1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:05,040

Yeah.
We back it is the height

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:14,760
differential and guess what, it
is March, officially March,

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:16,600
which means March Madness is
here.

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,480
That's the 66, Neil.

12
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,440
You can play that.
They had it like it's an hour

13
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:50,840
loop.
You can just play it for an hour

14
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,120
and I'm telling you.
That's your ringtone Once.

15
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,480
Once it's March.
And if I call you, is that going

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:56,480
to, is that song I'm going to
play?

17
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,800
It's not because I haven't had a
ringtone in, I would say 10 to

18
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,959
15 years.
I'm a I'm a silent vibrate all

19
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,080
the time.
But is are you updating your

20
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,880
ringtone?
No, I'm a silent, no vibrate.

21
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,640
I'm just on straight silent.
It's no not even vibrate.

22
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,440
Not even vibrate?
Nope.

23
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:21,000
Usually I have an Apple Watch on
so if somebody texts me or calls

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,160
me it, it vibrates my watch.
That's how I know.

25
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,680
You know what I miss about March
Madness?

26
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,360
What do you miss?
Gus Johnson.

27
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,240
Yeah.
He was from March Madness.

28
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,240
I love Gus Johnson and we bring,
by the way, we got to find a way

29
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,360
to get Gus back in in the game.
I.

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,240
Know, but he he deserves to be a
part of that on March Madness

31
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,200
atmosphere.
But it's Is it the greatest

32
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,720
sports theme song?
See the NBA on NBC rival it.

33
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,440
Those are the top 2.
I mean those have to be the top

34
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,280
2 in my opinion.
They they are the top 2.

35
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,080
This one has it.
This one just symbolizes that

36
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,840
it's March.
You get the cold show that noon.

37
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,920
It's noon on a Thursday, it's
noon on a Thursday.

38
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,080
All productivity.
It works out the window.

39
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,360
You're just ready to tune into
the games.

40
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,160
And when that song hits, you
know, it's, it's it's go time.

41
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,160
Well, and really, this selection
show is when it hits.

42
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,360
Yeah, because they make it an
hour and a half for no reason.

43
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:26,760
March is here, hoops is firing
up and for the first time we

44
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,320
don't have a lot of football to
talk about, We don't have

45
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,680
Olympics to talk about.
This is just it's pretty much

46
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,760
going to be all hoops the whole
way through.

47
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,160
College basketball.
And we talked about last week

48
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:47,720
how Michigan, Arizona, Duke have
probably separated themselves

49
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,400
from the rest of the pack.
We talked about who are fourth

50
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,960
number one would be and you said
Yukon, I said Florida.

51
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,720
Both of them.
I think they are still the two

52
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,760
that are battling it out.
Florida obviously impressed with

53
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,920
what they did against Arkansas
and we'll get into that.

54
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,320
But I I guess we'll just kind of
go in the order of the games

55
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,160
last weekend and Friday night.
Those Friday night Big 10 games

56
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,600
on Fox.
You're talking about Gus

57
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:18,280
Johnson.
They get Illinois and Morez

58
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,880
Johnson, who played at Illinois
last year, puts up 19 against

59
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:28,760
his former team and it's Maura
had 19 and Yaxel put up 16 and

60
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,240
7.
Michigan used like a 10 O

61
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,960
Michigan's now 10 and O on the
road after getting that the

62
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,040
victory and they've won 23 games
by 10 points or more.

63
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,920
They got their first outright
title since 2014.

64
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,160
Michigan just kind of doing what
they've done all year, putting

65
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,480
putting Illinois to bed really
wasn't that close.

66
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,320
No, it wasn't that close at all.
I mean, it's Michigan's

67
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,640
continues to roll.
You know, we we've talked about

68
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,600
how what they've done early in
the season with all those 40

69
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,840
point wins over good teams like
Gonzaga and what they did out in

70
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,960
that players tournament.
But even in conference play,

71
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,320
man, you know, you get a road
win against a really good

72
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,520
Illinois team.
They've won on the road already

73
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,720
at Michigan State.
They've won on the road at

74
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,480
Purdue.
You know, they are beating the

75
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,000
big boys on the road in their
own places.

76
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,680
They're they're getting it done.
They claim like, so they claim

77
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,680
the the outright Big 10 title.
Yeah.

78
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,520
I mean, they're they're going to
be there.

79
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:23,840
They're one of the top teams for
sure.

80
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,680
There's no doubt.
There's no doubt and.

81
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,200
What else you can say about it?
I mean, they, they took that

82
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,480
loss to Duke and we looked at
that box score and Elliot could

83
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:32,640
oh really didn't have a great
game.

84
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,000
But here's the thing.
He didn't have a great game on

85
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,480
Friday either.
And it really didn't matter.

86
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,480
Keaton Waggler continues to do
what he's done all year.

87
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,760
He had he had 23 points.
But but, but now Illinois all of

88
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,040
a sudden has has lost four of
their last six, including three

89
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,800
in overtime.
And they still got one of the

90
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,000
best offenses in the country.
But defensively, they're

91
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,080
struggling a little bit.
But the story of this game is

92
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,360
just, I know Michigan, we just
talked about it.

93
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,320
Michigan had that set back again
against against Duke.

94
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:08,680
But that's because what they
already beat NC State by 30

95
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,960
tonight.
And it's just two of the best

96
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,560
teams going at it on the neutral
court.

97
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,840
One team won by 5.
Pretty much pretty much all you

98
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:21,560
can say.
Yeah, maybe we hopefully we get

99
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,360
a little bit of a rematch with
those two teams, you know, down

100
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,400
the road.
I mean, it's very likely a Final

101
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,640
Four slash national title match
up.

102
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,000
So so Duke what last week beat
Noter or beat Notre Dame by 40?

103
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,240
Yep.
And then tonight they they beat

104
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,640
NC State by 30 and in.
Between there they just smashed

105
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,120
a good Virginia team who was
rolling by 26 so.

106
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,200
And I don't even know if it was
that close like.

107
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,080
No, I mean, Duke's defense has
just been out absolutely

108
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,360
outstanding.
I mean, like, they're probably

109
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,560
the best in the country.
Held Virginia to just 51 points

110
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,040
on Saturday in that 26 point
win.

111
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,920
And then on the road tonight
against an NC State team who

112
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,080
shoots the best 3 ball in the
conference.

113
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,800
Like the NC State can put up
some points.

114
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,040
They held them to 64.
I mean, it's hard to score on

115
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,080
them.
And then the offensive firepower

116
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,000
that they have with Boozer and,
and the rest of them.

117
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,440
So it's I, I don't know who's
stopping Duke.

118
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,400
Well, Isaiah Evans had 19 points
in that game on Saturday.

119
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,320
He was 5 and 9 from DP, had
three early that really just

120
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,080
built separation.
They were 8 from 13 from three

121
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,520
in the first half.
Like, what are you going to do

122
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,040
when when they're going to guard
you the way that they're

123
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,640
guarding Boozer now?
We talked about the stat where

124
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,520
he's at 14-5 and two in every
game.

125
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,560
That is now extended to to 30
games.

126
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,480
He's done that every game this
year, really.

127
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,440
They like like Michigan and
Arizona and Duke are just kind

128
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,720
of, and I like Florida may be
creeping up there a little bit,

129
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,400
I think, but they're really kind
of separating themselves from

130
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,960
the pack and just to to another
stat that kind of tells you

131
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,680
about their defense.
I mean, this isn't Tony

132
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,560
Bennett's Virginia.
Like, this is a Virginia team

133
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,520
that's averaging 80 points a
game.

134
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,160
Yeah, they scored some points.
To hell on to 51 here.

135
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,640
Virginia is now 1 and 32 against
number one teams O and 17

136
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,960
against Duke when they're just
to Arizona, who's also playing

137
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,840
tonight.
These big Monday games with the

138
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,600
Big 12 this year have just been
incredible.

139
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:28,040
But but on Saturday they they
put it on Kansas win by 2384 to

140
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,360
61.
Bradenbury's, one of these other

141
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,440
just incredible freshmen has 20
and 12.

142
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,280
They used A19-O run to build a
18 point lead.

143
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,800
Kansas did fight back and got
back within two and then

144
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,160
immediately like Arizona's just
like Nah and they go on another

145
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:48,360
16 O run get up 6547 coal Pete
did return for them after

146
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,040
missing three games had 12
points.

147
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,000
Damn.
The story for Kansas is Darren

148
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,280
Peterson continues to play 30
plus minutes. 30 minutes, put up

149
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,400
24 points.
Yeah, he played a good game.

150
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,320
So just really those three
teams, man, they're they're just

151
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,040
playing great basketball.
I guess kind of to lean into it

152
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,160
just because Florida, what they
did against against Arkansas on

153
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:18,160
Saturday, 111 to 7070.
Seven, I mean putting up 53 and

154
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,120
58 points respectively in the
1st and 2nd halves, like that's

155
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,000
just getting it done.
Hawk had 22.

156
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Chinlu had his 17th double
double.

157
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,120
Here's a Here's you.
Here's the stat for you.

158
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,039
Kyle's career time for his worst
loss.

159
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,280
In his believe it's 34 points
that's that's a lot of points.

160
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,520
Do you not only used to that?
So his other loss was that while

161
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,840
he was at Kentucky.
Do you remember or have any clue

162
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:55,680
what it might have been?
34 point loss cow at Kentucky on

163
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:59,320
the road at Alabama, Was that
Alabama?

164
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,240
It was against Duke in 2018.
I think it was the little the

165
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,040
the season kickoff.
Champions class that was with

166
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,040
the the Zion team.
I think one.

167
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,920
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, that's right.

168
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,600
That's right, not right.
So yeah, worst loss, Todd, worst

169
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,600
loss in in Cal's career.
Florida's unbeaten in February.

170
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,480
They've won nine straight.
They locked up their first SEC

171
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,720
title since 2014.
Boogie Flan, who obviously

172
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,960
transferred from Arkansas, was
one of seven Gators in double

173
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,200
figures.
Other than the 34 point win.

174
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,480
The story of this game to me was
the double technical.

175
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,920
Oh, you haven't seen that.
What was the double technical?

176
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:51,240
So I think what happened is Chin
like Gaylu hit somebody and they

177
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,960
this is when Arkansas was going
on a run and Kyle asked him to

178
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,520
take a look at it.
Yeah.

179
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,640
And you know how that goes.
It takes some time.

180
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,040
They they ended up upgrading it
to a flagrant 1.

181
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,640
And I can't remember who made
who shot the free throws, but

182
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,920
they missed both of them.
And I think at that point, Todd

183
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,400
Golden was like, you got to be,
we're doing all this and your

184
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,080
guy can't even make the free
throw like this is, and they

185
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,240
start chirping back.
Oh, no, I did see it.

186
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,280
Yeah.
The coaches.

187
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,440
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, they start chirping back

188
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,600
and forth.
Todd Golden's coming off a

189
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,320
championship.
He's the new young coach.

190
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,440
That's hot cows.
Cal's still got his ego.

191
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,160
I mean, he's been doing it for a
long time.

192
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,280
Yeah.
Neither one of them get a back

193
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,720
down.
They're going at each other.

194
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,080
They both get popped.
And it was, it was good theater.

195
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,280
It was good theater, especially
in a game.

196
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,120
That, I mean, when the game's a
34 point game, third, you know,

197
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,680
let's get to have some theater.
If if you're Cal, if you're Todd

198
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:51,720
Golden, you both got the right
to to get after the other coach

199
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:52,440
of.
Course.

200
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,280
And like, I get the frustration
you're using that going to the

201
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:58,880
monitor to try to kill their
momentum.

202
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,400
And then I think he kind of
lasts a little bit when he

203
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,760
missed both free throws.
And that didn't not bode well

204
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,080
with with Kyle over there.
And they just start chirping a

205
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,040
little bit.
It's always good when you get

206
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,720
the two coaches kind of getting
after each other.

207
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,240
Yeah, I enjoy it.
Do you remember back in the day

208
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,800
when Cal was at UMass and him
and John Cheney got into?

209
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,280
It he threatened to kill John
Cheney or no, John Cheney

210
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,640
threatened to kill Cal.
Sorry, John Cheney busted into

211
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:24,760
the press conference.
Yes.

212
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,240
Threatened to kick his kick his
ass as he would say yeah.

213
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:31,360
He he just, and he kept moving
closer and closer to the podium.

214
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,720
Yeah, I will kill you.
I mean, the reporters.

215
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,000
The reporters had to get
involved because the dudes that

216
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,600
were writing for the newspapers
back then had to get out of

217
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,680
their chairs and get in between
them.

218
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,040
I mean, Cal wasn't moving.
Cal was just standing there,

219
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,640
like in disbelief that John
Cheney is threatening to kick

220
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:50,880
his ass.
But well.

221
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,840
It's kind of unbelievable.
Yeah, it's that guy.

222
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,120
John Cheney at that time was
still old.

223
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,320
I think he was born old.
Yeah, he does the I think you're

224
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,960
right, but I remember.
Like he came to one of our

225
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,520
practices when I was at PRP, the
scout and one of our guys and

226
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,680
it, I mean, that's cool, yeah.
He's a legend.

227
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,360
He was, it was, it was pretty
cool.

228
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,960
But yeah, I think he, I think he
was born old.

229
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,720
But they they know neither
Golden nor Cal threatened to

230
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,600
kill the other guy.
Yeah, that's good.

231
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,840
But jeez, like I thought it was
going to be a fun game to watch.

232
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,480
And Florida Man, they're just,
we've said it all year, they've

233
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:32,880
got the best front court in the
country.

234
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,480
And we knew that, Yeah.
And would these two guards that

235
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,920
transferred in from Arkansas and
and Princeton, would they kind

236
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,280
of figure it out?
And they're, they're getting

237
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,720
more production from their
bench, too.

238
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,680
And they're for a team that
started what, 5 and 4?

239
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,600
Yeah, yeah.
Look, look at they're, they are

240
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,760
clicking at the right time.
They they've won six in a row

241
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,160
against ranked teams and have
scored at least 90 points in all

242
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,160
three in all six of those games.
It's the second longest streak

243
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,840
in in college basketball
history.

244
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:11,520
The longest mark shared by it's
I think it's the longest mark is

245
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,520
shared by UNLV and Loyola
Marymount.

246
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:18,280
Both of those were 88 and 90.
So Florida's doing some special

247
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:25,480
things.
Texas Tech loses JC Topping and

248
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:30,280
everybody's kind of just puts
them to bed and since they've

249
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,920
done that, they're three and O
and they get a win over Iowa

250
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,160
State on on on the.
Road on the road too.

251
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,000
Donovan Atwell was 6 to 10 from
three had 18 points.

252
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,800
He ranks second in the country
with 3.8 threes and 3rd with 110

253
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:51,640
threes made on the seasons.
Really a a huge 3 point threat

254
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,400
the the Red Raiders had 6IN
double figures.

255
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,960
But Grant McCaskill indeed, just
to I think he's kind of proven

256
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,160
himself that he's one of the
better coach in the country and

257
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,040
that I, I, I think a lot of
teams thought without topping

258
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:06,640
this team really didn't have a
chance.

259
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,440
And they're kind of proven that
otherwise.

260
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:11,880
Yeah, I mean, since he's gone
out and they they had that bad

261
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,360
loss against Arizona State.
But that was the game where

262
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,520
Topping got hurt.
Yeah, but then, you know, after

263
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,800
that, even without him, I mean,
they've they've rolled AA30

264
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,280
point win over Kansas State to
be a Cincinnati team that's been

265
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,560
playing better as of late by 12
and then that big win at Iowa

266
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,320
State on Saturday.
So Nope, they're still playing

267
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,600
good basketball.
You know, coming down to the end

268
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,320
here with with conference play
and with March, March Madness

269
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,640
right around the corner, they're
still still a factor.

270
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,560
Christian Anderson's been one of
my favorite guards all season,

271
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:49,320
but it's a cyclone's first loss
at Hilton all year.

272
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,920
And like, look, dude, like we
talked about Wisconsin, how good

273
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:57,720
of wins that they had, but look
at these wins by Texas Tech at

274
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,520
they won, they beat Duke at at
Madison Square Garden, they beat

275
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,000
Houston, they won at Arizona and
they won at Iowa State.

276
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,480
That that ranks also ranks up
with anybody in the country.

277
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,200
So I think they're probably
going to be a three or four seed

278
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,760
and just it still kind of makes
you sad that they're not going

279
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,080
to be able to make a run with JT
topping because obviously you're

280
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,680
you're losing the the Big 12
player of the year from a year

281
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,560
ago and there's no way you can
be better without him.

282
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:30,120
No, no St.
John's after losing by 32

283
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,640
against Connecticut.
They they get their white game.

284
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,280
Rick comes out in his in his
white suit and you know, you

285
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,920
know, it's it's it's problems
when when Rick's got on the

286
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,400
white suit and.
He he took it to his boy Kevin

287
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,680
Willard, former former assistant
coach, beat him by 32.

288
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,880
And Willard, after the press
conference, they asked kind of

289
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,760
like, you know, what it was like
working for Rick Pitino back in

290
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,000
the day.
He said, he said, what do you

291
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,360
say?
Like you fear for your life?

292
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,360
Well, you basically you, you
were on edge, feeling like

293
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,040
you're going to get fired almost
at any moment.

294
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,680
So now they're they're boys, a
bunch of respect between those

295
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,120
two and Rick really took it to
him on Saturday.

296
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,480
Yeah, Villanova set a season low
for points, and it's our most

297
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:22,680
lopsided defeat since 1997, when
they got beat 93 to 56 at #3

298
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:28,000
Kentucky.
So that would have also been

299
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:35,320
Rick Pitino as the head coach.
What else we got here?

300
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,000
Houston finally got right after
losing 3 in a row.

301
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,040
They Colorado really had no
chance and was just kind of in

302
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,840
the wrong place at the wrong
time as Houston was bounded to

303
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,920
get off their snide.
Kentucky just actually decides

304
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,400
that they don't want to get down
by 15 points and revenge is the

305
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,840
loss that they took to The
Commodores earlier in the year.

306
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:09,800
And Louisville loses at Clemson.
What else we got?

307
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,560
BYU struggles at West Virginia.
They lose by they lose by 8 on

308
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,800
the road and Gonzaga loses to an
unranked St.

309
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,319
Mary, although Saint Mary's is
always pretty good and they give

310
00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:24,359
Gonzaga fits almost every year
and Gonzaga goes on the road and

311
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,160
loses that 1 by 11.
But also this this game holds a

312
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:33,080
little more weight because it is
the last regular season game

313
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,160
that Gonzaga will ever play in
the West Coast Conference.

314
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,800
That is true.
The Jordan what that new form,

315
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,120
PAC 12.
They are moving on to the PAC

316
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:47,720
12.
On Friday night, we saw Miami,

317
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,360
OH.
Yes, we did.

318
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,760
Look like their undefeated
season was in a lot of danger.

319
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,680
They were about two of their
guys in the backcourt.

320
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:05,840
They were held at 26 points in
the first half and Travis Steele

321
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,600
was not very happy with the
officiating.

322
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,840
No, no.
Going into halftime.

323
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:14,520
No, he took it out on some poor
unfortunate D JS equipment.

324
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,080
Well, he got popped First off
and he didn't really know what

325
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,520
he got popped for, even though
it's probably pretty obvious

326
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,520
what he got popped for.
And then walking off the court.

327
00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:26,160
Not his court, not his own
court.

328
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,640
He's on the road and just
decides to take out the DJ's

329
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,160
speaker on his way out.
Listen, that's just being an

330
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,080
asshole, man.
Can't be doing that.

331
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,560
Not a good look.
No.

332
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:44,760
Not a good look.
He did show some sincerity

333
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,680
afterwards, talking about how he
was wrong with a lot of stuff

334
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,920
that he did.
Yeah, it's a lot, a lot easier

335
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,640
to show sincerity when you win
by two.

336
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,840
You're on the winning end of
things instead of losing

337
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,040
anything but.
If you break the speaker, you're

338
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,640
picking up the cost, I would
hope.

339
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:04,200
Oh yes, you got 100%.
Like you 100% got to pick that

340
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,200
up.
Was he fined?

341
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,440
I didn't see if he was fined but
honestly just kind of a Jackass

342
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,000
move.
Completely.

343
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,200
Completely.
And I get it.

344
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,600
You, you lose your cool.
You, you don't really know where

345
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,320
you are.
I I get it, but you got to keep

346
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,680
your composure and be a little
more emotionally intelligent to

347
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,400
that and just a a bad look.
I mean, we all want to root for

348
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,680
this Miami, Ohio team to make
the tournament.

349
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,960
Do we?
Do we not?

350
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,360
Do we?
They figure out a way to win.

351
00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:40,720
They they win at the buzzer and.
Multiple times this year that

352
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,400
they've done that.
It was Trey Perry, a backup

353
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,360
guard who who scored with .4
seconds that propelled them to

354
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:48,920
victory.
It's Miami.

355
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,640
OH, 7th win by 6 points or fewer
this season.

356
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,400
Still calls his team
unflappable.

357
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,000
Said they have an unflappable
mentality.

358
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,720
They remain the only undefeated
team in D1 basketball.

359
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:08,600
But Bruce Pearl on, I don't know
if it was TNC or CBS.

360
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:09,800
He's on both.
Yeah.

361
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,480
Not really not really a fan of
saying that Miami Ohio deserves

362
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,160
to get an at large if they don't
figure out a way to win the

363
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,040
tournament, he says.
Are we going to select the 68

364
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:25,320
most deserving teams or are we
going to select the 68 best

365
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,800
teams?
If we're selecting the 68 best

366
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,840
teams, Miami Ohio is going to
have to win their conference

367
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,200
tournament to qualify as a
champion as an at large.

368
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,160
They are not one of the best
teams in the country.

369
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,600
Your thoughts?
He's not wrong.

370
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,840
I mean, I understand his
motivation behind saying it

371
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,400
because he wants Auburn and his
son Steven Pearl to get in.

372
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,200
And right now I think Leonardi
has them as an 11 seed and one

373
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,640
of the last couple teams in the
tournament.

374
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,160
So of course he's going to say
that because he, you know, if

375
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,040
Miami gets in, that takes away a
bubble spot.

376
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,240
So I understand his motivation
behind it.

377
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,160
But his words, what he's saying
is not wrong.

378
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,720
They have not played anybody.
The teams you said they just won

379
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,760
several games by 6 points or
fewer and it's all against, I

380
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,240
mean, they just this Western
Michigan team has ten wins on

381
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,680
the season.
Like they're not good and

382
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,760
they're struggling against teams
that aren't good.

383
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,280
Are they winning?
Sure, they're winning.

384
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:24,360
But yeah, if you put that Miami
team against some of these teams

385
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:26,640
that that are on the bubble in
the last four, like an Auburn

386
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,840
or, you know, like it, maybe I
don't like SMU or or whoever's,

387
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:35,080
you know, around that cut line,
Miami loses by double digits.

388
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,600
They lose by double digits.
They they are also the only

389
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:45,440
undefeated team I Auburn do you
think part First off, do you

390
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,720
think Pearl's comments are
strictly because of Auburn?

391
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:55,040
Yes, Auburn's 15 and 14 like get
like this is what we don't need

392
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,600
in the.
Time, you know, he's he's trying

393
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,360
to get his kid in like first, he
like he doesn't want to look

394
00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:04,880
like him positioning his son to
be the head coach is, is going

395
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,200
to be a failure.
Like he, we all know what he

396
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,840
did.
He he left at the time that he

397
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,880
did because his son was going to
get that job.

398
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,800
So he wants his son to succeed
and be successful and and not

399
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,040
suck and by getting to the
tournament, that takes a little

400
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,200
bit of heat off of him.
So yes, I think there's a that's

401
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,200
the main motivation behind what
Pearl said.

402
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,880
I agree with him.
There's a lot of people that

403
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,000
don't, such as yourself, that
don't agree with him, but I

404
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,000
think his main motivation was
because of Oliver.

405
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:35,400
Well, Auburn is is 2 and seven
in quad one it, which obviously

406
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,680
is it's a lot better than.
A lot better than Miami.

407
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,360
They've at least played nine
more Quad 1.

408
00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:43,280
Games than Miami have the SEC so
you're automatically going to

409
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,920
play some quad one games.
I I have no want to see a six

410
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,760
and 10 Auburn team.
They are 6 and 10.

411
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,600
But you want see Miami of Ohio,
you want to see the team that

412
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,960
has a buzzer beater against the
10 win Western Michigan team in

413
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,800
the tournament.
Let's give them, give them a

414
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:00,760
chance.
Like Auburn?

415
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,440
Times, he thinks they're one of
the best 64 teams.

416
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,200
One of the real.
Let's be real.

417
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,000
No.
Do I think they deserved?

418
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,440
I don't even want them to date.
I think they they're in the turn

419
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,200
like put them in the tournament.
Put them.

420
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,320
In the conference tournament,
then you're then, then we got no

421
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,040
problems.
Win your conference tournament

422
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,000
then you should not they they
don't deserve to be in.

423
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:24,560
You're really telling me?
Frauds.

424
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,280
Frauds.
Like 6 and 10 in league play you

425
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:29,760
shouldn't be able to get in the
tournament.

426
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,120
What do you think?
Miami of Ohio would be in SEC

427
00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:34,240
League play.
Nick, you.

428
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,040
Think you're going?
To be 6 and 10.

429
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,120
That's not what this is.
This is what this is.

430
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,800
No, it's not.
It is.

431
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:44,720
Why do you?
Want to see a team that is like

432
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,680
not just under 504 games, under
500 when you're.

433
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,280
Trying when you're talking about
at large teams in the committee,

434
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,320
selecting an at large team,
you're selecting the best of the

435
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,000
non conference winners.
So it's all based on judgement

436
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,280
of who you think the best teams
are that did not win their

437
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,040
conference tournaments.
And there's no way that you're

438
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,120
going to put Miami of Ohio in
that conversation.

439
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,360
There's no way, no chance.
How many teams are on the field?

440
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,080
You how many?
It seems to be undefeated.

441
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:18,760
If they played Miami schedule
5050, I'd say 50 but.

442
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,680
They're not, but they're not
like.

443
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,440
Because they have.
They've actually played people,

444
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,720
they actually played good teams,
they played competition.

445
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,520
We just talked about it last
week, how rare it is for anybody

446
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,160
to 28.
No, you were.

447
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,240
You're going 7 teams since 1985.
Dude, you're.

448
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,520
Going since 1985.
You're going against the same

449
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,560
logic of when we talked about
this for the College Football

450
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,120
Playoff of them.
You didn't want to see the two

451
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:46,720
lanes and James Madison's in and
now you're the same argument.

452
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,480
You're going completely against
that and saying put Miami in as

453
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,360
an at large team.
I think it's a good, I think

454
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:53,680
it's a good point by you and I'm
proud that you actually have a

455
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,480
good point.
That's 12 teams.

456
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,640
This is 68.
They're not one of the best 68.

457
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,440
And also, neither one of those
teams, neither one of those

458
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:06,400
teams were undefeated.
They both had terrible losses.

459
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,520
Miami, I know they don't have
any great wins, but they don't

460
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,280
have any.
Terrible losses.

461
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,400
James Madison had one loss and
it was to an 8 and it was to a

462
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,960
nine win Louisville team.
Remember Tulane's losses?

463
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,280
No, don't.
Care, they were terrible.

464
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,120
They also won their conference.
They also both won their

465
00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:25,320
conferences, and if Miami
doesn't win their conference,

466
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,440
they don't get in.
They have to win, they have to

467
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,120
finish the regular season
undefeated and if they win their

468
00:25:32,120 --> 00:25:34,400
first round game in the Mac they
they should get in.

469
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,880
And you're putting them straight
in as an at large team straight.

470
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,720
That's ridiculous.
That's ridiculous.

471
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:44,440
I don't want to see these 6 and
10, seven and nine Power Four

472
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,040
teams.
They've they've had so many

473
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,880
opportunities to beat good teams
and they've proved with losing

474
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,160
10 times that they can't do it.
Give these guys a chance.

475
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:54,400
They're undefeated.
It's.

476
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,680
They have a chance.
Win your conference tournament,

477
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,200
That's your chance.
That's your chance.

478
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,080
Teams play bad schedules every
year.

479
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,840
We did.
We don't always see undefeated.

480
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,400
Teams, they don't play this bad
a schedule.

481
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,600
I mean, there's a lot of Mac
teams that will go and play ACC

482
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,640
opponents, SEC opponents, Big 10
opponents.

483
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,000
Miami had a chance to do that
when they started scheduling

484
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,040
these teams and they did it.
They scheduled a quad 4, non

485
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,800
conference, quad four games, non
conference quad three games, not

486
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,640
even quad schedule a quad 2,
schedule a quad one, play a

487
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,560
middle of the road SEC team like
an Auburn and see how you do in

488
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,480
the non conference.
That's how you earn your way in.

489
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,400
And they didn't do it.
They loaded up on cupcakes.

490
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,480
They have a fraudulent
undefeated record.

491
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,720
Get them out.
What their their best one is

492
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,520
Akron, who's right around when
they are in the rankings.

493
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:44,160
Their schedule, like you said,
is 316 out of 365 and I'm

494
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,720
arguing I know I'm arguing
against myself.

495
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:54,600
I just think like what being
undefeated is hard and it

496
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,440
deserves being rewarded.
I, I hope that they remain

497
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,720
undefeated and they go into the
dance undefeated, but I think

498
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,640
it'll be a great story.
I think if they get to where

499
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,840
they're in the semis and if they
do get tripped up, I'd like to

500
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:08,920
still see them in the
tournament.

501
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,080
Yeah, I'd like to see them in
the tournament.

502
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,120
It's called the NIT.
And guess what?

503
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,920
They're they can play Oliver in
the NIT and.

504
00:27:18,120 --> 00:27:21,480
They're guaranteed to get in the
NIT because they're going to win

505
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,440
their regular season
championship.

506
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:29,520
That's true.
I mean their their schedule is

507
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,200
it's, it's pretty bad.
It's historically bad.

508
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,320
Reward them.
They're undefeated.

509
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,080
Like rewarding you for not you
just for not challenging

510
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,600
yourself.
You'll get rewarded for not

511
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,240
being challenged.
Get out of here.

512
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:50,280
So like I'm looking at at quad
one wins right now and and

513
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,160
Michigan is 6 and 1, Duke 7 and
2, Arizona 6:00 and 2:00.

514
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,160
Last week you said you would
take Connecticut.

515
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,200
They're five and two.
And the fact that Florida's only

516
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:06,000
three and three, that could be a
reason why you would be right

517
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,560
that maybe Connecticut will get
selected over top of Florida

518
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,400
because they just Florida
struggled early and lost some

519
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,280
opportunities.
Some some of these records that

520
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,080
Arkansas is 1 and seven and quad
one wins, which really kind of

521
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,280
surprises me.
Felt like it it might be a

522
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,320
little better than that.
Vanderbilt's only two and four

523
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,720
in Quad 1.
Vandy's only two and two and

524
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,840
four.
Two and four in Quad 1.

525
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,200
With six quad ones for Vandy
total.

526
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,760
One quad 1A they're 7:00 and
6:00, but quad 1 they're they're

527
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,480
two and four.
Quad 1A and quad 1 isn't ontago

528
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:46,680
isn't just quad 1.
Quad 1A is is even higher tier.

529
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:49,240
What?
What qualifies?

530
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,360
I don't know what the break off
is there like.

531
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,520
Like if you go to the official
NET rankings on the NCAA, it

532
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,040
just has quad 1, quad 2, quad 3,
quad 4.

533
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:00,640
That doesn't break it out even
further.

534
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,200
I'm looking at Torvic.
Torvic takes it to another

535
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,960
level.
Clemson's 01/3 and quad one, but

536
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,520
they're six and five and Quad
1A.

537
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,800
We don't want to talk about what
Louisville is in Quad 1A and

538
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,080
what they are in Quad 1.
So just before example,

539
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,600
Louisville's 018 quad one and
then six and nine and Quad 1A.

540
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,720
No, you got that backwards my
guy. 6:00 and 9:00 in.

541
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,760
Quad right the.
Other way, yeah.

542
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:31,480
Yeah, yeah, the other way, yes.
I don't know.

543
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:37,600
We're we're getting it's just
get Miami in the thing.

544
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,440
Get out of here.
Like that's like so you're,

545
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,760
you're saying reward them for
being undefeated.

546
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:50,760
That's like giving like, a
college kid, like a reading

547
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,040
award for reading, like Doctor
Seuss.

548
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,480
No, you don't get credit.
So you're a proficient reader

549
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,040
when you're in college by
reading a kindergartner's book

550
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:05,920
like Not Happening, No.
Doctor Seuss is classic.

551
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,800
It's hard to read like it's.
You got to read it fast like a

552
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,520
like a rapper.
Fine, the little engine that

553
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,440
could you not like, like an MIT
student reading the little

554
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,560
engine that could and saying
he's a he's a great reader.

555
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,960
Not not a bad, not a bad
comparison.

556
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,520
Well, I guess we talked about
doing a little draft with

557
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:33,160
championship contenders.
We're going to go 5 deep on each

558
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,800
side.
You can go first and then we'll

559
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:43,040
go and then we'll go snake.
But we're trying to see what

560
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:48,480
team, and we'll just see who at
what team has teams advance the

561
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,440
farthest in the NCAA Tournament.
OK.

562
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,680
I mean, if I'm my first pick,
you said you.

563
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,760
Got first pick all.
Right.

564
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,760
We're going with the team that's
just dominating.

565
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,840
They're on a roll.
They just beat Michigan on their

566
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,400
neutral court.
We're going to go Duke.

567
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,160
I mean, I think that's the
obvious choice.

568
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,840
Yeah, I think they're playing as
well as anybody.

569
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:13,920
I'll go.
I'm going to go Michigan and

570
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,960
then I'm going to go.
I'm not going to get them if I

571
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,120
don't wait.
It's hard not to pick Arizona

572
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,400
here, but I think I'm going
Florida.

573
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,680
That that was a good pick.
I was going to take Florida.

574
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,520
If you weren't good pick, good
pick.

575
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:32,960
I'm going to go, I get
back-to-back, I'm going to go

576
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:38,200
UConn and then Arizona with my
third pick.

577
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,880
So UConn my second pick,
Arizona's my third pick.

578
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,840
I think there's a clear top
five, so you have in the first

579
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,920
pick I think was a real
advantage.

580
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:54,880
Yeah.
But I'm got a clear answer here.

581
00:31:54,880 --> 00:32:00,440
I'm going Houston.
I still I know look, I think

582
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,120
it's more of a product of their
schedule right now.

583
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,480
Them struggling.
They got right on Saturday.

584
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:12,000
Give me Kelvin Sampson in in the
tournament every single year and

585
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,320
this is where it gets a little
tougher.

586
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,480
Yeah, you see, you have another
pick, right?

587
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,000
Yeah.
Yeah, it gets tough now.

588
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:30,040
I just, I can't trust Purdue.
I I think I'm going to have to

589
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,480
go Illinois.
Yeah, I don't know what's going

590
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,120
on with Purdue.
So you got to.

591
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:43,160
So you went Illinois, huh?
I like this team, but I mean,

592
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,200
they just don't have any success
in the tournament.

593
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:49,040
Like like I I want to pick
Nebraska, but I don't know.

594
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,480
I don't know.
I mean, I could see them just

595
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,160
choking though.
Give me the Michigan State

596
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,280
Spartans with my next one all.
Right.

597
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,120
And then your last pick.
How many of you picked?

598
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,160
I got one more OK and I know how
I'm taking so.

599
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,680
Are you taking the Huskies?
I'm not telling you.

600
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,760
Give me the zags.
I definitely would not have

601
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,640
taken his eggs.
Taken his eggs.

602
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,280
Give me the, give me the
cyclones.

603
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:24,360
Oh, I don't know about that one,
dude.

604
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,040
Author Burgers prove he can do
it.

605
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,400
I love that one.
I would take Nebraska over Iowa

606
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,960
State.
I don't think I'll yeah, we can

607
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:38,880
keep going.
Like if I was going one more, I

608
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:43,120
would I would probably go Texas
Tech and then let you have and

609
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,400
then let you have Nebraska.
All right, I'll take Nebraska.

610
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:51,040
All right, we'll go 60.
Then outside of that, it's just

611
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:55,560
a bunch of OK teams.
But if I look at it now, like if

612
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,600
I'm thinking teams that can win
it all.

613
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,920
Yeah, there's only 5.
Duke, Michigan, Arizona,

614
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,920
Florida, Connecticut is a clear
tier.

615
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,159
I think Houston's right there.
Right.

616
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,880
No, I'm including Houston and
my. 6 We can do that, OK.

617
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,480
I'm including Houston and my 6.
Those are so, you know, I think

618
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:20,560
those are the clear six, yeah.
And then like the next tier

619
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:26,480
would be would be Illinois, Iowa
State, Michigan State, Nebraska,

620
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:33,800
Texas Tech, and then you get in
some teams that maybe could make

621
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,080
a run to do lead 8.
I just don't see mate

622
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,520
potentially the final Four, but
I just don't see anybody else

623
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:44,199
that can really win at all.
No, I would agree with that.

624
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:50,560
And we are It is the beginning
of conference tournaments this

625
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,440
week.
OVC men's tournament starts this

626
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,400
week.
A bunch of the the Power Four

627
00:34:55,400 --> 00:35:01,480
women's tournaments start this
week, but one tournament that I

628
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,600
think we need to talk about.
Yeah.

629
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:10,920
Is the sunbelt and the way that
it is designed.

630
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,840
I mean, it's designed to get
your top team into basically the

631
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:19,120
end of the NCAA tournament.
And look, the OVC does this too,

632
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:25,600
where they only take the top
eight teams and basically 5

633
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,440
through 8 play the first night.
The winners of those games play

634
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,800
3 and four.
And then the winners of those

635
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:36,120
games play one and two, which I
I think is a, that's a good

636
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,400
bracket.
It helps your one and two teams

637
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:43,360
get it, get a chance to get in.
But this Sunbelt tournament?

638
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,200
I mean, they stretch it all the
way out to a.

639
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:50,920
Whole another level.
Yeah, you've got 12 or 11

640
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:57,400
through 14 playing on tomorrow,
11 through 14 play tomorrow.

641
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:03,200
The winners of those games play
the what?

642
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:07,360
The nine and the 10 scene on
Wednesday.

643
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,000
The winner of those games play
the seven and the 8.

644
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,840
The winners of those games play
the the five and the six.

645
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,520
The winner of those games play
the three and the four, and the

646
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,280
winner of those guys play the
one and the two.

647
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,400
This is just dumb.
It's just dumb.

648
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:27,160
Like to me, the OVC tournament,
the only the top eight teams get

649
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:31,360
in, you give your ones and twos
a double by your threes and

650
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,760
fours get a single by that
tournament.

651
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,000
Makes a lot of sense.
Like you're like, what's the

652
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,760
point of this?
Like you're just if you're going

653
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,160
to do this, you might as well
just chop your field in half and

654
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,000
just play the top four and like
in a semi final.

655
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,120
And then just, you know, just go
that route.

656
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:51,480
Because if you're playing on day
one, if you're the 11th through

657
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,920
12, see the I'm sorry, the 11th
through 14 seed, you have to win

658
00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:01,320
seven games and seven days.
You start on March 3rd and you

659
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,200
play every single day through
March 9th if you want to try to

660
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,640
get to the dates.
I mean, that's just impossible.

661
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,880
It's impossible.
So what's the point?

662
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,120
Like why, why, why are we doing
these doing this to these kids?

663
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:14,920
Like it's not fair.
Well.

664
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,520
That's a good point too, because
we talk about how, Oh, and we

665
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,640
don't talk about as much now in
this era, but used to be schools

666
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,680
first.
Yeah, right.

667
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,600
Yeah, You're calling for seven
days.

668
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,000
You're forcing the team to play
seven games in seven days and

669
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,160
win all of them.
And it's not.

670
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:30,960
It's not.
It's not.

671
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,720
Going to happen.
No, we've.

672
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,520
Just we've seen, we've seen like
NC State two years ago, win five

673
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,560
and five days, Yeah.
So we've seen that.

674
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,000
Can you expand it to where
you're winning seven and seven?

675
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,880
No, but even in this situation
where NC State won five and five

676
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,920
days, they were going against
other teams that were also

677
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,000
playing.
Like even the championship game

678
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,000
Duke had played for three or
four straight days.

679
00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:01,040
By the time you get to the semi
finals, you've already played

680
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,680
five games and you're playing a
team that's been sitting and

681
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,200
resting for five days.
They're fresh, they're ready to

682
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,040
come, you know, beat the hell
out of you and you're probably

683
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,200
dead tired.
Like it's just nice.

684
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,680
It just doesn't seem fair.
Just like if you're going to go

685
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,320
this route, just cut your
tournament in half and play

686
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,560
normal tournament.
Yeah, I, I don't it's all

687
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,800
they're they're in Pensacola.
So at least it's a it's a nice

688
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:29,600
place to be.
But, and look, I think they're

689
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,400
doing this because they want it
to catch attention.

690
00:38:33,240 --> 00:38:36,040
And would we be talking about?
They want to get their one and

691
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,560
two seeds into the check.
They want that one seed to get

692
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,800
in the tournament.
But you can do that without this

693
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,920
gimmicky bracket.
I just told you how the OVC does

694
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,080
it.
I agree makes a lot of sense.

695
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,720
You cut the field like you only
allow eight teams in the

696
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:53,200
tournament and you let your ones
and twos get double buys.

697
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,280
They only got to win two games
to get into the tournament.

698
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,920
And I mean this is just
gimmicky.

699
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:03,560
It's, it's trying to get people
like this to talk about it,

700
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:08,080
trying to get it, you know,
that's what this is all about.

701
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:09,880
I mean, they're getting us to
talk about it, but they're

702
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,560
getting us to talk about how
stupid it is.

703
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,480
Not that.
Oh this is great.

704
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,200
Like.
I would Preston Friedland's the

705
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,920
head coaches, James Madison,
they are the the nine seed.

706
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,600
We obviously worked together
when we were at Morehead State.

707
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:28,120
I would like to get his thoughts
on this bracket after after the

708
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,560
season.
Shooting the text, get them on

709
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,920
the show. 6:00 But they they
have to win because they're

710
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,720
playing on 2nd day.
It's in six days they're.

711
00:39:36,720 --> 00:39:38,280
Going to have to win six in six
days.

712
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,280
We talk about how hard it is to
win six in a row just to win the

713
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,560
national championship and now
you to win the Sunbelt title you

714
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,320
got to do it six times in six
days.

715
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:54,640
It's just dumb, impossible.
How many of these games will you

716
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,640
watch from the Sunbelt
Conference tournament?

717
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,920
You going to tune in to?
What is it tomorrow?

718
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,840
Watch Georgia State, Louisiana,
or Louisiana Monroe versus Old

719
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,800
Dominion.
I will try to tune in on

720
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:10,600
Wednesday if possible to watch
James Madison play the winner of

721
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,800
Louisiana Georgia State.
That'll probably be the first

722
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,160
game in the.
IPO.

723
00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:22,880
In the Sunbelt tournament, I
will watch in the OVC we got so

724
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,920
Johnny Maddox, Morehead State
and Nolan Smith, Tennessee State

725
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,920
Tigers share the OVC title.
They'll both are the the one and

726
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,640
two seeds in the OVC tournament.
Yep, they they will play in

727
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,720
Evansville on on Friday night.
Morehead State will tip off at

728
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:41,560
10:30 Eastern Time in
Evansville.

729
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,760
It's always, I don't understand
why it's all, it's always

730
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,080
because it's on ESPN 2.
It's made for TV.

731
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,640
But they're the one seed I'm
making a play that late as the

732
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:50,720
one.
Tennessee states the one in.

733
00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:54,680
There too.
But Congrats to Nolan Smith and

734
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,120
Congrats to to Johnny Maddox on
sharing that title.

735
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:02,680
Yeah, yeah.
And then on the women's side, U

736
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,720
of L will be the two seed in in
the ACC tournament this year in

737
00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:08,000
Duluth, GA, for the first time.
Yeah.

738
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,160
It's kind of a it's, I think
it's a wide open tournament.

739
00:41:11,720 --> 00:41:13,920
Obviously Louisville's not going
into this play in their best

740
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:18,560
basketball, but I think you kind
of hope that, you know, you

741
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,320
regroup a little bit, get a win
on Friday and then just kind of

742
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,400
try to get things rolling
downhill a little bit and and

743
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,080
see what can happen.
Yeah, looking forward to it.

744
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,520
We'll be there.
You finally got the courage to,

745
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,200
you know, ask for a ride and
you'll be driving down there on

746
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:34,680
Thursday.
So we'll see you down there.

747
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,520
But yeah, I know the ACC
tournament's going to be great.

748
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,640
Louisville had a chance
yesterday to, to beat Notre Dame

749
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,600
on their homecourt and share the
conference championship, the

750
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,360
regular season conference
championship and just

751
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:46,480
unfortunately couldn't get it
done.

752
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:51,040
But Duke losing 2 out of their
last three shows that they are

753
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,200
beatable now.
They, they hadn't lost all year

754
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,800
until that Clemson game and
they've now lost two or three.

755
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,920
So it is wide open.
Notre Dame, it looks like

756
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:00,800
they're playing their best
basketball this season.

757
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,360
And with Hana Hidalgo running
the point, you know, they can

758
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,120
probably beat anybody.
So they're, they're going to be

759
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,160
something a team to reckon with.
And North Carolina's playing

760
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,160
good ball.
So wide open, wide open.

761
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,760
Yeah, it's it's not like it's
been in the past where there's a

762
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,000
clear favorite.
And unfortunately, Louisville's

763
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,880
also going in a tournament
losing two or three.

764
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:26,760
But like, like I said, did you
get that first win on Friday and

765
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,320
kind of shake off the cobwebs a
little bit?

766
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,560
And you never know what's going
to happen in this tournament.

767
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,680
And anybody can win it.
But I I don't know if anybody

768
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,400
can win.
I think the top five teams, all

769
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,280
all can win it and.
Yeah, I think that's, I think

770
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,440
it's 5 deep.
I think it's 5 deep as well and

771
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,640
just just glad to be out of
Greensboro and onto a new

772
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:49,120
location to Duluth, GA.
Yeah, I'm excited, Excited to go

773
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:53,440
down and hopefully see the Cards
win three games and get the

774
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:57,080
first ACC title since 2018.
Yeah, I think, I think

775
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:58,680
Louisville have a good
contingency of fans.

776
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:02,200
I mean, we've sold about 150 a
160 tickets in our allotment and

777
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,120
several others that wanted to
buy, but they were a little too

778
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,200
late.
I think we'll have a decent,

779
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,320
decent showing down there.
Looking forward to it.

780
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,200
Bunch of former Cardinals in the
crowd last night.

781
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,480
Saw that, Saw Asia Derbis back,
Yeah.

782
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:20,000
Asia, Derbis, Robinson, Jada
Curry all in the house got to

783
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:24,520
got to see Asia and the family
in the little bar area down

784
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,640
underneath yesterday at halftime
was good to see them and.

785
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,560
Oh nice.
Think they might be, obviously

786
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,120
with being from the Atlanta
area, I think they might be

787
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:34,320
there.
What's she doing now?

788
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,520
I know she COVID kind of
derailed her career and that

789
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,760
really was unfortunate because
she was a great, great ball

790
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,560
player.
She's still trying to play

791
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:42,640
somewhere.
Is she trying to get into

792
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,240
coaching?
What's what's, what's her story?

793
00:43:44,240 --> 00:43:46,440
You talked to her at all?
She just got back, she played in

794
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,680
China, OK, and it's kind of
trying to figure out her next

795
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,920
steps.
She she coached briefly at

796
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,880
Charlotte.
So, but I she's, she's focused

797
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,680
on playing and, and, but it was,
it was great to see her in the

798
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:04,520
fam and dude to talk about the
next one, to have their, their

799
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,320
jersey up in the rafters on the
women's side.

800
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,920
I I think that's who it is.
Yeah, I would say so.

801
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:13,360
I would say so.
We'll talk a little quick,

802
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,000
Bengals.
All right, go ahead.

803
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:17,480
Throw some NFL news in there.
Yeah.

804
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,160
Well, they did the easy thing.
They did, do they?

805
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,360
They didn't.
They didn't screw up the easy,

806
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:28,280
which is important, that is.
Obviously after the season made

807
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:33,040
it very obvious that he would
like to remain a Bengal and

808
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,520
sometimes you you just don't
know what this front office if

809
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,480
they're going to be able to pull
off the easy today they signed

810
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,040
him to a one year deal for the
first time and Joe Burrows

811
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:47,600
tenure he will have his entire
offensive line returning and the

812
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,720
second-half of the season.
This actually was one of the

813
00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:52,080
better offensive lines in the
league.

814
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:57,680
So a good thing.
Yeah, I I guess I'm just glad

815
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,760
that the front office didn't
screw up the easy thing.

816
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,480
Reisner made it known that he
wanted to come back.

817
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,800
The coaches wanted him back.
But more more importantly, Joe

818
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,840
Burrow wanted him back.
And Joe Reisner talked about Joe

819
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:09,800
texting him throughout this
whole process.

820
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,920
Want to know if the deal has
been done yet, deals been done

821
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,960
yet and send him a
congratulatory text today.

822
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,520
And, you know, they're focused
now on on winning football.

823
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,280
So good to have him back.
He played well.

824
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,600
Like like to have the continuity
on the on the offensive line

825
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,400
some something that Joe Burrow
hasn't had.

826
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,360
And hopefully they that helps
with the some of the slow starts

827
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,480
that we've had in in the past
couple years and maybe we get

828
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:32,760
out of the gate a little bit
hotter.

829
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,800
I would hope because the
offensive line has played a big

830
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,240
role in why they've had slow
starts.

831
00:45:38,240 --> 00:45:41,120
Yes, and it's like every year
it's not just protecting the

832
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,360
quarterback.
The running game is always slow

833
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,720
at the beginning of the year.
And then for some reason halfway

834
00:45:45,720 --> 00:45:47,600
through the season they become
one of the better running teams

835
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,480
in the league.
But like, we give the Bengals

836
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,360
organization a lot of crap.
We're not giving them credit for

837
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,080
doing the easy thing and.
Rightfully so.

838
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,360
Not giving them credit for doing
the easy thing.

839
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:58,360
What?
No.

840
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,960
Well, the Rise Reisner's quote.
They deserve some props for

841
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,720
that.
Did you see we got to talk?

842
00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:04,600
All right, We're going to do
this.

843
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,560
We also need to talk about the
players grading the report card

844
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,920
of the.
We haven't got into that yet, so

845
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:14,480
we will get into that.
But like Reisner basically said,

846
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:19,240
I've never felt this way about
an organization, and that's a

847
00:46:19,240 --> 00:46:20,880
positive.
What does that mean though?

848
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,080
What does that mean?
What is?

849
00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:26,440
He feeling he's he's obviously
just really happy to to be there

850
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,480
to be a Cincinnati Bengal.
I think he enjoys playing with

851
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:33,920
for Zach Taylor I I think he
enjoys playing with Ted Karas.

852
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,760
I think he enjoys playing with
Joe Burrow but.

853
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,440
Well, he must not have a family
because.

854
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,320
Well he does because his wife
was trying to break the news and

855
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:47,080
beat these be Adam Schefter on
social media so.

856
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:51,720
I didn't see that, but yeah, you
look at the, we talked about the

857
00:46:51,720 --> 00:46:54,720
grading of the Bengals from the
NFL Players Association

858
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:59,920
treatment of families minus,
like not just an ethnic, an F

859
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:04,320
minus is how the the players
view the Bengals treatment of

860
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:05,960
their families.
That's problem.

861
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:10,600
I don't think it could get much
worse than that F minus, unless

862
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,440
you just want to keep adding
minuses.

863
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:19,440
But look, you see all these, How
many Bengals wives have we seen

864
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,440
that try to get popular on
social media?

865
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,480
You don't ever see them and
complain about anything about

866
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,840
the way they're treated.
You ever see Jake Browning's

867
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,960
wife when she's all over social
with her fit check every single

868
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,400
game complaining about the couch
in the lobby?

869
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,040
She probably does behind closed
doors.

870
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:38,160
I don't know.
I don't.

871
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:39,960
Know all right, keep going what
else what else we.

872
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,280
Got we have treatment of
families F minus.

873
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:46,480
Not good food.
The food and dining area F

874
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:47,800
minus.
What?

875
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:50,960
Are they making these guys eat
like in a closet?

876
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,920
They in the janitor's closet
sitting on a bucket eating a

877
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,320
Bologna sandwich for lunch.
Is that what we've like?

878
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,640
What?
How are you getting an F minus

879
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:03,200
in food slash dining area?
Then your nutrition slash

880
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:07,880
dietitian also gets an F.
So if you come home from school,

881
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:09,520
yeah.
And you bring your parents a

882
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:14,560
report card?
Yeah, with that one F -, 2 F

883
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:19,960
minuses and an F How?
How are they going to handle

884
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,480
that?
Oh, I'd be grounded for life

885
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,600
like.
So can we ground Mike Brown?

886
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:31,560
Yes, we I mean, I wish yes, like
we, we've been saying all along

887
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,200
how we wish you would sub team
an F minus.

888
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:35,680
Like that's what I was like,
what are like, what are they

889
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,440
feeding these guys, these guys
and where are they making them

890
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,160
eat?
So where you're getting an F

891
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:45,240
minus for your dining area, food
and nutritionist, dietitian like

892
00:48:45,240 --> 00:48:47,880
what is this?
This is what I'm envisioning.

893
00:48:48,240 --> 00:48:49,320
Yeah.
I'm.

894
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:53,640
I envision Chris Farley.
It is hat singing the sloppy Joe

895
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,800
song, just slamming sloppy joes
on everybody's plate.

896
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:03,280
And they probably spill over
into the family area and there's

897
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,720
just sloppy Joe stains
everywhere.

898
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:10,560
And, and that was also a tribute
to the nutrition dietitian

899
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,040
because I can't imagine that
sloppy joes are probably the

900
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:16,160
healthiest.
So that's probably the main

901
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,680
reason for that.
But your boy Mike Brown got AD

902
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,760
Plus for ownership, so.
That's not good either.

903
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,400
No, I'm saying he ain't going to
do anything about it.

904
00:49:24,720 --> 00:49:27,520
No, we got AD minus on a home
game field.

905
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,360
I don't know what that means.
Does the field.

906
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,400
It means the field sucks and I
get on the field all the time

907
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,200
because the end zones always
look like crap.

908
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,240
Even when they got a new field,
it just gets.

909
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,600
A new field?
Just get a new field like last

910
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,040
year.
They did and it it still doesn't

911
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,080
look great.
I mean, they probably, it was

912
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:48,200
probably used by some D3
football team and we got a deal

913
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:49,560
on it and we just had to
repaint.

914
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:54,880
It like team travel team travel
C minus below average C minus

915
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,280
like these are like the things
like the treatment of families,

916
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:01,960
the food like the the travel.
No, you froze up, you're back.

917
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,640
The, the, the treatment of
families, the food, like the

918
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,440
travel, like these are things
that free agents will look at.

919
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,600
If you're trying to lure some
free agents in and it's between

920
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:14,000
you and two other teams and you
have this reputation of not

921
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,520
taking care of their families
and feeding them sloppy joes in

922
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:21,320
a closet and you're flying,
you're flying commercial.

923
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:25,080
Like you're flying commercial to
all of your stops or whatever.

924
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,360
Like, I mean, I know they're not
flying commercial, but you got

925
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,600
crappy airplanes.
Like, no, like I'm going to go

926
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,200
somewhere else.
Like you got to get better at

927
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:33,680
the it's, it's not just this
year.

928
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,520
Like they've gotten FS and F
minuses almost every year and

929
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:37,720
they don't do anything to fix
it.

930
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,560
They don't care.
They don't do anything to fix

931
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:42,440
it.
It's yeah, there's just so

932
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,560
cheap.
Drives me crazy.

933
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,200
The the only positives were the
locker room and the training

934
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,040
room and the training staff and
then some of the some of the

935
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,720
staff like the coaches got some
good grades.

936
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:55,840
Your boy Zach Taylor was an A
minus.

937
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,160
This is Buddy Buddy's back
'cause he's he's basically their

938
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,560
age that goes drinks with him
after the game.

939
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,360
Pitcher was a minus so.
Yeah.

940
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:09,280
Their St. coaches got an A SO.
Training staff was an A, so

941
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,120
yeah, I mean, there's, there's
some A's, but.

942
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,160
But it's all the people.
The people are what got A's.

943
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:18,320
Yeah.
And the facilities?

944
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,160
Facilities all got.
The way you treat, yeah, people

945
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:28,200
other than going into the
training group is it's not good,

946
00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:31,640
not good.
But look, they're not going to

947
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:36,280
get free agents normally.
But the fact that they have Joe

948
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,560
Burrow and they could actually
be competitive is the reason why

949
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:44,040
they will get free agents.
And the problem is you don't

950
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:45,160
figure out a way to win this
year.

951
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,560
You lose that luxury and then
you don't get anybody.

952
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:51,320
Then we suck.
So that's why this is the

953
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:54,960
biggest offseason in the history
of this franchise and they sure

954
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,640
as hell better figure out a way
to fix that defence and put a

955
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,760
winning product on the field.
Or or you got problems.

956
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:06,160
Yep, Yep.
Because then fixing all this

957
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:07,320
stuff ain't even going to
matter.

958
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:11,760
Because now that I'm sad, but
I'm excited.

959
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:17,440
As a as a fan, as a fan, what
would you give the Bengals a

960
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:22,280
grade for fan experience?
When they did not, They did not

961
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,040
shovel your seat and screen in
in.

962
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,280
That day, how many?
Mind, keep in mind what they've

963
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,400
done to you this year.
We'll see what your grade is.

964
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,320
Overall fan experience for Nick
Evans.

965
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:35,120
Dude, that moment where I'm it
was, I don't, I might put 20

966
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:39,920
minuses behind the death.
Just absolute garbage.

967
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:44,280
Just just unbelievable.
I I will say overall the fan

968
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,800
experience has improved over the
last couple of years.

969
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:51,560
OK, but it ain't, it ain't great
yet.

970
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:58,280
And you just can't, you can't
show the fact that you care more

971
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,800
about money than you care about
your fans on a day like that.

972
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,920
And just getting out there and
cleaning that stadium would have

973
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,560
just shown they cared and they
chose otherwise.

974
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:10,640
And that's it's bullshit.
Yeah, but I will give an A, I'll

975
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,720
give an A+ to the beer vendor.
That's that.

976
00:53:12,720 --> 00:53:15,360
Hawks beers outside of section
312, The dude from Louisville

977
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:18,240
that knows you from from
whatever A.

978
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:19,440
Pluses.
Yeah.

979
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:20,000
Where?
Where?

980
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:21,080
Where's he from?
Where do you know?

981
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:22,760
From the bats games or
Louisville?

982
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:24,520
He's.
Always up in He's up in the PNC.

983
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:26,800
PNC, the PNC guy.
Yeah, yeah, always.

984
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,600
Up in the PNC club.
We'll give, we'll give beer

985
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,640
vendors A plus for the
Cincinnati Bengals.

986
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:35,840
Well, and I'm sure in turn they
will also give us an A+, so.

987
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:42,560
Fact.
The the cognizant was at Palm

988
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,400
Springs.
We won't get into it too much

989
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,960
because it was a really limited
field, but Shane Lowry's three

990
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,640
up with three to go looks like
he's going to cruise to victory

991
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:54,240
and he does what probably me or
you would do in that situation.

992
00:53:55,240 --> 00:54:01,120
Water on 16, water on 17, you
back-to-back double S, you turn

993
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:05,400
a three shot lead and a two shot
deficit and you end up losing to

994
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,640
Niko Echeverria.
That's that's kind of a brutal

995
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:10,880
way to lose a tournament.
Well, and dude, you know how

996
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:12,520
they do the spray charts.
Yeah.

997
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,240
So 16 is, is par three over
water.

998
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:20,400
They did the spray chart and
they're like this white dot of

999
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,880
Shane Lowery's.
It was 50 yards short of

1000
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,080
everybody else's shot.
Like I don't even.

1001
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:29,040
He shanked it.
Yeah, just completely shanked it

1002
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,480
and couldn't figure out a way to
win.

1003
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:36,600
But I'm wearing this hat because
we are at we got the Arnold

1004
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:38,200
Palmer Invitational this
weekend.

1005
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:42,920
Boy, a palm club.
OK, your boy Ricky going to be

1006
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,000
in that one.
Yeah, of course he's a, he's a,

1007
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,680
he's a Arnold Palmer ambassador.
He'll he'll be he'll be wearing

1008
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:51,360
some good Puma Puma gear this
weekend.

1009
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:56,120
All right.
We've talked a lot of hockey

1010
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:58,440
because of the Olympics.
We got a new hockey story.

1011
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,520
Oh yeah.
You imagine you before.

1012
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,360
We get it before we get into
that, yeah, since we did talk

1013
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,440
about hockey, how are your Tampa
Bay Lightning doing since the

1014
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,880
terrible play?
You get up with them.

1015
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,120
You said you shouldn't be a big
fan and.

1016
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,880
Carl, who is also trying to
become a Lightning fan, already

1017
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,640
wants me out.
Because they've been terrible.

1018
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:20,520
I don't think they've won a
game.

1019
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,840
But I got to stick to it.
I got to stick to it all right.

1020
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,000
I have not watched a game.
I have kept up with them.

1021
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:30,080
I came, I came home one night
after I think I had dinner with

1022
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,600
the parents house and I was
going to turn it on and I turned

1023
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:33,560
it on.
It was already over.

1024
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:40,000
So I made an effort but did not
actually watch any hockey but

1025
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:45,240
UMass and UConn and their season
is very similar to college

1026
00:55:45,240 --> 00:55:48,360
basketball season.
So they are amping up for their

1027
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:55,440
64 team tournament and in this
game's in overtime and it's

1028
00:55:55,440 --> 00:56:02,080
UConn and U Mass at UMass and
they do three on three and

1029
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,720
UMass, it's at UMass, right?
That's what I said.

1030
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:06,840
That is correct.
They're getting right, looking

1031
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:10,040
like they're challenging to
score, but really they don't get

1032
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:13,400
that close.
But the marketing people at

1033
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:17,240
UMass think they scored.
The lights start going off and

1034
00:56:17,240 --> 00:56:19,280
then UConn gets a break of their
own.

1035
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,440
They get close to the goal and
the lights just go out

1036
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:26,480
completely.
So they're getting ready to

1037
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:30,440
score to maybe win the game.
And this is a team that needed

1038
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,600
this wind of because they're
kind of on the bubble.

1039
00:56:33,240 --> 00:56:35,560
Yeah, they're on the on the
incidentally, tournament bubble

1040
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,200
for hockey, yes.
So they're all on a break,

1041
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,240
lights are flashing, then the
lights go out completely.

1042
00:56:41,720 --> 00:56:45,960
They clearly cannot score in the
dark and then it goes to a

1043
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:47,840
shootout.
They end up losing in the

1044
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:51,160
shootout.
I don't know if this I I think I

1045
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,840
would put this game under
protest if if I'm UConn.

1046
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:55,800
I mean, I would if that's a
thing.

1047
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,240
I mean, I don't know what that
does, but I mean.

1048
00:56:58,240 --> 00:56:59,600
People do it in baseball.
That never does.

1049
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,320
Anything.
So yeah, what's it say?

1050
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,320
But like, we accept your
protest, you still lose.

1051
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:07,040
Like, I don't know, like I'm not
going to go back and replay the

1052
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:11,320
game, But I mean just like
complete homecourt, like just

1053
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,920
like a like the marketing team,
they knew what they were doing.

1054
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,880
They knew what they were doing.
I mean, they screwed up to begin

1055
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:20,040
with, but once they realized
they screwed up and that UConn

1056
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,720
was on a breakaway, they just
shut the whole thing down.

1057
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:26,720
Just shut it all off Stop it.
There was only a minute left in

1058
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:28,320
overtime too.
Like it was coming down to the

1059
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,200
end.
And dude, they like 3 on three.

1060
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:34,040
Any break is a chance to score
because there's just not that

1061
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:38,040
many defenders.
And like, do you think that you

1062
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:39,360
asked?
Like, do you think the lights go

1063
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,360
out automatically?
Like when they start doing that

1064
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,240
the the light show when they
score?

1065
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:46,960
But dude, it was pitch dark.
Like, well, like the lights

1066
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:49,280
started, I guess they hit the
goal horns a little.

1067
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,360
The sign, the the Zamboni horn
or whatever that thing is was

1068
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:54,520
going off.
And then the strobe, like the,

1069
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,840
the, the, the lights were
flashing for a second, then they

1070
00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:00,880
kind of went red and then dark
right as Yukon was going in for

1071
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:03,880
a shot.
Just lights out.

1072
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,240
It's kind of brilliant, kind of
a genius move.

1073
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:10,240
But I you just wonder if
somebody's up there.

1074
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:16,600
Nope, not today.
Boom, start the lights out it it

1075
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:18,320
clearly worked.
It works.

1076
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,800
I mean, they won the game
because, I mean, maybe not

1077
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:22,560
because of it, because we don't
know if UConn would have scored,

1078
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:25,440
but they had a great chance to.
So they very well could have

1079
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:27,600
been the reason that that UMass
wins that game.

1080
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:29,360
I don't know if UMass is on the
bubble.

1081
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,840
When I looked at the rankings,
they were 18th and UConn was

1082
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:36,240
13th at the time.
So I don't know, I guess UMass

1083
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:38,400
is behind UConn.
But if they're both bubble

1084
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:40,760
teams, this was an important
game for both of them.

1085
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,360
And you know your marketing team
came through for you.

1086
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:46,520
Will you watch any of the hockey
tournament?

1087
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:51,040
No, maybe the frozen.
Maybe the frozen four.

1088
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:53,280
I've seen the frozen 4 before.
Like you'll turn it on if it's

1089
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:54,480
close?
Closely, yeah.

1090
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:56,880
Yeah.
I mean, usually it's the same

1091
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:58,720
teams.
You see Denver and Boston

1092
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:02,960
College and Boston and
Minnesota, Michigan.

1093
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:04,520
I think usually that's a pretty
good team.

1094
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:08,920
Notre Dame, I don't know, those
northern, northern states, maybe

1095
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:10,400
North Dakota or something like
that.

1096
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:12,960
Yeah, pick it up, pick it up if
it's close late and we'll see

1097
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,040
what happens.
Yeah, we're we're hockey guys

1098
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:16,960
now, so.
I hope Yukon gets in.

1099
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:23,080
Yeah, and I hope they turn the
lights on somebody else if if

1100
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:24,600
they need to figure out a way to
get in.

1101
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:29,040
They got the strategy.
Now, Fernando Mendoza is going

1102
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,240
to be the number one pick in the
draft to the Raiders.

1103
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:35,800
But there's one team when he's
in an interview that says, hey,

1104
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,480
dude, why don't you just go get
arrested?

1105
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:42,400
Go get arrested.
So then maybe you'll slide down

1106
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:48,240
the draft and we can get you.
I think if all the people that

1107
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,560
might get arrested, I think he
might be close to last on the

1108
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:53,440
list.
So I would probably we were

1109
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:56,520
drafting if we were drafting
athletes most likely to get

1110
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:59,560
arrested.
He would be the last bit taken

1111
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:02,520
probably.
But what a genius move by the

1112
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:05,240
the team that whoever said that.
I mean, first of all, why?

1113
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:06,920
I don't know why you're
interviewing the kid, because

1114
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:08,160
you don't really.
Waste of.

1115
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:12,000
Time, unless you are thinking
about trading up to get them,

1116
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,400
which I don't know who the which
team it is, if they need a

1117
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,200
quarterback or not, but you're
just wasting your time.

1118
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,080
But, you know, throw a little
comedy into the interview and,

1119
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,600
you know, pretty, pretty smart
play.

1120
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:28,920
Yeah, and like he's like what is
he's doing a little interview

1121
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:33,040
and telling that story and it's
just I I guess I guess that's

1122
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:35,880
one way to try to get Fred.
Ain't no been Mendoza to your

1123
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:39,920
squad just.
You think he'll be good for the

1124
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:44,280
Raiders?
I I want to say yes, he's just.

1125
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:49,160
He's a smart kid.
He is and I think that'll help

1126
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:52,040
him figure it out.
It's just, I don't know, like I,

1127
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:55,840
I don't think that he's a no
brainer like some of these other

1128
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:57,760
#1 picks.
And we've seen a lot of #1 picks

1129
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,760
fail as well.
I don't.

1130
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:03,480
What you're saying is he's no
Joe Burrow.

1131
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:06,720
That is, I think that's pretty
obvious.

1132
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,360
We've we've compared their
numbers as as Heisman Trophy

1133
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:15,040
winners and look, you're going
into a tough situation too.

1134
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:17,360
Yeah.
Which?

1135
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:22,520
Would they hire?
You don't put me on a spot like

1136
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:23,840
that.
I don't honestly don't even

1137
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:26,920
remember.
Oakland Raiders head coach Who

1138
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:29,120
did that?
I love Google and Clint Kubiak.

1139
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:33,680
Oh well.
I guess we'll close with this

1140
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:38,640
one.
Cameron Brink play for Stanford,

1141
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:40,160
now plays for the Fever.
Yeah.

1142
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:42,960
She's she's, she's attractive.
Yeah.

1143
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:45,560
She's, she's born in your
warehouse.

1144
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:47,600
She's she's, she's pretty tall.
Yeah.

1145
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:56,960
Revealed on social media this
week how her now fiance Ben

1146
01:01:56,960 --> 01:02:00,600
Felter.
It's a good last name for.

1147
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:04,560
Cameron Felter, is that where
we're going?

1148
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:12,600
To go, Yeah, Ben Felter, how he
first put in work on her and we

1149
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:15,480
hear all this stuff about people
hitting up the DMS and and stuff

1150
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:16,920
like that.
Yeah.

1151
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:21,320
He went a different route.
He went the old fashioned, huh?

1152
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:25,880
It's a little unconventional.
He went the old fashioned e-mail

1153
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:30,760
and his, I think his subject
line.

1154
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,440
How did he find her e-mail?
Sure, you look it up, people.

1155
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:36,160
You can find.
If you need to find somebody's

1156
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,320
e-mail, you can find it.
I can find Joe Burrows e-mail.

1157
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:41,400
No, not Joe Burrows all.
Right, Who can I can I find?

1158
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:44,120
Can I find Caitlin Clark's
e-mail?

1159
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:47,120
Probably not, but they did go
how?

1160
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:48,800
How?
Did you find Cameron brakes

1161
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:50,200
They.
Did go to Stanford together so

1162
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,320
maybe that is.
Is they already knew each other?

1163
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:54,160
I don't think they knew each
other, but they did go to

1164
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:55,960
Stanford.
They both are Stanford guys.

1165
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:59,680
OK.
But his e-mail is subject line

1166
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:06,080
attempting to mingle.
I love it.

1167
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:09,200
I mean, it should have been
shooting my shot is what I would

1168
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:11,600
have said.
I mean, I that could work too,

1169
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:14,160
but I just like the non
aggressiveness of it.

1170
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:16,240
Like you're still, you're
putting it out there.

1171
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:18,440
If she responds, she responds.
If she doesn't, she doesn't.

1172
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:21,280
Well, she's a basketball player,
you got to say.

1173
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:23,400
Shooting my shot.
And the and.

1174
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,840
Oh yeah, it is, dude.
But it still worked.

1175
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:28,640
It still worked.
Clearly it worked.

1176
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:32,360
An e-mail says, hey, Cameron
wanted to chat you up, but I

1177
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:34,120
think DMS are a little bit
creepy.

1178
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:36,560
Not that an e-mail is much
better.

1179
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:40,240
So here's my number.
Then that's it.

1180
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,080
That's that's that's it.
That's the whole e-mail.

1181
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:45,400
So you're just putting it out
there.

1182
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:50,880
If she responds, great, and if
she doesn't, I guess this just

1183
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:52,000
ain't no big deal.
So.

1184
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:55,080
Make good for him.
I mean she probably does get a

1185
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:58,760
lot of creepy DMS and all that
so good for him though somehow

1186
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:02,520
he stalks her and gets the
e-mail and just does a little

1187
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,680
the unconventional route.
Sometimes unconventional gets

1188
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:09,280
gets the attention that you want
and she she took him up on it.

1189
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,120
So I've I've got an idea.
Yeah.

1190
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:14,360
I'm just going to do a mass
e-mail.

1191
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:16,960
Mila Kunis.
Yeah, just.

1192
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,240
Who else we go?
Let's go to see this.

1193
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:24,720
Like she's married, but I've
done plenty of I've done plenty

1194
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:28,640
of mass emails in my, in my day
for, for all the different jobs

1195
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:32,120
that I've had.
Just copy and paste it, change

1196
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:34,440
the e-mail, change the first
name and boop, boop, boop.

1197
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:39,200
Just have two windows up and
just do it until it works.

1198
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:44,080
Do it until it works.
Who's at the top of that?

1199
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:46,880
List what I'm doing now.
Who's at the top of that list?

1200
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:51,760
Like we're talking, I don't
famous people.

1201
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:54,120
I don't know whoever you want to
send an e-mail to bro.

1202
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:56,360
It'd be I.
Guess you could be your old high

1203
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:57,800
school crush for all I know.
I don't know.

1204
01:04:57,800 --> 01:04:58,880
Who?
I tried to hit up Jesse Murr.

1205
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:00,480
I'm probably a little too old
for her.

1206
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:02,960
Who?
Jesse Murphy, she's just like

1207
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:05,440
2122.
I'm probably a little old, so a

1208
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:10,840
little over her, but I do think
it's better than what the

1209
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:20,000
strategy I'm doing now.
Which is nothing, Yeah.

1210
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:21,360
You got to come up with a
different strategy.

1211
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:23,120
Because nothing, Yeah, nothing
ain't going to work.

1212
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:24,120
You got to come up with
something.

1213
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:28,360
Honestly, my strategy right now
is go to karaoke, do Gangster's

1214
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:31,320
Paradise with you, and then hope
somebody comes up and says hi.

1215
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:35,240
Well, we attempted that strategy
on Saturday.

1216
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:38,560
Wasn't mad, I enjoyed it.
I like the change up, it was a

1217
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:39,640
good spot.
That was good.

1218
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:41,800
What's it called now?
The old Patrick's?

1219
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:42,360
What's it?
Called night.

1220
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:44,040
Caps Night.
Caps, Yeah.

1221
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:46,920
Night caps, Yeah, good spot on
Frankfurt Ave.

1222
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:49,440
Go check it out for anybody that
hasn't been well.

1223
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,560
Nice little couch area just.
A relaxing.

1224
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:54,920
Vibe.
Yeah, we did.

1225
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:56,480
We did.
We did A little Gangster's

1226
01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:58,800
Paradise, Yeah.
Then we switched it up.

1227
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:01,400
We did the.
Little Zach Bryan Something in

1228
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:02,720
the orange.
We sure did.

1229
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:06,800
I don't know if the something in
the orange was received as well

1230
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:09,040
as the gangster's paradise.
Usually, it's not.

1231
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:10,720
Gangster's Paradise is a crowd
favorite.

1232
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,440
It's just, yeah, it's just.
Odd kids.

1233
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:16,200
Kids these days, man.
If they're in their early 20s,

1234
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:18,240
they might not know what
Gangster's Paradise is, and it's

1235
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,320
kind of sad.
Which is sad, right?

1236
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:21,680
Yeah, it is sad.
It's a classic.

1237
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:25,000
Which is sad.
How many times in our lives have

1238
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:26,840
we karaoke Gangster's Paradise
together?

1239
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:31,840
It's been quite a few.
I would say I think it's

1240
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:33,920
approaching 20.
Yeah, it's been quite a few.

1241
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:39,840
Maybe even 2530, yeah, I think
the first time we did it was at

1242
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:44,880
the Athletics Christmas party in
the was it was at the Angels

1243
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:48,480
Envy or was at the PNC that.
Was the angels envy?

1244
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:52,760
Yeah, we did it there and ever
since then it's just kind of

1245
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:56,040
been our go to.
We've done it in Mexico, we've

1246
01:06:56,040 --> 01:07:01,960
done it in the one in Tampa Bay
was was the tightest 1.

1247
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:02,520
Ever.
Yeah.

1248
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:04,120
That that got the crowd going,
yeah.

1249
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:07,440
And you're up on a stage, you're
elevated, you kind of actually

1250
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:10,640
feel like you're like actually a
star a little bit.

1251
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:14,080
Everybody's going crazy singing
the words like that.

1252
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:16,560
We got video that one too.
That was that was the that was

1253
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:18,120
the tightest 1.
Yeah, that was a good one.

1254
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:20,840
Felt like felt like actual
legends on that.

1255
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:24,720
You actually got a girl's number
that night too, I believe,

1256
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:27,160
didn't you?
No, I need to bring that back.

1257
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:29,520
That one worked.
Bring those kids.

1258
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:31,560
Like, yeah, we just do.
I think we just need to go

1259
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:35,640
karaoke and all the time.
We'll go on tour the High

1260
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:38,000
Differential karaoke tour.
Yeah, that.

1261
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:41,840
I mean other than that my only
strategy is just start emailing

1262
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:47,320
chicks and I will change the the
e-mail to shooting your shot.

1263
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:48,440
I like that.
OK.

1264
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:52,280
Or maybe I'll do half and half,
do a little AB testing, see what

1265
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:56,120
see what works better.
Yeah, see what the open rate is.

1266
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:02,960
Yes, and see what what the
responses are, but I am

1267
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:06,360
appreciative to Ben Felter for
giving me New Hope.

1268
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:08,040
And giving me.
New strategy?

1269
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:10,840
You leaving anything else out?
No.

1270
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:17,080
No.
So I guess next week at this

1271
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,600
time we'll be getting ready for
conference tournaments.

1272
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:22,520
Yeah.
So we can kind of predict the

1273
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:26,080
winners of all the the the Power
for tournaments.

1274
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:31,080
Then the next week we've got to
do a show on Sunday night after

1275
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:34,160
Selection Sunday.
I know we've kind of moved to

1276
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:37,840
where we're doing Mondays, but I
think we need to do a live

1277
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:40,479
reaction on on Sunday night to
the Selection Sunday.

1278
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:43,720
Maybe it's going to be tough.
Why, why?

1279
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:45,000
Why are we?
Why is it going to be tough?

1280
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:48,240
Well, Nick, because that's also
the women's selection show and

1281
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:50,680
I'll be preparing to host the
first second round.

1282
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:52,040
And I got some work to do that
day.

1283
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:56,120
I got some links, I got some
tickets, some links to put out

1284
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:58,880
live so fans can buy tickets.
To our You missed the good old

1285
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:00,120
days when that was on Monday
night.

1286
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:04,319
Yeah, well, until ESPN screwed
it up and revealed the bracket

1287
01:09:04,319 --> 01:09:06,319
early.
Well, how wild was that?

1288
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:08,720
Just ruined our entire selection
show.

1289
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:11,600
The whole thing just comes out
early.

1290
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:14,640
We, we had, we were like,
remember we had like all the,

1291
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:18,359
the fans and stuff at the, at
the auditorium for the selection

1292
01:09:18,359 --> 01:09:20,520
show.
We already knew we were A1 seat.

1293
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:23,319
Was that when it that the
volleyball was nine?

1294
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:25,800
We was 18, right?
And that was 19.

1295
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:27,359
Yeah, like that.
Yeah, it was around that same

1296
01:09:27,359 --> 01:09:29,200
time.
Yeah, we we already knew we were

1297
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:31,800
going to be a one seat.
Like we and you don't even know

1298
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:33,840
if you trusted at the beginning
when it first got leaked.

1299
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:35,880
I think that wasn't that the
UConn year.

1300
01:09:36,359 --> 01:09:38,359
Yeah.
So we were A1 seat and we were

1301
01:09:38,359 --> 01:09:41,040
still mad because we had to go
to Albany to play UConn, who was

1302
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:43,439
the two?
Ridiculous, but.

1303
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:46,800
You beat them at home and then
your reward is, hey, you're a

1304
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:47,800
one.
But guess what?

1305
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:49,399
You still got to play UConn in
Albany.

1306
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:50,880
In their backyard.
Yeah.

1307
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:53,279
So we were.
We knew what was happening.

1308
01:09:53,279 --> 01:09:54,880
We were.
So the entire selection,

1309
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:58,680
everybody's already mad.
What a time.

1310
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:01,360
What a time.
But the good news is March is

1311
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,560
here.
It's going to be warm all week.

1312
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:05,440
Unfortunately, it's going to
rain, but it looks like it's

1313
01:10:05,440 --> 01:10:07,560
going to be nice in Atlanta or
Duluth, so.

1314
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:10,320
Pack of shorts.
I will.

1315
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:13,840
Maybe we'll do some karaoke
while we're down there.

1316
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:19,680
And then we can do this.
You want to karaoke that one?

1317
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:23,480
So just we're just sticking to
the gangster's paradise.

1318
01:10:24,480 --> 01:10:28,720
And if I meet some chicks down
there, get their e-mail and work

1319
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:29,960
my magic.
There you go.

1320
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,640
For the six six nail, I am the
410.

1321
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:39,160
Nick, before we get out of here,

1325
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:51,080

1326
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:54,000
great time for his fans.
We'll talk to you next week.

1327
01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:09,160
Stop it really.
It's an hour long.

1328
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:11,240
You just listen to it and look.
I don't want to.

1329
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:14,680
I'll just listen to it one time.
That's all I need.

1330
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:17,240
Oh, I just let it roll, baby.
