| 0:00.0 | Something about this song just gets every single bone inside my body dancing. |
| 0:16.1 | Welcome back into the Blitz. |
| 0:17.8 | John Abraham, Joe Hunk with you. |
| 0:19.8 | Here on 9770 ESPN, The Zone. Is it that I don't get no money part? Yeah. I'm broke. You got 10? You can spot me? At least like $10 tippy toe. Like, I got to get down the road. I need to gas. No, I'm good. I'm good, too. And I know our next guest is feeling great as well. Ben Garrett from Rebel Grove on three joins us on the neighbor's wealth management hotline here on the Blitz. And Ben, of course, coming off of that big win against LSU's got to make you feel really good. But there's other things that are making you feel good about life right now. And just, you know, introduce yourself as a brand new guest to our show. Well, first of all, if you are handing out money, fellas, I'll take whatever you're giving. I don't know. I shut that down quickly. I didn't want to start a trend, man. I did not. I can get a go on me set up in the next |
| 1:11.9 | 15 minutes if that's what y'all need. You know, you just let me know whatever it is. And, yeah, I'll take your paper. That'd be very sweet because misery loves company. We're all broke these days. You know what I mean? We are. And a lot of it is a, oh, hey, my team is winning now. you know what, that game I didn't think about going to, |
| 1:26.2 | I may try to figure out a way to get into the stadium. |
| 1:28.3 | Like, let's just see. |
| 1:29.1 | Like, you know, do I get the bills paid? |
| 1:30.6 | Like, let's see. |
| 1:31.3 | What he's... winning now. You know what? That game I didn't think about going to. I may try to figure out a way to get into the stadium. Like, let's just see. Like, you know, do I get the bills paid? Like, let's see. What I can hold off on. But everything is good, man. God is good. And I'm so thankful to Shannon, Terry, and on three and Will Crawl. Those guys allowing me to continue to do this job that I've done for 17 years and it's been so good to me and I love and I love it so much. So God is good guys and now it's just time to talk some balls. |
| 1:50.3 | So a big win for Old Miss on Saturday. The biggest most consequential, most complete, I think, |
| 1:57.1 | win for Lane Kiffin in six years at Old Miss. I mean, they've had some big wins, obviously. |
| 2:01.1 | Georgia last year would classify about that too, but they had some little bit more offensive struggles with that win, even though they dominated Georgia. This game, even when LSU was tough and they were making it tough on Ole Miss, the adjustments they made, the persistence in which they play with with the identity they formed with Trin Chamblis. It was just an incredible display of uniformity across the board for Ole Miss and kind of |
| 2:22.5 | the direction and where things are for this program across the board. |
| 2:26.6 | So it's just a great Ole Miss Dave, not just for the fans and experiencing an amazing |
| 2:30.6 | atmosphere and a hell of a football game. |
| 2:34.1 | But, you know, I think a real statement about where Ole Miss is a program, both is now |
| 2:38.5 | and as a contender for the college football playoff this year, when many thought replacing |
| 2:42.5 | all but four starters in their start and they're all 22, there would be, you know, some type |
| 2:47.9 | of drop off or a rebuilding year or a reset of a year. But no, Ole Miss is right where it's been for the last three years. I mean, since, what, 2021? They're the third. They've got the third best winning percentage in the SEC behind Alabama and Georgia. This program is not the Ole Miss of Old. And Saturday was, you know, a flashing red light of that truth. Well, I do want to talk about that young quarterback that has come in, and it's really |
| 3:11.5 | shown how amazing this team truly is, not just at the starting position, but the depth of |
| 3:17.6 | it as well. |
