Listen, I as I said from the very beginning, like I don’t have any issue with Liv. Like I the issue I had with Liv and I I’ve said it for day one like you know for them to come in and say this is going to be the future of the game of golf team aspect 54 hole shotgun start this is the future of the game of golf. I you know I just called BS on it and and um you know I I called some of the players out for wanting to say they wanted to play less which wasn’t uh you know some of them isn’t true and I know who they are and and I knew they would want to play more than just 14 15 times a year. So, but don’t fault them for taking money or anything, but another duly noted podcast comes to you from the Melvin Law Studios at the Hienda. Okay, welcome into another duly noted podcast. As always, brought to you by our good friends at Titan MRI and Imaging and coming to you from the Melden Law Duly Dome Gator Studio here at the house. We are have a great show for you today. We’re going to be joined by the legend Billy Horchel, my man Billy Hoe, who um of course has been dealing with injuries and now is back playing and he’ll he’ll give us an update on that and he’ll also talk some Gator football as well, believe me. Um, Coach Coach Spurer on Monday as always. And then Tony Barnhart will join us on we’re going to do a Wednesday show um because of Thanksgiving obviously and everybody wants to enjoy Thanksgiving and I got to go out of town for Thanksgiving. Uh but Wednesday we’re going to do a show with Tony Barnhart. He is wrapping up his farewell tour as he’s retiring and he’s writing a book about it and everything and he’s gone to all the schools. So that’ll be a fun visit with Tony Tony B. We always love talking to Mr. College Football U. All right, let’s get to our Royal Blue starting five. It is brought to you by Randy Royal over at Royal Blue Yacht Sales. He does a great job over there. The only place to go when you need a boat is Royal Blue. Let’s get to number one on our Royal Blue starting five, and that is Florida’s playing Tennessee this weekend. I know you’re aware of it. It’s so funny because when they flash it up um you know as being a big deal on ESPN and I’m like in fact somebody was saying the somebody was doing a basketball game I think it was yesterday and they were going you know that’s that’s an un uh undervalued rivalry there or you know Florida Tennessee and I’m like what are you talking about? It was the biggest rivalry in sports in the ‘9s. It was huge. Um, and it’s been huge since then, uh, at many times. But the fact that Florida usually beats him is is a factor as well. Uh, but but that’s not the point. The point is, what is Florida playing for? They aren’t going to a bowl. They’re not going anywhere. They’re I mean, some guys are going places. Uh, but that’s the weird thing. And that is a mystery. And I don’t want to I don’t want to accuse anybody of anything here. All I’m going to say are the facts. And that is that at least three times that I can think of this year, Florida has brought a player to Monday interviews. And then that player has been declared uh put on the injury list and and doesn’t play. Something happens on that Tuesday practice, I guess. But now it’s George Gums is having in uh surgery um on his knee. They say he could be back for FSU. Do you really think he’s going to come back for the FSU game? I know you and I all want to go and beat FSU here at home. You want to protect the home turf. You don’t want them digging up your turf, all that stuff and everything. But I mean, I made this joke on to the quarterback club Tuesday night. I said, “Yeah, Florida, FSU, that game has been announced. is going to be on the History Channel because that’s that’s all they have is history. They don’t have anything present right now. Um anyway, I’m I’m I’m going off on a tangent, but it just is mysterious how Florida gets so many guys hurt. Is it the way they train? Is it the way they practice? Is it that maybe these guys are like, “I could play through this, but we’re not going anywhere. I might as well get surgery.” Is it? Yeah, I want to make sure that I’m 100% when I go to my next school. I don’t know. And I’m not around it, so I’m not gonna say that any of those things are true, but it just feels like a lot. They’ve got 12 guys listed as out and they’re all pretty good players. Um, really good players in some cases. I think Jacobe Jackson may be saying, “Hey, look, yeah, I could play, but I I want to go ahead and keep my red shirt intact.” I think there are a lot of guys like that and they’re looking at it. This is the business of what college football has become and we have to deal with it. I I just wanted to get off on that rant because it feels like a lot. I did mention this to somebody the other day. It was actually to Zack Albaverie. We were talking about it and he said, you know, I thought the same thing and then I went and looked at a bunch of other ones like in the Big 10 and the ACC and there are other schools that have the same problem. I’m like, well, maybe they do have the same problem. Maybe they’re taking the wrong nutrients or what. I don’t know. I don’t know. But I want to I don’t it just feels like of all the things that have gone wrong this year, the one that doesn’t get a lot of attention is that they’ve had so many injuries. Everybody going into the season, all they were worried about was DJ Lagway getting hurt. That is all anybody cared about. Oh, DJ can’t get hurt. We’re in trouble if DJ gets hurt. one game into the season like I think maybe Trel Jones who is actually on the injury report now too. Uh I think Trel Jones could uh should be the starter. And then you know it it is what it is. But by the way just to give you the spread uh spreads are uh courtesy of mybookie.ag. Um, it opened at 4 1/2 or I’m sorry 3 and 1/2 went down up to 4 1/2 which is a big move a point full point move and it went up really quick and now it’s back down to four. I I just look Tennessee is leading the uh second in the nation I think in touch in defensive touchdowns and offensively they’re leading the SEC in every every category. you know, Joey Aguilar will throw some picks. He’s thrown 10 picks. Um, they’re going to try to run the ball. They got three different running backs they put in there. They got a good team. They’re not a great team. They’re certainly not an elite team, but they’re a good team. They haven’t really beaten good teams this year. They’ve lost some tough games to them, but they’re very good. Um, Florida’s going to have to play at a high level. And to win this game, they need to do what they’ve done the last couple of weeks, which is not make a lot of penalties. they got and not they need to do something different which is not turn the ball over and not though interceptions but I don’t know where you know we got the 17th sellout again we’ve talked about this before a sellout at Florida is different than it is some places but there’ll be a lot of empty seats and again ticket master and StubHub and all those buy up a lot of seats thinking they can sell them probably thinking the Florida Tennessee game we’re going to buy a ton of seats because that’s going to huge and now it’s nothing. Um, so you know that those those seats go unused sometimes and so you get a lot of empty seats. But anyway, it’s still listed as a sellout. I can only go by that. Um, it’ll be I think it’ll be I think the crowd will be into it. Look, they’re not there’s nobody to boo anymore. You know, you you got rid of the coach. He’s gone. Um, there’s nobody to boo. So just go get the job done. Cheer for your f cheer. This is your last next to last chance, penultimate chance to go and and root for your team and tailgate and see friends. And you probably won’t see these people after next week for another nine months. So go enjoy it and please do. I know my wife’s going. She’s going to have a great time. All right, let’s move to number two on our Royal Blues starting five. And that is this whole Keifin saga, which just keeps taking weirder turns left and right. And it I know there are a lot of people a lot of people out there going, “We need a decision.” And like you’re it’s like it’s your life. It’s not your life. It’s his life. Okay? Your life is what he does is going to affect you. I get that it’s going to affect everybody. It’s going to affect me. It’s It certainly is going to affect everybody who’s a Gator fan. Um but whatever he does, he does. I am so concerned. I think that the Gator Nation is going to lose its mind if he says goes to LSU or stays at Old Miss or says, “Oh, all along I was planning on going um to the Titans or something.” I I don’t know. whatever he does, he does. And and and don’t hold it against him. Just I mean, he’s got to make a decision for him and his family. Now, all this crazy stuff that’s been going on, the plane coming into Gainesville, the the u um Lane Keifin’s wife, ex-wife, Leila, um who I actually served us at an Outback one time, which is pretty cool. Um, and his son Knox apparently met with Mark Whitmore, the coach at Buoltz or assistant coach. Is he a head coach now still or I know he left for a while and then came back. Anyway, he’s he is Mr. Boltz. We know that. Um, so he they also had a plane to LSU. A lot of this is the master puppeteer right here, Jimmy Sexton going, “Here’s what we’ll do. We’ll have you we’ll have you send family to both places. That’s going to leverage them against each other and against Old Miss. Oh, this is perfect. And you can’t come out and say you’re happy at Old Miss. You’re going to stay here forever. You can’t do that. You got to you got to just keep them guessing. Well, there’s no ultimatum. Well, maybe there is. But we just want to know. They want to know, too. At in at in at Oxford, they’re trying to win a championship. Look, it’s the way the calendar is. It’s it’s messed up. We all know that. And then we have this whole John John Sumall story which kind of came out of left field where John Sumall, it’s reported on on three had the story um that John Sallall’s meeting with Florida. Wow. People start losing their minds. Next thing you know, John Srell says, “I’m not meeting with Florida. There is no meeting.” Well, he canled it because he didn’t want the word to get out. He wanted to keep it quiet. And I know that Scott Strickland probably wanted to keep it quiet. Look, I I know Florida still wants Keifin the most, but they got to have another guy. They got to have somebody in mind. This is a national search, right? So, you’re going to talk to other people. And I know they’ve got a season going. They’ve got a chance to make the playoffs. Nobody’s t talking about what will happen if John Sumroll has to walk away from that job while they’re in the playoffs because you know they’re not going to win maybe one game. I I don’t even know if they could win one if they get in. They’re not even sure to in miss is in. We know that. Um it just keeps getting weirder and weirder every day. Um but that is what coaching searches are about. I don’t miss that part of my job. Usually I would have called uh Scott Strickland four times a day every day for the last few weeks and of course gotten the same answer which is it’s going to take time. We’ll get it figured out. But now I can just sit back and watch it and just watch everybody button heads and getting mad at each other and um it’s crazy. But that’s what coaching searches are. They are tracking planes and doing all that. It is what it is. We’ll see what happens. Maybe next week we’ll find out. And whatever happens, guys, Florida’s gonna end up having a head football coach, okay? He will be male. I know that he will be somebody who’s won somewhere. It may not be your your first choice, but if it’s not, you still got to support him, right? You’re cheering for the laundry. That’s the bottom line. Don’t try to run out the new guy as soon as he gets here. Don’t go don’t fire ronzuk.com. Don’t do that on them. Okay. Anyway, all right. Let’s get to number three on our Royal Blue starting five. And that is that continuing with the coaching carousel. Of course, James Franklin take takes a job at Virginia Tech. That is a great hire. Um because he will make you better than you’ve been in a long time. Virginia Tech. Can he take you to the mountaintop? Of course not. I don’t think he if he couldn’t do it at Penn State, I don’t know how he’s going to do it at Virginia Tech. However, he can leave you with a better program than you than he is inheriting. And it’s not a great program at all right now. Um they Yeah, it’s just they don’t have the players is is part of the problem. Is he But is he going to get you to the mountain top? No, because by the time he’s getting close to the mountain top, he is going to bolt for another better job. Virginia Tech is a good job. It’s not a great job by any means. I love all their fan base. I love the um stadium, you know. Um everything is really nice about it. It’s good, but and they’re putting more more and more money to it, but it’s not a glamour job. It’s not, you know, a destination job, unless you’re Frank Beamer, I guess. Um so, we’ll see what happens there. Meanwhile, Sarkc says, “Look, I’m not going anywhere.” And you would say, well, that’s it. He’s staying at Texas for sure, which I believe he is. However, don’t forget his mentor is Nick Sabin, who said, “I am not going to be the coach at Alabama.” And two days later took the job. Remember that. So, that’s part of it. Um, and then there’s a lot of these jobs like I I saw Oklahoma State, uh, here’s the latest on their hire, who they’re going to may hire, and I’m like, “Oh, these poor guys have been dealing with this for longer than anybody.” cuz Gundy was like 3 weeks in, right, when he got fired. Penn State, you know, they talk about Clark Lee and everything. I don’t I don’t know that he would leave for Penn State, but I would if I was him. Um I think it’s better job. Um it the the coaching carousel has been interesting. The funny thing about it is now we’re at a point where nobody’s firing their coaches because the guys that the co the schools that are out there with openings are big- time schools. Penn State, Florida, Auburn, um, and LSU I would go with and could be Old Miss, too. Um, so you got that and you don’t want to get into that cycle and you’ve got all these massive buyouts like with uh Norll and Stoops. You’re just going to stay with them. Stay with them another year. Wait for the next cycle. Maybe it won’t be as serious. But that’s going to be the interesting thing to follow because there weren’t a lot of coaches fired last year and I didn’t think there would be any this year because of the $20 million uh per school uh house settlement. But that said, I was I’ve talked about this before. I was dead wrong. And now we’ll just see where what it’s like next year. Is it going to be the same way next year? Wow. I don’t know. That’s that’s too much for I think the media boys to handle. All right, let’s get to number four on our um Royal Blue starting five and that is that the uh college football playoff reveal. The latest reveal came out Tuesday. Texas appears to be in trouble. I don’t know even if they beat&m in the last game of the year. I I don’t know if they’re going to get in. Now, this is where the committee is going to show that it doesn’t it’s got a set of it’s got a set of rules and they can just apply whatever one they want. You know, they I I haven’t liked a lot of the reveals and I look at them, I go, that’s that’s ridiculous. That’s like that. Um but we’ll see. But Texas appears like like they are in trouble. They they need some people to lose ahead of them even if they beat&m. Um which would be certainly a huge win. You know it now we mentioned two lane looks like as of now they are the lead dog in the group of five but we’ll see how that holds up. That changes every week. Um Alabama I I don’t know. They’re sitting there going, I don’t we we certainly got to beat Auburn, you know, but there’s also going to be the who gets into the SEC championship game. Do they hold it? They said they’re not going to hold it against you if you lose in a title game. But in a way, maybe they should like if you get a three loss team into the ACC tournament and they lose ATC championship and they lose, I mean, hold that against them. Anyway, we’ll see how it all works out, but it’s certainly been fascinating. And finally, number five on our Royal Blue starting five, wanted to mention uh Florida basketball. I know they play Marramac on um Friday night 7:00. It’s sold out. There’s two reasons. One, a lot of people in town u to what for the football game. And two, obviously, is because they’re giving out rings. And they’re giving rings. Meldon Law, we had Jeffrey Meldon on the other day uh to talk about it, but Meldon Law is giving away uh replica rings to everybody that that shows up, 10,000 of them. So, that’s pretty cool. I need to get one of those. Um and if you didn’t see the uh what they did for the guys that have gone that are in the NBA, um I saw the one with Walter Clayton. I saw the one with Will Richard was really cool. They were in Orlando and walk uh Todd Golden and Carlin Hartman to give him his ring and what a moment that was for him to feel that and they showed a little highlight reel and Steve Kerr. Steve Kerr is a good dude, man. I that’s one reason I like Golden State. I like that guy. Um but you know, they’re my team. Unfortunately, they lost I think that night. I think they lost again last night. But at anyway, it’s a really cool moment. Marramax noted good. They’re one and three. They played I think they played last night and I didn’t look the score up. Just assume that they lost because they’re not very good. But uh that’s just one you and then after that, man, it gets serious for Florida basketball. They got to go to San Diego for a tournament, play two games there. They’ve got Yukon, they’ve got Duke. Oh boy. And then it softens back up and then you go into the SEC. So, we’ll see how it goes, man. Hey, look. I I’ve got no problem with the way this team is playing so far. I know that that they’ve had too many turnovers and I’ve been critical of Condan’s turnovers been really bad. Um but and they haven’t shot well. We all know that. But I think all those things will come around. They got good coaches. They got a good head coach. Okay. All right. That is going to do it for our Royal Blue starting five. I do want to mention again, and I am going to mention this a lot because I really want to encourage people to go to patreon.com/duly noted. That’s where a lot of my stuff is going to be. I’m writing more than ever because I’m not doing radio anymore. So, I’m writing a lot of stuff. I’m doing the back nine there, the grading the gators there. I’m doing lists there. I did a list on the five reasons Lane Keifin should come to Gainesville instead of Baton Rouge. That’s up on there. Uh you can get a free trial. Uh, I only charge $5 a month for the paid members. Uh, if you don’t if you get a free trial, look at it. If you don’t like it, hey, get out. I I understand. I’m not for everybody. I’m an acquired taste. But anyway, Patreon p a t. Just remember pat a t r o n.com duly noted. Or if you just go to patreon.com and type in duly, you’ll find it. Okay. All right. That’s the last time I’m gonna pl plug that today. I’m just trying to get it up. I’m doing pretty good on it. I love it. I love seeing that people are still interested in what I’ve got to say. And I have a lot to say. All right, let’s take a break. When we come back, the great Billy Horsel is going to join us. He will uh we’ll talk about his future in golf and and talk about the lift tour and all that kind of stuff. It is another Duly noted podcast presented by Titan MRI and imaging coming to you from the Melden Lawgator Studios. We’ll be right back after this break. Coach, you know it always impressed me how you beat Florida State to win the 1996 National Championship. And I was really impressed with your 06,08 and 09 Gator teams and the way you coached Danny to the Heisman Trophy. A lot like what you did with Tim Tibo. You know, you won more SEC championships than you lost home games at the swamp. And you had plenty of super games in front of our Gator Nation. Yeah, there really is something special about the swamp. I guess that’s why we say about the swamp, only the Gators get out alive. To the swamp and the gators with the best beverage served at Spur’s Grid Iron Grill. 100% agave low Slenderos tequila aged in bourbon barrels for a smoother taste. I think you mean head beer coach 1966 logger. A crisp, light bodied logger for easy drinking. Nope. Loseros tequila. Smooth enough to drink neat, bold enough to elevate a cocktail. 1966 logger. Enjoyed on game days in the fall or whenever you need a winning cold brew. Loseros tequila. 1966 Logger. Loseros. 1966 Logger. Y’all stop bickering. Okay, you’re both wrong. Anyway, the best thing Spurer’s Grid Iron Grill offers are Jerry’s famous chocolate chip cookies. Hey, Gator fans, the holidays are here and you know what that means? Great food everywhere.

Okay, welcome back to another Duly Noted podcast presented by Titan MRI and imaging coming to you from the Melden Law Duly Dome Gator Studios. It is a great pleasure to bring on our guest today, the great Billy Horchel. We have not seen a whole lot of him lately and I it’s really bothering me because I I that’s what I do. I follow Billy on the uh on the tour and of course he’s had hip surgery and now he’s back playing again. And that’s the first thing I want to ask you, Billy. First of all, thanks for coming on and uh how is the hip and how where are you on I know you played in a couple of tournaments. Where are you in in your mind? Yeah, the hip feels really good. Um it’s I think about 7 months now since surgery and uh I think um I played the second week of September which is 4 months after surgery which is which was pretty fast. Uh I wanted to play the event over in Europe. I I had won the previous year I wanted to defend. So since that time to where I played last was Utah about 3 weeks ago a month ago. Um it’s the hips in a hell of a lot better position. It’s it’s a lot stronger. It’s a lot more explosive. Um, but uh it’s it’s it’s fully healthy now. Now it’s just, you know, getting back of getting reps uh all the reps I lost of of of the game of golf being out and not swinging and and just getting a little more consistent um from here until the end of the year uh till we start the new season in 26 down in Hawaii. Yeah. I didn’t you finished like tied for 11th in that tournament out there in Utah? I did. I played really good. I I had a really bad first day. Um I I had two double for the tournament. I had two double bogeies and a snowman. So u you take those out of the out of the equation, it’s it’s even a better tournament. But it was nice to see um the game sort of show some life. I had seen some stuff, you know, in the previous events and I had seen some stuff in practice, but um you know, I was waiting for it to to come together a little bit better. And it was really the first event, that Utah event, that uh I felt like the game was close. I felt close to 100%. I felt like I I had the ability to to compete and and to play well. Yeah, that’s next time I make an eight on a hole, I say I made a horse. Exactly. You know, and I know you do want to talk a little bit about this as well. Uh, but since Billy Napier was a football coach here and now it’s Billy Gonzalez, I thought maybe you’d be the next guy to come in here and take the job. Another Billy, you know, it was umh, yeah, it’s weird to to say that. Uh, I mean, I don’t know if it’s ever happened before in in college football or even NFL where the guy who replaced the head coach had the same first name. So, uh, you know, listen, Billy Gonzalez is is a great person and, um, a great coach and, uh, he was really great to me, um, when, uh, Dan Mullen was a coach. You know, I would come over practices and he was great to me. So, yeah, it’s, uh, it’s weird to see a Billy Billy, you know, head coach and replace them. So, uh, that’s an oddity. And, and I don’t think, uh, it was funny. were watching the game the other night and as any any fan, any uh you know um you know quarterback, couch coach, whatever that’s that term’s called, my kids, one of my kids looked at me, he’s like, “Why don’t you be the head coach?” I’m like, “I do not have anywhere close to enough uh knowledge of being a head coach of any uh football program, let alone a college uh program.” So, so yeah. Um, my name and and Billy, we just have to with the other two Billies just share that together. Yep. Billy the kid. You can put him in. Exactly. Well, but I mean, you couldn’t do worse than three and seven. I I I think you could find a way to win three games at this point. And that is very frustrating for all of us, you know, to be going through this. And and I know that you’re aware of this, but this will be the sixth losing season for Florida football in the last 13 years. And I had Urban on the podcast Monday and he was like I asked, “Could you ever foresee this and of course what he left behind was a little bit better than that.” Yeah. You know, I I uh Urban and I played golf about a month ago and you know um you know, actually we played golf today. Billy got fired that it was announced. Uh and and so um you know, we we talked about the program a lot and he still cares tremendously about the the Florida Gator and um usually whenever I see him or we text it’s it’s pretty much the first thing we talk about within the first 30 seconds. So uh yeah, I mean I could never imagine, you know, still, you know, having the losing records that we’ve had. Um you know, you look at the talent on this team. I think Billy Naper did a really good job putting together talent. And at the end of the day though, you got to develop that talent. you got to make them winners and and Billy didn’t do that um very well. Um there’s no you can’t beat around the bush on that. It’s just a straight fact. So yeah, it’s frustrating to see that we’re three and seven. I mean, I think uh you look at the the Georgia game, you look at that Old Miss game, you know, those are games we we you know, we could have easily won and you you know, if you’re looking at it from anybody’s perspective, obviously from the Gator or as Florida Gator perspective really, I think, uh, you know, it’s tough to say because you don’t want to always, you know, point out one person, but DJ Lagway missing some throws in that Georgia game, I mean, there’s probably five, six throws that he missed that are are clear throws at a quarterback of his caliber or anybody’s caliber making on any what of a regular consistent basis and then you know just some decisions and throws he missed in that old miss game as well. So, it’s frustrating to see as a fan that, you know, if if our quarterback play could have been at a higher level, more consistent level, you know, maybe we’re not three and seven. Um, you know, we’re in a better position than than where we’ve been. But listen, we have been good the last, you know, like I said, six losing seasons and 13 um seasons. I mean, that’s just unex unacceptable for Florida football. Even even the bad days with Ron Zuk and and and and those days, it was still um we still weren’t even still eight games. Yeah. Correct. Correct. And listen, college football’s changed in and in in in those 20 years plus, but uh you know, we’re still the University of Florida. We still produce um tremendous talent and recruit tremendous talent. And uh you know, we need to find someone that is uh the ability to to take the players to the the level um that we all expect of of a Steve Spur, Urban Meyer. um get these players to to buy in and win and play hard for for 60 minutes. Well, I mean, you know what it’s like being on the tour and and you had to learn how to win. And I and that’s what I don’t think is is in the DNA of these guys that they just don’t know how to win games. They need somebody to come in and teach them how to win games. And and that’s what you had to go through on the tour. I mean, there were times that I would send you texts going, “Everything’s going to be okay, buddy. Just breathe. go get this done, you know. Uh but now you now you obviously know how to win and you’ve won eight times on tour, so and done really well. Yeah, you’re exactly right. Listen, I think uh you know, when you go to one level to the next level, you have to figure out how to to win at golf terms, obviously winning at a lower level or or being successful at a lower level doesn’t guarantee you success at the next level. And so, you know, it takes your time and you got to learn, you got to understand, you know, what were the mistakes we made? What were we feeling? why do we do this? So, next time you’re in that position, you’ve learned those um you don’t make those same thing same mistakes over and over and and obviously in college football, you know, you’re you’re you got guys coming every year, every four or five years, you’re replacing um you know, you’re turning over the the players, but really when you look at that team and with all the talent we have and everything, you can’t point to, you know, a handful of players that are I’m not c they’re not they are winners, but that know how to win games have done it and and and guys can can teach these younger players coming in. We just don’t have those guys and it’s unfortunate and it’s not, you know, obviously everyone plays a part into to to losing and winning. Um, and it’s not solely on the players fault, but we just don’t have the players there to help teach younger players, you know, what needs to be done and how to get through, you know, the gauntlet to to win those close type games. And and that’s just the frustrating thing because I mean we’ve had so many of them over the last couple years that um you know whether it be play calling or or just you know missed assignments or you know whatever it may be you know it’s just frustrating to see some of the same mistakes made over and over. You have intel on people. You’re you’re pretty smart. You you got connections. What what’s your thought on Lane Keifin whether he he’ll end up here or LSU or stay in in Oxford? You know, I’ve stayed out of the out of that whole discussion a lot. I I think uh 17 years on the PJ tour and and really uh obviously I love the PJ tour and um being part of our player advisory committee and everything and really being the nuts and bolts of things for a long time. Um you know, I’ve just realized over the last couple years I still care, but I I don’t need to be, you know, in the in the in the thick of things anymore. Uh, and so it’s sort of the same thing with this whole coaching search with Lane Kein. Obviously, there’s people I know and I do have conversations with, but it’s u I’m not regularly, you know, texting with people trying to figure out what’s going on. But as I’ve told people, just when you look at um Lane Tiff and why would he choose the University of Florida, you know, I just say, listen, he’s back with his ex-wife. His ex-wife’s a University of Florida uh alum. His her dad played uh football at Florida. He’s a he’s a Gator great. Um you know he talks about you know their first state was in Gainesville and then I didn’t realize there this ESPN article I guess may have came out last year before the Old Miss game and he talked about how Gainesville was such a special place to him you know all this other things and then you know you got the Steve Spur connection and and he he coaches football for you know he obviously his dad was a coach but Steve Spur was his you know his idol. He wanted to be like Steve Spur that’s why he was a visor. So listen, if if there was a case to be made of why he would choose Florida, there’s a lot of reasons why Florida makes sense to him. And you know, I think he would be an awesome coach at University of Florida. I think um you know, as someone we joked about the other day, you know, we’re not it doesn’t guarantee he comes to University of Florida, we’re going to win and win national titles, but there is one thing for sure. It’s going to be one hell of an entertaining um time with him here. Um, it’s going to go back to a little bit of Steve Sper days with some quotes and everything and some things he does, but um, yeah, I would love to see Lane Keifin. I think he would do unbelievably well at the University of Florida. Um, I think, uh, there’s a lot of good things that Billy Napier did, um, you know, in his tenure at Florida that Lane comes in and can can sort of just, you know, you know, polish what, uh, you know, Billy’s done already and and make us, uh, a winner, a regular winner and back to where all Gator fans would love to see us, uh, continuing in the playoffs and for national titles and SE championship games. So, I hope Lane comes because I’m trying to figure out who, you know, I have an idea who we could go for or who I would like to go for if Lane doesn’t come. I think there’s a there’s a case to be made that uh Lincoln Riley and his team at USC isn’t uh isn’t successful and with the changing landscapes of college football. USC isn’t USC anymore. Even though they’re in the Big 10, um they’re just the the way the TV market is and everything, you just don’t hear about USC much anymore. Right. So, I think, you know, link uh Lane um Lincoln Riley would be, you know, maybe the second guy if I was, you know, in charge or had a say to be looking at a bringing because he’s got a proven track record of what he did Oklahoma and obviously I know he hasn’t had this success at USC, but I don’t think USC is what USC was 20, 30 years ago. Yeah. It’s like the eighth biggest story out there, right, in LA. I mean, it it is. Um, by the way, I was going to tell you this story cuz I went to Outback one day with my wife and I went there to eat and uh the woman who was waiting on us had a name tag and it said Ila. And I go, “Oh, you must be a child of the 60s.” And she goes, “Uh, well, my dad was John Reeves.” And I go, “Oh, Leila.” Oh. So, we got to know her, Leila, a little bit there. That was pretty cool. But um she’s obviously graduated to bigger and better things than working in Outback. But um you talked about though how college football is changing. We all know college football has changed. Certainly the tour has changed drastically too and all the stuff going on with LIIB. Now they’re going to 72 holes which if they can get rid of the u the teen thing and and like when I’m and I’ll turn it over there for a minute and I’m going I have no idea what’s going on and the So, I think that they they’re they’re flawed in that way, but I’m still sticking with the PJ tour. I love watching you guys play. But being part of this, what is what has it been like for you? Oh, man. It’s, you know, could never imagine, uh, you know, even 10 years ago, uh, you know, having a competitor come into the market marketplace. And I always said I think there could be the opportunity where a mark a play competitor would come into the marketplace and try to um make a better version of the PJ tour. I always thought that was a possibility or I always suggested that as a possibility PJ tour to continue to make changes, continue to improve. And not that they weren’t. I just felt like they needed to do things in in a a little bit more of a uh you know I wouldn’t say a drastic way just but just be more in the forefront uh more on the on the gas pedal of of of doing things where it really um you know prohibits a competitor coming in and trying to to steal some of your marketplace. But listen, I as I said from the very beginning, like I don’t have any issue with Liv. Like I the issue I had with Liv and I’ve said it for day one like you know for them to come in and say this is going to be the future of the game of golf team aspect 54 hole shotgun start this is the future of the game of golf. I you know I just called BS on it and and um you know I I called some of the players out for wanting to say they wanted to play less which wasn’t uh you know some of them isn’t true and I know who they are and and I knew they would want to play more than just 14 15 times a year. So, but I don’t fault them for taking money or anything, but I just think that um I think Lib could have I tell you what, honestly, I do believe Liv, you know, Piff, who is the um the financing behind Liv, the Saudi investment fund, um I do believe that they were given better guidance and um you know, someone who so people who saw the marketplace a little bit better, I do believe they could have been a true a true threat to the PJ tour. they would have done things differently. Um they wouldn’t create a team aspect that they would have gone, you know, played it out over five, six year window and gone and try and buy the Asian tour, build the Asian tour up and and challenge the European tour and then, you know, you kill the European tour with the success of the Asian tour and then you have a a a tour that is truly global that is truly challenging the PJ tour because you got Asia and Europe now. And then, you know, obviously it’s tough to get Americans to leave America. Trust me. I mean, there’s a lot of guys on PJ2 that don’t care to play outside America. Um, but there the younger generation of players coming through could have seen um Europe and Asia as a possible um place to play with the financing of of the money playing they’re playing for. So, um I don’t know how this is all going to play out the end of the day. Um at the you know, you know, when you do look at it though, Saudi involved in everything in this world from companies to sports to you name it. I mean, they’re in their hand is involved in everything. So, I don’t believe they’re going to just uh, you know, close up shop and and leave the PJ or leave the golf world. I think they’re always going to be in involved in golf world. And I think, you know, from the PJ tour side, we have to decide, you know, do we figure out a way to, you know, sort of maybe reconcile or or bring them in and and have them, you know, be a partner or do we still consider them to be a um competitor and and we both do our own thing. So, you know, that’s what I think uh, you know, from the PJ tour side we’re trying to figure out now. And you know, I think at the end of the day, you know, listen, as as a player and as wanting the PJ tour to be the best, you know, for the next 30, 40, 50 years, the way it’s been for 60 years, um I do believe, you know, for us to continue to to um uh be the leader in the professional game in in the world. You know, I do think maybe we should bring Saudi in as a as a small partner in some way and form just because, you know, it’s tough to turn down, you know, a $3 billion, you know, investment into the PJ tour if that’s what the the financing or the terms are still, you know, mentioned and everything. So, we’ll see how it plays out. But I don’t believe the PJ tour. I think the PJ tour will still win no matter what. I’ve always backed the PJ tour so for the sole fact that uh kids grow up wanting to be on the PJ tour. kids grow up wanted to to to challenge the best players in the world and that’s where they are. Um, you know, at least my generation, we wanted to beat Tiger. We wanted to play against Tiger and that’s what we want to do. Now, kids are coming up and they’re seeing Roy Mack or Scotty Sheffller. They want to play against those guys and and see where they fall in line, what their skills are like, and can they win and put their name on trophies next to those guys. So that will always be the case and I think the PJ tour as I’ve always said will always win out and will always be um you know the best of the best. It’s just a matter of you know do we have to have you know compete against another entity um you know for the next 20 plus years. Billy Horell joining us on the Big Mills Chief Stake Zoom line. I wanted to ask you about the job JC and and Dudley have done with this golf team. And of course I watched them in East Lake and that was that was probably cool to watch that because you obviously did pretty well there too uh at East Lake. But um yeah, I mean it it is so much fun to and now guys you’re you’re not alone on the tour. You’re not the only Gator out there. there. I mean, for a long time, we’ve just that’s all you’ve we’ve had to root for is Billy Horishel, which we love doing, but we’d like to get more people out there, and now we’re getting more and more out there. And that must be fun to have other Gators on the tour. Yeah, it’s nice. Let me tell you what, it’s it’s uh it’s been it’s not great when um you know, there’s only a couple Gators out there and then you look at the Georgia Bulldogs, they’ve got 11 or 12 guys out there and and and listen, I get along with all the guys from Georgia. But you know, you know, when you when you people start talking about, well, Georgia’s got 12 guys out there this year on the PJ tour and you got this guy, that guy, like, you know, as a Gator, you want to you always want to be the best and and and have the most and or, you know, win the most and everything. So, yeah, it’s nice to see guys like Ricky Castillo out there. Um, you know, Freddy Beyond just got a his European tour card. Quintau just got his European tour card. Um, you know, obviously Camille is still out there. you know, Tyson Alexander was out there on tour for a couple years. Hopefully he gets Yeah. You know, and so yeah, Toasty out there. So, yeah, it’s nice to see more Gators, um, you know, having, you know, some success in the professional ranks that hopefully will ultimately project them and get them to the PJ tour, um, is where, you know, talk to that’s where they want to be. So, so yeah, it’s nice the the job JC and Duds have done. um you know they’ve you know winning a national title a couple years ago and then obviously the success that they’ve been able to carry on uh from that um they’ve got a lot of talent that team and and they’ve been doing some good stuff down there. So, it’s it’s great to see, listen, the the Gator Golf program being, you know, a comp a a truly a a big-time player year in year out in sense of winning SEC titles and and winning national titles. And, you know, it just falls right in line with all other sports that we have that are having ultimately tremendous success throughout all Gatorade athletics. And that’s what I tell everyone when they say, “Well, your football team, you know, you guys,” when they talk about football team, you know, or the basketball team not doing well and and they think we’re just a two sport school. I’m like, “Guys, you just just don’t know about University of Florida. Like, look at all our other sports. I understand our two biggest ones are football and basketball, but the su success that we’ve had from top to bottom, all our sports, um there’s not many of any other schools in in the country that can can say that. I’ve been trying to figure out your hat. Is that an H for Horschel? Yeah, it is. It’s our logo for our Horchel family foundation. So, yes. Wow, that’s cool. Oh, I need to get one of those hats. We’ll send you one, Pat. We’ll send you one, buddy. Okay. Hey, it’s time for us to play Yes No Way or Maybe with Billy Horchel is brought to you by Big Mills Cheese Steak Street dining done the right way. If you go in there and say, “Hey, I heard Billy Horchel on another Duly Noted podcast, you get free French fries with you order.” So yes, no way or maybe. Billy, number one, watching the Gator play was more painful this year than watching the Ryder Cup. Yes. Yes. At least we came back in the Ryder. Yeah, we did. But I figured for you it was hard because you I mean you were in position to maybe make that team before you had to have the hip surgery. Yeah, I was probably in the best position I’ve ever been in my career to finally make a Ryder Cup team. And uh you know it wasn’t I I was I was actually there Saturday morning uh to watch the the morning session of Ryder Cup. Um I you know when when the hip happened I just realized you know golf wasn’t going to wasn’t going to happen this year and I just moved on from it. So you know it it sucks because you you want to be out there you want to compete. Um I want to be on a Ryder Cup team but uh listen I mean I I’m I’m proud to be an American. probably be a gator, but man, it’s it sucks more to watch the gators than it was with Rikum. So, yeah, exactly. I I get I I feel the same way. U number two on Yes, maybe with Billy Horell, you have been to the Grant Seafood Festival in your lifetime. Yes. Yes. I grew up there, I guess, right? I grew up in Grant. Yeah. I mean, I grew up in Grant. It was it was a yearly thing, annual thing. um you know it was always the last weekend of February and uh you know we would go and um I’ve actually been uh a couple times now since um I’ve graduated from college and everything. Uh I’ve missed a couple cuts uh around that time down in West Palm and so uh we would come back and stay either at my parents house or or near my uncle’s house and um we wind up going to the Grant Seafood Festival. Sweet. Is it pretty good in there? Yeah, it’s great. I mean there’s a whole bunch of food. There’s a lot of music um bands playing and everything. So yeah, I mean it’s it’s it’s just an old tradition that’s been going on I think for 40 50 60 years now. Um and it’s just I mean it’s nothing special and Glam, but it’s just a a fun way to people sort of hang out and and and catch up and and have some good seafood. Great stuff. Uh finally number three on Yes or maybe it was Billy Horsel. One or more of your three children is obsessed with golf. Yes. Which one? My my son. My son is. Yeah. Axel. He is a uh he’s a sports um I mean he he is a a sports lover. I mean, you know, if you want to know anything about stats or what a team’s doing or players, it doesn’t have to just do a golf. It talks about any sport. I mean, he’ll he’ll tell you. And um he’s old. What’s he like? He’s six. He’ll be seven in February. But I mean, he’s on his iPad checking out ESPN, checking out scores, looking at stats. I mean, I started all the girl all the kids that had a fantasy football team or did fantasy football this year for the first time. And every day he’s checking the fantasy stuff and checking stats and making teams and he’s actually looking after his two sisters, older sister’s teams and our wife’s team. So, no, he is a he’s a big sports guy, but he’s a big golfer and he loves golf. And, you know, when people ask him what he wants to do when he gets older, he he says he wants to play golf. So, uh I I um you know, when it comes to golf, I’ve sort of let him tell me when he wants to go hit balls and and this and that. I try not to push him or anything, but he does a whole bunch of other sports. He plays flag football, basketball, baseball. He’s um which I absolutely love. Baseball is my second sport I love. So, um it’s cool to see, you know, just not only him, but my other two, um kids, my two girls in the sports and just see their uh enjoyment that they get out of out of their sports. Well, athletic parents, you know, that’s that’s what happens, you know. You Yeah, they get all from their mom. I mean, that’s they get all from their mom. Well, it’ll be it’ll be fun. And uh so, when are you when are you back out on tour? What’s your next event? So, I’m going to play two events in December. I’m going to play the Tiger Tigers event down in Bahamas, the Hero World Challenge. And then I’m playing the week after down in Naples, the Grand Thornton Invitational. Um it’s a mixed team event. So I’m playing with Andrea Lee from the LPJ tour, who’s a good friend. And then we’re have about a month off month off until we start the season back up out in um out in Honolulu at the Sony Open. And and from there it’s uh it’s full steam ahead. I mean, with the whole new signature events, which are the higher level events on the PJ tour, um, and smaller fields because of my injury, um, I’m not guaranteed those events just yet. So, I have to play well at the beginning of year. So, right now, my schedule, um, you know, there’s there’s schedule A, schedule B, and schedule C. And there’s one schedule where if I play really well, there’s not many weeks I’m taking off for the first four months. So, which um uh you know, I’ll be looking to find some, you know, come up for at some point in time if that happens. But, uh yeah, excited to get back out there. Excited to get back um you know, competing and winning events and and hopefully, you know, 25 was I was so excited about 25 after coming off 24 and having chance to win a couple majors and then hopefully I thought 25 was going to be the year I win a major. make the RDER Cup team and and so uh the hip injury sort of derailed that but it didn’t uh kill the dream or kill the opportunity and um we’re going to make sure that uh you know I I check those boxes off before before the clubs go in the closet for good down the road. No, I I’m calling it. I’m calling it. You’re getting you’re going to win a major in the next 24 months. I like that. I I I truly agree with you, Pat. I agree with that. Well, good luck to you and and we appreciate you coming on the podcast. We always love talking to you, Billy. You know that. And I do I do want one of those hats if you want. We’ll do. We’ll send you I’ll send you a check for it. I I No, no, you don’t need to. Cool. Yeah, we’ll send you one. Okay. Thanks a lot.

It is a great pleasure to bring in Chris Masters who’s the executive director of the Manave Health Organization which they’re going to be out there at the uh Tennessee game on Saturday. What Let’s bring Chris on. Chris, what time do you guys start doing the prostate uh testing? Yeah, so it’s a simple blood test. We’ll start doing those around 4:30 uh when FanFest opens up and we’ll run just about up till game time. So, as all the uh fans start to flood towards uh the stadium in the swamp, they’ll uh they’ll have the chance to get tested. And and we’ve talked about this before, Chris. I mean, I I’ve been through it. I went I was tested uh but to I didn’t even know I was being tested to be honest with you. And the doctor called me and said, “You’ve got a 17 PSA. we need to get you in some work going here. Um, and had my prostate removed, which is is life-changing experience. However, it saved my life, you know, and absolutely that’s the thing. I mean, so many people I think it’s what what’s it one in eight people die of prostate cancer. So, it’s one in eight men will be diagnosed. Women aren’t dying of prostate cancer. Yeah. and and and frankly it’s one of the most treatable, but I think you touched on something really important is there’s typically no symptoms. So if you’re not doing the regular testing, the likelihood of you knowing you have prostate cancer and seeing that PSA elevate is unlikely that you would even know it. You may feel fine but have this rising PSA. Yeah, that’s the thing. You I had no nothing. I I was having some other issues and that’s why I got my physical and so but I think a lot of people, you know, the famous scene in in Fletch, you know, Moon River, you know, um they they worry about that and they they kind of get it. To be honest with you, it’s homophobia. We all know that. And so people don’t like pink things being stuck in their butt. This isn’t that. This is taking your blood. It’s not. It’s very simple and it it allows you to find out and then you can go and figure out you it may come back and it says you’re fine, you know, and then you don’t have to worry about it, but you have to get it again at some point. Yeah, I think it’s important to note technology and advancement in technology medically has grown quite a bit and I think we get stuck sometimes as grandfathers passed down to fathers who passed down to sons. You know, times have changed. So, it starts with the simple blood test. And you know what? If you should know your PSA, we know the horsepower in our cars. We know how many rushing yards the running back did, good or bad. We know that. And it’s like, you should know your own PSA score. At least know your baseline. So then you can track it if it’s going up or if it’s staying where it’s at. And everybody’s different. Yeah. I But I know you that some of it is genetic. My sure my grandfather died of prostate cancer. My dad had it and uh luckily lived in ’93 because he got it removed. Both of my brothers have had it. I’ve had it. Um that’s that’s as many men as I can think of. But um and that and it’s such like you said, it is the most treatable really of all the cancers. Totally. in that you all you have to do is get tested, find out where it is, and it could be radiation, could end up being um you know uh seeds put in there. And sure, now now they’ve got a robotic surgery they can do and it probably wouldn’t be as intrusive as mine was 22 years ago, whatever it was. Yeah, I think Pat that’s the biggest thing. As much as the test is important, it’s the education. Um cuz not all options are the same and not all options are going to be the ones that you consider. It really is independently uh all about you as an individual and where you’re at. And again, if you catch it early, the the survival rate uh over 5 years is like 99%. So it’s pretty it’s pretty like you just got to know though. If you don’t know, you’re not going to be able to treat it. So that’s the encouragement part. Get tested. Well, and that’s the thing. It’s It feels like about once a week I hear about somebody dying after a battle with prostate cancer and I’m like they probably didn’t get tested until it was too late. Sure. And they couldn’t do anything about it. But uh again, let everybody know where exactly you’re going to be and and where you’ll be doing that testing. And I know that you did really well last year with getting a lot of people tested. We did. We’re blessed with a great partner in UF Health and they said it was one of their most successful screening events that they had done and last year they relaunched their mobile unit which will be back this year. So just to be part of that with our other partner the prostate cancer foundation which has raised more money than anybody else for cancer prostate cancer research. Um it’s a great team effort and we’re going to be right outside 4:30 that Stephen Okonnell Center. Um and we’re going to be there up until game time. free swag. We’re gonna have uh Coach Spurer stop by again. Uh great partner of ours as well. And this whole thing, I’ve got to just tip my hat to a friend of mine, Chris Dorian. I know, a friend of yours. Uh Chris and I have been friends for a long time. And um when he invited us to be part of the Spurer Awards, it really was opening the door to the Gainesville community and UF Health and uh you University of Florida community. And I’ll tell you, it has been open arms since then. And those partnerships have made this a successful second event coming up. It’ll be a successful event. Yeah. Second one. And I’m sure there’ll be a lot more. And and it’s absolutely it’s great to see you Chris again. And uh and good luck with this and I hope everything goes well. I don’t have to get tested anymore. Although I will tell you this, I do get tested ju still just to make sure you know that it’s not back. Um absolutely. I think that’s the other that’s the last thing, right? is, but it’s men encouraging men. You’ve had it the prostate removed. However, there’s a lot of men walking around right now with an elevated result and have no idea. So, this type of platform that you’re providing us to talk about it, to get awareness out, it’s absolutely the best. So, can’t thank you enough. And again, just thankful for our partnership with UF Health and and of course, uh, you know, Prostate Cancer Foundation. Absolutely. Well, thanks so much for joining us, Chris. We appreciate it. And I’m encouraging every man out there to go up to that tent, get give a little blood. It’s not it’s not painful. I can tell. Absolutely. Maybe you’re afraid of needles, you know, but that’s you can calm down about it. And I tell them it takes them longer to fill out the paperwork than it will to get the test done. You’ll get some cool swer swag, get to meet coach again if you haven’t met him. Um, you know, and obviously see the mascots and and all that stuff. It’s it’s going to be quite the experience. It’ll be great. It’ll be great. Thanks again for joining us. Okay. Well, we keep it going with Dr. Philip Coup who is of course uh can tell you about prostate cancer and how it affects so many people. And this is a big deal to me. It’s a big deal to everybody. I mean, as a survivor of this, as a uh somebody who had a dad who’s a survivor, brother, two brothers who were survivors, it means a lot to us. And Dr. Coup, I know that it um this event is going to mean a lot to you as well to get as many people tested cuz it’s all about the testing, isn’t it? The awareness. You know, you’re absolutely right. It’s about awareness and getting it. It’s really a team sport. Getting everyone involved aware that the earlier we detect prostate cancer, the better the chance of finding a cure, of getting cured. And if you detect it early enough, almost 100% of those men will be able to get cured, which is the goal. So, it’s a powerful message. Yeah. And I mean, that’s the thing. I think a lot of people um just they don’t want to hear hear about it and they just and they have no symptoms. They don’t feel bad. So, you know, we were talking to Chris about that. I mean, and that’s the thing. I didn’t have any either. You know, that’s the beauty of screening. The idea of these screening tests are testing people when you’re not symptomatic. And again, that’s when you detect it early. I think as men often times we get busy. We think we’re invincible. We’re sort of in the prime of our careers or whatever it might be. And taking care of our own health goes on the back seat. We’re taking care of others. We’re doing all these other things. But we’re trying to shift that narrative. Just place a little bit more importance on your own health. Uh make sure you get tested. And while you’re at it, you’re going to get tested for a lot of other things. Your cardiovascular health. um you know if you need colonoscopy screening all of that cuz again I think a healthy man is going to benefit so many other uh parts of society as well. This is going to be a weird question. My last question for you, doc, and that is do you think how do you think evolution evolved to get to where we have a prostate that is such a big issue? And is it just use? I mean, is it, you know, I I I’ve never been able to put my hand around that. You know, you have these different organs in your body and and the body itself is so complicated and the prostate gland does uh serve a purpose. it it helps in terms of semen production and reproductive health. So there is a purpose but you’re right uh after a certain point it it may not serve as much importance in in the body. Um but things can go wrong and it kind of makes me think of like the appendix or other parts of the body that we don’t really think about until things go bad. But unfortunately things go bad. Um so we’re here but there’s a solution and we need to make sure we deliver on that solution. Well we appreciate all your hard work buddy. It’s my pleasure. This is going to be my first SEC football game, so I’m very very excited. And uh go Gators. Well, yeah. Uh we’ve been trying to say that for all the whole year, but have they haven’t gone very far so far, but uh hey, it’ll be a it’ll be a great atmosphere. I know you’ll have a great time. Absolutely. At you know, at the minimum, we’re going to reach a lot of men. We’re going to raise awareness and uh it’s going to help it’s it’s going to help the community. So, we’re really excited. Dr. Philip Coup, we appreciate you, buddy. My pleasure. Thanks for having me. All right. Really want to thank uh Chris and Dr. Coup for coming on. Uh it it’s an important cause for me and it’s should be an important cause for you. Look guys, it it is very simple. Just go get your blood taken. They’ll tell you whether you have it a reason to go to your doctor or not and they may they’ll probably say you’re fine. Don’t worry about it. It’s better to know. But if you if you got prostate cancer, you need to get it treated in in whatever way the doctor tells you to do it. Not for me, for you, for your family. All right, let’s get to our Hesser and Kipkkey three things. We always love our Hesser and Kipky three things for all your workers compensation and family law needs. 352-339-9920 is the number to call or www.hklawfl. hklawfl.com. Give Ken and Jennifer a call over there. Uh let’s get to our three things. Number one, and this is an allN NFL three things because there’s a lot of stuff going on the NFL. Um there you talk about injuries. I mean the NFL and again we see this every year though and then every year somebody does and this is goes back to my paranoia about Florida players getting hurt. Every somebody does a story about why are more players why are more running backs? Why are more quarterbacks getting hurt? But it’s pretty much the same every year. Um, so number one on our Hesser and Kipky three things is Joe Burrow maybe coming back. You would say, well, why? You’re three and seven. Aren’t they three and seven? No, they’re one and Oh, they’re one and seven since he uh got hurt. Hurt his toe, I think, against the Jaguars, wasn’t it? Uh, so he’s been out for eight weeks. one and seven, but he’s back practicing full practice. Mainly because Flaco goes hurt, so he can’t practice, but we’ll see whether he comes back to play. And um the NFL’s a lot better with Joe Burrow. It’s more fun to watch. It’s a reason to watch the Bengals. Uh and he’s the only one that gives it to you. Look, I didn’t like Joe Burrow when he was at LSU because he was at LSU, but I like him in in the pros. I He’s a very good player. Number two, going back the other way on our Hesser and Kipki three things and that is Michael Pennik DFY done for the year. He uh has an ACL injury, another injury that’s this is his third ACL injury. Now two of them were in college. He hurt his shoulder in college, broke his collar bone. He’s he’s been injuryprone. Uh but he’s still a very talented guy and and this is a a situation when you look at the Falcons where you you sign Kirk Cousins’s enormous contract then you draft in the first round a quarterback and everybody’s like what are you doing? Well, Pennix, it turns out, is really good and Cousins is awful and doesn’t, you know, just he I think people at Minnesota could have told him that, but anyway, they’re in certainly in a in a tough situation. And Lamar Jackson back on the injury list with an ankle this time. You talk about injury prone now. Guys who run the ball are injuryprone. Anthony Richardson injuryprone. uh you know, smart players like Patrick Mahomes know when to slide, know when to get out of bounds, don’t you know, don’t take a right when they should take a left. Um but there’s a lot of guys that get get hurt that way. And and look, it’s a violent sport played by the greatest people at that sport. There’s nobody even close, nobody in college that can play that sport right away when they come out. This is they are they go fast. They are balls of muscle going 100 miles an hour. Did you see the story about Darnell Washington who was just trucking people in the game, the tight end that was at Georgia and now he’s at Pittsburgh and and he was on a podcast and and they asked him how much he weighed. 311 he finally confessed to 311 is running at you at at enormous speeds with the ball. you’re going to get guys hurt. It’s just the way it is. Um, so let’s get to number three, and that is a guy who’s not hurt because a guy is hurt. He’s starting, and that is Shidor Sanders getting his start. And this is what a lot of people have been waiting for. Um, you know, we’ll see how he does. I’m not rooting against him. I’m I’m you know, I’m just want I’m curious to see how it is. I tell you, I will say this. I have gotten in my old age where I root against people less a lot less than I used to. I’m just now I’m kind of just enveloping into a game. I’m watching a game. I was watching that South Carolina A&M game and I was rooting for South Carolina. I won an upset, right? I don’t care about who gets in. Um and then they get way ahead and I got now I’m going to root for Texas A&M. So that’s now I’m always going to root against FSU, you know that and Kentucky basketball. But anyway, all right. So that is we’ll see we’ll see what happens with Shidor. Let’s uh that’s our Hesser and Kipki three things. Uh let’s move along to our BMI TelMed smart move of the week. And that is brought to you by our good friends at BMI Telmed. Achieve and maintain with BMI Telmed’s weight loss specialists. 7273831677. It worked for me, it’ll work for you. BMI Telmed. Uh, our smart move of the week is that the 1984 team is having another reunion. And now, for those of you who don’t know the whole story, that 84 team was maybe one of one of Florida’s best teams, if not the you can argue it was the best team. It was a different time. And of course, they won the SEC, the first team to win the SEC. It was stripped away from them later. The trophy is still there somewhere. They know it’s there. They just don’t know. It’s I I’m convinced that it’s like the U Indiana Jones. It’s it’s protected by arrows and boulders and stuff and nobody can get to it. Uh but anyway, they they finally recognized them last year and that was really cool. Well, they had so much fun. They’re having a reunion and they’re back doing it again and they’re having a golf tournament out at Ironwood. I’m going to play in that and just it’ll be great to see the guys again. last year. Uh, seeing Galen was just so cool. Uh, my brother got his picture taken with him, in fact. So, um, yeah. No, it it’s going to be good. And, uh, I got good news for those guys. I I talked to a I talked to somebody, uh, who can get them some autograph sessions. It’s all about the cash. All right. All right. So, that is our BMI Telmed smart move of the week. Um, let’s get to our Adam’s Rib Co. Gator of the week. Brought to you by our good friends at Adam’s Rib Company. The only place to go for barbecue. You can have ribs, you can have chicken, you can have beef, you can have whatever you want. And on Fridays, you can have those Nanas nuggets. They’re tremendous. Melt in your mouth. Adams Ripco, the Gator of the week. It is Trey Smack. Now, the GRO award is meaningful to me for a lot of reasons. One is I think whenever anybody gets up to kick, all I can see is a missing. And no matter who it is, I can see a path to missing. I would never have been a good kicker and I wasn’t. Oh, wait. I never kicked. I tried to kick one time and I accidentally kicked the guy in the face. That’s how good I was. Um, but Trey Smack, and we talked about this uh with Jud the other day, that Trey Smack has um since that first game hasn’t missed a kick. And there have been a lot of big kicks. All the kicks he’s made have meant something for the most part. And you’re and so it’s not like he’s going out there and just kicking him like like that’s the one reason it’s hard to make Eddie Pinero uh the greatest skater kicker ever. He might have been close. you can make him in an argument, but he never kicked a big kick. There was no never a kick that came down to the wire. Um, anyway, there were a lot of great kicks. So, for Trey Smack to get on the semi finalist list for the Groza is is an accomplishment and congratulations to him for that. Um, after I played golf with him, I know that he missed those two kicks and I went, “Oh, I rubbed off.” The duly bad luck rubbed off on him. But since then, he hasn’t missed. So, well done. All right, let’s get to our Leonardo at Milhopper quick pick. Um I did Carlos send you the hats. I sent you two actually. And uh for um our good friend um Andy, I I still don’t have your address. I got to find your address or else just send it to me. You win $50 at Leonardo’s cuz Carlos decided he wanted to forward it to somebody who lived in town or near town and so we are giving $50 to him. We’re starting all over again. We started all over last week. Most of you picked Kentucky in that basketball game. You did not do well. I can just tell you that. We’re giving you two games this week. Got to get them both right. How about that? We’re going to make it hard on you this week. Um, got to get both of them right. Florida, Tennessee, you know, the games at the swamp. It’s minus4. Now, I wrote four and a half, but it’s actually minus 4. Uh, it was four and a half and it dropped. And then FSU at NC State, FSU is a minus5. So FSU is a five-point favorite. Tennessee is a four and a four four-point favorite. Just pick the two winners. Just send Florida, South Carolina or South Carolina. Florida and NC State or FSU and and Tennessee. Whatever you want to do, send it to Patrick Douly54gmail.com. Appreciate it. All right, it is time for us to get to this, that, and the other. We have a new sponsor on this, that, and the other as well. Um, so we’ll get to to the to that new sponsor. But first, let’s talk about Notary Joe. Notary Joe will be a mobile is a mobile SP uh notary. That’s good way to put it. He’s a mobile notary who will come to your house and and do the notary work for you. 8639904884 if you want to get a hold of. Joseph Newton does a great job and wish me a happy birthday too and I appreciated that very much. It’s brought to you by Dar Shakow Insurance. Dar Shakow Insurance for all your home auto commercial life needs and commercial life needs. Dar Shakow Insurance. We appreciate them. And our new sponsor is the Atlanta Hustle. The Atlanta Hustle is an ultimate frisbee team and they are uh we we are involved with them now and we that is the official Frisbee team of another Dilly noted podcast. Okay. The this is that Trey Burton was a big-time recruit for Urban Meyer. I remember when he signed it was they said he was a they didn’t know what he was to be honest with you. Um, and when he got here, he was kind of a jerk with the media to be honest with you and and was pretty much through his entire time. So, I never warmed up to him and and a lot of people did and a lot of people would tell you that. Um but um the that is that we did warm up to him because we saw how valuable he was to the Florida football team and he and if you look at his stats, they’re not overwhelming, but he did everything. He was a jack of all trades. He did score six touchdowns in a game, which is still unbelievable that anybody anybody scores six touchdowns, but he did it in a variety of ways. And of course, uh, I’ll never forget that game at Vanderbilt and they wanted to get Jordan Reed some reps at quarterback to see if he could play quarterback at Florida, but he had to have Trey Burton in the backfield to call out the plays and and do and show him where to go and everything. Trey Burnt was a very smart player and then of course what he did in um with Philly and and uh with the Bears had a nice NFL career and was part of the uh Philly special that was of course big story and became a media darling after he didn’t like the media earlier and the uh the uh the other is that he is was inducted this week into the state of Florida Hall of Fame. Quite an honor for him. It’s uh big-timers that get into that, which is why I continue on my streak of never getting into a Hall of Fame. I’m My goal is to die before I get into a Hall of Fame, I think. No, I don’t want to do I don’t want to die. I just don’t want to I don’t I’m hoping I don’t get into any of them just because that says a lot about me that Douly doesn’t need to get in. He’s okay. He’s got everything. I don’t know what it says about me to be honest, but my streak is alive. All right, let us move along. Uh, that was this, that, and the other. And again, we appreciate our new sponsor, the Atlanta Hustle, and we will give they they are the team of the Southeast. That’s the most southeast team uh for that sport. So, we’ll we’ll talk about them as we go forward. Um, let’s get to our Gallow Car Wash sponge of the week brought to you by Gallow Car Wash, our good friends there. It’s where we get our cars washed. And uh Kelsey I know is ready to go get hers washed because I think she’s just pulling up now and it looks pretty dirty. So she’s going to go to Gallow. That’s the only place to go. Our sponge of the week is Jal August. Of course she is a very good volleyball player at the University of Florida and she soaked up some honors this weekend or this week by being named first team all SEC. Now that is a big honor. I mean, it’s hard to get first team all SEC as good as this league has become. In the old days, um, it was, you know, Florida would have maybe two or three on first team all SEC because they were dominating the conference, but everybody’s gotten good. Kucky’s gotten good. We all know, uh, other teams coming into this league are have made it tougher. But to be first team, I was surprised that they had anybody that was, but she’s been great all year. So, um, she is our sponge of the week. Uh, let us move along to the Gainesville Quarterback Club. And, oh, by the way, I wanted to mention this. Saturday, Florida is playing against either Alabama or South Carolina Saturday in the SEC tournament. They actually have an SEC volleyball tournament. Why they wait this long, I don’t know, but they have one now. So, Florida’s playing on Saturday. It’ll be around 3:00 and it’ll be on SEC Plus. just if you’re looking to watch that quarterback club. Um I can tell you Bob Kesling was unbelievable on Tuesday. I I laughed so hard at some of his stories. They were they were great stories. Some of them had to do with him. Some of them had to do with coach Spurer. Some of them had to do with Pton Manning full Phil Fulmer. There was just a lot of great stories. He went he actually talked for a long time too. It was great because he had so many good stories to tell and he was tremendous. So, it’s just another streak of We have had an unbelievable year of speakers at the quarterback club. Our our final one will be Jud Davis um this Tuesday and you know, he’s going to be great. He’s always great. Um and then the following week, we’ll have the uh high school honors and I kind of give a little talk about Well, I guess I won’t be able to preview the bowl game, will I? No, I I’ll talk about something, but we’ll I usually give a little talk on that. Uh, so that is the Gainesville Quarterback Club, the oldest club in the world. I was thinking about this the other night, how, you know, a lot of these clubs are celebrating anniversaries and a lot of these club, but a lot of these clubs were started with Charlie Pel. You know, Charlie Pel came in and goes, “We need Gator clubs.” He kind of invented there was already a Gainesville quarterback club here a long time before Charlie Pel and so that’s why it’s the oldest one in the world and Mars. We’re we’re taking Mars over. Okay. Appreciate the Gainesville Quarterback Club. Let’s get to the Losenderos smooth move of the week brought to you by Loslanderos Tequila. Go beyond Loslanderos, my favorite tequila and Urban Meyer’s favorite tequila. Um, we had Urban on Monday. That was pretty cool to have both NC National Championship coaches on the same day and Jeffrey Melvin. Um, our Loslander smooth move of the week was performed by the College Sports Commission, which is I think we’ve all looked at this thing and those of us who follow it closely and and even those of you don’t, they’re not going to have any power. They’re not going to do anything. Well, they have they have written this 10-page letter to all the schools that they deal with and said, “Hey, we want the power to discipline, to penalize. We you guys have to give us the power. If we’re going to investigate this stuff, we’re not going to investigate it and go, this is a problem, but I you guys are going to sue us and everything.” We don’t want to get sued by anybody anymore. So that it’s going to be interesting to see if that if everybody signs off on this because it’s really it’s literally like sign this and agree to this and um it’ll be interesting to see what that happens but it’s a very smooth move because otherwise they were toothless and weren’t going to go anywhere. Uh we’ll see how that all works out. All right, let us wrap it up with our games of the weekend. We always do this brought to you by the Swamp Restaurant. Of course, the Swamp Restaurant is the place to go to watch all these games. Great food, great uh drink specials, great atmosphere, TVs everywhere. Uh Kyle and Ryan will take care of you at the Swamp Restaurant. All right, let’s go to um Friday night. Uh Florida State. Um is that NC State? Yeah, I look I don’t have any This is football. I’m sorry. I don’t have any real thoughts that NC State’s gonna upset them. I’d like to see it though and I’ll stay with it as long as they have a chance. You know that it’s at eight o’clock on ESPN. That’s a good Friday night game though. I wish FSU played all its games on Friday night. Like remember when Miami did way back Well, you guys don’t remember some of you, but back in the old days, all Miami’s games were home games were at Friday night. I I I like Friday night games. Um, I know the high schools don’t like it. But I mean, the people who are going to stay and watch the games are going to watch them anyway. They’re not going to go to a high I’m not going to a high school game. If somebody really asked me and their son was playing, I’d go. Yeah. But I’m not going to go. I’d rather watch a college game on TV. That’s me. I’m old. All right, let’s get our uh games for the weekend. Uh, the the best noon game is Missouri at Oklahoma. Now Missouri, you know, I guess Eli Drinkwoods is kind of auditioning for one of these jobs. Um, that game is on ABC. I I can see Missouri going in there and making it interesting. That that should be enough. Uh, the 3:30 best game, USC at Oregon. Very important game there, especially for Oregon. On CBS, Oregon, God, CBS has had so many stinkers this year uh on TV. I feel bad for Brad Nestler and Gary Danielson. Um anyway, that but that is a good one. That is a game that I’ll be all over. Of course, it’s 7:30. Tennessee at Florida is on ABC. Uh you also have BYU at Cincy at 8 on Fox. Uh not a bad game there. Uh Hoops plays Friday. It’s on the plus. We mentioned that earlier. Um that game’s at 7. the Bucks Ram at the Rams is at 8:30 or 8:15 or whatever time they play that game uh game on um ESPN uh as well. And there’s a lot of good NFL games this weekend. I’m looking forward to the NFL more than I am the college to be honest with you. The college schedule’s not great this week, but it will be great next week. It will be awesome next week. All the rivalry games. That is a funny thing. And I want to this is the last thing I’m going to say before I get out of here. This is another good example of the league screwing Florida on scheduling in that they want somebody to play on the weekend on the I’m sorry the Saturday before all the rivalry games. They don’t want everything to be a directional school. So they assign a couple of teams to play it. And Florida with its unbelievably brutal schedule gets stuck with a game like that. Tennessee, one of its big rivalry games right before the FSU game. Now, all these other schools, Alabama, you know, playing East Georgia College at women’s college. I don’t know. You know, if you want to be paranoid about the the SEC and how you think they get they treat the University of Florida, I I get it after after the what’s happened with the scheduling the last couple years. I can get your paranoia. I’m not I’m not going to argue that you’re wrong anymore because it it does feel that way. Anyway, like this, you know, when they do this like in this thing, they go, “Okay, no interference call there. All right, that’ll do it. Uh, appreciate Zach as always doing a great job. Appreciate Billy Horshel for joining us. Also, Chris Masters and Dr. Coup for joining us to talk about prostate health. It’s very important, guys. I know you’re going, I don’t want to hear about prostate. It’s important, dudes. Get out there. Get out to the game. Get your blood taken. It’s not much. It’s really nothing. It’s just stick. That’s it. It’s like a little little like acupuncture. All right, we’ll be back Monday with Coach Spur. Can’t wait for that. Robbie Andrew will be back. In fact, Robbie Andrew is going to double up on the podcast Monday and Wednesday. He’s going to be on for Yes, No Way or Maybe. Um, and we appreciate him. We’ll be back on Monday. Until then, for another Dilly Noted podcast presented by Titan MRI and Imaging coming to you from the Melden Law Gator Studios. I am Pat Douly. I am deep. I’m way back. And I am out of here.
