Man, we've got a 21 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: lot of things to get into. UC wise Bowl Game 22 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 2: of portal departures, Brendan Soresby, a twenty two member recruiting class, 23 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: the shootout to get to as well. Who better to 24 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 2: do all that than the man from Bearcatjournal dot com. 25 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 2: That would be Chad Brendle. 26 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 3: How are you? I'm doing well, gentlemen. How are you 27 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 3: on this delightful, freezing cold Thursday evening? 28 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 2: We are well, and a warm destination would be ideal, 29 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 2: and that will be my segue into the bowl. Explain 30 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 2: the bull paint the bowl picture for us right now 31 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: be our travel guide of potential scenarios and destinations as 32 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: you understand it. 33 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 3: I mean, it's really hard to figure out because Cincinnati 34 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 3: did themselves no favors. But when you look at like 35 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 3: the pecking order of how these are decided, they were 36 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 3: in a place to be pretty high up the pecking order. 37 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 3: Plus you factor in Utah and Arizona and Arizona State 38 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 3: are still connected to pack twelve bowls. It's like wow, 39 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 3: like pop cards at like Alamo, Like there's some some 40 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 3: really good options that were on the table. And then 41 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 3: you finish the way that they finished and they tie 42 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 3: instead of you know, tying for fifth or whatever, they 43 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 3: tie for seventh, and you're with a group of four 44 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 3: teams that Iowa State, Kansas State, Kansas State actually denied 45 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 3: a bowl game, which is so weird with their situation, 46 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 3: but I don't know, like that there's a chance they 47 00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 3: could be picked last in this process. So you went 48 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 3: from hopefully like a really good destination to I don't know. 49 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 3: I mean, it sounds like the most momentum right now. 50 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 3: It is Phoenix for the Rate Bowl, which is really 51 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 3: far away in the day after Christmas, so not a 52 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 3: great travel situation if that's how this thing plays out. 53 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 3: But that's what happens when you don't take care of 54 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 3: your business at the end of the season, is you 55 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 3: lose premium position and you're trying to figure out what 56 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 3: the heck we're going to do. 57 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 4: Next, all right, which then that leads into signing day 58 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 4: and you know, towards the end of the season things 59 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 4: not working out. 60 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:44,839 Speaker 2: Well. 61 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 4: How much did that affect this year's recruiting class and 62 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 4: how's it look? 63 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 3: Didn't really affect anything. They actually did something rocky they 64 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 3: have not been able to do over these past two classes. 65 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 3: They have a really good team in place identifying talent. 66 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, over the past couple of years, 67 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 3: they've lost like nine guys to SEC's SEC and Big 68 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 3: ten schools. Right around signing day this year they held 69 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 3: off a couple of SEC schools for guys. They held 70 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 3: onto their number one commit right down at the wire, 71 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 3: Lance Dawson, who Anderson fans are gonna get to know 72 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 3: tonight because he plays for Avon. That's become a nice 73 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 3: little UC pipeline over the past couple of years. So 74 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 3: actually they were able to do a lot better on 75 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 3: that front than they've done in the past couple of years. Rocky, 76 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 3: So at least the momentum there that you know, hopefully 77 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 3: you're bringing in a lot more talent. 78 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 2: Had any surprises early on among the portal departures. 79 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 3: No guys that haven't worked their way up the roster, 80 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 3: you know, the one Caimani Burns, I think is you 81 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 3: look at that one and you say, how didn't that 82 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 3: one work out? But when Dante Corleone got hurt, the 83 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 3: door was opened for Camanie Burns to really kind of 84 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 3: solidify himself as the next guy in line at defensive tackle. 85 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 3: And he didn't fully take advantage of it, and by 86 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 3: the end of the year he got passed by Isaiah Rodgers. 87 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 3: I think over the last three games he had five snaps, 88 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 3: And when a guy had five snaps over three games 89 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 3: the end of the season, the writing is kind of 90 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 3: on the wall. So nothing that we've seen yet, but 91 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 3: you know, who knows what the next couple weeks are 92 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 3: going to bring. 93 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 2: Brendan Sorosby had a really good season this year. Quarterbacks 94 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 2: in college football are like ace pitchers in baseball. They're 95 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: going to get a lot of money. They're very coveted. 96 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 2: You know the report from Rick Neuheisel yesterday that, according 97 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 2: to him, multiple offers of four million. What's to be 98 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: made of how precarious is the uh the status of 99 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 2: Brendan Sorosby is a UC quarterback going forward? 100 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 3: It's gregarious. I mean that is that is a whole 101 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 3: lot of money. And I just don't know in Cincinnati's situation, 102 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 3: if they're in a place to pay a quarterback that 103 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 3: kind of money, you know, how much of the rest 104 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 3: of your roster? 105 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, are you. 106 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 3: Putting in jeopardy by paying a quarterback that much? So 107 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 3: I don't know, Like I know, you know, they've they've 108 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 3: had two years with Sowresby. Things have been good, but 109 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 3: they have not maybe reached the level that that either 110 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 3: side had desired. So it's going to be very interesting 111 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 3: to see how this plays out, because you're right that 112 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 3: the quarterback position and especially you know, let's not forget 113 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 3: you've still got a decision on potentially playing in the 114 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 3: NFL yep so, NFL Cincinnati or go somewhere that's going 115 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 3: to give you some generational wealth. 116 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, your roster, Yeah, Meanwhile, you've got to replenish you know, 117 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 2: Joe Roy or Dante Corleo, guys like that on your 118 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 2: I mean we're into talking like baseball salaries or NFL 119 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 2: salary caps of can you improve the rest of your 120 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 2: team if you devote you know, thirty million to Kyle Schwarber. 121 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's insane, but that's where we are. 122 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 3: It's insane, and there's no there's no guidelines, there's no 123 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 3: limitations on this thing. It is kind of still the 124 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 3: wild wild left, if you will. And I saw something 125 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 3: today that now they're talking about a twenty percent luxury 126 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 3: tax that could be put into place that would allow 127 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,119 Speaker 3: teams essentially you know what that means. That means teams 128 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 3: can go over the cap and then a lot of 129 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 3: teams with a you know, a load of money de 130 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 3: sent yep. So who knows where this is going? Man, 131 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 3: It's it's kind of disheartening because, yeah, you can you 132 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 3: can see in real time fans losing their love for 133 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 3: college sports. Yep, and that stinks. 134 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 4: I I agree, thanks, Yeah, I said this channel on 135 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 4: my show this week. It's you know, take the college 136 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 4: football playoff and it's like, here we are is the 137 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 4: end of the season. Has been a great season in 138 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 4: the time when it's supposed to be great, and everybody's 139 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 4: dialed in. It's a mess. You got coaches leaving and 140 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 4: no one can figure that out. The college football playoff, 141 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 4: no one can figure that out. It's just a lot 142 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 4: of frustration at a time when we should be really 143 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 4: excited and enjoying this. It's you wonder how long it 144 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 4: can last? 145 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 3: You really do? I mean, there have to be something done, Yep, 146 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 3: I don't know. What Like, I've seen some stuff. I like, 147 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 3: I've seen some stuff that makes me go, you have 148 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 3: don't care about the kids? Well, it's all what's convenient 149 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 3: for the administrators. What's convenient for the coaches? You know, 150 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 3: you're talking about like the perfect example the conferences, they 151 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 3: move this signing day to January twod Okay, the sixteenth 152 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 3: is when or the not signing day, but the portal. 153 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 3: The sixteenth is when that closes. Almost everybody will have 154 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 3: started classes by them, and you have essentially like two 155 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 3: weeks to get enrolled and start school. There's going to 156 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 3: be a bunch of kids that are going to go 157 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 3: in the portal, that are going to take their time, 158 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 3: make an educated decision, and then they're not going to 159 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 3: be able to get into the school that they picked 160 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 3: until June. How is that good for the kids? Yep, 161 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 3: it's good for the coaches, great, But the sport is 162 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 3: not supposed to be about the coaches. But here we are. 163 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 2: Final question directed to tomorrow night the spotlight on the 164 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 2: crossdown shootout. How do you feel about the Bearcats entering 165 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 2: this matchup? 166 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 3: I felt a lot better two weeks ago. This is 167 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 3: a sense of like, here's the problem I have with 168 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 3: Cincinnati right now. This is a new team. We knew that, 169 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 3: we talked about that that was you know, the They're 170 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 3: going to come in and don't expect a lot right 171 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 3: away because it's going to take time to gel. It's 172 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 3: gonna take time to get up the speed. We're twenty 173 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 3: five percent of the way through the season. Does anybody 174 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 3: feel like the curve is going up? No for Cincinnati 175 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 3: right now? Nope, No, And that's the problem because like 176 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 3: you look at. 177 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: At Xavier, their curve is going up steadily improved. 178 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 3: Yep. They had a terrible start. Patina figured some things out, 179 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 3: he changed the lineup, he changed the way they play, 180 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 3: and they're playing better. And I don't know that you 181 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 3: can look at anything that Cincinnati's done outside of that 182 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 3: first half against Louisville that you could realistically say, I 183 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 3: think the arrow is pointing up for these guys, and 184 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 3: that's not a good sign going into a place that 185 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 3: they haven't won. When did you leave South Bend, Lance, Well, 186 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 3: it wasn't that long ago. 187 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 2: I left South Bend in ninety two. It's been since 188 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 2: what two thousand and one since they won at Xavier, correct, two. 189 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 3: Thousand and one, since they've wonted the Sentas Center. And 190 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 3: I've said this multiple times over the past like month 191 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 3: and a half. If they don't win this year at 192 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 3: Centtas center, they're probably never. 193 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 2: Gonna I'm happy.
