• 1:28
  Speaker 6: Not all the laws are in play before 7, right?
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: No, because I didn't see any police out, so I
• 1:33
  Speaker 7: don't think it counts.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Depends on how late you are.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Like, if they're not out, I don't think you're good.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Just put your flashers on and do it.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Nope.
• 1:40
  Speaker 7: That, nope.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Draw the attention to yourself?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: God, you're a noob.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: You don't know how to break the law.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: What a loser.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Now people will see and be like, oh, that guy
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: must be an emergency.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: This guy doesn't know how to drive. We're going to
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: let him go.
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: What if this is just like Lane and Greg doing
• 2:00
  Speaker 7: like a publicity stunt?
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: You know, Lane loves the publicity.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Trying to get the eyes.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Viewerships.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I'm just trying to make it to where Greg Sankey
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: doesn't look like a little bee.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: It's going to be hard.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: If they take it to a vote, it takes 11.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: 11 out of the 16. I wonder what Ole Miss
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: will vote.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: To happen.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're not the only ones.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: But yeah.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure most of the schools probably want
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: LSU out the SEC.
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: Like, what does it benefit every other school to have
• 2:36
  Speaker 7: LSU in the SEC?
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: I know we weren't going to talk about it, but
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: if they kick them out, it just basically tells everybody,
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: don't get too good.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: I get it. We've only won one game. I got it.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: I feel like there's some fear out there.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Is it don't get too good or don't challenge authority?
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Don't challenge authority. Even though at the end of the day,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: you didn't do it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: And then now they're trying to use, yeah, but you
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: talked to those guys and you kind of told them, hey,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: if it doesn't work out here, you should challenge the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: rule so you can come play here.
• 3:15
  Speaker 8: And before you say anything, call Greg, make sure it
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: doesn't upset him.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Not to mention it wasn't LSU. In the lawsuit, right?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: To my original players, yeah.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Players.
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: And it wasn't, the SEC wasn't named at first anyway.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: They were only in this thing for like a week.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: What's the better nickname for the commissioner? Greg Wanky or
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Greg Spank Me?
• 3:44
  Speaker 8: Ooh.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Greg Spanky.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Like Wanky's good.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Wanky's pretty good. Stanky. Stanky. Trump called him Sensitive Stanky.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: He did. Said he was butthurt.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Said he was butthurt.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I got a 10.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Woo!
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Do y'all think the other coaches support Stanky's vendetta? They
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: all bend the rules.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I got a hard time, like, if I'm trying
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: to just be realist.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: You think Kirby is going to be like.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: I got a hard time believing anybody's going to vote
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: for LSU to get kicked out. Like, that's a bad
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: precedent to set. And what grounds would anybody have to
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: vote LSU out? Because they didn't do it. Now, if
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: they would have rostered them, maybe you get a couple.
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: But they didn't roster.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: If they would have rostered them, then yeah, you would have.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I believe in my heart. Now, this is not on
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: my brain.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: In my heart that other teams would not vote out
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: LSU because they are going to lean on, you know,
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: let's just follow the commissioner and do what he wants.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: But LSU is getting pretty good. It doesn't help us.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: To have LSU here.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: But LSU, like, had a run where they were good. So,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's, like, a good thing. Like, oh,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: LSU's too good. Let's get them out of here. I
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: think it's just.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: I don't think anyone's going to vote.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: They hate Lane Kiffin.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think that. Like, that's not even coming into. Like,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: if you're the SEC, you're the other members of the SEC. Like,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the SEC is what it is because the sum of
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: all of its parts.
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Because you have these massive brands. You have Texas.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: You have Georgia.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: You have Alabama. You have LSU. You have. you know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: whoever you want to put into that category, right? You
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: have all of these massive brands and they're put together.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: We like to say an amalgamation of parts put together.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: And that's what makes the SEC the SEC, right? And
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: LSU is a charter member of that conference since 1932, right?
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: So the history there and all the things. So I
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: don't think it's going to get to that point. And
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: if it does over what we're talking about, then we'll
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: continue to say that's utterly ridiculous. from what actually happened
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: to what you're trying to get done.
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: Well, and also, like, everyone wants to talk about, oh,
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: this is unprecedented. Like, it's hard to kick a member
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: out and this, this, and this.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Once you kick somebody out once, it becomes easier to
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: do it again.
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: So I don't know if these presidents want to throw
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: that out there and set this type of precedent.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: I think it's really small-minded because there are a lot
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: of people saying, like, man, they're going to kick him
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: out because it's one less strong opponent or it lessens,
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: it weakens an opponent. I think people are looking for
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: a competitive advantage that way.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: I don't think that's the way.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: That's why, like, if that's the reason, I got a
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: hard time believing they're going to get one yes vote.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Like, yes to expel them?
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: Like, no one's doing that to kick an opponent out, because...
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: That weakens an opponent? That's ridiculous to think. The SEC
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: is going to lose money on this. Some people yesterday say,
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: you think LSU's brand is bigger than it is. My
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: question is, who are you going to add that is
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: equal or better value-wise to college football than LSU if
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: you kick them out?
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Who are you adding?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: There were so many people that thought they had the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: smartest ideas yesterday on that. I'm talking about national people
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that I kind of respect. and they were throwing names
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: out there. Well, you could replace them with them. If
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you think that team and whoever, Florida State, Clemson, whoever
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: that is, is the same brand.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Florida State can't even pay Norvell's buyout.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Or the light bill.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Or the light bill. You think they got the money?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: No, that's why Jimbo left there, because they didn't have
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the money. That's why he went to Texas A & M.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I saw North Carolina thrown out there. Basketball, great. Outside
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: of that, they're not making the kind of money you are.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: For real, though. Honestly.
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: People are saying in the chat, Ole Miss is going
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: to vote to kick him out.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Okay. Okay.
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: Take the pettiness aside. Like, are you going to vote
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: completely on pettiness? Money talks at some point. LSU makes
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: SEC more valuable, which makes the TV contracts more valuable,
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: which means everybody gets paid more money, right? If you
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: look at the football people and decision makers, probably at
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: every single school, nobody dislikes or hates Lane Kiffin. It's
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: the people on the outside. It's the boosters. It's the
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: people that give money. It's the people, it's the fan bases.
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: They hate, right? They love to hate. That's the beauty
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: of sports. That's why we love sports because it's easy
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: to love. It's easy to hate. It's easy to argue.
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: That's what's a, it stirs up passion in everybody, but
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: the actual like football people, again, Lane Kiffin is on
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: a group text with every head coach of the sec
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: and they're texting right now saying, did you see that?
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Did you see that?
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Like nobody I've been to spring meetings and spring meetings
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: down in Dustin is like the best access that you
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: possibly can have. And I have been in that room
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: when lane was the old miss coach LSU does not matter. And,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: You'll see him with Kirby when Coach Saban was still coaching.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: You'll see the athletic directors. They're all at a table together.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: They're all together laughing it up.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Him and Dabo look like they were like old war buddies.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Best of buds.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Before the game.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Before the game.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Dabo did mention that they could go 11-1 yesterday. He
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: did say that. He said, judge me after the season,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: not when we lost one game.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Don't ask me super– Basic and relevant questions.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the coaches all love him, but it's not the
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: coaches voting.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's the football. I mean, are the presidents
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: going to be that butthurt?
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: It's going to affect their university eventually.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: It would be a virus if LSU got kicked out
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: because it would spread.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: If that did happen, where are you trying to go?
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Fun belt on a Wednesday night?
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Let's go run the Pac-12.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Let's go.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Big 12. Big 12, you'd make playoff every year.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: ACC too? ACC.
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: I like the fun belt though. Wednesday night. Taylor gave
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: me just a nightmare scenario. What if scenario.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: What?
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: When?
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, during break.
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: What if LSU decides to go independent and Notre Dame
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: takes their place in the SEC?
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: What's Matt going to do?
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: I'm going to probably just start a farming community.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Live off the land.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Live off the land forever.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Amish, no TV.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to hear from him.
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: Mm-mm.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: We'll take a break. And when we come back, our guy, Dr.

• 12:01
  Speaker 3: I woke up this morning.
• 12:18
  Speaker 9: All right, welcome back in.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: OTB here live from the Raising Cane's studio. Now joined
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: by our guy, Dr. Steven Etheridge. Doc, future sex love
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: sounds is 20 years old yesterday. It's pretty crazy to
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: think about.
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: 20.
• 12:51
  Speaker 9: They're definitely, you know, growing up when I did, you know,
• 12:57
  Speaker 9: that was when the NSYNC had kind of gotten big. And,
• 12:59
  Speaker 9: you know, I loved to make fun of JT back
• 13:01
  Speaker 9: then with the kind of crazy curly hair that he had.
• 13:05
  Speaker 9: And it was hard to kind of embrace that, you know,
• 13:06
  Speaker 9: he's actually, you know, a pretty cool dude. You know,
• 13:09
  Speaker 9: as a guy, you know, because. I was trying to
• 13:11
  Speaker 9: be macho back in the day. You look at this
• 13:12
  Speaker 9: little skinny guy with Jerry curl hair, and you're making
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: fun of him and saying, gosh, this guy, why do
• 13:16
  Speaker 9: girls like him?
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: And then you kind of say, okay, he's got some
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: pretty good swag.
• 13:21
  Speaker 9: He's not so bad. Once he went on SNL a
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: couple times, made some funny jokes. I was like, okay,
• 13:25
  Speaker 9: this guy's okay.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: There was a song about something in a box. Yeah,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the box. I think that was a turning point.
• 13:30
  Speaker 9: I was like, okay, I can get behind this dude
• 13:32
  Speaker 9: at this point.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I think you're right. Last Saturday was fun as we
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: finally get away from LSU versus the SEC here for
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Um, probably pretty cool to be down
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: there on the sidelines for that one.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: It was great. It was great.
• 13:44
  Speaker 9: I mean, I will say, I don't know that I've
• 13:46
  Speaker 9: ever been on a sideline that was as energized at times,
• 13:50
  Speaker 9: borderline chaotic pregame, especially the pregame was, was, it was awesome,
• 13:54
  Speaker 9: but it was crazy. And, and, and in mind, that
• 13:56
  Speaker 9: was after, you know, that two hour delay, I was thinking, okay,
• 13:58
  Speaker 9: some of these people are going to go home, especially
• 14:00
  Speaker 9: some of these, you know, you know, big, big time,
• 14:02
  Speaker 9: famous people that we had everywhere.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: They're not going to sit around for two hours. They,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: they did. It was, it was everybody nuts. Everybody did. I, I, Typically,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I like to go down there because I like to
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: talk to the assistant coaches and like to if I
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: know somebody on the other team, just to kind of
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: get a feel for it before we call the game,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: you know, see if I can get something for the broadcast.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: And I went down there because I wanted to see
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Rich Passaccia, who was a special teams coordinator for us
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: in San Diego. He's now that for Clemson. So I
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: went down there and I was like, I'm going to
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: get in and I'm going to get out. because if
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I get down there, it's going to be hard to
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: get back up to the booth. And it was chaotic.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: And I'm talking about like, as soon as that 90
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: minute clocks actually started, it became chaotic. It was crazy.
• 14:43
  Speaker 9: We, we always go, we do what's called a medical
• 14:44
  Speaker 9: timeout before every game where we meet with the other teams,
• 14:47
  Speaker 9: medical staff. And we talk about, you know, this is
• 14:49
  Speaker 9: how we're going to handle these emergencies. You know, this
• 14:51
  Speaker 9: is where our EMS is set up. This is where
• 14:53
  Speaker 9: we have x-rays. This is just kind of going through,
• 14:55
  Speaker 9: this is where everything is. And this is what we're
• 14:57
  Speaker 9: going to do if something happens. And we, we typically
• 14:59
  Speaker 9: go to their locker room for it. So, We have
• 15:01
  Speaker 9: to rush out there. We usually do it somewhere around 30,
• 15:04
  Speaker 9: 45 minutes. And trying to get through the crowd to
• 15:06
  Speaker 9: get to their locker room and then getting back, I mean,
• 15:08
  Speaker 9: it was crazy.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Again, I've never seen anything like it.
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: It didn't affect you in how you do your job,
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: did it?
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: It did not.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Okay, good. Because it was pretty wild out there. And
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: I wasn't there. I was watching. But, my God, it
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: was pretty incredible scenes.
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: I can't remember. Do you all come down with the
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: team or are you already there?
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Off the buses.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: For the buses, no. We're already there. So we get there.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: That way we have everything set up.
• 15:34
  Speaker 9: Because, you know, guys sometimes need something right when they
• 15:36
  Speaker 9: get in, treatments and things like that. So we usually
• 15:39
  Speaker 9: have one or two of our trainers that come with
• 15:41
  Speaker 9: them that are on the team bus, but we're already there.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: Well, how did the game go from a, I guess a...
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: just an overall injury standpoint, it looks like LSU is
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: pretty much the hammer, not the nail. So we probably
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: should be more worried about the guys on the other sideline,
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: but everything pretty, pretty standard.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, it was a pretty clean game.
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: You know, there, there, there was not a lot of
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: stoppage for, for our guys, which is what we hope for.
• 16:00
  Speaker 9: You know, I tell people all the time, I'd love
• 16:02
  Speaker 9: to be bored. You know, I love sitting there having
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: nothing to do during a game. You know, there were
• 16:06
  Speaker 9: a couple of injuries on the other side and I,
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: you know, wish those guys the best, you know, we
• 16:10
  Speaker 9: never want to see it for either side. You know, that's, that's,
• 16:12
  Speaker 9: it's never something anybody wants. And, Fortunately, this one, we
• 16:15
  Speaker 9: came out of it pretty clean. There's always little things, but.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Oh, I do have a question for you.
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: There is a, is there anything that, um, what would
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: you prescribe for somebody like in a power position, get
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: his feelings hurt?
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: That's a big injury. It's on some of your feelings.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:31
  Speaker 9: Apparently feelings have become a big topic. There's gotta be
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: something we can do. And I, you know, I, I
• 16:39
  Speaker 9: don't know. I, I've, I've, kind of racked my brain.
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: On yeah all the advances in modern medicine we can't
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: still can't fix hurt feelings.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Hurt feelings are people lash out like yes.
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: Like children children when they get their feelings hurt my
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: god they just try to say anything to hurt people's.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Feelings there's a lot of going around so i've told
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: people this and then maybe they don't believe it from
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: me but when i've been around this team with all
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: the stuff things if you were going on around them
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of people ask, are they distracted? Are they
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: thinking about those things? I said when I spoke with
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: the team, no, not at all. I mean, they were
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: focused on that day. They were focused on that practice.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: It didn't look like a team that had any distractions.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: You are literally on the sideline for the game, and
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: that looked like a team that didn't have any cares
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: in the world outside of beating the hell out of Clemson.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Is that the same feel that you get being around them?
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: Yeah, 100%. I think it's funny. I have you know,
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: I have my different, we all have our little group
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: chats on our phone. I have some with some of
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: my friends from, you know, my background being a Florida
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: State guy, history not being from here. So a lot
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: of guys around the country that I've known is in
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: med school and other people. So people that are of
• 17:45
  Speaker 9: different fan bases and they're all, you know, kind of like, gosh,
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: this has got to be, I was like, y'all, the
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: more the better. Honestly, from a football standpoint, I mean,
• 17:52
  Speaker 9: am I tired of hearing about all the nonsense, the
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: outside stuff?
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: I am, yes.
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: This is galvanizing. It is something that I truly think
• 17:59
  Speaker 9: this team Not only do they not pay attention to
• 18:01
  Speaker 9: the noise, but I think it's more that they grow
• 18:03
  Speaker 9: strength from the doubters. One of the things that made
• 18:07
  Speaker 9: Jordan great is he would always find something.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: He would find that something to give him the edge.
• 18:11
  Speaker 9: He would say, that guy, he talked that one time,
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: he made that one comment 18 years ago, I remember that,
• 18:16
  Speaker 9: and he's going to hold on to that. And the
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: greats do that, and I think great teams do that.
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: I think right now they're taking all this, and thus
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: far I don't feel like it's been a distraction for
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: the players.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe everybody else, but they're doing just fine.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: Doc, what I saw Saturday night was a testament to
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: training camp. Now, we've talked so much about on this show,
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: training camp. We've asked you about past training camps before
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: this one, specifically the last couple of years. Well, I
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: could tell from pad level, from contact, how they played
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: in the trenches, just the conditioning about how well training
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: camp went. Now, that has a lot to do with,
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: you know, of course, the coaches, starts with the coaches,
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: starts with Lane and his staff and the, But it's
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: also about the players. And it's also about being pretty
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: fortunate when it comes to injuries as well to make
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: sure everybody is out there. Man, it looked like LSU
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: was 100%, which is not always the case when you
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: go into week one because of training camp. But, man,
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: they looked in shape. And I know you had talked
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: about how good training camp was, how fast it was,
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: how impressed you were throughout this entire process. But, man,
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: did it shock you to see at all how LSU
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: came out and performed?
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: I wouldn't say shocked, but I think it definitely is
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: a testament to what these guys have been doing. Because
• 19:29
  Speaker 9: your point, the players got to do it first.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: They got to buy in.
• 19:31
  Speaker 9: Now, it starts at the top with Coach Kiffin, the
• 19:33
  Speaker 9: way he runs his practices, the way that we do everything.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: There's a purpose.
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: There's a high tempo with Coach Savage and the strength
• 19:39
  Speaker 9: and conditioning guys.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Obviously, they've done a great job.
• 19:42
  Speaker 9: So my hat's off to all of them. But the
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: players got to take the credit, too. They have to
• 19:46
  Speaker 9: buy into it. You can give the message over and
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: over and over, and you can tell guys, to do
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: this and you can even force them to to do
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: the workouts but at the end of the day they
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: have to buy in it's a lot of a mindset
• 19:55
  Speaker 9: and they've got it you know and i know i
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: know on the other sideline just from talking to people
• 19:59
  Speaker 9: that i know that were on the other side kind
• 20:01
  Speaker 9: of watching them i mean they were gassed they were
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: sucking eggs and i i never saw that from our
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: guys i mean they looked You know, a couple guys tired,
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: a couple guys maybe, you know, towards the end of
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: the game maybe cramping up a little bit here and there,
• 20:12
  Speaker 9: things you're going to see early in the season. But
• 20:14
  Speaker 9: it's a testament to the conditioning and to hydration, of course.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Of course. You said the word cramping.
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: No.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: It doesn't happen at LSU. No rain and no cramping.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: No, just different.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: That's actually my next question. Good segue there. I was
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: going to ask, what do you do in a delay
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: that's that long? for like for, for y'all, for your standpoint,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: like you want to make sure the hydrator, you want
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: to make sure that they don't tighten up after stretching
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and all those different things. So like for y'all, what
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: was that two hours like? Yeah, it's, it's hard. Cause
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: there are certain things you even want to do.
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: Like even something as simple as getting a guy taped
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: or some of the guys that maybe we're going to
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: give them some extra fluids and things like that. You
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: kind of have a clock in your head of when
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: you want to do these things, you don't write. And
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: then all of a sudden it gets messed up, you know,
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: it gets, it gets changed, it gets altered and you
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: don't know for how long, you know, it's the most
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: frustrating thing. Cause you know, so I think, I think
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: the biggest thing is, is, you get the guys off
• 21:05
  Speaker 9: their feet. You don't want them, you don't want that
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: adrenaline getting too high. You don't want them to kind of,
• 21:10
  Speaker 9: you know, kind of get all that energy out and then,
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: then they're kind of fatigued. So you want to get
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: them off their feet. You want to make sure they're
• 21:14
  Speaker 9: hydrated and eating well, you know, and trying to kind
• 21:16
  Speaker 9: of slow the process down, you know, and, and for
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: those that, I mean, the, these lightning delays, every time
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: you have a lightning strike within eight miles, it resets
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: this 30 minute clock.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: And most of the time you talk about a lot
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: in baseball.
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: Some, I mean, I felt like I was at a,
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: a regional baseball tournament.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. That's, that's what it felt like.
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: And because that happens all the time in the spring,
• 21:35
  Speaker 9: especially when we're hosting these regionals, the super regionals, it
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: is the most frustrating thing. Because every time you see
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: that clock go back to 30 minutes, it's like, oh,
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: no lightning.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: And then it'll get down and hit it again. So
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: it's frustrating. You don't really know.
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: Doc, I've never really been over there, but how bad?
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: I'm sure you have, maybe because you know people over there.
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: You had to go over there for some sort of something.
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: How bad is the visitor locker room? It's pretty bad.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: You never been in there?
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, I've never been over there.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Oh man. It's special. It is bad. We did a
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: high school deal. Like when I was at Evangel, we like,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: we practiced here like a walkthrough in tiger stadium and
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: that's where we dressed and it looks the exact same.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: And I hadn't been in high school in a long time.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: It's, it's, but I will say this, that is not
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: anything that's unique.
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: At all across the sec everywhere. And I don't, I
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: don't think we have a good visitors locker room, you
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: know what I mean? So there's some that are better
• 22:25
  Speaker 9: than others. Um, I can't think of one that's great.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Matt, do you remember war Memorial?
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: That was pretty bad.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: That was rough. That was, that was like, they had
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: to go to Walmart and buy tarps to try to
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: separate like the training room from the locker room from the,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: it was like blue tarps and they put them on
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: shower curtains. There's again, it's just, that's just a thing,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: you know, you're not gonna, you're not gonna make it nice.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: You're gonna make it acceptable. That's basically, you don't want
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: to make it comfortable. You don't want to be comfortable.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: And again, that's just, that's gamesmanship. It happens everywhere. And again, that's,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Because people don't complain about our locker room. Yeah, it
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: is bad.
• 22:59
  Speaker 9: But, like, I've been in every SEC locker room now.
• 23:02
  Speaker 9: None of them, none of the visiting locker rooms are nice.
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I was trying to think of, like, one that's maybe
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: nicer than the others. And the fact that it's taking
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: that long. I mean, I didn't say anything. There are
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: some that are better.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: I don't remember. Honestly, I don't remember any.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: The old home one, I think, right?
• 23:15
  Speaker 9: The Mississippi State one, I was going to say, especially
• 23:17
  Speaker 9: from a locker room, is probably one of the better ones. Now,
• 23:20
  Speaker 9: we don't have much space in that one. So, I
• 23:21
  Speaker 9: always look at it from both the training room and
• 23:23
  Speaker 9: the locker room. The locker room there is pretty good.
• 23:25
  Speaker 9: The training room there is pretty small.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss is bad. Ole Miss is bad. Georgia's bad.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Georgia's bad. Alabama. I mean, none of them. I mean,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I can't think of a single one.
• 23:34
  Speaker 9: Texas turns the air off. I will say this, actually. Vanderbilt,
• 23:39
  Speaker 9: they also changed theirs when they kind of did their
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: stadium renovations.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's right, yeah.
• 23:41
  Speaker 9: Remember how bad that one used to be? The old
• 23:44
  Speaker 9: one was bad. I will say the new one, I'll
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: give them some credit. It's probably, maybe it's the nicest
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: one now for us. It was actually pretty good, but
• 23:51
  Speaker 9: we only did that one once.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We played this past year. Oklahoma's decent-ish, but.
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: I honestly, I don't remember any visitor locker room. I
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: just don't have a memory of it.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: The, I just, I know more to your point. I
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: know more from covering the team and actually playing. I
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: remember going to games and being folk like, no, none
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: of them are good. And if you showed me a
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: picture of it, I'd be like, oh yeah, I remember.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: I remember Bama's because I remember having a, I very
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: vividly remember having a distinct conversation with Bo Pelini in
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: the locker room after the game.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: We'd be after we'd be.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: Bama and oh seven.
• 24:25
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Um but other than that i don't like remember like.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: How they look i remember nfl ones i think a
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: little bit more i had my wedding ring stolen out
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: of my locker when we were at candlestick playing the
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: 49ers i was like is this the pros what are
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: we doing here that's kind of crazy who was who
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: came in here and took wedding rings what are we
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: doing which is not worth that much really not i
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: mean yeah worth that effort yeah it's a lot of
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: metal because it's On this hand, but.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: It is. It's not going to fit anybody. Nobody.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: It's a necklace for most people.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Needed an anklet.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Not for you. Because they're so strong.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: I know, dude. That's not good.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: All right, Doc. We appreciate you, as always. We certainly
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: appreciate you fighting the traffic. And I'm glad there's not
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: a whole lot to talk about from an injury standpoint.
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Again, hammer, not the nail. And I got a
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: feeling Elsie's going to be hammering a lot.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: Like I've said, the intensity has been great. The staff,
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: I've really been very impressed top to bottom. Everything has
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: a purpose. I know people outside are giving some of
• 25:31
  Speaker 9: them grief. I would say that's not the way it
• 25:33
  Speaker 9: is in the building, though. It's a great place to

• 25:46
  Speaker 1: when it comes to your money, you want a bank
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: that knows your community, knows your business, and knows you
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: by name. And that is First American Bank and Trust.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: They've been serving Louisiana since 1910 with personal banking, business banking, mortgages,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: commercial loans, and much more. They've grown with the times,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: but they've never lost that personal service that makes a
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: local bank different. So find a First American Bank and
• 26:09

  Speaker 7: Bye.
• 26:49
  Speaker 10: Bye.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: I'll let you with me if I misbehave.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: It's just that no one makes me feel this way.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Welcome back to Off the Bench. Wednesday's show is brought
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: to you by Poncho.
• 27:49
  Speaker 10: All right, welcome back in.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I cannot get Garrett Wobble out of my head now.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: I'm being sexy, babe.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: She said that.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: We appreciate Doc.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: I'm going to throw.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Some Justified in here. I'm going to throw some Justified
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: in here.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, you could go song for song every break
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: from this album of all time.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: This album came out when Nip Tuck was popping.
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: Bro.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Popping.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Popping. Even I remember a little Nip Tuck.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Are you kidding me?
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, it used to get announced at practice. Nip
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Tuck tonight.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: Nip Tuck tonight. Thursday nights.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: FX?
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: FX.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Is FX still a channel?
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: It doesn't pop like it used to.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: No shot.
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: I mean, You know how many people still do the cable?
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: I think you can get FX on Hulu.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: FX pushed the limits.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: That's where American Horror Story used to be on.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: Always Sunny.
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Always Sunny was on there.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: My name is Earl.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: The Bear. The Bear.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, is that?
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: I thought that was a Netflix thing.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: Okay, so FX is, okay.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: And The Bear is on FX.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: Basically, I think everyone just watches that on Hulu, though.
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Hulu has the FX.
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: The game within the game, you know? Am I right?
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: Like the SEC.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Just like it.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: Exactly. FX, Hulu, SEC, same thing.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: LSU.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: LSU.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying we're, you know, going to go undefeated
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: and win a national championship. Now, we certainly look like
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: a team that has that ability.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: We'd be pretty sick if we did that.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Imagine what it'd be like if we did.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Davos. of said that. We might be the best team
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: in the country.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: He did say that.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: He said, damn, they whooped my ass. He was like,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to lie.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: Best team I've ever seen. Fastest kid alive.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Everybody uh but i think everybody in here in this
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: room certainly a lot of people listening i know we
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: got some trolls from other schools in the chat and
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: that's fine we welcome you whatever.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Oh it's good it's fun we love you i like
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: it but i.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Will say there's some people i'm not saying everybody but
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: there's some people that in times like this like they
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: just don't like it like they don't like confrontation they
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: don't like that somebody's angry with them and they want
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: to make it better and then they over communicate and
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: they're trying to fix it well There's people like that
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: in this world, and I'm not saying there's anything wrong
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: with it, but there's people like that. LSU athletics is
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: not like that. LSU athletics thrives in confrontation. LSU athletics
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: is okay with you not liking them. They just, they are,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: they always have been, and I'm not saying like, oh,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: look at us, we're so cool. I'm not saying that.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: I'm just telling you that during conflict, LSU typically thrives.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: No matter what the conflict is, no matter what the
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: roadblock in front of them is. They've just always done
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: like that. LSU fans will band together and not care
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: that all other 15 fan bases hate them.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: They don't care about that. They just don't.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: So right now, that's what's about to happen. It's about
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: to be the LSU community against everybody else. And again,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying in absolutes, but most times during something
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: like this, when LSU fans have to come together.
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: That's when LSU is the most dangerous. And look, Doc
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: just kind of mentioned that a little bit. He used
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: the word galvanized.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: He said that is a galvanized locker room.
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: So all this other noise, everything that everybody's saying, it's
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: doing nothing but positive things for the actual team and
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: the people within that building. So I guess other teams, like,
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: be careful kind of like what you asked for because
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: this is a motivated team.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: They are coming together.
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: And they are, you heard Lane Kiffin say it in
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: his leaked halftime speech. The whole world hates you. So
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: this is your chance to go tell everybody to f themselves.
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: It's my favorite part. So I believe it's that mentality
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: that we are going to see.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: The rest of the way.
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: And if I hope this, this whole conversation keeps up,
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: I don't know what's going to happen. I doubt they
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: get one yes vote on Thursday, if it even goes
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: to a vote. I doubt they get one yes vote
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: to kick them out of the SEC or to expel them,
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: whatever they want to say. But I hope they get one.
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: And I hope it's from Ole Miss, because guess who
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: will play next week? And I hope it leaks that
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: they got one from Ole Miss. They should do a
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: live stream. So, Ole Miss, I would be careful, Mr. President,
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: at Ole Miss, of voting yes, because LSU goes to
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: Oxford next week. And by God, if you watched LSU
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: versus Clemson and then watched your team play Louisville, I
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: don't think I'd give them any extra motivation. Because they
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: ain't going to get kicked out. You're not getting 11 votes.
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: Sorry. I doubt you get one. But if we do
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: get one, I hope it's Ole Miss.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: And Ole Miss don't want to see the ACC.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: They don't want to see it.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Last year, you beat Louisiana Tech 23-7. It was ugly.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: It was clunky. It was a disgusting game. It was
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: sitting there. I'm like, thank God I'm getting paid to
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: watch this. It was bad. With all this going on
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: right now, with all the talk about LSU, with what
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: happened last week, with the messaging, I think, from the
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: coaching staff, you haven't done anything yet, right? Louisiana Tech's
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: beaten LSU before was a sign, whatever. Louisiana Tech scored
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: 80 points last week. I don't care who they were playing.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: They scored 80 points last week. So they're going to
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: be confident coming in here, certainly with the way the
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: game went last year and to what they just did
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: last week. But Louisiana Tech could catch this wrath. This
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't feel like a coaching staff that, and we've been
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: around coaching staffs like this before, that if once you're
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: playing a school like this and you kind of get
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: uncomfortable and it's like take the foot off the gas
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: and Just coast to victory. We'll worry about next week.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: This doesn't have that feel to it. Like, I can't
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: speak for Charlie Weiss Jr. We haven't seen him in this.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: I know Blake Baker. And it doesn't matter who's in there.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Blake's not going to just run, you know, cover two.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: He's not going to just run quarters and just play coverage. Yeah, just.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: He's not going to do that.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: It's like a preseason game. Let's play like that.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: It's not going to happen.
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: And.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Based off what I saw against Clemson, how no matter
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: who was in at quarterback, they played three different ones.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: They were in the offense. If I'm LSU, it doesn't
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: matter who's in there, I am putting my foot all
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: the way to the ground. For a lot of reasons,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: but you don't want, I think, to let up after
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: what you did last week. I think you want to
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: continue to do that. You want to continue that into
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss. And I think you also want to send
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: a message to the rest of the country of just
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: how focused you are because there's been a lot of
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: people saying you're not going to be focused that aren't
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: around the program.
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, I.
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: Think this whole thing is certainly motivating. And look, you
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: as a coach, you have to use the tools around
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: you to motivate your team every single week. whatever tools
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: around you, you like the coach Saban used to always
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: say like, man, I hope I always wished that the opponent,
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: somebody would say something from the other team leading up
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: to the game. I always like hope, like I hope
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: the coach said something that was a little off or
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: a player tweeted something because I'm going to use that
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: as motivation. It makes it easy for me to motivate. Now,
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: if they don't say anything, then it's hard, but well,
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: LSU has got all the motivation in the world. I mean,
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: this is, this is one of those deals where.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: I think it's already happening.
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: You can't shelter them from the outside noise because they
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: all got social media.
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: So they're just like they have the FU mentality.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Do you remember when we played? This is a long
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: time ago, Matt. We played at Florida in 2004. Do
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: you remember anything about Coach Saban's speech before that game?
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: Which game? 2004.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: We're at Florida. It's basically Joe Adai beats Florida. Joe
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Adai was a beast that game. You know, at the point,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: I think Florida was good. We were good. Whatever. Crowd
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: was great. But Coach Saban, we come back in after
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: we go out. You come back in, pregame speech, and
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: you go back out. And he's like, I am so
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: pissed off. You should be pissed off that they invited
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: you to play this game here today. They invited you
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: to this game because they think they can play with you.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: I can't believe they showed up. I'm pissed off that
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: they showed up.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, like, I was like.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Oh my God. Like what?
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: I feel disrespected. They came to play.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: That's what he said. He's like, I'm pissed off that
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: they showed up thinking they have a chance to play you.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: You should be mad that they opened the gate to
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: let you in this stadium. I'm like, he's creating this.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: And it's kind of working for me. What is he
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: talking about? They're like, okay. Were they not going to
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: show up ever? Is that an option?
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: I'll never forget. I mean, looking at him, he's like,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: you should be pissed off they opened the gate to
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: let you in this stadium. I'm like, hell yeah, coach.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: I didn't know that was an option, coach, but yeah.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: I can't believe they showed up.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: To your point, there was nothing there. And he was
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: trying to search and find it. And he found it
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: in the most basic way possible. They opened the gate
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: to let you in their stadium. You should be pissed off.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, hell yeah, you should be. I believed it.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: And I was a freshman. Maybe that was the reason.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But everybody else was fired up. And
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: we went and ran the football right down their throats
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: that game. I mean, I don't know that we threw
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: too many passes that game.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what. And the holder for LSU dominated
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: Florida's holder.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: That's what did it.
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: Beat his ass.
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: What about the second decoy signaler?
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: You might have moved to first by that point. I
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: might have moved to first decoy. I don't know if
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: I was decoying at that point. I can't remember. I
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: think I retired the decoy signals after the natty because
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: you can't go any higher.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, true.
• 38:20
  Speaker 7: What was your favorite signal to give? What was your
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: go-to move? Someone has to have a go-to.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: This one. 144 Ohio.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: If you were doing it today, you would definitely dabbo.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: I would dabbo.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to see what we were on field goals
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: for that game.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: I saw one.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: We were one for three.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Oof. Hey, hey.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: Can't kick it, too. I can't kick it, too.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: One by three points, too.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: I did my job.
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: I did my job.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: We were one for three. Check the PATs. Oh, my gosh.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: One by three points?
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: Who's kicking that day?
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Chris Jackson.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: Come on, Chris.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: One for three. He was a 47-yarder.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: Over there thinking about baseball.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Ryan Goday actually did the extra points, and then Chris
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Jackson did the field goals. And Chris Jackson punted that day, too.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: Was that before or after the Auburn game with Goday?
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Good question. After, because we were four and two.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: Nothing to do with on the field.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: I think it was really the one catch for 11
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: yards a fullback had that day. Oh, yeah.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: Not a huge deal.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: We call that a first down.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: Was that 246 at UConn?
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: No doubt it was. No doubt.
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: Every third and a half a yard. Pull back to
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: the flat.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: We ran for 210 that day. We carried the ball
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: 45 times.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: Is that a mouse in your pocket?
• 39:42
