But it's just like, uh, you know, from 98 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,720 maybe a generation before, because I'm the same way. I'm like, man, 99 00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:36,120 I didn't know y'all hated us like that. 100 00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:38,959 Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, it just caught me off guard. And I 101 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,079 like a lot of the people up here, A lot 102 00:04:41,079 --> 00:04:43,639 of people are nice, but when they find out that 103 00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:45,879 you believe purple and Gold, it's just they look at 104 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:46,360 you different. 105 00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, they guess the old saying they hate us because 106 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,079 they ain't us. 107 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:51,079 Speaker 4: That's right. 108 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 2: Uh huh, all right, Bane, let's uh, let's focus a 109 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,439 little bit here on LSU baseball. Tell us about that. 110 00:04:56,759 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, good luck. 111 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 4: But I thought this was like nighttime mindset. Yeah sports. 112 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,319 Speaker 2: Well, they have forced me to start watching some baseball 113 00:05:10,319 --> 00:05:11,920 a couple of weeks ago. So hey, you would be 114 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,199 proud of our boy. 115 00:05:13,879 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 3: You would be proud of our boy like he is 116 00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:19,360 truly you know, locked in as much as he can. 117 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,040 He's learning the names, he knows the lineup. You'd be 118 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:22,560 proud of it. 119 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 2: Look, my kids fell asleep last night to Arkansas versus 120 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,600 u C l A. They fell asleep. Yeah, so like 121 00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:33,120 we're we're in Flynn's our baseball peeps. Yep, all right, 122 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,160 So well just tell us about we had heard from 123 00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:38,000 me from a long time. So tell us about like 124 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,120 this LSU team, what you've seen from him up to 125 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,720 this point, how they've regular season, going through regional super 126 00:05:44,759 --> 00:05:47,360 regions to the point where they are now, and yeah, 127 00:05:47,439 --> 00:05:49,800 just what's your thoughts about the DNA of this. 128 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:55,519 Speaker 4: Team, man. I think that our pitching staff is lights out, 129 00:05:55,879 --> 00:06:00,360 and I think that's what carried us through the regional superachals. 130 00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:02,439 I say that we had some high scoring games, but 131 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,839 whenever we left SEC tournament, I think it was kind 132 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,920 of a feeling of a batch being cold, and they 133 00:06:09,079 --> 00:06:12,160 turned it around completely. I mean, the guys are seeing 134 00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:15,199 the ball, great pitchers come out doing their job, and 135 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,839 I think, you know, we're one of the top pitching 136 00:06:16,879 --> 00:06:20,800 staffs in the nation. And then having Kate Anderson go 137 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,600 out give seven innings in that first game like that, 138 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,120 that's huge and then you know, INSI in getting him 139 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,240 for possibly the next game or the first game of 140 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:36,040 the series if we make it right there. It's it's 141 00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:39,399 just nice having depth. And one thing that I've realized 142 00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:41,480 too is I feel like everybody throws a hundred down 143 00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:45,160 right true. Like when I was there, we had like 144 00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:47,839 one guy in SEC and he was montesde Okay, he 145 00:06:47,959 --> 00:06:50,079 was like six foot seven and three hundred pounds and 146 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,319 he threw a hundred. Now and now everybody's throwing it. 147 00:06:53,439 --> 00:06:58,759 Chase Shores is absolutely electric. He's fun to watch a lot, 148 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,439 you know. But having those older guys in the lineup, 149 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,879 Bear Jones, you know, Fry, all those guys, it's it's 150 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,800 really it's you don't care about who's up in any 151 00:07:09,839 --> 00:07:13,199 situation because anybody can get the job done. So I'm 152 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,600 very fired up about this team and what they're gonna 153 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,120 be able to do. 154 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then it's very interesting to what Jay does 155 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,639 today knowing that, look, you never want to like have 156 00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:25,439 oh we can lose this game and we still get 157 00:07:25,439 --> 00:07:27,240 to play another one, Like you don't have that mindset, 158 00:07:27,279 --> 00:07:30,920 But like how he approaches this game today, Austin, because 159 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,160 like you're gonna have a decision to make on who 160 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,639 starts the game for you, and you're gonna have different options. 161 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,680 Is it Jaye Nude who has started games in the 162 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,839 past this season and kind of been in these spots before. 163 00:07:41,959 --> 00:07:43,920 Is it gonna be Zach Cowen, who hasn't been really 164 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,279 in these spots in an LSU uniform, but he was 165 00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:48,759 in a Watford uniform, and the only time he did 166 00:07:48,759 --> 00:07:51,360 it in the LSU uniform in regional play, it didn't 167 00:07:51,399 --> 00:07:54,759 go well against Little Rock, And so, like the decision 168 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,000 that Jay has to make, it's not an easy one, 169 00:07:57,199 --> 00:07:57,959 but he does have. 170 00:07:57,879 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 4: Options, and I think the biggest thing he can kind 171 00:08:02,959 --> 00:08:05,959 of take more of a risk because now Arkansas has 172 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,240 to beat us twice. So maybe now is the time 173 00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:12,319 that you can take some of the more riskier play 174 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,240 to possibly say pitching for the series if we beat 175 00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:19,319 Arkansas the first game, you know, But then if if 176 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,519 you do take too big of a risk and then 177 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,680 now we're playing them again, we're burning more arms. H 178 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,720 So I'm not sure what he should do. You know, 179 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,399 It's it's gonna be a tough call regardless, but I 180 00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:34,559 think we're in the driver's seat right now, so I'm 181 00:08:34,879 --> 00:08:36,480 I'm just excited to watch. 182 00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:42,519 Speaker 2: Awesome. What's the what's your take on the LSU lineup 183 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,159 right now? The like to me just watching learning like 184 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,240 the thens and outs of baseball. Like to me, they've 185 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,559 played this one has been incredible. They've you know, Curry 186 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,000 l is an incredible at bats so hard to get out. 187 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,120 But Steven MYLM, he has played incredible. I want to 188 00:08:57,159 --> 00:08:59,519 know your thoughts on him because like, defensively he is 189 00:08:59,799 --> 00:09:03,200 he he's a dude, but that he seems like such 190 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,559 a tough out right now, just tell like, tell us 191 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,600 that what he a guy like that kind of means 192 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,799 to the whole roster in the lineup. 193 00:09:12,799 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 4: Man, I love his the swagger about him. He's a 194 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,519 switch hitter, so right handed, left handed, he's gonna do fine. 195 00:09:20,639 --> 00:09:23,679 I love him baton left handed. But what what stands 196 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,879 out about his game is he's up in so many 197 00:09:25,919 --> 00:09:30,120 situations and delivers whenever it's needed with runners in scoring position, 198 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,840 you know, after walks, things like that. He steps up 199 00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:37,879 in big time situations and and comes through, which is 200 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,840 a big confidence booster for the team in general. As 201 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,440 a leader, you know, as a guy standing next to you, 202 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,799 he's just fun to watch. Man, You get the Tiger 203 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,440 stripes on the hair. It's something about Omaha and L 204 00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:51,879 s U L s U. Tiger's doing stuff with their hair, 205 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,840 you know, from Kramer Robertson dying it to now myleam 206 00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:58,799 with the tiger stripes. It Uh, he's just fun to watch, 207 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:00,440 ye yeah. 208 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 3: Man, he has certainly turned it up here in the postseason. 209 00:10:03,879 --> 00:10:07,919 H man. It you know, omahall is so special. It's 210 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,960 it's a place that you know, you dream of going 211 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,360 and like y'all have this place and like we didn't 212 00:10:13,399 --> 00:10:15,679 have this in football, but like for baseball players Austin, 213 00:10:15,759 --> 00:10:19,279 like y'all worked to get to Omaha and you know 214 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,480 something that I know you experienced as well, Like what 215 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,200 is what's the environment? I guess like in that situation, 216 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,840 in that setting, knowing that like you have the best 217 00:10:28,879 --> 00:10:30,639 fan base in the country as far as one that's 218 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,080 going to travel to that location. But you know, just 219 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,120 from watching it on TV and even being in the crowd, 220 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:40,159 like it's special, Like you get goosebumps thinking about it. 221 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,720 But like as a player, when you've played in what 222 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,360 a lot of us consider the best college baseball stadium 223 00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:48,720 in America in the box, but what's it like going 224 00:10:48,759 --> 00:10:51,039 to Omaha, Like, how different truly is it when you're 225 00:10:51,039 --> 00:10:51,799 playing on the field. 226 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,519 Speaker 4: Man, It's it's definitely special. And I think the coolest 227 00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:00,000 part of our being a part of the LSU community 228 00:11:00,159 --> 00:11:02,879 is how well they travel and how well they support 229 00:11:02,919 --> 00:11:05,720 the team and everything. You go to Omaha, like in 230 00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:08,200 twenty twenty three when we went and I drove up 231 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,200 for the series, it was full of purple and gold everywhere. 232 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,799 It was just I've never seen anything like it. And 233 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,240 that's that's the kind of support you get from the fans. 234 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,759 That's how many fans there are of LSU because because 235 00:11:21,799 --> 00:11:26,840 the program is that amazing, it's it's it's a very 236 00:11:26,879 --> 00:11:31,120 professional feeling. You know, you get the opening ceremonies, you 237 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,440 walk out at night with the fireworks going, the stands 238 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,919 are full, go out to batting practice, the whole stands 239 00:11:38,919 --> 00:11:42,120 are full as you're shagging or hitting VP. It's just 240 00:11:42,159 --> 00:11:46,600 a very professional feeling, and it like transcends college where 241 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,200 now it feels like you're at the next level. You know, 242 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,919 you've got a stadium that holds what twenty eight thirty 243 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:57,600 thousand people, You're just it's huge, it feels big. So 244 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,799 it's it's a you know, once in a lifetime opportunity 245 00:12:01,879 --> 00:12:04,200 some of these guys have, and it's it's it's an 246 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,320 incredible experience. So I've now gotten to go as a 247 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,120 player and a fan, and I'll tell you what, being 248 00:12:12,159 --> 00:12:14,240 a fan is just as much fun. 249 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe it. 250 00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:19,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, go to Rocos. Support the team a little bit. 251 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,120 Get on the board. 252 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 2: How many Jello shots? Yeah? 253 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 3: I mean yeah, Well, I mean we bought on a budget. 254 00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:26,840 I mean, do we, you know, spend some cash has 255 00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:28,919 support the Tigers? What do we do at Rocos? 256 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,039 Speaker 4: Uh? You haven't heard about the Jelo shots? 257 00:12:31,159 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 3: Right? No, I don't know how much you Yeah, but 258 00:12:35,639 --> 00:12:37,960 you know you said support the Tigers. We buy eight 259 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,440 yellow shots? We buy you know, I'm a hand. Did 260 00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:43,360 did you delete a dozen of them? 261 00:12:44,279 --> 00:12:49,039 Speaker 4: I'll confess I didn't buy any, but but that's because 262 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,679 the person like five minutes before me bought a thousand 263 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,320 and they were passing them around from trade. So it's like, 264 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,720 what am I going to do? Like give me two? 265 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,639 Speaker 3: You know too? 266 00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 4: Like nah, I'll just take one of the forty on 267 00:13:04,759 --> 00:13:06,080 this tray and then I'm good to go. 268 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,879 Speaker 2: Okay, I do want to ask you, so you talked 269 00:13:08,879 --> 00:13:11,360 about how special of the place Omaha is, like playing 270 00:13:11,399 --> 00:13:14,799 in that stadium a professional environment. But talk about like 271 00:13:14,879 --> 00:13:18,159 the mindset that a player has knowing that a team 272 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,039 that you've beaten already multiple times in a season has 273 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,600 to come in and beat you twice. We know, like 274 00:13:24,639 --> 00:13:28,000 from from a coaching standpoint, there's it's a different philosophy 275 00:13:28,039 --> 00:13:30,240 from you know, when you use pitchers and how you 276 00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:33,039 set up the game. But from a players standpoint, does 277 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,240 anything change because we talk about it, like beating a 278 00:13:36,279 --> 00:13:40,080 team twice in football, being a good team twice is tough, 279 00:13:40,159 --> 00:13:43,240 like mentally so from a baseball standpoint, but knowing that 280 00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:45,279 they have to beat you twice, do you play a 281 00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:48,679 little bit more loose or is it just like let's 282 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,840 it's it's another game, put our hat on and let's 283 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:51,279 go play. 284 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 4: Man, I think it is just it's another game, put 285 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,399 the hat on, let's go play. Because you know, as 286 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,720 much as there is I guess you know, somewhat animosity 287 00:14:01,759 --> 00:14:07,480 between LSU and Arkansas and baseball, at least we respect 288 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,759 the hell out of their program. They you know, they're 289 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,360 highly ranked for a reason. They're very talented. You know, 290 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,039 if you get a little two loose, they can sneak 291 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,919 up on you, and then you're going into a game 292 00:14:18,279 --> 00:14:20,679 game three with them with the momentum in their favor. 293 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,600 So I think, you know, these guys know how important 294 00:14:23,639 --> 00:14:26,480 this game is. We do have another game to play 295 00:14:26,519 --> 00:14:29,559 if we lose, but we don't want to get to that, 296 00:14:29,879 --> 00:14:32,360 so we need to handle business now. I think that 297 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,480 everybody knows what's at stake here. They know what they 298 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,559 need to do. They've they've got their mind on the 299 00:14:39,039 --> 00:14:41,639 on the big picture, and I think Jay Johnson's directs 300 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,799 them in that in that way, so I think I 301 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,000 don't think they're going to overlook them. And man, it's baseball. 302 00:14:48,159 --> 00:14:51,000 You know, anything can happen. You see all these teams. 303 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,440 Murray State made a run at it, So I think 304 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,240 you just got to take it one game at a time. 305 00:14:57,519 --> 00:14:59,759 Don't even let the next game get in your head 306 00:14:59,759 --> 00:15:01,600 at all. 307 00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 3: All Right, Austin, you were somebody that threw one hundred 308 00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:07,799 and thirty innings in college. You also had two hundred 309 00:15:07,799 --> 00:15:11,320 and fifty four abs, and so obviously you've got experience 310 00:15:11,919 --> 00:15:15,159 on the mound and in the batter's box. If you 311 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,039 had your choice, you had to come into the game 312 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,320 because you know, last year of your career, you had 313 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,279 four says. If you had to come into the game 314 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,960 ninth inning to shut the door, or you came up 315 00:15:27,039 --> 00:15:30,960 to the plate with a chance to win the game 316 00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:34,360 two outs. It's up to you which one you're choose in? 317 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,799 Speaker 4: Which one would I enjoy more? Or which one do 318 00:15:41,919 --> 00:15:43,600 I think I could succeed in? 319 00:15:44,039 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 2: What do you pick it? 320 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,519 Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean yeah, I mean, what are you succeeding? Like, 321 00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:48,159 which one are you? 322 00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: Like? 323 00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:48,679 Speaker 2: All right? 324 00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:51,039 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, call me number eighteen. I'm there. 325 00:15:51,919 --> 00:15:59,879 Speaker 4: Oh man, that's actually a good question. Probably pitching, okay, 326 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,879 because I you know, I've done that my whole life, 327 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,679 and but damn dude, it would be so cool to 328 00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:08,919 come in hitting in the bottom of the ninth and 329 00:16:09,039 --> 00:16:11,519 get that opportunity. So that's a tough question. I think 330 00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:13,600 I would succeed at pitching. I think I would rather. 331 00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 3: Hit, all right, there you go Switzerland cover. 332 00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, seems like I would crush both, like either way. 333 00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:28,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, yeah, I would be right center gap all day. 334 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,080 But like you're asking a pitcher, like if you'd rather 335 00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:36,039 pitcher hit? Like, that's that's a tough question. Every pitcher 336 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:36,600 wants to hit. 337 00:16:36,759 --> 00:16:39,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, yes, you're a pitcher, but 338 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,080 you also led the SEC in doubles your your last year. 339 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,720 Once you know, Paul got smart and lets you start 340 00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:47,519 swinging the bat man. 341 00:16:47,559 --> 00:16:51,879 Speaker 4: I wish you'd have told him junior year. I would 342 00:16:51,919 --> 00:16:54,399 do anything to go back to junior year twenty seventeen 343 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,200 and swing the swing the stick a little bit. 344 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul, Paul's definitely listening South Ceriah. Yeah, no question. 345 00:17:01,919 --> 00:17:04,279 Speaker 4: I'm drinking a cup of coffee right now, sitting on 346 00:17:04,279 --> 00:17:04,759 his porch. 347 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,039 Speaker 3: Well, you know, Austin, I really wanted to let you 348 00:17:07,079 --> 00:17:09,559 back in twenty seventeen, but it just wasn't in the cards. 349 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,759 Speaker 4: Yeah. I wish you'd have came in there and told 350 00:17:11,799 --> 00:17:13,240 me you're an athlete. 351 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,839 Speaker 3: Oh you recruited me. I mean you saw what I 352 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,559 was doing in high school a dutchdown. What are you 353 00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:23,920 doing here? I know?

It's been getting real wild in that rocos Man. 649 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,440 I know I'm not telling anybody news. They don't know, 650 00:32:18,559 --> 00:32:22,400 but the scene in there Monday before the Monday night 651 00:32:22,599 --> 00:32:26,200 Lsucla game, Paul skiings Livy were in there, and yeah, 652 00:32:26,279 --> 00:32:30,079 I mean it's just it just nobody out parties the 653 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,599 LSU fan base from South Louisiana. I mean, it's like 654 00:32:32,599 --> 00:32:36,400 they're gonna end up, you know, like having more jealous 655 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,000 shots than the rest of the team's combined. 656 00:32:39,039 --> 00:32:43,079 Speaker 3: So, like, what is the the breakdown of fan bases? Minci, 657 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,480 Like if if you were to say, like the percentage 658 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,079 of fans there at the College World Series of all 659 00:32:49,079 --> 00:32:52,119 the teams, Like, what is the percentage of LSU fans 660 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,240 compared to all the other teams. 661 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 8: Well, Arkansas has got a ton here, but keeping my 662 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,160 fau five and a half hour drive from Omall, they 663 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,640 got like a you know, and which is actually funny 664 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,119 because it's the first time Fville has ever had a 665 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:09,799 convenient location ever. Yeah, that's true, because you know that's 666 00:33:09,799 --> 00:33:12,079 always the knock on it. It's like it's a great place, 667 00:33:12,519 --> 00:33:14,279 like how do you get there? But Omaha is the 668 00:33:14,359 --> 00:33:16,440 only thing that's convenient. They got a ton of fans here. 669 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,400 I went last night, But I think l LSU and 670 00:33:19,519 --> 00:33:22,680 Arkansas by far, I mean, I don't know that anybody 671 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,079 else even has a fourth as many fans here. Oregon 672 00:33:25,079 --> 00:33:27,920 State brought a good bit, but they're out now coastal. 673 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,839 Some little uc LA no good for baseball. They were 674 00:33:31,839 --> 00:33:34,279 like two hundred fans here, And yeah, Louisville's not like 675 00:33:34,359 --> 00:33:35,640 friends and family. 676 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 3: But not necessarily the most family. 677 00:33:40,759 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 8: Had a few fans, But Arkansas Shoe is gonna be 678 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,720 like Arkansas actually had sixty percent of the crowd Saturday 679 00:33:46,799 --> 00:33:47,319 night I heard. 680 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:52,759 Speaker 2: So there's multiple team fans, but I would assume most 681 00:33:52,759 --> 00:33:55,119 people are bought barstool fans. So how's it been for 682 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,279 you walking around Mingland with people? I'm sure you get 683 00:33:57,279 --> 00:33:59,559 recognized a lot that what kind of content have you 684 00:33:59,559 --> 00:34:02,559 been created doing there? And just how's the trip been 685 00:34:02,599 --> 00:34:04,960 for you personally? With all these different fan bases. 686 00:34:05,599 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 8: Man, it's so much fun. Look, I caught fire here 687 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,960 in twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two when I 688 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,719 was here the whole time of Missippi State and Ole 689 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,960 miss went and so I feel like I've been piggybacking 690 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,760 off that since. But just walking around, I mean, when 691 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,159 LSU's playing, I mean it really gets wild because everybody 692 00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:28,599 from Louisiana definitely knows me out there, but man, walking 693 00:34:28,639 --> 00:34:32,920 around last night, still a ton of support. Always say 694 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,960 the college baseball content. You know, my baseball illustrious baseball 695 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,639 career ended right field. I was fourteen years old, So 696 00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:41,880 I don't know that anybody cares about me talking about 697 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,000 how to who's got a plus slider or any technical 698 00:34:45,039 --> 00:34:47,039 aspects of the game. So I'm kind of there more 699 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,079 to get out and just get wild with the fans 700 00:34:50,119 --> 00:34:53,199 and kind of capture the just what the College Wall 701 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,559 Series really is, because it's the think about the College 702 00:34:56,599 --> 00:34:59,599 World Series. I think the size of it is what 703 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,280 makes great. It's like big, but it's not too big. 704 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,400 And you look at like the final four college football 705 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:08,360 National Championship, those are so so huge, But college World Series, 706 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,119 you got twenty three thousand people. Everybody's going to the 707 00:35:11,119 --> 00:35:14,840 same bars, restaurants, you see team you know, the players, 708 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,760 the families, the coaches, every you know, it's like we're 709 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,760 all everybody's kind of together on it, and I think 710 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,880 that's like part of what makes it so great. 711 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 3: All right, So tonight it is going to be a 712 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:32,360 heavyweight battle between LSU and Arkansas MENCI like any anyway, 713 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,800 you're leaning towards maybe how LSU starts the game. We've 714 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,480 been talking about it all morning. You use Cason Evans 715 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,599 last night, I mean yesterday, I guess early in the morning. 716 00:35:41,639 --> 00:35:45,480 He was electric, and you've used Kate Anderson Anthony ianson 717 00:35:45,559 --> 00:35:47,880 only pitches forty four pitches, but you could keep him 718 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,320 in your back pocket maybe for tomorrow if necessary. So 719 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,320 how do you think LSU is going to play it today? 720 00:35:54,079 --> 00:35:57,079 Speaker 8: Well, first of all, obviously, trust Jay Johnson a hell 721 00:35:57,119 --> 00:35:59,360 of a lot more than whatever I have to say here, 722 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,239 because job he's I mean, he's just unbelievable, how good 723 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,360 a job he's doing. Heaven said that. I think there's 724 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,679 a dangerous thing here to be a little fat and 725 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,119 happy when you're in the winner's bracket, Like you kind 726 00:36:11,119 --> 00:36:13,079 of feel like you're already there because you only have 727 00:36:13,119 --> 00:36:15,920 to beat him once in two games, and you kind 728 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,199 of there's like a mindset thing where it's like, oh, 729 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,320 we can not throw, you know, not throw our top guys. 730 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,719 We could just have to use them Thursday. I mean, 731 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,800 I think you should just bring ionson back and try 732 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,079 to win this thing right now, because Arkansas is really good. 733 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,039 I'm curious y'all is lsu fans. I mean, y'all are 734 00:36:32,079 --> 00:36:35,280 probably more worried about Arkansas. The coastal Carolina's really hot, 735 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,599 don't get me wrong, but you know, just because you're 736 00:36:37,599 --> 00:36:39,360 in the winners bracket, you don't want to let Arkansas 737 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,960 hang around. And when you look at Arkansas right now, 738 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,880 you know, gauge Wood through that no hitter Monday, and 739 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,480 Zach Rupe pitched into seventh or eighth Tuesday, so they 740 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,000 got their whole bullpen. I think you'll be seeing they 741 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,480 gave Gagle, who pitched the five innings and struck out ten. 742 00:36:52,519 --> 00:36:55,280 For you know, he pitched great on Saturday, even in 743 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,760 the loss. So I don't know. I think this is 744 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,320 a spot where I mean, I understand you keep your 745 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,000 guys in your back pocket to try to set up 746 00:37:04,039 --> 00:37:06,119 the national championship, but I would try to win this 747 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,000 dand thing like right now, because baseball is such a 748 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,480 momentum weird sport BARGANSA comes out wins this game all 749 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,920 of a sudden, you're looking up tomorrow one of those 750 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,000 winner take halls where it's like a hold onto your 751 00:37:17,079 --> 00:37:20,119 nuts kind of situation. I mean, I don't know, I 752 00:37:20,199 --> 00:37:21,079 do everything. 753 00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:24,679 Speaker 3: And and Jay has shown in the past mency that 754 00:37:24,679 --> 00:37:27,079 that's exactly what he is going to do. Like even 755 00:37:27,119 --> 00:37:29,639 go back to last year, Engaged Jump came in to 756 00:37:29,639 --> 00:37:31,760 try to close the game out against North Carolina in 757 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,800 a regional Anthony Jinson has come in and he's had 758 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,280 to shut the door in a game. Uh. Like, if 759 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,480 Anthony Iinson like says, hey, I can go like giving 760 00:37:40,519 --> 00:37:42,360 me the ball, like, Jay's not going to be afraid 761 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,000 to try to end it right now. Like, Jay's got 762 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,119 the same mindset that you're talking about there. He doesn't 763 00:37:47,119 --> 00:37:49,360 want to work. That's why Caseen Evans pitch is yesterday. 764 00:37:49,599 --> 00:37:53,519 You don't mess around with throwing a Jade nude or 765 00:37:53,559 --> 00:37:56,719 throwing any anybody else in that situation. That's why you 766 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,760 throw Caseen Evans yesterday. So, I mean, I don't I 767 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,800 don't know the likelihood. But if Anthony Jinsen says give 768 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,280 me the damn ball and he feels good, then Jay's 769 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,199 gonna do it to win today not tomorrow. 770 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think I just I'm all for that. Like 771 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,719 I said twenty twenty two, O'll miss Arkansas or in 772 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,599 this exact same spot, and Arkansas won this game to 773 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,360 force a Thursday game that ultimately will miss won two nothing. 774 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,079 So it kind of reminds me of that just because 775 00:38:23,119 --> 00:38:26,000 Arkansas is involved. And look, Arkansas is a really good 776 00:38:26,039 --> 00:38:29,280 baseball team. I know LSU Kata Anderson through an unbelievable 777 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,000 game Saturday night, but you know you went into this. 778 00:38:32,119 --> 00:38:34,159 I'm sure LSU fans thought the same thing. It was 779 00:38:34,199 --> 00:38:36,199 kind of like it's gonna be us for them. You 780 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,400 saw this bracket, and so I just think, like I said, 781 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,400 you gotta be real careful just because you won that 782 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,199 first one to not get a little get a little 783 00:38:44,199 --> 00:38:45,880 fat and happy and lazy. But I think it's gonna 784 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,079 be a heck of a game. I can't wait to 785 00:38:48,079 --> 00:38:50,239 see the atmosphere. I'm so excited that I get to 786 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,880 go tonight. You know, Arkansas is actually a slight favorite here. 787 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,679 I'm seeing Arkansas minus one thirty LSU coming back at 788 00:38:57,159 --> 00:38:59,320 even money, So that kind of, you know, shows you 789 00:38:59,400 --> 00:38:59,920 what's going on. 790 00:39:00,159 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 2: So who does Ben Mints think is gonna win tonight? 791 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,239 Who we put I know you, I know you like 792 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,679 to do you like to dabble with the gambles a 793 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,360 little bit. So who were putting our money on tonight? 794 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,000 Who do we think, we think this thing's over tonight, 795 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:13,599 we play again tomorrow. 796 00:39:14,039 --> 00:39:16,159 Speaker 8: Well, I look, if Jay I got to see what 797 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,800 happens with Anthony Jonson if he pitched. If he's pitching, 798 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,519 I'm taking LSU because I know he didn't. I know 799 00:39:21,599 --> 00:39:23,679 Anthony didn't pitch well in that first inning, but he 800 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,039 was selling down Monday. I just really believe in him. 801 00:39:27,119 --> 00:39:30,480 I know y'all watch LSU baseball. The way he competes 802 00:39:30,519 --> 00:39:33,199 in battles. He impressed me so much all year. If 803 00:39:33,199 --> 00:39:36,400 he's starting, I'm taking LSU. If he doesn't start, I'm 804 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,000 laying off it because I really think that if he pitches, 805 00:39:40,079 --> 00:39:42,159 LSU gets this done tonight. But if he doesn't pitch, 806 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,360 I feel like Arkansas could be forcing the game tomorrow. 807 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,199 Speaker 3: MINTI last one before we let you go. We appreciate 808 00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,000 the time. Whoever wins between LSU and Arkansas and gets 809 00:39:52,039 --> 00:39:55,079 to the Championship Series, is that who you're taking to 810 00:39:55,079 --> 00:39:56,159 win the College World Series? 811 00:39:57,639 --> 00:39:57,880 Speaker 8: Man? 812 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 3: Coastal so that lost two month, dude, they have twenty. 813 00:40:01,599 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 8: Five straight wins and Coastal's got three good starters, two 814 00:40:04,519 --> 00:40:07,960 good relievers. They wanted Auburn and that super sweeping them. 815 00:40:08,679 --> 00:40:11,840 I don't know. I think Coastal handles Louisville pretty easily today. 816 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,599 I think Louisville's out of pitching. And then when you 817 00:40:13,679 --> 00:40:16,880 look at this final four, like Coastal, LSU, and Arkansas 818 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,639 are all really good and Louisville, I mean, it's impressive 819 00:40:19,679 --> 00:40:21,400 they made it there, but I don't think they're like 820 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,920 elite or anything like that. So I think Coastal gets 821 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,679 it done, and then they might have an edge in 822 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,199 the title series just because they don't have to play 823 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,639 a Thursday, so you know, they're so hot. I mean, 824 00:40:32,679 --> 00:40:35,280 I feel like if it's Coastal LSU, it's I mean, 825 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,159 LSU probably like fifty five percent to win. Yeah, but 826 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,000 like Coastal is serious, you know, just because they're not 827 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:42,800 Power five, And I mean, I. 828 00:40:43,559 --> 00:40:45,760 Speaker 3: Don't know they've won a national championship. That doesn't like 829 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,599 mid major doesn't matter anymore for them. They're like Gonzaga 830 00:40:48,599 --> 00:40:50,760 and basketball like that. That's going out the window. 831 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,079 Speaker 8: Yeah, But the atmosphere, I'm all tons LSU fans seeing 832 00:40:55,079 --> 00:40:57,760 a lot of Waisiana people. I'm sure a whole you know, 833 00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,480 the way it's designed. If they make the National champions Series, 834 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:01,880 you're gonna see legions of people. 835 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,360 Speaker 3: Oh wow, yeah, yeah. 836 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 8: I remember last year, two years ago, the stories about 837 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,280 they had like a six or seven am flight out 838 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,079 of New Orleans on Sunday before Game two. In the 839 00:41:11,079 --> 00:41:14,360 New Orleans airport was just raging at four am before 840 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,960 that flight. I feel like a similar thing's coming. But 841 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,559 it's just incredible for Lush, you'd already be back here 842 00:41:20,559 --> 00:41:22,519 two years later. I mean that twenty twenty three team 843 00:41:22,559 --> 00:41:24,039 is one of the greatest teams of all time, with 844 00:41:24,119 --> 00:41:26,840 Paul Skiings and Cruise and all the talent, and you know, 845 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:31,199 Jay Johnson's just he's just so dialed into this modern world. 846 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,280 The way he crushes the portal. I mean, he's just 847 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,400 absolutely phenomenal. I know y'all have him on the show 848 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,000 a lot, but he I can't. I can't say an 849 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,119 off and you know, I feel, you know, I would say, 850 00:41:42,119 --> 00:41:43,719 oh shoes, you know, I would. 851 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,199 Speaker 3: Say that it's light favorite to win it all right now? 852 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,320 All right, there he is been Min's barstool Sports, good 853 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,679 enough to join us boots on the ground from Omaha. Ben, 854 00:41:50,679 --> 00:41:52,960 We appreciate the time and enjoy the game and the 855 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:59,840 scenes tonight, Oh, I assure you I will, all right, 856 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,360 we'll take one more break here in our number two. 857 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,920 We still got Ben McDonald's set to join us at 858 00:42:06,039 --> 00:42:10,239 nine thirty to give us his breakdown. He's probably got 859 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,559 a pretty good idea of the mentality that Jay Johnson 860 00:42:13,639 --> 00:42:16,119 is looking for tonight on the mound. I would say 861 00:42:16,119 --> 00:42:19,199 Ben's probably an expert in that category. So looking forward 862 00:42:19,199 --> 00:42:21,960 to that conversation. We'll wrap up our number two when 863 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,719 we come back here on one oh four five ESPN bat. 864 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 1: Roof off the bench. 865 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,320 Speaker 3: I go to Pelican roof dot com.
