1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Is Tony Pike Cincy three sixty about Cincinnati. From Cincinnati.

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: This is ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: Welcome back, Happy Friday. Hour three continues, and let's get

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 2: it started in a big way. FC Cincinnati got their

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 2: season off on the right foot with a four nil

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: victory in the Conka Kef Cup. I don't think you

7
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: could ask for a better way to start a season.

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: And now you turn that around and it feels like

9
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: the season almost just ended. And now MLS play returns

10
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: to TQL Stadium tomorrow at four forty five. Let's talk

11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: to the voice of the Orange and Blue, Tom Gallairder

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 2: joining us right now. Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, what's going.

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 3: On, Tony, Tony, Tony, Happy Friday?

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 4: Here?

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 3: We are already to start the Major League Soccer season.

16
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 3: Like you said, a really strong effort from the guys

17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: in the win on Wednesday night down in the Dominican Republic,

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 3: and I thought it was professional wins, kind of what

19
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 3: we called in the postgame show, that the team did

20
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 3: the right things and got four goals from the strikers

21
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 3: and dispatched to O and M and leg one most

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 3: again on Wednesday night. But it'll pass the well versus their.

23
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 5: Concerned and heading into this Atlanta match, how important is

24
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 5: what you just described the professional start, because every year

25
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 5: you're going to go through a unique offseason.

26
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 2: You're you're going to have players that leave, You're going

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: to have additions, and a lot of times it can

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 2: feel clunky at the start of the season. How important

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: was it, as you described, to go and get a

30
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: professional win on Wednesday night?

31
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know, I think we talked about it

32
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 3: last week, the continuity right of the team and what

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 3: that has meant in the preseason.

34
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 4: Pat really hit that.

35
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 3: Nail on the head when we talked leading into and

36
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: I think we saw some of the I think because

37
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 3: he was able to play the guys that he did

38
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 3: and had this really busy schedule with four matches and

39
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 3: other open season, it sets up to be able to

40
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 3: put a strong line.

41
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 4: Out in the season opener. You know, listen, you want

42
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 4: to go down.

43
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: There, make sure you win so that sets up your

44
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: second leg in the return of TQOL Stadium on wed

45
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: Day and you're securing the opportunity to advance to the tournament.

46
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 4: You also don't want to do it at the expense.

47
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 3: Of your home opener ro game and begins to Minnesota

48
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 3: in playing for games in twelve days.

49
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 4: So I think that the way you have set uptation.

50
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: And the player availability really worked out flavor and did

51
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 3: in a professional way, and he got to care of

52
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: business passions of SA You can have took you guys

53
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: the media.

54
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: Okay, so Tommy, you you then turned the page and

55
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 2: now it's all of a sudden the MLS opener and

56
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: coming to TQO Stadium is a team in Atlanta who

57
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: did not have a great year last year when you

58
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: look at the final standings near the bottom of the league.

59
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 2: How difficult does it become when it's early in the

60
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: season to not have a ton of information or maybe

61
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: not know how a team is going to start a

62
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 2: year differently? Obviously, when you don't finish the way they

63
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: wanted to in Atlanta, you've got to make some changes.

64
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 2: So how do you prepare for a team when you

65
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: may not know fully what's coming in?

66
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a fair question, Tony, But I'll

67
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 3: tell you that's much there's a lot more information sent

68
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: on Atlanta than I do than there was on Owen MFC.

69
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 3: I told someone yesterday that at Owen MSc rostered I

70
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: was the least information I've ever had on the team

71
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 3: in eleven years of preparing for these matches. So that said,

72
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: I think they probably have decent information on Atlanta. Granted,

73
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: the didn't make the playoffs last year and they fired

74
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: the coach, but they brought in their previous coach, tot

75
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: To Martino, who they won twenty eight mL US Cup with,

76
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: So I think people know what to expect from tot

77
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: To Martino, and I think there's a lot of talent

78
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 3: on this Atlanta team. Remember they brought in a manual

79
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 3: a lot a lot last year and his chanswer fee

80
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 3: was the head of the one that f cually Cincinnati

81
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: spent for Kevin Danka and lotelt had six.

82
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 4: Goals and for the money that they spent on him,

83
00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 4: that was really disappointing.

84
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 3: So I think that it's really important, you know, if

85
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: you're an Atlanta United fan, that you're expecting Tata Martino

86
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: to find a way to unlock him, because I think

87
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 3: there's good talent on that team. It's just a matter

88
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 3: of how can Tata Martino put them in a group

89
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 3: that they he gets.

90
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 4: The best out of them, and what does that look like?

91
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: So I think that's the biggest question that everybody's going

92
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 3: to kind of be holding their breath as I figure

93
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: out Atlanta. Look, Cincinnati is going to have a strong lineup.

94
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: I think that they are going to.

95
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 4: Take care of themselves first and foremost.

96
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: But I think they'll have enough information on Landy United

97
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 3: that they'll be pretty prepared for.

98
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 2: Those that maybe didn't catch Wednesday night and tomorrow will

99
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 2: be the first chance they have to see this team

100
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty sixth version of FC Cincinnati in action.

101
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,799
Speaker 2: Is there a glaring difference in the style of play

102
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: or the personnel in which they're going to use that

103
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: will be different to those that watched last year compared

104
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: to watching this year.

105
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: No, I don't think that there's going to be a

106
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: glaring difference at this point, and we'll wait to see

107
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 3: exactly what the lineup card looks like when you know,

108
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: Pat Ninon turns it in till marow. But I know

109
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 3: that they've tried some new philosophies here through the preseason

110
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 3: and been working on, you know, some different things in

111
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: the attack to get more out of their attacking players,

112
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: and they got four goals from their strikers in the

113
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 3: game on Wednesday night, granted against the lesser team than

114
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 3: what they're going to see tomorrow, but there is going

115
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 3: to be, you know, some new player. There will be

116
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: some new players potentially out on the pitch. You know,

117
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 3: Brian Meers came off and happened that we think that

118
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: bat Neman wants to start him again in this match

119
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: on Saturday Atlanta. Brian, I thought it was very good

120
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 3: in the forty five minutes they played out at left

121
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 3: wing back, and I think it's a player that Everton

122
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 3: Sunni fans are going to be really excited about. So,

123
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 3: you know, I think that that is a piece of

124
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 3: the puzzle in seeing Brian Ramirez and how he utilized

125
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 3: and then you know, I think the other question is

126
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 3: who is sliding in next to Kevin Denk when they

127
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 3: play with two strikers as we saw on Wednesday night.

128
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: You know, Tom Barlow started and he got the he

129
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 3: got the first goal of the season, his first going

130
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 3: Orange and Blue.

131
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 4: And then Ayub Jabari, who.

132
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: He saw five times in the regular season last year,

133
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,679
Speaker 3: I had a big assist in the playoffs.

134
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 4: He comes in late and gets two goals.

135
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 3: So you had the opportunity, you know, to see a

136
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 3: couple of different guys, and I think there's gonna be.

137
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 4: A good competition there alongside Kevin Dank. But I don't think.

138
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 3: Overall all like the tactics are going to be wildly

139
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 3: different or the formation. It'll be more so some tweaks

140
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 3: and philosophy and what they're trying to do in that

141
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: final third.

142
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 2: Has anything in the offseason happened or just less ross

143
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: or overturned than maybe we say, I mean, you go

144
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: back to last year, you were replacing Luciano Acosta in

145
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: an MLS MVP. You're not having to do that this offseason.

146
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 2: And I think when you look at the long season

147
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: of the MLS season becomes there were just times last

148
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: year where it felt like a roller coaster. You know

149
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: a lot of highs, some lows, some laws that this

150
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,679
Speaker 2: team were kind of plagued with. How do you avoid

151
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 2: that over the course of such a long season. There

152
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: are going to be some dips, but the consistency aspect

153
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: of what they can do maybe with not as much

154
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: overturned in the offseason.

155
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: I think probably it starts with depth, right, and I

156
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 3: think that that a lot of that depth is there.

157
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 4: There's great depth at center back position.

158
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 3: Look, we saw Andre Durilla called in from the two

159
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 3: team on Wednesday night, and I thought he shined fantastic,

160
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 3: you know, fantastically through through the night minutes that he

161
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: played out on the pitch, you know, and he is

162
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 3: a short term agreement to come up and join the

163
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 3: first team. So I think there's competition at center back.

164
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 3: We know that there's there's competition in the defensive midfield.

165
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: You had Geeye, Buka, you know, Blowodo, all great options.

166
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 3: If you're starting two defensive midshielders, usually the case center

167
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 3: Pat Noonan, one of those guys is out, and who

168
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 3: are you seeing. It's a really tough situation. Now, there's

169
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 3: a lot of minutes here, like I said at the

170
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 3: top of the interview, to start the season, So guys

171
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 3: will play, but decisions will have to be made. But

172
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 3: that means that you know, whoever's left out is gonna

173
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 3: you know, he's gonna be pushing in training to tell coach, hey,

174
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: you shouldn't left me out and I should be in

175
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 3: for the next one, and on after that and so

176
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 3: on and so forth. So I think that we'll see

177
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 3: great competition. And then the striker position, like I was

178
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: talking about, you know who is that second striker alongside

179
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: Can Kevin is going to start.

180
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 4: I feel pretty good about that.

181
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 3: Who will be next to him will be a Jabari,

182
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: will be Tom Barlow.

183
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 4: Will be somebody else.

184
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 3: That's what's to be determined, and I think exciting to

185
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 3: figure out.

186
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 4: We had.

187
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: We had Joe Daneman on the show earlier in the

188
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: week talking about red spring training and Joe mentioned that

189
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: just being around the team leading up to where they're

190
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: getting to, you could sense a way in which they

191
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: carry themselves that felt different. And I wonder that with

192
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: FC Cincinnati, because you've been at the bottom, you've been

193
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 2: right there near the top, You've been within striking distance

194
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: of an MLS Cup, they've won the Supporter Shield. When

195
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 2: when this team was preparing and you're around the club

196
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: getting set to start a long season, do you sense

197
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: a difference in the way this team carries themselves.

198
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 4: I don't.

199
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: I don't know that it's a confidence, but uh uh

200
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: an idea of we know the work we need to do,

201
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: we know what's ahead of us, we know what an

202
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 2: inner Miami can can bring and and and where that is.

203
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: Do you sense that differently with this team going into

204
00:08:58,840 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: to this season.

205
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that there is a confident in

206
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 3: the way that the team prepared to the preseason, and

207
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 3: that there is that connuity that we've talked about so much,

208
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: and that they had that preseason and was drama free

209
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: unlike last year.

210
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 4: And I think that.

211
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 3: Those are all factors that pay big, big dividends in

212
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 3: that dressing room. And I think the team is hungry

213
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 3: because if you're successful for fourth eight years but you

214
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: fall short of that ultimate goal winning MLS cupbo ain't

215
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 3: gonna start, you know, maybe scratch your head and being

216
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: like what else, what else do we have to do?

217
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 4: How do we get there?

218
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 3: I think it was Alvias Powell Will made a comment,

219
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 3: you know, last week or so, it's time. It's time

220
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 3: to bring a championship Cincinnati, considering all the time that

221
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 3: he has spent with the team. So I think that's

222
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 3: the biggest factor in figuring out how do you fit

223
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 3: and how do you help this team?

224
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 4: And then there's a pretty big hunger in that dressing

225
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 4: room to reach that ultimate goal.

226
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: If if you could, if you could take one or

227
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 2: two big keys for tomorrow against Atlanta to get get

228
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: started off the right way. What do you think those

229
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: are to walk away with three points.

230
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 3: I think the biggest Tony is just sticking to your

231
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: game plan, and this is you're drumming the TQL stadium right.

232
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 3: At times, t QoS team has been a fortress and

233
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: at times, you know, unfortunately in some of that form

234
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 3: that we saw, you know, going back twenty twenty three

235
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 3: when they won, the supporter shield was lost. So I

236
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 3: think that it's okay, you're coming into our house. You're

237
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 3: gonna play our game.

238
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 4: We're gonna you know, uh, we're gonna make.

239
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: A statement early. You get an early goal, take advantage,

240
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 3: build that crowd and that energy, and then be strong

241
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: in the areas you know you're really good, and be

242
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 3: strong defensively, be strong in the defensive midfield.

243
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 4: You know, let Evander and Denkey and whoever the other

244
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 4: striker is do their thing.

245
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 3: And play f C Cincinnati pat noon and soccer.

246
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 4: And if they do that, they're gonna put themselves in

247
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 4: a position to win the game.

248
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: Lastly, before we let you go, Tommy, TQL Stadium at times,

249
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: yea since its inception, has been a fortress for FC Cincinnati.

250
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: Last year, the season ended on a sour note. Miami

251
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: beat f C Cincinnati four nothing and on their home

252
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 2: turf no less. So going into this year, how important

253
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: is it to get back to that dominance at TQL

254
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 2: Stadium for FC Cincinnati.

255
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's really important if you want to

256
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: win a supporter shield. If you win a supports shield,

257
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 3: touch you up for the best chance to win MLST Cup.

258
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 3: You know, then you need to have the portress. You

259
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 3: need to play like you did in twenty twenty three

260
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 3: at home. A couple of those home results slip last

261
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 3: year that completely changes things, right then then all of

262
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: a sudden, you win the support then jump ahead of

263
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 3: the Philadelphia and to give you a different seed, and

264
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 3: who knows what happens in the playoffs from there, But no,

265
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,479
Speaker 3: I think you know, listen to fans have been unbelievable

266
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: for every year this club around, you know, celebrated ten

267
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 3: years all last year. They will be loud, the energy

268
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 3: will be awesome tomorrow as they kick off season number

269
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: eleven at home, and I really think will feed off

270
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 3: of that. And listen, you get a win in your

271
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 3: home opener and then you go from there.

272
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 2: Tom Gletter, the voice of FC Cincinnati, first class all

287
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: is kind enough to join us each and every week. Bob,

288
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: what's going on.

289
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 4: Going?

290
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 6: Just getting ready to leave for Kansas and you know,

291
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 6: got a big game tomorrow out there in Lawrence with

292
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 6: the University of Kansas and hopefully it'll all go well.

293
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 2: Today it is a huge opportunity and a big time

294
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 2: opponent in a big time atmosphere and a player for

295
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: Kansas has been in the news all week. Darren Peterson,

296
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: the star freshman from Kansas who played just eighteen minutes

297
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 2: in his last game scored twenty three points. But it's

298
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 2: been an ongoing issue with Darren Peterson. He's had multiple

299
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: issues throughout issues throughout the year. One of those issues,

300
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 2: Bob has been cramping. And I think to the average fan,

301
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: you look and say, okay, cramping, just pump them with fluids.

302
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: Cramping shouldn't be an ongoing problem. But for Darren Peterson,

303
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: it's not the first time they've talked about cramping. What

304
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: is the difference in maybe what he's going through potentially

305
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 2: or how they're gettinghim ready that cramps can still become

306
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 2: a problem.

307
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 6: Well again, Tony, and you've played, and you know what

308
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 6: cramps feel like and how to best, you know, manage them.

309
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 6: For certain kids who have chronic cramping, we need some

310
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 6: physiological testing to find out, you know, is it lacktit acid,

311
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 6: is it carve depletion, is it you know, intermuscular issues,

312
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 6: so that there are options to look at from testing

313
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 6: standpoints to try to figure out the real cause of

314
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 6: the cramping. You know, we do a lot of spend

315
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 6: a lot of time in the preseason when we're practicing

316
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 6: and trying to evaluate our kids to say which ones

317
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 6: are heavy sweaters. You know, this kid might be a

318
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 6: heavy sweater for all you know, And then you're right.

319
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 6: It's a lot of fluid replacement more than it is

320
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 6: anything else. And then there are a lot of different

321
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 6: type of products you can use to prevent cramping. We

322
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 6: have a couple guys on our team who you know,

323
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 6: who have the tendency to cramp because of their heavy sweating,

324
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 6: but through the course of the game, we change what

325
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 6: we hygrate them with in order to try to prevent

326
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 6: them from having cramps. Because it's one of the worst

327
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 6: feelings for a trainer to have to walk up to

328
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 6: a head coach and say, hey, we just lost so

329
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 6: and so because we can't control as cramping. So again,

330
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 6: we work really hard in the preseason to identify the

331
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 6: kids who you know, maybe the heavy sweaters or some

332
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 6: other you know, nutritional problem. Everybody's got nutritionists. Now we've

333
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 6: got a really good one that works with us and

334
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 6: Dylan Freeze and works closely with us to look at

335
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 6: you know, arm deficiencies, Vitamin B, vitamin D three deficiencies,

336
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 6: you know, and just try to figure it out so

337
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 6: that you're not in the middle of the game and

338
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 6: all of a sudden you've got the kids saying, hey,

339
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 6: I got to come out of the game because I

340
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 6: got cramps.

341
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 2: And it's again we hear cramps and we think of, well,

342
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: you just got to hydrate better. But there are so

343
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 2: many other instances where I'm sure Kansas is doing everything

344
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 2: possible off the court to make sure that he's hydrating,

345
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: but there are so many other other factors that go

346
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 2: into it that may not be found yet or may

347
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 2: not be as controllable, which lead to those cramping issues

348
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: that we've seen now multiple times in a game.

349
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 6: From Darren Peterson, well, the trader from university can this

350
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 6: is outstanding. Bill's been there for a long time. He's uh,

351
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 6: he's done basketball for a long time. He knows exactly,

352
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 6: you know, what he's doing. Here's the thing, though, in

353
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 6: the college environment is you can't control every factor with

354
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 6: the kids. Did they you know, eat right the night before,

355
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 6: did they get their rest? Did they hydrate the night before?

356
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 6: Because you know, I can pump the all full of

357
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 6: fluids right before the game, or when you come in

358
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 6: for walk through. But you know, when I'm going through

359
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 6: the stomach, it takes a while for that to absorb

360
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 6: into the system. So in reality, you know, we're we're

361
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 6: really trying to start the hydration process four hours before

362
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 6: on kids who may have issues. But but again there's

363
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 6: there's other options. I mean, you know, at the collegiate

364
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 6: professional level, you know, if we have a kid who

365
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 6: has some difficulty and you've experienced this, and we use

366
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 6: IVY fluids, and you know that that immediately controls the

367
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 6: uh uh, the amount of fluid that you can put

368
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 6: into the body because it goes right into the surfulatory

369
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 6: system and it gets where it needs to go pretty quickly.

370
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 6: And then there are some other medications you can try

371
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 6: to control the cramping that are very safe. So that

372
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 6: you know, again, we monitor our kids throughout the whole game,

373
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 6: and Mike Raysall does a great job of monitoring weight.

374
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 3: So if the kid comes in before the game and.

375
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 6: Their weights not at the right level, then we've got

376
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 6: four or five hours to get them to where we

377
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 6: want them. Because most weight loss over night is from water.

378
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 2: I wonder too, because and again we don't have medical

379
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 2: reports or the exact information. But we've also seen this

380
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 2: player in Darren Peterson has missed games due to hamstring injuries,

381
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 2: ankle injuries, He's missed games due to illnesses. Are any

382
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 2: of those things a secondary cause or can they lead

383
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 2: to the cramping or can the cramping cause some of

384
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: the other problems that he's seen throughout this year when

385
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 2: he's miss games.

386
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 4: That's exactly right.

387
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 6: If you're the hydrated and chronically dehydrated, you're you're setting

388
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 6: yourself up for more muscle injury, more muscle their strange

389
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 6: hamstring strains, quad strains, that type of thing. So as

390
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 6: far as joint injury, you know, maybe you're the data

391
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 6: is not as as correlated to it, but there's certainly

392
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 6: correlation between. If I'm dehydrated, my muscles can't flush. I

393
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 6: don't have a good enough circulation system to keep them,

394
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 6: you know, hydrated, I'll use that word. And you have

395
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 6: a tendency to pull a muscle, so you know, and again,

396
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 6: if you have chronic cramping, now all of a sudden

397
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 6: that muscle is in a constant state of spasm, then

398
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 6: that alone can lead to damage. So you know, and

399
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 6: again you've you've played with guys who had such severe

400
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 6: cramping that they ended up having a Grade one hamstring strain,

401
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 6: just because you know the severity of the cramps. You know,

402
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 6: with that remember your days at Higher Ground. I mean,

403
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 6: oh yeah, guys would be in cramps and we'd have

404
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 6: a heck of a time breaking them until we plug

405
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 6: them with the IV. For maybe two or three leaders.

406
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 2: In a setting like that, does rest help? I mean,

407
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: if you have a player that has the hamstring issues,

408
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 2: that has the ongoing cramping issues, is resting for an

409
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 2: amount of time going to make a big difference or

410
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 2: do you need to kind of find the root problem

411
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 2: of the cramping in order to get back to where

412
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 2: you need to be.

413
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, you need to find the root

414
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 6: cause of the problem for the cramping. And number two

415
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 6: is I don't I like rest, don't get me wrong,

416
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 6: but I also like a lot of motion, you know,

417
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 6: keep the muscle moving. So I mean, you've been our

418
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 6: games and you see, you know, I've got a player

419
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 6: who you know, comes out of the game and doesn't sit.

420
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 6: He sits on the bike and he keeps his legs

421
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 6: moving so that he doesn't have stiffness issues or cramping issues.

422
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 6: So that you know, we're hydrating him on the bike,

423
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 6: we're using some supplemental oxygen on the bike because oxygen

424
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 6: lack of oxygen depletion can also give you cramping, especially

425
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 6: when you're playing at higher altitudes. So you know, again

426
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 6: you've got to find the root cause. And then you've

427
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 6: got to sit with any athlete who has chronic cramping

428
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 6: and find out what their lifestyle is. Sometimes poor lifestyle

429
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 6: choices leans to chronic problems such as this.

430
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 2: What about for let's say a high school athlete, or

431
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 2: maybe they don't have everything at their disposal to find

432
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 2: the issues for what what do you suggest for maybe

433
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 2: a high school athlete that has cramping issues or has

434
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: these these problems that go far beyond just making sure

435
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 2: you're hydrating in between sporting events.

436
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 6: Well, number one, I would definitely recommend, like we always do,

437
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 6: to get your rest at night, get off the video games,

438
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 6: use cold funds after you're done practice or games. But

439
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 6: more importantly, to know how much water weight you've lost,

440
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 6: weigh yourself, you know, weigh yourself when you get home

441
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 6: in the evening after practice or a game. Weigh yourself

442
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 6: in the morning and make sure you're putting that weight

443
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 6: back on in waterweight okay, fluids so that you know,

444
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 6: if you notice that I'm down two pounds, three pounds,

445
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 6: and then I've got to drink enough to get my

446
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 6: two or three pounds back on, because if I go

447
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 6: into the next activity down by two or three pounds.

448
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 6: It's like when these kids get sick and they get

449
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 6: a flu bug stomach bug and they're either you know,

450
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 6: they've got nausea where they're vomiting all the time, or

451
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 6: you know, they have diarrhea all the time and they're

452
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 6: completely dehydrated. We've got to put something back in them

453
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 6: before we can even think of let them play. And

454
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 6: you know, we will oftentimes use IV in those situations.

455
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 6: But again, if kids at the high school level will

456
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 6: start monitoring their weight, get their rest, make sure they're

457
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 6: drinking enough fluids, avoiding you know, avoiding too many caffeinated products,

458
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 6: you know, things should go pretty well for them. Make

459
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 6: sure you're stretching.

460
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 4: Okay.

461
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 6: If it becomes a chronic problem, then you need to

462
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 6: you know, you need to see your primary care physician

463
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 6: or one of the docs. You can pretentially do some

464
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 6: blood testing to see if you've got lactate acid into.

465
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 4: The build up.

466
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 6: See if you're what we call GFR, your kidney function

467
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 6: is chains because you know, you remember a tap when

468
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 6: we would take your blood two or three times, and

469
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 6: the whole idea of doing that was to check what

470
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 6: your creatum was and what your kidney function was, so

471
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 6: that as we went through the two days and you

472
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 6: were splinting out all this fluid, you weren't causing yourself

473
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 6: or putting yourself in a worse environment. So hydrate, rest,

474
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 6: check your weight. You know, get some stretching going. But

475
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 6: you know, sure when you're warming up, if you build

476
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 6: it up, you don't over don't get too active too fast,

477
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 6: and just ramp it up, you know, a nice slow pace.

478
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 2: Bob Manjean, University of Cincinnati and Novacare you're the best. Bob,

Speaker 7: I got a bone to pick with Bill Connolly. Yeah

505
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 7: you ever heard of Bill Connolly.

506
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 2: Haven't put a second thought into the name Bill Connolly.

507
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 7: Well, Bill Connolly writes for ESPN, and today he came

508
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 7: out with college Football's Top one hundred Quarterbacks of the

509
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 7: two thousand. Disgusting and I'm sinking. Oh great opportunity here

510
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 7: show topic. We can see what old Bill Connolly wrote

511
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 7: about Tony Pike and his run with the Cincinnati Bearcats

512
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 7: all those years ago, and they were many years ago,

513
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 7: and you are getting old. And then I look at

514
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 7: number one hundred and he's got JJ McCarthy and I'm like,

515
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 7: that's no big deal. I mean, Tony was ten times

516
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 7: the quarterback. JJ McCarthy was McCarthy stunk, yep. And then

517
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 7: I see Bryce Petty at ninety nine, Taj Boyd at

518
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 7: ninety seven, and I'm thinking, all right, Pike might be

519
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 7: in trouble here, yep. At ninety five, and then at

520
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 7: ninety five, I saw Desmond Ritter, who really good career

521
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 7: at Cincinnati. Eighty seven touchdowns, twenty eight interceptions, twenty one

522
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 7: hundred rushing yards, twenty eight touchdowns on the ground.

523
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and twenty eight Ninetie's a little much.

524
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 7: It became pretty obvious to me, especially when I saw

525
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 7: Jake Browning at number ninety one, Braxton Miller at number

526
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 7: eighty nine, and.

527
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 2: Then I saw, like, Mackenzie Milton, come on.

528
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,479
Speaker 8: That my guy Tony Pike was not on this.

529
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 2: Mackenzie Milton.

530
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 7: When you look at some of the names that beat

531
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 7: you out here, disgusting. I mean, Curtis Rourke, what Timmy Chang,

532
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 7: you got to throw it ninety times a game. At

533
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 7: this one I think is probably the most insulting. At

534
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 7: number eighty seven is Shador Sanders. Egregious? I mean absolutely egregious.

535
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 7: What are we doing here, Bill Connolly? I mean, I look,

536
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 7: no disrespect to David Green from Georgia, but he completed

537
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 7: less than sixty percent.

538
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 2: Of his passes. I'm not looking to be in the

539
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 2: top fifty. Find me somewhere from eighty to one hundred.

540
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 8: Just get in the hondo mark right, I mean Evan

541
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 8: Cobb from Houston. Are you kidding me?

542
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some fifty nine. This guy personally dominated at

543
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 2: the Senior Bowl. Dan lea Fever. Now he was coached

544
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 2: by Brian Kelly as well, but Dan Lefever thirty six interceptions.

545
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 2: You mean no One on the MAC three times? You

546
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: want to talk about a glaring omission?

547
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 4: Yeah?

548
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 7: Who are the top names on the list? The number

549
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 7: one quarterback? Now, I will say I haven't gotten all

550
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 7: the way to the bottom yet. I assumed you weren't

551
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 7: number one. My thought process is it's either Joe Burrow

552
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 7: or Tim Tebow. That would be my guess as to

553
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 7: who number one would be wrong on both. Joe Burrow

554
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 7: comes in at number five. Tim Tebow comes in at

555
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 7: number four.

556
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 2: Which is crazy because Burrow essentially had the greatest college

557
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 2: football season a quarterback has ever happened.

558
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 7: But I guess this is full careers and it's hard

559
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 7: to go against single seasons.

560
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 2: It's hard to go against Vince Young.

561
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 7: Vince Young was unbelievable, yeah, you know, over the course

562
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 7: of his career. But I mean, he's not that much

563
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 7: better than you.

564
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 2: Cam Newton.

565
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 7: Cam Newton was a pretty good player, was on this list.

566
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 7: Cam was pretty good. Kim had less than three thousand

567
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 7: passing yards though he ran the rock though, which he

568
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 7: you know, he ran the hell out of it. Now,

569
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 7: I'm okay with number one because he took that flag

570
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 7: and he planted it right in the middle, right through

571
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 7: the heart of Buckeye Nation. Number one on the list,

572
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 7: according to Bill Connolly, Baker Mayfield from Oklahoma fourteen thousand,

573
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 7: six hundred and seven passing yards. That's only nine thousand

574
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 7: more than you, yep, sixty nine percent completion percentage, one

575
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 7: hundred and thirty one touchdowns, thirty picks, one thousand rushing yards,

576
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 7: twenty one rushing touchdowns, and uh. Bill Connelly writes that Newton,

577
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 7: Young and Burrow had the best seasons, but Mayfield had

578
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 7: the best career.

579
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 2: I mean, how does Dylan Gabriel get on the list

580
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 2: when he played for eighteen different years at all these

581
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 2: different schools.

582
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 8: I didn't even notice he was on the list.

583
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 2: Twenty five on the list. That's insulting. Now here's what's

584
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 2: insulting to me, guy, I have great respect for Pat White.

585
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 2: Should have been higher than thirty two. I agree with

586
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 2: Pat White at West Virginia was unbelievable. Big Ben is

587
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 2: number thirty three on the list, by.

588
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 7: The way, Colin Kaepernick, my gosh at Nevada Diego Pavia.

589
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's thirty six.

590
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 8: He was a Heisman finalist.

591
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 2: Come on, oh my gosh. I'm glad we did this

592
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: late in the show. I mean, Rex Grossman, this is unbelievable.

593
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,479
Speaker 2: There's some names on here that I had forgot. Graham,

594
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 2: Harrell on Bow Graham Harrell lit it up for a

595
00:28:54,360 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 2: couple of years, Stetson, Bennett Stetson. Now I know I'm

596
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 2: scrolling here and I'm looking because Cam Newton, for a

597
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 2: cup of coffee, was a teammate of mine. Right, I

598
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 2: don't see my other teammate on this list, Jimmy Clawson,

599
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 2: jim Ward Clawson. Here's here's like if one of the

600
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: guys on the list here is is Colin Klein. Okay, boy,

601
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 2: Colin Klein in his career at forty seven and twenty

602
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 2: four passing yards, completed sixty one percent of his passes,

603
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 2: thirty touchdowns, fifteen interceptions. You beat him in those categories. Yeah,

604
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: you've got more yards, you've got more touchdowns, you've got

605
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 2: a higher completion percentage. You do have a couple more interceptions,

606
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 2: but a couple of those interceptions were like freshman sophomore

607
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,479
Speaker 2: year when I was the hail Mary quarterback. Sure, come in,

608
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 2: throwhil Mary, get it picked and move on.

609
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 4: Now.

610
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 7: Colin Klein had fifty six rushing touchdowns. You had three.

611
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 2: Sure, But still yeah, I'm still looking at I still

612
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 2: don't understand Diego Povey at thirty six, Brady Quinn at

613
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: number fifty three.

614
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 7: Saw he was in Cincinnati last night. M Jordan Lynch

615
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 7: from Northern Illinois. All right, Jordan, what'll be doing?

616
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 4: All right? Jordan?

617
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 7: I think the biggest thing here is that you just

618
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 7: didn't have much of a running game in your arsenal,

619
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 7: because there's it seems to be a lot of weight

620
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 7: on the rushing touchdowns for these guys. What about Brad

621
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 7: Banks at Iowa?

622
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 8: Never heard of them.

623
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 2: He's number sixty one, thirty one hundred and fifty passing yards,

624
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: fifty eight percent completion percentage, thirty touchdowns, seven interceptions, and

625
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: he didn't run the ball much.

626
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, so what happened there? Yeah?

627
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 7: Andy Dalton number seventy three. I didn't realize Andy threw

628
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 7: for ten thousand yards in college. Yeah, there are some

629

Speaker 8: It's weird spring training.

657
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 10: There's not a lot to sift through, so we'll see

658
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 10: what Tommy's interested in sifting through.

659
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 8: As the games get started.

660
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,800

Speaker 8: Join us in the four o'clock hour.

664
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 10: There are one or two other things we are working

665
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 10: on right up until showtime and we'll see if they

666
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 10: actually happen. We've got a massive college basketball weekend and

667
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 10: a lot to get to today, a few Bengals items.

668
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 8: It's gonna be fun.

669
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 7: Did you know that Tommy Thrall was a sports talk

670
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,959
Speaker 7: show host on an ESPN affiliate in Pensacola, Florida.

671
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 8: I think I did know that.

672
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

673
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 8: I did not know that until like yesterday. I think

674
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 8: I did. Yeah, I think I think that. I think that's.

675
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 10: Something I did know, and I don't know why maybe

676
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 10: I didn't, but like that, I think that's something I

677
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 10: think Like when he got the gig, we had him

678
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 10: on and it was like, all right, let's get to

679
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 10: know you a little bit. And I think he dropped

680
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 10: that nugget on us if I if my memory is

681
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 10: not mistaken, which it often is.

682
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. It is unique and we have obviously

683
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 2: had the conversation with Charlie Goldsmith's it's a weird spring

684
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 2: training feel because Austin and I already think spring training

685
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 2: goes too long. It especially feels longer when there's not

686
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 2: a ton of position battles up for grabs. So what

687
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 2: do you look to watch for just on your behalf

688
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 2: when you turn on a Cactus League game starting tomorrow.

689
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 2: Anything else leading up to the regular season.

690
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 10: Well, I think you're right. You guys have talked about it.

691
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 10: I've talked about it. They're a weird team because it

692
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 10: feels like there's not a lot of open gigs, not

693
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 10: a lot of open roster spots, not a lot of

694
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 10: starting jobs up for grabs.

695
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 8: You know.

696
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 10: I feel like we could sit down right now and

697
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 10: jot down twenty six names and come pretty close to

698
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 10: what the roster is going to be on opening Day.

699
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 8: Now.

700
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 10: Injuries can affect that and often do and certainly have

701
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 10: for this team. But usually when that's the case, I

702
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 10: feel like a team's ceiling is higher, and I mean

703
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 10: it's still plausible. This team is roughly what it was

704
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 10: last year, maybe a little bit worse. And so typically

705
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 10: when you think of like a team that is set

706
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 10: going into spring training, you feel like, all right, it's

707
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 10: a bunch of dudes who made a run of the

708
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 10: World Series last year, or it's a team that's you know,

709
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 10: really well established, And that's not so much the case,

710
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 10: I guess for me individually, Like god knows, we've talked

711
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 10: about him a ton. Matt McClain's got to be better

712
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 10: this year. Are there signs during spring training that suggest that's.

713
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:21,760
Speaker 8: Going to be the case?

714
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,919
Speaker 10: Are there signs indicating that this team could maybe run

715
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 10: a little bit more offensively this season? Obviously that starts

716
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 10: with with Ellie de la Cruz. I'll go there, and

717
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 10: then you know, look, is Chase Burn's gonna get the

718
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 10: fifth spot in the rotation? And is he gonna be

719
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 10: ready to pitch at the level the Reds are gonna

720
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 10: need him to pitch if they genuinely want to contend.

721
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 10: I'm really interested in, like they could use more offense

722
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 10: from the catcher position. Jose Travino in the first half

723
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 10: of the season last year was terrific offensively. In the

724
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 10: second half, he fell off a cliff. Are there signs

725
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,959
Speaker 10: during these games that don't count that suggest we're gonna

726
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 10: see something a little bit different? And then I guess

727
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 10: more than anybody else, Sal Stewart, Yeah, Like, you know,

728
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 10: I feel like he's going to make the team. But

729
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 10: I got him at plus eight hundred to be National

730
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 10: League Rookie of the Year.

731
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 2: Does he hold.

732
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, because you know he's got that on his mirror, right,

733
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 10: that value is insane. But can he can he hold

734
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 10: up defensively, and are there signs during the Cactus League

735
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 10: that he is going to be capable of giving this

736
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 10: team this sort of offensive boost?

737
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 7: It's so badly needs. Would you write any goals on

738
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 7: your mirror? And if so, what would be an example

739
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 7: of one that you would write.

740
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 8: I don't know why I would write it on my mirror.

741
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 10: I mean, when you look like me, you don't want

742
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 10: to spend a lot of time looking at a mirror.

743
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 8: So I don't. And like, what do you is lipstick?

744
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 8: What do you use to write on a mirror?

745
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 4: It's a good question.

746
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 8: Idea like a dry erase, dry erase marker.

747
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 10: I assume, yes, that's kind of I want you just

748
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 10: get a whiteboard, also plausible. Write it down on a

749
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 10: piece of paper and tack it to the wall. I've

750
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 10: done notes on the mirror before. I use a lot

751
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,720
Speaker 10: of sticky notes. I don't know that I've ever put one.

752
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:06,240
Speaker 4: On the mirror.

753
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 2: You gotta say, it's the first thing you see in

754
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:09,919
Speaker 2: the morning. Rookie of the Year.

755
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 8: At Little Rocky three ish Loston never sees movies.

756
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,760
Speaker 2: So he probably went straight over his head.

757
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 10: What kind of goals are we talking about here? Professional

758
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 10: or personal. I don't know any Let me tell you something. Okay,

759
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 10: this is what I'm wrestling with in my personal life.

760
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 10: Today is February twentieth.

761
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 4: That's true.

762
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 8: So we have had fifty one days in the year. Okay.

763
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 10: Now I didn't do this necessarily to lose weight, but

764
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 10: I decided at the first of the year I was

765
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 10: gonna cut some things out right, small things, because all

766
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 10: these folks like, just make small changes. So I stopped

767
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 10: drinking pop. I stopped drinking energy drinks because I had

768
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 10: a minor addiction to Red Bull. Just quit it cold turkey.

769
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 10: I stopped putting sugar in my coffee. And like, you know,

770
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 10: folks like, just what are two just small changes? I

771
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 10: haven't lost an ounce nothing. I look the same, I

772
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 10: feel the same. Uh you know, I'm not really jones

773
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 10: And for red Bull, I do get cravings for soft drinks,

774
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 10: especially when I'm eating something. So like, my goal is

775
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 10: to see these changes actually get reflected in how I

776
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,720
Speaker 10: look and feel. Put it on me when I stand

777
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 10: on the scale, right, Like I've stopped there are places

778
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 10: I eat at a lot that I have stopped eating at.

779
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 8: There's been no change.

780
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 10: I stood on the scale on New Year's Day. I'm

781
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 10: not even gonna say what it was. I stood on

782
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 10: the scale this morning. The number was exactly the same,

783
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 10: So no, hell with these goals. I'm gonna go back

784
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 10: to drinking five cokes a day, oh my god, eating

785
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 10: at all the places I love eating, and I'm gonna

786
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,720
Speaker 10: pour a whole bowl of sugar in my coffee every morning.

787
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 8: Sure that answered your question. Do that for the next

788
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 8: fifty one days and see if the scale is the same.

789
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 2: Good on you. I have a question on the massive

790
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 2: college hoops weekend number four Arizona, verse number two, Houston one,

791
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 2: verse three in Michigan and Duke, but locally Bowling Green

792
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 2: at Miami tonight. I know Miami's got the target on

793
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 2: their back. I thought it was interesting yesterday Joe Lonardi

794
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 2: right now his last four in Georgia, Missouri, Santa Clair,

795
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 2: and Miami. I still think that's interesting because of how

796
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 2: good Miami has been. But again, another hurdle tonight against

797
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 2: the Bowling Green team. I think the spreads around eight

798
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 2: and a half, so it's not a runaway on paper,

799
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 2: but a big one for Miami of Ohio tonight. To

800
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 2: take care of business and continue to march.

801
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 10: On and correct me if I'm wrong, because they don't

802
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 10: have it in front of me. But Joe Lonardi when

803
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 10: he did his latest exercise, he had them losing the game.

804
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 10: Yes right, yes, right, So he had them losing the

805
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:36,240
Speaker 10: game and still.

806
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,240
Speaker 2: Had as an at large.

807
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 8: As an at large, I think that's going to be

808
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 8: the case.

809
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 10: I mean, I think if Miami goes into the goes

810
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 10: into selection Sunday with one loss on their resume, they're

811
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 10: going to make the NCAA tournament. Now, they may play

812
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 10: in Dayton, which you know it would be would be

813
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 10: a lot of fun. But I think they're gonna make

814
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 10: the NCAA tournament. What's interesting to me is the mac

815
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,320
Speaker 10: race is is still not decided.

816
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 8: Akron's only a game back.

817
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 10: Akrons only loss was to Miami, so the RedHawks essentially

818
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 10: have a two game lead for the top seed. But yeah, look,

819
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,479
Speaker 10: they play at home tonight. Reasonably quick turnaround, I guess,

820
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 10: with two days off after the game on Tuesday, and

821
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 10: then back to back road games, including one Tony against

822
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 10: you know, you talk about a sleeping giant Eastern Michigan.

823
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, one of the better teams I've seen this year.

824
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 8: No you and I both know.

825
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, when Eastern Michigan's on your schedule, forget about it.

826
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 10: So hopefully Travis Steel's team is not looking ahead look

827
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 10: to that tilt, because looming over not just Miami, but

828
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 10: over the entire sport.

829
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 2: What do we get tomorrow? The Darren Peterson that doesn't

830
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 2: care what anyone says, or the Darren Peterson that says, Okay,

831
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 2: you guys want me to play like this, I'm gonna

832
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 2: play thirty five minutes and score fifty points. That's my

833
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 2: concern is that. Okay, let me show you what I

834
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 2: can do and then I'll go back to being me.

835
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 10: Yeah. I you know Kansas is a ten and a

836
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 10: half point favorite. Do I mean has there been any

837
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 10: word on has Darren Peterson you know he's been relieved

838
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 10: of his cramps? Does he want to play?

839
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 2: Why riskill?

840
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 8: Today?

841
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,280
Speaker 2: No updates, but why risk it?

842
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 10: If I was if I was him, I would tell him,

843
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 10: like Alan field Houses, watch watch a game, like watch

844
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 10: you sit in the stands, students. Look the Bearcats last game,

845
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 10: they were atrocious. Call it what it is. Okay, last

846
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 10: game they were atrocious. They cannot play the way they

847
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,280
Speaker 10: did against Utah. I don't care if Darren Peterson plays.

848
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 10: I don't care if Adrian Peterson plays, I don't care

849
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 10: if Warren Peterson from Cheers plays, doesn't matter. If the

850
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 10: Bearcats play like they did against Utah, no chance.

851
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 7: Speaking of big time performances, any thoughts on what Cad Cunningham.

852
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 10: Did last night to the Knicks. Oh, boy, crushed him.

853
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 10: Should be getting more serious MVP chatter than he is.

854
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 10: They're awesome, man, He's awesome.

855
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 8: Now.

856
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 10: The Knicks defensively are just a mess. When they are

857
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 10: at their best, offensively they are something to behold. But

858
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,720
Speaker 10: you simply cannot trust them enough defensively to beat really

859
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 10: good teams four times. And the East is good the

860
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 10: top of the East. Now, Like I'm not a big

861
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 10: James Harden guy, but what they can do to teams

862
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 10: offensively is a problem. If the Celtics get Jason Tatum back,

863
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 10: you could argue they should be the favorites in the East.

864
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 10: The Pistons, you know, the only time anybody's talked about

865
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 10: him this year is when they were engaged in a

866
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 10: big fight. They've been the one seed since day one.

867
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 10: I don't think there's been a day in the season

868
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 10: where they haven't been the top seed in the Eastern Conference.

869
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 10: They're gonna be the top seed in the Eastern Conference.

870
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 10: The Knicks cannot beat them four times. New York will

871
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 10: probably win its first round matchup. I cannot see them

872
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 10: beating the Celtics, Cavs or Pistons four times. And by

873
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 10: the way, like as somebody who grew up with the

874
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 10: Pistons always good, I think it's fun.

875
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 8: Sure that the Pistons are good again.

876
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 10: So I hated what happened last night, but there's a

877
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 10: big part of me rooting for Detroit.

878
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 3: MO.

879
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 2: I hope I hear some goal sounds coming up with

880
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 2: Team USA getting ready to get started against Slovakia.

881
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 8: Oh yes, somehow that the golhorn.

882
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 2: Somehow, my interest in the Olympics was zero, and now

883
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 2: I'm like the most patriotic person after the last couple

884
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 2: of hockey games. So go USA and MO.

885
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 8: Have a great show, all right, guys, have a good weekend.

886
