Welcome back to another edition of the Justin Tom Podcast.
0:10
I'm here with Will, how you doing?
0:12
Good brother, how you doing? How you doing?
0:13
Doing? Doing good.
0:15
Nice Mother's Day and everything.
0:17
Oh yeah, everything just had a Mother's Day gathering at the at
0:20
our church, you know, and our pastor, you know, just her being
0:24
the prophet of the house is a blessing and just really have
0:26
that covering spiritually. And of course, I don't the rest
0:29
of mothers of our church home. So it's a blessing of a day, you
0:32
know, just to see what the Lord does every day, you know, just
0:36
can't take it for granted. I know a few mothers who didn't
0:39
have a good day because their son's got their butts kicked.
0:42
You know, real quickly, we're just going to break down the
0:45
weekend. We're not going to go into it
0:47
too much because frankly, it was painful and I don't want to go
0:51
through it that all that much. And and nor should you.
0:55
It's not a good. So let's start with the first
1:00
game, then we'll go second game. We'll go the good, the bad and
1:05
the ugly. That's what we'll call this.
1:09
I'm going to be fine. So honestly, I think we look
1:12
good. We weren't terrible on the
1:14
mound. We just cannot this year.
1:17
We just cannot finish ball games.
1:20
You know, we go, we score 2 in the first, Schmidt get gives up
1:26
two as well on. He gets a line after third base
1:30
to start it off. Then he gives up a home run.
1:32
Oh well, So what those guys have been hitting home runs.
1:37
They lead the SEC in home runs. Whatever.
1:40
One home run, that guy's not going to beat you.
1:46
You hit a guy. Yeah.
1:50
You get another guy, you walk another guy.
1:53
Just like that basically. You strike somebody out, you
1:56
think, oh, he's turning around a walk.
2:00
Georgia puts up two in that inning.
2:03
We got a strike out to end it. Good job.
2:05
Second inning, we don't get nothing need to do that.
2:09
We go to the third strikes out start a homeless the center
2:12
field. Curio singles.
2:14
Aaron Beatty sent homeless the center field.
2:17
My own struck out Pearson Homer to left.
2:22
I'm feeling really good. I think we're going to blow this
2:24
thing open until strikeout. Single wild pitch out at first
2:29
on fielder's choice or run scores on 4 to one.
2:32
I'm still feeling good. Go to the top of the fourth, we
2:35
get another run across. Carrie Allan had a SAC fly and
2:39
we scored. They get another run.
2:41
These ones came off a hit, so I'm fine with that.
2:43
We start doing good, we start doing good, we start going cold
2:47
offensively to run home run from Georgia, then end up followed by
2:51
another home run. I think at this point the game
2:53
is now tied. No, we're up by 1.
3:05
Now here's where I take issue. And while I think that it going
3:13
to Birmingham ties speeds a lot of things up with these reviews,
3:19
I think the rule needs to change and we need to go to centralized
3:23
NCAA location because there is no excuse for what transpired in
3:29
with that call in the 7th where we go up one.
3:32
But because let me be nice. There you go.
3:36
Wes Johnson wants interference on Curiel, who never touched
3:41
him, by the way. I think that was just him
3:44
whining. I think his foot came off the
3:46
base. If his foot was on there, you
3:47
need a microscope to see it. And I think that overturned call
3:51
was horrible. Yeah, that was called was saying
3:54
just like, you know, it's if you stick to the call like it'd be
3:58
one thing if it's out, it's out say something like, but to
4:01
overturn it with that with that my new like just.
4:05
You needed a microscope. To see that right and like, and
4:08
he was saying indisputable evidence, you got to have to
4:12
that's the bottom line. I mean, listen, you got Hawkeye,
4:15
listen, nobody's perfect, but it's like that's A at a serious
4:19
point of the game. We in the bottom stretch of the
4:21
game so. You can't make that call.
4:24
So we go, they give us one, I think the next half inning
4:29
because that dude didn't raise his hand and that was on runners
4:32
interference or batters interference.
4:34
But we give up a three run home run and that's all she wrote.
4:38
That's really that's it. The LSU books, people got tired.
4:41
They didn't even put the last two innings.
4:43
Then we hit the ugly. There you go.
4:46
Georgia comes up with an 8 run second because we couldn't get
4:49
out to the inning and I need to change that on the spread on our
4:52
sheet I gave pass. OK, got you.
4:55
Got you. Hell no, that ain't that ain't
4:57
happened. Screw it.
5:00
I'll give it to Evan since he came back from injury.
5:03
That's my reason. We just looked horrible.
5:07
There's no better way to say that.
5:08
I don't feel I'm not going to go through this game pitch by pitch
5:11
like I did the first one. Yeah.
5:13
We gave up. At one point.
5:16
I was watching the game and I was doing other stuff.
5:19
At one point I got up to use the bathroom.
5:22
O'Shaughnessy hit a home run. I got up to get some water.
5:31
Is she coward hit a home run? I got up to go see what was at
5:34
the door. Another dude hit a home run.
5:37
Every time I got a home run, they got a home run.
5:39
I got up. Now listen now the pattern.
5:43
So I said you got to. So I sat down the rest of the
5:45
game and we still lost. I mean, you got to sing it like
5:49
this. At least you're not ready.
5:51
I was speaking not being rigid, but.
5:52
And then this horrible you would think with your back against the
5:56
wall, somebody would step up and show a little backbone.
6:00
What the hell is you now? 12 to one and seven on Mother's
6:08
Day? That's not a good look,
6:10
especially. When you try to fight.
6:12
Your way into a regional. Yes, all day.
6:18
So yeah, the bliss. I don't know if you remember
6:21
this, but we talked about it at the beginning.
6:24
Well, just BJ Johnson's first team to win the SEC tournament.
6:29
And I put a clip up on TikTok and everybody was saying we
6:32
don't care about that. We don't care about that.
6:36
Somebody said, well, only if we need to, if we need to win the
6:39
SEC tournament to get in the NCAA tournament, I'm going to
6:43
put that clip right here in Planet.
6:46
But, you know, we need to win the SEC tournament now.
6:49
We don't have a choice. It doesn't matter what we do
6:52
against Florida. I mean, it would help to get a
6:56
sweep on Florida. You almost need to win the
6:58
right. You need to win out.
7:00
To keep playing, you have no option.
7:01
You have no option at this point.
7:04
You have no option. You need to win to keep going.
7:06
This is playoff baseball now. A week into the season, a week
7:10
left in the season. This is playoff baseball.
7:12
If you want a chance at the tournament, you need to start by
7:16
when sweeping Florida. Yeah, I still would say they
7:22
need to win the SEC tournament. I totally agree with you.
7:26
If not, I think Jay Johnson gets a leg up on everybody else and
7:29
he's going to be back with a vengeance next season because
7:32
he's got all of June to put together A-Team.
7:36
He's got an extra month and honestly, without pitching, we
7:40
could win the SEC Championship, we could win the tournament.
7:43
Hoover's a big ballpark and it plays small.
7:46
Our defense, I don't think can cut it.
7:49
As it has it cut it all year unless.
7:53
They unless they go out and buy seven more players right now and
7:58
just put them in, I say 7, but you got Braun, Milo and Curio.
8:04
So really six, you go buy six players right now and you put
8:09
them on the field and the rest of them is uniform and you might
8:12
have a chance. But at the moment they can't
8:15
play solid defense playing that big park.
8:17
I think they get one or two wins in the SEC tournament and I
8:21
think it's just all downhill from there because this isn't
8:24
like the 2014 who needed to make a good run.
8:28
You know, they just. Yeah, I'm sorry.
8:31
No, you go. I was saying, you know, it's
8:33
funny, like, you know, as each day goes by, I feel like a lot
8:37
of lot of fans are really appreciating the 2014 more each
8:41
day. You know, it's it's one thing to
8:43
see it like in the when you're in it, because like, you know,
8:46
I, you know, my corgi and I were talking about it.
8:48
Just 24 was a it was a rough watch for a good bit and we
8:51
started 3 and 12. This team, this year's team
8:54
actually was started the first half a conference better than at
8:57
2014 because 2014 started 3 and 12.
9:00
Now they finished ten and five. So like today cred, they have
9:03
some Star Wars, you know, jump a little bit like they have some
9:06
foundation to stand on, especially in the second-half of
9:08
the year. This thing that doesn't no
9:10
consistency that they could stand on and hold their hat to.
9:13
Yeah, let's see. The only hope I have is that if
9:19
we sweep Florida. To get that momentum.
9:23
We'll get that momentum. We'll be 12 and 18 going in the
9:29
2014 finished the SEC regular season with thirteen wins and 17
9:34
losses. That'll put us a game behind
9:36
them, but I think they can make some ground up in the SEC
9:39
tournament if they need to. Problem is, I don't feel like
9:44
that's a possibility. That that's the really the
9:47
bottom line because you know, you brought up, you know, just
9:50
right before we went live, you know, it's amazing how full
9:52
circle this is. You know, we were talking about
9:54
before the season just, you know, about, you know, do we
9:57
really need to win a conference championship or a conference
10:01
tournament to this team? Can they win it?
10:03
And like, you know what I said, you know, we grew up, you know,
10:06
just, you know, LSU has been so steady in baseballs is yeah,
10:09
they can win any tournament they want.
10:11
I just don't prioritize it because it's sports like
10:13
baseball and basketball. You have so many games during
10:16
the regular season, like if you have a high RPI, if you're in a
10:19
tough conference, you're going to get the the quad one wins or
10:22
the RP high RPI, whatever the case may be.
10:25
So it's not going to damage you if you don't have a conference
10:28
tournament went to your belt or a conference championship.
10:33
This is a unique situation because they desperately need
10:35
it. And like you said, one thing
10:37
about, you know, Coach J, he hasn't won a conference
10:40
championship yet now, which it doesn't bother me because two
10:43
national championships in 4 1/2 years, but that's a great
10:45
consolation prize. So I mean, that's the bottom
10:48
line. So.
10:49
But this is the time for you. This is the perfect time to get
10:52
your first conference. It's OK because you desperately
10:55
need it this year. I.
10:58
Mean, you know, you look at it and I mean you.
11:01
The way this season has gone, it's almost poetic that they
11:05
need to win the conference tournament.
11:07
Yes. If you look at past years, we
11:10
could go home in the conference tournament.
11:12
We could you really use it as momentum?
11:15
Yeah. You know, early pulmonary years,
11:20
pulmonary just went out and just played it full out and won it
11:23
when he didn't really need to. But I think his teams were
11:26
borderline, like they were national City, but they were #9
11:31
going in and they needed that, yeah.
11:33
To go to bump, yeah, that's fair.
11:35
We. Need the extra bump to get in
11:37
the tournament this year, but let's go ahead.
11:40
Nuts. Let's go.
11:43
Let's go ahead and give our powerhouse post for this week
11:47
and then move on. I'll let you go first.
11:52
Let's do it. So we're going to start off with
11:54
pitching. You know, I got, you know, I'm
11:56
going to be honest with you. I've struggled with pitching
11:58
like just like right before we went live, I made that game time
12:01
decision to make that put that third guy up here.
12:04
But it's like pitching just gave us nothing.
12:08
You know, by I put Casey nevins #1, Danny lockenmire #2 and
12:12
Devin Sheeran at 3rd again, like just take it with a grain of
12:15
salt because they just did not show up the second time and
12:18
second weekend and three weekends.
12:20
No, this is a last week. You know, to that credit, they
12:22
did what they had to do, But that's a that's just a, an
12:25
indictment or more so on South Carolina.
12:27
But you know, do this. We allowed 36 runs during the
12:31
UGA series, double digits every game, including the, the run
12:34
rule on in game three. That's not going to win you.
12:36
That's a that's a 12/12/12 runs a game on average.
12:40
Like, you're just not going to win.
12:42
But but I want I put his case in first, you know, First off,
12:45
shout out to him. Return from injury this late in
12:47
the season. Not only pitched 1 2/3, but his
12:50
three KS were tied for the second most by any LSU pitcher
12:53
during the Georgia series. 3 strikeouts was tied for the
12:58
second most by any pitcher on the staff this weekend.
13:03
And look, we lead the SCC and walks and hit by pitches and
13:07
wild pitches. We also lead the country in
13:10
strikeouts, so having our pitchers only the second highest
13:14
one beat 3 strikeouts, that's wild to me.
13:18
Yeah, am I and it shows like the talented we people talk about
13:22
the rag online or does not that it can be the most talented they
13:25
lose it. I mean talent is about
13:26
projection and it's like and you see the talent flash throughout
13:29
the year. It's just bottom line, just the
13:31
production. That's exactly bottom line if
13:34
you are you. Can look at talent and you're
13:36
going to be the most talented team on paper and I don't know
13:40
why LSU fans weren't used to this by now with having the most
13:43
talented team on player players on the team on paper and having
13:48
a disappointed season. It happens every football
13:50
season. Look at Brian Kelly.
13:53
I mean every year that man disappointed as he who had the
13:56
most talented team he's ever had on paper each year for him to be
13:59
a giant disappointment. And I'm not saying that's Jay.
14:03
I'm just saying I don't. Think I think.
14:05
Jay looked at the numbers this year with the little time he had
14:10
from the end of June to August when he got kids on campus, and
14:15
I think he saw numbers that jumped out at him and he wasn't
14:18
focused on personalities, mission like he was in the past
14:22
years. Yeah, just like I said, you
14:26
know, it's just like I said, we're not going to be this
14:30
program has too much history. You know, it's hard to it's
14:32
going to be rare to to be bored of of talent on this team, but
14:36
it's come out to the to the, you know, to the production.
14:39
I put Danny Lockenbaum at the police stuff up real quick.
14:42
He's only one of the other guys had like a like a fair amount of
14:45
work, 2 and 2/3 and they had one strikeout.
14:48
But I mean, he kept it. He only gave up one earned run.
14:51
So that's what it gave me. Gave him the ads for me for 2nd
14:54
place. You know, just limited the
14:56
damage and whatever out of you have, however talk however long
15:00
you out there like you put like I got Devin sharing at 3rd, you
15:04
know, for really the same reason when I get to write down his
15:09
Yeah, so two and two and a third.
15:11
You know, he gave up four and runs, but he had the second time
15:13
for the second most strikeouts, but with three.
15:16
You know, Gavin Guidry had three strikeouts 2 but only had one
15:18
and 2/3. So I just gave the answer to
15:20
Deborah because he had more work on the mound.
15:22
Like you say, there was nothing much to gain with the pitcher.
15:25
Pitcher was a was a mess this week.
15:27
I'll let you do your offense and defense and then I'll do mine.
15:31
OK, yeah, so back and forth. Yeah, totally understand.
15:34
So offense I got, I put Derek Curio number curio #1 Mason Bond
15:39
2 and Kate Aaron beat at third. You know Curio he led the team
15:43
with 5 fifths over the weekend on 10 at bats including RBI.
15:46
Think it was a sack flow, RBI and three walks.
15:49
Yeah. So just saying he had three
15:51
walks. So like, listen, I mean, will
15:53
you get on base 5th 5, you have a 500 on base procedures via
15:58
hit, including other three walks.
16:01
I mean you that's a very productive weekend for me.
16:03
So Mason Braun, he had four hits and two walks.
16:07
And so obviously he was steady throughout the weekend.
16:10
As far as Aaron B, despite only he only had two hits, he edged
16:13
out record for me because Rucker had three hits for the weekend.
16:15
I gave Aaron B to the S because he had five ribbies so and reach
16:20
base twice via walk. So when you talk about a series
16:23
like they, they were pretty solid offensively outside the
16:26
game 3, they're very solid offensively.
16:28
And you know, when you, when you bring in five runs, I mean,
16:30
you've done, you've done your part.
16:32
I always say get on base and get home.
16:34
That's OK. Look, you don't need 70 home
16:36
runs for five different players. I don't care about that.
16:39
I love home runs, but I mean, it's, it's hard to hit home
16:41
runs. So get on base, get home.
16:43
So you got 5 ribbies. He got on base and got people
16:46
home so like and so he that was a very productive recap.
16:49
That's the only reason he asked out Rucker.
16:52
As far as my defence, you know, Steven Milam, Derek Carrillo and
16:55
I put Jack Rucker against Milam. What canmore can you say?
16:58
I mean just like you said, it's this whole season race for 2nd
17:01
place, the defence. Yeah.
17:03
No, Carrillo collected several fly outs, including an amazing
17:06
dive and catching game, one which was preventing the run
17:09
from coming home. Obviously in the hindsight
17:11
doesn't matter, but I mean at at that moment, you know, just
17:14
preventing scores, you know, it's a big that's a big play to
17:18
make. He's been so steady and Rucker,
17:20
obviously, you know, Rucker last like he even though, you know,
17:23
they had like a miss play with him and a couple other guys had
17:26
missed like a shallow fly ball by me.
17:28
I don't I didn't put that on him fully because it was like two
17:31
other people in the area. But he was still very active in
17:34
the infield with like a multiple ground outs and he had like a
17:36
deep like a deep ground like throughout the first.
17:39
So, so just like, you know, it's like a very deep throw to make
17:43
the first. So I which I thought was
17:44
impressive. So those are my guys.
17:47
Yeah, mine are like you said, pitching wasn't much, but I got
17:51
really, you can plug these guys in in any order because none of
17:54
them did great. But I got Sharon Schmidt and
17:56
Evans for #3 and Evans made the list because like I said
18:02
earlier, he was coming back from injury and he fought out of a
18:05
bases loaded, no out situation. Yeah, that's true.
18:08
Yeah. Then offense, I got Aaron
18:11
Beatty, Sarna and Braun, the kind of thing that Cernan did
18:16
this weekend with a back injury. Yeah, yeah.
18:21
Was amazing. Yeah, I respect that.
18:24
That's a good point. Then defense, Curielle and
18:29
Braun. I don't even need to say it.
18:30
Marlon's number one. Then honestly, I don't have a
18:34
tone setting Tiger because I'm tired of doing it.
18:37
I just put it loud, baby. Like I just put listen, everyone
18:40
and everything, you know, like I said last week, we've been.
18:44
Saying, we've been saying that all season long.
18:47
It's everybody and nobody shows up with attitude, the attitude
18:52
to win. They don't have that FU attitude
18:56
like they had in the years past. And it wasn't a confidence
19:00
thing, an overconfidence or an arrogance thing.
19:03
It was a confidence thing. They just knew that they had
19:06
confidence that they were better than everybody else saw out on
19:09
that field. That was good.
19:10
They were going against. They would lose.
19:12
They would be pissed off in the meeting.
19:15
They weren't sitting around like, yeah, I talked to that guy
19:18
out there. He was really great.
19:20
They would know I did this wrong.
19:22
I did this. I need to improve here and here
19:24
and here. And you know, they don't have
19:29
that this year. I really think it's a team
19:30
leadership thing. It's a big store in the earliest
19:33
part of the year and it started to, you know, resettle in.
19:37
But I mean, just, you know, that's that's been a that's been
19:41
a talking point for sure and understand the show and like,
19:45
and The thing is like Martika, like just like you have former
19:48
put like said the same thing. So it's like, you know, you can
19:52
I mean, you can take a fan's word with a grain of salt, but
19:54
it's just I mean, obviously everything is not what they say
19:57
is Bible, but I mean, you know, these guys, they feel it.
20:01
They know that what it takes to play here at a high level and
20:04
the expectation, you know. You know, early on in the
20:07
classroom, just to talk to my students because we did this
20:10
thing called the 7A's and stuff for jobs.
20:15
I played in a video in the middle of it of the nickel
20:18
demonstration by Steve Berman. You've ever seen it?
20:23
It's been a while. It's like he's.
20:25
He has a stack of nickels and he bends 1, He bends 2 of them and
20:29
he point is, you can't stack if somebody's been out of shape or
20:32
somebody doesn't fall in the line.
20:35
You can't build a foundation off of them.
20:38
I think that's the problem with this year's LSU team, baseball
20:41
team. There's a lot of egos and
20:43
there's not a lot of team meshing, you know, or it could
20:47
just be injuries across the board.
20:50
Well. Injuries haven't helped at all.
20:52
I mean, it just it just like compounds the struggles.
20:56
Yeah, I'll see you right here. Shout out to the GOAT.
21:01
You know, some stuff happened this week that genuinely made me
21:07
laugh. And it has to.
21:09
Do with, of course, none other than Lane Kiffin.
21:14
Did you see what he said this week to Vanity Fair?
21:17
Man, this, it's got a lot of people talking.
21:21
Here I'll give you the quote. It's got a lot of people.
21:24
Talking when he was. Coaching in Oxford, Kiffin says
21:28
top recruits would tell him, hey, coach, we really like you,
21:31
but my grandparents aren't letting me move to Oxford, Ms.
21:35
That doesn't come up when you say Baton Rouge, LA.
21:38
Parents are sitting here this weekend saying the campus is
21:42
diversity feels so great. It feels like there's no
21:45
segregation. Then.
21:48
In his apology he goes, I really apologize if anybody at Ole Miss
21:55
or in Mississippi was offended by that.
21:58
In a four hour interview, I was asked a lot of questions and a
22:00
lot of things and Ole Miss has been wonderful to me and my
22:04
family. I was asked questions about the
22:07
differences in recruiting and I said the narrative that we
22:10
battled there from out of state, black parents, their
22:14
grandparents was not wanting their kids to move to
22:17
Mississippi. That's been a that's a narrative
22:20
that coaches have been fighting it forever.
22:22
It wasn't calculated by bringing it up.
22:24
And I love that for Wayne Kiffin.
22:26
I mean, he goes in there, he stands his ground.
22:31
He said what he said. He's not backtracking anything.
22:34
He said, I'm sorry if that offended you, but this is what I
22:36
went through and this is what all your coaches go through here
22:38
in Mississippi and. My thing is for a couple days,
22:45
it's like nothing that he says like it will just whatever
22:51
change, you know, their fan base is just not going to be good
22:54
enough at this point. Similar for Will Wade, but I
22:57
mean, just like it's just nothing he can do at this point
23:02
and just got spurned. But I think like, you know, with
23:04
this this region's history of, you know, segregate, I mean,
23:07
like you can really get that anywhere, to be honest.
23:09
I mean, I'm sure like somebody's going to have they have stories,
23:12
somebody not going to like some. And I mean, that's that.
23:14
Unfortunately that was their experience.
23:16
But he's just become like what they, his players have told him.
23:20
So like, if he if if that upsets you, like talk to the players in
23:24
their family and you shouldn't even be upset about that anyway,
23:27
because that's not even clear. Actually, that's not really
23:30
their issue to begin with. But I mean.
23:33
That can happen anyway. It's the South.
23:34
That could be happen. That could happen anywhere,
23:35
obviously, let's be honest. Here.
23:37
OK, Yeah. If you.
23:39
Were, let's say from New York or from one of the northern states,
23:43
let's say anywhere other than Mississippi or Louisiana.
23:47
And you read that and read what he said and you looked at
23:52
Mississippi, would your first reaction not be well, attracts?
23:57
I mean, listen. But like you said.
23:58
It's the South. Any that could happen
24:01
everywhere, yeah. I don't like, you know, like I
24:04
mean, because like I was curious, like what would like
24:06
provoke him to because I wasn't there, obviously, what is what
24:09
made him bring it up. My thing is like The thing is
24:12
just you could fill in the bike with the school.
24:15
It's not to me, it's not not going Oxford.
24:17
I mean, it's just this it you can fill in with Lexington,
24:20
Baton Rouge, Tuscaloosa, Auburn, Gainesville, Nashville, like it
24:26
did like it's the South, like that's their history.
24:28
I mean, it's bad history, don't get me wrong, but just yeah,
24:32
it's. Just I.
24:33
Don't think it's like isolated to them.
24:35
Well, that's. Why all these kids come up to me
24:38
and they start complaining about their history classes and stuff
24:42
and why we need history. Yeah, you need history because
24:47
you need to. My favorite example for one of
24:50
them is you, a little kid, and you go put your hand on the hot
24:54
stove. Yeah.
24:55
You burn. Yourself, you learn not to touch
24:58
the hot stove. Same thing with history.
24:59
That's why we have history classes, so you can learn what
25:02
those morons did back in the day and how we have it.
25:05
We learned not to do it. Yes, you know that's your
25:10
history that just it happened. That doesn't mean you have to
25:14
act like they did back there back in the day, but that's
25:18
history. I just.
25:20
For Lane Kiffin to go. Out there and say that.
25:23
I'm like dog and it's like this field to the flag, but like he
25:27
could have. Gone and said anything but he
25:29
specifically specifically played the race card.
25:34
Like bro you. In the South, but in the South,
25:37
bro, you bro, it's any sick that you could have that stop that
25:41
somebody got that same testimony about the LG Tigers.
25:44
It doesn't matter that it's not isolated.
25:47
It's not isolated to Oxford that isolate to Mississippi as this.
25:51
This is one place in a Big South southern region then for you to
25:55
go. In your apology and double down
25:59
on what you said by the. Way I saw a.
26:04
Picture of him today Like somebody one of those AI
26:07
pictures on Instagram. And it was Lane.
26:10
Kiffin in a You know the Pope box.
26:15
Lane Kiffin in the bulletproof box on the sideline with a
26:19
bulletproof vest, coaching at Oxford.
26:22
Somebody said, yeah, they're stoning.
26:23
So, like, you're going to need a lot of security for that game,
26:26
yeah. I don't think after next year, I
26:29
don't think we could play that game again.
26:31
Oh really? They don't think.
26:34
Well. Now the Blaine Kiffin keeps
26:35
calling him racist and doing all of that.
26:38
That's that's that's that's I'm not I'm not sure why he was what
26:42
for bulletin to say that I just The thing is like I'm not we're
26:45
not discrediting what the players and their families
26:49
think. I mean, because of course not
26:50
one. Well, everybody's not like that
26:52
for one. But I mean, they hit, that's
26:54
what they've heard and stuff. But it's it's not the one place
26:58
you can fill in the bug with everybody.
26:59
It doesn't matter. Like it's the South, Yeah.
27:03
Like you said, we're not discrediting what those families
27:06
and stuff going through. We're just making comments about
27:10
what possessed him to bring that up.
27:13
Yes, like and he didn't. Bring it up like in the in.
27:17
So you've been in the Coast since the end of November, So
27:19
six months ago, Yeah. It was like he couldn't have
27:26
said anything. He could have said hey coach to
27:28
food in Oxford, it's terrible and my grandparents won't let me
27:31
go there, something like that, but he went there.
27:37
But. And other Lane Kiffin LSU
27:40
football news. They're putting together a wall
27:44
for an offensive line. I'd hope so.
27:47
That's that's, that's, you know, they struggled mildly last year,
27:50
but the office was such a tough watch last year.
27:54
I'm like part of that. Problem I think a lot has to do
27:57
with we've got a actual offensive line coach this year I
28:00
just. I think a.
28:02
Lot of those guys on that offensive side, the coaching
28:05
staff last year, and we're phoning it in most of the year,
28:09
you know? Yeah, but shout out to softball
28:13
team hosting the regional this weekend.
28:15
Yes, good for them. I think it's funny, if you look
28:19
at it with a 16 seed and Alabama's the one seed and
28:22
Southeastern other. I think another Louisiana team
28:25
is going to Tuscaloosa and we've got South Alabama over here, you
28:32
know, man. That's on Friday.
28:35
Yeah, Akron, on. Friday.
28:36
Yep, because we're not. Yep, and then Louisiana's got
28:42
high school state championship baseball going on.
28:45
And shout out to our alma mater for.
28:48
The state. Finals to play to the brother
28:52
Martin and then shout out to the coach Shake in the Dutchtown
28:56
Griffins for taking care of business against not only Barb
29:00
but Zachary. Come on man.
29:02
This they beat. Zachary in the semi finals 29
29:05
and it's because Zachary's pitching completely fell apart.
29:08
They ran out of pitching. But also, I don't think those
29:10
boys from Dutchtown were wanting to just die out and lose, you
29:15
know? Yeah.
29:18
I mean, just like you said, you know, I'm looking, you know,
29:21
just another dominant run for us.
29:23
I'm looking at the at our page now from the season and we was
29:26
on a like a he was on a tear in March and April.
29:30
Good gosh. Yeah.
29:31
But those games? Start up tomorrow night.
29:36
Yeah, yeah, I remember like before we had got the cap before
29:41
we got there, it was we only had two state titles in baseballs
29:46
for 19531976. Well, they won in our sophomore
29:49
year in 20. 10 and then. Like they won again when we was
29:53
freshman in College in 2013. So they won like, you know,
29:58
we've won three, the three, the state championship three times
30:01
the last five years 222425 yeah. So we won the national title in
30:06
24 for the select. I mean, like they've they've
30:09
done an incredible job. Yeah.
30:12
And. But man, going back to LSU, the
30:16
future is bright. Yeah, I'm.
30:17
Not yeah, I'm definitely not worried about it.
30:18
No, but so we are officially a month away from it being a year.
30:26
Found it down brother. Yes, since we started.
30:29
On this journey and I would like to shoot for 100 subscribers by
30:34
the time we get to the year mark.
30:35
Well, we are not. Like we are at. 40 that's.
30:39
What I thought, yeah. 40 on YouTube and 14 or 20?
30:45
No, sorry. 20 on Spotify. Good, but we started.
30:52
This podcast on June 9th. Man, I can't.
30:55
Remember, like it was yesterday he was talking about the Skid
30:57
Bourbon book. Yeah.
31:00
That's. How I know get Bertman?
31:01
Book and then national championship.
31:04
That's right. Right before that, Yep, he was
31:06
talking about the playoffs and stuff, yeah.
31:09
Well, well, I mean the. Reason that it was in a
31:10
tournament deep in term already, but.
31:15
And what a year difference, what a difference a year can make if
31:18
you look at it. Because last year we weren't in
31:21
at this point, we weren't worried, you know?
31:23
Yeah. We weren't.
31:24
Worried about this, Seems not going to make it to Omaha.
31:28
And it's like, you know. It's it goes in, you know,
31:30
you're going to have the ebbs and flows.
31:31
How you say you know that and they still got they still got
31:34
some opportunity left. It's just looking pretty bleak.
31:39
You know, I just whether you whether to me, whether you sleep
31:42
sweep for it or not or or get swept.
31:45
I mean you still going to need a tournament championship to even
31:48
make the turn. That's just where I'm at.
31:50
I mean, like, I'll be shell shocked if neither one of those
31:54
things happen and they still make the tournament.
31:56
I think that I'd be shell shocked, Yeah, but back.
32:03
