We start hour number two of the Jim Rome Show, which is presented by FanDuel. Every day, my thanks to our friends at FanDuel. One more thought about Joe Thomas and the fact that he played over 10,000 consecutive snaps. 10,000. And not exactly for the Patriots, right?
Who were in it every single year. Like the Browns were never, ever in it at any time when he was there virtually. Yet he never came off the field. And you hear that phrase, I never want to come off the field. Guys come off the field.
He never came off the field until he shredded his triceps. And that wasn't until 2017. He actually could have played his entire career without. Never mind. without missing a game, but without missing a play.
I mean, it's the most absurd thing ever. And you know I couldn't get into this with him because we didn't have the time. You know there were times when he was injured. You know, not in pain, but actually injured and had no business being out there. And it was the epitome of for who, for what, Joe?
For who? For what? Why are you out there? Why are you out there? Because you can't say you're out there because we're this close to winning a playoff game, or we're this close to making the playoffs, or we have a shot at the Lombardi.
So why was he out there? And he made it clear: I wasn't coming off the field until they told me I had to come off the field. Until a training staffer said to me, Joe, you can't play. We're not going to allow it.
So, why was he out there? For his teammates? For his teammates. And because he had this standard And this this personal ethos. I'm never coming off the field.
Like, I've never seen anything like it. And again, for a bad team. And a bad organization, and still he loved it, and he loved his teammates. Over ten thousand consecutive snaps. And I didn't get into it like How many times should you not have been out there?
What was the worst injury you had? He just didn't talk about it, he just went out there. And then the whole thing about Caleb Williams. I don't want to get into this whole thing with you clones, and I don't want to fight the entire internet on this. But again, my personal, I personally believe.
Then I've got Joe Tourette's. Did you see where he went with that? When I said, did he overreact? Did he overreact or did he panic because he thought that he was seriously injured and his year was over? People are You're going to believe, you're going to hear what you think, or you're going to hear what you want to hear because I see in chat right away: they're like, see, see, see, Joe said it.
And You're saying That he said what you wanted to hear. That's not what I heard. Like we all heard something different. I heard a guy say when I said, did he overreact or did he panic because he thought it was bad. My personal opinion still about Caleb Williams in that moment was not he was reacting because it hurt.
He had this overreaction because he couldn't deal with the pain. I personally think his reaction And it was Pretty excessive. But I think he reacted that way because of what Joe said. Everything was finally set up in my career. This was our year.
I was playing great. I was comfortable. People are counting on me. We have a Super Bowl team, and it all went up in flames. Because what I feel is really unnatural and I think my season is over.
And that's why I'm freaking out. That's why when he went off on the cart and he had his towel over his head and he gave the thumbs up sign, it was like the signal: I'll be back. I'm going to be gone for a while, but I'll be back. He was acting like a guy. Who knew his season ended?
I'm good. But my season's over. But for a lot of you, no, Rome, that's not what that was. That was a dude who has fingernail polish, who tweaked his widow Hammy, and is in pain and is screaming. And he chipped his fingernail polish.
You love that one. I know you love that meme. He chipped his fingernail polish. And then the problem with that is though, the problem for Caleb, this is juxtaposed against Jackson Dart, who actually did suffer a season ending injury, who requires surgery, who would not leave and tried to sneak back in the game. And they had to rip his jersey from him and his pads, and he wanted to go back in the game.
And that was after he waved off a cart and walked all the way to the tunnel himself. Walked off on his own power, did not go in for an x-ray, and wanted to re-enter the game.
So that's not good for Caleb. Or The internet, that's actually very good for the internet. That's saying that Caleb chipped his fingernail. And had to go get another manicure.
So, to me, that was a great, great case study of Joe Thomas, Hall of Famer, one of the toughest guys ever. When I asked him about that, he said something, and we all heard what he said, but we heard different things. You hear what you want to hear. Hey, Jim, would you change your mind about having lunch with Todd Munkin if Joe Thomas supplies the beef? Mike from Cleveland.
Tell you what. I will change my mind about having lunch with a monk in if Joe Thomas supplied the Japanese wagu and Joe Thomas were at that lunch. Mucky, mucky, mucky. No more. I'm not having lunch with the monk in just because Joe supplied the beef.
Okay. It would make it more, okay? It would make it more likely, but no, in and of itself, that would not be enough. Yeah. Hello.
Down mono on mono. Rome. This is harsh. Romy, I love how the Packers are finger-pointing at their fans. They must have learned this from the best blamer.
In the NFL, Aaron Rodgers. Hey Kraft. You want to blame the fans? They love that piece of crap team of yours and absolutely nothing else. They are fat, stupid losers who would probably buy you a steak at Applebee's, Green Bay's finest establishment, just for being the piece of crap player that you are.
War Green Bay fat asses realizing their team sucks worse than that crap hole they live in. Sign score Sam. Iowa via San Diego. Wow, dude, that is harsh. Packer fan.
You better react to that. Explain how it feels. I mean this. This is a really good point of conversation. Packer fan.
See what you saw last night. And knowing that you are what you are. What do you make of one of your best players saying, man, they don't need to be booing us, not on opening night? I don't when I think of Lambeau Field, I don't think of that. My personal take is when I think of Lambeau Field, I don't think about the ass play that I saw on that field.
But that's just me. That's just California Jim. Packer fan. You have braved the elements year after year after year. You've seen a team that was not competitive, and you've seen a team that was the best team in the NFL.
You've seen a team that has a rich tradition in history. I mean Lombardi Bart Starr My man Jerry Kramer. Paul Horning. Brett Favre, Aaron Rogers, And then you've seen ass. But what do you think?
What do you make? when you expressed your displeasure, because that I don't want to speak for you, Packer fan, but am I accurate in saying this? Is that not some of the worst football you have ever seen on that field? Is that not some of the worst football you've ever seen in all three phases? Top to bottom?
How often have you been there and booed?
So, what is your reaction to one of the players saying, come on now? We deserve better than that. on opening night at Lambea. Tell me why you booed, and then tell me how it makes you feel when a player says, That's not cool. That's not right.
That's out of line. I mean, I'm really curious about that. I experienced Packer fan. Firsthand, back in the day. I'm not talking about when Jake Rome went to Wisconsin and we started to go there in the summertime, and we have a house in the Northwoods.
I'm talking about. Lambo. I'm talking about the first time I experienced Lambo. The first time I experienced Packer fan. 1996, December, freezing cold.
I was there. And I was blown away by Packer fan. Blown away by that town, blown away by the entire experience. Amazing fans. Seems to me They've earned the right to boo.
Especially with that. Can I reiterate one more time? to Tucker Kraft, to any player that took offense to that. This was not one bad night. This was not a one-off.
This is a pattern. This is a spiral. This has been going on. This started last year when you lost five in a row and you lost to the Bears in the playoffs. And then you picked up right where you left off.
And you're one and two, and you should be 0-3, and you should be riding an eight-game losing streak. And, and not only were you embarrassed, and punked, and knocked the hell out. But it was by the Fail Clowns, by a quarterback in Michael Penix that wasn't ready to play earlier, that hasn't played in quite some time, that was coming off surgery. and who knew what to expect, and then started the game with a pick. The Fail Clowns did that to you.
And we don't even need to run down all the numbers and how horrible they were: the rushing yardage, the passing yardage. The block field goal. I thought that was one of the strengths of the team, by the way. The special teams. I thought they were back.
You know, and then and then Yeah. The late hit and the flag, and then Bajan going for 55 yards on the very next play. Packer fan. I don't want to sit here in my California studio and speak for you. Get your asses in here and let me know.
What it's like to watch this team play the way it is right now, and then to have one of your star players point the finger at you. And blame you. It's pretty disappointing. He ain't made that pretty clear. Previous morning.
I picture my home stadium. That's tough. One more thing about the chat that's really interesting. Jim, my man. For years.
90s. I've been listening to your show. I never cared to engage much. Called a couple of times, didn't get run or racked, tweeted here and there, but I never really found a groove until Y T chat. My brother, not only has it given me a voice in the jungle, I have dozens of like minded friends that I talk to every day for three hours.
Alone psst. Please! War the Chat Zoo. Please. War US veterans.
And thank you, my friend, Frank B. No, Frank, thank you, my man. Thank you for your service. Isn't that amazing? One of the things that I took the most pride in regarding this show is the jungle community, the clones.
You clones have always been one of the biggest reasons why this show is so unique. And it's amazing that even with that community, that's a guy that's been listening since the 90s but never found his people. never found his rhythm, never found his place, never had a reason to engage until he found Chad. And now he does it for three hours every day, and he has dozens of like-minded friends. Chat's so funny.
Like, I love the way y'all greet each other every single day. Like, yo, what's going on? Yo, what up, fam? Good, man. I love it.
Absolutely love it. 1-800-636-8686. All right, so go ahead. I mentioned at the start of the year, who would have thought for week three? That Raiders Saints would have been one of the more intriguing matchups.
But Raiders Saints is one of the more intriguing matchups. Jawan Johnson. Will join us at the top of hour number three. Can you imagine? And by the way, the Saints are nice.
The Saints are fun. The Saints are good. The Saints very well could be 2-0. Can you imagine? We could have had a 2-0 v2-0 matchup.
But imagine a world where not only the Raiders are 3-0, but what if they beat a good Saints team to get there? Imagine a world where the Saints, or I should say the Raiders, are 3-0, and the Chargers are 0-3. Damn, that's a world I want to live in. For real. I also want to talk college football.
We'll do that when we come back because there are some great matchups, great matchups in the college game. And I want to play a new game. Who needs it the most? Talk some college ball on the other side of this. Keep the engagement coming.
I like it. Your clones are doing a great job. Engaging what about now? Yeah. A few years ago, a loss in our family was a reminder that life is unpredictable.

I'm gonna tell you something. To me, it's a really good topic. A really good topic. Packer fan, how do you feel about your star player, your star tight end saying, Hey, man, don't boo us. That's not what I think of when I think of Lambeau.
It's a really good topic, and Packer fans are nowhere to be found. It's a really good topic with nobody participating, but I understand why you're laying low today, Packer fan. Like that one Packer fan said, Rome, the one thing I did not want to do, the one thing I was not looking forward to, was flipping you on and hearing you light us up today. You act like I take pleasure in this. I don't.
I'm one of you. I'm adopted to you. I'm like adopted half am. I just have a job to do. But I understand why I can't find you.

So it's all the managers. I will see you all there, and we'll talk ball. Saxon college ball in the meantime.
Now, we had to wade through some less than epic college football Saturdays to get here. I understand that. But you know what tomorrow is? Tomorrow is a scrumptious slate of games. You've got Ole Miss at Florida.
You have Texas at Tennessee. You have Texas AM at LSU. And to me, And yes, I'm about to say this to me: the biggest one of all: Oregon coming down here to SoCal to take on the fighting Lincoln Rileys of USC. And man, is this a huge game. Let me start with Link.
Huge game for Link.
Well, actually, let me put it to you this way. in the form of a question. Which coach? is actually under the most pressure this weekend. A new game.
Who needs it the worst? Who needs a dub the most? Is it Lincoln Riley? Or Dan Lanning? And can you believe we're we're actually including him in this?
Or Mike Elko? Or Lane Kiffin. We're all the above. Who needs it the most? Let's start with Lincoln because this is arguably the biggest game in his USC tenure based on where he is at this point.
It's a legitimate inflection point for the USC program with two forks in the road. Do they stay undefeated and keep on the march towards finally having the kind of year that they expected when they hired Link four years ago? Or is USC going to lose another big yet winnable game and head right back towards more of the same of what we've seen in the last four years? Mediocrity. This is a huge game.
For this dude. And the program. Link needs a win over somebody who really matters. Actually, he needs multiple wins over somebody who really matters. And honestly, right now, Oregon is wobbly.
They're almost taking a standing eight. They're imminently beatable. despite being favoured. That said, somehow it it's almost as big for Dan Lanning. I can't believe I'm saying this, but almost as big for Dan Lanning in Oregon because they've lost their mojo.
Man, they're not right. Oregon has already taken a loss. They cannot afford to fall to 2-2 in a year where they were supposed to be top natty contenders with a quarterback who came back. Who came back to win a national championship and is going to be a top draft pick? Oregon has been disappointing so far, but Lose this game, and suddenly it goes from disappointing to alarming.
From my guy Dan Lanning. And all the considerable resources that he has in Eugene. It's just weird. I guess that's what I'm saying. It's just weird.
Like, unlike Lincoln, this has not been going on for years with Dan Lanning. But it's going on. And he's going through it. It's weird because it just seems so strange that he's flat, they're flat, and they're in a must-win situation already. What happened to the smack-talking in-your-face Dan Lanning?
I want that guy, I want the guy who dunked all over Coach Prime with his epic line: they're fighting for clicks, we're fighting for wins. They're fighting for clicks, we're fighting for wins. That guy. What happened to that guy? I want the guy who delivered that epic Trojan funeral speech before their last game against USC.
Really simple. For the seniors in this room, you get an opportunity to lay it on the line. They're living off their history. Matt Leinhardt, he ain't walking through there. Reggie Bush ain't gonna show up.
But I'll tell you who he is. Dante Moore's gonna show up. Bryce Betcher is gonna show up. Poncho gonna show up. Blake Purchase gonna show up.
You got the warriors necessary to go walk out there and deliver. Understand something. Why are you wearing black? You're going to a Trojan funeral. That guy.
That guy. Why are you wearing black? We're going to a Trojan funeral. Matt Leinhart. Ain't walking through that door.
Reggie Bush ain't walking through that door. That man, I miss that guy. You kidding me with that juice and that intensity and that fire. The speed talking, gummy ass, and ain't walking through that door either. That's the kind of fire Oregon needs to bring to this game.
I mean, believe me, it's a really winnable game that they have to win. Rutgers just put up thirty-five on the Trojans last week. I thought Gary Patterson was going to come in and fix that defense. Rutgers put up 35 on him. Either way, it does feel like the guy who loses this game is going to find himself on a pretty hot seat.
Next, the stakes. Not nearly that high in Baton Rouge, but still pretty damn high, right? Because Lane Kiffin is coming off in all time humbling at the hands of the entire city of Oxford, Mississippi.
Meanwhile, my guy, Mike Elco. Fresh off taking a stunning ass-kicking at Kyle Field at the hands of my other guy, Will Stein. in Kentucky.
Now, you know, Lane does not want that old Miss debacle to turn into a losing streak, but LSU is going to be dealing with one pissed-off Aggie team. You can just tell by Mike Elko's post-game press conference last Saturday that AM will be rolling into Death Valley with a serious edge. Hats off to Kentucky. They came in here and they beat our ass. Not good enough from us on any level, coaching, playing, performing, physicality, anything.
And so it's On me, I own it, it's my program, I'm in charge of it, and we have to get it fixed. There's no positives, not an ounce of a positive anywhere.
So there's a there's a there's a product that's not good enough that starts with me. I did not do a good enough job of coaching this team, preparing this team and getting this team to ready to play this week.
So I don't take any positives from this game. And and I don't want to take anything away from Kentucky. Like hats off to Kentucky. I hate when coaches get on the podium and and don't give respect to the team that beat them. Kentucky came in here and they whooped us and so That should be the story of the game.
Bam. Man, that's why I love that guy so much. That's it. You could not handle that aim better than he did. I love that so much.
I love Elko. He is all about the ultimate responsibility, accountability, he's all class. He didn't run any of his players under the bus. He didn't point fingers at anybody. He didn't shift blame.
He just led from the front and said, it's unacceptable. There was not one positive thing that happened today. And that's on me. I did not have them ready. And credit to UK.
Hats off the UK. They whooped our ass. I love that. That fires me up. Anyway, so LSU should expect a very different team.
I guarantee, without knowing, that that carried from that presser through the entire week of practice, he got stomped in his own house. I'm not saying they'll win. I'm saying he'll have them ready. Then you've got the winner of the Big Lane Bowl in Oxford last week, who immediately has to go to Gainesville and take on a resurgent Gators team. This is a fascinating game.
A big ask for old Miss to regroup emotionally after getting that revenge on Lane last week. It's human nature, right? They're young athletes and That is about as high as it gets. Like, I took Lane to task when he said, well, yeah, that was their Super Bowl. I mean, in a way it was.
But that's the whole point. Like, don't give me that. Like, don't act like that wasn't your Super Bowl, Lane. But you're asking old Miss to get back up. Right away.
And not only get back up emotionally and get that same hunger, like go back to ONO, like whatever cliche you want to use, they've got to get ready to go into the swamp. And the Gators are freaking resurgent. And all of a sudden, the Gator nation is feeling it. How much so? They're favored.
They're favored. The Gators are favored in this game, which was shocking news to Gator head coach John Summerall, who earlier this week said this. I mean, you come into this week ranked and against a I mean ranked and favored against a top five team in the nation. Do you? Use that doubt this week to fuel the team.
Who's got his favorite? against these guys. Yeah. There's a lot of good drugs out there, huh? Great stuff.
He's like, hey, Coach, how do you feel about the fact that you're favorite against a top five team?
Well wait wait who's got us favored? Everybody? Pretty much everybody. Every book, everybody.
Well, then there must be some pretty amazing drugs out there. There's a lot of good drugs out there, huh? There are. They're coach. But that's not why you're favored.
I love the honest response. And I understand where he's coming from. But I also understand where Vegas is coming from.
Someone was like We just got our bleep together as a program after a decade of being lost in the wilderness. And you're immediately installing us as favorites against what might be the best team in the country? You have us favoured. Against maybe the best player in the country. But again, it's a big ask for old Miss.
to pull it together and go beat the Gators, especially since Florida's defense before he arrived and last year gave Trinidad Chandler some issues in that game last year. And especially since we're not really sure if Quan Lacey's going to suit up.
So, yes, there are plenty of reasons why Florida opened up as a 3.5 point favorite, and they're still a 3.5 point favorite. Love that game. Lacey is still at last check, officially questionable. Love that matchup. Here's another matchup I love.
A Manning who is going to play quarterback. in Nealand Stadium. But not Peyton. I love that. So what about Arch?
that that is going to be a really hostile environment. Really hostile environment. And what are we going to see from Arch in that hostile environment? Great matchup. I mean, you could argue that Tennessee is not Ohio State, but Tennessee is gonna provide a lot of different challenges.
So, back to my original question. Who needs a win the most this weekend? Believe it or not, I'm going to say it's Lincoln Riley. This guy's got to win this game. If he comes up short, In another big game.
And as I mentioned, it's a big game, but Oregon is not top five. Oregon's ranked 20th. Oregon's been in a free fall. Oregon has lost its swagger. Oregon is wobbly.
Oregon is beatable. If not now, then when, man? They're never gonna be more beatable, probably. USC has to win this game because USC still has to go to Penn State. and Indiana, and host Ohio State.
So it could get really ugly if the Trojans lose here. And there is one more factor here, Trojan fan. You can't avoid this factor. the Bruin factor, the Chesney factor, Because I think right now, most USC fans already would trade Lincoln for Chesney. Tell me I'm wrong.
Trojan fan, go ahead and tell me I'm wrong. Who would you rather have? Chesney or Link? And I'm saying this after only a few games of the Chesney era. That's how good his energy is.
That's how That's how the vibe changed. That's how quickly Bob Chesney changed the culture. In Westwood. It's incredible. Imagine how much worse it's going to be if Lincoln and again, he he was aggressive coming here this year.
It's our time. The billboards are all over LA.
Now it's our time. It's our time. What if he loses to Dan Lanning in Oregon tomorrow? I think Lincoln's got out of that game worse than anybody. I think Dan Lanning needs to stop the bleeding.
That's what I think. Dan needs to stop the bleeding. Lincoln Riley needs that game worse than Dan Lanning. But Lanning's got to find a way to stop the bleeding and figure out what the hell is wrong there. They're flat, man.
I want to go back to those other clips that I played. Happy Friday, Jim. This in response already, I like it. I love a response right away to a take. The Ducks defense is pretty flat.
Unlike Dan Lanning's midsection, No natty again. Bet Oregon and USC Wish they could put the old Pac-12 back together. Gonna be tough getting through the Big Ten with mediocre production. Hell, the Beavers could probably beat both USC and Oregon right now. Thank you.
Levi in Portland. Bro easy. And now you're looking for a shortcut.
Now you're looking for the path of. Least resistance, put the old Pac-12 together so we can dominate because we can't handle the big 10. Come on, Oregon, you're better than that. Jay in the 208. All of USC's games have been preseason games.
They haven't faced anyone of importance. USC ranked twelfth at home against a twenty first ranked Ducks team, and they're the underdogs. Oregon rolls USC. That's not unfair. Organ stop playing well.
They're ranked 20th. 21st. And they are favored coming into USC, and USC is unbeaten. What does that tell you about USC? That nobody's buying them.
That's why Lincoln needs that game so badly. Great college weekend. I love it. Good reaction. Keep it coming.
Keep it comin'. All right, when we come back, still ahead. Talk to More Pro Bowl, Jawan Johnson, tied in for the Saints, will be joining us. You've got the telephone number. You can find me on X.
You can find me in chat. You can find me on email. Other things to talk about. The Niners with another key injury. Can any of these guys get out of bed without getting hurt?
I've never seen anything like it. Not only is there another key injury, they don't even have room on the injured list for this guy. Crazy. Alvi's Week the West is coming up. The ATP is coming up.
And more. Stay tuned. You're listening to that Jim Rome show. My dough never sees a freezer. Faye Hollis makes the biscuits at Hardee's.
I'm up at 5 a.m. every day making biscuits from scratch. Easy there, biscuit lady. Off to create the Hardee's $2 for $5 breakfast menu. Try the new Oscar Meyer bologna biscuit, sausage and egg biscuit, smoked sausage biscuit, biscuit and gravy, or a cinnamon roll.
The $2 for $5 breakfast for a limited time only at participating Hardees. I got up early. The least you can do is show up hungry. Fashion, teriyaki, hot and spicy, and peppered all come in four-ounce bags.
So you can sample different flavors and find the best one for you. Ask for a trapper by name. Because no other jerky compares. Oh, Trapper, what is your beef? The best of the best.
Okay. Alright, so another college football topic that I wanna get into. Kurt Signetti He's not really thrilled right now with a portion of his fan base, and I see the guy working. He's urging fans to stay to the end of games. He's urging fans to stop complaining about blowouts.
He's urging fans to stop complaining about how hot it is. I mean, can you imagine IU fans having any issue with anything at all? Honestly. An Indiana Hoosier football fan having any issue with a blowout or who they scheduled or they didn't blow them out by enough or it's too hot. Holy crap, IU fans not satisfied?
How freaking rich is that? Five minutes ago they were the worst program ever. Literally. Then Kurt Signetti comes in and does the most amazing job in the history of college football. Literally.
He wins a national championship in two years after inheriting the worst college football program ever. And they look to be a playoff team again this year. And they're unbeaten so far. And I don't care who they've played so far. And yet, some of the fans aren't happy.
Some of the fans aren't satisfied.
Some of the fans don't like the blowouts. They're not being blown out enough. I mean, what the hell is going on here? They're not winning by enough, or it's too hot. Anyway, it's worked its way back to Sig because you know the thing about Sig?
Sig knows everything. Always.
So When it came up, or when he thought that he had the opportunity, he checked them and he checked them hard. and did so in an interview. Do we have the video for that? I believe we do. Coach?
What are we 20 and 2? 29 and 2? Yeah. I mean, when we came, I saw the pictures, 10,000 people in the stands. Don't bitch about a 38-0 wind.
He's not wrong. When first of all, he's not wrong about any of that. One, don't bitch about a 38 to nothing win. Two, when he arrived, he did see the pictures, and there were 10,000 people in the stands. Three, when you win a natty.
At Indiana. You're never wrong. Ever about anything, and especially about this. Don't bitch about a 38 to nothing win. Even the most, this is what's incredible to me, even the most beaten down.
downtrodden fans ever Can get awfully spoiled awfully quickly. That didn't take long. Oh, and now it's not enough?
Now it's not good enough.
Now you now you're not satisfied? Man, don't get on the wrong side of this guy. It's not like he couldn't do this somewhere else. It's not like he couldn't replicate this somewhere else. You know why I say that?
Because he just freaking did it in Indiana. If the guy could do it at Indiana, he could do it anywhere. I would not get on the wrong side of this guy. He's not being unreasonable. You you're complaining?
You're bitching? They should be thanking this guy every single day that he still shows up in that facility. I don't care how hot it is. I don't care who they scheduled. I don't care what the final outcome was.
But 38 to nothing is not good enough? What? They didn't cover? Is that your problem? Is it a bet that you lost?
This dude is not only the best thing that ever happened to your football program, he's one of the best things that ever happened to what's already a really good school, honestly. I'm not saying anybody is above reproach. But if anybody is, it's this freaking guy. He hasn't done enough for you? If ever anybody could say, you're welcome, it's that guy.
I could see where he might feel unappreciated. Man, when you hit your knees at night, you best thank the man above for that guy every single night. Yeah, it's pretty simple. He's actually 30 and 2. He doesn't even know how much he's won.
What are we, 20 and 2? No, actually, Seg, you're 30 and 2. Thirty And two at Indiana, and he asked to remind fans to get to the stadium and stay there and watch them. Because by the way, he's going to coach them until the end of the game. He's going to coach them at the start of the game.
So, why are you not there before the game starts? Don't go LA fan, Bloomington fan. Google me. Already? It's incredible.
Like That they're that spoiled. How could you have forgotten already? It just goes to show, man. It could happen to anybody. Worst program ever.
He did the most incredible thing I've ever seen in college ball. And he's got to remind the fans: can he get there? Can he stay there? The players don't leave because it's too hot. The coaches aren't leaving because it's too hot.
Sorry we only won thirty eight nothing. Wild. I want to go back to Mike Elko for a minute. Ironwork C2Z in the chat. Jim, there are rumors Jimbo is lurking around Tallahassee.
If that's true, Elko can't be far behind if Aggies don't bounce back. Coaching portal always open. JT and Austin. Let's not get carried away. Look, I'm not saying.
Did AM Doesn't have ludicrously high. Expectations They do. They spend a hell of a lot of money. I understand this. And I also know they don't have a lot of patience.
They're short on that. Long on money, short on patience. And, believe me, Elko knows you saw that presser. He knows he can't get curb stomped. At home by Kentucky.
He knows that's totally unacceptable, but you're going to tell me after one game, it was a bad loss and a great win. That was a great win by Konzaki. And a bad loss by AM. You're gonna tell me after one bad loss that. People are lurking.
No, he he's not in that kind of trouble. He better not be.
Now. If he goes to the swamp and they get hammered again. I'm still going to say, come on, man. Cut this guy some slack. You loved this guy before this last week, and you should.
Damn good coach. And I don't think that's good comp, Tallahassee. Tallahassee's had a lot of trouble. A lot of trouble. Jay in Tampa.
My wife's libido has tripled, and that's a problem. Signed Indiana fan. Pretty much, dude.
Well said. Pretty much. Just look at this guy, Steve Rogers, B2K. He picks fights with fans because he knows Indiana will always be a basketball school. No, dude, I think that he's not happy because he went to Indiana that had the worst football program ever, and he won a natty.
And now he's seeing some dissatisfaction from the fans. He's 30 and 2. And he sees some dissatisfaction. I think what he's saying is: are you kidding me? You don't appreciate what's going on here?
We didn't win by enough. It's too hot for you.
Okay, sig to me. can say whatever the hell he wants. Especially if he keeps winning. If you were 0-in-4. That'd be one thing.
But he's not. Yeah, by the way The dude's got a lifetime exemption because he won a national championship in Indiana. He can say and do whatever the hell he wants. Not because Indiana is a basketball school, so he knows that he's covered. He's covered because he won a natty in football.
Stay tuned.
