Summary

What a non-bleak weekend it was in the SEC. The guys recap a wild Saturday, which included LSU stunning Florida via a phantom shoe throw. They break down all the ramifications of that and what it means for Florida, Dan Mullen and Kyle Trask the Heisman Trophy race. Speaking of that, the guys talk about Alabama's beatdown of Arkansas and what it means for a strange Heisman weekend. Georgia's offensive resurgence is a popular topic in Athens, so naturally, the guys talk Georgia's 2021 hype train. Plus, 1 thing I liked and 1 thing I didn't like from Tennessee-Vandy and Auburn-MSU. And the guys close with Sunday Apologies and they guess some regular season finale/SEC Championship lines.Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris MarlerLearn more about your ad choices.

We had breaking news come out after, of course, we finished recording an entire podcast.

0:11.0

But two. A two, yes, because Shane was plugged, SEC Championship video and SEC Championship

0:18.2

podcast will be out this week's stand-up. Why are we talking to you right now? Gus Melzon

0:24.8

is finally fired at Auburn. I say finally, because when someone's been on the hot seat for

0:30.8

that long, finally deserves, it's like, you know, the person that's in that on, again, off

0:37.0

again, relationship. Interesting that they're going to be together forever. And instead Auburn,

0:41.6

$21 million dollars for Gus Melzon to finally not work for them. And I'm very surprised.

0:48.1

I'm very surprised. What did I take a few weeks ago about money in the SEC?

0:53.5

Not a thing. Yeah. I am still, like, very surprised as well. I was shocked.

0:59.9

I mean, not trying to make a joke about the other stuff that happened last night, but almost as

1:04.8

much as the Florida shoe thing. We see this video of him dancing last night. That's going to be

1:10.5

cold-takes in the other podcast. Oh, yeah. When you get to that part of the podcast, just know that

whole deal of why, why the surprise, why the surprise came on Sunday at the timing and everything

before really signing period and all that. I get it. Still stunning to see a team fork over $21

1:32.2

million dollars in the midst of a pandemic in which there's budget cuts across the country.

1:37.2

Yeah. And also, you know, to do that with the season, like, it wasn't a great season,

1:42.6

but it wasn't necessarily like the worst season. And so it was, it was kind of surprising because,
