Apparently they have like 13 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,880 a a what Jake called the morning after pill for 14 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,200 the flu. Now, it's one pill that you take and 15 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:51,960 it kind of knocks it out in twenty four hours. 16 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,479 So I told them wouldn't be contagious by this morning anymore. 17 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,479 Feeling okay, I'm sweating profusely. That just won't stop, and 18 00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:03,600 then I'll be like cold the next second. But we're 19 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,719 gonna make it through today's show. We're gonna have ourselves 20 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,519 a day here. But if I guess, if my energy 21 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,959 levels are not what they normally are. I apologize. That's 22 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,200 the Uh, that's the deal. Great show yesterday, though, guys, 23 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,480 what's going on? How we all feel in today?

I'm sweating, bro, I 25 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:26,480 am sweating. 26 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 3: Uh. 27 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 2: And what's crazy is when I first got in here, 28 00:01:29,159 --> 00:01:32,040 I was freezing. But that's kind of been the last 29 00:01:32,359 --> 00:01:34,959 three days. At least I'm not crazy, you know. Like 30 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,920 it's one of those things where even yesterday I woke 31 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,680 up and I just felt like absolute trash. But I'm like, man, like, 32 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,359 am I making this up? Like you woke up, I 33 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,879 was like, actually I should go in, I should go 34 00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:49,280 into work or whatever, and then I was like, no, 35 00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:52,159 I'm not. I'm not going to So at least when 36 00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:53,519 I got to the doctor and they told me indeed 37 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,200 was flu, I felt somewhat validated that I'm not like 38 00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:00,760 just making up. Also, that makes sense. I was in 39 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,959 such a poor mood on Tuesday as well, trying to 40 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:05,879 make it through that day. 41 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 4: You did say that that felt like a six hour 42 00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:11,000 show when you left, yes. 43 00:02:11,719 --> 00:02:15,479 Speaker 2: Uh, And when don't you know it probably down for 44 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,000 another six hour show today? Got snaps in noon and 45 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,280 then roam this afternoon. So my god, is it it's 46 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,240 not hot near it's not as cold as it normally is. 47 00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:29,520 I cannot stop sweating. I can feel myself sweating. Can 48 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,240 you turn down these lights?

Man, Maybe maybe I 52 00:02:39,439 --> 00:02:40,960 don't know if we can turn them off. Maybe maybe 53 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,240 I don't know. Maybe it's not even gonna change anything. Um, 54 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,080 but yeah, so it's it's it's what sucks though, is 55 00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:52,120 it's a kind of crappy time, Uh, to be feeling 56 00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:55,639 so bad because this is literally one of the oh 57 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,919 that actually feels sway better.

That's 288 00:14:51,399 --> 00:14:53,159 probably the one that I'm most intrigued by. 289 00:14:53,279 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 7: Did you know Paul Skeins is pitching? 290 00:14:55,919 --> 00:14:58,759 Speaker 2: I know, it's shocking, it's crazy we did.

But Devers is not 304 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,320 on the same level as Alex Bregman is. 305 00:15:32,679 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 6: Matter of fact, I. 306 00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:36,519 Speaker 5: Think, I think, like defensive efficiency, he was one of 307 00:15:36,559 --> 00:15:38,399 the worst third basement in baseball this year. 308 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,919 Speaker 8: I compared their stats like on Twitter the other day 309 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,759 because people were complaining about it, and I'm like, Okay, 310 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:50,600 Alex Bregman is really good at their base Nevers is not. 311 00:15:51,679 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: The uh I mean for me it I I just 312 00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:00,559 the only thing. And granted I don't really have a 313 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,919 team that I root for anymore, although it's crazy because 314 00:16:02,919 --> 00:16:05,360 growing up, the Braves were just like you know, I 315 00:16:05,399 --> 00:16:09,639 would I would watch Sports Center, yeah, three or four 316 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,799 times just to see the highlights of Glavin throwing again, 317 00:16:12,919 --> 00:16:16,440 like that was I'm watching baseball to night every night. Yes, 318 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,080 that was my team, but at some point just kind 319 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,879 of fell off of it. But but I think that 320 00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:26,720 the most interesting thing is this Dodger team. It's just 321 00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:30,639 absolute super team. Doing battle and a sport where it's 322 00:16:30,679 --> 00:16:34,080 not like it's not like they're just like everybody's spending 323 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,799 a lot, but the Dodgers are just spending more like 324 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,480 you have some franchises that literally aren't paying like what 325 00:16:39,519 --> 00:16:42,360 the Dodgers are paying a single player, right, and they've 326 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,759 got everybody, and they're unapologetic, unapologetic about it. A true 327 00:16:47,559 --> 00:16:50,559 evil empire sort of feel trying to come with the 328 00:16:50,559 --> 00:16:52,480 first ever back to back champs since the Yankees in 329 00:16:52,559 --> 00:16:58,039 ninety nine two thousand. That sounds right, uh, and that's 330 00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,799 gonna then. And then you look at like somebody like 331 00:16:59,799 --> 00:17:04,000 theirates with schemes where basically their ownership told them, look, 332 00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:08,359 y'all have to win for us to spend. But that's 333 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,599 kind of the catch twenty two of it, right, like 334 00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:14,200 can you win if you don't spend? The pirates basically saying, 335 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,880 y'all are going to have to find success with what 336 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,079 we have now, and if you do, that revenue goes 337 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,799 up and then we'll be willing to invest some more 338 00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:21,839 of that revenue. 339 00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:24,319 Speaker 4: It is wild that in a sport where the Dodgers 340 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,559 can have a payroll of three hundred and twenty two 341 00:17:29,519 --> 00:17:33,839 million dollars like and then some like it's actually a little. 342 00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:34,319 Speaker 2: Bit more than that. 343 00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 4: And then the Marlins, who play in the same league, 344 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,880 play the same sport, right, they have a payroll of 345 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:42,839 forty seven million. 346 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 2: It's unreal. That's what I'm saying. That is that is 347 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,880 there is not a that that that matches up nothing 348 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,559 else in American professional sports. Is that how the Premier 349 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,640 League is? Are there are there salary caps in the 350 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:57,200 Premier League? 351 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 3: Right? 352 00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:58,039 Speaker 1: No? 353 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 2: So like yeah, so like the EPL could be leagues 354 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,640 are yet similar to that? 355 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,519 Speaker 4: Yeah, true, in those clubs that are at the bottom 356 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,359 that are getting relegated don't spend like a third of 357 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,359 what Arsenal and man U and man City and all 358 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,079 those teams. 359 00:18:12,279 --> 00:18:14,799 Speaker 2: So I guess it's not completely unprecedented sports, but definitely 360 00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:17,319 an American sports. So I'm excited to watch all the 361 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:18,880 highlights coming out of today. 362 00:18:19,519 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 4: And of the like active because some of this is 363 00:18:21,519 --> 00:18:25,160 like injured money, they you know, pushed a little bit 364 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,319 down the road of active. So the active spending of 365 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,240 the Dodgers two hundred and ninety million, the Marlins twenty 366 00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:37,680 five million. So of that forty seven I mentioned, eight 367 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,359 million is four players that were injured, not on the 368 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,880 opening day. Roster twelve has been pushed down the road, 369 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,200 and two point twenty five is just dead. 370 00:18:47,319 --> 00:18:49,079 Speaker 2: Salary damn So. 371 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 4: Twenty five active million compared to two hundred and ninety million. 372 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 2: That's again, that is just that. That's bat crap crazy. 373 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,079 But happy overy Day, Happy sixteen. We'll get into all 374 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,759 of it, but let's get into LSU baseball next.

It's off 403 00:20:14,279 --> 00:20:16,200 the bench with Hester and T Bob. 404 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 2: Yo, what's happening y'all? Welcome back? Oh TV? Okay, I 405 00:20:20,799 --> 00:20:24,279 just randomly still feel a little better, dude, I don't 406 00:20:24,319 --> 00:20:26,559 know what just hit Some did R and B Thursday? 407 00:20:27,079 --> 00:20:33,240 Maybe so maybe so okay, So LSU opening up with 408 00:20:33,759 --> 00:20:39,400 missopp State tonight and again the it's so the games 409 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,000 except for seven pm tonight, six thirty pm tomorrow and 410 00:20:42,039 --> 00:20:47,279 then two pm on Saturday again starters Gordon remained same 411 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:53,319 for this weekend could potentially be some change. Obviously, like 412 00:20:53,319 --> 00:20:56,839 we've talked about, Katie Anderson and Jinsen have been pretty 413 00:20:56,839 --> 00:21:00,400 equivalent thus far. It's it's it's a chase shore piece 414 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,920 that may be open to change depending on where this 415 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:12,480 thing goes from here. What is y'all's biggest and look, clearly, 416 00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:15,039 like we said, LSU needs to win this series, They 417 00:21:15,039 --> 00:21:17,400 need to take two or three. They are better than 418 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,839 Missippi State. Last year we said many of the same things. 419 00:21:21,599 --> 00:21:24,079 Granted it was opening the season on the road at 420 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,839 Duty Noble and well it did not go according to plan. 421 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,880 But this year, this is a one in five Missippi 422 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,319 State team and you are supposed to be one of 423 00:21:34,319 --> 00:21:37,240 the best teams in the entire country. So if you 424 00:21:37,279 --> 00:21:40,519 look at goals for this weekend, what is the number 425 00:21:40,519 --> 00:21:42,400 one thing that you want to see this LSU baseball 426 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:42,880 team prove. 427 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 4: I think what we've really talked about all week it's like, Okay, well, 428 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,920 if your starters give you enough to win, can you 429 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,680 close it out? And if you're tied in the fifth, 430 00:21:53,839 --> 00:21:55,839 sixth inning and you go to your bullpen, can they 431 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,240 keep the lead? Can they keep it where it needs 432 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,119 to be long enough for your offense to score or 433 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,599 some runs. And you know, how do they work the bullpen? 434 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,920 Who comes in on Friday, who comes in on Saturday, 435 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,039 depending on the situation. Because that guy when somebody we 436 00:22:09,079 --> 00:22:11,759 talked a lot about yesterday when Kendall Rodgers was on 437 00:22:11,839 --> 00:22:14,480 with this, like you do have this piece that has 438 00:22:14,519 --> 00:22:15,200 been really. 439 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 2: Good in the bullpen. 440 00:22:16,039 --> 00:22:18,559 Speaker 4: Like if he continues to be that guy, do you 441 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,319 mess with that or do you say, hey, maybe he 442 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,880 could be better as a Sunday starter, But right now 443 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,400 he's so valuable to us in the bullpen, we can't 444 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,440 really go anywhere else. And so you know, Case and 445 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,319 Evans as he continue to be that guy, and also 446 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,000 can somebody else in the bullpen? 447 00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 2: Can a third arm step up and be dominant? 448 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:36,039 Speaker 5: Uh? 449 00:22:36,279 --> 00:22:40,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it seems like it is all about 450 00:22:40,559 --> 00:22:43,680 the bullpen. Kogie Riley wrote about it in The Advocate 451 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,400 today and mentioned, how look, if you take Cowen, Anderson 452 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,839 and Evans out of air, the other pictures right now 453 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,839 are having some control issues. Yeah, last weekend against Texas. 454 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,160 Again this is all excluding Cowen, Anderson and Evans, but 455 00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:03,319 last weekend against Texas in twelve and a third, they 456 00:23:03,519 --> 00:23:07,839 walk nine against Miszoo that same grouping walked eleven. They 457 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,279 also last week and gave up seven runs, nine hits, 458 00:23:10,279 --> 00:23:13,759 and two home runs in just four innings over those 459 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,200 final two days. And although Ianson's stats in the year 460 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,359 are pretty good overall, like I said, they actually look 461 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,920 pretty similar to Kate Anderson save for the era he 462 00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:26,839 did allow and this what kind of blew up his 463 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,759 numbers five to the last nine batters he faced on 464 00:23:29,799 --> 00:23:34,200 Saturday to reach base. So those are the questions with LSU. 465 00:23:34,279 --> 00:23:35,839 I don't think there's a problem with hitting. I don't 466 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,640 care that the bats ended up going to big cold 467 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,720 against Texas. They got right back on track against ul 468 00:23:40,839 --> 00:23:43,680 seventeen four, really jumped on him just first inning on 469 00:23:44,559 --> 00:23:47,960 the other night. And so that that is the only 470 00:23:48,039 --> 00:23:52,200 thing that you're looking for is outside of Cowen, Anderson, 471 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,279 Evans and Ironsen to some extent, who are you going 472 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,680 to be able to rely on. And here's what I 473 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,640 get to be confused about. Missippi State. So not an 474 00:24:02,759 --> 00:24:05,599 overall good record on the year, sixteen and nine, one 475 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,640 in five in the sc they get swept by Texas, 476 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,240 they lose two of three to Oklahoma, but you know 477 00:24:11,279 --> 00:24:14,240 they're fifth in the league in team batting average hitting 478 00:24:14,279 --> 00:24:17,000 three fourteen and they're actually fourth in the league with 479 00:24:17,079 --> 00:24:20,240 a three three nine team era. You strike a lot 480 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,440 of guys out, so it is a team that is 481 00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:27,880 maybe a bit more dangerous than they appear to be 482 00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:32,440 just from their record, And so you're going you can't 483 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:33,960 just show up and win these games. 484 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:34,279 Speaker 8: No. 485 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 4: We talked about that a little bit yesterday, not only 486 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,160 their record, a couple of teams in the SEC and 487 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,319 who they've played and how it's kind of played out 488 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,839 and some close losses and so, you know, just like 489 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,440 last year when you played in Mississippi State, got a 490 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,880 little too excited about that series, but this one, being 491 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,000 at home, is a different But you are you are 492 00:24:55,039 --> 00:24:58,000 the better baseball team. But they're certainly not going to 493 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,640 just roll over and die and just get like that 494 00:25:00,759 --> 00:25:02,960 is not who they are going to be. So I 495 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,960 think even if you went to a three t in 496 00:25:05,039 --> 00:25:07,039 this series, that is a big win for you, gets 497 00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:08,000 you right back on track. 498 00:25:08,519 --> 00:25:11,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, and if walks are a problem, man, uh, just 499 00:25:11,559 --> 00:25:13,799 just just make him hit it, you know, be willing 500 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,880 to maybe a lot, because like your bats are gonna 501 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,319 come through. Your bats are going to be able to 502 00:25:17,319 --> 00:25:20,519 put up numbers and support your staff. The worst thing 503 00:25:20,559 --> 00:25:23,559 that you can do is just uh give them free 504 00:25:23,559 --> 00:25:26,480 bases that end up making those big innings that you 505 00:25:26,519 --> 00:25:29,759 seem to fall into last week and that much worse. Alandra, 506 00:25:29,839 --> 00:25:32,039 what are the main elements that you're looking for this 507 00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:33,240 week and against the Bulldogs? 508 00:25:33,759 --> 00:25:37,319 Speaker 8: Yeah, I guess I'm just seeing if there's any tweaks 509 00:25:37,519 --> 00:25:41,240 to the rotation, if there would be any, But it 510 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,279 seems as if he's probably just gonna keep it the 511 00:25:44,319 --> 00:25:48,160 way it is, which I'm fine with. Besides, I mean, 512 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,960 it really just depends for me, like if tonight we're 513 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,680 winning and we have a big lead and he takes 514 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,680 Kate Anderson out and throws Cowen, it's gonna be the 515 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,480 same thing is last week to me, where I'm just like, 516 00:26:02,599 --> 00:26:04,720 why would we put. 517 00:26:04,559 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 7: Him there where we don't need him there? But I 518 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:08,720 don't know. 519 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 8: I I'm pretty happy with where the team's at, so 520 00:26:12,799 --> 00:26:15,839 I don't have anything that I'm I know. 521 00:26:15,799 --> 00:26:20,279 Speaker 7: There's worries about the bullpen, but I'm not. The sky's 522 00:26:20,319 --> 00:26:23,240 not falling to me, So I'm now, if. 523 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,839 Speaker 2: You lose this weekend, yes, then then it would be 524 00:26:26,839 --> 00:26:31,039 fu conversation. I mean, but no, not right now. One 525 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,680 interesting note here the chat's pointing out is State's gonna 526 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,640 be saving their ace picocone for Friday night. 527 00:26:39,599 --> 00:26:41,599 Speaker 7: So Aerry's starting tonight. 528 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,759 Speaker 2: Yes, Sierry, who doesn't uh doesn't have a ton of 529 00:26:43,759 --> 00:26:45,960 indings on the year eleven and two thirds been good 530 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,200 in the eleven and two thirds fifteen k's three walks 531 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,640 two three one era A, but no wins or losses 532 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,559 on the record as of yet, so maybe kind of conceding, uh, 533 00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,400 not not conceding the game necessarily, but recognizing that their 534 00:27:00,759 --> 00:27:03,599 best chance to maybe get a win uh lies and 535 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,920 throwing the lefty Pico tomorrow night and him going toe 536 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,799 to toe with a Ands and Pico cone four to 537 00:27:08,839 --> 00:27:10,720 zero on the year two five to two e ra A, 538 00:27:11,079 --> 00:27:14,720 He's got fifty three k's to only seven walks in 539 00:27:14,839 --> 00:27:17,359 thirty five and two thirds inning pitch. So Pico's having 540 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,039 a very good year thus far. And I kind of 541 00:27:20,079 --> 00:27:24,000 love that and really challenging ninsen to uh to to 542 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,279 match his output and and and see what happens on 543 00:27:28,319 --> 00:27:29,160 that riderious if he. 544 00:27:29,079 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 8: Has a longer leash he did last weekend. 545 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 2: Uh, I mean I don't would you think it would 546 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,200 be longer with Pico on the other side, or would 547 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,000 it be shorter given that runs maybe at a premium Friday. 548 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 7: You have to let him go. We've seen him work 549 00:27:41,799 --> 00:27:44,839 himself out of these jams. You have to let him 550 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:45,160 do it. 551 00:27:45,759 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 5: Also, like that goes back to not throwing Colin on 552 00:27:49,079 --> 00:27:51,400 Friday night, because if you're conceding Friday, like we actually 553 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,920 talked about this yesterday, so many people saying you have 554 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:54,759 to win Game one. 555 00:27:54,799 --> 00:27:57,519 Speaker 6: No, you don't. You have to win the series. Texas doesn't. 556 00:27:57,519 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 5: Texas could not possibly care less that they lost on 557 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,119 Friday because they took the series. Clearly, that's Mississippi state 558 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,279 strategy here. They don't think they can go toe to 559 00:28:05,279 --> 00:28:08,240 toe with Kate Anderson. Let's say lsu wins tonight. Let's 560 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,079 say Kate Anderson goes six innings, you're up four runs. 561 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,480 Find you somebody that can get you nine outs. Maverick 562 00:28:15,519 --> 00:28:17,599 Rizzy's been a solid arm out of the bullpen. He's 563 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,720 a guy that I think needs more run. If you've 564 00:28:19,759 --> 00:28:22,480 struggled with the lefty and Kate Anderson, DJ Primo has 565 00:28:22,519 --> 00:28:24,440 been good out of the bullpen as a lefty. You 566 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,279 don't have to go to Zach Kawen save Cowen maybe 567 00:28:27,279 --> 00:28:29,559 for Saturday or Sunday, like we were talking about, because 568 00:28:29,799 --> 00:28:31,960 you kind of burned him on a game that you 569 00:28:32,039 --> 00:28:34,319 almost already had into the bag. And then on the 570 00:28:34,319 --> 00:28:36,599 flip side of things, you didn't throw or Case and 571 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,480 Evans last weekend until you had a five run deficit 572 00:28:39,519 --> 00:28:41,799 with four innings to play. I mean, the bullpen was 573 00:28:41,839 --> 00:28:45,279 mismanaged last weekend. Let's come tinker with that. More than anything. 574 00:28:45,319 --> 00:28:46,839 I don't care about starter and all that. I want 575 00:28:46,839 --> 00:28:48,599 to see relievers used in the right spots. 576 00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then Saturday it's gonna be Chase Shore's versus 577 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,880 Carson lagen as two and three in the year four 578 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,640 seven sixty or a twenty two and third pitch thirty 579 00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:01,720 two K's nine walks really similar numbers Chores and Shores 580 00:29:01,759 --> 00:29:05,160 and Carson. So offense probably going to be the way 581 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,920 to win game number three, but we'll see it. Starts 582 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,559 tonight in the box. Love a Thursday night. Start, get 583 00:29:12,599 --> 00:29:15,839 out there, get crazy, make it hard on them, and 584 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,079 let's enjoy some LSU baseball.

Welcome back to otb uh so 612 00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:35,880 LSU pro day was yesterday, and some guys seem to 613 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,400 have some really good days, maybe nobody more so than 614 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,799 tight end Mason Taylor, who comes out of the four 615 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,039 six five forty four five two short shuttle seven oh 616 00:30:46,079 --> 00:30:50,119 six three cone, twenty eight reps on the bench that 617 00:30:50,359 --> 00:30:55,640 is very strong for a tight end. Uh and Word 618 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,359 on the City came in at six five two forty 619 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:05,680 six nearly ten in Chans. Here's a cat that you know, 620 00:31:05,759 --> 00:31:09,480 based on his measurements combined with his film, may have 621 00:31:09,519 --> 00:31:15,279 potentially worked himself into a second round guy. Jake's now 622 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,000 firmly in that takeing a round conversation. How much do 623 00:31:18,039 --> 00:31:20,119 you think Mason Taylor helped himself yesterday? Oh? 624 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 4: I think it's ton And there was some scouts that 625 00:31:22,279 --> 00:31:25,440 had him easily in the four fives, which was crazy, 626 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,400 Like there was multiple I heard talking that had him 627 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,839 in the four fives and so even like even the 628 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,920 four six five would have been great for his size 629 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,359 and certainly the strength that he showed on the bench press, 630 00:31:34,759 --> 00:31:36,599 but I think he was even faster than that. 631 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,079 Speaker 2: He looked great. The twenty eight reps is huge. 632 00:31:39,839 --> 00:31:42,279 Speaker 4: Because I think that was a question for him, like 633 00:31:42,519 --> 00:31:44,400 could he, you know, be strong enough to be an 634 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,000 inline blocker. That answers that question. So I think he 635 00:31:48,039 --> 00:31:50,319 made himself a lot of money yesterday. I think he 636 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,599 was a top one hundred player for sure. See he 637 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:58,079 might be top fifty five player now after what he 638 00:31:58,119 --> 00:31:59,319 did yesterday. 639 00:31:59,319 --> 00:32:02,559 Speaker 2: This is this it's a really good tight end class. 640 00:32:03,039 --> 00:32:05,599 Speaker 4: And when we have Rett Lewis NFL that we're going 641 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,599 to join us in hour number three, we can ask 642 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,400 him about it. Because you're probably gonna have two first 643 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,440 rounders at tight end. I think he's now the third, 644 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,440 and so if you need a tight end you didn't 645 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,440 get one of your first rounders, he's going to be 646 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,759 your second round pick. So I now would be completely 647 00:32:22,759 --> 00:32:24,279 surprised if he's not a second round pick. 648 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 2: One of the other guys that I thought had a 649 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:33,119 great day and looked the part was Josh Williams. I mean, 650 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,480 my guy looked jacked. I look like an Avenger with 651 00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:42,319 a capitol J straight superhero body. And he comes out 652 00:32:42,319 --> 00:32:46,839 with a four four five forty jumps forty two inches 653 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,720 on the vert he beinches twenty three. Yeah, I mean 654 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:56,319 at five nine, two hundred pounds, benching twenty three, Josh Williams. 655 00:32:56,319 --> 00:32:58,200 I mean, give me the video of him running his 656 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,160 forty yesterday tale if you really want to show the 657 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,960 people just how impressive he looked. Yesterday A massive day 658 00:33:05,119 --> 00:33:09,160 for Williams. I don't quite know exactly what his draft 659 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,200 outlook is, but if I'm somebody I don't know about 660 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:17,200 getting drafted, but here's a guy who you know, has 661 00:33:17,279 --> 00:33:19,640 all the intangibles, right, the coaches are all gonna be 662 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,000 bragging on, as well as all the staff. That's why 663 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:27,759 I got number eighteen. Everything else, he he knows mentally, 664 00:33:28,319 --> 00:33:31,119 he can handle it from a pass blogging standpoint, everything else. 665 00:33:31,279 --> 00:33:35,759 Leadership got it, like Josh Williams is going to make 666 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,359 an NFL team and be a contributor on special teams 667 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,599 and potentially a running back for somebody in the NFL. Yeah. 668 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,599 Speaker 4: I mean when we would talk about him, there was 669 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,680 a lot of people that said, you know, he's not 670 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,279 an athletic, He's not this, He's not. 671 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,279 Speaker 2: That's what That's what I always kind of felt to 672 00:33:52,079 --> 00:33:53,480 he shet everybody up yesterday. 673 00:33:53,599 --> 00:33:55,079 Speaker 4: Yeah, to be able to go out there, I mean 674 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,920 forty two inch vertical, that's crazy, Gidney. That would have 675 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,799 been I think I saw a stat that'd have been 676 00:34:01,839 --> 00:34:05,559 like third all time for like running backs or something crazy. 677 00:34:06,799 --> 00:34:10,519 Speaker 6: Third all time second this year. I did not see 678 00:34:10,519 --> 00:34:11,480 who beat him a run. 679 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 2: Third all time all time second this year. Yeah. 680 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,760 Speaker 4: And then to run a four to four to bench 681 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,000 press twenty three reps, that's what I got. And that 682 00:34:21,159 --> 00:34:23,719 was like two twenty two or something. So at two 683 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,760 hundred pounds to get twenty three reps, that's that's a 684 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,599 hell of a day for him. Yes, Like I don't 685 00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:30,880 know what it was. Maybe before and maybe it was 686 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,119 just going to be an undrafted free agent rookie because 687 00:34:33,119 --> 00:34:34,519 he played at LSU for so long. 688 00:34:34,559 --> 00:34:36,159 Speaker 2: Certainly he was going to get an opportunity. 689 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 4: But even if he doesn't get drafted, you know this, 690 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:40,840 he's going to be a priority free agent. 691 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,639 Speaker 2: Yes, now he will after what he just did. 692 00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 4: Absolutely, and he's gonna you said it, he's gonna have 693 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,880 a great opportunity to make a squad and make a team, 694 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,440 and he's gonna do all the little things right, and man, 695 00:34:51,639 --> 00:34:52,679 he was so impressive. 696 00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:55,119 Speaker 2: And you're right, he looked different. I mean he looked different. 697 00:34:55,360 --> 00:35:00,599 Again that the video I saw specifically camera where LSU 698 00:35:00,679 --> 00:35:03,480 football put it out and like Jake said, it looked 699 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:08,119 like a comic book. I thought. Garrett Dellinger bro thirty 700 00:35:08,199 --> 00:35:11,079 two inch vert Yeah for DELI are you kid? Meet? 701 00:35:11,119 --> 00:35:13,519 And he had some Timberland zone basically too. I mean 702 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:18,480 a five forty like thirty on the bench, nine to 703 00:35:18,519 --> 00:35:22,119 two broad. That's a that's a really good amount of 704 00:35:22,119 --> 00:35:24,039 athleticism showed by Garrett Dellinger. 705 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,039 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so as well. He's played a lot 706 00:35:27,079 --> 00:35:29,719 of football. He's gone through some injuries, but that's another guy. 707 00:35:30,159 --> 00:35:32,079 Like when he was in there, he played well, and 708 00:35:32,119 --> 00:35:34,480 when you didn't have him, you felt it, you felt 709 00:35:34,639 --> 00:35:36,320 that his presence was not there. 710 00:35:36,679 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. So here's the uh, look at that dude. There's 711 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,400 the video of Joshu Williams. My god, that body's insane. 712 00:35:44,639 --> 00:35:48,039 All right, Taylor, look at the Will Campbell audio there, 713 00:35:48,119 --> 00:35:50,960 get that Twitter link ready to go. Will Campbell not 714 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,800 doing anything yesterday but meeting with the media and was 715 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,480 asked about his arms. Now, Jordan Schultz Street on a 716 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,760 major development in LG. Priddy's American, Will Campbell arms measured 717 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,039 at thirty three inches, checking off a crucial box for 718 00:36:05,159 --> 00:36:08,920 NFL executives and talent evaluators. Cam Jordan quote tweeted this said, 719 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:13,599 can he playball? Film says yes, Draft stads status should 720 00:36:13,599 --> 00:36:17,320 be reflective of gameplay and resume put on it. So 721 00:36:17,519 --> 00:36:21,840 Cam Jordan speaking some sense into the equation. But here's 722 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:26,119 what Will Campbell had to say about people saying that 723 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:30,360 his arms were too short to be a tackle in 724 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:30,920 the NFL. 725 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,519 Speaker 9: You as a prospect for two years, nobody had any 726 00:36:34,559 --> 00:36:37,840 measurements on me, and nobody said anything about my play. 727 00:36:38,039 --> 00:36:41,320 So now all of a sudden, Armley decides if I'm 728 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,239 a good player or not. I think it's bs. But 729 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,320 you know, any decision makers in the NFL, they don't 730 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,079 really care us all. You know people who don't coach, 731 00:36:50,159 --> 00:36:51,559 and they don't coach for a reason. 732 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,119 Speaker 2: Here I can listen to that man talk all day long. 733 00:36:58,199 --> 00:37:02,800 Speaker 4: I'd actually like to hear him say the Sea. 734 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,519 Speaker 2: Look and it's yes, man, don't overthink the Campbell thing. 735 00:37:07,559 --> 00:37:09,840 I mean, Brian Baldinger had a great film breakdown of 736 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,440 him today and he's he's so right. For Campbell, it's 737 00:37:13,519 --> 00:37:15,440 I mean, he has good hands, don't get me wrong, 738 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,639 but it's all about his feet. Everything works because of 739 00:37:19,679 --> 00:37:25,639 his feet. He's got incredible knee bend, incredible natural footwork 740 00:37:25,639 --> 00:37:28,760 that always has him in the right position. He's able 741 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,199 to time his punch as well. The word that I've 742 00:37:31,199 --> 00:37:33,719 always come back to when talking about how will Campbell 743 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:38,079 pass blocks is composure. And the reason why he looks 744 00:37:38,079 --> 00:37:41,199 so composed is because of his feet. And granted, look 745 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,199 his arm links is fine, which yesterday, but it shouldn't 746 00:37:44,199 --> 00:37:46,920 have mattered that much in the first place.

Yeah, 774 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:16,280 we're trying to make the thirty five yard line or whatever. 775 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,320 Speaker 4: That's that's that's too far, that's too egregious there, I. 776 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:19,840 Speaker 2: Mean, I don't know. 777 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:20,039 Speaker 9: Ye. 778 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,280 Speaker 2: Well, I'm saying if you wanted to, if you want 779 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,840 it to be returned, Uh, but if you don't, then yeah, 780 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,480 don't change it? Uh, did y'all see Gary Danielson? Did 781 00:39:31,559 --> 00:39:34,280 y'all talk about that? We did not? And Gary Danielson 782 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,639 retiring after the twenty twenty five season. 783 00:39:36,679 --> 00:39:38,199 Speaker 6: Man, why wait? 784 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,679 Speaker 2: End of an era? Man? 785 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 3: No? 786 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:42,800 Speaker 5: But like seriously, like is there something I'm not I'm 787 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:43,920 not like taking a shot at him? 788 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,760 Speaker 6: Mike, Yes, you were just one final season. 789 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,800 Speaker 2: Like it's I hate when people do it. You just 790 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:55,880 did poufanting innocence as you know, exactly announcing I'm not 791 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,039 taking a shot a bit. 792 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,079 Speaker 5: No, Like seriously, like you're announcing you're retiring, but like 793 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,239 you're not, You're retiring in a year from now. I 794 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,280 was just wondering if there's like a specific thing, like 795 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:06,519 why is he waiting a year? 796 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 2: Jim Nantz just announced that the one hundred Masters in 797 00:40:10,519 --> 00:40:13,199 like twenty thirty six is going to be his last 798 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:14,960 one or something. I just hope to make it that long. 799 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,840 Speaker 5: That's That's what I'm saying though, Like the hundredth is 800 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,679 kind of like a milestone, Like is there like one 801 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,440 thing Gary's like waiting one? 802 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:22,199 Speaker 6: I guess it's my thing. 803 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:26,760 Speaker 2: I mean, do you do you like fault like when 804 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,280 you see these long time like who's gone? On retirement 805 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,360 tours recently, a lot. 806 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,119 Speaker 6: Of people have done it, for sure. I'm not saying 807 00:40:33,159 --> 00:40:34,440 Gary's the only one. I was just wondering. 808 00:40:35,639 --> 00:40:37,599 Speaker 4: I mean, Jeter went on one trip, Jones went on 809 00:40:37,599 --> 00:40:39,599 one that's not recent, but that's yeah. 810 00:40:39,639 --> 00:40:41,559 Speaker 2: But like you know, it's what you do when you're 811 00:40:41,559 --> 00:40:43,599 a legend forever. Yeah, and you say, look, it's gonna 812 00:40:43,599 --> 00:40:47,719 be my my last year, and so everybody knows that. 813 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,800 You know when they get to interact with you that year, 814 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,920 that it may be your last time doing this. So 815 00:40:53,199 --> 00:40:56,679 I think that's why you do it. I think it 816 00:40:56,679 --> 00:41:02,000 makes sense anyway. I I love Gary Anderson. I think 817 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,760 I think everybody. I think it's crazy the amount of 818 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,960 hate this man gets. And I think he's great at 819 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,199 his job. I think when it comes to breaking down 820 00:41:13,599 --> 00:41:18,360 football live and what just happened, he's actually very good 821 00:41:18,519 --> 00:41:21,840 at clearly explaining the dynamics of play and what's going on. 822 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,079 I think people think. I think it's interesting that most 823 00:41:26,079 --> 00:41:29,360 people think that he just gargles Alabama all the time, 824 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,400 but then Alabama fans hate him, thinking that you know, 825 00:41:32,559 --> 00:41:35,320 all he does and is not gargle them. Like to me, 826 00:41:35,679 --> 00:41:37,559 if everybody hates you, then I think that means you're 827 00:41:37,559 --> 00:41:40,199 doing a pretty good job of keeping it real and 828 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,920 keeping it objective. I do think what's maybe interesting about 829 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,039 him is there does seem to be the sentiment that, 830 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,559 no matter whether or not you actually like him or 831 00:41:50,599 --> 00:41:54,440 think he's good, you're still going to miss him simply 832 00:41:54,519 --> 00:41:58,239 because nostalgically what he has meant to your life as 833 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,920 a as a college football fan. 834 00:42:02,119 --> 00:42:02,360 Speaker 6: Yeah. 835 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 5: Like, growing up, I was one of those guys to 836 00:42:04,119 --> 00:42:06,039 be like, Garry hates my team. But like to your point, 837 00:42:06,119 --> 00:42:08,079 like the last few years when he's called less and 838 00:42:08,159 --> 00:42:11,039 less LSU games, I'm like, it just feels different, you 839 00:42:11,119 --> 00:42:12,719 know what I mean, Like it just doesn't fit. 840 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,400 Speaker 2: Mean I missed SEC on CBS this last year, did 841 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:15,760 y'all not? 842 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 6: Yeah? No, the intro. 843 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, I definitely still miss when vern and Gary were together. 844 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 6: I mean that was that was a great combo. 845 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, Brad's great, but Vern Vern Uncle Vernon Gary will 846 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:34,440 always be my uh my premiere. Oh wait, where is 847 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:35,760 the comment that I want to do? Oh if his 848 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,679 job is to be on his knees for Bama, then yes, 849 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:41,519 he's great his job. So but here's the problem. The 850 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,119 majority of the time that he worked was when Nick 851 00:42:44,159 --> 00:42:47,760 Saban was at Alabama and they were stacking national championships. 852 00:42:48,039 --> 00:42:52,719 So if you're talking objectively about the game and you're 853 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,400 going to give credit for who is doing well, of 854 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,440 course it's going to come off like you're obsessed with 855 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:02,599 Alabama because Alabama's consistently doing well well and consistently dominating 856 00:43:02,639 --> 00:43:05,840 in the Gary Danielson era, and they're playing the most 857 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,280 games on CBS. So like, don't be mad at Gary, 858 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,159 He's just doing his job. Be mad at Alabama. 859 00:43:13,039 --> 00:43:15,599 Speaker 6: By being so good broadcaster? 860 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 2: I love Gary? 861 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:17,679 Speaker 6: What broadcast would make good to me? 862 00:43:18,519 --> 00:43:18,840 Speaker 2: What's that? 863 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:19,039 Speaker 4: Like? 864 00:43:19,079 --> 00:43:21,079 Speaker 6: What broadcaster doesn't do that? You know what I mean? 865 00:43:21,079 --> 00:43:23,480 Like that somebody's doing good, you're supposed to. 866 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 2: You can't. You can't just act like they suck. I 867 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,440 think it's crazy. And yeah, I think the SEC is 868 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:36,119 worse off for not having that SEC on CBS crew 869 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,280 or game anymore. And it just doesn't hit the same 870 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,880 as the Big Ten. I think even Gary and Brad 871 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,480 missed it being in the SEC versus being in the 872 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:49,079 Big Ten miss so much. Yeah, yeah, no, I mean 873 00:43:49,119 --> 00:43:52,320 for real though, right, Like for I I don't I 874 00:43:52,639 --> 00:43:55,000 do wonder in an alternate reality if we could somehow 875 00:43:55,039 --> 00:43:57,719 see would he stick around if they still had the 876 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:03,440 sec contract. Part of me feels like he probably would. God, 877 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:08,559 I used to love an Uncle Vern Golden nugget. You know, 878 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:13,639 he'd always give you such interesting little factoids. Uncle Vern's 879 00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:24,719 chortle as well. Uh babe. It's impossible to hear that 880 00:44:25,039 --> 00:44:37,440 and not get a rush of nostalgia. Anyway. I love you, Gary, 881 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:45,679 hell of a career. I can feel the anxiety in 882 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,679 my stomach that has And you hear this because you 883 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,480 know something BIG's about take place over the next four hours. 884 00:44:51,519 --> 00:44:55,559 You're gonna be on an emotional roller coaster. Hour two 885 00:44:55,639 --> 00:44:57,039 next 886 00:44:57,079 --> 00:44:57,760 Speaker 1: Off the bench.
