gonna come here and there's gonna be a coaches fired
and I but and we've done eulogies and a little
bit later on, we're gonna do the one for Hugh Freeze.
I'm just letting you know, Flynn, I've got very high
expectations for this one. Why there's a lot, There's a
lot there, Bud.
Speaker 4: Look, it's gonna be pretty hard to top of Brian
Kelly eulogy.
Speaker 1: I disagree.
Speaker 6: I think I think that the Hugh Freeze one is
going to be electric.
Speaker 4: Well, I've been, I've been, I stayed up, I got
twenty five minutes.
Speaker 1: You've been in the lab with.
Speaker 4: Smoke coming from a legal pad call them right, the
yellow yeah, the leg pet Yeah, here.
Speaker 1: Is m.
Speaker 5: What's you yet just start I'm thinking about like, okay,
so Alburt and Florida are two very very proud programs.
Now LSU's not in a great spot. I don't pretend
to act like they're in a great spot. You know,
very soon you're gonna get a president. Okay, we'll see
how that goes. After you get a president, you get
an athletic director, and you get a head coach. Right now,
you don't have any of the three all have an
interim tag with them. So trying not to cast too
many stones here, but Alburt and Florida, like we're talking
like four losing seasons in a row for Florida, it's
three of the last four. You're not there now, You're
not where you want to be, where you need to be,
where it has to be. But you know, a year ago,
but you get nine wins. It's not great. It's not great.
But you've had nine wins and we're talking about teams
have losing records this year. You're five and three. Not great,
not acceptable, can't be there, we know that. But you
are five and three. So in a day and age
where you can turn it around faster, I still do
have more hope than some of these places that we've
like when we were playing and not even that long ago.
Auburn and Florida are standards of the SEC, just like
LSU was, and.
Speaker 4: They will remain that way. I mean it's not that's not.
Speaker 5: Saying, but they're in a worse spot if you look
off recent track record.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they will. They will bounce back. And I
think that right when I think about Florida not being
good over the last three we just said three of
the last four years, losing record.
Speaker 6: I mean last year was there a winning record? Wasn't
like it was eight wins?
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Bowl wind And there's nobody that like that
likes the University of Florida like less than Jake and I,
these two guys right here at this table. But we
we we we really like to not like them because
they're a standard.
Speaker 1: They are part of.
Speaker 4: The they're part of the historically at the top, you know,
towards the top of the mountain of the SEC. Just
from a helmet, from a name, from a brand, They're
everything that the SEC, you know, is part of it.
And so I want them to be good. I want
them to be relevant. I want them to be dangerous
because I want that game. I want that l s
U Versus Florida game to be what it should be. Yeah,
I want it to be relevant and I want it
to be electric, and I want the intensity. I want
that hatred come in both directions in that stadium. I
want that. I want that hatred to be there, sideline
to sideline, and when you're not a good program, it's
just I mean it's still there, but it's lacking a
little bit. Same with Auburn, I mean, it was what
a fantastic right. I mean, they're still dangerous states and
still they can still hit on a recruiting class or
a couple of transfers and be a dangerous team. But
I think, you know, we want I think all of
us as SEC football fans, we should want those teams
to be good and we should want their program to
be stable, because that is why SEC is so great.
Because of the rivalries, because of those matchups between the
best of the best of the best. That is why
we love it. That's why kids, that's why kids sign here,
That's why coaches want to come here because you get
those matchups and those opportunities, and the fan bases are great,
so yeah. I like it's as much as like we
like to laugh that they're grave, it's we don't want
to be doing that because we want them to be good.
That is just my humble opinion. But I think that
if you really look at it as an SEC fan,
you should probably feel somewhat the same, like you want
those big games between them.
Speaker 5: This isn't even really like the whole reason to bring
that up is not even really to to hate on them.
It's really just to kind of shine light on on
where LSHU is because I mean, we fell down and
out right now. I think that's that's fair to say.
I think everybody it's like, like just not a great situation,
not a great situation. It's got to be better. But
the whole point in bringing that up was, you know,
you look at where Auburn's at right now, and they
move on from Hugh Freeze. Okay, so in the last
four seasons, there's the last four seasons for LSU. All right,
you're ten and four, ten and three, nine and four,
five and three. I said it, it's not it's not
good enough, right, It's not just not not ever going
to be something where you're okay with that okay, but
Auburn in their last four seasons five and seven, six
and seven, five and seven, four and five. So I'm saying,
you're still ahead of some places that are historically major
players in the SEC, but they're down bad right now. Now,
you got to you got to hit on this higher.
You got to hit on both these hires. You have
to get some positive momentum. Florida in that same time
period six and seven, five and seven, eight and five,
what are they overall this year three and five. The
whole point bring that up again is because like that's
they're starting over within the SEC.
Speaker 6: Like no point do in Arkansas.
Speaker 5: Arkansas'll be the same, But we don't consider Arkansas the
same as Florida and Auburn.
Speaker 4: In the SEC.
Speaker 5: So teams that you're you know, probably competing with somewhat. Now,
do I think LSU's the best of those three jobs. Absolutely,
But you're probably competing somewhat for your next head coach.
I think you just have more on the table that
you can. I mean, cause you got two ten win
seasons in there. Again, we all expect better, want better,
need better, But you're talking about having two ten wins
seasons in that time period where you would have to
combine Auburn's two best seasons to get to ten.
Speaker 4: In a four year period. Yeah, it is pretty wild
to sit here and say that our kids just got
took their costumes off and they still have a pumpkin
shaped bucket of candy sitting in their bedroom right now,
and we're already talking about four sec jobs that are open. Yeah,
and we just finished Halloween. We are at the beginning
of November, and it's pretty wild to say. It just
goes to show you what the expectations are.
Speaker 5: And you you're going to see probably at least one
more Oh yeah, open up now they spread some time.
Speaker 4: Hopefully they spread out weekly so we can get the
eulogies in.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're going to have a major college firing for
the rest of the year every week.
Speaker 6: I feel pretty confident in saying that.
Speaker 4: Yep. And do you think the you think that is
the leash is a lot shorter because of this expanded playoff. Yes,
there's so many so many teams are like playoff or bust,
playoff or bust, which they should be.
Speaker 6: Yeah, certainly, there's no question about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that it gets her Verge.
Speaker 4: On Friday on Friday.
Speaker 5: He's like, LSU football should make the college football playoff
every year. Now, that's incredibly tough to do. That's a
lofty goals, but that's in Ad just said that. He's like,
LSU should make the college football playoff every year. And
you haven't made it in the twelve team playoff, and
you know, the two years that it's been here, you
only made the four team playoff one time.
Speaker 6: Like, that's got to go up. I think I think
I looked at it.
Speaker 5: We would have made it three times in our four years,
or you would have made it four out of your
five and a four team playoff and a four team playoff.
Speaker 4: You would have made it four out of five. I
would have made it three out of four. Yeah, I'm
pretty sure. And that's the goal that LSU should have,
I mean forever. Even when we weren't making, you know,
the the four team playoff, there was a run that
we would still make most of the twelve team because
like there was Yeah, you lose some games, you lose
some strategic games, you lose Tobama, but you were still
at the end of the year top twelve team. Certainly, Matt,
if we finished eleventh, we were kind of like, I know, right,
I think top ten? Yeah weird, right, because LSU is
a top ten team. Yeah, we'll get there. We gotta
get a president and then they could be coming here
very soon this week. I still find that order a
little strange, which whole order of everything saying that, you know,
naming Verge the interim and so think not having a
play plan for the full time, like not having a
timeline for the full time said the interim hirer coach
and then bring in a full time potentially, I would
think that Verge has to be the top of the list.
I would think that with them saying that he has
the full authority to make the hire, that tells you
that he is by far a number one down on
the list. Because you don't want to bring in a coach,
especially a high profile coach, just like gms and.
Speaker 6: Coaches in the NFL, they're going to be tied together.
Speaker 4: So you want to get yourself tied into like a
Bell Belichick situation in Foxborough in New England where he
pretty much made the higher for GM because he technically
was the GM. Well, yeah, I don't know if you
want to get in that situation. Your head coach is
determining hit the athletic.
Speaker 5: So look, there's some things that could be short up here,
very shortly. You could have a president this week. You
can pull it interim tag off Verge, Verge. If you
feel right now as strong as it feels like you do,
that's your athletic director.
Speaker 6: And then but then as a team you go and
you hire a head coach.
Speaker 4: But then you're basically hiring a president and telling him
you got You're hiring Verge prays telling the president who
to hire.
Speaker 5: At that point, Look, this entire thing has been asked backwards.
I mean, let's not act you know what I mean like,
let's not act like it.
Speaker 1: It's not like.
Speaker 5: You got right now, let me see if I can
pull it up. You've got Governor Brian Kemp, the governor
of the State of Georgia, quote tweeting Barstool Sports of
Governor Landry's speech talking about Scott Woodward with a quote
tweet this is a Kirby Smart appreciation tweet good luck,
and then tags Governor Landry go dogs h. So to
say any of this is going as it normally does
would be laughing.
Speaker 6: Wait, you know you know what I mean that governors
don't usually quote.
Speaker 5: Tweet, barstool and talk this to each other over college football.
Speaker 4: Yeah, kind of like it, though, it's find everybody's getting
into it.
Speaker 5: I just want to get some structure, and I just
want to get it sooner rather than later, sooner rather
than later, because right now you just you have interim, interim, interim,
which you got to fight. You gotta keep going, you
got to keep marching forward. That's okay, but the plan's
got to get into place here pretty soon. You've got
a high school recruiting class that is going to be
I believe Tata correct me for wrong, a month from today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, December third, right through the fifth is the early.
Speaker 5: Third through the fifth, but starts a month from today,
from right now. And uh, I don't know if you
know this, but you've got some pretty big recruits in there,
got a couple five stars in there. You got some
players that are the best in their position coming out
of high school.
Speaker 4: You might want to. It still blows my mind that,
like most people sign then, because everybody goes in rolls early.
Speaker 5: That's why you did it, not Joy, Yeah, go play yeah, soccer,
baseball or whatever. Your spring sport is the most fun
I had was playing so good high school soccer my
senior year.
Speaker 4: My brother was my head coach.
Speaker 5: Coach Saban came to watch this and we had like
three thousand people there. Made budget for like ten years
off that one game. Me and coach Saban driving.
Speaker 6: Back to my house my single cab pickup truck.
Speaker 4: That big deal. What the crank windows?
Speaker 5: I know by this time I got Beyonce had automatic windows.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, whatever money my parents were going to spend on college,
they got me a new ride since I got a scholarship.
Speaker 4: Oh good for you. Yeah, grets on that scholarship. Thank
you appreciate that. That's probably didn't think it was going
to happen after Rivals give you your ranking.
Speaker 6: Well, they knew it would happen, but maybe not.
Speaker 1: Like they preferred walking.
Speaker 5: Maybe you know, maybe ACUSA little conference USA situation.
Speaker 4: I thought a lot about this weekend, our conversation with
Dick Dixon on Friday morning talking about a mister Kelvin Shepard.
I think I'm starting to like it that option. Okay,
well let's explore that when we come back.
Speaker 5: Let's get into that, because he is certainly a name
that's been thrown out there we'll update you on what
their name.
Speaker 4: We'll update you on what the latest odds are.
Speaker 5: Because there was a time when there's some coaches on
this list that would not have even gotten to mention
because you felt like you had to fit in a
certain box and you had to have certain things on
your resume. I don't think that's the case anymore. But
if we explore that, what would that look like and
what would it take? We'll give that to you when
we come back here on OTB Off the bench, I
go to Boujos Electrical dot com. Get that whole home
generator ready to go for the holly. When you call
Boudro's Electrical on the North Shore at nine eighty five
three nine seven six two in the Greater Baton Rouge
area two two five three zero zero ninety three eight nine,
you get the ultimate piece of mind. It's also more
power and more protection. You do not, and I mean
do not want to disappoint your father in law. If
you've got the entire family over at your house for Thanksgiving,
for Christmas, you're hosting bad weather powers out, what are
you gonna do? Well, You're gonna get judged. I can
tell you that you're gonna have disappointment in his eyes.
Speaker 6: You don't want that. Go to Boojoselectrical dot Com.
Speaker 4: I told her you aren't the one. Don't prove him right.
Go to Boodjo's Electrical. Right there on their home bay
Boojo's Electrical dot Com. There's a big red button you
can request a free quote. So get ready for this
holiday season, get ready for the potential cold weather, snowstorms,
whatever it is. Go to Boodroselectrical dot Com.
Speaker 7: For the rest of your days.
Speaker 3: It's our proby Tigers turn talkers. This is off the bench.
Speaker 5: Why all right, welcome back in OTB here on this
Monday morning, Matthew. On Friday, we had Richard Dick Dixon
on the show and we were talking about the press
conference that we saw earlier in that day. Some of
the top candidates maybe for the LSU job. And there
is one that is a former teammate of all three
of ours, and somebody that's you know, obviously had some
success at the NFL level as a defensive.
Speaker 6: Coordinator, albeit his first year. But you know a Tiger
threw and through.
Speaker 5: He had the press conference there where he said, if
you cut him open, he would be a liger, half lion,
half tiger.
Speaker 4: So great comment.
Speaker 5: Greatkelvin Shepherd is somebody that a lot of people have
thrown around maybe potentially getting an opportunity to at least
interview for the head coaching job of the LSU Fighting Tigers.
Lay that out for me, Like, what what does that
look like if it does happen?
Speaker 1: Like what would have to.
Speaker 5: Be some things that he would have to surround himself
with to make sure that everything was taken care of?
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think I don't think that, Like you
and I are like in a position right now to
say who we want to be or who we think
is going to be, because nobody really knows, Like we
don't know, and we don't know who really is going
to be available and who really would want to come
and take the job up. We're assuming a lot of
people would. We were assuming that anybody would. But you know,
after our talk with with Richard on Friday, I just
got to think it about Kelvin Shepherd and kind of
like his you know, timeline as a player as a coach,
kind of the people that you know, we know him
very well, right because we were teammates with him. We
know what kind of guy he is. We know what
kind of dude he is. We know the kind of
energy that he brings, the dog that is in him,
and we also knows football IQ. Everybody else in the
world kind of got introduced to this Kelvin Shephard as
a coach. I don't remember how many years ago, but
it was on on The Hard Knock Show where they
had the camera inside the meeting room and he's talking
to his linebackers and talking to him rather aggressively and
talking to him like a dog, but also like having
compassion towards him out like being relatable to them. Like
it was all the coaches speak that. You watched it
and you're like, man, that is like as real as
it gets, and like the guy just gets it. He's
real and he knows how to communicate his message with
an intensity but also like and understanding. He laid out
the expectation to his players. He was intentional about it,
and it was a guy that like, you're not going
to talk back to and you're not going to be like,
no coach I saw this just it's just not that
kind of ore that surrounds Kelvin Sheppard now first year coordinator. Yeah,
but he's been doing it at the assistant level, you know,
for a good handful of years at a very high
level and doing it well what that looks like for him,
Like I was intrigued by it because yeah, he is
an NFL coach right now. So like it's this whole
like Wade and See situation, This fear of the unknown
that that current players might have when the transfer portal opens,
h recruits have that are signing in December. Third, have
you signed someone out of the NFL. There's no hesitation.
They can announce, Hey, I'm going to be the head
coach for so and SO team. I don't care if
it's Week ten. I'm going to coach out the rest
of the year. Then I'm going to go be a
head coach like you can let everybody know. It's not
like I got to hold my cards you know, close
to my vest and you know Lane Kiffin situation where
it's going to be mid January. So that part is
intriguing to me because there's this big scenario you could
play out of your head, like well, you know, I know,
I know Kevin Sherward gets it. He's an LSU guy,
Like he gets he understands like the way this thing operates,
he knows who verges, he knows who Frank Wilson like
he you know this is I'm going to coach.
Speaker 1: The rest out.
Speaker 4: Frank's going to take over right now, He's going to
handle the recruiting, and he's going to be you know, retained.
Like all that situation is intriguing to me because I
know the type of dude Kevin Shepard is. Now, does
that mean like he's my first choice? I have no idea.
I don't know who my first choice is. I don't
have a list right now.
Speaker 5: That's why I like, I would love to get in
front of like five different people that I think can
do the job, but I'd want to hear them explain
how they would do the job and also why they
would want to take the job.
Speaker 4: Yep, that's for sure to me, that yeah, exactly why
you want to take the job, what's your vision for
and everything.
Speaker 6: I got to see some authenticity in this.
Speaker 4: That's why Kelvin Shepard thing intrigues me so much, because
he can do that from the NFL level. He can
make it make it known. He can still coach out
his whole year and it might be a lie that
might go to you know, they got a team that
could go to the super Bowl. I think he would
maintain a lot of the good coaches there's all because
there's a lot of good coaches, a lot of good
people over in that in that building right now. I
just think there's a scenario that could play out that
would be really advantageous for LSU and create electricity with
the recruits, with the current the current players. I think
that would be a bit a huge home run from
that aspect. So the more I think about it and
talk through it, the more I like it.
Speaker 5: And all right, so let me play Devil's advocate because
obviously we're gonna be biased in that because Kelvin was
our teammate. We saw him work every single day. We've
seen him at the NFL level.
Speaker 4: We've talked to people he's coached, We've talked to people
that are currently on that staff that reached out to me,
and I didn't.
Speaker 5: I didn't ask for it. They reached out to me
to kind of tell me how Kelvin's been.
Speaker 4: We're fans of his because we're teammates, but what he's authentic.
Speaker 5: Hell, you know where you stand with Shep, You know
you always did, you always have so okay, but let
me play Devil's advocate just for this. If if it happened,
you would get a first time head coach. You would
get somebody that's been in the NFL, not in college football.
What are some of the cons of that, and also
what would he have to surround himself with, Like what
kind of is it an elite offensive staff? Is it
almost like Jimbo used to be with us where Jimbo
we used to We used to say Jimbo was the
head coach of the offense because coach Saban was on
his field, must Champ was over there. It was Jimbo
on our field, and that was our head coach, you know,
because coach Saban let him coach the offense.
Speaker 1: Would it be that situation?
Speaker 4: So the worry would be Kelvin Shepherd is a first
time he's been a one year coordinator. This would be
a first time coaching job. And like, oh, well, first
time coaching, this is LSU. We got all the resources
in the world. We can go do this. We can
do that. Well, if you know who Kelvin Shepherd is
and what he stands for, he is a first year
he would be a first year head coach. He has
been a defensive coutter. So what does that mean? You
probably don't have to put him a ten year contract
to start with. Yeah, so, and you are LSU, you
have all the resources to do that. So surround him
with as many resources that it takes to make his
first year.
Speaker 1: As a head coach better.
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course he's gonna have to surround himself with
a with a badass offensive staff. Yeah for sure. Maybe
maybe I talked about it last week. A guy that
is in charge of game time decisions and special situations,
clock management, things like that that is not unheard of.
It might be unheard of because you know, people might
think that the head coach is like the end all
be all when it comes to clock management. But most
head coaches have somebody in their ears saying, we got
to if we don't get it here, we gotta spike it,
or we got to clock, we gotta clock it, we
got to call time out. Like there's a person that
is dedicated and it makes sense, right, especially if you
have a play calling head coach, whether it's the offense
or defense, like they're focused all week on the game plan. Yeah,
there's somebody dedicated to clock management and game management throughout
the game. Like it makes sense that you have one
person dedicated to that. So if you don't already hire
that person, like, there are a formulances you could be
even a former head coach at some level that is
out of the game and you want to make him
an ant. So if you've got a guy that you
know loves lsu is genuine knows how to speak to
a group of men, get the best out of them,
and you got to get that you feel that can
right the ship, steady the ship right now and some
tumultuous waters, uh, that can hold on to your good
people that are in that building that deserve to be there. Yeah,
you hold on to recruits, hold on to current players,
and can announce that he's coming like asap. You find
the other people. I don't care, and you can probably
get him. I'm not gonna I don't want to say
discount rate because that that is belittling towards him, right,
but like a guy that he's not And it's like
you don't have to get into contract negotiations like you
would with Elane Kiffin. You got that situation playing out.
I like every piece of that puzzle that we just
we just talked about, there's not I haven't found the
negative in all that now. And look, I'll say this too,
and he's been with Dan Campbell for a handful of years.
Oh yeah, he made the Lions relevant exactly with what
he never done at any table.
Speaker 5: Yes, and all those all those people that when he
had his press commerce he's like, we're gonna bite knee
caps and they were here on this station.
Speaker 6: I was like, why do y'all hate that? But that
man is different.
Speaker 5: That man is showing you that he's going to do
whatever it takes for the Detroit Lions to be relevant.
They had never been relevant. They have done things under
Dan Campbell they've never done in franchise history. And then
one of the oldest franchises. Okay, because the game has changed,
you don't have to have the things that have always
been there to be a successful head coach. I'm not
saying it can't work that way, but if you take
a look at how the game has changed in the
NFL and in college football, it's a different coach that
you're looking for, and regardless of what their resume says.
Regardless because James Franklin's got a great resume. Brian Kelly's
got a great resume. Dabo Sweeney right now has a
great resume. But the game's passed like Dabo like for
what he's done and how he's always done it. You
can't do it those ways anymore and expect to be elite.
You just can't. They just lost another game to Duke.
He just got fined ten thousand dollars for complaining about
the officials. Okay, it's down bad right now at that place.
But the resume is incredible. You can't deny the resume costs.
Football isn't like just resume may base anymore. You have
to have a connection to the players like you've never
had before. You've got to have a connection to the
recruits like you've never had before. You have to be
willing to sacrifice everything. Like you can't just get by
on talent alone anymore, because well, the talent has dispersed
amongst a lot of different teams.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 6: You don't hoard talent like you once did. You can't.
Speaker 5: You can't do that anymore. Okay, so you have to coach.
You've got to be in the building. You have to
grind like you're a GA when you're the head coach. Now,
it has to be that type of situation, and the
thing is, not everybody's built for that anymore. So the
guys that have done it their way for twenty thirty
years and created an incredible resume, it's not that they're
bad football coaches. They're good football coaches, but the way
that they've always done it isn't working anymore, and they're
reluctant to give themselves over to the way that it
works now. So when you hear a name that's never
been a head coach, I understand that. I get why
you would be like, are we sure? But when the
game has changed as much as it has, you have
to take a look at the totality of the situation
and understand there's things now that a head coach has
to have that he didn't necessarily have to have before.
So for me, you just had the resume. You just
had the guy that I think we all felt like
was going to be a home run. You had the
guy that if you could go out there and hand
pick it five years ago, he'd have been on the
short list. But now you don't look for that guy
necessarily anymore. You got to look for something a little
bit different. I think some of the people were talking about,
like a Kelvin Shepherd is a little bit different.
Speaker 4: One thing's clear, and there's one objective for this new
head coach, whoever it is. And we just talked about
Kelvin Shepard, and we know he could do this. Now,
how he operates as a head coach who knows nobody
knows because he's never done it, but you could surround him.
You talk about LSU has all the resources do whatever.
Birge just said Friday's press conference that they asked him
about money, they have to ask him about budget. He said,
my job to find the best coach. Well, one objective
is clear, as you have to reset the standard here
at LSU. Back to what the standard is that we
all expect from a fan base, as LSU fans, as
former players is, as people here on this radio say,
anybody listen, the standard has to be reset. And like
Jake just said, we just hired. We just fired a
guy that was hired based on resume, So you got
to look a little bit deeper. It's a little bit
different hiring process than it always has been. So whatever
it is, whoever comes in here, has to absolutely go
back and reset the standard of LSU football.
Speaker 5: And do you have an opportunity right now? Completely clean slate,
I mean president, a d head coach, get in that
old alignment that we hear about, that we talk about,
and go change the narrative, Go change the vibe.
Speaker 4: Uh and NFL teams are off on Tuesdays, so tomorrow
you should call him, give them called night. Yeah, you
know the game plans for a little bit. Just give
me a call and he sliding his d ms have
a conversation. Yeah, you just had a real old there bo.
Speaker 5: All right, we'll take a break more OTV when we
come back here live from the raising Kine studio.

Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't need it. You do? You do well?
Speaker 2: That's probably the best Disney soundtrack, Phil stick to the air.
Speaker 5: If you disrespect Phil Collins on this show, I'll ask
you to kindly leave. I don't have to our genesis
either one.
Speaker 4: That's a good book.
Speaker 6: No, he's it's the band that he was in before
he became just Phil Collins. You didn't just learn that today,
did you?
Speaker 4: I did. No. I knew that. Relax everyone relaxed, not
the breaks. We're good.
Speaker 6: I need to take a quick breather.
Speaker 5: And while I'm doing that, Gordon McKernin injury attorneys, Get
Gordon and get it done. It is your area code

Phil Collins conversation.
Speaker 1: We'll move on now that.
Speaker 4: Like Slaughter Louisiana was there like a slaughterhouse there at
one point. I don't know why they call it an
aggressive name.
Speaker 1: It's in the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 4: If you've ever been, Yeah, it's got grit. It does great.
Speaker 8: I mean if we sat here and debated, like why
Louisiana cities are named what they are, it'd be along
like slaughters.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like object we can all agree. It's pretty aggressive there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Sure, there's a Hester, Louisiana.
Speaker 4: Yeah there is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a sharp Louisiana.
Speaker 4: Okay is Hester Hester.
Speaker 8: Is Hester Louisiana In three one eighth would that just
be too perfect?
Speaker 4: Can we not? Actually?

but it's okay. Population Hester, Louisiana four.
Speaker 1: Hundred and ninety eight.
Speaker 4: Thanks, not bad, not bad. Something in the chat saying
Phil Collins has Phil Collins has a huge display at
the Alamo. Why does that make sense? Huh, it's not
how I remember my Alamo?
Speaker 6: How do you remember your album?
Speaker 4: Ode? Then, David Crockett James.
Speaker 5: Is that something like growing up? Is that something like
growing up in Texas? Like that's who you learn about first?
So you switch every third year. So one year you
do American history. Oh no, one year you do World history,
next year you do American history. Then the next year
you do Texas history. Then it just kind of repeats
like that through your first nine grades.
Speaker 4: Yeah. No, I think from my third through twelve something
like that. I can't remember. Serious.
Speaker 1: I think I take.
Speaker 6: Louisian history eighth grade.
Speaker 7: I think I took it in seventh grade.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, seventh grade feels better. Yeah, yeah, said, you know,
I did.
Speaker 2: I looked at we were we were World American Louisiana sixth, seventh, eighth,
we were world first. We were World American Louisiana.

Speaker 8: According to a I uh, Phil Collins is one of
the world's largest collectors of Alamo memorabilia, and it is
and his his collection is on display what at the
aland Rest.
Speaker 1: He's not even from here?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I got really caught up in the album.
Speaker 4: From San Antonio, like Big Baby Crow it.
Speaker 8: Says it says he was inspired as a child by
a Disney show.
Speaker 7: I guess there's a Disney show about the Alama, Okay, and.
Speaker 2: It may have been like a Davy Crockett thing or yeah,
all right, don't try to watch that on YouTube TV later.
Speaker 4: Let's go to Disney Plus for that, Bud. I can't.
I can't watch anything I have Disney Plus.
Speaker 1: You can't know.

can do Disney JOHNA.
Speaker 1: Phil Collins whould have guessed?
Speaker 4: Who would have guessed? Not me? Big Alamo collector. I
wonder what all kind of I bet there's I never
thought about that. I've been collecting cards too much. I
forgot about the album.
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too.
Speaker 6: We should really get into uh Alamo collections.
Speaker 4: That would be sick.
Speaker 6: We talked about this the other day.
Speaker 5: Remember we said, like, if you could have one piece
of memorabilia, like, what would it be? I went with
a Mike Allstar game, used neck roll or anything from
Jim Taylor. You went with what would you go with?
We were at Pro Dreams I think when we did it,
Uh Taylor, did you answer on air?
Speaker 1: What you like?
Speaker 5: You're one piece of memorabilia? If you could have one
piece of sports memorabilia.
Speaker 4: What it would be? Oh?
Speaker 1: Man, I don't even know.
Speaker 4: It's a great answer, Taylor Moose, I got a fit, dude.
You got a lot of options with the Red Sox.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well that's actually where I was gonna go is
with Boston.
Speaker 8: I'd probably I'd probably go game used Ted Williams bat.
Speaker 7: That'd be pretty sick.
Speaker 6: I thought, you know where I thought you were going
to go bloody sock.
Speaker 7: Yeah, not sanitary, but yeah, I mean that that'd be cool.
Speaker 5: I mean you have the bloody used memorability to be
watched that it's true bloody sock with if you watch it,
that'd be good.
Speaker 8: I mean something from Pedro would be cool too, but yeah,
the shilling sock would be awesome.
Speaker 5: Maybe the Pedro warm up jacket he had on when
he threw Don Zimmer that good.
Speaker 7: I wonder how much that would go. Actually, bro, yeah
like that.
Speaker 5: I have seen, uh the curse uster bat. Jack Rouchie
has it in his office still, just like hanging out.
If you auction that bad off.
Speaker 4: There's no telling what you would get.
Speaker 1: I mean it's like.
Speaker 5: It's been there for ever since, like it happened. Jack's
had it in his office.
Speaker 4: What about a taxi dermid Randy Johnson exploding bird.
Speaker 5: Well, there's not a lot of pieces left. Yes, you'd
have to really still had a little. Maybe it might
have been crushed.
Speaker 4: This in the rock though it's not like he vaporized.
Speaker 7: About the did What about the ball that hit the bird?
Speaker 5: Yea? Or just some feathers, some feathers feathers, yeah.
Speaker 4: Tylor talking about the Halloween Nightball. That's the one I said,
Halloween Night Ball.
Speaker 1: Yeah or whatever.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you pretty much just put Burglars on Warren's house now,
but say where it was?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well you can find out.
Speaker 6: Was probably the album record, So come on, you've had
five minutes.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: For fellow Shoe, I'd probably go, uh, it could be
anything the borough jersey spelled let go that he wore
coming out of the tunnel. I think I think they'd
be worth a good amount because like he technically only
wore it for what ten minutes?
Speaker 1: If they wear it in a game.
Speaker 5: I remember being in a locker him trying to change
in and out of that was pretty funny.
Speaker 7: Probably that nothing Cowboys I'm talking about.
Speaker 5: For you though, I'm not talking about like I'm talking
about like like a neck roll from Mike Allstars. Not
that valuable now to me, it's priceless.
Speaker 1: Something for Peyton Manning.
Speaker 2: I mean, man Manning's my probably my favorite football player
of all time.
Speaker 6: So what would be valuable from Peyton Manning?
Speaker 5: What about the ball he hit the little kids with
and Saturday Night Lives get So good?
Speaker 4: Be awesome?
Speaker 1: Something something from his.
Speaker 2: Final Super Bowl. It would be something from there like
the game Warren Broncos.
Speaker 4: Screw the broncos Man so Phil Collins part of his
collection and as a rifle and fringed leather pouch owned
by Davy Crockett. A whole bronzed canyon cannon used by
the Mexican Army. Battle orders written between General Antonio Lopez
and des Santa.
Speaker 6: Na Santa California shout out.
Speaker 4: He was the General of the Mexican Army.
Speaker 5: Great Airport John Wayne Airport. I believe is the efficial
name a sword once belonging to Jim Bowie. I would think,
I like a knife from Jim bow would be pretty valuable,
pretty cool, Yeah, pretty good. M letter written by Steven F.
Austin Sam Houston snuffbox.
Speaker 4: Sweep.
Speaker 5: This feels like Moose was probably the only one that
would appreciate this.
Speaker 1: I want the orange Stealth.
Speaker 5: Austin Nola used to put a ball over the left
field scoreboard back.
Speaker 4: In O eight.
Speaker 6: Only Moose would appreciate that.
Speaker 8: The orange stealth did some damage back in the day,
I knew Moose would appreciate that one.
Speaker 7: That's good.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 5: Oh, William Anthony went the best answer for a Peyton situation.
Probably here the ball that he threw to Tracy Porter
for the pick six.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that would be a cult spol locally, that's
the Yeah, and it would be a cult spool.
Speaker 5: That'd be a good one two stuff. All right, we're
long for a break. We'll take that break now, more

nosage of the less they've been.
Speaker 1: Apologize for that. It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Speaker 5: We'll make up for it in our number three. We'll
have weekend winners to kick off our number three. We
didn't do it last week. Wasn't a lot to talk about.
Not a lot of winners around here. Saints still not winners.
But we can find our way to multiple winners and
also losers. We like to do that here as well,
so when we come back, that's what we're going to do.
And also we'll kind of dive back into the LSU
coaching conversation and we kind of gave you a profile
of Kelvin Shepperd. We'll give some other names that are
still going to be heavily attached to this LSU coaching search,
and we'll do it all in our number three of
OTV when we come back here live from.
Speaker 1: The Raisin Kaine Studio.
Speaker 5: Off the bench, all right, go to rousses dot com.
Why are you sending me to a website for a
grocery store. That's because you can type in your address,
it's gonna pull up the one that is closest to you,
and it's also gonna pull up the weekly ads for
your store. So they've always got incredible deals going on.
And look, it is going to be a great football weekend.
You're gonna be able to watch LSU as a take
on Alabama.
Speaker 1: Now it's not a home game.
Speaker 5: That doesn't mean you're not gonna have the spread, doesn't
mean you're not going to have friends over and watch
the game. Hopefully, get this whole YouTube TV situation figured out.
But even if they don't. You can find a way
to watch that LSU versus Alabama game and you can
have it spread by Rouses and you can come hang
out with US football Friday every Friday on Bourbanking Lee.
Speaker 1: That's right.

menu changes a little bit, at least at the Finnhousehoile.

cons whatever it is, and every time you do, make
sure you go to a local Rouses market to get
all your groceries. Make sure if you are doing your
shopping for your food, make sure you do it with
