Your home town. John dear dealer in Louisiana. I'm Matt,
15
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.879
he Will, Hey, Bud, Paul O'Neil. They're chanting Paul O'Neil's name.
16
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:20.920
You soon, and mister Toby tom Blick.

All right, we're here. Glad you are as well. Get
18
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:31.040
out there and make it a good one. Verge Ausbury
19
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.400
sits down with Jacques Jus talk a little bit about
20
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:35.480
the state of the current football team, Coacho coming back.
21
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:37.840
Get to all that here in about fifteen minutes from
22
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.599
right now. Don't you all let Little Rock get up
23
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.840
in your region. They gonna cause all kinds of hell
24
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:48.519
if you missed it. The Trojans swept through Hattiesburg. This
25
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.079
how it sounded? Ding fires swing it.
26
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:59.599
A mess, It's over. Little Rock breaks through this improbable, remarkable,
27
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.040
a Chickle postseason run is going to continue in a
28
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:06.519
super regionals next week.
29
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:11.439
Program first, I mean, I don't know how improbable it was.
30
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:13.759
I watched him last year. Give LSU hell the back.
31
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:18.400
Chris Curry, a guy who admittedly hates LSU good enough
32
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:20.240
to join us on the show. Coach. Great to have
33
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:22.360
you back. Congratulations.
34
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.159
I was going to bring that up the very first
35
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:28.360
question last year that you said you went through my
36
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:32.599
whole career playing in another SEC school. How much do
37
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:35.280
you hate LSU? And I never said that. I never
38
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.360
said that. But if you would have told me a
39
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:41.560
year ago that I would get to talk to you
40
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.080
because of this, I'll take it. I will take it,
41
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:45.960
But I do not hate LSU. Let's be clear.
42
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:48.439
Oh do you play the wait? This was it? I
43
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:50.719
pulled the audio. This was it? When coaches with us
44
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:54.879
last year. It's our pleasure. So I mentioned you know
45
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.560
a little bit about LSU played Assissippi State back in
46
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:02.120
ninety nine coached at arkinsaw So played LSU in ten,
47
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:04.759
nine and twenty ten. By the way, all three of
48
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.080
those series LSU won, And I might have might have
49
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:10.759
looked up that in the ninety nine Mississippi State LSU
50
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.680
series that Chris Curry caught and went two for eleven
51
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:16.439
with three strikeouts that weekend. Uh, do you hate LSU?
52
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:22.360
Wow? Thank you for that introduction. I appreciate it. Do
53
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:23.159
I hate LSU?
54
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:23.360
No?
55
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:23.879
I don't.
56
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:26.879
Well, Chris Curry good enough to join us on what's
57
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:29.240
a big week now? That that was a lot of fun.
58
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.840
It was nice to reconnect with you last week. Let's
59
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.240
look after. I would imagine last year when you all
60
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:37.840
were on the brink of winning the Baton Rouge Regional
61
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.960
and the disappointment up to follow it up and not
62
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:43.159
let that be a detriment but actually a catalyst is
63
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:47.159
pretty amazing. How did you all respond from last year
64
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:49.680
and springboard to your regional championship this year?
65
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.759
Yeah, you hit the nail on the head, Matt. I
66
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.360
felt immediately when I walked off the field at Alex
67
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:59.840
Spots that night that I wanted to make sure that
68
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.439
a Little Rock wasn't a fluke, wasn't a Centerella story
69
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:05.960
or hey, you remember that one year when Little Rock
70
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:08.520
got hot for a couple of weeks. I felt an
71
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:12.560
incredible responsibility to use that as a jumping off point,
72
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:17.079
a springboard for Little Rock Baseball. Immediately the portal opened
73
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:19.199
that Sunday night at midnight, I was on the podium
74
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:23.079
there in the postgame presser, and we recruited our tails
75
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.519
off literally up until the day that school started adding
76
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:33.000
the depth LS. That game showed me what we were
77
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:35.839
lacking in where we were deficient to close out a
78
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.079
region we were close. I knew, I knew we had
79
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.439
some pieces, we didn't have enough of them. And I'll
80
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.519
give you an exact moment where I took a note.
81
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.519
I don't know if you remember, but twice Curie l
82
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.399
comes up in big, big moments, and twice I intentionally
83
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:56.720
walked him to get to Bear Jones and that that
84
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:02.120
a fan over my shoulder. True story at LSU's immediately yelled,
85
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.639
oh coach, you just got fired. Your president is wondering
86
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:07.600
why you are walking a freshman to get to an
87
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.519
All American. The answer was, I didn't have any left
88
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.160
handed pitching and I had a right handed side armor
89
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.560
in there, but I knew I got to go get
90
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.079
some lefties to get you know, the caliber. And nobody
91
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:21.079
gets Kurry l out he's a future big leader. But
92
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:26.360
things like that, things like depths in the outfield depth,
93
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.959
on the infield depth but the catcher position. That's what
94
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.279
that showed us. And then like I, like I said,
95
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.120
we felt an incredible responsibility to back up the regional
96
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:36.959
and Baton region.
97
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:41.279
I felt like we have there's no doubt, how coach,
98
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:44.800
how many guys that were impact guys for you on
99
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.000
that roster a year ago were on the field when
100
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:49.319
you clinched in Hattiesburg.
101
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.639
Well you remember angel Cano. Sure we were able to
102
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.600
retain that was a huge piece. I was also encouraged
103
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.439
by the LSU fans as we were walking off field
104
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.759
that that Angel Cano might be wearing purple and gold
105
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:08.879
or some other color than our color. And we immediately
106
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:13.000
went to work retaining him and we did. And that's
107
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.600
not a shot at anybody. That just shows the commitment
108
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.519
that Little Rock has the winning But Cooper Chaplain. The
109
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:24.199
second baseman was back, Ty Rhodes, and right field was back,
110
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.319
and then we had a couple of other player catcher
111
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.759
Trey Hill was actually a backup and heard at that time.
112
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:36.079
But I had good nucleus back and Ryan Geck and
113
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:40.120
Gage Hayley. But where we had to bolster was on
114
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:45.439
the front line. A totally knew pitching rotation in Westmoreland.
115
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:50.480
Nick Brondini, Brigdan Parker. But answer your question. Four guys
116
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.079
from the team last year. Malcolm Brown, he went five
117
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:55.920
and a third inning on a Sunday night game. He's back.
118
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:59.360
So I used the experience of those guys to help
119
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.199
spread the word in the locker room. And here's how
120
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:03.199
you do it. Here's what you're gonna feel, here's what
121
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:04.519
you're gonna expect.
122
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.000
Coach Nick BRONZENI like who started his career at LSU, Nick.
123
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:12.680
Bronzini, that's the same guy, same guy he left LSU
124
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:13.600
and went to Washington.
125
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:14.480
Yeah.
126
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:18.319
And uh, Matt Parker, my recruiting coordinator and third base coach,
127
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:21.600
had had recruited him a couple of years ago and
128
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:24.079
saw his name pop up, and we need a left
129
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.240
handed pitching As I talked about and we picked him up.
130
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.439
He started the championship game for US, went four innings.
131
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.639
And he needs He'll tell you, Matt, he needs to
132
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:36.920
sharp enough when when he left LSU and you know,
133
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:40.600
he wasn't there yet and ready to pitch there and
134
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:43.399
he went out and did that. And now we've gotten
135
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.079
the older, more mature version of him and got standing.
136
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.560
That's amazing. I love that story. I mean, that's you know,
137
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:54.160
I know this this era gets criticized a lot because
138
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:55.680
of the portal and things like this is one of
139
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:58.279
those things that I love. This guy who took a
140
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:02.199
circuitous route but found to home and is maximizing his ability,
141
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:04.839
which I think is a great story. Chris Curry is
142
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.199
our guest head coach of the Little Rock trojans Men.
143
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.439
They're heading to super Regional against the Troy Trojans. I'm
144
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.920
sure you've already done plenty of scouting. How does your
145
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:15.040
team match up against Troy?
146
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:20.199
The very familiar opponent, not this personnel, but I think
147
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.920
somebody said we've played them fifty times in the history
148
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:25.920
because we're old Sun Belt Bows. And when I first
149
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:29.399
hit the job, I looked it up. I've personally coached
150
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:34.039
against Troy University twenty times, played three series on the
151
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.960
road there, so super familiar. The ballpark it's unique. It's
152
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:41.679
got a cool, rightfuled monster, green monster, if you will.
153
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:44.919
And then it's all turf, which our place is. That's
154
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:48.799
some comfort there. But they hit around two ninety, which
155
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.080
mirrors our club. They do hit home runs, They've got
156
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:55.240
eighty eight they got in the forties and stolen bases
157
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:57.919
and so kind of like us. They're not a huge
158
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:00.440
running team. E er A TM e ra A is
159
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:03.840
in the middle five that I think that they're They're
160
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.120
the most important thing that they're hot right now and
161
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.279
they're playing. They had a great year, some marquee wins
162
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:12.279
that got in as an that large did and the
163
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:16.279
sun Belts a juggernaut of a league, and uh, it's
164
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:19.519
gonna be a battle. They went and beat Miami and
165
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:22.440
then they went and beat Florida and they got it done.
166
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:25.480
And so I watched the game last night knowing that
167
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:27.799
we would play the winner of that game, and I'm
168
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.360
very impressed. They finished as a closer right hander in
169
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.639
the mid nineties. They got a left handed hitter that's
170
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:36.679
one of the best hitters in the league, and so
171
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.399
we're gonna have our hands full. They're they're they're gonna
172
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.320
add all the stands and standing room that they can.
173
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:45.799
It'll be a crazy environment and we're looking forward to it.
174
00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:49.840
Do you let yourself think that you're two outs away
175
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:51.000
from the College World Series?
176
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:51.720
All right?
177
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:53.960
I'm sorry, two two wins away from the College World Series?
178
00:09:55.480 --> 00:10:00.480
You know I I haven't yet just completely. We set
179
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:02.799
back and thought about what all of that would mean,
180
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.519
partly because you know, you don't want to get your
181
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:07.519
heart all the way in it and then get a
182
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.480
crushed baseball. You know, we always talk about She's a cruel, evil,
183
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:13.639
evil mistress. She'll rip your heart out if you're not
184
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:15.320
too careful. So you got to take it a game
185
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.080
at a time. But I have sat back, Matt, to
186
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:19.759
be honest, and thought about what it would mean for
187
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:23.799
us in our program and everything be it Omaha. I
188
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:26.480
haven't said the word omaha to my team at all.
189
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:30.080
We had our first team meetings since the final because
190
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:32.480
we had to travel yesterday and you know, they had
191
00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:34.399
a day off, and so we just talked about where
192
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:36.200
we are and what's on the line. They get it.
193
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:40.679
They don't need me to explain it. I think they're
194
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.159
being so inundated with media and attention, and they should.
195
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:47.240
They've earned that. I'm happy for them, but they don't
196
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:50.600
need me to add to put some more air in
197
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:53.039
the balloon. My job. I feel the postseasons actually take
198
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.759
the air out of the balloon. Calm everybody down, bring
199
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:58.360
everybody back to their routines. But sure, when we're all
200
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.000
sitting around and we have a moment, your mind can't
201
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.559
help but escape to how awesome it would be to
202
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:04.120
be an omaha.
203
00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:06.919
I shared with our audience a text message you sent
204
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:08.919
me last week and you said it was okay if
205
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:12.120
I did, And I'm curious if have you. Do you
206
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:15.399
still hear from or have you heard from any LSU
207
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:17.919
fans or any outreach to the program.
208
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:23.720
I still get tons of follows, tons of likes, tons
209
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:27.360
of we're pulling for you, go Trojan g E A
210
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:32.960
U X, all all kinds of positive messages from the
211
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:36.320
LSU fan base. I have a stack of letters here
212
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:42.799
from folks that sent handwritten notes. I've created some friendships
213
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.720
both on the LSU staff the LSU fans is still
214
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.879
stay in touch and not one negative thing has been
215
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:55.120
said to us. Both last year women finished. And then
216
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:57.919
now we actually I think had two LSU fans show
217
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:03.120
up in purple and gold at our regional How awesome
218
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:07.559
was that? And so I think we will be two
219
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:13.840
programs that are forever connected. And again some some wonderfully nice,
220
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.360
classy things have been said to us by Jay and
221
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:20.039
his staff when we saw them at the National Coaches
222
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:25.080
Convention in January before the season started. And yeah, another
223
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:26.679
of the class.
224
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:30.159
Well, uh, it's a it's a bummer that the Tigers
225
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:33.919
aren't in it, but it actually allows all of us
226
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:35.480
to sit back who love the game, to sit back
227
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.159
and be fans of someone else. And I think there's
228
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.639
a lot spy, a lot of people here who have
229
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:42.720
made Little Rock their adoptive team for this this run.
230
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:44.840
So I'll tell you, man, we'll be pulling for you
231
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:48.120
and the coach. There's a very real thing that that
232
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:50.639
people who have listened to this show for a long
233
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.240
time acknowledge is real. And especially if you're a superstitious
234
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:57.000
baseball guy, we call it a f R karma. I mean,
235
00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:59.240
I've had former l s U players that are in
236
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:01.799
their pro career have reached out to be like, hey, man,
237
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:03.120
can I come on the show? I'm in a slump.
238
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:04.279
I need to come on the show so I can
239
00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:07.039
break out of the slump. Like so we we bequeath
240
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.360
all the AFR karma out of the Trojans. Man, y'all
241
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:11.080
go get it done this weekend and get to om Hall.
242
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:12.559
We'd love to talk to you when you're up there.
243
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:15.720
Well, well, humbley accept it. We need all the help
244
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.879
we can get. There's plenty of seats on the bandwagon
245
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:19.600
for a Little Rock.
246
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:20.159
Let's go.
247
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:23.440
H you may you maybe got us a little hot
248
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:25.720
last year, so we needed to help us get hot again.
249
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:27.080
I appreciate it so much.

00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:30.840

good dude and basket in the after globe, But still
277
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:16.759
more to do. Man, I will be pulling hard. I
278
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:18.639
didn't even know Nick BRONZENI was there. That's pretty cool.
279
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:21.080
So former LSU tiger on the Little Rock roster, I said,
280
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:23.799
Pitch started the championship game for him there in the regional,
281
00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:26.440
which is awesome. All right, it's after further review. Let
282
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:29.200
me knock out a quick break. We'll come back. Verge
283
00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:33.080
Asberry visited with Jacques du Say of WAFB. We opened
284
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.399
the show with some of Virge's comments about the future
285
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:37.799
of football scheduling. When we come back, I want to
286
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.240
talk at bit about what Verge said about this football
287
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.840
roster and ed Ojeron's return. We'll do that next one.
288
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:53.200
AFR AFR buying or selling, commercial or residential. I think
289
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:55.919

of work lined up, so you want overtime. They got
312
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.079
as much overtime as you want, so you never have

to a lot of places you want to hire and

Review powered by Sunshine Your Hometown, John Dear Dealer in Louisiana, she.
326
00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:07.720
Says she's not all right. Thanks for hanging out with
327
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:10.400
us here on a Tuesday edition of AFR. We do
328
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:12.839
always appreciate our friends at Sunshine your Hometown, John Deer
329
00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:16.039
Dealer in Louisiana. Thanks to the Little Rock coach Chris Curry,
330
00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:18.640
who's just with us. Took some time here as his
331
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:21.160
team's getting ready for Super Regional Man. There are two
332
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:24.640
wins away from going to Omaha. Got a text on
333
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:29.960
the show text line from Shawn who said, that's it.
334
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:31.680
If Little Rock makes it, we should start a petition
335
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:33.880
to get the LSU fans to Omaha and invade the stadium.
336
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.880
Jello Shot Champions. I had a bad idea. I Look,
337
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:39.400
there will be a lot of LSU fans that go
338
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:41.400
up to Omah anyway. I mean, we know that's been
339
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:43.279
I mean that's been a thing for thirty years. LSU
340
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:46.319
fans go up to Omaha, even if ls who's not there. No, naturally,
341
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:50.319
the the stadium is tilted heavily purple and gold when
342
00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:52.960
LSU does make it. But there's always an LSU presence
343
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:55.640
no matter what. I'd imagine if the Trojans are up there,
344
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:57.559
there'll be a lot of people maybe with LSU caps
345
00:18:57.559 --> 00:18:59.759
and little rock shirts or maybe vice versa. However that
346
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:02.119
makes go. But good luck to coach Curry will be
347
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:03.960
pulling for him. Hope it to hope it works out well.
348
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:09.400
Verge Ousbury LSU ad sat down with Jacques do Say
349
00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:11.920
and Verge was on on our show about a month
350
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:14.160
ago or so, and he's making the media rounds and
351
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:17.240
making himself accessible, which which is uh. I think it
352
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:19.359
is a good thing and everybody has a right to
353
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:22.200
do it however they want. Scott Woodward, often when he
354
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:25.880
was a d often said to us privately that he
355
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:28.559
wanted the coaches and that the athletes to be the
356
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:31.759
forward facing, the sort of face of the Athletic Department.
357
00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:34.240
That's not to suggest Verge doing interviews means he doesn't
358
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:37.359
want that. It's just he's making himself available. Scott would
359
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:39.359
often say, out listen, I'll answer your questions. We'll talk
360
00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:41.440
to you off the record, as I don't ever, I
361
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:44.279
don't want to come on radio or TV. So he
362
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:46.319
was accessible, but he was accessible in private and off
363
00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:48.880
the record. Uh, Verge is willing to come on air.
364
00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:51.960
Joe Oliva did a weekly segment for a while with
365
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:54.839
with Jordi and Derek when they were the morning show here.
366
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:58.359
So it's just different, a different ads handled it differently.
367
00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:03.119
Not that it's good to be, it's just different. And
368
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:05.640
Verge and Jacques covered a lot of ground and next
369
00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:07.960
hour I want to get into their talk about revenue
370
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:11.720
share and the international players in basketball and Jay's staff
371
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:13.880
and baseball and all that, so we do that next hour.
372
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:20.839
But he did talk about Verge did the a few
373
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:24.319
football topics, including bringing back at oseron. We'll get to
374
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:26.200
that in a second, but first he talked about sort
375
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:31.200
of the buy in from this football team with Lane
376
00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:32.400
Kiffen and this new staff.
377
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:34.839
It started workouts today but last week for the last
378
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:36.960
week and a half. You walking out building and the
379
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:40.039
whole team is there. I'm talking about national championship years
380
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.079
and the teams I've been around. I've been around three
381
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:44.359
of them, national championship teams. You kind of feel the
382
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:46.480
excitement in the building when you walk in. You feel
383
00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:49.000
all the players are working out doing the extra things.
384
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:50.720
And I watched this team and you walk in there
385
00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:53.000
last week, I thought everybody was back in that camp
386
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:56.119
has started. It's really started this week, but the whole team,
387
00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:59.480
everybody was there and it's voluntary, but all the players
388
00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:00.920
show it up and then it showed up and do
389
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:03.160
extra work afterwards. So that's what you see with this
390
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:05.640
football team here that you hadn't seen around here in
391
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:06.279
a long time.
392
00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:10.160
Remember last week was when a lot of the freshman
393
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:14.000
the incoming freshman class who weren't the early rollies, they
394
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:17.000
got to campus. So we also saw the video that
395
00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:19.960
it was posted at. Sam Levitt posted him dunking a
396
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:23.839
ball on the goalpost at the indoor last week. So
397
00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:27.240
guys have been around the facility and I would say,
398
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:32.200
I know we keep playing that SoundBite of Lane Kiffin
399
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:34.759
talking about how he tells the staff to evaluate character.
400
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:38.000
How important that is. It's always been important, maybe even
401
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:38.720
more so now.
402
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:39.559
You know.
403
00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:43.480
One of the things that we we would talk about
404
00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:45.759
for years when when Mike Detillier would come on this
405
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:47.920
show and it's a it was an NFL principle that
406
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:51.599
sort of is relevant in college now is Mike d
407
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:55.559
would say, you know, you never know how money might
408
00:21:55.720 --> 00:22:01.440
change a young person. It's why the pre draft evaluation
409
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:06.000
is so important to learn not only the player's physical ability,
410
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.079
the football acumen, but who they are as a person.
411
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:11.319
Because what you don't know is when you take a
412
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:14.279
twenty one to twenty two, twenty three year old young
413
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:18.160
person and you boom, drop millions of dollars on whether
414
00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:24.119
they came from money or not, how they react. Will
415
00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:26.759
the fire still burn? Will the work ethics still be there?
416
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:27.240
Well?
417
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:30.640
I think you have to naturally ask that question in
418
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:35.400
college athletics today. Once a player gets paid and that
419
00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:39.519
auto draft is going to hit every month, you know,
420
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:41.720
or that auto deposit is going to hit every two
421
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:45.200
weeks or every month, like, does the fire stay in
422
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:45.640
the belly?
423
00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:46.920
Like?
424
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:51.200
One of the more encouraging things I think from this
425
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:56.880
offseason was Jordan Seaton right from the time, remember when
426
00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:59.480
we saw those photos that those workout photos of Jordan
427
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:04.079
Seaton and I was lost. We lost twenty pounds, leaned out,
428
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:08.039
you know, bulked up, looks looked awesome. Well that's a
429
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:12.960
dude who left Colorado, came to LSU. Got what's been reported.
430
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:15.519
I don't know the number candidly, Whi's been reported four
431
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:20.759
million bucks or whatever it is. And it would be
432
00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:24.519
easy to say, great, got paid. You know, let's go
433
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:28.400
on vacations, have good meals, get in shape. Whenever we
434
00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:31.440
got to he went the other way. So I think
435
00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:33.799
that's really encouraging. I think that's what Verge is speaking
436
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:37.680
to there, and hopefully that is a pervasive attitude on
437
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.960
the entire rosters. Guys that are bought in and maybe
438
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:43.559
would seem to be Verge would certainly know. I mean
439
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:47.039
that football program is his baby. He's from Louisiana, New Iberia,
440
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:51.440
played at LSU, was the the associated in charge of
441
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:54.240
football scheduling for twenty years. I mean that's his thing.
442
00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:58.279
So being around the program and around the facility, he
443
00:23:58.279 --> 00:24:00.480
would know. Now. The other thing that the course is
444
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.880
fascinating was the decision to bring back at Ozon, which
445
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:08.039
may seem pretty obvious for all the reasons we've talked about,
446
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:13.240
But you're also re hiring someone who was fired, who
447
00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:17.559
you paid seventeen plus million dollars not to work, who
448
00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:20.920
was included and implicated in the Federal Title nine investigation.
449
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:25.759
I mean, there's a lot of blemishes there. But they
450
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:27.680
made the decision of bringing back for all the reasons
451
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:30.920
we've talked about from a football perspective, why it makes sense.
452
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:33.559
It makes sense. But Verge talked about that decision to
453
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:35.160
bring back at oson No.
454
00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:38.119
One thing that helps Lane. It helps the football program.
455
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:40.279
You know, he's beloved here. I mean, look at that
456
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:42.480
picture behind me. The best team in the history of
457
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:45.559
LSU football. He was the head coach, and it brings
458
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:47.920
back excitement. It brings back a lot of the former player,
459
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:50.200
especially the players doing that eur. It brings them back
460
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:52.599
back in the fold here at LSU. I think he
461
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:55.920
brings a lot of excitement into the building. You watched
462
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:58.519
his recruiting videos this weekend. Work with the number one
463
00:24:58.519 --> 00:25:00.960
defensive linment in the country. People like to see that.
464
00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:02.720
You know, before he came back, he was going around
465
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:04.920
the country speaking to a lot of institutions, a lot
466
00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:07.000
of schools, and a lot of coaches Will called me
467
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:08.720
and say, Wow, he was just so great to have
468
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:11.119
on our program and be around. And I think, you know,
469
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:13.359
we wanted to bring him back. He's a true Louisiana
470
00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:15.240
man and it's good to have him here at LSHA.
471
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:19.359
It's a great endorsement from Verge four coach. Of of course,
472
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:22.240
you know Verge was an associate a d when at
473
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:28.319
Ojerome was fired under Scott Woodward, but now had to
474
00:25:28.359 --> 00:25:30.400
effectively routine Now. Look, nobody's told Lane kiff and Know
475
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:31.920
for anything. But if there was something you could have
476
00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:34.079
told Know for, it would have been rehiring a coach.
477
00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:36.279
It was fired, paid seventeen million dollars to go away.
478
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:39.680
But you heard the first thing he said, It helps
479
00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:42.839
Lane you bring in ed who is a great recruiter
480
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:47.200
as we saw, great energy and a great defensive line coach.
481
00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:52.799
So I thought they're on on ed O coming back.
482
00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:55.720
The one other thing that I know LSU fans will
483
00:25:55.720 --> 00:26:02.799
be interested in is Lane Kiffin's social media absence. The
484
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:08.799
guy who uh tweeted, doesn't Lane Kiffen used to tweet
485
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:18.920
as much as Brennan Soresby would bet on his own team.
486
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:27.279
That's accurate. Yeah, I mean that's a lot. Lane hadn't
487
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:34.000
tweeted since he retweeted a post on May the eleventh
488
00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:38.839
about Peyton Houston May the eleventh, it's been almost a month.
489
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:44.640
Guy's been off of Twitter. I mean, I don't know
490
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:52.039
what's harder Lane, Quentin alcohol or Quentin Twitter. I don't
491
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:55.440
think I wouldn't. I wouldn't joke it. I mean, I'm serious.
492
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:03.920
They gets addictive, the Twitter machine. Anyway, here was that
493
00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:05.400
about Lane being off social media.
494
00:27:05.640 --> 00:27:07.920
I had nothing to do with that, you know, Lane,
495
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:10.759
Lane's Lane. You know one thing I don't I spoke
496
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:13.079
about it earlier. I don't try to change who my
497
00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:15.519
coaches are. You know, they are who they are. You know,
498
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:18.640
those personalities they have would make those guys around here
499
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:20.880
and we have a great group. You have you know,
500
00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:23.920
you have Lane, you have Jay, you have Will, you
501
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:26.559
have Jay Clark, you have Kim Molki. They are who
502
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:28.319
they are and I want that. I want them to
503
00:27:28.359 --> 00:27:30.000
have that. I don't want them to be like, Okay,
504
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:32.200
I'm gonna change who I am. No be who you are.
505
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:33.960
That's what makes them so successful.
506
00:27:35.359 --> 00:27:37.480
I look, I know there was a lot of there
507
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:40.799
were internet rumors that lsu had forced Lane Kiffing off
508
00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:43.079
of social media. I was to all the time that
509
00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:46.680
was categorically not true. Verge seemed to confirm that there
510
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:49.519
people believe what you want and believe what you want.
511
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:49.599
But.
512
00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:56.200
Sneaked suspicion he'll be back. Look. One of the Lane
513
00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:59.839
has talked often about why he's so outward on social
514
00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:05.240
medi and it's it's largely for recruiting purposes, because recruits
515
00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:08.599
and their parents feel like they know him, and he is.
516
00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:11.440
He is a famous coach, and be it social media,
517
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:13.039
are going on part of my take or doing the
518
00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:19.000
Vanity Fair interview or whatever it's. He's always going to
519
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:22.880
be very public and forward facing, clearly, and I'm sure
520
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:24.279
we'll be back on social media. But it was not
521
00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:28.799
a mandate from Verge in the athletic department. All right, y'all,
522
00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:33.079
it's after further review, halfway home here on a Tuesday
523
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:35.440
edition of AFR powered by Sunshine, your hometown John Deere
524
00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:38.279
dealer in Louisiana, taught to former Saint John stinchcom coming
525
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:40.720
up in about forty five minutes from right now. There's
526
00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:43.119
a few more from Verge that don't want to get to,
527
00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:47.680
including talking about revenue share, the international players of basketball,
528
00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:50.480
baseball staffs and stuff like that. So we'll get to
529
00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:51.960
that coming up in our number three let me not
530
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.880
kind of break. ESPN does have out its list of
531
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:01.279
the top one hundred newcomers for the twenty twenty sixth season,
532
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:04.799
and I hate a list. I think lists are stupid
533
00:29:05.079 --> 00:29:11.000
and largely pointless. I know there's one thing though, that
534
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:12.880
a notice is a trend. I want to build off
535
00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:15.839
of that, which we'll get to when we come back.
536
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:21.240

After for the review powered by Sunshine your hometown John
558
00:30:24.319 --> 00:30:26.119
Dear dealer in Louisiana.
559
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:28.759
She says she's not a dream man.
560
00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:30.440
I ask quaud idiots.
561
00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:34.440
She wants in her little farm, an a yard hits
562
00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:38.839
one Mortainy Wainy ride before Rod take her home.
563
00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:43.359
She thanks my tractor sex.
564
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:51.319
Get it turns Oh that Garth Brooks plays the hits.
565
00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:56.720
It's not It's not Garth, you know, it's not Garth
566
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:08.480
Whaling a little different than Whylan Jennings. Yeah, Johnny Cash
567
00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:16.640
Love not the Man in Black, not Hims. Darius Rutger,
568
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:19.160
noted country star Darius.
569
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:22.279
Rutger, he's a country star, not this country star.
570
00:31:24.680 --> 00:31:29.519
Well, whatever you like, John dear By the way, not
571
00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:34.960
just tractors, gators, zero turn mowers, generators, not to start
572
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:37.440
your portable generators. Not start thinking about your portable generator
573
00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:40.079
for your tailgates come football season, get those at Sunshine
574
00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:46.799
your hometown, John Deer Dealer in Louisiana. The ESPN put
575
00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:55.319
out a uh, it's uh, it's list season, it's this season,
576
00:31:58.400 --> 00:32:01.720
it's less season, and no, it's time for feigned indignance
577
00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:05.720
from sports talk radio guy over random summertime sports lists.
578
00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:07.400
I'm not even gonna do that right now. I'm going
579
00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:09.960
to yell about this. I hate lists. I think they're lazy,
580
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:12.160
and it's what people do who need content to write
581
00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:14.000
in the summer, who don't have any better ideas. They
582
00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:18.119
put lists out. One thing that I it just doesn't matter.
583
00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:21.480
So ESPN did a list of the top one hundred newcomers,
584
00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:23.400
and it doesn't matter what they or anyone think. Who HI,
585
00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:26.720
your ranking or whatever, And I don't really care about
586
00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:31.200
their list. I noticed a trend though, that sort of
587
00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:39.680
speaks to something that I think is developing as we
588
00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:42.480
look at how Lane Kiff and Billy Glasscock are building
589
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:46.039
the LSU football roster and where they're investing their resources.
590
00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:50.000
So I've talked about this a little bit already. We
591
00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:53.279
get I've gotten asked a lot of people can't understand
592
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:58.880
why LSU, who seemingly was leading for Joshua Dobson, the
593
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:01.599
five star, number one corner in the country for twenty
594
00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:05.400
twenty seven. LSU was leading for Dobson all along and
595
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:10.680
now he's not even considering LSU anymore. What happened, Well,
596
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:14.920
he's pretty obvious, Like, financially, ls who isn't going to
597
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:18.440
invest in a five star freshman cornerback for twenty twenty
598
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:21.640
seven When you're gonna have DJ Pickett back, you very
599
00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:25.440
likely can have PJ. Woodland back, Shakiem Jackson, Havin Finney
600
00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:29.200
and Nandy coming off of injury. Like, why would you
601
00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:32.319
spend all this money to have a freshman who may
602
00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:36.599
not play invest that money elsewhere in positions of need
603
00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:39.839
in the portal for twenty twenty seven? It makes a
604
00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:40.799
lot of sense. I don't know, it makes a lot
605
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:44.960
of sense to me. But I think we're also seeing where,
606
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:49.240
like what positions they are willing to invest, like where
607
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:57.079
they prioritize roster positional value. And so you look at
608
00:33:57.079 --> 00:34:00.279
the players listed on the ESPN thing. They've got Sam
609
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:04.880
Levitt number three in the country, quarterback Jordan's Seaton number
610
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:09.599
five in the country. Transfer left tackle Prince will Luman
611
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:11.880
Miellen number seven in the country. So set three at
612
00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:17.679
the top. Seven edge rusher, Ty Benefield number thirteen, safety
613
00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:24.880
number thirty six, Deuce Gerald's freshman defensive lineman number fifty four,
614
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:28.280
Jace Brown transfer wide receiver number eighty eight, Lamar Brown,
615
00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:34.039
freshman edge rusher. You don't see cornerback, you don't see
616
00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:37.519
interior offensive line. You don't see tight end, you don't
617
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:41.920
see running back. So think about it, like where they
618
00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:46.920
invest well at cornerback, they invested in the guys already
619
00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:53.840
on the roster, Pickett Woodland. At interior offensive line, they
620
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:57.840
retained Braylan Moore and added Alu bah.
621
00:34:59.559 --> 00:34:59.960
Portal.
622
00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:04.840
At tight end, they paid trade as Green Now they
623
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:09.800
added Zach Grace. They brought in a freshman part of
624
00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:13.239
this tight end class as well. They added Malachi Thomas
625
00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:17.280
from Pitt. They added three tight ends, but where they
626
00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:23.360
spent was retaining trade s. Running backs. They spent to
627
00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:27.760
retain Harlem Barry. They added four portal running backs, but
628
00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:32.280
none of them were top portal guys. They spent on Barry,
629
00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:36.000
and so I think, what's very obvious or what's becoming
630
00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:38.840
let me say it this way, what's becoming clearer to me? Anyway,
631
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:41.880
how Lane Kiffin and Billy glass Cock are building their
632
00:35:41.960 --> 00:35:47.480
roster and where they're allocating funds is there are positions
633
00:35:48.159 --> 00:35:51.960
where they want experienced guys, and that's where they'll spend
634
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:55.480
their money. Like Harlan Berry's in experienced running back that
635
00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:59.800
they wanted back, They'll spend there on Harlem Levitt. You've
636
00:35:59.800 --> 00:36:02.440
got to spend to have a great quarterback. Levin got it.
637
00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:07.440
Left tackle, they're not gonna spend on a freshman left
638
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:14.159
tackle Seaton out of the portal done defensive line, maybe
639
00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:18.599
it's Prince Willlumnt Miellen, maybe it's Lamar Brown. You can
640
00:36:18.719 --> 00:36:21.679
rotate your defensive line and multiple guys are gonna play.
641
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:26.079
So even if it is Lamar Brown, Deuce Gerald's, Richard Anderson,
642
00:36:26.159 --> 00:36:29.039
Prince willlu Montmeel and Jordan Ross, they'll spend because you
643
00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:31.519
can play more of them. You're not rotating left tackles.
644
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:34.440
You're hopefully playing one that stays healthy, so you go
645
00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:36.960
spend on it out of the portal, not out of
646
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:39.920
the freshman class, which is why I think you you're
647
00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:42.559
gonna con So I don't think you're gonna see LSU
648
00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:47.760
land a top tier freshman offensive tackle for the class
649
00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:49.480
of twenty twenty seven. I just don't think they're gonna
650
00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:54.000
spend on any of the top guys. If there's a
651
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:56.639
a three star or four star from Louisiana who's willing
652
00:36:56.639 --> 00:36:59.079
to come and sit and wait his turn and develop, Okay,
653
00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:01.320
but that's not gonna break the bank on that guy.
654
00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:05.239
Not saying you won't add a tackle. I'm saying, as
655
00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:09.000
you're not gonna spend on an elite high school tackle,
656
00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:12.639
because do you really want a freshman left tackle. I mean,
657
00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:14.559
you did that with Will Campbell a couple of years ago,
658
00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:17.280
and Will is great, like literally the best one ever
659
00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:22.159
at this program. But that's not you would rather have
660
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:24.400
Jordan Seaton who's gonna play season at LSU and go
661
00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:27.599
be a top ten pick if he stays healthy. So
662
00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:32.079
I think that's what we keep seeing is the more
663
00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:35.199
stuff like this comes out, the more we see official
664
00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:38.360
visits and where they're focusing and allocating resources. It's we're
665
00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:42.920
learning positional value where this staff is willing to spend

Oh, it's after further review. Glad you're a board with
693
00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:01.239
us here. Used to do Tigers in the pros. To
694
00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:03.639
wrap up out number two in just a smidge, John
695
00:39:03.679 --> 00:39:06.239
stingch comes with us in thirty minutes from right Now.
696
00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:11.639
Yesterday on the show, we briefly talked about about Pete Golding,
697
00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:16.039
who did an interview with It did an interview with
698
00:39:16.079 --> 00:39:20.480
Chris low from on three and effectively, i'll paraphrase it,
699
00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:23.320
he never considered going to LSU. We talked about here
700
00:39:23.320 --> 00:39:25.480
on the show yesterday. I did a Locked on LSU
701
00:39:25.519 --> 00:39:26.960
episode about if you want to go check it out
702
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:31.599
podcast YouTube, just search locked on LSU and I think
703
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:35.599
I've looked at some texts and some of the pushback
704
00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:37.400
on that some people have gotten saying that they believe
705
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:40.159
Peak Golding had no interest in coaching LSU. There was
706
00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:41.960
one gentleman named Paul who texted me. He said, you know,
707
00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:44.719
Peak Golding probably didn't love LSU's no love lost there.
708
00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:49.119
I think it's important to remember it in number one.
709
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:51.000
That has nothing to do with whether someone loves La
710
00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:54.320
Shoort or does it even though Pete's from Louisiana. It's
711
00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:57.800
about would you've had a job. And I'm talking about
712
00:39:57.840 --> 00:40:00.480
like early in the process, when Kiffen was con considering,
713
00:40:01.519 --> 00:40:04.000
you know, wang would he come to LSU Florida? When
714
00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:05.280
it was clear to me and a lot of other
715
00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:07.559
people he was one thing was certain he was leaving
716
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:09.719
all Miss. It was just would it be LSU or Florida.
717
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:13.679
And what I said was I was told at the
718
00:40:13.719 --> 00:40:18.639
time that Pete Golding was making calls two coaches to
719
00:40:18.719 --> 00:40:21.360
gauge interest if they would join his defensive staff at LSU.
720
00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:23.760
Now I'm very glad, but the way that it worked
721
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:26.679
out because I would rather have Blake Baker than Pete Golding.
722
00:40:26.920 --> 00:40:29.280
But at the time Pete Golding didn't know he was
723
00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:30.960
going to be the head coach at ole Miss At
724
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:34.760
the time, the thought was if Kiffin left, Joe Judge
725
00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:37.000
would be elevated to the interim while they went and
726
00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:38.760
looked for a new coach. But as it all happened,
727
00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:42.320
they they were late because Keith Carter was convinced Lane
728
00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:44.960
Kiffin was coming back. Was a miss by Keith Carter,
729
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:47.360
and so they missed on an opportunity to tire Summer all.
730
00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:49.639
They were going to pivot to Alex Goldish. There were
731
00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:51.880
some people within that program that were not very happy
732
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:53.840
about that, and so they made their decision to elevate
733
00:40:53.880 --> 00:40:56.480
Pete Golding, which is something Pete didn't know for the
734
00:40:56.480 --> 00:41:00.119
two weeks prior. But what he did know was if
735
00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:02.519
lank Given left, whoever the new coach was at all
736
00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:05.239
miss wasn't guaranteed to keep Peek holding, So naturally you move.
737
00:41:05.280 --> 00:41:07.400
It doesn't matter if you like Lsu or not. All
738
00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:10.320
that to say, I don't know that it it doesn't matter.
739
00:41:11.559 --> 00:41:14.440
It's just for the sake of having an aunt something
740
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:19.360
for the record out there publicly, because as we know,
741
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:22.239
your revision is history is a real thing. You know,
742
00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:24.159
the whole story of the fish you caught that's this
743
00:41:24.199 --> 00:41:26.320
big and as time goes it's this bigger, then this big,
744
00:41:26.320 --> 00:41:28.679
and then this big. Like what we need is a
745
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:30.480
photo of the fish that you actually call it, so
746
00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:32.000
for all time we could see no like the fish
747
00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:34.880
was this big. And that's the point you're talking about
748
00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:38.119
stuff like this. You don't get to reshape history to
749
00:41:38.159 --> 00:41:41.119
make it fit whatever narrative that you're trying to have
750
00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:43.719
out there for whatever reason. All right, it's after further
751
00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:44.920
of you. We'll not got a quick break. Me use
752
00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:49.119
to do tigers in the pros next, kfr man. If
753
00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:52.800
you are thinking about putting in a pool, call Duplessis Pools.
754
00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:54.840
And when I say call Duplusus Pools, what I really
755
00:41:54.880 --> 00:41:57.800
mean is call Derek Dupleuses. Listen, his name is on
756
00:41:57.840 --> 00:42:00.639
the business. But when I talk about plus his pools,
757
00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:05.840
I'm talking about Derek Dupluses, who's a great dude from Louisiana.
758
00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:11.840
Went to LSU, graduated as a mechanical engineer, was working
759
00:42:11.960 --> 00:42:15.000
as a mechanical engineer when he decided he wanted to pivot.
760
00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:18.400
Started his pool company and now one of the fastest
761
00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:22.320
growing pool companies in America and voted by Pool and
762
00:42:22.360 --> 00:42:26.000
SPA magazine a top fifty pool builder in America. Last year.
763
00:42:26.639 --> 00:42:31.079
Think about that top fifty pool builder in America. Lots
764
00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:33.960
of people build you a beautiful pool, and Derek's no different.
765
00:42:33.960 --> 00:42:36.360
He'll build you a beautiful custom pool, but he's also
766
00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:38.880
going to use his engineering background to take the time
767
00:42:38.920 --> 00:42:41.519
to do it right, to make sure it lasts ten
768
00:42:41.599 --> 00:42:45.800
year workmanship warranty and exceptional customer service because his ethics
769
00:42:46.039 --> 00:42:49.360
and commitment to you du plusespools dot Com.
770
00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:54.280
After for the review powered by Sunshine, your hometown John
771
00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:56.880
Deere dealer in Louisiana.

She thanks my tractor, She thanks all right, wrapping about
773
00:43:03.480 --> 00:43:08.719
number two, Thanks for hanging out with us here. Averge
774
00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:13.440
Ausbury did in fact discuss future broath share the international
775
00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:17.440
basketball transfers that will cause so much controversial around. We'll
776
00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:18.800
wade do that in the interview with Jacques. You say,
777
00:43:18.840 --> 00:43:20.360
got some you'll hear got some thoughts of that coming
778
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:22.079
up here in about ten minutes. Right now, I'm you
779
00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:24.239
Sue Tigers in the prose.
780
00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:30.719
Tigers in the pros they still bleed purple and gold.
781
00:43:31.079 --> 00:43:32.719
They're just really rich.
782
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:38.480
Now by seven, put fourth by Alex Laying on Monday
783
00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:41.920
Night and the Royals win over the Reds one shutout
784
00:43:41.920 --> 00:43:46.199
inning of relief, no hits, no walks, laying struck out
785
00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:52.159
two nine pitches, eight strikes. He just missed the immaculate
786
00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:56.920
inning there did Laying by one strike, but ultimately was
787
00:43:57.000 --> 00:43:59.000
perfect and lowered the e r E to four and
788
00:43:59.039 --> 00:44:04.079
a half a hill kind of a so so deal
789
00:44:04.119 --> 00:44:07.039
for him. A third of an inning. He didn't give
790
00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:07.920
up a hit, but he.
791
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:09.679
Walked to guys and gave up two runs.
792
00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:13.159
But he still didn't surrender the lead and got his
793
00:44:13.400 --> 00:44:14.960
tenth hold of the year.
794
00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:17.039
His really good first half continues.
795
00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:20.159
The era sports just round three to four for the
796
00:44:20.159 --> 00:44:24.119
former Tiger Cole Henry. He was on the bump for
797
00:44:24.239 --> 00:44:27.519
the Nationals in the final inning of that ball game.
798
00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:30.840
Got us some mop up duty inning three hits, gave
799
00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:33.599
up three earned, did punch out to two balls left
800
00:44:33.639 --> 00:44:36.480
the yard against him. Of course, an injury kind of
801
00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:39.199
slowed was a fast start, so he's working his way back,
802
00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:41.519
needing to need to get back.
803
00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:42.039
On track there.
804
00:44:42.199 --> 00:44:44.039
Dylan Cruz did appear in the game, but that was
805
00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:48.079
as a pinch runner fla Je Johnson for the Seattle
806
00:44:48.199 --> 00:44:53.440
Storm double double last night for the rookie sixteen points,
807
00:44:53.599 --> 00:44:57.840
ten rebounds in that ball game, her sixteen points led
808
00:44:58.239 --> 00:45:01.000
the Storm in scoring. They did take it on the
809
00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:03.239
chin pretty good last night in that one though, and
810
00:45:03.280 --> 00:45:05.639
then a pair of former Tigers matching off tonight in
811
00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:09.519
the WNBA, Anista Moro and the Connecticut Sun visit Angel
812
00:45:09.519 --> 00:45:12.199
Reese and the Atlanta Dream that's Tigers and pros.
813
00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:15.119
Last night was over at Traction for Traction Fest, which
814
00:45:15.199 --> 00:45:17.519
was sponsored in part by Our Lady of the Lake,
815
00:45:17.599 --> 00:45:22.039
Championship Health partner of LSU Athletics obviously partnered with Attraction
816
00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:25.119
as well. Really cool so Attractions Canes Fest their youth
817
00:45:25.159 --> 00:45:27.760
baseball league do big celebration at the end of the season,
818
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:30.280
and it was great to be out there with Aaron
819
00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:37.239
Cox from OLOL and the FMOL Health System. A friend
820
00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:39.760
Diana as well was out there. Dana Malssile is great
821
00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:43.480
to see her, great people throughout the entire organization and
822
00:45:43.519 --> 00:45:46.880
the twenty thousand strongest part of the FMOL Health System,
823
00:45:46.920 --> 00:45:48.719
and of course at Our Lady the Lake. They are
824
00:45:48.840 --> 00:45:52.079
LSU's Championship Health partners so many ways obviously that they
825
00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:55.239
serve this community in Baton Rouge, but the entire state
826
00:45:55.280 --> 00:45:58.000
of Louisiana parts of Mississippi is a multi state health
827
00:45:58.039 --> 00:46:01.119
system of five billion dollars health system. They're so massive,
828
00:46:01.599 --> 00:46:05.920
but they give such incredible care in so many different ways.
829
00:46:05.960 --> 00:46:08.519
Just a day ago, I was there for my annual
830
00:46:08.559 --> 00:46:11.320
physical at the Lake with doctor Curtis Chsting, part of
831
00:46:11.320 --> 00:46:14.719
the Lake Men's Health Group, and I always encourage you
832
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:17.199
