Twitter last night?
Speaker 6: So mad?
Speaker 4: It's so mad and I agree with it, agree with
because I think I even I might have lied to
our listeners as well, because I think I quoted that tweet.
Speaker 5: I think multiple weeks.
Speaker 6: Yeah Taylor did.
Speaker 5: If you're not one what we're talking about, no idea
it was yeah, yeah, it was the tweet.
Speaker 4: I think it was a bleacher report, right, Yeah. On
July twenty fourth, said this is the last Thursday for
the rest of twenty twenty five without football.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well yesterday, what day was yesterday? It was Thursday?
What did I say?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: Was that? Yeah, he said it was. It was Thursday.
Was the last Thursday?
Speaker 3: Rhetorical thing that we all answered though.
Speaker 2: No, that was a tweet.
Speaker 5: I pulled it up on screen the last night on.
Speaker 8: Twitter because he's so mad about it. He kept tweeting
it was so funny.
Speaker 5: It was great. I was laughing my tail off last night.
It is true. I was all excited.
Speaker 6: Yesterday Bleacher Report lied to us.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean the Tendu Chargers got better, but okay,
Coach Gate yesterday, I was there. I was walking in.
Speaker 5: Late late like the guy. It's his facility, right, I.
Speaker 3: Had to check I had to check everything out. We
had something going on sitting there.
Speaker 4: All us, all US coaches are there at the Elite
Training Academy Flag Football preseason coaches meeting to vote on
very important rules, to discuss what's going to happen. The
challenge is how we're gonna all become part of this
one United League together. Everybody was there except for the
person who ridiculed me.
Speaker 3: I got there at six o three and I was
checking the surroundings of the building.
Speaker 4: Earlier on time. If you're on time, you're late. But
what happens if you're actually late the meeting?
Speaker 3: The meeting weights and it starts when you get there
like it did yesterday.
Speaker 5: That was very rude.
Speaker 3: I should upstates not shown up after killing hey. But
I will say there was one of the coaches that
was in that meeting that said I knew about the
meeting because I heard y'all talking about it on radio,
So shout out, Yeah, nobody chucks their group me nobody.
Speaker 5: I mean there's a lot of organizations that use it
as well, like we used.
Speaker 3: It for like all the leagues, all the baseball that
we play, every football team, soccer team, basketball team that
all my kids play on. It's great.
Speaker 4: How did how did Youth Sports just decide that that
was the app we're going with? That's the one group me.
It seems like everybody's on the same page that they
run like a social media ad.
Speaker 5: I don't know, there's multiple different.
Speaker 4: Ways you could just do a regular group text, but
I guess people that don't have iPhones always ruin.
Speaker 6: Those Yeah, they do.
Speaker 5: Is that the worst type of person in the world.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're doing it to be a contrarian, and I
know that's.
Speaker 5: The only reason they're doing it.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to put names to it, but it's
a it's a friend of both of ours that does it,
and his whole family is non iPhone people, and I
judge them every single time I see the.
Speaker 5: Green No, I'll I'll call them that.
Speaker 4: Josh to Sherry, he's one of them, then anything about him.
Speaker 5: One of my best good buds and he ruins every
single group.
Speaker 3: In fantasy football with so Teel, You're right he is.
He's green.
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 4: And I hate it because it's like you try to
like do like the thumbs up, like little reaction to it,
and it's just like that Flynn liked and it just
spells out the entire it's the worst. Get an iPhone
or you know what, if you don't have an iPhone,
just can they'll just figure out the technology. Yeah, between
the iPhone and what, I don't know what else they use,
Chris and.
Speaker 3: Game changer is much better. A game changer is awesome.
That's a baseball you know, game changers a baseball softball
I don't think they.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's a it's a baseball softball specific
group chat application.
Speaker 3: So game Changer you can actually watch the games. Like
so if you were out of town from my high
and Huck had a baseball game, it's just like watching
like if you're watching a game cast on ESPN, Like
it's right in front.
Speaker 4: Of you and like the score and you have to
have a parent volunteer for that to set that up.
Speaker 5: I got the game. We're looking for volunteers every week
to every team.
Speaker 3: Like there's one person that is like in charge of
Game Changer, and that person usually like they want it.
They you know, they'll make the comments like oh good,
but they really want to do game Changer, Yeah.
Speaker 5: Like it.
Speaker 3: Should we should we come up with the football version
if there's not already one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you could just probably use the same
app for a different sport.
Speaker 3: I know, I don't know. I don't know if Game
Changers football or now it's just a video right, well,
but some like not every game has video, and so
if it doesn't, you know, like if you're watching like
a game cast on ESPN, like not the actual but
it's like who's up to bat and where they hit
the ball and how many runners are on It has
that like a huck Flynn's up the bat, he hits
a double and it shows him on second base right until.
Speaker 5: You have no idea, no talk it though, wet. You
just go to the games.
Speaker 3: Because you're in Ohio slinging my high Okay, I like it.
You never missed a game because you've had business.
Speaker 5: I try not to.
Speaker 3: I didn't ask if you tried. I know you try.
Speaker 5: I think I missed one.
Speaker 3: So I walked in this straight for grandparents.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can see that.
Speaker 6: Grandparents.
Speaker 5: I'm not I'm not hating. I'm just trying to be
a contrarian. Right now.
Speaker 6: You're being an android user.
Speaker 4: I'm being an YEP. I disliked your statement of my
thumbs down.
Speaker 6: It thumbs down the star position.
Speaker 3: Oh somebody else said something to us about that as
well yesterday.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I would say most people that I spoke with yesterday
agreed with me, which they should.
Speaker 3: I'm not agreeing or disagreeing. I'm just defining what it
is in everyone's mind that calls it a star. That's
what they have, that's a thought process that they have
in that position.
Speaker 5: Back in the they can call it Ronald McDonald if
they want.
Speaker 3: There's probably somebody that does. Probably somebody who's red and
yellow Iowa State. They might call it Ronald McDonald.
Speaker 4: I don't know's ask Bobby today. Whatever what they call it,
Aho State, I can tell you what they call just talking.
Speaker 8: Probably it's probably And Taylor's like, are we ready?
Speaker 6: Do you have your number thirteen ready to go?
Speaker 8: And I was like, yes, but I feel like it
might be a little because I'm number thirteen today.
Speaker 6: I'm I think it's going to be unpopular in the room.
Speaker 3: Maybe.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: I'm going with it matter, but I'm going unpopular on
off campus today.
Speaker 5: So it doesn't matter unless we don't like it, then
you gotta change it.
Speaker 3: I'm not changing it, but all right, So, uh, here's
the defensive positions they have for the buck guys. They
runn A four to two five. We've got a d
N base, we've got a d ND a nose tackle,
a defensive tackle, a rush, a will linebacker, a MIC linebacker, corner,
strong free corner, nickel. So they have a position called rush. No, oh,
that's fine, but star is not rush.
Speaker 5: I mean, rush's defensive end. I mean.
Speaker 3: What so in that when you can just handwave it
and be like, oh, let's let's defensive end, it's fine.
But when somebody calls something a star, see, I.
Speaker 4: Mean it's it's the same point I made yesterday. Or
Rush would just be a defensive end. You call him
a hybrid whatever, and it's gonna be like like Clay
Matthews type situation. I called Clay Matthews a defensive end.
Even though sometimes you got listed as an outside linebacker,
I don't know what's happening around.
Speaker 3: Sometimes you got listed as other things. Uh, what do
you mean?
Speaker 5: You're just quiet?
Speaker 4: Every time I talk x's nose spit some truth over here.
Speaker 3: It's a dramatic pause. Oh hey, hey, all jokes aside
we did. We got like things that are actually hung
up in the office. And that plan that we showed
Kate Clubnit yesterday against Appalachian State, that was a lot
of fun. We went and drew it up. App State
played it awful, awful yeap, three guys that had the
back in May and it looked like so that was fun.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: We because we played the clip yesterday during the show,
we were kind of teaching what counter was and we
showed the clip of Clemson first game the season Verus
app State, which I think Kate clubn KT like you know,
counted for like ten or eleven touchdowns that game.
Speaker 5: It looked great.
Speaker 4: And then we started breaking it down a little bit
more and yeah, App State, you know they did app
State things. I guess they did not play it real well.
I would expect LSU to play it much better. So
after that, after watching it breaking it down more, was
not I was not impressed with what Clemson dead. I'll
say that.
Speaker 3: You too, whispering about back there.
Speaker 6: Dev's tweets to the Bleacher Report people like, there's one
that Taylor just showed me. It was like, bro few.
Speaker 7: Here's here with the Stefan Diggs because it's a bleacher Report.
Today is the last Thursday, so what Dev said? So
what game they got on tonight?
Speaker 5: Bro?
Speaker 7: And then here's the other one with Sirianni crying. I
can't believe a single thing on the internet that was
going off last.
Speaker 3: Night, man, I mean, was there a game schedule? They
got cancer and they all just screwed it up.
Speaker 7: I was, uh was driving home yesterday and Matt had
Jimmy on. Here's Jimmy on for the betting lines and everything,
and Jimmy made a good point. He's like he thinks
the NFL screwed it up, and I kind of do too,
because there were two games tonight.
Speaker 2: When did they ever play Friday night?
Speaker 5: Free season? They played Thursday, Friday Saturday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, did they ever do two?
Speaker 2: And no Thursday game?
Speaker 5: I don't know all I used to remember preseason they're being.
Speaker 7: Thursday game too, right, Yeah, I'm saying there's two Friday games.
Speaker 2: Like, I think the NFL screwed it up.
Speaker 8: Hum, because there's several pages so like Draft Kings posted it,
mL Football posted it, Fan Duel posted it, and he's
replied to every single person that posted it.
Speaker 3: I mean the NFL, I can't like maybe a team's like, hey,
uh can we push that back in day? Do we
have a schedule?
Speaker 5: I loved the Thursday games in the preseason, especially that
as we.
Speaker 3: Got Friday off Saturday, we kind of come in and
we'd have a training camp practice but it wouldn't be hardcore.
And then when our Sunday, you're right back at it.
Speaker 4: But my first year, so my rookie year, it was
like the ideal schedule it's like the perfect how you
would draw it up as a player for the preseason
schedule for UH preseason Game one on Sunday, Game two Saturday, Friday,
and then Thursday. So it was perfect because it was
six days in between each which allows you to get
like a couple of practices in. But some people, some
teams would be like they play the first week, they
played like Thursday or Friday, and then the next week
they played Sunday, so they'd have like three four, five
good hard practices in. We were it's a perfect situation
where they they kind of had to like taper us
off a lot, and so it kind of helped us out,
like help the legs a little bit. That was like
the way to me, the way preseason should be drawn up.
And of course I believe I believe it's the same
way now the last preseason game. All the games are
on Thursday, to give teams time that whole weekend their
cuts and get their rosters finalized, make trades, whatever it is.
So how does it work like timing wise with just
the three games, because I would assume they have two
weeks before their first game.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, because I'm still I.
Speaker 4: Still don't track the whole three three preseason games rather
than four.
Speaker 5: So right now they just have two full weeks before.
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, the long period of time before because we're
in week two.
Speaker 1: Mm.
Speaker 3: So it's sitting there trying to think when the cut. Yeah,
so the cuts are coming a little bit of different,
different timeline. But he used to you'd get Thursday Fridays
when the Yeah, the.
Speaker 4: Cuts, what happened Friday, and maybe they would trickle into
Saturday if there were some bubble guys and seeing if
they could get guys.
Speaker 3: Sometimes you get cut on a Sunday because von Miller
fails a drug test. That happens too after you've already
put your kids in school and sure signed the least.
Speaker 4: Signed that six monthly, the twelve month. See when you're
in Green Bay, a lot of month month rentals up there.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well I had three kids. Thought, you know, when
they said, hey, you're on the team, you're on the team.
Turns out you're not.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that happened quite a bit.
Speaker 4: It always happened to one or two people because I
thought they were on the team. Then they get they'd
get cut like the Sunday or Monday of the first
game week because you know, somebody else that the organization
on another team got cut that they didn't think would
be available, or somebody fails a drug test, or somebody
gets injured, and it's like, we wanted.
Speaker 5: To keep you.
Speaker 3: We need a linebacker.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have like two linebackers hurt. So now we
got to carry like eight linebackers on the roster.
Speaker 3: And sometimes you let John Elway know exactly what you
thought of that decision.
Speaker 5: How do you take it?
Speaker 3: But you just sat there and took it.
Speaker 5: He was like, Okay, yeah, he understood. You say what
you want.
Speaker 3: He did, and he let me and I fresh yourself, man,
I certainly did.
Speaker 4: I let the old boy I don't even remember his name,
probably terrible name, old boy at for the Jets, let
him hear it. They cut me, almost made me miss
my first child's birth. They had guaranteed me verbally with
a handshake that I'd be on the team for three games.
Speaker 3: Mmm, you should have known.
Speaker 5: I should have.
Speaker 3: The NFL hadn't worked like that. A bunch of snakes.
Speaker 4: First NFL game Thursday, September fourth, we got Tata's Dallas
Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 5: Excited, No, what's this?
Speaker 4: What do you season started, the the line is going
to be for that game.
Speaker 5: Let's just assume Michael Parsons plays.
Speaker 7: Division game, Parsons healthy first game of the year.
Speaker 2: I don't know, is it is it in Philly?
Speaker 5: It is it is?
Speaker 3: I don't know what because I believe that Oklahoma is
playing Temple that weekend for the next they're playing the
next weekend in Philly because Philly is going to Kansas
City the next week. So Philly starts at home, goes
to Casey, Oklahoma goes and is playing Temple and Stadium.
Speaker 7: I was gonna say around six, but if you go
to USBN dot com, USBN.
Speaker 2: Bed actually has it in Philly minus seven.
Speaker 5: Okay, No, I was gonna say six was the number.
I was like, I was gonna say six and a half.
Speaker 2: So that's kinda it's kind of right there.
Speaker 4: Look at us, we degenerates or what we can just
like think of these lines top of our head.
Speaker 3: You have to be a degenerate to be a Cowboys fan.
All right, we'll take our first break of the show.
When we come back, let's get into a little LSU
training camp and we'll do it right here on ot
be off the bench, all right, go to get Gordon

Speaker 4: Ok We are excited, Elandra and Tat because we just
came up with a new music theme that could possibly
be a weekly thing.
Speaker 5: Jacob is very upset about it.
Speaker 3: We're thinking about show up here half of the time
for the music.
Speaker 5: Funky Friday is what we're thinking.
Speaker 6: Sorry, can't we play slam dunk the funk?
Speaker 5: Yeah, because it has the name.
Speaker 3: If we're gonna do that, then I kinda get behind
that part of.
Speaker 4: So we'll funky Friday. See what you think in the
chat here. Let us know R and B Thursday.
Speaker 3: Okay, because we did that before you got here. But
we can do this show five years before you got here.
So it's called seniority.
Speaker 5: Technically I was on the show.
Speaker 3: Well, now you showed up seven times in five years.
Speaker 5: Inaccurate. Okay, it is so inaccurate. I donated my time.
Speaker 3: Drink my high dot com get hydrated. There was no
reason you came in. Let's get the show started, Funky Friday.
Speaker 1: It's time to get glow were hydration vitamins and a
summer ready glow are always on tap now for starters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you get y'all thinking about other things, thinking
about monkey Friday.
Speaker 6: I also clicked it.
Speaker 3: It just was landra. Do you know why football pants
don't have pockets? Yes, no place to put all those
excuses baseball pants, baseball guys. A lot of pockets back
our pockets on a lot of a lot of pockets back.
Speaker 5: There a lot of excuses.
Speaker 3: Hmm. Go to go flowiv dot com Go flow iv
SPA two two five nine five three eight one five zero.
That is the number. It is hot, it is humid.
Go ahead, be proactive, get hydrated. But let's say you
had a night that turned into a little bit more
fun than you thought it was going to. Yeah, that
is okay because you can also go afterwards and you
will feel much better after go seeing our friends over
a go flow iv spot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got no excuse to be walking around feeling
all bad out there. If you're drink a little too much,
if you're a little bit under the weather. The strange
string of hot weather colds has been running around Baton Rouge.
I went last week signed up. I was in and
out in thirty minutes, So you can go. If you're
curious about IV treatment, just go go to their website,
see their menu of services, see what.
Speaker 5: They can do on the right there on Jefferson Highway.
Go flow IVY.
Speaker 3: All right, we are fifteen days away from LSU kickoff.
Definitely think Malachi Dupree. I think Brandon Taylor, bef.
Speaker 2: Miles Brennan, if you want to go quarterback in.
Speaker 3: For sure, Brandon Taylor before he wore eighteen, Carrie Vincent
before he switched his number to number five.
Speaker 5: I think.
Speaker 3: The DJ Chark like early early where fifteen maybe no,
he was eighty three to seven or something like that.
I thought like there was like a half of a
spring practice situation where you wore fifteen.
Speaker 5: You could add some plately like three keelon Williams.
Speaker 3: That's not how that works. And if you're going to
add a couple of number five, you could have gone
with the Heisman Trophy winner.
Speaker 5: Well, I'd recently seen a clip of Keeling. It was
so it's fresh on the mind.
Speaker 6: Thankyan was fifteen, that.
Speaker 2: Age was fifteen.
Speaker 3: Was swigging somebody's good Keeling? Gets Virginia Tech.
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably, Yeah, yeah, hurdle baller. I just thought of
another quarterbay strange play call yep. Gerard Randall number him
for the Arizona very good. So if you want to
go more quarterbacks theres, I'd say based on that list,
I'd say retire it.
Speaker 3: Why would we do that?
Speaker 5: Great list? Very good?
Speaker 3: But everybody that had it switched to another number because
they were like this, ain't it?
Speaker 5: Because they age switched.
Speaker 3: Carry Vincent switched, Brandon Taylor switched.
Speaker 7: Gerard Randall was so Maddy switched schools because they knew
that they couldn't quite fill it.
Speaker 5: Pill what.
Speaker 3: I don't know who's number fifteen this year?
Speaker 7: So you have to you have Philip Right and then
no linebacker Jaden Breaker? Two freshmen. You're laugh at that, dude,
not laughing at anything. Fifteen days away for the Tigers.
Speaker 5: I'm excited.
Speaker 6: Favorite number fifteen on LS Do you go Brandon Taylor?
Speaker 5: For sure?
Speaker 3: I'll go.
Speaker 2: I'll go Malika.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Malachi Dupre because I'm like, whenever I first came
to LSU, I met him, so I think that's pretty cool.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go Malachi Dupri.
Speaker 5: Also, I said Breaker. What was his first name? Jayden
JB your boy, Jayden.
Speaker 2: Daniels was five. That's almost three.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Mmmmm did Jayden wear fifteen for like three practices before
you got five? I want to say, I remember seeing him,
and he also said nah, saying.
Speaker 4: That I know I've told this story before, but I'll
tell it again. When I got drafted on draft day,
I was out at the golf course.
Speaker 3: You get drafted on draft day?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was well, tay three. Uh Yeah, I was
out on the golf course. I didn't want to like
have family and friends over because I was just like,
I didn't want to do that. I'm like, look, I'm
not like a first or second rounder, So we're just
gonna go to the golf course.
Speaker 5: That's what I'm gonna like, I'm a block out.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna ask the golf course to block out like
an hour and a half of tea times for me,
my family, my friends.
Speaker 3: It's you're here, Tyler, because I uh.
Speaker 5: It was it. We was up at the bluffs.
Speaker 4: Actually, we went up to the bluffs and because I
wanted to play, like I wanted to play, like twelve
or thirteen of my people wanted to play.
Speaker 5: We all wanted to play together.
Speaker 4: So we want to play like a twelve soth So
it was like block an hour and a half, two
hours whatever it was of tea times.
Speaker 5: We're gonna go out there. We're all gonna play together
because it's.
Speaker 4: Draft day, and uh, you know, I was up there
and then I was like, maybe this wasn't a great
a day because I don't have a great cell phone
service up here at the Bluff's golf course at same
didn't have great cell phone service. But we caught some
pockets and we were on one of the one of
the fairways I can't remember.
Speaker 3: I was like, on twelve, did you get a pocket
of seale service on that heel that almost died on?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've got good service there. Yeah, real good, pretty
big splul hill. You almost died on that one. I
wouldn't have been the first, but I get the call
from the packers and I, uh, they were asking me,
you know we're gonna draft you.
Speaker 5: Great, We're all celebrating, like okay, well what number would
you like?
Speaker 4: I'm like, well, yeah, it's fifteen available, and and the
guy just like chuckles, He's like, yeah, you don't really
know much about the Green Bay Packers, do you.
Speaker 5: And I'm like no, sirah, I don't like.
Speaker 4: Well, we had a guy named bart Star, I can't
really use fifteen. I was like, all right, well I guess,
like what else is available? And they're like, you like three, ten,
nineteen thirty. I was like ten, let's just go to ten. Yeah,
we'll do that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah. If you wren nineteen, I would have ridiculed you
for a long time. Yeah, it's a bad number.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 5: I think I wore. I think I wore either nineteen
or thirteen in Buffalo exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's bad.
Speaker 5: Wasn't great.
Speaker 3: That's bad. I've told I've told mine. They called and
I wanted twenty because a Rocky Blier played for the Steelers,
a veteran in Vietnam. Notre Dame guy, but just hard tough,
like physical running back, fullback, kind of hybrid guy. But
case on our first round, puck picked took twenty, and
so they called me like, hey, we got twenty, two,
thirty three, forty four, which are all pretty good options,
so we'd have we you know, we had some cold
pops before because I got drafted before the party even started,
because we messed the time up, and so like I'm
on the phone I'm just like yelling. I'm like, hey,
twenty two three, forty four, all right, and just trying
to get like feedback. And I think Katie and my
older brother both like twenty two.
Speaker 5: So that w like what.
Speaker 4: I don't mean this disrespectfully, but like you don't you
wouldn't fill out a forty four. I don't think forty
four big like neck roll and wore.
Speaker 3: Forty four my short time with the New Orleans Saints
look pretty damn good.
Speaker 5: I just know, like you, I don't feel like you
got the size for forty four.
Speaker 3: I got a turtleback. I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 5: I don't mean that disrespect like you were. You were
like all you need to come up, like with a
name for your position, like a hybrid running back, fullback.
Speaker 3: Let's let the chat do it.
Speaker 4: So we all want to put weird names on positions. Yeah,
different different skill sets of players.
Speaker 3: You know, it is funny, and yeah, we'll talk lu
at some point maybe for the Internet.
Speaker 5: This week, I don't play for fifteen days.
Speaker 3: Yeah this The Internet this week had a big discussion,
was Mike allstart a big tailback or a full back?
Say he's a full back full back. He's a fullback
that could towed it. And they're like, well yeah, but
there was times where lorenzo' neil would line up in
front of him.
Speaker 5: I'm like, okay, he would play the running back position.
That's feah.
Speaker 3: Did you have a neck roll? Yes? Did he have grit?
Did he stay low?
Speaker 5: It's full back.
Speaker 3: Now exactly? Yeah, that those kind of vibes. Ye, Mike
all starts to fullback. Don't try to take him from us.
Try to take him from us and put him in
t J. Duckett Lamb where he's just a big running back.
Speaker 4: Two thousand and seven. Would you consider yourself a running
back or a full back?
Speaker 8: You?
Speaker 3: O seven?
Speaker 5: Probably runn running back.
Speaker 3: The only time I ever got at full back that
year is if Trendon was a tailback.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we did like belly pitch.
Speaker 5: You never went in at fullback with Charles or Keeland
or it was really just it was.
Speaker 3: The only time I remember even going in at full
back with any of those guys was against Arkansas when
we hit the big sixty five yard rail, they got
called back. People don't know how Arkansas didn't like see
that coming, But.
Speaker 4: People in the chat are calling that hybrid position that
you played, stumpy. I'll take that stump back.
Speaker 3: Oh, I like that.
Speaker 4: Stump back's probably yet right. Well, y'all don't understand is
like I embrace all that absolutely. Like coach called me
stubby legs, I roll with it. Yeah, if he sees
me to this day, he'll say, what's up stub or stubby?
Speaker 5: Yep, all right, the stubby legs getting that tuition and
books paid for.
Speaker 3: That's right. So I don't Yeah, I like it. Stump
back is actually pretty good.
Speaker 4: So all right, Speaking of jerseys, like when does LSU
is there like a normal time frame during training camp
before the season starts where they do the whole number seven,
number eight teams they already got seven.
Speaker 3: Guess per is back? Now there's no like, hey, on
this day day left.
Speaker 5: After our last scrimmage camp Monday of the first game.
Speaker 3: Now, it's usually like whenever the coaches and BKA I
guess kind of decide that they've got who they want
to wear it and to think, I think this one's
easy and we'll tell you who it is on the
other side off the bench.
Speaker 5: Nice tease.

Speaker 1: Down, Tigers, turn talkers, this is off the bench, get.
Speaker 5: It all right.
Speaker 3: Welcome back, an OTB one oh four five ESPN Beton Ruge.
All right, flor is yours. You said, uh, you know
who's gonna wear a nub eighteen this year?
Speaker 2: And it's it's it's time you give it to a quarterback.
I think it has to be Garrett Nosmeyer. I mean
he stayed.
Speaker 7: He's a fifty year guy. He could have transferred, went
to a lot of other places, didn't stuck around. He
wanted to be here, Like it's it has to be
Garrett Garrett Smyer.
Speaker 3: Just add a little loop here and a little loop there.
It turns thirteen into eighteen. The first quarterback since our guy,
Matt Mauck.
Speaker 4: It does bring up a really interesting question that every
player who gets offered the number, they have to accept
the number as well. For sure, a guy that you
have that's I have a lot of success. There's been
like people are very superstitious about their jersey.
Speaker 3: There's been one player. There's only been one. There's only
been one player that I think would have probably gotten
it if he would have kind of accepted it, Okay,
but his number was kind of his it's his deal. Yeah,
I mean numbers are important for sure.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean athletes are superstitious, like in general.
So but if you've if you've had the success under
one number, it is hard to change, whether there's tradition
there or not. I'm not saying he shouldn't if like
it's offered to Garrett, I should not saying he shouldn't
do it, But I bet it's gonna be like, all right, well,
can you give me a day?
Speaker 5: Can you let me think about it?
Speaker 6: Like wait is probably the easy answer to.
Speaker 3: That's yes, that's who I think. Yeah, Wood should probably shout.
Speaker 8: He is quickly becoming like one of my favorite all
time LSU players, and last year was like a really
big like it moved him up in the rankings for sure,
especially after he shot gun the ball.
Speaker 5: This yeah for sure.
Speaker 3: Like again, I say this story all the time. L
She's only brought me in ever owned one recruit and
it was with because they were like, we see him
wearing eighteen before he leaves here and he was in
high school and they're like, that's why we want to
bring you in. I think he fits, is it? You know,
a lot of the checks, a lot of the boxes.
Speaker 7: Defensive was that that makes a lot of sense. But look,
if we're throwing out names. We know what eighteam is
all about, Like, you gotta be a leader, you gotta
be a guy that's you know, kind of been there,
done that, Kobin Guillory. True, and he's a He's a
vocal guy on that D line. This is sixth year
because he's battled injuries. Like, if I'm thinking outside the box,
that's another option.
Speaker 4: Is it hyperbole to say that with Weeks might be
one of my favorite human beings on Earth?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 3: No, not at all.
Speaker 4: Is that I say that we would have I would
have forced myself to be like best buzzs with him
if we were same age.
Speaker 5: No doubt.
Speaker 6: I think that would have been like a naturally occurring friendship.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I remember last season because you know, last
season was like Blake Baker's first season at LSU, if I'm.
Speaker 3: Remembering correctly as coordinator.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well yeah, and then because he was at the Zoo,
and then the year before, you know, Wit had a
good season, but he didn't have Blake Baker at the head.
So I remember like last season going into it, we
were like who's the one player you want to see?
Or like what's the one thing you want to see?
And I was like I want to see what Blake
Baker can do with with with wit Weeks, and what
he did was incredible. And I'm really excited for this
season too, because we.
Speaker 3: Talked a lot last off season about what he did
with the mont Clark because everybody's like, oh, the died
the moon can't play camp Plus I think he can play.
I mean, he's incredibly talented, smart, uh football player. And
I remember when Blake got here, He's like, how did
y'all not have that guy on the field? Like he
was blown away, Like if you ask him to this
days like that was I was not very smart to
not have dimone Clark out on the field more. And
they turned him into somebody that is a pro now.
I mean he plays with the Cowboys. Had a monster
monster last year at LSU, and we kind of talked
about it because Harold Perkins was moving the linebacker, like
what can he do with Perk was really whited. That
probably gained the most from having Blake Baker as his coach.
Speaker 5: How do we feel about two people wearing eighteen?
Speaker 3: I'd prefer one.
Speaker 5: I never I never understood the double numbers.
Speaker 3: I was a coach O thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he did it last year yeah, I know, I know,
I know we do it. I know we did it.
I don't like It's just I don't like any like
any number being there's one, you know, whatever number it is,
twenty on the offensive defense, but especially like eighteen. Eighteen
should be like a singular thing.
Speaker 8: Isn't there like a seven aspect to like you give
seven to certain players?
Speaker 3: Playmaker?
Speaker 6: Yeah, so what about a playmaker? So about wit seven?
Speaker 2: Well, Perk's already seven because he's back this year.
Speaker 5: When I take it back whatever, I don't even like
eight star. You said something nice, I did say something nice.
I take it back. Eighteen is a dumb take it away,
get take it back.
Speaker 7: I think the first time they did that, it was
like they gave it to I believe Lockature in the
Spring and then JD.
Speaker 2: Moore in the Fall or vice versa.
Speaker 3: Moore is like one of the best human beings. Gelever
me like JD wearing eighteen. They made all the sense
in the world for sure, Right real quick, go around
the room, favorite eighteen. I'm gonna make you say, pick
one favorite eighteen.
Speaker 5: Favorite one any logan that's a great.
Speaker 6: One, Jacob Hester, No, I can't pick. You can't think
of another one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't. And you and you really like this
human like you always talk about how much you enjoy.
Speaker 6: Why can't I think of it?
Speaker 3: We'll come back to you.
Speaker 2: Okay, Brandon Taylor, that's a great one.
Speaker 3: I was probably gonna that was no miles between two.
And if Landra doesn't pick it, I think she is,
then I'm gonna go.
Speaker 6: Do you like Josh Williams he was eighteen last year?
Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna still yours. Then Dixon, Oh yeah,
I too love him.
Speaker 7: I forgot, yeah, Dixon's for he was eighteen was two
years right, Yeah, he was eighteen right after you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he wasn't eighteen with me, So we were going,
what he's not eighteen in my heart? Eighty two eighty two.
Speaker 3: If you had have thrown eighty in my heart one
more touchdown, he'd have been MVP and night. But I'm
glad you didn't because I got to score. All right,
bore o t B when we come back one O
four five, ESPN Beton rouge off the bench. My two
choices were actually the three. I was gonna go dig Dixon,
Bennie Logan are Brandon Taylor, So shout out.
Speaker 5: To I don't even recognize that number. I shouldn't have
said anything.

and Rouge's go to for all things Louisiana sports.
Speaker 5: I'm feeling it, Honky Friday.
Speaker 3: You know we're sitting here, We're talking about guys that
were eighteen in the past and a guy that wore
fifteen as well, Brandon Taylor. I was just sitting there
and after you said Brandon Taylor's name, I'm like, can
we get like six Brandon Taylor's Can we get his
mindset back in the defensive backfield?
Speaker 5: Not too much asked for.
Speaker 3: I mean his skill set for sure, I mean he
still looks like an avenger, but his mentality, like, can
we get like six of those guys? Because whenever I
talks about DBU, there's a lot of names that there
out there that they should in all pro guys in
the NFL, but also a part of DBU was guys
like Lron Landry, Craig Steltz, Brandon Taylor that were dogs
and then had that kind of mindset like we need
six BT's.
Speaker 5: Back there as always that played a lot of football
for many many years in an LSU jersey, which is.
Speaker 4: You never know, we might have it I'm feeling we're
feeling pretty good about our dB room right now. The depth,
the rotation, never know, bring that dog mindset, bring it
back DBU.
