Hey, what's going on? This is the Saturday down south podcast. I am Connor O'Gurah.

0:12.5

Well, we're gonna talk a whole lot of national championship here in a second, but I got

0:18.4

to ask from the jump. Watching the Texas Bowl as an LSU fan was like what?

0:26.2

I was confusing. I'm gonna be honest with you. It was really confusing. I didn't really know

0:31.3

how to feel. You have numerous members of the team that are, you know, national champions,

0:36.3

part of maybe the greatest season in college football history, and the end result, kind of,

0:41.0

you know, the swan song for Edo Jaron's tenure at LSU, who is this team with 39 scholarship

0:45.8

players that has a receiver at quarterback. Shout out to John Trey Kirkland, by the way,

1:27.3

care what your skill set says you can do. If you're Pig Cage, you're getting on the football field,

1:31.8

you're making some plays. Yeah, the Kirkland stuff was, it was cool to see. As much as that

1:36.1

game felt just like a total disaster, and when you are looking at the roster, the coaching staff,
