Speaker 4: But it's fine.
Speaker 1: We had a very fun way too long since we
last did it. I mean, I guess it's the first
time that we've all done it together. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, yeah,
I think so. But we had a very fun team
OTB meal last night. It was great. I missed the
team picture.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 1: I don't know why we didn't take a picture.
Speaker 4: We were there.
Speaker 1: That was really dumb. Waited y'all.
Speaker 5: I left and You're like, hey, quick, let's get one there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I think I think at that.
Speaker 3: Point these Rivers got the shots.
Speaker 1: It was they brought out. They brought out complimentary little
Marguerite to jello shots. Missed that too, Yeah, you had
the baby in toe, but Harlowe did great. It was
great to have a little youth at the table as well.
Speaker 3: With her little polopm.
Speaker 1: Absolutely adorable. But yeah, it was a fun time though.
Speaker 3: Taylor, He's like, what time did y'all end up leaving?
And I was like, we closed it down.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Even I was like, yeah, we're leaving two and then
I was.
Speaker 1: I I staid goodbye to a launder. I think about
it rivers too much. I mean thirty Yeah, I loft.
Speaker 4: Like ety five. I didn't. I wouldn't know what long
after you guys.
Speaker 1: Cale was basically like, sit your ass back down, Yeah,
order another skinny Mark.
Speaker 6: So you were talking about bags under my eyes. I
got in bed early last night, earlier normal, I was
about ten o'clock.
Speaker 1: I did not. We went home and my wipeing on
white lotus and then I woke up with a couch
at like midnight.
Speaker 4: I'm like crap.
Speaker 1: Oh well, but it was very fun. It was a
really good time, great team Bondy. I really enjoyed that
lunar rooftop.
Speaker 3: Dude, it was a great vibe.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I was. We kept we kept joking.
Such a beautiful night, but like it really was. If
I had had a sunburn, I would have felt like
I was on spring break. Something about the little elevation change. Yeah,
the interior design there. Yeah, I told you. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3: We were like, oh, we're in Mexico right now.
Speaker 1: So again, you know, it's just a little it's you know,
I always like celebrating businesses and things that we enjoy
here along with all of our incredible sponsors. So shoutout.
It was a really good time. Shutout it was. It was.
It was a really fun time cool. It's always cool
to check out a new place. Estre.
Speaker 3: Drinks were good, food was good. Those corners were so good.
Speaker 1: I got some tacos. I didn't do the vetas. Okay,
tell me, is weird because I've never seen this. Taylor
ordered chicken fietas. Yeah, and I know chicken vegetas shouldn't
feel weird. It's on every menu in the world. But
what I realized last night is I have never seen
anyone ordered chicken figetas. I've seen shrimp I've seen steak
and shrimp.
Speaker 4: It was a combo.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're tripping there as well, that makes no more sense.
I've just never seen if I get fatas, it's chicken,
you get chas too.
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 6: Wow, Well they had they had, they had chicken, steak
or shrimp. You can do chicken and steak, chicken and shrimp,
such the chicken and trimp.
Speaker 1: No, I know that's surprised. I mean, I'm just I
always see people just go surfing turf or just turf.
I've never I was kind of taken a back last
nide as I realized I've never seen someone order you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like by far the most common.
Speaker 1: I think we need a poll question because a Landra
was in my boat. She like kind of agrees that
she's never seen it either you've never.
Speaker 4: Seen anyone or her chicken.
Speaker 1: I feel like the chicken would be so dry.
Speaker 4: No, I know, I.
Speaker 1: Know, I know, I know it sounds absurd like it sounds.
I was taken aback by how surprised I was by it,
But then I realized I've never seen it before.
Speaker 5: Especially if I'm eating healthy. I'm getting chicken for heat
is well.
Speaker 1: I steaks had a lot of protein bro and no
it does.
Speaker 5: But if I'm talking about like super clean, I love
steak over like steak's my favorite protein.
Speaker 1: But I'll go straight chicken sometimes. Okay, why not? I
want to put this on a pole question then, because uh,
I'm getting a feeling that this could be split kind
of fifty to fifty. How is this blowing tea his mind?
I'm I'm telling you, it's just I don't think. I
don't think. I don't think I'm alone in this. I
don't think I'm alone in this. I'm not maybe in
the majority that I thought I was, but I don't
think I'm alone in this. And chicken Beheata is feeling
a bit on.
Speaker 6: So what should I ask a question? Have you ever
ordered chicken fetas order?
Speaker 1: Okay, well no.
Speaker 4: Because it's yes or no.
Speaker 1: The well, we'll frame the question. We'll frame the question
of the commercial break, and we'll put it up. But ah,
but a great time, but a great time, absolutely great
time last night, very fun seeing everybody, very fun hanging
out and I got a ton to get to in
this first hour. Uh, everybody's doing well though. Before we
go ahead, and I guess start the Yeah, it's the
greatest day in sports. Oh that's right, dude, Smart's madness today.
Hell yeah, we got our brackets printed out right here.
We're gonna fill them out by the end of the show, which,
by the way, if you're listening, you still have a
chance to enter the one four five ESPN racking until
what ten am?
Speaker 5: Ye, until ten am.
Speaker 1: The brackets closed down. We'll do ours live on the show,
So go ahead and get ready for that. Jake, how
are you planning on bringing in the day. I don't
have afternoon radio, so we're getting so you're fired up
to I'm locked in. You're on cloud nine. Yeah. I
don't know where I want to get chilling. I want
to go.
Speaker 5: I want to go watch the early game somewhere. I
don't know where that's going to be just yet, but
I'm going to be locked in all day until we
have baseball practice later tonight.
Speaker 1: You and Harlow. Is Harlow going to come with you?
Boys are at school? Oh? Yeah, hell yeah, that's all
I mean. Harlow tags, I mean anywhere she was chill,
she was chill.
Speaker 5: Give you MoMA walk the stairs, yeah, give.
Speaker 1: You mom a break. Last night walking around you did
have to disappear from the table for a while to
go over to Gails Little Code. Yeah, I love Gails
Vanilla ice cream. Dude, so freaking good. I see Harlow's
like me a good nolla.
Speaker 5: And well there was more Dad saying, let's don't get
the pink one that's gonna get everywhere. Also, they had
a unicorn flavor that she did try and enjoy.
Speaker 1: A unicorn flavor. Yeah, it was unicorn something that it
tastes like meat like. I like the idea of unicorn
flavor just being like like horse meat. It was like
a real unicorn, like a real unicorn, like the real
Oh man, they put real unicorn flavor. My daughter's listening now,
I'm gonna have to get them a unicorn. Yeah. Hey,
shout out to uh to the kiddos. I did.
Speaker 5: I did run into Alice yesterday, said what's up. She's like,
who are you freak throughout? Yeah, she gets very shy.
She gets very shy, Alice, if you're listening, I'm that
weirdo that freak you out yesterday.
Speaker 1: Adam Field says. Also, this is a secton me time.
Good luck to all the dad's out there. That is true.
This and Master's Week in the two most popular week.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 4: Has it been two years?
Speaker 1: I think it's been a few years. Yeah, because I
was on the show.
Speaker 4: At the time, so it's been It hasn't been more
than two years.
Speaker 1: It's probably been about two years because I think that's
how long I've been doing snaps. And me and Aaron
Murray both got vasectomies pretty soon after we started that show,
which is very funny because we had a few episodes
where instead of Snaps it was snips, and I think
it should have been a permanent name change. Actually, yeah,
look like that. You know, it's like we said, one
of the only snipped podcasts out there. There's a lot
of white guys doing podcasts, I mean a just an
endemic amount of white guys doing podcasts, but not many
where everybody on him uh has been has had their
vast deference snipped.
Speaker 5: Yeah, would you get and I We're never gonna share that.
Speaker 1: No, no again though, guys, remember the doctor did tell
me I had one of the largest vast deference he's
ever see, not the brag exactly.
Speaker 3: Well, how many has he really seen?
Speaker 1: You know, probably doctor Cockle, Oh god, he's seen a lot.
He was born to do it. Yeah, he's seen a lot.
Speaker 5: Okay, you adopted the darkness, he was born into it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my man's been still to this day.
Speaker 5: When you told us that, the first time, I was like,
I was like, oh, here's a bit from tea bake.
Speaker 1: Incredible. Yeah, I mean, look, former l U football player,
so as I was, you know, kind of smelling the
sin skin and feeling stuff moving around and there we're
just chopping up about the you know, football. Nothing. Nothing's
more awkward than the nurse prepping you for the surgery,
sitting there, moving stuff to the side, making a little
putting your testicles on a little stage, basically framing them
with the towels and everything. What a what a what
an odd experience all throughout, But but great experience to
be fair, like, I as good as I think you
could hope with something like that. So shout out to
all of the guys getting phasectomies today. Be careful though,
because remember when you immediately leave, you're still numbed up, right,
So you don't want to just be you don't want
to be just be walking like completely normal, because you
may you may hurt yourself a little bit. I remember
I was laughing so hard because I was very nervous
about doing that, and so as I'm leaving, even though
I can't really feel anything, I hit that wide, wide
cowboys stance like I had like an awful chafing case,
and I just slowly but surely kind of waddled my
way out to the car and made sure no damage
was done. It reminded me though, of castrating goats with
my uncle when I was younger, just letting him go
and let it happen. You and Tim Tinbo, Yeah, exactly.
My uncle is, you know, a man of the earth,
and he just had a straight razor and I would
hold these goats down while he just cut them open,
cut them out, and then sprayed a little disinfectant on
whatever was left over. And I'll just never forget how
gingerly those little goats would waddle away. They'd be so
spry entering, and then they would be so ginger walking away.
And that was I know. And as I'm sitting on
them holding their horns and looking at him dead in
the eye, do you at least buy him a drink first?
Do you still hear them? Clever? The goots?
Speaker 4: I do.
Speaker 1: So enjoy it. That's it's a good day. I actually
hated it. I thought it was gonna be super chill,
and I was just gonna watch Lord of the Rings.
I'm all weekend and I felt pretty bad, end up
trying to sleep most time. So good Luck told me
out that there. I hope you you know, it all
goes well and you have a good March madness A
and m lost my Hudson. How about that.
Speaker 5: I think after a story like that, the best thing
to probably do in this situation is take a break
and then reset.
Speaker 1: I think you're probably right all right, all right, so
things on the dock and for this hour continuity to
talking March Madness. Else you've all gets a massive commitment.
Uh Bill Frankez with some big time praise of Steven Myland,
Dan Thinketts in hockey. Back on the menu, Zion popping off.

Ronald Siding whatever on the windows, any type of door.

means they're gonna save you money on your bills, meaning
they literally pay for themselves over time. Speaking of time,
come with lifetime warranties. I mean, what are we talking
about here? When you're talking about Tommy, you're talk about

That's go Tommy's dot Com. Go Tommy's dot Com.
Speaker 7: Back at it where sports talk meets pure chaos. Off
the Bench with Hester and T Bob Well.
Speaker 1: Hell and y'all, welcome back OTV R and B Thursday
in full effect here. All right, let's go ahead and
get this show started.
Speaker 7: It's time to get to work courtesy of Tiger Labor
and Staffing, where they can help take care of screening, training,
payroll and more. Now for starters, Tiger.
Speaker 1: Labor truly vets their employees and build relationship with them,
whether they're just looking at their job history. They get
to know every potential employe during their in person onboarding
process and every morning over a cup of coffee. They
also have the shortest hir in terms of the industry
in sixty days. And they do this because they entergered
the quality of employees they have and they want your
business to succeed. Tiger Labor and Staffing. All right, let's
run through some of these topics real quick. So first off,
LSU football gets a big twenty twenty six commitment from
the number one receiver in the country, Tristan Keys six',
two one eighty, five the hop player in the state Of,
mississippi Visits Baton rouge last week and then he ends
up picking The tigers Over, tennessee Pama a and M.
MIAMI i, mean obviously he's the number one receiver in the, country,
Right so it's the cat as a. Junior forty catches
into the nine yards twelve, touchdowns and it GIVES lsu
the number one twenty twenty six. Class now here's WHERE
i think this becomes interesting or well real. QUICK i,
mean first, off just with the actual, commitment like good,
job good job to, coaches good job of recruiting machine
for getting a, commitment anything to add. THERE i think
before he kind of explore maybe some of the maybe NOT,
ptsd but but but how you may actually feel.
Speaker 5: About, that just you, know just the actual player before
we get to what you were talking, about BECAUSE i
do think that's certainly part of the. Conversation number one, receiver.
Duh right, now if you're, received we're in high, school
and you're looking, around and certainly if you're from the
region Like, hattiesburg there's a ton OF lsu fans right
there in that portion Of, Mississippi like it's kind of
a melting pot of. Fandom there's not really just one.
Team so you, know he's SEEN lsu and probably growing
up watching all the receivers That i'm about to talk,
about and Justin jefferson And Jamar chase AND btj And.
Malik how in the, world if you're the number one
receiver in the, country you're not that far From baton.
Rouge would you not want to end up and play
FOR lsu just BECAUSE i, mean we just saw the
contract That jamar. Signs like the four of the top
of no matter who you, are no matter where your biases,
are there's four of the top ten receivers in THE.
NFL i would say more like for the top eight
before the top ten at worst went to this.
Speaker 1: School you have the, opportunity so that part of its no. Surprise,
yeah and who are the top tier paid receivers in
the league right, Now, Jamar, Jason Justin. Jefferson so, yes
you go on that, visit they inundate you with all
the images and stats That jake is talking. About you
see The Jamar chase news cycle and as, yeah you
know when when you see that path be so profitable
to another you, say, well well why not? Me Uh
so this is Again Tristan keys is a very good football,
player and this is a big time commitment and now
lsuit this twenty six class number. One Uh, NOW i
think the other part of, this And i'm sure the
one that many of y'all are feeling when you hear this,
news is a bit of, cynicism and really cynicism earned
over the entire lifetime of covering, recruiting because commitments are
never final until you know they're actually on campus or
the paper gets faxed in whatever they do. Nowadays but
even especially after this last recruiting, cycle right where you
had the number one class forever you had To Coreyan,
moore you had the number one receiver committed for quite
some time before that started to. Wobble and then of
course there's the Price underwoo, drama which arguably maybe ends
up being a positive in the end because what it
did to l LSU's nil efforts becoming this sort of
catalyst for. Fundraising but the point of this Is i'm
very happy for the staff and for the recruiting machine
that got this. Done it is always a good thing
when you are ranked that highly as a team LIKE lsu.
IS i don't need them to finish number, one but
you have to continue to finish in the top. TEN
i am, still though not going to marry myself To
Tristan keys and he actually coming. Here it's a. Look
it's still a long way till That december signing, day
and many many things can happen before that.
Speaker 5: DAY i would believe and get excited About Tristan keys
whenever he's in AN lsu practice WEARING lsu gears and
officially officials.
Speaker 1: That you know in.
Speaker 5: Recruiting we've certainly been there, before but NOW i think
we're there more than we've ever been before because there's
the opportunity for somebody to swoop in change the, matheh
how much you're going to. Earn it's no longer you,
know you having the conversations about it felt like home
and it's, family and it's.
Speaker 1: This that and the.
Speaker 5: OTHER i got a degree from. There that's just not
what the conversation. Is And i'm not saying right wrong or.
Indifferent it's just changed so like more than ever until
you actually show up on. Campus just like WITH Dj pickett's, like,
okay very excited about, him but we didn't talk about
him until like we saw him in the uniform basically
out there with the. Squad and that's kind of as
far as the excitement. Level we can talk about what
it could look, like BUT i think the conversation changes
when you actually have them.
Speaker 1: Signed, yeah and even then you might have him for a.
Year and we played Manswort O lane talking ABOUT Dj pikey,
yes or and saying, hey look whatever that five star
plus crap, is like he's. That so it's been very
exciting getting to watch some stuff on campus AND i
hope that's trist And keys is. Well but, AGAIN i,
mean what are at the end of? This will miss
is like, ah will double the offer or In texas's
or something like, That and so it's a long way to.
Go exciting, news exciting, news but we'll see where we're
at In. December very good start, though right because on
the other, hand you also just can't jump into the
top of the rankings In, december like you have to
be winning getting these small wins that you stack along the,
way and this would be a bigger, win but you
have to build these classes over time and else who's
doing a very good job of that again to in
at number one in the. Country hey, guys want to
remind you about going To Goodwood Men's Sexual. Wellness You're

getting the uh see the Bill Frankez lincoln there and
one that would sound uh before you get. There Jake
hockey back on the. Menu how about? It Govern landry
saying him And Steve scalise, Quote steve AND i had
an extremely productive call yesterday with THE. NHL i look
forward to continued dialogue as the prospect of A New
ORLEANS nhl team takes shape. Again this is something that
a lot of, people, uh for very realistic. REASONS i
don't mean like people run out of their way to
to to kind of you, know reign on everybody's parade
here Because i've always just accepted the tagline That New
orleans can barely support two professional. Franchises how in the
world could you accept. Three BUT i don't know if
it's like a lingering effect from how incredibly well The
Super bowl, Went, jake but the state leaders seem very
tantalized by the idea of bringing AN nhl franchise, here
and THE, nhl at least in, part would not hate
being In New. ORLEANS i know there are better candidates out,
there of, COURSE i Know houston's one of the top. Ones,
LIKE i get it very much about. It tell me
so there's LIKE i get. It there's a million reasons.
Why maybe this is, unrealistic but it is interesting to
see the state leaders continue to work for this and
and fight for. This, taylor why are you shaking your
head so.
Speaker 6: DISPISSIVELY i THINK i would enjoy hockey In New, orleans
maybe more than most down. Here, HOWEVER i Think New
orleans would support this team for two. YEARS i think
for two years it would be the new kid on the.
Block everybody would be. Excited the minute they're, Bad New
orleans is going to completely lose.
Speaker 4: Interest this already happens with The.
Speaker 6: Pelicans when The saints are, mad people rage watch because
they're passionate about The. Saints when The pelicans are, bad
people shut. Down they completely lose. Interest it's going to
be the same way with the hockey team even more.
Speaker 1: So that is no different though than almost any OTHER
nhl OR nba. TEAM i guess my thing is LIKE
nfl is always going to put the most people in the,
stadium even if the team is.
Speaker 6: AWFUL i don't Think New orleans can support The pelicans that,
WELL i don't THINK i think it would be even
worse with the hockey.
Speaker 1: Team, WELL i, mean but you say so if they don't,
win but like you have to, Win like if you,
win The Smoothie King center stays, packed like you don't
get To this is what's so frustrating about some of
these professional. Franchises it's like they want to have their
cake and eat it. Too they want to be, Like,
okay well we can be bad at our, job but
you still have to show up because you should be
so grateful that you have a team. Here it's, like,
well you have to put on a good. Product i'm
not going to watch Bad netflix movies every night just
because somebody made. Them, like it's harder than ever to
get people to devote their entertainment time to. You and
if you don't, win, yeah people don't need to GO. Fm,
now THE nfl is different because in all these, conversations
THE nfl is. Different and, yes when you get to
a massive, city those cities are always going to attend
losers better than a smaller. City But New orleans is
no different than any other small market. Town and that
if the team, sucks, yeah and it's THE mlb OR
nhl or something like, that, that, yeah people aren't going
to go as. Much what does this mean for an?
ARENA i would think you would build a new one.
Speaker 5: Because Smoothie King center catches a lot of strays in
any of the. Conversations superdome does? It everybody loves The,
supernome even those built in the.
Speaker 1: Seventies Super dome is A i think they've renovated a
futures a ton of. Times. Yeah, yeah but he but
like The. Superdome it's Like Sean payton was talking about
During Super Bowl, week the bones of The superdome are
special where it. Is, yeah the skyline the feeling it's
just one of the most functional and best stadiums built
it when.
Speaker 5: They initially built, it whoever did that did a hell
of a, job, yeah of making it so where you
didn't have to really build something. New you could renovate
it Like taylor's talking, about and you could change up
a couple of things here and. There but because the
bones are so, good it's like it feels. New Like
i've been there a thousand, times all of us. Have
but WHEN i walk.
Speaker 1: In there and they do something, new it feels like
it's a brand new. BUILDING i would JUST i don't.
KNOW i, Mean i'm not even allowing myself to really
think about what would be the stadium implications yet until
it becomes a bit more. REAL i JUST i GUESS
i won want to fight against this idea that people
should just show up and support a team when they
suck and they've given you no reason to and they're
raising season ticket. Prices and ALTHOUGH i was drunk WHEN
i popped off On twitter last night AND i don't
know the full, STORY i saw a couple of screenshots
floating around of people being told that they are not
even being allowed to renew their's season ticket prices or
there's season. Tickets so, YEAH i GUESS i want to
fight against this idea that like it's Somehow New orleans.
Speaker 5: FAULT i definitely want it is The pelican's. FAULT i
definitely want another ownership. Group, yes, yeah it would not Be,
YEAH i, mean you do not need a situation where
the same person owns all three because right now it
feels like the same person owning both is clashing against each.
Speaker 1: Other, well and even eventually The benson estate is planning
on everything will be well in theory given, Away, yes, no, no,
yeah maybe it's like A graves whoever the case, Is but,
no not. NOT i don't think it would go into
the The benson. Circle maybe Maybe i'm wrong, there BUT
i don't think it. WOULD i guess REALLY i would
just love to have a rooting interest in hockey. Too
that'd be. Fun that'd be very. Fun. Cool all, right let's,
uh let's go to. Break then when we get back
actually probably mentioning The pelicans for a. Second then we
get To Bill, frankez and THEN i want to get

Speaker 1: Y'all welcome BACK otb rolling right along here in This.
Thursday hope everybodys having a Great. Thursday we got our
weekend started last AND i know many of you get
your weekends started. Tonight have, fun good, luck be safe out.
There hope you get to make out with somebody if
that's what you're you, know aim and for that'd be
kind of. Fun. Now so THIS lsu baseball team has
been pretty, fun and we're definitely catching up With Beth
thorina at eight am working On Jay johnson as. Well
both teams hitting the road for big time. MATCHUPS, lsu
of course the top five tilt In, austin whereas softball
heading To georgia take on the thirteenth ranked team in
the entire. Country and, again just expect pretty much every
weekend in softball further to be a number next to the,
opponent and more often not in, baseball for that's. Worth
but so you, know the other day we were talking
just about this team and what they've been, doing and
kind of insecurely and tepidly talked about how. GOOD i
feel Like mylam's playing defensively at short and with a
lot of my baseball, takes, RIGHT i can be self
conscious of them Because i'm not a great baseball mind
or anything like. That but you know who Is Bill.
Franks he knows who's seen A Harris. Valentine and again
you mentioned double.
Speaker 8: PLAY i MEAN i Told jay this earlier in the
or over the, weekend some point over the. Weekend milam
And dickinson are the best middle infield double play combination
That i've ever seen AT. LSU i, Mean milam is
just as we've, seen is superb at short, style AND
i only there's not a play he can't Make. Dickinson
dickinson was known more for his offense.
Speaker 1: At Utah, valley, right but he's been.
Speaker 8: Excellent you can tell he's worked extremely hard at. Defense
he's an athletic guy, anyway he gets to a lot
of balls that maybe some second baseman wouldn't get, to
and he's been incredible as. Well SO i love the
fact that we have, that if you can call it
a defensive weapon.
Speaker 1: Where we can turn up because there have.
Speaker 8: Been MANY lsu, teams even the twenty twenty three team
was not a.
Speaker 1: Great double play. Team.
Speaker 8: Right we've, seen you, know obviously great individual players at different.
Speaker 1: Times, right for the years at each of those.
Speaker 8: Positions but for these two guys together at the same,
Time i've been, AGAIN i Hope i'm not overlooking, anybody
but in my MEMORY i writ this is the most,
fluid the most in sync double play combination That i've
seen here AT.
Speaker 1: LSU i, mean there you, go. Dude that's LIKE i, said,
like don't take my word for. It take a man
who knows way, more who's seen way more and can
pride way better context with his INCREDIBLE lsu Brain Bill
francos big praise dude very. Much.
Speaker 5: SO i, mean he's been here for a very long.
Time and it's funny because it was not really a
known at. All it was ACTUALLY i wouldn't say a,
worry but it's, Like, okay you're gonna move mile them. Over,
yeah from second to short you're gonna move a player
who's coming over completely new. League you don't really know
what you're gonna get defensively, There so like it was
a gamble from the outside looking. In, now as we
know From Jay, johnson he's got everything covered from every,
angle but still like it was, AGAIN i don't want
to say it was a, worry but we're questioning is
this going to work? Out or are you going to
have to you, know at the beginning of your conference,
play Move braswell back to shortstop And milam back to
second and you, know Maybe dickinson's going to be A d,
Eight like you're, wondering like are you going to have
to shuffle?
Speaker 1: That and certainly Not, alandra what would it do for?
Speaker 3: You Hearing bill say, That, YEAH i, remember like when
we were talking about it before the season started and
people were questioning About mila moving to shortstop because of
like how short he is and usually you have a
taller person at. Shortstop BUT I i always kind of
knew that he'd be fine because he is just good at.
Baseball like it doesn't matter like where you put. HIM
i feel like you could put him literally wherever and
second basement if he did great at second base last.
Season so like he's just. Good he was gonna be
fine no matter where you put.
Speaker 1: Him it isn't now two playing like left fields for
The astros or, Something AND i saw a low. Light but,
yeah some, guys some guys are just he just. Has yeah.
Speaker 3: ANYWHERE i was never really worried About steven myloin that.
Shortstop and, Yeah bill's seen a lot OF lsu baseball
throughout the.
Speaker 1: Years there's a lot of good, players like you, said
maybe not you, know individually here, there but like the
combination of the two and you.
Speaker 4: WILL i Mean bill's seen more than.
Speaker 6: That like in my, LIFETIME i can only think of
two more combinations off the top of my head that
even rivaled these. GUYS i MEAN i go To Framer
robertson And Cole. Freeman, yeah and then and then The
minari national championship team With Austin, NOLAN Dj lemayhew at
the short and. Second BUT i mean outside of those, guys,
YEAH i mean outside of those. GUYS i mean those
guys have been in the majors forever, Too SO i
mean that that's that's about.
Speaker 3: IT i, mean shout out Our guyrio.
Speaker 1: Too, Yeah, Bobby bobby and The Chad Saint Terario. Fontina,
yeah comp come up with but, yeah this duo's. Fluid,
yeah shut, Up bill Man uh From bill to was
national championship that one.
Speaker 3: Sometimes, yeah it's like he, said he was like even
in the twenty twenty three.
Speaker 4: Team we.
Speaker 1: Weren't, yeah it, wasn't so shut Out Bill. Frankens now
For bill to will so remember we we played The
Josh allen audio a few weeks ago where he's, like
what's the extra five? Million and in my, opinion it's
some like surprisingly shocking, Audio like it's an audio piece
that you never, hear and it's really what every fan
base wants to. HEAR i think This Will wade answer
when being talked about. Now of, course he has accepted
THE Nc state job to BE Nc state text head
coach in case you missed, that but he was doing
A March madness press conference and he was being asked
about teams reaching out to him AND Nc state and.
Whatnot and This Will wade answer is also pretty singular
in my, mind resented of WHY i wave it's, different.
Speaker 2: We address it head. ON i talked to Him saturday about.
IT i, said here's where it, is here's where we.
Are they talked about some of their portal stuff with.
Me we sat in a, room it was just me
and our players and we all talked about. It So
i'm aware of what they've got going. On they're aware
of what we've got going, on and we just you
just hit it head, on so we're all we're all
on the same page with. Everything just tell it like it.
Is you, know you may not always like WHAT i
got to say when me tell you WHAT i. Think
So i've always kind of been like, that and there's
no need to hide. It the guys are reading it
on social. MEDIA i, mean it's, no it's, no it's no.
Secret And i'm not going to ask him to do
Something i'm not willing to. Do and SO i, mean
it's no good if you don't address. It and if
you sit there AND bs, them they know they can
read right through THE. Bs so you might as well just,
hey this is what it, is and here we are
and we'll figure it.
Speaker 1: OUT i, mean how we're rushing in a world of,
lying hyper sensitive coaches like Remember, Slasnagel how could you
possibly ask me a question like that about the exact
thing That i'm planning on doing WHEN i step out
of this. Room, remember just a couple of days, Ago
davries devized A West virginia head coach going To indiana
and basically telling, us, oh, yeah the deal's been done
since the middle of the. Season, yeah and he was
just lying to his, team lining to, everybody thank You,
god thank You Will wade for just being honest and
being an adult and a professional about the whole, deal
not being overally sensitive and not, lying being, like, yeah,
man look they see. It we know what it. Is
they got the, portal like we're just talking about, it
like that's why he's, successful that's why guys like playing
For Will, wade and he is going to dominate an inca. State,
YES i think he.
Speaker 5: Is and it's no surprise That will has that approach to.
IT i, mean talking To will as much as we,
did LIKE i know him to be that personality you
do as, well and So i'd be shocked if he
was any different with his team as far AS Nc.
STATE i brought that up like two weeks, ago like
that that would It just it made all the sense
in the. World they care about. Basketball they are going
to throw, resources maybe even more at basketball than they do.
Football all. Right he's from the, area from the.
Speaker 1: Region lower entry price in basketball as, well, yeah and
more per, player but lower.
Speaker 5: Overall left they just went to A final four a year.
Ago they got a nice. Arena there's a lot of. Things,
Raleigh North carolina's a great, city so there's a lot
of things that made. Sense and again him being from
the region and coaching in the region, before he's already
got strong ties in that, AREA aau high, school all
that kind of situation for high school.
Speaker 1: Players ALTHOUGH i don't know how many high school Players
will is going to be bringing in THE nc. STATE i, mean,
look he took over AN lsu team that was ten
to twenty, one two and sixteen in. Conference year one
AT ls you remember he bumped that up to eighteen and.
FIFTEEN i want to say they're right under five hundred in.
Conference then the next year twenty five and five regular season,
champs made THE Ncaa, tournament and he proceeded to make
THE Ncaa tournament three of his next four YEARS i
think One sweet sixteen appearance in there as.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah like he was, building.
Speaker 1: He gets, fired then rules change nil comes. About he
gets hired at. McNeice he takes over a mcneese's team
that was eleven and twenty, three six and twelve in,
conference and in year one goes thirty and four regular
season tournament champions and makes THE Ntaa. Tournament this last
season twenty seven to six regular season and conference tournament
champions makes THE Ncaa. Tournament you go to tell me
that guy's not gonna do well AT Nc state in this. Portal,
ay he is going to murder, it and then there
will be a bidding war when the next true blue
blood job opens up BETWEEN Nc state eight and whoever
that may.
Speaker 5: Be, Yeah AND i mean there's there's some that are
opening up right now and some that are already open right.
Now villanova and you, know ANY i just gotta, feel
