  Speaker 5: hand because of the national championship.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.

  Speaker 5: started arguing, and well we lost the argument. The guy's
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: just turned the whole the lights off to the whole field.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: And uh, Kyle Williams, I've never seen him like real mad,

• 9:52
  Speaker 5: lights out right now and make it dark with me

• 10:06
  Speaker 2: condescending and like, guy, like you were like I know,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: until you get it on the field, but like we

  Speaker 2: were pretty fired up. Yeah, so what a big ill
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: that guy's And he's very witty too, so I can
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: imagine what he was saying to him. So we needless
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: to say, our arguments were futile. LSU football Tigers in
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: a real softball team two thousand and three took an
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: l that day due to forfeiture for being five minutes late,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: and then we got beating the semi finals that year.

  Speaker 4: We always play the same team.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: We always ran into that damn team that I swear
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: they were putting racquetballs in the barrels of their bad
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: like I'd be was like I was at center field,
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: and like I would be sitting there playing the same team,
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: and I would just.
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: They'd hit the ball and I'd run to the fence
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: and I.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: Would just like look up at it and it was
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: still like forty feet over my head and I could
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: hear going, Yeah.

• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all like every year that I played to the
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: same team, and.
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure it was the guys that worked.

  Speaker 5: It was it was it was the intermural that worked,
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: the innermural fields. It was hard as that made us

• 19:07
  Speaker 4: Did flynn know?
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: THIS i actually.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: Did we were talking about it. Before, okay because uh
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: this this is not a opinion THAT i made up.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: MYSELF i was listening to the show on the way
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: in here and they said that The pelicans did something.
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: DUMB i don't know if that's.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: True all, Right so, okay so they Draft Jeremiah fears
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: out Of oklahoma with their original seventh pick that they,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: had and a lot of people are hoping that they,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: get you, know better than seven because of how their record.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Was but that's sometimes the draft.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Lottery but then you packaged the pick that you had
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: later on in this draft with next year's first round,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: pick and you move up to Select Derek queen out Of. Maryland,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Now Derek queen's a very athletic Big Derek. Queen it's
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: a really good basketball. Player Derek queen was one that
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: got really hot at the end of the year last,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: year made a run With maryland as one of the
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: better players in the country by the end of last.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Year but now you don't have any first round picks
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. Six you gotta be good this year
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: because if you end up making the, playoffs then that's
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: not a lottery. Pick, okay, whatever it's THE. Nba once
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: you get past the, lottery who the hell. Knows that's
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: just the way THE nba draft. Is but you had
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: to Love queen a lot to get rid of your
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: picks for next.
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: Year it just reeks of this. Guy we have him
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: graded as a top five guy or a top eight. Guy,
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: yeah and nobody else is seeing it but.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: Us so you make that move to move up ten
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: places to give up your chance for a high lottery next,
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: year which is What i'm hearing is a much better
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: last next.
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: Year it is this.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Class this class was very top. Heavy BUT i will say,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: This queen's a really good basketball. Player he's still a
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: little bit, wrong but he is a very athletic BIG
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: i think for, me like the one thing That i've
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: got a question is do you think you're going to
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: be good next?
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: YEAR i think you do.
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: THIS i think after this, move you better make the playoffs.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: To do, this and it's.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Unprotected that's the thing that's a little bit. Surprising so
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: you move up to. THIRTEEN espn Dot com Had queen
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: as the fourteenth ranked player in this, draft so like
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: where he was, drafted it makes. Sense and if it
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: was your only picking a, DRAFT i don't think anybody
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: would say. Anything but it's because you moved up ten
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: spots you give up next year to select somebody who
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: he's listed as a. Sinner he's six', nine now it's
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: two hundred and forty, eight pounds and he's every bit.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Of it BUT like, i said he is a little.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: Bit wrong is a potential play more.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: Than anything not a great, Defender either like he, could score.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: He didn't have, A, length yeah not to not to
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: play you know the position that he's going to try.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: To.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Play now he's got the, athletic ABILITY but i don't
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: know that he has. The lenk.
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: He's more of the wing, the four which, Is fine
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: LIKE eve mesi actually.
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: Wanted to be a pretty. Good pick he was.
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: Twenty, one, like sure he'll probably be. Your center you
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: can get a, six nine six to ten guy on,
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: the wing like he can. SHOOT it i just worry about.
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: His defense it's like you don't really have a defender,
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: out there like With With murray hurt for the, Foreseeable
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: future like you don't really have a guy out there
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: that can play a lot.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Of defense the one thing that that makes me a
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: little bit Nervous whenever i'm breaking down the pick and
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: kind of going to seeing, you know what the bio
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: kind of look like according to some of the, different
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: EXPERTS because i did watch him play and he's a very,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: good PLAYER as, i SAID like i can see the.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Skill set he a little bit of a, tweener before,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: you know between a four and. A five but every
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: draft PROFILE that i looked at, it, said like improving
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: his conditioning will help him on the.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: Defensive end so he's lazy and as someone.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Who breaks Down, the pelicans Watches, the, pelicans right you've
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: you've got a situation we always talk About with zion
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: and staying healthy and keeping his weight down and being. In,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: shape like, oh no that's the one thing like you
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: really didn't want to see on a. Draft profile, was
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: like if he can improve, his conditioning his defense will.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Go, up.
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah THAT is, i mean it doesn't matter what sport.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: It is if that's part of, your profile the way people,
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: VIEW you i mean that's usually it's going to mean
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: that he's been a little immature and lazy to. This
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: point now that can, always flip that, could change, but
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: yeah it was always you don't want to have that.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: Stig money if he can, get in if he can
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: be in, better shape if he can, you know drop.
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: Some what but if whatever, it is it's uh and
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: that's usually a pretty big. Red flag but like to
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: move up and, take him like like, YOU said espn
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: had himranked to, The fourteenth we took him to.
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: The Thirteenth, pat hey this like you see it in.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: All drafts it doesn't matter what sport.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: It is is general managers scouts they DON'T always i
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: mean they don't really LOOK at espn what whatever Side
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: of they don't look. AT that i think they probably.
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: Compare it i'm sure, they're there, especially nowadays they're way
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: more aware of it they than.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: They. WERE sure, I mean i, don't know there's that
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: clip back in. The day who the Hell Is male
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: kuiper from the colt.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: To, right yeah but like they're going to put their
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: grades on every single individual person from the first round
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: to the last round whatever. It is like, WE like
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: i remember after AFTER the nfl drafts, our year it
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: was afterwards you got your agent would start, telling you,
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: all right you Know the panthers had you had a fourth, Round,
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: Grade yeah patriots had you at a six.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: Or seven these guys had you as an.
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: Undrafted guy like everybody has, their grades and then the
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: first different forty times on you because at, the combine
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: because they trusted their guy at the, finish line which
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: is the stupidest thing in. The world i'm gonna trust
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: my guy that's like forty five. Rows up, they, do though.
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: They do everybody has Their, little stopwise, it's, like hey
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: there's actual laser beams that are timing.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: These things, but.
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: Anyway like this just says At the pelicans scouts they put,
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: a Grade and i'm sure in the first round there's
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: like it's way. More detailed they probably had a grade that, was,
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: like hey this guy's, you know a five.
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: To eight guy. For, us yeah and if we can
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: get them, at thirteen we make.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: The move and that's that's really the only REASONING that
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: i would see behind it is like he just at
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: that spot. For them based on their pre, draft grades
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: he was way he was getting picked. Way, too, wait
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: yeah they had him much higher.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Than fourteen we'll Break Down jeremiah fears you Get, from
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: oklahoma he is probably going to start out the season
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: as you're starting point Guard, BECAUSE murray, i mean that's,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: you know an injury that's going to take.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: Some time he will not be there for the start of.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: The season, of course You Have jose alvarado there as
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: your backup, point Guard but fears is going to be
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: your starting POINT guard i would assume to start. The
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: season best ball handler probably in. This draft will break
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: his pick down a little bit.
• 26:27

  Speaker 8: and some guy by the Name of berkman TOOK over
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: lsu in nineteen eighty six and or, EIGHTY five i,
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: Should SAY and i, was, LIKE man i, don't KNOW
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: because i WAS considering Lsu at ole Miss Or, mississippi
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: state and then all of, A sudden, i said you,
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: Know what i'm gonna get, This guy berkman, a chance,
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: you know and he was to The College little series
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: in my senior you, Know, what okay this guy might end. Up,
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: Being okay i'm. Gonna GO but i to ask you.
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: A question i don't KNOW if i saw. THIS coming
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: i take you back TO when lsu won his first,
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: national title and the Belief Of skip berkman and what
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: he instilled in all of us and the guys would
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: come even, after me was we're supposed To And louis
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: garcia on the dog PILE and lsu won his first
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: national title in, ninety one look At, coach, burma, said coach.
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: We won we, Finally Won And coach burtman simply Looked
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: At louis garcia, And, said louis we're supposed. To win
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: and that was the mindset that began back then and
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: If skip berman calls our years the building, block years
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: it was a building block years to what would eventually
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: come down. The road, but look it's, so hard as you, guys,
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: know man and, you know there's been, this DEBATE and
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: i brought this up and people looked at them sideways Back, at,
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: omaha say, you KNOW if lsu wins their eighth, national
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: title are we going to start TALKING about lsu that's
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: the greatest program in the last, Forty years because, that's
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: easy like that's a. Done deal but maybe the greatest
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: program in the history of. College baseball and that's a
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: MOUTHFUL because usc has twelve. Of THEM but usc won
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: a level of their, twelve titles, you know back, forty
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: well actually stick to here seventy years ago as one
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: of the majority. OF them ki they've only won one
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: national title in the last. FORTY years lsu had eighth
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: in the last. Forty years but when you consider the
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: big picture of putting fannies in the seats and the
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: stadiums that have been built because Of, skip BERTMAN and
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: i don't think he gets. Enough credit people around here
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: know who, he is But skip bertman is. College baseball
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: he's the one that began all this that you see
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: now in these great cathedrals in college baseball around, the
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: country people come. To ballparks it Was because skip's had
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: a vision on what college baseball. Could be if you,
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: you know if you go ahead and you, built it
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: you could have put a good product on. The field
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: this is kind of what it, would be. You Know
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: and i'm so Happy For jay johnson and and what
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: he's been able to accomplish in a time that's so
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: difficult to win, right now and you win two national
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: titles in, three, years man two since he's been THERE
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: at lsu in. Four years it's a it's a it's a,
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: yeoman's job. You know And And bill frankie has reminded
• 32:21
  Speaker 8: me of this the. Other day, He, said ben, he
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: said you told me when We Hired ja JOHNSON that
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: lsu would win two national titles in the next. Five
• 32:29
  Speaker 8: YEARS and i had ACTUALLY forgotten i told. Him THAT
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: but I knew jay way back when he Was.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: With.
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: Arizona man and it's it's Y'all Know nick staban obviously,
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: really well and that's who.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: This Is It's, nick.
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: Saban like is what. IT is i never Played, for
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: NICK but i heard the stories and talk to you guys.
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: About it but This Is, jay, johnson man this is what.
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: HE does.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: I agree with.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: You Wholeheartedly like i've said the SAME thing, i said,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: you know playing Four. COACH saban I told jay this
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: not two. WEEKS ago i, was, like coach you're the
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: closest Thing To nick saban've ever seen in. Any sport
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: and you're exactly right There In, jay Johnson somebody i've
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: known all the way back when he was an Assistant
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: at University Of san diego and just continues to. Impress
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: me but what you SAID about lsu being the best
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: baseball program of, ALL time i completely agree, with you
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: not because, we're biased but because when you look at
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: what they've done and when they've. Done it because there's
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: so many teams and so many schools now that are
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: heavily invested. In baseball, you know there was a time
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: where it. Was regional it was in, the southeast it
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: was In. Southern california that's who really cared. About, It,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: now ben there's a lot of people that care. ABOUT
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: it i mean it's across. The country there. Is Programs
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: The big ten has programs that care. About it we
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: never thought that we'd really see That the, big TWELVE
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: the SEC and acc, of course but you know it's
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: no longer just The big West. OUT west, i mean
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: there's Teams in Oregon And oregon state that really care about.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: College baseball so, for me that's what makes LSU's run
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: over the last thirty five years forty years so impressive
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: is because the buy in from everybody else and they
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: still continue.
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: To, thrive no that's that's one hundred. PERCENT correct, i
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: Mean and i'm not taking anything Away From, rod dado who,
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: you know won those CHAMPIONSHIPS. At usc but there was
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: a time back in those days where if you were
• 34:11
  Speaker 8: any good as a, ball player that's kind of where.
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: You went, you know you Went Out, west coast You
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: Played west. Coast baseball that's where all the studs came
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: from back in. Those days but the pair did. The,
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: game now like you, said that people investing in these
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: awesome stadiums and you got the nil stuff, going on
• 34:25
  Speaker 8: and you got a lot of stuff. Going, on man
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: nobody can make the argument to me that it's not
• 34:29
  Speaker 8: twice as hard to win one of the last forty
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: years as what it was the previous. Forty years, you
• 34:33
  Speaker 8: know it's just it's a lot harder, to win and
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: so TO ce lsu doing what. They're, Doing man and
• 34:38
  Speaker 8: we don't say this like, you said because we PLAYED
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: at lsu and WE. Love lsu you say it because what,
• 34:42
  Speaker 8: YOU see, i mean you, see it, you know you
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: see eight national titles and, you, Go, wow man it's
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: hard to believe it's happened. Like, this, Look man i'm
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: so happy That coach bergman. Was there he flew in to.
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: See it you guys probably saw HIM. On TV and
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: i was so glad that he flew in to, see that.
• 34:56
  Speaker 8: You know and so it's a hell of, a. Run
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: man and expectations are always what they ARE, at lsu
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: and to go out and Get, to omaha that's always,
• 35:03
  Speaker 8: the goal and. To WIN and I, think lsu now
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: guys has been in, the finals have played the championship
• 35:08
  Speaker 8: game nine times Out. In omaha in the history of,
• 35:10
  Speaker 8: the program they wanted. EIGHT times i think that speaks
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: volumes to if you, get there we're, gonna win and
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: we know how. To win and the ones that it
• 35:17
  Speaker 8: came before us. One before so there's no. Reason why
• 35:20
  Speaker 8: because somebody asked me that on another show the, other
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: day what is IT? About lsu what is it about
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: them Going to omaha? AND winning, i said it's. A
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: belief it's been instilled in these kids that they're supposed
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: to and you're supposed. To win when you GET to
• 35:33
  Speaker 8: lsu and there's a belief that, you can, you know And,
• 35:35
  Speaker 8: YOU yeah i hate to see the Meltdown. FROM arkansas
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: i Felt like, arkansas had, you know honestly as good
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: or better team THAN what. Lsu did but the best
• 35:43
  Speaker 8: team don't, always, Win man it's a team that plays,
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: the best, And boy arkansas just unfortunately melted down in that.
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: One ending BUT give lsu credit for putting pressure on
• 35:51
  Speaker 8: them and forcing Those Unforced arizona arkansas to win a
• 35:54
  Speaker 8: national championship and get There against coastal who had a
• 35:57
  Speaker 8: hell of. A, TEAM man, I mean coastal could. Really
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: PITCH but lsu was, just. Better dude they were just
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: better Than what. Coastal.
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: Was yeah been hearing you Talk.

• 36:45
  Speaker 5: know we want TO celebrate lsu and talk. About That
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: But jay johnson's job? Going forward what is what's the

• 37:20
  Speaker 8: MANY things i Love. About jay He's embraced He's Embraced.
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: Skip bertman he's embraced. The history, and again this IS what.
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: I love jay understands, the history and more important, than
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: that he wants his players to know the history of
• 37:34
  Speaker 8: this program and, the blood, the sweat and the tears
• 37:36
  Speaker 8: that went into all this to get to. That point,
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: you know that's the Difference Between. Jay johnson i'm not
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: gonna mention any other coaches that COACH, at lsu but
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: others didn't embrace the HISTORY of Lsu Like jay. Johnson
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: did he didn't try to run and be his. Own
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: man He Embraced skip bertman And What skip, bertman built,
• 37:53
  Speaker 8: you know and the best potential to me is Always
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: WE and i love the fact That did jay Talk
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: to skip after every. Weekend series they would get together
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: for lunch every week On, a tuesday and they would
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: talk about what happened, that weekend what was going to
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: happen the. Next weekend he would bump things Off. The
• 38:09
  Speaker 8: skip he'd gather information anything. He could And so jay
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: has embraced the Legacy Of skip BURTON and i tried
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: to be his own guy in a lot. Of ways although,
• 38:18
  Speaker 8: He is he's done it a little bit, different way
• 38:20
  Speaker 8: and he's getting his. Dude now but if, you know
• 38:22
  Speaker 8: to answer your question about WHAT does ja need to,
• 38:25
  Speaker 8: KEEP doing i think it's more of, the same. Stay
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: hungry like he is the hungriest Coach that i've. Ever seen,
• 38:29
  Speaker 8: and honestly when he won the FIRST and, i, said,
• 38:31
  Speaker 8: okay man, all Right now i'm going to find out

  Speaker 8: who this. Dude is because a lot, of guys, you
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: know win that, first one, they, Go okay i'm HERE
• 38:37
  Speaker 8: now i. WON one i could take a little tip
• 38:38
  Speaker 8: of the Time, off jay grab. Another. Gear guys i'm
• 38:41
  Speaker 8: telling you he went to a different place and he
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: wanted number two in a. Bad way and talking to
• 38:45
  Speaker 8: him those day after he won, number two it's like
• 38:47
  Speaker 8: he's already hungry for. Number three and it reminded Me
• 38:50
  Speaker 8: Of nick saban being on the phone when they Won
• 38:51
  Speaker 8: The national. Championship game he's on the phone that night. Calling,
• 38:54
  Speaker 8: recruits well, YOU know i was looking up the ride
• 38:57
  Speaker 8: back on the PLANE with lsu from omahall the other
• 39:00
  Speaker 8: DAY and i sat there And, watched JAY and i
• 39:02
  Speaker 8: sat there And Watched nate Yeskey And, josh jordan. The
• 39:04
  Speaker 8: coaches all they did was text and talk on the
• 39:08
  Speaker 8: phone to recruits and portal kids on the. Way back
• 39:10
  Speaker 8: they couldn't even enjoy. The day, AND look i love
• 39:13
  Speaker 8: That about jay and. His staff they're. So, HUNGRY look
• 39:16
  Speaker 8: I Think nate yesky's the best pitching coach in the
• 39:18
  Speaker 8: country than what he did this year is the best
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: team era. SINCE fifteen, i mean look at the Growth
• 39:22
  Speaker 8: Of kate anderson. And Others, JOSH jordan i think is
• 39:25
  Speaker 8: the best recruiting coordinator. Out there what they do this
• 39:28
  Speaker 8: is a hell of a, team guy not, just players
• 39:30
  Speaker 8: but the. Coaching staff, You, know scott we're hiring. You
• 39:33
  Speaker 8: KNOW and i Remember asking scott, five years four YEARS garus,
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: i said what was It About? JAY johnson i, knew
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: him but tell me what blew your? Doors off, He,
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: Said ben i've set In With, nick Say but i've
• 39:41
  Speaker 8: set in with a lot of other coaches. On interviews
• 39:44
  Speaker 8: it was the best COACHES interview i had ever been a.
• 39:48
  Speaker 8: Part of he said he had a, Game Plan jay.
• 39:50
  Speaker 8: Johnson did he walked into my office and told me
• 39:53
  Speaker 8: exactly how he was going to, do it and he
• 39:55
  Speaker 8: was going TO bring lsu back to the top of.
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: The mountain, he said that's exactly what, he did, he
• 39:58
  Speaker 8: said he just blew. My DOORS so i think it
• 40:00
  Speaker 8: speaks Volume of jay's hungry. To win as you, guys
• 40:04
  Speaker 8: know he has. No kids those boys on the field
• 40:06
  Speaker 8: of that purple, and gold those are. His kids he's
• 40:09
  Speaker 8: invested in them every day and he loves them both
• 40:11
  Speaker 8: on and off. The field he's growing them into young
• 40:13
  Speaker 8: men and hell of the ball. Players too and that's as,
• 40:16
  Speaker 8: a parent that's all you can. Ask FOR so i
• 40:18
  Speaker 8: think others will continue. To come and obviously the MORE success,
• 40:20
  Speaker 8: LSU has i think they'll have a leg up, on
• 40:23
  Speaker 8: recruiting ALTHOUGH the andil is going to be a different,
• 40:25
  Speaker 8: world now. You know but as you, guys KNOW but
• 40:28
  Speaker 8: i think it's going to be about getting. Players there
• 40:30
  Speaker 8: continue to develop guys and you do get them, on campus.
• 40:33
  Speaker 8: You know and so it's goning interesting to see what
• 40:35
  Speaker 8: next year brings because typically when you win a national championship,
• 40:38
  Speaker 8: in baseball the last five or six years there for the,
• 40:40
  Speaker 8: down year a Big Down church tennessee had a good a.
• 40:42
  Speaker 8: GOOD year, i mean it's a super regional. This year
• 40:44
  Speaker 8: but we Know about old Miss And missippi state where
• 40:47
  Speaker 8: they won their first so they kind of went off
• 40:48
  Speaker 8: the grid for a couple OF years lsu after they
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: wanted twenty three lost in a regional, you know the,
• 40:52
  Speaker 8: following year last year at. Twenty four so we'll see
• 40:54
  Speaker 8: how STRONG the lsu comes back next year and what
• 40:56
  Speaker 8: they can. Put together but we, know this the expectation
• 40:59
