beginning of my career, I had to block out the negative noise. And there was a lot of negative

noise. I couldn't let it affect me. And there was no way I would. And I knew the other team

would listen to it and stuff like that, but, you know, it was about blocking out the noise. And

then early in my career at LSU, we faced some adversity, I mean, some strong adversity.

And it was time to block out the noise.

And we can see through that adversity, it made us stronger.

And I do believe the loss of Troy was a turning point in our program.

It helped us realize what we had to get done, what we had to do as coaching staff,

as players.

We can never let our hands down.

We always have our hands up and ready to prepare for every game.

I think that, fight all the way.

Hey, everybody.

Welcome to a long-awaited edition of Hey, Fightin Podcast, the official podcast of LSU Football, as always, but not as frequently

as used to be.

I'm Cody Worship, digital media reporter for LSU Athletics.

I want to start, obviously I played an audio clip there at the beginning, and I'll get to that

in a second, and why I played that.

I want to start by answering the question that I've gotten most over the last few weeks on Twitter and DMs, even some text messages, even some phone calls.

Cody, where has Hey, Fighten podcast been?

I even got the question from one listener in a voicemail question, which you can always send in, just read the episode description at the bottom.

This one's from Christian Hurston.
