So to do that, we're gonna have a little weekend winns.
Speaker 6: That's how when it has done, that's right, we can't

Speaker 3: Now, what are you doing what it takes to win
a championship?
Speaker 8: Wow?
Speaker 4: Winning? Well, then I guess there's only one thing left
to do.
Speaker 6: What's that.
Speaker 4: When the whole thing.
Speaker 8: All?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: Alandro, I believe you had a week in winter, you said, already, Right,
I believe I did.
Speaker 4: But I don't remember.
Speaker 5: Verge has He's the week in winner for me, but
he's also just like an overall winner because you get
thrown into this situation and talk about like waiting your turn.
Speaker 7: Urge has been with the program forever.
Speaker 5: I remember when I first got to campus is like
a personal little anecdote. But when I like when I
came for orientation before freshman year.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we were walking to Mike's habitat to.
Speaker 5: Look at Mike, and Verge just like stopped me and
my family and asked us where we were from. All
this stuff gave us a tour of the locker room,
showed us.
Speaker 7: The media room.
Speaker 5: I think I have a picture with like Leonard Fournette's jersey.
Let me do like the actual wind bar. I met
Malachidi Prie and like took me, Yeah, took me on
the field. It was I have pictures from this and
it was it like completely changed the course of my
entire life. Like that's where I was like belong here. Yes,
like it felt like a sign of me. So shout
out to virg He's just like an overall good person.
And you get thrown into this situation where your ad
gets fired. Brian Kelly gets fired. The Governor's out here
talking and like it's a very hard situation to maintain.
And he maintained it and knocked it out the park
with a hire that was their number one choice, and
he did it.
Speaker 7: He did it in a savage way. And I just
shout out to Verge.
Speaker 3: Yeah, to have a main target and a coaching search,
to be relentless, to say this is who we're going
to get and there's real you know, of course you
have like you know, air quot backup options there, but
it was.
Speaker 4: It was Lane Kiffon.
Speaker 3: It was Lane Kiffin the entire time for virgin and
the committee there so shut out for getting that done
and bringing Lane Kiffin to LSU. I'm gonna go weekend
winner all of us for Blake Baker being returned. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And and and I mean.
Speaker 3: Top fifteen scoring offense in the country. I mean just
a couple of years ago before he got here, you
were eighty first in the country and scoring defense your
top fifteen this year.
Speaker 4: I think that that was.
Speaker 3: That was one of the reasons why, like, if it
wasn't Lane Kiffin, like I was so high on Eli
was because I knew that he would keep Blake Baker
and that defensive staff and tag and I think between
Blake Baker and like, I don't know this information, but
I'm just assuming it's gonna be Blake Baker and Jake
Olsen and Corey Raymond. I mean, everybody's going to be
And I know, I know the coach O portion of
it is out there, like we'll see, we'll see. Like
I'm a huge fan of Kyle Williams being on this staff.
I think you look at the job that he's done
with the defensive tackles. I mean, Jacobin Gillory has been
here six years and he played his best football by far.
Like the credit to Jacobean for going out there and
putting in the word, but also Kyle Williams for getting
the most out of a player who's been here five
years already before he got here. And so with the
recruits you have coming in, yeah, I would love.
Speaker 4: To see Williams is going to be a priority. In
my opinion.
Speaker 6: You talk about probably one of the best like technique
savvy coaches in the country at any position. Like that
is a guy that you had that can elevate a
player and take like give, give, and don't let him
get a room full of the guys that he wants
and can mold into that type of type of defense,
because that defensive line will end up being Dane Juriss
big time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we can win it for me. It's gonna shock
y'all New Orleans stints, please explain, elaborate the Jets.
Speaker 6: One guess what draft stock just went up right now,
right now based on tankathon, dot com forward slash NFL.
Speaker 4: They got New Orleans picking your website.
Speaker 6: So there's three there's three teams with two wins, the Saints,
the Giants, the Raiders. Of course, Tennessee absolute dumpster fire.
But as of right now, based on tankeathon dot com,
I'm looking at New Orleans Saints is picking number two
as it says right now. So yeah, Saints stink. They
could have won some games they could have won yesterday.
Speaker 4: Should have to know what the Jets lost. So that's
a good thing. I was reaching.
Speaker 7: Jets are ass, Yes.
Speaker 4: They are, but they won. They beat the Falcon.
Speaker 7: Well, the Falcons are also ass.
Speaker 5: I just that's why I'm like, you don't have to
try a tank because you're gonna get a good draft
position anyway because of how bad you are, and you're
just gonna lose these games anyways.
Speaker 4: Yeah at the higher yesterday, I really did.
Speaker 3: And I know a lot of Saints fans are like,
you know, lose for a better draft choice, and.
Speaker 4: I get that. I just hate it though.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got the ONLD side kick and it's like
Veyle actually did something, caught a touchdown, Like.
Speaker 7: What Charlie Smith.
Speaker 4: Yeah he kicked a fifty something.
Speaker 5: You like you're calling him a DEI higher and he's contributing.
Speaker 4: I never said you kind of did no, So okay,
all right, I like that you found a way.
Speaker 7: You found a positive spin on the Saints.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna assume Cassie doesn't have a weekend winter.
Speaker 7: I go, no, I don't have one.
Speaker 5: I can give a do one for Cassie ls men's
basketball anybody in the Old Coast Classic this weekend.
Speaker 7: They won it.
Speaker 5: That's their second time winning it. They went in twenty
twenty one. Also, twenty twenty one was last time that
men's basketball started seven to zero. Max McKinnon made the
Old Tournament team and DJ Thomas Junior is the Attorney MVP,
which Thomas Junior I took in my first l s
U basketball game of the season on Saturday because I
worked it and he's incredibly impressive. Like he might be
one of the best point guards in the SEC right now.
Speaker 7: Like I again, they.
Speaker 4: Feel great right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they got some shooters different this year.
Speaker 5: To last year, right like Reese is a shooter, McKinnon
is one. Like they look pretty good. And I know
that the competition hasn't been great, and I'm I would
love to.
Speaker 7: I think we all know. I've been kind of on
the fence with Matt McMahon and I really want him
to succeed because he's a nice guy.
Speaker 8: He really is.
Speaker 4: He is a really he's.
Speaker 5: Really good people. So I want this to work out
for him and I want to be I want to
eat crow about it. Yeah, but they're looking good second
in the SEC see right now eight and oh yeah.
Speaker 4: They're scoring, they're shooting well. The redounding good too.
Speaker 5: Yes, they had a good defensive game plan heading into
the game versus DePaul.
Speaker 7: So they're looking good so far. We'll see what it.
Speaker 5: Looks like once we get into SEC play, because it's
quickly becoming a very competitive league in basketball, so exciting
times in the horizon, I think.
Speaker 3: And you've got a couple of games like you you know,
you've got Boston College and the ACC SEC Challenge.
Speaker 4: You've got to ranked Texas Tech coming up as well.
Speaker 3: You've got SMU before you get in a conference play,
so you'll get a better idea, certainly against Texas Tech,
like how for real this team is and how improved
they are, So we'll find it so hard exactly, I'll go.
I'll stay in the LSU hoops from next weekend winter.
I'll go to the women's team. They set an NCAA
record with seven straight one hundred point games seven straight.
Now they've got a matchup with Duke coming up now.
Coach Molky told us last week, Duke Isn't it exactly
what everybody thought they were going to be. They were
a ring basketball team in the preseason. They're off to
a three and five star but still to and oh
at home, it's going to be better competition than you
face so far. I mean, Duke has played also like
UCLA and South Carolina, who are some of the top
teams in the country.
Speaker 4: So it is.
Speaker 3: It's a very tough schedule for the Duke Blue Devils,
but another challenge for LSU. So looking forward to seeing
if they can yet again get to one hundred points.
Speaker 4: It's been very impressive for them. So we can winner
LSU Women's Basketball. Love it? You got any more? You've done?
Weekend loser? Okay?
Speaker 6: Oh miss, we can winner LSU train turnhill, Babe, suck
it right?
Speaker 3: Should we get like w oh yeah with the red
and black?
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, let's go, We'll pack. Heybrace embrace being
the bad guy for a little bit. I love it. Yeah, Look,
I told you it's gonna take me a little while.
Speaker 3: But at the interview two hours and fourteen minutes, baby
you're here.
Speaker 4: I'm ready welcome.
Speaker 9: Hey, oh miss, you're a weekend loser. Sorry, sorry for
those kids over there. Yeah, another flip back all right?
Speaker 3: Now, when we come back, we'll be joined by our guy,
Devin snow A Ka hold the Mayo to break down
his thoughts on Lane Keffn, the New Orleans Saints heartbreaker

Speaker 4: Sneaky fourth round pick. Well last Dev, when we come
back here on No TV, Off the Bench.
Speaker 1: Two thousand and seven, Shams purple and Gold to the core.
This is Off the Bench with Hester and Flume, Matt
and Rouge is go to for all the things Louisiana sports.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in O t B here on

that Mondays are reserved for red beans and rice, certainly
red beans. I want to know what it is, m Dev.
I hate to inform you of this, but Matt was
hating on red beans on a Monday here on.
Speaker 8: The show w O two. What's going on with this guy?
Speaker 6: I wouldn't hating no respect. Now he was going to
become a member of n W. That was like the
one time I was actually tuned in wrestling. I think
everybody goes through wrestling phase at some point, some multiple phases.
That was like the one time in my life. I
actually I was locked in during that. Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, no, I mean easily them and d X greatest
wrestling faction of all time?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean were we in w O the Black
and White or the Red and black?
Speaker 8: Black and white?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's hard, I know, but.
Speaker 3: The Red and Black is pretty sweet though, Like Razor
Ramone Diesel.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they brought sing they brought Sting into it.
Speaker 10: That's when I had to.
Speaker 4: Draw, you know, yeah, yeah, they.
Speaker 8: Can't bringing was such a good guy. He was such
a you know, like a baby face, so you know,
to bring him into it, that's I had. I had to.
Speaker 4: Man, that's fair. Def we got a lot to get
to here. Boy, let's start with let's start with the
with the l s U. Let's start with the positive.
Speaker 3: Here, Lane Kiffing, the deals done, he's in town, he's
the coach.
Speaker 4: Your initial thoughts there happened so quick?
Speaker 8: I mean I know it was, it was really up.
Speaker 10: To it, but I mean, wow, bro, like it happened
so quick.
Speaker 8: He is so quick And.
Speaker 10: I even said it like a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 8: It wasn't really something I was crazy about doing. I
think mostly just because you're spending so much. How much
would you pay Brian Kelly fifty something million? And it's
pretty much.
Speaker 10: Doubling that, right, So that was the only thing I
wasn't crazy about. But I mean, I'm not gonna sity
and be like, oh I'm pissed at Lane Kiffin's the coach.
Speaker 8: That's not the definitely not the case, you know. So hey, man,
it comes down to this, bro, get us to the CFP. Man,
get us to the CFP, and all is well, Man,
you're gonna have all this money to allocate towards recruits.
People are gonna want to come to LSU like more
than ever.
Speaker 10: I mean they already did, you know, but more than ever.
Speaker 8: You already got the best pipeline for football on the planet.
So this only you know, it's just like it's time, man,
Like we gotta get that. Man, got to get to
the CFP. Just give us a chance to win something big.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 6: It was such a wild build up and I get it,
Like just there was a lot of question like you
just talked about like it wasn't like the thing that
you necessarily were dying over to happen the way it happened.
Speaker 4: But like that he's here.
Speaker 6: We could always we can all agree that it was
the top choice, right, the best coach available, for sure.
But here's what I want to know, Devin, finish this
sentence for me. Oh, Lane Kiffen is a top blank
coach in the country.
Speaker 8: He's a top he's a top seven co top five,
he could be top five, you know, but it's like,
how long are we talking the overspan of what amount
of time?
Speaker 9: Right?
Speaker 8: I think right now he's one of the top coaches
in football, in college football, in the you know, it's crazy, dude,
It's crazy to think about how long Lane Kiffin's actually
been around. I was thinking about that last night. You know,
I've been hearing about Lane Kiffen and seeing you know
since like oh not since like oh eight. You know,
he's been around for so long. But yet this is
easily his most peak form he's ever been at.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, dev he was the coach of the
Oakland Raiders when Ken and I were rookies, right, yeah, huh, yeah,
he was uh, let's just say the Raiders didn't thrive
with anybody during that time. During that time, it turns
out the Raiders are still the Raiders. But yeah, just
to kind of go back on the timeline and dev
after freezing my ass off in Norman, Oklahoma and watching
that offensive performance in the defense just giving you everything
they had, Like the offense was working hard. So I'm
not saying that, but the foundation just it's not there.
The defense gave you the football three different times. They
tried to do everything they could, and you don't play
a perfect football game.
Speaker 4: Nobody does, even the greatest performances of all time.
Speaker 3: You're gonna have a missus simon, You're gonna have a
play where you didn't do so that they had a couple.
They had two right the Oklahoma calls the screen right
into the blitz, great play call. You had the bust
and coverage and so that was the two plays, and
the offense were you know, they weren't able to help
you out there. So after like being in that situation,
I just want LSU to have a balanced offense and
defensive attack.
Speaker 4: Complimentary team play.
Speaker 3: Offense takes up for the defense, defense takes up for
the offense, and there just was none of that, and
so after sitting through that, I am thrilled to have
an offensive mind like lane Kiffin come and be the
guy that's putting the scheme together.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and that's what I'm most excited about is our
offense isn't gonna be brutal anymore. It's not gonna suck anymore,
you know.
Speaker 10: Like I heard somebody say this on Twitter the other day.
Speaker 8: It was like people always talking about, you know what
Lane Kiff and steeling is. But I think the biggest thing,
the guy said, I forget who it was, he goes,
I think the biggest thing is Lane Kiffin school.
Speaker 10: Lane Kiffin school.
Speaker 8: You guaranteed almost at this point to where the full
I mean, at minimum, he's gonna win your nine games,
you know what I'm saying. I know that's not quite
what we look him, you know, at the end of
the day. But still it's like that's the floor, right.
You know, you're gonna have a great offense. You're gonna
have an offense that is exciting to watch. They're gonna
go out there and be in the game. And that's
something that we lack. Man.
Speaker 10: I mean, look at that game.
Speaker 8: Last this past Satura and I it's it's just like
the most unwatchable offense. Man. It's like they basically I
said it a few times. Man, it's like they financed
that playbook. Dude, they can't get out of it. It's
off I never want to see it again. I hope
it's over, you know, with anything to do with those plays,
and I believe it is.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Selishu offense has certainly set offensive football back
fifteen twenty, maybe forty years. Who knows it's been. It's
been that bad. But you know what good things in
the future were, like because you, like you said, that's
a great point. Like the floor for him is ten
times better than what we saw this year from an
offense in production. But let's let's turn let's turn to
focus a little bit. I've been like dying to ask
you this is the greatest fourth round trade ever in
the history of football.
Speaker 8: Stop.
Speaker 10: But wow, you know, I mean, what a game for
vele I thought he only know how to play soccer
up until yesterday.
Speaker 8: And uh he you know, he waits through and if
if the eight catches ninety something yards wasn't enough in
a touchdown, which was a great catch, he goes and recovers.
Speaker 10: The on side kick and it leaves me to the
next point.
Speaker 8: Charlie Smith.
Speaker 10: Oh my god, dude, like goes out there.
Speaker 8: Nails a fifty six yard field goal. I understand. Look
I was. I defended Blake Groopy to the very end.
What the end came? And now it's Charlie Smith and
and and wow, what a performance.
Speaker 10: Due Like the commentators were literally talking about, Oh, I
bet you a.
Speaker 8: Nickel on a pickle that he's never kicked an onside
kick before he goes and nails it, dude, so.
Speaker 10: Said, yeah, yeah, he And the thing.
Speaker 8: About it is if the Saints don't throw that pick
two on a conversion and they just straight up miss it,
they would have recovered.
Speaker 10: The on side kicking. Guess who would have been in
position to win the game.
Speaker 8: Charlie Smith. I mean it would have been Story Bunk
oh Man.
Speaker 3: A lot of has had some moments this year, but
like that play is like the perfect example of and
I texted our group receiver two energy, Like that's a
play that every top receiver in the NFL goes and
finds a way to. I mean, the ball went through
his arms. And Chris Love is a great football player.
I'm not saying it's not, but to be like the
main focus on your offense, like those are plays I
want to see Chris Olive go make.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's just it sucks, man. We've seen it too
much too, you know, and it's like bro like shuck.
That's why I don't agree with like any type of
real like at the four Games, like shuck hate, because
this dude's will to throw that ball.
Speaker 10: You know, it takes.
Speaker 8: Balls to throw that ball, and he threw that ball.
It was right down the money, olve was in perfect.
Speaker 10: Position, and I mean, dude, you could have literally sit
a refrigerator.
Speaker 8: Through his arms.
Speaker 10: It was right there, you know.
Speaker 8: And it just you couldn't make the catch.
Speaker 10: And Jackson Smith and Jacobin makes that catch, you know.
Speaker 8: And I know that's just the example we use in today,
but there's a lot of guys that make that catch.
And Krys o Lovey for some reason, it's like hit
a miss on that stuff, and it's really a lot
of miss more than hit.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we've said that about I mean, he's had some
really big games, great plays, highlight plays throughout the year,
but he said that multiple times this year. It's say
that's the catch and the moment that not only Jackson
Smith like in Seattle, but ones two's all over the
country are making for every team you're talking of, like
a back hip, throw a jump and catch over, Like
you got to make those catches if you're a number
one guy, and it just hasn't it hadn't been there
but there. But then you say that and the next
week he goes and has one hundred twelve yard and
there's there's good in there.
Speaker 3: There's certainly is good in there because like you said,
like he has those big games, but that's not the
only thing that makes you a top dog, top ten receiver.
Like when we start talking about like you mentioned Jackson
Smith and Jigba, elite neighbors, whoever you want to put
into that category Jets, does Jamar Chase make that play?
Speaker 8: Def Absolutely?
Speaker 6: And so does McMillan for Carolina is kind of balling
right now.
Speaker 4: I mean Panthers.
Speaker 3: The Panthers are elite when they play elite teams, they're
average when they play average teams, and they're bad when
they play bad teams. It is fascinating how their seasons
turned out.
Speaker 8: And they just got a good run game too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what the Packers. I mean they're like, what in
the world dev Yeah.
Speaker 8: They had staff it in hell, dude, I mean it
was I watched that game and it was something else. Man.
It's like, really when you look at it, dude, Like
I feel like they had a team in the division.
I feel like they're the healthiest you know what I'm saying. Uh,
Like it's between them and the Bucks, right, Like they're
the healthiest team. So I don't know, they kind of
I know they a division rival whatever, but they kind
of exciting to watch.
Speaker 4: Look, I mean they are they are.
Speaker 3: But it's like, can anybody like I really hate on
the Panthers again, like you can don't like them, but
they've been so bad it's like okay, like you can
at least head pat him, at least be like, man,
that is that is so cute?
Speaker 4: Job.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, you couldn't have said that bad as great job.
What y'all think about summer All to Florida, dude, because
they hate dude, The Florida fans hate it.
Speaker 4: I know, I know, so do you like?
Speaker 3: I think John summer All is a dude, Like I
love interviewing that guy.
Speaker 4: He gets me fired up for Florida. Fans.
Speaker 3: I guess, I guess I get it, because if you
don't know the situation, you're like, wait, we're hiring another
G six coach from the state of Louisiana. We just
tried that and it didn't work. But anybody that knows
Billy Napier and John John Summrow, if you've ever been
in a room with either one of them, you can't
have two more completely different human beings. And that's not
saying one's wrong or right or whatever that they're just
completely different.
Speaker 4: Like Billy Napier is laid.
Speaker 3: Back and talks a little slower and has a play
like John Sumraw is like all in your face, full
force pedal to the medal.
Speaker 4: That's his attitude.
Speaker 3: So I get why Florida fans are doing that because
they don't know. But those two guys aren't the same.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, that's what I briefly tried to I
think I replied the one comment about it because.
Speaker 10: I had tweeted that he you know, they may not
understand now, but.
Speaker 8: They're gonna see soon. I mean, this guy eats footballs
for practice, you know what I'm saying. It's just a
really passionate dude. About football and they just not having it.
They and it's just because, like what you said, it's
two guys, two back to back guys out of Louisiana,
which is kind of funny. But it's like, yes, they
are way different, I mean to me. Also, I think
some are all just got a better football mind too.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I just wonder, like it is weird to hate on
a higher when, like I don't know, besides like Lane Kiffin,
like who else were you going? Like who are you
going to fall back on? Especially after having Nape? You're like,
who else you going to fall back on? If you're Florida.
That's been my question.
Speaker 4: It's like, was it was it Lane Kiffin or bust
for them? But to be.
Speaker 6: Disappointed in another top you know what everyone considered from
coast to coast, like a top coaching a guy in
some raw how the people feeling in you know, you
know Lane leaves. Of course everyone at Oxford piss but
in New Orleans, two Lane folks, New Orleans people kind
of feel the same way about some are all leaving
a team that could potentially make a playoff.
Speaker 8: I feel like, I mean, I feel like it was
He's gonna continue coaching right, So he's still going to
coach out, which is And that's another thing, dude, Like
if they went on Friday, I think it's Friday. I'm
pretty sure they're getting in the playoffs, dude.
Speaker 4: And I think so too.
Speaker 8: That's yeah. I mean, it's just an insane situation.
Speaker 10: But I feel like they did it right, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 8: They were able to get.
Speaker 10: With each other and be like, hey.
Speaker 8: Like this is what's best. And you know, he deserves that.
Speaker 10: He really does.
Speaker 8: Man, he deserves that because he he got the program
in a great spinning. Willie Frist did too, but I
mean he's got him the way they're about to make
the twelve team playoff, dude, they just got to win
on Friday against North Texas, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4: They played North Texas in the American yep.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and they got a good quarterback.
Speaker 4: Dude. So how about that.
Speaker 3: I'm got Oklahoma State and Florida's coach going against each
other in the American Championship.
Speaker 8: That's crazy. Yeah, that's crazy. But no, I think you know,
the Florida ain't gonna be that of shoot, right, but
they I think they'll be substantially better. I mean, how
much worse could they get me. This is an awful
year of Florida.
Speaker 10: They got that win this past weekend, but this.
Speaker 8: Has just been an all awful year.
Speaker 10: And it gives them that. Yeah, and it gives.
Speaker 8: Them that Lagway will be there, you know, and at
least another years gives them one year with lag Line.

and Maroucci shout, I got a question for you, I
got an answer.
Speaker 4: Maybe, who do you think's gonna take the Penn State jup?
Speaker 3: Oh boy, you don't talk about quiet as a church mouse.
We hadn't heard anything, and I know the latest was
Josh Hipel, Tennessee head coach. Maybe a little interview going
up for an interview with them, but it's a strange move.
And like in fifteen minutes, which is pretty wild, you
had like three sec vacancies field after the domino of
Lane Kiffin falls. You've got Florida, You've got Auburn, You've
got Arkansas. But I mean, we haven't heard anything from
Penn State. Now, I mean even Michigan, Like Michigan State,
like it's like, all right, they fire their coach, and
it's like they kind of figure like Patasherl is gonna
be their new head coach. So like everything's happening so fast,
but it has a lot of people thinking that, well,
it's Penn State's coach still coaching.
Speaker 4: Is see coaching in the playoff.
Speaker 3: Often he's not leaving before they're gonna have to wait,
which is a slippery slope if you're Penn State. I know,
the Klen divor stuff that you know that's all happened
and been out in front.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think ls she just proved that you if
you want, if you got someone in mine, you can't wait.
Speaker 4: You got to go and make a move. And I
don't know who that person is.
Speaker 6: Certainly we heard, you know when he got fire, Brian
Daballs name, Yeah, thrown in there a lot, and I
think that one makes sense. But did Josh Heipel think
doesn't really make sense to me? I mean, I guess
Tennessee hadn't had like the recent success, but I think
it's I don't know, do you think it's at an
equal level of Penn State. I mean, maybe a little
bit below, but from a fan base standpoint, from a
stadium sized standpoint. I mean, I guess Pen State made
the playoffs last year, but like they never win the
Big ten.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so.
Speaker 6: I don't know, is it a better job? I don't
know why he would be taking that hype. Seems like
a sec Yeah.
Speaker 4: He made the playoffs.
Speaker 6: Two he thinks it's an easier road, an easier path
right now? Or maybe it's just posturing.
Speaker 4: Maybe he's like, I wanted to get paid. Can't get those?
Can you get Beyonce? Yeah? Those? That sounds like what
Lane just did. That kind of sounds fun. What about
what happened with what happened with Clark Lee? They got
a dollar dollar bills?
Speaker 3: Yep, you know, they signed new contracts in their current spots.
Speaker 6: Pipe is probably like, what's Lane doing that I'm not
doing over here? Mhmm, interesting.
Speaker 4: Man, it is. Yeah, it is really quiet there in
State College.
Speaker 6: We gotta we got a eulogy to do today, not
right now, but we got a next segment there, Bud,
we got the next segment.
Speaker 4: We lost another one. Not forgotten though. Well.
Speaker 6: He could have been a real exciting week for eulogies.
Michigan State head coach, you got yeah, right, I canned.
Speaker 4: He did. What's the opposite of eulogy?
Speaker 6: Like a welcoming into the world, a birth announcement for
birth announcement? Sure, should we send a birth announcement for Lane?
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know who that's opposite? Right, that's
the end, this is the beginning. I don't know, Landra,
would you call it? I don't have any idea.
Speaker 5: No, I actually thought birth announcement in my head too,
I'm like, welcome to the.
Speaker 4: World, Welcome to I don't know.
Speaker 6: Look, I ain't Kevin one hundred and ninety seven pounds
four ounces.
Speaker 3: Look, all all jokes aside, all jokes aside. Like, I
know the circumstances. I know that it was a windy,
messy road to get here. But if we're just talking
about what it's going to look like on the football
field next year, when you kick off across the street
in Death Valley against Clemson and you've got Lane Kiffin
on offense and you've got Blake Baker on defense, and.
Speaker 4: We don't know what the roster's going to look like.
Speaker 3: But if there's one thing that Lane's been able to
do no matter where he's been, we'll obviously call offensive plays,
but also bring in talent through the transfer a portal.
How could you not be excited about what the future
looks like like? The Blake Baker news is so big
because you've got that continuity on that side of the football,
and it was so much good and so much improvement
over the last two years on that side of the football,
and you're gonna have some players that are certainly going
to have decisions because they might have you know, said,
you know what, I think I'm gonna leave be at
the draft or be at the portal. But now that
Blake Baker and we know what he means to the players,
like he's staying in place. Man, you gonna have a
lot of continuity on that side of football. Yeah, it's
a big deal that it's a big move. That's the
biggest news I've heard.
Speaker 6: You know, this has been a huge news cycle, but
as of like today, like that was the one thing
I think we were all kind of holding their breath with.
It's no surprise that the people that followed Lane to
LSU are offensive guys. I think he felt really comfortable
with Blake, And uh, we should all be excited right
now because I think we feel pretty good about the
offenses and defensive side of the ball, which we haven't
even brought up though, like we still got a game
to play.
Speaker 4: Yeah, still got a ball game. Yeah, this team does.
Speaker 6: I'd be interested to see kind of like how that
whole situation is handled, and I'm sure we'll hit more
about that kind of that.
Speaker 3: That is true because we've we've seen like Sonny Dykes
when he took was it, I guess it would have
been the TCU job or is the SMU job either one.
When he took a job, he coached the ball game, right,
I don't know if you remember that. And so I
got it.
Speaker 4: I don't know. Lane's like, hey, uh, I'll watch that offense.
We're gonna think good.
Speaker 3: Oh put these put these ten to fifteen things in
please and saw these during those practices.
Speaker 4: Got a couple of.
Speaker 6: Weeks here, two days. Yeah, so exciting. Well, we're excited,
LSU fans. You got reason to be excited. And if
you weren't excited last night, as much as you can
be well today with the news that play Baker's stand.
Uh yeah, go ahead and get you a little this
sec you today, maybe have a little champagne, maybe a
little celebration, a little funk on.
Speaker 4: What put a little funk on? That's all right?
Speaker 3: What's our what's our song that we play on Fridays,
Slam Dunk the funk.
Speaker 4: I mean it does change the vibes when you play it.
Speaker 6: I mean, y'all were kind of shocked at how many
bangers there are.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's like the main one for me.
Speaker 7: I wouldn't even consider that like in the genre though.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean it says it, but yeah, a little
bit louder now, no, no, ala about all right, I
will all.
Speaker 3: Right, we'll take a break, wrap it up when we

Speaker 4: All Right, I know we gotta change the vibe just
a little bit. I'm gonna talk it to you, Matt.
Speaker 6: Well, we have to do it once again. We have
to later rest another good one. Some might say great,
maybe not a lot could we gather here today? The
later rest the long, sturdy, blue collar tenure of Mark Stoops,
a run that outlasted trends, coordinators, offensive identities, and even
the sanity of a fan base that once watched its
quarterback Will Levis casually eat mayonnaise like it was Greek yogurt.
Truly an unforgettable time in Kentucky football history. Stoops, or
as frustrated posters occasionally christened him during rough patches, Mark
Poops took over a program that barely had a pulse
and somehow willed it into relevance through grit, toughness and
an endless supply of junior college defensive lineman.
Speaker 4: Shout up.
Speaker 6: He didn't build Kentucky into superpower, but he built it
into something far more impressive, a team that mattered weekend
and week out. We remember some of the highlights, like
in twenty eighteen ten wins.
Speaker 4: That's double digits, y'all.
Speaker 6: A Florida wind streak snapping which felt like discovering fire,
defense full of NFL guys, and like we said, an
a's eaton quarterback.
Speaker 4: The Stoops hair wasn't perfect.
Speaker 6: The offense got so conservative times that even Io whispered relaxed,
big guy. There were games where Kentucky stubbornly attempted the
forward pass like it was a foreign concept. But through
it all, Stoops delivered something Kentucky hadn't had in decades, stability, physicality,
and expectations that didn't require a miracle. He made Bowl
games normal, He made Florida winnable. He made Kroger Field loud.
So today we say farewell, not with anger, not with regret,
but with appreciation and maybe a big bottle of Duke's
raised high rest in peace. We love the coach. Stoops
maybe remembered fondly, argued about endlessly and occasionally joked about,
especially when people chuckle thinking about again the name Mark Poops.
God bless you coach Stoops. God blessed Kentucky. God bless
the United States of America, shouted coach Stoops.
Speaker 3: It was the longest tenured head coach in the SEC
before yesterday. He brought Kentucky from being a staple on
Jefferson Pilot Sports to actually beating the Florida Gators, which
was no small fee. They had lost thirty years in
a row before Mark Steups was able to figure out
the Florida Gators.
Speaker 4: So shouted Coach Stoops, rest in peace.
Speaker 3: That is my guy, dude, like good scheeps. He'll find
a spot. He'll be Okay, Kentucky, I don't know what
you were doing. Kind of wait late, but we'll see
what happens there. Hey, we love you, We thank you.
We'll see you can borrow chew chew chew
Speaker 1: Off the bench
