Greg Sankey's Comments at SEC Spring Meetings - Off the Bench, May 28, 2025 · Off The Bench

0:01
Speaker 1: I'll start to you to present Off the Bench.
0:04
Speaker 2: This is what we have been waiting for Off the Bench.
0:09
Speaker 1: Now, here's Jacob Hester.
0:24
Speaker 3: Welcome in hour number three.
0:25
Speaker 4: Here on a Wednesday edition of Off the Bench. Taylor
0:30
Sharp here with you sitting in or Jacob Hester. He
0:34
is out at SEC Spring meetings, which we're going to
0:36
get into in a little bit. Greg Sanky took to
0:40
the mic actually yesterday to open things up at SEC
0:44
Spring meetings, and the guy had a lot to say.
0:46
To say the least, you know, the big topic of
0:48
conversation out there has been the changing in the college
0:51
ball playoff format and they're just gonna go with a
0:54
straight seating model instead of like conference jams, automatic qualifiers
0:58
like that sort of thing. So there's been a lot
1:00
of discussion on that. We'll play some audio from Greg
1:02
sank Is. He had quite a few things to say.
1:05
Speaker 5: Now.
1:06
Speaker 4: The thing about Greg is he started out so strong,
1:08
like he started talking about how people are complaining that
1:12
the SEC and the Big Ten want to ruin college
1:14
football because they're going to benefit from it, and it's
1:17
what's best for the SEC, not necessarily what's the best
1:20
for all of college football. And then he points out
1:22
that it hasn't benefited the SEC, and I kind of.
1:28
Speaker 3: Agree with him on that.
1:30
Speaker 4: Because you go look at the BCS. I mean, what
1:34
was it. It was seven straight national titles in the
1:37
BCS era, going from Florida in what six LSU and
1:42
seven back to Florida all the way through really until
1:46
Florida State beat Auburn in like twenty twelve, twenty thirteen
1:50
whenever that was.
1:51
Speaker 3: So it's it's always been the SEC.
1:57
Speaker 4: You saw it in the four team playoff, the SEC
1:59
did really well there as well. And then last year
2:02
in the twelfth team. The first year of the twelfth team,
2:04
the two teams playing for the national championship weren't even
2:07
in the SEC. And then a year before that it
2:11
was Michigan and Washington and neither of those teams in
2:13
the SEC. So I agreed with him on that. It's
2:19
just a bunch of things after that, which is what
2:22
he said. We'll play the audio on that in just
2:25
a few minutes. We were trying to get in touch
2:27
with Ross Jackson right now of locked on Saints.
2:31
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk to him for a little bit.
2:33
Speaker 4: But before we do that, you know, we were talking
2:36
about the Saints running. Oh, actually, I think we have
2:42
mister Raws Jackson. We do have Ross Jackson. All right,
2:44
let's bring in Ross Jackson right now of locked on
2:47
Saints also rights for us right here at Louisiana Sports
2:50
dot Net or else.
2:50
Speaker 6: How are you this morning, Hey, Budy, I'm doing great, great,
2:53
Thanks for your patience. Hope you're doing it well.
2:54
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, absolutely, thanks for the time. Look, man, we
2:57
have had internet issues for like two days, Like yesterday,
3:00
during the middle of the show, we completely lost internet.
3:02
The weather's been awful, Like I totally get it. That
3:05
is not on you, Legross. You know, OTAs are underway
3:09
for the New Orleans Saints. Then it goes just start
3:12
super broad here. You can take this whichever direction you want.
3:15
Maybe just your biggest overall takeaways from being out there
3:17
at OTAs.
3:18
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think the biggest thing that we're
3:21
of course watching is the quarterback competition, right, and so
3:24
I think as we're watching that, no decisions are going
3:27
to be made during OTAs, but you get the opportunity
3:30
to start to kind of see where the starting place
3:32
is and what the growth looks like after that. And
3:35
so we saw, you know, Spencer Ratler off to a
3:37
fast start, which makes sense, has more NFL experience technically
3:41
on a per play basis, also has more collegiate experience
3:45
than Tyler Shuck more than six hundred more snaps than
3:48
Tyler Shuck in college, more than three hundred additional passing
3:51
attempts as opposed to Tyler Shuck as compared to Tyler
3:54
Shuck in college. So you saw sort of the experience
3:57
of the operation getting in and out of the huddle,
3:59
being or on the offense, commanding the offense, making quick
4:02
and decisive and precise decisions as well. I think all
4:06
of that sort of stood out. I think the other
4:08
two kind of big takeaways would have been, you know,
4:12
taking a look at where things were with the offensive line,
4:15
seeing tarpor Penning moved to the inside, giving them Calvin
4:19
Banks and Telisaflong over on the outside at tackle. And
4:23
then you know, looking over at this kind of new
4:25
defensive scheme and where things are. But one last thing
4:29
I'll mentioned was just kind of the vibes, right, like,
4:31
some part of this too is not just about what
4:33
happens on the field, it's you know, what's the kind
4:35
of mood in the clubhouse, how's everybody feeling after a
4:38
five win season and all these other things. And I
4:40
would say that, like.
4:41
Speaker 7: The vibe of practice, the vibe.
4:43
Speaker 6: Of the building, the vibe of the locker room was very,
4:45
very different. One player telling me that they feel that
4:48
they're headed taking steps in the right direction with this
4:51
new coaching staff. So you can kind of feel a
4:53
little bit of the promise and optimism that should be
4:56
there at this point of the year.
4:58
Speaker 4: Wells, obviously there are players out there that'll stand out,
5:01
But as far as like maybe any negatives, was there
5:03
something you like thought was going to look a little
5:05
bit better.
5:06
Speaker 7: Than it has, I don't think so.
5:08
Speaker 6: I think that is one of those things that maybe
5:12
comes together a little bit more in training camp during
5:15
this time, what you're really seeing is like seven on
5:18
seven's at best, and then you're seeing, you know, individual
5:21
drills based on the position, maybe some walkthrough or run
5:26
game install and things like that. So there's not really
5:28
a lot of the opportunity to kind of put anything
5:31
under that under so much of a microscope that you
5:33
go to the critical.
5:34
Speaker 3: Side of it.
5:35
Speaker 6: I will say that, like the thanks having five players
5:38
that you know aren't available because of injury right now,
5:41
maybe could give people a little bit of pause. But
5:43
it's worth remembering that like two of those players, Staysom
5:46
Hill and Boston Morow, they're coming off of injuries from
5:49
last year. Quincy Riley's dealing with an injury right now
5:52
that was a post draft procedure, but something that pre
5:55
existed his selection, and really the only you know, and
5:59
Dollan Hulker is dealing with something that happened earlier in
6:01
the off season as well, or earlier you know, away
6:03
from the team, or not away from the team, but
6:05
you know, early in the off season. And then you
6:07
have Jake Hayner, who was injured in practice, dealing with
6:10
that oblique injury and he's probably going to be out
6:12
for OTAs, but nothing super severe. And the majority of
6:16
the things that they're dealing with are things that pre exists,
6:20
you know, OTAs, And so I think that even that
6:23
has a little bit of context that even if you
6:26
start to feel a little git concerned about it, has
6:28
some context that maybe makes you feel little bit better.
6:30
Speaker 4: Ross Earlier you were talking about Kevin I on Trevor
6:34
Penning obviously has moved to guard. Is something that a
6:36
lot of people have talked about, you know, with him
6:38
moving to guard that O line, you got Fuaga Banks,
6:41
you got Penning, Ruiz, Eric McCoy. How good could this
6:45
O line potentially be under this Kelli Moore scheme? Like,
6:48
could this be a strength for the team in twenty
6:49
twenty five?
6:50
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm glad that you brought up Kellen More in
6:52
that because I was going to say, I think that
6:53
that offensive line can be as can go as far
6:56
as the coaching will take it. I think that that's
6:58
the big thing about this. You can have if Trevor
7:01
Penning pans out at left guard, You've got four first
7:04
round picks and a first round grade guy in Eric
7:07
McCoy who just happened to fall into the Saints' lap
7:10
in the second round during his draft year. But as
7:13
a part of that and sort of figuring out where
7:16
this team can head next, it's really going to be
7:18
about how the scheme compliments the players and how the
7:21
coaching compliments the players.
7:23
Speaker 7: And I have I would have high.
7:25
Speaker 6: Hopes for that, you know, looking into where this is headed,
7:29
because I like the approach of the coaching staff is taking.
7:32
You know, I had a great conversation with TJ. Paganetti,
7:34
who's the Saints run game coordinator, kind of a new
7:37
position for the team, and he spoke a lot about
7:40
you know, I mean to put it frankly, one of
7:42
my favorite things that he said was we don't put
7:45
players in positions that suck. And I think that's just
7:48
as important part of the equation as the individual players
7:52
are is don't put them in bad situations and don't
7:54
put them in positions where you're asked them to do
7:56
something that maybe they struggle on that technique or maybe
7:59
they're not as successful there, or they could be doing
8:01
it a slightly different way, but you really want them
8:04
to do it this way, not getting married to those things.
8:06
So I think that the lack of ego amongst the
8:07
coaching staff in that way will allow them to be
8:10
able to better adjust things to compliment what it is
8:13
that that offensive line, whatever configuration it takes, but in particular,
8:16
if that's the configuration, just finding ways to better compliment
8:20
what it is that that configuration of offensive lineman can do,
8:24
it would be massive. And so that I think is
8:26
the other big piece to this as well, is you know,
8:30
what is the coaching staff going to ask them to
8:32
do and how well do they coach it up. How
8:33
do they coach it up? And then that's really going
8:35
to be the thing that raises or drops the ceiling
8:37
on what it is if these players are going to
8:39
be able to do regardless of the offensive line configuration.
8:43
Speaker 3: Ross Jackson joining us right now.
8:44
Speaker 4: Ross yesterday on louisianasports dot Net, you put up old
8:49
piece on Clyde Edwards Hilaire talking about, you know, his
8:51
chances of making the team. Can I broke down the
8:53
running back depth chart as well behind Alvin Kamara. What
8:56
are your thoughts on Clyde Like, can could he be
8:59
a weapon in this offense?
9:00
Speaker 2: Yeah?
9:01
Speaker 6: I think so. I mean he's one of those guys
9:03
that has like the versatility to kind of be able
9:06
to do everything. He can run between the tackles, he
9:08
can get outside the tackles, he can catch passes, and
9:10
he's a solid pass protector if nothing else, He's a
9:13
willing pass protector. It's going to be challenging for him,
9:17
just based on the fact that there are so many
9:19
running backs in that room right now, and so it's
9:22
an uphill climb no matter where you're starting in this situation.
9:26
But I think that those elements of his game and
9:30
then in addition to that the veteran experience that he brings.
9:33
He's the second most experienced running back going into his
9:37
sixth season, behind Alvin Kamara. I think that those things
9:41
all kind of compliment what it is that he should
9:44
be able to bring, or not necessarily compliment, but kind
9:46
of elevate what it is that he brings to this team.
9:49
And so I don't know if he makes it on
9:51
the active roster, I don't know if he makes up
9:53
on the practice squad, but I do give him a
9:55
pretty fair shot at being one of the fifty three
9:58
plus guys to end up making the roster. The big
10:02
question is going to be how many running backs they
10:04
keep on the active roster, because right now they don't
10:06
have a fullback rostered, So do they utilize that position
10:10
or that piece somewhere else that spot, or do they
10:13
intend to utilize that as a point of keeping a
10:16
fourth running back.
10:18
Speaker 7: It's going to be.
10:18
Speaker 6: Interesting to see how they utilize that, even if that
10:20
player is inactive on some games. But I do think
10:24
that he has a chance. If there's four running backs kept,
10:27
or if there's three running backs plus additional on the
10:29
practice body, he's got a chance. To make a swing
10:31
at one of those spots.
10:32
Speaker 4: Stink with the running back room, I mean you mentioned
10:35
the crowded the crowded room. Are you have Kamara, Edwards Hilaire,
10:38
you brought in Devin Neil and Marcus Yarns the rookies.
10:41
What does the future of Kendre Miller look like in
10:43
New Orleans?
10:44
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's an uphill climb for him too, Right,
10:46
That's one of those big things where you know, he
10:49
was drafted by a different coaching staff. He's had injury
10:53
issues that have kind of kept him off of the field,
10:55
and it's all been kind of different injuries, different things
10:59
and everything. So he's got an uphill climb, But he
11:02
also has a blank slate, which I think is helpful.
11:05
You know, you add Baylis Joan junior to that room,
11:07
as well as another veteran guy, Exvalidate, who was with
11:09
the team last year. Like, there's a lot of these
11:11
guys in this room, and so nobody is really walking
11:14
in to a roster spot in this room except for
11:18
Alvin Kamara. And then maybe you can make the argument
11:20
for Devin Neil since he was drafted by this coaching staff.
11:24
I also think Devin Neil is going to be a
11:25
good NFL player, so I would give him that roster
11:28
spot for that reason. But Kendre is going to have
11:31
an opportunity here to prove that kind of the perception
11:33
that's been built around him under that previous coaching staff.
11:38
You know, a team that was dealing with injury all
11:40
over the place and everything like that isn't really a
11:42
perception of him. It was sort of a perception of
11:45
his circumstance or his situation. He's got a real chance
11:47
to kind of change the course of that conversation here
11:49
this Austice, Well.
11:51
Speaker 4: I'll switching to the Dvinser a little bit. You were
11:53
talking about, you know, looking at the scheme under Brandon Staley.
11:55
But you know, a big, big topic of conversation has
11:58
been the same secondary because you know there are some
12:00
pieces you have to replace air What's what's that group kind.
12:02
Speaker 6: Of looked like, Yeah, I think on the defensive side
12:06
or defensive secondary with the corners, I think is kind
12:10
of where the biggest question mark is right now. I
12:12
think your safeties are going to be set in Tyron,
12:14
Matthew and Justin Reid. The question will become, you know,
12:17
who's that rotational safety that that maybe comes in for
12:20
dime sets and things like that. Does that remain Jordan
12:22
Howden or as a guy like Yona Sanker, who is
12:25
a part of this year's draft class, end up stepping
12:27
into that role. So be a little bit of a
12:29
battle of there. I think you'll you'll find. But when
12:32
it comes to corner right, you're having to replace Marshall
12:34
Attimore who was traded away last year. You having to
12:37
replace Paul Sinadibo who signed with the New York Jets
12:39
this offseason. So you've got kool Aid McKinstry as a
12:42
guy that I think is, you know, a lock in
12:44
one of your outside spots, and then Alante Taylor is
12:46
going to have a role maybe that's outside and base
12:49
packages and then moves inside it. Nickel will kind of
12:51
see how it is that that Brandon Saley decides to
12:53
use him. But I think keeping him maximized would be
12:57
keeping him in the slot in some way to where
12:59
he's allowed to be a disruptor as a pass rusher,
13:02
as a run defender in coverage, threatening at the line
13:04
of scrimmage, playing near a Liana scrimmage, all these other things.
13:07
So I think you want to find a way to
13:08
do that. So then that opens up sort of that
13:10
outside corner spot in at least in Nickel packages. And
13:15
so right now that's Isaac Adams Spott. He's the guy
13:17
that came back. He had a great twenty twenty three
13:20
with the team where the team was having to circumvent
13:22
injuries at the position, and he played really well. There
13:25
went off spent a year in San Francisco with the
13:28
forty nine ers where Brandon Staley, now New Orleans Saints
13:30
defensive coordinator, was the assistant head coach, and so those
13:34
two got some opportunity with one another. So now they
13:37
bring that back here to New Orleans. But now you've
13:39
got Quincy Riley, who you've also drafted out of Louisville,
13:42
who I think is a really talented player and is
13:44
going to be a starter at some point. I just
13:46
don't know if it's going to be week one. He's
13:47
one of the guys that's managing injury right now or
13:50
managing rehab right now, and so we'll see when he
13:53
gets back. But that's going to kind of be the
13:54
battle for that other spot, I believe, And so we'll
13:57
see where Quincy Riley ends upry. And then the other
14:01
name to watch isn't on the roster yet but could
14:03
be on the roster, and that's a Sante Samuel Jr.
14:05
Brandon Staley and Sante Samuel Junior go back to the
14:08
Chargers' days. Sante was part of Brandon Staley's first ever
14:11
draft class as a head coach. He's on the free
14:13
agent market. He had a neck procedure earlier this offseason,
14:17
set to be checked in July. If he's cleared from that,
14:19
I expect that the Saints, who have already had him
14:21
in for a visit, but at least shows some interest
14:24
there so you could see another player that gets added
14:26
to that sort of jumble and to that battle for
14:29
the Saint in their secondary well s.
14:30
Speaker 3: Before we get you out of here.
14:32
Speaker 4: As far as like what fans should keep an eye on,
14:34
obviously taking Kelvin Banks out of the equation, who appears
14:37
to be a Day one starter, Like, are there any
14:39
rookies out there to keep an eye on that you
14:40
think these guys could play early?
14:42
Speaker 6: Yeah, Danny Stutsman's just so much fun to watch all
14:44
the time. Man, the Oklahoma linebacker. He is just a
14:49
ball of energy, brings a lot of energy to a team,
14:52
all these other things, you know. On a show that
14:54
we did recently, former New Orleans States Squad receiver Lance
14:58
Moore mentioned that like there's no there's no year requirement
15:02
for leadership.
15:03
Speaker 3: You just kind of have to have the time on task.
15:05
Speaker 6: For sure, but you've also just have to have the
15:07
personality that people are willing to rally around. And his
15:09
personality is a personality that people are really to rally around,
15:13
and so I'd definitely be watching out for him. And
15:15
a guy that I think is going a little bit
15:17
under discussed right now is defensive tech tackle Vernon Broughton.
15:21
Him coming in, I think people were kind of surprised
15:23
because there were other defensive tackles on the board and everything.
15:25
But there's a connection here between Broughton and Bo Davis
15:28
saying defensive line coach. They work together over in Texas.
15:31
He's kind of getting the treatment of an early rotational
15:35
player that's playing at nose tackle, moving outside to three
15:38
four defensive end. He's kind of getting a lot of
15:39
these different opportunities. So he'd be another one number ninety
15:42
one that I'd be watching as well, just to kind
15:44
of see if he ends up turning into one of
15:46
the surprise contributors for a lot of people out of
15:49
this draft class because he's at this sort of un
15:51
sexy position and is the name that people aren't really
15:54
talking about very much.
15:55
Speaker 4: Ross Jackson, you can catch your stuff at Locked on
15:58
Saints as well as see his article right here at
16:00
Louisiana Sports dot net. Ross, thanks so much for the
16:03

Speaker 2: Thank you man.

16:06
Speaker 4: Appreciate your having absolutely that right there was Ross Jackson.
16:09

big family like me, You're getting home late, dishes, laundry, showers, whatever.
17:02
Speaker 8: You never run out.
17:03
Speaker 2: You don't have to wait, you don't have to try
17:05
to save that hot water because again, tankless never going
17:08
to run out. Athroom remodels all right there on the
17:10
home patents. You're plumbing at org again.
17:12
Speaker 3: Two T five.
17:15
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Off the Bench.
17:32
Speaker 4: Welcome back in nour number three here on a Wednesday
17:35
edition of Off the Bench. Thanks so much to Rawls
17:37
Jackson for hopping on with us, talking a little Saints
17:39
OTAs as there is just a ton of news coming
17:42
out of New Orleans all the time this week. Okay,
17:46
SEC Spring meetings currently taking place, which is where our
17:49
normal host Jay Kester is currently at. Look, we're gonna
17:53
we're gonna try to get some interviews that Jake did
17:56
sent back to us.
17:57
Speaker 3: We may play them tomorrow.
17:58
Speaker 4: Jacob may hope one I'll be in discussion with him
18:00
throughout the day, and you'll have to tune in tomorrow
18:03
to find out just how that looks. A little bit earlier,
18:06
I was talking about, you know, Greg Sankie him saying
18:09
the twelve team playoff didn't.
18:10
Speaker 3: Benefit the SEC. I agree.
18:13
Speaker 4: You know, we saw it with the BCS seven national
18:16
championships in the road for the SEC the four team playoff,
18:19
we saw it there as well. But the last year
18:21
of the fourteen playoff, it was Michigan in Washington. This
18:24
past year in the twelve team playoff, it was a
18:26
Notre Dame in Ohio State. None of those are SEC team.
18:29
So all this talk about, oh, well, you know the
18:31
new scheduling format in the twelve team playoff, like the
18:33
Big Ten and the SEC are only interested in improving
18:36
their conferences, not just all of college football. I think
18:39
Greg Sanki hit that on the nose in terms of, hey, look,
18:43
it's kind of always been this way with the SEC,
18:45
and the twelve team playoff didn't necessarily benefit us. Here's
18:49
where Sanki loses me though. We're gonna play this. This
18:53
is from Greg Sanki yesterday when he was talking about
18:58
what it takes to make the college football playoff.
19:01
Speaker 3: I was all on board until this radio.
19:03
Speaker 9: One of the things you learned is you're not going
19:05
to divorce your regular season schedule for college football playoff selection.
19:08
In fact, I think there's more of a feeling that
19:10
regular season scheduling is governed by college football playoff selection.
19:15
Witness the discontinuation of the series. This isn't critical of Troy.
19:19
It's critical of the reality that, hey, you can drop
19:22
a big series and it's not going to hurt you
19:25
come selection time. You have a team that played four
19:28
games against teams with six and six records last year
19:31
that got in. Another team didn't play really anybody at
19:33
the top of its conference was selected in, and it's
19:37
clear that not losing becomes in many ways more important
19:41
than beating the University of Georgia, which two of our
19:43
teams were left out. Nobody had that kind of quality win.
19:48
Speaker 4: First off, Alondra, could you chill with the typing whenever gradual?
19:53
Speaker 5: Is all I got from that video is somebody is
19:56
tygorously tight, like very aggressive in that clip. But that
20:01
sounds like T Bob in the mornings, like when I
20:03
used to walk in here. T Bob Clay like that,
20:07
Oh my god, that is all I got out that clip.
20:10
Speaker 4: I just thought it was funny, like people in the
20:12
car probably like who's type? He really No, that was
20:15
on the actual audio clip that we played. Somebody in
20:18
there doing their job a little bit too aggressive. But
20:22
I'm gonna kind of reiterate what Greg sank said right there,
20:24
because I just think he's off base with this. Greg
20:28
SANKI said, it's clear that losing becomes in many ways
20:32
more important than beating the University of Georgia, which two
20:35
of our teams that were left out did.
20:38
Speaker 3: That's true.
20:39
Speaker 4: Look Alabama, Ole Miss, South Carolina, they were left out,
20:43
Bama and Georgia. I mean Bama and Ole Miss, boat
20:45
took down Georgia. Obviously he's referring to teams like an Indiana,
20:50
like an SMU. But you know what would to help
20:54
those teams get in not losing three regular season games
20:57
to crappy teams. Alabama beat Georgia, sure, a twenty four
21:02
to seventeen lost to Tennessee, who made it to the
21:04
College Football Playoff but didn't do much there. Gave up
21:08
forty points to Vanderbilt and a forty to thirty five
21:11
loss Varnerbilt wound up not being that great.
21:14
Speaker 3: I remember that.
21:15
Speaker 4: And then they go on the road to Norman and
21:17
get stamped twenty four to three to the Oklahoma Sooners,
21:20
who had trouble adjusting to the SEC in year one.
21:23
I remember they weren't that great either. Sure, Alabama beat Georgia,
21:27
but you gave up forty points to Vanderbilt, who lost
21:30
what five games this year? Oklahoma was a middle of
21:32
the road team. You lost twenty four to three to them.
21:35
Couldn't even score a touchdown in that game. And then
21:38
let's go to Ole Miss. They beat Georgia, but you
21:41
know what else they did. They lost twenty to seventeen
21:43
to an awful Kentucky team. They lost at LSU in
21:48
overtime twenty nine, twenty six. Maybe if they take that game,
21:52
their fortunes are a little bit different. And then a
21:54
twenty four to seventeen lost to Florida, who's also worse
21:57
than Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Florida. Three of all Miss losses,
22:01
none of those teams were in the College Football Playoff
22:02
this past year. Maybe don't lose three games. Rebels did
22:06
beat Georgia twenty eight to ten, but your season. You
22:09
should look at the season as a whole, not just
22:11
beating the University of Georgia. How about South Carolina, who
22:14
I actually thought was the best of the three teams
22:16
that were ultimately left out. They played really well down
22:19
the stretch, They beat Clemson, they did a good job
22:22
at the end of the season. They lose early in
22:24
the season to LSU at home thirty six thirty three.
22:27
How was the game that LSU escaped in? South Carolina
22:30
had LSU on the ropes and just refused to win
22:33
that game. Every single factor win against the Tigers in
22:36
the game, and somehow LSU still came away with.
22:40
Speaker 3: That's a game you should have won. Again.
22:42
Speaker 4: LSU good team last year, not a college football playoff team.
22:47
So you could say, okay, well, South Carolina had a
22:49
good win against LSU, they didn't even play Georgia, and
22:52
I thought that they were playing the best out of
22:54
them Ole Miss and Alabama at the end of the year.
22:57
But it's hard to justify putting South Carona in when
23:01
they lost head to head twenty seven to three to
23:03
two Old Miss and twenty seven to twenty five to Alabama.
23:07
So bad losses for Bama and Ole Miss, Florida, Kentucky
23:12
for Old Miss, Vandy, and Oklahoma for Alabama.
23:16
Speaker 3: South Carolina doesn't have a bad loss.
23:18
Speaker 4: Their losses are three points to LSU, you lose to
23:21
Ole Miss, who was in the playoff conversation. You lose
23:24
to Alabama by two points, who was in the playoff conversation.
23:27
So they definitely had the best resume as far as
23:29
bad losses. But can you really put in South Carolina
23:32
when they lost head to head to Ole Miss and Alabama.
23:36
I get what Greg Sinkie's trying to say. What Greg
23:38
Sankie's trying to say is strength of schedule no longer matters.
23:41
Speaker 3: And I agree with that.
23:41
Speaker 4: I don't think strength of schedule does matter anymore with
23:44
the college football playoff, especially now where they're just gonna
23:46
go street seating. As far as ranking teams in the
23:49
top twelve, it's just gonna go straight one through twelve.
23:51
Speaker 3: I agree with that.
23:53
Speaker 4: But let's not act like beating Georgia was held against
23:56
these teams.
23:57
Speaker 3: It was not.
23:58
Speaker 4: Beating Georgia is what put these teams in the conversation.
24:01
There was a multiple things you could have done. You
24:04
could have not lost three games. If you're Alabama. You
24:06
could have not given up forty to Vandy. You could
24:09
have not gotten your butt kick twenty four to three
24:11
to a bad Oklahoma team. And if you're Ole Miss,
24:14
you cannot lose to Florida and Kentucky.
24:16
Speaker 3: You can't do it.
24:19
Speaker 4: And you went on the road and lost the game
24:20
to LSU and overtime you win that game. Maybe your
24:23
fortunes are a little bit different. But how about not
24:27
losing to bad teams? Maybe maybe not losing to bad
24:31
teams would have helped Alabama, Ole Miss in South Carolina
24:33
get into the College Football Playoff. Now, Orbama, ole Miss,
24:38
and South Carolina better than Indiana SMU. Maybe I would
24:41
even venture to say probably. But putting a team in
24:44
because you believe they're better is so biased and subjective.
24:48
I remember when this college football Playoff was put together,
24:51
the common phrase use was settle it on the field.
24:54
How can you do that if these teams don't get
24:56
an opportunity? How can you say settle it on the field?
24:58
And you look past on field performances you say, oh, well,
25:02
Alabama and Ole Miss they have two bad losses, they've
25:05
lost three games. Hey, but they beat the University of Georgia,
25:07
and Georgia is pretty good. Let's throw out the rest
25:10
of their season, the rest of their results, for all
25:12
their games. They beat the University of Georgia, they should
25:14
be in the College Football Playoff. If that's the case,
25:17
why are you playing the other eleven games on your schedule?
25:19
Just go play Georgia. If you beat them, you're in
25:21
the College Football Playoff. If you don't, sorry, you're going home.
25:23
You're watching the College Football Playoff on the couch. I
25:26
get what Sinkie's trying to say. But to say that, oh,
25:29
not losing is more important than beating the University of Georgia,
25:32
He's right to an extent. Alabama and ole Miss don't
25:35
lose the crappy teams. If South Carolina beats one of
25:39
ole Miss and Alabama, they get it. These teams did
25:42
it to themselves. It was nothing about oh well, poor us,
25:45
we play in the SEZ. South Carolina didn't have to
25:48
play Georgia.
25:51
Speaker 3: I mean it.
25:51
Speaker 4: They had a pretty easy path. All they had to
25:54
do was beat one of ole Miss in Alabama. They
25:55
couldn't do it. So sorry, not sorry, Greg, it is
25:59
what it is. Don't don't complain about having a tough
26:04
schedule in the SEC. Because the SEC does have tough schedule.
26:07
Teams that Ole miss and Alabama lost to, we're not
26:09
tough teams.
26:10
Speaker 3: All right.
26:11
Speaker 4: Look, we're going to take a quick time out when
26:12
we get back. Doug Thompson, former LSU pitcher, also does
26:16
the color on the baseball broadcast with the voice of
26:18
the Tigers, Chris Blair. Doug's gonna hop on with us
26:21
next for a little s LSU regional preview that's coming up.

27:44
Speaker 4: Welcome back in hour number three here on a Wednesday
27:46
edition of Off the Bench.
27:47
Speaker 3: Just two more segments.
27:48
Speaker 4: Laugh, I want to go a little bit back to
27:51
LSU baseball.
27:52
Speaker 3: Right now.
27:53
Speaker 4: Doug Thompson, former LSU Tiger pitcher. You can also hear
27:56
him on the broadcast with the Voice of the Tigers
28:00
is a blayer. Doug joins us right now, Doug, how
28:01
are you this morning?
28:03
Speaker 6: Doing well?
28:03
Speaker 7: How you guys doing today?
28:04
Speaker 3: We are doing good? Dog, You're you're on the call
28:07
this weekend? Right?
28:08
Speaker 7: I will be well. Actually have a three man booth.
28:11
It'll be myself, Chris and the one and only Buzzy Hidel.
28:17
Speaker 3: What a what a trio that is?
28:20
Speaker 1: Doug.
28:21
Speaker 4: Let's get into it here a little bit. You know,
28:23
when the NCAA Tournament was announced, everyone talked about how
28:27
much they loved LSU's draw here in the regional, that
28:30
being paired with the Clemson Regional. So if the Tigers
28:33
get through that, they would host the Super in Baton Rouge.
28:36
How favorable do you think LSU's draw is in this tournament?
28:41
Speaker 7: I don't really agree really with that that that it's
28:46
that stay real. I mean, Arkansas State, you know, it's
28:49
kind of a shocking team to enter. I mean, it's
28:51
it's a great story, it could be a could be
28:53
a thirty one thirty. How they went, they lost thirteen
28:55
to the last fourteen. It'sent win the conference tournament. So
28:59
you know, I would say that, you know they're the
29:03
weakest team, but you start looking into that their ace
29:05
is coming back this week. He threw lights out last week.
29:10
And they have a bunch of seniors and red shirt
29:12
juniors on their lineup. So I know the guys, not
29:17
only you know coach j Johnson, his staff, I know
29:20
they're not taking them lightly. Regardless of what the general
29:24
population consensus is on how great they are. They don't
29:28
hit it well, they have it, pitched it well, but
29:30
again they lost their guy and he's back now. And
29:33
then given this other Rhode Island team, you know they
29:36
could swing it too. They hit three ten on the season.
29:40
Of course not the SEC, I get it right, but
29:42
still they hit three ten on the season. They've they've
29:45
got three four guys with double digit home runs, and
29:49
of course we all know Dallas Baptist is a bugaboo
29:52
and certainly can swing the bat. They've got some big arms,
29:57
including a former Tiger in the mix there. So look,
30:01
postseason baseball in college is awesome. It's fun to watch
30:05
because you never really know what's gonna happen. Yes, I
30:09
think that, I guess there could have been worst teams
30:12
and worse straws and you no, I do not think
30:16
it's the toughest regional. But you can't take anyone lightly
30:20
these days, with the transfer portal and the ability for
30:24
these smaller programs to literally roll out, you know, nine
30:29
guys over twenty three years old into the field and
30:32
then have a couple of those guys coming out of
30:34
the bulletin on the mount, So you really can't. You
30:37
got to play every game like it's going to be
30:39
a one run battle.
30:40
Speaker 4: In my opinion, obviously you were talking about Jackson Wells
30:44
as the ace for Little Rock. Let's say Lsue does
30:47
get by a Little Rock, It'll either be Dallas Baptist
30:50
or Rhode Island will be the next opponent. Who do
30:52
you think is a tougher matchup for the Tigers?
30:55
Speaker 7: Like I said, I mean, well, I think Dallas Baptist
30:57
is the tougher matchup. But they both hit. They both
31:01
have some dudes with some homers, a couple of dudes
31:04
even close to twenty homers, I believe, if I remember correctly,
31:07
I guess I'd prefer to play Rhode Island with that
31:10
six point two oh t e R. But you know,
31:14
both teams will be formidable in game two, which uh
31:18
and probably Game three as well, right so, which I
31:22
think is potentially a reason that Jay Johnson and his
31:26
staff would consider quote unquote throwing off I mean and
31:30
not throwing one or two tomorrow night and taking a
31:34
chance against Arkansas State, hoping the bats will take care
31:38
of you know, take care of business, and then you
31:42
know you're you're sitting really nice having you know, two
31:45
of the one of the best one to two punches
31:47
in the country, if not the best one two punch
31:49
in the country ready for Saturday and Sunday.
31:52
Speaker 3: What are what are you? I'm loud you brother.
31:54
Speaker 4: What do you think maybe the chances of Jay wanting
31:57
to throw off, you know, with a little rock off
32:00
a little bit, because you know, I remember back in
32:03
twenty three when LSU won the title, a lot of
32:06
people thought Jay was going to do that against Tulane
32:08
with Paul Skins. He throws Skins in that first game.
32:11
What do you think the chances of them pitching off
32:13
this regional is.
32:16
Speaker 7: I think they're probably talking about it. I think, you know,
32:19
the good news is that with the brilliant move I
32:22
thought of throwing Anderson and Iinson the other day, you know,
32:25
in the SEC tournament, it kind of opens up the
32:28
potential for either of those guys to be on the
32:32
hill for this opener of the regional kind of leaves
32:34
everyone guessing, right, had he just gone Anderson then ainsin
32:37
the next day, I think the answer to be a
32:39
little bit more clear. But he has that option to
32:42
roll either one of them out there tonight, or he
32:45
could think about throwing off and I thought Jade knut
32:47
through well. I thought Jaatee Shores through well him and
32:51
Myers averaged one hundred point one miles an AFT on
32:54
their fast buss, which is crazy. They both did one
32:57
hundred and two in that game, you know, the last
33:01
game that we actually lost on Saturday. So yeah, I
33:06
think it's risky. It's risky to not go out there
33:09
with your number one and tournament play. It's just it's
33:11
a cliche, and everybody knows it's a cliche that you're
33:15
just setting yourself out for failure, potential failure. But again,
33:20
because of the the ability for these next two possible opponents,
33:24
Dallas Baptist in Rhode Island, you know their ability to
33:27
swing the bat, because that exists. I don't know. I
33:30
think this is this is one of those times where
33:32
you'd certainly consider it. Answer your question though, what do
33:36
I think the percentages fifty to fifty that that they
33:40
throw off tomorrow?
33:42
Speaker 4: Well, I mean something something to keep an eye on
33:44
from LSU Tiger pitcher Doug Thompson joining us right now. Doug.
33:47
Let's say that LSU does survive this regional, they'll host
33:50
the super in ben Rouge. That's the Clemson Regional. So
33:53
it's Clemson, West Virginia, Kentucky. You're the top three seeds there.
33:57
What are your thoughts on maybe some of those matchups.
34:00
Who do you think maybe matches up best with all
34:01
a few?
34:03
Speaker 7: Honestly, I'll be honest with you, I haven't looked that
34:06
far down the road. They're all tricky. They're all programs
34:09
that could come here and certainly beat you, you know,
34:13
including Kentucky. So that next round, as it should be,
34:18
as it will always be, is going to be a
34:20
difficult round. It's huge, though, I mean it's huge that
34:25
it's here at the Box because no matter how you
34:28
slice it and dice it or who you bring here
34:30
to the box, it's always been and will always be
34:34
good Lord Willing tough to win two out of three
34:38
at Alec Box Stadium, and that's what it comes down
34:40
to in that final weekend. And we've got two of
34:42
the best front end arms in the country, and that's
34:45
kind of the things that I'm focused on. Regardless of
34:47
who comes here, what are our strings? Number One is
34:51
Alec Box. I'm telling you, man. They when they go
34:54
to the bullpen on Friday or Saturday night and h
34:57
and they crank up Garth Brooks calling back and ruge
35:00
and they pull out their Ace. There's something about that energy,
35:05
especially in the postseason, and I have a feeling it's
35:08
gonna be absolutely packed for this round. In next round,
35:12
they know Tigers have missed the regional last year. Tiger
35:15
fans dying to get there. It's the best part of
35:17
the year. Of course, I hear the weather this weekend
35:20
will actually be a little bit better in terms of heat.
35:24
It won't be that hot, maybe even some relatively cool
35:28
temperatures for this time of year. So everything's set up
35:31
for a great run over the next two, three four
35:34
weeks for the city of Baton Rouge and for this
35:37
LSU baseball program. But I know one thing for sure,
35:41
Jay Johnson is focused on today, practicing his team, preparing
35:46
his team. His staff will continue to prepare tonight for
35:49
not only this game, but the next potential to teams
35:53
that they could play. They're going to be staring at
35:55
watching those games and collecting as much information as they can.

There's some of the best in the country at it.
36:01
There's some of the best I've ever seen. Those guys
36:04
are in you know, sleeves up twenty four to seven
36:07
mode right now, and I can promise you Jay Johnson's
36:11
teams whether regardless of what happens on the field, they
36:14
will be prepared for their opponent tomorrow night.

basically had to go an extra semester for one class
39:36
because like they wouldn't let you take any of the
39:38
prerecks in the same semester, so I had to go.
39:41
In order to you know, stay full time, you have
39:42
to take twelve hours. So I took sports history, a
39:46
basketball class, and it took a JFK assassination class as
39:49
my free history, and like, yeah, I mean the teacher.
39:51
He was this older guy. God, I wish I could
39:54
remember his name. He has three published books on JFK.
39:56
Like the entire semester was devoted to that. I got
39:59
to learn a whole lot about It was really fun.
40:01
Speaker 5: Okay, here we go, what do you Jordan has these
40:04
pictures pulled up, so hold on, go to the guy,

40:40
not like I'm not telling you now, but I'm saying
40:42
like I was. I didn't mean that demandingly. It sounded
40:45
like I was like, pull it up now. But this
40:48
is Brigitte Macrone, the one with the glasses, So that
40:53
y'all have Jean Michelle in your head. In your head,
40:55

Speaker 3: But then okay, somebody put a wig on.
41:06
Speaker 5: John Michelle Treugna had a son. Pull up the one

41:24
you could do the side by side. Yeah, no blood
41:26
relation to each other. That is Emmanuel McCrone and Brigitte's
41:32
nephew who has no blood relation allegedly to Emmanuel Macrone.
41:39
Speaker 3: So this is the first time I've ever actually seen

Speaker 5: I need the radio audience to look up these pictures
41:45
because got to visualize it.

Y'all could y'all could open up that can of.
42:07
Speaker 8: Worms in your own time. But that's my little tiny
42:11
So for the people listening, just imagine Emmanuel Macron. Yeah,
42:16
I guess you can imagine him, but imagine like a
42:18
Mormon coming to your front door to try and offer
42:21
you to join the Mormon Church. And he's kind of
42:24
like greasy looking like he might rob you a little bit.
42:27
That's what he looks like. And he looks like he
42:30
has a fascination with F one racing. I don't know why,
42:33
but that's the that's the image. Yeah, he looks like
42:37
he just knows all the F one racers. Oh yeah,

43:14
years and then this woman named Ronnie drou appears that Okay, anyway,
43:19
I'm getting too deep into yeah.
43:21

43:23
bit of a lighthearted one. It's not as big of
43:25
a thinker pancakes or waffles.
43:28
Speaker 5: It depends who makes them and like where they're from.
43:31
Speaker 8: Some waffle House waffles, though.
43:34
Speaker 3: This was something like a fen citing answer.
43:36
Speaker 4: I think the best waffle is better than the best pancake,
43:39
But on average, I think pancakes.

44:34
Speaker 4: It cooks through the bottom, so it's almost like it's
44:37
almost like seering it on top, and it looks on
44:40
the edge sunny side up, sunny side stays up.
44:43
