Tory Carter: Making Fullbacks Great Again Apr 11, 2021

Show notes

Tory Carter's dreams already came true when he won a national championship at LSU.

So why not make a new dream?

After bouncing from fullback to tight end and dominating on special teams as a Tiger, Carter is ready to embark on a new adventure, bringing his "mean, tough, nasty" persona to the NFL.

We talk about how his game will transition to the next level, after rounding out his talents all over the field in college, on this episode of Hey Fightin' Podcast.

Terrace Marshall Jr.'s Road to the Pros Apr 07, 2021

Show notes

Terrace Marshall Jr. always knew he'd end up here: on the brink of his NFL dreams coming true.

He just didn't realize how winding his path to this moment would be.

On this episode of Hey Fightin' Podcast, Terrace talks about his decision to opt out with two games remaining in the 2020 season, his friendship with Ja'Marr Chase, his plans to put on a show at LSU's Pro Day (spoiler alert: he did), and much more.

Kevin Faulk Talks Super Bowl, Brady's Greatness, and Running Backs + Justin Jefferson Rewind Feb 04, 2021

Show notes

We kick off Season 3 of Hey Fightin' Podcast with the legendary No. 3 himself.

Kevin Faulk parlayed an All-American, record-setting career at LSU into a 13-year NFL career with the New England Patriots, where he played in five Super Bowls and won three. We sat down with Faulk ahead of a Super Bowl which will feature six former Tigers and a quarterback Faulk knows better than most.

After that conversation, we revisit a 2019 chat with Justin Jefferson, who is up for Rookie of the Year honors this weekend. It's a refreshing look back to a time when Jefferson was on the verge of a breakout few have ever matched -- from a two-star who some thought was a walk-on to a national champion and record-setting NFL rookie.

After all the challenges of 2020, the future remains bright for LSU Football.

Hurry Up: Victory for L-S-Shoe (Live Postgame Reaction) Dec 13, 2020

Show notes

A different flavor this week for The Hurry Up.

I hopped on Zoom right after the game and took questions to break down LSU's 37-34 win over Florida.

The result was a less analytical approach to the game and a more emotional, raw conversation about joy and fandom and grit and culture.

But we did talk Cade York's 57-yard game-winner, Max Johnson's moxie, the freshmen playing like vets, and, yes, The Shoe.

With guest appearances from the Away Game Press Box, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com, Van Lathan of The Ringer, and, best of all, some loyal listeners.

(Man, I really hope I edited out all the stuff I was supposed to.)

Fight All the Way Dec 03, 2020

Show notes

Hey Fightin' Podcast has opted back in for the 2020 season.

A month-long hiatus ends today. We're talking about the struggles of November, the opportunities of December, and where things stand at quarterback, receiver, and offensive line. We also talk Terrace Marshall's opt out, the defense's improvement, and what's at stake in the final three games of the season.

Ty Davis-Price and John Emery Oct 29, 2020

Show notes

Call them Thunder and Lightning. Call them Honey and Mustard. Call them the best pair of running backs in the SEC.

Call them what you want: John Emery and Ty Davis-Price call themselves brothers.

This is an emotional episode. It's a funny episode. It's timely -- the two just combined for 223 yards and two scores against South Carolina. It's evergreen, too -- they go deep on their stories, their families, their bond.

I walked away from this conversation amazed by their resilience, grateful for their vulnerability, and inspired by their friendship.

I hope you feel the same way by the time it's done.

Stay tuned for more from this conversation on our other media feeds, including Inside LSU Football with Ed Orgeron and LSU's YouTube and social media channels.

Hurry Up: That Was Fun (TJ Finley, Terrace Marshall, Jabril Cox) Oct 25, 2020

Show notes

52-24.

I know we went 15-0 and won a national championship last year, but that was fun.

The unknowns entering the game. The performances during the game. The freshmen standouts. The veterans rising to the occasion.

This team has a lot of work to do and bigger games ahead, but that -- that was just good times.

This is one of my favorite Hurry Ups, and not just because the game was so interesting and gave us so much to talk about.

First, Hester joins for a break down. Then we hear from TJ Finley, Terrace Marshall, and Jabril Cox. Finally, I get to your mailbag questions.

As always, thanks for listening, leave a rating/review if you haven't already, and Geaux Tigers.
