Speaker 2: will play those talkbacks in our number two this afternoon.

16
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: We've got a ton to get to over the course

17
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: of the next three hours. We've got NFL Combine week

18
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: upon us. Yes, the NFL Scouting Combine happens this week.

19
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: The Reds have already played in two spring training Cactus

20
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: League games. They lost both, but we'll talk about some

21
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: highs and maybe some things too a little bit be

22
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 2: concerned about. As the Reds are off today and then

23
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: they return to action tomorrow. We'll talk about FC Cincinnati

24
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 2: winning their MLS opener at TQL Stadium, along with many

25
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: other things with your phone calls sprinkled in five to one, three, seven, nine,

26
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty. Some of the key things that we will

27
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: discuss this afternoon, though, is what happened in the college

28
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: basketball world over the weekend. I got a lot of

29
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: tweets Austin over the weekend that said, man, Tony's going

30
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: to be insufferable on Monday.

31
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 3: And you already have been so far this.

32
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: I am going to be even more insufferable throughout this afternoon.

33
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: You're just a hard guy to be around when the

34
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: Bearcats are performing well four because there's really no winning

35
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: with class. There's no humility, no, there's no you know

36
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: at all, just there's none of that, and so that

37
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: makes you difficult to be around. But for you, know,

38
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: as your friend at least I think as your friend

39
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: and co host, I'm happy for you that you get

40
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 3: to experience the joy of winning, not just the joy

41
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: that being said, I'm sad for those around you.

42
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: The joy I have to deal with you. I would

43
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: say domination eighty four to sixty eight. Something that doesn't

44
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: happen at fall Gallen Fieldhouse. The worst home loss for

45
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: quite some time for Bill self Kansas was two seventy

46
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: seven and nine at home against unranked opponents. Under Bill

47
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: self and the Cincinnati Bearcats for the first time since

48
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety went on the road, a true road game

49
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: and beat a top ten ranked team. Not a bad

50
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: weekend for the Bearcats. Will recap everything that was in

51
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: the college basketball world, all outside of the Bearcats winning,

52
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 2: Louisville Gotta win, Dayton Gotta win, and Miami RedHawks Austin

53
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: Senior Night with Miles Garrett in attendance.

54
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's a polar bear doing in Arlington, Texas?

55
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: A Mallette Hall Polar Bear siding, Miami rolls over Bowling Green,

56
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: and losses over the weekend by NKU, Ohio State, Kentucky

57
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: and the Xavier Musketeers. We will recap all of that

58
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: ahead this afternoon. We have to talk about, though, of

59
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: what seemingly can galvanize a country in a way that

60
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: nothing else can Austin. And that was eight am yesterday,

61
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: gold medal match on the heels of the USA women

62
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: beating Canada in overtime to win a gold medal themselves.

63
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: Yesterday saw an early, early goal from Team USA and

64
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: then I don't know if you were watching the same

65
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: game I watched Austin. After the initial goal, it felt

66
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: like USA was on their heels for the remainder of

67
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: the game.

68
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, like it felt

69
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: like the United States dominated the first forty seconds of

70
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 3: the game and really didn't have control of the puck.

71
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 3: Oh my again until the game winner in overtime. It,

72
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 3: like I said, it felt like an absolute onslaught. They

73
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 3: say that the the ice is tilted in those moments,

74
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: and it felt like it was because it felt like

75
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: it went fifteen minutes without the ball being in or

76
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 3: without the puck being in the Canadian zone.

77
00:04:54,360 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: It was unbelievable. Forty two shots on goal for the Canadians,

78
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 2: just twenty eight for Team USA, but they got the

79
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: two that mattered, two goals, including the overtime winner by

80
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 2: Jack Hughes. In a moment Austin that I don't know

81
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: can be duplicated in anything else. To win the gold

82
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: in overtime against a team that quite frankly has favored

83
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 2: over you, a team known in their country for hockey,

84
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 2: you put the United States on your back. There are

85
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: so many things about the win. To have Goudreau's family

86
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: and kids on the ice afterwards, that moment was unbelievable.

87
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: The anniversary of their last gold medal forty six years

88
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: ago to the day of yesterday was insane, but it

89
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 2: was I don't know, it was a moment that, quite frankly,

90
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: you're going to remember where you watched that game years

91
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 2: to come. I watched it with a group of family

92
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 2: and friends, and the game winner Austin felt like when

93
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: the Bengals won the AFC title, like it was that

94
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 2: type of joy and celebration. And again, it's awesome to

95
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: see those celebrations across the United States and a very

96
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: fitting way to end the Winter Olympics for the Team

97
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 2: USA in a year where they won their most gold

98
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 2: medals at a Winter Olympics.

99
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 3: Ever, twelve gold medals for the United States in these

100
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: Winter Olympics. But I think you're right, and not only

101
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 3: is it you beat this quote unquote rival country you

102
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 3: do it in their sport, fresh off of the four

103
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 3: Nations face off in the great you know hockey that

104
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 3: we saw in that around a year ago. And oh,

105
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 3: by the way, the women's team did the exact same

106
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 3: thing to the exact same country by the exact same

107
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 3: score to get a gold medal for them as well,

108
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 3: to kind of double up on the Canadian in that way.

109
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,799
Speaker 3: It was just awesome. And to see everybody coming together

110
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 3: and the excitement, the video coming from Brick Street in Oxford,

111
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: which you know, once upon a time Miami was a

112
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 3: hockey school yor not, maybe haven't been as successful in

113
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 3: recent years, but you know, to see all those people,

114
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 3: all those kids up early, beating the clock and beating

115
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 3: the Canadians. And there's been a lot of coping from

116
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 3: the Canadians.

117
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

118
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: There's been a lot of complaining, whether it's about three

119
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: on three or this or that or whatever, which is crazy.

120
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 2: They didn't they didn't complain about the three on three

121
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: in the quarterfinals.

122
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 3: It's tough when you had so many opportunities. I mean,

123
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody watches that game and thinks, oh,

124
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 3: Canada was not the better team. They definitely were the

125
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 3: better team yesterday. But they had three at least wide

126
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 3: open nets.

127
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: Ye.

128
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 3: One they just flat out missed. One was incredible save

129
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: by Connor Hellibuck, who was ridiculous in that entire tournamente

130
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: himself a hella buff he You sure did to have

131
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 3: so many opportunities for the Canadians that they didn't capitalize on. Yeah,

132
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: let's complain about three on the three. I don't know

133
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 3: if to complain because you had open.

134
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: By the way, was that was that a surprise rule

135
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: change or did teams know about that going into the Olympics.

136
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 3: They did know about it going into the Olympics.

137
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: Did Canada benefit from that earlier in the games?

138
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 3: I believe they did.

139
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, but yeah, when you lose by it, by

140
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: all means, let's complain about it. We'll talk, we'll put

141
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: a cap on the Olympics. And I don't think anyone

142
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 2: could have put more of a profound cap on the

143
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: Olympics and Mike Tico's sign off. We'll get to some

144
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 2: of that audio as we go this afternoon as well.

145
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: But a day to celebrate more than anything, I think

146
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 2: on on Sincy three sixty doing some celebration yesterday again,

147
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 2: in the NASCAR Cup Series in Atlanta.

148
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: How about back to back.

149
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: Weeks for Tyler Reddick, back to back weeks for Jordan

150
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: winning in NASCAR.

151
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a fun when came down to the

152
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 3: final couple of laps they were in overtime in Atlanta

153
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 3: and Bubba Wallace, who was another twenty three to eleven

154
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 3: car was in the lead, got passed up and Tyler

155
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 3: Reddick was able to take advantage to go back to

156
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 3: back to start the NASCAR season.

157
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 2: It is Monday, which means it's mock draft Monday. We'll

158
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: dive into that today again on the heels of the

159
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 2: NFL Combine, And as Austin has tabbed it, you've developed

160
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: stages of the offseason.

161
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: Yeah.

162
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 3: I came up with this one is complete. This morning

163
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: in the shower, I was thinking about NFL offseason stages.

164
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 3: We've completed stage one, which is post Super Bowl until

165
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 3: the start of the NFL scouting Combine. Stage one is complete.

166
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 3: There are five total stages. If you're wondering what's happening

167
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 3: today in Indianapolis, it is the registration, pre exam, orientation,

168
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 3: and team interviews for place kickers, defensive linemen, and linebackers.

169
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 3: Also arriving today. Early player arrivals, defensive backs and tight

170
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,599
Speaker 3: ends on field workouts will happen later.

171
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 2: In the week. It's here Stage two.

172
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: We'll also here from Duke Tobin and Zach Taylor this week. Okay,

173
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 3: still waiting on win exactly we'll hear from them, but

174
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 3: I expect us to have the audio on Wednesday.

175
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: About some other stuff from the Olympics, Lindsay Vaughn says

176
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 2: that the surgery she had immediately following her crash saved

177
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: her leg from amputation. Yeah, I believe it. Unbelievable, literally

178
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: almost lost her leg competing in the Olympics. We are

179
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: thirty one days away from opening day in Major League

180
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: Baseball for the Cincinnati Reds. We'll talk about that this afternoon.

181
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: And if the college basketball weekend wasn't good enough, we

182
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: are going to put a local spin on college basketball

183
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 2: today but also on Saturday. It was a fun slate

184
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: across the board. It saw the number one team in

185
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 2: the nation fall to the Duke Blue Devils and the

186
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 2: Edward Jones Capitol Showcase sixty eight to sixty three. It

187
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 2: also saw the Arizona Wildcats and the number four team

188
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 2: go on the road to take on the number two

189
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,119
Speaker 2: team in the country, the Houston Cougars Arizona got themselves

190
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 2: a road win as well. It sets up on the

191
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 2: heels Austin of what U see did to Kansas at

192
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: Fall Gallen field House. It sets up a massive Monday

193
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: because that same venue, the Fog, will host Houston versus

194
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: Kansas tonight. Here's what's at stake. Houston hasn't lost three

195
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 2: games in a row since twenty seventeen. Kelvin Samson's trying

196
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: to be the first coach to win two games over

197
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 2: Bill Self at Fall Gallen field House, Kansas on Big

198
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 2: Monday under Bill soeuth at home is forty and oh.

199
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: They've not lost back to back games in Allen field

200
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 2: House since nineteen eighty eight. Kansas is one thirty eight

201
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 2: and twenty four following a loss in the Bill Self era. Something,

202
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: as they say, Austin has got to give in college

203
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 2: basketball tonight, that is going to be a fantastic, fantastic

204
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: game on the heels. I believe that one comes after

205
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 2: a Top twenty five matchup between Louisville and North Carolina

206
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 2: as well Top twenty five action BYU at home beat

207
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: Iowa State over the weekend. And how about UCLA Mick

208
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: Cronin's bunch. They come from a huge deficit early on,

209
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: they get the game to overtime and Donovan Dent hit

210
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 2: a go ahead layup with one second remaining in overtime

211
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 2: for UCLA to beat Illinois ninety five to ninety four.

212
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: What a fun weekend of college basketball. What a massive

213
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: week ahead of college basketball. Some huge opportunities. We'll talk

214
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: about the opportunity for Miami to continue their undefeated run.

215
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 2: We'll talk about what this week could mean for the

216
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bearcats. We'll get to all of that as well

217
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 2: as again, kind of put a complete rap on the

218
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: Olympic games as well. I'd be remissed as well, Austin

219
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 2: not to send best wishes to our guy Liam, whose

220
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: team in the Evendelle Rec League came up well short

221
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: yesterday in a uh I guess, a highly touted matchup.

222
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 3: I heard that you guys won, but I heard that

223
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 3: you didn't really have anything to do with it. Now

224
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 3: I heard that you performed extremely poorly.

225
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: Not a good shooting day. I realized that in the

226
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: second half, became more of a facilitator, more of a rebounder,

227
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: I let our guy you you used the term with

228
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: Maso last week mouse in the house. Yeah, it wasn't

229
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: a mouse in the house. Maso dominated yesterday. Just did

230
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: he dominate Liam anyone? I mean Mayso because.

231
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: My comment was specifically about the matchup between Liam and Mayso,

232
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 3: specifically about the size and everyone.

233
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: On their team. Maso lived in the paint yesterday. So

234
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 2: mouse in the house or not insane to watch? Speaking

235
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 2: of watching as well, right now, what's unfolding in Mexico

236
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 2: very scary right now in Mexico. The the World Cup

237
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: coming up is supposed to have matches in Mexico, correct,

238
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: And I believe I don't know all the details. I

239
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: know that a cartel leader was killed, and now the

240
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: cartel is wreaking havoc on Mexico and they're wondering, now

241
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: do you still plan on having the FIFA World Cup games.

242
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: I know that a couple high level soccer matches have

243
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: already been postponed in Mexico.

244
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 3: So well that you got that, the World Cup obviously

245
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 3: being a huge part of it. And also keep in mind,

246
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 3: just last week the NFL said they're going back to

247
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 3: Mexico City. True, and the forty nine ers are playing

248
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: a game now. Mexico City is a massive, massive city,

249
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 3: and that is several months down the line, but you

250
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 3: have to wonder if some something like that could be

251
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 3: changed as well, because you don't really know what the

252
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 3: fallout is going to be, but it does feel like

253
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 3: sports in some way will be impacted by this, I

254
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 3: guess response to the death of one of the cartel leaders.

255
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 2: Scary stuff going on, for sure. Let's start by putting

256
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: a final bow on the Olympic Games when we come back.

257
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: We'll end uh the Olympics next, and then we will

258
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: dive into the college basketball weekend. That was in particular

259
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: for what the Miami RedHawks continue to doing with the

260
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bearcats. We're able to do. That'll get us started

261
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: with your phone calls along the way five one, three, seven,

262

Speaker 4: Mad It's for Reski out Jack, you get out of

267
00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 4: space for numbers Captains Jacks Witchet the Golden Gold in

268
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 4: the Fitch States.

269
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 5: Had the first time since then Tenay bar gold in

270
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 5: the United States takes the goal.

271
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: Jack, you Sten, that is how it sounded. Yesterday's Team

272
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: USA captures the gold medal, beating Canada in overtime. Austin,

273
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: I agree. I thought that the I think the three

274
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: on three is exciting as heck.

275
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like it as a casual hockey fan.

276
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it. And it's like, it's not like

277
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: US won the face off in their first possession they scored.

278
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 2: Canada had multiple opportunities in that overtime session to make

279
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 2: the most of it. They didn't. Team USA did live

280
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: with it. That's what happens. Unbelievable. Man. It closes out

281
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 2: the Olympic Games. And again, as we discussed earlier, USA

282
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 2: wins twelve gold medals. It's best tally ever in a

283
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: winner games, thirty three medals overall. That trailed only Norway

284
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: when all was said and Don Austin on the total

285
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 2: medal tracker forty one for Norway, eighteen gold medals, thirty

286
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 2: three total for the United States. Twelve gold medals. That

287
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: is the second best in all of the Winter Olympic Games.

288
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: They tied Norway as well with the most silver medals

289
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 2: at twelve and did finish with nine bronze medals as well.

290
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 2: So much good that happened kind of from the Olympic Games.

291
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 2: But what I wanted to do, Austin, I know you

292
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 2: were actually looking for this yesterday because it was very

293
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 2: powerful and hearing in the moment. But Mike Turco, who

294
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 2: we highlighted the beginning of the games, he called the

295
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 2: Super Bowl and then went over on the flight to

296
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 2: start covering the Olympics, and his coverage has been awesome.

297
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: But do we have the audio of Mike Rico and

298
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: his sign off.

299
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 3: We don't have the whole thing, but we do have

300
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 3: the last minute. A lot of people said that the

301
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 3: part that was kind of over the video was the best,

302
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 3: but the part that was on camera is what we

303
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 3: do have here is Mike Turco signing off in Milan.

304
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 3: Because of a drought that almost lasted a half century,

305
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 3: those teams are revered, they are held on to forever,

306
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 3: and what happened today doesn't take away from the greatness

307
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 3: of those teams or the meeting that those teams have

308
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 3: in US hockey. But what you saw today was the

309
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 3: build of a generation, inspired perhaps by that team that

310
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 3: lost in twenty ten in Vancouver to the Sydney crossby

311
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 3: golden goal in overtime, or the team where tj Oshian

312
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 3: all those shootout goals twenty fourteen. That's when these guys

313
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 3: were doing what you're doing. Watch it on TV, and

314
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 3: they were young and they were living the dream. So

315
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 3: for all the young people out there, not just the hockey,

316
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 3: but all the Olympics you've watched, those dreams are formed.

317
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 3: Now go chase them and go get them. Because our

318
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 3: country loves sports and it brings us together unlike anything else.

319
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 5: And if you didn't know that, if you haven't been

320
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 5: watching the last two weeks, you saw it in Tmusa

321
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 5: hockey winning the goal. Over there are travel Canada here

322
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 5: in Milan to wrap up these twenty fifth Olympic winner games.

323
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 2: That part at the end about what sports can do

324
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: for us, and I think on the grandest level what

325
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 2: it can do for our country, but I think we

326
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 2: see it a lot here locally as well, what sports

327
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 2: can do locally, what it can do individually for all

328
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 2: of us. I think it's what makes sports as special

329
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 2: as they are, that they literally can unite a whole

330
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 2: country in a way that nothing else can. I mean, Austin,

331
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: we have. You could argue that we've never been more

332
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: divided as a country with everything going on around it,

333
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 2: and yet yesterday, for that moment and that time, it

334
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 2: felt like the most unified the country has been in

335
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 2: quite some time. Yeah, and sports get to do that.

336
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 3: Funny enough, it immediately was fractured again because of the

337
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 3: people celebrating in the postgame, because that's what we do,

338
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 3: is we fight. But it was fun to have everybody

339
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 3: seemingly on the in the country watching that game on

340
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 3: Sunday morning, and yeah, man, it was it was cool.

341
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 3: It's just it's fun to have everybody kind of on

342
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 3: the same page and rooting for the same thing, and

343
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 3: to have it go the way it went, specifically against

344
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: them and on as you mentioned, forty six years to

345
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 3: the day, the miracle on ice. And what I hope

346
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: we do is kind of parlay this into the spring

347
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 3: and summer, because we're like two weeks away from the

348
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 3: World World Baseball Classic happening, and you're gonna get some

349
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 3: of that patriotism back with the World Baseball Classic. Now

350
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 3: it's not the same stage as the Olympics, but then

351
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 3: you're gonna parlay that into what we mentioned earlier the

352
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 3: World Cup, and there are expectations, legitimate expectations for the

353
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 3: United States men's national team. No one expects them to

354
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 3: win the World Cup, but they are expected to at

355
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 3: least advance in that tournament. So hopefully it can be

356
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 3: as we celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth year of

357
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 3: the United States of America, hopefully it can be something

358
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 3: where maybe we just don't lose because it's our two

359
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty.

360
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 2: I saw something I don't know where it was from,

361
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 2: but it was a common along the lines of USA

362
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 2: hockey is where a lot of people years ago thought

363
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: USA soccer would be by now you know what I mean,

364
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 2: Like that years ago, there was a lot of build

365
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 2: up around USA soccer like, Okay, they're close, they're gonna

366
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 2: take the baton, they're gonna start leading this and they

367
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 2: really haven't done so at the men's side. Women's have

368
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 2: and they've dominated, but the men haven't. And you think

369
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,719
Speaker 2: of this surge that USA hockey has been on, I

370
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 2: think a lot of people feel like that's where the

371
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: soccer program was going for Team USA. I do think

372
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 2: as well, I mentioned earlier, you mentioned Johnny Goudreau and

373
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 2: his brother Matthew, who died in twenty twenty four after

374
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 2: they were cycling in their hometown. They were killed by

375
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: a drunk driver in an suv. I thought it was

376
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: a really cool tribute that Team USA had Johnny Goudreau's

377
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 2: jersey on the ice after the game, they invited his

378
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 2: kids down with the team picture. That was a very

379
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 2: cool moment as well, in honoring Johnny hockey as he

380
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 2: was known by many in the sport. But it was it.

381
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: I thought of it yesterday as you saw so many

382
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 2: videos online of Team USA and the parties and the

383
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 2: watch parties. It's very rare, Austin, Like I said, in

384
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 2: today's world where people all agree on something and where

385
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 2: people all get together and celebrate or watch in a

386
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 2: way in which we're all unified. And that is on

387
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 2: the national level on display. But I also think as

388
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 2: Cincinnati sports fans in general like we see that as well, Austin.

389
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 2: That Super Bowl run the Bengals have the city was

390
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 2: on fire, right, you see that when you know the

391
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 2: Reds put together the type of run that we all

392
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 2: hope they're capable of, and what that does to the

393
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 2: city and galvanizing not just the city, but the businesses

394
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 2: in this city as well. And you see it on

395
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 2: a different level when you see in Xavier athletics or

396
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 2: are playing at their peak and what f C Cincinnati

397
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 2: has done in the West End. We're lucky in a

398
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 2: sense that at least here for three hours daily, we

399
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 2: don't talk about the political side of things. We talk

400
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 2: about sports, and it's just cool to see and cool

401
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 2: to be reminded, as we were yesterday on how unifying

402
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 2: and exciting sports can be to bring people together. And

403
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 2: again in those moments yesterday, in those moments of celebrating,

404
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 2: you kind of get to step away. And I think

405
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 2: for so long people have used sports as a little

406
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 2: bit of a refuge. You know, there are times and

407
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 2: things in life that are hard, and I know people

408
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 2: go through a lot of things in life and everyone's

409
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 2: kind of at different stages, but for a lot of people,

410
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: there's refuge in watching a sporting event for however long

411
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 2: that event goes on, two hours, three hours, four hours,

412
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 2: where it kind of lightens the mental the load a

413
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 2: little bit and people are able to unwind a little bit.

414
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: And I know most of the time resort right back

415
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: to it afterwards, but from someone who enjoyed yesterday, from

416
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 2: someone who got to enjoy Saturday in the sense of

417
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 2: watching UC basketball do something that they haven't done since

418
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety. It's pretty cool moments over the course of

419
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 2: the weekend, and very gratifying and a constant reminder of

420
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 2: really how lucky we are to get to talk about

421
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: sports every day right here from noon to three. When

422
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 2: we come back, let's do that with the college basketball

423
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: weekend that was. We'll talk about a big win for Miami,

424
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 2: a big win for the Bearcats, a tough loss for

425
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: the Xavier Musketeers. You'll hear a little Patino, you'll hear

426
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 2: some Wes Miller, and we'll kind of paint the picture

427
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 2: of what's heading up this week. All still ahead, Cincy

438
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 2: that was, you have to start on Friday night because

439
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 2: another test and another test passed by the Miami RedHawks

440
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 2: ninety one seventy seven winners over Bowling Green. They took

441
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 2: care of business in the first half with a forty

442
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 2: five to thirty lead at the break. Never really let

443
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 2: their foot off the pedal in a game. Austin again,

444
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 2: Malett Hall is rocking. It is a awesome environment. And

445
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 2: you see a guy like Miles Garrett showing up in attendance,

446
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: You've got to take note of what's happening right now

447
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: in Oxford, really really cool stuff. Miami improves to twenty

448
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: seven and zero on the season. They enter now this

449
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 2: week with two road trips at Eastern Michigan and Western

450
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 2: Michigan tomorrow and Friday. Next week, they'll take on Toledo

451
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 2: at home before finishing the seas on March sixth on

452
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 2: the road at Ohio University. So Miami continues to play

453
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 2: very good basketball against Bowling Green. It is it's kind

454
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: of just a who's who. They get points in so

455
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 2: many different ways from so many different players. Four more

456
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 2: RedHawks and double figures. Another ninety plus point out burst

457
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 2: and a really really fun team to watch are the

458
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 2: Miami RedHawks right now as they continue to march on

459
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 2: for their opportunity and an undefeated regular season. Other local

460
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 2: happenings in the college basketball world over the weekend, the

461
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 2: Louisville Cardinals took care of business pretty convincing fashion against

462
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech eighty seven to seventy. The Kentucky Wildcats lose

463
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 2: another heartbreak of a game, this time on the road

464
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 2: at Auburn. A last second shot lifts Auburn to a

465
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 2: seventy five seventy four victory. It sends Kentucky now to

466
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 2: seventeen and ten overall. It also sends Kentucky to eight

467
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 2: and six, kind of smack dab in the middle of

468
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: the SEC standings. Kentucky still has games against South Carolina, Vanderbilt,

469
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 2: Texas A and M and Florida as they look to

470
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 2: try to get back on the right side of the

471
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 2: NCAA tournament bubble. Kentucky, as is seemingly everyone locally back

472
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 2: in action tomorrow night as well. Ohio State fell to

473
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 2: Michigan State on Sunday this week, and NKU they lose yesterday.

474
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 2: I had to like double check Austin on the score

475
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 2: at halftime. NK, you put up just fifteen points in

476
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 2: the first half, that's true. They then scored forty three

477
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: and actually did make it a game at some point

478
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 2: in the second half. But they end up falling sixty

479
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 2: four to fifty eight on the road at Youngstown State.

480
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 3: That's a tough one. Youngstown State behind them in the standings,

481
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 3: just fourteen and fourteen overall going into that game, a

482
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 3: game that NKU should win and they didn't. Norse are

483
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 3: nine and nine now in the conference, seventeen and twelve.

484
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 2: Overall, two games remaining Wednesday at Cleveland State and then

485
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: the home finale on February twenty eighth against Wright State,

486
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: Dayton winners over Ducine on the weekend in Dayton. Austin

487
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: turns ahead to look to tomorrow night, where they host

488
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 2: eighteenth ranked Saint Louis at ud Arena. So a big

489
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: one at ud Arena tomorrow night as well. On the

490
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: Xavier side of things, we don't have the audio at

491
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: our disposal of any patino in the post game. But

492
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 2: for Xavier, another tough loss. Now losers of two in

493
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 2: a row, four of their last five, and seven of

494
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 2: their last eight now are the Xavier Musketeers. They are

495
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 2: tied with Georgetown in Providence from second to the bottom

496
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: in the Big East. Only Marquette, with one less win,

497
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 2: sits below them. They do play Georgetown and Providence on

498
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 2: the rest of the way out. But a tough loss

499
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 2: on the road at Butler in a game or Xavier

500
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 2: did a I would say a good job in the

501
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 2: second half to make it a game. It got down

502
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 2: to a one point game late in the second half,

503
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: but Xavier built up too much of a deficit. It

504
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 2: felt like in the first half. They trailed forty seven

505
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 2: to twenty eight at the end of the first half.

506
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 2: It was a game in which Xavier never led, Butler

507
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 2: led by as many as twenty one In the game.

508
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: Xavier was outscored in the paint, Xavier was out rebounded,

509
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 2: and Butler seemingly outplayed Xavier in many statistical categories. Trey

510
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 2: Carroll again led the Xavier Musketeers with twenty four points.

511
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 2: Malik Messina Moore added twenty but they did not get

512
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 2: much else from the roster, as Xavier falls eighty to

513
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: seventy five at the hands of the Button Bulldogs. The

514
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: last game we'll talk about, obviously, and I will really

515
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 2: do my best not to be obnoxious with it. Is

516
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 2: what UC did to get their fourth straight. You can't win,

517
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: so I can't just just do it. Man. Listen, as

518
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 2: I told my wife on Saturday, because I was acting

519
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 2: irrationally after the game, I didn't really know what to do.

520
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: I didn't know how to handle myself. I was shaking,

521
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: I was excited, I was pumped up, and as she

522
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 2: tried to calm me down, I said, listen, nothing like

523
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: this has happened since nineteen ninety. It was legit the

524
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: first road win against a top ten ranked team that

525
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 2: the Bearcats have had since nineteen ninety. Kansas is dominant

526
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 2: at fall Gallon field House two seventy seven and nine.

527
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: Two seventy seven and nine versus unranked opponents at Fall

528
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 2: Gallon field House. That is uh, That's what the Bearcats

529
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 2: went up against. And not only did the Bearcats win,

530
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: they won in convincing fashion and it was kind of

531
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 2: the typical. They played good for thirty minutes and you're like,

532
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 2: all right, do they have enough or is this all

533
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: gonna fall apart at the seams. It didn't. They excelled

534
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 2: in the last ten minutes. They led it to half.

535
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 2: They never wavered. It felt at times in the first

536
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 2: half like, all right, this feels like it's on the

537
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 2: border of unraveling. And Kansas never led in the game

538
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 2: by more than four points. Gisel James only played a

539
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 2: few minutes in the second half because he was strapped

540
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,959
Speaker 2: with foul trouble. Since Here Harris only played nine minutes,

541
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 2: Tyler McKinley only played nine minutes. They only played eight

542
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 2: in the game, and of the eight that played, only

543
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 2: five players for the Bearcats played twenty more minutes in

544
00:32:54,640 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 2: the game. But the front court for U See was incredible.

545
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 2: Boba Miller set the tone early eighteen points, seven rebounds.

546
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: Mustapha Chom on his birthday twenty eight points and eight rebounds.

547
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 2: It was the first time that I felt like the

548
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 2: front court really dominated, and it was a Kansas defense.

549
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: They block shots, they give you all kinds of fits inside.

550
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 2: It's not like they're a bad defensive team, and it's

551
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 2: not like they're bigs. Can't play. You see took the

552
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 2: fight to Kansas, and what I liked most about the

553
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 2: game as it went on, you see played through their

554
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: bigs and Monts, Mustapha Cham and Boba Miller. When they

555
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 2: had one on ones, they went after the basket and

556
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 2: when double teams came, they consistently found the right play,

557
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 2: They found the right shooter. Dayde Thomas went scoreless in

558
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 2: the first half. He had ten big points in the

559
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 2: second half. Jalen Celestine how about four threes including a

560
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 2: couple daggers on his way to fourteen points. Mentioned Gisel

561
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,479
Speaker 2: James had foul trouble most of the game, only had

562
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 2: at five points. They got six points from Keyshawn Tillery.

563
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 2: But Celesteam Thomas, Chom Bobon Miller were awesome. It was

564
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 2: a game I think people wondered, what's gonna happen with

565
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 2: Darren Peterson. Darren Peterson didn't play limited minutes. He played

566
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 2: thirty two minutes. He took seventeen shots, he had seventeen points.

567
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 2: I thought the Bearcats did a great job defensively on

568
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 2: Darren Peterson. At times they went to a one to

569
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 2: three one to mix it up. I thought that was

570
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 2: a good change up. I thought they were locked in

571
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 2: defensively for most of the game. They allowed thirty four

572
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 2: in each half. And again, look, I'm not oblivious to

573
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 2: the fact that this team has dug themselves a very

574
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 2: bad hole. Losses to Eastern Michigan, the Xavier loss looms largs,

575
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 2: the Georgia loss. You could talk about that as well.

576
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 2: Any of the West Virginia games, the first UC. I mean,

577
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 2: there's at Arizona State. There's a ton of game you

578
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 2: can look at and sayd that game just gone differently?

579
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 2: Are those games just gone differently? Here's what we do

580
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 2: now with four games remaining, you see, it is at

581
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 2: seven and seven in the Big twelve fifteen and twelve overall.

582
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 2: They play a high quality opponent on March seventh on

583
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 2: the road at TCU, who's probably a tournament team. Outside

584
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 2: of that, they have two top twenty five matchups and

585
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 2: an Oklahoma State team coming into fifth third arena at

586
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 2: Texas Tech without JT. Topp and Tomorrow night, and then

587
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:36,240
Speaker 2: BYU comes in on March third. They've at least played

588
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: themselves into the conversation of if they can win these games,

589
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 2: then what which. Let's face it, when this team lost

590
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 2: to West Virginia fifty nine to fifty four. Again a

591
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 2: game they scored fifty four points at home, twenty four

592
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 2: in the second half. A game against West Virginia in

593
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 2: which you see led by fourteen at one point. See

594
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 2: lost that game and they fell to eleven and twelve overall,

595
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 2: and they felled a three and seven in the big twelve.

596
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 2: And that was the game in which Wes Miller got

597
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: very emotional in the post game. That was when Wes

598
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 2: Miller confronted a fan in the lobby in the postgame.

599
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,720
Speaker 2: Every reason to fall apart this team had at that moment.

600
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 2: Then they beat a tournament team in UCF. They took

601
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,439
Speaker 2: care of Kansas State in the way that Jerome Tang

602
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 2: ended up losing his job. They won a game against

603
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 2: Utah that they hadn't won much of. When they were

604
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 2: down five late, they found a way to win. And

605
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 2: then they put together easily the most impressive win of

606
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 2: the West Miller era on the road at Kansas eighty

607
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 2: four to sixty eight. I don't know what's going to

608
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 2: happen tomorrow night. I know Texas Tech is without topping.

609
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 2: I know Texas Tech scored one hundred in their game,

610
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 2: their first game without topping. So they're certainly played in

611
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 2: a different level. But so is the Bearcats. And I'm

612
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 2: not there yet. But if you see beats Texas Tech

613
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 2: tomorrow night, we're gonna have the conversation on Wednesday about

614
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 2: the NCAA tournament. We're not there yet, but there will

615
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 2: be a conversation Wednesday. If they can win and I

616
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 2: don't even necessarily think they have to win at Texas Tech.

617
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 2: If they win three of the next four and at

618
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 2: Texas Tech is their only loss, then I think you're

619
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 2: at least in the conversation of what do you have

620
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 2: to do in the Big twelve tournament to have a chance.

621
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 2: And again, after they scored fifty four points and lost

622
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,720
Speaker 2: a fourteen point lead against West Virginia, no one thought

623
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: anything like this possible. I credit the players, and you

624
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 2: got to give credit where credit is due. I credit

625
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 2: Wes Miller for getting these guys turned around and truly

626
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 2: right now believing in what they're doing. In those four games,

627
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 2: only sixty nine points against Utah, the other three ninety two,

628
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 2: ninety one, and eighty four, they are playing at a

629
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 2: different level with a different confidence. Do we have some

630
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 2: Wes Miller after Saturday's win against Kansas.

631
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 6: Please listen, this is a a great moment for our program,

632
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 6: and I feel an incredible amount of amount of joy

633
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 6: for our players. They've been and I've been saying this,

634
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 6: it's not just because we had a good night.

635
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 7: They've been so resilient.

636
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 6: They've had a great attitude. They keep trying to figure

637
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 6: it out. It has not been easy for us all year.

638
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 6: We've been dealing with all kinds of personnel stuff, injury, sicknesses.

639
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 7: You know, Gisel wasn't with us there for a big

640
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 7: part of the year.

641
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 6: So to to win a game in a place like this,

642
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 6: against a team like this, I just feel a ton

643
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 6: of joy.

644
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 7: For our players that they get to feel that reward.

645
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 6: How About how about our front court tonight. I mean,

646
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 6: it's moosed off his birthday. That's one heck of a

647
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 6: birthday present. We all got to feel like it was

648
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 6: our birthday tonight with him getting I mean I didn't

649
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 6: know he had twenty eight. I knew he was playing great,

650
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 6: but I thought, uh, he was terrific, not just scoring

651
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 6: the ball or stretching it to three, but you know,

652
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 6: being a force in the paint and some of the

653
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 6: rebounds laid I thought Baba was and the way those

654
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 6: two played off of each other was special.

655
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 7: Boba really set a tone for us early. It was

656
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 7: hard to score early, and he made a couple of

657
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 7: really tough plays over the top to kind of settle

658
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 7: us in.

659
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 6: Uh.

660
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: And then Keish.

661
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:13,720
Speaker 6: You know, I could talk about all of our guys,

662
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 6: but keischan Tillery in the extended minutes as a freshman.

663
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 6: We didn't even bring Gisel back because he was he

664
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 6: was playing so well.

665
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 7: So and a great night for us.

666
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 6: Uh.

667
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 7: We'll try to enjoy it till midnight. And then this

668
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 7: is the Big twelve. It doesn't get any easier.

669
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 6: We were on the road in a couple of days,

670
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:32,959
Speaker 6: so we got to turn the page and get ready

671
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 6: for the next one.

672
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 2: All right. So that is uh, that is Wes Miller

673
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 2: after the game. And again it's not him standing up

674
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 2: there labeling. It's just as every team does at different

675
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: stages of the season and and and everyone goes to

676
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 2: it and you're certainly you're seeing it. The team they played,

677
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 2: Texas Tech, is a I'm sure they think a national

678
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 2: championship contender, and they lose one of the best players

679
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 2: in the Nation and JT toppin the BYU Cougars lose

680
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 2: Richie Saunders. So yes, everyone goes through injuries, everyone goes

681
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 2: through up and downs. Everyone has distractions on and off

682
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 2: the court. I'm simply giving credit where credit is due

683
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 2: that it felt like it was going to completely unravel,

684
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 2: and they have pulled off four victories in a row.

685
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 2: They went most of the season without a true road wind.

686
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 2: They got one at Kansas State, and then they get

687
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 2: their second one at Kansas I don't know the ins

688
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 2: and outs of the wise. I just know that they

689
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 2: are playing better. They have not rolled over on their coach.

690
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 2: That is clear as day. They are scratching and calling

691
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 2: and fighting for their head coach. And because they won Saturday,

692
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 2: they at least keep the door cracked on what they

693
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 2: could do to make a run here at the end

694
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 2: of the year. Let's take a break. When we come back,

695
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 2: we'll put a bowl on our number one. We'll look

696
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 2: ahead to our number two. We've got red spring training,

697
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 2: We've got the NFL Combine to look ahead to, We've

698
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,800
Speaker 2: got mock draft Monday talkbacks in so much more. Between

706
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 2: Red Spring Training. Two Cactus League games in what we

707
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 2: like and what we dislike so far, very very early

708
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 2: in Red Spring Training. Baseball NFL Combine happens this week.

709
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 2: In fact, Austin, you gave me this this schedule, and

710
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 2: it's actually color coded, which helps me in a lot

711
00:41:53,719 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 2: of ways. Today pre registration exams, orientation and team interviews

712
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,439
Speaker 2: for kickers, d linemen and linebackers.

713
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 3: Also, what do you want to do our our yearly

714
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 3: segment of your combine memories? I think maybe tomorrow. No,

715
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 3: I think that's Wednesday.

716
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 2: I think Wednesday, okay, because that is when the running backs, quarterbacks,

717
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 2: and wide outs will start their team interviews.

718
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 3: Let me just ask you this, because you know we

719
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 3: were texting a little bit with with James Rapeene. This morning,

720
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 3: and I know that that one of the things they

721
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 3: do is the bench press. Yeah, and I actually got

722
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 3: to see this live at the Combine one year. I

723
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 3: got to watch linebackers bench press yeah in person. Pretty amazing.

724
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 3: The what they put on there is two twenty five, Yes,

725
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 3: that's two plates. How many reps did you get?

726
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't. I didn't bench at the Combine. Well,

727
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 2: my highest ever, I think twenty five was seven. I

728
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 2: think I did it seven times. It was one of

729
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 2: those things that it's like, unless you're gonna like wow

730
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 2: people with it, just don't do it. That's kind of

731
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 2: what I was told now, And you weren't going to

732
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 2: be wow at anybody. No, Okay. Now, what I was

733
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 2: under the impression of, you know, at my time at

734
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 2: the University of Cincinnati with the great Paul Longo, is

735
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 2: that as a quarterback, you're not lifting for one rep

736
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 2: max reps. You want to build functional, explosive strength. Is

737
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 2: what Paul Longo would teach. Avoid heavy traditional lifts and

738
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 2: focus on strength and repetition. That's what we were told,

739
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 2: so we prioritized lag and core And what I did now,

740
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 2: I couldn't bench much. I could power clean with the

741
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 2: best of them. Okay, I took pride in my power

742
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,720
Speaker 2: clean Yeah, we did. I remember a lot of power cleaning.

743
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 2: That's right.

744
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 3: Do you do you know what your max bench press

745
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 3: was for one rep?

746
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't, but I had remember. But you

747
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 2: choose not to shore. I got seven times. That was

748
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 2: my That was that was my peak. I respect.

749
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 3: That was this the same You got the same advice

750
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 3: from the agent that said the Bengals were going to

751
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 3: draft you, the guy that told you.

752
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 2: That's a that's ay. Yeah, so we'll see how that went.

753
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 3: We got to revisit that story as well, because that's

754
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 3: my favorite.

755
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 2: We have plenty of time this week to do so

756
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 2: we'll do that around the draft speaking as well, before

757
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 2: we get the break of training. I uh, last last week,

758
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 2: on like Tuesday, Mayor was like, Hey, I'm going to

759
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 2: get a sitter. We're going to go on a date

760
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 2: night on Friday. Oh, which to me red flag immediately

761
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 2: because Friday is usually like I try to get the

762
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 2: kids out of the house and give her time to recoup.

763
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 2: And so I'm like, well, why would she pick Friday night?

764
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 2: And you know, she said, I can dress casually and

765
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 2: what are we doing. Come to find out, she took

766
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 2: me to her this bar class she's been doing. Let

767
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 2: me tell you what, And this is the god honest truth.

768
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 2: We were about ten minutes into the class and I

769
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 2: was gassed, and the instructor said, all right, last set

770
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 2: of warm ups, and I legit. I looked at Maya

771
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 2: and I about walked out of the class. Yeah, because

772
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 2: going there, I said, you know.

773
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:16,919
Speaker 3: This is this is bar.

774
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a bar. I told us, like, there

775
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 2: are essentially like two or three exercises I despise. I

776
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 2: hate planks. I hate wall sits because wall sets, like

777
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 2: we used to do wall sets on Friday morning lifts

778
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 2: when I was at UC where we would do wall sets,

779
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 2: put a plate on our on our legs and the

780
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 2: coaches would just walk up and down the room on

781
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 2: the plates. I hated wall sits and I hate purpies.

782
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,399
Speaker 2: We did all three within like the first twenty minutes

783
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 2: of this year. Really, yes, interesting, I mean.

784
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 3: Because I googled what exactly bar is and this says

785
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 3: it's a low impact, high intensity fitness method inspired by ballet,

786
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:59,240
Speaker 3: pilates and yoga that uses a stationary handrail to perform

787
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 3: small isometric movements. Is that what you experienced?

788
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,839
Speaker 2: No? Oh no, we were doing squats. We were doing

789
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 2: we did planks, we did burpies, we did wall sits.

790
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 2: I've never met somebody who likes burpies. It was are

791
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,280
Speaker 2: there are people in that class that like them? Really?

792
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 2: Oh God, they're slapping the floor, they're excited.

793
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 3: It's all. It's all mental. It's always has me.

794
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 2: I'll say this. I respect the bar circuit. I respect

795
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 2: completely different than what I was going into it.

796
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:37,760
Speaker 3: Have you ever done pilates? No, it's it's you.

797
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 2: You just awakened muscles you didn't even know needed to

798
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 2: be awakened, like we were doing like we ended up

799
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 2: doing like shoulder stuff. And of course, like you get

800
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 2: in there, you're like, why are you using the eight

801
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 2: pound weights? I'm gonna get these fifteens? No, fifteen's a lot. Yeah,

802
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,919
Speaker 2: and then you're you're panicking that way. It's just it.

803
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 2: It was. It was bad all around.

804
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 3: I was trying to at you, but I.

805
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 2: Was trying to do like the shoulder stuff, and we

806
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 2: were doing like you had to do like a split squad,

807
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 2: and I couldn't even I wasn't focused on my upper

808
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 2: body because my leg was shaking so much just from

809
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 2: the warm up.

810
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 3: When's the last time, like you went through a full body.

811
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 2: I couldn't tell you. Like working out to me right

812
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 2: now is body weight and running to play basketball.

813
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 3: I had a similar experience one time at the YMCA

814
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 3: and Cydney. My friends were like, hey, we're taking a

815
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 3: kickboxing class and I was like, oh, that sounds cool.

816
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 3: I thought we were going to be kickboxing.

817
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 2: No.

818
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 3: No, we were running and burpies and sit ups and

819
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:39,760
Speaker 3: like occasionally we'd like hit the bag and I was dying.

820
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 2: Now I think I threw up. Well yeah, it was like,

821
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 2: you know, here's the bar, we're gonna do some you know,

822
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 2: I don't know. I thought it was more like stretching

823
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 2: yoga type. It was not. There are muscles that I

824
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 2: have been activated that are hurting me today that I

825
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 2: didn't know I had in my body. And when the

826
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 2: class was Friday, yeah, and you know, like Saturday, you

827
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 2: felt rough. I woke up sundown like this is bad,

828
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 2: this is not good. But uh, kudos kudos to the

829
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 2: folks that do that on a daily or or multiple

830
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 2: times a week.

831
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 3: Basis maybe something you should look into.

832
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the time and the kids and all that.

833
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:21,879
Speaker 3: I just don't well, I just mean like any sort

834
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 3: of workouts.

835
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 2: That's true. That's true. Eventually, I'm gonna get that code

836
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 2: for downstairs and do some workouts down there.

837
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 3: I'll give you mine, all right me. Actually, no, it's free.

838
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 3: You should do it yourself.

839
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 2: Let's take a break, man, I gotta go walk a

840
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 2: couple laps. Get the blood flowing. Whendn't we come back.

841
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:43,000
