Speaker 3: Past Welcome into a Wednesday edition of Off the Bench.
0:21
Taylor Sharper with your filling end for Jacob Pastor. Elandra
0:24
Villareale here as always, and as you heard by the
0:27
wonderfully put intro, Jordan Kitchens is here with us as well. Elandra,
0:33
you texted me this morning said, hey, I'm gonna be
0:35
coming in a little hot had power hour. How was that?
0:38
Speaker 2: It was good?
0:39
Speaker 4: But I'm just still I don't know what just happened. Yes,
0:42
right before the show.
0:43
Speaker 3: We were we were gonna start with with baseball, but
0:47
where we're gonna get there? Okay, Jordan leaves the studio
0:50
two minutes for the show starts. All of a sudden,
0:52
he's running back in. We look up. Elandra goes to Jordan,
0:56
what's going on? His pants are like unzipped, like way down.
1:01
We're trying to figure out what's going on, Jordan. Ory, Okay,
1:05
that's aggressive.
1:07
Speaker 5: You know, we have to set the table. We can't
1:10
just come out here and be like, oh, this guy's
1:12
around with his pants off. No, that's not what's going on.
1:14
So let me set the table everybody. So what happened was,
1:20
you know I'm making the YouTube thumbnail, Well, why not
1:23
making a YouTube thumb Now I forgot I have to
1:24
put the YouTube thumbnail in. So I'm sitting at my
1:27
desk and I'm like, oh, snap, it's five fifty seven.
1:30
I gotta go do this real quick, you know, put
1:32
the titler in whatever. So I go run and do that.
1:34
I look at the clock. Six point fifty nine. Keep
1:37
in mind, guys, I have to go. I don't like
1:39
to drink coffee, so I had to drink me a
1:43
nice doctor Pepper this morning. Give me a little pepper
1:45
my step and now Dr Pepper just went straight through me.
1:48
So I'm looking at the clock. I'm panicking. I'm in
1:50
the bathroom. I'm like, okay, you know, I got like
1:52
thirty seconds at this point, so I you know, you
1:54
gotta do what you gotta do. Do what I do.
1:57
And I'm thinking I'm out of time. So I'm like
1:59
running back in the studio and everybody's like, why you're
2:01
running back? What's going on here? What's going on here?
2:04
And I'm like, well, in my mind, I'm out of time. Yeah, yeah,
2:09
you're right. So you know, Land had to hold the
2:11
four down. You know who hold the line. Let me
2:13
get set up first, let me get the weather together.
2:15
So that's what happened. I'm not a maniac running with
2:17
my pants off everybody. No, I just a bad look.
2:20
Speaker 3: You know.
2:21
Speaker 5: I'm a team player. I'm a team player. Yes, did
2:25
you did?
2:26
Speaker 4: Right?
2:26
Speaker 3: There?
2:27
Speaker 2: Turned into he's a team player?
2:28
Speaker 5: But team player?
2:30
Speaker 3: Did you get your p in at least?
2:31
Speaker 5: Oh bro?
2:32
Speaker 3: Because like, like you know this, Yeah, there's nothing worse.
2:35
It's a guy like you're halfway through that pee. You
2:37
gotta like y'all try to clench it. You can, you
2:40
can't do it.
2:41
Speaker 2: And I just know he didn't wash his hands.
2:45
Speaker 5: Listen, you know when you have hand sanitized. This is
2:49
that I can't lie. Y'all't hear y'all, don't hear a
2:52
foster running. We're not stupid, We're not stupid. Nobody heard
2:55
the fowtert running. But but I was able to get
2:59
in right for the show start, able to drain the
3:01
main vein. We're all good, we're all settled. We're here
3:05
for three hours locked in.
3:07
Speaker 3: Are you doing good this morning?
3:08
Speaker 1: Jordan?
3:09
Speaker 3: Yeah? I neglected to ask you that with all the uh,
3:12
you know, things going on when you came.
3:14
Speaker 5: In, things happened, things happened. But you know this, this
3:16
is the whole point about being a Foxhold guy. You know,
3:18
you find yourself back against the wall. You gotta find
3:21
a way to get to get out.
3:23
Speaker 3: Would some would say fox all member wouldn't wait till
3:27
forty five seconds before the show to pee, But it's
3:29
a fair see.
3:31
Speaker 5: Instead of doing that, you do it before. So you're
3:34
all the way locked in now you're all the way
3:36
locked and there is no there's no excuses, there is
3:38
no I gotta go pee real quick. No, it's gone.
3:41
You gotta worry about that.
3:43
Speaker 3: A law Draves power power was great.
3:46
Speaker 4: I was just telling Jordan before all that chaos happened
3:50
that the finisher today was one hundred walking lunges with
3:55
a kettle bell in each hand. So yeah, I'm pretty
4:00
dead right now. And Jordan was like, I'd have to
4:02
go back to bed, and I was like, no, trust me.
4:03
I took a shower and my bed was made and
4:05
I looked down my bed and I.
4:07
Speaker 6: Was like, ooh, I would love I would love to
4:08
be all.
4:09
Speaker 2: Up in you right now.
4:10
Speaker 3: Okay, man, we are wild in this morning here on.
4:14
Speaker 2: I would love to be in my bed.
4:17
Speaker 3: So speaking of kettle I think what makes this even yeah, okay,
4:24
this is what makes this even funnier. Speaking of both
4:28
of your actions here early this morning, did you'll ever
4:30
hear the story of p Diddy with the kettle bill?
4:33
Speaker 6: No, and I'm not sure seven o five am.
4:36
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, it's not a it's not a sexual story.
4:39
So his son, he had a son, and I'm trying
4:44
to find out where.
4:47
Speaker 4: He.
4:47
Speaker 3: Okay, Justin Combs was his son. He was a defensive
4:50
back on UCLA's football team. This was years ago.
4:53
Speaker 2: I remember this.
4:53
Speaker 3: Okay, well, Jordan, if you haven't heard this story, day
4:57
let his father Seawan Combs obviously.
5:00
Speaker 4: Well, I've never heard this story. I remember his son
5:02
playing at A Well, I don't know this.
5:04
Speaker 3: He was like working out in the weight room or whatever,
5:08
got mad at an assistant coach and threw a kettle
5:11
bell at him. What didn't hit him, but threw the
5:13
kettle bell at him that some strength that might have
5:15
been a sign, might have been a sign.
5:17
Speaker 5: Did he get kicked off the team?
5:19
Speaker 3: No, not, he he was working out in the in
5:24
the weight room through the kettle bell at the coach.
5:26
Speaker 5: That's why was he even there? What's going on here?
5:29
Speaker 3: He was a celebrity father in Los Angeles, so famous.
5:32
Speaker 4: Whatever can you imagine if Deshaun Foster was the coach
5:36
at the time and he did he threw a kettle
5:38
bell at him, he would have nothing to say to him.
5:40
Speaker 3: Okay, here we go, here, here's a sorry, I gotta
5:42
put up. So an assistant coach, sal Alosi had apparently
5:45
been ripping into Justin Combs during a recent u c
5:48
l A practice that did he attended unhappy with the
5:52
treatment of his son? Did he decided to visit Alosi
5:54
in his office? Words were said, a scuttle, a scuffle ensued,
5:58
and then things escalated. Did he took a kettlebell of
6:02
an undisclosed weight into his hand? And reports are unclear,
6:06
but they seem to involve uh, did he swinging the
6:10
kettlebell and throwing it in the general direction? Okay, so
6:12
this wasn't even in the weight room, But.
6:16
Speaker 6: I'm trying to imagine how I would throw a kettlebell.
6:20
Speaker 3: Must have been by a handle, like.
6:25
Speaker 2: Pretty heavy, like five pound. I don't use.
6:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you're also not using it as a projectile either.
6:34
Speaker 5: So well, hold on, So Taylor, what did you tell
6:36
me is this man had the secret kettlebell on him
6:38
in the in the meeting, like he was probabilitated.
6:41
Speaker 3: I'm assuming, I don't know, you know, I'm assuming that
6:44
there was probably a kettlebell nearby in the office. Like
6:47
maybe this guy was like a strength coach or whatever.
6:50
But what if he just went on I don't think
6:52
did he showed up knocking on the door with a
6:54
kettlebell in his hand and you let him in the office.
6:56
Speaker 5: I don't know, a trench coat on. It was like
6:58
in the trench coat, it's got a kettlebell weight, like
7:00
premeditated sex. You say something, kettle belt to the head
7:04
right there. I respect that a little bit, don't. Okay, don't.
7:10
Speaker 3: I don't know.
7:11
Speaker 5: It's not respect. I respect. I respect audacity to do that.
7:19
Speaker 3: To do a lot of things. I wanted to start
7:23
this show with some college baseball talk, but Jordan, it's
7:31
it's eight minutes after we'll we'll combine both of our
7:34
college baseball segments into one. This is what we'll do.
7:37
We'll do that next stay up and watching the NBA
7:41
game last night, oh man, of course, maybe I couldn't sleep.
7:45
My blood was pumping like this was. This was one
7:46
of like the so like really as far as like
7:50
locked into playoffs, it's really me you and Hester. That's
7:54
kind of it as far as like like everybody has
7:56
their team, like Landre loves the Spurs, you know, but
7:58
like even when the Pelar aren't good, like you and I,
8:01
we watched the playoffs. Yeah, man, I remember being freshman
8:05
in high school is really when I fell in love
8:07
with the NBA playoffs. Like it was because I was
8:09
I was at summer football workouts, like it would be
8:11
in the morning, that afternoon, whatever, enjoy your summer to.
8:15
Speaker 1: Come home that night.
8:16
Speaker 3: NBA playoffs every single night during the summer. I mean
8:19
that's when. That's when I've had. This was one of
8:21
those peak like back to back, full court, just hard
8:25
nosed basketball because it's weird. It's like it was one
8:27
thirty one to one twenty or one twenty two, whatever
8:30
the hell it was, but like there was also defense
8:32
in that game as well. It was just like dude,
8:35
I mean it was.
8:36
Speaker 7: It was.
8:37
Speaker 3: It was phenomena. Like I didn't sleep last night because
8:40
of it. Okay, look We're just gonna go ahead and
8:42
take a break since that first segment was not at
8:45
all we thought it was going to be. But uh,
8:47
we'll come back. We'll have an extended second segment. I'll
8:50
get a Lunis thoughts on this as well. The betting
8:53
nods for the favorites to win the College World Series
8:56
is out. LSU Tiger's high on that list. And then
8:59
I also I want to talk about maybe the easiest
9:01
regionals and the hardest regionals across all of college baseball
9:05
as we enter those this weekend. Both of those coming
9:07
up next. You're on off the bench.
9:09
Speaker 7: Off the bench, all right, go to Boudroselectrical dot com.

9:28
that free quote that we tell you about all the time.
9:32
Speaker 8: And trust me when I say, it's never a good
9:35
time to have your power go out, but you certainly
9:38
don't want it in this time of the year in
9:41
South Louisiana. It is not going to be bearable. It
9:45
is going to be something that is going to make you.
9:47
Speaker 5: More than miserable.
9:48
Speaker 8: Right So, but if you have that whole home generator,
9:50
as soon as the power goes out, the AC is
9:51
not going to go anywhere because that thing's going to
9:53
kick on and you're going to be saved. So if

10:12
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Off the Bench.
10:34
Speaker 3: Welcome back in second segment here on a Wednesday edition
10:37
of OTB Taylor Trophy with you filling in for mister Jacobs.
10:41
So we got a Landra, Villa Reale and Jordan Kitchens here,
10:43
and we have already had a lot of fun here
10:46
on this Wednesday morning. We talked about a Landra's Power Hour,
10:50
Jordan walking in with his pants on zipped, and uh
10:54
an old story of uh P Diddy swinging a kettlebell
10:58
at a UCLA assistant football coach. So we've burned through
11:02
a lot of topics already here on this Wednesday morning.
11:07
Wanted to actually start the show with a little bit
11:09
of college baseball. But sometimes, look things happen. You gotta
11:13
tell a couple stories. That's kind of where the opening
11:15
of the show went. But right now, want to look
11:18
at the odds to win the College World Series because
11:21
they are out and your LSU Tigers are six to
11:24
one odds. That's the second best odds in the entire country.
11:28
The favorites are the Arkansas Razorbacks at plus four hundred.
11:32
I get it. They're forty three and thirteen on the season.
11:36
They finished the SEC with a twenty and ten record
11:39
a won a game in the SEC Tournament. I understand,
11:42
but haven't we seen this before? Look, I think Arkansas
11:46
is a great baseball program. I think Dave van Horne
11:48
is a really good coach. But it just seems like
11:50
time and time again, Arkansas every year looks prime to
11:54
win it all, only to fall short. I mean, when
11:56
was it twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen, something like that. They're
12:00
a foul ball catch away from winning the College World Series.
12:04
Their infielder's completely with there's three guys standing there, nobody
12:07
catches the foul ball. They ultimately lose in the College
12:10
World Series finals. Just stuff like that happens to Arkansas
12:14
time and time again in the College World Series. We
12:16
get it. They're a great team. They've been good all year.
12:20
I know everybody hates the University of Texas. I think
12:23
they've been the best team in the SEC all year long.
12:25
Texas would have been my betting favorite to win it all,
12:28
just strictly based on what we've seen so far this year,
12:31
I would go with Texas, not Arkansas. But look right
12:34
behind Arkansas, it's LSU. It's six to one odds, So
12:38
can the Tigers get it done? They certainly have the
12:42
pitching to do this. Look, I love what I've seen
12:44
from this staff lately. You have two top flight starters.
12:47
It's funny after the first game in the SEC Tournament
12:51
where both Anderson and Ianson pitched, Jay Johnson was asked
12:55
about Kate Anderson. He goes, look, he's the best pitcher
12:57
in the country. The only person he might be tied
12:58
with is ant of the Ions. And I mean it
13:00
doesn't really matter to me. You can say, Okay, Kate
13:03
Anderson's your ace as far as I'm concerned, Kate Anderson's
13:06
your day one starter. Ions in your day two. You
13:09
have two aces on this staff. They have both been excellent. Also,
13:13
it's looking like you may have some solid options for
13:16
your third and fourth starter. Everyone on this show has
13:19
always talked about, Look, when you get to Omaha, you
13:22
may have to dip in a little bit, start a
13:24
third a fourth arm, A guy like you see it
13:26
every single year, right You saw it with Nate Ackenhowison
13:29
two years ago when LSU won the National Championship. He
13:32
wasn't a weekend starter in that rotation. But because of
13:35
rest for Paul Skins and some other factors like Nate
13:38
Ackenhow's another step up and start a game in the
13:40
National Championship. What arms can you rely on out of
13:44
the bullpit? Because we know Anderson and Ionsen, in my opinion,
13:48
best duo in the country. As far as starting pitchers,
13:51
I throughout the names that I know for sure this
13:54
team can count on. Zach Callen, Cason Evans if he's
13:58
not starting, Chase Shores if he's not starting, Connor Ware,
14:03
Jacob Myers, Cooper Williams, Jaden Newton. Those are seven guys
14:08
right now I feel comfortable with. Now in Landro have
14:11
three more names. I'm gonna throw them out to you
14:13
and you tell me if you'd feel comfortable throw them
14:16
out there. They're talented, they've done some good, they've done
14:18
some bad.
14:19
Speaker 2: To start, No.
14:20
Speaker 3: Like that you'd feel comfortable with out of the bullpen,
14:22
because like we we know the starters. I just named
14:25
seven arms that could either be maybe your third starter
14:27
out of the bullpen? Did everyone knows? Okay, how about
14:31
this name Maverick Risey? Can he count on him? Yes? Okay,
14:36
that's a but still you can DJ Primo, Yes, okay,
14:43
that's nine. William Schmidt this was my biggest question mark.
14:50
Speaker 2: I don't know, he's very hit or miss. I would
14:55
say no.
14:58
Speaker 3: I would say no as well. Okay, that's kind of
15:00
the point of this exercise is that no, you're look,
15:04
he's a freshman. He's a freshman. He's going to get better.
15:06
But I just listed Callen Evans Shores where Myers, Williams Newt,
15:11
and then Landra said yes on Rizzi and Primo. That's
15:15
nine arms. Now, of course a couple of them are
15:17
going to have to start, Like as Jade Newt going
15:18
to be your third starter? Is it going to be
15:21
case and Evans? But look, earlier in this season it was, hey,
15:25
you're starting anderson Ians and Chase Shores. You can rely
15:29
on two guys out of the bullpen and Zach Collen
15:31
Case and Evans. Everybody else is a giant question mark.
15:34
We've talked about the struggles of this offense. It's been
15:37
flipped completely. As far as this LSU pitching staff. I
15:40
think there's multiple guys that you can count on, But
15:45
the bats are a concern for me. Now. The good
15:48
news issue is great at home in hitting, and they're
15:52
going to be at home and the regionals and the Supers,
15:54
which they got to go through in order to get
15:55
to Omaha. It's so weird, like this team is a
15:58
night and day offensive at home and then on the route.
16:03
Not very long ago, they scored nine runs total at
16:06
Texas A and M. That's a team that didn't even
16:08
make it into this tournament. Nine runs. Then they come
16:11
home against Arkansas, who's now the betting favorite to win
16:13
it all. They score twenty two runs that weekend. What
16:17
happens when they go to Hoover away from alex Box,
16:19
they score four runs in two games. It's I can't
16:24
figure out why this team cannot hit away from alex Box.
16:28
It's one of the bigger questions for me. So getting
16:31
to Omaha shouldn't be a problem. My bigger question is
16:35
what are they going to do when they ultimately get there.
16:37
Because you're at home in a regional, you're at home
16:40
against a super regional. You've been able to hit inside
16:42
alec box. I'm not concerned with that whatsoever. And your
16:46
pichon has been good enough to carry you anyways. But
16:48
once you get to Omaha, what's the batting going to
16:52
look like? I mean, you have Ethan Fry who's been
16:55
on a tear, and then I mean, you know, you're
16:57
top three or four in the order, Curiel Dickinson, Jared Jones,
17:00
I mean they are who they are, right, Jake Brown's
17:03
out there as well. But the bottom part of your order, now,
17:06
coming into the season we talked about, oh you have
17:08
talent one through nine in this order. The bottom part
17:11
of your order has not stepped up in quite some time.
17:13
All right, look who you have down there, Luis Hernandez,
17:16
Stephen Mylem, Michael braswell, Chris Stanfield, depending on where you
17:19
want to put him. Those guys need to step up. Now.
17:21
Stanfield's been the best of that group by fault. He's
17:24
been really good at the bottom part of that order,
17:26
but Islem Hernandez braswell. Those guys have to step up
17:30
in order for you. Took a beat in Omaha. Going
17:37
back to the regionals, though, I was looking at the
17:40
brackets yesterday and look, we talked a lot yesterday about
17:43
how easy the LSU Regional was. We're gonna take that
17:46
out of the equation. I kind of wanted to look
17:48
at the hardest regionals and the easiest regionals across the country.
17:55
For me, just out of the gate, looking at it
17:59
surface level, Hattiesburg Regional has to be one of the toughest,
18:02
at least for the host site. The Southern miss is
18:05
the host obviously, be of Miami and Alabama also there.
18:09
Look at Alabama, they're forty one and sixteen on the year,
18:12
sixteen and fourteen in the conference, and in my opinion,
18:16
their top three batteries are as good as any trio
18:18
in the country. Kate Snell's batting three sixty six. Richie
18:22
Bonomolo is at three to twenty, and we all know
18:24
how great of a two way player Justin Lebron is.
18:26
He's at three fifteen. And it's not just that they
18:29
hit for average. So Kate Snell has twelve home runs,
18:32
Justin Lebron has eighteen, and Richie Bonamolo has eight, So
18:35
all three of those guys hit for power and average.
18:37
That is a dangerous, dangerous one two three at the
18:40
top of that lineup. Their pichon's been below average. I mean,
18:44
they have a five to one to one ERA on
18:45
the season as a team, but most of the usual
18:48
weekend arms have actually been pretty solid. You have a
18:51
couple guys in Alabama's bullpen who have like a twenty
18:53
two EER that's bringing up the team. Ert the guys
18:56
you see on the weekend, they've actually been better as
18:58
of late. And then you look at a team like
19:01
Miami about two seventy eight. As a team, they have
19:05
sixty eight home runs on the year, but a five
19:08
point h three e RA, and they have a decent
19:11
starting rotation. As far as their their three weekend arms
19:14
of Friday, Saturday, Sunday, they're thirty one and twenty four overall,
19:19
fifteen and fourteen in the ACC. Now here's where it's
19:22
going to help out Southern miss At home, Miami is
19:25
twenty two and nine away, they're seven and fourteen, so
19:30
that is going to play in Southern missus favorite because
19:32
they are the host team. But I just look at
19:34
that regional. I'm not sure Southern Miss makes it out
19:37
of there. I mean when I look at Alabama and
19:39
you know at least the top arms in their weekend rotation.
19:43
I look at their batting line up top to bottom.
19:45
I mentioned snell, Lebron and Bontomolo. I kind of think
19:48
Alabama is going to make it out of this region.
19:51
And I get it. Southern Miss is a great team.
19:52
They have earned the right to be a host site.
19:54
They're a HOS site most years because they're a good
19:56
baseball program. But I just think Alabama battle tested. They
20:01
have a winning record in the SEC. We know how
20:03
tough that conference has been all year long. You've won
20:05
forty one games this year. I got it like Alabama
20:08
to come out of the regional. I don't know if
20:10
Southern Miss makes it out of their own regional. I
20:12
think that is a very difficult draw for the Golden Eagles. Now,
20:17
as far as the easiest regional goes, I think, far
20:21
and away it's the Athens Regional. Georgia is the number
20:24
seven national seed, but I think they got a good draw. Now,
20:27
again we're excluding LSHU from this equation. We broke down
20:31
that regional yesterday. Everybody knows that the Tigers got a
20:33
favorable draw. So outside of that, I like what the
20:36
Bulldogs at Oklahoma State's there. They're only twenty eight and
20:42
twenty three, fifteen and twelve in the Big Twelve. Also
20:46
just five and twelve record on the road, and they're
20:48
going two Athens. Cowboys do come in hot. They've won
20:52
eight of the last nine in the Big Twelve. However,
20:55
on the season, they are hitting just two fifty four
20:58
and they only have two guys over three hundred as
21:01
far as batting average, but their staff is actually pretty good.
21:04
A four to thirty three ERA is a staff, so
21:07
they're good on the mound, they just can't really hit.
21:11
Then you have Duke thirty seven wins, seventeen and thirteen
21:15
in the ACC again under a three hundred batting average
21:19
is a team two eighty nine. The ERA is four
21:21
ninety one. And then Binghamton is the four seed in
21:25
that regional. That's a team that a lot like Little
21:29
Rock because like you look at Little Rock in this
21:31
LSU regional, you're like, Okay, they have a losing record,
21:33
but they went on a run. They won their conference tournament,
21:36
they got into the postseason. It's similar with Binghamton. They're
21:39
twenty nine and twenty four overall, just thirteen and eleven
21:42
in the regular season in their conference, but they won
21:44
the America East Championship over Bryant, so they earn the
21:47
right to get here. A two ninety four batting average,
21:50
so they can actually hit the ball pretty well, but
21:52
their ERA is six forty six this season. As a staff,
21:57
they struggle on the mound. I think Georgia is going
22:00
to have an easy time with that. So you look
22:03
at Duke, Binghams and Oklahoma State. Two of those three
22:07
teams don't even have thirty wins on the season, and
22:11
the best record between the three in conference is Duke
22:14
at seventeen and thirteen. I think that's one of the
22:17
easiest regionals landro as far as like easy hard, where
22:22
do you fall? It's like like tak an l issue
22:23
out of the equation. Like when I looked at the
22:25
Athens Regional, I felt that one like, oh, I think
22:28
Georgia is gonna have an easy time, Like out there,
22:30
who do you think got a good draw? Bad drill?
22:32
Speaker 4: So one that I was looking at and if you're
22:35
looking at it in terms of like for the host
22:38
the Conway Regional hosted by Coastal Carolina, or I mean,
22:42
I guess if you're looking at it through like an
22:44
SEC lens, because Florida is gonna go up to Conway,
22:48
and uh, that's gonna be a tough regional because East Carolina,
22:51
Coastal Carolina, and Florida are.
22:54
Speaker 2: All in it.
22:54
Speaker 4: And we know that East and Coastal Carolina always makes
22:57
some runs in the postseason.
22:59
Speaker 2: So I think that was gonna be a little tough.
23:01
Speaker 4: If we're looking at it through like Florida's lens, it'll
23:05
be tough for Florida to get out of that because
23:07
I mean, they made it into the postseason, but they
23:10
had a rough regular season, so that one's gonna be
23:14
tough for them. And another one that to me kinda
23:20
so like Tennessee snuck their way into hosting a regional.
23:23
Speaker 3: You and I were talking about it yesterday. We were
23:25
shocked that they got the.
23:25
Speaker 4: Host, Yeah, which is I think that's kind of BS.
23:30
Speaker 2: But they get an easy one too, Like they host, they're.
23:33
Speaker 3: Getting the benefit of the dow to be in the defendition. Yeah,
23:36
is what they're.
23:36
Speaker 2: Getting, that's true and fair.
23:38
Speaker 4: They're getting wake Forest, who we faced in the College
23:42
World Series, and they're a good program, but thirty six
23:45
and twenty on the season. And then they get Cincinnati
23:47
who's thirty two and twenty four and Miami Ohio thirty
23:51
five and twenty one. So the Knoxville Regional is also
23:55
pretty easy to me. Another tough one that we were
23:58
talking about in the break. I had a confus used
24:00
with another one. That's why I said it was easy
24:03
at first. This one is tough. The Austin Regional.
24:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, Houston Christian.
24:08
Speaker 4: Thirty two and twenty three on the season, but they's
24:10
still a solid team. And then Todd Walkerson is on
24:16
the team. Shout out Todd walker UTSA forty four and thirteen,
24:20
forty four and thirteen.
24:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, there conference records like what twenty two and four.
24:25
Speaker 2: I think that's what.
24:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then they're in the American right yea, yeah,
24:28
so they're they're pretty good in that conference. And then
24:31
you get Kansas State who's only thirty one and twenty four.
24:34
But still, like I feel like that's kind of a
24:36
tough regional, especially with UTSA and Houston Christian.
24:40
Speaker 2: But That's how I was looking at it.
24:44
Speaker 3: Any host site like I don't. I don't think Southern
24:46
MISI gets out of the regional. I really don't want.
24:47
I mean between Bama Miami and Southern Myss, like those
24:51
teams are gonna beat each other up. I think that
24:53
one's up for grabs. Is there any host team that
24:55
you think, Hey, I don't know if they're getting out
24:56
of their regional?
24:58
Speaker 6: Good question. I didn't think about that one.
25:01
Speaker 3: But because I mean Texas that's a tough regional. Texas
25:04
is going to get They're too good of a team.
25:06
They're going to get out of their regional.
25:08
Speaker 4: So if Oklahoma North Carolina is a really really good team,
25:12
so this is going to be like a very big stretch.
25:14
But if anybody can knock them out their own regional,
25:16
I think it'd be Oklahoma. That's probably a bad answer, though,
25:20
because I still think you and c is going to
25:22
make it out, and I think they're going to make a.
25:23
Speaker 2: Pretty deep run in Omaha.
25:27
Speaker 4: But let me see, Bandy's making it out of theirs,
25:31
Arkansas is making it out of theirs.
25:34
Speaker 2: I think Auburn will too.
25:36
Speaker 5: I don't know.
25:36
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you the Tallahassee Regional. Yeah, in Florida State,
25:40
that was tough because you got Mississippi State there, and
25:43
since Mississippi State fired Crystal Monas, like that team's been hot,
25:46
I mean hot hot, Like you saw what they did
25:49
end that season. Mississippi State could win that regional.
25:53
Speaker 6: That's somebody that I wouldn't want to see in my regional.
25:56
Speaker 2: I know that they had like.
25:57
Speaker 4: That ru but once, especially once they got to Lamonas
26:01
just went to another level. So yeah, that is somebody
26:05
that I wouldn't want to see it. The Tally Tallahassee
26:07
one is tough too. That's another one that I was
26:09
looking at, like ooh, but I still think Florida State
26:12
will make it out of that. The only one like
26:14
Bethune Cookman might be an easy one. But yeah, Northeastern
26:18
and Mississippi State are gonna give you some challenges. You
26:22
know what, bold, I'm go a little bold here.
26:26
Speaker 3: Let's hear it.
26:28
Speaker 4: Georgia Tech might knock all Miss out their own reach.
26:33
Georgia Tech is a solid team, and Ole Miss might
26:38
not make it out of Oxford.
26:40
Speaker 3: It's weird. Ole Miss is one of those teams that
26:42
like always gets hot late, right, now that can help you,
26:46
but it could be you're playing over your head, like
26:49
we were talking about it yesterday when they won the
26:51
national title a few years ago. They were the very
26:54
last team in this tournament. They went on that crazy
26:57
run they win the title. It's like there's such an
26:59
up and down team it's hard to get a read on.
27:00
But no, I'm with you. Like Georgia Tech kind of
27:03
the opposite of Ole Miss. Like Ole Miss has been
27:05
hot late, Georgia Tech's actually been pretty steady all year long.
27:08
Speaker 4: We also won the ACC tournament, so they're a good team.
27:14
Speaker 3: All right, that's kind of our baseball talk for today.
27:18
We kind of wanted to combine it all in one
27:19
segment because it was supposed to be two separate, but
27:22
we we left the rails a little bit in the opening. Okay,
27:25
we're gonna take a time album we get back. PFF
27:29
has ranked the top quarterback rooms in college football, and
27:33
the Tigers are at the top of that list. We'll
27:35
break it all down next. You're on off the bench
27:38
after bench.
27:39
Speaker 8: All right, So you heard Flynn the other day, I
27:42
mean he loves do sequis.
27:44
Speaker 3: You know that.
27:44
Speaker 8: We hear on the OTV Team Love Dose Sequis. It
27:48
is the perfect beer for any occasion. Lake beer, beach beer,
27:53
shower beer, bath beer, you name it, beer like ballpark beer.
27:58
It is the go to, and we've said it, We're
28:01
going to continue to say it. Whether you're tailgating outside
28:03
of Tiger Stadium, watching the Saints on a Sunday, or
28:07
just kicking back with your crew. Dose Sekis brings that
28:10
bowl flavor and smooth finish that turns ordinary into legendary.
28:15
Speaker 3: It's not just beer.
28:16
Speaker 8: It is the beer of champions, or at least the
28:19
beer of guys who.
28:20
Speaker 3: Feel like champions.
28:21
Speaker 8: But you will feel like a champion when you enjoy
28:24
an ice cold Do Sekis. So you don't have to
28:26
be a champion, because Dose Skis will make you a champion.
28:29
So the next time you're watching the game, grab a
28:31
do Sekis and remember stay thirsty, my friends responsibly. Of course,
28:35
Doseki's official beer of unforgettable sports moments.
28:38
Speaker 1: This is Off the Bench.
29:00
Speaker 3: Coach up.
29:02
Speaker 1: I'll be down soon, you know, tell me down? Giving
29:12
everything inside.
29:16
Speaker 3: Love strange, all right, welcome back in Wednesday edition of
29:21
Off the Bench. Watch a movie with that song in
29:24
a Yesterday No, I did not watch the Breakfast Club.
29:27
I watched Pitch Perfect where Jesse showed Beck of the
29:30
ending of the Breakfast Club. So that's that's what my
29:33
afternoon consisted of me laying on the couch in and
29:36
out of consciousness watching Pitch Perfect. That's that's uh, that's
29:39
how Taylor spent his Tuesday afternoon. Okay, right now, I
29:43
want to talk a little bit of LSU football, as
29:45
PFF put out the top ten quarterback rooms heading into
29:50
the twenty twenty five season. Now, keep in mind, this
29:52
is not individual players. This is a room as a whole,
29:54
starter and backup. I'll run through the top ten here
29:57
pretty quick. Number ten, it's Ohio State. Makes a lot
30:00
of sense. There's talent there. You have Julian Sayan, Tavian
30:04
Saint Clair, the red shirt freshman. Lincoln keen Holes is
30:06
there as well. He was a top fifteen quarterback or
30:09
creed back in twenty twenty three. I think that's Julian
30:11
Sayan's job to lose a lot of talent between him
30:14
and keen Holes. However, neither of them have the experience,
30:18
so I get that right there. Number nine, the Alabama
30:21
Crimson tied. I think this is a terrible spot for
30:23
them on the list because I don't think they should
30:24
be on the list. You have red shirt junior Ty Simpson,
30:27
He's likely your starter. I'm not saying ty Simpson can't
30:30
be good. What I'm saying is he's been at Alabama
30:32
for three years now. He's had opportunities to take the
30:35
starting job and he couldn't do it. You guys know
30:38
how I feel about Jaylen Milroe, and Ty Simpson couldn't
30:40
even beat out Jaylen Miler. Now you do have Keelan Russell,
30:44
the five star coming in. You have Austin Mack the
30:47
red shirt sophomore. He was a four star in twenty
30:49
twenty three. So I mean there's talent, But I mean
30:53
when you're telling me Ty Simpsons the leader of the clubhouse,
30:55
that doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in me until
30:57
he proves it on the field. Number eight eight is
31:00
the Auburn Tigers. I may actually put Auburn even a
31:03
little bit higher on this Listen, Jackson Arnold's going to
31:05
be the starter. I don't think there's any question about that.
31:08
But Ashton Daniels will be the backup. He started at
31:11
Stanford the last two years, so he comes in true
31:14
freshman Deuce Night looks like he could be the future
31:16
of the program. He was a five star in this
31:18
last recruiting class. That is a quarterback room with the
31:21
heck of a lot of talent. You have Penn State
31:23
at seven, Miami at six, Clemson Tigers at five. You
31:27
know Florida at four, Arizona State three number two. You
31:30
have the SMU Mustangs because Kevin Jennings is back at
31:33
quarterback after taking over at the early part of last
31:36
season and really never looking back. He led that team
31:39
to a College Football Playoff appearance. And then Tyler Van Dijk,
31:43
very proven backup six years senior. He's going to be
31:45
the backup to Kevin Jennings this year over there in
31:48
ford Worth, and the number one quarterback room in the
31:52
entire country according to PFF, is the LSU Tigers. Obviously,
31:58
Garrett Nelsmier is, in my opinion, five quarterback in all
32:01
college football. He's a legitimate Heisman candidate. He threw for
32:05
the fifth most passing yards in the nation last year,
32:08
but he's the leading returning passer in college football, meaning
32:11
no quarterback coming back this year. Threw for more yards
32:14
last season than did Garrett Nosmeier. Also behind him is
32:20
Michael van Buren. And we saw Michael van Buren last
32:24
year in Mississippi State. It was his true freshman season.
32:27
He was thrown into the fire after Blake Shapin went down,
32:30
and he did some nice things. Now, at times he
32:32
looked like a freshman, but he showed the ability to
32:36
go in there and make plays for you. Completed about
32:38
fifty five percent of his passes. He had almost two
32:41
thousand yards, eleven touchdown passes, seven interceptions. And that's being
32:45
thrown in there as a true freshman due to injury.
32:48
And let's be honest, he didn't have a lot of
32:50
talent around him over there at Mississippi State. So you
32:52
bring in a guy who's a veteran. I mean, this
32:55
was a surprise when LSU got him out of the
32:57
portal because when Blake Shapan announced he was returning the
33:00
Mississippi State that appears to be Jeff Levi's guy. Michael
33:03
van Buren's on the move and you're like, Okay, he's
33:05
going to go somewhere where he believes he can be
33:08
a starting quarterback. But he trusts Brian Kelly and Joe
33:11
Sloane enough to come here, sit behind Garrett Nelsmeier for
33:15
a year and maybe be primed and ready to take
33:18
over in twenty twenty six as the starting quarterback at
33:21
LL shoot van Buren though, Like you can break down
33:25
his numbers all day long, that's fine. But he had
33:29
eight starts in his true freshman season. But get this,
33:33
his first two came on the road against big time
33:37
defenses Texas and Georgia. He had a seventy nine passing
33:41
grade according to PFF, no turnover worthy plays in either
33:46
of those games. So he did a really nice job
33:50
early on. And it wasn't like he was eased into it.
33:52
I mean, you got to go on the road to
33:54
Texas and Georgia in your first two starts. That's about
33:56
as tough as it gets. You also have Collury. He
34:00
was a four star in last year's recruiting cycle. Now,
34:02
if you remember, Colin Hurley reclassified, so he essentially should
34:06
have been a senior in high school last year. Can
34:09
Hurley make that jump now? He wasn't here the entirety
34:13
of spring. He got into that car accident that hopefully
34:16
it appears like he's fully recovered from We'll we'll see
34:19
what happens there as more comes out about that, But
34:22
Colin Hurley is a guy that this coaching staff was
34:25
very excited about. And then, don't forget you moved Juwan
34:28
Johnson to a quarterback in the spring because of the
34:30
absence of a Colin Hurley. Now, is Juwan Johnson going
34:33
to go in there and throw passes down the field
34:35
to win a game for him? Probably not. But look,
34:38
when it was the decision was made to move Juwan
34:41
Johnson a quarterback, we sat here in this spot and
34:45
just talked about all the high school accolades for Juwan Johnson. Right,
34:48
he was statistically one of the best high school quarterbacks
34:51
in the state of Louisiana. Ever, as far as high
34:53
school football goes, he's going to be your change of
34:56
pace guy. If you need a quarterback to go in
34:58
there and run, he can't cause Van Buren he doesn't
35:00
really run either. Colin Hurley, again, we haven't seen much
35:03
of him in action, and we know Garrett Nosmeyer isn't
35:05
much of a runner. If you need a running quarterback,
35:08
Jwan Johnson is your guy. So he's kind of the
35:10
wild card in this room. But quarterback isn't the issue
35:15
for this team, like even if PFF would have played
35:18
LSU at one or ten, don't care what to change
35:21
my opinion about this room whatsoever. You could poke a
35:25
lot of holes in this team. You can look at
35:27
the defense and you can say, oh, they're a little
35:28
inexperience on the defensive line, even though I think they
35:31
did a nice job in the portal. Offensive line is
35:34
a question mark. You lose four of your five starters
35:36
from a year ago and you're not even sure DJ
35:38
Pikett's going to play the same position. But if you
35:44
look Garrett Nulsemeyer coming back his second year in this
35:47
program as the starting quarterback, you have Caden Durham next
35:51
to him in the backfield. Cayden Durham, his impact on
35:54
this team was underrated, if that makes sense. Last year,
35:58
the first three games year, you couldn't do anything. I
36:01
mean it really went until South Carolina on the road,
36:04
where Caden Durham made himself known. And you can say, Okay, well,
36:07
the O line's a big question mark. Yeah, but you
36:09
could run the ball last year for the majority of
36:12
the season. Cayden Durham's going to be better. If that
36:14
offensive line can be a decent run blocking team, you
36:19
might actually be better in the running it. It all
36:21
depends on what that O line looks like. That's the
36:23
big question mark for you on offense. Talked about this
36:27
a little bit yesterday when I was reacting to Joel
36:29
Klatt's list talking about, you know, Garrett Nelsemeyer cutting down
36:32
on the turnos. He did that late in the season.
36:35
We talked about it all season long. Last year's offense
36:38
was limited because you had no true deep threat because
36:41
Chris Hilton couldn't get healthy. Once Hilton got healthy in
36:45
the last three games of the season, Garrett Nelsmeyer seventy
36:49
two percent completion percentage, seven touchdowns, just one interception, and
36:53
Chris Hilton was a big reason why. Look at all
36:57
the potential deep ball threats here. Like the first deep
36:59
ball Garrett Neilsmer truly hit last year was against UCLA.
37:03
Was Kyle Parker down the sidelines for a touchdown. Still like,
37:06
in my opinion, the best ball Garrett Elsemeyer threw all
37:08
year long, and he threw some good ones. Kyle Parker
37:12
will be back. He actually didn't return after that game.
37:14
He was out the rest of the season due to
37:15
an injury. He's back. Hilton's back. Xavion Thomas, Aaron Anderson,
37:20
Barrying Brown. Johnnie Watkins is undersized, but can he make
37:24
an impact? We know how fast he is. You have
37:26
so many weapons to play with in this offense, and
37:28
that's just the deep ball guys. I mean, you have
37:31
a six to five receiver coming in and Nick Anderson,
37:33
who I'm excited about. Your tight end room top to
37:38
bottom might actually be better than a year ago. Like
37:40
I know, Mason Taylor was great, but you bring in
37:42
Bower Sharp, Tredez Green's a year older, and you have
37:45
Donovan Green from Texas A and M. That's a really
37:47
good room as well. The big question mark on this
37:49
team is offensive line. If the offensive line can hold up.
37:54
You have a second year starter, a fifty year senior
37:56
in Garrett Nelsemeyer. The last two times you had fifty
38:00
year senior two year starters at quarterback was Joe Burrow
38:03
and Jaden Daniels. They won the Heisman Trophy and Burrow
38:05
went and won the whole damn thing in the National Championship.
38:08
It's a lot of expectations to put on Garrett Owsmyer,
38:11
and I'm not saying he's going to do that. I'm
38:12
just saying that's the blueprint. We've seen it before. We
38:14
have seen him multiple times here in recent history. You
38:18
have all the weapons you need on the outside, more
38:21
so than you did a year ago. I think your
38:24
tight end room might be the most underrated group in
38:26
the entire team. I think your running backs are going
38:28
to be better. Caden Durham's going to spearhead that Caleb
38:32
Jackson's returning. You have two of the best running backs
38:34
in the country coming in Harlan Berry and JT. Lindsay
38:38
everything Garrett Nelsmyer needs to be successful. He has one
38:42
thing you look at is the offensive line. If that
38:45
can hold up, I think this offense could be as
38:47
good as any in the country. You're in twenty twenty five,
38:50
all right, We're going to take a time out. When
38:52
we get back, I want to mention an interesting race
38:55
that took place over the weekend leading up to the
38:58
ND five hundred. I can't believe I missed it yesterday

41:01
things you'll see. This is a misstep by me from
41:04
missing it during weekend winns So on Friday at the
41:07
Indianapolis Speedway where they do the Indy five hundred was
41:11
the first ever Weeny five hundred. So these were hot
41:15
dog shaped cars that reached top speeds of a whopping
41:19
fifty miles an hour. And get this, it was six
41:22
hot dogs. All US regions were represented, so the Chili
41:27
Dog from the South, the Chai Dog from the Midwest,
41:30

last lap, it's a dog eat dog world. As they
41:58
round the track for the final.
42:00
Speaker 10: Chi dog's still in the lead, but looks like maybe
42:04
a great run off of turn two here, Oh, I
42:08
think we might be having a race of the line.
42:11
Speaker 11: Musted many closing with the sloanog. Could she took up
42:14
the Weeni five hundred with a late pass on the
42:17
chineag less than a quarter miles ago with the Indianapolis
42:22
Motors Speedway for the inaugural Weeny five hundred.
42:26

43:01
Speaker 10: When and the closest finish and weedy five hundred.
43:05
Speaker 3: History, the closest finish in the first ever Weeny five hundred,
43:09
So it would have to be the closest in history. Guys,
43:10
this is what America is all about. I'm ranking this
43:13
right up there with the hot dog eating contest Joey
43:18
ches N Yeah, joy, Like Joey Chestnut should have driven
43:20
one of these dogs. Shout out to the slow dog.
43:22
Don't know if I've ever had a slaw dog, but
43:24
uh photo finish there in that race. So the Indy
43:28
five hundred was huge this weekend. Like Tom Brady got
43:32
to announce the Indy five hundred. He went there and
43:34
uh because Fox Sports had exclusive rights to the Indy
43:37
five hundred and Brady obviously with Fox Sports, and uh,
43:39
look he got up there and took a shot. He said,
43:41
you know, it's good to have one more good drive
43:43
in front of Indianapolis fans, you know, taking a shot
43:45
at the Colts Patriot drivery. They booed him over that
43:48
you got the Weenie five hundred here, like this is excellent.
43:53
I'll give Rivers Huey credit. She goes to the the
43:55
Starkville Derby every year in Starkville, which is right before
43:59
the Kentuck Derby. It's like a dog race. Really, I
44:02
don't know, is that only Corkies, It's only Wiener dog
44:06
It's only Okay, Okay, I need to see this. This sounds
44:09
because because I was like, I'm signing up Frankie next year.
44:12
He's super fast, but he's an Australian shepherd, so this
44:14
is probably absolutely going to.
44:18
Speaker 2: Go with her.
44:19
Speaker 4: But then that was the same weekend as Pearl Jam
44:21
and I ended up not even going to go see
44:23
Pearl Jam.
44:25
Speaker 3: So wait, what would you do? Is that the weekend
44:27
you got sick?
44:28
Speaker 1: No?
44:28
Speaker 6: But I just didn't feel like going, okay because.
44:30
Speaker 3: There was one weekend reasonably like really, say, I didn't know.
44:32
Speaker 2: I didn't know if that was sick, like back to
44:34
back that was insane.
44:36
Speaker 3: Well, the salaw Dog. Yeah, this is the most incredible thing.
44:41
I saw this yesterday at about noon, and I'm like,
44:44
how many hell did we miss this? Like all of
44:46
us missed it for weekend winters, Like I don't know,
44:48
I didn't even know the Indy five hundred took place
44:50
on Monday because AIG guess because like Memorial Day. Maybe
44:54
congrats to Alex Poulou. This segment's not about you, dude,
44:57
good job on your Indy five hundred win, but like
45:00
the first ever Weenie five hundred, Like this has to
45:02
be done more next year. I want to see like
45:04
an Oscar Meyer versus a Nathan's versus a ballpark, Like
45:08
we need different Weenie brand sponsorships.
45:10
Speaker 5: I want. I want ns on the Wienie machines.
45:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, fifty miles an hour a little slow, yeah, a
45:16
little slow for me. Like if you get professional drivers,
45:19
I don't see why you can't like the culture.
45:21
Speaker 6: They go that high is my thing. Like they might
45:24
not go.
45:26
Speaker 2: Per hour.
45:27
Speaker 3: I don't know how. I don't even know how many laps.
45:28
Then we saw everything I know about the Wii five
45:33
hundred you saw in that video.
45:34
Speaker 5: Yes, I know that it's great.
45:35
