TRANSCRIPT:

 

Andrew:                 What’s up, Gator Country? Your man, Andrew Spivey, back. Nicholas de la Torre. Nicholas, it’s Wednesday. We’re going to have a positive podcast today. Been a little on the negative side. We’re going to have a positive podcast today. We’re going to be joined by our good buddy out in N’awlins, Mr. Ross Dellenger. Baseball guy like us.

Nick:                         Is he a baseball guy? My buddy, Chandler Rome, did baseball for them, but he definitely loves baseball. It’s hard to be around Baton Rouge and be around the LSU athletic program without liking baseball.

Andrew:                 He’s done baseball forever, until last year, right?

Nick:                         He did. He did do baseball. Chandler took over last year. Chandler’s since moved on. He’s covering McNeese State now. Ross, that’s how I first found out about the deli cam. He takes his binoculars and takes his phone, and if you position it just right, you can kind of get a picture on your phone through binoculars. I tried to do a couple weeks ago.

Andrew:                 You’re not talented enough for all that.

Nick:                         I still have to work on it.

Andrew:                 That’s some David Bowie stuff.

Nick:                         It’s a work in progress.

Andrew:                 There you go. He’s a baseball guy. I thought you were making me lose my mind, but he is a baseball guy. Getting to cover LSU this year. We’ll talk to him about this Ed Orgeron thing. Nick, it’s kind of a weird thing, kind of like the Will Muschamp firing in the middle of the year as well. It was something that I think the players knew was coming for LSU, and something the players knew was coming at Florida. You saw those guys come out in Florida, the Florida State game, and it looked like they were just flat wore out. That’s kind of where I’m wondering is things going to go with LSU? Are they going to come in after that emotional high of last week and be tired, or are they going to still be able to feed off that energy? I don’t even think Ross can answer that question, because I think it’s a question we won’t find out till Saturday at noon.

Nick:                         I think it’s a situation like Florida. This isn’t a game that you have to manually find ways to get up to. You know what I’m saying? You don’t have to get up for this game. You just get up for it.

Andrew:                 I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I was saying, Florida fed off that Will Muschamp firing a little bit and was talking up how they were going to play for Will. That’s why LSU did last week against Missouri. They were like, we’re going to play for Les. We’re going to be hyped for Orgeron. That’s what I was saying. LSU didn’t get new players. They just played with a different intensity last week. That’s what I’m saying. They’re going to come in this week. They’re going to say the same old thing, but did the newness wear off? That’s what I was getting into, not the being jacked for the game. You don’t have a pulse if you’re not jacked for this football game.

Nick:                         That’s true. To me, then you’re looking at, so you’re saying did we empty the tank last week from an emotion st
