While the outlook from media pundits on the upcoming season for the New Orleans Saints is a bit bleak, the fans seem to be relishing in the fact that at least it’s different. And with a new regime under Coach Kellen Moore and a new quarterback – either Tyler Shough or Spencer Rattler – there is plenty to be positive about.

Host Jim Derry brings in FOX-8’s Garland Gillen for his take on both the Saints and LSU, which enters their quest for College World Series Title No. 8, on Friday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 385) presented by Evangeline Securities.

We know Tigers fans will secure another Jello Shot Challenge at Rocco’s in Omaha, but will the pitching be the key for Coach Jay Johnson? Can the hitting follow up with a similar performance as they did in the Super Regionals last weekend? Lastly, Gabe Henderson has some thoughts on the incredible Stanley Cup Finals and the College World Series.
