Speaker 4: coming up a little bit later on this hour as well.

27
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 4: So the Bengals host the Bears on Sunday, I do

28
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 4: want to see if we can carve out some time

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 4: to see what ways that Ben Johnson, the coach of

30
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 4: the Bears, is going to come up with to say

31
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 4: nice things about the Bengals defense. The bigger stories that

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 4: relates to Sunday's game right now at least involves Joe Flacco,

33
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 4: and you know, in the aftermath of the game on Sunday,

34
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 4: this was the part that not a lot of us

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 4: talked about. The Bengals defense was terrible, the special teams

36
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 4: wasn't very good, the worst loss of the Zach Taylor era,

37
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 4: all the questions being thrown at Duke Tobin, which he

38
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 4: publicly at least will not answer. But also at the

39
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 4: end of that game, it looked like Jake Browning was

40
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 4: going to have to come in because Joe Flacco was

41
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 4: dealing with an issue, and he went into the locker

42
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 4: room and god knows what they injected him with, Well,

43
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 4: that issue is a shoulder problem.

44
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: It's a shoulder injury.

45
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 4: It's being reported by NFL networks ian Rappaport that Joe

46
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 4: Flacco is dealing with a sprained ac joint in his

47
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 4: right shoulder. His status is not clear. Zach Taylor today

48
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 4: said quote, it's probably fifty to fifty. It is by

49
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 4: the way his throwing shoulder, and he acknowledged that Joe

50
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 4: Flacco is dealing with a lot of pain. So Joe

51
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 4: Flacco's status for Sunday is in doubt, which means they

52
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 4: can lean on their defense against Chicago. They absolutely cannot

53
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 4: lean on their defense, but obviously they would have to

54
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 4: turn back to Jake Browning. None of us want to

55
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 4: watch Jake Browning play quarterback right now. Joe Flacco has

56
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 4: been really good. Joe Flacco has breathed life into the organization.

57
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 2: Now it doesn't feel that way now.

58
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 4: Because of how they lost and who they lost to

59
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 4: on Sunday, but he has breathed life into the organization,

60
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 4: kept him afloat at least before the Jets game, and

61
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 4: sent a surge of optimism permeating through the fan base.

62
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 4: And we all remember what it was like watching Jake Browning.

63
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 4: So we all wish Joe well, we always Joe Burrow

64
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 4: were playing, but we always Joe Flacco were playing, understanding

65
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 4: that it can't be Joe Burrow. That said, I'm really

66
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 4: interested in how this is going to work if it

67
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 4: ends up having to be Jake Browning. On Sunday, you know,

68
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 4: we did the thing after the Pittsburgh game, watching Joe Flacco,

69
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 4: watching the Bengals offense. And these are fair questions. By

70
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 4: the way, Gee, what can Joe Burrow learn from Joe Flacco?

71
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 4: Legitimate question? What can he learn from Joe Flacco? What

72
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 4: about how he plays? And what about how the Bengals

73
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 4: play when Joe Flacco is the quarterback can be applied

74
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 4: to how they play when Joe Burrow is the quarterback.

75
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 4: Does it make sense to have him under center more?

76
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 4: Can he get comfortable playing behind center? Can he lean

77
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 4: into the running game a little bit more? Can he

78
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 4: be more decisive quickly with the football? Can he do

79
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 4: a better job of keeping himself upright? Can he have

80
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 4: the kind of career that Joe Flacco has had where

81
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 4: the dudes playing until he's forty? All very fair questions

82
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 4: In the short term, though I am interested in whether

83
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 4: or not Jake Browning learned anything like throw the ball

84
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 4: to Jamar Chase. I don't want to overly simplify what

85
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 4: the Bengals have done on offense since Joe Flacco took over.

86
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: But the proof is in the putting man. The proof

87
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: are in the points.

88
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 4: Thirty three against Pittsburgh, thirty eight against the Jets, looked

89
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 4: very good of the second half against the Green Bay Packers. Yes,

90
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 4: they are running the ball more effectively. They've been a

91
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 4: really good running team here in the month of October.

92
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 4: But the thing that has stood out to me more

93
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 4: than anything is the dude has mastered the simple Jamar

94
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: Chase is open, I'll throw him the football. He'll make

95
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: a play. T Higgins is open, I'll throw him the football.

96
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 4: He'll make a play. What was maddening about Jake Browning

97
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 4: was it felt like the main guys were open, right.

98
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 4: It felt like Chase was often open, It felt like

99
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 4: Higgins was often open, and Jake either couldn't get the

100
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 4: ball to him or simply wouldn't get the ball to him.

101
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 4: And at the end of that Detroit game, we played

102
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 4: the audio Jake Browning sounded and looked like a defeated man,

103
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 4: somebody who knew that he had coughed away an opportunity,

104
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 4: because that's kind of that's how it was being framed

105
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 4: right when Burrow got hurt. Okay, Jake Browning gets a

106
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 4: shot here, maybe as many as fifteen games, to prove

107
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 4: that he can start in this league, to prove that

108
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 4: he's a guy that you can give the keys of

109
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 4: the offense too. And he looked and sounded like a

110
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 4: guy who perhaps was dealing with the realization that he

111
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 4: was never going to get an opportunity like that every again.

112
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 4: And chances are the days of wondering whether or not

113
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 4: Jake Browning is going to be a starter or as

114
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 4: viewed as a starter by other teams. There's a pretty

115
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 4: damn good chance that time is coming gone. That's out

116
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 4: the window, but it is possibly if he plays, at

117
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 4: least going to be an opportunity for him to show

118
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 4: that he learned from watching the guy who took his place.

119
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: Now.

120
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, Jake Browning doesn't play defense, and so he ain't

121
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 4: going to do anything as it relates to keeping the

122
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 4: Chicago Bears out of the end zone. And if he

123
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 4: ends up having to play for a while, all the

124
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 4: talk of staying afloat and making the postseason and I

125
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 4: just that, just that totally goes out the window. But

126
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 4: there's at least a chance that on Sunday we get

127
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 4: a chance to see whether or not Jake Browning was

128
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 4: paying attention when Joe Flacco was playing, and whether or

129
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 4: not there was anything he learned from watching Joe Flacco

130
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 4: take over an offense that was totally inept when Jake

131
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 4: Browning was running it and has been very good since

132
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 4: Joe Flacco took over, at least starting in the second

133
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 4: half of his first game against Green Bay.

134
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: We will see, We'll see.

135
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 4: I'm I'm not gonna I wasn't gonna do this anyway,

136
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 4: but I'm not gonna worry about playoffs and the math

137
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 4: and how many games do they need to win like

138
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 4: they've won one since Week two?

139
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: Get back to five hundred first. It's gonna be really

140
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: hard to do that.

141
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 4: If they don't win this game on Sunday, Joe Flacco

142
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 4: gives him a better chance, But if Jake Browning has

143
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 4: to play, it will be fascinating to see if any

144
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 4: lessons from watching Joe Flacco can be applied when Jake

145
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,239
Speaker 4: Browning is playing.

146
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: If he plays against Chicago, we will see.

147
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 4: Bengals game plan is tonight from six to eight on

148
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 4: ESPN fifteen thirty. There's the question Tony and Austin were

149
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 4: talking about this, So the Bengals are kind of shorthanded

150
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 4: right now. The Mike Pennell thing, I'm gonna be honest

151
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 4: with you, I don't care too much about him.

152
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: Number one.

153
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 4: I think it's completely understandable to wonder why Trey Hendrickson

154
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 4: can't be the leader if he's the guy that insisted

155
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 4: on being a captain. Number two. If it ain't Trey Hendrickson,

156
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 4: who is it number three? Who's going to replace Mike

157
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 4: Pennell on the roster or Mike Pennell. Sorry, guy wasn't

Speaker 4: you see, gets set to begin the season on Tuesday

217
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 4: against Lehigh, a team that won the Patriot League championship

218
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 4: last year. That uh, that game is gonna be on Tuesday.

219
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 4: In fact, look here I see she is just getting

220
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 4: out of a meeting right now. All right, So we

221
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 4: we have we've made contact with the folks that you

222
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 4: see who have informed us that Katrina is what are

223
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 4: we allowed to ask her about the content of the meeting?

224
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 4: What happened in the big meeting? Was it an important

225
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 4: high level meeting meeting with the team?

226
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: I don't know.

227
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 4: So we'll chat with her in uh in just a

228
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 4: few minutes twenty one minutes after three o'clock. We don't

229
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 4: have a ton of time, I will admit today for

230
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 4: phone calls five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifteen thirty.

231
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 4: But if we do, there it is, and we'll we'll

232
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 4: try to squeeze you in the other the other part

233
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 4: of maybe Jake Browning having to play quarterback on Sunday

234
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 4: is if he does. And again, if you didn't know,

235
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 4: Zach Taylor is calling Joe Flacco day to day with

236
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 4: a a right ac joint spring.

237
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 2: This is throwing shoulder right ac joint sprain.

238
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 4: Who knows The Bengals official injury report is not out yet,

239
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 4: but it certainly feels like it's at least a distinct possibility.

240
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 4: Excuse me that we're gonna see Jake Browning on Sunday.

241
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 4: What would make that not as sobering would be if

242
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 4: you can lean into another part of your team, Like

243
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 4: it's it's not apples to apples by any stretch of

244
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 4: the imagination, but on Saturday you see football This year

245
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 4: has statistically a really balanced offense, and coaches all the

246
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 4: time pay lip service to balance right balanced. Do want

247
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 4: to have a balanced attack? Many say it, but they

248
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 4: don't actually do it. You see this year's ad a

249
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 4: balanced offense, and it's helped that the offensive line has

250
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 4: been really good. It's helped that they haven't turned the

251
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 4: ball over all that much, but they have shown an

252
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 4: ability to beat you both in the air and on

253
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 4: the ground. So in a game where one of those

254
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 4: isn't working to the extent that you would like, you

255
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 4: can lean into the other part of your offense. So

256
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 4: against Baylor on Saturday, they didn't throw the ball that well.

257
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 4: I think Brendan sores be finished with like one hundred

258
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 4: and eleven yards passing, but oh boy, they ran it.

259
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 4: Now they're gonna have to throw the ball better against

260
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 4: teams like Utah on Saturday. But you could lean on, hey,

261
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 4: we're good enough to run the ball that if you

262
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 4: if we're not throwing the ball that effectively, we can

263
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 4: lean into the running game. Excuse me, it would be

264
00:13:54,360 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 4: delightful if you would acknowledge, Okay, offensively, we're maybe gonna

265
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 4: struggle throwing. By the way, the good news is they've

266
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 4: run the ball here recently enough, so perhaps you can

267
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 4: construct an offense around Jake Browning if need be that

268
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 4: can still be productive and still help you win because

269
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 4: you ran the football. And maybe if you do that

270
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 4: it makes life a little bit easier for Jake Browning.

271
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 4: It would be awesome to have that running game that

272
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 4: we've seen the last couple of weeks on display with

273
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 4: Jake Browning as quarterback. But what you would like to

274
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 4: be able to do is lean into your defense. This

275
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 4: was my question back during June, July, and August. Believing

276
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 4: that Joe Burrow is going to be the quarterback, understanding

277
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 4: that many of us believe he's the best at his

278
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 4: position in the NFL, but that you still have weeks

279
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 4: where maybe the offense just doesn't click. Maybe it's turnovers,

280
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 4: maybe the other team defensively just has the antidote to

281
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 4: what you want to do.

282
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: Can you lean into your defense? Can your defense win

283
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 2: a football for you?

284
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 4: Now them o for the Bengals with healthy Joe Burrow

285
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 4: is obviously not for the defense to do all the

286
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 4: heavy lifting or do excuse me, most of the heavy lifting.

287
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 4: But during a long season, during those weeks where the

288
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 4: offense just doesn't have it, can the defense be a

289
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 4: reason why you win? Or if you have to play

290
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 4: a game without your high end weaponry because of injury,

291
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 4: or you have to play a game without your quarterback,

292
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 4: can you still survive? Can you still beat beatable teams

293
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 4: because of your defense? Obviously, so far this year the

294
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 4: answer has been no, with the exception of the Cleveland game,

295
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 4: and the Browns have a terrible offense and we're not

296
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 4: playing quin Shawn Judkins.

297
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: To that point, what about on Sunday.

298
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 4: Like we are at the stage of the season where

299
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 4: I think you were hoping by now that the answer

300
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 4: could be yes, Bears are coming. Season is teetering on

301
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 4: the brink two under five hundred. You might be down

302
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 4: to call it what it is. Jake Browning is a

303
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 4: third string quarterback at this point. Can your defense win

304
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 4: a football game for you? Can you apply just enough pressure?

305
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 4: Can you create a turnover or two? Can you make

306
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 4: the other team's offense one dimensional? The frustrating thing about

307
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 4: the way this season has unfolded, there are many, There's

308
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 4: not just one. But one of the frustrating things about

309
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 4: the way this season is unfolded is.

310
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: You kind of.

311
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 4: Shrug your shoulders and believe that if Jake Browning plays,

312
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 4: they have no chance. Ay, because Jake played so poorly

313
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 4: when he was the starter. B You can't lean on

314
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 4: another part of your team. You can't lean on the

315
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 4: defense certainly can't trust it, and you can't trust Duke

316
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 4: Tobin with it either, which we'll spend some time on

Speaker 4: Thank you so much for listening today. The University of

336
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 4: Cincinnati women's basketball team opens up in season next Tuesday

337
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 4: against Lehigh Lehi, the Patriot League champions. The Bearcats are

338
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 4: going to play four teams during non conference play that

339
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 4: advanced to the postse last year. The Bearcats played an

340
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,239
Speaker 4: exhibition two nights ago, defeating Taylor one oh four to

341
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 4: sixty seven. This is a highly anticipated season in the

342
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 4: Big Twelve for the University of Cincinnati women's basketball program

343
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 4: and the head coach, Katrina Meriweather, who I think fresh

344
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 4: out of a meeting kind enough to join us as always, coach,

345
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 4: it's going to have you.

346
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 2: How are you.

347
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,719
Speaker 10: It's great to talk to you. Thank you for having me.

348
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: What's more fun sitting in a meeting or talking to me?

349
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 10: Absolutely talking to you with these meetings.

350
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 6: I tell our kids all the time, there's things that

351
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 6: you have to do so that you can do what

352
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 6: you love to do.

353
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 10: And that's what meetings are for me.

354
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 4: All right, So I'm sure you have a lot to discuss.

355
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 4: We're less than a week away from the opener. What

356
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 4: are those days just before the first game that counts

357
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 4: like for you and your staff?

358
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're doing a few days of skill development, trying

359
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 6: to clean up some things from the exhibition. Playing Taylor

360
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 6: was really good for us. They're going to have a

361
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 6: great season. They have a really good player and so

362
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 6: we're gonna have to to do better maintaining and garden.

363
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 6: And I was happy with our offense, defense not so much,

364
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 6: so that'll be an emphasis. And then a couple of

365
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 6: days before we'll start actually preparing for Lehigh and getting

366
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 6: this prepared as we can with it being the first

367
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 6: game with no previous games to watch.

368
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 2: What do you like most about your team right now?

369
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 6: I love how they play together. I think we have

370
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 6: great chemistry. That's one of the reasons we were able

371
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 6: to score main points very rarely in the last couple

372
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 6: of years that we had more assist than turnovers. And

373
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 6: so we've seen a huge improvement just from our closed

374
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 6: scrimmage to our intrasquad scrimmage to our exhibition games. So

375
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 6: they are growing and getting better, and I love how

376
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 6: they play.

377
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 10: With each other.

378
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 4: I know what d Alexander has already meant to your program,

379
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 4: and I know what she's going to meet your program.

380
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 4: I just I put myself in her shoes and I go,

381
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 4: you know, you build to this point, you're about to

382
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 4: start your college basketball career, and it's delayed, right, you

383
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 4: have to wait, and you come to grips with that.

384
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 4: She's an athlete she's a competitor, she understands all that.

385
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 4: That doesn't mean it's easy, and so I guess my

386
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 4: question is, how is she doing dealing with an injury

387
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 4: that she suffers right before the season begins.

388
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 10: Well, it's heartbreaking, right.

389
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 6: You have a kid that comes in with all the hype,

390
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 6: and deservingly so, the All Star Games, the honors, the

391
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 6: all the things, and then she gets here and she

392
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 6: hits some obstacles and then this last one. Obviously it

393
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 6: is going to take her out for a little bit,

394
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 6: and we're just supporting her as best we can.

395
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 10: We have a great medical team that's looking after her.

396
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 6: Her family and her friends have been phenomenal, and I

397
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 6: think her teammates, because of the type of person she is,

398
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 6: they've embraced her even more and they're doing everything they

399
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 6: can look out for her too. So in my opinion,

400
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 6: she's going to continue to do well because she knows

401
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 6: that we're behind her and we're supporting her.

402
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 4: There are newcomers on every team and every sport, more

403
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 4: so than ever before. You have eight this year. What

404
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 4: has stood out about the way that they have blended

405
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 4: with each other and the players you bring back from

406
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 4: last season.

407
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 6: I think our leadership from the five returners where they

408
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 6: just want to continue taking steps forward for the program,

409
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 6: and then the Big twelve allows them to embrace the

410
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 6: eight new ones, getting Mary Carden out of the portal,

411
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 6: giving us the more depth and size and the five

412
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 6: spot along with Maya Peri and Ohio native that can

413
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 6: shoot the pill off the ball.

414
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 10: We know how important it is to be able to have.

415
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 6: An exterior threat and perimeter threat. And then those six freshmen,

416
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 6: they're all different, they all bring something very special to

417
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 6: the table. Outside of d Kalia Debilisi is the most

418
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 6: decorated from high school and she's a phenomenal point guard.

419
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 6: Had seventeen points, seven assists, and two turnovers, and our

420
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 6: exhibition games proven that she can just score and bunches

421
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 6: as well as create for other people. Kylie Torres is

422
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 6: probably our biggest and best surprise, as we picked her

423
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 6: up late in the spring after she decommitted and she's

424
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 6: starting in the four spot and she's energetic and impacts

425
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 6: the game on both ends. And Joia Crawford is a

426
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 6: heck of an offensive player and Cali Beard and Page

427
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 6: will be joining us soon, but they're sitting out right now. Temporarily,

428
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 6: so you know, there's a lot of playing.

429
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 10: Time available, so they better figure out how to play well.

430
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 4: Thrown to the wolves, what is I mean, there's the obvious,

431
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 4: Like there's the size, the athleticism, the speed. I mean,

432
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 4: there are so many different things that you have to

433
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 4: get used to when you make the lead from high

434
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 4: school to this, this level of college basketball. Getting said

435
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 4: for a season in the Big twelve, Beyond the obvious,

436
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 4: what's the biggest adjustment, It's.

437
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 10: Always going to be time management.

438
00:22:58,880 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 5: Right.

439
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 6: We bring them in this summer and we have limited

440
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 6: time to work out. The rules allow you to do

441
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 6: four hours of basketball and four hours to strength and conditioning.

442
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 6: They take one or two classes and their days seem free,

443
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 6: and then fall hits and it's five classes and it's

444
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 6: twenty hours. It's worth of practice, and I think.

445
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 10: Their heads starts to spend a little bit.

446
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 6: And so what really they discover is the more they

447
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 6: take care of themselves, the more that they fuel and

448
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 6: hydrate and rest and go to treatment, and they're proactive

449
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 6: and preventative and still find a time to get the gym.

450
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 6: The smooer the transition is if you try to take

451
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 6: a nap every chance to get in.

452
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 10: Your days get a little full.

453
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 6: So that's to me, the biggest challenge that they have

454
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 6: is managing all the things that are going to be

455
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 6: in a Division one athlete.

456
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 4: I couldn't manage my time in college and I played

457
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 4: intermural basketball forty five minutes a week, So I can't

458
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 4: even imagine you took your players on an international trip.

459
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 4: You went to Rome, you played international competition. I think

460
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 4: two games give me an idea of how that's paid

461
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 4: off for your kids.

462
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 6: Well, I have to be honest, the chemistry is the

463
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 6: number one factor.

464
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 10: Like to watch.

465
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 6: Them bond together, for them to eat gelato, for us

466
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 6: to have a cooking class, for them to learn the

467
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 6: culture and see all the different the sites.

468
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 10: I think that that was the best part for them.

469
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 6: The best part for me was being able to suit

470
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 6: up and play with some lineups because this freshman class

471
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 6: in particular is very versatile. So who is my backup

472
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 6: point guard? You know who is going to be able

473
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 6: to play the three and the four. Who's going to

474
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 6: be able to be on the floor and play well

475
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 6: with who? And that will always be the biggest benefit

476
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 6: for me, on top of watching them grow together as

477
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 6: a team and build and bond.

478
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 2: You had me a gelato the rest of the other stuff.

479
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you, it doesn't matter all

480
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 2: that much.

481
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 10: Had all of us in the toe hold.

482
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, we.

483
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 10: Went every night.

484
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 6: We all went every night to finish the night off

485
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 6: we were We're at the gelato shop.

486
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 4: Yeah that sounds I'm going to daydream about that the

487
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 4: rest of the day. You checked the box last year,

488
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 4: first winning season in UC women's basketball in five years,

489
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 4: and it's that's you have to improve upon that.

490
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 2: You know that.

491
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 4: But do you feel like the foundation has kind of

492
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 4: been laid, you know, and it's like, all right, we

493
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 4: did this. We're a winning program. We're in the Big Twelve.

494
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 4: We've put the growing pains of the first season or

495
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 4: two behind us, and now we can kind of take

496
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 4: off from here.

497
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 6: Well, I'm really optimistic about us being able to take

498
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:40,959
Speaker 6: steps forward.

499
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 10: We'll have to see how that manifests.

500
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 6: Because you can't discount losing Jillian Hayes, right, and having

501
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 6: someone with so much experience and being an All conference

502
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 6: player in the Big Twelve, including todaya Hilton you know,

503
00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 6: who had sec experience and came in and just impacted

504
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 6: our team in program and conference in such a positive way.

505
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 10: Do I feel like we've replaced them?

506
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 6: I think it's difficult to do that, especially with just

507
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 6: one player.

508
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 10: So what we just told this team is one thing

509
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 10: is for certain.

510
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 6: This whole team needs this whole team, and the way

511
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 6: that we're going to take a step forward is not

512
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 6: going to be by individual performances. It's going to be

513
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 6: about playing together as a team on both ends.

514
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 10: Of the floor.

515
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 4: Makes sense. I know you have a lot going on.

516

Speaker 4: The opener is fast approaching. Cannot thank you enough. You're

Speaker 4: that one is open. Some pancakes sound amazing right now,

568
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 4: I'm not amazing.

569
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,640

Speaker 11: Is that one pancake spot that you and the day

571
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:07,200

572
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 4: So a litt bit the Madeira Cafe. It's been a

573

Speaker 4: few years, I hope. So greatest pancakes of all time,

574
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 4: legitimately the greatest pancakes of all time, and it's been

575
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 4: maybe three years since I've gone. Man, pancakes sound incredible.

576
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 4: At this moment, That's all I'm gonna be able to

577

Speaker 4: dot Com. I know pancakes are not on your brain

580
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 4: right now, Amy, but we talk about the intersection of

581
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 4: sports and business all the time, So tell me what

582
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 4: is on your mind.

583
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 12: I don't know if you've noticed this depends lately, but

584
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 12: we've been losing a few college football coaches slightly earlier

585
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 12: in the season, then maybe we're somewhat used to. I mean,

586
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 12: the list is actually crazy long, considering we're not even

587
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 12: at a Halloween yet.

588
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 10: Of course, Brian Kelly from LSU, everyone's been talking about.

589
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 12: Penn State, Frank, They're Florida, Arkansas, oklahom State, in State Virginia.

590
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 12: That's a lot of coaches to be losing this early

591
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 12: and this season. I think that we have just had

592
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 12: so many changes in college sports.

593
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 8: Right.

594
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 12: You've got the transfer portal, You've got this nil money,

595
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 12: you've got these direct.

596
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 10: Payments that are being made, and so I think you've

597
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 10: got a fickle sport that's become even more impatient.

598
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 12: And it's an interesting cycle because you have to have

599
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 12: a program that is performing in order to bring in

600
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 12: money to pay the athletes that will continue to perform.

601
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 10: So where before maybe you would have.

602
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 12: Had more time on a coach's clock for them to perform,

603
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 12: for them to build a program, it's almost like the

604
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 12: way that the system now works, you can't use that

605
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 12: time to build the program because if your program is behind,

606
00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 12: you're likely not making enough money to pay top tier athletes.

607
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 10: To start to perform. Does that make sense?

608
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 4: Totally no, And you know I've talked about this as

609
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 4: it relates to you. See, I think it's never been

610
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 4: more difficult to be a new head coach in a

611
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,719
Speaker 4: new place because you're going to start with the bear cupboard, right.

612
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 4: But I also think it's never been more reasonable for

613
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 4: a quick turnaround years two and three. You know, it

614
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 4: used to be college coaches were hired and it's like,

615
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 4: all right, four year plan, five year plan, maybe a.

616
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 2: Little bit sooner.

617
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 4: But now that the players can go for one school

618
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 4: to the other, and now that you can pay them.

619
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 2: I get it.

620
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 4: Fans, boosters, administrators, everybody wants to quick fix because it's

621
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 4: never been easier for that to come.

622
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 12: You think about Nick Satan, who had Long Right, Long

623
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 12: Story Coach twenty twenty three. He's like, ah, writing on

624
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 12: the wall, I'm out of here. I'm going to go

625
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 12: play golf and be announcer.

626
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 10: Smartest man in the room.

627
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 13: Right.

628
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 12: The thing about these coaches, though, is while you know, listen,

629
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 12: high stress situation, probably wouldn't want this. It's a lot

630
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 12: easier for you and I to criticize how they approach

631
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 12: these things. But one of the things that they do

632
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 12: when they are coming into these schools in the midst

633
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 12: of all the fanfare and pomp and circumstance, is they're

634
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 12: really smart about how they negotiate these contracts. So it

635
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 12: is not like any of these coaches that suddenly find

636
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 12: themselves out of a job are going to be claiming

637
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 12: unemployment anytime soon.

638
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 10: I mean, you know, millions and millions of dollars. I mean,

639
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 10: Brian Kelly reportedly.

640
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 12: Out of a fifty four million dollar contract that was

641
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 12: supposed to pay out over ten years.

642
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 10: He'll get that money, you know.

643
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 12: Franklin probably get enough money to buy a private jet,

644
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 12: like they're good. And I think there's something that many

645
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 12: of us can take away from that in the fact

646
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 12: that when we are switching jobs, we.

647
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 10: Often do not think about that job ever ending. We

648
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 10: don't think about the bracond. We just want to know

649
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 10: how much they're going to pay us, right.

650
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think there's something to this, right, Like

651
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 4: these coaches, they are agents, they negotiate big buyouts, and

652
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 4: they're obviously not planning on getting fired, but they can

653
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 4: protect themselves. And I do think there's probably some real

654
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 4: world application there right where you take a new position,

655
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,719
Speaker 4: whether it's with the company you're at now or you

656
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 4: go work for someone new, I guess, and you could

657
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 4: speak to this better than me. I would imagine that

658
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 4: many do not think about what it would look like

659
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 4: if they get terminated, and that's something you do need

660
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 4: to prepare for, even when you're taking a new position.

661
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 10: Well, that is one hundred percent true.

662
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 12: We've already seen a shift in how employees approach new positions.

663
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 12: It used to be the number one thing everyone cared

664
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 12: about with salary everything else. I'll figure out the benefits

665
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 12: three months after I start working there. I just want

666
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 12: to make sure that the salary covers it. I think

667
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 12: the pandemic in what has happened in the workforce since

668
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 12: has changed that. I've seen a number of studies that

669
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 12: show for a lot of especially millennials and gen Zers,

670
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 12: kind of these next generations coming up, it's really not

671
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 12: as much about the salary. Certainly, that's part of it,

672
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 12: but for many of them, it's about can I have

673
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 12: a hybrid work environment?

674
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 10: Is there any kind of remote policy?

675
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 14: Right?

676
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 10: There's other things that they're starting to think.

677
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 12: About, But I would guess that most workers never think

678
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 12: about the backside of things, which is severance. What is

679
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 12: the severance policy? So I think number one is understanding

680
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 12: what is the policy going in? And second, many times

681
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 12: the only thing that we negotiate in a new job

682
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 12: is the salary. There's so many more things, however, that

683
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 12: can be negotiated, right, some of those benefits, how bonuses

684
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 12: are paid out, what kind of vacation you have. Listen,

685
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 12: here's a little tip. This is what Amy Wagner does.

686
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 12: If I am ever switching a job, you better believe

687
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 12: I'm planning a vacation and telling the.

688
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 2: New boss immediately, yeah, that I.

689
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 10: Will not be able to be there do it every time. Right,

690
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 10: It's a no brainer. But I think severance needs to

691
00:34:59,120 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 10: be part of that.

692
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 12: There is a fine line that you have to walk

693
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 12: with this conversation, because you also don't want to be

694
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 12: the person who is laser focused on the end of

695
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 12: a job when.

696
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 10: You're first walking in. But let's take it back to

697
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 10: these coaches.

698
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 12: Wait, think about Belichick, right, I mean, you had these

699
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 12: donors and this school and all these alums rolling out

700
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 12: the red flag writing all the checks in the world.

701
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 12: How amazing it was that a college team was going

702
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 12: to get someone with a history like Bill Belichick.

703
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 10: He also negotiated severance into this.

704
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 12: And if this ultimately does not work out, Uh, he's

705
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 12: going to walk away with this.

706
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 10: By the way, fine for him and his girlfriend. You know.

707
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 12: I think there's something to be learned from this, and

708
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 12: that is you kind of have to take in the

709
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 12: totality of what employment looks like, not just the salary,

710
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 12: but the benefits, what kind of flexibility you want around

711
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 12: a remote schedule or a hybrid schedule. And also on

712
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 12: the back end of this, if this doesn't work out, right,

713
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 12: I'm going to come to the table. I'm going to

714
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 12: give you everything that I can, just like all of

715
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 12: these coaches. But if for some reason, and sometimes it's

716
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 12: not in our control, that something does not work out,

717
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 12: what is my parachute on the backside? What steps have

718
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,720
Speaker 12: I taken to protect myself and of course my family.

719
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 10: And that's something I.

720
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 12: Think that we need to start thinking about when we

721
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 12: switch these positions, when we make these jumps.

722
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 4: It's also worth mentioning like last year, there were not

723
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 4: a ton of schools that change coaches, right, so the

724
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 4: job market is cyclical. This year it's going to be insane,

725
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 4: especially once the off season begins and we're i think

726
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 4: just scratching the surface in terms of coaches who are

727
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 4: going to be removed and ultimately replaced. And again I

728
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 4: think there's a real world application to that as well.

729
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 4: We always hear about job numbers. In the job market,

730
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 4: it is cyclical, just like college football.

731
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 10: It is, and we've also seen a major chef there.

732
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 10: That's an excellent point.

733
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 12: So coming out of the pandemic, once again, what we

734
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 12: realized was workers were in the seat for negotiating. You

735
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 12: could tell your boss to take that job and shove

736
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 12: it on Monday, and by Friday, you've got three other offers.

737
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,919
Speaker 12: What we have seen over the course of the past

738
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 12: few years is that pendulum flying way in the other direction.

739
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 12: I think AI is part of this, right, So back

740
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 12: to the college coaches, they're dealing with major shifts in

741
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 12: that industry with nil money transfer portal. So is the

742
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 12: average worker in the fact that AI's coming along. So

743
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 12: now you've got places like Walmart saying we actually have

744
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 12: a plan where we're going to continue to grow over

745
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 12: the next three years, and by the way, we're going

746
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 12: to keep our head count flat.

747
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 10: That's unheard of.

748
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 12: In companies that are looking for growth target saying the

749
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 12: same thing. Meta interestingly meta, right, so Facebook, everyone uses Facebook.

750
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 10: They're actually cutting hundreds of jobs right now from their

751
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 10: AI divisions, and you know, there's some irony.

752
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 12: There, and so you know, I think also what you

753
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 12: have to think about is you don't have probably the

754
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 12: leverage that you did in jumping before. There there are

755
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 12: a lot of companies that feel like they've got really

756
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 12: strong growth plans.

757
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 10: That do not involve growing their workforce, and that is

758
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 10: going to be a major shift.

759
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 12: And just like these college coaches are trying to figure

760
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 12: out what this new terrain looks like I think the

761
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 12: average worker is going to have to figure that out too.

762
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 4: Makes a lot of sense. Amy, awesome to have you

793
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,680

Speaker 4: what he had to deal with with a fractured fractured

795
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,240

806

Speaker 4: lower body injury. I don't spend that many times, that

807
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 4: much time in the studio talking about collapse lungs. I

808
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 4: feared for the worst, and yet you are back. What

809
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 4: has this year been like?

810
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's been a whirlwind of a year, to be honest.

811
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 15: I mean started off to see and coming back from

812
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,000

Speaker 15: up playing eighteen games, you know, and halfway between had

819
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,760
Speaker 15: those games, broke my ribs, bought my lung, sat another

820
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 15: two months out and got to continue playing on the

821
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 15: rest of the season. And honestly, it's just been a

822
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 15: huge buzzing And yeah, the cherry on top has come

823
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 15: back Player.

824
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 2: Of the Year. It's well deserved.

825
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 4: I cannot imagine what must have been going through your

826
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 4: head and you're a resilient guy, but you had to

827
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 4: stay in the hospital down there in Atlanta. They're telling

828
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 4: you about fractured ribs and a collapse long and you've

829
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 4: already come back from so many different things. What were

830
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 4: those days, those immediate days after the injury, Like.

831
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 15: It was really just like, I can't believe I'm back

832
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 15: in a hospital again.

833
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 14: It will be the third time in two years.

834
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 15: I'm in a hospital getting some type of surgery.

835
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 2: How is this happening again?

836
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 15: No one, It was just like I need I need

837
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 15: to you know.

838
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 10: That's it.

839
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 15: I was like, all right, here's the timeline eight weeks

840
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 15: and we'll see how it goes. We're gonna cry and

841
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 15: blaze your nerves so you can't feel anything. So once

842
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 15: you feel like you're up for it.

843
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

844
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 15: And so that was it. It was just one day at

845
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 15: a time, slowly working my way back to full fitness

846
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 15: and preparing to get it my best.

847
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 2: Go I.

848
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 4: We talked about the injury when it happened, and we

849
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 4: felt awful for you on a human level, and then

850
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 4: I'm going, Okay, maybe the length of the season will

851
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 4: allow him to get back. At the very very end,

852
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 4: I was surprised, and look, I'm not I'm a radio dork.

853
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 4: I don't know anything about ribs or lungs or anything

854
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 4: like that, but it was it was eye opening to

855
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:57,959
Speaker 4: me that you came back as quickly as you did.

856
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 4: Was was that the timeline that was out line to

857
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 4: you when when you first offered the injury.

858
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 14: Yeah, generally they were just like eight weeks.

859
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 15: So I came back right at the eight week mark.

860
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 16: Your lungs are probably like the least amount.

861
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 15: They heal pretty quickly, and it's about getting lung capacity

862
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 15: back and that comes back in those those two months,

863
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 15: and then it's really how much can you withstand the

864
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 15: pain of the ribs being broken? And luckily they like

865
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 15: cry ablaze, like I still can't feel my ribs right now,

866
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 15: Like there's still numbers can be and they basically it

867
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 15: was just about getting fitness, and the hard part of

868
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,240
Speaker 15: it is like mid season getting fitness is very difficult.

869
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 17: You don't have that many games.

870
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 15: Every point matters, so you're trying to get the most

871
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,399
Speaker 15: out of it. And so where's the opportunities to get

872
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 15: yourself fitness because practice is just not able to do.

873
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 15: It's not it's not the same as game minutes, and

874
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 15: so was. I was lucky enough to get League's Cup

875
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 15: and we were kind of out of it at the

876
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,760
Speaker 15: on the last game, and I got to get forty

877
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 15: five minutes there, get to play with the second team

878
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 15: and get minutes there. And then slowly, you know, we

879
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 15: had a bunch of injuries and they were like, all right,

880
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 15: you're we're in Portland, we need a center back. You

881
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 15: gotta play. So I was able to get my minutes there,

882
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 15: and yeah, the rest of the rest of the season

883
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 15: is how it played out.

884
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 4: I promise we'll talk about something besides the injury, but

885
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 4: what is what is taking contact been like?

886
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,479
Speaker 15: You know, I the first couple ones was it felt

887
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 15: like the wind got knocked knocked out of me, and

888
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 15: I was just like feeling really uncomfortable. As things have changed,

889
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 15: you know, I protect myself a little bit more. I

890
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 15: go into challenges a little bit harder, because sometimes I

891
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 15: feel like if the person that goes in harder is

892
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 15: gonna be, you know, safer than the one that goes

893
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 15: in softer. So kind of make sure that I'm protecting

894
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 15: myself in those regards. And you know, I've got hit

895
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 15: a couple of times in a way that it felt weird,

896
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 15: but ultimately the metal titanium in my ribs has held up.

897
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 4: And when you were when you were on your way

898
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 4: to coming back, you watch do you watch the Columbus

899
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 4: game actually in the bailey?

900
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 2: What was that like?

901
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 9: I did?

902
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 15: Honestly an awesome experience.

903
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 17: Yeah.

904
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 15: I went in for five minutes, we scored two goals,

905
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 15: being a part of the fans. Like, the funny thing

906
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 15: is is like for me, I would you know if

907
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 15: I was not playing soccer and I was just in

908
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:24,399
Speaker 15: sales somewhere in downtown Cincinnati working for somebody, I would

909
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 15: be on the weekend in the bailey every weekend cheering

910
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 15: the cheer in f.

911
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 6: C Cincinnati on.

912
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 15: So for me, that was kind of just so, you know,

913
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 15: a way to support my team, support the people that

914
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 15: support us all year and be a part of the

915
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 15: energy of the f C Cincinnati and the passion of it.

916
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,240
Speaker 15: And it was honestly a blast. I saw two goals.

917
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 15: I mean, it couldn't be better. My only regret was

918
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 15: not staying longer.

919
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 4: To be honest, By the way, if you want to

920
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 4: work in sales, we can we can arrange that for

921
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 4: you here.

922
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 2: Just just if that's like a goal of yours.

923
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 14: I'm just saying in an alter you.

924
00:45:58,040 --> 00:45:59,919
Speaker 2: All right, I just you know, I know, folks.

925
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 4: Nick Haglit is with us today named the twenty twenty

926
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 4: five MLS Comeback Player of the Year.

927
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 2: So you've you've had a perspective.

928
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 4: I had Chris Albright on the show last week and

929
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 4: it's like, there's always moving parts. There's transfer windows, there's

930
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 4: player who's players who come from other countries, there's deals

931
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 4: with other MLS squads. There was more player movement this year,

932
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 4: and injury was a reason why, but there was more

933
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 4: player movement this year, even going back to preseason training

934
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 4: obviously with the acquisition of a vander Than I think

935
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 4: at any point during this club's history, what has it

936
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 4: been like from your perspective, from the bailey, from the

937
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 4: hospital room, from the sideline, and on the field watching

938
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 4: Pat sort of navigate all that and leading.

939
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,439
Speaker 2: You guys to a second place finish in the East.

940
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 15: What I was saying, I think there's a huge kudos

941
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 15: to the coaching staff and the guys on the team

942
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 15: for all the moving parts. You know, people coming in

943
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 15: and out. The lineup is different, changing, you know, making

944
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,959
Speaker 15: sure that the standard of play that we've had over

945
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 15: the past couple of years continues to stay no matter

946
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 15: who's on the field. I think it's a huge amount

947
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 15: about what Pat has done with the group and how

948
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 15: we've been able to you know, a lot of times

949
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 15: when teams change up, there's a dip in energy or

950
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 15: in the level of play. In this year, I feel

951
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 15: like it's just plug and shug and guys do a job.

952
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 15: Someone gets injured, next guy up. Chris has built an

953
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 15: incredibly deep team and there's a lot of competition, and

954
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 15: the coaches have used everyone. Literally from roster spot number

955
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,919
Speaker 15: one all the way to roster spot thirty. You've seen

956
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 15: everyone play a part in this and so Pat and

957
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 15: his staff have done an incredible job to keep us

958
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 15: on the right way, regardless of what the player's status

959
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,280
Speaker 15: looks like or who's in on the on the lineup

960
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 15: on the day.

961
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:42,919
Speaker 4: What was your takeaway from the way you guys played

962
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 4: on Monday.

963
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 2: We have a great game.

964
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 15: I think we played a complete game. I think it's

965
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 15: kind of the over the last month we've been building towards,

966
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 15: you know, doing the defensive things well and doing the

967
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 15: attacking things well, and I feel like it all came together.

968
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 2: On Monday.

969
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 15: I think you saw a little bit of everything, and

970
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 15: that's kind of what we've been trying to do. He

971
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 15: talked about being our bravest version of ourselves, and I

972
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 15: think we went out there and did that.

973
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 4: It's an awesome honor. I know you have a match

974
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 4: to get ready for on Sunday. You it's one step

975
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 4: at a time, and I understand, and I know you've

976
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 4: been asked this question before. Winning the MLS Cup would

977
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 4: be awesome for everybody involved, every fan, every player, every coach,

978
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 4: but for somebody who's from here and has has kind

979
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 4: of watched this get built from the ground up. Have

980
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 4: you even allowed yourself to think about what winning a

981
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 4: championship here in a few weeks might mean for you individually?

982
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 15: I mean that well, the moment I was called to

983
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 15: say I was being traded that Seasonincinnati, that's the something

984
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:52,240
Speaker 15: that I've always thought about.

985
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 16: Putting a star above the.

986
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 15: Cya Cincinnati Christ and saying.

987
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 17: That that we brought a championship to the.

988
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 15: City as a Cincinnati it means so much to me.

989
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 15: I never want to get ahead of myself, but you

990
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 15: only have so many opportunities to do this and you know,

991
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 15: I don't want to have any regrets at the end

992
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 15: of it.

993
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 2: I want to see you guys celebrate on their field

994
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:11,240

Speaker 15: I do too, I absolutely do.

996
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 4: You know you had to watch it two years ago

997
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 4: and you couldn't play, and that was you know, it

998
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 4: still sticks in everybody's crawl. And so if the come

1041
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 16: You know that this pitch riding was my normal routine.

1042
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 16: I turned on down Mowegar in the afternoons on my

1043
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 16: way home.

1044
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:32,200

1045
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,360

1046
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 4: appreciate that. Where do you even start? Is this like

1047
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 4: normal now? Where every year you know I'm gonna have six, seven, eight,

1048
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,839
Speaker 4: nine new players? Has this started to feel normal yet?

1049
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 16: Well? I think it is right. Just look around the

1050
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 16: country and if you've got, you know, less than five

1051
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 16: or six new guys, it's probably unusual. And so it's

1052
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 16: just the first year that it's happened for us to

1053
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 16: have this many new guys. And you know, our philosophy

1054
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 16: approaching this in the in this new era is we're

1055
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 16: trying to build the best team that we can uh

1056
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 16: for every season, uh one year at a time, and

1057
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 16: so you know, we hope that we've done that for

1058
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:15,919
Speaker 16: this year with the new guys.

1059
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 4: How many of these players from overseas did you get

1060
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 4: a chance to go and recruit personally?

1061
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 14: Zero?

1062
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:24,840
Speaker 16: I mean that's the thing. You don't see any of

1063
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 16: these portal guys in person, right unless you played against

1064
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 16: them or maybe recruited them at one time. You know,

1065
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:34,439
Speaker 16: you're talking about sometimes a seven day to maybe two

1066
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 16: three weeks max recruitment and and a lot of it

1067
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 16: not even in person. We we've got a guy that

1068
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 16: may start for us who we never even had on campus.

1069
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 2: Does is that normal?

1070
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 10: Yet?

1071
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,839
Speaker 16: I think it's getting there. I think it's getting there

1072
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 16: because of the timing of it. You know, you get

1073
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 16: into May and there's some some deadlines on this stuff,

1074
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 16: and uh, you know, you run out of time to

1075
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 16: get them to campus.

1076
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 4: All right, well, uh, you've had an submission game you

1077
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 4: play at Ashland. So based on that and the weeks

1078
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 4: where the practice and all the offseason workouts, what do

1079
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:06,879
Speaker 4: you like most about your team?

1080
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 10: Yeah?

1081
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 16: I think what I'm going to like hopefully is we

1082
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 16: I think we're going to be deep, a little deeper

1083
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 16: than we've been in the past. I really like our athleticism,

1084
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 16: and I think we've got some real versatility in this group.

1085
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 16: But again with with not many returners and then the

1086
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 16: returners being guys that you know, need to be more

1087
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 16: consistent in their roles. Uh, you know, we don't know

1088
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 16: exactly what we're gonna get, but I think there's real

1089
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 16: potential for us to work towards a team that's that's

1090
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 16: much more athletic and deeper overall.

1091
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 4: Do you do you go into the first few games,

1092
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 4: and I hate to put it this way, with with

1093
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 4: almost a checklist of like, we we want to win

1094
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 4: as many games as possible, but we have to accomplish

1095
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,720
Speaker 4: these things. We have to grow in these areas before

1096
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 4: Horizon League play gets here.

1097
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 14: No question, you know.

1098
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 16: I think the biggest thing, one of the reasons we've had,

1099
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 16: you know, sustained success in our play, I think we

1100
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 16: really played to an identity, and that identity is built

1101
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 16: you know, over time with you know, we don't really

1102
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 16: use the word culture, but with building you know, culture

1103
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 16: of your program and how you want to play, what's

1104
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 16: important to you, it's passed on. Right now, new guys,

1105
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 16: you don't have as much of that, and so we're

1106
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,280
Speaker 16: of course we're playing to win every game, but we

1107
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 16: really also want to build our identity early in the season.

1108
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 2: How hard is that to do when you're not seeing

1109
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 2: guys in person.

1110
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 16: Oh it's hard, right, I mean, Houpetilly, we're all rolling

1111
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 16: the dice, man, you know, and then we're not alone

1112
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 16: in our own area. Kentucky's got eleven new guys. I

1113
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 16: think I don't know how many re think Richards told

1114
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 16: Rosters do it Xavier. So like it's it's just kind

1115
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 16: of college basketball now. Man, you got to get to

1116
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,959
Speaker 16: it and hope it works out well for.

1117
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 2: You, no question about that. Darren Horne is with us.

1118
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 4: The Norris open up the season against UC Claremont on Monday.

1119
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 4: That game is going to be at seven o'clock before

1120
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,360
Speaker 4: they hit the road to go take on Tennessee. You

1121
00:54:57,360 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 4: and I talk about scheduling. We've talked about scheduling in

1122
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 4: the as is in this era of college sports, is

1123
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 4: it becoming easier more difficult to check all the boxes

1124
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:08,720
Speaker 4: you want to check with the schedule.

1125
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's getting harder for us again just because of

1126
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 16: the way we play and the success that we've had.

1127
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,320
Speaker 16: You know, used to be we were a quality RPI game.

1128
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:21,919
Speaker 16: But now it's the net system, right, and it goes

1129
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 16: by quads and whether you're at the top of the

1130
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 16: quad or the bottom of the quad. It's it's the

1131
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:31,479
Speaker 16: same ranking or or credit for your opponent, so they'd

1132
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 16: much rather play the teams at the bottom of the quad,

1133
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 16: which has made it really hard for us to get

1134
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 16: those games, and then just the structure of them as well.

1135
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:41,840
Speaker 16: We hope we've addressed that. You know, if you remember

1136
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,439
Speaker 16: last year MO, we we opened up half Florida State,

1137
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 16: went to Purdue, and then hosted Cincinnati in three of

1138
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 16: our first four games.

1139
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 14: So we we've.

1140
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 16: Tried to space that out a little bit. We are

1141
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 16: at Tennessee and on the road to the Eastern Sea State,

1142
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 16: who's always very good, but then and then we're able

1143
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 16: to come home for three towards the end of the

1144
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 16: month and hopefully build our team a little bit in

1145
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:02,320
Speaker 16: that process.

1146
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 4: Do you like the fact that there are Horizon League

1147
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:06,399
Speaker 4: games on the schedule, and this has been the case

1148
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 4: now for a while before the calendar flips the next year.

1149
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 2: I like it in general.

1150
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 16: It makes non conference scheduling harder, right because you basically

1151
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 16: have got days blocked out that you can't work with,

1152
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 16: so it limits your your flexibilability and availability for particular games.

1153
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 16: But but I like playing some of those games early

1154
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 16: and you know with all leagues now, with the number

1155
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:30,319
Speaker 16: of ear Eleague games we play, you know you're gonna

1156
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 16: have to play some in December.

1157
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 4: Oh, when you were playing, we weren't starting the season

1158
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 4: on November the third, like that's and we was talking

1159
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 4: about that before, just as a fan. That's still I

1160
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 4: remember when college basketball would start the week after Thanksgiving, right,

1161
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 4: that wasn't that long ago. The fact that we're starting

1162
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 4: this early, you talk about a new normal. That's one

1163
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 4: I haven't gotten used to.

1164
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 16: No, it really is strange, and it doesn't impact us

1165
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 16: as much because we get the summers now, so we

1166
00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 16: still feel like we have some time with our guys,

1167
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 16: even though a bunch of them are new. But yeah,

1168
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 16: I mean at tips earlier and early. I mean we're

1169
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 16: gonna start having at Halloween tip offs.

1170
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 14: We're not care.

1171
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, it feels like that. That's around the corner. The

1172
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 4: season is here, begins on Monday. We always love having

Speaker 4: Cincinnati getting set to open up the season on Monday

1345
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 4: against against Western Carolina. It's awesome to have you. You've had

1346
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 4: a chance to exhibition games. Some stuff went right some

1347
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:00,800
Speaker 4: stuff went wrong. How have you used the Michigan and

1348
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 4: Arkansas games to uh get your team ready for Monday.

1349
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 19: I'll tell you what. I've been beating this drum pretty

1350
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 19: hard for years with anybody that'll listen. But I wish

1351
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 19: we could play four or five opponents in the preseason.

1352
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 19: I think when the season started it would make the

1353
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 19: products better. In November and December, we get more out

1354
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 19: of seeing another jersey and we do out of seven practices,

1355
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 19: and so, you know, I think they were they were

1356
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 19: good tools for our development and for our preseason. Uh,

1357
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 19: there was a lot to unpack from both games, and

1358
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 19: you know, we tried to tried to use them to

1359
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 19: prepare for for Monday night when the thing tips up

1360
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 19: for real.

1361
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 4: Through the two exhibition games, all the off season workouts,

1362
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 4: and then the weeks of quote official practice. What have

1363
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 4: you come to like most about your team?

1364
01:07:58,280 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 14: You know, they're they've been in.

1365
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 19: About getting connected. I think when you've got a ton

1366
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:07,680
Speaker 19: of new faces, which happens in today's college basketball, in

1367
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 19: today's college athletics, you're going to have years that you

1368
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 19: get a lot of turnover. And you know, one of

1369
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 19: the goals that we've had for this team is in February.

1370
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 19: We want to play like a team that's been together

1371
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,800
Speaker 19: for two to three years, even though we're not, and

1372
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 19: we got to make all of us have to make

1373
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 19: efforts to try to build those connections on and off

1374
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 19: the court, and this group's been very intentional about that.

1375
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:33,640
Speaker 19: They've taken that intention to practice. Now. We weren't as

1376
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:36,800
Speaker 19: good in practice last week, but it seems to be

1377
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 19: clicking a little bit better again this week with trying

1378
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 19: to make this about just getting better every single day.

1379
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:45,200
Speaker 19: So there's been some really good cultural type things that

1380
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 19: they've done. I want to be able to say the

1381
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:49,560
Speaker 19: same thing about this team at the end of January

1382
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 19: and the end of February.

1383
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 5: But so far, so good.

1384
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 4: Is blending so many new guys together along with the

1385
01:08:58,080 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 4: players you brought back.

1386
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 2: Is this way of doing things? Has it finally become normal?

1387
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 16: Yeah?

1388
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 19: I don't think it's it's abnormal at this point. You know, certainly,

1389
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 19: the more retention you have of the right guys, I

1390
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 19: think the job is a little easier on the coach

1391
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 19: earlier in the year because just certain things that you

1392
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:20,840
Speaker 19: know carry over you can just kind of count on.

1393
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:24,519
Speaker 19: But this is going to happen all It is happening

1394
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:27,559
Speaker 19: all throughout college athletics, So trying to get the team

1395
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 19: ready in all facets what it takes to compete in

1396
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,840
Speaker 19: college basketball. But that's a that's a goal. That's why

1397
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 19: we had the summer practices. It's why I wish we

1398
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 19: had four exhibitions and that type of thing, but but

1399
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,599
Speaker 19: it is. It's the new normal, and there'll be years

1400
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:44,879
Speaker 19: that you don't have that and you have quite an advantage.

1401
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,439
Speaker 19: We don't have that advantage this year, so we got

1402
01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 19: to get to it quickly.

1403
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 4: Does it feel like this roster it's a little bit

1404
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:54,680
Speaker 4: easier to kind of identify who's going to do what

1405
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 4: at this stage in the season, at least.

1406
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 19: I think so we we in pretty clear, especially since

1407
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 19: our last exhibition on role definition, you know, and it

1408
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:11,599
Speaker 19: was interesting. We were in a ninety minute film session

1409
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 19: followed by a practice that lasted as long until my

1410
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 19: ops on Sunday, till my ops got told me I

1411
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 19: had no rules.

1412
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 14: I couldn't.

1413
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:21,719
Speaker 19: I had to get them off the floor.

1414
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 14: You know how that goes.

1415
01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:26,720
Speaker 19: So that was what great about that exhibition. It's a

1416
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 19: chance to get to get everybody's damn attention but you know,

1417
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:33,640
Speaker 19: we're in that that that film session, and there was

1418
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:35,720
Speaker 19: a bunch of opportunities to stop and go who does

1419
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 19: this well? And they were able to answer a lot

1420
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:40,640
Speaker 19: of the questions like you talked about, like who are

1421
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 19: the best shooters?

1422
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:42,880
Speaker 14: You know, who are the guys that should have.

1423
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:45,640
Speaker 19: More freedom there? So it's even with a lot of

1424
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:47,599
Speaker 19: things without even having to tell them, they were able

1425
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:49,479
Speaker 19: to tell themselves. And so I think there is some

1426
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 19: clarity on what roles are that'll certainly keep evolving, you

1427
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 19: know with the new team over the next like four

1428
01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 19: or five weeks, but I think we'll be more tof

1429
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:04,960
Speaker 19: with offensive goals with this team than we were last year,

1430
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 19: and even with new faces.

1431
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:09,679
Speaker 4: Was was that something that you prioritize when you set

1432
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 4: out to build this roster when the off season started.

1433
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:17,800
Speaker 19: Absolutely, Like coaching in the Big Twelve the last two years,

1434
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:21,600
Speaker 19: you know, the one thing that you learn is you

1435
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:25,760
Speaker 19: better have some old experienced guys, so you better have

1436
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 19: some toughness and that's physical and mental toughness, and then

1437
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 19: you do have to have a level of skill. Like

1438
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:38,320
Speaker 19: at some point the coaches the players are old, physical

1439
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 19: and tough. So at some point if you don't have

1440
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 19: enough skill, they can figure out how to defend you.

1441
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:47,800
Speaker 19: And so adding you know, enough skill, enough shooting, enough

1442
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 19: decision making, enough shot creation. That was intentional, But those

1443
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:54,639
Speaker 19: first two boxes we wanted to try to check as well,

1444
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:57,639
Speaker 19: and I thought we did a nice job at least

1445
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:01,599
Speaker 19: of checking those boxes with roster creation. Now it sounds good.

1446
01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:03,320
Speaker 19: Now we've got to go out and play that damn way,

1447
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:05,160
Speaker 19: you know, and that that's what that's what we've been

1448
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:07,560
Speaker 19: working on this whole offseason, in this whole preseason.

1449
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:11,639
Speaker 4: Your program has a general manager NBA champion Corey Evans,

1450
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:15,720
Speaker 4: and that role is becoming common across college sports, specifically

1451
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:20,040
Speaker 4: men's college basketball. Take me through the collaborative process with

1452
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 4: your program with a coach and a general manager.

1453
01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:25,679
Speaker 14: Yeah.

1454
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:27,680
Speaker 19: I appreciate you asking the question though, because I think

1455
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 19: a lot of people, you know, assume that general managers

1456
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:34,839
Speaker 19: in college basketball is the same thing as a general manager,

1457
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 19: and uh and pro Well, I guess we are pro sports,

1458
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:40,280
Speaker 19: but I mean, and if we can college state to state,

1459
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:43,760
Speaker 19: but in college basketball is different than another pro sports.

1460
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 14: So you know, in the g the.

1461
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:51,080
Speaker 19: GM of a normal professional franchise is usually the guy

1462
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:54,479
Speaker 19: that hires the coach, right like similar to the athletic director,

1463
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:57,520
Speaker 19: that's not the case with the way that we're implementing

1464
01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:01,640
Speaker 19: that role at Cincinnati. That was higher that myself and

1465
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 19: my staff made and Corey is just another part of

1466
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 19: our staff. What I looked for was the value of

1467
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 19: having somebody that three hundred and sixty five days a

1468
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 19: year thinks about player personnel in every single way, whether

1469
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:21,799
Speaker 19: that's recruiting, whether it's retention, whether that's the contractual side,

1470
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 19: whether it's the financial side, which is whether it's the

1471
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:29,960
Speaker 19: fundraising side. I mean, there's so many dynamics that have

1472
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:32,840
Speaker 19: made this job different, you know than it was four

1473
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:36,960
Speaker 19: or five years ago. Having somebody that just focuses on

1474
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:40,519
Speaker 19: a lot of those dynamics, I think, I thought and

1475
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:44,519
Speaker 19: now I believe, has great value. And then with Corey

1476
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:47,519
Speaker 19: there was a long standing relationship. He's somebody that I've

1477
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 19: known for well over a decade from back when he was,

1478
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 19: you know, in college, starting his own scouting service at

1479
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 19: Old Dominion in servicing division on programs. So he's a friend,

1480
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:03,679
Speaker 19: a professional friend, and somebody who's who was His career

1481
01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:07,720
Speaker 19: followed and he was ready for a new opportunity and

1482
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 19: a new challenge. So it really did work out for us.

1483
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:13,680
Speaker 4: I cannot wait for Monday. And now the time that

1484
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 4: you thought you were going to be talking to me

1485
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 4: tomorrow is wide open.

1486
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:17,559
Speaker 2: You can come up with something else to do.

1487
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 14: There you go.

1488
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 19: Somebody made a air but that ship the turnover, so

1489
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:25,880
Speaker 19: we sprint back and played the next If we had

1490
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 19: more than more than one of those, we got a problem.

1491
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 19: But that's the first turnover of the week from the stats.

1492
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:33,160
Speaker 4: You know what if that's if that's the worst thing

1493
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:35,639
Speaker 4: that happens this season, you guys are going to cut

1494
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 4: down net.

1495
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:38,640
Speaker 2: So I appreciate it as always. Coach, Thanks so much.

1496
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:39,360
Speaker 2: We'll see you Monday.

01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 4: four as you did Game three?

1530
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:13,160
Speaker 6: Oh?

1531
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 14: Of course not. I'mti pissed off with the Dodgers right now.

1532
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:18,080
Speaker 2: I can't see straight because they lost a game.

1533
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:23,600
Speaker 20: No, because two guys are carrying the team. Everybody everybody

1534
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 20: else is hitting their their team batting averages two fifteen.

1535
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:32,520
Speaker 14: Toronto's hitting They've got six guys.

1536
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:33,559
Speaker 20: Hitting over three hundred.

1537
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:36,960
Speaker 14: Yeah, and they're starting and two of them over four hundred.

1538
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1539
01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:40,559
Speaker 14: That puts that on ball.

1540
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:43,719
Speaker 4: That lineup just just comes at you now, So yeah,

1541
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 4: I understand the frustration. So yesterday you were exuding confidence

1542
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:52,720
Speaker 4: and today it sounds to me like you're you're you're

1543
01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:54,200
Speaker 4: feeling kind of shaky about this.

1544
01:16:55,360 --> 01:17:00,200
Speaker 14: Well, it's because that damn bullpen. So Hey was one

1545
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:02,759
Speaker 14: just fine, he pitched the six, gives up two runs,

1546
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:04,880
Speaker 14: So what you knew Guerrera was going to bust out

1547
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 14: of as many salts. So it's a two run homer.

1548
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:09,719
Speaker 14: It's not the end of the world. But then the bullpen,

1549
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,160
Speaker 14: so you know, there it goes right out the window.

1550
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:13,479
Speaker 2: Bye bye, see you later.

1551
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:17,320
Speaker 4: I mean, you know they have Blake Snell pitching. He's

1552
01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:20,480
Speaker 4: been awesome in the postseason. All hope is not lost.

1553
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:22,960
Speaker 14: No no, no, no, I'm not lost.

1554
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:24,879
Speaker 20: But I haven't even wondering.

1555
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 14: And Dave Roberts is not inclined to do this.

1556
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:29,760
Speaker 17: But the talk.

1557
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 14: Around LA and the La Times especially is that he

1558
01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:34,840
Speaker 14: may juggle that batting in order around a little bit,

1559
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,679
Speaker 14: not show Hey and not Freddie, but he might drop

1560
01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 14: Moki down a little bit. The problem is none of

1561
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:40,519
Speaker 14: them are hitting.

1562
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:45,599
Speaker 20: Yeah, so he's talking about putting key k in the

1563
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 20: second hole.

1564
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 14: Who knows, who knows what he'll do. But anyway, I

1565
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:52,599
Speaker 14: feel good about our pitching nurse the lay our starters.

1566
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, Mookie is not swinging a very good bat

1567
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 4: right now. We talked about how he was one for

1568
01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:00,160
Speaker 4: eight in the eighteen in the game, and huh, I

1569
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:02,599
Speaker 4: get it. He's he's got to provide some protection for

1570
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:05,400
Speaker 4: for show. Heyo, Tani, were you surprised that they pitched

1571
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 4: the show? Hey, the way they did, they were playing

1572
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 4: from ahead, and so you're not gonna, you know, you're

1573
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 4: not gonna needlessly put the guy in the base when

1574
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:13,200
Speaker 4: you're playing from ahead, I guess.

1575
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:14,720
Speaker 2: But they did throw to him last night.

1576
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:16,800
Speaker 14: Yeah they did.

1577
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:20,040
Speaker 20: And uh, I think because of the game one, Schnyder

1578
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:21,080
Speaker 20: started picking.

1579
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 14: Up a lot more confidence in Beaver and uh and

1580
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 14: Beaver pits a good game.

1581
01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:27,519
Speaker 2: He did, he did well?

1582
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:28,679
Speaker 7: Uh, basically he did.

1583
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 14: He surprised me. I did, because you know, he hasn't

1584
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 14: done lights out since he wanted to say young and

1585
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:35,719
Speaker 14: then had the surgery. So if he hadn't then lights

1586
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:36,479
Speaker 14: out at all, So.

1587
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 2: You're not able to go to game five?

1588
01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:42,400
Speaker 14: No, and I kind of I cook a lot at

1589
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 14: you even Yeah, physically, I was just I shouldn't have went.

1590
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 14: It was my doctor even said Mike Mann, maybe you

1591
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:50,840
Speaker 14: shouldn't go. No, I'm going to go. You know, you

1592
01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 14: always think you know more than any other person than

1593
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:54,280
Speaker 14: you usually know him so much.

1594
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 4: You know, I noticed that I noticed that Mary Hart

1595
01:18:57,200 --> 01:18:58,559
Speaker 4: made all night innings last night.

1596
01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:04,519
Speaker 14: I forgot all about that. I said something to one

1597
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:06,519
Speaker 14: of the guys going down to the game about it.

1598
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:10,360
Speaker 14: He looked at me, like Mary who And he's older

1599
01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:10,640
Speaker 14: than me.

1600
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 2: He didn't know who Mary Hart is.

1601
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:14,920
Speaker 14: Well, he was one of he you know, he's a

1602
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 14: different kind of dude. He's from North Dakota and you know,

1603
01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:21,599
Speaker 14: kind of a woodsman, veteran guy. I'm sure he wasn't

1604
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 14: into watching entertainment tonight ever. Ever, ever, probably didn't have

1605
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:27,800
Speaker 14: a TV shit, you know. I mean, you run into

1606
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:30,000
Speaker 14: all kinds of guys when it comes to veterans from

1607
01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:33,680
Speaker 14: all walks of life. But how about your knicks last night?

1608
01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:34,800
Speaker 14: I weren't impressed.

1609
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:36,400
Speaker 2: No, and you shouldn't have been.

1610
01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:40,640
Speaker 4: I was relieved because Jalen Brunston got injured in the

1611
01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:43,559
Speaker 4: fourth quarter last night, and that looked worse than it was.

1612
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:45,639
Speaker 4: He didn't miss a second of the game. They played

1613
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:49,439
Speaker 4: no defense last night. They haven't played defense really at

1614
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:51,879
Speaker 4: all in the first four games they've played, aside from

1615
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:54,400
Speaker 4: I think the first half against Boston in their second game.

1616
01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:57,760
Speaker 4: That was not a It was not a strong performance

1617
01:19:57,800 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 4: by the road team in Milwaukee last night.

1618
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:03,480
Speaker 14: Now what and I got two Bengals questions.

1619
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:05,880
Speaker 2: Real quickly, Let's talk about the Bengals, please.

1620
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:17,559
Speaker 14: Number one of the vaunted, the vaunted nor Yeah, Baltimore

1621
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:20,000
Speaker 14: said that at the beginning of the year, nobody no.

1622
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:21,960
Speaker 4: I think a lot of folks thought Baltimore was going

1623
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:23,560
Speaker 4: to run away with it. And I still think the

1624
01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:27,000
Speaker 4: Ravens are going to win the division. I I this

1625
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 4: is not a reaction to Pittsburgh losing their last two games.

1626
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:33,840
Speaker 4: That defense, to me is old. I don't think they

1627
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 4: have explosiveness offensively. The Bengals issues have been off discussed here.

1628
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:42,400
Speaker 4: I think Baltimore getting that went over Chicago without Lamar Jackson.

1629
01:20:42,439 --> 01:20:45,479
Speaker 4: Now the fact that their schedule eases up, they still,

1630
01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:48,479
Speaker 4: despite their injuries, have top to bottom the best roster

1631
01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:51,599
Speaker 4: in the division and the division is now wide or open.

1632
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:55,519
Speaker 4: Because of Pittsburgh losing consecutive games, the Bengals might have

1633
01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:58,840
Speaker 4: to play Jake Browning on Sunday. I haven't looked at

1634
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:01,599
Speaker 4: the AFC North eye. It's last I checked. Baltimore one

1635
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:03,960
Speaker 4: in five was still plus one sixty to win it.

1636
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:06,479
Speaker 4: I would go ahead and make that wager right now.

1637
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:09,599
Speaker 14: Yeah, I already did. Yeah, you're running with one sixty.

1638
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:10,680
Speaker 14: You're dead on it.

1639
01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:14,640
Speaker 2: Yes, Hey, I got like thirty seconds, go ahead.

1640
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:15,320
Speaker 14: Okay.

1641
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:19,080
Speaker 20: My last question, mister lul an Arumo, who left here

1642
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:23,280
Speaker 20: has tainted goods, but really overall was a damn good

1643
01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:26,240
Speaker 20: decoordinator for a team and really helped us get to

1644
01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 20: the Super Bowl. And he's got the sixth rank defense

1645
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:33,280
Speaker 20: in Indianapolis, averaging ninth giving up nineteen points a game.

1646
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:37,000
Speaker 14: And I wonder why. We know why because he's got

1647
01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:40,920
Speaker 14: some personnel to use to do his schemes with here

1648
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 14: he didn't.

1649
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:42,799
Speaker 2: You're you're one hundred percent.

1650
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:46,639
Speaker 4: Duke Tobin has built these defenses, Mike, thank you very much,

1651
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:50,439
Speaker 4: in the draft, and they have yielded no good players.

1652
01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:52,759
Speaker 4: There's nobody else you want to sign to a second contract,

1653
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:55,600
Speaker 4: and hasn't been for a while. Was talking with a

1654
01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:58,120
Speaker 4: buddy of mine about this. We were texting earlier. The

1655
01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 4: number of guys that they have drafted it over the

1656
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 4: last ten years that you haven't even wanted to sniff

1657
01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:08,760
Speaker 4: a second contract with is astounding. There have been exceptions,

1658
01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 4: but unfortunately the rule has been they draft players and

1659
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:14,599
Speaker 4: then don't want to keep them for years five and beyond.

1693
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:53,120
Speaker 4: the regular season. Kentucky Purdue was a fun watch. I

1694
01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 4: want that game to matter.

1695
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 21: Yeah, I just don't think they're going to do that.

1696
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 21: And this is a great alternative. Still see the see

1697
01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:04,720
Speaker 21: the game happened without a lot of pomp and circumstances.

1698
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:07,040
Speaker 9: Hype around it. You know, it wasn't a fun watch.

1699
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:08,360
Speaker 2: Arkansas Cincinnati.

1700
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 9: That was not a fun one.

1701
01:24:09,439 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 2: No, that was miserable. That was miserable.

1702
01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:15,439
Speaker 13: First time I had ever been to Chrysler Arena. Yeah,

1703
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:16,920
Speaker 13: nice place. Had a good time.

1704
01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:19,200
Speaker 4: The one thing I do miss is I missed the

1705
01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:21,960
Speaker 4: the Athletes and Action game because that was what I

1706
01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 4: enjoyed most about.

1707
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:26,040
Speaker 2: That was. Oh yeah, that guy, Oh I remember that dude,

1708
01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:27,759
Speaker 2: Marathon Oil. Oh yeah.

1709
01:24:28,040 --> 01:24:29,840
Speaker 4: And you would see these guys from like four or

1710
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:32,200
Speaker 4: five years prior that you would kind of wonder whatever

1711
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 4: happened to him, And they'd be playing for Marathon Oil

1712
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:36,759
Speaker 4: or Athletes in Action.

1713
01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:39,559
Speaker 21: And they can smoke a cigarette at halftime. Those are

1714
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:40,600
Speaker 21: great games.

1715
01:24:41,040 --> 01:24:44,080
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right. Yeah, the I watched the whole

1716
01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 2: Arkansas game.

1717
01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:48,479
Speaker 4: I watched the Michigan game after the facts, but I

1718
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:50,920
Speaker 4: watched the first half of Arkansas live and.

1719
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:53,599
Speaker 2: My takeaway was, holy hell, Arkansas is playing really hard.

1720
01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:57,639
Speaker 13: It's a perfect setting for coach Coach cal team where

1721
01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:01,200
Speaker 13: teams aren't really trying to like game plan and stop them,

1722
01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:03,000
Speaker 13: and they can run up and down the floor and

1723
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 13: overwhelm you with their athleticism. They overwhelmed Cincinnati with their athleticism.

1724
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:10,240
Speaker 13: I do think like when you get to like Houston,

1725
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 13: Iowa State, some teams like that, Like a couple of

1726
01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:16,880
Speaker 13: red flags went up for some teams Cincinnati will be

1727
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:20,880
Speaker 13: facing because I just don't think they're overly long and

1728
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:23,640
Speaker 13: athletic at guard. I think they can they can be

1729
01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:27,120
Speaker 13: pretty good at guard. But a team like that could

1730
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:28,679
Speaker 13: very well give them a lot of issues.

1731
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:31,320
Speaker 2: So let's not talk about that one. Let's talk about

1732
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:31,920
Speaker 2: the Michigan game.

1733
01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 4: Okay, because for the first half of that one, I

1734
01:25:34,439 --> 01:25:36,559
Speaker 4: immensely enjoyed the Shawn of Bay of experience.

1735
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:40,080
Speaker 13: Yeah, he's he's gonna be a freshman. He's gonna have

1736
01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:43,240
Speaker 13: his ups and downs. But when he hits his ups,

1737
01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:48,439
Speaker 13: it's gonna really really excite this fan base. Offensively, he's

1738
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:51,680
Speaker 13: just insanely gifted. Yeah, you know, he can pass, he

1739
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:56,240
Speaker 13: can shoot, he can drive, has good feel for offense.

1740
01:25:56,880 --> 01:26:01,000
Speaker 13: So when he's playing, well, you know, things are going

1741
01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:03,200
Speaker 13: to be very fun. But there's gonna be some games

1742
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 13: that he that he struggles too, that people are going

1743
01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:07,320
Speaker 13: to have to smile through.

1744
01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:14,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, here they are, They're ready. I listened to the

1745
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:19,799
Speaker 4: Murray Steak game, and that I saw Richard Patino's tweets

1746
01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:23,120
Speaker 4: after the Murray steak game one in which he referenced

1747
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 4: the beer right the Musky Lagger, which has a cool can,

1748
01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:29,000
Speaker 4: and then he went out of his way to mention

1749
01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:33,320
Speaker 4: on social media the game doesn't counts. I can't find

1750
01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:35,760
Speaker 4: anybody who thinks the Musketeers are going to be really good.

1751
01:26:35,840 --> 01:26:38,200
Speaker 4: So it kind of felt like that just fed that

1752
01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:41,000
Speaker 4: that narrative, so to speak. What was most troubling about

1753
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:44,000
Speaker 4: these seventy five seventy home loss to the Racers.

1754
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:46,839
Speaker 21: I think that if you were there in person watching it,

1755
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:49,000
Speaker 21: it didn't feel like a fluke. Like if they lined

1756
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:50,679
Speaker 21: it up and played it again this weekend, I don't

1757
01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:52,479
Speaker 21: know that you'd be more confident that Xavier was going

1758
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 21: to come away with a win. And that was just

1759
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:56,160
Speaker 21: like a one off bad night. And then that was

1760
01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:58,679
Speaker 21: kind of backed up by the fact that the word

1761
01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:02,360
Speaker 21: coming out of the secret scrimmage against Toledo was that

1762
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:05,160
Speaker 21: they also lost that one and had nineteen turnovers and

1763
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:08,760
Speaker 21: didn't play very well at times. So yeah, there's a

1764
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:11,040
Speaker 21: lot of concerning things coming out of the preseason from

1765
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:13,040
Speaker 21: a is this team going to farewell?

1766
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:15,000
Speaker 9: From a wins loss perspective.

1767
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:16,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't find anybody who thinks the answer is.

1768
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:19,760
Speaker 9: Yes, Yeah, I think that's pretty much the case right now.

1769
01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 21: I mean, we did our season preview podcast last night

1770
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:25,280
Speaker 21: for Musketeer Report, and I had them at eleven and

1771
01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:28,080
Speaker 21: twenty overall, five and fifteen in the Big East.

1772
01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:29,519
Speaker 2: Eleven and twenty.

1773
01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:31,920
Speaker 9: Correct.

1774
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:35,400
Speaker 4: That's hard for those of us who have followed that

1775
01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:37,000
Speaker 4: program to wrap our brains around.

1776
01:27:37,640 --> 01:27:37,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1777
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:40,160
Speaker 21: I think it's just a little bit different this year,

1778
01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:44,040
Speaker 21: having to not only replace an entire roster. But you

1779
01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:46,360
Speaker 21: were in a situation last year during the transfer portal

1780
01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:50,519
Speaker 21: where you had the rules changing by July first. You

1781
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:52,680
Speaker 21: had these football schools with nil collectives that were like,

1782
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:55,280
Speaker 21: we got to dump the whole collective right now before

1783
01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:57,920
Speaker 21: July first, upfront, and the school's also gonna pay guys

1784
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:00,040
Speaker 21: after July first, so we're kind of double dipping in

1785
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:02,679
Speaker 21: terms of nil. David didn't have that, so they kind

1786
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 21: of were recruiting an entire roster in the transfer portal

1787
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 21: with one hand tied behind their back. I think they'll

1788
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:09,920
Speaker 21: be in a much better spot for at least this

1789
01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:12,720
Speaker 21: upcoming spring before. I'm sure the rules could change again

1790
01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 21: after that, but this past year it was a very

1791
01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:18,120
Speaker 21: difficult year to be trying to rebuild an entire roster,

1792
01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:19,400
Speaker 21: and I think that shows.

1793
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:21,960
Speaker 2: What should they be at least decent at this season.

1794
01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 9: That's a really good question.

1795
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:27,240
Speaker 21: We talked about that last night on the podcast like Strengths, Weaknesses,

1796
01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:29,360
Speaker 21: Where do you go and we try to say, what

1797
01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:31,280
Speaker 21: are they going to hang their hat on? What are

1798
01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:34,040
Speaker 21: you sure about them being good at?

1799
01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:36,960
Speaker 9: There's not a lot there at least yet.

1800
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,360
Speaker 21: And part of it is just that we haven't seen

1801
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:39,720
Speaker 21: them a lot, right, I mean, we don't know it's

1802
01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:42,280
Speaker 21: an entirely team. All these guys are making some type

1803
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:45,360
Speaker 21: of step up and level of competition. So I don't

1804
01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:47,360
Speaker 21: think there's one thing that I've seen so far where

1805
01:28:47,360 --> 01:28:49,160
Speaker 21: I'm like, yeah, that looks really good.

1806
01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:50,160
Speaker 9: You could say on.

1807
01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:52,840
Speaker 21: Paper, they look like a long team, but I haven't

1808
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:55,599
Speaker 21: seen that equate to like better rebounding or really good

1809
01:28:55,640 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 21: defense yet. So I'm still waiting to see what that

1810
01:28:58,320 --> 01:28:58,800
Speaker 21: strength is.

1811
01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:02,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, it feels like the Big East is gonna be

1812
01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:06,200
Speaker 4: the non league schedule is what it is, so to speak.

1813
01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:11,040
Speaker 2: It is last place in the Big East possible.

1814
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:13,040
Speaker 9: I think it's in play.

1815
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:13,240
Speaker 10: Now.

1816
01:29:13,240 --> 01:29:15,760
Speaker 21: Here's the one thing where we might be and I

1817
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:17,960
Speaker 21: might be a little off and overblowing how much they

1818
01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:20,280
Speaker 21: could struggle. Is I think seven through eleven in the

1819
01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:21,960
Speaker 21: Big East is all gonna be pretty bad, right. I

1820
01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:23,439
Speaker 21: think a lot of those schools were in a similar

1821
01:29:23,439 --> 01:29:25,800
Speaker 21: spot last year during the transfer portal, so and a

1822
01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:27,799
Speaker 21: lot of them were turning over a lot of their rosters.

1823
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:30,479
Speaker 21: So they're all in a spot where who knows what

1824
01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:33,040
Speaker 21: they're gonna look like, and it could be pretty bad

1825
01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:34,120
Speaker 21: at the bottom of the conference.

1826
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:35,240
Speaker 9: So maybe they'll pick.

1827
01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:37,639
Speaker 21: Up a few more wins along the way in conference

1828
01:29:37,680 --> 01:29:40,040
Speaker 21: play than you might otherwise think a team like this

1829
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:42,840
Speaker 21: would in the Big East. Right, But yeah, it's I

1830
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:44,760
Speaker 21: think it's in play that they could be anywhere from

1831
01:29:44,880 --> 01:29:46,439
Speaker 21: like eight to eleven in this conference.

1832
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:47,679
Speaker 2: Why are you gonna make people mad?

1833
01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:48,440
Speaker 9: Chad?

1834
01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:51,120
Speaker 13: I think this has a chance to be a pretty

1835
01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:54,839
Speaker 13: good team. But when I start looking at the Big twelve,

1836
01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:57,160
Speaker 13: where do they fit?

1837
01:29:57,360 --> 01:29:58,439
Speaker 9: Yeah? I mean.

1838
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:04,400
Speaker 13: Season Paul, they were picked eighth, eighth, eighth, is you're

1839
01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:08,599
Speaker 13: squarely on the bubble with very very little margin for error.

1840
01:30:09,200 --> 01:30:10,000
Speaker 9: I think you could.

1841
01:30:10,080 --> 01:30:12,679
Speaker 13: I think I would probably have had them seventh ahead

1842
01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:16,479
Speaker 13: of Baylor, because I don't know that I love Baylor's roster.

1843
01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:19,040
Speaker 13: I think I like Cincinnati's roster a little bit more. Right,

1844
01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:21,440
Speaker 13: when Dan Skilling scores twenty four against.

1845
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:24,960
Speaker 9: Him, that's gonna happen.

1846
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:27,000
Speaker 2: This is how my life works.

1847
01:30:27,439 --> 01:30:31,760
Speaker 13: You're gonna watch vintage Dan Skillings, Yes at Fifth Third Arena. Yes,

1848
01:30:33,400 --> 01:30:37,120
Speaker 13: But they have against those seven teams, they have eight games,

1849
01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:42,679
Speaker 13: four on the road, four at home. How many Houston,

1850
01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:50,679
Speaker 13: Kansas BYU Iowa State, Arizona? You know of that group,

1851
01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:54,240
Speaker 13: what are you confident thinking their record will be in

1852
01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:56,560
Speaker 13: those eight games?

1853
01:30:57,320 --> 01:31:00,160
Speaker 9: Right? And that's this is an audio.

1854
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:03,679
Speaker 2: I don't know how to describe the face I just made.

1855
01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:07,360
Speaker 13: That's where I'm at right, Like, I think it's got

1856
01:31:07,400 --> 01:31:09,360
Speaker 13: a chance to be a pretty good team. The only

1857
01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:14,719
Speaker 13: thing that has me maybe a little feeling a little

1858
01:31:14,760 --> 01:31:17,599
Speaker 13: different than the past couple of years on that front.

1859
01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:21,400
Speaker 13: A lot more freshmen oriented at the top of the

1860
01:31:21,400 --> 01:31:24,840
Speaker 13: Big twelve this year, so there's gonna be some a

1861
01:31:24,880 --> 01:31:28,880
Speaker 13: little bit more instability than we've seen with these veteran

1862
01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:32,799
Speaker 13: you know rosters that Like, there's teams in the NBA

1863
01:31:32,960 --> 01:31:37,360
Speaker 13: that are younger than Houston, so that'll maybe add a

1864
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:40,920
Speaker 13: little bit of variance. But if they're in that six, seven,

1865
01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:46,519
Speaker 13: eight range, you're walking a tightrope. You know, you've got

1866
01:31:46,520 --> 01:31:50,559
Speaker 13: to thread a pretty tight needle. And I don't see

1867
01:31:51,520 --> 01:31:55,280
Speaker 13: a roster that I think you two and six, if

1868
01:31:55,320 --> 01:31:57,120
Speaker 13: you go two and two at home and you lose

1869
01:31:57,160 --> 01:32:00,439
Speaker 13: the four road games, if you feel okay, two and

1870
01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:03,880
Speaker 13: six in those eight upper echelon games, and then you've

1871
01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:07,200
Speaker 13: got ten games, yeah to win seven right, and half

1872
01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:08,880
Speaker 13: of them on the road and half of them.

1873
01:32:08,720 --> 01:32:09,240
Speaker 9: On the road.

1874
01:32:09,400 --> 01:32:13,000
Speaker 13: So I'm looking at it though, and I'm kind of

1875
01:32:13,720 --> 01:32:16,880
Speaker 13: squinting my eyes and going, if this goes really well,

1876
01:32:18,080 --> 01:32:21,320
Speaker 13: there might be a really tight rope to walk here

1877
01:32:21,439 --> 01:32:22,400
Speaker 13: for this roster.

1878
01:32:22,479 --> 01:32:25,920
Speaker 2: And that's if it goes really well. Yeah. How much

1879
01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:27,560
Speaker 2: are they gonna miss Jalen Haynes.

1880
01:32:27,920 --> 01:32:28,439
Speaker 9: Quite a bit?

1881
01:32:28,479 --> 01:32:32,680
Speaker 13: Because I think he gave them some of that physicality

1882
01:32:32,720 --> 01:32:34,080
Speaker 13: that last year's team was missing.

1883
01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:35,040
Speaker 9: Inside.

1884
01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:38,559
Speaker 13: You're gonna have it on the perimeter with with Buck Harris,

1885
01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:42,040
Speaker 13: You're gonna have it with Kirkers. It's just a little

1886
01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:44,759
Speaker 13: toughness that they didn't have last year. I thought Jalen

1887
01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:48,400
Speaker 13: Haynes was that guy in the interior. I like bobon Miller,

1888
01:32:48,479 --> 01:32:53,559
Speaker 13: I like Mustapha Chom. Nobody's gonna be confused that we're

1889
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:57,080
Speaker 13: not gonna watch the gaming. Guy's a junkyard dog, right like,

1890
01:32:57,439 --> 01:33:01,920
Speaker 13: So Jalen Haynes was kind of that guy. So I

1891
01:33:01,960 --> 01:33:03,760
Speaker 13: do think there's a misconception. I think a lot of

1892
01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:07,840
Speaker 13: people saw Jalen Haynes's size and thought he was like Danny.

1893
01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:10,280
Speaker 2: Fordson right basket. That's not his game.

1894
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:13,280
Speaker 13: A lot of this game is catch up fifteen feet,

1895
01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:19,240
Speaker 13: turn and face pass drive. Take advantage of his size

1896
01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:22,840
Speaker 13: is a mismatch, but it's not gonna be like this

1897
01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:25,240
Speaker 13: big loss in back to the basket scoring because I

1898
01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:27,400
Speaker 13: don't think you would have gotten a little bit of

1899
01:33:27,439 --> 01:33:30,599
Speaker 13: that from him. But in watching his game, I never

1900
01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:34,000
Speaker 13: walked away thinking that's a guy that you just duck in,

1901
01:33:34,200 --> 01:33:36,599
Speaker 13: have him put his hand up, throw it to him

1902
01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:38,759
Speaker 13: and he's gonna put a move and lay.

1903
01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:41,559
Speaker 9: It off the backboard. That that wasn't his game.

1904
01:33:41,600 --> 01:33:45,160
Speaker 13: But they're gonna miss him because offensively, he was the

1905
01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:49,880
Speaker 13: most offensively advanced big on the roster. And now you're

1906
01:33:49,920 --> 01:33:53,559
Speaker 13: playing on a team that I don't think it's gonna

1907
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:57,280
Speaker 13: be great offensively, Like if they're top forty offensively, I

1908
01:33:57,280 --> 01:34:00,240
Speaker 13: think that's a pretty good year. I don't think they're

1909
01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:02,160
Speaker 13: going to be a top twenty offense.

1910
01:34:02,439 --> 01:34:03,760
Speaker 2: I think you're making me mad.

1911
01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:06,639
Speaker 13: Quite frankly, That's kind of what I was getting at

1912
01:34:06,680 --> 01:34:10,520
Speaker 13: when I said.

1913
01:34:09,520 --> 01:34:11,960
Speaker 4: Is he gonna play this year? I mean, is there

1914
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:15,280
Speaker 4: a school of thought that suggests it's a possibility that

1915
01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:18,320
Speaker 4: he comes back. It's a possibility he misses the whole year.

1916
01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:21,559
Speaker 4: There's a possibility for a red shirt. But he's already played.

1917
01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:24,120
Speaker 13: This is his fifth year of college basketball, so he

1918
01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:26,719
Speaker 13: would need a waiver that you can't get until after

1919
01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:29,960
Speaker 13: the season. So does he risk like if he can

1920
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:33,000
Speaker 13: come back for the final six weeks of the season,

1921
01:34:34,439 --> 01:34:37,439
Speaker 13: does he decide I need to because I don't. I

1922
01:34:37,479 --> 01:34:40,880
Speaker 13: can't bet on the n C doua a granting me

1923
01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:42,480
Speaker 13: a six year of eligibility.

1924
01:34:43,760 --> 01:34:46,360
Speaker 22: You want me to leave, I want you to stop talking.

1925
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:53,240
Speaker 22: I'm sorry, I get it. Football's eight seven and one.

1926
01:34:53,320 --> 01:34:55,479
Speaker 22: Football is good. Yeah, football is good. Awesome.

1927
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:59,240
Speaker 4: We're just overflowing with optimism on the annual Ched and

1928
01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:02,880
Speaker 4: Rick College Basketball Spectacular. Get hell, what five o'clock in

1929
01:35:02,880 --> 01:35:05,559
Speaker 4: the morning Sunday? We are supposed to land at five

1930
01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:08,880
Speaker 4: thirty and Tony and I. Tony and I will be

1931
01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:10,960
Speaker 4: on the air from the Holy Grail at nine am.

1932
01:35:11,520 --> 01:35:14,759
Speaker 4: This is because the daylight savings kills us this go round,

1933
01:35:14,840 --> 01:35:17,360
Speaker 4: because we did this. They played Colorado last year. Right,

1934
01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:20,600
Speaker 4: we landed at seven, Tony and I stopped off. I

1935
01:35:20,600 --> 01:35:25,479
Speaker 4: got donuts, Buttermilk Pike Dunkin Donuts went to the Holy Grail. Right,

1936
01:35:25,520 --> 01:35:28,720
Speaker 4: we could plow through just on the air till eleven thirty.

1937
01:35:28,760 --> 01:35:32,600
Speaker 4: This is an earlier arrival because of daylight savings. So

1938
01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:35,120
Speaker 4: now five thirty shows at nine. If I go home

1939
01:35:35,560 --> 01:35:38,680
Speaker 4: and sleep for an hour, that's not good. Uh and

1940
01:35:38,720 --> 01:35:39,479
Speaker 4: so what do I do?

1941
01:35:39,840 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 9: Sleep in your car for an hour?

1942
01:35:41,200 --> 01:35:41,360
Speaker 10: Oh?

1943
01:35:41,439 --> 01:35:44,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good idea. Yeah. So no, I'm not

1944
01:35:44,160 --> 01:35:45,160
Speaker 2: sleeping on my kite.

1945
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:48,519
Speaker 9: Where it's in the parking garage downtown. It's safe.

1946
01:35:49,520 --> 01:35:51,240
Speaker 4: I just I don't want to sleep in my car.

1947
01:35:51,479 --> 01:35:53,080
Speaker 4: So I think I'm going to go to the Anchor

1948
01:35:53,120 --> 01:35:53,679
Speaker 4: bar and grill.

1949
01:35:54,560 --> 01:35:55,120
Speaker 9: Sit down.

1950
01:35:55,200 --> 01:35:58,800
Speaker 4: We made but we never closed. I don't think Tony

1951
01:35:58,840 --> 01:36:01,479
Speaker 4: has been. So that's my liminary plan on Sunday morning.

1952
01:36:01,479 --> 01:36:06,080
Speaker 9: The only problem is they do close now they do. Yeah,

1953
01:36:06,360 --> 01:36:08,200
Speaker 9: I don't know if they've quit doing that, But you know,

1954
01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:09,280
Speaker 9: COVID ruined everything.

1955
01:36:09,320 --> 01:36:11,040
Speaker 2: They're not twenty four hours anymore.

1956
01:36:11,439 --> 01:36:11,559
Speaker 10: Not.

Speaker 17: that's a pretty significant injury. You know, after the game

2001
01:38:10,040 --> 01:38:12,599
Speaker 17: he said it didn't hurt much. Well, he went back

2002
01:38:12,600 --> 01:38:14,080
Speaker 17: to the locker room, probably got it shot up, so

2003
01:38:14,160 --> 01:38:16,080
Speaker 17: you're come in for that final series. I'm guessing it

2004
01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:18,880
Speaker 17: didn't hurt much, and then Monday comes along and ooh boy,

2005
01:38:18,920 --> 01:38:22,200
Speaker 17: it hurts a lot. Yeah, he doesn't go tomorrow. I

2006
01:38:22,240 --> 01:38:25,599
Speaker 17: can't imagine he plays. I know Zach left open today

2007
01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:27,479
Speaker 17: the possibility that, you know, he doesn't need any reps

2008
01:38:27,520 --> 01:38:29,360
Speaker 17: that he could. He's healthy enough, he can show up

2009
01:38:29,400 --> 01:38:32,920
Speaker 17: on Sunday and play. And that's probably true if he's healthy.

2010
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:34,560
Speaker 17: I just don't think that's gonna be a possible. I

2011
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:35,559
Speaker 17: think it's a real long shot.

2012
01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:38,080
Speaker 4: So, Okay, they have a bye after this game. Is

2013
01:38:38,120 --> 01:38:40,920
Speaker 4: this something that could keep him out possibly multiple weeks?

2014
01:38:42,160 --> 01:38:43,439
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean this is an injury that can be

2015
01:38:43,479 --> 01:38:45,920
Speaker 17: really significant and it can also be short term. It's

2016
01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:49,040
Speaker 17: it's a weird thing, you know. I think the bye

2017
01:38:49,120 --> 01:38:53,599
Speaker 17: week probably helps soften that blow. If you can hit

2018
01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:56,360
Speaker 17: this week, it's goofy this sound you can win that

2019
01:38:56,520 --> 01:38:59,080
Speaker 17: this week. Yeah, the bye you could actually go to

2020
01:38:59,120 --> 01:39:01,960
Speaker 17: Pittsburgh if they're four and you're four and five and

2021
01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:04,240
Speaker 17: a chance to sweep them to take over first place

2022
01:39:04,280 --> 01:39:06,880
Speaker 17: in this division. That's probably not logical because there's no

2023
01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:09,760
Speaker 17: guarantee they win this weekend, especially when you can't beat

2024
01:39:09,800 --> 01:39:12,920
Speaker 17: the awful Jets, but it's on the table. It's it's

2025
01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:15,320
Speaker 17: such a goofy season, especially in this division, and I

2026
01:39:15,400 --> 01:39:17,920
Speaker 17: think he gets goofier because Baltimore is getting healthier.

2027
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:20,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I think Baltimore is gonna win it.

2028
01:39:20,200 --> 01:39:22,479
Speaker 4: And I'm not even sure it's necessarily gonna be close,

2029
01:39:23,479 --> 01:39:25,840
Speaker 4: maybe not go from one to five to to run

2030
01:39:25,840 --> 01:39:28,400
Speaker 4: it away with the thing. They put two guys on

2031
01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:32,720
Speaker 4: ir yesterday and let go of Mike Panell. Are Are

2032
01:39:32,720 --> 01:39:34,799
Speaker 4: they just gonna play with fifty guys moving forward.

2033
01:39:36,200 --> 01:39:38,240
Speaker 17: No, They're gonna probably bring some guys up in the practice.

2034
01:39:38,479 --> 01:39:39,960
Speaker 17: I think you're in that mode of let's see what

2035
01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:43,880
Speaker 17: we've got here. You know, Mike Panell was actually a

2036
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:46,960
Speaker 17: rotational tackle. You know, maybe that means we see mor

2037
01:39:47,040 --> 01:39:47,960
Speaker 17: McKinley Jackson.

2038
01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:48,280
Speaker 10: Oh.

2039
01:39:49,439 --> 01:39:51,439
Speaker 17: I think he's been active for one game this season.

2040
01:39:51,560 --> 01:39:53,280
Speaker 17: It's pretty good spot for a third round pick from

2041
01:39:53,320 --> 01:39:54,639
Speaker 17: last year and only playing one game.

2042
01:39:54,720 --> 01:39:54,880
Speaker 14: Oh.

2043
01:39:54,920 --> 01:39:57,360
Speaker 17: Meanwhile, the other third round pick, the wide receivers Remain Burton,

2044
01:39:57,360 --> 01:40:00,720
Speaker 17: hasn't been active for a single game. Okay, so things

2045
01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:03,320
Speaker 17: are going well in that department. But yeah, I'm guessing

2046
01:40:03,360 --> 01:40:05,599
Speaker 17: it means probably some more playing time for Mchainley because

2047
01:40:05,800 --> 01:40:07,960
Speaker 17: at some point he drafted him in the third round.

2048
01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:08,800
Speaker 14: Gotta see what you got.

2049
01:40:08,960 --> 01:40:11,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, Zach Taylor says he needs leaders on defense.

2050
01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:12,760
Speaker 2: Who are they supposed to be?

2051
01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:16,240
Speaker 17: I think it's Barrett Carter, believe or not. I really

2052
01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:18,720
Speaker 17: think they think he can step into a leadership role.

2053
01:40:18,760 --> 01:40:22,519
Speaker 17: Except the problem is he diagnosed a run play really

2054
01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:24,960
Speaker 17: really well and got right into the bat gap, and

2055
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:27,040
Speaker 17: here comes a running back at him full speed, and

2056
01:40:27,080 --> 01:40:28,760
Speaker 17: it was going to be a one yard game, maybe

2057
01:40:28,840 --> 01:40:30,719
Speaker 17: a no yard game, maybe even a one yard loss

2058
01:40:30,720 --> 01:40:34,240
Speaker 17: depending on where he dackledomat, except for one small problem.

2059
01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:36,720
Speaker 17: He didn't tackle the guy and he's spit it out

2060
01:40:36,720 --> 01:40:39,120
Speaker 17: for a fifty yard run. But answer your question, I

2061
01:40:39,120 --> 01:40:42,599
Speaker 17: do believe they think Barrett Carter has leadership capabilities, and

2062
01:40:43,360 --> 01:40:45,720
Speaker 17: as long as he starts performing at a level where

2063
01:40:45,760 --> 01:40:47,920
Speaker 17: he's making tackles on a consistent basis, I think he

2064
01:40:47,960 --> 01:40:49,120
Speaker 17: can become that leader. I do.

2065
01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:54,080
Speaker 4: The fan base is as upset with Duke Tobin as

2066
01:40:54,120 --> 01:40:57,519
Speaker 4: I think it has ever been, and understandably so, because

2067
01:40:57,600 --> 01:41:00,280
Speaker 4: he keeps drafting players who can help. Do you think

2068
01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:02,960
Speaker 4: he is standing on ice that is at all starting

2069
01:41:02,960 --> 01:41:03,439
Speaker 4: to crack?

2070
01:41:04,960 --> 01:41:06,240
Speaker 17: Mo, do you know this organization?

2071
01:41:06,320 --> 01:41:09,640
Speaker 2: Now, come on, I had to ask it right sometimes,

2072
01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:10,400
Speaker 2: and you know this.

2073
01:41:10,840 --> 01:41:13,040
Speaker 4: You have to ask a question you know the answer to,

2074
01:41:13,160 --> 01:41:15,320
Speaker 4: but you have to throw it out there because you're

2075
01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:15,800
Speaker 4: supposed to.

2076
01:41:16,040 --> 01:41:18,720
Speaker 17: That's a fair point. So no, I think he should be.

2077
01:41:18,800 --> 01:41:21,080
Speaker 17: So I did the exercise. I think maybe a couple

2078
01:41:21,120 --> 01:41:22,479
Speaker 17: others on the beat have done this. I just did

2079
01:41:22,520 --> 01:41:25,000
Speaker 17: it today. It hasn't published yet and it's going up tomorrow.

2080
01:41:25,160 --> 01:41:27,719
Speaker 17: Where I redrafted the first three rounds for this team

2081
01:41:27,760 --> 01:41:29,439
Speaker 17: this year, and it really wasn't even hard to do,

2082
01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:32,000
Speaker 17: Like these were guys talked about in those rounds and

2083
01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:34,439
Speaker 17: good reasons for the Bengals taking him on when it happened.

2084
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:37,960
Speaker 17: So instead of Shamar Stewart, who's had one assisted tackle

2085
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:40,240
Speaker 17: in sixty two defensive snaps over the last two games,

2086
01:41:40,320 --> 01:41:43,120
Speaker 17: that's some good production. Huh, one assisted tackle where you

2087
01:41:43,120 --> 01:41:45,599
Speaker 17: fall into a pile. Good for you, man, that's great work.

2088
01:41:46,320 --> 01:41:48,840
Speaker 17: Instead of him in the first round, how about Gid Campbell,

2089
01:41:48,840 --> 01:41:51,200
Speaker 17: who's been one of the best linebackers in the entire

2090
01:41:51,280 --> 01:41:53,640
Speaker 17: NFL as a rookie sit in the second round you

2091
01:41:53,680 --> 01:41:56,320
Speaker 17: needed a guard, because he drafted a guard. Tate Ratlie

2092
01:41:56,320 --> 01:41:58,040
Speaker 17: was available. How about you go that route set of

2093
01:41:58,080 --> 01:42:00,439
Speaker 17: Demetrius Knight, because you've already gone the line back out.

2094
01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:02,200
Speaker 17: And then how about in the third round, a guy

2095
01:42:02,200 --> 01:42:04,320
Speaker 17: who played for al Golden Notre Dame is having a

2096
01:42:04,360 --> 01:42:07,000
Speaker 17: fine rookie season with the Atlanta Falcons. How about Vaaner

2097
01:42:07,080 --> 01:42:09,280
Speaker 17: watching the third round? How hard is that? It wasn't

2098
01:42:09,280 --> 01:42:11,680
Speaker 17: even hard to do that. It was common sensical. It

2099
01:42:11,760 --> 01:42:13,320
Speaker 17: said you had to be the smartest ones in the

2100
01:42:13,400 --> 01:42:15,680
Speaker 17: room and go Yeah, I know, Shamar Show doesn't do

2101
01:42:15,720 --> 01:42:18,120
Speaker 17: anything other than look good, but let's go ahead and

2102
01:42:18,200 --> 01:42:20,759
Speaker 17: take him anyway, because he's got great traits. Okay, great

2103
01:42:21,080 --> 01:42:24,439
Speaker 17: one assisted tackle in the last sixty two defensive snaps.

2104
01:42:24,680 --> 01:42:26,479
Speaker 17: I could fall on a pile and get that stat

2105
01:42:26,520 --> 01:42:26,840
Speaker 17: I could.

2106
01:42:27,400 --> 01:42:31,160
Speaker 2: I'd like to see that, actually, but yeah it would hurt.

2107
01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:34,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, Well, thanks for bringing a good cheer

2108
01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:35,919
Speaker 4: to a rough situation.

2109
01:42:36,360 --> 01:42:38,040
Speaker 2: We'll talk next week. Thank you as always.

2110
01:42:38,320 --> 01:42:40,880
Speaker 14: You bet go big Blue.

2111
01:42:41,360 --> 01:42:42,040
Speaker 2: That's our guy.

2112
01:42:42,760 --> 01:42:45,599
Speaker 4: Richard Skinner from Local twelve and Local twelve dot com

2113
01:42:45,640 --> 01:42:48,759
Speaker 4: also the hosts of the Skinny Podcast with Rick Boring,

2114
01:42:48,800 --> 01:42:50,280
Speaker 4: which I may submit a question.

2115
01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:51,360
Speaker 9: Is it Rick the host?

2116
01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:52,759
Speaker 2: Rick is the host?

2117
01:42:52,840 --> 01:42:56,559
Speaker 4: It's confusing it's named after Skinny, but Rick sort of

2118
01:42:56,640 --> 01:42:58,400
Speaker 4: does the ins and outs and sets up all the

2119
01:42:58,400 --> 01:42:59,880
Speaker 4: breaks and topics.

2120
01:42:59,439 --> 01:43:01,680
Speaker 21: Brings us in start and ends it too. Yeah, it's

2121
01:43:01,680 --> 01:43:02,920
Speaker 21: a very confusing situation.

2122
01:43:03,120 --> 01:43:04,639
Speaker 2: Might I might submit a question this week?

2123
01:43:05,360 --> 01:43:07,200
Speaker 9: It's been a while. Yeah, yeah, all right, I got

2124
01:43:07,240 --> 01:43:07,680
Speaker 9: something for you.

2125
01:43:07,840 --> 01:43:11,560
Speaker 13: Yeah, y'all, reporters need to start looking at who represents

2126
01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:15,040
Speaker 13: these people. Woodward's agent, Kelly's agent, the Texas A and

2127
01:43:15,120 --> 01:43:18,280
Speaker 13: m coaches agent. They are the same agent. This is ridiculous.

2128
01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:21,200
Speaker 13: Lawyers would be disbarred the way these agents act. It's

2129
01:43:21,200 --> 01:43:24,600
Speaker 13: time for the NCAA to put guardrails. We don't need guardrails.

2130
01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:27,120
Speaker 13: A big billionaires want to spend money, no problem. But

2131
01:43:27,160 --> 01:43:29,320
Speaker 13: if I got to go find fifty three million dollars

2132
01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:31,479
Speaker 13: from the state, it's not going to be pleasant.

2133
01:43:31,560 --> 01:43:33,120
Speaker 2: That's the governor of Louisiana.

2134
01:43:33,200 --> 01:43:34,560
Speaker 9: Governor of Louisiana.

2135
01:43:35,840 --> 01:43:37,120
Speaker 2: God would admit. He's not wrong.

2136
01:43:37,240 --> 01:43:40,120
Speaker 9: He's not kind of said what needed to be said.

2137
01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:41,559
Speaker 2: That's all right.

2138

Speaker 2: Are the Norths going to be any good?

2178
01:45:55,439 --> 01:45:58,519
Speaker 21: It's another team where it's like when you're replacing nine

2179
01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:00,840
Speaker 21: guys on your roster and turned over a lot, and

2180
01:46:00,880 --> 01:46:02,479
Speaker 21: the rest of the league is doing the same thing.

2181
01:46:02,760 --> 01:46:06,040
Speaker 21: It's tough to say, but I think they've got they've

2182
01:46:06,080 --> 01:46:07,719
Speaker 21: got a chance to be pretty good in the Horizon

2183
01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:08,800
Speaker 21: League towards the top.

2184
01:46:09,240 --> 01:46:10,599
Speaker 2: A lot of new guys, a lot of guys from

2185
01:46:10,640 --> 01:46:11,240
Speaker 2: other countries.

2186
01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:14,120
Speaker 21: Yeah, it's a it's a really interesting group of guys,

2187
01:46:14,120 --> 01:46:16,280
Speaker 21: but fun group to be around. Really mature because some

2188
01:46:16,280 --> 01:46:18,040
Speaker 21: of those guys, for like Ethan Elliot, who they brought

2189
01:46:18,040 --> 01:46:20,360
Speaker 21: over from Australia, is gonna play point guard. Just a

2190
01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:23,920
Speaker 21: super mature kid is into his twenties already, and it's

2191
01:46:23,960 --> 01:46:25,839
Speaker 21: a little bit different when guys are trying to advance

2192
01:46:25,880 --> 01:46:27,519
Speaker 21: their professional careers already.

2193
01:46:27,560 --> 01:46:30,439
Speaker 9: You know, I wasn't super mature in my twenties.

2194
01:46:31,040 --> 01:46:34,240
Speaker 2: And that's super mature in my forties. But the North

2195
01:46:34,720 --> 01:46:35,280
Speaker 2: there's good.

2196
01:46:35,520 --> 01:46:38,960
Speaker 13: Rick seems pretty balanced now. He's done a good job

2197
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:40,280
Speaker 13: coming out of it. I don't think you and I

2198
01:46:40,320 --> 01:46:41,720
Speaker 13: ever grew up.

2199
01:46:41,760 --> 01:46:44,400
Speaker 4: I think, well, he did spend the summer eating taco

2200
01:46:44,439 --> 01:46:48,960
Speaker 4: bell for thirty one consecutive days. Maturity, that's a word

2201
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:50,759
Speaker 4: you could use, intestinal maturity.

2202
01:46:52,920 --> 01:46:54,200
Speaker 2: What did that do to your body?

2203
01:46:54,360 --> 01:46:54,679
Speaker 9: Nothing?

2204
01:46:54,800 --> 01:46:57,920
Speaker 21: I was completely fine. It's what is talk about. It's meat,

2205
01:46:58,120 --> 01:47:00,599
Speaker 21: cheese and a tortilla. Why do people act like it's.

2206
01:47:00,720 --> 01:47:03,200
Speaker 2: Twenty one straight days if anything is not good?

2207
01:47:03,720 --> 01:47:06,880
Speaker 9: If I mean, what do you normally eat at home?

2208
01:47:08,080 --> 01:47:10,160
Speaker 9: Meat cheese, some bread?

2209
01:47:10,320 --> 01:47:11,320
Speaker 2: I guess so yeah.

2210
01:47:11,320 --> 01:47:14,160
Speaker 21: I mean, look, people, if taco bell is ruining your stomach,

2211
01:47:14,439 --> 01:47:15,800
Speaker 21: you've got bigger problems than time.

2212
01:47:15,880 --> 01:47:16,439
Speaker 2: Did you go?

2213
01:47:16,680 --> 01:47:19,320
Speaker 4: How many times? Like how many different taco bells did

2214
01:47:19,360 --> 01:47:21,200
Speaker 4: you Visit? Was that the same one?

2215
01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:23,600
Speaker 2: It was mostly the Newport one, so they got to

2216
01:47:23,640 --> 01:47:23,800
Speaker 2: know you.

2217
01:47:26,040 --> 01:47:27,360
Speaker 9: I was getting a little worried about that.

2218
01:47:27,560 --> 01:47:29,400
Speaker 21: But I think they turn over employees so much as

2219
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:30,200
Speaker 21: soccer bells that it's not.

2220
01:47:30,160 --> 01:47:32,120
Speaker 2: Why why did you stop at thirty one? Then why

2221
01:47:32,160 --> 01:47:32,840
Speaker 2: not extend it?

2222
01:47:33,200 --> 01:47:35,439
Speaker 21: I said, I could do that for an entire year.

2223
01:47:35,600 --> 01:47:38,679
Speaker 21: The only problem is basketball season. It becomes inconvenient because

2224
01:47:38,720 --> 01:47:40,439
Speaker 21: you're sometimes in a hotel that doesn't have a Taco

2225
01:47:40,439 --> 01:47:42,719
Speaker 21: bell anywhere nearby, and you don't have a car. And okay,

2226
01:47:43,240 --> 01:47:45,040
Speaker 21: I'm not spending forty dollars on a door dash for

2227
01:47:45,120 --> 01:47:48,479
Speaker 21: taco bell. That's the issue. Okay, fair, But I could

2228
01:47:48,520 --> 01:47:50,160
Speaker 21: do that for an entire year, seriously.

2229
01:47:49,840 --> 01:47:54,880
Speaker 2: Okay, fair, enough. Yeah, very good. So we don't think

2230
01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:56,479
Speaker 2: the Musketeers are going to be very good.

2231
01:47:56,920 --> 01:47:58,280
Speaker 9: I think it's going to be a roughie.

2232
01:47:58,360 --> 01:47:59,960
Speaker 4: And we don't think the Bearcats are going to be

2233
01:48:00,040 --> 01:48:02,920
Speaker 4: as good as everybody expects, because I think there's an

2234
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:05,320
Speaker 4: expectation like, these guys are going to be awesome.

2235
01:48:05,439 --> 01:48:08,599
Speaker 13: Here's the problem. They can be good and they're still

2236
01:48:08,640 --> 01:48:13,080
Speaker 13: going to be walking this tightrope. Yeah, there's nothing in

2237
01:48:13,120 --> 01:48:16,200
Speaker 13: my brain that says in that eight game window of

2238
01:48:16,640 --> 01:48:18,360
Speaker 13: that they're going to go four and four. Yeah, if

2239
01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:19,880
Speaker 13: you told me they were going to go four and four,

2240
01:48:19,920 --> 01:48:21,840
Speaker 13: I'd say they're going to have a really good year.

2241
01:48:23,520 --> 01:48:25,960
Speaker 9: I'm coming up two and six, three and five.

2242
01:48:26,240 --> 01:48:29,000
Speaker 13: Like best case scenario, that means you got to go

2243
01:48:29,640 --> 01:48:32,320
Speaker 13: six and ten, seven and ten and all the other

2244
01:48:32,439 --> 01:48:34,200
Speaker 13: big twelve games.

2245
01:48:35,520 --> 01:48:37,840
Speaker 4: That's a tall task, even if you're having a good year.

2246
01:48:38,240 --> 01:48:41,760
Speaker 4: So we've talked about this. It feels like last year,

2247
01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:45,320
Speaker 4: accumulate talent, figure it out. This year, built a roster, right,

2248
01:48:45,320 --> 01:48:47,320
Speaker 4: built a roster. Find guys who fits.

2249
01:48:47,560 --> 01:48:51,360
Speaker 13: Got guards, you've got wings, you've got different kinds of forwards,

2250
01:48:51,400 --> 01:48:52,320
Speaker 13: you've got centers.

2251
01:48:52,360 --> 01:48:54,280
Speaker 2: So, yeah, who is their best player going to be?

2252
01:48:55,240 --> 01:49:00,680
Speaker 13: I think if they're going to be tournament good, I

2253
01:49:00,720 --> 01:49:03,840
Speaker 13: think their best player needs to be bobbon Miller because

2254
01:49:03,880 --> 01:49:08,360
Speaker 13: he's got he can do the most things. Can play defense,

2255
01:49:08,680 --> 01:49:13,800
Speaker 13: can rebound, can shoot, can pass, can handle the ball

2256
01:49:13,840 --> 01:49:17,599
Speaker 13: pretty well like I think he is. They will go

2257
01:49:17,680 --> 01:49:21,839
Speaker 13: as far as his upside allows. Need to make bucket,

2258
01:49:21,880 --> 01:49:24,760
Speaker 13: He'll get it for you. I don't know that I'm

2259
01:49:25,240 --> 01:49:29,800
Speaker 13: that's more of a guard thing, yeah, typically, but need

2260
01:49:29,840 --> 01:49:32,120
Speaker 13: to get a big rebound, need to maybe stop a run,

2261
01:49:32,640 --> 01:49:35,000
Speaker 13: you can go to him. I don't know in the

2262
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:37,679
Speaker 13: final two minutes if I'm isolating going one to four

2263
01:49:37,720 --> 01:49:39,760
Speaker 13: flat and throwing a ball to Bob on Miller per se.

2264
01:49:40,439 --> 01:49:43,120
Speaker 13: But I think just because of the number of things

2265
01:49:43,160 --> 01:49:48,000
Speaker 13: he has the potential to do well, he's the key. Now,

2266
01:49:48,920 --> 01:49:50,960
Speaker 13: there was an NBA scout friend of mine that was

2267
01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:54,920
Speaker 13: a practice and he said, look, Bob, I was gonna

2268
01:49:54,960 --> 01:49:58,040
Speaker 13: have thirteen and six at halftime, and everybody's gonna be

2269
01:49:58,040 --> 01:49:59,640
Speaker 13: flipping out about how awesome he is.

2270
01:50:00,160 --> 01:50:08,960
Speaker 9: He's going to end with fifteen and seven. And this

2271
01:50:09,439 --> 01:50:09,720
Speaker 9: is a.

2272
01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:13,840
Speaker 13: Scout from a prominent NBA franchise that is near and

2273
01:50:13,880 --> 01:50:14,879
Speaker 13: dear to Mo's heart.

2274
01:50:15,200 --> 01:50:19,760
Speaker 4: Is the next guy potentially, so well, we're not going

2275
01:50:19,840 --> 01:50:21,400
Speaker 4: to be in the lottery, but we'll take him with.

2276
01:50:21,479 --> 01:50:24,920
Speaker 13: Loves Mustapha Chom though Okay loves him. I'm in his

2277
01:50:25,200 --> 01:50:28,479
Speaker 13: in his I think like late first early second round.

2278
01:50:28,400 --> 01:50:30,160
Speaker 4: So some of the UCF guys were here for the

2279
01:50:30,200 --> 01:50:34,599
Speaker 4: football game and like still not they pish, They're.

2280
01:50:34,400 --> 01:50:36,160
Speaker 9: Pissed, they're pissed.

2281
01:50:36,200 --> 01:50:39,519
Speaker 2: He he's good, He's very good. Who's Xavier's best player

2282
01:50:39,640 --> 01:50:40,000
Speaker 2: going to be?

2283
01:50:40,680 --> 01:50:43,200
Speaker 9: That's another really good question. I think a lot of

2284
01:50:43,280 --> 01:50:44,639
Speaker 9: questions with no answers today.

2285
01:50:44,840 --> 01:50:46,800
Speaker 21: That's the problem when you think about this team and

2286
01:50:46,800 --> 01:50:49,000
Speaker 21: why I have them losing a lot more games than

2287
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:51,360
Speaker 21: they're winning, because I there's a ton of questions and

2288
01:50:51,400 --> 01:50:53,320
Speaker 21: I don't see clear answers to any of them. I think,

2289
01:50:53,680 --> 01:50:56,080
Speaker 21: you know, Malik mesina More looks to be the best

2290
01:50:56,120 --> 01:50:59,560
Speaker 21: offensive player and score to me, but I think overall,

2291
01:51:00,120 --> 01:51:03,520
Speaker 21: Trey Carroll early on, at least through the first exhibition

2292
01:51:03,640 --> 01:51:05,080
Speaker 21: and scrimmage and some of what we saw in the

2293
01:51:05,080 --> 01:51:07,680
Speaker 21: preseason looks to be the best all around player. And

2294
01:51:07,720 --> 01:51:10,800
Speaker 21: I think what he does well, which is play really hard,

2295
01:51:10,960 --> 01:51:14,360
Speaker 21: pursue the ball, get fouled, make some shots, play efficiently

2296
01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:17,680
Speaker 21: on offense. You can rely on that with more consistency,

2297
01:51:17,920 --> 01:51:19,320
Speaker 21: then maybe you can rely on some of the other

2298
01:51:19,360 --> 01:51:20,000
Speaker 21: guys games.

2299
01:51:20,080 --> 01:51:22,840
Speaker 9: And the best part is him and Baba Miller shared

2300
01:51:22,880 --> 01:51:25,160
Speaker 9: a position last year, will.

2301
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:27,599
Speaker 21: That that'd be the storyline we need for the shootout

2302
01:51:27,600 --> 01:51:28,720
Speaker 21: to keep its luster in this year.

2303
01:51:28,920 --> 01:51:31,599
Speaker 13: Yeah, ye, now the shootouts lost this year. This year,

2304
01:51:31,680 --> 01:51:33,400
Speaker 13: Doc might be right, This might be the year that

2305
01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:35,479
Speaker 13: shoot out lose its luster. I can't wait to read

2306
01:51:35,520 --> 01:51:37,160
Speaker 13: the column shout out to the end Quire, but what if

2307
01:51:37,200 --> 01:51:39,400
Speaker 13: he goes the other way, Well, it's bad.

2308
01:51:39,520 --> 01:51:44,120
Speaker 21: It's this is the year, shoutouts Jasan Williams right that

2309
01:51:44,200 --> 01:51:46,519
Speaker 21: column right now. The shootout is back in twenty twenty

2310
01:51:46,520 --> 01:51:47,479
Speaker 21: five six.

2311
01:51:48,320 --> 01:51:50,240
Speaker 4: I think there is a sense though that if you

2312
01:51:50,360 --> 01:51:53,120
Speaker 4: see can't win there this year, they're never going to.

2313
01:51:53,120 --> 01:51:53,840
Speaker 2: They never will.

2314
01:51:53,960 --> 01:51:56,200
Speaker 21: Does that make it back if you see finally breaks

2315
01:51:56,240 --> 01:52:00,120
Speaker 21: that Kurson wins there, or it is the luster.

2316
01:52:00,200 --> 01:52:02,639
Speaker 9: Dead because that was the expected that UC supposed to win.

2317
01:52:03,320 --> 01:52:04,080
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know.

2318
01:52:04,520 --> 01:52:07,320
Speaker 4: I have weeks to ponder that, but I do think

2319
01:52:07,439 --> 01:52:10,160
Speaker 4: I do think if you if you ask Bearcad fans,

2320
01:52:10,280 --> 01:52:11,840
Speaker 4: I mean they said we said the same thing two

2321
01:52:11,920 --> 01:52:13,800
Speaker 4: years ago, right like and that was not a very

2322
01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:16,000
Speaker 4: good Xavier team and a very good UC team, But

2323
01:52:16,040 --> 01:52:17,439
Speaker 4: I think there was a sense of like, all right,

2324
01:52:17,439 --> 01:52:19,280
Speaker 4: if if they're ever gonna win, itsin TOAs, it's going

2325
01:52:19,320 --> 01:52:21,280
Speaker 4: to be that game two years ago they did not.

2326
01:52:22,520 --> 01:52:25,760
Speaker 4: I've I've listened to people who love Xavier basketball who

2327
01:52:25,800 --> 01:52:28,040
Speaker 4: have said, like, this is gonna be the year where

2328
01:52:28,479 --> 01:52:30,320
Speaker 4: they lose for the first time in a quarter century

2329
01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:34,559
Speaker 4: to you see at home, and then every Bearcat fan goes, yeah, cool,

2330
01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:36,880
Speaker 4: one of those dudes is going to go five for seven.

2331
01:52:36,640 --> 01:52:42,680
Speaker 2: From three another tho mm two thousand and six, the

2332
01:52:42,760 --> 01:52:43,639
Speaker 2: Andy Kennedy year.

2333
01:52:43,800 --> 01:52:48,040
Speaker 13: Now well to December December of the two thousand and

2334
01:52:48,080 --> 01:52:50,840
Speaker 13: six seventh season, they're mixed ragtag.

2335
01:52:51,000 --> 01:52:55,639
Speaker 4: Yes, Sean Miller's first one where that UC team, which

2336
01:52:55,680 --> 01:52:58,280
Speaker 4: was dreadful, won two games in the Big East, beat Xavior.

2337
01:52:58,280 --> 01:52:59,680
Speaker 2: But that game was that U se.

2338
01:52:59,479 --> 01:53:05,480
Speaker 9: Right, but this game is that Xavier. Man, that's the parallel.

2339
01:53:05,840 --> 01:53:10,840
Speaker 4: Yes, you're right, No, you're right, Rick, Thank you for

2340
01:53:10,880 --> 01:53:14,000
Speaker 4: that was not really a question there, but thank you

2341
01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:16,120
Speaker 4: for that reference. Thank you for putting it together. For

2342
01:53:16,120 --> 01:53:20,519
Speaker 4: the I I've lost for a second, but I feel

2343
01:53:20,520 --> 01:53:24,000
Speaker 4: like this is most UC fans look at this in

2344
01:53:24,080 --> 01:53:26,160
Speaker 4: Xavier fans as well as if it's if it's ever

2345
01:53:26,200 --> 01:53:29,000
Speaker 4: going to end the streak of Xavier beating you see

2346
01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:31,160
Speaker 4: at centas it's it's going to be this year.

2347
01:53:31,400 --> 01:53:34,120
Speaker 21: Yeah, I said, as I do feel like if they

2348
01:53:34,120 --> 01:53:35,559
Speaker 21: don't win this one, I think I might have said

2349
01:53:35,560 --> 01:53:37,360
Speaker 21: the same thing two years ago. But if they don't

2350
01:53:37,360 --> 01:53:39,320
Speaker 21: win this one, they're never going to win at the

2351
01:53:39,360 --> 01:53:40,440
Speaker 21: Senta Center feels.

2352
01:53:40,200 --> 01:53:42,080
Speaker 4: Like is there you know, you talk about like a

2353
01:53:42,120 --> 01:53:44,680
Speaker 4: lot of the things that went down this this offseason

2354
01:53:44,720 --> 01:53:46,360
Speaker 4: that worked against Xavier.

2355
01:53:46,520 --> 01:53:46,920
Speaker 2: Do you.

2356
01:53:48,400 --> 01:53:51,160
Speaker 4: I think most of you the roster is underwhelming. Do

2357
01:53:51,200 --> 01:53:52,840
Speaker 4: you put any of that on Richard?

2358
01:53:53,760 --> 01:53:56,040
Speaker 21: I mean, ultimately, I guess everyone's going to be like

2359
01:53:56,080 --> 01:53:59,320
Speaker 21: the head coaches responsible for the roster. But I more

2360
01:53:59,360 --> 01:54:01,720
Speaker 21: than anything, situation that Xavier was in this year is

2361
01:54:02,040 --> 01:54:04,519
Speaker 21: one you're replacing an entirely new roster because you lost

2362
01:54:04,520 --> 01:54:06,479
Speaker 21: your previous head coach, which is something that almost every

2363
01:54:06,479 --> 01:54:07,920
Speaker 21: school seems to go through. Now, when you lose your

2364
01:54:07,920 --> 01:54:09,759
Speaker 21: head coach, you got to replace it entirely new roster.

2365
01:54:10,080 --> 01:54:12,559
Speaker 21: To do that in the same year where you had

2366
01:54:12,720 --> 01:54:15,880
Speaker 21: and granted, nil has been changing almost every year every

2367
01:54:15,920 --> 01:54:17,400
Speaker 21: other year as we go anyway. So I'm not sure

2368
01:54:17,439 --> 01:54:20,160
Speaker 21: there is like a standard for ANIL. But the way

2369
01:54:20,160 --> 01:54:23,240
Speaker 21: it was operating the last two three years, all of

2370
01:54:23,240 --> 01:54:25,280
Speaker 21: a sudden flipped on its head this one off season

2371
01:54:25,360 --> 01:54:26,840
Speaker 21: while you were trying to do that put them in

2372
01:54:26,880 --> 01:54:28,120
Speaker 21: a doubly bad position.

2373
01:54:28,439 --> 01:54:30,320
Speaker 9: So that's where I put most of the blame.

2374
01:54:30,320 --> 01:54:32,879
Speaker 21: I don't think it's anyone's fault per se, other than maybe,

2375
01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:34,839
Speaker 21: you know, if you want to put it on Xavier's

2376
01:54:34,880 --> 01:54:38,800
Speaker 21: donors for not pouring out all of their financial earnings

2377
01:54:38,840 --> 01:54:41,200
Speaker 21: over the course of their lifetimes, then maybe it's on them.

2378
01:54:41,200 --> 01:54:41,600
Speaker 9: I don't know.

2379
01:54:41,720 --> 01:54:44,680
Speaker 13: So that they go ahead, Did they bankroll it because

2380
01:54:44,720 --> 01:54:46,800
Speaker 13: you can technically.

2381
01:54:47,160 --> 01:54:48,640
Speaker 9: I don't even know what you're asking right now. The

2382
01:54:48,680 --> 01:54:51,440
Speaker 9: revenue share, the revenue share, I don't know what that means.

2383
01:54:51,480 --> 01:54:54,120
Speaker 9: What I mean. So, so the way it's going to

2384
01:54:54,160 --> 01:54:55,600
Speaker 9: be good a financial lesson the.

2385
01:54:55,640 --> 01:54:58,400
Speaker 13: Way that the calendar, I could certainly use that July

2386
01:54:58,600 --> 01:55:04,320
Speaker 13: first is the fiscal year start, so you can spend

2387
01:55:04,440 --> 01:55:08,640
Speaker 13: less on this roster all the way around to April,

2388
01:55:09,520 --> 01:55:13,120
Speaker 13: and then April to July have more for the more

2389
01:55:13,200 --> 01:55:16,440
Speaker 13: for the following year because there's a three month window

2390
01:55:17,240 --> 01:55:19,000
Speaker 13: from the end of the season to the start of

2391
01:55:19,000 --> 01:55:22,640
Speaker 13: the fiscal year that if you didn't spend everything that

2392
01:55:22,720 --> 01:55:28,760
Speaker 13: you can spend on revenue share, you could hypothetically load

2393
01:55:28,880 --> 01:55:29,840
Speaker 13: up for the next year you.

2394
01:55:29,920 --> 01:55:30,440
Speaker 2: Roll it over.

2395
01:55:31,920 --> 01:55:34,200
Speaker 21: I did not know the scientific term was bankroll for that,

2396
01:55:34,240 --> 01:55:34,960
Speaker 21: so that is on me.

2397
01:55:35,080 --> 01:55:36,800
Speaker 9: I will I think I just heard that up.

2398
01:55:36,840 --> 01:55:37,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.

2399
01:55:37,680 --> 01:55:39,840
Speaker 21: Also, I have not talked to Zavier's financial people about

2400
01:55:39,840 --> 01:55:41,720
Speaker 21: how they handle that exactly, so I'm not sure. But

2401
01:55:41,920 --> 01:55:43,560
Speaker 21: I since there was probably a little bit of like

2402
01:55:43,600 --> 01:55:45,840
Speaker 21: a hey, we're in a really bad spot. We're not

2403
01:55:45,840 --> 01:55:47,680
Speaker 21: going to spend an extra two hundred grand to get

2404
01:55:47,720 --> 01:55:51,000
Speaker 21: a slightly more average player. We're going to take what

2405
01:55:51,040 --> 01:55:53,120
Speaker 21: we can get here and look forward to the future.

2406
01:55:53,120 --> 01:55:54,680
Speaker 21: But they also did it with you know, they have

2407
01:55:54,760 --> 01:55:57,800
Speaker 21: five sophomores those Billy wise, and you can't plan for

2408
01:55:57,840 --> 01:56:00,120
Speaker 21: the future in this current era of basketball, but you

2409
01:56:00,240 --> 01:56:02,840
Speaker 21: can try to promote the future and be like, hey,

2410
01:56:03,120 --> 01:56:04,480
Speaker 21: hopefully a couple of these guys are good and we

2411
01:56:04,480 --> 01:56:05,200
Speaker 21: can keep them around.

2412
01:56:05,400 --> 01:56:10,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I it just it feels weird. It feels weird. Look,

2413
01:56:10,360 --> 01:56:13,240
Speaker 4: it's I think it's never been more difficult for a

2414
01:56:13,280 --> 01:56:15,839
Speaker 4: first year head coach in any program. Obviously, Rich Potino

2415
01:56:15,840 --> 01:56:19,280
Speaker 4: has been a head coach. It just it feels weird

2416
01:56:19,280 --> 01:56:21,920
Speaker 4: to talk about Xavier basketball in terms where we're wondering

2417
01:56:21,960 --> 01:56:25,080
Speaker 4: if they're going to lose twenty games before the season begins.

2418
01:56:25,480 --> 01:56:27,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that's this is a fair to say.

2419
01:56:27,720 --> 01:56:28,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2420
01:56:28,040 --> 01:56:30,200
Speaker 21: The one thing that I do think, you know, anytime

2421
01:56:30,200 --> 01:56:32,560
Speaker 21: you get a new coaching staff, that's fun to see

2422
01:56:32,600 --> 01:56:34,360
Speaker 21: what's the style going to look like? What difference? So

2423
01:56:34,440 --> 01:56:36,000
Speaker 21: are you going to see what type of players does

2424
01:56:36,040 --> 01:56:37,560
Speaker 21: he like? And I think that is going to look

2425
01:56:37,560 --> 01:56:39,400
Speaker 21: different from what Xavier fans have been used to over

2426
01:56:39,440 --> 01:56:41,840
Speaker 21: the last twenty plus years, because one thing you got

2427
01:56:41,880 --> 01:56:44,000
Speaker 21: to realize is, you know, Sean Miller took over after

2428
01:56:44,040 --> 01:56:48,480
Speaker 21: Thamana and then basically everything since then has been his design.

2429
01:56:48,520 --> 01:56:50,360
Speaker 21: You know, the coaches after him were from his tree

2430
01:56:50,400 --> 01:56:53,280
Speaker 21: and kept what he did in place, including the bastardized

2431
01:56:54,200 --> 01:56:56,280
Speaker 21: pack line tack line defense has been given up one

2432
01:56:56,360 --> 01:56:58,280
Speaker 21: hundred and fifty threes a game for the last few

2433
01:56:58,360 --> 01:57:01,600
Speaker 21: years in the current system of college basketball. I think

2434
01:57:01,640 --> 01:57:03,200
Speaker 21: that's going to be the most exciting part for fans

2435
01:57:03,280 --> 01:57:05,560
Speaker 21: is let's see what it looks like with a disruptive

2436
01:57:05,640 --> 01:57:09,080
Speaker 21: defense that puts pressure in ball screen situations and forces

2437
01:57:09,120 --> 01:57:12,120
Speaker 21: turnovers and takes the action to the offensive players. That's

2438
01:57:12,160 --> 01:57:13,840
Speaker 21: gonna be the most fun part of the season, I think.

2439
01:57:13,960 --> 01:57:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it's cool they went outside the family.

2440
01:57:17,400 --> 01:57:21,440
Speaker 4: And nothing against Chris Shawn times too, Travis. It isn't,

2441
01:57:21,480 --> 01:57:23,720
Speaker 4: you know, be good or be interesting. It's interesting that

2442
01:57:23,760 --> 01:57:27,520
Speaker 4: they went outside the family. And uh, it just the

2443
01:57:27,560 --> 01:57:30,440
Speaker 4: way that team is being talked about doesn't mesh with

2444
01:57:30,480 --> 01:57:33,600
Speaker 4: what you have come over the years to expect Xavier

2445
01:57:33,640 --> 01:57:35,680
Speaker 4: basketball to be all about. And then then you hear

2446
01:57:35,720 --> 01:57:37,760
Speaker 4: folks who cry poverty and they don't have any money,

2447
01:57:37,760 --> 01:57:41,120
Speaker 4: and it's just this is a This feels and sounds

2448
01:57:41,120 --> 01:57:42,000
Speaker 4: and looks different.

2449
01:57:42,560 --> 01:57:45,120
Speaker 21: I think it's going to be interesting when the season

2450
01:57:45,120 --> 01:57:47,440
Speaker 21: actually gets going, because Xavier fans are bracing themselves right

2451
01:57:47,520 --> 01:57:49,480
Speaker 21: now for Okay, I think there's gonna be a rebuilding

2452
01:57:49,520 --> 01:57:51,760
Speaker 21: or it's gonna be tough. But what's that actually look

2453
01:57:51,840 --> 01:57:54,280
Speaker 21: like when you're four and for it to start the season. Yeah,

2454
01:57:54,400 --> 01:57:56,560
Speaker 21: can they actually handle that part of it?

2455
01:57:56,720 --> 01:57:56,880
Speaker 2: Right?

2456
01:57:56,960 --> 01:57:59,160
Speaker 4: Everybody says, you know, willing to put up with the

2457
01:57:59,200 --> 01:58:02,000
Speaker 4: growing pains until they're deal actually dealing with them.

2458
01:58:02,120 --> 01:58:03,680
Speaker 9: Yes, And I think that's going to be tough.

2459
01:58:03,800 --> 01:58:06,600
Speaker 4: Did you see his non conference schedule. Check all the

2460
01:58:06,600 --> 01:58:08,800
Speaker 4: boxes you want a non conference schedule to check.

2461
01:58:09,080 --> 01:58:18,240
Speaker 13: Checked enough. It's not great, it's but it's enough. Dayton, Xavier, Georgia, Clemson, Louisville.

2462
01:58:18,840 --> 01:58:21,640
Speaker 13: You've got the one big, big name game in Louisville.

2463
01:58:21,640 --> 01:58:23,840
Speaker 13: I guess a couple teams that are going to be

2464
01:58:23,880 --> 01:58:27,560
Speaker 13: in a similar situation to you on the on the

2465
01:58:27,960 --> 01:58:31,600
Speaker 13: kind of that bubble area. I think with Georgia and Clemson,

2466
01:58:33,040 --> 01:58:36,840
Speaker 13: Xavier's you know gonna probably be rough this year, but

2467
01:58:37,760 --> 01:58:41,200
Speaker 13: in sentas yeah, you never know. Yeah, And then Dayton's

2468
01:58:41,200 --> 01:58:43,200
Speaker 13: probably they're gonna stink, aren't they. I don't think Dayton's

2469
01:58:43,200 --> 01:58:43,880
Speaker 13: gonna be very good.

2470
01:58:44,760 --> 01:58:49,080
Speaker 2: I don't think. I think based on what I hear,

2471
01:58:49,240 --> 01:58:49,800
Speaker 2: I think.

2472
01:58:50,480 --> 01:58:53,240
Speaker 13: Just one guy in this gambling thing, like you're gonna

2473
01:58:53,240 --> 01:58:54,640
Speaker 13: have him on for locks of the weekend?

2474
01:58:55,560 --> 01:58:58,560
Speaker 4: I might, I might, I might do that. What is

2475
01:58:59,520 --> 01:59:02,360
Speaker 4: what is the case? What is best case? I mean

2476
01:59:02,440 --> 01:59:04,760
Speaker 4: best cases? They make the tournament with these you wake

2477
01:59:04,840 --> 01:59:06,680
Speaker 4: up on selection Sunday and you know they're in, and

2478
01:59:06,680 --> 01:59:07,760
Speaker 4: then again at the end of the day it's the

2479
01:59:07,800 --> 01:59:09,120
Speaker 4: brahma and then everybody's gonna.

2480
01:59:08,960 --> 01:59:09,800
Speaker 9: Use best case.

2481
01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:13,320
Speaker 13: They finish fifth Okay, sixth in the Big twelve and

2482
01:59:13,600 --> 01:59:19,000
Speaker 13: comfortably in and like five seed somewhere, five six seeds somewhere.

2483
01:59:18,800 --> 01:59:21,560
Speaker 2: In the worst case involves you putting together a hotboard.

2484
01:59:21,760 --> 01:59:25,920
Speaker 13: Yeah, although I think it would have to be pretty

2485
01:59:25,920 --> 01:59:26,800
Speaker 13: bad for that to happen.

2486
01:59:26,920 --> 01:59:31,400
Speaker 4: But like not bubble and your team number sixty nine

2487
01:59:32,400 --> 01:59:33,560
Speaker 4: or seven.

2488
01:59:33,440 --> 01:59:35,080
Speaker 2: Or seconds thing.

2489
01:59:35,160 --> 01:59:39,360
Speaker 13: It's like if he misses that, he's automatically hired, right,

2490
01:59:40,520 --> 01:59:43,520
Speaker 13: you would have to apply context. Yes, all right, how's

2491
01:59:43,560 --> 01:59:43,920
Speaker 13: it look?

2492
01:59:45,440 --> 01:59:49,160
Speaker 4: Best case for the Musketeers. Best case everything goes swimmingly well, yeah,

2493
01:59:49,200 --> 01:59:50,440
Speaker 4: and there is one thing to keep an eye on.

2494
01:59:50,440 --> 01:59:53,400
Speaker 21: Two with that in terms of Gabriel Pizzato, the Evansville transfer,

2495
01:59:53,440 --> 01:59:56,000
Speaker 21: who by all accounts in the summer looked like maybe

2496
01:59:56,040 --> 01:59:58,160
Speaker 21: the top player on the roster. If he does come

2497
01:59:58,200 --> 02:00:00,640
Speaker 21: back a little earlier than expected and he starts playing

2498
02:00:00,640 --> 02:00:02,760
Speaker 21: well and things start to click, then maybe you know,

2499
02:00:02,840 --> 02:00:05,320
Speaker 21: Xavier's looking more at like six or seventh in the

2500
02:00:05,360 --> 02:00:06,600
Speaker 21: Big East. Like I said, I think the bottom of

2501
02:00:06,640 --> 02:00:09,040
Speaker 21: the Big East is going to be really mediocre to

2502
02:00:09,080 --> 02:00:12,040
Speaker 21: bad this year, So I think it's reasonable to think

2503
02:00:12,040 --> 02:00:14,320
Speaker 21: they could come in closer to like five hundred overall,

2504
02:00:14,360 --> 02:00:17,920
Speaker 21: maybe sixteen and fifteen, fifteen and sixteen something like that,

2505
02:00:18,080 --> 02:00:20,120
Speaker 21: and you go, you win seven or eight games in

2506
02:00:20,160 --> 02:00:20,680
Speaker 21: the Big East.

2507
02:00:20,760 --> 02:00:21,480
Speaker 9: I think that would be.

2508
02:00:21,440 --> 02:00:23,840
Speaker 13: Like five hundred. It's like the gate to cross five

2509
02:00:23,920 --> 02:00:25,040
Speaker 13: hundred and you feel really good.

2510
02:00:25,160 --> 02:00:27,040
Speaker 9: Can I think that's kind of the best case scenario

2511
02:00:27,080 --> 02:00:27,680
Speaker 9: for them this year.

2512
02:00:27,680 --> 02:00:29,360
Speaker 2: And Kay, you can win the Horizon League.

2513
02:00:29,600 --> 02:00:30,520
Speaker 9: I think that's in play.

2514
02:00:30,600 --> 02:00:30,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.

2515
02:00:31,040 --> 02:00:32,880
Speaker 21: I mean if that's without knowing they're not going to be,

2516
02:00:32,920 --> 02:00:34,680
Speaker 21: you know, picked in the top three. But I think

2517
02:00:34,680 --> 02:00:36,480
Speaker 21: they're definitely in contention for sure.

2518
02:00:37,040 --> 02:00:39,760
Speaker 2: And Kentucky fans are really excited. Mark Pope's team is

2519
02:00:39,800 --> 02:00:40,160
Speaker 2: going to be.

2520
02:00:40,120 --> 02:00:42,360
Speaker 13: Really good, right anything, I keep hearing this twenty two

2521
02:00:42,400 --> 02:00:46,360
Speaker 13: number tossed around. Somebody mentioned to me last week they

2522
02:00:46,440 --> 02:00:48,680
Speaker 13: might be closer to a forty million dollars roster than

2523
02:00:48,720 --> 02:00:49,840
Speaker 13: a twenty million dollars roster.

2524
02:00:49,880 --> 02:00:52,440
Speaker 9: I think that people are under I watched the Purdue game. Man,

2525
02:00:52,600 --> 02:00:54,040
Speaker 9: do you understand what that means?

2526
02:00:54,080 --> 02:00:56,080
Speaker 21: For like every player on that roster, like Trent Noah's

2527
02:00:56,080 --> 02:00:57,400
Speaker 21: getting three million dollars.

2528
02:00:57,800 --> 02:00:58,920
Speaker 9: I find that hard to believe.

2529
02:00:59,560 --> 02:01:01,720
Speaker 4: I don't know, but see that's part of it that

2530
02:01:01,880 --> 02:01:03,600
Speaker 4: I think a lot of us can't wrap our brains.

2531
02:01:03,640 --> 02:01:06,520
Speaker 4: Getti asked, I get asked this all the time. What

2532
02:01:06,600 --> 02:01:08,600
Speaker 4: does so and so make? You could tell me it's

2533
02:01:09,320 --> 02:01:11,560
Speaker 4: forty five k a year. You could tell me it's

2534
02:01:11,560 --> 02:01:13,640
Speaker 4: four point five million a year. I do, I have

2535
02:01:13,680 --> 02:01:14,120
Speaker 4: no idea?

2536
02:01:14,440 --> 02:01:16,440
Speaker 2: Should we know more than we make? Should we know?

2537
02:01:16,560 --> 02:01:18,960
Speaker 2: I mean, would I've all I had a lot. I

2538
02:01:19,080 --> 02:01:19,520
Speaker 2: hold yeah.

2539
02:01:19,560 --> 02:01:21,200
Speaker 4: I hold onto the belief that it would be more

2540
02:01:21,280 --> 02:01:23,640
Speaker 4: fun if we had no idea what athletes made, it would.

2541
02:01:23,480 --> 02:01:24,880
Speaker 2: Just we would. It would be more fun.

2542
02:01:25,480 --> 02:01:28,120
Speaker 4: Now how we talk about roster construction would change, and

2543
02:01:28,160 --> 02:01:29,920
Speaker 4: I get all that. Do you want to know what

2544
02:01:29,960 --> 02:01:31,520
Speaker 4: college basketball players a getting paid?

2545
02:01:32,200 --> 02:01:35,800
Speaker 21: I think the ambiguity is going to create more problems because,

2546
02:01:35,840 --> 02:01:38,360
Speaker 21: like we already saw with the kid at BYU, the

2547
02:01:38,360 --> 02:01:39,840
Speaker 21: top freshman in the country this year, A J.

2548
02:01:39,960 --> 02:01:40,400
Speaker 9: Davantsa.

2549
02:01:40,560 --> 02:01:43,240
Speaker 21: Everyone's reporting he got eight million dollars to go there,

2550
02:01:43,240 --> 02:01:45,520
Speaker 21: seven million dollars to go there. Truth is, it sounds

2551
02:01:45,520 --> 02:01:47,080
Speaker 21: like it was more like three and a half four

2552
02:01:47,120 --> 02:01:49,640
Speaker 21: million to go there, right, So, I mean, these numbers

2553
02:01:49,680 --> 02:01:52,160
Speaker 21: are all over the place, and either way, whatever the

2554
02:01:52,280 --> 02:01:54,880
Speaker 21: rumors are, fans are going to run with whatever the

2555
02:01:54,920 --> 02:01:57,640
Speaker 21: highest dollar amount is. Use that for pressure, use that

2556
02:01:57,680 --> 02:01:59,480
Speaker 21: for why the guy is a bust, all those types

2557
02:01:59,520 --> 02:02:01,280
Speaker 21: of things. I think at some point it's almost going

2558
02:02:01,320 --> 02:02:03,720
Speaker 21: to be better to have the real information out there.

2559
02:02:04,600 --> 02:02:06,320
Speaker 4: What are they going to expand the tournament? How much

2560
02:02:06,320 --> 02:02:07,640
Speaker 4: am I gonna hate it?

2561
02:02:07,640 --> 02:02:10,120
Speaker 9: It's gonna be next year. It's gonna stink.

2562
02:02:10,240 --> 02:02:12,440
Speaker 2: It's gonna stink. Nobody wants it.

2563
02:02:13,320 --> 02:02:15,800
Speaker 9: I don't want it, but I'm gonna watch more basketball.

2564
02:02:15,880 --> 02:02:19,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, I'm not gonna watch, but I don't watch it.

2565
02:02:19,880 --> 02:02:22,040
Speaker 4: I have I have ten people for you and Skinny

2566
02:02:22,040 --> 02:02:24,800
Speaker 4: to rank their careers. Tomorrow night, I'll come up with this.

2567
02:02:25,160 --> 02:02:26,440
Speaker 9: How many of them do you think I would know?

2568
02:02:27,280 --> 02:02:27,800
Speaker 14: Uh?

2569
02:02:27,840 --> 02:02:28,240
Speaker 2: You know what?

2570
02:02:29,360 --> 02:02:32,480
Speaker 4: Probably not well, one you'll know, okay because one's a

2571
02:02:32,520 --> 02:02:35,920
Speaker 4: former colleague of viewers, so shout out and Gary Miller.

2572
02:02:36,080 --> 02:02:40,280

2573
02:02:40,320 --> 02:02:42,000
Speaker 4: not on here. But there's the list.

2574
02:02:42,040 --> 02:02:44,840
