00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,520
here with you. Turns out the new flashy tripod has

12
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,079
got a walky leg on it. You gotta go get

13
00:00:57,119 --> 00:00:59,240
the old one out of the attic. We gotta go

14
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,399
climb up there, get the dust off of it and

15
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,000
just say, you know what, sometimes old is better than news.

16
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,879
So it is US three. Flynn is on business with

17
00:01:10,079 --> 00:01:11,959
My High and it's kind of a big one, kind

18
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,719
of a big boy. So good luck to Flynn and

19
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,719
My High. He'll be back on tomorrow. We didn't get

20
00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:20,359
a chance to go to practice though on Saturday, so

21
00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:23,799
that was a lot of fun. We brought He brought

22
00:01:23,879 --> 00:01:25,920
Huck and I brought Memphis and so we had some

23
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,519
some junior OTB reporters out there as well, so we'll

24
00:01:29,599 --> 00:01:32,400
certainly break that down. But like we do every single Monday,

25
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:34,719
we got to see how the weekend went around the

26
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:37,920
room a Landra, Did you end up not doing anything

27
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:38,480
like you said?

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: So?

29
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 4: I didn't do anything on Saturday. I did work out

30
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,400
a little bit, but nothing too crazy. And then on

31
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,719
Sunday I deep cleaned my house. I'm in a real

32
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,840
good mood today, like my house is clean. Yeah, I

33
00:01:53,879 --> 00:01:56,319
went to the gym this morning, right, except Okay, so

34
00:01:56,359 --> 00:01:58,879
I went to go pick up my coffee at Starbucks.

35
00:01:58,920 --> 00:01:59,519
Speaker 2: Right yeah.

36
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: He was like, see you tomorrow, and I was like, oh,

37
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:04,760
I gotta find a new Starbucks. No, I can't be

38
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,239
a rag.

39
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: You can't be the sea tomorrow.

40
00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: See you tomorrow. Like that just feels so excessive as long.

41
00:02:11,159 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: As you use the app and you're not like t

42
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:16,560
Bob and literally get coffee every single day without using

43
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,319
this tool that if you scan it, No, I probably

44
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,719
have free coffee for a year, right, No.

45
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 4: I use the app one hundred percent so that I

46
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,879
could get that free coffee.

47
00:02:25,439 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 2: As you should have.

48
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:26,479
Speaker 3: Yeah.

49
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: I don't still don't know what Bob he's doing. But

50
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,159
the biggest like I'm stealing from my rewards program.

51
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,879
Speaker 5: The rewards out of it. He makes funny. He would

52
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:37,360
call a loss and be like, guys, I'm gonna be late.

53
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,120
The person in front of me took twenty minutes, like

54
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,639
order on the app ahead of time, walk in, pick

55
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,879
it up, and leave. He don't want to use the rewards.

56
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,319
Don't use that's true.

57
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 3: You don't have to use the rule, like you don't

58
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,159
have to get a free drink.

59
00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:51,599
Speaker 2: If you don't, you can stack them up, right, you

60
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,719
can stack them up and you can get cool stuff

61
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,439
like uh, you know, new cups and bags and coffee itself,

62
00:02:58,479 --> 00:03:03,479
like round coffee. No. That man, that man every single

63
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,719
day for five years that we worked together had a

64
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,759
coffee from Starbucks and never once to use that one time.

65
00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:17,479
Speaker 3: I do love that. Something about it being this tripod

66
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:18,599
feels so right.

67
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does. You the yo.

68
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 5: This morning, some are saying better than I'm.

69
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,719
Speaker 4: Here into I was like, okay, I'm the first waterfall

70
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:30,039
of it.

71
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 3: I gotta be ready.

72
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:35,319
Speaker 2: It's true. You gotta be is important. Really big steps,

73
00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:35,919
a big step.

74
00:03:36,039 --> 00:03:39,599
Speaker 4: But it's been like doing ad lib yos the last

75
00:03:39,639 --> 00:03:40,240
few years.

76
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:46,039
Speaker 2: Hey, yo, yo, it's not how this works the whole

77
00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:48,960
point to get everybody involved before we get you know,

78
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,039
like kind of initially.

79
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 4: Started right, and then we made fun of him for

80
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:55,280
the sports thing, remember like where he would be like.

81
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: Sports and then he's like you, oh you.

82
00:03:57,199 --> 00:03:58,879
Speaker 4: Didn't let that time and we're like, well, you can't

83
00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:00,199
do it. He hasn't done it.

84
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: You can't do it every day. It's not funny. You

85
00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:07,080
gotta do it like once a week and then oh

86
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,120
we'll snicker, right it because we forgot about it. Okay,

87
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:15,560
he's learning. Yeah, he's learning slowly, but he's learning. Uh yeah,

88
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:18,079
he is. Uh really though. It's a big, one, big

89
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,879
meeting from my high. Uh So, hopefully all goes well

90
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,000
and he will be back tomorrow. He's probably listening and

91
00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:28,959

92
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,399

at the bar where they're like we keep your card

110
00:05:18,439 --> 00:05:21,800
till the end of the night, which I hate. I

111
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,959
feel like not that many people do that anymore, but

112
00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:26,240
they did it, and I just I walked off and

113
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:29,000
I walked off and left it, and like we're leaving

114
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,399
that night, Victoria goes I feel like we're forgetting something.

115
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,000
I was like, you got your purse on your phone.

116
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,560
She's like yeah, it's like, well we're good. Walked right out.

117
00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:37,800
So I didn't have a debit card like all weekend.

118
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:39,240
I got it like yesterday afternoon.

119
00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, well they got like tap to pay now everywhere.

120
00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's that big of an issue now, I

121
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,439
mean where it's at and you have to get it.

122
00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: So like for for a while a couple of years ago,

123
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,560
I don't know why, but like I lost, like I

124
00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:58,920
lost my card something whatever, and so like because you

125
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,720
can do it on your phone, that's what I did,

126
00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:02,839
Like I was Apple Pay, tap to pay, like whatever,

127
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,199
and just continue to do it that way. And you know,

128
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,240
I travel a ton from December to February for college

129
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,800
football and it didn't matter because like hotels still had

130
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,759
to tap to pay and so like incidentals boom, you

131
00:06:14,759 --> 00:06:17,879
could do that. And I went to One and Out

132
00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:21,480
in LA and they didn't And the amount of paperwork

133
00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:24,480
and like back channels I had to do just to

134
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,879
pay for like incidentals to be able to get into this.

135
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,600
It was the year TCU and Georgia played for the

136
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,000

Speaker 3: I know, I don't like.

149
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 4: That either, But that's more like a bluetooth on your phone.

150
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because you have to have your phone.

151

152
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,720

00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:53,040
chip you in your sleep.

167
00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: No doubt, there's no there's no way teabops hand will

168
00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:56,519
be picked up on that.

169
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:57,879
Speaker 5: Scan which again I'm waiting.

170
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: No chance, which.

171
00:07:58,759 --> 00:08:00,959
Speaker 5: Again I'm good with because if it helps me and

172
00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:02,759
it's more convenient, you can chip me in my sleep,

173
00:08:02,759 --> 00:08:03,160
that's fine.

174
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: No, after Flynn said, yeah, we got a lot of

175
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,639
wrestling dog wrestling in the chat there. Hey, I'm hip,

176
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,560
I'm cool. I watched it with my boys, you did.

177
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:19,800
My fifteen year old and my thirteen year old. They

178
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,800
were watching it, and it's like, hey, we'll turn it

179
00:08:21,839 --> 00:08:24,120
on in the living room if y'all like, will stay

180
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,000
out here, hang out with mom and dad, you know,

181
00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:28,639
be present, play with Harlow, do the whole deal. Yeah,

182
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,039
and which they're typically good about. But you know, teen boys,

183
00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:33,879
they like to go play n C Double A and

184
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:36,399
be on their phones back in the room. And so

185
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:42,279
they're out and Brock Lesner comes out after John Cena

186
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:48,399
beats what is Dusty rhodess Son's name, Tody Rhoads, and

187
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,480
they like make this noise that I've never heard them

188
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,759
make before. And of course Harlow was like kind of

189
00:08:53,879 --> 00:08:57,000
napping in the back. She's they wake her up, like

190
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,840
everybody in the house with very excited.

191
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 3: Yes, they like Lesner came.

192
00:09:00,759 --> 00:09:02,399
Speaker 2: Out, Yeah, not even like they like Bride, but like

193
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,080
it was like nobody saw it coming or something. So

194
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,840
I definitely know all about it from last night because

195
00:09:07,879 --> 00:09:10,000
the noise they made when brock Lesner came out. It

196
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:10,720
woke up Harlow.

197
00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:12,879
Speaker 5: He's still a big deal, man. I mean, look, people

198
00:09:12,919 --> 00:09:13,960
in the chat are talking about it.

199
00:09:14,039 --> 00:09:15,519
Speaker 2: I know, I know. I didn't know it was such

200
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,240
a I didn't know that it was such a thing

201
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,600
still until my my boys started watching it again. It's

202
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,639
like it's on Netflix like every Monday, yeah, Monday night.

203
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,840
It is like a big like a big big deal.

204
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,320
Like the pay per views are on Peacock now, well

205
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:32,799
it used to be pay per views. Now it's on Peacock.

206
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,519
But I had no idea.

207
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,919
Speaker 4: Wait, so you don't have to pay to watch like

208
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,399
WrestleMania or like the money in the Baber.

209
00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 5: The big ones.

210
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: You do this one like Summer Slam on Peacock. That's crazy, Yeah,

211
00:09:44,159 --> 00:09:47,519
which I guess you still pay for Peacock. That's what

212
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:48,240
I told the boys.

213
00:09:48,639 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 5: We used to have to, like I watch the credit

214
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,240
Card on the TV.

215
00:09:55,399 --> 00:09:58,759
Speaker 2: Forty five or something. You got to beg your parents

216
00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:02,639
like hey can I or WrestleMania or like my uncle

217
00:10:02,799 --> 00:10:06,080
shout out Sammy like he'd get it and like we'd

218
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,879
all go over there watch Survivor series or whatever it was.

219
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,240
And then the next one crazy my dad would get

220
00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:13,159
and everybody, all the cousins will come over to our

221
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,279
house now just right there on peakle.

222
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:18,399
Speaker 5: And then we were an elementary USA network. They would

223
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,639
rerun they would rerun it the day after. Yeah, home

224
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,240
the day after and be like oh, and it was

225
00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:25,840
cool because like none of us had seen it, so

226
00:10:25,919 --> 00:10:27,360
it's all technically live us.

227
00:10:27,799 --> 00:10:33,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, it so easy. Oh you want to watch this

228
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:36,279
movie on demand, just go type it into the TV.

229
00:10:36,879 --> 00:10:39,519
You don't have to get the TV guide and see

230
00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:41,320
what day of the month it's coming on. And you

231
00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:43,759
better hope that you're home at seven when it starts.

232
00:10:43,879 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 5: Get a TVO.

233
00:10:45,799 --> 00:10:49,159
Speaker 2: This is before like t BO was like incredible because

234
00:10:49,159 --> 00:10:51,000
you could actually kind of go back and paul stuff

235
00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:54,440
all right before we take a break. Uh, we're on air.

236
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,679
We got everything going. When Elandra and I walked in

237
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,480
this morning, you were on the phone. And if somebody's

238
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,960
on the phone talking that loud at six fifty five

239
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,360
in the morning, it's never good.

240
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 3: I don't know.

241
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 5: So Friday we had the issue where it couldn't drag

242
00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:13,879
anything over. Well, guys, it's the same thing this morning. Now,

243
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,360
it wasn't the same for the midday and the afternoon show.

244
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:18,600
We had a temporary fix.

245
00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: On the.

246
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 5: Guys, believe it or not.

247
00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:23,399
Speaker 2: No way, I'm.

248
00:11:24,759 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 5: Pig for most of this crowday because if it happens over,

249
00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:31,120
Because if it happens over, there has been nobody knows

250
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,679
until I get here, and I'm like, hey, the hell?

251
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 2: So that's yeah. I think maybe we should start sending

252
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,679
somebody in here for like, I got a life check

253
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:39,159
on Sunday.

254
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,639
Speaker 5: Out pretty quick, do it.

255
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:43,919
Speaker 3: I'm here Sundays anyway.

256
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,279
Speaker 2: I don't think you need to do any more than

257
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,000
you already do. I was calling somebody outside of this

258
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,879
room who wants to come in here.

259
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 5: We got to work around. And I know what you're saying.

260
00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:54,799
This was a workaround we had on Friday. Yeah, I

261
00:11:54,799 --> 00:11:58,000
didn't think about it on Friday broke midshow, I didn't

262
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,320
think about it. We're gonna use the livery it's back

263
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,399
here video call.

264
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 2: Look, I'm a meathead. I just sit up here and talked.

265
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,799
I don't know what in the world. Okay, got it ready?

We'll go to break when we come back. I think

00:12:14,879 --> 00:12:18,639
Tata went to practice. I went to practice. Flynn, who's

269
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:21,279

270
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,480
fun to get our eyes on the LSU Tigers. I

271
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,039

316
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,480
dot com. All right, Tay, I'll throw it to you

317
00:15:17,559 --> 00:15:19,879
before I kind of give some thoughts. You were at

318
00:15:19,879 --> 00:15:23,120
practice the full time on Saturday. I was also there

319
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,360
on Saturday. So let's see if you know, see if

320
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,320
some of the things that we saw actually line up.

321
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 5: First thing, when I highlights the secondary, because they were

322
00:15:32,919 --> 00:15:35,200
awful last year in fall practice, like you you could

323
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:35,559
kind of.

324
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: See it cut off.

325
00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 5: You could come see it coming a little bit last year.

326
00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:40,679
Like we had talked about their flaws, Yeah, coming into

327
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,399
the year last year, and that was the big concern.

328
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,200
I think the secondary looks really good, Like there's guys

329
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,559
battling for spots, like Stamps and Delane have kind of

330
00:15:48,559 --> 00:15:50,600
been the top two for the most part, but like

331
00:15:50,919 --> 00:15:53,679
Keen Jackson got in there and made place. DJ Pickett

332
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,720
looks the part already. The safety rotation which I love

333
00:15:57,799 --> 00:15:59,840
that Hawse and Cooley both got the start.

334
00:16:00,039 --> 00:16:01,399
Speaker 2: It was a little bit bigger than I thought he

335
00:16:01,559 --> 00:16:04,240
was off tape. No, no, oh Cooley.

336
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:04,519
Speaker 7: Yeah.

337
00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 2: I mean I'm not saying he's a giant, like he's

338
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,519
probably two eight two ten. On tape, he looked like

339
00:16:09,519 --> 00:16:12,120
he was like one ninety five, yeah, somewhere around there.

340
00:16:12,159 --> 00:16:14,799
Like I kind of went up and he made a play,

341
00:16:14,799 --> 00:16:18,200
and I'm like, say zero Cooley and I forget what

342
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,600
staff Moanro was talking like, yeah, I was like, okay,

343
00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:23,519
I did not have him playing that role and playing

344
00:16:23,559 --> 00:16:25,159
that side. So he flashed him as well.

345
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 5: Yeah he's big. If this offensive line can be average,

346
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,559
Caden Durham has a chance to be all sec. I

347
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,679
think he looks phenomenal out there. I mean, also, what

348
00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:41,000
you notice is seven on seven, eleven on eleven, Caden

349
00:16:41,039 --> 00:16:45,039
Durham's getting the ball very often. Like I think eleven

350
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,039
on eleven each period we saw he got the ball

351
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,399
first play and then first two plays and seven to

352
00:16:50,519 --> 00:16:52,080
seven they threw it to him out at the backfield

353
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,200
like they love going to Caden Durham. And then people

354
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,039
are gonna be surprised how versatile Bower Sharp is Yeah,

355
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,360
people talk about trade Desgreen. You know he's gonna move inside,

356
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,360
He's gonna move outside. I saw Bower Sharp lined up

357
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:04,880
at tight end with his hand in the dirt. I

358
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,599
saw him line up at slot receiver, and I saw

359
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,319
him line up at running back with Caden Durham. They

360
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:11,680
were on either side of Garrett Nosemier. That guy's gonna

361
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:12,839
play a lot of footballs as well.

362
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was having a conversation with the strength staff

363
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:20,200
and they said, probably the biggest surprise, in a positive way,

364
00:17:20,279 --> 00:17:22,480
of all the new people, be at high school or

365
00:17:22,559 --> 00:17:24,680
be it people that came in through the portal, Bower

366
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:29,160
Sharp certainly is that guy didn't didn't quite know all

367
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,319
the things that he could do. And so we actually

368
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,039
kind of line up because the defensive backs was something

369
00:17:35,079 --> 00:17:37,160
that I was like, Okay, this is this is better.

370
00:17:37,559 --> 00:17:39,920
This looks much better than it did a year ago.

371
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,039
I mean, since you already went for they were terrible

372
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:47,680
last year. The law and the transfers looked the part.

373
00:17:47,759 --> 00:17:50,880
They look like veteran players. Now pick it to somebody.

374
00:17:51,559 --> 00:17:53,920
I don't know if it's right out of the gates.

375
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,880
I don't know if it's in Clemson South Carolina, but

376
00:17:57,039 --> 00:18:00,400
at some point he has the look of some's going

377
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:01,960
to be hard to take off the field as a

378
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,279
true freshman. I don't know when that happens. I don't

379
00:18:06,319 --> 00:18:08,640
know how he evolves as a player and if it's

380
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,160
later in the season. But he was in there against

381
00:18:12,519 --> 00:18:15,039
the ones, I mean multiple multiple times. Now, he wasn't

382
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,240
running with the ones, you know specifically every single time out,

383
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,960
but he was rotating in against the one offense. And

384
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,839
so that's somebody that looks like so far, he is

385
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,680
living up to all the billing we had out of

386
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:31,000
high school. But my biggest takeaway of the entire practice

387
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:36,319
that I saw from inside run to eleven on eleven

388
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,599
to whatever drill it was, is Kaden Durham is going

389
00:18:39,599 --> 00:18:42,200
to be an all SEC running back. Ye I don't

390
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,839
know if his first team, I don't know if it's

391
00:18:43,839 --> 00:18:46,440
the second team. And the only reason average, the only

392
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,559
reason it's going to be second team is because he

393
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,839
might not get the rushes that somebody else gets. Because

394
00:18:52,319 --> 00:18:55,200
even last year, we're talking about somebody that had seven

395
00:18:55,319 --> 00:18:58,079
hundred and fifty yards on the ground, averaged five and

396
00:18:58,079 --> 00:19:00,680
a half yards per carry, and remember he had a

397
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,880
foot toe injury basically the final eight games, and he

398
00:19:06,079 --> 00:19:08,799
was never fully healthy. I cannot tell you how many

399
00:19:08,839 --> 00:19:11,839
times after a game we'd be getting on the team

400
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,599
plane and the coaches would be like, man, that run

401
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,480
that Cayden had if he was healthy, he hits his

402
00:19:17,519 --> 00:19:19,119
head on the goalpost, like he would have finished that

403
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,599
in the end zone, right, I forget you know which

404
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,039
game it was, But he had a couple where he

405
00:19:24,079 --> 00:19:26,759
broke out and look they were like sixty yard runs,

406
00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:28,880
but he'd get caught before he got to the end zone.

407
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,319
And like he is just gritting his way through this

408
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,279
foot injury. And so being a true freshman, knowing you

409
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,720
have elite speed and you are fully healthy, that should

410
00:19:38,759 --> 00:19:41,799
get LSU fans excited. And not only the seven hundred

411
00:19:41,839 --> 00:19:43,960
and fifty yards on the ground, but he also added

412
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,319
twenty seven catches. That's a pretty big number that probably

413
00:19:47,319 --> 00:19:50,960
puts him I think firmly it would put him in

414
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,519
top ten catches by a running back in a season.

415
00:19:55,079 --> 00:19:57,200
Like it's kind of that category, like it's right there,

416
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,119
probably only on the verge of that, and and that's

417
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,559
got to be something that continues to go up as well.

418
00:20:04,079 --> 00:20:07,720
Now it's training camp, so we didn't see a ton

419
00:20:08,279 --> 00:20:10,559
and it was what day three or four, we didn't

420
00:20:10,599 --> 00:20:12,519
see a ton of like blitzes and him having to

421
00:20:12,519 --> 00:20:14,880
pick up guys off the edge or pick up a safety,

422
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,440
you know, coming on the backside of a blitz. That's

423
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,960
where he had to go up. In my opinion, that's

424
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,079
where you're gonna miss Josh Williams, because Josh Williams was

425
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,079
he was mister fixer, right, he was the guy that

426
00:20:27,079 --> 00:20:29,960
would come and whatever the problem was, he would fix it. Now,

427
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
the ceiling might not be where Cadence was, but you

428
00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:34,079
knew Josh was gonna be really good in pass protection

429
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,000
as well. That's got to go up because LSU's gonna

430
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,359
throw the football and you're gonna throw the football a lot,

431
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,920
and that look, you can't in today's college football, really

432
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,599
any level of football. You can't have a running back

433
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,279
that's only a two down back. He's got to be

434
00:20:48,319 --> 00:20:49,920
a three down back, certainly with the way he can

435
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,119
catch the football. And so I want to see that.

436
00:20:53,279 --> 00:20:55,079
And if he has that, if he's gone up a

437
00:20:55,079 --> 00:20:57,799
couple steps in that, then I will I think I'm

438
00:20:57,799 --> 00:21:01,400
already standing fully behind my all sees he like he'll

439
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,440
be a he'll be a first team guy if he

440
00:21:04,759 --> 00:21:09,440
has thirty six catches, is really good in pass protection,

441
00:21:09,559 --> 00:21:12,079
and doesn't have to come off the field, He's going

442
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,400
to be a thousand yard rusher of healthy. Oh yeah,

443
00:21:14,559 --> 00:21:15,519
and that's gonna happen.

444
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 5: Like I'm good with him having twenty carries a game,

445
00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:21,039
Caleb Jackson coming in and spelling him for maybe eight

446
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,519
Harlem Berry, maybe you know six or seven, Like I

447
00:21:24,519 --> 00:21:27,079
want Kaden Durham to do the bulk of the work.

448
00:21:27,519 --> 00:21:32,119
Last thing I noticed, anytime a player like Aaron Anderson

449
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,599
misses practice, it should stand out. It didn't. And that's

450
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,359
not a knock on Aaron Anderson. It's because the rest

451
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,559
of the receiver room's really good. Like I had heard

452
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,359
a couple of people, you know, cause like the first

453
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,000
couple of days of practice we weren't able to go

454
00:21:44,039 --> 00:21:46,440
because it was like nine am Saturday. Was my first

455
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:47,039
time out there.

456
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had heard so.

457
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 5: Many people say, oh, Dustin Hill, Dustin Hill, Dustin Hill.

458
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,759
And I'm like, okay. Every year, just like in the NFL,

459
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,319
there's a guy that people fall in love with. Dustin Hill.

460
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,480
Looks like he's gonna actually play and play a lot

461
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,480
of football. Nick Anderson looks like he's almost full healthy,

462
00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:03,200
like Chris Hilden's out there catching balls like Kyle lark

463
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,240
and Anderson, Kyle Parker, Kyle.

464
00:22:05,079 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 2: Parker in the run game. And look, I know that's

465
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,200
not something that people want to hear a lot about

466
00:22:10,279 --> 00:22:14,119
a receiver in the run game. They're asking their receivers

467
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,880
to do more on the edge. I don't know if

468
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,640
you noticed that. And again it's one practice. They got

469
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,160
some runs up where they're asking their receivers to do

470
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,039
their part, and Kyle Parker was a dog out there

471
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,079
on the edge. Now again, you've got ten receivers that

472
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,359
feel like they can go out there and find time.

473
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,559
And I don't know how that's going to work itself out,

474
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,559
but that feels like something that they're looking for is

475
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,400
receivers they can also do their part on the edges.

476
00:22:39,599 --> 00:22:42,519
Speaker 5: Well, Kelly's opening press conference that I had to go

477
00:22:42,599 --> 00:22:46,839
to on Wednesday unsolicited mention Kyle Parker by name when

478
00:22:46,839 --> 00:22:49,039
I asked about the receivers. Like anytime a coacher does

479
00:22:49,039 --> 00:22:51,319
that when not being specifically asked about a player, that's

480
00:22:51,319 --> 00:22:52,119
something I take notes.

481
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,279
Speaker 2: I'll say this too. I had an offensive coach did

482
00:22:54,279 --> 00:22:57,720
the same thing after practice. Well, yeah, he was really.

483
00:22:57,559 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 5: Good the first three or four games of the year,

484
00:22:59,079 --> 00:23:02,119
maybe called the deep ball into UCLA and was kind

485
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,119
of hurt. The rest of the year, he looks good.

486
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,680
But Juwan Johnson is a guy that like he got

487
00:23:08,759 --> 00:23:12,359
carries in the backfield, a ton of them on Saturday.

488
00:23:12,759 --> 00:23:15,000
Like I left Saturday practice being like, Okay, if the

489
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,759
season started today, Jawan Johnson's your number two running back.

490
00:23:18,319 --> 00:23:20,640
And you know when the two's were out there in

491
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,519
seven on seven he rotated in with with Michael van

492
00:23:23,559 --> 00:23:25,759
Buren at quarterback. He didn't have the red jersey on,

493
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,119
but yeah, he lined up out wide, he lined up

494
00:23:28,839 --> 00:23:29,519
there's a plan for you.

495
00:23:29,599 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 2: He lined up at.

496
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,599
Speaker 5: Running back like he's gonna play.

497
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think there's any question it. I'm be honest, Like,

498
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,720
backup running back is a little bit of a worry

499
00:23:37,759 --> 00:23:43,559
for me because you have two true freshmen. Now, I

500
00:23:43,559 --> 00:23:45,039
I can't sit up here and act like I don't

501
00:23:45,039 --> 00:23:46,680
always say it, because I do. Like, if you can

502
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,000
transition from high school to college fast, it's going to

503
00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:51,960
be at running back. But still that might take four

504
00:23:52,319 --> 00:23:56,200
five games, Like doesn't matter how good you are, Like,

505
00:23:56,279 --> 00:23:58,599
think about all this stud running back like Leonard Fournetes

506
00:23:58,599 --> 00:24:00,400
freshman year, was a grown man. But it took him

507
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,039
like three or four games. Because you've always been able

508
00:24:04,039 --> 00:24:06,640
to get the football and hit a home run like

509
00:24:06,799 --> 00:24:09,240
your head's on the goalpost. You got to learn how

510
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,799
to read it a little bit right. It's faster. You

511
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,799
got to take a seven yard run and not always

512
00:24:13,799 --> 00:24:15,680
look for the seventy yard run. And Leonard did that

513
00:24:15,759 --> 00:24:19,559
incredibly fast. But are these backs like J. T. Lindsay's

514
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,279
long man. His frame is going to be able to

515
00:24:22,319 --> 00:24:25,160
add a ton more to it, Maybe not this year,

516
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,599
but certainly next year. And those young guys are going

517
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:32,759
to play. Caleb Jackson's got to be effective for this team.

518
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,319
He just has to be. There's no question about it.

519
00:24:35,799 --> 00:24:38,440
Like as much as I think Cayden Dorman can be Superman,

520
00:24:39,279 --> 00:24:42,279
He's going to need a breather. He's gonna there's gonna

521
00:24:42,279 --> 00:24:44,680
be a time in a big game where he hits

522
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,920
a long run and he taps the top of his helmet,

523
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,680
ask him to come out and when Caleb Jackson rolls

524
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,759
out there, they have to get production. He is one

525
00:24:53,759 --> 00:24:56,400
of the most important players I think on this football team.

526
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,200
Certainly non starters because of what they have to have

527
00:25:00,279 --> 00:25:02,119
him do, not what they would like for him to do.

528
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,880
They have to have him be successful when he's out there.

529
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, at least just like you don't. You

530
00:25:08,559 --> 00:25:12,039
don't have that short yardage back. And I understand Josh

531
00:25:12,079 --> 00:25:14,640
Williams wasn't built like a short yardage back, but he

532
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:15,240
was damn good.

533
00:25:16,079 --> 00:25:16,599
Speaker 2: He came back.

534
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 5: He was by by sixty year. Yeah, but he was

535
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,640
really good at it. Like kid En Durham could maybe

536
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,519
be that guy. But look, we talked about Jawan Johnson.

537
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,000
He's not really a short yardage guy. He's more of

538
00:25:28,039 --> 00:25:30,359
a finesse guy. Kind of the same thing with Harlan

539
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:31,000
Berry and JT.

540
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 2: Lindsay.

541
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,839
Speaker 5: There's gonna be a role for Caleb Jackson at least

542
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,440
in short yardaget at least early.

543
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:35,599
Speaker 2: In the year.

544
00:25:35,759 --> 00:25:37,799
Speaker 5: Happen to be because you talked about it like it

545
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,759
might be easy to adjust as at a running back

546
00:25:40,799 --> 00:25:43,599
as freshman. But they physically look like freshmen right now,

547
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,680
like they're they're a little on the lighter side. I

548
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,599
think they need to gain a little bit, so Calyb's

549
00:25:47,599 --> 00:25:48,400
gonna have to play early.

550
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,319
Speaker 2: That's all I was saying. With with j T. You

551
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,240
can tell, like, so he just got here. I believe

552
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,599
in the summer he wasn't an earlier. You can tell,

553
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,279
like you can look at him and say, oh, that

554
00:25:58,279 --> 00:26:01,480
guy can add fifteen pounds to frame with ease and

555
00:26:01,519 --> 00:26:05,000
not lose anything. But he's not gonna do it right now,

556
00:26:05,799 --> 00:26:09,400
Like that's gonna take some time. Like Caleb Jackson is

557
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,799
going to be as important as any non starter on

558
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,960
this team offense or defense, because he's going to have

559
00:26:18,039 --> 00:26:21,920
to give you something, like there has to be something there.

560
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,599
It doesn't matter what year you look at for LSU,

561
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:31,599
Like the most historic seasons that LSU's ever had, they've

562
00:26:31,599 --> 00:26:36,400
had a bell cow, but they've also had players underneath

563
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:41,519
that bell coal that helped them win national championships. I mean,

564
00:26:41,559 --> 00:26:45,400
you can look at it in three like there's five

565
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,599
backs and seven. There's five backs and eleven when they

566
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,359
got there and didn't win it, but does a damn

567
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,359
good football team there was five backs. Clyde's kind of

568
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,240
the outlier now because Clyd's kind of in the similar

569
00:26:56,279 --> 00:27:00,559
situation that Barry finds himself in, or sorry, Durham finds

570
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,799
himself in. Because Barry, it's kind of like Emory and

571
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,880
you had TDP. He was a young player as well,

572
00:27:05,039 --> 00:27:08,799
and but for the most part, and still those guys

573
00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:12,640
made plays that year in nineteen, you're going to have

574
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,240
to have somebody step up, and it's got to be

575
00:27:14,319 --> 00:27:18,359
Caleb Jackson because you've got two true freshmen behind him,

576
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,160
So certainly going to be somebody we continue to watch,

577
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,319
and he's going to have to continue to develop, continue

578
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,039
He looks apart and we know he's got a skill set,

579
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,440
but he's got to put all that together to help

580
00:27:30,599 --> 00:27:34,359
LSU move the football. All right, let's talk a little recruiting.

581
00:27:34,839 --> 00:27:37,640
LSU had another big week and another big commit and

582
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,039
we'll do that when we come back here on OTB

583
00:27:40,599 --> 00:27:44,920
off the bench, all right, Good to All Star toylet

584
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:51,000
baton rouge dot com. Like I know that summertime, it's

585
00:27:51,039 --> 00:27:54,119
basically over, a lot of people go back to school

586
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,559
this week, and I'm sorry for that. I'm sorry that

587
00:27:57,079 --> 00:28:01,200
that moment has come right somber vacation and being toes

588
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,759
in the sand. All that's gonna end. But it does

589
00:28:03,799 --> 00:28:06,720
not mean that you still can't rent a Toyota from

590
00:28:06,759 --> 00:28:09,680
All Star because you're gonna have a trip. Maybe it's

591
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,799
a trip to go watch the Tigers player. Maybe you

592
00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:13,759
want to go watch the Saints play a road game

593
00:28:13,839 --> 00:28:16,480
like whatever it might or maybe I mean, maybe you're

594
00:28:16,519 --> 00:28:19,240
a high school football parent and you're playing, you know,

595
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,920
up in North Louisiana, and you're like, we need something

596
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,599
a little bit bigger. We got to drive up three

597
00:28:23,759 --> 00:28:28,079
half four hours. Go rent a Toyota. Everything is available,

598
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:29,880
So if you need something bigger, they've got you. But

599
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,920
always remember you're buying new, if you're leasing, if you're renting,

600
00:28:33,559 --> 00:28:37,079
everything they offer is always available in all three processes.

601
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,279
Go to the website today to reserve your vehicle.

602
00:28:39,319 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: All Star Toyota, ft roos thatcom, Tiger's turntalkre's this is

603
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,279
off the bench.

604
00:29:10,839 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 2: All right, Welcome back in OTB one O four to five, ESPN,

605
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:19,640
Baton Rouge talk a little LSU football, LSU recruiting. Bryce

606
00:29:19,759 --> 00:29:22,319
Kuon is going to join us to do so over

607
00:29:22,359 --> 00:29:25,640
there now at on three Sports. Bryce, We appreciate the time, man,

608
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:26,759
congrats on the new gig.

609
00:29:27,759 --> 00:29:31,079
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, no better time to start. Right in the

610
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,319
midst of the beginning of fall camp, and obviously with

611
00:29:34,359 --> 00:29:37,480
what the recruiting run LSU's been on. It's been quite

612
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,839
the run there too, So no better time to start

613
00:29:39,839 --> 00:29:40,440
than right now.

614
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,599
Speaker 2: They are absolutely on a heater. And it feels like

615
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,920
every time that we talk LSU recruiting this cycle, it's like,

616
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,440
all right, well, where did we leave off? Like who's

617
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,319
the last guy that they got that we talked about?

618
00:29:52,359 --> 00:29:53,920
And you try to like kind of play catch up

619
00:29:54,319 --> 00:29:56,759
a little bit, so for our listeners, like, what has

620
00:29:56,839 --> 00:29:59,559
the last ten days or so been like for LSU

621
00:29:59,599 --> 00:29:59,960
on the train?

622
00:30:01,319 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think you kind of hit the

623
00:30:02,799 --> 00:30:04,640
nail on the head. And just in terms of if

624
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,920
you're a fan, you're a subscriber to one of the

625
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,279
many message boards on this beat, it's like, you know,

626
00:30:09,359 --> 00:30:11,200
did you turn your head and you miss the commitment

627
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,960
or you turn your head and you miss kind of

628
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,880
the latest tidbit or nuggets. So it's really has been

629
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,880
a whirlwind, and you know, you kind of go back

630
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,000
to I guess Darius McKinley, which feels like it was

631
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,559
you know, five, six, seven days ago. It was just

632
00:30:23,599 --> 00:30:26,279
a couple of days ago. Obviously had of a Kadian

633
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,519
over there, brother of Don McKinley, and a guy that

634
00:30:30,319 --> 00:30:32,599
you know made his decision and really and truthfully, you know,

635
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,759
I didn't, I didn't. Nobody wanted to spoil it for him,

636
00:30:35,799 --> 00:30:38,359
But this was a race that LSU was really kind

637
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,759
of leading the whole way. I mean, you go back

638
00:30:40,759 --> 00:30:43,440
to the race for Dom and how LSU flips him

639
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,440
on New Year's a couple of week years ago, and

640
00:30:46,279 --> 00:30:48,480
you know, just Darius and what he brings to the table.

641
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,279
That with the way that family feels about the LSU staff,

642
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,599
even you know, into transition from from Bo Davis to

643
00:30:54,599 --> 00:30:57,599
to Kyle Williams, man, it's just just continued to stay silent.

644
00:30:57,759 --> 00:31:01,640
So Darius McKinley obviously going to Hu's LSU was there,

645
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,680
and he's been on sow campus so many times, just

646
00:31:04,759 --> 00:31:07,480
on family Day when the families allowed to practice. It's

647
00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:10,759
it's the amount of unofficial visits he's taken, probably rivals

648
00:31:10,759 --> 00:31:13,920
a guy like Lamar Brown, you know, who's right there

649
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,039
on campus. So that was a big pick up. And

650
00:31:17,119 --> 00:31:21,279
then obviously Menust Geralds I mean good Grier, I mean Jacob,

651
00:31:21,319 --> 00:31:23,359
I mean, I'm a guy that's from the state of Georgia.

652
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,319
Originally I watched Gerald's play up at Colin until multiple

653
00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:30,680
troops for making the move, you know, down to Louisiana

654
00:31:30,759 --> 00:31:33,960
and would you get a guy who and maybe I'm

655
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,759
a little biased here, but when you get a guy

656
00:31:35,759 --> 00:31:40,440
here is from Louisiana, understands the culture, understands what LSU's about,

657
00:31:40,519 --> 00:31:44,319
the relationship between his dad and Frank Wilson, and he

658
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,079
still gets to go play some really really great high

659
00:31:47,079 --> 00:31:50,000
school balls six, A, seven, eight all over there in

660
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,519
the state of Georgia, which is really really good at

661
00:31:52,519 --> 00:31:55,279
that level. I mean, it's just that's the kind of

662
00:31:55,359 --> 00:31:57,880
development piece you look at and you say, Okay, he's

663
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,960
doing it against guys that are going to play D one,

664
00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:01,720
and we know he's going to be able to make

665
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,599
the transition as long as the head's on straight. And

666
00:32:03,599 --> 00:32:06,039
that was something they just had to bet in terms of,

667
00:32:06,079 --> 00:32:09,079
you know, making sure that he understood that this wasn't,

668
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,640
you know, another six day high school football game. This

669
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,119
is this is the big Boy League. And so, you know,

670
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,920
LSU did a great job, I can say in terms

671
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,440
of making sure everything was right in this recruitment. This

672
00:32:19,599 --> 00:32:22,559
was kind of an organ lean for a while, but

673
00:32:22,599 --> 00:32:25,000
we had kept telling our subscribers, you know, hey, don't

674
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,240
count him out here. That relationship with his dad and

675
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,440
Frank Wilson who recruited him to Whole Miss and then

676
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,480
obviously with what he had going on in terms of

677
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,039
the amount of times he's been on campus, it just

678
00:32:35,079 --> 00:32:37,000
never felt like LSU was out of it. And I

679
00:32:37,039 --> 00:32:39,039
guess for Tiger fans it feels pretty good because if

680
00:32:39,039 --> 00:32:41,680
we're telling you LSU's not out of it oftentimes and

681
00:32:41,799 --> 00:32:43,720
not Austin Thomas and the crew are getting it done

682
00:32:43,759 --> 00:32:46,599
and able to kind of, you know, put the nail

683
00:32:46,599 --> 00:32:48,200
in the coffin with a lot of these recruitments.

684
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it really does bright seem like it's a

685
00:32:50,599 --> 00:32:53,920
point of emphasis to shore up the defensive line and

686
00:32:54,039 --> 00:32:56,599
kind of get it back to we all used to

687
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,160
know the LSU defensive line. That's not to say that

688
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,920
they haven't had in the past, but I mean you

689
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,359
would look up and there would be four pros in

690
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:05,880
front of you, and I know, like I like I

691
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,599
can speak on on our team, like our best player

692
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,480
on our championship team was a defensive tackle. It was

693
00:33:11,559 --> 00:33:14,920
Glenn Dorsey. And it does feel like Kyle Williams now

694
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,640
coming in as a defensive line coach, he's got kind

695
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,319
of a prototype that he's looking at, like some of

696
00:33:20,359 --> 00:33:23,119
these guys. They're not your three hundred and fifty pound

697
00:33:23,559 --> 00:33:25,759
defensive tackles, like you have some of that, but it

698
00:33:25,759 --> 00:33:27,720
looks like it's like the two hundred and seventy two

699
00:33:27,799 --> 00:33:30,720
hundred and eighty five pound defensive tackles, and they really

700
00:33:30,839 --> 00:33:33,079
kind of got, you know, a certain body type that

701
00:33:33,079 --> 00:33:34,519
they're looking for at that position.

702
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,799
Speaker 7: Yeah, i'd agree. And even being at a a you know,

703
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,240
fall practice on you're seeing type of drills to Kyle

704
00:33:41,279 --> 00:33:43,799
Williams is running these guys through and they want to

705
00:33:43,839 --> 00:33:47,160
be athletics stein Stett, I mean, yeah, you still have

706
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,200
to have, you know, your big run stuffers. You got

707
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,839
to have guys that can you know, take on a

708
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,599
double team and not be moved off the line. But

709
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,839
you got to have guys that are disruptors of this league,

710
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,519
right and you have to have guys that understand how

711
00:33:58,559 --> 00:34:01,240
to use and utilize their hands. Have you know this

712
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,160
this ability to shed a block and then make a

713
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,839
play in the bankfield. They're not just you know, stalling

714
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,639
the offensive line. They're pushing them back and making some plays.

715
00:34:08,639 --> 00:34:11,559
And you know, I think maybe the prototype of what

716
00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:14,280
we're seeing currently on that D line is a guy

717
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,559
like a mod bro who put on too much weight

718
00:34:16,599 --> 00:34:19,320
to even play defensive tackle. And now you're looking at

719
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,559
who they're recruiting in that kind of well to say

720
00:34:21,559 --> 00:34:24,880
two seventy to two ninety range, Well they're looking at Okay,

721
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,119
how are they utilizing bros. The guy who can move

722
00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:29,199
side to side? You know when he played along that

723
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,320
entire defensive line and rustling a couple of years ago

724
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,079
and that's what he was known for, and even playing

725
00:34:33,119 --> 00:34:35,199
on the edge a little bit. So yeah, I just

726
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,519
think where they're moving in terms of how they want

727
00:34:38,559 --> 00:34:41,559
to recruit this defensive line. Maybe you know, old school

728
00:34:41,559 --> 00:34:43,480
fans are saying, hey, where's the big three hundred and

729
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,039
thirty pounder, right, I mean one those guys don't grow

730
00:34:46,079 --> 00:34:47,559
on trees, and you got to make sure they can

731
00:34:47,599 --> 00:34:49,519
move a little bit too. And the guy got like

732
00:34:49,559 --> 00:34:52,360
Saverir Mitchell, who's you know, kid can be that for them.

733
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,360
But just in terms of how they're recruiting men you

734
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,559
look along that defensive line, I mean, uh, it's it

735
00:34:57,679 --> 00:34:59,320
has the potential to be one of the better ones

736
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,079
when you go back to the recruiting rankings, just based

737
00:35:02,119 --> 00:35:04,480
off of that potential, it's gonna be the chance to

738
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,079
be one of the better ones in LSU recruiting history.

739
00:35:08,079 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 2: Talking recruiting with Bryce Koon here on OTB and you

740
00:35:12,039 --> 00:35:15,000
mentioned Lamar Brown there and we all know, I mean,

741
00:35:15,039 --> 00:35:17,840
how highly touted he is. And it's so obviously like

742
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,519
him coming and committing and all that's like it's going

743
00:35:20,559 --> 00:35:23,000
to be a big get. But even more importantly, like

744
00:35:23,039 --> 00:35:26,559
from him being from U High being on campus then't

745
00:35:26,559 --> 00:35:29,119
look full disclosure, our listener, that's where my kids go.

746
00:35:29,199 --> 00:35:31,280
Our listeners know that way, talk about it all the

747
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,079
time and like that that look, that's even one of

748
00:35:33,119 --> 00:35:34,719
my worries all the times, like, man, are they really

749
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,960
gonna want to go, you know, to school at LSU.

750
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,199
I sure hope, so that they've been on campus their

751
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,199
entire lives, Like it's always a concern. But so like

752
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,559
to get him from where he was at school and

753
00:35:44,599 --> 00:35:47,679
now you've kind of got this little nice pipeline you've created.

754
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,519
But like last year you get Moses, now you get Brown,

755
00:35:50,639 --> 00:35:53,119
and a guy that's here in the city can kind

756
00:35:53,119 --> 00:35:55,239
of be that lead recruiter. So as much as like

757
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,320
on the field certainly helps, Like what Lamar Brown seems

758
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,599
like he's doing off the field for this class is

759
00:36:00,639 --> 00:36:03,199
also helping as much or you know, maybe it seems

760
00:36:03,199 --> 00:36:05,800
like right now because he's already locked in you know more.

761
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,199
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I mean I've kind of taken a step

762
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,039
further here with you. The leader that Lamar Brown is

763
00:36:12,079 --> 00:36:15,320
in the recruiting room is goes well beyond just the

764
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,760
tweet that he put out you know yesterday, right. I mean,

765
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,199
this is a guy who you know, has done the

766
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,039
camp circuit, has built relationships, you know, in terms of

767
00:36:24,039 --> 00:36:25,760
whether it was on the under under camp circuit or

768
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,840
wherever it was. I mean, he's building those relationships in

769
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,559
terms of saying, hey, you know, come play with us.

770
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,039
You know, Richard Anderson was a guy who I think

771
00:36:35,119 --> 00:36:37,079
is going to be an absolute monster out of vnic Car.

772
00:36:37,119 --> 00:36:39,320
I mean that guy you talk about he's big and

773
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,679
can move that That's exactly what he is. You know,

774
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,800
he and Lamar are super tight. I've talked with Richard

775
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,440
multiple times about that and just in terms of they

776
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,480
want to build it. Deuce Gerald is the guy that

777
00:36:48,519 --> 00:36:51,679
every single time Duce came to campus, whether it was

778
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,599
official or unofficial, Lamar Brown was around. And so you know,

779
00:36:54,639 --> 00:36:56,880
I always say that that the love from Texas A

780
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,519
and them and even some of the appreciation that was real,

781
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,960
that was never fake. And I think they did a

782
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,679
great job of recruiting him. But else she was always

783
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,280
going to be hard to beat. And you know, here's

784
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:07,639
the last part of it that you were kind of

785
00:37:07,679 --> 00:37:10,840
hinting at here. I mean, you know there's a safety

786
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,559
over there at Catholic that's looking to head up north,

787
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,480
and you're already trying to see in some of the

788
00:37:15,519 --> 00:37:18,159
push with you know, a move Lsu made in terms

789
00:37:18,159 --> 00:37:21,360
of bringing you know, a staffer from Ohio State down,

790
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,400
and you know, the big question is can you do

791
00:37:23,559 --> 00:37:27,960
enough to flip Blaine Bradford right and Lamar Brown? If

792
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,800
I have to have a guy, a player, or a

793
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,320
recruit helping me in that room, Lamar is one of those.

794
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,159
He and Blaine have a good relationship, and you know,

795
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:37,920
I don't know if it's something that else she's going

796
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,719
to be able to do. Ohio States had a pretty

797
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,840
good track record developing some safeties and they got a

798
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,960
pretty dangle one good one up there right now that

799
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,320
they're trying to pattern Blaine afterwards. But it's just one

800
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,320
of those things. Man, We're having guys like that who

801
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,559
are vocal leaders and build offensive relationships helps you so much,

802
00:37:54,599 --> 00:37:57,920
and it often goes I guess unseen because we just think, oh,

803
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,639
well they had more money here, they had this. No,

804
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,880
those relationships still do matter and they still play it

805
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:03,719
for a pivotal role.

806
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,039
Speaker 2: All right, Bryce, last one before we let you go,

807
00:38:07,079 --> 00:38:10,639
and we certainly appreciate the time. What's next, Like what's

808
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,039
next for LSU? What are some names to be out

809
00:38:14,639 --> 00:38:17,239
looking forward to see where they're going to end up?

810
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,519
And you know, kind of the next couple of guys

811
00:38:20,519 --> 00:38:22,960
at LSU fans need to really kind of hone in on.

812
00:38:24,119 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 7: Yep, I'm gonna tell you Green County, Mississippi Ride receiver

813
00:38:27,599 --> 00:38:31,880
Chase Matthews is announcing on August eighth. Talked with him yesterday.

814
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,039
You can check out that full interview over at the

815
00:38:34,079 --> 00:38:37,119
Bingle Tiger. But just kind of a synopsis. Cortet Tankton

816
00:38:37,199 --> 00:38:39,679
has really done a great job here. This is the

817
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,519
kind of a race right now for me, just talking

818
00:38:42,519 --> 00:38:44,920
with some people on both sides and in both programs.

819
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,559
Really it's Auburn and LSU. Derek Nicks over there on

820
00:38:48,599 --> 00:38:51,480
Auburn's staff, he's a Mississippi guy. I believe he's in

821
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,280
the Southern miss Hall of Fame there as well in

822
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,639
terms of his playing career. So he's got really good

823
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:00,320
roots in that state. Auburn's done a good job here man.

824
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:04,199
LSU's really pushing and kind of putting a hard selling him,

825
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,960
and his mom is a is a pivotal piece of this,

826
00:39:07,159 --> 00:39:09,000
and so his mom has played a big role in

827
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,519
his recruitment. She's gone on all the visits. She loved LSU.

828
00:39:12,639 --> 00:39:16,039
So that's what I'm watching On August eighth, he'll be

829
00:39:16,039 --> 00:39:17,639
making that decision and then the end of the month,

830
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,760
just kind of another one. Darius Gray, the big offensive

831
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,639
lineman that you know from up there kind of in

832
00:39:23,679 --> 00:39:26,320
the Maryland area. I mean, this is a kid start

833
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,679
of the Virginia area. It's one of those things where

834
00:39:29,679 --> 00:39:32,480
he loves Brad days and a lot of questions is

835
00:39:32,519 --> 00:39:36,159
would he be willing to, you know, move that far

836
00:39:36,199 --> 00:39:38,679
away and just talking with him. The amount of times

837
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,880
he's been to campus, the amount of times that Brad

838
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,079
Davis has reached out. I mean, look, you don't have

839
00:39:43,159 --> 00:39:45,559
to be a diehard LSU fandom to look up what

840
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,400
Davis has done in terms of recruiting good talent that

841
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,519
maybe he's not even sincessarily in the LSU region. I mean,

842
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,760
he's got a national reach with how he recruits, so

843
00:39:55,639 --> 00:39:57,400
great is the guy that I believe announcements on August

844
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:01,039
of twenty second Right now, I would probably put it

845
00:40:01,079 --> 00:40:03,639
as a South Carolina LSU race, which might you know,

846
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,039
peak some of the interests of LSU fans saying South

847
00:40:06,079 --> 00:40:09,920
Carolina really the game talk with him, man, it's his

848
00:40:10,039 --> 00:40:13,920
longest standing relationship. It's one that started very early on

849
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,000
in his high school career Tennessee Ohio State or in

850
00:40:17,039 --> 00:40:19,519
that race too. But you know, the Tigers have a

851
00:40:19,559 --> 00:40:22,920
really good chance. It's really snagged, you know, some really

852
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,880
good players before the season officially starts. And that's what

853
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,000
you want, right before these kids really get to the

854
00:40:28,039 --> 00:40:30,880
meet and statas of their senior year, get that commitment,

855
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,280
maybe get them for one last visit so they can

856
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,760
experience that game day atmosphere and know that's something that

857
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,079
Gray is excited to do, regardless of where he commenced

858
00:40:39,079 --> 00:40:42,159
on the twenty second. So, man, it's there's some potential

859
00:40:42,199 --> 00:40:45,360
for some spils fireworks before LSU kicks off against Clemson.

860
00:40:46,519 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 2: Are there? He is Bryce Coon good enough to join

861
00:40:48,519 --> 00:40:51,079
us at Bryce underscore Coon is to handle on social media.

862
00:40:51,079 --> 00:40:54,760
Game a follow there at Bengal Tiger on three also

00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,760
always throwing up LSU articles. Give them a follow as well. Bryce.

864
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,280
We appreciate the time man, look forward to our next conversation.

865
00:41:02,159 --> 00:41:06,280
Thanks though, all right, we will step away and when

866
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:10,000
we come back to end our number one, Taylor's top three.

867
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,440
I like that alliteration there. It was Taylor's top five.

868
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,360
I think Taylor's top three sounds better. We can talk

869
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,960
about it during the break alliteration triple t. I don't know,

870
00:41:20,039 --> 00:41:21,639
we'll figure it out. Taylor's going to give you a

871
00:41:21,679 --> 00:41:24,679

Speaker 1: Two thousand and seven. Champs Purple and Gold to the core.

894
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,880
This is off the Bench with Hester and Flynn, Matt

895
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,880
and Rouge's go to for all things Louisiana sports.

896
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,199
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in OTV. It's time now for

897
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:57,239
Taylor's Top three or we'll see how he's acting. Tata's

898
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,599
Top three.

899
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 5: Number three for me, it's Lushu's a big recruiting weekend.

900
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,360
I mean we just talked about it with with Bryce Coon.

901
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,239
You get Deucey Gerald's on board, you get McKinley, Darius McKinley,

902
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,760
that is on board as well. The Tigers aren't done.

903
00:43:13,119 --> 00:43:15,119
There's a lot of top prospects that are gonna be

904
00:43:15,559 --> 00:43:17,360
in the mix with the time BN. I think LSU

905
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,599
has done a great job. Like we were talking transfer

906
00:43:19,679 --> 00:43:22,480
port a little bit earlier. LSU could start eighteen transfer

907
00:43:22,519 --> 00:43:25,519
players potentially on this year's team, like whether it's high school,

908
00:43:25,519 --> 00:43:29,480
whether it's transfer. I think Kelly has done an excellent job.

909
00:43:30,119 --> 00:43:32,840
Number two for me, we're actually top two. We're gonna

910
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:38,079
be baseball, big, big stitch out over here. Julio Rodriguez,

911
00:43:38,119 --> 00:43:41,760
I should say he homered over the weekend as the

912
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,440
Rangers beat As the Mariners beat the Rangers. He became

913
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,840
the first player in Major League history to have twenty

914
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:51,079
home runs and twenty stolen bases in each of his

915
00:43:51,199 --> 00:43:55,119
first four seasons. Our guy made history over the weekend.

916
00:43:55,199 --> 00:43:58,639
And then Number one for me, it's it's Bristol Motor Speedway.

917
00:43:58,679 --> 00:44:02,079
We were talking about it, Darren, like the NASCAR sounds

918
00:44:02,199 --> 00:44:05,800
the game like you were talking. Game one actually got postponed,

919
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,559
which would have been a really big pictures duel. But

920
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,960
the sounds of that the NASCAR like ninety one thousand

921
00:44:13,079 --> 00:44:16,519
people in that stadium, right, yes, that is that is

922
00:44:16,559 --> 00:44:19,679
the biggest ever for a Major League baseball game. It

923
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,639
was phenomenal. Like you saw Tennessee do this against Virginia

924
00:44:23,639 --> 00:44:27,239
Tech a few years ago. They were at I think

925
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,639
they were at Talladego where they played that game, and

926
00:44:30,599 --> 00:44:33,119
it was awesome. They played the football game. The baseball

927
00:44:33,159 --> 00:44:36,559
game in Bristol was excellent. Like that's that. That's number

928
00:44:36,559 --> 00:44:38,480
one over the weekend by a long shot.

929
00:44:39,039 --> 00:44:43,519
Speaker 2: Where would y'all like to see a baseball game be played?

930
00:44:43,559 --> 00:44:46,599
Because they've actually branched out, we've had to field of dreams.

931
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 4: I want them to bring that back, Okay, I want

932
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,000
them to do that at least once a year.

933
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:53,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. That was awesome.

934
00:44:53,559 --> 00:44:54,079
Speaker 3: It's awesome.

935
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean even like you know the memes that

936
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,679
came out with Kevin Costner looking around stuff, it was

937
00:44:58,679 --> 00:45:03,760
still really really cool. Yeah, because baseball needs some juice, right,

938
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:04,880
they need something.

939
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 3: Just let them start doing steroids again.

940
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,639
Speaker 5: The conversation over the weekend, I heard a lot of

941
00:45:09,639 --> 00:45:12,880
people bring up does this help baseball more? Nascar? And more?

942
00:45:13,039 --> 00:45:15,960
I say it helps baseball more because like NASCAR is

943
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,960
such a niche market like, sure, but those fans are hardcore. Yeah,

944
00:45:21,199 --> 00:45:23,159
those NASCAR fans are going to go to that baseball

945
00:45:23,199 --> 00:45:24,960
game for sure. Like we talked about the sites, that

946
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,159
sounds it sounded like you were adding NASCAR race. I

947
00:45:27,159 --> 00:45:28,480
think this is huge for baseball.

948
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, it's really smart having the Braids there.

949
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,400
I would say of the NASCAR community, the Braids are

950
00:45:35,559 --> 00:45:38,880
probably the team that people root for the most. And

951
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,239
so well done. It was very, very cool. Hopefully baseball

952
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,159
does some more of that. Hey, the Braids actually won

953
00:45:44,199 --> 00:45:47,039
a game on Sunday. It lost I think ten straight

954
00:45:47,079 --> 00:45:49,920
on Sunday, So there you go. There's that as well.

955
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:54,280
All right, hello, somebody big fave kicks off our number
