1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah with Jacob Hester and T

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:10,000
Bob Aber the pitch. Now here's Jacob Hester and T

3
00:00:10,199 --> 00:00:11,000
Bob Aber.

4
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 2: Easy, Josh, I'm doing finger guns at Tate. How about

5
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,320
Ja Morant? I freaking love it. Two nights ago, does

6
00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:33,840
finger guns against the Warriors, gets a technical, gets a

7
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,679
stern warning from the NBA, and then last night, in

8
00:00:37,759 --> 00:00:41,280
the first quarter, hits a three and does the finger

9
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,719
guns on the way back, just a big middle finger

10
00:00:46,359 --> 00:00:48,479
to the NBA. And then know he closes out the

11
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,159
night hitting the game winner right in front of a

12
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,560
BELLA danger legendary performance from Ja Morant.

13
00:00:57,119 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 3: You're about to say legendary performer.

14
00:00:59,719 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: True, that's where he were going. True on both counts.

15
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,280
One of the goats, A couple of goats chopping it up.

16
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,439
I mean what I do love? I mean in all seriousness.

17
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,959
The jamrant doing it again immediately the next night is

18
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,400
absolutely like what you're gonna do?

19
00:01:19,519 --> 00:01:21,879
Speaker 3: NBA? Do some do some?

20
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I people do something make me like it's

21
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,239
it's it may be the bad guy, it's and it's

22
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,120
weird because if they do do something're kind of playing

23
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,560
into his hands. Because a lot of people pointed out

24
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,319
that a lot of people have done finger guns, but.

25
00:01:33,239 --> 00:01:34,599
Speaker 3: For because of Job's passed.

26
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: Obviously, they kind of made a bigger deal out of

27
00:01:36,519 --> 00:01:43,239
it this time, just a wild, wild, rebellious situation from

28
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,120
uh from Job.

29
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 4: I still can't believe they suspended the dude twenty five games.

30
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,400
I just I just still can't believe them in what way.

31
00:01:51,319 --> 00:01:54,280
I just I just thought that was a little.

32
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,319
Speaker 5: Bit enough too much.

33
00:01:55,519 --> 00:01:58,239
Speaker 6: I thought that was incredibly excessive.

34
00:01:58,519 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 3: Okay.

35
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but

36
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:01,920
do you think it's because.

37
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: Of the definitely because of his actual firearm related incidences

38
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:07,640
in the past.

39
00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, one n one hundred percent, like.

40
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 4: He I get it, but he posted a picture with

41
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,680
a firearm on Instagram.

42
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I still think it was a bit I

43
00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:21,800
still think the I still I get why the NBA

44
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:25,879
did it, But I don't know what they're gonna do here,

45
00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:29,520
because they should do nothing like they did last I mean,

46
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,319
I I kind of agree they should do nothing, but

47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,960
this is absolutely him thumbing his nose.

48
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,759
Speaker 3: This is like the scene in Breakfast Club. You know,

49
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,039
you want another one, another detention? Yeah?

50
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 2: Whateverly, you know, just going back and forth, just stacking him.

51
00:02:44,039 --> 00:02:48,159
He didn't care this big high school rebel vibes from.

52
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,719
Speaker 4: John did you did you hear the NBA's excuse, Like

53
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,280
they are the reasoning for like warning him the first time.

54
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,960
They're like, we didn't. We didn't view it as like violent.

55
00:02:58,039 --> 00:03:00,159
We just thought it was inappropriate. I'm like, okay, well,

56
00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:02,439
then what was inappropriate about it if you didn't think

57
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,120
that it encouraged violence?

58
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 7: Uh?

59
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:06,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean.

60
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 6: Like, I'm like, I don't I don't get that.

61
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're kind of trying to have their cake and

62
00:03:09,719 --> 00:03:13,840
eat it too a little bit there. Uh. Either way,

63
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,879
I'm excited to watch it play out. But that was

64
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,919
just a very There was a very mad lib sort

65
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,199
of moment with him finishing that Shota out in front

66
00:03:27,199 --> 00:03:29,719
of bella danger immediately after doing that in the first round.

67
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,199
Also doing it in the first quarter is pretty diabolical,

68
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,159
you know, like a first quarter three when the Grizzlies

69
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:39,360
have been sucking lately. I could have all gone very wrong,

70
00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:41,159
and yet it did not.

71
00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:42,879
Speaker 3: It did not.

72
00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:48,879
Speaker 8: I think it's a perfect transition into his former college

73
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:52,000
coach getting another player out of the portal.

74
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:52,879

98
00:05:07,319 --> 00:05:12,920
Matt McMahon and Matt McMahon has added Max McKinnon, a

99
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:19,480
Portland wing six six o ore now who shot forty

100
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,319
from three last year, averaged fourteen points a game eighty

101
00:05:23,399 --> 00:05:25,160
nine percent from the free throw shoot.

102
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: That's a sniper.

103
00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: Boys got ourselves in Australian sharpshooter.

104
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 8: Hell yeah, let's throw it to our shoot basketball expert

105
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,920
over here, a little correspondent, Taylor Sharp.

106
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,639
Speaker 4: I like the sogny. You needed three point shooting bad

107
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,480
this last year. I mean really, outside of Cam Carter,

108
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,720
you didn't have that. This guy shot forty one percent

109
00:05:50,879 --> 00:05:53,319
last year and he's putting together a nice team. I mean,

110
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,279
you look at what he's got coming back. It's not

111
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,240
a ton, but Jalen Reid's coming back. As of right now,

112
00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:01,879
Robert Miller is still on this team. Then you got

113
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,000
Michael Nioku from Mississippi State. I mean that's three quality

114
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,079
post players right there. Damian Collins as of now, not

115
00:06:08,199 --> 00:06:10,560
in the transfer portal. That's another guy that you can

116
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,680
play in the post. You were bad there a year ago.

117
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,240
Now you needed shooting and good news of film. This

118
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,360
lt Bob, the Thomas guy. We couldn't figure out how

119
00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:20,160
to say his first name. Yeah, he's a junior and

120
00:06:20,199 --> 00:06:22,199
he goes by DJ, so we're gonna call him DJ Thomas.

121
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,879
So that's that's a lot better. So you got DJ Thomas.

122
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:26,079
Speaker 3: I don't remember who we're taling about.

123
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 7: Was this?

124
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:29,399
Speaker 4: Actually it was like did don yeh, But he goes

125
00:06:29,439 --> 00:06:31,600
by DJ, so we're going yeah. And then you got

126
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,319
Rashad King. So this is your fourth transfer two four

127
00:06:35,399 --> 00:06:37,759
seven sports has this is a top three transfer portal

128
00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:38,439
class right now.

129
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I was gonna say.

130
00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2: So you know, if you too, like me, just tend

131
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,920
to stop listening when Taylor starts talking. All you need

132
00:06:47,959 --> 00:06:49,439
to know, I'm just kidding. Tell you that was a

133
00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:51,959
great breakdown for real, and I did appreciate it. Uh

134
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,360
but as as he ended with their like, sometimes the

135
00:06:56,399 --> 00:06:58,800
easiest way to prove something is just to be like, well,

136
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,519
two four seven right now has the Strength is the

137
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,639
number two portal class in the country.

138
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:03,959
Speaker 3: You trail only Louisville.

139
00:07:04,439 --> 00:07:08,199
Speaker 2: So promise is made in terms of committing more resources,

140
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,160
committing and getting better through the portal and thus far

141
00:07:11,839 --> 00:07:17,360
promises delivered. Look six six from three will play anywhere.

142
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,720
I feel like I saw Dick Condon being like sarcastic

143
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,439
about this online this morning with surprise me because I

144
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,079
know Dick like legitimately loves LSU basketball and was more

145
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,959
than anyone as somebody who rode in a bed of

146
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,439
a truck to go to the Final four in Philly

147
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:32,160
back in the day.

148
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: But this seems like a perfect pickup.

149
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,319
Speaker 6: I get it. A lot of people are down.

150
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,959
Speaker 4: I'm like may and I understand that, right, Like you

151
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,519
look at McMahon's overall record as conference record, it's not

152
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,120
good enough.

153
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 6: But you can't not be excited about this.

154
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,319
Speaker 4: You can't not look at this and say, oh, well,

155
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,439
this is this is certainly trending in the right direction.

156
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 6: Cause it is. And does is it gonna work out

157
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:51,519
on the court? I don't know.

158
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,399
Speaker 4: We're gonna have to wait and see. But like, you're

159
00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:55,040
in a better spot now than you were a week ago.

160
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,560
I have heard a better spot a week ago than

161
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,319
you were two weeks before that, So like you gotta

162
00:07:58,319 --> 00:07:58,839
build on it.

163
00:07:58,920 --> 00:07:59,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm not.

164
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,279
Speaker 8: Sure that people realize how good the West Coast Conference

165
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:06,000
really is. A lot of people just assume it's Gonzaga

166
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,040
and everybody else. That's just not the case. Gonzaga makes

167
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,720
a tournament every year. Saint Mary's makes a tournament every year.

168
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,079
San Francisco was really good this year. That's where Todd

169
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,839
Golden came from before he was at Florida. Like he

170
00:08:17,959 --> 00:08:19,000
brought that program.

171
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,839
Speaker 3: They were in the tournament when he was there, right.

172
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,519
Speaker 8: Yes, I mean so that like and for I mean

173
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,800
for years BYU until they went to the Big Twelve.

174
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,000
They were in the conference. Washington State, Oregon State were

175
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
both in the conference and basketball this year. It's a

176
00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:35,480
good basketball conference. And so like his stats don't allow

177
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:37,679
it to be like, oh I played in this non

178
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:40,799
major West Coast Conference. It's a good basketball league, and

179
00:08:40,879 --> 00:08:41,960
so his numbers are legit.

180
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:48,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good point. Also, look, it's only gonna

181
00:08:48,519 --> 00:08:50,919
get more coganpetive, it's only to get more expensive. So

182
00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:52,799
I don't think we ended up getting to it yesterday.

183
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,679
Remember Chris Beard all of a sudden a couple of

184
00:08:55,799 --> 00:08:59,200
days ago, rumored that A and M was gonna pay

185
00:08:59,279 --> 00:09:02,480
him seven million dollars a year to go be the

186
00:09:02,519 --> 00:09:06,360
head coach. The funniest part is later reporting claims that

187
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,559
it was Beard's camp that reached out to A and

188
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,799
M and was like, hey, we love the state of Texas,

189
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,519
like we really want to get back blah blah blah.

190
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,559
And it looks like he played him a bit lack

191
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,840
a fiddle because what it resulted in was ole Miss

192
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,159
coming back and saying, Okay, well we will pay you more.

193
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,200
You got a six year extension and we are now

194
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,200
committing to making are to increasing the nil fund to

195
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,919
the point where ole Miss reportedly now is going to

196
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,240
be top four in the SEC and anil money spent

197
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,759
on basketball. So it is a weird thing where Elis's

198
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:42,559
doing great work right now, but it's a long road

199
00:09:42,639 --> 00:09:44,279
and there's a lot well it can't be I mean

200
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,799
not timeline wise on a long road, because you can,

201
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,960
you know, you want to hyper accelerate the process, like

202
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,320
the expectations are going to be to be good immediately

203
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,080
look at the Zoo two years ago overs last year.

204
00:09:55,799 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: Uh, but it's.

205
00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: An expensive road that's only gonna get more expensive. But

206
00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:03,559
thus far looks like they're playing. They're playing the game,

207
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,799
and well they continue to do so Candid Gate and

208
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,480
then and then Ken MacMahon if you give him, if

209
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,799
you finish with the number two class somewhere around there,

210
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,960
and so we think objectively, okay, you have the talent.

211
00:10:15,639 --> 00:10:19,480
That's when we can finally judge Matt McMahon kind of

212
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:24,320
based on his own merits of the actual basketball coaching

213
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:25,600
side of the equation.

214
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:31,159
Speaker 8: You got to do what they're doing right now. It's

215
00:10:31,159 --> 00:10:35,120
got to even continue to go up. Look, there is

216
00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:38,559
well over seventeen hundred players in the Basketball Transfer Portal,

217
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,200
so you've gotten four of them. Some of your players

218
00:10:42,279 --> 00:10:44,639
are currently in the portal. They have not made their

219
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,879
decision where they're going to go next. Maybe some of

220
00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:49,919
those players could come back. Probably not, it's usually not

221
00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:53,159
how the Basketball Transfer Portal works. But you still have

222
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,080
work to do. You still can add to this roster.

223
00:10:56,279 --> 00:10:59,080
So hopefully LSU is not done and we see a

224
00:10:59,120 --> 00:10:59,919
couple of more names.

225
00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: All right, more OTB. Let's talk some say till we

226
00:11:02,799 --> 00:11:08,799
get back. Mop the dash go to Pelicanoofine. Pelicanroof dot

249
00:12:06,039 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: Back to sports talk, maybe off the bench?

250
00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 3: Are you ready?

251
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 8: He said, sorry, sorry, yeah, I've never noticed that.

252
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, yeah, I get yeah, Canadian use it.

253
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,879
Speaker 2: But the inflection also allows him to rhyme it with story.

254
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, I meancons can rhyme if you say it right,

255
00:12:34,279 --> 00:12:35,799
don't let him play this song tonight.

256
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 3: Oh, they're going to play this song tonight with the

257
00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:41,799
song I mean, surely Nickelback will play I know. I'm

258
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,799
just no, no, I'm asking though.

259
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 4: And also if you look at the schedule to play

260
00:12:47,639 --> 00:12:49,840
the hits, you know sometimes at festivals, like you'll have

261
00:12:49,919 --> 00:12:52,159
ten acts and they all go like twenty thirty minutes.

262
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,120

if we're gonna do it Saturday, but but everybody's going

00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,799

00:14:06,159 --> 00:14:09,320
good week We had else you softball cranking up this

291
00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:14,120
weekend in Tiger Park, trying to beat that those damn

292
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:19,720
dirty bastards. A Crimson Tide, got lsgu Nax's hitting away

293
00:14:19,759 --> 00:14:21,080
on Saturday, got one.

294
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,399
Speaker 3: Times game two night, like six pm.

295
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:28,639
Speaker 2: Yep, there we go in High School Stadium. Matt's is

296
00:14:28,639 --> 00:14:30,840
going Hogs tomorrow. Zachtop and Charlie Crockett.

297
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 5: That was great. I love Charlie Crockett and Zach Top,

298
00:14:34,159 --> 00:14:35,519
but Charlie Crockett's underrated.

299
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,519
Speaker 3: I don't know either of them, but they like.

300
00:14:37,559 --> 00:14:39,519
Speaker 5: We've played Zachtop a few times just.

301
00:14:39,559 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: Based on name alone, I feel like they're more real

302
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,720
country and less pop country.

303
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 6: Oh dude, that.

304
00:14:48,759 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 3: Yeah good.

305
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,679
Speaker 5: He's like throwing it back to the ninety one.

306
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,399
Speaker 4: He's the one we were talking about the other day.

307
00:14:53,399 --> 00:14:55,120
He's got like the blonde hair, and so people wanted

308
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,960
to start the rumor. They're like his dad was Alan Jackson.

309
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,399
Remember we had this whole discussion.

310
00:14:59,399 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 5: He has brown hair, but like it was like Alan

311
00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:05,120
Jackson conspiracy theory, like he was touring in Washington at

312
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:05,639
the same time.

313
00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:08,759
Speaker 2: That which one do you believe more that Alan Jackson

314
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,879
is zach Toop's dad or that Michael Michael Jordan is

315
00:15:11,919 --> 00:15:13,759
Anthony Edwards dad.

316
00:15:13,919 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I'm gonna go to Alan Jackson.

317
00:15:17,159 --> 00:15:20,279
Speaker 3: Edwards one gets me because they really do look so similar.

318
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, they look they look more like but I don't know,

319
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,679
I feel like I feel like aunt Wine's a little

320
00:15:24,679 --> 00:15:25,879
too much to be related to Mike.

321
00:15:26,039 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 3: See, I would like Trinity River by Charlie Crockett.

322
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,559
Speaker 5: What do you think I think you would like? I

323
00:15:31,559 --> 00:15:35,080
think you would like Charlie Crockett, Okay, or Jake. I

324
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,960
don't know if you know Charlie, but you would like

325
00:15:37,039 --> 00:15:37,279
him too.

326
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

327
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 5: But Zach Top is one of those people that kind

328
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:41,519
of blew up out of nowhere.

329
00:15:41,919 --> 00:15:44,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, wasn't that long ago that he was playing small venues.

330
00:15:44,679 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, he just was at the Texas Club last year.

331
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

332
00:15:48,039 --> 00:15:50,759
Speaker 2: Well, once he changed his name, that was big because

333
00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:52,960
when he was Jack Bottom, nothing was working.

334
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 7: Right.

335
00:15:53,679 --> 00:15:55,759
Speaker 5: You're right, it's just not as great as the name

336
00:15:55,799 --> 00:15:56,320
is Zach Top.

337
00:15:56,559 --> 00:15:58,639
Speaker 3: No, it's it's kind of it's easy to make jokes

338
00:15:58,639 --> 00:15:59,440
about Jack Bottom.

339
00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:03,759
Speaker 2: Yes, more dominant position. Ye, shout out tout. I'll try

340
00:16:03,799 --> 00:16:09,799
them out. I'll try them out for sure. Uh, dirty

341
00:16:09,799 --> 00:16:10,279
little river.

342
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll get distracted, Okay.

343
00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: New Orleans Saints Ross Jackson has an excellent piece up

344
00:16:17,679 --> 00:16:21,000
on Louisiana Sports dot Net right now where he is

345
00:16:21,039 --> 00:16:23,919
talking about instead of picks that these Saints should make

346
00:16:24,039 --> 00:16:29,080
at nine, picks that these Saints should avoid at nine

347
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:36,080
and well, imagine this. It's too talented but not productive

348
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,639
pass rushers that he highlights here, and that is Georgia

349
00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:43,840
defender Michhale Williams and Texas a and m pass rusher

350
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:49,519
Shamar Stewart. And look, both of these guys are athletic freaks.

351
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:56,440
Schamar Stewart especially took the combine and just absolutely dominated it.

352
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:03,679
Insane height and weight insane forties. In sane everything jumps

353
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:08,759
everything but four and a half sacks in three years

354
00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:10,440
in college.

355
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 3: Granted Michel Williams.

356
00:17:11,759 --> 00:17:15,799
Speaker 2: Has been more productive, but four and a half year one,

357
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:21,039
four and a half year two, five in year three.

358
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 3: And and and here's where it gets a bit odd.

359
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,319
Speaker 2: Is that, like Josh Allen, daneil Hunter is the guy

360
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,559
to highlight here that you can always point to if

361
00:17:30,559 --> 00:17:33,880
you want to make one of these picks right, Because

362
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,279
Daniel Hunter didn't get any sax in college, but was

363
00:17:36,319 --> 00:17:38,799
that same physical freak, dominant comment and all that other stuff,

364
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,279
and now he's made himself into literally one of the

365
00:17:41,279 --> 00:17:45,880
best pass rushers of all time in the NFL. But

366
00:17:46,039 --> 00:17:50,559
context matters, and that's where I think you cannot. If

367
00:17:50,559 --> 00:17:53,640
you were a better team with a better track record

368
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,400
of this, I would allow you to go get Mikhail

369
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,480
Williams or Shamar Stewart. But given your missus and your

370
00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:04,880
misses specifically in trying to find that pass rusher. Also

371
00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:07,559
with the added context of you let Trey hendricksonuld leave

372
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,880
guys who leads hit a fell at sacks over the

373
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,000
last couple of years you had him, you drafted him,

374
00:18:14,279 --> 00:18:17,720
so giving your record, you cannot take the risk of

375
00:18:17,839 --> 00:18:20,759
drafting a high potential pass rusher.

376
00:18:21,319 --> 00:18:23,559
Speaker 3: And I don't care. Who's a Mike Green from Marshall

377
00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:24,000
as well?

378
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,039
Speaker 2: Small school no, Now, he's very productive, but small school, no,

379
00:18:27,319 --> 00:18:27,960
we don't want.

380
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 3: I don't want a pass rusher nine. I don't want that, Baba.

381
00:18:30,519 --> 00:18:31,880
That's exactly where I was gonna go.

382
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 6: Bob.

383
00:18:32,559 --> 00:18:35,279
Speaker 8: Look, I'm not even saying that you don't need a

384
00:18:35,319 --> 00:18:39,160
pass rusher. I get it because Cam Jordan's older, because

385
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,720
Carl Granderson's older, I understand, And Isaiah Foski didn't work out.

386
00:18:43,759 --> 00:18:45,799
I do understand that. But I still think you can

387
00:18:45,839 --> 00:18:48,880
get enough production from those players. You just signed Chase

388
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,319
Young to a big deal, like that's an edge rusher.

389
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,839
How many resources do you plan on putting on the

390
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,680
defensive line, Brian Brazi first round pick.

391
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,599
Speaker 3: I mean you traded for a defensive I'm in here.

392
00:19:00,759 --> 00:19:04,039
Speaker 8: In this free agency cycle, you re sign players on

393
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,200
that position. You've spent enough time on the defensive line.

394
00:19:08,839 --> 00:19:13,960
You have got to go playmaker. You have to Brandon Cooks. Sure,

395
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,720
it's a nice additional piece, but if you think signing

396
00:19:17,759 --> 00:19:20,519
Brandon Cooks is going to be the difference maker on offense.

397
00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:22,839
You were fooling yourself. He can be a piece of

398
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,519
the puzzle, He's not going to finish the puzzle. You

399
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:31,359
have to either go tight end, receiver, running back. You

400
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:36,640
need some juice offensively with a weapon. For a quarterback

401
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,000
that cannot do it by himself, he needs all the

402
00:19:40,039 --> 00:19:41,519
help that you can give him.

403
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 3: I think the one defender I may be down for

404
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:45,640
be Mason Graham.

405
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 8: But again, he's worth min or is worth a ninth

406
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,839
overall pick, no doubt about it. Any draft like he

407
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,160
would be a top ten pick. You can place him

408
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,799
in any draft, doesn't matter. He's a top ten pick.

409
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,759
But again, you've traded for player at that position. Brian

410
00:20:01,799 --> 00:20:04,480
Brazi was a first round pick at that position. You've

411
00:20:04,519 --> 00:20:07,920
got so many resources tied into that position. Do you

412
00:20:08,039 --> 00:20:10,599
think that adding a Mason Graham would be a game

413
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,960
changer enough with what you have offensively?

414
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:13,559
Speaker 3: I do not.

415
00:20:13,799 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair. I mean, that's that's that's completely fair.

416
00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:19,240
Maybe this is only a world in which like gent,

417
00:20:19,519 --> 00:20:20,640
Warren and McMillan are all.

418
00:20:20,519 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 3: Of the board. Even though I don't know McMillan, I'm

419
00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:24,480
a little freaked out by that. Not like, now, there's

420
00:20:24,519 --> 00:20:25,240
a lot of people.

421
00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 8: So we have you know, Rahet who came on here

422
00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:30,200
last week, but Ratt comes on with us every week

423
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,640
for an hour and talk nothing but draft. Yeah, and

424
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,920
he said it's freaked every team out. Yeah, that's so crazy.

425
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,519
Speaker 2: And I know you may be seeing there in saying like,

426
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,559
I mean, is that an overreaction?

427
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 3: Like what are you talking about?

428
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 2: But that was a very again, it felt like a

429
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,960
Project Veritas video Like that was a very honest moment

430
00:20:47,559 --> 00:20:51,319
from McMillan. And I don't know that's something that you

431
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,880
can just change. Can you learn to love it? Can

432
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,160
you learn to want to watch it?

433
00:20:56,519 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 3: Now?

434
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 2: Granted, there are guys who have been like Arian Foster

435
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,640
very famously, you know, never really liked watching like football

436
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,680
casual or anything. Running back you can get away with this,

437
00:21:04,759 --> 00:21:07,519
will do what he needed to do in order to

438
00:21:07,519 --> 00:21:08,279
be successful.

439
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 8: But yeah, and Aaron was a little more of a

440
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,920
first and second down running back than he was a

441
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,480
third down at the running back position, tape is a

442
00:21:15,519 --> 00:21:17,720
third down situation.

443
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 3: Like, you can't get a third down back and not

444
00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:20,559
watch tape.

445
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 8: If you can get away with it at any position,

446
00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:25,119
I would say running back is the spot you can't

447
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,200
at receiver. They discussed too many coverages. There's too many

448
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,680
things that you have to on the fly adjust to.

449
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,039
I'm not saying he doesn't. I caught up with him

450
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:34,279
at the Super Bowl. I thought he was a great

451
00:21:34,519 --> 00:21:38,279
young man. Enjoyed our conversation. But a lot of people

452
00:21:38,279 --> 00:21:41,960
are questioning with tedor Rod McMillan, like, Okay, what did

453
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,880
you really have to do at Arizona? Did you get

454
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,240
away with everything at Arizona? Were they trying to keep

455
00:21:46,279 --> 00:21:48,079
you happy so much that you didn't go in the

456
00:21:48,079 --> 00:21:49,720
portal that you didn't have to do the things that

457
00:21:49,759 --> 00:21:50,599
everybody else had.

458
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 3: To do it?

459
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 8: So you're saying there's stories floating around your quarterback. Was

460
00:21:54,759 --> 00:21:56,720
your quarterback basically your entire life?

461
00:21:56,799 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 3: Yeah? Right? So like how much they played like before

462
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,160
all together? Yes?

463
00:22:01,279 --> 00:22:03,759
Speaker 8: How much of that was you know, y'all's report because

464
00:22:03,759 --> 00:22:07,319
you just literally played with each other all growing up

465
00:22:07,519 --> 00:22:10,359
in college. There's a lot of questions. Do I think

466
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,440
that Tedoro is going to be a good player in

467
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,279
the NFL? I still do, but I understand why there's

468
00:22:15,319 --> 00:22:17,039
some teams that are like not in the top ten, we

469
00:22:17,079 --> 00:22:19,680
are not going to use a top ten pick and

470
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,400
so for the Saints, like, if Tyler Warren is there,

471
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,240
how intriguing is that going to be to them? Could

472
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:31,480
Matthew Golden from Texas dominated the College Football Playoff? Nobody

473
00:22:31,519 --> 00:22:33,839
could cover him, Like is he going to find his

474
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,119
way into the top ten? Is he different enough from

475
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,319
the receivers that you have and a lave a Shaheat

476
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,759
and Brandon Cooks in his size, he's more in kind

477
00:22:41,759 --> 00:22:43,400
of their mold than Tedorro McMillan.

478
00:22:43,599 --> 00:22:45,839
Speaker 2: So I mean like, if you were telling me I

479
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,839
had a jodge from the receivers, I still would probably

480
00:22:47,839 --> 00:22:50,920
go McMillan. Yeah, because of that, because of the physical difference.

481
00:22:51,559 --> 00:22:54,039
Speaker 3: It sounds like Jenti's going to go six overall to

482
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,000
the Raiders. So he's starting to become more and more clear.

483
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 8: Their GM basically is like I can't come home to

484
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,400
my son if we don't select him sixth overall.

485
00:23:01,519 --> 00:23:03,599
Speaker 2: So he let Josh Jacobs walk, and then they're like,

486
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,880
I mean, you know, maybe Jentin to be better Jacobs,

487
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,759
but then Josh Jacobs like lead Yeah.

488
00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 3: The league in Russia this year.

489
00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 4: A lot of people were wondering, like, oh, could they

490
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,519
still go to your door? Because Gino only had one

491
00:23:15,559 --> 00:23:17,720
year left, he reached the seventy five million dollars.

492
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, how about that?

493
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 6: So I mean that they're not they're not taking your.

494
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,079
Speaker 3: Good for Gina.

495
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 2: So again, at the end of this, I agree with

496
00:23:25,759 --> 00:23:29,839
Ross's original premise. I really just don't want to pass Rusher.

497
00:23:30,039 --> 00:23:31,079
Speaker 3: I don't think you. I don't.

498
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,279
Speaker 8: I think that would be a bad move for the Saints,

499
00:23:33,319 --> 00:23:34,400
regardless of who it is.

500
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 2: I would keep the door cracked for Mason Graham, like

501
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,960
I'm not going to close miss the off completely. But

502
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,960
I do agree with Jake that it feels like this

503
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,559
needs to be an offensive pick here and a difference

504
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,519
maker a skill position pick as well. We'll continue to

505
00:23:50,519 --> 00:23:53,079
break it down though, as we get closer to the draft.

506
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,279
All Right, when we get back more OTB. We got

536
00:25:07,559 --> 00:25:11,480
now we are so lucky to be joined by the

537
00:25:11,599 --> 00:25:15,519
legend himself, mister Todd Walker on the call last night

538
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,640
talking about some big old bastards he played with back

539
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:20,119
in the day.

540
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,559
Speaker 3: Todd, what's up man, Thank you so much for joining.

541
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 7: Us out in the world. Do you have that much

542
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,720
energy at eight thirty in the morning? Man?

543
00:25:27,319 --> 00:25:30,319
Speaker 2: A lot of coffee, a lot of coffee and you know,

544
00:25:30,519 --> 00:25:32,720
just just got used to it over time. Man, How

545
00:25:32,759 --> 00:25:36,359
we feel that? What a performance last night, Todd. And

546
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,599
obviously I do want to pick your brain about Elishu's

547
00:25:40,599 --> 00:25:43,160
approach of the plate in the offensive side of the game,

548
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,359
which is gonna be a bit unheralded on a night

549
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,440
last night night like last night, But I still think

550
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,240
has some really sot elements. But you gotta start the

551
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,880
conversation with Kate Anderson. And as you'll rightfully pointed out,

552
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,000
it's not just a complete game shutout, but it's in

553
00:25:59,079 --> 00:26:01,880
the context of him looking like he was going to

554
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,880
get pulled after that, you know, potentially in that first inning.

555
00:26:06,279 --> 00:26:07,759
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know if there was a thread of

556
00:26:07,839 --> 00:26:09,799
him getting pulled, you know, because you got to remember,

557
00:26:09,799 --> 00:26:11,839
you got two more games, so you want your ace

558
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,440
to last. Even if he gives up like last week

559
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,440
where he went into the fifth gave up five runs

560
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,960
against Misissippi State. You're gonna leave him out there just

561
00:26:19,319 --> 00:26:21,240
for the fact that two in a station bullpen. But

562
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,000
he did get in trouble in the first one out

563
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,759
bases loaded. He had given up the two base sins.

564
00:26:26,799 --> 00:26:29,039
One was a shift there and then the other one

565
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,680
was a walk. And that's when Nate Yesky went out

566
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,640
and talked to him, calmed him down a little bit,

567
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,240
and from that moment on to the end of the game,

568
00:26:37,039 --> 00:26:39,119
I mean, he was electric. Struck out the next two

569
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:40,720
to in the first, struck out the first two to

570
00:26:40,759 --> 00:26:44,880
start the second, and ended up what fourteen strikeouts only

571
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,359
the two walks he was to who he was, I mean,

572
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:48,559
he's one of the best in the league with the

573
00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:50,839
strike at the walk grace show where he's got, you know,

574
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,240
six to one strikeouts to walks, which is incredible. Kyson

575
00:26:55,279 --> 00:26:58,359
Withersmen on the other side was just as good. I mean,

576
00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:59,799
he's one of the best in the league as well.

577
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,279
You know, we talked about the offense of LSU. They

578
00:27:03,319 --> 00:27:05,039
just battled that guy and it was just a great

579
00:27:05,039 --> 00:27:07,240
baseball game. It wasn't a good game to hit because

580
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,039
the wind was blowed straight in and it was pretty

581
00:27:09,079 --> 00:27:12,599
cold up there last night, but LSUE squeaked it out.

582
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,759
You know that's that's a good sign for LSU because

583
00:27:14,759 --> 00:27:16,440
we know they're gonna bash it around on days when

584
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,359
the pitching is an A plus, they're gonna score the eight,

585
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,759
nine to ten runs. But can you win the coastlands?

586
00:27:21,799 --> 00:27:23,440
Can you win the games where you've got to really

587
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,000
play great defense behind your guy? Can you get a

588
00:27:26,039 --> 00:27:28,079
lot of swinging misses? And that's what happened last night.

589
00:27:28,759 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 3: Todd? When did it change?

590
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 8: Where like everyone was up in arms when a pitcher

591
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,200
went a complete game? I mean when you were playing

592
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,200
in the big leagues like Scott Erickson had eleven and

593
00:27:38,319 --> 00:27:41,240
ninety eight, Kurt Shilling had fifteen complete games.

594
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:41,759
Speaker 3: In ninety eight.

595
00:27:42,039 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 8: I mean even going to twenty eleven, James Shields had

596
00:27:44,839 --> 00:27:48,000
eleven complete games. Like when did and now it's like

597
00:27:48,039 --> 00:27:51,680
Todd the lead leaguer, lead leader has like two maybe

598
00:27:51,759 --> 00:27:53,039
three complete games.

599
00:27:53,319 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 3: When did that change? Like? When was that something that

600
00:27:55,519 --> 00:27:57,799
they just didn't allow to happen? Yeah?

601
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 7: I don't know. I probably right when I was about

602
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,559
done playing because we were on the field with Greg

603
00:28:04,559 --> 00:28:06,920
Maddicks won his three hundredth game and I got to

604
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,720
sign ticket and baseball and awesome day in San Francisco,

605
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,440
and I remember thinking there's not gonna be too many

606
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,440
three hundred game winners, if any ever again, because they

607
00:28:17,519 --> 00:28:19,640
just don't go. I mean, you know, if you get

608
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,839
five out of a starting pitcher, that's that's really good

609
00:28:22,839 --> 00:28:25,240
in the day and age, and the reason being, they're

610
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,319
saving arms. They just want to. They think it's more

611
00:28:28,319 --> 00:28:30,839
important to save arms. Even in the big leagues because

612
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,960
the season is so long. They're gonna get thirty starts

613
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,519
out of a guy, and they pay him a lot

614
00:28:34,519 --> 00:28:37,720
of money to do that, and so they're gonna protect

615
00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:40,799
arms in the big leagues. But in in college baseball,

616
00:28:41,119 --> 00:28:43,559
like last night, with all the scouts in the stands

617
00:28:43,599 --> 00:28:46,000
and everything else, we really thought he'd get pulled into

618
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,880
Stevens just strictly because of pitch count, because you don't

619
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,319
want to hurt Kate Anderson's arm. Then he comes out

620
00:28:51,319 --> 00:28:53,720
in the eighth with one hundred and fifteen pitches and say,

621
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,119
all right, he's gonna face his first hitter, and then

622
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,240
he goes He goes pretty you know, pretty clean inning

623
00:28:58,279 --> 00:29:00,400
in the eighth, and when he came out in the ninth,

624
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,000
it's just something you don't see anymore. You just don't

625
00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:05,160
see that, and that's not a bad thing. I think

626
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,920
it was great. The feedback from Cad had to have been,

627
00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:10,960
I feel great, Yeah, I'm pitching well, the velocity is

628
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,319
still there, the off speed's working. Let me go out

629
00:29:13,319 --> 00:29:15,079
for the ninth. And there was a clean inning there too.

630
00:29:15,079 --> 00:29:16,759
I think they would have been real careful with him

631
00:29:16,759 --> 00:29:19,319
in the ninth, but uh man, I mean he was

632
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,880
just dynamic and really shut down an offense. It's pretty

633
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:23,680
good for Oklahoma.

634
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

635
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,039
Speaker 2: Again, sitting on fifty eight pitches after three innings, who

636
00:29:28,039 --> 00:29:31,880
would have guessed that he had six more left in him?

637
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 3: What a performance?

638
00:29:33,519 --> 00:29:38,839
Speaker 2: And Todd, this is something that you've seen play throughout

639
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,839
your career. But I can't help but think about is

640
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,640
watching those two last night and Kate and Kyson.

641
00:29:44,279 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 3: It felt a bit like watching Top Gun.

642
00:29:47,079 --> 00:29:50,359
Speaker 2: You know, these two aces that were challenging one another,

643
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,599
trying to outmaneuver one another, and it felt like Caate

644
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,480
heard all the noise of like, well, well, actually, you know,

645
00:29:55,599 --> 00:29:57,920
Kyson's got better numbers. Kison might be the better guy here.

646
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,319
You mentioned the fifty scouts in the stands. Is that

647
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:06,759
a trait that you see in those kind of superstar

648
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,079
pitchers that when they're when they have somebody who's line

649
00:30:10,119 --> 00:30:12,599
up across from that's also great. And they got all

650
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,400
the scouts in the stands and they just managed to raise.

651
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,119
Speaker 3: Their level of play.

652
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,519
Speaker 7: Yeah, and they did. And by the way, that's the

653
00:30:19,559 --> 00:30:22,079
second top gun reference I've heard in two days, so

654
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:27,960
about Kilmer recipe. Uh, you know, yeah, And I think

655
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,960
that's what the scouts want to see too, like can

656
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,160
you rise to the occasion like last night. I would

657
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,640
not say that the ballpark was electric because it was

658
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,279
not because of the weather and you know, it just

659
00:30:38,279 --> 00:30:42,079
didn't have a ton of people out there. Other than that, well,

660
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,039
I think it's I think I think it's a nice part.

661
00:30:45,079 --> 00:30:47,000
But when you start comparing it to stark Bill or

662
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,599
Ousebox or yeah, you know, it's not. I mean, we've

663
00:30:50,599 --> 00:30:52,839
got some big league ballparks in the SEC, you know.

664
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,319
But outside of that, the the the atmosphere of a

665
00:30:57,519 --> 00:30:59,960
of a big league game was definitely present. I mean

666
00:31:00,079 --> 00:31:03,720
it was Tyson Kyson threw well, I mean Jared Jones

667
00:31:03,759 --> 00:31:05,759
had the nice at bat. Well my three two counties

668
00:31:05,759 --> 00:31:08,200
a slider the other way, which is not something I

669
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,880
don't think Jared Jones was capable of doing two years ago.

670
00:31:11,079 --> 00:31:13,400
He would have swung right through that pitch, and that

671
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,200
shows the maturity of Jared and why he's doing so

672
00:31:16,279 --> 00:31:19,279
well this year. But yeah, I think the answer is

673
00:31:19,319 --> 00:31:21,119
of course, I mean they stepped in and that's and

674
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:22,759
both those guys are gonna make a lot of money

675
00:31:22,759 --> 00:31:25,400
at the next level. You know, Kate Anderson's a draft

676
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,480
eligible sophomore, Kyson Witherspoon looking to be one of the

677
00:31:28,519 --> 00:31:30,319
top picks, and you're looking at two of the best

678
00:31:30,519 --> 00:31:32,720
by the numbers, they're two of the best three pitchers

679
00:31:32,759 --> 00:31:35,119
in the league. Other than at Peto cone Fro Mississippi State,

680
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,640
William Spence over at University of Tennessee is really dealing well.

681
00:31:38,839 --> 00:31:40,680
Hunter Elliott has a lot of talent at Ole miss

682
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,839
But you know, those two guys we saw last night

683
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:43,960
are as good as it gets.

684
00:31:45,319 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 8: Getting to the top of Lshu's line of Curry El

685
00:31:48,519 --> 00:31:51,400
somebody that as a freshman has just been outstanding and

686
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,079
like I know, he struck out three times last night,

687
00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:55,279
but still continues to get on base, got to hit

688
00:31:55,799 --> 00:31:59,119
last night, and typically you just don't see a freshman

689
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,000
lead off a lineup of an LSU team that's going

690
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,839
to be in the top ten we think all season long,

691
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,720
and you're having guys that are able to come in

692
00:32:06,799 --> 00:32:10,480
now and contribute like right away. And it's impressive how

693
00:32:10,559 --> 00:32:13,359
these freshmen, you know, had a plate discipline and can

694
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,200
go out there and be the table setter for a

695
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:16,559
lineup like LSU's.

696
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 7: We're living in a day and age where LSU the

697
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,680
transfer rules without fenalty and an nil and everything else

698
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,799
that goes into it. There's only a handful of colleges

699
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,880
that anybody in the country would want to go to

700
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,880
and play. LSU's one of them. Texas, you know, there's

701
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,000
a few out there, so you just can't swing and

702
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,720
miss with prospects. And for Ja Johnson, he's been watching

703
00:32:38,119 --> 00:32:40,839
Derek Curry el since he was in junior high and

704
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,279
when Jay Johnson was at Arizona, so he's had a

705
00:32:44,279 --> 00:32:46,079
track on this kid for a long long time. It

706
00:32:46,079 --> 00:32:48,920
shows you, first of all, the capabilities of a guy

707
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,759
like Jay Johnson to pick talent, but also the curiyer

708
00:32:51,759 --> 00:32:54,599
Ol walks in there as a freshman, like you said,

709
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,119
and does well even in the SEC and that's hard

710
00:32:58,119 --> 00:33:00,839
to do. And you know, if you're gonna win. You've

711
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,440
got to have those type of players perform for you.

712
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,119
If there's one thing to see a guy and think

713
00:33:05,119 --> 00:33:07,000
that he's good, but it's another thing for him to

714
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,960
play out that way. And Derek Caryll had three strikeouts,

715
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,440
but he still got the base hit. I tell my

716
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,960
son all the time in college baseball, one hit a date.

717
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,119
Don't make it complicated. You don't have to get three

718
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,079
or four. Get one hit a day. And if you

719
00:33:18,119 --> 00:33:20,079
can do that, you're going to hit for a high average.

720
00:33:20,079 --> 00:33:22,119
And Derek Carrole's doing that. He didn't have a great

721
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,759
game last night, but he did pop the double left field,

722
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,119
and you know, and and that's the hitter that he is.

723
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,440
I mean, he's gonna get you once and that was

724
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,519
a huge hit, by the way in that game. He's

725
00:33:33,519 --> 00:33:35,519
gonna get you at some point. And if he doesn't,

726
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:37,920
one of those next eight guys are. You know, you

727
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,119
had Tanneeves in the lineup last night, you had Ethan

728
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,440
Fry in there. And now you're starting to see these

729
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,559
guys that got off to a good start that's still

730
00:33:44,599 --> 00:33:46,759
been sitting the bench getting a chance to play. And

731
00:33:46,839 --> 00:33:50,359
Jay Johnson's gonna put nine strong hitters in the lineup,

732
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,160
even if it gives up a little defense, which I

733
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,759
don't think it does. He's gonna put nine guys out

734
00:33:54,759 --> 00:33:56,559
there to swing the bat, so that picture on the

735
00:33:56,559 --> 00:33:59,200
other side just has no no rest, no no no

736
00:33:59,319 --> 00:33:59,960
easy outs.

737
00:34:01,119 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 2: Well, and I loved hearing you talk last night kind

738
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,880
of about your hitting theory. It was like modern hitting theory,

739
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,200
you know, and you knew like if I get up

740
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,000
there one hundred times, I make contact one hundred times,

741
00:34:10,039 --> 00:34:12,800
just don't strike out, like chances are things are going

742
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,360
to end well for me. I'm gonna hit for average.

743
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,679
And last night felt like a workmanlike type of Knight right,

744
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,119
Like I mean you, with Kyson and k doing what

745
00:34:22,159 --> 00:34:25,039
they were doing, there was not a lot of room

746
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,400
to find success. How did you feel, because I thought

747
00:34:28,559 --> 00:34:31,559
LSU keeping the strikeout numbers low after the first two

748
00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:34,360
getting fanned was very impressive to me. How did you

749
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,000
feel about LSU's approach and the quality of the bats,

750
00:34:38,039 --> 00:34:40,599
even if it wasn't always resulting in runs or hits.

751
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that's a great point. And it was

752
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,039
no balls left the ballpark last night, and so it

753
00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:50,199
was in the first four hits they ended up with

754
00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:52,719
eleven hits both teams on the day, but the first

755
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,960
four or five hits went the opposite direction. Yeah, So

756
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,320
it was just it was just getting deep in counts

757
00:34:57,679 --> 00:34:59,960
and think what the picture gives. This kind of typical

758
00:35:00,039 --> 00:35:01,719
what you always hear as a hitter, like, don't try

759
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,119
to do too much. And back to Jared Jones at bat.

760
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,800
You know that was a three two count. A lot

761
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,440
of times as a hitter, you'll try to pull it,

762
00:35:07,599 --> 00:35:09,280
try to get the head out, you know, and really

763
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,159
bash it to left the pull side and hit a

764
00:35:11,159 --> 00:35:13,760
five hundred foot home run. He stayed back on that slider,

765
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,000
ripped it the other way and that was really impressive.

766
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:19,360
But you're right, it was a workman's day for sure

767
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,320
with these hitters. Just and that's I think the evolution

768
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,679
of LSU offense, like when since Jay's been there, I mean,

769
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:30,039
he's an offensive guy and so he obviously knows how

770
00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:32,039
to hit and how to make an approach. I think

771
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:33,599
I looked it up the day. You know, we got

772
00:35:33,599 --> 00:35:35,599
true media all these statues. You only have anything in

773
00:35:35,599 --> 00:35:37,559
the world right now, And one of the things was

774
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:42,960
LSU's pitches per plate appearance as a team was about

775
00:35:43,039 --> 00:35:46,000
you know, three nine like right up under four pitches

776
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,599
per plate appearance as a team which was tossed in

777
00:35:48,679 --> 00:35:51,480
the league. And so they're just being more patient. And

778
00:35:51,519 --> 00:35:53,400
I've always said the more you face the picture, more

779
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,000
becomes a hitter's advantage because now you see the tempo,

780
00:35:56,119 --> 00:35:58,400
the timing, the least point, you got a muscle memory

781
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,880
of the pitches that he throws. Once you see it once,

782
00:36:01,199 --> 00:36:02,920
you can see how to hit it the second time,

783
00:36:03,199 --> 00:36:05,039
that type of stuff. And so I think you're seeing

784
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:08,000
patience throughout this lineup, and it paid off last night.

785
00:36:08,519 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 3: Yeah.

786
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,079
Speaker 8: One of the things they didn't even have to use

787
00:36:10,159 --> 00:36:12,679
last night, Todd that they certainly have and you'll see

788
00:36:12,679 --> 00:36:15,440
this weekend is Zach, Collen Case and Evans out.

789
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 3: Of the bullpen.

790
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 8: And I know l s Hu's bullpen, maybe it's totality

791
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,519
has had some struggles, but they got two guys down there.

792
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,679
Now when you they bring them in, I mean it's

793
00:36:23,679 --> 00:36:26,519
in those high leverage situations you got to go win

794
00:36:26,559 --> 00:36:26,920
the game.

795
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,639
Speaker 3: Do you think like with the current format that they

796
00:36:29,679 --> 00:36:30,119
have with.

797
00:36:30,079 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 8: Their starters, with those two guys out of the bullpen

798
00:36:32,599 --> 00:36:36,320
and maybe one day getting Gavin Guidry back in the fold,

799
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,039
there is that like, is that enough to make the

800
00:36:38,119 --> 00:36:39,360
run that this team wants to make?

801
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,639
Speaker 7: Per I mean, they almost made a superreason last year

802
00:36:43,679 --> 00:36:45,599
and they didn't have a third starter and they certainly

803
00:36:45,599 --> 00:36:49,039
didn't have the bullten that they have this year therein

804
00:36:49,519 --> 00:36:52,960
you know, I I everything about this LSU team shows

805
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,960
you they'll be in Omaha. And then at that point,

806
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,760
it's just you know, winning a one run game and

807
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,880
they love it. That's hard to that's hard to predict.

808
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,159
But uh but but I hesitated because of Tennessee a

809
00:37:02,199 --> 00:37:05,280
couple of years ago. They had a world class team

810
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,159
and Notre Dame as a veteran group walked in there

811
00:37:08,199 --> 00:37:10,440
and beyond a super regional and so at Tennessee didn't

812
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,679
even make the college was serious. So it's definitely a

813
00:37:12,679 --> 00:37:13,280
weird game.

814
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 3: We know that.

815
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,519
Speaker 7: But right now they're doing everything right. They call it

816
00:37:17,519 --> 00:37:20,559
a two headed monster with you know, Evan and Zach

817
00:37:20,599 --> 00:37:25,239
and a Bullfen and it's just it's just nasty. And

818
00:37:25,559 --> 00:37:28,440
that's why. Also, I thought that you see Zach in

819
00:37:28,519 --> 00:37:31,000
the ninth last night and he didn't come in, so

820
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,599
good for them. They've got a bolt now for the

821
00:37:33,639 --> 00:37:36,199
next two games, and they're set up pretty nicely for

822
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,079
this series, and I think they said it was the

823
00:37:39,079 --> 00:37:42,119
best start LSU's had, you know, in the SEC in

824
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,400
fifteen twenty years. So I mean that's saying a lot

825
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:48,480
considering the program. But but they're they're they're the only

826
00:37:48,519 --> 00:37:50,199
spuest Mark Frellis, who was the left side of the

827
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,920
enfield defensively because Mila moved over to short, but he

828
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,920
made a couple of really nice plays last night. And

829
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,079
then the third base, you know, with with whether it's

830
00:37:59,079 --> 00:38:02,440
Braswell or Ree, they're solid there too. So there really

831
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,559
is no holes in this LSU team.

832
00:38:05,079 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 8: Todd, last one before we let you go and ask

833
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:12,039
you an SEC question. You've got Florida, Mississippi State, South Carolina,

834
00:38:12,079 --> 00:38:14,719
and Texas A and m all those teams are one

835
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,760
and eight in SEC play. I don't think any of

836
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,639
us had those teams sitting there after nine games in

837
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,760
league play. But of those teams, do you see one

838
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,239
of them that can actually make a run and maybe

839
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,639
they can make it in a regional where they're a

840
00:38:29,639 --> 00:38:32,079
two seed and maybe they can get to a super regional,

841
00:38:32,119 --> 00:38:34,239
Like is there anything left from any of those teams?

842
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:35,079
Speaker 3: Or is it too late?

843
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,760
Speaker 7: No, it's not too late. I mean remember LSU last

844
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,639
year's three and twelve in the conference before they made

845
00:38:41,639 --> 00:38:44,519
a little bit of a run. The thirteen wins within

846
00:38:44,639 --> 00:38:47,199
the conference is that magic number that'll get the eyes

847
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:48,800
of the committee to put you in the field of

848
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,239
sixty four thirteen wins. So however you can figure that out.

849
00:38:53,679 --> 00:38:56,119
It is crazy to look at the standings right now

850
00:38:56,159 --> 00:38:58,440
in the SEC and see Texas A and M, who

851
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,119
was the preseason number one team in the country, sitting

852
00:39:01,199 --> 00:39:04,360
down there. Jace Lovulette is one of the best prospects

853
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,400
in the league right now, and he's getting hot. He's

854
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,719
up narrow around three hundred. He was covering around two

855
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,880
twenty for a long time. Think he's got nine home

856
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,760
runs right now. Texas A and M has Frager and

857
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:18,079
Justin Lampkin and who else they got up there. They've

858
00:39:18,119 --> 00:39:21,480
got three legitimate started Miles Patton. They've got three legitimate

859
00:39:21,519 --> 00:39:24,079
starters that are doing their job. The offense just hasn't

860
00:39:24,119 --> 00:39:26,760
been there. They lost Grohovac for the year, the big

861
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,880
freshman from last year. I think Texans A and M

862
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,239
will make a run just based on the pitching alone.

863
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,039
It's weird to see Florida down there because they're really

864
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,280
just a good group and Kevin O'Sullivan does a nice

865
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,119
job there, and you know, shoots, they've always been in Omaha.

866
00:39:39,199 --> 00:39:44,639
It seems like they're a mainstake. They lost their eighth Cupola,

867
00:39:45,159 --> 00:39:48,960
Pierce Capola, the big sixt eight left hander on if once.

868
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,480
Then if they get him back, I think you'll see

869
00:39:51,519 --> 00:39:52,920
them make a little bit of a run. They're not

870
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,800
hitting the ball like you thought they would. They're still

871
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,079
up over three hundred as a team, but they need

872
00:39:58,079 --> 00:40:00,079
to get their ace back because then it shoves every

873
00:40:00,079 --> 00:40:03,039
body up a day on the weekends. And you know,

874
00:40:03,199 --> 00:40:05,039
if your number two was supposed to be your number one,

875
00:40:05,079 --> 00:40:07,440
you would have made them the number one to begin with. So, uh,

876
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:12,159
Florida just has rotation issues. Missouri's Missouri. Uh, they're gonna

877
00:40:12,159 --> 00:40:15,480
have a rough go, but uh it was it was

878
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:17,599
the fourth team down there.

879
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,519
Speaker 8: In Mississippi State A and m South Carolina, Florida, Yeah.

880
00:40:22,039 --> 00:40:24,599
Speaker 7: And Mississippi State. I mean they've lost like after the

881
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,119
LSU series. I think they had lost three one run

882
00:40:27,159 --> 00:40:30,000
games and three two run games out of the first

883
00:40:30,079 --> 00:40:32,519
nine games of the of the season, you know, and

884
00:40:32,559 --> 00:40:35,280
so they've been in everyone in Cocone like I mentioned

885
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,000
is one of the best in the league. They're hitting

886
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,159
the ball. They hit three hundred as a team, forty

887
00:40:39,159 --> 00:40:41,800
four home runs coming into this weekend. They're picking it.

888
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,079
Let me look at their No, they're not. They're they're

889
00:40:46,119 --> 00:40:48,360
down to the bottom defensively, so they've kicked the ball

890
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,760
around for you. But but the pitching staff is a

891
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,559
sub for e r too. So uh, the numbers are

892
00:40:53,599 --> 00:40:55,639
good for Mississippi State. I think you'll see them make

893
00:40:55,639 --> 00:40:57,920
a run. But it's weekend and week out. You never

894
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,760
can really predict outside of anybody that plays Missouri who's

895
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,320
gonna win. But we'll see, man, I mean we'll see.

896
00:41:05,559 --> 00:41:07,840
I think those all three of those teams. It's weird

897
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,639
to see them at the bottom of that deal. And

898
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,760
remember when we get to Hoover, all sixteen teams make

899
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,519
it now, so it's a single donation thing. So you

900
00:41:17,559 --> 00:41:20,599
know you can you can be anybody and have a

901
00:41:20,639 --> 00:41:22,880
good week and make a run and then make it

902
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,280
into the postseason. I think last year LSU had eleven

903
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,960
teams into the field of sixty four, which was a record,

904
00:41:28,199 --> 00:41:30,559
and now we have sixteen teams in the league. I

905
00:41:30,559 --> 00:41:32,920
think you'll see more than that this year. Twelve thirteen

906
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,000
teams in the postseason.

907
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 2: Todd Walker number twelve, the legend himself. Excellent job of

908
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,039
the call last night, Todd thank you so much, man.

909
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 7: Man, I don't need my coffee listening to you now.

910
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,039
I love the energy. I'm ready to roll now.

911
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, boh you have a good day, man, and yeah

912
00:41:50,119 --> 00:41:50,679
join your week.

913
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 7: Appreciated brother, Thank you guys, all right, boba oh man.

914
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,119
Speaker 2: One of the best to ever do it. Hall of

915
00:41:56,159 --> 00:42:01,079
Famer Jersey retired Todd Walker. Graham called Green voice too. Yeah,

916
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,280
you got some baritone in that thing.

917
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,199
Speaker 5: I love him on the cal no no, I.

918
00:42:05,199 --> 00:42:08,199
Speaker 2: Kind of chew on his voice a little bit. All right,

919
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,519
let's go ahead and close out our two of OTV.

920
00:42:10,639 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: Next off the bench.

Speaker 2: As I said, you want a great option hop into rouses.

924

this weekend, you can buy them, boil them yourself, or

940
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,599
buy him already boiled from Rouses throughout this season, and

941
00:43:00,639 --> 00:43:02,599
all your fictions and everything else that you neique, because

942
00:43:02,639 --> 00:43:06,679
Rous's is Louisiana from the original brick up. So no

943
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:10,519
matter what you got going down this weekend, the last

944
00:43:10,519 --> 00:43:12,679
way to get ready is to get into Rouses.

945
00:43:13,519 --> 00:43:16,639
Speaker 1: Welcome in to the best morning sports, this show around

946
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,519
Off the Bench with Hester and.

947
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 8: T Bob all right, welcome back in OTB one of

948
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,760
four five ESPN Beton Rouge.

949
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:25,559
Speaker 3: I don't know I've heard this one.

950
00:43:26,679 --> 00:43:29,280
Speaker 4: Look, a lot of people have been wondering my favorite

951
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:30,119
Nickelback song.

952
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 6: That one's it.

953
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 3: We've all been wondering.

954
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,280
Speaker 4: I know it's a big conversation, but I'll let the

955
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,119
people know it's this one. This is animals.

956
00:43:39,199 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 8: It is about intercourse all right, yeah, wild behavior that

957
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,280
you said it so aggressively.

958
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 5: It's about intercourse.

959
00:43:49,519 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 3: Well, good luck tonight. Hope they play this for you.

960
00:43:52,639 --> 00:43:57,199
They will be good luck after I don't even know

961
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:58,000
where to go from there.

962
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 8: It's like anything that I say now is going to

963
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:04,519
be tied into the intercourse song are. I did write

964
00:44:04,519 --> 00:44:08,199
an article for louisianasports dot Net and it's about the

965
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:13,199
NFL Draft Purgatory because it's an all season like you've

966
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:13,880
never had.

967
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,679
Speaker 3: Before if you're a football player. So check that out.

968
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 8: Because we are such creatures of habit, we get into

969
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,519
our routines of hey, the season ends and we got

970
00:44:22,519 --> 00:44:24,800
a week off, and then you get into all season training,

971
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,639
fourth quarter spring, a week off, you know, you're get

972
00:44:27,639 --> 00:44:30,480
into summer workouts, you get into camp. Well, this is

973
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,920
like the first off season that's ever different for all

974
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:37,199
of these players. It is the most mental gymnastics that

975
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,280
you will ever ever go through. So I kind of

976
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,840
gave my experience a timeline of how this is. To

977
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,280
check that out on louisianasports dot Net. We'll be back

978
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:51,880
our number three of OTB Off the bench, all right,

979
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,440
go to Katz Blinds dot com kt OZ Blinds dot

980
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,800
Com and they've done so much for me. And like

981
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,639
we always talk about our outdoor shade that we have,

982
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:05,400
and this is true. Like it covers our little patio area.

983
00:45:05,559 --> 00:45:08,159
Like Harlow, our daughter loves going out there because she

984
00:45:08,199 --> 00:45:11,079
loves being outside. Well, this is a way for her

985
00:45:11,159 --> 00:45:14,119
to be outside, but kind of in a controlled environment.

986
00:45:14,159 --> 00:45:16,360
It's not going to be too hot in there either.

987
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,480
That shade is going to block the sun. It also

988
00:45:19,599 --> 00:45:22,159
like it blocks our living room, so like it cools

989
00:45:22,159 --> 00:45:24,719
it off during the heat of July and August and

990
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,039
September and actually saves us on some energy bills. But

991
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,480
even if it's like a Roman shade for our kitchen,

992
00:45:30,519 --> 00:45:32,480
which they've done, I mean they can literally do it

993
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,440
all inside and outside. Kta Ze Interiors and Outdoor Living.
