| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Boneyard with Steve Robertson. As always, I am your good friend and host, Steve Robertson. I bet you didn't expect to hear for me today. But we had some technical issues yesterday, and even though the show eventually got posted, I felt bad. And so I wanted to make it up to you. And as you guys know, some pretty big things happened yesterday. I picked up a couple new commitments. KJ. Costello, not a huge |
| 0:21.4 | surprise. But man, what great news. What great news for Mississippi State fans. We're going to talk |
| 0:28.2 | about KJ a lot today, talk a little bit about Kyle Cass and kind of give you guys one final look |
| 0:33.2 | at what I expect to happen tomorrow. I don't know when this show gets up. I don't know when you have a chance to listen to it, but this is a bonus show. I'll be back tomorrow on Wednesday to recap what happened in Lexington tonight. Not going to spend a lot of time talking basketball. I want to talk about Kay J. Costello. I want to talk about what this means for Mississippi State, what it means for Mike Leach, because to be honest with you, Mike Leach, |
| 1:01.0 | as prolific as he has been, as a play caller in his career, has not had a quarterback like this as a head football coach. He just hasn't. K.J. Costello, better than Cliff Kingsbury, better |
| 1:07.4 | than Graham Harrell, better than all the guys he's had in Washington State. |
| 1:12.8 | Probably, I would say, the best quarterback prospect since he had Tim Cowell to Kentucky. |
| 1:19.8 | That's how big it is. |
| 1:22.0 | So now you have a true bona fide NFL prospect to coming up like quarterback. |
| 1:30.6 | This is a guy, too, that would be, he'd be preparing for the draft right now if he'd |
| 1:36.6 | not been injured this year. So let's get into all that. Let's break down KJ. We're going to go back. |
| 1:41.3 | We're going to go back. And I'm going to tell you everything that's out there about k j costello and then you can feel somewhat educated and then be able to uh to share some of this |
| 1:50.5 | with your friends at the water cooler because let me go ahead and share this with you now |
| 1:53.6 | there are a lot of people around the southeastern conference that are a little bit shaky |
| 1:58.6 | headed today like well you, we were kind of |
| 2:01.2 | counting that W against Mississippi State. And now they're going to bring in that 335 crazy |
| 2:07.0 | blitz scheme, defense. They're going to bring in that stupid air raid. And now they've got an NFL |
| 2:12.3 | prospect of quarterback. Man, I don't know if we wanted that to happen. |
| 2:22.7 | So as great as things are for us, it's making some other people kind of think, man, |
| 2:25.8 | something's happening down there in Stargville. |
| 2:29.7 | I sure was hoping they'd hang on to Joe Moore ahead for another year. |
| 2:31.6 | And you know what? |
