1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: The Bengals like ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports station.

2
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: Here we go, Moegger Show, not Moleger. It's the first

3
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 2: day of the NCAA tournament. Mo's never here. I'm always here.

4
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: Thank you for choosing me.

5
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: To be fair. He was on this morning. He was

6
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 3: on this morning.

7
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 2: He's not here for the mo Egger Show though, right right, Okay,

8
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: he gets you know, he got he got his work

9
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: done before the game started, and now we can't watch

10
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: the games.

11
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 3: I think Mode knew something was up and he took

12
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:10,919
Speaker 3: off today.

13
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: I mean sure, but he takes off this day every year.

14
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: This isn't new. He does this every year. That's okay,

15
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: that's okay. Well, we'll get it taken.

16
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 3: Care of, Terry. There are other ways around this. There is.

17
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: I'm working on trying to get it set up in here.

18
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: See if it's just maybe a system thing. But we

19
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: do have a lot to get to. We'll Winners go first, right, tarn,

20
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: Winners go first. So we'll start off with last night

21
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 3: in a thrilling, thrilling game and Dayton.

22
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: That honestly, the first ten minutes I think there was

23
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: twenty five points total score.

24
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 3: Should I pray of you. But Miami got it.

25
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: Going and uh boy did they ever in terms of

26
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 2: how they shot the ball. And look, if you're going

27
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: to win as a team constructed like Miami, they're not

28
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 2: exactly big. They're not even though they rebounded well, they're

29
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: not a big physical, push you around, dominate on the

30
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 2: glass like that. That's not their mL They need to

31
00:02:54,120 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 2: spread it, space it, get out and run and make

32
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 2: you play a style that's not comfortable for a higher

33
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: major team, which is, you know, to be fair, that's

34
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: what SMU is. They had a distinct size advantage. Miami

35
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: was able to take that away from them when SMU

36
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: was on offense for the most part. And if you

37
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: can make sixteen threes, you're going to be in the game.

38
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: And I thought Miami did a really good job spreading

39
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: out SMU with the made threes, and then you get

40
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: them running and jumping, and you get them closing out

41
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: maybe a little too aggressively, and then Miami started with

42
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: the shot fakes and the pull up jumpers and the

43
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: back door cuts because SMU was kind of in panic

44
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: mode that Miami was shooting it so well from the

45
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: three point line. And if you're Travis Steele, that's exactly

46
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: how you want your offense to work, he said. He

47
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: wanted them to shoot before the game, he said, and

48
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: wanted him to shoot forty threes. They shot forty two

49
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 2: forty one sorry, sixteen of forty one, thirty nine percent

50
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: from three. They made eleven more threes than SMU. That's

51
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: thirty one points thirty one point advantage just on three

52
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: pointers made. It's gonna make it really, really difficult for

53
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: the opponent to win. And SMU didn't really get to

54
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: the line fifteen free throws. Miami made fifteen free throws.

55
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: SMU shot fifteen free throws. That's an old Bobby Knight thing.

56
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 2: One of his major coaching philosophies is you want your

57
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 2: team to make or to make more free throws than

58
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: your opponent shoots. And they did that. So as you

59
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 2: only gets five threes, they only make twelve free throws.

60
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 2: You gotta make a lot of twos. If your opponent

61
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: is making sixteen threes, made sixteen threes thirteen two's terarn.

62
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: How many times do you see a team make more

63
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 2: threes than twos in the game, And usually if you

64
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: see it, it's bad news.

65
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 3: Only the Boston Celtics'.

66
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: That's a that's a different animal, a little bit of

67
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: a different animal. But kudos to Miami. They did everything

68
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: they needed to do. Like I said, they hung around

69
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 2: on the glass. It was tied thirty five, thirty five

70
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 2: on the glass. I have had twenty assists on their

71
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: twenty nine made baskets. They made timely buckets. You got

72
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 2: six threes from Ian Elmer, you got four threes from

73
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 2: bram Byers, you got three of them from low skal Jack,

74
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: you got two of them from aamar Atlasson. Excuse me.

75
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: They spread it around. They made you guard everybody, and

76
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 2: when they had a chance, they made the SMU defense pay.

77
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 2: It was impressive to watch, especially that second half su

78
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: they made their run, they took the lead by one.

79
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: The key thing right there was Miami didn't flinch. They

80
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: didn't let it throw them off their game. Okay, no problem,

81
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 2: we got this, and they did eighty nine seventy nine.

82
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: They go on and will face Tennessee tomorrow. Tennessee another big, physical,

83
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: Power Conference team. But if Miami is shooting anything like

84
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 2: they did last night, they're going to be in the game.

85
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 3: And you know who's pretty notorious for losing some head

86
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: scratching early round in CUBLEA tournament games. Tarn his first

87
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 3: name start with R, last name start with a B.

88
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: That's correct, and it's not Rick Brewery. It is Rick Barnes.

89
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: You go back over his history, there have been some

90
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 2: head scratchers in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

91
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 2: We'll see what Miami can make happen there. Onto the

92
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: games today, We've got a couple of games that have

93
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: gone final. TCU sixty six, Ohio State sixty four. TCU

94
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: wins it on a layup with four seconds left. Light

95
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: end your career, Bruth Thorn, What was the last play?

96
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't mind the idea of throwing it

97
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: in and then giving like your point guard or you're

98
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: the guy you want with the ball. Is the guy

99
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: that inbounds it, so he throws it and then the

100
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: guy that catches the pass throws it back. But I

101
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: mean it was like it was like six feet like

102
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: you have to that guy has to get deeper down

103
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: the floor so that the guy throwing it in can

104
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: get a running head start catch the ball. You hat

105
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: four point one seconds left and they got a half

106
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: court heave.

107
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: And it's hard for me to believe that Bruce Dortan

108
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 3: is the fastest guy with the ball.

109
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I get that, like like he was struggling,

110
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: he was, he did not have a good game, Like

111
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: that would be the bigger thing. With four point one seconds,

112
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: you should be able to get a good look fast,

113
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: not fast, Like if you get the ball in cleanly,

114
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 2: you should be able to get a good look. Ohio

115
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: State got the ball in cleanly and never got across

116
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 2: half court. Credit to TCU. I like Jamie Dixon's team.

117
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: They're big, they're physical, they beat you up on the glass,

118
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: they force you to be uncomfortable. I thought Ohio State

119
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 2: a terrible job in the first half handling TCUs pressure,

120
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: but then they started to figure it out in the

121
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: second half. They got up by as many as five

122
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 2: late in that game. Couldn't get stops down the stretch,

123
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: couldn't get buckets down the stretch. Do you think this does?

124
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 2: Does this give you doubts about deebler moving forward?

125
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 3: Tern a little bit. I mean was really high on

126
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 3: the deeble higher to begin with.

127
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: I don't know anybody that was really when it happened.

128
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: Maybe the Ohio State administration, I think they did it

129
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: to keep the team together, which they they managed, but

130
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: this was the payoff a team that had to get

131
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 2: hot over the final two or three weeks to play

132
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 2: themselves off the bubble and then get gets bounced in

133
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: the first game of the first day. Yes, it's not great.

134
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: There's a lot of money on that roster. Do you

135
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: do you do you like this? Tearin now you don't

136
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: have to worry about Ohio State the rest of the way.

137
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: Or does this suck that they played the first game

138
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: of the tournament now they're out?

139
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: I mean no, I mean I didn't have Ohio State

140
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: going for I only had them winning that game. So yeah,

141
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm more come, more care about my bracket than bracket

142
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: loyalty over team loyalty.

143
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 3: I like it.

144
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 4: Uh.

145
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: Nebraska gets their furless hard to believe their first ever

146
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: NCAA tournament win in the history of the school. They

147
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 2: have never accidentally won an NCUBLEA tournament game before today.

148
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: They win seventy six forty six over Troy. In progress

149
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: right now.

150
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: The high Point Panthers and Wisconsin Badgis are.

151
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: Tied with eleven minutes, twelve seconds left to go in

152
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: the game. High Point in Wisconsin tied at fifty eight.

153
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 2: Duke and Sienna one v. Sixteen tied at sixteen with

154
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 2: about twelve minutes to go in the first half. Sienna

155
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: up Tarran Sanna's up nineteen sixteen.

156
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, they ruined the Duke ruined a bet for me.

157
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: I had a bet, a little parlay that they would

158
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: never trail, Ciena would never take the lead. I mean

159
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: Sienna led early, didn't they right? Yeah, I mean like

160
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: right out the jump, Sienna had a little bit of

161
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: an edge. South Florida boy Terran.

162
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: I always get like when I first saw the brackets

163
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 2: come out, but man, that's South Florida Louisville game. Like

164
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 2: that one's a little tricky. And then Mikel Brown was

165
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: announced that he's not gonna play this weekend, and then

166
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 2: that became like the catchy game. Everybody's looking at that one.

167
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: Once that happens, like you know, that game never hits

168
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 2: the game everyone's picking to be like like a an

169
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: upset never hits.

170
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 3: That's why I didn't follow the trend.

171
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: I had to go go back and change it because

172
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 2: I had it Initially it was like, oh, I'm off now,

173
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: I even without Mikel Brown, Louisville's gonna gonna take care

174
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: of business there. They are up seventy to fifty six.

175
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 3: And it's not like they have like they've been with

176
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 3: that him for three weeks now.

177
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's been on and off without him, and they're

178
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 2: much better with him. He's I'm not gonna be a

179
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: lottery pick, but I'd be able to beat South Florida

180
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: without him.

181
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are.

182
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 2: And then uh McNeice and Vanderbilt just underway. That one

183
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: tied at two. Uh, we're supposed to be doing counterprogramming.

184
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 2: We're gonna kind of have to do counter programming here,

185
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 2: Tarn because we can't watch the basketball games.

186
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 3: You heard that right. You just have an hour free preview.

187
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 3: I mean an hour isn't gonna do me any good.

188
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 3: I need a three hour free preview. I can't help

189
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 3: you there. Blame the company's cable pack service.

190
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 2: I'm trying, like I said, I'm trying to figure it

191
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: out in here. We'll see if it works or not.

192
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 2: We've got Klay s Noden coming up at three point

193
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 2: thirty talk some reds. We are one week from opening day.

194
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 2: One week from opening day makes some sense of keeping

195
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 2: burns Louder and Williamson as the Reds have decided to do,

196
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 2: talking about getting a u Haaneo Suarez back, lots of

197
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 2: Reds topics to get to today. And then I've got

198
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: a very simple question on the Bengals. When you look

199
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 2: at this Bengals defense and you look at the roster construction,

200
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 2: is it better now than it was when the season ended?

201
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 2: Because I think you can argue that you like the

202
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: additions that they made, that you think those three editions

203
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: will make the defense better. But I think it's also

204
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: fair to say when you consider how little depth there

205
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: is now, when you consider how bad things look at

206
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 2: a couple different positions once you get past the ones

207
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 2: and twos. Like I asked this of Austin and Tony,

208
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: name me one depth piece Tyson Anderson leaving for Denver.

209
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 2: You've lost Cam Taylor Britt, You've lost Joseph Sai. Like,

210
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: name me one guy on the periphery that you feel

211
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: is going to be able to make an impact on

212
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 2: this Bengals defense. I don't think you can. I don't

213
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: think there is one. And that is terrifying in the

214
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: NFL when you're trying to get a team through seventeen weeks.

215
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: One injury and the whole house of cards can fall.

216
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 2: With the way the Bengals are currently constructed. That's terrifying

217
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: coming out of free agency and going into the draft.

218
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: So we'll get to all that. Moore stick around, Maybe

219
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: have us on in the background iHeartRadio app while you're

220
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 2: watching some games, and we'll keep you updated. Wisconsin a

221
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 2: little spurt, Tarn sixty five point fifty eight, Wisconsin now

245
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: far into the game as he would have liked. Two innings,

246

Speaker 6: Forest Avenue between Wilson and Burnett Avenue. Keep in mind

256
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,520

Speaker 8: That was me?

263
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,959
Speaker 3: Yeah? So good.

264
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 2: I mean we've all been there, right, crush on your

265
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 2: teacher when you're a youngster.

266
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 3: We've all been there. Those were the days.

267
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,719
Speaker 2: Those are the days, Klay Snowden, just baseball, Clay, How

268
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 2: the heck are you?

269
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 9: Man?

270
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 10: If I was doing any better, i'd be you.

271
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 3: Let's not get carried away. I don't know if you could.

272
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 3: I don't know if you could get to that good.

273
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 11: Clay.

274
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 2: We are we're one week from opening day, one week

275
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 2: from opening day. How are you feeling about this Red's roster?

276
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 2: Do you think it's set? Is there any moves in

277
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: terms of up and down the roster?

278
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 11: Like?

279
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 3: Or are we are we past that point?

280
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 2: Have guys pretty much solidified where they're at in the

281
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 2: pecking order and now there's just announcements to be made.

282
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 10: Yeah, I kind of think that's where we're at.

283
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 12: There's you know, a bench battle potentially Nathaniel Lowe and

284
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 12: trying to figure out, you know, JJ Bladay and where

285
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 12: he fits in and things of that nature.

286
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 10: But for the most part, I think it's set.

287
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 12: And I'm feeling a little nervous about the amount of

288
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 12: small injuries popping up with these pitchers.

289
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna be honest, Clay, I'm nervous about the

290
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 3: pitching staff in general.

291
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 2: Like the injuries. I haven't seen the like that end

292
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 2: of spring. Okay, things are starting to click for some

293
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 2: of these guys. I haven't really felt that.

294
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 8: Like.

295
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 2: I think the offense is in position to be better

296
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 2: this year, but man, the pitching is supposed to be

297
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 2: the bedrock of this thing, and I do not feel

298
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 2: great as we're a week out from opening day on

299
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 2: the pitching staff, starters and to a lesser extent but

300
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 2: still the bullpen.

301
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 12: Yeah, the starters having these, like I said, these small

302
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 12: injuries popping up and going with six starters out of

303
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 12: the gate and.

304
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 10: All of that just indicates to me that something doesn't

305
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 10: feel right.

306
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 12: I may not be able to pinpoint in or anything,

307
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 12: but something feels a little off. And we knew that

308
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 12: coming into the season with so many pitchers coming off

309
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 12: of injury and managing their innings, who will be ready

310
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 12: to go five six innings consistently? There's just a lot

311
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 12: of unknown right now, and we're probably about a month

312
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 12: from really knowing the answers all of those questions.

313
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: Does the Hunter Green injury just magnify all of that?

314
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 2: Because you're looking at June, July, August before, like who knows,

315
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: before we see Hunter Green and now you wow, high

316
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 2: Point connects from three they are tied with Wisconsin with

317
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: two and a half minutes to go. Does it just

318
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 2: magnify the fact that now Hunter Green's out for the

319
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 2: foreseeable future, that all these other things are happening as well.

320
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 11: Yeah?

321
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean you lose your ace and now you

322
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 12: start to have, you know, injuries popping up a little

323
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 12: bit here and there.

324
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 10: It just is, it's kind of how it works.

325
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 12: Right Like last year, I thought we had, you know,

326
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 12: for the most part, pretty good health out of the rotation.

327
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 12: Of course, hunter Green missed some time, but considering the

328
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 12: injury pass it could have been a lot worse. And

329
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 12: we go into this year, Oh, we have all these starters,

330
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 12: should they trade from the rotation and blah blah blah,

331
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 12: And now we're looking at it and it's oh, Brady

332
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 12: Singer has a blister, and you know we have injuries

333
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 12: to Hunter Green and Andrey Abbit doesn't look phenomenal in

334
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 12: spring and next thing, you know, It's funny how quickly

335
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 12: a narrative can change.

336
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: How does this the outfield, just the entire outfield picture

337
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 2: look to you? And while it feels like it should,

338
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 2: at least at this point be an upgrade over the

339
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 2: years past, do you feel like it's a considerable upgrade

340
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 2: from what we've seen.

341
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 12: It's funny because I came into the into spring training

342
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 12: thinking right field's lockdown, center field's lockdown. Let's see who

343
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 12: wins left and the players the bank competitors were left

344
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 12: Will Benson and JJ Blade I've both played really, really well.

345
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 12: Yet I still feel the exact same about the outfield

346
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 12: because I'm not so sure. You know, Noel Vi Marte

347
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 12: in a home run the other day and he's kind

348
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 12: of had up and down spring, but at the end

349
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 12: of the day, like I don't have that feeling of,

350
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 12: oh my gosh, this looks so much better to me.

351
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 12: It's still one of those deals where I just need

352
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 12: to see it in actual baseball games before I can

353
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 12: believe it. Too much with with Blade and Benson. However,

354
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 12: the way they've looked you sprinkle in the way that

355
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 12: rehyes Hines has looked and Dane Meyer's like, I do

356
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 12: think that there's enough pieces that.

357
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 10: Something will work.

358
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 12: I don't know who exactly, but they have, you know,

359
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 12: five six guys who have all looked pretty good in

360
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 12: the spring and all you really need it's probably one.

361
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 10: Or two of those guys to hit, and then you

362
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 10: have TJ. Friedel and Noel V.

363
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 9: Marte.

364
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 12: So I think that the option is not exactly selected yet,

365
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 12: but all of the options are playing pretty well.

366
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 2: Does that give you also more confidence in their depth

367
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 2: and that you know, we're not going to be in

368
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 2: a position where you're watching a bunch of four A

369
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 2: guys gets shuffled back and forth between Cincinnati and the

370
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 2: starting roles throughout the season like we've seen for the

371
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 2: past my whole life.

372
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 12: And that's the thing, Like these players who are highlighting,

373
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 12: who have done well in fifteen spring training games for

374
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 12: the same ones that have proven who they are over

375
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 12: two or three years. Yeah, so it's kind of hard

376
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 12: to like completely buy in. It's one of those deals

377
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 12: where it's like, Okay, great, that's awesome. I still need

378
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 12: to see it like it's better than doing poorly in

379
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 12: spring training. But we have a much larger sample size

380
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 12: of all of these players that tell a different story

381
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 12: than we've seen in the spring. That does not mean

382
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 12: that they can't improve or they won't be better, But

383
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 12: I'm just a little hesitant to get ahead of my

384
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 12: skis with these players that we have seen for long

385
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 12: stretches be mediocre or a fringe rosterbral player.

386
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: Have we inserted, and I asked you this before I'm

387
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 2: ask you again a couple of weeks ago, have we

388
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: inserted Matt McClain into that leader in the clubhouse for MVP?

389
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 10: Yet it definitely feels that way.

390
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 12: It is so funny how quickly the roller coaster has

391
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 12: gone on him. His electric start to his rookie year,

392
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 12: to last year being one of the worst hitters in baseball,

393
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 12: to the spring training MVP.

394
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 10: Everyone loves him again.

395
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 12: He is so crucial to the lineup. He's going to

396
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 12: be batting second or if he earns that throughout the year,

397
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 12: that means he's playing extremely well. We see more of

398
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 12: last year. We could have a big problem on our hands.

399
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 12: I just think his play is so incredibly crucial to

400
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 12: not only the team as a whole, but in terms

401
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 12: of lineup construction and finding somebody who fits into that

402
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 12: two spot while allowing other players behind him to drive

403
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 12: him in.

404
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 10: So I love what I've seen. I don't think it's

405
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 10: just stats, but kind.

406
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 12: Of the way he looks, the way the swing looks,

407
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 12: He's so much more comfortable. So I'd be lying if

408
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 12: I said I wasn't buying into the rebound season.

409
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 2: How much of it is. I know his rookie year,

410
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 2: that swing was outstanding. It was short, it was compact,

411
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 2: it was right to the ball, good control, balance like

412
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: it just looked exactly like you'd want a two hit

413
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 2: or to hit. And then I'm sure a lot of

414
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 2: it was the injury, but last year it didn't. He

415
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 2: didn't even remotely resemble that guy from two years ago.

416
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,479
Speaker 2: When you've watched him so far this spring, does it

417
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 2: look like he is back to that point of quick

418
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 2: to the ball, not you know, not wasted motion, not

419
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 2: getting caught chasing, like the balance is back? Is that

420
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 2: kind of what you've seen?

421
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 12: Yeah, And I see a guy who also just looks healthy.

422
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 12: He's putting together much better swings. Than we saw it

423
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 12: last season. And I do think there was a snowball

424
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 12: effect last year where it kind of got to the

425
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 12: mental side of things and it was just such a

426
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 12: deep hole to dig out of. This year, I mean,

427
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 12: we saw him homer to right center field. We rarely

428
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 12: saw him go there last season. I just think he

429
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 12: has a lot more confidence, and he's much healthier now,

430
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 12: a full season removed from the injury. And we hear

431
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 12: so many players talk about that being crucial to getting

432
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 12: back to where they were is being a full year

433
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 12: removed from from a shoulder injury. So I think anyone

434
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 12: who's buying into him there's reason. It's not just some

435
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 12: flashy spring training stats that are covered up by bad pitching.

436
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 12: Like he actually looks like the real deal.

437
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 3: South Stewart.

438
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: We haven't talked a lot about him this spring, which

439
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 2: is interesting considering how big of a role he's expected

440
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 2: to have on this thing. Tell me, talk me through

441
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 2: the spring south Stewart's having.

442
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 12: I think, you know, from everything I've heard from like

443
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 12: the clubhouse side of things, like everyone loves the guys.

444
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 10: He's just electric.

445
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 12: He's a fun personality, and I think that the Reds

446
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 12: kind of need someone like that. You know, they need

447
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 12: someone to pair with Ellie in terms of kind of

448
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 12: a not a goofball, but but somebody with some energy,

449
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 12: with some mockxy to him, and he can back it

450
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 12: up with his bat we saw last year this spring

451
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 12: is three home runs, twelve hits, three thirty three average,

452
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 12: Like he's playing really well. I just think he's kind

453
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 12: of getting shadowed by some of the different storylines going

454
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 12: on in spring training. But I think he's gonna be

455
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 12: a middle of the order bat who the Reds are

456
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 12: going to absolutely rely on, and so far, so good through.

457
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 3: Spring High point in the league.

458
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 10: Clay, is this basketball we're talking about?

459
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 3: Clay? Do you know what today is? I do?

460
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 9: Ched.

461
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 12: I hate to tell you I'm not a bracket filler

462
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,239
Speaker 12: out or much of a basketball person myself, but I

463
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 12: understand that it is going on.

464
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 2: Twelve seed High Point, eighty three, five seed Wisconsin eighty two,

465
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 2: eleven point two seconds left.

466
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 12: Clay, all right, I think Wisconsin's still going to pull

467
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 12: it out.

468
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 2: It's Wisconsin ball. Eleven point two seconds left. They're gonna

469
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 2: need to hit a game winner here?

470
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 3: Uh they will?

471
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: Are there any potential position players surprises when when they

472
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: break camp and they had back to Cincinnati or do

473
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: we know what it looks like?

474
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 12: I think so you know the Nathaniel Loves situation. He

475
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 12: isn't opt out tomorrow. I believe in his contract, so

476
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 12: if we had, I've been working all day, so I

477
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 12: don't know if I've missed any news that came across already.

478
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 12: But that's the one domino I think that could fall.

479
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 2: Do you think do you think they can keep him

480
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,479
Speaker 2: around or do you think he takes a big spring

481
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 2: and tries to to do something.

482
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 12: I don't think he would. Yeah, I think that there

483
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 12: will be opportunities out there for him. There were last

484
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 12: year when he was pretty down, So I do think

485
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 12: if he decides to opt out, he would not report

486
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 12: to Louisville.

487
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 3: Or anything like that.

488
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 2: Uh, nothing today efficiently from the Reds. The last thing

489
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 2: was last night saying Louis May was optioned one point

490
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 2: six seconds left Clay Wisconsin missed high point to the

491
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 2: line to add to their one point lead and to

492
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 2: potentially send the second Big Ten team home in three games.

493
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 10: What is high points?

494
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 3: Mascot Panthers, the Panthers.

495
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 10: No Panthers, Let's go. Karen's a huge Panthers fan.

496
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 2: He told me he's a big Panthers guy. For sure, Yeah,

497
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 2: for sure. All right, Clay, I think you've got us

498
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: pretty much up to speed. Are you going to Opening Day?

499
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 8: I am not. I am not.

500
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 12: I'm having a baby later this year, which means I

501
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 12: have to save up my PTO time for for that.

502
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 3: Like you personally or somebody.

503
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 2: Like well, maybe I'm back here obviously on opening Day

504
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 2: because I have to work all Cincinnati holidays. So maybe

505
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 2: we'll catch up on Opening Day before first pitch and

506
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 2: we can get a quick look at the game.

507
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:06,880

533
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 3: If you were choosing me. We've got an upset. High

534
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 3: Point eighty.

535
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 2: Three, Wisconsin.

536
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 3: Eighty two. What did I tell you?

537
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 2: If these upsets are going to happen, They're going to

538
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 2: happen because the mid major got hot, and boy did

539
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 2: high Point get hot. They shot fifteen of forty from three,

540
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 2: multiple multiple clutch threes down the stretch. Wisconsin got up

541
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 2: by as much as eight in the final five minutes.

542
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 2: High Point wouldn't go away, made a great defensive stand,

543
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:58,479
Speaker 2: get a bucket and hang on for the one point win.

544
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 2: A Wisconsin team I thought because of their guards. We

545
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 2: talk about it a lot guard played Dominates in March.

546
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: Nick Boyd had twenty seven. John Blackwell had twenty two

547
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 2: for the Badgers, but it wasn't enough. We have had

548
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 2: four games go final, tearan four games go final. The

549
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 2: Big Ten wins one with Nebraska getting their first NCAA

550
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 2: Tournament victory in school history. Ohio State falls to TCU,

551
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 2: and now Wisconsin falls to high Point. The other game

552
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 2: that did go final, South Florida made it interesting against Louisville,

553
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 2: but Louisville hangs on eighty three to seventy nine. South

554
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 2: Florida with fifty two points in the second half, but

555
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 2: unfortunately for the Bulls and Brian Hodgson in the first

556
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 2: half was just too much to overcome. Now we watch

557
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 2: on Hodgson, there's been some rumors connecting him with the

558
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,479
Speaker 2: Villanova job or not Villanova, excuse me, the Providence job.

559
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 2: So now if you're if you're South Florida. You wait,

560
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:24,479
Speaker 2: he's already turned down Syracuse. There is some connection people

561
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 2: are making to that Providence job for Brian Hodgson. We'll

562
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 2: see if that moves quick now that USF has exited.

563
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 2: How about this one, we're at halftime Sienna forty three

564
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 2: thirty two over Duke. Do you know who Sienna's coach is?

565
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 10: Tarren?

566
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,240
Speaker 3: I forget his first name of McNamara.

567
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 2: Jerry McNamara of sarahcuse fame. Yep, you have to wonder.

568
00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 2: You hate to say this, but you have to wonder.

569
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 2: Does this is this maybe enough to get him up

570
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 2: in for the Syracuse job.

571
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna sneeze. I think so.

572
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 2: I mean, they haven't had a lot of success getting

573
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 2: people interested for that job, right. Hodgen said No, doesn't

574
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 2: seem like Jared Calhoun's interested. Josh Shirt said no.

575
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,479
Speaker 3: They ask Carmelo Anthony, who's there at every game?

576
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 2: I mean they could maybe maybe that's you hire McNamara

577
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 2: and then Carmelo is like his right hand man, his

578
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 2: bench assistant.

579
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 3: Then what's the hakeem wark up to?

580
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just get the band back together. I'll give

581
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 2: gmc a lot of credit. There's been a lot of

582
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 2: people that have really been in his corner as he's

583
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 2: gotten into the coaching world. He's done a great job

584
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 2: with Sienna and they're up nine, they're up eleven, excuse

585
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 2: me at halftime over a Duke team that doesn't look

586
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 2: all that interested. But we'll see if John Shire is

587
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 2: able to calm them down at the half. This is

588
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 2: I hate this, though, Terran. We have reached a point

589
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 2: there's no there's no games being played. How do you

590
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 2: let that happen if you're the NCAA.

591
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: Well, Duke should get dude's been a halftime for a while.

592
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: This should be they should be about back. But but

593
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: we've got no action right now.

594
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 2: North Dakota State Michigan State kicks off at your tips

595
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,959
Speaker 2: off at four twenty seven and also at the same

596
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 2: time Hawaii and Arkansas. If you haven't seen Arkansas, I

597
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 2: would highly suggest giving them a watch in this four

598
00:38:55,280 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 2: to twenty seven time slot against Hawaii on TBS. Look,

599
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 2: Cam Buoser is gonna win National Player of the Year

600
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 2: for my money. Over the past month, maybe maybe six weeks, whatever,

601
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 2: Darius Acoff at Arkansas has been the most dynamic player

602
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 2: in the country. He has been electric for Arkansas. Maybe

603
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 2: a chance for cal To to get back on the

604
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:45,439
Speaker 2: board with a run in this tournament and he had

605
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 2: a cuff Acuff has scored in double digits every game

606
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 2: this season tern in the SEC Tournament, thirty twenty four,

607
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 2: thirty seven, down the Stretch in the SEC twenty eight, seventeen,

609
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 2: twenty two, twenty one, thirty one, seventeen twenty. Like, this

610
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 2: kid is incredible. So if you're looking for like, is

611

Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, Okay. I just want to

624
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 9: let you I just want to let you guys know

625
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 9: that if you haven't heard this story yet. It has

626
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 9: nothing to do with basketball. I'll get to basketball. But

627
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 9: Jake Brailey's child got a clean bill of health about

628
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:17,359
Speaker 9: three days ago. Awesome and good to go.

629
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 3: Good, that's good news, great to hear.

630
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 9: Which means Jake will wake this year for Tampa and

631
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 9: the Reds will go Damn. What guy should have kept him?

632
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, Unfortunately, it's one of those like he he had

633
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 2: a lot of time to get it figured out here

634
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati. Sometimes sometimes for guys, it's better to maybe

635
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,280
Speaker 2: get that change of scenery, and he had a lockdown

636
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 2: on it.

637
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 9: Yeah, for sure, on his shoulders for two years. You're

638
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 9: not going to perform up to what he normally could.

639
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 2: Probably plump No, I agree, I agree on thousand, but

640
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes the change of scenery is better for everybody.

641
00:41:59,600 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 11: Yep.

642
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 2: I wish him nothing but the best. Though he was

643
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 2: he was a guy you could always count on when

644
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 2: he was in there. He was going to give you,

645
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 2: you know, one hundred percent.

646
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, he really did quick baseball. Then, uh, opening day

647
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 9: we got crew Garrett Crochet who led the American League

648
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 9: in strikeouts, and he'll be facing hey u Haanio Suarez,

649
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 9: who's never faced him yet.

650
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 3: That's wild.

651
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 9: Get ready, eu Haano, because this boy is gonna slam you.

652
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 9: You better be ready.

653
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 2: I wouldn't sell Eugenio Suarez short. He does strike out

654
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 2: a lot, but the man can hit.

655
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, But typically when a hitter hasn't faced a pitcher

656
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 9: advantage pitcher.

657
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 3: Typically we'll see one game, one game, one game sample size.

658
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 9: So and sometimes rookie pictures always have the advantage because

659
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 9: the guys haven't seen him, you know what I'm saying.

660
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 2: Sometimes though, for a guy like Suarez, sometimes all it

661
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 2: takes is one at bat, one swing, right, Like you

662
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 2: can be zero for three going into the eighth inning,

663
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 2: and if if you can just get that one swing,

664
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 2: you had a good day.

665
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 11: Yeah.

666
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 9: I'm just one of the jacks up as everybody else's.

667
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 9: I mean, he's a great guy and a fun guy

668
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 9: and all that, and I hope he does great, But

669
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 9: I don't think that's gonna solve their offensive problem.

670
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 2: I don't think it solves all of them mic, but

671
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 2: it's certainly better than what they would have run out

672
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 2: there had they not signed him.

673
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 9: And I don't put anything into spring training because the

674
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:48,280
Speaker 9: key is training right training. But my Dodgers are eighteen

675
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 9: and eight. Joe Hay had an awesome performance, and they

676
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 9: got a young left hander named Kyle Hurt that's going

677
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 9: to be in the starting rotation. And watch out up

678
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 9: through the organization. They're great at developing pitchers. Okay, I'll

679
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 9: move on to uh, your boy Keegan tick Pen to

680
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 9: beat Illinois. Yo, Keegan, that ain't happening.

681
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 3: I'm with you on that one now.

682
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 2: That is as Keegan admitted, that is a little bit

683
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 2: biased because he has you know, he loves Penn's best player,

684
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 2: TJ Power, So I don't think that's a uh a

685
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 2: rational pick. That's an I love this guy that plays

686
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 2: for Penn. Illinois's offense is incredible. Like that, I have

687
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 2: Illinois in the final four.

688
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 9: Mike Motos too, Modos too. Yep, not even a final four,

689
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 9: Austin said. He said the teams he doesn't want to

690
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 9: win or get in the final four. He's named two

691
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 9: or three teams. One of them was U c l A.

692
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 9: I wish I could have called and said, Austin, but

693
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 9: what is your problem? Would you just think that anything

694
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 9: east of the Rock and West of the Rock he

695
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 9: sucks a problem with Mick.

696
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 2: Crona, Yeah, Austin hates you, Seela, well because of the

697
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 2: connection to Mick. So he hates you see because of

698
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 2: their connection to Mick.

699
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 3: He's a hater. It's fine, I would he's a hater,

700
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 3: do you I.

701
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,760
Speaker 9: Was happy for the bill today, you know, because Austin

702
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 9: when I was young, When I was you know, younger

703
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 9: in the seventies and the eighties and even in part

704
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 9: of the nineties, Louisville was a perennial powerhouse with Denny

705
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 9: Crumb and then Rick coming in, and then after Rick left,

706
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,919
Speaker 9: it just been in the tank, haven't they.

707
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,760
Speaker 3: Mike, you want to hear a crazy number.

708
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 11: Yeah, I do.

709
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 9: It's probably gonna bum me out because I was a

710
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 9: big Louisville fan.

711
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 3: Go ahead, take it.

712
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 2: I'll let you take a guess. How many days do

713
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 2: you think it's been since Louisville's last NCAA Tournament win?

714
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 8: How many days or days?

715
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 3: Days?

716
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 2: Over one thousand, three thousand, two hundred and eighty nine

717
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 2: days between wins in the NCAA tournament for Louisville. God,

718
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,919
Speaker 2: three thousand, two hundred and eighty nine days.

719
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 9: How does that happen? Chip? Now you know the inn

720
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 9: idiosyncrasies of these organizations and how they work.

721
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 11: And all that.

722
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 9: How does a perennial powerhouse like Louisville, how does that happen?

723
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 2: Well, Chris Mack didn't work out for whatever reason that

724
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 2: that just didn't didn't go Louisville's way. And then you

725
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 2: hired Kenny Payne, who was one of the worst hires

726
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 2: in the last century.

727
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 9: I wonder, why what do you know about him? Because

728
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 9: I thought he might be a because they said he

729
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 9: was a great recruiter.

730
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 2: A great recruiter, was not a great coach did not

731
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 2: have them. I mean they got if you go back

732
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 2: and look, man, there were some games in the Big

733
00:46:56,080 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 2: in the ACC where they just got smoked. He just

734
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 2: didn't have it as a head coach.

735
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 9: And so there are definitely differences. So it's a whole package.

736
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 9: And you're not just a great recruiter. You've got to

737
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 9: be a great ex's and o's guy plus a great

738
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 9: recruiter plus plus plus, right.

739
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean if you look at it, like you know,

740
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 2: it's not as evident in the ACC now as maybe

741
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 2: as it was five seven years ago. But like take

742
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 2: the Big twelve for example, to be good in the

743
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 2: Big twelve, you not only have to have the money.

744
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 2: You only have to have the roster, but then you

745
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 2: have to go out and beat Bill self and Kelvin

746
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 2: Samson and Tommy Lloyd has proven to be a pretty

747
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 2: pretty damn awesome coach, and Grant McCaslin and you know,

748
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 2: like tj Otzelberger at Iowa State and Jamie Dixon has

749
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 2: done a great job for a long time. It's not

750
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 2: easy like that. Wes Miller ran into this, you know.

751
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 2: I know UC fans are very very mad and hate

752
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 2: Wes Miller.

753
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 3: Whatever.

754
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 2: Wes Miller's problem was, he was in that forty to

755
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 2: five fifty range. And if you're in that forty to

756
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 2: fifty range and you can't rise up, you can't elevate

757
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 2: into that top twenty five thirty coaches in America, you're

758
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 2: gonna get your ass kicked in the Big twelve a lot.

759
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, Evan, the proofs in the putting, right. What do

760
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 9: you think about this McNeese State team right there at

761
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 9: halftime with the Vanderbilt.

762
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Vandy probably eventually pulls away. But that's

763
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 2: a team, I mean, that's a good roster put together,

764
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,720
Speaker 2: you know by a guy that I think is maybe

765
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 2: one of the biggest sline balls in the country in

766
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 2: will Wade. But he knows how to coach and he

767
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 2: knows how to build a roster. And you know, now

768
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 2: without him, they've got a good roster in place. They're

769
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 2: they're making it interesting. A guy that I love on

770
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 2: that team, Garway Dwall I don't know if you know

771
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 2: him or not, but started out of Providence, started out

772
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 2: of Providence. He's kind of a defensive stopper. He's a

773
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 2: guy like a high major transfer. That's what they focused on.

774
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 2: We're gonna take guys that are moving down from Power

775
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,760
Speaker 2: four leagues coming down, you know, to get more playing

776
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 2: time or to get more exposure.

777
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 3: And it's worked out for them. They've got high major talent.

778
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 9: You give this Hawaii team any shot against Arkansas. I

779
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,520

784

785
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,200

Speaker 11: So yeah, I want to talk reads a little bit.

853
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 13: I don't know, have we decided on the position battles

854
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 13: have I'm thing or where are we at with that?

855
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 2: I mean, the infield seems pretty set. Stewart at first,

856
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 2: uh McLean at second, Elliott short, Cabrian Hayes at third,

857
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 2: Friedo and center, Marte and right, and then probably a

858
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:20,879
Speaker 2: platoon and left, and then Stevenson and Trevino, a catcher.

859
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:25,919
Speaker 13: A blood day and uh there's another guy out there.

860
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 2: Hind and yeah, I mean Hines has to make the team, right,

861
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 2: I mean, what else are we doing down there.

862
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 11: He doesn't.

863
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 8: He doesn't make the team.

864
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:34,800
Speaker 3: He's got to make the team, right, I would think.

865
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 3: But for some reason, I get the feeling I don't

866
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 3: know if they like him.

867
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:40,879
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't like him either.

868
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if they like him.

869
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,359
Speaker 2: So maybe they start him in Louisville and they they

870
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 2: keep him around, you know, on on the ready. But like,

871
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,800
Speaker 2: I think Benson's gonna make it blood day, I would

872
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 2: I would think makes it. And then your fifth guy,

873
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 2: maybe Myers.

874
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think Myers gives you more. Just he gives

875
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 13: you more, a little more options.

876
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, he can bounce around a little bit more.

877
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, I love that.

878
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 13: But yeah, man, honestly, I really just called to give

Speaker 2: was hanging out with our guy Richard Skinner down at

Speaker 2: going back?

907
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 11: Thanks and every way. I gotta tell you, man, I

908
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 11: love this first day down there. I've done the show

909
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 11: with Low for a long time on this Thursday, and

910
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 11: my favorite thing I don't do this, I wager. Don't

911
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 11: get me wrong, I do wager. But my favorite are

912
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 11: the guys that bet to the first fifteen points. That

913
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 11: place goes great. So like the Tco Ohio State game,

914
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 11: it took both teams forever to get the fifteen and

915
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 11: I think the vast majority of the place probably had

916
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 11: Ohio State to get fifteen. I know the two tables

917
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 11: adjacent to me did. And when Ohio State finally did,

918
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 11: you just thought they just won the national championship. That's

919
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 11: why I love this day. It's such a fun.

920
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 10: Day, it really is.

921
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 11: Everybody's in a good mood, everybody's having a popp or two,

922
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 11: and everybody's got some kind of some kind of reason

923
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 11: to watch those games.

924
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, for me, it just means I get to sit here.

925
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's a good point. But you're making money, so

926
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 11: you're making money without betting money. That's a good thing. Chad,

927
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 11: I like that.

928
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 3: I mean, that's fine, that's fine, but I still would

929
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 3: you know, I wouldn't mind being out and about and

930
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 3: being able to enjoy it once or twice like that.

931
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 3: That's that's the life of a radio film guy, right nights, weekends, Listen.

932
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 11: I know people probably stream at you like they've screamed

933
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:11,879
Speaker 11: at me, like you know this is they don't think

934
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 11: this is a job, Oh it's a job. Well, you

935
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 11: work when times when people don't work, you're working games

936
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 11: that people are watching and having fun at usually, and

937
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 11: so it's work. And you know, I just don't want

938
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 11: to discount that. So when I get a chance to

939
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 11: just watch, it's fun for me because I don't get

940
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 11: a chance to watch very often.

941
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 2: I don't either, And I'm sorry for taking, you know,

942
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes out of your day.

943
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 3: I apologize. You're good, Skinny.

944
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 2: I got a Bengals question that I that's kind of

945
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 2: been eating at me the last couple of days. When

946
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 2: I look at this defense on paper, I know there's

947
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 2: a draft still to come. There's maybe some things that

948
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 2: happen in the you know, the months between now and

949
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 2: the start of the season, where you add a guy here,

950
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 2: you add a guy there. Why do I feel like

951
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if it's better than it was when

952
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 2: the season ended. I like the three guys they've added.

953
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with the three guys they've added,

954
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 2: but they've lost a lot and when I look at it,

955
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 2: there's I can't come up with one depth piece that

956
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 2: I have any belief in on this roster, and I

957
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 2: look at it and go I think they they did

958
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 2: a couple of nice things at the top, but I

959
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 2: still have no idea if this defense is going to

960
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 2: be even top twenty five in the NFL.

961
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 11: No, it's fair. I mean, I will say they did

962
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 11: play better after the Buyer, right, sure, I mean scifically,

963
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 11: they absolutely did. They also didn't play some of the

964
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 11: better offenses that they played in the first half before

965
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 11: the buy But let's just say they took a little

966
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 11: incremental step. That part's fine, But you were charged this

967
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 11: offseason with improving this defense significantly.

968
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 9: Yeah.

969
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 11: Do I believe in boy Mafe's analytics that suggests he's

970
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 11: better than the two sat guy because the pressures you get.

971
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 11: But I don't know that I can believe it. I

972
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 11: don't know that because he's not done. He out of

973
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 11: nine sacks season. Once you hope you reverts to that.

974
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 11: I know you love Brian Cook, and I think Brian

975
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 11: Cook is an upgrade over Geno Stone, but not a

976
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 11: ball hawk. I mean, you know, Stone at least intercepted

977
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 11: some passes. I mean that was the one skill set

978
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 11: he really did have. He he did come up with

979
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 11: some interceptions. Again, I think Brian Cook is a significant

980
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 11: upgrade over him, but that's not Brian Cook's string. Jonathan

981
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 11: Allen has had success in this league in the past.

982
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 11: The past doesn't mean what the president is. He's thirty

983
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 11: one years old. Am I gonna get the same pass

984
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 11: rush jees out of him? So it show me that

985
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 11: they don't believe in Chris Jenkins any longer, because it

986
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 11: feels like they don't believe in Chrishenkin's is any longer

987
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 11: because they signed a guy this position and that's a

988
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 11: former second round pick, and you did nothing to address

989
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 11: linebacker when literally Al Golden told us at the combine

990
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 11: he wanted a veteran linebacker. And I do think that

991
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 11: that's the part of there's a part of me that believes.

992
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 11: I mean, these coaches I think are looking around going,

993
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 11: you know what, I'm tired of just holding my tongue.

994
00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 11: I'm going to say what I want, yeah, and if

995
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 11: don't get it, I'm gonna point the finger at damn.

996
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 11: Whether them is Duke Tobin, whether them is Mike Brown,

997
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 11: Katie Blackburn, Troy Blackburn, Like hey, you know, do you know,

998
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 11: maybe do one of those guys too, And man, no,

999
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 11: we're gonna sruture these contracts this way and you're not

1000
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 11: gonna have as much money to play with and that

1001
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 11: that's on you. You're gonna have to deal with it.

1002
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 11: So yeah, I think it's better, sure, because I think

1003
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 11: it got better in the second half. I think you

1004
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 11: added better pieces. But I can also point the flaws

1005
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 11: for all three of those better pieces. I don't mean to,

1006
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 11: but I can point to those flaws.

1007
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean when I look at Brian Cook, I

1008
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 2: think Brian Cook is is kind of exactly what they

1009
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,919
Speaker 2: needed at safety and that absolutely he doesn't let people

1010
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 2: get over the top. He can come down in the

1011
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 2: box and be physical and he's not he makes tackles.

1012
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 2: He's not gonna hurt you at that position, right, But

1013
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 2: you're right, he's not an interception like, he's not a

1014
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 2: ball hawking make plays on the ball like he never was.

1015
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:58,919
Speaker 2: That boy fe sure like you could you could sell

1016
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 2: me on He's he's close and he's gonna get over

1017
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 2: the hump. But man, they had it felt like they

1018
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 2: had to do so much more, and I just don't

1019
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 2: I don't see it.

1020
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 11: And I'll be honest, he if they'd just added the

1021
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 11: veteran caliber linebacker, I think we'd all felt better about

1022
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 11: all those Like Okay, I see the Mafe upside. I

1023
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 11: see the Johnson Allen passed the Canady bubble up, especially

1024
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 11: if he's in a rotational role with bj Hill, like

1025
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 11: you know, takes the snaps off Vanni's pressure. I see,

1026
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 11: to your point the solidness of Brian Cook making tackles,

1027
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 11: and yeah, you know, I like him to be a

1028
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 11: better ball hawk, sure, but you know what, give me

1029
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 11: solid over ball hawks can't tackle and makes mistakes. I'm

1030
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 11: all fine with that. But it just feels like the

1031
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 11: whiff it linebacker was so bad and you know what,

1032
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 11: maybe it'll be proven on Maybe these two kids just

1033
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 11: needed an off season that they saw their snaps. They

1034
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 11: I think they're both very studious kids. I think they

1035
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 11: both will go to school on all the things they did.

1036
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 11: But are they good enough? And last year they weren't.

1037
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 11: And you know, we shouldn't expect two rookies to be

1038
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 11: good together, maybe not even expect one rookie to be good.

1039
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 11: You just want to make some progress, and I think

1040
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 11: they did make progress, but boy, you are really roll

1041
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 11: of dice and open yourself up to complete criticism of

1042
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 11: you said you had to fix that position group. You

1043
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 11: were charged with fixing that position group. And you know

1044
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 11: what he didn't do. You didn't fix that position group.

1045
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 11: So shame on you. And so their roll of the dice,

1046
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 11: it's a hell of a roll of the dice because

1047
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 11: if it comes up snake guys, whoa boy? I think

1048
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 11: everybody pays the price?

1049
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 3: Am I wrong about the depth?

1050
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 9: Like?

1051
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 3: Is there any right at this point?

1052
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 11: No? I mean it's Rang Burt's and Joe Giles Harrison

1053
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 11: linebacker right now, it's safety. It's nobody because Tyson Anderson

1054
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 11: signed out everywhere and he was they didn't even consider

1055
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 11: him a depth pieces. They wouldn't play him other than

1056
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 11: special teams. It's PJ. Jewels and Dejon Anthony. Okay, sure,

1057
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 11: So there's a part of me that thinks they need

1058
01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 11: to go add that depth before you even go to

1059
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 11: the draft because you're not guaranteed to get killed downs.

1060
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 11: There are some other good second and third round safeties

1061
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 11: I like, but that's just one depth piece. You need

1062
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 11: death pieces. You're starting flat corner right now. As Jalen Davis,

1063
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 11: who never started in this league until down the stretch

1064
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 11: late last year, and he's been in the league a

1065
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 11: long time, and to his credit, he took advantage of

1066
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 11: his opportunity. What I like better? Sure? Would you know

1067
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 11: you don't even really have cornerback. I'll go cornerback four

1068
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 11: because I'll consider the slack corner cornerback three. They don't

1069
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 11: believe much in Josh Newton anymore. They do think they

1070
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:34,919
Speaker 11: found a role for dg Ivy covering tight ends. Okay, great,

1071
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 11: that's fine, But to your point of depth, pieces, I mean,

1072
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 11: even up front now at defensive line, you do have

1073
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 11: free non nose tackles, which seems very odd with Chris Jenkins, VJ.

1074
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 11: Hill and Jonathan Allen at nose tackles.

1075
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 9: TJ.

1076
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,440
Speaker 11: Slaton who wasn't very good. And it's McKinley Jackson who

1077
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 11: wasn't even active half the time because they didn't trust him.

1078
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 11: They do to you and an edge, it's Shamar Stu,

1079
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 11: it's Miles Murphy, it's Boy Mafey and Seed Johnson. I mean,

1080
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 11: that's where we're at with this. So yeah, they they

1081
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 11: need more.

1082
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 3: Reds.

1083
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 2: What do you make of keeping all three of those

1084
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 2: starters to keep essentially six, but you're not going a

1085
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 2: six man rotation, right, I guess there's you're gonna use

1086
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 2: one of them. You're gonna double up in a game with.

1087
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 2: What does this make sense to you?

1088
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 11: Like that?

1089
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 3: You like it?

1090
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 11: It does? I do like that. I like, I don't

1091
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 11: want to call it super reliever because that's not what

1092
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 11: these guys are because I think they're gonna trade off starts,

1093
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 11: especially on the back end of that. But I love

1094
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 11: the super reliever role. Like give me a starter, to

1095
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 11: give me seventy five pitches and give me four and

1096
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 11: a third and then give me super reliever for three

1097
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 11: and two thirds and then give me closer. I like,

1098
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 11: I think those days are good days because like a

1099
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 11: Brandon Williamson, if you start him and the other team

1100
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 11: goes with the right handed hitting lineup because he's a

1101
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 11: lefty and Chase Burns comes in, Okay, now he's facing

1102
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 11: all right's unless they want to use their benches. We know,

1103
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 11: I mean, benches aren't deep anymore. Maybe we've had four

1104
01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:08,000
Speaker 11: position players on a bench anymore. So it's not like

1105
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 11: you can all of a sudden start going off the

1106
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 11: anthy re platoon and then the day when maybe a

1107
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 11: red Lauder starts to Brandon Williams is turning to be

1108
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 11: the second guy. Okay, well you've now got a left

1109
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 11: handed hitting right up with a left hander coming in,

1110
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 11: and I do I like it. I also think they

1111
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 11: understand and they probably do. Hey, you want to keep

1112
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:28,680
Speaker 11: these three guys to some degree happy. That's not the

1113
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 11: end goal. But they all I think earned a spot.

1114
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:33,400
Speaker 11: So do you want to send a Chase Burns down

1115
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 11: and letting the kicked off and go why did you

1116
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 11: do this to me? Or do you just want to say,

1117
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:39,439
Speaker 11: all right, you guys all three earned it. We're gonna

1118
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 11: figure out a way to make this thing work, especially

1119
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 11: in today's day and age, when you're not starting a

1120
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 11: game in pitching seven innings anyway. So let me just

1121
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 11: get you out there for a bit, and I'll get

1122
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 11: my next guy out there for a bit, and we'll

1123
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 11: add a closer, and we've had a three bull But

1124
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 11: I mean that cant these games anymore? Or five bullpen

1125
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 11: arm days. Maybe that's a day where you're a two bullpen,

1126
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 11: or maybe the star goes five beit innings and Chase

1127
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 11: Burns comes in and gets you four great in and

1128
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:01,919
Speaker 11: you've pitched two guys in a day and he didn't

1129
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 11: bring your bullpen up at all. So I do like it.

1130
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 11: I know it's wonky, I know it's unconventional, and man,

1131
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 11: I'm a old school where guys would start thirty five

1132
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:12,760
Speaker 11: games and seventeen of them were complete games. Those days

1133
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 11: are in the past, and I fully am aware of

1134
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 11: all of those things, but I do kind of I

1135
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 11: kind of like this. I think it's different, it's interesting,

1136
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 11: and I think you're saying, you know what, those are

1137
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 11: our best arms. We're gonna make a way to make

1138
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,400
Speaker 11: our best arms work. And I'm all for that.

1139
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 2: How far into a game have you gone without substituting.

1140
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:39,920
Speaker 11: Me? Yeah, probably no more than I'm a big like

1141
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 11: And again, I'm a JD head coach. So I got

1142
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 11: six minute quarters and I'm trying to play a bunch

1143
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 11: of dudes. I'm usually about three maximum four minutes in

1144
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 11: and I'm going.

1145
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 2: Five for five yearsually, uh, thirty four minutes and thirteen

1146
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 2: seconds so far, and Jerry McNamara has not subbed.

1147
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:02,800
Speaker 11: I was wondering. I knew where that question was going

1148
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 11: because I was watching that game before. I just left

1149
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:06,600
Speaker 11: the rail to drive home, and I pull over to

1150
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 11: talk to you, and I knew he didn't sub in

1151
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 11: the first half, and I'm like, man, is he gonna

1152
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 11: be able to get through this? What is the score now?

1153
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 11: Because it's it's been.

1154
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 3: Crazy sixty one sixty Siena.

1155
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 11: Wow, they're still I think Duke pulls this off too.

1156
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:23,560
Speaker 11: They've gotten it back to a manageable number. But I

1157
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 11: thought Wisconsin got it back to a manageable Yeah, twice

1158
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 11: today and they couldn't pull it off.

1159
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 3: If you're Syracuse, do you now have to hire Gmac?

1160
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 11: You have to, I so you'll know this better than

1161
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 11: I do, because you follow it way better than I do.

1162
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 11: Did they offer somebody else the job that turned it down?

1163
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,800
Speaker 11: Because I'm thinking Jerry mcnamary should be the guy.

1164
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 3: They've had two people turn it down.

1165
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 11: Did you know they are off the top of your hand?

1166
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 3: I want to people on the spot. Josh Shirtz from

1167
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:50,439
Speaker 3: Saint Louis Well.

1168
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,040
Speaker 11: But Josh Shurtz also got a bag of cash to

1169
01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 11: stay at Saint Louis Well.

1170
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 2: But but he turned Syracuse one of him. He was

1171
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 2: the first one, and then Brian Hodgson at South Florida

1172
01:07:59,200 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 2: turned him down.

1173
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 11: Yes, Yeah, that's the one I like. I like him

1174
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 11: a lot. Actually yeah, no, yeah, I didn't know that

1175
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 11: was the one I was thinking of. I I knew

1176
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 11: it was another guy. Yeah. I don't know how you

1177
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 11: not even depending on what Jerry McMahon done today. The

1178
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:12,920
Speaker 11: fact that he took See into the tournament should be enough, right,

1179
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 11: I mean, and I get that sometimes you're like only

1180
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 11: the alum root don't go the alum taking a team

1181
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:23,080
Speaker 11: of the tournament in a wounded league. That's enough for me.

1182
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 3: And he's about he's he's five minutes and forty seven

1183
01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 3: seconds from knocking off the number one overall seed as

1184
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:30,799
Speaker 3: a sixteen from the third.

1185
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:32,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, for being the third team as the sixteen. So

1186
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 11: he'd ever do this? I don't think you're gonna do it.

1187
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:36,599
Speaker 11: I do agree with that, but you're close enough.

1188
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 9: Uh.

1189
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 2: Speaking of hiring and alumni, is Jared Calhoun the only

1190
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:43,680
Speaker 2: thing that makes sense for Cincinnati.

1191
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 11: It's the only thing that makes sense. But it's the

1192
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 11: thing that does make sense. I mean, uh, it's funny.

1193
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:52,519
Speaker 11: We are I love our city, man. I grew up

1194
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 11: in New Orleanentucky's you did, but were greater Cincinnati's all

1195
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 11: of us. It is funny, like Terry Francona played for

1196
01:08:58,560 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 11: the Red so now he's to manage of the Reds.

1197
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:02,719
Speaker 11: Zak Taylor coached at you See and was in Cincinnati

1198
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 11: for a year, and now he's the coach of the Bengals,

1199
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 11: and it just feels like we always have ties and

1200
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:09,960
Speaker 11: it's fine. I think that's a good thing. I don't

1201
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:13,640
Speaker 11: think it's an awful thing. I don't think anybody that says, oh,

1202
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:15,720
Speaker 11: it's a tide to the Hugs Era, it's really not.

1203
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 11: Because he doesn't play games and coaching the way Huggs

1204
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 11: Huggs did. It's totally different. But yes, it makes absolute sense.

1205
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 11: It would be nice, obviously. I mean, if you want

1206
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 11: him super La, it wouldn't be nicety nice. He wins

1207
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 11: the first game and you're like, Okay, that's our guy.

1208
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 11: He's won an NCAA tournament game. He's gonna go up

1209
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:35,000
Speaker 11: against the one seed and probably lose, and that that's fine.

1210
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 10: We're all good with that.

1211
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 11: So I think it would be nice to be won

1212
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 11: that one game. He's plenty of time to get him hired,

1213
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 11: plenty of time to get him you know, going into

1214
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 11: transfer portal, all those things. It's backed up a little

1215
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,799
Speaker 11: bit so. Yeah, I just don't. I don't see another avenue,

1216
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 11: to be honest with you, and it feels like that's

1217
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:51,320
Speaker 11: literally what they're waiting for, are you. I think you'd

1218
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:52,680
Speaker 11: heard more names by now.

1219
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1220
01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 2: Plus he turned down Kansas State and then it wasn't

1221
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 2: involved with Syracuse and Providence like it just everything is

1222
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 2: adding up to that, skinny.

1223
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:02,519
Speaker 3: I gotta go.

1224
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:06,560
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Yeah, I appreciate it, sir. Enjoy the

1225
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:08,760
Speaker 2: rest of the day and we'll talk soon.

1226
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 11: Thanks, man, take a ship.

1227
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:16,479
Speaker 2: All right, that's it four hour number two. Let's go

1228
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:21,919
Speaker 2: to break duke up two at the final media timeout

1229
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:24,960
Speaker 2: of the day, and maybe Terran I might have some

1230
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:26,280
Speaker 2: breaking news when we come back.

1231
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:28,960

Speaker 2: the University of Cincinnati have reached a settlement agreement, and

1252
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:17,960

1253
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 3: Statement from John Cunningham.

1254
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:23,120
Speaker 2: I want to thank Wes Miller for all his hard

1255
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 2: work and the passion he brought to his job every

1256
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 2: single day. We are excited about the next chapter of

1257
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:34,479
Speaker 2: Cincinnati basketball. The separation terms have not been released. They

1258
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 2: were not disclosed. A national search underway for the next

1259
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:45,959
Speaker 2: head coach of the Bearcats. According to my sources, the

1260
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:51,479
Speaker 2: settlement will basically involve wes Miller getting one years salary

1261
01:12:51,520 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 2: three point one million dollar lump sum. The contract, if

1262
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 2: you had followed along, was the buyout was nine point

1263
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:08,760
Speaker 2: nine million dollars if they fired wes Miller before April first,

1264
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 2: four point six million dollars if they fired wes Miller after.

1265
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 3: April first. And instead, they have reached a settlement three

1266
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:26,919
Speaker 3: point one million in a lump sum, and both sides

1267
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,960
Speaker 3: are now free to go about their business. If you

1268
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 3: have followed along, some pretty.

1269
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:36,840
Speaker 2: Strong rumors out there connecting west Miller to the unc

1270
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 2: Charlotte job. That job is came open a couple days ago,

1271
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:46,120
Speaker 2: so there is some smoke there between west Miller and

1272
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 2: Charlotte and Cincinnati obviously heavily connected so far to Jared Calhoun,

1273
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 2: the head coach at Utah State. Utah State plays Villa

1274
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 2: Nova tomorrow and if they win that game, highly likely

1275
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:15,040
Speaker 2: they would play Arizona on Sunday. Utah State and Villanova

1276
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:21,160
Speaker 2: for to ten tomorrow on T and T. Hopefully our

1277
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:28,680
Speaker 2: service is back here so we can watch basketball games.

1278
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:36,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, so that is the latest.

1279
01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:39,720
Speaker 2: Wes Miller officially out as the head coach at the

1280
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 2: university of Cincinnati settlement reached. I would consider that settlement

1281
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:50,560
Speaker 2: pretty favorable for the University of Cincinnati and John Cunningham.

1282
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:58,040
Speaker 2: Duke survives Sienna seventy one sixty five. Just I've never

1283
01:14:58,080 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 2: seen it, Teraren have you ever seen a team not

1284
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:09,439
Speaker 2: sub no five guys forty minutes and really Duke only

1285
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:10,080
Speaker 2: played seven.

1286
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:14,600
Speaker 1: Now, I'm not gonna say I sit here like I

1287
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:16,880
Speaker 1: watched a lot of CNA basketball, But how deep is

1288
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 1: this rotation?

1289
01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 3: Do you know? I really?

1290
01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess we could pull up what their

1291
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 2: statistics look like.

1292
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you had to give them them guys. Are

1293
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 1: you you were up as what was what fifteen?

1294
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you didn't like get a couple, get one

1295
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:37,680
Speaker 2: or two of them because they were gassed at the end.

1296
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 2: They only had six their five starters played obviously the

1297
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 2: vast majority.

1298
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:50,560
Speaker 3: And then they had one guy.

1299
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:54,920
Speaker 2: At twenty two minutes, one at seventeen, at two at seventeen,

1300
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:56,160
Speaker 2: and another at thirteen.

1301
01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:59,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could have found some times, especially between the

1302
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:00,800
Speaker 3: media brick timehouse two.

1303
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:03,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, get a guy out right, you know there's a

1304
01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:08,200
Speaker 2: stoppage at you know, eight thirty, you get the media

1305
01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:10,879
Speaker 2: timeout at eight, you get him out for those thirty seconds,

1306
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:12,680
Speaker 2: get him a little breather. You put him back in

1307
01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:16,720
Speaker 2: after the media timeout, or you let them you know,

1308
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:19,640
Speaker 2: you start the segment after the media timeout and you

1309
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 2: just send the guy to the scorers table to give

1310
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 2: him a little bit of an extra breather. I respect it, though,

1311
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 2: Jerry McNamara said, these are my five guys, Like, we

1312
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:36,839
Speaker 2: got one shot to beat Duke. I'm going down swinging

1313
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:43,600
Speaker 2: with my best players. Just didn't have enough in the

1314
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 2: tank at the end. And honestly, Duke wins this by six.

1315
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:50,599
Speaker 2: The second half was thirty nine to twenty two. They

1316
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 2: scored twenty two points in the second half, So Jerry

1317
01:16:54,000 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 2: McNamara is gonna take some heat for that, without question,

1318
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:14,679
Speaker 2: without question, crazy crazy forty minutes, five starters. I don't

1319
01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 2: know that I'll ever see that again. What do you

1320
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:20,799
Speaker 2: think I think you'll ever see it again?

1321
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 3: Nope, because every coach has.

1322
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:28,800
Speaker 1: Like I said, even if you know those are your

1323
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:31,439
Speaker 1: five best guys, you have to sub at least a

1324
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:32,400
Speaker 1: few of them.

1325
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 2: At least you know, one quick break a half, Like,

1326
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 2: maybe you play them all thirty seven thirty eight minutes,

1327
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:44,959
Speaker 2: your best guy maybe gets forty I just can't imagine

1328
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,719
Speaker 2: leaving everybody out there for all forty minutes.

1329
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:52,920
Speaker 3: That's wild.

1330
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt looking like they're starting to pull away. They're up

1331
01:17:58,479 --> 01:18:01,760
Speaker 2: sixty eight to sixty on on McNeice three minutes, forty

1332
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 2: nine seconds left in that one. Arkansas up forty four

1333
01:18:07,400 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 2: to thirty four on Hawaii that one three minutes.

1334
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:14,800
Speaker 1: Six was that fifty to thirty six Arkansas fifty to

1335
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:15,400
Speaker 1: thirty six.

1336
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:21,320
Speaker 2: This is not refresh It refreshed fifty to thirty six

1337
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:25,080
Speaker 2: Arkansas with one twenty five left in the half. And

1338
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 2: UH Michigan State up big on North Dakota State forty

1339
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:35,840
Speaker 2: three to twenty five a minute and thirty three left

1340
01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:38,639
Speaker 2: in the half on that one. Other games that went

1341
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:43,599
Speaker 2: on today, TCU sixty six sixty four over Ohio State.

1342
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:46,400
Speaker 2: Ohio State got down big, like this has kind of

1343
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:49,280
Speaker 2: been Deebler's thing, right, They get down big, they storm back.

1344
01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:55,599
Speaker 2: They got up by five and felt like they had

1345
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:58,759
Speaker 2: taken control of the game. But TCU responds down the stretch.

1346
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:05,040
Speaker 2: They win sixty six to sixty four, and the Xavier

1347
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 2: Edwards bucket with four seconds left the difference. Louisville eighty

1348
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 2: three seventy nine over South Florida. Louisville was up big,

1349
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:17,479
Speaker 2: and South Florida stormed back in the final six minutes

1350
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:23,519
Speaker 2: or so made it close. But it's been thirty two

1351
01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:30,839
Speaker 2: hundred days since Louisville won an NCAA tournament game. That's insane.

1352
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:35,400
Speaker 2: That's a lot of days. The big upset so far

1353
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:39,000
Speaker 2: of the day high point eighty three, eighty two over Wisconsin,

1354
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:47,559
Speaker 2: and then Nebraska gets their first ever NCAA tournament wins

1355
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 2: seventy six to forty seven over Troy. That's what that

1356
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:59,839
Speaker 2: looks like today. None of the all of the afternoon

1357
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:06,120
Speaker 2: games have at least tipped. So tonight, if you're preparing

1358
01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:09,839
Speaker 2: your viewing schedule, I think that this is an upset.

1359
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:13,160
Speaker 2: Watch right here, straight out of the gate at six

1360
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:16,479
Speaker 2: point fifty Terran VCU North Carolina, you would see a

1361
01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:18,959
Speaker 2: two and a half point favorite. They are playing without

1362
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:23,000
Speaker 2: Caleb Wilson, who is there by far their best player.

1363
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 3: Lottery pick VCU.

1364
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:30,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know this or not Terran.

1365
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 2: You know VCU's coaches, No, remember Phil Martelly.

1366
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:38,799
Speaker 3: Thanks sounds familiar.

1367
01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:42,439
Speaker 2: Coached in Philly. I think he was at Penn for

1368
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 2: a long time. It was a long long time college

1369
01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:51,879
Speaker 2: basketball coach. He his son is the coach at VCU.

1370
01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 2: He's a name that if you see, for some way

1371
01:20:56,360 --> 01:21:01,320
Speaker 2: reason whatever doesn't get Jared Calhoun. Phil Martelly's a guy

1372
01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:04,280
Speaker 2: I would keep an eye on, and he could raise

1373
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 2: his stock substantially tonight with a win over North Carolina.

1374
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:13,479
Speaker 2: Howard and Michigan at seven ten. An interesting one. I

1375
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:16,559
Speaker 2: don't know if Xavier fans made the trip to Portland, Oregon,

1376
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 2: but Texas and BYU at seven twenty five, Texas A

1377
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:24,320
Speaker 2: and Texas A and M and Saint Mary's at seven

1378
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:29,560
Speaker 2: thirty five, and then the night slate Penn at Illinois

1379
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:32,720
Speaker 2: at nine twenty five, Saint Louis and Georgia. That one

1380
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:37,839
Speaker 2: should be really really entertaining. You might get both teams

1381
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:40,000
Speaker 2: in the upper eighties nineties in that one. They love

1382
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:43,559
Speaker 2: to get up and down the floor. If you're looking

1383
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:49,120
Speaker 2: for maybe a little sprinkle, sprinkled, drip drip terran. That

1384
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 2: one the overs high. It's at one sixty seven and

1385
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:56,760
Speaker 2: a half. I feel like that could comfortably go over.

1386
01:21:56,920 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 2: Both those teams offensively are really good. Kannesas State and

1387
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:11,200
Speaker 2: Gonzaga at ten. And finally, the last one Idaho and Houston.

1388
01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:16,920
Speaker 1: At ten ten, I got a trivia question for you

1389
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:22,000
Speaker 1: from my friend Mike. Okay, where did Rick Patino get

1390
01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:23,599
Speaker 1: his first coaching job.

1391
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:27,080
Speaker 3: At Boston University?

1392
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:27,600
Speaker 12: Be you?

1393
01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:30,320
Speaker 10: Is that right?

1394
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 1: That's where it became a head coach? Where do you

1395
01:22:34,479 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 1: get his start?

1396
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:46,280
Speaker 3: Why do I want to say, Army? That's not right?

1397
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:46,599
Speaker 8: Is it?

1398
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:46,840
Speaker 11: No?

1399
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:48,679
Speaker 3: Think that's what coach K got his. That is where

1400
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:49,479
Speaker 3: coach K got his.

1401
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:54,439
Speaker 2: But for some reason I thought Patino like, also, I

1402
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:58,640
Speaker 2: don't know that's a good one. Hawaii, Huh. I do

1403
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:01,600
Speaker 2: know that story. I do know that story because I

1404
01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:05,880
Speaker 2: think it wasn't it. I think Jim Beheim helped him

1405
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:09,040
Speaker 2: get that job. I think I have heard that story before.

1406
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 2: There's worse places to get your first job, oh for sure,

1407
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:19,320
Speaker 2: Although I'd have to imagine like those first jobs, like

1408
01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:21,679
Speaker 2: literally knowing a bunch of people that have gotten started

1409
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:24,719
Speaker 2: in this business here, and like those guys are sleeping

1410
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:27,719
Speaker 2: on a couch, so they're they're not making any money.

1411
01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:32,320
Speaker 2: They're sleeping on somebody's couch and living off you know,

1412
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:38,920
Speaker 2: wonderbread and Ramen noodles. But I mean, if you got

1413
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 2: to live off wonderbread and ramen noodles like Hawaii is

1414
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:45,639
Speaker 2: not a bad place to do so, not a bad

1415
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 2: place to do so at all.

1416
01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:50,000
Speaker 3: So there you go.

1417
01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:56,160
Speaker 2: Wes Miller out officially at the University of Cincinnati. Wes

1418
01:23:56,240 --> 01:24:01,720
Speaker 2: Miller free to explore other opportunities and Cincinnati full go

1419
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:06,880
Speaker 2: for a coaching search that seems pointed in one direction.

1420
01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 2: Do you want to talk about that Reds Bengals the

1421
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 2: NCAA tournament?

1422
01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:14,760
Speaker 3: What's your setup look like? What are you what are

1423
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 3: you getting into today? Hopefully better than ours can?

1424
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 2: Can we make sure we get this fix for tomorrow

1425
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:25,639
Speaker 2: somehow someway. I know you got that kind of juice, right,

1426
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:27,439
Speaker 2: I'll see what I can do.

1427
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:30,559
Speaker 3: Okay. By the way, remember we are on later tomorrow.

1428
01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:32,639
Speaker 2: We are on a little bit. We don't know when

1429
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:37,280
Speaker 2: the the the if you're looking for like some stability,

1430
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:41,680
Speaker 2: the nice thing is there's not a game before Kentucky.

1431
01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 2: So they will start at twelve fifteen, probably in somewhere

1432
01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:49,640
Speaker 2: in the twelve fifteen twelve thirty range, and then what

1433
01:24:49,760 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 2: an hour postgame show after that? And then us Yes,

1434
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:59,559
Speaker 2: so two fifteen, two thirty, probably around three thirty, maybe

1435
01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:00,599
Speaker 2: a little bit earlier.

1436
01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 3: When you and I go a lot.

1437
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:10,320
Speaker 2: Got to give credit to John Conningham, got to give

1438
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:11,759
Speaker 2: a lot of credit to John Conningham.

1439
01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:15,840
Speaker 3: Right here, three point one million.

1440
01:25:16,600 --> 01:25:19,280
Speaker 2: Is a whole heck of a lot less than everybody

1441
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:26,599
Speaker 2: was figuring the Cincinnati buyout would be, even if they

1442
01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:32,120
Speaker 2: got the April first number. That helps with taking care

1443
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:35,599
Speaker 2: of the buyout for the incoming coach and making sure

1444
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:37,400
Speaker 2: you keep as much money as you can in the

1481
01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:08,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, Chad, great to talk to you. Uh kind of

1482
01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:10,320
Speaker 8: had a bad year health fire.

1483
01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:11,719
Speaker 3: I hope you're doing better.

1484
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:15,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, yes, sir, I'm doing okay.

1485
01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:16,680
Speaker 3: My dad was asking about you.

1486
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:21,240
Speaker 8: He's a great guy. Are you telling my about him?

1487
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 8: Doug Cumbon said, h okay.

1488
01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:25,639
Speaker 2: He's probably listening right now. He's probably in his car

1489
01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 2: driving around listening right now.

1490
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:29,479
Speaker 8: Hi, Dad, Well, I hope maybe get down on a

1491
01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:32,559
Speaker 8: scene next year see what the new regime looks like.

1492
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:36,080
Speaker 8: But anyway, quick comment on West Miller. You know who

1493
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:39,160
Speaker 8: really remind me of Chad And I've been watching EC

1494
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:44,120
Speaker 8: basketball since my grandpa is taking me the games when

1495
01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:49,120
Speaker 8: Bottom and Soccer and Gates were playing and we're pretty good,

1496
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:53,639
Speaker 8: and but Tony Yates reminded me a lot of West Miller.

1497
01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:57,400
Speaker 2: I would strongly disagree that. I mean, Tony Yates bottomed

1498
01:28:57,400 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 2: out like that. They were bad Old West at them.

1499
01:29:01,160 --> 01:29:04,800
Speaker 2: He didn't Michigan, you know that's bottom of that. Hid

1500
01:29:05,160 --> 01:29:07,920
Speaker 2: Bob Huggins lost the bad teams. Mc crodin lost the

1501
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:10,599
Speaker 2: bad teams. They finished nine to nine in the Big Twelve.

1502
01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:13,120
Speaker 2: They they didn't bottom out Tony, they didn't.

1503
01:29:13,320 --> 01:29:13,799
Speaker 3: They didn't.

1504
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:18,439
Speaker 8: My comparison, though, Tony Yates recruited a lot of great

1505
01:29:18,439 --> 01:29:21,360
Speaker 8: players and he was a super nice guy. Everybody said

1506
01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:26,320
Speaker 8: the media, he's friendly with them. He he recruited Cedrick

1507
01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:33,880
Speaker 8: Brotus Robinson, Roger mcclindon, Uh, Keith Starks, Uh, you know,

1508
01:29:34,439 --> 01:29:37,719
Speaker 8: Lewis Banks, he got a lot of good players, Andre Tate.

1509
01:29:38,360 --> 01:29:43,040
Speaker 8: But I've just come to a series that nice guys

1510
01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:45,479
Speaker 8: uh just don't really work out.

1511
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:46,120
Speaker 3: You see.

1512
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:49,160
Speaker 8: You need a guy with an edge like Nick, like

1513
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:53,360
Speaker 8: Bob that were really tough guys. But yeah, I just

1514
01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:56,000
Speaker 8: wish West to miss. And that's that's the comparison I'm

1515
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:58,720
Speaker 8: making is they could recruit really well but just spit

1516
01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:00,240
Speaker 8: them all together. Yeah.

1517
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:03,240
Speaker 2: I just I just think it's different because I do

1518
01:30:03,280 --> 01:30:05,679
Speaker 2: think like with Yates, I think he was never close.

1519
01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:08,439
Speaker 2: I think Wes was close. He just never got over

1520
01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:11,360
Speaker 2: the hump. And unfortunately for Wes, like this is a

1521
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:13,800
Speaker 2: place you have to get over the hump. Hanging in

1522
01:30:13,840 --> 01:30:17,840
Speaker 2: that that that tier just outside the tournament for five

1523
01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:21,679
Speaker 2: years isn't gonna work at Cincinnati And that's ultimately why

1524
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:23,080
Speaker 2: they're looking for a head coach right now.

1525
01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 8: Yeah. Well it's uh, it's it's bad. But my reason

1526
01:30:30,479 --> 01:30:34,800
Speaker 8: I called in is, uh, what is your definition of

1527
01:30:34,880 --> 01:30:41,960
Speaker 8: all in compared to uh, maybe Duke Tobin's and Kadie

1528
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:46,160
Speaker 8: Blackburn's definitions of all in? Because mine is. Yeah, they

1529
01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:49,040
Speaker 8: made a little bit of a splash in the first

1530
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:53,599
Speaker 8: round there, but uh, we're still setting here and a

1531
01:30:53,600 --> 01:30:55,680
Speaker 8: lot of good guys who went off the board. But

1532
01:30:55,760 --> 01:31:00,160
Speaker 8: right now said our linebackers around the NFL are are

1533
01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:04,000
Speaker 8: considered it as Larry Curly and both do.

1534
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:06,040
Speaker 2: They they don't even have mo. It doesn't feel like

1535
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:07,360
Speaker 2: they just got Larry and Curly.

1536
01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:16,880
Speaker 3: They can't. My problem. My problem is, Tony, when you

1537
01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 3: look at it, like all into me will be what

1538
01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:23,360
Speaker 3: they did that that year that they went out and

1539
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:26,680
Speaker 3: they got Kapa and Keris and they got help on

1540
01:31:26,720 --> 01:31:29,920
Speaker 3: the defensive line, and they got help at corner, and

1541
01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:33,320
Speaker 3: they got help in safety and you know, like that

1542
01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:36,439
Speaker 3: was we have we have needs here, here, here, here,

1543
01:31:36,520 --> 01:31:38,800
Speaker 3: and here, and we're gonna go out and address all

1544
01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:41,559
Speaker 3: those needs. And that was the only year they did it.

1545
01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:44,920
Speaker 3: And guess what resulted in a Super Bowl in an

1546
01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:50,160
Speaker 3: AFC championship. You you've seen it work, you've seen the blueprint.

1547
01:31:50,479 --> 01:31:52,720
Speaker 3: What why do they not believe it?

1548
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:55,240
Speaker 2: What why do they not look at that and go,

1549
01:31:55,360 --> 01:31:59,439
Speaker 2: you know what, we did that and it worked and

1550
01:31:59,439 --> 01:32:02,120
Speaker 2: look at where it got us because it gave us

1551
01:32:02,200 --> 01:32:04,679
Speaker 2: depth and it gave us options and it gave us

1552
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:08,360
Speaker 2: guys across the entire roster that we're gonna be able

1553
01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:12,040
Speaker 2: to impact football games. And when you look at it now,

1554
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:16,479
Speaker 2: I feel okay about the offensive line, like I think

1555
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:19,280
Speaker 2: the offensive line's okay. I feel good about I feel

1556
01:32:19,280 --> 01:32:21,920
Speaker 2: great about quarterback. I feel great about receiver. I think

1557
01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:25,360
Speaker 2: they're good at running back, but when you go to

1558
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:29,080
Speaker 2: the other side, I don't think they're particularly good at

1559
01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:34,320
Speaker 2: defensive line, inside or outside. I think their two starting

1560
01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:38,960
Speaker 2: corners are promising, but there's nothing behind them. They're bad

1561
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:42,439
Speaker 2: at linebacker. I think they're better at safety because Brian

1562
01:32:42,479 --> 01:32:48,559
Speaker 2: Cooks obviously significantly better than Geno Stone. But eh, now

1563
01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:52,400
Speaker 2: you let Tyson Anderson go. Do I feel great about

1564
01:32:52,400 --> 01:32:55,200
Speaker 2: special teams? I feel you know, I feel like they've

1565
01:32:55,240 --> 01:33:00,559
Speaker 2: got a good, good kicker, a pretty good punter. But

1566
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:02,639
Speaker 2: when I look at the Bengals Tony, I don't look

1567
01:33:02,640 --> 01:33:06,200
Speaker 2: at that and go that's a that's a play a

1568
01:33:06,240 --> 01:33:08,760
Speaker 2: Super Bowl contender, that's one of the best teams in

1569
01:33:08,800 --> 01:33:09,240
Speaker 2: the AFC.

1570
01:33:09,400 --> 01:33:10,160
Speaker 3: I don't see that.

1571
01:33:11,720 --> 01:33:11,920
Speaker 11: Right.

1572
01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:13,040
Speaker 3: They don't either.

1573
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:16,559
Speaker 8: Kansas City's doing this off season, you know what I'm saying.

1574
01:33:16,600 --> 01:33:18,880
Speaker 8: I mean, you're right about the big and wall Lang's line.

1575
01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:21,519
Speaker 8: By the end of the year last year they were okay,

1576
01:33:21,840 --> 01:33:24,639
Speaker 8: well they resigned to those guys and then they add

1577
01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:27,680
Speaker 8: another death piece behind any of them. No, they just

1578
01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:30,160
Speaker 8: don't signed a couple of guys and one of them

1579
01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:32,960
Speaker 8: is getting pretty old. You know, are are left tackle

1580
01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:37,920
Speaker 8: and then you're right the linebacker. They've done absolutely nothing

1581
01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:42,240
Speaker 8: the secondary. You know, I'm you know, we get to

1582
01:33:42,280 --> 01:33:45,160
Speaker 8: the draft. Okay, now, I'm won't put you to the

1583
01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:47,600
Speaker 8: GM chief. What do you take first? Said, do you

1584
01:33:47,640 --> 01:33:50,439
Speaker 8: take a secondary guy or guy out front? Because I

1585
01:33:50,439 --> 01:33:53,799
Speaker 8: don't see Bay being available. Kansas City's going to gobble

1586
01:33:53,880 --> 01:33:57,000
Speaker 8: him up. And I guess you could get better at

1587
01:33:57,040 --> 01:34:00,960
Speaker 8: safety or with you know, maybe I own slips down

1588
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:04,880
Speaker 8: there and the defensive back from MILLERSU is can't miss guy.

1589
01:34:05,640 --> 01:34:07,760
Speaker 8: And I like to fell out of Maturier other day

1590
01:34:07,800 --> 01:34:11,040
Speaker 8: when I heard a who's the guy in the Massachusetts

1591
01:34:11,080 --> 01:34:13,519
Speaker 8: guys being a writer saying they all have taken off

1592
01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:19,200
Speaker 8: intive tackle drafts of position strength. You missed the playoffs

1593
01:34:19,400 --> 01:34:23,240
Speaker 8: two years in a row. You have no strength. You

1594
01:34:23,240 --> 01:34:25,840
Speaker 8: you get the best player to fit a need.

1595
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:28,479
Speaker 2: And uh, well, that's the problem with what they did

1596
01:34:28,479 --> 01:34:33,240
Speaker 2: in free agency because if you if you fix linebacker

1597
01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:37,559
Speaker 2: in free agency and maybe you get an extra corner

1598
01:34:37,600 --> 01:34:40,360
Speaker 2: that's going to be a depth piece, like then then

1599
01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:43,280
Speaker 2: you can go into the draft at ten and say,

1600
01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:46,479
Speaker 2: let's see how this thing falls, and we're in a

1601
01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:50,160
Speaker 2: position where we can we can take whatever we think

1602
01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:53,800
Speaker 2: helps us the most long term. They've kind of taken

1603
01:34:53,840 --> 01:34:56,160
Speaker 2: that away from themselves. I mean, Tony, if I was

1604
01:34:56,160 --> 01:34:58,160
Speaker 2: in charge, and they're not going to do it because

1605
01:34:58,160 --> 01:35:01,439
Speaker 2: they never do it depending on how the draft falls.

1606
01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:03,439
Speaker 3: I'd like to get up to eight and get ahead

1607
01:35:03,439 --> 01:35:06,479
Speaker 3: of Kansas City and take the guy that they want.

1608
01:35:07,479 --> 01:35:09,479
Speaker 9: Yeah, and who do they have?

1609
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:09,760
Speaker 3: Though?

1610
01:35:09,800 --> 01:35:12,920
Speaker 8: It would interesting by said they could give afford to

1611
01:35:12,920 --> 01:35:16,040
Speaker 8: give up to move up, Well, you just give up

1612
01:35:16,120 --> 01:35:20,639
Speaker 8: draft picks, right, But you know, Mike, you know they won't.

1613
01:35:22,040 --> 01:35:24,080
Speaker 2: That's that's the other thing that drives me nuts. They're

1614
01:35:24,160 --> 01:35:27,000
Speaker 2: terrible at drafting. Why do you value draft picks so highly?

1615
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:31,479
Speaker 2: You stink at it. They should be doing what the

1616
01:35:31,560 --> 01:35:34,920
Speaker 2: Rams do. The Rams every year trade their picks and

1617
01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:40,120
Speaker 2: get good players.

1618
01:35:39,479 --> 01:35:47,839
Speaker 8: It baffles and Mike and we get Duke or Bengals

1619
01:35:47,920 --> 01:35:53,720
Speaker 8: keep Duke and we get damned great. Talking to you,

1620
01:35:53,840 --> 01:35:56,080
Speaker 8: Shad and like say kill Dad, hide a great talk

1621
01:35:56,120 --> 01:35:57,080
Speaker 8: to you's been a long time.

1622
01:35:57,320 --> 01:36:01,240
Speaker 3: Well appreciate it, Tony, thanks for calling man. All right,

1637
01:36:56,880 --> 01:37:01,760
Speaker 3: We go to episode so like the U. Since that

1638
01:37:01,880 --> 01:37:03,519
Speaker 3: He's ESPN fifteen thirty.

1639
01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:10,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, only two games live right now. Vanderbilt did hold

1640
01:37:10,920 --> 01:37:14,160
Speaker 2: on to beat McNeice seventy eight to sixty eight.

1641
01:37:15,680 --> 01:37:16,760
Speaker 3: So Vandy moves on.

1642
01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:24,320
Speaker 2: A couple of not close games going on right now

1643
01:37:24,880 --> 01:37:30,160
Speaker 2: Arkansas up eighteen fifty eight to forty on Hawaii and

1644
01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:34,920
Speaker 2: Michigan State up fifty one to twenty nine on North

1645
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:38,519
Speaker 2: Dakota State. Anything you like in this night segment here

1646
01:37:38,640 --> 01:37:43,360
Speaker 2: tarn any possible upsets you see. I like VCU North Carolina.

1647
01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:45,840
Speaker 1: I might be crazy, probably the one, but I do

1648
01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:49,439
Speaker 1: think North Carolina does pull it out. Oh probably. I'm

1649
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:59,080
Speaker 1: leaning Texas BYU BYU is interesting because sorry I am.

1650
01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:03,080
Speaker 1: I think the bracket breaks out well if they can

1651
01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:06,519
Speaker 1: win this game. I think there's a favorable path for

1652
01:38:06,600 --> 01:38:11,280
Speaker 1: them Sweet sixteen Elite eight, but they just don't defend.

1653
01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:16,080
Speaker 1: The sneezes are killing me right now, Terry. They just

1654
01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:18,880
Speaker 1: don't defend well enough for me to be confident about anything.

1655
01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:25,320
Speaker 1: Like de Bands is awesome, but if you can't get

1656
01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:29,840
Speaker 1: stops in the tournament, it's hard to pick you to

1657
01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:31,479
Speaker 1: go on a deep run.

1658
01:38:32,160 --> 01:38:34,240
Speaker 2: Sat Mary's Texas, A and M. I think is gonna

1659
01:38:34,280 --> 01:38:37,120
Speaker 2: be a really good game. Like I said, the game

1660
01:38:37,160 --> 01:38:39,400
Speaker 2: I've got kind of circled to watch tonight is Saint

1661
01:38:39,479 --> 01:38:43,200
Speaker 2: Louis and Georgia. I think that one's I think that

1662
01:38:43,240 --> 01:38:48,639
Speaker 2: you're like, we're gonna be counting points the one sixty

1663
01:38:48,960 --> 01:38:55,240
Speaker 2: seven point five over under feels low to me. I

1664
01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:57,519
Speaker 2: know that says both teams essentially are gonna score in

1665
01:38:57,520 --> 01:38:58,040
Speaker 2: the eighties.

1666
01:38:59,320 --> 01:39:01,439
Speaker 3: I know that's a like.

1667
01:39:01,680 --> 01:39:03,800
Speaker 2: I just think both of those teams can really put

1668
01:39:03,840 --> 01:39:07,920
Speaker 2: the ball in the basket. If you're looking for like

1669
01:39:08,280 --> 01:39:15,559
Speaker 2: a gambling one that I think is interesting. Twenty four

1670
01:39:15,600 --> 01:39:18,040
Speaker 2: and a half is a lot for Houston to be given.

1671
01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:20,479
Speaker 2: Idaho and Houston. It's one of those things, right, Like

1672
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:24,519
Speaker 2: there have been times this year where they're crisp and

1673
01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:30,400
Speaker 2: they just beat the crap out of people. But they're young,

1674
01:39:31,120 --> 01:39:32,920
Speaker 2: and this is really for a lot of those guys

1675
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:36,600
Speaker 2: their first trip into the tournament. I wouldn't be surprised

1676
01:39:36,640 --> 01:39:40,640
Speaker 2: if Idaho gets beat by eighteen, but just kind of

1677
01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:53,360
Speaker 2: hangs around with a young Houston team.

1678
01:39:48,479 --> 01:39:49,360
Speaker 3: The Bengals stuff.

1679
01:39:51,439 --> 01:39:54,840
Speaker 2: Look, I just think with this front office, with this

1680
01:39:54,880 --> 01:39:59,080
Speaker 2: ownership group, we are once again at a point we're

1681
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:04,320
Speaker 2: the benefit of the doubt gone where we have heard

1682
01:40:04,360 --> 01:40:07,160
Speaker 2: things like we're all in, we're always all in, and

1683
01:40:07,200 --> 01:40:10,600
Speaker 2: then your actions don't match your words. And if you

1684
01:40:10,720 --> 01:40:13,640
Speaker 2: want people to believe you, if you want people to

1685
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:17,439
Speaker 2: be on your side, the easiest way to do that

1686
01:40:19,760 --> 01:40:22,880
Speaker 2: is for your actions to match your words, to back

1687
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:28,880
Speaker 2: up what you say. We're all in okay, Well, you

1688
01:40:28,960 --> 01:40:32,080
Speaker 2: got two guys on the first day, and then you

1689
01:40:32,160 --> 01:40:35,240
Speaker 2: got a thirty one year old defensive tackle on what

1690
01:40:35,280 --> 01:40:39,160
Speaker 2: was that like, the fifth day? Yep, And you didn't

1691
01:40:39,160 --> 01:40:41,640
Speaker 2: get a linebacker, and you didn't get any depth in

1692
01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:46,120
Speaker 2: your secondary. You didn't add a swing offensive lineman, a

1693
01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:56,439
Speaker 2: guy to give your offensive line some depth. So you

1694
01:40:56,479 --> 01:41:00,880
Speaker 2: were given a chance to get this based on board.

1695
01:41:00,880 --> 01:41:07,760
Speaker 2: And guess what, guys, Joe Burrow's pushing thirty. This is

1696
01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:12,120
Speaker 2: not a guy that came out of college young. It's

1697
01:41:12,160 --> 01:41:16,240
Speaker 2: a guy that red shirted, spent four years, five years

1698
01:41:16,240 --> 01:41:22,720
Speaker 2: in college. He's going into a seventh year with the Bengals.

1699
01:41:24,439 --> 01:41:27,519
Speaker 2: You have had a window with one of the great

1700
01:41:27,600 --> 01:41:29,120
Speaker 2: quarterbacks of his generation.

1701
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:35,920
Speaker 3: You made a Super Bowl. But guess what five years ago,

1702
01:41:38,640 --> 01:41:42,000
Speaker 3: you made an AFC Championship. Four years ago. The last

1703
01:41:42,000 --> 01:41:49,080
Speaker 3: three years you've missed the playoffs. The fan base is

1704
01:41:49,120 --> 01:41:52,920
Speaker 3: looking and they're saying, if not now with Joe Burrow win,

1705
01:41:57,280 --> 01:41:59,559
Speaker 3: the Chiefs get They get a little leeway, right, they

1706
01:41:59,600 --> 01:42:01,320
Speaker 3: get a little rope. You know why they get rope?

1707
01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:07,160
Speaker 3: They won three championships Hey, we had a down year,

1708
01:42:07,280 --> 01:42:13,480
Speaker 3: that's okay. You know, you trust that we're gonna be aggressive.

1709
01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:16,280
Speaker 3: We're actually gonna be all in and we're gonna get

1710
01:42:16,280 --> 01:42:18,400
Speaker 3: this fixed and we're gonna be back in the mix

1711
01:42:18,439 --> 01:42:23,400
Speaker 3: for a championship. And when they say it, it's believable

1712
01:42:24,040 --> 01:42:30,320
Speaker 3: because they've done it. But when Duke Tobin stands up

1713
01:42:30,360 --> 01:42:34,080
Speaker 3: there and talks down to the fan base and says

1714
01:42:34,120 --> 01:42:35,400
Speaker 3: things like we're all in.

1715
01:42:36,760 --> 01:42:41,559
Speaker 2: And then their actions don't match that, it's really hard

1716
01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:46,280
Speaker 2: for people to go, no, I believe you. It's really

1717
01:42:46,280 --> 01:42:50,040
Speaker 2: hard for people to look at that information, digest that information,

1718
01:42:50,200 --> 01:42:53,280
Speaker 2: look at the results, look at what's happened, and go

1719
01:42:53,400 --> 01:42:55,640
Speaker 2: I think I think they're telling me the truth. I

1720
01:42:55,680 --> 01:42:59,200
Speaker 2: think they are guns blazon trying to win a super

1721
01:42:59,240 --> 01:43:08,120
Speaker 2: Bowl in twenty twenty six. If all of us can

1722
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:11,840
Speaker 2: look at that roster and say, man like, yeah, it

1723
01:43:11,880 --> 01:43:16,760
Speaker 2: might be a little better, but boy, there's a lot

1724
01:43:16,760 --> 01:43:19,400
Speaker 2: of holes still remaining. There's a lot of things that

1725
01:43:19,560 --> 01:43:27,720
Speaker 2: still need addressed. You know they can see it, but

1726
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:31,519
Speaker 2: there's so much secrecy or whatever you want to say

1727
01:43:31,520 --> 01:43:35,920
Speaker 2: it about how they do things. Are they not getting

1728
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:40,080
Speaker 2: it done? Because Duke's not getting it done. Are they

1729
01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:44,840
Speaker 2: not getting it done? Because Katie and Mike are saying

1730
01:43:44,920 --> 01:43:47,719
Speaker 2: these are the financial restrictions that you have to work within.

1731
01:43:49,760 --> 01:43:54,320
Speaker 2: They don't talk to anybody, so we don't know. It's

1732
01:43:54,360 --> 01:44:00,960
Speaker 2: frustrating because you have the quarterback. You have the quarterback,

1733
01:44:03,120 --> 01:44:06,680
Speaker 2: and it doesn't feel like you're taking advantage of it.

1734
01:44:08,760 --> 01:44:11,000
Speaker 3: All right, that's gonna do it.
