1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,680
Speaker 1: Where we go.

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 2: John Wilder will join us in about fifteen minutes from

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: now on the radio show. I think I don't want

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 2: to speak for anybody. I learned a long time ago

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 2: that is pointless. I have one brain, thank God, one mouth,

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 2: thank God, and there's only one person that I can

7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: speak for, and that is me. Me believes that the

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: focus of the sports fan in Seattle probably is on

9
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: what's about.

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 3: To happen tomorrow.

11
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 2: Yes, with the NBA, I mean Opening days coming Thursday

12
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: at T Mobile.

13
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 3: We're all fired up for that.

14
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: The Seahawks, by the way, tomorrow have also called a

15
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 2: press conference at noon with Jackson Smith and Jigma, John

16
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: Schneider and Mike McDonald at twelve o'clock. Our friends over

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: at Simply Seattle have cal Raley at their new U

18
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: Village store. Tomorrow afternoon. Mariners have a workout open to

19
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: the media at Team Mobile, the Guardians as well. But

20
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: all that to me is and trump to my opinion,

21
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: by what's happening in New York with the NBA owners.

22
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: They are going to apparently announce tomorrow whether or not

23
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: they are going to move forward with the bidding process

24
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: regarding expansion teams in Vegas and Seattle. And look, I mean,

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: obviously there's a chance we don't get the news we're

26
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: looking for tomorrow.

27
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 3: It's more than zero.

28
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: I feel pretty comfortable and confident Jackson saying that they

29
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 2: will announce tomorrow they're going to start taking bids on

30
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: expansion teams for Vegas and Seattle. But this weight, because

31
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: we've known about this date for a week, week and

32
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: a half, it feels like a couple of weeks. Maybe

33
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 2: I don't know the exact timeline off the top of

34
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: my head, but we've known about tomorrow for a while,

35
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: and it's starting to remind me of the weight leading.

36
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 3: Up to the Super Bowl.

37
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: We're God, the minute you beat the Rams, you're like, well,

38
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: we're going to take down the Patriots, So you kid me,

39
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: there's not a chance in hell. All the Drake made

40
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: is gonna beat us. And then Day five shows up,

41
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: and then Day ten, and now it's day eleven, and

42
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: now it's the night before the game, and the paralysis

43
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: by analysis right starts to kick in and just talk

44
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: yourself into something that you don't even really believe. Well, God,

45
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: is there a chance that maybe we get destroyed in

46
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: this game?

47
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 3: On Sunday. So I have taught.

48
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: Myself in and out of every single possibility for tomorrow,

49
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 2: and I think that there's obviously one possibility that would

50
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: be absolute disaster, and that is that, hey, we've decided

51
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: we're not going to expand, right, they come out and

52
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: say that tomorrow. Second worst possibility is they come out

53
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: and just say we're going to table this for now,

54
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 2: which is going to piss a lot of people.

55
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: Off if they say that tomorrow.

56
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: And the other possibility is obviously what we're looking for,

57
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 2: which is we're going to move forward with the expansion process,

58
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: which is what I think is going to happen tomorrow.

59
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 2: But I think all of us for is confident, as

60
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 2: excited as we are about this, reading the tea leaves

61
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: and putting two and two together all that stuff, we

62
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: all have to admit that it's not done until it's done.

63
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 4: Right.

64
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 3: We've waited eighteen years for this.

65
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 2: We can wait another couple of days, if not another

66
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: few months before they announced this officially later on this summer,

67
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: in the fall, in the winter, whatever, that they are

68
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: indeed coming home. But you and I and Dick have

69
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: had conversations on our show seemingly almost every day about

70
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: the enthusiasm level for this thing. I think that there

71
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: are some folks out there that are a bit gun

72
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: shy about tomorrow.

73
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: And I totally understand that.

74
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: I think when you have had something so emotional that

75
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: left a scar the way this thing did eighteen years ago,

76
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: it is absolutely insane to expect that everybody is going

77
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: to deal with that in the same way. Okay, I

78
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: mean there's people like my buddy Brian Robinson. There's been

79
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: people like Jamie Munston over at simply Seattle that have

80
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: been living this dream along with us every single day

81
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: for eighteen years. Then you've got the other side of it,

82
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 2: and I'll give you two names. Mike Gastoneau and Dave Grosby,

83
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 2: who I'm telling you right now were two of the

84
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: biggest Sonic fans you could find in this town. Mike Gastineau,

85
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: for those that don't know, would do this radio program,

86
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 2: the afternoon radio program, which I am now honored to

87
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 2: do in his place, and he would get off the

88
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: air and he would go right to his seats at

89
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: Key Arena or the Coliseum to watch the Sonics play.

90
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 2: After doing a radio show where he could have gone home,

91
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: he could have had dinner with his wife, he could

92
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: have pet his dog. He wanted to be in the arena,

93
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 2: and I saw him multiple times at games, pregame host,

94
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: halftime host, postgame host Dave Grosby, me Gas, traveling on

95
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: the road, going to places like Minesota, Houston, Chicago, NBA Finals.

96
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 2: Now you've got those two guys that are basically in

97
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: the wake me up when it's over crowd because they're

98
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: hurt by this.

99
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 3: Right.

100
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 2: So here's the deal for me, I don't really care

101
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 2: what your interest level is in this thing when they

102
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: come back. I don't care if you're threatened to not

103
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 2: go to a game. I don't care if you're threatened

104
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: to not give a damn. Everybody will approach this the

105
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: way they want. And if you really don't go and

106
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 2: you don't care when they return, I don't care about

107
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: that either, because I think there's going to be plenty

108
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: of support for this thing.

109
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 3: I'm not worried about that.

110
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about there not being enough support for

111
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 2: this thing when they show up. What I love about this,

112
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: and I've told you this on the year before Jackson,

113
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: is that I think this city and this fan base

114
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: deserves the option to say yes or no. They deserve

115
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: the option. We have the option right now to say

116
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 2: yes or no to a lot of things, and it's phenomenal.

117
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: And there's a lot of things going on right now

118
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 2: in this town that I couldn't give a damn about honestly. Like,

119
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 2: for example, I work with a guy every day who

120
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 2: is as big a WNBA fan.

121
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 3: As I know.

122
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,679
Speaker 2: Outside of the occasional Caitlin Clark game or a playoff game,

123
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: I couldn't give a damn about the WNBA. I'd rather

124
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: watch a fraud farting contest than watch a WNBA game.

125
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 3: But what I love about the WNBA is.

126
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: That you have the option to say yes or no,

127
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: which is what we should have. I love that some

128
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: five year old little girl has the option to go

129
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 2: watch a game and grow up dreaming about being a

130
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 2: professional basketball player. I don't care, it does nothing for me,

131
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 2: but I think that this town deserves every option that

132
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 2: you can have as a sports fan, and every option

133
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 2: that you can have when it comes to entertainment. They're

134
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 2: talking about wanting more money for better royal hall places

135
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: like that. I couldn't give a crap, to be honest

136
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: with you. But I think it's great that people have

137
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: the option whether or not to go to a show

138
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: at Better Royal Hall. You have the option to go

139
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: to a Sounder game, the option to go to a

140
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: Storm game, Husky basketball, Husky football, Husky baseball, women's basketball.

141
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 3: We should have the option.

142
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: Of doing everything that sports has to offer, including the NBA.

143
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: And that's what's pissed me off for eighteen years that

144
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: a city this big, in a market this size, has

145
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: been denied even the option of going to an NBA game,

146
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: PGA event, NASCAR event, tennis stop whatever, all that stuff,

147
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: some of which I.

148
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 3: Don't give a damn about. But it's not about me.

149
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: It's about this town having the option to do all

150
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: those cool things.

151
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: Man. So this is what tomorrow is about.

152
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: Whether you're for it, you're not for it, you care,

153
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: you don't care, Hey, you do you man, whatever you do,

154
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: you that's up to you. You decide where you spend

155
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 2: your money, you decide what makes you happy, and you

156
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: decide what you're interested in. I could care less. All

157
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: I wanted is for you to have the option to

158
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: say yes or no. And it's freaking time, is it not.

161
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: NBA game. A market this size deserves it and demands it.

Speaker 3: I'm telling you, man, if they announce.

186
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: This thing tomorrow that they're pursuing expansion for the NBA,

187
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 2: the website's going to crash. And then when they announce

188
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 2: it officially later this year that they are coming back,

189
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 2: it's going to crash again and again and again. So

190
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: I would jump on it right now and use code

191
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: KJR fifteen. Get your gear all right, Softy, Dick Jackson

192

00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: with us until three thirty before hockey, but joining us

194
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 2: right now. The Pope of the Pack, Big ten Baron

195
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 2: himself normally Tuesdays at five, but adjusting his busy schedule

196
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: because of hockey today.

197
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 3: Our friend Johnny Wilner, John, how are you man?

198
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 4: I'm good. Thanks.

199
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 6: So if the NBA comes back, is it going to

200
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 6: be are they going to have the Sonic's name.

201
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm assuming so I would be dunned if they

202
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: were not called the Sonics. I would be more stunned

203
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: John if you told me that you had eligibility left

204
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,239
Speaker 2: and you were going to play center for the Huskies

205
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: than the Seattle basketball team not coming back and being

206
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 2: called the sons.

207
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 4: Yes, And what are the Huskies have to offer me?

208
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 4: An nil?

209
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 2: What do you have anything to offer them in athletic

210
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 2: ability at all?

211
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, I do not. We may have to have

212
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 3: a conversation for them.

213
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: Do you ever see the movie Best at Times with

214
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 2: Kurt Russell and Robin Williams by the way, No, yeah,

215
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: go watch it and you'll, like, you'll probably get a

216
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 2: feeling for how you and I would perform at this

217
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 2: age in our lives. But let's talk about the Let's

218
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 2: talk about the tournament.

219
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 6: Man.

220
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 2: I mean, for the second year in a row, there's

221
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 2: no mid majors being represented, and I would I mean,

222
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 2: for me, there's not one Cinderella. I mean, Texas had

223
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: a down year and ended up as an eleven seed,

224
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 2: But I would not call Texas a Cinderella at all

225
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 2: in this in this tournament. And people think a lot

226
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: of folks don't like it. They're upset at the lack

227
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,359
Speaker 2: of upsets, the lack of Cinderella's, the lack of mid majors,

228
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: and they say it's hurting the tournament.

229
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 3: What do you say, Yeah.

230
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 4: Well, Texas certainly is not a Cinderella.

231
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 6: They have got the largest operating budget in major college athletics.

232
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 6: I mean, they have enough money to buy buy Cinderella's

233
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 6: castle if they wanted so, I.

234
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 4: Would say that it's not good for the tournament. I

235
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 4: think that.

236
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 6: In the final four, even in the Elite eight, the

237
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 6: fans want to see the blue bloods, right, we want

238
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 6: to see you know, Duke against Houston or Arizona against Michigan.

239
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 4: Fine, but in the early rounds, you want that Cinderella factor,

240
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 4: the underdog. It's the charm of the tournament.

241
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:59,359
Speaker 6: Is that the UMBC's and the Butlers and the Florida Atlantics,

242
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 6: right with a game or multiple games, and we are

243
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 6: not seeing that. And there's no indication just based on

244
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 6: the trend, right, there's no indcasion.

245
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 4: That's gonna change.

246
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 6: Right because NIL has had a twofold impact one. It

247
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 6: has allowed the big boys to keep players who used

248
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 6: to might have jumped in the you know years ago

249
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 6: might have jumped in the NBA, but now they're staying

250
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 6: because there's money to stay. And it also allows the

251
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 6: big boys to poach the mid majors and low majors.

252
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 6: The other thing is the portal, right, I mean the

253
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 6: mid majors used to have continuity on their side, and

254
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 6: now there's no continuity there either because they lose all

255
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 6: their guys.

256
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 2: Well, and the question becomes and I saw it, John,

257
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: I saw Tommy Lloyd at Arizona, who I was talking

258
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: to my wife Gina about this the other day. How

259
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: just unbelievable the genius move it was by Tommy Lloyd

260
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: to wait for that job to open up, right, I mean,

261
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: long time Zag's assistant, you know, could have maybe gone

262
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 2: to a Utah State or Montana State, but nob I'm

263
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 2: gonna wait until there's already a bake day chance at

264
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 2: success and take that gig. And now he's kicking ass

265
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 2: at Arizona. So good for him. But he made some

266
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 2: comment that, you know, some of the mid major success

267
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: may be in peril, and you could feel him directly

268
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 2: talking about Gonzaga right that his former team, the run

269
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 2: of Sweet sixteens, the run of Final fours, playing for

270
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: the national championship. If this is really about money for

271
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: a school that spends three four million bucks a year,

272
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: that the Gonzaga run as we've known it for the

273
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: last twenty five years may be coming to an end.

274
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 3: Do you buy that.

275
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 6: I do not buy that with Gonzaga specifically.

276
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 4: I do think Lloyd is spot.

277
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 6: On with mid majors in general, whether it is you know,

278
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 6: a Saint Mary's for instance, those schools I think are

279
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 6: in peril in terms of the tournament.

280
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 4: But I don't.

281
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 6: I don't look at Gonzaga as a mid major. Everything

282
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 6: about them speaks high major. Their recruiting budget, their NBA

283
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 6: a pipeline, their success against the other high majors. I mean,

284
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 6: the Gonzaga situation this year, I don't know is applicable

285
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 6: because they lost Braydon Huff in mid January.

286
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 4: What a broken kneecap.

287
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 6: In practice, if you look at what Gonzaga did when

288
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 6: they had him and they had their full lineup.

289
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 4: They blasted teams from the SEC.

290
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 6: They you know, they beat Kentucky badly, they beat Alabama.

291
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 6: They were a different team without him, And so I

292
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 6: don't want to say, you know what happened to them,

293
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 6: in the tournament is indicative of what's going to happen,

294
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 6: because if they had had their their starting core intact,

295
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 6: they'd still be playing.

296
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 3: In my opinion, Yeah, no, that's fair.

297
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 2: I mean to say that it's too early to write

298
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: their obituary.

299
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 3: I think that's fair.

300
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: Every year that goes by without them making a run

301
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 2: in the tournament, you know, more and more people will

302
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: think that.

303
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: So we'll see.

304
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: But John Wilders with us and John, you know, speaking

305
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 2: of labels that college basketball programs get, you know, people

306
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 2: still like to talk about uc is a blue blood

307
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 2: by the way, and I saw a stat or a

308
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 2: factoid if you will, the other day that UCLA has

309
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: got one championship since John Wooden died, and that was

310
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety five in Seattle. The last time they

311
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 2: won a championship with a guy not named John Wooden

312
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: was Jim Herrick. I was one when John Wooden won

313
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: his last title. Do we really still believe that UCLA

314
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: should be considered a blue blood when they've won one

315
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: title in fifty years?

316
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 6: The blue blood definition is always malleable.

317
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 3: Right.

318
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 6: Let me ask you this. Let me ask you do

319
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 6: you consider Nebraska football.

320
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 4: A blue blood program?

321
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 6: Not anymore because their last title was nineteen ninety five, correct, Tommy.

322
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: Frazer, that's right, with Osborne? Howberty tackles? Can Tommy Frank

323
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 2: one man break? Remember that? Totally agree with you. Yes,

324
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: I mean, growing up, Nebraska was a blue blood. UCLA

325
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: basketball was a blue blood. UNLV basketball was a blue blood.

326
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: But John, I'm fifty two years old, man, I mean,

327
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 2: time's change, they do.

328
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 4: I would consider UCLA like a light blue blood. That's

329
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 4: kind of how I view that, you know.

330
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 6: But then the opposite of UCLA is Yukon, which has

331
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 6: won six titles in the last basically quarter century, but

332
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 6: one nothing before that across you know, seventy five years.

333
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 3: So it's tough.

334
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 4: There's really only four.

335
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 6: Or five true blue bloods in college basketball that have

336
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 6: been good decade after decade, right, I mean, Kansas, Kentucky,

337
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 6: North Carolina, probably Duke, and maybe Indiana, but they're they're

338
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 6: kind of like UCLA in a lot of ways. Indiana's

339
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 6: last title would have been what like a ninety three

340
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 6: ish R ninety two ninety three, so I don't know,

341
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 6: but you have the same discussion could be had in

342
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 6: football as well.

343
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 3: College football, John Waters with us on the radio show.

344
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 2: And by the way, Indiana his last basketball championship I

345
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: believe was in eighty seven with Bob Knight and Steve

346
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 2: Alford in New Orleans over Syracuse. So yeah, we're talking.

347
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: We're talking forty years ago. Man, that it's been since

348
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 2: Indiana won a title. But I saw your tweet about

349
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 2: Rick Patino and I totally agree. You know, it's funny

350
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 2: how recency bias now is starting to kick in a

351
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: little bit and people talking about Patino is the goat,

352
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 2: And then I thought to myself, well, wait a minute.

353
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: He had a bunch of wins vacated, which eventually I

354
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 2: think he was exonerated of any recruiting violations, but those

355
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 2: wins were never put back if he never had those

356
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 2: wins vacated, and he's kind of maybe pushing Coach k

357
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: a little bit here. For a guy that wins everywhere

358
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 2: he goes and is doing it again at Saint John's,

359
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 2: should we be talking about Rick Patino is the greatest

360
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 2: of all time?

361
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 3: I mean, I think he is.

362
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 6: You could certainly make the case that Wooden should be

363
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 6: number one because of all the titles or Skrzyzewski, right,

364
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 6: but Patino took Providence to the Final four in nineteen

365
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 6: eighty seven. He won a national championship with Kentucky in

366
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 6: ninety six, and that probably ninety six Kentucky is the

367
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 6: probably the best team of my lifetime. He won a

368
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 6: national championship with Louisville in twenty thirteen fourteen. He's taken

369
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 6: I think six different teams to the tournament. He's been

370
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 6: to the Final four with at least three and maybe four.

371
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 6: If you got one game to win and any coach

372
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 6: in the history of the game to win it, I

373
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 6: would probably pick Patino.

374
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 3: Who are you rooting for Mick cronin versus Danny Hurley?

375
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 3: I mean, it's kind of like rooting for Darth Vader

376
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 3: versus Darth Maul. You got to pick one, But who

377
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 3: did you find yourself rooting for in that game?

378
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 6: I was rooting for technical fouls and I got one

379
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 6: for Mick as it was terribly timed cost his team.

380
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 6: And I don't know if you've noticed, but the UCLA

381
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 6: fans are starting to get a little bit tired of Mick.

382
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 4: Act right, He's paid.

383
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 6: Well five or six million a year to coach basketball Royalty,

384
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 6: and he complains left and right, he treats the press.

385
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 6: I mean outrageous at exchange with that reporter a few

386
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 6: weeks ago, it was just terrible.

387
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 4: He just reflects poorly on UCLA a lot, and he

388
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 4: is not winning.

389
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 6: They haven't been to the Sweet sixteen in three years,

390
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 6: and I think that the next year is going to

391
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 6: be a big one for me.

392
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you'll get this reference here.

393
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: I think he's kind of a Putts is what he is,

394
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, because number one, he's a whiner,

395
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 2: and then number two, he's not even consistent with his whining.

396
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 2: This is a guy and I saw your tweeted about

397
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 2: this too that you know, a couple of months ago

398
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: he's complaining about how many times he seen all these

399
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 2: national landmarks. And then a couple of days ago, when

400
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 2: it turns out that UCLA's women's team had no problem

401
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 2: with the travel, he's like, oh, it wasn't about the travel,

402
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 2: it's about the team.

403
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 3: I was like, you made it about the travel, Mick,

404
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 3: what are you talking about?

405
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, Puts is a you know, that's a pretty good

406
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 6: description for sure, you know, and he's he's right that

407
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 6: the travel is hard for the four West Coast teams

408
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 6: in the bars. Of course, it is hard going east

409
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 6: and it's hard coming back west. But he shouldn't be

410
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 6: complaining about it. He should be complaining to his ad

411
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 6: and his chancellor.

412
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 4: Right, And it's just the whole thing.

413
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 6: Everything is just a bad look for a tremendous university

414
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 6: and a great basketball program. I just don't think he

415
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 6: represents UCLA basketball very well. It'd be one thing if

416
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 6: he's winning, if he's going to the Final four or

417
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 6: lead eight, but he's not.

418
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 3: Well just I mean you mentioned Indiana.

419
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: How much did people put up with but with Bob

420
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 2: Knight because he was winning basketball games?

421
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 3: Right?

422
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: I mean people will people will swallow a lot, you know,

423
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 2: if you're if you're winning games. But John Waters with

424
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 2: us Randy Bennett, Right, the question has finally been answered.

425
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 2: What will it take Randy Bennett to leave Saint Mary's?

426
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 2: And now we know he's taken off for Arizona State.

427
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 2: He's had plenty of jobs that he could have left

428
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 2: for over the years, you know that, including I think

429
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 2: multiple shots at Washington which he turned down, and now

430
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 2: he's leaving for Tempe.

431
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 3: Is this the right time and the right job?

432
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 4: I think it is.

433
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 6: First, I think Randy Bennett is an absolutely phenomenal basketball coach.

434
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 6: I mean, Saint Mary's has no business being in the

435
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 6: n Sway Tournament on a regular basis, So it's a.

436
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 4: Great hire for issue. I think that part.

437
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 6: Of the reason he's leaving is because Gonzag is leaving

438
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 6: the WCC.

439
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 4: So what is the WCC without Kozaka.

440
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 6: He's losing his main rival, He's losing a bunch of

441
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 6: high caliber games that would help Saint Mary's net ranking.

442
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 6: It's gonna be a depleted conference without the Zags. And

443
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 6: now Bennett is leaving, and that's another you know, gut

444
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 6: punch to the West Coast Conference, which they are actually

445
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 6: believe it or not, the WCC is gonna rely pretty

446
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 6: heavily on Seattle to help with a revival because Seattle's

447
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 6: got a lot of potent and they there's now this

448
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 6: void at the top, and I think that a lot

449
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 6: of folks are going to look look to Seattle to

450
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 6: possibly fill it.

451
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we live in a world, John, before you go,

452
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: I got two more for you, John Wilner with us

453
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 2: courtesy is simply Seattle dot com. We live in a

454
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 2: world where either Iowa or Nebraska is going to play

455
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 2: in the Elite eight with a chance to go to

456
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 2: the Final four.

457
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 3: Which one will it be? Two Big ten teams?

458
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 6: Well, you know, Nebraska had never won an NCAA tournament.

459
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 4: Game right this year?

460
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 3: Right? Yeah?

461
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 4: Crazy Nebraska.

462
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're a basketball school in Indiana's a football school.

463
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 6: I think that first of all, the Nebraska Vanderbilt game,

464
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 6: if anybody saw it was just a phenomenal game. I

465
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 6: will pick Nebraska. I think that they're better than Iowa.

466
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 4: They are.

467
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 6: Fred Hoiberg's a really good coach. I always got a

468
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 6: great coach too, But I kind of like Nebraska. And

469
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 6: it doesn't really matter because whichever one of those teams

470
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 6: wins is going to get chewed up by Houston.

471
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

472
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 2: Well you got three Big ten teams in that region.

473
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 2: I went Nebraska, Illinois, and obviously Houston. So I think

474
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: it'd be fun as hell to see Nebraska in the

475
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 2: final four. You think ticket prices are expensive now in Indianapolis,

476
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 2: wait until Nebraska finds a way to make the Final four.

477
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: Good luck, you're not getting in for under a billion dollars.

478
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 2: By the way, John, before you go this is I'm

479
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 2: gonna put on the spot for a second. It's unfair

480
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 2: I apologize in advance. Any idea, what's happening Monday at

481
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 2: eleven thirty, Monday, eleven thirty here in Seattle, Monday, eleven

482
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 2: thirty here.

483
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 3: In Seattle, Any idea, the idea eleven thirty.

484
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 4: Husky's opening spring practice.

485
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 2: You got it almost directly. It's the kickoff luncheon at

486
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 2: UDUB for spring ball.

487
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 3: Kicking off.

488
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 2: I mean, we are here, man, we are six days

489
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 2: away from going to hang out with Jed Fish and

490
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 2: the assistant coaches and talk some spring football to demand

491
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 2: Williams thing is obviously going to be a story for

492
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: a lot of people. The running back situation with Adam

493
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: Muhammad taking for California Jodick Coleman of the NFL is

494
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 2: going to be a big story. But what is maybe

495
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 2: the number one, number two thing that if you were

496
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 2: sitting here in my chair, Dick's chair, what would you

497
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: be keeping an eye on locally?

498
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 3: For you? Dumb?

499
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 4: Well, So let me I got two things.

500
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

501
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,959
Speaker 6: One is the offensive line, which I think is a

502
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 6: bit that's gonna be.

503
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 4: It could be.

504
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 6: The best line that Fish has had. I think that

505
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 6: they certainly have the potential. The other is williams now

506
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 6: If I am not mistaken.

507
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 4: You were not in Seattle when Demon had.

508
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 6: His news conference the Super Bowl, That's right, and there

509
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 6: was probably some other Seattle media in the same position.

510
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 6: So this will be your first chance to ask some

511
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 6: pointed questions about the vibe why you did what you did,

512
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 6: And that is what I'm.

513
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 4: Gonna be curious about.

514
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 6: They can say everybody in the locker room has taken

515
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 6: him back, but until there's like, you know, third death,

516
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 6: third quarter, you're down ten on the road and you

517
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 6: need you need your quarterback to lead, I'm not gonna

518
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 6: I'm gonna be a little skeptical about what's going on there.

519
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 3: Huh.

520
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 2: Interesting, Well, I would just I would just add one

521
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 2: more that you're right about the offensive line. Because they

522
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 2: got the Hatchet Brothers back, they got Asid Party back,

523
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: and they got John Mills back at left guard.

524
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 3: They're gonna start.

525
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 4: They got Green coming in right, but.

526
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 3: He's eighteen years old.

527
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 2: I mean that's a little bit of a concern for

528
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 2: me that in a typical world you're not starting a

529
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 2: pure freshman at left tackle, but you're doing it because

530
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: you have to. Right in the nil world, you can't

531
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: let the guy sit for two years he'll he'll take off.

532
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 2: I mean, how big of a kind of potential problem

533
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 2: is that that they got an eighteen year.

534
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 3: Old kid who I'm not.

535
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 2: Look, he may be phenomenal, he may be phenomenal now,

536
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 2: you may be phenomenal in two years from now, but

537
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 2: he's gonna be eighteen. Is that even remotely problematic for you?

538
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 6: Well, it's probably problematic against Oregon Ohio State and you know,

539
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 6: the top top tier of the conference.

540
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: Right.

541
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 6: The fact that their early schedule is not super tough

542
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 6: probably will help him ease into it.

543
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 3: Yep, yep.

544
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 6: But yeah, that's certainly that's like, if that's your one

545
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 6: week spot you've got, you certainly have a problem because

546
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 6: that's the most important position.

547
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, well they can protect them, obviously, but you're right

548
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 2: about the schedule, CSU. You see Davis By and the

549
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 2: Koogs before the Buckeyes come here on September twenty seventh, man,

550
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's or against Ohio State on September twenty seventh,

551
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 2: So that might be his first real trial by fire.

552
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: All right, did great stuff. Enjoy the tournament and we'll

553
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 2: talk in a week man, Thanks very much. All right,

554
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 2: Bud John Wilner with US again, whatever you're looking for,

555
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 2: simply Seattle dot com KJR fifteen for fifteen percent off

556
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 2: anything including supersonic gear. As we are just awaiting this

557
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 2: big announcement tomorrow from the NBA, will they or will

558
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 2: they not start taking bids on expansion teams in Vegas

559
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 2: and Seattle. We'll obviously find out more tomorrow. By the way,

560
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 2: I totally messed up the Husky football schedule. It's Minnesota

561
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 2: in Week four. They don't play the Buckeyes this year.

562
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I was looking at the wrong Skeedu. Yeah

563
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: that's great. I mean, if you're Cody Green, you dub

564
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 2: plays Wazoo in the opener. Yeah, I was looking at

565
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,479
Speaker 2: some I have you know what, asked me what I

566
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 2: was looking at? Just ask me, ask me what were

567
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 2: you looking at? I don't have any idea Wazoo Week one,

568
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 2: Utah State, Eastern Minnesota Week four, then USC then Iowa,

569
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 2: then Perdue, then Nebraska.

570
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 3: So he's exactly right.

571
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 2: This is a if you're going to pick a year

572
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 2: to start an eighteen year old kid at left tackle

573
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 2: with the schedule that maybe eases him in, this is

574
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 2: the year to do it. We're gonna break fun with audio,

575

Speaker 2: I don't know what people's thoughts are on this stuff.

Speaker 3: It's twenty twenty six.

609
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 2: You know, if we tried to bring back the Bigger Dance,

610
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 2: we'd be barbecued on this radio station. You're gonna go

611
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 2: if we ever did a bracket in the summer of

612
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,360

Speaker 2: up for a number one seed. Unbelievable with this guy.

616
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 3: She's a model.

617
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, well she's smoking hot and I have no problem

618
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 2: saying that whatsoever. Okay, fine, how many people now because

619
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:46,880

Speaker 3: Walk us through.

652
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 2: First of all, I think it's a genius move by him,

653
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 2: absolute genius move by him, not that he hasn't done

654
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: that once already. I got no idea. I'm not following

655
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 2: Pill Martelly Junior at VCU. But the more you compliment

656
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 2: the media, the more you try and become their buddy,

657
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 2: the less they're going to bust your balls when things

658
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 2: go south. It's just human nature. I mean, every now

659
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 2: and then there's going to be a Trent krim Right

660
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,239
Speaker 2: who doesn't give a damn okay, that'll happen every now

661
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 2: and then. But Mike Hombren, Lorenzo Romar, kailin de boor

662
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 2: calling media members out by their first name. Guys, Lorenzo

663
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 2: Romar didn't win squat in his last five years in Seattle.

664
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 2: Everybody left him alone because he was a good dude,

665
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 2: good guy. People like them Okay, there's still a very

666
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 2: much human element when it comes to media when they

667
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 2: cover coaches and sports. Maybe it shouldn't be that way,

668
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 2: but human nature says that it is so for this

669
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 2: guy to be basically growing a couple of buddies in

670
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 2: the media while they're in college as a freaking genius, also.

671
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 7: Knowing that these kids will become paid reporters, probably at

672
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 7: the local school where local pay per excuse me, and

673
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 7: then also knowing more than just their name, knowing the

00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 7: details of like, yeah, you missed for Valentine's Day, Yeah,

675
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,560

676
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 7: the more you connect, the more you know those details.

677
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 7: These kids, these three student reporters that you called out right,

678
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 7: they are forever going to treat Martelli with enormous just respectation.

679
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:42,960

00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 6: You know.

722
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: Obviously I let my team down, you know, getting that

723
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: that last sec. But honestly, I wasn't trying to, you know,

724
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: he said at Fritto of my whole family, and at

725
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: some point, you know, it's his basketball Cory. At some point,

726
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: I just can't stand. I got to stand up for myself,

727
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: but I know I got to do better. My teammatesenter

728
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: they have my bag, so I'll let them down today.

729
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 3: Well the rest of their language. I gotta tell you, man,

730
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:21,919
Speaker 3: I've said it before.

731
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 2: I'll say it again, I don't think anybody will ever

732
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 2: do it because nobody has the balls to do it.

733
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 3: We need to hear these conversations.

734
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 2: We need to be able to buy access to a

735
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 2: miked up segment that costs US one hundred dollars a year,

736
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 2: or we can either a watch the game live and

737
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 2: hear this stuff live, or go back and hear it

738
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 2: after the game is over. Maybe they want to do

739
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 2: that so they can edit some stuff out that maybe

740
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,479
Speaker 2: the players don't necessarily want out there, but it would

741
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 2: make a zillion dollars a day. These conversations between umpires

742
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 2: and managers, managers and pitchers, first basement and runners in

743
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 2: a baseball game, conversations that happen on the free throw line,

744
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 2: on the on the block. People would pay for this stuff.

745
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 2: They would absolutely pay for it. There is a mountain

746
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 2: of money I'm telling you, not just in pro sports,

747
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 2: but in college sports looking for new angles to make money.

748
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 3: This is one of them.

749
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 2: Start giving us the access to this stuff that we

750
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 2: can hear these conversations that we never get access to,

751
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 2: and people will fork over money. It'll be like field

752
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 2: of dreams. They'll be handing over money and not even

753
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 2: know why they're doing it.

754
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 3: Softie, I love the Wolf of wall Street. You love

755
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 3: the Wolf of Wall Street.

756
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 7: I am not going to watch the Wolf of wall

757
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 7: Street on TNT TVs when they've bleeped out everything right.

758
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 7: I will pay the five dollars to get the full

759
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 7: on Wolf of wall Street experience, and ultimately, I think

760
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 7: sports need to follow suits. Let people pay money extra

761
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 7: to get the full on experience of sports.

762
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 3: Give us what we want.

763
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 2: I'm believing we're gonna break
