- 1:43Speaker 5: I came in on the end of it last year, certainly, yeah,
- 1:46Speaker 5: Liverpool under.
- 1:47Speaker 3: Last year, Yeah, national championship.
- 1:50Speaker 5: I mean, try to prove it wasn't because of me.
- 1:53Speaker 5: Can't no way you can do it, no way to
- 1:55Speaker 5: legitimately prove that. Why do you think we went from
- 1:57Speaker 5: number seven to number six. It was your baseball takes. Yeah, seriously,
- 2:01Speaker 5: voting stopped at the end of June. Probably this guy's incredible.
- 2:06Speaker 3: Yeah, I got to move him up at least one spot.
- 2:09Speaker 5: He just asked the head coach for the Elsie Tigers
- 2:12Speaker 5: before the World World Series if what his favorite.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Baseball movie was. Yep, bid you. I don't know.
- 2:19Speaker 4: Probably sounds like something I would ask. It's not coming
- 2:22Speaker 4: to down have to play Coastal Carolina. Hey, coach, what's
- 2:24Speaker 4: your favorite baseball man?
- 2:25Speaker 3: Yeah? You had to say, how do you hold a
- 2:28Speaker 3: four seam fastball? By the seams?
- 2:33Speaker 2: Grab for them.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Again.
- 2:38Speaker 4: I've talked with Jay about this like he's he's seriously,
- 2:42Speaker 4: we can go take VP over there. Okay, well, let's
- 2:44Speaker 4: go today. Might need a little bit more time instead
- 2:47Speaker 4: to see how serious he is. He Probably it's probably
- 2:50Speaker 4: more of an all season thing. He probably does want
- 2:51Speaker 4: us on the field. I mean, we could be in
- 2:54Speaker 4: the cage or what not.
- 2:54Speaker 5: Metal Technically they haven't played yet, so we're technically still.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Okay in the off season.
- 2:59Speaker 6: Okay a man of technicalities.
- 3:02Speaker 7: Yeah, have Case and Evans just throwing heat out us fun.
- 3:05Speaker 7: Actually I would miss every single one of them.
- 3:08Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I'm taking taking the pitch hit me.
- 3:12Speaker 4: Okay, So I don't know out of fifty pitches if
- 3:16Speaker 4: we're getting the battle of the ball. Because when we
- 3:20Speaker 4: went to Nashville and Chris embarrassed himself, that machine was
- 3:26Speaker 4: on ninety five, but it was coming.
- 3:28Speaker 3: It was ninety five straight.
- 3:30Speaker 6: Yeah, every pitch was the same.
- 3:31Speaker 3: Yeah, for the most part.
- 3:33Speaker 4: I mean, you have a little bit of movement, a
- 3:34Speaker 4: little bit near from a machine. And look, we got
- 3:38Speaker 4: bat on ball for sure, except Chris Doring, who did
- 3:41Speaker 4: not and said he was All state baseball player. Gotta
- 3:44Speaker 4: see the would be about not hit five of ten
- 3:49Speaker 4: or five of nine something crazy. T Bob even hit one.
- 3:53Speaker 4: And if you've ever seen T Bob playing the celebrity
- 3:56Speaker 4: softball match, yeah, imagine our surprise and Doring.
- 3:59Speaker 3: Didn't hit one.
- 4:00Speaker 7: Bring that backt the like Jack needs to bring back
- 4:03Speaker 7: the celebrity softball.
- 4:04Speaker 3: Things what he used to call it, celebrity sort of celebrity.
- 4:08Speaker 8: And tm O TV needs to be on a team.
- 4:10Speaker 3: Oh, I'd love that. Last time we played. I was
- 4:14Speaker 3: never like me and banking that beat this guy you've
- 4:17Speaker 3: played before.
- 4:18Speaker 2: I played it at one time, but.
- 4:19Speaker 4: I played like four man three or four, three or
- 4:23Speaker 4: four because one of the ones that we played in, uh,
- 4:26Speaker 4: coach Miles and Betterina played in it. And I remember
- 4:29Speaker 4: Beth calling T, Bob and Jordie out for not having
- 4:34Speaker 4: a softball presence on o TV because you know, we
- 4:38Speaker 4: used to have her on on nighttime radio. And I
- 4:41Speaker 4: was right there and she called him out, and you know,
- 4:43Speaker 4: T like he didn't know what to do.
- 4:45Speaker 8: He started bumbling probably I don't know.
- 4:49Speaker 4: He did not know what to do, and uh she
- 4:51Speaker 4: called him out right there in the handshake line. So
- 4:54Speaker 4: I definitely remember that. But it's a lot of fun.
- 4:56Speaker 4: We do need to bring that back. I think a
- 5:01Speaker 4: lot of moving parts, different people.
- 5:03Speaker 8: It's not easy to just make a softball tournament.
- 5:06Speaker 3: But like something like a golf tournament, which I don't
- 5:09Speaker 3: play golf.
- 5:10Speaker 8: So yeah, we would get a concert.
- 5:12Speaker 3: Yeah, we went took VP over there before that turn
- 5:14Speaker 3: with Bain. Oh we did. Yeah.
- 5:16Speaker 4: Yeah, Well we went into yeah the L s U
- 5:21Speaker 4: Tiger Baseball facility and we took some hacks.
- 5:23Speaker 3: Yeah three.
- 5:24Speaker 9: Oh.
- 5:24Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 5:24Speaker 4: It wasn't like a team thing. It's just us three
- 5:26Speaker 4: because we didn't want to embarrass ourselves.
- 5:28Speaker 5: We should said about home run Derby at Stadium at
- 5:32Speaker 5: the box.
- 5:32Speaker 8: Yeah, what about Tiger Park?
- 5:35Speaker 3: Yeah, start, there's going to be the participants.
- 5:40Speaker 7: I don't know, we can figure it out the whole
- 5:42Speaker 7: one of four five ESPN staff.
- 5:45Speaker 4: Again, I've been I didn't have a combine for the
- 5:48Speaker 4: staff for a long time.
- 5:50Speaker 8: Moich Of, you would separate very quickly.
- 5:52Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I.
- 5:53Speaker 5: Think that a combine sounds great, But I think that
- 5:58Speaker 5: just sounds like pulled hamstrings to me.
- 6:01Speaker 10: Early on too, Like you pull hammy first event, you
- 6:04Speaker 10: can't participate the rest.
- 6:08Speaker 2: We can hand hammys.
- 6:10Speaker 6: We can bro This is the second time this week.
- 6:13Speaker 2: And I say that because my Hammings are going I'm pulling.
- 6:18Speaker 3: Three of the.
- 6:21Speaker 4: Teams would be US four and then you would have Hunt, Jordans, Cassie,
- 6:27Speaker 4: so he would need a fourth. I don't know, maybe
- 6:30Speaker 4: Colin Jeters since he comes on his show that's his
- 6:33Speaker 4: fourth Live at Lunch, would have Jimmy, Hanny, Max Max,
- 6:39Speaker 4: and then we'll throw Dixon to them.
- 6:40Speaker 3: Dig Dixon. You can hit a base, that'd be good,
- 6:43Speaker 3: and then a f R. You'd have Matt Paul.
- 6:46Speaker 4: Matt no be an unfair advantage, okay, I mean because
- 6:52Speaker 4: he's still got that's true.
- 6:56Speaker 8: You're right then.
- 6:59Speaker 3: Obviously that Paul o' neil did.
- 7:03Speaker 6: Yeah, you're right.
- 7:04Speaker 8: I don't think Terryo will pull enough way for the
- 7:06Speaker 8: rest of them.
- 7:06Speaker 2: I think on paper, the matchups are tightening up a
- 7:08Speaker 2: little bit.
- 7:09Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
- 7:10Speaker 4: Like, I think Terro like as good as he is,
- 7:12Speaker 4: and he'd be the best of all of us by
- 7:14Speaker 4: far right right, he'd have to carry some weight.
- 7:17Speaker 5: I mean, I'm liking this, and let's not ask about
- 7:26Speaker 5: the series coming up. Let's just ask them about how
- 7:28Speaker 5: we can get this, how we can get this done,
- 7:31Speaker 5: and when? When can we go ahead and reserve the.
- 7:33Speaker 6: Mountains renting the field out.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Sunday evening after coach?
- 7:44Speaker 4: Do you feel about right before first pitch on Saturday,
- 7:47Speaker 4: if the whole station came out there.
- 7:48Speaker 3: And got on the diamond, you feel about that?
- 7:54Speaker 4: I think we should put that to a poll on
- 7:55Speaker 4: the ESPN page which show would win a home run
- 8:00Speaker 4: Derby at the box OTB, Yeah, Hunt Live at lunch AFR.
- 8:07Speaker 2: You probably We probably need to lay out the teams though,
- 8:09Speaker 2: like we just did.
- 8:10Speaker 4: You don't have space for all that, so I know,
- 8:12Speaker 4: I think people would assume Terrio would be with AFR.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Right they got to I would.
- 8:17Speaker 6: Think, yeah, that's the sure he goes on.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Yeah every week either way, it sounds fun.
- 8:23Speaker 5: Just got a new glove a couple of weeks ago,
- 8:25Speaker 5: you did, Yeah, because Huk's playing and so we're practicing
- 8:29Speaker 5: a lot in the yard, throwing a lot, and I
- 8:31Speaker 5: had to I think I still had the same glove
- 8:33Speaker 5: from intermeal softball.
- 8:35Speaker 3: Yeah, I would have if Peter Daikowski wouldn't run, mind, But.
- 8:38Speaker 5: Yeah, every time I put my hand in it and
- 8:40Speaker 5: we played catch, we had to catch, I would take
- 8:42Speaker 5: it off. My hand was like black because all the
- 8:44Speaker 5: leather was rubbing off. So I had to get a
- 8:46Speaker 5: new one. So I was actually kept pretty excited because
- 8:49Speaker 5: you're old. Yeah, I know, and you just don't get
- 8:51Speaker 5: baseball gloves very often.
- 8:52Speaker 3: What gloves you get?
- 8:54Speaker 5: A nice one, Wilson said, Marucci is a don't need
- 9:00Speaker 5: to be brand specific.
- 9:01Speaker 3: Do Walmart mb now? So don't drop that one.
- 9:10Speaker 8: Glub all right, I'll put it on ESPN's Twitter.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Perfect.

- 11:02Speaker 4: I don't know, like do we actually have access to

- 11:40Speaker 8: You can have it.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Yeah, I got TV in the office. I'll have it
- 11:43Speaker 3: in front of me. Did y'all see.
- 11:48Speaker 2: Lane Givenson courtside yesterday?
- 11:50Speaker 8: I did see that.
- 11:51Speaker 6: Why you went to Pelicans game.
- 11:54Speaker 5: I think he's messing with us a little bit. Ys
- 11:59Speaker 5: is you know they put the camera on him. They
- 12:01Speaker 5: show him on the jumbo tron. Do we say JumboTron anymore?
- 12:04Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 12:04Speaker 2: The same on the big screen.
- 12:07Speaker 6: That's that's what it is.
- 12:08Speaker 2: And he doped the l.
- 12:10Speaker 8: Yeah, but was it backwards hand? Then you're fine.
- 12:16Speaker 6: Yeah, Matt hates it all together, but I did.
- 12:20Speaker 2: I did.
- 12:20Speaker 7: Maybe you relinquished the lanquish for now, Yeah, temporary season assist.
- 12:26Speaker 3: Like y'all, y'all have noticed this. Matt hates something. He
- 12:30Speaker 3: hates it.
- 12:31Speaker 4: You're not going to like convince him otherwise. So he's
- 12:34Speaker 4: gonna hate that l frontwards or backwards for the rest
- 12:37Speaker 4: of the time. He's not going to back down from it.
- 12:39Speaker 2: Now.
- 12:39Speaker 10: The Pelicans lost because they lose every game. But Zion
- 12:44Speaker 10: played over thirty minutes and he finished the game.
- 12:48Speaker 6: So because Lena.
- 12:51Speaker 10: Yeah, that's that's a big ask for Zion to play thirty.
- 12:54Speaker 6: Minutes and get through the game.
- 12:55Speaker 4: So Jose Alvarado, who they traded for a bag of
- 12:59Speaker 4: peanuts and the hello uh. He had twenty six points
- 13:02Speaker 4: for the Knicks last night, hit eight three pointers, had
- 13:05Speaker 4: five steals, He stole the ball five times in an
- 13:09Speaker 4: NBA game, had four assists and three rebounds. He was
- 13:11Speaker 4: plus thirty five in the plus minus. Great, you got
- 13:16Speaker 4: a bag of pinots.
- 13:17Speaker 6: He hit fodge steels by himself. Yes, the Pills had
- 13:21Speaker 6: FDG Steels as a team last night. So that's fun.
- 13:23Speaker 8: Yeah, great move by the Pills.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Man.
- 13:26Speaker 4: What a bad organization. And I wanted to be good
- 13:30Speaker 4: so bad. And they've got really good players at times.
- 13:38Speaker 7: Cursed they trade away anybody that I'm like, oh this
- 13:41Speaker 7: this player, like CJ. McCollum brandon Ingram and then but
- 13:46Speaker 7: the thing like when you when they traded.
- 13:48Speaker 3: They don't get anything.
- 13:49Speaker 8: They get nothing out.
- 13:50Speaker 4: Of Daniels for the Hawks as a baller, you didn't
- 13:53Speaker 4: get anything like you got Murray, but he's been hurt.
- 13:55Speaker 10: If you want to get rid of Elvarado, fine, but
- 13:58Speaker 10: the value got to get round pick think.
- 14:01Speaker 8: Yeah, de John sat Murray.
- 14:02Speaker 7: But like you said, he's aert so we haven't really
- 14:04Speaker 7: seen anything from him.
- 14:08Speaker 3: Are the Pelicans basically the Wizards?
- 14:10Speaker 10: Yeah, they're the Wizards. They might actually be worse than
- 14:14Speaker 10: the Wizard. Wizards are historically awful, but I mean, I
- 14:18Speaker 10: guess the Pelican's kind of hard too.
- 14:20Speaker 4: The Pelicans right now have the third worst record in
- 14:25Speaker 4: the NBA. They're fifteen and forty one. Now, the Kings
- 14:30Speaker 4: are the worst team in the NBA. They're twelve and
- 14:32Speaker 4: forty four. They have lost fourteen games in a row.
- 14:36Speaker 4: What makes it Thank God for the Kings.
- 14:38Speaker 6: What makes it worse?
- 14:39Speaker 3: Though?
- 14:39Speaker 10: Like Kings obviously tanking to try to get a high pick,
- 14:43Speaker 10: the Wizards are not playing Anthony Davis and Trey Young
- 14:46Speaker 10: in the fourth quarter. They are very obviously trying to tank.
- 14:49Speaker 10: The Pelicans are not trying to tank, and they're still
- 14:51Speaker 10: bad because they don't have a first round pick. So
- 14:54Speaker 10: what are you tanking for for a higher pick? Your
- 14:56Speaker 10: pick belongs to someone else, So you're just bad. Those
- 15:00Speaker 10: other teams are trying to be bad.
- 15:01Speaker 4: You're not, Yeah, because you have Derek Queen, who's been
- 15:07Speaker 4: a good player. You don't have that pick, and you're
- 15:11Speaker 4: probably gonna, like, knowing the luck of the Pelicans, it's
- 15:15Speaker 4: gonna be the number one pick, no doubt they're gonna
- 15:20Speaker 4: win the lottery.
- 15:21Speaker 3: It's gonna be the number one pick is going to
- 15:23Speaker 3: go down.
- 15:25Speaker 4: The Hawks, who have already fleesh you for the last
- 15:30Speaker 4: trade that you all had, considering that Murray's played basically
- 15:34Speaker 4: no games for.
- 15:35Speaker 7: You, o TV running away with the home run Derby poll.
- 15:41Speaker 7: By the way Hunt has.
- 15:46Speaker 3: Heym's a pretty good little baseball. Hunt set baseball and
- 15:50Speaker 3: basketball record.
- 15:53Speaker 8: At his high school in basketball.
- 15:55Speaker 4: I don't know how much I think, yeah, I don't
- 15:58Speaker 4: know how much the ball actually went over the fence,
- 16:00Speaker 4: like as far as his power.
- 16:02Speaker 3: Pretty good athlete.
- 16:03Speaker 10: So he set a record for most threes shot, set
- 16:06Speaker 10: a record for most threes.
- 16:08Speaker 7: Mate, No, I think it was just and I could
- 16:10Speaker 7: have probably like I probably just made that up, but
- 16:12Speaker 7: I know he set some sort of school high school
- 16:14Speaker 7: record set up in the chat and tell us.

- 19:45Speaker 4: It was a series Don't Trust the b in Apartment
- 19:48Speaker 4: twenty three, and.
- 19:50Speaker 3: He played himself.
- 19:52Speaker 6: He was like Herd, the neighbor whatever.

- 20:18Speaker 3: This jersey will be in here.
- 20:20Speaker 5: Moving forward, What do you think Jonathan Moxon did post college?
- 20:26Speaker 3: Brown? Went to Brown, you.
- 20:27Speaker 2: Know that.
- 20:31Speaker 6: Probably didn't have the gate to make it to the NFL.
- 20:33Speaker 3: Now, I had a bad gate.
- 20:37Speaker 4: Hand measurables going to Brown, great attitude. He did something
- 20:43Speaker 4: more than just like investment banker.
- 20:45Speaker 5: Maybe an investment banker could have done that, could have
- 20:48Speaker 5: gone to as a writer or something like that.
- 20:50Speaker 3: He's a big reader. He was a big reader.
- 20:52Speaker 6: I think I think he was a doctor.
- 20:54Speaker 3: Okay, I just think that.
- 20:57Speaker 10: The only the only like school scene we saw it
- 21:00Speaker 10: was anatomy class. Then he tested Billy Bob for a
- 21:03Speaker 10: concussion he did. Then he confronted Coach Kilmer about the
- 21:07Speaker 10: needle on the leg.
- 21:08Speaker 3: I just I think he was actually about medicine.
- 21:14Speaker 5: Definitely didn't get back to West Kane, and he probably
- 21:16Speaker 5: would go back there. I'm sure he stayed in touch
- 21:18Speaker 5: with Lance Bath or Lance Harbor, Lance Fast. I had
- 21:23Speaker 5: my mind on that time frame a Lance Harbor, good lord, that's.
- 21:27Speaker 6: What he did. He became friends with Lance Fath.
- 21:29Speaker 2: I could it could man.
- 21:34Speaker 6: Lance, Lance and Billy Bob for sure where.
- 21:37Speaker 5: They stayed in touch, but like you know, how well
- 21:41Speaker 5: can you stay in touch? He was probably in the.
- 21:44Speaker 6: Couldn't stay at the jail.
- 21:46Speaker 5: He probably lived in the Northeast with Lance fast or
- 21:52Speaker 5: with Lance past Twitter drink here tweeter drink.
- 22:03Speaker 3: That he does? That he does? Oh Lance bathcot me.
- 22:09Speaker 3: I was not ready for that was not prepared. That's good?
- 22:12Speaker 8: Is crazy?
- 22:12Speaker 3: It is so good.
- 22:14Speaker 4: Gonna be a big weekend here on campus. Saturday. You've
- 22:18Speaker 4: got South Carolina coming to town. Sold out a basketball game.
- 22:22Speaker 4: The cheapest ticker right now one hundred bucks on the
- 22:24Speaker 4: secondary market just to get inside the p MAC. A
- 22:28Speaker 4: little bit different than when there was friends and family
- 22:30Speaker 4: in the LSU Arkansas men's basketball game the other day
- 22:33Speaker 4: inside the p MAX. It's gonna be a different atmosphere
- 22:36Speaker 4: if you will there. And also you've got baseball where
- 22:40Speaker 4: they're opening weekends, so it's gonna be one of those
- 22:42Speaker 4: great weekends where you have multiple sports going on here
- 22:45Speaker 4: on campus, and a lot of times you'll see people
- 22:48Speaker 4: go back and forth kind of go to both sports
- 22:50Speaker 4: and enjoy all the festivities that surround some of those
- 22:53Speaker 4: big games. And for baseball, just a little bit of
- 22:56Speaker 4: a reminder, and again we'll have Jay Johnson about thirty
- 22:58Speaker 4: minutes from now. You've got Milwaukee at two pm Central
- 23:02Speaker 4: on Friday, so it's gonna be an early first pitch.
- 23:06Speaker 4: So if you're planning on going out there, make sure
- 23:09Speaker 4: that you plan accordingly because two pm a little bit earlier,
- 23:13Speaker 4: certainly normally than they would start. And it's kind of
- 23:15Speaker 4: like been a tradition. I think Jay does like that
- 23:17Speaker 4: opening weekend, have that early game, and then on Saturday
- 23:20Speaker 4: it's one pm. Also on Sunday gonna be one pm,
- 23:24Speaker 4: So a lot going on here on campus for the
- 23:27Speaker 4: different sports taking place. And again you've got South Carolina
- 23:32Speaker 4: and LSU.
- 23:32Speaker 3: That's gonna be Saturday as well.
- 23:36Speaker 4: The tip of that game, though I believe it's seven
- 23:38Speaker 4: thirty pm, so it's a late game. It's gonna be
- 23:41Speaker 4: on ABC as well, so it's gonna be a lot
- 23:44Speaker 4: of eyeballs on that one.
- 23:47Speaker 5: Look, I'm pretty fired up for that one, and I
- 23:51Speaker 5: know that college basketball world is as well. So that's
- 23:55Speaker 5: the reason why this is the you know, obviously a
- 23:57Speaker 5: big game, big matchup. Don Stalley, it's going to be fantastic,
- 24:01Speaker 5: So hopefully the Lady Tigers can pull it out. Certainly
- 24:05Speaker 5: have had a great season up to this point and
- 24:09Speaker 5: continually improving. So I can't wait to talk to kim
- 24:11Speaker 5: ok here in just a little while. Uh a couple
- 24:14Speaker 5: of minutes.
- 24:15Speaker 4: I said, tickets the other day they were like ninety
- 24:18Speaker 4: four dollars secondary market. Yesterday they were one hundred dollars.
- 24:21Speaker 4: Now that has gone up to one hundred and eighteen dollars.
- 24:24Speaker 2: Nice.
- 24:24Speaker 4: So if you want to go watch what's the Lady
- 24:27Speaker 4: Tigers take on at the game Cocks, you better you
- 24:31Speaker 4: better go ahead because it's not going down, it's only
- 24:34Speaker 4: going to go up.
- 24:35Speaker 2: How many venues in women's basketball?
- 24:38Speaker 5: Is it the cheapest ticket to get in on hundred
- 24:40Speaker 5: and eighteen dollars, it's fantastic.
- 24:41Speaker 3: Yeah, not Maybe I.
- 24:42Speaker 8: Would say none.
- 24:42Speaker 2: I would say no.
- 24:43Speaker 4: Probably maybe Yukon I would even I don't know, I don't.
- 24:48Speaker 7: Think so, but maybe, like if there were to be
- 24:51Speaker 7: another one, then you could put them up there. But
- 24:53Speaker 7: I don't think any other women's basketball tickets are doing
- 24:57Speaker 7: numbers like that.
- 24:58Speaker 3: You got a few years ago to but yeah, now,
- 25:05Speaker 3: I mean I'm looking in.
- 25:08Speaker 7: If LSU wants to win this game, they cannot play
- 25:10Speaker 7: the way they played versus Texas.
- 25:13Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.
- 25:15Speaker 7: And they redeem themselves versus Auburn, but it's also Auburn,
- 25:18Speaker 7: and I think this is a really good team.
- 25:20Speaker 8: But the defense just needs to step up.
- 25:22Speaker 10: They surely, I mean the Texas game was an outlier,
- 25:25Speaker 10: like we were talking about it now. When you had
- 25:26Speaker 10: multi last week, they were giving up sixty five points
- 25:29Speaker 10: a game in SEC play Like the Texas game is
- 25:32Speaker 10: a little bit of an outlying.
- 25:33Speaker 6: I think they'll be fine.
- 25:35Speaker 4: All right, Well, let's go ahead, let's take a break,
- 25:38Speaker 4: and when we come back, we are going to be
- 25:40Speaker 4: joined by heat LSU basketball coach Kim Maulkey to break
- 25:43Speaker 4: down LSU versus South Carolina, and we'll do it right
- 25:46Speaker 4: here on OTB live from the Raisin Kanes.
- 25:48Speaker 3: Studio, top the bench.
- 25:52Speaker 4: All right, when it's time to kick back, you don't

- 27:18Speaker 1: and Flynn, Matt and Rouge's go to for all things
- 27:21Speaker 1: Louisiana sports.
- 27:25Speaker 4: All right, welcome back in oh TV here live from
- 27:28Speaker 4: the Raising Kanes Studio one of our favorite times every
- 27:31Speaker 4: single week is when we get the opportunity to catch
- 27:33Speaker 4: up with head LSU basketball coach kil Mulki and she
- 27:36Speaker 4: joins us. Now, Coach, we appreciate the time as always.
- 27:39Speaker 4: Hope you're doing well.
- 27:41Speaker 11: I apologize for yesterday. I was out of pocket and
- 27:45Speaker 11: I have just, you know, a little bit more important
- 27:48Speaker 11: thing on my mind. Good looking guys.
- 27:50Speaker 3: I mean, come on now, coach, I told you yesterday.
- 27:53Speaker 3: We completely understand.
- 27:55Speaker 4: We're just glad to have the conversation no matter what
- 27:57Speaker 4: day of the week it is. And you mentioned there's
- 27:59Speaker 4: a pretty big game going on Saturday. But before we
- 28:02Speaker 4: get into some of you know, the x's and o's
- 28:05Speaker 4: of the game, I just want to ask you to
- 28:09Speaker 4: be in a place like LSU when you take this
- 28:10Speaker 4: job over. Obviously it needed a big bump, and it
- 28:14Speaker 4: needed you know, obviously a better team, but the crowds
- 28:17Speaker 4: and to get it back to the place that you
- 28:19Speaker 4: knew it could be.
- 28:20Speaker 3: We were just talking about a coach before you came on.
- 28:22Speaker 4: Right now, this game sold out and even on the
- 28:24Speaker 4: secondary market, if you want a ticket to this game,
- 28:28Speaker 4: the cheapest ticket to get two feet inside the.
- 28:30Speaker 3: P MAC is one hundred and eighteen dollars.
- 28:33Speaker 4: When you see something like that, see what y'all have
- 28:35Speaker 4: built over time, I know you have to be proud
- 28:37Speaker 4: of the effort of everybody surrounding the basketball program.
- 28:41Speaker 11: Well, certainly I am. And you know it's so misleading,
- 28:44Speaker 11: and I can explain it to you guys as everybody else.
- 28:47Speaker 11: You know, when you look at a budget and they'll go, oh,
- 28:49Speaker 11: but they go in the red. They lose money. Look
- 28:51Speaker 11: how much money they're spending. It doesn't it doesn't. It
- 28:56Speaker 11: doesn't fit, does it. So here's what the difference is.
- 28:59Speaker 11: We're selling out these and tickets are sold on that
- 29:02Speaker 11: lower bowl and they're hard to get every year, right,
- 29:05Speaker 11: and we've raised the prices and we've done all these things,
- 29:09Speaker 11: but how do you still how are you still you know,
- 29:13Speaker 11: losing money? It goes to the TV contracts and we
- 29:18Speaker 11: can have a terrible team, but you let eight or
- 29:20Speaker 11: nine teams in the SEC getting the NCAA playoffs. All
- 29:24Speaker 11: that goes into a big pot and then they disperse
- 29:26Speaker 11: it and that's how they make money. We don't have
- 29:30Speaker 11: that in women's basketball badly. You would think, man, we're
- 29:34Speaker 11: killing it in women's basketball. Here upon is killing it.
- 29:38Speaker 11: But when you look at it at the end of
- 29:39Speaker 11: the year, it's like, wow, are you kidding me? It's
- 29:42Speaker 11: the TV contract. So now that I've gotten out off
- 29:45Speaker 11: my chest, people understand we're not out there just you know,
- 29:50Speaker 11: spending money left and right. It is what it is,
- 29:53Speaker 11: and so I call it a return on investment. Are
- 29:56Speaker 11: we selling out the big games?
- 29:58Speaker 7: You bet?
- 29:58Speaker 11: Are we selling season tickets? Bit? So it is important
- 30:03Speaker 11: that people understand that. But it's also important to understand
- 30:07Speaker 11: we have built something here at LSU and women's basketball
- 30:10Speaker 11: in a very short period of time. How did that happen? Well,
- 30:13Speaker 11: the transfer portal certainly helped you. I think my history
- 30:17Speaker 11: of what I have done helped. My reputation helps And
- 30:20Speaker 11: then you got to have good coaches. And if you
- 30:22Speaker 11: go out there and you get good players and good
- 30:24Speaker 11: things like this can happen.
- 30:28Speaker 5: And certainly all that everything that your staff's done and
- 30:30Speaker 5: you have done and your players have done, has you know,
- 30:33Speaker 5: kind of built up to this, to what Jake was
- 30:35Speaker 5: saying about how hard it is just to get two
- 30:37Speaker 5: feet in. And another part of all of that is
- 30:40Speaker 5: certainly the fan base and how what kind of impact
- 30:43Speaker 5: they might be able to have on a game like
- 30:46Speaker 5: the one coming up. So I wanted to know kind
- 30:48Speaker 5: of like when the PMC is loud and it's going
- 30:51Speaker 5: to be a night game and it's going to college
- 30:53Speaker 5: game day there, there's going to be a lot of
- 30:54Speaker 5: fanfare about it, so it's going to be rocking. And
- 30:57Speaker 5: what kind of impact can the PMAC have when and
- 31:00Speaker 5: it is as loud as it possibly can? What kind
- 31:01Speaker 5: of impact can that have on the opposing team?
- 31:05Speaker 11: Well, you know, it doesn't bring you victory. What it
- 31:08Speaker 11: does it gives you this little adrenaline push that maybe
- 31:11Speaker 11: that shots you miss on the road when you're fatigued. Man,
- 31:15Speaker 11: you might just be able to make it at home.
- 31:18Speaker 11: Home court is an advantage. Home field is an advantage,
- 31:23Speaker 11: but it doesn't guarantee victory. What it might guarantee it, man,
- 31:26Speaker 11: is got lee. We can compete with somebody we're not
- 31:28Speaker 11: supposed to compete with. Maybe we can beat them, and
- 31:31Speaker 11: we've done that in the PMAC. We've lost them that
- 31:33Speaker 11: we shouldn't have. But at the end of the day,
- 31:36Speaker 11: it brings you pride. It just really gets you in
- 31:40Speaker 11: an adrenaline rush that place we've been accused of piping
- 31:43Speaker 11: in music piping in noise.
- 31:46Speaker 4: It's crazy, and coach, we're expecting one of those atmospheres.
- 31:52Speaker 4: It's going to be just that coming up on Saturday.
- 31:54Speaker 4: And as you know, with the basketball team that you've
- 31:56Speaker 4: got coming in, South Carolina, going to be a tough contact.
- 32:00Speaker 4: And y'all have had so many great battles over the years.
- 32:03Speaker 4: When you face a Don Staley led basketball team, is
- 32:06Speaker 4: there like one thing that you can say, Okay, I
- 32:08Speaker 4: know for a fact this is what is always going
- 32:10Speaker 4: to be there. Does it change with a team like
- 32:12Speaker 4: when you face off against South Carolina kind of what's
- 32:15Speaker 4: the first thing you and your staff circle to say, Okay,
- 32:17Speaker 4: we know they're going to do this, we got to
- 32:19Speaker 4: make sure we have a plan for it.
- 32:21Speaker 11: Well, the first thing you circle is, man, they're good,
- 32:23Speaker 11: they're talented, they're high school All Americans all throughout that lineup.
- 32:28Speaker 11: And the second thing is you're dealing with a coach
- 32:30Speaker 11: that's won three championships. The coaches coached in the Olympics
- 32:33Speaker 11: played in the Olympics, so you know you're getting the
- 32:36Speaker 11: total package, and you know it's going to be a tough,
- 32:40Speaker 11: hard faught game. They're going to play your man, they'll
- 32:43Speaker 11: mix them some more zone. I don't think there's any secrets.
- 32:47Speaker 11: When you reach middle of February, both programs pretty much
- 32:51Speaker 11: are established on what their beliefs are, both offensively and defensively.
- 32:55Speaker 11: You might throw a little wrinkle in here and there.
- 32:57Speaker 11: It might work, it might not work, yep, But it's
- 33:00Speaker 11: just two teams that have established themselves in the elite
- 33:07Speaker 11: of women's basketball.
- 33:10Speaker 5: Good you talked about You talked last week about wanting
- 33:13Speaker 5: to bottle up that defensive effort that you gave against Auburn.
- 33:16Speaker 5: So what helped the conversations and practices, the game plan
- 33:19Speaker 5: and I don't know how much film goes into the
- 33:22Speaker 5: game preparation, but how much have you been able to
- 33:27Speaker 5: get that message across? And just like you said last week,
- 33:31Speaker 5: how are you able to bottle that up and hopefully
- 33:34Speaker 5: let it go for the rest of the season.
- 33:37Speaker 11: Well, you show it to them. You don't pat them
- 33:40Speaker 11: on the back too long because you got another game
- 33:42Speaker 11: to get ready for. You show them what's good. You
- 33:44Speaker 11: show them in the other games what was bad. And
- 33:48Speaker 11: you try to repeat it, repeat it, repeat it, repetition.
- 33:52Speaker 11: Y'all know this. I mean, how many times have you
- 33:53Speaker 11: thrown the football just to your receivers with no pads on.
- 33:56Speaker 11: That's what you do and we do that every day.
- 34:00Speaker 11: Yesterday our entire practice was about offensive execution. We have
- 34:04Speaker 11: to score with South Carolina. That's how good they are.
- 34:08Speaker 11: You can't sit here and think it's gonna and it
- 34:10Speaker 11: will be a defensive battle. But they can score the ball,
- 34:13Speaker 11: and we have to score with them. Last time we
- 34:16Speaker 11: played them in Columbia, we out rebounded them, So you know,
- 34:20Speaker 11: you've got to out rebound them. But what you got
- 34:22Speaker 11: to do and score and we can hold them to
- 34:24Speaker 11: all these you know, low and field goals made, but
- 34:28Speaker 11: they kill you at the foul line, and we just
- 34:31Speaker 11: got killed at the foul line in Columbia.
- 34:35Speaker 4: Coach, when you have a game of this magnitude, but
- 34:37Speaker 4: your team, y'all certainly have players that have played in
- 34:40Speaker 4: even national championship games in one titles, but have played
- 34:43Speaker 4: in big games, how do you handle kind of that stage.
- 34:47Speaker 3: Is it different with every player?
- 34:49Speaker 4: Is it just the same message just like you had
- 34:51Speaker 4: last time out the last couple of games. Because you
- 34:53Speaker 4: and your staff you off coach so many big games,
- 34:55Speaker 4: I mean, the biggest games.
- 34:57Speaker 3: Do you make anything more of it?
- 34:58Speaker 4: Because like in football, sometimes we would have coaches that
- 35:01Speaker 4: try to steer away from hyping up a game. We
- 35:04Speaker 4: had some that would try to go full board, like
- 35:06Speaker 4: we've got to know the magnitude of this game.
- 35:08Speaker 3: How do you handle a big game like this?
- 35:11Speaker 11: You be real with them. I think that my honesty
- 35:15Speaker 11: and expectations are pretty fair and real. And if you
- 35:19Speaker 11: win a game, it puts you in a good position
- 35:21Speaker 11: to do something. If you lose a game, you tell them,
- 35:24Speaker 11: you let them know that you just blew that. But
- 35:27Speaker 11: guess what, they're a bigger fish to fry. So you
- 35:31Speaker 11: just talk to them, You show them standing, you show
- 35:34Speaker 11: them things. You know. This SEC, there's about four or
- 35:38Speaker 11: five teams right now that are within a game of
- 35:41Speaker 11: each other and trying to win the SEC championship. And
- 35:43Speaker 11: it's crazy.
- 35:47Speaker 2: Coach your team right now.
- 35:48Speaker 5: They of course, you've had a lot of success this year,
- 35:50Speaker 5: you've had you've played, certainly you're playing the SEC. It's
- 35:54Speaker 5: the best. So there's you've played, You've had a tough
- 35:56Speaker 5: schedule up to this point. You have a big game
- 35:58Speaker 5: on Saturday, so but I know it is February. You're
- 36:01Speaker 5: getting closer and closer to Marsh. What have you learned
- 36:04Speaker 5: about j Jami. You've talked about it multiple times on
- 36:06Speaker 5: the show about you know, in this world at college
- 36:09Speaker 5: college basketball, college athletics, sometimes you only get that one
- 36:11Speaker 5: year with somebody. What is the biggest thing for your
- 36:14Speaker 5: team that you are still constantly working on to improve
- 36:17Speaker 5: leading up to March.
- 36:21Speaker 11: So my personality in coaching is you're never satisfied. When
- 36:26Speaker 11: you get satisfied, you become complacent, You become lazy. So
- 36:30Speaker 11: you're always trying to make sure that you acknowledge the good.
- 36:35Speaker 11: You make sure you acknowledge what we're doing great and
- 36:37Speaker 11: how good we are in certain areas, and how talented
- 36:40Speaker 11: we are and what we are doing. But you can
- 36:42Speaker 11: never become complacent. I always believe coaches who become complacent
- 36:47Speaker 11: they're on their way to retirement. And I just believe
- 36:50Speaker 11: that it's my job to make sure that we keep
- 36:54Speaker 11: practices to a minimum where you don't burn them out,
- 36:57Speaker 11: but yet you get their attention. I believe that you know,
- 37:02Speaker 11: complacency and being satisfied, you know that's that's just not good.
- 37:09Speaker 4: Catching up with LSU had basketball coach Kim Munkey here
- 37:12Speaker 4: on ot B Coach. We were talking about this as well,
- 37:15Speaker 4: right before you hopped on a great weekend to be
- 37:18Speaker 4: an LSU Tiger fan. They get a chance to if
- 37:21Speaker 4: they want to, on Saturday, go out to the box
- 37:24Speaker 4: watch a little college baseball with LSU opening up the season.
- 37:27Speaker 4: Then get a chance to walk right across the street
- 37:29Speaker 4: to the PMAC and see a top matchup against you know,
- 37:33Speaker 4: LSU South Carolina. So you excited about college baseball. I know,
- 37:37Speaker 4: obviously that's something that is near and dear to your heart.
- 37:40Speaker 4: And a lot of LSU fans gonna take both games
- 37:42Speaker 4: in baseball and basketball on the.
- 37:44Speaker 11: Same day, absolutely, and it seems to be that way
- 37:47Speaker 11: every year. It seems like we always play South Carolina later,
- 37:52Speaker 11: and it's always around opening series or opening game in baseball.
- 37:57Speaker 11: And I'm good because really most of those fans, they
- 38:00Speaker 11: really are women's basketball fans now. And it's fun. I mean,
- 38:05Speaker 11: think about that. You spend all day on campus and
- 38:08Speaker 11: you can walk to the arena and park, go their
- 38:11Speaker 11: early park, and then see if you can't try to
- 38:14Speaker 11: help us win, you know, in baseball, and then win
- 38:18Speaker 11: in basketball.
- 38:20Speaker 5: Coach Jake's gonna roll his eyes at me when I
- 38:23Speaker 5: ask this question to you, But this is so this
- 38:28Speaker 5: is a this is an awesome time to be just
- 38:30Speaker 5: like a sports fan in general. And I think we
- 38:32Speaker 5: some of people like Jake, who know only a couple
- 38:35Speaker 5: of sports, can put their pride aside and watch other sports.
- 38:38Speaker 5: Right now, the Winter Olympics is happening. I know you're
- 38:41Speaker 5: busy your mid season, you've got a big game coming up,
- 38:43Speaker 5: but do you get excited do you catch a lot
- 38:45Speaker 5: of the Olympic sports, especially the Winter Olympics, since it's
- 38:48Speaker 5: happening right now.
- 38:50Speaker 11: It's an interesting question because I just acknowledged this at
- 38:53Speaker 11: my monthly lunch and this past Tuesday. So I was
- 38:58Speaker 11: channel surfing and I don't get to do that much.
- 39:00Speaker 11: But we finished practice. I went home. You know, you
- 39:05Speaker 11: watch the news with Savannah Guthrie's mother, and you try
- 39:08Speaker 11: to keep up to date on what's going on in
- 39:10Speaker 11: Baton Rouge, because I really do like to call myself
- 39:15Speaker 11: a person that has other interests of it in sport.
- 39:18Speaker 11: But I was moving the TV around and I stopped
- 39:21Speaker 11: on the Winter Olympics, and I thought, just stop and
- 39:24Speaker 11: watch something, Kim. I know you're writing in the middle
- 39:26Speaker 11: of basketball, and guess what, it was curling. So I
- 39:31Speaker 11: sat there and I said, let me just watch this,
- 39:34Speaker 11: you know, And so I caught myself when I got
- 39:37Speaker 11: up the next morning getting the broom and seeing what
- 39:39Speaker 11: that felt like, just to go back and forth as
- 39:42Speaker 11: fast as you could or as you can, and it
- 39:46Speaker 11: wasn't the same. But I thought to myself, Wow, curling,
- 39:50Speaker 11: we don't even you know, we do good to know
- 39:52Speaker 11: what hockey is down here, and what you know ice
- 39:56Speaker 11: skating is. We don't know anything about that. But I did.
- 39:59Speaker 3: I watched there you go, all right, coach, I did.
- 40:03Speaker 4: I just I said, I appreciated the Summer Olympics a
- 40:05Speaker 4: little bit more than the Winter Olympics because of all
- 40:08Speaker 4: the great sports in the Summer Olympics with basketball and
- 40:11Speaker 4: now baseball, softball coming back, and track athletes being incredible athletes.
- 40:15Speaker 4: So I'm trying to get into the Winter Olympics, but
- 40:18Speaker 4: I just I have a lot more love for the
- 40:20Speaker 4: Summer Olympics.
- 40:21Speaker 11: That's understandable. You have to remember where you live and
- 40:24Speaker 11: the sports that we're exposed to. You know, it's just
- 40:28Speaker 11: it's natural. It doesn't mean you don't pull for those athletes,
- 40:32Speaker 11: but it's just something that you already are exposed to
- 40:35Speaker 11: those sports. Those are the ones you kind of gravitate to.
- 40:38Speaker 11: And look, I used to take my kids no skin.
- 40:42Speaker 11: Do you know how long it takes to put on
- 40:43Speaker 11: the gear to go up there? And I was like,
- 40:45Speaker 11: this is too much work, man, right, I mean, it's
- 40:49Speaker 11: just work to put on all that gi I have
- 40:51Speaker 11: a great appreciation for them, whether I watch them or not.
- 40:55Speaker 4: That's the same way that I said it. So I
- 40:56Speaker 4: appreciate you confirming that.
- 40:58Speaker 3: Coach.
- 40:58Speaker 4: Hey, we always thank you for your time. Great matchup
- 41:01Speaker 4: coming up this weekend. Be in that number, find a

- 44:09Speaker 4: All right, Welcome back in OTB here live from the
- 44:12Speaker 4: Raising Kanes Studio. Appreciate Coach Mulkey for joining us every
- 44:15Speaker 4: single week here during the basketball season.
- 44:18Speaker 3: What a great opportunity for the team.
- 44:21Speaker 4: South Carolina number three team in the country, LSU number
- 44:24Speaker 4: six team in the country, So it gonna be a
- 44:26Speaker 4: top six matchup and one that really can change the
- 44:31Speaker 4: projection of your season. Like you go get a win
- 44:33Speaker 4: against the South Carolina team, we all know what that
- 44:36Speaker 4: can do for you as you come to a close
- 44:39Speaker 4: here in the regular season. A great atmosphere expected in
- 44:42Speaker 4: the p mat gonna be thirteen thousand plus strong, and
- 44:45Speaker 4: it's always it's always a fun matchup when Kim Molky
- 44:48Speaker 4: Don Staley, they get a chance. I mean, two of
- 44:50Speaker 4: the legends of the game, National championship, multiple time winning
- 44:54Speaker 4: head coaches. Both teams really really good this year. When
- 44:57Speaker 4: you look at all the analytics of this, LSU's got
- 45:00Speaker 4: more points per game, but like points against South Carolina
- 45:04Speaker 4: fifty five, LSU fifty seven field goal percentage, Both teams
- 45:07Speaker 4: shoot fifty two percent, rebounds LSU forty eight, South Carolina
- 45:11Speaker 4: forty three. Assists right there, eighteen point three for South Carolina,
- 45:14Speaker 4: nineteen for LSU, blocks six to five, steals ten to twelve.
- 45:20Speaker 4: I mean, every analytic of this matchup is almost the same.
- 45:24Speaker 4: Now South Carolina is going in certainly the right direction.
- 45:27Speaker 4: They beat a really good Vanderbilt basketball team who's number
- 45:30Speaker 4: two in the SEC, one oh three to seventy four
- 45:33Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago. Last time out, they beat
- 45:35Speaker 4: Tennessee ninety three to fifty in Tennessee. That was only
- 45:39Speaker 4: their second loss in the SEC. So South Carolina certainly
- 45:43Speaker 4: has found their fastball here in this latter portion of
- 45:47Speaker 4: the season. Again, only two losses on the season, but
- 45:50Speaker 4: they are playing some of the best basketball in the
- 45:53Speaker 4: country right now. Certainly, going in the right direction going
- 45:55Speaker 4: to be a big test for this LSU basketball team.
- 45:58Speaker 3: All right, when we come back to kick.
- 45:59Speaker 4: Off off hour number three, Jay Johnson, head baseball coach
