Speaker 2: fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. Thank you to our friends

9
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: right across the street from us at Penn Station and

00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: all the locations. We certainly appreciate their support. As we

11
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 2: roll along into the third hour, phone lines will be

12
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 2: open five to one, three, seven, four, nine, fifteen thirty.

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: You can call if you want to talk Bengals, if

14
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: you want to talk more Kyle Schwarb, I'd be happy

15
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: to do that. I also want to know what the

16
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: interest is for the Crossdown Shootout, because it feels Austin

17
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: and I discussed at the start of the show, it

18
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 2: feels like there's less buzz around this game going into

19
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: this year, and I know there are factors that go

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: into it. It's played on a Friday night. It's much

21
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: earlier on the schedule than what it has been normally.

22
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: It is also on a weekend where you have college

23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: football championships being decided, college football playoff spots being decided.

24
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: It has Bengals Bills implications on Sunday. So the timing,

25
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 2: what else is going on in the sports world. It

26
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: doesn't help that neither of these teams right now is

27
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: very good. I'm not saying that the teams can't improve,

28
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: but right now they're not very good. All of those

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: things go into this and so I'll open it up

30
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: to you five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifteen thirty.

31
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: What's your excitement level around the Crosstown shootout? What's your

32
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: build up around this year shootout compared to years in

33
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: the past. It's shootout number one for Richard Patino, I believe, Austin.

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: We have some audio of Richard Patino from earlier today

35
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: talking about said shootout.

36
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: We sure do.

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: Let's go to that introductory press conference.

38
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 4: You said you understand the responsibility of this game, and

39
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 4: so just curious how you're embracing that challenge as you

40
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 4: here for your first Cross.

41
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I would say as boring as it

42
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 5: sounds on a day to day we approach it, you know,

43
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 5: like any other game, and that you know, that's the responsibility.

44
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 2: Of a coach.

45
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 5: With that being said, you know, we know how passionate

46
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 5: our fan base is. We know how passionate their fan

47
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 5: base is. We're all so close together, you know, so

48
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 5: we totally respect the rivalry and you know the amazing

49
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 5: tradition that the game has. Our guys know.

50
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 2: It, you know.

51
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 5: But on a day to day we're not working any harder.

52
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 5: I can promise you. You see, he is doing the

53
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 5: same thing. But we obviously know it is a huge

54
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 5: game for both programs. You know, we're gonna fight our

55
00:02:58,840 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 5: butt off to see if we.

56
00:02:59,520 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: Can get a win.

57
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 6: Coach, if you can think back to when you got hired,

58
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 6: how long was it before someone brought up the shootout

59
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 6: to you?

60
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 5: I mean, I can't even remember what I had for

61
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 5: breakfast today, so I mean my memory is not real good.

62
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 5: But what I can tell you is you hear it

63
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 5: a lot, you know, when you're out in the community,

64
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 5: whether it's Xavier fans, you see fans, the community really

65
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 5: embraces the game, and that's a cool thing to be

66
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 5: a part of. You know, you want to take a

67
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 5: job where people care. Clearly our fan base does, clearly

68
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 5: theirs does. So yeah, you hear it a lot, you know,

69
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 5: from both sides, and you know, we certainly know it's

70
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 5: a big, big challenge. They're a really good team, but

71
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 5: we also understand it's huge for the fans as well.

72
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 6: Is it weird or is it hard to explain to

73
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 6: the guys or get them to feel the gravity of

74
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 6: a game like this when they're all coming to Xavier

75
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 6: for the first year.

76
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 5: No, no, it's not. I mean, certainly if you had

77
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 5: players playing in the game last year. But UC's dealing

78
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 5: with the same thing. Everybody in college basketball is dealing

79
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 5: with the same thing. Just because nobody on our team

80
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 5: has played in the game doesn't mean that they don't

81
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 5: understand how important it is. You know, it's a huge

82
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 5: rivalry game, and so you know, big game. Certainly the

83
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 5: next game as well. But you know, I don't try

84
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 5: to make a bigger deal of it as we're scouting,

85
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 5: as we're preparing than we would any other opponent. But

86
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 5: everybody knows the gravity of the game on both sides.

87
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 4: You see ranks number four defensively and Ken Palmit efficiency.

88
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 4: Just what stands out about that side of the ball,

89
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 4: and have you guys faced anything similar to that so

90
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 4: far this year?

91
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I think from like a length standpoint,

92
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 5: they're similar to Georgia. They're really big, they're very long,

93
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 5: they're very athletic, discipline defensively, you know, so certainly that's

94
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 5: going to be a huge challenge for us. They've got

95
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 5: really good defensive persons. They're committed to it, you know,

96
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 5: so like everything else, you know, taking care of the ball,

97
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 5: you know, being smart around the basket. It's got to

98
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 5: be very important for us.

99
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 7: You say that, you know, even if the guys are

100
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 7: transferring in, they still understand the gravity of the game.

101
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 7: Have you done anything to you know, research yourself and

102
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 7: then kind of pass it along and teach the guys

103
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 7: the history of this game, this rivalry. Are you doing

104
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 7: anything different to kind of prepare for that so they

105
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 7: do know the background of it all.

106
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 5: No, I'm treating it like I would any other game.

107
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 5: I Mean, these are guys. They don't care about what

108
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 5: happened in nineteen eighty. I wish they would, but they're young,

109
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 5: they're young players. I mean, they don't you know, what

110
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 5: we taught. We don't talk about, oh, ten years ago,

111
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 5: this is what happened though. Those guys just don't care.

112
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 5: I mean, that's this young generation. What we just talk

113
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 5: about is how can we beat uc which is going

114
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 5: to be a very very tough task. Again, I don't

115
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 5: want to like gloss over it like it's not a

116
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 5: big deal. It's certainly a big game and a huge

117
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 5: opportunity for us in the building. But what happened in

118
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 5: the past that would just totally blow over their.

119
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: Heads, you know.

120
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 5: So you just we came in yesterday, watched the Saint

121
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 5: Francis edit, dove in on U see, and it'll be

122
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 5: business as usual.

123
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 2: All right. So that is part of what Rick Patino

124
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 2: Richard Patino had to say earlier today about the shootout.

125
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 2: I do think it's interesting, Austin. He's kind of just

126
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: hoping about, you know, we're approaching this day to day

127
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: like any other game we play. Yeah, you know, Wes

128
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: Miller made a comment after their loss or after the

129
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: win against Tarleton State about we know what the next

130
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: game is, and we don't approach the next game like

131
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 2: it's any other game. So, at least from an approach side,

132
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: you have two different variables there. Right, one coach who

133
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: at least on the outside, is saying it's it's just

134
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: a normal game, whereas the other is saying this, this

135
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: game means more. And I think there's a like I

136
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 2: expect that Tom Miller's been here for five years. West

137
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: Miller has seen what happens if you don't beat Xavier, right,

138
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: So I think there is an understanding to that. But

139
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: at the same time, it to me, it's hard if

140
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: you don't have the I don't want to say the

141
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: the bad blood or animosity, but that sometimes helps the

142
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: rivalry game, you know what I mean. And it just

143
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: it's not it's not as prevalent now as what it

144
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 2: was in years past.

145
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean you think about there's I don't know

146
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 8: that Patino feels any pressure. Absolutely, I think this is

147
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 8: a way almost to put the pressure back on you

148
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 8: see m hm, oh, it's just another game for us. Meanwhile,

149
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 8: it's mounting in Clifton right. Absolutely, it's like, uh, we

150
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 8: got to win this game, like right now?

151
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, like and and not to me, like and there's

152
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: some there's some there's twenty seconds of kerk Cresa like

153
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: outside of that, they're like from the players, Austin I said,

154
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: Kirk Crees is the only player that will play on

155
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: Friday Night that was even alive when these two teams play.

156
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: When when you see last one at the Cintas Center,

157
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: you know, there's just not there's not the understanding in

158
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: my belief anymore of just how much this rivalry means.

159
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: I mean, the closest thing we got was this twenty

160
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: second clip from Kerk Crisa after the Bearcats beat Tarleton

161
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: State on Monday.

162
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 4: How excited are you for that game?

163
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 9: Yeah?

164
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 3: Exciting, of course.

165
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 10: I mean this, Uh, the other school is up in Norwood,

166
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 10: so happy, happy and excited to go there. And and

167
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 10: uh I heard it's a it's a big fight, so

168
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 10: we're definitely gonna bring him.

169
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: So the school in Norwood school, he used the term

170
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 2: happy happy, and uh, they're gonna bring it because they're

171
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 2: going to bring a fight. So like but outside of that,

172
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: like like the Cumberland years, there was hate there xavior

173
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: like nowadays. And this isn't this is not about the fans.

174
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 2: I would venture to say Austin that there are a

175
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: lot of fans of Xavier that couldn't tell you one

176
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: UC player. Sure, And there's a lot of UC fans

177
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: that couldn't tell you one Xavior player, right, and in

178
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 2: years past that's been different. It's like man j P. Mccura, Man,

179
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 2: he drives me nuts. Man Jared Cumberland drives me nuts.

180
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: You know, there's just not that anymore. And I think

181
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: that rivalries missed that.

182
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, And we kind of talked earlier too about how

183
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 8: the the arena for both sides really hasn't been filled

184
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 8: with too many people. Very small crowd for UCEE the

185
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 8: other night against Tarleton State, Xavier not quite as full

186
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 8: as we expected. And I see here from Lance McAllister,

187
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 8: Xavier has indicated that there are now a limited number

188
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 8: of tickets available for the Crosstown shootout due to the

189
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 8: Bearcats returning a portion of their allotment. U see tells

190
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 8: Lance that they declined to purchase seventy five tickets that

191
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 8: were in the upper corner level and some last row

192
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 8: one hundred and ten dollars apiece, So there wasn't a

193
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 8: ton of demand for those. You see, made sure to

194
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 8: take care of students and team needs, Okay, but even that,

195
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 8: I mean that goes into it as well. That's that's strange, right,

196
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 8: there's not demand from the UC side to take care

197
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 8: of students and team needs. Now there are people in

198
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 8: the reply saying that you know their season ticket holders,

199
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 8: they never got an email from U see asking if

200
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 8: they wanted to buy tickets.

201
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: I don't know, but that in and of itself is strange.

202
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: And to further the point, there's one other note here.

203
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: Outside of dayde Thomas Austin, no one on any of

204
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 2: the roster's ever played in the shootout. So, you know,

205
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 2: how can you build the way outside of Wes and

206
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: dayDay Who can talk to the team this week and say, look,

207
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 2: you guys don't understand what you're going to walk into

208
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 2: Friday from a fan standpoint.

209
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 8: Outside of that, it's just different. This is kind of

210
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 8: off topic, but what did you make of Jizzle being

211
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 8: in the building, building down and now all the conversation

212
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 8: around him.

213
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: It was the only thing that I thought was odd

214
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: about it is on the same night Jigsel is in

215
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: the building. Keishan Tillery played four minutes your backup point guard,

216
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: you know, and Wes Miller was asked about after the

217
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: game and gave like a very coach answer like that

218
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 2: was a coach's decision and I'm not going to go

219
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 2: into it anymore now. Wes was asked more about Gigsel

220
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: James and he said, look, Jigsel has never not been

221
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: double negative. Gigil has never not been enrolled at Cincinnati.

222
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: So even while he was doing the things necessary that

223
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: he needed to do when it was his life, he

224
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 2: was still enrolled in online classes at you See. So technically,

225
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: since he's been a student at U See, he could

226
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: rejoin the team. Would imagine what I've heard, at least

227
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 2: up to this point is there's not an avenue that

228
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 2: he rejoins the team this year. Now, I think that

229
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 2: door is open if he does the things necessary that

230
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 2: he could return next year to the team. But I

231
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 2: don't think he would return this year. It didn't help

232
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: that used to put him on the JumboTron on Monday night,

233
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: You know.

234
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 11: What I mean?

235
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 2: Like anytime like jizzl being there, as soon as someone

236
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: gets it, it's gonna be all over social media. Why

237
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 2: put it on the JumboTron, You're just inciting the curiosity

238
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: and the rumors. How funny would it be if he

239
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 2: ran out of the tunnel on Friday night? Could he

240
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: go get fifteen? He played well against in his career.

241
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 3: I don't know that he could.

242
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 8: When I think of James, I think of a lot

243
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 8: of jump shots being missed, a lot of dribbling, a

244
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 8: lot of dribbling, a lot of jots being missed.

245
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: Look, though, that's good. Yep, I'm glad to.

246
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 2: See that me too, things necessarily in his life.

247
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 8: Don't know that he's the answer, don't know that there

248
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 8: are any answers, But I'm excited for the drobum. I

249
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 8: love seeing you squirm. Oh I'm squirming.

250
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 3: What that pit?

251
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 2: The pit in the stomach is there. We'll get to

252
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 2: your phone calls when we come back. Since he three

00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 2: We got a couple of minutes here. We'll take some

257
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: of your phone calls. Uh, Tony, what's going on?

258
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 11: Hey guys, Thank you?

259
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 3: It's doing good. How are you?

260
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 4: Hey?

261
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 10: Good?

262
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 3: It's been a while.

263
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 11: First of all, I thought the cross on shootout was

264
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 11: next week, so it shows how much Yeah, there's either

265
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 11: pay attention, just haven't.

266
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 2: Had to hear about it.

267
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 11: But the thing that really he kind of brought something

268
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 11: back to me was when I saw Lance's post about tickets,

269
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 11: you know, extra tickets being available. I don't remember seeing

270
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 11: something like that, going back to maybe Huggins first year

271
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 11: at the Garden.

272
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 3: We were at one of the UC home.

273
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,239
Speaker 11: Games where nobody was there and they made an announcement

274
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 11: inside the shoes saying, hey, there's tickets available, blah blah blah.

275
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 11: We literally ran to the indoor ticket office and was

276
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 11: able to get some tickets.

277
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: And yeah, they were the best seats.

278
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 11: But yeah, they need I just hope Wes is bringing

279
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 11: in some of the former players to.

280
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 3: Talk about this rivalry. The Robberry needs to get ramped

281
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: backed up.

282
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 11: I mean, we went from being midnight man, it's the

283
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 11: ESPN all the way down to on the Oak Show

284
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 11: at three am in the morning. So it's kind of

285
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 11: like we need to get us back. It's great for

286
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 11: the city, it's great for both schools, it's great for

287
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 11: the alumnis of both schools, and it just needs to

288
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 11: get to where it used to be and bring back

289
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 11: that intimidate, dominate, and celebrate slogan.

290
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 3: Will be kind of cool too.

291
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tony I echo that I appreciate your phone call,

292
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: thanks for listening. You know that's part of it as well, Austin.

293
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 2: It's just, again, there's so many factors that go into it,

294
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 2: but there's just not the buzz around either of the

295
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 2: programs right now. And again I think those are for

296
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: different reasons. Xavier has a new coach roster that was

297
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: pieced together, and I think more than not Xavier fans

298
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: are willing to give Richard Patino a pass West Miller's

299
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: in year five. And the team is already underperforming, not

300
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: because they lost to Louisville, because they lost at home

301
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: against Eastern Michigan as a twenty three and a half

302
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 2: point favorite, and they didn't look great against Tarleton State

303
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 2: on Monday. They're trending in the wrong direction. It's just

304
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: hard to generate as much buzz that way. It's just

305
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: the nature of what it is. What's up, Jeff, How

306
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: are you.

307
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 3: Happy? Wednesday?

308
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 12: Jents no real dog in the fight for the Crosstown shootout,

309
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 12: but I have been betting against UC with the points

310
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 12: recently and it's turned out very well.

311
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're you're you've been winning.

312
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 10: Yeah.

313
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 12: Not ready to jump on the other team. Money line

314
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 12: just yet. But those twenty four and a half point

315
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 12: spreads against these not so good guys have turned out

316
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 12: pretty all so far.

317
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: Tarleton. The Tarleton thing was crazy to me because Tarleton

318
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 2: State was playing without seven players and sixty one percent

319
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: of their scoring going into the game, and it was

320
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: a two point game at halftime. It's just it hasn't

321
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: looked good and they've not gotten better, whereas at least

322
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 2: about Xavier you can look and say they've improved each

323
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: game they've played in.

324
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, I know this is killing you obviously, Tony.

325
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 12: So back to the playoff for a second.

326
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: Let's take a shot.

327
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 12: Alabama loses on Saturday and they're a three lost team

328
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 12: all of a sudden. Yeah, what single player has ESPN

329
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 12: been hyping as the second coming of God and presumed

330
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 12: the Heisman Trophy winner since day one of the.

331
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: Preseason out of Alabama or out in general, arch Manning, Yeah,

332
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 2: any reason to get back in?

333
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 12: Texas also has three losses.

334
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 3: What do you think the odds are?

335
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 12: ESPN puts the squeeze on the committee to try to

336
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 12: hop Texas in there over Alabama for a ratings game.

337
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: I think if it came down to the two I think.

338
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 2: I think there are folks out there that would lean

339
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 2: Texas for those reasons, and Texas did play better down

340
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 2: the stretch. I think Alabama's overall body of work is

341
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 2: much better. But I don't think you're far off with

342
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 2: that take. I could see that happening.

343
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 12: I could just see Sunday mornings somebody from ESPN leaning

344
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 12: into the committee room and saying, how much money are.

345
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 11: We paying you people?

346
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 12: And somewhere down the road if in one we do

347
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 12: go to sixteen team, I could easily say see ESPN

348
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 12: saying we would like to have one or two slots

349
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 12: for ESPN to pick in the sixteen team playoff committee

350
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 12: based outside of the bylaws of whatever those rules are or.

351
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 2: Whatever I mean. At this point, as much as NCAA

352
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 2: feels like the Wild Wide West, I wouldn't put anything

353
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 2: past them for the future.

354
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 12: Well, it's we know what the money involved that it's

355
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 12: certainly not out of the realm with possibilities.

356
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 3: But hey, we've got great football.

357
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 12: We've got great football to watch Saturday.

358
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 3: And just lead in the Sunday.

359
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 2: So that's it.

360
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 12: Let's kick back and enjoy it. Afternoon.

361
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 2: Jens Sir Austin what's up, man?

362
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 11: Hey, what's going on?

363
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 7: Y'all?

364
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 11: I listened to the show every day, Thank you. Also

365
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 11: wanted to I also wanted to talk college football playoffs. Please,

366
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 11: just how the last caller said Texas would have three

367
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 11: losses and Bama would have three losses. I don't think

368
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 11: those three laws would compare to each other.

369
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't need that. I mean, if you just

370
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: put them side by side and you look at the

371
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: Texas body of work and you look at the Alabama

372
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: body of work. Alabama started with a loss to Florida State,

373
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: they lost to Oklahoma. Those are the two losses. Texas

374
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 2: losses again came to the number one team in the country.

375
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 2: But then the loss to Florida I think hurts Texas

376
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 2: more than anything. And they were blown out by Georgia,

377
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 2: whereas Alabama did play Georgia the first time around and

378
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 2: actually beat the Georgia Bulldogs. So yeah, I don't think.

379
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 2: I don't think the two are the same. I would

380
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 2: agree with that.

381
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 11: And I also think you can't ponish somebody for playing

382
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 11: an extra game than everybody else. That would almost destroy

383
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 11: the conference championships in my eyes.

384
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's the biggest concern right now

385
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 2: for future conference championship games is a scenario. Would you

386
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 2: ever could you ever see a point where a team

387
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 2: is like, I don't want to play in the conference

388
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 2: championship game?

389
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, I guess they could, right, I guess they could. Again,

390
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 8: if it would it be a forfeit.

391
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like if Oklahoma isn't gonna get pedalized,

392
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: if Old Miss isn't gonna get penalized, if Texas isn't

393
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 2: gonna get pedalized, or anyone else in the rankings. You know,

394
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 2: Notre Dame is not playing Texas A and m Oregon.

395
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 2: They're not playing. If they're not going to be penalized,

396
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: then why would a team say, well, yeah, let's go

397
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 2: play an extra game where we can lose and be

398
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 2: penalized for it.

399
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 3: Exactly?

400
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 11: That's what I'm saying. Also, what do you guys think

401
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 11: the Bengals chances of making a late playoff pushes.

402
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 8: If they win on Sunday. I think they've got pretty

403
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 8: good odds, to be completely honest, right now, it's fifty

404
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 8: to fifty. It really just comes down to can they

405
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 8: beat Buffalo. They do have a reasonable chance even if

406
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 8: they lose to either Buffalo or Miami. I feel pretty

407
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 8: good about it. I mean, I don't know what defense

408
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 8: is going to show up, the one we saw for

409
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 8: the first ten games, the one we've seen for the

410
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 8: last three, But I feel pretty good right now, better

411
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 8: than I having any point this season.

412
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 2: To be honest, they're a five and a half point

413
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 2: dog if you just go by spreads. I think they'd

414
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 2: be favored in their final four games. And I know

415
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 2: Austin talked about it. We talked about the Ravens and

416
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: Dolphins maybe being a little bit closer. But if they

417
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 2: beat the Bills, I think they would be a favorite

418
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: in their final four games. And if that's the case,

419
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: go win them all and get yourself in the playoffs.

420
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 2: If they beat Buffalo, Monday is a completely different feeling,

421
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 2: a completely different vibe, and it is let's go do

422
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 2: this thing and what does that scenario and path look like.

423
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 11: That's why I'm at well anyway, Roll Tide, Go Bengals.

424
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 11: I love listening to the show.

425
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 12: Y'all keep doing good work.

426
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 2: Thank you, Austin, Thanks as now, Austin said, Roll Tide.

427
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: Austin was a northern heast in northern Kentucky. How do

428
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: you think Austin became a Tide fan roll Tide.

429
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 8: There's not really a lot of Like, there's not a

430
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 8: big time college football programs anywhere near northern Kentucky.

431
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 2: Wow, we'll take one more phone call then. If that's

432
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 2: the that's the stance we're gonna take. Let's go to

433
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: Dayton's rage bait. I'm kidding, Richard.

434
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 3: Dick. Are you there?

435
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 11: Hey?

436
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 3: Hey, you're good man.

437
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 2: You're on the air with me.

438
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, how are you doing? I was just taking But

439
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 9: did you guys have a good Thanksgiving?

440
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 2: Sure?

441
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 11: Did?

442
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

443
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 13: Oh but the shock for this Thursday when I knew,

444
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 13: listen to you yesterday, Austin and our very that I

445
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 13: thought the Bengals would win over the Ravens when Joe

446
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 13: Burrow comes back, you can count on them women, Austin.

447
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 8: You know they've won, They've won eight straight games that

448
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 8: Joe Burrow has started about that that's good and.

449
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 9: I'm I'm putting my hope. I'm telling you, I think

450
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 9: Ohio State's going to squeeze by by a field goal,

451
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 9: a last minute field goal, and it's going to be scoring.

452
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 7: I think that.

453
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 9: I think the way I don't know if Indiana's good defenses, but.

454
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 13: I think they're gonna go the way at the Big

455
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 13: ten guys.

456
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 2: I don't think Indiana can stop Ohio State. I think

457
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 2: that's gonna be an issue on the defensive side of

458
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 2: the ball. But uh, I'm with you. I think Ohio

459
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 2: State wins, Dick. I just don't think it's as close.

460
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 2: I think Ohio State wins by more than a touchdown.

461
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 9: I would say, yeah, and the Bengals might have a

462
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 9: chance Sunday, you.

463
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 8: Know, baby, absolutely, yeah, I think ye talk of these guys, Thanks, Dicks.

464
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 2: Have a good one now. We were at Twin Peaks

465
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: on Monday. Yeah. And you never you ever see like

466
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 2: on the bottom of the screen on on ESPN, they

467
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 2: have like the matchup predictor, like this team has a

468
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: seventy percent chance to win, this team has this much

469
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 2: of a percent chance to win. Did you happen to

470
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 2: see what the matchup predictor had for Indiana Ohio State?

471
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 11: No?

472
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 2: Do you want to guess?

473
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 11: No?

474
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: Indiana fifty oh See State forty nine pairs. So that's

475
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 2: enough for me. Put it on the on the on

476
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 2: the wall bulletin board like I would. I would never

477
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: think that the matchup predictor would lean to Indiana in

478
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 2: this And I don't know what all goes into the

479
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 2: analytics and how they come up with those predictions, but

480
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 2: right now I.

481
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 3: Know that we've had a lot of doubts about FPN

482
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 3: in the past.

483
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: Yep, right now, Ohio State opens a five and a

484
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 2: half point favorite. That's down to four and a half again.

485
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 2: I maybe it's close for a bit. I see Ohio

486
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 2: State as the as the far better.

487
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 3: Do you remember the beat Indonia shirts? I?

488
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 2: Do you need one?

489
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 3: Might have to pull those out?

490
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 2: You need one? I got a couple that worked. Because

491
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 2: they did, they took care of business, and Michael Pennix

522
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 2: in Buffalo.

523
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 3: Bill's just released their injury report for practice today.

524
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 8: Now this is noteworthy. They held a walk through a practice. Okay,

525
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 8: so not a full practice for the Bills. Okay, but

526
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 8: there were three d nps. Linebacker Terrell Bernard dealing with

527
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 8: an elbow, Defensive end Joey Bosa did not He's got

528
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 8: a hamstring and wrist and.

529
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 2: Here he's listed as what week to week yesterday?

530
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 8: And wide receiver Joshua Palmer all did not participate in

531
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 8: the walkthrough practice. Starting tackles Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown,

532
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 8: Dawkin dealing with a concussion, Brown with a shoulder, both

533
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 8: of them were limited. Tight End Dalton Kincaid also limited

534
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 8: in practice. Defensive tackle TJ. Sanders, tight end Jackson Hawes,

535
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 8: full back Reggie Gillam, long snapper Reed Ferguson all listed

536
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 8: as full participants for the Bills today. So the big

537
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 8: ones there though, starting tackle Spencer Brown and Dion Dawkins,

538
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 8: obviously Joey Bosa as well. We'll see more about the

539
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 8: Bills and we'll get the Bengals into report a little

540
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 8: bit later on. Additionally, we were talking about uniforms earlier.

541
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 8: Today Buffalo, we'll wear their traditional home uniforms, white helmets,

542
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 8: blue jerseys, white pants with the blue socks in Buffalo.

543
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 2: Let's just let's call what it is. No reason for

544
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 2: Dion Dawkins to rush back. No, take your time, hamstring.

545
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 2: You don't want to push those No, certainly not in

546
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 2: the cold. No, absolutely not.

547
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 8: By the way, too much white gonna be on the field.

548
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 8: Bill should be wearing in blue breeches. That's fair question

549
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 8: for you answer.

550
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 2: The coaching carousel has been all over the place in

551
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 2: college football. Some have called it one of the biggest

552
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: coaching carousels ever. When you look at till next year,

553
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 2: the jobs that have been open and what has resulted

554
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 2: from those jobs. If you go from Kentucky has hired

555
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 2: Will Stein, Michigan State has hired Pat Fitzgerald. Ucla went

556
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: and got James Madison's Bob Chesney Lsu and Lane Kiffin,

557
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 2: and then old Miss says, all right, we'll take our decordinator,

558
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 2: Pete Golding and we'll make him the new head coach.

559
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 2: And then Florida got John Sumral from Tulane, and then

560
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: Arkansas got Memphis Ryan Silverfield, Auburn went to USF and

561
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 2: got Alex Golish USF. Then One got Brian Hartline Stanford

562
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: one and got former Stanford quarterback ta Vita Pritchard. Tavita Pritchard.

563
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 2: I actually saw that on Hard Knocks last night. Ta

564
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 2: Vita Pritchard is a quarterback coach for the Commanders. There

565
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 2: you go and they show this team meeting where they

566
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 2: announced he's leaving to be the head coach of Stanford. Really,

567
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 2: it was a really cool moment. Oklahoma State went and

568
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 2: got Eric Morris, that's their new coach. Virginia Tech hired

569
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 2: James Franklin, and I can't help but wonder, Austin, what's

570
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 2: going on at Penn State. Yeah, a team that was

571
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: ranked number two preseason, that that played hard early in

572
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 2: the year in some games and then falls off the

573
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 2: face of the earth fires James Franklin and has yet

574
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: to fill the void at head coach.

575
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 8: It seemed like they were picking up some steam with

576
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 8: Kilanie Sataki from b YU yesterday, and then it appears

577
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 8: that the CEO of Crumble Cookie, who is heavily involved

578
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 8: I guess with the Church in Byu, got up off

579
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 8: the couch and made sure that Kilanie Sataki was He's

580
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 8: taken care of He's staying with the kooks. This is

581
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 8: apparently all that has happened with Penn State so far.

582
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,959
Speaker 8: They talked to Bin Meyer, wasn't interested. Talk to Mike Elko,

583
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 8: he got an extension at Texas A and m talk

584
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 8: to Kurt Signetti, Matt Ruhle, Marcus Freeman, Eli Drinkowitz. None

585
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 8: of them were interested. Brian Kelly tried to get Kaylin

586
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 8: de Borr, assuming they lose to Auburn.

587
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 3: Didn't happen.

588
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 8: Lincoln Riley pulled his name out of the occasion, tried

589
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 8: to get Sataki.

590
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 3: Nothing.

591
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 8: Where do they go now? By the way, Jeff Brohm

592
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 8: has just told the University of Louisville he's not freaking leaving.

593
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's staying.

594
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 2: I've seen the name Dan Mullen floated around.

595
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 3: I like that. I like Dan Mullen.

596
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 2: I don't want we saw big Ben said that Mike

597
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 2: Tomlins should go take that job.

598
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 3: I bet Mike love that.

599
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 2: You want to go get.

600
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 8: Brian Kelly, you think I think there's an interesting name here, Okay,

601
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 8: Brian Daboll, Brian Dave All of course, came up with

602
00:30:54,480 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 8: Penn State. Okay, he's available. Okay, could be. I'd be interesting.

603
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 8: I think desperate, but I do think that's a possibility.

604
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: Be interesting.

605
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 3: Isn't it funny? Nobody seems to be interested in Brian Kelly.

606
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 2: It is a little interesting. I think he's got something

607
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 2: about the names from Duke Okay, maybe got him playing

608
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 2: the a SEC title game.

609
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 11: Sure.

610
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, I feel bad for Penn State. I'm so sorry

611
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 8: for them. By the way, we're talking earlier about Chris

Speaker 8: Henry Jr. His paperwork not being filed. Oh, there's been

613
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 8: some more drama. Oh no, how about this four star

614
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 8: athlete by the name Legend Bay was committed to Ohio State.

615
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:48,240

00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,160

00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 8: him to go to Tennessee.

619

Speaker 8: How do you feel if you're Tennessee this guy commits

624
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 8: to You don't want a bunch of Ohio State gear.

625
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 2: But his mom does. Interesting?

626
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 8: This is I was talking about this yesterday. The may

627
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 8: the mayhem, and the chaos and the messiness of college football.

628
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 2: Yep.

629
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 8: I think that's what we like about it. And I

630
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 8: do think that eventually it will turn on itself and

631
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 8: be detrimental. And I think it's already detrimental, sure, but

632
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 8: I don't know that wherever we ever really want it

633
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,479
Speaker 8: to change because we can't get enough of it. It's

634
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 8: a it's a soap opera every single day, and even

635
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 8: to the point where National Signing Day has turned into this.

636

Speaker 3: because I know we've been looking forward to this day

664
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 3: because today was going to be the day that I

665
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 3: found out if I'm Employee of the Year, and I wasn't.

666
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 3: Oh no, he got it, Ryan Seacrest in iHeartMedia. This

667
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 3: is the sixth time. This is the sixth time in

668
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 3: seven years.

669
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 2: Stuff.

670
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 3: Six times in seven years he's won Sarah least one

671
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 3: at the one year Wow, six times in seven years,

672
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 3: Ryan Seacrest, iHeart Employee of the Year.

673
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 2: But your way of just mixing six to seven in

674
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 2: because someone asked me the other day, is MO trolling

675
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 2: people with the six to seven thing? No, I want,

676
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 2: you said six out of seven years. So I didn't know.

677
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 3: If you have a middle school kid in the car

678
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 3: right now here, she is losing his mind their mind.

679
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 2: Yep.

680
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 3: So look listen, it's an honor to be nominated. Sure,

681
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 3: you know, so not a big deal. But when I

682
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 3: saw Awful announcing rank you and Dan Horde as the

683
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 3: sixth best college football crew in in the among the

684
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 3: G four. So sorry to Miami University. Your radio crew

685
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 3: doesn't count, I guess, but number six, thank you, and

686
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 3: frankly underrated. As far as I'm concerned.

687
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 2: We've got this open door policy today. We do, we do.

688
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 2: There's Christmas music happening right outside the door.

689
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 3: Really quick. It did soften the blow. None of us

690
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 3: were named as one of the twenty greatest radio personalities

691
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 3: of all time by The Inquirer. Why does the acquire Hey,

692
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 3: I put Kelsey Conway on. I put Pat Brennan on. Yeah,

693
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 3: we're gonna make fun of Jason Williams when he writes

694
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 3: his inevitable that the has lost its Lunnar luster thing. Yeah,

695
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,439
Speaker 3: we put their people off. Can't get in the top

696
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 3: twenty of all time. Nobody on this radio station.

697
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,439
Speaker 2: Incredible unbelievable. What are you coming up on the show?

698
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 2: And outside of folks that want to stumble on in,

699
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 2: it's very festive.

700
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 3: It is very festive. There's a candle in front of you.

701
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 3: Let's start banging the drums. Sign Kyle Schwarber. Let's just

702
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 3: like where there's smoke, there's fire. Can somebody just come

703
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 3: out and say the Red should sign Kyle Schwarber.

704
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 8: You want me to say it, I'll say it. The

705
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 8: Red should sign Kyle Schwarber. The Red should sign Kyle Schwarber.

706
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 8: There's no reason not. You got him lead Off? You

707
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 8: get about hm lead Off? You gonna put them number two?

708
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 8: What do you think I'll hit him lead off.

709
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 3: I'll hit him where he wants. Kyle, where do you

710
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 3: want to back?

711
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 10: Seven?

712
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 3: First second, We'll give you an occasional day off on

713
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 3: like Ellie de la Cruz. Give me the reason why not?

714
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 3: Don't see it's because they won't do it. That's not

715
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 3: a reason why not. Tell me why they shouldn't is

716
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 3: because they can't afford it. Lie they could afford it.

717
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 3: Sometimes in life you have to decide I'm going outside

718
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 3: my budget. We'll explain. I'll make a comparison to my life,

719
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 3: because that's every race. I have a thing, I have

720
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 3: a potential one. He's thirty two years old. Who cares?

721
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 8: He turns thirty three in March, and there's not going

722
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 8: to be baseball more than likely next song.

723
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 3: I don't care. I d see that matter. No, I

724
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 3: want to win in twenty twenty six. Fair. I want

725
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 3: to get to the postseason in twenty twenty six. I

726
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 3: want to treat this year like the world is ending

727
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 3: next year.

728
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 13: Let me do this.

729
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,959
Speaker 3: I did this topic once when Walt Jockey was GM,

730
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 3: and because Walt Jockety had a sense of humor, he

731
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 3: laughed at it. I said, you should like some nut

732
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 3: job was claiming the world was going to end in

733
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 3: like twenty thirteen, and I'm like, go all in mayan calendar,

734
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 3: go all in on this year because the world's gonna end.

735
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 3: Why are you plan for a future that may not exist?

736
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 3: And they did that year, right, Matt Lato's all those guys,

737
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 3: they tried, they came close, they tried. I would do

738
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,439
Speaker 3: the same thing. Pretend baseball ceases to exist in twenty

739
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 3: twenty seven. Don't you want to be the team that

740
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 3: wins the final World Series?

741
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 8: Oh?

742
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 2: I like that. We were asked today, you could choose

743
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 2: one Bengals make the playoffs this year, Red signed Kyle Schwarber.

744
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 2: Pick one, Kyle Schwarber, That's what I said.

745
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 8: I said the Bengals because I think they could win

746
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 8: the Super Bowl if they get in the playoffs without

747
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 8: Mahomes and without Lamar Jackson.

748
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 3: There is certainly something to that because the AFC is

749
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 3: wide open. But like I'm a fatal flaws guy, and

750
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,839
Speaker 3: that's maybe a glass half in the way of looking

751
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 3: at it. What's your fatal flaw going to be? And

752
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 3: the fatal flaw is going to be their defense. I

753
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 3: think the dopamine rush of would be incredible and I'd

754
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 3: be kind of addicted to it. Yeah, like Griffy all

755
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 3: over again.

756
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 2: There is there's one player Friday Night in the shootout

757
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 2: that was alive the last time the Bearcats went and

758
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 2: won at the centas there's one player playing Friday Night

759
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 2: that's ever played in a Crosstown shootout before. Wow. I

760
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 2: would venture to say that if you went and polled

761
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 2: Xavier fans, they couldn't tell you maybe more than one

762
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 2: player on UC's team and vice versa. How much is

763
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 2: just the new landscape of college sports. Hurting the shootout,

764
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 2: it's not helping out that neither team is great right now.

765
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I know, I know for the dudes, like

766
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 3: I know Steve Logan senior year, he's talked about this.

767
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 3: His senior year was the year they went to Sentas

768
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 3: and one. I know how much it meant to him. Now,

769
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 3: if you remember the year before, he won't like me

770
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 3: mentioning this. He got his pocket picked at half price

771
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 3: by Lloyd Price. Not the first time or last time

772
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 3: Lloyd Price probably picked somebody's pocket. And so Steve as

773
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 3: a senior, was like, I want to come back and

774
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 3: win this game. Keny Martin leans into this raffort. Kenny

775
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 3: went one in three in it, yep, because it was

776
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 3: a part of his college basketball experience a year after

777
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 3: year after year. I know Jeremiah Davenport went oh to

778
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 3: four in the shootout. I know how much that hurt him.

779
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 3: And so I'm with you, I think that is hurt.

780
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 3: You know what I think the the equally amazing streak

781
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,720
Speaker 3: is when I was a freshman in college, Danny Fordson

782
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 3: scored forty points at the Cincinnati gardens Man and the

783
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 3: Bearcats beat Xavier that's the last time they've wanted in

784
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 3: consecutive years, ninety five, ninety six.

785
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 2: I also feel like with the teams, there's not like

786
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 2: a Jp mccurra, who you see fans disliked, or a

787
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 2: Jared Cumberland who Zavior fans disliked. There's just not that

788
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 2: characters animosity. There's not the characters. And like Patino today

789
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 2: didn't I mean, I don't want to say downplay it,

790
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 2: but he's like, we're approaching this like we do every

791
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 2: other game.

792
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 3: Every coach says that the first time. I mean every

793
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 3: coach says that.

794
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 2: Like, I just hope Wes is Lee. I hope Wes

795
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 2: is having former players come back and talk about the

796
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 2: meaning of this game. And I know kerk Crisa maybe

797
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 2: threw a little gasoline act with his postgame comments on

798
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 2: on Monday, but I do want that.

799
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 3: I do think there's something about the familiarity with dudes

800
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,240
Speaker 3: on the other team. JP mccua never had an especially

801
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 3: great game against UC, but you see fans just decided

802
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 3: we hate him. And I'll tell you this, by the

803
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 3: end of David West time and Xavier, I was ready

804
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 3: to take him to the NBA, Like I believe for

805
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 3: years people have talked about, well, it's lost its luster.

806
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 3: I don't think it's lost its luster. I think it's changed,

807
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 3: and I think in that regard. As much as a

808
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 3: fan of this era as I am, I think it's

809
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,919
Speaker 3: in this particular regard, it's changed in a way that's

810
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 3: not as good for the sport. Now at seven thirty

811
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 3: on Friday, when the bark goes in the air, there's

812
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 3: gonna be nothing better. But I agree, I do think

813
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 3: that the constant turnover. I think you're constantly having to

814
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 3: relay to guys. Here's what this rivalry means. But if

815
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 3: Bobba Miller has a big game, he's gonna be a

816
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 3: Xavier villain forever and likewise for you know, one of

817
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 3: their guys. Yeah, so whoever that may be. And I

818
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 3: use Boba because I think if he's healthy, he is

819
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 3: the best player on the floor. Yes, and that's a

820
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 3: factor in this game. We talk about it every year.

821
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 3: Jared Cumberland's senior year, he was the best player on

822
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 3: the floor. We went into the game thinking he should

823
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 3: be the best player on the floor. So it's about

824
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 3: one of two things. An unheralded guy that suddenly comes

825
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 3: from nowhere and has a great game. Zagers had many

826
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 3: more of those over the last twenty five years. Or

827
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 3: does the best player on the floor prove that he's

828
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 3: the best player on the floor. I think that should

829
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 3: be Bob doesn't mean it will be. I don't know

830
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 3: that he has enough of a resume for us to

831
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 3: say definitively that he is. We'll see what else you

832
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 3: got coming up on the show. I think I just

833
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 3: did a show for you perfect. Eric Wood's going to

834
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,439
Speaker 3: be on the show. Older high school Buffalo Bills radio

835
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 3: analysts talk about the game. On Sunday, we have that

836
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 3: Rick Boring will be on the show. Rick is going

837
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,720
Speaker 3: to talk Rick talking to Patino in the press conference

838
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 3: and Savior. And Rick has me as a guest on

839
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 3: his podcast tonight, and I'm gonna ask him, like, does

840
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 3: anybody on the Musketeer Report podcast want to hear me?

841
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 2: Like we can like fan request, I'm going to the

842
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 2: n KU game tonight to see Rick lovely so after

843
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 2: the holiday party, after.

844
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 3: The holiday party, because unlike Austin Elmore n Ku Alum,

845
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 3: I like the Norse. I like the can I drive

846
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 3: over there to go to games all the time with

847
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 3: an hour and a half drive to Highland Heights. The

848
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 3: last time I did have to go an hour and

849
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 3: a half because that daggum bridge was out. For a

850
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 3: bridge is fun. I know clowns that lit it on

851
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 3: fire in jail. I know, huh, I haven't been. I

852
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 3: don't have a good excuse. Who else? Richard Skinner, Amy Wagner.

853
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk about Joe Burrow. We'll hear from Joe

854
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 3: Burrow today and anyone else that comes in, anybody else

00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 8: at least all right. Well, I've just been recently hired,

00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 3: have started working here? I will ask like, are you

869

Speaker 3: you know I do work here. I'm like, oh sure,

00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 3: don't introduce anybody to anybody.

880
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 2: I agree, that's fair. Here they are, that's fair.
