1:34
1 minute, 34 seconds
Everything’s great. The the weather’s changing. High school playoff start this week. The LSU Tigers got a massive game on Saturday. Uh I mean, even the LSU
1:42
1 minute, 42 seconds
basketball team, I’m going to keep an eye [laughter] on the on the on the you know, Will Wade taking that money and going to Gonzaga. So, there’s a lot for
1:49
1 minute, 49 seconds
the Tigers going on this weekend in in sports in general.
1:53
1 minute, 53 seconds
Well, yeah. You and you forgot the big battle for first place in the NFC South this Sunday in the dome, too. So, you got that going for NFC [laughter]
2:01
2 minutes, 1 second
South supremacy is on the line. And guys, Saints got I hate to say must win at like three and five, but their next
2:08
2 minutes, 8 seconds
three games after today are the at the at the Bears, at the Bengals, and host the Packers. They’re a combined 19 and
2:16
2 minutes, 16 seconds
seven, those three teams, and they’re all Super Bowl contenders. So if you lose this week, you’re looking at three and nine probably. Like you’re probably going to lose you’re going to probably lose all three of those games.
2:26
2 minutes, 26 seconds
The the NFC South winner ought to have to play in a playin [laughter] game. It’s embarrassing, man. That’s a good Glenn. I I like that one.
2:34
2 minutes, 34 seconds
And it’s so crazy that you get to host the playoff game if you win your division.
2:39
2 minutes, 39 seconds
Yeah. Like when Seattle hosted the Saints, you remember that at seven and in the stadium. Me too. and I was in the stadium for Beastquake and um yeah, that
2:48
2 minutes, 48 seconds
was a messy game and you know it just gives the Saints sometimes a false sense of entitlement that they’re in the mix
2:56
2 minutes, 56 seconds
for a playoff spot because if they were in the NFC North, the season would be over with already. Oh yeah, for sure.
3:02
3 minutes, 2 seconds
Well, Garland, what you you follow LSU very closely. You’re an AP pole voter still, right?
3:08
3 minutes, 8 seconds
Yes, sir. 18 years, right? Exactly. Yeah. What what um what do you think of LSU’s chances against
3:15
3 minutes, 15 seconds
Texas that I’m I’m concerned for the Tigers because Alabama’s defense played so well against
3:22
3 minutes, 22 seconds
LSU and I think Texas’s defense is better than Alabama’s. How do you see this game coming out?
3:29
3 minutes, 29 seconds
Yeah, so it’s kind of bizarre that LSU’s favored in this game, but you know, Vegas, it’s hard to figure out. They’re trying to get money on both sides. Uh
3:37
3 minutes, 37 seconds
Arch Manning has been redot these last few games and you could say the same going into the Bama game with Sam Lev. I mean he had seven touchdown passes, zero
3:45
3 minutes, 45 seconds
picks. Arch has those same kind of numbers. Um it’s just crazy that this is the first time they’re playing since 2019. I was at that game in Austin. Uh
3:53
3 minutes, 53 seconds
probably one of the greatest LSU games I’ve ever covered. That whole season was a just a crazy experience. U I Glenn, I
4:01
4 minutes, 1 second
think that LSU can get back and win this game. Now, I know everybody’s talking about their chance at the College Playoff. I’m like, slow down. Let’s just
4:08
4 minutes, 8 seconds
go week to week here, okay? Because you got Texas this week. Obviously, you got at Tennessee the week after. Those are insane top 10 matchups. So, let’s just
4:16
4 minutes, 16 seconds
focus on this one. I think they can get back to their winning ways. It’s a night game in Tiger Stadium. I’m intrigued to see the first availability report on
4:25
4 minutes, 25 seconds
Wednesday. Is when is Cam Coleman coming back? Because that’s one of Arch Manning’s biggest weapons. But, uh, you know, Arch is excited. this his only
4:33
4 minutes, 33 seconds
chance to play in Tiger Stadium possibly. You never know what what happens with his career where he’s at next season. We’ll see. But, uh, this
4:41
4 minutes, 41 seconds
season this will be it. And, you know, uh, never really had an had an option of going to Baton Rouge. It was never made
4:48
4 minutes, 48 seconds
his top five. He came and did a visit in the summer that was not an official visit, but he came with a few of his teammates. So, this is his one chance. I
4:57
4 minutes, 57 seconds
know Cooper will be in the house. Uh, Archie will not be in the house. I know uh uh Arch’s other grandfather, the one that people don’t realize, you know,
5:05
5 minutes, 5 seconds
talk about as much, Dr. Hiding, he’ll be there also. So, uh they’ll be in the suite. They won’t be in the stands, but they’ll be there.
5:12
5 minutes, 12 seconds
Yeah. I was just going to say, what do you think this this game, you know, back in Louisiana, uh a Manning, the third
5:19
5 minutes, 19 seconds
Manning to play after Archie and Eli in Tiger Stadium? It’s it’s too bad Archie can’t go, but just what do you think it means to the Manning family?
5:28
5 minutes, 28 seconds
Yeah, this is going to be a special game. Um, I know that that Arch was talking to the media in Austin yesterday and he said there’s really no legacy uh
5:38
5 minutes, 38 seconds
with his family there. None of his family members ever went to LSU, but he has gone to games at LSU. The last time
5:44
5 minutes, 44 seconds
he was at an LSU game was 2018 when Jake from and the Georgia Bulldogs came to Baton Rouge to play uh Joe
5:52
5 minutes, 52 seconds
Burrow. Uh Jake from was Arch Manning’s uh Manning Passing Academy counselor, so
5:59
5 minutes, 59 seconds
he came to support, you know, Jake from and see him. But they all of Arch’s friends were all wearing LSU gear for that game. So uh this will be an
6:07
6 minutes, 7 seconds
intriguing uh reunion kind of, you know, I’m sure a lot of his, you know, high school friends are coming to this game.
6:14
6 minutes, 14 seconds
You know, some of his, you know, some of his classmates from high school went to LSU, so they will be in the house. So this is a cool thing. I know it’s not,
6:21
6 minutes, 21 seconds
you know, he’s a New Orleans guy, but this is only an hour away.
6:25
6 minutes, 25 seconds
Garland, you mention mentioned the SEC availability port report from the Texas perspective already, but there will be some big names on there for LSU, too. Of
6:32
6 minutes, 32 seconds
course, Whit Weeks. We’ll see kind of what his status is heading into the week, but I wanted to ask you about Weston Davis. You know, he exited that
6:39
6 minutes, 39 seconds
game and Shawn Tomkins, I won’t say, looked spectacular, uh, replacing him and he’s going to have a big test going
6:46
6 minutes, 46 seconds
up against Colin Simmons potentially for Texas. How big of a concern is that for you on the right end of the offensive line?
6:52
6 minutes, 52 seconds
Yeah, so Weston Davis looked in pretty bad shape. I was on the field shooting the game. You know, I shoot I report I do it all, so I get to be on the field, but Weston Davis was like in crutches.
7:03
7 minutes, 3 seconds
He did not look good. Sean Tommpkins uh PFF grade, now I know that’s not the end all the beall, but his his PFF grade was pretty weak uh in that game on Saturday.
7:13
7 minutes, 13 seconds
A tough situation for him. Yeah, that that’s a big concern. Uh because as Glenn pointed out, Texas defense has been looking pretty sharp. Had a really
7:21
7 minutes, 21 seconds
good game on the road at Missou. Uh the Old Miss game got a lot of hand on the back end, but they still got that win.
7:27
7 minutes, 27 seconds
Uh Texas has beaten four top 25 teams, so they’re they’re they’re cruising right now. I mean, I know they took a lot of hate uh when they lost backtoback
7:36
7 minutes, 36 seconds
Oklahoma and Florida, but they’re getting this thing in shape, and it’s going to be I think it’s going to be a tight game. A really tight game. And I
7:44
7 minutes, 44 seconds
do have concerns. At least Sam Levit’s back to it appears 100% cuz he’s probably going to be running a lot again this week like he did against Alabama.
7:52
7 minutes, 52 seconds
Garland, you mentioned you weren’t sure where Arch might be next year. He So he could return to Texas or transfer
7:59
7 minutes, 59 seconds
because of the new uh five and five rule, right? He could be a senior next season. Yes. Yes.
8:05
8 minutes, 5 seconds
Do you think there’s a chance? You think there’s a chance? Go ahead.
8:09
8 minutes, 9 seconds
Yeah. No. Yeah. His first year at Texas was 2023, so he can definitely has the opportunity to come back to uh to Texas.
8:19
8 minutes, 19 seconds
We’ll see. I mean, I’m sure Miami is going to throw some insane amount of money at a quarterback again for what
8:26
8 minutes, 26 seconds
the fourth year in a row um between what you had Cam Ward, you had Carson back,
8:34
8 minutes, 34 seconds
and then you had Darren Mensah. So, uh Miami is definitely going to throw. I’m not reporting that that’s a place he can go, but uh that would definitely be an
8:41
8 minutes, 41 seconds
option also. But right now, it it seems that uh he’s going to come back for another season. I think his draft prospects are taking a hit and I think that’s going to be the right move.
8:51
8 minutes, 51 seconds
So he’s if he does, excuse me, if he does not go pro, he’s probably not a firstrounder. You don’t think?
8:58
8 minutes, 58 seconds
Right. So I think Glenn, if he came out and went into the draft, somebody would take a shot on him in the first round.
9:06
9 minutes, 6 seconds
Okay. Um, but I think that he wants to go I mean, every kid’s dream is to go top five. Sure.
9:13
9 minutes, 13 seconds
And I don’t know if that’s there right now for Arch. I just I I think that maybe he needs a little more seasoning.
9:19
9 minutes, 19 seconds
But Glenn, we last year, if he would have gone out, I think he’d have been number one overall over Fernando Mendoza because the upside is just so so too is
9:29
9 minutes, 29 seconds
so much for for Arch this year. if he did go in the NFL draft, somebody’s taking a swing in him, especially Glenn,
9:38
9 minutes, 38 seconds
um a team on the back end of the first round that doesn’t have an opportunity usually to go for a quarterback like who’s drafting between 25 and 32. Uh
9:46
9 minutes, 46 seconds
somebody that can sit behind one of these stud quarterbacks that’s going to be on a Super Bowl contender. So, if he does go out, I think he does go in the first round. I just don’t think he’s
9:54
9 minutes, 54 seconds
going to be number one overall if he does go out. But, I think he right now, I don’t have any inside knowledge. I I I
10:01
10 minutes, 1 second
think that he might come back for another year.
10:03
10 minutes, 3 seconds
Do you think anything uh changes with that if Texas, I don’t know, gets healthy, gets it together, and goes on a deep playoff run here? And do you think that’s a likely possibility for the Longhorns?
10:12
10 minutes, 12 seconds
That that that could that can no doubt happen for the Longhorns. What after this week, they still have&m, which is absolutely flailing. Uh Texas uh in the
10:21
10 minutes, 21 seconds
rankings is so high right now that there is an opportunity even if they lose the game as a three loss team. Now, I know the college playoffs not in the uh
10:29
10 minutes, 29 seconds
business of taking three lost teams in the regular season. They lost three games. I know Alabama last year lost their third game in the SEC
10:36
10 minutes, 36 seconds
championship. Um but no, they do go do a deep playoff run and then maybe things can change. I’m not giving end all to be
10:43
10 minutes, 43 seconds
all. I just right now don’t think that Arch is going to go in the top five of the NFL draft as he went after this year, but I think he would go in the first round. But if he gets another
10:51
10 minutes, 51 seconds
year, um, you know, that if he doesn’t go to back to Texas, there’s going to be a lot of money thrown at him to go to somewhere else.
10:59
10 minutes, 59 seconds
So, you don’t think Arch is going to transfer to LSU, do you? [laughter] I wonder [snorts] what dad what grandpa
11:06
11 minutes, 6 seconds
would say about that. [laughter] No. I And and I saw Todd Mcshay threw out the opport the possibility that we go to like Will Stein in Kentucky. I I
11:15
11 minutes, 15 seconds
don’t see Yeah. Arch Manning going to Kentucky. That’s not that that that’s not the cream of the crop there. It would be, you know, Georgia was one of
11:24
11 minutes, 24 seconds
the schools that was down to the final list of his and what Gunnar Stockton might be gone after this year. So, you
11:31
11 minutes, 31 seconds
know, um th those would be opportunities where Georgia, possibly Miami, but you know, right now he he’s focused on LSU,
11:39
11 minutes, 39 seconds
but those are going to be something to look at in in January.
11:42
11 minutes, 42 seconds
Garland, how would you how would you assess Sam Levit’s season here at LSU?
11:48
11 minutes, 48 seconds
I think it’s been a disappointment. They spent a lot of money on this guy. $4.5 million. He’s a guy that’s definitely coming back next year. I would assume
11:56
11 minutes, 56 seconds
maybe it’s at LSU. We’ll see. Uh but I I I expected much more out of Sam Levit. I know that he’s been dealing with some
12:04
12 minutes, 4 seconds
injuries, but his performance on Saturday isn’t worth what they’re paying for him. Uh maybe he’ll turn it around
12:10
12 minutes, 10 seconds
against the uh Texas Longhorns in the University of Tennessee. But he was another guy before the season started.
12:17
12 minutes, 17 seconds
He was a possible first round pick. If you looked at M McShay’s mock draft in the summer, he was a first round pick.
12:24
12 minutes, 24 seconds
And that there there’s zero chance that he would either go first round. He might even go to like fifth, sixth, or seventh round now. So he definitely needs more
12:32
12 minutes, 32 seconds
seasoning. He will be back next year. Is it at LSU? I don’t know that yet what their plans are.
12:38
12 minutes, 38 seconds
Do you think that decision would be would come from Sam Levit’s side or from LSU not trying to retain intriguing? Yeah, because you know that
12:45
12 minutes, 45 seconds
Lane and and if Charlie Weiss is back next year, they’re going to definitely see who what’s out there. And Levit, you
12:53
12 minutes, 53 seconds
know, he didn’t he’s he’s had a rough season. A lot of interceptions, interceptions in seven of their nine games this year. The only ones he didn’t
13:00
13 minutes
throw picks were the last two leading in to the uh the game against Alabama last week. And he had a a terrible
13:07
13 minutes, 7 seconds
interception in that game. Um, yeah, I I wasn’t it was 13 points against against Alabama. That that’s just it’s not going
13:14
13 minutes, 14 seconds
to cut it there. It’s I would say this season is a disappointment for Sam Leven. He might say the same.
13:19
13 minutes, 19 seconds
Garland, we got a minute left. Who was in your top five when you uh submitted your ballot?
13:25
13 minutes, 25 seconds
So, I actually went a little different than a lot of people did. I actually put Notre Dame number one because they their only loss was to BYU,
13:33
13 minutes, 33 seconds
a top 15 team. They beat the number one team in America. And I know Georgia was number one. I can’t shake out of my mind
13:42
13 minutes, 42 seconds
losing Auburn that Georgia lost to Auburn. Like that is that is an absolutely ghastly loss.
13:47
13 minutes, 47 seconds
Like in a terrible loss. [laughter] Now I know that the Georgia uh Georgia reinvigorated a program losing to
13:54
13 minutes, 54 seconds
Auburn. I just cannot shake that loss because Notre Dame beat the number one team in America and Georgia had some
14:02
14 minutes, 2 seconds
great wins and that that’s one thing I can’t shake right now. Now, there’s gonna be some other games and some things will change, but right now I actually I think I’m one of five voters that took Notre Dame number one.
14:13
14 minutes, 13 seconds
And you’re Catholic. You’re Catholic.
14:14
14 minutes, 14 seconds
That That’s what it’s [laughter] all about.
14:18
14 minutes, 18 seconds
Well, I’m uh I didn’t know we’re talking politics and religion on [laughter] Yeah. You never know what’s going to happen on Tiger Egg Radio, buddy.
14:27

Tiger Rag Radio is back on the air.
15:05
15 minutes, 5 seconds
Back here on Tiger Rag Radio. Next segment, uh, we’ll give you a scout and report on the Texas Longhorns. Kirk BS,
15:13
15 minutes, 13 seconds
who’s been covering Texas for a long time. He now writes for the Houston Chronicle. He will join us. Was wondering if I could get your guys take
15:21
15 minutes, 21 seconds
on this. I mean, this is something that I’m especially you’re hearing, I think maybe nationally for especially those that are are not big Lane Kein fan, Lane
15:30
15 minutes, 30 seconds
Kein fans, they’re bringing this up quite a bit. Kein holds an overall record of 15 and 27 against AP top 25
15:38
15 minutes, 38 seconds
opponents. He’s 12 and 26 against teams in the top 20, 10- 21 versus teams in the top 15, 6-8 against teams in the top 10.
15:49
15 minutes, 49 seconds
uh in ranked versus ranked matchups, top 25, 12 and 15 and of course against Alabama he’s 0 and6 and I do feel like
15:58
15 minutes, 58 seconds
Alabama’s a bit in his head. Um do those numbers mean anything to you or do you you say hey that was at Old Miss he
16:05
16 minutes, 5 seconds
didn’t have the resources and all this other stuff or he was trying to build something there. He took a program that was really floundering and it took him a
16:13
16 minutes, 13 seconds
while to really build it up. Give it a couple more years and it will be really rocking and rolling here at LSU.
16:19
16 minutes, 19 seconds
I think he’s the the right coach for the LSU program right now. I think that he had that record for the most part when
16:27
16 minutes, 27 seconds
they hired him. I think they evaluated that and made the decision to still bring him in and I think that’s the right decision.
16:33
16 minutes, 33 seconds
Yeah. A lot of that is he went into programs that were in a lot of trouble.
16:39
16 minutes, 39 seconds
You know, Tennessee had had not been winning for a while. Uh, Old Miss had been terrible and and was on and had some
16:48
16 minutes, 48 seconds
probation when they were winning. So, uh, and then he go he goes into an LSU program where, you know, he felt and I
16:56
16 minutes, 56 seconds
think most people would have felt he had to redo the whole roster. So, he he’s been to, uh, rebuilding places, FAU, too. Don’t forget about that.
17:05
17 minutes, 5 seconds
And he actually had a pretty good record at FAU. Not not his first year, though. Yeah. He had to he had to rebuild.
17:12
17 minutes, 12 seconds
There’s a little up and down there, but but yeah, I think that’s what a lot of that is. But I I did write about that
17:19
17 minutes, 19 seconds
quite a bit uh at my previous job at Outkick when when he was at Old Miss.
17:24
17 minutes, 24 seconds
And uh he he does have a tendency not to win big games. He hasn’t won many ranked games and you know, they’re not all like
17:32
17 minutes, 32 seconds
against Alabama. A lot of them are. Uh but uh he he has failed in in several big games.
17:41
17 minutes, 41 seconds
Go ahead, Todd. I I I I think that’s true, but I think that that again is a product of where he’s been and the
17:48
17 minutes, 48 seconds
situations he’s been in. And I think that LSU evaluated that and they chose him for the qualities that he does have.
17:55
17 minutes, 55 seconds
And I think that if you look at it back at that record four or five years from now, provided he stays at LSU, it’s going to be starkly different than it is
18:02
18 minutes, 2 seconds
right now. So, I want to ask you all then because Glenn, you kind of mentioned, you know, he’s rebuilding the roster this year, so you can’t really judge and it’s going to take time for
18:10
18 minutes, 10 seconds
him to really get into the program that he wants to be at LSU, right? When is it fair to start judging LSU under Lane
18:18
18 minutes, 18 seconds
Keifin? Is it is it next season once he has a second off season he can kind of build out his roster or will it take two, three years before you can kind of start making those value judgments?
18:26
18 minutes, 26 seconds
Well, I think you can make him now because I think this year he’s been more talented or as talented as some of the
18:34
18 minutes, 34 seconds
teams he’s lost to. And you you said he was much more talented than than Alabama. And when he was at Old Miss, particularly his last three or four
18:42
18 minutes, 42 seconds
years at Old Miss, he was more talented than some of the ranked teams he lost to. And so, he’s he’s got to get better
18:49
18 minutes, 49 seconds
in in big games. Um, one of the criticism is he he kind of outthinks himself. I think that’s happened. uh against Alabama. But, you know, none
18:59
18 minutes, 59 seconds
none of that matters once once you get into the into the future. If he if he starts uh coaching better and and gets a
19:06
19 minutes, 6 seconds
team together and keeps the roster, none of that’s going to matter cuz, you know, in this thing, oh, he’s never won a championship. Well, Saving was a head
19:15
19 minutes, 15 seconds
coach for like six, seven, eight years before he won a championship. So, that that’s kind of uh that that that’s kind
19:22
19 minutes, 22 seconds
of an unfair shot, that part. But he has had issues with with r against ranked teams that several of them I think he should have beat.
19:29
19 minutes, 29 seconds
How does he address the offensive line next year?
19:32
19 minutes, 32 seconds
He’s got to get an offensive line. And how you address that is in the portal unfortunately because even though you
19:39
19 minutes, 39 seconds
can recruit good offensive linemen as freshman that’s a position where you cannot expect a freshman to step in. Now
19:46
19 minutes, 46 seconds
it can happen and it does happen Will Campbell Jones. Emry Jones, but it’s not something that you can expect to happen.
19:54
19 minutes, 54 seconds
So, the quick fix is the the portal.
19:58
19 minutes, 58 seconds
Well, are there were there offensive linemen signed last year?
20:02
20 minutes, 2 seconds
There were that could that could move in.
20:04
20 minutes, 4 seconds
Well, Bryson Martinez, you would think be a guy that should be pushing for playing time next season.
20:11
20 minutes, 11 seconds
Devin Harper should be playing should be pushing for playing time next season.
20:15
20 minutes, 15 seconds
I I agree. And I’m not saying that there’s not people currently on the roster that could step into that next year with more development, but if that
20:24
20 minutes, 24 seconds
doesn’t you can’t I don’t think you count on that. I think you have to fill up the cupboard with some portal offensive line.
20:33
20 minutes, 33 seconds
He built the offensive line out of the portal this year though and look how that turns out. That’s what we just said.
20:38
20 minutes, 38 seconds
I know. But but so then what do you do differently next off season?
20:41
20 minutes, 41 seconds
I’ll tell you I’ll tell you what he does. Last year he he got rid of almost the whole every offensive lineman on the team and he how many offensive linemen did he sign last year out of the portal?
20:50
20 minutes, 50 seconds
Nine.
20:51
20 minutes, 51 seconds
Yeah, something like that. But okay. Well, I think this year he needs to maybe just get three of the best ones. I agree.
20:57
20 minutes, 57 seconds
And and [clears throat] spread the money among three instead of nine and get better linemen.
21:01
21 minutes, 1 second
And I think that could be a good strategy. But I would point out that none of the offensive linemen that left LSU are fairing too well at their current place. Tyrie Adams and Texas A&M’s offensive line is pretty bad.
21:12
21 minutes, 12 seconds
Well, but are they? Well, neither are the guys here. Yeah.
21:16
21 minutes, 16 seconds
I mean, so maybe if they’d stayed, they’d be doing better. Who knows?
21:19
21 minutes, 19 seconds
All right, let’s uh take a break. When we come back, we’ll talk some more Texas Longhorns. Kirk BS from the Houston Chronicle. He’ll join us, so stay tuned
21:27
21 minutes, 27 seconds
for that. And again, if you’ve missed any of Tiger Rag here tonight, we’ve had some great interviews with Derry Beckwith and Garland Gillan. Um, you can

22:11
22 minutes, 11 seconds
Now back to Tiger Rag Radio.
22:15
22 minutes, 15 seconds
Time to get a scouting report on the Texas Longhorns. For that, we turn to Kirk BS with the Houston Chronicles. He joins us here on Tiger Rag Radio. Kirk, thanks a lot for joining us. Jeff
22:24
22 minutes, 24 seconds
Polalmo along with Todd Horn. Glenn Gilbo, how you doing tonight? I’m glad to be with you guys.
22:29
22 minutes, 29 seconds
We keep hearing a lot about Texas’s defense. Give us an idea of the impact that Will Muschamp has made as far as the defensive coordinator there for the Longhorns.
22:40
22 minutes, 40 seconds
Well, that wasn’t what was broken when uh Steve Sarkeesian fired Pete Quickowski and we were all a little bit surprised that maybe he didn’t make a move at special teams or offensive line.
22:50
22 minutes, 50 seconds
But, uh, that said, Will Muschimp to me is one of the best defensive coordinators I’ve ever been around. Uh,
22:58
22 minutes, 58 seconds
I’ve only been covering college football about 54 years, though, so take take that with a grain of salt. [laughter] Okay. So,
23:05
23 minutes, 5 seconds
hey, Kurt, he he’s all he is always advertised to be.
23:09
23 minutes, 9 seconds
Well, Kurt, when you know, Tennessee’s already won. I mean, uh, Texas has already won on the road at Tennessee and Missouri last week, of course, but
23:17
23 minutes, 17 seconds
what’s traveled well for Texas in those two road wins specifically?
23:22
23 minutes, 22 seconds
Well, the defense is always packed. And the offense, as you probably know, has been very erratic all year long. They
23:31
23 minutes, 31 seconds
the game against Missouri last week in fact was probably the first game all year. They put four quarters together
23:38
23 minutes, 38 seconds
and played uh what coaches like to call complimentary football. Um yeah, the offense has not carried its weight and
23:46
23 minutes, 46 seconds
they’ve put a lot of burden on the defense. That’s how they beat Tennessee and uh that’s how they beat Missouri in the fourth quarter when they gave up
23:54
23 minutes, 54 seconds
like 30 yards and one first down in 17 plays. So that’s kept them in the games until the offense can come up with uh
24:03
24 minutes, 3 seconds
enough points to win on most nights if your name’s not Florida or Oklahoma.
24:08
24 minutes, 8 seconds
When when Sarkeesian studies LSU’s defense, where do you think he’ll expect or where do you expect him to attack first?
24:17
24 minutes, 17 seconds
Well, he’s going to want to he’s going to want to take away the run game. And that’s probably been the biggest strength by far of this defense. They got a really stout defensive line.
24:27
24 minutes, 27 seconds
They’ve only given up, you know, two rushing touchdowns in six SEC games.
24:32
24 minutes, 32 seconds
They give up about 98 yards on the ground. And and they not given up a 100 yard rusher yet. So that’s been a big
24:40
24 minutes, 40 seconds
secret. You know, Jamal Roberts had a pair of 200 plus rushing yards and and they really held him in check the whole
24:49
24 minutes, 49 seconds
time. He got ended up with I think about 65 66 yards. But that’s that’s been the biggest strength. And they’re going to want to contain Sam Lev. They know what
24:58
24 minutes, 58 seconds
a great scrambler he is back from the Peach Bowl a couple years ago. They know what a good athlete he is. So they’re going to try to keep him in the pocket.
25:06
25 minutes, 6 seconds
And then obviously they’re hoping Colin Simmons is back from his high ankle sprain. He missed two games. He got in
25:14
25 minutes, 14 seconds
only 18 plays against Missouri. And he was basically kind of a shadow of himself. He didn’t have a tackle or a sack. he just entertained like two
25:23
25 minutes, 23 seconds
Missouri blockers, you know, on every down that he was in. So, that’s probably their their passing uh their secondary
25:31
25 minutes, 31 seconds
can be uh beaten some uh but their linebackers are their strength. Raheem Biles is, you know, one of the best
25:39
25 minutes, 39 seconds
linebackers in the country, came from Pit, and he leads the defense in five categories, including passes broken up.
25:49
25 minutes, 49 seconds
So you can see he’s he’s what Shark calls a three-level player. So it’s a very stout defense, but uh LSU is
25:58
25 minutes, 58 seconds
probably the biggest challenge they’re going to face this year besides Ohio State.
26:02
26 minutes, 2 seconds
Talking to Kirk BS from the Houston Chronicle here on Tiger Rag Radio. Kirk, Texas and LSU had a classic game in 2019
26:11
26 minutes, 11 seconds
in in Austin and Texas was supposed to play at LSU in in 20120 uh before co-
26:19
26 minutes, 19 seconds
was you know what are this what is the Texas fan base I mean is this a trip they’ve really been looking forward to and how do they view LSU?
26:29
26 minutes, 29 seconds
Well, yeah, they do. And it’s a it’s a Texas fan base that gets excited about these sexy, you know, high marquee
26:36
26 minutes, 36 seconds
games, especially so close to New Orleans. If it’s a if it’s a really great city, a great destination, they really pack it in for that. Now, I don’t
26:45
26 minutes, 45 seconds
know if they can get more than three or 4 thousand uh seats and tickets to Tiger Stadium, but uh I think after the Alabama game, they
26:53
26 minutes, 53 seconds
should have no problem. [laughter] Oh, come on.
26:57
26 minutes, 57 seconds
Well, I know the parking lot got got busy a little early. uh in the fourth quarter of that game and and I think Sarkc is counting on maybe being the fan
27:06
27 minutes, 6 seconds
base and maybe some in the team being a little demoralized instead. I don’t know if they’re going to be demoralized or just desperate to get one last gasp to
27:14
27 minutes, 14 seconds
try to make the playoffs. How do you guys see it?
27:18
27 minutes, 18 seconds
Certainly backs are against the wall and Lane Keifin referred to it yesterday uh when he talked about how he feels
27:25
27 minutes, 25 seconds
nowadays a team that’s trying to rebound is um much more dangerous than a team that’s coming off a big win like Texas on the road.
27:35
27 minutes, 35 seconds
That that’s what it seems like all year, doesn’t it, guys? I mean, we we’ve never had a year quite as chaotic as this. And that’s why we can see an Auburn going to
27:43
27 minutes, 43 seconds
Athens and beat Georgia and force three turnovers. So, we don’t know what we’re going to get. And I really thought Missouri had a great chance to beat them
27:51
27 minutes, 51 seconds
because because they got a complete team that, you know, they’ve got a good defense and playmakers on offense and and so does LSU. I I think one thing
28:00
28 minutes
that’s going to be just so entertaining to watch is, you know, Sarkc matching with with Lane because, you know, they’re buddies and they were together at USC, they were together at Alabama.
28:11
28 minutes, 11 seconds
You know, Zark talked a little bit about Monday about all the group uh text threads that Lane starts. He probably
28:18
28 minutes, 18 seconds
leads the country country in that. So, uh it’ll be really interesting as they they match wits and see who can one up the other one.
28:27
28 minutes, 27 seconds
Kirk, is this going to be your first game in Tiger Stadium? No, I it’s my second and uh the last time I was there
28:34
28 minutes, 34 seconds
to cover the Aggies when they came in there and it’s never been as electric as anybody who hadn’t been there expects
28:41
28 minutes, 41 seconds
and you know I’d put that I was really impressed. I’d never been to Tennessee before and I was really impressed with Knoxville. But that’s the great thing
28:49
28 minutes, 49 seconds
about the SEC. You know, I wish Texas had joined about 30 years ago because, [laughter] you know, even even when they
28:56
28 minutes, 56 seconds
played at Lexington at Kentucky last year, I was really impressed with how rabbid their fan base was. Of course, you know, you can go to the Cow Bells
29:05
29 minutes, 5 seconds
and Starkville and just go down the list and you’re going to see a rabid environment. So, I’m really, really excited about it.
29:12
29 minutes, 12 seconds
So, so you went to the&m game last year at LSU, you said? No, no, this is a lot longer.
29:18
29 minutes, 18 seconds
probably, you know, this is probably 20 years ago. Oh, I got you. I got you.
29:22
29 minutes, 22 seconds
Hey, hey, Kurt, let’s go back to the uh the Sarkeesian and Kein matchup real quick. I know they’re good friends. I know that Keens pointed out that
29:30
29 minutes, 30 seconds
Sarkeesian helped him through it through his sobriety, and I don’t know who helped Sarkeesian into his sobriety, but um
29:38
29 minutes, 38 seconds
how do you see the match between those two playing out? Who do you think’s the better coach right now? And who do you think has the advantage in the
29:45
29 minutes, 45 seconds
head-to-head matchup? Well, they’re both trying to win that elusive, you know, uh, brass ring and and neither one has
29:53
29 minutes, 53 seconds
gotten there yet. You know, I don’t think Sarkc has done his best job this year because so much more was expected of that. I guess we could say the same
30:01
30 minutes, 1 second
thing for Lane and LSU. It’s just Texas has made a few more clutch plays to win some of these games, uh, especially on the road against Tennessee and Missouri.
30:11
30 minutes, 11 seconds
So, uh, but you know, he he went back to some of his old playbook last week and he he ran he’s been running a little bit
30:18
30 minutes, 18 seconds
more screens to running backs to try to slow down the pass rush because, you know, the offensive line is is by far Texas weakest part of the game. It’s
30:28
30 minutes, 28 seconds
really been their Achilles heels. So, I look for a lot of trick plays. Even though Sarkc doesn’t run very many, you
30:35
30 minutes, 35 seconds
know, he’s been pretty basic and uh I’m hoping we see some stuff we haven’t seen before this year. Should be a fun game, fun environment. These two teams playing
30:44
30 minutes, 44 seconds
in Tiger Stadium for what? First time since 195 something. 53. 53.
30:49
30 minutes, 49 seconds
1953. And I wasn’t covering that one quite [laughter] yet. Close. Close but not quite.
30:55
30 minutes, 55 seconds
All right, Kirk. Well, enjoy your uh second game in Tiger Stadium. We appreciate your time tonight. Thank you, sir.
31:01
31 minutes, 1 second
Can’t wait to see you guys. Thanks for having me. Kirk Bowls from the Houston Chronicle.
31:05
31 minutes, 5 seconds
We’ll take a break here on Tiger Rag Radio. There is a nice appetizer before the LSU Texas game and that’s LSU men’s basketball. We’ll talk about that when we come back here on Tiger Rag Radio.
31:17
31 minutes, 17 seconds
We now return to Tiger Rag Radio.
31:21
31 minutes, 21 seconds
Back here on Tiger Rag Radio, we’ve been talking a lot of football, but we got to talk some LSU men’s basketball. Uh Case has been quiet tonight because his
31:29
31 minutes, 29 seconds
Louisiana Tech Bulldogs got trounced by 40 last night by the the Tigers. Is that why you’ve been Sure. Let’s go with that. [laughter] I can’t say it was unexpected.
31:38
31 minutes, 38 seconds
Who didn’t even go to the game? A recent grad didn’t even go.
31:42
31 minutes, 42 seconds
It was Well, it’s a different team, honestly. That’s not the team that I watched. All right. [laughter] They got one returning guy. Are you familiar with the Portal?
31:50
31 minutes, 50 seconds
Well, or the kiddie pool. I mean, Louisiana Tech’s part of the kitty pool.
31:54
31 minutes, 54 seconds
It is. Yeah, that’s what that’s what we’ll wait.
31:57
31 minutes, 57 seconds
But how about the first time in program history to win the first three games by 40 or more points? taking a page out of uh Kim Bulki’s book book with these
32:05
32 minutes, 5 seconds
blowout wins to begin the season. Uh but yes, it gets much tougher this Saturday when the Tigers go on the road to take on Gonzaga. Ranked 14th, right? 15th.
32:14
32 minutes, 14 seconds
14th.
32:15
32 minutes, 15 seconds
14th. How about that? What a great matchup. A good test for this team. Um what do you guys think of it?
32:21
32 minutes, 21 seconds
Well, the I know Glenn’s going to have more in-depth things to say about it, and that’s good. Not really.
32:26
32 minutes, 26 seconds
But [laughter] but I find the most interesting we have them here. I I find the most interesting thing right now to
32:33
32 minutes, 33 seconds
be about how Mark F, the the coach at Gonzaga, is talking about how great uh
32:40
32 minutes, 40 seconds
second best roster in college basketball that LSU has.
32:43
32 minutes, 43 seconds
So Mark F must really follow European basketball, [laughter] second only to Duke. And now Will is saying, “Yeah, we’re good. We’re great.
32:51
32 minutes, 51 seconds
We’re got we got a great team, but you know, we’ve been playing in the kiddie pool for so long now that we’re uh we’re just glad we’re getting this NIL money.”
32:59
32 minutes, 59 seconds
And why is the school taking 15% of my NLM money?
33:03
33 minutes, 3 seconds
Well, let’s hear a little bit from what Mark F had to say about this LSU men’s basketball team.
33:08
33 minutes, 8 seconds
Guys, I’m telling you, he’s got a heck of a roster now. I mean, that’s might not be as talented as Duke, but it’s probably the second most talented roster
33:16
33 minutes, 16 seconds
maybe in college basketball with who they have. I mean, I I don’t think everybody knows the the level of play that the kids they got from the international ranks. They’re something.
33:25
33 minutes, 25 seconds
and obviously adding Donovan Dent and some of the other guys. Uh it’s going to be a heck of a challenge. Hopefully Spokane comes out and packs the arena.
33:34
33 minutes, 34 seconds
It should be a great game and hopefully make it a great environment. But they got a they got a squad.
33:40
33 minutes, 40 seconds
Well, he’s right about Donovan Denton, Sky Clark. That that’s true. But I don’t know the the European players. It’s it’s kind of a mystery. You know, some of
33:49
33 minutes, 49 seconds
them they’re definitely got some height and uh Rusk has a good jump shot and he’s 7 feet tall. I mean, there’s some talent there, but um I don’t think
33:57
33 minutes, 57 seconds
anybody really knows how they match up and and how their league matches up with with the college league. You know, we’re
34:05
34 minutes, 5 seconds
going to have to wait and see. I saw some other predictions that LSU was going to go uh you know, closer to 500.
34:11
34 minutes, 11 seconds
I mean, Mark F has them in the NCA tournament, but um I I just think it’s kind of a mystery around the the uh foreign players.
34:20
34 minutes, 20 seconds
Let’s hear from Will Wade on this Gonzaga team.
34:22
34 minutes, 22 seconds
They’re great in transition. They’re elite. They’re one of the best teams in the country. I mean, Mark Fuse in the in the Hall of Fame, he’s a phenomenal coach. They got another phenomenal team
34:31
34 minutes, 31 seconds
um as they move into the Pack 12. And so, this was uh I think I was the only one dumb enough to go up there and play them. They tried to get everybody else and we were the only ones dumb enough to
34:38
34 minutes, 38 seconds
sign up for it. So, it’s going to be one of the biggest challenges of our entire season when you look at our schedule.
34:43
34 minutes, 43 seconds
So, they’re a great team, great program, Hall of Fame coach, and they got great personnel. So, they got big guys, you know, be the first time we’ve gone against true bigs. Um so, that’s going
34:52
34 minutes, 52 seconds
to be a little bit different. and and look, they’ve got bigger guards, too.
34:55
34 minutes, 55 seconds
So, it’s going to be we’re going to have to play way better than we’ve been playing. We’re going have to be much tighter than we’ve than we’ve been. Uh, you know, just to give ourselves a chance up there in that environment.
35:04
35 minutes, 4 seconds
Contrasting opinions of what to expect in that game on Saturday from those two coaches. I think Will Wade is probably
35:12
35 minutes, 12 seconds
thinking that he needs to not hype the game up, not talk like LSU is going to go in and play well and then if they play well, oh, look how good we are now.
35:23
35 minutes, 23 seconds
And uh if not, well, like he said, we got our NIL check from which I don’t understand. How does the the payout go
35:32
35 minutes, 32 seconds
directly to NIL when NIL is supposed to come directly from the corporations and not Somebody needs to explain that to me.
35:41
35 minutes, 41 seconds
Maybe the corporations set the game up. Who knows?
35:44
35 minutes, 44 seconds
Here’s Will We talking about playing in Spokane.
35:46
35 minutes, 46 seconds
I know this. We’re getting money for our NIO for going up there. So, the check ain’t going to bounce. So, that’s that may be the best part of Saturday because they’re going to put so many people in
35:54
35 minutes, 54 seconds
that arena. Our check ain’t going to bounce. And our school’s taking 15% from us, which I’ve never heard from before for whatever reason. Our administration
36:01
36 minutes, 1 second
taking 15% from us. I don’t understand that part. But our check’s not going to bounce. So that’ll be that’ll be that may be the best part of the trip if we don’t play any better than we’ve been
36:09
36 minutes, 9 seconds
playing. So we are getting paid good amount of money to go up there because nobody else would go. Look, 190 and nine is it says a lot. You know, we’re playing them at the arena downtown.
36:19
36 minutes, 19 seconds
Like, oh, you’re not playing them at the kennel. I’m like, yeah, they get double the amount of fans in the arena downtown. There’s a hockey game the night before, so we don’t even get in the damn thing to shoot around. I’m sure they’ve been practicing there all week.
36:29
36 minutes, 29 seconds
That’s why they didn’t schedule a game this week. So, but look, that’s what they should do. I mean, it’s to their advantage. And uh like I said, I mean, it’s it’s a monumental task to go up
36:36
36 minutes, 36 seconds
there and and uh and try to win. But look, this will be nothing like going to MCN or floor state. I mean, this will be this is in a category in and of itself
36:43
36 minutes, 43 seconds
is like going to play at Kentucky, going to play at Florida. I mean, this will be in a category in and of itself. So, I I still I know you guys [laughter] don’t
36:52
36 minutes, 52 seconds
really seem to want to talk about this, but how does the NIL fund get the contribution when
37:00
37 minutes
it’s the LSU basketball program going up to play? It seems like it should be. Is ESPN going to start giving money to the
37:08
37 minutes, 8 seconds
different NIL programs instead of giving it to the universities?
37:11
37 minutes, 11 seconds
I mean, what’s different than that than the uh the radio broadcast partner for LSU doing that? Playfly.
37:18
37 minutes, 18 seconds
guarantee who you who Oh, yeah. Playfly. Playfly.
37:22
37 minutes, 22 seconds
That’s what I thought. Yeah. I don’t know. We’re gonna have to look into that case, Glenn. [laughter] It’s a new Well, you’re the one interested in it.
37:29
37 minutes, 29 seconds
Well, I I think most people should be interested [laughter] in it. And I think Will Wade It is interesting. I was just kidding.
37:36
37 minutes, 36 seconds
It is kind of interesting though, though. I do think um you know a lot of colleges money intake you know they can
37:45
37 minutes, 45 seconds
kind of some of it’s kind of a general fund and they can kind of use it for whatever they want. name, image, likeness is supposed to be third party funded.
37:53
37 minutes, 53 seconds
Supposed to be supposed to be, right? Well, he could we know how things work.
37:57
37 minutes, 57 seconds
He could be throwing out the term NIL when he really means rev sharing, right?
38:00
38 minutes
And maybe if you’ve got that money coming into the program, then you can tell your donors, hey, go to this collective instead of the program.
38:08
38 minutes, 8 seconds
He could be that could be the explanation.
38:10
38 minutes, 10 seconds
He may have also be [clears throat] highly irresponsible.
38:13
38 minutes, 13 seconds
[laughter]
38:13
38 minutes, 13 seconds
Well, well, Wade is known for being sloppy when it comes to money. We know that if if he used the word NIL instead
38:20
38 minutes, 20 seconds
of revenue share, that that’s not a surprise at all. And if he used this person’s bank account instead of another one to get this player money, [laughter] who knows?
38:28
38 minutes, 28 seconds
You mean like his wife’s bank account? Wife’s bank account.
38:30
38 minutes, 30 seconds
I wasn’t going to say that, but [laughter] thank you, Todd.
38:33
38 minutes, 33 seconds
Are they going to his wife’s bank account?
38:35
38 minutes, 35 seconds
I don’t know. I don’t know. And now what if he said this is now going to my wife’s bank account? Then we knew something was up, right?
38:40
38 minutes, 40 seconds
Well, I guess we can forget [laughter] about having Will on the show this season. I’ve been working on that. Thanks a lot, guys. It’s not me, Will. Well, I didn’t say it.
