Oh, welcome in the latest step us or that SEC podcast. I'm your host, Mike bread. I go by SEC Mike on Twitter. And I've joined as always, but my cousin

Shane, who goes by big orange fries on Twitter? What do you do? You be Tennessee Homer. Hey, babe, what's going on? It's Friday, baby.

Yeah, feeling great, Shane, feeling recharged. I got a great idea for this episode. We didn't want to go two days without putting out a show, but we needed to rest and recover day. And now we're back to finish the week strong. I'm excited. How you doing, brother?

Yeah, I doing good, doing good. Yeah, got a wild weekend plan. So it's always nice. You know, Friday's always my favorite day. Got paid, you know, you're feeling good. You know, the day just goes by a little bit quicker. So I'm glad we can get some SEC content to those that are having to do the grind one more day.

Yep. And don't forget Shane, happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. I'm sure we got plenty of mothers listen and plenty of guys that just now realize this Mother's Day. Get out there and get something. We're trying to give you a helping head here. I wish we had a deal with one 800 flowers or something to give him.

I can't go lie. You just PSA me, brother. All right. I got two extra days. Thanks, Mike. I appreciate that.

Try to keep you out of the dog house. Exactly. So let's get right into it, Shane. Like I said, we got a fun idea on the back end, but we do got a couple news and notes around the SEC that I wanted to jump to first. And let's start, Shane.

Down in college station, this is the time of the year, Shane, that Steve Sparrier, he came up with the term talk in season. And it's talking season. It's always talking season for us, Shane.

But these coaches right now, they're going to these booster clubs, quarterback clubs, whatever you have it, they're talking to to alums and donors and all that. And that is what Jim Bofischer is doing. And remember, he did it two years ago, Shane, when he said, we are going to beat Nick Saban's ass.

And that went viral. They ended up doing it. Now he's doing the talking season right now as well, Shane. And some pretty good comments from old Jim Bofischer. Unfortunately, no videos. We don't have video of this, but I'm just going to read you what he said.

One of the fans asked him a question. You know, they have Q&A moments during these. Yeah, he said you're going to kick Alabama's ass again, Jimbo. And Jimbo says, well, I'm sleeping well right now. I promise you that.

And again, would you both talk stretch about saving an Alabama? I mean, he backed it up last time. So yeah, I can't wait for this. You know what?

That's what I want, man, too. I mean, Jimbo, we want him confident. We want, you know, because we've got some, we've got some damage control here from last year. And I think coming out, you know, saying the right thing is important, but backing it up is even more important.

So yes, my head coach coming out here, you know, putting a hammer down that he's, you know, that he's going to, he didn't say it, but, you know, he said it, that Alabama here were coming for you.

I think that that would that tickle me pink brother.

And then one more, Shane, he talked about TCU. I mean, everybody down here in Texas probably fired up my favorite one.

Why aren't the long horns and Aggies, you know, why aren't they getting to the college football play off TCU made it before they did. Well, here's what Jimbo had to say about that.

He's, again, he's talking about TCU. TCU stayed healthy. They had a lot of experience. And they got to where they had to get. And then they got to the SEC and it changed it.

So it's all fun and games till it's 65 to seven.

And that's that's 100% the truth. You know what? Yeah, no, that is it, man. But it's the same old same old. We keep saying you haven't played anybody yet. Well, TCU officially did play somebody. And I think which they didn't.

So this is this is awesome. And again, Jimbo taking stabs at neighbors, taking stabs at West opponents. This is this is what we do, man.

This is this fuels us in the offseason. Don't think Nick Sabin ain't saving that clip. I'm going to remind them boys back home that Texas A&M thinks they're going to beat us, you know.
