27
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,240

38
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: things happening. I thought one of the cooler moments of

39
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: the past weekend the gold medal game between USA and

40
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: Kida and USA pulls it out and then national pushback

41
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: of what's going on at Brick Street. Yeah, I mean

42
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: not just what's going on at Miami, but the kippis

43
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,240

00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't even think I have to say it,

53
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,200

Speaker 2: Ohio. You know I mentioned you mentioned espudo games are

72
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: nationally televised. You have guys like Scott Van Pelt and

73
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: others that are coming out and pleading to put more

74
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: respect Miami's name. And then the past weekend, Miles garrett

75
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: attendance at Mallett Hallet Hall is rocking. The place is

76
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: sold out, the atmosphere is unbelievable. Again, so many people

77
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: outside of the university are are taking notice. What's what's

78
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: that ride been like? As from someone on your side

79
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: of things, just see how this is not only engulfed

80
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,040

00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:40,800

88
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 5: Super nice guy. Obviously. I grew up a brown fan

89
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 5: and still a Browns fan. As hard as to be.

90
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 5: I don't know if and that on the but no,

91
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 5: it's just it's a it's so much fun to know

92
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 5: where Travis give the players and you know coach Steele

93
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 5: and his staff credit. You know, it's just being part

94
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 5: of the process. I guess Tony like years pat, you know,

95
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 5: starting the collective and kind of seeing behind the scenes

96
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 5: how this team was built from that perspective, let alone

97
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 5: everything they do. I why say it's America's team because

98
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 5: I really feel like one. You know, it's coaches speak

99
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 5: all the time. Hell yeah, we're a good team. We're together,

100
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 5: we care a by each other. But it's true, it's

101
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 5: very true. Like their togetherness is their you know, special

102
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 5: power as what Travis would say, and man do they

103
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 5: they they play well together, they know each other. There's

104
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 5: a ton of continuity and they're a fun team to watch.

105
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 5: I would say unflappable. It's not like it's not like

106
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 5: they've been undefeated and untested. Yeah, there have been games,

107
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 5: whether they're going on the road or they have to

108
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 5: come from behind at the end. They they have found

109
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 5: a way to win it. And almost like as they

110
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 5: check another one off the box, they're not tightening up.

111
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 5: It's just a more confident team.

112
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 2: What they did last night in the first half against

113
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: Eastern Michigan to separate themselves it is. It's been remarkable

114
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 2: to watch and I know as crazy and cool of

115
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: the scenes that Malett Hall have been. I know there's

116
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 2: a big vote coming up as well with the Board

117
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 2: of Trustees on on whether to green light and fund

118
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 2: a new I think two hundred and eighty plus million

119
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: dollar sports arena coming up.

120
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it's it helps to have a winning basketball

121
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 5: team right now.

122
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 2: There's a good time for a vote to happen.

123
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 5: We talked previously about you know, anytime you're going to

124
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 5: build an arena and spend that much capital and where

125
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 5: to place it on campus, there's there's a lot of feedback,

126
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 5: and so it is going to vote tomorrow, and you know,

127
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 5: I have high probability and high expectations that'll it'll go through.

128
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 5: But you know, I'm not right in that room, but

129
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 5: I feel like I have a good pulse. But I

130
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 5: think it's a great thing. You know, obviously, I think

131
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 5: it's gonna be incredible arena. Their goal is to make

132
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 5: it the best students experience in the country. It's going

133
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 5: to be an opportunity for us to have a multifaceted

134
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 5: approach to job fairs for students.

135
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 3: He'll be right next to the Farmer School of Business.

136
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a great opportunity for us to advance

137
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 5: and utilize other things that much capital being infused into athletics,

138
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 5: let alone the university. I think once that location gets

139
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 5: passed in it's built, I think a lot of people

140
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 5: will be extremely happy.

141
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: How exciting and how much from from a fan standpoint,

142
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 2: to watch this and understand that with the notoriety, people

143
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,239
Speaker 2: are going to say, Okay, what we want Travis Steele

144
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: as our next head coach or or the roster next year.

145
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: In the world of nil, people are going to try

146
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 2: to come in and uh and and take off the roster.

147
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 2: We had Travis Steel in studio a couple of weeks ago,

148
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: and I think one of the things that kind of

149
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: drove home to me was the players that chose to

150
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: come back. And in this day and age, when you

151
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: can have meetings after a season and know that a

152
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 2: guys might get offered more money and they want to

153
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 2: be a part of what you're doing, I think you

154
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: can tell your building the program the right way. That's

155
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 2: the next question for me. As historic and awesome as

156
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 2: this season is and what they're still trying to finish

157
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: it feels like this has stain power as well to

158
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: not just be you know, is it easy to go

159
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: undefeated every year now, but to have stain power as

160
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: a team that's going to be competing at the top

161
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: end of the MAC for years to come.

162
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

163
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 5: And that's like once I got into this, and I

164
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 5: love coach Steel, I love coach Martin, I love all

165
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 5: the coaches we have. Coach Mylen baseball or women's basketball,

166
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 5: as we were talking about earlier, is incredible. We're all

167
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 5: airs is they're winning the MAC. But to go back

168
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 5: to it, I think it's the program, you know, that

169
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 5: we're trying to build. And you know, I was fortunate

170
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 5: enough that they did incorporate me into you know, the

171
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 5: contract offer and I was able to put my two

172
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 5: cents in for Travis in the basketball and a lot

173
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 5: of the things they value for whatever reason, Tony, they

174
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 5: value my opinion and insight. So as part of you know,

175
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 5: different iterations of how to work with our coaches and

176
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 5: really feel confident, I guess to go back to the resources.

177
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 5: Like you said, you know, I think Travis, you know,

178
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 5: we we know that you know, he we think extremely

179
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 5: highly of him and we would love for him to

180
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 5: continue to build. Obviously that's a decision he's going to

181
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 5: have to make, like any coach or any professional. But

182
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 5: he we feel like with the arena, with the resources

183
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 5: in in IL and like I said, I truly mean

184
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 5: this and Travis says it too, we have complete alignment.

185
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 5: And we didn't have that maybe three or four years ago.

186
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 5: But from our board, to President Crawford, to our ad

187
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 5: David Saylor, to our coaches, to donors, to the support

188
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 5: like it's it's it takes that and we have that now.

189
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 5: And so I think any person like you said that

190
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 5: would come in and coach, it's going to be an opportunity.

191
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 3: I hope that's not the case.

192
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 5: Sure, but inevitably, if you know, things happen and we

193
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 5: know that it's it's gonna be great opportunity keep building.

194
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: Red Brick legacy itself. We we kind of talked at

195
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 2: the infancy stage of this, when this was just getting

196
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 2: up and running. You myself, Matt mchub was in here.

197
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 2: We were talking about kind of what the vision was

198
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 2: and where this was going. I think last time we

199
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 2: had a chance to talk, we were talking about Uptown

200
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: Light and where things were going to what's the latest

201
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 2: from the collective side, because as you know, as this

202
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: thing continues to get rolling, it never stops in the

203
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: nil world and in what you're trying to raise, in

204
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 2: the impact you're trying to have.

205
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's amazing where we were to where we are now.

206
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 5: I'd say I told you we want to be the

207
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 5: best in the MAC and I would say soon thereof

208
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 5: we're right at the top, if not the top, and

209
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 5: definitely football and in basketball, so those things are getting

210
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 5: close to where we needed to be.

211
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 3: I know there's a lot of speculation.

212
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 5: Obviously, going from zero and having no collective years ago.

213
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 3: We're a little bit late to enter the game.

214
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 5: But now I'm pretty confident we're in the top tier

215
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 5: and we're getting very close to be number one and

216
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 5: are in those major sports. So really excited, and like

217
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 5: I said, the a lot of that came in when

218
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 5: when there was complete alignment.

219
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 3: You know, I feel like I.

220
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 5: Had to, you know, push and prod and really be

221
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 5: the guy that kind of I guess one of the folks,

222
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 5: and I'll give Zach Haynes on our board.

223
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 3: You know, he really invested time in me and David Saylor.

224
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 5: President Crawford once again they said, all right, whatever this

225
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 5: guy's saying, let's start to listen, you know. And not

226
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 5: that they were not listening before, but I think they

227
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 5: really understood the forward investment.

228
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 3: Now it's the front porch of the athletics.

229
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 5: I was talking to Joel Stone with the Farmer Foundation

230
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 5: with the School of Business, and he I said, I

231
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 5: would love to see and we're starting to see upticks

232
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 5: of applications, and what athletics is truly doing is tremendous

233
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 5: when it comes together, Like are the data that I

234
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 5: think is going to come from this basketball season and

235
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 5: you know, stuff like Brick Street. It's sports and social

236
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 5: now for a lot of these kids, ye, you know,

237
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 5: and I think that part of that evolution, you know,

238
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 5: is going to attract a lot more people at our university,

239
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 5: which is just going to make us stronger.

240
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 3: I'm really proud about that.

241
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 2: How much is the importance, as you mentioned, for everyone

242
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 2: kind of pushing and rowing in the same direction, not

243
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 2: just in their own sport, but collectively, you know, Travis

244
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: Steel and Chuck Martin and having it come together and

245
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: have an understanding there. I'm sure there are ideas and

246
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: things that surface through that, but to get both in

247
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: major sports to come together and push in the same direction.

248
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: I'm sure is something that's gonna help as well.

249
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I wish I could tape record when

250
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 5: you get Chuck and Travis in the same right around

251
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 5: the same conference table, and we had some of those

252
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 5: meetings early on.

253
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 3: It's it's it's electric.

254
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 5: But you know, like you said, our hockey program top

255
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 5: twenty five are been in and out.

256
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 3: You know, coaching Arene's doing a great job.

257
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 5: Our women's basketball got beat for the first time at

258
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 5: UMass the other weekend. But baseball's off to a great start.

259
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 5: Ease Ball's off to a great start. I mean, it's

260
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 5: it's it's twenty twenty six. I've said it, I'll say

261
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 5: it again. Is gonna be the best year in Miami

262
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 5: you know athletics history, truly feel, you know, truly believe that.

263
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 3: And then we get.

264
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 5: To come this fall an opportunity to go to TQL Stadium.

265
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, how cool? I mean that is well. I was

266
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 2: announced earlier in the week and you and I were

267
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: messaging a little bit about it. Originally set for pay

268
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: Corpse Stadium. Now here's this unique environment at TQL Stadium.

269
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: The venue itself is awesome. If you've ever been to

270
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: an FC Cincinnati match or I urge you to do that,

271
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: But moving this game to TQL Stadium feels like a

272
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 2: win win for for all sides.

273
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's like you said, like that is.

274
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 5: I think it was just right of the best MLS

275
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 5: stadium you know, in that space for soccer.

276
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a reason that the national teams are

277
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: coming to play.

278
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 5: If you haven't been there, you got to go. And

279
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 5: I'm not a big soccer guy to be honest, but

280
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 5: you go, you have a great time. So I think

281
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 5: it's gonna be a special environment for the rivalry. I

282
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 5: think really excited about the portal class we had put together,

283
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 5: Uh that we have a bunch of early enrollies as freshmen.

284
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 5: I think we have a much better class and crop

285
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 5: of guys that are gonna follow the culture and what

286
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 5: we're we're we believe in with coach Martin and in

287
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 5: the Miami football way. But it's gonna be a lot

288
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 5: of fun to see you see in Miami battle at

289
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 5: that stadium, and it's gonna be fantastic.

290
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: That the thing for me with n I L and

291
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 2: I hold this to the to the very top at

292
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 2: the Bengals. I think one of the most challenging parts is,

293
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 2: you know, you look at the Bengals. They've spent money.

294
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 2: Are they spending the money that the scheme and the

295
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 2: personnel match what you want to do together? And I

296
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 2: think that's a learning process in college as well. Of Okay,

297
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 2: now we have money to spend. That's the first part

298
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: of it. Are you spending the money the right way

299
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: to get perfect fits into your program? And when you do,

300
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: you see in Indiana that Okay, we spent the money,

301
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 2: but also every piece seems to fit together. That has

302
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: to be a learning curve as well for a guy

303
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 2: and Chuck Martin who's done it for so long. One way,

304
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: now you're paying players, but you got to make sure

305
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 2: you're paying the right players. And as you said, it

306
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: feels like and following along with the class in the portal,

307
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: it feels like you see a lot of these guys

308
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 2: like man that seems like it fits for who they are.

309
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I won't tell you what we have

310
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 5: exactly right now, but I can tell you what we

311
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 5: did have, which was zero than the first year, was

312
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 5: eighty thousand dollars. Right when we were going up against

313
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 5: other guys. They're at ten, twelve, thirteen million dollars.

314
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 3: At that point.

315
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, so now we have a lot more and so

316
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 5: like you said, like, how do you spend that money?

317
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 5: In our GM Cody Keller and his staff. So we've

318
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 5: built a staff, we have a general manager. Even talk

319
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 5: to coach Steele about it. It's it's there's teams that

320
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 5: we've played in basketball that have more money than us.

321
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 5: But it's how we've spent our money, how we build,

322
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 5: how we value, Like you said, that is a process,

323
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 5: and we've definitely learned through that.

324
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 3: Myself.

325
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 5: I've learned through that because you know, I'm a little

326
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 5: bit part of that process. And I think we learned

327
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 5: a lot last year. We're going to continue to learn.

328
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 5: But it's exciting to have the resources now. It's like

329
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 5: you said, it's it's uh, now you're going how do

330
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 5: we spend this? And that's an exciting thing to do.

331
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 5: But like you said, just because you have all the

332
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 5: talent in the world, the piece has got to fit,

333
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 5: you know, And and that's I think that we're seeing

334
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 5: that across the board in any sport, and culture still matters.

335
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: That's why I love about the basketball team.

336
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 5: It's a great lesson not just for us at Miami,

337
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 5: but I think the whole whole country that you know,

338
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 5: you've got to still put you know, culture matters, teamwork matters,

339
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 5: camaraderie matters, passing the ball to each other, you know,

340
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 5: rooting for someone else's success, you know, is it still matters?

341
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 5: You know, And that's what's so exciting about Miami basketball,

342
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 5: not just for our other sports, but like I said,

343
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 5: really for college athletics. I think it's a huge thing

344
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 5: for us right now. And I'm hoping that we finished strong.

345
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 5: We still got a lot of ball left in front

346
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 5: of us. Tony Mac Championship. By the way, Ady David

347
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 5: Saylor said, Hey, get your tickets. Miami allotment is starting

348
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 5: to sell out, which is awesome. I think you're gonna

349
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 5: see a huge support to see a red up there

350
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 5: in Cleveland. But go to Emmy RedHawks dot com. And

Speaker 2: You've already got the residency in Detroit for the MAC Championship.

357
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: T should folks just go ahead and start in Cleveland

358
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: now with what Travis Steele is putting together. Three more

359
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: regular season opportunities at Western Michigan Friday home versus Toledo

360
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: and a game that I can imagine is gonna be

361
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 2: madness on March sixth on the road at Ohio. Three

362
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: more opportunities, and as you mentioned, that's just the tip

363
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: of the iceberg. I'm sure this team has bigger aspirations

364
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 2: than a regular season, undefeated slate, a MAC championship, NCAA tournament,

365
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: and so much more. I know, football at Pittsburgh TQL Stadium,

366
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: Yukon and the non conference. So a lot of big

367
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: stuff continuing on for Miami. I'm I'm thankful for you

368

Speaker 2: to stop by today one more time for folks that

369
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 2: are either just learning about this, maybe this is the

370
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: first time they're hearing it, or maybe want to find

371
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 2: a way to give and have an.

372
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 5: Impact with Red Brick Legacy. What's the easiest way? Yeah, no,

373
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 5: really appreciate it. Thanks again for all the support RedBrick

374

Speaker 5: Legacy dot com. We have socials that are out there,

375
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 5: red Brick legacy. MU RedHawks also has because now it's

376
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 5: a partnership with the school. They have links and they

377
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 5: send out a lot of content. But you know, I

378
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 5: know the kids. You know, it's awesome to talk to

379
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 5: Pete Sooter and all these guys that are now you know,

380
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 5: kind of national figures, but like just to understand and

381
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 5: just said thank you know, walked up to them after

382
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 5: the game there night and said thank you a senior night. Yeah,

383
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 5: and you know it's a special group. Get behind these guys.

384
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 5: Let's let's finish the right way. I would love to

385
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 5: say that it felt really good to be OU. We

386
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 5: do not like OU. Make that very clear, and hopefully

387
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 5: that last game in the season. It's now flex to

388
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 5: ESPN two, Battle the Bricks and Basketball. Not a big

389
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 5: fan of those Ou Bobcats. My brother went there, and

390
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 5: definitely a lot of inter rivalries in the in the

391
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 5: OU world.

392
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 3: So beat the Bobbies.

393
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: You hate to look ahead, but you have Western MISCN

394
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 2: four and eleven in the conference, ten and eighteen overall.

395
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 2: Toledo is a good team nine and six in the conference,

396
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 2: fifteen and thirteen overall. But if you can get to that,

397
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: that'll OU game undefeated. I can't imagine the madness that

398
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 2: will ensue listening, which he's not.

399
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 5: They're up in Michigan right now, but he is game

400
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 5: by game. If you heard me talk about ou, yeah,

401
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 5: he is it. He is, Like, dude, if I hear

402
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 5: you talk about two games in advance, like you're hear

403
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 5: me in travel.

404
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: So please hopefully he's.

405
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: In Western Michigan Broncos on Western. Yeah, that is. That's

406
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 2: Kyle Decker Red Brick legacy. We appreciate the time and

407
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: we'll catch up, soir, Yeah, appreciate it. Thank you, guys,

408
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 2: appreciate and follow Austin Elmore. Don't forget about that at

409
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 2: Audielmore right there, it's a Since he three sixty, we're

410
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 2: rolling along our number three ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

411
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: Great use of a little free part here, welcome back,

412
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 2: since you three sixty. Thanks to Kyle Decker for stopping by.

413
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 2: Thank you for listening to ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

414
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 2: Yesterday at the Ballpark, Reds pick up their first spring

415
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 2: training win of the season, one and two. Again, not

416
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: that Winton losses really matter, but what does matter is

417
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 2: what you saw from the Reds. I think and Austin.

418
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 2: You said it as well, pretty close to what I

419
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 2: think a lot of people would project right now the

420
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 2: opening day lineup to look like maybe Dane Myers gets

421
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 2: swapped out of there, and I don't know how the

422
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 2: back end of that would look like, but certainly at

423
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 2: the top, TJ friedel another hit, another RBI, Matt McClain

424
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: with the long pants, another hit, and a walk in

425
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 2: the game. And then we also saw for the first time,

426
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: I think why the excitement is where it is from

427
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 2: a lot of fans from the Cincinnati Reds. Back to

428
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 2: back home runs in the bottom of the fifth from

429
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 2: Elie de la Cruz and eo Hedio Suarez gave you

430
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: a little taste, and I think when you kind of give,

431
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 2: you also take away a little bit as well. Ellie

432
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 2: struck out twice, Suarez truck out in the game. But

433
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 2: all in all, you get to kind of peel back

434
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 2: the curtain a little bit of what this lineup can

435
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 2: look like, especially from a power standpoint. Saw Andrew Rabbit

436
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 2: over two inning strikeout two also gave up a two

437
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: run home run, but a Reds win yesterday. The back

438
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 2: to back home runs. Outside of that, any other major

439
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 2: takeaways from yesterday's game.

440
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 6: Their first win of the spring. It was nice to

441
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 6: see Sworez get his first two hits of the spring.

442
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 6: He also singled along with that homer. You did mention

443
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 6: they not only had back to back homers, but back

444
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 6: to back strikeouts. That's going to be part of the

445
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 6: growing pains with those two in the middle of the lineup.

446
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 6: Brandon Williamson four strikeouts and a couple innings of work.

447
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 6: I think people are continually impressed with what they have

448
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 6: seen from him. And yeah, guy made twenty starts for

449
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 6: the Reds a couple of years ago before he ran

450
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 6: into that shoulder and then elbow injury. I think he's

451
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 6: going to be a bigger part of the twenty twenty

452
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 6: six season than we realize at the moment. Other than that,

453
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 6: it was relatively status quot The Reds go on the

454
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 6: road for the first time in the spring later this afternoon.

455
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 2: One other thing I do thought it was a refreshing

456
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: and welcome site. One walk divviat out by Reds pitching. Yes, yeah,

457
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: there that is sho got that corrected. Yeah, a little

458
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 2: bit better than what we had it at. Do we

459
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 2: have a lineup for how they will attack the Chicago

460
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 2: White Sox today.

461
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 3: We sure do.

462
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 6: Cactus League action for the Red Legs at three to

463
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 6: oh five in Glendale. As I mentioned, they're going on

464
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 6: the road for the first time in spring to take

465
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,959
Speaker 6: on the southsiders, the Chicago White Sox, who have had

466
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 6: a pretty big off season by their standards. Now the

467
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 6: worst owner in sports is Jerry Reinsdorf. He owns the

468
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 6: Chicago White Sox. He also owns the Chicago Bulls. Now

469
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 6: they're actually, it appears, investing in the White Sox. Meanwhile,

470
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 6: they're driving the Bulls into the ground. Not that it's

471
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 6: a sore subject or anything. Here's how the Red Legs

472
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 6: will line them up. Leading off in left field Hector Rodriguez.

473
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 6: The second batter is third baseman key Brian Hayes batting third,

474
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 6: right fielder JJ Bledet. The cleanup batter is first baseman

475
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 6: South Stuart batting fifth. The d h Nathaniel Lowe. The

476
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 6: sixth batter is catcher Jose Travino. Blake Dunn will bat

477
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 6: seventh and play center field. Garrett Hampson bats eighth. He's

478
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 6: the second basement. The ninth batter is shortstop Edwin Arroyo.

479
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 6: And starting on the mound for the Red Legs today

480
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 6: the big lefty nick Leddolo Dolo day for the Red Legs.

481
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 6: Once more, it's Rodriguez Hayes, Rodriguez Hayes, Blade, Stuart Low

482
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 6: Travino Done Hampson Arroyo with Lodolo on.

483
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 2: The mound, not the old Hayes bla day Man two

484
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 2: three combination. We talked a lot about the two hole.

485
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 2: We haven't talked about key Brian Hayes up there in

486
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 2: that two hole.

487
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you better not be Jay J.

488
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: Bleday. A chance to see Sal Stuart uh with some

489
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 2: extended action as well, and I think.

490
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 6: We have We've not yet seen Spencer Steer in the outfield.

491
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that the big point here and kind

492
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 2: of drove this home and Chad Brendle did so yesterday.

493
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 2: The ability of Hunter Green, Andrew have Itt and Nick

494
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 2: Lodolo as a big three to just get and start

495
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 2: as many games as possible.

496
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you can get ninety starts out of those guys,

497
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 6: you'd be thrilled.

498
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 2: Yep, each of them start thirty games. Divvy up the

499
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 2: rest between your four and your five, and also your

500
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 2: deep pitching rotation for times when guys are banged up.

501
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: When you need guys to maybe miss a starter or two,

502
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 2: you feel like you've got some built in depth there.

503
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 2: You just talked about Brandon Williamson, We've talked about Rhet Louder.

504
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 2: I think everyone we've talked about that's been to spring training.

505
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 2: Austin has openly spoke about Chase Burns and how impressed

506
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 2: they've been with Chase Burns and that could potentially be

507
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 2: your fifth guy in the rotation kind of bursting onto

508
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 2: the scene as a star in the making for the

509
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Reds. Let's take a break. I'm back. We have

510
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: one final segment before we welcome Mo Agerbach for the

511
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 2: first time this week right here on the home of

512
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 2: the Bengals, ESBN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

513
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 7: Welcome back.

514
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 2: Since the three sixty ESBN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station,

515
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 2: the coumbine is ongoing, which means Austin that the Bengals

516
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: are hosting player interviews. Do we know at this point who,

517
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: in fact the Bengals have met with.

518
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 6: We know a few of the defensive linemen and linebackers

519
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 6: that are meeting with the media today that have confirmed

520
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 6: they've met with the Bengals. David Bailey, the edge from

521
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 6: Texas Tech, Sunny Styles. Linebacker from Ohio State, Rubin Bain Junior,

522
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 6: the edge rusher from Miami Caden McDonald with defensive tackle

523
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 6: from Ohio State, Peter Woods, the dtackle from Clemson. Peter Woods.

524
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 6: I think had twenty one team interview. It's a long

525
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 6: day for Pete and Dante Corleone from Cincinnati. When he

526
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 6: when he met with the media this morning, he said

527
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 6: he hadn't met with the Bengals yet, but he was

528
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 6: going too soon, So I would assume that meeting has

529
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 6: happened already or is happening right now. That's just the

530
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 6: list so far. Obviously more of those will come out

531
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 6: over the next couple of days.

532
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 3: We go.

533
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 2: Also, did you see the news about the Toush push

534
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 2: It got banned. Yeah, we talked about it yesterday. No,

535
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 2: it got banned on the show. It got banned in

536
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 2: the UFL. Anyway, care about that? The UFL banned anyway,

537
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 2: The Toush push is no more.

538
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 3: Anybody care about that.

539
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 2: In the UFL. Mike is on the phone. What's up, Mike, Hey.

540
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 8: Thank you for squeezing in guys. For sure, I had

541
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 8: some weird stuff happened. I had a weird reaction to

542
00:25:54,600 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 8: some new medicine that was a little scary. Anyway, I

543
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 8: did some research on this since I have a lot

544
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 8: of time when in the damn bed, and there is

545
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 8: virtually zero correlation between the spring and the regular season,

546
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 8: and especially the postseason. I think in two thousand and six,

547
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 8: the Braves defied the know the Diamondbacks defied the odds

548
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 8: with a horrible spring training and then weaked into the playoffs.

549
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 8: And then I think the Red Sox had a great

550
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 8: spring training and then crapped out in twenty thirteen something

551
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 8: like that. But anyway, bottom line is zero correlation. It's

552
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 8: strictly a time, as you know, for development, experimentation and

553
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 8: a lot of young guys that most of them won't

554
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 8: even be on the team next year.

555
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 2: So yeah, for sure, it's funny.

556
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 8: To get excited about it, but you know, it's something

557
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 8: to do since there's nothing else much going on. Although

558
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 8: March Madness will be crazy pretty soon and I can't

559
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 8: wait for that. I missed it last night. Tongue, give

560
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 8: me a quick recap on what the hell happened with

561
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 8: the Bearcats with JT. Topp and they're all American being.

562
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 2: Out Texas Tech. You give them credit. They completely revamped

563
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 2: who and what they are on the offensive side of

564
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: the ball. Now they are heavy in the ball screens,

565
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 2: they shoot a lot of threes, They spread the court out,

566
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 2: they play a little bit smaller and last night in

567
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 2: that role, unfortunately, they were also hitting shots. They made

568
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 2: forty percent of their threes. They shot fifty two percent

569
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 2: from the field, and as Mowagar pointed out, on the

570
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: shots they missed, which wasn't many, they rebounded twelve of

571
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 2: them on the offensive glass. They're undersized, but yet still

572
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 2: out rebounded the Bearcats by a sixteen rebounds. It wasn't defensively,

573
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 2: the attention to detail and I think at times the

574
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 2: effort was not there last night. And if you look

575
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 2: across the box score for the Bearcats, Gisel James did

576
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 2: not have a rebound ler, McKinley did not have a rebound,

577
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 2: Keyshan Tillery did not register or rebound. It just it

578
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 2: wasn't enough in a game like that, all hands got

579
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 2: to be on deck on the defensive side of the ball,

580
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 2: and they didn't have that last night. And uh, and

581
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 2: it resulted in a disappointing loss.

582
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, because I remember coach McCastle and saying before the

583
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 8: game that they're all about team rebounding, team rebounding, and

584
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 8: their guards hit the.

585
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 2: Boards and their offensive rebounds resulted in points. It was

586
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 2: either put back dunks or kickout for wide open threes

587
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 2: as opposed. I mean, you see got eleven offensive rebounds

588
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 2: to just twelve for Texas Tech, but it felt like

589
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 2: Texas Tech capitalized on every single one of those offensive rebounds.

590
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a chiller loss too after what they've been doing.

591
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 8: That's that's fair. And one last quick thing, Dan Patrick

592
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 8: hit a thing. I'm kind of getting addicted to him,

593
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 8: like I amd you guys. He had a thing about

594
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 8: sounds of sports this morning, and uh, it was really

595
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 8: interesting to hear people calling in and talking about favorite

596
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 8: sound from all kinds of different sports. But the one

597
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 8: I remember growing up as a kid was down to

598
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 8: Cincinnati Gardens on Paddock Road where the Royals used to

599
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 8: play in Slipton over there, and going with my dad.

600
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 8: I was eight or nine years old and my dad

601
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 8: was a City of Cincinnati firefighter. He have his big

602
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 8: eyeballs cigar in his mouth, buying tickets, ticket windows before

603
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 8: we're going and you get in there, Tony, and not

604
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 8: just the size of the guys when you're that little,

605
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 8: but the sound of the PA announcer. It sounded like God,

606
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 8: like the voice was coming from heaven. It was the

607
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 8: most pleasant memory I had as a kid growing up.

608
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 8: It was. And then you hear the squeaking of the

609
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 8: sneakers that they were warming up. And then Jerry Lucas

610
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 8: came and did a thing before the game because he memorized,

611
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 8: he could memorize phone books. Sure did you ever hear

612
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 8: about that?

613
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 2: I can imagine just from Mason, but the sports time

614
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 2: because Dan Patrick what was interesting to me. He actually

615
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 2: brought up talking about that today the Texas Tech UC

616
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 2: game last night because he was going on and on

617
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 2: about how bad it sounded. He said, the rims, He said,

618
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 2: the rims were so bad, and he said he had

619
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 2: to turn the volume off because it was driving him nuts.

620
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 2: And you see was missing a bunch of shots.

621
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 8: Was it that? Because I didn't get to see it

622
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,719
Speaker 8: was death pronounced, Yes it was.

623
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 7: It was.

624
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 2: It was weird. And and you see made their first

625
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 2: nine shots, so you didn't notice it then, but every

626
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 2: shot he missed.

627
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 6: After that, they even played the audio on some of

628
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 6: the makes and it sounded like he was.

629
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 2: I don't know if he did, but he was trying

630
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 2: to get someone from Texas Tech on to explain it.

631
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 8: Wow. So so it was a clunk sound or what

632
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 8: I mean? How was it just irritating?

633
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 3: How would you describe it? Austen?

634
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 6: It was almost like it was a loose kind of

635
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 6: a squeak when it would hit. And you know, they

636
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 6: have a bunch of microphones there and part of it

637
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 6: is the way that the microphones or where that the

638
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 6: hoop is miked. But he was theorizing that that sound

639
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 6: was coming from the rim being loose as opposed to

640
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 6: them being really stiff.

641
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 8: Like a bolt being loose or something.

642
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, something like that. They were loose for Texas Tech shooting,

643
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 3: that's for sure.

644
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 8: You guys are awesome, like come up with stuff and

645
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,480

660
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 7: It was great until halftime.

661
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say the first ten minutes were stellar,

662
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 2: that it was really good.

663
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 4: I knew they were in trouble. Eleven fifty eight to go,

664
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 4: UC had not missed a shot.

665
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were up by five. Did you because this

666
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 2: was apparently a big thing with Dan Patrick today, it's

667
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 2: been a big thing with some of our listeners. Did

668
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 2: you notice the sound of the rims as everyone else did?

669
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 7: Yeah?

670
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 3: It was odd sounded fine to me.

671
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 7: Huh, I was wrong with them.

672
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 2: And Dan Patrick did a whole segment about how bad

673
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 2: they sounded, how he had to turn the audio off.

674
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 4: If you were listening to the radio. Last So for

675
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 4: the first nine shots wishes, Yeah, No, I didn't. I mean,

676
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 4: I was there, so I don't know. I didn't watch

677
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 4: TV broadcast, but yeah, for for like the first uh

678
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 4: eight minutes or so of the game, they were awesome

679
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 4: on offense up by five.

680
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 2: Did have no answer for Christian Anderson last night.

681
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 7: He was awesome last night.

682
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 8: Man.

683
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 4: They they didn't try as many things as I maybe

684
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 4: would have liked to see him try, but I'm not

685
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 4: sure it would have mattered.

686
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 7: He was awesome.

687
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 4: A team is scary, scary even without yeah, the igning

688
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 4: player of the year.

689
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 3: In the conference.

690
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 2: It's insane to think about. But also if the Bearcats

691
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 2: hoped to do anything going forward that the disappearance at

692
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 2: times of Daydae Thomas has been Yeah, I think alarming.

693
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 4: That's the thing though, Like with this team, they've played

694
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 4: twenty eight games and game to game, what are you counting.

695
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 2: On as of the last couple Baba Miller and Mustapha Champ,

696
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 2: But that's not been consistent every game all year.

697
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, And like I think both guys against Kansas made

698
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 4: shots that you don't necessarily go okay going into every game.

699
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 7: This is what we have, I thought.

700
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 2: I like the fact that they played inside out against

701
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 2: Kansas and early last night that. I think they got

702
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 2: away from it a little bit. But I like playing

703
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 2: through the post.

704
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 4: I think Mustapha Chomp's good. I think like legitimately good.

705
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 4: I just I don't know what they can go into

706
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 4: a game against a good team in that environment and

707
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 4: hang their hat on and so there they are at

708
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 4: fifteen and thirteen. But yeah, I'm sure there's gonna be

709
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 4: no shortage of people doing the math to.

710
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 2: You, am, uh, what do you have coming up on

711
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: the program today?

712
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 4: Like here's the thing, Like, it's well, if they win

713
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 4: their next five, they're in the conversation. Okay, well, yeah,

714
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 4: I'm in the conversation to go out with Chloe Fieman.

715
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 4: Sure can I go out with her?

716
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 7: No?

717
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 4: Well we had the conversation, like I'm sorry, man, Like

718
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 4: I've gotten a bunch of this, Like, well, if they

719
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 4: just win like number one, you know what they still

720
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 4: have to do. They have to beat BYU here. That's

721
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 4: not going to be easy to go to TCU and

722
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 4: will they'll be underdogs in that game and then win

723
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 4: multiple games in the conference tournament to be what team

724
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 4: number seventy four? Mm hm, Like I I hate to

725
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 4: sound annoyed, Maybe I am.

726
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it's the same exercise we do

727
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 2: seemingly with every team that we talk about. Well, if

728
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 2: they hadn't lost that game early on, if they didn't lose,

729
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 2: we did it with the Reds, we did it with

730
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 2: the Bengals.

731
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 4: The problem is not losing the dors Tech. That's a

732
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 4: really good team with a gu Christian Anderson, who was awesome.

733
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 4: The problem is it was the thirteenth loss the.

734
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 2: Western Michigan's dead laughed in the mouth.

735
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 7: Ten and nineteen ten and nineteen like that.

736
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 4: Those the Xavier and EMU games loom over this entire season,

737
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 4: some of the early season in the Big Twelve. Losses

738
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 4: to schools like West Virginia, the UCF game, Yeah, the

739
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 4: Arizona State loss like loom over everything. At face value.

740
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 4: There's no shame in losing on the road to Texas Tech,

741
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 4: none whatsoever. The problem is the added importance of those games.

742
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 4: And like I you know, hey, if they would have

743
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 4: won that game last night, they're on the bubble. Well

744
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 4: then you got to play your way off the bubble,

745
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 4: which I think is more difficult than people seem to

746
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 4: want to realize. But I don't I don't know why

747
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 4: it sounds so annoyed with it? What's on the show today?

748
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, or we talk about last Lance game love.

Speaker 2: about a big swing. Fascinating and in talking about a

779
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 2: big swing, he said, well, you're always looking for one,

780
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 2: but to take a big swing, you have to realize

781
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 2: that you could swing and miss and it requires big compensation.

782
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 2: And to me, what I'm kind of at the point here,

783
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,280
Speaker 2: where can we just take the big swing?

784
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 8: Uh?

785
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 2: Like that to me sounded like Duke saying, yeah, we

786
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 2: could take a big swing, but that that's a chance

787
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 2: that you you miss on it as well.

788
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 7: You know, we talked we.

789
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 4: Did this last week where the Max Crosby thing came up. Yeah,

790
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 4: and I did the most annoying thing a human human

791
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 4: being can do. I answered a question by asking a question,

792
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 4: So should the Bengals trade for Max Crosby?

793
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 7: Yeah?

794
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 4: That sounds awesome? Can they still satisfy all of their

795
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 4: other offseason needs? And if the answer is yes, let's

796
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 4: go for it. It feels like they believe that not

797
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 4: only is acquiring Max Crosby be gonna be a little

798
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 4: bit bit too rich for their blood, but also like

799
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 4: we have all this other stuff to do.

800
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 2: What do you mean, Duke Tobin said that you feel

801
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: like they can win it all right now?

802
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 7: Okay, well he's kind of in the minority room.

803
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: Oh he did it. What do you say, nobody else?

804
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,399
Speaker 2: Back to back answers, he said, what do you say

805
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 2: we need to.

806
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 6: We're good enough to win the Super Bowl? And I

807
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 6: know that I'm the only person who thinks that way.

808
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 6: We have to get better.

809
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 3: Let me ask this.

810
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 4: Duke Tobin talked at the end of the season for

811
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 4: like an hour the Mega Press conference, and then he talked,

812
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 4: yesterday were good on Duke? Those is like this huge

813
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 4: yearning to hear from Duke now that we have heard

814
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 4: from him, are we okay?

815
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 2: I can't imagine be to get access at the combine

816
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 2: to maybe be around Duke to hear as those.

817
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 6: I want to know how many other great draft picks

818
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 6: he will reference, because he referenced the trade for Joe

819
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 6: referenced Geno Atkins is a fourth round pick. He referenced

820
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 6: Andrew Whitworth as best player available.

821
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 7: Twenty years ago. Sixteen years ago.

822
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco was his example of a big swing.

823
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 4: I mean, this is like one of these guys that's like,

824
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 4: you know, forty one years old talking about what he

825
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 4: did in high school.

826
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 3: Right, That's that's exactly what it is.

827
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 4: Is that is that what we're just saying, Oh, stuff

828
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 4: that we did a decade and a half ago that

829
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 4: people are forget, Like, you know, Akins been out the

830
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 4: league for like six years now, but that was it

831
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:12,240
Speaker 4: was good about.

832
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 6: Him, the perfect thing to help people realize how they

833
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 6: value draft picks. In their mind, every fourth round pick

834
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 6: is Geno Atkins well, and as as misguided as that

835
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 6: might be, that is the that's why they won't trade it.

836
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 6: That's he he unveiled it right there. I understand where

837
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 6: he's coming from in that regard.

838
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 3: They do.

839
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 2: Every sixth round pick is tom Brady, tom Brady, so

840
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 2: take The thing is.

841
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 4: Like draft picks are valuable, but they don't necessarily have

842
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 4: to be spent on players you take out of college

843
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 4: like those. That's currency, and it's currency you could use

844
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 4: to get college players cheap labor. It's also currency you

845
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 4: could use to get established players. Like just because you

846
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 4: trade a draft pick doesn't mean you don't value it.

847
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 4: You're using it to get something. Yep, right, it's it's currency,

848
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,280
Speaker 4: it's an asset. That's where I think there's a huge disconnect.

849
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 4: Could not agree more. Could not agree more.

850
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 2: What do you make of the huge walk off win

851
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 2: Spring training win number one for the Reds.

852
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 4: Ellie de la Cruz and a Uhano Suarez went back

853
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 4: to back. It was strikeouts are homers? We talked off

854
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 4: there earlier. There will be so many instances this year

855
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 4: where they hit back to back home runs. There's also

856
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 4: gonna be a lot of times where it's like runner

857
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 4: on second, third, one out, Elle Suarez strikeout back to back,

858
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,280
Speaker 4: and you're screaming at your TV.

859
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 2: But you just kind of have to go with that's

860
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 2: what it's going to.

861
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 3: Be this year.

862
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, with with Gino,

863
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 4: there's gonna be a lot of that and not much

864
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 4: else besides home runs. With Ellie, you sort of hope

865
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 4: he rounds into a more polished hitter and is maybe

866
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 4: a little bit better at putting the ball in play.

867
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 7: But yeah, that was that was cool yesterday I seen

868
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 7: those guys.

869
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 2: What do you think of Matt McClain wearing the pant

870
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 2: leg down early on in spring training.

871
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 4: I prefer the pant leg down. Okay, Look, if you're

872
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 4: not gonna have actual stirrups, I like the pant leg.

873
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 2: Okay.

874
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 4: Now there's a movement of people who like the high socks,

875
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 4: and that's cool. Now I think if you're gonna go

876
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 4: old school stirrup, high pant leg, nobody wears the old

877
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 4: school stirrup.

878
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 7: So then pant leg down.

879
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 2: You're talking low paint leg or like pant leg tucked

880
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 2: under the spike.

881
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 4: That looks always sort of stupid, that sort of looks

882
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 4: just a lot of a good pair of pants, low

883
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 4: and professional, low and professional.

884
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, but like how about extremely tight Jonathan Andya Spencer

885
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 6: Steer type.

886
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, Jonathan India did wear his pants.

887
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, not too baggy, not too tight. Wear the pants

888
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 2: down just basically the way I wear jeans, and then

889
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 2: the whole oven not skinny jeens, oven mits. We're done.

890
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,439
Speaker 4: My nephew got an ovenman to play baseball this year,

891
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 4: but they're not allowed to slide.

892
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 7: What's the point behind the oven mitt?

893
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 3: Then this is the culture that you provoked with the

894
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 3: bat flip culture. This is part of it that you provoke.

895
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 7: So these oven mids are my fault.

896
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, part of it.

897
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 4: I get the oven protection, but if you're not allowed

898
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 4: to slide, well.

899
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 2: You don't want to get hit in the hand. Running

900
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 2: the basis, you gotta look cool. That's what it's all about.

901
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,919
Speaker 2: If you purchase it, it's like a no situations Dad

903
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 2: is that?

904
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 7: Run you?

905
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 3: They're not cheap.

906
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 7: No, No.

907
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:15,600
