Speaker 3: about the opportunity for yet another It's hard to believe

00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 2: been for you? Can you believe you've been riding the

109
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: wave and experiencing all this?

110
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 3: I truly cannot, Lance. I remember when I was a

111
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: freshman at Indiana. You know, it gets cold and the

112
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: fall and the winner and Indiana was in an overtime

113
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 3: thriller in football with Akron. My buddies and I were

114
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 3: watching in our dorm room. You could in one hand,

115
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 3: with one finger, you could point out and count how

116
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 3: many people were in the stands. There was truly no emotion,

117
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 3: there was no pride in it and to get there

118
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: at the time I did and experience that for a

119
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 3: full season, and then I covered the team as a

120
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: beat reporter last year. So the emergence of Signetti and

121
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 3: then that was kind of parlayed with everyone saying this

122
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: Indiana team, they had a light schedule, they got by,

123
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 3: but they lost whenever they played a big team. And

124
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 3: to no, I'll be sitting here fourteen and oh as

125
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 3: the favorite to win the national title now in the

126
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 3: semifinal round.

127
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: This is pretty surreal. Luke, give a listeners some background

128
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: who aren't aware. What year are you at? I you

129
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: and how did all of this come about that you're

130
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: doing these games.

131
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 3: So I'm a junior now at Indiana, and Indiana has

132
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: a extremely dynamic sports media program.

133
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 2: There's a lot of really talented students.

134
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 3: So early on freshman sophomore year, you're calling a lot

135
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 3: of you know, wrestling events.

136
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: I did field hockey, track and field swimming.

137
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 3: And then once you kind of do your time and

138
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 3: you continue to put in the work, you help others out.

139
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: I'm the co director of our student radio station that's

140
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 3: ninety nine point one FM in Bloomington, and these playoff games,

141
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: it's kind of a return for the work we do

142
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 3: throughout the year setting up events, getting credentialed. We broadcast

143
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: all the women's basketball, men's basketball, obviously football, men's and

144
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: women's soccer are on the radio. So there's a lot

145
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: of people that deserve credit for making this happen for me.

146
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: But the student radio station has definitely been my spot

147
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 3: when it comes to Indiana sports media and I'm just

148
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 3: so thankful for it.

149
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: Luke, are you I assume you're not out there as

150
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: a one man band. You've got a crew out there, correct.

151
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 3: We have a couple of guys, so really appreciate mister

152
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 3: Dave Abbott from seven hundred WLW. He actually reached out

153
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 3: and gave us sideline equipment for this game so that

154
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: we could even include more people. So it'll be myself.

155
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: The co director of the station is Ben Holler. He's

156
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 3: a senior from Mason, Ohio. He had their high school

157
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 3: really get going. When it comes to high school broadcasting,

158
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 3: that's an extremely rare thing all over the country. So

159
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 3: Ben and I will be on the call, and then

160
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: we have a third member of our crew who's on site,

161
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 3: Andrew Hillsman. He'll be our spotter, but also filling in

162
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 3: on the pregame shows halftime with our studio host Jack Schneider.

163
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: He's in Saint Exe Kid from Cincinnati, and then Graham

164
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 3: Nasho's from Los Angeles, will be on the sideline for

165
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 3: the game.

166
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 2: Unbelievable, What an unbelievable experience. Luke Brennaman checking in tonight

167
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: in advance of the tomorrow night's call the Indiana Hoosiers.

168
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 2: Take me back to the Rose Bowl experience what it

169
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: was like, And it felt like an army of IU

170
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: fans had invaded Pasadena for that thing. It truly did.

171
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 3: I got out there, I'd say two and a half

172
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 3: three days early, and you felt it immediately because all

173
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 3: you hear about, especially drawing up in the Midwest and Cincinnati,

174
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: is you know, the Alabama Faithful, the Crimson Tide, and

175
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 3: it was.

176
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 2: All Indiana fans.

177
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 3: And you know, I don't have any bias when I'm

178
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 3: calling these games, obviously, but at the end of the day,

179
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: I'm a student at Indiana, So I was excited to

180
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 3: see how many Hoosiers have shown up. And I think

181
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 3: a lot of people with this football success are finally

182
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 3: realizing Indiana out of all public universities has the largest

183
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 3: alumni base in the United States of America. So these

184
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: people have kind of been a sleeping giant. And we

185
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: know how the Big ten in the Midwest loves their

186
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 3: football and there's finally something to celebrate, and in a

187
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 3: season like this, it's hard not to say this is

188
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 3: like the most once in a lifetime thing ever. But

189
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 3: then you dive into the numbers, it's like, well, Kurt

190
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 3: Signetti is going to be at Indiana through twenty thirty,

191
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: so is it.

192
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 2: But right now it's.

193
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 3: As surreal as it gets.

194
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: I mean, there's really no other way to put it.

195
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 2: You've you mentioned all the different sports, you've called, you

196
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 2: called the Cape Cod League last summer. You've been around

197
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: a lot of coaches, managers, ever been around anybody like

198
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 2: Kurt Signetti?

199
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 3: Truly nobody who can dominate a room like that. And

200
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 3: Lance had so lucky growing up being in you know,

201
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 3: NFL production meetings with quarterbacks. But when it comes to

202
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 3: a coach, and especially in these college football coaches, whether

203
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 3: it's the portal or just recruiting in general, I always

204
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 3: thought that they carried themselves like politicians, because if you

205
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 3: say one wrong thing, you know there goes the five

206
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 3: star quarterback because he's got five other options that have

207
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 3: two hundred million dollar facilities and that are now paying

208
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 3: him just as much money. And with coach Signetti. I

209
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: covered the team last year, so I went to the

210
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: Big ten media days in the summer and he went

211
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 3: up there and kind of had another one of his

212
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 3: famous press conference moments where he said, every time I've

213
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 3: been picked in the bottom of the league, we end

214
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 3: up winning the league the next season. Well, he came

215
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 3: close last year and they won the league this year.

216
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 3: So to see that unfold and just kind of being

217
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 3: the only media in the Monday availability, the Tuesday coaches

218
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: press conference, he was just the student media, the sports

219
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 3: information directors, obviously the local writers and those guys do

220
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 3: great work. But now it's every single time he's talking,

221
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 3: there's a Molly McGrath in there, there's ESPN Radio in there,

222
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 3: and it's unbelievable because he still has that same swagger

223
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 3: and he's not doing it all for clicks, because a

224
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 3: lot of the stuff that he says that generates these clicks,

225
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 3: you actually turn on the TV and you see it.

226
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 3: His team plays sixty minutes, whether they're up by thirty

227
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: yes or up by three, and I think in large

228
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 3: part it's led to the success.

229
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: All right, let me get to the important stuff. How

230
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: does your dad appear to be handling his the Ohio

231
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 2: State Buckeyes suffering back to back losses to end their season.

232
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 3: Oh man, this is the sensitive topic in the household.

233
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 3: I mean, who would have thought. I give my dad credit.

234
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: He's a heck of a fan. But you know, some

235
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 3: of my buddies are looking at me. They're like, your

236
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 3: dad's a Buck Guy fan, but he's got to be

237
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: rooting for Indiana.

238
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: You know, his son goes to Indiana.

239
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 3: And I wouldn't want my dad to change his fandom

240
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 3: just because of where I go to school and to

241
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 3: join my team. My dad is so supportive of everything

242
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 3: I want to do. I mean everything, if you listen

243
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 3: to the broadcast tomorrow and anything good. At least I've

244
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 3: learned from him when it comes to calling these games.

245
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 3: So he helps me where I want to help. When

246
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: it comes to fandom and Indiana football. I'll leave him

247
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 3: to the second place Buck Guys in the big time. Ah,

248
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 3: very well done, Very well done.

249
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: So give me a thought look ahead into your crystal

250
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 2: ball for tomorrow night. Just give me a thought on

251
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: the matchup that you rematch between the two tomorrow night. Oh,

252
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 2: it's going to be a battle.

253
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are looking back to

254
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 3: the first matchup in Eugene back in October. Indiana won

255
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 3: that game by ten, so I think it's a little

256
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: bit off putting. Oregon missed a sub forty yard field

257
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 3: goal in that game. Indiana had a backup kicker Drill

258
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 3: a fifty nine yard field goal. Dante More ended the

259
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 3: game with back to back interceptions. This Oregon team's better

260
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 3: than that, and it starts with the line of scrimmage.

261
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 3: When it comes the keys to the game, Orgon's gonna

262
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 3: have to run the ball well. They're one of those

263
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 3: teams like Indiana that runs it extremely well but has

264
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 3: a top five pick caliber quarterback where once they start

265
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 3: getting four or five six yards of carry on first

266
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 3: and second down, it opens up the explosives. And that's

267
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 3: where these defenses. I gotta give the edge to Indiana.

268
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 3: They're obviously the best defense in the country in just

269
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: about every single important metric, but I think it starts

270
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 3: up front and then who's going to hit the big ones?

271
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 3: Because third down has been so key when it comes

272
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 3: to this time of year. Indiana is the number one

273
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 3: team at converting on third down offensively, and they're number

274
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 3: two in the country when it comes to getting off

275
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: the field on third down. So those third and fourth down,

276
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 3: those critical situations. Both coaches throughout the press conferences this

277
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 3: week have really said that's when we need to be

278
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: our best, Luke.

279
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: Are my listeners able to check in and catch your

280
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 2: game tomorrow night online? They can so. Our student radio

281
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 2: has a website.

282
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 3: It's wiux dot org and then in the upper left

283
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 3: hand corner there's a little button on our website that

284
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 3: says listen. We have a couple of different stations, but

285
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 3: our FM station is ninety nine point one and if

286
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 3: you click that right there, it'll be it's a twenty

287
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 3: four hour or twenty four to seven live stream of

288
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 3: our radio station. It's just like ten to fifteen seconds

289
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 3: behind the actual station because of the internet delay, but

290
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 3: it matches up pretty well.

291
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: All right. Last question, other important question, as you're aware

292
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: your grandfather and Amanda, they're like globe trotters, they're everywhere.

293
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 2: Do you know at this very moment at six twenty nine,

294
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 2: do you know what city, state, country, continent, providence, providence

295
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: that they might be at at this very moment. I

296
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: got asked this question a lot.

297
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 3: Well, thankfully I can be a primary source because I

298
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 3: had dinner last night in Cincinnati, Ohio with Marty. He

299
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: was willing enough to send me out and give me

300
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 3: a couple of kind words. I know that they're in

301
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 3: town right now, but hey, if Marty was here for

302
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 3: dinner last night, he might be in the US Virgin Islands.

303
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: Fine mid afternoon tomorrow very Well said, Hey, this was

Speaker 2: excited for him. Let's take time, get a check on news.

314
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:03,760

315
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: Carrier Sports Talk presented by Kelsey Chevelet seven hundred WLW

316
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: Let's talk Bengals. A week that's included a statement from

317
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 2: Mike Brown, Zach's declaration his coaching staff expected to return,

318

Speaker 2: and tomorrow's much anticipated Duke Toba news conference. My guest,

319
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: next guest covering it all for Local twelve, Local twelve

320
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: dot com. That must mean we're welcoming in skinny, Richard Skinner,

321
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: How are you?

322
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 4: Howm good lance are you?

323
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 2: I'm well, I'm curious. What do you make you've been

324
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: You've been around the Bengals and covering the Bengals for

325
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: years and decades. What do you make of Duke deciding

326
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 2: to talk tomorrow.

327
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 4: I think it was a decision that was probably made

328
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 4: above him, and they just said, hey, man, you're gonna

329
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 4: have to go answer for some of the stuff because

330
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 4: Zach Taylor gets asked a lot of questions about personnel

331
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 4: and a lot of times Zach, in fairness to to

332
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 4: that's a question for Duke and Mike Petrolia famously a

333
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago said well, we don't get a

334
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 4: test to talk to Duke, and Zach's comeback was, well,

335
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 4: I'm sorry for that. It was one of the great

336
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 4: tay Days I've seen in a long time in a

337
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 4: press conference, and that was at Zach being you know,

338
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 4: you know, nasty. It was. I think he was taken

339
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 4: aback by Mike's response. It was great because we requested

340
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 4: Duke a bunch uh and I get a lot of

341
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 4: a lot of general managers in the league don't talk

342
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 4: on a regular basis, and we're not asking for a

343
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 4: regular basis. We asked a bye week, which seemed like

344
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 4: a perfect time when you're sitting at three and five

345
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 4: and on the custom of not making the playoffs. As

346
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 4: things progressed, it seemed like a perfect time and this

347
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 4: felt like a perfect time. And we asked last week

348
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 4: as a group and they capitulated, and credit to them

349
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 4: for doing so, because I think this isn't everybody's looking

350
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 4: at it is like, this is our press conference, This

351
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 4: is Duke's press conference. This is Duke's chance to answer

352
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 4: questions that you, as a fan want to know. You know,

353
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 4: I know people are gonna go, well, you should be fired.

354
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 4: What do you answer that's not gonna happen. I mean,

355
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 4: one of my famous ones there was there was a

356
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 4: reporter that came in from a stony years ago, and

357
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 4: he joked at one guy in his country when I

358
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 4: came in to do a story on Marcus Hunt, and

359
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 4: he famously told the story of I think it was

360
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 4: a hockey team, the Tony hockey team, where reporter walked

361
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 4: up with his UH tape recorder and simply said, you're

362
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 4: a disgrace. Please respect, please respond. No, we're not. We're

363
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 4: not going there with this. There's a level of respect,

364
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 4: but there have to be some tough questions to ask.

365
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 4: We've all talked to the group about you know, how

366
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 4: to ask them and what to ask and make sure

367
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 4: we all get the i's dotted and teased cross and

368
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 4: hopefully it comes across that way and hopefully Duke. Hopefully

369
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 4: Duke responds that way. He doesn't come out with with

370
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 4: with dis the blazing and he could he could just

371
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 4: shut everything down and go I'm a genius and you

372
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 4: guys are idiots and don't ask me questions. I don't

373
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 4: think that's gonna.

374
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: Happen, Skinny. Is there something or things in particular you're

375
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 2: most curious to hear him address?

376
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, two things. One does the book literally stop with

377
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 4: him on night? I think it does. I think we

378
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 4: all believe it does? Does it stop with Mike? Does

379
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 4: it stop with Paul Brown? You know, Paul Brown, the

380
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 4: grandson of or Mike Brown, the son and grandson of

381
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 4: Paul Brown? Does to stop with him? To stop with

382
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 4: the coaching staff? I mean somebody has to make that

383
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 4: answer on draft night, right, Like I'm making the call.

384
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 4: You guys can all give your opinions, but here's the call,

385
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 4: and I'm making the call on this. We don't have

386
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 4: to all be in agreement, but I'm making the call.

387
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 4: Who makes that call? And then I'm a big believer

388
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 4: of if you ask this, why do you believe you're

389
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 4: the guy to get this team out of the whole

390
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 4: personnel wise and fix this roster? It hasn't worked the

391
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 4: last three off seasons and that's a long time in

392
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 4: the NFL. I mean, John Harbaut just got fired after

393
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 4: one bad year and it was probably time. I mean,

394
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 4: things run its course. We know that lace things run

395
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 4: its course. But he's borderline a Hall of fame coach,

396
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 4: and the Ravens said, Yep, this is not acceptable. You're gone,

397
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 4: and so what why should you get a fourth off

398
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 4: season Duke Tobin to fix this roster? What makes you

399
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 4: think you're gonna do it. And then to the comment

400
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 4: from Mike the other day to State where he said,

401
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 4: we're gonna and I'm paraphrasing completely here, but we're gonna

402
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 4: look at all avenues to to you know, how we

403
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 4: do business, how we do things. All right? Does that

404
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 4: mean you're gonna change the way you scout? Does that

405
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 4: mean you're gonna change the way you evaluate? Are you

406
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 4: going to suddenly go, yeah, we're gonna do production over traits?

407
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 4: Trades over production hasn't worked. Let's do production over traits.

408
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 4: Is that a case?

409
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: Is it?

410
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 4: We're gonna add more scouts. I'm interested. I'm fully interested

411
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 4: in that. I mean, if you're gonna, if you're gonna

412
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 4: look at all things in your organization to make things better,

413
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 4: a few more eyeballs wouldn't hurt.

414
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 5: Now.

415
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 4: We talked to Duke at the combine and he said, no,

416
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 4: I'm good. I got enough voices, I got enough people

417
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 4: to see things. Do you though, I mean, honestly, do

418
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 4: you because it hasn't worked for the last few years,

419
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 4: and in this day and age where things change constantly

420
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 4: in every business, in our business, right like twenty years ago.

421
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 4: Twitter wasn't it thing, and Facebook wasn't the thing, and

422
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 4: TikTok wasn't a thing, and you know all these things.

423
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 4: You know, blogs weren't a big thing. They were a

424
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 4: little bit of a thing, and they were a big thing.

425
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 4: You Tube wasn't a thing. For the most part, things

426
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 4: change and evolved. Can you guys change and evolve too?

427
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 4: And how do you do it?

428
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 2: If there's one thing working in their favor this offseason?

429
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 2: It's obvious that their needs are mostly centered on one

430
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 2: side of the ball, on the defensive side. Is is

431
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 2: the defense fixable in one off season?

432
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 4: It wasn't twenty twenty one, right, I mean you brought

433
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 4: in Mike Hilton, you brought in Cheetoh Chia might have

434
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 4: come the year before them excuse me, Cray Anderson came.

435
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 4: I mean it was a little bit fixable and they

436
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 4: did it. Now can you do that again with the

437
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 4: money you have? I think you can. So you have

438
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 4: about five or six spots you probably have to fix.

439
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 4: That seems like a lot, But can you fix four

440
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,719
Speaker 4: or five of those? I think you can. You can

441
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 4: do it through a free agency and the draft.

442
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 2: If you do it right, it's getting other are there

443
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: contract extensions that you consider to be layups that should

444
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 2: be on the table this offseason.

445
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, we know they're wlayups because they're always you know, contentious, right. Uh,

446
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 4: you know, DJ Turner should be extended, Dak So should

447
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 4: be extended. I get a story today on all the

448
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 4: all the current free agency Bengals have. What do you

449
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 4: do with Joseph Osai? What do you do with Cam

450
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 4: Taylor Britt? What do you do with Believe it or not?

451
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 4: Geno Stone? I mean, it's not like you've got a

452
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 4: pleasure of faieties at the moment. Do you look to go, Hey, Gino,

453
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 4: let's sign you for a one year, proven deal as

454
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 4: a backup, not as a starter. Don't get me wrong.

455
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 4: He can't be a starter by any stretching imagination. You

456
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 4: have to either go through free agency or the draft

457
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 4: to fix that spot. You know, Joe Flacco, you have

458
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 4: a bunch of free agents you have to think about too. Uh.

459
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 4: But yeah it can't. Yeah, I think it can, but

460
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 4: you have to be really judicious with everything you do.

461
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 2: Is the Trey Hendrickson story, uh finished here?

462
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 4: And I think it has to be. I mean, I

463
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 4: even road and because he was one of the free

464
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 4: agents obviously, right, So I addressed that top of the

465
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 4: top of the line, excusing you're not gonna franchise tag him.

466
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 4: It's twenty six and some change, and probably gonna be

467
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 4: higher than that. But that's where the franchise tag number is.

468
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 4: The moment. That's too steep for a guy who just

469
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 4: had major surgery, who has just already he turned thirty

470
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 4: one in December, so he's gonna turn thirty two into

471
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 4: next season late the next seasonbody's gonna turn thirty two.

472
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 4: Didn't have great production. Twenty six milk for a guy

473
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 4: like that is extraordinarily steep. Do you let him test

474
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 4: the market? Maybe the market doesn't respond to him the

475
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 4: way he thinks. He smile like, hey, man, when I'm healthy,

476
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 4: I'm starter. Who's gonna get you sixteen sacks? Seventeen sacks,

477
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 4: fifteen sacks? Maybe the rest of the murder goes, No,

478
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 4: you're not. You're thirty one going on a thirty two,

479
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 4: coming off major surgery. You didn't produce a whole lot

480
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 4: this past year. No you're not. And at that point

481
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 4: maybe he does. But it feels like there was so

482
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 4: much animosity between both sides the last offseason it just

483
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 4: doesn't seem salvageable or fixable. I think the more realistic

484
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 4: possibility is the Joseph Osai situation, where you go, all right, man,

485
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 4: go test the market. If you get sorter money, We're

486
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 4: not We're not going to respond to sorrow, big time

487
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 4: sorter money. But if it's what we did last year,

488
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 4: one year, six and a half mil, we'll bring you back.

489
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 4: But yeah, Trey, it feels like that ship is sailed.

519
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 2: Iowa State seventy three sixty. I had that in front

520
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,200

521
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 2: program history. My next guest played for the Bearcats was

522
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 2: a graduate assistant was an assistant. Now in her third

523
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 2: season as head coach. What a treat to welcome in

00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 2: the head coach that would be Katrina Mary the coach,

525
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 2: Lance McAllister, how are you?

526
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 5: I'm doing great, Lance, Thank you so much for having me.

527
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 2: Man oh Man, the environment last night, over three thousand

528
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 2: on hand. Congrats on the winner. What a shot of

529
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 2: confidence it must be for your team.

530
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 5: It was a good night, and I think that we

531
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 5: had an opportunity to show was that when we have

532
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 5: our full roster and we'll have a chance to do

533
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 5: something really special. So we were just happy to be

534
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 5: out there and competing together with everybody who was available.

535
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: Seventy one sixty three the final score. I knew I

536
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:30,959
Speaker 2: had that written down somewhere.

537
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 5: Man.

538
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 2: Watching Maya Pari last night, twenty six points. I think

539
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 2: she scored in double figures at eighteen or sixteen straight games. Now,

540
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 2: what are performance she turned in for your group last night?

541
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 5: She's amazing. You know. My favorite thing about Maya is

542
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 5: her mentality. She works incredibly hard, She practices really hard.

543
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 5: She is an example for our entire team, but especially

544
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 5: our six pression of what it was like to be

545
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 5: a pro and to show up every day and to

546
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 5: be committed to your craft to be happier. This year

547
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 5: wears bread and black.

548
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: I believe you held the Cyclones twenty six points below

549
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 2: their season average and going in the story. One of

550
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 2: the storyline, maybe the biggest storyline in college basketball this year,

551
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: has been Audie Crooks, who plays for Iowa State. She

552
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 2: leads the country in scoring twenty nine a game. Your

553
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 2: group collectively holds her to twenty three, six point below

554
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 2: her average. She is such a force. Tell me how

555
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,719
Speaker 2: you went about doing the job you guys did on her.

556
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 5: I love how you said the group, because that's exactly

557
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,479
Speaker 5: what it took. We talked a lot about winning the position.

558
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 5: And we have four or five players on our team,

559
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 5: and they all give different looks offensively and defensively, and

560
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 5: we just kept rolling them out there, one at a time,

561
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 5: every couple of minutes. Mary Cardon, whose minutes had been

562
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 5: limited practice as Audi Crukz for the last two days,

563
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 5: and then she turned around and went in there and

564
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 5: guarded her Destiny alliance. They are very strong, but they're

565
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 5: short I in comparison to Audi. And then Delaney lacks

566
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 5: a little bit of girl, but she's got long spaghetti

567
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 5: arms that we think are pretty annoyed. So we just

568
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 5: ran all for problem matter and then just try to

569
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 5: keep her off balance and then put an emphasis on

570
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 5: everyone else and then the paint rebound in.

571
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 2: The ball well, we were really interested to see the

572
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 2: three time Miss Ohio basketball stand out from Purcell, Mary

573
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: and d Alexander. She missed the first does her show

574
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 2: games for you guys with an ankle injury? Seven big

575
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 2: points last night? I remember early in the fourth Rana

576
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 2: play for she scored what and those were big points

577
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 2: she contributed in the fourth quarter, weren't they?

578
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 5: Absolutely? And I mean everyone knows that these are McDonald's

579
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 5: all American. And my favorite part about her is she

580
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 5: very well could just tap out this season and say, hey,

581
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 5: I know, I'm not where I need to be in

582
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 5: terms of you know, having this surgery and being out

583
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 5: and saying I'm just gonna wait, Mary, I'm gonna wait

584
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 5: till next year. But what she realizes is that she

585
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 5: can have a positive impact on this season for her team.

586
00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 5: And honestly, she's chosen Cincinnati and basketball her teammates over

587
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 5: you know, anything that anyone may say individually about her

588
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 5: and where she may be in her journey, and I'm

589
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 5: really really proud of her and grateful that she's making

590
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 5: a decision for us.

591
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: You know, there were moments last night I had to

592
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 2: laugh at the legendary basketball coach Al maguire once famously

593
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 2: said the best thing about freshmen they become sophomores. If

594
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 2: she had big moments, then there were a couple of moments.

595
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 2: I looked to you and I think you may have mouthed,

596
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 2: what are you doing?

597
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 5: I'll tell you if you come to our game, we'll

598
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 5: see that a lot. I mean, you just can't help it.

599
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 5: I mean I think that every coach and every team

600
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 5: has the university right. But joined Crawford, who does a

601
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 5: great job for us coming off the bench, who played

602
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 5: in one game then miss seven. It comes back in

603
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 5: the first game she plays and Kaleiah de Vilisi is out,

604
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 5: so she plays thirty five minutes. We lose Kylie Torrance,

605
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 5: who is our starter at the four spot. Like you mentioned,

606
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 5: we didn't have d for twelve games. I mean, you

607
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 5: name it. It has happened. They have the three people

608
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 5: out of thirteen that played in every game so far

609
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 5: this year, and all that matters to us is that

610
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 5: we hear the people that support us and are positive

611
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 5: and know that it may not look the way we

612
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 5: thought it would or the way we wanted it to,

613
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,959
Speaker 5: but all we can do is keep taking steps forward

614
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 5: every day.

615
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 2: Coach, I'm big in to bang for your buck and

616
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 2: the value of an entertainment dollar, and you've got a

617
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 2: huge one coming up Saturday at home at two seventeen

618
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 2: and no Texas Tech. My wife and I went last night.

619
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 2: We sat I think ten rows up from the floor,

620
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: ten dollars a piece for tickets, six bucks to Perkin

621
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 2: Corey Garage, big win, big environment. That was banged for

622
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 2: our buck.

623
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,719
Speaker 5: Last night, and that makes me feel good. I'm really

624
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 5: happy you had a good time, and we tell people

625
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 5: that all the time. You know, just come check us out.

626
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 5: I think you're gonna love how hard we play. I

627
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 5: think you're gonna love how gritty we are. And yes,

628
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 5: you're gonna see some mistakes. And we're playing four of

629
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 5: our six freshmen, heavy, heavy minutes, a lot of the

630
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 5: situations that they're in therein for the first time, and

631
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 5: there's gonna be a learning curve there. But you're going

632
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 5: to see a dollar.

633
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 4: From loose balls.

634
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 5: You're going to see us flying through the air for

635
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 5: rebounds and in all of my hear he's knocking down shots.

636
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 5: You'll be able to see some good offense too.

637
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 2: Hey, please, if you think about it, pass along my

638
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 2: best What are your assistants? Who was great seeing her

639
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 2: on the sidelines last night, Abby Owings. She's one of

640
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 2: my all time favorites, A feisty point guard from my

641
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 2: part of the woods in Independence, Kentucky and Simon Kenton

642
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: and Thomas Moore. I'm a big fan of her and

643
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 2: it was great to see her on the sidelines last night.

644
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, she's a champion and such a great coach. And

645
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 5: we talked a lot of the time about how you know,

646
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 5: when we're recruiting, I'm like, find me. We call her Ao,

647
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 5: you know, find me in Ao, right, somebody who can

648
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 5: knock down shots. That's quick, fast, athletic, they can handle

649
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 5: the ball. That's the niece's on defense. And she probably

650
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 5: killed me if she knew. But I mean we throw

651
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 5: her in practice sometimes and she she gives these kids hell.

652
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 4: I'm telling you she is.

653
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 5: They don't pay attention to her, so knock down the

654
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 5: three in their face. He'll take the ball from them,

655
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 5: you know. It's just a I can't tell you. This

656
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 5: is the first time that we've had a losing non

657
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 5: conference record, right, this is the first time that we've

658
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 5: had this type of adversity with being young and being injured.

659
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 5: And I cannot imagine feeling this good about a season

660
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 5: and a team. And I know it's just because of

661
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 5: the people that we've recruited and the people that I've

662
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 5: hired so.

663
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 2: Well said hey, I'm so happy for you. It was

664
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 2: a cool scene seeing everybody celebrate on the court and

665
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 2: on the postgame TV cameras, on the court, and just

666
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 2: to look on everybody's faces. It was a really cool

667
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 2: vibe last night. Congrats and best of luck the rest

668
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 2: of the year.

669
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 5: Thank you so much. We look forward to seeing you again.

670
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 2: All right, take care coach.

671
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 5: All right, YouTube bekas, there you go.

672
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 2: Katrina Merriweather seventy one sixty three last night over number eleven,

673
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 2: Iowa State, highest ranked win in program history. And I

674
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 2: got to tell you, it hit me because of programming

675
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 2: last night. I was not on and when I realized

676
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: that last week I looked at I said, wait a minute,

677
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 2: it's Iowa State and it's Audie Crooks. Not that I

678
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 2: didn't want to just see the UC women by themselves.

679
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 2: But Audie Crooks is the story in college basketball this year.

680
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 2: Scored over forty five different games. I think she dropped

681
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 2: forty seven on TCU or forty on Indiana. Came in

682
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 2: leading the country and scoring at twenty nine points. You

683
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 2: talk about a force down low and they just continue

684
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: to throw waves of defense at her and arms and

685
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 2: bodies and kept her six below or average at twenty

686
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 2: three and get the win. A really neat moment last

687
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 2: night at fifth third. Glad we were able to be there,

688
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,160

Speaker 2: They are fantastic. They are family. By the way, if

737
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 2: you've been thinking about heading there from Kentucky into Indiana,

738
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 2: that that bridge construction is done. You talking about clear

739
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 2: sailing now, don't worry about it now when you're we're

740
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 2: headed there, and when you get there, tell him. I

741
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 2: said hey to my guys at Kelsey Chevrolet. I can't

742
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 2: begin to accurately put into the find the right words

743
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 2: for how much I appreciate their friendship, their loyalty, their support,

744
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 2: and their dedication to being a part of my shows

745
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 2: and to this station. Can't wait for what's ahead for

746
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 2: a Red season with Kelsey Chevrolet, extra innings and everything

747
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 2: else involved. All right, so the Red's news at this moment.

748
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 2: The Reds have now confirmed they avoid arbitration with seven

749
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 2: players Will Benson, TJ. Friedel Nicolodolo, Gavin Lux, Tony Santion,

750
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 2: Brady Singer, and Spencer Steer. They agree to one year

751
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 2: terms avoiding arbitration. Arbitration is kind of I don't want

752
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 2: to get too deep in the weeds. It's basically this

753
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 2: the shortest, easiest way to explain it. A player in

754
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 2: their first three years in the big leagues makes the

755
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 2: minimum salary. Minimum salary is around eight hundred thousand dollars

756
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 2: a year in year. In most cases, in year four, five,

757
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 2: and six, they're eligible for arbitration. That means they're going

758
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 2: to get a raise, and the player's side and his

759
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 2: representatives offer up a number. We think he's worth this.

760
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 2: The Reds offer up a number and say, well, we

761
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 2: think you're worth this, and then the two sides can

762
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 2: either come to a middle ground on it, or if

763
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 2: they can't, they go to arbitration. And it's not a

764
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 2: really fun process because in essence, you're sitting in a

765
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 2: room and an arbitrator a third party will listen to

766
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 2: both sides and then rule on which side money is

767
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 2: the amount. So imagine sitting there with your bosses and

768
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 2: they're explaining to the arbitrator why you're not worth the

769
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 2: money that you're asking for, and you know, well, you

770
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 2: know he didn't do this in the clutch, and he

771
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 2: hit this with runners in scoring position. He's really not

772
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,919
Speaker 2: good defensively, we only think he's worth this. That's tough

773
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 2: to sit through and it can get very contentious. So

774
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 2: teams don't like to go to arbitration, so they avoided

775
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:29,479
Speaker 2: that with seven reds. Today, it would appear unless something

776
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 2: drastically changes, and the Reds are confirming it's with seven.

777
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 2: That means they're going to arbitration with three guys Tyler Stevenson,

778
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 2: Graham Ashcraft and Matt McClain. It is interesting this second

779
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,479
Speaker 2: wave tonight since I give you the sports headlines at six.

780
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 2: According to reports from MLB dot com, Mark finesand they

781
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 2: avoided with three players since our earlier report, and that's

782
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 2: Brady Singer who got twelve point seven five million, Nicolodolo

783
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 2: who got four point seven five million, and Tony Santion

784
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,959
Speaker 2: who got one point eight million. What's interesting the projections

785
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 2: based on the number the performance of those players. Brady

786
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 2: Singer was projected to make eleven point nine. He got

787
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 2: twelve point seven, So that's eight hundred thousand above what

788
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 2: it was projected the Reds were gonna have to pay him.

789
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 2: The Stevens or the Lodolo number is about four hundred

790
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 2: thousand above what the Reds were projected to have to

791
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:32,959
Speaker 2: pay him. The Santion salary one point eight is six

792
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 2: hundred thousand below what the Reds were projected to have

793
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 2: to pay him. So the net and all this is

794
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 2: the Reds came out minus six hundred k, six hundred

795
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 2: k more than it was thought going in they'd have

796
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 2: to pay those three combined. I hope that didn't get

797
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 2: too confusing. So it's good that seven are done. It's

798
00:38:55,680 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 2: interesting that they're not done with those three. And Matty

799
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 2: McLain's an interesting case because Matt technically not again, not

800
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 2: to get too complicated, instead of three arbitration trips, he's

801
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 2: gonna get a fourth. He's what's called a super two player.

802
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 2: And that's really hard to explain the easiest way he

803
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 2: gets a fourth year of arbitration. It's a real thin

804
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 2: line about service time and how much time he spent

805
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,720
Speaker 2: in the major leagues, and by like a couple of days,

806
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 2: it benefits him that he gets another year of arbitration.

807
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 2: That's the best I can do explaining it for now.

808
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 2: Lot later on in this hour, let me get to

809
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 2: this to begin the hour, because it was this you

810
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: know me, I love on this date. It was this date,

811
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 2: and it's almost impossibly believe this was twenty years ago

812
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 2: tonight or late this afternoon. The Bengals first playoff appearance

813
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 2: in fifteen years Bengals Steelers Wild Card Playoff Game sixty

814
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 2: seven thousand, in eight hundred and fifty Aeth then Paul

815
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 2: Brown Stadium, you are going to hear the call from

816
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 2: Brad Johansson and Dave Lapham. Here is how it sounded.

817
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 6: Palmer on second down as he drops to throw and

818
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 6: looking long right side, got Chris Henry out.

819
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 4: Inside the third at taken down inside the Stanlers twenty

820
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 4: five yard line by Troy Palmado.

821
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:28,959
Speaker 6: And you have Carson Palmer's down.

822
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 4: Carson Palmer is wriggling around chemov on all Hoffman put

823
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 4: the hit on Carson Palmer.

824
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 2: I will never forget the the all out euphoria, the excitement,

825
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 2: you heard the crowd, Oh my goodness, first time in

826
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: fifteen years. Second play of the game up top Chris Henry,

827
00:40:50,760 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 2: followed by the absolute emergency breake, stopping into silence and

828
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 2: eyes going back to Carson Palmer on the turf, complete

829
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 2: tear of the ACL the mcl A, dislocated kneecap, damage

830
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 2: to the pateeller tendon, complete reconstruction, surgery, carted off the field,

831
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 2: taken to the hospital. Bengals led by John Kittna, actually

832
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 2: got to halftime leading seventeen to fourteen. Then if you remember,

833
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 2: there was like all heck broke loose at halftime with

834
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 2: Chad Johnson, and various reports of stories of altercations and

835
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 2: frustrations and Chad, you know, frustrated with the offense and

836
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 2: not having Carson, Palmer and Yankee. He was hooked up

837
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 2: to an IV getting fluids during halftime and yanked the

838
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 2: IV out and a glass broke and there was a

839
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 2: scuffling and trying to calm him down, and Marvin was involved,

840
00:41:53,360 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 2: and oh, Hugh Jackson was involved in various very levels

841
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 2: to that story of exactly what took place that I

842
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 2: won't get into. It was just very chaotic at halftime,

843
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 2: and after all that, they had to go back out

844
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 2: onto the field without Carson for the second half, and

845
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 2: the Steelers scored twenty four unanswered and won the game

846
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 2: thirty one seventeen, ending the Bengals season. Oh man, twenty

847
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 2: years ago, tonight, twenty years ago. Unbelievable. All right, let's

848
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 2: do this. I have stayed relatively on track tonight. I

849
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: think I've been very good at time management, clock management

850
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 2: of these segments. So let's stick with it. Continue. I

851
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 2: thought on the college football playoffs, which kick off in

852
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes and more. And then our good friend Tyler

853
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 2: Bradshaw round the corner at seven point thirty five. Yeah,

854
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 2: let's do that. Next Sarnold Carrier Sports Talk presented by

876
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 2: All right, we're eleven minutes away from the college football

877
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 2: Playoffs semi finals getting underway. This group before is it's new,

878
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 2: it's different, it's fresh. The playoffs to this point have

879
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 2: been fantastic unless you're I guess Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia.

880
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,240
Speaker 2: But I think a lot of people say good Ohio State, Alabama,

881
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 2: Georgia lost. I'm tired of seeing those teams. Let's get

882
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 2: new teams in here in Indiana and Old Miss and

883
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 2: Miami are making their first ever appearance in the College

884
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 2: football Playoffs. There's so many storylines. All four coaches in

885
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 2: the semi finals are former Nick Sabit assistants at Alabama

886
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 2: at one point, which is truly incredible. We've seen Alabama

887
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 2: suffrage worst Bowl loss in school history, Old misses and

888
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 2: I've lost track. Old Miss is borrowing at least a

889
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 2: couple of assistants that their former coach, Lane Kiffin took

890
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 2: with him to LSU, and I think they're still arguing

891
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 2: about that, and I don't know how many are still

892
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 2: behind versus left to be with him. Indiana I won

893
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 2: their first bowl game since nineteen ninety one and the

894
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 2: Copper Bowl nineteen ninety one. They won their first bowl

895
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,720
Speaker 2: game since ninety one, and they're playing in the National

896
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 2: College Football Semi Finals tonight. The Miami quarterback Carson Beck

897
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 2: led Georgia Georgia to the College Football Playoffs. Last year

898
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 2: he got hurt. Indiana is in the final four, and

899
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 2: historically Indiana has the second most losses in the history

900
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 2: of college football. You have the Laane Kiffin factor, as

901
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 2: I alluded to, and the fact not just the assistant

902
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,240
Speaker 2: argument back and forth Tuga war. LSU, his new school,

903
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 2: actually agreed to pay his bonuses from his old school

904
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 2: when he was at at Ole Miss. Part of the

905
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 2: contract terms included bonuses if they advanced in the College

906
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 2: Football playoffs, and he earns money for each win by

907
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 2: Old Miss. If Old Miss wins the national championship, he

908
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 2: gets a million dollars from LSU, not Old Miss, his

909
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 2: old school. LSU said hey, you're coming here, We'll cover

910
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 2: all those bonuses. So Lane Kiffin is recruiting and building

911
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 2: LSU and watching the team that he left because he's

912
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 2: probably in part he thought, I believe I'm gonna have

913
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 2: a better chance to win a national championship at LSU

914
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 2: than I do here at Old Miss. Hello and behold on.

915
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 2: Nobody told Old Miss they're in the final four. But

916
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 2: he could get a million dollars if they win tonight,

917
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,919
Speaker 2: he's guaranteed, or if they Yeah, if they win tonight,

918
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 2: he's guaranteed seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars in the bonus.

919
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 2: If they would win tonight and win the national championship,

920
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,800
Speaker 2: it bumps up to one million dollars in terms of

921
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 2: a bonus. You have the storyline of the IU quarterback,

922
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 2: the Heisman Trophy winning Fernando Mendoza, who got my vote.

923
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 2: Not that that's a big deal, I mean really impressive.

924
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 2: In high school, he was a two star recruit. Two star.

925
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 2: He was ranked one hundred and fortieth among quarterbacks in

926
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 2: the class of twenty twenty two. And while on the

927
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,320
Speaker 2: subject of quarterbacks, one of the two playing tonight, the

928
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 2: Old misstarting quarterback Trinidad Shambliss, last year led Division two

929
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 2: Farris State to the national championship. Led Division two Farris

930
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 2: State to a title last year, is trying to lead

931
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 2: Old Miss to a championship this year. I think I

932
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 2: read the other day. In the last four years, let's

933
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 2: see last three years, that'd be twelve semi final spots.

934
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 2: There have been eleven different programs make the college football semifinals.

935
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 2: Eleven different programs for twelve spots. The only repeat Texas Texas,

936
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 2: the only one to make more than one appearance over

937
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 2: the last three semifinals. The other aspect of all this,

938
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 2: and this is a long winded way of getting to

939
00:47:54,280 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 2: this point. Perhaps at least it appears reports of the

940
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 2: death of college football greatly exaggerated. I know there's been

941
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 2: a lot of handwringing. And this is very frustrating at

942
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 2: times to watch. It's very confusing at times to watch.

943
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:18,280
Speaker 2: It's the wild wild West. There's no guardrails, there's no rules.

944
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 2: It's make it up as you go and do what

945
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 2: you want. And nil and Texas Tech spending eight million

946
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 2: dollars on its defensive line, and all the stories of

947
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 2: absolute Bonker's craziness has warned people out. And I hear

948
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 2: from so many Atlants. I can't do it. I can't watch.

949
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 2: It's just not the college athletics that I once knew.

950
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 2: It's no longer amateur, it's no longer college. It's just

951
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 2: it's sickening Lance, Well, how do you explain this? The

952
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 2: ratings for the college football quarterfinals the last round up

953
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 2: fourteen percent from a year ago. Up fourteen percent, not

954
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:12,760
Speaker 2: down that IU Alabama Rose Bowl drew twenty three point

955
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:17,720
Speaker 2: nine million people. Let me give you a little context

956
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 2: on that. That's eight million more that than watched Game

957
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 2: seven of the NBA Finals last year, and that was

958
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 2: the most watched finals in six years. The Rose Bowl

959
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 2: was the most watched game in the twelve team playoff era.

960
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:41,919
Speaker 2: So how what? How is there such angst and hand

961
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 2: ringing and I'm tired of this and I can't watch

962
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 2: it and there's no rules and it's just not fun anymore.

963
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 2: There's more people watching college football in fact, outside of

964
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:59,399
Speaker 2: the playoff games. Let's just take normal regular the old

965
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 2: Raymi Bowl games. The ratings for the other bowl games

966
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 2: up thirteen percent from a year ago. Military Bowl drew

967
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:15,760
Speaker 2: two and a half million, most watched military bowl since

968
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen. The Pop Tarts Bowl led all non playoff

969
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 2: game bowl games this season. How why what what? Something's

970
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 2: not matching up here unless it is the the just

971
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 2: the the new factor of it's not the same old teams. Yeah,

972
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 2: that Indiana story is kind of neat, and that old

973
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,800
Speaker 2: Myss story that's kind of crazy with their coach. And

974
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 2: in Miami, I remember the U and the you know,

975
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 2: back in the day, and the Ray Lewis and Jimmy

976
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 2: Johnson and all of those teams back in the day.

977
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 2: I'll watch the college football play because you're watching. I mean,

978
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 2: if we were sitting right now and the ratings had

979
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 2: dropped twenty percent, you talk about the story being complete. See,

980
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 2: I told you the country has rejected this new way

981
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 2: of college athletics and NIL and paying players and U

982
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:19,240
Speaker 2: See's quarterback leaving and getting upwards of six million dollars

983
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,919
Speaker 2: a year to go play at Texas Tech. I'm done

984
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 2: with this. Not only people not done. More people are

985
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 2: making their way to the TVs, which I find fascinating.

986
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones five one, three, seven, four, nine,

987
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 2: seven thousand one to eight hundred, the big one. We

988
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 2: begin in Fairfield and welcome you beyond that. Andy, you

989
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 2: were on seven hundred WLW Hey, last I.

990
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: Call about a baseball thing. But I'm going to say

991
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,240
Speaker 1: something about the playoffs. Just listening to you, Yeah, Collie,

992
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: I think I think the key is it's just good football.

993
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: For the most part, it's just good football to watch.

994
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 2: It's been fun. Yeah, yeah.

995
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: I mean, if you don't have player of loyalty, hies,

996
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I completely enjoyed the Indian Alabama game. Of

997
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: course I was rooting for Indiana. I'm torn who to

998
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:06,839
Speaker 1: root for tonight, but it'll be a good game.

999
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

1000
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: So real quick on the baseball thing, I think I

1001
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 1: can officially put any controversy that may be remaining about

1002
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: the pitchclock to bed.

1003
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

1004
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: I was watching the nineteen ninety five Alds between Game

1005
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 1: fives between the Yankees and the Mariners on MLB Network today, Yeah,

1006
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: and turned it on Charlton and pitching in the eighties.

1007
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: I could barely watch it.

1008
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 4: It was horrible.

1009
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: It was like pulling my hair out. There was no pitchclock,

1010
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 1: there was no rules about changing the player. And that's

1011
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: one of the greatest games ever. And I was driving

1012
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,399
Speaker 1: me crazy after watching a couple of years of Major

1013
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 1: League baseball now, So just a random thought that popped

1014
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: into my head.

1015
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:45,879
Speaker 2: Wanted to share with you absolute I'm glad you did. Hey,

1016
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 2: thanks for listening, and enjoy the football tonight. All right, great,

1017
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 2: all right, thank you as well. Yeah, with the pitchclock,

1018
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 2: over the last three years, the average length of a

1019
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 2: Major League baseball game is has lopped off cut off

1020
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 2: thirty four minutes of dead time. How good is that?

1021
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,439
Speaker 2: The average length of a major league game this past season,

1022
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,720
Speaker 2: I think it was two hours and thirty six minutes,

1023
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,439
Speaker 2: and it was trending over three hours at one point

1024
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 2: in recent years leading to the pitch clock, which I

1025
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 2: think there was initial handwringing to use the term again,

1026
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 2: but I think people began to realize, wait a minute.

1027
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 2: All they did was cut out the dead time and

1028
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 2: just move things along. It's worked out very well, by

1029
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:31,439
Speaker 2: the way.

1030
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:31,839
Speaker 4: I am.

1031
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 2: Kelly and I are big connoisseurs of finding places we've

1032
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 2: never gone, and I always appreciate when people email me

1033
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 2: about whether it's a breakfast place or you know, we

1034
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 2: did our brewery tour of seventy five brewers within fifty

1035
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 2: miles of here. We just need more brewers to be

1036
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 2: built now. But I have a recommendation that I can

1037
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 2: pass along that a listener passed on to me. We

1038
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 2: finally went to a breakfast place in Verona, Kentucky called

1039
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 2: Kayla's Kitchen two sundays ago. It was me and Kelly

1040
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:02,360

Speaker 2: place with a fantastic food and big portions and reasonable

1042
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 2: prices and fantastic service and pancakes as big as Frisbees,

1043
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,879

1045
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 2: in Verona. I would second that recommendation. And yesterday we

1046

1048
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:28,800
Speaker 2: don't know how long this place has been around. I

1049
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 2: don't know how we didn't know about it till this point.

1050

Speaker 2: also imagine a dream like that cost a lot of money,

1078
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 2: like twelve million dollars. Well, that dream has taken a

1079
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 2: gigantic and I mean gigantic step forward, and what a

1080
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 2: way to ring in twenty twenty six with this news.

1081
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 2: Go straight to the source. He's the executive director, he's

1082
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 2: the friend of the show. He would be Tyler Bradshaw.

1083
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 6: How are you, Lance, I'm good. I'm actually calling to

1084
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 6: hire you as my agent and we're going to go

1085
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 6: get one of these lame kipping deals.

1086
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 7: Where I can I can, I can leave and I

1087
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 7: can just get a bunch.

1088
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:28,760
Speaker 1: Of money in that something.

1089
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 2: It really is, It really is. I don't understand any

1090
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 2: of it. By a world a world I do understand.

1091
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:39,319
Speaker 2: There's just incredible news that has developed on the front

1092
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 2: of the Nuxhall Miracle League Fields. Let me start with this.

1093
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:46,320
Speaker 2: Explain to listeners what Walt Lunsford and the Hattan Foundation

1094
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 2: initially put up and what the response was to it.

1095
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1096
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 6: So, actually, gosh, it's hard to believe that it's already

1097
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 6: been over over two months since we got to honor

1098
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 6: you Lance as our Joe Nuxsall Humanitarian Award winner and

1099
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 6: our annual Miracle Ball, which was such a special night.

1100
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:06,720
Speaker 6: Now I wanted to make sure Lance that we thanked

1101
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 6: you again for letting us honor you. It was so

1102
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,800
Speaker 6: special to have Kathy and Peyton there to speak on

1103
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 6: your behalf, so many other people who came out just

1104
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 6: to love on you and thank you for everything you

1105
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 6: do for our cause for so many nonprofits throughout Cincinnati,

1106
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 6: And we knew it was going to be a special

1107
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 6: night because of that, but then we got to add

1108
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 6: an additional layer of excitement. Walt Lunchford and the Hatton

1109
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 6: Foundation have just been incredible supporters of ours since before

1110
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 6: day one. They were actually the folks who when we

1111
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 6: wanted to build a miracle League Fields Vacuum twenty eleven,

1112
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 6: they offered a half million dollar matching grant. That was

1113
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 6: the biggest gift in our history up until the night

1114
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 6: of the Miracle Ball, because Walt Lunchford took the stage

1115
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 6: and announced that the Hatton Foundation was going to be

1116
00:57:55,680 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 6: offering a one million dollar matching grant to help us

1117
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 6: build the Hope Center. So that was our first seven

1118
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 6: figure gift, first million million dollar gift in the history

1119
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 6: of the Knuxhall Foundation. There was there was a little

1120
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 6: asterisk though on there when we got the offer. Not

1121
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 6: a not a not a bad one by any means,

1122
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 6: but it kind of you know, you look at your

1123
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 6: calendar and you're like, Okay, we got to do this

1124
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:23,439
Speaker 6: quick because the goal that the Hatton Foundation laid down,

1125
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,479
Speaker 6: they said, we would like for you all to meet

1126
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 6: this this grant, this matching gift. We'd like you to

1127
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 6: do it by December thirty first, which nobody was counting,

1128
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 6: but if they were, that was sixty eight days. So

1129
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 6: we had sixty eight days to go out and raise

1130
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 6: a million dollars towards this project. Met with lots of people,

1131
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 6: talked with lots of people, had lots of great conversations,

1132
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 6: and boy lance, it is hard.

1133
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 2: Here we go, we're starting off.

1134
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 7: I made it eight days into twenty twenty six and.

1135
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 6: I'm crying on air with you. Our donors stepped up

1136
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 6: and donated. They said a million's not enough.

1137
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 7: They said, let's go a quarter more.

1138
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 6: In two months, we raised one point two five million

1139
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:17,440
Speaker 6: dollars to meet and surpass that matching grant. Took the

1140
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 6: total of our campaign to.

1141
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 7: Six point six million dollars raised.

1142
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 2: Which is just saying it out loud.

1143
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 6: It still doesn't feel real that we've been able to

1144
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 6: make that kind of progress. You know, I shared on

1145
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 6: stage at the Miracle Ball if you would have talked

1146
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 6: to us back in September, our campaign was sitting at

1147
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 6: about three point two million dollars raised. To go from

1148
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 6: three point two million dollars raised in September to end

1149
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 6: the year at six point six million, it's an incredible feeling.

1150
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 6: And I know that we've got a lot of our

1151
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,440
Speaker 6: supporters and a lot of our donors out there listening

1152
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 6: because they love you and they listened to your show

1153
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 6: and on behalf of myself, the Knuxall family, the hat

1154
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 6: and Foundation, everybody involved in this. We just have to

1155
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 6: say thank you, thank you, thank you for for showing

1156
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 6: us how much you believe in this dream, how much

1157
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 6: you love Joe, how much you want to see this

1158
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 6: facility built. It's an incredible feeling.

1159
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 2: I am uh, I have I have chills, I have goosebumps,

1160
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 2: and look, i'm a I'm a I'm a spec in

1161
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 2: the big picture of all of this, but that night

1162
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 2: was was life changing. For me and for my family.

1163
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 2: I'm still recalling moments that I didn't realize were actually

1164
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 2: happening in real time. I'm realizing they were happening now,

1165
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 2: which is incredible. What Larry Tishler told me, he said,

1166
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 2: so call this in because you're not going to realize

1167
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 2: everything that happened. And he was exactly right. But I

1168
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 2: what you just laid out, And if you're crying, that

1169
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 2: means Kim is crying, and that means I'm about to

1170
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 2: cry hearing all this.

1171
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, but if I'm if, I'm if I'm trying, Kim's crying.

1172
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 2: For two or three days exactly. But to do this,

1173
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 2: and you allude to this in the release, this isn't

1174
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 2: one person or two or a handful. This is the

1175
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 2: power of community getting something done. Yeah, I mean hundreds,

1176
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 2: hundreds of donations that came in. I mean, Lance, I'm

1177
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 2: not the fastest guy responding to emails, but I am

1178
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 2: still answering emails from people who donated back in back

1179
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:22,440
Speaker 2: in December. And I think the amazing thing was was

1180
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 2: first time donors. I have to share a couple stories.

1181
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 6: One in particular, we had a gentleman and his family,

1182
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 6: Dave Welsh who stopped out at the fields. He'd never

1183
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 6: been there, He'd always wanted to come out. He always

1184
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:39,439
Speaker 6: wanted to stop by, wanted to check the place out,

1185
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 6: and Kim, you know, you just talk about the stars aligning.

1186
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 2: Kim happened to be there.

1187
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 6: It was probably about thirty minutes before he was headed

1188
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,920
Speaker 6: to grab lunch at Skyline on Hicks Boulevard, and he

1189
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 6: talked with Dave for a while. I met with him

1190
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 6: a few days later, and a few days after Thanksgiving.

1191
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 6: Dave reached out and said, our family's just so touched

1192
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 6: by this dream and what you guys are doing, and

1193
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 6: we would like to donate a half million dollars to

1194
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 6: name the court in the arena so that that court,

1195
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 6: which is going to host special Olympics basketball games and

1196
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,920
Speaker 6: special needs proms and theater performances and all kinds of things,

1197
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 6: that'll be the Welsh Family Court at the Hope Center.

1198
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 6: And we're so thankful to them for doing that. My

1199
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 6: other favorite was, like, I want to say this was

1200
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:27,479
Speaker 6: probably the thirtieth of December. I get a call number

1201
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 6: I don't recognize. I answered, that's the guy. He said, Hey,

1202
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 6: I Actually I'm on my way to Kim Knoxall's house.

1203
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 6: I got a check I want to drop off for

1204
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 6: fifty thousand dollars and it was just like, you know,

1205
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 6: just jaw dropping to see people respond to this message,

1206
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 6: to the local news organizations, and you all helped us

1207
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 6: get the story out to brand new people. I would

1208
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 6: venture to say, I haven't run the numbers, but I

1209
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 6: would venture to say fifty to sixty percent of the

1210
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 6: people who donated to help us get to that one

1211
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 6: point two to five million raised, we're brand new.

1212
01:02:57,880 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 2: First time donors.

1213
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 7: Incredible thing.

1214
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 6: It's really amazing to see the response from all of

1215
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 6: Cincinnati to want to make this happen. But whether it

1216
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 6: was a five dollars donation or whether it was a

1217
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 6: half million dollar donation, they all added up to do

1218
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 6: something absolutely remarkable.

1219
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 2: And Tyler, in and around all that, I just flashed

1220
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 2: to a memory that has forever burned in my head

1221
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 2: and in Kelly's head, back to that the evening of

1222
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 2: hope that you had it. Yeah, and seeing one of

1223
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 2: the young boys who's part of the Nuts on America

1224
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 2: League family, M Dwanger, I know, I know what story

1225
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 2: takes his piggy bank and he sets it down on

1226
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 2: the stage and he puts on goggles and he takes

1227
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 2: a bat and he bashes down on it. And all

1228
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 2: the money that comes out he donated that night for

1229
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 2: an evening of a Hope And that the hair is

1230
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 2: standing up on my arms as I say that right now.

1231
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 6: Yep, yep, forty and sixty three cents. And we've still

1232
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 6: got the glass yards from the Piggy Bank, and I

1233
01:03:57,080 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 6: can tell you we're we're going to display in the

1234
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 6: Hope Center someday because it's that kind of giving, you know,

1235
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 6: in Lance, I mean Sam, Sam uses a walker. Sam

1236
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 6: has had some some he was diagnosed with Dwarfism h

1237
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 6: after he was born. And and to see the smile

1238
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 6: on Sam's face every Saturday when he comes out there,

1239
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 6: to see him talk about what this building would mean

1240
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 6: for him, not just next year, the following year, but

1241
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 6: for the entirety of his life, that he'll have a

1242
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 6: place where he can go that will meet his needs,

1243
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 6: that will be there to serve his family. It's it's unbelievable.

1244
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:37,240
Speaker 6: And I mean you you know that that night at

1245
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 6: the Evening for Hope, that was another incredible reason that

1246
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 6: we were able to make such a big jump here

1247
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 6: over the past few months are our board members Ron

1248
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 6: Reedy and Chad Caddell put on an incredible event uh

1249
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 6: and we were very transparent with people. We were asking

1250
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 6: people to come out and make three year pledges to

1251
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 6: support this project. And we had a couple hundred people

1252
01:04:57,320 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 6: there in attendance with us that night. Our family shared

1253
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 6: their story, including Sam and his family, and we had

1254
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 6: our supporters pledge about eight hundred and ninety thousand uh.

1255
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 6: And that's separate from the one point twenty five million

1256
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 6: that I'm talking about that was raised through the Hatton

1257
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 6: Foundation matching grant, and every donation more than the more

1258
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 6: than the money that ends up in the total line lance.

1259
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 6: It's it's a vote of confidence from people who say, yes,

1260
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 6: we need this, Yes this is something that will benefit

1261
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 6: our family, that will benefit our community.

1262
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 2: That's what every time I see these.

1263
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 7: Donations, that's what I think is that it's not just.

1264
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 6: Somebody giving their money, although that's a that's a you know,

1265
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 6: that's a really worthy thing to do. They're giving us

1266
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 6: their support and they are giving us their validation that

1267
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 6: a project like this matters. And that encouragement coupled with

1268
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 6: a dream from the old leftander himself. I don't know,

1269
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 6: I don't know what more you need to want to

1270
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 6: work for this every single day.

1271
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 2: Tyler will will in fact, will shovels go on the

1272
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 2: ground in twenty six, and if so, tell listeners where

1273
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 2: exactly the location is and where the shovels will go.

1274
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:06,919
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1275
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 6: The only way I'm gonna be able to prevent Larry

1276
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 6: Tishler from putting a shovel in the ground is if

1277
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 6: I find a straight jacket for him. Larry might have

1278
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 6: his shovel right now driving out to the field. So

1279
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 6: the beautiful part about this is the building is going

1280
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 6: Let me answer right out of the gate real quick though. Yes,

1281
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 6: shovels are going in the ground in twenty twenty six.

1282
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 6: Based on these sundraising totals of what we're seeing, we

1283
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:31,919
Speaker 6: are going to be able to break ground in twenty

1284
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 6: twenty six. Now, obviously we still got a long way

1285
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 6: to go. We still need to raise around five and

1286
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 6: a half million dollars left, so that's we need to

1287
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 6: get the ten million to completely build the building and

1288
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 6: then another two million for a maintenance and operations endowment.

1289
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 6: But we are planning to break ground this year. The

1290
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 6: building itself. The beautiful part about it it will be

1291
01:06:57,320 --> 01:07:02,040
Speaker 6: positioned adjacent to the Miracle League Fields where they are

1292
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 6: right now. So if you are standing in the parking

1293
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 6: lot at the Miracle League Fields to your left hand side,

1294
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 6: the building will basically be right there. So it will

1295
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 6: share a parking lot with our currently existing facility. And

1296
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 6: the reason I say that's a beautiful thing is because

1297
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 6: for our families, predictability is so important to them. If

1298
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 6: we can give them a predictable routine that they can follow,

1299
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 6: whether they're coming to play a baseball game, whether they're

1300
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 6: coming to play mini golf, coming to hear a nutrition class,

1301
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 6: coming to play basketball, whatever it is, if we can

1302
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 6: give them a place that they're comfortable, that they're familiar with,

1303
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:37,400
Speaker 6: that takes a little bit of that work out of

1304
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 6: the equation of raising a child or an adult with

1305
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 6: physical or developmental disabilities. It makes all the difference. So

1306
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 6: with the addition of this building, we will create what

1307
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 6: we think is the world's most comprehensive inclusive recreational campus

1308
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 6: for athletes with special needs.

1309
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 7: Because whether it's.

1310
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 6: Indoor, outdoor, summer, winter, it'll all be right there on

1311
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 6: that one plot of land. It's going to be really

1312
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 6: cool to see it all kind of build out there

1313
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 6: and compliment one another. And the best part about it,

1314
01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 6: no more rain delays for us. If it does rain

1315
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 6: during a baseball game, We'll just be able to shift

1316
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:15,200
Speaker 6: everything indoors.

1317
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 2: All right before I run out of time, and to

1318
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 2: keep the momentum going. For those listening who say, wait

1319
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 2: a minute, I want to be a part of that,

1320
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 2: how do they go about doing that?

1337
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:17,599

1339

1340
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,840

1341
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 6: that's what this building will do. It will create that

1342
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:30,799
Speaker 6: hope that that they deserve.

1343
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:34,160

01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:33,840
Speaker 2: we'll say on two point three million, So technically three

1383
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:37,439
Speaker 2: hundred thousand under what it was projected that it was

1384
01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 2: going to cost the Reds, if that makes any sense.

1385
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:43,439
Speaker 2: So Matt McClain, who wasn't This wasn't isn't a free

1386
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:46,840
Speaker 2: agency thing. This is it's a transactional payroll thing, which

1387
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:50,640
Speaker 2: determines simply what his pay is for this season, is

1388
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 2: the easiest way to explain it. He had an idea,

1389
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 2: the Reds had an idea. They really didn't want to

1390
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 2: go to an arbitrator to decide who was right. So finally,

1391
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,560
Speaker 2: and the Reds confirming three minutes ago, they reach a

1392
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:05,280
Speaker 2: deal to avoid all that by the red saying and

1393
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:07,639
Speaker 2: Matt looking at each other and saying the two point

1394
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:11,640
Speaker 2: three and both sides said, yeah, well okay, let's do that.

1395
01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 2: So there you go. So that leaves Tyler Stevenson and

1396
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 2: Graham Ashcraft, who in theory, unless something happens tonight, they

1397
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 2: would be going to arbitration with Okay, A couple of

1398
