It is the JR Sportbreeze show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia.

Thank you to everybody tuned in all over North America. My friends in Canada, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal. You be in Edmonton.

I don't know where you at. You could be in Miami, Florida. You could be in Buffalo, New York. Seattle, Washington. You could be in Dover, Delaware. You could be in Baltimore. You could be in Texas right now.

I don't know. Pick a city. Austin, Texas. What's up, Boise, Idaho?

All my friends in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Hey, shout out to everybody in New York hanging out with super producer and host Ryan Hickey. You can always listen to the show every weekday starting at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific on the free Odyssey app, your local Infinity Sports Network affiliate. If you got Sirius XM, it's channel 158.

If you got a smart speaker, you ask it to play the Infinity Sports Network and boom, it pops right on up. I'll be hanging out with you for the next three hours. If you missed the first hour, where you been? You can start from the beginning.

Odyssey app. OK, a reminder. We talked about the return of Christian McCaffrey. He will be back this weekend. All my fantasy folks, you're going to entertain that? Going to put Christian McCaffrey on on your list to make some money? He's going to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That hurt ass team. Come on now.

They're four and five. Falcons are going to win. Don't worry. Falcons got the NFC South. We talked about the return of Aaron Boone despite losing the World Series last week.

I know it feels like a very, very long time ago. Aaron Boone is going to be back in New York City 2025. The New York Yankees have exercised. His contract extension was remaining year of his contract for next year. Let him be a lame duck.

Why not do it? The why would they extend him? They lost. Give him the old Mike McCarthy treatment. At least if the Dallas Cowboys ended up in the Super Bowl, Mike McCarthy would get an extension.

We know he's likely going to just get the boot. Bengals got the boot last night, losing to the Ravens. We got a record of four and six and we have so much more to get into.

How about this? In about 20 minutes from now, let's talk some college football. I'm going to take a look at some of the matchups that I am really paying attention to, especially my local Georgia Bulldogs taking on Ole Miss. Ole Miss loses this one. It's over for Ole Miss. We got BYU trying to show everybody, hey, our schedule been kicking ass. We deserve to be higher, ranked higher in the college football playoff. And then we got Alabama and LSU. And I was just alerted in the break as we talked about the monkeys that are loose in South Carolina.

Oh, you don't know what I'm talking about? There are 43 monkeys loose in South Carolina. They've been loose for more than 24 hours now. They haven't caught them. How do you catch a monkey? I don't know. Bananas?

Shelter? I don't know. Maybe monkeys want to be outside.

Maybe they don't want to be in a testing facility. Anyway, besides that, I heard they got some things going on in Baton Rouge with that tiger. Yeah, yeah.

I don't think it's the one that sits outside. We'll get into that. We got some more NFL action to get into. Got a bunch of two-win NFL teams. I can't believe so many teams are garbage. We got another good game between Detroit and Houston. They speak about teams that are starting to get busted up.

The Houston Texans are certainly in that category. And so we have so much more to do here over the next three hours. You want to contact me? Simple 855-212-4227.

That's 855-212-4227. And speaking of games, in a few seconds from now, a few minutes, I want to tell you about the football game, the NFL game, that I'm really looking forward to for this weekend. It's like old versus young, young versus old, hot fresh new thing, old thing. Hickey, there's nothing wrong with the old thing every now and then, you know? Not at all. Right?

Biggie talked about that. Old thing back. Oh, excuse me, Hickey. Wow. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I'm culture once around.

I got that in the playlist. Okay. All right. My guy. Shout out to super producer and host, Ryan Hickey.

I'm going to tell you about the old thing and new hotness or something like that. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. Joe, he's calling from Pennsylvania.

But wait a minute. Hickey, this is not that Joe from Pennsylvania, is it? No, not one. Could be. I don't know. Delaware, Pennsylvania. No, no. Mixing these places up.

I think he was born in Pennsylvania. Joe, you're on the Gerald Sportbrie show. What's up?

They are. What's up, man? First time caller, long time listener.

I'm from York, Pennsylvania. I was just wondering if I could spit a little medical jargon at you just about Dak Prescott. If you got the time. Oh, are you going to tell me about the ligament that's fallen off of his leg? Yeah, I mean, and just, you know, potentially how long his rehab might be and how bad the actual injury is. We were going to get into it. Can we do a yes or no?

Because I don't want you to sap the fun out of me saying about how his hamstrings are going to fall off the bone. Can we do that? Yeah, yeah, whatever. Yeah, whatever you want. Okay. His hamstring is not like ribs.

It's not like cooking ribs. Yes or no? No, definitely not. Okay.

If he has surgery, he's going to miss more of the season. Yes or no? 100 percent, yes. Yeah.

And so what the hell is he doing to try to get back on the field? Answer that one. Well, not a yes or no, but give me a full answer on that one. So surgery, which he might have already had. They said he don't want none. No, you don't want none.

Is that right? They say he doesn't want surgery. He wants to get back. I want to the football for you. Okay. Yeah.

So I wasn't aware of that. Let me ask. I got to ask more questions.

Yeah, absolutely. You a doctor, Joe? No, I'm not a doctor. I'm a medical professional. I work in orthopedics and I do a lot of sports medicine.

I work with doctors every day. You do you do rehab. You help people rehab.

I don't help rehab. I work in the operating room. You pass you. You're the guy who passes the guy that the other drill. Is that you?

No, no, I'm I was one of the assistants. I hold the retractors. What the heck is that? I've never got cut open.

What's that? Oh, to hold the body open? Yeah. So I hold stuff so the surgeon can see. Oh, my God. And then I do and then I do the closing.

I do the sewing. Oh, my. Hickey, Hickey, did we just talk about somebody like him? Right. Exactly right. I couldn't do it.

Credit to you, Joe. When you hold someone. Yes. I called Hickey.

I called Hickey way back when. And we were talking about somebody's clavicle. Yeah. But yeah.

Right. What is that? What's that thing called? Collarbone. Collarbone. Yeah, that thing.

That thing that runs right across your shoulders. Great. So do you listen to us while you are holding surgeries in the morning? So you're not listening to us.

Are you listening to the replay while you hold people open? Well, I don't. So I can't listen necessarily during the day, but I always listen when I'm either driving home, but I always catch you because you're in the perfect. Well, thanks.

The perfect spot. That's great, man. What a job.

Holding people open while they get destroyed on the inside. Well, thank you, Joe. You have anything else you want to share? That's that's pretty cool, right?

No, I mean, I mean, that's about it. I could go a little deeper, but, yeah, it's all good. Hey, I appreciate you taking my call.

No problem. Thank you. What's your job call? What you call that person?

What are you? So so it's called a surgical first assistant. Oh, my God.

You're not nauseous. Yeah. Kind of like a P.A.

physician assistant, but I don't make as much money. I got you, Joe. Go get to the money. OK, thank you for calling from P.A. Have a good weekend. All right. All right. You too, Jerry. Thank you very much. Peace out, Joe. Thank you so much. He says P.A.

and hickey. I'm like production assistant. I don't know.

I'm so used to my own line of work. Physician says keep. Yeah.

He holds things open. Yeah. After they split you open with a knife. And then he said retractors. And in my brain, I'm going, what could that possibly be? And I'm like, oh, I know what the hell that is.

That's where's my bro. That's a dirty job right there. That's that. That's that. That's that cold metal thing. Keeping your body open. Those are the hickey. I didn't want to get into it because I didn't want to get a yes or no.

People can Google if they want. That has to be the the metal pieces that hold you open. Has to be. It sounds like I don't know what else it would be. He's standing there with the clamps and he's holding he's holding your leg open while the doctor's in there doing the stuff.

Sounds terrible. This is like when your grandpa says, hey, help me with the sink, right? Your grandpa says, hey, help me with the sink. And grandpa is down there underneath the sink playing with the pipes. And he goes, hey, hey, hold this.

Hand me the wrench. And oh, I think a lot of people have that experience as a kid. If you admit if you were fortunate enough to grow up around, you know, a grandparent, hickey, you know, my grandfather, he had me over. He had me doing everything. Yeah. Me helping him do. And I appreciate it now. You know, you had me helping him on the roof. Hickey got me on the roof. That'll teach you some life experience.

Yeah. I'm like, we on the roof doing what? Installing the satellite dish. I'm like, bruh, the DirecTV man couldn't come and do this. Why are we up here doing this? Like, why am I here? Making you appreciate TV.

Well, how do you think this TV gets into the house, man? Come on, bruh. Sheesh. Oh, shout outs to that guy. Is it Joe from Pennsylvania?

Good for him. Oh, man. Wow. Has some flashbacks. Hickey, next thing I'm gonna go to sleep tonight.

I'm gonna be cutting grass in my dreams and fixing pipes and boilers. Oh, man. What a day. And shout outs to Joe. Shout outs to everybody out there doing that work. Kind of happy he doesn't listen to us while he's helping people operate.

Good for him. Anyway, I told you there's some football this Sunday. A real matchup that I'm really looking forward to.

I told you it's old versus new. This is like, I don't know, a McLaren versus Hickey. What would Russell Wilson be in like cars, right? What would he be? If Russell Wilson was a car, what would it be? A Winnebago? It's like a Subaru. A Toyota Sienna. A minivan.

For the family. Yeah. Reliable? Russell Wilson got kids, right? He does?

Yeah. This is a matchup. On Sunday, we have the Steelers and we have the Washington commanders. And if you got to look at this, Russell Wilson is that reliable Toyota Sienna that you just put the whole damn family in, okay?

You get grandma, the kids, you go to the school play, poor dad in the front or mom, they got to listen to all the pain in the ass people in the back. There's like eight of them. You hate their guts. It's like listening to Russell Wilson at a press conference. You hate this guy's guts.

Stop, stop feeding us crap. And then you got a McLaren. You got Jayden Daniels. You got a Heisman award winner. You got something that's young, that's new, that you not driving the Toyota Sienna down South Beach, but you will show up with the McLaren.

It's fast and sleek, attractive to the eye. And then Jayden Daniels is going to win Offensive Rookie of the Year. He's been lighting it up almost 2000 yards passing, nine touchdowns. You got to love when a rookie doesn't turn the ball over.

Two interceptions, 460 yards rushing, four touchdowns on the ground. And he is tough as nails for not being the biggest dude in the NFL. He looks slight. He looks small.

People were worried how he was going to last, like he was Bryce Young, like he was heading into kindergarten. No, not at all. And so if there's one matchup that I really want to see, Steelers are six and two have one of the best defenses in the league. The commanders are seven and two.

Surprising. I gave you my top six list two nights ago about the top six Super Bowl contenders. I don't got them at seven. I don't stop at, I stop at six. I don't keep going.

But of course the commanders are good. I just wouldn't say they're going to win the Super Bowl. Come on. Rookie quarterback bouncing in like this? Not yet.

Not yet. But it's amazing that they're so good so soon with a quarterback who was selected number two overall in the draft. They have a rookie quarterback and the commander's offense is ranked third in the league, averaging 29 points a game.

Now, if they were just, I don't know, you know, rush the football a little bit more, I think things would be better. This is going to be a this is going to be a good one. Is Jayden Daniels going to be good enough to beat the Steelers?

We know what the Steelers do. Going to punch you in the mouth. Going to take your lunch money.

Going to grind it out. Mike Tom is going to look angry on the sidelines. They're going to try to win this game ugly and the commander's going to try to light him up.

I don't know if they'll be able to do so. You know, for a quarterback, as I told you, like Jayden Daniels, is Mika Fitzpatrick going to say, give me that ball. He's going to snatch it out the air. I think we will see a turnover and I'm going to go ahead and take the Steelers in this game. We got all reliable and Russell Wilson, the Toyota Sienna, the man who is trying to forge and push his way into the Hall of Fame and whatever years are left in his career. The Steelers are hoping that he can stabilize a more traditional offense away from Justin Fields and Jayden Daniels. He is the offense. A matter of fact, Mike Tomlin, he wasn't angry when he told everybody, Jayden Daniels, that guy don't play like no rookie.

To be a young guy, to extend plays, to do the things that come with extending plays, oftentimes play extensions means more variance in terms of outcome of play, sometimes good, sometimes bad. He's been able to extract the good from those moments while minimizing the bad. And I just think that it speaks to his savvy and his experience. And I say experience because, you know, rookie quarterbacks come at you in a variety of forms, man. This guy has been a franchise quarterback for two different universities. Oh yeah, and he turned it up by the time he got to LSU.

He turned it up all the way up. I told you that defense for the Steelers is going to come after Mike Tomlin. I'm not going to talk about that. He's going to compliment the guy because that's what good coaches do. You never say the team that we're going to play, ah, we're going to wipe him out. You don't talk trash.

You show them respect. Mike Tomlin wasn't lying. This guy's good. He's damn good. What is he going to do against that Steelers defense though?

Come on now. T.J. Watt is going to know that guy's blood type by the time the game is over, right? Jayden Daniels know they coming for him.

They coming. You know, Mike Tomlin was there. He's a hell of a coach.

Obviously, he doesn't have a losing record for a reason. So, he's going to have his guys ready to play. They play hard. They know their scheme. They have some really good players. Obviously, you got T.J. Watt, Patrick Queen, you know, guys like that, Minka Fitzpatrick. But overall, the whole defense, they play together.

They play. They have a good continuity and, you know, it's going to be a good challenge for us. No, man. It's no matter of fact.

You appreciate that. Not too high, not too low. He's just ready to play ball. Defender jumping into his face at the end of a game, trying to crack him. And he stands there and takes the hit, delivers a game winning pass.

This guy's tough as nails. Russell Wilson still trying to show everybody he's tough, right? I think Russell Wilson and Dan Quinn know a thing or two about each other. Dan Quinn was that defensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks when Russell Wilson was out there winning.

Now, they're both in different places. Dan Quinn, the head coach of the Washington commanders, and Russell Wilson still trying to show that he can ball out in the NFL. Two starts this year.

Hasn't turned the ball over yet. Mike Tomlin loves him. There's something good about being reliable, like a Toyota Sienna. I'm going to stop naming cars.

There's some other reliable cars out there. But Dan Quinn, he says, man, Russell Wilson, I used to watch the guy every day. He ain't easy to play against. Number one, you better be ready for it to come any part of the field. Sometimes when a quarterback may roll out to one side, you can cut that part of the field off where it'll just be only thrown to this side with him and the arm strength that he has.

He can be on one side and go across the field deep or vice versa, all the way out to his left and going that way. So being on top of scramble plays and keepers and play passes, that's a big deal. Oh, it's a big deal.

It's a big deal. He can't move like he used to. Russell Wilson, he got some big old legs.

He can't move like he used to. He can still throw that ball. Don't throw that rock. Hey, I got the Steelers knocking off these commanders. What do you think of the command is going to just if they beat the Steelers, people are really going to start paying even more attention to them.

I don't think it's going to happen, though. If they win the commanders, that is, would you put the commanders in the Super Bowl contender category? No. Not changing my mind. No, I'd have to see I'd have to see them light people up the rest of the year. I would.

I don't think they have enough balance in their offense. And I just don't. This is not Patrick. As much as an amazing as Jayden Daniels is, this is not Patrick Mahomes waking up playing his first full year and saying his 50 touchdowns. You know what I'm saying?

Like, I don't know if that's enough there. And even when Patrick Mahomes woke up and did that, that that was no Super Bowl. He didn't get no Super Bowl. He had to run into some guy named Tom Brady.

He got sent home, you know. I do, and I'm with you, I would agree. I think it'd be an impressive win. And obviously the record goes to 82.

Very impressive. But I'm with you. I would not put them in the same category as the Lions, the 49ers right now. I'm with you though also too in terms of the pick here. I do think the Steelers win this game. I like the way Russ is playing so far.

He's playing a lot better than I honestly ever could have anticipated. And that Steelers defense just brings hell to everybody. I think they'll continue to bring the ruckus here, especially with a ground game that right now is not very consistent for Washington. Give me the Steelers. Yeah, I'm really looking forward to this game.

You got the old and you got the new. Let's see what the Steelers can do. I think the Steelers going to end up a seven and two and the commanders. I think they're going to fall to seven and three.

It's the JR sport re-show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network. That's the game I'm really looking forward to. We're going to take a break. We come back. We're going to talk some college football.

We got some games tomorrow that I'm really looking forward to. You're listening to the JR sport brief. I need you to think O'Reilly Auto Parts for all of your car care needs. Get guaranteed low prices and excellent customer service from the professional parts people at O'Reilly Auto Parts 855-212-4227.

That's 855-212-4227. I was getting ready to talk to you all about the college football games that I really want to see tomorrow. Get into that in a minute. Maybe even the next break, but we just had a different story just pop up in the world of college basketball. I mean, damn it, the college basketball season. It just started. It just started and we got a terrible story here.

How about this? Jeff Goodman, basketball analyst. He just sent this tweet out like right when we were coming out of break. Auburn is getting ready to take on Houston. Auburn's plane returned back home due to horseplay between players on the flight that could have escalated into a fight. According to the field of 68, Auburn was about 45 minutes in route and had to return home. Source said they are expected to take another plane to Houston later tonight.

Tigers play Houston tomorrow night. What? The flight turned around because of horseplay between players that could have escalated into a fight? 45 minutes in the air?

Let me tell you something. It's not a long flight to go from from Houston to Alabama in a couple hours. They probably halfway there at that point.

Damn. I've never heard of this. I mean, we've heard of stories of professional athletes, college basketball players, college athletes on their way might as well be right. We've heard stories about athletes gambling on planes and playing pranks on planes. I don't ever remember hearing about college athletes messing around on a plane so much that they turned around. And I think anyone who's ever been on a plane or anyone who has social media, it's unfortunately pretty commonplace now to see somebody acting a fool on a plane and the pilot just saying, I ain't doing this crap.

Are you serious? I'm going up in the air in this giant aluminum tube giant aluminum tube. And I'm going to have people acting a fool behind me. No, I won't. I'm trying to write the hell around.

And marshals will be sitting there right there on the plane, ready to take you off. We don't play those games in the air. And I think we know plenty of the reasons why we've seen plenty of the reasons over the last 25 years. Unfortunately, this is not good. It's not good for the students. Whoever the hell was horse playing around roughhousing, whatever the hell they were doing, whoever the hell was beefing, not good for the university. Damn it. This ain't good for Bruce Pearl. What is Bruce Pearl going to explain for this one? And then you got to play Houston tomorrow.

I guess Houston, the Cougars just going to light them up. And then what, what issue? I mean, is there going to be an issue with the FAA or we going to have, and there's going to be investigations all over the player in the air. This ain't no fight at the school's practice facility. This is, I've never heard of this one.

Picky, everybody get in trouble? That's what it seems. I mean, Jeff Goodman called it a Donnybrook. That's a Donny, that's a fight. And that I'm assuming right is between like multiple people, not just a one-on-one fight between two people. That's like a group melee. Nearly turned into a Donnybrook.

Oh my God. Yeah. I mean, that's, and that plane turned around fast. Like they were, they barely made it past Montgomery, looking at the map here before they turned around. So clearly they waited no time into, you know, getting into whatever the hell they were getting into. And like you said, I don't know who makes the call if it's Bruce Pearl, the pilot, both, the neither, whatever. They did not waste any time.

Turned that bad boy right around and man. Yeah. What can you be fighting about? This is the first road trip of the year. I don't know. They should have just started this. This is the most exciting time. They should have saved it for the bus, man. You save it.

At least you on the ground. You fight on the bus, fight in the locker room. I was thinking about a locker room fight.

I don't remember none of those. First thing that comes to mind is Gilbert arenas. Don't do that either. Do not do not do that. Don't do no Gilbert arenas. Don't do it.

That's rough, man. You think that you, you think they were gambling? Like what's the deal here? I mean, we don't know. We can only speculate. Speculation is fun sometimes. Not for this, but what's that serious money. You owe me money.

I don't know, man. Good luck to them. This embarrassing. They have to turn around and get a new plane. Are they going to drop some of the students off? Hey, get your ass off the plane. You're not coming with us to Houston. This is, this is like, Hey, stop that. Although I'm turning around and we're all going home. This is what this is for college basketball. We're on the plane. Y'all don't know how to act. And so the pilot says I'm turning around.

Except for it costs, it costs a lot of money, tens of thousands of thousands of dollars. It depends on where the hell you going. Maybe hundreds that says to fill up a plane to put fuel in the plane. This is, this is bad, bad, bad, bad, awful. Hey, Auburn, you should be your players should be ashamed of themselves. I know that pilot was just in hickey. I don't know Bruce Pearl made the call, but I'm assuming the pilot was the one who said, nah, I'm not doing this. Got these kids in the back of the plane acting like asses.

I'm not doing this. I'm pretty sure that the pilot is the boss in the air. I know the pilot was like, nah, we ain't doing this.

I'm going home. You're probably right. And for that to reach the level that they had to alert the pilot, which I'm assuming means they could not stop whatever was going on. Boy, team chemistry started off the year, zero. I don't think I've ever heard this in sports ever period.

Never. Not at the professional level, not at the college level. We know teammates, family, you're around each other enough. And as you said, this is the early part of the season. What y'all mad about had a tough practice.

What a way to start the year off hickey. Maybe this will make Auburn stronger, make them strong, had to deal with some issues early on in the season. And so now they, they will have resolve and they maybe they will come together after this.

I can, I can see it now. Do you think you think Bruce Pearl is going to mention that if they went tomorrow, what did this make? This makes us stronger. You know, we have people doubting us. We had to face some adversity, you know, I'm so proud.

I definitely think they win tomorrow without a doubt. We'll be saying something like that at the beginning of the season. Nah, he can't, can't pull that crap off. I hope not.

But you know, many college coaches just they view everything as a slight to their program, even if it's self induced, even if my players are fighting on a plank. Okay. Where's Bruce Willis or somewhere one of these action guys to sell them straight when you with Sam Jackson. Sam Jackson knew that I handled business on a plane and he was dealing with snakes. Okay.

He was. I haven't seen that movie. No. Have you seen that movie recently? No, I've never seen it.

I don't plan on it. Snakes on the plane. Too much for me. Maybe Sam Jackson could help find the monkeys in South Carolina, right?

That is a guy I would trust. Sam Jackson going to South Carolina, finding the 43 loose monkeys, make a movie before the rock does it. Makes it awful. You see that rock got a movie coming out. What is he like a panda chaser?

He's a Christmas something. I don't even know. There's so many.

I can't keep up. Is Kevin Hart in it? Like now rock movie.

No, not this one. I don't think. No, just the rock. His own crappy movies. The rock, a panda and another guy.

I don't know. Oh man. I still gladly say, and I like the rock, but I've never seen a movie that he's been in ever. Never seen a rock movie. And the way these previews look, I think I will never see a rock movie.

Keep it that way. It's the JR sport. You seen a rock movie? I've seen a few.

Yeah. Oh, it was the one where he's jumping into the volcano. There's one with him in the car. It was one where he was a tooth fairy. He was not to that one. He's a giant scorpion. There's a bunch of movies with him and Kevin Hart. None of them that I can remember because I've never seen any of them, but I liked the rock. I ain't gonna sit down and watch his movies.

Good guy though. I like them. It's the JR sport. We show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27.

That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. We come back on the other side. We're going to dive into some college football. I told you the NFL game that I really want to watch this upcoming Saturday between those Pittsburgh Steelers and those Washington commanders. I'm going to tell you about the college games that I am really looking forward to tomorrow.

Some teams, they could kiss their playoff chances of goodbye. I'm going to tell you who it is. You're listening to the JR sport brief. It is the JR sport. We show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network.

8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. This is some feel good music. Nothing feeling good about Auburn right now. We just told you about their basketball team on an airplane getting ready to fly to Houston to take on them Cougars. They had to turn the flight around after 45 minutes because the Auburn players were roughhousing that could have led to a Donnybrook. And so I guess the pilot, well, he's the boss, right? You in the, you in the, you in the, the, the pilots plane. He turned things around. He said, I ain't doing this. You imagine these guys brawling up and down the, the aisle, and then they end up in the front. I mean, banging on this guy. I don't want to do with that. The flight attendants, they don't want to deal with that crap.

Picky. Auburn is they said something. Did we get some word on what's going on?

Not yet, but they are playing on releasing a statement soon. So maybe we'll get some sort of details, maybe names of who was fighting and I'm assuming who was left home and some sort of clarity of what the hell happened. Oh my God. We got to come up with a clever name.

I don't know. Somebody is going to come up with a clever name. All the headlines for this are going to be hilarious. Is this going to make a, it's going to be national news in the morning, right? I know it's the weekend, but it'll be on the news.

Oh, I definitely for sure. And this is like a story you've never seen before. This is crazy. Yeah. Pretty nutty.

Pretty wild. Well, we'll keep you up to date on plain gate with the Auburn tigers, but we'll, we'll see what happens anyway. And talking to some college football, let's move on to some other tigers because we got some big games this weekend, college football earlier this week, we heard about, or we learned what the college football playoff looks like. We got the rankings of the top 25 teams. So yeah, we're getting into the stretch run.

Okay. And so we have some big teams that have some big implications over the weekend and let's, let's might as well, we might as well start off. I said, tigers, let's go to LSU.

Let's go to one of my favorite places on earth. Let's go to Louisiana, Baton Rouge, the red Baton, because the tigers, they're going to take on a Crimson tide. We're going to see Alabama versus LSU. These are two teams with records of six and two.

Let me tell you something. If any one of these teams ends up with a record of three losses, one of them is going to have three losses. Somebody has to lose. It's going to hurt their playoff chances. I'm going to have no three loss team running around. Is it going to be Alabama? New head coach, Kellen DeBoer is going to be Brian Kelly, who maybe will slam some water on the table. Maybe he will find a new accent after the win or the loss.

We have no idea. This game is taking place in Baton Rouge. Give them the edge, right?

I would think so. Kellen DeBoer, first year head coach replacing Nick Saban. He told everybody, well, he told Crimson tide sports. I think my team, they going to show up and show out. You guys are, I know, chomping at the bit to get back on the football field and continue to, you know, have them be rewarded with the work that they put in, you know, and that's, you know, they're just being able to stay with the process and just stay with the things that matter and focus on themselves has just been so impressive to me. And, you know, just want that to, to, you want it to result in, you know, in wins.

And, you know, I expect us to be well prepared and ready to go on Saturday. And so just everything I've seen, I like where we're at. Okay.

All right. He likes where they're at. Does LSU like where they're at? Because the last time we saw LSU, they lost to Texas A&M 38 to 23. Wasn't a good game. Garrett Nussmeier was out there throwing, count them, three, three INTs in the loss. Overall this season, he's been good, right? 20 touchdowns, nine interceptions. Not easy replacing, you know, Jayden Daniels and think the people down in Baton Rouge, I got pretty spoiled by this, but Brian Kelly, he wants to tell everybody.

It's not just the last game for the whole year. Brian Kelly was on Pat McAfee. He's like, man, I trust this guy. I like him. A very talented player. And I think the growth obviously has happened from week to week. Obviously turning the football over against A&M was, you know, certainly that growth that he'll need to have as you go into a game like Alabama, you can't turn the football over and expect to live. Yeah.

But I think that that's his maturation. I think this comes down to, you have to be good at all phases when you're playing games like this. You know, you can't play two quarters against A&M and look real good at halftime and then turn it over in the second half and expect to live on the road.

That's the same thing in these games. You've got to play four quarters of really good football in special teams. You saw our special teams, the Bakkels. We've got to play well in special teams. You've got to play well on offense and defense.

If you do that, we've got a great chance. Hickey, where, he lost his act last year. He lost it. The accident disappeared. It has disappeared.

I guess he's been in the, I don't know. I was going to say, nevermind. Yeah.

He just lost it. Well, it happens sometimes. I don't know. Well, maybe not. No, it doesn't happen.

What am I talking about? That's crazy. Anyway, let me tell you something. I think LSU is going to win it. Hickey, I think LSU is going to win at home. Really? Huh?

Taking the tigers? Location only. That's it.

Location. It's off playing out there. They're going to play that song. Hickey, go ahead. Say the song. Go ahead. Now say the words. The words. Suck that.

Tiger. Come on. You can finish it. You do it. You do it.

Not me. You do it. I don't know.

You got to help me out here. I don't know what song you're talking about. I forgot. I don't know either. I got to Google it on YouTube.

Okay. How did they get away with that? That's so vulgar, what they say out there. It's disgusting. Brian Kelly's asked about it today. He said he likes it. What the song?

Yeah. Why don't they ask him to sing it? He should sing it as he runs out out there.

I don't know. Could you imagine? You see him on the sideline mouthing that.

That would be one of the greatest things I think I've ever seen. Hey, he'd be much more appreciated. I'll put it to you that way. No, you know, Alabama will probably win, but I got a little bit of a shocker and an update.

It's tough playing in Death Valley. How about that? You know, you asked about Brian Kelly. Hickey, they asked him about Mike.

Is that what happened? The Tiger? They asked him about that Tiger outside? Allegedly, A.

Maybe not THE Tiger, but A Tiger could be making an appearance back in Death Valley. Excuse me? Wait, wait, wait. We've talked about this. First, here we go.

This is a Friday night. We're talking about monkeys and tigers and people fighting on planes, snakes on a plane. We've talked about how I personally, and this is Peter contacted us, which was crazy. I've talked about not being a fan of that Tiger just sitting out in the stadium outside of the stadium by himself. And I know the governor of Louisiana has wanted to bring the Tiger inside.

LSU is a public university. Trust me, I know. Hickey, I used to date somebody at LSU. I like it. Oh yeah. Wow. Why don't I just share that?

Why don't I do that? Ain't nothing wrong with that. You're a culture man. You've seen a lot of things.

Been around a lot of places. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did. I did have my time. And I used to see that Tiger out there.

That's badass. What, the Tiger? Yeah, no, just seeing that. It's pretty cool.

No, it's not. It's a tiger in Louisiana by itself outside. Let me put a, let me put a whale downtown here in Midtown Atlanta. Just a whale. You know, we just put them on a city block. Just put them there. Just by himself to do whale things. Like, I don't know. Is a, is a city block big enough for a whale?

Probably not, but let's just put them there. But anyway, you said they're doing what with the Tiger? They got a new one? So like you said, I apologize not knowing. Is it Mike Seven who right now is outside?

Doesn't matter what number he is. It's like Ugga. I can't keep up with how many bulldogs they got here. I don't know. Mike the Tiger has been outside. So they have not brought the Mike the Tiger inside the stadium since 2015. Oh God. Ten years almost.

Right. And that was, now the newest Tiger that's there, he was born, has never been in Death Valley before, only outside the stadium. So LSU for a while, like you said, the governors for a while has been pushing to bring the live Tiger back into the stadium. But because Mike has never, or this current iteration of Mike the Tiger has never been in, LSU has fought at saying that's inhumane to put a Tiger who's been used to, you know, being outside, now throw him in front of a hundred thousand people with all the lights and the screaming and, and the sound and the music. They were afraid of how he was going to react.

But like, like loses you know what, and maybe have a heart attack. Exactly right. Which is what happened to the last Tiger fortune, why they, they stopped putting Mike and the Tiger in the stadium in the first place is that's unfortunate happened, had an adverse reaction.

But politicians, right, they can't hear the word no, kept pushing. And now the governor, and this is all alleged because LSU has not confirmed this, but I think we'll see it tomorrow on the sidelines for real. Allegedly LSU is planning, or the governor I should say, is planning on bringing a Tiger from a different part of Louisiana, different sanctuary. And I'm assuming busing that Tiger in to now be placed on the sideline for the game tomorrow. So it's not Mike the Tiger officially, but you have a different Tiger on the sideline. This is also, this is also another Tiger who's probably never been in a stadium with 100,000 people, right? Yes, because I'm assuming that sanctuary, wherever it may be, in a different part of Louisiana, I'm assuming, like you said, part of the training is not throwing them in a stadium in one of the most hostile college football environments you could ever find on this planet.

I don't think there's any training for that. But he's younger, as hard as better, right? Is that what it is?

He got a better heart. I mean, that feels, I will say skeevy. I like Mike the Tiger and the idea, but this idea seems very skeevy. Hickey, if this was a cartoon, and this is not, this is real life, it'll never happen. But if this was a cartoon, if this was like an episode of Family Guy, the Tiger would get loose and it would rip the governor to shreds. That would be, what do I say, because I can't advocate violence. That would be interesting.

Yeah, it would be interesting. But this is not, life is not a cartoon. That's right. And so this Tiger will go into the stadium, as he shouldn't be in the stadium. Is it really that damn necessary to put a Tiger in a football?

Do we need that? Will Alabama be intimidated, do you think, actually? No, Hickey, I'm changing it.

Millrow is going off, Hickey, okay? Get LSU the hell up on out of here, bringing in live Tigers. We want to talk some more college football, get into some more NFL. It's the JR Sport Reshow, the Infinity Sports Network. Leave the damn Tigers alone.
