Speaker 1: This is the West Miller Radio Show, live from the
Speaker 1: original montgomery In, brought to you in part by Skyline
Speaker 1: Chili Feeling good. It's Skyline Time and the original montgomery
Speaker 1: In and the montgomery In at the Boathouse, home of
Speaker 1: the world's Greatest Ribs. Now, here's Dan Horde, Terry Nelson
Speaker 1: and u see's head coach Wes Miller on the Home
Speaker 1: of the Bearcats seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: It is show time, Pretty good man, a very pleasant
Speaker 2: good evening, everybody, Greetings from the original montgomery In, home
Speaker 2: of the world's Greatest ribs.
Speaker 3: Welcome to It's the Wes Miller Radio Show. I'm Dan
Speaker 3: Hort alongside former Bearcats stand out Terry Nelson and the
Speaker 3: star of the show, the head coach of the four
Speaker 3: and oh UC Bearcats. Let's here it for Wes Miller.
Speaker 3: Appreciate the Bearcat fan here with us here tonight at
Speaker 3: the original montgomery In. We've got an exciting game to
Speaker 3: look forward to tomorrow night in downtown Cincinnati Heritage Bank
Speaker 3: Arena six thirty tip as Cincinnati takes on the sixth
Speaker 3: ranked Louisville Cardinals. Is Louisville one of the better offensive
Speaker 3: teams that you face in your tenure at UC.
Speaker 4: It certainly appears that way studying the tape and looking
Speaker 4: at the roster in the way that they're playing. You know,
Speaker 4: it's early in the year, but it certainly appears that
Speaker 4: way going into it.
Speaker 5: Obviously, practices have ramped up leading up into this game,
Speaker 5: and they've been doing it in the progression. It's not
Speaker 5: just the Louisville game, but you could you've been ramping
Speaker 5: it up up until this point a little bit more
Speaker 5: emphasis going into a bigger matchup. Is there a mindset
Speaker 5: that you want your team to take on going into
Speaker 5: this game and every game for that matter.
Speaker 4: Really, Terry, I just want us to go out and
Speaker 4: play the way that we practice and really double down
Speaker 4: on the things that we practice every day, the things
Speaker 4: that we believe in, you know, getting them excited for
Speaker 4: a game like this, that's that's not the challenge. These
Speaker 4: kids are excited. They're excited to play every time the
Speaker 4: ball goes up in the air. But when you're playing
Speaker 4: the sixth rand team in the country and a team
Speaker 4: that a lot of people are picking and win the
Speaker 4: national championship, I think there's going to be some excitement there.
Speaker 4: But really just want us to double down on the
Speaker 4: things that we care about and the things that we
Speaker 4: value every day in practice.
Speaker 3: Loueville is coached by Cincinnati native Pat Kelsey in his
Speaker 3: second year with the Cardinals. You two have apparently known
Speaker 3: each other for a long time, correct.
Speaker 4: Yeah, since I was in high school. He was at
Speaker 4: Wake Forest working for Skip Prosser through the recruiting process there.
Speaker 4: And yeah, we've been, you know, the same coaching circles
Speaker 4: for a really long time. Somebody I consider a friend,
Speaker 4: Noah's family here in Cincinnati, comes from a terrific family,
Speaker 4: really nice people that I've had the pleasure to get
Speaker 4: to know. But I thin I'm sure Pat would say
Speaker 4: this too. We're friends and all that kind of stuff,
Speaker 4: And I don't think it'll matter when the ball goes up, right,
Speaker 4: I think both of us, our competitors are going to
Speaker 4: want to explain.
Speaker 5: What the grind is like, because neither one of you
Speaker 5: were an associate or head coach at a major program
Speaker 5: and walk into a major program. You had to grind
Speaker 5: your way up from the bottom, build programs up in
Speaker 5: order to get to the place that you are right now.
Speaker 6: What is that like for both of you? Guys.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I don't I can't speak for him,
Speaker 4: but gosh, I mean, you know, we scrimmaged against each
Speaker 4: other back when he was at Winthrop and I was
Speaker 4: at Greensboro, and that seems like ages ago now it
Speaker 4: wasn't that long ago. And then we played against each
Speaker 4: other once during COVID I think when he was at
Speaker 4: went through and then he went on to Charleston and
Speaker 4: did a nice job there. Now Louisville and I came here,
Speaker 4: but yeah, we were Division one head coaches down and
Speaker 4: basically the same area. He was in rock Hill, South Carolina,
Speaker 4: which a couple hours from where I was in Greensboro,
Speaker 4: North Carolinas for a long time, and like you said,
Speaker 4: we had known each other long before we were both
Speaker 4: head coaches.
Speaker 5: What's the difference between North Carolina and South Carolina?
Speaker 4: That'd be besides the border. I don't want to get
Speaker 4: any trouble this to night. You know, There's some things
Speaker 4: I could say, but I'm gonna keep it mild tonight.
Speaker 4: But there's there's a lot of difference. Actually, but rock Hills,
Speaker 4: South Carolina, Okay, if we're gonna get into geography tonight,
Speaker 4: that's a suburb of Charlotte, so they can in some
Speaker 4: ways claim Charlotte North Carolina. There's a lot of differences
Speaker 4: between the two states, for sure.
Speaker 3: When Tanel said what's the difference between North Carolina and
Speaker 3: South Carolina? I thought it was the set up to
Speaker 3: a joke. I thought there was going to be a
Speaker 3: punch in.
Speaker 4: What's the difference between Southern California and Northern California?
Speaker 6: So you guys are stronger in Southern California. Just you know,
Speaker 6: you're about our business.
Speaker 5: We got those knuckles, we don't we don't have to
Speaker 5: pull the stuff out. I'm just saying, ask Corey Blunt,
Speaker 5: who's in the audience.
Speaker 6: Over here, Yes he is.
Speaker 3: So you have a McDonald's All American freshman on your roster,
Speaker 3: and Seanna Bayev and Louisville has one in MIKEL Brown
Speaker 3: was taking a look at ESPN mocked NBA draft for
Speaker 3: next year, and he's projected to be the sixth pick
Speaker 3: in next year next year's draft. I know you saw
Speaker 3: him play in international competition this past summer. Tell us
Speaker 3: a little bit about their young freshman mike Kel Brown
Speaker 3: in coaching.
Speaker 4: I think a lot of us have seen him play
Speaker 4: for a long time, because it feels like he was
Speaker 4: playing on the Adidas circuit in the seventeen and under
Speaker 4: bracket when he was like fourteen. I mean, seriously, he's
Speaker 4: one of the youngest players I ever saw play at
Speaker 4: that stage in grassroots basketball. So he's been a guy
Speaker 4: that we've been familiar with, all of us in coaching
Speaker 4: for a long long time because you saw this guy
Speaker 4: out there at thirteen, fourteen, whatever, he was years old
Speaker 4: playing against the best players, and there were three or
Speaker 4: four classes ahead of him, and he always stood out.
Speaker 4: And now he's not the guy that's, you know, shorter
Speaker 4: and skinnier than everybody. He's a six to five guard.
Speaker 4: I watched him with the U nineteen US team win
Speaker 4: a World championship this summer. I was over there recruiting
Speaker 4: in Switzerland, and I thought he was the best player
Speaker 4: in the entire event. He's a terrific player. I think
Speaker 4: anybody that watches watched Louisville play, or will watch him play,
Speaker 4: will see all that. And so he's a guy that
Speaker 4: will have to do a nice job on.
Speaker 5: The mar Without giving away your scouting report, obviously, there's
Speaker 5: some things that stood out in your initial assessment of
Speaker 5: how are you going to attack this team? What are
Speaker 5: some things that what is one thing that stood out
Speaker 5: about this team that you said, man, we gotta we gotta,
Speaker 5: we gotta get a handle with this or else it
Speaker 5: can be a long night.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's quite a bit. I mean, I think you
Speaker 4: look at they might be the number one ranked offense
Speaker 4: on ken Pom right now, you don't. You don't have
Speaker 4: the best analytical offensive numbers in the country. If there
Speaker 4: aren't multiple things right, it's it's not that simple. But
Speaker 4: the way that they shoot the ball is very dangerous,
Speaker 4: and it's it's not just you know, one or two
Speaker 4: guys that their whole team shoots it. I said this
Speaker 4: on on the radio. Again this is out of out
Speaker 4: of the compliment, but they have four peri players, all
Speaker 4: guards that if on I think they could be on
Speaker 4: almost any other team in the country and they'd all
Speaker 4: be the number one option on that team. And they
Speaker 4: have four of them all right, So not just the shooting,
Speaker 4: but the playmaking it stands out there. They're great in transition,
Speaker 4: they're great when they get an offensive rebound at getting
Speaker 4: to that three point line quickly. But there's a number
Speaker 4: of things that make them good, which is why they're
Speaker 4: having such success to start the year.
Speaker 3: This is the one hundred and first meeting between Cincinnati
Speaker 3: and Louisville. Over the years, it's been an awesome rivalry.
Speaker 3: You'll play this year at Heritage Bank Center, next year
Speaker 3: at Freedom Hall. Would you like this to be an
Speaker 3: annual thing?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. I think you know, Listen, I've
Speaker 4: talked about or non conference scheduling many times. We want
Speaker 4: to play quality opponents. We want to play in great
Speaker 4: atmospheres in front of our fans here in Cincinnati or
Speaker 4: on the road. We want to make sure we test
Speaker 4: our team early in the year. We want to make
Speaker 4: sure we have the opportunity to build the tournament resume.
Speaker 4: Louisville checks all those boxes, and then you add that
Speaker 4: there's history here with the two programs, going back to
Speaker 4: the Metro days or when I was growing up, the
Speaker 4: Conference USA days. So I think it does make a
Speaker 4: lot of sense, and it's something we'll try to continue,
Speaker 4: at least on the Cincinnati end.
Speaker 6: You get to have time regardless of the score.
Speaker 5: How do you know your team is playing Cincinnati Bearcat basketball?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I think for us, it's all the things that you
Speaker 4: can do to evaluate effort first, you know, like the
Speaker 4: effort and the toughness plays. Some of that you can
Speaker 4: tell with the eye. I think you guys all know that.
Speaker 4: I always think that, like the plays on the ball
Speaker 4: are the ways that you can see it the way
Speaker 4: we stat and whether that's blocks or deflections or steals
Speaker 4: or loose balls or we call like chess to the
Speaker 4: ball plays. You know those those you know you can't
Speaker 4: play and have a significant amount of plays on the ball,
Speaker 4: so that goes hand in hand. I think that the
Speaker 4: rebounding is an area that you can always kind of
Speaker 4: tell that that'll be a big thing to watch. They're
Speaker 4: a good rebounding team. We want to be a great
Speaker 4: rebounding team. So those are some of the areas, But
Speaker 4: there always is an eye test, like we had to
Speaker 4: play in our last game against Mount Saint Mary's where
Speaker 4: there's like a fifty to fifty ball bouncing on the
Speaker 4: floor and Dade Thomas just kind of ate the floor
Speaker 4: up with his chest eight feet away. Yeah, and I
Speaker 4: think those are the plays that tell you whether you
Speaker 4: came to compete or not, and who's making those plays.
Speaker 4: I know Louisville's a team that's gonna they're gonna value
Speaker 4: those things too, and they're gonna want to make those plays.
Speaker 4: We're gonna want to make those plays. Who's winning that battle,
Speaker 4: I think is very important.
Speaker 3: It's the Paracats against the Cardinals tomorrow night at six
Speaker 3: point thirty again at Heritage Bank Center in downtown Cincinnati.
Speaker 3: Will take a time out, it's more with Coach Miller
Speaker 3: when we continue. This is the West Miller Radio Show.
Speaker 3: We're live with the original Montgomery Yeah, and the whole
Speaker 3: of the World's Greatest Rips on seven hundred WLW. We
Speaker 3: are back at the original Montgomery in home of the
Speaker 3: World's Greatest Rips and the West Miller Radio Show here
Speaker 3: on news Radio seven hundred WLW. Getting you set for
Speaker 3: Cincinnati versus Louisville tomorrow night at six thirty. The Bearcats
Speaker 3: have another home game on Monday night. We've got bear
Speaker 3: Cat football coming up on Saturday night at eight o'clock
Speaker 3: against BYU. So it's going to be a very busy
Speaker 3: next few days for UC sports fans. I'm gonna talk
Speaker 3: a little bit about Dade Thomas and his shooting two
Speaker 3: years ago wasn't very good from outside the arc. Last
Speaker 3: year he was good pushed his numbers up over forty
Speaker 3: percent so far this year in four games two for five,
Speaker 3: four for seven, two for three, three for three. That's
Speaker 3: sixty one percent. Number one in the Big Twelve. Now,
Speaker 3: he's not going to shoot sixty one percent for the year.
Speaker 3: But how did he go from being not very good
Speaker 3: two years ago to being outstanding now?
Speaker 4: Well, I think number one his two years ago, the
Speaker 4: year you're referencing, he was a first year Division one
Speaker 4: player and a first year Big twelve player. Right, He's
Speaker 4: coming from junior college and that's not as big of
Speaker 4: a transition some you know, we got people in this
Speaker 4: in the room here that played junior college basketball. That's
Speaker 4: different than high school, but it's still a major transition.
Speaker 4: And so he could shoot it in junior college. He
Speaker 4: went to the junior college National Championship when he was
Speaker 4: playing for Kilgore, and and he could shoot it. Then,
Speaker 4: he could shoot it his first year here. But I
Speaker 4: think a couple of things. One he needed to settle
Speaker 4: into the level and the difference in the game. And
Speaker 4: then two, he's he works like crazy, guys like he's
Speaker 4: absolute machine, lives in the gym. He was one of
Speaker 4: those guys early on we had we had to make
Speaker 4: rules about not letting him in the gym too much
Speaker 4: to get him off of his feet. Seriously, Oh, no question.
Speaker 4: Sean of BIA's like that now. Like I FaceTime Sean
Speaker 4: a couple of last night, I face timed him to
Speaker 4: check in on him. I was sitting in my office
Speaker 4: and I'd been hard on him in practice, and I
Speaker 4: face timed him to check in on him, and he
Speaker 4: didn't answer the face time, and I said, well, there's
Speaker 4: only two explanations. He's either sleeping or he's in the gym.
Speaker 4: So I walk down to the gym and he's in
Speaker 4: there shooting. I mean, we've had the he's in there
Speaker 4: too much. Dade was like that, but I think Dada's
Speaker 4: work ethic and then obviously adjusting the level. I mean,
Speaker 4: it's cool to watch a guy for a three year period.
Speaker 5: Mastapha Chim's a guy that has been outstanding in the paint,
Speaker 5: patrolling the paint.
Speaker 6: His offensive game has gotten better.
Speaker 5: Two years ago or last year, he shot sixty seven
Speaker 5: percent from the free throw line.
Speaker 6: This year he's got off to a slow start at.
Speaker 5: Forty eight percent. Is it technique or is it just
Speaker 5: a different feel? Like, what is the issue with not
Speaker 5: getting the rhythm so far early in the season.
Speaker 4: Well, I think, you know, first off, he's getting to
Speaker 4: the free throw line, which I'm really happy with. Correct
Speaker 4: he's getting fouled. You know, he's a guy that in
Speaker 4: his I wouldn't even call it a freshman year. He
Speaker 4: was supposed to be a high school senior year last year.
Speaker 4: But he was really young last year playing at this level,
Speaker 4: and he was floating around a little bit. And we've
Speaker 4: asked him to really try to take that seven to
Speaker 4: two frame, which he's added twenty some pounds too, and
Speaker 4: being packful physically in the box on every possession. It's
Speaker 4: not where I want it to be yet, but he's
Speaker 4: improving there and you can see him getting fouled getting
Speaker 4: to the free throw line. He'll make. She's a good shooter,
Speaker 4: he's got terrific touch. He's actually a very good three
Speaker 4: point shooter. I've really asked him not to be out
Speaker 4: there shooting as much that I want him at the rim.
Speaker 4: I want the presence in the box, but there is
Speaker 4: going to be some opportunity for him to get out
Speaker 4: and stretch and shoot threes. I say all that because
Speaker 4: he can shoot, So I'm not worried about what it
Speaker 4: says after a couple games. I think over a significant
Speaker 4: period of time, his shooting numbers will be just fine.
Speaker 3: He's put on good weight since coming to Cincinnati. Kirk
Speaker 3: Crisa has reduced his weight. He had a foot injury
Speaker 3: last year at Kentucky's hard to exercise, gained a few pounds.
Speaker 3: He's in tip top shape.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 3: How has that impacted his defense?
Speaker 4: He was in the weight room that they're showing his
Speaker 4: abs off to everybody.
Speaker 6: I remember those days.
Speaker 3: I was going to say something you will never see me.
Speaker 3: Do You never have to worry about walking into the
Speaker 3: pitness room and a hotel that we're at and being
Speaker 3: exposed to that. I can promise you.
Speaker 4: It's because when I walk into the hotel we're at,
Speaker 4: I see you at the at the bar drinking.
Speaker 3: I pa or possible guilty as Joe.
Speaker 4: But no, he's he had a good summer. You know,
Speaker 4: A curse said it. I want to have a great,
Speaker 4: a great senior year. I know I need to commit
Speaker 4: myself to my work and to my body. And I
Speaker 4: think it started. It didn't happen here recently. It started
Speaker 4: this summer and and Mike Rayfelt is the right guy.
Speaker 4: If you want to commit yourself, he can give you
Speaker 4: the right plan. So yeah, those two did nice job
Speaker 4: working together.
Speaker 6: You know, you got one of the premier defenders. And
Speaker 6: Sincere Harris.
Speaker 5: How do you keep him on the floor without filing
Speaker 5: and in ways that are not necessarily him you know,
Speaker 5: meeting at the rim or whatever, it's like in the
Speaker 5: back cord, he's going for his steel. How do you
Speaker 5: keep him on the floor because he's impactful when he's
Speaker 5: in the game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think with Sincere or but you know, we
Speaker 4: call him buck or he wants to be called Buck.
Speaker 4: I think so we call him Buck. But I think
Speaker 4: with him, there's it's it's a delicate act. You can't
Speaker 4: take away his aggression, like he needs to be he
Speaker 4: needs to be himself. He's a bearcat man, like you
Speaker 4: got to let him go out there and make his
Speaker 4: mark on both ends, and he needs some freedom to
Speaker 4: do that. So we give him some freedom defensively to
Speaker 4: do things we wouldn't let other guys do. And I
Speaker 4: think over time that's gonna pay dividends. Same thing offensively,
Speaker 4: he's so important to our attack and transition. He's so
Speaker 4: important downhill. He's worked really hard on his shots, so
Speaker 4: he'll be able to make the good ones this year.
Speaker 4: I think over time they'll have to guard him a
Speaker 4: little more than they have in the past. But he's
Speaker 4: got to continue to be able to have that aggression
Speaker 4: and that freedom and continue to get more disciplined, right
Speaker 4: so to do it without fouling, without getting beat, sometimes
Speaker 4: taking too many chances, to be as aggressive as he
Speaker 4: can be on offense, but continue to get better with
Speaker 4: his decision making. I think that's that's the conversations that
Speaker 4: him and I are having.
Speaker 3: I prefer the Bucks stops here to Buck team now.
Speaker 3: I love it for his defense. I'll say this about him.
Speaker 3: He is fearless. Yes, that's one word that stands out
Speaker 3: about his play on the court.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, there's yeah, there's there's uh, he's not he's
Speaker 4: He's definitely fear That's a great way to say it.
Speaker 4: I could say other things, but that that's probably pretty
Speaker 4: good there.
Speaker 5: Dan Georgia Tech had Carl Brown back in the day
Speaker 5: with Lead the weapon three guy came off the bench.
Speaker 5: He was the defensive Stalworth. None of the guys in
Speaker 5: the Star lineup can play defense. He came in the
Speaker 5: game and changed the momentum. I know you like the
Speaker 5: historian part of me, Dan, but.
Speaker 6: I love those leads.
Speaker 4: One of those guys, I like that lead at the
Speaker 4: Weapon three team. Yes, that was also Kenny Anderson.
Speaker 6: Yes for good, Scott, yes good.
Speaker 3: So. In the win over Mount Saint Mary's last Sunday,
Speaker 3: Tyler McKinley played very briefly. He was having a little
Speaker 3: knee discomfort and nothing that was thought to be too
Speaker 3: serious going forward.
Speaker 4: But how is he doing. He's done well, He's practiced
Speaker 4: the last two days. Looked like himself again. I'll tell
Speaker 4: you what. When Tyler says, hey, I don't feel right, man,
Speaker 4: I react to that, and I think our entire staff
Speaker 4: and our training staff does because he's the guy that
Speaker 4: overdoes it. You know you've been you guys have both
Speaker 4: been in practice. I mean he's hyperactive and he tries
Speaker 4: to do everything you ask. As a coach, if they
Speaker 4: were all like Tyler McKinley, coaching would be really easy, guys.
Speaker 4: I mean he's the easiest guy to coach. Anyways, when
Speaker 4: he said that, that concerned me. But I think he's okay.
Speaker 4: I think he's had a nice couple of days of
Speaker 4: treatment and then had a good couple days of practice.
Speaker 5: You got a guy and Boba Miller that has so
Speaker 5: many talents and abilities, it's like you have to choose,
Speaker 5: how are you going to use him? Because he rebounds
Speaker 5: the ball so well, he's fantastic in transition, he's an
Speaker 5: excellent passer. It's almost like, Okay, we can put him
Speaker 5: on with different lineups, but how do we feature him
Speaker 5: and not over use him in certain situations.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've said this a lot in the summer in
Speaker 4: the fall, and I think we're still in this process.
Speaker 4: But Baba is one of the most unique players that
Speaker 4: I've ever been around, because he can do everything. But
Speaker 4: that that can be tricky because if you if you
Speaker 4: let him or you set it up where he's just
Speaker 4: out there doing everything, then he's never doing anything excellent. So, like,
Speaker 4: what are the areas that we can choose to focus
Speaker 4: on and put him in those positions and work in
Speaker 4: this skill development every day that he can do over
Speaker 4: and over and over again, because you can get caught
Speaker 4: into there's nothing he can't do. And again that we
Speaker 4: did this thing in the summer that Bob and I
Speaker 4: kept saying Okay, every two weeks, we're gonna do something
Speaker 4: completely different, because I just want to see I want
Speaker 4: to see what it looks like. Except for two weeks
Speaker 4: of practice, he'd play this position and he would have
Speaker 4: these rules, and then we'd go two weeks of practice
Speaker 4: and we do something different. In every two weeks, I'd
Speaker 4: learned something new and I go, that wasn't as good
Speaker 4: as I thought, But last week it was better. And
Speaker 4: it's one of the reasons I went over to Spain
Speaker 4: to watch him play with the national team, which really
Speaker 4: helped because I got to see him in a completely
Speaker 4: different environment, used a different way. Washington practice with two
Speaker 4: different teams, the senior team and then the younger team,
Speaker 4: and anyway, it's been this process. I think we're still
Speaker 4: in it, but we've come a long way, and I
Speaker 4: think we're utilizing them in a way that he feels
Speaker 4: really confident and he can continue to grow.
Speaker 3: He was his team's leading rebounder last year, but he
Speaker 3: only averaged seven a game. He's had at least ten
Speaker 3: in all four of your games so far this year.
Speaker 3: Has that been a pleasant surprise or did you think
Speaker 3: with another year of experience and work with the Mike
Speaker 3: Rayfeld that he could be a double digit rebounder.
Speaker 4: Well, listen, if you want to endear yourself to me
Speaker 4: as a player, go get ten rebounds a night, high bettle.
Speaker 4: So I hope that I want that to continue, and
Speaker 4: I think he can do even better. But yeah, I
Speaker 4: think when we scouted him and a lot of people have,
Speaker 4: you kind of feel like there's still a lot there.
Speaker 4: Even the success that he had last year, there's still
Speaker 4: a lot there. There's a lot more that you can
Speaker 4: and I think he thinks that, and so I think
Speaker 4: that was one of the things that attracted us to him.
Speaker 4: And one of the reasons he was excited about us
Speaker 4: is because when I met with him the first time,
Speaker 4: of course I told him the things that I liked,
Speaker 4: but I was like, I don't even think you're scratching
Speaker 4: the surface, and you know, this is our plan and
Speaker 4: that kind of thing, And I think that resonated with Baba.
Speaker 3: When he originally went to Florida State, he was touted
Speaker 3: at the time as maybe the best NBA prospect among
Speaker 3: the young European players that could come to the US.
Speaker 3: Did you see him at that stage? Did you get
Speaker 3: to see him when he was you know, four years ago,
Speaker 3: just starting out.
Speaker 4: You know, it's interesting because it was all around the
Speaker 4: COVID time and I had not seen him, and generally
Speaker 4: I've seen the best European players because I traveled to
Speaker 4: some international events every summer. But I was very well
Speaker 4: aware of him and i'd seen tape, and I don't
Speaker 4: think that surprises anybody because you see a six to
Speaker 4: eleven guy that was running and jumping like like that
Speaker 4: with the skill that he has. But if the light
Speaker 4: bulb has come on in a lot of ways here
Speaker 4: and it's got to continue, and I think he can
Speaker 4: continue to grow. But he's playing with a force and
Speaker 4: an aggression that I don't think people have been able
Speaker 4: to see him play with consistently, And that's our goals
Speaker 4: for him to play with that force and aggression consistently.
Speaker 5: You mentioned Seana Bib's work ethic. It's like you're only
Speaker 5: getting the first drawer in the dresser. Like he's got
Speaker 5: so many tools in his toolbox. We're seeing the three
Speaker 5: point shot, We're seeing him getting filed once a game
Speaker 5: on a three point shot.
Speaker 6: It seems like when I.
Speaker 5: Was watching in practice, he's got so many other tools
Speaker 5: that have yet to be unleashed in a game setting.
Speaker 6: What are you looking forward to about.
Speaker 4: His game everything? I mean, you know, I think he
Speaker 4: could be one of our best passing and create creating players.
Speaker 6: And you're hard on him in the practice, which I love.
Speaker 4: I actually asked this question the other day to a
Speaker 4: bunch of different people. I said, who my hardest onctice.
Speaker 4: I got the same answer from everybody, Shawn number one
Speaker 4: and bo I'm not sorry Mustafa number two. And then
Speaker 4: I said, well, that's the greatest compliment I could give
Speaker 4: two players. You know, that means I think a lot
Speaker 4: of them, and I think that they could be great.
Speaker 4: But I am very hard on both of them. But
Speaker 4: that's because they're young, and I think that they're they're
Speaker 4: just scratching the surface how great they could be this season.
Speaker 4: And so it's like not about where they are now,
Speaker 4: it's where can they be in January, February, March. And
Speaker 4: I think those two could be two or three times
Speaker 4: where they are now if we keep working at it
Speaker 4: the right way.
Speaker 3: All Right, we've reached the halfway point of the West
Speaker 3: Miller Radio Show. Will take a time out questions from
Speaker 3: the audience when we continue. We're live at the Reginal
Speaker 3: Montgomery In, home of the world's greatest ribs, seven hundred
Speaker 3: w all double. We are back at the Reginal Montgomery In,
Speaker 3: home of the world's greatest ribs and the West Miller
Speaker 3: Radio Show. Thank you to the Bearcat fans who are
Speaker 3: with us tonight. We've got Bearcat basketball coming up tomorrow
Speaker 3: night at six thirty seven six thirty Tomorrow night the
Speaker 3: Heritage Bank Center, four and Oh Bearcats taking on the
Speaker 3: sixth four and OH Louisville Cardinals. Our radio coach will
Speaker 3: start at six tomorrow night time for questions from the audience,
Speaker 3: our guy Elliott is in the house and has the
Speaker 3: mic in his hand.
Speaker 7: Uh So this is more like a I guess holiday's question.
Speaker 7: But for the players, I don't live close to home.
Speaker 7: Do you guys do like holidays with them?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 7: Do you have like Thanksgiving with the players and the
Speaker 7: other coaching staff?
Speaker 4: The Thanksgiving will be with the entire team. What fifty
Speaker 4: people at our house for Thanksgiving? The entire program, entire team.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my eyes went right to Lauren to see her
Speaker 3: reaction to that. She's laughing, she's smiling, so she doesn't
Speaker 3: seem upset.
Speaker 4: She it's like her Super Bowl okay, and it used
Speaker 4: to be catered before Lauren was in the pictures.
Speaker 5: Now Loan actually invited me this year since I've never
Speaker 5: been invited by you.
Speaker 6: So is out of your hands. Brother, I'm a ton
Speaker 6: of staying it on social media. I'm hungry.
Speaker 4: She can really she can really cook terry, but she
Speaker 4: doesn't have great judgment if she invites you to deal
Speaker 4: the uh but no, and then some of some of
Speaker 4: the coaches significant others and wives also pitching and help.
Speaker 4: So it's a it's always a pretty neat deal with
Speaker 4: that'll be next week and then Christmas. We do give
Speaker 4: the guys a break at Christmas, and if somebody doesn't
Speaker 4: have family, we always offer our homes for them as well.
Speaker 4: But usually people can find family at Christmas time.
Speaker 3: So you'll kick back with a group of fifty one
Speaker 3: now including Tell and watch the Bengals beat Lamar Jackson
Speaker 3: in the Baltimore Ravens. It's gonna be a great night.
Speaker 3: Come on, tell how he's a Ravens fan. Now, all right, Dave,
Speaker 3: you're up.
Speaker 8: Hey, coach, So I have a really pressing question that
Speaker 8: the whole city wants to know. Well, Joe Burrow play
Speaker 8: on side side.
Speaker 6: I can hive in on that one.
Speaker 4: You're asking, you're asking the wrong guy. This is a
Speaker 4: Dan Horde question.
Speaker 6: Do you know who you is?
Speaker 3: He has a Joe Burrow jersey. I've seen him in
Speaker 3: his number nine Joe Burrow.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, guys, I'm all in. When I've
Speaker 4: moved to Cincinnati. I'm not one somebody that comes in
Speaker 4: like one foot in, one foot out. I've been a
Speaker 4: Bangles and Reds fan since day one. I'm even an
Speaker 4: e FC Cincinnati fan. So heck, yeah, I know Joe
Speaker 4: Burrow is I just do I do want Joe Burrow
Speaker 4: to come to a Bearcat basketball game. I will say
Speaker 4: that on him.
Speaker 8: Okay, it's been put out there, so ramp up the
Speaker 8: security here you go. So my real question was about
Speaker 8: the care Source series that we've obviously played in with
Speaker 8: the last three years. We've got the away version next year.
Speaker 8: Is that something that's gonna continue to happen going forward?
Speaker 8: And is that something just with us or does that
Speaker 8: happen elsewhere in the country.
Speaker 4: I think as you look around the country, like right now,
Speaker 4: I think you'll see neutral games everywhere. I think you're
Speaker 4: seeing more neutral games now than you're seeing home and
Speaker 4: home games. There's a lot of reasons for that that. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and I appreciate the sponsors and the people that are
Speaker 4: sponsored games we've played in. Generally, people that are doing
Speaker 4: that are sponsoring other games as well.
Speaker 6: So you're putting away your Cam Newton jersey.
Speaker 4: I was never I was never a Panthers fan when
Speaker 4: Cam Newton was playing. I was a Panthers fan back
Speaker 4: in the Jake Dell home days. If we want to
Speaker 4: really be honest and accurate here in the augural season,
Speaker 4: this is years and years.
Speaker 9: Ago, coach, you have what's considered a pretty fast, uh,
Speaker 9: pretty fast offense.
Speaker 4: You're you're you're moving pretty quick. I'm hearing that Louisville's faster.
Speaker 9: So I feel like I've heard back in the day,
Speaker 9: teams like to press, don't like to be pressed. How
Speaker 9: do you feel about trying to cover a team that
Speaker 9: is pretty quick on offense. Is that something that you're
Speaker 9: prepared for because you're trying to do it or is
Speaker 9: it a difficulty?
Speaker 4: Had a reporter in a press conference a couple of
Speaker 4: days ago asked me, you know who's faster? You guys
Speaker 4: are Louisville. Who's going to be fast from the game,
Speaker 4: and I'll give you my answer. I don't care. I'm
Speaker 4: not trying to win any competition. It's not the game.
Speaker 4: I mean our our competitions on the scoreboard. Playing with
Speaker 4: pace is something that is a part of the identity
Speaker 4: of our team and our style of play, and so
Speaker 4: when we go out there and play, I'm evaluating our pace.
Speaker 4: I'm not evaluating anybody else's, right, are we playing with
Speaker 4: our pace? Our way? Just to clarify that, I don't
Speaker 4: think that's what you said, but you know, Louisville's got
Speaker 4: some similar identity in that way, so that should make
Speaker 4: for a fun up and down game. But there's not
Speaker 4: more a whole lot more to it than that, Right,
Speaker 4: We're going to try to play our way with our pace,
Speaker 4: the way that we practice, and then we'll adjust to
Speaker 4: the things that happened throughout the game.
Speaker 10: Chris, Yeah, thanks, Hey, thanks coach. Question for you, you know,
Speaker 10: looking at the stats and know your data guy and
Speaker 10: analytic guy, you know, Louisville's turn the ball over ten
Speaker 10: times and average per game, we're at about sixteen point
Speaker 10: three Dayton Dayton's. Dayton's attacked us, you know, they attacked us,
Speaker 10: forced us into twenty four turnovers.
Speaker 6: You know, given the pace of play.
Speaker 10: To the follow up in that question, you know, turnovers
Speaker 10: have come from open court turnovers and things like that,
Speaker 10: how do you focus on, you know, controlling the ball
Speaker 10: and and and you know the fact that the game
Speaker 10: obviously the pace of play, but how do you kind
Speaker 10: of protect against the turnovers and the problems that we've
Speaker 10: had with the with the press.
Speaker 4: So we we've stated like every turnover this year and
Speaker 4: where they're coming from. And there's frustrating part is there's
Speaker 4: not like a consistent spot, right. Some of them have
Speaker 4: been footwork turnovers. We've had some turnovers screening and setting
Speaker 4: illegal screens. We've had some turnovers we try to catch
Speaker 4: the ball with one hand, right, which if you come
Speaker 4: to any of our workouts in the summer, practices were
Speaker 4: pretty crazy about catching it with two hands. You know,
Speaker 4: some of them not that many, but some were forced
Speaker 4: by maybe some pressure. Some were just careless, you know,
Speaker 4: handling the ball. Like there hasn't been like one thing
Speaker 4: that you can say when this happens, we're turning the
Speaker 4: ball over. I think, you know, number one, we'll get better.
Speaker 4: We're not going to be a team that has a
Speaker 4: turnover problem for the whole year. We have good decision makers,
Speaker 4: good skilled players. Number two, it's not pace of play,
Speaker 4: like there will be some turnovers with the faster pace
Speaker 4: of play, but that's not why we have sixteen a game.
Speaker 4: You know, maybe we have some, but it's not the
Speaker 4: result of sixteen a game. So anyway, we got to
Speaker 4: continue to clean it up. I think that the dating game,
Speaker 4: let's hope that's the complete that's as worse as it
Speaker 4: gets type of thing. But we'll continue to clean it up.
Speaker 4: And I don't think our pace is going to be
Speaker 4: the reason we have lots of turnovers. At least it
Speaker 4: shouldn't because we don't see that in our practices every day.
Speaker 11: Next question, So, coach, this team is scary scary good.
Speaker 11: They haven't shown it yet, but the bar As are
Speaker 11: scary scary good. When you go back and look at
Speaker 11: the last four games and you actually look at the
Speaker 11: teams that we've played. Mount Saint Mary's took Maryland overtime
Speaker 11: last night and almost won that game. Dayton won last night,
Speaker 11: so they were Marquette at Marquette. So they're good teams.
Speaker 11: Where do you see the ceiling prior to the Big twelve,
Speaker 11: because that's where we need to get to. And then
Speaker 11: where do you see us going into the Big twelve?
Speaker 11: Because the Big twelve is scary good again this year?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Thanks, I think, yeah. Mount Saint Mary's. So last night
Speaker 4: I was trying to find it on TV. They're up
Speaker 4: four with twenty seconds left at Maryland and I still
Speaker 4: don't know how the game went to overtime because you
Speaker 4: couldn't find it. You just were looking at this tracker
Speaker 4: on ESPN and I went, how does that happen? They're
Speaker 4: up four with the ball I think with twenty seconds left.
Speaker 4: But anyway, No, I think my goal for our team
Speaker 4: is to focus on growth and improvement every day. Like
Speaker 4: people think, that's coach speaker, that's dodging a question, and
Speaker 4: I said, I said it to my guys in practice today.
Speaker 4: I do not care right now, in this moment, I
Speaker 4: do not care about the game tomorrow night. I only
Speaker 4: care about us getting better. That's it. It's that simple.
Speaker 4: And we talk about getting better every day and winning
Speaker 4: the details every day. That's it. I think if we
Speaker 4: can really adopt that mindset, I think we can be
Speaker 4: the scary good type of team that you're talking about
Speaker 4: over there when when it really matters in the second
Speaker 4: half of the year in the league play. I really
Speaker 4: do believe that. I see that, I see stretches of that.
Speaker 4: I see the right group of players for that. But
Speaker 4: we have to do our part to make it happen.
Speaker 4: In terms of evaluating we have to be there in
Speaker 4: two weeks or three, I don't think of it that
Speaker 4: way because we're gonna we're gonna work out it every
Speaker 4: day to become a great team. We're gonna become a
Speaker 4: great team. But it's not gonna be completely in near
Speaker 4: It's not like we're gonna take a step in terms
Speaker 4: of result everything. We're gonna have some good results, we're
Speaker 4: gonna have some negative results. But can we be there
Speaker 4: in February and March. That's all. That's all that I'm
Speaker 4: really concentrated on. And we're trying to do it one
Speaker 4: day at a time.
Speaker 3: What does improvement at practice look like from one day
Speaker 3: to the next. Is it eliminating the mistakes you made
Speaker 3: the day before?
Speaker 4: Well, there's it. First starts with a certain level of professionalism,
Speaker 4: like a preparation to have a professionalism to come into
Speaker 4: the gym prepared mentally and physically for practice. That's the
Speaker 4: first thing we talk about, Like we can't have the
Speaker 4: kind of practice and the kind of day we have
Speaker 4: if you don't walk in ready. So you should be
Speaker 4: there early and you are mentally and physically prepared. The
Speaker 4: second thing we talk about is approach right, and it's
Speaker 4: it's not just I did it well. It's in a
Speaker 4: championship level, elite standard to what you're doing. So knowing
Speaker 4: how to do it doing it the right way that's
Speaker 4: just a little bit. It's doing it great and pushing
Speaker 4: the limits. Like we talk about this all the time.
Speaker 4: I don't want to watch you do a drill or
Speaker 4: work on something and show me you know how to
Speaker 4: do it. I want to see you try to perfect it.
Speaker 4: I don't need perfection, but I want to chase perfection.
Speaker 6: So there's a.
Speaker 4: Certain approach to that right, and within that approach, there
Speaker 4: needs to be some focus and attention to detail, you know,
Speaker 4: because these games come down to one or two or
Speaker 4: three possessions. So I think we're really really spending time
Speaker 4: talking about the focus that the details. And the final
Speaker 4: thing we talk about for how we get better every
Speaker 4: day is the team there's only there's only two things
Speaker 4: you can do with team. You can add to the
Speaker 4: team or you can take away from the team. There's
Speaker 4: only two things, and if you are a zero, you
Speaker 4: are taking away. So we have to be giving to
Speaker 4: the team every day. So we actually rank them in
Speaker 4: these areas every week. We rank them one being terrible,
Speaker 4: five being elite, you know, two, three, four in between,
Speaker 4: and their professionalism, their approach, and their impact on team.
Speaker 4: And I think if we're doing those things at the
Speaker 4: highest standard every day, we will be that great team
Speaker 4: you're talking about, and that's where my focus is.
Speaker 3: All right, we'll take a time out more with Coach
Speaker 3: Miller in just a moment. This is the West Miller
Speaker 3: Radio Show Live from the original Montgomery in Home of
Speaker 3: the World's Greatest Rips on seven hundred WLW. We are
Speaker 3: back at the original Montgomery in All of the World's
Speaker 3: Greatest Rips and the Wes Miller Radio Show. We'll have
Speaker 3: a Coach Saderfield Radio Show next Tuesday night, our final
Speaker 3: football edition, although sometimes we add one before a bowl game.
Speaker 3: We'll see if that happens. We do know that the
Speaker 3: Bearcats will be going bowling in the meantime, more questions
Speaker 3: from the audience. Our guy Glenn is at the mic.
Speaker 12: Okay, before I get to the question, I want to
Speaker 12: Claire clarify some difference between North and South Carolina's taxes.
Speaker 12: All the players, all the professional players playing North Carolina
Speaker 12: moved to South Carolina, Texas.
Speaker 6: Right, Okay?
Speaker 12: Then other thing, last time I was in Freedom Hall
Speaker 12: was March sixty three. Hope everybody, the old people remembers
Speaker 12: that don't want to ever be back there again.
Speaker 3: Right, remember that championship loss?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 6: Right? Okay?
Speaker 12: To my question, is the most valuable player tomorrow night?
Speaker 12: Mister Harris on defense? And how do you keep them
Speaker 12: in the game? And my question in the US, do you,
Speaker 12: guys minor to the officials to tell of the players
Speaker 12: which players to look which your officials to look out for?
Speaker 6: It comes to files.
Speaker 4: I don't have a crystal ball. If I did, I'd
Speaker 4: be a much better basketball coach. So I can't tell
Speaker 4: you who the most valuable player, but I will tell
Speaker 4: you that if we're going to have success in these
Speaker 4: type of games, since here Harris will be very important
Speaker 4: to that success.
Speaker 12: How you go to keep them on the floor based
Speaker 12: on recent history.
Speaker 4: Well, he said we've been working on it in practice.
Speaker 4: But the as far as officials, yeah, I think the
Speaker 4: officials they know the players, especially our guys that have
Speaker 4: played at this level for a long time. There's there's
Speaker 4: already relationships and that type of thing, and I think
Speaker 4: our players know the officials. So you do learn some
Speaker 4: of the let's say, how can we say some of
Speaker 4: the personalities and then how to handle them on both sides.
Speaker 12: Okay, Boba Miller play point, guardland defense.
Speaker 4: Bob Miller can guard every position.
Speaker 12: Yes, yes, sir, tomorrow night.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Glenn, thank you very much. T L
Speaker 3: is coming from You're right there, we go, all right.
Speaker 3: If we have any more questions from the audience, raise
Speaker 3: your hand. Terry will find you. Brian.
Speaker 9: So in in conference games, obviously you're gonna have big
Speaker 9: twelve officials.
Speaker 4: In non conference.
Speaker 9: Games like when you're home, is there a standard for
Speaker 9: which what where the officiating group comes from? And then
Speaker 9: how does that differ for a game like tomorrow, which.
Speaker 4: Is technically a neutral site. How do they work that out?
Speaker 4: It's it's all about the contract between the two teams,
Speaker 4: and so who assigned the official is based on the contract.
Speaker 4: So like any deal that's being made, they could go
Speaker 4: a lot of different ways. For the majority of games
Speaker 4: between two Power four opponents, the officials will be assigned
Speaker 4: they call like a blend crew, or the commission officials
Speaker 4: from the Big Twelve will work with the commission officials
Speaker 4: the ACC to assign a crew together. It's not that
Speaker 4: difficult because a lot of the guys that are working
Speaker 4: these games work multiple leagues already, but they do make
Speaker 4: it is important in most of these games that it's
Speaker 4: not just a Big twelve crew, not just an ACC crew.
Speaker 4: It's a mix. And that'll be the case tomorrow and
Speaker 4: these tournaments that you see, like the tournaments that'll be
Speaker 4: on Feast week on the ESPN and stuff over the
Speaker 4: next week and a half, the tournaments will assign the
Speaker 4: officials and they usually use an assigner from a league
Speaker 4: or multiple assigners from leagues to do that.
Speaker 3: You see Athletics Hall of Famer Corey Blunt is up next.
Speaker 11: I'm gonna make it easy for everybody.
Speaker 4: Officials suck.
Speaker 6: They're not good.
Speaker 4: So you don't have to ask him about officials no more.
Speaker 6: But they're all bad.
Speaker 4: Take it from somebody who has the experience of knowing that.
Speaker 6: All right, that's the.
Speaker 5: End of the show, everybody forever.
Speaker 3: Did the team practice at Heritage Bank Center?
Speaker 6: Today?
Speaker 4: Yes? Yes, we practically did a film session today and
Speaker 4: then a walk through in our practice facility and then
Speaker 4: went down to Heritage Bank to practice after that. Yes.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's always a kind of a notoriously chilly in there.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's the ice hockey, yep.
Speaker 5: Do you have the same game day butterflies as a
Speaker 5: player that you do as a coach or as a
Speaker 5: coach you have as a player.
Speaker 4: It's different, But I still get good nerves before every
Speaker 4: single game. And I'll tell you this, if I ever
Speaker 4: lose that bye, I'll be on the first t because
Speaker 4: to me, that's one of the great one of the
Speaker 4: many great things about coaching is you still get those
Speaker 4: same jitters and nerves that you got as a young
Speaker 4: kid when you played the game in the park, right
Speaker 4: and you know, gosh, when you're playing the game outside
Speaker 4: and you know if you lost, you'd have to sit
Speaker 4: for an hour to get a chance to play again.
Speaker 4: I still get that, And that's that's one of the
Speaker 4: neat things about coaching. I probably have a lot more
Speaker 4: stress and anxiety leading up to the practices than I
Speaker 4: do leading up to the game, because that's that's my game,
Speaker 4: right that the preparation that we do to get the
Speaker 4: guys ready, Like tonight's the easiest night for me. I mean,
Speaker 4: you know, we've already done all the work, so it's
Speaker 4: probably the best night of sleep I get. Is the
Speaker 4: night before the game. When I was a player, I
Speaker 4: couldn't sleep sometimes the night before the game.
Speaker 3: When you watch basketball, do you have a notepad nearby
Speaker 3: if you see something you like or play you like
Speaker 3: something for a future opponent, do you that you want
Speaker 3: to remember? Do you jot down notes while you're watching games?
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, yeah, And then we have a game on
Speaker 4: right here.
Speaker 3: Right now, and you see Uplick's pretty good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have it on my phone. I mean, this
Speaker 4: time of year, if I'm not on the road recruiting,
Speaker 4: you know, I'm if I'm at home at night, there's
Speaker 4: basketball on television. There's a laptop on watching our team
Speaker 4: or our next opponent, and there's always I have a
Speaker 4: note section on my laptop, and I have always keep
Speaker 4: note pads by my nightstand. I'll keep them on the
Speaker 4: couch and all that kind of stuff for sure.
Speaker 5: I got a text message that wanted me to ask
Speaker 5: you what determines what you wear on game day and
Speaker 5: then what determines when you take your coat off?
Speaker 4: You know, I think I said this, I really do
Speaker 4: miss the days that we wore suits on the sidelines.
Speaker 4: I just thought there was something about you only played
Speaker 4: thirty some games in a college basketball season, and then
Speaker 4: it just means something, you know, and you know you
Speaker 4: throw on a suit because it means something. And so
Speaker 4: for me, you know, putting a sport code on it
Speaker 4: just felt it feels more like me. It feels more
Speaker 4: like what I believe in. So that's why I've done that.
Speaker 4: In terms of what outfit we wear as a staff,
Speaker 4: I have no idea, but it's like one of the
Speaker 4: many things my staff does that I don't get involved with.
Speaker 4: But I get a text message. I just got it
Speaker 4: as I walked in here with what our outfit is tomorrow.
Speaker 4: And then I got to go make sure that we
Speaker 4: have clean laundry so so I can if I got
Speaker 4: to wash a shirt, I gotta do it. But and
Speaker 4: then when I take my coat off, that is that
Speaker 4: is like not conscious, that is just whenever it doesn't
Speaker 4: feel right. Anymore.
Speaker 3: It's coming off what staff member picked the color combo.
Speaker 4: If it's a if we're all excited about it, we
Speaker 4: give Chad dollar credit. If we're not excited, it's it's
Speaker 4: Andre Moore's decisions. That's how it works.
Speaker 6: Make sure that gets back to him.
Speaker 3: Are you are probably happy though that you're in an
Speaker 3: eraw where even if you do want to wear the
Speaker 3: sport coat, sneakers are acceptable.
Speaker 4: Yeah. You guys all know I like sneakers, so that
Speaker 4: part has been pretty cool for sure.
Speaker 6: I've got a hole half your place is filled with sneakers.
Speaker 3: That about you hadn't been there. You're gonna find out
Speaker 3: on Thanksgiving night. That's the fifty first guest when when
Speaker 3: Terry's snooping around your house, going into the closet to
Speaker 3: see how many pairs of shoes you have.
Speaker 6: Now you'll know what when it takes.
Speaker 5: Me ten minutes to get out of the bathroom and
Speaker 5: I don't have the Beg's I'm in their closet trying
Speaker 5: to figure out how to fit this size eleven.
Speaker 3: We have spiraled out of control.
Speaker 4: Were really we're really moving on here in the conversation, Dan,
Speaker 4: you want to come to Thanksgiving you're more than welcome.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you for the invite. I'll be in Baltimore, Okay,
Speaker 3: I will be in Baltimore watching watching the Bengals beat Terry's.
Speaker 3: As we've learned Terry's Baltimore Ravens. How did you become
Speaker 3: a Ravens fan?
Speaker 6: Ray Lewis?
Speaker 5: Ever since Ray Lewis, I do like and his leadership,
Speaker 5: and it just carried on model of consistency.
Speaker 3: You want to do? His dance is a tunnel dancer.
Speaker 3: Of course he can do it looks better.
Speaker 6: Ask for about three or four glasses of wine.
Speaker 3: But all right, on that note, we are just about
Speaker 3: out of time. We've got some stuff to give away
Speaker 3: for the folks here at the original Montgomery in We
Speaker 3: appreciate the Bearcat fans who are with us here tonight
