• 3:58
  Speaker 4: I typically do, and I go gonna zoom.
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: In, zoom in to the show. Now when I do that, obviously,
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: like that.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Was with T Bob, and T Bob brought us, you know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: in from breaks and did all the talking and all that.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: I wonder if Flynn knows that he's gonna have to
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: do that, it's gonna like he's gonna like trying to
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: put the big boy pants on. He's gonna have to
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: drive the show while I am at the beach. Now,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: you know, a bad teammate would have just left him
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: hanging by himself. I'm gonna be a good teammate, gonna
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: you know, still come on the show every morning and
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: sit here and hang out. But I don't, Taylor, I
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: don't like the way you're smiling right there.
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: I'm just thinking, like what up?
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: And if there's like you'll be there because you do
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: it all the time, but like what if there's an
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: internet issue? Like I'm just Flynn's gonna be sweating the
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: whole show. I'm excited, yo.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Really honestly, because I know he's not listening in Turks
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: and Caicos right now. We actually do need to play
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: in like a seven fifteen. I'm just gonna like turn
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: my computer off, like it just crash, yeah on the screen.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: And lost him and then he's.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: He's gonna lose it.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: He's got to come back.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: I mean he he did say that hosting a show
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: solo was more nerve wracking than playing in front of
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: one hundred thousand people.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Really, I can see that you got a helmet on.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: It's tunnel vision, and you're prepared for it.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: What you've done to say, you've been what your whole life,
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: you know, So I get that. But look, there's nothing's
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: wrong with a little baptism by fire.
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Sometimes you gotta get thrown in the fire and survive,
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: like and that's the best way you can learn from
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: it is by getting thrown in the fire.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Like, I am trying to think what my first So
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: I actually kind of did so low before I got here.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: You know, not every day, but it would be some
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: of the time when I was hosting in Shreveport. But
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: the one that kind of stands out to me, I
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: was pretty new to serious exem because it like wildly.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: I started this in February, and I started series sex
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Cement March like of the same year, twenty eighteen probably,
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: and me and Big Swagu Marcus Spears were doing the
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: show together, right, and it was a Friday, and I
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: don't remember what happened, but we were going to have on.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: It was maybe Kirby or somebody like the Kirby Smart so,
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: somebody of that nature, you know, and about an hour
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: into the show, Spears stuff just crashes. Okay, So I
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: got two hours left national radio by myself, and you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: luckily I had Kirby because I know Kirby played for him.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: But when you're looking at the clock and you're like,
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: oh my god, it's eight o'clock. I got to get
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: to ten o'clock. Actually it was earlier, so it was
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: like seven o'clock. I gotta get to nine o'clock. I'm
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: by myself here. This is national radio. It's like, what
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: are we going? And I didn't have a producer at
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: that time that was talkative on the mic, very very
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: good at the technical side of it, but it wasn't
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: a talker. Oh man, I'm going to talk about And
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: if you go solo in a show, right, you plan,
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: you prep, you have everything in front of you, like
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: you have your talking points.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Hey, at some point I got to give like a
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: seven minute dialogue on like something right, oh now, when
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: you're not ready? Now, when you haven't done that? That
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: was That was probably the most nervous I've ever been
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: on a microphone, just because brand new to this national
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: company and this is going.
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: Like through North America.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Oh wow, And I'm sitting here and I you know,
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: I'm I'm I'm hosting it and I'm leaning on on
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: spears and then doom out.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: Do you feel like you became better from that point on?
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: But the nerves has just gone from that point on.
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: It wasn't even like gosh, it wasn't even like a nerse.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: It was like a disappointment that I didn't didn't have
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: it ready to go like I would have. And so
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: like from that day forward and my my serious ex
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: symbols always last at me because you know we have
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: technical issues.
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: I mean even though like.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Because like I'm in Baton rouge EJ's in Miami. When
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Bobby does it, he's in Columbus. My producer one's in
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: l A Ones in DC. So you're gonna have things
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: pop up every now and again, right, And I always
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: have like the eleven minute monologue ready to go. Any
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: any show that I do, I am ready for that
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: eleven minute go right into a monologue of what I'm
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: going to talk about and we'll figure it out at
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: the back end of it. So yes, that that that
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: taught me that you have to have that ready to go.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: That's that's like my biggest biggest fear when I'm when
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I'm solo hosting for you guys, because like.
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: Jay Gulla, if you're aware of this, I love me
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: a monologue. It's kind of my thing.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: But whenever I have like a guest scheduled, I learned
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: this because it happened to me one time. Just like
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: you're talking about, I have a segment ready to go.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: If they don't answer, if the drops whatever, like I'll
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: always have something back up.
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: Because of that.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, they never like that's going to happen when you're
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: doing a solo show and you've got guests lined up
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: to kind of Okay, if I get to there and
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: I get there, I can make this point.
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: I can make that point.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Somebody's not answering, Yeah, that's going to happen. I don't
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: nere's any question about that.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: We do have, as Tata laid out a ton to
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: get to We're gonna have Mikey Matchuk actually sit in
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: with us for the full eight o'clock hour, somebody that's
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: been in Omaha, somebody that's played the full distance in Omaha,
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: won a national championship. So very excited to have Mikey
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: in studio with us. We are going to have JD
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: pakel On on three Sports. You've seen JD everywhere does
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: a fantastic job. Jordan's a little nervous because JD is
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: pretty high on the LSU Tigers. I've tried to calm
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Jordan down because there's a lot of people that are
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: high on the LSU Tigers. Are got connor O Gera
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: who joined us yesterday. He's got him winning a national champion.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: I understand where you're coming from. But also it is
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: okay to have that kind of alpha confidence as well.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: You're right, you know, I appreciate that everybody wants to
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: blow smoke up or you know what. I appreciate that,
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: but it's like, man, I'm not gonna really be fully
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: bought into this season just yet until week one, until
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: I see what happens after that Clemson game, because you
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: have to show me. I get it. It's not the
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: it's not the end of the world if they lose
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: against Clemson week one. But at a certain point you
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: can't go, oh and six, you know, what's your your
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: week one matchup like that. As soon a point you
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: gotta start the season one and oh so if they
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: do that, then I'm like, okay, I'm ball all mall in.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm on a nuts bus, baby, we riding,
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: but if we all want, hey, the nuts bus needs
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: some gas. I don't know what to do, Brian Kelly,
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: he doesn't know how to change the tire. Something is
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: going wrong, and I just everybody hyped it so much. Yeah,
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: it's gonna come back.
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: I think it is very fair.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: I think it's very fair for LSU fans to say
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: I think we can be that team, but the opener,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: and wildly enough, I mean, you can lose the opener
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: and you know, you go ten and two, lose one
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: SEC game and you're in the playoff, but PTSD from
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: losing that opener, and you're right, how many times you
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: know have you fought back? You lose the opener and
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: it's like you're scratching your claw and your fighting and
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: then you like you fall one game short of what
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: you know your goal was. Like if you would have
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: won the opener, just started season one and zero, it'd
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: be different.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: Did not happen to Jaden Daniels his first year, was
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: that his first.
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: They went to the SEC championship game.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: They would have beaten Georgia because they wound up with
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: four losses. They had three in the regular season. So
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: if they would have beaten Georgia, I don't think they
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: would have gotten it at nine and three for ten
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and three whatever they would have been.
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Kelly was on that.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Podcast the other day, I don't I don't remember whose
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: podcast he was talking about how like hey, this is
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the first time, like we're right like Clemson all over
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the locker room, this this, this and that, like it's
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: it says Clemson here and there, and you know, a
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: lot of people had pushback saying, okay, well, for the
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: longest time, you put too much stock into the Alabama game.
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: I don't want you to do that here.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I would normally agree, but whatever the hell Kelly did
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: in the past, do the opposite. He's like, this is
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the first time we've done that. I'm like, good, do it.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Change it up, do something different. So I don't know,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: we'll see if it works or not. But he's taking
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: a different approach.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: See, I hadn't seen that yet, but making too much
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: of the Alabama game. Like, there's one thing that we
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: all have to understand is Nick Sable's coaching that team
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: that entire time period. It's not even like a slight
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: a Dabbo or anybody they've played, but like Nick Saban
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: and Alabama for a long time was just inevitable.
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: That's what it was, right, So I think it's a
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: different scenario.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: And yeah, like coach Miles and that time period, it
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: was like all built up around one singular game. I
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: don't think this is building up around one singular game
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: like that game was in the middle back end of
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: the season. This game has just started off. This game
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: is from the very beginning. Why would you not be
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: putting up all the logos of the team you're facing
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: in the first week. I talk about it all the time.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to think of the openers that we had
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: while I was.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: At LSU.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: I think we had Oregon State, Arizona State, and I
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: know we had Mississippi State my last year.
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: It was like a Thursday night game or something.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Missippi State kicked off the season Thursday in Startville. Yeah,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: maybe like six we did have I think ULL or somebody,
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: but like for the most part, like we had Power
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: five opponents, right, and Arizona State. We didn't get the
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: chance to, like, you know, think about it all all
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: season because it was Hurricane Katrina.
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: That's why we let off that game.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: But I mean, I definitely remember Mississippi State, like talking
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: of aut it and that being a off season rallying
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: cry of hey we got an SEC opponent from week one.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: I don't give a damn who it is. It's in
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: the SEC, it's on the road. And Maffatt talked about
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: it all the time. We're what one tens you.
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: Think it's hot here Starkville Mississippi. It's ten times lotter
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: than here.
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: Right now, they're.
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: Out working you.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, the whole streams coach. Yeah, I
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: gotta get your mind right.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: So I love that. Why would you not? Like you
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: got a dog right off the top in week number one.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: It's a top five tight matchup, your Heisman Trophy candidate
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: quarterback versus theirs, your death valley versus their little death valley,
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Like all hell, yeah, I want I want that game
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: talked about every day, every day, every single day.
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: I want something talked about in that game.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: So if people don't like that, I don't like that
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: because I think you need to highlight it. It's not
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: we nine. That's where you get into trouble with Alabama.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: It's Nick Saban's Alabama.
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: It's week nine. What about the first eight weeks? But
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: you don't have that, There's there's.
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: Nothing else in front of you.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: And like to your point, it's it's it's the marquee
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: matchup of quarterbacks, right, But it's more than that. Like
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Jordan's talking about everybody hyping up LSU. Everyone is saying
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: this is the best roster Brian Kelly's ever had at LSU. Yeah,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: but you could argue this is the best team Brian
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Kelly's played in the opener. I get the twenty twenty
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: three Florida State team that was a neutral site game
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: both times. This is a true road game against a
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: against a cave club. Nikias's top three receivers from a
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: year ago back. They have a great D line. Your
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: line is your biggest question mark, Like, you have to
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: highlight this game because if not, you're going to lose
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: it again.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: And didn't Clemson actually bring transfers in for the first
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: time ever.
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: A couple a half like two, I think actually two
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: or three.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: That's like record for Clemson.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, they'd never brought one in. The only transfers
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Day had brought in. It was someone who had deep
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: ties to the school was.
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: A McCoy, Bruce McCoy or he went to Tennesse. Yeah
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: now he is Tennessee, Tennessee.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: And then they brought somebody in that had Simon mc
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: clemson played there, left and came back. So they had
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: never really gone and got like a true transfer from
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: somebody else until this year.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: And I think they got two or three. So it
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: looks a good roster.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Their front seven on defense might end up being the
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: best you play all season long. You've got a brand
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: new offensive line, right, there's going to be things that
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: give you problems in this game.
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well look, but you also have some advantages too.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: It's funny we say this and we're talking about this
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: because one of my biggest gripes, and I think I
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: told you this off camera when I last time I
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: was here, and I was like, my biggest gripes is
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: when you watch week one of an LSU game or
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: LSU season and then look at the roster, Well, look
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: at who's starting week one, and it looked who's started
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: like week six. Yeah, and it's just like, bro, if
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: y'all didn't play such a Marquee match of week one,
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: like you're trying to figure it out when to fly.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm okay with that. I'm okay with the Marquie
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: matchup week one. I'm not hunt oh man.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: I So I went back and looked at, you know,
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: your year when y'all played like y'all played, like I said,
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: Arizona State, you played Missippi.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: State, Oregon State No. Four freshman year oh five?
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Were youre talking about the Katrina year.
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: That was Arizona State?
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm just like, you know, can we get
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: a game like that? You know, can we play at
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: Arizona State was ranked ranked at the time. Really, Yes,
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Oregon State game was a battle.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Derek Anderson was a quarterback for Oregon State. Do
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: you remember that name.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: He was like the one Cleveland quarterback who had some success.
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: He made like a Pro Bowl in Cleveland.
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: I remember he replaced the Charlie Frye who was awful.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: That's like five Pro Bowls and you get that in Cleveland. Yeah,
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: there's no question.
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah I am not.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: I don't want to play little sisters of the four
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: in the week number one, Like, I'm just go win,
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: just go win. Florida State had to play you and
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: they beat you twice. USC had to play you, they
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: beat you. U C l A played you, they beat you.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Mississippi State played you, they beat you.
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: They had they had to play LSU and they won.
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: So I'll never forget that Missippi State one because go
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: figure it out. You remember if when after we lost
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: the Missippi State game, they grittied on the tiger Ie
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: in the middle of the field like the was it
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: was like right out the National championship.
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: Yes, right after maybe the greatest college football season.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: That was such a slapper.
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: They didn't know that that that team wasn't going to
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: be very good.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: Yea, So when they hit the gritty, I was like,
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: oh okay, bet okay, okay, all right, no loving war.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: Look, Mississippi State doesn't get to celebrate football victories over
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: LSU very oftenies really all right, uh, we will step away.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: When we come back, we'll certainly get this thing started.

  Speaker 4: we get this thing started, obviously, all the talk around
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: town is Omaha and Omaha, Nebraska as LSU is getting
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: set to take on Arkansas tomorrow night. But to get
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: things started there in Omaha, it will be Coastal Carolina
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: taken on Arizona. That game is going to be at
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: I believe noon, correct in that a one eastern first pitch,
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: so it's gonna be at noon and then at five
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: pm local time. You're going to have Oregon State in Louisville.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: And we talked about it yesterday. I got a look excited,
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: maybe even got ahead of ourselves. As we're talking Coastal
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: and Oregon State. Do we believe that there's gonna be
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: any other outcome? Are are we riding with Coastal Carolina
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: in Oregon State? In these first round matchups.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Coastal for sure, the organ State one cand get a
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: little bit dicey, but I mean yeah, everybody's kind of
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: projecting those two to, you know, be the final two
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: remaining in that top part of the bracket.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Jordan, you do Hunt show a lot, so you have
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: to listen to a lot of baseball takes. You have
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: ninety seven different Major League Baseball hats that you wear
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: every other day, so I know.
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: You've got to have a baseball take here.
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: My baseball take is LSU Championship. Let's go.
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: I'll you tune Hunt outs. What you're telling me, Well,
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: it's just.
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: More college baseball wise, is like LSU. Everybody else really
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: doesn't matter. Like I'm not, I'm not the college baseball guy.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: I like college football, you know, I like college basketball.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: I like the pros. You know, I'm more of a
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: pros guy when it comes to baseball. But of course
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: I watch LSU my favorite LSU players though, I'll tell
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: you that, can you.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Know, Sorry, Hunt, Sorry, sorry that Jordan doesn't listen to you.
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: Oh I do apologize. Oh that's true.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I got Coastal, I've got Oregon State, and
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: if they do advance. That game six that we talked
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: about yesterday could be electric. Coastal's got all the belief
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: that they can go win this deal and they don't
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: want to hear about.
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: Being a mid major.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: They have won a national championship. Sure it was gosh
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: was it nine years ago? Now twenty sixteen, I believe
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: is when that went down, But that doesn't matter. Like,
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: when you get that done, then everybody that follows behind
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: that championship believes that they are, that they are champions,
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: they have the ability to go win a national championship.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: And so I do like Coastal there in that matchup
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: against Arizona, and then for the Beavers for Oregon State,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: like blue bloods don't play on the.
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: Road, they just don't.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: And Oregon State is that in college baseball, Like think
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: about non conference games. We're talking Georgia, Ohio State, right,
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: they don't go on the road and play a non
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: conference game very often. If they do, it's like a
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: one off win with some massive, massive brand that's kind
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: of on the same level as them. But because Oregon
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: State was independent, right, they played in the PAC two
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: in football, they played in the West Coast Conference in basketball,
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: they're independent in baseball. They didn't have a home, they
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: didn't like, they didn't have the ability to play weekend series.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: They're in Corvallis because after they played their non con
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: they had to find people that had off weekends, and
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: that just doesn't happen in college baseball. Once you start
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: conference play, it's like, okay, we're in the nitty gritty
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: of it. But for Oregon State, they had to reach
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: out to teams in the Big Ten. They had to
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: go play like Iowa and like what they were calling
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: a neutral site but it was like right by Iowa,
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: and you had to travel across the country and like
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: a neutral site series, you had to play a bunch
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: of Big West teams, you know, you're you know cal State,
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: fulletin UC Irvine, Long Beach, like those teams, Like you
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: had to do whatever you could to just get games now,
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, and they know their schedule actually was pretty good.
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: Ended up playing some really good teams, but mostly on
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: the road.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: So them going to Omaha, Nebraska, that ain't nothe but
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: a thing for them. They've done that all season long,
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: and you saw how much they enjoy playing at home
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: in Corvallis last weekend against Florida State down four to
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: one with two outs and you win the game. There's
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: something about Oregon State being battle tested like they are
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: that I think is going to play really, really well.
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: And I started out the process.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Thinking Coastal, but the more and more I think about it,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: dive into it, and the way Oregon State has played
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: this year, the things they've had to overcome this year,
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: I think the Beavers actually went Bracket one.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I could see it going either way.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: But everyone talks about, Hey, Coastal Carolina has over fifty wins,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Oregon State sitting at forty seven. So that's kind of
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: what and what you talk about playing on the road
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: a lot. You're battle toested, you're comfortable away from home.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: What did we talk about this LSU baseball team a
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: month and a half ago? Why can they hit the
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: cover off the ball at home? Can't hit a lick
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: on the road. Now that's changed a little bit, But
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of teams like that. Oregon State's one
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: big games on the road, and we don't know, you
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: know how many fans of what fan base. I imagine
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of Oregon State fans are going to travel
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: to Omaha because they haven't seen their team play a
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: lot this year, so they might have a lot of
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: this little home crowd behind them in Omaha.
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: No, I don't I don't hate that pick at all.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Like everything you need to be successful in Omaha, like
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Oregon State has it.
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: They also have a tie on the record. I gotta
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: do something.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: I saw that investigating, But the time is probably because
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: they were cross country playing a game. They're like, hey,
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: we got to get home. We gotta give us a weather,
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: we gotta get back to UH to Oregon. UH and
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: Bracket too, obviously the one that we're gonna all be
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: eye hustling a little bit more than Bracket one.
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: You've got UCLA and Murray State.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: That is going to be Saturday noon first pitch, and
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: then of course Arkansas and LSU no surprise, going to
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: be the prime time game there. Ucla Murray State real
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: toss up for me. Now, UCLA has not lost in
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: this postseason. They have not lost a they have not
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: dropped a game, like and I feel like we hadn't
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: talked about that zero losses on their resume here in
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: the postseason. Right now, you know they probably expected to
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: have to go to Austin, Texas and they got UTSA
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: at home. But still you can only control what you
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: can control, and they've controlled all of it because they're undefeated.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: And then Murray State has by far had the hardest
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: path to get to this point. You go through Old Miss,
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: you go through a Georgia Tech team that won the
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: ACC regular season that probably should have been one of
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: the sixteen host sites. And then you go on the
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: road to Duke and you lose the first game and
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: have to come back and win the next two, and
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: you do just that.
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: They have been through the fire.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: There's no more like you know, Cinderella win one for
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: the gifver like they know, they believe that they belong there.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: And just like I talked about with Coastal Carolina earlier,
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: like with them winning a championship in their history. Now
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: Murray State certainly has not won a championship first time
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: they're in Ovaha, but you know that they're leaning on
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Fresno State in two thousand and eight as a four
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: seed going playing kind of a similar path that they've
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: had in going to win a national championship. Murray State's
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: been a really good team all season long. They were
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: a four seed but they were forty four and fifteen
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: on the year. What chances do we give the Racers
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: against the Bruins.
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: I don't. I don't.
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: I don't give them much of a chance. I hate
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: to say that.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people we're picking UTSA against UCLA.
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: I was not one of those people.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I've been very impressed with the UCLA If there's a
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: team that's won a lot of games, Ral Cholosky for
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: UCLA might be the best player in this tournament. For
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: those of you who don't know, the guy hits three
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: sixty seven and has twenty three home runs on the season.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: He can hit a little bit. I mean he's got
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: seventy three RBIs and really the top out of the
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: top five guys in their batting order. The lowest batting
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: average is three thirteen. Yeah, and these guys can hit.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: And Murray State they've had good pitching. Their staff's not
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: going to be that deep. So if UCLA can get
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: to that starter early on, I think this a batting
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: lineup could have a lot of success. UCLA's got two
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: pretty decent starting pitchers. Like I really like the Bruins
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: their team. I mean, I know we talked about it.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: The other day, you were saying, take LSU Arkansas out
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: of it, who would be your best bet as far
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: as uh, you know, what their favorite is to win
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: the title, and Ucla was my pick.
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: I'm kind of sticking to that.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: That's kind of maybe the team I like the best
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: that a lot of people are talking about in Omahall.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: You know, UCLA is a program that I think a
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: lot of people just assume they've had this long standing
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: history of success and you know that they've always been
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: in the thick of it, and I think they just
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: get that confused with other schools that are located in
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: southern California through USC and cal State Fullerton and those schools.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: For UCLA, now, there was a time period where they
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: were like, they looked like they were about to be
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: that team twenty ten, twenty twelve, twenty thirteen they make
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: it to Omaha, but before then they had only made
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: it twice nineteen sixty nine and nineteen ninety seven. Now
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: that twenty thirteen team they did go win a national championship.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: It's been twelve years since UCLA has been in the
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: College World Series. So like the history, and I'll be honestly,
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: I was surprised by that, Like I just you know,
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: growing up, it's like Southern California, Southern California, USC all
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: these other teams, and I thought I remember UCLA being
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: in there.
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: They were not.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, they had a chance to really parlay that
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: ten twelve thirteen run into extended success and they didn't
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: do it. Now they've been closed, So the Brewin is
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: going to be real hungry to be there and to
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: go get a victory. And for them, they might not
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: tell you publicly, but when you look at the field,
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: no disrespect to Murray State. It's been awesome to watch,
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: but you would pick Murray State to be the team
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: that you go against.
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: They're a four seed, right and it's Murray State.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: Like you said, it is Murray State.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: Don't disrespect John Morant like that.
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: And on my team. So I forget John Moran, well.
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: Two years ago, wish he was John Moran.
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: Come after your Juordan.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: Hey, hey, hey, I practiced the Second Amendment.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: On that note, let's take a break and we'll preview
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: l s U and Arkansas in detail when we come
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: back here on OTB.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Off the bench.
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: So when Flynn left for vacation, he's like hey, we
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: have my phone.
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: May y'all let me know, y'all hit me up, y'all
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: need anything, like, I'll be right there, Like I'll post
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: all the show stuff and so.
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: We'll get it all out there, whatever. Whatever.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: We've gotten two messages from him, which look, it's fine,
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: it's okay, you're on vacation, go do you. But we've
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: gotten two messages from him. One was an ice cold
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: air port, Do sequis right. The second one was him
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: on a T shirt because he's turning forty. You know,
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: you got like a birthday theme going right there, he's
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: on a golf course with this ridiculous haircut, but in
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: his hand he's got a nice cold. Do sekis right.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: So Flynn goes for dose. We go for dose. You
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: should go for dose. And it is the best pull beer,
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: beach beer, lake beer, shower beer, tailgate, beer, stadium beer,
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: any beer.
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: It is always going to be do sekis.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: And so here in this month of June, all these
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: different activities going on, probably gonna be outside a little bit, man,
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: Go ahead and have that cold or refreshing do secies,
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: drink responsibly, and always go for dose.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: From players to legends, Hester and Flynn breakdown on L
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: s U football.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Like only champions can.
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: And just kept telling me I wouldn't, So I didn't
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: man a great song. But like I bet you won't, Well, okay,
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: I won't.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I won't.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: I won't do it, won't do it.
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: Don't have to come back, I bet you I won't
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: do Whenever I want to come back.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: You're gonna get dad jokes all the time here.
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: I am a father of many L.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: S U Arkansas last matchup here to break down in Omaha.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: And again we got mikey Matuk joining us for a
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: full hour to break it all down. But we're not
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: just going to concentrate on like the one singular game
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: with Mike. You certainly want to get his experience and
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: him being in Omaha making the run all the way
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: to a national championship. But but it is the game
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: that everybody is talking about. It is the game that
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: I think everybody wants to see.
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: It is blue blood on.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: Do we call Arkansas a blue blood because they haven't
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: won that national championship?
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: And for me, you need to win one of those
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: to be a blue blood.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: I think it's more of like an Oregon in football, right,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: like the last ten to fifteen years, they've been pretty good.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: They've never broken through whatever category you put them in.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: That's where I'm putting.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: Oregon's pretty good. Pretty good comp there. I'm trying to
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: think fucking because they haven't won one, Like.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: Well, how many do they have in total? Do you know?
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: Arkansas?
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: They don't.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: That's yeah, Like if they had one, I'd call them
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: a blue blood because they've.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: Won a ton of games.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: Cut like a blue blood, you gotta go win the
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: entire thing. So, okay, it is blue Blood versus Power.
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know a recent Powers Bama.
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: It is a big marquee matchup. Let's just put it that.
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: It is Ace on ace. It is deep lineup on
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: deep lineup. Who are the X factors going to be
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: in the matchup? Like that is going to be something
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: I'm paying attention to for Ella's shoe, Right, You're going
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: against a lefty, all right, so the lineup could look different. Now,
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: the first time that you played this same team that
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: with the same pitcher, you went with kind of what
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: your normal lineup was at the time. Now, the last
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: time you went against the lefty against West Virginia, Josh
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: Pearson was the leadoff hitter right because he hits left
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: as well.
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: Kuriel got moved down in the lineup.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: Do we expect to see the same type of movement
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: that we saw against West Virginia here in this matchup?
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: Because remember Derek Uriel went what three for three five
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: RBIs in that game where they moved him down.
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: The next game they moved him back up. But if
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: you do it against the lefty and he's.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: Super regional, I'm gonna assume you're gonna do the same
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: thing in Omaha.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like Curiel at the top. I'm one of
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: those weird people that's like, you can move the lineup
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: all you want, don't move your lead off batter. I
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: think the fact that he went three for three, maybe
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: you keep him because he he in the first matchup
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: against Arkansas, he batted at the top. He went one
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: for five, but he had two RBIs, he scored a run,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: so like he did Derek Curie, all things right, he
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: got on base. Pierson batted clean up that day and
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: he actually went.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: Oh for three, hit fifth that day, didn't he I'm.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm completely looking at her went oh for three
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: that day.
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: I think Pierce strike, Yeah, I don't know if he
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: leads off.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: I just think if you did it in the super
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: But again, I mean, obviously Jay Johnson, he does like
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: he's gonna move things around. He's going to come up
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: with what he feels like in that moment is going
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: to be the best lineup. So that is one thing
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: to pay attention to whenever it is rolled out there.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: And Jake Brown somebody that probably doesn't start the game,
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: but when he's in the game, he's your cleanup hitter,
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: right because the splits between lefties and righties obviously is
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: going to be ipopping. When you look at it, it's like, oh, okay, well,
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: I understand why you're.
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: Making that move.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: And to have a piece like that on the bench,
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: knowing as soon as they get a righty out of
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: the bullpen, you can go, you know, your normal cleanup
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: hitter against a arriety off the bench against that guy
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: obviously something that is key for LSU.
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: So we'll see how it's formatted.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: We will see how the lineup ends up shaking out,
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: because again Jay likes to move different pieces around depending.
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: On what the matchup is.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: Last time out, Root did go six innings, gave up
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: five hits, two earned runs, struck out six, did not
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: walk a batter. Kate Anderson five and two thirds, seven hits,
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: three runs, all earned, one walk, ten strikeouts. But even
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: I think to the breakdown here more importantly, Chase Shores
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: came in, he went an ending in a third. He
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: only gave up two hits, one run, no walks. That's
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: a big part there. And then Zach Cowen came in
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: three innings, only gave up two hits, no runs, walk
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: to struck out three. I love kind of stacking it
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: like that, right, And it's like a very elementary thought
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: process of baseball, of going you know, speed, elite speed
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: guy with a devastating change up right, You're just you're
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: changing the speed on them, right, You're changing you know
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: what they have to pick up out of the pitcher's hand.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: So look, if it works out like that again, you
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: go Anderson, Shore's Cowen, I think you're in a good spot.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: If you'rre Lshoe, I think you just found who's the
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: key to this game.
• 38:40
  Speaker 7: To Jake, I mean, no no secrets.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Zach Cowen not awful, but not you know what he
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: was earlier in the year and that Arkansas game. That's
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: a one run game, Zach Cowen gets the ball the
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: last three innings, strikes out three, gives up no runs
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: like you can get that, Zach Cowen again. You don't
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: have to burn as many bullpen arms if you can
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: go three innings for you giving up no runs like
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: that might actually be the key to the Arkansas game again.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: And of course, like we're making a lot of you know,
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: this game one for LSU, it's gonna be game four
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: over you know, overall in Omaha. But the thing for
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: LSU fans, no matter what if you win or if
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: you unfortunately lose, you are not in a terrible spot.
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: Right It's not complete doomsday if you lose again the
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: obvious statement, you want to win the baseball game. Nobody
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: is going to be able to throw somebody out there
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: in a game two scenario like LSU and I'm talking about.
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: In the entire tournament.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: You have one A and Kate Anderson, and one B
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: and Anthony Jinsen, and you can flip those rotate them
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: however you want. It could be one A, Iinsen, one
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: B Anderson. You have the best one two punch in
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: the nation. So even if you do d this game,
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: it is not all over for LSU. You can climb
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: your way out of the loser's bracket. Not what you
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: want to do, but this team right now and the
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: way it's formatted, it is set up to make a
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: run in Omaha. So game one highly important, no question
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: about it. You'd rather Anthony Yinton pitch in a game
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: in the winners bracket, but that is certainly something because
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: I think we're making so much and just like Arkansas,
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: I've been on two Arkansas shows this week, so much
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: about this one single game. That's not what Omaha is.
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: Omaha is a grind. It is lengthy if you're doing
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: it correctly. So look, we'll break this game down, but
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: certainly there's going to be big things to play for
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: either way, for LSU or Arkansas, depending on who wins
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: and loses the game. All right, we will step away
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: here on OTB and when we come back, Taitay is
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: gonna hit you with a little LSU football recruiting news
• 40:56

  Speaker 6: Had on a stuff Miss.
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: Bad Woman, Welcome back in O t B one O
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: four five ESPN. Matton Rouge and we were actually talking
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: about it during the break there Certainly, high school football
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: recruiting has changed.
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: We all know that.
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: Ten years ago we used to have the old Bayou Bash.
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: Ten years ago, we used to do a live show
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: on CST from the Convention Center. As the signees came in,
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: we would break down every single signee on TV.
• 43:01
  Speaker 6: Like, we all know that has changed. It is no
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: longer the same.
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: The portal certainly has affected that as far as you
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: can get players out of the portal, and you might
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: only have a guy for a year. Sometimes they'll even
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: make it to their first fall. They get here in
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: January and they transfer before that's even over right, So
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: it's changed. The following every single day recruiting part has changed.
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: I mean there used to be times I.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: Would do radio and that would be the lead topic
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: of a like high school recruiting and who LSU had
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: gotten and where their class is not the same there,
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: But still doesn't mean that LSU's not doing big things
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: in high school recruiting. It is still very important if
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: you're a football program to build the foundation of your
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: program through high school recruiting. You look at you know,
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: Michigan their national championship team, the Buckeyes last year.
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: You look at Georgia in the back to back years.
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: They have guys out of the portal for sure, but
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: the foundation of that team was through high school recruiting,
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: and so LSU's still doing big things in that realm
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: and Tite.
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: They got another big commitment yesterday.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, BIG's an understatement. Sixty six two ninety five. Emmanuel Tucker,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: offensive tackle. Obviously at that size, four star player. He
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: was the seventeenth ranked offensive lineman for twenty twenty six.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: The way I always look at it, Jake, it is
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: really hard, for whatever reason, to get guys in Mississippi
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: to leave the state. Brian Kelly has done a really
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: good job of that, and then when you look at
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: this O line class, it's actually coming together pretty good.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: So she got Jalen Chapman already on board. He's an
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: interior player. Briceton Martinez we've talked about before from EA.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: He's a tackle and you're still after the Maryland monster.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Emmanuel Ianacho, who not exactly a small guy, six seven,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: three point fifty, He's going to be an interior player.
• 44:57
  Speaker 7: Like, if you can land all those guys, you.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Got four or five guys, do you really feel confident
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: about all in the same recruiting cycle.
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: Like credit to Brad Davis.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, more and more these elite offensive linemen. We saw
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: it last year, curious Kerrent, you flipped them from Arkansas
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: what a month and a half before signing day, and
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: then on signing day Solomon Thomas who was from Florida,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: he had been committed to Florida State for like a year,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: you flipped him on signing day. Like as good as
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: LSU's offensive lines have been, the sum's always been are
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: the hole has been greater than the sum of its parts.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: You're now landing elite guys under Brad Davis.
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, right now in this upcoming class.
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: You are second in the nation on on three dot
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: com team rankings, only USC right now ahead of you,
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: and that's because they have eighteen more guys committed than
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: you do. So that's why they have the number one spot.
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: Nobody has more five stars committed than you do. Only
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: Ohio State has the same amounts. So LSU right now
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: doing great things in this twenty twenty six cycle. We'll
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: see if it can continue, because, as we also talked
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: about during the break, you got to get to the
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: finish line.
• 46:03
  Speaker 6: That finish line.
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: Sometimes it feels like it is thirty miles away, but
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: you know here you are. You've got a great transfer
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: portal class. You've had top ten classes over the last
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: couple of years. You did finish with a lot of
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: the things that we talked about last year. We'll see
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: if they can hold on to all the players that
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: are here in this class. All right, when we come back,
