In hour three of OTB the room debates the image LSU currently carries in college football and whether the program should lean into the heel turn it feels like it’s taking. Matt steps up to eulogize the NFL coaches shown the door on Black Monday, with the crew weighing in on what those moves mean for the league. We lighten things up by playing matchmaker with life beyond the field — picking out baby name ideas for Taylor’s growing family — and we wrap up the show, as always, with Ask the Bench.

In hour two we visit with Dr. Stephen Etheredge and get the team doctor’s point of view on what portal season is like from inside the building. The crew has some fun with football trivia, debates the rarity of the one-point safety. We also give an update on who LSU has added through the portal so far before Coach Kim Mulkey joins us to talk about the constantly changing world of NIL and college athletics.

In hour one of OTB we talk about the quarterback situation at LSU and debate whether Sam Leavitt or Demond Williams is the better fit for the Tigers. Matt goes on a classic rant about how college football feels like it has no real rules and how the NCAA has lost most of its power. We wrap up the hour discussing portal season and what LSU should focus on next.

In hour three we settle in with Nick Underhill for a real conversation about putting the Saints season to rest — what failed, what can be salvaged, and where the organization goes from here. Along the way Matt admits he has no clue who Chris Isaak is, which derails us briefly into an impromptu music-education segment. We get back on track talking Carius Curne transferring to Ole Miss and how the move adds another layer to LSU’s already shaky offensive-line picture. We close out with Ask the Bench.

In hour two we keep the focus on the transfer portal and what this stretch of the calendar really means for LSU — patience, evaluation, and smart shopping instead of headline chasing. From there we lighten it up and reminisce on the coldest Starter jackets of the 90s, the satin shine, the oversized logos, and which teams absolutely owned the look. We also do otb mailbag

In hour one of OTB, we update you on the transfer portal ledger — who LSU has lost, who they’ve gained, and who is still circling the radar. The conversation centers on the quarterback position: the Tigers are recruiting hard for Sam Leavitt, and we discuss why this staff has to be pulling out all the stops to land him — and if it’s not Leavitt, then who’s the next best swing? We also explain why panic around Lane Kiffin’s early portal results is misplaced, highlighting how roster building in the NIL age is a marathon, not a sprint. We close with a look at the names LSU should still be targeting and why fit, relationships, and opportunity matter more than the December message-board noise.

In hour two of OTB, we somehow end up talking about pizza orders spiking at the Pentagon before major late-night operations or big events. From there, it’s back to transfer portal season, as Trinidad Chambliss announces he’ll return to Ole Miss if granted another year of eligibility. We also discuss the growing importance of LSU finding the right quarterback in the portal and what that search needs to look like.

In hour one of OTB, we address Matt’s mustache before shifting to the NFL and breaking down the Saints dropping their final game to the Falcons. With it officially being transfer portal season, we dive into who LSU is losing, who they’ve already added, who’s set to visit, and which positions LSU should be targeting next in the portal.

In hour three of OTB, we take a look at the NFL playoff picture and where things stand heading into the postseason. We talk about the Chargers trying to claim Drew Brees and branch into a discussion about other athletes who are remembered most for teams that didn’t draft them. We close out the show by talking about what we did for New Year’s and sharing our resolutions for the year ahead.
