bit more of the yellow. You were fired up this morning.

40
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,240
I walk into the studio.

41
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 7: You're back here messing with the with the lights over

42
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,960
here behind us, like trying to get the perfect shaded yellow.

43
00:02:24,479 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 3: I was impressed. I didn't even know you knew how

44
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,439
to do it. Not a big deal. Look it matches

45
00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:29,120
perfectly too, looks good.

46
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 4: I'm a big light guy. Love lighting. I don't like

47
00:02:33,879 --> 00:02:36,039
seeing light bulbs. That's kind of like my thing at

48
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,159
the house. I don't want to see light bulbs, but

49
00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:39,560
I love a.

50
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 5: Light Yeah, they gotta have some sort of skonce or something,

51
00:02:42,759 --> 00:02:43,560
some sort of some.

52
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,199
Speaker 3: Sort of glow situation. Now, I get it.

53
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 4: You gotta have can lights when it's like homework time

54
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,840
at the house for you, like, you gotta have some lights, right,

55
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:53,319
I get it.

56
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: I like good lighting. I don't want to see a

57
00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:01,159
light bulb though, just me, so I don't of these cool.

58
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 5: And they're also just not great.

59
00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, these lights, these theater lights came from the theater

60
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,599
where Lincoln was shot, I think.

61
00:03:09,479 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: And they were old. Then they were old, then they

62
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:11,960
were used.

63
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 7: Absolutely, they were used all right.

64
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 4: Well as of last night, women's final four set kind

65
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:26,800
of a stinker too.

66
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,039
Speaker 3: It's boring. It's all number ones.

67
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:32,039
Speaker 5: Typical.

68
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, that happens a lot with the women's Let we

69
00:03:34,199 --> 00:03:36,919
talked about it. They're very top heavy. Yeah, they did.

70
00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:40,120
And none of the games were like particularly close.

71
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:43,759
Speaker 4: Se there Texas Beach. Texas beat Michigan seventy seven to

72
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,919
forty one. Let's see Duke but No eight U C

73
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,759
Lab Dukes seventy to fifty eight. Yukon beats Notre Dame

74
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,319
seventy to fifty two. South Carolina bet TCU seventy eight

75
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,439
fifty two they weren't really close, but then we got

76
00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:03,199
a set. So it's Yukon, Ucla, Texas, South Carolina Yukon

77
00:04:03,919 --> 00:04:06,879
minus two hundred and two thirty five to win the

78
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:07,960
national championship.

79
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: Ucla and Texas both tied at plus five point fifty

80
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,520
South Carolina plus seven fifty to win the championship. So

81
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,199
based on that, I guess Yukon is a big favorite here.

82
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 7: I would like to see them win, like they'd be

83
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,800
be number twelve for Gina and think about how hard

84
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,759
that is, Like that would put him over John Wooden.

85
00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:30,160
That's probably what they said about eleven ro think about

86
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:32,360
how hard that is. But I mean he tied Wooden

87
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,480
with eleven. This would give him this is give him

88
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,199
twelve national championships. I mean that's a that's a hell

89
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,639
of a run. So if you want, if you want

90
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:40,920
to find something to pull for, plus, I think Gino

91
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,839
does it the right way. Gino has always been a

92
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,560
pretty good coach. I got I've always been a Geno

93
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:47,240
arim a fan.

94
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 4: He's been pretty good for sure, and he always says

95
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,480
the right things too. Like I like listening to him,

96
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,399
especially this time of year in press conferences because he

97
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,920
fights for the sport certainly and like to get its

98
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,600
fair share of opportunity in the spotlight, and he fights

99
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:07,079
for his team, certainly so. But it like to be

100
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,800
in the final four with all number one seeds and

101
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,319
to be minus two thirty five to win.

102
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,879
Speaker 3: It's pretty tells you something right there.

103
00:05:14,879 --> 00:05:18,639
Speaker 4: And you look over at the men's side, number one seed, Michigan,

104
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,399
number one seed, Arizona, number three seed, Illinois, number two seed, Yukon,

105
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:29,199
much more evenly distributed. Actually, Michigan has the best odds

106
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:33,279
per the betting, per the per vegas. I guess to

107
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,680
win it all, Michigan's at plus one seventy to win

108
00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:38,079
it all, Arizona plus one eighty to win it all,

109
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,839
Illinois plus four hundred, Yukon plus five fifty. So those

110
00:05:42,879 --> 00:05:46,360
matchups will begin here in the next few days, Michigan

111
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,240
versus Arizona, so you got the two number ones going

112
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,560
at it, then Illinois versus Yukon.

113
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 7: Out of you broke down our OTV brackets, which we

114
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,480
don't need. We don't need to mention what place we're

115
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,360
in or anything. But uh, I think Michigan's my loan.

116
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 5: I don't even know if I have anybody in the

117
00:06:06,959 --> 00:06:07,519
final four.

118
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,439
Speaker 4: Look, we we created are off the bench little group

119
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,959
and Mark. So it's called OTB, Wolfpack, foxhol T, Martin

120
00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:22,439
and I think twelve people joined it, like and I'm

121
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,240
sure more people would have joined it as well if

122
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,040
I didn't make the name so long and confusing. I

123
00:06:26,079 --> 00:06:28,319
get it, but it made me laugh at the time.

124
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,160
That's why I did it, So I don't apologize. Well,

125
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,480
the tripod we're in the last three places.

126
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't have anybody in the final four.

127
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not good, guys, it is not good.

128
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,959
Speaker 6: Duke was like my last shot at having somebody in

129
00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:43,639
the final four.

130
00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 3: There a miracle away too, So yeah. So I had Michigan.

131
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:52,680
Do you have them winning it all? I got them

132
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:53,319
winning at all?

133
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:55,879
Speaker 7: Well, because I do too, And I was like, I

134
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,920
don't know if that gives you points if you get that,

135
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,279
probably not like point.

136
00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:03,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, so let's see I had let's see, I had Michigan, Arkansas,

137
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,079
Michigan State, and Vandy. I really thought Vandy was heating

138
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,720
up the right time. Did oh, yeah, Delta, it's a

139
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:12,360
big on them.

140
00:07:12,959 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 6: I had Duke, Houston, Texas Tech in Texas.

141
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 4: It's not great. So let me ask you this. Have

142
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,240
y'all been Have y'all been locked into the tournament? I mean,

143
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:27,199
Taylor you're locked into.

144
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,319
Speaker 3: I mean not not as.

145
00:07:29,279 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 7: Elected as I have been in years past, just because

146
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,560
it's it's kind of been so chalk.

147
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,199
Speaker 3: But I mean, I've watched the I've watched the big schools.

148
00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:37,319
Speaker 4: Are we are we bandwagon? Like if our brackets kind

149
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,079
of busted, you kind of tune out of it?

150
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 3: Or is it?

151
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,279
Speaker 4: Has this been a different year for y'all? Because I

152
00:07:43,399 --> 00:07:46,199
probably I think it's just like my time of life

153
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,120
right now. We're so slammed with kids stuff all the time,

154
00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:52,279
you can't like lock in as much as you want to.

155
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,079
But I also didn't know it is because like Bandy

156
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,920
lost early, so I wouldn't as interested.

157
00:07:57,319 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 7: I never thought I'd pull from Michigan in anything, but

158
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,199
kind of like to see them win. The Big Ten

159
00:08:02,279 --> 00:08:05,680
hadn't won a national championship in the NCAA tournament? Was

160
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,120
it one O two? Michigan State? And that's the last time?

161
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,160
So street coming to an end? That's that's a little

162
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,519
bit interesting. That's wild, right, I know, because they up

163
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,759
basketball schools? Is it last time since matteen Cleaves? Was Yes,

164
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,160
that's the entire ten. The last time a Big Ten

165
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:28,040
team has won the national championship Men's basketball, Matteaen Cleaves

166
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:30,680
like the one of the few people that I remember

167
00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:32,639
watching as a kid. Like I can tell you because

168
00:08:32,639 --> 00:08:35,200
I'm you know, Mike come as a shock to y'all.

169
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,320
I'm not a guy that recalls a lot.

170
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 3: Of names and sports, but matteen Cleaves is one of them.

171
00:08:41,879 --> 00:08:47,120
The lefty I believe that was a fun team to watch.

172
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's the last time and like freshman up

173
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,519
the they don't how any Wisconsin teams Michigan, I mean

174
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,799
you know that. You've seen the The Fab five documentary,

175
00:08:55,879 --> 00:08:58,000
Chris Webber, Jalen Rose and all them. They never won

176
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,840
the national championship. Like, there's just so many teams that

177
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,639
were very very close. Wisconsin with Frank Kaminski a few

178
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,159
years ago, it was really really good.

179
00:09:06,159 --> 00:09:07,279
Speaker 3: They got to the finals.

180
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 7: They lost to do Like, there's so many teams out

181
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,919
there that got closed or just han't got it done

182
00:09:12,919 --> 00:09:13,639
for whatever reason.

183
00:09:14,159 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 4: You got to think that with the emergence of the

184
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,440
pay for play period of college football, this time we're

185
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,919
in that you got to think that the Big Ten,

186
00:09:23,039 --> 00:09:27,120
we will have better teams probably not to say that

187
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,879
they haven't had. I mean, it's hard even if you're

188
00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:30,960
a great team, it's hard to get through the tournament.

189
00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 3: Everybody understands that. But you got to think.

190
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,279
Speaker 4: That some of the bigger schools will invest the money,

191
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,360
just like teams of the SEC are doing, teams in

192
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,679
different different parts of the country are doing in different conferences.

193
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,759
But you got to think there's some teams out there

194
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,120
in the Big Ten that say, you bring up like

195
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,159
a Wisconsin. I know they have funds to do it.

196
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,480
I know that's a proud sport for them. You got

197
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,279
to think teams like that will invest those inn aisle

198
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:01,440
dollars and be able to fundraise necessary funds for those

199
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,919
different programs that you know outside of football. We know

200
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,799
that for a lot of SEC and Big Ten, football

201
00:10:08,879 --> 00:10:10,720
is going to get the line line's share of like

202
00:10:10,759 --> 00:10:14,919
the revshare portion, But those teams that have that history

203
00:10:14,919 --> 00:10:17,399
of being really good just haven't been able to break through,

204
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,080
I think are going to benefit from that fundraising. So

205
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,759
that's an interesting one you bring up there with the

206
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,639
old badges. But we'll see if Michigan get it done.

207
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,960
I'm not don't want to cheer for them, But for

208
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,039
the sake of my bracket, right, Like, that's I need

209
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,840
to go from like third to last place to at

210
00:10:32,919 --> 00:10:34,399
least fifth or sixth to the last place.

211
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,519
Speaker 3: Can I get the middle of there? That's a big

212
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,759
deal for me. Talking about some bragging rights there not

213
00:10:39,919 --> 00:10:41,279
somebody just put this in the chat.

214
00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 7: You were talking earlier about the Saints having marketing rights

215
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,120
in Italy. The Cleveland Browns are just posted we are

216
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,840
excited to announce that we've fig granted marketing rights in Italy.

217
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,159
Speaker 3: So it's not exclusive, not exclusive.

218
00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 5: I don't know how any Maybe they're gonna play each other.

219
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 3: Italy's just handing out those rights. Like It's true, you

220
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,320
do gotta have two teams. So that's a fair point.

221
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 5: Now the Browns are a choice for sure.

222
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 3: Got to play someone. Yeah.

223
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,759
Speaker 4: I even asked, like I even asked chat GPT, what

224
00:11:15,799 --> 00:11:18,600
does NFL Global Market Program mean?

225
00:11:20,799 --> 00:11:24,919
Speaker 3: Didn't really have a great answer for me. Really. Basically,

226
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,759
it says the NFL is franchising its teams globally without

227
00:11:28,799 --> 00:11:32,600
moving them by letting them quote unquote own fan growth

228
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:33,960
in specific countries.

229
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 5: I mean that makes sense, what does it?

230
00:11:39,639 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you want to spread the game, globally like

231
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,000
NFL wants to do. Then, Yeah, it would make sense

232
00:11:44,039 --> 00:11:45,879
that you would have to market in other countries.

233
00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:49,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like doing.

234
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,639
Speaker 4: About team, that makes it a little weird, right, and

235
00:11:51,759 --> 00:11:53,399
especially given in the Browns, I.

236
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 5: Guess yeah, the Browns are choice for sure.

237
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 7: Are you selling Saints gear and Brown's gear exclusively in it?

238
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:02,279
Speaker 5: I don't know.

239
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,759
Speaker 4: So that the National Football leagu Global Market Experiment allows

240
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,840
individual NFL teams to market themselves in specific countries outside

241
00:12:08,879 --> 00:12:13,159
the US, almost like giving them territories overseas. I don't

242
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,240
know what that means though. Were they not allowed to

243
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,000
sell a Saints jersey in Italy beforehand?

244
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 3: I don't get. I don't know what that means.

245
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,039
Speaker 4: I read like the big statement from this that the

246
00:12:27,039 --> 00:12:29,759
Saints posted as well, it still told me a whole

247
00:12:29,799 --> 00:12:30,320
bunch of nothing.

248
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,759
Speaker 6: It's looking so I'm on like the NFL's website right now,

249
00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:40,039
and it does look like every team has its own

250
00:12:40,039 --> 00:12:40,879
little territory.

251
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,639
Speaker 5: So Italy is Saints and Browns.

252
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,639
Speaker 6: Germany has the Falcons, the Panthers, the Lions, the Packers,

253
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,919
the Colts, the Chiefs.

254
00:12:51,639 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, why Germany gets so many I don't know.

255
00:12:54,519 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 6: Greece only has the Chargers. South Korea only has the Rams,

256
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,200
Japan only has the Rams, Nigeria has the Browns, Argentina

257
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:04,440
only has the Dolphins.

258
00:13:06,159 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 5: France only has the Saints.

259
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 3: Which France makes sense because the flair flitidly.

260
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,919
Speaker 5: I think that, Like it's the proximity from France to Italy.

261
00:13:21,159 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 3: What does it mean they can sell jerseys there?

262
00:13:23,879 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 6: I mean this feels pretty self explanatory to me.

263
00:13:26,759 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 3: Why because they're just trying to.

264
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,159
Speaker 6: Market in other countries, Like I don't know why that's

265
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,000
hard to understand.

266
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,039
Speaker 3: What do you mean about market in other countries?

267
00:13:34,519 --> 00:13:38,279
Speaker 5: Like they're just trying to like promote themselves.

268
00:13:39,399 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: This country. This is your team now, I guess. Yeah.

269
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 6: It's kind of how the Jaguars weren't the Jaguars like

270
00:13:44,879 --> 00:13:46,720
in uh, England?

271
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,759
Speaker 5: Yeah? Or who's in Ireland.

272
00:13:52,759 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 6: The Steelers, Like isn't it one of the.

273
00:13:56,039 --> 00:13:59,279
Speaker 3: One of them? Is? So like Italy is like I

274
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:05,159
declare that all citizens of this great country can only

275
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,399
be fans of the Browns or the Saints because they

276
00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:09,240
are marketing here.

277
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,279
Speaker 6: And I'm sure any other team could be like, hey,

278
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:13,639
I want to market in Italy too.

279
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:22,919
Speaker 4: A couple hundred bucks, maybe we're gonna ask Nick Underhill,

280
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,240
we had to get to the bottom of this situation.

281
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,159
And I agree, like the words they're saying are self explanatory,

282
00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:36,240
but I don't agree that what it actually means means

283
00:14:36,279 --> 00:14:41,759
anything except to confuse me on a Tuesday morning.

284
00:14:41,799 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 6: I think it's just a global initiative to get people

285
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:44,840
more into the NFL.

286
00:14:47,399 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 7: Good do you because like I'm okay with a couple

287
00:14:53,039 --> 00:14:55,279
of games, but like the NFL opens on a Wednesday night.

288
00:14:55,279 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, this year, which I hate.

289
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're gonna do it, Like give everybody

290
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,440
one country in one team.

291
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 3: Jeremy, what you got eight of them? It's not fair.

292
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:18,960
Ram's got a couple of countries, just pick one. Who

293
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,159
do you think the Cowboys have? North Korea?

294
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:28,559
Speaker 7: No, let me think somewhere somewhere, Yeah, some third world.

295
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 5: I actually don't see the Cowboys on here.

296
00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:36,799
Speaker 3: Nobody wants them. Jerry said, it's all about America.

297
00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:42,039
Speaker 6: Probably all right, they got the Great State of Texas,

298
00:15:42,279 --> 00:15:42,879
all right.

299
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,519
Speaker 3: Probably exactly what he said. All right, well we.

300
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 5: Are back in Mexico makes sense too, That also makes sense.

301
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 3: All right.

302
00:15:52,519 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 4: Fifteen minutes we got Ja Clark joining the show where

303
00:15:54,519 --> 00:15:57,759
you will talk about you gymnastics as they go into regionals.

304
00:15:57,759 --> 00:16:01,799
They're gonna host the regionals starting to April first through fourth,

305
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,759
I believe right here at the Pemis. So we'll have

306
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,279
him joining the show. We got Nick Underhill coming in

307
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,200
at nine am to discuss these global marketing rights. What

308
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,360
what the hell that really means? So we'll find out,

309
00:16:13,399 --> 00:16:15,000
but stick with us right here, off the.

310
00:16:14,919 --> 00:16:16,799
Speaker 2: Match, off the bench.

311
00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:20,759
Speaker 4: All right, do y'all know what if you dial eight

312
00:16:20,799 --> 00:16:22,480
eight eight eight eight eight eight, you know where that

313
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:22,799
takes you?

314
00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:23,639
Speaker 1: Uh?

315
00:16:24,159 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 5: Gordon mccurna, Yes, no way.

316
00:16:26,279 --> 00:16:27,759
Speaker 3: Gordon mccurnon, injury attorney.

317
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,759
Speaker 4: So if you've been injured, if you get a little

318
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,679
thinder bender, get a car accident, maybe been injured on

319
00:16:32,679 --> 00:16:35,519
the job, we'll pick up your phone, start.

320
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,159
Speaker 3: Hitting the eighth eight eight eight eight eight eight. You

321
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:37,799
started hitting it.

322
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,759
Speaker 4: Till calls no matter where in Louisiana, doesn't matter where,

323
00:16:40,879 --> 00:16:44,159
what that area code is, that is the number of dials.

324
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,320
So if you have been injured, you don't really know

325
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,720
what to do, well give them a call, because they

326
00:16:48,759 --> 00:16:51,200
do know what to do. They can get exactly what

327
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,399
you deserve. They've been doing it a long time and

328
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,480
we've seen them in the community, Gordon mccurnet in the

329
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,799
community doing so many great things throughout the year, so

330
00:16:59,799 --> 00:17:03,960
many charitable giveaways, donations, all the things that they do.

331

Speaker 2: Com off the Bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn,

338
00:17:29,759 --> 00:18:02,279
presented by Community Steel.

Speaker 1: Him many deal.

340
00:17:54,640 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 4: I'll all right, welcome back here off the bench Tuesday morning.

341
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,640
I've got some complaints by my Mike levels the chat.

342
00:18:12,799 --> 00:18:15,759
I'm just gonna speak up, speaking a little low this morning.

343
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,920
I'm not going to complain like Hester and say I'm

344
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:19,759
tired this morning.

345
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 3: I would never do that.

346
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,319
Speaker 4: I saw a great comment in the chat earlier that

347
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,200
said Hester now identifies as a running back, not a

348
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,640
fullback since he's gone to NFL.

349
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 3: That's a tough look for him.

350
00:18:36,039 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

351
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:43,799
Speaker 4: He one of the big things that has kind of

352
00:18:43,799 --> 00:18:47,559
been coming across my timeline this past week and this weekend. Certainly,

353
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,680
I want to get y'all's thoughts on it is the

354
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,319
new ABS system in Major League Baseball. I know there's

355
00:18:53,319 --> 00:18:56,000
a lot of good to it, but I want to

356
00:18:56,039 --> 00:19:00,160
know how y'all feel that it has gone through the

357
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,480
first you know, first handful of games out now that

358
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,920
of course, the ABS system is the automatic ball strike situation,

359
00:19:08,079 --> 00:19:13,839
which is allows players to challenge balls and tricks obviously

360
00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:16,519
well tap of the head most of times getting a

361
00:19:16,559 --> 00:19:19,039
real quick tap of the head as well. But the

362
00:19:19,279 --> 00:19:22,559
umpires are getting exposed real fast out here now, Like like,

363
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,839
I'm not gonna say this is an easy situation because

364
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,680
most of these things that I'm seeing at least that

365
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,400
are getting challenged are like fractions of an inch that

366
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,640
they're either hitting the square or not hitting it. How

367
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,200
do y'all think it's gone? Is this Is this good

368
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,079
for the game or is this bad for the game?

369
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 5: I think it can be both, But I'm also a

370
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,720
lot things can be true. I think both things can

371
00:19:43,759 --> 00:19:44,079
be true.

372
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 6: I know that's kind of like a riding the fence

373
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,400
kind of answer, but I personally this is and this

374
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,240
is a hot People don't agree with me at all,

375
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,079
but me personally, I'm like a traditionalist, right so I

376
00:19:57,079 --> 00:19:59,359
don't like to see all the new stuff that's happening

377
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,799
in baseball, well just because like I just like the

378
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,440
old school way of doing things, and like baseball is

379
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,519
America's pastime, you know, so I just feel like that's

380
00:20:07,559 --> 00:20:10,480
one of those things that you shouldn't really mess with.

381
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:12,359
Like I don't like the pitch clock. I know that

382
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:17,200
people hate that take and everybody loves the pitchclock, but

383
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,799
I just don't like it. But I think that when

384
00:20:21,839 --> 00:20:25,480
there's umpires that are clearly really bad at their.

385
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: Job and.

386
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:34,519
Speaker 6: Sometimes inconsistent with calling balls and strikes, I think that's good.

387
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 3: Who was the who?

388
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,039
Speaker 6: I think objectively it could be a good thing. Subjectively,

389
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,920
I'm not like I don't care either.

390
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 4: Way, right, Like I'm all about all sports. Yeah, and

391
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,680
I'm not even gonna say exposing.

392
00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 3: Refs or ups expose them.

393
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:49,319
Speaker 8: But.

394
00:20:51,559 --> 00:20:54,559
Speaker 4: I guess exposing the ones that aren't as good like

395
00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:00,160
they are going to be having people watch you have

396
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,200
an accountability, especially immediate accountability, like this makes you be

397
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,759
better at anything that you do. Are your good coach

398
00:21:06,759 --> 00:21:09,559
hos hold his players accountable, A good parent holds his

399
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,640
kids accountable, Like that's the way we get better and

400
00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:15,599
I'm sure that these umps have a grade and they're

401
00:21:15,599 --> 00:21:20,440
accountable to somebody, but now they're accountable to everybody in

402
00:21:20,519 --> 00:21:24,359
real time. Immediately. How embarrassing had to it have been

403
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,759
for it was? It was it cb C B. Buckner

404
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,400
the umpire, I can't even remember what a game was

405
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:35,079
like he got six, like immediately he got six wrong?

406
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,920
Now again, like, look, we're talking to like a quarter

407
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,640
of an inch off wrong? I get, like, it's it's

408
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,880
hard and the ball's moving a lot. These catchers are

409
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,680
elite or absolutely elite at framing the strike zone. Like,

410
00:21:48,759 --> 00:21:52,000
I get it. It's not an easy situation. But but

411
00:21:52,039 --> 00:21:54,319
my god, and I'm sure and I can imagine that

412
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,559
every umpire in Major League Baseball is gonna have games

413
00:21:57,599 --> 00:22:00,559
like that where they get exposed on multiple So everybody's

414
00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:02,319
gonna have a little egg on their face at some point.

415
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 3: But I think most of the ones.

416
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 4: That I saw called wrong, we're not wrong by a lot, right,

417
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,440
Like if it was if they called it a ball

418
00:22:12,519 --> 00:22:14,319
and the catcher thought it was a strike, Like it's

419
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,000
clipping the outer edge of the perimeter of that rectangle. Yeah,

420
00:22:18,039 --> 00:22:20,440
like so it's not like crazy. So I was watching

421
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,359
it and I was like, man, these refs or these

422
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,359
umps are getting like poo pooed on by everybody, and

423
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,559
I'm like, it's it doesn't look that easy. And these

424
00:22:28,559 --> 00:22:32,359
were really close calls, So like I'm all about you know,

425
00:22:32,519 --> 00:22:34,440
we're not going to ever give like the ref the

426
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,400
benefit of the doubt here on these shows. But I'm

427
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,079
watching it and I'm like, I don't like seeing as

428
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,359
a guy that had like tuned into a lot of

429
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,880
baseball in his adulthood, yeah, starting to try to tune

430
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,240
in a lot more now, especially my son playing baseball.

431
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,519
He wants to watch some more new just baseball on

432
00:22:51,519 --> 00:22:53,119
the TV at least, right, and I like to have

433
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,680
it like at least on the background so.

434
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 3: He's at least like soaking things in subconsciously. Right.

435
00:22:58,759 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 4: It was just baseball knowledge terminology or whatever it is.

436
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,160
I'm watching it and I don't like it just seems

437
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:07,759
like they're and I know there are rules and you

438
00:23:07,799 --> 00:23:09,920
can't like there's I'm sure there's a certain amount that

439
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,160
you can do. It seems like there's just people tapping

440
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,680
the head all over the place. I guess my question

441
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,400
like how many do you get?

442
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,039
Speaker 7: Because like that's a good point that Lauder brought up

443
00:23:18,039 --> 00:23:19,839
about the pitch clock, like you either love it or

444
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,559
hate it, but they installed the pitchclock to speed up

445
00:23:22,599 --> 00:23:22,880
the game.

446
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,799
Speaker 3: I feel like this kind of slows down the game.

447
00:23:24,839 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 4: And I think they only have like fifteen seconds to

448
00:23:26,759 --> 00:23:28,680
make the decision like once it is.

449
00:23:28,559 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 7: Which is fine, but it's like, I do feel like

450
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,880
this slows down the game. The pitchclock was to speed

451
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,559
up the game, So it's I mean, kind of like,

452
00:23:34,599 --> 00:23:35,079
what are we doing?

453
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 4: It's goind of counterintuitive, right, so do the first forty

454
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,160
seven games there was one hundred and seventy five challenges,

455
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,519
which is the average of like three point seven per game.

456
00:23:43,599 --> 00:23:46,559
So I guess, like, if you're doing the math, it's

457
00:23:46,599 --> 00:23:50,039
around a minute. I guess probably wasted or not wasted.

458
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,680
So it's it's actually it's not slowing it down too much,

459
00:23:54,039 --> 00:23:57,039
A guess. But that was my thoughts. It's kind of

460
00:23:57,039 --> 00:23:59,400
messing up the flow of the game, right, like to

461
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,000
watch it. But but but there's this other side of

462
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,480
me that's like, but it's actually really good because you're

463
00:24:04,519 --> 00:24:08,400
holding them accountable. They're gonna eventually be better because of

464
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,000
the scrutiny that they're getting.

465
00:24:10,759 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 3: Uh So I think I.

466
00:24:12,079 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 7: Don't think there's less reviews there than there is in

467
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:15,000
like football.

468
00:24:15,079 --> 00:24:17,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just don't need to see like a review.

469
00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:21,079
Speaker 4: A ball missing like a quarter of an inch outside

470
00:24:21,079 --> 00:24:22,720
of the strike center getting called a strike. I don't

471
00:24:22,759 --> 00:24:25,559
need to see that in the top of the third inning. No,

472
00:24:25,839 --> 00:24:28,440
well it's like no outs, nobody on base, Like I

473
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,400
don't need to see that. Maybe there's a situation to

474
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,960
where like you want the you want that in big situations,

475
00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:38,200
like meaningful situations. So maybe there's parameters on when they

476
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,480
can be called, yeah, or like tighten it down to

477
00:24:41,519 --> 00:24:43,319
how many you can call it, then they're not wasting

478
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,480
them as much like trying to tell a catcher you

479
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,680
can only do it twice again, Like that right, that

480
00:24:47,759 --> 00:24:50,279
guy's like tapping his head every time he's framing one up.

481
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:50,799
Speaker 1: Yeah.

482
00:24:50,839 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 5: And also like don't leave it up to the ump.

483
00:24:53,759 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 6: We say it all the time, like if the call

484
00:24:56,319 --> 00:24:58,480
is close, don't leave it up to the ump.

485
00:24:58,559 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 5: Aoulew that thing off.

486
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 6: Okay if it's like a quarter point Yeah, if it's

487
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,759
a quarter of an inch off the little rectangle or whatever,

488
00:25:06,839 --> 00:25:08,039
like you could have filed that one off.

489
00:25:08,599 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 4: Leave some of those some of those pictures have so

490
00:25:11,279 --> 00:25:13,680
much movement they probably don't even it's sick.

491
00:25:13,839 --> 00:25:15,319
Speaker 3: It is pretty sick. It's fun to watch.

492
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 4: But anyway, hey, look, if you're listening, you're looking at

493
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,680
listening at home, or if you're just at the office.

494
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,160
Whatever is jumping YouTube jumping the chat with us over

495

535
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:34,839
Speaker 3: We are doing fantastic.

536
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 4: Excited for Excited for your team right now hosting a

537
00:27:38,079 --> 00:27:40,200
regional right here in the PMAC.

538
00:27:40,279 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 3: What does that?

539
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,319
Speaker 4: What does that mean for you to have that seed

540
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:44,759
at the end of the year, to be able to

541
00:27:44,799 --> 00:27:46,480
host these regionals?

542
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 8: Well, you know, we haven't. We haven't hosted one of

543
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,240
these things since twenty nineteen. And you know, I don't

544
00:27:53,319 --> 00:27:56,880
understand the whole bit process deal that we've got. We

545
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,720
we try to get it every year. We think we're

546
00:27:58,759 --> 00:28:02,400
one of the more attractive locations for this for obvious reasons.

547
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:07,279
But nonetheless we've got it. This year. We've positioned ourselves

548
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,920
in a great position as the number one seed for

549
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:14,480
this regional, number two overall nationally, and we feel good

550
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,759
about it. Hopefully we can take advantage of the of

551
00:28:17,799 --> 00:28:21,079
the familiar confines of the p back and being on

552
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,720
our own equipment and and get through this thing.

553
00:28:23,759 --> 00:28:24,319
Speaker 3: It's going to be.

554
00:28:24,519 --> 00:28:26,759
Speaker 8: It's a tough field that we've got coming in here,

555
00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:29,240
and you know, when you get to this stage of

556
00:28:29,279 --> 00:28:32,480
the game, it's never easy but I feel good about

557
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,400
where our team is mentally and physically at this.

558
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 4: Point because you got these regionals. You have number you know,

559
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,079
of course, number two LSU, you had number fifteen Clemson,

560
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,799
you got Auburn Air Force, Nebraska, the number seven stand

561
00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:50,599
for number ten Michigan, you NC Utah State. So certainly

562
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,680
a lot of good teams out there, but y'all certainly

563
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:58,000
are not. Y'all are experience with playing of course, being

564
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,160
in the SEC, playing the best of the best in

565
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,079
every single week.

566
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 3: So just how are your girls feeling?

567
00:29:03,839 --> 00:29:07,559
Speaker 4: I know they've had a fantastic season, a lot of

568
00:29:07,599 --> 00:29:09,720
great meets, a lot of great scores. They've been posted

569
00:29:09,799 --> 00:29:12,880
coming off the SEC Championships a week and a half ago.

570
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,599
So how would the girls feeling right now, just going

571
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:16,960
into the postseason.

572
00:29:17,519 --> 00:29:20,359
Speaker 8: Well, you're, first of all, you're right, you know, anytime

573
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,079
you can run the gauntlet of the Southeastern Conference during

574
00:29:24,119 --> 00:29:27,839
the year, you should be prepared for just about anything.

575
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,759
But I think our kids are in a good position,

576
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,559
you know, right now, as far as how we train,

577
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,279
less is more Because you get to this stage of

578
00:29:36,319 --> 00:29:39,200
the game and you're fifteen weeks in, the bodies begin

579
00:29:39,359 --> 00:29:42,000
to begin to show a little wear and tear, but

580
00:29:42,039 --> 00:29:44,720
I think more than anything, you know, we've just got

581
00:29:44,799 --> 00:29:47,920
to continue to be the team that we have been

582
00:29:48,079 --> 00:29:52,640
from a mental approach standpoint, and not not trying to

583
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,279
be overly perfect right now. We just need to get

584
00:29:55,279 --> 00:29:57,519
out there and compete hard, which is what we've done

585
00:29:57,559 --> 00:30:00,240
all year. We've shown the ability to fight and let

586
00:30:00,359 --> 00:30:03,599
things snowball on us when when we do have a mistake.

587
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,559
So I feel good about it. I think our kids

588
00:30:05,559 --> 00:30:09,480
feel good about it. Their confident bunch and uh, and

589
00:30:09,519 --> 00:30:11,839
we should be we should be able to position ourselves

590
00:30:11,839 --> 00:30:12,359
pretty well.

591
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,359
Speaker 4: Because so your your team takes it takes the floor

592
00:30:16,519 --> 00:30:19,519
on Thursday, Thursday evening at seven pm. And then if

593
00:30:19,519 --> 00:30:21,880
you're interested, there's a lot of gymnastics this week. So

594
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:26,000
April first through fourth there will be gymnastics tomorrow Air Forest, Nebraska.

595
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,559
Then at one pm on Thursday, Stanford, Michigan, North Carolina,

596
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,480
Utah State. But LSU takes the court on it takes

597
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,279
the floor on Thursday night. So it's a you're going

598
00:30:37,359 --> 00:30:39,039
to go into this is gonna be a four team

599
00:30:39,079 --> 00:30:42,079
meet Thursday night. So how do you how do you

600
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,839
go into those types of meat? There's so much happening around.

601
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,519
Usually it's it's two teams there. Do you tell you

602
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,599
do you tell your girls to focus on what they're doing?

603
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,480
Do you all score watch around what other people are

604
00:30:53,519 --> 00:30:54,119
doing as well?

605
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,599
Speaker 8: Well, I hope they don't score watch. I know some

606
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,119
of them probably do. But really, you know, as if

607
00:31:00,119 --> 00:31:02,559
you've heard me stay before, there is no defense. So

608
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,880
the best thing we can do is just stay present

609
00:31:05,279 --> 00:31:07,960
with what it is we're doing, uh, and focus on

610
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,680
on on what we're doing. Look when when things when

611
00:31:11,799 --> 00:31:14,599
things go wrong, it's it's impossible to not wonder, you

612
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,519
know where you stand, and so we you know, we

613
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,640
just have to control those emotions and and stay stay

614
00:31:20,759 --> 00:31:24,000
very very present. As I mentioned, I've likened it before

615
00:31:24,079 --> 00:31:27,279
to you know, being uh, being in the final round

616
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,279
of a of a of a major golf tournament. You

617
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,440
can hear what's going on around you. You can hear

618
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,480
the galleryes going crazy if somebody somebody birdies at sixteen

619
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,519
or whatever. But you've got it. You've got to stay

620
00:31:39,519 --> 00:31:41,519
focused on what you're doing. And the only way to

621
00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:44,599
do that is just to not scoreboard watch, but pour

622
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,319
all your energy into what we're doing. Stay in that bubble.

623
00:31:47,359 --> 00:31:50,440
The best you possibly can, and and uh and hope

624
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,839
for a great outcome and and really for us, you know,

625
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,920
we we're hopeful that our fans will get in there

626
00:31:56,079 --> 00:31:58,519
on Thursday night and again on Saturday. And I realize

627
00:31:58,519 --> 00:32:01,119
it's Easter weekend, you know, and that that poses a

628
00:32:01,119 --> 00:32:04,240
little bit of an obstacle. But you know, we've grown

629
00:32:04,319 --> 00:32:07,119
so accustomed to being in there and having our our

630
00:32:07,279 --> 00:32:09,759
art and support from our fan base and being able

631
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,759
to uh depend on that is something that that that

632
00:32:13,839 --> 00:32:16,720
we need to be able to take advantage of certainly.

633
00:32:16,799 --> 00:32:20,039
Speaker 4: And uh, we we hope and we expect LSU fans

634
00:32:20,079 --> 00:32:22,880
to pack the p MAC as well for every time

635
00:32:23,079 --> 00:32:26,680
LSU gymnastics because it is as much watch TV right there.

636
00:32:27,359 --> 00:32:28,960
And I want to follow up a little bit on

637
00:32:29,039 --> 00:32:32,160
the Okay, so and look, this question is coming from

638
00:32:33,279 --> 00:32:35,000
old football player meat had here.

639
00:32:35,359 --> 00:32:35,599
Speaker 3: Uh.

640
00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 4: If you're watching, so the coaches y'all have to kind

641
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,200
of probably keep track. You want your players to focus

642
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,359
certainly on what's happening. Yeah, but when you get into

643
00:32:45,559 --> 00:32:48,279
the postseason, I mean, it's it's it's winner go home

644
00:32:48,319 --> 00:32:48,759
at this point.

645
00:32:48,839 --> 00:32:49,839
Speaker 3: It's just best scoring.

646
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 4: So if there's a situation you kind of mentioned golf

647
00:32:52,759 --> 00:32:55,200
like a golfer doesn't want to watch the score, but

648
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,559
if he's down, he might know that he has to

649
00:32:57,559 --> 00:32:58,240
pull something.

650
00:32:58,279 --> 00:32:59,039
Speaker 3: He he has to.

651
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 4: Make a shot that he would normally try. Maybe at

652
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,200
the end, is there a situation that, okay, we need

653
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,799
to score a certain amount? Is there is there something

654
00:33:07,799 --> 00:33:10,839
that you would ever change in a routine, add something

655
00:33:11,279 --> 00:33:13,759
to a routine because you know you need it, or

656
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,400
is it just no, you got to execute the routine

657
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:17,960
we practice every single time.

658
00:33:18,839 --> 00:33:21,599
Speaker 8: It would be highly unusual for me to do something

659
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,799
like that. I can I can only think of maybe

660
00:33:23,839 --> 00:33:27,599
one time where that's been the case in thirty five years.

661
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:27,839
Speaker 3: Of doing this.

662
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,799
Speaker 8: The reality is they get into a rhythm and and

663
00:33:30,839 --> 00:33:33,599
a routine, and everything in their mind at that point

664
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,799
is very choreographed, and they you know, they they've got

665
00:33:36,839 --> 00:33:39,720
certain things they say to what themselves, They've got verbal

666
00:33:39,759 --> 00:33:42,160
cues that they put themselves through, and for me to

667
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,960
disrupt that, you know, midstream most of the time, is

668
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,680
going to be a lot more detrimental than it is

669
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,680
going to be beneficial. So it's not something that that

670
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,799
you'll see us do very often. And in fact, you

671
00:33:53,799 --> 00:33:55,960
know I tell them all the time, just let me

672
00:33:56,039 --> 00:33:58,680
get pissed off at the judges. You don't worry about things.

673
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,519
You keep doing what you do and don't get distracted

674
00:34:01,559 --> 00:34:04,640
by anything that I say or do you know that

675
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,039
in the course of a competition, we just have to

676
00:34:08,599 --> 00:34:10,639
their their best approach is just going to be to

677
00:34:10,679 --> 00:34:14,159
stay in there. Bell. There's certain kids that that can handle, uh,

678
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,000
you know, shifts in the environment, and then there's those

679
00:34:17,039 --> 00:34:19,000
that really you just have to leave alone and let

680
00:34:19,039 --> 00:34:21,320
them go into. You know, a couple of our kids

681
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,760
almost go into a kind of a catatonic, transical looking

682
00:34:25,599 --> 00:34:28,559
uh state of mind before they go where they block

683
00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:30,679
out everything and they don't hear what's going on around them.

684
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,719
It does you no good to talk to them because

685
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:37,119
they are they're dialed in and it's uh, it's it's

686
00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:39,599
one of the one of the challenges of of my

687
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,599
job is to meet them where they are, because they're

688
00:34:41,599 --> 00:34:43,480
all a little bit different that way. Some of them

689
00:34:43,519 --> 00:34:47,079
want more inputs, some of them want zero inputs, and uh,

690
00:34:47,119 --> 00:34:48,920
and you just got to be able to be able

691
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,440
to kind of read the moment with each one of

692
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,079
them and try to help them get where they.

693
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 3: Need to get.

694
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, well said, I mean, everybody's a little bit different.

695
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,320
That's the mark of a good coach is to be

696
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,039
able to understand the mentality the psychology of your players.

697
00:35:01,119 --> 00:35:03,599
And and you're and the girls on your team, and

698
00:35:03,639 --> 00:35:05,800
certainly you got some you got some studs.

699
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 3: Your team is.

700
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 4: Full of a bunch of exeasonal language with a bunch

701
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:13,320
of badass women. Uh and All Americans came out recently

702
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,920
Lincoln All American, Unvault and Flora Connor McClain and even

703
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,119
bars Beam, Amari Drayden, Fault, kayle Chi basically everything.

704
00:35:21,559 --> 00:35:22,039
Speaker 3: What does it mean?

705
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 4: What does it mean to have studs like that on

706
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,760
your team that are just going out there every week?

707
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:29,599
Speaker 3: You know?

708
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,079
Speaker 8: It's uh, it's it's definitely a comfort to know that

709
00:35:33,159 --> 00:35:36,039
you've got you've got and there's more than just them,

710
00:35:36,079 --> 00:35:39,760
I mean, it's it's Our team is full of great competitors,

711
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,360
kids that are proven over time and time again that

712
00:35:42,599 --> 00:35:45,719
uh that they have a level of consistency that can

713
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,639
be counted on over and over again. They rely on

714
00:35:48,679 --> 00:35:51,800
each other, and those kids that are that that made

715
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,719
regular season All American would be the first to tell

716
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,239
you they don't do it without without their teammates setting

717
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,719
them up. So We've got a great group of kids.

718
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,679
I've got a credit Gar Griffiths spearheads are recruiting efforts.

719
00:36:02,679 --> 00:36:05,880
He identifies the talent, but not only that, the personalities

720
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,400
that will fit here with the culture that we try

721
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:12,800
to create year over year here at LSU. And so

722
00:36:13,039 --> 00:36:15,880
I'm just you know, I'm a I'm a blessed man

723
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,440
to have done this as long as I have.

724
00:36:17,599 --> 00:36:18,039
Speaker 2: But to be.

725
00:36:18,039 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 8: Surrounded by this caliber of young women day in and

726
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,000
day out that want to do things the right way

727
00:36:23,039 --> 00:36:26,280
and represent this university the way they do is uh

728
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,400
is really a privilege and an honor for me coach.

729
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 4: What's been the best part about this team? Coaching this team?

730
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,320
Every team's got their own identity, their own personality, their

731
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,119
own DNA and you've had some good ones, of course,

732
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:44,280
But what's been the best part about being with these

733
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:45,079
ladies this year?

734
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 8: Well, I think they from the from the first meet,

735
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:53,239
they've they've demonstrated that they're fighters and that they they're

736
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,440
they're very proud of what they represent and a lot

737
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,960
of that goes back to what I just said, they

738
00:36:59,039 --> 00:37:02,599
represent each other there. One of the things they've repeated

739
00:37:02,639 --> 00:37:04,400
and that we repeat a lot, is that we honor

740
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,079
each other with our actions and not our words. And UH.

741
00:37:07,119 --> 00:37:09,559
And they've they've spent a lot of time investing in

742
00:37:09,559 --> 00:37:14,159
one another, uh, really growing their relationships outside of the gym, which,

743
00:37:14,199 --> 00:37:17,280
as you guys know, UH, particularly in the more classic

744
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,639
team sports, is super important. That locker room, in the

745
00:37:19,679 --> 00:37:23,119
chemistry that you can provide that you get is super

746
00:37:23,119 --> 00:37:25,519
important to the success of a team. And it's and

747
00:37:25,599 --> 00:37:27,599
believe it or not, it is in our sport too,

748
00:37:27,679 --> 00:37:31,920
which which is seemingly an individual sport that that you

749
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,760
wouldn't think that matters a whole lot. It does. And

750
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,440
I've been part of teams that had no business thinking

751
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,639
they could win a championship and they did because of that.

752
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,519
And I've been part of teams that should have run

753
00:37:42,559 --> 00:37:46,199
off and left everybody and didn't because they didn't have that.

754
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,039
And I'm just proud of this team for investing in

755
00:37:49,079 --> 00:37:51,599
one another, spending the time with one another, getting to

756
00:37:51,679 --> 00:37:54,599
know what makes each other tick, what are the possible

757
00:37:54,639 --> 00:37:56,719
what are the things that could divide them so that

758
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,639
they don't and and that they've they really put on

759
00:37:59,679 --> 00:38:03,239
a great effort into those relationships and prioritize one another

760
00:38:03,639 --> 00:38:06,079
over outside things that that could get in the way,

761
00:38:06,159 --> 00:38:08,440
so that that's one of the biggest things I'm proud of.

762
00:38:08,679 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 4: Well, I can tell you, for LSU fans, what y'all

763
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,360
do certainly does matter in this community.

764
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:13,559
Speaker 3: It does.

765
00:38:13,559 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 4: I can tell you got two little girls that did gymnastics,

766
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,440
and there's about there are so many gymnastic places for

767
00:38:19,639 --> 00:38:21,920
little girls to go in Baton Rouge, and I only

768
00:38:22,079 --> 00:38:24,639
I can only contribute that to the success and the

769
00:38:24,679 --> 00:38:27,880
popularity that your team has within this community. So it

770
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,440
certainly does matter. Coach, I wanted to ask you. I

771
00:38:31,639 --> 00:38:35,800
asked this to Jay Johnson last week. Well, of course

772
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,960
there's a new coaching hire with the men's basketball team

773
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,960
gonna be playing in the same building where your team.

774
00:38:41,599 --> 00:38:43,079
Speaker 8: Some say it's a new hire, some.

775
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 3: Old I guess, yeah, yeah. But coach, what's it like

776
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:53,199
to coach a successful program at a school that cares

777
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,559
so much about the product that puts out on the

778
00:38:56,559 --> 00:38:59,760
field or the court or the floor, and it does

779
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,039
all the resources and everything that it goes into it

780
00:39:03,159 --> 00:39:05,599
will support you, guys and every single way. What does

781
00:39:05,639 --> 00:39:07,519
it mean to be a coach here at LSU.

782
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 8: I can't think of I can't think of about it

783
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,199
I've done it, and I've only done it in two places,

784
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,480
and both of them in the conference Once. Once was

785
00:39:16,519 --> 00:39:18,679
my album of honor. But I'm going to tell you

786
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,360
something right now, and I kind of echo what Will said.

787
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,639
You know, Louisiana and LSU is home for me now

788
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,480
and and it's different, you know, And I know that

789
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,159
Laye has coined that, and everybody's just talking about it's

790
00:39:31,199 --> 00:39:36,960
just different. It that's maybe that's a catchphrase. Whatever, It's real,

791
00:39:37,519 --> 00:39:42,280
and it's contagious. And the culture here drives that, and

792
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,679
the personalities of our coaches drive that. We're We're not

793
00:39:47,119 --> 00:39:50,000
we're not always the easiest people. We're not the people

794
00:39:50,039 --> 00:39:52,280
that you know our coaching. Our coaches here at LSU

795
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,039
don't take no for an answer very well, and we

796
00:39:56,119 --> 00:39:59,760
attract that kind of personality. We're all fighters, we're all competitive,

797
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,679
we all all want to win, and we all take

798
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,960
a great deal of pride in what we do and

799
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,599
this university and this state and what it represents. And

800
00:40:08,159 --> 00:40:11,239
it's just something that I think it's it's cyclical. If

801
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,480
it all feeds. I'm I'm I'm part of a sport

802
00:40:14,559 --> 00:40:16,960
that you know, in most places doesn't get a whole

803
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,960
lot of attention, but it does here and uh, and

804
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:24,599
that's that's just an amazing testament to not only the

805
00:40:24,679 --> 00:40:26,400
support that we have at l s U, but to

806
00:40:26,559 --> 00:40:29,400
Louisiana and particularly South Louisiana as a whole.

807
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 3: Uh.

808
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 8: They're just supportive and they want, they want to they

809
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,320
want to be part of a winner, and and it's

810
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,960
it's it's an incredible situation to be a part of.

811
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:42,239
This is my last stop. I'm gonna retire here and uh,

812
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,679
and I'm excited about what this team is capable of

813
00:40:44,679 --> 00:40:46,880
doing this weekend. But we need the fans to get

814
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,199
their butts in the seat. I can't say that too often.

815
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 3: That's right, Go get the butts in those seats. Good

816
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:52,800
to take us. Uh.

817
00:40:53,159 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 4: Thursday night, seven pm, l s U takes the floor

818
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:01,039
and then they advance. It will be Saturday at five pm.

819
00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:02,880
So go get him in. Coach, I know exactly what

820
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,000
you're saying. I'm just a boy born and raised in

821
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,239
Texas and Louisiana's home now, so I completely get it.

822
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,639
Speaker 3: And we appreciate the time. And good luck to your

823
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:11,719
ladies and.

824
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,679
Speaker 8: Go kick some butt, all right, guys, I appreciate you

825
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:15,880
all having us all take care.

842
00:42:01,639 --> 00:42:04,199
the show, so stick with us right here, off the

843
00:42:05,199 --> 00:42:11,159
off the bench, all right. Emerson heating and air. Uh

844
00:42:11,199 --> 00:42:15,320
it is getting close to close the summer. So you

845
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,480
know what that means. Well, there's a lot of heat coming.

846
00:42:18,199 --> 00:42:20,280
About a week and a half ago, Emerson came out

847
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:24,119
to the house. Old DJ came out there and checked

848
00:42:24,159 --> 00:42:26,039
out everything. So if you need to check up on

849
00:42:26,119 --> 00:42:29,559
all of your all your air conditions, be ready because

850
00:42:29,639 --> 00:42:31,440
it always goes out at the wrong time. If you're

851
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,039
not prepared for the heat, if that air condition isn't

852
00:42:34,079 --> 00:42:36,400
ready to start humming, well, it always goes out at

853
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:37,719
the wrong time. It's going to be like the hottest

854
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:39,199
day of the summer too when it goes out. So

855
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,280
make sure everything is up and running. You got the
