fun one. Uh guys, what's going on? Has everyone doing today?
What's up? Jakie? What's up?
Speaker 2: You mentioned April Fools? I know Alandra hit us with
Val Kilmer passing away? Yeah, and I was like, ah,
I wish that was yesterday April Fools. Yeah, legend Val Kilmer, Tombstone,
top Gun, I mean so many other Heat.
Speaker 3: He was fantastic.
Speaker 4: He is such a.
Speaker 1: Great it makes me want to rewatch.
Speaker 4: Heat makes me want to rewatch Teamstone.
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean me when we watch Tombstone as well? I agree, Uh,
I guess finished Tombstone eventually.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't even uh not on Val.
Speaker 5: Let's look, I'm gonna defend Team Beer. Let's let me
surprised about this team. I don't watch any movie it's.
Speaker 1: Not I mean it's not true.
Speaker 3: But about you know, Val Kilmer and Tombstone and Doc Holliday.
Speaker 4: You know, let's move on. This is gonna upset me.
Speaker 1: And and maybe I'm wrong here, but the line about
I'll be your huckle bear. Have you all ever heard
of a huckle bearer? Yeah? Right, it's like a Paul Bear.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you carry the casket?
Speaker 1: Yes? Is that what Val Kilmer actually says?
Speaker 6: There A lot of people think so, And it makes
a lot more sense.
Speaker 1: It makes a lot more sense. Then I'll be your huckleberry, right,
is I'll be your huckle bearer, which is an Old
West term for Paul Bear.
Speaker 3: S the way, whatever it was, he delivered the hell
lot of it.
Speaker 1: Yes he did.
Speaker 2: In the no Vera pops Uh rest in peace man,
I mean, nominated for an oscar For.
Speaker 1: Me, h Iceman was just so coolah growing up he
was so hot and so cool, so like just like
everybody wanted to be m.
Speaker 3: Y save something for the rest of his ice.
Speaker 1: The bite had Tom Cruise I mean, and then coming
around at the end, right, and even in Maverick Uh
finding a way to get Val involved and through his
sickness and everything else, and really we were robbed of
what should have been a great late career from Valciumer
because of the health issues that he had to deal with.
So rest in peace to a great actor that brought
a lot of us, a lot of people, a lot
of joy.
Speaker 4: Great Jim Morrison too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I never saw the doors.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe I watched part in high school. I'm not
I'm not undred secure, but yes, it's good.
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean he really looks just like Jim Morrison.
Speaker 1: He does, he absolutely does, and that's very hard to
pull off that entire vibe. So rest in peace to
Val Kilmer Alanda. Besides besides that, Miss Lincoln, how was
the how's the play? Miss what? That's an old saying, like,
like you know, besides that, like you know, besides your
husband getting shot. It's kind of like it's a way
of saying, like, you know, that's some really awful news.
It's kind of the main thing. But like, you know,
besides that, how.
Speaker 4: Is it a good I went to the block this morning.
Speaker 7: I feel great. Yeah, I feel very energized. I love
going in the morning. Like I know, it's kind of
it's hard to get up, but like once you're up
and once you're there and once you're done.
Speaker 4: You feel great.
Speaker 1: The hardest part is starting. Yeah, but it is all
worth it. Yeah, when you have the endorphins in you
to begin the day and you know, Hey, I don't
have to do it for.
Speaker 4: The rest of the day, right, you know that's the
good part.
Speaker 1: Hey's in the barn. Yeah, physical, Hey is in the barn.
Great feeling.
Speaker 7: I thought about doing a little coal plunge because we
were talking about it yesterday.
Speaker 1: Head over to the Elite Training Academy. Yeah, hit up
a little cold plunge, hotea. They get some incredible tech
over there. I'll actually be going over there right after
the show, but to the Austiner side to go do
some physical therapy, try to get some work on this.
Just garbage can of his shoulder, no labram, no cartilage,
just all bone on bone grinding.
Speaker 3: You do love grinding, so true?
Speaker 1: Yeah? True? Actually I have grinding in the document today.
Did y'all see Dylan Brooks ding up Lebron James. I
mean it's it's it's the most grinding in a in
a game in the NBA where a lot of defense
can share some connective tissue with grinding, Dylan Brooks has
taking it to the next level, and it's pretty effective
to be fair.
Speaker 5: Brooks is the guy that like I hate watching in
like pickup games and stuff like That's that's Dylan just
because he goes hard.
Speaker 6: No no, no, no no no.
Speaker 1: Bill Mormer definitely goes hard.
Speaker 5: He goes hard on defense because he doesn't have the
offensive game on yet.
Speaker 1: But you need that guy on the playground who's gonna
go all out rebounds, all out defense and then doesn't
need to shoot. Like, what a valuable piece for the
rec league team? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 6: Like I saw something the other day, like.
Speaker 1: What are you a shooter? No? God, Taylor's a ball
dominant guard just that just demands it every time he
comes up the court.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm just not a shooter.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, So you want to run point? Yeah,
you want everything flowing through you, like I like like.
Speaker 6: William Steve Nash.
Speaker 1: You're like.
Speaker 3: Three, yeah, looking at three. He's either two things.
Speaker 2: He's either the guy we're talking about, the defensive guy
that slaps the four floors that I would have guessed that,
But he's he's the white guard that just sits on
the wing and just claps his hands waiting for somebody.
Speaker 1: To pass it, I would have gain. I would have
gone with both those, either high guy or pure shooter guy.
I would not guess. But but here we are. He's
a floor general. Yeah I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's Steve Novak. That's who he is.
Speaker 8: Steve.
Speaker 2: Maybe wish was a good enough shooter to do that.
Speaker 5: See three, guy, I'm the guy that has one move
in basketball.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna just dribble, try to get a lay up
if I can. I'm passing.
Speaker 1: It's penetrate, penetrating, dish that modern NBA dude, penetrate and
kickout there you go, what do you got a little crossover?
How are your handles? If you're gonna be floor general,
you gotta have good handles.
Speaker 6: The handles could use some word. Passing is okay? My
passing's okay.
Speaker 1: Again, guys, I don't play basketball. No, I just let
you know this is what I do if I do
it anyway. So welcome in today Show. It's gonna be
a great show. YouTube dot com, Slash one, O four
or five, ESPN. If you want to get involved, why
don't we go ahead and get Today's show started. Packer
labor and staffing your local relive staffing experts. If you
are short staffed and you want high quality employees for
your job, you want Tiger labor staffing. Remember it, We're
not just looking at resumes on paper and then just
sending guys out. Okay, we get to know every potential
employee during our inboard, in person onboarding process. Every morning
over a cup of coffee. We're up interviewing and dispatching
every morning at five am. Tiger labor and staffing. Yeah.
So imagine this very good LSU baseball team dominates the
midweek once again. It was basically exactly what we said yesterday.
Any midweek pitcher is going to have a ton of
trouble with this lineup over a full twenty seven ounce
and the LSU staff when it comes to the midweek, well,
there's still questions. In Elite sec play, you have still
have a lot of depth and a lot of options
for these games. So LSU beats a good law Tech
team twelve to three. They are now ten and zero,
a perfect in the midwek Billy Schmid ended up getting
the start like we talked about, did did did very well,
and then the bets, and the Bets dominated Ethan Fry
continues to just be red hot. Bear Jones add another
home run to his tally doing what he does. Like
we mentioned yesterday, Cad every time he's getting start in
his midweek games, he's making the most of that potential experience.
He goes one of four, three RBIs, the three strikeouts,
but still five runs and eight hits for Cad in
the last three starts. So another very solid midweek game
for the Tigers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Daniel Dickinson got, you know, back kind of on track.
He goes to for four as well. In the top
of your lineup, I mean, think about the first five
guys that you throw out there. If they can continue
like they are, and you just get a guy or
two guys a game to step up that batting six, seven,
eight nine, I mean, your offense is damn near unstoppable.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so when.
Speaker 2: You've got five guys like that at the top, they
continue to deliver. Last night, you got three of those
guys batting over four hundred right now, and so this
Tiger's offense is super dangerous if they can just continue,
like if you get actually, if you just stays, like
if Jake Brown kind of stays where he's at and
Pearson and some of these other guys and you can
get you know, we talk about it all the time.
You could put Braswell and Reeves together to make you know,
one solid player, like if you can continue that, the
pitching's going to be something you have to worry about,
but when you have an offense like this, not as much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Cooper Williams also giving you a solid couple of
innings coming out of the pen after Schmid. There Derek
Curiel reaching base twice. So of course, of course, why
not you know, hitting a walk, because that's what Derek
Carroll does. He's a he's a freshman who is far
beyond his years. So okay, anything else to say on
last night's midweek game, Alandra at Tete.
Speaker 4: I didn't watch too much of it.
Speaker 7: My biggest takeaway was that Mexico is a badass.
Speaker 4: Last name.
Speaker 1: Yes, they had in Mexico on the team. Yeah, Sebastian Mexican.
Sebastian Mexico. Okay, that is I did not know that
was going to be his first name. Of course, I
made the Ron Mexico joke in the group text last night,
but Sebastian Mexico sounds like a Quentin Tarantino character. That
is a fantastic name.
Speaker 9: Wow.
Speaker 1: Wow. Anyway, Sorry, he's from Portugal. Okay.
Speaker 6: I may have lied about may have lied about that.
I completely made it.
Speaker 5: I just thought to be funny to have a guy
from Mexico who's or something.
Speaker 6: Actually, I actually looked up the roster after I sent that.
Speaker 1: From Massachusetts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Baldwinville, Massachusetts, Louisiana.
Speaker 1: Sebastian, Mexico. He's not Mexican, exceedingly white.
Speaker 5: Well, so it's so it's funny. I sent it because
I was like, it would be funny if like Mexico
from Portugal. I just you know, made up a place.
But then I was like, where's he actually from. I
was like, not from Mexico.
Speaker 1: Exceedingly white again from mass Massachusetts, Massachusetts went to for that.
Speaker 4: Do you get the last name Mexico? No idea from Massachusetts?
Speaker 1: No idea, that's crazy. I want to be named Tea
Bob Brazil. Can we do that? Yeah?
Speaker 5: I mean there's there's been a few Brazils for Brazil.
Speaker 3: True, Benny, Uh, I'll go. Jake Ireland.
Speaker 1: Jake Ireland. Oh, he sounds like a fighter, dude. Jake Ireland.
That guy has won a couple of belts back in
the Great Depression? Did he's a hole? You know, a
couple of couple of light heavyweight belts. He was a beast,
tough some Yeah, tough some gun for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 3: What is lightheaded with like one eighty five?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I think it's like five or.
Speaker 3: Something about I can cut, I can cut?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, heavy?
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 1: We got like have we written all over you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 3: Taylor did Mark German?
Speaker 6: Taylor German is actually a good name.
Speaker 4: I don't know my I guess Mexican.
Speaker 1: Mexican, very cool, creative, very creative.
Speaker 4: My last name is a state in Spain.
Speaker 1: The laundri Mexico. Oh really re Oh yeah, I guess.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Texas it's a great soccer club, all right,
So what do I go for?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 1: I don't. One other funny element read about the game
last night Joe Hunt for pointing out on Louisiana Sports
on neet but Zebradell and Bradie Dross, a couple of
former Tigers, also to home runs. Home runs. Yeah, that's
what I'm saying. Both both coming up with home runs
in the in the box. So that's kind of cool. Uh,
you know, Tigers still win and former guys who who
you know were once a part of the squad having
success as well as well.
Speaker 5: It's cool coming into the game. I think Brodie Dross
was actually batt in like two ninety. He's actually having
a pretty good year. Pitching staff got into some jams
last night. I mean, but they got out of it.
I mean there was a there was one where bases
were loaded one out unless you got out of that
inning not allowing any runs. And you know, I'm sitting
there watching the game. I had to do the game
in studio, in the games on the TV as well,
and I'm watching, I'm like, you know, unless you's struggling
a little bit. But guys, I looked across the SEC.
D'lsee what happened in the SEC last night?
Speaker 4: Now Texas Texas lost.
Speaker 6: In Texas State.
Speaker 5: Yea, UAB beat all the and so I mean, sure,
did you play your best out of the gate. No,
you struggled at times. But Texas would like a win,
would like a win.
Speaker 1: It just sucks because text also lost the midweek right
before you played them. It just sucks at everything with Texas.
Now they can claim series dub but you may you
may have some chance for revenge yet in this baseball season,
but it's not going to come anytime soon. What's coming
soon is Texas is arch rival Oklahoma. As you're preparing
to hit the road to go to Oklahoma tomorrow for
the series. And as far as what Oklahoma's done so
far this year, we'll do a deep dive on them
tomorrow to preview the series. But to open the season,
they went to South Carolina, they took two of three,
and they were home against Mississippi State they took two
of three, and then they go to Tuscaloosa where they
lost two of three. So five and four on the year.
Two series wins, one on the road, one at home,
and then a road series loss to a good Alabama team.
So currently ranked at the top ten, it's going to
be a great series LSU and our arch football rivals. Yeah, Oklahoma,
those damn sooners. Looking forward to that, all right? Coming
up next though, here on off the bench, let's get
to some of these NFL meetings. As Kellen Moore talk
to the meet yesterday and revealed the few little interesting
nuggets about your New Orleans Saints' future. Keep it locked

Speaker 8: Back to Off the Bench where the takes are hot
and the sports talk is questionable.
Speaker 1: What's up, y'all? Welcome back to OTB. Kellen Moore meeting
with the media yesterday. Do we play the Kellen Moore sound?
I still can't. I mean, I can't help it. I'm
actually getting very excited for Kellen Moore. I'm into Kellen Moore.
Speaker 3: But your teeth guy, huh.
Speaker 1: I am, I am. I just don't know. I just
don't know that. I still don't know that. I think
that Kellen Moore audio plays.
Speaker 4: Well, we don't have to do it.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking. I'm thinking I just got.
Speaker 4: It just in case we don't have to do it, though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Oh have more ready to go
because that's going to add into our conversation. All right. So,
I think the most interesting piece of news of the
day is that these Saints are hosting Quinn yours on
a Top thirty visit. I did not know exactly what
a Top thirty visit is. It's exactly what it sounds like, right.
Each team can host up to thirty draft eligible players
in their facility, So these are players that you would
have on your board as potential draftees. I think where
this maybe becomes a bit more interesting is this is
now the third time that they'll be crossing paths with yours.
They met with that the combine, they took him to
dinner in March before his pro day, and now they're
hosting him on a visit as well. And you look
at the Saints, they got a lot of picks maybe
around like pick one thirty, So like that would seem
to make a lot of sense. Like it's impossible to
ignore the fact that Kellen Moore obviously has some interest
in Quinn yours. And here's what Kellen Moore had to say,
see if that got the right quote here about about
you know, always kind of being on the lookout for
a quarterback. It's more five.
Speaker 10: I think every team in the NFL is always trying
to bring in quarterbacks and develop them under any circumstances.
So everyone does homework every year on the quarterbacks. It's
a very valuable position. And so obviously we feel like
we have some We have Derek who's played a ton
of football and we feel great about and then we
have you know, certainly our organization is investing in quarterbacks
the last few years with Spencer, Jake and then Ben
and so you know, we got a number of guys
who were trying to develop as wealk.
Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe we'll just stick to reading the quotes.
Speaker 9: But again, sounds like somebody it's a little Kermit the Frog.
Well yeah, not fully, but it's somebody else.
Speaker 2: I'm going to figure it out, hopefully not on this
show because it means we're too much of it. But yeah, okay,
so I will say this. I went on one pre
draft visit. Okay, where'd you sandiego?
Speaker 1: There you go? So you think there's again a ton
of things still have to break the right way, right,
Like somebody could decide that they really love Quinn yours,
or a player that you don't expect to be there
at one point thirty could suddenly be there and you're like, god,
we do like Quinn. But this feels like a bigger
steal right here. So again, this is not any guarantee
that they are going to take Quinn yours, but they
obviously have interest, and they obviously think he's intriguing from
his talent to where he's slotted to go in this draft.
And I would agree with that I would agree with that,
like yours is a guy who is flawed definitely, but
has a beautiful natural throw and I love his maturation.
We've talked about this, like, I like how Quinn youwres
scores on the intangibles front and and so, yes, maybe
we're taking a shot on that guy and seeing if
he can develop into Leepe. Yeah.
Speaker 9: I think he's got an elite skill set.
Speaker 3: It's can you get that for two tortality of a
football game? Yeah?
Speaker 2: And so there's some of those mental things that he
has matured, and I totally agree with you there, But
can you continue to mature to a level where you
play like you've shown so many times throughout a football
game consistently for three straight weeks? And so that is intriguing.
Like if you see some of the throws that he makes,
you're like, I can get the most out of that guy.
So I understand it. I understand why you would be
interested in him. Let me throw a hypothetical at you.
Would you rather select Shodar Sanders at nine and some
you know, random corner at forty right in the second round.
We talked about one the other day.
Speaker 3: I think the one out of East Carolina or.
Speaker 1: Would you Carolina corner sounds good? Actually, I know we
make a lot of small school jokes, like an East
Carolina corner is probably going to be adult?
Speaker 2: Or would you rather take Tyler Warren out of Penn
State at nine and Quinn? Yours at forty?
Speaker 1: Is okay? So is yours going to go forty? Everything
I've been seeing is in like them more like ESPN.
Speaker 2: ESPN dot com had a mob draft last week that
had him going to the Saints at that pick.
Speaker 1: Mmm, I mean I would probably say Tyler Warren because
again I do have major questions.
Speaker 9: Sure it would be exciting. Would rat Warren in yours?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 9: I think Sorers in a defensive player.
Speaker 1: I think Warren and yours. Maybe that's an even bigger
reach at forty than it would be for Shooter at nine.
I guess I also have questions surrounding Shuder, where I
don't have any questions surrounding Tyler Warren. Like the Saints
have to get their first round pick.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah?
Speaker 1: And I feel like Tyler Warren is about as safe
of a prospect as you can get, partially because the
position he plays, but also that just that skill set
obviously will translate to the NFL. So and maybe an
offense like the like the Saints where cal Moore is
gonna look to use Taysom Hill creatively. Tyler Warren can
also start to become a piece that you can you
can move all around. So yeah, I would take the
I would take the latter deal. Uh there. I guess
what I would maybe want to push back on though,
is having any great expectation for yours. Now, if you
draft shoot or at nine, expect away, because that is
what comes with being a first round quarterback. But anytime
you take a later round quarterback, understand you are you
are rolling the dice and hoping to get a bit lucky,
hoping to hit eight the hard way. It probably won't
work out, but if it does, it can pay great dividends.
So like, don't don't get over hyped on hewers on
heres yours if they were to take him, but it
would be it would be interesting and obviously they have interest.
Maybe the other thing I was interested with quarterback that
Calimore talked about is that he wants a backup set
by the beginning of the season. He doesn't like a
backup battle with guys jogging back and forth. He thinks
everybody clearly needs to know where they stand and so
everybody can prepare accordingly.
Speaker 2: And he yeah, he kind of mentioned the quarterback room,
and you got some assets in that. They're not first round,
second round assets, but still fourth and fifth rounders, I mean,
and fourth and fifth round guys are supposed to be
on the team. Fourth round guys supposed to be somebody
that you can count on being a starter at a position.
That's why it took Jake Hayner. So they do have
some resources into that room. You still don't feel great
about it, but I could certainly see them at forty.
Speaker 9: If there's a.
Speaker 2: Quarterback they love, and you bring somebody in for a
Top thirty visit, you're interested, Yeah, beyond a little bit,
you know what I'm saying. Like you, that's somebody that
you can identify being on your football team.
Speaker 1: And I know and you remembered them twice before too,
So like you, it was an informed decision to make.
I'm on the Top thirty visit.
Speaker 2: So when I went on my visit, the Chargers were
for sure going to take kind of a tweeter running
back fullback. It was me, Peyton Hills and Owen Smith
it was us three.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, and so like that's what they didn't want
to do.
Speaker 2: They were going to select one of us, and they
wanted to bring us in, have us, you know, have
a meal with them, go over film, meet LT, like
the whole deal. So all three of us did it,
and so like they were going to select that.
Speaker 9: Position meat LT.
Speaker 1: How'd that go?
Speaker 9: Great, it's good. Nervous, it's good a little bit.
Speaker 2: I mean he had just come off like one of
the best running back seasons we had ever seen.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like the thirty touchdown season, was it?
Speaker 10: Not that?
Speaker 9: But like two years after that, so six he did that.
Speaker 3: This was No.
Speaker 1: Eight. Yeah, legend a dog.
Speaker 2: And you know whoever was getting selected was going to
replace Lorenzo O'Neil.
Speaker 1: High pressure, so high pressure visit there. But again you
went on a top thirty visit to the Charges and
you ended up being drafted by the Charger. It's almost
like if you if if they bring you, you know,
on a visit like that, it's not one hundred percent,
but it's like ninety five percent that they are willing
to draft you with one of their picks.
Speaker 9: Yeah, like five percent.
Speaker 2: Smokes Green sometimes bring a guy in a team behind
you has been eyeing him. You know it, Hey, let's
bring that guy in, maybe create some trade value. Sure
you do that, but ninety five percent of the time
when because you only get so many of Yeah.
Speaker 1: It'd be a waste of resources if you were playing
too many games.
Speaker 2: You're bringing your guy in that you can see being
on your football team.
Speaker 1: So will Quinn You weers end up being on the
football team. Time will tell, but it's certainly something to
watch going into the draft. All right, when we get
back here and off the bench, I want to get
to some other news out of the NFL meeting, some
rule chains and what now we got flus Street coming
up an hour two, Keep a lock right here on
off the bench. After bench, go to Pelican Roofine. Pelicanroof

Mister Jeff has been patient with me and also respond

You go to pelicanroof dot com.
Speaker 8: For chaos off the bench with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 1: The nookie says the NFL meetings are no big deal
and that Billy Lucci's tweet from twenty twenty one is
far more interesting. And I don't entirely disagree because one
of the funnest things that you can do as an
LSU fan is to make fun of Texas A and
m It just is it's great and we love Billy Lucci.
But here's what Luke tweeted back in twenty twenty one.
First comes the commitment, then the right coach, then the
culture change. Jimbo won Natty one, playoff, Buzz, Elite eight,
three Sweet sixteens, and Schloss five College World Series have
been in AGI land for combined five years and five minutes.
Next come the championships. And I know a lot of
people are going to clown this, but at the time
probably felt like he was right. The last football season,
the Texas A and M team had just gone nine
to one, with their only loss a very close one
to the Alabama team that was, you know, one of
the best teams that we've ever seen. So, of course,
championships are around the corner. Ugh they're not. Unfortunately, since
that moment, well there was some good Schloss would have
gone to the gone to Oma twice, made a final
before losing. What would it Buzz end up doing maybe
three tournaments in a row.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but he didn't. He didn't go very far. Did
he Did he get to it in Elite date?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but maybe a Sweet sixteen I think
won Sweet sixteen. Maybe, but I guess the point is
championships did not come. Some success came, but since that
moment Jimbo imploded, it's been fired. Sloss left for Big
Brother in the most snaky, emotionally brutal way possible, right
after playing in a championship, and now Buzz Williams has
left just to go be the Maryland head coach. You know,
just I mean nothing, just a completely lateral move.
Speaker 6: Not North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Maryland's got a great mayor a.
Speaker 3: Maryland's a better basketball.
Speaker 1: I think they're a better job sure as far as
on the court.
Speaker 2: Now, Maryland's won national championships before, and they've had runs
and it's probably the most popular sport there. So you're
not fighting against that. But here's what is surprising. When
your coach leaves you like you're both four seeds this year,
so he both had success from the court. But also
Kevin Willard left Maryland in the Big Ten to go
to Villanova.
Speaker 3: Now, Villanova's won.
Speaker 2: Two national championships last ten years and so it's kind
of had its own run.
Speaker 3: But the resources are different at Villanova than they are Maryland.
Speaker 2: Now, you're not fighting against football because they play at
the FCS level, But I mean Villanova's a small school.
Speaker 3: It's like seven thousand students.
Speaker 2: But like Kevin Willard couldn't wait to get out of Maryland,
and Buzz Williams is leaving kind.
Speaker 1: He kind of like was very honest about the problems
doing the way out.
Speaker 2: Yes he was, And so Buzz goes from a place
where he has all the resources. Look, if you've got
a job in the SEC are the Big Ten, Like
it's surprising if you so. Willard leaving the Big Ten,
as I said, to go to the Big East surprising.
But for Buzz to leave to go to a place
that there's still some issues with your resources, that's surprising.
Like what is going on in Aggieland where these coaches
cannot wait.
Speaker 3: It seems like to.
Speaker 2: Get out of there because we've always heard you're gonna
get whatever you want at Texas A and M and
at Day and Age, where that matters more than anything else.
Speaker 3: Kevin Willard was at Maryland.
Speaker 2: They were playing in New York City and he wanted
to stay an extra night in New York City for
Christmas for him and his team. So he reaches out
to Maryland, Hey, we want to stay an extra night here,
they're like not, can't do it, got to get back home, right.
Speaker 3: You don't have that at A and M. If you're
at A and M.
Speaker 2: Like hey, I want to stay in extra day Like okay, sure,
Like yeah, we got you. We'll call right, Like Kevin
Willer was vocal about things like that. And so you're
leaving a place again in the SEC just had fourteen
teams in the tournament.
Speaker 3: You've got all the resources.
Speaker 2: Uh, you're in a great area for AAU basketball out
of high school being in the Houston area. Yeah, I
know it doesn't matter as much, but it still means something. Yeah,
you can pay an n I L how bad is it?
And what's going on in College Station where you're leaving
that to go to a place where the coach just
left to go to Villanova.
Speaker 1: It's a really good it's a really good summation of
the events. And unfortunately I don't I don't know. I
don't know what's going on in College Station. Like I
understand the Schloss move. It's it's Texas where you always
wanted to be. Anyway, it's big money and whatnot. Yeah,
I'm not sure. I'm not sure, but shout out Billy Lucci,
he's uh, he's owned it. He's he's definitely owned the
tweet Championship.
Speaker 4: I'm getting cooked.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it ain't gonna by the looch one bit.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, And then I mean luch is really
he's the meme of the guy wiping his tears with cash.
I mean, the pain is not the worst thing for
texaggs dot com. No, pain is emotion, and emotion becomes economic,
becomes money in this day and age, and so it's
not the worst thing.
Speaker 5: Surely, speaking of I got to get a new textags
account now, so here's never gotten another one because you
got bad.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Here here's the question. Uh, text A and M's over
underwin total is seven and a half for football. Yes,
I feel like you have to blind bet the over
simply because of Texas etan four. Right, Like they're absolutely
gonna win eight games, but they're not gonna win nine.
You doubt Texas etan four. Remember Texas at and four
were both ways. They're never worse. Oh, they're never better.
They're worse when.
Speaker 5: Look at the gender the Jimbo years man, they were
praying to go eight and four.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's sure, they're worse. No, no, I believe
in Mom Fidelka textating for bet the over.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Let's see how many I.
Speaker 4: Thought you don't trust fat coaches, I.
Speaker 1: Mean the hard f it's more of it's more of
the strain coaches, Like you really can't trust a fat
strain coach.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: Also, Elko is Jimbo.
Speaker 3: I mean Jimbo wasn't.
Speaker 1: Too like ye, but Elco's not like last year. Elko
doesn't make me feel I don't get like a morbidly
obese feel from Elco. I mean he's a big man,
like he is a little larger but like but like
Brett Bielama, right huge, But I would I could, I
could trust Bert. I guess it's more when you're getting
into Mangino territory. Well, I mean, you.
Speaker 2: Know, I mean he's the most extreme exppen since so
since twenty fourteen, if you take out the year, the
COVID year where they went nine and one. Yeah, right,
So if you take that year out, because that look,
look that year was we all know, we all went
through it, right, So that wasn't it.
Speaker 6: They would have been really good.
Speaker 1: They would have been really good. But it's a year
in which, yeah, all things all bets are.
Speaker 2: Alright, So since twenty fourteen, eight and five, eight and five,
eight and five, seven and six, nine and four, eight
and five, eight and four, five and seven, seven and six,
eight and five.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, bet the over eight and five incoming.
Speaker 2: Let's their last ten plus win season came in twenty twelve.
And to go back to find another time where they
won at least ten games, you gotta go back to
nineteen ninety eight. Can you imagine what it would be
like here in this place if you had two ten
win seasons since nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 4: No, that's insane.
Speaker 1: Belief's a hell of a drug.
Speaker 4: Got hella belief?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's since.
Speaker 3: Nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 5: I've always been in the boat that Texas A and
M does not underachieve.
Speaker 3: This is who Texas is.
Speaker 6: This is who they've always been.
Speaker 5: You know what the ma problem with Billy Lucci's tweet was,
all of these things are correct, we could have stopped it.
Speaker 6: Has been in Aggie land. You cannot win in Aggie Land.
Speaker 1: How do we know?
Speaker 5: Because they haven't done it when was their football championship?
But I still makes sense you should be able to,
but they can't.
Speaker 6: Not a championship. I don't get it.
Speaker 1: And we're talking about it.
Speaker 6: I get it, But we're talking about all these coaches leaving.
Why are they leaving?
Speaker 5: Maybe Texas A and M is not the destination job
for these coaches that we think it is, because I
don't think it is. It's money, that's fine, But like,
if you're at Boston College in the ACC and Clemson
comes calling, you're leaving. If you're at Texas A and
M and Texas comes calling, you're leaving. I don't think
Texas A and M is a destination job. Well, it
makes them one.
Speaker 2: For all the things you're saying, Like, I totally agree
with you when everybody's like, oh my gosh, the expectation
they don't live up to.
Speaker 3: It's like they have network, Yeah, this is their exgit
they've never really done it.
Speaker 2: How many ten win seasons, ten plus win seasons do
you think LSU's had.
Speaker 3: Since nineteen ninety eight where A and M has had?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh look, I mean I don't think. No, it's
not as many as you think, but it's been it's
been a lot. I'd say probably like thirty five percent
of the time.
Speaker 3: Since nineteen ninety eight, LSU has thirteen ten plus win seasons.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's thirteen out of twenty seven thirty five?
Is that about thirty five? No, that's too cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah forty five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, about forty five.
Speaker 3: So and and again.
Speaker 2: So we lay that out about forty five percent of
the time, and still fans are like.
Speaker 1: A little bit more, Yeah, a little bit more. But
we got natties, you know, No, three of them? Yeah,
take the ring by who said who said that the
other day? Somebody?
Speaker 3: Three of them played for another What coach.
Speaker 1: Chucked about that the other day? What it's about? Like,
sometimes I get down and then I just look at
my ring boy Dan Hurley.
Speaker 3: If I had to guess, I think it was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was Dan Early. It's something about
something about like, yeah, you know, sometimes people talk trash
and it's like it's but then I look at my
ring box and like, never mind, hell yeah I was
Dan Hurly.
Speaker 7: I think College Station just sucks as a place and
every Aggie is completely insufferable. So they probably just get
tired of dealing with that.
Speaker 1: Maybe, I mean, look yeah, maybe so I don't know,
but there you go a little Texas Ay and m
talk here tossaciate you there, nook man, that poor poor louch,
poor luch freezing cold takes tweet right there. All right,

Speaker 8: Welcome in to the best morning sports this show around
off the Bench with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 1: All Right, So a lot going down to the NFL
owners meaning yesterday and what can only be described as
highly annoying, the tush push conversation has been tabled till
May again. At this point, just push your get off
the pot. You know, I don't care. I'm sick of
I've said my piece on it. I don't think that
you banned. If you want to ban it, they'll go ahead.
I just like i just want a decision to be made.
I'm so sick of talking about it. Over time. Regular season,
both teams going to get a chance to get the
ball even after a touchdown, so it's going to be
like the playoffs still only going to be ten minutes,
so ties and plays if you cannot score. This is
interesting that chat just mentioned. I never heard of teams
can now prepare kicking footballs k balls before game day?
Is this is this a I'm not being April fools here, right,
How big of a difference.
Speaker 2: Is that the ball is a little bit different. It's
not as.
Speaker 3: Slick.
Speaker 2: It does have a little bit of a different shape
to it typically, like I always felt like it was
a little bit fatter.
Speaker 6: The k ball.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like not, you're not just talking about the duke,
not just like the knuckleball in general. Yeah, the caball interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so like anytime catch a kick off or whatever
like it.
Speaker 3: It's a different feel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chris Little saying that McAfee's calling for like six
second hangtime on punts. Okay, that's something that'll be something
interesting to uh be on the lookout for if if
that increases. Where's Donnie Jones? Donnie, if you're listening, hit
us up.
Speaker 3: Hey, Donnie. I'll try to bring one in tomorrow.
Speaker 1: And I thought a caball with something else entire the difference, Uh,
chain gang guys, pour one out. Chain Gang is no more.
They'll still be on the field, but they're like a
vestigial organ. They just have no there. They're they're not
gonna do anything. Now. Balls are not going to be
spotted electronically, but there will be a chip in the
ball and the line to gain will be measured electronically.
If you go in Sep. Fifteen Taylor in the document,
you can see a video from the UFL where it
shows how this looks and it is exact. Jake in
this video in the UFL, it calls for fourth down
saying it's point two inches short. And it kind of
reminds me of like the tennis replays, you know, where
it shows you a digital representation of the ball on
the line. And I know I or I think I'm
in the minority, but I hate this. I hate this.
My kids will never know the excitement. You can just
play it. We don't need sound. My kids will never
know the excitement of the chains jogging out there, the
one guy putting the chain link down on the line,
then watching the chains extend in the air and then
slowly get lowered onto the ground and in the lowering
one of the highest moments of drama in all of sports,
in all of sports. And now my kids are gonna
be cheated from that. They'll never know. That bumms me out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if it speeds the game up a little bit more, okay,
but you're right, like it is great drama.
Speaker 3: You got the guy wiggling out there go look at.
Speaker 1: The look, hey, look at the spurry or freaking out
video in there. And let's take a one of the best,
one of the best memory. Yeah, one of the best
Chain Gang moments. I also have the note card in
there was.
Speaker 3: That gene that did the note card.
Speaker 1: Yes, that was Jean's territory. That the note card. Uh
the show uh to to help make the call. Uh.
But look at this so so replayed from the beginning
to the chains come down, it looks like Michigan is
clearly short.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: They kind of finagle the chains a little bit. See,
like our kids are never gonna know that this ref
just said, effet, I'm calling first down.
Speaker 5: People talk about like some of the worst calls in
his note and then the next play clowny does this
ball don't lie the greatest players that guy's on the take.
You don't call that a first unless you include that
more when they're like worst calls ever, And like everybody
saw that it was short, it's right there.
Speaker 1: Late again. I feel like the ref jiggles the chain
back a little bit then to make it look like
a first like the slack okay, watch okay, like so okay,
So here we go so everyone's forgetting then and then
look yeah, and then he moved it back. He moved it.
He literally look, he literally moved it back.
Speaker 9: Still short.
Speaker 1: It's still short, like it's way short right there. So
r I P did the chain gang Man. Another win
for the Robics.
Speaker 3: Would have lost my mind.
Speaker 4: Unpopular.
Speaker 7: Sorry, go ahead, no, I was just gonna say unpopular
in a different sport. But this is why I hate
the pitch claw, because it takes away from the drama
of the game and the excitement and all of that.
Speaker 1: I don't mind pitchclock. I hate robot MPs. I hate
robot m I liked the pitchcock last week when he
got Lsu out of that inning. That was fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it also has walked people.
Speaker 3: Whoever the ump was behind the plate last night in
the Braves Dodgers. He needs robot MPs.
Speaker 8: Oh my god, it ain't the I don't think our
twoe next off the bench.
