Speaker 1: Let's all start to you to present. Off the bench
with Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Off the bench with Jacob Hester and Bob aber off
the pitch. Now here's Jacob Hester and T Bob a bear.
Speaker 2: Yo. What's going on? Y'all? Welcome back to our number
two of OTB here on this Thursday, and uh well
every Thursday. We are so lucky to be joined by
lsu at softball coach Coach Beth terrena coach. What's going on?
How are we doing this morning?
Speaker 3: We're doing good. A little damp, but doing good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, damp. Indeed, it is uh insane out there. Everybody
be safe on the road. It's in a lot of
accidents this morning. To be safe coming in where you're
coming in from.
Speaker 3: Yes, please condition my kids and probably yours to think
that there's no school when it rains here in Louisiana.
So they wake up when it's raining and they think
like we have the day off.
Speaker 2: So damn.
Speaker 3: We fought that battle this morning. But we're good to go.
Speaker 2: Uh yes, always fun again, Uh. Coach Trina somehow managing
being a head coach of a top ten program of
the entire country and having littles running around everywhere. Coach
back in the win column on Tuesday night against McNeice. Uh,
before we get to Before you get to that though,
in the positives, I want to talk about last weekend.
A great series against Texas, an absolute battle. Uh. Game
one ends in a walk off. Game two, y'all bounce back,
que dominate, and then game three, Uh, just like I
mean four Lee changed over the final two innings. The
crazy sequence at the very end. Uh, that's that's a
that's a that's a bitter pill. That's a bitter pill.
A game like that is? What is? What is your
process for helping your team digest that and move on?
Speaker 3: I think the takeaway is that we've played right with them.
We honestly felt like we won nineteen oh the twenty
one innings. Yeah, that we played over the weekend, got
one win out of it, which is really, like you said,
tough pill to swallow, you know, I mean, I think too,
like just continuing to learn lessons like I am too,
like pitch calling and things like just continuing to like
learn and get better and like try to find opportunities
for growth within it. Like not the best way that
you want to learn, but we got to keep growing.
I think though the biggest message is still in our control.
We're still sitting our PI number five today, still have
two really big series in front of us where if
we played well, we have everything we wanted. So I
think we can play with everyone in the country. We've
proven it, you know, and now we just have to
go do our job here this next few weeks and
we'll be where we want to be well.
Speaker 2: And like we talked about, a great response is coming back.
Beat me Nig's five to two on Tuesday night. Now
finish the season eight to no against in state opponents.
Finished the non conference regular season schedule at an incredible
twenty eight and one, again giving you an idea of
just how just how good this this this conference is
and how good this LSU team is. Do you did
you do you take any personal pride in being state
champs and having such an unreal non con there all I'm.
Speaker 3: Thinking about what you say that is the stupid two
strike squeeze? How lost that one?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's true. Right on the edge of
twenty nine and.
Speaker 3: Now or whatever exactly like or twenty eight, Like why
am I thinking about the one thing, but no, that
we played really well. I think they did their job.
You know, I think showing up every Tuesday Wednesday night
is tough at times. Right, They've got class, They've got
a lot of stuff going on, and just came off
a series at Texas and then you know, have to
go compete against a really talented mcney's team maybe doesn't
have the title of a Texas but still incredibly talented.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: So I think the fact that they showed up weekend
week out and did that because a lot about who
they are talking to.
Speaker 2: LSU had softball coach Betterine here on off the bench
and coach a Saturday, Sunday Monday series coming up this
weekend as opposed to the Thursday, So a little bit
of an extra break here in between. Are there any
particular differences in kind of the preparation or how you
get ready for a series it does not get underway
until Saturday.
Speaker 3: Well, it's nice. I think having a little bit of
time coming off an eleven day road trip or whatever.
We're nice like having our team be able to catch
up a little bit here. You know, they were able
to get two off days in there with Easter Sunday
and then Monday, just getting ready for this week. So
nice to get them a little recharged, a little catch up,
and hopefully do some things. It'll just make LSU softball
better and not necessarily prep for our opponent, just our
own swings, our own defense, our own pitch execution, things
like that.
Speaker 2: Well, and I did want to ask you, I mean,
as you kind of alluded to there, I mean, back
to back top five series on the road in Texas,
now returning to the friendly confines of Tiger Park, how
glad are you to be back home?
Speaker 3: Oh? You have no idea, You have no idea. I like,
forgot what my house looks like. All the girls were like,
I mean, we did more laundry and things like we
lost half the you know, stuff like did you get
the socks? No, did you get the search? Like it
was it was a lot. It was a lot, eleven
days on the road with this group, but we enjoyed it.
We did some cool stuff. We went into a smashroom.
We smashed the stuff up. It was pretty old.
Speaker 2: Oh, no way, I've never done a smashroom. What was
your favorite what was your favorite thing to smash?
Speaker 3: I don't know if I should say this, but they
had a Texas diploma that we smashed, saying, so maybe
that was bad luck. I don't know, but it was cool.
Speaker 2: They like got to.
Speaker 3: Hit a car and do some fun stuff like it
was cool. It was fun and they did some glow
paint bores and things like. They had a good time.
So we tried to let them be human beings for
a little bit on the trip too, and know and
just enjoy their time together. So it was a long trip.
Speaker 2: So I know the results didn't necessarily Again, they were
right there in the edge, but then end up breaking
your way. It sounds like, though, do you feel like
maybe you gain some value from a team bonding chemistry
sort of perspective, especially with things like a tournament really
right around the corner, I mean not far away at
all now where you're going to get into some of
these kind of long extended stretches potentially away from home.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is going to be. It's gonna be a
tough turnaround here. We go Monday night against Florida and
then we play Thursday at Arkansas. So it is going
to be a tight turnaround for us, Like it's going
to be some of the stuff that we learned, and
how to travel and how to be on the road.
I think all those things are going to come into
play for us being efficient and doing a good job
of that because it is going to come into play.
And then you know, Saturday at Arkansas, we're back and
we're right off to the SEC Tournament. So it's going
to happen fast. Oh glad. These guys are a little
bit of road warriors here and they'll know how to
do it.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: You mentioned Florida eleven seven and conference. Tell us you
do nine to nine the Gators? What what what do
the another top ten matchup? Imagine that it's every week.
What do the Gators do particularly well? From your film study.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say they have an offense that just
like keeps going, you know, as you like tick down
their lineup, right like you're getting into where you think
you might have room to breathe at like seven, eight
and nine, And we have kids down seven, eight and
nine that are you know, players of the year in
their league and all conference and all these things. Like
as you as you move down their lineup, it's really
really deep, really deep, and I think they're going to
be tough to get them out one through.
Speaker 2: Nine, Coach, thank you so much for joining us this morning.
I know things are crazy right now. Looking forward to
the series this weekend again guys on Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
and then as coach alluded to, the quick turnaround, there
the Gators and the Tigers in Tiger Park this week
and bring the family out. If you're looking for some
fun to coach, stay safe, stay dry this morning, and
you have an excellent day.
Speaker 3: Awesome, thank you, appreciate you.
Speaker 2: Uh have a good have a great day, coach. All right, UH,
when we get back here on off the bench, let's uh,
let's go ahead and dive back in to some to
some draft talk, as there was a pretty shocking anonymous
report uh released not too long ago about uh shear Sanders.
You get some other news as well. Keep it locked
right here on O TV off the bench. Spring has sprung.
And if you're going to Tiger Park or you're going
to the box this weekend and you're looking for the
perfect beer to pair with the diamond, you want to
go for dose tho secise. Oh you know what's funny,
bo softball and baseball they're trying to go for dose.
You know, two of three. So you can help them
by going for dose yourself and grabbing yourself in dose, seguies.
And look you're gonna see you're gonna thank me if
you've never done this before. Cut up some limes, grease
up the neck, sprinkle some salt, drop the lime in
the beer, and then lick it and drink it. Baby,
So good, so tasty. The best beer for baseball, the
best beer for summer, the best beer for spring, the
best beer for anything. That's still Seconies. Very proud here
on off the bench to be partner by dos segies.
Can't wait to treat some tomorrow, Duke said to night
at Dona one as well. Perfect draft beer.
Speaker 1: Go for dose, those secies, come in to the best
morning sports. This show around off the bench with Esther
and t Bob.
Speaker 4: Every other word is a hug.
Speaker 6: Okay, dude, you be the two or the gree with
another lady.
Speaker 2: If you let me say that back otb you know
it's uh okay okay again again. The Shannon Sharp stuff
has some The Shannon Sharp stuff has some some stuff
that in it that that is very serious, okay, Like
the allegations are serious. And I see you looking quizzically laundry.
But like I mean, if if if you've read specifically
about what the woman is alleging, Uh, if what she's
saying is true, there was absolutely a line crossed, et cetera,
et cetera. But again, uh, I am a person who
views nearly anything in life, uh and finds kind of
the humor, ark or otherwise in it. So I guess
I'm just prefacing to say that I don't want to
make complete light of situation, but it is undeniably darkly
funny in many ways. And if that offends you, that's okay.
I'm just you know, I I You're that's okay, be
angry at me, whatever. But I saw a tweet yesterday
that was so so succinct and perfect, and it was
that basically, any time you're having to say release the
full sex tape as both a legal and public defense,
that's a bad place to be. And before you because
I said, I told this to Rome yesterday and he
tried to be like, well, what about the Kardashian It's
completely different.
Speaker 4: It's different.
Speaker 2: They marketed that that was they were on offense. They
put that out there like, they actively harnessed that and
built an empire out of it again any time time
release the full sex stape. It's your defense to both
legally and publicly better yourself. Better your position. Your position
is not good. You are you are you are in
you are in uh turbulent waters. Let's just say and
and you know again, I don't know how all this
is gonna play out legally. Actually, I bet you I
do a big settlement, right. Uh. But this woman was
recording him. I mean they got him all over phones.
I guess they have video evidence of some freak to.
Speaker 4: Me that that's like, that's messed up because then you
were planning on doing this, like if you're sitting there
recording maybe like for later the phone calls.
Speaker 6: Yes, I don't know about the whole.
Speaker 4: I don't want to get into people's personal like freaky
lives or whatever. Like if you want to film that,
that's all. If you want to film that, that's on you, right.
And isn't she only fans so that's like her thing,
like she films whatever? So well, I don't know is
she is no?
Speaker 7: No, she is okay, So Shon told us in the
same said release the full sex tape. Both professional he
both docsed her real name and her only fans name.
Speaker 8: Dropped, her government name and professional name advertised.
Speaker 2: It's just greasy all her out. That's free advertising. That's
got one. I'm sure she's seen a monetary influx from that.
Speaker 6: So like, Okay, if you want to record that, sure,
I get that.
Speaker 4: Whatever, But to like get on a phone call and
like pre plan that you're going to record this phone
call and probably say I didn't hear it, but probably
say things on the phone to like provoke him to
say something crazy.
Speaker 6: That's this feels just like planned to me. But I
don't know. You're right if the allegations are serious, so
they're true, than my bad, Like.
Speaker 2: I'm not that's I'm not going to weigh in on
who's right or wrong. Yeah, I just want to highlight
what what is funny in the situation at least taste Yes,
like that. That's a wild scenario that I've never considered before.
Speaker 8: This is funny because it's like you have thirty seconds
of footage that people believe is going to be bad,
and you're like, guys, the ten minutes not nearly as
bad as the thirty seconds.
Speaker 2: Okay, drop the ten minute well, and didn't like that
even gets into a funny thing about stamina, right, like
it like it's just again, it's a it's a it's
a freaky ass wild scenario.
Speaker 4: I mean, but also, what is the same play stupid games,
win stupid prizes if you're hooking up with the OnlyFans girl,
this is kind of on you, bro.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of what we said, yes, yeah, right,
and it's kind of what Monique tried to tell him, yeah,
not too long ago on Club Chase Shy. Yeah, find yourself.
You know, a nice woman is gonna cook for you
that you can snuggle up with at night, just like
a Bucks in Italian nana. He's gonna make you pasta Yeah,
and then you maybe just lay your head on your
bosom and smoke a cigarette or something. God sounds amazing,
doesn't it.
Speaker 4: No, No, excuse me, Well that was jarring. That's like
my nickname my family. Yeah, because my sister couldn't say
my name when she was a baby.
Speaker 2: I thought it was like an Italian grandma thing. They
called him nonahs? Is that?
Speaker 6: Am I literally what I've been called?
Speaker 4: You're probably yeah, you're right, But like since I was
my sister was a baby, they've called me, Nona, can
you cook me pasta?
Speaker 6: Sure?
Speaker 2: Don't they have the frozen lasagna? They have like a
frozen lasgna brand.
Speaker 6: Oh, I don't know that. That was so weird. I
thought you were calling me.
Speaker 2: What's your best pasta that you can cut? Oh?
Speaker 4: Remember I made that lasagna soup that's not like a
pasta pasta, But that's pretty good.
Speaker 6: Let me see.
Speaker 1: Oh this one was.
Speaker 4: Hard to do, and I was so proud of myself.
I made a really good carbonara, which is like hard.
Speaker 2: Because oh wow, yeah, sous it sounds great.
Speaker 6: It was so good.
Speaker 4: I was so proud of myself because I didn't like
cook the egg until like scrambled eggs.
Speaker 2: It was perfect.
Speaker 6: It was so good so that I would I would
make you that.
Speaker 2: Okay, hell yeah carbonare with your signature pasta mine it
will so again it is now. I know people are
gonna roll their eyes at this, but it's just spaghetti
me bolls. But the thing is it's not really. It's
a little bit maybe a little bit maybe about some
of the technique I use. Right Like, I'm gonna I'm
gonna finish it in the sauce in the cast iron,
throw some pasta water in there all that, But really
it's just about the ingredients. You know. I get the
fresh noodles from cannatellas. You get fresh meat from Iversteins. Now, granted,
I could make a fresh red sauce, but I like
them on Jennie Sweetness, which I know is a bit
anti true Italian, but it does create, in my opinion,
a delicious uh spaghetti with more of a red meat sauce,
and even meatballs, because then I don't do the the
the meatballs necessarily.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Uh now I'm so hungry. I could eat Jake right now.
Speaker 2: I need to talk what I need to figure out more.
I want to learn how to make a great uh
fetucini or a great alfredo sauce. I need. I need
to have a good white sauce pasta dish, and right
now I do. I don't under I don't understand the
joke behind the Jake line. Where's the connective dissue here?
That just seemed like a like a like a horny
over extension. I don't know if this is I saw
this yesterday.
Speaker 8: So it was like this guy like randomly looked up
his wife's like sixth grade boyfriend. Yeah, and he's like oh,
I'm so hungry I could eat like Zach whoever. And
she goes, what, yeah, yeah, you say somebody like sister.
Speaker 4: Sent me these yesterday. I almost said, but then I
was like, no, that's too weird. I've been waiting all
show for the perfect moment to do this. I'm so
you got me, so you you got Yeah, So I
need you to clip that tape so I can posted it.
Speaker 6: But I almost said, like, man, I'm so hungry I
could eat Quad Bob right now.
Speaker 2: That's getting a little potentially sounding yeah sounding.
Speaker 4: But then I was like, no, I'll show you. I'll
show you the videos my sister sent me during the break.
They're so funny, like this girl was like she's talking
to her dad and she's like, I'm so hungry I
could eat Keith Evans right now. And Keith Evans is
like his business partner. And then he goes, what about
He's like, what about Michael Evans. He's a little bigger,
and Michael.
Speaker 2: Okay, send me this so I can have a further
understanding of it's really to be said. If we're gonna
eat anybody in the room, I think i'd be the taste. Yeah,
I think I'd be the tastes for sure. Yeah, I've
looked at my thighs before and thought about just maybe
slicing a little off, just a little bit, like my
love handles. Get a little little fat, little little bacon.
This is something you've thought about, Yeah, yeah, be good
little backstrap. And so look, guys, the bottom line is
if you want to take control of your sex life, okay,
and you don't want to be spiraling out of control
a lashan, but you do want to last ten minutes
or maybe longer. You know, got stamina issues, the pedo issues,
eat d issues, you should check out Goodwood Mints sexual
Wellness like okay, for for everything. For whatever you know, Shannon,
if whatever you want to say about him, he is jacked,
you know, and I would assume that he's on the tee.
And so you should go into Goodwood Min's actual wellness today,
your Goodwood dot com. You get your labs drawn, see
what's going on in your body, and let them customize
a plan to get you where you want to, because
we don't have to settle for mediocrity. And that did
everyday life. That's in the bedroom as well. So like
if you are having uh low energy, low libido, you're aging.
You don't have to go quietly into that good night. Okay,
we can rage against the dying in the light, and
we can do so with Goodwood and take advantage of
the latest technologies in sciences to feel good and young
and strong and confident once again. And it's a very
easy process. I want to get my labs drawn.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 2: It was great. Go to Goodwoodman's Sexualities. You're Goodwood dot com.
You're Goodwood dot com. So I was thinking about LSU
football coming out of spring yesterday and maybe what some
of the biggest developments were. And you know, it's been
a quiet front as far as LSU football is concerned.
Not a lot of massive news on the football field
or with this roster or anything like that else. So
maybe one of the quiet developments of spring ball, and
again spring is not where starting positions are one nailed down,
but it is pole position. You know, it's qualifying for
the race that will begin in fall camp. But maybe
one of the most pleasant developments have been two of
your former highly heralded recruits stepping in to those left
tackle and right tackle spots and putting their best foot
forward when it comes to being the presumed starter. Now, look,
we knew about Tyree Adams at left tackle. He did
a very good job during the Bowl Prep Bowl game,
so you have a little bit more evidence there, and
he continued that into spring. He had a very good
spring out there at left tackle. But it's Weston Davis's
emergence at right tackle that I want to highlight here
as well. Was Tyrie Adams he was a five star.
I know Weston Davis was a five star. I think
Tyry Adams gonn we had he was like a five
for like a four point five right five and one
four in another. But but again to what you could
call five star recruits that now appear to be ready
to play, and the knock on effect there is pretty
massive for this LSU team and that if those guys
can hold it down and look, you're you're, you're, you're
you're going to not be a good attackle how you not?
I mean, Will Campbell's about to be the first LSU
O lineman drafted in the first round since Alan Fanica. Okay,
this has been a long time. And what else that
highlights is that this is not traditionally a position group.
While LSU's had good o lines. It's not one traditionally
where they have like a ton of premier NFL talent,
but Brad Davis has done a hell of a job.
And if Weston Davis and Tyree Adams end up being
very good tackles, that's a very impressive pipeline being established
by Brad Davis. Like we always think about in football
going from a great quarterback to a great quarterback and
how much success that sets you up for, well, it's
almost just as hard to do that at the two
tackle positions, and at least with the potential of these guys,
with what we've seen out of them thus far and
what we saw out of spring, it looks like you
may be well positioned to do so. And yeah, you'll
probably take a step back and pass one and I
think it'd be impossible not to, but maybe you take
a step forward in the run game, right. So it's
great to see those two young guys asserting themselves on time,
on schedule, as highly recruited guys as saying, okay, it's
now our time to step into that role and we
are ready with Tyree Adams of Weston Davis. But what
it also allows is for real deep competition to breed
on the interior because all of a sudden, now Josh
Thompson can kick back down to guard if Davis ends
up winning that right tackle job. And now let's count
the amount of players that you're gonna have competing for
those interior three positions. You got Braylon Moore, DJ Chester,
who can play center, a guard. You have Paul Mbinga,
You'll have Josh Thompson, Bordolins in the mix. Who am
I missing? That's five Cohen Eckles has got a round
then Thomas five star freshmen. So right there, if you
include Thomas, it is seven guys for three positions. And
in DJ Chester, Braylon Moore, and Josh Thompson, those are
guys that have started full seasons on the D one level.
You throw Paul Mbinga in there. He started half a
season and while he struggled at the beginning, he continued
to get better and better. That's four very experienced guys
for three positions. So the emergence of Weston Davis and
Tyree Adams holding down those spots on the edges gives
you the potential to have a very good offensive line
once again, even if it is somewhat inexperienced on those edges,
some of them I'm definitely going to be looking out
for come fall camp is going to be how that
interior sorts out, and I don't know how exactly it will,
but that's a lot of talent thrown at the wall
at those three positions, and so whoever does win the job,
I think you can count on being very good. And
like I said, sure you may take a step back
pass blocking, but you may take a step forward in
the run department. And you want to talk about alleviating
pressure on Garrett us Meyer. Part of the problem with
Garrett Nusmeyer last year was he felt as if he
had to do everything. Think back to how you felt
on third and one last season. You had to engage
in gimmicks, you know, jet sweet motions where you're dumping out.
You had no confidence that you could line up and
run it. And what it led to was Garrett having
to play perfect, having it feel like he did everything.
What if you could give him a solid run game
that could average five yards of carry, a solid run
game that can make those third and short so much easier,
and a solid run game that could set you up
on second and manageable and keep you on schedule a
solid run game that could set up play action. The
knock on effect there is huge, So again, shout out
to Wesson Davis, Shout out to Tyree Adams. Their emergency
is spring one of the keys for this Lshue football team.
All right, when we get back, let's check in with
Jake Kester on the phone. He's about to be back
in his hotel room up there at Lamba. More OTV

Speaker 1: Act to sports talk, maybe off the bench.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's up, y'all. Welcome back OTV. Let's go up
to Lambo Boots on the ground. I'm talking to our
guy Jay Kester, who's up there covering the draft for
Serious XM Radio NFL Radio. Jake, what's up, man, what's
going on?
Speaker 5: What's up, Bob?
Speaker 2: How we doing?
Speaker 5: How we living? The weather up here is not great,
so the draft is outside, so there's a little little,
a little a little panic in the air there, and
you know, we're about to see if this infrastructure can
handle all these people. But outside of that, everything's great.
Speaker 2: So you're alluding to a bit of a disaster there,
and you you you said yesterday even that you were
you were set up doing the radio and what the
NFL made you move. It seems like you are casting
doubt upon the city of Lambeo's ability to be ready
for what's coming their way.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nurse. We
were yesterday. They couldn't really control. So we were outside
at the Place sixty event and all the guys that
are actually here in Green Bay, they were out there
and coaching up all the kids and so it was
a lot of fun. But we were interviewing I shows
I'm have been cam Ward and there was lightning, and
so since we were outside, the NFL is like nope,
got to shut it down. I got to shut it down,
or like, well we got to keep going for a
little bit because we don't have anything here to throw
it to. Our host for the next show, aren't in
studio yet, we don't have anything ready to go in
the can, and so we're live on the NFL radio.
So yeah, it was a little struggle, a little back
and forth. Luckily, we just kept delaying and delaying and
act like we were getting our stuff together and found
a way to get enough segments together so yeah, not
a great start yesterday, but there's just there's so many people.
Kansas City and Detroit, the two that I've done, just
hundreds of thousands of people, and you know those cities
that was packed and a little chaotic at times, and
their infrastructure was just, you know, obviously able to handle it.
We're gonna see. I hope for the best. I hope
I can come back and tell our boy Flynn that
his city did great. But we will see because this
is very small town vibes.
Speaker 2: Okay. So as far as who you've talked to thus
far would have been.
Speaker 5: The highlights, we hades that. I mean, we kind of
had the who's who. We had Travis Hunter, cam Ward,
as I said, Ashton Genty, who incredible interview. I could
have talked to him for like two hours. Cetor Roald McMillan,
Our guy Will Campbell was really good, as he always is.
So yesterday it was a lot of fun because you know,
we've covered all those guys for a long time and
getting a chance to really sit down and have conversations
with him. Travis was great. He wanted to talk about
bass fishing and so we got into that. Hell yeah,
a little bit. You know, it's that's his favorite thing
to do and a very just very chill and you
would not know that that is the Heisman Trophy winner,
who's a unicorn on the football field. But so he
was good. But cam Ward was incredible. I asked him.
I was like, man, because you know, he stays in
the pocket and like he doesn't really ever panic and
he'll be flat flooded at times and just letting everything develop.
And I was like, man, how do you do that?
You know, playing against these guys. He's grown man with
bad intentions. He said, my intentions are worse, dude, And
I was like, oh my god, like off the top
of the dome. So man, he he was highly highly impressive.
But all these young men were. It was a very
good group.
Speaker 2: So you feel like, you see now why cam Ward
did so well in the interview portion of all this,
and why the Titans have been so so sure and
not even fielding any calls that he's going to be
there quarterback.
Speaker 5: Yeah, one hundred percent. I'm just sitting there talking to him,
see for like ten to twelve minutes. I'm like, okay, yeah,
I get it, I understand it. And loved all his
answers about his journey and when he was at Incarnate
Word and like just you know in the FCFS level,
He's like, look, that's where I was supposed to be
at that time, and I was supposed to make my
teammates better in football is football, And I enjoyed my
time like every answer, And it wasn't like, oh man,
this guy's been you know, coach step to go, because
like I said, like most of the answers he had
were questions that were probably once he hadn't gotten before
just to try to see where he was. Man, he
blew me away. So yeah, I completely understand it. Even
so some people I talked to in the front office
that are quarterback, you know they got a need there,
but you know they're not gonna have a number one pick.
But I was asking him beforehand, like who was really
impressive like in the group that they had, and he
was the first name that came out of their mouth.
And so yeah, it's no surprise that he blew the
titan the way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it comes at a time where there's crazy
anonymous take some chradeur's meetings whatnot, which we're going to
get to. But you mentioned you could talk to Ashton
Gent for hours. Now I don't. It's looking like he's
probably not going to be available at nine. I mean,
both the Jags and the Raiders appear to be very
interested at five and six. What was it about Gent
that had you so intrigued?
Speaker 5: Incredibly well spoken military family has moved all over the place,
t Bob, I mean all over the place, Virginia, Florida, Texas.
Never let it become an excuse why he ended up
at Boise State. Didn't have any power for offers from
any of the teams, like, as he said, like from
the South were out, wanted to stay because he was
in Texas at the time, and you know, just loved
all the ways that he was breaking down some of
the run game stuff. We got into some zone runs,
some gap scheme stuff, and you know where he kind
of sees his stuff excelling. And you know it was
funny because we were like, how's it going to feel
to run the football when everybody in the stadium doesn't
know that you're going to get it? True, It's just
like he's like, man, look, you know I use that
to to my advantage. And like when I'm having these
meetings with these teams. You know, I let them know
if they need me to carry the load. I've done
that before. I'm willing to do it again. So just
a great young man, you can tell. Man, he was
raised by a great family, like I said, military family,
and he's going to be successful. Like whatever happens with him,
he's going to be a highest successful young man. So
a man he is. He's bigger than I thought too,
Like really yeah, he doesn't look uh nearly like that
when I when I watched him on TV. So very
impressive young.
Speaker 2: Man, uh have have so you know this is firmly
uh rumor season here. Has there been any have you
Have you managed to get any back room insider smoke
on the streets about uh maybe some surprise moves. Is
there anything percolating coming up to night in round one?
Speaker 5: I mean really I've been trying to ask people about
the Saints move just because we're highly intrigued and anybody
that I've kind of seen, anybody that you know does
this every basically every single day. I've just been trying
to get what the Saints are going to do and
what's everybody I asked he think that they're going edge
defender either Walker from Georgia or Williams from Georgia. Wow,
I know it's not the most exciting pick at least
in all jokes aside at least it is from a
power for school and not a group of five schools,
because I just don't think that the backlash from that
would be something that anybody would walk can't can't go
exactly like to go Mike Green, even if you know
Mike is a really good player. It's just like after
the way, you know, you've taken them out of Houston
and UTSA, I just don't think people would be excited
about that. But I don't know, man, It's like the
Saints continue to want to go into the trenches. I
mean what this would make what fourteen of like the
last sixteen first round picks maybe or something crazy like that.
That would be funny. It'd be like on the line
of scrimmage and look, you just you have not hit
there a lot of choices. I mean, you've had some
big misses as well, so like maybe maybe maybe that's
not where you need to go. Maybe you need to
try to hit somebody else in the first round, maybe
an offensive skill player, because your track record right now
on edges and guys up front and offensive linemen. The
hit rates not great.
Speaker 2: I mean that is kind of insane a thing about
because you're trying to do the unsexy but the solid thing.
You're trying to do the right thing. Bye bye by
taking your medicine and say no, we have to commit
to winning in the dredges. You just suck at drafting. Yeah,
is there any Derek Carr whispers or anything in NFL circles,
like of any guys been asking you about have you
heard anything about it?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Just by saying so, like actually people have been
asking me about it. Yeah, I figured, Hey, what's the
you know, what's the buzz down there? Like? This looks
really bad from where I'm sitting. I'm like, oh, budd,
it looks worse from where I'm sitting, trust me. And
they're like, well, does Saints fans think about it? I'm like,
oh my god. They would drive him to the state
line in any direction Texas, Arkansas or Mississippi. You get
to stick and they might just drop him in the gulf,
if you will, if that's an option that's available as well.
So uh yeah, that like everybody that I talk with,
that's been in the league for like a long time.
Like I was talking with somebody that's I think, like
twenty eight years in the league. He's like, Man, I've
never seen or heard anything like this, but I'm trying
to think the way he put He's like, but car
has been known to do stuff adjacent to this throughout
his career, and he didn't really he didn't really dive
in to what he meant there. But he's like, yeah,
he's basically done stuff like this before, but not to
the level.
Speaker 2: So it's so so the national perspective is just as
bad as we thought. It's not just us locally losing
sight of the forest of the trees. The national guys
think this situation just stinks all the way around as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, right, right on both fronts TEA drafting and
the Derek car.
Speaker 2: What did uh? Okay? To wrap up here, we'll go
with one of our favorite guys, What did uh?
Speaker 7: What did?
Speaker 2: All?
Speaker 5: How?
Speaker 2: Was an interviewing Old Will Camboy. Here's Swaggy's no lumbon
in the sight about uh being you know he's gonna
be the first first round alignment takings. It's Alan Fanica.
Speaker 5: I know that's that's wild.
Speaker 2: That's wild.
Speaker 5: You start thinking of works like the second round guy Man,
And I know you've had success with often the linemen
that didn't have like long NFL careers, but that is
thats a long time ago, see, and so like you
started thinking about some of the guys that have been
through there. But I was definitely deserving and he's gonna
hear his name called or really really early and he was,
you know, he was as good as always, and you
know we were asking about the arm lane things like
man by first.
Speaker 7: He he does tell those.
Speaker 5: Stories like I got my first off when I was
fourteen years old from Louisiana Monroe out of a camp
and Louisiana Monroe was worried about my mom at fourteen
years old. So he's like, I've been dealing with this
for a long time, he said, put on the stage,
watch me work, watch me in practice, and that's where
you'll see my arm link doesn't matter. So I've been
working with these things my whole life, and you know
I've done pretty well and gotten pretty far with them.
Speaker 2: That's funny. I feel like when you were quoting Will
just now your accent deepened.
Speaker 5: I thought about going I thought about going full wheel.
Campbell liked mid way through, I failed a little bit.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy. I did
since a little bit of it. Okay.
Speaker 5: I was telling EJ. I was like, EJ, just get ready.
I was like, we worked with Jimbo every Tuesday day.
That's like the fast country action. Yeah, you're about to
get the slowest version that is out there. And he's like, oh, really,
just and then he said one word. DJ looked at me,
his eyes got y, he goes, he goes. My man
was talking so smooth. I think he was singing to me.
Speaker 2: That's a good line. Oh that's a great line, dude. Well,
I look forward to hear from Will Campbell tonight when
he's most likely drafted fourth overall in the New England Patriots.
So all right, Jake, keep kicking asks. Where can everybody
find all your coverage over the next few days.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So we're gonna do five hour shows tonight and tomorrow.
Those will both be on Channel eighty four College Sports Radio,
and then on Saturday, I'll be in the nitty gritty
of it doing the I guess fourth, fifth, sixth, and
seventh round and that coverage is going to be on
NFL Radio. I'll be with new Heiseel and Jason Horowitz
and Jim Miller on those shows, and so all day.
I don't there's no time because nobody knows how long
the draft's gonna take on Saturday. But we'll leave there.
Speaker 2: Have fun. Jay Caster live from Lambeau. We'll check in
again tomorrow. Take it easy, Jake, alright, yeah, all right,
well we get back. Let's close that out too. Off
the bench, get Gordon and get it done. Get somebody's
gonna fight for you and get you what you deserve
when you get in an accident. That is what's a
bad place to be and what can make a bad
place worse is when you deserve just recompense. And these
big companies don't want to give it to you because
they feel like they can take advantage of you, they
can lean on you. You need somebody who's gonna advocate
for it. You need somebody's gonna fight for you. And
that's where Gordon McCarney Injury Attorneys comes into play. You
can go to get Gordon dot com. You can see

Speaker 1: Welcome back to more sports talk. What's some other stuff
mixed in off the bench with Hester and Timom.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to o TV. Oh, somebody didn't mention today
because there's a lot going on. Uh. Flase officially announcing
that she will be returning for her senior season. Now
we knew she had skipped the WNBA draft. Maybe what
I had not realized that there was some smoke on
the street that she could potentially enter the transfer portal,
which again, you know, it's a it's a weird time
in college sports. It's well, it's a time what's going
to you know, which turns many people off. But you're
almost arguably not doing your due diligence if you don't
at least kind of put that threat out there, because
that's what creates leverage. That's what creates leverage for you
to get paid by the place that you are already at.
You know, it's it's nasty, but it's business, and it's
something that everybody does in nearly every facet of business
when it comes to trying to maximize their take home pay.
But the good news is Flage coming back for her
senior season to LSU told Front Office Sports she will
not enter the FRAN transfer protal. This is coming off
over all American year. And what's maybe the most one
of the most intriguing aspects to me is I you know,
you think of this as a local story. I saw
this on ESPN on the homepage. You know how the
ESPN dot com homepage has those those top stories. Not
a bit of that is algorithmic, and they're gonna put
some things in front of you. But but there are
multiple articles up right now national story Flage returning for
her senior season to coach Mulki once more into the
front All right, coming up next, I'm hoping to catch
up with Jay Johnson, but I don't know if that's
going to happen. Or not. We do have munchies with
chef Michael Johnson coming up at nine point fifteen. If
we don't go to Jay, I want to talk about
Schoter Sanders. Also, there is some breaking Jackson Dart news,
which is in terms of teams that may have them
as their QB one outside of Kimboard. Obviously that may
affect the New Orleans Saints. So we'll get into all
this as we continue to prepare for the draft party
tonight at don Wan's Come out tonight. Although Taylor and
to Lodge will not be there because they're not Foxhold guys,
many of us will, Me and Rivers are are starting
the show at seven of Handy well ah bah, well
have Matt. It's going to be a great time. Londra's
shaking her head. She's very upset with me right now,
