1
00:00:00.310 --> 00:00:03.450
All right, guys, welcome in to our Monday night soiree.
2
00:00:03.490 --> 00:00:06.169
We call Extra Point with Phil Jones. It's more like
3
00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:08.480
Extra Point with Phil Jones and friends.
4
00:00:09.460 --> 00:00:10.919
Mark Dykes, our.
5
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:16.100
Very own, well, he's a founder, my boss. He could
6
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:18.199
be joining us at any point now. He's in a
7
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:23.219
very important meeting. And, Mark, get it, man. You take
8
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:25.100
whatever time you need, Mark. I got it on this end.
9
00:00:25.780 --> 00:00:27.559
But Mark's in a very important meeting right now.
10
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:28.960
But I do have LG with me.
11
00:00:29.019 --> 00:00:30.359
Larry Godwin. Larry, what's going on, buddy?
12
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:31.839
Hey, man. How are you?
13
00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:33.240
I'm doing great.
14
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:35.479
Doing great. Ready to talk a little high school football. And, boy,
15
00:00:35.500 --> 00:00:37.560
there is no shortage of things to talk about, is there?
16
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:40.899
I hear you. Let's do it. All right, guys.
17
00:00:41.659 --> 00:00:44.340
Most of you know the gig. Listen, just chat with me, man.
18
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:45.939
Chat with me and Larry. We're going to read as
19
00:00:45.979 --> 00:00:49.130
many of your comments as we can. If I miss you, come.
20
00:00:48.979 --> 00:00:51.329
Back to us. Kerry Claver says, about time.
21
00:00:51.810 --> 00:00:55.990
You know, I mean, if you're a Jones, you're always late,
22
00:00:56.130 --> 00:00:58.670
or what we like to say, fashionably late. So I
23
00:00:59.030 --> 00:01:03.009
don't know about the fashionably, but Phillip, Jacob, Williams, and
24
00:01:03.090 --> 00:01:06.390
Kerry are our first online visitors tonight.
25
00:01:06.420 --> 00:01:07.140
What's up, guys?
26
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.099
Kerry Claiborne is rooting on those Wolves, always the Wolves.
27
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.980
And I'll remind you about the R.E.M. song called Wolves Lore.
28
00:01:15.819 --> 00:01:18.980
I bet 99% of you have no clue what I'm talking.
29
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:19.519
About, but that's okay.
30
00:01:20.739 --> 00:01:24.659
I was thinking more along the lines of Duran Duran,
31
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:25.700
Hungry Like the Wolf.
32
00:01:26.019 --> 00:01:26.859
That's a good one.
33
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:27.879
I like that.
34
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:31.090
I love it. When I think of Duran Duran, I
35
00:01:31.109 --> 00:01:33.409
think about Friday night. Remember the Friday night videos he
36
00:01:33.489 --> 00:01:34.329
used to play?
37
00:01:34.450 --> 00:01:36.909
Play all night long. Larry, are you too young to
38
00:01:36.930 --> 00:01:37.609
remember that?
39
00:01:38.370 --> 00:01:42.980
No. So now there's a lot in your audience. that
40
00:01:43.019 --> 00:01:45.000
probably don't even

know who Duran Duran is.
41
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:45.950
You're right.
42
00:01:45.969 --> 00:01:50.069
I have no clue what I'm talking about, man. So
43
00:01:50.129 --> 00:01:51.989
with that being said, we probably need to go. Like
44
00:01:52.030 --> 00:01:55.750
Luke Nelson said, let's go, man. Let's get on with
45
00:01:55.790 --> 00:01:58.599
the stuff. But anyway, time for reminiscing. We'll come on
46
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.219
a later show. But right now we're here set to
47
00:02:01.260 --> 00:02:03.700
talk high school football. And look, we're going to get
48
00:02:03.739 --> 00:02:07.079
into all the specifics. My man Luke Nelson, a.k.a. Big Buford,
49
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:11.310
says let's go. Kerry is kind of like, I don't know,
50
00:02:12.210 --> 00:02:14.669
Big Buford number two or.
51
00:02:14.469 --> 00:02:17.150
Something like that. Remember Mr. Rassler number one and Mr.
52
00:02:17.189 --> 00:02:19.270
Rassler number two? It's kind of that thing.
53
00:02:19.849 --> 00:02:22.629
But anyway, we're certainly going to talk some Buford. Nathan
54
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:27.259
Lincoln says, go Vikings. Andrew Watkins, Daugherty High's number one fan,
55
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:29.280
is in the house. They've got a big game coming
56
00:02:29.300 --> 00:02:33.319
up with Columbus Shaw this weekend. Obadiah Farley, TCC's number
57
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:35.960
one fan. I bet he has got a small, wide
58
00:02:35.979 --> 00:02:39.860
as a mile today. What's going on ITG, TCC, LG?
59
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.680
And everybody checking in today. Jim Blair says, Go Pack
60
00:02:43.699 --> 00:02:46.939
Go from Moultrie, Georgia, home of the Colquitt County Packers,
61
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:48.699
or as I like to say, home of the Cold
62
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:49.979
Cut County Packers.
63
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.039
Took the weed off to get ready for Rickers.
64
00:02:52.060 --> 00:02:54.240
Yeah, by the way, you guys check out my Colquitt
65
00:02:54.259 --> 00:02:56.639
County Coaches Show with Sean Calhoun.
66
00:02:56.699 --> 00:03:00.039
It was one of six that I recorded earlier today.
67
00:03:00.099 --> 00:03:02.560
And, of course, one of the other ones was Dean
68
00:03:02.590 --> 00:03:06.009
Fabrizio with the Lee County Trojans. Definitely want to check
69
00:03:06.030 --> 00:03:08.849
that one out. Coach is very classy. Had a lot
70
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.240
of great things to say about TCC. Phillip Jacob Williams says,
71
00:03:12.259 --> 00:03:14.759
Aiden McPherson was nominated for the Sports Illustrated Player.
72
00:03:14.580 --> 00:03:14.879
Of the Week.
73
00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:17.039
Yeah, he's definitely probably going to be one of our
74
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:18.199
top performers this week.
75
00:03:19.939 --> 00:03:23.159
Gary Claver says, I ain't Luke's sidekick. Come on, man.
76
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:24.979
I thought that was a compliment.
77
00:03:25.699 --> 00:03:27.520
Man, okay then.
78
00:03:27.539 --> 00:03:30.169
Those two must have had a falling out or something.
79
00:03:30.250 --> 00:03:31.330
I don't know.
80
00:03:31.430 --> 00:03:32.169
Nah, they're buddies.
81
00:03:32.969 --> 00:03:36.650
Rufus is the man. Replying to Jim Blair, I heard
82
00:03:36.689 --> 00:03:39.069
that Rickards texted and asked if we wanted to forfeit.
83
00:03:39.650 --> 00:03:42.759
Oh, and the shots have begun.
84
00:03:43.539 --> 00:03:46.800
All right. No, I don't think that's the case. But anyway,
85
00:03:46.819 --> 00:03:50.199
I want to thank Dr. Kevin Collins, the Houston Clinic
86
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:54.849
sponsors of our show. Big thanks to Kevin Collins. He's
87
00:03:54.889 --> 00:03:55.810
the best in the business.
88
00:03:55.830 --> 00:03:58.490
I had somebody talking to me over the weekend about
89
00:03:58.509 --> 00:03:59.069
Kevin Collins.
90
00:03:59.090 --> 00:04:00.150
I said, hey, man, I see you got Dr. Kevin
91
00:04:00.169 --> 00:04:02.210
Collins as your show sponsor. He's been with us a
92
00:04:02.229 --> 00:04:05.699
long time. He also sponsors the Sean Calhoun, the aforementioned
93
00:04:06.090 --> 00:04:10.050
Sean Calhoun-Calkwood County show because he is the team doctor.
94
00:04:10.610 --> 00:04:12.129
The team physician is Dr.
95
00:04:12.150 --> 00:04:15.229
Kevin Collins for the Calhoun County Packers as well as
96
00:04:15.270 --> 00:04:19.319
the Valdosta State University Blazer championship football team. And we
97
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.839
are delighted to have him as our sponsor. And he's
98
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:23.279
a friend.
99
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.220
So double trouble there.
100
00:04:26.699 --> 00:04:27.439
What's on your mind, Larry?
101
00:04:28.019 --> 00:04:31.899
Hey, Phil, Greg Hackle. is a Toombs County fan checking
102
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.060
in from Daytona. He's got to be feeling good on
103
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.459
the beach right now because his Toombs County's team is
104
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.839
4-0 and number one in the PSR ranking in AAA.
105
00:04:42.980 --> 00:04:46.459
Yeah. You know, Toombs County has been our number one team,
106
00:04:48.500 --> 00:04:50.279
whatever class they're in. I can never keep up.
107
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:52.800
But they are our number one team.
108
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.519
In fact, we'll kind of give you an update on
109
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:00.389
Fitzgerald drops out of the number one but we'll talk
110
00:05:00.410 --> 00:05:02.829
more about that as we go forward. Kerry Claiborne tuning
111
00:05:02.850 --> 00:05:05.519
in this week when Valdosta takes on the local sixth
112
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.420
grade team to boost their PSR.
113
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:11.040
All right, now let's keep the low shots.
114
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.120
Did that just come out of Kerry's mouth when they
115
00:05:13.139 --> 00:05:14.019
played Seconder?
116
00:05:16.139 --> 00:05:19.259
Well, in fairness, they have
in total played a much
117
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:22.310
tougher schedule, and they've got to play Seconder.
118
00:05:22.529 --> 00:05:23.550
I mean, Seconder.
119
00:05:23.569 --> 00:05:25.759
Seconder. Yeah.
120
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:26.800
They got to play them.
121
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.060
Uh, I did not mean to say that. I really
122
00:05:30.100 --> 00:05:32.980
did not. That that's very low class. Uh, I am
123
00:05:33.019 --> 00:05:36.250
here to support all young men and all, all these schools.
124
00:05:36.290 --> 00:05:36.720
So that's it.
125
00:05:37.069 --> 00:05:39.470
I said that was in poor taste. So I apologize
126
00:05:39.490 --> 00:05:39.730
for that.
127
00:05:39.970 --> 00:05:40.269
Anyway.
128
00:05:40.889 --> 00:05:44.589
Um, well that, that, that, that, that Buford region is
129
00:05:44.610 --> 00:05:47.009
just very, you know, it's a very diluted.
130
00:05:47.029 --> 00:05:47.769
Let me put it that way.
131
00:05:48.230 --> 00:05:51.689
Um, Mack Foster Jr., tough time Friday night for our
132
00:05:51.709 --> 00:05:54.569
Tiff County Blue Devils. They took it on the chin,
133
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:58.160
35-14 against the Coffey County Trojans, who, by the way,
134
00:05:58.860 --> 00:06:03.600
look out for Coffey. I'm telling you, Coffey is an
135
00:06:03.660 --> 00:06:05.779
emerging ball club.
136
00:06:06.660 --> 00:06:06.800
Okay?
137
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:08.600
And I'm not saying that just because they beat Tiff County.
138
00:06:08.620 --> 00:06:15.160
I'm not. They look really sound. It's old-style football. Going
139
00:06:15.180 --> 00:06:17.480
to run it down your throat. And we're going to
140
00:06:17.500 --> 00:06:20.889
play good defense. Mark my word. You remember I said this.
141
00:06:20.930 --> 00:06:26.620
We've got all these shows archived. And you mark my word. Coffee, high. Trojans,
142
00:06:26.740 --> 00:06:28.939
remember that score. Larry?
143
00:06:30.300 --> 00:06:33.680
Yeah, we talked about that game last week. And I
144
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:39.889
understand coffee brought a good crowd. Trojans played very, very well. So,
145
00:06:39.949 --> 00:06:42.870
Tiff County, you know, they're improving, but they haven't quite
146
00:06:43.050 --> 00:06:43.990
turned the corner yet.
147
00:06:44.509 --> 00:06:44.790
That's it.
148
00:06:44.810 --> 00:06:45.629
It's a very good assessment.
149
00:06:46.189 --> 00:06:51.480
Very good assessment. They are– They're learning how to win,
150
00:06:51.500 --> 00:06:53.639
as Coach Jeff Littleton says.
151
00:06:53.660 --> 00:06:57.639
Okay. Daniel Calhoun says, coffee still is your players.
152
00:06:58.220 --> 00:06:58.740
Okay.
153
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:01.980
Andrew Watkins says.
154
00:07:02.060 --> 00:07:06.540
Braves baseball postseason tomorrow night, best of three.
155
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:08.079
Why do I not feel good about that?
156
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:13.980
I should. Braves just scare me, you know. And I hate,
157
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.519
by the way, I hate these best of three.
158
00:07:17.060 --> 00:07:17.230
Yeah.
159
00:07:17.870 --> 00:07:20.740
They got to get rid of that, okay? I mean,
160
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:22.240
you come out in the best of three, you have
161
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.939
one bad game, you're done, man. You're cooked.
162
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:28.720
What would you rather, old school best of five?
163
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:33.790
100%. Yeah. 100%. Best of five. Nothing should be less
164
00:07:33.810 --> 00:07:36.490
than best of five. And the impassive best of five,
165
00:07:36.509 --> 00:07:41.110
you do best of seven. You got to have something that,
166
00:07:41.389 --> 00:07:44.879
you know, you got to have something in total that
167
00:07:45.730 --> 00:07:50.439
that measures the strengths and weaknesses of both teams. And
168
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:53.939
to me, Larry, that does not come in a best-of-three series.
169
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:56.639
What that does, a best-two-out-of-three, you know what that does?
170
00:07:58.459 --> 00:08:01.500
That rewards the team that just gets hot on any
171
00:08:01.540 --> 00:08:02.060
given day.
172
00:08:02.459 --> 00:08:02.660
Sure.
173
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:04.439
You follow me?
174
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.100
Yeah, I do. I agree with you there.
175
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.810
Yeah, I just don't like that. It stinks. And again, guys,
176
00:08:11.870 --> 00:08:14.610
I promise we're going to talk football. This real quick,
177
00:08:14.629 --> 00:08:16.589
and I'll get it out of my system. You play
178
00:08:16.610 --> 00:08:26.959
162-game season. And you're fighting to win your division over
179
00:08:27.019 --> 00:08:32.139
that 100. Being better many more times than not over
180
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:33.960
that 162-game season.
181
00:08:34.340 --> 00:08:34.879
Okay?
182
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:37.379
And now you're going to tell me you're going to
183
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.740
let the playoff, your playoff livelihood come down.
184
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.320
To the best two out of three.
185
00:08:45.340 --> 00:08:48.740
No, no, no. That stinks, man. I don't like that.
186
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:53.039
All right. Ken Washington, Jr., Cat's checking in. How's it
187
00:08:53.090 --> 00:08:55.710
going today, fellas? Ken, it's going well, man. Things are
188
00:08:56.029 --> 00:08:59.809
going to start to heat up here a little bit. Larry,
189
00:08:59.830 --> 00:09:01.120
Lowndes was off Friday, wasn't he?
190
00:09:02.190 --> 00:09:06.809
Lowndes was off Friday. We needed a break. And I
191
00:09:06.850 --> 00:09:09.049
was glad to see it, too. I got a chance
192
00:09:09.100 --> 00:09:12.279
to make my way up to Nashville to watch my Rebels.
193
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.909
They didn't do too well, but I was still glad
194
00:09:15.929 --> 00:09:16.409
to be up there.
195
00:09:17.190 --> 00:09:21.090
Just like Tia, you know, Berrien is good.
They're getting better.
196
00:09:21.629 --> 00:09:24.309
But you've got to remember, man, it seems like Berrien, Jackson,
197
00:09:24.350 --> 00:09:27.250
he's done a great job with Berrien, but Larry, are
198
00:09:27.289 --> 00:09:28.370
you messing with your microphone?
199
00:09:28.850 --> 00:09:29.629
Yeah. Okay.
200
00:09:30.029 --> 00:09:31.909
Berrien is taking baby steps.
201
00:09:32.690 --> 00:09:35.980
Okay. I mean, learning how to win. You remember the
202
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:39.600
Foo Fighters learning how to fly? Well, the Berrien County
203
00:09:39.659 --> 00:09:43.309
Rebels are learning how to win. Now, Jackson Dean did
204
00:09:43.350 --> 00:09:46.539
a great job last year, brought them back and made
205
00:09:46.580 --> 00:09:47.620
the playoffs, but.
206
00:09:48.700 --> 00:09:51.679
Take it easy. Just got to still learn how to win.
207
00:09:51.860 --> 00:09:56.370
That may have been biting off a little bit too much,
208
00:09:56.470 --> 00:09:58.789
and I'm not taking anything away from Jackson I don't
209
00:09:58.809 --> 00:10:01.769
want anybody to misunderstand what I'm saying. I'm not saying
210
00:10:01.789 --> 00:10:03.610
that at all. I'm just saying to jump, to try
211
00:10:03.649 --> 00:10:06.009
to make that leap up to Thomasville, maybe a little
212
00:10:06.029 --> 00:10:07.029
bit too much, but you know what?
213
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:08.480
They're getting there. I promise you that.
214
00:10:08.929 --> 00:10:14.120
Yeah, so Aaron lost 56-21, and I walked away very
215
00:10:14.259 --> 00:10:15.220
proud of that team.
216
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:16.039
Yeah, sure.
217
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:17.320
I was talking to a lot of people over the
218
00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:19.840
weekend about it. It's like, I got asked, be proud
219
00:10:19.860 --> 00:10:24.259
of a team that loses 56-21. You had to be there. Phil,
220
00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:30.350
you can tell there is a complete culture change in Nashville.
221
00:10:31.090 --> 00:10:33.730
It's no secret that Varian does not have a long
222
00:10:33.789 --> 00:10:37.789
history of winning when it comes to football. It's going
223
00:10:37.809 --> 00:10:42.090
to take some time to turn the Titanic, if you will.
224
00:10:43.850 --> 00:10:46.210
He's done that by taking the first step and that's
225
00:10:46.669 --> 00:10:50.159
changing the culture of not just the team, but the
226
00:10:50.259 --> 00:10:53.700
town as well. I mean, when I say people are
227
00:10:53.740 --> 00:10:57.899
behind that program, that entire community is completely sold out. Now,
228
00:10:58.539 --> 00:11:01.259
I was a little bit disappointed when I heard some
229
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:04.779
of the students and some of the casual fans start
230
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:09.320
to get on to the Berrien team. There's a little
231
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:12.700
bit of still old school mentality there. It's like, we
232
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.299
got an awful football team, but the vast majority of
233
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.669
the fans and the students that I talked to They're
234
00:11:18.710 --> 00:11:21.129
completely bought in. And I'm so glad to see this
235
00:11:21.190 --> 00:11:21.789
culture change.
236
00:11:22.789 --> 00:11:23.370
Absolutely.
237
00:11:23.429 --> 00:11:24.830
We're going to get into more of your comments here
238
00:11:24.850 --> 00:11:26.269
in a minute. Of course, I want to go right
239
00:11:26.309 --> 00:11:28.690
to and start talking about the game, which was one
240
00:11:28.710 --> 00:11:31.909
of the most anticipated games of the entire season. And that,
241
00:11:31.929 --> 00:11:36.519
of course, was Lee County, Thomas County Central. And I
242
00:11:36.580 --> 00:11:39.700
did talk to Dean Fabrizio today. It was a part
243
00:11:39.779 --> 00:11:43.299
of the many coaching shows that I record. He actually
244
00:11:43.340 --> 00:11:46.700
joined me Friday night on my Friday night scoreboard show.
245
00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:47.200
Okay.
246
00:11:47.220 --> 00:11:47.320
Okay.
247
00:11:47.889 --> 00:11:49.509
So I had a chance to talk to Dean Fabrizio.
248
00:11:49.529 --> 00:11:50.649
You want to talk about class.
249
00:11:50.710 --> 00:11:54.509
And he was classy both Friday night and in today's show.
250
00:11:55.799 --> 00:12:00.559
Very classy. Gave all the credit to Thomas County Central.
251
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.740
Definitely a tip of the hat to Thomas County Central.
252
00:12:03.860 --> 00:12:09.440
And the play of Aiden McPherson, who may– if he's
253
00:12:09.460 --> 00:12:11.899
not the most electric player, he's certainly one of them.
254
00:12:12.230 --> 00:12:15.970
He basically was all of the offense– for Thomas County
255
00:12:16.009 --> 00:12:17.990
Central the other night. And I'm not saying that in
256
00:12:18.029 --> 00:12:19.889
a bad way. Thomas County Central has got a lot
257
00:12:19.909 --> 00:12:22.990
of good talent, good talented players. But he really took
258
00:12:23.070 --> 00:12:28.450
that game over. And it was just incredible. And so, anyway,
259
00:12:28.750 --> 00:12:30.590
we'll definitely talk about, is that the end of the
260
00:12:30.629 --> 00:12:32.610
world for Lee County? No, of course not.
261
00:12:32.970 --> 00:12:34.669
But I've got to ask the question.
262
00:12:34.700 --> 00:12:36.480
Okay.
263
00:12:37.389 --> 00:12:39.820
Who's going to touch Thomas County Central?
264
00:12:42.220 --> 00:12:46.389
And is Thomas County Central The best team in the
265
00:12:46.509 --> 00:12:47.149
state of Georgia.
266
00:12:48.970 --> 00:12:49.620
I'm just asking.
267
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:51.480
Best team in the state of Georgia.
268
00:12:51.740 --> 00:12:53.539
No. I'm talking about any classification.
269
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:55.480
No, but they're close.
270
00:12:56.059 --> 00:12:59.100
Okay. What would qualify that?
271
00:13:00.779 --> 00:13:03.960
Well, you still have some really elite teams out there.
272
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.600
Carrollton's an elite team. Buford's certainly an elite team.
273
00:13:07.820 --> 00:13:08.019
Yeah.
274
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:11.169
So to be better or the best in the state
275
00:13:11.190 --> 00:13:13.190
of Georgia, that means that you would have to be
276
00:13:13.370 --> 00:13:16.029
better than Buford or Carrington. I just don't think they're there.
277
00:13:16.210 --> 00:13:18.580
They might be, but there's no way to see that
278
00:13:18.620 --> 00:13:19.529
unless they play them.
279
00:13:19.980 --> 00:13:20.500
You're correct.
280
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:22.559
That is correct. And it was kind of my point, Larry,
281
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:23.539
in bringing that up.
282
00:13:24.190 --> 00:13:25.809
You know, we can have these conversations.
283
00:13:25.870 --> 00:13:26.490
Who's best?
284
00:13:26.529 --> 00:13:27.190
Who's better?
285
00:13:27.289 --> 00:13:27.970
You're a better bet.
286
00:13:28.610 --> 00:13:31.850
It reminds me of the who. You better, you better,
287
00:13:31.870 --> 00:13:32.230
you bet.
288
00:13:32.549 --> 00:13:33.110
Right, right.
289
00:13:33.129 --> 00:13:35.370
You see all the music connections I'm making today, Larry?
290
00:13:35.669 --> 00:13:36.610
You see that, what I'm doing there?
291
00:13:36.629 --> 00:13:37.509
Yeah.
292
00:13:37.710 --> 00:13:39.750
And again, if you know, you know. If you're a
293
00:13:39.769 --> 00:13:42.210
who fan, do you like who?
294
00:13:44.750 --> 00:13:45.549
Do I like the who?
295
00:13:46.169 --> 00:13:48.289
Yeah.
296
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:50.580
No, I like the what, though.
297
00:13:52.340 --> 00:13:54.360
I knew you were going somewhere with that.
298
00:13:54.379 --> 00:13:56.740
That's pretty good, Larry.
299
00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:57.639
I love it.
300
00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:00.139
And I'm very high on the how, you know?
301
00:14:01.580 --> 00:14:02.220
I love it.
302
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:06.029
He's coming right back with it.
303
00:14:09.009 --> 00:14:11.870
Cold Boy cracks me up. Cold saying LG is a hater.
304
00:14:12.269 --> 00:14:15.389
I'm a hater by saying TCC is one of the best.
305
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.409
I just don't think they're better than Buford or Carrollton.
306
00:14:18.570 --> 00:14:19.970
That makes me a hater nowadays.
307
00:14:19.990 --> 00:14:21.990
Well, again, it's just really hard to say.
308
00:14:22.070 --> 00:14:28.970
I mean, the ultimate test is if these teams play.
309
00:14:29.269 --> 00:14:31.009
Okay, that's the only way we're going to get there.
310
00:14:31.409 --> 00:14:33.539
I will say this, and I think this is a
311
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:36.700
fair question or statement, whatever you want to call it.
312
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:38.740
So, I believe right now.
313
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.720
In 7A, let's look at it this way. I think
314
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:49.460
in 7A, you've got Buford. North.
315
00:14:51.259 --> 00:14:51.820
Newton.
316
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:52.559
Yeah.
317
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:54.850
And maybe Roswell. Okay.
318
00:14:55.289 --> 00:14:58.070
In seven, a no knock on anybody.
319
00:14:59.009 --> 00:15:03.669
I just, I'm talking about teams that can truly compete
320
00:15:03.690 --> 00:15:07.169
for the state. Right. In six, a it's wide open.
321
00:15:07.820 --> 00:15:10.360
I think you've got, I think Creekside and TCC would
322
00:15:10.379 --> 00:15:13.259
be a great game. I think Roswell and TCC would
323
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.159
be a great game. I think, I think, listen, I
324
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:19.340
think coffee and TCC is going to be a really
325
00:15:19.379 --> 00:15:21.070
good game.
326
00:15:21.710 --> 00:15:24.950
Let me ask you a question, Phil, and our fans
327
00:15:24.990 --> 00:15:28.389
out there. As far as TCC goes, if, I mean,
328
00:15:28.409 --> 00:15:31.950
this is a big if, and it's hard to answer,
329
00:15:32.330 --> 00:15:38.250
almost impossible, but we all recognize that Aiden McPherson is
330
00:15:38.289 --> 00:15:42.820
a difference maker, right? I mean, that was evident. If
331
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:47.070
Aiden McPherson is not there this year, would Thomas County
332
00:15:47.110 --> 00:15:50.700
Central still be the same team that it is now? No.
333
00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:55.080
I agree with you. And so that's why I say
334
00:15:55.179 --> 00:15:58.860
that it's hard for me to make the argument that
335
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:04.139
they're the best team, but you're one injury away from
336
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:07.409
a key player to not being the best team. And
337
00:16:07.610 --> 00:16:09.009
that's the struggle that you have.
338
00:16:09.490 --> 00:16:11.710
Yeah, a lot of people have been making that conversation,
339
00:16:11.769 --> 00:16:14.190
mostly privately to me today. And I want to make
340
00:16:14.230 --> 00:16:17.190
sure you understand what I'm saying. Now, nobody is coming
341
00:16:17.250 --> 00:16:20.960
out and saying, hey, you know, they're not a good team.
342
00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:23.379
Without Aiden McPherson. That's not what anybody is saying.
343
00:16:23.460 --> 00:16:26.899
But the young man accounted for every single touchdown, and
344
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:32.730
he's good enough to do that. And so that's why
345
00:16:32.769 --> 00:16:36.179
I say call feet. would give because Coffey has got
346
00:16:36.259 --> 00:16:38.559
a really good defense, okay?
347
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:42.610
They just play old school football, ground control football.
348
00:16:43.029 --> 00:16:45.389
And so I think that kind of team could give,
349
00:16:45.429 --> 00:16:47.070
with a lot of size, could give TCC.
350
00:16:47.909 --> 00:16:49.169
Like you said, here's what it's going to take.
351
00:16:49.750 --> 00:16:51.950
Yeah, if the quarterback has one bad game, I think
352
00:16:51.990 --> 00:16:55.429
it's going to exploit some things with TCC. Now, again,
353
00:16:55.490 --> 00:16:58.879
I want to
make sure everybody understands what I'm saying.
354
00:16:59.379 --> 00:17:02.610
You know, That may give some of these other playmakers
355
00:17:02.690 --> 00:17:05.130
a chance. I don't think they've got the same playmakers
356
00:17:05.170 --> 00:17:08.789
like they did last year, but again, they're playing really well,
357
00:17:08.809 --> 00:17:11.170
but they've got, and you guys know what I say
358
00:17:11.210 --> 00:17:12.730
about quarterbacks all the time.
359
00:17:14.089 --> 00:17:18.029
What do I say about quarterbacks all the time? You are.
360
00:17:18.849 --> 00:17:22.480
As good as your quarterback is your team. Okay.
361
00:17:22.539 --> 00:17:24.819
You are as good as your quarterback will take you.
362
00:17:24.859 --> 00:17:25.930
However you want to phrase it.
363
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:26.740
Right.
364
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:28.140
And there was no clear reason.
365
00:17:30.450 --> 00:17:37.900
Definition or proof of that than Friday night in Leesburg, Georgia, brother.
366
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:40.160
And if you don't believe it, you're just fooling yourself.
367
00:17:41.859 --> 00:17:45.400
So, Phil, I think we've seen on the other side,
368
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.259
you know, there was another team that played Friday night,
369
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.150
Lee County. And, you know, Lee County is a good
370
00:17:52.250 --> 00:17:54.750
football team, but I see a trend with Lee County,
371
00:17:54.829 --> 00:17:58.329
and it's reared its head in probably most of their
372
00:17:58.369 --> 00:18:03.569
games this year where– they tend to shoot themselves in
373
00:18:03.589 --> 00:18:07.450
the foot and get down early against multiple teams and
374
00:18:07.490 --> 00:18:11.700
then try their mightiest to claw and scratch their way back.
375
00:18:12.140 --> 00:18:14.720
And against lesser teams, they were able to do– I
376
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:17.259
shouldn't call some of the teams they played lesser, but
377
00:18:20.259 --> 00:18:23.809
if they try to do that with someone like a central,
378
00:18:24.029 --> 00:18:26.410
it's not going to go well the vast majority of
379
00:18:26.430 --> 00:18:29.170
the time. So is this– I'm talking about Lee County.
380
00:18:29.529 --> 00:18:33.630
Is this a trend that they're either going to fix
381
00:18:34.630 --> 00:18:37.210
or is it going to plague them all year long
382
00:18:37.250 --> 00:18:39.829
where they fall behind early and have to try to
383
00:18:40.329 --> 00:18:44.650
storm back? Unless Dean gets that fixed, they may be
384
00:18:44.769 --> 00:18:46.609
in some trouble later on in the season.
385
00:18:46.990 --> 00:18:51.900
I encourage everybody to take a look at my conversation
386
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:55.039
I had earlier today with Dean Fabrizio. Again, that was
387
00:18:55.099 --> 00:18:58.420
the Lee County Coaches Show. I encourage everybody to take
388
00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:01.359
a look at it. We went about 20 minutes. And
389
00:19:01.819 --> 00:19:07.049
Fabrizio talked about the things that he thought went wrong. Now,
390
00:19:07.210 --> 00:19:09.630
you make a good point. I actually brought that up.
391
00:19:10.009 --> 00:19:11.349
I'll go ahead and kind of give you a sneak
392
00:19:11.410 --> 00:19:18.049
peek into what Fabrizio said. He thought his players didn't
393
00:19:18.089 --> 00:19:27.599
handle the big play, the big game environment very well. Right.
394
00:19:28.220 --> 00:19:32.369
Follow me, Larry? Yeah. Yeah. He just said he didn't
395
00:19:32.410 --> 00:19:38.950
think his players handled all of the big game pomp
396
00:19:39.029 --> 00:19:42.160
and circumstance. He didn't think they handled it very well.
397
00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:45.440
Thought they'd come out, may have been a little over-amped.
398
00:19:45.500 --> 00:19:46.119
You know what I mean?
399
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:50.420
And as soon as things started going south, he thought
400
00:19:50.460 --> 00:19:54.450
the players didn't react very well. Now, you know, but
401
00:19:54.470 --> 00:19:56.670
you guys can make some good points. You know, it
402
00:19:56.710 --> 00:20:00.069
was kind of that way in the Sequoia game. Now,
403
00:20:00.089 --> 00:20:02.009
I think that's the game you're referring to, right?
404
00:20:02.589 --> 00:20:05.289
Well, they did that against Sequoia. They did it against
405
00:20:05.309 --> 00:20:05.890
Carroll City.
406
00:20:05.910 --> 00:20:05.980
Yes.
407
00:20:06.470 --> 00:20:06.670
Yes.
408
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:08.220
Right, good point, Larry.
409
00:20:08.339 --> 00:20:11.259
So that's three, could be possibly four games they've done
410
00:20:11.420 --> 00:20:11.880
that this year.
411
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.440
Good point, Larry. I forgot about that. So you're right, Larry.
412
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.549
That could be a mindset where they come out, like,
413
00:20:18.650 --> 00:20:22.369
with no sense of urgency. And I don't know. Maybe
414
00:20:22.390 --> 00:20:24.509
that's too harsh. But I think maybe it's one of
415
00:20:24.529 --> 00:20:26.970
these deals where, hey, we know we can turn it on.
416
00:20:26.990 --> 00:20:30.450
Everybody be cool. We'll just flip a switch and turn
417
00:20:30.490 --> 00:20:32.680
it on. Well, the problem was those other teams wouldn't
418
00:20:32.700 --> 00:20:33.359
Thomas County Central.
419
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:34.000
Right.
420
00:20:35.289 --> 00:20:39.589
So, Stephen Tate, what's up, Stephen? Speaking of coffee high school,
421
00:20:39.630 --> 00:20:44.119
coffee fan, Stephen Tate says, we are tailgating this Friday
422
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:47.000
for the coffee league game. And I'll tell you what,
423
00:20:47.819 --> 00:20:50.019
Lee County, it's like, you know, we talked about Fabrizio today.
424
00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:53.359
You know, don't let TCC beat you twice. You know,
425
00:20:53.420 --> 00:20:55.829
Lee County has got to put that TCC game behind
426
00:20:55.849 -->
00:20:58.349
them and they got to get ready for coffee. I'm
427
00:20:58.450 --> 00:21:03.150
telling you, okay, you guys can laugh. Coffee is a good,
428
00:21:03.589 --> 00:21:07.279
solid football team. By the way, I've got to take
429
00:21:07.299 --> 00:21:09.299
a shot because I love all the people who doubt me.
430
00:21:11.140 --> 00:21:13.279
Last year, everybody was doubting me on Irwin County. I
431
00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:14.500
told you Irwin County was not going to be any
432
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:16.700
good last year, and they weren't. And so I had
433
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:21.359
the last laugh. So I predicted Cedartown, who was 2-8
434
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:24.500
last year. I predicted this year they were going to
435
00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:27.670
be a top-10 team. Oh, man, you should have heard
436
00:21:27.769 --> 00:21:32.670
the jokesters. Do you know what you're talking about? You
437
00:21:32.710 --> 00:21:37.990
must have just started watching high school football. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well,
438
00:21:38.029 --> 00:21:41.049
lo and behold, looky, looky, looky.
439
00:21:41.750 --> 00:21:42.690
Here comes Cookie.
440
00:21:44.670 --> 00:21:48.190
Cedartown is now, I think, 5-1, and they beat an
441
00:21:48.289 --> 00:21:51.130
undefeated Dalton team, went to overtime the other night and
442
00:21:51.150 --> 00:21:53.490
did it. But the point being is I've had Cedartown
443
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:55.720
ranked all year, and everybody keeps saying, oh, just wait
444
00:21:55.740 --> 00:21:58.880
until next week. Just wait until next week. So, anyway,
445
00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:00.799
I just had to get that out of my system. Because,
446
00:22:00.859 --> 00:22:02.920
you know, I like when people– if you want to
447
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:08.130
bring the– the, if you want to bring it, I'm
448
00:22:08.150 --> 00:22:10.359
going to wind up bringing the receipts. Sure. And that's
449
00:22:10.380 --> 00:22:10.740
what I did.
450
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:12.680
So anyway, I just want to get that off my chest, Larry.
451
00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:14.599
I hear you, man.
452
00:22:14.819 --> 00:22:17.160
I hear you. All right.
453
00:22:17.460 --> 00:22:19.900
So let's go back to some of the comments. Uh,
454
00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:21.539
let's see what we got there.
455
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:22.240
You want to read some of these?
456
00:22:23.549 --> 00:22:26.970
Yeah. So, uh, let's see. Steven Tate says we're tailgating
457
00:22:26.990 --> 00:22:29.549
this Friday for the coffee Lee County. I don't doubt
458
00:22:29.569 --> 00:22:33.490
it at all. Steven Tate, you guys are, I wonder,
459
00:22:33.730 --> 00:22:34.369
you know, uh.
460
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:37.839
Best tailgaters in the world, man. I promise you.
461
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:41.440
I know you like to call out or highlight the
462
00:22:42.460 --> 00:22:44.940
biggest fans of the games, but I wonder who's got
463
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:50.339
the best tailgaters of all the teams. Steven Tate has
464
00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:51.019
got to be up there.
465
00:22:51.619 --> 00:22:55.839
Steven Tate and those guys, I am telling you, you've
466
00:22:55.880 --> 00:23:01.549
never seen anything like it. I'm talking about casseroles. I'm
467
00:23:01.589 --> 00:23:07.829
talking about prime rib. I'm talking about desserts, cookies, cheesecakes.
468
00:23:10.630 --> 00:23:13.759
I would love to see a competition as far as
469
00:23:14.220 --> 00:23:20.400
tailgating between Stephen Tate for coffee and Tom Cosby at Lowndes.
470
00:23:22.630 --> 00:23:25.049
Those two are some great tailgaters.
471
00:23:25.390 --> 00:23:26.349
Oh, yes, yes, Tom.
472
00:23:26.410 --> 00:23:27.970
What am I thinking? Yes, Tom Cosby.
473
00:23:27.990 --> 00:23:29.880
Let me tell you about Tom. Tom and him get
474
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:32.920
started like at 8 o'clock in the morning on game day.
475
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:35.859
They're out there all stinking day.
476
00:23:36.220 --> 00:23:39.079
They really are. And, I mean, they bring the goods too.
477
00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:43.000
But still, Stephen Tate is up there. I think he's unparalleled, man.
478
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:45.500
I think he's unmatched. But, all right, so let's talk
479
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:48.380
about some of the other big games that took place.
480
00:23:49.970 --> 00:23:53.269
that took place around the state this past weekend. You
481
00:23:53.289 --> 00:23:55.750
guys can talk about any game you want to. Buford, obviously,
482
00:23:55.809 --> 00:23:59.210
they keep rolling. I tell you, is Carrollton the best
483
00:23:59.250 --> 00:24:00.970
team in the state? Well, we've got a few teams
484
00:24:01.009 --> 00:24:04.779
here that I think deserve the best team in the
485
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:08.819
state consideration. Listen, I said it way back at the
486
00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:11.759
beginning of the season. I think Carrollton, this might be
487
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:15.680
their year. But you know what? Until somebody knocks them off.
488
00:24:17.809 --> 00:24:22.619
Buford is your defending state champion and your defending national champion.
489
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:24.960
The way it is.
490
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:26.000
Well, Larry.
491
00:24:26.420 --> 00:24:31.680
Speaking of getting knocked off, how about Fitzgerald going down? Yep.
492
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:35.859
To a very good, you know, we all suspected, well, shoot,
493
00:24:35.940 --> 00:24:37.759
we all knew that Jeff Davis was going to be
494
00:24:37.779 --> 00:24:40.910
a good team this year, but I did not expect
495
00:24:40.950 --> 00:24:42.089
them to beat Fitzgerald.
496
00:24:43.250 --> 00:24:47.349
No, you know what, let me say this. I think
497
00:24:48.059 --> 00:24:50.640
And this is where Lee County has got to be careful. Okay.
498
00:24:51.420 --> 00:24:56.720
I think with Fitzgerald, I think that battle the previous
499
00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:58.099
week against Worth County.
500
00:24:58.559 --> 00:24:58.779
Yeah.
501
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:01.539
Say what you want to about Worth. Yeah, they're down
502
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:04.099
a little bit this year. But Jeff Hammond is one
503
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:07.519
of the best offensive coaches, one of the best motivators.
504
00:25:07.940 --> 00:25:11.480
And he had his team absolutely motivated to the hilt
505
00:25:11.900 --> 00:25:14.660
to play that game. It was a very physical game, Larry.
506
00:25:15.210 --> 00:25:18.640
And I think sometimes it takes a lot out of
507
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:21.000
a team. Those two teams went at each other. 25-20,
508
00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:26.880
if you'll remember, the final score. Fitzgerald beats Worth County,
509
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:31.089
but it was an absolute battle. Now, I say that
510
00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:35.289
to say I think Fitzgerald didn't leave anything out there,
511
00:25:35.430 --> 00:25:37.950
and it drained them in that game. And now they're
512
00:25:37.990 --> 00:25:40.750
coming back playing a Jeff Davis team, and I think
513
00:25:40.789 --> 00:25:43.049
the tank may have been a little empty toward the
514
00:25:43.069 --> 00:25:45.220
end of that game. And I think it showed– because
515
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:47.259
that was– listen, that was not a one-point win. That
516
00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:48.779
was a very impressive win by Jeff Davis.
517
00:25:49.900 --> 00:25:53.740
It really was. It was almost a– what? It was
518
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:57.940
almost a ten-point– what, nine-point– 29-20. That's right. So, the
519
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:02.579
thing about Jeff Davis, they're not fancy on offense. You
520
00:26:02.619 --> 00:26:04.519
know what they're going to do. They're going to line up.
521
00:26:04.569 --> 00:26:07.029
They're going to run it right at you. They've thrown
522
00:26:07.250 --> 00:26:10.470
very few times this whole year. I think I read
523
00:26:10.509 --> 00:26:14.259
a stat where– I think it was their quarterback, Mark Durden.
524
00:26:14.779 --> 00:26:18.319
I think that's his name. He had almost 500 yards
525
00:26:18.380 --> 00:26:22.039
rushing this year, five touchdowns. Their running back, true running back,
526
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:26.880
Kobe Hill, had 345 yards himself. So you're talking two
527
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:31.480
guys approaching 900 yards on the ground this year. And
528
00:26:31.569 --> 00:26:34.789
so there's no mystery what Jeff Day was going to do.
529
00:26:34.849 --> 00:26:38.000
But even knowing what they were going to do, the
530
00:26:38.099 --> 00:26:40.880
way they were able to control the line of scrimmage
531
00:26:40.900 --> 00:26:43.099
against Fitzgerald was the surprising thing to me.
532
00:26:45.380 --> 00:26:48.359
Jamie Ledger has got a question. With Worth and Carver
533
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:51.259
going through some struggles in non-region games, in y'all's opinion,
534
00:26:51.299 --> 00:26:58.210
are they still the favorites to win Region 1-3-8? Thomasville's
535
00:26:58.230 --> 00:26:58.930
in that region, right?
536
00:27:00.970 --> 00:27:02.650
Which region was that?
537
00:27:02.670 --> 00:27:03.869
1-3-8. I got that.
538
00:27:03.990 --> 00:27:07.230
Thomasville is in... 1AA this year.
539
00:27:07.250 --> 00:27:07.470
I believe.
540
00:27:07.549 --> 00:27:08.529
Okay, I can't remember.
541
00:27:08.549 --> 00:27:11.009
I can't keep up. Tell me who all is in
542
00:27:11.049 --> 00:27:14.799
Region 138. Guys, I do all these rankings and stuff.
543
00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:15.539
I just can't keep up.
544
00:27:16.180 --> 00:27:18.059
Yeah, hold on. I'll give you that in a second.
545
00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:18.619
Yeah, please do.
546
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:25.589
All right, while you do that, Cole Moore, who's giving–
547
00:27:25.859 --> 00:27:26.920
everybody's giving them a pass.
548
00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:30.769
Who are you talking about? I'm not sure. I thought
549
00:27:30.829 --> 00:27:33.930
everybody was praising Thomas County Central this year.
550
00:27:36.349 --> 00:27:41.470
Yeah, I'm not sure what you're talking about. Stephen Tate says,
551
00:27:41.609 --> 00:27:45.430
Glenn Reed, Keon Powell, Rodney Johnson, DeMond, Kroon, we are
552
00:27:45.539 --> 00:27:47.950
all together. I got you, Stephen. What happened to– hold
553
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:52.579
on a second, Larry. Stephen Tate, what happened to– what's
554
00:27:52.619 --> 00:27:53.319
his name? Hey, buddy?
555
00:27:56.539 --> 00:27:59.940
Who am I thinking of? Stephen, who's your– Collins, yeah,
556
00:27:59.960 --> 00:28:05.890
Buddy McDaniel. That's him. Collins, yeah, buddy, McDaniel. What happened
557
00:28:05.930 --> 00:28:06.230
to him?
558
00:28:06.250 --> 00:28:08.190
Oh, I hadn't seen that guy in a while. Where's
559
00:28:08.230 --> 00:28:08.589
he been?
560
00:28:08.829 --> 00:28:10.529
That's what I was asking. He used to be right
561
00:28:10.549 --> 00:28:11.769
there in the middle of that tailgate.
562
00:28:11.829 --> 00:28:12.970
He was a big beans guy.
563
00:28:13.549 --> 00:28:16.509
Yeah, yeah, yeah. When I think of three guys from
564
00:28:17.049 --> 00:28:19.710
Coffee County, I'm talking about big fans. You got Stephen Tate,
565
00:28:19.730 --> 00:28:21.869
you got Chris Pace, and then Collins.
566
00:28:23.049 --> 00:28:23.509
Yeah, buddy.
567
00:28:24.089 --> 00:28:24.630
Yeah, buddy.
568
00:28:24.670 --> 00:28:27.529
Yeah, buddy. I think that's his legal name.
569
00:28:28.210 --> 00:28:30.150
Could be. Might be on his driver's license.
570
00:28:31.670 --> 00:28:33.029
Larry, you're catching on in my humor.
571
00:28:33.049 --> 00:28:34.089
You got your dropping blocks?
572
00:28:34.109 --> 00:28:37.289
Yeah, buddy. Larry's catching on in my humor pretty good now.
573
00:28:37.369 --> 00:28:41.109
I mean, nothing phases you like it used to. All right, Larry. Larry,
574
00:28:41.130 --> 00:28:41.589
what you got?
575
00:28:42.190 --> 00:28:47.630
One triple A. Carver, Columbus, Crisp County, Jordan, Kendrick, Sumter County,
576
00:28:48.059 --> 00:28:48.690
Worth County.
577
00:28:49.470 --> 00:28:50.599
I think that's Jordan, isn't it?
578
00:28:51.980 --> 00:28:54.740
Jordan, Jordan, depending on what part of Georgia you're from.
579
00:28:55.309 --> 00:28:57.430
Yeah, well, you know, that's the way that Jordan-Hare Stadium,
580
00:28:57.450 --> 00:28:59.539
you know, I don't know if there's a connection there.
581
00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:01.420
But anyway, I got you. So who is it again, Larry,
582
00:29:01.500 --> 00:29:01.940
one more time?
583
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:09.940
So you got Carver-Columbus, Chris County, Jordan, Kendrick, Sumter, Worth County.
584
00:29:14.029 --> 00:29:18.250
No, to be honest with you guys, I wouldn't be
585
00:29:18.289 --> 00:29:19.769
surprised to see Chris.
586
00:29:24.349 --> 00:29:26.569
Do you think it's going to hurt Worth this year
587
00:29:26.609 --> 00:29:28.630
just stepping up to AAA?
588
00:29:31.390 --> 00:29:34.890
Well, it looks like it already has. But you've got
589
00:29:34.910 --> 00:29:36.829
to realize, he lost a lot.
590
00:29:37.269 --> 00:29:39.509
Sure. You know, I mean, that was a big time
591
00:29:39.529 --> 00:29:41.750
state championship team last year.
592
00:29:41.769 --> 00:29:46.519
And listen, Jim Hammond, again, another one of the coaching
593
00:29:46.539 --> 00:29:47.240
shows that I do.
594
00:29:48.299 --> 00:29:52.119
So it's invaluable doing these coaching shows like this because
595
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:55.349
I get really the skin, the absolute skinning from these coaches.
596
00:29:55.529 --> 00:29:57.230
I mean, I get it. And I don't.
597
00:29:58.329 --> 00:30:01.210
I ask the important questions. I ask all the pertinent stuff.
598
00:30:01.269 --> 00:30:03.369
And so you kind of get an idea very quickly
599
00:30:03.809 --> 00:30:06.250
of what's going on. And, you know, I can remember
600
00:30:07.450 --> 00:30:08.900
Coach Jeff Hammond told me at the beginning of the year,
601
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:11.759
he said, you know what, we lost a lot. But
602
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.319
they battle and they have battled. And so, you know,
603
00:30:15.900 --> 00:30:17.880
it's just one of them things. You lose a lot
604
00:30:17.900 --> 00:30:20.240
of talent. The thing that gets me is, you know,
605
00:30:20.259 --> 00:30:23.180
Lennon Worthy is having a little bit of an off year.
606
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:25.190
And I'm not saying he's having a bad season, but,
607
00:30:25.349 --> 00:30:29.380
you know, compared to his standards, He's not the Lindenworthy
608
00:30:29.390 --> 00:30:30.980
like we've seen. And, man, I'm going to tell you,
609
00:30:30.990 --> 00:30:35.240
I don't know who they've got on deck circle ready
610
00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:37.680
to take over for quarterback at Worth County. But, man,
611
00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:43.000
Lindenworthy is a special, special player.
612
00:30:45.059 --> 00:30:48.759
So, Phil, Barry Grant has a question that says, has
613
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:52.970
the PSR ranking been updated? Yes, it has. Yes, it has.
614
00:30:53.660 --> 00:30:55.079
OK, well, now let me say something about this.
615
00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:59.079
OK, the PSR, you got to be careful because this
616
00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:05.470
thing is it's an ongoing thing to keep up with. OK,
617
00:31:06.230 --> 00:31:09.130
Todd Holcomb and I looked at it because we were
618
00:31:09.210 --> 00:31:13.859
wondering why it was changing so frequently. And, you know,
619
00:31:13.880 --> 00:31:16.759
Todd Holcomb is up there pretty close to the source
620
00:31:16.779 --> 00:31:17.279
of everything.
621
00:31:17.970 --> 00:31:19.789
He's been around a long time. He's a sharp, sharp guy.
622
00:31:19.809 --> 00:31:21.130
Y'all know Todd from AJC.
623
00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:22.940
Todd told me, he said, you know what, I think
624
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:26.240
I've got this PSR thing figured out. He said in
625
00:31:26.299 --> 00:31:29.660
talking with GHC, he said, you know, the problem is
626
00:31:29.700 --> 00:31:32.640
they don't get updated scores. They have to have official
627
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:38.089
scores from athletic directors and or coaches. Okay.
628
00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:41.210
And some are faster than others. Right.
629
00:31:41.490 --> 00:31:43.009
And so that delays everything.
630
00:31:43.849 --> 00:31:46.900
Because they're not going to post anything unless they have
631
00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:51.920
an official score. Okay. So that's something to keep in mind.
632
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:55.789
It's just, you know, that could delay the PSR. So
633
00:31:55.829 --> 00:31:57.190
if you go on Friday night and see where your
634
00:31:57.210 --> 00:31:58.950
team is, you're probably not going to have an updated
635
00:31:58.990 --> 00:31:59.450
version of it.
636
00:32:00.210 --> 00:32:03.210
Field, that thing might have been updated three times today.
637
00:32:03.670 --> 00:32:04.900
It just got updated at 6-21.
638
00:32:04.890 --> 00:32:11.539
Again. Yeah, for you guys, again, the problem is coaches
639
00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:15.940
are sending in updated scores, and so that happens all
640
00:32:16.059 --> 00:32:18.240
throughout the week, believe it or not. It's not all
641
00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:21.079
happening like on Saturday or Sunday, and that's coming into
642
00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:25.140
the GHSA. So, okay, let's look at.
643
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:27.799
Some of these others. So some fans are upset. It's like,
644
00:32:28.180 --> 00:32:30.480
how come they don't update them fast enough? It's like, guys,
645
00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:34.789
they play the games on Fridays. They're going home. They're
646
00:32:34.809 --> 00:32:37.349
tired just like you are. They're taking a day off
647
00:32:37.450 --> 00:32:40.509
on Saturday. They're getting back at it on Sunday,
doing
648
00:32:40.549 --> 00:32:44.849
their game planning for the week. And it's okay to
649
00:32:44.890 --> 00:32:49.059
wait until Monday to have this thing updated. Yeah, absolutely.
650
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:52.099
Okay, so Milton beats John Creek.
651
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:54.140
Now, remember, we've got a lot of these games, teams
652
00:32:54.940 --> 00:32:59.380
are just entering the region portion of their schedule. Remember, though, guys,
653
00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:02.339
I've got to remind everybody, because I'm catching myself in
654
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:06.380
this same trap. Remember now, the regions are not the
655
00:33:06.460 --> 00:33:10.099
first to top four in the playoffs anymore. Your region
656
00:33:10.140 --> 00:33:15.059
champion will automatically get in, of course. But Larry, other
657
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:18.700
than that, there really is no guarantee that you may
658
00:33:18.740 --> 00:33:21.769
not have more than one other than the region champion.
659
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:24.109
You may not have anybody in your region except the
660
00:33:24.130 --> 00:33:25.309
region champion make the playoffs.
661
00:33:26.190 --> 00:33:30.430
Phil, here's the thing that might catch some fans by
662
00:33:30.470 --> 00:33:35.390
surprise at the end of the season. You could have
663
00:33:35.509 --> 00:33:39.089
a team that is number 31 or 32 in the
664
00:33:39.130 --> 00:33:44.460
state not make the playoffs. It's like, Larry, how is that? Well,
665
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:49.960
here's how. The only guarantee is if you win your region,
666
00:33:50.819 --> 00:33:55.539
you're going to be in. You could have a 3-7 record,
667
00:33:55.619 --> 00:33:58.329
and if you win your region, you're going to be in.
668
00:33:59.049 --> 00:34:00.329
That's the only guarantee.
669
00:34:00.349 --> 00:34:01.190
Yeah.
670
00:34:02.130 --> 00:34:05.950
Furthermore, if you win your region, you're guaranteed a spot
671
00:34:06.150 --> 00:34:10.809
in the top 16. So you're hosting a first-round playoff.
672
00:34:11.690 --> 00:34:15.369
So how does that affect some of those lower-seeded teams,
673
00:34:15.369 --> 00:34:18.949
31 and 32? Well, if one of those teams that
674
00:34:19.010 --> 00:34:22.650
wins the region was not in the first 32, by
675
00:34:22.869 --> 00:34:25.400
jumping over these other teams, they're going to knock a
676
00:34:25.429 --> 00:34:28.960
couple teams out. That's how it could happen. Okay.
677
00:34:28.980 --> 00:34:30.599
Now, that's interesting.
678
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:31.239
Yeah.
679
00:34:32.300 --> 00:34:33.539
Very interesting.
680
00:34:33.559 --> 00:34:38.690
Okay, so Gainesville. Gainesville wins. Roswell, who I've talked about,
681
00:34:38.769 --> 00:34:43.389
Roswell wins. They beat Lanier. There's a couple of teams
682
00:34:43.429 --> 00:34:45.269
that are kind of on the bubble for me. And
683
00:34:45.309 --> 00:34:50.900
let me tell you what I'm talking about there. Langston Hughes, okay.
684
00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:53.119
I don't really know what to think about Langston Hughes.
685
00:34:53.619 --> 00:34:58.460
Douglas County, really not sold on them yet as well.
686
00:34:58.949 --> 00:35:01.710
I think you've got some up-and-coming teams that could change
687
00:35:01.769 --> 00:35:05.510
the scope in Class 7A. And by that, I mean
688
00:35:05.530 --> 00:35:07.900
you've got, of course, hold on.
689
00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:10.739
Just a second.
690
00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:14.340
You've got North Cobb, who's very quietly starting to sneak
691
00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:18.420
back into the overall playoff picture. Yeah.
692
00:35:19.579 --> 00:35:21.739
Well, Phil, you called it on Douglas County. A lot
693
00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:23.900
of people were high on Douglas County because of what
694
00:35:23.940 --> 00:35:25.900
they'd been able to do the last couple years. But
695
00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:29.099
you said they lost a lot of talent. And so
696
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:31.019
they're going to go through some growing pains this year,
697
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:33.760
and that's exactly what's happening. They're sitting here at 3-2 now.
698
00:35:34.699 --> 00:35:36.360
Yep, exactly. And that's what I mean.
699
00:35:36.380 --> 00:35:37.619
You've got a lot of these teams that are kind
700
00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:38.409
of on the cusp.
701
00:35:38.469 --> 00:35:41.949
You know, you've got Brookwood that is making a resurgence
702
00:35:42.050 --> 00:35:44.989
in 7A. You've got Westlake. You know, you thought that
703
00:35:45.050 --> 00:35:48.969
Westlake was almost gone. You know, they're 5-0.
704
00:35:49.329 --> 00:35:50.409
I'm still not.
705
00:35:50.309 --> 00:35:52.610
Sure if they're the Westlake of old, but we'll see.
706
00:35:53.550 --> 00:35:56.369
Colquitt County. How about Colquitt County just kind of hanging around?
707
00:35:56.710 --> 00:35:59.409
But we're going to see just exactly how good Sean
708
00:35:59.449 --> 00:36:03.849
Calhoun's team is once region play begins. I know it's
709
00:36:03.929 --> 00:36:06.070
not quite as important as it always has been in
710
00:36:06.090 --> 00:36:07.969
the past. But, Larry, how do you think– you know,
711
00:36:07.989 --> 00:36:10.449
we talked about this in the very beginning. And I
712
00:36:10.489 --> 00:36:13.619
want to get everybody else's opinion on this. We talked
713
00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:15.619
about it at the start of the season about 1-7-8.
714
00:36:15.619 --> 00:36:20.900
We were critiquing 1-7-8. I talked about Camden County. Well,
715
00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:26.179
I was probably wrong, you know, with all due respect.
716
00:36:26.690 --> 00:36:29.510
I just think that Tucker Pruitt, this is a transition
717
00:36:29.530 --> 00:36:32.170
year for Tucker Pruitt, so I don't think they're going
718
00:36:32.190 --> 00:36:33.909
to be as strong as I thought they would. But
719
00:36:34.269 --> 00:36:37.349
outside of Camden, are you making it to Camden
if
720
00:36:37.369 --> 00:36:39.769
you want to? Who do you see as the real
721
00:36:39.829 --> 00:36:40.829
contenders in this region?
722
00:36:42.739 --> 00:36:45.539
You're asking me? Yeah. Who do I see as the
723
00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:51.260
real contenders in this region? With five weeks into this thing.
724
00:36:51.820 --> 00:36:52.519
Greg, I'm going to come back.
725
00:36:52.539 --> 00:36:53.760
Greg Handel, I'm going to come back to your comment,
726
00:36:53.780 --> 00:36:54.219
by the way.
727
00:36:54.260 --> 00:36:54.539
Hang on.
728
00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:59.880
It's still the big three. right? Valdosta is probably the
729
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:04.260
favorite right now. Lowndes is a close second, and then
730
00:37:04.340 --> 00:37:08.190
Colquitt is a close third. Now, we'll see after the
731
00:37:08.329 --> 00:37:12.789
first region game, because none of us play each other. Well,
732
00:37:12.849 --> 00:37:16.150
I know. I think Colquitt and Valdosta play in a
733
00:37:16.170 --> 00:37:18.090
couple of weeks, right? GPP is supposed to be there
734
00:37:18.110 --> 00:37:21.380
in Moultrie for that game. That is correct. So we'll
735
00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:24.820
see in a hurry once region play starts. But the
736
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:29.210
surprise to me so far out of this region is
737
00:37:29.630 --> 00:37:32.650
how some of our teams got it wrong when it
738
00:37:32.690 --> 00:37:36.889
comes to PSR scheduling. That's the biggest surprise to me.
739
00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:44.059
Well, but, Larry, is it a surprise?
740
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:45.400
It is.
741
00:37:47.460 --> 00:37:51.699
But, see, I'm not surprised because, Larry, I don't think
742
00:37:51.989 --> 00:37:54.409
anybody– and I'm talking about the state is full of
743
00:37:54.530 --> 00:37:58.989
really smart coaches– Let me say it this way. Okay.
744
00:37:59.590 --> 00:38:04.969
There's a lot of really good coaches in this state. Agree? Sure. Yeah.
745
00:38:04.989 --> 00:38:07.550
But I think when it comes to the PSR, it
746
00:38:07.590 --> 00:38:11.530
was the great unknown. I don't think there were any real,
747
00:38:11.780 --> 00:38:14.909
I don't think many coaches and athletic directors for that,
748
00:38:15.050 --> 00:38:18.719
for that, as far as that goes, I don't think
749
00:38:18.940 --> 00:38:20.840
any of us really, and I even kept me in
750
00:38:20.860 --> 00:38:22.960
that conversation. So that's why I don't know if your
751
00:38:22.980 --> 00:38:25.829
comment is fair. I don't think anybody really had a
752
00:38:25.889 --> 00:38:30.989
true master, a real hand on how to best take
753
00:38:31.010 --> 00:38:34.320
advantage of scheduling as it affects your PSR.
754
00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:39.619
Well, they just didn't listen to either this show or
755
00:38:39.659 --> 00:38:42.139
my show because I explained.
756
00:38:41.659 --> 00:38:45.369
It to them. Well, you know, that's pretty good. So,
757
00:38:45.389 --> 00:38:47.889
I mean, you look at, you know, look at, you know,
758
00:38:47.929 --> 00:38:49.989
Brian Applin, for example. Yeah. Okay.
759
00:38:50.550 --> 00:38:51.250
Now, look.
760
00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:54.460
Brian Appling and Buford are going to play the best
761
00:38:54.500 --> 00:38:58.619
of the best. That's what really good teams do. Well, unfortunately,
762
00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:01.980
they're now suffering because of it. But a lot of
763
00:39:02.019 --> 00:39:07.099
that has come from their opponents not playing up to
764
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:07.820
their potential.
765
00:39:09.420 --> 00:39:17.679
Well, yes and no. Buford is being hurt by a
766
00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:18.360
couple of things.
767
00:39:19.590 --> 00:39:22.550
By the way, where did Kerry go? Where did Kerry
768
00:39:22.590 --> 00:39:24.510
and Big Buford go? Go ahead, Larry.
769
00:39:24.630 --> 00:39:25.630
I'm just kind of wondering if they ought to be
770
00:39:25.650 --> 00:39:26.409
in this conversation.
771
00:39:27.349 --> 00:39:29.889
So here's the thing about Buford. If you take a look.
772
00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:33.119
Buford is being hurt by a couple things. The one
773
00:39:33.139 --> 00:39:38.760
thing that sticks out to me is their opponent's winning percentage. Okay?
774
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:42.769
Their opponent's winning percentage collectively is at 40%.
775
00:39:42.769 --> 00:39:45.690
776
00:39:45.730 --> 00:39:47.010
Hold on. I'm sorry.
777
00:39:47.269 --> 00:39:49.090
You did not have my full attention. Can you start over?
778
00:39:49.110 --> 00:39:49.769
Okay.
779
00:39:50.380 --> 00:39:53.039
So Buford's being hurt by two things when it comes
780
00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:58.110
to the PSR. Okay. Okay. They're hurt, one, by their
781
00:39:58.190 --> 00:40:01.190
opponent's winning percentage. Remember, that's a third of the formula, right?
782
00:40:01.630 --> 00:40:01.789
Right.
783
00:40:01.829 --> 00:40:05.730
So their opponents collectively have a winning percentage of 40%.
784
00:40:05.730 --> 00:40:09.010
Well, that's what I meant when I said their opponents
785
00:40:09.030 --> 00:40:11.309
wasn't handling their, you know, holding up their end of
786
00:40:11.329 --> 00:40:11.750
the bargain.
787
00:40:12.110 --> 00:40:14.030
But here's a part two to that.
788
00:40:14.389 --> 00:40:14.639
Okay. Okay.
789
00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:18.800
They're also being hurt by their insistence on playing these
790
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:23.760
out-of-state opponents. Ah. Because they get the credit for the win,
791
00:40:24.260 --> 00:40:28.630
but they're– I shouldn't call them out-of-state opponents. They're non-GHSA opponents.
792
00:40:28.730 --> 00:40:29.610
Could be in-state.
793
00:40:30.070 --> 00:40:30.230
Yeah.
794
00:40:30.570 --> 00:40:34.349
Their non-GHSA opponents don't count in the other two-thirds of
795
00:40:34.389 --> 00:40:34.929
the formula.
796
00:40:35.670 --> 00:40:37.170
Yeah, that's a dagger there.
797
00:40:37.929 --> 00:40:41.050
Yeah. So that's why. So you could have a Mallard
798
00:40:41.070 --> 00:40:43.679
Creek that's tearing it up in the Carolinas, and you
799
00:40:43.719 --> 00:40:46.670
could have– Who else do they play, Carroll City or
800
00:40:46.730 --> 00:40:47.309
Miami Central?
801
00:40:47.769 --> 00:40:49.150
Yeah, well, who?
802
00:40:50.030 --> 00:40:50.369
Buford.
803
00:40:51.230 --> 00:40:54.150
Yeah, Miami Central, the Rockets.
804
00:40:54.329 --> 00:40:56.030
So Miami Central could be tearing it up in the
805
00:40:56.050 --> 00:40:58.949
state of Florida, but they don't get credit for how
806
00:40:58.989 --> 00:41:02.239
their opponents do unless they're a GHSA member.
807
00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:07.440
Interesting. Obadiah Farley wants to know, question for the podcast,
808
00:41:07.460 --> 00:41:09.260
Friday night, what team really impressed you?
809
00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:14.159
What was that? What did he ask?
810
00:41:14.739 --> 00:41:18.059
Obadiah Farley wants to know a question for us. Uh,
811
00:41:18.460 --> 00:41:22.699
let's meet you Friday night. What team really impressed you?
812
00:41:23.130 --> 00:41:27.349
Obviously TCC. I mean, I think that's obvious to everybody, um,
813
00:41:27.389 --> 00:41:32.570
because that was a really good quality opponent that TCC handled, but, uh,
814
00:41:32.969 --> 00:41:34.250
and you guys can answer this as well.
815
00:41:34.269 --> 00:41:35.050
Larry, what do you think?
816
00:41:37.170 --> 00:41:41.429
Uh, what team impressed me most this past Friday night?
817
00:41:41.849 --> 00:41:42.050
Yeah.
818
00:41:42.769 --> 00:41:48.590
Yeah. Um, other than, you know, obviously I'm going to
819
00:41:48.630 --> 00:41:50.750
say central first, and then I'm going to give a
820
00:41:50.769 --> 00:41:53.719
part two to this central, not the fact that they won.
821
00:41:53.739 --> 00:41:55.760
Cause I predicted they win. I just thought it would
822
00:41:55.800 --> 00:41:58.940
be a much closer margin, but the manner in which
823
00:41:59.019 --> 00:41:59.420
they won.
824
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:00.860
Okay.
825
00:42:01.019 --> 00:42:05.199
It was a total domination. Now Lee County had their shots,
826
00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:07.530
especially early in the game when they were trying to
827
00:42:07.619 --> 00:42:09.929
match score for score. And I think there was an
828
00:42:09.969 --> 00:42:12.710
occasion early in the game where Lee Canada was driving
829
00:42:12.769 --> 00:42:16.269
down deep in the red zone, had, Failed to score.
830
00:42:17.610 --> 00:42:21.590
Central took the ball over. Hit a deep pass, I think,
831
00:42:21.630 --> 00:42:25.409
for a touchdown. They got a ball again. McPherson does
832
00:42:25.670 --> 00:42:28.849
what McPherson does and has a big play. And then
833
00:42:28.929 --> 00:42:31.719
all of a sudden, you find yourself out of reach 28-6. Yep.
834
00:42:33.219 --> 00:42:35.260
So it just turned. I mean, the momentum of that
835
00:42:35.300 --> 00:42:39.989
game just swung so fast. And Central never gave it up.
836
00:42:40.579 --> 00:42:44.119
So that was an impressive thing as far as I'm concerned.
837
00:42:44.340 --> 00:42:46.860
And the other one was just Jeff Davis, I was
838
00:42:47.050 --> 00:42:50.929
really impressed by Jeff Davis. Now, I will tell you
839
00:42:50.969 --> 00:42:55.929
that if you are a Thomasville opponent, watch out for
840
00:42:55.969 --> 00:42:58.550
Thomasville this year. That was the first time I got
841
00:42:58.570 --> 00:43:01.670
to see them up close and personal. And I was
842
00:43:02.650 --> 00:43:05.719
really impressed by the athleticism of that team.
843
00:43:06.300 --> 00:43:07.090
They're playing really well.
844
00:43:07.110 --> 00:43:07.880
On both sides of the ball.
845
00:43:08.199 --> 00:43:08.360
Yep.
846
00:43:08.599 --> 00:43:11.679
Offensively and defensively. I mean, they have so much. You know,
847
00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:15.360
I like to brag about the– top teams like whether
848
00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:19.920
it's Buford or Valdosta, Lowndes, some of these other, even TCC,
849
00:43:20.039 --> 00:43:23.110
Lee County into that equation. The team speed for these
850
00:43:23.389 --> 00:43:27.429
upper class teams are so amazing, right? But the team
851
00:43:27.449 --> 00:43:31.090
speed for Thomasville across the board, offense and defense, was
852
00:43:31.190 --> 00:43:31.989
truly impressive.
853
00:43:33.010 --> 00:43:34.639
Agreed. All right.
854
00:43:34.780 --> 00:43:37.949
So let me talk about, you know, the classifications.
855
00:43:38.239 --> 00:43:41.570
So I really thought, by the way, Blessed Trinity is
856
00:43:41.769 --> 00:43:46.809
our number one team in 5A. They took on number three, Marist,
857
00:43:47.690 --> 00:43:54.949
a very, very good battle between two really good medium sized, well,
858
00:43:54.969 --> 00:43:58.380
let's just say Catholic Blue Bloods, Catholic School of Blue Bloods.
859
00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:03.460
And listen, don't let the Catholic fool you. These are good, tough,
860
00:44:03.920 --> 00:44:12.030
Good football teams. Blessed Trinity defeated Marist 17-14.
861
00:44:12.449 --> 00:44:12.650
Yeah.
862
00:44:12.750 --> 00:44:16.829
By the way, I had to beat Blessed Trinity winning 21-10.
863
00:44:17.170 --> 00:44:20.329
They went 17-14. By the way, Phil's picked six. I
864
00:44:20.369 --> 00:44:23.510
got five of the six teams right. But that was
865
00:44:23.570 --> 00:44:25.719
one of the games that was impressive. Let me ask
866
00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:33.480
you guys this. Benedictine defeated Richmond Academy 52-49. I really
867
00:44:33.539 --> 00:44:37.199
don't know much about Richmond Academy. Can somebody fill me in?
868
00:44:41.010 --> 00:44:45.190
I don't know anything about Richmond Academy. Are they from Augusta?
869
00:44:45.909 --> 00:44:48.070
That's what I was thinking. I think they are. Isn't
870
00:44:48.130 --> 00:44:51.070
it Richmond County?
I think so.
871
00:44:51.170 --> 00:44:53.389
I think so. Hey, can I answer a question?
872
00:44:53.949 --> 00:44:54.150
Yeah.
873
00:44:54.989 --> 00:45:01.340
So, Ken Washington, Larry Pope, Mac Foster, all these Valdosta
874
00:45:01.380 --> 00:45:06.730
fans want me to say it out loud. They're saying, hey,
875
00:45:06.769 --> 00:45:09.250
can you tell us who the number one seeded team
876
00:45:09.429 --> 00:45:13.750
in the PSR is this week for Class 7A? Valdosta.
877
00:45:14.090 --> 00:45:14.309
Yeah.
878
00:45:15.210 --> 00:45:20.860
You Wildcat fans, you happy? To illustrate our point, though,
879
00:45:21.260 --> 00:45:25.469
with the PSR, listen, Valdosta is 6-0. Lowndes is 5-0.
880
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:30.889
Buford is 5-0. But Valdosta is ranked number one as
881
00:45:30.929 --> 00:45:34.780
far as the PSR goes. Lowndes is number 12. Buford
882
00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:37.199
is number nine. Do you know what the difference is
883
00:45:37.500 --> 00:45:38.539
between these three teams?
884
00:45:39.139 --> 00:45:40.059
Well, it's the opponents.
885
00:45:40.400 --> 00:45:41.739
The opponents' winning percentage.
886
00:45:42.039 --> 00:45:42.199
Right.
887
00:45:42.219 --> 00:45:47.519
And Valdosta's opponents have about a 75% winning percentage. That's
888
00:45:47.619 --> 00:45:52.539
the difference. Right. Buford and Lowndes, their opponents' winning percentage
889
00:45:53.019 --> 00:45:54.889
is about 40%.
890
00:45:54.889 --> 00:45:57.360
Hey, listen, give credit where credit's due. I mean, you know,
891
00:45:57.679 --> 00:46:01.119
you schedule cupcakes, but they were good cupcakes. Yeah. It's
892
00:46:01.159 --> 00:46:04.579
kind of like a ding-dong. Okay.
893
00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:08.639
Now, no, get your head out of the gutter. Now,
894
00:46:08.719 --> 00:46:10.989
a ding-dong is a cupcake.
895
00:46:11.429 --> 00:46:11.630
Yeah.
896
00:46:12.150 --> 00:46:14.269
But it's a really good cupcake. I think it's the
897
00:46:14.349 --> 00:46:15.090
best of them all.
898
00:46:16.030 --> 00:46:21.650
Is that the... Yeah, so I always get confused.
899
00:46:22.210 --> 00:46:22.949
Well, let me help you out.
900
00:46:23.050 --> 00:46:25.550
Once the chocolate... It's these right here.
901
00:46:27.949 --> 00:46:28.630
Oh, yeah, yeah.
902
00:46:28.769 --> 00:46:30.239
I was thinking about the wrong one then.
903
00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:33.579
Phil's got, yes, I do have a carton of Ding Dong. Yes,
904
00:46:33.599 --> 00:46:35.019
I like a little treat every now and then.
905
00:46:35.780 --> 00:46:40.760
But those things are good. But what's my point? It's
906
00:46:40.800 --> 00:46:45.440
a cupcake. But, you know, at the end of the day,
907
00:46:45.860 --> 00:46:48.239
give credit where credit's due. About Austin, he nailed it.
908
00:46:48.909 --> 00:46:52.070
Like you said, he nailed it. He's got their undefeated.
909
00:46:52.570 --> 00:46:55.360
They got a good PSR. Be interesting to see. And
910
00:46:55.400 --> 00:46:58.059
I said it from the, from the beginning, I think
911
00:46:58.079 --> 00:47:00.159
about Asta, you know, we talked again, had these earlier
912
00:47:00.219 --> 00:47:02.380
conversations about who we thought was going to be there
913
00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:04.840
at the end. I still think about Asta as far
914
00:47:04.860 --> 00:47:10.150
as South Georgia goes, has got a great chance to represent, uh, the,
915
00:47:10.309 --> 00:47:12.070
you know, the region one, seven, eight.
916
00:47:12.750 --> 00:47:17.929
Um, I don't think there's a lot of separation right now. Lounds. Interesting.
917
00:47:17.949 --> 00:47:19.179
I like Lounds' defense.
918
00:47:20.039 --> 00:47:21.840
Um, It looks like.
919
00:47:21.739 --> 00:47:25.219
They're really– and, again, I talk to Coach Carter every week.
920
00:47:25.239 --> 00:47:28.030
We have the Lowndes High Coaches Show. And I really
921
00:47:28.119 --> 00:47:30.469
think Larry– and I know you're Lowndes. I think they're
922
00:47:30.610 --> 00:47:35.230
really protecting Jace, kind of holding him in reserve, getting
923
00:47:35.250 --> 00:47:35.710
him ready.
924
00:47:35.809 --> 00:47:38.510
They have. They've gone out of their way to do that. And,
925
00:47:38.570 --> 00:47:41.550
you know, against the opponents we've had so far, there
926
00:47:41.590 --> 00:47:45.050
was really no need, especially when he got hurt in
927
00:47:45.110 --> 00:47:48.889
game– I want to say game three, something like that,
928
00:47:49.010 --> 00:47:49.989
in the first half or something like that.
929
00:47:50.389 --> 00:47:50.630
Right.
930
00:47:50.650 --> 00:47:54.329
So he was fine for the next game, but to
931
00:47:54.369 --> 00:47:57.829
be cautious, right, and you didn't need him in there.
932
00:47:58.090 --> 00:48:01.469
Let's just hold him out and get him ready for
933
00:48:01.489 --> 00:48:01.989
region play.
934
00:48:02.469 --> 00:48:06.760
Chris Pace says hostess Susie Q's are better, Phil.
935
00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:11.360
Now, Chris, what are those? What are the Susie Q's?
936
00:48:11.380 --> 00:48:12.300
You ever had one of those, Larry?
937
00:48:13.900 --> 00:48:15.019
A Susie Q.
938
00:48:15.400 --> 00:48:18.460
That's what Chris Pace, our buddy, south and middle Georgia
939
00:48:18.480 --> 00:48:20.530
high school football, Facebook page.
940
00:48:20.570 --> 00:48:21.710
I'm not sure what that is.
941
00:48:22.090 --> 00:48:22.710
I don't either.
942
00:48:23.650 --> 00:48:27.730
So, Mac Foster corrected me. He says, LG, I'm not
943
00:48:27.750 --> 00:48:30.289
a Cat fan. I'm a Blue Devil fan. It's like,
944
00:48:30.409 --> 00:48:32.969
I stand corrected. Man, I didn't mean to cuss you
945
00:48:33.050 --> 00:48:35.380
out like that, Mac. Man, you're a Blue Devil fan.
946
00:48:35.440 --> 00:48:37.440
I get it, man. I wouldn't want to be called
947
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:39.079
a Cat fan if I'm not a Cat fan either.
948
00:48:39.960 --> 00:48:41.400
Wait a minute. Who did I
call a Cat fan?
949
00:48:41.860 --> 00:48:44.679
No, he said that I did. Oh, I got you.
950
00:48:44.699 --> 00:48:47.420
I lumped Mac in with Larry Pope and some of
951
00:48:47.440 --> 00:48:50.070
these other guys a while ago. I got you. So
952
00:48:50.130 --> 00:48:51.190
my apologies for that.
953
00:48:52.150 --> 00:48:54.289
Larry Pogue, speaking of Larry Pogue, Larry Pogue, big Val
954
00:48:54.389 --> 00:48:57.090
Austin man. He's a good buddy. He said, Phil, you
955
00:48:57.110 --> 00:49:01.210
have Newton as a top team, and them Trojans, they
956
00:49:01.250 --> 00:49:04.909
haven't played a soul. In fact, according to Max Preps,
957
00:49:04.949 --> 00:49:07.130
we all have the same strength of schedule. Keep that
958
00:49:07.210 --> 00:49:08.210
energy for everyone.
959
00:49:08.210 --> 00:49:10.789
Yeah, I think Newton.
960
00:49:10.090 --> 00:49:13.599
Is one of those. I think they are a very
961
00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:14.530
good team.
962
00:49:14.530 --> 00:49:16.780
They're very deserving of being top 10.
963
00:49:16.780 --> 00:49:20.079
Man, all these snacks we're talking about tonight. Chris Pace
964
00:49:20.139 --> 00:49:23.380
is right. I just Googled Susie Q's. They look delicious.
965
00:49:23.820 --> 00:49:24.420
What are they?
966
00:49:24.679 --> 00:49:25.860
Help me out.
967
00:49:27.670 --> 00:49:31.730
They're kind of like a longer version, almost like a
968
00:49:32.210 --> 00:49:35.690
hot dog looking thing with cream in the middle of it. Oh, really? Yeah.
969
00:49:36.070 --> 00:49:36.789
I mean, they look delicious.
970
00:49:36.809 --> 00:49:38.429
Okay. Oh, yeah, man.
971
00:49:38.449 --> 00:49:39.219
I'm going to tell you this.
972
00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:41.420
Ding-dongs are hard to beat, boy.
973
00:49:41.579 --> 00:49:45.239
And then when you brought up Newton a while ago,
974
00:49:45.400 --> 00:49:47.300
I automatically thought of Fig Newtons.
975
00:49:47.880 --> 00:49:50.420
I knew it. I knew you were going to go there. Now,
976
00:49:50.480 --> 00:49:52.429
that's a good old standby, isn't it?
977
00:49:52.900 --> 00:49:55.199
It really is, man. I love some Fig Newtons, boy.
978
00:49:55.800 --> 00:49:56.920
Jamie Fraley Seeger.
979
00:49:56.960 --> 00:49:58.840
Now, I knew she had to check in here because
980
00:49:58.900 --> 00:50:06.340
Jamie is going to ruin these big factory manufactured snacks.
981
00:50:06.989 --> 00:50:12.389
with some good old Southern-loving homemade ingredients. I bet you
982
00:50:12.429 --> 00:50:17.000
Jamie Fraley Sager is not going to the supermarket and
983
00:50:17.059 --> 00:50:22.579
buying any of these. Jamie Fraley Sager, no, is making,
984
00:50:22.699 --> 00:50:27.320
she's breaking out the flour and the sugar and all
985
00:50:27.389 --> 00:50:32.110
the other concoctions that make up good snack cakes.
986
00:50:32.369 --> 00:50:35.170
Is that your go-to snack, Phil? Yeah. When you've got
987
00:50:35.190 --> 00:50:36.449
to have a snack, is that your go-to?
988
00:50:36.940 --> 00:50:38.280
A hundred percent. Yeah.
989
00:50:39.099 --> 00:50:40.199
Modern honey buns, man.
990
00:50:41.400 --> 00:50:42.599
See, it's just too easy.
991
00:50:43.019 --> 00:50:46.420
I love honey buns, especially the giant frosted honey buns.
992
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:47.260
You like those?
993
00:50:47.699 --> 00:50:48.460
Oh my gosh.
994
00:50:48.480 --> 00:50:50.780
Yeah. Gosh, we're going to lose everybody. I don't know
995
00:50:50.840 --> 00:50:52.630
if people may like to talk food. I don't know.
996
00:50:52.650 --> 00:50:55.650
We've got to make some football, but Jamie Fraley Seeger,
997
00:50:55.670 --> 00:50:58.269
she says my chocolate cupcakes are better. I would like
998
00:50:58.309 --> 00:51:01.329
to know how you make those Jamie. And does anybody
999
00:51:01.389 --> 00:51:02.989
else do any kind of homemade desserts?
1000
00:51:03.570 --> 00:51:04.250
I will say this.
1001
00:51:05.199 --> 00:51:07.619
There's a dessert where I get my coffee every morning.
1002
00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:11.739
Now they call it an ooey gooey something, but it's
1003
00:51:11.800 --> 00:51:14.409
a red velvet cake. And I'm not a big fan
1004
00:51:14.449 --> 00:51:17.030
of red velvet cakes by themselves, but this is a
1005
00:51:17.150 --> 00:51:22.030
red velvet cake with like a topping of some kind.
1006
00:51:22.050 --> 00:51:23.469
It's like a golden topping.
1007
00:51:23.610 --> 00:51:26.329
I don't know what it is, but I have to,
1008
00:51:26.670 --> 00:51:28.610
I tell them to hide them for me when I
1009
00:51:28.630 --> 00:51:30.849
come in and get a cup of coffee. Let's get
1010
00:51:30.869 --> 00:51:32.510
back to football. I don't want to lose everybody.
1011
00:51:32.849 --> 00:51:34.489
I got everybody talking snacks now.
1012
00:51:35.280 --> 00:51:38.320
Brian Jones. What's up, Phil, from Beach County? What's up, Brian?
1013
00:51:38.340 --> 00:51:41.159
What's happening, brother? I want to go back. LG knows
1014
00:51:41.199 --> 00:51:41.590
some good.
1015
00:51:41.829 --> 00:51:42.329
It's a big.
1016
00:51:42.349 --> 00:51:45.849
Remember the commercial? It's a big fig Newton. And they
1017
00:51:45.869 --> 00:51:47.190
had the big fig Newton running around.
1018
00:51:47.210 --> 00:51:47.670
You remember that?
1019
00:51:48.070 --> 00:51:50.010
And they have different flavors of fig Newtons now.
1020
00:51:50.449 --> 00:51:51.190
Oh, I didn't know that.
1021
00:51:51.610 --> 00:51:52.300
Oh, my gosh.
1022
00:51:52.340 --> 00:51:52.590
Yeah.
1023
00:51:53.050 --> 00:51:56.099
I like the apple fig Newtons. Fantastic.
1024
00:51:57.449 --> 00:52:00.750
Let's see, Gabe Garrett. Glad I'm watching and not just
1025
00:52:00.809 --> 00:52:04.789
listening to the show. Mike wanted to add hostess before ding-dongs.
1026
00:52:04.869 --> 00:52:06.219
I love it.
1027
00:52:06.369 --> 00:52:09.389
Phil, do you know who the number one team is
1028
00:52:09.449 --> 00:52:11.809
in Class 6A when it comes
to the PSR?
1029
00:52:14.090 --> 00:52:14.610
Hold on a second.
1030
00:52:14.739 --> 00:52:15.719
It's Jackson County.
1031
00:52:16.199 --> 00:52:17.010
Jackson County.
1032
00:52:17.489 --> 00:52:17.639
Yeah.
1033
00:52:18.199 --> 00:52:18.409
Yeah.
1034
00:52:19.780 --> 00:52:25.599
Now, listen, they gained notoriety when they upset Milton in
1035
00:52:25.619 --> 00:52:26.699
the playoffs last year, right?
1036
00:52:27.800 --> 00:52:27.949
Okay.
1037
00:52:28.949 --> 00:52:34.360
And then in the all season, they get the quarterback from, uh,
1038
00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:35.480
is it North cop Christian?
1039
00:52:37.460 --> 00:52:38.360
Somebody help me out here.
1040
00:52:39.639 --> 00:52:42.179
Yeah, I believe that's right. Now here's the, here's the,
1041
00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:45.480
here's the interesting thing. And, and you guys are going
1042
00:52:45.500 --> 00:52:49.019
to have to help me out. So I believe the
1043
00:52:49.079 --> 00:52:52.420
quarterback from North cop Christian, I had him as a
1044
00:52:52.460 --> 00:52:56.019
preseason top 10 quarterback in the state of Georgia. He
1045
00:52:56.059 --> 00:52:58.110
goes to Jackson County, Right?
1046
00:52:59.230 --> 00:53:01.429
And then Ben Musser.
1047
00:53:02.469 --> 00:53:03.010
That's his name.
1048
00:53:04.199 --> 00:53:04.840
Ben Musser.
1049
00:53:05.460 --> 00:53:07.920
Now, wait a minute. He came from Prince Avenue Christian,
1050
00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:14.280
didn't he? I'm getting all mixed up. Somebody's going to
1051
00:53:14.320 --> 00:53:17.190
tell me. Ben Musser came from Prince Avenue Christian, transferred
1052
00:53:17.230 --> 00:53:18.570
to Jackson County. That's what it was.
1053
00:53:19.389 --> 00:53:20.789
Can somebody clarify that for me?
1054
00:53:24.090 --> 00:53:27.329
But then you've got Last year's quarterback, remember last year's
1055
00:53:27.349 --> 00:53:31.880
quarterback at Milton? Ben, I don't know if you pronounce
1056
00:53:31.929 --> 00:53:36.679
it Hal-a-vi or Hal-a-vi. Remember, he's the one that stood
1057
00:53:36.719 --> 00:53:38.699
in for Derrick Baker at Milton last year.
1058
00:53:39.099 --> 00:53:40.880
Oh, that's right. Yeah, he did a great job, too.
1059
00:53:41.039 --> 00:53:41.960
He really did.
1060
00:53:42.039 --> 00:53:45.280
Now, he's the quarterback at North Cobb.
1061
00:53:49.840 --> 00:53:53.260
Okay, let's get back to talking football. All right, Greg
1062
00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:55.630
Hackle says, quarterback is from Prince Avenue.
1063
00:53:55.650 --> 00:53:55.969
That's right.
1064
00:53:55.989 --> 00:53:57.349
That's what I thought.
1065
00:53:57.369 --> 00:53:59.389
Richard Lewis is still wanting to talk snack cakes. He says,
1066
00:53:59.409 --> 00:54:02.090
take a little dibby bun, set it in on your dash,
1067
00:54:02.130 --> 00:54:03.659
and let it warm up. Get beat it.
1068
00:54:03.849 --> 00:54:06.360
Yeah, Larry's the honey bun. I'm not big on honey bun.
1069
00:54:06.699 --> 00:54:11.739
I just think it's too plain. What? Yes, it's bread and,
1070
00:54:11.920 --> 00:54:12.559
you know, sugar.
1071
00:54:13.719 --> 00:54:14.480
Yeah, I don't know.
1072
00:54:15.380 --> 00:54:18.090
Stephen K. Wynn. Oh, listen, I'm going to test something here.
1073
00:54:18.920 --> 00:54:22.739
Stephen K. Wynn says my wife's pound cake is my best,
1074
00:54:23.300 --> 00:54:28.280
and I know what he's talking about. When we streamed
1075
00:54:28.300 --> 00:54:31.309
the Lee County Warner Robins game, I think it was
1076
00:54:31.349 --> 00:54:34.969
two or three years ago, I am met in the
1077
00:54:35.010 --> 00:54:41.750
stands by this strapping, good-looking gentleman, okay, and he's sitting
1078
00:54:41.769 --> 00:54:45.690
there holding a cake. He's sitting there holding the canister.
1079
00:54:46.230 --> 00:54:46.349
Yeah.
1080
00:54:46.369 --> 00:54:50.429
You know what I mean? And I'm thinking, who is
1081
00:54:50.449 --> 00:54:56.449
this guy? And it's Stephen K. Wynn introducing himself and
1082
00:54:56.679 --> 00:55:02.800
absolutely knowing how to get to me. He presents me
1083
00:55:02.860 --> 00:55:08.550
with his wife's pound cake, which is absolutely out of sight.
1084
00:55:08.769 --> 00:55:09.789
We got to get back to talking about high school
1085
00:55:09.809 --> 00:55:11.909
football or everybody's going to leave us.
1086
00:55:11.929 --> 00:55:12.690
I keep saying that.
1087
00:55:12.710 --> 00:55:13.070
Yeah.
1088
00:55:15.230 --> 00:55:17.510
All right, we had somebody that commented earlier. I want
1089
00:55:17.530 --> 00:55:27.409
to go back to these real quick. Hold on a second.
1090
00:55:27.670 --> 00:55:32.230
Eric Evans checking in from Ohio. Eric was checking in
1091
00:55:32.269 --> 00:55:35.030
from Ohio. Eric, I'm trying to get back to your–
1092
00:55:35.369 --> 00:55:37.909
there it is. Hey, Phil and the gang checking in
1093
00:55:37.949 --> 00:55:40.969
from Columbus, Ohio. I always want to make sure I
1094
00:55:40.989 --> 00:55:44.230
get those guys in. Eric Evans, what's up, brother? What's
1095
00:55:44.250 --> 00:55:45.510
happening in Columbus, Ohio?
1096
00:55:45.570 --> 00:55:48.730
Glad to have you checking in as we are everybody else.
1097
00:55:49.690 --> 00:55:50.110
John D.
1098
00:55:50.170 --> 00:55:52.670
Williams says, where do you put TCC in the nation?
1099
00:55:54.130 --> 00:55:55.050
I'll tell you this.
1100
00:55:56.590 --> 00:56:00.510
Listen, I have a confession to make. Where's the priest at?
1101
00:56:02.760 --> 00:56:05.760
Confession time. I'm not Catholic. Never mind.
1102
00:56:05.780 --> 00:56:08.800
So I have a confession to make.
1103
00:56:09.690 --> 00:56:13.110
We do, in addition to our top 10 by classification,
1104
00:56:14.989 --> 00:56:20.570
we do an overall top 15, all classification. Okay?
1105
00:56:22.489 --> 00:56:26.650
I almost pulled the trigger on that. That's a bad analogy.
1106
00:56:26.670 --> 00:56:35.019
I'm sorry. I almost took TCC
as the top team
1107
00:56:35.039 --> 00:56:35.420
in the state.
1108
00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:39.460
Almost did it. What do you think, Larry?
1109
00:56:40.739 --> 00:56:45.500
Okay, so to answer that question, whenever I say, whenever
1110
00:56:45.559 --> 00:56:50.849
you say or anyone says Team X is in the
1111
00:56:50.949 --> 00:56:54.429
top five of the nation or in the top five
1112
00:56:54.449 --> 00:56:57.210
of Class 7A or whatever, so you always have to
1113
00:56:57.250 --> 00:57:01.610
go back and look at who's in the top five
1114
00:57:01.650 --> 00:57:03.940
of 7A or who's in the top five of the
1115
00:57:03.980 --> 00:57:09.030
nation currently and then ask the magical question, is Team X...
1116
00:57:09.579 --> 00:57:14.320
better than the current top five. So in order to
1117
00:57:14.360 --> 00:57:16.119
be in the top five, you've got to displace someone
1118
00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:18.619
in the current top five, right? So are they better?
1119
00:57:18.639 --> 00:57:19.840
So I went back and looked.
1120
00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:20.840
You're right.
1121
00:57:21.260 --> 00:57:25.170
I go and look at the Max Preps rankings. They're
1122
00:57:25.190 --> 00:57:28.610
probably the most reliable, been around forever. You also look
1123
00:57:28.650 --> 00:57:32.130
at Jeff Fisher's High School Football America and Joe Mamone's poll,
1124
00:57:32.929 --> 00:57:35.469
but they're going to be similar. So Max Preps has
1125
00:57:35.510 --> 00:57:43.110
got these five teams in the nation. St. Thomas Aquinas, St.
1126
00:57:43.250 --> 00:57:48.050
Francis Academy out of Maryland, IMG Academy, Santa Margarita out
1127
00:57:48.070 --> 00:57:52.570
of California, and none other than Buford rounding out the
1128
00:57:52.610 --> 00:57:55.949
top five. So is Central better than any of those
1129
00:57:56.349 --> 00:57:57.309
in the current top five?
1130
00:58:00.070 --> 00:58:04.070
Well, it goes back to our, again, it goes back
1131
00:58:04.760 --> 00:58:07.800
to our first thing we said was, oh, do we
1132
00:58:07.980 --> 00:58:11.949
really know Unless we have some head-to-head. Let me add this.
1133
00:58:12.429 --> 00:58:16.210
Let me add this. What do all those teams you
1134
00:58:16.250 --> 00:58:18.630
just talked about have in common?
1135
00:58:19.489 --> 00:58:20.610
Blue chip move-ins.
1136
00:58:23.820 --> 00:58:24.539
Exactly what I.
1137
00:58:24.500 --> 00:58:29.260
Was looking for. But anyway, they're all big name recognition.
1138
00:58:29.719 --> 00:58:33.559
When you say any of those teams, it's instant. We
1139
00:58:33.579 --> 00:58:37.139
don't have to say who, right? There?
1140
00:58:37.739 --> 00:58:38.610
Yeah, I agree.
1141
00:58:39.920 --> 00:58:41.679
And I think it's anybody in the country that knows
1142
00:58:41.719 --> 00:58:44.099
high school football. I think right now, if you were
1143
00:58:44.119 --> 00:58:46.280
to say, and I'm not saying this is fair. I'm
1144
00:58:46.320 --> 00:58:49.719
just saying, if you were to say, and we should
1145
00:58:49.760 --> 00:58:52.710
maybe think about including Thomas County Central in that conversation,
1146
00:58:53.289 --> 00:58:55.969
you're going to have over half the people say, who?
1147
00:58:57.530 --> 00:59:01.349
And I don't think that's fair because, again, personally, and
1148
00:59:01.369 --> 00:59:04.510
I've been saying this all along, I would really like
1149
00:59:04.550 --> 00:59:08.190
to see Thomas County Central go play in one of these, like,
1150
00:59:09.010 --> 00:59:12.199
Interstate matchup. like we've had on these other teams. That's
1151
00:59:12.300 --> 00:59:16.920
what it's time for. Because I really like TCC against
1152
00:59:17.059 --> 00:59:18.039
almost anybody.
1153
00:59:18.599 --> 00:59:20.619
Yeah. Give him something to drink.
1154
00:59:20.659 --> 00:59:21.280
Keep talking, Larry.
1155
00:59:21.820 --> 00:59:24.510
So if Central– guys, here's really what it comes down to.
1156
00:59:27.469 --> 00:59:33.519
If Central– wants to be a national brand. I don't
1157
00:59:33.559 --> 00:59:35.179
know if they want to be or not. I don't
1158
00:59:35.199 --> 00:59:38.219
know if that's what Justin Rogers' goal is, to put
1159
00:59:38.280 --> 00:59:40.300
Central in there in the conversation with the tops in
1160
00:59:40.320 --> 00:59:42.599
the nation. I don't know. Maybe that's his goal. Maybe
1161
00:59:42.619 --> 00:59:45.239
I haven't heard him say it. But let's assume for
1162
00:59:45.260 --> 00:59:49.300
a second that that's what they want to accomplish. I've
1163
00:59:49.340 --> 00:59:54.750
talked to three top pollsters, Jeff Fisher, Joe Mamone, and
1164
00:59:54.809 --> 00:59:57.650
Zach Poff for three straight years, and I ask them
1165
00:59:57.670 --> 01:00:00.989
this every season when we do this preseason ranking. I
1166
01:00:01.349 --> 01:00:03.550
ask all three of them point blank, what does it
1167
01:00:03.610 --> 01:00:08.400
take for a team to be recognized in the national conversation,
1168
01:00:09.260 --> 01:00:11.920
much less in the top five of the nation? And
1169
01:00:11.960 --> 01:00:15.019
here's what they all three say. You've got to win
1170
01:00:15.059 --> 01:00:18.360
your state. That's number one. Then you've got to play
1171
01:00:18.550 --> 01:00:24.010
at least a top-tier out-of-state opponent and beat them. That's
1172
01:00:24.050 --> 01:00:27.239
number two. Number three is do it consistently. Do those
1173
01:00:27.320 --> 01:00:30.489
first two things consistently, and then you start to be
1174
01:00:31.610 --> 01:00:35.449
inserted into the national conversation. That's what it takes. So
1175
01:00:35.469 --> 01:00:38.329
when you take a look at St. Thomas Aquinas and
1176
01:00:38.489 --> 01:00:43.329
IMG Academy, they're household names. Why? Because they take on
1177
01:00:43.369 --> 01:00:48.730
these top-tier out-of-state opponents, and they win their state, and
1178
01:00:48.750 --> 01:00:51.170
they do it
consistently. And so if you want to
1179
01:00:51.190 --> 01:00:54.789
be in the I remember when Jamie DuBose was at
1180
01:00:54.849 --> 01:00:59.679
Lowndes Field. I asked him back then, do you want
1181
01:00:59.760 --> 01:01:03.380
Lowndes to become a national brand? And he said yes,
1182
01:01:03.519 --> 01:01:06.059
and that's why he went out and scheduled some of
1183
01:01:06.079 --> 01:01:10.380
these out-of-state opponents the way that he did. I don't
1184
01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:13.179
know if you remember that. We played Miami Northwestern and
1185
01:01:13.219 --> 01:01:17.559
beat them. We played American Heritage. Didn't have any success
1186
01:01:17.619 --> 01:01:20.940
against them, but that was his goal. is to make
1187
01:01:21.059 --> 01:01:22.820
lounge into a national brand. That's why I was so
1188
01:01:22.860 --> 01:01:25.000
disappointed when, when he left the program, when he did,
1189
01:01:25.079 --> 01:01:27.699
cause I think he was, he wanted to get lounge
1190
01:01:27.860 --> 01:01:30.949
up there elevated, but that's not what some coaches want
1191
01:01:30.989 --> 01:01:34.150
for their programs. But if you do want that, that's
1192
01:01:34.190 --> 01:01:36.130
the formula according to the national pollsters.
1193
01:01:39.849 --> 01:01:40.190
Okay.
1194
01:01:40.750 --> 01:01:44.670
Um, Mac Foster jr. I, by the way, I see
1195
01:01:45.630 --> 01:01:46.349
your question.
1196
01:01:46.650 --> 01:01:50.429
Um, Wanted me to ask Tip County's head football coach tomorrow,
1197
01:01:50.449 --> 01:01:54.230
Jeff Littleton, in our coaches show. Okay, so somebody's got
1198
01:01:54.269 --> 01:01:56.389
a point. Somebody's got a problem with me about having
1199
01:01:56.469 --> 01:01:57.909
Newton ranked as a top 10 team.
1200
01:01:58.369 --> 01:01:58.610
Sure.
1201
01:01:59.469 --> 01:02:01.960
Who is that? Is that Larry Pope? Larry Pope says,
1202
01:02:02.019 --> 01:02:05.179
explain how you have taught Newton as a top team
1203
01:02:05.219 --> 01:02:10.039
if they haven't played anyone. Okay, let me go to this.
1204
01:02:10.420 --> 01:02:16.579
Now, I don't. I can answer that question for you. Okay.
1205
01:02:17.179 --> 01:02:18.599
So here's how they're.
1206
01:02:18.599 --> 01:02:20.920
In the top ten. By the way, I want to say, Larry,
1207
01:02:21.079 --> 01:02:24.840
by the way, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has Newton fourth. So
1208
01:02:24.860 --> 01:02:26.760
they actually have him ranked higher than I do. So,
1209
01:02:26.860 --> 01:02:29.130
you know, there's something to be said for great minds
1210
01:02:29.170 --> 01:02:30.809
thinking alike. But, Larry, go ahead.
1211
01:02:30.849 --> 01:02:34.150
Larry Godwin is going to answer, I'm assuming, the question
1212
01:02:34.309 --> 01:02:34.809
from Larry Pope.
1213
01:02:35.909 --> 01:02:38.530
Yeah, so the question is, how is Newton in the
1214
01:02:40.429 --> 01:02:41.989
top of the rankings? Is that what he's asking?
1215
01:02:42.010
--> 01:02:45.260
Top ten. How are they a top ten team? I
1216
01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:46.340
ain't promised without looking.
1217
01:02:47.230 --> 01:02:47.449
Listen.
1218
01:02:47.469 --> 01:02:49.989
They haven't played the same schedule that your team has, Larry.
1219
01:02:50.550 --> 01:02:53.510
Well, one is they're undefeated like a lot of teams,
1220
01:02:53.530 --> 01:02:56.349
like Valdosta, Lounson. But take a look at who they've played.
1221
01:02:56.769 --> 01:02:59.829
I don't agree with this. If a comment– I can't
1222
01:02:59.849 --> 01:03:02.110
remember what he said. But if a comment is, Newton
1223
01:03:02.139 --> 01:03:03.780
hadn't played anybody, let's take a look at who they've played.
1224
01:03:03.800 --> 01:03:04.539
That's what he said, yeah.
1225
01:03:04.920 --> 01:03:06.199
Yeah. Roswell?
1226
01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:09.619
Okay, stop. Yeah, stop, stop.
1227
01:03:09.780 --> 01:03:12.420
I mean, right– come on, Larry. Pope.
1228
01:03:12.440 --> 01:03:14.059
Yeah.
1229
01:03:14.690 --> 01:03:17.260
Warner Robins is 4-1.
1230
01:03:17.909 --> 01:03:18.699
Larry!
1231
01:03:21.679 --> 01:03:24.500
Douglas County, we all agree that Douglas County is down
1232
01:03:24.539 --> 01:03:26.519
this year, but Douglas County is still 3-1.
1233
01:03:26.960 --> 01:03:28.420
Larry Pope, brother, I love you.
1234
01:03:28.639 --> 01:03:32.869
I do, man. But already Larry Godwin, in just the
1235
01:03:32.949 --> 01:03:38.269
three teams he's mentioned, has put that comment to rest.
1236
01:03:38.289 --> 01:03:40.869
Come on, Larry Pope. You know more than that. Go ahead, Larry.
1237
01:03:41.699 --> 01:03:43.929
So when you take a look at the three parts
1238
01:03:44.010 --> 01:03:47.949
of the PSR formula for Newton, Newton has won 5-0, right?
1239
01:03:48.329 --> 01:03:52.269
So they're perfect on that one. So their opponent's winning
1240
01:03:52.309 --> 01:03:58.659
percentage is 62%. That's collectively, right? And then their opponent's
1241
01:03:58.719 --> 01:04:04.280
opponent's winning percentage is 69%. That's a recipe for a
1242
01:04:04.400 --> 01:04:06.079
very high PSR ranking.
1243
01:04:08.019 --> 01:04:09.989
I just want to go back to that comment. because
1244
01:04:10.010 --> 01:04:11.840
I had seen it in Larry Pope's comments, and I
1245
01:04:11.840 --> 01:04:12.530
just wanted to address it.
1246
01:04:12.940 --> 01:04:13.199
That's all.
1247
01:04:13.699 --> 01:04:13.980
All right.
1248
01:04:14.820 --> 01:04:18.980
Yeah. Okay. So, now, I want to ask everybody this,
1249
01:04:19.219 --> 01:04:19.760
this watching.
1250
01:04:21.400 --> 01:04:21.639
Okay.
1251
01:04:22.059 --> 01:04:24.329
We had another one of the most anticipated games this
1252
01:04:24.369 --> 01:04:28.849
week was Toombs County and Pierce County.
1253
01:04:30.849 --> 01:04:32.750
We know how good Pierce County can be, right, Larry?
1254
01:04:33.190 --> 01:04:33.389
Sure.
1255
01:04:33.409 --> 01:04:38.349
Okay. So, Toombs County
and Pierce played. I predicted Toombs
1256
01:04:38.409 --> 01:04:43.980
County would win 29-28. They actually won, I think, by
1257
01:04:44.019 --> 01:04:45.139
three touchdowns.
1258
01:04:45.880 --> 01:04:49.820
No, four touchdowns. They won 28-7, I believe. So, my
1259
01:04:49.900 --> 01:04:51.039
question is this.
1260
01:04:52.570 --> 01:04:55.650
Toombs County, Buddy Martin's team, they played for a state
1261
01:04:55.670 --> 01:04:59.210
championship last year. They got beat by Worth. But I
1262
01:04:59.250 --> 01:05:02.690
think it's really time to pay respect to Toombs County.
1263
01:05:06.170 --> 01:05:06.769
Heck of a ball.
1264
01:05:07.150 --> 01:05:10.190
They may be, and what are they, 3A? Toombs County
1265
01:05:10.309 --> 01:05:13.769
may be playing a little above their skis, as they
1266
01:05:13.789 --> 01:05:14.230
like to say.
1267
01:05:15.829 --> 01:05:20.260
Well, they got some pretty good looking skis because they're
1268
01:05:20.300 --> 01:05:21.139
on a roll right now.
1269
01:05:22.119 --> 01:05:26.119
Yeah, yeah. Now, I'll tell you, let's see here. In 3A,
1270
01:05:26.159 --> 01:05:30.920
Toombs County's playing well. Appling County's playing well. Now, Appling is,
1271
01:05:31.320 --> 01:05:33.980
you know, hasn't really played that tough of a schedule,
1272
01:05:34.000 --> 01:05:38.019
but anyway. Uh, Hart County is playing very well. Um,
1273
01:05:40.480 --> 01:05:42.659
there was a kid last, I say kid, a young
1274
01:05:42.699 --> 01:05:46.960
man on Friday night. I think he plays for Westfield. No,
1275
01:05:48.260 --> 01:05:52.820
I can't remember. Had some unbelievable stats and I can't
1276
01:05:52.840 --> 01:05:55.340
remember what school it was, but anyway, if anybody knows,
1277
01:05:55.360 --> 01:05:58.219
I think it was one of the, the, the Macon schools. Um,
1278
01:06:00.250 --> 01:06:02.489
And by the way, guys, let me ask you this, Larry.
1279
01:06:02.510 --> 01:06:05.110
And I say, Larry, anybody else, whether you're a guy
1280
01:06:05.170 --> 01:06:07.210
or a girl. Yeah.
1281
01:06:08.230 --> 01:06:09.809
What has happened to Cedar Grove?
1282
01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:16.340
That's a tough question. Didn't they have a coaching change?
1283
01:06:16.840 --> 01:06:22.340
They did. And does everybody, it's time for class. Everybody
1284
01:06:22.380 --> 01:06:23.099
come in and sit down.
1285
01:06:25.090 --> 01:06:31.860
Okay. Everybody knows what Phil says about coaching changes. Right?
1286
01:06:32.739 --> 01:06:33.920
Coaching matters in high school.
1287
01:06:35.159 --> 01:06:36.139
Well, it does that.
1288
01:06:36.300 --> 01:06:37.460
Coaching and your quarterback.
1289
01:06:37.940 --> 01:06:38.179
Yeah.
1290
01:06:38.719 --> 01:06:46.679
But the big thing, anytime you see a long-standing coach leave,
1291
01:06:49.119 --> 01:06:51.389
trouble is brewing.
1292
01:06:53.190 --> 01:06:53.809
Okay.
1293
01:06:53.849 --> 01:06:56.269
And let me answer your question. That's what happened, I think,
1294
01:06:56.289 --> 01:06:56.949
to Cedar Grove.
1295
01:06:57.550 --> 01:07:01.329
They lost John Adams, not the original signer of the
1296
01:07:01.690 --> 01:07:08.469
Declaration of Independence. But John Adams, who was the head
1297
01:07:08.730 --> 01:07:10.030
coach at Cedar Grove, okay?
1298
01:07:10.730 --> 01:07:13.510
Remember, he went to Georgia State. That just goes to
1299
01:07:13.550 --> 01:07:14.349
show you how good he.
1300
01:07:14.349 --> 01:07:14.730
Was, Larry.
1301
01:07:15.170 --> 01:07:17.170
Yeah, did he? Is he the one who invented ale?
1302
01:07:19.789 --> 01:07:21.070
That was John Quincy Adams.
1303
01:07:21.429 --> 01:07:22.650
Oh, okay, okay.
1304
01:07:22.690 --> 01:07:23.570
I have no idea.
1305
01:07:24.190 --> 01:07:24.989
But John Adams.
1306
01:07:25.010 --> 01:07:25.989
That was Samuel Adams.
1307
01:07:26.409 --> 01:07:28.329
That's right, Larry. I'm sorry.
1308
01:07:28.349 --> 01:07:30.760
I gave you some bad advice there. Yes, Samuel Adams.
1309
01:07:30.780 --> 01:07:34.280
So I'm going to ask you to clarify something for me. Okay.
1310
01:07:35.420 --> 01:07:39.280
You said when a longtime coach exits a program, trouble
1311
01:07:39.460 --> 01:07:43.570
is not far behind. Is it because did they exit
1312
01:07:43.849 --> 01:07:45.730
because they saw trouble coming?
1313
01:07:46.030 --> 01:07:46.590
That is right.
1314
01:07:47.190 --> 01:07:51.090
Or did trouble come because that person's no longer there?
1315
01:07:51.949 --> 01:07:56.449
Well, kind of both. But the answer is, is twofold
1316
01:07:56.550 --> 01:07:59.730
and you're actually right on both of your answers okay
1317
01:07:59.989 --> 01:08:03.050
or your questions i should say okay so yes they
1318
01:08:03.139 --> 01:08:08.699
see trouble coming i believe larry okay and this is
1319
01:08:08.719 --> 01:08:11.519
going to hit home with you you just talked about
1320
01:08:11.579 --> 01:08:14.300
it okay i think that's one of the reasons jamie
1321
01:08:14.340 --> 01:08:19.060
demose left do you think that's fair.
1322
01:08:20.539 --> 01:08:25.680
Could be. You know, Ja'Cory Brown was graduating. He was
1323
01:08:25.739 --> 01:08:29.159
losing a lot of talent. Yes. And he was probably
1324
01:08:29.189 --> 01:08:31.689
a couple years away from restocking.
1325
01:08:33.449 --> 01:08:36.810
And I don't think Jamie DeBose– and I love Jamie DeBose,
1326
01:08:36.970 --> 01:08:40.029
and I'm just making a– I'm just basing– I'm just
1327
01:08:40.050 --> 01:08:43.630
giving you my opinion. So I'm not hating on anybody.
1328
01:08:43.750 --> 01:08:45.449
I like Jamie DeBose. I think he's a great coach.
1329
01:08:45.470 --> 01:08:47.880
I think he's doing a great job at Bainbridge. But
1330
01:08:48.079 --> 01:08:49.960
I believe, yes, but to answer your question, Larry, and
1331
01:08:49.979 --> 01:08:51.140
I don't want to make it all about Jimmy DeVos,
1332
01:08:51.180 --> 01:08:56.710
but yes, I think that's
what happens. These longtime coaches,
1333
01:08:57.770 --> 01:09:02.149
when you see one of those depart. that means trouble
1334
01:09:02.439 --> 01:09:03.300
is coming.
1335
01:09:03.779 --> 01:09:05.439
I got.
1336
01:09:06.279 --> 01:09:06.399
You.
1337
01:09:07.260 --> 01:09:10.819
You might be right with Jimmy, but he did have
1338
01:09:11.020 --> 01:09:12.439
some family circumstances.
1339
01:09:12.930 --> 01:09:13.189
Yeah.
1340
01:09:13.489 --> 01:09:14.949
That pulled him away from Lowndes at the time.
1341
01:09:15.149 --> 01:09:15.449
Okay.
1342
01:09:15.529 --> 01:09:18.979
And that's fair then. That's fair. And that's the case.
1343
01:09:19.229 --> 01:09:23.359
And I'm sure it's not 100% foolproof, like in Jamie
1344
01:09:23.380 --> 01:09:23.960
DeBose's case.
1345
01:09:24.000 --> 01:09:25.239
And remember, I said I didn't really want to make
1346
01:09:25.260 --> 01:09:26.979
it about Jamie DeBose. I'm just kind of giving an example.
1347
01:09:27.239 --> 01:09:34.529
But there is a long, long list of these examples. And, again,
1348
01:09:35.050 --> 01:09:38.010
John Quincy Adams. I have no idea if that's his
1349
01:09:38.050 --> 01:09:40.130
middle name. John Adams, who was the head coach of
1350
01:09:40.149 --> 01:09:42.909
Cedar Grove, Remember all the state championships that.
1351
01:09:42.829 --> 01:09:43.470
He won, guys?
1352
01:09:44.449 --> 01:09:44.630
Yeah.
1353
01:09:45.390 --> 01:09:50.100
And now you look down and they're getting beat 63-6
1354
01:09:50.859 --> 01:09:58.899
by Columbia. I mean, what has happened? Anyway, I'm sure
1355
01:09:58.920 --> 01:10:03.409
John Adams saw what was coming. Eric Soliday at Irwin.
1356
01:10:03.449 --> 01:10:09.189
I've used that one a lot. That Irwin County– If
1357
01:10:09.329 --> 01:10:13.630
you guys go back and look over a decade, Irwin
1358
01:10:13.689 --> 01:10:21.149
County may have had the most success of any team.
1359
01:10:20.930 --> 01:10:21.869
In the state of Georgia.
1360
01:10:23.350 --> 01:10:29.340
And I'm talking about from championships, making championship games, winning
1361
01:10:29.380 --> 01:10:30.420
state championships.
1362
01:10:31.439 --> 01:10:33.180
There was a 10-year period.
1363
01:10:32.859 --> 01:10:36.140
There under Eric Soliday where they were either winning state
1364
01:10:36.159 --> 01:10:43.250
titles or advancing to the state titles, or at least
1365
01:10:43.329 --> 01:10:48.489
making it to the semifinals. Okay? They were on some
1366
01:10:48.789 --> 01:10:51.310
kind of run, and because it was a smaller school,
1367
01:10:51.689 --> 01:10:54.399
like Erwin, there wasn't a whole lot of attention given
1368
01:10:54.439 --> 01:10:58.239
to it. But, I mean, yeah, it was quite a
1369
01:10:58.380 --> 01:11:02.180
run when you go from the, and I apologize for,
1370
01:11:02.640 --> 01:11:06.439
but it was the Buddy Nobles who passed away.
1371
01:11:08.310 --> 01:11:09.409
That's right, in Irwin County.
1372
01:11:09.789 -->
01:11:10.069
Uh-huh.
1373
01:11:10.489 --> 01:11:11.310
Yeah, I think so.
1374
01:11:11.729 --> 01:11:15.390
Yeah, you know, Buddy Noble started it, you know, and again,
1375
01:11:15.829 --> 01:11:18.750
God rest his soul. And then, Larry, it goes to
1376
01:11:18.869 --> 01:11:22.550
Eric Soliday, who was his assistant. Remember, Eric Soliday's son,
1377
01:11:22.590 --> 01:11:27.149
was it Cody Soliday, was quite the quarterback, okay? Yeah. But, man,
1378
01:11:27.250 --> 01:11:33.090
that was a juggernaut of a football program. And when
1379
01:11:33.170 --> 01:11:40.710
he leaves– I have never seen a bigger drop-off. Yeah.
1380
01:11:41.670 --> 01:11:43.710
Remember last year, I don't think they won a game.
1381
01:11:44.630 --> 01:11:46.729
And now this year, the new coach has come in.
1382
01:11:46.770 --> 01:11:49.170
He's doing better. And he'll build the team up. He
1383
01:11:49.189 --> 01:11:51.609
was the tight ends coach, I think, at Coffee High.
1384
01:11:51.989 --> 01:11:54.880
And I apologize. I can't remember his name. My apologies
1385
01:11:54.899 --> 01:11:57.020
for that. But I'm just saying, and again, I don't
1386
01:11:57.039 --> 01:11:59.960
want to get off on a tangent, but this is
1387
01:12:00.020 --> 01:12:06.250
what happens when these longtime coaches leave. Jeff Littleton. At Bainbridge.
1388
01:12:06.590 --> 01:12:07.529
Look what happened there.
1389
01:12:10.789 --> 01:12:11.289
Hold on a second.
1390
01:12:12.529 --> 01:12:13.310
Collins Hill.
1391
01:12:14.069 --> 01:12:15.810
Yeah.
1392
01:12:15.850 --> 01:12:20.180
Who was the coach at Collins Hill? Somebody help me out.
1393
01:12:21.539 --> 01:12:23.800
Oh, yeah. He was a different kind of guy.
1394
01:12:24.460 --> 01:12:26.180
He was a different kind of guy, for sure. I'm
1395
01:12:26.199 --> 01:12:27.359
going to go down and see if anybody can help
1396
01:12:27.399 --> 01:12:28.920
me out with this. I apologize.
1397
01:12:29.079 --> 01:12:31.779
Was it Ironside?
1398
01:12:31.819 --> 01:12:32.149
No, no.
1399
01:12:32.159 --> 01:12:34.489
You're thinking of Phillip Ironside, who was at Worth.
1400
01:12:34.970 --> 01:12:41.109
Okay. Phillip just wanted to retire and go fishing. Remember,
1401
01:12:41.189 --> 01:12:42.899
Phillip was a guy who didn't wear shoes.
1402
01:12:44.779 --> 01:12:45.479
Oh, that's right.
1403
01:12:46.600 --> 01:12:49.739
Good guy, though. I got to know him. Let me
1404
01:12:49.760 --> 01:12:52.260
tell you, he is what he is, man. He is
1405
01:12:52.300 --> 01:12:54.649
a good old country boy, and he didn't want any
1406
01:12:54.659 --> 01:12:57.270
of the baloney and the tape, red tape you had
1407
01:12:57.289 --> 01:12:59.229
to climb through. But he was a heck of a
1408
01:12:59.250 --> 01:13:02.890
football coach. Remember, he had those Hill Grove teams that
1409
01:13:02.909 --> 01:13:04.069
were scoring all those points.
1410
01:13:04.090 --> 01:13:04.630
You remember that?
1411
01:13:04.649 --> 01:13:04.729
Yeah.
1412
01:13:04.989 --> 01:13:05.189
Yeah.
1413
01:13:06.060 --> 01:13:06.880
Okay.
1414
01:13:06.920 --> 01:13:11.420
Remember, Byron Slacks has succeeded to Phillip Ironside.
1415
01:13:11.439 --> 01:13:14.079
Okay? Yeah.
1416
01:13:14.119 --> 01:13:18.939
Daniel Calhoun may have corrected me. Casey Soliday. All the Solidays,
1417
01:13:18.979 --> 01:13:19.569
I get them mixed up.
1418
01:13:20.340 --> 01:13:25.250
Let me see here. Okay. Ken Washington, Jr.
1419
01:13:25.289 --> 01:13:30.149
Just brought up another good example. Same with the Rome coach. Absolutely.
1420
01:13:30.229 --> 01:13:34.939
John Reed saw what was coming, Larry. John Reed steps down, and, man,
1421
01:13:34.960 --> 01:13:35.819
they are tanking.
1422
01:13:36.500 --> 01:13:38.720
By the way, hold on a second. What do you
1423
01:13:38.739 --> 01:13:44.460
think would have happened if the young man would have
1424
01:13:44.479 --> 01:13:46.520
stayed at Rome? That's at TCC now.
1425
01:13:49.399 --> 01:13:50.899
They'd be winning more games up there.
1426
01:13:51.819 --> 01:13:52.659
You think?
1427
01:13:54.739 --> 01:13:58.119
What? Hey, again, we're making a couple of points here
1428
01:13:58.149 --> 01:14:05.430
that Phil likes to dwell on. You are as good
1429
01:14:05.489 --> 01:14:11.260
as your quarterback is, period. And when you see your
1430
01:14:11.300 --> 01:14:15.640
longtime head coach bail on you, look out because trouble's coming.
1431
01:14:15.739 --> 01:14:18.800
And that's a good point, Ken Washington, Jr. Who was
1432
01:14:18.819 --> 01:14:20.920
the quarterback? Who was the head coach at Collins Hill?
1433
01:14:20.960 --> 01:14:23.479
You guys help me out. Are you talking about Gregory?
1434
01:14:25.930 --> 01:14:26.770
Was it Lenny Gregory?
1435
01:14:27.510 --> 01:14:28.770
Okay, yeah, but he's got three names.
1436
01:14:31.369 --> 01:14:31.810
I have no idea.
1437
01:14:32.300 --> 01:14:36.420
Yeah, Lenny Gregory something. Damn it.
1438
01:14:37.100 --> 01:14:38.760
I thought that was his name, Lenny Gregory.
1439
01:14:39.119 --> 01:14:46.189
No, he's got a hyphenated name. Anyway, Lenny Gregory. Still,
1440
01:14:46.229 --> 01:14:47.850
we know who we're talking about. Lenny Gregory was the
1441
01:14:47.869 --> 01:14:51.689
same way, Larry. You lose Travis Hunter and all that talent,
1442
01:14:52.789 --> 01:14:57.479
Lenny Gregory says, I'm out of here. Okay.
1443
01:14:57.529 --> 01:15:00.939
Hey, there's Leonard Finnerd who has joined us, ladies and gentlemen. Larry,
1444
01:15:00.960 --> 01:15:01.539
you see Leonard Finnerd.
1445
01:15:02.590 --> 01:15:03.130
Yeah, man.
1446
01:15:03.289 --> 01:15:04.229
See him in there in his comment?
1447
01:15:04.789 --> 01:15:05.310
There's Leonard.
1448
01:15:05.329 --> 01:15:12.520
There's Valapiano Jones. Hey, Leonard, I'm feeling left out, man.
1449
01:15:13.180 --> 01:15:15.520
You talk up Phil and you give him this nickname.
1450
01:15:15.760 --> 01:15:17.039
I want you to give me a
nickname.
1451
01:15:17.579 --> 01:15:19.460
All right, Finn, you're on the clock.
1452
01:15:20.680 --> 01:15:23.319
A good one now. A good one like you gave one. Oh,
1453
01:15:23.359 --> 01:15:24.840
give me one of these crappy nicknames.
1454
01:15:25.159 --> 01:15:26.930
Now, you know, Larry, that goes back, though, to our
1455
01:15:26.979 --> 01:15:30.770
childhood when I loved the Oakland Raiders. And the Oakland
1456
01:15:30.810 --> 01:15:34.600
Raiders had a linebacker who was named Phil Balapino. I
1457
01:15:34.640 --> 01:15:38.159
don't know how you say his name. But Ben started
1458
01:15:38.180 --> 01:15:42.159
calling me Phil Balapino. Okay, here's another one. Look out.
1459
01:15:42.359 --> 01:15:45.979
Jim Blair. Good call, Jim. Trouble in Mill Creek.
1460
01:15:46.859 --> 01:15:47.060
Yeah.
1461
01:15:47.659 --> 01:15:48.479
Good one, Jim.
1462
01:15:48.539 --> 01:15:55.890
Will we see Josh Lovelady bail? And by the way, guys, listen.
1463
01:15:56.510 --> 01:15:59.430
Think about what's happening. There is a movement going on.
1464
01:16:00.609 --> 01:16:04.489
Up there in the area of North Atlanta, Mill Creek,
1465
01:16:05.409 --> 01:16:09.449
my buddy Collins Hill, Drew Swick, I love him. He's
1466
01:16:09.470 --> 01:16:11.949
a good friend of mine. I hate to see what's happening.
1467
01:16:12.310 --> 01:16:19.520
I hope it's just kind of a temporary thing. But nevertheless,
1468
01:16:19.560 --> 01:16:21.479
look at what's going on at Norcross, Larry.
1469
01:16:25.020 --> 01:16:29.079
Yeah, Coach Maloof was a long-time coach up there.
1470
01:16:29.340 --> 01:16:34.489
Good, good call. Now, they're struggling. I love the fact
1471
01:16:34.529 --> 01:16:45.119
that Roswell and my buddy J.T. Jonathan Thompson, he's been able, fortunately,
1472
01:16:45.159 --> 01:16:50.260
to avoid that North Atlanta school fallout. So has Eric
1473
01:16:50.300 --> 01:16:55.319
Godfrey at North Gwinnett. Look at what happened to Parkview. First,
1474
01:16:55.359 --> 01:16:58.479
it was Cecil Flo leaving, and then I can't remember
1475
01:16:58.500 --> 01:17:01.380
who was after him, but But Parkey struggled. So it's
1476
01:17:01.420 --> 01:17:03.859
just really weird what has happened. Did you ever think
1477
01:17:03.899 --> 01:17:05.100
you'd see Mill Creek struggle?
1478
01:17:05.149 --> 01:17:05.859
They haven't won a game.
1479
01:17:07.550 --> 01:17:08.569
It's a head-scratcher, man.
1480
01:17:10.489 --> 01:17:14.430
Guys, you remember four years ago? Does anybody remember this?
1481
01:17:15.430 --> 01:17:18.550
They were beating the, you know what, out of Carrollton
1482
01:17:18.750 --> 01:17:19.729
of all people.
1483
01:17:20.250 --> 01:17:21.670
Y'all remember that state championship game?
1484
01:17:22.250 --> 01:17:22.449
Yeah.
1485
01:17:24.979 --> 01:17:27.640
I mean, this is a pattern, guys, okay? This is
1486
01:17:27.659 --> 01:17:28.359
what I'm talking about.
1487
01:17:28.659 --> 01:17:30.439
It's a pattern. And I've only scratched the surface.
1488
01:17:30.460 --> 01:17:33.680
There's so many coaches that I have talked about that,
1489
01:17:34.140 --> 01:17:36.739
you know, look out, man, because the bottom is falling out.
1490
01:17:36.659 --> 01:17:37.600
Whenever you see the coach leave.
1491
01:17:39.020 --> 01:17:42.199
So, speaking of coaches leaving, Luke Bush has, so explain
1492
01:17:42.260 --> 01:17:48.909
TCC coach going to TCC versus current Colquitt situation. So,
1493
01:17:50.850 --> 01:17:53.550
to answer that question, you've got to go back when
1494
01:17:54.489 --> 01:17:58.729
Justin Rogers was hired at Colquitt. Justin Rogers, um, going
1495
01:17:58.770 --> 01:18:03.489
to Colquitt, there was one problem with that. He was
1496
01:18:03.529 --> 01:18:07.869
the guy that was going to follow the guy. So
1497
01:18:07.970 --> 01:18:14.140
Rush Probst is ousted at Colquitt County for very debatable reasons.
1498
01:18:14.640 --> 01:18:16.680
But the fact of the matter is the fan base
1499
01:18:16.779 --> 01:18:20.060
disagreed with it. The fan base wanted Rush to stay.
1500
01:18:21.399 --> 01:18:23.899
And so it did not matter who was going to
1501
01:18:23.939 --> 01:18:27.239
be the next guy in. That fan base was not
1502
01:18:27.279 --> 01:18:27.970
going to accept him.
1503
01:18:28.560 --> 01:18:31.380
So you're saying Rodgers was a victim of circumstance?
1504
01:18:31.739 --> 01:18:35.390
That's exactly what I'm saying. So he was not a
1505
01:18:35.470 --> 01:18:38.409
good fit from the very beginning because of those circumstances.
1506
01:18:38.810 --> 01:18:44.130
Then he goes over to TCC, and they're coming fresh
1507
01:18:44.250 --> 01:18:47.529
off of recent losing seasons, that kind of stuff, and
1508
01:18:47.550 --> 01:18:50.220
they roll out the red carpet for him. it was
1509
01:18:50.260 --> 01:18:54.140
a great fit. They wanted him. He wanted to be there.
1510
01:18:54.579 --> 01:18:58.699
It was a great fit. And so we see in
1511
01:18:58.779 --> 01:19:02.289
hindsight the success that he's had there when everybody is
1512
01:19:02.369 --> 01:19:06.250
rowing in the same direction, right? So when Rodgers goes
1513
01:19:06.310 --> 01:19:08.850
to Colquitt, they were not rowing in the same, they
1514
01:19:08.869 --> 01:19:13.880
were battling each other, the fan base and the head coach,
1515
01:19:14.060 --> 01:19:17.140
the administration. They were not in, in sync, if you will.
1516
01:19:17.920 --> 01:19:21.159
And Rogers is just a great fit for central. Cause
1517
01:19:21.180 --> 01:19:27.199
that's exactly what they were looking for. So, so being
1518
01:19:27.260 --> 01:19:29.979
a fit, whether you're talking about in the corporate world
1519
01:19:30.739 --> 01:19:34.399
or being a head football coach, finding the right fit
1520
01:19:34.500 --> 01:19:37.930
is so important. So if you're a, prospective head coach,
1521
01:19:38.329 --> 01:19:41.649
going into a situation, don't go there just
because it's
1522
01:19:41.670 --> 01:19:43.869
the highest paying job. Make sure it's a good fit
1523
01:19:43.909 --> 01:19:45.350
for you and your family.
1524
01:19:45.850 --> 01:20:03.029
Sure. Who was Luke Bush talking about to Obadiah?
1525
01:20:03.270 --> 01:20:06.270
Obadiah was talking to Luke Bush. Luke was asking the
1526
01:20:06.310 --> 01:20:09.470
question about Rogers and Calgary County.
1527
01:20:10.380 --> 01:20:14.460
Jerry White Bradley says, one person does not a football
1528
01:20:14.479 --> 01:20:20.880
team make. You have to have good talent around you also. So, Jerry,
1529
01:20:23.060 --> 01:20:27.479
by the way, Jerry, are you referring to simply losing
1530
01:20:27.520 --> 01:20:31.170
a good quarterback or losing a head coach? Because I
1531
01:20:31.229 --> 01:20:36.619
will say this, Jerry. I hear what you're saying, but
1532
01:20:37.199 --> 01:20:41.840
I do think, like we're talking about with TCC, and
1533
01:20:41.920 --> 01:20:44.359
I think it's getting blown out of proportion a little bit.
1534
01:20:44.380 --> 01:20:49.229
TCC is solid. I'm talking about, but there is no question.
1535
01:20:50.189 --> 01:20:53.550
The quarterback, Aiden McPherson, takes them from a 9.5 to
1536
01:20:53.770 --> 01:20:54.590
a 10.
1537
01:20:54.590 --> 01:20:54.770
Yeah.
1538
01:20:54.850 --> 01:21:00.060
So I don't think anybody's saying that without Aiden McPherson,
1539
01:21:00.079 --> 01:21:02.460
they would not be any good. That's not what anybody's saying.
1540
01:21:02.840 --> 01:21:04.560
It's just that he is the cherry on top.
1541
01:21:07.239 --> 01:21:07.420
Right.
1542
01:21:07.479 --> 01:21:09.380
And Jerry, I don't know if that's what, and Jerry
1543
01:21:09.420 --> 01:21:11.020
White Bradley, I don't know if that's what you're, you're
1544
01:21:11.100 --> 01:21:14.560
actually referring to. Uh, if, if you're, I don't know.
1545
01:21:14.600 --> 01:21:16.779
I just, um, I'm assuming that's what you are, but
1546
01:21:16.819 --> 01:21:18.939
if I'm not, if that's not, I apologize to you.
1547
01:21:20.000 --> 01:21:24.359
Um, uh, Jim Blair said it was down.
1548
01:21:24.390 --> 01:21:29.289
Yeah. They had downs at, uh, they had Travis Hunter.
1549
01:21:29.369 --> 01:21:31.970
They had, what was his first name? Uh, talking about
1550
01:21:32.010 --> 01:21:35.800
all those players at Collins Hill. Um, Man, they were
1551
01:21:35.840 --> 01:21:36.140
something else.
1552
01:21:36.159 --> 01:21:38.899
Oh, you're talking about the quarterback. They had a fantastic
1553
01:21:38.920 --> 01:21:39.779
quarterback as well.
1554
01:21:39.800 --> 01:21:42.079
Collins Hill?
1555
01:21:42.680 --> 01:21:44.460
Yeah.
1556
01:21:44.520 --> 01:21:49.579
Yeah. I'm drawing a blank here. I say that a lot. Okay.
1557
01:21:49.779 --> 01:21:50.319
Let's see here.
1558
01:21:50.350 --> 01:21:55.069
Uh-oh. We got something going on between Richard Lewis and
1559
01:21:55.229 --> 01:21:56.270
Kendrick Sanders.
1560
01:21:57.409 --> 01:21:59.729
You were wrong then and you're wrong now. We would
1561
01:21:59.770 --> 01:22:01.050
have been fine without him.
1562
01:22:01.109 --> 01:22:01.869
Don't get me wrong.
1563
01:22:01.890 --> 01:22:02.829
We are better with him.
1564
01:22:03.270 --> 01:22:05.829
Who are y'all talking about? Come on. Come on, man.
1565
01:22:05.869 --> 01:22:06.550
Don't leave us out.
1566
01:22:06.970 --> 01:22:07.670
What are you talking.
1567
01:22:09.050 --> 01:22:09.409
About?
1568
01:22:09.569 --> 01:22:10.170
I hate that.
1569
01:22:10.189 --> 01:22:12.069
Get in the middle of these conversations, man.
1570
01:22:12.090 --> 01:22:12.649
That's right.
1571
01:22:13.010 --> 01:22:17.680
There's Luke Bush. But Larry, fans don't play the game.
1572
01:22:17.920 --> 01:22:22.800
He found success quickly. I guess you're talking about DeVos?
1573
01:22:23.859 --> 01:22:27.939
No, he's talking about Rodgers at Central. I guess he's
1574
01:22:27.979 --> 01:22:32.840
talking about Rodgers goes to Central and has success quickly. Well,
1575
01:22:32.880 --> 01:22:35.970
you've got to remember that. Rodgers had success in Colquitt
1576
01:22:35.989 --> 01:22:38.890
as well. They just didn't have the success that that
1577
01:22:39.029 --> 01:22:42.640
fan base expected him to have. I'm just telling you.
1578
01:22:43.380 --> 01:22:44.020
By the way.
1579
01:22:44.239 --> 01:22:47.460
He was a victim of circumstance. It did not matter
1580
01:22:48.119 --> 01:22:50.659
if they went 14-1 and made it to the semifinals.
1581
01:22:50.720 --> 01:22:54.220
That fan base was never, ever going to accept Justin
1582
01:22:54.260 --> 01:22:57.979
Rodgers because the way that they perceived that Rush Probst
1583
01:22:58.039 --> 01:22:58.500
was treated.
1584
01:23:01.060 --> 01:23:01.720
By the way.
1585
01:23:03.180 --> 01:23:07.340
For those of you that are a big fan of
1586
01:23:07.880 --> 01:23:16.979
these state championship games being played in home stadiums, look
1587
01:23:17.050 --> 01:23:21.409
no further than when Justin Rogers, and I know this
1588
01:23:21.430 --> 01:23:25.770
because he told me, he took Colquitt County, and this
1589
01:23:25.810 --> 01:23:28.250
was not a state championship game, but still the same
1590
01:23:28.270 --> 01:23:28.949
thing applies.
1591
01:23:29.510 --> 01:23:29.689
Yeah.
1592
01:23:30.050 --> 01:23:34.909
He took Colquitt County to Norcross. and some of you
1593
01:23:34.930 --> 01:23:36.329
North Colquitt County fans may remember this, some of the
1594
01:23:36.350 --> 01:23:39.760
football fans may remember this. He took Colquitt County, and remember,
1595
01:23:39.779 --> 01:23:47.359
Colquitt County was rolling. High-powered, high-octane offense. Goes to Norcross.
1596
01:23:48.020 --> 01:23:50.920
They let the sprinklers run all night.
1597
01:23:52.920 --> 01:23:53.420
Can you hear me, Larry?
1598
01:23:53.979 --> 01:23:54.699
Yeah, I can hear you.
1599
01:23:54.720 --> 01:23:58.119
Okay.
They let the sprinklers run all night to simulate
1600
01:23:58.199 --> 01:24:04.560
rainfall and thus a wet, soggy field. Norcross was a
1601
01:24:04.760 --> 01:24:07.819
heavy run team. Colquitt County was relying pretty heavily on
1602
01:24:07.859 --> 01:24:12.359
the pass and the run. Well, Norcross won that game
1603
01:24:12.420 --> 01:24:14.960
something like 9-7 or some.
1604
01:24:14.779 --> 01:24:18.260
Low score like that. And Rodgers talked about it. Said,
1605
01:24:18.279 --> 01:24:19.420
you know what?
1606
01:24:19.920 --> 01:24:24.210
Our wide receivers could not run routes. Said they definitely
1607
01:24:24.270 --> 01:24:28.789
made that field a true home field advantage to rely
1608
01:24:28.869 --> 01:24:32.250
on their team strength, which was running the football. So
1609
01:24:32.350 --> 01:24:35.619
I'm just saying that's the danger you run into. If
1610
01:24:35.680 --> 01:24:42.319
you take your team into a visitor stadium, you run
1611
01:24:42.359 --> 01:24:44.539
the risk of some kind of home cooking taking over.
1612
01:24:45.359 --> 01:24:47.039
Just thought I would bring that up. Sure.
1613
01:24:48.479 --> 01:24:54.229
So somebody just asked a question. So C.J. Lane, he's
1614
01:24:54.239 --> 01:24:58.770
got a very intriguing matchup this week. Yeah. What's going
1615
01:24:58.789 --> 01:25:02.880
to happen between Cook and Berrien? up in Adel this week.
1616
01:25:02.899 --> 01:25:04.899
That's going to be a very good one, for sure.
1617
01:25:05.399 --> 01:25:08.789
Big-time game. There's so much riding on that game.
1618
01:25:09.329 --> 01:25:14.670
Homecoming game this Friday night in Cook County. Oh, it is? Listen,
1619
01:25:15.090 --> 01:25:19.779
if I'm the Berrien head coach, I lay this on thick,
1620
01:25:20.380 --> 01:25:25.000
that here's Cook County scheduling you guys to be their
1621
01:25:25.079 --> 01:25:29.710
homecoming opponent. That's how much disrespect they have for you.
1622
01:25:30.130 --> 01:25:33.970
Because everybody knows you schedule the easiest team for homecoming, right?
1623
01:25:34.390 --> 01:25:34.770
That's right.
1624
01:25:35.970 --> 01:25:37.189
And so I play that up all week.
1625
01:25:37.930 --> 01:25:43.029
That's interesting. Yeah, no doubt. Obadiah, what's Obadiah talking about?
1626
01:25:44.100 --> 01:25:46.960
I don't know. I don't know.
1627
01:25:47.979 --> 01:25:49.180
That's so pretty, Obadiah.
1628
01:25:49.199 --> 01:25:52.000
What are you talking about? All right, let's see here.
1629
01:25:52.020 --> 01:25:57.810
Let's see.
1630
01:25:58.539 --> 01:25:59.600
I'm trying to get some of these questions.
1631
01:26:00.170 --> 01:26:05.560
Downs was Mill Creek, Hunter, Collins Hill. Yeah, that's right.
1632
01:26:06.079 --> 01:26:06.500
That's right.
1633
01:26:07.000 --> 01:26:08.619
But, man, what has happened to these teams?
1634
01:26:09.439 --> 01:26:09.619
Yeah.
1635
01:26:09.840 --> 01:26:17.270
Mill Creek. C.J.
1636
01:26:17.359 --> 01:26:17.529
Lane.
1637
01:26:17.550 --> 01:26:18.010
What did C.J.
1638
01:26:18.050 --> 01:26:20.729
Lane say? Oh, yeah.
1639
01:26:20.750 --> 01:26:23.069
So, what do you think about Cook and Larry?
1640
01:26:23.090 --> 01:26:23.770
Let me hear you.
1641
01:26:25.109 --> 01:26:29.899
This is a very intriguing matchup. Now– I am going
1642
01:26:29.939 --> 01:26:33.640
to try to apply an objective answer to this. But
1643
01:26:33.760 --> 01:26:36.260
everybody knows that's going to be impossible because of my
1644
01:26:36.300 --> 01:26:37.260
ties to Berrien County.
1645
01:26:37.640 --> 01:26:38.199
That's right. Right?
1646
01:26:39.859 --> 01:26:46.739
So, I'm going to summarize this game feel in one sentence.
1647
01:26:47.279 --> 01:26:47.500
Okay?
1648
01:26:47.979 --> 01:26:48.680
It's really a question.
1649
01:26:49.199 --> 01:26:49.439
Okay.
1650
01:26:50.479 --> 01:26:56.039
Can Berrien's rushing attack get going again? Because up to
1651
01:26:56.579 --> 01:27:00.350
when they met Thomasville, I mean, they were dominating opponents
1652
01:27:00.409 --> 01:27:03.710
with their rushing attack, okay? Can he get back on
1653
01:27:03.810 --> 01:27:08.399
track against a Cook defense that creates negative plays, okay?
1654
01:27:09.260 --> 01:27:13.600
So if Cook turns this into a low possession physical
1655
01:27:13.659 --> 01:27:16.779
game in Adel where it's low scoring, then I like
1656
01:27:16.800 --> 01:27:19.020
Cook County. Man, I love that Notre Dame helmet you
1657
01:27:19.060 --> 01:27:20.300
just picked up, Phil.
1658
01:27:20.340 --> 01:27:21.359
That's the kitchen, baby.
1659
01:27:24.079 --> 01:27:25.300
I say that every week now.
1660
01:27:25.460 --> 01:27:26.859
You do. You really do.
1661
01:27:26.920 --> 01:27:35.899
Spoiler. So, you know, Berrien's 4-1, but it's no secret.
1662
01:27:35.939 --> 01:27:39.649
There's no mystery on how Berrien got to 4-1. They
1663
01:27:39.750 --> 01:27:41.949
love to run the ball, and they love to run
1664
01:27:41.989 --> 01:27:46.289
the ball with their quarterback. Their quarterback, Cash Perkins, is
1665
01:27:46.350 --> 01:27:51.279
a fantastic athlete. But here's the thing I saw against Thomasville.
1666
01:27:51.840 --> 01:27:55.340
Thomasville sold out to shut down that running game and
1667
01:27:55.539 --> 01:27:59.039
dared Berrien to throw the ball, and they were not successful.
1668
01:28:00.039 --> 01:28:03.079
So I'm expecting Cook to do the same thing. They're
1669
01:28:03.100 --> 01:28:06.460
going to sell out, put seven, eight guys, maybe even
1670
01:28:06.579 --> 01:28:09.600
nine guys in the box, force Berrien to air this
1671
01:28:09.640 --> 01:28:12.479
thing out, and if the Rebels can't do it, then
1672
01:28:12.520 --> 01:28:13.100
I like Cook.
1673
01:28:14.739 --> 01:28:17.140
Okay, so what you're saying is that Berrien's having trouble
1674
01:28:17.180 --> 01:28:17.779
throwing the football.
1675
01:28:19.819 --> 01:28:22.149
That's what I saw against
Thomasville. Now, I've been told
1676
01:28:22.189 --> 01:28:25.750
that they've had better success earlier in the season throwing
1677
01:28:25.770 --> 01:28:29.130
the ball because their running game was so effective. Obviously,
1678
01:28:29.649 --> 01:28:31.439
Barron's going to be one of those teams to run it,
1679
01:28:31.949 --> 01:28:33.899
run it, run it, and that's going to set up
1680
01:28:34.100 --> 01:28:38.649
their passing game. But Thomasville, they dared Berrien to throw
1681
01:28:38.689 --> 01:28:42.439
it from the very beginning, right? And so Berrien was
1682
01:28:42.979 --> 01:28:46.260
unable to do that. So if Cook sells out, forces
1683
01:28:46.319 --> 01:28:50.100
Berrien into a passing game, if Berrien's able to do it,
1684
01:28:50.260 --> 01:28:53.760
that's going to back Cook's front seven off the ball
1685
01:28:53.779 --> 01:28:58.180
a little bit to guard the outside, then that might
1686
01:28:58.340 --> 01:29:01.159
open up their running game. But unless Berrien can connect
1687
01:29:01.239 --> 01:29:04.109
on some passing early in that game, I just don't–
1688
01:29:04.579 --> 01:29:06.979
I just– it's going to– they're going to have to
1689
01:29:07.140 --> 01:29:10.680
put the game on the backs of the defense, and
1690
01:29:10.699 --> 01:29:12.409
I don't know if they have the horses to do it.
1691
01:29:13.210 --> 01:29:15.329
Okay, let's get everybody back on track here, okay?
1692
01:29:15.409 --> 01:29:17.149
Let's get everybody back on track. All right, guys, listen.
1693
01:29:17.510 --> 01:29:18.090
Let me ask you.
1694
01:29:19.789 --> 01:29:23.729
We're talking about potential matchups. Thomas County Central is looking
1695
01:29:23.770 --> 01:29:24.350
very strong.
1696
01:29:24.850 --> 01:29:25.029
Yeah.
1697
01:29:25.569 --> 01:29:31.300
If Thomas County Central played Carrollton, What do.
1698
01:29:31.279 --> 01:29:31.899
You think would happen?
1699
01:29:34.100 --> 01:29:36.399
If Thomas County Central plays Carrollton.
1700
01:29:36.500 --> 01:29:38.680
I want you all to think about that very carefully
1701
01:29:38.699 --> 01:29:41.199
before you blurt something out because Thomas County Central is
1702
01:29:41.220 --> 01:29:42.140
looking very good.
1703
01:29:42.579 --> 01:29:42.899
Sure.
1704
01:29:45.189 --> 01:29:48.869
Carrollton, there's an argument they could very well be the
1705
01:29:48.909 --> 01:29:50.729
best team in the state. I'll ask you this.
1706
01:29:51.170 --> 01:29:53.270
I think Creekside is a team to want. There's so
1707
01:29:53.289 --> 01:29:55.590
many teams I'm saying that about in 6A, and we
1708
01:29:55.630 --> 01:29:57.069
haven't even really talked about Milton.
1709
01:29:59.630 --> 01:30:00.729
You see what I'm saying?
1710
01:30:00.750 --> 01:30:00.869
Mm-hmm.
1711
01:30:01.859 --> 01:30:03.619
Go ahead, Larry. I'm just– I'm putting a.
1712
01:30:03.600 --> 01:30:04.239
Lot of stuff on you.
1713
01:30:05.159 --> 01:30:10.500
Yeah, so– yeah, you threw a lot. I think I
1714
01:30:10.539 --> 01:30:12.159
have a better– I think I have a better question
1715
01:30:12.180 --> 01:30:14.159
to answer your Carrollton question, okay?
1716
01:30:14.380 --> 01:30:14.640
Okay.
1717
01:30:15.079 --> 01:30:19.520
If– so, to answer your question, is Carrollton the best
1718
01:30:19.600 --> 01:30:22.829
team in the state? So, it goes back to my
1719
01:30:22.869 --> 01:30:26.489
original question earlier was, are they better than Buford, okay?
1720
01:30:26.909 --> 01:30:31.239
Are they better than Central? I think the better question–
1721
01:30:31.479 --> 01:30:34.859
in my mind is, is Carrollton a more complete team
1722
01:30:34.979 --> 01:30:40.180
than Buford? We know that both teams have stellar athletes, okay?
1723
01:30:40.600 --> 01:30:43.579
Buford's probably got more of them, but Carrollton is right
1724
01:30:43.619 --> 01:30:48.020
up there as well, okay? So we saw in a matchup, what,
1725
01:30:48.220 --> 01:30:50.640
either last season or the season before, that it was
1726
01:30:50.659 --> 01:30:53.539
a pretty good game, Carrollton and Buford, right? So I
1727
01:30:53.579 --> 01:30:55.920
think Carrollton does have the horses to be able to
1728
01:30:55.960 --> 01:30:59.390
compete with Buford, but do they have the depth to
1729
01:30:59.430 --> 01:31:05.829
compete with Buford? Buford's game plan for the last 25
1730
01:31:05.829 --> 01:31:10.039
years has been to beat you with depth. It's recognizable
1731
01:31:10.079 --> 01:31:13.800
they have athletes across the board, but what Buford brings
1732
01:31:13.840 --> 01:31:16.819
to the table that's more impressive than anything is they
1733
01:31:16.840 --> 01:31:20.000
can just wear you down. They don't have to get fancy.
1734
01:31:20.600 --> 01:31:24.779
Buford ball is run the ball right at you, wear
1735
01:31:24.819 --> 01:31:28.189
you out, and then throw enough to keep you honest
1736
01:31:28.449 --> 01:31:31.239
so they can run the ball consistently and wear you out.
1737
01:31:31.659 --> 01:31:33.100
Well, you're right.
1738
01:31:33.340 --> 01:31:34.060
Go ahead.
1739
01:31:35.060 --> 01:31:37.539
Carrollton is one of those teams that does have the
1740
01:31:37.600 --> 01:31:40.899
horses to be able to slow Buford down. But unless
1741
01:31:40.979 --> 01:31:46.970
Carrollton can get up by two scores, when it comes
1742
01:31:47.050 --> 01:31:49.590
fourth quarter, I just don't think they have the stamina
1743
01:31:49.930 --> 01:31:53.090
to outlast Buford. And that's the problem that I see
1744
01:31:53.130 --> 01:31:59.399
with Central as well. Man for man in the top 11,
1745
01:31:59.399 --> 01:32:03.079
top 22, I think Central might be just as talented
1746
01:32:03.590 --> 01:32:07.649
with their starting 11 on offense as Buford has on defense.
1747
01:32:08.250 --> 01:32:09.989
But do they have the depth to be able to
1748
01:32:10.029 --> 01:32:13.260
compete with Buford over four quarters? I just don't think
1749
01:32:13.300 --> 01:32:14.720
that answer is yes quite yet.
1750
01:32:15.699 --> 01:32:17.619
You know, let's look back at last year when Thomas
1751
01:32:17.640 --> 01:32:21.579
County Central went and they were running roughshod through everybody. Remember,
1752
01:32:21.600 --> 01:32:24.600
they played Gainesville and everybody thought, okay, this is going
1753
01:32:24.619 --> 01:32:30.939
to be the big matchup. The absolute lore.
1754
01:32:31.930 --> 01:32:36.050
Now, in fairness, remember, Gainesville was going through a mess.
1755
01:32:38.029 --> 01:32:43.649
Remember that? They had all the mass player suspension. Yeah.
1756
01:32:44.550 --> 01:32:48.460
But I think he didn't get appealed or something like that. Anyway,
1757
01:32:48.960 --> 01:32:52.039
my point being, there was a lot of distraction last
1758
01:32:52.079 --> 01:32:53.199
year for Gainesville.
1759
01:32:54.380 --> 01:32:57.020
I'm not making any excuses. I'm just saying that's a fact.
1760
01:32:57.060 --> 01:32:57.399
There was.
1761
01:32:57.939 --> 01:33:00.409
So if a team can go in with their 100%
1762
01:33:00.409 --> 01:33:04.609
of their thoughts focused on Central, they're going to need that.
1763
01:33:04.710 --> 01:33:07.890
But again, I just like 6A because you've got so
1764
01:33:07.949 --> 01:33:12.590
many opponents that could possibly present some kind of opponent
1765
01:33:13.170 --> 01:33:17.489
for Thomas County Central. Again, I like, you know, we've
1766
01:33:17.510 --> 01:33:21.529
got to remember Roswell. You know, Roswell, get their helmet
1767
01:33:21.569 --> 01:33:22.489
up here. Coffee.
1768
01:33:22.770 --> 01:33:24.250
People chuckle when I say coffee.
1769
01:33:24.270 --> 01:33:28.210
Man, I'm telling you, I've seen these Mike Coe coach
1770
01:33:28.250 --> 01:33:30.689
football teams when he was at Madison County.
1771
01:33:31.960 --> 01:33:34.760
This guy builds machines, man.
1772
01:33:35.079 --> 01:33:35.380
Sure.
1773
01:33:36.079 --> 01:33:38.260
I am telling you guys, listen to me, what I'm
1774
01:33:38.300 --> 01:33:42.909
telling you. So don't laugh.
1775
01:33:43.689 --> 01:33:48.770
Am I saying coffee can do it? Well, yes, they can.
1776
01:33:48.850 --> 01:33:49.189
Will they?
1777
01:33:49.270 --> 01:33:49.590
I don't know.
1778
01:33:49.609 --> 01:33:50.869
That's another big question.
1779
01:33:51.390 --> 01:33:51.550
Yeah.
1780
01:33:51.609 --> 01:33:54.949
But here's the go. The higher you go, the better.
1781
01:33:54.710 --> 01:33:55.210
The air gets.
1782
01:33:55.930 --> 01:34:00.109
Yeah. He's exactly right. Now, Phil, can I address something
1783
01:34:00.350 --> 01:34:01.079
that's been bothering you?
1784
01:34:01.149 --> 01:34:02.369
Yes. Yes, go ahead, Larry.
1785
01:34:03.550 --> 01:34:08.130
So now I'm not addressing this stuff. specifically at jose
1786
01:34:08.149 --> 01:34:10.890
badia i know jose likes to pick on me sometimes
1787
01:34:11.050 --> 01:34:13.050
and i give it right back to him but but
1788
01:34:13.109 --> 01:34:17.170
i've noticed fans in general when they watch shows like
1789
01:34:17.310 --> 01:34:22.949
ours sometimes hear things that we don't say right and
1790
01:34:23.170 --> 01:34:26.880
and it bothers me some so when i know jose's
1791
01:34:26.920 --> 01:34:28.760
picking on me but i'm trying to make a point
1792
01:34:28.800 --> 01:34:31.220
with his comment he says lg needs to head north
1793
01:34:31.260 --> 01:34:34.449
to tifton first he He picked against his Vikings. Now
1794
01:34:34.510 --> 01:34:36.729
he's burying rebels. You ought to wear the yellow shirt
1795
01:34:36.789 --> 01:34:41.050
and black pants again. So I don't know if I've
1796
01:34:41.170 --> 01:34:45.979
ever picked against Lowndes. I don't think in a couple
1797
01:34:45.989 --> 01:34:48.260
of minutes ago when I described the Cook-Berrien game, I
1798
01:34:48.300 --> 01:34:52.100
don't think I picked Cook. What you heard me say
1799
01:34:52.180 --> 01:34:56.720
was if Berrien can't do this, then I see this happening.
1800
01:34:57.460 --> 01:34:59.859
What if Cook does this? Then it's going to force
1801
01:34:59.899 --> 01:35:02.600
Berrien to do that. And if Berrien can't overcome this,
1802
01:35:03.100 --> 01:35:05.619
then I like Cook. There's a lot of if statements
1803
01:35:05.659 --> 01:35:08.239
in there. I'm giving you, trying to give you an
1804
01:35:08.310 --> 01:35:12.189
objective way that I look at these matchups. That doesn't
1805
01:35:12.310 --> 01:35:15.449
necessarily mean that I pick a team. For example, last
1806
01:35:15.489 --> 01:35:17.609
week I went out of my way to try to
1807
01:35:17.770 --> 01:35:22.949
break down what I saw between Lee and TCC, and
1808
01:35:22.989 --> 01:35:27.130
a lot of TCC fans heard me say, hey, Lee
1809
01:35:27.170 --> 01:35:29.229
County's definitely going to win this game. But when you
1810
01:35:29.270 --> 01:35:31.550
go back and look, I gave a lot of if
1811
01:35:31.689 --> 01:35:34.270
this happens statements Then I expect this to happen. But
1812
01:35:34.310 --> 01:35:38.479
in the end, I picked TCC to win 28-24. So
1813
01:35:38.500 --> 01:35:42.539
you guys need to listen closely to these assessments. I
1814
01:35:42.560 --> 01:35:45.699
don't pick one way or the other based on the assessment.
1815
01:35:46.039 --> 01:35:48.640
I use a lot of if this happens, then I
1816
01:35:48.680 --> 01:35:49.220
expect that.
1817
01:35:51.520 --> 01:35:53.930
I got you. I got you.
1818
01:35:55.949 --> 01:35:56.310
All right.
1819
01:35:57.810 --> 01:36:04.180
Let's see here. Kendrick Sanders says, I'm with you, LG.
1820
01:36:04.229 --> 01:36:06.619
I have no idea what he's with you. Do you
1821
01:36:06.739 --> 01:36:07.359
know what he's talking about?
1822
01:36:09.000 --> 01:36:13.180
I don't know. Jose Badia says, yeah, I know. I know.
1823
01:36:13.199 --> 01:36:16.260
I'm just stirring things up, LG. I know. That's why
1824
01:36:16.300 --> 01:36:18.760
I
said what I said. I know you're picking on me,
1825
01:36:19.140 --> 01:36:23.020
but I'm using your comment to drive home a point. Now,
1826
01:36:23.079 --> 01:36:27.710
Justin Kyle Haley agrees with me when I'm talking about,
1827
01:36:28.449 --> 01:36:31.470
I don't think that that TCC has the depth to
1828
01:36:31.529 --> 01:36:34.520
go toe-to-toe with Buford for four quarters. And he makes
1829
01:36:34.560 --> 01:36:36.840
a really good point. He says the strength to Central
1830
01:36:36.859 --> 01:36:41.260
this year is their team speed. And he's right, especially
1831
01:36:41.279 --> 01:36:42.359
with Aiden McPherson, right?
1832
01:36:42.659 --> 01:36:43.500
Right, right.
1833
01:36:44.439 --> 01:36:48.489
Yeah, it's a good point. What's up, Justin Kyle Haley?
1834
01:36:51.590 --> 01:36:53.210
Did Kerry Claiborne leave us?
1835
01:36:53.550 --> 01:36:55.850
Did Big Buford leave us, by the way?
1836
01:36:57.010 --> 01:37:00.779
They may have. I think, you know, just between us two,
1837
01:37:02.420 --> 01:37:03.810
I think they might be up to something.
1838
01:37:03.819 --> 01:37:06.949
Yeah, it looks like they got something scheming, don't they?
1839
01:37:07.250 --> 01:37:07.630
That's right.
1840
01:37:09.090 --> 01:37:11.869
Jose Padilla, thank you, man. You guys are professional and
1841
01:37:11.970 --> 01:37:15.789
break it down, break down like an ESPN. Man, that's
1842
01:37:15.850 --> 01:37:16.369
very nice.
1843
01:37:16.390 --> 01:37:17.630
Man, what a great compliment.
1844
01:37:18.390 --> 01:37:21.210
Wow, Jose, I am blown away, man. Thank you for that.
1845
01:37:21.229 --> 01:37:25.119
Oh, wait a minute. He was talking about somebody else. No,
1846
01:37:25.180 --> 01:37:26.640
I'm just kidding. I think he was talking about us.
1847
01:37:28.670 --> 01:37:29.369
Let's see here.
1848
01:37:29.810 --> 01:37:33.520
Tony Wynn, TCCH Jacket Nation, checking in.
1849
01:37:33.529 --> 01:37:36.189
What's up, Tony? Glad to see you here in the house.
1850
01:37:36.909 --> 01:37:39.010
Jose, I'm assuming that was for us, wasn't it, buddy?
1851
01:37:39.189 --> 01:37:47.430
I'm assuming that was. Let's see here. So, Larry, how
1852
01:37:47.470 --> 01:37:51.670
do you see, I mean, you know, we've talked about
1853
01:37:51.810 --> 01:37:52.550
Region 17A.
1854
01:37:52.649 --> 01:37:58.140
Yeah. You know, still up for grabs. You know, you
1855
01:37:58.180 --> 01:38:03.789
look over at 2-6A. You know, again, who's going to
1856
01:38:03.810 --> 01:38:06.550
take that one? I think the easy answer is Thomas
1857
01:38:06.569 --> 01:38:07.409
County Central.
1858
01:38:07.909 --> 01:38:08.149
Yeah.
1859
01:38:08.409 --> 01:38:12.689
But I think you've got a, you know, I think
1860
01:38:12.729 --> 01:38:18.899
you've got coffee. I really like coffee. I keep saying that.
1861
01:38:19.479 --> 01:38:21.840
And I'm talking about the team. Plus, I like to drink, too.
1862
01:38:22.640 --> 01:38:26.939
I like coffee a lot. I like trying to think
1863
01:38:26.949 --> 01:38:29.859
who else. By the way, don't look now, but guess
1864
01:38:29.880 --> 01:38:32.720
who's playing really good football? Veterans.
1865
01:38:32.760 --> 01:38:33.079
Who's that?
1866
01:38:33.739 --> 01:38:33.939
Who?
1867
01:38:34.560 --> 01:38:35.000
Veterans.
1868
01:38:35.680 --> 01:38:37.000
Veterans had a big win.
1869
01:38:38.399 --> 01:38:41.220
Listen, Steve Novorosny, just a matter of him getting that
1870
01:38:41.260 --> 01:38:42.600
team like he wants them to play.
1871
01:38:42.970 --> 01:38:45.989
Guy has always been a winner, no matter where he's been.
1872
01:38:46.770 --> 01:38:51.079
You know? And I'm sure he's still going to be
1873
01:38:51.539 --> 01:38:54.960
doing great things. While he's better, he already has. But
1874
01:38:54.979 --> 01:38:57.439
I'm just trying to think how you see that region
1875
01:38:58.050 --> 01:39:01.159
sorting out in Region 268.
1876
01:39:01.409 --> 01:39:05.149
Well, obviously, the easy answer, like you said, TCC. So
1877
01:39:05.250 --> 01:39:07.390
I'm just going to say TCC is going to win
1878
01:39:07.409 --> 01:39:10.829
this thing. So then the question is, well, who's going
1879
01:39:10.850 --> 01:39:14.829
to take second? So I think it's TCC's region and
1880
01:39:14.869 --> 01:39:20.489
then everybody else. Until someone steps up and proves otherwise,
1881
01:39:21.069 --> 01:39:25.529
they're the man. Yep. Lee County gave it their best shot.
1882
01:39:25.810 --> 01:39:31.460
They came up way, way short. So is coffee capable
1883
01:39:32.739 --> 01:39:35.560
of beating Central? Right now, I don't think so.
1884
01:39:37.079 --> 01:39:41.649
Do we– let's see here.
1885
01:39:41.670 --> 01:39:42.810
I was trying to think here.
1886
01:39:42.949 --> 01:39:43.090
Okay.
1887
01:39:45.250 --> 01:39:47.960
Okay. Hold on a second. Kelly Mitchell, I'm back, Phil.
1888
01:39:48.000 --> 01:39:51.539
Brooke's checking in. Hopefully we can get back on track. Kerry,
1889
01:39:51.560 --> 01:39:53.800
I was just asking about you, man. Where have you been?
1890
01:39:54.880 --> 01:39:58.560
Kerry Claver left us for dinner. You know you can
1891
01:39:58.619 --> 01:40:00.960
eat dinner while you're watching the show. Matter of fact,
1892
01:40:01.060 --> 01:40:02.960
I can't eat without watching some kind of show.
1893
01:40:03.859 --> 01:40:06.210
Where did he go? Kerry, you had to go eat.
1894
01:40:06.220 --> 01:40:07.420
He went to eat dinner, man.
1895
01:40:07.600 --> 01:40:10.920
I know, but man, can you not eat? By the way,
1896
01:40:11.399 --> 01:40:14.279
I got to ask. Larry?
1897
01:40:14.300 --> 01:40:15.140
Yeah?
1898
01:40:16.720 --> 01:40:20.000
What kind of household are you guys?
1899
01:40:20.600 --> 01:40:23.340
Is it a turn the TV off while we're eating
1900
01:40:23.380 --> 01:40:27.350
dinner or must have the TV on while we're eating dinner?
1901
01:40:29.189 --> 01:40:33.609
Does anyone turn the TV off anymore?
1902
01:40:34.869 --> 01:40:35.909
So obviously y'all don't.
1903
01:40:37.770 --> 01:40:42.130
No, not really. Well, the way we, you know, Al
1904
01:40:42.949 --> 01:40:45.060
and I are basically empty nesters now.
1905
01:40:45.930 --> 01:40:48.350
Okay, that's right.
1906
01:40:48.689 --> 01:40:54.010
So what we do is sometimes we'll watch a football
1907
01:40:54.029 --> 01:40:57.250
game and eat and talk about it. Sometimes, yes, Ellen
1908
01:40:57.310 --> 01:40:59.760
sits there and watches a football game with me. And
1909
01:40:59.800 --> 01:41:03.220
sometimes I'll sit there and watch one of her programs
1910
01:41:03.300 --> 01:41:06.640
or detective shows or whatever, and we'll eat and talk
1911
01:41:06.680 --> 01:41:08.239
about what's going on in the show.
1912
01:41:08.819 --> 01:41:11.300
Okay, I got you. So the reason I'm asking, there
1913
01:41:11.340 --> 01:41:15.090
are still some families who, my late brother, may God
1914
01:41:15.149 --> 01:41:20.140
rest his soul, Steve, he was a real big stickler for,
1915
01:41:20.199 --> 01:41:22.520
you know, when it's time to eat dinner, we're going
1916
01:41:22.539 --> 01:41:23.479
to shut the TV off.
1917
01:41:24.180 --> 01:41:24.380
Yeah.
1918
01:41:24.899 --> 01:41:26.039
And I told him, I said, I don't like that.
1919
01:41:27.479 --> 01:41:29.970
I said, dude, go turn the TV back on. For one,
1920
01:41:30.010 --> 01:41:34.329
you know, it just creates this kind of uncomfortableness. Yeah,
1921
01:41:34.350 --> 01:41:36.710
I think the TV helps to be a conversation starter.
1922
01:41:37.430 --> 01:41:38.149
Could be, could be.
1923
01:41:38.750 --> 01:41:41.310
You know, it just, I need the back, look guys,
1924
01:41:41.680 --> 01:41:43.399
I have background noise while I'm sleeping.
1925
01:41:44.600 --> 01:41:44.979
Are you really?
1926
01:41:45.710 --> 01:41:52.829
Whoa, 100%. I've been listening to the radio before we
1927
01:41:52.869 --> 01:41:55.770
had internet. I mean, there was no way I was
1928
01:41:55.789 --> 01:41:58.409
going to go to bed without the radio on. Coast
1929
01:41:58.430 --> 01:42:01.170
to coast AM, if all y'all know what I'm talking about.
1930
01:42:01.850 --> 01:42:02.569
We used to.
1931
01:42:02.529 --> 01:42:04.970
Listen to that early part of our marriage. Yeah, we
1932
01:42:04.989 --> 01:42:05.750
would do the same thing.
1933
01:42:06.250 --> 01:42:06.850
Yeah, okay.
1934
01:42:07.550 --> 01:42:11.880
So now it's, you know, I love to listen to
1935
01:42:11.909 --> 01:42:14.199
these audio Bible verses at night that kind of tell
1936
01:42:14.260 --> 01:42:17.380
the story of the Bible. But, you know, they're really
1937
01:42:17.399 --> 01:42:20.779
cool to go to sleep to. I would suggest checking
1938
01:42:20.800 --> 01:42:21.579
them out, guys, if you haven't.
1939
01:42:21.920 --> 01:42:24.350
But it's just kind of the same thing.
1940
01:42:24.359 --> 01:42:25.819
I thought I would mention that, you know, when you're
1941
01:42:25.850 --> 01:42:29.590
eating dinner. That's why I was asking Kerry if they
1942
01:42:29.609 --> 01:42:31.350
had to go, you know, shut the TV off, the
1943
01:42:31.369 --> 01:42:34.050
computer off in this case or whatever, so that they
1944
01:42:34.069 --> 01:42:34.869
could eat dinner.
1945
01:42:34.890 --> 01:42:38.770
They have to get away from us. And by the way, Kerry,
1946
01:42:38.789 --> 01:42:40.270
where did Big Luke Nelson go?
1947
01:42:44.520 --> 01:42:47.090
So, Phil, when you take a look, you asked me
1948
01:42:47.130 --> 01:42:53.569
about specifically Region 2-6A. Okay. So Central's got– you take
1949
01:42:53.590 --> 01:42:58.229
a look at Central's schedule. They just got through beating
1950
01:42:58.609 --> 01:43:02.619
Lee County pretty bad. So ahead of them, they've got–
1951
01:43:02.649 --> 01:43:06.119
they're at home this week against veterans. Then they're going
1952
01:43:06.140 --> 01:43:09.039
to be at Houston County. They're going to be hosting
1953
01:43:09.100 --> 01:43:12.180
Tift County. And then the big one, they're going to
1954
01:43:12.199 --> 01:43:13.260
be hosting coffee.
1955
01:43:13.880 --> 01:43:14.000
Yep.
1956
01:43:16.119 --> 01:43:19.239
Since they're going to be in Thomasville, that game is
1957
01:43:19.279 --> 01:43:20.310
not even going to be close.
1958
01:43:22.489 --> 01:43:23.050
Between who?
1959
01:43:24.489 --> 01:43:25.449
Central and Coffey.
1960
01:43:26.710 --> 01:43:27.390
You don't think it is?
1961
01:43:28.090 --> 01:43:28.750
Not even close.
1962
01:43:30.270 --> 01:43:30.789
I disagree.
1963
01:43:31.609 --> 01:43:35.439
Okay. Now, when you say close, are you talking seven-point game,
1964
01:43:35.479 --> 01:43:36.159
ten-point game?
1965
01:43:37.140 --> 01:43:40.979
Well, that's a good point. I think we have to qualify.
1966
01:43:41.800 --> 01:43:44.920
Nowadays, when you're talking Central, you're talking– A close game
1967
01:43:44.960 --> 01:43:46.119
could be a 21 point difference.
1968
01:43:47.130 --> 01:43:49.210
That's what I mean. Yeah. You have to qualify what
1969
01:43:49.229 --> 01:43:53.210
means close. Yeah. I think with, with like coffee central,
1970
01:43:53.310 --> 01:43:57.430
I think coffee's got a good enough, uh, talent where
1971
01:43:57.449 --> 01:44:02.029
I think they can hold it. Like, uh, yeah, I'm
1972
01:44:02.060 --> 01:44:07.420
thinking like, uh, 35, 14. Yeah. And that's a close
1973
01:44:07.500 --> 01:44:10.979
game for Thomas County central. But I think that's where,
1974
01:44:11.060 --> 01:44:12.359
I think that's where coffee is. Yeah.
1975
01:44:12.720 --> 01:44:16.250
Now I have, I have all kinds of respect for,
1976
01:44:16.449 --> 01:44:19.869
for Mike Coe. You know, I've got his cell phone number. We, we, uh,
1977
01:44:20.850 --> 01:44:22.909
we taught when he first came to, he came on
1978
01:44:22.949 --> 01:44:25.340
my show. I did an interview with him, that kind
1979
01:44:25.359 --> 01:44:28.939
of stuff.
So, um, I respect the heck of what
1980
01:44:28.979 --> 01:44:31.659
he's done in, in coffee Canada. Earlier, a while ago, you,
1981
01:44:31.779 --> 01:44:33.760
you made a point where, you know, when a long
1982
01:44:33.840 --> 01:44:36.939
time head coach leaves, sometimes the program will just go south.
1983
01:44:38.050 --> 01:44:42.090
When Robbie Pruitt left coffee, Mike Coe takes over. It
1984
01:44:42.170 --> 01:44:46.470
not only didn't go south, It got even better, right?
1985
01:44:46.869 --> 01:44:50.029
So that speaks volumes to what Coe has been able
1986
01:44:50.069 --> 01:44:53.170
to do in Coffey County. He's really taken that program
1987
01:44:53.289 --> 01:44:54.069
up another notch.
1988
01:44:55.689 --> 01:44:55.869
Yeah.
1989
01:44:56.409 --> 01:45:02.279
But so has Central, right? And Coffey is just right now,
1990
01:45:02.380 --> 01:45:05.479
I believe. Now, Chris Pace, some of you Coffey fans,
1991
01:45:05.659 --> 01:45:08.060
Stephen Tate can correct me if I'm wrong, but I
1992
01:45:08.100 --> 01:45:12.140
just see Coffey's two big strengths. They're pretty good defensively.
1993
01:45:13.250 --> 01:45:15.869
And they're really, really good at running the ball as well.
1994
01:45:18.130 --> 01:45:23.439
So when you look at a matchup with Thomas County Central,
1995
01:45:24.600 --> 01:45:30.479
is Coffey's running game enough to overcome Central's defense? That's
1996
01:45:30.500 --> 01:45:34.619
really what it boils down to. And is Coffey's defense
1997
01:45:35.359 --> 01:45:41.050
enough to not just slow down Central's really good offense,
1998
01:45:41.890 --> 01:45:45.710
but can they slow down Central's offense and contain Aiden
1999
01:45:45.750 --> 01:45:49.829
McPherson at the same time? And so you might be
2000
01:45:49.850 --> 01:45:52.170
able to be successful at one of those things, but
2001
01:45:52.210 --> 01:45:54.029
I don't think they're going to be successful at both
2002
01:45:54.050 --> 01:45:54.609
of those things.
2003
01:45:55.170 --> 01:45:55.350
Yeah.
2004
01:45:55.550 --> 01:45:58.119
And so because of that, it's going to be close
2005
01:45:58.159 --> 01:46:02.140
to begin with, but Central will start pulling away about
2006
01:46:02.260 --> 01:46:04.500
midway through the second quarter and they won't look back.
2007
01:46:05.000 --> 01:46:08.159
Yeah, I agree with that. I wouldn't disagree with that
2008
01:46:08.180 --> 01:46:10.600
at all. I think it'll be a little bit closer, though.
2009
01:46:11.329 --> 01:46:14.979
I do. I just really think that I think coffee
2010
01:46:15.060 --> 01:46:17.079
is a lot better than people are giving them credit for.
2011
01:46:17.680 --> 01:46:20.140
Yeah. They're a fantastic team.
2012
01:46:20.760 --> 01:46:24.180
Listen, here's what I like about coffee. They got that
2013
01:46:24.340 --> 01:46:26.560
strong running back.
2014
01:46:27.199 --> 01:46:27.380
Yeah.
2015
01:46:28.699 --> 01:46:31.300
And, man, I've seen all those state championship teams that
2016
01:46:31.359 --> 01:46:35.789
Coe had down at Madison. Yeah. I got to be
2017
01:46:35.810 --> 01:46:43.479
honest with you. Madison County under Coe, was almost identical, Larry,
2018
01:46:44.260 --> 01:46:48.659
to what we're seeing from Thomas County Central under Rogers.
2019
01:46:49.420 --> 01:46:49.680
Okay.
2020
01:46:50.159 --> 01:46:53.590
I mean, it was just blowout city, one after another
2021
01:46:53.729 --> 01:46:58.569
after another. Playoffs come, didn't matter. We were going to
2022
01:46:58.590 --> 01:47:01.369
see blowout then. And it just went that way into
2023
01:47:01.449 --> 01:47:03.789
and through the state championship game. None of them were close.
2024
01:47:04.930 --> 01:47:08.470
Here's how I would compare the two. You were more
2025
01:47:08.510 --> 01:47:12.829
familiar with Madison County. than I was. But this is
2026
01:47:12.850 --> 01:47:16.430
the way I see Madison County back then and Thomas
2027
01:47:16.470 --> 01:47:20.729
County Central now under Justin Rogers. Like it or not,
2028
01:47:21.710 --> 01:47:23.810
both were destination schools for athletes.
2029
01:47:25.409 --> 01:47:25.649
True.
2030
01:47:27.489 --> 01:47:31.340
You combine that with excellent coaching at both of those schools.
2031
01:47:32.100 --> 01:47:36.159
That is a deadly combination field. When you have great coaching,
2032
01:47:37.000 --> 01:47:39.939
really good facilities, and now all of a sudden you
2033
01:47:40.000 --> 01:47:43.800
are a destination school for transfers? I mean, that's a
2034
01:47:43.880 --> 01:47:45.800
recipe for fantastic success.
2035
01:47:46.340 --> 01:47:50.960
Oh, no doubt about it. No doubt about it. Okay,
2036
01:47:51.000 --> 01:47:54.520
Justin Kalahealy offered some comments here. Going to be interesting
2037
01:47:54.560 --> 01:47:57.140
for Fitzgerald moving forward if the rumors are true.
2038
01:47:57.720 --> 01:47:59.439
Transfer portal is alive and well.
2039
01:47:59.479 --> 01:48:00.159
It'll help Coffey.
2040
01:48:02.199 --> 01:48:06.020
So they're hinting that did a running back transfer from
2041
01:48:06.090 --> 01:48:07.850
Fitzgerald to Coffey? Is that what they're talking about?
2042
01:48:08.210 --> 01:48:08.670
I'm not sure.
2043
01:48:10.850 --> 01:48:15.659
Randolph Clay over everyone, 5-0, but seriously has to be
2044
01:48:15.680 --> 01:48:19.510
the most impressive thing to start the season across the board. Yep.
2045
01:48:19.520 --> 01:48:24.800
they're doing really well. All right, Jose Badia. Steve Dvorzny
2046
01:48:25.000 --> 01:48:29.710
is Coach Rogers' mentor. Coach Rogers was his offensive coordinator
2047
01:48:29.789 --> 01:48:31.770
at Griffin when they won it all. I did not
2048
01:48:31.909 --> 01:48:32.329
know that.
2049
01:48:32.350 --> 01:48:35.619
I didn't know that. Wow. Wow, how about that? Man,
2050
01:48:35.649 --> 01:48:37.090
what a coaching tree Dvorzny's got.
2051
01:48:37.470 --> 01:48:43.850
No kidding. Did
not know about that. Hmm, that's interesting. Yeah.
2052
01:48:44.569 --> 01:48:45.789
Makes a lot of sense, though, doesn't it?
2053
01:48:46.170 --> 01:48:46.869
Yeah.
2054
01:48:48.630 --> 01:48:54.869
Well, how about that? Did not know that. Veterans is
2055
01:48:54.970 --> 01:49:00.010
TCC's homecoming this week. Yep, we knew that. D. Mitch,
2056
01:49:00.510 --> 01:49:05.699
TCC back-to-back. Certainly looking that way. Certainly looking that way.
2057
01:49:06.920 --> 01:49:11.289
Kerry Claverin says, man. It was pork chops and applesauce.
2058
01:49:12.329 --> 01:49:15.149
Pork chops and applesauce. Man, I could use a honey
2059
01:49:15.170 --> 01:49:15.989
bun right about now.
2060
01:49:17.569 --> 01:49:20.189
Now, do you know where pork chops and applesauce comes from, Larry?
2061
01:49:23.609 --> 01:49:24.510
Is this a trick question?
2062
01:49:25.729 --> 01:49:27.010
Well, no.
2063
01:49:27.090 --> 01:49:28.829
Is that like a saying that you're asking me about?
2064
01:49:29.890 --> 01:49:35.369
Not necessarily, but it is an often repeated moment from
2065
01:49:35.949 --> 01:49:37.029
pop culture.
2066
01:49:38.939 --> 01:49:41.159
Oh, I am not familiar with that. Where does it
2067
01:49:41.199 --> 01:49:41.479
come from?
2068
01:49:43.189 --> 01:49:44.510
Man, see, I'm trying to figure out how to tell
2069
01:49:44.529 --> 01:49:46.770
you without telling you.
2070
01:49:47.149 --> 01:49:50.289
So, Justin is saying, yes, supposedly the running back from
2071
01:49:50.329 --> 01:49:52.810
his chair withdrew today and is going to coffee.
2072
01:49:54.489 --> 01:49:55.210
Wow.
2073
01:49:55.510 --> 01:49:57.609
I mean, that is a game changer right there.
2074
01:49:57.630 --> 01:50:01.909
Well, here's the thing about it. Coffee has already got
2075
01:50:01.949 --> 01:50:03.930
that big, bruising running back.
2076
01:50:04.930 --> 01:50:07.850
What Justin is saying, it could be a two-headed running
2077
01:50:07.890 --> 01:50:10.729
attack now because you've got a big, bruising running back
2078
01:50:10.909 --> 01:50:13.260
with this guy that's got some tremendous speed.
2079
01:50:13.920 --> 01:50:16.479
And, boy, let me tell you, the guy at Fitzgerald
2080
01:50:16.720 --> 01:50:20.600
is divine LT or LT divine. I've been talking with
2081
01:50:20.619 --> 01:50:23.680
his dad a good bit. I mean, he is a
2082
01:50:24.140 --> 01:50:28.109
one-man wrecking crew for Fitzgerald, or at least he has been. So, yeah,
2083
01:50:28.149 --> 01:50:31.770
that's going to create quite the formidable pair. And, boy,
2084
01:50:31.789 --> 01:50:37.039
wouldn't it be something to go into TCC with those two,
2085
01:50:37.060 --> 01:50:39.859
that two-headed monster? Hold on a second.
2086
01:50:40.039 --> 01:50:43.460
You're talking about a lightning and thunder combination.
2087
01:50:43.899 --> 01:50:45.659
That's right. All right, so do you know the pork
2088
01:50:45.699 --> 01:50:46.520
chops and applesauce?
2089
01:50:46.899 --> 01:50:48.340
No, no, no. Where does that come from?
2090
01:50:48.800 --> 01:50:52.279
We've got to answer this. Okay, does anybody out there
2091
01:50:52.300 --> 01:50:57.090
know where pork chops and applesauce comes from?
2092
01:50:57.560 --> 01:50:59.369
Is that from a movie or a show?
2093
01:50:59.810 --> 01:51:00.170
A show.
2094
01:51:04.069 --> 01:51:04.869
The Big Bang Theory.
2095
01:51:05.670 --> 01:51:08.810
No, you're not too far. Well, you're only about 30
2096
01:51:08.810 --> 01:51:17.520
years old. Okay. Jerry Claiborne, do you know where it's at?
2097
01:51:18.239 --> 01:51:22.560
Jerry or Jose Badia, anybody? I don't mind the TV
2098
01:51:22.600 --> 01:51:24.500
during meals in the background, but I get on to
2099
01:51:24.520 --> 01:51:26.460
my boys by putting the phone down when we eat.
2100
01:51:26.500 --> 01:51:32.750
That's cool. By the way, J.E. Woods, Brayson. Right, J.E.? J.E.? Yeah.
2101
01:51:33.470 --> 01:51:36.529
So Robbie Hopkins is asking a good question. He's basically
2102
01:51:36.609 --> 01:51:40.250
asking about this player transfer, supposedly transfer, I'll put it
2103
01:51:40.289 --> 01:51:43.189
that way. So how can he play immediately? And this
2104
01:51:43.250 --> 01:51:47.039
applies to anybody. If you have a bona fide move,
2105
01:51:47.159 --> 01:51:52.079
meaning your entire family unit moves from one school district
2106
01:51:52.760 --> 01:52:00.359
to another, they're eligible immediately. That's how you do it. Yeah.
2107
01:52:01.180 --> 01:52:08.609
A bonafide move. Complete family unit. Does anybody want to
2108
01:52:08.770 --> 01:52:12.789
answer the question? Pork chops and applesauce.
2109
01:52:16.010 --> 01:52:17.880
I'm going to Google it.
2110
01:52:18.800 --> 01:52:20.000
No, don't do that.
2111
01:52:20.180 --> 01:52:22.479
Because I've already guessed wrong. I have no idea where
2112
01:52:22.520 --> 01:52:23.000
it comes from.
2113
01:52:23.399 --> 01:52:26.659
Oh, it's the Brady Bunch. Oh. Alice.
2114
01:52:28.479 --> 01:52:30.039
You remember Alice the maid?
2115
01:52:30.060 --> 01:52:30.140
Yeah.
2116
01:52:32.300 --> 01:52:34.189
What years was that on TV, Phil?
2117
01:52:34.930 --> 01:52:38.529
Oh, Larry. The Brady Bunch.
2118
01:52:40.029 --> 01:52:43.569
I know who they are, but I can't remember watching them.
2119
01:52:43.890 --> 01:52:47.369
Well, I'll answer it this way. I know the Brady
2120
01:52:47.430 --> 01:52:50.850
Bunch was very popular when I was in.
2121
01:52:51.300 --> 01:52:54.600
Phil.
2122
01:52:55.239 --> 01:52:55.439
What?
2123
01:52:56.420 --> 01:52:58.779
Man, that show ended when I was four years old.
2124
01:53:01.189 --> 01:53:04.149
Gosh, I got to remember the age difference.
2125
01:53:04.289 --> 01:53:11.310
I'm sorry. Kerry Claiborne got it. Kerry Claiborne, J.E. Woods
2126
01:53:11.369 --> 01:53:14.609
got it. So Mike, the father.
2127
01:53:14.649 --> 01:53:18.399
Goes and asks Alice, Alice, what's for dinner tonight?
2128
01:53:18.800 --> 01:53:19.020
Yeah.
2129
01:53:19.399 --> 01:53:24.800
She says, we're going to have pork chops and applesauce.
2130
01:53:29.170 --> 01:53:31.109
And to be honest with you, now anytime I go
2131
01:53:31.130 --> 01:53:34.210
into a restaurant and they say, I ask, what have
2132
01:53:34.250 --> 01:53:36.770
you got? They're like, oh, we're having pork chops. And
2133
01:53:36.810 --> 01:53:40.390
I'll say, yeah, you mean pork chops and applesauce?
2134
01:53:40.569 --> 01:53:41.770
And no one gets it, do they?
2135
01:53:42.149 --> 01:53:46.010
They have no idea what I'm talking about. But that
2136
01:53:46.350 --> 01:53:51.090
is something that became like a pop culture icon.
2137
01:53:51.430 --> 01:53:51.909
Sure.
2138
01:53:52.609 --> 01:53:57.529
But listen, Justin Kalahealy said it was from 1915.
2139
01:53:57.529 --> 01:54:01.859
Phil, I'll give you something that's very recognizable from my era.
2140
01:54:02.359 --> 01:54:02.500
Yeah.
2141
01:54:02.520 --> 01:54:02.739
Okay?
2142
01:54:03.399 --> 01:54:04.640
Yeah. Okay.
2143
01:54:04.760 --> 01:54:12.539
Can anybody recognize this phrase? Pivot! Pivot! Do you know
2144
01:54:12.560 --> 01:54:13.539
what I'm talking about?
2145
01:54:13.579 --> 01:54:13.840
Not quite.
2146
01:54:14.399 --> 01:54:15.939
Anybody in the audience know what I'm talking about?
2147
01:54:17.149 --> 01:54:18.069
Yeah, you lost me on that one.
2148
01:54:18.829 --> 01:54:23.630
Yeah, there was a very popular TV series called Friends, right?
2149
01:54:23.949 --> 01:54:24.250
Oh, okay.
2150
01:54:24.449 --> 01:54:27.079
And there was a character on Friends called named Ross,
2151
01:54:27.199 --> 01:54:30.380
and they were moving a couch up a flight of stairs,
2152
01:54:30.880 --> 01:54:33.600
and that was the phrase they got, pivot, pivot.
2153
01:54:36.199 --> 01:54:39.739
But now, all right, so let's go back to that. But, Kerry,
2154
01:54:39.920 --> 01:54:43.520
the Brady Bunch, I'm sorry, Larry, Kerry Claiborne is pointing out,
2155
01:54:43.760 --> 01:54:48.470
the Brady Bunch was replayed in syndication all throughout the 80s.
2156
01:54:49.300 --> 01:54:53.619
You've got to remember, Phil, I'm from the backwoods of
2157
01:54:53.659 --> 01:54:55.819
Berrien County. We had no cable TVs.
2158
01:54:56.949 --> 01:55:00.689
Oh, okay. Yeah, okay.
2159
01:55:00.770 --> 01:55:03.659
Unless it was on three channels, I wasn't watching it.
2160
01:55:04.170 --> 01:55:06.909
Well, I'll tell you what. There used to be the
2161
01:55:07.359 --> 01:55:12.539
early morning before school sort of shows.
2162
01:55:12.619 --> 01:55:14.380
I think they were on the Superstation.
2163
01:55:16.060 --> 01:55:25.489
And it was Three Stooges, Gilligan's Island, Brady Bunch, The Munsters,
2164
01:55:27.710 --> 01:55:28.869
It was kind of those shows.
2165
01:55:30.430 --> 01:55:34.210
And I think that's where we're at. But anyway, I'm sorry, man.
2166
01:55:34.229 --> 01:55:37.090
We got off on a tangent here about shows, pork
2167
01:55:37.109 --> 01:55:37.970
chops and applesauce.
2168
01:55:38.029 --> 01:55:40.529
It was all started by Kerry Claver in his dinner.
2169
01:55:40.840 --> 01:55:44.500
That's right. Well, speaking of dinner, Phil, I've got to
2170
01:55:44.539 --> 01:55:47.039
go get some honey buns or something. It's 8 o'clock.
2171
01:55:47.079 --> 01:55:49.500
Oh, it's 8 o'clock. Gosh, it's time to take that phone. But, yeah, guys,
2172
01:55:49.520 --> 01:55:51.560
that is going to do it for us here. Man,
2173
01:55:51.600 --> 01:55:54.140
what a great show. You guys stayed with us for
2174
01:55:54.220 --> 01:56:00.180
two hours. We've talked about everything from food to football
2175
01:56:01.619 --> 01:56:06.560
to Little Debbie snack cakes. These are ding-dongs. I'm going
2176
01:56:06.600 --> 01:56:07.770
to have me one, by the way.
2177
01:56:08.170 --> 01:56:11.369
Justin Kyle Haley wins tonight's dinner talk because he says,
2178
01:56:11.670 --> 01:56:14.850
you had Ray's Mill Pond, though. And that's a winner
2179
01:56:14.909 --> 01:56:17.449
right there. That's Ray's Mill Pond. You still got it?
2180
01:56:17.829 --> 01:56:19.449
Some of the best fried catfish around.
2181
01:56:21.060 --> 01:56:21.859
I've never been there.
2182
01:56:22.800 --> 01:56:24.279
We got to go. My treat, Phil.
2183
01:56:24.600 --> 01:56:24.779
Okay.
2184
01:56:24.800 --> 01:56:26.470
Okay. All right, let's do it. Yeah.
2185
01:56:26.850 --> 01:56:28.630
Didn't it just open on weekends or something, Larry?
2186
01:56:29.090 --> 01:56:34.010
Yeah, I think Thursday night. I can't remember what their
2187
01:56:34.050 --> 01:56:34.449
hours are.
2188
01:56:34.470 --> 01:56:38.399
All right, so let me see here. So Kerry Claiborne
2189
01:56:38.640 --> 01:56:44.859
got it. Robbie Hopkins got it. J.E. Woods got it.
2190
01:56:45.500 --> 01:56:46.720
Just Kyle Haley said it was from 1915.
2191
01:56:46.699 --> 01:56:52.359
That's pretty cool. Jim Blair said it was Peter. I
2192
01:56:52.380 --> 01:56:54.560
thought it was Mike, the dad. Yeah.
2193
01:56:57.000 --> 01:56:58.729
Tony Nguyen got it, a TCC fan.
2194
01:57:00.010 --> 01:57:03.350
So Kerry Klamer says, of course Larry watched Friends. Come on, Kerry,
2195
01:57:03.390 --> 01:57:05.449
you know you watched it too. Everybody in the world
2196
01:57:05.729 --> 01:57:06.369
watched Friends.
2197
01:57:07.390 --> 01:57:08.029
See you, Justin.
2198
01:57:08.329 --> 01:57:10.090
Good to see you, man. Jessica O'Haley, have a good
2199
01:57:10.130 --> 01:57:12.109
one too, buddy. Now, I got to be honest with you, Larry.
2200
01:57:12.229 --> 01:57:13.779
I was not a Friends guy.
2201
01:57:14.159 --> 01:57:14.880
What?
2202
01:57:15.680 --> 01:57:24.140
I was more, let me see here. So do you–
2203
01:57:24.329 --> 01:57:26.989
I'm trying to think. I never really got into sitcoms
2204
01:57:27.149 --> 01:57:32.670
except my sitcom days were Frasier, Cheers, The Office.
2205
01:57:33.270 --> 01:57:40.920
Yeah. Frasier, Cheers, The Cosby Show was really big back
2206
01:57:40.960 --> 01:57:43.699
in the day. So, yeah, good stuff. Anyway.
2207
01:57:43.760 --> 01:57:46.180
Just Kyle Haley says that Ray's meal plan is Thursday
2208
01:57:46.199 --> 01:57:47.420
through Saturday. That's what I thought.
2209
01:57:47.659 --> 01:57:48.399
There you go.
2210
01:57:48.560 --> 01:57:50.960
And I will say this before we go. J.E. Wood
2211
01:57:51.000 --> 01:57:55.899
says– and he's right– Lest we leave out those darn
2212
01:57:56.010 --> 01:57:59.590
Swiss cake rolls. Yeah. Oh.
2213
01:57:59.989 --> 01:58:00.390
They're good.
2214
01:58:00.590 --> 01:58:02.989
Good. That's a good one to leave on you. Man,
2215
01:58:03.050 --> 01:58:06.210
those things are the bomb. All right, we got to go.
2216
01:58:06.350 --> 01:58:06.850
I'm getting hungry.
2217
01:58:07.229 --> 01:58:09.189
Guys, thank you all so much. Big thanks to the
2218
01:58:09.229 --> 01:58:09.789
Houston Clinic.
2219
01:58:11.180 --> 01:58:11.439
Dr.
2220
01:58:11.479 --> 01:58:13.039
Kevin Collins, our sponsor.
2221
01:58:13.600 --> 01:58:16.359
Don't forget Friday night, our scoreboard show brought to you
2222
01:58:16.380 --> 01:58:18.489
by Community Bank of Georgia. Larry?
2223
01:58:19.609 --> 01:58:21.550
Yeah, man.
2224
01:58:21.569 --> 01:58:22.369
Y'all play Friday night?
2225
01:58:22.390 --> 01:58:22.750
Where you at?
2226
01:58:23.989 --> 01:58:26.810
Well, we're taking on a powerhouse, Winter Haven, Florida.
2227
01:58:28.689 --> 01:58:29.350
Oh, my gosh.
2228
01:58:30.880 --> 01:58:34.550
With that said, God bless every one of you guys.
2229
01:58:34.729 --> 01:58:36.340
And as always, go Vikings.
2230
01:58:36.840 --> 01:58:37.300
See you, Larry.
2231
01:58:37.520 --> 01:58:39.380
Thanks for joining me, buddy. Bye, guys.
