Ot functionally, how impactful is this? 187 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,000 And I guess I mean from his seating perspective, because 188 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,919 you still you already wrapped up the double buying the 189 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,279 SEC tournament, which in many ways you're not gonna win. 190 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 2: The SE's kind of. 191 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: The ultimate goal, right, Uh, how much, Jake, you know 192 00:09:12,039 --> 00:09:15,240 more bracketologies than I do. They've been at a two seed. 193 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,600 Does this push them down to a three? And now 194 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,639 the tournament you try to get up back to it two? 195 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 3: So it I mean, it potentially could do exactly what 196 00:09:25,159 --> 00:09:27,919 you're saying, because they were right there, they were on 197 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,559 the two line, but for whatever reason, and I guess 198 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,879 it's their non conference Like even when they were a 199 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,279 top five basketball team, they were still firmly a two seeds. 200 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 201 00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:41,919 Speaker 3: Uh, So when you've looked, you know, at the bracketology 202 00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:44,720 all season long, they've kind of whatever their ranking was, 203 00:09:44,799 --> 00:09:46,679 like an ap, it hasn't really mattered. 204 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,159 Speaker 2: They've been a little bit behind that. 205 00:09:48,759 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 3: So you lose this game and t let's say that 206 00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:54,320 you don't win a game in the SEC tournament, than 207 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,759 you are without question a three seed. Okay, Like if 208 00:09:56,759 --> 00:09:59,600 you have like any kind of faulter here down the stretch, 209 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:00,440 you'll be a receive. 210 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:00,879 Speaker 2: Okay. 211 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: So we'll put them on the three line for now 212 00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:07,039 with the opportunity to rise. But they do have the 213 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,080 double bye in the SEC tournament, which means a lot, 214 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,679 and first they finish up in the p MAC with 215 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,519 an old Miss team that spent much of the year 216 00:10:15,519 --> 00:10:17,600 at ranks. So again going to have another battle. As 217 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,600 far as the game itself goes, and you get to watch, 218 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,879 I was playing Dungeons and Dragons last night, Taylor. You 219 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,519 worked the game now. Of course, I've read about it, 220 00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:30,320 and it seems like another game in which l Shoot 221 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:35,200 got down, big, fought chances, clawed their way back, had 222 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,080 some game winning opportunities, but not It seems like not 223 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,159 a terribly efficient night shooting wise from the Tigers. 224 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 4: No, they were actually and and honestly, the final stat 225 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,679 sheet's going to look better than it was. They were 226 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,639 really good in the second half. They were awful in 227 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,879 the first half. And honestly, guys, it's pretty similar to 228 00:10:54,919 --> 00:10:57,200 the Kentucky game. They did the same thing because in 229 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,279 this game they were down eleven and a half. They 230 00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:02,279 were down twelve a half in Kentucky and stormed back. 231 00:11:02,399 --> 00:11:04,840 Like I would say, they stole that Kentucky game. I look, 232 00:11:04,879 --> 00:11:07,679 Kentucky deserved to win it. Like credit to LSU. They 233 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,120 actually took a late lead in this game, but they 234 00:11:10,279 --> 00:11:11,919 gotta stop starting so slowly. 235 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 2: They have to. 236 00:11:12,519 --> 00:11:15,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's it does seem like a bit of 237 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,159 a common theme, even though you know, going on the 238 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:18,840 road is always tough in. 239 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 2: These uh in these environments. 240 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 3: And you mentioned this earlier in the week, but now 241 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,480 the crowd wasn't sold out or anything like that. But 242 00:11:26,879 --> 00:11:28,840 I mean, he's pretty good. It's pretty loud, had some 243 00:11:28,919 --> 00:11:33,639 electricity to it. And so my older brother, he's a 244 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,480 high school athletic director, and he was taking his students 245 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,519 on like different stops throughout the Southeast and they went 246 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,679 to an Alabama women's basketball game and he sent me 247 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,960 a picture like right before tip and there was seven 248 00:11:45,039 --> 00:11:48,200 eight people in there. Oh when Lu wasn't when now 249 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,960 she wasn't there playing A and M I believe. And 250 00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:53,879 even though even though it's a ranked good right to 251 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,759 Alabama team. Yeah, and so like just seeing the scenes 252 00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:59,600 from last night compared to the picture that he sent me, yeah, 253 00:11:59,639 --> 00:12:02,320 I'm like, yeah, I mean what what T Bob talked about. 254 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:03,799 Speaker 2: They're the biggest stars in town. 255 00:12:03,919 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 3: They bring obviously, you know, Yeah, they bring a different 256 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,840 type of vibe to the gym and other teams. There's 257 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,919 fifteen other teams that don't like them at all. Yeah, 258 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,600 And you had, Like I don't know, Taylor if you 259 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,440 had that same feeling watching the game, but there was 260 00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:21,120 people in that building that it was the only thing 261 00:12:21,159 --> 00:12:23,399 they're going to care about for the next three weeks 262 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,919 is beating LSU in that game. 263 00:12:25,039 --> 00:12:27,039 Speaker 2: Absolutely. I mean I've already seen it all over Twitter 264 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,440 and everything. 265 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:33,399 Speaker 3: So people Alabama fans that ain't mentioned women's basketball all. 266 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 2: Year, I know it's in the group chat. 267 00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: It's a little bit ever, but you know, but I mean, again, 268 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,159 don't panic now. This team is flawed, right, so this 269 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,159 does not feel like a team when I think when 270 00:12:45,159 --> 00:12:49,000 you look up and you look at South Carolina, Yukon, 271 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,440 some of the teams, like it feels like a heavy 272 00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:55,519 lift for this team to get past them. But the 273 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,679 tournament's the tournament, and coach Moulk's an expert when it 274 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,679 comes to maximizing tournament and performance. So we'll just have 275 00:13:01,799 --> 00:13:04,720 to wait and see. Not gonna get overly panicky over 276 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,600 this loss. And plus, you know, they won so many close, 277 00:13:07,759 --> 00:13:10,559 like one score games early on, like the map is 278 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,399 gonna even out a little bit, So this is you know, 279 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,679 this is just kind of to be expected in some ways. 280 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 6: Uh. 281 00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:18,919 Speaker 1: In baseball, you got LSU Kansas State today. Does anybody 282 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,679 know anything about Kansas State baseball? 283 00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:25,399 Speaker 2: No, I don't. I mean, I don't know. I'm just 284 00:13:25,799 --> 00:13:28,120 going around the room. Are they good? 285 00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:32,399 Speaker 1: If I was Jake, you normally have like one nugget 286 00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:35,519 of any college topic that I can ask. 287 00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 2: You Aboutically I do. 288 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 3: I don't have a lot for Youah, Kansas State baseball 289 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,440 certainly not in this early portion of the year here. 290 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:44,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I don't either. 291 00:13:44,879 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 5: To be fair, already face three ranked teams. 292 00:13:47,639 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 2: Okay, there we go LANDA and they won all three. 293 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 7: Of its matchups in Arlington last weekend. Okay, Kansas State 294 00:13:56,399 --> 00:13:57,600 is four and four, So. 295 00:13:57,879 --> 00:14:03,759 Speaker 1: Okay, so yeah, El, you should no El, shoot l 296 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,759 who's on the mountain tonight? Are we back to our Friday, 297 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,159 Friday Day Sunday rotation? 298 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:08,519 Speaker 2: Yeah? 299 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: So Kate Anderson tonight tomorrow? Sure, Sunday more answers? Maybe, 300 00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:17,480 I mean, I guess if you're talking about a goal, right, 301 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,519 this is a classic, Like, it's not really about the opponent, 302 00:14:21,559 --> 00:14:23,440 It's about what do I want to see out of 303 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:24,000 l s U. 304 00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:28,639 Speaker 5: What I've been seeing the past couple of weekends. 305 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean right, it's like it's tough like recency 306 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,120 bias makes you want to say, uh, better word the 307 00:14:34,159 --> 00:14:37,679 runners in scoring position just because against DBU you dominated them, 308 00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:39,399 but the final score wasn't as bad as it should 309 00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:43,159 have been. Yeah, but again that that that feels like 310 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,759 a bit of a luxury problem given a lot of 311 00:14:45,759 --> 00:14:48,000 that's gonna come just from how often they get on base. Yeah, 312 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,240 I mean I get I guess I would say that 313 00:14:49,639 --> 00:14:53,000 maybe a timely hitting in this tonight's game. 314 00:14:53,639 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 2: Anybody, what are you all watching? I've kind of sent 315 00:14:57,559 --> 00:14:59,960 it over the last couple of days and weeks. 316 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 3: I'm just curious to see and maybe it doesn't maybe 317 00:15:03,039 --> 00:15:04,039 maybe it never happens. 318 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,399 Speaker 2: I don't know. But they're playing a lot of people. 319 00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:07,679 They're playing a ton of people. 320 00:15:07,799 --> 00:15:12,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're good players, are platooning with other good players. 321 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,840 So that doesn't mean that it has to go away. 322 00:15:14,919 --> 00:15:17,639 But it's something I've paid attention to just because I mean, 323 00:15:17,679 --> 00:15:20,879 you're throwing a lot of guys out there, and look, 324 00:15:20,919 --> 00:15:23,320 you want to find out and Jay's all about matchups 325 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,960 and different decisions and who has the ability to come 326 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,360 in into this spot and so you know, maybe it 327 00:15:28,519 --> 00:15:33,879 never goes down and has a you know, eleven person rotation, 328 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,600 maybe it stays like it currently is. I don't know, 329 00:15:36,679 --> 00:15:39,240 but I'm always paying attention to. Okay, once you get 330 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,360 better competition, how does the coach handle the lineup, bullpen 331 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,159 to different things? But I mean a guess, Dallas Baptist, 332 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,240 we kind of stole more of the same, and so 333 00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:49,759 that just might be what this team is. They've got lefties, 334 00:15:49,799 --> 00:15:52,240 they've got right e's they feel better about in certain matchups, 335 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,320 and it doesn't matter how good you are. 336 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 2: Everybody on this roster is good and you're going to platoon. 337 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean competitive depth, right, But like Baker talking 338 00:16:01,799 --> 00:16:04,240 about that LSU defense, I don't know that. I mean, again, 339 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,279 in my time covering Logue Baseball, at least here in 340 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,000 the preseason portion, this feels like the most competitive depth 341 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,720 that I've ever seen. Now, conference play will have a 342 00:16:12,759 --> 00:16:15,080 way and the rest of the next few weeks will 343 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,320 have a way of kind of yes, like you're talking 344 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,320 about weeding guys out cream rising at the top. But 345 00:16:19,399 --> 00:16:22,159 still it's pretty wild at this point how solid they 346 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,440 are across the board. 347 00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:25,799 Speaker 7: Well, I kind of like the idea of having that 348 00:16:25,919 --> 00:16:29,240 much depth and being able even once you get into. 349 00:16:29,679 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 5: SEC play, Like who's just you don't usually see in baseball. 350 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,919 But who's to say that you have to have like 351 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,320 a set roster, set lineup. 352 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 2: If everyone look, that's on the players. 353 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,039 Speaker 1: Everyone keeps playing well in their opportunities, Yes, you don't 354 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:42,960 have to force them out. 355 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, Yeah, yeah, I mean there's there's some 356 00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:48,000 guys that are going to want more at bats, They're 357 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,279 going to want more consistency, They're going to want more 358 00:16:50,279 --> 00:16:53,320 opportunities because baseball is such a game of failure. If 359 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,720 I'm kind of going through it a little bit, hey 360 00:16:54,799 --> 00:16:56,279 let me get out of it on my own. But 361 00:16:57,159 --> 00:17:00,600 I don't know that this team is that team. I 362 00:17:00,679 --> 00:17:02,759 think if you're struggling a little bit, you have so 363 00:17:02,879 --> 00:17:05,720 much depth in coach Jay Johnson has shown like he's 364 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,200 gonna roll somebody out in there. So that's why I'm 365 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,279 curious to see how it kind of pairs down. Like 366 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,000 right now, everybody's kind of playing well, there's no real struggles. 367 00:17:14,039 --> 00:17:15,720 I know braswell a little bit at the plate. But 368 00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:19,519 if they continue on like Alonjas saying, there's nothing that 369 00:17:19,559 --> 00:17:22,000 says you can only play nine guys or ten guys 370 00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:24,440 or even eleven guys. If you have fourteen, that can play, 371 00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:27,079 you find a way to get fourteen at bats well. 372 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 4: In this like the perfect weekend to do that because 373 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,319 like Jay always tinkers with his lineups early in the 374 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,400 season anyways, but like you have a weekend series, you're 375 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,359 also playing three different teams, so it's not a normal series, 376 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,440 like Jake was talking about, is it going to be 377 00:17:39,519 --> 00:17:42,119 matchup base and then performance base? Who does he put in? 378 00:17:42,759 --> 00:17:45,599 Would he normally put in Ethan Fry? But oh I 379 00:17:45,599 --> 00:17:47,559 don't like him against this pitcher. Let me put in 380 00:17:47,599 --> 00:17:50,599 this guy based on you know, performance and matchups that 381 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,279 you're playing three different teams. I think this is the 382 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,920 perfect weekend to really see what you got depth to us. 383 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: I think Nooki's right too. Maybe power in the lineup 384 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,799 is something that else you still could Potentially, we're not 385 00:18:01,839 --> 00:18:03,720 We're not sure where they're gonna land in that. 386 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,799 Speaker 2: Regard, So that's something to watch. 387 00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:09,559 Speaker 1: Cody chauven says, is there a report on x about 388 00:18:09,599 --> 00:18:12,400 Choresby moved to Saturday Starter after this week? And potentially so? 389 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,319 I just did a little search on Twitter. I did 390 00:18:14,319 --> 00:18:16,720 not see that. What I did see is a tweet 391 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:22,039 from ten days ago after last weekend. This comes from 392 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,640 inside Elsie Baseball says there were seventeen pitchers in the 393 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:30,279 country observed throwing ninety seven or higher by D one Baseball. 394 00:18:31,079 --> 00:18:36,279 LSU had four of the seventeen Cason Evans, Jay Shores, 395 00:18:36,319 --> 00:18:40,720 Maverick Rizzy and Billy Schmidt, three freshmen on that list. 396 00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:43,279 That's the competitive death that we're talking about. 397 00:18:43,559 --> 00:18:44,319 Speaker 2: That's insane. 398 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: That is four of the seventeen in the country that 399 00:18:47,799 --> 00:18:49,440 are throwing ninety seven or higher. 400 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,839 Speaker 3: And that's one of the things that everybody's most excited about. 401 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:54,559 Speaker 2: If you want to, you. 402 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,759 Speaker 3: Know, learn a little bit more about who else Hu's 403 00:18:56,759 --> 00:19:00,200 opponents are this weekend.

But I want to talk about CP three. 460 00:21:36,799 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: Rod Walker had a really good piece up this morning, 461 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,200 you know, Matt Road in Louisiana Sports on that as 462 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:46,079 well before the game, about how New Orleans should honor 463 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,319 CP three, should should children spect And there weren't. There 464 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,119 was definitely not the thunderous booze that he has run 465 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,000 into in the past when he played the two games 466 00:21:55,039 --> 00:21:58,039 here this week, the Spurs lost both of lundra h. 467 00:21:58,079 --> 00:22:00,119 Even though you're probably happy about that now with and 468 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,119 being everybody out, you're in full tank mode. 469 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,279 Speaker 5: I wouldn't say I'm in tank mode. 470 00:22:04,319 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 7: I would say that, like, I just don't like what's 471 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,759 happening in the organization right now, so I'm not. 472 00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 5: It doesn't I don't care. 473 00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: It doesn't hurt as much as it would if you 474 00:22:14,599 --> 00:22:16,599 if you were you know, if Winby went out for 475 00:22:16,599 --> 00:22:17,880 the year and you still hope. 476 00:22:17,759 --> 00:22:19,599 Speaker 5: Right, or if we had a coach. 477 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean pop as well, yeah right, 478 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,279 so okay, So but again, he wasn't met with like 479 00:22:24,319 --> 00:22:26,519 the thunderous foods. But he also didn't get the love. 480 00:22:26,839 --> 00:22:30,759 He didn't get the applause that he should have. And 481 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,519 I thought Rod did a really good point. I mean, 482 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,480 Anthony Davis never even said thank you. And look, he's 483 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,079 so good spooded, right, But this is a man who's 484 00:22:38,079 --> 00:22:39,640 still to this day has not said thank you to 485 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,960 the any Chris Paul when he left, originally on Instagram, 486 00:22:43,039 --> 00:22:47,119 said quote, thank you New Orleans for six of the 487 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,799 best years of my life to the organization. My teammates, coaches, 488 00:22:50,839 --> 00:22:54,240 and the fans. You will always be my family and 489 00:22:54,319 --> 00:22:57,039 have a special place in my heart with not one, 490 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,759 not two, but three exclamation marks. And then after playing 491 00:23:01,799 --> 00:23:05,119 there this week, in which he was still booed more 492 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,759 than he should have been, what he put on Instagram 493 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,079 quote after twenty years, the love for this city has 494 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,359 never changed. The journey started here and I'll always have 495 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,400 gratitude for the city. 496 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 2: Of New Orleans. 497 00:23:19,319 --> 00:23:22,319 Speaker 1: Why can't we just love this man? He's the best 498 00:23:22,319 --> 00:23:27,160 player in the franchise's history. Like you should, I think, 499 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:28,920 And this is really what this is all in pursuit 500 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,400 of should the Pelicans hant Chris Paul's jersey? 501 00:23:34,559 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 2: I say yes. 502 00:23:36,599 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: And it's definitely a bit of you know, in a 503 00:23:40,039 --> 00:23:43,279 dark room, even a candle shines bright because it was 504 00:23:43,319 --> 00:23:46,359 six years. It is not very long, but like we're 505 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:53,400 a garbage ass franchise, garbage. He is the only consistency 506 00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:59,799 that the Pelicans have ever achieved. And eventually maybe this 507 00:23:59,839 --> 00:24:02,960 for franchise gets to be successful, but here in the 508 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,799 first twenty years, whatever it is, he's the guy. 509 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 2: He's the guy. I think you should hang it thethay 510 00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:13,319 you already said. 511 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 4: No, I mean I guess, I guess if you you 512 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,480 have to hang on like you don't have to, I wouldn't. 513 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,680 I mean to your point, like, see the best player 514 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,000 in the franchise history. Yeah, probably, but you see six 515 00:24:28,079 --> 00:24:29,720 years not his fault. 516 00:24:29,759 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 2: But they didn't really win anything with him. 517 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: I mean again, though they won more than they ever 518 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:38,359 have since they were consistently better than they ever were. 519 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:43,079 He was an MVP finalist multiple times.

We went 594 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,319 down there and got on the podium yesterday and and 595 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,319 uh and uh, you know, we look ready. So we're 596 00:28:26,319 --> 00:28:28,920 excited to get downtown and get a get a big 597 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,839 road score away from home. Yeah, so to speak, and 598 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,200 uh and uh and and it should be a good night. 599 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: So is that because I was I've always wondered what's 600 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,359 the idea behind going to the Raising Kines River Center? 601 00:28:43,599 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 2: How how does road score work with in Q. 602 00:28:45,839 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 6: In QS, so our national qualifying scores based on our 603 00:28:50,079 --> 00:28:54,559 top six scores, a minimum of three three have to 604 00:28:54,599 --> 00:28:58,039 be away and and UH, and then you drop the 605 00:28:58,119 --> 00:29:00,720 high and average the other five. Well, one time of year, 606 00:29:00,799 --> 00:29:03,720 we're allowed to count an away score within a thirty 607 00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:07,319 mile radius of our campus, so we can go downtown 608 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:12,640 once a year. And we've got an LSU alum, Scott Kusomano, 609 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,319 that hosts a big club meet. He's got about fifteen 610 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,480 hundred kids. But a couple of years ago he told 611 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,960 me he'd be willing to host a college invitational, and 612 00:29:23,039 --> 00:29:25,839 so he puts a podium in there for us, and 613 00:29:26,559 --> 00:29:28,799 we get the experience of being on the podium, which 614 00:29:28,839 --> 00:29:31,559 we'll be in at S, be on top of at SEC's, 615 00:29:32,119 --> 00:29:35,839 and then again at the national championship. Hopefully we make 616 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,599 it that far, and then we get a road score, 617 00:29:39,759 --> 00:29:42,480 and those roadscores are very important, especially late in the 618 00:29:42,559 --> 00:29:45,680 year in terms of determining your seeding for the postseason. 619 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,519 Speaker 1: Coach, again, how could I not sit here and ask 620 00:29:49,559 --> 00:29:53,400 you about klen Chio. I agree with you, it's time 621 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,839 to just rename the Freshman of the Week award. At 622 00:29:55,839 --> 00:29:59,319 this point, she takes it home for a fourth consecutive week. 623 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,079 We're straight all around title. Uh, it's it's it's just 624 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,440 it's unreal. Now tied with Hailey Bryant for the most 625 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:12,119 SEC awards during their freshman season with six recognitions already. 626 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, if she's not Freshman of the Year, 627 00:30:16,039 --> 00:30:19,759 I don't I don't know who is. She's She's done 628 00:30:19,759 --> 00:30:22,119 an amazing job. And and you know, we had our 629 00:30:23,119 --> 00:30:25,279 our little Porche for Scores thing last night, and I 630 00:30:25,319 --> 00:30:28,400 had Hailey Bryant there, you know, talking to the to 631 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,160 the group, and and it reminded me of her freshman year, 632 00:30:33,079 --> 00:30:35,319 you know. And I'm sitting there going and I told 633 00:30:35,359 --> 00:30:38,720 everybody last night how thankful I am that we have 634 00:30:38,799 --> 00:30:43,720 Hailey Bryant and Kayln Chio at Bookends, because Hailey has 635 00:30:43,759 --> 00:30:46,759 been such a great influence on her. You know, success 636 00:30:46,799 --> 00:30:50,319 comes quickly, and sometimes that could be a curse. And 637 00:30:50,319 --> 00:30:53,440 and uh, and Hailey's done a good job of of 638 00:30:54,319 --> 00:30:57,240 helping Kaylen understand, you know, how she needs to conduct 639 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,039 herself and where she needs to keep her mind and 640 00:31:00,039 --> 00:31:02,440 and what better example could she have other than Haley, 641 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,519 you know, just in terms of how to do things 642 00:31:04,599 --> 00:31:07,839 and stay humble and and treat everybody the way that 643 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,960 you should. And and Kaylin's doing a great job. You know, 644 00:31:11,039 --> 00:31:13,000 you'd never know where that's going to go when they 645 00:31:13,039 --> 00:31:15,880 have that kind of success that early, and and uh 646 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,599 and she's doing a great job of of sort of 647 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,839 keeping things between the lines, and and and and treating 648 00:31:22,039 --> 00:31:25,960 treating her teammates and everybody around her, uh with with 649 00:31:26,079 --> 00:31:28,039 great humility and great respect. 650 00:31:28,319 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 3: Coach, you mentioned injuries there and obviously you know it's 651 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,920 a part of it, but you've gone through, you know, 652 00:31:33,319 --> 00:31:37,240 significant amount, it seems like. But when you look at 653 00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:40,400 them right now with three weeks ago to the SEC 654 00:31:40,759 --> 00:31:44,799 you know, tournament, and you've got still three meets to go, like, 655 00:31:44,839 --> 00:31:48,119 what are those conversations like okay, like we want you back, 656 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,240 but we got to be smart here. 657 00:31:49,279 --> 00:31:51,119 Speaker 2: We've got bigger things down the road. 658 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,359 Speaker 3: Like what are those conversations like when somebody wants to 659 00:31:54,359 --> 00:31:56,440 maybe compete and you're like, hey, we have to be smarter. 660 00:31:56,519 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 2: It's the bigger picture. We have to try to go 661 00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:59,319 do bigger things. 662 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,279 Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's that's that's the majority of our conversation 663 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,839 yesterday and then our staff meeting Monday is is you know, 664 00:32:08,319 --> 00:32:11,200 management physical management of their bodies at this point and 665 00:32:11,279 --> 00:32:13,839 making sure that we protect them against them their own 666 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,799 ambition sometimes and and uh so you know, we we 667 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,799 have it. It's a difficult thing to do, especially when 668 00:32:20,799 --> 00:32:24,039 we are a little thin in terms of reserves that 669 00:32:24,119 --> 00:32:26,599 can get in, get out there and get the job done. 670 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,519 But you know, we may make a few changes here tonight, 671 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:34,559 but it's not gonna be anything, you know, wildly out 672 00:32:34,599 --> 00:32:37,200 of the ordinary, because you know, we still we still 673 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,079 got to compete, still got to get out there and 674 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:43,279 put together a great score. But but it is, it 675 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,759 is a challenge. And uh you know, there's several of 676 00:32:45,799 --> 00:32:49,200 them that are that are that are hurting. There's we've 677 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,839 lost a few. There's kids that you know, mentally need 678 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,960 a little rest. Uh A, Leah Finnigan is gonna probably 679 00:32:57,039 --> 00:33:00,279 come out of floor tonight just because she needs to 680 00:33:00,319 --> 00:33:02,720 hit the reset and she's been going strong for a 681 00:33:02,759 --> 00:33:05,759 long time. And so we're trying to make little changes 682 00:33:05,799 --> 00:33:07,799 here and there that hopefully make a difference. You know, 683 00:33:07,799 --> 00:33:10,519 it would be the equivalent of moving somebody up or 684 00:33:10,519 --> 00:33:13,200 down in the in the batting order a little bit. 685 00:33:13,279 --> 00:33:15,759 You know, when things when they when they kind of 686 00:33:15,759 --> 00:33:17,839 need her a little bit of a reset. So those 687 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,880 are the kinds of things that we're dealing with right now. 688 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,079 I think probably that's going on all over the country. Uh, 689 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,279 you know this time of year, everybody's hurting a little bit. 690 00:33:25,359 --> 00:33:27,279 If you're if you're not hurting, you hadn't done anything. 691 00:33:27,359 --> 00:33:30,960 So so it's it's uh, it's part of the process. 692 00:33:31,039 --> 00:33:33,920 But at the same time, it presents a lot of challenges. 693 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: And coach, this is a team uh so so much 694 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,599 upperclassmen leadership, as you kind of talked about, headlined by 695 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,599 Haley Bryant and guys, if you're thinking about getting out there, 696 00:33:44,759 --> 00:33:47,000 uh to the to the River Center tonight or the 697 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,880 PMAC next week, it's kind of sad to think about, 698 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,279 but this is these are your last opportunities to see 699 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,200 one of the greatest college gymnasts of all time live 700 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,319 in in Haley and and everybody else obviously, but I mean, 701 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,559 you know you you want to watch Joe Burrow play 702 00:34:01,559 --> 00:34:03,440 football again, right like you have two more here a 703 00:34:03,559 --> 00:34:08,480 local opportunities in which you can do. So, first, coach, 704 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,880 how's her How how is Haley feeling BodyWise perifically going 705 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,320 into this final push? 706 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,519 Speaker 2: And then you know, just what what is what is like? 707 00:34:16,559 --> 00:34:17,440 What does she mean to you? 708 00:34:18,519 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 6: Well, she's feeling better and better. You know, she had 709 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,280 to kind of knock the rust off here and and 710 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,800 and and get moving again. And so she's one you know, 711 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,239 we talk about the injuries, but she's one that's obviously 712 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,840 moving in the right direction and that that's certainly bows 713 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,320 well for us. The better the better she is, the 714 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,320 better we are. And you know she's she's doing a 715 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,519 great job, uh, you know, managing herself, communicating with us. 716 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,760 She'll do the all around again tonight and and then 717 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,840 again next week, uh, Senior night against Georgia. But you're right, 718 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,519 you know there is no NFL. Nobody's gonna watch Haley 719 00:34:53,519 --> 00:34:56,400 Briant on TV after this. And so this is this 720 00:34:56,519 --> 00:34:58,440 is it. You know, if you if you come down 721 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,000 and see her tonight at the Center, comes through our 722 00:35:01,039 --> 00:35:03,719 team at the River Center or uh next week, the 723 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,599 PMAC is probably going to be more of a challenging 724 00:35:05,639 --> 00:35:07,440 ticket to get hold of. So this might be the 725 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,599 best opportunity. Uh if you, if you get a chance 726 00:35:10,639 --> 00:35:13,800 to come out tonight, please do. But but uh, you know, 727 00:35:15,559 --> 00:35:16,519 what does she mean to me? 728 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:17,119 Speaker 1: Uh? 729 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,199 Speaker 6: And and our program? Uh, it's hard to It's hard 730 00:35:20,199 --> 00:35:22,360 to put that into words. You know, culture is such 731 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,159 a huge part of what we do. And you know, 732 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,079 coaches say that and as coach speak, and you hear 733 00:35:28,119 --> 00:35:31,000 it all the time, but it's it's genuinely something that 734 00:35:31,039 --> 00:35:33,480 we work at weekly and we spend time on it 735 00:35:33,519 --> 00:35:36,840 every Monday, and and without people that are bought into 736 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,199 that idea and the importance of it, it can be 737 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,119 a frustrating venture to try and create that. And and 738 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,639 Hayley Bryant more than her scores and more than more 739 00:35:47,639 --> 00:35:51,320 than any accolades that she's ever achieved from a gymnastics perspective, 740 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:56,320 she is an even better person and teammate, just salt 741 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,639 of the earth, the highest degree of integrity, the highest 742 00:35:59,639 --> 00:36:04,719 degree of character, treats everybody with the same level of respect, 743 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:09,000 takes time for everyone. I've never seen her growing patient 744 00:36:09,079 --> 00:36:13,400 with anything. I've never seen her angry, I've never seen 745 00:36:13,519 --> 00:36:18,079 her have a bad day. She is she is, She's 746 00:36:18,119 --> 00:36:21,760 been everything, and you know, with more than you know, 747 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,159 there's certainly every there's a lot of people that are 748 00:36:24,199 --> 00:36:27,119 involved in these things, but no one has played a 749 00:36:27,159 --> 00:36:29,360 greater role in getting us to the place we are 750 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,559 now than Hailey Bryant, coach. 751 00:36:32,599 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 3: I do want to ask you mentioned, you know, coming 752 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,159 out and seeing your team and everybody should and there's 753 00:36:37,159 --> 00:36:41,480 two more opportunities here locally, one downtown, one on campus. 754 00:36:41,639 --> 00:36:43,719 What does it mean to you to hear other coaches 755 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,960 at some of the biggest programs across the country talk 756 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,559 about the environment and when you go to LSU, it's 757 00:36:50,679 --> 00:36:53,800 different than everybody else. There's no other place really like 758 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,280 it in college gymnastics. As far as the advantage in 759 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,079 the crowd that y'all have that shows up every single meet. 760 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:04,559 Speaker 6: Yeah, that is one of the It's hard to believe, 761 00:37:04,599 --> 00:37:06,880 but I'm almost as proud of that as I am 762 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,280 anything else we've accomplished, you know, because that was a 763 00:37:10,559 --> 00:37:15,800 that was a sort of a a main primary objective 764 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,079 for me when I got here in the summer of 765 00:37:18,119 --> 00:37:20,760 twenty twelve was to kind of outline how we were 766 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,559 going to get there from an attendance standpoint. And you know, 767 00:37:23,639 --> 00:37:28,159 normally you win a championship before the attendance comes, but 768 00:37:28,199 --> 00:37:31,760 for us, the attendance got there before we ever won one. 769 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,519 And and that's a testament to our fan base, but 770 00:37:34,559 --> 00:37:37,920 it's also a testament to you know, being able to 771 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,199 create a vision within our department of what could happen 772 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,880 here and and that first sellout in twenty fifteen against 773 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,760 Florida was you know, it was it was really cool 774 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,719 to see and and and you know, to go from 775 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,960 twenty eight hundred fans on average in the in the 776 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,519 twenty twelve season to where we are now a little 777 00:37:58,559 --> 00:38:02,159 better than than a decade later is it's. Uh, it's 778 00:38:02,199 --> 00:38:05,840 pretty deep and and it's very validating, not only to me, 779 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,400 but to our entire staff and people that work in 780 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,119 our marketing department and our event management people, and and 781 00:38:12,199 --> 00:38:14,280 it took some time to get everybody on board with 782 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,960 what could happen, and but once we did, it was 783 00:38:19,119 --> 00:38:21,800 it was. It's been pretty cool to watch, and the 784 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,800 sustainability of it has been fantastic. And of course now 785 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,159 we've won a championship and and that certainly helps sustain it. 786 00:38:28,199 --> 00:38:30,400 And but I look in there when I go in 787 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,360 that building, and I never get tired of standing in 788 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,199 there for the national anthem and watching those seats still. Yeah, 789 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,119 and it's it's something that for the rest of my 790 00:38:40,199 --> 00:38:42,159 life I'll carry with me as a point of pride 791 00:38:42,199 --> 00:38:44,559 of what we were able to accomplish here together. 792 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 2: With our fan base, and it's electric. Guys. Have you 793 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,760 never been creating the fam NonStop action? Uh? 794 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,440 Speaker 1: You know what's cool too, Coach.

We can't 883 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,320 have coaching on because they're playing the West Coast, playing early. 884 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,320 Speaker 2: But else you saw pall yesterday. 885 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: Split but they beat ucla top five team in the 886 00:42:38,119 --> 00:42:41,320 entire country.

They're not a badsoftball team by any means, 901 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,599 but you do have like a top five win in 902 00:43:17,599 --> 00:43:19,440 the morning, then you lose that game against cal State 903 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,960 full at night.
