Speaker 1: Live from the Mercedes Benz of Baton Rouge Studio. Here's
Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 4: And Yo, welcome in OTB here on this Wednesday morning,
Jacob Flynn, Tata and Yes, Alandra Blank Space villar Real
is back from the road, Alandra, How we doing?
Speaker 5: How we living?
Speaker 6: Doing good? Can't be doing any better than coming off
a trip to watch your team win the College World Series.
So yeah, I'm feeling real good. It was a lot
of fun. The drives were there were drives, but it
was still fun. It was worth it. The drive was
worth it.
Speaker 5: How far was the actual drive? Like? God, I feel
like y'all stopped a lot of different places.
Speaker 6: Yes, But I was telling them before the show that
whenever I put it in my GPS on the way
up there, I didn't put the stop in Bentville because
I told y'all we stopped in Bentville, right Like in
my GPS I just put it straight to Omaha. I
didn't put a specific spot, just Omaha, and it was
like fifteen hours and some change, right, and then so
we did nine hours the first day to Bentonville and
then six the next day to Omaha. But then when
we were coming back, we put it straight to our
house or whatever, and it was thirteen hours. But it
did take us because we stopped and stuff like that,
So it did end up taking us like fifteen hours
to get here, but the GPS still said thirteen hours,
So I don't know how we shaved two hours off
the trip.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I'd rather get that on the back end,
know for sure, Yes, it's the.
Speaker 7: Front end you have, like the excitement of the what if,
the what if Oma Hall. We've never you know, never
done Oma Hall. It's LSU's there. It's exciting. And on
the way back, even if you want it's still like,
oh I got to go back to my everyday just normal,
you know whatever.
Speaker 8: What right, So I'd rather have it on back's just
not hit as hard on the way home as it's there,
you got the good vibes going, You still got good
vibes like getting in the car coming home, because like
it was a good trip, right, But did y'all well
on the way back that you just hit it all
in one one.
Speaker 6: It was pretty much like we stopped three times to
like switch off drivers, so we did basically like five
five five. It ended up being or close to that
at least. So yeah, it was just a straight shot
on the way back, just power through it kind of thing.
Speaker 9: Got to do it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right.
Speaker 7: I've got to ask you, though, what outside of like
the actual game, yes, like what was the best thing
on the trip?
Speaker 6: Hmmm, I don't know, like not to be generic or whatever,
but like it just the entire experience was great, Like
every it really was.
Speaker 9: It was.
Speaker 6: It was like entire LSU fan base up there, and
everybody was so nice. So we like went out and
talked to different fans and stuff like that, and everybody
was great. Roccos was actually kind of fun. I thought
maybe it'd be too much because everybody is there at
the same time, but it was cool. We got like
eight jello shots, so we added we added we were
in the number of jello shots, only eight, but we
were in the number regardless. Yeah, I mean it was
super hot. That was probably my least favorite thing. About
is how hot it was. And we were walking around
a lot sar guy T Bob.
Speaker 5: Yeah that was.
Speaker 6: Wearing the same clothes for three days straight.
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, I saw more Tea Bob. I felt like,
and I've ever seen before and I didn't seem like in.
Speaker 6: Person, there's a lot of Tea Bob.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he on the broadcast.
Speaker 6: That's I was gonna say that. People kept I was
just p s A. I was not the girl that
was next to him. People kept sending me it and
tagging me in it, thinking it was me that was
next to him on TV or whatever. But it wasn't me.
Speaker 5: You were the girl that got in a fight.
Speaker 6: No, that wasn't me either. I don't know how that
became a thing, but that wasn't me either. And yeah,
well so that part was cool too because he was
on that Marty Girl Mike thing. Yeah, so we got
to go on Marty Girl Mike with him and that
was actually pretty fun, huh. And we were throwing beads
and stuff and all the Coastal Carolina people were flipping
us off the entire time.
Speaker 5: How they know your fans? That are you talking about?
Speaker 8: I was watching those clips of the Marty Girl, Mike. Yeah,
I was like, maybe it's because I just turned forty.
Maybe I'm apparent, but I was just questioning the legality
of this. So we're riding around in this that can't
be streetly.
Speaker 6: It did not feel sturdy, that's true.
Speaker 8: And there was that one about writing. It looked like
they were going pretty darn fast.
Speaker 5: They were like on an interesting that is not safe.
Speaker 6: Well, we also ran into we went to breakfast on
Sunday morning or I guess Sunday whatever before the game,
and we ran into J Mitch and we were telling
him about Marty Girl and Mike, and I told him
that it felt very unsturdy. And the entire time all
I could think about was like, oh, what if we
take like a super sharp turn and the entire thing
just falls over. And he was like, well, you did
not drink enough before you got on that thing, fair,
And that was like, true, drink enough to get on it, though.
Speaker 5: Oh man, it did.
Speaker 7: It looks fun. Looks like y'all had a great time.
I'm glad y'all got to see Bob. Yeah, he looked
like he was thriving. I don't know Howie has a
voice left, but I heard him yesterday. He does in
fact have a voice left. He was living to an
eleven at all times there in Omaha, So I would.
Speaker 8: Have a headache to eleven if I screamed as much
as he was in those videos at Nancy and Vincy.
Speaker 5: Probably got one too, oh, no doubt.
Speaker 8: On Twitter he got secondhand drunk because Steve Bob was
yelling in his face.
Speaker 6: It was stressful like being around him though, because people
were flocking to him. Oh yeah, like I it was
crazy for sure. It was giving me anxiety for him.
Speaker 5: Yes, So glad you had fun.
Speaker 7: I was glad it worked out.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: About saying the baseball had to be I know, like
that's that's your sport. I know you had to enjoy
just the way it played out with it was great,
Kate Anderson dominating, and then you only used three pitchers
the entire series.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you didn't even have to go to Calender Evans
Chase Shores. We've been saying it all year long, all
season long, like you just gotta let him get his
innings in and he's going to get there eventually, and
he was out. The College World Series for you was great.
But on Saturday when we were one to zero, the
entire time. That was very stressful, Like I was very
stressed the entire time, and yeah, but it ended up
being great. Kate Anderson gets a complete game shutout in
the College World Series freaking credible.
Speaker 7: It was wild because it look, I mean, you're all
you got some nerves because it is just it's one
nothing and you're like, I mean one swinging the bat,
this is tied up, or you could be down. But
it was a confidence that you probably shouldn't have for me,
like only being up one to nothing and the same
pictures rolling back out there.
Speaker 5: But it was like, if they're not going to take
him out, Jay knows something.
Speaker 7: Like Jay feels like he has got his A plus
stuff and yeah, and I know he walked five guys,
which was almost double his you know total four high
on the year, which was three. But still he just
felt like he was locked in. Kind of the same
thing like with Chase Shores, Like once he got locked in,
I think it was the broadcasters like, well, we'll see
Evans in the ninth I was like, I don't know
that you will. Yeah, I mean Jase Shores is kind
of mowing them down, yeah right now, And I don't
think Jay is real motivated take him out of this game.
Speaker 6: Yeah. It was awesome, every bit of it. But so yeah,
we were in the press box, but then we went
down to standing room only for like the last few
innings to get like the vibe. Oh, the fields were electric,
Like it was. I had chills whenever I'd go down there,
and everybody was like, oh less you you know what
whenever Coastal Carolina, the head coach, Kevin Shaw, and then
the first base coach they got ejected, the entire stadium
started going like, oh, let's sue.
Speaker 5: So it was just it was crazy.
Speaker 10: Wait they both got ejected. The broadcast didn't even talk
about it.
Speaker 6: So I do want to go back and like watch
the games.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, yeah, it's a different feel.
Speaker 7: Yeah when they when they got tossed, were you in
were you in the press box?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 7: What was the conversation when those guys got tossed out
of the game? I know, you know, we all know
press boxes and it gets like chirpy in there and
everybody's got their opinion.
Speaker 5: What was it like there?
Speaker 6: Everyone was like, oh, whenever the guy first spell, because
it did from where we were, it did kind of
look like he bumped him, but then we saw it
on the replane. It was like, oh no, he flopped
like Lebron James, and like the conversation was kind of
like it was stupid to eject him, and we didn't know.
We couldn't tell because we didn't have any sound. The
only sound we had was like the field mics, you
know where you can hear them sliding and stuff. That's
all we could hear. So we couldn't hear like anything
on the broadcast or anything that was being said in
the crowd or anything like that. So we were very
confused as to like why he even got tossed because
we didn't see him say like you missed three calls
already or whatever. So everybody was just trying to figure
it out at first, but I think the general consensus
was that it was like an umpshow kind of thing,
like what are we doing right?
Speaker 5: Because of you got ejected him because of the game.
Speaker 8: And that's how it looked on TV too, because we're
sitting there. They got the view behind the picture view,
the standard view, pre pitch view, and you don't see
anything else that you don't see that what's happening with
the first base coach. Yeah, you don't see the beginning
part with a head coach. And then you're like, oh
my god, he just turned around, said one word and
then tossed him. You're like, oh, ump show little guy FT,
Like what it was crazy? What's this guy's deal? National
Championship game. You can't do that. That's the immediate reaction
of everybody. Yeah, and then you start hearing the breakdown
and yes, sure everybody can still have their their opinion
on it, but like we talked, we broke it down
there that they didn't really matter.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I think so you'll appreciate this being a
Yankees fan. The way I said it was, it didn't
matter if Joe Tory was the manager.
Speaker 5: Yeah, for Coastal they weren't gonna win, right, It.
Speaker 6: Really didn't, no, because we have the better team, period.
Speaker 7: He did, and LSU had so much left that they
could have thrown at Coastal Carolina. The best team won.
Coastal's great, Lshu's better. LSU finishes it off and so.
Speaker 6: Well, and their a's pitched on Sunday. Yep, And he
didn't even go as long as Camp Fluky. I don't think. Yeah,
he was like we got on Yeah, we got on
him real quick. So it was so to me and
Rech like whenever we beat Arkansas in the ninth inning
and all that happened, I to me, it felt like
the Wake four situation where you just kind.
Speaker 10: Of knew you were going to that championship, like you knew.
Speaker 6: It, like no matter what happened, this team was going
to find a way to win. And that's what is
so different about like the twenty three team and this
team is like that they had like a bunch of superstars,
and this team it was like a true concerted team
effort to get to yeah, like to get to where
they were, to get to the national championship, Like you
needed every single piece on that team to get there,
and they It just goes back to what Jay preached
the entire season and what he like instilled in the
locker room and the culture he built there of like
big team, little meat. So it's just great, shout out,
shout out, LSU.
Speaker 9: Tell me this. So you went down to standing room
towards the end of the game.
Speaker 8: So I saw some posts on the socials about the post.
Speaker 10: I didn't see a lot.
Speaker 8: Of details or clips, but the trophy ceremony. I heard
there's like no LSU fan had left.
Speaker 10: How was that?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Still to me, like the.
Speaker 8: Trophy ceremony could be like the coolest part of the
whole situation because the vibes are still high.
Speaker 9: Everyone's still sweating in a row.
Speaker 5: We get it. You got to hold the crystal ball,
we get it.
Speaker 9: You were looking up at the sage.
Speaker 5: I was actually on.
Speaker 6: Stage, but yeah, I know, there's still a bunch of
fans there. They were all singing, colling By and Rouge,
cheering everybody on. And what kind of sucked though, is
that the Coastal teams stayed in the dugout throughout the
entire celebration and just kind of like watched it all
go on. And then I know, and then I felt
bad because like we went down there and T Bob
was in the stands. Obviously I'll saw he was like
above the Coastal dugout and he was waving at us.
So me and Rivers are like waving at him, and
we're like hey, And then I even was like woo.
I threw an l up and then we realized that
we were right in front of the Coastal Carolina Dugout
and It looked like we were talking them, but really
we were.
Speaker 10: Just saying how do Yeah.
Speaker 6: Sure. I was like, man, I look so mean right
now because I was even.
Speaker 5: Throwing the l up so.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so yeah, hello, yeah. So the Kevin Stall ended
up coming out and him and skip Bertman.
Speaker 5: I did see that, so it's very cool.
Speaker 7: Well, I'm glad you went. I'm glad you had a
great time. I'm glad you have that experience. I'm glad
you got to see t again. We've seen and talked
to Tea more now than when he worked here.
Speaker 5: So he was like, he was like, do you.
Speaker 6: Just do you just sit there and like miss me
all the time. And I was like, dude, you don't
let me miss you like you are still very much
in my life.
Speaker 5: I can see to you. I'm saying that. Yeah, it's

Speaker 9: That's up to do.
Speaker 10: Wow, I'm a busy guy.
Speaker 12: You got to give me at least a week and
a half heads up notice to plan something. I found

Speaker 7: Oh so yesterday. So you didn't have faith that she
was going to close it out and have parade.
Speaker 10: Was going to be Wednesday at seven pm.
Speaker 9: No idea, I.
Speaker 5: Guess at eight pm that eight pm?
Speaker 9: Oh my lord, I know it's the.

Speaker 5: Did you see there, Flynn?
Speaker 9: What'd you say?
Speaker 5: Clear? Fanny clear? Yeah?
Speaker 9: I actually do have a clear fanny pack.
Speaker 8: That's why moments like this it's hard to sneak contraband
in there.
Speaker 9: I found though.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I guess that's the point. It's frustrating. But Taylor,
what sport would you on two days notice go to
a celebration parade?
Speaker 12: So, to be honest, I've never been to an l
U celebration, braide, any sport.
Speaker 7: You didn't go to the twenty nineteen the one that
I hosted, like just didn't support me.
Speaker 12: We didn't really know each other in nineteen. Oh wow,
I worked here, I worked on Bryan Show. No, I
didn't go to never been to a celebration fifteen, But
I mean I would go. I would go to anello
shoot football. What happened in the past. So it's not
like I'm just not going.
Speaker 8: I was actually about to agree with you to say
I've never been to one either, but yeah I did.
Speaker 9: I wasn't supported my guy here. Thank you nineteen, thank
you you went to seven. I went to seven.
Speaker 10: I did not.
Speaker 9: I went to three.
Speaker 5: I didn't go to seven. I was I was training
and didn't really know about it that like just didn't
know what really was happening. Yeah, that was weird.
Speaker 9: She was freezing.
Speaker 7: I do remember seeing the but I was in Arizona,
and I swear to god, I remember being like social
media wasn't what social media is now, but I remember
like it's finding its way in front of me.
Speaker 5: I'm like, did I get it? Invite? I mean, but
I'm like, wait, hold on, I say, rewind this O seven.
I was already in Arizona training.
Speaker 7: You didn't go to the celebration. No, it was that
can't be real. I swear to god. I had no idea,
Like I didn't even know. I got out of here
so quick after the championship game.
Speaker 5: I went the next day like I didn't. I didn't
sit because I had to go.
Speaker 7: I felt like I was so far behind because the
championship game was like January ninth something around there, and
everybody else had been training for like three four weeks.
And I'm like, man, I got to get out of here.
So Katie and I flew out to Arizona the day
after the National Championship game. And again, like now, you
would open up Twitter and you'd see National Championship celebration,
but I swear to god, I saw it after it
was like already taking place.
Speaker 5: I'm like, wait, hold up, wait a minute. And I
think it's just because I left so soon after.
Speaker 8: There's no way you don't even hear about it unless
you're just like purposely trying to avoid us.
Speaker 5: I mean no, I mean I remember this.
Speaker 8: The celebration was Tiger Stadium, right, and we had like
these black and yellow jumpsuits and like, looking back, they
looked terrible.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 8: I had like gray offensive lineman gloves on because it
was so cold. The wind was whipping and if you
would like gun to my head, I would have sworn
you were in those pictures. Now, Uh huh, it's not there.
Good riddance then not there. Real Foxhold guy didn't even
come celebrate what.
Speaker 7: I was in there, Yeah, because you know me non Foxhole.
But I mean, like I went to the White House trip.
Speaker 8: Obviously you don't think like Glenn Dorsey was training somewhere myself.
Speaker 5: You stayed here for a little bit, No, I.
Speaker 9: Had to, didn't.
Speaker 5: I think you did.
Speaker 8: I went to Orlando, trained at the Wilde World of Sports,
which sucked, like but the train. I went to the
Shriner's Bowl or the Shrine Bowl.
Speaker 5: He sweat shrine Bowl.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he swist shrine bul didn't play. I was just
like there, and then I went straight form there to Orlando.
I wanted to stay. But guess what came back for
the celebration.
Speaker 5: I would have to if you would have known, if
I would have known about it, if.
Speaker 8: Only they had cellular telephones back then, well they barely did,
and yours are still on your belt.
Speaker 5: So is that long ago? Okay?
Speaker 7: Like I came back for I went to Arizona and
then went from Arizona to Mobile, Mobile back to Arizona,
Arizona to Indy, indeed to Arizona, Arizona to Baton Rouge.
Speaker 5: It was it.
Speaker 9: You got invited to the Senior Bowl.
Speaker 5: You went to the East West Shrine Game. You just
mentioned it.
Speaker 9: Although that's like the sub the subcategory.
Speaker 7: How jealous are you that I got a Senior Ball
package yesterday in the mail? So Beanini is now the
title sponsor for the Senior Bowl.
Speaker 5: It's no longer recess.
Speaker 8: I see this come across the feed yesterday, Like I
see you know recent, the recent Senior Bowl is no
longer blah blah blah, and like here's the new sponsor, Panini,
And like I was like, oh my god, that is
so cool. The Panini Senior Ball, which, for those of
y'all listening in the sports memorabiliy world, there's Panini and.
Speaker 9: There's Tops, there's the two big boys. Yeah, they make
the who make the sports cards.
Speaker 8: And I was like, this is incredible because I've seen
like you and T Bob used to go to the
Senior Bowl. And I was like, this is our chance,
like go meet the big wigs and yes, you get
some good wholesale pricing.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 7: All we want to get paid by boxes of cards
at wholesale price, that is all we want.
Speaker 9: I was like, this is our opportunity right here.
Speaker 10: Thank god. I was just about to ask what the
hell Panini was.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'll see, I didn't know.
Speaker 6: Sandwich.
Speaker 10: Yeah, like, Panini's a sandwich. That doesn't sound like a company.
Speaker 6: I totally thought that you were super excited to get
a bunch of sandwiches.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would be Yeah.
Speaker 10: That's that's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 12: I'm like, but what company, Like, Yeah, Panini's a sandwich
I thought, yeah.
Speaker 9: Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 8: So that's why you don't have to kind of explain
the card thing there, because I until about four months ago,
I didn't know what Panini was either.
Speaker 5: I barely did. I knew what Tops was. I knew it.
Speaker 8: I knew it like you know, back in the day,
like Upper Deck and all that stuff was. But when
I started this thing, this like card journey a couple
of months ago, I thought I was like doing something
that not many people were doing. But nah, after like
this fanatics fest and Panini buying the rights of the
Senior Bowl, which is a genius move for them because
like the rookie cards.
Speaker 9: Are like such like you know, rookie you know whatever.
Speaker 10: Right Ah. But then Jake I text us to Jake.
Speaker 8: I'm I'm breaking news to Jake over here, and I'm like, hey,
look at this, this is incredible Panini Senior Ball. He
liked within four seconds, sends me back a picture of
a Panini care package from the Senior Bowl they sent
to him. A little turd.
Speaker 5: I was just sharing your excitement. They sent a box.
Speaker 7: It had a hat, it had some stickers, had a
couple of different things, and it had like a Panini
Senior Bowl card in a case.
Speaker 9: Was very cool. I wasn't jealous.

cups from Trader Joe's. Yes, Oh my god, They're incredible.
Speaker 5: They are.
Speaker 8: I ate them for a few days, and then I
went back to you to Reese's, and I was like,

I know it's bougie. I know it's like a left
coast thing.
Speaker 6: It's pretty cheap, right.
Speaker 8: It really is like for like for boosting itself to
be like the healthy blah blah blah whatever.

with a lot of people, and there's always a lot
of people, and I don't like that.
Speaker 9: I don't go.
Speaker 8: My wife and she buys me. I think it's like
the dark chocolate peanut butter cups. They will change your life,
I promise you.
Speaker 7: And the Chad Daniel Basham said, I will support Lewis
if Flynn hates.
Speaker 8: I love I love I love a peanut butter cup.
Speaker 9: It's the best.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 8: When people say what's your favorite candy, it's you. Usually
it kind of depends on what mood I'm in that
time of my life, but usually it's Reesius. I'm telling you,
go trying go, just just don't crush me until you
try it, and.
Speaker 5: I mean, nobody's questioning you. It's fine. You don't have
to be so defensive.
Speaker 10: I will agree with those.

Speaker 5: They say, it's we'll get you every time.
Speaker 7: All right, Flynn your favor at LSU baseball moment from
this championship season.
Speaker 8: Think y'all know that, Like it was tough for me
because I got to go through.
Speaker 10: All the games, all eleven, all eleven.
Speaker 9: That way we're locked into.
Speaker 8: And this is gonna be a kind of like a
it's not gonna be a cheesy answer for me, but
maybe for y'all. Was actually like getting my family so
into Omaha and watching the championship games, like us all
watching it together in the living room, and like legitimately
when every time we would score a run and we'd
get a hit and they could I guess they could
feel like my attention, so they fed off my attension, right,
And then I had that like celebration release like when
when we we knock a run in or whatever. It
is like my kids literally running around the house screaming,
everybody hugging high five in and it was just it
was a really cool moment. And then for afterwards, it's like, hey,
can we go get baseball jerseys? Blah blah, blah blah
blah and then like begging to go to the celebration.
And so it's like that whole part was really cool
for me because you don't get that a lot like
that just pure joy celebratory like the release of like
endor Fit.
Speaker 9: It's just it was a cool moment for us.
Speaker 8: But I guess from a baseball actual standpoint was seeing
the big boy Bear Jones come back from five strikeouts.
That is the beautiful thing about sports is mentally it
separates the week from the strong, especially in big moments.
And I am so and you'll learn this as we
get into football season. I more than like X's and O's, like,
I'm so into the human aspect what humans go through
during sports, like mentally, physically, emotionally, and like for what
he did in such a pressure packed sport from going
five strikeouts in the first game to coming up so
clutch is like you could do a study, a research
on what kind of like mental genetic makeup that it
takes personally and also from everybody around you, from a coach,
from family, from friends to teammates on what all happened,
like to build your confidence because you can't do it
by yourself. You can say you can, but you have
to have that supporting staff around you. So that was
my favorite moment, just from like a mental standpoint of
overcoming mental tough just being an absolute mental giant, a badass,
cool moment.
Speaker 7: A lot of good ones in the chat Kate Anderson
versus Oklahoma when he goes to distance there and gritted
that out. Okajuanomics always a winner. Seeing Bear Jones home
run against Tennessee. That's in here as well. Abosa's favorite
moment is the cameraman in Omaha Nookie missed a going.
He said, the Twitter melt after losing to Omaha and
all the omahall ponds. That's as close as LSU will
get to Omaha. Remember they did lose an early season
game too actual Omaha, so that's a pretty good call
there as well. Beck Pinch hitting with a two RBI
hit to get it going against Tennessee.
Speaker 5: That that's a big.
Speaker 7: Moment and he didn't end up playing a whole lot
after that, but he'll forever have that moment. And it
was a regular season game, but LSU and Tennessee has
certainly become a thing.
Speaker 5: And that was I mean, just cold off the bench
to come in during that for that moment, that as well.
Speaker 7: Top five moment has to be t Bob doing leg
thrust on Coastal's dugout. Definitely was stretching on their dugout.
Tite favorite LSU baseball moment.
Speaker 12: Hate to do this, but I got too because they
they're kind of the same too.
Speaker 5: I thought, you said, I hate to do this, but
I know I have to do it.
Speaker 10: Like one more than one, I have two.
Speaker 12: It's Hernandez's hit against Arkansas to tie the game because
at that point, like you could feel it, or maybe
you couldn't, like I could, you were winning that game.
Speaker 10: Like at that point, that ball game was over.
Speaker 12: I thought Arkansas was gassed at that point, and ultimately
I thought that was the National Championship. I thought those
were the two best teams. So when Hernandez tied it.
But also I'll go back to another Luis Hernandez moment
against a Little Rock. You were down three to nothing
in that ball game. He comes up with a big
time home run, You take the lead, you run away
with that game. You go on a six to zero
run or eight oh run ultimately to win the National Championship.
After that moment, so the two big Louis Hernandez hits
all right, Elandra.
Speaker 6: I also am between two of them, and it's super chalk.
But the Arkansas the entire bottom of the ninth inning
because for me also because I was like, Okay, if
we win, I'm going to Omaha tomorrow. So my heart
was literally pounding out of its chest and I wanted
it so bad for LSU and Taylor's so right, like
you felt like something was going to happen. And this
entire season, I just have felt like this team has
had that same feel that every championship team has, So
that entire just bottom of the ninth inning, it was
so intense. I was I literally was about to have
a heart attack. And then Bear's walk off home run
at like one in the morning versus Tennessee, just because
that's just legendary stuff right there. That's Alix Bo's late
night moment kind of thing.
Speaker 5: So yeah, so.
Speaker 7: Uh, you know one of my favorites A certainly Bear
in the porta potty and Nika. I mean I made
a shirt because that's an iconic moment, So that would
be one I want to point out here waiting in line,
full uniform batting helmet on down in Thibodeaux.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 7: But for me, my favorite LSU moment goes to Ethan Fry,
somebody that, as we talked about yesterday, waited his turn,
never complained, never pouted, never blamed anybody else, went through
some injuries, very highly rated out of high school. So
he felt like he was probably good enough to play,
but it wasn't working for whatever reason.
Speaker 5: And he waited.
Speaker 7: He didn't transfer, he didn't take his ball and go home.
He just sat here, worked, waited and got opportunities. And
my favorite baseball moman this year is in the top
of the fourth inning against Little Rock, Ethan Fry comes up.
You're down five to one. You're down five to one
to Little Rock. You lose right, you go home and
remember the game before. In Game six of the regional
LSU had the bases loaded twice and couldn't come up
with the big hit in the third and fourth inning.
This time, you come up in the fourth inning, same scenario,
same situation, and Jay Johnson moves Ethan Fry up to
the two hole in the lineup, and he doubles off
the right center wall drives in three runs. It didn't
tie the game up. But it got you from five
to one to five to four, and then two innings later,
Luis Hernandez hits that home run to tie it up.
So to know, you know what he went through as
a player, being here, not playing, not having the opportunity
to show his talents. But didn't just say it's, oh,
it's a coach's fault, it's this guy's fault, it's that guy.
Speaker 5: No, he just and you talk to Jay Johnson. He
just worked. He continued to work, he got healthy, he
got his opportunity, and that was very fulfilling for me
as a former player of any sport. In our chat,
you can if you've ever played any sport, do you
know what I'm talking about? To see somebody go through
that and then come up with I mean, at the time,
the biggest hit of the season for LSU.
Speaker 7: I mean you're down five to one. If you don't
come up with a hit there, who knows what that
game turns into.
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's.
Speaker 8: Baseball is such a mental game because it's it's so slow, right,
and I mean that in a good way.
Speaker 9: Like it's like football basketball.
Speaker 8: You hold a lot of pressure, you put pressure on yourself,
but there's not time to think about it. That is
a little bit here and there, like the offense comes
off field, defenses on the field, whatever. But if you
mess up, like you immediately get to go fix the wrong,
to right the wrong right. Yeah, in baseball you have
to wait, wait, wait, and that pressure builds and you
get in your mind. So they for stories like that
with Fry and Bear on the strike like you have
to you have to be mentally tough. You have to
be raised the right way. You have to do all
the things the right way mentally and of course physically
be able to back it up. But we all know
the best player you could be, the physically the best
person in the world, the most talented, the strongest, throw
the hardest, hit the hardest, but if mentally if you're
a mental small person, yeah, it's not gonna it's not
gonna work out if you're mentally weak. And so that
that is a testament to Jay and the people he's
brought in, as a testament to the to the program
that he's built. But you brought up little rockets crazy.
The amount of the euphoria that every LSU fan is
feeling in the National Championship. We got the celebration hanging
a new intimidator. Hey, all of that, that's why sports
is so great. A little team from Little Rock, Arkansas
came up here and by my opinion watching the games,
watching it play out, lu the biggest fight. They were
the best. They played the best at least not I'm
not gonna say the best team. They played the best.
They played their asses off. And what a cool sport
it is when you got a team like that, that's right,
an absolute heater that can bring the eventual national championships
to the brink, having to actually like go out there
and win.
Speaker 9: That thing, make the make the right play, make the
big hit. Oh cool man.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and uh.
Speaker 7: I got Brandon Hollingsworth inside of the chest say it's
his favorite moment was when the walkoff wins against Arkansas
at one am with a seven year old. Because baseball
does not have a bad time, and I think all
of us learn that this LSU baseball season. All right,
we will step away close out our number one. When
we come back here. It is OTB off the bench,
all right. Somebody we've been partnered with here this week,
