Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to another edition of the Gold Standard podcast.

And we talk about LSU baseball in 2025.

Tigers, of course, are off to a great start, as we know.

26 and 3, as we're speaking to you today, 7 and 2 in the SEC.

Both of those records are the best for LSU since 2013.

The 2013 team was 27 and 2 through 29 games and 8 and 1 in the conference.

So this team is right there at 26 and 3 and 7 and 2 in the league.

So best start for LSU, both overall and in the league, since 12 years ago.

So joined now by my son Will Frankis.

And Will, that's pretty impressive.

Spokane the past week with LLC women's basketball. I understand it was a great trip of course the

tigers fell a little bit short but great experience I know for you and the team and we know

You know, I like to, as most people do, I like to watch sports. And so when baseball games were starting at 4 o'clock local time, like I think the Astros, I was able to watch the Astros because I was out of market. I think, yeah, it was like 4 or 5 o'clock in the game started. I'm like, I hate this. I don't like this. But yeah, no, I mean, and of course, getting to travel, I won't talk too much about this

because this is the LSU baseball.

This is an LSU baseball podcast.

But getting to go to Spokane travel with the LSU wins basketball team was just such a great experience.

I guess I'll shout out Grant, our co-worker, who's the woman's basketball
