Coach Eli Reaction, Indecision Drags On

Welcome to our number two of the Jim Rome show. It is presented by FanDuel. Go ahead and find me another coach like Eli Drinkwitz. Find me another coach who shows up to the show like that.

And that's not one of those things like the SID fed him that. However, my man got that info. Either his own research. He was able to mix in a little bit of listening, a little bit of viewing, a little bit of podcast.

He knows the show and we know he has roots. he has roots going way way way back to the show which is why he shouts out the 909 but that that was unbelievable even for him and let me just say for the record I know a lot of you are like yeah yeah hey Rome Robert Plant you're not gonna go talk to his team well I'm trying to figure out a

way to do that right now I started the day by like you know when should we do the smack off when when does that make sense now I'm like when and how can I get to Columbia to talk to Eli Trinkwitz's team. Well, I want that now.

You know that meant the world to me that he said, I've heard your Reinvention Project podcast. I think that you've had a really interesting journey yourself. I would love for you to come talk to my team

and talk about the media and talk about what you've learned and what you know. I mean, what an honor. An SEC coach saying, come address my team.

Like, we get invites, and I'm always pumped by that. We've gotten really, really good invites from other programs. but to get an invite from an SEC coach saying, come address my team,

I'm definitely looking to make that happen. I'm looking to make that happen anytime I can. I love that space. You know I love that space.

I've got a podcast with like 100 episodes devoted to that space. I've started to write a book that's not about that space

but has space in the book about that space. So that was a kick, man. That was awesome, Eli. Big shout out to you.

As long as Eli's shouting everybody out, shout out to my man Eli. I don't know that we need a smack off. I think he just won it. 1-800-636-8686.

That was pretty mind-blowing. My man is so good. And for the record, what a job he's done there. Seven years now at Missouri.

Overall, 46-29. Six straight bowl games at Missouri. 2023 SEC Coach of the Year. I love also when he started getting into the politics of the thing.

He said, my SID's telling me, no, no, no, no, no. And Eli's just going. Just going, being Eli. Shaking off the SID.

He's trying to, he knows. Kind of like Alvy used to shake me off until Alvy started punching up F-bombs. Anyway, the second day in a row

where I'm responding to a guest who was awesome. Dante Wittner was so good yesterday. He made a lot of news. A lot of news for some of the things he said on this program.

So I appreciated him and I said, where is the interview that you respond to at length? So Dante yesterday and Eli today. All right, so we start our number two.

You've got your telephone number. If you want to find me on the X, go ahead and do so at Jim Rome. If you want to email me, go ahead and do so. Rome at Habitatate.com.

If you want to get up in the chat, go ahead and do that too. And something else I just want to reference really quickly. I love that you're still finding YouTube. People are finding the show on YouTube.

People have heard the show for years and years and years, if not decades. They're like, damn, Rome, didn't know you were on YouTube. Well, we are, and it's great. Some of the reaction.

Chris 24-04. No way he just said shout out to the clones and Brad. Oh, dude, he said a hell of a lot more than that. I mean, that in and of itself would have been something.

He did way more than that. He shouted out way more than that. I'll be honest. I know he's busy and that Nick the Clone does not listen to every hour of every show.

But I'm shocked I haven't heard from Nick the Clone. Nick the Clone generally has a take on most coaches that we put on, especially coaches that he respects. because Nick is well aware of everything that goes on in football,

both in college and the pro game. And Nick loves good inputs. Nick loves smart coaches, good coaches, tough coaches, coaches that inspire.

I guarantee he's an Eli guy, and I'm shocked that I haven't heard from Nick after Eli shouted him out. Tommy Gunn, 52801, quote,

The drink just stepped his game up a ton in my book. Stepped your game up. Are you kidding? Way up.

The drink, even in my book, the drink went to a whole other level. The drink always brings it. The drink always brings it. Even before we went to him live, Tommy said to me, because I always say,

do we have our guest? And the answer generally is he's good. She's good. they're ready or we don't have them yet but I see this setup so we know they'll be ready in a minute

I said to Tom do we have our guy he goes oh dude he's ready he's ready I'm like how do you know he's like I can see him he's ready he's ready he's got that energy the drinks got that vibe like he's ready V and the Fee quote Eli is the man let's go I'm waiting for his Orenthal reference that that's the only thing he didn't reference and would have surprised anybody at all if he did

and galea mi quote eli should be more worried about the playoff than the smack off bro stop being a buzz kill you did it yesterday you're doing again right now you don't want that to be your brand what you're gonna come and take a dump on that guy you're gonna come and take a dump oh hey man he should be more worried about the playoff than the smack off you know what dude he

is. He is. Believe me. He's way more concerned about the playoff than the smack-off. He's just playing along,

having a little fun, knows what show he's on. I mean, dude, are you that much of a buzzkill? Are you that much of a black cloud?

He should be more worried about the playoff than the smack-off. Bro, stop bringing me down. Everybody thought that was cool except you. Don't be that guy.

This guy, Bilal, Bilal, 46-14. He seems cool I'll let my son play for him.

All right. Whoever your son is. I have a question for you. Blah, blah, blah.

Does he want your son? Who is your son? I'm not saying that your son is not a player.
