Speaker 1: Welcome into Off the Bench, presented by All Star to order.
Speaker 2: At your home risk. We're bringing you the school sports
talking so with Jacob Hester and it might even why
from the Haunted.
Speaker 3: Here's Jacob Hester, welcome back in O TV.
Speaker 4: That's I don't know what's better the robot voice and
mean not getting used to that or your NFL comp
being Tim Tebow.
Speaker 2: The comp. It's the comp. The voice squeak earlier in
the show. I think it's the comp. Though. What can
I do right today?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 2: I think you should just.
Speaker 4: Start over and start over and try again tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I just got to go home.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll see it Rouses tomorrow. But we appreciate you,
thank you for your service.
Speaker 2: Man. I gotta go. I gotta go after this. I
gotta go slank some hydration, some world class my high
trigged my high dot com or you can pick it
up at Rouses tomorrow. That's what I do. We got
the shipment's going out to colleges all over the country,
hydrating teams, athletes, pro collegiate, everything in between. We talk
in fire departments, police departments, military job sites.
Speaker 4: They all get hydrated. What about your co host? You
gotta pay for that when I started the show, I
brought fifty you did those were now a long time ago,
that a while ago. I know, I owed the studios
to my high for sure. So I don't know if
anyone saw this, But obviously in college athletics now it's
about dollars and since now it always has been, but
even more so now with revenue sharing and nil and
trying to make sure that you always have enough cash
to be able to fill your roster. Stanford football received
a fifty million dollar donation from a former player. Fifty
million dollars so the donation comes from former Stanford football
player Bradford M Freeman, who graduated from the school in
nineteen sixty four and has been a major Stanford donor
for decades. Whoa oh, fifty million? I think Andrew Luck
can do a lot with that, at least you hope.
So because they are bad, it's a little bit of
clickbait there. Because we were discussing in the office yesterday
after the show about who's this player?
Speaker 2: Is it Christian McCaffery, is it Andrew Like, who's made
that kind of coin? Didn't say Bradford M free We
were thinking about recent players. There was a little bit
of clickbait headlines there. But yeah, fifty million nothing, I
don't think. I don't think cemac is given fifty million
million explaining this to me, So they got they got
fifty million, Great, what can they do? Like, isn't there
some sort of there's some sort of limitations on it.
Now there's some sort of salary cap. You can't just right,
but you got to you got to be able to
raise that salary cap. Like, yeah, but it's twenty something
twenty plus million, Like, there's gonna be some that don't
have twenty something million. I got it, but I'm just
saying fifty million it's just a little bit too much.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean no, it can be your revenue share
for a year and then you could still put twenty
plus million into facilities yep, to coaching staff.
Speaker 2: There is a lot of that happening around the country,
and I see it because I work with many, many,
many different athletic departments with their budgets, with the hydration
am I high. Like, there's there's a lot of a
lot of colleges that like you're like you're saying they
don't have that type of support from alumni or boosters
or whoever it is, and they have to go out
that's the name of the game. Pay for players now,
pay for play. It's like they have to make cuts
other places to make room for that money. So not
all schools have that luxury like you're saying. So they're
having to cut back on their facilities, They're having to
cut back on their types of food, their supplementation for athletes,
their health, their medica. Like, they're having to make cuts
in different places. A lot of staff is also being like,
go to make room for these players salary, I say,
is this can you call it salaries?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 2: We can do whatever whatever I mean.
Speaker 4: When you're compared to Tim Tebow's NFL career, you've had
a bad day already.
Speaker 2: So but it's kind of like, you know, that's seeing
and office space where you know they're like, what exactly
do you do on a day to day basis what
you'd say you do here. There's some people at places
that are just people persons, you know, people a paper person.
So there's been a lot of like but when you
have something like that happens, you can keep everything you can.
You can the way you supplement and keep your guys
because in a nutrition station that it's like it's it's
a huge thing these days. And I say nutrition because
we talked to Jeff Michael Johnson every single week about that.
It's not only is it important for the health and
the longevity and getting these guys recovered weekend, week out,
day in day out, like the performance they can put
forth just from the nutrition from a food standpoint and
a supplementation standpoint, and the extra stuff there. There's there's
extra treatments, there's massages, there's dry needle, there's all these
different things that have never you know, like when we
were When we were there, it was there a little bit.
There was a small budget for like some supplements, very
small mofit. Used to buy like those naked remembers that
became too expensive. It did.
Speaker 4: He bought naked drinks and he had to stop because
it was too expensive.
Speaker 2: It just got like apples after that.
Speaker 4: But then all that plays apart into of course, it
helps the players get ready, but it also plays a
part in recruiting as well.
Speaker 2: If you go to one school that's like, well, I
got all this stuff here, Like I can come in
here and get a meal anytime I want. I can
come here and get you know, fish soil and vitamins
in my eye and all this stuff right here and
like have all this support and over here. They can't
really afford all that because they're having to use all
the money to spend on players. It makes a big
deal in the recruiting pitch. And that's why it's like
it's an arms race and facilities like Okay, well you know, ls,
you just got a cool hot tub. Well we need
a cool hot tub with led lights on it and
the speaker system and all the PlayStations and all that stuff.
So like you got to keep the shop. But it's
it's it's from everything. So yeah, I hear it all
the time, from from coast to coast from different places,
Like we're making so many cuts to staff. We're making
so many cuts to what we can provide our players
because we have to pay guys. Now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's twenty million dollars that it's got
to come from somewhere. And I'm not saying that, you know,
they didn't have, you know, an idea of budgeting and
where they would put those resources. But there are some
that are having to make that final five million dollars
up and they're.
Speaker 2: Like, oh boy, where's that come from?
Speaker 4: And you're right like it like, facilities isn't as big
of a deal as it used to be now in Nil,
but it's still a part of it. And like you're
talking about the training table and stuff. Like when I
fly out with the team to go cover a game
and I'm like walking through there on Fridays, I'm like, so,
y'all can just pick up like anything from this area
anytime y'all want. It's like, it's just that's what they have.
They have all the spread, right, and they have all
the food, and they all on.
Speaker 2: A plane our bus. It was like cold Popeyes. Now
it's probably delicious raisin canes. Too many?
Speaker 4: Yeah, gosh, how many cold Popeyes?
Speaker 2: How many? How many cold chicken breasts that I have
to sit there and force myself to because I was
just starving a lot fight not cold like okay, cold
chicken out refrigerated leftovers awesome, love it. Yeah, just like
a good cold pizza, but.
Speaker 4: Not like you know, we slowly came down to room
temperature over the span of like three hours of sitting
on a plane seat, yeah, waiting for somebody to come
sit on that seat.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: That's what we had to deal with there, and they
don't have to deal with that anymore. So look places
like Stanford, like they probably need something like this because
I don't know, like because your football is not their
top priority. So like this will help the program out
for multiple years. Now, how many schools get this? I
don't know. There's gonna be some power for schools that
they're going to struggle to get to that number every year,
and there's certainly going to be some G six schools
that can't get to that number. Yeah, multiple yes, Yeah,
but like can Purdue get to that number every single year?
Like doing the Big Ten so they get some you know,
the revenue from those TV contracts, So maybe that's not
can Wake Forest do that?
Speaker 2: And you got to think about a lot of these
like for football to like you got to think of
basketball schools, you know, like Duke You and Sane like
like those like are they going to get that for.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because that's going to be spread out in the
athletic department right exactly.
Speaker 2: And you know, if you're a.
Speaker 4: Guy that Kentucky and Kansas Duke you n C. If
you're a guy that to let's just take the Stanford guy.
Speaker 2: For example, it's a former football player, I'm going to
give you fifty million, but like I know, you kind
of kind of spread it around. But this is for football.
Let's be honest, Like you might have that at a
basketball Scholay. Look, this is I'm a I'm a Yukon fan.
This is going to basketball. I want this to go
to basketball. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got Villa Nova who plays in the Big
East AND's one national championships in basketball. They play at
the FCS level in football, Hey, guys, uh, this is
going to the hardwood. This is going to the court.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: So going to the gridiron like that's that's going to
be a fascinating part of it. We talked about it
with even Mississippi State, right, and look, we love coach
Levy and we love where the program's going, and it's
fun to watch them continue to develop. But baseball's king there, right,
Like you go to a baseball weekend in Stargville and
it's it's incredible, right, I mean, as there's people everywhere.
And then I mean not that football doesn't have support,
they certainly do. I mean is it's like baseball is
king there, So you know how much more does Mississippi
State give to baseball than say a give me another
school in the SEC South Carolina, right, or or anybody
like how much more did they give? Do they give
more to that baseball program?
Speaker 2: Like that?
Speaker 4: Those are decisions that you're going to have to kind
of lay out in pro and con and the basketball
schools obviously included as well.
Speaker 2: Oh Man, college football.
Speaker 4: Is exactly what you thought we'd be talking about ten
years ago. Absolutely rev share players getting paid, where that
money goes.
Speaker 2: All of that? What did will we do again before
his time? Before more? Too soon? Couple, He's about to
win a lot of.
Speaker 4: Basketball games, right North Carolina. I can promise you that,
all right, we will step away and when we come back,
we're going to catch up with our guys. Chef Michael,

Speaker 4: I mean we're adell in our three already. Yeah, we
are trying to get the chef Michael Johnson. He's not
answering should we send out an SOS. He's now were
not answered before. Yeah, well he's keeping our athletes fed.
We got a big game this weekend.
Speaker 2: That's very fair. I know that she plays South Carolina.
They are the game Cocks. Game Cocks.
Speaker 4: They hail from what city, Columbia. I'm so proud of
you right now, I thought, no shot, he knows that.
Speaker 2: Tigers versus the Cocks. Let's go big game. Lenora's sellers
strutting in here. Pea cocking, pea cocking, fancy chicken, And
that is what it is, right, game Cock. That's a
Chanta Claire. That's a shot fancy game Cock. It's just
like a fighting chicken, fighting chicken. We put the rooster,
but you put the little They put the knives on
their feet. I had a guy in, we don't tell
us anything illegal here on there, bud Well, that's statue
of limitations. I feel like, okay, I had a buddy
mine in middle school growing up in Tyler, Texas who
they did cock fighting. Uh, they were parents, they fought,
they fought chickens. They couldn't do it at the time.
This is what he told me. I didn't fact check
him at the time. Didn't really have access to the
internet as a you know, eleven year old, you had it.
He just went, yeah, I guess it. So I just
don't know if you'd find as much information as you can. So,
but he would like he would. He brought a VHS
tape to me one time and I watched it. It
was like, that was pretty wild. But he's on the weekends,
they would pack up their chickens and they would drive
across the border to Louisiana to do cockfighting. Wow, so
they raise chickens and then but they couldn't do it
in Texas because I guess it was illegal. I'll know
if it was legal anywhere easier to get away with
the Louisiana, I guess. So I don't really know. Anyway,
that was exciting because I had never heard of it.
You know, you're sixth seventh grader, never heard of this,
and then you know your buddy brings you a VHS
tape of which game Cocks.
Speaker 4: Fighter Daniel says, I guess statute of limitation.
Speaker 2: It's ten years on a felony and five on a misdemeanor.
So Matt's good. Good, We're good. I didn't give any
names either, No, he didn't. He didn't. A lot of
I thinks and could have been, could have been in Louisiana.
I'm pretty sure he definitely was.
Speaker 4: What are you talking about inside the chad that you said?
I feel like I'm not paying enough attention to keep
up with the inside jokes.
Speaker 2: I don't know. They keep saying things over my head
right now. Well, like what well they were talking about
some sort of poster of Rudy. I don't know. Is
there a poster Rudy like behind you somewhere? No, that's
what I was looking for. Oh on the website protest?
Oh yeah. I want to remind you. If you want
a free.
Speaker 4: Flynn Hester jersey, all you gotta is go buy something
from the website, and if you spend over three hundred
dollars the first two to do it, you get autograph
jerseys that have inscriptions on them. Mine says Gator haters.
I don't know what Flynn said. I think put the
job role lyric, living it up. I did, wrote it
upside down, had a game warn one wrote it upside
down because it.
Speaker 2: Was it was on me, It was on my person,
all right. I want to say person worn, not really
player worn.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, don't say player. As far as we are,
I don't think we can use that term, all right.
I think we do have chef Michael Johnson chef what's that?
Speaker 2: Brother? Can hear us?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can hear you all.
Speaker 4: We are doing great, doing fantastic blessing Holly favored, So
appreciate your time there, sir.
Speaker 2: Do we know what a game cock is?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think it's specifically a fighting rooster, right, Okay,
it's not Yeah yeah, I think that it's a kind
of a niche creature, right all right.
Speaker 2: I have to be trained to be a game cock,
all right, So it's not born that way, all right.
Speaker 5: I don't believe so I think you have to go
through a baby.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 4: So I mean I'm just trying to figure out, like
if we beat South Carolina this weekend, because when we
beat Florida Gators on the menu, like what's on the
menu if we beat South Carolina.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just pride, you know what I mean? Yeah,
chicken there the week, so I'm not sure that they
think special gonna come out of And you know, usually
those fighting birds are a little tough for the dining.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, fair point, fair point. He's a
these chickens were eating this week were actually slaughtered in
the ring. All right. Yeah, let's see.
Speaker 4: Hashtag Munchies ranked these kitchen injuries one through three.
Speaker 2: So in order question burns, cuts are.
Speaker 4: A slipping fall, all right, so worst being I guess one,
and then you know, going down the line, So a cut,
a burn, or a slipping fall.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, seriousness, in all seriousness, slips, slip slip balls
are probably the most common and most harmful to the kitchen.
If you show me a chef that doesn't have burns
or cuts on their hands, I'm going to show you
a chef that hasn't spent enough time in the kitchen,
right yeah, or one that's been so experienced that they
have gotten to the place where they don't do it anymore,
which is kind of a rarity. So I'm going to say,
you know, in terms of worse, you know, shoops and
trips are going to be up there. Plus you know
when you slip and trip fall exhues especially, it really
pitches you off, right, Like, it's it's quite bothersome.
Speaker 6: Right, I've slipped that coming.
Speaker 5: Out of the freezer before and you know, not be
able to move for a couple of you know, like
thirty seconds or so because of one the embarrassment but
also to the shock to my spine. Right, But I
think cuts probably next. I'll tolerate a burn. It it's
it's it's bothersome. But I think you know, a cut
tends to linger on, and not only that, it's the
gift that keeps on giving, right, Like if you have
a cut on your hand or your finger, you know,
like if you get lemon juice in that later on
in the bay, that it's gonna remind you immediately of
that cuts, right, And.
Speaker 6: So I don't know. I think chefs.
Speaker 5: Chefs are born to knives and fire, So I think
we'll tolerate both of them, and I think they're probably
arguably interchangeable. Two and three are a tie for two
and not a third. But the slips and trips, man,
that's just at the banger, right, there I will do without.
Speaker 6: But i'll do without that.
Speaker 2: I'll be long sometimes, chef. If you have like a
really sharp knife too, and you get nicked like you
don't know it, like for for a little while. So like,
I'm sure you've had the experience of all right, I'm cut,
I'm bleeding. I don't know really when I started. So
I gotta like throw away everything.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's happened a few different times. And I have
some horror stories of of you know, bits of the pindages,
you know, being lopped off, and you know, like not
only do you have to send this human being to
the hospital, you get something so back on, but then
you have to find the bits.
Speaker 2: Exactly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we've had some doozies in the kitchen. Not he
necessarily here, but in my time and experience.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this one comes from our guy, Daniel Bashm chef
hashtag munchies.
Speaker 2: How far out do you plan for Thanksgiving?
Speaker 4: If I'm not mistaken, though, you don't do the cooking
on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 5: I don't typically. I did last year and it was
an absolute crap show. Man.
Speaker 2: I last year. Last year, I.
Speaker 5: Had been on a I was on a much. I
hadn't been eating for twenty twenty one days. I was
on Daniel's fast. It was a spiritual deal. And so
when I had some wine while I was cooking, you know,
like two glasses of wine I got, I was I was.
Speaker 6: Feeling like, you know, well, I was like white girl,
white girl wasted.
Speaker 2: I thought.
Speaker 5: I hadn't eaten properly for like three weeks and I
dropped the damn turkey coming out of the oven. And yeah,
so it was it was a bit of a prep show.
Speaker 6: So planning wise.
Speaker 5: You know, like here at the nutrition center. It's interesting
because at the Nutrition Center, I.
Speaker 6: Can plan to two to three weeks out.
Speaker 5: I can even plan a year out, not not necessarily
for Thanksgiving, but yeah, we're thinking about Thanksgiving in October,
right because we have and sometimes even earlier that because
we order our turkeys six months in advance so that
they know they can grow that turkey to a proper
size for us, and they know what size turkeys we want.
So we actually start these conversations further out. But when
it comes to my home, I'm not quite as diligent
about planning, you know, I'm like, stay before Thanksgiving, are
we gonna eat turkey tomorrow?
Speaker 2: Or you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: So maybe not a day out.
Speaker 5: But I think when you put that energy into that
amount of energy that you do into your profession, sometimes
your personal life tends to give a little bit.
Speaker 2: So chef turkey or ham, uh turkey, you.
Speaker 6: Know, I'll eat ham.
Speaker 5: And honestly, I've gotten to the place where I like
crime rib ah.
Speaker 4: Can't have money, Oh boy, can't have it.
Speaker 2: It does be nice. How's the air up there, chef jeez?
Speaker 5: Yeah, well it is what it is.
Speaker 2: I don't want to like any it's early October. I don't
want to ask too many things, but like too many
Thanksgiving questions. But you got me thinking of what you
just said. How many turkeys does the team or all
the athletes go through?
Speaker 5: You know, it's usually like six or eight and and
and that also includes some some staffers because we serve it.
We serve it primarily at lunch. And and I mean
we serve I don't know, three hundred and fifty people
at lunch, probably close to four hundred, so and not
everybody like turkey. We also we also get black forest
hands for us as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, obviously.
Speaker 6: I love my little private little yeah, but we we
go through.
Speaker 2: A decent amount.
Speaker 4: Hashtag monchies. What is the best way to incorporate beets
into my diet? So they because they don't taste great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you poach or or slow roast or what
we do is called a melt up the beach with oil,
rapp it and foil and roasted at about two hundred
degrees until it's soft like a baked potato, right like
you can pierce ah a knife through it without resistance.
What happens is is when you cook it slower versus fast,
that the sugars and it kind of slowly melts, if
you will, or they say they kind of, Uh, it's
it's kind of like when you boil garlic. Right when
you eat a of them garlic when it's fresh, it's
really sharp and and and has that that uh you know,
real bite to it. Well beats to the same way
when you cook them slow and low and and take
your time with it, the sugars and then build and
they caramelize and instead of it becoming this little bitter thing,
it actually sweetens to beat up and it you know,
you peel the skin back and I'd like to slice
them and put them into uh you can also put
it into like smoothies.
Speaker 6: You don't want to get on clothes up that will
go bad for you.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I like to slow roast them and it
develops that sweetness out of them that's not quite so
bitter cheff.
Speaker 2: I got one here. I had to look this up
to make sure it was a real thing and they
weren't just putting something like, you know, not approved for
the airwaves on here.
Speaker 4: But hashtag much is when cooking bulgogi beef, is it
best to do a quick light ser do you have
any recommend recommendations?
Speaker 6: Well gogi?
Speaker 5: Yeah, so what we do, yes, typically what we do
with bogogi is is it's a thinley twice. I like
the marinate bogogi uh in like a it's it's like
a Korean barbecue sauce if you will, with mir and
soy Japanese h apples or Japanese pears, the Asian Asian pears,
whatever you call, some green onions and and let it
sit overnight. And and yes, it's a really quick high
heat sere and you're not wanting to take it too
terribly far because typically bulgogi is cut from a cut
that has a lot of connective tissue in it, and
it'll tense up and get real tough. So you're just
you're just putting it on a screaming hot heat source,
dry heat source, just to give it a little color
and pull.
Speaker 2: All right, there he is.
Speaker 4: Chef Michael Johnson joins us every single Thursday here on
ot B, and we appreciate every single time.
Speaker 2: Jeff. If you're the man, we appreciate it. We'll catch
up again next week. Treat here you guys, team Turkey
or your team ham. Hope. I don't the good thing
about things like don't really get youre wrong. I'm gonna
eat both. Yeah, But that's the thing about it's like
you don't really have to choose.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: If I'm thinking just for Thanksgiving, I'll choose turkey for
the sheer fact that that's the only time of the
year I'm eating it, Like I'm I'm a ham guy.
We will do it at we'll do it, Christmas will
do it, he said, we'll do it throughout the year.
But like side by side, blind taste has Ham over
turkey or a taste standpoint, but for a Thanksgiving like
I want the turkey, I'm gonna take you both down
I'm gonna take both down, but I want the turkey
just because it's a once a year type situation. I
really appreciate that. Chef's like, no, no, no, primary, uh no,
it's the it's the steak, actually prim.
Speaker 4: At And then we called him out, like trying to,
you know, give him a little hard time. He's like, yeah,
it's fine as fine or whatever he said. It is
what it is. Work hard, yeah, fair enough, fair enough.
God watching this game and again and if you're just
joining us, the twenty nineteen National Championship Game is on.
Man Terres Marshall was such a good college football player.
He was such a good and I know he's hanging
on right now. I think he's on the Eagles practice squad,
but man, I wish he would have gone to a
different situation.
Speaker 2: Out of the gates. Went to Carolina.
Speaker 4: Not great, but man, he was really so was Thadyus
Moss too. I mean just really good college football.
Speaker 2: Really shine at the Panthers. I'm may foreseeing with a
Xavier legat this year.
Speaker 4: Hey, hey, nine hundred and ninety more yards Bud, and
he's got that thousand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he got double dig this last game. So it's
not a big deal. I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't love my ball prediction because a case splitting
carries now with Kendred Millard, which I agree with, is
smart football play.
Speaker 2: But I said my ball prediction.
Speaker 4: He's gonna be a thousand yards for the first time.
Inn screw on the ground, some big ones.
Speaker 2: Not looking good. Not looking good.
Speaker 4: But it's okay because I actually like the direction of
the Saints running game. And now Ak finally has some

we got the starting quarterback for your New Orleans Saint
Spencer rallergh rat Pack. We're gonna find out.
Speaker 4: We're gonna ask, we're going to go straight to the approved.
We're gonna go straight to the source.
Speaker 2: He might say, I don't want to be, you know,
have a rat in there. Never know, we'll see you
know what. He might want it more like a rattlesnake. Rattlesnake. Yep,
I don't know. I mean, because you know there's not
a lot of good things about rats. Yeah, I guess not.
The master splinters about all I got for the Nutcracker.
That's one of the Vaughn's nicknames is rat King. Yeah,
like the os cool.
Speaker 4: Okay, Ratchet, I am from the ratchet City, Shreveport.
Speaker 2: Do love my hometown like that. Well, we'll get to
the conclusion. We'll get to the bottom of it. People,
don't worry. We'll ask the important stuff.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, it does always. By the way, a good
time to go for dose. So go ahead and go
for dose. Pick up your dose equis for your tailgate
because tailgating is not done right. If you forget the
ice cold do skis The ice is full so you
can get to your TV, you can get your tent,
your generator. But if you forget to go for dose,
did you really go tailgating? Summer asking yeah.
Speaker 2: Some are asking don't drink those other beers. Make sure
you're drinking dose. Sekis all right.
Speaker 4: So LSU South Carolina, We've talked a lot about it
here throughout the week.
Speaker 2: We'll continue talking about it tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Obviously, South Carolina is absolutely and must win now mode
because we talked about it earlier in the week. If
they don't win this game, it could really start a slide.
Speaker 2: For South Carolina.
Speaker 4: Their next five games they are at LSU, Oklahoma, at
home Alabama, at home at Ole Miss, at Texas A
and m so. In the next five games, they play
number four, number five, number six, number eight, and number
eleven in the country. In the country, not the SEC
in the country. They play those teams, and three of
those games are on the road. So in case again, four, five, six, eight,
and eleven, LSU being eleven is the lowest ranked team
in South Carolina will face in the next five games.
Speaker 2: Whoa, whoa, yeah, all right, well glad you got Sellers back.
I guess from his concussion. But you know this is
that's a tough road for the best team in the
country if they had to go through that, right, So,
South Carolina has had their issues this year. They've had
their struggles, but look, it's they're in the SEC. They
have talent, they have a quarterback who is strong, can run,
can throw, can do all the things. Man, they got
a puncher's chance at every single one of these games.
And of course we will continue to break down, especially tomorrow,
we'll give some predictions, a lot of keys to the victory,
keys for the LSU defense, the offense. But we've talked
about it. No matter what you do, we have to
see improvement on the offensive side of the ball, passing game,
running game. There's no one thing that we can't point
at and say, yep, that needs to get better. But
we do know from a running game standpoint, if they're
are not immediate improvements, it's gonna it's sure is gonna
make it pretty hard to improve the passing game as well.
So h got to get the running game going because
that is going to open up the offense for Garrett.
That's my the struggles that he's been having for whatever reason,
whatever the reasons are, that he is struggling. Of course
there has been struggles. It's not the same offense. It's
not the same passing attack as we've seen in the past.
So let's get the running game going, and let's get
it started fast. Like Jake said earlier in the show,
with that first fifteen, let's see what kind of creativity.
Let's see what we were able to put together, implement
and execute in this week off. And remember they had
a week off too.
Speaker 4: I mean, so there's gonna be things that they have
worked on that they have done that they feel better about.
There's gonna be things that they feel like they have advantages.
So like it is not just you coming off of
bye week again like they are. They're coming off of
bye week. They're gonna have something with Lenora Sellers. They're
gonna have something in the run game. They're going to
have something that they think is going to slow down
your very agressive defense. So you're going to have to
adjust to their adjustment as well.
Speaker 2: If you had to put money on this, let's just
say it's even money that LSU runs a power this weekend.
Are you taking that BT? No, they ought to say
don't take it because they have one. But you don't
think we see it not at once? God, I would
love to be wrong, and we're not gonna say that. Okay,
all right, look you can't just throw in one play
and think everything's fixed. But it just shows something that
you know, I think every team in the history of
you know, tackle football is run the power at some point.
I don't know if there's that. Has there ever been
a team that didn't run a power? I know that
that's a great question. There's ever been a team that's
never pulled a guard?
Speaker 4: Yeah, just a guard and not two pullers. Yeah, that's
a great question.
Speaker 2: Now I'm talking about middle school, high school, college pro
flag pull the guard? Have guards?
Speaker 4: Oh, that's a great question. There's no way of looking
up in the history of football. But I feel pretty
confident in.
Speaker 2: I got a new good buddy of mine, SAME's chat GPT.
I take that. I don't know, you don't even know
that answer.
Speaker 4: All right, we are going to take our last break
of the show.
Speaker 2: We do have as a bench coming up.
Speaker 4: But also we're going to get an account or try
to get account on maybe how many jerseys they have
still left here and get those questions that you're asking
inside the chat about the shipping portion of that answered
as well. So I have all that to finish up today.
