- 1:33Speaker 6: I mean I'm batting right in between Big Mike and
- 1:35Speaker 6: Peter Burns. Are you joking like, what a what a launch?
- 1:39Speaker 6: Bad boys with y'all?
- 1:41Speaker 5: Well, I mean, definitely a downgrade once we go from
- 1:43Speaker 5: you to Peter though.
- 1:46Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that is is not my assessment to me.
- 1:50Speaker 6: I am honored you said that. I have honored you
- 1:52Speaker 6: said that.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Uh JD.
- 1:54Speaker 5: Somebody we were talking to here in studio right before
- 1:56Speaker 5: you hopped on. I gotta ask who is coordinate else
- 2:00Speaker 5: rival in the IVY League Because so I've done a
- 2:04Speaker 5: lot of different shows and me and Dallan cuff Dow shows.
- 2:07Speaker 1: He was a guy that played basketball for Columbia.
- 2:10Speaker 5: I've had great teammates that have played in the IVY League,
- 2:12Speaker 5: and there's always like that one team that every IVY
- 2:15Speaker 5: League school just does not like.
- 2:18Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I mean we're kind of the bad
- 2:19Speaker 6: boys of the IVY League. I'm not gonna lie to you.
- 2:21Speaker 6: You know, we don't like anybody. Nobody likes us, and
- 2:24Speaker 6: we love it that way. I think on on paper
- 2:27Speaker 6: we share a state with Columbia. So the Empire State
- 2:30Speaker 6: Bowl is what we played at the end of the
- 2:33Speaker 6: year when you battle for uh state of New York,
- 2:36Speaker 6: which is I mean it gets ugly.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Boys.
- 2:38Speaker 6: You think you think Auburn Alabama get ugly, this one
- 2:40Speaker 6: is there is. There's no love loss. We got stat
- 2:44Speaker 6: scores being thrashed, we got we got trust funds being
- 2:48Speaker 6: being talked about. But I will say this, anybody in
- 2:51Speaker 6: the conference, we all just kind of hate Harvard Yelle
- 2:54Speaker 6: Princeton because they're the most peakies up operation hole, you know,
- 2:58Speaker 6: like they have to throw their name around. We all know.
- 3:00Speaker 6: You get into school there the grade you want to curve,
- 3:02Speaker 6: and you can just ride that all the way to graduation.
- 3:04Speaker 6: We actually, we actually have academic integrity over at our school.
- 3:08Speaker 6: But I hope that answers your question.
- 3:10Speaker 5: No, it's actually perfect and gosh, now we've got to
- 3:13Speaker 5: rethink a lot. So my oldest son is going to
- 3:16Speaker 5: be a sophomore. He is a large human being. He
- 3:19Speaker 5: is like almost six two two fifty. I think he's
- 3:22Speaker 5: got a real chance to play some college football. But
- 3:25Speaker 5: and my wife, his mom gets mad at me because
- 3:28Speaker 5: I'm like, ever since he was little, I've envisioned him
- 3:31Speaker 5: playing in a winged helmet, but not for Michigan, not
- 3:34Speaker 5: for Delaware, for Princeton.
- 3:37Speaker 1: But you just you just made that.
- 3:38Speaker 5: I mean, you just maybe changed my mind there with
- 3:40Speaker 5: the way you said the pinky yet, because look, I
- 3:43Speaker 5: can't have a tagline of too gritty to be pretty
- 3:45Speaker 5: and then have a pinky up son.
- 3:49Speaker 6: That I'm I'm so glad you're saying that way. I'm
- 3:51Speaker 6: stu glad that you've already been fed Princeton in that
- 3:53Speaker 6: In that context, listen, you don't you don't want your
- 3:55Speaker 6: son to go to school and have a college experience
- 3:57Speaker 6: in Princeton, New Jersey. I mean, that's not nobody's nobody's
- 4:02Speaker 6: talking about their memories out. I mean also, I'll say this,
- 4:04Speaker 6: there's no Greek life, so they have eating clubs. You
- 4:06Speaker 6: don't want your son talking about eating clubs in the
- 4:08Speaker 6: college experience. You want, I'm talking about being upstate in
- 4:11Speaker 6: the orchards at a school with the dairy farm. That's
- 4:15Speaker 6: I think more sure than to britty to be pretty
- 4:18Speaker 6: mantra for you. So yeah, we'll talk off the year
- 4:20Speaker 6: we're gonna yeah together and we'll get okay.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Thing happens look fair enough, fair enough.
- 4:24Speaker 5: One of my favorite teammates ever played at Cornell, so
- 4:27Speaker 5: I can certainly get behind that eating club. I have
- 4:30Speaker 5: to text you about that. I don't know what in
- 4:31Speaker 5: the hell a eating club is, but I'll text you.
- 4:33Speaker 5: I'll get that information. Of course. JD want to have
- 4:37Speaker 5: you on Talk a little LSU Talk a little sec
- 4:41Speaker 5: but like before, I you know, throw any thoughts into
- 4:44Speaker 5: your brain. Don't want to cloud your judgment. Here your
- 4:46Speaker 5: initial thoughts on this twenty twenty five LSU football team.
- 4:52Speaker 6: I love this LG football team in twenty twenty five.
- 4:54Speaker 6: And that's not just because I'm on y'all's wonderful program
- 4:56Speaker 6: right now. It is genuinely a thing to me. Where
- 4:59Speaker 6: last time we had to talk, Jacob, last time we
- 5:02Speaker 6: got to talk together on another show that you have roling.
- 5:04Speaker 6: I was just telling you, like, the longer we go
- 5:07Speaker 6: into the offseason, the more I'm looking at LSU and
- 5:09Speaker 6: I'm running out of reasons to not like them. And
- 5:12Speaker 6: I understand there's the offensive line that you know, you're
- 5:15Speaker 6: just kind of wait and see about a little bit
- 5:18Speaker 6: when you lose a Will Campbell, and I know there's
- 5:20Speaker 6: a little bit of a hey, how to the portal
- 5:21Speaker 6: pieces fit together? But like on paper and the off
- 5:24Speaker 6: season is played on paper. I fall more and more
- 5:27Speaker 6: in love with LSU every day. And I will say
- 5:29Speaker 6: this too, because we get a lot of pushback on
- 5:30Speaker 6: our show around Brian Kelly, and I can't imagine the
- 5:32Speaker 6: same for y'all. I can't imagine anyone in the right
- 5:34Speaker 6: mind is saying a negative board about that van. But
- 5:37Speaker 6: if they are, if they are seeing if it's maybe
- 5:39Speaker 6: a reason to not be successful in twenty twenty five,
- 5:42Speaker 6: I go back and look at the course of his
- 5:43Speaker 6: career and it's like, one, really the National Championship is
- 5:46Speaker 6: really freaking hard. They only give out one a year
- 5:48Speaker 6: to one of one hundred and thirty plus teams throughout
- 5:51Speaker 6: what thirty six now, So that's the first part. The
- 5:53Speaker 6: other part is he's coached over twenty years and one
- 5:55Speaker 6: north of seventy percent of his games. Does it feel
- 5:57Speaker 6: like he's the problem? If that's the beture? For so,
- 6:00Speaker 6: I love LSJU, I love the roster of nuts, I
- 6:02Speaker 6: love all that.
- 6:04Speaker 5: I think the difference this year is going to be
- 6:07Speaker 5: like actually having depth, because like Lshu's had top line talent,
- 6:12Speaker 5: we could go with Jayden Daniels with elite neighbors and
- 6:14Speaker 5: Brian Thomas junior, like we could give you top end
- 6:17Speaker 5: talent Will Campbell like you just mentioned. But the problem
- 6:20Speaker 5: I think has been you're so paper thin in some
- 6:22Speaker 5: of these positions, Like one injury really caught like even
- 6:26Speaker 5: last year, like you have a guard Dellinger go down
- 6:29Speaker 5: in the A and M game and it was like
- 6:31Speaker 5: doomsday for you, Like at a place like LSU, like
- 6:34Speaker 5: you got to be able to have another guard that
- 6:36Speaker 5: can go in there and it's not something that's like
- 6:38Speaker 5: a blaring just deficiency for you. So I think what
- 6:42Speaker 5: they've added in the portal has created some great competition
- 6:45Speaker 5: as well, because even those portal pieces now on the
- 6:48Speaker 5: offensive line, they're not guaranteed to start. Because the players
- 6:51Speaker 5: that were brought in through high school recruiting, they knew
- 6:54Speaker 5: they had to kind of raise their level of play,
- 6:56Speaker 5: and then they played like this you know, air quote
- 6:58Speaker 5: bomb squad that they had to put against Baylor in
- 7:00Speaker 5: a bowl game, played really well against a pretty good
- 7:03Speaker 5: Baylor team. And so I think just having more bodies
- 7:06Speaker 5: that you can count on is going to help LSU
- 7:08Speaker 5: this year.
- 7:09Speaker 6: Even just the awareness to exactly what you just said,
- 7:13Speaker 6: go through a season realize, hey, what we had in
- 7:15Speaker 6: place wasn't good enough. So it felt like to me, Jacob,
- 7:18Speaker 6: that they were a team that decided to not just
- 7:23Speaker 6: participate in the portal, but actually go like win in
- 7:26Speaker 6: the portal. You know, we all have those classes where
- 7:28Speaker 6: it's like you get credit for speaking, you know, when
- 7:30Speaker 6: you raise your hand, it's like, oh, you answer a question.
- 7:32Speaker 4: Good for him.
- 7:32Speaker 6: Like they went from doing that to now actually like
- 7:35Speaker 6: making study guide, passing tests and doing more than passing tests,
- 7:38Speaker 6: doing the extra credit. And so now they got a
- 7:40Speaker 6: top two portal class according to our metrics at on
- 7:42Speaker 6: three And I think that's going to be a massive
- 7:44Speaker 6: part of this. One more thing I'll add to Garrett
- 7:47Speaker 6: Nusmeyer being in a situation now to where just mentally
- 7:51Speaker 6: knowing what he's walking into when he walks into a
- 7:53Speaker 6: semi sort of playoff situation in the month of November
- 7:57Speaker 6: early October, like when he goes and play against Alabama,
- 8:01Speaker 6: even when it was at home, you know, and that
- 8:02Speaker 6: was his first time having to deal with that kind
- 8:05Speaker 6: of pressure. And that's not to say that it got
- 8:07Speaker 6: too or didn't get to him, but now he knows
- 8:09Speaker 6: that feels like I think it's only gonna lead to
- 8:10Speaker 6: a better performance from him on the field.
- 8:14Speaker 5: This does feel like the year of the quarterback in
- 8:16Speaker 5: the SEC. So certainly Garrett Nessmeyer is right there at
- 8:19Speaker 5: the top of that conversation. But you look at DJ Lagway,
- 8:22Speaker 5: you look at Lenora Sellars, you look at everybody that's
- 8:25Speaker 5: coming back, I mean, the unknown of Arch Manning. But
- 8:29Speaker 5: you got Diego Pave you could throw into that conversation.
- 8:31Speaker 5: Who might get the headlines Matier coming over from Wazoo
- 8:35Speaker 5: and what he did in his career going to Oklahoma. Like,
- 8:38Speaker 5: from top to bottom, this is one of the best
- 8:40Speaker 5: years I can remember in the SEC. And what's funny
- 8:42Speaker 5: about the JD is the teams with the questions are
- 8:45Speaker 5: like Alabama and Georgia.
- 8:47Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, And you said Texas like the best rosters
- 8:51Speaker 6: have sort of this unknown at quarterback, which to me,
- 8:54Speaker 6: I think he was across college football even like you
- 8:56Speaker 6: said SEC, and you're absolutely correct, and we're looking to it.
- 9:00Speaker 6: Ohio State, look at that Oregon, I mean, Penn State
- 9:03Speaker 6: has the most proven thing at quarterback, and we're still
- 9:06Speaker 6: not sure if they can beat a team with the
- 9:08Speaker 6: logo of any substance. So I think going back to
- 9:12Speaker 6: the SEC what you just said that to me makes
- 9:14Speaker 6: this extremely intriguing, like you mentioned, but also I think
- 9:18Speaker 6: it just continues to favor LSU because they are the
- 9:21Speaker 6: best combination right now in my mind of what you
- 9:23Speaker 6: just said top to your roster plus approven commodity at quarterback,
- 9:28Speaker 6: and then the opportunity across the SCC of like we
- 9:30Speaker 6: don't know exactly what we're getting from Understocks and exactly
- 9:33Speaker 6: what we're getting from March Channing, and so all that
- 9:34Speaker 6: to me builds into this idea of I think LSU
- 9:37Speaker 6: will be playing in Atlanta for an SEC championship on
- 9:41Speaker 6: conference title weekend. I really do.
- 9:43Speaker 5: Yeah, one of those quarterbacks that you were mentioning across
- 9:45Speaker 5: the country, LSU's going to face in week number one.
- 9:48Speaker 1: K Klubnick.
- 9:49Speaker 5: I mean last year certainly took a lot, I mean
- 9:52Speaker 5: just continue to take big strides, I mean leaps from
- 9:56Speaker 5: what he was the year before, and it was probably
- 9:58Speaker 5: a little bit unfair of the expectation that he had
- 10:00Speaker 5: thrown on him when he was a young football player.
- 10:02Speaker 5: But I mean last year really showed what he could be,
- 10:05Speaker 5: what we all thought he was going to be. And
- 10:08Speaker 5: you talk about marquee matchups up on the blinking lights
- 10:10Speaker 5: right there, LSU Clemson their version of Death Valley primetime.
- 10:16Speaker 5: It is going to be. I know, Texas and Ohio
- 10:19Speaker 5: State is going to get like get all the conversation
- 10:22Speaker 5: game days there. But if you're giving me a game,
- 10:24Speaker 5: and not just because you know I'm gonna you know,
- 10:27Speaker 5: be there calling the game whatever, you give me a
- 10:29Speaker 5: game that I would watch from start to finish in
- 10:31Speaker 5: Week number one, how can it not be that game
- 10:33Speaker 5: between those teams and those two quarterbacks.
- 10:37Speaker 6: Oh, I mean in terms of impact, like that might
- 10:39Speaker 6: be the one when it comes to fan base vibes
- 10:42Speaker 6: that will be the most impactful. Because I mean if
- 10:46Speaker 6: Brian Kelly loses a Week one game again and he
- 10:49Speaker 6: you know, put a pretty solid fist to that table
- 10:52Speaker 6: in Vegas last week last year, I could say in
- 10:55Speaker 6: Week one he made Bills Mafia this whole thing to
- 10:58Speaker 6: get it. I mean it may be top row onto
- 11:01Speaker 6: the table, crack that thing, and I mean I'd be
- 11:03Speaker 6: here for the content that would provide. But no, I
- 11:07Speaker 6: mean also too, if you're if you're Clemson, like exactly
- 11:09Speaker 6: what we're saying with LSU as to how much they have,
- 11:12Speaker 6: you know, via the portal and the roster and the
- 11:14Speaker 6: quarterback Like it may not be so much through the portal,
- 11:17Speaker 6: but Clemson has the best for turning production, the most
- 11:19Speaker 6: turning production in all of college football. Like, if there's
- 11:22Speaker 6: another team up there with LSU saying, hey, this is
- 11:25Speaker 6: our year, uh, it's absolutely Clemson. And I mean credit
- 11:27Speaker 6: Clemson too for the way that I think they have
- 11:29Speaker 6: kind of adjusted their approach as well. And that's not
- 11:32Speaker 6: saying that Dabo's gone gung ho in the portal or
- 11:35Speaker 6: that they're you know, throwing out the biggest bag in nil.
- 11:38Speaker 6: But the thing that we've all been asking of Clemson
- 11:41Speaker 6: for a while now, it feels like, is do you
- 11:43Speaker 6: have guys on the outside that can actually separate and
- 11:47Speaker 6: strike a little bit of uneasiness into the heart of
- 11:50Speaker 6: a secondary And for the longest time that was missing
- 11:52Speaker 6: and that was what made old Clemson so good. Is
- 11:55Speaker 6: the Mike Williams, the Rtavius Scott that you go down
- 11:57Speaker 6: the line. Now you have granted their young but Bryant
- 12:01Speaker 6: westco TJ. Moore, you got the vet in Antonio Williams backs.
- 12:04Speaker 6: There's a lot more names for Clemson now where I
- 12:07Speaker 6: think they feel a lot better as to the formula
- 12:09Speaker 6: they can actually play with you making Kay club Nick
- 12:12Speaker 6: give him a lot of credit, I think nationally for
- 12:16Speaker 6: just his resilience, because I think we see a lot
- 12:18Speaker 6: of times quarterbacks play with a lot of expectations, they
- 12:20Speaker 6: play too early and then either their confidence gets bruised
- 12:24Speaker 6: or they develop bad habits or whatever it ends up being.
- 12:27Speaker 6: Kate Clubney didn't have all the success in the world
- 12:29Speaker 6: from the jump, but ended up being able to stay
- 12:32Speaker 6: the course, develop, you know, keep the maintaing the main thing.
- 12:35Speaker 6: And now looking at a season where I think a
- 12:37Speaker 6: lot of people will have him on you know, the
- 12:39Speaker 6: heights and watch list going into the year.
- 12:42Speaker 7: JD.
- 12:42Speaker 1: I do want to bounce real quick to the Big twelve.
- 12:46Speaker 5: Last year Arizona State and what a great year in
- 12:48Speaker 5: camp Scattaboo. Love watching that guy play, obviously, I mean
- 12:51Speaker 5: somebody that you know. He won the meat Heead Player
- 12:54Speaker 5: of the Year award on my own show, and so
- 12:57Speaker 5: they're going to be without him. But the Big twelve
- 12:59Speaker 5: is very interesting to be because I think they're gonna
- 13:00Speaker 5: have some really good football teams and it's going to
- 13:03Speaker 5: be a battle to see who wins that league.
- 13:05Speaker 1: But I was thinking about you the other day.
- 13:06Speaker 7: Man.
- 13:07Speaker 5: We had like three guests on my Serious x SIM show,
- 13:09Speaker 5: and they all were pointing to.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Baylor being potentially this year's Arizona State.
- 13:14Speaker 5: So I know, I know you've got something ready to
- 13:17Speaker 5: go and wax poetic about the Baylor Bears.
- 13:21Speaker 6: Well, what I would say, who has the worst I
- 13:23Speaker 6: was to win the conference? Let's just let's just bet
- 13:25Speaker 6: them because that was a few a year ago. So
- 13:27Speaker 6: maybe maybe we cash in. Yeah, but no, Man, the Bears.
- 13:30Speaker 6: I think I think doing this job at a level
- 13:34Speaker 6: where we're talking about all the teams, which is such
- 13:37Speaker 6: a blessing in a blast like, has maybe soured some
- 13:39Speaker 6: of that relationship in Waco for myself and the fan base.
- 13:42Speaker 6: I want them to know I can't quit them. I
- 13:44Speaker 6: wish I could, I can't. I can't quit them, and
- 13:46Speaker 6: this year to bring back Swier robertson their top ten
- 13:50Speaker 6: and returning production. Dave A. Randa's is the stoic of
- 13:53Speaker 6: college football. Like, there's a lot to like there, and
- 13:56Speaker 6: so I think what you just said about Baylor kind
- 14:01Speaker 6: of being that that sneaky maybe a little bit lower
- 14:03Speaker 6: or under the radar kind of team. I just I
- 14:05Speaker 6: love the way that their schedule works together, which is
- 14:07Speaker 6: funny to say because you open with Auburn and Waco.
- 14:10Speaker 6: But we talk a lot on our show about teams
- 14:13Speaker 6: that get to, you know, kind of step under the
- 14:15Speaker 6: heavy bar early on in the season. I know y'all
- 14:17Speaker 6: both played ball, so you know, like whenever you're going
- 14:20Speaker 6: to max, a lot of these different strength stafts will
- 14:22Speaker 6: have you put something on your back before you squat
- 14:25Speaker 6: that you don't actually squat with, just like fire up
- 14:28Speaker 6: the service system and you know, kind of have you
- 14:30Speaker 6: feel what it what it's like to have that that
- 14:31Speaker 6: weight on your back before you go a little lighter
- 14:33Speaker 6: and squat it Like that's Baylor when they play Auburn early,
- 14:36Speaker 6: that's Bailey when they play SMU early. That's Baily when
- 14:38Speaker 6: they play ASU early. And so if you can get
- 14:40Speaker 6: out of that stretch with one loss and find yourself
- 14:44Speaker 6: in a spot or at least one big twelve loss,
- 14:46Speaker 6: I should say, and find yourself in a spot where
- 14:48Speaker 6: you know you gotta got to work into a compete
- 14:50Speaker 6: for big Bold championship. Unbelieving all right, like like that
- 14:53Speaker 6: song and Shrek Man, I'm.
- 14:54Speaker 5: A believer, hey, and that's all you gotta have. It
- 14:57Speaker 5: is a little belief, just a little bit of faith there.
- 15:00Speaker 1: So JD. Man, we truly do appreciate your time.
- 15:02Speaker 5: Know how busy you are, so thanks for hopping on
- 15:04Speaker 5: with U and give us a couple of minutes down
- 15:05Speaker 5: here in Baton Rouge.
- 15:07Speaker 6: Always a pleasure. I appreciate y'all. Hey, Matt, welcome Man.
- 15:09Speaker 6: You're doing a phenomenal job with the Blast. Talking to
- 15:12Speaker 6: you and excited to watch y'all just absolutely continue to
- 15:15Speaker 6: skyrocket us.
- 15:16Speaker 5: Think I appreciate that. JD Man all as well. We'll
- 15:19Speaker 5: catch up again with you soon.
- 15:20Speaker 6: You'll have a great one.
- 15:25Speaker 1: JD didn't know Man's on vacation.
- 15:28Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know, what does that mean?
- 15:30Speaker 1: Me and Matt sound alike?
- 15:33Speaker 4: Not really?
- 15:33Speaker 1: Not do all white guys sound alike? Is that what
- 15:35Speaker 1: he just said?
- 15:37Speaker 4: I mean a little discrimination?
- 15:38Speaker 1: I felt like or do you feel bad he thought
- 15:42Speaker 1: Matt was here?
- 15:42Speaker 2: Maybe he's just like that doesn't have much to say ever, So.
- 15:46Speaker 5: Now now to be fair, to be fair, we had
- 15:51Speaker 5: an interview last week where it was a seventeen minute
- 15:55Speaker 5: interview and Matt asked one question.
- 15:57Speaker 1: Okay, so maybe he thought that's what was going on there.
- 16:03Speaker 7: I will take JD Bkel as one of those guys
- 16:05Speaker 7: that does his research, so he probably did watch that
- 16:07Speaker 7: and was like, oh, yeah, this guy's he holds his tongue.
- 16:09Speaker 7: So it's like one of those moments where he's like, oh,
- 16:11Speaker 7: good talking Matt, knowing he to say that word, you know.
- 16:14Speaker 4: Good talking.
- 16:16Speaker 1: Oh Flynn, such a slappy I.
- 16:19Speaker 7: Still haven't worked with him yet. That's the crazy part
- 16:21Speaker 7: I saw. I was like kind of hyped up to them.
- 16:23Speaker 2: But it would have been better if JD was like,
- 16:25Speaker 2: all right, j t Bob, see you later.
- 16:29Speaker 5: Now he knows my boy T Bob would have got
- 16:31Speaker 5: a question let me talk that long.

- 19:03Speaker 1: Well, really, I.
- 19:05Speaker 5: Was trying to explain this to EJ ej Man and
- 19:08Speaker 5: my co host on off campus. He was like, Okay, well,
- 19:12Speaker 5: like I'm from He's from Virginia. It's like I'm from Virginia,
- 19:15Speaker 5: like we do consider that the South. I'm like, yeah,
- 19:18Speaker 5: I think a lot of people consider Virginia the South,
- 19:20Speaker 5: like maybe technically, yes, it is, you know, you know,
- 19:24Speaker 5: and which are talking about it? And he's like, you know,
- 19:26Speaker 5: and then I went to Florida State. That's the southeast.
- 19:28Speaker 5: He's like, you went to l s U. That's that's
- 19:30Speaker 5: the southeast. I'm like, I said, I don't know. He's like,
- 19:35Speaker 5: what do you mean. It's like, we're Louisiana. He's like, yeah, no, no, no, no,
- 19:38Speaker 5: Louisiana South. I was like, no, no, no, like we're Louisiana.
- 19:41Speaker 1: He's like, what do you mean. It's like, well, I mean.
- 19:44Speaker 4: If you know, you know, it's kind of like that,
- 19:46Speaker 4: if you know, you know.
- 19:47Speaker 5: It's like the South is Alabama and Mississippi and like
- 19:51Speaker 5: and you still, you know, people like the Southeast. I
- 19:53Speaker 5: think of like Georgia and Florida, and I think of
- 19:56Speaker 5: the Carolina's ye, both South. I was like, Louisiana's like, right,
- 20:00Speaker 5: we're Louisiana.
- 20:01Speaker 1: Yeah. Like I was like, look, if you don't know
- 20:03Speaker 1: what I'm saying, then we're not ever going to get there.
- 20:05Speaker 7: But I was like kind of our own thing really though,
- 20:07Speaker 7: I mean, where else could you go in the world.
- 20:10Speaker 5: I just think it's so like the state from top
- 20:12Speaker 5: to bottom. There's so many different versions of Louisiana. It's
- 20:15Speaker 5: just Louisiana.
- 20:16Speaker 7: Well, like I was saying, like where else could you
- 20:18Speaker 7: go in the world. You can go to the gas station,
- 20:20Speaker 7: get you a hot plate, and get you some liquor,
- 20:23Speaker 7: all in the same. Like it don't got to be
- 20:25Speaker 7: It can be ten o'clock at night. You know, some
- 20:27Speaker 7: places the liquor still close at a certain time, so
- 20:29Speaker 7: you can't even go get something. You can go to
- 20:30Speaker 7: the gas station and get your plate of food, some liquor,
- 20:34Speaker 7: lotto tickets, whatever, like that's on Louisiana shirt.
- 20:38Speaker 2: Just understand, Like Louisiana is a vibe, no offense. Virginia's
- 20:42Speaker 2: kind of laying yeah, oh what's cool about Virginia. About Virginia,
- 20:46Speaker 2: Virginia's not bad, not bad.
- 20:49Speaker 4: I don't even know.
- 20:50Speaker 2: It's not like Virginia Tech.
- 20:51Speaker 4: They're not even good anymore.
- 20:52Speaker 7: Like what, I couldn't tell you nothing about Virginia. I
- 20:55Speaker 7: might say something about me though, because I don't Other
- 20:57Speaker 7: than like the I know it's the d MB, you know,
- 20:59Speaker 7: the mv area.
- 21:00Speaker 5: But ghoft South says Louisiana, Texas, and Florida are their
- 21:04Speaker 5: own places.
- 21:06Speaker 4: Yeah, I can agree with that.
- 21:07Speaker 5: Florida's got a little bit of like Louisiana as far
- 21:09Speaker 5: as like the panhandles different than Orlando. Orlando's different than Tampa.
- 21:13Speaker 5: Tampa is certainly different than the Miami area. So it's
- 21:17Speaker 5: got a lot of, you know, different types of people
- 21:20Speaker 5: in the same state as well, like different cultures and
- 21:22Speaker 5: different just things that they do within said cultures.
- 21:25Speaker 7: So I'm not even behind that about to say especially
- 21:28Speaker 7: Texas too though, because Texas is driving through Texas that's
- 21:32Speaker 7: like one of the worst things you can do. It's
- 21:34Speaker 7: it's unbearable, unbearable, unbearable, man.
- 21:39Speaker 2: Uh.
- 21:40Speaker 5: Tristan Abert, I just moved to Virginia last year after
- 21:43Speaker 5: my whole life in Louisiana.
- 21:44Speaker 1: Not a day goes by that I don't miss home.
- 21:46Speaker 4: Thank you.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Virginia just seems like it sucks, really though, Like, what
- 21:50Speaker 2: what do you go do out there?
- 21:51Speaker 4: What's what's a popping city?
- 21:53Speaker 2: Everybody's gonna say beaches, Virginia Beaches. I guarantee you suck.
- 21:58Speaker 1: That's where he is from. Virginia Beach, Junia Beach.
- 22:00Speaker 5: Like, okay, now you look, you look at who's come
- 22:03Speaker 5: out of that area though, Like sports wise.
- 22:06Speaker 4: Michael Vick Virginia, Virginia is a great.
- 22:08Speaker 5: Percy Harvin, I mean Harven dogs that spot. EJ and
- 22:14Speaker 5: Percy played AAU basketball thing together growing really, yeah.
- 22:18Speaker 2: See why did EJ And and Percy Harvin leave the
- 22:22Speaker 2: state to go to college? Because I couldn't wait to
- 22:24Speaker 2: leave Virginia, guys.
- 22:25Speaker 5: Pretty good, pretty good argument for you. I mean EJ
- 22:30Speaker 5: was like an inch from coming to l s U. Really,
- 22:34Speaker 5: I mean, so EJ would have been the quarterback on
- 22:37Speaker 5: the eleven team.
- 22:39Speaker 7: Oh my goodness. I know that's funny you say that
- 22:41Speaker 7: because I was watching them.
- 22:43Speaker 5: He was like, like, so, Jimbo got the job at
- 22:46Speaker 5: Florida State and that's why he brought him.
- 22:48Speaker 1: And yeah, but I mean he was a heir from
- 22:51Speaker 1: going to l s U.
- 22:52Speaker 7: That would have been beautiful because go watch that, you know,
- 22:54Speaker 7: the Alabama game, the seven zero game, well seven whatever,
- 22:57Speaker 7: the greatest game of the century. Jordan Jefferson was Yeah,
- 23:00Speaker 7: Jordan Jefferson was terrible and the other guy Lee was
- 23:03Speaker 7: got off with. So I'm like, bro, this is quarterback
- 23:05Speaker 7: play a decade ago. This is dude, Jefferson stunk. And
- 23:10Speaker 7: then I think Lee threw a pick on the first
- 23:12Speaker 7: player or something. They benched him immediately immediately, and I
- 23:15Speaker 7: was like, yeah, this, this is this is hard to watch.
- 23:18Speaker 7: And Asian McCarron wasn't nothing special either, but he was
- 23:20Speaker 7: just making the right place. So it was like, quarterback
- 23:22Speaker 7: play a decade ago is way different than.
- 23:24Speaker 1: It and look at it. What it's that right now
- 23:26Speaker 1: in the sec.
- 23:27Speaker 5: Yeah, you have thriving quarterback play. All right, TATA is
- 23:32Speaker 5: the time now for the NFL Story of the Day Day.
- 23:38Speaker 3: It's time for tata's NFL Story of the Day day,
- 23:41Speaker 3: your daily dose of NFL news from Taylor Sharp.
- 23:45Speaker 2: We got two quick ones here, and we'll start with
- 23:48Speaker 2: the fun one, the one that doesn't make me mad.
- 23:51Speaker 2: Derrick Henry might be in the next Adam Sandler movie
- 23:54Speaker 2: if he rushes for two thousand yards. So, Derrick Henry
- 23:57Speaker 2: was on the Dan Patrick Show back on Tuesday, and
- 24:01Speaker 2: Patrick told Henry, because and Patrick and Adam Sandler are
- 24:04Speaker 2: good friends, that he would get Derrick Henry in an
- 24:08Speaker 2: Adam Sandler movie if he ran for two thousand yards
- 24:10Speaker 2: again this season, and Just two days after that, Adam
- 24:14Speaker 2: Sandler made a video sending it to Derrick Henry and
- 24:18Speaker 2: he said, two thousand yards this year not only gets
- 24:20Speaker 2: you in a movie, but we'll have a nice dinner
- 24:22Speaker 2: together and talk trash about Dan Patrick. So it's it's
- 24:26Speaker 2: kind of a little fun thing they're doing there, a
- 24:27Speaker 2: little extra incentive because apparently Derrick Henry was saying that
- 24:31Speaker 2: he is a big fan of the Adam Sandler movie.
- 24:34Speaker 2: So Derrick Henry may be putting his acting chops to
- 24:38Speaker 2: use if he rushes for two k again this year.
- 24:42Speaker 2: That's the fun one. Okay, not so fun one is
- 24:47Speaker 2: Shamar Stewart. So Shamar Stewart, for those who don't know,
- 24:52Speaker 2: drafted out of Texas A and m all on potential
- 24:54Speaker 2: because he did well next to nothing this year in
- 24:57Speaker 2: college football. He has not signed his rookie contract yet.
- 25:02Speaker 2: He has left mandatory mini camp with the Cincinnati Bengals.
- 25:05Speaker 2: And it's not because the Bengals are low balling him,
- 25:08Speaker 2: because I originally was like, okay, they're notorious for doing this,
- 25:11Speaker 2: but he was set to get eighteen point four million
- 25:14Speaker 2: base on where he was drafted.
- 25:16Speaker 4: That's what he was going to get.
- 25:18Speaker 2: But the Bengals were trying to put language in the
- 25:21Speaker 2: contract essentially saying that they would be allowed to avoid
- 25:26Speaker 2: any guaranteed money if he were to get in trouble,
- 25:28Speaker 2: get suspended for any reason, or be cut by the team,
- 25:32Speaker 2: they would void any of the future guaranteed money. And
- 25:35Speaker 2: Chamar Stewart has completely walked away from the table. And
- 25:39Speaker 2: there is rumors now that according to the CBA, which
- 25:45Speaker 2: was modified recently, Stewart could actually re enter the NFL
- 25:49Speaker 2: Draft in twenty twenty six. So if he is not
- 25:52Speaker 2: signed by November eleventh with any team, he could sit
- 25:56Speaker 2: out the remainder of the year and actually re enter
- 25:58Speaker 2: the draft in twenty six. I don't think we'll see
- 26:04Speaker 2: that happen. I mean, that's obviously I can't remember that
- 26:06Speaker 2: ever happening before. But look, I don't know how much
- 26:10Speaker 2: leverage Stewart has here. He wasn't super productive at A
- 26:13Speaker 2: and M. I imagine that's why they wanted to add
- 26:16Speaker 2: that clause in case he was cut. He left the
- 26:19Speaker 2: Senior Bowl early. If you remember, you probably remember that
- 26:22Speaker 2: you were down there are now he's left the mandatory
- 26:25Speaker 2: mini camp. I understand you want the contract a certain way,
- 26:27Speaker 2: but I don't. I think this is a bad look
- 26:30Speaker 2: for him. I think this is a bad look for
- 26:31Speaker 2: the Bengals. I mean there's just a lot to unpack here.
- 26:36Speaker 5: Yeah, what are we doing here? I mean we now
- 26:39Speaker 5: have slotted money. Yeah, and he's in the draft like
- 26:46Speaker 5: we have. Hey, this is what this pick got last year.
- 26:49Speaker 5: Here's what he's going to get this year. And there's
- 26:52Speaker 5: certain ways we do contracts so we don't have to
- 26:54Speaker 5: deal with this anymore. Remember we used to have holdouts
- 26:57Speaker 5: all the time. Well in the training camp. Nobody does
- 27:00Speaker 5: that anymore. So like the Bengals, they got to stop
- 27:06Speaker 5: doing stupid stuff, Like the Bengals have to run their
- 27:09Speaker 5: organization like they have a generational star at quarterback yep,
- 27:15Speaker 5: and stop bawling on a budget like you spend the
- 27:18Speaker 5: money on receivers, but like Trey Hendrickson's just chilling.
- 27:22Speaker 2: I'm using the Chamal I'm moving on from Shamal or Stewart.
- 27:25Speaker 2: I'm using them money on Trey Hendrickson.
- 27:28Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think that relationships cool. I think
- 27:30Speaker 7: it's already damn it.
- 27:31Speaker 4: I don't. I don't think he will play there again.
- 27:33Speaker 5: So so you would get a compick if you don't
- 27:36Speaker 5: sign him, you.
- 27:37Speaker 2: Would that's my next question. Well, since I'm thinking treated
- 27:40Speaker 2: like the Bengals didn't have a first round pick this year,
- 27:42Speaker 2: just give him two next year like something like that.
- 27:45Speaker 2: But I mentioned Stewart could be drafted again in twenty
- 27:48Speaker 2: twenty six, but according to the CBA, any team can
- 27:51Speaker 2: draft him except for the Cincinnati Bengals, so they're not
- 27:55Speaker 2: allowed to redraft the player, even though they wouldn't anyways
- 27:57Speaker 2: because that relationship would be completely for actioned. But yeah,
- 28:01Speaker 2: he could actually re enter. So it's November eleventh is
- 28:05Speaker 2: the last day to sign. If he doesn't, he could
- 28:09Speaker 2: sit out the whole year, re enter.
- 28:12Speaker 1: The Bengals keep on being the Bengals. It's just man.
- 28:15Speaker 7: So I was watching the Pat mcavie show and he
- 28:17Speaker 7: had Adam Adam Shefter on there talking about it, and
- 28:20Speaker 7: he's like, dude, it would it should take three minutes
- 28:23Speaker 7: to sign your rookie, Like it's that's how easy to
- 28:25Speaker 7: see show. He set up like it's in there for
- 28:28Speaker 7: you to have this money already ready to go, and
- 28:30Speaker 7: he's like they're sitting there trying to like you said
- 28:33Speaker 7: put this clause in there, but you didn't do that.
- 28:35Speaker 7: To nobody else. So it's like he doesn't want to
- 28:37Speaker 7: be the guinea pig in the situation and set that
- 28:40Speaker 7: president that Okay, well I'm going to be the test
- 28:43Speaker 7: dummy on this new whatever. So that's what Adam Scheff
- 28:45Speaker 7: was saying.
- 28:46Speaker 2: I know he doesn't want it in his clause. I
- 28:48Speaker 2: get that. I don't know what you think about shim
- 28:51Speaker 2: Ar Stewart. To me, there's a reason the Bengals shows
- 28:53Speaker 2: to do it to him. I mean, just outside looking in.
- 28:55Speaker 2: I don't know the situation, but.
- 28:58Speaker 7: Bengals are being being I mean, I just I mean, yeah.
- 29:03Speaker 7: Chefter was like, dude, it should take three minutes.
- 29:04Speaker 1: There's no reason, there's not there's not is slotted.
- 29:07Speaker 5: Give them what everybody else got in those slots around him.
- 29:12Speaker 5: You got to guarantee some money. Get over it, do
- 29:14Speaker 5: the deal. You have two pass rushers right now that
- 29:17Speaker 5: are sitting at home and not at your camp, and
- 29:19Speaker 5: you just paid these receivers because you're going for it now.
- 29:23Speaker 5: If you're going for it now, that doesn't mean you
- 29:26Speaker 5: have step into it. That means you fully jump into it.
- 29:28Speaker 5: Stop being the Bengals, go go figure it out. It's
- 29:31Speaker 5: super easy, all right, Peter Burns SEC Network joins us

- 31:09Speaker 6: little hungover from last night. I'm here in mystical at
- 31:12Speaker 6: nine point thirty. I'm I'm ready, I'm ready to go.
- 31:15Speaker 5: Uh yeah, I mean today, Jordan, our producer, has done
- 31:18Speaker 5: a great job all Louisiana. Basically today everything's about Louisiana
- 31:22Speaker 5: and LSU. We're trying to say good vibes there to
- 31:24Speaker 5: you in Omaha.
- 31:26Speaker 6: We're gonna need it. It is. It's a weird vibe
- 31:30Speaker 6: because we got out here. Normally, we get out here
- 31:31Speaker 6: first day, so we always have an SEC team to cover.
- 31:36Speaker 6: And now like this whole side of the bracket doesn't
- 31:39Speaker 6: have any SEC squad. It's the fewest amount of SEC
- 31:42Speaker 6: squads that we've had here since I think twenty sixteen,
- 31:44Speaker 6: back when coastth Carolina win. So the vibes are a
- 31:47Speaker 6: little bit different so far. But let's be honest with you,
- 31:51Speaker 6: unless you still went in the jello shot challenge, so
- 31:53Speaker 6: we at least got the good vibes that are going
- 31:55Speaker 6: on at Rockers, right.
- 31:56Speaker 1: Uh yeah.
- 31:57Speaker 5: The surest bet I think in Omaha is that LSU
- 32:01Speaker 5: is going to drink the most Jello shots and UCLA
- 32:03Speaker 5: is going to drink the least amount of yellow shots.
- 32:06Speaker 6: I mean that was that was like this, does Flynn
- 32:09Speaker 6: still have the same energy on a Friday as we
- 32:11Speaker 6: have it on Monday? Like these these are things that
- 32:13Speaker 6: we're all trying to figure out. Here is the show
- 32:15Speaker 6: to roll off?
- 32:16Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, peebe? How about this? Right?
- 32:19Speaker 5: So Flynn takes over for t Bob, he does seven
- 32:21Speaker 5: straight days. Was feeling himself after doing seven straight days
- 32:25Speaker 5: and then he's in uh Turks and k Ghost there
- 32:28Speaker 5: for the last three days.
- 32:29Speaker 6: I don't blame them. I don't blame them honestly at
- 32:32Speaker 6: that point, like that's why I do three days of
- 32:34Speaker 6: radio a week. I'm just like, man if I had
- 32:36Speaker 6: to put up a test for five straight days, probably
- 32:38Speaker 6: need back. Like this is what's impressive is that was
- 32:41Speaker 6: part of his contract. When I'm doing the morning show
- 32:43Speaker 6: with you, that Gordy and the guys who are like, yeah,
- 32:46Speaker 6: you're right, let's go ahead. And that's that's that'll work.
- 32:48Speaker 6: You know, so seven days on it's like the guys
- 32:50Speaker 6: that work off shore, we're off front of Homo. It's
- 32:52Speaker 6: like seven days on, you know, two weeks off in person,
- 32:55Speaker 6: ko works well, load load load advantaging. Be I appreciate that.
- 33:01Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that is such a Flinn thing.
- 33:02Speaker 5: Like we set the line and we had we asked
- 33:05Speaker 5: like everybody that came on. I think it was Joe
- 33:07Speaker 5: Sloan that that came over, like, hey, what's what's Flynn's
- 33:10Speaker 5: the line? Like, if you're a Vegas setting the line
- 33:12Speaker 5: for every week, how many days he's going to make it?
- 33:14Speaker 1: He set it it three and a half. And that
- 33:16Speaker 1: feels like the perfect number.
- 33:18Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean three enough hook is a good number.
- 33:20Speaker 6: I don't you know. I feel like at that point though,
- 33:23Speaker 6: like he can't put money on it because then he
- 33:26Speaker 6: would go to him actually place the money on four,
- 33:29Speaker 6: like the over, just because the odds are in his
- 33:31Speaker 6: favorite he'd be there. But man, it's it's fun. This
- 33:34Speaker 6: is this is my favorite week. I we we broke
- 33:37Speaker 6: it down with Todd Walker yesterday. David ULITCHI will be
- 33:40Speaker 6: out here Tomorrow's batteries. The counselman that's right. You know
- 33:43Speaker 6: we'll be out here breaking it down. But I mean,
- 33:46Speaker 6: right for this jump man Lsu Arkansas good versus good.
- 33:49Speaker 6: I had d Van Horn on yesterday, and I tell
- 33:52Speaker 6: you what, like, I definitely one thousand percent pool for Lsu.
- 33:56Speaker 6: But if Arkansas wins his whole thing, it ain't gonna
- 33:59Speaker 6: kill me because to his day Van Horne man like
- 34:01Speaker 6: that guy.
- 34:02Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard that a lot last week.
- 34:04Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, like he told a story about how
- 34:07Speaker 6: he was he was trying to get Todd Walker to
- 34:12Speaker 6: commit when he was a Texarkana juco coach and he's like, man,
- 34:15Speaker 6: I was trying. I was trying to I was like
- 34:16Speaker 6: I had Todd Walker locked in, Like Todd Walker's coming
- 34:19Speaker 6: to text Arcana Baby, It's gonna be great. And then
- 34:22Speaker 6: skip Bertman's like you want to come, Melishee, and Todd's like, yeah, yeah,
- 34:26Speaker 6: it worked out well.
- 34:28Speaker 1: Yeah, worn't that well for Todd. Todd. Todd did okay
- 34:31Speaker 1: for himself there.
- 34:32Speaker 5: And you know, there's only two SEC teams and so
- 34:35Speaker 5: it is different than past years and they're playing each other.
- 34:39Speaker 5: But but it is going to be a heavyweight pay
- 34:44Speaker 5: per view. Mike Tyson in nineteen eighty seven title bout
- 34:49Speaker 5: like it is going to be like two of the
- 34:51Speaker 5: best fan bases, I think, the two best fan bases
- 34:54Speaker 5: in college baseball in Omaha rooting against each other. So
- 34:59Speaker 5: it might only be too teams pbe they might be
- 35:01Speaker 5: playing each other. But whatever the peak of an opening
- 35:04Speaker 5: round game in Omaha can be, that's what you're going
- 35:07Speaker 5: to see tomorrow night.
- 35:09Speaker 6: Yeah, Saturday night, right. I mean, the weather's supposed to
- 35:12Speaker 6: be great. I mean LSU fans have already shown up
- 35:14Speaker 6: here in throws. I've seen a lot of razorback fans
- 35:16Speaker 6: as well too. And the importance ester of winning game one. Right.
- 35:21Speaker 6: Out of the last forty three champions, thirty nine of
- 35:24Speaker 6: them won their game one. And actually every time the
- 35:27Speaker 6: LSU's won it all seven times if they won a title,
- 35:30Speaker 6: they won their first game. So the importance of you
- 35:33Speaker 6: know Cade versus you know zach Rude is incredible. Now
- 35:38Speaker 6: you know me and you know me and me and Todverert.
- 35:41Speaker 6: The last night we're talking about, you know, the lineup
- 35:42Speaker 6: and how Jay's been changed up the lineup, which you
- 35:45Speaker 6: know again he said, Hey, these guys aren't major leaguers.
- 35:47Speaker 6: They don't they aren't just set to one place in
- 35:50Speaker 6: the lineup. We can move them around depending on how
- 35:52Speaker 6: we do it. But we started getting like listening they'd
- 35:55Speaker 6: be like nine drinks. Then last night we're like, wait
- 35:58Speaker 6: a minute. If you're looking at the entire bracket and
- 36:00Speaker 6: you assume U c l A odd jar that they'll
- 36:04Speaker 6: they'll take out Murray State tomorrow like they beat him,
- 36:09Speaker 6: and U c l A has a ton of lefties,
- 36:11Speaker 6: and so do you saved kid and throw him in
- 36:15Speaker 6: the second one and then you throw ianson to absolutely
- 36:18Speaker 6: crushed Arkansas lineup that last time. And Todd looks at
- 36:23Speaker 6: me and he goes, yeah, we need to stop drinking.
- 36:25Speaker 6: So yeah, that might be a bridge too far.
- 36:29Speaker 5: Uh So we had we had Mikey Matak here for
- 36:32Speaker 5: an hour with us today PB and we were talking
- 36:34Speaker 5: about some of the you know, different scenarios and different
- 36:37Speaker 5: things and kind of the same conversation. He's just like, look,
- 36:40Speaker 5: you don't ever think this deal. It's omahall, it's game one.
- 36:43Speaker 5: You go out there and you just get it done.
- 36:45Speaker 5: But like, honestly, no matter how like LSU format, if
- 36:48Speaker 5: it was Ironson today and they had Anderson or Anderson
- 36:51Speaker 5: and then Ironson Nobody is set up in this tournament.
- 36:55Speaker 5: This isn't just purple and gold glasses between you and I.
- 36:58Speaker 5: Nobody in this tournament is set up better for a
- 37:00Speaker 5: game two on the mound than LSU, regardless if it's
- 37:03Speaker 5: in the winner's bracket or losers bracket.
- 37:05Speaker 6: Yeah, because there's a one A, one B. Yeah right,
- 37:07Speaker 6: I mean this is not you know, in twenty three,
- 37:10Speaker 6: it was Schemes was your guy, and then you threw
- 37:12Speaker 6: everybody at else and to good starters as well, and
- 37:16Speaker 6: a good bullpen, but it was more of you had
- 37:18Speaker 6: your one workhorse.
- 37:20Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 37:21Speaker 6: Now it's like, all right, well you got that. And
- 37:23Speaker 6: then the way that Evans pitched and he shoved last
- 37:25Speaker 6: time with a nine straight strikeout, I mean you're like,
- 37:27Speaker 6: all right, well we've got that set up as well.
- 37:29Speaker 6: I'll be honest with you. Cooper Williams, the freshman, Yeah,
- 37:34Speaker 6: I mean him doing that and that was such a
- 37:36Speaker 6: high leverage spot. I couldn't believe how well he pitched
- 37:41Speaker 6: because I got worried of that game. It's four two
- 37:43Speaker 6: the vibes, which is dead in the box. And when
- 37:46Speaker 6: he got you, when he came out there just painting
- 37:50Speaker 6: the play, I mean he was just putting. He was
- 37:52Speaker 6: spotting at everything he wanted to. That got the crowd
- 37:54Speaker 6: back into it, and then LSU got bats, got into it,
- 37:57Speaker 6: and then they were off for the races.
- 38:00Speaker 5: What's the weather like there in omahall PBu, It's terrible
- 38:04Speaker 5: here in Baton Rouge. And we know if we had
- 38:06Speaker 5: a region or super regional that this thing wouldn't get
- 38:08Speaker 5: started until probably ten pm.
- 38:10Speaker 1: What's the weather like there in Omaha?
- 38:12Speaker 6: I mean hot and alcoholics as a basically because LSU
- 38:18Speaker 6: was in town. Actually, what's funny is they were telling
- 38:20Speaker 6: me that they had been really crappy weather all year long.
- 38:23Speaker 6: It had been like, I mean, just nasty, rainy, and
- 38:26Speaker 6: this was the first sunny week that they've had. And
- 38:29Speaker 6: this thing, man, and I think you've done it before.
- 38:33Speaker 6: And you know, so many of the people listening have
- 38:36Speaker 6: made the trek up here. If you haven't, it's as
- 38:40Speaker 6: good of a bucket list item because it's probably the
- 38:43Speaker 6: last really really pure sporting event that I think that's
- 38:46Speaker 6: out there. You know. Okayc is good for women's College
- 38:50Speaker 6: Wow series as well too, but man, this event. This
- 38:53Speaker 6: ballpark's downtown, The bars are downtown, the restaurants are great.
- 38:56Speaker 6: Everybody's been a good food and and in Nebraska basically
- 39:00Speaker 6: at Omaha has adopted LSU because it's the success over
- 39:03Speaker 6: the last four decades.
- 39:05Speaker 5: Yeah, we were talking about that all throughout the week.
- 39:08Speaker 5: It's not like college football. It's not like the Final
- 39:10Speaker 5: Four where it rotates. And I get, you know why
- 39:14Speaker 5: it does that. I understand the dollars and cents of it.
- 39:17Speaker 5: But to have one spot, and you mentioned Oklahoma City
- 39:20Speaker 5: and softball and baseball, it's Omaha. To have like that
- 39:23Speaker 5: one spot that you know, this is what we're working towards.
- 39:25Speaker 5: We're working towards Omaha, and you can envision it. You
- 39:28Speaker 5: can see yourself in that stadium. We just we don't
- 39:32Speaker 5: have anything like that. And it does remind me. I
- 39:34Speaker 5: was saying this earlier, like about like high school football
- 39:37Speaker 5: in Louisiana, it was all about getting to the Superdome,
- 39:40Speaker 5: get to the Superdome. You broke it down on super Dome,
- 39:43Speaker 5: you know, in July, and that's kind of what Omaha has,
- 39:46Speaker 5: and we just don't have that anymore. So it's just
- 39:48Speaker 5: a completely different feel. Like you and I have covered games,
- 39:51Speaker 5: like I covered a National championship game between Georgia and
- 39:54Speaker 5: TCU and La not a swinging soul knew we were
- 39:58Speaker 5: there to cover that game. When you drive up or
- 40:00Speaker 5: pull up to Omaha, you know exactly why you're there.
- 40:04Speaker 6: Oh, I'm getting my rental car, you know, here at
- 40:07Speaker 6: the airport and they're like, who's your team? And I asked,
- 40:10Speaker 6: I asked the guy who's the team. He's like, man,
- 40:12Speaker 6: LSU And I like, okay, Like, are you from there?
- 40:15Speaker 6: He goes, Nope, he goes, I just I just love
- 40:17Speaker 6: it because like everybody has made this like a destination.
- 40:20Speaker 6: He's like, every time I get here, he goes, I
- 40:23Speaker 6: love fans like, He's like, we see all different dans, famis.
- 40:26Speaker 6: He's like, I don't like Texas fan base. He's like
- 40:29Speaker 6: they're not cool. He's like Pack twelve scenes like they
- 40:31Speaker 6: were never really kind of cool to us. He's like,
- 40:33Speaker 6: LSU fans like aston as they show up, you know
- 40:36Speaker 6: who they are, and they're like the nicest people. And
- 40:39Speaker 6: I'm like, well, you haven't been to a Tiger. You
- 40:42Speaker 6: never been to a seat of that death valley where
- 40:44Speaker 6: in the other tweek's color set. But uh, it's it's
- 40:48Speaker 6: gonna be good man And again we were breaking down
- 40:50Speaker 6: all kit called yesterday and their fans have been great too.
- 40:53Speaker 6: In that lineup, is I mean they did all that
- 40:56Speaker 6: work in regionals in super regions A Lloyd or Lloyd
- 41:00Speaker 6: Brothers didn't even play well, right, Like that's the scary
- 41:03Speaker 6: part right now. This Davalon kid at the top of
- 41:05Speaker 6: the lineup is, I mean, this kid is unbelievable.
- 41:10Speaker 5: Predictions on maybe how it goes, you can, like, you
- 41:15Speaker 5: can give them an LSU Arkansas. I know you like
- 41:16Speaker 5: working for the network, So if you want to leave
- 41:18Speaker 5: that one off, that's fine, But like maybe day one
- 41:20Speaker 5: between all the games. Coastal, Arizona, Oregon State, Louisville, you
- 41:24Speaker 5: see LA Murray State, how do you see that plan out?
- 41:26Speaker 1: PB?
- 41:27Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I like, I like Coastal. It's not
- 41:33Speaker 6: just the twenty three twenty four game win streak. It
- 41:36Speaker 6: just they do everything really well and it doesn't and
- 41:38Speaker 6: the like and just watching them and practice yesterday, I mean,
- 41:42Speaker 6: like there's certain people you can tell that like they're
- 41:44Speaker 6: taking it in like Wow, this is awesome. Like Coastal
- 41:47Speaker 6: work like a team that's like, yeah, this is game
- 41:49Speaker 6: seventy five of a one hundred and sixty two game series.
- 41:52Speaker 6: You know, like just the way that they've carried themselves.
- 41:54Speaker 6: I like, I like Coastal on that side of the
- 41:57Speaker 6: bracket and on and honestly, and I know it's going
- 42:00Speaker 6: to be a cop out that I was like, I
- 42:01Speaker 6: like Coastal versus the winner of Saturday Night from LSU
- 42:04Speaker 6: in Arkansas. I mean, it's that simple because you get
- 42:07Speaker 6: such a leg up if you when you win that
- 42:11Speaker 6: first game in Omaha. And you know this is basically
- 42:15Speaker 6: like the Spider Man meme of Arkansas at LSU pointing
- 42:19Speaker 6: at each other right now, now.
- 42:20Speaker 1: I agree with you wholeheartedly.
- 42:21Speaker 5: There, man, it is going to be again just must
- 42:24Speaker 5: watch TV, just a heavyweight title.
- 42:26Speaker 1: But I can't wait to watch it.
- 42:27Speaker 5: Pebe on the way out, like Derek Dooley used to
- 42:30Speaker 5: tell us, they will brew more beer in Omaha.
- 42:33Speaker 1: You don't have to consume it all in one night.
- 42:36Speaker 6: We're gonna try and listen. I think would have been
- 42:39Speaker 6: in good shape. Have we just stuck the beer. We'll
- 42:40Speaker 6: just put it that way, we just stuck the beer,
- 42:43Speaker 6: would be in good shape. Now I'll rally for our
- 42:46Speaker 6: show at ten pm tonight, so I'll be I'll be.
- 42:49Speaker 1: Okay, Phebe, you're the man, we appreciate you joining us.
- 42:52Speaker 5: Man enjoy the trip, and if LSU makes it to
- 42:55Speaker 5: the Championship Series, Sir, I will try to find my
- 42:57Speaker 5: way to be there with you.
- 43:00Speaker 6: Uh, we'll find, we'll find, we'll find that Splints private
- 43:03Speaker 6: jet and will make sure we do the show up there.
- 43:05Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not too far off what I'm thinking.
- 43:07Speaker 6: So we'll splin some of that Seattle Seahawks Trust Fund month.
- 43:11Speaker 5: I'm all right, p be appreciate it good, all right,
- 43:15Speaker 5: Peter Burns boots on the ground sec nowhere. Colleague gets

- 43:28Speaker 5: it up like we always do. Getting to your ask

- 43:44Speaker 5: weather coming.
- 43:45Speaker 1: Can you imagine?
- 43:47Speaker 5: Can you imagine if you were getting ready to watch
- 43:49Speaker 5: the game tomorrow night your power goes out and you
- 43:54Speaker 5: haven't had Boudro's Electrical over to install that whole home generator,
- 43:59Speaker 5: Because if you have had them out, you got peace

- 44:58Speaker 5: was here the whole time.
- 44:59Speaker 1: Still you can't.
- 45:05Speaker 7: You just gotta give him the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes,
- 45:07Speaker 7: you know, you gotta hit him with the thanks for talking, Matt,
- 45:10Speaker 7: you know, thanks for chiming.
- 45:12Speaker 5: Like he's an Ivy leaguer. He's smarter than all of us,
- 45:14Speaker 5: so maybe he just outplayed us all. Uh, ask the bench,
- 45:18Speaker 5: did we spend enough time enjoying Tennessee going down?
- 45:22Speaker 4: Yes?
- 45:23Speaker 2: I don't really think about Tennessee that much. Like, yeah,
- 45:26Speaker 2: I'd spend enough time.

- 45:48Speaker 5: what it's like snack. That thing changes versatile with my
- 45:52Speaker 5: snacks and a beef jerkey and go candy.

- 46:20Speaker 1: I love Nashville.
- 46:21Speaker 4: Denver.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Denver's great too.
- 46:23Speaker 7: Denver felt like there was in twenty twenty seven. I
