• 0:07
  and updated commentary on previous episodes.
• 0:11
  On one of the most recent shows the college football tour with
• 0:14
  Brandon Tritt. He and I started talking college
• 0:17
  baseball, and with him being a Florida State fan, and me being
• 0:21
  for LSU, it reminded me of their legendary coach Mike Martin's
• 0:25
  last season when Florida State beat LSU to advance to Omaha.
• 0:30
  Cool and just how great tiger fans are with college baseball
• 0:34
  kicking off this weekend. Here's a quick little story.
• 0:37
  I think you'll enjoy You like college baseball?
• 0:45
  Do I love college baseball bat? Yeah, we do due diligence you.
• 0:48
  I love it, too. I grew up watching FSU and, you
• 0:51
  know, we have a great program to we just, yeah, we haven't won
• 0:55
  the big one yet. I know which is just so
• 0:57
  surprising. But when Mike Martin retired,
• 1:00
  Florida State played LSU and the Super Regional and and it gives
• 1:07
  me chill bumps, man, because I had so much fun at that and that
• 1:11
  and it just Was the love of baseball between Florida State
• 1:15
  and Louisville, baseball with it with LSU, just, you know, like
• 1:18
  you said to historical programs, but that was his last run.
• 1:23
  And even LSU fans, there's just like a little part of us it or
• 1:26
  like, but we kind of like that guy, you know, and one of the
• 1:32
  things that is neat, that happens at LSU, doesn't happen a
• 1:35
  lot, but when they lose one, occasionally that they want the
• 1:39
  team to make their Victory lap around the stadium, I'm like LSU
• 1:43
  does when they win and go on to Omaha Florida.
• 1:47
  State did a Victory lap around Alex Box Stadium.
• 1:52
  It's one of the coolest things that can happen.
• 1:54
  We just lost the game but we're over there.
• 1:56
  Giving giving them five coach Mike Martin deserved it.
• 2:00
  I was a million percent pulling for them and Omaha wanted them
• 2:06
  to win, it just wanted him to win it.
• 2:07
  I think our new coach is going to get us one.
• 2:10
  At some point, I have a good feeling about her.
• 2:12
  Part of States going to be good again.
• 2:14
  Oh yeah, we got it. We just had a Notre Dame's coach
• 2:16
  but he plays shortstop at FSU in the 90s and he was an
• 2:19
  All-American and he's taken Notre, Dame's the College World
• 2:23
  Series and they beat Tennessee in the Super Regional.
• 2:26
  That's that if that's true, I totally forgot that he left to
• 2:30
  go there. I was one of the most obnoxious
• 2:32
  teams I've ever seen ever in the history of college, baseball,
• 2:37
  period, super obnoxious, man. And I have nothing against
• 2:41
  Tennessee, but I I cannot stand there, baseball program, period
• 2:45
  capes and the way they play. I don't like anything about
• 2:48
  them, but they come to Baton Rouge the weekend of March 31st.
• 2:52
  Ha, ha. I can't wait.
• 2:54
  It's my son's birthday that weekend to back in the 90s and
• 2:57
  they called LSU. They play what gorilla ba I
• 3:00
  think maybe Tommy tanks is going to bring that back.
• 3:03
  I'm hoping so because we love gorilla ball down here.
• 3:06
  Tommy tanks can do it, and I remember watching him at NC
• 3:10
  State last year. It'll be fun.
• 3:12
  Glad to know your college baseball.
• 3:14
  Fan to one of my dreams is that, is he a nose went to their first
• 3:17
  College World Series in Omaha? That's like one of the top
• 3:20
  bucket list things for me. I've been to Omaha.
• 3:22
  Once this is not a story, I want to tell it what I had a blast
• 3:27
  LSU played Florida. We lost.
• 3:29
  I took my daughter and I we left, I really thought we were
• 3:33
  going to win the whole thing. I'd never been to Omaha and LSU
• 3:36
  just beat organ that and to advance to the championship.
• 3:40
  I'm I'm like We're leaving. So my buddy.
• 3:44
  Darren would Cajun tiger tailgate.
• 3:46
  He and I were watching that game and we decided we're going to
• 3:50
  Omaha. As soon as that game ended,
• 3:54
  like, we're on the phone. We book stuff like we were
• 3:56
  leaving in two days and we're going home, all 17 hour, drive
• 4:01
  got to tell them all. Well, I really had a blast.
• 4:04
  It was a lot of fun. We were in such a short trip,
• 4:07
  because we got beaten both games, and we'll get to it,
• 4:10
  turned around and came home, but Do it.
• 4:13
  Do it again, in a heartbeat, it was fun the next time FSU, or if
• 4:17
  they do, they make it the final, I'm going to be there.
• 4:20
  You have to, you have to go and spend three or four or five days
• 4:25
  it's tough. Because if you go for the whole
• 4:27
  tournament, I mean you're there for almost two weeks.
• 4:30
  So I know I'm people get can do that, but but go and spend four
• 4:35
  or five days so you can see everything else.
• 4:37
  I wish that we would have done that so I could have seen a
• 4:40
  little bit more, but yeah. Yeah, that's that's so awesome
• 4:44
  man. Because I LSU fans they show up
• 4:46
  like no other Toma for sure. It was crazy man.
• 4:50
  Promise you and hopefully it is as crazy once.
