1:08
Speaker 7: I would not have guessed either. I mean not even
1:13
my top like three hundred guests.
1:14
Speaker 4: Now me, neither me, neither I would have thought something more.
1:17
Speaker 7: George Yes, super White, Porge yes, Tim Timothy, Tim.
1:25
Speaker 4: These are fair guesses. Very Elandra didn't have him in

1:34
Speaker 6: It's pretty good, Madonna.
1:39
Speaker 8: Na.
1:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna go with McLevin though, now that I've
1:42
heard that, we so we do have a very big
1:46
show planned.
1:47
Speaker 9: Uh.
1:48
Speaker 4: It is our first official show together. Although you know,
1:51
Matt and I have done a lot of radio together.
1:53
Matt's done some radio here. I don't want to say
1:55
a lot. There's a lot of Wednesdays we didn't know
1:57
where he was. He's here today. It is, as Tata said,
2:01
a new era here for OTV. We are fired up,
2:05
and look, we will get to the baseball game. We'll
2:07
get to the game tonight, but I do want to
2:10
lay out the show here kind of before we get rolling.
2:13
We're gonna have Jimbo Fisher, our former offensive coordinator of course,
2:17
head coach at Florida State, Texas A and m He's
2:20
going to join us at seven thirty.
2:23
Speaker 7: I cannot wait to talk to you.
2:26
Speaker 4: Oh really. So it was like when he was still
2:29
at Florida State.
2:30
Speaker 7: I remember it was post playing, I believe, and he
2:32
was like, Yeah, we need to get you down there
2:34
and talk some empty protections. Blah blah blah, I hadn't.
2:36
I never spoke to him after he went to A
2:38
and M. Oh, it's been a minute though, Okay, all.
2:42
Speaker 4: Right, Well I'm excited about that. See, I have caught
2:45
up with coach a bunch he hosts with us on
2:48
Tuesdays over on off campus throughout the entire football season.
2:51
And then when he was at A and M, I
2:52
had a chance to cover games and I sit there
2:55
and I talk with him, and you know, he tell
3:00
bad he'd tell bad stories about me. I tell him
3:03
how he made up six different cuss words and put
3:05
him together, and he was usually talking to you were JaMarcus,
3:08
And so I'm excited about that. We gave him seven
3:11
thirty because if you've ever listened to Jimbo talk, there's
3:14
no way in the world we could do close to
3:17
an end of an hour or a heartbreak. So he's
3:19
at seven thirty. We'll try to get out like by
3:22
seven forty nine to make sure we hit all of
3:24
our marks. We got aj Hawk joining us at eight o'clock.
3:28
Let's give Flynn around him flows he did his job
3:31
for the first time contribution because we did hanging with
3:35
hester for those years. I don't know, I really don't
3:39
remember how long that show was, but we did it
3:41
for a long time. And he brought one guest.
3:44
Speaker 7: No, uh yeah, you run Evan Mooreymore brought one guest
3:47
and a great guest.
3:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, talk to him all the time on other shows.
3:51
You brought one guest in two years. At least two
3:54
years we did that. So you're doing better A J.
3:57
Speaker 2: Hawk.
3:58
Speaker 7: I'm officially media guy now, so you are, like it
4:00
took it took me seven years to admit it.
4:03
Speaker 4: You are.
4:04

4:06
Speaker 4: Yes? Get in the press box, yes, Sam, right in
4:09

Speaker 6: He doesn't know it, or he doesn't know that we
4:41
have one t p S.
4:43
Speaker 5: That's web that's not you want to.
4:47
Speaker 4: So we have we have a website, Loising Sports dot net.
4:50
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I know.
4:52
Speaker 4: You see the truck out there when you park today?
4:54
Is that news? It is new.
4:56
Speaker 5: It's nice.
4:57
Speaker 4: So that that is our website. And you know we
4:59
cover Scene Eatson and LSU and website's ours. Yeah yeah, huh.
5:06
And you can us. You're gonna write an art for us,
5:09
write a column. You keep going back.
5:12
Speaker 5: To the column, a whole column.
5:13
Speaker 4: All right. Uh, We've got Baseball Hall of Famer Chipper
5:16
Jones joining us at nine am. And then, of course
5:20
it is Monday, so we've got Devin snow Hold the
5:23
Mayo joining us at nine point fifteen. No, this is
5:26
not a Dak Prescott jersey. This is a Jonathan Moxon jersey.
5:30
Do you think Dak Prescott won state championships in nineteen
5:34
eighty seven and eighty nine. Well Moxing didn't either, but
5:36
Bud Kilmer did.
5:37
Speaker 5: Like Kilmer, sure as heck did.
5:40
Speaker 4: So this was a look. I saved this for today
5:43
because if there's one thing that Flynn and I share together,
5:47
it is our love for varsity blues. Although, like I'm
5:50
probably gonna take it off at some point because Flynn
5:52
brought us nice new hoodies. Check this out.
5:54
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, this is limited edition, limited print, short print,
6:00
very short because Jacob changed the logo after it, but
6:04
straight this will be in the to be exhibit.
6:08
Speaker 4: There's nothing that says we can't use that logo as well. Yeah,
6:13
I think I think it's as we've learned here over
6:15
the last couple of weeks, like kind of know what
6:19
ever I want, you know, in a good way, like respectfully,
6:23
with all due respect. But we're still doing it.
6:26
Speaker 7: Well, we all got these hoodies now, so we need
6:28
to pick a day where we all wear.
6:29
Speaker 5: Them together like a uniform.
6:31
Speaker 4: Okay, are we going to roll in a media day
6:33
all wearing the same hoodie?
6:34
Speaker 5: There's no doubt about it.
6:36
Speaker 4: I actually I might have something, uh something on the
6:40
way too.
6:41
Speaker 5: I can't wait.
6:41
Speaker 4: Maybe what is it? Tell it's a surprise?
6:46
Speaker 5: All right?
6:46
Speaker 4: Well?
6:47
Speaker 5: Can I say something?
6:48
Speaker 4: Yeah?
6:49
Speaker 5: Can I say how fired up I am to be
6:51

6:52
Speaker 6: We would love for you to.
6:56
Speaker 7: Yeah, I gotta talk, you don't, Hey, look you don't
6:59
have to add Can I tell you something?
7:01
Speaker 4: Like three hours?
7:04
Speaker 5: So funny?
7:05
Speaker 7: Well, like someone I was taught that when somebody's speaking,
7:08
you don't interrupt them.
7:09
Speaker 4: Real quick, real quick. We're in a sales meeting for
7:12
the sales team to get to know friend sure and look,
7:15
and for all of us too, like you know, all
7:17
up to get back in front of each other. And
7:19
we've got a new show and we're excited about it,
7:21
going to sell it out and do the whole deal. Uh.
7:24
I forget who was talking. But and then Matt has
7:26
a question as a forty year old man, so to
7:28
be forty year old man, he raises his hand to
7:31
get called.
7:33
Speaker 5: It was more like it was more of like it
7:37
was full hand. It was a classroom desk.
7:41
Speaker 7: So are you trying to tell all the children out there?
7:43
When you become adults you can just be rude and
7:46
interrupt people.
7:47
Speaker 4: It was an open forum kind of meeting, like where everybody.

8:43
Speaker 7: So like, I came to the front door and I
8:44
tried to use my key and it wouldn't let me in.
8:46
Speaker 4: I had to go to the side door to let me.
8:48
Oh yeah, the front front door.
8:50
Speaker 5: I was like, well, this sucks.
8:52
Speaker 4: That doesn't open until eight.

8:57
I got here at like six twenty six, showed up early.
9:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you come in here, put my stuff down,
9:02
prep get ready.
9:03
Speaker 7: Yeah you know, Taylor was the only one here when
9:05
I got here, so shout out to you. But we
9:08
were talking about writing something. So when you kick off something,
9:11
we're kicking off a new show here, right, you like
9:14
to have a toast?
9:16
Speaker 4: Okay, So I wrote something.
9:18
Speaker 7: Okay, I wrote a toastground yea, yeah, yeah, background.
9:24
Speaker 4: What kind of background music do you want? Though, I
9:26
don't know, like survive. I mean I didn't write it.
9:28
You wrote the column.
9:29
Speaker 5: I mean it's real short, real short, and sweet toasting music.
9:32
Speaker 7: Toasting music. That's okay, Taylor. If you could just hum
9:39
a song in the background, that'd be great. You have
9:41
a hymnal going please Highway to Hell. Never mind on
9:44
the hymnal. All right, So everyone in the in the
9:50
studio here, if you're in your car at home super
9:54
early to work in at your office, just raise a glass,
9:56
raise a coffee cup, raise a coffee cup, raise it.
10:00
If you don't have something, just raise your hand up
10:02
and be respectful of Okay, yeah, all right, already, all right,
10:07
here's to you, here's to me. I'm so dang fired
10:11
up for the new o T B all right, first
10:15
Jordi and T Bob right and then T and Hester.
10:19
But it's our turn now, so let's freaking flester.
10:27
Speaker 4: It's actually really good. Absolutely, I'm a poet. Well done, hangover, Yes,
10:36
there's one.
10:37
Speaker 6: I was one in the wolf pack.
10:41
Speaker 8: After you said like you, Paul, You're like, all right,
10:44
I'm like's not it going.
10:49
Speaker 4: I know Flynn is going to be closer to that
10:52
movie than you think, and you will learn that over time.
10:55
What are you talking about, hangover?
10:58
Speaker 5: I'm a father and businessman.
11:00
Speaker 7: And a businessman and immediate column writer.
11:05
Speaker 4: I can't wait. If you've did you say a poem?
11:07
I I did? I did. If you're listening and you
11:10
work for Louising on sports dot net and which there
11:13
is many Flynn has put his services up.
11:17
Speaker 5: To write a column, I could even write poems.
11:19
Speaker 4: I think on your first column you should write because
11:22
if there's one thing that you know more than anything
11:25
in sports, it's not LSU. It is not the Green
11:28
Bay Packers. It is the nineteen ninety five Texas Rangers.
11:34
What you know more about them than you do teams
11:37
you've played on? And I mean that sincerely. What it's like,
11:40
It's like it's the only sports nugget that you know.
11:47
Speaker 7: I mean, so, look, so I don't know a lot
11:50
about like name stats, blah blah blah. I can tell
11:52
you mindsets. I can tell you what the players should
11:55
be feeding doing blah blah blah. I can talk the
11:58
heck out of some past protections. But now then I'm
12:01
a immediate. Guy, I'm gonna learn it. I'm gonna do it.
12:04
Speaker 4: But I like the never you got a point, You've
12:06
got this space in your brain for like one. Gonzales
12:09
and me and my dad used to every single Texas
12:15
Ranger game ground up, just like you with the Brakes,
12:17
with the Brads TBS.
12:20
Speaker 7: We need to ask Chipper does he really like does
12:22
he know like what kind of boost TBS gave his
12:27
probably like his career.
12:28
Speaker 4: It's actually a good question, like.
12:31
Speaker 7: Legit because it was sure like he was the only
12:33
person played probably coast to coast, right, the only team.
12:36
Speaker 4: Oh, I mean it was in the Cubs WGN. You
12:40
know they'd be on WGN. But what what the superstation
12:44
did for the Braves. No, it's it's a good point.
12:47
I mean all of those Braves during that that time
12:49
period were probably a little bit more famous because.
12:52
Speaker 5: Every a little bit they had been ton yeh.
12:56
Speaker 4: The entire Southeast with Brave fans. Rangers would have waxed
13:01
them though, yeah.
13:03
Speaker 7: Waxed them the range the other day like how they
13:05
not win like multiple worlds here?
13:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, I said, I said they were actually built for
13:10
uh slow pitch softball championships and not actual baseball championships
13:15
with the guys that they had. That's fair. Now, if
13:17
they put a bench press out there and said, dude,
13:19
two twenty five as many times as you can, that
13:22
Ranger squad, nobody's even compete.
13:24
Speaker 5: Skills competition, they would have dominated.
13:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, real baseball games, though not great.
13:30
Speaker 5: Not bad.
13:31
Speaker 4: Close.
13:32
Speaker 8: They're also pretty close to Dallas, so they're kind of
13:34
built to disappoint.
13:35
Speaker 5: Oh, for being honest, that's probably that's a fair point.
13:38
Speaker 7: I mean, legit, but they I feel like they when
13:41
I was they always lost first round to the.
13:43
Speaker 4: Yankees every year. Yep. They had the pitching.
13:47
Speaker 7: Kenny Rogers perfect game, A buddy, it was that that game. Anyway,
13:52
No one cares. That's listening.
13:54
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, they do talk about Rangers nineteen ninety five. Yeah,
13:57
there might be somebody, maybe somebody I bet George up
14:00
listening exactly should we get him on? Ye? Have you
14:06
met him? Yeah? I met him. I met him. Probably
14:09
listen and you did not get his digits?
14:11
Speaker 7: Do you think he's Probably he is probably listening. So
14:14
congrats listeners out there, you're listening with probably multiple former presidents.
14:19
Speaker 4: And on that note, all right, so obviously we're very excited.
14:23

to get a clock. We have a giant one right there,
17:54
and a Landra does a great job.
17:55
Speaker 5: Okay, get Gordon so amazing.
17:56
Speaker 4: We don't even need it, Like I just want to
17:59
blow yourself. No, you just said no, you have to
18:03
do that. You have to do that, just like we
18:05
got to talk about LSU baseball. Let's go. Last night,
18:09
they dropped the game ten to four too Little Rock. Now,
18:12
as we know, on Friday they get the victory over
18:15
Little Rock seven to nothing. On Saturday, a great game,
18:18
they take care of DBU twelve to nothing, and so
18:22
last night you're feeling good. I was like I was
18:24
in the number. The box was great, the box was ready,
18:28
like they wanted a big hit, a big moment, and
18:31
you could just feel it. And it was one of
18:32
those times that when you go there, you're just waiting
18:35
for the top to just blow off of that place,
18:38
right And unfortunately, as we all know, LSU just never
18:41
gave them that. They had the bases loaded a couple
18:44
of times, didn't do anything with it, and so you
18:47
fall to Little Rock ten to four last night. And
18:50
it was a late game. I mean I looked up
18:52
it was like in the fifth inning, top of the
18:55
fifth and it was like ten forty five, and we
18:57
had all the kids out there, and I knew that
18:59
I had work pretty soon. I was like, we got
19:02
to get out of here.
19:04
Speaker 6: Third inning was forever forever.
19:06
Speaker 3: Like I left the I left the stadium during the
19:11
bottom of the third inning, got home, took a shower,
19:14
and it was.
19:14
Speaker 6: Still the bottom of the third inning. When I got
19:16
in bed, I was like, what is happening?
19:19
Speaker 4: A lot of a lot of you know, mound visits,
19:21
a lot of walks, yeah, eleven to be exact. For
19:25
the LSU Tigers and Elandra, how many times have we
19:30
sat here over the last couple of months. And the
19:32
one thing now, I know the offense can go quiet
19:34
some but the one thing that we talked about you
19:38
couldn't do. You gotta fix, you can't have it was
19:40
the free passes by the pitching staff. And obviously the
19:45
first two games you hold them scoreless, you've done great.
19:48
But that is the one thing. And look else, she's
19:50
playing for their lives today or tonight. It's gonna be
19:53
another late game, eight pm Central time, first pitch. That's
19:57
the thing that can keep them out of a.
19:58
Speaker 3: Super regional and on I was telling you all this
20:01
before the game started. I feel like in that bottom
20:04
of the third inning, Jay kind of saw the riding
20:06
on the wall and that's why we didn't see Cowen
20:09
or Evans out there yesterday, and we're probably gonna see
20:12
him today. Maybe Evans gets to start. I don't know,
20:14
but yeah, I mean, you can't give up eleven walks,
20:18
and that's just I think it was a season high
20:21
that LSU has given up eleven walks.
20:23
Speaker 4: Now, like this isn't I'm not all the umpires. You
20:26
lost ten to four, Okay, you lost the game. The
20:29
zone was never identified by the homeplate umpire of what
20:32
it was going to be.
20:33
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't disagree with that at all.
20:35
Speaker 4: No, I mean, so that's all you have to do,
20:37
even if it's a big zone. You just got to
20:39
tell me what the zone is. Right.
20:40
Speaker 7: I watched a lot I had baseball like on all weekend,
20:44
like different games throughout the country. I felt like most
20:47
of the games I was watching, the strike zone was
20:49
super super tight. I don't know if it's been like
20:51
that like all season, because I'm not gonna sit here
20:53
in this chair and pretend like I've been like the
20:54
biggest baseball guy, right, but we're watching Yeah, but I
20:57
do know the mindset of athletes, and I do know,
20:59
like from a thrower's perspective, like what can really happen
21:04
when stuff isn't going your way? And sometimes things snowball,
21:09
like when you're a quarterback and you're you're out there throwing,
21:11
like sometimes like the wide open guy is the hardest
21:14
person to hit because like it's a throw you're supposed
21:15
to be, yeah, and you start.
21:17
Speaker 5: To aim it.
21:18
Speaker 7: Sometimes when you throw a bunch of incomplete passes or
21:20
in or something like, your confidence goes down and you
21:22
try to guide the ball, you try to push it,
21:24
like you try to make things happen instead of just
21:26
like reacting, competing and letting the body and your practice
21:29
take over. It's the same thing on any type of thrower, kicker, swinger.
21:34
So you're pitching and things aren't going your way, you
21:36
have to have some sort of reset.
21:40
Speaker 5: But sometimes you're just you're just chasing out there, right, so.
21:44
Speaker 7: You get a couple walks, even if it wasn't you,
21:46
Even if you're in the bullpen and you know that
21:49
your guys in front of you have eight walks so far,
21:52
it's like, all right, I'm going to the mound.
21:54
Speaker 4: Do not walk. Do not walk.
21:56
Speaker 7: You never want to have that mindset right. It's like
21:58
going as a quarterback going to say, do not throw
22:01
an interception like that is a terrible way to play sports,
22:04
and that mindset translates to any sport really, so hit reset.
22:09
Yeah you got for some reason, they're playing at eight
22:12
pm tonight, so what are we doing? So like you
22:16
got hours, Like, so get your mind right, get the
22:18
confidence up, do something like it's this is where the
22:22
mindset of a championship caliber team is supposed to make
22:29
the difference between a you know, a mediocre team. Yeah,
22:32
so obviously we're not mediocre, but like it says, this
22:35
is where you you got to reset.
22:36
Speaker 5: You got to come out and be.
22:37
Speaker 4: Confident and you can't allow like I saw it in
22:40
Gosh every like anybody that covers college baseball, like on Instagram,
22:44
like shocking college baseball, You're not gonna believe what happens,
22:47
Like what And then like I'd get in the comments
22:49
and be like this is like a sixteen beating one.
22:52
I'm like, no, it's not baseball.
22:55
Speaker 6: I mean number team in the country.
22:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, four four seeds one on opening day.
23:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's baseball. And the thing about baseball is
23:08
you got a chance to come right back. It's not
23:10
like football. It's not like Damn, I gotta wait till
23:13
next Sunday. Are you kidding me? No, Let's you get
23:15
the opportunity right now. And I think having Evans and
23:20
Cowen and where you're not gonna find, like there's a
23:24
lot of teams playing today right to go to super Regional,
23:26
you're not going to find many that have those three
23:28
arms available for them today.
23:31
Speaker 5: Right.
23:31
Speaker 4: Certainly the two in Evanson.
23:32
Speaker 3: Cowen right and Little Rock has played a lot of games,
23:35
yeah for sure, and they won't be yeah game.
23:40
Speaker 4: They scored forty runs in the last three days.
23:43
Speaker 6: That was crazy. To ten over Rhode Island. That was crazy.
23:47
Speaker 5: You're gonna have the pigeon advantage.
23:48
Speaker 8: My bigger concern was the fourth and fifth starters for
23:52
this team held you to four runs yesterday.
23:54
Speaker 4: That was that's not that because the speeds and and
23:58
that's we've seen that so many times now. You got
24:00
to adjust to it. It's gonna be the same today.
24:02
It's Dallas bad.
24:03
Speaker 8: This unfortunately has been the outlier for this team, not
24:06
the four runs against Little Rock.
24:07
Speaker 5: But you know, I was looking at the box.
24:09
Speaker 8: Score a little bit last night before the game. Uh,
24:12
and then this morning obviously after the game finished. Stephen
24:16
Mylam is six for eight with four RBS and four
24:19
runs scored in this regional. Like, that's a guy that
24:22
we had talked about, like, oh, you're going to get
24:24
it from Kuriel, You're hopefully going to get it from Dickens.
24:27
Speaker 6: And you can stop up to Stephen.
24:29
Speaker 8: Mylam Like Stephen Mylum six for eight, four RB i
24:31
s in the in this regional so far, that's a
24:33
guy you have to have.
24:34
Speaker 5: Like, I get it.
24:35
Speaker 8: You're pitching one and grade last night, the hitting one grade,
24:37
but like mya has been a bright spot.
24:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt about it. And look, we're gonna continue
24:41
talking baseball. If we don't have a guess, it's gonna
24:44
probably be L s U baseball today and we're gonna
24:47
break down. That's that's fair, that's teasing.
24:52
Speaker 7: Yeah, you say, there's one pretty simple key to it,
24:54
all right, and we'll get to that later.
24:55
Speaker 4: But when we come back, we're going to be joined
24:58

26:20
How you doing?
26:21
Speaker 9: What's up? Guys?
26:22
Speaker 4: Can you believe that I got Matthew Clayton Flynn up
26:26
before seven am?
26:28
Speaker 9: It's umbelid, That's what I said.
26:29
Speaker 2: I was worried. You said you had that early show.
26:31
I said, is he going to show up halfway through?
26:32
Speaker 9: Or what's to do?
26:33
Speaker 2: I was.
26:33
Speaker 7: I was an extremely accomplished sleeper in college. I think
26:36
when there's one time I slept about fifteen straight hours.
26:39
Speaker 5: Uh, Jack Richie couldn't even track it.
26:42
Speaker 9: I remember it was funny. I remember that he's say
26:45
used to sleep all the time. That's why I was.
26:48
I did that to ask for he was laughing at me.
26:49
Speaker 5: Never in meetings though. No, it was.
26:52
Speaker 2: Time when it was time to go now right, there's
26:54
no doubt about that.
26:55
Speaker 9: There's no doubt about that coach.
26:57
Speaker 4: We were talking last week with Flynn before he's are
27:00
to I think I got to ask you the question,
27:02
how did you recruit an honorable mention? All district quarterback
27:07
in the in the district that only had four teams,
27:09
and the guy was honorable mention.
27:11
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you one of the funniest stories you're
27:13
ever going to hear. This is honest, God's truth. We
27:17
go and his this is how because Matt, Matt's one
27:20
of the most accomplished I mean a guy that who
27:24
he did.
27:24
Speaker 9: What he did in high school really impressed me because.
27:27
Speaker 2: If I'm not right, Matt, but your junior year you
27:29
spent time with another.
27:31
Speaker 7: Guy I did halfway through your junior year to halfway
27:37
through your junior year.
27:38
Speaker 9: After got six games, he made the decision.
27:40
Speaker 2: The kid was a great athlete because you had had
27:42
a bunch of schools come to you and say, hey,
27:43
transfer here, you don't have to put up with it,
27:45
and you got mad with all your other sports, said nope,
27:48
I'm gonna be the starting quarterback and went and won
27:51
the job.
27:52
Speaker 9: So he only played a little bit. So we we
27:55
did a.
27:56
Speaker 2: Great We searched and searched, and so I'm watching all
27:58
this film and they put this film in front of me.
28:01
I remember I got the film and I watched and
28:03
I said, I really liked it, and they said, well, Jim,
28:05
this guy he hain't hardly ever played the only started
28:08
sixt game. We need to slow down. I said, well,
28:11
there's a that's at the time when those combines the coaches.
28:15
Speaker 9: Could go to them. And there was a combine at
28:18
A and M.
28:19
Speaker 2: And Derrek Duley had that part of Houston and that there,
28:23
and there was a combine at A and M.
28:25
Speaker 9: And so Matt was going to be at that Nike combine.
28:29
I think it was not. I believe it, am I right, Matt,
28:32
that's right, all right.
28:33
Speaker 2: So we get back and I said, this guy's under
28:35
the radar, Derk, but go why this he runs? Well,
28:37
he's athletic days they don't throw it a lot because
28:40
your coach, I remember, he was.
28:41
Speaker 7: From Louisiana, two lane offensive lineman.
28:45
Speaker 9: Yep, and that's what he wanted to do, run the football.
28:49
Speaker 2: And y'all had to end up having a great team
28:50
because y'all flipped around and won a couple of state
28:52
championships after that. But anyway, so that so I said,
28:55
just go look at this guy. I just want to
28:57
This is a guy that made sneak under the radar
28:59
that just we could get in on. I when we
29:00
were on everybody in the country. But I said, I
29:02
like this guy as well as anybody. So Derek, Derek's
29:06
a young coach. Derek goes to the combine and and
29:10
Derek used to come up with some of the craziest
29:12
reasons to like a guy or not like a guy.
29:15
And so he comes back and he said, you know,
29:17
well he you know, he's not overly tall.
29:19
Speaker 9: He was about six to one at that time.
29:21
Speaker 2: I right, Mattes, that sounds and so he said he's
29:24
not really you know, but he said he moved pretty well.
29:27
But he said this is this now, he said, Jim,
29:29
but I just didn't like him, and he said.
29:30
Speaker 9: He got he had fat ankles. He said he had
29:34
fat ankle.
29:35
Speaker 2: We all, you know, most of your athletes have skinny ankles,
29:38
you know what I mean.
29:38
Speaker 9: He said he had fat ankles, and he was okay,
29:41
but just I said, this kind of downplayed him. And
29:44
I said, dang, that's not what you know.
29:46
Speaker 2: I said, oh, you know, of course, I said, okay, Derek,
29:48
you were there, you saw him in person. So this
29:51
was probably around March February or March, and I said,
29:56
you know, that just doesn't sound I mean, I didn't
29:58
match that. You know, later on I was you know,
30:01
I get so thorough on things. Our check, recheck, rewatch
30:04
film and go watch. I watch a player ten times
30:06
because sometimes you're in the wrong moved you get a
30:08
different impression of a guy, you know what I mean.
30:10
Or if you had something on your mind, you'll watch
30:11
a guy sometimes you evaluate or so I try to
30:14
do it multiple times to be very thorough. So I
30:17
go back and I watch the film and I said,
30:19
what Derek said don't match up with this film.
30:22
Speaker 9: I said, I love this guy. I said, there's something
30:24
about this guy.
30:25
Speaker 2: So of course then you couldn't get nick if you
30:28
went something when you went with him, if you didn't
30:30
have your is dotted and teased crawl and you took
30:32
him recruiting okay, and he went in. He was only
30:35
going in for the kill, you know what I mean.
30:37
Back then, he was going in to see the school
30:39
bang bang bang bang bang. So I got to find
30:41
a way to get him to go by this school
30:44
without knowing that it's somebody we don't like. If I
30:48
bring up in the meeting, Dary's gonna say jam about
30:50
I saw that guy and he had fat angle that conversation.
30:55
Speaker 9: Okay, so I can't.
30:57
Speaker 2: Remember how we did it, but there was another guy
30:59
in that area that was getting crew died.
31:00
Speaker 9: And I said, and we're out there.
31:01
Speaker 2: And I think Kirk Dahl was with us at the
31:03
time too, because he had the area and.
31:06
Speaker 9: The position guys.
31:07
Speaker 2: So I said, so somehow I get us to I said, Kurt,
31:09
we got to go by this school. So we go by,
31:11
and we go by Tyler, not John Tyler, because John
31:15
Tyler at that time was the school that was Earl
31:17
Campbell went to school, and then Aaron.
31:18
Speaker 9: And Ross and all those guys, and.
31:22
Speaker 2: Your district was the number one district in the state
31:24
of Texas. He had loved and John Tyler, y'all and
31:27
I who else long View, I mean, everybody whoever won
31:32
the state championship all come out of that deal.
31:34
Speaker 9: Y'all had won like two. Y'all were the lesser school.
31:39
Speaker 5: That time.
31:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, I remember that. And so we go by
31:44
and and and we went in and talked to the
31:46
coach and the next looking side eyed at me. And
31:49
sometime back then I was the only one that could
31:51
say something.
31:51
Speaker 9: I used to mean.
31:52
Speaker 2: We we battled it, and I would stand up to
31:54
him every now, and it'd been in a good way.
31:55
Nick was so thorough. I don't mean that in a
31:57
bad way. So he goes, okay, I'll go watch this guy.
32:00
Speaker 9: We go in there.
32:00
Speaker 2: We talked to the coach and he said, and I said,
32:02
you know, but y'all didn't throw it a lot, so
32:04
it's hard to judge you. So I'll tell you what
32:05
I'll throw it today. You don't had a scrimmage. I
32:08
don't know if you remember this or not. We're there
32:11
in the spring. So we come in and y'all scrimmage
32:14
that day and y'all threw like twenty five passes. He
32:16
threw like twenty five passes, and the scrimmage bang bang bang,
32:21
Matt completes like twenty four of them. Yeah, he's running
32:24
around making plays and he's throwing the ball all over.
32:27
Speaker 9: And you know, Nick come over to me. He looked
32:28
at me.
32:29
Speaker 2: He says, youmo, this guy's a really good But I said,
32:32
I told you he's a really good player.
32:34
Speaker 9: He said, why didn't we do that?
32:35
Speaker 2: I said, because Derek said he had fat and he
32:38
didn't look bad at he did. You know, he wasn't
32:41
nothing special. And I'll never forget this. I'll never forget this.
32:45
He says, Get Derek on the phone. He told me,
32:48
he said, get Derek on the phone. We're stand there
32:50
watching the scrimmage. So I called Derek up. I said, hey,
32:52
Nick wants to talk to you. Nick grabbed the phone.
32:55
He said, hey, Derek, don't you ever recruit or nothing.
32:57
Don't you ever evaluate another corter. This guy looks like
33:00
on the United is running around here.
33:02
Speaker 9: He showed every ball crazy. He looking good, Derek Golton.
33:06
I get the phone back and I'm laughing like crazy.
33:08
You know how to Yeah, you get the phone back
33:11
and I'm laughing like crazy. I'm laughing like I said.
33:15
Fat Akos Huh said he wasn't a girl.
33:18
Speaker 2: Derek was laughing like crazy, and so we that we
33:25
still he can't do then there and then Matt came
33:28
to camp that summer and lit it up, and we
33:30
offered him. Matter of fact, I mean we that was
33:32
a really good recruiting year that year quarterback, I said,
33:34
but I love Mathma and he committed. He was the
33:36
first one that committed that Yearhen we signed him and
33:37
JaMarcus and but it was and he played his tail
33:40
off and no matter what, and I knew he was
33:42
gonna be a great just I don't just evaluation.
33:44
Speaker 9: We saw it.
33:45
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to say we saw everything in the world,
33:47
but he did it on film. He just didn't have
33:49
a lot of opportunities in your senior year. I remember
33:51
the tragic story to you all season, y'all had one
33:53
of the best years you ever had, and you're on
33:55
the state semi finals. Yeah, all drive in a two
33:59
minute drive. I don't know who you were playing. You're
34:01
down around the ten yard line, ten fifteen yard line,
34:03
you walk, you're going in the score and win the game.
34:06
And you walked up to make a check and your
34:08
center snapped the ball about thirty yards backers like che
34:12
am I right around.
34:13
Speaker 4: I hope he's not listening right now. I hope he is.
34:15
Speaker 5: What doing is good?
34:16
Speaker 4: The ball? The quarterback?
34:17
Speaker 9: No, I know not. I mean I said it happened
34:19
to our guys.
34:20
Speaker 2: You were making a check and not a lot of
34:21
people did all the shotgun y'all, And that was a
34:23
little new for y'all too, I mean for doing. And
34:25
then because y'a were going in to win, to go
34:27
into the state championship and you lost it, and then
34:29
After that, your team won a couple of state championships
34:31
and became a great team.
34:32
Speaker 9: But Matt started that whole trend, and.
34:34
Speaker 2: This thing about it was amazing to me though you
34:36
only you split time as at junior and then only
34:39
played half the time, and he had the great scene.
34:40
Then everybody started recruiting after the senior year, of course,
34:43
and he stuck with us and the rest is history.
34:46
But it was to me it was a testament to
34:48
who you were as a person. That's the kind of
34:49
guy you wanted to play quarterback. Every time a guy
34:51
got tested or challenged, he wasn't going to back down.
34:54
And you know, I'll say that both y'all were like that.
34:57
I know why y'all are friends. In my opinion, you're
35:00
very similar people because you both weren't high, high recruited
35:04
guys earlier in your careers. You weren't the five star guys.
35:07
You turned out to be five star guys the way
35:09
you played, the way you think, and and somebody asked
35:11
me that not too long ago, and I said, you know,
35:13
the one thing about those LSU teams, we recruited really well.
35:15
Speaker 9: There had a lot of five star guys, but.
35:18
Speaker 2: We so many of our great players weren't the highly
35:22
rated guys that turned out to be just as good
35:24
or better than the five star guys and developed yourself.
35:27
You two, Corey, Webster, Blue Gay, I mean, Travis Daniels.
35:32
There was guys on those teams. I can go on
35:34
and on and on that were not highly recruited guys
35:37
that turned out to play in the NFL a long time.
35:39
And we're great player, great players in college and great
35:41
pros that also fit in with those guys. And we're
35:44
even tougher and you know, and we had a mentality
35:47
on that team, and you guys were the key to
35:49
a big part of that.
35:51
Speaker 4: To that point.
35:52
Speaker 7: Jimbo the you talked about instincts and recruiting back when
35:57
when Jake and I were coming out this day in
36:00
age in college football, he was.
36:01
Speaker 2: Playing nose guard when I went wat tractic.
36:03
Speaker 5: He's a little fat boy.
36:06
Speaker 7: Do you think like this day in age in college football,
36:08
is there less instincts in recruiting because there's so many
36:12
different services you got to recruit. You got to recruit
36:14
the players that are on your roster, and you're recruiting
36:16
other people in other colleges.
36:17
Speaker 5: Plus high school is it well.
36:19
Speaker 9: When here when here's the other thing about it. As
36:22
soon as you get one and.
36:24
Speaker 2: He starts to play now and and they and they,
36:26
if they don't go to a major school, they're going
36:29
to get I gues said, everybody else is a juco
36:31
for everybody. You're gonna go get bought and taken away
36:33
from that school. The guys that do go do a
36:35
great job of that. And it's it's it's hard to
36:37
hold on to it. And I tell you what's happened today.
36:40
Guys are picking guys and they're trying to buy guys.
36:43
I mean I say by guys as a term because
36:46
it's about the money instead of all the time and
36:48
effort that goes into evaluating that process and recruiting that.
36:52
Speaker 9: Guy with the relationship. You know what I mean.
36:55
Speaker 2: It is it's definitely changed, and it's a it's a
36:58
I mean far as that part of it, it's a shame.
37:00
And you know, and some of those that's why I
37:02
pity some of these other schools. And I even say this,
37:04
if you're not in the SEC or Big ten. Now
37:07
maybe Clemson, Florida State, some of these other you know,
37:10
there may be a Big twelve team or two in there,
37:12
but everybody else is a juco to SEC and Big
37:15
ten teams because they got all the money and they
37:19
can go select and pick those guys and take them
37:21
away once they do evaluate them and get them in
37:23
that process. But I do think a little bit of
37:25
that has left, in my opinion, college football, and guys
37:28
are going around not spending as much time building relationships
37:31
as they are saying, well, here's four hundred and five
37:33
hundred whatever the value. That's just the nature of the beast.
37:36
The whole world's changed. And it's a shame, it really is,
37:39
because I used to love that part of it. I
37:42
mean a lot of those guys happen to be guys
37:44
that I recruited, Randall and Corey Webster, and the Corey
37:47
Webster story is crazy. I don't know if you ever
37:49
heard that one. I was sitting there one time. I
37:51
was sitting there watching We've been There. It was January.
37:53
We just goten there in December to get the job.
37:56
And I'm sitting there watching the film and Nick said,
37:58
there's a receiver down in Saint John. I don't remember
38:02
who it was, and he says, the really.
38:04
Speaker 9: Good player watch this film. So I'm in there watching it.
38:07
Speaker 2: Somebody walked in in the staff room and off of
38:10
the staff room and talked to him, and I took
38:11
my friend because when the other team was on offense,
38:12
I would hit the fast forward button to go watch
38:14
this player, because you're watching so many and I took
38:16
my finger off the button and I'm sitting there and.
38:24
Speaker 9: Somebody said something.
38:25
Speaker 2: So I wanted to look, and I went to hit
38:26
the button and I missed it and the fast forward button.
38:29
Speaker 9: As I did.
38:30
Speaker 2: Corey ran around the corner for about fifteen yards, just
38:32
on a run. But he made two guys miss and
38:34
looked just really fluid, and I said, dang. So I
38:37
started watching it. Get down with the film. Nick says, hey,
38:40
how's that receiver. I said, he's a good player. I said,
38:42
there's a quarterback down here to Saint James.
38:44
Speaker 9: It's a heck. He said, what do you know about him?
38:45
I said, I don't know.
38:47
Speaker 2: I said, I never heard of him. Said we'll call
38:48
down there. So I called down there and I said,
38:51
they said, yeah, Corey Webster is a great player. I
38:53
said he's got one offer and I said really, I said, man,
38:55
he looked a lot better than that on film. He said,
38:57
he's going to Southern miss I said, Dad gone, So
39:00
I said, well is there?
39:01
Speaker 9: I said, does he not have enough up?
39:02
Speaker 4: Well?
39:02
Speaker 9: Maybe great? You know, I mean that guy didn't have grades.
39:04
Does he not have grades? Now? I said, has he
39:06
been in? And then he said, now he's got you know,
39:07
he's got grades. I says, he is?
39:09
Speaker 2: He a troubled guys he get in trouble. You know,
39:11
maybe he's been in trouble and people don't character you
39:13
know all the is I went through it.
39:14
Speaker 9: I want to say, what the hell he said?
39:15
Speaker 4: I don't know?
39:16
Speaker 2: So I told her he So we go down there
39:18
and start recruiting him. And that was two weeks before
39:20
signing guys.
39:21
Speaker 9: Yeah, and signed Wow and signed him.
39:23
Speaker 2: I mean when he came at two time all Americans
39:26
played thirteen years in the leg or fourteen years and
39:29
two through three Pro.
39:29
Speaker 9: Bowls and Super super Bowls.
39:31
Speaker 2: I mean, we that's the way Randall gay, I mean,
39:33
all those guys are recruited like it was crazy.
39:35
Speaker 9: You could find guys like that. I don't know if
39:36
it's like that.
39:37
Speaker 4: Coach, Yeah, want to ask you that we got about
39:39
three minutes left. I wanted to ask you, can you
39:41
recruit that guy anymore, like do I get an offer?
39:44
Does Flynn get an offer from an LSU, from a
39:46
Florida State, from a Texas A and M. Because it
39:49
almost feels like you can't stand up on top of
39:51
the table and fight for that two star, that three
39:54
star guy, because now that the first to somebody else.
39:59
Speaker 2: I I think it got back to the coach in
40:01
Florida State had over half of our first round picks
40:05
were three starring down guys right during my time at
40:08
Florida said many great players we recruited when I was there,
40:10
half of them.
40:10
Speaker 9: Were three star guys.
40:11
Speaker 2: Then we developed guys and small guys that we thought
40:14
fit in our system and did that. We never recruited
40:16
by the stars. And I think you can if the
40:19
coach is strong enough and in his own mind to
40:22
do it. And because it's all gonna get back to
40:24
one thing. That's a guy can't produce and does he
40:26
develop on the field, you know what I mean? The
40:27
development parts the other thing. We're a guy in needs
40:29
development and he starts to get passed up a little bit,
40:33
you know what I mean? And you're going to miss
40:35
guys too, I mean coaches, we knows a lot of
40:36
guys I missed too. I mean, I'm talking about success stories.
40:39
But beyond Warner was one for us at Floridas, there
40:41
was a bunch of them, Xavier Roads. Then we're all
40:43
three starring guys in that we're all first round picks.
40:45
Speaker 9: There's a lot more of them.
40:46
Speaker 2: But to me, it depends on the program and the
40:49
coach and how much he believes in his own own system.
40:53
Speaker 4: Coach, we could sit here and actually we're gonna ask
40:57
that you come back on like later on. This is
40:59
our first show together, so we certainly wanted to have
41:01
you on. You know, obviously our relationship with you, like,
41:04
I want to have you back on here pretty soon
41:07
to tell the story about around the Horn, how you
41:09
saw it. We ran it in the Superdome, we ran
41:11
it at LSU, and JaMarcus didn't throw the football like,
41:15
oh god, oh god, was it wide open? Women?
41:18
Speaker 9: It was wide open?
41:19
Speaker 4: It was wide over. Coach, you truly are the best man.
41:22
You did so much for me, for Matt in our careers.
41:24
You played us and put us in positions when a
41:27
lot of other people probably wouldn't. So I can't thank
41:30
you enough. I enjoyed doing radio with the Over on
41:32
serious XM every Tuesday there in football season. That was
41:35
a lot of fun.
41:36
Speaker 7: And I just want to say that I would never
41:39
have been an LSU Tiger without Jimbo Fisher.
41:41
Speaker 5: Yeah like that, y'all's.
41:42
Speaker 7: Coaching stuff, Like coaches have a huge impact on individual people,
41:45
but that whole coaching stuff, the impact you had on
41:47
Louisiana because you turned a program that was not great
41:51
into one of the biggest powerhouses in the country. What
41:53
a special staff, special time that was for LSU fans
41:57
and the economic the boost that the state and the
42:00
pride factor, like you were a part of something big
42:03
and you were one of the big, big reasons for that.
42:06
And we love you and we thank you, and yeah,
42:08
we we just appreciate the time this morning.
42:10
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Well, what's.
42:11
Speaker 9: The same here, guys.
42:12
Speaker 2: Like I said, you guys, I respect you guys as
42:13
much as any players I've ever coached.
42:15
Speaker 9: And I mean that because I mean what you guys
42:17
did and what you went about your business, how good
42:18
you were. It's mutual here.
42:19
Speaker 2: And it was a special time when when that thing
42:22
flipped and we started winning, were the state Louisiana boomed
42:24
off and it was as fun time as I've always
42:27
consider myself a Louisian. I always liked the people and
42:30
the people there, and it was it was such a
42:32
great place, and you guys were a huge part of it.
42:34
And my favorite guys is as good as I've ever coached.
42:36
I mean that too, And I know this sound. I
42:38
don't mean to get sentimental on all that craziness, but
42:40
it was a fun time in your life as you
42:42
look back, and were fortunate to have you guys.
42:44
Speaker 9: That's for that.
42:45
Speaker 5: Thanks for giving us coach ankle is a chance.
42:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, we appreciated coaching.
42:51
Speaker 9: Bad ankles.
42:52
Speaker 4: All right, coach, have a good morning.
42:54
Speaker 9: Coach. You two guys, great to be with you.
42:56
Speaker 4: You as well. There he is Jimbo Fisher, our offensive
42:59
coordinator when we were here at LSU. Of course, win
43:01
a national championship at Florida State and let's take a break.
43:06

43:10

44:52
an incredible recruiting story with Flynn, uh with Cweb like
44:57

45:03
right the right play.
45:05

45:07
