Speaker 5: That's how win it has done. That's right. We can't

a k buck Apoliger got the bar. I'm by winning.

17
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:53,679
I went here and I win there.

18
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,399
Speaker 1: Now, what are you doing?

19
00:00:55,479 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 5: What it takes to win a championship?

20
00:00:58,840 --> 00:00:59,119
Speaker 4: Wow?

21
00:00:59,320 --> 00:00:59,679
Speaker 6: Winning?

22
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 5: Well, then I guess there's only one thing left to do.

23
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:05,159
Speaker 6: What's that?

24
00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 5: When the whole thing?

25
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 4: All? Right?

26
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: So I know this was from about four days ago,

27
00:01:15,239 --> 00:01:18,959
but being out all last week, Ryan Ramchek has decided

28
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,079
to officially call it quit after seven seasons. In the NFL,

29
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:31,439
which included three All Pro honors. I think multiple Pro Bowls, obviously,

30
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,280
but the all Pro stuff that is incredibly hard to do.

31
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,400
Pro Bowls won't mean a whole lot anymore, but certainly

32
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:40,239
all pros do. He was an All Pro again three

33
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,879
times from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty. He really looked

34
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,079
like he was on his way to a gold jacket.

35
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:49,920
I mean truly had the start of a Hall of

36
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,159
Fame career. I mean he's even still going to be,

37
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,480
like whispered, a Hall of Fame member just because of

38
00:01:56,519 --> 00:01:59,799
the three All pros anyways, but definitely if he plays

39
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:03,519
two more three more years, certainly he is in can

40
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,079
he is a Hall of Famer. But his body just

41
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,000
failed him. His body could not keep up any more.

42
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,120
Unfortunately that happened. So he only gets seven seasons in.

43
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,960
And I only say only seven because he could have

44
00:02:16,039 --> 00:02:21,960
certainly played ten twelve years at an incredibly credibly high level.

45
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: But Ryan Ramcheck week in winner for a hell of

46
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:24,520
a career.

47
00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:27,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean one of the you know when you

48
00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:29,599
talk about all the Mickey limus and misses in the

49
00:02:29,719 --> 00:02:33,120
NFL draft whatever, like Ryan Ramchack might be his biggest success,

50
00:02:33,199 --> 00:02:33,360
you know.

51
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,879
Speaker 6: I mean when he drafted him, it.

52
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 3: Was one of those picks that everyone was excited about.

53
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,599
They though he could be good. I don't think people

54
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,000
realize just how good. I mean, this guy might have

55
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,479
been the best right tackle in all the football for

56
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,199
like a four or five year span. I mean, Ryan

57
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,280
Ramchack really really good player. I mean, I know that

58
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,319
everyone's gonna talk about, oh, he only played seven years,

59
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:54,400
but I mean, look when you look at like Saints'

60
00:02:54,439 --> 00:02:57,280
Ring of Honor consideration, like I said, this guy's he's

61
00:02:57,319 --> 00:02:58,800
going to be up there for sure, like he was

62
00:02:58,840 --> 00:02:59,599
that good of a player.

63
00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you there, maybe not enough to

64
00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:05,560
be a Hall of Famer because it did get cut

65
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,520
so short. Now it's been like Toil Davis Hall of

66
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,840
Famer even though his career got cut short. But you know,

67
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,080
TD was kind of doing some stuff that nobody else

68
00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:15,840
was doing. But still Ryan Ramcheck, regardless of where it

69
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,639
ends up, an incredible, incredible career.

70
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: All right, anybody over there, we winner.

71
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 4: My first weekend winner, taitay I put a video in

72
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,439
the doc if you want to pull it up. Former

73
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,360
LSU head coach Will Wade is now going to be

74
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,840
coaching at NC State as we know, right, yeah, yeah,

75
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:36,199
but he's already making a splash in North Carolina. So

76
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,319
he got to sound the siren for Game one of

77
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:43,199
the Stanley Cup Finals between the Devils and the Hurricanes.

78
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:46,360
So the Carolina Hurricanes versus the New Jersey Devils, and

79
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,080
the Hurricanes pull out the wind Ford o versus the Devil,

80
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:52,080
so they lead the series one to zero.

81
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: Now the Devils lose on Easter. Take that, pal, Yeah,

82
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:56,879
I love that.

83
00:03:57,719 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: I guess hold on, I guess you don't need the sound,

84
00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:02,120
but he's just like sounding it.

85
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,039
Speaker 7: It's pretty cool.

86
00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:05,879
Speaker 2: Sounding the horn. Yeah right, yeah, a little hurricane in morning.

87
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, So shout out Will Wade.

88
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: I'll look at our game.

89
00:04:10,039 --> 00:04:14,759
Speaker 7: He's good luck game there. Love that for him.

90
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:15,319
Speaker 1: Yeah.

91
00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:19,639
Speaker 2: I mean, look, he's been you know, a long five

92
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,959
years for Will's had to deal with a lot of

93
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,519
different things and you know, had to go to McNeice

94
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,920
and resurrect his career, which he certainly did.

95
00:04:26,959 --> 00:04:27,639
Speaker 1: And now my.

96
00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: Man is sounding the siren at an NHL playoff game.

97
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: So shout out to our guy, Will Wade. Tete.

98
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:39,519
Speaker 3: Yes, my first Weekend winner is gonna actually be the

99
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:42,720
NBA playoffs. First off, they were really good for the

100
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,879
first weekend, the Saturday Sunday games. But in Minnesota, Timberwolves, like, look,

101
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,879
the Lakers have been playing excellent since getting Luka Doncic.

102
00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:52,759
The Timberwolves have beat him by twenty points. It's one

103
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,759
seventeen to ninety five. And Anthony Edwards only had twenty two.

104
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,800
I mean, he had a fine game, but he wasn't

105
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:04,160
even the leading scorer. Also, nas Reed really good at basketball, guys.

106
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,800
Thirty one minutes, twenty three points, five rebounds. Was the

107
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,920
raining sixth man of the year as far as last

108
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,759
season goes. But really good win for the Timberwolves. I

109
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,800
did not see that coming. They got Game one on

110
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,920
the road, like this is going to be a series.

111
00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 2: You know, Gosh, I hate to go against you, but

112
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,160
and you're right about that, Like that game and you

113
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,680
know the result, And it was surprising. A lot of

114
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,399
people just assumed the Lakers were going to, you know,

115
00:05:30,439 --> 00:05:34,360
go in there and roll. If I'm not mistaken, I'm

116
00:05:34,399 --> 00:05:35,920
gonna call it a little bit of a weekend loser.

117
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,399
And I watched all of it NBA playoffs. I think

118
00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:44,000
there was only one game that was a single digit game.

119
00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was the Nuggets game winning overtime, all.

120
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 2: And that was a great game. It was an incredible game,

121
00:05:49,639 --> 00:05:51,040
and the Nuggets win one to twelve.

122
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: Went in.

123
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,519
Speaker 2: Listen to these scores though, Bucks, Pacers, Pacers win one

124
00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:00,439
seventeen to ninety eight, Nicks, Pistons, Knicks wine three to

125
00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:03,560
one to twelve, t Wills Lakers t Will was win

126
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,680
one seventeen to ninety five. So that's on Saturday. You

127
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:11,160
go to Sunday, all right, So you've got the Celtics Magic.

128
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,800
Celtics win one oh three to eighty six, the Cavs Heat,

129
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:19,879
Cavs win one twenty one to one hundred, Warriors, Rockets,

130
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:24,680
Golden State wins ninety five to eighty five, OKC, and

131
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,800
Memphis one thirty one to eighty. They won in the

132
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,120
playoffs by fifty one points.

133
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: Only one game.

134
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,879
Speaker 2: Was decided by a single digit and that was it

135
00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:37,560
was a great game.

136
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: Nuggets clips.

137
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: But do we have too many playoff teams when we've

138
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,839
got every game outside of one was decided by double digits?

139
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 6: Well, I don't. I don't even like the play in Yeah,

140
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,120
I'm over the play only.

141
00:06:50,959 --> 00:06:53,079
Speaker 3: One time as the ten seed actually made it to

142
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,519
the playoffs like I don't I don't like the play

143
00:06:55,519 --> 00:06:57,680
in if you can't make the top eight seed, which

144
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,600
is already lopsided as you pointed out, Like why the

145
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:02,839
hell are re expanding it to ten? Like there's only

146
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:05,160
thirty teams in the NBA. You're telling me twenty of

147
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,720
them get a shot to make it to the playoffs.

148
00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:08,360
That's way too many. I mean they should cut that

149
00:07:08,399 --> 00:07:08,879
number in half.

150
00:07:09,399 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm the play and I'm over the play like

151
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,240
it was Okay, let's see what this is all about.

152
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,759
And so you know, the Pelicans have been in the

153
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:20,279
play in before, but it's like, yeah, I'm over. I

154
00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:22,519
think the product is just bad. So a weekend loser

155
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,519
for me. NBA playoffs being competitive when only one game

156
00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:29,439
is within a single digit and then you've got a

157
00:07:29,519 --> 00:07:33,560
game with professionals that is decided by fifty one points.

158
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: Miss me with that one. Alandre uh.

159
00:07:36,839 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 7: Yeah.

160
00:07:37,279 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 4: Weeken winners got a few tigers on the National Award

163
00:07:47,079 --> 00:07:50,959
Mylom who shocker, like we said earlier in the season

164
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,920
when people were questioning if he was going to be

165
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:53,959
good at shortstop or not.

166
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 7: He's just good at baseball.

167
00:07:56,199 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 4: He is on the watch list for the Brooks Wallace Award,

168
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,079
which the best short stop in the country. So shout

169
00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:05,759
out to Kate Anderson, Cason Evans, and Steven mylm.

170
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 7: Stephen Mylan one of my favorite Tigers for sure.

171
00:08:09,319 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: That bomb he hit the other n right, I mean

172
00:08:12,279 --> 00:08:16,000
it was a few feet from clearing the entire stadium

173
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,319
in a big moment too, obviously.

174
00:08:17,879 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 4: So Batti three to six, eight doubles, two triples, eight

175
00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:25,240
home runs, thirty nine are beyond the season and has

176
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,959
scored thirty four runs. So Steven Myland very productive at

177
00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:31,279
the plate and really good on the field as well.

178
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:33,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you.

179
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: There a couple of big home runs for the Tigers,

180
00:08:36,639 --> 00:08:39,279
but you know that one watching the game that was

181
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,879
as exciting as any of them. Always comes up clutch, Yeah, always.

182
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:46,879
The numbers aren't the most Gatti, great numbers, you know,

183
00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:48,879
but not the most gotty on the team. But when

184
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:51,600
you need somebody at the plate, I don't think there's

185
00:08:51,639 --> 00:08:53,039
anybody else I would rather.

186
00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:53,759
Speaker 1: Have than Monster.

187
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,039
Speaker 7: Maybe Chris Stanfield.

188
00:08:56,919 --> 00:08:59,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, guys, your nine hole hitter's just been lights out

189
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,120
for sure.

190
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:02,279
Speaker 6: Weekend loser.

191
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,519
Speaker 3: I mentioned this a little bit on Thursday when it

192
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,960
looked like it was going to happen. But since it's

193
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,679
officially official, Nico Yamaliava is going to be a weekend

194
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:11,399
loser for me.

195
00:09:11,879 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 6: He is officially transferred to UCLA.

196
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 3: He was getting two and a half million dollars per

197
00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:21,440
year at Tennessee. After an incredible nineteen touchdowns in twenty

198
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,360
twenty four, he decided he wanted four million per year.

199
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,840
Todays he taught him to walk rightfully. So, and you know,

200
00:09:27,879 --> 00:09:30,440
we had talked about this before. I was I brought up, like,

201
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,919
what are Nico's options as far as elite programs, Well,

202
00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:36,679
he went to UCLA, so he's in a worse program

203
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,799
and a worse offense. He was in a year ago

204
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,840
making one point seventy five million dollars, so he lost

205
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:46,279
almost a million during this whole process. Also, Joey Aguilar

206
00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:49,200
from Appalachian State transferred over there in the spring. Like,

207
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,320
I get it, he's from Happy State, but he had

208
00:09:51,399 --> 00:09:54,120
thirty three touchdown passes last year at Happy State. Like,

209
00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:56,039
there is no guarantee the Nico's going to be the

210
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,879
starting quarterback at UCLA. And after all of this, Nico

211
00:10:00,039 --> 00:10:03,000
comes out and says, are you know his representatives? Who

212
00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:06,159
whoever is advising this guy says, well, you know, it

213
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,600
wasn't really about money. We just didn't like the Tennessee offense. Okay,

214
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,279
a few things wrong there. One, Josh Hipel's offense is

215
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,279
known to be like incredibly quarterback friendly, like McKenzie Milton

216
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:20,919
was in the Heisman Trophy discussions in that Josh Hipel offense. Secondly,

217
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,679
this is one hundred percent about money because you hated

218
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,120
the offense, but for four million dollars a year, you

219
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,639
would have loved the offense and that's ultimately why you left.

220
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,519
Speaker 6: Like, this is one hundred percent about money. That's a lie.

221
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:32,679
Why are you saying that?

222
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 3: All these athletes come out every now and then they

223
00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:36,759
just say something you knows a lie.

224
00:10:36,919 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 6: I'm like, what do you what do you gain him

225
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:38,720
from that?

226
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: Like?

227
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 3: I don't want to take a shot at the guy

228
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,159
because he's great. But Travis Hunter the other day was

229
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,480
asked what would you do if a team told you

230
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,000
you could only play on one side of the ball?

231
00:10:47,039 --> 00:10:48,480
And he goes, I wouldn't play football.

232
00:10:48,639 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 6: That's not true.

233
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: It's not true.

234
00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 3: If the Cleveland Brown's offered Travis Hunder twenty million dollars

235
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,759
a year to only play defense, he's walking away from it,

236
00:10:55,759 --> 00:10:57,840
like that's not true? Why are you saying things like this?

237
00:10:57,919 --> 00:11:00,960
So Nico goes through all of this lies about what

238
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,159
the actual motive was because he lost a million and

239
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,279
a half dollars at a school that doesn't have any

240
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,799
fan support because it's all about usc.

241
00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:11,039
Speaker 6: Isn't a worse conference?

242
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,279
Speaker 3: Isn't a worse offense with a head coach and Deshaun

243
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,320
Foster who we don't know how long he's going to

244
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:21,639
be there quarterback battle with Joey Aguiloor. I mean, nothing

245
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,720
about going to UCLA is better than what he had.

246
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 6: Nothing.

247
00:11:24,639 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 4: Wait, so do we know he's getting four million dollars

248
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:27,799
at UCLA?

249
00:11:27,919 --> 00:11:29,279
Speaker 6: He's getting one point seven five?

250
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,639
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, you learn California?

251
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: Yeah lost? Oh yeah, you're gonnay, you're gonna pay more

252
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,840
than you actually earn in California.

253
00:11:35,879 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 7: Crazy.

254
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he didn't have any of that tax in Tennessee. No,

255
00:11:38,879 --> 00:11:40,639
so now he's got a huge income town.

256
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:40,919
Speaker 1: Yeah.

257
00:11:40,919 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 2: Look, I know I wasn't here, but I was on

258
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,279
other shows talking about he thought he was going to

259
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,759
have eight or nine teams ready to beat down his

260
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,600
door for his services and give him four million. I

261
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,039
even think that he thought in him as camp thought

262
00:11:55,399 --> 00:11:58,600
that once eight or nine teams said we'd give you

263
00:11:58,639 --> 00:12:01,759
four million, it would turn into a bidding war. And

264
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,440
then he opened the door because nobody was beating it down,

265
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,600
and there was nobody there, and U. C.

266
00:12:07,879 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: L A.

267
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 2: Wasn't even really there. Yeah, and they're like sure, yes, like, hey,

268
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,240
we'll give you a have we got this left over,

269
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,080
Like we'll give it to you, like you know, we

270
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,120
think you're probably better than.

271
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: The guy that we got. Yeah, we'll give you that.

272
00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:22,919
Speaker 2: We'll give you the spare change. And then you mentioned

273
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,200
like California's gonna take theirs. Ye trust me when I

274
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,360
say that I have given them a lot of money.

275
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,720
And then well the tax bracket is going to be

276
00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:33,039
into for federal.

277
00:12:32,759 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's what I'm gonna say. Like the cost of

278
00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:37,919
living is like, yeah, taxes, that's a lot of.

279
00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:40,159
Speaker 1: Money, but just three grand a month to live in

280
00:12:40,159 --> 00:12:41,039
a shoe box out.

281
00:12:40,879 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 4: There, right, you probably step outside and spend one thousand

282
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,000
dollars just because you're stepping outside.

283
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 6: He like the damn Josh Ipel offense didn't.

284
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 2: So look, he outplayed his hand like whoever was advising.

285
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 7: Him, because terrible advice.

286
00:12:57,759 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 2: You're going from a playoff team in the SEC that,

287
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,480
regardless of what you think about Tennessee like Neland's going

288
00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:10,960
to be packed every single Saturday. It's a good environment,

289
00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:12,919
it's one of the better ones that I played in,

290
00:13:13,799 --> 00:13:17,399
and you were going to have an opportunity to potentially

291
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,360
get back to the college football playoff. Now, I mean,

292
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,399
this offense is built on running game. That's why the

293
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:24,480
offensive player of the Year in the SEC was the

294
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,799
running back for Tennessee last year. But you still had

295
00:13:27,879 --> 00:13:32,279
multiple opportunities to thrive in that offense, right, I mean

296
00:13:32,399 --> 00:13:34,600
we've seen multiple quarterbacks that played in that system in

297
00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:38,559
the NFL, and so you thought you were going to

298
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,320
be able to I don't even know. I would love

299
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,360
to ask him where did you think your landing spot

300
00:13:44,519 --> 00:13:45,399
was going to be?

301
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 3: Well, he put the no contact clause on him, which

302
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,440
wild thing to do, and that's essentially like I already

303
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,519
know where I'm going to contact me. But he didn't

304
00:13:54,519 --> 00:13:57,080
like Tulane told him no.

305
00:13:57,039 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you and c told him no, which they went to.

306
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:01,759
They got pass on South Alabama.

307
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, and uh, I mean it's it's the wildest thing.

308
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,879
But like there was a report that came out that

309
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,200
him and honestly a couple of other Tennessee players were

310
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,120
considering sitting out the college football play y'all game against

311
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,039
Ohio State because they wanted more money. Like that's another

312
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,799
problem all in its own if you have multiple start

313
00:14:17,919 --> 00:14:18,080
with that.

314
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 4: True.

315
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, now, but like maybe he should have.

316
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,679
Speaker 3: You guys know that he had a forty five percent

317
00:14:23,679 --> 00:14:26,679
completion percentage in that college football playoff game. Hypell probably

318
00:14:26,679 --> 00:14:29,440
wishes he had set out forty five percent completion in

319
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,279
Ohio State won forty two seventeen.

320
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 6: Good job, Nico, Bang up job there, Bud.

321
00:14:34,159 --> 00:14:36,799
Speaker 3: Everybody's gonna be like your two rushing touchdowns, Yeah, thirty

322
00:14:36,799 --> 00:14:40,200
eight yards rushing? Come on now, no touchdown passes, forty

323
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,759
five percent completion. Yeah, let's give that guy four million

324
00:14:42,759 --> 00:14:43,039
a year.

325
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,519
Speaker 1: So I was interviewing, I was interviewing.

326
00:14:46,279 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: He fired up ty League Williams from Ohio State last week,

327
00:14:50,919 --> 00:14:54,080
you know, for the draft. Yeah, and EJ asked him

328
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,759
about the situation, Like when Niko He's like, you know,

329
00:14:57,879 --> 00:14:59,919
like what he as a foreign player, Like what is

330
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,440
like I'll be honest with you, Like when I saw

331
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,679
the report of surprised, and I was like, oh, he's

332
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,759
surprised he goes because he really wasn't that good. I

333
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,639
was like, whoa, And somebody who played against him in

334
00:15:09,639 --> 00:15:11,320
the playoff now it's a bad game for him.

335
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,879
Speaker 1: But he's straight up that that was his rebuttal.

336
00:15:14,559 --> 00:15:17,159
Speaker 2: And so like, Nico's gonna have to do a lot

337
00:15:17,159 --> 00:15:20,120
of work to get his name back where it was

338
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,559
because like before all this, everybody's like, oh, you know, Nico,

339
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,440
you malav are coming back, Like they're gonna be good

340
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:27,039
for Tennessee.

341
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,799
Speaker 7: Man, it's just a really bad love.

342
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: He's gonna be playing in front of fifteen thousand people

343
00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:35,399
in the Rose Bowl a team that's gonna finish towards

344
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,320
the bottom of the Big ten.

345
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: Look, I give them credit.

346
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: I mean they came here last year, they played hard,

347
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,759
they actually had more success than I thought they would.

348
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,639
But they're not a good team. I mean they've got

349
00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:47,080
a lot of issues.

350
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 7: Aside from that, Like the optics are just not great.

351
00:15:49,879 --> 00:15:52,799
Speaker 4: Like if NFL scouts or whatever, like recruiters and stuff

352
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,720
like that are looking at stuff like that, I don't

353
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,120
know if the optics are great that you did all

354
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,759
this and then you go and you make a pay cut,

355
00:16:00,799 --> 00:16:03,480
actually because you couldn't find anybody else.

356
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 7: To pick you up.

357
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,879
Speaker 4: I don't know, it's just the whole situation's really insane.

358
00:16:09,159 --> 00:16:09,799
Speaker 1: And now I'm with you.

359
00:16:09,799 --> 00:16:12,799
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's been surprising everything. Every twist and

360
00:16:12,799 --> 00:16:15,799
every turn's kind of been surprising. And like now we're

361
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,480
you know, is Tennessee going to add a quarterback because

362
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:24,000
they've got a freshman, a red shirt freshman. I mean,

363
00:16:24,159 --> 00:16:26,879
Jaden Rashata is probably the top guy, but Tennessee can't

364
00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:28,720
go after him. They could, but he'd have to sit out,

365
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,679
so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

366
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: Uh. Steve Angelly from Notre Dame, he's in the portal.

367
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,679
I mean, the most that we know about him.

368
00:16:38,519 --> 00:16:42,279
Speaker 2: Is he came in to the bowl game let a touchdown,

369
00:16:42,559 --> 00:16:44,759
I mean against Penn State, and honestly, I was like,

370
00:16:44,799 --> 00:16:46,240
I don't think roder Lionard that was a great throw.

371
00:16:46,279 --> 00:16:47,919
Its like, no, that wasn't right, Leonard. He's actually out.

372
00:16:47,919 --> 00:16:50,960
I'm like, oh, that's maybe that's why. Uh, that's about

373
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:56,720
the best available. Because again, Jaden Rashata ranked two oh

374
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,440
six overall he's from the SEC. He'd have to sit

375
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:04,279
out cham Rogers from cal rank three nineteen. Overall, there's

376
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:08,480
just there's Brendan Sullivan five point forty five overall from Iowa.

377
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:11,559
There's just there's nothing when it comes to quarterback.

378
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: But Tennessee was like, you know.

379
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,839
Speaker 2: What, We'd rather move on than pay him four million

380
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,559
dollars and still have him on the roster. So it

381
00:17:18,559 --> 00:17:20,960
says a lot I think about where that situation was

382
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,680
anymore winners or losers.

383
00:17:25,279 --> 00:17:26,839
Speaker 1: All right, we will step away.

384
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,079

00:20:56,839 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 3: Consider Strawberry Wine by Dina Carter one hit wonder, I

455
00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:00,680

Speaker 6: Great song, great song.

458
00:21:07,599 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 3: I would consider that one wonder. Dina Carter had a

459
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,480
lot of other good songs, but like they weren't it.

460
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,519
Speaker 7: I think Foster People has hits.

Speaker 1: There. I love a good one hit wonder. Anybody seemed

473
00:21:43,079 --> 00:21:44,920
that thing you do the movie?

474
00:21:45,079 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, thats yes, well done, t A all right.

475
00:21:50,279 --> 00:21:52,839
Speaker 1: Te You mentioned off the top of the show.

476
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 2: That there was some worry that a player for L

477
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,960
s U Football was going to enter the transfer portal,

478
00:22:00,279 --> 00:22:02,559
and it is since Ben said that he will not

479
00:22:02,839 --> 00:22:04,000
enter the portal.

480
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Caleb Jackson unsu running back. This was actually something

481
00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:13,839
that I mentioned is a possible portal casualty. But he

482
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,240
said over the weekend. I think this was actually on Friday,

483
00:22:16,319 --> 00:22:18,680
that he was not entering the portal. He was gonna stay,

484
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,319
he was going to compete. Like to me, this is

485
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,559
kind of refreshing in the era of I didn't play

486
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,960
right away, things are going my way, I'm bailing, like

487
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,960
Caleb Jackson wants to be here. Like I just looked

488
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,799
at it in terms of, Okay, if my chance harlem

489
00:22:33,839 --> 00:22:37,039
Berry passes him up in the spring, Cayden Durham had

490
00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:39,519
already passed him up. He's a class lower. Then you

491
00:22:39,559 --> 00:22:42,920
have a freshman in harlem Berry that puts him at third.

492
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:44,079
Speaker 6: Knowing J. T.

493
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 3: Lindsey's going to enroll in the fall like another really

494
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,720
talented player, I just thought, like, okay, depending on how

495
00:22:49,799 --> 00:22:51,799
much around harlem Berry is going to get in the spring,

496
00:22:51,839 --> 00:22:54,079
like Caleb Jackson might see the writing.

497
00:22:53,839 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 6: On the wall.

498
00:22:54,559 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 3: But I mean, if you followed that spring scrimmage, Cayden

499
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,880
Durham didn't practice, should know just precautionary like he you know,

500
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,240
like twead an ankle or something like, it's not nothing major.

501
00:23:04,599 --> 00:23:06,519
Kelb Jackson got a lot of run in that game,

502
00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:08,480
and like that was that was my biggest takeaway because

503
00:23:08,559 --> 00:23:10,440
he was kind of the sole back with that first

504
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,359
team offense. Like, I think that was big because I

505
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,279
think there could be a role for him. But I

506
00:23:15,319 --> 00:23:17,880
appreciate the fact that he's staying here competing because I thought,

507
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,960
you know, just looking at it, Okay, if Barry passes

508
00:23:21,039 --> 00:23:23,039
him up, he got another talented guy coming in all

509
00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:25,759
of a sudden, you're fourth string, so I thought, maybe

510
00:23:25,759 --> 00:23:27,119
there was a chance he's made the move. But he's

511
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:27,720
sticking around.

512
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I am glad that he is sticking around.

513
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,160
He's got work to do, though, I think if we're

514
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,160
being honest with ourselves, he has to still grow as

515
00:23:38,319 --> 00:23:41,599
a running back. We have seen the flashes we saw

516
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,640
against Mississippi State, right where he runs over the guy

517
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,119
on the sideline and it's the ooh, it's ah play.

518
00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:52,160
We've seen him. Gosh, it was our guy with weeks right,

519
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,720
and they put out the social media video in camp

520
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,839
where he catches a swing pass and you know, runs

521
00:23:58,039 --> 00:24:02,880
through a linebacker. Like all of that is great, I

522
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:07,920
think the in between the tackles, you know, feel for

523
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,079
the run game has to continue to go up. And really,

524
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,599
this entire, this entire run game I think has to

525
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,359
play at a different level. Like Cain Durham was great.

526
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,119
It's a true freshman, right, I mean, over seven hundred

527
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,920
yards rushing five point four per carry, had some home

528
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,519
runs where he finished them, and he had some tow issues,

529
00:24:27,559 --> 00:24:29,680
some foot issues at the end of the season, wasn't

530
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,319
able to finish some of those runs that we think

531
00:24:32,319 --> 00:24:34,680
he is going to be able to this year. Track guy,

532
00:24:34,759 --> 00:24:39,319
track speed. Cain Durham's your RB one, no question about it.

533
00:24:39,799 --> 00:24:42,440
But they need Caleb Jackson or one of the freshmen

534
00:24:42,519 --> 00:24:46,559
two step up. Caleb Jackson last year average three point

535
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,160
four yards per carry, and there was a lot of

536
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,039
times where it felt like and look, this happens to

537
00:24:52,079 --> 00:24:53,920
a lot of young running backs. Where he was getting

538
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,279
the football, putting his head down, not reading the play,

539
00:24:57,599 --> 00:24:59,960
not allowing it to develop, hitting the line of scream

540
00:25:00,039 --> 00:25:03,400
it's too fast, all of those situations. Your hope is

541
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,920
that he has continued to develop, continue to grow because

542
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,480
they need that to go up. You no longer have

543
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:15,000
the old savvy vet, mister trustworthy Josh Williams, you don't

544
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,079
have that anymore. That is not a luxury that you have.

545
00:25:18,319 --> 00:25:21,440
And you can argue with me all you want. I know,

546
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,119
there's plenty of people that have done it in the past.

547
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,720
In the chat, Josh Williams a valuable football player because

548
00:25:28,759 --> 00:25:31,400
you knew exactly what you were getting as soon as

549
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,640
you put him in the game. Was the ceiling as

550
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,519
high as Cayden Durham or Caleb Jackson? No, probably not,

551
00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:40,240
but the floor was incredibly high because you knew he

552
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,880
was going to be consistent. Go back and watch any

553
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,039
big play. Over the last couple of years, Josh Williams

554
00:25:47,079 --> 00:25:49,359
was in the backfield because they knew they could count

555
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,119
on him. You don't have that this year, and we

556
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,880
hadn't talked about it a lot. That's big, like even

557
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,720
a little surprised that maybe a veteran running back isn't

558
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,960
coming in through the portal. And maybe it's because they,

559
00:26:03,319 --> 00:26:05,640
you know, were able to keep Caleb Jackson out of

560
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,920
the portal and they're counting on him to be kind

561
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,920
of an older presence, says this is now his third year.

562
00:26:11,799 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: But they need that to go way up.

563
00:26:13,759 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 2: They have got to get more production from a secondary

564
00:26:16,759 --> 00:26:18,880
running back now that Josh Williams going. Josh Williams had

565
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,480
one hundred and seventeen carries a year ago. He was

566
00:26:21,559 --> 00:26:24,079
over four yards per carrey. He was tied for the

567
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:28,400
team lead with six rushing touchdowns. He also, I mean

568
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:33,799
what he caught thirty one passes a year ago. Thirty one, Okay,

569
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,759
Caden Durham called twenty eight. Caleb Jackson only caught six.

570
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,599
So it is great that he is coming back again.

571
00:26:40,839 --> 00:26:42,759
You hope that he developed. I mean, he's got all

572
00:26:42,799 --> 00:26:46,359
the physical traits as far as being you know, athletic

573
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,880
and strong and fast and all all these things. I mean,

574
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,839
he looks the part, but they need the running IQ

575
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,839
to go up a little bit there to be able

576
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,359
to read the plays as they develop. And there's a

577
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,680
reason why, like your most athletic guy doesn't always go

578
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,720
play running back, right. It is a fuel position. You

579
00:27:04,759 --> 00:27:06,319
have to be able to fill it out. You have

580
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,079
to be able to read it. Not getting to the

581
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,319
line of scrimmage as fast as you can. That doesn't happen.

582
00:27:10,599 --> 00:27:12,799
And a lot of times young running backs and myself

583
00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:14,839
included that's what we do because we're like, we don't

584
00:27:14,839 --> 00:27:15,519
want to be behind.

585
00:27:15,559 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: We got to get there. You gotta let the play develop.

586
00:27:18,839 --> 00:27:22,519
Speaker 2: Certainly when you run as much outside zone and kind

587
00:27:22,519 --> 00:27:25,000
of different zone schemes as LSU is going to run

588
00:27:25,039 --> 00:27:27,599
like gap scheme, not to get too deep into the weeds.

589
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,000
Gap scheme is going to hit a little bit quicker power,

590
00:27:30,079 --> 00:27:32,880
hit that a gap counterar hit that b gap right

591
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,039
and after you have your shuffle steps on a counter,

592
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:39,680
then you go downhill. LSU's going to use more slow

593
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,880
developing runs. Maybe they know integrate themselves into a little

594
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,240
bit more gap scheme.

595
00:27:45,319 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: They certainly try to a year ago. So that's something

596
00:27:47,759 --> 00:27:48,519
to pay attention to.

597
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,759
Speaker 2: But it feels like a very important position and they

598
00:27:51,839 --> 00:27:55,039
need Haleb Jackson to step up and be that veteran

599
00:27:55,079 --> 00:27:58,119
presence at the running back because you're talking about a

600
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,359
true sophomore two freshman. He is the oldest guy in

601
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,640
the room and you're trying to replicate the production that

602
00:28:05,759 --> 00:28:08,799
Josh Williams, who was a six year guy gave you

603
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,039
at that position. So good news for the Tigers, but

604
00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:14,240
still more work to be done at that position, trying

605
00:28:14,279 --> 00:28:17,200
to fill that void that Josh Williams leaves. All right,

606
00:28:17,519 --> 00:28:20,240
we will step away here and when we come back,

607
00:28:20,279 --> 00:28:22,200
we are going to catch up with the voice of

608
00:28:22,279 --> 00:28:25,039
the LSU Tigers, Chris Blair, right here on O TV.

609
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:26,839
Speaker 1: Off the bench.

610
00:28:29,759 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 2: All right, we are very excited to have do Sequies

611
00:28:32,079 --> 00:28:35,160
on the team. Over the last couple of fridays, we've

612
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,319
certainly enjoyed some do sequis here in studio, but not

613
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,240
the only time that we have enjoyed them at the beach.

614
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,359
Let me tell you, there might not be a better

615
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:50,000
place to enjoy a cold de sekis gosh, at a ballgame,

616
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,079
at a restaurant. I mean, there's not a bad time.

617
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,880
I mean, it hits everywhere that you go. Look, I'm

618
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,720
sure our boy t Bob has enjoyed some dosequis on

619
00:28:58,799 --> 00:29:01,559
his trip. Whatever he gets back, we'll ask him about

620
00:29:01,559 --> 00:29:04,559
how those dosequies were, but I'm sure that he has

621
00:29:05,319 --> 00:29:08,559
enjoyed them. I mean, the spring is here, as we

622
00:29:08,599 --> 00:29:12,240
always say, the bats are hot, the weather's heating up,

623
00:29:12,279 --> 00:29:15,920
and there is nothing better than sitting back and enjoying

624
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,920
a cold dose sequies. I mean, look toa's in the

625
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,920
sand hard to beat. But even if you're grilling and chilling.

626
00:29:21,119 --> 00:29:24,160
There is no better way to enjoy than pop open

627
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,920
a cold dose. Sequis proud to have them on the

628
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,759
squad here on OTV back.

629
00:29:28,599 --> 00:29:31,839
Speaker 3: From the break where the sports talk gets real kind

630
00:29:31,839 --> 00:29:34,480
of off the bench and with the Hester and t Bob.

631
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back here and OTV one O four

632
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:46,400
to five, ESPN Beton Rouge, our pleasure to walkme on

633
00:29:46,519 --> 00:29:49,440
to the show. The voice of your LSU Fighting Tiger's

634
00:29:49,519 --> 00:29:51,839
Chris Blair CB, glad.

635
00:29:51,599 --> 00:29:52,759
Speaker 1: To have you on the show.

636
00:29:53,119 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 2: Today's music theme and I know your big music guy

637
00:29:56,119 --> 00:29:57,480
is one hit wonders.

638
00:29:57,559 --> 00:29:59,839
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite one hit wonder?

639
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 5: Wow? Favorite? Oh gosh, you know I this this is

640
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,279
going to date me big time. But yeah, it's probably

641
00:30:09,359 --> 00:30:12,400
a video killed the radio stuff you go, that may

642
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,599
be the biggest one hit wonder of the eighties.

643
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,799
Speaker 2: Look, I mean I definitely know the reference. I'm in

644
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,440
my Mike Gundy year. I'm like only a couple of

645
00:30:20,519 --> 00:30:23,119
weeks away from forty and so I'm with you, CB,

646
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:23,680
I got you.

647
00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:26,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I'll go with that. But yeah, there's

648
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,640
a bunch of good ones out there.

649
00:30:30,079 --> 00:30:30,559
Speaker 1: All right.

650
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,839
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk a little LSU baseball. So I was

651
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,839
out all of last week and so you know, fortunately

652
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,839
I didn't have to recap the sweep there on the planes.

653
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,079
But you know, you get back home, you take two

654
00:30:43,079 --> 00:30:47,240
of three from Alabama. That series had some big moments,

655
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,359
some moments where you had to come up clutch, and

656
00:30:49,519 --> 00:30:52,079
LSU was able to get those, like even in the

657
00:30:52,119 --> 00:30:55,640
game on Saturday, like it. You know, they didn't stop

658
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,559
fighting and they had multiple opportunities there. It felt like

659
00:30:58,599 --> 00:31:00,279
they were even going to do something there in the

660
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,480
ninth But all series long, you're able to win two

661
00:31:03,519 --> 00:31:05,799
of three at home. I know you got swept and

662
00:31:05,839 --> 00:31:07,680
I know you wanted to go for a sweep here,

663
00:31:08,039 --> 00:31:10,920
but still Cebia did feel like LSU bounced back in

664
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,119
a big way against Alabama.

665
00:31:13,279 --> 00:31:16,079
Speaker 5: No, there's no question about it. I mean, just offensively alone.

666
00:31:16,119 --> 00:31:17,960
I mean I think you know, we talked about it,

667
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,799
everybody's talked about it. You look back at that Auburn series,

668
00:31:20,839 --> 00:31:24,559
I mean, it really wasn't a pitching issue as much

669
00:31:24,599 --> 00:31:26,920
as it was an offensive issue. I mean, just some

670
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,359
numbers that you just hadn't seen. And while I still

671
00:31:30,359 --> 00:31:33,640
think runners in scoring position coming off this weekend, you know,

672
00:31:33,799 --> 00:31:37,200
certainly that's not the number they want they were able

673
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,160
to get enough offense produced, you know, even after trailing,

674
00:31:41,559 --> 00:31:44,480
you know, in all three games, just unable to get

675
00:31:44,599 --> 00:31:47,200
enough or get over the hump there in the third

676
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,000
game of the series.

677
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 2: Now, something we talked about in linked here on the

678
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,119
show was in game number three, you decided to go

679
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,839
in a different direction at starting pitcher. And it, like

680
00:31:58,039 --> 00:32:00,680
LSU has shown, like Case and Evans and Zach Cowen,

681
00:32:00,759 --> 00:32:03,519
they are so valuable in the role that they have,

682
00:32:03,599 --> 00:32:05,039
and when they come in, it's kind of like, hey,

683
00:32:05,039 --> 00:32:07,400
we're closing the door on the game. Case and Evans

684
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,440
even comes into the game with you trailing, it doesn't

685
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,799
feel like they are going to move into that role

686
00:32:12,839 --> 00:32:15,119
to be the number three starter because Jay knows he

687
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,079
can count on them.

688
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: Do you expect you know, more movement?

689
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 2: I guess CB they're in game number three, Like, is

690
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,240
it a situation where maybe becomes a Johnny Whole staff

691
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,319
where you're like, hey, whatever, Arm's going the best going

692
00:32:28,359 --> 00:32:29,160
into that day?

693
00:32:30,519 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think that's I mean, I don't

694
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,680
think anything solidified. I mean I'll certainly say that, and

695
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,880
you know, to be honest with you, I wasn't really

696
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,039
sure that things were solidified you know, coming off the

697
00:32:41,119 --> 00:32:45,759
last couple of weeks, just because you I think astutely

698
00:32:45,759 --> 00:32:48,680
put the way I think the situation is with both

699
00:32:48,759 --> 00:32:51,880
Cowen and Evans. I mean, do they have the ability absolutely.

700
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,319
I mean, you know, everybody could simply look at what

701
00:32:55,359 --> 00:32:58,759
they've been able to do, you know, all season, certainly

702
00:32:58,839 --> 00:33:02,160
even against the SCC, so they would be the first

703
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,519
people you would think you move up. But then then

704
00:33:04,559 --> 00:33:08,240
you really have to start asking yourself. You know, unless

705
00:33:08,279 --> 00:33:12,559
you get you know, three complete game any of you know, performances,

706
00:33:12,599 --> 00:33:14,720
you're still gonna have to find somebody out of the bullpen.

707
00:33:14,759 --> 00:33:17,799
And if you're taking Zach in casing out at the moment,

708
00:33:18,759 --> 00:33:21,960
you know, I think I think that's the the fine

709
00:33:22,039 --> 00:33:24,680
line that this coaching staff is having to, you know,

710
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:29,000
go through Jacob by matchup to matchup each week that

711
00:33:29,119 --> 00:33:32,440
comes the team they're playing, how they think they'll you know,

712
00:33:32,519 --> 00:33:35,400
certain arms do against certain hitters. So but I think

713
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:36,839
that's still going to be up for debate.

714
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:38,079
Speaker 1: Well.

715
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 2: Also another part of it is if they kind of

716
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,279
give you what they've been giving you all year long,

717
00:33:44,319 --> 00:33:46,920
which is you're kind of using four pitchers basically in

718
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,680
the first two games, and then if you do have

719
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,279
a situation, Chris, where on game number three on Sunday,

720
00:33:53,319 --> 00:33:56,200
if you have to go in your full bag, right,

721
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,960
you got to go deep into the bullpen. Will you

722
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,960
at least had the luxury because it's been consistent, you're

723
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,839
gonna have two guys on Friday night, You're gonna have

724
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,160
two guys pretty much on Saturday night, and then you'll

725
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,440
have everybody else available.

726
00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:11,519
Speaker 5: No, I mean, that's that's certainly the path that you

727
00:34:11,519 --> 00:34:13,519
would love to be able to take. I just think

728
00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:16,639
right now there, you know, I look back at the

729
00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:19,360
Auburn series and you know, I'm sure everybody felt the

730
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,599
same way that you know, at least some of the

731
00:34:21,639 --> 00:34:23,599
guys you hadn't seen a lot of on the mound,

732
00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:28,000
especially in SEC play, really performed well, gave the offensive

733
00:34:28,079 --> 00:34:31,840
chance really in all but maybe that final game, you know,

734
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:37,280
a puncher's chance. So and then I thought during the midweek,

735
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,360
albeit not against SEC competition, that you also saw some

736
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,679
good outing. So you know, I don't know what you

737
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,239
take away from from game three on Saturday from this weekend,

738
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,840
because you know, outside of I think DJ Primo, it

739
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,760
wasn't the best outing. So are you at a point

740
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,760
yet where I mean, I just think you're at a

741
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,760
situation where as Jay has said for many years, you've

742
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,760
got to start to find you know, not just your rotation, Jacob,

743
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,079
but you got to be able to find all right,

744
00:35:07,159 --> 00:35:10,280
this is the starting crew, this is the early relief

745
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,039
if need be, this is the middle relief, and this

746
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,519
is this is a back end of our bullpen. And frankly,

747
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,039
I think it's pretty obvious that they're still trying to

748
00:35:19,079 --> 00:35:19,440
find that.

749
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple of things in the lineup that look different.

750
00:35:23,119 --> 00:35:26,280
Speaker 2: Game number three, Daniel Digginson actually led the game off

751
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,159
and still kind of toying with moving a couple of

752
00:35:29,199 --> 00:35:32,239
different pieces in the three spot. I think, you know,

753
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,000
Barr Jones moves back to the cleanup spot where bulk

754
00:35:35,039 --> 00:35:38,159
of the year he's actually hit second in your lineup.

755
00:35:38,199 --> 00:35:40,480
It still feels like maybe trying to mix it up

756
00:35:40,519 --> 00:35:42,880
there at the top. And look, we know, I mean,

757
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,239
Jay loves one thing like he loves to move parts around,

758
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,360
Like he doesn't say stagnant there. Do you think Daniel

759
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,880
Diginson leading off is something we could see maybe in

760
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,079
the future as we get ready for the Tennessee series.

761
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I do just simply because I mean,

762
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,679
when I think about consistency, obviously, I think I mean,

763
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,360
I mean, you can't argue with the kid that's you know,

764
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,039
reach based at least once every game of his career

765
00:36:06,079 --> 00:36:08,559
and his freshman season. But I think those two could

766
00:36:08,599 --> 00:36:10,480
be interchangeable. I mean, I think they both have a

767
00:36:10,559 --> 00:36:13,920
knack for being able to get a board. I think

768
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,760
Dickinson is really probably underrated offensively, but most of that

769
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,079
is because we were so thrilled that, you know, he

770
00:36:21,159 --> 00:36:23,840
and Mylom have been so solid, you know, defensively for

771
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,280
this team. And I think LSU is still trying to

772
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,519
kind of find out what's the best scenario. And this

773
00:36:30,559 --> 00:36:33,079
is gonna sound strange, Jacob, I know, but you know,

774
00:36:33,199 --> 00:36:35,960
last year it felt like there was nobody that really

775
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,920
could protect Tommy White and that was gonna be your

776
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,400
big bopper and you needed to get him up to

777
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,480
the plate virtually every second inning. And where I think

778
00:36:46,519 --> 00:36:48,039
this year, I think they're trying to find out who

779
00:36:48,039 --> 00:36:50,440
needs to protect who. I mean, you had the kind

780
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,639
of the emergence of Ethan Fry and then suddenly you

781
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,199
start to see him as the d H move you know,

782
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,039
higher up the order. Next thing, you know, he's kind

783
00:36:58,039 --> 00:36:59,960
of in there to protect Jared in the three spo

784
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,760
and then again you go through the weekend. It was

785
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,599
at Auburn and and then you kind of shuffle, and

786
00:37:06,639 --> 00:37:09,239
I think you saw that in the midweek, and you

787
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,440
saw it in all three games. There were some slight tweaks.

788
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,639
We still kind of saw the same platooning of the

789
00:37:14,679 --> 00:37:16,800
same players, but up there at top of the order.

790
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,760
You're exactly right. I don't think they're I don't think

791
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:24,480
they're completely you know, solidified yet. And as you said,

792
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,280
sometimes that that won't even matter. In game six of

793
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,480
your World series Visits.

794
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,199
Speaker 2: Guts up with the voice out of the LSU Tigers

795
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:38,679
Chris player here on OTB Big Series. Obviously this weekend, Uh,

796
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,519
you've seen the Box at its peak.

797
00:37:40,559 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: I've seen the Box at its peak.

798
00:37:42,199 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 2: It might rival that, Like whatever the peak is, it

799
00:37:45,519 --> 00:37:50,280
might rival that this weekend. Tennessee LSU fans, obviously, they've

800
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,639
seen their rise over the last couple of years. You've

801
00:37:52,639 --> 00:37:56,039
had a couple of battles with them. This is going

802
00:37:56,119 --> 00:37:59,360
to be one of those Friday Saturday Sunday series. Certainly

803
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,960
Friday Night it is going to be electric inside the

804
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,239
box and it's going to be hard to keep all

805
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,480
that energy contained. And it's like, okay, you know whoever

806
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,960
stays composed here, but it is going to be a

807
00:38:11,119 --> 00:38:13,119
lively series coming up this Friday.

808
00:38:13,599 --> 00:38:15,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think it's quickly becoming from a

809
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,559
national standpoint. Jacob Younoviz, college baseball continues to grow. I mean,

810
00:38:20,599 --> 00:38:24,679
I think over the last three four seasons, now I

811
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:29,039
think this LSU Tennessee matchup from a college baseball perspective,

812
00:38:29,119 --> 00:38:31,599
is becoming one of the biggest matchups. And yes, I

813
00:38:31,599 --> 00:38:34,599
think everybody, including myself, when the schedule was released, like

814
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,440
immediately started skimming down and your finger is going to

815
00:38:38,519 --> 00:38:42,280
stop right there at Tennessee at the box. So it's

816
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,519
going to be interesting. You know, this past weekend, you'd

817
00:38:45,519 --> 00:38:48,400
love to get the sweep, as you said, you do

818
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,519
get the fourth series win in league play, so all

819
00:38:52,679 --> 00:38:55,280
is good, and you know, you get some separation from

820
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:59,960
Georgia because Vanderbilt, I think, surprises everybody with Georgia kind

821
00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:04,079
of stumbling suddenly. Now Vanderbilt's right there nipping at your heels.

822
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,360
You saw Kentucky take two out of three from a

823
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:13,239
Tennessee team in Knoxville, so you know again, both teams

824
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,400
will have a midweek game, then both teams will show

825
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,599
up be ready to go on Friday. But it's interesting

826
00:39:18,679 --> 00:39:21,960
because I think every weekend, whoever you think, you know,

827
00:39:22,199 --> 00:39:26,000
outside of maybe Texas that's well on their way, suddenly

828
00:39:26,039 --> 00:39:28,000
they take a tough weekend and now you've got to

829
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,199
look at what the motivation is. Do I think Tennessee

830
00:39:30,199 --> 00:39:33,679
will be motivated. Of course, it's LSU. They know what

831
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,559
they're coming into and also they're coming off a series

832
00:39:37,639 --> 00:39:39,320
loss to a team that I'm sure they felt like

833
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:40,239
they should have swept.

834
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,159
Speaker 1: Can I wait for the series?

835
00:39:43,559 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, you know I'm going to be in Green Bay,

836
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,719
Wisconsin covering the draft. Like I certainly would want to

837
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,039
be inside the box this weekend, happy to cover the draft.

838
00:39:53,039 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: But man, this is a series.

839
00:39:54,039 --> 00:39:55,679
Speaker 2: Like you said, as soon as the schedule comes out,

840
00:39:55,679 --> 00:39:58,239
you're trying to find out where Tennessee is. But I

841
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,519
will be ear hustling the called there CB and Dougie

842
00:40:01,599 --> 00:40:02,440
the best to do it.

843
00:40:02,599 --> 00:40:05,159
Speaker 1: So looking forward to the call. CEB. Always appreciate your time.

844
00:40:05,199 --> 00:40:06,199
Thanks for hopping on with us.

845
00:40:06,599 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 5: Man, I tell you what, it's good to have those

846
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:09,639
first world problems, huh.

847
00:40:09,679 --> 00:40:13,119
Speaker 2: I'll tell you, Yeah, somebody's got to do it.

848
00:40:13,199 --> 00:40:14,280
Speaker 1: Somebody's got to do it.

849
00:40:14,559 --> 00:40:16,039
Speaker 5: Have a great week, all right.

850
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:16,599
Speaker 1: You as well?

851
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,599
Speaker 2: There is Chris Blair, the voice of the LSU Tigers.

852
00:40:19,599 --> 00:40:21,719
Like I will, I mean, on on Friday night. I

853
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,599
promise you I will have some way of listening during

854
00:40:25,639 --> 00:40:28,400
the breaks to the call looking forward to that series.

855
00:40:29,159 --> 00:40:31,440
I just knew, like as soon as the schedule came out,

856
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,960
I'm like, that's the NFL Draft time, isn't it? Because

857
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:38,039
I would be at all three games. I'm assuming that, Landra,

858
00:40:38,079 --> 00:40:39,400
You're gonna find a way to be in the box.

859
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 7: I'm going to find a way to be there Saturday

860
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:41,920
and Sunday for sure.

861
00:40:42,679 --> 00:40:43,599
Speaker 1: What you got Friday?

862
00:40:43,639 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 7: Cody Johnson?

863
00:40:45,119 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: Oh so Cody Johnson over the Tigers. If those textas

864
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,400
you wouldn't go there's the other ut.

865
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:52,599
Speaker 7: That's not true, that's not true at all.

866
00:40:52,639 --> 00:40:56,599
Speaker 2: You're right, all right, we will step away wrap up

never run out of hot water. So you get home late,

You got a shower, you got laundry, you got dishes.

885
00:41:56,159 --> 00:41:58,519
That is okay because you are not going to run

886
00:41:58,559 --> 00:41:59,760
out with that tankless water heater.

888
00:42:03,119 --> 00:42:06,199
Speaker 2: Welcome in to the best morning sports this show around

889
00:42:06,559 --> 00:42:11,079
Off the Bench with Hester and t Bob. I did

890
00:42:11,199 --> 00:42:15,960
forget about this wonder Welcome back in OTB here on

891
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,079
a Monday morning, just got up with the voice of

892
00:42:19,119 --> 00:42:23,039
the LSU Tigers, Chris Blair, starting to preview the Tennessee

893
00:42:23,119 --> 00:42:25,760
baseball series coming up this weekend.

894
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,280
Speaker 1: And again I've been in that stadium.

895
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,559
Speaker 2: Y'all have been in that stadium, our listeners have been

896
00:42:30,599 --> 00:42:33,679
in that stadium when it's been absolutely electric.

897
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 1: I mean more times than not it is.

898
00:42:38,039 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 2: But I still think, like whatever your peak experience is

899
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,599
for regular season baseball right now, A regional, a super regional,

900
00:42:46,639 --> 00:42:50,840
that's a little bit different, but regular season baseball, I

901
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,320
have to imagine this is going to match that. I mean,

902
00:42:54,559 --> 00:42:57,920
LSU fans don't like Tennessee. Tennessee fans don't like LSU.

903
00:42:58,039 --> 00:43:00,719
You're kind of fighting back and forth. Is kind of

904
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,519
the new kid on the block. You've certainly been there,

905
00:43:03,639 --> 00:43:06,440
done that before. You just won a national championship as well,

906
00:43:06,559 --> 00:43:09,199
last couple of national championship winners.

907
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,519
Speaker 1: I am expecting it to be at its absolute peak.

908
00:43:13,199 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 4: I think the most that I've experienced it at his

909
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:21,360
peak is like like you said, postseason baseball, so super regionals,

910
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,800
it's electric in there. So I think that this will

911
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,000
be it'll match that, if not be more, because this

912
00:43:27,039 --> 00:43:29,920
is like a very it has potential to be a

913
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,840
great rivalry if it's not already, Because like you said,

914
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:38,840
LSU baseball has like the history, right, they have the

915
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,559
history of being a great baseball program and there's still

916
00:43:41,599 --> 00:43:45,559
that today. Yeah, Tennessee Baseball is starting to solidify themselves

917
00:43:45,559 --> 00:43:48,079
a little bit because since Tony Vytella took over, they

918
00:43:48,119 --> 00:43:51,559
have been a really good program. So I'm excited for

919
00:43:51,599 --> 00:43:53,519
this series. I think the Box is going to be rocking.

920
00:43:53,599 --> 00:43:56,360
I can't think of like a regular season game at

921
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,920
the Box that I've been to that will have as

922
00:43:58,960 --> 00:43:59,960
much hype as this one.

923
00:44:01,679 --> 00:44:02,159
Speaker 1: T TA.

924
00:44:05,639 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 3: Was did you play? Did you play? Arkansas? Was it

925
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,039
when Skens and Hagen Smith were against each other? Was

926
00:44:10,039 --> 00:44:11,599
that in Fayetteville or was that here?

927
00:44:12,079 --> 00:44:13,159
Speaker 7: I feel like I remember being.

928
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,599
Speaker 3: I think that's the only single game I can think

929
00:44:16,639 --> 00:44:18,599
of as far as series to go. No, I mean,

930
00:44:18,639 --> 00:44:23,199
DEFINDI National champions everyone's favorite baseball coach Tony Fatello comes

931
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:28,360
back in like, uh I lost you Baseball, like you're

932
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:32,679
not rivals with Tennessee. Was kind that would be the

933
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,760
game that would be the only one, but not even

934
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:38,079
the whole series. Like that game Paul Skens versus Hagen

935
00:44:38,119 --> 00:44:39,960
Smith might be the only thing I can think of

936
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,159
where it's like this almost feels like a professional baseball game.

937
00:44:44,199 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because Hagen Okay, I'm looking at the box

938
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:52,119
score now, so Hagen Smith came in. Yeah yeah, because

939
00:44:52,119 --> 00:44:54,079
he didn't start the game, but he came in four

940
00:44:54,079 --> 00:44:57,239
and two thirds innings, gives up three earned runs, strikes

941
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,880
out eight. Paul Skens goes seven, only gives up two hits,

942
00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:03,599
one earned run, strikes out twelve. But you lost the

943
00:45:03,679 --> 00:45:09,480
game nine to three in ten innings. Yeah, kind of

944
00:45:09,519 --> 00:45:12,400
hard to do, but so Schemes gives you what I

945
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,880
just laid out there. Chase Shores actually comes into the game,

946
00:45:16,119 --> 00:45:19,039
pitches two innings, gives up one hit, one earned strikes

947
00:45:19,039 --> 00:45:22,639
out three. Christian Little got touched up, only goes a

948
00:45:22,679 --> 00:45:25,039
third of an inning, gives up four earned runs. Will

949
00:45:25,119 --> 00:45:27,440
Helmer's comes in. He gives up three earned runs and

950
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,679
two thirds and you lose that game.

951
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: It's tough to do. And then you came back.

952
00:45:33,079 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 2: Remember you run ruled them twelve to two, and then

953
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:37,599
you win again.

954
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: So nice series.

955
00:45:39,079 --> 00:45:41,639
Speaker 2: There gonna be a big series here against Tennessee more

956
00:45:41,679 --> 00:45:42,519
OTB coming your way.

957
00:45:42,519 --> 00:45:44,679
Speaker 1: Our number three off the bench,
