All right.

All right.

Welcome back to a long overdue edition of Hey Fight and Podcast, brought to you by Cards and Culture, not at Cards and Culture today. We are at the Weston in Houston. It's about 9 o'clock in the morning on Wednesday, January 5th. It's a few hours and a short night of sleep after LSU's 42 to 20 loss to Kansas State in the Texas Bowl, the Tax Act, Texas

Bowl, which is hard to say if you try to say it five times fast. Very hard to say. I'm sure y'all

got a tongue-tie lesson in that, in radio over the last couple weeks. Of course, joined by

Jacob Hester. Jacob, we got a couple of things we want to get to today. One, obviously, we're going to talk about the game last night. We didn't preview it. And that was intentional on my part because I was thinking, like, how do you preview this game? Like, we may not have 40 scholarship players, don't know exactly what's going to happen at quarterback.

But I did want to kind of recap the game. And so what I want to do on this episode is briefly

look back at the game and then look ahead and look at

some of the hires that Brian Kelly has made. He was on the broadcast last night, had a couple

interesting things to stay and sort of look toward the future because I don't know when the

next time we're going to sit down and and chop it up on the podcast. We'll probably take a couple

weeks off and recover and I've got to pivot to basketball a little bit here. Big win for the Tigers last night over Kentucky. Big win for the women's team on Sunday. And it's like a massive week in the PMAQ, man. Like as soon as we're packing up and leaving after this heading back to Baton Rouge. And like as soon as I get there, it's going to be like,

I might as well just camp out in the PMAQ with everything going on. But let's talk about the game last night. What stood out for you? What takeaways do you have? Because I have takeaways, but they're not, they don't have much to do with the game itself. Yeah. I mean, if we're sitting here and looking for some takeaways from the game,
