• 2:48
  Speaker 4: go flowiv dot com.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Uh, before we get to a little LSU football, I
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: did want to get y'all's take on this. And I
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: saw this come across the wire DELI had it before
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I saw it anywhere else, but it certainly started to
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: make the rounds. The NCAA is exploring a significant change
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: to its eligibility rules. The proposal creates an age based standard.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Athletes would have five years of eligibility from their nineteenth
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: birthday or high school graduation, no red shirts or waivers,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: so you got five years. You can play in college
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: football for five years. So no more red shirting, no more.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Let's grant this guy a waiver because he got hurt
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: in this season, and seventh year seniors that goes away.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: But everybody is going to have another year to play. Now, you, Matthew,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: are somebody that was in college for five years, right,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: so you you know you red shirted, so you had
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: that process, so you know exactly kind of what this is.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: Like.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: I actually like this because, well, you can already play
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: how many games can you play?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Four? Yeah?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: So like when we were playing, it's like if you
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: played it all right, it was at all I think
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: it was one play now, okay, that's what I thought too,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Like four you can that's a lot four full games.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: I mean that's you know, thirty three point three three
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: three thirty.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: O the season.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: But I like this because let's get done with the waivers.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Let's get done with. Hey, we're in this situation because
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: like this guy's played four games, he can't play five,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: he's got a red shirt. Let's just let them have
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: five years, five years across the board.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: It's easy. We can figure it out now. The age
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: part of it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Nineteen I went to evangel I don't know how well
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: that would have done for us, but you were kidding.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I turned nineteen to DIREGRESSI high school sophomore. Uh So,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: if this does pass, it makes a lot of sense.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: That way, we don't have to worry about the waivers. Like,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I get it. I understand why you want it, But dude,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: if you're twenty six in college, you need to be
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: going to indeed dot com.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: It's time to move on and this gets rid of that.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Did it mention anything about medical? Yeah, they're talking about it.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: That's a waiver. Medical is a waiver. Yeah, got it.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: I mean there's all sorts of flight ways that people
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: are getting eligibility right now, right so, you know, who
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: knows what waiver they could be talking about. I mean,
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: I certainly like any rule that they can put on
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: college football and college athletics. I'm I'm for it. Yeah,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: I'm for it. Because it's a it's a train wreck
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: right now. It's a disaster.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: And then the proposal for the transfer is that you
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: kind of have what we always talked about. You get
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: that one time, you know, a wildcard. Here, I'm turning
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: it in transfer. Now you can do it twice if
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: you transfer, but then you graduate. If you graduate, you
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: can have a grad transfer.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: That cuts down on so much of the every single year.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go in the portal and I'm going
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: to hold these teams hostage. And I like it, dude
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: one time, because like for you, if you would have
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: ever transferred, I would have never blamed you. You were
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: good enough to play almost anywhere in the country. You said,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: behind the number one overall pick, if you wanted to leave,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: I would have been, like, I get it, I understand,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: like not all transfers are bad.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Like that would have made a life.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: If Garrett nuss Meyer, when he was sitting behind Jayden
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Daniels wanted to leave, I would not have blamed him
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: because he wanted to play, want to be a part
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: of it.
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I appreciate y'all staying and you know, playing your career
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: out here, obviously, but that like those make sense. That's
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: that's what it's for that one time. Ha, I'm gonna
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: turn this in because I'm gonna go somewhere. I'm gonna
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: go play, and you have that, and we don't have
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: the TJ. Finleys that play in seven schools.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: It's not it's not about the kid that gets but
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: hurt because he doesn't start as freshman year, right, because
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: there's so much Yeah, god, you're gonna you're gonna make
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: me get get on my lawn, aren't you.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Shaking my fist? That the people driving too fast in
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the neighborhood right, look up at those clouds and yeah,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: at them, yell at him. You're gonna do that.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: No, I love every any rule that you can that
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: you know, any common sense rule, because there's a lot
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: of common sense fixes in college athletics right now.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: And that that's to me, that's one of them.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you can, like, I'm not against transferring, but I
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: am against being able having the ability to transfer, threatn
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: a transfer every single year. They'd look at any other
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: professional sports in the world, and that's what college football is.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: It's professional sports. I got it.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Their contract deployees whatever they're getting paid to play a
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: sport and they're getting paid enough money to make a
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: living at playing a sport. But you look at any
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: other professional sport in the world, any other league that
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: actually knows what they're doing, and they would laugh at
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: you if you said, okay, every single person in the league, Hey,
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Roger Goodell, every player in your league is gonna be
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: on a one year contract every single year and they're
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: all going to enter free agency every single year. They
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: would laugh at you. They're like this, this this league
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: cannot function that way. We cannot survive as a business
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: or as a league by doing that well. And college athletics,
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: the players have the ability to be a free agent
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: every single year by just saying, hey, I'm entering the
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: portal and that's it.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: They're like, from a business standpoint, that's not sustainable over
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: a long period of time. It's just not like there's
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: not enough money out there to do that. Maybe for
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: a short amount of time, you can put your blinders
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: on because it works for a little while, and yeah,
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: you see the TV numbers and they're great, and they're good,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: so like it makes everybody feel good, but it's it's
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: a not sustainable over a long period of time. The
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: way college football is right now is to me, is
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: not sustainable. It's like dying from the inside out. You're
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: not going to see it for a little while, but
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: it kind of is unless you make these unless you
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: make some sort of just common sense changes. And I
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: get it, there's so much to fix, but there are
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: so many just like low hanging fruit on these common
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: sense things that can help the game, right and this,
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: this would be one of them. Yeah, you can't be
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: a free agent every single year. It doesn't make any sense.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no other professional sport is that ever, literally ever
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: going to be the case, Like they would laugh you
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: out of.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: The r And I get like the contrarian's going to
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: be like, well, coaches can do it, coaches can do
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: this and that, and.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Why can't the players? I get.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: I understand like at a surface level how that argument
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: can be made. But coaches and players are not the same. Well,
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: there's like.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: You have to there's only one hundred and thirty something coaches,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: right compared to the thousands.
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: What you're saying is there is a hierarchy like literally
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: everything else in life.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, like okay, literally everything else.
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, So it would be like, that'd be like me saying,
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: why don't I get the same salary as my balls?
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: Why can't I do that? Why did they get to
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: take off and I didn't? If you want to run
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: college football is a business, That's how business works. Sorry,
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: go be a coach up exactly.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Uh Don says two problems religious mission field work I e.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: B YU and those individuals who choose to go to
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: military straight out of high school to serve the country
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: and come back on the g I bill. Well Don
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: that there is actually here in what we're talking about.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: So no waiver, no red shirt. The exceptions that will
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: be permitted are a small group of outliers and those
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: are on maternity leave. Those who have military service are
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: religious missions. So they actually covered that. Okay, so military,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: religious missions and maternity.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: And again this is all covered by common sense. Yeah right,
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: this is a common sense thing. There's not one persons
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: that gonna be like, Nope, can't do that. Maternity leave, Nope,
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: that's one of your years, like military service. Not one
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: person's going to fight again, Like, yeah, it's all common sense.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: If you go to b YU and you're going on
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: your Mormon mission, like we've seen a lot of people do. Yeah,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: that's that's common sense, right, So you're flocks different than
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: somebody else's clock.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Mm hm.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: So yeah, because you're crying because you're a five star
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: and you actually suck and you're not playing because for
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: some somehow, the people that think they can scout and
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: no talent from a high school level, they got it
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: wrong and give you an extra star.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Ultra five star, Ultra plus, Premium, Eliite five star,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: extra plus extra.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: What it's gotta watch? God? How do you? What are
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: you based that off of? There is nothing more satisfying
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: There wasn't I'm old now than when we play against
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: somebody and they'd be like, this guy's a former five star.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: That sucks.
• 11:51
  Speaker 8: That's three years ago.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: But that guy's got the worst first step I've ever seen.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that guy didn't even know how to take on
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: a block who rated him a five star?
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Five star? What? What kind of stars were talking about?
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Christmas stars?
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Tiny little bitty stars were gonna have a whole show
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: on that.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: It's not their fault though, no, it's not. Well, some
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: of them use it. It's the it's the numb nuts that
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: gave him thetars and her numb nuts all, I mean
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: a perfect wow, no notes out of tune.
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: Yep, you in the day to your point though about
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: it's like, well, who ranked them? Well, you know the services, okay,
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: but like who ranked them? You know that, you know,
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: like nobody knows who these people are.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: You know, the guys that can go rank every player
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: from twenty five thousand high schools across the country.
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: So the industry rankings is what they call the industry ranked.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's got a quick twitch. Look at the top
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: of his route right there, he drops his hips.
• 12:57
  Speaker 9: I will be adding numb nuts to my arsenal. Yeah,
• 13:00
  Speaker 9: it's gonna get yeah, yeah.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I'll cite my work the first time, and then it's mine.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: That's always the role, right, So it works by Conflin said,
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: I'm nuts and that's it.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: That's it. Last time, it's going to be mine.
• 13:13
  Speaker 9: I'm with anything that puts some guardrails on the wild
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: wild West. That's happening right now.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Just like you said, yeah, doesn't it You give players, Hey,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: we still got you. Yeah, you got to transfer five years.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: If you graduate, you got to right. And then for coaches,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: it's more stability. It's not the ultimate stability.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: That they used to have. Yeah, but it's somewhere in
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: the middle.
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: Right, you made the comment of uh, or you just
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: brought up that it's it's five years from like when
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: you leave high school or whatever.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: And there's a couple of comments on.
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: The chat it's like, ah, yes, twenty four year old's
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: playing against nineteen year olds. Okay, they know they make
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: this argument all the time in high school.
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: And I get it.
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: In high school.
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: If you got a nineteen year old played against fourteen
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: and fifteen year olds, those kids are not physically developed.
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: You're a grown ass man when you're nineteen years old. Sorry,
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: I'll just talk about Well, of course they're good. They're

• 18:14
  Speaker 3: lot of two star recruits out there, and LSU's had
• 18:17

  Speaker 3: What a weekend series LSU is coming off of. I mean,
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: you win Friday's game, which obviously you do that on
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: the road, you feel really good about where you're at,
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: even though you drop Saturday's game. Coach, Sunday's game one
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: of the wildest games that I can remember ever watching.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, just a back and forth and then to
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: end up winning the game by ten runs, but so
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: much emotion, So many guys stepped up in big moments
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: in that game. I know for you, that had to
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: be something you enjoyed to see, you know, being down
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: to your last out, never giving up, finding a way
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: on the road. It gets a team that really really
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: wanted to beat you.
• 28:53
  Speaker 12: Yeah, no, doubt very proud of the players for what
• 28:55
  Speaker 12: they did to get us over the top in Sunday's game.
• 29:00
  Speaker 12: You know, there was a lot of adversity. He got
• 29:01
  Speaker 12: down early, kind of by our own, you know, mistakes
• 29:04
  Speaker 12: on defense. That's the pitching for the entire game on
• 29:08
  Speaker 12: Sunday with outstanding. You know, it's kind of an effort
• 29:11
  Speaker 12: from the mound where if you can get that, this
• 29:14
  Speaker 12: team is capable of winning every every Sunday game, which
• 29:17
  Speaker 12: is a huge deal. And then offensively, just no quit
• 29:21
  Speaker 12: and you know, playing in that ballpark, you know, actually
• 29:24
  Speaker 12: helped us out a little bit and we took advantage
• 29:27
  Speaker 12: of that. Obviously special performance by Cater and Beattie. Never
• 29:32
  Speaker 12: had a player at four home runs in a game,
• 29:34
  Speaker 12: and it was cool. You can kind of see it
• 29:36
  Speaker 12: coming Saturday. He took three really good at bats on Saturday,
• 29:39
  Speaker 12: walked wise, lined out the center, singled in his first
• 29:42
  Speaker 12: at bat, and Sunday homeward in the second at bat,
• 29:45
  Speaker 12: and just a great, great performance.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: Coach, what's it like when you have a player like
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: that that you can kind of see it building and
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: then all of a sudden one day it's like you're
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: seeing beach balls out there, Like, what's it like as
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: a coach when you seem like the build up, the
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: work and then it all just like come together perfectly
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: one day.
• 30:02
  Speaker 12: Yeah, it's awesome. Sign me up for those days more often.
• 30:06
  Speaker 12: I think the football version, I think that'd be like
• 30:10
  Speaker 12: you throwing eight touchdowns or Jacob scoring like eight touchdowns
• 30:13
  Speaker 12: in a game, maybe nine or ten? Yeah, right, yeah, yeah,
• 30:18
  Speaker 12: it was, it was. It was awesome. And you know,
• 30:20
  Speaker 12: he's a great player. I mean, he's got a lot
• 30:22
  Speaker 12: of talent and you know believe he could be one
• 30:25
  Speaker 12: of the best players here in this program and be
• 30:27
  Speaker 12: a longtime pro player. And you know, he's finding his stride.
• 30:31
  Speaker 12: He had a good game on Tuesday, Like I said,
• 30:33
  Speaker 12: he had good at bats on Saturday, had a good
• 30:35
  Speaker 12: game this Tuesday. And that's a big lift for our
• 30:39
  Speaker 12: team and and for our offense because and we're gonna
• 30:41
  Speaker 12: need it, Like we're in a stretch here, we're playing
• 30:43
  Speaker 12: some really good offenses and so keeping up will be
• 30:46
  Speaker 12: really important. And you know, Kid's performance the other day
• 30:49
  Speaker 12: is one. No, I don't think anybody will ever forget.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, coach, And I'm glad you mentioned that, because when
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: you have a game like that, like sometimes you can
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: unfortunately do things maybe outside of your body in the
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: next game because you're like, man, I hit four home runs,
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: I'm going to change my approach. I'm gonna see if
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: I can hit four more home runs. And like we
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: see it so often in baseball. I know for you
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: you mentioned it on Tuesday. To see him come back
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: and go three for five, have good at bats and
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: still stay in that groove.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: You know this, You've been in the game such a
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: long time. That's hard to do.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: So that's as impressive as anything is the fact that
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: he could come back, didn't change his approach, stayed locked
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: in and got three hits on Tuesday.
• 31:27
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and it's just a sign of growing and that's
• 31:30
  Speaker 12: part of this thing. And you're still talking about a
• 31:33
  Speaker 12: young player on the year and a half into his
• 31:35
  Speaker 12: college career, and you know, he did get a lot
• 31:38
  Speaker 12: of playing time when you consider it was the national
• 31:40
  Speaker 12: championship team and a freshman, but you know it was
• 31:43
  Speaker 12: a part time starter, you know, number two catcher, and
• 31:47
  Speaker 12: then you know, got off to a good start this
• 31:49
  Speaker 12: year and then went through some growing pains and then
• 31:51
  Speaker 12: you know, got nicked up a little bit, as as
• 31:53
  Speaker 12: catchers do Yeah, and then it's been good to get
• 31:56
  Speaker 12: him back in there and going because our team team
• 31:58
  Speaker 12: needs that. And Cade's a strong character guy. You know,
• 32:01
  Speaker 12: you can coach him hard and he can take it,
• 32:05
  Speaker 12: and I am probably a little too hard on him sometimes,
• 32:08
  Speaker 12: but it's it's awesome to see some of the growth.
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: Coach.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: I want to stick with this past week in a
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: little bit, just because it was such an incredible series,
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: and certainly Sunday was awesome. I don't think I've ever
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: seen a game that the team won by ten and
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: extra innings, and I gotta say it kind of to
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: me as a player, I would get a little bit
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: fired up seeing my head coach go get after the
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: ump a little bit. Coach, So you you had a
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: little some words on in the ninth inning this past weekend,
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: but after that, it just seemed like your team really
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: stepped up.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: What do you contribute that to?
• 32:42
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I was very proud of them for that. But
• 32:45
  Speaker 12: like I was, I was obviously proved right because the
• 32:48
  Speaker 12: called third strike was a Kate Aarpedia. It's like, look,
• 32:50
  Speaker 12: if you just make the pitcher throw the ball in
• 32:52
  Speaker 12: the zone, he's going to hit a home run. No,
• 32:56
  Speaker 12: I it just it was one of those tipping point
• 32:59
  Speaker 12: deals where it's like the basketball coach is like, hey man,
• 33:03
  Speaker 12: I'm getting a technical failure. Like I mean it was.
• 33:07
  Speaker 12: It is a bad call. And in that park with
• 33:09
  Speaker 12: a hitter like you could see as locked in as
• 33:11
  Speaker 12: Caid was, It's like, hey man, like, if this guy
• 33:14
  Speaker 12: throws the ball in the zone, we could be ahead
• 33:16
  Speaker 12: by a run with reouts to go to win the game.
• 33:19
  Speaker 12: Like you can't make that call. And it's sometimes you
• 33:22
  Speaker 12: go out there and not know what's going to happen.
• 33:24
  Speaker 12: It's like, I mean, it was like all right, I'll
• 33:26
  Speaker 12: see you guys on the bus, I guess because like
• 33:28
  Speaker 12: I'm not not coming back on this one and just
• 33:32
  Speaker 12: proud of the team, and you know, somebody's asking me
• 33:34
  Speaker 12: about it. And they have this cool area at Tennessee
• 33:37
  Speaker 12: where I was able to like watch the game like
• 33:39
  Speaker 12: in real time. And most of the time you get
• 33:41
  Speaker 12: kicked out, like the feeling is like gosh, you're dead
• 33:43
  Speaker 12: and you're just like watching your life happen without you.
• 33:47
  Speaker 12: This time, I mean, I was jumping up and down
• 33:49
  Speaker 12: and pounding the table, and the sport administrator at Tennessee
• 33:53
  Speaker 12: is probably like, what is wrong with this, dude, But
• 33:56
  Speaker 12: I was proud of the guys for sure.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they certainly staffed up. Jay Johnson, head baseball coach.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: Lsu is our guest here on OTB coach. Something else
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: I wanted to ask you about, Like, you've got three
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: guys that play catcher that are giving you competitive at bats,
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: and they're being competitive in almost everything they do. So
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: when you have a situation like that, are you trying
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: to find a way to get all three of those
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: guys in it? Does it change the rotation when you
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: have so many guys at one position that feel like
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: they're stepping up at the right time. What are those
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: conversations like with your other coaches to see how many
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: different ways maybe you can get all three of those
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: guys some at bats.
• 34:33
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean they're daily, even when you're playing for
• 34:36
  Speaker 12: the national title. As far as like what's best for today.
• 34:40
  Speaker 12: You know, when you have your best teams, you know
• 34:43
  Speaker 12: a little bit more like there's a little more clarity
• 34:45
  Speaker 12: to it, a little more simplicity to it. But you know,
• 34:48
  Speaker 12: we've been trying to kind of find our way through
• 34:50
  Speaker 12: the last month and a half here, and so we're
• 34:53
  Speaker 12: trying to get it right every day, and you know
• 34:56
  Speaker 12: those three guys, like you know, Cad obviously coming into
• 34:59
  Speaker 12: the season was clear really number one, and he's obviously
• 35:02
  Speaker 12: showing that again like right now, and we're happy about that.
• 35:06
  Speaker 12: You know, Omar is a talented of guys. I think
• 35:09
  Speaker 12: you can get past pro baseball to actually get to college.
• 35:12
  Speaker 12: And he's made a good impact. And really proud of Eddie,
• 35:16
  Speaker 12: you know, to step in and give us some help.
• 35:18
  Speaker 12: And you know, we're a little banged up right now.
• 35:21
  Speaker 12: So it's like this is a very fluid situation, like
• 35:24
  Speaker 12: the lineup for tomorrow is not clear at this time
• 35:28
  Speaker 12: because I got to see what guys are going to
• 35:30
  Speaker 12: be able to do. But knowing that those three guys
• 35:34
  Speaker 12: can give you something and they've all been nicked up
• 35:36
  Speaker 12: a little bit too, is really helpful. And I'm glad
• 35:39
  Speaker 12: you guys brought up the three and Eddie, like I mean,
• 35:42
  Speaker 12: you got on base four times the other night and
• 35:43
  Speaker 12: the start in five at bats, and he's just out
• 35:46
  Speaker 12: there competing and that's been a good lift. And good
• 35:49
  Speaker 12: news is all of them should be back next year,
• 35:51
  Speaker 12: so that's a good thing too.
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: So yeah, coach.
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: On Tuesday night, Mason Brown plays first base for you,
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: How do you think he did and how do you
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: think that first base position will play itself out here
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: in the near future.
• 36:02
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I think he did fine. I think he's a
• 36:04
  Speaker 12: really good baseball player. Another guy that you know, we'll
• 36:06
  Speaker 12: have here for a couple more years that I think
• 36:08
  Speaker 12: is going to emerge into that really classic, really good
• 36:12
  Speaker 12: college hitter at LSU and eventually be a pro defensively
• 36:17
  Speaker 12: in outfield er, first baseman. He's just one of those
• 36:19
  Speaker 12: guys that loves baseball and is going to give everything
• 36:23
  Speaker 12: he has to be the best player he can be,
• 36:25
  Speaker 12: So he fits really well for us here. I thought
• 36:28
  Speaker 12: he did fine. You know, we had the one pick play.
• 36:32
  Speaker 12: I couldn't tell if it was a bad thrower he
• 36:35
  Speaker 12: missed it. You had a ball hit hard at him
• 36:38
  Speaker 12: or just to the right of him. Sorry that that
• 36:40
  Speaker 12: got through for an RBI single, But that I mean
• 36:42
  Speaker 12: it was a hit. It wasn't a non play or
• 36:44
  Speaker 12: anything like that. But picked the ball out of the dirt,
• 36:48
  Speaker 12: you know, caught every ball that was thrown to him.
• 36:51
  Speaker 12: So I thought he did fine. How it goes is
• 36:54
  Speaker 12: probably still day by day. Like he's a big part
• 36:56
  Speaker 12: of our future and we seem to score runs when
• 36:59
  Speaker 12: he's in the lineup, so it's a guy I want
• 37:02
  Speaker 12: to play. Still have a lot of faith in Zach,
• 37:04
  Speaker 12: like we believed he was one of the better hitters
• 37:07
  Speaker 12: that we could have brought in this year that was
• 37:09
  Speaker 12: available at the time he was available. That's some good
• 37:12
  Speaker 12: at bats for us. Has struggled a little bit lately,
• 37:15
  Speaker 12: and you could kind of live with it as long
• 37:17
  Speaker 12: as the defense was good. Had a tough weekend defensively
• 37:19
  Speaker 12: against Tennessee. But you know, for us to be a
• 37:22
  Speaker 12: good team, we need both those guys to play well.
• 37:24
  Speaker 12: You know, we could roll Eddie over there, We could
• 37:26
  Speaker 12: roll them all over there. So we'll see. But the
• 37:28
  Speaker 12: goal is just to get all of them playing as
• 37:30
  Speaker 12: good as they can and then figure out what's best
• 37:32
  Speaker 12: for the team based on the pitching matchups and all that.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, coach, another player that we've talked about a lot
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: with you that is certainly back to his standard is
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Zach Cowen on the mound.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: And you know, when you have an injury in.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: Your rotation, you're trying to find pieces to put together
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: to you know, be it Saturday, be it Sunday, come
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: in and close the game from the fifth inning on
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: or whatever the situation might be. He feels so important
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: to the ball club right now, and he feels like
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: he is going at that level that we've seen him
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: so many times in his college career.
• 38:02
  Speaker 12: Yeah, no doubt, I'm glad you brought that up. I
• 38:04
  Speaker 12: feel like his last two out I mean, as good
• 38:06
  Speaker 12: as he pitched last year, which was a big reason
• 38:09
  Speaker 12: we won the national championship. His last two outings maybe
• 38:13
  Speaker 12: his best two outings he's had here and in two
• 38:16
  Speaker 12: big SEC wins, you know, the previous Saturday against Kentucky
• 38:19
  Speaker 12: and then this Sunday against Tennessee, And a big part
• 38:23
  Speaker 12: of what we're doing. The confidence, the poise, the experience,
• 38:27
  Speaker 12: it's just like it's all there. And you know, it
• 38:30
  Speaker 12: was kind of a tough start to the year for him,
• 38:34
  Speaker 12: but he's really gotten back on track in league play,
• 38:37
  Speaker 12: and I mean he's pitched in three of our six
• 38:40
  Speaker 12: SEC wins. I don't think that's a coincidence at all.
• 38:43
  Speaker 12: And really looking forward to him continue to go out
• 38:46
  Speaker 12: there and contribute for us, because that gets us over
• 38:50
  Speaker 12: the top when you talk about having a chance to
• 38:51
  Speaker 12: win a series in league play.
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: Coach, a couple of weeks ago you lost Super More
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: and you've had to kind of it's been a lot
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: of people have to step up on a Sunday. But
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: the last two weeks you've won both games on Sunday
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: and you've scored seventeen runs and sixteen runs. Is that
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: just a team that understands that, hey, look, we're down
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: one of our starters that we had going into SEC play.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: We got to pick it up on the offensive side
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: of things. It's just or is that just kind of
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: a coincidental thing that we just got hot at the
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: right time.
• 39:23
  Speaker 12: Yeah, No, I think there's some intentionality to it.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 39:26
  Speaker 12: You know, confidence is a big deal in our sport.
• 39:29
  Speaker 12: It's a really, really, really really big deal. And I
• 39:34
  Speaker 12: think we tried to give them a blueprint of, like,
• 39:37
  Speaker 12: you know, your case and Evans on Friday, everybody feel
• 39:40
  Speaker 12: good about your chances on Friday, everybody obviously raises their hands.
• 39:43
  Speaker 12: He got William Schmidt on Saturday. Obviously, everybody feels good
• 39:46
  Speaker 12: about our chance to win with those two guys. And
• 39:48
  Speaker 12: then yeah, I mean, looking at it, it's sixteen seventeen
• 39:52
  Speaker 12: and I think we scored sixteen at Vanderbilt, So in
• 39:54
  Speaker 12: three of the four game threes in the SEC we've
• 39:58
  Speaker 12: really produced offensively. We're going to win if we score sixteen,
• 40:01
  Speaker 12: So like like just keep going. And you know, there's,
• 40:06
  Speaker 12: like I said, there's some development like happening in this
• 40:09
  Speaker 12: thing you're mentioning Cade, you know, Mason Brawn, Like we
• 40:14
  Speaker 12: got guys that are getting better and even some of
• 40:16
  Speaker 12: the returning players that were part of last year's championship.
• 40:19
  Speaker 12: And I think they understand, like that day they it
• 40:22
  Speaker 12: kind of has to go on them right now, you know.
• 40:24
  Speaker 12: And that was the tough deal about Tuesday is like
• 40:27
  Speaker 12: actually thought we were ready to play, playing well in
• 40:29
  Speaker 12: the game. We just couldn't get off the field very
• 40:32
  Speaker 12: often without giving up a run. And that seventh inning
• 40:34
  Speaker 12: got away from us on both sides of the ball.
• 40:36
  Speaker 12: And you know, lose to a team's convenience State tournament,
• 40:40
  Speaker 12: Like you know, it's how goes. Team that plays best
• 40:42
  Speaker 12: serves to win so offensively on game three is they
• 40:46
  Speaker 12: know they got to bring in and this is a
• 40:47
  Speaker 12: good challenge this weekend because this is this is the
• 40:49
  Speaker 12: best pitching staff we will have faced by far coming
• 40:51
  Speaker 12: this weekend.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and coach, that was actually going to be our
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: last question for you a team that we said it
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: before you came on. You know them well, they know
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: you well. Going to Oxford, Mississippi. Now this is none
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: of your doing, but I don't know if you've heard
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: LSU and Old Miss over the last couple of months,
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: they've had some back and forth. So even though it's
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: not your sport, probably gonna get a little bit of
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: that towards your team, kind of how you see Ole
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: miss as a baseball team and kind of what you're
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: expecting from the atmosphere there in Swayze.
• 41:20
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I think from their team standpoint, they hit a
• 41:25
  Speaker 12: lot of homers. They got a lot of power, you know,
• 41:28
  Speaker 12: that's part of it. Like you got a limits free
• 41:30
  Speaker 12: basis because they're gonna pop one every once in a while.
• 41:33
  Speaker 12: It's a small park like Tennessee. Tennessee seems to get
• 41:36
  Speaker 12: more ridicule for it, but they're actually very similar stadiums,
• 41:41
  Speaker 12: So you got that dynamic on the mound. Like I said,
• 41:45
  Speaker 12: they come at you with about well three really good starters,
• 41:49
  Speaker 12: but then they have a good bullpen as well, so
• 41:50
  Speaker 12: you're gonna have to grind to score runs. We do
• 41:53
  Speaker 12: think there's some small advantages for us in this that
• 41:58
  Speaker 12: we're going to go for and we're gonna try to
• 42:00
  Speaker 12: expose and they'll be essential on us coming out of
• 42:03
  Speaker 12: there if we're going to be successful. So I'm excited
• 42:06
  Speaker 12: to line that up with the team here over the
• 42:08
  Speaker 12: next forty eight hours or so before we go. As
• 42:12
  Speaker 12: far as the environment, like I've only played there once
• 42:15
  Speaker 12: and we swept and we played great in twenty twenty three,
• 42:18
  Speaker 12: and so I have very positive feelings about that place.
• 42:21
  Speaker 12: It is a really cool place, like I'd never the
• 42:24
  Speaker 12: only time I've ever been to Oxford was when we
• 42:26
  Speaker 12: played there in twenty twenty three, and you know, you
• 42:29
  Speaker 12: can see why they've had some success, won a national championship.
• 42:32
  Speaker 12: Like their building looks like a real football like building, honestly,
• 42:36
  Speaker 12: and like the player amenities and the fans are into it,
• 42:39
  Speaker 12: and so we're I guess I don't even know who
• 42:42
  Speaker 12: Morgan Wallen was, but I guess he was sitting next
• 42:44
  Speaker 12: to our dugout there last time before a concert, and
• 42:47
  Speaker 12: so I do now. Yeah, So it's it's cool. We're
• 42:52
  Speaker 12: looking forward to it, Like these hostile environments are one
• 42:55
  Speaker 12: of the reasons you want to play in these deals,
• 42:58
  Speaker 12: and at least since I've been here. That's brought out
• 43:00
  Speaker 12: the best in our program, and I hope it's the
• 43:02
  Speaker 12: same for these guys. It certainly did last week.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Coach September nineteenth.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: If you want to be my plus one in the
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: radio booth to go back to Oxford, Mississippi when you
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: don't have to play a game that the invitees out there.
• 43:15
  Speaker 12: All right, I'm holding you to that, like I'm definitely
• 43:18
  Speaker 12: holding you to that. Okay, Yeah, I can't imagine why
• 43:22
  Speaker 12: they're not happy to see all.
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Go on, Coach, we appreciated every single Thursday.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: Safe travels, best of luck, and we'll catch up next week.
• 43:32
  Speaker 12: All right, guys, have a great day.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: All right, you as.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: Well, Jay Johnson Elshue, head baseball coach, get enough to
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: join us every single week here on OTB. All right,
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: we'll take a break, wrap up our number two when
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: we come back here live from the Raisin Kines studio.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Off the bench are go to Russell Pools dot com.
• 43:47

• 43:51

  Speaker 3: and they make sure that your dream is a reality.
• 44:00
