Speaker 3: All right, so you know we are here in Atlanta,
and there is a lot of things going on in
Atlanta currently. It is not just SEC Media Days. There
is a two night beyond Hustle on a bus come
cert out of the traffic was brutal. There was a
WWE event as well. There's the MLB All Star Game
and there's also the MLB Draft. So a lot going
on here in Atlanta. I mean, Beyonce, was I say
the like of the things like you're able to attend?
I don't know. I don't know which one I would choose.
So maybe we walked R and B Thursdays. Is there
for a reason I got some deep love for R
and b.
Speaker 2: So we walked in the hotel yesterday to check in,
and by the check in there's this red carpet with
a spotlight and Beyonce just sitting at the end of
the red carpet. I was like, oh my god, Oh
that's a cardboard cutout and it was just like right
in the middle of the lobby. And we didn't know
at this time that there was a Beyonce concert, and
I was like, hmm, that's a strange thing to have
just sitting around. So we're checking in and all of
a sudden, I see, you know, I see someone with
a cowboy hat on and a like a sparkly skirt.
I see another cowboy hat. All of a sudden, I'm like,
this is the cant this is uh, this is a thing.
What is happening around here? And of course I think
Beyonce the did like two or three night concert. I
don't know if it ended last night, but there was certainly.
Speaker 3: I think one more night. Yeah, there's one more night,
because I'm pretty sure that my bosses at Sirius XM,
they said that they were all going to find a
way to go, like they were like, wait a minute, did.
Speaker 2: They thought, did they make it.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 2: We were looking at ticket prices yesterday.
Speaker 3: So they're going to go tonight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's gonna end on a Monday night maybe?
Speaker 3: Is that what today is? On a Monday?
Speaker 2: That's any right? So we had the sports bar yesterday
we were at at the hotel. There was like one
of those pop up boutique cowboy hat custom cowboy hats.
Couldn't convince Jake to get one.
Speaker 3: I told you they would have to cut two of them, ye,
kind of in half and sew it all together.
Speaker 2: Yeah you too though, Oh for sure. They had a
cup the top off so it fit down.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I'm not the only I'm not the only
heady Murphy here, I know.
Speaker 2: And then no, it was it like a big They're
just like weirdly shaped too. That's why our old pictures
of us, like, you know, look at the captain's picture
of us walking onto the field for the National Championship.
We just have these big red dots.
Speaker 3: On our head. We got the Peyton Manning dot.
Speaker 2: I don't know why, Like I never had that in
the NFL. Why couldn't we figure out our helmet situation?
Speaker 3: I never had the next level either.
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe just the pad technology improved from
seven to eight.
Speaker 3: Maybe it did, or maybe Greg just didn't fit us, right,
I don't know. Do you tell me?
Speaker 2: Come on, Greg, what are we doing? Why I used
to have to put second skin?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Remember that because in training camp is like I don't
know if I was like breaking in a brand new
like front pad and a helmet every single season. I
just wanted to use the same one from last yearcause
it was already broken in and it's it's not it's
like breaking into a you know, a leather pair of
shoes or something like that. It takes some time. It's
got a form to your head. But I would always
it always rub like a strawberry, like it was take
the skin off, and it was. That was one of
the most miserable things camp old Peyton Manning dot Yeah
what fun. But well anyway we got there.
Speaker 3: Well, I bring up everything that's going on currently in
Atlanta because the MLB Draft was last night, and again
I understand what this trip is. This is all football
all the time, but certainly LSU baseball is something that
over the last couple of weeks and months we have
all enjoyed and we all know what LSU baseball means
to LSU fans, and so we certainly want to mention
and you know by now if you're a LSU baseball fan,
that there was multiple Tigers drafted. Now look later on
today the Hunt Palmer Show. Hunt is here this year.
He is going to break down all of the high
school players that were signed these to LSU and what
the likelihood is like Quentin Young and Dean Mawson. He's
going to break them all down, right. But here for
us on this show, we're going to talk about the
guys that we saw in Purple and Gold, the guys
that made the run and eventually won a national championship
there in Omaha. And the first player off the board
we thought he was going to go one on one,
he goes won three. Kate Anderson selected third overall by
the Seattle Mariners. Of course, Anderson led the nation with
one hundred and eighty strikeouts and one hundred and nineteen
innings during last season and was named the College World
Series Most Outstanding Player after his complete game shutout in
the finals. No surprise that Cad went incredibly high. The
only surprise is he went third, not one. But just
like we always talk about the MLB draft is just
its own beast, it's its own thing.
Speaker 2: A lot yesterday watching that durt he probably did with
nigh spot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So the Nationals decided they'd rather save a couple
of million dollars and select a high school shortstop and
not select Kate Anderson because they kind of know, you know,
what it's going to cost to get Kate Anderson. Kate
Anderson has the ultimate leverage because he has a year
where he could go back to LSU, be dominant, and
be right back in the same situation. But they decide,
which is crazy to me in major league sports, baseball football, back,
that you would potentially miss out on a Kate Anderson
to save a couple million dollars, like in the scheme
of things, like the high school shortstop might be great,
he might suck. Yeah, so right, I mean, like, yeah,
you know, Kate and said, we don't know that Kate
Aerris is going to be great in the big leagues,
but we know Kate Anderson in the SEC, which is
like double A baseball basically dominated.
Speaker 2: Right, And and we couldn't we were watching the draft yesterday,
we couldn't necessarily hear it, but we were watching it
at the little sports bar here, and so I did.
I learned a lot from Hunt and Miscona. They were
I didn't know. So in the MLB Draft there's a
slotted price value for for each slot, but a kid
can take less or they can pay it more on
that slot. So to save money, the Nationals take Eli Willitts,
shortstop out of high school in Oklahoma. Now they were
breaking him down like it's got kid's got an incredible swing.
It's like, looks like Bryce Harper out there, swinging like
swing with power, all the all the tangibles. But to
save money, and I believe that the slot for the
first pick they were telling me was about eleven million,
so they did. They saved around two point two two
ish million dollars by making that pick. So we'll see
how it works out. But of course Kate Anderson goes.
Hi goes to the Mariners on the third overall pick.
So excited for him, excited for his family, excited to
see what his his pitching path is going forward. We
expect big things out of him. So I don't know,
it was it was just exciting to exciting to watch.
Speaker 3: So he goes third overall Chase Shores drafted forty seventh
overall by the La Angels, and we all know what
the potential of a Chase Shorts can be. Certainly saw
him find his way after having the injury missing a year.
You could tell with each in every appearance he was
only getting stronger and stronger. We all know how fast
he can throw the baseball. We talked about it often,
and Chase Shorts can find his way into an MLB bullpen,
I think really fast. I mean he feels like he
is as ready as anybody in this draft. We've heard
Jay Johnson say that a thousand times, this one for
the Angels. I don't blame. Like forty seven might seem
high to some people. I think it is perfect for
him because of what his ceiling can be and what
we saw from him as he continued to come back
from Tommy john Just each and every time we saw
him as like a little bit stronger, a little bit stronger,
more control. I don't think he walked to anybody in Omahall.
I mean that's not something we would say about Chase
Shores a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just kind of from myself being like an
outsider perspective of watching him, just like getting into baseball
right during the postseason. Myself, this seems like just a
clearly a draft pick based on potential and talent. Of course, Ironsen,
it was a little bit surprising to me that Chase
Shores went before Ironsen did, But that might not have
been surprising to anybody else out there, just because Ainstin
was so you thought of, well thought of around the country.
He was a great second starter for us. But man,
watching Chase Shores just all the intangibles. Throws it hard,
throws it accurately. I think they got a good one
there myself. But let me, was it a surprise to
people outside of that he goes before Ionsen that?
Speaker 3: I think that was a surprise, maybe not even more
like where Chase went, because Chase was somewhere in that
range of forty five to sixty five, and baseball, again,
drafts a little bit different than others, so you weren't
really sure if you could hone in. But he goes
forty seven. I think Anthony Iinson, who goes eighty seventh
overall to the Boston Red Sox, that was a surprise
because at the end of the year fun. I think
you could argue that he was the best pitcher in
the country, like for a stretch of an extended period
of time, not just like a week or two, but
in sec play. Once he hunkered down, there was nobody
better in the country. I mean, we're talking about the
guy who's third in the nation in strikeout, so you
know he's a slouch. And what do you have like
one hundred and fifty two strikeouts this year. I'm surprised
that eighty six people in this draft were considered better
than Anthony Irons. I am, I'm gonna be honest with
your high school college. I don't really care. That's a
guy that I thought would go in the first thirty
five picks. So the Boston Red Sox, in my opinion,
they get a steal at eighty seven.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm i'll. I think it was a comfortability, like
you saw as an LSU fan seeing ionsin go out
there on the mound, and there was a comfortability to say,
we know we're going to get a good out in here.
He kind of got dimmed up a little bit but
here and there, but overall really consistent. Three strikes had
so much matter. I was so impressed with both him
and k the movement they have on their ball and
able to pitch in situational pitching, not put not give
free runners on base. It was just so yeah. I
mean like like, I'm not going to pretend that I
know the ins and outs of the MLB draft, but
the way you put it right there, to have eighty
plus people get drafted in front of him, I have
a hard time believing because what I saw and Omaha
was a pretty dominant pitcher.
Speaker 3: YEP, looking forward to seeing how it goes for him.
I just think that he is way too talented to
last until the eighty seventh pick there. I think he's
somebody that proved what he can do in the best
league in college baseball and excited for his future. I
know our guy, Matt Musso was probably pretty excited that
he went to the Boston Red Sox. All right, one
final one because we've got LSU coming up here really
any minute now, so we want to make sure that
Ethan Fry gets a shout out. He was selected ninety
fifth overall by the Houston Astros. What a year for
Ethan Fry three thirty one batting average, thirteen home runs,
fifty RBIs and was as consistent as anybody there in
the postseason. I said it a thousand times already. But
against the Little Rock. If he doesn't get moved to
the two hole, if he doesn't deliver with the bases loaded,
who knows where LSU season is, right because the night
before they had the bases loaded twice did not come through.
Love the fact that somebody that waited the turn alat
Garrett Nessmayer like eating fries. That kind of guy gets rewarded.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And is this a was this expected for him
to go this earlier? Think this is kind of a
could be a blow to LSU next season.
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody thought he would go this high.
Well just because you know, based off one year sample
size and playing really in sixty two games. But I
think when you look at his size and the speed
and athletic ability, I know that you know he's he's
a DH candidate, but I mean he's an athletic guy.
I think you're normal DH, right. I mean, he obviously
has some athletic ability tool and we've seen him get
down the line. I'm sure the sixty is going to
be great and has been great obviously, so Ethan Fried
to me, somebody you take a shot on, You take
a shot on his size and his raw tools, and
you saw just in one year, and you're expecting, like
he might not make it to the big leagues as
fast as these other guys that we're talking about, but
he has all the ability to do so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think going this high, I think yeah,
I would say the odds are that he's probably probably
out of there, probably gone. So yeah, kind of a
blow to the LSU team for twenty twenty six, but man,
props to him. Without him, just like you said, we
don't make the rhyme. I mean you can say that
about top to bottom on the lineup and the pitching staff,
but just one of those key parts, key pieces to
this national championship team. So congratulations to Ethan Fry. I
know he was very highly thought of of his teammates
as a leader and just one of those guys that
gave you a lot of comfortability in that lineup every
time that he stepped in the batter's box. So congrats,
congrats all the guys that have been drafted so far.
Speaker 3: So all right, we will take a break and when
we come back, we're gonna catch up with LSU Tiger

Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in OTV one and four five
ESPN Baton rouge, and we are now joined by LSU
quarterback Garrett nuss Meyer. Flynn quickly became the second best
quarterback here on set with us. It's glad to have
you on the show, man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me. There we go.
Speaker 2: We got it.
Speaker 3: We got him now. Yeah, Flynn sabotage you because I
said what I said about you joined the show and
him being the second best quarterbacks. Look at these Look
at these fat fingers with the board.
Speaker 2: It doesn't work out. The physics of this do not
work out.
Speaker 3: It's just a lot of buttons over Okay, dude. They
gave us sound effects and everything. So if you say
something that we think is pretty funny, okay, we'll hear that. Okay, Okay, good,
I like that. There we go like that.
Speaker 2: What's up?
Speaker 3: Man, you're number two? You're here again. I had a
chance to catch up with you last year. But as
we always say, like even on the field, off the field,
I'm sure year two feels a lot better, a little
bit more comfortable, you know what to expect and you're
number one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, I mean just having them last year to
more for the off season, to go back, you know,
watch the tape, have a full season to study of myself.
You know, see all the highs and all the lows,
and how to manage those lows. You know, how to
you know, obviously take better care of the football, things
like that, you know, but also having confidence in the
goods as well, you know, seeing what I was able
to do and having confidence and being able to do
those things again while also you know, raising the floor.
Speaker 3: A little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you go and and you look at last
year and you start breaking down the film self scouting
everything that you did. So many things well, right, there's
things that in your game and that you've shown on
the field that but there's not a lot of improving.
You're doing things that the guys at the next level do.
But when you go back and watch and you have
to be critical of yourself, like what is like one
of the main things that you go and we all
have to do it. All quarterbacks have to do what
no matter Tom Brady did it he has to go
and say, what do I not do well right now?
What are those things for you?
Speaker 3: Absolutely?
Speaker 4: Well, obviously it's taking care of the football, you know,
not not trying to force things and make plays, you know,
being a better manager of the game, manager of the
offenses in the run game as well. You know, I
think there are a lot of things, and you know,
I don't like to get too into specifics, but I
think those are kind of the two main things that
jump off the tape a little bit for me, and
just you know, it comes with I think also the
experience and going through those mistakes last year I think
will helped me a lot this year.
Speaker 3: So one of the cool things in the bowl game
prep and I'm getting ready for that game and going
out to practice, I see you kind of jail with
the new offensive line because look, there's four guys that
were drafted off the offensive line is a really good unit.
But it was cool to see the way that you
kind of integrated yourself and the team around these new guys, right,
guys that hadn't really played before, Like, what has that
been like trying to make sure that they're ready, because
I mean, you had some veteran guys in front of
you a year ago, and they were leaders as well.
But now like you're the quarterback, you're in charge of
leading that unit.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: Well, I think, for one, you know, all four of
those guys last year, they set a standard.
Speaker 3: You know, they set an example.
Speaker 4: You know, they all work their tails off, and I
think that that standard will not change. You know, I
think that the offensive line have really stepped up. You know,
the young guys have really accepted that challenge. They know
there's a standard to play. Coach Davis will always have
a standard to play for his offensive line unit, and
I think that you know, they're one of the hardest
working units on our entire team.
Speaker 3: They do so much extra stuff.
Speaker 4: They're always in their meeting, they're always trying to get right,
and so you know, when you have that expectation you
see what it's supposed to look like, you have those
guys in the room to show you that. I think
that those young guys have really embraced that scene, that
accepted that and really tried to work to meet that standard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that just with your experience, your playtime experience,
and what you've showned with you when you have new
guys in the huddle. It brings a sense of ease.
When you got a guy that's speaking in the huddle
like yourself, that has been there, has proven it kind
of relaxes everybody, and it's it's super important when you
have your breaking a new offensive lineman. But I wanted
to ask you, like with that when we talk about
you know, the past protection last year was the best
in the country. So we talked, I want to know
with new offensive lineman, how involved are you when a
pass play is called it's five six, seven man protection, whatever,
how involved are you with you know, making mic declarations
or changing or when you're seeing a blitz. Do you
have the freedoms to change protections and slide them into
different guys?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, we do everything in the quarterback position as
far as changing and setting that. You know, the the
center will set the mic and things like that, but
everything else is fully in our control. So yeah, I
think you know, it's more about just communication over communicating
for us in the style of offense we play, just
making sure we're always on the same page, making sure
you know that whoever's that center knows you know what
I'm thinking. You know, whether it's sitting down with DJ
last year, just watching tape and being like, Hey, I
want you to know, you know, if we get this look,
this is kind of what I'm thinking, so that we're
already on the same page, you know. So when we
get to the game and I try to make a
check or a call, he's not like what is going on?
You know, he kind of understands what I'm seeing back there.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, I want you to wax poetic a little
bit about all your new weapons. Yeah, I mean and
returning weapons. No disrespect to last year because they were great,
but I think this year could even be better far
as the people that you have the ability to throw
the football to, and Barrian Brown and Nick Anderson, bart
Er Sharp and all these people that you've brought in.
And also I don't think a lot of people realize
Aaron Anderson was a leading receiver on this team a
year ago. Now you lose a safety blanket in Mason Taylor.
It's always a great weapon to have at a quarterback
position where you can trust a tight end, no doubt
like that. But so many good people you've brought in,
and you pair those with other people that played really
well last year. I know you have to be excited
about all the weapons you have.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think one thing you'll see from us is
so much versatility this year. You know, we have so
many different guys that are so good at many different things.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: I think that you know, there's there's not a receiver
in our room that doesn't run.
Speaker 3: Under a four to four, you know.
Speaker 4: So we have the speed, you know, we have the quickness,
you know, with guys like Aaron, and we also have
two tight ends that are unbelievable football players as well.
And we also have some more versatility in the running
back room this year with additions like like Carlon Barry
and things like that. So I think that the word
that will translate to this fall will be just the versatility,
you know, so many different ways to put the ball
into guy's hands to allow them to make place.
Speaker 2: When we get to the end of the season and
you look back on it and what to you is
going Garrett Nutmeser's version saying that was a successful season?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think it's no. It's very obvious
what the expectations are for our team from the outside,
and I think the best part about our team this
year is that expectation has also come from within. Uh,
there's no hiding that we expect ourselves to play for
a national championship. Now, there's no hiding that we expect
ourselves to play for an SEC championship. And so I
think that that is a successful season for us. You know,
that is what we expect. We expect to play at
that level, We expect to compete at that level. We
expect to be at that level.
Speaker 3: Being around the building a little bit, it seems like
there's kind of more messaging about being one to know
and starting want to know and point of focus on
this opener. We all know who it is. We don't
have to talk. I mean, it's Clemson, It's it's you know,
the other Death Valley, all that stuff on the road.
Has it been different in the kind of lead up
because we always talk about it, like in our years
we had like three Power four games that we opened
up with and I love that. I love having a
hate We got to you ready, we can't wait around.
As the message been a little bit.
Speaker 4: Different, Yeah, well, I think you know, when you play
at LSU, there's always an expectation to compete for a
national championship, right, And I think in the past five years,
we've been so lost in the result. You know, we've
been so focused on competing for national championship, for playing
for a national champions instead of what starts that, you know,
And so I think that the change has been less
of you know, yes it is Clemson. We're playing Clemson,
so it's become Clemson. But it's more of a one
on o mindset, you know, it's more of accepting the
fact that, yes, we expect ourselves to play for.
Speaker 3: National championship, but where does it start? You know, when
we're working.
Speaker 4: All off season, Let's not think about the national championship.
Let's think about starting the right way, you know, going
want to know, starting the season to lead ourselves to
have that path.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's it's hard as a team because you
want to in the off season, during the season, you
want to look ahead and think about all the games,
but it takes. So I was fortunate enough to be
part of two national championships when I was red shirted,
and then my senior year Jacob was part of one.
There's always something that's almost unexplainable, like when you talk
about what makes those teams different. There's good leadership, in
every single position room. There's good leaderships and units of
the offensive defense, and there's good team leadership. There's like
a hierarchy of leadership that all report to each other
and everybody is in unison. But it's hard to explain
that it factor. Now when you look at this team,
what do you feel about that this? Does this team
feel different than teams you've had?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Absolutely, well, I think, you know, it's definitely the deepest
roster that I feel like I've ever been a part
of LSU, the most talented roster. But I think you know,
what you're speaking to is just the closeness and the
camaraderie within the team. You know. I think that it's
been a while since I've seen you know, offensive and
defensive guys hanging out all the time, you know, and
so to see that, to see the brotherhood that we've
kind of created throughout this offseason, and I think it
kind of started with just having all these transfers coming
in and feeling like we have to get them within
the team, it's almost brought everybody together as well, you know,
And so it's been really cool to see something that's
very exciting and definitely the close team that I've been on.
Speaker 3: L shoe and I love seeing it from Afar. So look,
meathead is a tournament endearment for me. It's what we
call ourselves. And I see when I see the meatheads
of Pyburing and Weeks and all getting together, I'm like, exactly, Look,
those are offense and defensive guys, but they are like
close and they're like working out together doing meatthead things together.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, yeah, I mean there's a lot of that.
Speaker 2: So have you ever been in the weight room with
the whole team screaming at you hitting the.
Speaker 3: Chop up and there?
Speaker 2: What's your bench right now?
Speaker 4: I mean there might have been like a power clean
repping there where I got like.
Speaker 3: A small squad. You don't wait, you don't have you
don't have wheels where he's winking at the cancel before
he does six. Six would probably break me.
Speaker 4: I don't know about that.
Speaker 3: Oh hey, Garrett, Okay, So we've got a question and

knowing it just took a big shot.
Speaker 3: It did?
Speaker 2: Now? Is it five percent? Now?
Speaker 3: Did eroper? It's one per It has gone down drastically
to one percent. And I felt so bad because that
was who we're most confident in wood weeks and most confident.
He was number two. Though when we asked, I felt
back as I could see the disappointment that he let
us down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3: God. The other the other shocking thing about this whole
deal is then we started going around the room to
anybody that was close to us, and it was.
Speaker 2: Like they had not heard it. And they weren't in
college either. They were adult males, red blooded American.
Speaker 3: American man didn't know Jonathan mox in a varsity you know,
Jonathan mar Okay, thank you, thank you, my god?
Speaker 2: What are we doing? I mean, what are we teaching
our youths these days?
Speaker 3: I mean you played.
Speaker 2: His follow up question was like, was that my generation?
Speaker 3: Ah? God, you got us, he got us. No, it
wasn't guilty as charge. That's born. The real disappointing thing
is Brandon Barrio did not know who Jonathan Moxon was either.
Brandon Varsity Blues. We're talking about you on air, Brandon Barrio,
I know you can hear us.
Speaker 2: We're talking.
Speaker 3: We're talking bad about you on air. But as you
didn't know, Varsity Blues are Jonathan Boxon either.
Speaker 2: He's in college. That's fine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not as young as you think, So don't
use that excuse. Go home and watch it. Brandon Barrio
Varsity Blues?
Speaker 2: Do you think god nuts will?
Speaker 3: Ever heard of Billy Bob Miss Davis? Ever heard of
those characters? Hey, Jonathan Moxin, Bud Kilmer.
Speaker 2: Lance Harbor probably still coaching.
Speaker 3: With prize surprise, Lance Harbor, surprise surprise.
Speaker 2: Ever heard of the Alano.
Speaker 3: Club on the glass at that Alano Club?
Speaker 2: Yep, I get some pet Nuss doesn't.
Speaker 3: No, he doesn't. Has he ever been out way past
curfew the night before a game and you walk out
and you're like, oh, it's sun outside and not the moon.
Speaker 2: We got game tonight. Boy, do you think he'll take
us up on our advice to him to watch it
the night before the Clemson game in the hotel room.
He might throw for nine hundred yards if you.
Speaker 3: Ryan, I understand that Nuss was born three years after
the movie came out. I also look, I was born
after you know, some great movies as well. I was
born in nineteen eighty five. You don't think that I've
seen the nineteen eighty two classics. Of course I have.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, we've seen Scarface, Yeah, seventies.
Speaker 3: I think I've seen Rocky one. I was born yet.
Speaker 2: Anybody's seen The Wizard of Oz, seen that one before?
Speaker 3: Everybody on there was born calling the wind, seeing that puppy,
uh huh m. Anyways, I don't know. We need it.
Speaker 2: We got to reload, We got to regroup, We got
to get our composure back.
Speaker 3: He looked great, though, game looked great.
Speaker 2: Man, it was on point. You see, like, did you
notice the details? Details in a suit make it okay
because there's only so many like designs and patterns and colors.
But this the details, the little yellow button, yeah, little
yellow button.
Speaker 3: All right, what do you think? What do you think
he's down there talking about with Cole Kubrick and Greg.
Speaker 2: That interview is probably terrible.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, there's no doubt. Greg. Hey, like I made
this throw one time, and this is like cool, I
can make that with my eyes closed.
Speaker 2: Greg.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not even that big of ada.
Speaker 2: Greg.
Speaker 3: Yeah, nerd oh, Cole, what's the whole power counter gap scheme?
Speaker 4: Cool?
Speaker 2: I bet Macroy's never seen Varsity Blays either.
Speaker 3: Cole probably has. I'll give Cole that. No way, Macroy,
no way, he can never Johnathan mox and An't he
from Texas too? Though, no idea. I think he is.
He's from South Lake Carol. Okay, I did know that. Yeah,
I think. I mean you're pretty much neighbors.
Speaker 2: Basically.
Speaker 3: If he doesn't know, well, I'm asking him. I'm gonna
I want to really just be like, say.
Speaker 2: Greg, right, get out here, growing over here.
Speaker 3: Now, speaking of Greg, I think Greg sank he's right
behind me talking. He is. Yeah, that's Greg. Say, Greg's
gem like great here.
Speaker 2: We could get mc roy over here at some point
during the show, because you know, they probably like go
to break like right at the zero, like they're right
all the time, like a bunch of nerds.
Speaker 3: So you're saying, like when they go to break on time,
but we're like continuing our twenty three minute second that
he can come up with.
Speaker 2: The eight men over here. Fair enough, a bunch of
nerds over there. This is fun though. We were sitting
here College Football Hall of Fame my first time. Jacob
actually walked us around yesterday because he was bragging about
how there was an eighteen jersey here.
Speaker 3: There was there was a display.
Speaker 2: Well, we're still looking for it. We are still looking
for it here at the college football pictures and everything.
I got proof, Like I'm about the pretty.
Speaker 3: Sure though that the name on the jersey, I'm pretty
sure was probably Matt Mack. They just said Tigers on
it or something maybe something he was mocked up.
Speaker 2: But we got this. We got it. So obviously an
amazing view behind us, great Sankie talking right now, but
in front of us beautiful view as well. We got
all these beautiful trophies. We got like a huge wall
of helmets, more college programs than I ever thought there were.
For sure, what have we got like five hundred helmets?
Speaker 3: See, there's like a helmet for like every every team
that you've ever thought about thinking of they have a
helmet on.
Speaker 2: Every team in between high school and the pros is
in there.
Speaker 3: East Texas Baptist, they're there, the Tigers, I think, Oh,
I think they are. I should. My little brother played
for him. I shouldn't know that, but I don't. You should.
Definitely Mary Hard and Baylor probably got a helmet up there.
Speaker 2: Oh, there's no doubt. I can't even think of one that.
Speaker 3: Tyler Junior College probably tj C actually read a story recently.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's like a recent story, but
I don't know. My son brought this up to me
because he heard it Tyler Junior College actually had a
commitment from a quarterback with two prosthetic legs. Okay, I know, right,
because my son told me this. I was like, no,
there's no way that anybody would.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, but.
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely it was real. Well, good luck to him,
Good luck to him, good luck to him and TJC.
The apaches they've had there was like one. I wasn't
there like one player that came him out of there
that was like the good players.
Speaker 2: I can't remember off the top of my head any names,
but they, I mean, most Jucos do, especially like the
higher end juco's that play for a guess TJSE had
a run where they were playing for national times. I
didn't think we would transition to them. Yeah, here we are,
We're Hall of Fame. We got all these trophies, shiny things.
Speaker 3: So in the chat, should we change our expectation when
we talked to and if we do catch up with
wit weeks from Varsity Blues to the program? Does he
I think he actually still feels more Varsity Blues than
the program. M. I mean Latimer's probably, you know, Latimer
is definitely every meathead dream for sure.
Speaker 2: I guess that would be a transition, Like ask him
all the you know, because I said it was a
different generation, does that mean he's never seen like how
many good football movies movies have come out since he
was born? That are his generation? Like the replacements? Was
that that had to be still too young. That's around
the same time. As for Blues, if they do they
know of any do they have they ever heard of
the program?
Speaker 3: Maybe remember the Titans? No, they never heard the program.
If they hadn't heard of Varsity Blues, they han't heard
the program.
Speaker 2: Well, I would assume all these kids were born after
two thousand, both the replacements and remember the Titans was
early two thousands. Yeah, I mean, this is this is
the stuff people need to know. I feel like.
Speaker 3: I wish I do wish like we had like a
circular camera that caught everybody's reaction whenever he like let
us know that he didn't know what we were talking about.
And the disappointment not only in his face but everybody
around us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't want to fail us.
Speaker 3: He did.
Speaker 2: He didn't want to disappoint us, but he did.
Speaker 3: But he did, just as long as he makes up
for it when they go to Clemson in a couple
of weeks.
Speaker 2: But you know what, it was just an idle threat
that I made that I would hop off the nustbus
if he didn't know it. I'm still on it, I'm
driving it. I'm saying all aboard to too, let's going like.
Speaker 3: That's not And I told him and he said, wouldn't like,
just just blow smoke for enough, my this man next
to me, And it didn't matter. Like you go back
to when Max Johnson was the starting quarterback, early days
of Jadeen being the starting quarterback, when Nus would come
in and make a play We're in a group chat
and we were going to get the bus gif Jeff,
whatever you want to call I call it Jiff. You
probably call it Giff. I don't care, but we would
get that from you. It'd be the one the monster.
Speaker 2: Trancer truck school bus.
Speaker 3: That was running over every car.
Speaker 2: Right, yes, yep, yeah, I've said this. I've told this
story before. It was his first year at LSU. I
went and watched one of the scrimmages in Tiger Stadium.
I can't remember if it was spring. I think it
was training camp. I was there to watch another young quarterback. Yeah,
I was, you know, a high draft pick. I wanted
to go see him throw. I wanted to go just
you know, there's a lot of hype with him. I
wanted to go see him. And so I was watching
the scrimmag It's like, all right, good throw, good throw.
I was like, all right, I see it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But then I was like but and then it's like
turned my head like one and I was like, but
who's that guy? Hey, that guy is making throws that
are special. That are that is that is different. It
looks a little bit different. It looks confident, it looks
a little bit cocky. When he throws the ball, he's
thrown it into windows that young quarterbacks shouldn't be able
to throw. Make those throws and make those reads. He's
throwing it based on defenses, leverage, on where guys should
be getting to that aren't there yet, because a lot
of times, especially as young quarterbacks, you're like, all right,
I'm gonna throw it when I know I can complete it.
So I see him open, I make the throw. And
in college you can get away with that. At the
next level you can't. You got to get throw guys open.
You gotta throw guys before they get open. And he
was doing those things at a very young age. Of course,
there's learning curves with that. You throw, you do, throw interceptions,
you do. You got this little kind of gunslinger mentality.
Mistakes happen with that. And I'm not comparing him as
a quarterback right now or yet. I'm just comparing him
as like play styles. I've always compared him to his
style of play in his mindset and the arm talent
to a Matthew Stafford when he was at Georgia, because
Matthew Stafford was a guy that at Georgia when he
started could make all the throws. He had a great
arm and everybody knew it. But you know what else,
he knew it as well. So he would try to
do a little bit risky things. He would try to
fit holes or fit throws in the holes that he
shouldn't be doing. But he would do it into Cover
three a lot, and not the real Cover three. I'm
talking about triple coverage. We call that, we'd call that
Cover three. He did that, but he learned and he
progressed and he got better. That is what makes Garrett
so much better because he has improved and taken what
he does well and started to eliminate those mistakes. And
he said it right here, what's the thing I gotta
work on. I gotta fix the turnovers. So all the
things that you do well, you have to sell scout.
You got to say, what have I not done well?
Turnovers was the first thing that he said. So we
know that's on his mind. We know that is something
they're focused on and just excited get this thing started
with them, but not excited about the mocks and thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you can tell LSU very well represented here.
I mean I'm getting text messages as we're sitting here
doing the show of people that are interviewing wit Weeks
right now, and they're like, this is a great representation
of LSU. This kid is incredible and it's so good
to have, you know, guys like that here for LSU
representing the school. And hopefully maybe today we can catch
up with wit Weeks. But we will step away now.
