TJ Finley and Max Johnson: What to Expect + Zach Von Rosenberg on Audacity, Belief, and Catalyzing Failure into Future Success Oct 23, 2020

Show notes

LSU punter Zach Von Rosenberg is today's guest (23:46).

But before we talk with the 30-year-old former MLB pitcher/walk-on QB/walk-on tight end turned national champion, we break down Coach O's announcement that TJ Finley will get the start at QB for LSU. What can we expect from Finley? What's the latest on Myles Brennan's health? Where does Max Johnson fit in.

Plus, discussion on third down offense, young players likely to see more snaps Saturday against South Carolina, and more.

Ali Gaye's Incredible Journey Oct 14, 2020

Show notes

Ali Gaye has an incredible story to tell.

LSU's defensive end, the SEC's pressures leader through three weeks, is already making history. He's one of the first college football players from The Gambia, a small country on the west coast of Africa, and his journey from there to here, from then to now, is one you have to hear for yourself. It's an amazing story of parental sacrifice and personal dedication.

Ali sat down with us for 30 minutes after his debut against Mississippi State to talk about his story. We also learn why he wears No. 11 and the improbable intersection of his life with another that inspires him daily.

Hurry Up: Gut Check Time Oct 11, 2020

Show notes

LSU is 1-2 for the first time since 1994.

The Tigers head to The Swamp next week.

It's gut check time.

Hester joins the Hurry Up as we break format and break down LSU's 45-41 loss to Missouri.

Speak It Into Existence Oct 07, 2020

Show notes

LSU got an improved quarterback, a breakout running back, and a returning star on defense Saturday. What did that fix, and what does it affect moving forward?

Hester and I break down those questions and more, including the right way to prepare your toothbrush for optimal dental cleaning.

We also start setting the mood for Florida Hate Week and try, in vain, to keep the weather at bay for Saturday's kickoff with Mizzou.

Subscribe! Rate! Review! Beat Mizzou!

(Note: this episode was recorded before the SEC's announcement that LSU's game against Missouri would be moved to Columbia for an 11 a.m. kickoff Saturday).

Just What the Doctor Ordered Oct 04, 2020

Show notes

LSU rebounded from its Week One loss to knock off Vanderbilt 41-7.

Was it perfect? No.

Was it much improved? Yes.

We talk John Emery's breakout, Myles Brennan's development, Derek Stingley Jr.'s return, the defensive improvements, and much more.

Learning From Failure Oct 01, 2020

Show notes

The cereal talk comes at the very end.

Before that, the serious talk.

We look forward to Vanderbilt by looking back at Mississippi State. What can LSU fix from the loss? What can LSU build on? And why is T-Bob trying to intimidate us?

Plenty of discussion on Derek Stingley's return, Ali Gaye's breakout, Myles Brennan's ups and downs, and of course we answer your questions as fast as we can before Hester has to do his radio show.

The Hurry Up is Back, For Better or Worse Sep 27, 2020

Show notes

That wasn't pretty. But there's a lot to talk about.

LSU's 44-34 defeat to open the 2020 season revealed a lot of weaknesses and a few things to build around. We talk about the broader impact of football's return, the bad news on the Tigers' struggles to get going offensively and get stops defensively, the good news on the offense's second half adjustments and the defense's takeaways, and where things go from here.

You Ready? Sep 23, 2020

Show notes

After a longer-than-usual wait and after an unprecedented offseason that came on the heels of an unprecedented season, the Tigers are back.

You ready?

If not, we will get you ready with today's episode, previewing LSU's 2020 season opener against Mississippi State (even though we don't actually mention the Bulldogs until like 45 minutes in...whoops). There's plenty of talk about the Tigers, though, including the new 7 and 18s, a depth chart break down, over/unders for key players, and some mailbag questions we hurried to answer at the end.

See y'all after Saturday's game.

No. 7 JaCoby Stevens, No. 18 Damone Clark, and No. 18 Chris Curry Sep 21, 2020

Show notes

LSU announced its newest members of the No. 7 and No. 18 clubs Friday, and we sit down with the newest bearers of two historic Tiger jerseys.

First up is JaCoby Stevens, who will wear No. 7 this season as the Tigers' most prominent playmaker.

Next up we sit down with both Damone Clark and Chris Curry (14:05) to talk about their induction into the No. 18 lineage of leaders.

And with all three, we call up their parents to break the good news.

What I Saw at Preseason Game No. 2 + Why Coach O Loves Bo Pelini's Defense Sep 18, 2020

Show notes

I took in last Friday's final preseason game for LSU, so me and Hester breakdown how good the offense looked, Myles Brennan's improvement outside of the pocket, and how the running game could be special in 2020.

We also discuss Coach O's recent comments on how excited he is about Bo Pelini's defense, Neil Farrell's decision to opt back in and its impact on the defensive line, plus more questions from Instagram and Twitter.

Back next week to preview LSU-Mississippi State.
