Hey Fighting Tigers

All right, welcome into another edition of Hey Fightin' Podcast.

Cody Worsham joined by Harrison Valentine.

Glad to be back in the studio. Glad to be back in the studio. Glad to be back

in football season. Glad to be inside because it's freaking hot outside Harrison. And you've

been outside more than I have. For those who don't know, Harrison has been out at just about

every practice this fall while I've been chilling in South Stadium doing administrative work and not getting dehydrated.

But Harrison's been out there grinding and watching the Tigers through a week and some change

now of fall camp.

So we figured we'd sit down, talk about the fall.

We're going to get Hester in in the next week or two to get back to the regular hayfighting podcast programming, which is basically me leaving, and you guys talking, which the audience probably prefers, if we're being honest.

Harrison, how are you? Are you hydrated? Are you wearing your sunscreen? I'm hydrated. The one thing I will say is I feel like football has kind of crept up on us a little bit. We've been distracted at LSU winning championships. Women's basketball kind of took us to baseball. Baseball kind of took us to football. Usually there's this whole buildup in the summer with football. But I prefer it the other way where we're winning championships and not, you know, thinking about as much as football.

baseball winning a national championship in that run, you know, going back to women's basketball,

but then baseball goes to the draft. He has number one-two, picking the draft. Like on LSU Gold, we've got three series on our guys that got drafted for the MLB draft this year with Skeens, Cruz, and Trey Morgan. And it's like as soon as you finish those, you move on to football, and now we're planning for the fall. So it does get here faster and faster every year, especially when you're winning championships. And speaking of championships, this is a team that's

coming off in SEC West Championship. And it was funny, whether it was Mike Denbrock talking

yesterday, which maybe we'll touch on a little bit, whether it's Coach Kelly talking the first

day of fall camp at his press conference. This team is definitely

further along than it was a year ago. And sort of the theme for me of this camp is kind of like

to paraphrase what Coach Kelly said in that first press conference was everything that we do

this year, we should do a little bit better. And I'm wondering if that's what you're seeing

out there. Of course, this is an LSU podcast. So You're not allowed to talk bad about the Tigers Harrison. But no,
