Speaker 1: All start to you want to present some off the
bench with Jacob Hester and T bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Off the bench with Jacob Hester and T bob Abert.
Speaker 3: Come off the pitch.
Speaker 1: Now here's Jacob Hester and T bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Welcome in otv our number two and every single Thursday
at eight am. We are so lucky the coach bet
Tarina makes time for us out of her very busy schedule.
As the incredible SEC grind continues. This week in LSU softball,
heading to Athens, Georgia had to take on the thirteenth
ranked Bulldogs. As we said earlier, you might as well
get used to seeing a number next to the opponent
every single time this year. With how incredible this conference is.
Coach Trina, what's going on? How we feel in hearing
this Thursday?
Speaker 4: Man, I'd be feeling matter if I had some girls
cut cookies.
Speaker 2: Thank you? Okay, well I did have a daughter, coach,
I know where were you? Huh? Poor little Alice. She
was crying to me a couple of nights ago, saying
I wish coach Terina would have bought tagalogs. I said,
I know, honey, try to not let it devastate you
and I couldn't stop her for crying for two hours.
Speaker 5: Coach, you don't believe that, because if you do, you know,
purchase them from who he said you need to purchase
them from, You're still not going.
Speaker 3: To get them.
Speaker 2: Relax. A lot of people are still getting their cookies.
I have so many stupid cookie boxes at my house
right now. Anyway, Tory Edwards, she deserves Girl Scout cookies. Okay,
how about that after the week that Tory Edwards just
had SEC Freshman of the Week, uh hit four sixty
two last week and four games nine Ribby's. She's fourth
in the country. Of Ribby's, she's top four of the
SEC with eleven home runs. Already slug it out of control?
H coach, are you are you at all surprised by
what you're seeing the freshman do this year?
Speaker 4: I think you're always a little surprised when it's a freshman.
But if you were around her in practice and you
saw the balls she hits, like off the building and
over the berms, then you wouldn't be a surprise. She's
an incredible ask. She's super intelligent about how she goes
about her work and had a big week this week,
Freshman of the Week named on her birthday.
Speaker 2: What a we her birthday. I didn't even know that
Happy birthday toy. Hell yeah, that's got to feel great.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought, I'll be honest with you, guys, I
thought we could have swept the awards this week. I
thought Macy Bajaran could have earned the Hitter of the
Week with her incredible three home weekend. I thought sid
Berzarm got all three wins. This is the second time
she's gotten all three wins and not got an sec
Picture of the Week in her career. By the way,
but I'm not bitter.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, talk to your ish coach, stump for your
stump for your team, and I mean, and that's I mean.
You mentioned all these games, and I've mentioned Dana Kakaffee,
who was batting five forty one and maybe like the
best softball player in the entire country.
Speaker 4: Well, I hope she is, because she deserves every bit
of that. She's been working so hard and just does
a lot of things and all the things the right way.
So she's an incredible softball player, and she's been the
signess leader for our team.
Speaker 2: Coach.
Speaker 5: One of the things that we you know, we talk
about the pitching, we talk about the home runs and
the lineup, but one of the things that we haven't
really got into with you yet is your team is
top ten in the country in fielding percentage as well.
Was that something that coming into the season you felt
like was going to be part of what made y'all
who y'all are To this point, I.
Speaker 4: Really had a lot of question marks in the defense.
You know, I wasn't exactly sure who we would be.
You know, our main stays right, and two of our
main positions are transfers with Avery Hodge and Dala Lassiter,
so I think you don't know exactly what you're going
to get from them. We had had a first hand look,
unfortunately at Jala Lassiter plan at all miss against us. Yeah,
let's do's on our team. I still had like PTSD
calling pitches against her and scrimmages this spring, you know,
so every time she gets a hit, I'm glad it's
in purple and gold. But I think there were a
lot of question marks. But they've really just lived up
to all the hype and they've just done their jobs
so so well well.
Speaker 2: And and you mentioned a hype coach, and it's getting
harder and harder to ignore the hype around this LSU
softball team. And guys, as always, if you've never known
the Tiger Park, it is one of the best vibes
in the entire city. On the road this week, we
go and look at the schedule, plan a trip to
the burm. You the family, You're gonna have a great
time and you're gonna watch a great team. I mean,
as I said, moving up to number three in one poll,
four in another, what how do you keep your team?
What's the process to keeping your team focused and not
starting maybe to uh to to read their their own clippings.
Speaker 4: Were you in the dugout yesterday?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, So this is something of on
topic here. This is something that you all discussed recently.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, I think the challenge is just to
like keep them working the way they've worked, like a
chip on their shoulder mentality, trying to prove themselves. I
think like that's kind of the way they have to work,
the way they worked in the early part of this season.
As they move forward, you know, they've had some moments
where it's been a little bit easy for them, right
but like they have to understand that what's in front
of them is going to be really really hard, I
mean incredibly hard. Like every game we have left, for
the most part is in the quad one like one
through twenty five RPI, right, So I mean it's just
incredible what we have left. So I think just them
continuing to work the way they've worked is going to
be a huge key to moving forward in this deal.
Speaker 5: Coach, you mentioned maybe not knowing what you were going
to get with the defense because you had transfers in
different things. But what maybe was the one thing you
didn't know that this team was going to be so
good at Because you look at the top stats at
Nancy DOUBLEA and earn e an average and batting average
and fielding percentage, I mean you're at the top ten
and really top five in a lot of those categories.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think there's some things that stand out,
like that outfield plays an incredible Jaydon Leno is an
incredible outfielder, just covers so much ground. She's so tall,
you don't even realize how much ground she covers. Sara
Daniels been locked down at second Tory Edwards is done
a nice job at first, And I think probably the
number that we like the best is just scoring, right,
That's what Bryce and Sandra Zach they put a ton
of emphasis on, not hitting, not batting averages, not any
of the things, just scoring runs, like that's what wins
ball games. So it's more of a team offensive concept.
So the number we want to have we lead the
country into scoring, right, like score the most runs? Like
so you can walk, get hit, hit a single, don't care,
just find a way to score.
Speaker 5: I never thought i'd hear former pitcher Betrina say that, But.
Speaker 2: Here we go like Wes Johnson over there at Georgia.
Yet how about this coach? Uh? So the in football,
I was raised with a golden rule that was one
snapping clear right and and the the the the philosophy
is obvious behind It doesn't matter what you did last play,
good or bad. You know, all that matters is the
next play.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Do you drill something in similar into your team? Is
it one pitching clear like? How how how far down
do you zoom in? Uh? With how you teach your
team to stay in the moment?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's definitely a next pitch, one pitch mentality. I
think we talk a lot about that, you know, like
what you're saying, as good as the next play, You're
as good as you're next at bat. And it's a
lot about like you don't know, like if you're going
to be called upon to get the game winning hit,
to throw the game winning pitch, to make the game
winning play, like you just have no idea. So it's
just about whether you're on the mentor in the game,
being ready for that moment whenever it is, all right.
Speaker 5: Coach, let's get a breakdown maybe of what to expect
against the Georgia Bulldogs.
Speaker 3: You're going on the road.
Speaker 5: It is in Athens, number thirteen, like T Bob said,
in the country. No surprise there because what's an SEC
softball team?
Speaker 3: But what do they do?
Speaker 5: Really well, what do you have to make sure that
your team gets done against the Bulldogs?
Speaker 4: Well, they have two left handers on the mound, so
one transfer from cal We didn't face in the regional,
but prepared pretty heavily for last year.
Speaker 3: We have you prepared heavily?
Speaker 2: Yeah, for real, watched every pitch she's thrown since eighth grade.
It's just a little bit, you know, a little light work.
Speaker 4: She didn't have to so we were watching her Twitter post.
You know, looks like a car lady.
Speaker 2: Here we go.
Speaker 4: But two left handers that are there, one and two.
So we've been working on that quite a bit this week.
Heavy doesn't change up from one of them. And then
Georgia is just known for the big swing, the power offense,
hung ball like that's their ball game. So I think
just keeping them in the park. Too bad they're not
in Tiger Park that always plays a little better for us.
But keeping them in the park, making sure we shut
down their power offense and then handle their left handers,
that would be the scout in my world. There's similar
to us. They're young, it's not a ton of names
that you're familiar with, but it's a lot of good
softball players.
Speaker 2: Can't wait, Coach, gonna be a very excited weekend again, guys.
This top five L s U softball team continues to
kick ass this week on the road to Athens. Best
of luck. Coach will be watching on TV cheering you're
on and yeah, you'll you'll, you'll go kick some mess.
Speaker 4: Hey, I got to mention the teal walks coming up here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm also set you up for that. I'm gonna.

Off the bench and with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 2: Hey, Nan, y'all, welcome back to otb Hey, somebody throw
me a pin or a pencil. March madness, Baby, let
the madness begin. I still don't know, after all my
years of doing this, how exactly to do a radio
segment out of doing the picks, because I'm going to
be picking on vibes alone. So Jake, you're using actual
expertise as much as one can and March madness.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so do we just.
Speaker 2: Go with Jake's picks? Like, how do we how do
we do this on air? No?
Speaker 3: So the way that how do you all do it?
Speaker 2: I'm serious? Yeah, I need some college basketball music too.
Speaker 5: Sorry, anytime that we do it on serious X Sam,
we go, okay, give me your region, say you sout,
you know, starting the South?
Speaker 3: Okay, what is your.
Speaker 5: You know, final two teams in that region? Kind of
let's just go elite eight. So you go to the
region final two teams go to each region. Then who
do you have in your final four? Then who do
you have in your national championship? Who do you have
winning it?
Speaker 2: Okay? Okay? So what would we uh oh, okay, well I'm
not that far yet. I just picked Auburn to win
the first game we're on the board. Guys, in the
two fifteen, I'm going Michigan State.
Speaker 5: Okay, So we don't so we don't do that. I
can just you know, I'll try to.
Speaker 2: Are you ready ready? Okay? Give me give me j
Kester's Elite eight for the South? Who will be playing
to win the South and head to the final four? Right?
Speaker 5: So in the South region I have the Auburn Tigers
and the Michigan State Spartan's chalk chat. But I went
Michigan State the two seed to take down the Auburn Tigers.
Michigan State in San Antonio in the final four. I
actually have North Carolina in the South making a nice
little run here after the momentum they created for themselves
there against San Diego State.
Speaker 6: Not every track then, because I just picked North Carolina
over Mississippi.
Speaker 2: How are doing these picks so quickly?
Speaker 7: I'm just going off.
Speaker 6: I don't know anything about college based basketball this season.
Speaker 2: Over in the shout out with teen cleavesh Michigan State,
go ahead, Jake.
Speaker 5: I mean I am super chalky this term, and just
just warning y'all, Well.
Speaker 2: The top eight's supposed to be an especially strong top eight, right.
Speaker 5: And so out of the East, I've got Duke in
Alabama facing off in the Elite eight, and I've got
the Duke Blue Devils taking down Alabama. So you've got
Duke in the East. You've got Michigan State in the South.
Speaker 2: Nate, suck my oats. I hope you lose second round.
Speaker 5: In the West region, I've got well again, I told
you it's gonna be all chalk. I've got Florida and
Saint John's, although very easily I can see Florida and
Texas down.
Speaker 2: Every one two, one two, one two or so far.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're We're all a lot of one two's. I
can see it being Florida and Texas Tech here in
this one, but I think the Florida Gators are still
the team that wins the Rest West Region and.
Speaker 2: Then golden stalking a championship. Can't he find it?
Speaker 5: Then over in the Midwest again? Houston and Tennessee. Again,
Houston is different than everybody else. Houston number one defensive
team in the country. Can they score enough points to
win a national championship? I don't think so, but I
do have them making it all the way to the
Final four a lot of concrete. I've been told that
over the last couple of days.
Speaker 2: That is kind of funny though, Houston and Tennessee because
basically you just told me about Houston as what people
have always said about Tennessee as well. Right, gonna play
great defense.
Speaker 5: But it's a little bit different this year. But yeh
score as much, yes, more times than not. That has
been their mo.
Speaker 2: So wait run through it. Give us serious exem eighty
four Off Campus Jake Hess's Final four.
Speaker 5: Michigan State, Florida Duke, and Houston, and who's squaring up
in the Big Dance?
Speaker 3: Florida and Duke.
Speaker 2: I think I just threw up in my mouth a
little bit, not like at because they're your picks, but
like what a d bag on D bag final, Yeah,
that would be.
Speaker 3: And then you've already made fun of me for this.
Speaker 5: I've got the Florida Gators winning the national championship.
Speaker 2: Show how the mighty have fallen? And once again, to
return to my concrete analysis, I think there's a fatal
flaw there, and uh and and and and having the
Gators no no. You know many people have asked can
Florida win a national championship post yokim noah, And I've
always said no and thus far been proven right.
Speaker 3: Could say the same thing about Al Horford.
Speaker 2: I mean, look at it, still getting it done in
the NBA. Al Horford still is in the Is he
still on the Celtics? Yeah, Jesus probably still giving you
like yeah no, but like still giving you like six
boards when you need him. In the playoff off though,
he's gonna have a random game where he'll give you
a fifteen to ten couple big threes, play really good.
Speaker 5: D yeah, so you know we'll have an upset somewhere
along the line. But Tiba mentioned it a lot of
people believe this is one of the strongest, if not
the strongest top eight that we've seen, and so we'll
have upsets. We'll have a four go down to a thirteen.
We'll have an eleven go down to a six. And
I in fact, I have U n C beating Old
Miss and I wouldn't be surprised by that. By U
VCU is one that is very, very popular. When it
comes to an eleven and six, I've got Xavier beating
Illinois an eleven six matchup.
Speaker 3: We'll have those.
Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, after the first
weekend madness, when everything kind of tightens up, I do
think we are.
Speaker 3: Going to have a chalk heavy in CAA tournament.
Speaker 2: I uh, I think I heard on Levotard show. Somebody
checked the veracity of this information, but I heard that
I don't know what the window is, but that eleven
seeds actually have a winning record over six seeds as
of late.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, so I had Bill on when y'all were out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bill bend.
Speaker 9: Bi Bencher said yeah, from Sporty News. He's great at this.
He was saying, over the last three or four years
straight up for winning percentage eleven over six and that's.
Speaker 8: The last four years.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 9: So I mean it's almost a coin fl hip eleven six.
Because he was telling me, he's like, everybody talks about
the twelve five. He goes, it's that eleven six matchup.
That's that's really the one to look out for.
Speaker 2: And remember, guys, you're feeling intimidated about oh man, Wait,
like you're feel intimidated about oh man, I can't pick
it's it's I want to get it right, blah blah.
It's a one in seventeen quadrillion chance or whatever. It
doesn't matter. You could sit there and pick blind Q
would be five Q.
Speaker 3: Like just it says Q behind the number. Yeah, we
don't really know what it means. You ain't got a chance.
Speaker 2: It's a number frosyllion.
Speaker 8: It was a sports page on fill. I'll try to
pull it up.
Speaker 9: Because they had like five or six different like odds
of winning the like a perfect bracket.
Speaker 8: You were more likely to win the powerball.
Speaker 9: Twice in the same year than have a perfect bracket,
more likely to get hit by lightning twice indoors than
you are get a perfect bracket.
Speaker 8: They found my crazy stuff. They're like the odds are
very very slim, so.
Speaker 2: Good luck, godspeed.
Speaker 5: I know we have our own tournament challenge here on
this show, but we do have an off campus meathead
bracket on ESPN dot com.
Speaker 3: If you want to join that.
Speaker 2: Oh hell yeah, give me the code.
Speaker 3: No code's open.
Speaker 2: I don't know how bracket stuff works, obviously, just.
Speaker 5: Go to SXM off campus Meathead bracket on groups on ESPN.
Speaker 2: Alandra, if I wanted to do the one O four
five ESPN Bracket challenge, how would it go about doing so?
Speaker 7: You would go to one O four five ESPN dot com. Okay,

you want to see how badly you're going to smoke
me in this, well, uh you can. If you want
to watch Taylor crash and burn because he thinks he
knows too much.
Speaker 7: Wait, so we're all supposed to make one yes, okay?
Speaker 2: Mm hm, why was it throwing it to you?
Speaker 8: I don't know every detail?
Speaker 7: Ask me questions, and I'm like looking at this sheet like.
Speaker 2: I did hear you stalled him with Grand Pride.
Speaker 7: A thousand dollars powered by Vex European.
Speaker 5: I got Yale beating A and m guys, that's not
that crazy, exactly.
Speaker 2: Exactly. Taylor, give me an upset.
Speaker 8: Uh VCU beating by U in.
Speaker 2: Round one unexciting. Give me a better one.
Speaker 8: Somebody Drake beating Missouri round one?
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, I might choose all thirteen SEC teams to
lose a first round.
Speaker 3: Maybe it got a well one already lost.
Speaker 2: Text NOOKI had a Nookie had a great post earlier
talking about UH. I guarantee at least thirteen SEC teams
will lose this tournament record being NCAA.
Speaker 8: Record, sad overrated conference summer saying.
Speaker 2: I know, I know what I'm saying. Wait, you can't
win when it matters, can't win in the tournament, thirteen
of them losing.
Speaker 6: I have UC San Diego beating Michigan from my upset.
Speaker 2: Yep, hell yeah, good after Michigan four sec kid to
apologize for the cocaine celebrations.
Speaker 6: So stupid the block m and I have Montana upsetting Wisconsin.
Speaker 2: Okay, there we go. Give me Montana's mascot.
Speaker 3: Grizzly Go. Grizz Go grizz had their coach on yesterday.
Speaker 2: Oh man. Imagine being a big Grizzly beer and eating
like a fresh salmon out in the water forging blueberries,
and then your back starts to itch and you just
get up against a tree like, what a life.
Speaker 3: We had Bryce Drew in a couple of days ago.
He's coaching Grand Canyon.
Speaker 5: But like for me growing up, like ninety eight, he
hit the shot against Ole Miss. I was thirteen years old.
I was like, that's a core tournament.
Speaker 3: Memory for me. Whatever, So it's kind of cool to
have that conversation with him.
Speaker 2: Somebody is that where that Jason Williams video came from?
Somebody sent that in the group the other day or
did I just see that on my algorithm?
Speaker 5: You know, somebody sent Jason Williams video in the group
talking about Bryce Drew.
Speaker 3: There's one the other day.
Speaker 2: They brought him in for a workout, him and Bryce Drew,
and the head coach is basically like, look, I know
who's more athletic.
Speaker 5: I got a tea time in an hour, go ahead
and cook this kid, yep. And Jason Williams did because
he was that dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: That Grand Canyon basketball program though, like the women's basketball
program at Grand Canyon, they're in the tournament as well.
Speaker 5: I mean Grand Kyes made it like four out of
five years I think, and so he's got them rolling.
Speaker 3: Yeah, good for sure.
Speaker 5: I mean he won at Valpo where he played. He
didn't win a Vandy, but they did make the tournament.
Now he's winning a Grand Canyon. He's he's brought three
different schools to the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 8: Canyons Mascot Goo.
Speaker 2: Okay, uh, the Repellers, the Lopes, and the Loops.
Speaker 8: That's it.
Speaker 7: I thought Grand Canyon was like an online school.
Speaker 3: Mostly is okay.
Speaker 8: They have more students.
Speaker 3: Than any other university because of the online stuff.
Speaker 2: I called Taylor the Grand Canyon. Why so wide. You
can just lose yourself in there, giant gaping void of
nothing inside of his head. Stop, you don't.
Speaker 3: Number So do you ever win the national championship?
Speaker 2: I haven't gotten that far.
Speaker 7: I have aubury.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we know, I just do.
Speaker 8: Oh I don't like I went. I went Duke as well.
Speaker 5: Gross, yeah, Duke in the championship. So guys, we're just
trying to pick it right. We're not trying to pick
with our feelings. If we were picking with our feelings,
I'd have the zags hang in the banner.
Speaker 2: But again, when nothing matters and feelings are as, then
feelings become as valid as any other picks. Right, jimsums
is hot right now? I should probably choose liberty to
win the twelve five.
Speaker 5: There just understood what she said.
Speaker 2: I mean the value. The Fouls are the righteous Gymson family,
are they not, Yes, all right here giving their pool
boys houses. Yes, it's like that guy that keeps showing
up from Central Plumbing. All right, So there it is,
guys March Madness in the books.
Speaker 5: Duke Duke Florida, Auburn gross, gross, gross and gross.
Speaker 2: I mean, so, I actually it sounds dumb, but Auburn's
become so deeply unthreatening that I actually don't mind if
Auburn would have like a good run.
Speaker 3: I'm kind of with you on that.
Speaker 5: And when we go to Spring meetings, nobody gives us
more time and insight and stories than Bruce Pearl.
Speaker 2: See, Bruce Parl's kind of mean, He's kind of got
that way quality. It's chill, he's comfortable, he's confident, he's honest,
or maybe like open is the better word, because he's
also like greasy.
Speaker 5: Right, But so you know what I'm saying, like, yeah,
look shout out, Bruce Pearl. You need a little grease
to fit through the window.
Speaker 3: Sometimes.
Speaker 2: Bro Yep the necklace. That's what I call him. Fish
off Friends not food, my second favorite. Bruce.
Speaker 7: Who's your first?
Speaker 2: Top five? Bruce's number one, Bruce Lee number two, Bruce
the Shark from Finding Nemo number three, Bruce Pearl number four,
Bruce Willis number five. It's insane, Bruce Shimmy.
Speaker 8: I thought you're gonna say Bruce, Bruce the Comedian. I
forgot about who the hell is about?
Speaker 2: You know who?
Speaker 8: Bruce Bruce is.
Speaker 6: Bruce Springsteen, Who Bruce Springsteen, Bruce Wayne see Jewish, Bruce Jenner,
Bruce Arians.
Speaker 2: Guys, it's my top five bruces. Steve Bruce himmy coming
in at five. Okay, if you want to do your
top five bruces, feel free.
Speaker 8: Never thought about it enough.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as you can tell. Bruce Smith was, Oh, that's
actually crazy cause I was looking at Bruce Smith's that's
this morning. Why Because I was looking at the new
Daneil Hunter contract and looking at where Danil Hunter Ring's
career wise in sacks and it's kind of amazing. But
there's only one man on the planet that has hit
two hundred sacks. Neil Hunters at ninety nine and a
half about to break the hundred barrier, which enters him
into elite company. But only one man has two hundo,
and it's Bruce Smith. I would like to change my
list and put Bruce Smith number two and bump everybody
down on ands off.
Speaker 8: I mean he was a questionable choice. Anyways, it's not actually.
Speaker 2: All right more OTB.
Speaker 8: Coming up off the bench.
Speaker 2: What what did you see? Look at this? Well, I'll
say that for okay, go to Pelican roof repelicanroof dot com,

And again, I remember we are talking about hundreds of
five star reviews. Mother than laughing at and ban Rouge
offices in Lafayette and bat Rouge people on standby, ready
to go at dedicated plays every single step along the way.
When you called me, get in touch with you immediately
here's a five star of you on Facebook from Cade
awesome company to handle our new roof. Alan was great
at handling everything from inspection with our insurance to getting
everything lined up for the roof itself. Thanks again, one
of hundreds of five star reviews from a team at
Pelican Roof. I got Yukon in my final four. Guys.
I don't know if you heard about Dan Hurley. Okay,
few natties to his name, said no to the Lakers,
said no to Kentucky got him beaten. Saint John.
Speaker 3: Wow. Ray Patino's speech was a little too mainly for you, Huh.
Speaker 2: I got Auburn coming out of the South. So we've
got half my bracket done. Now I'm the bracket that
you should listen to. Okay, they called me t ball
this time of year.
Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, the anniversary is coming off played right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah? True?
Speaker 3: True? Are you are you doing T ball again? Hell?
Speaker 2: No? I think T ball's the biggest waste of time
on the planet. Uh, but whatever, I didn't know.
Speaker 3: I mean you played before?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was so dumb. It was such a
going through the motions. Why are we actually out here?
Every kid just hits and run hits and runs. You're not.
Actually they weren't actually learning anything.
Speaker 7: So apparently now they do like machine pitch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, machine pitch is cool.
Speaker 7: Okay, I didn't know they did that.
Speaker 2: They did that when I was growing up too. I
didn't pitch, and then we did coaches pitch.
Speaker 3: We never I had never heard of coaches pitch till
I got down here.
Speaker 2: You didn't we did.
Speaker 8: We did t ball coaches and then like kids.
Speaker 3: We did t ball, machine kids pitch.
Speaker 2: What I've never heard of machine Maybe I just did
coaches pitch, but I've heard of machine pitch before, or
at least it didn't sound I didn't.
Speaker 3: We didn't have that.
Speaker 5: In Stretford played Dixie Baseball. We had seven and eight
was pitching machine. Then nine ten started kids pitch.
Speaker 2: I did used to love to catch catch him was awesome.
It was very fun. But again, because I'm someone who
knows nothing but adversity, turns out you can't be a
left handed catcher. No. That is kind of odd, right,
is that the only position in all of sports that
you just can't stop?
Speaker 5: You also can't be any in photo. But first, like,
there's no lefties at all, not a single one, not
a single one.
Speaker 9: Damn wait, I get the I get the infield because
like you're moving in the wrong direction like third and short.
Speaker 8: Can't be a left handed catcher.
Speaker 2: Because the majority of the time when you're you're going
to be have a righty in the box and so
when you're throwing, he's in your way. No, I mean,
look it up, there's never been a left handed catcher
the baby like I don't know, like one hundred years,
gir something insane.
Speaker 5: I don't know how this article is going to go
for Paul Merrow here. It's on Louisiana Sports dot Net,
which you should go to every day. The headline the
wad hiring sparked the LSU fan base a little bit yesterday.
Speaker 3: We should be thinking about the future, not the past.
Speaker 5: I ain't saying I disagree with Hunt, but that's just
mentions are going to be interesting on now.
Speaker 2: The way thing will always be frustrating counts lol. The
column is roundly hated. The Way thing is interesting because
it's to me at least, because it's one of the
cases where I understand the emotions and the decisions that
were made of everyone. I understand why Scott Woodward wanted
to move on given the context of LSU football starting
to come in the crosshairs, starting to want to, you know,
start with a clean slate in many ways, and look
outside of basketball again, LSU is doing incredibly well at
every other sport. Actually, funnily enough, probably the two biggest
disappointments of the Woodward era would be football underachieving I mean,
not doing badly, but underachieving to expectation. And well basketball
is awful, but everybody else is awesome. So I mean, again,
what'd's doing a very good job overall in that ad role.
But like I guess, okay, back to my point, I
understand why Scott wanted to move on. But the other
coexisting truth is that you had one of the special guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'll.
Speaker 2: Never forget the first Will Wade press conference I ever
went to. I emerged and was like, I think that
guy give me like Saban vibes, not stylistically but in
terms of like competence and confidence. And I think, you know,
maybe maybe whatever the Saban that's a lot to put
on anyone, but I think he has proven himself to
be an elite college basketball coach. And so when you
have those guys you generally like to hold on to
them with everything that you have, and unfortunately the circumstances
were such that again I think you kind of couldn't,
or at least it makes sense why you did it.
So I feel I feel like I understand where everybody's
coming from. It just sucks because he was awesome.
Speaker 5: He's awesome, and now he's gonna be walking out of
the tunnel with a red and black nWo shirt little
wolf pack actually going too sweet.
Speaker 2: That's what I'd be doing. Give me the sting mass.
I had read a Bucks thing mask growing up. It
was awesome. What'd you do with it? I just I
probably lost.
Speaker 3: It when you had it. We talked about.
Speaker 2: No, my neighbor Jacob we got him at the uh
SO w CW Monday Night. Nitro came to Atlanta the
week after Starcade when Kevin Nash tased Bill Goldberg. Uh well,
actually no, I think it was non. Goldberg had Nash
up in the jackhammer and Scott Hall tased him. Goldberg
ends up losing his first ever match, and the next
Nightro was in Atlanta. We went, we bought the masks.
Is very fun. But then that's when the nWo was
formed that nitro is when Kevin Nash acted like he
was apologizing only to betray Bill Goldberg once again. You
handcuff him to the rings, spray paint nWo on his chest.
That's when he took the fall to give Hogan the belt.
What nobody saw is after the TV broadcast ended, Jesse
the Hammer, Tuggle and a handful of other Atlanta Falcons
came out to the ring, speared all of the nWo,
kicked him out and saved Bill Goldberg. It was a
fun night and he.
Speaker 3: Was an animal the hammer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, bro, Jesse Tuggle, absolute monster. Uh and his
son Justin was a little bit younger than he was,
so athletic, he like never played in college and then
made it multiple years in the NFL.
Speaker 3: I remember him on his visit at LSU.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the mercy and his old man being like, I'm
glad to have to block that guy.
Speaker 2: That guy's low to the ground too. Yeah, you know,
like he was about five to ten Yeah, yeah, yeah,
maybe five to ten exactly.
Speaker 5: You ain't getting under him, Nope. Anyway, morog be closed
out our two.
