Speaker 3: Yo, and welcome in to OTB. We are not in

as we'll be here every single Thursday during the football
season that LSU has a home game, and they've got
a big home game coming up this weekend inside of
Tiger Stadium against the Florida Gators. Of course, Pro Dreams
here at thirty nine thirty Burbank Drive in Baton Rouge,
brand new shop sports memorabilia as you can see if you're.
Speaker 2: Watching us on YouTube, all over this place.
Speaker 3: Glad to be back here, Glad to be back in
the shadows of Tiger Stadium, getting ready for well, it's
Gator Week. It's Gator Hater Week all day, every day,
well not just this week, I mean every day. Three
sixty five twenty four to seven, it's Gator Hater time,
but certainly this week when they're coming into town and
you can already start to feel a nice little buzz
in the air with Florida coming to town.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the woke up this morning, got started
driving in and what a lot of people on the
road when I was driving in.
Speaker 2: But the closer I got to tell.
Speaker 4: Us, you you you start to feel it. It feels
a little bit like a big game day. So we're
here at Pro Dreams just checking out all the cool memorabilia.
I know this place is going to be popping on Saturday, starting.
Speaker 2: Early too, starting early all week.
Speaker 4: And you know, every single week on this show is
Gator Hater week. We hate them with a passion. We
don't like them. They stink, and we hope that every
single year we just beat them down. We hope that
all the recruits to commit from them after the game.
We hope that their program goes to shambles. Yeah, actually no,
we don't hope that. We want them to always have
a decent program. So this game is always big.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you know, actually this game in this series,
it doesn't it hasn't mattered in the past like good
or bad, like there's always still something weird. Remember LSU
was a twenty one point dog on the road when
they beat Florida with Kaid your kidding the field goal
and the fog that we didn't really know if that
thing went in. I just watched one. Yeah, there were
three touchdown dog that day. I had no idea when
you had the cleat thrown for you know, the cleat
went twenty yards, the penalty was fifteen yards. But I
remember not being able to see the field goal go in.
I just I watched Gordy and I watched Gordy's reaction
because he was on the mic obviously on the sideline,
and I was like, okay, if he celebrates, that means
LSU made the kick because I couldn't see it go in.
Speaker 4: Yep, I know, well the shoe the shoe throw, Hey
did did that guy that?
Speaker 2: Who's the guy last week for them? That spit? I'll
just see what a player was. But yeah, we had
another spitting.
Speaker 4: Did he get like is there any There's gotta be
some sort of retribution, right, I don't know, chat.
Speaker 2: Let's know he gets suspended.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I just remember like comparing it to the
Jalen Carter situation with the egos, I'm like, what are
we doing out here?
Speaker 2: Spitting? Yeah, what are we doing?
Speaker 4: Like his Florida guys when that spills a lot nastier too, Yeah,
in the face, it spows like spread out.
Speaker 3: Spray, like if somebody spits on you in like everyday life,
you're fighting to like to the very end, like to
the end until you can't pick your arms up anymore.
I mean we're old, like, I don't know that we
can really do any damage, but we're.
Speaker 2: Gonna swing until we can't pick our arms up anymore.
Speaker 4: Elders kind of hurt too, I don't know. Spitting yeah,
I mean so like like in football field.
Speaker 3: I guess it's like you get mad about it, but
we're not talking after the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The the one in the NFL, the Jaalen Carter one
that was that was more and and not to like
excuse anything from me. It was like some little friend.
It was some banter going back and forth. Certainly some hate,
but it wasn't like an emotional reaction. It was like
a h I'm gonna spit on your shirt type deal.
The Florida one was like nasty, yeah, that was. That
was the type of yeah, we got it, like the
whole team.
Speaker 3: Like, let's but look, look, let's not act like that's
not who.
Speaker 4: Florida is and who they've been. Yep, in my in
my mind, that's how all of them are.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, I'm probably some great guys, even you Chris Doring.
We're throwing you into this conversation this week.
Speaker 4: But I do want to know because like the what
did you think of the the punishment that came down
from the NFL on Jaalen Carter, Like that was pretty
shocking to me that with so many I balls on
that situation that they don't make any some sort of
example and you've got like there's.
Speaker 2: Some fifty seven thousand Jaylen Carter, yeah, something like that.
Speaker 4: And they they they considered the game that he get
kicked out of.
Speaker 2: As his suspendsision because I mean he didn't play, yeah.
Speaker 4: Before the first play, well, you know, all the all
the conspiracy theorists can certainly come out and play because
of course everyone's going to say that he's playing because
guess who they played this weekend?
Speaker 2: The Chiefs.
Speaker 3: The Chiefs, that's right, So yeah, because they're not they're
playing in Kansas City, right because I believe Yeah, because
Temple and Oklahoma are playing in their stadium on Saturday
Classic matchup. Look, we had tales oldest time. We had
Temple's head coach on off campus yesterday. This man is
ready to go. He's played as a head coach. Now,
he's all different levels, like he's been at else he's
been at Yes, he's been a Delaware, he's been at
Sam Houston, he's been a Vision III. This man has
coached in nine National Championship games at different levels over
a thirty year period.
Speaker 2: Nine.
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't look, I don't care what
level it is. You had the same level players when
you went to it. I'm like, all right, Temple A right,
two and up, I'll see you.
Speaker 2: What's there? Who? Who they did? I don't know, but
this man had me fired up.
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, good for you, all right, Geometerier, you
better bring it Temple that was coming into Philly. I'm
telling you, I know, like what, I still don't get it.
I don't get it. I don't get it. How many
people do you think will be there? Hundreds, one hundred
and tens of hundreds. Now, I don't know I mean, I.
Speaker 2: Don't know what temple.
Speaker 3: I'm sure Oklahoma fans are like, hey, when are we
going to go to a Philly again? I got my
saying like, I don't I don't you know, I've only
been to Philly to either cover a game or play game.
Speaker 2: I don't know what's bringing you to Philly.
Speaker 3: And if the Eagles aren't there that weekend, I guess
you know, it would make sense if the Eagles were there,
because then it hurts played at Oklahoma. You know what
I'm saying, Like you like, hey, let's just stay over
for Sunday. Yeah, we'll reach, We'll go to the Eagles game.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: It's like LSU, like, uh, let's see who were going
to play scheduling. I don't know, Wazoo and Cincinnati because
Burrow plays there, Yes, Rutgers, somebody, somebody weird, some weird
opponent because Joe Burrow plays in Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: So I think we uh, you go play Maryland? Maryland?
Yeah for Jayden Daniels. Yep. Love that.
Speaker 3: I was Look, I'm just trying to I'm not saying
they went to there for that reason.
Speaker 2: Yep. I'm saying they could.
Speaker 3: If you're a fan, you'd be like, Hey, we can
go to this game, and also we could have seen
maybe Jalen Hurts play. Like, I don't know. I just
talked to the coach and he fired me up yesterday
he's he said, look, and this is on air.
Speaker 2: He goes, I.
Speaker 3: Bet seventy five percent of their coaches are working on Temple,
he said, but twenty five percent of them they're working
on Auburn right now. They ain't worried about us. It's
like all of us are worried about Oklahoma. Kind of
called him out a little bit. What's the line?
Speaker 4: A lot too, A little We're taking them damn right
when you said the coach said, I'm betting seventy five.
Speaker 2: I bet seventy five.
Speaker 4: Before you finish your sentence, I was like, oh, he
bet seventy five bucks.
Speaker 3: No, the coach, Yeah, the coach, you know, the coach,
and I bet seventy five dollars. I'm gonna look at
the line though, because I feel like with his words,
I don't know, and I know I'm not drinking out
of a Planter Peanuts bottle here. This is actually a
back to the future coffee mug chat. So it's got
the hoverboard as the handle back to the future too,
to be exact. Part two, yeah, Part two with the hoverboard, Yeah,
because it had to be part two because the hoverboard
was not in one.
Speaker 2: It was not.
Speaker 3: And then three was in the West, which was a decision,
and we know what what the purpose of that was.
Speaker 2: Yep, all right, let's find this line on this game.
What do you think it is?
Speaker 4: Oklahoma Temple, Oklahoma's got a little juice to them right now,
I'm going to say, and it is.
Speaker 2: Seven, No, seventeen and a half.
Speaker 3: Twenty one and a half. Are the Owls going to
find themselves on the pontoon parlay?
Speaker 4: They might just because of what you said about a
coach about seventy five dollars.
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you this coach he had confidence and
they are too.
Speaker 4: A no, I'm just you know, like a lot of energy,
like a gruff energy. Was he polished.
Speaker 3: He was polished, He had energy, He had confidence, He
wasn't afraid to say what was on his mind. Like
he called them out saying in their building, they're not
worried about.
Speaker 2: Us, We're worried only about them. That was probably fair.
It's always good not to get coach speak, okay, but
they also.
Speaker 4: There's one person that is one hundred percent focus on them,
and that's John Mattier.
Speaker 2: That's fair, That is fair.
Speaker 4: So they don't have a John Mattier on the Temple
Owls right, Probably not.
Speaker 2: He's on the Clumbus Sooners. Yeah, I probably don't have
one of those.
Speaker 4: I would say that it's going to be difficult to
put them on that pontoon parlay. But whatever it is,
it's going to win because we never we've never once
as a group lost two part pontoon parlays in a row.
That's true, that's we've never done it. So we lost
this past weekend. Hey, handing there, my pick didn't hit.
Should have a lot of bets. What's a bad beat?
It was a bad beat. There was some coaches. There's
obviously some coaches putting some money on some stuff. I mean,
Lane talked about it.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: After the game, I told you one of my bold
predictions for the season, my OTB turnover chain wearing bold predictions,
that some coach is going to get investigated this year.
Speaker 2: I don't know who it's going to be.
Speaker 4: I would say, let's take a look at that old
miss Kentucky game this past weekend, just because I had
to pick and it lost.
Speaker 2: Yeah you did. I don't think that matters.
Speaker 3: Apparently the Florida player all he had to do was
apologize to the public and then also personally to the
South Florida player and no decision yet on any other
disciplinary actions.
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you chat.
Speaker 4: I would think that that would probably be a situation
where Napier would have to look in the mirror and
decide what kind of coach he wants to be and
discipline that got himself.
Speaker 3: Look sure, like he realizes too, Like his job is
like yeah, sure, really every couple of weeks. But uh, look,
bring what you want, bring them all, bring them all,
you want all of them all, y'all, everybody, y'all come play, everybody,
come play.
Speaker 2: You don't have to go to class extra practice.
Speaker 3: Man, if if you play for LSU and you're not
fired up this week after what happened last year, after
you beat the hell out of them in every single
way outside of the scoreboard, and then you protecting your
quarterback Like we went over the stats on Monday, you
like doubled them up almost in everything, and you didn't
take advantage of your opportunities.
Speaker 2: You didn't make the plays when you had to.
Speaker 3: If you win that game, you go to the SEC
championship game, think about that, Think about where you could
have gone if you win that game, because you finished strong, right,
you finished strong after like and you beat Oklahoma and
you beat Vanderbilt. If you win that game, you're in Atlanta.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: Things happen for a reason, and who knows, like if
they would have had Hey, we got to go spend
it on this roster.
Speaker 2: Let's go spend eighteen million dollars.
Speaker 3: Who knows if they have that feeling if they go
to the championship game last year.
Speaker 2: But as a player, like you don't care about all that.
Speaker 3: You just care about Like Florida beat you, and they
celebrated the hell out of it right in front of you,
and they're coming to your place.
Speaker 2: I don't care who they lost to. I don't care
if they lost to Long Island and.
Speaker 3: South Florida leading into this game, like it's orange and blue.
It's this ugly helmet that's sitting in front of me,
that's signed by who, Timothy Tbow. I'm gonna smudge that autograph. Yeah, sorry, sorry,
I just sat down and it was in front of me,
and I just said, I can't do it. I can't
have this in front of me. And I know it's
it's you know, the two helmets. They got a Colyde.
Speaker 2: I got it. Just couldn't have its too close to me.
That's fine by me. You know. It kind of like
made my skin crawl, like my across my legs. I
got a winning record against that ugly helmet. That's fair,
I get it. You do two. I think you three
and two.
Speaker 4: Just because we whip that ass doesn't mean I like them.
I can be by but fourteen. Sorry, I shoot, I'm
so sorry.
Speaker 2: I forgot my rage for Florida. I know, I get it.
I get it, and I understand it, and it's all right.
Speaker 4: Hey, we do want to as a group here wish
our guy Taylor a happy birthday, even though we don't
like him right now.
Speaker 3: Even though he did eliminate both of our teams already
from his little NFL bachelor situation. Yeah, this little list
that he has, Yeah Titans on there, and he eliminates
one of the most storied franchises in the NFL in
Green Bay, the best uniforms in the NFL, and the Chargers,
and he still got the Titans, young quarterbacks that have
very likable in the public eye. Yeah, yeah, no problems,
no issues, great teammates, no one ever said he was smart.
Speaker 2: Yeah, congratulations on getting to the birthday.
Speaker 4: This year, and congratulations on making making two enemies and
then twenty three when he doesn't pick the Saints as
his team with a lunger.

half Cashrie Clara Hoeni, from players to legends, Hester and
Flynn breakdown LSU football like only champions can Cashrie Clark.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in It is ot b here
Live o Location pro Dreams thirty nine thirty Burbank Drive.
Getting ready for LSU Florida coming to.
Speaker 2: Town this year.
Speaker 3: Always always, always a very exciting game, but of course
when LSU is the number three team in the country,
it's always going to heighten it just a little bit.
And again you can't worry about Florida losing to South
Florida last week. Man, this is a very very important game,
certainly for LSU. You get this one and then you
get an FCS opponent coming into your building, so you
get another opportunity to continue to develop, continue.
Speaker 2: To get better.
Speaker 3: And as we all know, once the SEC plays, play
starts and you you know, you don't have these non
conference games, what kind of work that is going to be.
But this one right here, you got a revenge factor.
You got to I hate you factor. Uh, you've got
a chance for Tiger Stadium to kind of show out
a little bit. And Brian Kelly, obviously this week he
kind of challenged every fan. He challenged him, Hey, all right,
this is the best place in the country. That's what
our resume says. But we need to go show that
to everybody because you know, the first game. But the
first game, actually, I mean, for being non conference, campus
was facked at the beginning of the game.
Speaker 2: Losing a tech crowd was great.
Speaker 3: But he's like, that's you know, that's good, it's good,
but that's not what we're talking about when we say
opponents' dreams come here to die. Like, let's make it
on bear for the Florida Gators. And so Brian Kelly,
the head coach, challenged every l s U fan. Look,
I got to work the game, so I'm not gonna
be like accept the challenge and I got to work.
Speaker 2: I'm going to be at the game. I'd be at
the game, an I know.
Speaker 3: I don't think Chris Blair wants me doing Keke Stands.
I not love the type.
Speaker 2: Are you doing Keke Stands?
Speaker 4: We'll see see if it means a win or lose,
then yes, I will bring the Kelly challenged me absolutely.
But this is you know, we talked about we hit
on this yesterday a little bit, but we spent an
entire offseason because of our opener, the season opener. We
spent an entire offseason arguing back and forth and people
all over the country arguing back and forth, who is
the real Death Valley. Well, we've proven which one is
the fake one, so we have to prove ourselves that
this is truly the place. So and we got to
let people know why it is Death val why opponent's
dreams come here to die. And like Jake said, this
was it was pretty good this past week and there
was a lot of people on campus, but it wasn't
really you know, it was it was like the warm
up right, it was the warm up before this week.
So last week it was the first game of the season.
Everybody's ready to tailgate, everybody's ready to party a little bit.
Speaker 2: Get together for a game day.
Speaker 4: We weren't really there to make Louisiana Tech's life hell.
This week is that week when we come and we
show out. We have a good time, but we are there.
The fans are there for a reason, and that is
to make it hard on the opponent. That is the
reason why it's called Death Valley is because we go
out there for purpose, and we go out there and
make it hard for the opposing team, and we get
loud because the louder it is, the harder it is.
So we got to warm up him. Yeah, it's time
to stretch a little bit, just some calisthenics. Get ready
because this is game day for every single person has
a ticket that's going to scan that ticket, walk in,
find your seat, and want you find your seat, lock
in and I want you to be there from the
moment they walk out in those stupid uniforms, those ugly colors, and.
Speaker 3: They probably try to stomp on the eye of the
tiger who they are, right.
Speaker 2: And they're all in Ah.
Speaker 4: They're all in a line and they're you know, they're
right over left ready stretch and they clap and they're
stretching out on the line. They have their pre their
pregame warm up. That is when we got to start.
And then from then on it's four hours of hell yeah,
it's four hours of giving it everything you got. When
you go to work on Monday, I want you to
not have a voice. I don't want you to be
able to do if you're if you're a talker, I
don't want you to be able to do your job
very well on Monday.
Speaker 2: What about us? Well us? Yeah, I don't know. Maybe Horse,
you have to talk, you can't yell. Yeah, I'd love
for you to be Horse. I mean that you did
your part.
Speaker 4: I am. I'm going to be my kids. I'll be
disappointed to them that will get grounded if they're not yelling.
Speaker 2: Landing inside the VYU four chats.
Speaker 3: That huge reason I hate Florida is they sued my
high school, Santa Mont back in twenty twelve because our
logos apparently were too similar. Why are they worried about
a high school in Louisiana.
Speaker 2: Bush League, Yeah, it is gonna Bush League.
Speaker 3: I think they did the same thing landing to Captain
Shreve and shrevept they're also the Gators, and I'm pretty
sure where they Captain Shreve. So they had the script
like this, ugly, gross cursive, just bubble lettered script. I'm
pretty sure they had the same thing right here, and
they made them get rid of it too. So you
should probably worry more about winning football games and not
which high school is using your ugly logo. But I'm
pretty sure they made them do that same thing. Look
at that ugly signature just here we go.
Speaker 2: I'm looking it up it.
Speaker 4: I see this little picture right here, and all fairness
does look like the Florida gat.
Speaker 3: That's fine, it doesn't matter. I mean, how many schools
in Louisiana use the tiger head.
Speaker 4: The current gator for Santa Ma does not look anything
like the Florida Gator, but the old one kind of
pretty close.
Speaker 2: Pretty close? You side with Florida here?
Speaker 4: No, I'm not. I'm just saying it does look pretty close.
I think Florida might have stole it from them, but
who cares? I mean, why is Florida I worried about it?
Is our point? Yeah, because they're because because they're dumb. Honestly,
it's only only explanation I can have because they're the worst.
They're the worst type of type of person.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: With Florida losing last week, they do you think that,
like does that change like your thought process?
Speaker 2: Like, I know, are you? Are you? Is that? Is
that a worry for you?
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about the coaches, but like just you know,
eighteen to twenty two year olds and they see them
lose to South Florida. Ye, now South Florida's got two
ranged wins. Nobody else in the country has that.
Speaker 2: It makes me? Does it make me worried?
Speaker 4: No, because I know that we have a really good
coaching staff is going to do everything, do all the
right things to get a team ready. The only thing
that like, so we want a big matchup as a
fan base, we want a big matchup like Florida coming
in early in the season, it's usually this game is
a big game.
Speaker 2: It's usually not this early.
Speaker 4: And you would have expected both teams to come in,
you know, after lsub Clemson, you would expect both teams
to come in undefeated.
Speaker 2: But they're not.
Speaker 4: And the only thing that would worry me a little bit,
like if Florida took out of business and DJ Lagway
had been looking really good and they had, you know,
won a lot too, a little against against South Florida.
There's nothing that a coach needs to say to an
LSU team when that happens. Now, you just said it
eighteen to twenty two year olds. There's a subconscious in there.
Every one of us has it that you can't control that,
there's an energy about you that it comes along.
Speaker 2: We talked about it last week.
Speaker 4: It's just impossible to get as intense subconsciously for Louisiana
Tech then it was a Clemson.
Speaker 2: That's just human nature.
Speaker 4: Like you can say all the right things, you can
do all the right things, you can do the exact
same steps as you did the week before in preparation.
There's just something in you that is it just comes.
Like like we said, the feel of the air around
Tiger Stadium is different this week than it was last week. Now,
if a team just has struggled a versus a on paper,
a lesser opponent like they are now, I think maybe
the subconscious takes.
Speaker 2: Over a little bit.
Speaker 4: But you can overcome that because it's Florida because of
the recent loss that you took last like there's still
but there might have to be some the coaches kind
of have to probably point in the right direction. They
got to say the right things. The coaches talk is
at as a premium this week when if they would
have taken him out, if Florida would have won like
they should have in commanding fashion and it was both
two teams at.
Speaker 2: Two and zero, it would have been nothing they need
to say.
Speaker 3: It would have been probably number three versus number eleven.
Speaker 2: Maybe you never can game day might have been here.
Speaker 4: Yep, there's no words that Brian Kelly needs to say
right now. You got to coach a little bit more.
You got to speak. You have to motivate and be
like I don't care. You got to say I don't
care about the game. Get South Florida, throw it out
the table. That's not that's not the Florida Gators.
Speaker 3: They're a talented team and you have to like convince
your team that they are.
Speaker 2: I still like, so.
Speaker 3: I know that's been a long time like since obviously
like we played Florida, we hate Florida, but like you
talk to people that played before us, they hate Florida.
You talk to people that played after us, they hate Florida.
I still think this, like this group of players has
the same feeling towards Florida as most of us do.
Like you go back and you watch what was that
twenty twenty three, like with Jayden Dan When is Jason
Jayden's Heisman game?
Speaker 2: Like Jaden won the Heisman against Florida. That was the moment. Yeah,
I thought so.
Speaker 3: I mean he had an eighty five yard run where
nobody could catch him.
Speaker 2: Like that group hated Florida.
Speaker 3: So like when we start talking about permanent opponents and
we start talking about like who's LSU's rival, and look,
I understand like what the Alabama game is and it's
a cash cow. I get all of that, and for
a long time, it's like it was the best of
the best, like the most NFL people in the field.
Speaker 2: I get all of that.
Speaker 3: But like you tell us in just someing, like I
hate you, you hate me, Let's go fight for sixty
minutes and give everything that we have because I just
I can't stand your colors. There's something about your face
like that's it's Florida for like a large group of
LSU players, And I still think inside that building.
Speaker 2: That's still the same feeling. Yep.
Speaker 4: Like after the game, we'll meet in the middlement and
I'll shake your hand, but because I have to kind
of situation, not because I like respect her like I
want to, but it's like it's just the common courtesy.
You meet on the field and I shake your Like
a lot of opponents, You're like, man, House, you'll play great, man,
what a great game. I feel like the Florida game
is kind of like i'mna shake your hand because cameras
are on.
Speaker 2: That's about it. You were you ever like that? Oh? Yeah? Absolutely?
Are you ever like that after a flag football game?
After a flag football game? No? Not really.
Speaker 3: I mean maybe like maybe the referee or something. I
might be like you need to go like to the
corner of it. You need to take no. No, a
flight football game. No, I'm just kiddou No, I just
shake their hands. Like flag football games, you kind of
forget about it, like once you start eating dinner as
you get home, you know, or you.
Speaker 2: Get in it and the loss you don't forget that
or you.
Speaker 4: Get it's like you took it. You could take a
loss or something. And first thing that has said in
the car. What's for dinner? Yeah, ah, yep, next yeah,
next thing in life. Yeah, not not Florida, not Florida. No,
It's like, can I can I just.
Speaker 3: Go straight to the locker room and not have to
say anything to these funeral yep?
Speaker 4: After the seven game and we win, and I run
to the field and I go and I see T
bow and TBO was emotional. Of course, it was emotional game.
And you know, I knew that he had put everything
he had into it. Yeah, and you know you you
don't you don't feel bad for that, but like you
you respect that effort. But there was also a pretty
deep sense of joy as well to see the see
the gators hurting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a big sense of joy. I was. I really enjoyed.
Speaker 3: The h every bit of it, uh Blake Miller inside

Speaker 4: Parlay because he liked their coach's personality.
Speaker 2: Right, Sometimes you gotta do it. Sometimes you go off vibes.
Sometimes it's a complete vibe check. That's what that is.
Speaker 3: All right, We will step away, we'll get this thing started.
When we come back, we'll continue to break down LSU

if you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So go to go flowiv dot com.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, you kinda know I'm not just
some guy when it comes to hydration, a kind of
the king of hydration.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's you know, self given.
Speaker 4: But yeah, so picture this like you know, professional athlete,
a collegiate athlete, a high octane athlete likes to preload
their hydration before something starts, right before they do something
that's about to severely dehydrate themselves.
Speaker 2: M hm. Well, Tiger fans, Brian Kelly called you up.
He did.
Speaker 3: He wants you to do something that might may or
may not severely dehydrate you, so you gotta be proactive
about it.
Speaker 4: Go see him at go Flow, get hydrated, get vitamized,
whatever you need.
Speaker 2: Go all right.
Speaker 3: We do have a little injury update on Braylin more So,
this is on Louisiana Sports dot Net. Hunt has a
write up on it, and Brian Kelly talked about you
know where he's at right now and the quote is
I think we have him listed as probable. If not,
maybe I'll double check. Maybe he's questionable. But he did
practice and this was on Tuesday, and expected him to
practice yesterday, which I believe he did as well. So
it does feel like he's at least trending in the
right direction.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Again, like with with kind of an ankle situation, it's
like are you going to have the strength? The mobility
is not really a concern when you play center, but
it's like do you have the strength?
Speaker 2: Can you anchor can you put weight on it? Right?
Speaker 3: Is it going to be a situation where it's so
weak and if they push you back, you're not going
to be able to reset yourself.
Speaker 2: Right. We was talking about that on the offensive line.
Speaker 3: So you know, having DJ Chester's great because again that
was your starting center all year a year ago. The
other four guys got drafted, right, So it's a talented
offensive line and you do have him available.
Speaker 2: So but there's a.
Speaker 3: Reason Brayden Moore was a starter. Yeah, and there's a reason,
like he won that job in camp. There's a reason
why you got him from Virginia Tech, and so like,
while you have a good backup situation still the backup.
Speaker 4: Yep, And you want to starter, and if you're starting
to practice and you give him the benefit of the doubt,
that's why he's your starter. And if he can do
everything that he needs to and gets the all clear.
But I don't think it takes a genius to have
to explain to somebody that's never played football that when
you have really big, strong guys you're trying to stop
from prevent from doing something.
Speaker 2: You probably.
Speaker 4: If your ankle hurts, if your leg hurts, of whatever hurts,
you need to be at a pretty good health level
to be able to do that. Now they can brace
you up, they can stabilize. But I would expect and
pass protection at least on if he goes and he's
and if he's started early on in the game, probably
not putting him on put a do a pass protection
where you're putting him on an island and blocking one
on one, maybe a lot of three man or four
man slides to got to give somebody next to him
shoulder to shoulder with him, because it just as he
feels it out.
Speaker 2: You just don't want a guy that's nursing an injury.
A little bit. You would hate to get him lined up, and.
Speaker 4: The guards, you know, fan out, the tackles fan out,
and he's sitting there blocking somebody one on one as
he's testing out his ankle. You'd rather get a little
little all right, let's just push the right side, let's
let's isolate our left tackle on the defensive end, and
let's just slide everybody one way or the other and
get shoulder to shoulder here and try to clog up
some gaps.
Speaker 2: So uh yeah, it'll be a little feeling out process.
Speaker 4: But like you said, man, he's the starting center for
a reason, so you give him the benefit of the data.
If he can go and he can fight through some pain,
and they can. There's a lot of cool things they
can do with tape embraces, and I mean we talked
about DJ Lagway playing with a with a their band
or as a hamstringer a hamstring.
Speaker 2: With a band.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we always we had that too. I had I
had a pull D hamstring one time and they put
that band on me. I was like, this is pretty great. Yeah,
Like can you do this when I'm healthy? Is it
made me faster? So you're somebody that had a high ankle.
We talked about that yesterday and you did actually miss
a game. Now, if it wasn't Middle Tennessee State.
Speaker 2: Do you play I don't know, maybe maybe not absolutly.
You know, you feel good about that.
Speaker 4: That's a pretty severe Mine was a pretty pretty severe situation.
Speaker 3: Right, So what like what can you do to try
to help, like you brace it up, like.
Speaker 2: Do you get a little in there, like you.
Speaker 4: Know, like yeah, so so doctor artHis talked about it
yesterday about high ankles. Like sometimes it's not even the
pain with something like that, it's the stability.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: It's like I didn't feel stable on my leg like
it was when I it would it felt like it
would shift when I had it. Now when it shifted
it it hurt like.
Speaker 2: Heck yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: And so but you can you can get a little
to get that pain away, but the stability part. Yeah,
but that like I said, that brace and I'm sure,
I mean this is Jake.
Speaker 2: It's been eighteen years. Yeah, eighteen years. You think they've
had some technology.
Speaker 4: They might have had some technology investments at the time.
Speaker 3: It was like the state of the art brace that
Maruccio fat state of the art brace. They sell it
probably Walmart.
Speaker 2: There's no doubt.
Speaker 4: They were talking about this and because I remember when
they ordered it for me, they because they had to,
like they take a mold bank and everything, and they're
talking about like, man, this is gonna be amazing. This
might look like stainless steel, titanium, spaceship.
Speaker 2: Type stuff right here.
Speaker 4: And it got into just like a clear piece of plastic,
looked like a it looked like a milk jug plastic. Yeah,
And I was like, that's it. Yep, that's the thing.
That's it. Sure is, And I'm.
Speaker 2: Sure they got some Uh there's a few advancements in
the brace.
Speaker 4: Game, yeah, but I mean there's only so many, so
many things you could do.
Speaker 3: But if you look if he's already practicing, that's a
pretty grit sign. Yeah, if he's practicing early in the week,
Like if he didn't practice on Tuesday, was kind of
a little bit of an individual on Wednesday and maybe
we'll full gold on Thursday, then you start to worry
about if he's practiced on Tuesday Wednesday, Yep, like they
feel like he's going to give them.
Speaker 2: That's pretty wild too, for sure.
Speaker 4: Like a high ankle sprain, like there's a lot of
soreness that comes with that because there's I mean, there's
trauma to that area. There's a lot of inflammation, and
like I remember mine, mine was there was actually a
crack in the bone right so that I can't remember
if it was a phibia, tivvy or whatever it is,
but there was a crack and that was the definition.
It's not it's not considered a broken bone. It's considered
a high ankle sprain. Right, high ankle air quote sprain
covers a lot of different things, but the fact that
he was praicing three days after after it was injured
is pretty pretty wild to me. I wasn't even like
thinking about walking on it three days after my heart mind,
but I was probably not tough, just kidding.
Speaker 3: I mean seven seven times in that I wanted to
say just that, but you said it for me. All Right,
We'll take your break more OTV when we come back here.
Pro Dreams off the Bench Pools dot com. That's website

Speaker 2: Shot up leasure Track.
Speaker 3: I feel so.
Speaker 1: Two thousand and seven Champs Purple and Gold to the core.
This is off the bench with Hester and Flynn Baton
Rouges go to for all things Louisiana sports.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in It is ot B here
live from Pro Dreams thirty nine thirty Burbank Drive in
Baton Rouge, right here next to the O G. Walk
ons Uh. I will be here this weekend. Come hang out.
We'll be watching College Game Day this gigantic TV in
front of us. You can't see it, but you can
see it if you come hang out with me on
Saturday again. I'll be here, I believe ten until eleven
thirty watching College Game Day, hanging out.
Speaker 2: So come hang out with us. What do you think
it's a ninety five inchure. I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's big. It's a big fellow. I didn't even know
they made TV's this big. Yeah, I'm sure you probably
have one bigger in your house. Can't have money. I
got a five entre right now, LSU, the line opened
up at minus eight and a half for your Tigers
went down to seven and a half. So open up
at eight and a half has gone down to seven
and a half. And also like minus seven and a
half is minus one oh five.
Speaker 2: So not even not even even on the spread there now.
Speaker 3: ESPN's Matchup Predictor gives LSU a sixty one point six
percent chance to win the game.
Speaker 2: And again like spreads or spreads, But I wonder what.
Speaker 3: Made Vegas take it down a full point for l
Shu's injury update. It's like, you know, I mean, if
you watched the game last week, trade as Green was
always going to be very difficult to get back into
this game, but with the Braidler more injury news, like,
that's actually it sounds.
Speaker 2: Like it's a positive. So a little bit surprised by that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would if I was a betting man, which
I kind of aim sometimes, I would bet that that
I might might tick up a little bit get some
late money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess that. I guess you could make the
argument that not neither team l.
Speaker 4: SU or Florida looked very good this past week. They
Florida ran into a little bit more of a matchup problem,
more of a little bit a better team, a little
much better team. Yeah, neither teams. So but I you know,
playing a LSU playing at home obviously a huge advantage
for US. Yeah, it's surprising to me that the the
line's moving towards Florida, and especially at minus one of
five for seven and a half.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 3: And how about how about like a line like this,
So Clemson and Georgia Tech are playing each other. That
thing opened up at minus seven and a half for Clemson.
Speaker 2: I actually think it got up to nine and a half.
Are you serious?
Speaker 3: It got up to nine and a half. It's down
to two and a half right now. It opened up
this week. It opened up interesting at six and a half.
It's been seven and a half. Got up to nine
and a half during the build up to the game,
like it. So what we're talking about a couple weeks ago?
And but now, all right, Georgia Tech, let's go two
and a half only for Clemson. It should have been
that to begin with. Like, if you got it at
nine and a half, good for you, Good for you?
Speaker 2: For you.
Speaker 3: I can't confirm or deny if I got it at
that number.
Speaker 2: Did you? I can't confirm nor deny. I just can't
do it. You did you? Son of a gun? I
wish I did that.
Speaker 3: Would When you get a line like that, it makes
you want to like, go, go grab a couple of
ice cold do seqis? You're like, man, I need to
celebrate this. I need to celebrate the victories. I need
to have a good time. I need to pull the
ice chest over here. I have a couple ice cold
dose sekis. And speaking of doing that, I mean this
weekend tailgating detail gate right going to be fired up
turned up to an eleven. Whenever you're putting everything in

cold do sekis. Just a little pro tip there, a
little bit of line when we come back wen you
