  Speaker 4: got to pay, the franchise fee and all that, and
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: like put all that money into it. And I know
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: that that spot that they picked on Burbank was not cheap.

  Speaker 3: Yeah.

  Speaker 4: chili dogs for only six bucks?
• 10:17

• 10:26
  Speaker 5: on the menu it's like six ninety nine. I could
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: be wrong on that it might be a little bit more,

• 18:02
  Speaker 3: All right, Ta ta, I'm gonna throw this one to you.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: And know there's a story up on Louisiana Sports dot
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Net talking about the offensive line giving a shout out
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: to bo borderline as well. In the offensive line is
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: a unit that well, it has to go way up
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: from what it was a year ago. You were one
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: of the worst in the Southeastern Conference. A year ago.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: You couldn't run block, you couldn't pass block, and we
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: call that a bad recipe for success.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: So this year it's a point of emphasis.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: They've brought in obviously new coaches, they've brought in new
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: assistant offensive line coaches, they've brought in a new offensive
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: line for the most part outside of a couple of guys.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: So the LSU offensive line gotten some praise over the
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: last couple of days. And I know there's a story
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: up on louisianasports dot Net.
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah it.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: Hunt put it out on on ls said, if you
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: want to go check it out, it's greaty he just mentioned,
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: you know, bow Borderline being that fifth year senior, it's
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: played one hundred and thirty six naps in four years
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: at LSU. Started one game. It was the bowl game
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: against Baylor, when basically your entire offensive line opted out
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: and you kind of reminiscent of a of a Garrett
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: No smile right, like he could have transferred. This is
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: a guy that was pretty decently high recruit here in
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: the state of Louisiana, but he stuck it out. And
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: you know, I've seen the comment. The reason I put
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: this out. I saw the comment a lot of people mentioning, oh,
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: if Boat Borderlinn's on your offensive line, you must be
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: in trouble. Guy hasn't played in four years. Like to me,
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: I actually thought it was a misstep from the previous
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: coaching staff. Maybe Brad Davis didn't like him. You know,
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: I'm a huge Brad Davis fan. Brad Davis didn't like
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: him for whatever reason. Maybe that's the case, because remember
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: they would put him as that that yackle, as Jacob
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: Pester calls it. They would make him wear eighty nine.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: They would go out there, and he was essentially just
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: an extra offensive lineman. As bad as your offensive line was,
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: he'd probably should have gotten a little bit more run
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: there here ago, I mean, so much worse could he
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: have been? Yeah, but this coaching staff loves it. I mean,
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: I know a lot of people were a little bit surprised, saying, oh, well,
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: Devin Harper was running with the ones at that left
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: guard spot. He's Lane Kiffin's guy followed him over from
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: Ole Miss. Yeah, that's true. But Kiffin actually said as
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: much in the press conference on Tuesday after spring practice.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: He said, look, the depth chart constantly changes. He goes,
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: We'll change the depth chart every single day if we
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: have to, depending on how guys are performing. The coaching
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: staff loves this guy. If this offensive line can gel together,
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: you have Braylan Moore back at center. And I know
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: some people feel a certain way about that because the
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: O line as a whole wasn't good. Oh, Brailer Moore
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: was putting kind of a tough spot a year ago.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: I mean, you guys talked about the scheme a number
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: of times, and really everybody around him wasn't great. I
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: think Braylen moorees is going to be fine. There. You
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: bring in a Jordan's Seaton that everybody loves. You got
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: a Liu bah who might be the most underrated offensive lineman.
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: You brought it. I mean, the guy started thirty three
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: consecutive games at Maryland. I mean, I understand Maryland's not
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: competing for titles, but that's a power for football proa. Yeah,
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: right like that, that's a power for football program. And
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: he's started two years in a row, hasn't missed a game.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: And then right tackle, you know that that one's still
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: working out. But this offensive line is one or two
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: pieces away from actually being pretty good if they can
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: put it all together.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you brought in let's see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: running eight people that were new to the program, not
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: counting freshmen and just older players that have played somewhere before.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: There's no chance that any dust has settled. I don't
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: think the dust has settled on Wesson Davis being your
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: right tackle. Like, he's got to go compete, He's got
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: to go prove that he can be consistent. I know
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: what he was out of high school. I know how
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: many stars he had next to his name. There was ups,
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: there was downs last year. Now you like the ups,
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: but there's got to be way more of those this
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: year than there was last year.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: Well, you got Darren Stray behind him, who he brught
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: in from Kentucky. Sean Tompkins is yere. He ran a
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: lot more left tackle at Baylor than right, but can
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: he make the transition over to right. Bryceton Martinez who
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: my favorite player in this high school signing class. I mean,
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: the guy played everywhere for East Dissension. He ended up
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: receiver in quarterback, and he came here as a left tackle.
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: Like the guys have staught. He's six eight, he's over
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: three hundred and thirty pounds. That's a guy that could
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: potentially be in the mix if you find those right guys.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: Like what I like about this year's team on the
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: offensive line, you got bodies and I think you have
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: a lot of talent. Last year you kind of just
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: had to throw out your best guys because you didn't
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: have a ton behind them this year. If a guy
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: gets beat out, you know, it's truly that the guy
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: behind him was better. Like there's going to be a
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: lot of competition which will ultimately make you better.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: Again, it's a unit that has to go way up.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: Is a unit that at times certainly couldn't protect the quarterback.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: You go back to that Texas A and M game,
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: You kind of remember how much they were getting after
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: the quarterback.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: It's certainly a group.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: Now again, the scheme certainly did not help them in
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: the run game. It just did not everybody knew what
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: was coming because there was only one maybe one and
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: a half run plays. That like that stuff that will
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: get helped out by having some diversity in you run game.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: That's why we always talk about every team that leads
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: the country and rushing every team. We could go high
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: school level, we could go college level, we could go
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: to the National Football League. Everyone that has success is
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: diverse in their run game. They have multiple things up.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: The defense doesn't know what's coming. They have to deal
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: with multiple blocking schemes. You didn't have that against LSU
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: last year they were going to run one and a
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: half run plays. If they didn't work, they just keep
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: trying them and keep hitting their head against the brick wall.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: At least when we used to do that with the
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: toss dive, it was successful. At least we had success
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: with it. It might not have been your favorite play,
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: but we knew how to run it. That just wasn't
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: the case last year for LSU, and that's why you
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: really struggled on the offensive line. So yeah, it's a
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: group that has to go way up. I mean, not
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: a question. It has to non negotiable. That unit is
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: going to be as important as any Now we could
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: put it in tears, not saying others aren't, but that
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: group they have to protect the quarterback. You have got
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: a lot of investment in your backfield with your quarterback
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: and with your two running backs that you have really
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: three running backs. Those guys have to thrive, and it
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: all starts with the offensive front.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: And I do hope that bow borderline gets an opportunity.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: You know what, because I.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Don't know as far as skill what it looks like
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: compared to the other guys, but I know what the
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: intensity is and I know what the mentality is compared
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: to some of the other guys. So that's gonna be
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: a fun story to kind of see how it plays out.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Over the next couple of weeks and months.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: All Right, we will step away, and when we come back,
• 24:26

  Speaker 2: middle schoolers out of the.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: House, you know, up to going, coach, Well done, well done.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: I mean we are kind of spoiled right now in
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: our house because you know, we got you know, children
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: in all different age groups. Our oldest just started driving
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: and he just started driving the siblings.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: To school and like I do, morning video.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: So I'm not saying that I had anything to do
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: with how they got to school before, but it feels
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: like a real game changer, and the fact that he
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: can drive them to school and now, you know, just
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: get to sit back and watch Life three sixty and
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: make sure he gets to school.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, sit back and stress watch him
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: driving around. That feels worse to me. That feels worse.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Not there yet, so fair enough from you. I'll learn
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: from you.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, fair enough a coach.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: Good weekend last weekend, and I certainly want to get
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: to the actual softball. But before we do, how did
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: the event go last weekend at Tiger Park?
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Thanks so much for asking. It was awesome. It was
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: a great day. We had a bunch of people out
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: in the morning and then an exciting game and just
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: a really awesome space to honor women in our community.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: It was really a great day top to bottom. So
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: appreciate all the people that supported it.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Great weather too, it really was.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: I'm sure that I'm sure you don't stress about that
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: at all every single year, you know, in.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: All the years we've done it. It's that's pretty amazing
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: that even if there was rant on the forecast, somehow
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: the class part right when it's time.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: That's right. Well, that's good to hear.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: Great news, and the go tell events always one of
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: our favorites to be able to try to highlight here
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: on the show.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: We always appreciate you coming.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: On and you have some good softball after that as
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: well as you mentioned there and Coach before we get
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: to just Arizona, like you go back and you start
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: to look at I mean, you could probably go all
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: the way back to the South Carolina series, right.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: You go on the road, you win that series, You.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Have a tough, tough series against Oklahoma where you all battle,
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: you lose an extra any game, but then you come
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: back and you beat them and they hadn't lost in
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: a long time when you beat them. And then you
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: go back on the road in the SEC, win a
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: series against Missouri, and then you just beat the number
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: twelve team in the country in a series at home.
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: Over the last couple of series over I would say,
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: you know, the last month or so, it feels like
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: this team is starting to learn each other, starting to
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: step up. Different players are starting to step up. Is
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: that something that you felt was going on at the time,
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: Because look the schedule and we talk about it every
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: year with you at the top, it's brutal, it's tough,
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: and so you go through some lumps there. But over
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: the last month, is this what you thought this team
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: could be? Yeah?
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: I mean the schedule of itself we knew when lend it,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: you know, itself to this a bit. But also just
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of new a lot of new eleven new
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: comforts with the most in my time here, you know.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: So I think when you see that, you expect a
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: lot of growth as the season goes. And you know,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: I'll be honest, we started most seasons like twenty five
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: and one and maybe not ended up where we wanted
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: at the end of the year. So maybe the adversity
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: going through things, learning ourselves, you know, like having have
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: our backs against the wall, maybe that pays dividends in
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: the end. I don't know, we're gonna find out, but
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: I have seen this team grow so much and really
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: led a lot too by this defense and pitching staff. Lately,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: you know, they've put together a really nice string of
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: good weeks of solid star not just Jade Himner, but
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: cc Soileira at Peyton Montaceelli's really good lately too, So
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: they've done a really nice job just given us a
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: chance in every game.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: And coach.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: One of the things that I certainly have noticed, after
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: you've had success from the weekends, you've handled the midweek.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: And that might sound easier to some people, but you
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: know kind of the challenges that that brings when you're
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: having success on the weekends and then you come back
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: and you play maybe somebody that you know you're respecting,
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: but it's not getting respect from the outside. And you
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: go back and after you beat South Carolina, it's five
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: innings against Louisiana Tech. You have a great series against Oklahoma.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: You don't have a midweek game that week. But then
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: you come back and you show up against Missouri, and
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: then after you show up against Missouri, it's Central Arkansas,
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: and then you do you know, go on the road
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: against ul Lafayette over the last couple of days and
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: you know, hit them. I mean it's eight to nothing,
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: a five inning game. Like to me, that always points
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: to a team And I say this in baseball and
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: softball that's locked in when they take the weekend to
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: the midweek.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Well, we treat every game like it's the most important
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: one on the schedule, and we talk a lot about it.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: And you know, I think we have so many great
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: programs in this state, so many great coaches right now
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: in this state, of all of the schools, I think
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: everybody deserves our best game. I mean highlighted by the
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: fact that we had Jamean Heiemner out there on a
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Tuesday night. You know, we were concerned it's a tough
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: place to play over there with you know, a team
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: that had taken us ten innings earlier in the year.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: So you know, as a respect move, I would say
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: from us right having Jakeemner on the mouth to face them,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: and we understand how important those games are too in
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: our sport. Those games just mean a lot as far
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: as your postseason ability to host and you know, accomplish
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: the goals you want.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: For your team.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: All those things come into play when the committee is talking.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: So and like I said, it's a tough state. We
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: have incredible programs in this state, incredible coaches. So we
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: ever worked out for us every midweek.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: Catch you up with else you head softball coach bets
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: Arena here on ot B a R coach that takes
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: us to this week and finally, finally LSU gets to
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: host Ole Miss in a sport they don't have to
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: go to Oxford, Mississippi. It feels like ever since, you know,
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: a couple of things happened there in the winter time
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: that she's had to travel in every sport to Oxford.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: But Old Miss is coming to Tiger Park, a place
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: that y'all have been really good this year, always been
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: really good, but this year twenty one and five at
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: home kind of give us a breakdown of what you
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: expect from Ole Miss as they come into town this weekend.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: I know, don't you think Lane should come over and
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: probably the first pitch and welcome home to town. Wouldn't
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: that be good?
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: I actually can't imagine anybody else that should. It should
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: absolutely be him. So coach, if you're listening, I think
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: that needs to happen.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: That will take anybody from the staff over to come
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: welcome them. But no, a really good team. Everybody in
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: the SEC is a good team. I mean they've won
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: some big series. You know, they want a series against
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Tennessee like they are capable of really beating anybody in
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: the league. I think, you know, a team led by
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: two really really hard throwing arms. I mean they have,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: you know, one kid that's above seventy the majority of
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: the time, So two power arms that they have and
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: then a couple left handed hitters that seem to hit
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: it a mile every time they swing, you know, so
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: we'll have our work it out for us. They're balanced,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: some speed, some power play, good defense, power arms. You know,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: it's another weekend in the SEC where you can't seem
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: to catch your breath. You got to give them your
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: best game every pitch or you're gonna end up on
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: the wrong side of it.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: Well, coach, I do want to since you're you know,
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: talking about the style of old miss I do want to.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: I guess go back to the Arizona series again where
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: you win a two out of three there at home,
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: because like that was a different style team, like really
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: good hitting the base softball, and it's something that you know,
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: they talked about on the broadcast over and over again.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: You're watching the game and that was their style and
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: they outscore people, but like your staff holding them to
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: what was it five or six I think total runs
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: in the entire series, And so like that was that
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: style of game that's you know, out of conference, and
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: so you've got to maybe switch your mindset a little bit.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: How is that when you go from playing conference conference Conference.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: All of a sudden, you played this really good team
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: from somewhere out west and they have a different style. Like,
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: how much conversation did you have with your team that
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: this was going to be maybe a little bit different.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't imagine there will be a more important
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: series on our schedule, you know, this year, especially when
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: it comes down to like the post season and the
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Committee and all the things. I can't imagine that there's
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: going to be a more important series. And the way
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: that our team played those games is going to be
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: just huge. I was incredibly proud of the effort by
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: the entire team. Talk to bottom, it was really well
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: played and I think we did a nice job. Arizona
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: is a really balanced offense. I was really impressed seeing
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: them come. But we were able to take away the
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: two things that they score runs by, and it's the
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: short game and the home run. Our defense was able
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: to take the short game, and our beautiful Tiger Park
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: took away the home run a couple of times for
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: us and our pitching staff, you know. So we were able
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: to take away the two ways that they score and
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: had a really really good series. It's gonna have a
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: ton of impact on our team down the stretch.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Coach, I'm not gonna lie to you.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: Watching the game and watching some of those Arizona hitters,
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: I felt like they were making like contact where it
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: wasn't even really warning track at Tiger Park in the
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: humidity that they probably felt like man in the desert,
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: that ball just keeps on flying and it doesn't land.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: You're definitely right about that, like it that ballpark's going
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: to play a little bit different. And you could tell
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: that they were surprised maybe by some of the things
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: that did not leave the stadium. But it's like, hey,
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: if you hit one out in Tiger Park, you got
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: to earn that thing.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we had some of their you know, we share
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: all the track man numbers. Now we had some of
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: their numbers of their home runs coming to Tiger Park,
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: and we're like, wow, our center fielder comes forward to
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: catch stuff. Yeah, and it's a home run at their place.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: So just you know, we go out there next year,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: so we'll get a taste of what they face every weekend.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Hopefully we can you know, let some things fly out
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: there too. But you know, I think dependent on where
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: the game's played, you have to be prepared to play
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: the game where you're at right, like a lot of
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: resum We try to hit a little hit things a
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: little lower right, a little flatter, a little more groundballs,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: so we know how our park plays. But playing into
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: the wind, playing into the elements. So I think that's
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: part of our outdoor sport, right. You got to take
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: all that in the conspiration and be able to make adjustment.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Coach.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: For as long as I've known you, I think you
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: have all those things covered, and you could probably tell
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: us the percentage of humidity at first pitch for most games, and.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: So I have no doubts that you have had all
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: that cover Coach. We truly appreciate your time.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: Glad to have you back on the show weekly, look
• 36:38

  Speaker 3: We're here. I'm just letting a song. Okay, sure.
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: Space Live is so underrated, so.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: I was just about that when I fly still does
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: I need to crowds a great song too. It's a
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: great So.
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: They have a lot of really good songs and I
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: play them on coffee and flannel because I feel like
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: they don't. I like to play songs on coffee and
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: flannel that I don't feel like get the love they deserve.
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: And I don't ever feel like Live does. So I
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: play a lot of Live.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: I absolutely with you.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: I think Live is one of those bands that, like,
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: you know the song and you like you sing along
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: with it, but you don't know.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: That live single.
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah that makes sense.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you never have to worry about this show. I
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: really enjoyed that.
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: So all right, when you start a little LSU softball
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: Vetterena again, Jay Johnson going to join us to talk
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: LSU baseball at nine thirty.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: They've got Texas A and M coming to town.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be Friday, first pitch, six pm, Saturday, at
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: seven pm, Sunday at one pm. It's a big series,
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: to say the least. You've got a really good top
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: ten baseball team coming to town. You have got to
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: try to find a way to pick yourself off the
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: matt and just don't know that winning four to two
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: in midweek got everybody heading in the right direction. Now,
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: the pitching was great, that's something to highlight. Jake Brown
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: is another home run. I'm not saying there weren't things,
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: but again, I know, I know what Northwestern State did
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: to you a year ago in a national championship season.
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: They run ruled you at your place. But still, and Landra,
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: you were talking about this year in the break and
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: I wholeheartily agree. If what happened last weekend doesn't get
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: you motivated to change the narrative and change the fortunes
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: of your team, nothing will right.
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: And honestly, I don't even know if it's like a
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: mindset at this point or this team just is what
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: it is. Maybe they're trying their best and this is
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: their best.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: We don't know.
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: But to the outside looking in, it sometimes feels like
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: the fire and the effort and the want and the
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: will to win is not there, if that makes sense.
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: But I just it's the same thing that we ask
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: all the time, like who's the leader of the team?
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: Why doesn't anybody care enough to step up? And like Will?
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: When Will was here on Monday, we were talking about
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: where's the players only meeting? Have they already done it?
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 42:25
  Speaker 6: Is there gonna be one? Is it even gonna be
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: enough to like motivate this team?
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: I don't know, And I'm glad you brought that up.
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: It's something we probably need to talk more about. And
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: I know that there's some people that don't like how
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: many people are not from Louisiana all in LSU's baseball team.
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: I get that that's the day and age of the
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: transfer portal. You're gonna get guys from everywhere. Yeah, but
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: there's Look, there's enough guys that are from Louisiana. Why
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: does that matter, Well, you grew up love and LSU baseball,
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: just like for me, I grew up love and LSU football.
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: So like it all it means something to everybody over there.
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: But when you grew up and it's all you knew,
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: and like I used to sit in my living room
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: and listen to Jim and Doug on the radio because
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: every game wasn't on TV.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how a lot of us grew up.
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: Same thing for like LSU baseball, those guys have gone
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: to the box their entire life. They finally get a chance.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: There's enough on that team to be the guy that
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: you're talking about, right, I mean the guy who arguably
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: is your best hitter. You know, I know Ebbs and Flows,
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: but Jake Brown from Louisiana, I know Gavin Gidgery's got
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: a personality that would thrive in that role. Yeah, and
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: you can you can kind of miss me with the
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: Oh it's got to be this guy, that guy, not
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: always the guy that comes in here every Monday.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: Will Helmer's was that guy.
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: YEA for those teams in twenty three that won national champion,
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: like he was the hype guy. He literally was the
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: guy like and will will tell you we'll pitch a
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: little bit. Yeah, didn't pitch a lot.
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: Right, And that's what I was gonna say. Like, even
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: if you don't have like a starting role on this
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: team or like a regular rotational role on this team,
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: I think that somebody, if you're not gonna impact the
• 44:03
  Speaker 6: team on the field, you got to impact them off
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: the field.
• 44:05
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: It shouldn't be a freshman having to leave letters, which
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: I appreciate him doing that, but it shouldn't be a
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: freshman doing that. It should be a veteran player, somebody
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: that has been here. And again, I don't really care
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: if you're the best hit or the best picture.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: Like you let.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: Everybody in that clubhouse know what it means to wear
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: LSU and what we're gonna do, and even in a loss,
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: we're gonna look like we're giving you every ounce of
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: everything that we have.
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: This is the historical standard of the program. You either
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: get with it or you don't.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's completely fair. It should be
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: that way.
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: To your point, Like every team, every sport and times
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: are tough, Like who's that guy you look to, who's
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: the one guy like it should be Steven Mylum, it
• 44:48
