0:00.0	A Super Talk Mississippi Media Production.
0:06.8	Joining us now to talk a little college football on the podcast, David Ubbin from The Athletic.
0:11.4	I also host a great podcast of his own football and grits with our friend, Brody Miller.
0:15.5	David, you're kind of like Moby Dick here.
0:17.2	I've been trying to get you on radio or a podcast with me for like a year and a half.
0:20.6	So I'm finally, I finally got there. I appreciate you coming all with you, man. I appreciate it. No problem.

1:14.8	You know, obviously KJ Jefferson has a ton of experience and all of those things.
1:16.0	They lost a lot on defense as well.
1:21.5	But you know, when they lost him last year, it showed they just don't have a great option behind him.
1:27.2	You know, Kate Forden is okay, but ultimately, you know, that team looked tired.
