Then we’ll have the head ball coach of the baseball team Kevin oou so we’ll talk a little basball uh Gator win last night 8280 had a 20-point lead give the Tigers some credit for coming coming back yeah I already have a million texts here about we can’t hold
It look both both teams last time I checked LSU get scholarships yeah LSU is coached you sure they’re not all walk on we played extremely well and shot like 70% to get that 20-point lead they’re GNA make runs so the bottom line is winning the basketball game you could be
Uh A&M who lost on a buzzer beater to the commodes up in vany crazy basketball last night I mean so so Paul Paul says here on Facebook live teams now have a formula to beat us play a Zone we get stagnant too much dly look to beat zones you got to make shots
And when you miss shots which all teams go through it we could be North Carolina today they lost at sorry ass Syracuse last night okay you won the game move on and get ready for Georgia I mean you know in the ACC they’re lucky if they
Get five teams in the big dance I think you would you think about it uh this is a tough League you know even the mediocre teams like LSU can give you headaches but I I I think Florida you know the only thing that really concerned me last night was I think if
We get into some close games at the end of the year free throws are going to be an important thing and they only shot 60% last night they’ve had a better free throw shooting I think in recent games though so uh perhaps the confidence is getting back but you know with Florida
It’s about to guard play and Clayton last night was the answer if it’s not him it’s Richard if it’s not Richard it’s it’s um uh uh pulling pulling but I think that Florida you know 82 points you know that’s the way I look at it 82
Points and um you know another win and they’re 17 and seven right now overall and that would be something like fifth or sixth in the league you know keep it going you got two tough games coming up on the road I know George is uh slumping
Right now but there will be nothing easy about that game we all remember the way Georgia came back in the second half up here and uh and forced overtime in the last time last game they played and then of course you’re going to have to go to
Alabama and make a bunch of baskets to keep up with them so a tough week coming up but um but you know you held to home court uh and you defended it uh in the last two games and by the way I do not feel like this is baseball weather but I
Am excited about the baseball team and what Kevin o is going to tell us here in a few minutes on the podcast because this team is ranked number two in D1 baseball number two and I know lost a lot of good players though boy but they did but they reload
Man that’s what Florida does it reloads just like the Oklahoma softball team patty gaso just reloads Florida’s gonna be fine and they’re ranked number two everybody knows they lost players but they’re still ranked number two starting off the year Tex tit newmore text line from Le
And Lake City says asked corn dog about last night when uf’s Golden Boy and men’s basketball had both SEC network announcers Tom Hart and Dane Bradshaw begging for a phantom foul on the last LSU possession at the end of the game well look I mean I’m surprised the LSU
Guy missed that shot there at a force overtime he’s wide open from three feet but I I mean LSU only has themselves to blame for missing that shot nobody touched that guy did you see him get fouled on that last shot not really I
Don’t think he did but if he did he did if he didn’t he did listen they they almost came back but almost is isn’t good enough and if you win by two or if you win by 20 it counts the same QB did you know that it last time I checked it
Does yeah it sure does and we you know in the SEC it’s hard to win on the road LSU almost forced overtime but they lost okay and Miss lost to Kentucky and uh you know so forth so you know Virginia though the mighty Cavaliers uh you know
Having a a hot run right now they get bombed at home by the Pittsburgh Panthers last night by 11 points how about you know North Carolina the mighty tar Hills they lose to Syracuse I mean this is a long slob man it’s a grind in the basketball world as we go through
February into March It’s a Grind these dudes right here are playing great basketball and right now they’re one of the hotter teams in the country but you know not everybody can can turn it on and off every night and I was a little concerned about the let down factor with
LSU coming in but they jump out to a big enough lead to hold on in the second half QB that’s all there is to it yeah on YouTube brought you by quality R says Shane I know this off topic wish you could get the goat Mike Holloway on your
Show Mouse has been on my show multiple times we’ll get him on these guys are busy that’s what people don’t understand they’re busy they don’t they don’t just sit around wanting to go on my damn show I could probably you that yeah8 o’clock 8 AM they are working well they’re
Probably in meetings or they’re traveling I mean yeah a lot of stuff is you know they just don’t sit around and worry about podcast right now there was somebody on here I wanted to read um oh Brian says no no this is uh Daniel I didn’t see a foul by the way
Shane had you had to have seen the transfer portal commercial if you watch game I had a couple people email me the transer portal commercial I’ve not watched it because I’ve been busy uh but here’s how I watch games it’s funny I do not watch commercials I to another game
Yes I probably watch more of the A&M ending and missed a lot our game because it was pretty good how about that you know A&M big winners at home everybody thinks they’re they’re the the hot thing and then they lose to the worst team in
The league so y it this is SEC grind It’s a Grind It’s a Grind It’s a Grind just I I just can’t I can’t preach that enough radw is a family-owned business that provides itself an excellent customer service while providing quality and affordable promotional products and customized apparel uh we got JC will’ll
Be doing our Peach dentl golf picks for Riviera here momentarily we’ll have Kevin ullin j i i screenshot this I thought this was interesting I saw yesterday back to the National Football League let me pull it up here it was a comparison between Andy Reid and Kyle
Shanahan so listen to Andy Reed gez uh he went from 2001 through 2004 with the with the Eagles yeah he went NFC Championship loss NFC Championship loss NFC Championship loss Super Bowl LW yeah and then 15 years later won his first Super Bowl Shanahan’s gone from 19
To 23 Super Bowl loss Championship loss Championship loss Super Bowl loss so I mean well yeah they’re both damn good coaches that’s all can’t blame you can’t blame Kyle when he was the OC for the Atlanta Falcons they well that didn’t even that’s not even out here I
Know but he was the OC for the Falcons and they should have won it if their coach hadn’t made a CR critical error in judgment in the fourth quarter we’ve talked about this ad nauseum but Kyle is just uh he’s just snake bit right now QB I mean San Francisco played good enough
To win that game it could have gone either way we all know this but nobody had any doubt that Pat momes was going to take the Chiefs down the field and either get a field goal or win the game nobody had any doubt about it QB and
That’s why he is a rare talent that you should just Embrace and watch him play some folks don’t like him because they say he whines a lot if he doesn’t get his way some folks love him though because they say he’s the next generational well he is a generational
He the he will be the best to ever play the game so so there you have it but you cannot deny whether you have a bias and don’t like him or if you do like him you cannot deny his results otherwise you’re just you can’t be taken seriously if you
Do the guy is a s supreme Supreme obvious talent and I I think the Chiefs they’re going to draft look I think they’re going to keep most of their team intact they need wide outs they’re going to draft some players to help out on the offensive side but man Chris Jones you
Know he’s gonna have to be resigned he only signed a one-year deal and he was just as responsible in my opinion for winning that Super Bowl as anybody and so um they know that they’re not idiots and they’ll get him you know they gave him a huge incentive Laden contract
Begin the season they gave him a good you know annual salary but he wants a long-term deal like quinon Williams with the jet sign something like that uh you know the 90 to $115 million range I think he’s still got plenty of tread left on the tires give him a fiveyear
Deal and let him right off into the sunset in Kansas City he’s won you two Super Bowls or helped you win at least two Super Bowls you keep that dude you don’t let him go and they won’t yeah I don’t think Tony Tony being very serious says Mahomes athleticism reminds him of
Me um I I hid most of my talent there uh I didn’t use it all all to the my ability I like Tony Tony Tony has this sense of humor that I really do relate to like uh Jerry ask is Tony Tony is funny as hell cadus Tony
Going go from the Chiefs uh I don’t know what his contract situation is but I if he’s still under contract I think they release him yeah they won without him I mean he’s I’m telling you I he’s a he was a great player at times uh both in
College and the pros he is not an every down wide receiver you can count on he just does not catch the ball well people people want to criticize me for saying that but that’s a fact people why would they criticize you for saying that are
They not watching I mean I don’t I don’t know I get criticized like JC but I really Q you’re in the spotlight you know you’ve got the number one rated 8 AM podcast in the area in the world uh well in this area you’re number one bro
Rod says momes and party goes to show you those recruiting rankings don’t mean much both were three stars all about coaching a kid who has heart uh yeah I mean momes Mahomes is a like I said the other day the highest rated quarterback in the Super Bowl was Jaan Jennings who
Ended up being a wide receiver in college and in the pros he was the highest rated out of everybody in that game but Mahomes has a unique skill set pery will play a long long time because he just does things you can’t teach and listen Mahomes would have played a year
Earlier if Alex Smith wasn’t starting uh you know they let Alex Smith run it out and Mahomes stood on the sideline That season the entire year I don’t know if people know that he was on the roster when Alex Smith played his final season in Kansas City did you know that QB yeah
I knew that okay yeah he’s been in the league seven years he’s been a starter for six years that’s right so he had they could wait they couldn’t wait to get him in there they just couldn’t afford to sit Alex Smith because of what they were paying back yeah Rodney wants
To know did we find a strength and conditioning coach I’ve not heard but it doesn’t mean they’re not lifting weights Rodney I promise you they are there’s enough people in that building that know how to lift weights I wouldn’t worry guys Tony Tony says Chad at Planet Fitness will be the new strength
Coach may we have JC be the new strength coach oh hey more do another one another rep another rep another rep let’s go keep going I I I just these are things that I am amazed people think about I just I’m amazed I it’s just what they
Think about I guess and and it’s not a criticism not I’m not trying to criticize you guys if you want to think about these assistants you go had for but it just is not uh that interesting to me George on the titanum r hotline says Shane what did you think about
Clayton’s dunk last night man it was one of the best dunks I’ve ever seen guys I I love he’s only about 61 I think remember guys to winning the tournament you must have great guard play and we do have great guards and they’ve got some Ballers on that side of the court and
They’ve got a nice mix of height to play in the front Court I’m not a basketball expert I’m five foot eight and a half almost nine okay but I can watch enough to tell you that guard play W I’ve watched it the final four my whole life
Guard play is why they win and um you know you could get the occasional big guy like Anthony Davis to take over a game certainly but it’s guard play guard play guard play and that’s what’s GNA keep you alive I think in the term they
Force that uh Greg says can we get Riley cougle’s dad to be our strength coach just because the guy’s big does not mean he’s a good strength coach who knows what he’s drinking or taking he is he is an imposing individual though he’s a big guy he’s a big guy but just because
You’re big he’s all probably all stiff and can’t move you don’t want people that are stiff oh yeah uh Gan Jean wanted to know if you’re buying any of the new tiger Sunday apparel that you know he he partnered with Taylor Made and so he has
A new logo it’s basically like a it looks like one of the old Bengals logos quite honestly it’s the whole body of the Tiger but it’s called Sunday something I think Sunday apparel well he’s the host I will not buy any of it by the way I don’t care for that kind of
Stuff what does it mean when when they say tigerwood is hosting the Genesis invitation what what is he hosting does he like how do you host the tournament so his name is on there because he’s a I think he does commercials for the Genesis vehicles does that mean he
Invites you to the big party on Wednesday night I don’t know if there’s a party or what but um I don’t know hosted by Tiger Woods it’s hosted I mean you have to be invited T Tiger’s hosting you but uh it’s a good tournament it’s
The biggest one I think on this side of the country at this time of year before they moved to Florida so yeah Natt says you’re stretching it on your height JC N I saw that at the baseball I know 5 eight and a half that’s what it is
That’s what it is that’s 5 eight and a half and a half Joseph Joseph who who I’m trying to bring some positivity into Joseph’s life a Sunday red is what it’s called there’s the logo they just put it up there that’s a terrible logo by the way um
Right Jean says JC is 5’8 with shoes on but but uh Joseph said JC if this assistants don’t matter let’s quit giving Billy a pass all the shenanigans that happen must be his fault the assistants don’t matter listen I’m not saying they don’t matter but I am amazed at the case study
Of the constant attention to the assistance and I don’t give Billy a pass I have flat out said he has been uh below par as you would keep it at Florida standards in these first two years you cannot deny the record it’s like Dennis Green always said folks you
Are what your record says you are and he is a 11 14 that is not a pass and I don’t give him a pass but you cannot you you cannot you have to accept the fact that he’s not going anywhere folks because of the contractual obligations the University of Florida made to him
Just forget it they’re not letting them go this year they’re not letting him go next year I think he’s got at least two more years to fix this system and to get this team right even if he goes three and eight next year three and nine I
Don’t think they’re gonna let him go because I don’t think they want to write the check and they don’t want to have the turnover constant like Auburn you know we’re not Auburn Auburn is the most dysfunctional program in the Southeastern Conference when it comes to coaches they can’t get it right and how
Many people out there in Auburn are jumping up and down for he freeze right now after the what he just put him through he’s gonna be fine I think they’ll be good but he still didn’t get a quarterback in this offseason so I you know you tell me he’s not the guy
Playing so I listen Florida’s this guy’s not going anywhere but I’m not giving him a pass his record is is lousy 31 m bur on YouTube says what do you mean I don’t buy that kind of stuff referring to I I’m a big logo guy and brand uh I I
Ain’t gonna buy a tailor made golf shirt I don’t like Tiger’s logo I never bought anything with the tww on it I just didn’t like it I I buy I buy about well I’m fortunate that I I’m given some of it but I don’t wear I’ve yet to wear a
Jordan brand shirt uh Polo because think it’s silly quite honestly I’ll wear the hell out of some Peter malar Johnny O or Vineyard Vines or any of that kind of stuff it fits me better and it’s better quality it’s mostly golf golf related stuff but I don’t I’m a logo guy uh I
Absolutely love the swinging Gator it’s my favorite logo there is uh there’s some Gator logos I do not like I do not like the bubble font Gator script I won’t wear anything with that on it I hate it I don’t like so that’s what that’s what I meant 31 I I I think
Tiger’s logo I I really don’t like it at all do you like the old 70 80s Gator logo with the U and the F the alligator standing laying there it’s a circle the pale they call it the pale logo I do like that logo it’s a good
Logo yeah to me I mean you know the barrel chest Gator with the be I like I think they need to go back to the old Albert absolutely th% the robo Gator never did it for me when Foley hired a New York consulting firm and overpaid
For that logo I I i’ never jumped on board but that’s what it is the the the robot Gator face that they currently have you know with the I don’t know what that is you’re talking about the the the circle Gator yeah oval Gator no the yeah
The one right now yeah you the gator head yeah everybody wears that’s not a robo Gator Gat it’s cartoon Gator I’m not a big fan but but I you know listen Q they they did what they did you know it’s kind of like exact Tech Arena at
The Steven seal Connell Center on Billy Donovan Court it’s just too much there’s too much there that’s too much too much yeah too many teeth C teeth on that Florida script I agree with Tony I do like the Florida script so um anyway we’re we’re regressing here on um well
We’re talking about your school QB I mean I went there for two years to yeah I wouldn’t call that Mike Mike says he likes The Stomping gator I’m not sure what the Stomping Gat is I don’t know what that is so um I likeo yeah the pel
Logo is the one I like a lot yeah you like that one okay uh ett says on YouTube brought to you by quality pluming what was the black national anthem doing at the Super Bowl wonder what Don Chula would say I didn’t see any of the national anthem so I I didn’t
Even know that was the I didn’t know there was a black National see see how much I don’t know um I didn’t know about that 31 EMB says if tiger can design some cool shoes he will succeed I would say he has succeeded uh he is wearing foot Joys
He’s not doing shoes he it’s already been said the clothing line and hat line will be done by Taylor Made and the shoes he will wear will be foot Choice well now that we’ve got Tiger Woods dressed up and now that he’s hosting I think we’ve covered the freaking La
Genesis other than but we haven’t we got to do our PE dinner Dentistry Gator nation is number one choice for DTI Port Charlotte surrounding areas visit them at Peachland dental.com it’s our golf KCK for the week all right all right JC you go first yeah I I’m gonna start it
Off with a guy who I thought played quite well last week kind of was uh under the radar but he is a three-time major champion and that would be one Jordan SP from the University of Texas I’m gonna go with thinking a longhorn I will go with a cal bear for my first
Pick oh yeah and I will take Colin morawa yeah he’ll play well on this course um very comfortable in this setting uh with the grass there La all that okay so that’s uh that’s not a surprise I think I’m gonna go with another guy who um I I think he’s coming
Back from a just a awful injury he’s a young guy this is kind of a long shot but I think he’s a supreme Talent when he’s healthy and that’s will zator Willie Willie Z who’s a great player but he’s been he’s been bang up back uh Tony wants me to pick bong
Tha B Bong Bong by taon that’s the best I’m not gonna pick byon I’m gonna I’m gonna pick another California kid from the Pepperdine wave sah theala played real on him last week you were on him last week CU putter let him down on Sunday
But he’s a great hitter of the golf ball uh and here’s another great striker of the golf ball Tony final Tony FAL is gonna be my third pick all right I’m gonna go with Cameron young bomber he’s an absolute bomber but he hasn’t won yet you get one more pick

My last pick I’m gonna go with J young Kim better known as Tom I mean no kidding QB you are so repetitive on your picks you pick almost not really not really oh really no not really well you haven’t picked a shle yet do you ever
Sit around on the weekend looking at it and think of what you picked on Wednesday I do I come back in my I go back into to the office and I look and see what I jotted down here yeah and sometimes there’s going to be a one day
When I pick nothing but South Koreans the entire roster you have you have to pronounce their names everyone so so I was uh I forgot where we were playing golf it was last weekend and somehow we were waiting for the group in front of
Us and oh no no it’s because the guy I was playing with is like best friends with uh Paul tor and so he’s like yeah he just got Tom Kim I said lude he didn’t really know much about Tom kimman I filled him in on J young I said look I
Love the South Koreans and one of your your very close friends go well why don’t you like the North Koreans I said well I don’t think they play go that’s question you know you don’t know that see he wouldn’t even know that the North Koreans don’t play golf yeah
He even know that he would all right so that’s our that’s our Peach Land dentl uh picks for the week for the North Koreans QB um Joseph back to by the way who is the president of North who’s the dictator of North Korea what’s his name I we were trying to
Think of his name we know it’s that crazy ass dude what me tell you what it is it’s like um something Kim or yeah it’s a kimim nobody car Kim Jong Kim Jong or something yeah no Kim Jong who cares just ask Joseph says QB I saw Florida Victorious is building a second
House with Habitat for Humanity don’t get me wrong I think the gestur very nice but isn’t it their job to raise money for nil and not Bill Holmes no wonder we don’t uh no wonder where’ it go it went away so anyway so here’s how Florida Victorious it’s part of their contract
So if JC is a fullback that’s part of Florida Victorious and getting paid EXT amount of dollars through nil through Florida Victorious he is obligated to participate in different charity events whether it’s at the bread Almighty you got to go there and volunteer or you got
To go help build a house if you don’t show up you get docked your pay if you’re late you get dock pay so it’s kind of part of their job um so that I don’t know if that helped explain it but that’s why they’re doing those type of
Things well speaking of jobs uh I think Dartmouth voted to unionize their basketball team by the way their basketball team’s not that good but in the IB league for all those keeping score Yale is the team that looks to make the tournament this year they’re
The best team and by the way QB in basketball tonight I had to mention this because you know we talk about all the good teams all the time but how about this one tonight in Detroit where the Detroit Mercy Titans are zero and 26 are you serious hosting the IU
Pui can you tell me what that stands for that would be Indiana University Purdue University at IU Pui in Indianapolis right and that’s exactly right and they are six and 20 they are the Jaguars and the Detroit Mercy tiger Titans at 0o and 26 11th in the Horizon League are a five
And a half Point favorite just just a little nugget there on tonight’s basketball they have not won a basketball game that’s zero and 26 but they are a five and a half Point favorite over the Jaguars SN in Detroit how about that I wonder what kind of J
How weird how weird is that school iupp pu because you got two instate uh five schools or whatever you want institutions yeah but they’re one combined little small College that’s you know you got the hooers and the bowler maker fans I don’t even know what II
Mascot is it’s I just told you it’s a it’s a Jaguar oh they’re the Jaguars okay they’re the Jaguars and they they play in Indianapolis that’s where the school is in Indianapolis and of course Detroit Mercy is in Detroit zero and 26 uh but they’re a favorite tonight I want
Say Detroit Mercy’s back where like dick vau coached at one point Detroit Mercy that’s it yeah and uh well you know what are you gonna say uh I I didn’t know a team that was zero and 261 I didn’t either I had no idea that and their
Favor huh I had to point that out I had to point that out uh tonight in the league in our league uh you’ve got a really good game tonight in alurn QB between the the very loose and confident South Carolina Gamecocks Columbia is now a basketball City where’s this game at
It’s in Auburn so they are laying 11 and a half points to the game Cops somebody was telling I heard a story yesterday about the game Cops who were at the Atlantis Casino in the Bahamas I think earlier at some point I don’t know when it was but the the basketball team was
On the floor playing Blackjack and the basketball team was doing some really goofy things like splitting face cards splitting p and but they were at the table just just yucking it up and hammering it up and having a great time this is a very so the point of of that
Story is that I think you’ve got a very loose and confident basketball team that like each other and they are playing like they like or or kids that don’t know how to play Blackjack and kid and and the moral the story is if anybody at your table splits face cards or splits
You get out of there as fast as you can cash out shove them in the middle leave the dealer a five doll chip and get the hell out of there man because they will screw up your deck if there is such a thing all right JC this is for you this
Is this is for you live a healthier lifestyle with our Bowl flavorful smoothies and our amazing food Tropical Smoothie when you eat better JC you feel better oh that is a fact and I like I said I got on the sushi over the weekend brother at by taong and I felt fantastic
Over the weekend that no bloating no gas it was wonderful by taon the best sushi on A1A I’m gonna call them and see if they want to sponsor the show um and and they can sponsor the Korean golfer of the week even though I don’t think it’s
Korean I think it’s Thailand uh it’s Thai food but it’s sushi it’s amazing it’s so they would like uh it Christian bz an he Tai bid height how you pronounce it right uh the other game tonight we’re going to have a pronounce contest see if we can get
These guys names down Tennesse is at Arkansas QB Tennessee got bombed the other day at Texas S&M and Arkansas has been a colossal disappointment this year with uh with musan Eric musman uh Tennessee eight and a half Point favorite in Arkansas could go you know I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Hogs
Win but but Tennessee is a big favorite in that game so those are the only two conference games I think we have tonight A lot of them yeah I think I think some other teams have their bye before Saturday so there you go there you go

It we stand by it we’re going to go back to the tit more hotline courtesy of Duffield Home Improvements we’re join by the head baseball coach for the Gator Kevin O Sullivan coach how you doing appreciate you taking the time to join the program you got it Shane coach first
Question for you um you know as an athlete coach compe compor I got to ask you how tough was this all season being so close to winning another National Title yeah yeah it could be uh it could be difficult you know I I’ve you know I’ve always said that you know it’s it
These things are really hard to get over but you got to move on right so um you know a few inches here or there with Wyatt’s ball they hit to left field and first game against LSU could have obviously changed the direction of the ending there but um
You know and then obviously we did not play as well as we wanted to the last game yeah it’s difficult to get over but obviously I love the challenge of being able to you know get a new roster and figure out the strength and weaknesses and hopefully put ourselves in position
Again to uh have that opportunity again yeah no doubt about it uh you know preseason polls whatever you want to make of that uh I think D1 baseball has Us number two in America obviously lost some really good players with Langford Rivera ryel just just talk about some
Guys that you’re you’re counting on to take you know to step in for those guys well I’ll agree with you the preseason polls don’t mean anything I would disagree with their their their high ranking so far I mean we’ve got a lot of stuff to obviously figure out and
Things to get better at but um just looking at roster um Luke Hyman is is someone that kind of flies under the radar for whatever reason but he had a great freshman year behind the plate obviously played behind BT behind but he’s really turned the corner for us and
I think he’s he’s he’s going to have a great year another one that kind of flies under the radar for whatever Reas is Kate Kurland our second baseman and I think both those guys are extremely extremely important to our team not only because of you know they play you know
Premium positions but they have a chance to hopefully protect Jack in the lineup you know in front and behind him so um we’ve got we’ve got some good players um returning that have gotten better obviously you know the portals changed recruiting quite a bit and Kobe Shelton um infielder from Alabama’s coming in
And made a great impact for us and we’ve got quite a few other guys but yeah our our roster is totally different in terms of um Personnel but we certainly have enough players that hopefully we can compete at the highest level Andy’s question on Facebook live brought to you
By metal law he wants to know where will Colby Shelton bat in the lineup and how how important of an addition was he well he’s uh he’s really important I mean you know I I don’t know the exact number but if you go through the rosters
In the SEC last year of the starting Short Stops in our league how many guys came out of the portal I think it was like eight or nine out of 14 teams so that just goes to show you that that there’s a little bit less patience so to
Speak for that you know for shortstop position you know I guess you could say that in football too with the quarterback position right like you can’t win with freshman or at least it’s difficult to win with freshman um in certain positions and but where he’ll hitting the lineup um you know I’m still
Trying to toy with that right now if the lineup you know I think we’re going to see a right-handed pitcher not that that matters on Friday night but it’ll probably go Michael Robertson one um and then two Kate klin three Jack four Luke and then probably
Five um you know Kobe Shelton and then obviously shell nut and and and the other guys se you know 78 n but right now that’s probably where he’s going to hit probably open night is probably fif coach has there been one player that you know during fall ball like just really
Really improved and you feel like can come out of nowhere and help the team this year yeah I I I think you know you know we kind of spoke a little bit about Luke um you know Dale Thomas is like that guy for me he he brings energy to
The field every day he’s a fifth year senior he had success at Coastal he’s kind of waited his turn and I’m I’m hoping that he has the year that we all think he can but it’s one of those rare occasions at least in our sport that
Guys stick around for five years or four years um and end up having great you know great last year most of our guys have the opportunity to sign after their junior year or senior year and move on but he’s one of those rare occasions that he’s around for his fifth year and
I’m hoping he has a great year and ends you know you know ends on a real positive note pitch and rotation you’re gonna start the season uh Kate fiser gets the ball uh takes the mound Friday night Jack’s gonna pitch on day three who’s pitching uh the the second
Game that’s going to be Liam p peton he’s a freshman we haven’t had a freshman start in you know in a few years um on the weekend but he’s special you’ll see him Shane he’s um he looks apart he you know he’s got a great arm got a really good breaking ball like
He’s you know hopefully he stays healthy and everything goes the way we expect it to go but he’s he’s the next one that ends up being or hopefully can end up being like a really high pick when he leaves here and J’s question is on Facebook live has Jack gotten more
Control of his pitches the kid uh is electric when he hits his spots yeah that’s that’s the million-dollar question right um he has gotten better I mean he’s gotten better I mean I think it’s it’s more emotional for him it’s not it’s not mechanics it’s
Not it’s just his you know he’s you know he’s a competitor and you know you played at the highest level and you know you’ve seen or you know played with guys that have similar traits like personality wise like he wants Perfection and when he doesn’t get it
And sometimes he can get a bit frustrated with himself but he has gotten better but I said this yesterday when we did press conferences we’re not looking for Jack to be perfect or you know you know to change who he is maybe we can limit times that he gets
Frustrated with himself um which will obviously help his his performance but at the end of the day you know he is what he is he’s competitive as you know as anybody else out there and you know sometimes guys try to be perfect in you know imperfect Sport and that’s the
Battle right so but he’s gotten better but when he does to strikes he’s he’s really good and when he doesn’t um you know it’s our job as coaches to help him you know hopefully navigate through that just still have success but not change who he is yeah uh jokingly here Russell
On YouTube brought to you by Qui Plumas says please ask Sully if he has had a chance to work on his counting in the All Season what did he do with the T-shirt didn’t you auction it off yeah I auctioned it off yeah yeah we auctioned that thing off I um I was
Actually glad to you know to auction it off I didn’t want anything to do with it but actually you know right from the beginning Mindy uh my wife she she I wouldn’t say she forced me to do it but yeah she kind of did force me to do it
Uh I didn’t want to wear wear the t-shirt that morning I didn’t want any added attention I didn’t get any sleep um but all in all the fans were great about it and they uh yeah yeah it it was it was a good joke for everybody for a
Bit but um yeah I’m still hearing about it to this day but you know 2024 is right right right right right in front of us so I’d like to kind of move on from that t-shirt deal uh Jimmy on the Titan Mar text line as says coach do you
Think Brandon Ney is the best closer in the in the country well yeah I’m biased but yeah I do and and I say that for a couple reasons number one the last couple times out he’s been Dynamite like the the command stuff has been on point um it’s
It’s an extremely difficult role to handle level you have to not only be talented but you have to sometimes give up a little bit of what you want because everybody wants to start right so he’s unselfish he’s taken that role and you know he’s he’s done it um he did it last
Year and he’s gonna you know even be better this year so yeah for me I love Brandon NE he’s a gamer once once the spring rolls around you know he’s ready to go so he’s he’s looked really really sharp in practice so I’m looking forward
To seeing how he does this year but I would expect him to be one of the best closes in the country for sure all right two more questions we’ll get you out of here your thoughts on the new format for the uh SEC tournament um that’s a good question
Shane um I me personally I um I would rather stay with the 12 team tournament um in normal years we get 10 teams in the regional now that we’re at at Oklahoma and Texas you would think that we’d be able to get 11 or 12 teams in the
Tournament um and with that being said I think the SEC tournament which is a great great event an unbelievable event the people in Hoover do an unbelievable job I think we could set a precedent that if you make the SEC tournament you know and you’re in then you should be
You know rewarded for have an opportunity to go to the NCAA tournament and I think that would be a great precedent to S if if honestly if we finish 13th or 14th or 15th in the league in in one particular year if things don’t go right I’d rather be on
The road recruiting honestly um and trying to fix my roster for the following year and I think it’s going to be difficult for fans you know you would travel five six seven hours you know and with your team potentially going to play one game and you’re done I I it’ll be
Really interesting to see how the fans um you know how this affects the fans support during that tournament because it’s been a great tournament I just hope this doesn’t affect you know you know obviously the attendance yeah all right last thing for you I may have asked you
This before but I can’t remember but congratulations on your contract extension but why has there never been that I can think of you know Jim Harbaugh wins a national title goes and coaches in the National Football League why hasn’t there been a lot of college head baseball coaches have that
Opportunity to jump straight to the majors is it because of all the minor league managers waiting their turn or what uh but why doesn’t that ever happen like you know for the vanity coach yourself some of these really successful college baseball coaches um it’s a good question I don’t
Know it’s like any else there’s there’s long-term you know ideas of how things work baseball’s more you know seems to be more of an old school even though there’s obviously new ideas and those things involved in the game but I just I I really don’t have an answer for that
But they’re two totally different jobs right like the college job you’re living you know in a in a college town and you know if we have kids you’re raising kids in one spot the pr gam is a bit different you know it’s it’s it’s a lot more travel it’s it’s a lot more
Difficult to raise a family um I don’t really have an answer to that but I do think at some point it will change like with everything else everything seems to evolved but baseball just has not gotten to that point that you know at this point but we’ll see at some point
Somebody will jump the pitching coach at Arkansas a few years ago um got the head job uh or the pitching coach job with the uh with the twins and he came back to college went to LSU for a year and now he’s the head coach of Georgia so
You know it has happened it’s been few and far between but you know hopefully at some point you know that’ll change a little bit more yeah Sully appreciate your time good luck this season uh we’ll be watching and we’ll talk to you soon my man you guys thanks Jane yes sir

Of stuff is going on I think lacrosse cranks up this week as well and um again basketball good win last night blew a big Lee give LSU a little bit credit but the gator found a way to win so uh they keep rolling along Andy says are
You a bigger Gator softball fan or baseball I like both uh but I’m big softball I’ve been out to Oklahoma City a couple of times every time we go we lose in the national championship series so I don’t go back um that’s kind of what I do so the races Sunday yeah still
Going to be wet I still think it’s going to get delayed so anyway um Dan says Reagan Walsh went three for three with a home run and a brown has a one hitter yeah it’s going to be fun to watch these young arms they have uh good young young
Softball team uh but once conference play starts it’s going to be brutal and then next year when the Sooners roll in oh my goodness they’re on a different level uh yeah Michael says Sunday’s the 500 it will be wet no question about it uh it’s going to rain all weekend
Unfortunately uh Gator travel Saturday uh play the Georgia Bulldogs another opportunity to get a a good win on the road so uh that’ll do it for today’s program uh tomorrow we’ll have Bren be to college football analy get some news and notes from him what’s going on uh

Oklahoma you’re closer to U than you are Gainesville uh so anyway have a great day folks have a great Valentine and we will talk to you soon see you tomorrow take Care

Curious to see how the Gators baseball team performs this season.
I’m guessing Florida Victorious is helping to build houses for habitat for humanity for tax purposes, too.
New favorite golfer: Buy Thai Tong
Thank you for part of reason to do volunteer work for FL Victorious.
JC if Auburn is one of the most dysfunctional programs in the country, then how is it that they are winning more football games than we are?
JC is crazy. The current gator logo is fantastic. I like the old school logos as well.
There is no such thing as a black national anthem
To "beat zones" like Shane said, "you shoot over it."
Or my personal favorite is you DRIVE THE DAMN BALL INTO THE ZONE and "dribble penetrate." Either attempting to score or pass it off the drive. "Off the bounce," as the coaches like to say.
I think last night they fell asleep and with that lead it’s easy to do and basketball it’s easy to come back after 1 three pointer and another 2 and then another 3. That’s 8 points in less than a minute when a team is on a run. We definitely need to learn how to close out a game and stay awake if we get a lead and STOP TURNING THE BALL OVER in the final minutes of the games. Kuegal played great but those costly turnovers really hurt. Pullin kept us in it yet he had big mistakes as well and then when we go cold we go ice cold like jack titanic cold. But we have a great team that can do some damage in the post season. Go gators!! Finish strong!!!! 💪💯💯🐊🐊🐊🐊
