16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 5: be in San Diego tomorrow with PJ. Carlissimo. And about

17
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 5: eighteen years ago, this guy took over the Final Four

18
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 5: Dick and Jackson for our friend Kevin Harlan when Kevin

19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 5: just said I've had enough. And I can confirm after

20
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 5: having many conversations with Kevin about Kevin Cougler, the old

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 5: man is very, very proud of his protege and he

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 5: joins us right now. Kevin Cougler on ninety three three KJRFM,

23
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 5: How are you man?

24
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 3: That is that's very cool to hear. I'm with Kevin

25
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 3: in San Diego this week. And you guys know PJ well,

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 3: PJ Carlossimo, who I know is on with you. He

27
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 3: is already organizing dinners. So I don't know if I'm

28
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 3: actually call him basketball, but I know I'll be eating

29
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 3: well and probably not out, you know, probably out very late,

30
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 3: which is par for the course of peach.

31
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: San Diego is not a bad food town, man, no

32
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: doubt about it.

33
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 5: Well let's uh, let's talk about some of these teams

34
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 5: that you're gonna see. First of all down there in

35
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 5: San Diego. Saint John's Rick Pattino, Kansas, Bill self, Arizona

36
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 5: with Tommy Lloyd Man. We got a potential Arizona Villanova

37
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 5: matchup and in round number two.

38
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: This is about as good as it gets for a

39
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: regional man.

40
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 3: I was fired up.

41
00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: You know.

42
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: We we signed these a couple of weeks before the

43
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 3: tournament even starts. It's just sort of a luck the draw.

44
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: Who might you show up with in your region? Sometimes

45
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: it's great, sometimes it's not. I think we've got a

46
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: potential for some really good games, some very interesting teams.

47
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: And look, you're talking to potential national champion or two.

48
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 3: Maybe they start their road to the Final four right

49
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 3: there in Diego this weekend.

50
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 6: Well, you mentioned San Diego.

51
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 4: That can't be lucky to draw that the veteran Kevin

52
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 4: Cougler gets to go to San Diego instead of Buffalo

53
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 4: or Oklahoma City for the first round.

54
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 3: Right, I pulled no strings.

55
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: I was gonna go there.

56
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: I was gonna go play in honesty though, And here's

57
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 3: what you guys have done this stuff for a long time.

58
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: When you get into a first and second rounde at

59
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 3: the AA event, it all looks the same. I mean,

60
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: I'm in an arena for fifteen hours on Friday, and

61
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 3: I'm in the arena for another eight hours on Sunday,

62
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: and I could be anywhere. Now when I walk outside,

63
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: all know I'm not a I'll know I'm in San Diego.

64
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 3: So that's the benefit of.

65
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 6: That, no question about it.

66
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 4: Well, you've, like you said, you've done it for eighteen

67
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 4: straight years at this level. Give me the talent level

68
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 4: difference because of nil college basketball is so much different

69
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 4: now than it used to be. What's the talent level

70
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 4: difference between particularly the top end schools you're seeing today

71
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 4: versus fifteen twenty years ago.

72
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 3: I think the top and talent is more centralized into

73
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 3: the top spending teams, and you didn't necessarily see that.

74
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 3: This is my concern as someone who loves the NCAA

75
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: Tournament and has loved it for my entire life. And

76
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 3: I know you guys are fans everybody who loves college basketball.

77
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 3: The concern you have is is this event going to

78
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 3: be the same Cana Northern Iowa come out and consistently

79
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 3: compete with the Saint John's because ticket for Northern Iowa

80
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 3: and for Ben Jacobson, their terrific coach who's been there

81
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: for two decades, the ticket for them to success in

82
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: years past was get old and stay. You develop your

83
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: kids through their freshmen and sophomore years. They get to

84
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 3: their junior and senior years, they're in years three and

85
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: four in the system, and then they go out and

86
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 3: they beat these teams they beat at Kansas like Northern

87
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: Iowa has done in the NCAA Tournament, and they become

88
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 3: a great story. You don't get that anymore, because that

89
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 3: freshman at Northern Iowa who's really good ends up at

90
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 3: Saint John's the next year because Saint John's is going

91
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: to write a check for a lot more nil than

92
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: Northern Iowa has in their entire budget. So that's my

93
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 3: concern with this event that as this continues under this model,

94
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: you're going to see more and more power consolidated at

95
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: the top versus these middle teams that we all love

96
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 3: to see in the first couple of rounds.

97
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 5: Well, Kevin Coogler's with us on the radio show. He'll

98
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 5: be in San Diego for round number one and two

99
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 5: this weekend here all those games of course, right here

100
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 5: on ninety three to three kJ IRFM. And oh, by

101
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 5: the way, he's also a big deal because he's the

102
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 5: voice of the Final Four for the what eighteenth year

103
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 5: in a row. But you mentioned Duke there, man, and look,

104
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 5: they got some injuries now, Foster Gungba are banged up. Honestly, man,

105
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 5: how ripe is Duke for an early round exit potentially

106
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 5: in this tournament?

107
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 3: In your mind, I'm fascinated to see how the loss

108
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 3: of Caleb Foster affects this team in a tournament setting. Now,

109
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: they'll be fine against Sienna, although I've had Sienna this year.

110
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: Sianna is a nice team, They're a scrappy team. They

111
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 3: will coach Gerry back namara, the longtime stud for Syracuse,

112
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: is their head coach. So that'll be kind of a fun,

113
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 3: sort of an acc feel because Jerry McNamara's got a

114
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,119
Speaker 3: lot of Jim Beheim in him from an attitude point

115
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 3: and everything else. Duke is going to be threatened in

116
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 3: that game. But I don't know, can Cameron Boozer carry

117
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 3: this team all the way through? Get help from Isaiah Evans?

118
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 3: Can you overcome the loss, especially from behind the arc

119
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: of Caleb Foster? And I think that's where you're really

120
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: going to notice it. He opened up those defense some

121
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 3: thirty nine made threes, third best on the team this year.

122
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: I just I'm anxious to see how this Duke team

123
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 3: overcomes the loss of a significant player, because you've seen

124
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 3: it in their state with North Carolina. It's been very

125
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 3: difficult for Carolina to overcome the loss of a KEYCOG.

126
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 3: We'll see if Duke is going to be able to

127
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 3: do that. They had their help because they have Cameron

128
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: Boozer and Boozer's a stud, so can he carry it?

129
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 3: I think he can, especially through his first weekend.

130
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 4: Similar question on the other side of the brack with

131
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 4: another number one seed. I have Michigan going to the

132
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 4: Final four, but with trepidation. You've got the injury to LJ.

133
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 4: Cason and now you see Laxley Jenenburg or Lendenburg brother

134
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 4: with his knee wrapped at the end of their last game.

135
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 4: How much do you think injuries affect the Wolverines.

136
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 3: I worry about that too, if you're a Wolverines fan.

137
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: I don't know that that's necessarily a slam dunk that

138
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 3: this team, which has been great all year is going

139
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: to be able to overcome the loss of Case, And

140
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: I think that's a bigger loss than people give credit for.

141
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 3: You've got Elliott Cadou, You've got Trey McKenny, You've got

142
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: some guys back there that you can used. But I

143
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: don't know that it's that it's be to overcome that.

144
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 3: The bigger question is with Landeborg. Is Lendeborg going to

145
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: be full go? He'll go, but is he going to

146
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 3: be one hundred percent because you don't really have somebody

147
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 3: who fits his skill set coming off the bench. You

148
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 3: bring out a Roddy Gale junior who can do something,

149
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: but he's certainly at Yaksel Lendeborg. It puts more pressure

150
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 3: on Mores Johnson, it puts more pressure on a Daima,

151
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: and it makes it easier to defend this Michigan team.

152
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: In my opinion, if you don't have a fully funk

153
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 3: Yaxel Lendeborg, that puts Michigan in some peril. They're a

154
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 3: deep team, nine deep of good players, but nobody quite

155
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 3: like lat Yaxellendeborg to bring off that bench. Well.

156
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 5: Kevin Kugler with us again. The voice of the Final

157
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 5: Four is in San Diego with PJ. Carlismo, who was

158
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 5: with us yesterday. Kevin's with us today. So you get

159
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 5: to two of them on the broadcast tomorrow in San

160
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 5: Diego with rounds one and two. But Dick and I

161
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 5: were talking off the Kevin about the twelve versus five thing, uh,

162
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 5: and we both kind of looked at each other and said,

163
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 5: is that still a thing? And then you realize that

164
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 5: it kind of is. We had two upsets last year

165
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 5: two and twenty four, none in twenty three, but two

166
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 5: more in twenty twenty two. But I gotta tell you,

167
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 5: Kevin Man, I'm kind of having a hard time finding

168
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 5: one this year. Saint John's Northern Iowa, High Point, Wisconsin,

169
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 5: Texas Tech, Akron, McNee State, Vanderbilt.

170
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: If there's a twelve five, where is it in your mind?

171
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 3: If it's a twelve, I've I might lean a little bit.

172
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 3: Texas Tech, Akron. I probably shouldn't, Okay, but if I

173
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 3: were gonna, I mean, you're asking me to pick one

174
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: of these five teams, one of these five deals. That's

175
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 3: kind of the popular upset no topping. It's a very

176
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: you know, if you're a believer in the odds, they're

177
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 3: a very slight favorite to be to move on past Akron.

178
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 3: I think Akron is a really well coached team. You've

179
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: got a coach in there and John Gross who has

180
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 3: he has done a really good job. He's been a

181
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 3: high major coach before at Illinois. They're teen and one.

182
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 3: They've won nineteen of twenty games. They are a team

183
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: that is a similar style to Akron. Texas Tech loves

184
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 3: to shoot the three. Akron loves to shoot the three.

185
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: If you told me that Texas Tech went cold from

186
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 3: three in this game, and Akron didn't the difference, and

187
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 3: Akron can shoot from range if Akron gets hot, and

188
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 3: Texas Tech, for whatever reason, struggles a little bit. To me,

189
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 3: that's I'm with you, guys. I don't love any of

190
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 3: five twelves for the traditional matchup, but if I were

191
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 3: picking a five to twelve that I had to do it,

192
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 3: I'd probably see Cachron.

193
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 6: Kevin Coogler joining us the voice of the Final Four.

194
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 4: He'll be doing the San Diego sub Regional where the

195
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 4: number one seeded Arizona Wildcats are And I had to

196
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 4: read this three times just to believe it. Kevin, it

197
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 4: has been twenty five years since they've been to a

198
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 4: Final four.

199
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 6: That is unbelievable.

200
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 4: Arizona has busted my brackets probably more times than any

201
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 4: school in the nation. Is this the year that Arizona

202
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 4: not only can get to the Final Four, but potentially

203
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 4: win their first championshipsons Miles Simon.

204
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, one percent. Yes, I am all on board

205
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 3: with this Arizona team, which of course guarantees they'll lose

206
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 3: to l Iu on Friday. But I mean, I think

207
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 3: Tommy Lloyd's got such a well rounded team this year.

208
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 3: They are a scoring team, but they can also defend.

209
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 3: They defend the paint better than anybody in college basketball.

210
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 3: They are so good at the rim. They're not gonna

211
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 3: live or die by the three points a rebound of

212
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 3: basketball as well as anybody in college basketball. You've got

213
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 3: young players who they're doing Jaden Bradley who is just

214
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 3: as consistent as can be. Tobay, He's a machine on

215
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: the glass. This Arizona team is has balanced a team

216
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: for what Tommy Lloyd wants them to do as any

217
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 3: I've seen. I think this is. I think this is

218
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 3: the Arizona team that can make it all the way

219
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 3: to Indianapolis and beyond. They had those two back, that

220
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: back to back losing streak, two game losing streak, and

221
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 3: they want everything else. They're on another tear going into

222
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 3: the tournament. I love this team. I think they are

223
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 3: I think there is any right now in basketball. And

224
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 3: they had their injury situation and then they got healthy.

225
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 3: Talking teams like Duke and Michigan that may be dealing

226
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 3: with some injuries, Arizona's healthy right now. Let's say that's

227
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 3: as big a story as anything going into the tournament.

228
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 3: Are you full strength than they are?

229
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 2: Are you full strength heading into this tournament.

230
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Oh yeah, I only I had seven games last week.

231
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: I'm ready to go.

232
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 3: I'm ready.

233
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 2: Wow, you're a maniac. Kevin Cougler's with us.

234
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 5: He is with west Wood One obviously called the Final

235
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 5: four going to be in San Diego tomorrow with PJ. Carlismo.

236
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 5: Here are all those games starting at nine am here

237
00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 5: on the station. Now we got to take it by

238
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 5: the curtain. Here a little bit, Kevin. At the KJR

239
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 5: studios in Seattle, our longtime program director Rich Moore comes running.

240
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: In here and says, hey, man, I got a game.

241
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 5: I got a game Troy plus the points against Nebraska. Now,

242
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 5: I'm not asking you to give us an gambling advice,

243
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 5: but you're a Nebraska.

244
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 2: Guy, You're from there.

245
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 5: You know this Husker team has never won an NCAA

246
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 5: tournament game. They're oh to eight all time, which means

247
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 5: to me, they're freaking do they are due for a

248
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 5: win in this tournament. How much would that stun you

249
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 5: if Troy took down the number fourteen net team in

250
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 5: the country, in your corn Huskers, it.

251
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 3: Would surprise me, not at all. I mean, I've lived

252
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 3: my entire life, I went to school at the University

253
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 3: of Nebraska. I watched them lose as a three seed

254
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 3: to Xavier, the Xavier Musketeers of fourteen seed. I asked,

255
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 3: I worked with Pete Gillen, who was the coach of

256
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 3: that team. I said, Pete, you know you ruined my

257
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 3: college years by winning. Oh, we got lucky, We got lucky.

258
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 3: We had a few Schultz we got lucky. It was

259
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 3: It was not luck. It was just a fact that Nebraska.

260
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 3: Nebraska won the Crown last year and they won the

261
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 3: NIT in the nineties. That's really what you hang your

262
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 3: hat on if you watch Nebraska basketball player. And the

263
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 3: best part about the team that won the niit is

264
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 3: they tried to stage a mutiny in the middle of

265
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 3: that basketball season. They all marched into the athletic director's

266
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: office to try to get the then basketball coach, Danny

267
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 3: and he fired the aightey centers to go to work,

268
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 3: and then they won the NIT. There's been no such

269
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 3: turmoil with this team this year. They're really good though,

270
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 3: They're a really well team. I think they're going to

271
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 3: do it. I think they're going to get the first

272
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 3: ever NCAA Tournament win in the history of Nebraska basketball

273
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: and remove that from the trivia question that people loved

274
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 3: to ask, who's the only Power conference team to never

275
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 3: win an NCAA men's basketball game. It's the University of Nebraska.

276
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 3: I think that ends. I think Nebraska wins their first

277
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 3: ever NCAA tournament game, and then I think they're an

278
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 3: interesting team to watch because I think on a short turn,

279
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 3: the way they defend is going to be tough for

280
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: a team in the second round.

281
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 4: Kevin, you I mentioned doing seven games this week. You've

282
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 4: done scores of games since November. Is there a team

283
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 4: that you called this year that just kind of stuck

284
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 4: out to you as Wow, they were impressive. Doesn't have

285
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 4: to be an elite team, could be any team that

286
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 4: you called today or this year rather, and you just

287
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 4: came out much more impressed than you went going into

288
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 4: the game.

289
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 3: I know it's not a huge surprise because they're well

290
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 3: seated and highly thought of, But I have liked Illinois

291
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 3: all season long, and Illinois has been one of those

292
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 3: teams that's kind of befuddled me a little bit there

293
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 3: because there are games where Illinois looks amazing, and there

294
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 3: are games like when they played Michigan. A couple of

295
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 3: weeks before the season came to a close where they

296
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 3: just look completely lost. I think they're going to be

297
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 3: a really tough matchup in the NCAA tournament. They're big

298
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 3: one through five, they shoot one through five. They have

299
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 3: a tremendous freshman point guard in Keaton Woggler. This is

300
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 3: a team that is healthy coming into the postseason, but

301
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 3: every once in a while they just lay a giant

302
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 3: egg and they're a really frustrating team to watch because

303
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 3: they're one of those teams that you think you have

304
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 3: a peg on and then they come out and they

305
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 3: do something that makes absolutely no sense. So I will

306
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 3: ride with Illinois until I don't. I still think Brad

307
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 3: Underwood's got a really good squad. Just to see what

308
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 3: they look like when they get out of being well

309
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 3: scouted in the Big Ten and into a thing like this,

310
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 3: I think they could surprise some teams.

311
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, before you go, we're kind talking off the

312
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 5: air man about all the things you're doing. You called

313
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 5: the NFC championship, right, Hawk's Rams, did you not?

314
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 3: I called the week before that. I had the Hawks

315
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 3: and the Niners the week before that, which was not

316
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 3: a particularly compelling game if you were a San Francisco fan,

317
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 3: but if you're a Seattle fan, you loved life that day.

318
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, fabulous, Yeah, exactly, we love that man. It was

319
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 2: over after the opening kickoff, yes, know that.

320
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 5: At the time, it was just give us your thoughts

321
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 5: then on the Seahawk team moving forward, right. I mean,

322
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 5: one of the cool things about beating the Patriots is

323
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 5: that we're trying to kind of get back what they

324
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 5: robbed us of twelve years ago, which was back to

325
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 5: back titles. I mean, give us your take on your

326
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 5: confidence level or thoughts on if they can go back

327
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 5: to back and get what they were going after when

328
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 5: the Patriots beat him in Glendale in twenty fourteen.

329
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 3: Well, you guys know this, it's so hard to go

330
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 3: back to back because this league is not built for

331
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 3: teams to go back to back. In fact, it's built

332
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 3: to discourage teams and programs from going back to back

333
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 3: because it's just Pete Roseau wanted the League of parody,

334
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 3: and that's what he got. If there is a team

335
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 3: that can figure it out, though, at an organization that

336
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,479
Speaker 3: can figure it out at Seattle. I love Mike McDonald.

337
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 3: I think he is incredibly sharp. I think he is

338
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 3: he is a new era kind of coach, and I

339
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 3: think you have to have that in a new era

340
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 3: of the National Football League where there's so much flocks,

341
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 3: there's so many things that are going all around the league.

342
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 3: They'll miss Canine. I mean, there's no doubt about that.

343
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 3: They are going to miss him. He was tremendous this year.

344
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 3: But I also know what this league is, and this

345
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 3: league believes that you can go out and find a

346
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 3: running back. Yeah, plug and play at that position. And

347
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 3: I've seen nothing to make me think that you can't

348
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 3: plug and play at that position. It's such a tough division,

349
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 3: But is San Francisco going to be sustainable? The Rams

350
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 3: are closing it on the end of their run in

351
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 3: the next year or two. And you can tell because

352
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 3: they're going all in this year with Matthew Stafford still

353
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 3: at the quarterback spot. How much longer does he have

354
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 3: at that position. So it's a division it's tough this year,

355
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 3: which makes it harder to repeat, but it's also a

356
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 3: division that is going to be going through some significant

357
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 3: flux over the next couple of years. And if you're Seattle,

358
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 3: I got to feel like you feel you're poised to

359
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 3: run this division for a little while, especially when Stafford

360
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 3: hangs it up in the next year.

361
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 2: Now, I love that. Hey, Kevin Couger, do me a favor.

362
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 5: If you see Harlan, which I know you will on Thursday,

363
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 5: do not tell him that I forgot that he called

364
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 5: NFC Championship with the Hawks and Rams.

365
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: Okay, I will.

366
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna mention it to him.

367
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna say, you know what, Dick and Softie

371
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,400

433
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 5: you and I almost saw the greatest shot in the

434
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 5: history of college basketball.

435
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: Gordon Hayward off the back of the rim against.

436
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 5: Duke would have been the greatest shot ever in the

437
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 5: history of the NCAA.

438
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 2: But he came that close history of basketball.

439
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 5: I think you're right, and we were right back, Dick

440
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 5: and I snuck down to the baseline, remember that, Dick. Yep,

441
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 5: we snuck down. We were on the opposite end of

442
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 5: the court. We had great freaking seats. I mean it

443
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 5: was right in front of our faces.

444
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 6: Ye, the CBS booth was right in front of us.

445
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 9: Oh.

446
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 5: If Gordon Hayward could have hit that bucket, Dick and

447
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 5: I could have said, uh, you know what, I may

448
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 5: have kissed you.

449
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 2: Honestly, it looked good.

450
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 6: I was like, oh my god, it's going.

451
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 2: In another half inch and Gordon Hayward makes that shot.

452
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 5: So who wins Final four in Indianapolis, Michigan, Arizona, Houston, Duke.

453
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 2: Who do you like this?

454
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 4: Is going to be a stick to my picked because

455
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 4: you have always told me you gotta stick with your gut, right,

456
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 4: you gotta stick with your original gut right. And I

457
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 4: have liked the Arizona Wildcats all season long. I have

458
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 4: thought they're the best looking team all season long, even

459
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 4: though they have burned me numerous times in brackets over

460
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 4: the last twenty years.

461
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 6: I'm gonna stick for.

462
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 4: The Tommy Lloyd is gonna and you're gonna be happy

463
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 4: for him, because Tommy Lloyd's gonna get the championship before

464
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 4: Mark Fugh.

465
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 6: Is gonna get the championship.

466
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 4: And Arizona could actually end up beating Gonzaga to get

467
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 4: to the Final four, although I got Gonzaga out in

468
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 4: the Sweet sixteen to produce right, Yes, I got I

469
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 4: got Arizona beating Michigan on one side, and then god,

470
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 4: I just want to take Houston over Duke, and Duke

471
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 4: has a tougher road than Houston, but I just think

472
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 4: if it gets to the point where Duke plays Houston.

473
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 6: I think Duke is the better team.

474
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 4: It's got Boozer is just so fantastic, and the guard

475
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 4: cards are really solid as well, and they might be

476
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 4: fully healthy by then.

477
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 6: They might get Caleb back by then.

478
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna go with Duke against Arizona National Championship

479
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 4: with Arizona getting it done.

480
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,479
Speaker 5: Hey Duke in Arizona. Well, I'll tell you what, man,

481
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 5: Duke's been pushed a little bit in the last couple

482
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 5: of games, including Florida State and Virginia.

483
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 2: So I don't know, man.

484
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 5: I mean, this is the beauty of this NCAA tournament

485
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 5: that the best team in college basketball doesn't always win.

486
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 5: Didn't Yukon win this a couple of years ago as

487
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,719
Speaker 5: a five seed for Hurley's first championship at Yukon. I mean,

488
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 5: they weren't the best team in colle the only they

489
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 5: just won the tournament.

490
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 4: It's the only non number one in the last eight

491
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 4: years to win, right, It's all been ones for seven

492
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 4: out of eight years.

493
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 5: Well, this is the interesting thing is that the parody

494
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 5: that is kind of creeping in a little bit in

495
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,719
Speaker 5: college football, right with teams like Indiana that are kind

496
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 5: of stepping up and meeting the challenge, doesn't really seem

497
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 5: to be happening in college basketball. It's still mostly the

498
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 5: blue bloods in college basketball. Like you'd think that nil

499
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 5: would open something up for somebody, and that really hasn't

500
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 5: happened yet. I mean, this is a very chalky tournament,

501
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 5: chalky rankings, chalky seedings, like nothing really strikes you as hey,

502
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 5: this is a different era in college basketball because this

503
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 5: team would never have been a three seed, never have

504
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 5: been a four seed if not for the era of nil.

505
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 2: And I wonder if that's ever gonna change.

506
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 4: Well, I think you got to get that one, donor, right,

507
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 4: you gotta get what Texas Tech has in football, what

508
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 4: Ole Miss has in football, what Indiana has in football.

509
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 4: Now that what's the basketball team that's gonna step up

510
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 4: and say, you know what, I'm gonna give you ten

511
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 4: plus ten to fifteen million dollars a year. You build

512
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 4: your program, I'll give you ten to fifteen million a year.

513
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 4: And that could be anybody. I mean, that could be

514
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 4: any team in the pro any program in the country,

515
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 4: if they can get that booster to give them ten

516
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 4: to fifteen million. Now, you gotta get the coach to

517
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 4: put it together. A member guy Mark Pope is not

518
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 4: doing it a Kentucky with a twenty million dollar roster.

519
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 5: No, that's the thing that you see, Like, I don't

520
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 5: know if you saw this that Musclelman's already got three McDonald's,

521
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 5: all Americans now signed in USC. So who's paying that money? Petros,

522
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 5: We're too busy talking about Magic City and c sections.

523
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 5: We didn't get the USC what the hell was going

524
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 5: on with with with the Trojans down there? But yeah,

525
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 5: I mean, but but but USC is like that doesn't qualify, right, Like.

526
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 6: I mean basketball, though they have.

527
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 2: Squad in basket.

528
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's just because they haven't had the right guy, right,

529
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 5: I mean, USC is still us freaking See, I'm talking

530
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 5: about a smaller school like, for example, give me a

531
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 5: program of the Big Ten that isn't typically a Minnesota

532
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 5: great call.

533
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 2: You know, a team like that are you know what

534
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 2: even a team like a Washington for example.

535
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 5: Right, somebody like that that all of a sudden is

536
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 5: blowing up and doing things they never would have done

537
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 5: if not for nil. So I'm excited for tomorrow. You're

538

555
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 5: but with a media in baseball, you hear about what

556
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 5: happened with them.

557
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 9: I go not no.

558
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 6: I saw this on the sheet and I I'm for

559
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 6: purposely did not look it up because I wanted to be.

560
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 5: Some curious to get your thoughts in Jackson's thoughts. Evandrell,

561
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 5: I believe works for the athletic and I hope I'm

562
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 5: getting all this right, Jackson. If I'm screwing this up,

563
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 5: feel free to jump in. So a couple days ago,

564
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 5: Evan Drelik gets word that Miguel Rojas is getting suspended

565
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 5: for PEDS. But it wasn't Miguel Rojas. It was Johan

566
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 5: Rojas from the Phillies. So he puts a tweet out

567
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 5: with the wrong name. Now, I don't know if if

568
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 5: Evan actually knew that it was Johan and just had

569
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 5: a brain fart, right, which all of us do, and

570
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 5: just put the wrong name on his Twitter account. He

571
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,479
Speaker 5: is taking it down. I guess it was out there

572
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 5: for like eight or nine minutes, and that was enough

573
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 5: time for it to go around the world, you know, right,

574
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 5: and people get a hold of it. Whatever, all held

575
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 5: a break loose and the inside the Dodgers organization. So

576
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 5: he finally took it down and then today apologized to

577
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 5: Miguel Rojas for what happened. Apparently he has reached out

578
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 5: to Miguel Rojas about what happened. He said to Miguel

579
00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 5: Rojas and the Dodgers. I sincerely and publicly apologize. I've

580
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 5: reached out to Miguel the Dodgers, Miguel's agent to say

581
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 5: the same thing once again. I am sorry, says Evan Relik.

582
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 5: So this guy put a report out. It's not like

583
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 5: he was doing all this research and got some bad intel. Correct,

584
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 5: He just had their own name in his Twitter account. Well,

585
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 5: mcgil Rojas is not buying the apology. He was on

586
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 5: Chris Rose's show talking about this very top.

587
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 8: And then quickly, quickly this is on chriss story yesterday,

588
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 8: but got four Drelik apologized, got it?

589
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: Go ahead?

590
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 5: Okay, Evin Relick of The Athletic, who's actually been a

591
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 5: very good investigative reporter, mistyped your name when he was

592
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 5: talking about Johann Rojas.

593
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 2: Whoahoa, whoa, whoa whoa. Let me stop you there.

594
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 6: He didn't mistype my name.

595
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 7: He did it with all the intention to put my

596
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 7: name in the organization's name on that tweet. One thing

597
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 7: is to mistype my name and say Mighil Rojas, go

598
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 7: suspend it. That's a fair kind of mistake that you

599
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 7: can commit. But when you say Mighil Rojas from the

600
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 7: Los Angeles Dodgers, right Gas suspended eighty games for repe this.

601
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 6: That's what I'm not good with.

602
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 7: And I gonna talk to you about this, and this

603
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 7: is the only person I'm gonna talk to about the

604
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 7: about this issue, because I don't want to make it

605
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 7: a big deal and I don't want to.

606
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 6: Make it about myself.

607
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 7: But I feel like as a reporter, you have to

608
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 7: have some ability to be a professional as well and apologize,

609
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 7: not just to me, but to the organization because you

610
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 7: don't even know how Andrew Freeman felt after these accusations

611
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 7: that for six minutes kind of roambo my whole, my

612
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 7: whole world, and got so many people around me and

613
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 7: around us, the team, the Los Angeles Dodgers worry because

614
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 7: of one guy make a mistake. That is I'm totally

615
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 7: I'm totally okay with making mistakes. But at the end

616
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 7: of the day, I was expecting an apology.

617
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 6: Are you saying that Evan did not reach out to

618
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 6: you and apologize.

619
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 2: No chance, because I don't have X or Twitter or whatever.

620
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 7: He didn't make an apology to my name or the

621
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 7: organized for saying something like that.

622
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 2: Whether or not he wrote that he was sorry or not,

623
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: he Owes you a call. He didn't call me or

624
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 2: or trying to reach out or anything. Yeah, it is.

625
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 8: It is.

626
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 2: Wow. Well, so I agree with both of them, Chris

627
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: and Miguel.

628
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

629
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 5: I mean so, I'm just trying to put myself in

630
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 5: Evan's shoes. So he hears this news from somebody, either

631
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 5: sees it on a wire report. I don't know if

632
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 5: he if Guys, do you know like this, major League

633
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 5: Baseball like have like this, Like the NFL has a

634
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 5: place where you can go and check transactions, right, Baseball

635
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 5: may have the same thing.

636
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 2: I don't know.

637
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 5: And he saw the name Rojas and just for some

638
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 5: reason stupidly had a brain fart and thought it was

639
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 5: Miguel Rojas and just ran with it. Do we think

640
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 5: he purposely did this to kind of screw over. I

641
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 5: don't believe that either.

642
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 6: But I think he should apologize right away.

643
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 2: He did, he did, and he should I think you're right, Dick.

644
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 5: He should have once he realized he made a mistake,

645
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 5: he should have corrected it and apologized immediately.

646
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, on social media, and then try try to reach

647
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 6: out to the team as well. But you can't.

648
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 4: He can't necessarily get in contact. It sounds like Rojas

649
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 4: doesn't doesn't have any social media, but so you do

650
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 4: it publicly on social media, so sorry, you know, and

651
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,959
Speaker 4: then reach out to the team and say, hey, can

652
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 4: I talk to him Ago Rojas? And if they say no,

653
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,239
Speaker 4: then PA say, can you please apologize for me? Then

654
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 4: I'd like to do it in person, but you're not

655
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 4: giving me access to him, so please do that for me.

656
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 2: I guess I'm just trying to find a reason to

657
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 2: give this guy a break.

658
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 5: And it was two days ago that he put the

659
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 5: incorrect report out, took it down immediately when he figured

660
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 5: it out, deleted it, and then two days later apologized

661
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 5: to him Agau Rojas. So I don't know why it

662
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 5: took him so long to apologize in public on Twitter.

663
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 5: That's kind of weird. But do I think that he

664
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 5: was like fit going after Miguel Rojas because of some

665
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,719
Speaker 5: acts to grind with Miguel. I don't think that at all.

666
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 5: I mean, Evan Drelic. I don't know him personally, but

667
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 5: I've heard from people around the game that he's pretty

668
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 5: well respected in baseball circles, and that seems like a

669
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 5: pretty ridiculous thing Jackson, that somebody would do.

670
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 2: Very much so.

671
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, it's interesting the start of it,

672
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 8: Rojas was, you know, taking offense to Rose saying, you know,

673
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 8: mis wrote it. But no, Miguel, he did miswrite it,

674
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 8: like and again, we don't know if it was if

675
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 8: it was him just seeing the name Rojas and saying, oh,

676
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 8: that's that Miguel Rojas, or if he just got maybe

677
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 8: somebody with the league texted him and said, hey, this

678
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 8: guy's going on the list, and that the text was

679
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 8: wrote Miguel Rojas. Somebody screwed up across the line. But

680
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 8: the vitriol towards this guy and the vitriol on social media,

681
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 8: I think that's a little bit overblown. But also Evan, dude,

682
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 8: you take it down six minutes later, just follow it

683
00:32:55,880 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 8: up instantly with just send another tweet out saying I

684
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 8: sent a tweet and I've now since been deleted. That's

685
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 8: wrong and you can look up and see, oh he's

686
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 8: not on X and whatever. I apologize to Miguel Rojas

687
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 8: and the Dodgers for the incorrect information. It won't happen again,

688
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 8: and leave it at that. If you sent out that

689
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 8: follow up tweet instantly, over, it'd be over instantly.

690
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 5: Why really people would have given a guy a break

691
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 5: and done that.

692
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, no question. I mean that's what you gotta do.

693
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 6: I mean, we all can make a mistake like that.

694
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 6: Just own it instantly.

695
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 4: You know, sometimes when you're racing to get a story

696
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 4: maybe too right, Maybe he's maybe he's like, I gotta

697
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 4: get this out before anybody else does. I want to

698
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 4: be one one one that breaks the story. And then

699
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 4: when you rush, you make mistakes like that.

700
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 3: Right.

701
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think it was anything done on purpose,

702
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 5: but I do think it was a little sloppy for sure.

703
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 5: Every now and then you got to slow down. And

704
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 5: I find myself doing that, like I like to use

705
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 5: the voice to text thing, which never works, ever works,

706
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 5: by the way, and I'm always trying to go back

707
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 5: and like, what's the point of voice to text? I

708
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 5: gotta go back and correct it again. So yeah, I

709
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 5: get it.

710
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 2: I mean I would be.

711
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 5: I do think though that the way that Miguel Rojas

712
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 5: Sa has come out and denied this, like you know,

713
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 5: Petrows talked about this earlier, that you know, the the

714
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 5: lie spread so fast that people never eventually see the apology.

715
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 5: You know, doesn't it drive you nuts when a newspaper

716
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 5: has a retraction, it's like three pages in. Oh yeah,

717
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 5: I mean, don't you guys think that, Like newspaper retractions

718
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 5: should be on the front page of the paper, right, Like,

719
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 5: that's that's your penance, that's the price you pay if

720
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 5: you do something stupid and you're incorrect about a story

721
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 5: that you ran, it should run first of all, at minimum,

722
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 5: in the same spot that the.

723
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 2: Original story rang.

724
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 4: What I was gonna say, in the same level of font,

725
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 4: whatever that headline font was.

726
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 5: That's the number one, and that I would say that

727
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,439
Speaker 5: you can even do more and put in the front

728
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 5: damn page, front effing page, right you put it out

729
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 5: there and say, hey, we blew it because you really

730
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 5: want people to see the truth here. If the truth

731
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 5: is really what we're going after here, then like, let's

732
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 5: make sure as many people as possible see the truth.

733
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 2: But this is how you respond to this.

734
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 5: If you're McGill Rojas, you come out and you're angry

735
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 5: and you're pissed off, and you're like, I don't want

736
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 5: anybody ever ever thinking this about me. Remember when John

737
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 5: Smoltz was accused of this crap like twenty years ago.

738
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 5: I don't remember who it was, but he came out

739
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 5: and he said, look, if you don't retract this right now,

740
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 5: I'm going to sue you and.

741
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 2: Your entire family. He came out hard minutes minutes. He

742
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 2: was so pissed off. So I get it.

743
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 5: I get why he's angry about it, but I also

744
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 5: think it was just a just a dumb It was

745
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 5: a sloppy mistake by him, and there was nothing nefarious

746
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 5: about it whatsoever.

747
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 2: So I don't know, all right.

748
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 5: Brian Schmetzer, big game right Jackson to night against Vancouver

749
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 5: and Spokane.

750
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 2: Conker Calf he'll join us.

751
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 5: Not often that we have a coach come on hours

752
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 5: before a game, but he's doing that next on ninety

753
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 5: three three KJARFM. Well, speaking of big dogs, the biggest

754
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 5: of dogs showing us right now on the radio show.

755
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 5: He's a pitbull baby, he really is. He's coming after

756
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 5: you the head coach of the Seattle Sounders, which is

757
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 5: we are like two hours away from kickoff. My god,

758
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 5: he's joining us right now. Not a lot of coaches

759
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 5: would do that before tonight's game with Vancouver. Schmidt's how

760
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 5: are you man?

761
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 9: It's only because I love you and Dick and I

762
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 9: kind of like Jackson.

763
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 5: Well, you know what, he'll take that as a victory

764
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 5: by this, all right, right, that is a that is

765
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 5: an absolute win.

766
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 2: But you know most coaches wouldn't do this.

767
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 5: Man, Maybe you guys will find out, you know what,

768
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 5: this really isn't that big a deal to be talking

769
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 5: a couple hours before the game. The earth will continue

770
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 5: to spin, the sun will rise, and your boys will

771
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 5: be ready to play no matter what.

772
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 2: So maybe we should do this more often. But are

773
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 2: you ready now?

774
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,959
Speaker 5: Can you just tell us, for God's sakes, a couple

775
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 5: hours to go before kickoff, what your lineup looks like tonight.

776
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 9: It's gonna be very similar to the last lineup we

777
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 9: played against Vancouver, because you know it's a three nothing performance.

778
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 9: But only thought the preparation. The work's done, I mean

779
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 9: last night, we got here yesterday morning. Uh, you know,

780
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 9: we trained at the stadium here. It's a nice little stadium.

781
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 9: You know, the turf is nice. It's got a good

782
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 9: feel to it, you know, similar to Starfire. Intimate fans

783
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 9: are right on top of you, and training was good

784
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 9: last night. And all we need to do is just

785
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 9: make sure that we execute. So when I get to

786
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 9: the stadium, it's a couple of reminders. Maybe it's a

787
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 9: little pregame speech, but majority of the work's already done.

788
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 5: Well let's follow that up, though, because you made a

789
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 5: bit of a change to your lineup against San Jose.

790
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 5: You went with a bunch of young bucks and you won.

791
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 5: I mean, tell us about kind of what motivated that

792
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 5: and how likely it is that we'll see that again

793
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 5: very soon.

794
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 3: You think, well, it was necessities.

795
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 9: I mean, no other coach in the league has four

796
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 9: center backs injured, so we deputized Tina Lopez, and you know,

797
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 9: I was, look, I was, I was like a little, okay,

798
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 9: see what Tino's got because Craig and you know, Adrian,

799
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 9: they were looking at other center backs and we said, hey,

800
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 9: let's give the kid a shot. And guess what, he

801
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 9: was great. And it wasn't just the goal line clearance.

802
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 9: I mean he did a lot of good things, right,

803
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 9: So we rewarded a homegrown kid with a contract and

804
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 9: he earned it. And then Peter Kingston and Georgia got

805
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 9: us first start, and we had some other young guys

806
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 9: in there and they kicked ass. I mean, they worked hard,

807
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 9: they were doing everything that they could to help us

808
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 9: get a results and it was three points that are

809
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 9: going to be critical for us later in the year.

810
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 4: We'll take us back to that first matchup in Vancouver.

811
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 4: You just absolutely hammered him. What worked well so well

812
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 4: in that game?

813
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 9: Well, if you listen to their coach, they're saying they

814
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 9: kind of gave it to us because a couple of

815
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 9: defensive mistakes. Dick I would say, you got to earn

816
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 9: those mistakes in the first half of that game. Because

817
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 9: Vancouver plays a pretty uptempo match, they like to press

818
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 9: higher up the field. We were able to break their

819
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 9: pressure and kind of make them go, oh okay. You know,

820
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 9: normally they're dealing the ball and maybe in transition and

821
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 9: stuff like that. But our attacking movements playing from back

822
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 9: to front were pretty darn good. And then you know,

823
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 9: we we scored a couple of goals early and then

824
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 9: we had a couple of classics Steph Fry says to

825
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 9: close the game out three nothing deservedly.

826
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 5: So yeah, Well, Brian Schmetch was with us just a

827
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 5: couple hours away from kickoff tonight and Spokane at eight

828
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 5: o'clock over on FS two, by the way, and the

829
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 5: Conker CAF Champions Cup against Vancouver and you know the

830
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 5: drill man. You guys are up three to nothing on

831
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 5: these guys and you know you lose, just don't lose

832
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 5: by three or more. Right, So does that does that

833
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 5: changed the way at all you coach manage approach this

834
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 5: game tonight?

835
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 9: It does in a really really small way. I mean, look,

836
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,919
Speaker 9: we're gonna go out because you know, we always play

837
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 9: very similar, softy home er away. We never really change

838
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 9: our overall tactics. There's a little tweaks here and there,

839
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 9: and obviously a two game series, you know, you don't

840
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 9: want to get caught with your pants down if you

841
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,760
Speaker 9: press in the wrong moments or you try and go crazy.

842
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 9: So we will play conservative, but we're also going to

843
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 9: try and score the first goal because if we score

844
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 9: the first goal, i mean it's over. They're done. They're

845
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 9: not going to score four him.

846
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 4: Coach, you alluded to that game on Sunday against San Jose,

847
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 4: your last MLS game. You started those kids that you mentioned,

848
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 4: and you know, against a team that was three and

849
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 4: oh coming into the game and you got the win.

850
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 4: What impressed you the most about that performance, Well.

851
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 9: It was Paul Rothrock again. I mean, it sounded like

852
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 9: a broken record. I mean he stagged our butt a

853
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 9: bunch of times.

854
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 3: That the goal he scored, and.

855
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 9: He actually maybe should have scored. In the second half,

856
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 9: the kid had a timely goal. Timely finished. Looked we

857
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 9: were under it. They were on top of us for

858
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 9: a lot of the game. But you know, we did

859
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 9: just enough. And you know, Andrew Thomas had a monster game.

860
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 9: Jackson Reagan had a monster game defensively. You know, I

861
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 9: talked about the young kids. Masoski had a decent performance

862
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 9: up top. I had some veterans sprinkled in there, and

863
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 9: I think that helped well.

864
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,280
Speaker 5: Brian Schmetzer was with US Vancouver again coming up tonight,

865
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 5: and you mentioned the kid Lopez. How about the kid

866
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 5: Kingston man? This guy Peter Kingston, I mean Seattle you

867
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 5: he's a Husky, played for Balor. When does when does

868
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 5: the kid Kingston get a damn contract? If Lopez already

869
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 5: got one, that's not fair.

870
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 9: Well, if you watch my press conference, I advocated for

871
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 9: both of them. Craig and I are talking because he's

872
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 9: in a different spot on the roster, at the senior

873
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 9: roster spot. We got to, you know, think about what

874
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 9: we're going to do in the summer window. But you know,

875
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 9: the kid deserves a contract. I think it'll happen. You know,

876
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 9: I'm confident they will be find a way to squeeze

877
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 9: him in. He's on the bench for tonight's match. I

878
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 9: mean we had to call him up again, him and

879
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 9: Tino both, so you know he might see the field.

880
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 4: How about when Jordan Morris is going to see the field? Coach,

881
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 4: we're waiting for this guy. Do you have a date

882
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,919
Speaker 4: that you're trying to either put in pencil or maybe

883
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 4: even an ink on when you hope to have your

884
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 4: star back.

885
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, look, it's a couple hours prior to kickoffs.

886
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 9: I can probably leak it here. Jordan was a questionable

887
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 9: for this game, but I decided to, you know, do

888
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 9: a conservative thing and leave him home. Just give him

889
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 9: a couple more days rest. He is going to be

890
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 9: featuring in Minnesota. I can guarantee you that nice. He

891
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 9: was a ninety percent for this game, eighty five ninety percent.

892
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 9: But I said, you know what, it's not a playoff game.

893
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 9: I'm going to rest him. He's going to have he's

894
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 9: going to have to play maybe some minutes in Minnesota

895
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 9: because again with the fixture congestion, I need some healthy bodies.

896
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 2: To get Yeah, no doubt.

897
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 5: Well, you mentioned to coach earlier in Brian Schmittzerg and

898
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 5: is with us just a few hours away from kickoff

899
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 5: with Vancouver over on FS two and the Conker CAF

900
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 5: Champions Cup, that you've had what four center backs I

901
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 5: think banged up so far. I mean Yamar is out

902
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 5: for a while, So what's going on there and what's

903
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 5: the status and maybe some dudes on the way back.

904
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 9: Well, the Imar is still a long ways away. I

905
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 9: mean he really he really shredded his hamstring, kim key,

906
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 9: he is still kind of it's a good day. Then

907
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,959
Speaker 9: he's got a bad day with his you know his calf.

908
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 9: Ryan Taylor, the udub Gred he's still a ways away.

909
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 9: And young Stewart's still ways away. So you know, it's

910
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 9: Jackson and it's Alex rolled In and it's young Tino Lopez.

911
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 9: Those are the three guys. I mean, look, I canna

912
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 9: put new who back there if I if I really

913
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:51,240
Speaker 9: needed to. But yeah, we're short, we're short on center backs.

914
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 9: But hopefully hopefully we can just kind of got through

915
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 9: this period fixture congestion and then you know, we'll get

916
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 9: guys back.
