Speaker 1: All start to what you want to present. Some off
the bench with Jacob Hester and T bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Off the bench with Jacob Hester and T bob Abert.
Speaker 3: Off the pitch.
Speaker 1: Now here's Jacob Hester and T bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Jeez, the consequences of my own actions. Turns out it's
not a good idea to drink four days in a
row anymore. But I had a great time, dude, unreal.
I gotta give a shout out to uh to one
of my favorite restaurants here in ben Rouge. Had the
best time Absorbers on Saturday, surprised wifey with a little Mother's.
Speaker 3: Day date and uh oh.
Speaker 2: I mean I love Greek Mediterranean food to begin with,
but Vibes fantastic. They have this delicious uh Greek red
that you can't even find at Total Wine, and they
get brought in from some like I believe they're actually
from Cyprus, from some like village at Cypress, I don't know.
Speaker 3: It was awesome. I had nocchi for the first time.
Speaker 2: Fantastic, absolutely fantastic, So shout out to us, this is
a great time. And then you know, classic superior whatnot
can't go wrong?
Speaker 3: Fididas.
Speaker 2: Dude can never go wrong with vetas.
Speaker 3: Make sure they're not chicken. According to Tea Bot.
Speaker 2: I mean, I still I stand by it. I think
I'm wrong. I think I'm wrong, even though I don't know.
I watched that FATA station for probably thirty total minutes
yesterday because Bobby loves to just stand there and watch.
Speaker 3: Them make the vetas.
Speaker 2: And I like it too, to be honest, It's really
cool watching all the like cast iron plates just sitting
there over flames, just.
Speaker 3: Like, ooh, this is a hat.
Speaker 2: And then you watch him drop the onions on there.
Speaker 3: Immediately. I bet you could smell you from a mile away.
Speaker 2: The thing is, dude, it uh. I saw one chicken
plate the whole time I was watching vetas fe made.
Saw a lot of steak. It saw a lot of shrimp.
So I'm buttering up with the big old butter brush.
I only saw one chicken veta plate.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, can we ask squad Bob to make
sure that story's real? Though? Uh? Well, he's dumb and
he can't talk, you know.
Speaker 2: He can kind of throw some words together that vaguely
sound like English, but no, Hellotle idiots still can't talk,
so he's gonna be of no use to you in
this debate. Dude, these headphones annoying me so bad. They're
like finally shorted out, just completely.
Speaker 3: I can't I can't get him to stay on. Sorry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So Aaron Rodgers is gonna be the Saints next quarterback. Guys,
breaking news broke it at the end.
Speaker 3: Of our one.
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding, it's not.
Speaker 3: I think I would be.
Speaker 2: I think I would be interested in I think i'd
be interested in Rogers soon. I wouldn't go like uh,
I wouldn't go like insane for it, but you know,
it'd be.
Speaker 3: It'd be. It'd be exciting.
Speaker 2: It'd be exciting for the potential of, like, I don't know,
a Tyler shuck unless he just completely blows you away.
He probably could use a year. But actually, the Tyler
shuck factor is probably why Aaron when it come here, right,
because he's not gonna wanna sit. Yeah, and that is
potentially in play here where that's not potentially play in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, the Pittsburgh situation is not the most
intriguing for what he's looking for. We kind of started
talking about it last hour the weapons aren't great. You
trade pickings, you didn't draft somebody like you thought you
were going to to be a game changer on offense. Right,
So he kind of got one receiver, you've got a
you got a solid tied end, and you've got a
running back who's only been a secondary piece because Nage
Harris is no longer there.
Speaker 3: It's not very intriguing.
Speaker 4: You're gonna play in some elements, for sure, which he's
done in both stops that he's been in, But at
this point in your career, like a dome does sound
more intriguing.
Speaker 3: You're gonna play some tough teams.
Speaker 4: I mean, you look at the teams that you're gonna
have to face, like even the Browns, who are not
a great football team, they've got a pretty good defense. Yeah,
and you've got the best edge rusher in football coming
after you with bad intention. So there's not a lot
of like intriguing things. If I'm a you know, over
forty year old quarterback looking for my next landing spot.
Speaker 3: No, no, that's true. That's fair.
Speaker 2: So maybe he just ends up calling quich too like
Derek Carter could, which is definitely potentially in play. And
Rogers has said as much himself this offseason. Uh, if
you missed our one two, we open talking LSU baseball
as it was just a massive weekend for the Tigers.
Another magical one thirty am, actually one is it in
a one seventeen on the dot? You said, yeah, another
magical one seventeen walk off a m U then into
a very comfortable game too, and we'll gues Game three
doesn't go as you quite wanted it. I think they
were there, there, there, there were There was some good
fight displayed. The bullpen I thought did well after getting
in the early hole, kind of holding the rope and
giving yourself a chance. And yeah, Arkisa ends up getting
one in the and A that's targetsas it's you know,
that's a team that everybody, like we alluded to everybody
who saying was the most complete team in the country
coming into this weekend. Actually, Taylor, can you get me
the Bear Jones walk off? I just realized we didn't
play it, Uh, and nour number one, Let's let's let's
play that week in bask in the in the glory
that was Bear Jones being involved in another one seventeen
absolute thriller.
Speaker 5: Yeah, despite the loss, I do think that, you know,
Chase Shores coming out the bullpen and Cason Evans gave
up some runs but still did an okay job starting
You kind of found you kind of found what you're
gonna do on that third day or on Sundays a
little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like it's gonna be Evans for as
long as he can give you, and then you're gonna maybe, yeah,
like Shores probably extended a little bit and maybe kind
of just figure it out.
Speaker 3: Who are the other arms?
Speaker 2: So look, I'm gonna go ahead, and I'm counting Shores
as a pretty dependable arm now, I think so. Obviously
Callen duh right number one the bullet. Who else are
we feeling bullish about?
Speaker 3: At this point?
Speaker 6: He wasn't great? It is out in this weekend. Maverck
Rizzy has been pretty.
Speaker 7: Good though up until then, Yeah.
Speaker 6: DJ Primo has been pretty good. Yeah, up until neither again,
neither of them were great this weekend, but up until then,
both of those guys are good. So as far as
lefties like Primo A and Cooper Williams probably your top lefties. Yeah,
Maverick Frizzy.
Speaker 2: You love how giant the l shoe pictures are they're
all just mass un for like ninety eight.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I think out of all those, I'm probably
the most bullish on Brizzy.
Speaker 2: Dan says, wait until TV hounds out they don't cook
the meat on the skillet, just a presentation. No, I
know that I was watching.
Speaker 3: I told you.
Speaker 2: I said they were watching for thirty minutes. Yeah, you
cooking on the grill. But that's what I'm saying. They
have those cast irons just all the open flame, just
getting so so so hot. So then yeah, then you
dump your onions on. They start of steam, you know, caramelized,
get all tasty out of love feet of onions. Yeah,
and then you have your meat already cut up, you
drop it on there warms back up. It's it's great.
How the the the process we all know the Pavlovian
response that you get from a from a faji to
plate walking by you at a restaurant.
Speaker 3: I think it's fantastic.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the process of serving it, I think is
one of the best ways to be served food because
it's piping hot, ready to go, feels fresh again.
Speaker 4: You're just gonna wear it all day. That's only That's
the only thing negative part about fatas. Yeah, yeah, but
you know, no, you know what you're getting into when
you do that. Yeah, you know what you're getting into,
Like you know how take a shower afterwards. That's usually
something I would do. Yes, I get judged for it
sometimes on this show.
Speaker 2: The uh beans, rice, sour cream, squawk, pico, shrimp, steak,
butter sauce, onions, whatever that little sauce is that they
give you their diaper.
Speaker 3: It's one of the best bites of.
Speaker 2: Food, said little surf and turf.
Speaker 3: If you will, you don't like trimp and your vetas.
Speaker 5: I don't think I've ever gotten shrimp fijetas before. No,
I don't think so.
Speaker 4: I think I just steak or steak and chicken combo.
Speaker 7: So I normally do the trio.
Speaker 3: Now you can't had money.
Speaker 6: The trio is normally like two dollars and you get
the three met like that's the way to go.
Speaker 7: That's what I normally do. Where we were didn't do
the tree.
Speaker 6: It was either whatever I went, chicken and trimp fahita, onion, cologne.
Speaker 2: I'm in great text. It's got it for so somebody. Yeah,
we're gonna have a video. Hold on there, Hold on there.
I wanted to I think I oh, Nookie says Evans
and Shores do not add up to one competent starter. Sorry,
the bullpen is a real concern. I mean, look, the bullpen, well.
Speaker 5: Okay, it's not that they're a competent starter. It's that
they're probably the best combination that you have option wise
that day.
Speaker 2: Every team's gonna have strengths and weaknesses, damn near every team.
The bullpen is a concern. That's just how baseball works.
But even if you want to say that LSU's bullpen
is more of a concern, you know what, those other
teams don't have Kate Anderson and Anthony Iinsen. No, it's
a lot of pressure on Anderson and Ionsen to just
keep doing what they've been doing. But yeah, that's ay
strength that offsets a lot of weaknesses.
Speaker 6: Well, and it doesn't have to be a competent starter.
Can Evans and Shores be good enough to piece together
or win because that's what you're looking for. Competence starter,
not competence starter, like can you win with them? Because
that's all that matters at the end of the day. Anyways,
And look, people are talking about this bullpen. I want
to give Ben McDonald credit. I heard him say this
on Saturday, so I don't know if it's changed after
the game yesterday when Arkansas put up some runs, but
Ben McDonald said, the top to bottom staff era best
it's been this year since twenty fifteen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2: I mean if we just look at the if you
just look at the numbers, because I mean generally LSU
during this run. Now maybe not the year they won
the national championship, but it's kind of been a lot
of middle.
Speaker 3: The pack stuff.
Speaker 2: I feel like TmrA wise even even and then last
year even being very low for a lot of the year.
So I think, again, you know, this is a team
where they're so good in areas and obviously they're going
to be a top eight national seat in all likelihood,
and so you know you have championship potential, and so
when the stakes are that high, then the flaws feel
more pronounced because you so desperately don't want that to
be the thing that holds you back from lifting the troupe.
Speaker 4: I mean they have they have some arms that make
it difficult to get a hit, but it's the walks really. Yeah,
you look at at Connor ware like he's got a
five to three to one er, but hitters are only
batting a buck seventy six on him. But in twenty
innings pitch he's given up fourteen walks. You go to
Cooper Williams and as eras better, it's one point four
to six. But in twelve innings he's walked nine guys
and hit three batters, but teams are only hitting a
buck sixty seven against him. I mean, so, like there's
a lot of guys that are coming in and missing bats,
are you know, not getting solid contact, but it's the
walks that are getting them in trouble because then it's
like even like a week single, if you've walked two guys,
that's going to score a run probably, you know.
Speaker 3: So it's like keeping the free.
Speaker 4: Passes off the base pass because they've got some guys. Again,
like you look at a batting average against, and there's
a lot of guys that are either at you know,
right at two hundred batting average against. Are there, you know,
buck sixty seven, there's some that are under one, but
the era just doesn't match it.
Speaker 2: Goldsale says the staff era as due to cade Eines
and Evans and Kallen.
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, yeah, exclude four guys.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean so again, that's that's kind of like,
does it matter if it's from everybody or like your
STAFFI ra is what it is.
Speaker 7: Those are the guys that are pitching on the.
Speaker 2: World, and it's still well, exactly right. So those guys
that are gonna pitch it, it matters, and then your other
guys are still factoring in around the edges, just like
they'll factor in around the edges during a run.
Speaker 3: So I think too.
Speaker 2: It's a bit like one of Jake's pet peeves when
you say, well, if you take out this ADR run
the only average two yards Gary, Well, it's like, don't
I don't think it was a take out money.
Speaker 3: It's not allowed count how many? How many?
Speaker 2: How many teams if you take out their top four
pitchers are like, we feel very confident.
Speaker 5: Le Doyle out He's yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think I think. I think we're getting
into it with Sean, he says a local fans. We
focus on l s U. Trust me, we're much better
shape than most every other team. I think, yes, we again,
because we talked so much else you we highlight the
flaws and get insecure about them. Sorry, the walks around.
Speaker 5: I was just gonna say, yeah, the walks are what
are gonna get you. Yeah, especially in the SEC. You
can't give up free bases like that.
Speaker 3: No, that's walks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's why Cad and you know, Anthony Iinson
are so good at Like Cad seventy six and a
third only walk twenty Anthony Iinson seventy four and the
third innings pitch and only walk twenty seven. But then
you got somebody like, you know, young young player are
going to be incredibly he is incredibly talented, going to
be big. William Schmidt in thirty and two thirds is
walk twenty Yeah, that's that's like, that's that's the biggest difference,
Maverick Rizzy who we're talking about twenty one to two
thirds innings pitched walk eighteen.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So like Anthony ns and Kate Anderson, they're not walking guys.
They're striking everybody out and like their numbers compared to
everybody else on the team. So that's been probably the
biggest issue for this team.
Speaker 2: Uh but hell of a weekend for LSU winning the
series against Arkansas now twelve and two at home in
the SEC and in the catbird seat for that national seat.
Speaker 3: And here's what it.
Speaker 2: Sounded and looked like Friday night, Bear Jones on third base.
The chance to win the game if you get managed
a cross home.
Speaker 8: This is lobbed out towards center caught by the center fielder.
Speaker 3: Here comes Jared Donalds a throw the play the other ship.
Speaker 6: Tigers win it, but Arkansas, it's going to ask for
a review.
Speaker 3: Was right down there.
Speaker 2: Good play the game playing, just running the sound, just
keep playing, keep playing.
Speaker 3: Look at this like it was really pretty fast. It wouldn't.
Speaker 2: Oh, I thought it looked pretty slow.
Speaker 7: You know, that was shallow in the.
Speaker 2: Very shallow and it was a good throw. I just said,
I thought it looked a little.
Speaker 7: That's not a warning track hit.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's can I say that?
Speaker 4: Like one of my pet peeves used to be like
when a receiver used to act like p I throw
a flag, throw a flag. And then it turned to
basketball where they're doing like the you know, the worthy
bird like review review. The go to the headphones signal
is my least favorite.
Speaker 3: Oh really, I hate it.
Speaker 4: I despise it as soon as a close play immediately
right here, headphones Headpbones, Headphones.
Speaker 3: I'm like, we know they're gonna review it, Bud.
Speaker 2: So did we get I want to see a great angle.
I don't think I remember seeing actually a great angle
of the h of the replay. How close did he
get to get them?
Speaker 5: I don't think it was close.
Speaker 3: The broadcast didn't really do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, and they called it pretty quick. Oka, like
the review didn't take too long.
Speaker 2: Okay, but there it was dude Bear Jones involved in
another who was up?
Speaker 3: Fry? Who actually was up?
Speaker 2: It was? Yeah, there you go, the big boys, the
Bash Brothers combining for a little one seventeen walk off dub.
Speaker 3: We love to see it.
Speaker 5: And then there was one that they reviewed. I don't
remember which one it was. I think it was Saturday,
Milam and he didn't even touch him at all and
they called him out. And then there was Friday, Saturday, Saturday.
Speaker 3: Friday Friday. That was when they scored two runs in
the seventh. Yeah. Yeah, he knew immediately, Yeah he knew immediately.
Go to the head set.
Speaker 2: Oh this, okay, here's a great angle. Taylor dug up
potentially god Beers slide. He hit the ground heavy, huh,
and the earth splitting around.
Speaker 5: That's funny.
Speaker 2: Shout out to the tigers. Uh, Myers does throw.
Speaker 8: Heat at laundro he does. I agree, Yeah, I don't
know how long he can give it to you for
he's somebody, he's somebody that's intriguing to get one and spitch.
That's why my man walk fifteen four people.
Speaker 5: When you ask, like, I kind of I like Jacob Myers,
but he does not have too much control and we
haven't seen enough of him for me to be like, okay,
yeah I want him in there. But yeah, he throws
heat and he's tall, so it looks like it's coming
at you a little faster than what it is. Same
thing with Chase Shores, Like I.
Speaker 3: Think average against is zero nine to four.
Speaker 7: Well, he's just terrible.
Speaker 2: No, it's pretty pretty alloy out right.
Speaker 3: When they had.
Speaker 6: From Boulder, that's that's your Jacobs is you don't know
where it's gonna go. Might hit the mascotah, but it's coming.
Speaker 3: Yeah up there like an egg.
Speaker 2: Justin Pate says, uh, what about uh? Or what about
Jay John's agett toss?
Speaker 5: Yeah, guess you're kind of uneventful toss.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I did like a little John Boy lip reading kind
of thing. And it was like, while I was trying
to look very very closely to me, it looked like
you flinched, you missed that, or something like that. Like
it sounded like or it looked like he was saying,
you flinch, you missed that. And then that's when he
tossed him. Like he didn't even say anything crazy and
he wasn't even yelling at him or anything like that,
and the guy did flinch.
Speaker 7: A strike.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 4: I can tell you this though, like what are we
doing for? And baseball empires you're just the worst. I'm sorry,
like you just you are, Like and if I've got
a friend that's a baseball like, I'm not talking to
like everybody, that's a wild statement to make. And it's
not even like the miss calls, Like you're going to
miss calls without question, you're going to. But baseball umpires
being the biggest look at me guys on the field
and thinking everybody's there to see them is always so
funny to me. And it's at the collegiate level, it's
at the MLB level. It happens everywhere, and they're like
the biggest fake tough guys like they puffed their chest out,
and then the potan has come over there and they
like yeah when they stepped in baseball umpires, don't put
your hand on my chest. If you put your hand
on my chest where I come from, that means something.
That means you better be ready to go. And they're
like push people away. I'm like, dude, you don't touch like,
don't touch me again. Like two bodyguards coming over there. Man,
you look like you hadn't hit a jog in six years. Okay,
Bud with the way that you're moving over here, like,
don't come over here and bodyguard me.
Speaker 7: We wouldn't.
Speaker 6: It wasn't just a home plate umpire like earlier in
the game. It was a being ban played at first base.
They called whoever was batting for l s u out
and Jay goes, hey, like, what did you see? Like
we thought he was safe? Whatever, try to do that.
Bumbar's yelling at him to get back in the dugout.
Jay walks away, and Jay's standing there like right there
on the edge of the field watching the batter. The
umpire still looking. Jay looks at him and goes, don't
look at me. Watch the game like our Connetation's over
go watch the game.
Speaker 2: Is LSU number one in all three poles today.
Speaker 4: You just said, I definitely saw Baseball America released their poll.
Speaker 3: And else she's number one. Look at that. Alburn was
number two.
Speaker 2: Alburn Man.
Speaker 3: Still the crazy Speaking of the here, I mean.
Speaker 2: Is there anything on this video to even review on
getting tossed though, because it's just like no, like there's
nothing exciting, No, just oh okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, you flinched,
hell yeah, dude, Oh my god. The feeling of tossing
a manager has got to be a top five feeling
on the planet.
Speaker 3: Whatever. Just hitting it with one of these yeah, I
would load that thing. Guys like, get get out of here.
Speaker 2: That's like a refler with their sunglasses.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I love that. Jordan the assistant coach
comes up here. It's like, hey, don't touch my guy.
Speaker 7: What do you do?
Speaker 3: Get away? Oh? Like a bodyguard?
Speaker 2: Top three top three or like reving umpire feelings in
the world. One would be throwing out like a huge
block or charge in a huge moment right where they really.
Speaker 3: Juice the crowd.
Speaker 2: I'll be like, and then everybody loses their mind. I
mean tossing a manager. I also love throwing out a
good technical not as much fun as the block charge, though,
would be the best football refereeing moment. I know we've
gone very long here and we're in trouble, but we
got to close this conversation now, personal foul flag through it?
Speaker 3: Just shut up?
Speaker 2: No what?
Speaker 7: Okay?
Speaker 3: Well it's first down? What first down? Like a when
the chain game comes out there and they do it.
Speaker 2: It's something, yeah, something, something that we're gonna lose though, unfortunately,
right but yeah, up until this moment, Oh my god,
I would be so extra tossing these managers and right.
Speaker 3: See you don't want to hear it. You're out too.
Speaker 2: You want some get out of here, you got no
staff left.

Speaker 1: Welcome to the seventh ranked morning sports show in America.
Off the Bench and with Hester and T Bob.
Speaker 3: It's going on, y'all. Welcome back to OTV. T Bob's
in practicing his umpiring skills.
Speaker 2: Oh big call on strike three?
Speaker 3: What's that you're talking to me? What? Huh? Yeah? Exactly?
Speaker 2: You hold up your finger to your ear, like, oh,
what's that? I can't hear you? And then uh, it's
a great safe call, right, everybody up, and then so yeah,
so oh I can't hear you, Kenny, Okay, Oh what's
a say out of here?
Speaker 7: You got the leg kick t.
Speaker 2: I would never make it though, because I'd be throwing
coaches out you often that I would never get upgraded
from like high school or anything. It's a good save, quad.
There's a confidence safe call too, game on the line
there one give me some credit, guys.
Speaker 5: One of the best throw like throwing someone out the
game is when Noah cindergrad or guard or I forget
how to cinder guard he Viking, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
when he got tossed out a game because Chase Utley
had slid into you remember when Chase Utley slid into
who was it it was?
Speaker 3: He was playing Chase for the Dodgers against the Feelers.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he like broke somebody's like injured somebody very
very badly. And so Noah threw a pitch at him
the next game, yeah, and he got thrown out. And
then the manager, the Mets manager ends up getting thrown out, and.
Speaker 2: So how many people, so it was just like a
string of people getting uh yeah.
Speaker 5: But hold on, I'm trying to find the video so
that ta take can play it.
Speaker 2: Here's an Instagram. I'm watching a Instagram video right now.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: That immediately tossed Cyndergarden immediately.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, dude, let's go.
Speaker 5: That's like one of the best ones too. Because of
the backstory.
Speaker 2: Utley went on to hit two home runs after Cinderguard
was dejected. Didn't work, so Utley broke Ruben to Haa's
leg and then yeah.
Speaker 4: Chase, that is an absolute Boston to play for seventeen.
Speaker 5: Why one of the one of these in there for
a minute?
Speaker 2: Best ongoing always Sunday in Philadelphia jokes is Max obsession
with Chase Utley and having to catch with Chase Utley.
I believe believe they do make a wish thing at
one point to try to have the catch with Chase Utley.
I can't remember exactly, but uh yeah, legendary Philly thank
you don't.
Speaker 3: Remember him playing for anybody else.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers is what I read.
Speaker 3: For four years.
Speaker 6: So he got traded in fifteen, So three and a
half because he got traded in fifteen, and then played
sixteen seventeen eight.
Speaker 2: All right, so to get back on the clock here
a little bit. We are going to go to break
here in a minute, and then let's let's get into
some news on Lamar Brown as it's starting to trend
pretty positive for LSU here. Also softball a ten seed,
so they will be hosting a regional unfortunately, maybe the
toughest regional in the entire tournament. It's got Nebraska as
the two seed, It's got Big East Tournament champions, Yukon
as the three seed. It's got Southeastern who finished at
the South Anks Conference champions as the four seed.
Speaker 7: And am I crazy?
Speaker 3: Then in Nebraska? Pay for that?
Speaker 2: Uh that picture from Oklahoma?
Speaker 3: That ed?
Speaker 7: Uh?

Speaker 1: Back from the break where the sports talk gets real
kind of off the bench and with Hester and t
Bob y'all.
Speaker 2: Derek Carr will always have that two and oh start
from last year. You know, God, it was heady times.
Speaker 3: He was feeling so fat and cocky.
Speaker 2: We'll always have this thing, or is that any doll?
I can't remember.
Speaker 3: I did the I Love you.
Speaker 2: But my pinky's kind of jacked out still when I dislocated,
so I can't straighten it.
Speaker 4: That I like you. That's not I love you if
you don't go full pinky up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Derek, I'll always remember you grabbing your nuts. Man.
Speaker 5: I was gonna say we got the Michael Jackson. That's
the one moment it actually pisses me off when I
see that video, Like it actually makes me angry seeing
that video.
Speaker 2: That start was magic Man, heavy sets, a lot of
play action, overwhelmingly good offense.
Speaker 3: How about the Cowboys?
Speaker 7: That's that's that's the thing.
Speaker 6: Right, you go back and look like the Panthers Week one,
the Panthers always suck Cowboys. You you dominate the Cowboys.
Everybody's like, hey, look at these two big wins. It
turns out both those teams sucked.
Speaker 3: Still one at that time, though we didn't know the
Cowboy I know.
Speaker 6: I'm just saying, looking back on it, it's like, look
at that not that bad. Looking back on it, it's
like you can kind of see how the season fell apart,
because everyone says.
Speaker 2: How the season fell apart was everybody got hurt.
Speaker 6: No, I get it, But also like you didn't get
to play the Panthers and Cowboys every week.
Speaker 2: You had the Eagles dead to rights.
Speaker 6: You can get it done, though, we'll always have too
a note, Derek, you will always have to it.
Speaker 2: I hit like button on that car review for you
for saving US thirty million dollars.
Speaker 5: And now you're gonna get car reviews all on your algorithm.
And I'm not talking about like cool car reviews. I'm
talking about Derek Carr Carr review.
Speaker 7: One yet did you leave a positive comment? Shocked positive comments?
I don't know if you left the positive out now.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go so far as to comment that might.
Speaker 7: Do a little bit. They need a positive comment more
than they need a like.
Speaker 6: I mean when I tell you there's three hundred comments
and none of them are positive. None of them are positive.
Speaker 2: Speaking of something that is potentially positive. It looks like
lsu UH is trending towards keeping a major five star
linemen UH in the state, as both the Hunt three
prediction Machine and the two four seven Crystal Ball are
predicting that Lamar Brown from U High, a guy.
Speaker 3: That Jake You've seen play plenty Yeah.
Speaker 2: Lamar Brown, though, is expected to stay and join this
twenty twenty six Elgie recruiting class, which is already very good,
which is already number two in the country, which would
be the third five star already in the class. Of course,
they got Tristan Keys, the wide receiver out of Hattiesburg,
who's a five star, and then Richard Anderson out of
New Orleans who's a five star. So Lamar Brown's going
making his decision July tenth, but well this is always
subject to change. Yeah, smoking the street is that he's
feeling pretty good about him tagging.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we always talk about it anytime we bring
up somebody that is local from Baton Rouge, you know,
and University lab school being on the campus and you
bought our children go there, so we know all about it. Yeah,
I love it. Yeah, man, but they've gone to LSU
basically right for most of their life, if not all
K through twelve, and you're always wondering, like are they
going to go elsewhere? So it is nice to kind
of hear that the Tigers are the leader in the clubhouse.
And I can tell you this, so you know, my
son's going to be a sophomore. He plays offensive defensive line.
He's always around Lamar. Yeah, cannot say enough great things
about it really and everything. He's like, look, he takes
care of the young guys. He doesn't try to big
league the young guys. He's always giving us tips and
helping us out. And you know, my son plays a
lot of guard. He plays next to him sometimes he's like, man,
he is like the ultimate teammate and so like when
you're a five star guy and you hear stuff like that,
because not all five star guys are going to be
that one.
Speaker 2: No five star guys in high school can be just
complete pricks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, without question. And he's like and he's talked about
him for the last couple of years. So this is
one that Tiger fans not only because he's a five star,
not only because he's a Louisiana guy, but you know
what kind of person you're getting as well, and what
kind of work he's going to put in. This is
one of those ones that is just like, must get,
have to get find a way to get well.
Speaker 2: And I mean you're gonna give Kyle Williams him and
Richard Anders like, You're getting a lot.
Speaker 3: Of talent on that d line, dude.
Speaker 2: As we continued the quest to try to get LSU
defense to be even a shadow of what it once
was for some of this golden era, it's not all
uber positive news though, on the recruiting front, as Edna
Carr star cornerback Hayward Howard Junior six three Big Kid
has chosen the Texas Longhorns over LSU Miami and Florida State.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and again we talked about it. Another thing in
the state of Louisiana. There's so many talented players that
in this last NFL draft, per capita, Louisiana had the
most guy selected. I mean, in fact, I think they
were what they were tied with Virginia for fourth most
of any state, but capita, I mean, because I think
maybe it was fifth either way. I mean, they were
top you know, top eight for sure, but they were
number one per capita. And so all of those players
are not going to end up in ban rouge, right,
But you have to identify the ones that are must have.
You got to identify the ones that are most important,
the ones that help you immediately. And you got to
get with your position coaches and you got to say, hey,
you know, of the guys that we're looking at right now,
who are the ones that we got to put the
full court press on our most attention because you're just
not going to be able to get all of them,
and you hope you get the right ones. You mentioned
Kyle Williams, there's a certain player in a model that
Kyle Williams is looking for. Yeah, the interior of this
LSU defensive line, it's going to be different than what
both Davis was looking for, right and so you get
with your position coaches and you're like, hey, what are
you looking for?
Speaker 3: What is your priority with this player? This player, this player?
Speaker 2: And to be clear, I think that's one of the
problems here with the with the Howard junior recruitment is
LSU did not have him as a priority. They offered
him less than a month ago, yeah, whereas Texas has
been on him for a long time. So els you
kind of you know, I have experienced that, almost get
a scholarship thrown your way, like on the off chance
to like I mean, I don't know, maybe I want
to come here.
Speaker 3: But the recruiting process is wild.
Speaker 4: And I know it's different now as far as the NILS,
but the attention part of it is still the same
from when T Bob and I got recruited. Like there
was schools that would put the full court press on you.
I mean they were in home as much as they
could be in home. They were on the phone as
much as they could be on the phone. They'd leave
you messages, they'd write you handwritten letters. And there's something
that would leave you an offer on your answering machine.
Yeah yeah, yeah, I had two offers on an answering machine,
the Auburn Tigers and Louisiana tach on an answering machine.
It was very, very just passing by. Hey, we want
to make sure we offer you. This is my thought
on Auburn when they offer me, we want to offer
you in case you end up being somebody and we
can say we offered that guy I think it was.
Speaker 3: I never talked to him. It was not even a
letter that makes sense on the answering machine.
Speaker 4: And also, like Louisiana Tech and I tell that story often,
the guy calls and says his name, says we want
to offer you a full ride scholarship.
Speaker 3: And that was it. He hung up the phone.
Speaker 4: That was the end of the message because the only
communication I had with Louisiana Tack and you know, being
from North Louisiana, my mom graduated from there. I was
dating my wife Katie at the time. Her dad and
uncle were both all American football players there. Like I
don't know, they might have had a bigger chance than
they thought. You know, who knows where you end up, right,
But yeah, on the answering machine. So we bring all
that to say this is sometimes you'll just throw an
offer at somebody because you're like a token like, hey,
we got we kind of got to do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't love you.
Speaker 4: There's guys we like more, but you know, back up
playing kind of here's an offer.
Speaker 3: So are down the road in the transfer portal.
Speaker 2: So something to watch going forward is going to be
that Lamar Brown commitment. If he does commit, tellis you
not that this means you know what? Whatever this means?
You allowed to mean that to you. But if if
he does commit to LSU, there's a good chance they
get bumped up to the number one class in the
country for twenty twenty six. All right, more otb rapping
up our two. Next off the bench, go Tommy's, Tommy's windows,
doors and sighting.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 2: You need a hard to play Gravaa, Saidai Winter about
the winners you need any type of door you need
Tommy's winners or insiding guys. Okay, when you work with Tommys,
you're gonna see the difference. Clearly, window joke, clearly, clearly
it clearly is clearly your energy efficient options save you
money over time and your lifetime warrant you guys, Integrity, dependability,
efficiency professionals, and these are the core tenets of Tommy's.
So why don't you go ahead and invest in your home,
invest in these upgrades that actually save you money over
the time and making your home more energy efficient pay
for themselves. But at Geaux Tommies dot Com, Geaux Tommies
dot Com beautiful work.
Speaker 4: Fully license and insurative course over twenty years of experience.

in the greater Baton Rouge area. I mean, Angie's list
does not come out within an award unless Tommy's is
getting it because they win it every single year free estimates,
Go Tommies dot com.
Speaker 1: Welcome in to the best morning sports this show around
Off the Bench with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 9: What's head and y'all welcome back to OTB. I'm talk
to Devin Snow coming to here nine fitting church up
with dev. We got a weekend winners coming up next.
Anything else on the Saints LSU front, anything there that
you don't believe that we've mentioned tel you had an
interesting story about a Saints player.
Speaker 6: Yeah, let'll tell you what I'll save it for. That'll
be the NFL story. We don't know it's it's it's
kind of long. I don't know if we have time
for it.
Speaker 2: Timeb we you know, we had like four or five minutes.
Speaker 3: You can't give it to me.
Speaker 6: Then the Saints brought in a tryout player by the
name of hundred Deckers. He's a quarterback from Iowa Western. Quarterback,
well quarter quarterback, quarterback, six three, two hundred and thirty
five pounds. He was one of the players that Iowa
State let go for the sports betting. You remember that
a couple of years ago, back at twenty twenty two.
But look when he was at Iowa State or when
he was being recruited, a four star recruit, one of
the highest quarterback recruits Iowa States ever had.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he set behind Perdy for two years.
Speaker 6: But in twenty twenty two he played in twelve games,
three thousand yards, nineteen touchdowns.
Speaker 7: I mean he had a good season.
Speaker 3: How many picks fourteen?
Speaker 6: But when he went to Iowa Western he lit it
up last year. He's first in passing yards, second and
passing touchdowns and single season big guy. I mean, normally
you're gonna say, oh, he's a juco guy. He's coming
in as a tryout player, not your run of the
mill triout player. I mean, this guy can this guy
can sling it. I mean the sports betting thing. That's
obviously a little bit of a pause, right, because that's
been an issue in the NFL too, But I mean,
as far as talent, the guy can play lefty.
Speaker 2: What if Deckers ends up being the quarterback overshuck over
Rattler somehow Deckers coming. You said it was Iowa Wesley
and he ended up having to go to after he
got caught gambling.
Speaker 3: Somewhere out there.
Speaker 2: Jimmy Ott be so happy the most degenerate starting in
the NFL. So that story, when we initially talked about
it was much more interesting before I realized he's a
quarterback because unfortunately that means like you know.
Speaker 6: Well, when he bet on the games, apparently he was
the backup and not the starter.
Speaker 7: So I guess this was when Perdy was there.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, I don't really care about him get out in
the game being stupid college kid.
Speaker 3: I more mean, like he's just not going to he
can't make the team.
Speaker 2: He survived rookie tryouts, you said, into miniicamp, which good
on him, and maybe he finds to play somewhere.
Speaker 6: But right, Yeah, I mean you're not You're You're likely
not going to make that as a tryout play, right because.
Speaker 7: I mean you got Udfas.
Speaker 2: Would be a hell of a story, though, if he
could come back from that low moment of be you know,
having his college career basically blowing up his own college
Cuse I don't want to act think it happened to him.
He did it to himself, but have that blown up.
If he then fights his way into the NFL, that'd
be a hell of a job by him.
Speaker 6: Look when he played against Texas, I mean, you want
to talk about one of the best games he played
nine no when he was at Iowa State, I will
Western Community College, three hundred and twenty nine yards, two
passing touchdowns, eighty yards rushing in a touchdown on the
ground against Texas and twenty twenty two.
Speaker 7: I mean, the guy can play.
Speaker 2: Tom Suck never had a game like that against the
guy lefty.
Speaker 3: Do love a big lefty.
Speaker 7: But again, it's going to be hard for him to
make this team.
Speaker 2: See look those first In fact, you came up short
talk to give me like one more minute on Deckris,
Come on here.
Speaker 6: You have nothing left to say, man, I kind of
gave you the full spield.
Speaker 3: Yeah, give me.
Speaker 2: The most, give give me a take. That is just
rattling around in your head. It can be about anything.
Speaker 7: Pacers about to wrap up their series. I think that's done.
Speaker 6: It's three to one now, okay, Yeah, twenty point win
last night, looking good. And they did it without Haliburton.
I mean he played but eleven points. They did it
with everybody else like that team can That team's good.
Speaker 2: I mean even the Haliburton game winner that we were
all fawning over last week, he only had like nineteen
in that game, right, Yeah, so it's not like he's
been having to go off for them to win.
Speaker 7: How about this.
Speaker 6: Nikola Jokic is shooting thirty three percent against the Thunder
since that game one. Yeah, they're two and two.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I know.
Speaker 2: I'm loving the MVP proxy battle that is taking place
in that series. All right, when we go down to
