24
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:14,719
a vibe check this morning. I mean, it's a Tuesday.

25
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,359
We always say on No TV we turned Tuesday from

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,000
the worst day of the week to the best day

27
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,560
of the week. Alandra, how we do in this morning good?

28
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,519
Speaker 5: I'm a little concerned because nobody has volunteered to do

29
00:01:25,599 --> 00:01:30,000
the women's basketball game tonight and it's an eight pm tip,

30
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:32,879
I know, And I'm not trying to do an eight

31
00:01:32,879 --> 00:01:33,400
pm tip.

32
00:01:33,519 --> 00:01:36,599
Speaker 3: No, No, did the APM tip last week?

33
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:36,879
Speaker 6: I know?

34
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,079
Speaker 5: No, I did it the women's basketball.

35
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:42,879
Speaker 4: No, the men's The men's was at APM tip. They

36
00:01:42,879 --> 00:01:44,280
were both at eight pm.

37
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I did an eight pm tip for

38
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,400
women's basketball. I don't remember who they played. Man, Maybe

39
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:50,200
it wasn't last.

40
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,719
Speaker 3: Both at APM. Jeezus, maybe it was the week before

41
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:53,519
APM tip off.

42
00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 4: Should be illegal, though, Like, let's you just let's just

43
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,000
put that out there and like it sucks because like,

44
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:02,480
no matter who does it, whether it's me, Brian or Jeff,

45
00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:05,680
we all have the exact same shift. Like their morning's

46
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,439
Brian's Morning show, Jeff Everett Louisiana Radio Network US here

47
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:11,280
we do the same show.

48
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 3: Like it's just it's it's it's not good. It's not good.

49
00:02:16,199 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 5: I'm trying to think when it was or what game

50
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,039
it was. It was like a Thursday, they had an eight.

51
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,159
Speaker 4: PM I remember that. So that was two weeks two

52
00:02:22,199 --> 00:02:23,680
weeks ago, I believe so, because I.

53
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,439
Speaker 3: Don't think they. I don't think ell She played it.

54
00:02:25,439 --> 00:02:27,000
Women's played a midweek this week, didn't they.

55
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,159
Speaker 4: I think they had that long week and then they

56
00:02:29,159 --> 00:02:33,639
played South Carolina Saturday instead of Sunday. Yeah, but whatever,

57
00:02:33,719 --> 00:02:38,439
mid week games suck and midweek eight pm games are awful.

58
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 5: Which speaking of, remember last last season for baseball, I.

59
00:02:43,759 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: Did a midweek Nichols game. Okay, Nichols is coming up.

60
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:48,520
Nichols is coming up?

61
00:02:49,039 --> 00:02:50,759
Speaker 5: Wait, do you remember that? And it was like the

62
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,560
longest game ever because Nichols beat Ellis.

63
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 4: That's the one that got rescheduled, right, like it was

64
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,400
initially in Nichols and they moved it because it was

65
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,960
like fifteen degrees or something.

66
00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:01,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they moved it later into the year and

67
00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:05,479
then we lost. Okay, if I remember correctly.

68
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 3: No, that sounds right because it it.

69
00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 5: Feels like one of the ones where it was like

70
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,759
we dropped a midweek to Nichols and everybody was like oh.

71
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 4: And it was also like halfway through the year, like

72
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,120
it wasn't early in the season either, So people were Yeah,

73
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,479
people were losing their minds. No, that was that was Nichols,

74
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,319
That was Nicklas. Yeah, it got it got rescheduled.

75
00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 5: Because it either went to extras or it like dragged

76
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,319
on forever because they kept scoring.

77
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:28,479
Speaker 3: It was something and it was.

78
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 4: I think that was a game they threw like eight

79
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,960
pitchers last year. Yeah, I think I think that's what

80
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:32,919
it was. Braxton.

81
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,879
Speaker 3: Now we do and doing good, doing good. Did you

82
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:37,800
catch any of the game last night? I know you were.

83
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 4: You had a long one yesterday. You were here till

84
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,719
afr you were here till.

85
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:42,879
Speaker 3: Six about six thirty.

86
00:03:42,919 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 4: I'd say no, thanks, no, thanks, by the way, thanks

87
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,560
for picking that up because I was going to pick

88
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:51,479
that up if you did not. So, uh shout out

89
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,000
to you guys. A little disappointed with Scream Unseen last night.

90
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,879
Be very honest with you. The movie was good.

91
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: It was how to Make a Killing with the Glenn.

92
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:01,479
It comes out.

93
00:04:01,759 --> 00:04:05,199
Speaker 4: I believe this Friday, either this Friday or this Saturday,

94
00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:05,960
great movie.

95
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: Like I really enjoyed it.

96
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 4: So the plot of it is he is like the

97
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,039
distant relative of a really rich family called the Red Fellows,

98
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,680
and there's like a fortune and it's all gonna get

99
00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:17,720
passed down, you know, to a bunch of different people,

100
00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:21,079
and he decided one day he wants the fortune to himself,

101
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,839
so he's gonna pick off his other family members one

102
00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:25,800
by one, but you know, make it look like an accident.

103
00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 3: It was a good movie.

104
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 4: I don't really know why it was called Scream Unseen,

105
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,600
like there was really nothing remotely scary about it, but

106
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:33,519
it was a good one.

107
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,399
Speaker 3: We enjoyed it. When it comes out, go see it.

108
00:04:37,519 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 4: I don't really remember anybody else in the movie as

109
00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:41,959
far as like big name people, but Glenn Pawell did

110
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,800
a good job. And of course he's in a big

111
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,879
time movie because well that's that's all he ever does,

112
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,920
is h is getting big time movies. So that was

113
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:53,360
a lot of fun last night. We'll probably do it again.

114
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,879
Got home good time. I mean I go to home

115
00:04:56,519 --> 00:04:58,480
nine to fifteen from a nine o'clock movie because he

116
00:04:58,519 --> 00:05:01,959
was right down the road, so not terribly late. We uh,

117
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,199
we had everything done pretty early yesterday anyway, So good

118
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,040
time there at Scream Unseen.

119
00:05:07,079 --> 00:05:08,439
Speaker 3: If you haven't done that, go do it.

120
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,199
Speaker 4: I think they do it once a month at amc

121
00:05:10,319 --> 00:05:12,920
over there own O'Neil and then movie Tavern does one,

122
00:05:12,959 --> 00:05:15,480
but it's all genres. It's not just a scream on scene.

123
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,639
It's mystery movie Monday. So it's fun me and Victoria.

124
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,959
This is our fourth time doing it and we've had

125
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,560
a great time every single time we've done it. A

126
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,279
little bit of bad news to get to or sad news,

127
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,480
I should say real.

128
00:05:29,399 --> 00:05:30,399
Speaker 5: Quick before you get to that.

129
00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 3: I looked it up.

130
00:05:31,639 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 5: It was Nichols and I remember this too, but I

131
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:38,079
was like, please let it be a run rule. It

132
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:45,759
was a run roll and seven innings, and none other

133
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,199
than William Schmidt was out on the mound to start,

134
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:49,560
I remember, and then.

135
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 3: Send us a text and OTV Chad.

136
00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 4: You're like, I'd like a run rule and we were like,

137
00:05:52,879 --> 00:05:54,759
well you didn't specify which teams.

138
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,319
Speaker 5: You gotta be real careful when you're asking for something.

139
00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,959
Speaker 3: I forgot about that.

140
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, So that was when Schmid just like God, his

141
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,600
control was all over the place.

142
00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: That was That was at that point last year.

143
00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 5: Five hits.

144
00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:09,399
Speaker 3: I think he had a lot of walks though too didn't.

145
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,759
Speaker 5: He actually no walks, but three strikeouts. Five hits that

146
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,120
did him dirty. O Co and DJ Primo came in,

147
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,519
walked to Jayden Newt walked to.

148
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,399
Speaker 4: Okay, I remember this game now. Yeah, nobody had it

149
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:22,839
that night.

150
00:06:22,959 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 5: No, who's the final thirteen to three man? Yeah, okay,

151
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:29,839
they got it this year.

152
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, hopefully it's not thirteen to three tomorrow.

153
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 5: I mean they won versus them. I think like later

154
00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:35,120
on or something.

155
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, they played, they played twice. Yeah, god, thirteen to three.

156
00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:42,480
That's that's ugly there. Maybe that wasn't the reschedule. One

157
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,800
of them was rescheduled. Whichever one was later in the

158
00:06:45,879 --> 00:06:46,680
year was rescheduled.

159
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,079
Speaker 5: I think that one was the early one because it

160
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,240
was cool. I remember it was cool.

161
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like it was supposed to be at Nickels.

162
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:53,800
It was like twenty degrees or something. By first bitch

163
00:06:53,879 --> 00:06:57,920
they canceled it. Yeah, So anyway, it's a little bit

164
00:06:57,959 --> 00:07:00,920
of a sad news to start the show. Obviously, you

165
00:07:00,959 --> 00:07:04,040
guys know, we got this Jonathan mox in Jersey on

166
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,839
on the desk right now, and that's because they're going

167
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,439
Thursday James Vanderbeet or Wednesday evening. But we we talked

168
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,519
about on Thursday James Vanderbeek passed away. Well, yesterday afternoon

169
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,079
I saw the news around one o'clock. I'm not I'm

170
00:07:16,079 --> 00:07:20,879
not sure when it exactly broke. Robert Davall, legendary actor,

171
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,600
passed away yesterday at the age of ninety five. Very

172
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,839
rarely do you get to use the term like icon

173
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,040
and be correct. Robert Deavall is an icon. I mean,

174
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,959
think think about some of the roles he played. He

175
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,279
was Tom Hagen, the family friend and the godfather, one

176
00:07:37,319 --> 00:07:39,759
of his best roles, one of his earlier roles. I mean,

177
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,079
I'll always remember him as Gus McCrae in Lonesome Dove.

178
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,120
If you've never seen Lonesome Dove, I don't know what

179
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,959
you're doing. Go check it out. I mean, he's in

180
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,920
open range with Kevin Costner, Like, think about the roles

181
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:55,839
he's in kicking in, screaming. He's Will Ferrell's angry sports

182
00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:58,639
crazed dad who kicks his nephew off the team.

183
00:07:58,759 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: Even Will Ferrell have.

184
00:07:59,519 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 4: The back and forth with Like, that's a little bit

185
00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:04,680
of a lighter hearted role for Robert Davall, but it's

186
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,399
a great role. Nonetheless, it shows his range, Like honestly

187
00:08:08,519 --> 00:08:11,680
my favorite, Like everyone talks about Secondhand Lions and Ben

188
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,680
Michael Kaine, great movie. He's in Gone in sixty Seconds.

189
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,839
I know Jacob Ester's seen that one because that's a

190
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,959
Nicholas Cage flick. I think of Robert Davall probably a

191
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,199
little bit differently than most people do, like the first

192
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,399
movie that comes to mind, and maybe it's because I

193
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,800
watch it once a year, but for Christmases, Robert Davall,

194
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,039
if you remember, in that movie, plays Vince Vaughan's dad.

195
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,519
When they're bouncing around from Christmas to Christmas. It's one

196
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,600
of the first houses they go to and it's Robert

197
00:08:40,639 --> 00:08:43,120
Daval and Jon Favreau and Tim McGraw are the two

198
00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:46,840
older brothers, Dallas and Denver. And then you have Vince Vaughan,

199
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:49,919
who we learned's real name is Orlando in that movie,

200
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,279
and Robert Daval is like, oh, well, you.

201
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,919
Speaker 3: Were named after the city you were conceived.

202
00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:56,519
Speaker 4: It's it's my favorite Robert Deaval role. He's hilarious. Vince

203
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,120
Vaughan's on the roof he bought in the brand new,

204
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,440
fancy satellite. He's like, there's not the wrong with my

205
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,519
old TV and just start yelling at him. Vince Vaughan

206
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,240
falls off the roof and the satellites hanging back cord

207
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,320
and Robert Daval's like, that's it, that's it, that's the

208
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,679
perfect picture. That's the one I one, and it looks

209
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,000
the same as as TV did before they even hooked

210
00:09:15,039 --> 00:09:17,679
up the satellite, and in classic fashion. But I mean

211
00:09:17,799 --> 00:09:20,320
just so many, like so many movies you can go through.

212
00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:23,360
We could spend this entire shot like the Natural Roy

213
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:28,240
Hobbs and Robert Redford in that movie Days of Thunder.

214
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,960
I mean, there's so many movies out there that you

215
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,840
could look at. And Robert Deaval is anonymous with It's,

216
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,879
i mean, the end of an era and ninety five

217
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,759
years old. You want to talk about a heck of

218
00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:45,440
a life, Robert Deval one of those lives. We're gonna

219
00:09:45,799 --> 00:09:48,559
we'll cut the opening segment a little short here. When

220
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,279
we get back, we'll break down LSU baseball. They got

221
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,200
a big win over Kent State. And then a little

222
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,759
bit later on Mina Landra are gonna we're gonna see

223
00:09:55,759 --> 00:09:59,000
how correct Haunt Palmer may be. So on Friday before

224
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,200
first Pitch, he put out five bold predictions for the

225
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,960
twenty twenty six LSU baseball season. One week in we'll

226
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,559
see if it's gonna be accurate or not. In those

227
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,519
five bold predictions. We'll do all that a little bit later.

228
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,600
But all that coming up. You're on off the bench.

229
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:14,399
Speaker 1: Off the bench.

230
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 3: They don't have issues. They don't have any issues. I

231
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,799
actually have any issues.

232
00:10:22,879 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 6: I actually think like tomorrow is maybe the best dose

233
00:10:27,039 --> 00:10:30,919
Taki's day. You're gonna have a great meal and you're

234
00:10:30,919 --> 00:10:33,360
gonna have football for the rest of the day with

235
00:10:33,879 --> 00:10:38,440
no other responsibilities, right, I mean, feed up watching some

236
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,159
ball with some family and friends around to go for dose.

237
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,440
Come on, I mean, it's it's right there. It makes

238
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,879
all the sense in the world. You're going to have

239
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,960
a utopic experience when you go for.

240
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 2: Dose on Thanksgiving. That's right, it's uh. You kick your

Speaker 5: You got it. Cop I'll see the.

251
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: Tomas Tigers turn talkers. This is off the bench.

252
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,159
Speaker 6: We all know hard work not just a slogan, it's

253
00:12:03,159 --> 00:12:05,039
a way of life, and that's exactly what you get

254
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,519
with PALA. Founded right here in Louisiana, prouably one hundred

255
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:10,720

256
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:11,440

266
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,519
Speaker 3: Yes, well, they say that.

267
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,879
Speaker 4: Famous and notable people when when one passes away, it

268
00:12:57,919 --> 00:13:02,080
comes in threes, and he does it one hundred. Literally

269
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,559
just informed me of this like two minutes ago. Jesse Jackson,

270
00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:10,360
civil rights leader, politician, minister, a man that wears many hats.

271
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,639
He has passed away at the age of eighty four.

272
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,519
It looks like CNN put this out about an hour ago,

273
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,480
so right before we came on air, Jesse Jackson gone

274
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:21,559
at the age of eighty four.

275
00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:25,279
Speaker 5: So it's four because Catherine O'Hara died.

276
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's true. Is it gonna be fours now? I?

277
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 6: Oh no?

278
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 3: I thought three was sane, right.

279
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 4: Well, Rest in peace of Jesse Jackson. Rest in peace

280
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:41,840
to Robert Devall as well. No easy transition out of that.

281
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,600
But before we get into baseball, let's go ahead and

282
00:13:45,879 --> 00:13:46,799
get this show started.

283
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,399
Speaker 1: It's time to get glowing courtesy of go Flow ivy spa,

284
00:13:51,639 --> 00:13:55,480
where hydration vitamins and a summer ready glow are always

285
00:13:55,519 --> 00:13:57,679
on SAP now for starters.

286
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 4: So, your LSU baseball team took down Kent State last

287
00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:07,320
night by a score of ten to seven. And if

288
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,840
you didn't watch the game, you're gonna look at that

289
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,639
ten to seven score and be like, well, LSU really struggled.

290
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:17,039
First thing, LSU had two bad innings, that's all it was. Second,

291
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,080
look at the number. I mean we broke down yesterday.

292
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,039
What Kent State did over the weekend. They scored thirty

293
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,360
three runs against a pretty decent Southeastern Lions baseball team

294
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,639
over the weekend and swept all three of those games.

295
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,360
This is a Kent State team that knows how to

296
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,879
put up runs. But when you go look at it

297
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,159
inning by inning, I mean LSU's cruising through the first

298
00:14:36,159 --> 00:14:37,879
two innings. They put up one in the first, they

299
00:14:37,879 --> 00:14:40,279
put up a three spot in the second, so it's

300
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,960
four to nothing going into the bottom of the third

301
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,279
or the top of the third. Jayde Nude has the start.

302
00:14:46,399 --> 00:14:49,519
He's doing really well so far through the first two innings.

303
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,759
It just kind of collapsed on him in the third.

304
00:14:51,799 --> 00:14:54,879
I mean his final stat line three innings pitched, gave

305
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,440
up three hits, three earned runs, three walks, four strikeouts.

306
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,240
But the first two innings he was really good. It

307
00:15:00,919 --> 00:15:03,320
was it was at third inning, so it's it's four

308
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,039
to three at that point, but LSU plates three in

309
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,759
the bottom of the third to make it seven to three.

310
00:15:09,879 --> 00:15:12,840
LSU cruises the rest of the way. I mean, it's

311
00:15:12,919 --> 00:15:15,879
it's three straights innings where you scored a run and

312
00:15:15,919 --> 00:15:18,320
you prevented Ken State from score to runs. You extended

313
00:15:18,559 --> 00:15:21,559
ten to three at that point, and your bullpens looking

314
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,919
really good. After Jaden knut Ethan Plogg goes an inning,

315
00:15:25,639 --> 00:15:28,759
no runs, no hits, strikes out, two walks. A guy,

316
00:15:29,159 --> 00:15:31,919
Devon Shearing comes in, he continues to be electric. Elandra

317
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,759
mentioned him yesterday as one of the standout guys over

318
00:15:34,799 --> 00:15:38,080
the weekend. I mean Devn Sheering one inning, two strikeouts,

319
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,519
no hits, and he came in there. He did what

320
00:15:40,559 --> 00:15:44,679
he needed to do. Maverick Crazy an inning, no runs.

321
00:15:45,039 --> 00:15:46,919
So I mean those three guys right there in that fourth,

322
00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:49,440
fifth and sixth inning really settled things down for you

323
00:15:49,559 --> 00:15:52,559
last night against the Golden Flashes. And in the seventh

324
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,399
inning you went to two guys and neither of them

325
00:15:55,399 --> 00:15:57,279
had it. I mean that that's what it boiled down to.

326
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,000
You had a Dj Primo. He only goes a third

327
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,279
third of an inning, gives up two runs, a walk,

328
00:16:03,799 --> 00:16:06,200
gets a strikeout, but then you pull him out to

329
00:16:06,279 --> 00:16:09,440
the two runs you put in. Grant Fontna, Grant Fonto

330
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,120
got a save for you on Saturday.

331
00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 3: Grant Fonda was good for you over the weekend. It

332
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:14,679
just wasn't last night again.

333
00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:18,559
Speaker 4: A third of an inning, three hits, two earned runs,

334
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,879
he was pulled. The good news is you've gone to

335
00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:25,559
Gavin Guidry twice in big moments this weekend, and he

336
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,399
has came up huge in both spots. You go to

337
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,480
Gavin Guidry to get out of that seventh inning, he does,

338
00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:34,639
and he shuts the door on Kent State. In the

339
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:36,919
eighth and ninth inning, he goes two and a third

340
00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:40,480
five strikeouts, did not give up a hit obviously no

341
00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:44,919
runs as well. Gavin Gidrey continues to be huge for

342
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,559
this baseball team. I have loved everything I have seen

343
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,720
from Gavin so far. When you look at kind of

344
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,440
how the scoring went for LSU, Jake Brown is a

345
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,000
bad bad man right now. Two home runs on Sunday,

346
00:16:58,039 --> 00:17:00,000
including that Grand Slam that we talked about a little

347
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,000
bit yesterday. He launched two more homers last night again

348
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,839
for his second consecutive game. Mason Brawn the DH He

349
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,000
gets his first home run in a Tiger uniform. It

350
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,880
was a three run homer. In the second inning. First

351
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,160
baseman Zach Yorke he gets a solo shot. He had

352
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,680
a home run on Friday, his first swing of the

353
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:19,480
bat as a Tiger.

354
00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 3: That's his second home run of the year.

355
00:17:21,559 --> 00:17:24,039
Speaker 4: And then I mentioned all the relief pitchers in this game,

356
00:17:25,279 --> 00:17:29,240
going into that game yesterday, Mason Braun was one of

357
00:17:29,279 --> 00:17:32,480
the guys I wanted to look at, but kind of

358
00:17:32,519 --> 00:17:34,960
for a different reason. I wanted to see where they

359
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,839
were going to play Mason Braun in the field.

360
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:37,599
Speaker 3: They did.

361
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:41,079
Speaker 4: He wound up continuing to DH. But look at what

362
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,880
Mason Bron's hitting right now after last night. Mason Braun

363
00:17:44,079 --> 00:17:47,799
batting three hundred pretty good for your your opening four

364
00:17:47,839 --> 00:17:51,160
games in a college uniform. If he could lock down

365
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,000
that DH spot, that'd be huge for the rest of

366
00:17:54,039 --> 00:17:57,759
the lineup because I know Jay likes the teinker here

367
00:17:57,759 --> 00:17:59,599
and there and put a couple guys in different spots.

368
00:17:59,599 --> 00:18:03,759
But if Mason Brawn locks down DH, your lineup's almost set.

369
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,160
You had Curio and batting in the leadoff spot again

370
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,359
last night. Derek Curial is going to stay there. He

371
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,079
was one for four last night, but he's betting three

372
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,799
seventy five so far. That's who Derek Curiell is really

373
00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:17,799
when you look at average wise, Steven Milam is the

374
00:18:18,759 --> 00:18:21,720
everyday starter on your team that's struggling the most. And

375
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,759
it's kind of like we talked about yesterday when Zach

376
00:18:23,799 --> 00:18:26,960
Collen struggle. I don't care if Steven Mylam struggling early

377
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,119
in the season because I've seen him be super clutch

378
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,119
for two years in a row. Now, not worried about

379
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,799
Steven Mylam. He's going to come around and as I say, struggle,

380
00:18:33,799 --> 00:18:35,799
he's still hitting two sixty seven. That's just a little

381
00:18:35,799 --> 00:18:39,240
bit lower than everybody else in the lineup. Obviously, Jake Brown,

382
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,079
I mean three for five last night, two more home runs,

383
00:18:42,759 --> 00:18:45,680
two rbi. He had that six RBI, two home run

384
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,240
game on Sunday. So Jake Brown hottest hitter in baseball

385
00:18:49,279 --> 00:18:51,200
right now, You'd be hard pressed to find anybody hotter,

386
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:52,839
cater and beat.

387
00:18:52,839 --> 00:18:55,519
Speaker 3: He's batting four to twelve again.

388
00:18:55,599 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 4: I'm going to continue to say this Seth Dardar is

389
00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,759
going to lock down that spot at second base. He

390
00:18:59,759 --> 00:19:01,960
played again last night. He went one for two. He's

391
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,960
betten four hundred through the first four games. The interesting

392
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,440
thing I saw last night, you know, Stanfield apparently has

393
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,000
this little lingering injury. It's nothing serious, as I gonna

394
00:19:12,039 --> 00:19:14,640
keep him out long term. But Chris Stanfield did not

395
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,799
play last night, and it was actually Tanner Reeves who.

396
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:18,799
Speaker 3: Got the start in left field.

397
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 4: I was wondering, are they gonna slide Mason Brawn in there,

398
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,119
he can play a little bit of outfield. Is it

399
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,079
gonna be one of the other younger guys. It was

400
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,960
Tanner Reeves, So they're moving him around a little bit,

401
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,720
and he delivered. Tanna Reeves goes two for four with

402
00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:34,559
a run scored and RBI. He said in three, he

403
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,400
said in five hundred on the season. He was down

404
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,480
there in that eight hole last night, and he did

405
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,079
a nice job in the outfield. So the depth on

406
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:49,599
this team, pitching wise, fielding wise, it's incredible. And you know,

407
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,200
Elandra and Jake coming into the season had mentioned Jake

408
00:19:54,319 --> 00:19:58,200
Brown as you know, a lot of people would throw

409
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,839
out Jake Brown, but I'll give them credit. They had

410
00:19:59,839 --> 00:20:03,240
been Jake Brown is like, hey watch this guy. He's

411
00:20:03,319 --> 00:20:06,720
oozing with the potential Malandra for the first four games.

412
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,000
Not bad overall for our guy, Jake Brown.

413
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,039
Speaker 5: I mean, you can't really complain about all the home

414
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,319
runs that this man's hitting. But yeah, I mean it

415
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,000
was just kind of you could kind of see it

416
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,839
last season two and it was just kind of a

417
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,039
matter of time for him to like come into his

418
00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:26,000
own and he's been with the program older vet and

419
00:20:27,559 --> 00:20:30,000
we mentioned this. I think it was last week. He

420
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,160
would get playing time, but he never really had like

421
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,319
a chance to like really really.

422
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,079
Speaker 3: Shine my position.

423
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they played him at first a few times

424
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,960
then in right field he kind of bounced around.

425
00:20:39,079 --> 00:20:39,319
Speaker 3: Yeah.

426
00:20:40,039 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 5: So yeah, great for Jake. Very happy for him. He

427
00:20:43,519 --> 00:20:46,160
deserves it and he's worked hard. And he also is

428
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,279
another one that looks like he puts a muscle mass on.

429
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looks big.

430
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 6: Yeah.

431
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:50,759
Speaker 3: Hey, we talked about Curiell.

432
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,759
Speaker 4: I think they said on I think McDonald said on

433
00:20:52,759 --> 00:20:54,880
the broadcast twelve to thirteen pounds of Derek Kurial. I

434
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,400
wouldn't be surprised if it's the same.

435
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're putting work in in the weight room.

436
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 3: You mentioned this, don't look cute like outside of Steven

437
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,559
Malum who I mean, but he's also jacked. Yeah, he's jack. Yeah,

438
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:07,279
he's just sure.

439
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,039
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, I mean my own jacked that he's one

440
00:21:09,079 --> 00:21:10,920
of the best players on the team. But I and

441
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,720
Braxton were actually talking about it before the show started. Uh,

442
00:21:13,799 --> 00:21:17,359
the energy that Loshue brings when Zach York simply steps

443
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,960
into the batter's box is electric.

444
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 3: Come about when he had that stolen base. Oh, we

445
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:23,599
got a touch.

446
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 4: From Malandra last night, big boy stolen bas I mean,

447
00:21:25,759 --> 00:21:28,640
and and I had just just left the house.

448
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 3: I just missed it. Yeah, and uh, I looked down

449
00:21:31,039 --> 00:21:32,680
on my phone. I was like, gotta be Zach York.

450
00:21:32,839 --> 00:21:35,559
Speaker 5: He made two really good catches at first base too.

451
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,039
He made a pick and then he had the one

452
00:21:38,079 --> 00:21:40,119
where he had to like jump off the base to

453
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,240
get the ball but put his foot down in time

454
00:21:42,279 --> 00:21:44,880
to get the out that I'm like, how is this

455
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,519
big old dude so agile? But also as someone who

456
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,839
was slow when I played softball, I was also a

457
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,119
really good bass runner, so like you could be slow

458
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:54,799
but still know.

459
00:21:54,759 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 3: How to run some of the bases.

460
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,079
Speaker 5: And Lsu is four for four on stolen base s

461
00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:01,880
attempts so far on the season.

462
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,839
Speaker 3: Though like it was our ground. It was to the dirty,

463
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,400
so I mean he had a good head start if it.

464
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,039
Speaker 5: Was a yeah, it was like a pass ball. Yeah,

465
00:22:10,319 --> 00:22:13,440
but yeah, he I mean the fact that he can

466
00:22:13,519 --> 00:22:16,640
hit like that but is also an elite first baseman.

467
00:22:16,759 --> 00:22:19,160
We were so worried about Jerry Jones tried to tell y'all,

468
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,079
do not be worried. This man is He's gonna do

469
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,960
what he's got to do and love Zach York.

470
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:27,759
Speaker 3: Zach York. People don't realize.

471
00:22:27,839 --> 00:22:30,759
Speaker 4: I believe it was nine to nine seven fielding position,

472
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:36,160
fielding nine three at Grand Canyon last year.

473
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,839
Speaker 3: Like, think about how good that is.

474
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 4: A lot of people will see Zach York, they'll see

475
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,119
his his his build, I get it, and they'll be like, Oh,

476
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,799
he's gonna go in there, He's gonna dh for you.

477
00:22:44,799 --> 00:22:46,960
He's gonna bat in the four hole. Yeah, that's it.

478
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,359
He's not gonna do much else for you. Like, Zach

479
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,960
York is a plus defender. I mean we just we

480
00:22:52,039 --> 00:22:53,720
just threw that number at you, nine to nine three.

481
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,880
That's incredible. I mean there's there's not a lot of

482
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,640
first basement out there that have that number. So like,

483
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,960
don't let the build fool you on a guy like

484
00:23:01,039 --> 00:23:04,599
Zach York. He has been incredible so far at first base.

485
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,480
And you know, so funny when you lose a guy

486
00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:09,519
like Trey Morgan, like, in my opinion, still best defensive

487
00:23:09,559 --> 00:23:11,240
first baseman LSU's ever had.

488
00:23:12,039 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 3: You think there's going to be a big hole there.

489
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:14,599
Jared Jones.

490
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 4: The jump he took from when Trey Morgan left to

491
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,759
his final year here at LSU.

492
00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:22,039
Speaker 3: To now Zach Yorke. It's it's a lot like third base.

493
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 4: Like we had talked about it with Jay Johnson at

494
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,720
third base after Jacob Barry left. Remember Jacob Barry came

495
00:23:27,759 --> 00:23:30,359
in Jay's first year and maybe he was a one

496
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,920
and done. And then you bring in Tommy White. Everybody

497
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,000
saw Tommy White. He's a big guy. They were like, Okay,

498
00:23:36,039 --> 00:23:37,680
he's gonna be your dah, she's gonna hit a lot

499
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,240
of homers for you. But Tommy White at third base,

500
00:23:40,279 --> 00:23:42,000
and Tommy White's first year at third base, he was

501
00:23:42,039 --> 00:23:43,279
an adequate third baseman.

502
00:23:43,759 --> 00:23:44,599
Speaker 3: He was he was solid.

503
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 4: Tommy White's last year at LSU, he saved and won

504
00:23:48,319 --> 00:23:50,039
games for you over there at third base. He was

505
00:23:50,079 --> 00:23:53,279
a plus defender at the hot corner. Jay Johnson has

506
00:23:53,319 --> 00:23:55,640
a knack of bringing in these guys that he knows

507
00:23:55,799 --> 00:23:59,039
can turn into something defensively, and it's a sight to see.

508
00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 3: I mean, he's done it with your Jones.

509
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 4: It looks like Zach York, which Zach York was already

510
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,079
really good when he got here. He did it with

511
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,240
Tommy White. So when you see these guys in the field,

512
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,480
they're there for a reason. I mean, we talked about

513
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,799
the hitting of Mason Braun. Mason Braun was the number

514
00:24:12,839 --> 00:24:15,200
one first baseman coming out of high school last year.

515
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,160
Mason Braun's good enough to play first base on this team.

516
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,119
Jay Johnson and staff just trusted Zach York that much

517
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:22,640
to go out there and do it, so they put

518
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,079
Mason Braun at DH like the athleticism of him and

519
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,839
what this staff is able to do with guys like that,

520
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,519
very very impressive. And again the LSU Tigers ten to

521
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,640
seven victory last night over the Kent State Flashes. They

522
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,920
will take one Nichols tomorrow night in Alec Box. I mean, yeah,

523
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,079
tomorrow night or tomorrow afternoon one pm. Yeah, I should

524
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,880
say one pm first pitch. Kind of an early midweek

525
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,039
game there, but we'll take a time out when we

526
00:24:48,079 --> 00:24:52,000
get back on Palmer on Thursday leading up to the

527
00:24:52,039 --> 00:24:56,079

00:27:29,079 --> 00:27:33,160
Bench Taylor Sharpy with you Elandra vill Real, Braxton Risuto, as.

587
00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 3: Well Hunt Palmer.

588
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 4: Before the season, it was actually last Thursday on louisianasports

589
00:27:39,519 --> 00:27:42,640
dot Net put out five bold predictions for LSU baseball

590
00:27:42,839 --> 00:27:45,000
in twenty twenty six. Now they're bold for a reason,

591
00:27:45,039 --> 00:27:47,039
but I'm gonna be honest, I was looking at these

592
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,759
last night. I think a couple of these bold predictions

593
00:27:49,799 --> 00:27:52,119
may not be that bold anymore after the opening weekend,

594
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,319
and they might actually come true. The first one we'll

595
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,880
break down is the first one on his list. LSU

596
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,559
pitching leads the SEC and strike else through the regional round. Yeah,

597
00:28:01,839 --> 00:28:04,759
Yski's two for two on that s LSU's led the

598
00:28:04,799 --> 00:28:07,400
SEC and strikeouts both the Yearssky has been here, But

599
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,440
they don't have an individual pitcher in the top three

600
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,920
in the league. Okay in terms of strikeout so as

601
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,359
a staff they lead the league.

602
00:28:15,599 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 5: That act striking sense for what we have right now.

603
00:28:18,079 --> 00:28:20,039
But I think Cooper Moore, I was about to say.

604
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 3: Is eleven k's per game? I don't, I don't, I

605
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,200
don't know, if U.

606
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,079
Speaker 5: But also look out for Auburn.

607
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Auburn.

608
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 5: Stabborn's pitching staff is always pretty good. Tennessee will always

609
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,759
give you a little bit of competition as well, But Auburn,

610
00:28:35,039 --> 00:28:37,599
their pitching staff looks pretty good right now. I know

611
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,119
it's early in the season and they're playing like whatever teams,

612
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,799
which I'll say Kent State and Milwaukee Milwaukee less, but

613
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,319
Kent State is a really strip.

614
00:28:48,759 --> 00:28:51,359
Speaker 4: Thirty three runs against Southeastern, Yeah, and I don't care

615
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,960
that it's Southeastern, like they're only a pretty good baseball program,

616
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,279
But that's eleven runs a game over three game period.

617
00:28:56,319 --> 00:28:58,319
He scored seven againstel Was Shoe last night, like they

618
00:28:58,319 --> 00:29:00,599
were three and oh coming into that game. I do

619
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,160
like hunts description here though, or reasoning behind it. He said,

620
00:29:04,319 --> 00:29:06,400
you know, Yeskey did it with lou Coleman, Gage Jump

621
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,880
and Griffin Hearing two years ago. Last season you had

622
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,359
Kate Anderson and Anthony Hyinson said. The difference is you

623
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,480
had two elite starters not quite the bullpen depth, because

624
00:29:16,519 --> 00:29:18,119
right now it kind of looks like the opposite.

625
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 3: I mean you got cow and Rizzy here and Gavin Gidrey.

626
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:22,759
I mean, you know will.

627
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,519
Speaker 4: Case and Evans remain a starter. Well he go back

628
00:29:24,519 --> 00:29:27,000
to like, we'll see what happens there. But I mean

629
00:29:27,039 --> 00:29:31,519
Cooper Williams if he's not a starter, So I kind of.

630
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,319
Speaker 3: Agree with this, but I'm with you. Cooper Moore would

631
00:29:35,319 --> 00:29:36,160
be the would.

632
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 5: Be I agree with it, but I would watch out

633
00:29:38,039 --> 00:29:42,039
for Cooper more to definitely be one of the leaders.

634
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,839
Speaker 4: All right, the second one on here. Four pitchers earned

635
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:50,000
multiple saves. I mean Gavin Gidrey got one last night

636
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,559
and Grant Father had one on Saturday. So I mean

637
00:29:53,599 --> 00:29:56,640
we already got two pictures with a save. I could

638
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,559
see that happening because look, Sharon looks like he could

639
00:29:59,559 --> 00:30:01,680
be dominant in the back end. We've seen font No

640
00:30:01,799 --> 00:30:04,480
already do it. Gavin Gidry's going to be in the

641
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,079
close and role at some point, whether it's a setup

642
00:30:07,079 --> 00:30:09,880
guy or that true closer Zach Cowen. I mean he

643
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,240
did this a number of times last year, he didn't

644
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,359
really do much in the first weekend. You didn't ask

645
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,599
him to do that much either, But Zach Cowan's a

646
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,799
guy that could come in in high leverage situations.

647
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,359
Speaker 3: I think that I think that this actually does come true.

648
00:30:22,359 --> 00:30:22,680
I don't know.

649
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 4: I don't know about you, but I actually think four

650
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,359
pitchers will earn multiple saves.

651
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 5: I mean, we just threw out three again because of

652
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,680
the first one that we said, Like, the depth is

653
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,720
a lot different on this team than it's been.

654
00:30:35,119 --> 00:30:36,319
Speaker 3: I can see that happening too.

655
00:30:36,359 --> 00:30:40,559
Speaker 5: It's already like Gavin Guidry, didn't he get one on

656
00:30:40,559 --> 00:30:42,759
one last night? Well, I know he got one last night.

657
00:30:42,759 --> 00:30:43,880
Did he get it on Friday or no?

658
00:30:44,039 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 3: He may have? I know font no got it on Saturday,

659
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,359
went out earlier Friday. That's true.

660
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you're right, he was. He was one of

661
00:30:52,079 --> 00:30:53,279
the first ones else who got it last year.

662
00:30:53,279 --> 00:30:57,279
Speaker 5: Either way, I think that, yes, that can that can happen.

663
00:30:58,279 --> 00:31:01,119
Speaker 4: Third one not really a ball prediction anymore because of

664
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,160
what we saw on Saturday. Cooper more will get ten

665
00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:05,759
sec starts. Yes, as long as Cooper Moore is healthy,

666
00:31:05,759 --> 00:31:08,039
he's going to be a starter in this rotation. Is

667
00:31:08,039 --> 00:31:11,400
it always Saturday. Is it Friday or Sunday, doesn't matter.

668
00:31:11,559 --> 00:31:12,880
Cooper Moore is going to start.

669
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 3: On this team.

670
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 4: I mean, you saw what he did in Kansas last year,

671
00:31:15,839 --> 00:31:18,440
really strong in the preseason. Like that's a guy that

672
00:31:18,559 --> 00:31:21,839
Jay Johnson talked about and raved about him every chance

673
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,200
he got going into the season. It's one of the

674
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,519
reasons a lot of people were so confident that Cooper

675
00:31:26,519 --> 00:31:28,400
Moore was going to be a starter in this rotation

676
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,599
because you knew about Cason Evans, you knew he was

677
00:31:30,599 --> 00:31:31,160
going to get.

678
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 3: His shot to start.

679
00:31:32,599 --> 00:31:36,039
Speaker 4: And Jay Johnson anytime was asked about starting pitching, Cooper

680
00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:37,519
Moore one of the first names out of his mouth

681
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,279
every single time. When every time a coacher does that,

682
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,880
you know the guy's making an impact out there in

683
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,519
the fall scrimmages. And it showed up week number one.

684
00:31:45,519 --> 00:31:47,599
So I mean, I think I think that one's a given.

685
00:31:47,759 --> 00:31:48,319
Speaker 3: Cooper More.

686
00:31:48,559 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 4: Cooper More will make ten sec starts. I don't think

687
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,960
there's any question about that. Okay, here's the next one.

688
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:58,200
Here's where I think haunts wrong. And I agreed with him.

689
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,400
I read this on Friday when he put it. I

690
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,880
agreed with him on Friday I don't now LSU will

691
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,079
have six guys hit ten or more home runs, but

692
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,759
will not have a player hit twenty. I was with

693
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,759
him going into the season, but hell, if Jake Brown

694
00:32:14,759 --> 00:32:16,680
can keep doing what he's doing. He's got four in

695
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,119
the last two games. And I get it, it's it's

696
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,119
Milwaukee and Kent State. The competition is gonna get better.

697
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,839
But he's there. I mean, he's right there at four

698
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,279
right now after the opening weekend.

699
00:32:28,279 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 3: Jake Brown's on pace to do that. Does he get

700
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,240
to twenty, we'll see.

701
00:32:33,279 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 4: I mean, Alandra last segment mentioned how he looks like

702
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,640
he's gained weight, he looks like he's got more power,

703
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,720
and he was a guy that you know was already

704
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,079
a pretty good hitter a year ago.

705
00:32:41,799 --> 00:32:43,799
Speaker 3: The thing with Jake Brown, remember last.

706
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 4: Year, all they talked about was Jake Brown struggles against

707
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,200
left handers. That's what everybody said. That's why he wasn't

708
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,400
in there in the lineup. Right now, I believe he's one.

709
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,079
He's only facing a few left hand He's won for

710
00:32:52,119 --> 00:32:55,200
two against lefties of this year. If Jake Brown can

711
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,759
figure that out, he's going to be in this lineup

712
00:32:57,759 --> 00:33:01,279
every single day. I think Jake could hit twenty at

713
00:33:01,359 --> 00:33:03,880
least so far after what we've seen through the first

714
00:33:04,519 --> 00:33:07,519
four games of the season. Now I agree, I think

715
00:33:07,559 --> 00:33:10,440
there's ten guys that hit the that hit the ten

716
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,839
home run Mark Alandra mentioned did last week. Well you know,

717
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,240
she kind of brought up the moneyball phrase. I saw

718
00:33:15,319 --> 00:33:17,279
Hunt do that on Friday as well. It makes a

719
00:33:17,319 --> 00:33:20,440
lot of sense because you don't necessarily have to replace

720
00:33:20,559 --> 00:33:22,960
Jared Jones with a guy that's going to hit twenty plus.

721
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,880
But Stephen Mylom could do it. He could get to ten.

722
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,119
Zach York probably will get to ten. Look at what

723
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,759
Kate Aaron Beatie's doing so far. We just mentioned Jake Brown,

724
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,319
Seth A. Dardar has some pop in his bat. We've

725
00:33:34,359 --> 00:33:37,720
seen that come to fruition here early on. Mason Brawn

726
00:33:37,759 --> 00:33:39,960
got his first home run last night. He's got power.

727
00:33:40,359 --> 00:33:43,440
And then you know Derek Curiell. People kind of forget

728
00:33:43,519 --> 00:33:46,400
last year how many home runs he actually hit, just

729
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,400
because you see him at the top of the lineup.

730
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,440
He's a slender guy, he's a freshman. You're like, Okay,

731
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,599
this guy, he's a speedy guy, is gonna get hit

732
00:33:52,599 --> 00:33:55,400
for contact. He's gonna get on base. Derek Curiell hits

733
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,960
six home runs last season as a freshman, and he's

734
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,240
put on thirteen pounds of muscle. Why can't he improve

735
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,519
by four home runs. I don't see why Derek Kuriele

736
00:34:03,599 --> 00:34:06,319
can't do that. I think that's actually likely to happen.

737
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,480
I think Derek curiel does get two double digit home runs.

738
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,400
I mean, I could totally see six guys getting to

739
00:34:12,519 --> 00:34:16,559
that ten home run mark. The thing is, though, so

740
00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:19,159
Hunt's half right on this. Jay Brown could get to twenty.

741
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,920
If he keeps hitting the way he is, he is

742
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,760
going to eclipse that twenty home run mark.

743
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 3: And you kind of need a player like that.

744
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 4: Like, look, I'm all for of the six guys with

745
00:34:27,519 --> 00:34:29,840
ten plus home runs because like a home runs a

746
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,440
home run, it doesn't really matter who hits it. But

747
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,440
when you got that one guy that you know when

748
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,440
you need a big hit can come through. If that

749
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,400
guy turns out to be Jake Brown, that makes this

750
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,840
lineup that much more dangerous. I think everybody one through nine,

751
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,519
regardless of who's in there, where they're at in the

752
00:34:43,519 --> 00:34:45,400
lineup's going to be able to hit. I think Jay's

753
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,920
put together a deep enough roster to where you don't

754
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,920
have to worry about or is there really a quote

755
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,519
unquote week point in the lineup so far through the season.

756
00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 3: Not really. But if you have that.

757
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 4: One guy in your lineup to go along with all

758
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,480
those good hitters that I mean opposing batters, fee you

759
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,960
can take one over the fence at just the swing

760
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,840
of a bat, then that makes your lineup that much

761
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,199
more dangerous. That way, you can pick and choose where

762
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:09,880
you put Jake Brown. You can slide him in there

763
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,079
and be like, oh, we can bat him in the

764
00:35:11,119 --> 00:35:13,159
four hole, we can put him at the five. Jay

765
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,199
likes to have a power bat in the two hole

766
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,320
a lot of times. If you could move him around

767
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,039
and he can keep doing that, that'd be huge for

768
00:35:19,039 --> 00:35:21,519
your teams. I think I do think LSU gets six

769
00:35:21,559 --> 00:35:24,039
guys that hit ten home runs, but Jake Brown could

770
00:35:24,079 --> 00:35:27,400
be that player to get to twenty. And then the

771
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:32,320
final prediction Hunt had Mason Braun will get more than

772
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,519
three postseason at bats. Now, I'll give our guy a

773
00:35:35,559 --> 00:35:38,639
little bit of a pass here because you're probably thinking, well, yeah,

774
00:35:38,679 --> 00:35:39,400
that seems obvious.

775
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 3: I mean, he started day one, and d H.

776
00:35:41,639 --> 00:35:46,760
Speaker 4: Hunt said, I do think he's got a chance to

777
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,519
become a left handed bullet on this team.

778
00:35:48,559 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 3: He said.

779
00:35:49,039 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 4: If he starts opening weekend, then the boldness of this

780
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:54,519
prediction takes a hit.

781
00:35:55,039 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 3: He said.

782
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,199
Speaker 4: It's thirty hours before the lineup cards turned in. I

783
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,440
don't know if Braun will be in it. If he is,

784
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,599
the boldness kind of goes away. If not, watch out

785
00:36:03,599 --> 00:36:05,480
for Mason Braun is a weapon coming off the bench

786
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,679
for this team. Mason Brown's gonna get more than three

787
00:36:08,679 --> 00:36:10,559
post season at bats because I think Mason Bron's gonna

788
00:36:10,559 --> 00:36:13,760
be your everyday DH if all things holt. He's been

789
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,000
in that spot for multiple games now. He looks really good.

790
00:36:16,039 --> 00:36:20,920
And again I mentioned it on Monday. He's a guy

791
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,559
that could play in the outfield. He's a guy that

792
00:36:22,559 --> 00:36:24,760
could play for He was the number one first baseman

793
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,519
in high school baseball last year. He can move around

794
00:36:27,559 --> 00:36:30,199
a little bit, So han't forbid somebody goes down with

795
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:30,800
an injury.

796
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 3: I'll slide in there to first. You can move somebody

797
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:33,800
else around.

798
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 4: I can slide out there to the outfield, move somebody

799
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,559
else around, and he can DH. He's gonna get more

800
00:36:38,559 --> 00:36:41,360
than three postseason and bats provided he stays healthy. I

801
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,559
don't think there's any question about that. So what Hunt

802
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,519
got right? Mason Bron's gonna get more than three postseason

803
00:36:48,599 --> 00:36:50,880
and bats. I think he's half right. I think six

804
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,599
guys will hit ten home runs, but I think Jake

805
00:36:52,599 --> 00:36:54,639
Brown could make that twenty home run mark. We'll see

806
00:36:54,679 --> 00:36:57,039
how that falls. Cooper Moore is going to make ten

807
00:36:57,159 --> 00:37:00,719
sec starts provided that he's healthy. The pitchers can earn

808
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:06,599
multiple saves. The one to me the boldest the LSU

809
00:37:06,679 --> 00:37:09,039
leads the league in strikeouts but does not have an

810
00:37:09,039 --> 00:37:13,119
individual pitcher in the top three. Elandra mentioned watch out

811
00:37:13,199 --> 00:37:15,519
for Auburn. They got a deep staff and LSU does

812
00:37:15,559 --> 00:37:18,639
as well. But the way Cooper Williams or Cooper Moore's playing,

813
00:37:19,079 --> 00:37:21,000
if he continues that throughout the year, he can go

814
00:37:21,079 --> 00:37:24,519
six innings seven innings get you multiple strikeouts. I get

815
00:37:24,519 --> 00:37:26,440
the competition is gonna get tougher, but he was really

816
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,000
good all last season in Kansas. There's a chance that

817
00:37:29,039 --> 00:37:30,960
if this staff is as good as it could be,

818
00:37:31,599 --> 00:37:34,360
Cooper Moore's also in there in the top three strikeouts.

819
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,360
So again, that's one that's kind of half right. But

820
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:37,960
you know, I was looking at this last night. I

821
00:37:38,039 --> 00:37:41,119
originally saw it on Friday before the season started. Now

822
00:37:41,119 --> 00:37:42,760
I wanted to revisit it because it was like, you know,

823
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,519
these probably were bold before the opening weekend, and I

824
00:37:46,599 --> 00:37:48,280
don't like to do much of an overreaction. I just

825
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,559
kind of wanted to look on where things sit as

826
00:37:50,599 --> 00:37:52,599
one weekend happens. But I was looking at it and

827
00:37:52,639 --> 00:37:55,639
I'm like, I don't know how bold these are anymore.

828
00:37:55,679 --> 00:37:57,400
I mean, I think a lot of these are are

829
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,320
kind of right on the money. We'll see if they hold,

830
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,599
but uh, not bad right there as far as the

831
00:38:01,639 --> 00:38:04,239
bold predictions go. All right, we'll take a time out

832
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,320
when we get back. LSU announced the new partnership. As

833
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,360
far as the Jersey patch goes, we'll quickly talk about

834
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,320
that next Here on Off the Bench.

835
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: Off the Bench, from the locker room to the airwaves,

836
00:38:19,639 --> 00:38:22,800
gets Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.

837
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 3: Welcome back in final segment, Hour number one.

838
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,599
Speaker 4: Here on a Tuesday edition of Off the Bench, Tyler Sharp,

839
00:38:34,639 --> 00:38:37,599
but lundra Villa, Rial Braxton, Rizzuto here hanging out with

840
00:38:37,679 --> 00:38:44,199
you a year this morning. LSU Athletics announced yesterday there's

841
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,760
a new official legacy partner of LSU Athletics and it's

842
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,679
Woodside Energy. So Woodside Energy that logo, it's going to

843
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:55,199
be on all twenty one of LSU's competition apparel. And

844
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,880
if you know anything about Woodside they're offshore energy. They've

845
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,360
been working offshore in Louisiana for over two decades and

846
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,239
they just they pour a lot of money into the state.

847
00:39:05,679 --> 00:39:07,880
They just finished the seventeen and a half billion dollar

848
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:12,800
investment decision on its Louisiana LNNG projects. So they, more

849
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,679
than anyone, want to see this state thrive. And Mat

850
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,039
Muscoon on AFR actually did like a thirty minute sit

851
00:39:18,159 --> 00:39:21,679
down with one of the members of Woodside Energy yesterday

852
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:22,639
gave you the whole spiel.

853
00:39:22,679 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 3: You can go back on.

854
00:39:24,199 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 4: Twitter, Facebook, AFR, YouTube, any channel like that and go

855
00:39:28,079 --> 00:39:33,440
watch that full, full interview there with Woodside Energy. A

856
00:39:33,519 --> 00:39:35,280
lot of people have a lot of different thoughts about

857
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,119
this logo. Some say, oh, well, I hate it, it's

858
00:39:38,159 --> 00:39:41,599
ruining LSU Athletics and you're gonna look like a NASCAR

859
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,840
a WNBA logo. Some people are fine with it, and

860
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,360
you know, I'm fine with it. I don't really see

861
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,079
the big deal. Like some of LSU's most iconic moments,

862
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,079
have come in Bowl games, have come in national championships.

863
00:39:55,519 --> 00:39:58,079
You got a bowl game patch right here on your shoulder,

864
00:39:58,159 --> 00:40:00,000
you know, depending which one and the and the purple.

865
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,280
Speaker 3: Night you check on the other side.

866
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,639
Speaker 4: I don't really see the issue, especially since with what

867
00:40:04,679 --> 00:40:07,639
Woodside Energy did so their normal logo is red and white,

868
00:40:07,679 --> 00:40:10,239
they changed it to purple and white to match the

869
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,119
LSU uniform and to not clash with it. I don't

870
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,119
really see an issue with this, man. I know there's

871
00:40:15,119 --> 00:40:17,559
a lot of people out there, like I would love

872
00:40:17,599 --> 00:40:20,320
to know Haunt Palmer's stance on this, and I'm sure

873
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:21,840
Hunt's good with it too. I know, you know, he

874
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,679
likes to be the uniform guy and everybody gives him

875
00:40:23,679 --> 00:40:26,599
crap about it. But I'm good with it because it's

876
00:40:26,599 --> 00:40:29,000
gonna bring me money to the university. It's a step

877
00:40:29,039 --> 00:40:32,039
in the right direction, and it's historic. I mean, you know,

878
00:40:32,119 --> 00:40:35,440
you don't see this at all in college athletics. The

879
00:40:35,559 --> 00:40:37,880
NBA started doing it a couple of years ago, as

880
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,679
far as like having that one signature logo patch on

881
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,159
their uniform. But LSU they're gonna be, you know, at

882
00:40:44,159 --> 00:40:47,559
the forefront of this in college athletics, and that's that's

883
00:40:47,559 --> 00:40:50,039
how LSU is. They're they're at the forefront of most things.

884
00:40:50,079 --> 00:40:51,800
I mean, you know they have the the N I

885
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,840
L L s U sign that you saw in Times

886
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,039
Square a few years ago. I mean, everything all the

887
00:40:57,159 --> 00:40:59,719
changes going on in college athletics, it seems like LSU

888
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,280
is all always either spearheading that approach or somewhere right

889
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,599
there in the top. And that's why LSU has been

890
00:41:05,599 --> 00:41:08,760
able to navigate this and their programs have continued to thrive.

891
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,159
I mean, look at some of the programs in years

892
00:41:11,159 --> 00:41:13,519
past that were really good before the NIL and transfer

893
00:41:13,639 --> 00:41:15,519
portal era that maybe aren't there. I mean, look at

894
00:41:15,519 --> 00:41:19,000
the coaches that have stepped away. I mean Tony Bennett Virginia.

895
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:23,199
Tony Bennett Virginia said, well, you know my system, my

896
00:41:23,199 --> 00:41:25,119
program takes three to four years to get the hang

897
00:41:25,159 --> 00:41:27,480
of it. If everybody's gonna be one and done in

898
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,320
college basketball, I'm out. I mean, Tony Bennett left college

899
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,599
basketball before the age of fifty. But LSU is bringing

900
00:41:33,639 --> 00:41:35,559
in the right people and they know how to get

901
00:41:35,559 --> 00:41:38,000
out in front of things like this, and it's paying

902
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,000
off in a big way. Because, whether you like it

903
00:41:41,119 --> 00:41:43,119
or not, that woodside energy logo. It's gonna be one

904
00:41:43,119 --> 00:41:45,320
of the talks of college football. Dear an LSU's first game.

905
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,280
Everybody's gonna see it. Everybody's going to realize that LSU

906
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,320
is the one that started this movement, whether you like

907
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,000
it or not. And so I think overall it's a

908
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:54,639
pretty good thing.

909
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 3: Again.

910
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:59,119
Speaker 4: All twenty one of LSU's competition apparel throughout multiple sports

911
00:41:59,159 --> 00:42:03,199
will feature the wood side enter g logo. Okay, before

912
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,880
we go to break, because it's Marty Graul and I'm

913
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,559
not a big Marty gral guy. I've told you that

914
00:42:09,159 --> 00:42:13,519
parades aren't really my thing, and that remained.

915
00:42:13,519 --> 00:42:13,639
Speaker 1: Sure.

916
00:42:13,639 --> 00:42:15,280
Speaker 4: I mean, I haven't been to a Marty Girl parade,

917
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,320
and I think I was a freshman in high school

918
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:20,360
the last time I went to a Marty Girl prade.

919
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,320
I mean it's been a minute, but I was still

920
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,719
in Braxton before the show yesterday. Okay, you know where

921
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,679
Marty Girl originated? He's like, oh yeah, yeah, right here

922
00:42:29,679 --> 00:42:32,920
in New Orleans. Nope, how about Mobile, Alabama?

923
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 3: Braxton? About that?

924
00:42:35,119 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 4: The people in New Orleans, they don't like to hear that,

925
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,840
But I well, it didn't originate Inmobile. Let me back up.

926
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,639
It was It was European like medieval days. That's where

927
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:49,239
it originated. First celebrated in America Inmobile. Now do they

928
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:50,760
do it as big and as wild and his round

929
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,440
using New Orleans And no, nobody does in really terms

930
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:57,519
of anything, but uh yeah, movie in Alabama sixteen ninety nine,

931
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,920
first recorded celebration. I'm sorry it was brought to American

932
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,599
sixteen and none. The first celebration seventeen oh three. Now,

933
00:43:05,639 --> 00:43:08,920
I have been to a few Marti Girl parades in

934
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,920
the state of Alabama. I was telling you, you know,

935
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,280
we used to go on vacation and we'd get caught

936
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,119
in traffic on the way up there because we would

937
00:43:15,119 --> 00:43:17,559
always leave here because all the tourists would come here

938
00:43:17,599 --> 00:43:19,519
for Marti Graus, right, so if you live here, we

939
00:43:19,559 --> 00:43:22,760
would always go somewhere else, and we got caught in it.

940
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,400
It was actually one beach boulevard right there in Gulf Shores,

941
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,639
in the Orange Beach area. We got caught in a

942
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,239
massive Marty Girl parade. They have one in Daphne. It

943
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:31,880
was like an old fire truck parade. They would bring

944
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,320
out all the antique fire trucks. They did another one

945
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,400
in Foley, and it's so funny because the people out

946
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,800
there get so hyped up for Marti Gras and you

947
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,159
look at it and you compare it to what we

948
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,920
do here. It's just not even on the same level.

949
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,280
It's not even close. So like was was Mobile first? Yes,

950
00:43:48,559 --> 00:43:52,239
does New Orleans do it better? Absolutely so? Really no

951
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,519
competition there in New Orleans. Still the king of a

952
00:43:54,559 --> 00:43:56,320
Marti Gral. Hope everyone out there they're just going to

953
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,559
Marty Girl parades, have a good time, but stay safe

954
00:43:58,559 --> 00:44:01,280
out there. There are crazy people in this world, all right.

955
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,920
That'll pretty much do it for hour number one. Coming

956
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,039
up in hour number two, want to hit a quick

957
00:44:06,119 --> 00:44:08,519
LSU football segment. One of the top running backs in

958
00:44:08,519 --> 00:44:12,119
the country, highly considering LSU and he's actually a local kid.

959
00:44:12,119 --> 00:44:14,159
And I'll tell you why. Havin Lane Kiffin is the

960
00:44:14,159 --> 00:44:16,400
head coach of this program. Is perfect for moments like

961
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,400
these when you're trying to land an elite running back.

962
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,960
We'll of course have OTB mailbag at eight fifteen. Get

963
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,280
your questions in the comment section on YouTube. Will bounce

964
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,880
back and forth on that. Patrick Wright, the voice of

965
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,280
the LSU Lady Tigers, will join us at eight thirty.

966
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,199
He called all three LSU baseball games over the weekend,

967
00:44:32,519 --> 00:44:35,400
and that women's basketball game versus South Carolina on Saturday night.

968
00:44:35,639 --> 00:44:37,840
Busy guy over the weekend, and I didn't think he

969
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,559
was busy enough. So he's gonna hop one with US.

970
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,320
College football has a new member of the Mountain West

971
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,639
that will start immediately. So as of July first, twenty

972
00:44:47,679 --> 00:44:49,960
twenty six, there will be a member of the Mountain West.

973
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:51,639
And normally it's not a big deal, but when you

974
00:44:51,639 --> 00:44:54,239
hear which program it is, it might come as a

975
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:55,159
little bit of surprise.

976
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,280
Speaker 3: But I actually think it's long overdue.

977
00:44:57,519 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 4: Our number three, Nick Underhill of New Orleans Dot Football

978
00:45:00,519 --> 00:45:03,559
in his normal spot. Look, I keep hearing the name

979
00:45:03,639 --> 00:45:07,239
Jeremiah Love. Is that a serious possibility for the New

980
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,039
Orleans Saints. I know there's a lot of people out

981
00:45:09,039 --> 00:45:10,599
there that would like it. There's a lot of people

982
00:45:10,639 --> 00:45:12,199
out there that would hate it, one of which Matt

983
00:45:12,199 --> 00:45:14,639
Flynn that normally sits right appear on this is this

984
00:45:15,039 --> 00:45:16,920
Maybe you give you a little bit of an Olympic update.

985
00:45:17,079 --> 00:45:20,360
LSU thought they were losing a staff member coming back

986
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,480
after originally announcing he was gonna going to the NFL.

987
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,199
Then we'll close it out with Saints. We'll do ask

988
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,360
the bench, we'll do all of it. That's all coming up,

989
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,639
So we got a busy hour one and two again

990
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:32,920
