All right, it's Brandon Walker calls for ball show hosted by Liam Blutman I am sitting in for Liam tonight. I'm of course Brandon Walker Liam not here tonight Liam actually had a case of explosive Bolivian diarrhea. It was unfortunate. I don't know why it was Bolivian but when he left the office. He said. It was screaming out of all three ends which I don't even know what that meant but that's what Liam is dealing with God bless the people of Bolivia and God bless Liam Blutman so hopefully he gets better soon and I'll host the show until he gets back what's up everybody on the chat I got oh hey hey hey what's up hey yeah I rushed out the bathroom. It's like World War three in there the Bolivians versus the US it's bad. It's really bad like what's Cassidy in the Sundance kid texture. He'll get that. All right, so hello chat. We got Burl C and for our bourbon and committee V2 and hookdown chronic. That's unfortunate. Welcome to the chat. Welcome to everybody watching on YouTube. Welcome to everybody listening on the podcast tomorrow morning. Hopefully again I envision this as a podcast first that we happen to put out on YouTube. So I like the fact that you guys are watching we're up at about 66,000 YouTube subscribers hoping to get to 100,000 subscribers very soon. We've added 13,000 subscribers since last Monday when we started back. So we got that surviving bar still is coming up at the top of the hour. I will get out of the way for that. We have RG three coming up on this show. RG three coming up in about 30 minutes. Got my timing. I got to get out here at 6.33. It is 6.03 meaning I got 30 minutes to talk all my bullshit before RG three gets here. We talk about him. Thomas C. Mellon says shut up and talk ball. Thank you. You fat titty bitch. Welcome. Welcome. So we're going to talk ball and tonight we're going to talk to topics and then we're going to do voicemails and I got to be honest voicemails. You're on the you might be on the chopping line a little bit. You might be you might be on the chopping line like I envision voicemails being good and being funny and being good questions. We've got a couple of good questions, but mostly we've gotten a bunch of bullshit. A bunch of just stupid ass bullshit. This ain't fucking Tom Farnelli. This ain't Josh Payt. This ain't mother fucking any old Tom Dicker Harry. Talk about Brandon fucking Walker. All right. This is B. So bring it. You don't just fucking come up here and say any old bullshit. You got to come. You got to bring it. And that way I'll get you on the show. Otherwise I got to chop you. All right. Here we go. This is what we're going to do tonight. I was on a wake up bar stool with Liam Blutman meek Phil by the grace of God meek Phil. Meek Phil day, Fort Noi and T. Bob Hebert today. They did an NFL topic called, um, is this the year? Is this the year? This happens this year? That happens. I thought that is a great fucking question. And I am stealing that idea for my college football show. So Liam Blutman, I have deputized to come up with eight. Is this the years for me to answer? I have not seen these questions. All I know is Liam Blutman. The host of this show has eight questions. He's about to ask me starting with the phrase. Is this the year Liam? Are you ready? Yes, I am right. I'd also like to say thank you to our super chatters, Brandon Walker. $50 just came through from what apps. So thank you to our super chat. Where is that money going? I don't know, Doug Wattley, I think takes it all and uses it for an end of the year party. Your green light on your microphone is very, very frustrating and it is getting distracting me. And my green light is not as distracting because it's just a little bit. Okay, I'm sorry. I'll use the microphone upside down. Brown Walker. Is this the year that the SEC wins the national championship again? The big 10 has won three in a row. My immediate answer to that just thinking off top of my head is no. I don't think this is the year the SEC breaks back through. And I think who are the main national title contenders last week. I think there are five real deal elite big time national championship contenders. And I think three of them were in the big 10. I think Oregon Ohio State Indiana out of the big 10. I think Georgia, Texas out of the SEC, you go to seven. I add Notre Dame. I add Miami. Those are seven bona fide big time national title contenders. Again, I got two in the SEC three in the big 10. I got an Oregon team whose hungry who's never done it before. I got no Ohio State team and Indiana team who have done it before. So I've got both of those things weighing on me. Now I got over here. I got Georgia and Texas. Texas never done it before. Georgia hadn't done it in what four years now, five years. That's not a very long time. They know how to do it. I can add Oklahoma because I think Oklahoma's national title contender. But if you ask me to bet Georgia, Texas or Oregon Indiana Ohio State. I believe I'm going to be safe and betting Oregon Indiana Ohio State. So my gut reaction is no. This is not the year the SEC breaks back through Wednesday national championship. All right, Brian Walker. What are your thoughts on that? Very, very quickly. Give me your 12 second thoughts on that. Very quickly. I think I'm Ryan with Georgia all year this year, but I know how this ends. Mike Bobo is going to make me a depressed man in January. Yeah, I like Georgia. I just the wild factor of the athletes isn't what it was in 2022. It's good, but it's just not. They don't pop off the page and pop off the screen like they did in 2022. Defensively, defensively hours. I don't see La Mcconkey. I don't see George Pickens defensively. They got some dudes in the back end, especially, but where are the past rushers? It's supposed to scare me to death. I don't see. I think defensively they're going to scare you at death this year offensively. Mike Bobo's got figured out. Brian Walker number two. Yes, this is the year Notre Dame gets back to the top of the mountain. Meaning when's the national title? I would say no. May I say may I say something since there's a microphone here and I spent dozens of dollars on the set. I don't know that I believe in Marcus Freeman's ability to break through faster than say a damn landing or faster than say Steve Sarkeesian. I think he has done a good job of stabilizing that program and keeping them up in the mix. But last year they had a two game season. They lost both games. They gave up 41 points to Marcel Reed at home in order to miss the playoff. They lost to Miami on the road. Sure. But that's they had a two game season and they blew it and then outside of the year they did play for a national title. Shout out to them. They have some inexplicable losses in his tenure there and I'm not sure I'm ready to to say he is one of the elite of the elite of the elite of the elite coaches. Now I say that knowing full well he's got the talent in the quarterback to make me look stupid this year. So I'll put it out there. I don't believe he's the guy to do it. I also said that about cursing that he never defending national champs. So there you go. You're five second take on that Liam. Thank you to our most recent super chatter also $50 Brian Vogel. That's my take. We don't need. I listen. May I say something? Yeah. Go ahead. God bless the super chatters. I appreciate them. I'm neither and I'm neither suggesting nor encouraging them to do super chats. They can talk in the chat for free. I don't I don't care. I don't need to see super chats. you can just chat in there. for free. Sometimes I'll read it, sometimes I won't. So if you want to give us your money, go ahead, but I don't want to stop the flow of the show for super chats. That's, that's what I want to do. I'm not selling out for money. I'm not, I'm not McDonald's for God's sake. Number three, please. Someone other than Texas Tech wins the big 12, is this the year? Okay. So I know we got quarterback issues in Lubbock. And they will say, no, oh, we got the same guy, we got a guy, we got a guy, yeah, if you had a guy, you wouldn't have absolutely tried to move mountains to get another guy. You wouldn't have actually, absolutely stared down the NCAA and said, no, we're going to play our guy. And then you backed off. Here's what I think about the big 12. I think there's 16 teams. I think 15 of them think they're going to be really good this year, whether they're right or they're wrong, 15 of them think they're going to be pretty good. I think Texas Tech is the best throughout the entire roster. BYU is probably second, but I don't know that I saw anything out of BYU and both times they got a chance to Texas Tech last year to make me believe they can beat them. I don't think Oklahoma State added enough in the interim to beat them. I don't think Arizona has enough to beat them. I like Houston a lot. I don't think they have enough to beat Texas Tech when it counts. So no, this is not the year or someone other than Texas Tech wins the big 12. They go back to back and win the big 12 once again. That's what I say. That's what I think. Tech is one whole big, big 12 championship. Yeah, but it was the last one. And that team is kind of the team that's going to be going at it again. Number four, Liam. Does Miami finally win the ACC? If Miami doesn't win the ACC, I'm almost struggling to put together an if in the scenario because I cannot see any confluence of events that ends up in anything but Miami won the ACC. Now, maybe this is one of those stupid years where Clemson makes us think they're not very good and they come out of nowhere and they're just great. Maybe this is one of those years where Louisville with the easy schedule gets every break and they win it. And yeah, Miami was by far and away the best team in the ACC last year. It wasn't even closer and they didn't win the conference. So Miami, it's kind of figured out a way to be great without winning the ACC, which is bizarre. But yeah, they, yes, they win it. There's no way, Liam, if they don't win it, who wins it? That's what I was going to ask you. The only answer in my opinion is, right? No, I'm not an SMU guy. Like I am an SMU guy, but I'm not an SMU believer. I don't believe in Kevin James, like people believe in Kevin James. Here's the problem to, to, to, to win the ACC over Miami. You're going to have to beat Miami in the ACC championship game. I don't see it. I don't see if there's much on the schedule that's going to keep them out of that game. It's not like last year when Duke didn't have to beat them. I don't think it's going to be. Maybe a miracle happens and you got Virginia Duke again in the ACC championship. Maybe you got Louisville SMU rematching in the championship game. But I don't see a world where two ACC teams beat Miami and they, they missed the title game again. I, they're, they're too good. They're too loaded. They're too everything to not win this version of the ACC. It, that, that sentence was eerily similar to what we said about Clemson last year. Yeah, no, that's, that's what I think. That does Miami shoot themselves in the foot question or not. I thought I thought Clemson was going to absolutely boat race the ACC last year. I thought they were going to absolutely smoke them. I thought this was the best Clemson team in a while. And then they immediately fall in their face. But like, dabbo has been showing signs of rust for a while. And crystal ball isn't showing that. That's, that's what I think. Anyway, I got a lot of ads to do before we get any further. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Did you hear that? Little shaky voice. Mondays might be a challenge, but they're not a challenge for getting a hard dick. That's how I start this ad. This episode is sponsored by Blutschew.

Have you all seen the Wade Box that's going around the the internet right now? I know he's not a college football guy. Did you see him, Liam? Liam? Liam? Yeah, that guy could play for my football team tomorrow. Yeah, but he got it wrong. He's supposed to use the steroids while he was playing baseball. Yeah, it's an interesting tactic to use it for fishing, huh? You don't wait till 25 years after to get juiced up. He looks like you're about third in the Giants lineup right now. Look at, look at Wade Box. Wade Box was a slap hitter. Wade Box hit 350 and hit 200 singles. Jesus Christ, Wade Box. It's settled down, buddy. All right, is this the year? Number five, go. Is this year that Lincoln, Riley and USC breakthrough? My gut reaction is shame on you for asking shame on me for considering it. Shame on everybody for believing it is possible. At what point do we all look each other in the eye and say it probably ain't happening? The reports we're getting this year are just the same as every report we ever get. The offense is loaded. Heisman trophy contender at quarterbacks. Sure, we heard that with Miller muscle a couple of years ago. Now we're hearing him with Jayden Mojave and we know my my off is good. But every single year, it's man, if he had this defense last year, boy, they've got dudes on defense now. Man, if you've seen the defense USC has and every single fucking year, every single year, we show up to play actual games and the defense is paper soft. It is thin. The quarterback is good, but he can't keep up in 45, 35 games every single week. I believe we can rally is a good offensive coach. I believe Jayden Mojave is probably the top five quarterback in this country. I will not believe that the USC defense is ready to turn them into a 10 win playoff team. I just can't do it. Are you there? Can you do it? I I don't think we're making a big enough deal about the six game stretch that USC plays in the middle and the me and potatoes of the season. Go who is it? They're hosting organ, they're hosting Washington. They're going at Penn State. They're going at Wisconsin. They're hosting Ohio State. They're playing at Indiana. That's six straight games brand walker. Very charitable to put at Wisconsin in there. If I'm just, is it that right before you post the Ohio state on Halloween weekend, you know a trap game exists. Don't lie. And there it is right there on the screen for nobody to see. It's in what is this a schedule for ants? What what is this? There we go. What why do we expect kids to read good if they can't fit inside the damn building? All right. What you just said, they got Washington at USC, October 3rd at Wisconsin, October 24th. I think I missed one already up there at Indiana. They got you see, oh, I'm going, I need to go side to side, don't I? Washington at home. Then they got Penn State on the road. Then they got Wisconsin on the road. And they got Ohio State at home. Then they got Indiana on the road. And then Maryland at home. Yeah, it's a tough schedule. That's why it's a brutal stretch. You think their defense is going on the road to Indiana and fucking with Josh Hoover? I don't I don't think that. Remember when they were good last year? We thought, Oh, here they are. Then they go on the road to champagne. Yeah, they end up and Luke Altmeyer just ripped them. Mm-hmm. That's very vividly. That's what I remember too. I'm glad you remember it. Thank you. We have great memories that go back here. Um, give me what is this the year? Number five. Is this the I don't know. Is this the year that Auburn beats Georgia or Alabama? Boy, oh boy. What a question. Alex Goldish is here. Byron Brown is here, but what's important is who is not here? And that's Hugh Frey just stupid ass. Maybe pound for pound the worst coach in the SEC over the last five years. It is we didn't give enough credit to Hugh Frey's incompetence. The fact that he showed up at Auburn fixed the defense through recruiting and never could score more than four points a game. It was he was supposed to be an offensive genius. He couldn't do it. But could they beat Georgia or Alabama? I believe that Alabama games in Tuscaloosa. So I would I would lean towards no. I don't think he's got the roster good enough to be Georgia yet. He does have the roster. Maybe where it could be Bama, but not in Tuscaloosa. So I'm going to say no. I would give them a 10. No, I'll give them a 4% chance to beat Georgia and a 32% chance of beating Alabama. That's where I that's where I would be. What what do you think? I want to put you on the spot right now. If Auburn does beat Alabama's, that's the last game, counting the boy-ever coaches at Alabama. Yes, I agree. Unless they're 11 to no and it doesn't hurt them in the grand scheme of things. But if it were to cost them a playoff spot or if it were even worse, it takes them to 9-3-8-4 and they lose Auburn at home for the first year coach. Now, it would be very very very hard. They don't fuck around in Alabama. They don't fuck around with eight and four. They don't fuck around with nine and three and they certainly don't fuck around with nine and three eight and four losing to Auburn. So yeah, I think that that would be it. We got about 15 more minutes of meat talking and then we're going to turn it over to my interview with RG3. So I got to tell you all about some things right now.

Is this your running back when's the highs when now I like this question this is a sexy question. I don't know who came up with this question but good good for them. The last time a running back won the highs when if I am correct it is 2015 Derek Henry am I missing one action to a couple of years ago got very very close last year of course was Fernando Mendoza it's an all quarterback award with Devante Smith kind of be in the the outlier there in 2021 2020 excuse me 2020 one 2021 yeah Brian one twenty twenty whatever doesn't matter I'm getting bogged down can a running back win it this year I think there are three candidates and I'm gonna tell you I think I'm mod hearties the only one who could win it if a mod hearty rushes for 1700 yards this year Missouri wins nine games and he has a story of getting shot in the offseason and being great he is going to be a hard hard hard player to beat in the Heisman Q on Lacey and Mark Fletcher are the other two top three running backs in this country both of them have somebody in their way with Mark Fletcher he's got Darian Menta and Malachi Tony in his way if they're dominant I think those guys are gonna have the flash of your plays the bigger moments than Mark Fletcher Q on Lacey has Trinidad Chambers in his way the also doesn't have the coaching he has last year so if Ole Miss does go 11 and one it has a Heisman contender is probably Trinidad Chambers not Q on Lacey that's why I'm odd hearty Missouri's going as he goes therefore he could be the running back to win the Heisman who am I missing who who is who is out there maybe the guy Louisville who who's who's the running back out there that could be a Heisman threat I mean Isaac Brown I think it's gonna have the issue if he's just gonna miss time like he did last year I don't know like legitimately think about it I don't know if there is another guy I think you could I guess say a mod hearty's running back partner Jamal Roberts if hearty doesn't play what if he goes nuclear but I don't know if that guy exists right now maybe just maybe if Texas is like 12 and 0 but no because they're both that man and can't go man yeah and then like the bow Jackson Ohio state has say is no way my smith yeah yeah so I I don't know this isn't a great running back year and it is a great quarterback year so what what was that what was it it's a great year for a running back to break out pop off and make a name for himself yes yes but it is it is there far too many there far too many and can I just speak to the idiot ass Florida fans that they're in the chat run the ball Jaden ball Jaden by hey you're hey over here my blue jeans shorts Jaden ball guys is it not enough for you SEC motherfuckers to have a good player and you can say he's a good player that guy's not a high smith contender that guy rush for 600 less yards than than a mod hearty last year I think 400 less than key one lacy he is not in their in their stratosphere he is a good running back they are elite running backs so this whole Jaden ball over here over here first of all you're not good enough secondly he's not that good he's good he's good he's not a mod hearty he's just not there's way too many camcook comments in the chat too and I'm a camcook guy but if you think the West Virginia running back who transferred from TCU and Jacksonville stay is winning the high's man the big 2026 it's time to really start paying attention to college football how many of those how many more you got we got one more of them left give me one more is this the year's sygnetian indiana get humbled hmm leham a lukey what's your brother's name lukey bring up indiana schedule for me and we got it we got to make this quick my gut says my gut says no obviously they're the schedule like coward's their national champs and they scheduled nobody out of conference because they're they schedule like pussies but inside the conference another play Ohio state but I'd blame at home I think they they can beat them I don't think they have Oregon this year let me just look at this schedule right here so obviously they start off with the power power houses of north Texas Howard and western Kentucky fucking embarrassing if you're going to be a big-time program in the end of fucking act like it anyway northwestern Rutgers Nebraska Ohio State at Michigan Minnesota USC at home at Washington or will they get get humbled no they will not because there's no more than two losses on that schedule they're going to the playoff again that's what I think what do you think yeah I agree yeah there I mean there's not much to say there there no they're loaded on defense they're loaded with the coaches for given 48 you don't schedule a year out Brandon can you all stop offering these bullsh*t excuses for coaches and pussies can you stop that can you stop that shit if they want a schedule a fucking game a schedule a fucking game fucking idiots and even if it's not a year out that's fine for this year look in the future they don't have any plans to play anybody they schedule like cowards they do I'm not saying they play like cowards I'm saying when it comes to going outside the conference approving it they don't want to they just don't want to they're scared of it I don't know why they're great anyway racist is delicious let me pull out my product here I love a good old-fashioned Reese's peanut butter cup it's the best one I know a lot of people like the outrageous a lot of people like the animal crackers a lot of people like all the Reese's products and we certainly have plenty of it their bar stool sports but give me the good old-fashioned peanut butter cup I can stop it again I stationed on a road trip bam peanut butter cup movie theater bam peanut butter cup I love it I love it I love it Reese's is the official candy partner a bar stool sports go get Reese's wherever you shop all right once more into the breach dear friends we go you want to do voicemails I'm gonna get one fast point here and then we're gonna try to get out of here in time for RG3 I got about five minutes no I'm gonna save that point for next time let's do voicemails right now look here I'm gonna give you a chance if these suck we might shop voicemails forever how many you got we got five three one two six eight five 1889 play voicemail number one please Brandon fucking Walker it's your boy Mark and Philly and we are absolutely pumped to have the premiere college football show back on the air I'll start my first question of my many calls in the future off with this who is the surprise team of this year that week 10 week 11 we look up their ranks I don't know 15 through 20 and people are shocked and why is it not the Oklahoma State Cowboys I'll hang it's the Oklahoma State Cow it's not the Oklahoma State Cowboys because they just got to replace too much I got to come too far from the back of the pack I think it might be the Kentucky Wildcats I think it might be the Kentucky Wildcats I like the schedules okay for an SEC team I love what they had it on the offensive line I love the quarterback I like the coach you know I also like my state and I wish I wish I wasn't missing anything because we did which is I would go maybe Kentucky I like Houston a lot but I think people are only Houston I like Louisville a lot I think people are on to Louisville I like Virginia people like like they don't remember Virginia winning 11 games last year who you got for surprise team their bluntman I like Oklahoma State I like Houston I like Louisville I think it's really hard to call Louisville surprise team yeah it's hard it's hard I mean you kind of mentioned it's just a it's kind of hard not to mention UCLA and what we're building in Sammy Ohmosego is as Sammy Ohmosego leader of the defense should be playing in the NFL Brown Walker such a Homer do Brown Walker for the first time in about 15 years such a Homer not 15 12 years UCLA has a football team. I'm excited about voice mail number two, please. Ridiculous. Brandon, this is Greg and Eddie first time caller just wanted to know is it more likely to hire staco's eight and four or undefeated? I like to listen. Very easy question is very is way more likely to go undefeated than eight and four. Why? Because I can't fucking remember the last time Ohio State went eight and four. I know the schedule's tougher. I know they got to have Texas. I know they got to end the end. I'm like, it's a tough schedule, especially for them. So tough schedule, but Julian saying Jeremiah Smith, the weapons they have on offensively on offense, and then they're not going eight and four. And they're not going to have no either, but that's astronomically more likely than eight and four. That's, that's, I appreciate the question. I think it was a well asked question. It's also a ridiculous fucking question. Voice mail number three. Brandon big fan. Thank you. I'm curious. Who do you think is the all time face of college football? I think have to be saving, but if I were to choose a player that I think of when I think of college football, probably say 10 to go. Just curious about. Is it why I'll just say the all time face of college football is the Heisman trophy? Is that a ridiculous thing to say? I know that's not a player. I know it's not a coach. But when I think Heisman, when I think college football, I just think that trophy. I just think that. And I know that's nobody actually remembers the man. They only remember the trophy. That's the immediate thing that came to my mind. I don't think there's one player that sits on top of the sport as far as all of history goes. And I don't think there's one coach that sits on top. And I would say Sabin would be less than like Bear Brian anyway. So that's what I think. I think it's more a collection of helmets and logos like Michigan's helmet, Penn State helmet, Alabama's, you know, stuff like that. I think it's more a case of images and logos as opposed to players and coaches. Um, what's my number three? Four. I don't know. Brandon, glad you're doing the show. Thanks. Got a question more about high school football though for you, sir. Don't be what you're playing for October 1st when the West Point Green Wave decide to fill over to Louisiana and play the Russian Bearcats. I'll hang up and listen. I would say listen to the bloodbath on the radio and the West Point Green Wave beat the shit out of the Rustin Bearcats whoever the fuck the Rustin Bearcats are with you talking about a 14-time state champion in West Point, the best program in the history of Mississippi or are you replacing all 11 starters? Sure, but that doesn't matter where West Point, point city. I'll get one more voicemail then I'll turn it over to RG3 go. Hey Brandon, this is Cody from Salt Lake City. Uh, first time long time. Just wanted to get your thoughts. Utah's got a first time head coach in Morgan Scally. Doesn't seem like there's a ton of expectations throughout the media. Uh, just wanted your thoughts on what to expect from Utah football this year. Thank you. What's a wide open conference? They got one of the best quarterbacks. If you have one of the best quarterbacks and one of the best cultures and I know the last guy has gone but I think the culture is still there. You got quarterback plus culture plus open conference. Utah's going to be in the top three and that league. That's what I think. I don't care what the media says. All right. Lastly, body armor. This episode is brought to you by body armor flash IV. I love to use these in the morning when I'm going golf and I drink two of them. I don't have a headache problem. I get my electrolytes in. Flash IV is packed with electrolytes delivering faster, longer lasting hydration without any artificial dyes, flavors or sweeteners. Whether you're training traveling or just feeling the heat work hard and hydrate hard with body armor flash IV. Grab it at 7-11. All right. I talked to a Heisman Trophy winner last week. Now he's going to be on the show right now. He's one of the best. Uh, he's been on the yak twice. RG3. You've seen him everywhere. You know who RG3 is. Robert Griffin, the third. He joined me from his family vacation in Estonia. So about 25 minutes of him and then we're going right into surviving bar stool. Thank you for watching this part of it. We're going to go right to RG3 podcast listeners. Please make sure you download all do all the stuff like subscribe. YouTube. Please subscribe. Now I'm going to step aside right now. We're going to talk to RG3. Play it, Lukey. All right. I just got back from Texas A&M training camp next week. Of course, I'll be at training camps across the SEC in the big 12. I'm going to be all across this country making sure all the guys are getting right. And that's what we're doing this time of year. All the college football guys and all the we're all out here grinding man. We're getting ready for the season. And uh, one of the one of the main grinders I know is out there. Of course, it's uh, it's former Heisman Trophy winner. Robert Griffin, the third and joining us right now is RG3. He's the face of the new Yahoo sports campaign back to school celebrating the launch of Yahoo college fantasy football. I got into that more later. But RG3, welcome. Where are you right now? Are you uh, are you in the big 12? Are you in the AAC? Where are you at in the world right now? Um, man, listen, I am in Estonia right now. My wife is Estonian. We come over here every summer and it's our last trip before the season starts. So we're grinding. We're grinding over here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And when you say it's a little trip, you'll be there what six or seven weeks. You'll be back by week five of the college football season, right? No, it's about a two week trip. Yeah. But uh, I want to say congratulations to you though. Really? On the on the new football show. I'm excited for you, man. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Uh, now RG3 has been on the AAC a couple of times on bar stool. And he's always sat next to me. And every single time he's on, we have the most ridiculous conversations. And I just remember looking over, I remember looking over at RG3 and thinking, you're better than this, man. You're, you, you don't need to be here for this shit. And that's that's what I remember about RG3. Um, is that how you remember your AAC appearances? No, I would say that you guys are fun to be around. Yeah. And you can never take your tests that you yourself too seriously. So that is one thing that that I feel like I, I think I do decent job of and having fun with you guys is always a good time. Well, let's talk some football because you are, you know, Heisman Trophy went in. You've been around the game. You know exactly what you're talking about. I want to ask individually as we go into the season, who are some guys you're looking at? Who are some individual players that you're looking at? Because you all the season that you won the Heisman Trophy. Uh, you know, you won that season. Who, who do you think could own this season of college football? Oh, um, I think, you know, I'll give you, I'll give you three guys. All right. One, I'll say, uh, Dante Moore. Sure. And, and the reason I say that is, you know, they've got a lot of returning starters coming back. Offensively, they're going to be extremely healthy at receiver, which they were not last year. And Dante Moore, to me, is a guy that is a lot better than people think he is. He's a much better athlete than people given credit for. I remember calling a game for their organ late in the year against Minnesota. And Dante Moore had to run faster that season than their entire football team, except for their fastest wide receiver. He had run like 22 miles per hour. Um, and I don't think he's looked at in that way. Um, and I think he's got a chance to change that narrative this year with the supporting cast that he has. But also, I think everyone's expecting them to be in the national championship game, um, or at least be vying for it, you know, late in the season. Number two, I'll give you the obvious one, Arch Manning. Um, I think everybody tried to crown him last year, Brandon, uh, before he'd ever played. And I understood it. He's got a manning, you know, name on his back. Um, but I actually thought last year he showed his championship DNA. And I know, like he hasn't won any championships. I kind of got in trouble for saying that. Not really in trouble, just like internet gangsters got upset that I said that about Kevin Clark that she has championship DNA. Um, but he actually, he liked most guys were to fold it with what he went through last year, crowned undercut. Uh, they start three and two. And then he went, they went seven out of the last eight. I think he had 20 touchdowns and two interceptions, um, in the last eight games of the year. And I think he's earned some of the praise this year. Uh, and the last one is a guy that, we're not even know this guy's going to get on the field this year. He'll be honest with you. His name is, your main bishop, wide receiver at Texas. Okay. This guy, listen, they got Ryan Wingo. I know they got Kim Coleman. They got a slew of guys, uh, was it mostly, uh, that are playing in front of him. He's a five star freshman played both ways from Willis High School in Texas. It's literally right down the street from where I live in Texas. This guy had 1,940 receiving yards, 424 Russian yards. Uh, he threw three touchdowns. He's a part returner and a kick returner. And he's been the rave of the town in spring ball and in fall camp so far for the Texas long horns. He is my sleeper. And it's probably because I don't know how much they're going to get him the ball, but Texas fans are going to love this guy. Um, and if he plays the way that he that he's shown that he can, he will be a high-spin candidate, uh, at some point in his college football career. Okay. Well, he's just found out Jermaine Bishop is R G three's cousin. So, uh, uh, so, so thank you. Thank you for shouting out your cousin. Uh, no, no, no, no, I like that. I like that off the beaten path one because everybody's talking about, you know, Dante Mori, everybody's talking about arch. Give me a little Jermaine Bishop every now and then. Give me somebody who's kind of, you know, buried in a depth chart that might break through at some point. Um, I, you actually, uh, talked about a couple guys that I wanted to talk about more, uh, arch. You kind of, you kind of covered arch. We don't have to talk about arch, but I got some thoughts on Dante more. I want to throw you and I want to see how you react to my thoughts. Okay. I think Dante more is a guy who, when, when they have the talent advantage last year and when they were the better team, he looked very good and he looked great. But as soon as that defense on the other side was really good like against Penn State, against Iowa, against, uh, Indiana, his level. a play dropped really considerably. Now, I don't have that big of a problem with it because coach quarterback's mature and get better throughout the years. So as long as he fixes that this year, fine. But I just can't shake that playoff game against Indiana. His first pass is a pick six. Is that a, is that a reasonable concern? Or should I just shut up about it? It's a reasonable concern. I called multiple games for Dante Moore and Oregon last year. And we had those conversations. I think what you said at the beginning of quarterbacks to grow and develop over time, look at Dante Moore when he was at UCLA. Like that guy wouldn't have even been to the coach ball playoff, right? It goes to Oregon. He debuffs for a year night plays. And what I think the difference for him in those big time games when the talent is, you know, one a, one a, his legs have to become a bigger part of his game. You talk about that Penn State game. Well, how did they come out on top of that? Because there's no legs, the scrambling ability. So I think for him, when he gets in those situations, he has to just play football. And you'll hear me say that a bunch. Sometimes there's quarterbacks. We try to make the perfect play, make the perfect pass. Show him we can throw from the pocket. But if you're blessed with a unique ability, you have to use that in those moments because then it makes it true. 11 on 11 football. So I do think it's a reasonable concern. And I think you can rewrite that narrative this year. And I think you will. I really do. I'm glad you said the phrase rewriting, terrible, rewriting narratives, because I want to, I want to ask about a couple of guys that need to do that. Last year, we come into the offseason. And everything is about Lenore sellers at South Carolina. And everything's about DJ Lagway at Florida. And these are guys that now one has moved on. Lagway has moved on from Florida. And then sellers are still there at South Carolina. But these are guys that everybody had the highest hype for. And for whatever reason, their teams and their individual performances didn't rise to the level we thought they might. What would you say to a guy that needs to, needs to bounce back like that? What's the blueprint for bouncing back? And are they capable of it? Yeah. One, I'll say they are both capable of bouncing back. I'll start with DJ. You know, he's at Baylor. It's my alma mater. And the Baylor bears are going to, they're going to swim or sink based off how DJ lagway plays. And when I have my conversation with him and he was contemplating different places, you know, Florida State, Kentucky, all these other places, you know, my advice to him was, you want to go somewhere where it is on your back? You want to go somewhere where they're going to, you know, they're going to go as you go. And now you can say how you can do that anywhere. But at Baylor who has struggled, right? DJ Lagway's got a lot on his plate right now, right? He's got David Randolph job. He's on the line on this year. He's got his career and his potential to be in the first round pick, if not. And I think that's where you want to be. He's in an offense with, with, what's our guy's name there? Damn, I'm blanking on the offensive coordinator's name right now. But yeah, but you knew your cousin's name, though. There you go. No, shut up. Spabital. Spabital is the perfect offense for DJ. It's what he ran in high school. They're going to throw the ball around. He might get 40, 45 attempts per game. Yeah. And one thing about DJ that disappeared at Florida was his, was his ability to run. And I think they missed that. And I think he'll have that back this year. He's healthy, the healthier than he's ever been. He's at his, the school that his dad played at, right? He's got all that on his plate. When you look at the Norse sellers, I think the two best things that these guys did was DJ transferred back home and the North State. The Norse was going to be, they're going to say that he was going to be the next Anthony Richardson if he went to the giraffe. And because Anthony Richardson didn't pan out, I want, I don't want to say that. It's not over for him yet. But because it didn't pan out the way they wanted it too early on, it was going to hurt him if he went into the draft. He's a physical freak. You know, he's got the height weight, the speed, the arm strength. I just think he is another guy that if it requires him to run for 350 yards, he has to do it. That, that, I don't know how much I can say that to you, Brennan. Stop trying to prove things to people and just go win football games. Can't Newton didn't throw for 400 yards every time he was out there. He just went to go win football games and won a national championship. Go get it done. Don't worry about anything else. And I think that's where the North has to change his mindset to bounce back and have a great year. Yeah, I love that. I love that idea because so often we get concerned about the future and we get concerned about what I got to show the pros this or it's not the player saying it is people telling the player, you better show them that you can throw the out route. You better show them you can throw this. Well, how about you better make sure you go beat Kentucky like like that. That's the number one thing that they're actually looking for and then they'll fill in the gaps later. They're not, they're not drafted losers, Brennan. You know, they don't want losers. Vernon Mendoza probably wasn't the most gifted athlete. Probably not the strongest arm, but he went 16 and oh, won a national championship. That's why his number one pick. You know how I know they don't draft losers. I never got drafted. What does that tell you? All right, I got a couple questions here. Hey, where's your husband trophy? I've been trophy was with my parents for 13 years. Now it is at my house. Okay. All right. So it's in the office on display for the podcast. For the pocket. Okay. I was going to say, I was just going to say, I'm building a podcast studio at my house. If you needed some storage, I would put it on display behind all my podcast set. But if you sound like you already got spot for it, that's fine. That's a little self. I'll make this bet for you, Brennan. Mississippi State wins a national championship. I'll let you have the eyes before you. And what sport? Okay. Damn it. Damn it. I was about to get you on a technicality. Okay. You were going to try. That was good. I got a question because we're in a new era of college sports. Let me go ahead and hit this for you because you are the face of the back to school campaign for Yahoo college fancy football. Yahoo sports is bringing the excitement of college football into fantasy with Yahoo college fantasy football a new season long game built specifically for today's game. Yahoo college fantasy football gives fans new ways to engage with the sport. It stars and the teams. They follow all season long drafts are now open.

Fans can sign up today for Yahoo college fantasy football at Yahoo fantasy dot com slash college. All right, there you go. Now, now, now they'll have to pay you. Okay. So, so question. Where in a, you just mentioned lagway. You know, he's one of the guys is transferring dairy and minza transferring, of course, to Miami. There's transfer Josh Hoover from TCU to Indiana. That's the world we live in. That's the world we live in now. Everybody is getting paid. Everybody's free to go anywhere they want to go. And I like that. Take this era back 20 years. Would you have left Baylor? You think, would you have considered leaving Baylor? I can't say no. First and foremost, everything paying out the way I was supposed to pay out. Sure, sure, sure. Thanks for that. I've told the story before, but my freshman year at Baylor, we played against Texas going to halftime. It's 20 to 20. This is the Texas team that was like, number one in the nation, Colt McCoy, quarterback. And we're in that time. Blolo Baylor kind of given them a run for their money. Now they ended up 1 in 42 to 20. We didn't score in a second half, but after the game, Mac Brown approached me at midfield and he told me, hey, we're really messed up with recruiting you. And if you want to transfer to Texas, we'll take you right now. So he, he pitched that to me at the end of the game. You know, I kind of just, you know, laughed it off, stayed at Baylor, and we did what we did. But who's to say that if that was to happen in this area of college football, that they wouldn't have thrown 10 million my way and said, hey, you should, you should come over to Texas. And I think that is the primary thing that all these young athletes are struggling with because they're tossing around big amounts of money. And I wasn't a well to do kid, you know, as a poor kid growing up. So yeah, if Texas had thrown 10 million to me back then in the day, yeah, I probably would have transferred. And that's just the, just the God on his truth. I'm thankful that I have my career that we had at Baylor. We were able to do everything that we did. But it's a different, it's a different area. And I don't, I don't hold it against the young men who do ends up transferring because that's just the name of the game right now. Yeah. And that people will be like, yeah, kids aren't loyal anymore. They're just looking for the next dollar. Yeah, you know, who else is looking for the next dollar every single person in America. That's how it works. I'll tell you what, Texas, you went off from me 10 million right now. I'll transfer my ass out of the studio right now. And I'll come down there to Austin. Ah, here's a, here's a fun question. I tell you that you can start your college career over again tomorrow. Which college, current college coach do you think you would fit best with? Ooh, that's a great question. That's a great fucking question, dude. That's a great question. Oh, thank you. Yeah, I'm going to, I'm going to go with Kurt's dignity. And the reason I say this is, I want to be coach hard, right? When I was in college, coach, our brows coached me hard. Used to tune me out in front of the team, literally just to prove a point. And it made me better, right? They changed my throw moisture when I was in college. They changed the way that I processed the game, taught me, taught me more about what I could be and what they believed I could be. And I think that's what Kurt's dignity does. Who, who would have told you that last year Indiana would have won the national championship with a quarterback from Kyle that no one really wanted when he was coming out of high school in Fernando Mendoza. And he gets to Indiana and somehow somewhere where Kurt's dignity puts together a system that allows him to become a high-smit trophy winner and the first pick in the draft. That to me is what every quarterback should want. The issue with cursing netty is that he always takes transfers. So if I was a high schooler, maybe if I was the five star, you know, most dominant player in the country, maybe he would take me in and start me. But cursing netty does typically take older guys that have experience. And that's why I'm so fascinated with what's gonna happen with Josh Hoover, a guy who's throwing the ball to the other team a lot. You would, I would say kind of reminds me of Rex Grossman. Rex was going to keep both teams in the game. Josh had played throughout his college career. But I think limiting his throws. They're not going to throw the ball 35 times a game. And the kid is talented. He can throw it all over the yard. So I'm looking forward to seeing how he how he develops under cursing netty, but that would be my pick right now. All right, a couple more questions here. I know your own vacation. I appreciate your time. So I got I got to be selfish here. I don't know if you saw it, but at Mississippi State, there's a quarterback, his name is Camario Taylor. It's from Knoxby County. It's 15 minutes south of where I was where I grew up. Jeff LeBee is this coach. Jeff LeBee was at SEC Media Days and they're like coach. Tell us about Camario Taylor. And he says, well, let me tell you about Camario Taylor. He reminds me of RG three. What are your thoughts about that? And have I don't know if you've seen him play or if you've met him or anything, but we got to do down there and start. What happens when you lock 18 co-workers in an office for one week to compete for a quarter million dollars of cash? This is surviving bar stool season five presented by Rumble Premium, where each episode releases three hours early. So get it out free before anybody else only when you join Rumble Premium. New episodes of surviving bar stool will be released every Sunday and Wednesday, leading up to the Labor Day finale on September 7th. You can watch surviving bar stool at 5 p.m. on Rumble Premium and everywhere else at 8 p.m. Eastern. Yes, Camario Taylor. I know of him. I did see it. And look at if Jeff LeBee says that the young man reminds him of me. You got to believe him. When he said it, I was like, let me go back and watch some more tape. So actually that day that he said it, I went back and watched more of Camario's tape. And I don't disagree. I'm talking about the size, the ability to extend the play, natural ability to throw the deep ball. That was one thing that we really hammered in our last year. At Baylor was just being able to throw the deep ball at an efficient rate, more efficient than anyone else in the country. So I'm actually looking forward to seeing what he does. But what I need you to do, Brandon, is you can't pre-menture or celebrate at games. Because last year, don't get up now, don't get up. I saw it happen and I was like, man, you just, you got to keep your calm. Keep your calm. And when Camario's out there ballin, don't go run it down the sideline. You know, basically guaranteed you got the victory. And I promise you guys have a great year. Let me ask you a question. Am I not supposed to get excited when my team is scoring points? Am I not supposed to get excited when we're beating Texas by 17 points in the fourth quarter? And the reason I ran down the sidelines is we had a 70 yard catch and run for a touchdown. I was at the line of scrimmage. They throw the little ball on the flat and he takes off. And I'm like, where's he going? Let me go see where he's going. I had to go see. So am I not supposed to get excited, RG3? Tell me that. You are supposed to get excited, but you, but it's like when you take it to the next level and then you start posting it online and it's like we got this in the bag. That's when you get those, what they call this reason called takes, trust me, I've been there too, right? I've celebrated prematurely and it kind of bites you in the butt, but I would say you guys have a team and you have a quarterback that could take you guys places that you haven't been in quite some time. So I actually do believe in Camarero and I'm actually, I love your fandom. I think you're a great ambassador for the university and I know they love having you there, man. Appreciate that last couple of questions here. You need to help me. I need your help. I don't, I don't have a Heisman vote and I want one. Can you, can you talk to Mr. Heisman and see if I can get, if I can get a vote? I would like to have a vote. I can talk to the Heisman committee and see if we can get, if we can get on, you know, Brandon Walker vote for the Heisman. There's a lot of people that have a vote for the Heisman, shouldn't have a vote for the Heisman. Agreed. So, yeah, I mean, we can, we can certainly have that conversation, we can definitely have that conversation. I'd be the first guy to ever submit his vote in August. I just vote Camarero Taylor right now. I mean, why'd you vote already? I don't know, man. Just be kind of shocked. Well, listen, the number one rule of the Heisman voters is you can't give away your vote. You can't do that. So that's strike one. You've got one strike of potentially getting a vote. You don't tell people who you vote for before then closing of the votes. Good. Last last last question being the easy one is just a little evergreen content here, but what's the loudest stadium you ever played in in college football? Oh, that is great. It's kind of shocking to a lot of people, but the loudest stadium I ever played in and I think it might be because new ears, you know, like you haven't put on a pair of like Bose headphones and I got my music just sounds better. It's crisper, right? You know what I mean? But like then when you get other ones, it's, you know, it's just the same old thing, but your ears adjust. So when I first got to college, I played at Yukon and Yukon was a top 15 team at the time. The sideline was like two feet from the dang field and that to me was a loudest stadium I've ever played in. I'm actually on record having said that years ago and people like, what do you mean? You played a Texas, you played a text saying, and you've played it at Texas Tech, you played in in Jerry's world and all these places, but when I, let me tell you, when that sideline is that close and they got some liquor in them and their team was great. Yukon was by far one of a lot of stadiums I ever played in. I totally forgot, dude, I forgot your own record saying that. I used to have a producer on this show called Jack Mack is a Yukon guy and he talked about you saying that all the time and I forgot. I'm so stupid. Now he's just going to see it again and this is ridiculous. Anyway, RG3, former Highsman winner for, you know, I don't have to introduce RG3 is the best. He's the man and he's in charge of, he's not in charge of. He's the face of Yahoo sports fantasy football college fantasy football this year. So check that out. Check him out and please get back safe because I know you're going to be in Estonia for the next six weeks. You're going to be in spas and you're going to be, you know, in bath houses. So we are doing a football season here pretty soon, man. So if you want to come back, you're going to be, you know, I'm definitely going to be back and I want to see you play in Yahoo college fantasy football. You know, to me, you know, college football is my fantasy, you know, we like to have a lot of good times. But at the end of the day, college football is bigger than ever is. That's why you have a brand new world or college football show right now. And Yahoo's trying to not not take advantage of it, but just offer that to the people who want to do it in the biggest way and play with their favorite players. I think it's a great bonding and it builds a great community. So I want to see you sign up. Maybe me and you can compete in a couple of leagues. We'll see. Do what happens. Done. Done. Done and done. We will do it. So RG3, thank you. Get back to your vacation. And that is that. Thank you guys for watching.
