You probably don't want to hear me 29 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,239 talk for three straight hours. So we do have some 30 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,519 great guests lined up today.

I was dying and 41 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,799 using like all of my energy to do the show 42 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,760 and then just passing out when I get home. 43 00:01:57,799 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: But feel great. 44 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,519 Speaker 2: Great win from the Tigers last night to bounce back 45 00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:08,800 from the series loss. So, Yeahja's got a big day today, 46 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:09,080 I do. 47 00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 3: Yeah. 48 00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 5: Today is me and Victoria's two year wedding anniversary. How 49 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,319 she managed two years is beyond me. 50 00:02:17,479 --> 00:02:20,199 Speaker 3: We're coming up on our two year anniversary here, tatus 51 00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:20,639 we are. 52 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,599 Speaker 5: We are coming up on our two year anniversary in 53 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,240 April and can't even plug in a mic correctly. So 54 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,599 we're going to see what happens today. Unfortunately, guys, I'm 55 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,719 working till like eight o'clock tonight, which is pretty unfortunate. 56 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 3: But do you just what are you doing until eight o'clock? 57 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,199 Speaker 5: So I have a high school baseball game to do 58 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,240 with five. However, it got pushed back to five thirty, 59 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,080 which means we're not done until about seven thirty. 60 00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 4: So I'm probably not getting home till about eight. 61 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 3: Then you do one last night? 62 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,039 Speaker 5: Yeah, So it's the district tournament. It was supposed to 63 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,240 be Monday and Tuesday. Monday was a rain out. They 64 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,919 pushed it back a day, which kind of sucks. 65 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 3: But are you solo or do you have a partner 66 00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:58,759 on this one? 67 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,439 Speaker 5: No, I have a Partnerctually wound up showing up yesterday 68 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,280 the game got moved from two to four, so he 69 00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:05,319 wound up showing up. 70 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 3: Doing baseball solo. Would have been it'd been to Yeah, 71 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,280 I didn't want to say that. 72 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 2: It's one of those where like you need a color 73 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,439 analyst to like bounce off of and give you the 74 00:03:15,479 --> 00:03:18,599 stats and everything. But he did, you know, do you 75 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,039 know what the second you know, how like every anniversary 76 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,240 has like China or like platinum or whatever. 77 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: You know, do you know what it is for the 78 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,199 second anniversary? 79 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,479 Speaker 4: It's not as paper first. 80 00:03:30,719 --> 00:03:32,759 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's first, but the second one 81 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:33,319 is cotton. 82 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:34,199 Speaker 4: Cotton. 83 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you gotta get Victoria something cotton. 84 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,719 Speaker 4: I probably got some cotton balls this somewhere around the house. Yeah, 85 00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:42,639 we're good. I probably find some cotton balls. 86 00:03:42,719 --> 00:03:44,039 Speaker 3: I wouldn't go with cotton balls. 87 00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 2: No, I would go like a robe, like a nice robe, 88 00:03:47,039 --> 00:03:48,400 maybe some pjs. 89 00:03:49,199 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 3: So you're looking it up, like what anniversary means? What? Yeahkay, 90 00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:55,840 I'm coming up on eighteen here, okay this summer, so 91 00:03:56,159 --> 00:03:57,800 I know, I feel like there's a lot. 92 00:03:57,719 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 4: Of for you. 93 00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:04,439 Speaker 1: All right, let's see eighteen year anniversary gift. I need 94 00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:05,439 a write additional. 95 00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 3: I don't even want to know it's. 96 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,319 Speaker 2: Porcelain for the eighteenth anniversary, So a new toilet, I 97 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,160 don't think appreciate that the anniversary here you go. 98 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 4: Maybe I don't know if maybe. 99 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 3: It's like a porcelain bowl. Will probably do there. If 100 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,600 it was, yeah, very much. So if it was Tea Bob, 101 00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:29,399 he definitely would get a new toilet. Yeah, yeah, that's 102 00:04:29,439 --> 00:04:32,600 where I would go to get said toilet. We do 103 00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:35,480 have a ton to get to. Pro Day is going 104 00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:37,319 to be taking place a little bit later on a 105 00:04:37,399 --> 00:04:39,639 laundre and I I know we'll be out there, Taytay. 106 00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:41,600 I'm sure you're working some kind of an extra job 107 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,800 or some job, so I don't think that you'll have 108 00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:45,959 the opportunity to go out there. 109 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,759 Speaker 4: Slim. Odds are slim right now. 110 00:04:47,879 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 3: Okay, who are we looking forward to watching out there 111 00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:53,759 during prodight? Will Campbell's going to be the main attraction. 112 00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:57,639 So Will Campbell's probably going to have every team I 113 00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:00,480 would assume in the top ten in the building, and 114 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,240 maybe even outside of the top ten, top fifteen. I'm 115 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,160 not saying every head coach is going to be there, 116 00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:11,279 but general manager, head scout, offensive coordinator, offensive line coach. 117 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,839 So there's going to be some names and faces in attendance. 118 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,639 Will it look like last year's LSU Pro Day? Probably not? 119 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,839 Probably not. You had Jayden Daniels, you had lague neighbors, 120 00:05:21,879 --> 00:05:25,639 you had Brian Thomas Junior. That was a packed indoor building. 121 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,439 But there's still going to be, you know, a high 122 00:05:28,519 --> 00:05:33,120 attendance level from some high up executives tate in the NFL. 123 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,079 So who is the most excited that you're going to 124 00:05:36,079 --> 00:05:37,079 be to go out there and. 125 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,319 Speaker 5: Watch outside of Will Campbell Maybe not the most excited, 126 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,439 but maybe the most important for him. 127 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 4: To me, it's Braden Swinson. 128 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,199 Speaker 5: He didn't run the forty at the at the NFL Combine, 129 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,040 and you and I talked about it like forty is 130 00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:51,519 not as important as a ten yard split. He did 131 00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:54,000 not do that at the combine. I'll be interested to 132 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,120 see what he does. A guy like him with a 133 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,439 good forty time, I mean, could move up the draft 134 00:05:58,439 --> 00:05:59,000 board a good bit. 135 00:05:59,079 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 3: I think. 136 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 4: I think that's a guy to keep an eye on. 137 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 3: One I was watching. I think it was my guy, 138 00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:06,000 Trevor Sikima, who does a great job for Pro Football Focus. 139 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,120 Him and Connor Rogers, who we've had on this show before. 140 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,279 They were talking about him maybe being one of the 141 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,319 most underrated players in this draft, and you're right about 142 00:06:14,399 --> 00:06:17,639 him not doing anything in Indie, and I kind of 143 00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:19,600 went off. And this isn't just Braden Swinston. I mean 144 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,240 it was more on campus Scativo. I went off from 145 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,600 the guys that didn't do anything in Indianapolis for the Combine, 146 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,800 And one of the reasons was because, like, that's it, 147 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,439 that's all you've got. We were talking about Xavier Verstrepo yesterday. 148 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,040 He goes out and runs a four eight two, and 149 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,720 I know he's like, well, my hamstring was tight. I 150 00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:40,519 don't know what the situation was. But when you don't 151 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,439 run at the combine and you save it for Pro Day, 152 00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:46,600 and if you run a four eight two, there's not 153 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,879 another day. There's no more Pro Day's, no more scouting combines, 154 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,519 that's it. That's your time. So you do run the 155 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,160 risk of if you don't have the time that you want, 156 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,720 that's going to be your official time the draft room, 157 00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:02,959 in the war room, whenever they're making decisions. So it's 158 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:03,800 a big day for him. 159 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 5: What they say about cam foot foot issue, calf issue, 160 00:07:07,879 --> 00:07:10,240 something like that hamstring, hamstring issue. 161 00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:12,839 Speaker 3: I believe he had a hamstring, so there's no official 162 00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:15,920 time on him. So Swint, Like, Swinton's somebody that I 163 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,680 think actually is going to run a nice forty. 164 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,759 Speaker 5: Well, I mean you you're somebody who did this. I mean, 165 00:07:20,519 --> 00:07:22,399 congrats to you, Jake. You're the only person I know 166 00:07:22,439 --> 00:07:24,199 who has done a pro day. So that's a big 167 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:29,680 day for you. Do they care more about a slow 168 00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:31,439 forty time or someone that didn't run it? 169 00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 4: Like, what are they taking to? 170 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:33,639 Speaker 6: Like? 171 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 3: What are they? 172 00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 4: They? 173 00:07:34,399 --> 00:07:34,519 Speaker 1: They? 174 00:07:35,439 --> 00:07:38,759 Speaker 3: They they have to have an official time. They want 175 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,240 eight times if they're using a high draft choice, okay, 176 00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:46,519 they need something to go off of. Now if you're okay, 177 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,199 So if you're a quarterback, Jade Daniel's perfect example, what 178 00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:54,319 do we think Jade Daniels could run pretty damn fast? Yeah, 179 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:55,959 I got don't four three four four, I don't know 180 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,480 what it is, but it's gonna be fast. Okay. But 181 00:07:57,519 --> 00:07:59,839 he's a quarterback. So he didn't run a forty really 182 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,560 need to run a forty. We saw him pull away 183 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,480 from the Florida Gators and go eighty yards, so like 184 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,519 that part of his game is understood. What can you do? 185 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,680 You know, throwing the football like that's the main objective here. 186 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,519 So like if Jaydon Daniels doesn't run, okay, but like 187 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,000 Milieu Neighbors had to run last year, like Jamar Chase 188 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,600 at his pro day, Remember he didn't run one at 189 00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:24,360 the count he had to run. You're not going to 190 00:08:24,439 --> 00:08:26,959 spend a top ten pick on a receiver and I 191 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,399 don't have a time on you a running back either. 192 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,440 It's just not gonna happen. I don't know that you'd 193 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,639 spend a first round pick on somebody you don't have 194 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,799 a verified time on unless there's like an injury and 195 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,519 you know it's legit and you're like, okay, well I 196 00:08:41,639 --> 00:08:43,440 know for a fact he couldn't run his forty. If 197 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,519 it's like I'm a hamstring site, that's red flags, right 198 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,879 wrong or indifferent, it's red flags because they're thinking, why 199 00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:50,120 don't you want to run the forty? 200 00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 4: I guess that's my question about Scataboo. 201 00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 5: Like let's say, I mean, would that drop him from 202 00:08:55,919 --> 00:08:59,480 like late second to possibly early four just because he 203 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,519 doesn't have a forty time? Because I mean I was 204 00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:03,840 telling you yesterday during one of the breaks, like what 205 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,480 I saw Cam'scattaboo to do against Texas? I don't care 206 00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:08,799 what its forty times, but like the only people. 207 00:09:08,639 --> 00:09:10,399 Speaker 3: Do now I know, I'm with you in that, but 208 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,679 they're going to want to know at least cone drills, 209 00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:16,639 like at bare minimum, he went to the combine, he 210 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,120 did vertical jump and the broad jump. That was it, 211 00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:23,879 and they were both impressive numbers. But I'm gonna tell 212 00:09:23,879 --> 00:09:26,480 you right now, there's not many times at the running 213 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,919 back position in the NFL where you're gonna stand still 214 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,080 and jump. It's just not gonna happen. Like I can 215 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,120 see that you're explosive, and that's why they do that. 216 00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:38,440 But I need to know at least like cone times, 217 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,759 forty times, all those type of things. So that's what 218 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,279 pro days are for. LSU's having their pro day again today, 219 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,840 so we'll get a chance to see the Tigers that 220 00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:50,200 have moved on one final time inside the indoor facility. 221 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,759 A little bit later on today again, A Landra and 222 00:09:52,799 --> 00:09:55,200 I will be out there so we'll get some good 223 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,799 reporting hopefully done today kind of report back who did well, 224 00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:02,080 maybe who'ston needs to try to do some more work 225 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,519 once they get drafted, once they sign that undrafted free 226 00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:07,440 agent rookie contract, we'll give you a full list of 227 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,960 who's participating at the LSU Pro Day as well.

Tiger Labor dot Com is the website, 280 00:12:36,759 --> 00:12:40,200 all right. LSU Baseball takes care of ULL in a 281 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:45,200 very big way. LSU wins seventeen to four over in 282 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,360 alec Bach Stadium and LSU has now improved to twenty 283 00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:51,919 three and three on the season. UL has dropped to 284 00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:55,559 eleven and fifteen. So not one of the UL teams 285 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,360 that we've seen in the past, but it was a 286 00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:01,159 big way for LSU to bout bounce back after dropping 287 00:13:01,159 --> 00:13:04,879 two of three in Austin to the University of Texas. 288 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,360 And look, you lost to Texas, you lost two games. 289 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,440 There's issues, certainly. The issues are something I think that 290 00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:15,879 you can look at and say, Okay, here's the area, 291 00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:17,879 and we talked about it the bullpen. We need to 292 00:13:17,879 --> 00:13:21,559 get it figured out. You have some live arms down there. Now. 293 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,200 It's about as we always say, with Jay Johnson turning 294 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,519 the Rubik's cube, how does he make sure that he 295 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,000 keeps turning it until he solves it? But I think 296 00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:33,759 you know, Elandra Tata, this is a nice bounce back way. 297 00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:37,240 You score seventeen runs, the bullpen, got some action in 298 00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:38,840 the game. You run role, so you don't play a 299 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,000 full game, obviously, but nice way to bounce back for 300 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:42,759 LSU baseball. 301 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good to get a good win under your 302 00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:51,200 belt whenever you drop two games back to back, but 303 00:13:51,399 --> 00:13:55,519 and especially against Yeah, I mean it was not the 304 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,279 competition wasn't what it usually is with the Cajuns, but 305 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,080 it's still an in state rivals. 306 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,519 Speaker 1: So still a big win for the Tigers. 307 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 2: And Jaden Newt went out there, got two strikeouts, no 308 00:14:06,639 --> 00:14:09,840 walks in three innings pitch and then he did end 309 00:14:09,919 --> 00:14:15,480 up putting William Schmid out there and no strikeouts for 310 00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:18,320 the kid. But I he just you gotta find it, 311 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,679 you know, like sometimes it just kind of like the 312 00:14:21,679 --> 00:14:23,840 command gets away from you. He needs to find it, 313 00:14:23,879 --> 00:14:25,399 and that's why I thought that it would be a 314 00:14:25,399 --> 00:14:28,840 good idea to roll him out there on last night 315 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,720 and ended up pitching two innings, gave up three hits, 316 00:14:32,879 --> 00:14:36,799 two runs, both of them earned, so one walk, and 317 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,559 then connor Bine went out there. Dorsey and Maverick Rizzy, 318 00:14:40,639 --> 00:14:44,639 we didn't talk about him yesterday, but he's another bullpen 319 00:14:44,799 --> 00:14:48,559 arm that hasn't been consistently good whenever you throw him 320 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,519 out there. So that's on me for not mentioning him yesterday. 321 00:14:51,519 --> 00:14:53,480 But that's another arm that you have that you can 322 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:58,559 rely on if you want to save Cowen for another time. 323 00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:00,879 Speaker 3: Which it feels like he is going to have to 324 00:15:00,879 --> 00:15:04,440 be the guy that you say for high leverage situations 325 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,320 and maybe your starters out there and not struggling, but 326 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,200 you can tell he's coming to the end. It's the 327 00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:12,080 fifth inning, you got a one run lead. You want 328 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,320 to get obviously to the eighth, the ninth inning, and 329 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,919 he's got to be that guy that goes the sixth inning, 330 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,360 the seventh inning because he has been so good this 331 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,600 year in that role. And look, do I think he 332 00:15:21,639 --> 00:15:23,960 could be a starter, Absolutely I do, but right now 333 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,320 you need him exactly where he's at and you don't 334 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,720 really have that luxury of doing that. And then getting 335 00:15:28,759 --> 00:15:31,120 back to William Schmidt and I'll go back to uktay 336 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,679 Like I know that Jay said he maybe wasn't going 337 00:15:34,679 --> 00:15:37,759 to pitch on Tuesday nights anymore, but he needed to 338 00:15:37,799 --> 00:15:39,960 go back out there in this game right after giving 339 00:15:40,039 --> 00:15:42,360 up the big home run against Texas. We know how 340 00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:44,639 talented he is. He was going to be a surefire 341 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,360 first round pick. The talent is there, but you're still 342 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,320 a freshman. I remember being a freshman. I remember being 343 00:15:51,679 --> 00:15:55,559 on the road against Florida. JaMarcus is making audibles. I 344 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,159 can't hear a word that he's saying. We're supposed to 345 00:15:58,159 --> 00:16:02,200 be running toss right, I go, like, it is tough, 346 00:16:02,559 --> 00:16:05,080 your head is spinning. Do you have the talent to 347 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,799 go out there and do it? Yes, so you wouldn't 348 00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:09,720 be in that situation. But no matter how talented you are, 349 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,600 and William Schmidt's way more talented than I was, you 350 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,879 have to figure it out. And that's okay, that's what 351 00:16:14,919 --> 00:16:18,480 you're supposed to do as a freshman. And so this 352 00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:22,480 isn't going to be the best competition right uls down 353 00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:25,279 this year, but it's still high leverage because it is 354 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,559 ull because you're going to have a more lively alley 355 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,240 box stadium because you're going to have an in state 356 00:16:31,399 --> 00:16:34,720 rival opponent, whatever you want to call it, in your stadium. 357 00:16:34,799 --> 00:16:39,000 And so the results were okay, they were okay. Didn't 358 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,360 have a strikeout. You mentioned, he does give up some 359 00:16:41,399 --> 00:16:43,840 earned runs, but he went out there, pitched two innings, 360 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,799 and it's just going to be a process with him. 361 00:16:46,159 --> 00:16:48,279 He's going to have to get comfortable. He's going to 362 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,759 have to figure out how to throw to college batters. 363 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,879 He will, and once he does later in the season, 364 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,360 you're going to be better because he's given you these 365 00:16:56,399 --> 00:16:59,200 innings right now, Earl in the season, early in conference 366 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,000 play as a freshman. 367 00:17:00,759 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 5: I love that he threw him out there. Matter of fact, 368 00:17:02,519 --> 00:17:04,039 I would have been okay if j would have thrown 369 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,079 nine pitchers. I would have been like, Hey, we don't 370 00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:08,200 want to run rule. We want one pitcher every inning. 371 00:17:08,279 --> 00:17:11,160 You gotta find guys that can put strikes up there. 372 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,240 They'll stop walking batters. They can get you outs. What 373 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,119 I liked the most about last night, five different pitchers 374 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,119 for LSU, they combined for one total walk in five pitchers. 375 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,119 That was huge for me because that was your issues 376 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,720 on Sunday, right you couldn't get outs Chase Shore's struggled then, 377 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,240 you know, you struggle on Saturday of the back half 378 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,480 of the you know, we talked about it the last 379 00:17:31,519 --> 00:17:35,039 twelve innings is what we had mentioned multiple times against Texas. 380 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,519 This team couldn't get runs across the plate, and they 381 00:17:37,519 --> 00:17:39,759 couldn't get outs when they needed a most. You did 382 00:17:39,799 --> 00:17:41,400 that last night as well, because if you look at 383 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,680 the offensive side of the thing, eleven hits, seventeen RBIs 384 00:17:45,799 --> 00:17:49,079 you found the timely hits. Jerry Jones had a grand slam, 385 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,000 Kate Aaron Beadie had a two run homer. You had 386 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,920 another homer in that game last night as well. Everything 387 00:17:54,039 --> 00:17:56,519 you wanted to see, I think you saw it, don't. 388 00:17:56,799 --> 00:17:59,039 I don't care about the competition as much because when 389 00:17:59,279 --> 00:18:01,400 i'm Jay John, I'm like, I need pitchers that can 390 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,960 get me out. I need timely hitting. You did both 391 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:04,839 those things last night. 392 00:18:05,079 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 3: Yeah. I'm sitting there and I'm kind of watching the game, 393 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,279 and it is what baseball is. It's such a game 394 00:18:11,279 --> 00:18:13,720 of failure. It's such a game of ups and downs. 395 00:18:13,839 --> 00:18:15,839 And that's always I tell my friends that have made 396 00:18:15,839 --> 00:18:18,880 it in the big leagues, like, congratulations to you. It 397 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,359 is so hard to be consistent in this game. And 398 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,519 if you get like vested in Major League Baseball, you 399 00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:27,359 got to put in ten years. That is so difficult, 400 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,440 Like we do four for the NFL. Y'all got to 401 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,640 do ten. And y'all got a game of failure where 402 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,000 you can be a dude one year and the next 403 00:18:34,039 --> 00:18:36,000 year you can just fall off the face of the earth. 404 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,880 And I was watching the game last night and Ashton 405 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,519 Larston pinched hit. He came in and with pinch hit situation, 406 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,599 I'm like, oh man, oh yeah. 407 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 4: He was a guy that we were like, you gotta 408 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:48,960 find a way to get him in the lineup. 409 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 3: Larson last year, yeah, Larson last year was like he 410 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,759 was the thing that kind of energized you a little bit. 411 00:18:54,759 --> 00:18:57,240 Remember when he went into the lineup, you were searching 412 00:18:57,319 --> 00:18:59,240 for something. He kind of gave you that, and it 413 00:18:59,319 --> 00:19:02,720 really it lasts. And he had a nice regional in 414 00:19:02,799 --> 00:19:05,640 Chapel Hill. It's like, and now he's pinch hitting on 415 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,440 a Tuesday night. 416 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: We didn't see him all weekend. Huh. 417 00:19:10,039 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 5: No, he did not all all weekend because we came 418 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,640 back after opening weekend and we were like, man, we 419 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,960 were kind of surprise that Eshan Larson didn't get the 420 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,319 opening day start at least at DH Like, yeah, been 421 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:20,720 so good in the fall, he was so good at 422 00:19:20,759 --> 00:19:22,440 the end of last year. It's kind of got lost 423 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,759 in the shuffle a little bit. I mean, yeah, Pearson, 424 00:19:24,799 --> 00:19:27,000 you got Brown, you got a number of other guys 425 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,000 kind of ahead of him right now. I mean, he 426 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,640 kind of got lost in the weeds a little bit. 427 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,240 But the good thing is we know what he can do, 428 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,519 right because he didn't really pick it up until the 429 00:19:35,559 --> 00:19:38,319 back half of last year. If you could get that again, 430 00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:40,200 that's another weapon in your lineup. 431 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, j Man, baseball is I know, I know, It's 432 00:19:44,559 --> 00:19:47,880 just it is a game of failure. You have to 433 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,440 learn how to deal with it. You have to learn 434 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,079 how to bounce back, and that's how you last. And 435 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,799 so the Tigers take care of the Cajuns seventeen of 436 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,920 four in seven innings. Now they turned their attention to 437 00:19:59,039 --> 00:20:04,000 Mississippi State. Remember this is a Thursday Friday Saturday series 438 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,519 inside the Box and that first pitch is going to 439 00:20:06,519 --> 00:20:10,000 be seven pm on Thursday night.

How many different hats are we wearing there? 481 00:22:16,599 --> 00:22:19,839 Speaker 6: It's pretty much. I was telling somebody last week I 482 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,960 went from a doing a March Madness story to teleconference 483 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,559 with mel kiper To and I was coming back from 484 00:22:28,559 --> 00:22:32,200 Ohio State spring practice. So I was literally like, okay, 485 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,559 which sport. But you know what, it's my favorite time 486 00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:36,880 of year because of that. I love the draft, I 487 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,799 love March madness, and obviously you always want to keep 488 00:22:40,839 --> 00:22:43,799 your eye on college football and what's going on with 489 00:22:43,839 --> 00:22:46,640 spring football. So it is a beautiful time year. And 490 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:47,799 the sun's up in Ohio. 491 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,599 Speaker 3: There you go. I talked to Bobby c Bobby Carpenter 492 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,119 yesterday and he was also excited that might be something 493 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,279 that happened in Ohio. So good for y'all. Good for 494 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,079 y'all that the sun is out there and hopefully no 495 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,759 more snow days up in Ohio. Look, hey, you know me, 496 00:23:03,799 --> 00:23:06,759 we're gonna go across the gambit. We're gonna talk NCAA basketball, 497 00:23:06,839 --> 00:23:08,839 We'll talk drift, we'll talk spring football, and we might 498 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,279 as well start with basketball, something you and I talked 499 00:23:11,279 --> 00:23:15,319 about yesterday. But before we get to the tournament. I 500 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,200 am still so surprised right now, because I mean you, 501 00:23:18,319 --> 00:23:21,839 right now on the Sporting News, you've got the coach Tracker, 502 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,759 where everybody's going who got fired, who's replacing them, And 503 00:23:24,759 --> 00:23:28,000 there's so many big names and we saw one last night, 504 00:23:28,079 --> 00:23:30,480 right Rich Patino is going to Xavier to now be 505 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,839 their next head coach, going from New Mexico. But Villa 506 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,839 Nova they fire Kyle Neptune and they are just they're 507 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,039 sitting there. They don't have a coach. The transfer portal 508 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,200 opened up two days ago, and I look, I know 509 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,640 the NCAA tournament is still going on. I'm sure that 510 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,440 the person they've identified as their next head coach is 511 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,000 still coaching right now. But that's kind It's a little 512 00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:52,400 bit of a dangerous game, isn't it. 513 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 6: Really? It really is, and much more dangerous than football 514 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,319 in some ways. Where football, if you missed that first 515 00:23:59,319 --> 00:24:02,559 couple of weeks December, I mean, there's still time because 516 00:24:02,599 --> 00:24:05,519 you have spring football. You can, you know, work with portal, 517 00:24:05,559 --> 00:24:09,079 you can recruit a little bit longer. I mean you 518 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,599 might have to Villanova's potentially, you never know, and I 519 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,200 have to build an entirely new roster. That's the world 520 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,559 we live in. Where As we were talking about yesterday, 521 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,680 you know, you take a team like Arkansas, John Taalafari 522 00:24:21,799 --> 00:24:26,279 has exactly one guy on his roster from last year. One. Yeah, 523 00:24:26,279 --> 00:24:28,880 and now they got six from the portal, six freshmen. 524 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,279 Brought a couple guys from Kentucky with them and they're 525 00:24:32,319 --> 00:24:34,960 on the Sweet sixteen. So yeah, it is definitely a 526 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:35,640 dangerous game. 527 00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 3: Well, the thing that is different in basketball, Bill, and 528 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,200 you kind of mentioned it there, like, so for football, 529 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,559 if I lose four guys, five guys, I'm not, you know, 530 00:24:45,799 --> 00:24:48,400 in love with that, But the rosters are huge, right, 531 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,200 so I can kind of absorb that a little bit 532 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,559 and maybe I can add some more guys I give you, Like, 533 00:24:52,599 --> 00:24:54,759 for instance, LSU a couple of days ago, they lost 534 00:24:54,799 --> 00:24:56,960 three guys. You're talking about twenty five percent of your 535 00:24:57,039 --> 00:24:59,039 roster just like in the blink of an eye is 536 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,640 gone college basketball when you lose three players, right and 537 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,400 so you lose those players. And if you're on Villanova's 538 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,960 roster right now, are anywhere I mentioned LSU and you 539 00:25:08,039 --> 00:25:10,599 lose those three guys, it's like, man, we got to 540 00:25:10,599 --> 00:25:12,279 try to find a way to replace these guys. But 541 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,200 for Villanova, they don't have a coach. So these players 542 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,519 that have already because we know how the portal works, Bill, 543 00:25:18,839 --> 00:25:21,519 these players have already been contacted, These players already have 544 00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:24,200 a pretty good idea of where they're going. And it 545 00:25:24,279 --> 00:25:27,039 just feels like you continue to get behind the eight ball, 546 00:25:27,079 --> 00:25:29,119 and I know you know that Mark Pope was a 547 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,359 little bit later last year for Kentucky, BYU obviously made 548 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,200 a move after that. But you're getting into dangerous territories 549 00:25:36,279 --> 00:25:38,200 not being able to really get the roster that you 550 00:25:38,279 --> 00:25:40,680 want day by day as it passes, and you don't 551 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:41,319 have a head coach. 552 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, and stability ism in college basketball. I saw my 553 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,960 editor Bill Troci sent me a Instagram post last night 554 00:25:52,039 --> 00:25:54,640 that showed the starting five for all the Sweet sixteen 555 00:25:54,759 --> 00:25:58,400 teams and the only one that had five guys that 556 00:25:58,559 --> 00:26:02,720 actually started their career ever was Purdue. And I'd got 557 00:26:02,759 --> 00:26:05,640 to give it to Purdue. They are known for stability, 558 00:26:05,759 --> 00:26:08,240 right they don't. I think Matt Painter has done a 559 00:26:08,319 --> 00:26:11,160 nice job there. And when you have the same coaches 560 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,200 for the kind of like the Steelers, They've only had 561 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,480 a couple of coaches my lifetime. That's really it's hard 562 00:26:17,519 --> 00:26:19,000 to come by though. But you look at some of 563 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,319 that and I'll send you that post, but it's it's 564 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,240 very interesting to see how many schools don't have a 565 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:31,640 starter started with the school. Michigan's another example. Dusty may 566 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,799 being able to a one year turnaround there. I don't 567 00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:38,240 know that Michigan. I don't know what they are. I 568 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,839 know they've played a ton of close games, but he 569 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,799 has done a phenomenal job in the turnaround and getting 570 00:26:43,839 --> 00:26:45,960 them to the Sweet sixteen in a position play. 571 00:26:45,799 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 3: Auburn this week certainly has done that bill last one 572 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,480 here in the NCAA tournament. Because I do want to 573 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,720 get some draft and football talk in with you as 574 00:26:55,799 --> 00:26:58,440 now the Sweet sixteen is set, and again you do 575 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,039 a great job covering for this warning news. Do you 576 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,440 change anything your mindset who you had maybe winning this 577 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,519 entire deal, because it's been pretty chalky like even the 578 00:27:08,599 --> 00:27:11,519 you know air quote. Cinderella is a ten seed Arkansas 579 00:27:11,559 --> 00:27:15,240 team that has coach cal on their bench, and we 580 00:27:15,279 --> 00:27:17,480 know what that roster looks like and who they brought in. 581 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,119 So anything changed for you as we sit here and 582 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,759 get ready for the Sweet sixteen tomorrow? 583 00:27:22,279 --> 00:27:25,839 Speaker 6: Not really? I think I still think Florida and do 584 00:27:26,039 --> 00:27:28,559 are the two best teams. But you know, sorting out 585 00:27:28,599 --> 00:27:31,880 those seven SEC teams, I mean, what an awesome matchup. 586 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,200 Kentucky beat Tennessee twice in Tennessee's favorite in this matchup 587 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,359 this week. I'm really excited to see that one, you know, 588 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,680 you mentioned Auburn and Michigan. That's a you know, Auburn 589 00:27:43,759 --> 00:27:47,119 heavily favored, but this Michigan team has been hot that 590 00:27:47,319 --> 00:27:49,279 I threw at you yesterday. I'll throw it out there again. 591 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,599 Tom Izzo nine to zero against the SEC in the tournament, 592 00:27:53,839 --> 00:27:55,680 and if you go back and look, it's not like 593 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,759 he'd beat good SEC teams in the tournament. So yeah, 594 00:28:00,039 --> 00:28:02,640 Michigan State's very good and I'm excited to see it. 595 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:07,000 But I still got Florida in the championship on one 596 00:28:07,039 --> 00:28:09,519 of my brackets says Florida. One of my brackets as dukes, 597 00:28:09,559 --> 00:28:10,640 so I'll be happy either way. 598 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 3: I went Florida versus Duke in the Natty as well, 599 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,000 and it pains me to say I went with the 600 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,240 Florida Gators to win the national championship, and so I 601 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,599 think what they did in the regular season. But also Bill, 602 00:28:23,799 --> 00:28:27,119 when you have a conference that sets the mark at 603 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,000 fourteen teams never been done before. I mean, you beat 604 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,880 the record by a lot, and Florida dominated the SEC 605 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,799 tournament like they did. I think that's why I'm so 606 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,640 confident that they're going to get to that point, because 607 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,039 when you have a league that's that deep and you 608 00:28:42,119 --> 00:28:45,319 dominate like they did and finish the thing. They went 609 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,839 into the tournament maybe as the hottest team. 610 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 6: And they and they've proven they can win different ways, 611 00:28:50,799 --> 00:28:53,079 like Yukon got them in a little bit of a 612 00:28:53,119 --> 00:28:55,920 slow down game at least by their standards, and they 613 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,440 were able to knock out the defending chance. Walter Clayton, 614 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,000 the football got a right. You know. We wrote a 615 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,039 story about him a couple of weeks ago. Some Division 616 00:29:04,079 --> 00:29:06,720 one offers as a safety as a sophomore, and he 617 00:29:06,839 --> 00:29:10,160 kind of plays that game like a safety and very 618 00:29:10,519 --> 00:29:14,000 physical point guard. They take Q from him. He's been 619 00:29:14,079 --> 00:29:16,839 phenomenal in the tournament. So I do like the Gators chances. 620 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 3: All right, catch up with Bill Bender of the Sporting 621 00:29:20,039 --> 00:29:23,200 News here on OTB. All right, Bill, let's get to 622 00:29:23,319 --> 00:29:27,319 a little NFL draft because today is actually LSU's pro day, 623 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:28,799 so a lot of us are going to be heading 624 00:29:28,839 --> 00:29:32,240 over there to check out Will Campbell and others. What's 625 00:29:32,279 --> 00:29:35,720 maybe the biggest storyline for you as we are. Look, 626 00:29:35,759 --> 00:29:37,799 I think we're less than a month away now from 627 00:29:37,839 --> 00:29:41,200 being in Green Bay and watching some new faces walk 628 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,200 across the stage. 629 00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:45,759 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think we're looking at the quarterbacks. I'm working 630 00:29:45,759 --> 00:29:48,279 on a feature about Sam Ward, and you know, it's 631 00:29:48,319 --> 00:29:50,400 what a path. We were just talking about the portal, 632 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,440 a guy that goes from playing it incarnate Ward. He 633 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,880 was an option quarterback in high school in Texas kind 634 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,200 of they ran the beer for those I know, you 635 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,000 know what the beer is, but they and he's just 636 00:30:05,119 --> 00:30:06,799 now he's this guy that can throw it all around 637 00:30:06,839 --> 00:30:10,400 the yard and I think he's a really interesting prospect. 638 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,000 How many guys does the Ohio State get drafted from 639 00:30:13,039 --> 00:30:17,200 that national championship team? And of course opinions vary on 640 00:30:17,319 --> 00:30:22,240 Travis Cunter. I don't know what position he's going to play. 641 00:30:22,319 --> 00:30:24,400 I don't know that he can play both ways. I 642 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,359 think he's going to be a really solid pro. It's 643 00:30:27,519 --> 00:30:30,680 just okay, do you really what are you drafting him 644 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,119 to play? I think all the questions around Travis will 645 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,759 be very interesting. Yeah. 646 00:30:34,839 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 3: And then you know a team that's close to where 647 00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:39,839 you live, I mean the Cleveland Browns. They feel like 648 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,200 depending on which way they go is how the first five, six, seven, 649 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,359 eight picks could turn out, because if they don't go quarterback, 650 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,079 that kind of changes it. But then you look at 651 00:30:49,119 --> 00:30:52,519 the Giants, who sit there at three. They signed James 652 00:30:52,519 --> 00:30:55,160 Winston to a two year contract. They signed Russell Wilson 653 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,119 to a one year contract, So they've got two veteran quarterbacks. 654 00:30:58,119 --> 00:31:00,559 So is that point that them not going quarterback? 655 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,799 Speaker 6: You know? And who takes that dual carter? So if 656 00:31:03,839 --> 00:31:07,119 the Browns take Shador, which I still think is at play, 657 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,079 then I mean, as you know, I live up here, 658 00:31:12,119 --> 00:31:15,640 so I've seen Cleveland do it every way wrong. At 659 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,200 some point they got to get it right, you know, 660 00:31:18,359 --> 00:31:20,559 So and either way we'll say they got it wrong. 661 00:31:20,759 --> 00:31:22,839 If they take that dual carter, we'll say they should 662 00:31:22,839 --> 00:31:25,759 have taken a quarterback. If they take Shador, we'll say 663 00:31:26,079 --> 00:31:28,480 why did they take Shador? So that's just how we 664 00:31:28,519 --> 00:31:32,359 do it up here. Very interesting about the Giants that 665 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,720 news yesterday. So they have Rust and they have Gamus, 666 00:31:34,759 --> 00:31:37,279 so that I don't know that they'll go quarterback at 667 00:31:37,359 --> 00:31:40,039 least for a year, especially if they don't like Shador. 668 00:31:40,359 --> 00:31:44,799 So other than cam Ward at one, it could be 669 00:31:44,839 --> 00:31:47,000 interesting out the top five, you know. And since you're 670 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,039 a running back, I think you'll appreciate this. I'm really 671 00:31:50,079 --> 00:31:53,359 curious to see who takes ashion Gente. I think Amarion 672 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,079 Hampton's the first round running back, and then Cam Skataboo, 673 00:31:57,359 --> 00:32:00,640 you know, maybe not a first round pick, but who 674 00:32:00,759 --> 00:32:03,839 takes him, you know, his unique skill set after the 675 00:32:04,119 --> 00:32:05,319 Great bullseason he had. 676 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're actually talking about Cam Skataboo earlier in the 677 00:32:08,799 --> 00:32:11,680 show because there's not a time on him yet. Right. 678 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,759 He didn't run the forty at the Combine, and so 679 00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:17,119 we'll see if he gets that done at Arizona States 680 00:32:17,119 --> 00:32:18,960 Pro Day. I think a lot of teams are wanting 681 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,359 to know what he's going to run. He doesn't have to, look, 682 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:23,759 he didn't have to run a four to four and 683 00:32:23,759 --> 00:32:25,920 not with his running style, but I think that's something 684 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,640 that teams want to see. I'm glad you mentioned the 685 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,359 running back position though, I mean ashing genty somebody like obviously, 686 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,680 you know we're on here in New Orleans to talk 687 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,839 a lot of New Orleans Saints. That's a team that 688 00:32:37,359 --> 00:32:39,400 has been kind of tied to him. I don't think 689 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,559 there's any way Bill that he gets outside the top ten. 690 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,920 I think when you look at the Raiders, they're going 691 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,720 to take a long, hard look at him. I think 692 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,359 the Saints, as I mentioned there, you know, does Dallas 693 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,599 want to make a move to add to their running game. 694 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,319 I don't think that he's going to fall out of 695 00:32:53,359 --> 00:32:55,920 the top ten picks, which for a running back, now 696 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,519 that's news, like that is not the norm. Like when 697 00:32:58,519 --> 00:33:00,559 you go top ten as a running back, they expect 698 00:33:00,599 --> 00:33:02,920 you to not only be a starter, but to be 699 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,640 one of the better backs in the league immediately. 700 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,759 Speaker 6: Well yeah, that and not only that, but so I 701 00:33:08,799 --> 00:33:11,519 asked no Kuiper this on a teleconference last week. I said, 702 00:33:12,839 --> 00:33:15,480 you know, did say Kuan and Derrick Henry? Did they 703 00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:17,599 change the way that running backs are gonna get drafted? 704 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,799 Get a great point, though, he said no, because those 705 00:33:20,839 --> 00:33:23,599 guys were kind of the missing piece. Skuon was the 706 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,200 missing piece that Piperable were on and you know, Derrick Henry. 707 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,440 I would even argue, as you know, big big Green 708 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,759 Bay fan Josh Jacobs kind of changed Green Bay a 709 00:33:31,799 --> 00:33:34,240 little bit the way that they run their offense. So 710 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,400 now with a rookie might be different. Ashton gent though, uh, 711 00:33:39,279 --> 00:33:41,319 I mean everything was special this year and I think 712 00:33:41,359 --> 00:33:43,759 he's going to do that. I think Amari and Hampton 713 00:33:44,039 --> 00:33:46,759 is a guy I'm looking at two straight years fifteen 714 00:33:46,839 --> 00:33:49,480 hundred yards in the ACC had a decent but not 715 00:33:49,599 --> 00:33:50,759 great offensive line. 716 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:51,119 Speaker 3: Yeah. 717 00:33:51,319 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 6: And you know, from the people I talked to that 718 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,559 are around that program, quiet like just an old ball 719 00:33:57,599 --> 00:34:00,759 guy that you know not maybe not they say, you know, 720 00:34:00,759 --> 00:34:03,240 maybe not the greatest interview to the media because he's not. 721 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,079 But that doesn't ever botherish. I mean, that's the guy 722 00:34:06,119 --> 00:34:07,720 that you know. I kind of like it when my 723 00:34:07,839 --> 00:34:08,679 running backs like that. 724 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know EJ and I doing off campus every 725 00:34:12,679 --> 00:34:14,920 single day. He can't talk enough about him, and so 726 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,599 I'm right there with you. I think he's certainly your 727 00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:19,599 first round running back as well. One more draft question, 728 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,679 because I do want to ask you something about LSU 729 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,119 before we get out of here. Is Jackson Dart going 730 00:34:25,119 --> 00:34:27,880 to be a first round pick at the quarterback position. 731 00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:31,559 Speaker 6: I think somebody will pop themselves into him because inevitably 732 00:34:31,599 --> 00:34:35,639 you'll see that next quarterback. I like col mcquarter a lot, 733 00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:38,639 which is you know, I think the year that he 734 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,920 had at Syracuse was great and the experience he did 735 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,800 well with the combine. But I think Jackson Dart there 736 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,800 are some you know, we saw him make some ridiculous 737 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,320 throws at Old Mets, and I think an NFL team 738 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,360 could latch onto that. Maybe somebody later in the first 739 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,639 round that maybe not necessarily looking for a guy to 740 00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:58,639 start right away, could take a bite out of him. 741 00:34:59,039 --> 00:35:05,239 I thought that would be drafted him and pretend they 742 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,639 you know, Withustin Fields, I don't know, but you could 743 00:35:07,639 --> 00:35:09,440 always draft a backup plan right away. 744 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, he is. He's one of those names that as 745 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,039 we get closer and closer, does feel like he is 746 00:35:16,079 --> 00:35:18,880 going to find himself to be a first round pick. 747 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,960 All right, Bill, last one before we let you go. 748 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,159 LSU Tigers right now in spring practice, we know they 749 00:35:25,199 --> 00:35:28,039 open up in Little Death Valley with the Clemson Tigers. 750 00:35:28,079 --> 00:35:31,920 So Marquee matchup week number one yet again, what are 751 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,599 your expectations for this LSU football team bloom or bus. 752 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,599 Speaker 6: Team kind of you know, coming off last year. I 753 00:35:37,599 --> 00:35:40,360 think Alabama and them projects very similar. 754 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:40,679 Speaker 3: You know. 755 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 6: The good news for LSU quarterbacks coming back. Everybody knows 756 00:35:43,519 --> 00:35:47,800 that Jarcknussmer schedule's tough, but with the talents that they 757 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,800 brought in from the transfer portal and they were more 758 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,960 active than usual, at least I think they were. They 759 00:35:52,039 --> 00:35:55,320 definitely brought in a bunch of guys and uh, a 760 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,960 big year for Brian Kelly. You I think, Jacob, you 761 00:35:59,079 --> 00:36:01,320 need to sit down and schedule their opener though, you 762 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:06,000 guys got to stop with the Marqueel the huge opener 763 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,239 it'll win to start. I mean, that is a I'll 764 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,760 have my eyes on it. That's myer club mix at Clemson. 765 00:36:13,519 --> 00:36:15,320 What a way to start the season that'll be if 766 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,360 they win that one. Certainly a lot of momentum and 767 00:36:18,559 --> 00:36:20,199 a great tip to have in your back pocket in 768 00:36:20,199 --> 00:36:20,639 a playoff. 769 00:36:20,679 --> 00:36:23,159 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, there's Look, you're not the only one in 770 00:36:23,199 --> 00:36:26,159 that mindset. Maybe a directional school you game to start 771 00:36:26,199 --> 00:36:28,280 this season. Like I'm a meadhead, Bill, So you know 772 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,960 I love the Marquee matchups. But trust me when I 773 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,679 say you're not the only one that has certainly brought that. Bill, 774 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,360 You're the man.

All right, Welcome back in OTV, big voice, lady. 806 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,559 I swear if I ever meet you, we're gonna have 807 00:38:05,559 --> 00:38:08,719 a talking like the way you say seventh, like it's 808 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,440 disappointing me. Morning shows there are across this country. There's 809 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,840 a lot, a lot probably. Let's see, I would I 810 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,800 would guess one, two, three, four, five, I would guess 811 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,639 at least six seven in this state alone, a right, 812 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,920 Shreveport's got one. I know my brother's on it. Monroe, 813 00:38:28,599 --> 00:38:33,079 Alexandria has us so I didn't count Lake Charles, Lafayette. 814 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:34,639 Does New Orleans have a morning show? 815 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:36,559 Speaker 4: Is a sports thing? 816 00:38:36,639 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 3: That's true, that's sad. I'm sure the values got one. Yeah, 817 00:38:41,679 --> 00:38:43,880 that that whole deal. We got to find a way 818 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,679 to get back. We gotta find a way to get back, 819 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,440 because what are we doing now? It's way above mine. 820 00:38:50,199 --> 00:38:53,119 All right, Welcome back in. As I said, LSU baseball 821 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,559 not the only team to take down the raging Cajuns. 822 00:38:56,599 --> 00:39:00,679 Softball did it as well. They go over to Lafayette 823 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,079 and they win eleven to four. They continue to roll. 824 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,400 We you know, talked about it. They go on the road, 825 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,400 they take two of three from number thirteen Georgia. That's 826 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,920 what you want to do in the SEC on the road, 827 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,599 and now they get to come back home to Tiger 828 00:39:14,639 --> 00:39:18,480 Park to take on number ten South Carolina. Because it's 829 00:39:18,519 --> 00:39:21,480 an SEC softball series, so of course the team that 830 00:39:21,519 --> 00:39:24,360 you play is going to have a number next to 831 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,719 their name. They're going to be a ranked opponent. So 832 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,800 another opportunity for Beth Terina and the squad to continue 833 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,920 to improve. They're number three in the country. I mean 834 00:39:34,199 --> 00:39:37,760 they and I know we've said it and they've been good. 835 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,679 I mean this is this is a program that has 836 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:43,039 been good, but this one still feels different. And there 837 00:39:43,079 --> 00:39:44,559 was like people that are upset, oh they lost on 838 00:39:44,559 --> 00:39:47,960 the weekend. When you go on the road to number 839 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:53,559 thirteen and you take two of three, that's that's your objective, right, 840 00:39:53,679 --> 00:39:57,239 It's sweeps and SEC baseball and softball. If you get 841 00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,440 one man those are land yap two of three certainly 842 00:40:00,519 --> 00:40:02,559 on the road, that's what they did well. 843 00:40:02,599 --> 00:40:05,119 Speaker 5: Also, like they got run ruled in the last game 844 00:40:05,159 --> 00:40:07,880 of that series. Sidney Burzon was on the mound and 845 00:40:08,079 --> 00:40:11,400 just did not have it. Sydney Burzon always has it. 846 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,039 That's not going to happen weekend and week out. She's 847 00:40:15,119 --> 00:40:17,679 going to be fine. There you have Jaden Heavner. This 848 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,360 team hits one through nine, which is very rare for 849 00:40:21,519 --> 00:40:25,159 any college team, but especially softball. Like, this team doesn't 850 00:40:25,199 --> 00:40:27,119 really have a weakness. Like if you ask me right now, 851 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:28,960 what's the weakness of this team, I don't know if 852 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,199 I can give you one. Because even replacing a player 853 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,280 like Taylor Pleasant, who was your shortstop for that seemed 854 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,400 like five years and was a stalwart defensively, they brought 855 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,320 in Avery Hodge from the transfer portal. She's been excellent 856 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,719 at shortstops, I mean just every single position. Having Danica Coffee, 857 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:50,360 who let's not forget unless she was undefeated, undefeated, dominating people, 858 00:40:50,599 --> 00:40:53,199 Danica Coffee goes down, they really struggled. They had to 859 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,639 do two or three freshmen at third base. She was 860 00:40:55,679 --> 00:40:59,360 also your leadoff hitter. Having her back, I mean that's huge. 861 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,159 If this team gets stay healthy. You didn't go as 862 00:41:01,159 --> 00:41:01,960 far as they want to. 863 00:41:02,679 --> 00:41:05,159 Speaker 3: Yep, right there with you. And again that is South Carolina. 864 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,239 That is Friday, that's at Tiger Park in first pitch 865 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,760 is going to be at five pm. And again great 866 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,079 opponent LSU number three, in the country going against number ten, 867 00:41:15,199 --> 00:41:19,360 So go out there and win the series. Something else 868 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,159 that came across the wire a little bit later last night, 869 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,599 and well, if you're a team looking for a receiver, 870 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,159 there's one more off the board. Stefan Diggs agrees to 871 00:41:30,199 --> 00:41:34,480 a three year, sixty nine million dollar deal with the Patriots. Tate, 872 00:41:34,559 --> 00:41:36,559 I hope I didn't steal your NFL story of the 873 00:41:36,639 --> 00:41:39,440 day day I saw this because well, I mean, if 874 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,679 you want to know, so the Saints signed bringing a Cook, 875 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,000 and I'm going to tie it back to the Saints. Well, 876 00:41:44,119 --> 00:41:46,719 if you wanted a guy like Digs, it was going 877 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,280 to cost you more than the two years. What thirteen 878 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:53,480 million dollars Brandon Cook signed for three years? Sixty nine 879 00:41:53,519 --> 00:41:56,079 million dollars seems like a lot of money. I mean 880 00:41:56,119 --> 00:42:00,440 we're talking thirty what was a final guarantee number. I 881 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:01,800 had to go back twenty six million. I thought it 882 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,400 was thirty six twenty six men. Still, even at that number, 883 00:42:04,639 --> 00:42:07,440 that's a big number for a receiver that Tete. He's 884 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,000 he's been on the other side of it for a 885 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:09,639 couple of years. 886 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,039 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean he was hurt what seventy percent 887 00:42:13,079 --> 00:42:16,159 of the season last year he barely played. If you're 888 00:42:16,159 --> 00:42:19,119 the Patriots, though, first off, you waited too long in 889 00:42:19,199 --> 00:42:22,079 free agency. You had to get some sort of receiver. 890 00:42:22,199 --> 00:42:24,920 I mean what Kendrick Bourne's been their number one receiver 891 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,519 for the past like two years or so. As good 892 00:42:27,519 --> 00:42:31,679 as Drake May looked at times last year, maybe they're thinking, hey, 893 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:33,519 we can bring in a veteran and he could still 894 00:42:33,519 --> 00:42:35,960 give us a little something. It's at least a number 895 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,519 one option for Drake May. I mean, that's a lot 896 00:42:38,519 --> 00:42:40,599 of money to pay for a receiver.
