00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 3: Can't wait to get down to New Orleans later and

00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,399
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be all on the parade route just ready.

14
00:00:36,439 --> 00:00:37,439
Speaker 1: You know what you have to do to get the

15
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:49,039
good beads right but obviously appropriate. Say no, Cassie's big

16
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:51,439
into Marty Girl because she's from New Orleans. You were

17
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,119
also from New Orleans. Give me your Marty Girl vibes.

18
00:00:54,159 --> 00:00:55,079
What are your what are your thoughts?

19
00:00:55,159 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 4: I'm not really I used to be a Mardi Gras guy,

20
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,079
like back of high school.

21
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: Traumatic experience.

22
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 4: Well, majority wise, the problem is when you lose that

23
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:06,519
one person in the firm group that is willing to

24
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,319
drive everybody around. You know, then you have to you

25
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,040
don't have to rely on yourself, so you can really

26
00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:13,719
partake in the activities. You know. That's when I was

27
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,560
really in my peak, you know, probably right before COVID,

28
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,239
so you all of my friends didn't moved out of

29
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,280
the state and all that, so I don't really have

30
00:01:21,359 --> 00:01:23,359
that luxury now. I was more I would have to

31
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,079
either uber out there or you know, tag along.

32
00:01:27,879 --> 00:01:29,599
Speaker 2: Well, why can't you just drive?

33
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no, no, driving is dead. Driving out there

34
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,319
is dead, super dead as somebody from the city. There's

35
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,439
no way in the where I'm just parking my car somewhere,

36
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:40,439
not no chance, no chance.

37
00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:45,159
Speaker 1: It's appropriate. We're talking Lasue today, guys. Yes, do either

38
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,719
of you know how less you got their colors?

39
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,319
Speaker 2: Yeah? Because Tea Bag ked talking about it last week.

40
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,359
Speaker 4: I do not know this. This is new to me.

41
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:52,760
I don't know.

42
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: I don't They were gonna play two lane and green

43
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,840
was taken, so they just had purple, yellow, purple and yellow.

44
00:01:58,879 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: Tea bops. Almost right, He's almost correct, So.

45
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yes, yeah, yeah.

46
00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: He was the one who gave me this idea, and

47
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,560
I was like, let me look it up and confirm.

48
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,719
Of course he was about eighty percent correct. Okay, so

49
00:02:13,879 --> 00:02:17,000
doctor Charles Coates, he became the school's first football coach.

50
00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:20,560
All that coach Hall at LSU named after Okay. He

51
00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:22,599
said that they had to have some colors for their

52
00:02:22,599 --> 00:02:25,520
football team. Him and rough Pleasant, who became a governor

53
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,759
of Louisiana later on, and a couple other guys went

54
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,439
to a place called Raymond's store in downtown ben Rouge.

55
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:34,000
When they got to the store, the store happened to

56
00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:36,759
be stocking up for Marti Gras, and they said, we

57
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,039
need all of this ribbon. We're buying it out. No,

58
00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:42,879
this was like like in February. They were doing it

59
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,759
for like baseball following like they started it at the

60
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,439
first of the year and green had not yet come

61
00:02:50,439 --> 00:02:52,960
in to the department store. They only had purple and gold.

62
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,560
They bought up all the purple and gold and that's

63
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,400
how the color started. Because uh, David Boyd, he was

64
00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:02,120
the first press it in the university. He actually declared

65
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,719
LSU's official colors blue and white ew But they never

66
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,759
actually had any like official uniforms at that time because

67
00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:10,840
they haven't done on sports teams you was just like, Okay,

68
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,639
our official colors are going to be blue and white.

69
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,800
And then he returned years later so it was purple

70
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,199
and gold and was like, I actually like it. So

71
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:16,639
it's stuck.

72
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,759
Speaker 4: Well, I'm out that a little Marty Girl for you

73
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,039
this morning. That's that's a good that's a good thugget.

74
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,000
But honestly we should be happy LSU to not go

75
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:28,400
blue and white. That's it's just really generic. It's really generic.

76
00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:31,719
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah. Also, guys, be on your toes. I'm going

77
00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:34,000
to throw both of you random Marty Girl facts throughout

78
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,960
the show, and you you guys got to get them right.

79
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,280
Marty Girl trivia question, just randomly we're here, we're here.

80
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,400
You'll know when they're coming.

81
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: Process of elimination is what I'm going to use.

82
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: All right, look, let's dive right into it. Yesterday I

83
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:51,800
kind of gave you a overview of all of spring football.

84
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,240
It will begin on Saturday for your LSU Tigers. But

85
00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:56,680
what I want to do the rest of the week,

86
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,400
one day a week, I want to kind of break

87
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:01,159
down a position going into what's it going to look

88
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:04,240
like at spring practice? What can it look like coming

89
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,159
back around to the fall and Before we do that,

90
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,360
let's get this show started. So today I want to

91
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:11,960
highlight the LSU running back room for twenty twenty five.

92
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,639
So Caden Durham is obviously your top running back, right

93
00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:17,920
He kind of burst onto the scene in that South

94
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:21,920
Carolina game Week three, really never looked back. He had

95
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:24,439
over seven hundred and fifty yard rushing six touchdowns in

96
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,480
twelve games, five and a half yards per carry, by

97
00:04:26,519 --> 00:04:29,399
the way, also close to three hundred yards receiving another

98
00:04:29,439 --> 00:04:32,519
couple of touchdowns through the air as well. Look, he

99
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,160
brought life to an offense that was struggling to run

100
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:37,759
the ball. You saw it from Game one. LSU couldn't

101
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:39,680
get anything going against USC. They had to turn to

102
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:41,639
John Emery. He got a little bit of life, but

103
00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:43,959
he tore his knee in that game. They had to

104
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,160
convert Jawan Johnson to running back. When Caden Durham got

105
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:50,720
in there, everything changed. We know who your top back

106
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,240
is this year. I think he has the ability to

107
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,319
be an all Sez style running back. I think he

108
00:04:55,399 --> 00:04:59,040
is that good. But what's behind Caden Durham is a

109
00:04:59,079 --> 00:05:02,720
little bit more important because Josh Williams is gone, and look,

110
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,800
I get it a lot of people have a lot

111
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,120
of different things to say about Josh Williams should have

112
00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:10,959
been in on certain situations. I thought Josh Williams was

113
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,319
so valuable to this team. His numbers don't jump off

114
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,639
the page, Jetge. I mean, fourteen hundred yards and seventeen

115
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,160
touchdowns in five seasons at lshoot, but it's what he

116
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,160
did in big molts, right. We saw him in the

117
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,519
Alabama game two years ago with Jaden Daniels. He threw

118
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,000
the block to help Daniels score. He had a good

119
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,639
game as well. He was so valuable on short yardage.

120
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,120
He was an excellent pass blocker. He could catch the

121
00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:38,480
ball out of the backfield, as I just mentioned. I

122
00:05:38,519 --> 00:05:44,800
mean he had six hundred yards receiving in his LSU career,

123
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,920
So I mean this is a guy that had really

124
00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:49,000
good hands out of the backfield, could really do everything.

125
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,199
Wasn't phenomenal at one aspect of football, but you could

126
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:55,600
rely on him to do pretty much anything and he

127
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,759
was there to do it for you. The first guy

128
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:02,639
we're mentions Caleb Jackson. Look, this is his third year

129
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,879
in the program. He's a guy that obviously looks the part,

130
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,639
but we've been waiting for him to break out, and

131
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,399
it just hasn't happened yet. His play actually decreased this

132
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,959
year than it did two years ago as a freshman. Again,

133
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,160
he's certainly talented. He just hasn't been able to put

134
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,839
it all together. Can he do it? He's not gonna

135
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,519
be honest. I thought he looked a little heavy last year,

136
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,639
maybe a little bit out of shape. Now, who's to

137
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,360
say he can't get back to that freshman form. It's

138
00:06:27,399 --> 00:06:29,360
just something that we're gonna need to see. There was

139
00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:33,199
a lot of hype around Jackson coming into last season

140
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,160
because of the flashes we saw from him as a freshman. Right,

141
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,879
We're like, Okay, he's only going to get bigger, stronger, faster,

142
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,879
and more comfortable with this offense. And then he takes

143
00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:44,519
a step back and it's a little disheartening. Well, enter

144
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,199
Harlem Barry at number one running back in the country.

145
00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:50,920
He's about as explosive as it gets. Guys, when I

146
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,199
bring up these numbers, I need you to understand that

147
00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:57,279
this is not career. This is what he did his

148
00:06:57,439 --> 00:06:59,920
senior year in high school. He was louisy in his

149
00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:03,439
Gatorade Player of the Year. Is a senior two and

150
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,519
seventy eight yards forty one rushing touchdowns on twelve yards

151
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,199
per carry. I get it. He played in a lower

152
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,639
A level of football in Louisiana. I don't give a

153
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:15,000
crap who you're playing. You put up those kind of numbers,

154
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:17,439
you could play football. He was also a state champion

155
00:07:17,439 --> 00:07:20,040
in the one hundred and two hundred meters twice in

156
00:07:20,079 --> 00:07:22,600
his high school career. So the guy can flat out

157
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,079
play football. He catches the ball out of the backfield.

158
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:29,000
Everything I just mentioned outside of pass blocking that you're

159
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,319
going to lose from Josh Williams. Harlan Berry showed that

160
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,920
he could do that and a whole lot more at

161
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,000
the college level. Can't he have an immediate impact in

162
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,120
the Tigers backfield. He's going to be on campus for

163
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,959
spring football. You're going to be able to see him.

164
00:07:41,959 --> 00:07:43,560
You're going to hear reports about him, and it's going

165
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:44,879
to be able to see him. You're going to hear

166
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,360
reports about him in spring. He is going to be

167
00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:50,839
out there again. He's that early in Rolye. Can he

168
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,319
pass up Caleb Jackson? You also have JT. Lindsay who's

169
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,040
not going to be here in the spring, but look, JT.

170
00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:01,920
Lindsay's no slouch as well. I mean he led his

171
00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:04,399
team to a state championship appearance this year. They didn't

172
00:08:04,399 --> 00:08:06,720
win it, but I mean he guided them all the

173
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,000
way there. And look, as a junior he was really

174
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,560
good as well. I mean he had seventeen hundred yards

175
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,480
twenty six touchdowns as a junior. He was named All

176
00:08:17,519 --> 00:08:19,959
state at the five A level. He posted a ten

177
00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:23,519
to eighty five and one hundred meter as a junior

178
00:08:23,519 --> 00:08:25,480
in high school. He's another Guy's a tray guy. He's

179
00:08:25,519 --> 00:08:28,759
five to eleven. He's one eighty five, so he's a

180
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,720
little bit lighter, but look, he can put on ten

181
00:08:31,839 --> 00:08:34,480
pounds as long as it doesn't take away from that speed.

182
00:08:34,519 --> 00:08:37,519
He has. Both of these guys coming in, super super

183
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:43,440
talented guys. So here's my issue. Let's say because Kayden Durham,

184
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,360
I'm gonna go ahead and pencil him in his RB one.

185
00:08:46,519 --> 00:08:50,759
Let's say Harlem Berry gets those RB two reps over

186
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,000
a Caleb Jackson in sprint. Jackson already knows JT. Lindsay's

187
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,399
coming in in the fall. I'm not saying this is

188
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,039
going to happen. I'm not saying I want this that

189
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,639
I'm predicting this up. But let's just say, hypothetically, Caleb

190
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,639
Jackson enters of the transfer portal, you still love that

191
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,360
spring window coming up. He knows now that he's the

192
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:12,080
third team guy behind Durham and Bear, Durham and Barry.

193
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,200
You've still got J. T. Lindsey coming in. So what

194
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,600
if he leaves, that only leaves you with three running backs.

195
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,840
But it actually doesn't. And I know that a lot

196
00:09:23,879 --> 00:09:26,840
of people are gonna, you know, kind of scoff at

197
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,559
the notion of a preferred walk on. However, you gotta

198
00:09:30,639 --> 00:09:33,759
remember soon scholarships are going to go from eighty five

199
00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:36,039
to one hundred and five. I imagine that's going to

200
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,440
change a few things. Interred show Van a kid from

201
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:42,120
right here in bat Rouge, played at Episcopal High School.

202
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,559
Read put up in high school four thousand rushing yards

203
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,039
and sixty three touchdowns. Now he played fullback, but they

204
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,960
ran that wing tease. He was kind of their primary

205
00:09:51,039 --> 00:09:54,240
running back there. Anyways, back to back two thousand yard

206
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,679
rushing seasons and back to back twenty five touchdown seasons.

207
00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:03,159
He's outstanding. Also, he is state champion powerlifter. He was

208
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,879
a runner up as a freshman. He took the title

209
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,720
during his sophomore and junior seasons. He has nine school

210
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,320
powerlifting records. So this is a guy. Look, he's going

211
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,960
to come in at LSU five eight, five nine, hovering

212
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,720
around two hundred, two hundred and five pounds. But the

213
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,080
guy could play When he played right here in bet Ruge,

214
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,120
he played in a tough district with Episcopal Look. He

215
00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:28,200
was first team All district twice as a junior and

216
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,919
a senior player of the Weegue number of times. This

217
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,480
is a guy that can play football. This is not

218
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,200
your normal walk on. We talked about when Amil Picarella

219
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,799
signed here as a quarterback, right he passed up a

220
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,919
lot of small offers to come to LSU. It's his

221
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:42,480
dream school.

222
00:10:42,519 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 2: Reach.

223
00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:44,919
Speaker 1: Chouvin did the same thing. He's a guy that had

224
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,799
offers to go play at a bunch of smaller schools.

225
00:10:46,919 --> 00:10:49,679
Very similar to a Josh Williams. Go look at Josh Williams.

226
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,360
When he got here at LSU, he was about five nine,

227
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:55,120
one hundred and ninety five pounds. That's about where Reed

228
00:10:55,159 --> 00:10:57,000
Shouvan's going to be when he comes in here as

229
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,879
a freshman. This is a guy that keep an eye

230
00:10:59,919 --> 00:11:01,480
on now he's not going to be here in spring.

231
00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:03,879
He'll be here for summer workouts, and then when fall

232
00:11:03,919 --> 00:11:07,840
football rolls around, he'll be there. So if Caleb Jackson

233
00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:11,360
decides to transfer, in case he gets passed off going

234
00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:14,639
into the fall, you'll still have Kayden Durham, Harlan Barry, JT.

235
00:11:14,759 --> 00:11:17,240
Lindsay and Read Chovan And I get it, the kids

236
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,799
are preferred walk on. But if he can carve out

237
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,879
a nice role for himself, that's still for running backs

238
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,399
right there. That way, you don't have to dip in

239
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,960
the portal late. This is a position battle really between

240
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,039
Harlem Berry and Caleb Jackson. Then I'm going to be

241
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,559
watching very closely in the spring because that battle is

242
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:33,919
going to tell you a lot on whether or not

243
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,240
Caleb Jackson sticks around, whether or not he finds other

244
00:11:36,279 --> 00:11:39,080
opportunities elsewhere. If that happens, that could open the door

245
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,480
for guys like JT. Lindsay and Read Shovan. All right, look,

246
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,519
we're going to take a quick time out when we

247
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,759
get back a couple college football topics. I want to

248
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,799
hit some possible rule changes coming to the faking injuries.

249
00:11:50,799 --> 00:11:53,440
I'm gonna get a laudr and Jordan's thoughts on that. Also,

250
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,279
Hard Knocks announced they might be following a new team. However,

251
00:11:57,759 --> 00:11:59,679
it's not a team in the NFL. We'll get into

252
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,279
that as well. Well, that's coming up on the other

253
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,440
side here on off the bench, off the benchs. Yeah,

254
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,080
look at look at it. Look at my guy.

255
00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 4: A hundred burns in the check.

256
00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 5: Go Pells, baby, that's right, Go Pels and go Tommy's

277
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: Go Tommy's dot count back to sports Talk maybe off

278
00:13:07,879 --> 00:13:13,759
the bench. Alandra has decided officially what she is giving

279
00:13:13,799 --> 00:13:17,039
up for Marty Graw or fat for lent. Remember remember

280
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,080
her and her and Cassie yesterday and we're like, yeah,

281
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,519
we're not giving anything up. Yeah, you hadn't decided yet.

282
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,159
Cassis like, I'm not given anything up. What did we do?

283
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,039
What did we decide?

284
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: Okay?

285
00:13:26,879 --> 00:13:29,799
Speaker 3: So, also one thing about LYNT is that like you

286
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,720
don't have to give something up. You can also like say, oh,

287
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,679
I'm not gonna cuss for forty days or I'm gonna

288
00:13:36,799 --> 00:13:37,960
commit to doing.

289
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,279
Speaker 2: This for forty days or whatever like it. It doesn't

290
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,840
have to be like you're giving something up.

291
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 3: But I decided I'm gonna give up soda because the

292
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,000
doctor Pepper addiction is real. But also I was telling

293
00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:49,919
y'all before we came back from break, I didn't finish

294
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,600
the story that I saw this thing on Facebook.

295
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: That I think I'm gonna do too.

296
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 3: This girl is gonna do like a mile, like so

297
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,639
forty miles and forty days, So she's gonna run a

298
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:02,240
mile at and while she's like running the mile, she's

299
00:14:02,279 --> 00:14:06,440
gonna like listen to a certain prayer or like pray

300
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:07,759
the rosary while she's doing it.

301
00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:09,039
Speaker 2: So I think I'm gonna do that too.

302
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,399
Speaker 1: Your little fitness involved as well. Yeah, I just sent

303
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:17,720
out a text message trying to figure out what t

304
00:14:17,879 --> 00:14:20,799
Bob is giving up for lent because that fascinates me.

305
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: Is he giving something up? Did he give something up

306
00:14:23,159 --> 00:14:23,480
last year?

307
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:23,879
Speaker 1: I don't know.

308
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:24,679
Speaker 4: I don't know.

309
00:14:24,759 --> 00:14:27,519
Speaker 1: I can't imagine what t Bop would give up for lint,

310
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,879
I don't. He seems like a very like routine person.

311
00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:34,399
Sausage well brought someummer brought, summer.

312
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,879
Speaker 2: Is over, so the like went into broad fall though.

313
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 4: That Yeah, that very well, that very well could be

314
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,600
a obsession with sausage. It's every time you hear what

315
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,919
is this a go to meal something with that includes

316
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,039
some type of sausage?

317
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: Every time, Jordan, are you giving something up?

318
00:14:48,759 --> 00:14:50,519
Speaker 4: Oh no, I'm not gonna waste God's time in life

319
00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:52,279
to him be like, yeah, I'm giving this up. It's

320
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,960
not it's just not. He knows my heart. He knows

321
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,919
I'm just not gonna get it done. So it's like

322
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,440
I'm not evenna waste God's time. God know I'm gonna

323
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,039
be like, hey, I you got a weak out of me.

324
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,360
It's wraps. I can't even do it.

325
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that seemed. That seems pretty much on.

326
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: I can't give up.

327
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: The only thing I could give up will be Chip

328
00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:12,080
fil A, and it's just too good, So I can't

329
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:12,279
do it.

330
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,879
Speaker 2: Jesus gave up his life.

331
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,639
Speaker 4: Man, Thank you Jesus.

332
00:15:15,639 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: We needed that.

333
00:15:16,519 --> 00:15:18,759
Speaker 4: But you know I'm not too. I'm not perfect. I

334
00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:22,200
can't do it. I just my soul is corrupted. I'm sorry.

335
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:23,960
I just can't do it.

336
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,559
Speaker 1: Impossible transition into this next topic.

337
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 2: You know how you could have transitioned. You could have

338
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,519
hit us with another trivia question.

339
00:15:30,519 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, okay, let's go get your first trivia question

340
00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:40,440
of the day. What does purple, green and gold signify?

341
00:15:40,519 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: And Marty girl, I feel like Jordan should know this.

342
00:15:42,559 --> 00:15:49,879
Speaker 4: Holy smokes, I don't know. At the good times roll baby, that.

343
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: Would be a saying not colors.

344
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,679
Speaker 2: But very close, fun, fun and more. Fun.

345
00:15:56,559 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: So purple is justice, Oh my goodness, greenest faith and

346
00:16:01,799 --> 00:16:02,679
gold power.

347
00:16:02,759 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: One of them who who is looking?

348
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 4: It's like some of you get off a popsicle stick

349
00:16:07,039 --> 00:16:07,480
of something.

350
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,039
Speaker 1: You don't know where I got where Parade dot com.

351
00:16:13,039 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 4: I'm about to say some type of mighty gras uh

352
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:16,919
one O one dot com or.

353
00:16:16,919 --> 00:16:19,559
Speaker 1: Some parade dot com. For what it's worth, t Bop says,

354
00:16:19,639 --> 00:16:22,519
I'm giving up giving up stuff for lent, So that

355
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,840
is what he's giving up. Bop is not giving up anything,

356
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:26,840
not surprising.

357
00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:29,279
Speaker 2: Try to be nicer to you during limp.

358
00:16:30,159 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: Can he do that for forty days? We'll be back

359
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,720
up and Bob do that for forty minutes?

360
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: No?

361
00:16:36,559 --> 00:16:39,159
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, you gotta think there's two days that he's

362
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,919
not doing There's like the rest of this week that

363
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,240
he's not doing it, and then the weekend there's two

364
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:43,759
days that.

365
00:16:43,759 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: He doesn't like.

366
00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:46,679
Speaker 3: So okay, he might just have to extend it to

367
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,840
what how many weeks is forty days?

368
00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:53,679
Speaker 2: Seven seven, seven and a half. Yeah, I can't do

369
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,000
the math.

370
00:16:54,159 --> 00:16:55,879
Speaker 4: Well, well I'm terrible a math too, so I'm not

371
00:16:55,919 --> 00:16:58,679
even gonna be like but but at the same time, Taylor,

372
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,840
you gotta look at it like this, You and T

373
00:17:01,039 --> 00:17:04,440
Bob have a good relationship like outside, like y'all do

374
00:17:04,519 --> 00:17:07,119
what y'all do on air outside of his guys, they're

375
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,640
like best Buzz, their best Buzz.

376
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,839
Speaker 1: I'm prob I hate T Bob. That's not even true.

377
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,480
You're lying. How are you gonna lie on Marty girl, Jordan?

378
00:17:13,799 --> 00:17:16,799
Speaker 4: Because I know what I'm sitting here. I see the

379
00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:19,279
office dynamic every day. They're best of Buzz guys, They're

380
00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:22,920
best of Buzz. Don't don't buy into the the the

381
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,920
script they're running. The jig is up.

382
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm exposing speaking of being exposed, players who are faking

383
00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:33,079
injuries might have finally been exposed. About that? How about

384
00:17:33,079 --> 00:17:36,039
that for a transition? So, Uh, the NCAA Football Rules

385
00:17:36,039 --> 00:17:39,720
Committee has proposed a timeout to be charged whenever medical

386
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,680
personnel enters the field to evaluate players after the ball

387
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,119
has been spotted. UH. Teams with without timeouts will be

388
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,640
assessed a five yard delay game penalty. So what this

389
00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:52,400
is trying to prevent is you see it all the time,

390
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,920
shout out Laying Kiffin and Ole miss this is your

391
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,000
fault right when the ball is spotted right before the

392
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,839
snap of player. Just kind of lays down, you know,

393
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,240
to stop the clock give your defense time too. Well, yes,

394
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,400
you will be charged a timeout. A timeout will be

395
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,200
taken away from you have medical professionals deemed that not

396
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,200
a real injury, and if you don't have any timeouts left,

397
00:18:12,799 --> 00:18:14,640
it will be a five yard delay a game. The

398
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,119
committee says, if a player that's struggling and the official

399
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,200
stops the clock to get that player out, we will

400
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,279
not invoke a time out. However, there are these plays

401
00:18:23,279 --> 00:18:25,079
where the ball is down, the defense is still trying

402
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,400
to get to their side of the ball, and a

403
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,119
player just falls down randomly. Those are the type of

404
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,240
plays that we do not want, that we think is

405
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,079
bad look, and we will think this rule will address it.

406
00:18:35,559 --> 00:18:38,920
I am all for this. I know when we talked

407
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,000
about this, when this rule was first proposed, I brought

408
00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:43,920
up the point of like, hey, now a player has

409
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,960
to sit out a play, what if they had to

410
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,279
sit out the remainder of the drive. But the more

411
00:18:48,279 --> 00:18:51,480
and more I thought about that, you could just put

412
00:18:51,519 --> 00:18:53,279
in a guy that you know is not gonna play

413
00:18:53,319 --> 00:18:55,160
that much if he sits out the rest of the drive.

414
00:18:55,599 --> 00:18:57,400
I mean, who really cares? He doesn't make that big

415
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,480
of an impact for your team. Anyways, I appreciate the

416
00:19:01,559 --> 00:19:04,480
NCAA trying to do something about this. It's one of

417
00:19:04,519 --> 00:19:06,920
those things that I personally believe is bad for the game.

418
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,279
I gotta be honest with you, guys, I don't know

419
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,079
how enforceable this rule actually is. I don't know how

420
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,160
one can determine whether a player is injured or not.

421
00:19:17,519 --> 00:19:19,559
I can look at it and take a pretty much

422
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,039
educated guess and be ninety percent certain did that dude's

423
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,440
just flopping to give his defense extra time. But you're

424
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,319
never gonna know for certain. And it's only going to

425
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,839
take that one time where a player has actually heard

426
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,079
a team has to lose the time out they need

427
00:19:33,079 --> 00:19:34,319
that time out at the end of the game. They

428
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,519
wind up losing over a legitimate injury for this rule

429
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:41,880
to be overturned. It reminds me a lot of the

430
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,799
targeting rule, how there's so much gray area in it.

431
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,440
Right Like now we talk about okay, well was there

432
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,079
intent behind the hit? The hell are you gonna know

433
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,279
if there was intent behind the hint? Jordan? If I'm

434
00:19:52,279 --> 00:19:54,720
an official and I go up to you and be like, ah,

435
00:19:54,759 --> 00:19:57,240
mister Kitchens, did you mean to target on that play.

436
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,279
Speaker 4: What was your responsible No, mister, sure, I love football.

437
00:20:01,519 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: There you go. You're not gonna you can't really tell

438
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,519
with one hundred percent certainty. And I get it. Guys

439
00:20:05,519 --> 00:20:06,839
you can be like, oh well, you can look at

440
00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:09,400
it and tell sure, but there's always that shadow of

441
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,160
a doubt where you don't know. I love that they're

442
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,960
trying to do this. I don't know what the answer is,

443
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,640
So I'm not a guy that's going to sit up

444
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,440
here and be like, this is the wrong way to

445
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,160
do it. You gotta flip it, you gotta do it

446
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,599
this way. I don't know what can be done outside

447
00:20:24,599 --> 00:20:27,160
of removing that guy and making him sit the rest

448
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,680
of the drive. Maybe that is it, and sure it'll

449
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,839
hurt the team, and maybe there is a legitimate injury

450
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,160
and your guy has to sit out the rest of

451
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,920
the drive. Tough, Sometimes the bad eggs have to ruin

452
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,920
it for everybody else. I don't know if taking away

453
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,640
time out is the proper way to do it, because again,

454
00:20:42,799 --> 00:20:44,519
it's only going to take that one time where a

455
00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:46,559
team loses because they don't have a timeout and their

456
00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:50,160
guy was legitimately injured for this entire rule to blow up,

457
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,640
and this is one of those rules I would like

458
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,039
to see last. I feel like if they do something

459
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,240
like this, the rule's not gonna last. They're gonna bolish

460
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,279
it in about two or three years. I don't know

461
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,119
what you do about it. I'm not sure it's this though.

462
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,119
What are your guys thoughts on it? Like? Is this

463
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,279
an enforceable rule in college football?

464
00:21:09,799 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 4: I say it like this, something needs to be done,

465
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,599
Something needed to be done. Yes, you know that old

466
00:21:15,599 --> 00:21:18,599
Miss Elisitude game. I wrote, Well, what this is about?

467
00:21:18,839 --> 00:21:21,759
What's terrible? Terrible? And you knew it was coming. You

468
00:21:21,799 --> 00:21:27,279
knew it. But it sucks because we're in a position

469
00:21:27,319 --> 00:21:29,519
where you have to do something. So you're right, it

470
00:21:29,559 --> 00:21:31,799
is gonna get to the point where somebody is actually

471
00:21:31,799 --> 00:21:34,400
going to be hurt. And it's like, well, he's actually

472
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,440
hurt if we're losing the time out, if we lose

473
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,519
the game and all that. So it's gonna take that

474
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:41,839
one instance. What that's gonna happen? But something needed to

475
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,960
be done. So maybe it's just gonna get the get

476
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,680
rid of the egregious ones. You know, I had the

477
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,440
guys just said just flopping and they hurt. But I

478
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,000
don't know, it's gonna be interesting.

479
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 3: I think that it makes sense. I just like you said,

480
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,000
I don't know how you can enforce it, Like, oh no,

481
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,279
I swear like I'm really hurt. How do you know

482
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,400
for for a fact that they're faking it? Like I

483
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,440
know that we can say, like, oh, you can tell

484
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,279
that they're faking it, but like, how do you know

485
00:22:07,319 --> 00:22:07,519
for it?

486
00:22:07,839 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: A spontaneous cramp could cause that, right, It could cause

487
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,480
you're like, oh crap, I'm cramping right now, I gonna lay.

488
00:22:12,519 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like the punishment makes sense because that's what they're doing.

489
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,440
They're taking a time out or delaying the game. Yeah,

490
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,039
so that makes sense. It's just how do you enforce it,

491
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,160
because only question.

492
00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: There are certain teams that abuse this loophole a lot

493
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,240
more than others. Like, Okay, a stat came out. It

494
00:22:28,319 --> 00:22:30,680
was when LSU was playing ole Miss during the middle

495
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,440
of the game. Ole Miss had thirty seven stoppages due

496
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,440
to injury on the defensive side of the ball. The

497
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,240
next highest team in the country had like nine. I mean,

498
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,000
they were an incredible outlier. I think this rule goes

499
00:22:44,039 --> 00:22:47,960
after ole Miss more than other teams, which I'm perfectly

500
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,759
okay with. I just again, I don't know how you

501
00:22:52,039 --> 00:22:54,519
enforce this. All right, Look, before we go to break,

502
00:22:54,799 --> 00:22:59,720
I want to bring this up real quick. Hard knocks

503
00:22:59,759 --> 00:23:03,119
might be coming to the college ranks. Yeah, to the

504
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,279
University of North Carolina to follow around Bill Belichick. Man

505
00:23:07,799 --> 00:23:11,240
it is. However, this was kind of my big concern

506
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,559
when Bill Belichick took this job. Oh was is he

507
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,319
just gonna try to make this like the NFL now.

508
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,960
I will say college football now is closer to the

509
00:23:19,079 --> 00:23:22,880
NFL game than it ever has been before. But they

510
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,599
keep saying, okay, well, less and less teams are interested.

511
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,640
I get it. In my opinion, this goes back to

512
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,240
the behind the scenes Joe Shane and the New York Giants.

513
00:23:30,759 --> 00:23:33,640
They got clowned an entire offseason. You saw Joe Shane's kids,

514
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,440
each of them picked a different quarterback for him to

515
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,160
select the league neighbors a great player, doesn't have anybody

516
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,319
to throw him the ball. Then he says, we gotta

517
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,119
let Saquon walk. Nobody's gonna pay Saquon that type of money.

518
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,839
And then he goes, man, I'm gonna be sick of

519
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,119
he goes to the Philadelphia Eagles spoiler, And he went

520
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,240
to the Philadelphia Eagles and he won a Super Bowl.

521
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,319
Is this a good idea? I have mixed feelings about it.

522
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,440
I would love it. I think this is excellent for

523
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:03,039
viewership purposes. Yes, North Carolina has a general manager now,

524
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,440
Michael Lombardi is their general manager. He seems like he

525
00:24:06,559 --> 00:24:09,640
is all for it. I will say, if there is

526
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,519
a coach to follow around in college football vin knows

527
00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:14,559
how this works, that knows how to handle himself in

528
00:24:14,559 --> 00:24:17,000
the behind the scenes aspect, it is Bill Belichick because

529
00:24:17,039 --> 00:24:19,720
he's done it for twenty years in the NFL. You

530
00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:21,720
guys like this, I love you and see hard knock.

531
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,559
So it's going to be offseason too, so it'll be

532
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,759
like between spring and fall practice. Y.

533
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 4: I love it. I think it's I think Bill's playing

534
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,599
the game. One recruiter going to see this is going

535
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,799
to open up the world to what I got going on,

536
00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:36,240
because you know, everybody thinks Bill Belichick is just you know,

537
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,400
demon like this call over what it is. I watch

538
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,000
Stephen really on Julian Emon podcast other day. Bill Belichick sucks.

539
00:24:42,319 --> 00:24:44,920
But this is going to show the world, like, you know,

540
00:24:45,319 --> 00:24:47,599
as I've gotten older, I've lighted up a bit. You know,

541
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,160
the whole coach of staff is like his sons. So

542
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,240
I think it's gonna be really good.

543
00:24:51,279 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 5: Man.

544
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 4: I think I love it. I think it's good for

545
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,480
UNC show him that we're serious. But I think it'll

546
00:24:56,519 --> 00:24:59,640
be bad if they're terrible this year, Like if they

547
00:24:59,799 --> 00:25:03,079
just actually, you know what the bed, I think it

548
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:04,519
would be a bad look. It's like, look at these

549
00:25:04,559 --> 00:25:06,759
guys fooling around. It ain't taking That's.

550
00:25:06,599 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: The thing, right. It's one of those things where, like

551
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,200
anytime you have a polarizing figures your head coach, if

552
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,759
they do something right, people are gonna love him even more.

553
00:25:13,759 --> 00:25:17,039
If he does something wrong, they're gonna criticize every single move. Yes,

554
00:25:17,079 --> 00:25:19,359
but North Carolina knew that risk when they hired Bill

555
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,839
Belichicky Colorado knew that risk when they hired Beyon Sandrys.

556
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,920
If you hire a high profile guy, you kind of

557
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,440
take the good with the bad. It is what it is.

558
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,680
I tell you this for someone who hadn't watched a

559
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,599
Hard Knocks outside of the New York Giants in a

560
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,440
number of years, I'll tune in.

561
00:25:33,559 --> 00:25:34,079
Speaker 4: I'll be there.

562
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: I'll do that. I think it's great for Hard Knocks. Yes,

563
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,880
you want to see the difference between the cut because

564
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,359
we don't look. We hear about the nil deals and

565
00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:43,920
the transfer portal and the payment of players now and

566
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,960
all that. We don't really get to see a behind

567
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,400
the scenes how it all works. We know how it

568
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:49,880
works in the NFL. This would be the first time

569
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,079
we would take a deep dive behind the scenes look

570
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:53,720
at it. I'm excited about it.

571
00:25:53,759 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 4: I'm excited, but I also think one of these kids

572
00:25:55,519 --> 00:25:59,440
gonna mess up real bad. Oh do you about to

573
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,680
say some Oh no, no, but I think one of

574
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,279
these kids is gonna mess up. It's gonna be like,

575
00:26:04,559 --> 00:26:06,680
I need more money, and he's like, well, you know,

576
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,079
we can't give you too much money. He's like, well,

577
00:26:08,079 --> 00:26:10,400
I'm out of here, man. Like somebody's gonna get caught

578
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,240
down bad, Like somebody's gonna.

579
00:26:12,039 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: Like this stuff like that already happens. Anyways. I mean,

580
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,599
you hear about it, You're like, it's always rumors, but

581
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,079
you know you always hear. Oh, well, this guy wanted

582
00:26:18,079 --> 00:26:20,160
four hundred thousand dollars extra. The coach staff told him not,

583
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:25,839
so we took a hike to hear about that. Yeah, alright, guys,

584
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,880
we're gonna take a quick time out when we get

585
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,720
back preview, A and m's brand new football coach has

586
00:26:32,799 --> 00:26:34,880
called out Brian Kelly. We'll break that down when we

587
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,799
get back here on off the bench, Off the bench?

588
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,839
Got what a band? I mean, just banger after banger there.

589
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,000
Thank you a Landra for that one. That has uh

590
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,240
that has made my morning so far. I was depressed

591
00:26:46,279 --> 00:26:50,480
because Jordan's here, but now my mood has completely turned around.

592
00:26:50,599 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 2: I don't feel it.

593
00:26:51,519 --> 00:26:54,839
Speaker 3: I was like, mm, Taylor's feeling a little because Jordan's

594
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,680
that was Yeah, I mean we go from Cassidy to Jordan.

595
00:26:57,799 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what you do. Okay. There

596
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,440
was seen to be a lot of talk in the

597
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:06,160
YouTube chat about what body part I should get pierced.

598
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,319
I don't know who started this or why. Probably would

599
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:17,039
not get any body part pierced, however, I don't know.

600
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:18,559
I mean, what do you what do he? What is

601
00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:21,920
the the most masculine piercing you could have? I guess

602
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,680
just That's what I'm saying, Like, do I have to

603
00:27:25,759 --> 00:27:26,119
keep it?

604
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 6: I guess?

605
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: Can I get that?

606
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,079
Speaker 4: You should definitely get your ears pierced?

607
00:27:31,079 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: I think I think maybe just one small ear and

608
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:34,279
then the left ear.

609
00:27:34,559 --> 00:27:35,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, I get get it.

610
00:27:35,559 --> 00:27:38,279
Speaker 1: Get a hoop e ring left ear it would not

611
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:43,000
be right. No, it's it's the left right.

612
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 4: Get to get the left piers and get the get

613
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:51,200
the dangling Saquon Barkley. Get that. It's a little nice.

614
00:27:51,319 --> 00:27:51,519
Speaker 1: Yeah.

615
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 2: Danny Dickinson has on too.

616
00:27:53,519 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Dickison's that.

617
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: That's fine. Look that may work for Danny Dickenson, fly

618
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,880
bro doesn't work for me. Not not really my thing. Okay, look,

619
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,279
I want to mention it something real quick. Here. Sports

620
00:28:07,319 --> 00:28:12,279
Illustrated put out an article. Brand new head coach for

621
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,559
Prairie View A and M. Tremaine Jackson did an interview

622
00:28:15,559 --> 00:28:19,160
with Texas Football Magazine, and he wasn't afraid to take

623
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,359
aim at Brian Kelly in some of his out of

624
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,759
character recruiting moments. He was asked about his recruiting strategy

625
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,039
at Prairie View A and M. He said, look, we

626
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:29,359
don't wind and dying guys and recruiting. We give it

627
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,079
to you straight up because I don't have time to

628
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,000
de recruit you. You're not going to catch me on

629
00:28:34,039 --> 00:28:36,920
Twitter with my hat backwards dancing on a three to

630
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,519
sixty camera with guys. Brian Kelly did that, and he

631
00:28:40,519 --> 00:28:44,559
ain't won a national championship yet. Okay, so I wanted

632
00:28:44,559 --> 00:28:46,680
to do some digging on that because I canna.

633
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,319
Speaker 2: Say I already started digging a little bit too.

634
00:28:49,759 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: Tremaine Jackson has been a head coach for This will

635
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,359
be his fifth year coming up. He just got hired

636
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,599
back in January to be the Preview A and M

637
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,279
head coach. He was at Colorado MASA for two years.

638
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,400
He was at Valdosta State for three years, so he's

639
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,400
been a head coach for five years. I was looking

640
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,799
and something puzzled me. Guys, Tremaine Jackson's never won a

641
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:18,279
national championship either. No, he has two conference championships at

642
00:29:18,319 --> 00:29:22,240
Valdosta State. He's made it to the NCAA Division quarterfinal game,

643
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,000
which he lost. Last year. He made it to the

644
00:29:25,079 --> 00:29:28,119
D two championship game, which he lost, which Brian Kelly

645
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:33,400
has also done. So my question is why make this statement?

646
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,680
Why why do this? Because you're going to find someone

647
00:29:36,799 --> 00:29:40,240
who covers LSU, who follows Brian Kelly like me, We're

648
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,559
going to do a quick resume search of Tremay and Jackson.

649
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,519
We're gonna call him out. The guy's been a head

650
00:29:44,519 --> 00:29:46,759
coach for five years. He's forty and twelve overall as

651
00:29:46,759 --> 00:29:51,160
a head coach. That's awesome, But stop acting like Brian

652
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,400
Kelly can't recruit. I get it. It is easy to

653
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,079
make fun of Brian Kelly. So many people did the

654
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,599
oh well, he did the fake Louisiana accent when he

655
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,640
said family. He he did all of these things. You know,

656
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,720
he's come up short and big mummy. Sure whatever. You

657
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,200
don't have to like Brian Kelly. But who else made

658
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,000
fun of Brian Kelly because of that Twitter video? It

659
00:30:09,079 --> 00:30:12,599
was Lane Kiffin. Lane Kiffin, no natties. Lane Kiffin never

660
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,759
played in a conference championship game. Also, Brian Kelly outrecruited

661
00:30:16,799 --> 00:30:18,319
Lane Kiffin this year. You go look at the two

662
00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:21,680
four to seven Sports transfer portal rankings, But anybody liked

663
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,319
the guess who's number one? It's LSU now on three?

664
00:30:24,519 --> 00:30:28,640
Does this weird composite average player thing? They got LSU

665
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,319
at like five or six, Matt, anybody looks at it

666
00:30:31,359 --> 00:30:33,880
knows that LSU's one of the top three transfer portal

667
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,759
classes in all of college football. Why take a shot

668
00:30:37,799 --> 00:30:44,079
like this? What have you accomplished as a head coach? Also,

669
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,839
the player that he was caught on video doing the

670
00:30:49,839 --> 00:30:52,920
dance with originally because he did it with Walker Howard.

671
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,839
Do you remember that? But it came out that like

672
00:30:54,839 --> 00:30:57,640
Walker Howard thought it was funny, he requested it, and

673
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,160
it didn't matter because Walker Howard never played here. Anyway,

674
00:31:00,799 --> 00:31:03,880
the guy that everyone made fun of Brian Kelly for

675
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,839
doing that for was Danny Lewis, a tight end. Danny

676
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,440
Lewis did not commit to LSU. He went to Alabama,

677
00:31:11,759 --> 00:31:14,559
and of course the haters, the trolls, whatever you want

678
00:31:14,599 --> 00:31:16,200
to call him, came out and for saying this is

679
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,960
why he didn't sign with LSU. He went to Alabama

680
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,920
because of Brian Kelly. Well, Danny Lewis has played tight

681
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,720
end at Alabama for three seasons now. He has appeared

682
00:31:26,759 --> 00:31:30,480
in thirty two games. Danny Lewis in his three years

683
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,839
at Alabama has one catch for five yards. He has

684
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,680
one catch for five yards. He also returned a kickoff

685
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,599
on a squib kick one time for fourteen yards. So

686
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,680
maybe it's good that Brian Kelly does this because the

687
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,599
two guys that he missed out on, well, he got

688
00:31:48,599 --> 00:31:51,519
Walker Howard never played here, wound up transferring. He loses

689
00:31:51,519 --> 00:31:53,720
out on Danny Lewis, who has been a complete bust

690
00:31:53,839 --> 00:31:58,039
at the University of Alabama. Look at the guys he

691
00:31:58,039 --> 00:31:59,799
didn't do it with. He just brought in a top

692
00:31:59,799 --> 00:32:01,880
ten recruiting class. I believe it was righting number seven

693
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,680
as far as his high school recruiting class. He just

694
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,359
signed the number one transfer portal recruiting class. Maybe it's

695
00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:10,440
a good thing that BAMA got him, because I don't

696
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:11,960
know how much he would have made an impact here

697
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:16,160
in bad Route. I don't really understand why coaches want

698
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,440
to take this shot constantly at Brian Kelly. Look, maybe

699
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,720
he's an easy target. Maybe Look, I don't know Brian

700
00:32:21,799 --> 00:32:24,319
Kelly personally. Maybe other coaches just strictly don't get along

701
00:32:24,319 --> 00:32:25,920
with him and don't like him because of that reason.

702
00:32:26,279 --> 00:32:28,480
But to sit up here and say, oh, well, Brian

703
00:32:28,519 --> 00:32:31,000
Kelly's never won a national championship, so that's not I

704
00:32:31,119 --> 00:32:33,599
do it a completely different way. Yeah you haven't either,

705
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,880
Lane Kiffin takes a shot at him. Yeahlane, you haven't

706
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,319
even played for an SEC championships or you're even lower

707
00:32:38,359 --> 00:32:40,839
on the totem pole than that. This guy's been a

708
00:32:40,839 --> 00:32:43,480
head coach for five years and look, forty and twelve

709
00:32:43,559 --> 00:32:46,039
overall record is a head coach shout out to you.

710
00:32:46,279 --> 00:32:49,359
Seems like you've done a great job, but you haven't

711
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,920
won anything of any significance either. So why strictly point

712
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,920
to Brian Kelly strictly bring up the point that he

713
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,720
has not won a national championship when you haven't either.

714
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,160
Clearly your recruiting tech that'sart working any better than Brian Kelly's.

715
00:33:02,759 --> 00:33:06,480
And uh, I just don't I don't get why you

716
00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:10,240
take a shot for something like this. It has never

717
00:33:10,279 --> 00:33:12,400
made sense to me. It's one of those things that

718
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,240
coaches do. They try to get their name out there,

719
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:15,440
they try to put their name in the media. Look,

720
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,640
Lane Kiffin has been excellent on Twitter. I get it,

721
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,400
that's kind of his thing. Has it helped him win

722
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,559
any big games? If Tremaine Jackson goes to preview A

723
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,000
and M let's say he's incredible, he is the power

724
00:33:29,039 --> 00:33:32,039
of the swack. He goes on to win a national title,

725
00:33:32,359 --> 00:33:34,440
it's not going to be because he did or did

726
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,200
not call out Brian Kelly. I just I don't understand

727
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,640
what coaches gained from something like this. Maybe he thought

728
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,799
it was cool, tell you what it does do I'm

729
00:33:42,799 --> 00:33:45,039
sitting here talking about it it gets his name out there,

730
00:33:45,119 --> 00:33:48,319
and maybe that was his ultimate goal. Because to bring

731
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,400
that up with the resume, you have zero national championships,

732
00:33:52,519 --> 00:33:55,559
five years as a head coach, forty and twelve overall record. Again,

733
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,839
good record, but you're new to the game. Man. You

734
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,640
haven't been a head coach very long and all. You

735
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,119
haven't even coached a game at Prairie View A and M.

736
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,480
Yet I don't really get it. That's just something. Look,

737
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,119
I know it's something silly to bring up. It just

738
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:09,800
it kind of rilled me the wrong way when I

739
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,760
saw it. I'm like, Okay, let's look up this guy.

740
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,719
Let's see how accomplished he is. Because I don't follow

741
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,079
Division two football that much. I mean, i'll admit that

742
00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:16,440
right now.

743
00:34:16,519 --> 00:34:17,039
Speaker 2: No one does.

744
00:34:17,159 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: I go pull it up. I know Valdosta State's typically

745
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,840
a pretty good program, which is where he was before

746
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,639
Prairie View. And I look at it and I see that, Sure,

747
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,159
he's won two conference championships. Shout out to you, congratulations,

748
00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:33,239
coach Jackson. No national championships, nothing of any significance in

749
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,760
his five years. I mean again, forty and twelve overalls. Hey,

750
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,119
coach is great, but I don't really see why you

751
00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:41,880
take this shot. I don't get what you get out

752
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,559
of this. Okay, look we're going to take a quick

753
00:34:43,599 --> 00:34:46,280
time now when we get back. Welcome back to more

754
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,159
sports talk. What's some other stuff mixed in Off the

755
00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:52,440
Bench with Hester and t Bob Welcome back. In the

756
00:34:52,519 --> 00:34:55,320
final segment, Hour number one, a Tuesday edition of Off

757
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,519
the Bench, Taylor Sharpier with the filling in for Jacob

758
00:34:57,519 --> 00:34:59,840
Hester and Ta Bob. A bear teased a little bit

759
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,920
go went in to break right there. The LSU baseball

760
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,440
team is scheduled to take on North Dakota State tonight.

761
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,239
We'll see if the weather holds up. They'll play them

762
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:12,400
today and tomorrow. If not, Ben we'll just do this

763
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,440
whole thing all over again tomorrow. But the Bison are

764
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,920
not a very good baseball team so far. They are

765
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,679
one to nine on the year. But it's worse than that.

766
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,440
They average three point eight runs per game. They allow

767
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:29,559
over eight runs per game. Their cumulative team pitching er

768
00:35:30,559 --> 00:35:35,440
is eleven point one zero. That's awful. They got Jake Schaefner,

769
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,400
who is going to be close to the top of

770
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:41,639
their order. He bats four thirty six. Everybody else significantly

771
00:35:41,679 --> 00:35:43,440
lower than that. He's kind of the only guy that's

772
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,320
going to hurt you on this team. I mentioned that

773
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,079
none of the pitchers are going to scare you because

774
00:35:47,119 --> 00:35:50,760
their team era is north of eleven. I don't think

775
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,239
there's anything you could learn about LSU in this game. However,

776
00:35:54,519 --> 00:35:56,559
it's a get right game. Look, some of the arms

777
00:35:56,559 --> 00:35:59,159
struggled with control over the weekend. If they're rested enough,

778
00:35:59,199 --> 00:36:01,760
you could get them in act, get their mindset back.

779
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,679
You have a batter that you think struggling, if you're

780
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,119
Jay Johnson, get him out there starting the whole game.

781
00:36:06,159 --> 00:36:08,400
Play them because the starters aren't going to learn anything

782
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:12,400
by playing one to nine North Dakota State. So in

783
00:36:12,519 --> 00:36:16,280
this game, what do we want to see? Catch your

784
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,320
position again? Those pitchers that on the weekend, their control

785
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,920
was all over the place, can you get them back right.

786
00:36:23,679 --> 00:36:25,440
You're gonna tinker with the batting order a little bit.

787
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,360
Not your weekend batting order, because I really like the

788
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,599
top three. But you know a guy you can throw

789
00:36:29,639 --> 00:36:31,000
in there and be like, hey, I want to see

790
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,480
what he's got. This is the perfect game to do that.

791
00:36:33,519 --> 00:36:35,320
And you could really do it back to back days

792
00:36:35,599 --> 00:36:38,760
as far as the batting order, goes because honestly, the

793
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,519
guys that you trust, the guys you know are going

794
00:36:40,559 --> 00:36:42,519
to be in the order. I'm sure they'd appreciate a break.

795
00:36:42,519 --> 00:36:44,760
They just played five games and of course of seven days,

796
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,280
and they have another five game week scheduled this week

797
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,599
as well. I'm sure they'd appreciate the break more than anyone.

798
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,119
So look, we'll see what happens they take on They're

799
00:36:53,159 --> 00:36:56,400
scheduled to take on North Dakota State this afternoon, and

800
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,000
they are supposed to do so tomorrow as well.

801
00:37:01,079 --> 00:37:02,199
Speaker 4: You don't want to know, You want to know what

802
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,960
I really want to see by LSU baseball Daniel Dickinson. Well,

803
00:37:05,039 --> 00:37:07,320
no shout out Daniel Dickinson, but can we make the

804
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,519
games accessible? What happened to I have ESPN plus, there's

805
00:37:10,559 --> 00:37:11,039
no reasons?

806
00:37:11,039 --> 00:37:15,119
Speaker 1: Well that was the Frisco Classic? Is they were d

807
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,599
one baseball had like the exclusive broadcasting right today, Well,

808
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,320
a lot of people feel the way you do baseball.

809
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,199
But look, the other games are going to be a

810
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,760
lot more accessible to stream and watch than that one. Look,

811
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,199
before I get out of here, we got about three

812
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,239
minutes to go. I want to preview LSU basketball a

813
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,880
little bit. They are going to take on the Kentucky wildcast,

814
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,960
number nineteen in the country. I know what you're thinking,

815
00:37:38,199 --> 00:37:41,159
LSU basketball is terrible. You would be correct. Kentucky's the

816
00:37:41,199 --> 00:37:43,639
top twenty five team. You would also be correct. This

817
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,960
game is at Rupp Arena, which LSU has struggled mightily

818
00:37:47,079 --> 00:37:50,519
at in recent years. I'm not saying LSU can win

819
00:37:50,599 --> 00:37:52,559
this basketball game, because I think that is a very,

820
00:37:52,679 --> 00:37:56,679
very tall task. What I will tell you is this

821
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,239
might be a game. LSU might be able to turn

822
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:00,800
this into a competitive game, and I'll tell you what.

823
00:38:01,199 --> 00:38:08,920
Look Kentucky's rank number nineteen. Kentucky's last three games ninety

824
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,000
six eighty three, loss to Alabama on the road. They

825
00:38:12,079 --> 00:38:14,199
go on the road to Oklahoma, get a one point

826
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,559
victory over an Oklahoma team that LSU also beat. Kentucky

827
00:38:17,599 --> 00:38:20,039
wins that game eighty three eighty two. They allow Oklahoma

828
00:38:20,039 --> 00:38:22,639
to score eighty two points on them. Then they were

829
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,000
at home this past Saturday against Auburn. Auburn beats them

830
00:38:26,079 --> 00:38:27,840
ninety four to seventy eight. Now, Auburn's going to do

831
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,639
that to a lot of teams. I totally understand that.

832
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,159
But two of the last three games they've lost and

833
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,639
three of the last five. They beat Vanderbilt at home

834
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,519
back on February nineteenth, but the game before that, Texas

835
00:38:39,519 --> 00:38:41,400
beats them on the road eighty two to seventy eight.

836
00:38:41,599 --> 00:38:43,079
So you have a team that has lost three of

837
00:38:43,119 --> 00:38:45,599
the last five games, has lost two of the last three,

838
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,639
are allowing a ton of points offensively. Now, LSU's never

839
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,239
going to be a great defensive team. They don't have

840
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,199
the post players to do it playing simple. However, look

841
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,159
at the games that LSU has won this year. They

842
00:38:58,199 --> 00:39:00,320
beat South Carolina and I get it, so uth CareLine,

843
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,639
it's not very good. They scored a lot of points.

844
00:39:03,599 --> 00:39:07,440
They took down Oklahoma. They scored a lot of points.

845
00:39:07,519 --> 00:39:10,840
Cam Carter went off in that game. I think Kentucky's

846
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,760
going to win this game because I think they're a

847
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,320
far superior team talent wise. However, LSHO can make this

848
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,159
a ballgame. Kentucky's defense has not been good. They beat

849
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,599
Vanderbilt again back on February nineteen, they only gave up

850
00:39:22,639 --> 00:39:25,280
sixty one. Everything other than that, they gave up more

851
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,239
than eighty points in every game they have played the

852
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,639
last four games. So this is a game that if

853
00:39:30,679 --> 00:39:32,800
I wish you can get hot early again. I don't

854
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,719
think they can win it, but they can certainly make

855
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,800
it a game. That game will tip off six pm

856
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,800
tonight in the rep Arena out there in Lexington, Kentucky. Right, Look,

857
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,400
that's going to do it. For our number one of

858
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,199
the show, kind of a little bit of a news done.

859
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,119
We went through a lot of topics. We had some baseball,

860
00:39:47,199 --> 00:39:50,599
some basketball. Just then a Division two coach decided to

861
00:39:50,639 --> 00:39:53,199
call out Brian Kelly even though he had similar resumes

862
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,039
possible rule changes to college football, and we broke down

863
00:39:56,039 --> 00:39:59,039
the LSU running back position coming up for the twenty

864
00:39:59,159 --> 00:40:01,480
twenty five se In an hour number two, we're gonna

865
00:40:01,519 --> 00:40:03,920
kick things off talking New Orleans Saints. We'll talk about

866
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,840
Tyron Matthews future with the Black and Gold. Rosso have

867
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,480
OTB mailbag at eight fifteen, and Jace Legerne off gridin

868
00:40:09,559 --> 00:40:12,840
football is gonna hop on preview some spring football. That's

869
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,920
all coming up. We'll also talk about the LSU Tigers

870
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,199
at the combine. There are a lot of question marks

871
00:40:18,199 --> 00:40:21,079
around Will Campbell at the moment, I don't think they

872
00:40:21,119 --> 00:40:23,039
are warranted. Look, we'll get into all that in a

873
00:40:23,079 --> 00:40:25,280
whole lot more to stay tuned our number two of

874
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:26,880
off the Bench coming up. Right up to this, you're

875
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,679
