Speaker 1: Yo, welcome in O TV.
Speaker 2: Here on this Friday morning, one O four five ESPN
Baton Rouge.
Speaker 1: Don't worry.
Speaker 2: T Bob is here a little slow moving on a Friday.
He's got the hair slick back, looking just incredible. Alandra
Tate here as well. Now you really look like the
Batman or sorry, Superman villain zod.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my bad, guys, my bad. I was listening to
Sabrina Carpenter Show It's fine, just zoning out, and then
I heard Taylor's voice and I got a little annoyed
until I realized what time was. So, what's up, y'all?
How's everybody doing today? What's up? JK doing good? March Man,
it's about to start up. How we feeling? Give us
a preview hour two. I am breaking it all down.
It is, as you know, one of my favorite times
of the year. We've got conference tournaments going on. A
lot of the not majors have already. You got their
automatic bids in. You'll have some more tonight.
Speaker 2: But now the big boys are fully into the swing
of their conference tournaments as well.
Speaker 1: Uh a Lander, what's up girl? How you doing today?
Get off your phone. I'm just kidding with that.
Speaker 3: How you doing, Yes, sir, been great. I worked out
this morning, so I feel okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too, Let's go.
Speaker 3: I'm excited that it's Friday, Ready for the weekend, Ready
for SEC play to start. I was talking to my
guy John Davis this morning at the block in. We
were talking about how we're just so excited for SEC
play to be here.
Speaker 1: Uh, Taylor, did you work out yet this morning?
Speaker 4: I know I do it in the afternoons. I went disappointment.
What are you gonna do? Man?
Speaker 1: What's up? How do you feel today?
Speaker 5: I'm feeling good. Yeah, pet arrested because I didn't go
work out this morning. Like I said, I did it
yesterday evening.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 4: I feel Friday.
Speaker 1: You're looking forward to family dinnernight.
Speaker 5: You keep telling me we are having a family dinner tonight.
I had not been informed of this.
Speaker 1: I know your mom wanted me to remind you. Oh
that's what I'm saying. I tell you that you have
family dinner.
Speaker 4: This is this is the first time hearing of it.
So thank you, Taylor.
Speaker 1: I love thinking of the opening jab slash nag that
I'm gonna hit Taylor with every morning as I'm walking
up the stairs and my legs are burning and that
was today's that was today's rendition. You definitely had no
idea I was about to say that. When I started talking, though,
you thought I was gonna say something serious, didn't.
Speaker 4: You semi serious? You know how serious do I take you?
I don't know.
Speaker 1: They were actually gonna talk about your cowboys a little
bit this morning.
Speaker 4: I know what you're going to talk about.
Speaker 5: I saw it yesterday once again, second time this week
also negative.
Speaker 1: I don't think I saw a Cooper Cup story this morning.
Miles Sanders having overnight Coop and uh, I don't know.
We'll get into the the Lawrence Parsons beef. It's an
interesting beef because I entered on one side and exited
on the other. But I don't want to lead with
that because we've got a massive weekend coming up here
in Baton Rouge. You got LSU Kentucky and Tiger Park
ranked on ranked top five team Kentucky coming out. I
think at twenty two right now, that's gonna be fantastic.
Can you check? You see the softball game got bumped
up as well. I know baseball Okay, yeah, so three
thirty four to thirty so both games starting at four
to thirty now, So whether you are a baseball or
softball enjoyer, whatever varietal of the diamond that you want,
both games have been bumped up to four thirty due
to inclement weather. So if you're planning to go, spread
the word to anybody else who you know who is
planning to go, so nobody shows up and the game's over.
How many games this year have been moved up because
of I'm softball and baseball? Yeah, I mean, it feels
like you always have.
Speaker 2: A bunch here in South Louisiana, but I feel like
this year that number feels like it's doubled.
Speaker 1: It's because winners just, you know, desperately trying to scratching
claw and hang on. It seems like it's losing the
battle at this point. But yeah, it does feel like
it's happened a lot this year. You got baseball opening up,
SEC play in the box this weekend. Although they're not
in baton Rouge. LSU Gymnastics their final meet of the
season heading over to Auburn. Of course, uh the LSU
women waiting to see where their fate will lie after
a weekend full of college basketball come Sunday again, it
is a it's just a really great sports time on
the calendar, and it's going it's going to be a
really great weekend. I think this is what I want
to do. I think here I want to touch on
some of the Saints free agency moves real quick, and
then coming up next we'll do a little Maszoo preview
because I know you all want to call me t
mush and whatnot. But see if you still think I'm
out of pocket for saying that this is a big
sweep weekend after we look at the numbers that Massoo
has put up to this point.
Speaker 6: But first let's go ahead and get this show started.
Were the shortest waiting peter in the industry, Tiger Labor
and Staff. He makes it easy to transfer top talent
on your payroll quickly. And remember, we truly bet our
employees build relationships with them rather than just looking at
the job history on paper. We get to know every
potential employe during the in person onboarding process and over
a morning cup of coffee. With the shortest hiring terms
in the industry in sixty days, there's nobody better, okay,
and we understand the quality of employees you have, and
we want your business to succeed some any any staffing
issues that you have, you want tiger labor and staff
in the local guys real quick before you getting the
Saints guys. I know people try to act like this
as every day, but yesterday.
Speaker 1: What an awful day for traffic in the capital city.
That was a rough boy. I mean, I'm not gonna lie.
It was pretty wild.
Speaker 7: Dude, everywhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yesterday was objectively worse than usual and in
a weird way. I don't know. Was it like an accident,
Like it started about five am and it did not
quit every time. And then and then you know, I'm
driving home, I drive back up here. Campus was bad yesterday, Yeah,
everything was bad. I drive back up here at like four,
I drive back after at like six, and even then
there was it was a wild day. Because I don't
have afternoon shows this week because of conference. That's such
a chipper moon.
Speaker 2: You were you were about three or four cars ahead
of us in carpool, so you you know, you went
through the same traffic that we I'm like, what is this?
I don't know, Katie's like Tuesdays and Thursdays is kind
of you know a little what it is?
Speaker 1: It was a weird day. It was a weird day.
So here's the hobe that sitting there, like y'all do
this every day. I see you equizzically shaking your head there,
ty Ted.
Speaker 4: I mean you guys know that I love to sit
in traffic. I told you this.
Speaker 5: Yesterday morning, like every station I went to was completely
shut down.
Speaker 4: It was what the hell was going on?
Speaker 1: There were smelling a lot of gas on the Interstate
as well yesterday.
Speaker 5: What I thought was it took me an hour to
get to work yesterday morning. I don't really leave the
house around five thirty. I got here at six twenty
five yesterday. Yeah, that's crazy on the Interstate airline because
it was dead stopped, went Goodwood, Jefferson government all that.
Speaker 4: It was an awful feeling.
Speaker 5: Like the Mississippi River Bridge, I know, is the only
place in America where cars just randomly stall out on
the top of it.
Speaker 1: It's just is that what happened?
Speaker 5: Because thunder like there's a vehicle stall walk right light?
Speaker 4: How does that happen? What happens on that bridge?
Speaker 1: It's a lot of cars. I guess, man, it's crazy
because it's like, uh a, it would actually be pretty
fascinating if somebody did, like a science graphic or some
sort of breakdown of how it happens, because it does
feel like something happened early in the morning that caused
a chain reaction that did not abate until late night.
But I'm gonna I'm gonna finish this with a bit
of a positive. I think they're doing great work in
the Interstate. I think it's coming along quite well, and
I think when it's done, it's gonna be awesome. I
don't know when it's gonna be done. I feel like
it's getting pretty soon, right, the ten twelve mergers all
of a sudden, now flip flipped the dude and whatnot,
Like it could be pretty cool once they once once
this thing's opened up.
Speaker 7: A little quicker than I thought it was going.
Speaker 1: Right, that's what I'm trying to be positive.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but I didn't. I didn't notice this traffic yesterday
at all.
Speaker 1: Oh that's crazy.
Speaker 7: But it was a while I left.
Speaker 3: Here, I went home, and then I didn't leave again,
so maybe that's why. But like, yeah, I'm confused though,
and it's perfect.
Speaker 2: What are they doing with the Interstate? I told you
get on the interstate Unless I absolutely have to fly over,
right we get in one of the I wants to
fly over like a path over.
Speaker 4: Going over to the Interstate, like yeah, Interlo.
Speaker 7: I guess, I mean, I guess there's different names for
all of it. But like you know, this bridge is
basically in the air.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: All I know is I think it looks like it's
gould be really wide. Here we do that have a
thick boy Interstate? Uh here ben RUSI and I'm excited
for it. Maybe it'll help out. Who knows.
Speaker 5: Get down to two lanes on the bridge.
Speaker 7: It's gonna bottleneck at the end anyway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the piku exeit that could be a cipher bottle.
Speaker 4: Same skinny neck on the bridge.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess, I guess. So I don't know. We'll see,
we'll see. I'm gonna I'm gonna remain positive. I'm gonna
remain positive.
Speaker 7: Beneficency.
Speaker 2: Uh, I don't ever have to hear on the Interstate,
so I don't.
Speaker 1: I mean, I live on it. But whatever, No, no, no,
I'm not gonna let you tear me down. Okay. It
is impressive in how they're building it, and it's pretty
amazing to see these things built. Uh in real time.
It's it's a project that boggles the mind. And guys,
I think you're doing a great job if you're out
there listening and you're working and grinding your ass off,
keep doing it, all right, Saints Free Agency. Uh, did
y'all see so you know how the Jennifer Hudson Show
keeps going virals for their little intros that they do. Yeah,
did y'all see the Brenda song intro yesterday? Yes? Yeah,
she looked great. She looked great. I mean that's kind
of the point of this, because she looked very good,
and the Internet took notice. And it combined on a
day in which the Los Angeles Sparks said that they
were holding male practice player tryouts with a picture of
Cameron Brink and the rest of them all looking very attractive,
and Will Clap got signed to the New Orleans Saints.
And so not only do we welcome a former OTB
intern LSU Tiger and New Orleans Saint back into the
fold and Will Clap, but it was a huge day
for the resurgence of Will Clap means, only this time
it was him in a Saints uniform instead of Chargers uniform.
So shout out to Willie. Very happy to have it back.
Also very tickled to see him back in action being
memed on the internet. Anytime his name comes up, it
is going to happen. It's it's just inevitable. It's like Thanos.
As far as the actual football impact goes, I think
this is really solid for the normal state. This is
a very solid depth piece. It's a one year deal.
I guess there's no guarantee he makes the team or not.
But this is a guy who left here, went to
Los Angeles with the Chargers. He was with the Bills
last season. Since he's been gone, he's added another thirty
two games of experience under his belt. He has started right, left, center,
jumbo tight end like he is that versatile piece that
can do it all. And this is a Saint's offensive
line that needs all of the depth they can get
and getting an experienced veteran like this is huge. And
what a career for klatt Man. Yeah, I mean seventh
round pick. How many years is this for will He
was in the eighteen draft. Damn is our guy gonna
make a decade? I mean he's closing and almost making
a decade. That's insane. Shout out to Will Clepp.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this will be year eight for him, and
when you look at what the Saints have, he's the
backup center. Yeah, I mean he's the guy because you
had some of your other backups wing kind of interior guys,
they were free agents and the Saints don't bring them back.
Speaker 1: So he's the guy. So I fully expect him to
make the team.
Speaker 2: And then, like you said, he's gonna be that backup center,
but he's also going to back up both guard positions.
And look, he's been a solid player. He was solid
in Los Angeles. Didn't get a chance, you know, see
him much in Buffalo a year ago. But he's somebody
that knows your building, knows your organization. He's from down
the road, like all those things that we already know,
but also like he is a very capable pro that
you're gonna get on the cheap for a year.
Speaker 1: Can I get a LSU Tiger count on the team now?
Clyde Tyron will whom I'm missing, Davon gotcha? Yeah, Foster
Moreau five, I mean, guys, what Sean Payton, don't let
the door hit you on the way out. I hate
that it coincides with maybe some of you know, the
Saints not being that good. I don't know, maybe they'll
be good probably, but still a lot of tigers back
in the fold. You love to see it.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: A move that is probably more impactful and that he
could be a potential starter for you is Isaac Eatam
coming back on a three year deal. This was a
cat that was a a I would say a was
he He's a UDFA, right yep, Uh, yeah, started his career.
Let's see what year with that, but he started here
Saint Springham is a UDFA. He ends up becoming like
good and and actually plays and when he played, he
played well well enough that the Niners decided to sign
him away from the New Orleans Saints. Unfortunately, the had
very good corners the last couple of years. He kind
of got buried on the depth chart. And now he's
back with the Saints. Three years, nine million dollar deal,
four point eight guaranteed, and when you look at it,
a pretty good chance that he could be your starting
outside corner, which I don't know if that's ideal, but
you maybe a Lante Taylor there back in the slot.
Hit him and kool Aid McKinstry on the outside. Either way,
a couple of nice addition, do you know, nothing groundbreaking,
nothing spectacular, But I think with the signings of clapping
you at him, you got a bit better yesterday at
a very reasonable price.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was with a handful of teams before New Orleans,
but he was Yeah, I always thought he was a
New Orleans guy signed with Denver, he got traded for
by you know, the New York Giants traded and grabbed
him from Denver, and then he got traded of alief
to Green Bay. So not very often does somebody get
traded that often. But to your point, really got his
career started until he got two New Orleans.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah. I just always assumed that he was either
way a guy who was overachieved and made himself into
a legitimate NFL player.
Speaker 2: And you get him For me, I think he's slotted, yeah,
I mean he's slotted to be a starting corner on
this team.
Speaker 1: And then it allows you to move a.
Speaker 2: Lante Taylor back inside the Nickels, So it does kind
of free up some things. And there's I understand this
criticism of a Lante Taylor, I completely understand that, but
there is some good there and I think the best
version of him is when he's inside at the nickel position.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, I would, I would. I would
definitely agree with that, and so in an effort to
get him in a more natural position, to try to
maximize what you could do. And another look, another addition
for Brandon Staley who continues to get invested in by
Kellen Moore. Here, a lot of y'all are wondering about
the slickback here. It'll come to life during the show.
Just got out the shower. Oh that's what that's what
that is. It'll it'll, it'll slowly but surely return to
its normal setting over the next three hours, which I
think we're gonna have a very fun three hours day.
I'm very excited for the weekend. It's gonna be a
great weekend, guys, Saint Patty's Day, weather be damned. Let's
have a good weekend and let's have a good SEC
Baseball series, which will start to break down next as
we preview dems T case. Keep it alt off the bench.
So every day I tell you about Tommy's windows, doors
and siding, and I love Tommy's U g e Aux,
Tommy's dot commas the website. If you and hardy planker,
vinyl siding, winter vinal windows. You want any type of door,
you want to go to Tommy's. Jake tell you more
about that in a second, But I also want to
remind you about Go Bearded. Okay, it was. It was
a company started by Tommy. If you've ever met Tommy,
had him out to your home, you know what a
great process it is working with Then you also saw
he has an incredible beard, and when he started getting injured,
he said, you know what this is not any products
really matched my needs. So in classic entrepreneurial fashion, what
do you do? He said, you know what, I'm doing
it myself and so he started his own company and
so I actually used the Beard products for they're absolutely wonderful.
If you want to bring your beard to the next level,
live an unbound life, you gotta go beard to dot com,
geaux beard dot com, or again Jake Windows.
Speaker 2: Doors, anxiety and go to go Tommy dot com. And look,
that is going to be a situation where you'll see
a ton of work that they've already done. But we
encourage you every single day. Know that they can customize
your job as well. Check them out. Go Tommy dot com.
Speaker 1: How quickly will this segment leave the rails? It's off
the bench with Hester and T Bob turn it up.
Don't turn this down because this is the theme today. Baby,
It's Naratana Friday.
Speaker 4: Baby.
Speaker 7: Can I be clear that this was a T Bob request?
Speaker 1: Yes, and not me? So I discovered this band on
Instagram that just does I guess d'artagna remixes of a
lot of classic songs and I just love them, and
the algorithm keeps serving up to me. So I demanded
that Elandra give us a full Nartane Friday.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 1: Listen to this.
Speaker 7: It's a short. I couldn't find the full version of it.
I was looking.
Speaker 1: You can only find the Instagram version.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so it just keeps restarting.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 7: I found full versions of other ones, but not this one.
Speaker 1: Okay, Dan says, I kind of love it. You have.
You're gonna love it more and more as it goes on.
Trust me, it's so good. It's so good. Speaking of
so good, is LSU baseball team pretty damn good, i'd say,
Red says Elitis that's funny. But the LGI baseball team
pretty damn good. This Missouri baseball team not so much. Man.
So let's do this. Let's look at and then some
we're gonna do every week here in the SEC, and
we'll get more and it'll it'll, i think, be more
more accurate. Season goes on in conference sets start to develop.
But let's look at where they rank up to this point.
What have they done in their first sixteen games?
Speaker 4: Eight naight?
Speaker 1: Or did they win their midweek this week? Okay, so
they're still eight and eight coming into the series. It's
not good, guys. We're gonna start with the best. This
is the thing that they are best at. They're eleventh
in the SEC with a three to ZHO one batting average. Now,
lest you think that's good, they cannot get guys home.
So they're eleventh in the SEC of three to ZHO
one batting average, they're fourteenth and slugging fourteenth and on
base percentage, they're tied for last in runs scored, they're
thirteenth in home runs, and they're dead last, having already
struck out one hundred and forty two times. From some perspective,
Lshu's first in team batting average three forty six. Let's
go and ls Whu's third, and K's they've only Struck
got one hundred and six times. So you're talking about
Miszoo already striking out nearly thirty percent more than you
and bad. Bad matchup for Miszoo because who currently leads
the SEC in strikeouts? You're LSU Tigers, so offensively not
a bad team, bad and average a bit inflated, but
they're not doing anything with it. Guys are not getting
home again last in run score.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 1: But again that's the positive. Here's the bad, the really bad.
They are sixteenth in tm ERA and it's not even
particularly close. No one else is a tm ERA or
I think it's almost two full runs. Yes, no one
else is a team or era over five. No.
Speaker 2: Georgia is fifteenth in the SEC, and there are four
to three seven e r A.
Speaker 1: West Johnson, bad pitching coach. People are talking it's crazy
how Wes can get incredible hitting.
Speaker 2: But like in fourteen, Auburn is a three point seventy four,
so Georgia is kind of so yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, George is also really so it's like yeah, so
they're nearly basically three runs worse than the entirety of league.
There's six two to ohero team Era LSU Curly six
at a three oh six. Uh, it's like a grouping
there at the top. So so, And here's where it
gets funny. When you do the PDF SEC Conference statistics,
they have not yet updated the PDF to handle sixteen teams,
so it only shows you the top fifteen. So, like,
I can't tell you what the opponent batting average is
because missoo literally isn't even listed because it only goes
to fifteen. It's two ninety four. There you go, So
opponents are nearly hitting three hundred, dead last in opponent
batting average, nearly hitting three hundred, and you're going against
the team with the best batting average in the SEC
right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and back to T's point about how bad it is,
I believe two thirty three is what alreyn gives up.
And that's fifteenth in the conference, right and two ninety
four for Missouri right now is obviously sixteenth in conference.
And yeah, LSU does lead the SEC in batting average.
Speaker 1: They are fourteenth in batters struck out of course, elis
Hu's first. As I said, And you're like, okay, so
they're not the great of the plate, they're not the
good in the mound. Surely you can do one thing good. Right, well,
let's go to defense again, dead last sixteenth in fielding
percentage nine sixty two e league leading twenty two errors already,
you guys see what I'm saying here. Okay, And they
haven't played anybody. That's another great point. They have not.
It's not like it's been a gauntlet of all these
big they challenge themselves more than other teams did. And
just like that's why. No, they played the same bad
out of conference schedule that everybody else did, and yet
they're five hundred and ranked last and everything. They're not good.
They're not good, and you're supposed to be the number
one team in the country, number two team, whatever you
want to say.
Speaker 2: Right, we kind of were laying it out how to
do those co it We laid it out the other day.
Like you lose to Penn State, you get just blanked
ten to nothing. You lose to Yukon, you lose the Stets,
and you lose to UC have to start your season,
you struggle with Florida A and N. Then you get
housed by Alabama State and you come back. You do
have a big win fifteen to three over Southern. Then
you beat Lyndon Wood. Remember we talked about that. Then
you lose two, yeah, two out of four against Evansville.
Binghamton was the same thing. You lost two of four
to them as well. So again, guys, this is not
a good Missoo Tiger team.
Speaker 1: Now, I know, the SEC always has a way of
getting crazy, and baseball itself gets crazy, And of course
the overall goal is to just take two of three. Absolutely,
because let's be clear, you also would agree, even if
you want to call me a mush, you also would
agree that after everything I just told you, if you
were to lose this series, that would be a disaster
like that, that would be a disastrous disappointment.
Speaker 5: Think about how slow you started a year ago, mat
when you were you were so behind the ball. You
were great at the end of the year. But I mean,
the reason you weren't a w side for these spots
is because would you start two and six.
Speaker 1: And started three? I was always break it down last
year in the halves, right, didn't you start? Was it
five and ten or three and twelve? It was?
Speaker 4: It was, I mean it was it was in that area.
Speaker 1: And then you finished ten and five twelve For some reason,
feels right now I think it was three and twelve.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it was. It was bad.
Speaker 1: And then you finished ten and five and you have
the great run all the way to the SEC Tournament
championship and then you damn near push yourself uh all
the way to uh to Supers but to hosting.
Speaker 7: Supers, right, we were very very close to.
Speaker 1: Host two outs away. Yeah uh so, so again credit
to you for finishing it last year, finding a way,
But this ain't. This is not going to duty noble
to play Mississippi State, who admittedly also did look weak
out of conference last year. But it's different when you're
on the road. It's duty noble. It's a team that's
won a national championship recently, a very prideful baseball Programazoo
is none of these things. And you're at home. It's
a must win series in a great opportunity to get
off to a three and zh start here in conference play.
Speaker 3: You need it because you're going to Texas next week
and they're actually I mean that's a sweet as well, so.
Speaker 1: Sweating that. Yeah, you're right, though, you're right, But isn't
the overall what are the first few series? Because overall
they're much more friendly than last year that okay, yeah,
that was the problem last year is that you ran
and again it's not you know, friendly is a relative
term in the SEC. But but yeah, last year you
dropped the series you thought you were supposed to win
against and then you ran into all the killers. Like
you have a great chance for this team that is,
as Jay Johnson told us yesterday, basically all new, right,
I mean basically a completely remade team. You have a
great chance for them to gain a ton of confidence.
Here in the early portion of this uh this SEC sketch.
Speaker 2: Yes, it actually goes Missouri at home, Texas away, State
at home, and then Oklahoma away.
Speaker 1: Okay, again, nothing's ever going to be easy.
Speaker 2: Getting stayed at home is good. Oklahoma does not have
a big home field advantage. We talked about that. I
mean small stadium I think in the SEC, so compared
to what you were last year. Obviously, you know your
trip to Texas that's going to be one that I'm
excited about because I think that's going to be where
Texas and LSU are the biggest rivals is in baseball.
Speaker 1: So look forward to that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, Missippi State at home feels big considering you
get it. After you get two sec series as well.
The yeah fawn says he's clipping this whole segment. Make
sure t must remembers his most good clip it. I
hope you do.
Speaker 1: I hope you do. Let me proved right, you know what,
because I believe in this, don't no, no nothing, I
believe no, no, no again. I believe that we will win.
That's that we were Bazoo fans to do. It's not
a chance for the big dog to do. Okay, Brazil
ain't out here saying I believe that we will win. No,
I don't know that.
Speaker 7: Do you know that?
Speaker 1: And make no mistake. We are Brazil, we are France.
We are uh Argentina, the one that one Justina that
that that's us. We're not Mexico though, No, we're better
than actually raged the yeah we are. I guess players
to know Cayden Nicoletto's hitting four to twenty two, so
that's impressive. But I said that, there's not much I
was looking at who started the most.
Speaker 7: Games for me either?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 7: That doesn't really do anything for me either?
Speaker 1: No, but I mean you want to. I'm just trying
to highlight like he's the guy that you step up
to play. You should maybe be like, oh, oh, well,
I mean he's hitting four to twenty two, he's got
a four to ninety on base percentage, done it for
a ton of power to a runs ten Ribby's.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean on the on the flip side of things,
t bub like, have you seen the starting pitcher Era
A that you're going against this weekend?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Two north of five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's uh, the guys in the most starts in
the season from Miszolo's cadgers a three four three. Ian
Los is a five to one to two, and Will
Liver it's a five to four to oh and the
fourth guy, I guess maybe they're midweek guys, like a
seven plus. So again, this team, the team's staff has
been really really bad.
Speaker 7: Yeah right, they're eight and eight, but even the games
that they won, they've led a lot of.
Speaker 1: Runs score So and again, you have a lineup right
now that is locked in one through nine and absolutely dominating.
So you're at home, it's conference play. You got a
great mix of vets, young guys, guys who played a
lot of college baseball. It's time to go out there
and make a statement in the box this weekend. And
if you're going to the games, Get loud, get crazy,
make it hard on those paper Tigers and let them
know what they're stepping into. Can't wait to watch Kate
Anderson just moga down tonight. Should be a lot of
strikeouts for the Missouri Tigers on the weekend. There anything
to add on the MISSOO preview before you get out
of here.
Speaker 2: I mean just the stat that is going to stand
out to me is there you are a your batting average,
Like you have a chance to ambush them right right
from the very beginning. Take any hope that they have
to come into bat and RUSI and pulling off any
kind of upset. I mean, they've not only been bad,
they have been two full runs worse than anybody else
in conference. And to your other point, they haven't played anybody.
They haven't played a team that is going to be
in the conversation when it comes to super Regionals in
the College World Series, Like you haven't played anybody, Right,
we'd say the same things. Their stats were great, we'd
point out their opponents. But the fact that they haven't
and their stats are bad, like you have.
Speaker 1: To ambush them and do it early. Yeah, don't give
it bad it's you know, we we all know in
sports you don't give a bad team hope. When you
give a bad team hope and you play with your
food that and you can get into trouble like Jake saying,
you jump on this team early, they will fold like
they will one thousand percent break and you have the
opportunity to do that because he was about turn aund
this season, because it's Timosh whatever, dude, no, no, you
got you can't be scared. Okay, if you're scared, go

Speaker 5: Welcome to the seventh ranked morning sports show in America.
Speaker 4: Off the Bench and with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 1: Probably a song that always needed to be n'artanie to
begin with. You say, this is very like the Cali
It's it was pulling from this from this musical school anyway.
Speaker 3: Originally, Yeah, what's the one that I think carressed me
down where he like starts singing in Spanish.
Speaker 7: I think it's that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wipe me down. Yeah, turn it up. Squeeze boxes.
They're good, fast.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 1: Put a beer in my hand right this second.
Speaker 7: I need to put you on something. Haano music.
Speaker 1: My god, I can feel the good vibes and the
sun shining and and and and my skin getting the
free zonis we need some do seqis all right? So
the Cowboys yesterday, who we love making fun of on
this show, but we also don't like to talk about
that much because, like you know, everybody talks to the Cowboys.
But I think it's actually worth here to to parses
out with Taylor. Uh parsons this that with Taylor. So
DeMarcus Lawrence leaves the Cowboys signed to the Seahawks, and
I gotta be on My initial instincts are, haha, Jerry Jones,
look at you. You you you've mismanaged stall so badly.
You're letting DeMarcus Lawrence walk. And DeMarcus Lawrence is awesome.
But I don't know if I actually feel that's true.
But but I'll get there in a second. So DeMarcus
Lawrence walks. He then, oh, do we have the audio?
I forgot to Yeah, put that in there right now,
give me one time. Yeah, because DeMarcus Lawrence because the Seahawks.
And then he goes on a Seahawks podcast and uh
has some words about his time with the Cowboys. No, no,
one second, Okay, thousand and one. I know normally I can,
normally I can phil it better, but like to keep
the flow of how I think this segment goes in
my head, I feel like we need to start here. Okay, well, look,
get it ready whenever you let's do this. Then, Jake Hello,
how much of a loss is DeMarcus Lawrence? Actually? Have
you looked at Marcus Lawrence's numbers? Yeah? I don't. I
don't think it's that big at all.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, it felt big like initially, yeah, because like
we think we know him as a player, he's had
some success before.
Speaker 1: But so we'll explore that again a second to tell
you got it. Okay, here's Marcus Sorts on the podcast.
Speaker 8: Dallas is my home made my home there, you know,
my family lives there. You know, I'm forever going to
be there, but you know, I know for sure I'm
not gonna win a super Bowl there.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we're here, DeMarcus Lawrence, Welcome to the Seahawks.
Thanks for okay. So you know, I mean normally you
may not hear a player talking, especially not after claiming
home ship there and then being like, but you know
so fan base, yeah you gotta saw. Yeah, you kind
of saw what he said. After he's like whatever, yeah,
hell yeah. So he says that Michael Parsons quote tweets
it and says, this is what rejection and envy look like.
This some clown ish with a clown emoji. DeMarcus arch
respawns and says calling me a clown won't change the
fact that I told the truth. Maybe if you spent
less time tweeting and more time winning, I wouldn't have
left with a smiling demon emoji. And so at first
I'm like, oh, wow, yeah, Demarcuslawrence is right. I mean,
demark Lawrence is great, right, and like like, yeah, Michael
Parsons does, like the tweet and pod and everything, But
then you look at the numbers and DeMarcus Lowrenz is
actually way out of pocket here. This is a guy
who in eleven years only has two double digit sax seasons. Yeah,
the last one of which was seven years ago. He
has sixty one and a half sacks eleven years. You
look at Michaeh. Parsons, He's got fifty two and a
half sacks in four years. He's got double digit sacks
every single year he's been in the league thirteen thirty
and a half fourteen twelve. So I don't really understand
where DeMarcus Lawrence gets off on using the same thing
that the internet attacks Michael Parsons with as being like
that that's why we didn't win, DeMarcus, we didn't win
because you didn't get to the quarterback Like Micah did
his job, DeMarcus did not. I also like to tell him,
you're not winning a Super Bowl in Seattle for me.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 5: It's like in free agency, like whether they've done the
right or wrong moves, like they are very clearly rebuilding.
You get rid of DK Metcalf, you cut Tyler Lockett,
you signed Sam frickin' Darnold as you're starting quarterback, Like,
are you going to win in Dallas?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 5: I think we can all understand that this roster is
not good enough to win a Super Bowl. You're winning
in Seattle either, and you weren't really helping the Cowboys win.
Speaker 1: No, That's what I'm saying. Like, I'm actually surprised DeMarcus
Loren's got the contract that he did.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he's right technically, but like you went
to the Seahawks.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's right about the fact that Dallas may
not win it, but but he's not right at all
about attributing why the winning wasn't happening. He was as
guilty of that as anyone.
Speaker 5: Oh so I always love, like, whether they're right or wrong,
when somebody says you should stop tweeting while tweeting at him,
I just.
Speaker 1: Think it is funny that he just used the exact
thing that the internet attacks Michael Parsons with to attack.
But i mean, Lawrence, what three sacks last year, four
for that, six for that three before that, it's been
very mediocre, made a lot of money then. But yeah,
but I've just said that, Yeah, you know what it is.
He's like, we have here, let's go. He's like, oh man,
and then Tate, don't sleep on Jerra. Look at old
jonesy overnight signs Miles Sanders, and now, according to Adam Schefter,
looking like they are the leader in the race for
Cooper Cup.
Speaker 5: I think that there are three teams that could use
Cooper Cup in the NFL right now, and I think
the Cowboys are one of them. I mean, look at
their receiving corps. You have to have somebody next to
CD Lamb.
Speaker 1: Nice Combus, it would be completely different receivers.
Speaker 5: So, I mean you have to have your second receiver.
Last year was Jaalen Olbert, Like you got you gotta
upgrade from.
Speaker 1: Exactly oh South Alabama legend, shout out USA. So, Taylor,
how are feeling about the Cowboys after this last twenty
four hour news cycle?
Speaker 5: I mean, am I feeling better than when all they
did was signed Javonte Williams? Sure, ask me if they
get Cooper Cup. If if after they get Cooper Cup,
I'll feel a little bit better because, like that's a
glary need in your lineup, Like you have to have
a number two. People are like, how come ceed Lamb
sometimes late in games doesn't step up because these triple
covered because nobody else is on the team. I mean,
that's that's their that's their only weapon.
Speaker 1: Well, Cowboys jerseys. Do you have right now? You have? Persons?
Speaker 4: Is actually the only one?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the only one, Cooper Cuper one.
Speaker 4: I will re order that, bad boy. I might get
a white and a blue one, all right.
Speaker 1: When we get back, watch out a mere Khan, a
new or god has entered the mix. Keep a lock
to tb Off the bench.
Speaker 5: Welcome to the seventh ranked morning sports show in America.
Speaker 4: Off the bench and with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 1: See me heremano, I feel like I'm in the valley.
That's the Buenos stuff right there. Keep this playing for
a little bit. I'm gonna read something. This is the
original song that led me down the rabbit hole. Because,
as the post said, and it's true, when Linger plays
in any former fashion, you have to listen to Linger.
So turn out. Ah uh oh, it's still hits. That's
one of the best hooks in musical history.
Speaker 7: The comment I was like, I'm such a food for Yeah,
I didn't see that.
Speaker 1: Hey, so Jake, you said this in our group text.
Shout out to the the the women at LSU right now.
Gymnastics second in the country, softball fourth, women's indoor track, seventh,
women's tennis, ninth, women's basketball, tenth, beach volleyball eleventh, women's golf, thirteenth,
women in diving nineteenth. Let's go, dude, we don't. We
don't give as much without headlines. We never give as
much love to some of the other sports as we should.
But like you know, Jim monastics, basketball, softball, these are
kind of the revenue drives. But shout out to all
the good work going on in all those various problems.
Speaker 5: We know, we were talking about it when y'all were out.
Somebody did H had a question, like what what l
s U sporting event that you haven't been to?
Speaker 4: Do you want to go to? My answer is beach volleyball?
Speaker 5: Like I know Victoria, we're going, uh sometime in April

like a California tournament coming up. And then and then

Amir Khan is, right, that's the McNeese manager. Yeah, who
has gone viral? Well, how about this kid? There's a
new challenger on the viral block swear all men at least.

good job name, that's a good he could be a
good baseball player.
Speaker 4: That's a good name.
Speaker 1: Off name alone, he could be a good baseball player.
Speaker 2: That reminds me of watching Game Changer during Memphis games
last year when Hudson didn't play and he was like,
kind of he'd be back there if the catcher miss
he throw back to the picture.
Speaker 1: Whatever and any of the walk up songs. We caught
Honey dancing. Hell yeah, game Changer video and yeah, I
mean that's because you can tell he just loves baseball, right.
He loves being around the fellas, seeing the older guy.
He's learning from him, getting some swings in and whatnot.
That's cool man, good job by Tulane. One of my
favorite developments of the Internet over the last year has
been random highlight edits, and that is one of the best.
I watched a six minute Zach Randolph highlight edit yesterday.
Love Zebo one of the best all time big guys.
Speaker 4: Ever undersize too for what he did.
