| 0:00.0 | Definitely have to edit that one out. |
| 0:06.3 | Oh, but if you could keep that in. |
| 0:22.5 | All right. All right, welcome into another edition of Hey Fighten podcast. Hey, fighting tigers, fight all the way. |
| 0:25.1 | All right, welcome into another edition of Hey, Fighten podcast. |
| 0:27.7 | As always, I'm Cody Worship, Digital Media Reporter for LSU Athletics. |
| 0:33.9 | joined in the LSU Football Operations Building slash recruiting lounge by Jacob Hester. |
| 0:35.3 | Nice digs over here. |
| 0:36.8 | No video today. |
| 0:39.1 | We're not in the Guarantee Studios due to a scheduling conflict, but I don't know. It feels more LSU-E. It feels like we just heard Coach O walking up and down the hallway yelling about competition Tuesday. Like it feels good. I'm feeling good today. It does feel good to be back in the building. We're in these nice leather couches. is we couldn't be over in the studio let's go ahead and blame it on a Florida gator Chris |
| 0:56.4 | Doring had something with him a little bit earlier and just didn't fit to his schedule. So, you know, those Florida guys. We'll save our Florida ammunition for a couple of weeks from now. We're focused on the Bulldogs this week as LSU heads to Mississippi State for an 11 a.m. |
| 1:12.7 | I've said it once. I'll say it again. Every road game should be at 11 a.m. so that I can get home in time for dinner. |
| 1:19.2 | Super excited about that. I don't know if you know this about this game, though. There's going to be a lot of pass attempts. |
| 1:25.9 | Will Rogers through, I think, 67 last week. So you might want to temper those expectations of getting back in time for dinner. I was making plans with the neighbors. Shout out to Mitchell and Mariana podcast listeners. And I said, hey, I think I'll be home by seven. Like, let's get together and do something. We'll see. We'll see. I don't want to make any promises that I can't keep. |
| 2:01.8 | I do have some stats on those pass attempts that we'll get to in a little bit because you have two very past happy offenses in LSU and Mississippi State. So you're right. It might take a while. Hopefully there's a lot of complete passes, though, and that clock keeps running. Before we get to the Mississippi State talk, I want to do as we always do and start with the news. |
| 2:01.8 | And there's a lot of news to get to the Mississippi State talk, I want to do as we always do and start with the news. |
| 2:06.9 | And there's a lot of news to get to. I want to talk about how it impacts LSU. After that, |
| 2:10.6 | we're going to get to the Mississippi State preview. Look back in Central Michigan a little bit. |
| 2:15.1 | Special guests today on the show, Max Johnson, who we just taped an interview with in these very seats. |
| 2:51.5 | Great quick little interview with Max. He had to get to lunch. So we cut it a little bit shorter than most interviews would be, but about 10 minutes with him, which was really good and insightful. And then we'll take your questions, as always. Let's start with the news. And we'll start with the bad news. The bad news is Andre Anthony is out for the year. Right. Just saw Andre coming into football ops, talked with him a little bit. He's in good spirits, as good as spirits as you can be. Personally, for him, it's awful. It sucks. I hate every time one of these guys gets hurt, especially the guys that have been around, that have stuck around, that have made it work. And he's been playing so well. We just had him in the film room two weeks ago and he was just so sharp and you could just tell like this guy's, this guy's, he's got it. He's got the |
| 2:57.2 | knowledge. He's got the ability. He's going to have a big year. So for him to go down, |
| 3:01.5 | really disappointing. Your thoughts when you heard the news, both for Andre personally, but then maybe how it affects the team and how the team responds to losing a guy that was one of the best sack artists in the country this year coming into the game. |
| 3:16.9 | Yeah, you can really tell, like, being here for as long as he was, and Coach Joe mentioned it to me this morning, like he's been there with me. |
