Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello everybody, Welcome back in to another edition of Behind
Kentucky Baseball here on the UK Sports Network. Darren Heddrick
joined by my co host Darren Williams. We call him
Coach Dub here these days, doing a great job off
the field as well. And the last couple of episodes
we've had some returners. Now we're going to jump back
in with some more meat the cats, with some new faces.

(00:21):
And this should be a fun show because we've got
some guys who have seen the lights and are on
the right side of the dugout now.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Right, amen.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Amen.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
Well, it's also gonna be a good episode, man. We
gotta learn this new offense that we're we got a
lot to replace from last year, that's right, So note
getting to know these guys their mindsets.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
It's gonna be fun, man.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah, let's do it. We'll dive right in.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
So we've got Tyler Serney, senior infielder from Greenwood, Indiana,
and Tagger Tyson he's a junior out of Mount Pleasant,
South Carolina.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
And Tagger.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
I know you catch by trade, but you also play
some other positions, so you do just about a little
bit of everything. Very versatile out there, Yes, sir, being
at Kentucky Now the first time you walked in here,
kind of knowing the rivalries because Tyler, you came from Indiana, Tiger,
you came from Louisville. Was it weird at all stepping
on this campus or being in this locker room for

(01:12):
the first time?

Speaker 2 (01:13):
What was it like? Not for me?

Speaker 5 (01:16):
Honestly, I guess my parents both went to Purdue, so
growing up, I was actually a pretty fan, So I
really didn't have that rivalry feeling between Indiana Kentucky. You know,
obviously the basketball rivalry there is pretty apparent. So but no,
I didn't feel any any weirdness or anything like that.
I was I'm excited to be here, and it was

(01:36):
it was awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
What about you, Tagger, What was it like being in
the war last year and now being on the other
side of it.

Speaker 6 (01:42):
Yeah, it's kind of crazy. It really didn't feel weird
stepping stepping in here. Just the vibes around this place
are very different than where I've been, and it's like,
just from day one, you feel so connected to the
other guys. The returners did a great job of kind
of helping us like feel welcome them and feel like
a part of the program and the coaches like it's

(02:03):
a relationship from day one, So it really didn't feel
like anything weird, even being on the complete the other
side before, it just fell like.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Home, having played in this ballpark or at least seen it,
and before you met the coaches and got to know
people around here, having played here in man in these environments.
What was the first impression of Kentucky? Like, what did
you know about this program?

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (02:26):
So obviously I played here my freshman year in the
regional in twenty three. That was probably the most fans
I've ever played in front of at the time. The
environment was awesome, the fans were, you know, all into it.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
I really enjoyed had the dugout too.

Speaker 5 (02:43):
That I've learned now that we do here is that
you know, we love each other on the field and
we're going to play for each other.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Show a lot of energy and all that.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
So I really liked that in first impression when I
came here, and that was obviously taken into account when
you know, I was in the portal talking to schools
and that was a huge contributing factor to my decision
to come here.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
What about you, Tagger, what kind of impression was made
on you. I know, obviously these rivalries can get heated,
but from your perspective playing and seeing the ballpark here
before you met the coaches.

Speaker 6 (03:14):
So I had actually never seen the ballpark. My freshman year,
the game here got canceled because of the storm, and
then last year I had a concussion and like kind
of like reverse trying to rush back, and so I
actually didn't even make the trip here. So I had
never seen the park, never been here or anything. I
didn't even take a visit in the summer in the

(03:34):
portal because I was going up to summer ball, and
so all the only really experience I had was watching
the game my freshman year because I red shirted at
Jim Patterson, and then playing in that game last year.
And it really is, like Sara and he said, like
from an outside perspective, everything in the dugout and on
the field, all the celebrations, all this stuff, you can

(03:56):
kind of think it's like when you're on those like
oh that's so corny, that's so this, and then but
it does not feel like that at all. Like even
in these just intersquads against each other, like we're having
so much fun, We're so connected, like we have so
much fun with the celebrations, and it just doesn't feel
like that at all. It's all just natural. So it's
pretty pretty cool to be a part of that.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
But you did play against Kentucky at Patterson last year,
and just from the preparation standpoint, you don't have to
betray a king and country with how Louisville scouts, but
just getting ready for that kind of offense, what was
that like, you know, just from a catcher's perspective of
getting ready for I've got to help protect my picture
because they're running and doing all this other stuff.

Speaker 6 (04:34):
Yeah, there is a lot that goes into that, like
you have to be ready for the delay, the starts off,
the guy's falling down. Like there's a bunch of stuff
you go over in the scouting report, specifically just about
the base running aspect that puts a lot of pressure
on the pitchers mostly, and then it's kind of learning
how you know to control your pictures and get them

(04:56):
ready for that kind of run game.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, I feel like I've buried the lead a little
bit because you mentioned you played here in the Lexington
Regional in twenty twenty three. You went up against a
certain picture and you got a hit off of him.
I believe I'm gonna let you take over from here.
Go ahead, lind Squirrel finds a nut.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
We won the game. We won the game. We'll take it. Gosh,
that regional was crazy. I mean, that's the craziest environment
I ever pitched in, just because the pressure of those situations.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
You know, whether you guys have played in.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
Regionals and you know, we bring a lot of guys
back who have played in multiple regionals now speak a
little bit to that experience, you know how much it brings.
Obviously we've talked to a lot of people around the building.
Omaha is the verbiage that everyone's using. That's the goal
of this year's team is to get back. How much
does that regional experience help trying knowing that you know,

(05:53):
this midweek game, Yeah, this is a big situation, but
I've played in bigger before.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
You know, just being in that environment, you learn how
to handle yourself and you know, control your emotions in
that moment. You know, being a freshman in that situation,
it's a lot different because that's your first time being
in there. They're like, this is this is crazy, Like
all these fans are here, it's loud, everything's I can't
hear anything all that. But once you've played in it
several times, like you get used to it and it's

(06:19):
almost like you don't hear the external noise, like you're
so focused on what you're doing and how you're doing it.
Just that having that experience really helps you play the
way you know how to play.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
We spoke about it all in twenty twenty four on
the show and on the air, like they're the experience
of doing it once.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah, and then you.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Go back there and everybody's nerves are calm, cool, collected.
I would think that's a massive factor on why we
made twenty twenty four. I just want to hear about
your OL's transfer portal experience because I remember when I
was going through it. It was the craziest three weeks
of my life. Like I have you, I've said that

(07:00):
quote a lot because it was NonStop every single day.
Just take me through your guys experience a little bit
of what led you to Kentucky.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (07:08):
Yeah, I actually was in the port twice, So I
ended after my freshman year and then I entered this year,
and honestly, both experiences were terrible.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
I hated it.

Speaker 6 (07:18):
Yeah, you really find out who people are and like
who's in your corner. Sure, and so for me both times,
it was a lot of like getting my hopes up,
you know, talking to schools, and then it's just they'll
completely ghost you, like or you find out they're completely
different people than they are in the recruiting process. And
so that's what really stood out here is like how

(07:40):
awesome the coaches were and how how good it truly
felt just having conversations on the phone with them, Like
everything moved pretty quickly, just the conversations, like it it
felt like they're being genuine, felt like they were being transparent, honest,
and it really just made it feel like, dang, like
I want to be a part of this, Like I
want to be a part of what they're doing here.

(08:00):
And so it was really like, by far, my best
portal experience, and it just made me want to be
a part of.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
It so bad.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
That has to make you commit quick. Oh yeah, if
you have that feeling about.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
This spot I did.

Speaker 6 (08:11):
It was coach offered me the first day I got
up to Massachusetts, and I told him I was like,
I get too excited about things. I got to wait
till the morning. Yeah, and then I ended up calling
him back about forty five minutes later and committed.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Size, I like it. What about you, Tyler?

Speaker 5 (08:28):
Yeah, so you know, entered the portal that day when
it opens and your phone just starts buzzing. Yeah, it's crazy,
just like all the phone calls and texts that you're
getting from coaches. It's also I thought it was pretty
cool actually, you know, seeing all those schools and coaches
that you know wanted you to have you on your team.
I thought that was like cool to see that as

(08:49):
a confidence level for me, Like that was I like that?

Speaker 2 (08:52):
And then Kentucky was obviously one of the schools that
I was.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
Interested in into the portal, just with especially the hit
by pitch thing because I thought I actually have the
record at Indiana in a career there, and you know,
hit by pitches is a huge thing. We can we
don't move, Yeah, we don't move yep. So we take
that very seriously here. So that was something that I
thought I would fit well in here especially, and then
the culture here I thought was something I really wanted

(09:16):
to be a part of.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
How's that taught in?

Speaker 4 (09:18):
Because I was obviously never in a hitting meeting, Like
I couldn't swing the bat like at all.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
So how's that taught to our hitters here to not move?

Speaker 5 (09:27):
Yeah, well we because we actually practice, we train it.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (09:31):
So like, well, when we're doing R and VP with
some Sloan or whoever, we'll he'll mix in a little
softer squish your bald and throw it at you.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
And you can't move. You gotta wear it. So that
builds the habit.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
And then in scrimmages, if we move our feet, we
lose our bat and.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Our next one.

Speaker 5 (09:49):
So it's another incentive to to stay in there and
take the hit by pitch for the team. And it's
just like second nature to me. Honestly, I'm sure it
is for you just to not move. Like if I
see a ball coming towards me, I'm not going to
move my feet. I'm just gonna let it hit me. Yeah,
turn into it. Like in summer ball, I was getting
in trouble by my coach because I kept getting hit
by pitches and he was like, bro, I want you
to hit, Like come on, man, Yeah, I'm.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Like sorry, Like just how I'm wired, I simply can't
move out of the.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
Left free bases win ball games on basically they really do.
What's it like when somebody moves in one of these
inner squads, the whole team getting on.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
Oh yeah, we are like, oh you moved, like we're playing.
That's It's pretty funny.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
So I'm interested to see the competition this spring between
him and Ethan handle on who gets hit the most,
and for some reason, they love to hit Ethan last year.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yeah, all year long.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yeah. I saw he had like nineteen yeah, twenty some games.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
And that was with unfortunately missing most of the second
half of the season with an injury. He still had
like nineteen when got hurt.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
That's one lesson I had, just not in the hands
or rest anywhere with the hands and.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Rest will allow that unless you want to. That's right.
Let's want to take it for.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
The team you mentioned playing this summer. It was in
the MLB Draft League. What was that experience. It's like,
it was really fun. It was a smaller league.

Speaker 5 (11:02):
There's only six teams, so it's you played a three
game series kind of like you know, major League baseball
in minor league. Yeah, it was the competition level I
thought was pretty good.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Pitching wise.

Speaker 5 (11:14):
I saw some good arms, and you know, a lot
of great guys on my team that I enjoyed playing with,
but in coaches as well, I thought were very knowledgeable,
taught me a lot of stuff about my swing. I
kind of found my groove a little bit a couple
of weeks in just by like one hitting tweak that
my coach gave me, and I just kept going from there.
So I had a really good experience out there.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
How big are especially if you're a red shirting or
not playing much as a young player, how big are
this summer experiences just to get reps in at bats?

Speaker 6 (11:45):
Tagger, I think it's awesome. Like my after returing my
freshman year on wentch to the north Woods and just
played a lot. Like I thought, at one point, it
was like seventeen games in eighteen days.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
What's that league seventy two and seventy.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Four, It's something like that.

Speaker 6 (12:00):
It's crazy, like you only get off day if you're
waiting on a torrential downporder stop for like three hours, right,
But it was awesome, like getting those reps and playing
every day. You really just have to the biggest part
for me has been mentally, like figuring out how to
deal with struggles and success and just that because it's

(12:20):
always up and down, like you're never as good as
you think you are, you're never as bad as you
think you are. And so for me mentally both summers,
I think I've grown a lot. And that's the biggest
part of getting those reps every day and figuring out
how to deal with the ups and downs of baseball.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
I've always had such respect for catchers because they get
beat up.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
You guys are.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
Getting beat up night in and night out behind the plate,
but you're also, in addition to trying to worry about
your own job, you're also trying to help these guys,
whether it's you know, mental things or adjustments. You're trying
to tell them what you're seeing from your perspective. Kind
of take us behind the mask and what it's like
to be a catcher throughout a long baseball season.

Speaker 6 (13:02):
Man, I love it personally, like I love being a
part of every play helping out. And what's what's great too,
is it takes pressure off yourself because you could have
a terrible day at the plate, and if you catch
great and help the pitchers out, like you're doing more
for the team than you could with the bat regardless
of how well you do, and so it kind of

(13:22):
helps me. And as a catcher, I like making it
all about really like they always say, it's all about
the team, and it really is. As a catcher, like
you're leading the defense. They go when you go. So
if your juice stuff, you're trying to win regardless of
the score, regardless of what's going on in the game,
if your pitcher's throwing shrikes and dominating, or the pitchers
are struggling, like the team goes, how you go, You

(13:44):
create the energy, You create that juice, and so really
trying to get the guys ramped up, get the pitchers
pounding the shrike zone and doing the best they can.
I think it's the probably the biggest part of biggest
thing that I can ever do to help the team.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Championship defense always starts up the middle with the beast
you know this, and then up the middle with your
middle endfielders and your center fielder and tyler. I know
you've played a ton of second and short, so tell
me what the other side of that's like defensively and
being part of that middle trying to set the tone.

Speaker 5 (14:15):
Really yeah, So I played chortsop my sophomore year the
whole year, and then second base freshman in a little
bit my junior year as well. So you know, at chortstop,
you're you're the you know, the general in the infield,
like you have priority over pop flives. You have to
know you know where everything is, all the cut plays,
you need to know all the pickoff plays, all that's done.

(14:36):
You need you just need to know everything and just
kind of help guide everyone else in the direction of
where to go on those pazz. So, yeah, being in
the middle, it takes that, you know, leadership ability there.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
I know this fall you've had some work at third base.
What's that been like, taking your skills to a different
position in a different angle of what you're seeing the
ball coming at you.

Speaker 5 (14:58):
Yeah, I played third The last time I played third
base was my freshman year of high school. I worked
my way into the into that spot my freshman year there.
But yeah, that's the last time I played there. But
it's you know, I'm an athlete, so it's it's pretty
easy to adjust. It's just like the different arm angles
and stuff, and it's also you know, different cuts that

(15:21):
you have to learn, and you talk a lot more
at third base, like lining up cuts and stuff like that.
But it hasn't been that big of an adjustment for me.
I feel like I've gone through it pretty easily and
pretty well. I feel very comfortable over there, and I've
had some fun working with Hindle over there as well.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Yeah, what do you like most so far this fall?
Playing with these guys? Being around them? What do you
like most about the infield group?

Speaker 2 (15:43):
I like our work ethic.

Speaker 5 (15:44):
I think, you know, with Tyler Bell, Lawrence, you know,
Huddy Schwartz Handle and all them. Yeah, I think we
get along very well. We hold each other accountable very well.
So whenever we go out there, we're working our tails
off to get better, and I think that's a huge
separator of our or talent there.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
I'd have to ask, you know, you guys are the
new guys, right. There's also there's something that we haven't
mentioned in that as how hard being a freshman is,
you know, coming into college baseball. I remember playing I
played seven years. The hardest year was the freshman fall.
You know, for you guys, how have you all helped
someone you're catching? You know all these new pictures? How

(16:24):
is helping you know that these freshmen get through this
really really tough stretch of not only that the air
baseball careers, but their lives.

Speaker 6 (16:32):
Yeah, it's definitely an adjustment and it's one that I
really struggled with. So I feel like I'm all for
a good perspective to help those guys out. And it's
really the biggest saying for me is mentally like they're
all here for a reason. Yeah, every freshman we have
is super talented. It's just are you are you going
to play scared? Are you going to take every little mistake,
every little thing some coach or player might say to you,

(16:55):
and are you going to let that take you down
or build you up? And it's really just about out
I hate to say, not caring about little things, but
it's like doing everything you can the right way, and
baseball is a game of failure, Like if you fail
seventy percent of the time, you're one of the best
players in baseball. And so it's just about not letting

(17:16):
those little mistakes or you know, the struggles like affect
you and just moving on. Like coach Manje always says,
the best competitors are the ones who are able to
move on to the next play or the next pitch
the most often, and that it's very true. And that's
the hardest thing, in my opinion, to do is a
freshman is not let mistakes compound because obviously, like most

(17:40):
of us, I'm pretty sure all of us in high
school were with the guy like we're playing no matter what.
You're able to just play so free, there's no expectations,
like you're the dude. And then you come to college
and it's like holy colum, competing for a job, maybe
for the first time ever, and so you let those
little mistakes compound and don't play to the best of
your ability.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
And I really believe.

Speaker 6 (18:00):
After my experiences of not playing a whole lot that
you know you can only do as good as you
can do. Right if you play or not is not
in your control, So why would you worry about that?
And it's really hard to not do but doing everything
you can and then at the end of the day,
whatever happens.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Is what happens.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
Who's a freshman pitcher that's really impressed you being the
catcher back then?

Speaker 6 (18:26):
I think Will Coleman has done a really good job.
He had a rough first outing and after that he's
really locked it in. Been a good competitor and really stayed.
After his first outing, he looked like a freshman, and
since then he's looked under control, he's looked composed, he's
held his emotions in check and done a really good
job adjusting.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
How do you like coach, because the catcher is essentially
a coach on the field. How do you coach your pictures?
You know, during the game.

Speaker 6 (18:53):
The biggest part is knowing what helps people and knowing
what doesn't help people. So some guys need a little
kick in the butt, some guys need to be calmed down.
Maybe make a joke with him if you go out
on the visit, and it's just knowing what cues. Also
like having a relationship with those guys off the field.
It's like some guys like you know a cue to like, oh,
stay through me here. Some guys have a different cue

(19:15):
with their release on their curveball, and so helping remind
them also is a big thing because if they're not
doing something right and I can tell you, hey, you
need to make this adjustment, and then they can sometimes
snap that back in and they're back locked in and
they're good stuff.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
Gotta have it there.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
He's not a freshman, but one name I've heard a
lot from several of your teammates has been Irast And
I don't know if you've had a chance to catch him,
but I was just curious your perspective on what he brings,
because I've heard him brought up several times.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yeah, No, it was awesome.

Speaker 6 (19:45):
The only time I've caught him was at Prasco to
close out the comeback in Game one against West Virginia,
and I loved it. It was so fun, like we're both juiceduff.
He's coming in to close. He just has that energy
of like, you know, if you like you're not hitting this,
like I'd like to see you try. And so we're

(20:05):
you know, the whole team's fired up at that point
because we just came back and scored eight unanswered to
take the lead, and he just comes out there and
absolutely dominated, like pounded the zone, good misses, swinging missus,
we contact and you know, I was juiced ub going crazy.
He's juiced Uff going crazy.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
You have a little different personality than Knight Harris a
little bit.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, Nate.

Speaker 6 (20:26):
I live with Nate and he he gets a little
bit like that. Sometimes you really got to get it
out of him. He's way more cool and collected. Coach
Manage calls him a machine.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
He really is.

Speaker 6 (20:36):
He's just like even at the house, he's just like
it's the same guy all the time, like very calm, cool, collected.
And then Ira is obviously kind of on the other end,
he gets you know, amped up, juiced, ub kind of
a different guy on the field than he is off
the field, and I think both are great.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Yeah, Tyler, just kind of take us through. You mentioned
that come back against West Virginia down seven runs. You
come back in that first seven inning stretch and like
immediately just take the lead and win that seven inning segment.
What was the energy in the dugout and on the field, Like,
what was that like to see such a giant comeback
Even though it was an exhibition, it's still impressive.

Speaker 5 (21:12):
Yeah, you know, the energy level never changed the entire game,
Okay from my opinion. You know, we started off strong,
Like the energy level was strong at the beginning, and
it was the same level at the end even when
we were down you know, a couple runs there, and
I think that was what helped us propel us to
you know, come back and take the lead there. It
was really awesome having a dug out like that to
keep everyone in the game focused that you know we

(21:35):
are capable of coming back and you know we're good
enough to do this. And then once we came back,
the energy level was even, you know, maybe a little
higher than it was, and you know we're able to
close that one out and then run away with it
in that second game.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
I guess my last question for you guys is we
sort of wrap up this episode is going back to
the start of the conversation when Darren was mentioning how
you guys have played in regionals. Everybody that's come back
from last year was in a regional on this team.
And so when you think about the culture that the
coaches have assembled in this locker room, obviously it's family.
It's on the pillars here at the ballpark. There's the

(22:09):
player development side of it, being a good teammate, student,
person player. There's obviously a winning aspect though, and there's
a lot of confidence in this locker room, isn't there.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Hundre percent.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (22:20):
I've been a part of a team that didn't make
a regional at all, and a team we last year
went final four in Omaha, wah and we were not
supposed to, Like we're a two or three seed in
the one seats regional and we ended up being final
four in Omaha. And the way that this locker room
in this dugout is is even closer and even more
tight en it and like that West Virginia game to

(22:41):
me shows it. You know, it's a fall scrimmage, like
a lot of teams are just oh, we're down eight
one with two innings left, like you know, we're not
going to come back. And that's kind of how my
freshman year was. When we were down, it was over,
you could tell. And then you know those winning teams
never give up, no matter what you can. I mean,
we came back eight to one with two winnings left

(23:03):
and won that game against a team that went to
a Super last year. So I think the culture and
how bad we want to win and how much we
love each other and how close we are is what's
going to really take us far.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Stuff.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
It's vital, man like, even less talking about a singular game,
but more the whole season, like we all go through it.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
Especially playing in the SEC.

Speaker 4 (23:23):
It ain't gonna be all sunshine and rainbows, like the
odds of you winning ten series in a row, and
the SEC are very slim to none, you know, so
every team goes through that low and it makes me
real positive on the Cats because we've been there before.
We brought in dudes like these guys who have been
through the lows and gotten out of it, you know,

(23:43):
and we'll go through a low next year at some point.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
It's going to happen. That's how you bounce back from it.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Man, that that speaks volumes and gets us in the
right direction and gets us towards Omaha.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Man competing in the Big ten and the ACC.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Are you guys excited to jump into the SEC this
year and see what it's like.

Speaker 5 (23:59):
Yeah, I'm very excited to play in the league. You know,
I've played a few teams obviously in this right, but
it's going to be really fun to you know, play
these all these at these different places like l SU
and that that's really exciting.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
So looking forward to it.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
Yeah, I'm super excited.

Speaker 6 (24:13):
It's kind of the same thing like reading the SEC schedule. Guy,
I'm like, I'm ready to stuff. Get to go to
my home home state South Carolina, like LSU armor Florida.
I'm just ready to compete.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
Let's be aware of for you. Let's have a good
practice today.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
There, I'm fired and ready.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
I'm ready to go. I'm telling you, come on, bringing on, boys.
