Speaker 1: Off the Bench. We have to Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
0:03
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go where.
0:05
Speaker 1: The plays get broken down and science gets denied.
0:08
Speaker 3: Got to come off the bench.
0:09
Speaker 1: Hour two of Off the Bench Live from the Raising
0:12
Speaker 1: Kine Studio.
0:40
Speaker 2: Welcome in our number two, a Tuesday edition of Off
0:43
Speaker 2: the Bench. Taylor Sharpiluandravil, Rial, Braxton, Risuto all hanging out
0:47
Speaker 2: with you here this morning. We're busy Hour number one
0:51
Speaker 2: talking a lot of baseball, mean Lundra kind of broke
0:53
Speaker 2: down hunts five bold predictions for the Yellow Shoe baseball season,
0:56
Speaker 2: how they hold up after the first weekend, and we
0:58
Speaker 2: took a look back at the action last night on
1:01
Speaker 2: the diamond as LSU takes down the Kent State Golden
1:03
Speaker 2: Flashes by a score of ten to seven. Right now,
1:07
Speaker 2: I want to pivot a little bit, just for one
1:10
Speaker 2: segment to LSU football because LSU Tigers on SI put
1:15
Speaker 2: out an article of Catholic KI running back Jaden Miles
1:19
Speaker 2: leaning towards the LSU Tigers. Now shouldn't come as a
1:22
Speaker 2: huge surprise. LSU does really well with Catholic high and
1:25
Speaker 2: Jade Miles number one running back in the state of Louisiana.
1:28
Speaker 2: So it may not come to a surprise to you
1:30
Speaker 2: that you know, LSU's on his radar. He's on Las
1:33
Speaker 2: Shoes radar. He's right down the road. He's six ft two,
1:37
Speaker 2: he's two hundred pounds. He offers from every SEC school
1:40
Speaker 2: you can think of, I mean Auburn, Oklahoma, Alabama, and
1:44
Speaker 2: even even some teams in Texas, Houston Cougar's, Texas Tech
1:47
Speaker 2: Red Raiders. You know, he's looking at a lot of
1:50
Speaker 2: different schools. Well, last Friday, Sam Spiegelman of Rivals officially
1:56
Speaker 2: put in his prediction for the LSU Tigers. Now, look,
1:59
Speaker 2: I get it, it's a little bit down the road.
2:01
Speaker 2: Things can change, but this makes a lot of sense,
2:04
Speaker 2: and it's because of Lane Kiffin. Look at some of
2:08
Speaker 2: the running backs under Lane Kiffen and how they performed.
2:13
Speaker 2: I mean twenty fifteen when Lane Kiffin was the offensive
2:15
Speaker 2: coordinator at Alabama, Derrick Henry three hundred and ninety five carries,
2:20
Speaker 2: two hundred and nineteen yards, twenty eight touchdowns, and oh yeah,
2:23
Speaker 2: Derick Henry took home the Heisman Trophy that season. Even
2:28
Speaker 2: even after and you know, twenty sixteen, they had a
2:31
Speaker 2: good year, but it was a mixture of guys Jalen
2:33
Speaker 2: Hurts a quarterback. You had Josh Jacobs, Damian Harris, a
2:38
Speaker 2: lot of those guys, so not all of them had
2:40
Speaker 2: eye popping numbers, but Alabama still ran the ball really effectively.
2:44
Speaker 2: Back in twenty sixteen. It was just three or four
2:46
Speaker 2: different guys and not one monster like you saw at
2:49
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry running for over two thousand yards. Lane kiffn
2:53
Speaker 2: gets to call up to Florida Atlantic to be their
2:56
Speaker 2: head coach. In twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen, he had
3:00
Speaker 2: Devin Singletary as his starting running back. Who's been a
3:02
Speaker 2: really good player in the NFL. You know, I mean
3:05
Speaker 2: he's never been at an all pro level, but just
3:07
Speaker 2: a solid professional running back is Devin Singletary. His first
3:13
Speaker 2: year at Florida Atlantic, without Lane Kiffin, he had one
3:19
Speaker 2: thousand yards twelve touchdowns, really good, really good numbers. But
3:24
Speaker 2: when Lane Kiffin got there in twenty seventeen, three hundred
3:28
Speaker 2: and one carries, nineteen hundred yards rushing and thirty two touchdowns.
3:34
Speaker 2: He also added another two hundred receiving. Followed it up
3:39
Speaker 2: the next year twenty eighteen, thirteen hundred yards rushing, twenty
3:43
Speaker 2: two touchdowns Lane Kiffen loves to run the football. I
3:48
Speaker 2: mean I just gave you multiple examples, but it goes
3:50
Speaker 2: beyond that. Look at quin Shawn Judkins at Ole Miss.
3:55
Speaker 2: I mean you saw what quin Shawn did his rookie
3:57
Speaker 2: year with the Browns. He was really, really good. He
3:59
Speaker 2: finished with about eight ndred yards rushing. He missed a
4:01
Speaker 2: couple games. Look at quin Shawn Jugkins at Old Miss
4:06
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, fifteen hundred yards rushing, sixteen touchdowns, average
4:11
Speaker 2: five point seven yards per carrey. And he did it
4:15
Speaker 2: again the next year eleven hundred yards, eleven hundred and
4:19
Speaker 2: fifty eight fifteen touchdowns and again hovering around two hundred
4:23
Speaker 2: yards receiving both of those years. Lane Kiffen loves to
4:27
Speaker 2: run the football. Look at some of the offenses that
4:31
Speaker 2: he struggled in and some of the whenever he lost
4:34
Speaker 2: a big game at Old Miss, he would always go
4:35
Speaker 2: to the podium and Jake mentions it here all the
4:38
Speaker 2: time because Jake talked to him at SEC spring meetings,
4:40
Speaker 2: and going into this past year, we said we lost
4:44
Speaker 2: to LSU in Depth Valley two years ago because we
4:47
Speaker 2: couldn't run the football and in the fourth quarter we
4:49
Speaker 2: kept having to throw it. A lot of people look
4:53
Speaker 2: at the lane Kiffin offense and think, oh, it's a
4:56
Speaker 2: spread attack, it's up tempo, Lane Kiffin's gonna throw the
4:58
Speaker 2: ball forty five fifty times a game. But that's just
5:03
Speaker 2: not the case. That's that's never been Lane Kiffin. Lane
5:07
Speaker 2: Kiffin has always prided himself on his offense and his
5:10
Speaker 2: team's ability to run the football. Look at Kawan Lacy
5:15
Speaker 2: just last season. Kawan Lacy three hundred and six carries,
5:21
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty seven yards, twenty four touchdowns, and
5:23
Speaker 2: he caught a heck of a lot of balls coming
5:25
Speaker 2: out of the backfield as well. When Lane Kiffin has
5:28
Speaker 2: a stud running back, he uses them. It's the workhorse.
5:31
Speaker 2: I mean, he had three hundred carries. Devin Singletary had
5:34
Speaker 2: three hundred carries his first year under lane Kiffen. Derek
5:37
Speaker 2: Henry had almost four hundred carries in twenty fifteen three
5:41
Speaker 2: ninety five. There's a lot to like if you're a
5:44
Speaker 2: running back about the Lane Kiffin offense. It's, in my opinion,
5:48
Speaker 2: a big reason why you were able to get Harlem
5:51
Speaker 2: Berry and Caden Durham back. I remember Kayden Durham entered
5:54
Speaker 2: the transfer portal and there were a lot of people
5:56
Speaker 2: that said, Kiffin's gonna bring in Kawan Lacy and you're
5:59
Speaker 2: gonna lose Harlan Barry. You're gonna lose Cayden Durham. Now,
6:03
Speaker 2: you lost Caleb Jackson, but Caleb Jackson was kind of
6:05
Speaker 2: your fourth runner this year because Barry emerged. You knew
6:09
Speaker 2: Cayden Durham was at least going to be the number
6:11
Speaker 2: one guy to start the season because of how he
6:14
Speaker 2: finished his freshman year, and then Juwan Johnson stepped up
6:17
Speaker 2: in fall camp. So yes, you lost Caleb Jackson, but
6:20
Speaker 2: Caleb Jackson was your number four. Anyways, it didn't matter
6:23
Speaker 2: quite as much. You were able to get Harlan Berry
6:27
Speaker 2: and Caden Durham back because Lank Kiffin is now your
6:31
Speaker 2: head coach and what he is able to do running
6:33
Speaker 2: the football. I mean when I look at Harlan Berry
6:36
Speaker 2: four ninety one last year on the ground really came
6:39
Speaker 2: on strong in the back half of the year. The
6:42
Speaker 2: sky is the limit for Harlan Burry in this offense,
6:44
Speaker 2: because I fully expect him to be RB one at
6:47
Speaker 2: least going into Game one against Clemson, Caydenduram's gonna have
6:50
Speaker 2: a role. We talk about it a lot on this ship.
6:55
Speaker 2: These running backs are so talented that behind this poor
6:58
Speaker 2: offensive line, with poor coaching, an awful running scheme where
7:02
Speaker 2: you basically ran an rpo every play and the alignman
7:05
Speaker 2: could not get to the second level. Caden Durham and
7:07
Speaker 2: Harlan Barry both each ran for over four yards per
7:11
Speaker 2: carry last year. At one point in the season, Kaden
7:14
Speaker 2: Durham had five yards per carrie until about the halfway point,
7:17
Speaker 2: but they both still got over four yards per carry.
7:21
Speaker 2: It's because of Lane Kiffin. Mix in a running back
7:24
Speaker 2: like Sam Levitt, who, if fully healthy, he showed his
7:27
Speaker 2: ability to run the football. I mean, a lot of
7:29
Speaker 2: people forget how athletic Sam Levitt is because yes, he
7:32
Speaker 2: was hurt last year. I get that he played in
7:35
Speaker 2: four games for the Sun Devils. But when Sam Levit's
7:39
Speaker 2: fully healthy, he can run the ball as well. I mean,
7:43
Speaker 2: look at what he did two years ago when he
7:46
Speaker 2: was at Arizona State. Played in thirteen games, four and
7:50
Speaker 2: forty three yard rushing, five rushing touchdowns, four yards per carry.
7:54
Speaker 2: Even last year in seven games, three hundred yard rushing,
7:58
Speaker 2: five touchdowns four point two. AKA, you mix Sam Levitt
8:02
Speaker 2: with Caden Durham and Harlem Berry, and this offense is
8:06
Speaker 2: going to be built around throwing the football. I know
8:08
Speaker 2: LSU signed a billion receivers in the transfer portal. We
8:12
Speaker 2: talked about the three talented freshman yesterday that you have
8:14
Speaker 2: coming in, But make no mistake about it, this offensi's
8:17
Speaker 2: identity is going to be running the football. And I'm
8:21
Speaker 2: not saying they're going to get Jaden Miles out of Catholica.
8:24
Speaker 2: Jade Miles has a lot of options. He's going to
8:26
Speaker 2: go where he thinks best fits him. But really, any
8:29
Speaker 2: running back that steps foot in this offense, I believe
8:32
Speaker 2: is going to have success because you have the best
8:34
Speaker 2: offensive mine in college football. I truly believe that. And
8:37
Speaker 2: then with Charlie Wise junior call in the plays, there's
8:39
Speaker 2: so much familiarity between him and Lane Kiffen. Any running
8:43
Speaker 2: back would be hard pressed to find a better situation
8:45
Speaker 2: than the one LSU is going to provide for them.
8:48
Speaker 2: And that's why even with Harlem Berry, even with Caden Durham,
8:51
Speaker 2: you added three running backs in the transfer portal. Now
8:54
Speaker 2: they look like depth pieces, but Dylan Jones from Wisconsin.
8:58
Speaker 2: He put up solid numbers last year. He began the
9:01
Speaker 2: season for Wisconsin as the starting running back. Now he
9:04
Speaker 2: ultimately got passed up, but he was a guy that
9:06
Speaker 2: played in big time games for He came here knowing
9:09
Speaker 2: that you had two returning running backs. Guys like Jade
9:13
Speaker 2: Miles are going to do the same thing. It doesn't
9:15
Speaker 2: necessarily have to be Jade Miles. But I mean when
9:18
Speaker 2: you look at this offense again, like what Lane Kiffin
9:22
Speaker 2: has done throughout the years, Derrick Henry wins the Heisman Trophy,
9:26
Speaker 2: Devin Singletary back to back twelve hundred yard plus seasons.
9:31
Speaker 2: He's still playing in the NFL. Quin John Jenkins elite
9:36
Speaker 2: college career. Yes, he transferred to Ohio State to win
9:39
Speaker 2: a national championship, got drafted in the second round. But
9:43
Speaker 2: if qwen John Jenkins doesn't get hurt last year, who
9:45
Speaker 2: knows me he's holding up that Rookie of the Year
9:46
Speaker 2: trophy and not Ted Roan McMillan. And we know about
9:50
Speaker 2: Kawan Lacy. Everybody in the country wanted Kawan Lacy if
9:54
Speaker 2: he was going to enter the portal and Old Mills
9:55
Speaker 2: probably had to pay a pretty penny to keep him
9:57
Speaker 2: in Oxford. There's a pattern in there. There's one constant,
10:02
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry six three two forty, Devin Singletary a little
10:06
Speaker 2: bit on the smaller side, Kawan Lacy known as more
10:08
Speaker 2: of a receiving back before he got the ole Miss Judkins,
10:13
Speaker 2: the downhill runner. All of these guys had kind of
10:17
Speaker 2: different skill sets, but all of them succeeded in the
10:20
Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin offense, whether it's Jade Miles, whether it's another
10:24
Speaker 2: top running back. Like yeah, Sam Spiekerman logged his pick
10:27
Speaker 2: for LSU to to get Jade Miles. It makes a
10:31
Speaker 2: lot of sense. I think you're gonna see LSU continue
10:35
Speaker 2: to get these top tier running backs. Like everyone wanted
10:37
Speaker 2: to talk about the quarterback position with Lane Kiffin, I
10:40
Speaker 2: don't have to worry about the quarterback position. Lane Kiffin's
10:43
Speaker 2: who went to land a top quarterback, And you're probably
10:45
Speaker 2: right because he has a quarterback friendly system, but running
10:49
Speaker 2: back as well. He uses them a lot. They're all
10:52
Speaker 2: effective in his offense. And you can see going down
10:54
Speaker 2: the list of guys Henry Singletary, Judkins, Kawan Lacey, it
10:58
Speaker 2: works for a lot of different type of running backs.
11:01
Speaker 2: You're not always gonna have a guy that's a perfect
11:03
Speaker 2: fit for your scheme. Recruitings fickle like that. You could
11:07
Speaker 2: be targeting a guy and he can flip somewhere else
11:08
Speaker 2: last minute. You got to bring in a guy. Lane
11:11
Speaker 2: Kiffin is an innovative enough offensive mind to overcome that.
11:14
Speaker 2: So I think whether it's Miles, whether it's other top
11:16
Speaker 2: running backs, you're gonna see a lot of this in
11:19
Speaker 2: the future as far as LSU being in the running
11:22
Speaker 2: for some of these top running backs throughout the high
11:23
Speaker 2: school football. All right, we're going to take a time out.
11:26
Speaker 2: When we get back, get your questions in the YouTube chat.
11:29
Speaker 2: We got OTB mailbag coming up. We do it every

14:47
Speaker 2: Are you giving up anything for the Lenten season? So
14:51
Speaker 2: it ain't gonna be Doctor Pepper.
14:52
Speaker 6: We know that Doctor Pepper was hard, but what I'm
14:55
Speaker 6: thinking about giving up is even harder, and it would
14:58
Speaker 6: include Dr Pepper, But I I don't.
15:00
Speaker 7: Know if I can do it. Okay, thinking about giving
15:04
Speaker 7: up caffeine.
15:05
Speaker 2: Like all together.
15:06
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know this is someone that drinks a quad
15:10
Speaker 6: espresso every single morning.
15:13
Speaker 7: It's gonna be hard. I basically can only drink water.
15:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's some rubers that don't have caffeine.
15:22
Speaker 2: I think, I think, I think that's right. What about Sprite?
15:28
Speaker 2: I don't, Okay, well then you you have sprite?
15:30
Speaker 6: Then that's a big I don't know if I can
15:34
Speaker 6: do it, Like, I just don't want to set myself
15:36
Speaker 6: up for failure. But I also feel like, you know,
15:40
Speaker 6: if Jesus sacrificed his life from me, I can sacrifice
15:44
Speaker 6: some caffeine for forty days.
15:47
Speaker 2: This is the one of the moments every year where
15:50
Speaker 2: I realize I'm not tough enough to be Catholic.
15:53
Speaker 6: I'm not.
15:55
Speaker 2: I know, I know. I told my mom. I'm like, hey,
15:59
Speaker 2: that's funny for this, for this this reason, thank you.
16:04
Speaker 2: Because I couldn't do it. I would fail every year.
16:06
Speaker 2: It's the same reason why I never set a New
16:09
Speaker 2: Year's Eve resolution or New Year's resolution, because in two
16:12
Speaker 2: weeks I'm gonna be done. I'm not gonna do it.
16:15
Speaker 2: I am I'm I'm weak when it comes to stuff
16:16
Speaker 2: like that. I'm not gonna be able to follow through.
16:18
Speaker 7: But I did the note doctor Pepper last year, and
16:21
Speaker 7: that was hard.
16:22
Speaker 2: Guys. She would come in some mornings with like a
16:23
Speaker 2: junkie itch. She'd like, y'all got any more of them
16:26
Speaker 2: Doctor Peppers.
16:27
Speaker 6: And then the last one that I had before Lynt
16:29
Speaker 6: was a regular one because y'all know I drink the zeros, right,
16:33
Speaker 6: But I had a regular one. And then whenever I
16:36
Speaker 6: like got one after lint was over, it was a
16:38
Speaker 6: regular one in a can.
16:41
Speaker 2: The cams are the best. There is nothing better ice.
16:44
Speaker 6: Cold can Doctor Pepper, and it was the best Doctor
16:47
Speaker 6: pepper i'd ever.
16:47
Speaker 2: Had, by the way, I was looking for you the
16:49
Speaker 2: other day. I showed a hunt. I tried the first
16:53
Speaker 2: floor in the first floor kitchen vinie machine. Yeah, ice cold,
16:57
Speaker 2: really ice cold. Tried it last week.
16:59
Speaker 7: It used to be hot.
17:00
Speaker 2: I just I needed I needed a doctor pepper last
17:03
Speaker 2: week and I was like, Oh, if it's hot, I'll
17:04
Speaker 2: just put it in the fridge. Yeah, I cold.
17:06
Speaker 6: I also thought about doing alcohol, which is more doable,
17:10
Speaker 6: surprisingly more.
17:11
Speaker 7: Doable than the caffeine. To me, is like giving up alcohol.
17:14
Speaker 7: But I'm going to New York next weekend.
17:16
Speaker 2: Yeah.
17:17
Speaker 7: And when we go to New York is go.
17:20
Speaker 2: Drink so right, and like if you guess some were fancy,
17:22
Speaker 2: like you almost have to order wine, right, So.
17:26
Speaker 7: Gonna drink some champagne.
17:30
Speaker 2: Hashtag O TB mail bag. How can the Lady Tiger's
17:32
Speaker 2: softball team be fixed? Easy answer, get hits and score runs.
17:36
Speaker 2: We talked about it yesterday, Sierra, Daniel, jayl Lassiter, Tory Edwards.
17:40
Speaker 2: They're doing their part. Everybody else needs to step up
17:43
Speaker 2: as well. Hashtag mailbag how is the baby room coming along?
17:48
Speaker 2: Thank you for asking, Daniel basham slowly but surely so
17:54
Speaker 2: we kind of use that closet in our back bedroom.
17:57
Speaker 2: So we live in a three and two. We just
18:00
Speaker 2: got that even though we didn't have any kids. We
18:02
Speaker 2: were like, look, we're gonna have this house for the
18:03
Speaker 2: next however many years we want, like, let's just do
18:05
Speaker 2: it now instead of you know, buying what like close
18:09
Speaker 2: in on a house. It's not the funnest thing in
18:11
Speaker 2: the world. So we were like, let's just go ahead
18:13
Speaker 2: and do it one time. If you know, we happen
18:14
Speaker 2: to have three or four kids down the road, then
18:17
Speaker 2: we'll pack up and move. But for the time being,
18:19
Speaker 2: it works. So we were kind of using that back
18:21
Speaker 2: bedroom as storage. So like a lot of my winter coats,
18:25
Speaker 2: a lot of her winter coats were in that back closet.
18:29
Speaker 2: She did a closet clean out of her stuff Wednesday,
18:32
Speaker 2: and uh, Friday, I did mine. So that's done. Really,
18:36
Speaker 2: all I gotta do is get the full size bed
18:39
Speaker 2: mattress out of there. We gotta wrap it, put it
18:41
Speaker 2: up in the attic. That's pretty much it, and then
18:44
Speaker 2: start the process of painting. If Victoria said she wants
18:47
Speaker 2: to go with a light yellow, because it could be
18:49
Speaker 2: boy or girl in case we have a girl, somewhere
18:51
Speaker 2: down the road, and it could fit with an law
18:54
Speaker 2: shoot theme if we want to do that. So we're
18:56
Speaker 2: thinking something along the lines of that. But baby room,
18:58

Speaker 2: your kids sleep in a closet. No, okay, we're cleaning
22:36
Speaker 2: out the closet. It did I know? I worded that
22:40
Speaker 2: very poorly. We're cleaning out the closet in the back bedroom.
22:44
Speaker 2: We want to get everything out of there and just
22:46
Speaker 2: work on the baby room all at once. By the way,
22:50
Speaker 2: anybody may, I guess you two would never have a
22:52
Speaker 2: reason to do it. But if you've ever looked up
22:54
Speaker 2: prices of a baby crib, no, not the cheapest thing
22:57
Speaker 2: in the world.
22:58
Speaker 7: Guess everything that involves a baby is expensive.
23:02
Speaker 2: We went and looked a couple of weeks ago some
23:04
Speaker 2: place I don't even remember where we were, and Victoria's like, oh, yeah,
23:07
Speaker 2: it's like baby furniture. Went looked and they're like, yeah,
23:09
Speaker 2: we have a twenty percent off sale. I was like, cool,
23:11
Speaker 2: how much is this rocking chair? They're like, well, it's
23:14
Speaker 2: called a glider. Okay, how much is this glider. They're
23:17
Speaker 2: like eight hundred dollars and I was like, this is
23:20
Speaker 2: on sale, and then I was like, yeah, it is
23:22
Speaker 2: on sale because the other one next year it was
23:24
Speaker 2: twelve hundred. So to me, that's a little ridiculous. But
23:28
Speaker 2: everything everything baby related, like, it's just it's just one
23:31
Speaker 2: thing after now.
23:32
Speaker 7: Do you look up car seats?
23:34
Speaker 2: So we actually already we got a car seat given
23:36
Speaker 2: to it.
23:36
Speaker 7: Is it a Duna no or what is it douna?
23:40
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right. You're talking about the one that's
23:42
Speaker 2: like car seat, stroller all in one. That's right, we
23:44
Speaker 2: don't have that. We weren't given a car seat. It's
23:48
Speaker 2: just that a Greco or whatever brand, the brand you
23:50
Speaker 2: see all the time.
23:52
Speaker 6: We're supposedly being given one time for a baby shower.
23:56
Speaker 3: Yep.
23:57
Speaker 7: I was like, do some of y'all want to go
23:59
Speaker 7: in on this together?
24:00
Speaker 2: We can go in fourths still be a decent gift. No,
24:04
Speaker 2: So we've looked at the we've looked at Duna's. We're
24:09
Speaker 2: apparently going to get one something, but we we already
24:11
Speaker 2: do have like a temporary car seat right now, Let's
24:15
Speaker 2: be honest, we're gonna be carrying that baby every where
24:17
Speaker 2: we go over the first couple of months anyway. So
24:20
Speaker 2: the stroller, well, we'll get one, though, we're gonna figure
24:22
Speaker 2: it out. We want to get the baby room figured
24:23
Speaker 2: out first. Victoria has a a women only baby shower
24:28
Speaker 2: in April. So I'm not even invited to its? How
24:30
Speaker 2: they are, Yeah, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not even invited.
24:33
Speaker 7: And then the men come at the end.
24:35
Speaker 2: I'm not going at all, apparently. Yeah, I know she
24:37
Speaker 2: didn't want me. I mean, I get it. I wouldn't
24:39

24:52
Speaker 2: old on Valentine's Day on Saturday, so we went to
24:54
Speaker 2: the party that morning or that that. Yeah, it was
24:56
Speaker 2: like newt. We get there and uh, we pull up
24:59
Speaker 2: and he goes, how's Razor doing. Victoria's like, guys, stop.
25:04
Speaker 7: Can we just stop calling him?
25:05
Speaker 2: He's like everybody at the Christmas party and the Garritet
25:07
Speaker 2: one hundred year celebration, they've all gotten together and claimed
25:11
Speaker 2: that this baby's gonna be And I mean I didn't
25:13
Speaker 2: even tell him at a time, and it's just it's
25:16
Speaker 2: it's the obvious name, guys. A little bit of breaking news.
25:21
Speaker 2: The baby's not going to be named Razor. I'm would
25:23
Speaker 2: like to apologize to everyone.
25:25
Speaker 6: I think I've said something like I commented on y'all's
25:28
Speaker 6: picture or something else like I can't wait to be Razor,
25:30
Speaker 6: and Victoria was like, you're so funny, right.
25:32
Speaker 2: Oh, but it's so funny, Like nobody has talked to
25:36
Speaker 2: each other about it, and everybody has said that, like
25:39
Speaker 2: like a friend Ben, he doesn't know, y'all, you can.
25:41
Speaker 2: We walked in, how's Razor doing. My best friend's last
25:45
Speaker 2: name is Hunt and he already has a kid. But
25:47
Speaker 2: he told me he's like, hey, if you name your
25:49
Speaker 2: son Razor, if I ever have a daughter in the future,
25:51
Speaker 2: all name or Treasure, so it'd be Razor Sharp and
25:54
Speaker 2: then Treasure Hunt. And I was like, that's the most
25:56
Speaker 2: tempting I've heard. The problem is, though, you have to
26:00
Speaker 2: have another kid and all that, Like, yeah, that's a
26:01
Speaker 2: risk I can't take, but it would be elite. I'm
26:05
Speaker 2: trying to work in Razor as a middle name and
26:07
Speaker 2: maybe just kind of go by that I as a
26:09
Speaker 2: middle name. We're we're trying to we're trying to workship
26:12
Speaker 2: that in a little bit. Victoria wants to have my
26:14
Speaker 2: middle name. I hate my middle name. Malone is my
26:17
Speaker 2: middle name, family name. Don't know where it originates from,
26:20
Speaker 2: but I don't know. She wants to kind of keep
26:23
Speaker 2: it going.
26:23
Speaker 6: Uh.
26:24
Speaker 2: I think I'm the last one with Malone because my
26:25
Speaker 2: younger brother's not. But uh, I don't know. It's it's
26:28
Speaker 2: not gonna be Razor there, guys, I hate to break
26:30
Speaker 2: the news to everybody. All Right, We're gonna take a quick,
26:33
Speaker 2: real quick.
26:34
Speaker 7: Is a Landra the godmother?
26:36
Speaker 2: I don't know.
26:37
Speaker 7: I'd be a great guy.
26:38
Speaker 2: Here's what we're gonna do, guys, We're gonna take bids.
26:42
Speaker 7: I'm not bidding on that.
26:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, highest bidder, highest bidder gets to be the god
26:46
Speaker 2: I would.
26:47
Speaker 6: Love to be the godmother to Razor, but I'm not
26:49
Speaker 6: I'm not bidding.
26:50
Speaker 2: Also, it's not as fun to be a godmother as
26:52
Speaker 2: someone that's not named Razor. Right, So that's I don't know.
26:55
Speaker 2: I mean, do people still do godmothers? I mean, is
26:58
Speaker 2: it like still a thing? Yeah? I know that I
27:01
Speaker 2: have one somewhere I've never met him. My mom's literally
27:04
Speaker 2: told me, oh, yeah, these people are your godparents. Never
27:06
Speaker 2: met him a day in my life. I don't even
27:07
Speaker 2: think they live around here anymore.
27:11
Speaker 6: My brother doesn't really know his godfather.
27:14
Speaker 3: I don't.
27:15
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, we probably will probably just
27:18
Speaker 2: pick my my sister and my brother in law, because
27:21
Speaker 2: I mean, they live right down the road.
27:22
Speaker 3: RUMs.
27:23
Speaker 2: I mean, that's probably. I mean, I guess the logical
27:25
Speaker 2: answer to do. But I don't know. I mean, is
27:27
Speaker 2: that is that a thing that I didn't realize people
27:30
Speaker 2: still did that. I like it, but uh, yeah, we'll see.
27:35
Speaker 2: We'll see. The god parent is well, is not gonna
27:38
Speaker 2: bid for it, so she's out of the running. Look,
27:40
Speaker 2: we got we gotta make some we gotta. I'm trying
27:42
Speaker 2: to make money off that.
27:42
Speaker 7: They're saying that I'm gonna raise Archie.
27:45
Speaker 6: They named your baby Archie in the chat, by the way,
27:48
Speaker 6: actually a kind of cute.
27:49
Speaker 2: Archie's not a bad name. Archie raisor sharp, Archie is
27:52
Speaker 2: not a terrible now one.
27:53
Speaker 7: So they said that, Daniel.
27:55
Speaker 6: So then they said that I'm gonna be raising Archie
27:57
Speaker 6: and Punch. I have Punch when in one and Archie
28:00
Speaker 6: in the other.
28:01
Speaker 2: My dad is listening. Just got a text. You don't
28:04
Speaker 2: have godparents. I think that's a Catholic thing.
28:06
Speaker 7: It is a Catholic thing.
28:07
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, there you go. I don't have god parents.
28:09
Speaker 2: I didn't think I did. I don't know if I
28:11
Speaker 2: did or not. I thought my mom. I thought maybe
28:13
Speaker 2: a long time ago.
28:14
Speaker 6: My mom said, I don't know.
28:17
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe not. But no, no god parents,
28:20
Speaker 2: and I don't. I guess we probably won't have any either.

30:54
Speaker 8: Carolina kind of the same deal.
30:56
Speaker 6: That game.
30:59
Speaker 4: Was.
31:00
Speaker 8: That game was on a Thursday night, so it was
31:03
Speaker 8: you're in a week but game day was here that
31:05
Speaker 8: day as well, and there was a big lead up
31:08
Speaker 8: to it. So those two are are probably the two best.
31:13
Speaker 8: Just and with it being kind of on a on
31:15
Speaker 8: a weekend, it was in prime time. The fans were
31:18
Speaker 8: able to kind of kind of have all day on
31:22
Speaker 8: a weekend to get ready for it. I thought it
31:24
Speaker 8: was even a little more than the one a couple
31:27
Speaker 8: of years ago. But those are the two best, just
31:30
Speaker 8: because at South Carolina, it's a team we haven't beaten forever,
31:34
Speaker 8: a top five matchup. Our fans have had this one
31:38
Speaker 8: circled for a long time, and that made it a
31:39
Speaker 8: little even a little tougher to swallow when it just
31:42
Speaker 8: didn't quite go our way again against South Carolina.
31:46
Speaker 2: Speaking of that, you know, I saw the graphic on
31:49
Speaker 2: the broadcast and they were like, oh, seventeen seventeen in
31:51
Speaker 2: a row for South Carolina over lo Shu Patrick. I
31:53
Speaker 2: thought it was a typo. I mean, what is it
31:55
Speaker 2: about this South Carolina program unless you just cannot get.
31:58
Speaker 8: Over the homep Well, they're they're they're that good. Uh
32:03
Speaker 8: you know, they're counting this year, their last five years,
32:07
Speaker 8: they are seventy four and three in the SEC. So
32:10
Speaker 8: it's not just an LSU thing. It's almost everybody else also. Now,
32:17
Speaker 8: when the last time we beat him was back in
32:20
Speaker 8: twenty twelve, and that was just when they started. They
32:24
Speaker 8: hadn't started making Final four runs yet, but they had
32:27
Speaker 8: started to get pretty good, and then our program had
32:31
Speaker 8: you know, we were kind of average, had had a
32:33
Speaker 8: couple of rough years. Most of those seventeen in a
32:37
Speaker 8: row were not very close games. A couple were close ish,
32:43
Speaker 8: but not very close. You know, since coach Malky's got here,
32:47
Speaker 8: you know, it's it's been six games. Four of them
32:50
Speaker 8: have been close, you know, the one in the SEC
32:54
Speaker 8: Tournament Championship a couple of years ago, and all three
32:57
Speaker 8: games in the PMAC that coaches Coach Malkey's coached against
33:01
Speaker 8: them have been closed. They just they just make make
33:06
Speaker 8: the right plays at the right time, and then you know,
33:10
Speaker 8: sometimes it takes a little bit of good fortune. I mean,
33:11
Speaker 8: I wouldn't bet on you know, flage A Johnson missing
33:15
Speaker 8: a couple of free throws late. In fact, you know,
33:18
Speaker 8: we we shot I think sixty percent from the free
33:20
Speaker 8: throw and this has been a team that was eighty
33:22
Speaker 8: percent at SEC play coming in. So it was you know,
33:25
Speaker 8: if you had to pick away that LSU was going
33:27
Speaker 8: to lose that game, free throw shooting would have been
33:29
Speaker 8: kind of toward the bottom of the list. But man,
33:32
Speaker 8: just stuff just happens that you can't explain. Sometimes I'm
33:36
Speaker 8: glad you went.
33:36
Speaker 2: There with the free throws, because you know, when I
33:38
Speaker 2: was looking at this game going into it, I was like, oh,
33:40
Speaker 2: I'm worried about South Carolina's you know, size down low.
33:43
Speaker 2: LSU out rebounds them, and then yeah, like the free throws.
33:46
Speaker 2: Is that Is that something that's a concern for you
33:49
Speaker 2: or you just think, hey was a one off, it
33:50
Speaker 2: was a bad night.
33:51
Speaker 8: No, it's a one off. I mean it just again,
33:54
Speaker 8: there's there's no good explanation for it. Just it just happens.
33:58
Speaker 8: And I think, you know, I've seen enough of these
34:00
Speaker 8: games through how many years, it seems like contagious in
34:04
Speaker 8: a game, either either you're gonna shoot super well or
34:09
Speaker 8: if you start missing a couple then then it kind
34:11
Speaker 8: of goes that way. Also, but looking at the stat sheet,
34:16
Speaker 8: I mean, everything that worried you are concerned you going
34:19
Speaker 8: in was fine. LSU points off, turnovers were pretty even.
34:24
Speaker 8: You know, you mentioned we out rebounded them pretty heavily,
34:27
Speaker 8: we did, you know, second chance points were closed, field
34:30
Speaker 8: goal percent was about even on both sides. If you
34:33
Speaker 8: take away the free throws and you look at the
34:35
Speaker 8: stat sheet, LSU is the clear winner in the game
34:38
Speaker 8: because they controlled a lot of the stats that thought
34:41
Speaker 8: they needed to control going in again. Just one of
34:44
Speaker 8: those things you can't predict. And that's what makes it
34:47
Speaker 8: all the more frustrating, is it's it's more what you
34:50
Speaker 8: did to yourself than what they did to you.
34:53
Speaker 2: Patrick, switching from women's basketball to baseball, you had to
34:58
Speaker 2: do all the games on the diame this week as well.
35:01
Speaker 2: What were your thoughts on this pitching staff? There was
35:03
Speaker 2: a lot of excitement. Evans, Cooper Moore, William Schmidt. What
35:06
Speaker 2: did you see from those guys?
35:08
Speaker 8: Well, it's a it's a deep group. Last night, some
35:13
Speaker 8: of the relievers just didn't throw enough strikes. He had
35:16
Speaker 8: hit a couple of batters and gave up some walks.
35:18
Speaker 8: But overall, there is there is so much raw talent
35:22
Speaker 8: in this group. Now, the one that clearly stood out
35:26
Speaker 8: was Cooper Moore on Saturday, you know the transfer from Kansas.
35:29
Speaker 8: The guy is a strike throwing machine. He threw eighty
35:34
Speaker 8: percent of his pitches for strikes and he's got six
35:37
Speaker 8: different pitches and yeah, I don't remember all the exact numbers,
35:42
Speaker 8: but Doug had had some numbers that we read off
35:47
Speaker 8: on Sunday the day after he pitched. He threw like
35:49
Speaker 8: thirty eight percent change ups. But he's got fastball, curveball,
35:54
Speaker 8: he's got to think a little splitter that he throws.
35:57
Speaker 8: He threw six different pitches, all of them for strike
36:00
Speaker 8: and you know, doesn't necessarily throw the ball through the backstop.
36:05
Speaker 8: You know he'll go low nineties. But good proof that
36:09
Speaker 8: you don't have to have that. Now, LSU's got plenty
36:12
Speaker 8: of pitchers who can do that. Schmidt again kind of
36:16
Speaker 8: the you know, not throwing maybe enough strikes, but every
36:20
Speaker 8: pitcher in the grand total of it had a ton
36:23
Speaker 8: of strikeouts. It was forty nine over the weekend, and
36:27
Speaker 8: it was about twelve or thirteen last night, So about
36:29
Speaker 8: sixty strikeouts in four games. I mean, the stuff is
36:33
Speaker 8: there for just about everybody. It's just a matter of
36:35
Speaker 8: a few guys just you know, throwing some more strikes.
36:37
Speaker 8: I mean a little more consistent as far.
36:39
Speaker 2: As the bullpen goes. Patrick Patrick Wright joining us right now.
36:44
Speaker 2: Do you think this could be one of the deepest
36:45
Speaker 2: bullpens in college baseball?
36:48
Speaker 3: Yeah?
36:48
Speaker 8: If you again, if you get, if you get some
36:50
Speaker 8: of the guys who are throwing throwing strikes. But let
36:53
Speaker 8: me tell you what you got. You know, Gavin Gidrey,
36:55
Speaker 8: any guy coming off of a year and a half
36:57
Speaker 8: without pitching, you're not sure. It looks like he is back,
37:01
Speaker 8: not only in his in his form, but I think
37:03
Speaker 8: he's better. Uh, he's he was commanding everything in both appearances.
37:09
Speaker 8: But then you got guys like Devin Shearon who just
37:14
Speaker 8: came in and struck at everybody he's face this week,
37:16
Speaker 8: and he faced four or five batters, struck them all out.
37:19
Speaker 8: Then you got hard throwers, the guys like Gavin Fonteau.
37:25
Speaker 8: Just yeah, there's there's a lot of versatility. I don't
37:28
Speaker 8: know now, maybe Guidry will develop into it. I don't
37:32
Speaker 8: know if coach Johnson is gonna necessarily name a closer.
37:35
Speaker 8: I think you got three or four guys who are
37:38
Speaker 8: who are capable of being somebody who could come in
37:41
Speaker 8: and give you one or two innings of wipeout pitching
37:44
Speaker 8: to you know, to close out a one or two
37:45
Speaker 8: run ball game. It's again four games. You got to
37:50
Speaker 8: get some performance. But on paper, and then from what
37:53
Speaker 8: I saw with my eyes, there's there's a lot of
37:56
Speaker 8: lot of talent out out of that group.
37:57
Speaker 2: Absolutely, we get you out of here. Going back to uh,
38:02
Speaker 2: I'll let you women's basketball here real quick. It doesn't
38:05
Speaker 2: get any easier. I mean, you got to go on
38:06
Speaker 2: the road to Ole Miss on Thursday. How does this
38:10
Speaker 2: team how does coach Molkey get this team to to
38:12
Speaker 2: refocus bounce back? I mean there was a lot of hype,
38:15
Speaker 2: you know, the game was on ABC and then they
38:17
Speaker 2: suffer a heartbreaking loss. And how tough do you think
38:19
Speaker 2: that is to kind of, hey, let's rebound, let's put
38:21
Speaker 2: this one behind us because we got another top twenty
38:23
Speaker 2: five team coming up.
38:24
Speaker 8: Well, I'll tell you what happened two years ago when
38:26
Speaker 8: they beat us here. We then had to go on
38:29
Speaker 8: the road a few days later at Mississippi State and
38:32
Speaker 8: got beat that night. And it was one of it
38:35
Speaker 8: was a classic situation of we almost It's like we
38:37
Speaker 8: lost the South Carolina game twice like that game got
38:40
Speaker 8: us beat again. And I think for the group that
38:43
Speaker 8: was here a couple of years ago, she will use
38:45
Speaker 8: that point and say, look, guys, we got to put
38:47
Speaker 8: this behind us. We've got to you know, not let
38:51
Speaker 8: that happen again. What happened two years ago? Ole Miss
38:54
Speaker 8: is a team. Yeah, they beat us last year in
38:57
Speaker 8: the PMAC on Senior Day. It was a pretty close game,
39:00
Speaker 8: but they're they're a grinded out team and if you know,
39:03
Speaker 8: if you don't go in there ready to play, they
39:05
Speaker 8: can absolutely can take it to you. They've got it.
39:07
Speaker 8: They had a game postponed with Tennessee a couple of
39:12
Speaker 8: weeks ago due to the ice storm, so Ole Miss
39:14
Speaker 8: is playing. They played Sunday at Kentucky and lost. They've
39:17
Speaker 8: got Tennessee at home tonight, and then they've got us
39:20
Speaker 8: on Thursday. So it is a rough week for them.
39:23
Speaker 8: That's something to hope we can kind of take advantage of.
39:26
Speaker 8: They'll be playing their third game in five days when
39:28
Speaker 8: we see them up there. But as coaches said all year,
39:31
Speaker 8: this is a group that they don't lose confidence.
39:34
Speaker 3: They come to.
39:34
Speaker 8: Work every day ready to get better for the next game.
39:37
Speaker 8: So I think kind of getting that focus back. And
39:39
Speaker 8: there's four big games coming up. We got a lot
39:41
Speaker 8: to play for. Need to try to finish top four
39:44
Speaker 8: in the SEC, try to hold on to a two
39:47
Speaker 8: or three seed for the NCAA. So there's plenty to go,
39:51
Speaker 8: plenty to go out there and get I think she'll
39:53
Speaker 8: have them ready.

43:03
Speaker 2: up for lent because I'm a weak minded individual. Yeah,
43:06
Speaker 2: Landra said she was going to give up caffeine. I
43:08
Speaker 2: got an update for you. Maybe here's some sodas with
43:11
Speaker 2: no caffeine. Sprite seven up the story that used to
43:16
Speaker 2: be here on this Any root beer that is not
43:21
Speaker 2: Bark's brand, so a n W mugs root beer, IBC.
43:26
Speaker 2: None of the only Barks root beer has caffeine. All
43:28
Speaker 2: the other root beers, You're good, h Canada dry ginger
43:32
Speaker 2: any ginger ale, so basically any lemon lime ginger ale,
43:36
Speaker 2: but you have root beer. Also, how about Phanta orange
43:40
Speaker 2: an orange crush? Didn't know that.
43:42
Speaker 6: I'm not twelve years old anymore.
43:43
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just we're just throwing out options here
43:46
Speaker 2: for you.
43:46
Speaker 6: And then obviously any remember the last time I had
43:49
Speaker 6: a Fanta anything.
43:51
Speaker 2: That's a good point. That's a good point. I don't
43:54
Speaker 2: or like crush orange crush. Yeah, those are your options.
44:00
Speaker 2: It looks like looks like you're going back to your
44:03
Speaker 2: childhood with orange crush, or you're going Sprite and root beer.
44:07
Speaker 2: That's kind of what I like root beer.
44:10
Speaker 7: But obviously Barks is the best.
44:12
Speaker 2: One, and of course it's the one with with with
44:15
Speaker 2: caffeine in it. But uh A and W is not bad.
44:18
Speaker 6: I truly feel like if I were, yeah, like what
44:21
Speaker 6: I feel like, if I were to give up caffeine
44:23
Speaker 6: and go through with this, I would get sick, Like
44:27
Speaker 6: with I would get sick. My eyes would start to
44:30
Speaker 6: get sunken in, I'd have dark circles under them. I
44:34
Speaker 6: would probably, like, I don't know, I feel like I
44:38
Speaker 6: would get like, truly start going through withdrawals if I
44:43
Speaker 6: gave up caffeine.
44:45
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you need to learn to like sprite
44:47
Speaker 2: is what it seems like that that that's kind of
44:50
Speaker 2: your that's kind of your option right now. Just go
44:54
Speaker 2: with water, I mean, yeah, waters. You know it's funny.
44:58
Speaker 2: I feel like if I drink nothing water, water tastes
45:01
Speaker 2: really good to me. But if I drink like a
45:03
Speaker 2: bunch of doctor peppers and I go back to water,
45:05
Speaker 2: like water's crap. Yeah, I like water too, as long
45:09
Speaker 2: as like, I feel like just water is better for
45:12
Speaker 2: me than just than just water back to doctor pepper,
45:16
Speaker 2: because doctor pepper is so good. When you go back
45:19
Speaker 2: to water, it's it's it's not great all right here
45:22
Speaker 2: you go You like, uh, you like hot apple cider. No,
45:28
Speaker 2: it's true. Apple cider's got a lot of cinnamon in it.
45:30
Speaker 2: She's not big on cinnamon. Here you go, perfect Camma
45:35
Speaker 2: mill tea.
45:36
Speaker 7: I can do some cam of meal that puts you
45:38
Speaker 7: to sleep.
45:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, says any herbal tea. So I guess it
45:41
Speaker 2: doesn't have to be have to be canonil any any caff.
45:44
Speaker 7: I could do, like decaf coffee. But there's zero point
45:47
Speaker 7: in a decaf.
45:48
Speaker 2: Coffee since there's a lot of hot chocolate with no
45:50
Speaker 2: caffeine in it.
45:52
Speaker 3: Really good laundry. You ever had a loaded tea?
45:56
Speaker 7: No, don't those have caffeine in them too?
45:58
Speaker 3: Inane?
45:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like drink.
46:00
Speaker 7: People tell me about them.
46:03
Speaker 2: Oh, here you go, lemonade and smoothies.
46:07
Speaker 3: Lemonade is good.
46:07
Speaker 7: Lemonade is good. Smoothies. But like I do this, I
46:11
Speaker 7: drink drinks like for the caffeine.
46:15
Speaker 2: Well then I don't know.
46:17
Speaker 3: I don't drink much like or anything like that, at
46:19
Speaker 3: least not anymore.
