on Monday for y'all right, right, but it does say
to me, but it does feel like Thursday a little
bit to me as well.
Speaker 6: It is.
Speaker 2: That's why it's hump Day. That is why hump Day.
Jake Flannelander tte all here with you. Flynn with his
second computer out watching the tour. We got it still
apparently going on stage seventeen twenty one, thirty seven.
Speaker 7: Somebody's listening, Olandra.
Speaker 6: My god, I remember the our guy's name Quinn Simmons,
and you don't remember his name?
Speaker 2: True, the fact that I think she passed you up.
Speaker 5: Still five stages.
Speaker 7: A lot of miles.
Speaker 2: We were talking about legs are tired, multiple of weeks
before we went to media days.
Speaker 7: Yeah, them legs be real tired right now for sure,
But you know, back to back days though I thought
they'd take days off.
Speaker 8: They take one day off.
Speaker 7: I think there's a week, right, think yeah about that.
I think there's three total rest days.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, what a lead story we're talking about.
Speaker 2: Good for them. There's nothing else going on here, Yeah yeah,
nothing else really.
Speaker 8: Osborne didn't die or anything, did retire.
Speaker 2: Jimmy Graham didn't hang them up.
Speaker 7: Nothing going on.
Speaker 5: Also, how about that getting completely overshadowed?
Speaker 8: Well, what like Tyrone did not read the.
Speaker 9: Jimmy Graham that's like surprise surprised Philip Rivers retiring right right?
Speaker 2: Well, no, I mean Jimmy, but like yes, but no,
I mean Tyron's obviously more of a surprise because we
were talking about him yesterday with Nick and his role
in the team, like kind of came out of nowhere.
But I mean, Jimmy's one of those players just like
Phillip where yeah he's retired, but teams still call true.
Speaker 9: I think once he took off canoe across the Arctic Ocean,
that was probably a.
Speaker 8: Good sign that is retirement behavior.
Speaker 5: When I saw when I saw the news and it
was like Jimmy Graham and also to retirement, I was like,
I thought he already was. Yeah, I thought he retired.
Speaker 2: Last did you did you ever officially retire?
Speaker 7: No, So I said I could announce it today if
you want.
Speaker 2: I could too. I never officially did.
Speaker 9: I think the NF like the NFL officially because I
think at like the five year mark, I think it's
just like you're you're not eligible to be an active
player or something like that.
Speaker 7: You have to get like reinstated something like that.
Speaker 9: I can't remember exactly what the rule is, the terminology is.
So they announce it, but no, maybe in thee the
third hour, maybe the third hours coming, I mean this
big news.
Speaker 5: I mean, I ain't trying to hype you up too
early today, Matt, you wouldn't played for the Colts right now, you'd.
Speaker 7: Have a shot.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that could be Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 9: Yeah they stink right, I mean you got a shot
at that wall. Isn't Anthony Richardson hurt or something?
Speaker 7: Right now? Does it matter if or not I wouldn't
through yesterday? You don't know?
Speaker 2: Did you still got it? And you're still here to
tell the tale?

Speaker 1: From Players to Legends, Hester Flynn, Breakdown, LSU Football like
only champions can.
Speaker 7: Watches this Times bomb.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back to n OTB one O four five,
ESPN Baton Rouge. And yesterday mid afternoon, I would say
some some pretty surprising news. Tyron Matthew, the honey Badger,
decided to hang up his cleats. And this was a
player that we were talking about just yesterday with Nick Underhill,
New Orleans stuff. Football knows the Saints as well as anybody,
So this kind of came out of nowhere, like nobody
really had signs. Now, if you are somebody that has
been in this situation in your later in your career,
and you go to training camp for a day, two
days or training camp is upon you and you're like, actually, no,
I'm I'm gonna go ahead and go back home. Yes,
literally talking about it. Yes, the middle is just that
week before training camp. It's just week seven week deadn't
taste is good? Year seven. I have a contract. I'm
you know, supposed to go to West Virginia. The next day,
Greenbrier said, no, no, what just not in it. My
heart's not here. And the Saints were great. They were
they were They were like, Okay, well we appreciate you
telling us, we appreciate you not coming up here, and
then two days later doing it like they.
Speaker 7: Were like we get it.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, they were, though we get it. I'm like, well,
good because it's happening.
Speaker 7: Yep.
Speaker 2: But Tyra was somebody like I was, you know, I
was the point I'm going year to year like I'm
at that point in my career, like Tyron is still
a starter, still very valuable to the team on the field,
off the field, And so this probably did surprise a
lot of people around the organization. And in the next day,
two days, we'll talk about and Saints have already made
a move. We'll talk more about what it means to
the Saints this year. But here on this show, on
this day, on this segment, we talk about what Tyron
Matthew meant to football and what he meant to the
state of Louisiana and the path that he had, like
we all know it's it's been out there, we've talked
about it before, you know, doesn't finish his college career
on the LSU football team. But the way he handled
all of that, and the one thing I've told Tyron
this in person was like the thing that I appreciate
most about him was he never pointed fingers. He never
blamed anybody else, Like any trial tribulation that he went through,
he pointed the fight himself. He took ownership of it.
And think about like what people said about him when
he's you know, that August and he's getting kicked off
the football team, and they had so many different comments
to make and there's a you know a lot of
different ways that thing could have ended up, but he
didn't allow it to. Yep, Like pretty much right after
that moment, right, he gets back to work again, takes
full ownership of what happened, makes himself a third round
pick sixty ninth overall, and then becomes an All Pro
and then becomes like one of the faces of the NFL.
Is always in the community, does all the right things,
is a mentor to young players, Like it's an incredible
story it's an incredible career. Never, like never was there
a Saturday that he was playing. And I tweeted this
out yesterday that after we got done with our walkthrough
in San Diego and that twenty eleven season, we all
huddled and I'm talking about like the entire team. We're
balling on a budget in San Diego. So we had
a couple of TVs, not a lot. We're all we're
huddled around. If LSU had a day game, we're all
watching to see what Honey Badger was going to do.
If they played a late game, We're at the snack
and we're all huddled around the TVC and what the
honey Badger was going to do. When they played Alabama
in twenty eleven, my special teams coordinator said, Hey, I
know the deal. You know the deal. We got the
Special Teams meeting to the Special Teams captain, So hide
it as best you can, but pull out that phone
and watch this game. Yeah, Like in the meeting, like
he was must watch TV and the whole team was.
Speaker 7: But I'm like, I'm sitting here watching it.
Speaker 2: It was him that was making the plays that just
everybody wanted to watch.
Speaker 9: There's a two minute, eighteen second clip that I'm watching here,
and it's just like it's highlight films with him at LSU.
Speaker 7: And because we had.
Speaker 9: Talked about yesterday, Hey, let's figure out what our favorite
play of tyrants was at LSU.
Speaker 7: And I'm watching these plays and you were so right.
It's like it was.
Speaker 9: It seemed like every single week he was making a
play that like you'd never seen before. Yeah, like you'd
never seen a player make that type of play. And
it's two minutes and eighteen seconds of those types of plays.
It's like, okay, yeah, I mean most like most great
players if you make a little highlight film and this
isn't like like ten seconds before the snap. This is
like post snap of the football, like real short clips. Yeah,
it's two minutes and eighteen seconds of him making unbelievable
plays that like these eyes had never really witnessed before
he made them, and he made them routinely, multiple per game.
I'm like, I'm watching West Virginia just showed out there
where he that's the ball down, it tips up, he
catches the score. I mean, the play making ability that
he had is will be We'll go down in history
a second to absolutely nobody. No, these highlights will are timeless,
and people fifty years from now that are playing the
game at probably a much higher level than most people
are now, just because that's the way sports progresses are
going to look.
Speaker 2: Back at this and be like, who the hell is
that guy?
Speaker 7: Hey, this guy's.
Speaker 9: Unbelievable, And what you talked about, like is his exit
from LSU. And it's a good lesson for life, Like
if you live life with honesty, you take accountability and
your sincere about what you do, Like people get it,
Like people understand that you make mistakes, especially kids, right,
especially college. Everybody makes mistake. Like if we got caught
for some of the things we don't, I mean, you
know what, there's nobody can like sit there in judgment.
Speaker 7: Right, So if you're honest and.
Speaker 9: You take accountability, people want to, Like people will welcome
you back and forgive you right, like for for that stuff.
I mean, he certainly earned it with like playmaking ability,
so I kind of had an unfair advantage there a
little bit, but like.
Speaker 7: He just did things the right way, and then he
gets into.
Speaker 9: The gets in the NFL, like you said, all pro
you know, just I mean a leader of the NFL
from a person standpoint right, never a distraction in a
bad way, like from a guy getting kicked off a
college football team.
Speaker 2: Became a mentor exactly like every young player on every
team that he was on, and.
Speaker 7: So in a sweet ass nickname.
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe the best of all time. That's why
I was like he was a badger and a goat
at the same time. Like the LSU stuff is remarkable.
Even if his career would not have prologue, like if
you don't get to the NFL, right and it stops
at LSU, he still talked about. Yep, he's still the
honey Badger. He is still He forced eleven fumbles in
one season. Eleven I mean just wild stats when he
was at l s U uh, and he recovered eight
of him by the way of the ones he forced,
he recovered eight.
Speaker 7: Of and probably scored on the majority of us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he had four interceptions, he had two
point return touchdowns. God knows how many tackles and sacks
and Haylo.
Speaker 9: Can we cue up some highlights some I don't know
what the rules are. Yeah, I'm kind of trying. I
would love to play this one I'm watching.
Speaker 2: Here, but so even if it even if it stopped.
But again, like the cool part about his story to
me is what he did and he held himself accountable
and finds his way into the NFL and you know,
doesn't get drafted the first or the second round, but
his talent was so undeniable. Was like, now we're still
going to take you in the third round and then
what he does from there because he wasn't just.
Speaker 11: Like a guy in the NFL.
Speaker 2: He was a dude. I don't think he was three
times first team All Pro.
Speaker 7: That's hard to do.
Speaker 2: He was on the All Decade team. Like Tyrone, you
make the first team All Pro three times and all
like he's gonna be in Canton maybe one day. I
mean three time first team All Pro he had in
his career. He had thirty six interceptions in his pro career,
returned four of those for touchdowns, had eleven sacks. Of course,
all he does is force fumbles, you know.
Speaker 9: What's like, So his NFL career to me was real quiet,
like because it wasn't and.
Speaker 2: Because I think it's I think because his college career
was so round.
Speaker 9: Exactly so, but three time All Pro speaks volumes, that's
so hard.
Speaker 7: It's so hard to do pro is.
Speaker 9: So the Pro Bowl is a great award, but it
like it, it doesn't hold a candle to the honor
All Pro because you can, like there's the quarter there's
so many Pro Bowl quarterbacks because you know, the top
eight didn't want to go and so you know nine
to fifteen got the invite. So like, but all Pro
is voted on believe by your about your peers. I
think it's a combination of peers, coaches, maybe AP I
don't remember, but I remember voting every single year in
the NFL, got to vote as a player, so like
it's it's a big honor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but each position grew, like we would vote. We'd
running backs, we voted for linebackers. Yeah, yeah, it's all pro. Yeah, yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 9: So we would as QB's, we'd vote for a I
think we'd vote for the whole defense probably, yeah, but
that But like I said, I thought his pro career
was kind of quiet. He just did his job and
was really good at it. And shout out to one
of the greatest of all time, certainly in an LSU uniform,
an absolute legend, did things the right way, and like
you said was absolute must see TV every single weekend.
Just made plays that like like.
Speaker 7: We're in the NFL.
Speaker 9: They were jaw dropping plays, not just from us because
we're LSU fans, but everybody on the team. Charles Woodson, Yeah,
what what look at this guy.
Speaker 2: It's like, Oh, tell me about this guy. Tell me
about this guy. And Tata and another sun. Well there's
one saying he's not a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 7: I mean, so it's all it's a great art. I mean,
I don't know.
Speaker 2: You make three three time All Pro like that first
team that's important. First team, and you make an All
Decade team and he's got the comparison up with Troy
Polamalo here. Yeah, the more interceptions, more exceptions for touchdowns,
right around the same amount of sacks, which I honestly
I would not have guessed that. More tackles, uh, more
fumble recoveries.
Speaker 7: How many seasons is this? I wonder what their season?
Speaker 2: A little bit more games there for I would not
have guessed. The more games either kind of shows you. Yeah,
like take Pro Bowl out of it, like Pro Bowl
means not a whole lot. All Pro four times, Troy
was All Pro six times now defensive Player of the Year.
That's a biggie for you. That's Troy was flashy like
but but Troy, you have to understand, like we're Troy
was a no doubt first ballot Hall of Famer though,
and these numbers are very comparable, and tyrants got him
beaten some categories. So remember and you can get in
on your second, third, fourth to.
Speaker 9: Show you like, good team usually means better and more
personal individual awards and accolades. Right, So the Steelers at
that time, I mean they were making super Bowl runs
and big deep playoffriends, big Ben. They just had a
lot of a lot of cameras, a lot of hype
to them.
Speaker 11: And Troy take anything away, Yeah, it was hell of
a player, like he should be.
Speaker 2: But like the point is tiring compares with a Troy Pale,
Like I said, I mean maybe it was. Maybe he's
a Hall of Famer. If he's not, I don't know
what they look like then, I mean, we like, have
any you played against a bunch of them? I played
against a bunch of them, and you know what it
looks like. He looks like a Hall of Fame.
Speaker 9: When did the seven number seven jersey start?
Speaker 2: I believe Peterson was first honeybatter. He was the first recipient. Yeah,
so he was like you Yeah, many have said yeah,
me and tired one and you were like the second
eighteen in this and he was the second seventh seven
Look at y'all actually kind of the first though, Yeah,
I mean brothers to get it passed down, you know.
Speaker 7: Hell yeah, so let me ask me.
Speaker 2: Look, our senior years were very or last year, I
guess I should say we're very comparable. I also finished
Fifth Night.
Speaker 7: I hate myself for asking this question? Can I ask it? Though?
Did Gary Danielson give him his nickname?
Speaker 2: Hmmm?
Speaker 7: Man?
Speaker 9: He famously came from the video of the actual honey
Badger animal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like you know.
Speaker 7: What honey Badger doesn't give him? Yeah, a great video.
Speaker 9: I wish we could play it, got the curse words.
I think maybe there's like a tame version of it.
But was it Gary Danielson that gave him the nickname?
Speaker 5: I don't actually know where that.
Speaker 2: I think so good both retired.
Speaker 9: I even think I think he said it on a
broadcast and he's like, he's like the honey Badger.
Speaker 7: He didn't care.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't. I like that. I mean, why does
it matter if that was scary? You got somebody gets scary.
Speaker 7: I mean, does who likes scary? I do Why he's.
Speaker 2: Always been He's always been nice to me.
Speaker 9: Why, Okay, I guess, I mean I think that's a
I don't know if a lot of people agree with
you in this.
Speaker 7: Area of the country.
Speaker 2: I mean he was like he did not like me.
He was very nice to me.
Speaker 9: I mean he was personally I don't care about personally. Yeah,
he's probably a great dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. You know who was like that and
people have a feel a certain type of way about him.
It's Chris Collingsworth was all like very like on a broadcast.
I don't know. He's a Florida guy, so I don't know.
I don't know how this happened, but he was always
very fair to me, like it would actually you know,
the tele prompter, like that's the full back right here,
the whole deal. So it's like everybody hates him. I'm like, yeah,
we hate that, love you, Chris.
Speaker 9: I gotta tell you, Sunday Night Football needs the revamp,
all right. So like so we're just gonna give Jack
collins Worth a job.
Speaker 11: We don't have anything against neo babies here listen, I'm
just one of that.
Speaker 9: I mean, Bob said it all time Sunday Night Football,
like the pregame and leading up to, like the the
actual broadcast is good, I do. I like, I think
Chris Collins does a good job. He's like, that's the
voice I I recognize, Like that's that's good.
Speaker 7: But the pre stuff is awful. It's awful.
Speaker 2: So yeah, the pre game, the pregame.
Speaker 9: Stuff, and like the lead, like what are we doing?
Why are we giving Jack collins Worth the job? Like
what's he's not dynamic?
Speaker 2: He hurts you.
Speaker 7: I don't know, just I watched it.
Speaker 2: I'm like, man, I obviously I love Maria Taylor.
Speaker 7: She's great.
Speaker 2: Yees, she is great, very nice human being, very nice,
like incredibly nice. But you're saying Jack, everybody catch his hands, catchy.
That's what you're that's what it feels like. But what
do you do to get that? A quick internet search
says it wasn't a teammate, an announcer, or a fan.
It was John Chavis, who the former defense coordinator. He
gave it to who gave Honey Badger his nickname, and
that and again, this is the Internet, it's always facts, right, Yeah,
he says, this is your new nickname, Honey Badger. Trust me,
go with it. You'll make a lot of money one day.
Speaker 7: I don't believe that.
Speaker 9: I don't believe that. I don't do you think John
Jay the Future like that.
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you that that's what it says after
the game in twenty eleven against West Virginia that he
showed him the YouTube video that we're talking about, and
it says that's who gave Honey Badger the nickname.
Speaker 11: Hmm Okay, I don't know if it's true, but it's not.
Speaker 2: Gary Danielson's my point, all right.
Speaker 8: I think we need to get Tyron on the phone
and ask him.
Speaker 5: I got a uh let's cold call him text from
uh buddy I know who like does who works for
Grid Aaron Football, So like, okay, you know he said
that you had heard it was also.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's too, all right, that's two. That's too.
Speaker 9: I'm getting a lot of people in the chat just
saying Tiger Droppings gave it to him.
Speaker 2: That's also our guy Michael Cobble just texted me he
said that Tiger Droppings also was probably.
Speaker 7: Somebody sad story there.
Speaker 2: J A.
Speaker 7: D in the chat said a poster called Mike Linebacker.
Do you think that's just this guy?
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's Mike Linebackers trying to take credit for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Smart, smart, trying to give himself a shout out.
Speaker 9: All right, let's take a break in lifetime post he
has yes one.
Speaker 2: I want to continue talking about Tying because he's not
just the one segment career again, like you could just
break it up what he did at LSU, what he
did in the NFL Super Bowl, champion coming back home,
finishing his career in New Orleans. He doesn't have to
wear that uniform that they announced yesterday. Now that's a
win as well. So all of that coming back your
way when we jump back on O TV.
Speaker 1: Off the bench.
Speaker 2: Alright, go to All Star toy at Vnrouge dot com,
All Star toyf vtrouge dot Com. Buying, new, leasing, renting.
Everything is available in all three processes that we talk about.
So a lot of times you might get three options
if you're renting. Maybe if you're leasing, you get one
in each category. You certainly don't get everything. It is
just like you were buying a brand new vehicle. Now,
if you want to buy a new vehicle, now's a
great time and go check out all the savings they
have on the website. But no matter what you're doing,
we say it every single day because it is factual buying, leasing, renting,
All Star Toytefvattanrouge dot com is the only place to go.
Speaker 7: Yeah, if you're thinking about getting a new car, I
gotta tell you all. I've told you the story.
Speaker 9: Like when I was growing up, My two older sisters
both had Toyotas as their first car when they turned sixteen.
Why because they're safe, they're reliable, and they're trustworthy. So
go see all of their fleet, everything they got, whether
it's big, little, fast, well, whatever it is, go see them.
Speaker 7: Go see I think now.
Speaker 12: All Star toy to them at Rouge dot com.
Speaker 1: Tigers turn talkers. This is off the bench.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back here O TV one four five
ESPN baton Rouge. As I said, Tyer Matthew is not
one segment, probably not two, Probably gonna be more like three,
could be four or five.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: He decides to hang up the cleats yesterday. He is
going to retire and can't wait to see what is
in his future, because well, he can pretty much do
whatever he wants. He's probably gonna be highly successful. But
we can't talk about the honey Badger. We can't talk
about the career that he had and not play some
of our favorite highlights. And so I don't know how
long this is going to go, but we wanted to
play some. So here they are.
Speaker 10: It's amazing. Now play football for three years and Tyron Matthew.
Speaker 6: You can talk about him all day.
Speaker 13: Daryl in your coverage, but then you make a great interception.
Speaker 10: Wow, So tadahell TikTok only three times all season in
his six games a quarterback, he's thrown three interceptions today.
How you fans he befriended during his club's digit It's
an auful hospital.
Speaker 2: Probably this week.
Speaker 10: Here's Tyron Matthew after the big hit.
Speaker 3: He takes it in.
Speaker 13: See the hit by Tyron Matthew right there, knocks the
ball loose, then just picks the pocket. What a fantastic game,
he said.
Speaker 3: Hudson Frelo Barner is back deep again for the Ducks
and this is a beautiful punt back to the fifteen,
running backwards loose pre ball touchdown.
Speaker 2: Hell USU.
Speaker 3: Matthew picks it up and runs in and Lsu strikes.
Speaker 6: Tell you something.
Speaker 5: When you need a play, you turn to your.
Speaker 14: Playmaker, Matthew, who last year is a fression that made
to happen. It gets off to a huge start here
as a sophomore campaign.
Speaker 11: Backfield well West Virginia.
Speaker 3: You know, under pressure, completes it. The battle for the
first down and taken away by Matthew.
Speaker 2: Matthew stripped him game.
Speaker 14: I really think he's the closest thing to Ed Reed
that we have. He's a corner, but he plays nickelback.
They execute, they've hit the pass. It looks like they
have a chance. Anytime you fight for extra yards again,
it's this defense. They're going to go after the football
and Matthew strips it out of there for the Tigers
to get the football back.
Speaker 3: And the Starks was the receiver. I look at that's
what you see on Sunday football. I mean, he took
it away. Do you remember, folks, whre you watching again?
Speaker 14: Make him throw short Matthew deflected, picked up Matthews down
to about the one yard line. Matthew, he comes on
the blitz, recognizes the place.
Speaker 11: Smacks it puts it up into the air.
Speaker 13: And if you're an LSU.
Speaker 14: Fan, you've been seeing this now since he was a
freshman last year.
Speaker 2: You're used to this. I got news for you.
Speaker 14: College football needs to pay attention to number seven at LSU.
He's one of the most dynamic playmakers in all of
college football. I keep using the comparison ed Reid.
Speaker 2: Lost football. Matthew will score. The guy just makes plays
that there's ever a year it's tyn He's just victorious.
Speaker 11: I mean we could goose bumps literally the rest of
the hour.
Speaker 2: So that that Kentucky one at the end is probably
my favorite because he blitzed off the edge with such
bad intentions, like he was like purpose was focused on
the football, knocks it out and it goes the other
and then he picks it up. But the A and
M one in the Cotton Bowl. I forgot about that
play me too.
Speaker 5: That's why the game I started with that play like
that was about a minute and a half. Yeah, yeah,
because I'm like, that's when that's when Tyran Matthew became
who he is.
Speaker 2: Like he had the pick.
Speaker 5: Later in the game, he had the scoop and the score.
That was the last Game of the Year like that.
That's why I started with that one, because like I
mean that that was the beginning.
Speaker 9: So that highlight film that you pulled up, it was
like five or six minutes we watched what a minute
and a half there, ninety They saw like six plays.
One of those plays by anybody in college football like
makes their career.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah right, Like you do one.
Speaker 9: Of those plays in a big moment like that, They're like,
that's a highlight forever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like playing in the stadium, that one highlight every
time they do a you know, like a little montage
of top plays, let's do it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 11: They had seven of them in ninety seconds. Probably, Like we.
Speaker 9: Look back at Patrick Peterson's career, Yeah, we looked back
some part returns, but it's that it's that one interception
on the sideline that we always see inst Alabama. Yeah,
that's like an incredible play from one of the greatest
players ever put on an ls U helmet. Yeah, but
the Honey Badger's got yeah thirty I mean right, I
mean plays just like that his freshman year changing fourteen.
Speaker 2: You know, nobody really knew who he was out. I mean,
they couldn't even say he tackles a tied end, it
got much bigger than him and on the way to
the ground is like, yeah, I'll take the ball as well.
I'm just gonna go score ye from foremost, I.
Speaker 5: Mean, like some of those the best plays, like the
part return against Arkansas which was huge LS. She was
down fourteen nothing at that point. Arkansas's ranked like eighth,
like they're really good. Here's the part return. I think
LSU scored like forty straight points. I mean thought it
was the moments that he made the play.
Speaker 9: Tipping it up to himself in a moment like that,
like that's that's a great way to play.
Speaker 7: Like he made the plays in the moments.
Speaker 5: Georgia game in the SEC Championship, you didn't have anything
going offensively. He returns to the punt again, you go
like thirty straight points.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the doors wasn't.
Speaker 9: Just doing it like making these highlights and you know
second quarter gets. I mean, well every time I got dog,
you say it all the time. I never called you
out for it, Just trying to make a point, trying
to read dog.
Speaker 11: Look at that good dogs threeing great, that's a bull dog.
Speaker 7: Don't even know what that is.
Speaker 8: How are you even doing that with your fingers?
Speaker 2: The ball you got?
Speaker 5: It's similar, doesn't he?
Speaker 10: Well?
Speaker 7: This you love doing a full dog? So they do this? Yes,
I get it. Dogs like the ears. I go, yeah,
they what do they do with their thumb? Just wrap it.
Speaker 2: I felt like there was a shot at me too,
because my longest run was against Louisian Tech.
Speaker 9: Wow, I mean an unintentional, brilliant shot just because I mean,
your biggest highlight is you flipping the ball over your
head to a kicker.
Speaker 2: Does it mean that you got to throw it straight
at me? It's a good eyelight though I was, I
was on the field.
Speaker 9: Someone recently asked me like, hey, how long did you
work on that? Like two years?
Speaker 2: All the times for years years. God less love practice
than that play.
Speaker 11: He loved it, never candy.
Speaker 2: Never did I think we would run it.
Speaker 7: Though, No, no, no, no, no shot.
Speaker 2: Ever then it became like He's like, hey, I'm gonna
run it all the time, even if the holder bounces
it to the kicker. And then yeah, then twenty eleven happened.
Then you couldn't make mad had it and didn't do
those things anymore. They they scarred him, they did oh
for sure, Bob in that offense, we said, all like,
have we had fake punts? We had fake field goals?
We just go for it's fourth and then changed but
from like five O six, O seven all the way
up to eleven.
Speaker 7: It was crazy.
Speaker 2: So oh really, all right, man, say break more O
two B when we come back one of four five years.

Rouge's go to for all things Louisiana sports.
Speaker 2: All Right, welcome back again, OTB.
Speaker 11: Obviously talking a lot of Tyron Matthew here in now
number one.
Speaker 2: I will say the the Kentucky play, as I mentioned,
where he's blitzing off the backside strip, sack, fumble, scoop
score is my favorite Tyroann play. Do we have a
favorite tyrannt play?
Speaker 7: Matthew? That was pretty good?
Speaker 9: I like the I like the West Virginia jump to
the pass up. If he would have scored, I would
have said, yep, that's it. Yeah, he wasn't that graven athlete,
so he got tackled at the one. But like the
Taylor said that, it was the moments that he did it.
I like the Georgia true that probably was one, because
I distinctly remember watching that one. I don't remember watching
live all of them. I remember that one for sure.
Speaker 2: Longer taite, Do we have a favorite tyroann play?
Speaker 5: Might be the diving pick because a freshman, honestly, like,
that's when he burst on the scene. Either that or
the Arkansas port return.
Speaker 6: The entire Georgia game is basically like a Tyron Matthew
highlight reel, like the entire game, but the punt return
whenever he scored on that was awesome, Like, Tyro Matthew
is my favorite LSU player besides you and I mean,
and he's like, he really really got me into l
s U football and stuff.
Speaker 11: So yeah, shoutout.
Speaker 2: It was after me. That's that's how he played. And
so yeah, hell of a career. Certainly one of the
greats of all time. Here, one of the greatest single
seasons of all time in college football history, and he
is going to end with a gold jacket. Truly truly
believe that. More otb our two. When we jump back
