1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:00,480
Speaker 1: Hello.

2
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 2: This week, the Bengals and Dolphins meet up in Miami

3
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 2: for a South Beach showdown. Speaking of the beach, my

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: swimsuit of choice is a speedo European style. I don't

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: like those escape calves. The Bengals stool, the Dolphins get

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: the call live from Dan Lloyd and Dave Lapham. The

7
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: game kicks up a won VM with covered starting at

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,720

00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: of the Cincinnati Bengals.

11
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 3: Here we go The Moulagger Show, hosted by not Mowagger

12
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: Chad Brenda filling in on a gloomy, chilly Thursday here

13
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 3: in the Queen City. Thank you as as always for

14
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: choosing me. I'll be here all afternoon. Tarren Bland on

15
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 3: the ones and two's Tarran and I both uh full full,

16
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 3: thanks as well. Once it's been a while, Tarran, Thanks

17
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: to our our folks at J and W Sandwich Shopping.

18
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 4: Never disappoint never ever ever disciplined. I couldn't. I couldn't

19
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 4: hardly eat it.

20
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're a little bit more full than I am today.

21
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 6: I mean it was huge. I had disciplined today.

22
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: You did have discipline. You only ate half. That's the

23
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 3: thing about you know those double deckers. Once you start

24
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: the second half, like you got to eat it. You

25
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 3: can't just take a couple of bites out of the

26
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 3: second half and save that for later. You either eat

27
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: half and save half, or you eat the whole thing.

28
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 3: You went half seas today. I was pretty hungry. I

29
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 3: conquered the whole thing, feeling pretty good. But I also

30
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 3: feel like I could stretch out across this desk right

31
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 3: here and take a nap. That's all right. The good

32
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 3: news is things should be pretty lively today. A lot

33
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: to get to as winners go first, right, that's the

34
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 3: motto of this radio station.

35
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 4: Winners go first, Aran Winners Go First.

36
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Bearcats with a win last night, albeit over a

37
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 3: by game opponent in Alabama State. But let's be honest,

38
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: Cincinnati hasn't exactly wowed in their by game opportunities this year.

39
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 3: They get this one eighty eight to fifty one, and

40
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 3: more importantly, the big news from last night, Gisel James

41
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 3: returns to the lineup for Cincinnati. Say what you will

42
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 3: about that situation. There's a lot, there's a lot to unpack.

43
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: There's a lot to discuss and dissect from everything that

44
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: happened this summer, to Gigsel James being removed from the program,

45
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: to Gisel James all of a sudden popping back up

46
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 3: around the program and then the path back onto the

47
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 3: floor last night. Was it handled right? Was it handled poorly?

48
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 3: There's a lot of opinions. I think most of those

49
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: opinions have validity to them on both sides of the conversation.

50
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: But it was really good to see Gisel James back

51
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: out there, smiling, having a good time with his teammates,

52
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: playing well, helping his team to a victory, a team

53
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: that going into the game was six and four. The

54
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: vibes weren't good around since Sinnati basketball leading up to

55
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: the game. They jump out to a fifty to twenty

56
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: five halftime lead, they cruised to an eighty eight to

57
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 3: fifty one victory. Anyway you slice it, I was happy

58
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 3: for Gisel James. Not only did he play well, but

59
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 3: it looked like there was normalcy return to his life.

60
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 3: He was having a good time on the bench with

61
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: Buck Harris and Dane Thomas. And if you followed this

62
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 3: situation closely, you know, there was a little bit of

63
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: bad blood between Gizsel and Buck Harris at the end

64
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: of at the end of the summer, there was it

65
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 3: was fair to question how would that go between those

66
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 3: two guys, and at least for one night, at least

67
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 3: for the return and at least for the that he

68
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: got when he checked into the game, the ovation he

69
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 3: got when things went well for him. It was definitely

70
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 3: a feel good story, and there have not been a

71
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 3: lot of those of late around the city. So it

72
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: was good to see Jisel back out there. It was

73
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 3: good to see him play well, and it was good

74
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 3: to see that smile on his face. And look, a

75
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: lot of what he went through is self inflicted. It

76
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 3: was a problem of his own doing. But that doesn't

77
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: mean you can't work your way through it and come

78
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 3: out on the other side of it. And hopefully last

79
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: night was a step in that direction. So we will

80
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 3: get to that today. A tough one for Xavior Boy

81
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 3: ninety eight to fifty seven forty one points, the biggest

82
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 3: loss in Sentas Center history. It's a burn the tape

83
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: deal in all honesty, and I know that's kind of

84
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: a corny, outdated term for when nothing really goes your way,

85
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 3: but nothing went Xavier's way.

86
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 7: Last night.

87
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 3: Creighton shot it really well, Xavier didn't. Xavier uncharacteristically turned

88
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 3: over the ball quite a bit. Creighton took advantage of it.

89
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: But for me, at least, the solace I'll take in

90
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 3: that is that if you look back to the start

91
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 3: of the season, that was a pretty rough start out

92
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: of the gate for Xavier, and Richard Patino was able

93
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: to course correct and get this thing back on track.

94
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: And I don't think I'm saying anything. I know Xavier

95
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: fans don't really want to hear from me about Xavier,

96
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 3: but they give me this microphone and I got to

97
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: talk about it. Sometimes I'll try not to insult your

98
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 3: intelligence and have fun at your expense while I do that.

99
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 3: Richard Patino has shown the ability to kind of navigate

100
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 3: the the the bad times.

101
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 4: So far. The Big East is gonna be tough. It's

102
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 4: a high major league.

103
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: Xavier is not going to really at many points this

104
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: year be the more talented team on the floor in

105
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: Big East games, but that doesn't mean they can't play

106
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 3: well and win some games in the league. Are they

107
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 3: gonna contend with with Yukon and Seaton Hall. No, probably not,

108
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: And I'm not breaking any news any ground by saying that.

109
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,119
Speaker 3: I just think last night was one of those Maybe

110
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:02,679
Speaker 3: they were a little uh riding the wave of playing

111
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 3: much much, much better basketball than they did at the

112
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 3: beginning of the season. They got a big win in

113
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 3: the Crosstown shootout, they protected home court, they extended the

114
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 3: street at sentas in the shootout. Maybe sometimes you got

115
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 3: to be brought back down a little bit to get

116
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: back up and to get back to a team that

117
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 3: was ultimately playing above their talent level. They were playing well,

118
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 3: and last night it didn't go well. But I don't

119
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 3: think that is an automatic sign that things aren't going

120
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 3: to go well the rest of the way, because I

121
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 3: think Patino will be able to navigate some of it.

122
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 3: Do I think he's going to be able to navigate

123
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 3: climbing to the top of the mountain. No, But from

124
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 3: what I've seen of the Big East, there's some wins

125
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: in there for Xavier. This is a team that can

126
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 3: finish middle of the pack in the league, which I

127
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: think would be a very promising year one considering you

128
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 3: had to start over. So yeah, it's okay to be frustrated.

129
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 3: It's a big one Saturday traveling to Georgetown. Georgetown at

130
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: times has looked like they might be getting things back

131
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 3: on track this year. At times they haven't looked very good.

132
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 3: So it'll be interesting to see how Xavier responds from

133
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 3: this loss and can they put it behind them quickly

134
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 3: or does it linger? And you just you don't want

135
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 3: to start zero to two in the league knowing you're

136
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: gonna be in a fight to get up to that

137
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 3: middle of the conference. So that's the big thing for

138
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: me is what does Saturday night look like in Washington, DC?

139
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 3: And then we're gonna get to a lot of Bengals

140
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 3: today and get to a lot of angles today, and

141
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: including first and foremost for me, everybody thinks they know

142
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: what's going on in Joe Burrow's mind.

143
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 4: Everybody thinks they know.

144
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow is leaning towards that Carson Palmer exit, that

145
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 3: frustration with the front office, that feeling that they're not

146
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 3: going to be able to get it done here. And

147
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: while that's fair. While I think it's fair to say

148
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 3: Joe is wondering what this path to success looks like

149
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 3: in Cincinnati, I also think it's fair to wonder, and

150
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 3: I think we all agree. Joe Burrow's pretty smart guy, right,

151
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: pretty smart guy. How much of this do you think

152
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 3: is potentially Joe Burrow wondering about the things that he

153
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 3: has had a say in for this organization and is

154
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 3: it best to maybe leave some of that stuff on

155
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 3: the side. Joe Burrow's gotten everything he's wanted from the

156
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Bengals, especially since he got the new contract. So

157
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 3: since playing in the AFC Championship Game, Joe Burrow's gotten

158
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 3: a lot of what he's wanted. He gets the type

159
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 3: of offense that he wants to play, which, as we

160
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,119
Speaker 3: saw in twenty twenty four, it can be wildly effective,

161
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 3: but also does things like limits the running game a

162
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 3: little bit, does things like opens Joe Burrow up to

163
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 3: more hits, being more susceptible to more physical punishment, which

164
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 3: in turn puts Joe Burrow on injured reserve, puts the

165
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 3: Bengals in a tough place to win because so much

166
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: is invested in Joe Burrow leading them to victory. I

167
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 3: think we would also all agree T Higgins was on

168
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 3: his way out the door in this franchise until what

169
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 3: until Joe Burrow said I need T Higgins. I think

170
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 3: they were always going to extend Jamar Chase, but Joe

171
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 3: Burrow was at the front of the line.

172
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 6: There.

173
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 3: Need Jamar need t need, Trey Hendrickson, need Mike Kiseki

174
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 3: need my style of play, need to play offense the

175
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 3: way I want to play. Need to sign the guys

176
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 3: I want to sign. They've now missed the playoffs three

177
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 3: years in a row, and in two of those years

178
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow had significant injuries. So how much of this

179
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 3: mindset that we've seen Joe Burrow fighting through through these

180
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 3: past couple of weeks is Joe Burrow wondering internally, maybe

181
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 3: front office isn't my spot. Maybe my spot's playing quarterback.

182
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 3: I'm really good at that, really good at that. And

183
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: that's not to say the things that he wanted are bad,

184
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 3: or the things that he wanted or wrong. But you

185
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 3: wonder a guy that's had that much time to reflect,

186
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 3: a guy that's had that much time as he was

187
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: rehabbing from the injury to think about things, doing a

188
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 3: little self reflection, doing a little self scouting. He's asked

189
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 3: for a lot, He's gotten it. You know what he's

190
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 3: also gotten he's also gotten a very young defense because

191
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 3: they haven't been in a position to pay a lot

192
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 3: of money on the defensive side of the ball because

193
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 3: the money's tied up where Joe wants it to be

194
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 3: tied up. How much of those injuries So you look

195
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 3: at and say, maybe maybe we this way, that we're

196
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 3: playing a little bit, taking less hits, getting less pressure,

197
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 3: running for my life a lot less. Maybe I need

198
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 3: to listen to the people that design offense and not

199
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 3: just say this is how I want to play. I'm

200
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: not saying that's absolving of anything else that he might

201
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 3: possibly be talking about. I am saying, maybe there is

202
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 3: some of that internal conversation that says, hey, some of

203
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: this is on me, and it's not on me because

204
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 3: of my play is a core back. But I'm getting

205
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 3: everything I want and I'm not getting the results that

206
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 3: I thought that would uh developed.

207
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 4: So we'll get to that much much more.

208
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 3: Phone lines are open five one, three, seven, four, nine,

209
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: fifteen thirty, Lee Sterling at three point thirty, Kegan Nicholson

210
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 3: at four forty five, Jay Morrison at five point twenty.

211
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 3: Other than that, me and you just take a break

212
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: more after this the Moagger Show.

213
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 4: Since that he's ESPN fifteen.

214
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 8: Thirty Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty.

215
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 9: Traffic in Ohio still got that crash on westbound two

216
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 9: seventy five at seventy five. It is off onto the

217
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 9: right shoulder. It's another accident and injury crash on Victory

218
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 9: Parkway at Dana Avenue and on col Raine. One more

219
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 9: accident at West Fork on at Eazelic with traffic this.

220
00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 10: Reason of the sun.

221
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 4: Because what'd you think of this?

222
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 6: Tarren?

223
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 7: Yeah?

224
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 4: The album of the album, Yeah.

225
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 7: Solid, they got it.

226
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 5: I got in my top album favorite.

227
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 4: That was really good.

228
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 3: Beats are good, features are good, just a just a solid,

229
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 3: solid overall showing from uh from one of my all

230
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 3: time favorites.

231
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 5: I'm a lot better than than the kids these days.

232
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 3: The kids these day, much like that twenty twenty five

233
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 3: brought us the the the the old heads brought some

234
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 3: heat in twenty twenty five for sure, Hopefully the kids

235
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 3: learn something about quantity, about quality. Quality Winners go first,

236
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 3: Cincinnati with a with a nice eighty eight to fifty

237
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 3: one over Alabama State last night, Big Night from Babon Miller.

238
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 3: Eleven of twelve from the floor, eight dunks. That's efficient,

239
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 3: eight of eight on dunks, fourteen rebounds, twenty six points

240
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 3: more importantly, plus thirty seven when he was on the floor.

241
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 3: More of that from bobon Miller. I'll take eight dunks

242
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 3: as many times as possible from bobon Miller. So a

243
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 3: good showing for him, A good showing for Gisel James,

244
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 3: who came in off the bench six of nine from

245
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 3: the floor, three of five from three, hit his only

246
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 3: free throw, four rebounds, two assists, only one turnover excuse me,

247
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 3: two turnovers, one steal, plus sixteen in his twenty minutes

248
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 3: of action. Probably I think think the plan was probably

249
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 3: a little less for Gizzle in terms of minutes, but

250
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 3: Buck Harris only played three minutes. Looked like his back

251
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 3: was acting up, and so that opened the door for

252
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 3: a little bit more run for Gisel James. But all

253
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 3: in all, I don't think you could have asked for

254
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 3: anything more in Gizzle's return. Kudos to the fans that

255
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 3: were in attendance for giving gizzl a big ovation last

256
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 3: night when he checked into the game. I don't know

257
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 3: what this looks like going forward. I'm just gonna be honest.

258
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 3: It's not like he's been playing basketball much from the

259
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 3: end of July. All the way through until the start

260
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 3: of November. He had much more important things to take

261
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 3: care of. The plan initially was was not for Gisel

262
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 3: James to play this year this season. Times change again.

263
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 3: There are some things about that decision I don't always

264
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 3: necessarily agree with. That's okay, but this is a team

265
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 3: that was six and four, and it was a team

266
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 3: that was spinning its wheels, and it was a team

267
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 3: that could not put consistent production and effort together over

268
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 3: forty minute games, and it had them in a bad

269
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 3: spot with Big twelve play looming. So last night you

270
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 3: get Jigsel back, he looks good. You look much more efficient,

271
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 3: much more crisp. But the reality is we're going to

272
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 3: find out a lot more about that Sunday when Cincinnati

273
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 3: takes on Clemson. Clemson's really good Top twenty five and

274
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 3: Ken Palm. They play solid defense, They're a little bit

275
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 3: more of a slow, methodical style on both ends of

276
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 3: the floor. Not going to be easy because that's a

277
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 3: team that it's playing really well right now. If Cincinnati

278
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 3: is going to get this thing back on track, we'll

279
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 3: probably have a much better answer Sunday at four o'clock.

280
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 3: If it's another loss, you're sitting at seven and five

281
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 3: in the non conference with Lipscomb on deck, who's a

282
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 3: really really solid mid major. And then you get Houston

283
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 3: on January third. We're not having great UC conversations next week,

284
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 3: but for now, for last night, for today, until Sunday

285
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 3: at two o'clock, can feel good about a win, a

286
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 3: win where they look good, a win where they got

287
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 3: their leading scorer from a year ago back and they

288
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 3: had a good story to go with it in the process.

289
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 3: Let's take a break. Lee Sterling up right after this.

00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 7: and got my birthday in between December twenty ninth, So

314
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 7: I'm gonna be doing a lot of a lot of

315
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 7: time with family, friends, doing a lot of eating and Nita,

316
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 7: I say more, a lot.

317
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 4: Of betting, a lot of betting.

318
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 3: One of those. It's a while from now. I'm not

319
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 3: gonna get to talk to you. I don't think between

320
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 3: now and then, So I'm gonna we're gonna go ahead

321
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 3: and talk about it now. Navy minus six and a

322
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: half against Cincinnati on the second second, Yeah, second at

323
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 3: the Liberty Bowl in Memphis.

324
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 4: Since that, he's opened as a favorite.

325
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 7: Here.

326
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 3: There's one thing that you don't want to see in

327
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 3: ball seasonally, and that's your team in transition with the

328
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 3: transfer portal and everything going up against a service academy,

329
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 3: especially one as good as Navy. This year, the line

330
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 3: has moved drastically. Some of that Brendan sorosby entering the portal,

331
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 3: But boy, this is going to be a tough one

332
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 3: for the Bearcats.

333
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 7: It is, and on top of that, without scarsby your

334
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 7: defensive coordinator. I'm going back on Teck seven years. He

335
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,479
Speaker 7: was at Iowa State before that.

336
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 11: He is not.

337
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 7: Based a triple option, so is he going to do

338
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 7: it on the fly? And they have the wrong defense.

339
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 7: The three three five defense doesn't work against this type

340
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 7: of option offense here, So it's based for spread offenses.

341
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 7: I know they have time to come up with something,

342
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 7: but you can't simulate it in practice. Practiced against it,

343
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 7: I've seen how it works, and you got to know

344
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 7: what you're doing. Big problem here. I think Navy's gonna

345
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 7: run wild here. I like Navy. I think they win

346
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 7: this game here thirty four to thirteen.

347
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember this or not, leeve

348
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 3: but when Luke Fickle first got here, Cincinnati played Navy

349
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 3: and I think they ran for six hundred and something yard.

350
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 3: I mean, it felt like every play was like a

351
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 3: twelve yard game. And Marcus Freeman took that personal and

352
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 3: created a defense that they worked on for like a

353
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 3: year and a half. And then the next time they

354
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 3: played Navy and every subsequent time they got better and

355
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 3: took control of that. But that first time is a

356
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 3: nightmare when you've never played it before. I don't feel great.

357
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 3: I don't feel great.

358
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 6: Nope.

359
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 4: Broncos laying three against the Jaguars.

360
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 7: So Knights set up here for a fall. Are the

361
00:24:54,400 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 7: Jaguars and Trevor Lawrence. He's a mediocre quarterback and that's

362
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 7: the best in the grand scheme of things. He's coming

363
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 7: off a six touchdown game against the Jets. Jets wouldn't

364
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 7: have a win if it wasn't for their special teams.

365
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 7: Their defense is that bad. I know. Jacksonville's won five

366
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 7: straight five against the spread. For the wins were by

367
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 7: twenty two, twenty eight, twenty nine, and seventeen points. But

368
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 7: they're going to be going up against a really tough defense.

369
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 7: Number three against the run and top two against the pass,

370
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 7: and they're going to travel and play it over a

371
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 7: mile high good name for a stadium there, Yeah, I.

372
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 4: Think they should look into that.

373
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, might be a good idea. Sean Payton, I think

374
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 7: he's gradually, you know, feeling really comfortable with bone Nicks.

375
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 7: Earlier in the season, I mean it did not look good.

376
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 7: But right now bon Nick's playing with a lot of confidence.

377
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 7: And that's not even with running anymore. He hadn't even

378
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 7: had to unleash him there. So I think you're going

379
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,719
Speaker 7: to see Trevor Lawrence throw two three picks here. I

380
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 7: like them for big thirty to thirteen.

381
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 3: Finally, the Bengals two and a half point favorites against

382
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 3: the Dolphins.

383
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 7: So I couldn't do it. I've been invited. I just

384
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 7: got an invite for surf and turf and a bunch

385
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 7: of different pies too, and I just can't go to

386
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 7: this game. I can't do it. I mean, it'll be

387
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 7: a little interesting and I'll watch the game. It'll be

388
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 7: one of the main games I'll be watching in my

389
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 7: man cave. But the Bengals just don't seem to care.

390
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 7: Dolphins are going to do it with Quinn yours now.

391
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 7: But they do have a winning record straight up and

392
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 7: against the spread at home, and I think they're gonna

393
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 7: be able to score some points here against Cincinnati. This

394
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 7: line switched from Miami being a one, one and a

395
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 7: half point favorite to Cincinnati being a four and a

396
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 7: half to five point favorite. Here, fourth road game in

397
00:26:55,160 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 7: six weeks here, Miami's won four straight before that Steelers loss.

398
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 7: They just can't play in cold weather. I think they've

399
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 7: won two games in like forty years where it's been

400
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 7: below forty degrees. I think Cincinnati wins this game twenty eight,

401
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 7: twenty seven. I'm gonna take the four and a half

402
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 7: five points in Miami.

403
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 4: All right, there you go.

404
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 3: And then the game of the week, Ravens two and

405
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 3: a half point favorites over the Patriots.

406
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 4: That's a surprising line to me.

407
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a big game here. Some people, some conspiracy theorists,

408
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 7: think it's coming down to the final game between the

409
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 7: Steelers and the Ravens. Made for TV. But we'll see

410
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 7: grams five callers get it for free. Yep, there's always

411
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 7: a script. Hey, someone tell me, I'm a Miami fan.

412
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 7: They told me that it's set up so Miami beats

413
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 7: A and M Carson Beck and Miami face Ohio State,

414
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 7: so it's a rematch of the two thousand and two

415
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 7: national championship. Then he faces his former team Georgia Finals. Yeah,

416
00:27:55,800 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 7: and then then Mario Christobal faces his old team Oregon.

417
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 7: I'm like, yeah, if you believe in that, you believe

418
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 7: in the Tooh theory. And I'm a Miami fan, So

419

Speaker 7: anyone wants to hop on board. We went twenty one

Speaker 11: the bat before I forget, and then I got some food,

468
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 11: a little food thing. I want to talk to you

469
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 11: real quick. If you had to pick the two teams

470
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 11: and that you and Terrence, If you had to pick

471
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 11: right now, the two teams in the Super Bowl, who

472
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 11: are you gonna pick?

473
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't really trust anybody in the ASC

474
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:08,239
Speaker 3: to be honest with you.

475
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 5: Same but if I had a pig, I'm going to

476
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 5: Rams in Houston, Rams in Houston.

477
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 3: Okay, I think I'm with you on the Rams. I

478
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 3: just don't know. In the a SC I mean, I

479
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 3: guess I'm gonna say this. If Buffalo doesn't do it

480
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 3: this year, when do they do it?

481
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, you got that right.

482
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 3: I mean you're looking at no Borrow, no Mahomes, very

483
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 3: possibly no Lamar Jackson, like if he can't get them

484
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 3: there now eh eh, I'll go Rams and Bills.

485
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 11: Yeah, you're right about the Bills if they don't do

486
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 11: a tissue. But see, everybody keeps saying, and I'm no

487
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 11: Denver pin, but everybody keeps saying, well, they're gonna get

488
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 11: that bubble burst. The offense just isn't quite good enough.

489
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 11: Blah blah blah, but it has been good enough to

490
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 11: win a whole hell of a lot of games. Yeah,

491
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 11: I lean towards Terrance. The two best bunch sevens in

492
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 11: the NFL are Houston and Denver, and the Rams are

493
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,479
Speaker 11: probably third. Maybe see how now who do you like tonight?

494
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 4: Rams? Sam Donald still the Seahawks quarterback?

495
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 6: Right, yep? Okay, I'll go Rams over Stafford.

496
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 11: Okay, you go ahead and do it.

497
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 5: Karen Donald sucks against the Rams.

498
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 11: Yes, it's a historically crowd.

499
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 3: I mean, did you know this though, Mike what quarterback

500
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 3: has the most wins in the NFL since the start

501
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 3: of last season.

502
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 11: I assume it's Sam Donald.

503
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 3: It is zero playoff wins, no playoff wins, but he

504
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 3: wins a lot of regular season games. And this is

505
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 3: last I checked a regular season game. He just stinks

506
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 3: against the Rams. Terrence right on that one.

507
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 11: It's just like the guy the Reds picked up, the

508
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 11: ex Dodger, Caleb Ferguson. Caleb Ferguson is an imposing figure

509
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 11: on the mount. He's a big, sick dude. He's a

510
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 11: left hander. He can put a good pitcher and his

511
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 11: stats will tell you that over the years. However, the

512
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 11: reason the Dodgers finally canned him after about six years

513
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 11: was he just gave up too many clutch hits and

514
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 11: hits late in the game when when it costs cost

515
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 11: him the game. So that that's why the Dodgers Candy.

516
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, the Reds won't really be in that position very often,

517
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 3: so he should be fine.

518
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 11: That's my thing, man, my man, kit dad. I had

519
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 11: some piea last night.

520
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 4: Oh I haven't had a good pie in a long time.

521
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 7: Oh my god.

522
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 11: And it was right on the fringe there of Tory

523
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 11: Pines in Delmore, not a couple of blocks from the

524
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 11: ocean there and I got I met Phil Nicholson. I

525
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 11: didn't get an autograph or nothing, but I met him.

526
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 11: He evidently he's co owner of this restaurant, and he

527
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 11: was walking around. I guess his wife was with him,

528
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 11: and and he's a big supporter of veteransine. There were

529
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 11: three or four of us here eating and he shook

530
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 11: our hands to talk to us for a minute. It

531
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 11: was really really pretty cool, very cool. Is he the

532
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 11: best left handed golfer you've ever seen?

533
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 6: I guess he is, probably Yeah.

534
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 11: I mean I can't think of anybody else, because there

535
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 11: really aren't very many of them that I can recall.

536
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 11: And in closing with this sparkling conversation, Mick, Mick's got

537
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 11: some shooters now, Chad. Finally Nick has got some shooters.

538
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 6: It only took him twenty years. That's right.

539
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 11: That boy he had got namer a hair on his.

540
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 6: Sad bro right.

541
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 11: But boy, they played a nice game last night against

542
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 11: Arizona State. They had fourteen three pointers last night, which.

543
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 4: That usually takes two or three as for a Mick

544
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 4: team to get to for sure, for.

545
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 11: Sure for years, if you like them to do anything.

546
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 3: This year, I haven't had a chance to see him

547
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 3: a ton. Yet I like some of the pieces, Like

548
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 3: you know, I've I've heard Xavier Booker's playing well out there.

549
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 3: I've been a big Xavier Booker fan since he was

550
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 3: like a sophomore in high school. I know I knew

551
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 3: his AAU coach really well. It's hard to say, like

552
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 3: I'll need to see a little bit more of him

553
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 3: in the Big Ten. But man, there's nothing better than

554
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 3: the Mick quotes, like the line last week about like

555
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 3: when when you guys call and talk to the recruits

556
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 3: and they say they came here because of me, Just

557
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 3: know they came here because of money.

558
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 11: You gotta love the guy, don't you. I'm telling you

559
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 11: if that's not Cincinnati through and through, nothing.

560
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 3: Complaining about games that started eight thirty on the West

561
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 3: Coast when he's a West Coast team because it starts

562
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,959
Speaker 3: at a let thirty and Cincinnati and Heap's not gonna

563
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 3: be able to stay up and watch it.

564
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 11: Holdout kids.

565
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 3: See you later, Mike, I got time for one more tear.

566
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 3: You want me to go break?

567
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 5: Get a break in?

568
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 3: All right, let's get a break. I'm gonna leave the

585
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,959
Speaker 3: From Bearcat Journal dot Com. There has been a lot

586
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 3: going on with the Bearcats. Gisel James return when last

587
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 3: night over Alabama State and convincing fashion, the three key

588
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 3: members the three returning eligible members of the starting offensive

589
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 3: line announced that they will be back today for the Bearcats.

590
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 3: Left tackle Joe Cotton, left guard Evan Tengstaal who was

591
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 3: a third team All American great season from Tengstah, and

592
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 3: Taran TiO, who will probably move to center next year

593
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 3: depending on how everything in the portal plays out. But

594
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 3: those three guys coming back to anchor that Cincinnati offensive

595
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 3: line next year, as they announced today. And the good

596
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 3: news is is that raises the floor. That was a

597
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 3: really good offensive line. There were a semi finalists for

598
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 3: the Joe Moore Award for the best offensive line in

599
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 3: the country. I think they only allowed five sacks on

600
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 3: the season. They are in a position to have another

601
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 3: really strong year up front. One good for your running game.

602
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 3: Two you probably gonna need a portal quarterback. With Britain

603
00:38:55,520 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 3: soorsby exiting stage left, it's a lot easier to sell

604
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 3: a portal quarterback when you say we've got a very

605
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 3: strong core of one of the best offensive lines in

606
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 3: the country returning next year. All right, let's go out

607
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 3: to the phones. We lost one call back. It's time

608
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 3: to go to the phones. I'm gonna save this whole

609
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 3: half hour twenty minutes now before we talk to keyan

610
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 3: for phone calls.

611
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,680

Speaker 1: State University. Due to the fact that l is what

622
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: it is, there is a quarterback named Andrew Body that

623
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:04,240
Speaker 1: I think that if if you scour the football statistics,

624
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: he was a conference player of the Year in the

625
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: Southwestern Athletic Conference in this football season, and he may

626
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: be a good match and possibly hopefully somebody the Cincinnati

627
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: Bearcats would look at and consider because their quarterback room

628
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: seems to be a little bit better without the I'm

629
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: not gonna completely call our Sowre and Sbee quarterback experience

630
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: where he was in Enigma, but I do feel as

631
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: though it was definitely a lot of meat left on

632
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: the bone from a coaching perspective, from the coach that

633
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: we do have at this point in time, that I

634
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 1: wish would somehow, some way have won one or two

635
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: more games. Somebody else would have signed them away, and

636
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 1: so we could start the Tony Pike football.

637
00:40:55,239 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 6: Coach coaching aretball coach.

638
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,439
Speaker 1: He's not Tony Pike needs to be said Finnati's next

639
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: hand football coach. I'm telling you.

640
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 4: As a head football coach. He is a hell of

641
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 4: a broadcaster.

642
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: Is a good, very good broadcaster. But if we had

643
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: Tony Pike as our next football coach, one, I think

644
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: he would crush it in recruiting locally, and beyond two,

645
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 1: you could actually say you have somebody who has pro

646
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: football experience as your head coach. And then three a snap,

647
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: then we could have the Austin Fellmore experience for a

648
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: talk show and so I wouldn't.

649
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 7: Just have to.

650
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 3: Here, here's the reality of what you want. Though I

651
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 3: don't think Tony wants to work that hard. That's a

652
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 3: lot of work, man, it's.

653
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 1: A lot of work. But I mean, snap, we want

654
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: Tony to get some some good gray hairs on his

655
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: heads from coaching, just because.

656
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 4: Unless you Tommy Tuberville, then it's like a part time job.

657
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: Man. Tommy Tubberville, man, I mean.

658
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 7: Gave him money.

659
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: And I can't you not having seen Tuberville up close

660
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: and personal, because I was still living in Alabama at

661
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: the time. I was disappointed at the just I mean,

662
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would say I would say

663
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: he did a better job than our current coach, because

664
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 1: he did have somewhat of a better record, But well.

665
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 3: This coach would have been fine if he was coaching

666
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 3: in the American Athletic Conference like Tommy Tuberville was.

667
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: Tuberville, Man, I mean, you.

668
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 3: Know, you know what he Here's here's here's what I

669
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 3: can tell you about Tommy Tuberville, mister Ace. You know

670
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 3: what he did and the practices I was at. He

671
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 3: spent more time standing there talking to us, the media members,

672
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 3: than he did coach in his football team. He'd come

673
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 3: over in the middle of practice and just stand there

674
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 3: for like an hour and talked up us.

675
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 4: You know what I was.

676
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 3: I'll tell you the exact moment I was pretty much

677
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 3: out on Tommy Tuberville. It was a Tuesday and Monday

678
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 3: night football. The night before Connor Barwin had a really

679
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 3: big game on Monday night football, and we're standing there

680
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 3: a practice on Tuesday and I said, man, Barwin looked

681
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 3: good last night, and Tuberville looked at me like I

682
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 3: had seven heads. He had absolutely no idea who who

683
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 3: Connor Barwin was, and at that point in time said

684
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 3: I think I'm out on this guy.

685
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 6: I think I'm out of this.

686
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: I would definitely say that Tuberville did leave a lot

687
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: to be wanting a whole lot more as a coach

688
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: at U see, having seen what he did down at

689
00:43:53,480 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: an I was a Holburn University sympathizer if anything, because one,

690
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you're getting to see this stuff up close

691
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: and personal too. Tuberville never he did win some of

692
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:12,760
Speaker 1: the games against futile coaches when they got I forget

693
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: a FRENCHIONI beat them. But as soon as they switched

694
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:20,240
Speaker 1: over to saving. Saving helped Tuberville be escorted out of Auburn,

695
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: Alabama because of his futility as a coach. And I

696
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: expected more for Tuberville when he got hired by UZ

697
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: just because like, all right, you've got southern tides where

698
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: you can recruit down there. Cincinnati and the state of

699
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: Ohio and northern Kentucky are really great hot beds for

700
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: athletic talent for college football. And the fact that Tubberville

701
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: just was horrible in terms of like his recruits being consistent.

702
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that he never got anybody good then.

703
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: But it's like you expect a bit more, and I

704
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: think it was like the constant wife Wilf I'm not

705
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,879
Speaker 1: hitting the local area as much as he possibly could

706
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: have if he left a whole lot of meat on

707
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 1: the bump.

708
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 3: He had a lot of good players while he was here.

709
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 3: He just didn't care to coach him.

710
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 4: I mean, I was there, I saw it.

711
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 3: The biggest thing I think for Tuberville and I gotta

712
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 3: I gotta run after this, mister Ace. But the biggest

713
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 3: thing I would think for Tuberville and it's it's it

714
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 3: hurt Luke Fickel as well. Coaches are very good at

715
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 3: that initial staff right when they get the job, they

716
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 3: got their staff ready, they're ready to go, and then

717
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,399
Speaker 3: over time you lose a guy here, you lose got

718
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 3: it there, guy moves on, you fire guy whatever. He

719
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 3: could never replicate the quality of staff that he had

720
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 3: when he first got here.

721
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 4: Fickle had kind of the same issue.

722
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,399
Speaker 3: The problem for Fickle was that first staff he had

723
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 3: when he was a Cincinnati was like an all star team.

724
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:52,760
Speaker 4: We just didn't know it yet.

725
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:58,240
Speaker 3: Mike Denbrock, Marcus Freeman, Brian Mason, who's the special teams

726
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 3: coordinator for the Colts, who I think is the best

727
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 3: sports special teams coordinator in the world. Like, there were

728
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 3: a lot of really good names on those early fickle staffs,

729
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 3: and then as he had to start replacing guys, it

730
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 3: didn't go as well. Appreciate you, miss Race. You have

731
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 3: an awesome Christmas. All right, my friend you all right,

732
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 3: I have a going Let's go to Nick in Blue ass.

733
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 3: Nick wants to talk the return of Gisel James. What's

734
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 3: going on?

735
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 10: Nick?

736
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 6: Hey, Chad, how's it going.

737
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:28,760
Speaker 4: I'm good.

738
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 13: You a lot better after seeing that game last night.

739
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 4: It definitely helps. The winning helps, it cures a lot.

740
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 7: Nick.

741
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 13: Yeah, I had two things on the con turn or

742
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 13: so of what I saw. One was it feels like

743
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 13: he has a Kashmir Ray Troykpain feel to him, and

744
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 13: that the offense feels a little bit more calm and

745
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 13: or overall the team feels a little bit more calm

746
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 13: when he's on the floor. And two the fans they

747
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 13: love him. Yeah, he feels like a Gary Clark, Like

748
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 13: we know he is issues off the court, he's fixed those,

749
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 13: but it feels like he's loved by all in this city.

750
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 4: Well, that was.

751
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 3: I will say this, that was because he was coming

752
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 3: back and he played well. People are pretty angry right now.

753
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 6: Nick.

754
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 3: If things go south and he's not playing well, I

755
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 3: think it Hopefully we don't see it because I want

756
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 3: to see him do really well. He does have a

757
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,240
Speaker 3: little bit more of a calming influence because I don't

758
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 3: think one they don't really have anybody that can get

759
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:37,720
Speaker 3: downhill now. I have talked about my issues with Jisel

760
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 3: over the years that he doesn't go all the way

761
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 3: to the rim. He'll get to like six feet and

762
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:47,879
Speaker 3: then hit a fade away, you know, twelve footer as

763
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 3: opposed to continuing the attack all the way to the

764
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 3: rim with his body getting fouled and going to the

765
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 3: free throw line. I don't think he gets to the

766
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 3: free throw line enough for a guy that's a eighty

767
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 3: plus percent free throw shooter. So there are still things

768
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 3: that I think we're gonna have to find out with

769
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 3: him as the competition level jumps back up into Sunday

770
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 3: and going forward. But overall, the smile on his face

771
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,959
Speaker 3: last night, knowing what he's been through, knowing how tough

772
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 3: of a time this has been for him, it was

773
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 3: great to see all of those things come to fruition

774
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 3: last night.

775
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:23,919
Speaker 4: I was really happy for him.

776
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 6: I was too.

777
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 13: Do you think it helps with the spacing in that

778
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 13: we I know we haven't shot well from three, but

779
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 13: we have shooters on the team, and we have Chom

780
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 13: and McKinley when he's healthy down low, but we never

781
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 13: really had a mid range guy coming into this year.

782
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 13: I think that would help the offense in terms of

783
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 13: the spread.

784
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 4: Maybe.

785
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 3: But you know what, Nick, I hate the mid range jumper.

786
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 3: I hate it. I enjoy it. It's the least efficient

787
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 3: shot in sports. I mean, he's shot like thirty nine

788
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,760
Speaker 3: thirty eight percent the mid from the mid range last year.

789
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 6: That's not good enough. That's not good enough.

790
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 10: Like it.

791
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 3: You're either and you know the game has evolved. It's layups,

792
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 3: dunks and threes. I think there is a place for some,

793
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 3: but you can't be a mid range merchant. You can't

794
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 3: be a guy that hunts seventeen footers or what. David

795
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 3: de Julie has always used to drive me nuts. He'd

796
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 3: shoot long twos with his heels on the three point line,

797
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 3: move back six inches and take the damn three. So

798
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 3: I don't love it when he relies on it too much.

799
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 3: I do think there's a place for it when it's

800
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 3: an open spot in the defense and he can rise

801
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 3: up and take an easy one.

802
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 4: I don't mind those as much.

803
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 3: He took a lot of tough ones last year, hand

804
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 3: in his face, fading away, you know, just shots that

805
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 3: aren't efficient offense. If he can take less of those

806
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 3: and more of the open stuff, I think it can

807
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 3: be a little bit more successful. I'm super interested to

808
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,839
Speaker 3: see what this looks like on Sunday, because that's a

809
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 3: really good Clemson team that they're facing Sunday.

810
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 13: Yes, it is too and I'm excited to thank thanks

865
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,040

00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 3: gonna come back for the Houston game and we're gonna

867

868
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 4: So I don't think we're going to drive down together.

869
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 3: He would probably like that though, Like you know how

870
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 3: much he enjoyed the trip to Kansas City.

871
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 4: Tern He really had a good time.

872
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 5: I mean, you see he's back in Kansas City this year.

873
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think I'm going out there for that.

874
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 4: What do you think, kikes?

875
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'll enjoy that trip out there by myself knowing

876
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 12: that I don't have to sit behind someone who smokes

877
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 12: a cigarette every forty five minutes and puts the window

878
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 12: down in twenty degree weather.

879
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:08,919
Speaker 6: They're going eighty.

880
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 3: Toughness, Kegan, where's your toughness? Where's your toughness? That was

881
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 3: a rental car. You don't smoke cigarettes and rental cars.

882
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 3: Come on, everybody knows that Anyhow, Keigan, How was uh,

883
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 3: how was it to have a little bit of a

884
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 3: change of uh vibes last night in the third arena

885
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 3: with the return of Gisel James and the team handling

886
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,800
Speaker 3: an inferior opponent with relative ease.

887
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:46,799
Speaker 12: Yeah, it felt like a decent vibe change, But I

888
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 12: don't think it really convinced.

889
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 6: A lot of the fans that it was gonna, you know,

890
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 6: be a fix say that.

891
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 12: I think if if they beat Eastern Michigan and pulled

892
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:03,280
Speaker 12: one off cost either Louisville or Georgia.

893
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 16: Maybe it's different. Maybe the fans are thinking differently, But

894
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 16: I still think.

895
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 12: The team has some pretty deep seated issues that one guy.

896
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,800
Speaker 6: Isn't going to fix. But it was it was good.

897
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 12: I think just the whole story about the.

898
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 6: Return is interesting to me.

899
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 12: And hearing from West last night about how it all

900
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 12: went down, especially about what Gisel had to do to

901
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 12: get back to earning his coaches trust, earning his teammates trust,

902
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 12: how he wanted to be on the team knowing that

903
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 12: he probably wasn't going to play anyway. That was something

904
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 12: that meant a lot to me. So that was nice

905
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:47,760
Speaker 12: to hear. But you know, I'm looking forward to seeing

906
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 12: what he can do and what he can contribute to

907
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 12: the team the rest of the season.

908
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 3: Here's one thing we can confirm for everybody. Kegan west

909
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:59,760
Speaker 3: Miller said that Gisel James and pretty much everybody around

910
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 3: the was told that he would not be returning to

911
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 3: the team this year.

912
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, we can't confirm that.

913
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 3: If you wonder why I was on this show or

914
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 3: on with you, were on with Tony or it talked

915
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 3: about it on all the shows on the Bearcat Journal

916
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 3: Network or on Bearcat Journal dot com like it didn't

917
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 3: think Gisel would be back this year, why, because that's

918
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 3: what everybody was told, everybody, including Gigsel James. Sometimes things change,

919
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 3: sometimes the situations evolve. Keegan, And look, I agree with

920
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 3: Wes Miller when he says the injuries, you know, the

921
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 3: the numbers started to pile up a little bit, and

922
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 3: and you're getting down to a point where you're worried

923
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 3: about your depth. And I'm sure, based especially on the

924
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 3: reactions from guys on the team when Gisel had success

925
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 3: last night and how everybody was for him, that was

926
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 3: a part of it.

927
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 4: The guys wanted him back on the team.

928
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 3: But it's okay to call a spade A spade teag

929
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,439
Speaker 3: and it's okay to say we were six and four,

930
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 3: the plans changed. We got to win. Yeah, everybody's dying

931
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 3: for them to win. Right, You put your leading score

932
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 3: back out on the floor and you see if maybe

933
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 3: that changes some things.

934
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, makes sense. And he looked good.

935
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 12: He looked efficient, He looked like he had been training

936
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 12: and keep it in shape.

937
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 16: There was a few lobs that were short that looked.

938
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 6: Like they needed some additional touch and you just have

939
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 6: to get back into actual game flow.

940
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 16: But he definitely looked good enough to be a plug

941
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 16: and play guy, which.

942
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 12: They need to have him be at that level.

943
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 16: As they go in the conference play.

944
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 3: I think the plan was probably twelve to fifteen minutes,

945
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 3: but then Buck Harris has his back start acting up.

946
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 4: He only played three minutes.

947
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 3: Jisel gets twe When you're looking at Sunday afternoon against Clemson,

948
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 3: do you think it's twenty plus? Do you think twenty

949
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 3: is about the number?

950
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 7: Like?

951
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 4: Where do you think Gisel's minutes sit in that environment?

952
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think they'll play Gizzl much more in lieu

953
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 12: of playing Keishan Tillery much more, because that's a big

954
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 12: reason why Tillery played last night, was because since your

955
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 12: Harris missed so much or at least some of his

956
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 12: minutes where he was gonna.

957
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 16: Play regardless because they were upped so much, So.

958
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 6: That wouldn't surprise me at all.

959
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 16: It's just a completely different team when Gisel's on the

960
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 16: floor compared to since your hairs, because you can do

961
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 16: so much different stuff. You're much better offensively, but you're

962
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 16: definitely not as good defensively because since your Harris is

963
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 16: one of the better defenders in the Big twelve. So

964
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 16: that'll be interesting to see what the identity of the

965
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 16: team is and how they kind of react to Diesel

966
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 16: basically being the lead point guard on the floor, because

967
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 16: it wouldn't.

968
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 12: Surprise me if from that first Houston game a Big

969
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 12: twelve player that Chisels the starting point guard. Seeing how

970
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 12: kerk Krisa has struggled offensively and his ability to make.

971
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 3: Sure, Yeah, the curR thing is interesting because seven assists

972
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 3: one turnover, Like for your your you know, one of

973
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 3: your primary ball handlers is outstanding, but there are you know,

974
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 3: diminishing returns. If that guy's also one of nine from three,

975
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 3: it's not great. The problem is Kegan, He's it feels

976
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 3: like he's getting good looks. It feels like he's open

977
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 3: and he's taking good shots. He's been a good shooter

978
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 3: his whole career. Right now, the ball was just not

979
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 3: going in for him.

980
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, and like they were counting on getting that West

981
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 12: Virginia kirkrias of the year before he transferred to Kentucky.

982
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 12: Then he goes to Kentucky, I think he plays in

983
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 12: nine games, gets hurt, and now he's.

984
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 6: Not really contributing that much and.

985
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 12: He's still taking a few questionable like step back, pretty

986
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 12: long s freeze.

987
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 16: But that's his game, that's what he that's what he

988
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 16: knows he can make, and he's just not making him

989
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 16: right now.

990
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:33,920
Speaker 12: So if he's going to continue to start, I would

991
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 12: like to see the volume go down a little bit,

992
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 12: maybe work it inside out.

993
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 16: Like we saw him stuffa chom do for the first.

994
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 12: Time, and westmoy brought that up postgame because when that happened,

995
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 12: I was floored that they threw it into sham and

996
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,919
Speaker 12: then he immediately throws it back out to Baba who

997
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 12: makes a three.

998
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 6: That's a huge part of their offense that needs to

999
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 6: continue to develop.

1000
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 4: Speaking of Bob A.

1001
01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 3: Miller, how stark is it the difference, especially in critical situations.

1002
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 3: You go back to the Louisville game when he when

1003
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 3: he had the hip injury, or the Georgia game when

1004
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 3: he gets the foul and then the technical and has

1005
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 3: to go to the bench. Like, watching this team in

1006
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 3: pivotal situations with Boba Miller off the floor is pretty

1007
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:26,160
Speaker 3: jarring in terms of how important it is for him

1008
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 3: to be on the floor for this team.

1009
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1010
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 12: Absolutely, he changes everything great in transition. He gandles the

1011
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 12: ball at the guard and he I.

1012
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,439
Speaker 16: Think did he make one or two threes left side?

1013
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 6: I know he made the early one.

1014
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 3: I don't think he he made he took it. He

1015
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 3: took one early in the first half and made it.

1016
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 3: He took one early in the second half and missed it.

1017
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 3: So he's eleven for twelve, eight dunks, one made three,

1018
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 3: and then fourteen rebounds for twenty six points.

1019
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's the thing that he's been so good, but

1020
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 12: he's not even touching the cusp of what he can

1021
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,640
Speaker 12: do from shooting beyond the arc, and it feels like

1022
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 12: there's just another level that he can get to if

1023
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 12: the offense can continue to kind of evolve and I

1024
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 12: asked him, like, how do you think you benefit from

1025
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 12: Jizsel being back, and he said, well, Gisel always makes

1026
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 12: the right read and he's always ready to make the

1027
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 12: right read. So I'm looking forward to seeing how much

1028
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 12: better can Baba get offensively with Jisel on the floor,

1029
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 12: because I feel like there's another step that he can take.

1030
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 12: But I did not expect him to be as good

1031
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:41,440
Speaker 12: defensively and on the.

1032
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 16: Boards as he has been. That was completely shocking to me.

1033
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 12: But like when you think about it, the six to

1034
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 12: eleven frame and crazy length, that makes sense. He just

1035
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 12: plays a little bit harder than I thought he was going.

1036
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 6: To, which is a psych to see.

1037
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 4: Been an interesting point, Keg.

1038
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 3: And when you look at the best teams around the league,

1039
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:08,920
Speaker 3: there's always that one two punch that you know, Toppen

1040
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 3: and Anderson at Texas Tech and Bradley and Pete at Arizona,

1041
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 3: and some teams have three or four guys because this

1042
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 3: league's so good, But you know Tuggler and Uzon and

1043
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:28,880
Speaker 3: Sharp at Houston. Does Gizsel and Baba actually give Cincinnati

1044
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 3: maybe not an upper echelon one two punch? Maybe not

1045
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 3: with the best of the league. Darren Peterson and Floria,

1046
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 3: but Dona. I could keep going on it's ridiculous how

1047
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 3: good this league is. But does this at least give

1048
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 3: him a puncher's chance because they've now got, you know,

1049
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 3: those two guys that you can center things around and

1050
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 3: not have to be super creative on offense because I

1051
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 3: think we've learned over five years. Maybe that's not Wes

1052
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 3: Miller's forte. Maybe he needs a one to two punch.

1053
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, maybe, And like I still think it really that

1054
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 12: specific question will come down to what Baba does from

1055
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 12: free and how much he can kind of score from everywhere.

1056
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 12: But like we saw with the behind the back path

1057
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 12: to Baba and transition for a dunk last night, like

1058
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 12: they already seem like they have the good chemistry. They

1059
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 12: both thrive on those plays. Like I've never been more

1060
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 12: impressed with Baba than just seeing him take two strides

1061
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 12: with which I feel like, take up like from the

1062
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 12: half yeah to the rim and then donks on like

1063
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 12: two people. So I think if you're wanting to get

1064
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 12: out and pace and play that really fast brand.

1065
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 6: That really helps. But they're both.

1066
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 16: Talented enough to be that one two punch. I just

1067
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 16: want to see, does Gi will.

1068
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 12: Come back, and does he want to be an offensive

1069
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 12: volume guy who's taken a ton of shots, or does

1070
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 12: he want to be a balance sky like we saw

1071
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 12: last night when he's kind of just easing his way

1072
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 12: back into it, because that's the offense looked really good

1073
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:09,280
Speaker 12: when he just chose to, you know, facilitate a little bit,

1074
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 12: pass it around and when he gets his open shot,

1075
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 12: take it and I want to see if Cincinnati can

1076
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 12: take advantage of him.

1077
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 4: Well was that?

1078
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 3: Maybe the most surprising thing is how efficient the chisel was,

1079
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 3: Like that's the gripe on jizzle, right, He's not the

1080
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:31,920
Speaker 3: most efficient basketball player on the planet. Last night incredibly efficient.

1081
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was picking last night, like that's what I'll say, and.

1082
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 12: You were laughing when the first shot he took was

1083
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:43,120
Speaker 12: a nineteen footer.

1084
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 3: He almost pulled another one the first time he touched

1085
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 3: the ball.

1086
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 6: And he passed.

1087
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 12: He wanted to shoot a really really low percenta's long

1088
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 12: mid range, which is what we're used to seeing him do.

1089
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 6: So I uh, he was very very good.

1090
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:04,320
Speaker 12: Some of it was garbage time when Alabama State was

1091
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 12: out of it, but look, Cincinnati's issue a lot of

1092
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 12: the season has been missing open shots. So seeing some

1093
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 12: open shots go in from a guy who hasn't played

1094
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 12: all season is a really good sign.

1095
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 3: Let's let's get Sunday real quick. Do you give this

1096
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 3: team much of a chance against Clemson? Did did last

1097
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:27,920
Speaker 3: night change anything in terms of how you look at

1098
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 3: that Clemson game? Because I think coming out of the

1099
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:32,959
Speaker 3: Georgia game, we all looked at it and said, no way,

1100
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 3: no how? Are you still a no way?

1101
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 9: No how?

1102
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:40,960
Speaker 3: Or did the window crack a little bit for the

1103
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 3: game Sunday? And there is a way and the window

1104
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 3: crashed a little bit. But if I was a gambler,

1105
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 3: I would not be putting any money on Cincinnati to

1106
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:54,520
Speaker 3: upset Clemson.

1107
01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 12: I still haven't seen them really play well in a

1108
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 12: hostile environment, and that that Greenville crowd is going to

1109
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 12: be heavy Clemson.

1110
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 6: So I still think Clemson is.

1111
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 12: Going to win and they're going to go into Big

1112
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 12: Twelve play kind of really scratching for anything.

1113
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 6: To go their way.

1114
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 3: Clemson is currently thirty first in Ken Palm, forty seventh

1115
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 3: on offense, thirty third on defense. They lost an early

1116
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:26,560
Speaker 3: game to Georgetown. Their other two losses are Alabama and BYU,

1117
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 3: neither of them at home. One away one neutral they have.

1118
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 3: They have beaten South Carolina, they beat Georgia, they beat

1119
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 3: West Virginia. It's it's not going to be an easy one,

1120
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 3: but good measuring stick. If this team's going to get

1121
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:47,639
Speaker 3: back on track, they're going to have to be Clemson

1122
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 3: on Sunday quickly. Football, Do they have you out there

1123
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 3: practicing for this Navy game or what are the numbers

1124
01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 3: look like? I was there earlier in the week in

1125
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 3: out the little finn out there, didn't it.

1126
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:03,679
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1127
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 12: I didn't play football in high school, but my high

1128
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 12: school ran the triple options, so I can. I can

1129
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 12: go out and give him some tips on how to

1130
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 12: defend it.

1131
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 4: Are you running scout team quarterback?

1132
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:18,360
Speaker 12: Kegan Nicholson, I'm running scout team quarterback with a look

1133
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:19,679
Speaker 12: at starting next season.

1134
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 6: Okay, I'd be a true goal threat guy.

1135
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:26,680
Speaker 3: But to either get sacked or be taken off the

1136
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 3: field on a stretcher.

1137
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:31,320
Speaker 6: Yes, that's my ThReD ability.

1138
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 3: Uh do they have anybody left in the secondary?

1139
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 10: Uh?

1140
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:42,799
Speaker 16: Yeah, They've got some true freshmen and red shirt freshman.

1141
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 6: And I don't know.

1142
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:48,000
Speaker 12: If Matthew mcdoon is gonna play, but he's been with

1143
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:53,560
Speaker 12: the team, so that'll be interesting to see. The safeties

1144
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 12: are also like in large part gone, and I think

1145
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 12: one guy to look out for is CJ Right, really

1146
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:05,919
Speaker 12: Langsy safety who they they've.

1147
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:07,640
Speaker 6: Put a lot of stock in.

1148
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 12: And then Patrick Williams is a corner. As I mentioned earlier,

1149
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 12: Tyson Bite is really really high on him, and I

1150
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 12: think anyone that is with the team and practicing right now,

1151
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:23,600
Speaker 12: Tyson Bite is really really.

1152
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,680
Speaker 6: Putting a lot of stock into. It's one of those

1153
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 6: things that.

1154
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,120
Speaker 12: He said at practice was look, if you're here practicing

1155
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 12: right now, it means you love football. And we like

1156
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 12: guys who love football.

1157
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 6: So I'm not exactly worried about.

1158
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:42,720
Speaker 12: Carry because because the triple option is in a big

1159
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 12: passing threat.

1160
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:44,799
Speaker 6: But we shall see.

1161
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:48,040

1217
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:10,200
Speaker 3: you that much right now.

1218
01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:15,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, Hey, Ken, I've got a basketball question for you

1219
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 10: and a couple of football questions.

1220
01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can.

1221
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:26,559
Speaker 10: Basketball wise, if Wes is not successful in keeping his

1222
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 10: job at the end of this year, who would you

1223
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:34,440
Speaker 10: envision to be perhaps some of the leaguing candidates.

1224
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:39,160
Speaker 3: I think there's two names that are probably the most

1225
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:41,360
Speaker 3: popular in the fan base right now.

1226
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:43,639
Speaker 4: One of them is.

1227
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:47,759
Speaker 3: Josh Schertz, who is the head coach at Saint Louis.

1228
01:14:48,360 --> 01:14:50,679
Speaker 3: You might remember him a couple of years back from

1229
01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:56,080
Speaker 3: the NIT when Cincinnati played Indiana State with Ryan Conwell

1230
01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:59,680
Speaker 3: who eventually ended up at Xavier and is now at Louisville,

1231
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:07,679
Speaker 3: and Robbie Avila, Larry nerd As what's his nickname? Yeah, Uh,

1232
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 3: he is at Saint Louis now they are having an

1233
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 3: incredible season. Uh.

1234
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 4: And then the other name.

1235
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:16,400
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are monitoring one because

1236
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 3: he's he's a good coach, and two because of his ties.

1237
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:24,160
Speaker 3: Not only is he an alumni of Cincinnati, where he

1238
01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 3: worked as a graduate assistant under Bob Huggins, but also

1239
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:32,679
Speaker 3: coached at West Virginia as an assistant for five years

1240
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 3: under Huggins. And his name is Jared Calhoun. He is

1241
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 3: at Utah State and they are. They're having a very

1242
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:44,920
Speaker 3: strong season as well. Tony Skin at George Mason would

1243
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 3: be a name, uh to keep an eye on. You know,

1244
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 3: there'll be others if the job does come open, that

1245
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 3: pop up. But at least for like the the hot

1246
01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:59,960
Speaker 3: names on the market, guys that it very much look

1247
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:02,080
Speaker 3: like are going to get a chance to move up

1248
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:04,639
Speaker 3: the ranks in this spring.

1249
01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 4: Those are the big names so far.

1250
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1251
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 10: And did Cincinnati even consider at any point perhaps bidding

1252
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:22,280
Speaker 10: goodbye to West and looking at Pat Kelsey?

1253
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 3: No, you have to remember that was Kelsey hadn't really

1254
01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 3: you know, ascended. He had had a career very similar

1255
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:36,040
Speaker 3: to Wes Miller at North Carolina Greensboro. When he was

1256
01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:39,480
Speaker 3: at Winthrop, he was there for nine years, had success

1257
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:44,240
Speaker 3: and then things hadn't really like spiked at Charleston yet

1258
01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:49,679
Speaker 3: for him at that point in time. Plus you get

1259
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:54,360
Speaker 3: into I just I think it's and I would.

1260
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 4: Say the same for Xavior.

1261
01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 3: If you know, like hiring Jared Calhoun at Xavier, hiring

1262
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:02,000
Speaker 3: a Cincinnati guy, you're hiring a Xavier guy at Cincinnati.

1263
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 3: I wouldn't do it if I was the athletic director,

1264
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 3: it would not be something I would uh venture into

1265
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:10,479
Speaker 3: because I just think it puts your it puts your

1266
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:13,559
Speaker 3: fan base in a in a tough spot if things

1267
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:16,800
Speaker 3: don't go well, it's uh, we hired the Xavier guy,

1268
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:20,080
Speaker 3: and if things do go well, you you worry, you know,

1269
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:22,960
Speaker 3: is he is he gonna leave? Because he's, you know,

1270
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 3: a guy with deep ties across town. So I don't

1271
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:30,559
Speaker 3: think so. I know they didn't really at the time

1272
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:35,559
Speaker 3: because his name wasn't top of mind. It's easy to

1273
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 3: you know, a lot of people were doing it with

1274
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:40,839
Speaker 3: Kurt Signetti now too, he had not had his breakout

1275
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:44,080
Speaker 3: year yet. Uh, when Cincinnati was in the market for

1276
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:46,880
Speaker 3: a coach, he did have that breakout year and then

1277
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:50,720
Speaker 3: that led him to Indiana. You know, it's easy to

1278
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 3: look back on those and wonder, but I I really

1279
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:57,400
Speaker 3: don't think Pat was that hot of a name on

1280
01:17:57,439 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 3: the on the market at that point in time when

1281
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:01,599
Speaker 3: Cincinnati was replacing John Brannon.

1282
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:05,519
Speaker 10: Wait, you know what, you just made me think of something,

1283
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:10,559
Speaker 10: because I'm wondering if perhaps like a Chris Mack would

1284
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:12,439
Speaker 10: ever enter their mind.

1285
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 3: No, No, I don't think so. No, They're not having

1286
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:20,000
Speaker 3: a great year at Charleston right now.

1287
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, And I know things didn't go well in Louisville,

1288
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 10: but I I thought, uh, his time at Xavier, I

1289
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:27,880
Speaker 10: thought he was great.

1290
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:31,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and sometimes it's right place, right time, and you

1291
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:35,679
Speaker 3: know it didn't work out at Louisville. I I like Chris.

1292
01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:38,479
Speaker 3: I got to know Chris pretty well while he was here.

1293
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:43,720
Speaker 3: I just don't think it's something that is wise in

1294
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:45,840
Speaker 3: the rivalry to go that route.

1295
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 4: It's not something I would do.

1296
01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:56,800
Speaker 10: You remember the name kay Baker Snati then yeah, but

1297
01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:01,760
Speaker 10: Chad is it is it? With the transfer portal on

1298
01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:05,479
Speaker 10: everything nowadays, I would imagine a new guy coming in,

1299
01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 10: it's got to be much easier to get a competitive team. Correct.

1300
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:15,480
Speaker 3: Maybe, I mean it depends on what happens to the market.

1301
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:19,519
Speaker 3: You know, last year was insanity because teams were trying

1302
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:26,000
Speaker 3: to empty their NIL coffers because they knew the revenue

1303
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:28,840
Speaker 3: share stuff was getting ready to start. NIL was going

1304
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:32,640
Speaker 3: to be changed. The market kind of exploded and there

1305
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 3: were you know, everybody talks about, oh, they spent ten

1306
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 3: million on the roster. Yeah, that was probably five million

1307
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 3: for that roster the year earlier. And I think it's

1308
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:44,879
Speaker 3: going to level back out some I'm hearing it already.

1309
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:52,320
Speaker 3: I was talking to a football source at a very prominent, high,

1310
01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:56,400
Speaker 3: high level, you know, blue blood in college football, and

1311
01:19:56,439 --> 01:19:58,799
Speaker 3: they had like a you know, like a mid level starter,

1312
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:02,080
Speaker 3: a guy that it wasn't a star, wasn't like an

1313
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:05,000
Speaker 3: All American, All Conference type guy, but a solid starter.

1314
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 3: That guy came into their GM and said, I want

1315
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:11,240
Speaker 3: one point five million. GM said, well, here, here's six

1316
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 3: hundred thousand. If you want one point five million compliances

1317
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:17,960
Speaker 3: down the hall, you can put your name in the

1318
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 3: transfer portal because you're not getting one point five million here.

1319
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:23,800
Speaker 3: So it's gonna be interesting to see if the market

1320
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:24,800
Speaker 3: stabilizes some.

1321
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:27,600
Speaker 6: If it does, then yeah you can. You can go

1322
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:28,720
Speaker 6: out and you can build a.

1323
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:32,719
Speaker 3: Pretty competitive first year roster at a at a good price.

1324
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:37,240
Speaker 3: Last year was just insanity because there were guys that

1325
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:41,200
Speaker 3: were probably four hundred thousand dollars, guys that were getting

1326
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:44,520
Speaker 3: one point two one point three million in college basketball.

1327
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:50,280
Speaker 3: So until we see some stability, yeah, there's gonna be

1328
01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:52,840
Speaker 3: some guys that hit. There's gonna be some guys that don't.

1329
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 3: I don't think it's as easy as people think it

1330
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:59,760
Speaker 3: is because you're you're probably paying a lot more than

1331
01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:04,200
Speaker 3: you should for guys that are maybe you know, an

1332
01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:08,559
Speaker 3: okay starter, a replacement level starter, or a bench guy

1333
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:11,439
Speaker 3: that you're going to have to pay like an All

1334
01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 3: conference player. It makes things difficult.

1335
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 11: Does does you see?

1336
01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:21,280
Speaker 10: Are they looking at some of the guys that have

1337
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:25,479
Speaker 10: left over the last two years, especially guys who have

1338
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 10: done pretty well in their new spots, and go, why.

1339
01:21:30,760 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 7: Couldn't we get that?

1340
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 10: Or these guys, Bob Well, like say a Victor Lockton

1341
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 10: last year.

1342
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:42,599
Speaker 4: Victor and Victor also learned a lesson.

1343
01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:46,120
Speaker 3: I think the problem at Cincinnati was Victor was convinced

1344
01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:49,679
Speaker 3: he was a power forward and he wanted to play

1345
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:51,960
Speaker 3: power forward. Now this is this is on the coach

1346
01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:54,759
Speaker 3: to tell him you're not a power forward, you're a center.

1347
01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:57,320
Speaker 3: But they gave him the opportunity to play power forward

1348
01:21:57,760 --> 01:21:59,880
Speaker 3: and he wasn't very good at it, and.

1349
01:21:59,840 --> 01:22:00,839
Speaker 6: They and he goes to Clemson.

1350
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 3: They move him back to the five, and he looked

1351
01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:07,680
Speaker 3: a lot more like he did two years prior at Cincinnati.

1352
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:11,519
Speaker 3: But like you know, I hear a lot of this

1353
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:14,759
Speaker 3: and this is not you in general, Bob, but people

1354
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:18,000
Speaker 3: will focus on like you know, Dylan Mitchell has one

1355
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:20,400
Speaker 3: good game and must say, oh, look what you missed

1356
01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 3: out on. When you look at his numbers, he's having

1357
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 3: the exact same year at Saint John's that he had

1358
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 3: at Cincinnati.

1359
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:30,240
Speaker 4: I know last year at all and Dan.

1360
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 3: Skillings like he have a really good game for Baylor

1361
01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 3: and people bring him up and then you watch him

1362
01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:36,799
Speaker 3: play and you go, no, that's that's Dan Skillings.

1363
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:38,600
Speaker 4: That's that's what he looked like at Cincinnati.

1364
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:39,400
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1365
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:43,719
Speaker 10: Well, I guess I'm thinking of CJ. Anthony and Tyler Betsy, And.

1366
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:46,599
Speaker 3: Well, Tyler Betsy is no different than he was here.

1367
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:50,599
Speaker 3: I love CJ Anthony. C J Anthony's I mean, he's

1368
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:55,320
Speaker 3: scoring twenty points on nineteen shots. Yeah, you'd have a

1369
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:57,880
Speaker 3: you'd have a panic attack if CJ. Anthony was getting

1370
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:00,000
Speaker 3: nineteen shots here, wouldn't you?

1371
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:02,840
Speaker 11: Probably so, But I'll tell you what.

1372
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:04,559
Speaker 10: There would have been times last.

1373
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 7: Year or that.

1374
01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:07,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that the problem with that game.

1375
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:09,519
Speaker 3: The problem with that was they had already agreed coming

1376
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:12,160
Speaker 3: into the season that they were gonna sit him so

1377
01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:14,679
Speaker 3: that he could go somewhere else and play his senior year.

1378
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:18,200
Speaker 3: I think he could have helped last year for sure.

1379
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:20,840
Speaker 3: I agree with that too, too.

1380
01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:24,599
Speaker 10: All right, Chad, Oh, hey, one other things tell me this.

Speaker 5: Oh yeah, so.

01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:14,479
Speaker 3: great Christmas. All right, let's take a break. Jay Morrison.

1396
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:16,840
Speaker 3: Up next. Cincinnati's ESPN thirteen thirty.

1397
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:22,240
Speaker 8: Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty traffic.

1398
01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:25,559
Speaker 9: Southbound seventy five. There's a disabled vehicle that is on

1399
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:29,000
Speaker 9: the off ramp to Hopple in Florence, Kentucky. It's an

1400
01:24:29,080 --> 01:24:32,600
Speaker 9: accident on Pleasant Valley Road at Oakbrook Drive and on

1401
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 9: Queens City Avenue. An accident over at Work Road. I'm

1402
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:38,280
Speaker 9: at Ezemach with traffic.

1403
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 6: For more information about contests on.

1404
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 8: This is Football in the NATI brought to you in

1405
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:50,160
Speaker 8: part by Postman Law and Vice Skyline Chilly on ESPN

1406
01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:58,560
Speaker 8: fifteen thirty to the official home of the Cincinnati Bengals.

1407
01:25:03,320 --> 01:25:07,320
Speaker 4: Here we go.

1408
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:13,200
Speaker 3: The scenario is we're talking to Jay Morrison, beat rider

1409
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:18,440
Speaker 3: for Bengals Talk dot Com and h Jay is cruising

1410
01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:23,280
Speaker 3: through Cincinnati traffic right now, so hopefully nobody cuts them

1411
01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:24,160
Speaker 3: off or makes a man.

1412
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:28,720
Speaker 12: How's it going, Jay, I'm good. My goal was to

1413
01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:30,880
Speaker 12: get off of my exit by the time I talk

1414
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 12: to you guys. So I am rolling from Hamilton into

1415
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 12: Fairfield right now. I don't have to worry about the

1416
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:39,240
Speaker 12: highway traffic anymore. That's where most of the cuss words fly.

1417
01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:41,720
Speaker 4: Are you on your way to an Arby's near you?

1418
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 16: I actually have one in iesight right now, but I

1419
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:47,400
Speaker 16: am not going right past that to the bar.

1420
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:51,240
Speaker 3: I mean, you could probably get some jalapeno poppers with

1421
01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 3: some Bronco berry sauce and just finish those off on

1422
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 3: your way to the bar.

1423
01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 11: You know.

1424
01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:58,639
Speaker 16: I did on my way to the stadium a little

1425
01:25:58,680 --> 01:26:00,639
Speaker 16: earlier this afternoon. I did a little in the shopping

1426
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 16: and I swung into a Panera and I had a

1427
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 16: late heavy lunch.

1428
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:06,200
Speaker 6: Barbie's gonna have to wait.

1429
01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 4: All right after the bar, after the bar.

1430
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:09,000
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1431
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:18,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Speaking of existential crises, Joe Burrow, What is going

1432
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 3: on in Joe's head? And I know we're all trying

1433
01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 3: to psychoanalyze. I had a theory earlier. How much of

1434
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:28,040
Speaker 3: it is Joe wondering? Maybe leave some of that stuff?

1435
01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 3: I demanded tea. I demanded, you know a lot of

1436
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:33,640
Speaker 3: things this offseason. I've had my hands and things. It

1437
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:36,559
Speaker 3: hasn't worked. Maybe I should step back. How many different

1438
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:37,720
Speaker 3: ways can we spin this?

1439
01:26:38,479 --> 01:26:38,559
Speaker 1: Uh?

1440
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:40,760
Speaker 4: Trying to figure out what Joe's thinking right now?

1441
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:44,080
Speaker 16: Now, there's a lot of different ways. I think we've

1442
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:47,560
Speaker 16: only scratched the surface. But if you ask me, the

1443
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:52,519
Speaker 16: big part of it coming back, I don't know. After

1444
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:55,320
Speaker 16: that Buffalo loss was the postgame press conference. There is

1445
01:26:55,320 --> 01:26:55,680
Speaker 16: when it.

1446
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:59,120
Speaker 6: Really seemed different, and I just see he.

1447
01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:02,080
Speaker 16: Said it's it's personal and football is there's something going

1448
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:05,120
Speaker 16: on in his personal life. Everybody knows how when something

1449
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:07,280
Speaker 16: like that's going on, it can affect your work. And

1450
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:09,960
Speaker 16: most people's work isn't as public as Joe Burrow. So

1451
01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:10,920
Speaker 16: we don't know what's.

1452
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:11,479
Speaker 6: Going on there.

1453
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:15,200
Speaker 16: But I think he worked his thought off to get back. Yeah,

1454
01:27:15,400 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 16: and I just think there's some real disappointment.

1455
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:21,000
Speaker 12: And I don't know if regrets the right word, but

1456
01:27:21,680 --> 01:27:24,280
Speaker 12: you go. I mean, any rehab is far, but you

1457
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:26,400
Speaker 12: work so hard that you get back a month or

1458
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:30,120
Speaker 12: so early, and then you lose and it's kind of

1459
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:32,080
Speaker 12: over and you kind of like, why did I go

1460
01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:32,920
Speaker 12: through all that?

1461
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:34,880
Speaker 6: And so I thought that was.

1462
01:27:34,880 --> 01:27:37,439
Speaker 16: Part of it, and plus just the way that that

1463
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:41,840
Speaker 16: loss happened, where yeah, seven of the points were on him,

1464
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:44,240
Speaker 16: but it's still it's a game where the opponents.

1465
01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:45,599
Speaker 6: Scores thirty nine and how many times have we seen

1466
01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:46,880
Speaker 6: the Bengals.

1467
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:50,240
Speaker 16: Score thirty something and still lose? And just the crop

1468
01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:52,639
Speaker 16: the thought has to be cropping into his head again,

1469
01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:55,280
Speaker 16: here we go again? Is this ever going to change?

1470
01:27:55,320 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 16: It's two years in a row where thirty plus points

1471
01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 16: is not enough to win games, And so I think

1472
01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:03,000
Speaker 16: it's just all kind of building up. And I don't

1473
01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:06,960
Speaker 16: I don't know that there's anything, any specific plan, any

1474
01:28:07,160 --> 01:28:08,720
Speaker 16: method to his madness in terms of the.

1475
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:13,240
Speaker 6: Comments he's putting out there. And the one thing I.

1476
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:15,759
Speaker 16: Do think is legit and I don't think it's lip service,

1477
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:19,599
Speaker 16: is he really does endorse Zach and this coaching staff,

1478
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:23,200
Speaker 16: and I think changes that he would like to see

1479
01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:26,839
Speaker 16: be made would be more in the the the overall

1480
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:29,439
Speaker 16: bigger picture of front office type of thing. But he's

1481
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:33,200
Speaker 16: not gonna, he's not gonna he's not gonna push for

1482
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:35,439
Speaker 16: any specific changes, but he did say he would like

1483
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 16: to be kept abreast of what's going on there.

1484
01:28:38,439 --> 01:28:41,040
Speaker 3: I mean, the thing is Jay when I look at it.

1485
01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:45,080
Speaker 3: Did they have to be better at drafting? Yes, of course, yeah,

1486
01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:47,840
Speaker 3: But I thought the plan was right right, Like, you

1487
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:51,000
Speaker 3: knew Joe's contract was coming up, you knew you needed

1488
01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:53,519
Speaker 3: help on defense. So you go and you get a

1489
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:56,360
Speaker 3: bunch of young guys on defense spread out over two

1490
01:28:56,479 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 3: three drafts, and you hope, like, did you answer your

1491
01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:05,320
Speaker 3: problems that way? And unfortunately they just haven't hit at

1492
01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:07,240
Speaker 3: a high enough rate. I mean, you look at some

1493
01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:09,680
Speaker 3: teams around the NFL. I know the Rams are one

1494
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:11,679
Speaker 3: of them. When you look at their last three drafts,

1495
01:29:11,720 --> 01:29:15,120
Speaker 3: it's like starter, starter, starter, fifth sixth round, starter, starter.

1496
01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:18,240
Speaker 3: And you look at the Bengals and it's like, ugh,

1497
01:29:18,320 --> 01:29:20,800
Speaker 3: I don't know about that guy. Oh they cut that

1498
01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 3: guy like six weeks after they drafted him. Like that's

1499
01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:26,600
Speaker 3: got to be part of the frustration.

1500
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:26,880
Speaker 7: Right.

1501
01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:30,639
Speaker 3: It feels like the plan, what they wanted to do,

1502
01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:35,160
Speaker 3: was right, but the execution of said plan has got

1503
01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:35,839
Speaker 3: to improve.

1504
01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:38,000
Speaker 4: If this situation is going to improve.

1505
01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:40,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, somewhat.

1506
01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:43,400
Speaker 16: But I still go back to free agency, and yeah, this.

1507
01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:44,360
Speaker 6: Is in hindsight.

1508
01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:47,439
Speaker 16: We everybody knew in March they needed to improve it safety,

1509
01:29:47,439 --> 01:29:49,639
Speaker 16: and they didn't sign one, and they didn't draft one.

1510
01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:50,880
Speaker 6: And they needed help.

1511
01:29:50,760 --> 01:29:53,320
Speaker 16: At linebacker and they didn't sign one, and they waited

1512
01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:56,720
Speaker 16: and drafted two and at the second fourth round, and

1513
01:29:56,720 --> 01:29:58,920
Speaker 16: now those guys are starting and going through some serious

1514
01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:02,840
Speaker 16: growing pains. They needed a pass rushing three technique, didn't

1515
01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:06,240
Speaker 16: sign one, didn't draft one, went ahead and signed a

1516
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:11,200
Speaker 16: run stopping defensive tackle. It's just the needs were so glaring,

1517
01:30:11,280 --> 01:30:11,880
Speaker 16: and they just.

1518
01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:13,800
Speaker 6: Blew him off. And part of the reason they blew them.

1519
01:30:13,720 --> 01:30:16,479
Speaker 16: Off is because they tried to hammer every little penny

1520
01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:19,639
Speaker 16: out of the Jamar and Tea contracts, and it carried

1521
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:21,679
Speaker 16: over into free agency and by the time they finally

1522
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:24,360
Speaker 16: got those deals done, So I think that's part of it.

1523
01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:28,320
Speaker 16: I think the front office dragging its feet so often

1524
01:30:28,479 --> 01:30:32,519
Speaker 16: and trying to just bleed every single penny out of

1525
01:30:32,600 --> 01:30:36,240
Speaker 16: every single negotiation, you kind of get away from that

1526
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:39,120
Speaker 16: and just it's a guy. You need a position, you

1527
01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:41,600
Speaker 16: need go get him and you know, maybe take a

1528
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:43,679
Speaker 16: little bit of a hit, maybe overspend a little bit,

1529
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:46,400
Speaker 16: just to get it done and get the plan moving.

1530
01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:47,519
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1531
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:50,840
Speaker 3: I mean that that part has been their mo for

1532
01:30:50,920 --> 01:30:54,800
Speaker 3: so long, and there have been a couple exceptions here

1533
01:30:54,840 --> 01:31:01,840
Speaker 3: and there, but it feels like we've seen this many times.

1534
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:04,120
Speaker 3: I think throughout the years, a lot of times they're

1535
01:31:04,160 --> 01:31:08,240
Speaker 3: one year late, Like they're one year late to realize. Oh, like,

1536
01:31:08,360 --> 01:31:10,519
Speaker 3: if they do it this offseason, it's gonna be one

1537
01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:14,560
Speaker 3: year late because they could have been active and proactive

1538
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:19,080
Speaker 3: last year and change this situation, and instead they waited

1539
01:31:19,080 --> 01:31:22,160
Speaker 3: a year just to just to make sure that they're

1540
01:31:22,240 --> 01:31:24,480
Speaker 3: bad ideas were actually bad ideas.

1541
01:31:25,720 --> 01:31:28,400
Speaker 16: Yeah, And I just like, you know, they knew they

1542
01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:31,200
Speaker 16: were gonna ask genostone to take a pay cut. So

1543
01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:33,920
Speaker 16: that's your plan, is to ask your starting safety to

1544
01:31:33,960 --> 01:31:36,760
Speaker 16: take a pay cut, but not go get help or

1545
01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:38,760
Speaker 16: get somebody that can compete for the job.

1546
01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:39,040
Speaker 1: There.

1547
01:31:39,040 --> 01:31:41,559
Speaker 16: It just it's really head scratching some of the moves.

1548
01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:43,760
Speaker 16: And you can debate whether it's smart or not to

1549
01:31:44,120 --> 01:31:47,479
Speaker 16: sign tee when you've already got Jamar I think you

1550
01:31:47,520 --> 01:31:49,519
Speaker 16: look at what this offense is, and now this offense

1551
01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:51,639
Speaker 16: is set, This entire offense is going to be back

1552
01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:54,719
Speaker 16: next year. So they are set up in that regard.

1553
01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:57,640
Speaker 16: But they've just they need to come up with a

1554
01:31:57,760 --> 01:32:00,320
Speaker 16: real plan this offseason to fix that defense. And they've

1555
01:32:00,320 --> 01:32:02,800
Speaker 16: got the eighth most gap space. They've got money to

1556
01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:06,360
Speaker 16: go out and sign guys in free agency, and they,

1557
01:32:06,800 --> 01:32:08,679
Speaker 16: like you said, they have got to do a better

1558
01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:10,519
Speaker 16: job in the draft this year, and that needs to

1559
01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:12,040
Speaker 16: be a defensive heavy draft.

1560
01:32:12,360 --> 01:32:17,879
Speaker 3: Once again, I know nobody is going to tank. It's

1561
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:21,680
Speaker 3: a taboo word, and players are gonna play hard. But

1562
01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:24,880
Speaker 3: how much of the best interest is it for Cincinnati

1563
01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:27,760
Speaker 3: to lose? What's the range right now? I think they could.

1564
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:31,000
Speaker 3: They could draft anywhere from second to sixteenth, depending on

1565
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:33,559
Speaker 3: how these last three games go. We have seen this

1566
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:37,519
Speaker 3: front office capitalize when they're near the top of the draft.

1567
01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:40,160
Speaker 3: We've seen them really struggle when they're in those those

1568
01:32:40,240 --> 01:32:46,719
Speaker 3: late teens, early twenties, whatever. I'd never I think maybe

1569
01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:49,639
Speaker 3: a Times team should tank, but that's not how players'

1570
01:32:49,720 --> 01:32:52,200
Speaker 3: minds work. I've been around you know enough players to

1571
01:32:52,240 --> 01:32:55,400
Speaker 3: know they're gonna play hard through the end. Does it

1572
01:32:55,479 --> 01:32:57,720
Speaker 3: benefit them if they lose these last three or are

1573
01:32:57,760 --> 01:33:01,840
Speaker 3: two of these last three? How much does it benefit them?

1574
01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:05,320
Speaker 3: I guess I think it definitely does benefit them.

1575
01:33:05,400 --> 01:33:07,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it would help with the draft position.

1576
01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:10,320
Speaker 16: But you know, I know there is the report this

1577
01:33:10,320 --> 01:33:12,479
Speaker 16: week and Zach's got two more years on his contract

1578
01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:13,920
Speaker 16: and he's most likely back.

1579
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:15,880
Speaker 6: But it's not a rubber stamp.

1580
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:19,000
Speaker 16: I mean, if two of the next three games are

1581
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:21,720
Speaker 16: losses and they look like last week against Baltimore, then

1582
01:33:21,960 --> 01:33:24,680
Speaker 16: then maybe this thing does get blown up. And so

1583
01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:27,040
Speaker 16: I don't think that benefits anybody. I know the fans

1584
01:33:27,040 --> 01:33:30,720
Speaker 16: would like to see a change there, but the continuity

1585
01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:33,200
Speaker 16: is important, especially when you got the entire offense coming back.

1586
01:33:33,200 --> 01:33:34,840
Speaker 16: You would think you would want to play caller and

1587
01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:38,280
Speaker 16: the head coach back. I just you're right, you can't

1588
01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:41,559
Speaker 16: thank you can't play NFL football half speed. You're gonna

1589
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:44,400
Speaker 16: get hurt. You're gonna get other people hurt. The players

1590
01:33:44,439 --> 01:33:48,400
Speaker 16: are playing to win. Now when it's ten degrees and

1591
01:33:48,439 --> 01:33:51,320
Speaker 16: the ankles start hurting, and you know, maybe maybe the

1592
01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:53,320
Speaker 16: focus wanes a little bit and the want to is

1593
01:33:53,520 --> 01:33:57,519
Speaker 16: not quite there. You know, go, Yeah, a lot of

1594
01:33:57,640 --> 01:34:01,120
Speaker 16: ankles going down to Miami. The weather's gonna be nice.

1595
01:34:01,280 --> 01:34:04,479
Speaker 16: I do think that they are embarrassed by what happens Sunday.

1596
01:34:04,520 --> 01:34:07,280
Speaker 16: I think they're gonna go down there with something to prove,

1597
01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:11,880
Speaker 16: and not just Miami. But these last three games. Will

1598
01:34:11,880 --> 01:34:15,040
Speaker 16: it have any bearing on carrying momentum into twenty twenty six, I.

1599
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:15,519
Speaker 6: Don't think so.

1600
01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:18,040
Speaker 16: But it'll make them feel a lot better about this

1601
01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:21,240
Speaker 16: season and what the plan can look like moving forward,

1602
01:34:21,280 --> 01:34:23,760
Speaker 16: And especially for those young guys on defense, if they

1603
01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:28,080
Speaker 16: can get some real momentum and some more reps and

1604
01:34:28,120 --> 01:34:31,080
Speaker 16: some more experience, everything's valuable this at the stage for

1605
01:34:31,120 --> 01:34:32,000
Speaker 16: those guys.

1606
01:34:31,720 --> 01:34:33,840
Speaker 6: So yep, it would help.

1607
01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:35,640
Speaker 16: They would definitely get a better draft pick if they

1608
01:34:35,640 --> 01:34:36,360
Speaker 16: lose these games.

1609
01:34:36,360 --> 01:34:37,120
Speaker 6: But I don't think.

1610
01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:40,360
Speaker 16: Anybody in that organization, from front office to coaches to

1611
01:34:40,479 --> 01:34:41,920
Speaker 16: players wants that to happen.

1612
01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:49,360
Speaker 3: Play well and lose. What's that play well and lose? Well,

1613
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:54,040
Speaker 3: yeah there you go. Yeah, yeah, everybody. Everybody feels good

1614
01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:57,479
Speaker 3: about it, and you still improve your draft stock. Well,

1615
01:34:57,840 --> 01:35:00,639
Speaker 3: you've talked about this number a lot this week. Why

1616
01:35:00,760 --> 01:35:05,080
Speaker 3: is this team so bad against rookie quarterbacks? It's insane. H.

1617
01:35:05,080 --> 01:35:07,880
Speaker 16: I have no idea because it's it's I mean, it's

1618
01:35:07,960 --> 01:35:09,840
Speaker 16: all the way back to the start of time for

1619
01:35:09,880 --> 01:35:10,200
Speaker 16: this ranch.

1620
01:35:10,320 --> 01:35:14,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, the whole franchise is bad against rookie quarterbacks.

1621
01:35:14,439 --> 01:35:18,640
Speaker 16: Yeah, different coaches, different, different defensive coordinators, different everything. I

1622
01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:21,720
Speaker 16: think part of it is just the law of averages.

1623
01:35:22,080 --> 01:35:23,559
Speaker 16: This team is bad more.

1624
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:25,559
Speaker 12: Than it's good, and when it's bad, it tends to

1625
01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:29,439
Speaker 12: be really bad. Yeah, and so I think that's a big.

1626
01:35:29,240 --> 01:35:29,680
Speaker 6: Part of it.

1627
01:35:29,760 --> 01:35:34,880
Speaker 16: And you know, they're eight and fourteen against quarterbacks making

1628
01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:38,479
Speaker 16: their NFL starting debuts, and then forget about the starting debut,

1629
01:35:38,560 --> 01:35:42,360
Speaker 16: just rookie quarterbacks in general are twelve and four in

1630
01:35:42,400 --> 01:35:46,120
Speaker 16: the last sixteen, so the quarterbacks are. The Bengals are

1631
01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:48,280
Speaker 16: four and twelve against rookie quarterbacks. So it's and that

1632
01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:51,559
Speaker 16: goes back to mid twenty tens and back to twenty sixteen.

1633
01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:56,439
Speaker 16: So multiple defensive coordinators, multiple coaches, it's just it's a

1634
01:35:56,680 --> 01:35:57,040
Speaker 16: it's a.

1635
01:35:57,000 --> 01:35:59,320
Speaker 6: Stunning number, it really is, and it's kind of.

1636
01:35:59,320 --> 01:36:01,880
Speaker 16: Like covering tide. Just for whatever reason, it's something this

1637
01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:03,880
Speaker 16: franchise has never been able to figure out.

1638
01:36:06,720 --> 01:36:11,240
Speaker 3: Do you think the weather helps getting out of the cold.

1639
01:36:11,439 --> 01:36:15,719
Speaker 3: It looked like they just they were frostbit on Sunday.

1640
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:17,800
Speaker 3: Do you think maybe a week to get down into

1641
01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:20,800
Speaker 3: the nice sun in Miami like refreshes some guys maybe

1642
01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:21,639
Speaker 3: for this stretch run.

1643
01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:25,120
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think so, And I don't think they were

1644
01:36:25,160 --> 01:36:26,920
Speaker 16: alone in that. I think if you were to go

1645
01:36:27,040 --> 01:36:29,879
Speaker 16: back and look at games that were in the teams

1646
01:36:30,040 --> 01:36:34,040
Speaker 16: or single digits, I bet there's very few comebacks like

1647
01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:36,639
Speaker 16: can you fall behind by a score? Get out of here?

1648
01:36:36,760 --> 01:36:39,400
Speaker 16: Like I said, the focus kind of wings and the

1649
01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:41,759
Speaker 16: want to to stick your nose in there and tackle.

1650
01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:43,640
Speaker 16: It's like, let's just get this game over with.

1651
01:36:44,640 --> 01:36:47,360
Speaker 6: So I do think that was a big part of it,

1652
01:36:47,400 --> 01:36:47,680
Speaker 6: and not.

1653
01:36:47,640 --> 01:36:49,599
Speaker 16: An excuse because the Ravens played in that weather.

1654
01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:52,519
Speaker 6: Too, and they just wanted it more and looked like it.

1655
01:36:52,760 --> 01:36:55,160
Speaker 16: But I do think it'll help to go down to

1656
01:36:55,200 --> 01:36:58,160
Speaker 16: Miami and just play a game in good weather and

1657
01:36:58,280 --> 01:37:00,439
Speaker 16: maybe a little too hot, I mean eighty one degrees

1658
01:37:00,479 --> 01:37:03,280
Speaker 16: this time of year. The body is not going to

1659
01:37:03,280 --> 01:37:05,120
Speaker 16: be used to that, and I think hydration is going

1660
01:37:05,200 --> 01:37:07,840
Speaker 16: to be a big factors. I know that's something they're

1661
01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:09,880
Speaker 16: working on this week. You can't wait till the night

1662
01:37:09,920 --> 01:37:10,599
Speaker 16: before the game.

1663
01:37:10,479 --> 01:37:11,160
Speaker 6: To get hydrated.

1664
01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:13,880
Speaker 16: But I do think it'll help to go down there

1665
01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:15,960
Speaker 16: and they can play their best football, especially the way

1666
01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:17,000
Speaker 16: this offensive plays.

1667
01:37:17,439 --> 01:37:20,200
Speaker 6: You want to play in weather like that? Yeah?

1668
01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:23,000

1703
01:39:43,320 --> 01:39:51,519
Speaker 3: Please stand up, please stand up, Please stand up. Closing

1704
01:39:51,560 --> 01:39:54,479
Speaker 3: things out today, close them out with a couple of

1705
01:39:54,520 --> 01:39:58,080
Speaker 3: thoughts on on the Joe Burrows stuff. And we didn't

1706
01:39:58,120 --> 01:40:00,280
Speaker 3: get to Zach Taylor today. I don't know what you

1707
01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:02,439
Speaker 3: want me to say about that. He's got two years

1708
01:40:02,520 --> 01:40:07,479
Speaker 3: left on his contract. As we discovered yesterday, the Bengals

1709
01:40:07,479 --> 01:40:10,680
Speaker 3: are the Bengals. I don't know why they didn't announce

1710
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:15,160
Speaker 3: that they signed Zach Taylor to an extension after the

1711
01:40:15,200 --> 01:40:19,599
Speaker 3: AFC Championship Game. You know, you go to the Super Bowl,

1712
01:40:19,640 --> 01:40:22,120
Speaker 3: you go to the AFC Championship Game, nobody's going to

1713
01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:24,960
Speaker 3: be mad at you for extending your coach. Why was

1714
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:28,200
Speaker 3: that a secret? Why are we just finding out about

1715
01:40:28,200 --> 01:40:33,440
Speaker 3: that three years later? That's weird to me. It's weird.

1716
01:40:34,479 --> 01:40:37,320
Speaker 3: It's your prerogative if you want to do things in silence,

1717
01:40:37,400 --> 01:40:39,080
Speaker 3: and part of the reason you do things in silence

1718
01:40:39,200 --> 01:40:43,040
Speaker 3: is because nobody ever talks. Nobody in the Bengals front

1719
01:40:43,080 --> 01:40:46,680
Speaker 3: office does what twice a year get Duke Tobin at

1720
01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:49,880
Speaker 3: the Combine and you get Mock Turtle Soup Day And

1721
01:40:49,920 --> 01:40:52,080
Speaker 3: those are the two days a year you hear from

1722
01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:55,240
Speaker 3: the people that run the Bengals. So I'm not surprised

1723
01:40:56,400 --> 01:40:59,559
Speaker 3: that he signed a contract extension and we didn't know

1724
01:40:59,600 --> 01:41:04,200
Speaker 3: about it. But why wouldn't you champion that you have

1725
01:41:04,240 --> 01:41:05,560
Speaker 3: a coach that took you to the Super Bowl in

1726
01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:08,120
Speaker 3: the AFC Championship Game in back to back years for

1727
01:41:08,520 --> 01:41:10,599
Speaker 3: one of the worst franchises in the history of sports.

1728
01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:13,360
Speaker 4: Should want to talk about that.

1729
01:41:14,520 --> 01:41:21,160
Speaker 3: But the Burrow stuff, whatever, it is professional, personal whatever

1730
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:23,880
Speaker 3: it is, the Bengals better figure it out and fix it.

1731
01:41:26,160 --> 01:41:30,240
Speaker 3: Because if you think perception is bad about this franchise

1732
01:41:30,400 --> 01:41:37,479
Speaker 3: now in part because of what happened with Carson Palmer, Yeah,

1733
01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:40,680
Speaker 3: number one overall pick. He wasn't a bust, he was

1734
01:41:40,800 --> 01:41:48,920
Speaker 3: very good, and he retired instead of playing. Here they

1735
01:41:48,960 --> 01:41:52,800
Speaker 3: got lucky that the Raiders were desperate and willing to

1736
01:41:52,840 --> 01:41:55,840
Speaker 3: overpay because Carson Palmer said, screw this.

1737
01:41:55,880 --> 01:41:57,519
Speaker 4: I'm out get you a gang.

1738
01:41:57,920 --> 01:42:02,720
Speaker 3: And that's what Carson Palmer's said to Mike Brown, How

1739
01:42:02,760 --> 01:42:05,920
Speaker 3: was my cartman tarn? Was that pretty good? I about

1740
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:07,879
Speaker 3: to stick that to you? Okay, Yeah, I mean it's

1741
01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:13,080
Speaker 3: not a great one. But you know, if that happens again,

1742
01:42:15,360 --> 01:42:20,000
Speaker 3: if you have a generational another generational number one pick,

1743
01:42:20,160 --> 01:42:28,200
Speaker 3: and Joe Burrow's better than Carson Palmer, significantly better if

1744
01:42:28,240 --> 01:42:32,439
Speaker 3: you let it happen again. And we're sitting here at

1745
01:42:32,479 --> 01:42:34,479
Speaker 3: the end of the twenty twenty six or twenty twenty

1746
01:42:34,479 --> 01:42:39,280
Speaker 3: seven season, and Joe Burrow says, I went out and

1747
01:42:39,320 --> 01:42:43,160
Speaker 3: that story hits Joe Burrow demands a trade. Joe Burrow

1748
01:42:43,200 --> 01:42:46,600
Speaker 3: willing to retire instead of playing another snap of the

1749
01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:56,519
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Bengals you're talking irrepairable damage to your franchise. I

1750
01:42:56,560 --> 01:42:57,960
Speaker 3: don't know that you can come back from that.

1751
01:42:59,479 --> 01:43:00,040
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say it.

1752
01:43:01,960 --> 01:43:04,639
Speaker 3: Because guess what, Like you know, everybody was talking about

1753
01:43:05,240 --> 01:43:09,840
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow should decline being drafted number one overall by

1754
01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:14,559
Speaker 3: the Cincinnati Bengals should have decline. Say no, I'm not signing.

1755
01:43:15,640 --> 01:43:18,400
Speaker 3: Whatever the consequences are. The consequences, but I'm not signing

1756
01:43:18,400 --> 01:43:22,439
Speaker 3: with that franchise. We laughed it off. Come on, the

1757
01:43:22,520 --> 01:43:26,680
Speaker 3: Carson Palmer thing was a one off, diva you know

1758
01:43:27,880 --> 01:43:30,600
Speaker 3: nothing to real. But if it happens again with a

1759
01:43:30,680 --> 01:43:33,759
Speaker 3: kid from Ohio that took you to the Super Bowl,

1760
01:43:33,920 --> 01:43:37,800
Speaker 3: took you to the AFC Championship Game, and four five

1761
01:43:37,880 --> 01:43:43,840
Speaker 3: years later that guy once out, I don't know how

1762
01:43:43,880 --> 01:43:47,920
Speaker 3: as a franchise you ever recover. And they're never gonna sell.

1763
01:43:48,040 --> 01:43:53,080
Speaker 3: It's a family business. It's never gonna happen. So whatever

1764
01:43:53,160 --> 01:43:58,240
Speaker 3: it is, whatever is at the root of this, you

1765
01:43:58,280 --> 01:44:03,280
Speaker 3: better figure it out this offseason. If it's ten more

1766
01:44:03,280 --> 01:44:06,599
Speaker 3: scouts in that scouting department, go hire ten more scouts

1767
01:44:06,640 --> 01:44:07,599
Speaker 3: in the scouting department.

1768
01:44:09,320 --> 01:44:10,080
Speaker 5: I'm available.

1769
01:44:11,400 --> 01:44:15,800
Speaker 3: I'm available too. I'm pretty good at it. More basketball

1770
01:44:15,800 --> 01:44:19,280
Speaker 3: than football. I'm pretty good at basketball scouting football. They

1771
01:44:19,280 --> 01:44:24,679
Speaker 3: talk about things like swiveling hips. I'm not watching anybody's

1772
01:44:24,760 --> 01:44:31,880
Speaker 3: hips tearing. I'll watch footwork, I'll watch shot preparation. I'm

1773
01:44:31,880 --> 01:44:35,639
Speaker 3: not watching how anybody's hips swivel. It's not my thing.

1774
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:40,920
Speaker 4: But whatever it is, you better get this figured out.

1775
01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:43,520
Speaker 3: You better get on the same page as Joe Burrow,

1776
01:44:44,240 --> 01:44:46,639
Speaker 3: because this franchise is only as good as Joe Burrow

1777
01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:51,559
Speaker 3: takes them, and even then sometimes it's not good enough.

1778
01:44:51,840 --> 01:44:56,200
Speaker 3: That's gonna do it begos pep rally tomorrow. I'll be

1779
01:44:56,280 --> 01:44:59,479
Speaker 3: in next week a couple times, so we'll see you then.

1780
01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:01,280
Speaker 4: That is the Mowagger Show.

Speaker 3: This says Cincinnati is ESPN in fifteen thirty.
