-- -- now a senior right out of tiger a big back -- -- -- as nausea LSU football team and gets to work related is weak whispering that. Trading Brad thank you so much for the time in man -- quick turnaround from the into the season to a spring practice. Yeah you know the you know not even two months since -- -- Alabama the national championship game and not. They're back at it -- likes to -- early spring. In case first monkeys here injuries there's more talk on the -- before fall practice starts that. He likes to get about the way. You know this year you know allergies spring break is coming up that first weekend in April around Easter so he doesn't want to hold them over. After -- you know be after spring break so that was another reason why the -- the academic count it worked out that. You know they needed to get spring wrapped up but there at the end of march. And Bradley Psycho tie a coach's staff is now sit in sit -- -- ago. Right you know court arraignment has been hired as the secondary coach taking -- Cooper's place. Arraignment spent three years here earlier door and let small and you're not as an on the field goes one year it was a defensive intern where well that year he gets some work on the field many did a couple of years work. As an assistant strength coach. He moved on what do you talk state coach quarterbacks there for a couple years. New coach Kevin will and heart in India and a but he never really got started there after a couple months old when he called. And I need to -- job in the Nebraska coach. The secondary Nebraska last year. And you know now he's he's coming back good to Alex you do too and Lee -- defense to back down here. And you know Brian obviously LSU fans are arm again it because ultimate goal now you get kind of stalled when you do have a great team and you are winning. Is ultimately yes you wanna go to Atlanta when FC championship and ultimately put yourself in position to win national championships. You know it's hard or -- should say in the matter high school college professional. To be in a position when you can win back to back championships -- be in that tied the game. But what is your take realistic and you -- -- she can return. At a title game in Miami I think of their schedule is is definitely more favorable what eight home games instead of six. You look at all the returning starters all of his Stephens special teams. And and expect -- -- Bernard -- like their chances. Money be better to get to Miami -- be in the championship game. I -- I agree with you it is getting easier. And -- these -- is. Well with the most important thing is would you account for. You win if you win yet these city you can have a chance to play for the national championship. So LSU last year could have law. Two less for junior. Or unit that won all other gains made -- one yet -- seeded and the chance that. You played -- yet to peak right now the issue that you look at the schedule. You know in the conference they have to go. To Arkansas Fayetteville. Who lives probably viewed you know right now on Paper Arkansas is right there with Alabama and -- -- the top -- in the in the SEC. And -- you have to go to Fayetteville predicting. You know court epic U and Alabama your -- rouge -- have to take on one of the best teams in the east. And not in South Carolina. And then when you look at their road games they're the three road games you know all Auburn floored at that they now I mean it's not like what you -- -- Ole miss. The able to plot but as far as what they have to do as regards the conference schedule I don't know it really that much. Easier than what it was last year now when you talk about. You know on Paper. I would imagine that when the picks Begin to come out in the summer Miguel QB pick to win the weapon take the wind. The overall EC championship. They are from there are some holes that this team that appeal and they you know the first question that is an awful. You know what that meant -- and do. Will act as the quarterback and the leader of the team that the chemistry going to be there and executed different type a personality. You know LIQ did not care if I -- free spirit outspoken individual at quarterback. You know in a long gone and that the right got met her period and not my -- -- that that are bad news is the matter something different. And it will be a -- what type of ball. Chemistry before with the other players on the offense that Bobby you know it's pretty important for the quarterback it could be. The proven leader. And sport can be effective. Yes and then Brian with that being said and you look at -- Byrd to call it the expectation not only from the fan base the coach miles and the whole offense. And O -- what do you think. -- will come about this city is a very successful passer. I just can't -- considering how well she runs the ball to control line of scrimmage. Even to meet these -- great passer I don't see him throwing 3540 times a game. Not being beaten up -- thirty -- reporting I think the whole key is how much they throw on the -- that Duke notre because -- you know you anticipate. LSU defense is going to be pretty good. -- they do that they do it is some work in the secondary. There at the teams should be very good. So if you have very good special seen it yet. A pretty good defense you'd certainly are gonna wanna give up the ball so it. That met burger Dawkins -- winners after -- up again and you know he's gonna be permitted to throw as soon as it looked like it he has. Is eternal wrong then I'm pure luck mom say okay acted like Janet Allen -- would not wouldn't it. He -- on the ground -- think public met burger Rose will be directly related to you know how many interceptions and how well we protect the football. Senior writer tiger -- that come -- come -- brown as always it was my Garbo Jonas slowly went on recruiting front. Bob Bryant now the baseball team this past week he in the lost to a three Avalanche -- state. What are maybe some things it did you sought we visited with you last week it was it was it was that a step up in competition from the first week in and maybe you point out a few concerns -- today that in this series. Well number one Appalachian State wasn't. You know better competition and then either air what -- outward state the first week at. And they had some veteran pitchers and I think what -- taught in weekend number two was the concern their body and but is he. Their ability to hit the hit the ball and score runs. And when. Appalachian State did make -- in the their pitchers -- walker Ellis unit trouble scoring it and that's the biggest concern with this team you know last year. You know might he not that was spot bought that the number one all -- -- on the team it. And you know great lines that it had a nice season hitting about 345. But 350 in May look at it is moments. Was about the role is is -- -- work Lackey yeah Alex he's got good starting pitching and and there are probably their. Pick and there would be permitted in which you have to score a few runs because it's not then it becomes gonna put more pressure on. That the pitching staff what they get out there at the man that we get. Not. Three runs we going to be in trouble so. I think it. The concern came early it may be better that it happened out after the first conference weekend and you know pulmonary that this Sunday game the outcome gonna look at. Who we're playing with a lot of these studies and I'm not one like the state hat when things aren't going well and I can't do on that -- try to get our offense going to. You know -- -- ineptitude more than what they did -- Last week getting at Appalachian State. Happily -- that that was the first time in school history it had ever won it three game series against the BCS conference school baseball. -- Brian I would that being said by just seems like it was a rough weekend but it Tigers you've mentioning. The baseball series with the mountaineers went. How about the basketball program where you I was I was shocked that should say at the score. I mean I'm not saying about fish -- should take care of in this at Ole miss. Was it just -- one -- a special game is -- -- and Ole miss rebels are what -- veteran John thinking keg can on an all night. Mean I was a little disappointing considering it seems like. And -- you maybe had some momentum to close out there as he -- it. Well -- -- the last few games you need at the which one I thought Alex you have built a small chance of winning I was gonna say was rattled at Oxford. Just because the -- being beaten them the first time. And then what happened leading up to -- -- look LA you'd want war games in a row it would do balloons. They're not that good not good routine due to roll off they went straight game. All admit that lost three in a row they're not that bad of the team to lose four straight. So I think everything. More or less pointed to old -- You know having an advantage now. If he'd asked who would be game yeah rob wouldn't that it wouldn't surprise it's sealed the win by double digit -- the fact that they won by 24. You know that that certainly unexpected but. It really didn't surprise me. And now they have to -- -- Tennessee at home MRI Auburn on the road on Saturday -- that in their act out definite step in the league. They need one weekend to a -- A losing record in the conference and two went to have a winning record copper penny and you know and -- it. -- if LSU wins just one of these -- -- -- -- -- winning. What they losing record in the proper. It would be just the second time since that final fourteen -- note that fidelity is done so you know it. In LSU basketball -- body talked about the tradition that tradition happened ward one year ago now he's talking about the the late eighties in the early nineties and hit it the end since yet these C expanded back in not. 92 LAQ basketball really hadn't done a whole -- -- could pop up with a good team every now and then but as far as consistency. It hasn't been there for twenty years -- basketball. Senior -- -- debate that -- Brian -- Bryant thank you so much what toxin. Thought you guys are right this is sports -- a VW.
