170
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 6: Yep, okay, so we go, we see the president do

171
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:16,360
that deal.

172
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 5: We come back and we land, I want to say,

173
00:08:21,279 --> 00:08:24,680
like thirty minutes before our game is supposed to be

174
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:25,399
like plan.

175
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: So we're like yeah and real quick. We we took

176
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,959
this very serious. It wasn't real softball, not like serious,

177
00:08:31,959 --> 00:08:34,080
like we were out there practicing and we're but like

178
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,720
we had so much fun doing it that we didn't miss.

179
00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:39,879
Speaker 6: We weren't there for just s and g's. We were there.

180
00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were there to play and like we were

181
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,159
all baseball players growing up. So it was like a

182
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,480
little way to like flex or muscles, scratch that edge,

183
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,200
a pind of glove on and blah blah blah.

184
00:08:49,759 --> 00:08:49,879
Speaker 3: Uh.

185
00:08:49,919 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 5: So we get there about thirty minutes, so, like we

186
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:54,679
get to our cars and we raced to the park

187
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,240
and I Am not kidding you when I tell you.

188
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,240
We show up like a yeah for this game, and

189
00:09:03,639 --> 00:09:08,360
the hard ohs that were working innermural Softball they were like, no,

190
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,279
y'all missed the fifteen minute cut off, late cutoff, blah

191
00:09:12,279 --> 00:09:16,279
blah blah, you can't play. And the other team's sitting

192
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,120
there like, hey, Bud, we're here, let's just play the game.

193
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,120
It's the last game of the night too. Yeah, well

194
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,320
let's play. We're cool with it.

195
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 4: Five minutes late, they were at the White House and

196
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,159
we were.

197
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,039
Speaker 5: Like we were like, like I just said, we were

198
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,399
meeting the leader of the free world and shaking his

199
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,720
hand because of the national championship.

200
00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

201
00:09:35,159 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 5: Then we brought this school and we started and we

202
00:09:38,639 --> 00:09:42,279
started arguing, and well we lost the argument. The guy's

203
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,360
just turned the whole the lights off to the whole field.

204
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

205
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 5: And uh, Kyle Williams, I've never seen him like real mad,

206
00:09:49,919 --> 00:09:52,879
but he was like I dare you to turn the

207
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,399
lights out right now and make it dark with me

208
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:57,240
near you.

209
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 6: Anyway, long story short, I.

210
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: Can I can hear Kyle saying ye, like so many

211
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,080
condescending and like, guy, like you were like I know,

212
00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:14,080
until you get it on the field, but like we

213
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,440
were pretty fired up. Yeah, so what a big ill

214
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,799
that guy's And he's very witty too, so I can

215
00:10:19,879 --> 00:10:23,360
imagine what he was saying to him. So we needless

216
00:10:23,399 --> 00:10:28,399
to say, our arguments were futile. LSU football Tigers in

217
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,159
a real softball team two thousand and three took an

218
00:10:30,279 --> 00:10:33,600
l that day due to forfeiture for being five minutes late,

219
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,559
and then we got beating the semi finals that year.

220
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:38,879
Speaker 4: We always play the same team.

221
00:10:38,919 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 5: We always ran into that damn team that I swear

222
00:10:42,279 --> 00:10:44,840
they were putting racquetballs in the barrels of their bad

223
00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:49,080
like I'd be was like I was at center field,

224
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,440
and like I would be sitting there playing the same team,

225
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,080
and I would just.

226
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,519
Speaker 6: They'd hit the ball and I'd run to the fence

227
00:10:55,639 --> 00:10:55,840
and I.

228
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,399
Speaker 5: Would just like look up at it and it was

229
00:10:57,399 --> 00:10:59,840
still like forty feet over my head and I could

230
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:04,000
hear going, Yeah.

231
00:11:04,039 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 2: I mean, we had a Major League Baseball, someone who

232
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,960
played in the big leagues at shortstop.

233
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,399
Speaker 6: Opening it started, he was second base for the Toronto.

234
00:11:10,159 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 4: Blue Jays and he was impressed.

235
00:11:11,919 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, like just Pepper in the sorority houses with home runs.

236
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:18,039
Speaker 6: Anyway, we lost.

237
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, all like every year that I played to the

238
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:21,399
same team, and.

239
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,279
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure it was the guys that worked.

240
00:11:23,879 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 5: It was it was it was the intermural that worked,

241
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,559
the innermural fields. It was hard as that made us

242
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,559
forfeit because we were meeting the president. Yeah, you know

243
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,000
who you are. You know you are definitely listening Arry

244
00:11:35,039 --> 00:11:38,279
to turn those lights out? How would those lights would

245
00:11:38,279 --> 00:11:41,799
have stayed on all night? So had Peter Daikowski on

246
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,320
the team, It's a big Canadian. JV was on the team.

247
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,080
I'm trying to think. I was trying to like, I

248
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,399
didn't know we were going to talk about this. I

249
00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:49,559
was like trying to think of the roster.

250
00:11:49,919 --> 00:11:53,639
Speaker 4: Jason Spaedoni, Ryan Willis, Ryan Willis was on the team.

251

282
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,399

283
00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:34,759

284
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,799
Speaker 2: Us he was sitting in front of. Us he was

285
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,480

289
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,480
well head. Smooch, YEP i think, That. ELANDRA i think

290
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,360
a couple of weeks ago you sent that picture of

291
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,399
me And jake and an. AIRPLANE i think, that BUT.

292
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 2: I think somebody sent it to me after they found

293
00:13:59,879 --> 00:14:01,559
out we were doing the show. TOGETHER i think that

294
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,279
might have been. That that was the white that was,

295
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,279
white that was The White house.

296
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,879
Speaker 6: Trip, yeah so, THAT i, mean what do you that'd be.

297
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 4: Kind of weird IF i just had like a random picture.

298
00:14:10,799 --> 00:14:14,799
Speaker 5: Of, y'all well obvious it was a, screenshot, certainly don't

299
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:15,840
it would be.

300
00:14:15,879 --> 00:14:16,919
Speaker 4: Weird so.

301
00:14:17,039 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 5: Weird but that was when We, yeah they came on

302
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,440
because like back in the. Day you certainly weren't like

303
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,440
connected any on Air WiFi or anything over that wasn't an,

304
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:28,639
overpriced Terrible Wi.

307
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,559
Speaker 5: Seats, yeah so the pilot was getting the updates from you,

given it to.

310
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,399
Speaker 2: Ground controls, like, hey my, god you should probably just

Did flynn know?

395
00:19:08,559 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 6: THIS i actually.

396
00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 5: Did we were talking about it. Before, okay because uh

397
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,039
this this is not a opinion THAT i made up.

398
00:19:19,079 --> 00:19:21,559
MYSELF i was listening to the show on the way

399
00:19:21,599 --> 00:19:23,920
in here and they said that The pelicans did something.

400
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 6: DUMB i don't know if that's.

401
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 2: True all, Right so, okay so they Draft Jeremiah fears

402
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,240
out Of oklahoma with their original seventh pick that they,

403
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,640
had and a lot of people are hoping that they,

404
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,599
get you, know better than seven because of how their record.

405
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 4: Was but that's sometimes the draft.

406
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 2: Lottery but then you packaged the pick that you had

407
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,680
later on in this draft with next year's first round,

408
00:19:50,759 --> 00:19:55,039
pick and you move up to Select Derek queen out Of. Maryland,

409
00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,319
Now Derek queen's a very athletic Big Derek. Queen it's

410
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,279
a really good basketball. Player Derek queen was one that

411
00:20:03,519 --> 00:20:05,559
got really hot at the end of the year last,

412
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,160
year made a run With maryland as one of the

413
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,599
better players in the country by the end of last.

414
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,480
Year but now you don't have any first round picks

415
00:20:16,599 --> 00:20:21,000
in twenty twenty. Six you gotta be good this year

416
00:20:21,079 --> 00:20:23,759
because if you end up making the, playoffs then that's

417
00:20:23,799 --> 00:20:26,400
not a lottery. Pick, okay, whatever it's THE. Nba once

418
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,880
you get past the, lottery who the hell. Knows that's

419
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,119
just the way THE nba draft. Is but you had

420
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,799
to Love queen a lot to get rid of your

421
00:20:34,839 --> 00:20:35,559
picks for next.

422
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 6: Year it just reeks of this. Guy we have him

423
00:20:42,319 --> 00:20:47,039
graded as a top five guy or a top eight. Guy,

424
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,079
yeah and nobody else is seeing it but.

425
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,279
Speaker 5: Us so you make that move to move up ten

426
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,079
places to give up your chance for a high lottery next,

427
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,759
year which is What i'm hearing is a much better

428
00:21:00,079 --> 00:21:00,680
last next.

429
00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:01,759
Speaker 6: Year it is this.

430
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 2: Class this class was very top. Heavy BUT i will say,

431
00:21:05,559 --> 00:21:08,440
This queen's a really good basketball. Player he's still a

432
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,640
little bit, wrong but he is a very athletic BIG

433
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,000
i think for, me like the one thing That i've

434
00:21:14,039 --> 00:21:16,880
got a question is do you think you're going to

435
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:17,440
be good next?

436
00:21:17,519 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 4: YEAR i think you do.

437
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 6: THIS i think after this, move you better make the playoffs.

438
00:21:22,599 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 4: To do, this and it's.

439
00:21:23,759 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 2: Unprotected that's the thing that's a little bit. Surprising so

440
00:21:28,319 --> 00:21:32,640
you move up to. THIRTEEN espn Dot com Had queen

441
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,440
as the fourteenth ranked player in this, draft so like

442
00:21:35,599 --> 00:21:39,599
where he was, drafted it makes. Sense and if it

443
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,400
was your only picking a, DRAFT i don't think anybody

444
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,680
would say. Anything but it's because you moved up ten

445
00:21:45,759 --> 00:21:50,160
spots you give up next year to select somebody who

446
00:21:50,839 --> 00:21:54,240
he's listed as a. Sinner he's six', nine now it's

447
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:55,920
two hundred and forty, eight pounds and he's every bit.

448
00:21:56,039 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 4: Of it BUT like, i said he is a little.

449
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,440
Bit wrong is a potential play more.

450
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:07,039
Speaker 6: Than anything not a great, Defender either like he, could score.

451
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 4: He didn't have, A, length yeah not to not to

452
00:22:10,759 --> 00:22:12,720
play you know the position that he's going to try.

453
00:22:12,759 --> 00:22:12,799
Speaker 3: To.

454
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 4: Play now he's got the, athletic ABILITY but i don't

455
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,119
know that he has. The lenk.

456
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 7: He's more of the wing, the four which, Is fine

457
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:22,799
LIKE eve mesi actually.

458
00:22:22,599 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 6: Wanted to be a pretty. Good pick he was.

459
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 7: Twenty, one, like sure he'll probably be. Your center you

460
00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:28,599
can get a, six nine six to ten guy on,

461
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,960
the wing like he can. SHOOT it i just worry about.

462
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,759
His defense it's like you don't really have a defender,

463
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,640
out there like With With murray hurt for the, Foreseeable

464
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,319
future like you don't really have a guy out there

465
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:41,000
that can play a lot.

466
00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 2: Of defense the one thing that that makes me a

467
00:22:43,519 --> 00:22:48,359
little bit Nervous whenever i'm breaking down the pick and

468
00:22:48,519 --> 00:22:51,720
kind of going to seeing, you know what the bio

469
00:22:52,039 --> 00:22:54,039
kind of look like according to some of the, different

470
00:22:54,079 --> 00:22:56,200
EXPERTS because i did watch him play and he's a very,

471
00:22:56,279 --> 00:22:58,599
good PLAYER as, i SAID like i can see the.

472
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,279
Skill set he a little bit of a, tweener before,

473
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,039
you know between a four and. A five but every

474
00:23:04,279 --> 00:23:08,400
draft PROFILE that i looked at, it, said like improving

475
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,039
his conditioning will help him on the.

476
00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:15,559
Speaker 4: Defensive end so he's lazy and as someone.

477
00:23:15,319 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 2: Who breaks Down, the pelicans Watches, the, pelicans right you've

478
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,359
you've got a situation we always talk About with zion

479
00:23:22,839 --> 00:23:26,400
and staying healthy and keeping his weight down and being. In,

480
00:23:26,519 --> 00:23:30,799
shape like, oh no that's the one thing like you

481
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,839
really didn't want to see on a. Draft profile, was

482
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,559
like if he can improve, his conditioning his defense will.

483
00:23:35,599 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 4: Go, up.

484
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,079
Speaker 5: Yeah THAT is, i mean it doesn't matter what sport.

485
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:46,079
It is if that's part of, your profile the way people,

486
00:23:46,279 --> 00:23:49,519
VIEW you i mean that's usually it's going to mean

487
00:23:49,559 --> 00:23:52,960
that he's been a little immature and lazy to. This

488
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,880
point now that can, always flip that, could change, but

489
00:23:57,039 --> 00:23:58,640
yeah it was always you don't want to have that.

490
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,640
Stig money if he can, get in if he can

491
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,039
be in, better shape if he can, you know drop.

492
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,759
Some what but if whatever, it is it's uh and

493
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,240
that's usually a pretty big. Red flag but like to

494
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,960
move up and, take him like like, YOU said espn

495
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,440
had himranked to, The fourteenth we took him to.

496
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 6: The Thirteenth, pat hey this like you see it in.

497
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,319
All drafts it doesn't matter what sport.

498
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 5: It is is general managers scouts they DON'T always i

499
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:28,519
mean they don't really LOOK at espn what whatever Side

500
00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:30,319
of they don't look. AT that i think they probably.

501
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,480
Compare it i'm sure, they're there, especially nowadays they're way

502
00:24:33,759 --> 00:24:35,039
more aware of it they than.

503
00:24:35,079 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 2: They. WERE sure, I mean i, don't know there's that

504
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,640
clip back in. The day who the Hell Is male

505
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,920
kuiper from the colt.

506
00:24:42,039 --> 00:24:45,039
Speaker 5: To, right yeah but like they're going to put their

507
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,720
grades on every single individual person from the first round

508
00:24:49,759 --> 00:24:51,839
to the last round whatever. It is like, WE like

509
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,960
i remember after AFTER the nfl drafts, our year it

510
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,960
was afterwards you got your agent would start, telling you,

511
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,680
all right you Know the panthers had you had a fourth, Round,

512
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,279
Grade yeah patriots had you at a six.

513
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,279
Speaker 6: Or seven these guys had you as an.

514
00:25:07,519 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 5: Undrafted guy like everybody has, their grades and then the

515
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,640
first different forty times on you because at, the combine

516
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,440
because they trusted their guy at the, finish line which

517
00:25:16,519 --> 00:25:18,680
is the stupidest thing in. The world i'm gonna trust

518
00:25:18,759 --> 00:25:22,799
my guy that's like forty five. Rows up, they, do though.

519
00:25:23,279 --> 00:25:26,000
They do everybody has Their, little stopwise, it's, like hey

520
00:25:26,079 --> 00:25:28,279
there's actual laser beams that are timing.

521
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 4: These things, but.

522
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 5: Anyway like this just says At the pelicans scouts they put,

523
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,640
a Grade and i'm sure in the first round there's

524
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,440
like it's way. More detailed they probably had a grade that, was,

525
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,920
like hey this guy's, you know a five.

526
00:25:41,799 --> 00:25:44,839
Speaker 6: To eight guy. For, us yeah and if we can

527
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,119
get them, at thirteen we make.

528
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,799
Speaker 5: The move and that's that's really the only REASONING that

529
00:25:49,839 --> 00:25:51,759
i would see behind it is like he just at

530
00:25:51,839 --> 00:25:54,519
that spot. For them based on their pre, draft grades

531
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,599
he was way he was getting picked. Way, too, wait

532
00:25:58,759 --> 00:26:00,519
yeah they had him much higher.

533
00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 2: Than fourteen we'll Break Down jeremiah fears you Get, from

534
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,519
oklahoma he is probably going to start out the season

535
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,720
as you're starting point Guard, BECAUSE murray, i mean that's,

536
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,759
you know an injury that's going to take.

537
00:26:12,079 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 4: Some time he will not be there for the start of.

538
00:26:14,319 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 2: The season, of course You Have jose alvarado there as

539
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,240
your backup, point Guard but fears is going to be

540
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,920
your starting POINT guard i would assume to start. The

541
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,440
season best ball handler probably in. This draft will break

542
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,079
his pick down a little bit.

00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:27,599

00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,319
the program, is now to see them win eight, national

603
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:40,559

604
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:40,680

00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,640
you know and they were the class OF the sec

612
00:30:01,799 --> 00:30:04,119
and some guy by the Name of berkman TOOK over

613
00:30:04,319 --> 00:30:07,119
lsu in nineteen eighty six and or, EIGHTY five i,

614
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,200
Should SAY and i, was, LIKE man i, don't KNOW

615
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,079
because i WAS considering Lsu at ole Miss Or, mississippi

616
00:30:12,079 --> 00:30:13,720
state and then all of, A sudden, i said you,

617
00:30:13,759 --> 00:30:15,519
Know what i'm gonna get, This guy berkman, a chance,

618
00:30:15,599 --> 00:30:17,599
you know and he was to The College little series

619
00:30:17,799 --> 00:30:19,839

620
00:30:19,839 --> 00:30:22,079
Being okay i'm. Gonna GO but i to ask you.

621
00:30:22,119 --> 00:30:24,799
A question i don't KNOW if i saw. THIS coming

622
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,559
i take you back TO when lsu won his first,

623
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,680
national title and the Belief Of skip berkman and what

624
00:30:31,839 --> 00:30:34,000
he instilled in all of us and the guys would

625
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,799
come even, after me was we're supposed To And louis

626
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,079
garcia on the dog PILE and lsu won his first

627
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,640
national title in, ninety one look At, coach, burma, said coach.

628
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,640
We won we, Finally Won And coach burtman simply Looked

629
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,599
At louis garcia, And, said louis we're supposed. To win

630
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,799
and that was the mindset that began back then and

631
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,599
If skip berman calls our years the building, block years

632
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,440
it was a building block years to what would eventually

633
00:30:58,559 --> 00:31:01,400
come down. The road, but look it's, so hard as you, guys,

634
00:31:01,519 --> 00:31:03,519
know man and, you know there's been, this DEBATE and

635
00:31:03,599 --> 00:31:06,039
i brought this up and people looked at them sideways Back, at,

636
00:31:06,039 --> 00:31:08,839
omaha say, you KNOW if lsu wins their eighth, national

637
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,480
title are we going to start TALKING about lsu that's

638
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,640
the greatest program in the last, Forty years because, that's

639
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,279
easy like that's a. Done deal but maybe the greatest

640
00:31:17,319 --> 00:31:20,480
program in the history of. College baseball and that's a

641
00:31:20,599 --> 00:31:24,240
MOUTHFUL because usc has twelve. Of THEM but usc won

642
00:31:25,079 --> 00:31:28,640
a level of their, twelve titles, you know back, forty

643
00:31:28,799 --> 00:31:31,000
well actually stick to here seventy years ago as one

644
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,519
of the majority. OF them ki they've only won one

645
00:31:32,599 --> 00:31:34,920
national title in the last. FORTY years lsu had eighth

646
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,240
in the last. Forty years but when you consider the

647
00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:39,880
big picture of putting fannies in the seats and the

648
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,640
stadiums that have been built because Of, skip BERTMAN and

649
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,799
i don't think he gets. Enough credit people around here

650
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,680
know who, he is But skip bertman is. College baseball

651
00:31:47,759 --> 00:31:50,559
he's the one that began all this that you see

652
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,839
now in these great cathedrals in college baseball around, the

653
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,519
country people come. To ballparks it Was because skip's had

654
00:31:56,559 --> 00:31:59,599
a vision on what college baseball. Could be if you,

655
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,279
you know if you go ahead and you, built it

656
00:32:02,359 --> 00:32:04,119
you could have put a good product on. The field

657
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,599
this is kind of what it, would be. You Know

658
00:32:05,759 --> 00:32:08,920
and i'm so Happy For jay johnson and and what

659
00:32:09,039 --> 00:32:10,839
he's been able to accomplish in a time that's so

660
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,160
difficult to win, right now and you win two national

661
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,240
titles in, three, years man two since he's been THERE

662

HE does.

677
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,119
Speaker 4: I agree with.

678
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 2: You Wholeheartedly like i've said the SAME thing, i said,

679
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,119
you know playing Four. COACH saban I told jay this

680
00:32:56,559 --> 00:32:58,519
not two. WEEKS ago i, was, like coach you're the

681
00:32:58,599 --> 00:33:01,559
closest Thing To nick saban've ever seen in. Any sport

682
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,200
and you're exactly right There In, jay Johnson somebody i've

683
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,359
known all the way back when he was an Assistant

684
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,119
at University Of san diego and just continues to. Impress

685
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,960
me but what you SAID about lsu being the best

686
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,960
baseball program of, ALL time i completely agree, with you

687
00:33:16,079 --> 00:33:18,880
not because, we're biased but because when you look at

688
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,680
what they've done and when they've. Done it because there's

689
00:33:21,759 --> 00:33:24,519
so many teams and so many schools now that are

690
00:33:24,559 --> 00:33:27,200
heavily invested. In baseball, you know there was a time

691
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,240
where it. Was regional it was in, the southeast it

692
00:33:29,359 --> 00:33:32,240
was In. Southern california that's who really cared. About, It,

693
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,799
now ben there's a lot of people that care. ABOUT

694
00:33:34,799 --> 00:33:37,119
it i mean it's across. The country there. Is Programs

695
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,920
The big ten has programs that care. About it we

696
00:33:40,039 --> 00:33:42,559
never thought that we'd really see That the, big TWELVE

697
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,680
the SEC and acc, of course but you know it's

698
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,880
no longer just The big West. OUT west, i mean

699
00:33:47,279 --> 00:33:50,799
there's Teams in Oregon And oregon state that really care about.

700
00:33:50,839 --> 00:33:54,599
College baseball so, for me that's what makes LSU's run

701
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,160
over the last thirty five years forty years so impressive

702
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,599
is because the buy in from everybody else and they

703
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:00,400
still continue.

704
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,599
Speaker 8: To, thrive no that's that's one hundred. PERCENT correct, i

705
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,160
Mean and i'm not taking anything Away From, rod dado who,

706
00:34:06,359 --> 00:34:08,840
you know won those CHAMPIONSHIPS. At usc but there was

707
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,159
a time back in those days where if you were

708
00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:12,920
any good as a, ball player that's kind of where.

709
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,480
You went, you know you Went Out, west coast You

710
00:34:14,519 --> 00:34:16,800
Played west. Coast baseball that's where all the studs came

711
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,360
from back in. Those days but the pair did. The,

712
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,519
game now like you, said that people investing in these

713
00:34:22,599 --> 00:34:25,480
awesome stadiums and you got the nil stuff, going on

714
00:34:25,559 --> 00:34:27,079
and you got a lot of stuff. Going, on man

715
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,400
nobody can make the argument to me that it's not

716
00:34:29,559 --> 00:34:31,480
twice as hard to win one of the last forty

717
00:34:31,559 --> 00:34:33,840
years as what it was the previous. Forty years, you

718
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,719
know it's just it's a lot harder, to win and

719
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,239
so TO ce lsu doing what. They're, Doing man and

720
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,079
we don't say this like, you said because we PLAYED

721
00:34:40,119 --> 00:34:42,719
at lsu and WE. Love lsu you say it because what,

722
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,679
YOU see, i mean you, see it, you know you

723
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,480
see eight national titles and, you, Go, wow man it's

724
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,280
hard to believe it's happened. Like, this, Look man i'm

725
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,400
so happy That coach bergman. Was there he flew in to.

726
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,239
See it you guys probably saw HIM. On TV and

727
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,119
i was so glad that he flew in to, see that.

728
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,679
You know and so it's a hell of, a. Run

729
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,400
man and expectations are always what they ARE, at lsu

730
00:35:01,559 --> 00:35:03,760
and to go out and Get, to omaha that's always,

731
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,119
the goal and. To WIN and I, think lsu now

732
00:35:06,159 --> 00:35:08,440
guys has been in, the finals have played the championship

733
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,960
game nine times Out. In omaha in the history of,

734
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,360
the program they wanted. EIGHT times i think that speaks

735
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,960
volumes to if you, get there we're, gonna win and

736
00:35:16,039 --> 00:35:17,760
we know how. To win and the ones that it

737
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,119
came before us. One before so there's no. Reason why

738
00:35:20,159 --> 00:35:21,920
because somebody asked me that on another show the, other

739
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,960
day what is IT? About lsu what is it about

740
00:35:25,079 --> 00:35:27,360
them Going to omaha? AND winning, i said it's. A

741
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,280
belief it's been instilled in these kids that they're supposed

742
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,880
to and you're supposed. To win when you GET to

743
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,599
lsu and there's a belief that, you can, you know And,

744
00:35:35,679 --> 00:35:38,159
YOU yeah i hate to see the Meltdown. FROM arkansas

745
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,280
i Felt like, arkansas had, you know honestly as good

746
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:42,960
or better team THAN what. Lsu did but the best

747
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,920
team don't, always, Win man it's a team that plays,

748
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,480
the best, And boy arkansas just unfortunately melted down in that.

749
00:35:48,559 --> 00:35:51,400
One ending BUT give lsu credit for putting pressure on

750
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,719
them and forcing Those Unforced arizona arkansas to win a

751
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,679
national championship and get There against coastal who had a

752
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,599
hell of. A, TEAM man, I mean coastal could. Really

753
00:35:59,679 --> 00:36:02,320
PITCH but lsu was, just. Better dude they were just

754
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,239
better Than what. Coastal.

755
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,119
Speaker 6: Was yeah been hearing you Talk.

756
00:36:05,199 --> 00:36:09,280

00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,719
himself and in a day where a lot of head

764
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,880
coaches are a little bit me, me me kind, of

765
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,119

they've built, and done he always takes time to make

767
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,840
sure that he honors, the past Honors what skip has

768
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,199
done and what he's MEANT to lsu baseball and just

769
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,239
college baseball. In GENERAL and i don't, want, TO like

770
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:45,880

771
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,760

772
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:52,880
But jay johnson's job? Going forward what is what's the

773
00:36:53,079 --> 00:36:57,599
expectation FOR the? Salesu program two championships in, four years

774
00:36:57,639 --> 00:37:01,920
an unprecedented, feat here, all right what's the how does

Speaker 8: Build, SUCCESS yeah i mean that's a, great QUESTION and

780
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,440
i think it's more, the same, you know and to

781
00:37:18,559 --> 00:37:20,639
your Point, About skip and this is one of the

782
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,320
MANY things i Love. About jay He's embraced He's Embraced.

783
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,280
Skip bertman he's embraced. The history, and again this IS what.

784
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,760
I love jay understands, the history and more important, than

785
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,360
that he wants his players to know the history of

786
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,599
this program and, the blood, the sweat and the tears

787
00:37:36,639 --> 00:37:38,440
that went into all this to get to. That point,

788
00:37:38,519 --> 00:37:40,719
you know that's the Difference Between. Jay johnson i'm not

789
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,719
gonna mention any other coaches that COACH, at lsu but

790
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:48,079
others didn't embrace the HISTORY of Lsu Like jay. Johnson

791
00:37:48,159 --> 00:37:49,920
did he didn't try to run and be his. Own

792
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,960
man He Embraced skip bertman And What skip, bertman built,

793
00:37:53,079 --> 00:37:55,239
you know and the best potential to me is Always

794
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,079
WE and i love the fact That did jay Talk

795
00:37:58,199 --> 00:38:01,519
to skip after every. Weekend series they would get together

796
00:38:01,599 --> 00:38:04,079
for lunch every week On, a tuesday and they would

797
00:38:04,119 --> 00:38:06,679
talk about what happened, that weekend what was going to

798
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,960
happen the. Next weekend he would bump things Off. The

799
00:38:09,039 --> 00:38:12,679
skip he'd gather information anything. He could And so jay

800
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,280
has embraced the Legacy Of skip BURTON and i tried

801
00:38:16,599 --> 00:38:18,320
to be his own guy in a lot. Of ways although,

802
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,320
He is he's done it a little bit, different way

803
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,760
and he's getting his. Dude now but if, you know

804
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,920
to answer your question about WHAT does ja need to,

805
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,920

That about jay and. His staff they're. So, HUNGRY look

827
00:39:16,039 --> 00:39:18,079
I Think nate yesky's the best pitching coach in the

828
00:39:18,119 --> 00:39:20,000
country than what he did this year is the best

829
00:39:20,039 --> 00:39:22,800
team era. SINCE fifteen, i mean look at the Growth

830
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,559
Of kate anderson. And Others, JOSH jordan i think is

831
00:39:25,559 --> 00:39:27,920
the best recruiting coordinator. Out there what they do this

832
00:39:28,039 --> 00:39:29,960
is a hell of a, team guy not, just players

833
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,280
but the. Coaching staff, You, know scott we're hiring. You

834
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,960
KNOW and i Remember asking scott, five years four YEARS garus,

835
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,920
i said what was It About? JAY johnson i, knew

836
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,719
him but tell me what blew your? Doors off, He,

837
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,960
Said ben i've set In With, nick Say but i've

838
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,039
set in with a lot of other coaches. On interviews

839
00:39:44,159 --> 00:39:48,119
it was the best COACHES interview i had ever been a.

840
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,800
Part of he said he had a, Game Plan jay.

841
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,079
Johnson did he walked into my office and told me

842
00:39:53,199 --> 00:39:54,960
exactly how he was going to, do it and he

843
00:39:55,039 --> 00:39:56,480
was going TO bring lsu back to the top of.

844
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,800
The mountain, he said that's exactly what, he did, he

845
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:00,760
said he just blew. My DOORS so i think it

846
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,559
speaks Volume of jay's hungry. To win as you, guys

847
00:40:04,639 --> 00:40:06,599
know he has. No kids those boys on the field

848
00:40:06,599 --> 00:40:09,199
of that purple, and gold those are. His kids he's

849
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,719
invested in them every day and he loves them both

850
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,719
on and off. The field he's growing them into young

851
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,320
men and hell of the ball. Players too and that's as,

852
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:17,960
a parent that's all you can. Ask FOR so i

853
00:40:18,039 --> 00:40:20,480
think others will continue. To come and obviously the MORE success,

854
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,000
LSU has i think they'll have a leg up, on

855
00:40:23,119 --> 00:40:25,480
recruiting ALTHOUGH the andil is going to be a different,

856
00:40:25,519 --> 00:40:27,559
world now. You know but as you, guys KNOW but

857
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,280
i think it's going to be about getting. Players there

858
00:40:30,679 --> 00:40:33,519
continue to develop guys and you do get them, on campus.

859
00:40:33,639 --> 00:40:35,480
You know and so it's goning interesting to see what

860
00:40:35,559 --> 00:40:38,079
next year brings because typically when you win a national championship,

861
00:40:38,119 --> 00:40:40,360
in baseball the last five or six years there for the,

862
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,840
down year a Big Down church tennessee had a good a.

863
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,800
GOOD year, i mean it's a super regional. This year

864
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,079
but we Know about old Miss And missippi state where

865
00:40:47,079 --> 00:40:48,400
they won their first so they kind of went off

866
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,199
the grid for a couple OF years lsu after they

867
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,519
wanted twenty three lost in a regional, you know the,

868
00:40:52,599 --> 00:40:54,519
following year last year at. Twenty four so we'll see

869
00:40:54,519 --> 00:40:56,840
how STRONG the lsu comes back next year and what

870
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,000
they can. Put together but we, know this the expectation

871
00:40:59,079 --> 00:41:01,320
will always be, the same no doubt.
