Welcome into another season, another show of the butcher versus the spin instructor presented by LB's meat market. I'm Neil McCready. I'm one of two consistent staples on this show, which now enters year number seven on MPW digital. I'm live from the Clark Ford studios. Here in Oxford, Mississippi, I'm joined by Greg Jones of LB's meat market. He's the other member who has been consistent staple on this show now going into seven years. LB's meat market 2008 University Avenue in Oxford will tell you more about it in a moment. I said a sponsor to the show from week number one season number one in 2020 and speaking of season number one week number one Campbell McCready, who was then a sophomore in college at the University of Arkansas. COVID year stuck in the Chi Omega sorority house pretty much all year. Nothing but time did

the did this show that first year first of three straight years that she did it. She then passed the baton to her younger sister Caroline. The dance instructor. Who was a dance instructor? Still is a dance instructor. I'm glad. Caroline still is the producer of this show. She I will send the show to her. She'll post producing it ready for MPW digital. Both in terms of video. And if you're listening on podcast, but Campbell is back. I'm back. She's not really a spin instructor anymore. I'll let Campbell let you explain what it is that you do in the fitness business, but I didn't really want to have to do a completely new graphic thing. I said, Hey, would it be okay? I said, Campbell a text. I was like, would you be okay? Just kind of be in the spinning instructor, even though you don't spin instruct anymore. And she's like, yeah, it's fine. So we're going to call it the butcher versus the spin instructor for yeah, the artistly form the artist formerly known as the spin instructor. Yeah. Yeah.

I got a little instructional title. Yeah, you still instruct. You just don't do a bike anymore. But you know, people on the jeans and you have music and I mean, it's kind of the same thing. Yeah, similar. It works. So how would you describe plank? You work for plank? I work for plank fitness. It is a branch of LaGree studios or a chain of LaGree studios that we have a studio in Rogers. LaGree is kind of like they took Pilates and made it heavier resistance and added like strength training and a little bit of hit to it. You've taken a class. So you've got a test to the difficulty challenge. Greg, I took plank and I was alongside my son Carson, who is quite fit physically and Carson was next to me on the plank. And I looked over at him at one point in his body's quivering and he's kind of laughing and I realized in that moment,

I'm done. I have no chance whatsoever. And from that point forward, I just sort of laughed my way through it. And I think they I think they laughed at me, but I like to think they were laughing with me, not at me. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I would be afraid to know what I'd look like in a studio like that. Maybe if I lose, that should be my punishment and take a plank class. Yeah. It's a thought. It's a thought. Oh, yeah. I'm pretty sure I'd look like mince out there. It's it was it was a challenge. So you teach how many classes a week at plank for the most part. It's not your teaching is not your full-time job, right? Teaching is not my full-time job. I teach five, teach two on Monday, two on Tuesday and two on Thursday. Okay. Yep. All right. So that plank locations are also in like it was one of Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City, St. Louis, Tulsa, Omaha, and Vale. Vale. Wow. So you have the opportunity to move to Vale if you wanted to?

I guess I would, but yeah. I think I'll be staying put. Yeah, it sounds really cold. There would be some people in in her life that would not be happy with her. She said, that would not go well. All right. Greg, what's going on at LBs? It's 2008 University Avenue and Oxford. I say this. It's across from Kroger, like Kroger Be your landmark, head across the street. All of the freshest cuts of beef, chicken, pork, seafood, stuffed jalapenos. Carson did a little work for Greg. Yeah. We told him how to do jalapeno poppers. Yeah. jalapeno poppers, stuffed mushrooms, bacon, wrapped asparagus, green beans, and more. What else what else do the people need to know about? The roundabout is a fixed thing. Fix. You know, you don't you don't have any, well, if you know how to operate around about that helps, but the roundabout is officially fixed over here. So we don't have any kind of traffic problems. Maybe we have some traffic problems. I don't know if you got to operate the roundabout. So, but yeah, we're right off the first round about and across the street from Kroger and get fresh seafood tomorrow, which we're recording on Wednesday.

So every Thursday we get fresh seafood. I'm about to make some sausage. People have been requested some boot answer. I'm going to try to get on some boot answer. Other than that, just, you know, ready for the football season. Who knows what this year's going to be like? I'm just whatever happens I'm ready for it. Just bring it, you know, ready. This show has always served as a bit of a public service announcement, by the way, that you should not try to make a living on sports gambling. We will prove that to you over the course of the next few weeks. I'll do a little bit of that today. I'll let Campbell be my guinea pig. She doesn't know of the quiz that she has coming her way. I anticipate she will fail this quiz, which is the point. The also the point is that this is year seven. I think Greg has won two LBs cups. Yeah, we've got to find out the overall record against Campbell. I think I've won twice and you won once. Yeah, Campbell won twice. Greg won once and then Caroline beat Greg twice and lost once. And the time she lost, she lost on the final game of the year, which was the Super Bowl. They were tied going to the Super Bowl. Greg got the

right. Got the full game. Correct. Well, I got lucky. Yeah, I went against my mom. She was really upset that I picked the Eagles over her Travis Kelsey Taylor Swift's football team. Yeah, I think I think Caroline picked the chiefs because of Taylor Swift. So that's the point. As we get started here is they keep in mind that Campbell and Caroline have combined for four LBs cups. And they probably over the course of the entire football season watch maybe four minutes of football combined. So keep that in mind. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I mean, if it's not a, if it doesn't have four legs in the tail, I'm I'm I'm I'm absolutely think I know really is the horses. So yeah, it's fun. I should be a fun day. I'm going to go to Kentucky Downs for a couple of races and then go to the Louisville Ole Miss game that night. So it's the third. Should be a town on Sunday. All right, here we go. We have one game on Thursday, one game on Friday, a bunch of games on Saturday and one Sunday game that Greg just mentioned. So we'll start on

Thursday. Campbell sits. Caroline, one last year, you get to go first. Congratulations. It is Arkansas Pinebluff headed to Columbia, Missouri to play the Missouri Tigers. This is a seven o'clock game on the SEC network. Arkansas Pinebluff Campbell is a 54 and a half point underdog. So do you remember how this works? Yes, I think so from if I pick Missouri, Missouri has to beat Arkansas Pinebluff by more than 55 points. Yeah, they have to win 55 or more. Right. That's correct. Okay, and if I pick Arkansas Pinebluff, they just have to not lose by. They either have to win or lose by 54 points or fewer. Okay, because it's impossible to score half a point. Right. Okay. Um, well, I'm going to go with Missouri. I don't know. Why, but Arkansas Pinebluff, I would guess they are really bad. So I'm going to go with Missouri. All right, real quick before we get Greg's pick,

can you name the head coach for the University of Missouri? He's been there since 2020. No, I don't even have a chance. Okay. All right, Greg, guys, she's going to take Missouri, lay 54 and a half. Well, Eli's still there, right? Darker with darker, darker withs or darker withs. Eli drink withs is the coach. Yeah, yeah. That's good. He picked the right school. Um, I'm going to go with Missouri. Why not? I mean, Arkansas Pinebluff sounds pretty terrible. Yeah, they're pretty bad. They, uh, they have been blown out their last two games like these. These are there. These are their money games. All right, Greg, we go to Friday night. It's you, tap. They head to 10th ranked Oklahoma. This game, seven o'clock on the SEC network. Camel, you can't Google names. I'm not. Okay. Yeah. Can't Google now. I literally started talking to chat GBT. They've really, they've got a lot, they've got, they're pretty smart. They're everywhere. You tap, Greg is a 41 and a half point underdog in Norman. I'm going to go with Oklahoma. I've seen some pictures of John Matier. I don't know if they

are a I generated, but, uh, I think he's put on some muscle. Uh, he, I saw him in Tampa. Uh, actually talked to him for a few minutes in Tampa and he, he, he looks like he's been working out. Yes, he does. He looks like he's been in the gym. A good bit. We're good deal. I'll take over. All right. I can't believe he's going to take the sooner or the later points. Okay. I'm also going to go with Oklahoma. I don't know who you tap is. So I don't feel confident picking them. It's the University of Texas. Yes, they're the minors at El Paso. They're the minors. Uh, Campbell, can you name the Oklahoma football coach? No. Okay. Can you? How long has he been there? I like four, five years. Vennables. Oh, yeah. Uh, I think it's, uh, the Clemsons old coordinator. Clemsons, Clemsons old defensive coordinator, Brett Vennables. It's right. Vennables. Yeah. All right. We go to Saturday's games. Campbell. It's Alabama. At home, they're ranked 13th this season to open the season at 11 a.m. on ABC. They play East

Carolina. And Alabama is giving up 28 and a half points. Um, I'm going to go with Alabama. I'm having a reason. Greg, she's she's staying with the, uh, staying with the favorites here in the late 20. I'm going to go with these Carolina for some stranger. Great. Go with the pirates. Yeah. Yeah. I like purple too. Campbell, can you name the Alabama football coach? No. I'll even go one better. I'm going to give you a free one here. Can you name the Alabama football coach before this one? Um, yes, I know who it is. Oh, Nick saving Nick saving. Look at you. Uh, Campbell's sort of one for three. You can't get a half a point in a football game. But by God, you can get a third versus this. You're going to get that point for that. I think you should get points for this. I really think you should get points. I mean, like, that's at least worth a half a point for sure. I agreed. All right, we give her a

half point for, uh, for, for getting Nick Saban. All right, Greg, it's Kent State. They hit the road to play South Carolina. This is at 1145 on the SEC network. Kent State getting 36 and a half, Greg. Is this the team that is, uh, hiring a fan to run their first offensive series? Their first home game. Yes. Yes. There's Kent. Yes, Kent. Or is it Akron? For some reason, I thought it was Kent. Whoever did it, it was brilliant though. Yeah, I'll have to do some research. I forgot. I don't know. It's either one, but yes. Um, I'm going to go with South Carolina. If you're asking for fan advice on the, uh, first playoff, the first offensive series, uh, you either need some fans or you just desk performance. They sold a absolute boatload of season tickets doing it. That's awesome. I mean, it's really free food. I think free food also or something like that. I mean, it was, it was really, it was a really smart marketing. Boy, it's really, really bright. All right, Campbell, he's going to take South Carolina, uh, lay the 36 and a half against Kent State. Um,

I'll go with Kent State just to do something different. Okay. Uh, can you name the South Carolina football coach? No. Okay. Shane Beamer. Okay. It's okay. Youngstown State Campbell, they had the Kentucky. Kentucky has a new football coach. He's the first year football coach. There's no chance in hell. You'll get this one either. Youngstown State is, uh, getting, am I reading that right? You had 23 and a half points at Kentucky. This game is at noon on a SEC plus. I'll go with Kentucky. I also don't know where Youngstown State is. Oh, hi, oh, hi, oh, they're the penguins. They are the penguins. Oh, yeah. That's great. They are the penguins. Uh, I'm going to go with Kentucky too. I think I've heard some inside of sources that they've got a pretty decent chain. They might win three games this year. I do think, I do think they'll be interesting. Um, Will Stein, the former Oregon offensive coordinator takes over as the Kentucky coach and they got the defensive

coordinator from Texas A&M. He's really, really good. Yeah. A little breath of fresh air there. So they, who knows, it might be, might be, um, interesting one. All right. Greg, we go to Athens, Georgia, the third ranked Bulldogs, uh, open their season at home against Tennessee State. Georgia is a 47 and a half point favorite. I'll take Georgia at home. That, um, clearly they can win 51 and nothing. I will say that they rarely cover these games under this head coach who has been there since 2015. Boom. Do you think you think Campbell Nies? No. I'm going to guess that she cannot name the coach at Georgia. I have no idea. Kirby smart. Okay. Kirby smart. All right. Uh, Greg's going to take Georgia and lay the points, Campbell. What about you? 47 and a half of them. I'll also go with Georgia. Okay. All right. Campbell, we go to Austin, Texas. I know it's a place

you like fifth ranked Texas at home, 230 on ESPN against Texas State. The Bobcats head to town to open the season. They arrive as a 30 and a half point underdog. I'm going to go with Texas. You like Austin, don't you? Yeah, I do like Austin. Yeah. I know you. I wonder she, I wonder she knows who the quarterback for Texas is. Do you know, I'm not going to know any of the other people that are. Archmaning is the quarterback for Texas. Okay. Yeah. The head coach for Texas is first name is Steve. Shark easy. Steve. I don't know. I do. Okay. Now we're proving a point. It's okay. You're being a guinea pig today, but we're proving a point because you're going to end up winning the competition. And I'm going to say, see when you go 13 and three against the spread, it's going to be like this is the point of this is you should not be doing this with your real money. All right, Greg, she's going to take the horns late 31 and a half. Yeah, I'll take Texas to why not? I think

archmaning it. How many years has he been there now? Surely he's got it figured out. Starter fourth year. It's the second year as the starter. I will see the last last half of last season, everybody does these archmaning jokes and stuff, not you, just in general second half of last season, archmaning was really good. For sure. All right, we go Greg to Knoxville, Tennessee. It's the Tennessee volunteers at home, 230 on SEC plus they play the Ferman Paladins. Ferman showing up as a 46 and a half point underdog. I'm going to go with Tennessee strictly because they're going to wear dolly stickers on their helmets. That's true. Nice call. That is a good dolly. Yeah, everybody loved dolly. She was great. I mean, she's one of the few people probably who spanned generations like everybody knew who dolly pardon was. Yeah, that Johnny Carson clip was pretty awesome. Like the Johnny Carson show where she pulled out the guitar and did that like that

was really good. She does a lot of great clip. Merle Haggard had like a lifetime crush on her, wrote two songs about her. Wow, yeah, I've got a, and then Joe lean is about, you know, another person, you know, like, yeah, there's a lot. I have a friend that she performed at Northwestern State Homecoming. His dad was the coach Sam, Sam Goodwood. Yeah, his dad was the coach and she performed a homecoming one year when he was the coach. How about that? All right, Carol, Campbell Gregson, a 48, 46 and a half in Knoxville. I'll go with Ferman. Oh, Campbell going with the powders. What color is Ferman? How about that? What color? I don't know, but to me, it's like giving purple, am I right? Oh, wow. Wow, that is so good. That is good. That is really good. I was either going to give you a hint, you know,

I said it already on the show. I didn't know I swear at it. I believe you. Yeah, they're purple. Yeah, they have a nice, nice uniform scheme. Yeah, I'm going to stick with them then. All right, paladin. They're called the paladins. All the paladins. All right, Campbell, we go to Auburn, Alabama. We can't pick on Hugh Freeze anymore. He is no longer the Auburn. Oh, you're going to ask her that. I could have I would not have got it. Got it. Would you you wouldn't even known Freeze at this point? Would you? Where he's like, are you asking where he is now? Yeah, no, I have no idea. He doesn't either. He's nowhere. I'll give you a where is he? He's not coaching. Is he only like some kind of like network, like talking about? No, I think he's just living in Auburn playing golf. Wow. That's awesome. I mean, can you qualify for the signature, right? He's over 50. Yeah, he's my age. Oh, man, that's a great new hobby to pick up, getting paid to not coach and play golf every day. Yeah, sign me up for it.

All right, Campbell, it's Baylor and Auburn in Atlanta in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. 230 on ABC Auburn is a seven point favorite. I'm going to go with Baylor. I'm just going with Baylor. I think on my first season, I like didn't pick Auburn because I didn't, and my reason was I didn't like the college tour just to get myself something to pick against. That's true. I'm going to stick with what color school is Baylor? What color they are? White, gold and green or yellow? Oh, yeah. Watch right. She loves those green ones. She was anything green. That was an angle. She did hate her college visit to Auburn, despised it. She got in the truck. We were like 20 minutes later. She goes, I hated it. I was like, okay. Yeah, didn't you get, like, everybody I just said, worry, you go tell you, like, we just be talking about. Yeah, which I didn't like that, but like, I don't even, I can't really put my finger on why I didn't. I had also already gone dark and so I think you'd made up your mind.

Yeah, you were done. Yeah, I'm after the temperatures a lot better and fan the versus the planes of Auburn. Probably a little bit. Yeah. It was so hot the day of that visit. I remember that it was kind of like it is here right now where you just can't breathe. Yeah, everything's dry. All right, Greg Campbell's going to take Baylor and get seven in Atlanta. I'll take Auburns. That coach seems like a nice guy. I saw pretty good interview with him the other day. Seems like a nice guy. He is a nice guy. Campbell, I assume you do not know the name of the Auburn coaches Alex Gowish, the former South Florida coach. He is a nice guy. He was almost gambled the coach in Arkansas, but it kind of fell through. He ended up getting the Auburn job instead. And Arkansas hired y'all. I knew this question was going to wait, where did he formerly coach from? Do you know where Arkansas? Where Arkansas's current coach

last year? It's kind of close. Would would brock know this? Yeah, he would know I think. Okay. I have probably hit driver driver and get there. It's it now I'm blanking on his name Silverfield. Is it Rick Nutrick? Silverfield. Yeah. Ryan. Ryan Silverfield is the coach in Arkansas now. Okay. All right, Greg speaking of Arkansas, they are at home in Fayetteville on Saturday, 315 SEC network to open their season and a new coach era against North Alabama. It's the golden lions of North Alabama. They are 40 and a half point underdog against Arkansas. I think I saw a clip of North Alabama's punter. He's like real. He did a couple. He's really good. And so I'm going to go with North Alabama. They've got a really good punter. All right, Campbell, he's going to

take North Alabama and get 40 and a half against the Razorbex. What do you think? I'm going to go with Arkansas, obviously. I don't know anything about clearly, about our football team, but I'd go for the for the vibes I go to have a drink and hang out. Could you name one player on the Arkansas team if your life depended on it? No, like I literally can't. What if I let you, what if I let you name a player from last year, even? No, I don't know. Y'all's quarterback last year, Taylor Green. I'm a fan of Taylor Green. He made the Cleveland Browns roster. Not the practice squad, but the real roster. Good for us as a embarrassing. I don't know anybody. How many quarterbacks does the Browns have? Three on the active roster to Sean Watson, Shadour Sanders, and now Taylor Green. Wow. Okay. I got to talk to Taylor Green a little bit last season somehow on something. I guess I was working on a story the week of the Ole Miss game. Really nice young man. I was I was happy to hear that he made the Browns. He seems like a

seems like a really quality person. All right, Campbell, we go to Texas A&M. The Aggies ranked eighth in the country to open the season. They played six o'clock on ESPNU against Missouri State. They are a 41 and a half point favorite against Missouri State. I'm going to go with Texas A&M. I assume you do not know their coach. No. Greg, she's going to take the Aggies. She's going to lay the 41 and a half against the Bears. I'll definitely take today. It takes me to my buddy Reagan. It's Mike Elco is the coach of the the Aggies. I'm not going to remember any of these coaches either. That's okay. Now, this next one is one that I think everyone should know because I think this is easily the best looking coach in college football. It's Vanderbilt at home, Greg, six o'clock SEC network plus Vanderbilt won nine games a year ago. They are a 30 and a half

point favorite against Austin P. Wow. That's a pretty big number. I want to take Vanderbilt. Like a five star quarterback now or something like that? They do. They have a five star quarterback that everybody recruited. He did not win the job though. He goes into the season as the backup. Oh, okay. Yeah. All right. Campbell, she's going to take, I mean, Greg's going to take Vanderbilt lay 30 and a half. I'm also going to go with Vanderbilt. I've never heard of Austin P. Austin P. Their head coach at Vanderbilt is Clark Lee. If you have permission to Google Clark Lee and hit images and you'll see that Clark Lee is easily the most handsome man in all of college football. It's not even close. It's not closing. He's like, look, look, look at you smiling. He's so attractive. Look at that. It's okay to admit it. It's beautiful man. Don't you think? Yeah. I mean, stunning. Wouldn't you agree? Definitely. Yeah. I think so. Clark, I got your back, buddy. All right.

All right. I don't even know whose turn it is at this point. It's going to go into. It's fine. Okay. All right, Campbell. I'll be curious to see if you can get this one right. Clemson heads to LSU 630 on ABC. The Tigers open the season, the LSU Tigers that is open the season ranked 11th in the country. They are a 10 and a half point favorite over the Clemson Tigers. I'm going with LSU. And can you name LSU's coach? Lane Kishen. I knew we tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. The hot yoga story. Have you told him about this? I've hinted at it a few times. Campbell that on Lane Kip and Spinal Weekend in Oxford. On Thanksgiving morning, I was in California getting back from a basketball tournament and you

called to say that you had just taken a hot yoga class in Oxford. You were home for Thanksgiving. I went to hot yoga at 530 in the morning on Thanksgiving. And in Oxford, I had never been in this place. And I saw on the theoretical iPad. I saw Ella Kiffin, but I thought it would have been Landry. That's his daughter's name, right? Yes. Well, it turns out it was the entire family. And I picked the back row because I think that's like a safe bet that I won't end up next to the entire Kiffin family. And they've started putting like these heavier weights and some little towels on the mat next to me, but no one's there yet. And I don't know what didn't register that like, maybe they were saving the spot for someone that needed to have a reserve reserve spot, but about 10 minutes in to the stretch. Here comes Lane Kiffin right next to me. Like, I mean, this close to me. So... Did he like dump a bunch of water bottles or oldeners? He was taking like

bottled water and like pouring it on his mat. And which like, I mean, it was hot in there, but we're really close together. So like, I could feel the water splashing onto my area. He also did his own thing. It's certain points. He was like doing a different. He disregarded what the rest of the class was doing. So... No, no, no. Yeah, I mean, I left it immediately, Sarah Texton people. I asked Campbell, I was sitting on the plane and I said, she said, you won't believe it was next to me and hot yoga. And I knew immediately at that point, Lane Kiffin. And I said, surely you introduced yourself. And she said, no, and I said, I would have paid you. And I was like, you said it told me bad earlier because I would have. Oh, man. Wow. Oh, yeah. There's going to be money involved. I'd totally would have looked over and for sure. Absolutely. I had to introduce myself. Oh, man, that would have been...

That was a period right there where he wouldn't have been able to even pretend like, oh, I don't know you're talking about that. That would not have. That would not have. I would have been quite interesting actually to have seen that interaction. All right, Greg Campbell's taking LSU, lay in the 10 and a half in the Kiffin debut, which by the way, LSU media relations is saying it's the most requested celebrity and media game they've ever had at Taylor Stammer. Think about that. So how many NFL players do they have playing as of this moment? None. Oh, so they don't have NFL players as of tomorrow morning. It could be two. So like two people from the team that have been working out from day one are going to get kicked off for these two players to get on to the team. Is that how that's working? From what I've heard there, they have the roster spots to add them without taking anyone off. But obviously if they got playing time, they would take someone's playing time. Okay, well, I'm sure they had plenty of roster spots for that. So anyway, I'm going to go

with... I'm going to go with Clemson. I mean, the thought of even... I mean, it makes me cringe. I mean, I got my buddy sent me a picture of Tiger Stadium and I was like, is that the new NFL team? I mean, just trying to be funny. All right, Greg, we go to Mississippi State now, start from Mississippi 630 on ESPNU. It's the Bulldogs facing one of the great academic institutions in American history, University of Louisiana, Atman Row. ULM is a 28 and a half point underdog at Mississippi State. Your thoughts? I mean, for Mississippi State to be favored by that many points, that's a lot of points. I'm going to go with UL Monroe. Do you think they'll bring the ski team for, you know, a backdoor cover, for a light touchdown for a cover? I know that they're pretty strong ski team.

Oh, I mean, it always kind of pisses me off as a ULM grad that we always have to go on the road and play football and nobody ever wants to come to us and ski because they'll... they know what'll happen. So no, I mean, they probably won't even let our water ski people in the building, but they should because we would win and that's... we would humiliate them. Yeah, and everybody knows where those slumps are in the water. Yeah, yeah, what we do. So are we a practice? All right, Campbell, he's going to take ULM, get the 28 and a half against Mississippi State. Can you name Mississippi State's coach? Nope. I cannot. All right, Jeff Levy, the former former Ole Miss and Oklahoma offensive coordinator. Okay. Okay. I'll go with ULM. I feel like I feel like that'd be wrong of me not too. I appreciate that. That means a lot to me. All right, Campbell, one final game on Saturday. It's the Florida Gators at home in Gainesville at 645 on SEC Network. They play FAU, Lane Kippens,

former former team. FAU is a 27 and a half point underdog against the Gators. I'll go with Florida. Okay. Can you name Florida's coach? He's a friend of your dad's. No. Okay. John Someral. Okay. Former two-year-old coach John Someral. Now, the making his debut at the University of Florida. I'll be rooting for John on Saturday. Hope it goes well. Greg, what do you think? Florida? Yeah, I like Florida too. I like John Someral. I know there's some guys in the blue grass state that are real sad that they didn't get hit on, but maybe it all works out. Yeah. I hope it all works out for good guys. And John's a good guy. I'm glad that he had a lot of choices and he could have rolled the back. Yeah, it's good to have choices. He probably ultimately did. He absolutely did the smart prudent thing. He took a really good job that was in his hand and didn't wait to see if something else might happen. He did the right thing.

So I hope it works out for him. All right, one last game. It's Sunday night in Nashville, Nissan Stadium. They're in the music city. Greg is the 24th ranked Louisville Cardinals. Facing the ninth ranked Ole Miss Rebels. Ole Miss Greg is a six and a half point favorite. Then I'd be shocked if Ole Miss doesn't butt raise these guys by two or three touchdowns. But I could be wrong. It might be a close game, but I'm just got real high expectations for Ole Miss and we'll start it out with a two touchdown win against Louisville. I think. All right, Campbell, he's going to take Louisville and I'm sorry, he's taking Ole Miss and laying the six and a half against Louisville. What do you think? I agree. I'm going to go with Ole Miss. Can you name the Ole Miss coach who replaced Lane Kiffin? No. Pete Golden. Speaking of good guys, Pete seems like a really good guy. Yeah, year one for him as the head coach. He did coach. Yeah, we named the Flays Golden Flays now. So they're no longer lane-trades. So they're Golden Flays.

Golden Flays. I like that. That's got to... He did what you had to do, right? The special was too successful, but you had to rename it. Oh, yeah. I mean, I only went up $1. So that's good for the customer, but yeah, it's been $10 since 2019, so we went up to $11 and 2026. All right. So besides the Golden Flays, what's going on at LBs this weekend? I'm going to be making that boot in, making some sausage. Mom's been getting on me. She goes, Grant, you need to get caught up on your sausage. So you got to listen to your mom, especially when you work, whether or so. I have to go make some sausage. So hopefully I'm not here until the wee hours, but I'm going to try to make some boot in, spicy ribeye, regular ribeye. We'll get some fresh fish tomorrow, some salmon, some shrimp, and probably get some snapper and red fish. So, you know, just kind of the bare necessities always coming in with the bacon wrap for like for $10 on Sunday. And the can be pretty much taxed in their orders. Yeah, so 10% off on text in orders.

Freezer on Wednesdays and Sundays are $3. Okay. So that's an extra dollar. So yeah, just come in and just say that you listen to the pot. I'll get you 10 care along with some cool six six two two five nine two nine nine. If you want to get in touch with them, you want to use the text. You can do that there. Campbell already got playing for the weekend. Big weekend plans. Anything? Gonna go the game, I think. Oh, okay. Yeah. What time's that game? Three 15. Three 15s can be hot. Yes, it can be hot. But nothing other than that. Okay, we'll have fun. We look forward to look forward to talking to you. I'll be, we'll be a Nashville, but you know how to reach us. So, um, all right. So for Campbell McCready for Greg Jones, that does it for this edition of the butcher versus the spin instructor presented by LBs Meat Market. Don't forget 2008 University Avenue and Oxford 662 2592 999 until next week. Enjoy the games. Have a great weekend. Take care.
