• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Two to one over the Dominican Republic in an incredible,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: incredible drama field tense moments from like the third inning
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: on Paul Skins goes out there, does exactly what you
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: need him to do. And look, it wasn't worth striking
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: people out.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: It was just getting out.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: He has one mistake and look they made them pay.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: But still like every jam he gets in, he gets out.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Then you bring in the old submarine pitcher knuckles are
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: scraping the ground to get the double play ground ball,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I mean basically comes in. Was it like it was
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: two or three pitches, maybe three three pitches and there
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: was a runner? Was it a runner on second and third?
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I believe no, he induced the double play?
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: First maybe the first second I was. I was in
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: the kitchen like kind of cleaning up, put some dishes
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: away because we just got back and Hut screams at
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: me from the other room.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Say this what is this pitcher doing? Why is he
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: bending over like that? He had never seen it.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: He never seen that.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: No the time, no members had never seen it either,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: because the same situation's like, Dad, what's this guy's deal.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I was like, well, he's a submarine pitcher. He's like,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: what's that mean? And I was like, well, because he's like,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: you know, because like his delivery, it's like, that's what
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: they call it. And then we started talking about torpedoes.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: He's like, wait, I thought torpedo was a bat. I
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: was like, good memory, that was all the rage last year,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: torpedo bats. I was like, well, torpedoes like an underwater missile.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: And they got a whole conversation. But yeah, same thing.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: He's like, what's this guy doing? You know, got into
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: war talk sort of like the show very much.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: So also USA. Yeah, so it was fun. I explained
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: to him, like the you know, it's a change up.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: You just saw like the best picture in the world
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: come out throwing traditionally just throwing gas and movement, and
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden you got to get an out.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: You need one guy. You're throwing this crazy pitching fella
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: and it works and do some double play. I mean
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: the whole game though, I mean we talked about it
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: in the first segment. It was a movie script of
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: a baseball game, the World Baseball Championship or Classic whatever.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: It felt like a Game seven here in March, and
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: you have the best of the best. You you roll
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: out and had all the storylines leading up to the game,
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: of course, with the best picture in the world, playing
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: the hottest lineup and full of all stars and just
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: absolutely destroying people all the way up to that point.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: And Paul Skins didn't have his best outing in the world,
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: I think pitched foreign four and a third, but he
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: did what he had to do. Limited that limited that
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: line up to just one run. Made that one mistake
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: to Junior Camenaro.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: He hung it. He cranked it too, so a mistake
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: that you don't normally see Paul Skins made. But it's funny.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: As good as he released it, you could, like they
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: show the back angle of it. He could see as
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: soon as he released it he said something we can't
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: see here.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: He knew it, yep, But you got you know this guy,
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: Paul Skans that God just it's like the most likable
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: dude in the world.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: If you're from America because he's patriotic. He's really damn good.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: He's young and god.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: He just I don't know, he just the the emotions
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: coming from him, like this whole that's the most emotion
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: you'll see from Paul Skans and it's.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Not a lot.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: I don't even think I saw this much. When like
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: they won the College World Series.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: No, and and somebody.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: One of our other baseball coaches for ministers team made
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: a great point. He's like, and before the broadcast made
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: the point because they made it afterwards, he was like,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: this is by far the biggest moment Paul Skeins has
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: pitched it since the College World Series. Yeah, he's like,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: not even close. He's like, I was like, Dade, I
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: don't even think about that. Like there hasn't been like,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: you know, certainly not a postseason game, but there's not
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: been a game like for the Pirates that mattered at
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: all for him to pay so like it's been three
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: years since he's probably had those kind of not nerves
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: because I'm he's like a robot in the best way possible.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure he gets nervous, but juice is flowing.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: He han'd had that in three years and to be
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: able to stay composed right. And he didn't have a walk.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: I think he hit a batter, but he didn't have
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: a walk. That's very impressive to not overthrow. And Smoltz
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: was talking about on the broadcast. He goes there, one
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: of the best parts about this guy is he doesn't overthrow.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: He goes ninety nine, and those guys typically overthrow get
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: in trouble. He's like, no, he stays in the moment
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: the entire Smoltz, the guy calling the game, John Smoltz,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: was one of them.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, so I'm pretty much watching the game yesterday
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: and everything, you know, good, great vibes, skins, and then
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: all of nowhere, Smoltz comes on and saying basically said,
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: I hope he.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Never gets Tommy seans. Did you hear that? Yeah, He's like,
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: I hope he never gets injured. Defies the odds. And
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: I'm like, why did you even say that? Yeah he did.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: He's like, I hope he defides out. He's a guys
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: like him with how hard he throws. And but I
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: will say this, he doesn't look like he's like I
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: just about to say small boys. I know, I know,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: smallt He doesn't call a lot of Pirates games because
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: he's like he calls national games.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: And I'm not trying to try to say Pirates game.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Pirates are no national you know, they're not a national
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: televised team ever. But the things that make Paul Skeins
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: who he is is he doesn't overthrow, and his mechanics
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: are incredibly said, it's not herky jerky, it's not gimmicky
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: like everything. And then also the press work that he does,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: like you ask Jay and we can ask Jay on
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Thursday when he joins us, Like the things he does
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: is like to get ready for one start, like you
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: don't see anybody do and you certainly don't see one
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: of the best pitchers on the planet do it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: Well, it's what we talk about all the time when
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: it's like, oh, pitchcown, pitchcown, pitch cownt. It all leads
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: to this injury and that injury that sees it all
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: the time in football, though, like not every quarterback has
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: the same throwing motion, not every pitcher does. Like when
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: you watch Paul, he's got a thick lower body, like
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: he uses his whole body to throw, so it's not
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: that much stress on his arm.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it doesn't. I mean, he certainly whipped.
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: I was gonna say he's not, like he's pretty whippy,
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: but like he just has the most beautiful mechanics I've
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: ever seen in my life.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: You have to be whippy to throw it that hard. Yeah,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Like that's that's the only way.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but there's there's different versions of that too.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: He's all armed, That's what I'm saying, Like he uses
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: legs and the other the other benefit he has he
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: didn't pitch until how many years in his first year
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: in college, right full time, full time.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: He pitched full time until he got to Let shoot,
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: what I'm saying like, so he doesn't have I mean,
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't think that. I don't know the whole backstory,
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: but I don't think he has the wear and tear.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: I know you're saying travel ball pitching forever.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: So Skens goes four and a third, gives up six hits,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: one run, two strikeouts. But then Rogers comes in we
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: talked about it, gets a double play, and then Jacks
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: comes in. He has a clean inning, and then Bednar, Whitlock,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: and Miller each have two strikeouts in their innings and
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: gave up two hits but he shut him down and
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: he he like he became a bulldog there at the end.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Mason Miller's just Miller's awesome, Like like he kept throwing
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: a slider and I get it because he's got it.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: I was like, dude, you're one hundred and I was like,
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: I promise you even if they're sitting on it. I
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: was like, you can tell at this point in the
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: game they're not catching out to that dude, that last batter,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: he's just like one o two one, and then to
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: a slider is a little low, but you got the call.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: Who cares? Go Team America. That's the thing that I
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: wonder about, Like the whole system they have, what's the
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: what's the system they don't have in the World Baseball
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: class I know, but what is it? A A zone
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: you talking about?
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: Like, yeah, so they have to of course, got the
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: square the right tangle there it calls so that pitch
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: drops so hard, so fast, and got y'all get it.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: I'm a novice baseball guy. When it crossed the plate,
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: it was in the zone. Yeah, But of course when
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: it lands and it marks on the thing, it's it
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: looks I'll say I'll say this about that. Now, Will Smith,
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: the American catcher, got called on a bad pitch too.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: They call it was full count and they struck him
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: out as inches off the plate.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Okay, so that happens.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: I'll say this in that scenario, and of course like
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: you may, yeah, of course you're rooting for USA full
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: count that situation, the tying run ninety feet away. You
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: can't take that pitch, yeah you can. You can't leave
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: it up to the I can't. Like that's every level
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: of baseball, like nine and you baseball, like you'll teach
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: in that moment that pitch, that club got to fight
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: it off or something.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: You can't take it. You can't leave it up to
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: the umpire.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: So they don't have the on the world base they
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: don't have the challenge. I didn't think so the first
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: the first name for Venezuela, this helmet.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: They're like, no, no, we don't, we're not doing that actually,
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: but no, like Mason Miller is elite, Like with the Athletics,
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: he might have been like the best player on the
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: Athletics period.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: But that's why they shift him out.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the pirates. You know this, But like when a
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: player gets good, really good, we typically.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: Move him right, So Padre has got themselves a good one.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Though he was he was outstanding, like one or two
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: is fun to watch. But I think I think a
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: lot of people, a lot of baseball fans know.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Who he is.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Garrett Whitlock probably introduced himself to a lot of baseball
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: fans last night.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: He's a reliever from the Red Sox.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was filthy in the eighth inning, like it's
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: not one o two but it's ninety four, with some
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: crazy movement and he had like a whole arsenal ready
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: to go. Like I knew who he was a little
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: bit because I'm attle hand up here, and you know,
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: I watch a lot of baseball. I was like, yeah,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: good good picture for the Red Sox. I was not
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: familiar with his game.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, oh my god.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: When Smulty said when he came in before he threw
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: a pitch, Smoltsk goes, oh, this guy's nasty, And I'm like,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: all right, if he's saying that, I'm gonna lock it
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: on this guy, because like Smalt Sudden just like give
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: away those compliments like that.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Oh boy, was he right?
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: He's seen a smolt Slow's a thing or two about
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: good picture too.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a little incredible starter end closer in his
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: MLB career.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, you had this lineup for the Dominican Republic
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: that was absolutely load. It's just like Americans but.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: He I mean, but like there's just like ours is
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: really really really good, but there's just there's is like generational.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a generation.
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: And they were tas like what.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: What are we talking about? And they were also on fire.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah.
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: My dad sent me the lineup before and he's like,
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: that's a nasty lineup and I was like, and he's
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: going to strike out each and every single one of.
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: Them, like has thirty home runs last year, I think
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: faced the Monstars by itself and just dominated them.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: And then Machado Just think about just.
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: Think about all the arms and the different angles, speeds
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: and movement that that lineup had as good as they are. Yeah,
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: like America pitched their absolute face off and to hold
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: that lineup as hot as they were as big of
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: a like, you had multiple guys on the Dominican Republic
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: team saying I'd rather win this than win a World Series. Yeah,
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: Like so it meant it means a lot to every
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: single one that you can tell like to see big
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: leaguers the best in the world and running like sprinting
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: out of the batter's box, Like this just something you're
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: not going to get in March, April, May, June of
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: Major League Baseball like consistently, right, you get it from
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: the best players in the world. But everybody, like at
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: Game seven atmosphere, just absolutely awesome, especially for stitch ads
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: like me.
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: Right now, the World Baseball Classic is so fun and
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: it's just like this is why it needs to be
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: back in the Olympics. People take it to another level.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the World Baseball Classic is like a qualifier for
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: the Olympics. Yeah.
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: Well, it reminds me a lot of the Four Nation's
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: face off last year that we watch with the hockey teams.
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: It's like you don't expect like the best in the world,
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: you know, to like get get this fired up about it.
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: But like we talked about it, think about all the
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: fights between US and Canada. Think about this game schemes
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: versus this lineup, Like we need more of this in
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: every sport.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I say it all the time.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: It sucks because God Mighty Ducks maybe want to play
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: for Team USA in some way, some capacity. And we
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: played the one sport you go professional in that you
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: got no chance to play for your country unless it's flag.
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: But it's a different sport. I thought about fullbacks don't
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: really thrive in flag either. I thought about trying to
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: get get qualified for the US Olympic team. After our
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: coaches game this past fall, I got faith and did
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: you send in the tape?
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Me too? You gotta take the lens cap off. Yeah.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: I thought about, Like you know, I was riding that
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: high right after the game, but then I got that
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: soreness set in the next day.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what y'all know me. I don't give
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Matt many compliments because he doesn't deserve him. But he
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: was spinning it out there. I didn't know he still
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: had it. I didn't know he still had it left
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: in him. He's spinning it. We're spinning it.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: We spent it. There's a pitch count. He threw me.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: He threw me a touchdown the back of the end
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: ZONE'M like, hey, Bud, chill out.
• 15:46

  Speaker 4: Who's that basketball player this doing it h Rondo, Yeah yeah,
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: and again like can do.
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: It because they do a lot of the short passes
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: and he did that in basketball.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: He's kind of just flicking it. Should we get you
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: ready for the Olympics? We should? I know, Like isn't
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: like funny?

  Speaker 3: He's got a solid mustache in a solid arm, and
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: he's ready to work.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: And he loves America.
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: Like who's gonna Who's gonna Who's gonna fight Morner than Matt.
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: Matt's always locked into any sport where America's competing, no.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: Doubt, they don't absolutely locked in who's.
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: Gonna throw their body across the line, Like you know one.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: I'll take some Higherlinic acid for the team throw back

  Speaker 8: And the door off the bench with Jacob Hester and
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: mathline presented by by you Automotive.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Well maybe I'm just too sure, or maybe I'm just
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: too fright by the sound and pieces of no fall down.
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: But that is said.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: Good shout out to it better than us, col Hero.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: All right, before we get to the women's bracket, when
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: to talk about our friends over at Aushner. As we know,
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: March is cool and Cancer Awareness month. We've been talking
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: about it over the last couple of weeks. It's always
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: a good reminder that cool and cancer is one of
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: the most common cancers. But but it's also one of
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: the most preventable when called early, so screening can actually
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: find small growth before they ever turn into cancer, which
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: is why doctors recommend all adults getting screened at age
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: forty five. Now, if you have a family history, obviously
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: that kind of changes that math a little bit.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: But screening is very very important.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: So if you see any symptoms, if you you know,
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: have a family history, and even if it's going back
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: a couple of generations, it's a smart thing to go
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: ahead and get that screening. The Kolnospy is still the
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: best screening tool, but for some people they are also
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: simple at home tests that may be an option for you.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: So the key is talking with your doctor.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Having a relationship with primary care provider helps make sure
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: that you're getting the right screenings at the right time.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: So schedule an appointment today and you can do that
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: at oshner dot org slash schedule. Oshner dot org slash
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: schedule are through the my Oshner app All right, let's
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: talk about it. The LSU women's basketball team in March Madness,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: they are going to be hosting basketball here in Baton Rouge.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Yet again, they get a two seed.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: So, just like coach Mulkey told us last week, the
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: best starting position that they've had since she's been at LSU,
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: and they've had some very deep runs, including a national championship.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Already here at LSU. Now they are going to be
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: in a very difficult bracket. The Regional two. Sacramento the
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: one seed is ucla very good basketball team. Ole mess
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: is a five seed, certainly a very good basketball team.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Minnesota as a four is a good basketball team. You
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: got Duke as the three, LSU as the two. Now
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: for LSU in Baton Rouge, it's going to be LSU Jacksonville,
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: who's the number fifteen seed. That's who LSU is going
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: to be facing off in the first game coming up
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: on the twentieth. LSU's a fifty one and a half
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: point favorite, but I gave a fifty one and a
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: half point favorite in that game. Then Texas Real, that's real,
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Texas Texas seventh seed. Villanova is the ten seed, so
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: they'll also be in Baton Rouge. And so if you
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: get past Jacksonville, which we assume you are going to
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: being a fifty one and a half point favorite, you
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: will face the winner of Texas Tech and Villanova. But look,
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: it's not an easy road. I'm not going to sugarcoat
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: it for you. A lot of people say this is
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: by far the toughest regional. All right, so Regional two Sacramento.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: They do it different. They don't do East Southwest like
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: the men's they do different regionals. You've got Regional one
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: in Fort Worth, You've got Regional three in Fort Worth,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: and then two and four in Sacramento. So you would
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: pair up with in the final four if you do
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: make it that far with Regional three Fort Worth, which
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Texas is the one seed there, Michigan is the two seed,
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Louisville is the three seed, and then.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: West Virginia is the four seed.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: So look, not saying that it's easy by any means,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: but it's never going to be when you're talking about
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: women's basketball, because we talked about it last week, there's
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: like fifteen teams that you know are going to be
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: incredibly solid. There's not going to be a lot of upsets.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: It's not like the men's bracket, like the good team's
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: ninety nine point nine percent of the time when in
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: women's basketball. So if you do, in fact get to
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: a Sweet sixteen, I fully expect that you'll be facing
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: off against the Duke Blue Devils. Now, a great storyline
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: would be if the sixth seed Taylor Bears found a
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: way to get into the Sweet sixteen against LSU for
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: the obvious reasons.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that would be there'd be some eyeballs on that
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: for sure. But of course the women's bracket it's so
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: top heavy for a reason. Just like you said, there's
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: not as many upsets, so you would fully expect them to.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: The Baylor storyline would be awesome, and there's obviously would
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: be a chance there, but probably going to be Duke
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: and then the winner of that game taken on UCLA.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: So look, they're very good. They have the talent to
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: do it, they just haven't been able to put it
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: together against well of course, like South Carolina of course,
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: but you beat another number one seed, you beat Texas
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: this year, so the talent's there. They can do it.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: They just got to make a run. They got to
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: figure they got to figure out how to win.
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: And like, look, they just played and got some experience
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: played in elimination games and that's a good thing to
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: go through and to do and do.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: And they lost. So it's if anybody can kind of
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: guide you through those learning curves and and take the
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: positives out of losses like that, it would be kim Olki.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: So you know, I trust that.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be absolutely fantastic watching watching LSU
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: and maybe they can make a run of this thing.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Of course, it's a tough bracket. Got to go through
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: Duke intentionally Baylor, and then you got to go to
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: the UCLA. Yeah, it looks completely different than Regional four
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: in Sacramento.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: That is.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: South Carolina the one seed. You've got Iowa as the
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: two seed. You got TCU as the three seed in Oklahoma,
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: who LSU beat by four touchdowns as the four seed.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: So fifty one and a half point favorite.
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: Having South Carolina on the opposite side of the bracket,
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: that's what you want, right because look, LSU has been
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: great under Kim Mookie. That's the one hurdle you have
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: not yet been able to get over. Even when you
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: win the Natty, people talk about, Okay, well you played
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: Caitlin Clark and Iowa. They upset South Carolina, But would
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: that game have looked like without them? So having them
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: on the other side with a chance to potentially face
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: that team in the National Championship, keep your eyes out
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: for that potential matchup.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, if you can get out of your your bracket
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: and you play and play a Texas potentially played Texas team,
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: that you split with and then you know what.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: O the uniforms out there see what happens.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Of course, Yukon being the other one seed in the tournament,
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: so Texas, South Carolina, Yukon, U C, l A all
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: the number one seeds. For the two seeds, it's Vanderbilt,
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: it's LSU, it's Iowa, and it is Michigan. So I
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: would be surprised with South Carolina and that drawl if
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: they don't they don't make a run to the final four.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: I could make an argument for they got the easiest
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: two seed, one of the easiest three seeds. And then
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma is one of those teams, like I don't want
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: to diminish, like when they're really good, they can beat anybody.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: But we saw LSU beat them like the way they
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: did in the SEC tournament.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: So it's brackets rigged. You're just thinking it.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: All right, we'll take a break and when we come back,
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: we're gonna have Connor O Gera to join us to
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: talk a little SEC spring football gilt a preview. Not
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: only are the Tigers but across the league. And we'll
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: do that right here when we jump back on OTVP
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: the bench, all right, when it's time to kick back
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: and enjoy the game. Make sure you've got the right
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: beer in your hand, and that is do seki. So,

  Speaker 3: Helmer's in here in studio as he is every single
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Monday with us. All right, Well, I'm gonna start by
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: asking the same question that I asked the rest of.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: The roomn't here for that.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: Do you feel better, worse or the same about LSU
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: baseball after their trip to Nashville this weekend?
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: I feel better? Okay, first I should you said worse
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: the same thing I said. I feel the same about them. Yeah,
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: I feel better about it.
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: I mean, okay, you look at it from a you
• 29:57
  Speaker 9: gotta look at it from a positive lens. You know
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: they're blown save away from being a win in an
• 30:04
  Speaker 9: unaway series in the SEC in their first one, and
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: you know, obviously it didn't happen, and you give you
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: go back to back double digit walks Friday Saturday, which
• 30:14
  Speaker 9: hasn't happened since twenty seventeen in LSU baseball.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: But hey, twenty seventeen was a good team.
• 30:20
  Speaker 9: Look at it like that at the same time, but
• 30:24
  Speaker 9: you look, you gotta look at it positively.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: They come back on that Sunday and just you know,
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: they they ball out. You know, that's they just do
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: their thing.
• 30:32
  Speaker 9: And they didn't pitch great on Sunday, but the bats,
• 30:35
  Speaker 9: you know, tour it up and on the Friday thing.
• 30:38
  Speaker 9: You can't give up that many runs in the SEC.
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: You can't give up twenty four runs and two games
• 30:43
  Speaker 9: in the SEC and expect to be okay. And the
• 30:46
  Speaker 9: pitching is obviously what people are kind of worried about
• 30:49
  Speaker 9: right now. Look, the bats came alive and the Saturday game,
• 30:53
  Speaker 9: look their starter, Tip your cap and to him, he
• 30:56
  Speaker 9: was just awesome, you know, And sometimes you have to
• 30:58
  Speaker 9: do that in baseball, and that's why baseball so unique.
• 31:01
  Speaker 9: Sometimes you just have to be like, hey man, this
• 31:02
  Speaker 9: dude just got the best of us today. We couldn't
• 31:05
  Speaker 9: do anything about it. We just got to go out
• 31:06
  Speaker 9: there and get tougher tomorrow.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: I feel like they had a high on Friday, a
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: lot of energy, and then that's you know, when you
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: that happens, you get walked off after you come back
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: a lot of energy using kind of a little dead
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: on Saturday. But credit to them for finding that juice
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: again on Sunday.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, finding the juice.
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: And look, when things get tough like that, you just
• 31:25
  Speaker 9: got to get tougher, you know, as a team and
• 31:28
  Speaker 9: as an individual player. It's just part of the game.
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: Like that's why baseball is so cool. Like, look, a
• 31:35
  Speaker 9: couple of pitches away from being two and one in
• 31:37
  Speaker 9: the SEC and everybody's like, man sell a shoot team.
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: And then all of a sudden, now it's like man
• 31:41
  Speaker 9: sell a shoot team. Right, you know, it's two different
• 31:44
  Speaker 9: you know, scenarios. But you know, I think that I'm
• 31:48
  Speaker 9: a little more positive about it than them losing you know,
• 31:50
  Speaker 9: midweek game and the dropping a series to Sacramento State.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: Like this is a building block for them, for sure.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: I know I'm gonna be careful.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: I asked this question because I was talking about caseon
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: Evans earlier in the show and my thoughts on what
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: I've seen so far. But let me ask you like
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: an indirect question, because I know you know you want
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: to you want to speak positive absolutely in your experience,
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: what you've seen, what you've been around. Is there ever
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: an expiration date on an experiment when it comes to
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: thinking a guy is going to work out as a starter?
• 32:25
  Speaker 9: Great question? Yes, you how rare from Monday? A great question,
• 32:32
  Speaker 9: but uh yeah, absolutely, And I think you know there's
• 32:38
  Speaker 9: some people that probably saw that coming from what he
• 32:40
  Speaker 9: did and look at it's a bad performance. You know,
• 32:44
  Speaker 9: we we all know that, and I can tell you
• 32:46
  Speaker 9: he knows that too, and he feels that just as
• 32:49
  Speaker 9: much as the rest of it.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: Exactly. He's just he's a competitor, that's what he is.
• 32:54
  Speaker 9: And I think you know, this is just a total
• 32:58
  Speaker 9: opinion thought, like, as you see this LUE season go,
• 33:01
  Speaker 9: you may see Cooper Moore Friday, Schmid Saturday, and nobody Sunday, right,
• 33:07
  Speaker 9: And you've seen that a ton from LSU Baseball is
• 33:09
  Speaker 9: not having that Sunday guy. And maybe you find a
• 33:12
  Speaker 9: thing where Cason Evans is that that Griffin Herring who
• 33:15
  Speaker 9: comes in and throws four out of the pen like
• 33:17
  Speaker 9: he did all last year.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: That's where he's comfortable. We know he's got the stuff.
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: We know he's got the competitive nature to go out
• 33:23
  Speaker 9: there and be a pretty awesome bullpen guy. I don't
• 33:26
  Speaker 9: think Cason's a starter just from you know, and I've
• 33:29
  Speaker 9: thought that for a while. He could be a great starter,
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: But I think he's better serf coming out of the
• 33:34
  Speaker 9: pen with He's got a bulldog mentality.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: He's high energy.
• 33:38
  Speaker 9: When he comes out of the pen in a big situation,
• 33:40
  Speaker 9: and that's just going to be better serve to his
• 33:43
  Speaker 9: his pitching, the way he goes about his business. So
• 33:45
  Speaker 9: I think that you might see that. You know, they
• 33:47
  Speaker 9: may give him another chance this weekend. If it doesn't
• 33:49
  Speaker 9: pan out, then they move move, start moving guys around.
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: Let me ask you this, is there more nerves starting
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: a Friday night than starting a Saturday or Sunday Because
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: it's a few it's like an unknown, it's an no minder.
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: At least Saturday Sunday you've had a chance to watch.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: Correct.
• 34:03
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's it's totally different. I never started a Friday game.
• 34:07
  Speaker 9: I only started, you know, Saturday Sunday. But starting a
• 34:10
  Speaker 9: Friday night game is like, you're the guy. Everybody knows
• 34:14
  Speaker 9: you're the guy, and if you don't perform all it's
• 34:16
  Speaker 9: all on you.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, for him to go out there
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: and you know you walk you know six, and it's
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: just not the performance you want sucks.
• 34:24
  Speaker 9: But you know he's he's gonna get back on the
• 34:26
  Speaker 9: horse and who knows, maybe he comes out, you know,
• 34:28
  Speaker 9: next weekend and it's totally different. And like you said,
• 34:31
  Speaker 9: like not being able to see that lineup, you know
• 34:34
  Speaker 9: as a Saturday started on a Sunday starter Sunday started
• 34:37
  Speaker 9: seeing the lineup three times. If he's paying attention, he
• 34:39
  Speaker 9: knows how to get guys out Saturday.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: Same thing.
• 34:42
  Speaker 9: You've seen that lineup and so to not see that
• 34:45
  Speaker 9: lineup and it be fresh in your face coming at
• 34:47
  Speaker 9: you is a different story for a Friday game.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: Look, if he's your guy that comes in when you
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: have a lead and shuts the door like here again,
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: I know he's great in that, right, We've seen him.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: Do it on a National Champion. Times.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: You get a lead on a Friday night or Saturday
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: and that guy comes in and the it can be
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: the fifth inning he shuts the door. That's a great
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: role to have on an SEC team as exactly.
• 35:07
  Speaker 9: And that's and for him, like I think he's best suited.
• 35:10
  Speaker 9: That's where he's gonna get drafted. That's where his statistics
• 35:14
  Speaker 9: are going to line up the best with how he pitches.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: Uh, the top of the lineup too, Like they came back,
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: So Milon Brown carry out like that was really good,
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: Yes for him?
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: And Jay Brown is just like in fuego right now,
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: I mean all weekend long for him.
• 35:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah, And even the top of that lineup always on base.
• 35:32
  Speaker 9: But that middle, you know, and and bottom is like
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: we got to get some guys.
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: They're going to find somebody. Somebody has to step up
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: in that middle of the bottom of the lineup. Yeah,
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: they're going to find somebody in there.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: Like Aaron Beady had a good day yesterday, but you know.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: It's hasn't been all season long. Yeah, you're looking at
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: it all right.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: So you've got a series coming up with with Oklahoma
• 35:57

  Speaker 3: Our next guests are got Connor. O Garrett, host of
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: The OG Kickoff, joins us now and talk a little
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: sec spring football.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: Connor, what's going on, brother?
• 38:31
  Speaker 10: How we doing, gentlemen hanging in there?
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: How you guys doing doing fantastic?
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: Have you come down from the high of your Indian
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: Hoosiers winning the national championship.
• 38:41
  Speaker 10: A little bit? That's that's for personal reasons.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: We want to go there.
• 38:46
  Speaker 10: But yeah, look it's it's still surreal.
• 38:49
  Speaker 11: And as I'm sitting here, we're less than twenty four
• 38:52
  Speaker 11: hours removed from Indiana being left out of the tournament field.
• 38:57
  Speaker 10: So it's a weird time.
• 38:59
  Speaker 11: Like I'm texting with my Georgia buddies this morning, and
• 39:02
  Speaker 11: one of the things that they were talking about was
• 39:04
  Speaker 11: Georgia getting into the NCAA Tournament and Georgia can't win
• 39:08
  Speaker 11: a playoff game, and yet I you as this team
• 39:11
  Speaker 11: that for whatever reason can't get into the NCAA Tournament
• 39:13
  Speaker 11: is winning a national championship in football.
• 39:16
  Speaker 10: None of this makes sense in the year of Our
• 39:17
  Speaker 10: Lord twenty twenty six.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: That's fair, that is completely fair. But they cannot take
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: that title away from Indiana and it will certainly be
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: there forever. All right, Connor, I want to have you
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: on today talk a little sec spring football. The team
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: that you're most intrigued by going into the spring, for
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: whatever reason, it could be good, bad, and different whatever,
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: the team that you are looking forward to seeing or
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: hearing practice reports, seeing some clips, whatever.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: It might be.
• 39:44
  Speaker 10: LSU where am I saying that?
• 39:47
  Speaker 11: Of course, I do think there's a lot of intrigue
• 39:51
  Speaker 11: with everything that Lank Kiffin is trying to do year one,
• 39:54
  Speaker 11: and I think that there is an expectation that is
• 39:57
  Speaker 11: unlike any other year one coach in the se. See,
• 40:00
  Speaker 11: there are six new coaches in this conference, and it's
• 40:03
  Speaker 11: very unique talking about the roster because when you turn
• 40:06
  Speaker 11: over half of the roster like that, you are now
• 40:10
  Speaker 11: talking about a team that can have a new identity
• 40:12
  Speaker 11: year one, What does it look like with this ground
• 40:14
  Speaker 11: attack that was able to retain those running backs, but
• 40:17
  Speaker 11: you still have questions about what it's going to look
• 40:19
  Speaker 11: like schematically, do they have the offensive line to be
• 40:22
  Speaker 11: able to kind of pave the way? And I'm looking
• 40:24
  Speaker 11: at LSU now going well, they should be preseason top
• 40:27
  Speaker 11: ten every single.
• 40:28
  Speaker 10: Year with Lane Kiffen. That's the way that this works.
• 40:30
  Speaker 11: What's it going to look like with Sam Levitt knowing
• 40:32
  Speaker 11: that you're not going to get him in spring ball
• 40:34
  Speaker 11: and there are gonna be a lot of questions about
• 40:36
  Speaker 11: this team, But yeah, Lane is going to only probably
• 40:39
  Speaker 11: shine a spotlight.
• 40:40
  Speaker 10: Even bigger on his program.
• 40:42
  Speaker 11: I couldn't keep up with what he was doing over
• 40:45
  Speaker 11: the weekend playing hoops with the Cavender Twins, talking about
• 40:48
  Speaker 11: Carson Beck.
• 40:49
  Speaker 10: Like Lane just always is going to bring a spotlight
• 40:51
  Speaker 10: to baton Rouge.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: Connor, what's up, brother, Hey, I got a question for you.
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: Have you ever seen a player in the history of
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: college athletics so or college football certainly that wants to
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: go to the NFL less than Trinidad Chambliss.
• 41:06
  Speaker 10: No, look, no, yeah, and he for whatever reason, he's like, no,
• 41:12
  Speaker 10: I want to stay here. I want to stay here
• 41:14
  Speaker 10: as long as I possibly can.
• 41:16
  Speaker 11: There is certainly a conversation that's been had about Trinidad
• 41:20
  Speaker 11: Chambliss with NFL people. I don't think that he is
• 41:23
  Speaker 11: just looking at his situation going, well, you know what,
• 41:26
  Speaker 11: I just came from Division two. I am only good
• 41:30
  Speaker 11: enough to be at this level. I think that he's
• 41:33
  Speaker 11: had those conversations behind the scenes, but I do think
• 41:36
  Speaker 11: this is all about interntal belief and Matt, you know this,
• 41:40
  Speaker 11: if you have a sliver of doubt that you can
• 41:43
  Speaker 11: be that guy in the NFL, you're not ready. And
• 41:47
  Speaker 11: he would be drafted as a round one guy or
• 41:49
  Speaker 11: an early round two guy, wherein that clock is going
• 41:52
  Speaker 11: to be limited.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: He's not going to have some.
• 41:53
  Speaker 11: Three year runway at where he could be drafted and
• 41:56
  Speaker 11: you could say, yes, the quarterback class is way deeper
• 41:59
  Speaker 11: next year than it is this year. Maybe financially speaking,
• 42:01
  Speaker 11: it wasn't the best decision, but he clearly feels like
• 42:05
  Speaker 11: he has work to do as someone that obviously came
• 42:08
  Speaker 11: from the Division two level, was at Division two at
• 42:10
  Speaker 11: this time last year and probably thought that's what's going
• 42:12
  Speaker 11: to be his path, and I'm looking forward to seeing him.
• 42:15
  Speaker 10: I think he's the best returning quarterback in college football.
• 42:17
  Speaker 11: I think he is that dude, and I'm looking forward
• 42:19
  Speaker 11: to seeing what he can do after doing whatever he
• 42:22
  Speaker 11: could possibly do to stay in college football extra year.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: Connor, which team in the SEC do you think actually
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: has the most work to do of the teams that
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: were at the top or near the top just last year.
• 42:35
  Speaker 11: Let's talk about Texas here, because Texas is the team
• 42:38
  Speaker 11: that is going to get a lot of preseason buzz
• 42:40
  Speaker 11: and the Cam Coleman addition certainly splashy. They get Leak
• 42:43
  Speaker 11: Brown coming over from Arizona State. That's one thousand yard
• 42:47
  Speaker 11: rusher at the power conference level.
• 42:48
  Speaker 10: That's not nothing. But Texas is going to get a
• 42:50
  Speaker 10: lot of love because of arch Manning. What else is new?
• 42:53
  Speaker 11: I have questions about this defense. Will mus Champ was
• 42:57
  Speaker 11: a bold move from Steve Sarkisian. He moved on from
• 43:00
  Speaker 11: one of the best defensive coordinators in the country in
• 43:03
  Speaker 11: Pete kwiat Kowski, and he essentially said, I need a
• 43:06
  Speaker 11: head coach of the defense now.
• 43:08
  Speaker 10: They have a lot of turnover.
• 43:09
  Speaker 11: You're going to see these names that are coming off
• 43:11
  Speaker 11: the board on the Texas side for the NFL Draft.
• 43:13
  Speaker 11: They are going to make you go dang. They were
• 43:15
  Speaker 11: so talented. I thought they were going to be the
• 43:16
  Speaker 11: best defense in college football last year. That didn't prove
• 43:19
  Speaker 11: to be the case. But Texas is going to be
• 43:20
  Speaker 11: the team that I'm looking at going wait a minute,
• 43:22
  Speaker 11: are they going to have to win all these games
• 43:24
  Speaker 11: with shootouts? Are they really going to have a good
• 43:26
  Speaker 11: year one defense with Will mus Champ, who, by the way,
• 43:29
  Speaker 11: has not had total autonomy on the defensive side of
• 43:31
  Speaker 11: the ball since he was at South Carolina in twenty twenty.
• 43:34
  Speaker 11: And I do wonder if there is going to be
• 43:36
  Speaker 11: an element of man like they really need to win
• 43:40
  Speaker 11: all these games with shootouts to make them, you know,
• 43:43
  Speaker 11: perhaps not as viable of an elite contender as maybe
• 43:46
  Speaker 11: they're made out to be. But I think Texas is
• 43:48
  Speaker 11: one of those teams that is just loaded with intrigue.
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: At the top.
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: Connor Alabama has to replace, of course, probably going to
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: be the second quarterback taking and Tye Simpson this week
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: and I pulled a really nice Kilon Russell sports card.
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: Is this a hold or a self?
• 44:05
  Speaker 10: It's a hole?
• 44:06
  Speaker 11: Look, we did a draft of the top ten. Well, okay,
• 44:11
  Speaker 11: so let me phrase this the right way. We did
• 44:13
  Speaker 11: a draft on bog Kickoff of quarterbacks that we would
• 44:17
  Speaker 11: want for twenty twenty six, and that draft is essentially
• 44:22
  Speaker 11: who do you think is going to be considered one
• 44:23
  Speaker 11: of the best players in the country by season's end.
• 44:26
  Speaker 11: So surroundings are really big with that. I almost drafted.
• 44:29
  Speaker 10: Kielan Russell, and I think that he is in a spot.
• 44:33
  Speaker 11: Where people will question him because he's not necessarily the
• 44:36
  Speaker 11: most experienced guy in that system. Austin Mack is entering
• 44:39
  Speaker 11: year four in that offense, even though Austin Mack won't
• 44:41
  Speaker 11: even turn twenty years old until June, which is just baffling.
• 44:45
  Speaker 11: I don't know how that's possible. But Kilan Russell comes
• 44:48
  Speaker 11: in as the decorated guy who was on the cover
• 44:50
  Speaker 11: of Men's Health, and he is the one that I
• 44:53
  Speaker 11: think this coaching staff believes is Michael Pennix. Now he's
• 44:57
  Speaker 11: doing so in a different way as a right hand
• 45:00
  Speaker 11: and thrower, but I think he's the guy that's going
• 45:02
  Speaker 11: to get the keys to this offense, and I do
• 45:05
  Speaker 11: think that there is a sense that he can be
• 45:08
  Speaker 11: the difference maker. All these questions we have about Alabama
• 45:11
  Speaker 11: after their worst running game ever that they've ever had
• 45:15
  Speaker 11: in this offensive line that's got all these new pieces.
• 45:17
  Speaker 11: If you get a dude with Keilan Russell, it changes everything.
• 45:22
  Speaker 10: I think he's going to be that dude.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: All right, Connor, we've got about a minute left, and
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: I lest some time here for you to answer this
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: question the player for LSU in spring, since Sam Levitt's
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: not going to be able to be a full participant
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: in practice, that you're most looking forward.
• 45:38
  Speaker 11: To seeing land and Clark coming over from the FCS.
• 45:42
  Speaker 11: All right, Okay, look, I'm not saying he's going to
• 45:45
  Speaker 11: be turning that Chambliss. I am saying do not sleep
• 45:48
  Speaker 11: on his potential emergence because I know you get the
• 45:50
  Speaker 11: fives to form or five start coming over from USC,
• 45:52
  Speaker 11: and everybody's talking about what Sam Levitt's going to do
• 45:55
  Speaker 11: in this offense. It would be just kind of peak
• 45:58
  Speaker 11: Lane Kiffen if all of a sudden, Landing Clark emerged. Okay,
• 46:01
  Speaker 11: sub six footer, I'm here for the I have. You're
• 46:04
  Speaker 11: talking about like buying stock.
• 46:05
