10
00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:32,000

Speaker 5: I love this song.

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 4: Let's get into a little big deal or no big deal.

25
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 6: A big deal, no big deal, big deal, no big deal,

26
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,760
big deal, no big deal, no big deal.

27
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,239
Speaker 8: No big deal, a big deal.

28
00:01:29,599 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 4: All right, a little refreshment here?

29
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 9: Is this the segment that when you started with hanging

30
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,519
a head A big deal and no deal.

31
00:01:35,879 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 3: I called it a big deal or no deal, and

32
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:39,760
I was like, this doesn't make any So what.

33
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 4: What did I call it? Because you made me change

34
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,040
the name of it.

35
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: You called it a big deal or no deal.

36
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 4: Yeah it was.

37
00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:47,079
Speaker 3: It was it was a big deal or no deal,

38
00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:49,000
and you were like, I don't like that, and so

39
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:51,159
we changed it to big deal or no big deal.

40
00:01:51,519 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 4: You changed. The best part.

41
00:01:53,239 --> 00:01:55,719
Speaker 3: About this is this is a segment that you and

42
00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:58,280
I did when we started radio together. You change a

43
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,640
name and then like, as we're coming back into this segment,

44
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:02,640
you're like, I got to come.

45
00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 4: Up with one of these. Yes, until we've always done

46
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:06,359
the segment, you.

47
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: Would tell your co host what we're doing.

48
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 4: We've we've done it for seven years.

49
00:02:12,159 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 9: B wrong when we can bat sign that I did it, well,

50
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:18,840
I don't care about you.

51
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: I'm saying we started this and then we've done it

52
00:02:21,159 --> 00:02:22,240
on the show here before.

53
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:22,879
Speaker 4: This is okay.

54
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: This segment is best communication.

55
00:02:25,759 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 4: This segment. Just say you're not prepared this segment.

56
00:02:29,479 --> 00:02:34,719
Speaker 3: This segment is for sports topics yep, that are relevant

57
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,840
but maybe not relevant to hear as much, but they're

58
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:42,400
certainly relevant in the sports world. So we're not going

59
00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:45,560
to spend a full segment on them, but we're gonna

60
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:46,759
spend some time on them.

61
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: That's what I got.

62
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 4: That's why this was put in.

63
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 3: Like the New York Knicks firing Tom Thibodeau after their

64
00:02:53,719 --> 00:02:57,159
best run in the last twenty five years and they

65
00:02:57,199 --> 00:02:58,319
fire their head coach.

66
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 4: Is that a big deal or no big deal?

67
00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:05,599
Speaker 2: That's a huge deal.

68
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 4: It's not one of the options.

69
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:09,159
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a big deal.

70
00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:10,759
Speaker 4: Thank you.

71
00:03:10,759 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: You don't want to rename it again?

72
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 4: No, I don't stop.

73
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 9: Uh yeah, because it is kind of wild to me

74
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,319
thinking about it. For what twenty five years, they've been

75
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:26,000
ultra irrelevant and so this coach comes in and gets

76
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,919
them to a place that maybe they're not fulfilling like

77
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,319
what they should.

78
00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: Well, they show their roster, I mean, because he's led

79
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:35,280
the Knicks to back to back fifty win seasons for

80
00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:37,479
the first time since nineteen ninety five.

81
00:03:37,639 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 9: Right, Okay, So maybe I'll say that a different way.

82
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,159
Maybe he didn't fulfill like what the potential could be.

83
00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:45,479
Maybe the front office thinks he's not getting what But

84
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:48,599
I think it's a little short sighted to say, like, look,

85
00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:50,439
we've been for twenty five years and this is the

86
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,639
dude that has gotten.

87
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: Us to the point where we have this potential. So yeah,

88
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:54,479
big deal.

89
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 8: I mean that's a huge deal. And saw something the

90
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,479
other day, I'm Thibodeaux. Twenty four playoff wins with the Knicks.

91
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:07,360
Every other coach combined in the last twenty years seven.

92
00:04:07,159 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 4: Playoffs, solid solid, Oh and it all.

93
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: Came from Mike Woodson.

94
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:12,479
Speaker 4: So Woods and seven Woodson?

95
00:04:12,639 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: What's in seven tiboo?

96
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 8: Twenty four? Every other coach the last twenty years and

97
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:17,000
no playoff?

98
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,319
Speaker 4: What Mike Woodson? I have not heard that name in

99
00:04:19,319 --> 00:04:21,480
the long Is he still coaching Indiana?

100
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

101
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 4: They probably not.

102
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,639
Speaker 3: No, Indiana got a new coach, uh Elandra.

103
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 4: Is that a big deal or no big deal? The

104
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,040
Nicks fire Tom Thibodeau.

105
00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:31,439
Speaker 5: I think it's a big deal.

106
00:04:31,519 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 6: This is somebody who doesn't really pay attention to the

107
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,639
NBA too much, y'all know.

108
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 5: I just pay attention to.

109
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 6: Spurs and then when the Luca trade whatever. But I

110
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,879
think it's a big deal because you made a great run.

111
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,639
So what are you firing him for?

112
00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 3: Makes no Stanse like you look at the last couple

113
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,639
of NBA champions. The Bucks have done this. The Nuggets

114
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:52,680
have done this, Like it's like if you win a championship,

115
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,639
they don't even care y, like move on from you

116
00:04:54,759 --> 00:04:55,319
so quickly.

117
00:04:55,399 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 7: Yeah.

118
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,439
Speaker 6: But also like, haven't the again, I don't know, haven't

119
00:04:58,439 --> 00:05:02,959
the Knicks like historically been not great for the Yeah?

120
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,399
So then your your coach brings you to the conference.

121
00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 3: Finals first time, winning fifty games in back to back

122
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,480
years since ninety five?

123
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, were y' all born.

124
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: In ninety five?

125
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:18,759
Speaker 4: No, I was born in ninety six and y'all worn Yeah,

126
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,120
think how much y'all have lived? Oh yeah, well time

127
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:22,639
it happened.

128
00:05:22,759 --> 00:05:24,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I think that's a huge deal.

129
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,519
Speaker 6: Why are you firing your coach that brought you further

130
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,560
than you've been since nineteen ninety five?

131
00:05:29,959 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 9: There's a problem with in sports and really I guess anything,

132
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:38,759
but in sports, the people in charge sometimes that aren't

133
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,040
boots on the ground there every day that make decisions.

134
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,120
Sometimes they make decisions based on like stats and putting

135
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,920
stuff thrown stuff against the board and saying, all right,

136
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,360
we got a great team, would we be better off

137
00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:55,519
with this this or this coach than our current coach?

138
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,959
Like could that get this team over the ear? Without

139
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,439
thinking about the relationship that that guy that that coach

140
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,560
has with the players, the everything that he's built there,

141
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:11,519
that's like his program. They tend to think it happens

142
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,839
a lot like are we better with this player instead

143
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,000
of this player? Not really thinking about what that player

144
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:21,319
or coach means, doubt everything else operates.

145
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: So I mean, that's again I wonder. I'm with you.

146
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,439
I'm not a basketball gay, but that's a stupid movie.

147
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, and I know it is in vogue

148
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,160
to do that in the NBA. Still does not make

149
00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:33,560
sense to me. And the Knicks will be worthless and

150
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,199
they'll be relevant because of the next the Knicks.

151
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 4: But they'll be irrelevant when it comes to winning games.

152
00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: Back to the status quo. Let's go not only that

153
00:06:42,879 --> 00:06:43,759
like the best players.

154
00:06:43,879 --> 00:06:47,319
Speaker 8: Jayalen Brunson, the assistant coach for the Knicks is Rick

155
00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:51,439
Brunson under Tom Thibodeau. Jalen Brunson after the game said

156
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,959
he wanted Thibodeau back. Like what's Rick Brunson's future? How

157
00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:58,879
does Jaylen Brunson feel about that? Like this is this

158
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,920
is not good And maybe they think Tibetou can only

159
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,639
take us to the conference finals and that's as far

160
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,240
as we can get damn sure, you get somebody better, though.

161
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:08,879
Speaker 9: What's a dumber move firing this guy or the GM

162
00:07:08,959 --> 00:07:09,680
trading Luca.

163
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 4: It's a two pretty dumb moves, GM trading Lucas.

164
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,319
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, both pretty bad.

165
00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: He got a bag of boiled peanuts in return. So yeah,

166
00:07:19,959 --> 00:07:21,759
I'm gonna go with that one. But both are pretty bad.

167
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:22,839
Speaker 4: All right? Are you ready?

168
00:07:22,839 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: I got one?

169
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:23,759
Speaker 4: All right, let's go.

170
00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 9: It's not a big deal. You didn't tell me anything

171
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:27,560
about the show until right now, but.

172
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:27,959
Speaker 4: Here we go.

173
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,839
Speaker 3: It is on the rundown at six big deals or

174
00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:32,040
no big deal.

175
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 9: The Saints currently are plus four to twenty five to

176
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,959
make the playoffs. The Pacers are currently plus five hundred

177
00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:47,639
to win NBA championship in this series that they're yeah, yeah,

178
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,480
So is it a big deal that the Saints have

179
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:52,680
a better betting record to make the playoffs and the

180
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,279
Pacers do to win the current NBA.

181
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 3: I actually think that's a huge deal. Like you would say,

182
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,319
that's a very big deal. I would like if my

183
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,879
money is on the line here, I would much rather

184
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,399
give it to the Pacers and a series are already

185
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,000
in and the way they've been playing in this postseason,

186
00:08:12,279 --> 00:08:15,120
the way they've come back like ninety seven times from

187
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,319
these scores that nobody's supposed to come back from before

188
00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:21,000
the Saints make the playoffs.

189
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:25,279
Speaker 9: Right, it's seventy five dollars difference too, plus four twenty five.

190
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: I mean that that's actually pretty wild. I that's one

191
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,040
of those deals where I hope I'm wrong. But as

192
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,600
we're sitting there talking to Ross, I'm looking at the

193
00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:36,279
Saint's depth chart and I'm like, oh, ooh, ooh, they

194
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,320
got some holes there, man.

195
00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:39,799
Speaker 4: And the roster it's thin.

196
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 3: It's it's got some it does have some juice to it,

197
00:08:42,879 --> 00:08:43,679
but it's so thin.

198
00:08:43,879 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 4: If you hear a couple of injuries away from just

199
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:47,879
total tank mode.

200
00:08:47,639 --> 00:08:49,279
Speaker 2: And I get it. Like the Pacers are fighting uphill.

201
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,759
Speaker 9: They're playing a team that's got one of the best,

202
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,720
like the greatest records of all time in the NBA.

203
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,360
It's an all time like team they're playing right now.

204
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 3: But plus five hundred, I'm actually going to go bet that, yeah,

205
00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:06,600
right right, that little shocking going to bet that breaking

206
00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:10,399
everybody everybody in here, Yeah you are everybody in here,

207
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,879
everybody in here, and that's that's Pacers to win the series.

208
00:09:14,159 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 4: So that's kind of been twenty five bucks.

209
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:17,279
Speaker 2: Let's go.

210
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, we're good.

211
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:19,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.

212
00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 8: It bothers me, Like we were talking about this when

213
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,159
the playoffs started. Everybody's like, oh, the Pacers came out

214
00:09:24,159 --> 00:09:26,679
of nowhere. They were in the conference finals last year's year.

215
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 2: Like they're not.

216
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 8: They're not out of nowhere. You have a bona fide

217
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,000
superstar and Halliburton. This is a young team. They can

218
00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:35,559
do everything. Like nobody's giving them a chance against Okay,

219
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,799
see it's wild.

220
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 9: So their best player, Halliburton, yep, PACER's best player didn't

221
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:44,840
didn't make the awesome team.

222
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:46,399
Speaker 5: That's crazy.

223
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 8: Also, like we didn't talk about this, Why are.

224
00:09:49,639 --> 00:09:51,519
Speaker 5: We disrespecting the Pacers.

225
00:09:51,399 --> 00:09:53,399
Speaker 2: Right, well we didn't. We didn't talk about this.

226
00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 4: Well me, No, the wolf Pack's not yeah a wolf pag.

227
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,480
I just put twenty five dollars win.

228
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 8: We'll pack that thought about putting this in weekend winners

229
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,279
that we did on Monday. Tyree's Hullaburton, I mean we

230
00:10:06,279 --> 00:10:08,679
talked about his historical triple double where he had like

231
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,919
fifteen assists, no turnovers whatever. Was not the m v

232
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,679
P of the Eastern Conference Finals. No, it missed about

233
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,320
what one one vote was great?

234
00:10:17,879 --> 00:10:19,279
Speaker 4: Did take over one game?

235
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 7: He did.

236
00:10:19,799 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 10: He had a couple of thirty point games, but like,

237
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,759
I mean, Albert was almost going to be a weekend

238
00:10:23,759 --> 00:10:26,440
loser for me. For that clip of him walking up

239
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:35,080
when they announced that, all right, this guy walking up

240
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,399
in fairness like the camera guys wanted.

241
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 8: Because the camera guys like, all right, he's winning it,

242
00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:41,440
so they zoom in on him.

243
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 5: Not a good look. He played it off right, he

244
00:10:45,159 --> 00:10:46,279
was like, I was just stretching, bro.

245
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 2: I did like his big nuts, big nuts celebrations.

246
00:10:51,399 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 8: What celebration celebration clip, It's like, yeah, whoa the Asian

247
00:10:58,879 --> 00:11:00,840
guy on Major League too, he did the same.

248
00:11:00,919 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah exactly, So my bad too big of a pause, No, no.

249
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:05,519
Speaker 11: No.

250
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 5: It, Ladra A big dealer, no big deal.

251
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,799
Speaker 6: We haven't talked about this yet, so I'll give a

252
00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:16,360
little bit of context behind the big dealer, no big deal.

253
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,399
So actually, maybe there's two in one. So Oklahoma is

254
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,440
out of the Women's College World Series for the first

255
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,720
time since twenty twenty. The boy yeah exactly, And then

256
00:11:27,799 --> 00:11:32,279
before twenty twenty, they were the chants like twenty sixteen

257
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,679
to twenty nineteen. So They're just like a ridiculously good program, right,

258
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,440
Patty Gasso is out there making history and stuff.

259
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,639
Speaker 5: Texas Tech knocks them.

260
00:11:40,519 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 6: Out of the Women's College World Series with their million

261
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:51,320
dollar pitcher, Kennedy. So last night they're playing Texas in

262
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:58,840
the finals and Kennedy is asked to walk Reese Atwood,

263
00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:01,840
their catcher. She throws them a little too much in

264
00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:05,960
the zone. Count is three zero, and Atwood just goes

265
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,639
for it and she knocks in the time run and

266
00:12:10,039 --> 00:12:14,600
the run for the lead. So Texas Tech loses that game.

267
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,519
Kennedy owns up to it. She's like, that's on me.

268
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,879
I couldn't throw a ball whatever, So big dealer, no

269
00:12:20,919 --> 00:12:24,399
big deal. The million dollar pitcher, Yeah, make it a

270
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,120
little oopsie.

271
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,639
Speaker 3: She is a incredible She's pitched every inning for them, yeah,

272
00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:33,879
in the College World Series. But it's a big deal

273
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,159
because they were trying to put her own base. The

274
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,879
catchers standing up, throw a ball. It's three to zero,

275
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,200
and that's the hit that loses you the game because

276
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,039
you couldn't throw a ball, you throw two hit a

277
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,519
ble too good of a kitch when you're trying to

278
00:12:49,639 --> 00:12:52,320
intentional walk one of their better hitters. It was a

279
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,879
wild scene and credit to her for being locked in

280
00:12:54,919 --> 00:12:55,759
and ready to hit.

281
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 4: I mean it is.

282
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 6: Well, so they asked Reese, well, they asked both of

283
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,759
them after the game obviously what happened there, and Reese

284
00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:04,840
was like, I knew.

285
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 5: That they were intentionally trying to walk me.

286
00:13:06,039 --> 00:13:08,399
Speaker 6: She was zero for ten in the tournament so far,

287
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,240
Reese Atwood was and she was just she said that

288
00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:14,120
she was just watching the pitches and she was like, okay,

289
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,679
I got to make a play for my team here.

290
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,320
So that last three to zero pitch she went out

291
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,840
and she got it, and she did. She made the

292
00:13:19,879 --> 00:13:23,480
play for her team. They went up to one after that.

293
00:13:23,399 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 3: So it probably would have been a hit anyways. But

294
00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:29,519
you can tell, like, yeah, obviously Texas Tech was flat footed. Yeah,

295
00:13:29,519 --> 00:13:31,639
you get catcher standing up and you're thinking, oh, they're

296
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:32,440
about to walk her.

297
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,279
Speaker 2: So they in softbare they got to pitch it, like

298
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,200
they actually got to throw them. Yeah, the four balls.

299
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah wait what do you mean.

300
00:13:40,919 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 4: Well like in baseball?

301
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, okay, yeah yeah yeah yeah.

302
00:13:44,039 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 4: Yeah man, yeah, that's a big deal. Uh, that's the game.

303
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,200
I'll be talking about that game a lot later on

304
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:49,919
this afternoon.

305
00:13:50,039 --> 00:13:54,039
Speaker 6: So, well, I mean, it's just crazy that Oklahoma gets

306
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,679
knocked out of it, but from one person. Well, like

307
00:13:56,759 --> 00:14:01,039
Texas beat them Saturday and then Tech beat them I

308
00:14:01,039 --> 00:14:05,639
think it was Monday. So just crazy that that program's

309
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,480
not winning another Natty.

310
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 5: That's all they do is I.

311
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,759
Speaker 3: Know in Texas has been in that Championship Series for

312
00:14:11,919 --> 00:14:14,759
you know, many of those losses to Oklahoma. So this

313
00:14:14,879 --> 00:14:17,360
for them is getting over at that Oklahoma home. Yeah

314
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:18,559
all right, Tata.

315
00:14:19,519 --> 00:14:21,639
Speaker 8: Well before we before we get to mind, like that

316
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,679
million dollar pitcher, I'm actually at home yesterday.

317
00:14:24,759 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: They're doing a story on her.

318
00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 8: So I think her total like in IL things like

319
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,679
one point three one point four yep, previous high softball

320
00:14:32,879 --> 00:14:35,840
nil deal was one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars.

321
00:14:35,879 --> 00:14:38,120
That's crazy versus one point four million.

322
00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:38,639
Speaker 2: Yep.

323
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 6: Well, like she single handedly took two teams to the

324
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,120
Women's College World Series, Like she was a Stanford last

325
00:14:44,159 --> 00:14:46,360
year yep, Eli, she faced her.

326
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,039
Speaker 3: Stanford was not great, their lineup was not great at all,

327
00:14:50,159 --> 00:14:52,159
and they got there.

328
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:52,159
Speaker 5: Because of her.

329
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,679
Speaker 6: I could say the same thing for Texas Tech, like

330
00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:02,320
they're not bad, but she's like their biggest Yeah. Oh yeah,

331
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,440
any team that has Kennedy's that's their biggest weapon.

332
00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:08,879
Speaker 5: But it's just insane. She took two teams there.

333
00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:10,399
Speaker 4: Yep, right.

334
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 8: The twenty twenty five FPI for college football, like National

335
00:15:14,159 --> 00:15:19,200
Championship bods, came out yesterday. The Tigers have a thirty

336
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,480
point three percent chance of making the playoffs. They have

337
00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:26,440
a one point eight percent chance of making the National championship,

338
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,679
and according to FBI projected wins, seven point nine wins

339
00:15:30,679 --> 00:15:36,000
for the Tigers, A big dealer, new big deal. It's

340
00:15:36,039 --> 00:15:39,000
a big deal because those numbers are low and they've

341
00:15:39,039 --> 00:15:39,960
gotten lower.

342
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 4: And there was some teams on that.

343
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 3: List because I talked about this yesterday that were highly surprising.

344
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 4: Tennessee is higher on that list than LSU. Tennessee's odds

345
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,000
are better. Nico im Maliaba is no longer there.

346
00:15:57,639 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 3: He's at UCLA, right, and Aguilar comes in from UCLA.

347
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,240
He's not the same quarterback. I mean, Nico still had

348
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,000
some struggles last year. You lose Pierce, you lose the

349
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,320
SEC offensive player of the year at running back. Tennessee

350
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,639
being that high on that list was highly surprising. Like

351
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,200
I would have LSU more in the range of where

352
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,519
Clemson and Miami are than where they're at. So I

353
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,519
say it's a big deal just because I think more

354
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,519
of LSU than seven point nine wins and one point

355
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,320
eight percent chance to win a champion.

356
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,679
Speaker 2: A ten point nine wins. Yeah, you said to make

357
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,240
the playoffs, so give it. So give it.

358
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 9: What Jake just said, what's Clemson?

359
00:16:41,559 --> 00:16:44,519
Speaker 3: Clemson nine point seven wins, forty seven point three percent

360
00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:47,000
chance to make the playoff and three point eight percent

361
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,960
chance to win the championship in Miami's very similar.

362
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 9: I would say this is no big deal because this

363
00:16:52,879 --> 00:16:54,200
sounds like a really dumb list.

364
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,039
Speaker 4: It is Texas, right again, whoever.

365
00:16:56,759 --> 00:16:59,639
Speaker 2: Wrote this list and carout with these stats get trash well.

366
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 8: Tex favorites to win the national title like arch Manning

367
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,440
might be good hasn't started yet. The ridiculous that's the

368
00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:10,119
FBI for you.

369
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Texas stuff is something I certainly want to

370
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,519
get into with Flynn because you've got a quarterback in

371
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,720
Arch Manning who we've talked about for four or five

372
00:17:21,799 --> 00:17:24,359
years now and he is still yet to be the

373
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,960
full time starter. And Texas is one of the teams

374
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,880
with the best national championship odds, but there's still so

375
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,720
much to prove for him for them too.

376
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 4: I mean they lost a lot.

377
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 3: Now they got some guys coming back, and so I

378
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,119
think Texas going to be right there in the fould.

379
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,759
And I think a lot of Steve Sarkisian. I think

380
00:17:40,759 --> 00:17:43,400
he's a top three play caller in the country. I

381
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,599
mean what he does pre snap, it's like window dressing,

382
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:47,519
but with a purpose.

383
00:17:47,559 --> 00:17:48,079
Speaker 4: I love it.

384
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,839
Speaker 3: Like he he is going to know what you're doing

385
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,759
before you know the ball snap. But I don't know, man,

386
00:17:54,319 --> 00:17:56,880
when you've got as many returning quarterbacks as we have

387
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,839
in the country and the top three teams right now,

388
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,480
actually top four teams in the FBI, Texas, Georgia, Ohio State, Alabama,

389
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,680
we don't know anything about what they're going to be

390
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:09,240
at quarterback.

391
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 2: Like its look good, arches look good.

392
00:18:14,079 --> 00:18:17,599
Speaker 9: It's almost unfair, like the expectations, But you want to

393
00:18:17,599 --> 00:18:20,000
be at the position where you have expectations put on you.

394
00:18:20,079 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, I hope they're not good because Ulsu plays them

395
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,319
in the opener. But like we know what Clubnick is,

396
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,119
we don't know what arches. If they're top three receivers

397
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,720
back from a year ago through at a weaker conference,

398
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,559
Texas has none of those things.

399
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, look when you look at the FBI and actually,

400
00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:39,119
let's do this. Let's take a break, we'll come back.

401
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,599
We'll look at some of these teams that are in

402
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,680
Here is a nice one by Ta Tay to pull

403
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,160
this one up, because there's some returning quarterbacks that aren't

404
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,160
getting near the love leading their team as some of

405
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,400
these first time starting quarterbacks. And we'll break it all

406
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:55,319
down here on o tvpter bench. I go to Pelicanroof

407
00:18:55,319 --> 00:18:57,839

00:19:03,799 --> 00:19:05,319

413
00:19:08,039 --> 00:19:11,000
there on the homepage. I was actually taking my daughter

414
00:19:11,079 --> 00:19:14,000
Harlowe on a walk last night kind of late evening.

415
00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:16,359
Man Pelican Roof was still hard at work in our

416
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,079
neighborhood and it was so cool because you know, I

417
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,119
saw the Pelican Roof flag that they were working there,

418
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,480
and everything was like in order, like as they're working

419
00:19:25,559 --> 00:19:28,119
on the roof, like everything was still like cleaned up

420
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,319
and kept tight. You know, stuff wasn't everywhere and making

421
00:19:31,319 --> 00:19:34,759
this big mess. And that's just like a great example.

422
00:19:34,759 --> 00:19:36,160
Almost took a picture. I was like, I don't want

423
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,920
to mean, why this gotta take a picture of my

424
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,680
house so I could talk about it on the radio.

425
00:19:39,839 --> 00:19:41,200
I mean, that's just the kind of service you're gonna

426
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,279
get pelicanroof dot com here.

427
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,160

444
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,200

I've ever heard you do a voice of any type.

446
00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:12,960

00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 4: I don't I don't remember why.

448
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 2: The one you just did, though, is most like committed

449
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:17,000
i've ever heard.

450
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, Yeah, that that was do like a radio voice,

451
00:21:20,319 --> 00:21:21,680
like an exaggerated.

452
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:21,759
Speaker 4: I did do that.

453
00:21:22,039 --> 00:21:24,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, the big guy you should sit over here was

454
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,680
pretty uh, you know, I'm pretty good at doing those,

455
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,480
and he you know, he did them often as well.

456
00:21:29,559 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 9: There's a couple of real life people that do big

457
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:32,920
time radio voice.

Speaker 4: Well, okay, that was terrible, by the way, that's not bad.

Speaker 4: Yeah, but I do. I do redneck all the time.

478
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 2: That is true. But that's that's kind of easy though.

479
00:22:26,759 --> 00:22:27,079
It is.

480
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 4: It's in the wheelhouse.

481
00:22:29,079 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 2: I so fella.

482
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,559
Speaker 9: Yeah, they were were they were kind of calling us

483
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,240
a little bit of redneck in the huddle.

484
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,759
Speaker 2: I keep on the dhot everybody.

485
00:22:39,599 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 9: I was like, yeah, we're we are concrete rednecks.

00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 4: Who was calling us that?

487
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:45,519
Speaker 2: I don't remember.

488
00:22:45,559 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 9: It was a while back, I mean earlier. It is

489
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,119
a term that you're like, we had no disrespect. Now

490
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,079
we are who we are, but we are concrete redneck.

491
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,119

Speaker 2: I don't even think now.

00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,039
Speaker 4: I mean because I told Jay we'd come to him

Speaker 8: Have bad like Sayan's like okay, Like Arizona, the University

525
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,519
of Arizona, the Wildcats on their football field says beared down.

526
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:48,640
They are the Wildcats.

527
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,319
Speaker 3: I just don't bear down. Well, there's a lot of

528
00:24:52,319 --> 00:24:54,559
people that identity crisis. I mean Auburn, like we don't

529
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,920
question Auburn as much I do. It's a great place

530
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,240
to play, though, I actually think for me, for my money,

531
00:25:03,799 --> 00:25:08,039
outside of Tiger Stadium, I think it's the loudest I've

532
00:25:08,079 --> 00:25:08,599
ever played in.

533
00:25:10,799 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 4: Jordan Harri Cane get loud.

534
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:14,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying to think an.

535
00:25:14,839 --> 00:25:19,559
Speaker 4: Four o four that weird. Like Ronnie Prude got called

536
00:25:19,599 --> 00:25:20,400
for leaping?

537
00:25:20,799 --> 00:25:21,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, what what is that?

538
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:22,599
Speaker 4: You know it is?

539
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 3: So they tie the game, they go to kick the

540
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,119
extra point, they miss it. But Ronnie Prude, the only

541
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,000
time I ever heard it ever got a call for leaping.

542
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 4: They get a chance to rekick it ten to nine.

543
00:25:34,279 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 2: Maybe because an extra point.

544
00:25:36,759 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 3: And then we had like a Chris Jackson, right I think,

545
00:25:39,759 --> 00:25:42,160
So it wasn't Chris Jackson.

546
00:25:42,599 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 4: You were holding?

547
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 2: I was holding? Was it your fault? I mean yeah,

548
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,279
I was Who was it? Four year starter?

549
00:25:48,319 --> 00:25:50,079
Speaker 4: I mean, it doesn't matter. I mean, I can go

550
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:51,359
look it up or you can just tell me.

551
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 2: I believe it was Ryan Godey.

552
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,079
Speaker 3: Okay, there you go, shout out Ryan gode and Sean

553
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,160
Godey kick. And then we had like a seven to

554
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,839
five or something there and six that was uh that

555
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:03,440
was Auburn.

556
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 9: Something like that was was four, the exavior Carter Neil.

557
00:26:09,039 --> 00:26:09,759
Speaker 4: That was Georgia.

558
00:26:09,839 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 2: That was Georgia. Okay, all right, that's.

559
00:26:11,799 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 3: The only time in my L s U football career

560
00:26:15,599 --> 00:26:19,200
that it was so bad. And from the very get

561
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,559
go we knew it wasn't gonna go. Only fumbling my

562
00:26:23,599 --> 00:26:25,799
career was in that game. It just wasn't right that day.

563
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,000
David Green could not miss in the corner. I don't

564
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,119
even remember what receiver he was throwing to. But whatever

565
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,799
the peak version of David Green was, you got it

566
00:26:35,839 --> 00:26:38,279
that day in Athens.

567
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 2: Just firing it in about seven miles an hour.

568
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,559
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's Tucker spun about three thousand times a second.

569
00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 11: Though.

570
00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 3: I mean they had, you know, David Pollack, like real

571
00:26:48,519 --> 00:26:52,039
David Pollack before he got skinny. Uh Odell Thurman, who

572
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,279
was I believe, like in jail for something the week

573
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,799
before and then got out and played against us, and

574
00:26:58,839 --> 00:27:02,119
he was like a grown man. Greg Bleue Thomas Davis

575
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,200
playing safety, a fifteen year middle linebacker in the NFL

576
00:27:06,519 --> 00:27:10,039
safety plaid safety for Georgia. Yes, that's who made me

577
00:27:10,079 --> 00:27:12,680
fight for Yes, he played safety.

578
00:27:13,079 --> 00:27:13,799
Speaker 2: I forgot about that.

579
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 4: I didn't.

580
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 3: Dude hit me, I was I broke a run like

581
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,200
I'm talking twenty yards, I'm out in the open. I'm like, man,

582
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,200
I'm gonna go set a tone on Thomas Davis. This

583
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,559
guy's an All American. I'm a freshman. That story ends.

584
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:28,559
Speaker 2: You set the tone.

585
00:27:28,839 --> 00:27:31,279
Speaker 4: Thomas Davis won me nothing.

586
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 9: You didn't know, but in fairness, you didn't know he

587
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,079
was going to be like one of the best linebackers

588
00:27:37,319 --> 00:27:37,839
in the NFL.

589
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,599
Speaker 4: I had both hands on the ball the whole like

590
00:27:39,799 --> 00:27:41,119
good not didn't matter.

591
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:41,559
Speaker 2: He hit me.

592
00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 4: That bog was about fifteen yards up in the air.

593
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 9: My mind is absolutely blown right now that Thomas Davis

594
00:27:49,759 --> 00:27:50,599
played safety.

595
00:27:50,839 --> 00:27:53,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll find some highlights.

596
00:27:53,319 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 3: So but we do need to go to break because

597
00:27:56,759 --> 00:27:59,359
when we come back, we're gonna be joined by the

598

Baton Rouge. And we were always excited every single Thursday

628
00:29:26,319 --> 00:29:28,720
to catch up with the head coach of LSU baseball,

629
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,559
Jay Johnson, who joins US now.

630
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 4: Coach. Always appreciate the time. Hope you're doing well.

631
00:29:34,359 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 11: Doing great. How are you guys doing this morning?

632
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 4: Doing fantastic.

633
00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 3: Man. We are so fired up to get a super

634
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,839
regional here in Baton Rouge. But before we go forward,

635
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,240
let's kind of look back to the regional and across

636
00:29:45,279 --> 00:29:48,400
college baseball coach. I mean, there was teams that were

637
00:29:48,519 --> 00:29:52,160
just fighting and scratching and clawing, and we saw like

638
00:29:52,319 --> 00:29:55,279
historic upsets, and we saw four four seeds win on

639
00:29:55,359 --> 00:29:59,559
opening day alone. There was some real competitive baseball coach

640
00:29:59,559 --> 00:30:02,359
across the country, and you had some teams fighting in

641
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,079
some big, big venues and didn't back down.

642
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,039
Speaker 11: Yeah, no doubt about it. I think it's one of

643
00:30:09,079 --> 00:30:13,359
the things that makes baseball one of the most interesting,

644
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:18,000
intriguing sports, even though it moves slower than football and basketball.

645
00:30:18,119 --> 00:30:21,680
Is it's in football and basketball, the talent advantage ninety

646
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,640
percent of the time is probably gonna went out, and

647
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,599
in baseball because of the pitcher, it's the team that

648
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,039
plays the best that day. And I think you saw

649
00:30:29,079 --> 00:30:32,559
that in this NCAA tournament. I think seven hosts lost

650
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:37,480
or did not advance. And yeah, if everything screams baseball,

651
00:30:37,559 --> 00:30:42,119
that's it. And we're fortunate that we played well and

652
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,200
we're able to advance out and really excited about what

653
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,200
we have coming this weekend.

654
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, Coach in the box was electric all weekend long.

655
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:51,160
It was.

656
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 3: But I was there on Sunday night and the same

657
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,039
fans came back on Monday night and it was a

658
00:30:56,079 --> 00:30:59,559
great atmosphere. And you made some changes coach to the

659
00:30:59,599 --> 00:31:02,400
line up, and those paid off in a big way.

660
00:31:02,599 --> 00:31:05,240
And Ethan Fry they're in the two hole. He gets

661
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,079
on base six times, four for four, a couple of doubles,

662
00:31:09,119 --> 00:31:12,119
a home run. I mean, those changes worked out perfectly.

663
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,839
What went into the thought process of kind of switching

664
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,640
some things around with really the season on the line.

665
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,119
Speaker 11: Yeah, I've been asked a lot about this, and we've

666
00:31:22,119 --> 00:31:25,519
had a very good year in my opinion, very consistent offensively.

667
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:31,079
You know, I've always operated though that, you know, the

668
00:31:31,119 --> 00:31:33,079
only day that matters is the one in front of you.

669
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,160
And when you're in a winter home winner, go home game,

670
00:31:36,279 --> 00:31:39,200
championship game, elimination game, obviously you have a lot to

671
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,039
gain by taking some risks. And we did it in

672
00:31:42,039 --> 00:31:44,559
the National Championship Game in twenty three. Shuffle in the

673
00:31:44,599 --> 00:31:48,119
deck a little bit and obviously paid off, and just

674
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,920
kind of looking at where all the players were like today,

675
00:31:51,119 --> 00:31:53,960
because I believe young players change day to day. We're

676
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,519
not major leaguers. They're not major leaguers, and you know,

677
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,000
given the circumstances of the game, how did we want

678
00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:03,920
to set the lineup? He mentioned Ethan. I think he's

679
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,559
easily the hottest, in my opinion, one of the best

680
00:32:06,599 --> 00:32:10,200
players in the country right now today. So I wanted

681
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,160
to get him to the plate as many times as

682
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,119
we could. He just got a good, slow heartbeat, very

683
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,160
mature player, in control of himself. And then Steven Mile

684
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,720
and put him behind him. He's taken the advat that

685
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,400
we believe he's capable of right now, and I wanted

686
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,319
to get those guys up as many times as we could.

687
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,240
Danny had hit a four or excuse me, hit a

688
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,400
couple home runs against Little Rock on Friday. They obviously

689
00:32:33,519 --> 00:32:36,240
viewed him as a threat, thought Jake Brown was just

690
00:32:36,279 --> 00:32:38,200
a good matchup for the pitcher, and then put in

691
00:32:38,319 --> 00:32:40,720
Jared in the sixth hole. If those guys in front

692
00:32:40,759 --> 00:32:43,119
of him did their job, you know, it might make

693
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,759
things a little bit easier on him where they they'd

694
00:32:45,799 --> 00:32:48,880
almost lose track of him, forget about him. And obviously

695
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,960
he popped a big home run, you know, and then

696
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,000
obviously you know what I said to the team, having

697
00:32:54,039 --> 00:32:55,799
Luise in the eighth hole, that's as good a whole

698
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,680
hitter as you're going to have in the country tonight.

699
00:32:57,759 --> 00:32:59,960
And he popped two home runs, so it worked out great.

700
00:33:00,119 --> 00:33:02,400
But it was really just a sign of you know,

701
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,480
we gave everybody a job to do in the lineup

702
00:33:04,519 --> 00:33:06,759
that day and the guys did a good job executing it.

703
00:33:07,519 --> 00:33:12,279
Speaker 9: Coach introduced myself to you, Matt Flynn. It's a it's

704
00:33:12,279 --> 00:33:15,039
a pleasure to talk to you. Looking forward to to

705
00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:17,400
to talking with you every week the rest of the season.

706
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:22,599
So look, my question is the big decison You're going

707
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,519
into this this regional and it's different than any other

708
00:33:25,519 --> 00:33:27,240
week of the season. You have a lot to think about,

709
00:33:27,319 --> 00:33:29,440
You have a lot of from a pitching standpoint, how

710
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,599
are we gonna what's the rotation going to be, when

711
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,519
do you guys come in, how many innings? Everything like that.

712
00:33:33,559 --> 00:33:35,559
It's different than any other week of the season leading

713
00:33:35,599 --> 00:33:38,039
up to that point. So what kind of goes into

714
00:33:38,839 --> 00:33:41,039
like the game three, what goes into your decision on

715
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,400
who's starting and what you know, how many rotations to

716
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,359
the lineup you wanted to go and what kind of

717
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,200
goes into that preparation of Game three from a starter standpoint,

718
00:33:52,279 --> 00:33:53,839
but also knowing that you kind of have to be

719
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,920
prepared for a potential Game four as well.

720
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, great question, and you know, I don't know that

721
00:33:59,759 --> 00:34:10,000
Chief would have articulated it. Yeah, let's go. Good way

722
00:34:10,039 --> 00:34:11,639
to give him a hard time. Very nice to meet you.

723
00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:15,440
First off. Second off, a lot, honestly. I mean Game

724
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,599
one and two are pretty easy with the guys that

725
00:34:17,639 --> 00:34:19,679
we have. It's not easy in terms of winning, but

726
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,719
you're going to go with those two guys. It was

727
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,519
just a matter of determining what order. And you know,

728
00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:26,840
I had a thought out deal of why we were

729
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,800
going to do Anthony and then Kate and and so

730
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,440
that was in place, and then you know, really game

731
00:34:31,519 --> 00:34:33,800
three wasn't as hard as you would think. I mean,

732
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,920
Jayden Knut has thrown the ball really well for us

733
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,719
for the last three or four weeks and felt like

734
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,360
he could get us off to a good start. Didn't

735
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,159
have his best outing, and then you're right, it gets

736
00:34:44,199 --> 00:34:46,239
a little tricky. You know. Obviously I would have loved

737
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,119
to have ended the deal on Sunday night, but you

738
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,920
have to play that thing smart because the worst thing

739
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,079
that you could do is burn through your best guys

740
00:34:56,119 --> 00:34:59,719
and lose that game. And so we're fortunate where we

741
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,639
feel like we had multiple options at that point. When

742
00:35:02,679 --> 00:35:05,800
I say that about four or five guys, Chase Shores

743
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,920
had been throwing the ball. Well, we were up three

744
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:12,320
to two, you know, velocity in that team's second game

745
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,079
in the doubleheader, I thought would give him problem. And

746
00:35:15,079 --> 00:35:17,159
he immediately got us out of that inning, you know,

747
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:18,679
with the lead, and then went out and got the

748
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,920
leadoff guy and felt like he could get us three

749
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,719
to four innings, which would give us the time to

750
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,800
see where the game was at now if we're up

751
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,920
five to one or excuse me, at that point five

752
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,719
to two. Cason Evans was going in the game on

753
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,280
Sunday night, you know, to finish it. But they took

754
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,800
the lead, you know, at five to three, stretched it

755
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,840
to six to four, I believe, or six to three,

756
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,559
then six to four, and then ultimately ten to four.

757
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,079
And that's one of the weird games of the year

758
00:35:48,199 --> 00:35:50,519
where it's great that you're in the winners bracket, but

759
00:35:50,599 --> 00:35:52,519
you have to do that the right way, and I

760
00:35:52,559 --> 00:35:55,679
feel like that we did, and it was honestly like

761
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,599
ten to four and the ninth it was it was

762
00:35:58,599 --> 00:36:00,440
almost better that it was ten to five four then

763
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,800
had stayed six to four, and you know, it put

764
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,800
us in a good spot. I felt really good about

765
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,239
Monday thing. We had Zach, Cason, and Anthony for the

766
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,079
very back end of the game and felt like we

767
00:36:12,079 --> 00:36:15,159
would hit. You know, we didn't come through necessarily on

768
00:36:15,199 --> 00:36:17,000
Sunday night, but I felt like our offense was in

769
00:36:17,039 --> 00:36:19,960
a good spot those three pitchers, maybe a couple other

770
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,679
guys for short bolts, that we were in a good

771
00:36:21,679 --> 00:36:22,719
spot to win on Monday.

772
00:36:23,639 --> 00:36:25,599
Speaker 3: And Coach, I mean Cason Evans, I mean, what can

773
00:36:25,639 --> 00:36:27,800
you say about him? He didn't start the game on Monday,

774
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,599
but when he comes in strikes out nine straight guys,

775
00:36:30,679 --> 00:36:33,360
I mean, he was unhittable, and he had this look

776
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,440
about him, and he had this energy about him. He

777
00:36:35,559 --> 00:36:38,639
was wasting no time on the mound. It's like, catcher,

778
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,679
get me the ball as soon as you can batter,

779
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,480
get in the box, and I'm going to strike you out.

780
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,280
Like there was some big alpha energy from him. And

781
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,400
I've asked you this before and I'm just gonna keep

782
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,039
harping on it. You're not supposed to have that as

783
00:36:50,039 --> 00:36:53,840
a freshman, certainly a true freshman in that venue, in

784
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,639
the best stadium in college baseball, with everything on the line.

785
00:36:56,679 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 4: But he's got it and then.

786
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 11: Some there's no doubt. I mean, that's one of the

787
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,000
most important players we've recruited here in my four years.

788
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,079
Knew at the second we got him, knew at the

789
00:37:06,119 --> 00:37:08,239
second we got him through the draft. I don't know

790
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:09,840
if I said this earlier in the year when we

791
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,280
were talking about him. Well, I was supposed to go

792
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,079
to one of my friend's wedding in California, and then

793
00:37:15,119 --> 00:37:17,400
he on a Saturday. I was going to leave on Friday,

794
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,360
and then Thursday he called me and said, hey, my

795
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,039
parents and I want to come back out for a

796
00:37:22,079 --> 00:37:24,760
second visit. So I called my buddy and I said, hey, man, sorry,

797
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,719
we're not coming. Like this is uh, you'll it's a

798
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,199
base he's a baseball guy. I was like, you'll get it.

799
00:37:30,599 --> 00:37:34,760
You'll get it when this dude shows up. And the

800
00:37:35,079 --> 00:37:37,880
night I called him on Monday night and he's like,

801
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,480
that what the guy was? And then I was like,

802
00:37:39,519 --> 00:37:40,800
that's exactly who that was.

803
00:37:42,519 --> 00:37:44,519
Speaker 3: So he understood that, right, I mean as soon as

804
00:37:44,559 --> 00:37:46,760
like you like, hey, that was the guy that just

805
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,400
struck out nine straight guys in the postseason, Like you're

806
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,039
forgiven forever for that, right.

807
00:37:51,199 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 11: Yeah, no doubt. He's a he's a baseball agent. So

808
00:37:53,519 --> 00:37:55,360
he was like, he knows very well who he.

809
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,599
Speaker 2: Is now, you know, coach.

810
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 9: I was curious watching watching on on Monday the what

811
00:38:03,559 --> 00:38:05,159
are the end game adjustments?

812
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:05,519
Speaker 2: Is there?

813
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,079
Speaker 9: Is there anything said from a coaching staff to a

814
00:38:09,159 --> 00:38:12,599
lineup if there's a tight strike zone in a game,

815
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,320
Because I thought watching the game, and I'm a very

816
00:38:15,639 --> 00:38:19,199
novice baseball knowledge guy, but I'm watching the game and

817
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,519
I'm thinking one of the big differences right now is

818
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,719
it seems that our guys LSU is adjusting to a

819
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,239
tighter strike zone from a discipline standpoint in the batter's box,

820
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,199
is there something like you in the first couple of innings.

821
00:38:32,199 --> 00:38:34,000
Is there a mid game adjustment that you tell all

822
00:38:34,039 --> 00:38:36,559
your guys, we got a tight strike zone, We're gonna

823
00:38:36,559 --> 00:38:39,039
implement this a different type of game plan in the

824
00:38:39,039 --> 00:38:40,559
batter's box one.

825
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:44,679
Speaker 11: Hundred and you always are adjusting to the pitcher having

826
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,320
a good game plan there. I think you know the umpire,

827
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,840
you know you can tell pretty quickly and you know

828
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,639
most of the time, not the other night, but most

829
00:38:52,639 --> 00:38:54,960
of the time we're the home team. And based on

830
00:38:55,039 --> 00:38:57,880
you know, yeah, the two of the elite strike throwers

831
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,920
in the history of whatever. When k An Anthony like,

832
00:39:01,639 --> 00:39:03,599
depending on you know, whether the guys are raising his

833
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,840
right arm. If he's not raising his right arm, when

834
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,320
those guys are throwing in the first inning, you're like, Okay, guys,

835
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,840
let's button this thing down a little bit. And so

836
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,039
that's definitely a thing. It doesn't happen as much as

837
00:39:14,079 --> 00:39:16,119
you think. And I would say this, like, and I've

838
00:39:16,119 --> 00:39:19,159
felt this coming out of the NCAA tournament's different because

839
00:39:19,199 --> 00:39:21,400
you're you're getting the best of the best umpires. But

840
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,119
I think they've done a great job and they do

841
00:39:24,159 --> 00:39:27,159
a good job in the SEC and the guys this weekend,

842
00:39:27,199 --> 00:39:29,000
I thought behind the plate did a really good job.

843
00:39:29,079 --> 00:39:32,000
And you know, and sometimes you know, you get them

844
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,079
from different parts of the country and the NCAA tournament,

845
00:39:34,079 --> 00:39:35,679
that's kind of how they do it. And I actually

846
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,760
worry about it going the other way sometimes where it

847
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,119
opens up a little bit, you know. And but yeah,

848
00:39:41,159 --> 00:39:42,679
I thought our guys did a good job. I mean,

849
00:39:42,679 --> 00:39:44,599
we got a bunch of walks the other night, which

850
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,199
you know, that's a big part of our offense. It's

851
00:39:47,199 --> 00:39:49,440
like turnovers in football. You know, let's just take what

852
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,599
they give us and turn it into something big. And yeah,

853
00:39:53,599 --> 00:39:55,440
I thought our hitters did a good job with that.

854
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 3: Cause no what else you have baseball coach Jay Johnson

855
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,800
here on OTB. All right, coach, let's go to West Virginia.

856
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,599
They won the Big twelve in the regular season. Really

857
00:40:05,599 --> 00:40:09,360
good baseball team. They go to Clemson South Carolina, they

858
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,760
win that regional against you know, look a pretty good

859
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:16,159
field with Clemson, Kentucky and others. Initial look at West

860
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,039
Virginia kind of your initial breakdown of what they're bringing

861
00:40:19,079 --> 00:40:19,400
to town.

862
00:40:20,519 --> 00:40:24,119
Speaker 11: Yeah, two really good starting pitchers. They're they're Friday guy

863
00:40:24,199 --> 00:40:26,000
or number one guy. They lean on a lot. They

864
00:40:26,079 --> 00:40:29,159
actually brought him in like we did with Anthony, but

865
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,519
on one day's rest to finish up the regional, So

866
00:40:32,519 --> 00:40:35,719
they really lean on him a lot. Those guys throw

867
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:37,440
a lot of pitches. They're going to stay in the game.

868
00:40:37,599 --> 00:40:42,639
They ride them on. Offense, impressive in terms of how

869
00:40:42,679 --> 00:40:45,599
they play, I would say, you know, they obviously have

870
00:40:45,639 --> 00:40:47,599
like one hundred and eight stolen bases or something like

871
00:40:47,639 --> 00:40:50,840
that they do a really good job with the playing game.

872
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,000
They have old position players that take really good at bats,

873
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:58,800
they don't strike out very much, and I think most importantly,

874
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,000
and you got to know how important they believe that

875
00:41:01,039 --> 00:41:04,039
they can win. And they're championship caliber team and one

876
00:41:04,039 --> 00:41:07,320
of the best leagues in college baseball. And we're gonna

877
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,199
have to play great, you know, to advance out of this,

878
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,960
and we're excited about that challenge.

879
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 9: Coach, I'm not gonna not going to ask you, like

880
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,079
what your lineup decisions and.

881
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 2: What it's going to be good to tell you, yeah, obviously,

882
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:20,880
but like when you.

883
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 9: Go into making a decision like that, especially this time

884
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:24,960
of the year, do you kind of go with like

885
00:41:26,119 --> 00:41:28,760
hothand do you go with what's happened in the short term,

886
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,960
or do you kind of look at it as, all right,

887
00:41:31,039 --> 00:41:33,320
we're resetting, this is a brand new weekend. Let's go

888
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:34,960
with what kind of the long term plan is.

889
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,039
Speaker 11: Well, your season's on the line every every day now,

890
00:41:39,119 --> 00:41:42,480
so it's really what's best for today. And you know,

891
00:41:42,599 --> 00:41:46,280
like I said, it's a little bit unconventional thinking. But

892
00:41:47,159 --> 00:41:49,599
you know, our players again in eighteen to twenty one,

893
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,360
twenty two, they change a little bit more than the

894
00:41:52,519 --> 00:41:56,719
professional player. And then sometimes there's just a matchup thing, like, hey,

895
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,679
we work really hard on that and you're great guy,

896
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,679
and Jamie Tucco and helps me with like some data

897
00:42:01,679 --> 00:42:06,760
and analytics and evaluated matchups, and then we'll set the lineup,

898
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,920
you know. I mean, I'll consider starting a guy that

899
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,360
hadn't started in a long time on Monday night just

900
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,199
because we felt like we like where he's at with

901
00:42:13,199 --> 00:42:16,519
his abats, that he's taken right now, and you know

902
00:42:16,559 --> 00:42:19,159
he's going to impact the game some way, shape or form,

903
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,000
and so it's a little more like what's best for today.

904
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:23,199
Speaker 10: Now.

905
00:42:23,199 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 11: With that being said, we've been very consistent this year

906
00:42:26,559 --> 00:42:30,000
and very good throughout the season. We had one hiccup

907
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,400
at Auburn, but other than that, you know, it doesn't

908
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,159
mean we've scored seven or eight every game, But I

909
00:42:35,199 --> 00:42:36,679
feel like I have a pretty good idea of what

910
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,280
I'm going to get and sometimes it's just slotting them

911
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:40,360
for what's best for that day.

912
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 3: And we look forward to it coming up this weekend

913
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,599
inside Alec Box Stadium, West Virginia coming to town for

914
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,599
a super regional coach Man Me and the family had

915
00:42:49,599 --> 00:42:51,239
such a good time with the Regional. Can't wait to

916
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,280
be back at the box for the Super Regional. The

917
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,559
stadium was electric. It's going to be turned up to

918
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,320
an absolute eleven. We look forward to and we always

919
00:42:58,360 --> 00:42:59,239
appreciate your time.

920
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,119
Speaker 11: All right, guys, have a great day.

921
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:01,760
Speaker 2: Thanks coach.

922
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,760
Speaker 3: All right there he is head baseball coach for the

923
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,119
LSU Tigers, Jay Johnson, good enough to join us every

924
00:43:06,199 --> 00:43:10,039
single week here on OTB. All right, we will step

925
00:43:10,039 --> 00:43:13,599
away one final time here in our number two coming back.

926
00:43:13,639 --> 00:43:15,119
I'm going to hit on some of what Jay talked

927
00:43:15,119 --> 00:43:18,199
about there and we'll do it right here on ESPN.

928
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 2: Baton rouge off the bench.

929
00:43:23,119 --> 00:43:25,159
Speaker 4: I go to budros Electrical dot Com.

930
00:43:25,159 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 3: Bujo's electrical dot com is the websites, and it is

931
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,960
true all the time, but certainly here during storm season

932
00:43:32,039 --> 00:43:34,159
it is a coming, right, And we have all been

933
00:43:34,199 --> 00:43:38,559
through hurricanes, and we've probably all been through a power outage,

934
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,079
and we've all been through a power outage that didn't

935
00:43:41,079 --> 00:43:43,719
have a whole home generator before. And I can just

936
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,480
tell you, as someone that now has a whole home generator,

937
00:43:46,599 --> 00:43:50,000
it is a completely different peace of mind.

938
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 4: And so Boudro is going to come out.

939
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 3: They give you that quote to exactly what it's going

940
00:43:54,079 --> 00:43:57,760
to be for your home, for your business. That's why

941
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,440
their tagline is more Power, more protect and it is

942
00:44:00,559 --> 00:44:04,599
going to protect you against that outage. It's ultimate peace

943
00:44:04,679 --> 00:44:07,239
of mind and you're gonna get that at Bujo's Electrical dot.

944
00:44:07,079 --> 00:44:11,679
Speaker 9: Com generators generators generators here pretty soon. That Gulf of

945
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,480
America is going to be eating up. So call a

946
00:44:14,519 --> 00:44:18,480
team that consists of highly skilled electricians along with factory

947
00:44:18,519 --> 00:44:29,000
train and certified generator technicians. That's boudros Eelectrical dot Com.
