Chris Henry Junior is 128 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: going to make a pick sometime soon. And you see 129 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 2: what happened in the NBA last night. I did Lebron 130 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 2: James ended his one thousand, two hundred and ninety seven 131 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,799 Speaker 2: consecutive game streak of scoring double digits in the regular 132 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 2: season ten or more points. And he did it, and 133 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 2: I think the best way possible. He had the ball 134 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 2: in a one twenty to one twenty game with a 135 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 2: clock ticking down under five and what did he do Austin, 136 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: he found Rory Hatchima in the corner for a wide 137 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 2: open three, which hatchimra hit. 138 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 8: I think what's funny is it kind of secretly tells 139 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 8: you everything about the way, you know, people view Lebron. 140 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 8: That the story is not as much you know, that 141 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 8: they won the game or that the streak broke, It 142 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 8: was that he actually passed the ball instead of trying 143 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 8: to get the streak. 144 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 4: Get the streak, he made the right earlier. 145 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 2: This week or last week, that he had eight and 146 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: like shot a garbage basket when they were already out, 147 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 2: when he was still in the game to get to ten, 148 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 2: and then to do this. 149 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 4: And ninety seven consecutive games. 150 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 8: I think the longest active streak now is Kevin Durant 151 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 8: at like two hundred and seventy unreal, and then behind 152 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 8: him is Shay Gilgess Alexander On So. I think SGA 153 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 8: would have to go like the next ten years without 154 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 8: missing a game, basically next fifteen years without missing a 155 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 8: game basically to do that, that's insane, pretty amazing. 156 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 2: How about Penn State, you see they've now turned their 157 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 2: focus to Big twelve Iowa State Matt Campbell I did 158 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: see Matt Campbell, now the lead focus of Penn State's 159 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 2: head coaching search, and all last night in the National 160 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 2: Football League, the best running back in the NFL was 161 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 2: fully on display, Jamiir Gibbs, who was a pipe dream 162 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: for Bengal fans in the draft. And then the Lions 163 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 2: like went up even higher because we were I remember 164 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: talking in Cincinnati, do you reach a little bit on Gibbs? 165 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 2: And then the Lions reached even higher. And last night 166 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 2: Jamir Gibbs twelve carries forty three yards, three touchdowns, seven 167 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 2: catches seventy seven yards.

What about the Boise State Roncos Austin. Yeah, 296 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 2: a lot of people left them for dead early in 297 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 2: the year. They were ranked going into the season. They 298 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 2: fell all the way to eight and four, and yet 299 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 2: they are now hosting the Mountain West Championship against UNLV, 300 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 2: the Running Rebels. You know, they got blue turf there 301 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 2: in Boise. They also got five and a half points 302 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 2: to lay. Boise is the favorite. Un l V, I 303 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 2: think is the better team. Give me UNLV to get 304 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 2: the points. 305 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 4: You know what. 306 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,239 Speaker 8: I'm a fan of Dan Mullen, the head coach at UNLV. 307 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 8: Now he's got Vontez perfect Yeah on his staff. Yeah, 308 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 8: so I thought there'd be a lot more personal fouls 309 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 8: this year. The occasionally, I mean early I think Paul 310 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 8: Gunther's involved there, so you know there's not a lot 311 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 8: of defense.

He's staying. I'd bring him 320 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 2: Young University. But they're getting twelve and a half points 321 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 2: in this game. Austin, I think Texas Tech wins. I 322 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 2: don't think they win going away. Give me BYU to 323 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 2: cover the number. 324 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 8: Okay, you're absolutely crazy.

Who do you like? 336 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 8: I got Georgia to crush these dudes and send Alabama 337 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 8: into an offseason in which there will be no hotter 338 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 8: seat in the country than one Kaylin divorce. 339 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 2: I have nothing about nothing but the time him and. 340 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 8: Scott Saderfield, nothing but the time he's scorching hot. 341 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna take Georgia too. 342 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: It's hard to beat a team twice in a season, 343 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 2: it really is, especially when that team is the Georgia Bulldogs. Also, 344 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 2: when you give us these sheets, you keep saying team. 345 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 4: At other teams. 346 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:21,959 Speaker 2: Well, this is a little bit different this week because 347 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 2: most of these are neutral sites. Yeah so, but are 348 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 2: they really neutral? Texas Tech is playing this game in Arlington, Texas. 349 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 2: Alabama's playing in Atlanta. 350 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 8: Georgia, Well, Indiana's playing in Indianapolis, and it's gonna. 351 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 4: Be in Ohio State, Ohio. Yeah exactly. 352 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 2: How about the other team in Ohio? How about the 353 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 2: Miami RedHawks. We're gonna talk with Kyle Decker in just 354 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 2: a few minutes from Miami about this game. But it's 355 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 2: another year where Chuck Martin's in a MAC title game. 356 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 2: They did so, they moved on from their quarterback after 357 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 2: the OU loss. They got a red shirt freshman playing 358 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 2: right now. I said, it's hard to beat a team. 359 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: Twice in the regular season. Western Michigan lost to Miami 360 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 2: after giving up seventeen in the fourth quarter for the 361 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 2: RedHawks to win at Yager Stadium early in the year. 362 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 2: That's the only Western Michigan loss in conference this year. 363 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 2: It'll be their second conference loss. I think Chuck Martin's 364 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 2: team is playing their best football when it matters. They've 365 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 2: been there before. Give me the RedHawks to win and cover. 366 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 8: I just had the pleasure of talking to Chuck Martin 367 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 8: on the phone like two days ago. 368 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 4: Oh give me the RedHawks. What a pleasure? Love that guy. 369 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 8: What a Pleasure's and he answers the phone like a 370 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 8: football guy. Oh, he said, Chuck Martin, Miami Football. Let's 371 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 8: call man, all right, let's go move the chains. 372 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 4: Coach. I'm in on that. I'm all in on that. 373 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 2: Yep. What about number two? Indiana Man first number one 374 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 2: Ohio State. I'm gonna make my pick, and I'm gonna 375 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 2: give you the floor, Austin, I would honestly be comfortable 376 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 2: taking this to eleven and a half twelve and a half. 377 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 2: I think Ohio State wins this by two scores. It's 378 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 2: in a dome. This offense. Now they get the Chris 379 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 2: Henry Junior boost. People are expecting what's gonna happen with 380 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 2: hertline at US. I don't think anything. I think Ohio 381 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 2: State plays their best game of the year. I think 382 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 2: they roll the Indiana Hoosiers. Give me the Buckeyes. 383 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 8: Before I make my pick, I'm just gonna say, great 384 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 8: spot to watch the Big Ten Championship game. If you're 385 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 8: looking to do that this weekend is gonna be over 386 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 8: at Liberty Collective. They're gonna have a live DJ, drink specials. 387 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 8: They got a second floor, it's twenty one plus, they've 388 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 8: got a twenty five foot led screen. Tons of excitement 389 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 8: for the Big Ten Championship game, and I'm sure many 390 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 8: will gather at eight pm Saturday to watch the buck 391 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 8: Eyes destroy the Indiana Hoosiers. Give me the Buckeyes to 392 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 8: cover that four. I don't know if it's actually gonna 393 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 8: be destroyed, but the Buckeyes cover the four, they win 394 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 8: the Big Ten championship. 395 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: All right, all right, let's move on to the NFL. 396 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 2: Let's start in the AFC North cam Ward versus dor Sanders. 397 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 2: Titans turn Cleveland to take on the Browns. The over 398 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 2: under on this game Austin thirty three and a half. 399 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 2: No one expecting many points to be scored in this one, 400 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 2: but the Browns are favored by four and a half home. 401 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 2: I think this is more about the defenses that will 402 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 2: be playing in this game, and for that I get 403 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 2: Miles Garrett for the first time versus Cam Moore. 404 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 4: Give me the Browns. 405 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think the Browns are gonna blow this team out. 406 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 8: Like I think it's crazy to say this, but I 407 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 8: think the Cleveland Browns have a super Bowl caliber defense 408 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 8: and it's obviously being wasted with all the other nonsense 409 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 8: going on, and Cam mood has struggled and reading defenses 410 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 8: and all that sort of stuff. 411 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 4: I'll take the Browns. 412 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 2: What about the other AFC North game? This one is 413 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 2: a different one because of the uncertainty around Lamar Jackson 414 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 2: throughout the week. Steelers at Ravens. Neither of these offenses 415 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 2: are playing well, and both of these teams invested on 416 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball and that hasn't panned 417 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 2: out either. This game being in Baltimore, the Ravens giving 418 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 2: five and a half, What do you think. 419 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 8: Lamar Jackson will play? He's good to go. I trust 420 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 8: him more than I trust the Steelers offense. At the moment, 421 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 8: I'll take the Ravens. 422 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna take the Ravens as well. I just 423 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 2: think eventually we're gonna have that game where Lamar looks 424 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 2: more like Lamar. They just awarded Mark Andrews with the 425 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 2: big deal. I don't know if it's this game, but 426 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 2: I think they have enough to beat and cover against 427 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 2: the Steelers. How about this one Jags trending up, Colts 428 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 2: trending down. Jacksonville hosts the Indianapolis Colts and they're gonna 429 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 2: get a point and a half at home in this one. 430 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 2: Who do you like? Jags Colts? 431 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 8: I like the Indianapolis Colts, really run the football, play 432 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 8: a little bit of defense. I think I'm out on 433 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 8: Trevor Lawrence. I feel pretty comfortable saying that. So that 434 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:40,439 Speaker 8: being said, give me Indianapolis. Really Now, I've been on 435 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 8: the Jags all year. I was gonna say that that 436 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 8: surprises me. Early in the year, the the Jacksonville Jaguars 437 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 8: were or your pick. Do you know the Jacksonville Jaguars 438 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 8: Austin also lead the NFL in yards giving up per 439 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 8: game on defense on the ground. Yeah, they've yet to 440 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 8: give up a thousand total yards team in the league 441 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 8: to do so. 442 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 2: They give up eighty two a game on the ground. 443 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 2: Time for the damn to break. They stemy Jonathan Taylor 444 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 2: and Jacksonville wins the game. Bears Packers, I don't know. 445 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 2: I don't trust the Bears. There are times I don't 446 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 2: trust the Packer. Is it Toyota th On? 447 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 4: That's right? 448 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 2: Is it right now? 449 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 4: I don't know. 450 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 2: I'm gonna guess that it is. 451 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 4: I don't drive a Toyota. 452 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 2: I don't either. I'm gonna take the Packers to cover 453 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 2: Jordan Love big game, Michael Parson's bigger game on defense. 454 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, now you have to give you a pick. 455 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 8: Well, I wasn't sure who to pick in this because 456 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 8: I think the Bears have some real momentum. And then 457 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 8: yesterday morning you and I got a text from mar 458 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 8: guy Glenn, Yeah, Glenn up in Green Bay who opened 459 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 8: his doors to me and was a gracious host. And 460 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 8: it's gonna be freezing cold up there. I mean, it's 461 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 8: it's Green Bay and Chicago. What more do you want? 462 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 8: Packers in a route? I think so too. 463 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 2: What about the Sunday night game, It is the defense 464 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 2: of the Texans against the Chiefs. It could very well 465 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 2: be an elimination game. I think the Chiefs are the 466 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 2: hungrier team here. I say, hungry dog runs faster. Give 467 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 2: me the Chiefs at home. 468 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 8: Last year and already a little bit this year, we've 469 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 8: heard that the Bengals are the team that nobody wants 470 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 8: to play.

The Bengals go to Buffalo, Chase Brown 504 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 2: has a monster game, Burrow throws three touchdowns, they stop 505 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 2: James Cook enough. We're talking on Monday about the playoff 506 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 2: door being all and the Bengals defense putting their fourth 507 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 2: winning performance together and Joe Burrow being all the way 508 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 2: back give me the Bengals on Sunday. 509 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 8: I was asked earlier this morning by our friend rick Yuccino, 510 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 8: how do you feel about this game? And I didn't 511 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 8: really have a good answer for him, because I think 512 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 8: it's two teams that are kind of in the same 513 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 8: exact spot. I could see them each playing a certain way. Oh, 514 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 8: I don't know how to decide what I think about 515 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 8: this game, but I do know one thing. I believe 516 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 8: that there is a path to victory every time Number 517 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 8: nine takes the field for the Cincinnati Bengals. And I 518 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 8: don't know that they're going to go up there and 519 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 8: blow them out like they did in the divisional round. 520 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 8: I don't think the Bengals are going to get blown 521 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,719 Speaker 8: out based off the way the Bills have played offensively 522 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 8: in their injuries, and so that being said Evan McPherson 523 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 8: at the gun to give the Bengals a victory, to 524 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 8: be said, look. 525 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 2: At us, we're both taking money line.

I 694 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 12: was watching the Lions game last night and I'm like, actually, 695 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 12: vision right there old Tommy got Kowski and Tommy Gunn 696 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 12: as we call him, hopefully dising up the Broncos. 697 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 2: So you know, it's it's it's been a unique season 698 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 2: for Miami, you know, because there's been adversity at different levels. 699 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 2: I thought you guys opened the season impressive at Wisconsin 700 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 2: seventeen nothing, But as soon as you get into MacPlay, 701 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 2: it's kind of what we've seen in years past. Hot 702 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 2: start in to mac play because you guys do such 703 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 2: a good job of scheduling to get ready for that 704 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 2: part of your schedule. And then you guys go to 705 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 2: Ou suffer a loss, back to back losses after the 706 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 2: Toledo loss, and then Sandwich in the middle of those, 707 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 2: there's a change at quarterback. And you know, anytime you're 708 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 2: moving on from a quarterback in today's college football, that's 709 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 2: a lot to kind of undertake for a staff and 710 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 2: for a team, because a lot of guys believe in 711 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 2: a quarterback and then you've got to now believe in 712 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 2: a new guy, and you've got to get the roster 713 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 2: around him. Just the journey that this team has taken 714 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 2: two to go through those losses. But again, as you mentioned, 715 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 2: you get a new quarterback in, you beat Buffalo, you 716 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 2: beat Ball State. Here they are again playing for a 717 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,879 Speaker 2: MAC title. How different of a season has it been 718 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 2: to get to this MAC championship? 719 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 12: Yeah, Tony, I mean it's something I've never seen. I mean, 720 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 12: you have a quarterback leave the team and then a 721 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 12: red shirt freshman like Tommy step up and play his 722 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,919 Speaker 12: first football in Buffalo and then. 723 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 4: Just hard to do as a freshman huge. 724 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 12: Yeah, at any level, it's it's uh, you know, but 725 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 12: he has been incredible. The whole team has rallied behind him. 726 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 12: His leadership on the field, off the field, you know, 727 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 12: just talking to him. He uh, I think we have 728 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 12: a special one thirteen, you know, behind center, and we're 729 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 12: beyond excited how everything came to fruition. I was there 730 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 12: in Athens when we lost OU and you know there 731 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 12: was there were some tough times those you know, that 732 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 12: week or two, but I think it all came and 733 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 12: you got to give the coaches and the players you 734 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 12: know that circled around. I mean, I think it's it 735 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 12: shows you that the culture and the leadership you know, 736 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 12: can overcome adversity. And super proud of these guys, I mean, 737 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 12: to be there tomorrow is an incredible accomplishment. 738 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 2: For you personally as as an alum of Miami that's 739 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 2: that's played there and now with what you're doing with 740 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 2: Red Brick Legacy, how fulfilling I know they're all special. 741 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 2: How fulfilling does it become because you're you're now more 742 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 2: a part of what's going on at the university.

And I was actually 755 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 12: talking to Travis Steele in the way here and I said, dude, 756 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 12: I about to go talk to Tony. I said, I 757 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 12: know how you guys feel now. I've never had this 758 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 12: much hatred, Like somehow people found my emails and you know, 759 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 12: I was like, you know, it's like I've I've ruined 760 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 12: the world with nil and in the quarterback situation. So personally, 761 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 12: this is I would love to screenshot some of those 762 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 12: Twitter warriors and say, hey, look at where we are now, 763 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 12: you know, and uh, it's more than just one player, 764 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 12: and uh, it's a program. And Coach Martin once again 765 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 12: three years in a row. You know, he's he's you know, 766 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 12: dominated the MAC I think twenty four and three over 767 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 12: the last couple of years. You know, his record is 768 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 12: is fantastic, you know, and he's delivered year after year, 769 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,359 Speaker 12: so we're very fortunate. But personally, like having the first 770 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 12: time I've experienced probably what all you guys get on 771 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 12: the regular. 772 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 4: That's new to me. So I'm like, I'm fired up. 773 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, for Chuck Martin, I know that that probably everyone 774 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 2: feels different. 775 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 4: How much how much does he do? 776 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,800 Speaker 2: You feel just kind of indulgent in this one because 777 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 2: it's it's come with its adversity. You know, there are 778 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 2: years where you run through the mac. There are years 779 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 2: where you see some up and downs. But to go 780 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 2: through the way they went through it this year and 781 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 2: then again to turn to a red shirt freshman and say, hey, 782 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 2: not only do do we need you to kind of 783 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 2: captain this ship, but we're gonna send you on the 784 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,319 Speaker 2: road and try to go get that first win at Buffalo, right, 785 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 2: I mean, Toledo's a chance to kind of get your 786 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 2: feet wet and then you got to go on the road. 787 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 2: How special is this for a coach who has been 788 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 2: to this game before? But always there's always different things 789 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 2: you can take from a season to appreciate how you 790 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 2: got there. 791 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 12: Yeah, I think this one in our conversations and I 792 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,359 Speaker 12: want to speak for him, but obviously we've had some 793 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 12: of these and I don't think he would mind me sharing. 794 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 12: I think this is probably the most special journey that 795 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,360 Speaker 12: he's had to the championship game and hopefully cultivates in 796 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,319 Speaker 12: a huge win against a really, really good Western Michigan team. 797 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 12: But as you know, Tony working, you know, being a 798 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 12: player and at a high level and working with coaches, 799 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 12: I mean, this is their you know, twenty four to seven, 800 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 12: this is their livelihood. And to go through what this 801 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 12: team has and then to be where we are no 802 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 12: matter what happens on Saturday, I think, you know, I 803 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 12: can speak for most of our alumni. 804 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:29,839 Speaker 4: I hope they're extremely proud of. 805 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 12: The resilience and the overcoming the adversity and getting back 806 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 12: and sustain three years in a row. 807 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 4: You know, we won in twenty three, we lost in 808 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,319 Speaker 4: twenty four. Now we're back in twenty five. 809 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 12: And and coach said it in the post game, you know, 810 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 12: to the team, he goes, you know, we got there, 811 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:45,879 Speaker 12: but we want to win. 812 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,320 Speaker 4: It's getting there just a piece of the puzzle. 813 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,839 Speaker 12: But the really you know, getting that ring is and 814 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 12: having that championship is what we're here for so they'll 815 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 12: be ready to go. 816 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:55,320 Speaker 4: For sure. 817 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 2: The game itself, I know Lowry for Western Michigan was 818 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 2: the leading obviously the passer also ran for eighty two 819 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 2: yards against Miami that game end of October Jager Stadium. 820 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 2: Western Michigan led it what, fourteen to nine at half, 821 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 2: they let it seventeen nine going into the fourth, and 822 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 2: then a seventeen to nothing fourth quarter from Miami at home. 823 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 2: It's it's unique in a sense. It's always hard to 824 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 2: beat a team twice in a season. Now you get 825 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 2: this rematch with Western Michigan. You look at the odds, 826 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 2: things are pretty much split right down the middle. Right 827 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 2: now with the odds makers seeing this team once already, 828 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 2: how how difficult or what are those keys going to 829 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 2: be for Miami to find a way to win. 830 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 12: Yeah, his mobility is you know, is that advertising he is. 831 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 12: He's a tough you know multi you know, he can pass, 832 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 12: he can run. 833 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:42,800 Speaker 4: His legs are extremely dangerous. 834 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 12: We're obviously going to have to be disciplined with you know, 835 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 12: they run a rout of Reid option. You know, we're 836 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 12: gonna have to contain him. He's a lot like Parker 837 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 12: Navarro from OU.

What's up, Chuck? 1007 00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:31,880 Speaker 11: How are you doing, Tony? 1008 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,040 Speaker 2: Charlie? I am fantastic. How are you? 1009 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:36,040 Speaker 11: I'm doing great? 1010 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,880 Speaker 2: It's shootout day, Charlie. Does the Bearcats win the shootout tonight? 1011 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,520 Speaker 11: It is such a mismatch advantage in U See's favor. 1012 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,040 Speaker 11: They've just been so inconsistent, especially at the four and 1013 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,279 Speaker 11: the five where they would have that advantage that I 1014 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,880 Speaker 11: don't know how you can feel great, but a great 1015 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,799 Speaker 11: game for Miller and Seam makes this a pretty nice 1016 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:56,640 Speaker 11: U see advantage. 1017 00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,319 Speaker 2: Okay, that's all I needed to hear. Now I can 1018 00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 2: be I can rest easy. Let me get to this 1019 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,799 Speaker 2: as well before we get into the Bengals. There just 1020 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,440 Speaker 2: seems to be Charlie around the Reds a little bit 1021 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 2: more smoke when it comes to interest in Kyle Schwarber. 1022 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,120 Speaker 2: Does there feel like some legitimacy here? As this continues on. 1023 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,000 Speaker 11: The threads of a chance and it's a story I'm 1024 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:22,160 Speaker 11: very actively working on and monitoring and reporting and pursuing 1025 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,200 Speaker 11: when it's at the top of the notebook entering the 1026 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,319 Speaker 11: Winter meeting, entering the Winter Meeting next week. Now will 1027 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,120 Speaker 11: the Reds end up with kylics Warber? There are questions 1028 00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:33,040 Speaker 11: that will never have the answer to, like how much 1029 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,200 Speaker 11: is it worth to kyliceh Warber to be a Red? 1030 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 11: How does the market This is an answer I'll work 1031 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,440 Speaker 11: on next week. How does the market around the league 1032 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,799 Speaker 11: with teams like the Phillies, Mets Redstocks impact where the 1033 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:48,120 Speaker 11: Reds would stand in that conversation? But on the whole, 1034 00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:52,279 Speaker 11: they can offer them a pretty exciting opportunity and you know, 1035 00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:53,960 Speaker 11: maybe spend a bit above their means. 1036 00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:58,680 Speaker 2: Also with the Reds they bring back Amelio Pagan. Your 1037 00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,520 Speaker 2: thoughts on making sure to ending up the closer for 1038 00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:02,040 Speaker 2: next year. 1039 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 11: Yeah, a nice solid single up the middle. What I 1040 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,799 Speaker 11: was expecting, kind of what I was reporting at the 1041 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,440 Speaker 11: start of the off season from a bullpen perspective, was 1042 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,360 Speaker 11: that the Reds would have a very similar approach to 1043 00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,200 Speaker 11: what they did last year when like they got Stop 1044 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,400 Speaker 11: Barlow even after spring training started. But a better comparison 1045 00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,879 Speaker 11: might have been often Haese. But this is or a lever. 1046 00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,000 Speaker 11: But with Hayes last year, the markets settled, they got 1047 00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,319 Speaker 11: a value, they bought low, and they found something within 1048 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:33,960 Speaker 11: their budget. I think Pegan got to that point just 1049 00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:37,600 Speaker 11: in early December, in the first week in December, they 1050 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,600 Speaker 11: got that value contract without having to wait for it. 1051 00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:42,839 Speaker 11: And really that was just a reflection of how much 1052 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 11: Pegan wanted to be a Red This guy was very, 1053 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 11: very solid last season. A lot of people are on 1054 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 11: Baseball thought he should have been an All Star, people 1055 00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,799 Speaker 11: not around the Reds. To get him back on that 1056 00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,919 Speaker 11: contract is a nice, solid move for a guy who 1057 00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,640 Speaker 11: put real value in being Cincinnati. 1058 00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,719 Speaker 8: To go back to the Shorter Thing wrote this week 1059 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 8: about a potential path for the Reds to maybe get him, 1060 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 8: and you mentioned deferred money from what you've you know, 1061 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,360 Speaker 8: been been gathering. Does that feel like a real possibility. 1062 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,200 Speaker 8: I know, it's been a while since they've done it. 1063 00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,840 Speaker 11: King Griffey Junior, or Aldis Chapman, Brunson Arroyo and actually 1064 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,400 Speaker 11: Ryan Ludwick the examples of, you know, kind of a 1065 00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,279 Speaker 11: sneaky one, the examples of deferred money with this team 1066 00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,680 Speaker 11: at the place, it's a place they probably have to go. 1067 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:32,120 Speaker 11: It's very very much something on my radar of what 1068 00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,359 Speaker 11: they would have to do for the path to Shore 1069 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,760 Speaker 11: burw in terms of what that would be. Deferred money 1070 00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,759 Speaker 11: is to me, a real part of that conversation. 1071 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:45,760 Speaker 2: Gotcha, let's switch gears to the Bengals and the Bills. 1072 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:49,520 Speaker 2: It just feels, Charlie like there is just now this 1073 00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:54,520 Speaker 2: this momentum building nationally around the Cincinnati Bengals that obviously 1074 00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,040 Speaker 2: starts and stops. I think a lot with number nine, 1075 00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:58,680 Speaker 2: and we'll get to Joe Burrow in just a moment. 1076 00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:00,320 Speaker 2: But talk to me a little bit about the defense 1077 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:05,320 Speaker 2: their play, I think, especially over the last three games, specifically, 1078 00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,480 Speaker 2: what have you noticed on that side of the ball 1079 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,480 Speaker 2: that perhaps has led to more consistent play for Al 1080 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:12,480 Speaker 2: Golden's side. 1081 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,160 Speaker 11: The old line is action speak louder than words. So 1082 00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,960 Speaker 11: I look at how Golden's actions with their third down package. 1083 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,160 Speaker 11: They literally now are putting Demetrius Knight on the field 1084 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:25,960 Speaker 11: on third downs. That's a sign of confidence in the 1085 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:30,320 Speaker 11: rookie linebackers. They have a new package they've been using way, way, 1086 00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,799 Speaker 11: way more recently on third downs and passing situations where 1087 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,919 Speaker 11: it's two linebackers, three defensive linemen and then the rest 1088 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,160 Speaker 11: is their defensive backs. Well, when you have that instead 1089 00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,600 Speaker 11: of four defensive linemen, it's easier to have an extra 1090 00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,799 Speaker 11: guy drop or an extra guy blitz with more versatility 1091 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:51,040 Speaker 11: to drop and playing coverage behind that. You've seen Al 1092 00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:56,480 Speaker 11: have enough confidence in the IQ, the understanding, the sophistication 1093 00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,360 Speaker 11: of the scheme to start to dial up two and 1094 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 11: three hundred level plays with this defense. Now, they're not 1095 00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,359 Speaker 11: at the five hundred level that the twenty twenty two 1096 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:10,520 Speaker 11: Bengals defense was, but the play called themselves are screaming 1097 00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:14,320 Speaker 11: Al Golden saying, I have more confidence in these guys 1098 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,480 Speaker 11: to execute the vision of my defense and It was 1099 00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:21,160 Speaker 11: literally those plays that resulted in you know, a pick 1100 00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:25,359 Speaker 11: in the stripstack fumble in most of the key moments 1101 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,080 Speaker 11: for the defense in that win in Baltimore. 1102 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:31,040 Speaker 2: I look at the play of Miles Murphy and Joseph 1103 00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,799 Speaker 2: Osai and we've talked about it this week, but is 1104 00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,000 Speaker 2: there a correlation in your opinion, to Shamar Stewart and 1105 00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,480 Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson not playing the last couple of weeks where 1106 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,840 Speaker 2: those two in Osai and Murphy have found more confidence, 1107 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,600 Speaker 2: They've gotten more practice reps and in turn shown more 1108 00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:46,520 Speaker 2: production on the field. 1109 00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,920 Speaker 11: Absolutely, one thousand percent. And I don't have the specific 1110 00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:54,240 Speaker 11: specific numbers in front of me, but basically, between twenty 1111 00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,839 Speaker 11: twenty two and twenty twenty five, Joseph said had like 1112 00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:03,960 Speaker 11: ten total non garbage time third down pass rush situation 1113 00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:07,719 Speaker 11: reps where he rushed against the left tackle, So one 1114 00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,680 Speaker 11: more time on money downs when you need to rush 1115 00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,839 Speaker 11: the quarterback. In four years, Osi got to do it 1116 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:17,320 Speaker 11: like ten times, if you you know, seven more in 1117 00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,000 Speaker 11: the game that Henderson missed in twenty twenty two against 1118 00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,440 Speaker 11: the Buccaneers. Osai never got to do it. That's what 1119 00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,920 Speaker 11: he's best at. And I talked to him yesterday about this. 1120 00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,200 Speaker 11: Osai has dealt with the impact of a risk injury 1121 00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,720 Speaker 11: that he suffered in twenty twenty one. For his entire career. 1122 00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:37,600 Speaker 11: Osai rushes better from that side. From the defense facing 1123 00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,719 Speaker 11: right side against the left tackle. He says, I can't 1124 00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:42,759 Speaker 11: tell you how many more pass rush moves I have 1125 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,080 Speaker 11: rushing from that side. It's just he never got to 1126 00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,759 Speaker 11: do it because trailer was there. So train up being there, 1127 00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 11: let's oside do it. He's most comfortable with, most confident in, 1128 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,720 Speaker 11: and I believe it's sixteen out of his last nineteen 1129 00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:58,040 Speaker 11: pressures are against the left tackle. He wouldn't be get 1130 00:53:58,080 --> 00:53:59,360 Speaker 11: to do it. He wouldn't be getting to do that 1131 00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:00,360 Speaker 11: if Hendrickson. 1132 00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:07,080 Speaker 2: Available offensively talk about the offensive line growth a little bit, 1133 00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:10,640 Speaker 2: Charlie forty six pass attempts for Joe Burrow sack just 1134 00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:15,360 Speaker 2: once run game past game. You want to play December 1135 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,880 Speaker 2: and January and February football. You got to play in 1136 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,440 Speaker 2: cold you got to play in weather elements. What have 1137 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,160 Speaker 2: you seen with the growth of this offensive line that 1138 00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:24,680 Speaker 2: has impressed you the most recently? 1139 00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:29,440 Speaker 11: I think you have Amarus Mims playing like a rising 1140 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,880 Speaker 11: number one. It's funny like I look at the offensive 1141 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,279 Speaker 11: line now like a starting rotation, like you got your 1142 00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 11: number one, you're number two, you're number three, and it 1143 00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:39,880 Speaker 11: kind of doesn't matter who's playing. Were as much with 1144 00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:43,600 Speaker 11: the versatility of defensive lines, I see Mims as a 1145 00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:47,200 Speaker 11: rising number one. Dalton Riser has been a really important 1146 00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,719 Speaker 11: kind of innings eater for this team. You're seeing very 1147 00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:54,160 Speaker 11: few just bad losses. You're seeing really no just busted 1148 00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,480 Speaker 11: you know, blitz pickups to just mistakes where they look 1149 00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:01,080 Speaker 11: at it, it's a unit that's looking well coached. Orlando 1150 00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,759 Speaker 11: Brown has had trouble with some specific matchups, but outside 1151 00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 11: of that, his consistency is something you can bank on 1152 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,839 Speaker 11: well enough to you know, he's more than a good 1153 00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:14,719 Speaker 11: enough left tackle for a winning team. And then you 1154 00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:18,520 Speaker 11: know Ted Carriss has had, with better structure around him, 1155 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:22,719 Speaker 11: a nice strong year. Dylan fair Child, his tools are 1156 00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:26,840 Speaker 11: translating into real production. There were a lot. The underrated 1157 00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:29,120 Speaker 11: thing is too is there were have been a lot 1158 00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,200 Speaker 11: of moving pieces at guard over the course of the year. 1159 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:35,000 Speaker 11: You know turned out with Patrick, you had a Roisner 1160 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,080 Speaker 11: coming in, you had fair Child get hurt, you had 1161 00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,879 Speaker 11: Rivers in, you had Reisner come back, and even through 1162 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,239 Speaker 11: that rotation, You've had a good enough baseline level of play. 1163 00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:49,600 Speaker 2: The clearance of T Higgins, with what Jamar Chase is, 1164 00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,279 Speaker 2: with Joe Burrow finding nine different receivers last week, with 1165 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,120 Speaker 2: how Chase Brown has played, what are you expecting to 1166 00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:58,400 Speaker 2: see from this offense now getting T Higgins back in 1167 00:55:58,440 --> 00:55:59,120 Speaker 2: the fold as well. 1168 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,880 Speaker 11: The one thing the offense struggled with last week we 1169 00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:06,280 Speaker 11: all know was thread zone. I think there you really 1170 00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,960 Speaker 11: felt Higgins's absence. There was kind of a fifty to 1171 00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,719 Speaker 11: fifty ball opportunity to get SICKI were just the time 1172 00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,160 Speaker 11: and the rhythm wasn't on the same page or I 1173 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,759 Speaker 11: believe two to Tindley that Tinderley couldn't quite convert. I 1174 00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:20,759 Speaker 11: think there was a fourth down where they like ran 1175 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,319 Speaker 11: a play for Gsiki, which is nice, but you'd rather 1176 00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:27,480 Speaker 11: be running that play for Tea. There's a whole world 1177 00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,239 Speaker 11: of possibilities that open up with Tea in the red zone, 1178 00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,279 Speaker 11: and we of course know what he can do all 1179 00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,480 Speaker 11: over the field. But I feel unbelievable about this passing 1180 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,320 Speaker 11: game right now. And we haven't even seen this passing 1181 00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,280 Speaker 11: game with Higgins and Chase in what like three weeks, 1182 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:44,200 Speaker 11: and of course, we haven't seen it with Higgins, Chase 1183 00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:47,040 Speaker 11: and Burrow since Week two, so I'm excited to just 1184 00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:49,080 Speaker 11: take out the popcorn in Buffalo and see what they 1185 00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:49,520 Speaker 11: got cooked. 1186 00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,279 Speaker 8: When it comes to Buffalo, it is a bit of 1187 00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,080 Speaker 8: a unique matchup, and I think two teams that are 1188 00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,640 Speaker 8: kind of in the same spot with the way that 1189 00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,440 Speaker 8: their season has gone up and down at times. What 1190 00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,040 Speaker 8: do you feel like is is the best path to 1191 00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,360 Speaker 8: the Bengals pulling off the upset on Sunday. 1192 00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,239 Speaker 11: Well, my microscope is going to continue to be on 1193 00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:12,040 Speaker 11: the rookie linebackers because while I mentioned some real positive 1194 00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,880 Speaker 11: you saw put from them on passing downs, there were 1195 00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:18,400 Speaker 11: still moments where against the run from a tackling perspectives, 1196 00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,160 Speaker 11: they're still growing. Start at all the way there yet 1197 00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 11: they haven't arrived. And then when you combine that with 1198 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:27,520 Speaker 11: Buffalo's ability to just challenge you and really find a 1199 00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:31,800 Speaker 11: dynamic ear on outside runs in space that challenge the linebackers. 1200 00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:34,160 Speaker 11: And then I'll throw in the passing game too, because 1201 00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:37,680 Speaker 11: they're a team that's really well suited to execute the 1202 00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,200 Speaker 11: game plan that has been giving the defense. The Bengals 1203 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,600 Speaker 11: defense the most trouble in the passing game, that's throwing 1204 00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:45,800 Speaker 11: the ball out of two tight ends sets. That's making 1205 00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:49,240 Speaker 11: you get big and then challenging your linebackers and coverage 1206 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,520 Speaker 11: down the field. So the Bills can do that, the 1207 00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:53,800 Speaker 11: Bengals have to be better against that. And that's where 1208 00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:55,680 Speaker 11: that Chets match comes down to. To me that if 1209 00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:58,920 Speaker 11: the Bengals defense can make enough plays and turnovers and 1210 00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,920 Speaker 11: sacks like they did last week, that's their opportunity that. 1211 00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:02,400 Speaker 4: I was gonna say. 1212 00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,440 Speaker 8: I mean, we've seen, you know, obviously, Jalen Davis to 1213 00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:07,800 Speaker 8: the active roster, We've seen dj Ivy at times being 1214 00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:09,680 Speaker 8: the guy lined up on the tight ends. Do you 1215 00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,720 Speaker 8: think you know we'll see anything out of the ordinary 1216 00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,440 Speaker 8: from al Golden when it comes to specifically trying to 1217 00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:16,560 Speaker 8: defend those tight ends. 1218 00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:21,280 Speaker 11: That's interesting. So I haven't done this study. I could 1219 00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,080 Speaker 11: look it up real quick, but I can't right now. 1220 00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,240 Speaker 11: I would bet that the majority of tight end In fact, 1221 00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,440 Speaker 11: I can guarantee that the majority of tight end production 1222 00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:32,120 Speaker 11: has come on early downs. And I can guarantee that 1223 00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:35,480 Speaker 11: because one of my favorite stats that like dj Ivy 1224 00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:38,120 Speaker 11: has only allowed one like negative play in an entire 1225 00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:42,040 Speaker 11: NFL career. He's quietly like awesome in his role, and 1226 00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:46,400 Speaker 11: so he's guarding and taking away opportunities to the top 1227 00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:50,760 Speaker 11: tight end that the Bengals are prioritizing stopping on third downs, 1228 00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,479 Speaker 11: and I'm not expecting them to go dime on first 1229 00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:55,480 Speaker 11: or second down to take a tight end away. So 1230 00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,360 Speaker 11: you know, maybe it's more pressure that helps them speed 1231 00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,000 Speaker 11: up the opponent on first and second down and take 1232 00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,520 Speaker 11: away chances to tight end. But I don't see a 1233 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,200 Speaker 11: whole lot there outside of the guy just need to 1234 00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:05,680 Speaker 11: play better. 1235 00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,720 Speaker 8: How much do you think the weather will impact the 1236 00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,920 Speaker 8: game plan at all? And obviously Buffalo has struggled a 1237 00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:14,360 Speaker 8: little bit against the run. How much do you think 1238 00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:16,200 Speaker 8: Chase Brown plays a role in this game? 1239 00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,760 Speaker 11: Chase Brown's is really good. Chase Brown would play a 1240 00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:23,920 Speaker 11: role if they were playing at you know, Miami in 1241 00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,680 Speaker 11: ninety degree heat. Case Brown would play a role if 1242 00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:30,959 Speaker 11: they're playing at the Steelers on February first. Chase Brown 1243 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,480 Speaker 11: would play a role in any game the Bengals play 1244 00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,800 Speaker 11: with Tea without Tea, with Jamar without Jamar. He's earned 1245 00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:41,160 Speaker 11: that they're gonna call this game as weather independent as 1246 00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:42,680 Speaker 11: they could be. I don't even know what it's gonna 1247 00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:44,920 Speaker 11: be but they've shown that they're gonna put the ball 1248 00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:48,400 Speaker 11: in Burrows hands, They're gonna have balance. If there's a 1249 00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,240 Speaker 11: window and opportunity they see for Chase Brown, they're just 1250 00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:54,760 Speaker 11: gonna call the game, and unless it's some parential downpour, 1251 00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,600 Speaker 11: they're just gonna run their offense and try to exploit 1252 00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:59,959 Speaker 11: the weaknesses they think they see. 1253 01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,680 Speaker 2: I wonder, as Austin just mentioned the weather, are there 1254 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:05,080 Speaker 2: limitations or are there any concerns do we know from 1255 01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:08,360 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow yet? With the injury and the technology they 1256 01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,600 Speaker 2: got inside the shoe, is there anything that the weather 1257 01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:14,240 Speaker 2: could present and an issue for Joe Burrow? 1258 01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:18,440 Speaker 11: I have no idea. I don't think Burrow could know 1259 01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:20,560 Speaker 11: for sure either. Maybe it was something he was able 1260 01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,240 Speaker 11: to feel out and test during some very cold days 1261 01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:26,240 Speaker 11: in practice this week, including I believe one day where 1262 01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:29,080 Speaker 11: they were outside. He moved around better than I thought 1263 01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:33,000 Speaker 11: he would. In Baltimore. They also called a lot of 1264 01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,440 Speaker 11: plays early that got him on the move and controlled 1265 01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:38,320 Speaker 11: environments to that showed that they were willing to kind 1266 01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:42,760 Speaker 11: of do some without pushing too hard down that model. 1267 01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,200 Speaker 11: But it'll be one of the storylines of the game 1268 01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:45,560 Speaker 11: for sure. 1269 01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:48,520 Speaker 4: We see that it is as it relates to Burrow. 1270 01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:51,000 Speaker 2: You know, I think everyone was just so in all 1271 01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,400 Speaker 2: of him coming back in forty six pass attempts and 1272 01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,840 Speaker 2: no interceptions and the throws he was able to make 1273 01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:00,680 Speaker 2: from just his perspective, Like, as you watch Joe Burrow, 1274 01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:02,960 Speaker 2: what do you think he wants or needs to improve 1275 01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:05,240 Speaker 2: on now? From his first start back to now this 1276 01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:06,520 Speaker 2: game in Buffalo. 1277 01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:07,919 Speaker 3: He's good. 1278 01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:10,200 Speaker 11: There were some like two plays in the red zone 1279 01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,400 Speaker 11: early on where he probably kind of got out of 1280 01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:15,800 Speaker 11: the play or abandoned the play or got rid of 1281 01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:20,320 Speaker 11: the ball too soon. Ideally you start to see maybe 1282 01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,520 Speaker 11: like a key start down scramble or two that really 1283 01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:26,920 Speaker 11: shows the defenses. Yes, I can run, assuming that's something 1284 01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:30,000 Speaker 11: he can do with full confidence right now, which you know, 1285 01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:33,000 Speaker 11: let's see how he gets really downhill. That sprint speed 1286 01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:35,560 Speaker 11: is something I haven't seen yet and would need to see. 1287 01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:38,440 Speaker 11: But Burrow was great, especially in the second half. He 1288 01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:42,840 Speaker 11: had two elite, elite throws on those touchdowns. You know, 1289 01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,680 Speaker 11: I'm worried about the defense. Burrow to me is pretty 1290 01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:47,960 Speaker 11: close to classic December Joe Burrow. 1291 01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:50,880 Speaker 8: Of all the stuff with Burrow over the last you know, 1292 01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,800 Speaker 8: a couple of weeks and what has surprised you the most. 1293 01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:58,320 Speaker 11: I'm going to take this as an opportunity to talk 1294 01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:00,840 Speaker 11: about one of my favorite moments of Burrow's career, which 1295 01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:05,080 Speaker 11: was the touchdown to Andrea Yosivas Yosi vash late in 1296 01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:08,240 Speaker 11: the third quarter on Thursday night last week. Like that 1297 01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:12,240 Speaker 11: is some of the most high level instant processing and 1298 01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:17,960 Speaker 11: diagnosing and then firing his fastball with anticipation against the 1299 01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,320 Speaker 11: blitz that he had prepared like you wouldn't believe for, 1300 01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:23,920 Speaker 11: but a blitz that he said, is the most challenging 1301 01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:27,040 Speaker 11: look that Baltimore can throw at him. And then oh, 1302 01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:28,800 Speaker 11: by the way, they put a coverage behind it that 1303 01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,160 Speaker 11: Burrough hadn't seen what that blitz looked before.

You know, 1799 01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:46,519 Speaker 2: Richard Patino, do you think Austin is as someone you 1800 01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:50,479 Speaker 2: obviously follow, you see, but maybe not as invested as 1801 01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:56,200 Speaker 2: a super fan would be. Is there any possibility that 1802 01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:58,880 Speaker 2: you see loses this game and Wes Miller somehow still 1803 01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:01,639 Speaker 2: survives the season. Barring like a March Madness run. Yeah. 1804 01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:03,840 Speaker 4: Probably, I don't know. 1805 01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:08,000 Speaker 8: I mean, I just don't know if you sees in 1806 01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:09,760 Speaker 8: a spot financially to be able to do that. 1807 01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:12,640 Speaker 2: I mean, it's not a good spot to be in 1808 01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:17,439 Speaker 2: when there is just constant conversation happening around coaches at 1809 01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:22,439 Speaker 2: your university. You know, Scott Sadderfield, what's his future, Wes Miller, 1810 01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:25,479 Speaker 2: what's his future? It's it's right now, just not an 1811 01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:31,120 Speaker 2: enviable spot to be And again watching how crazy this 1812 01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:34,800 Speaker 2: current college coaching carousel is, do you even want to 1813 01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:37,400 Speaker 2: be doing that right now? If you're a university I 1814 01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:40,360 Speaker 2: think is a more fair question. Speaking of the college 1815 01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:45,280 Speaker 2: coaching charch, Matt Campbell is the guy now that is 1816 01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:48,320 Speaker 2: reported to be zeroing in on by Penn State. 1817 01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:51,679 Speaker 8: Yeah, looks like he's going to be the guy, which 1818 01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:54,880 Speaker 8: you know he's originally from. He's a massline guy Maslin, 1819 01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:58,479 Speaker 8: Ohio legend up there and a former head coach at Toledo. 1820 01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:00,120 Speaker 8: There was a time where he was one of the 1821 01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:02,760 Speaker 8: hotter coaching names in the country. Ends up going to 1822 01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:06,240 Speaker 8: Iowa State and it's kind of weird that nobody really 1823 01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:12,040 Speaker 8: brought his name up until now, But he is more 1824 01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:13,960 Speaker 8: than likely. By the end of the day, it looks 1825 01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:16,160 Speaker 8: like gonna be the new head coach at Penn State. 1826 01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:21,040 Speaker 2: I have a question, and it's completely off the topic 1827 01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:23,840 Speaker 2: of sports, sure, but there are oftentimes like do you 1828 01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:26,160 Speaker 2: ever watch like the social media videos from teams like 1829 01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:28,800 Speaker 2: NFL teams that they put out where as players are 1830 01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:30,680 Speaker 2: coming off the field, they'll ask him a question or 1831 01:28:30,800 --> 01:28:32,920 Speaker 2: things like that. I saw one from the New York 1832 01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:38,880 Speaker 2: Giants today and it asked, if you're clean getting out 1833 01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:43,400 Speaker 2: of the shower, how does your towel get dirty? 1834 01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:46,840 Speaker 4: It really made me think about that. How long do 1835 01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:47,800 Speaker 4: you use a towel now? 1836 01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:51,120 Speaker 2: Jamis Winston said it was because of the oils, So 1837 01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:55,439 Speaker 2: the oils cause problems. Others said, it's just you know, 1838 01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:58,479 Speaker 2: a towel that gets damped that many times. You know, 1839 01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:01,400 Speaker 2: it can be mildew or sure or maybe dirt particles. 1840 01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:06,840 Speaker 2: And it had me wondering, you know, from a showering standpoint, like, man, 1841 01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:10,519 Speaker 2: that's a good point. I would say that I go 1842 01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:13,280 Speaker 2: probably four showers with the same towel. 1843 01:29:14,320 --> 01:29:17,040 Speaker 4: What about you, I would. 1844 01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:19,080 Speaker 8: Say a little bit longer than that, the main reason 1845 01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:22,000 Speaker 8: being that I have to pay for laundry so I 1846 01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:26,800 Speaker 8: try to make them last. So I usually change it 1847 01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:30,600 Speaker 8: out every week, like every Sunday. Okay, but you know 1848 01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:34,640 Speaker 8: that could be the top canty sometimes be ten to 1849 01:29:34,680 --> 01:29:38,679 Speaker 8: fourteen showers over the course of a week, right, Okay, 1850 01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:44,880 Speaker 8: So yeah, No, I don't know that they necessarily are dirty, 1851 01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:50,320 Speaker 8: other than it's just like it's holding that moisture in 1852 01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:53,599 Speaker 8: for a while. Is probably it can be a build 1853 01:29:53,720 --> 01:29:56,839 Speaker 8: up of some sort of I don't know, bacterial issue. 1854 01:29:57,240 --> 01:30:00,000 Speaker 4: I love the Jamus thought of just oils on the box. 1855 01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:01,280 Speaker 4: We had. 1856 01:30:01,439 --> 01:30:04,240 Speaker 8: We had a company that I think one of our 1857 01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:07,200 Speaker 8: salespeople was trying to get them to advertise with us, 1858 01:30:07,280 --> 01:30:12,120 Speaker 8: and they sent some samples. And they were a company 1859 01:30:12,160 --> 01:30:16,559 Speaker 8: that made a spray for your your bath towel to 1860 01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:20,479 Speaker 8: keep it fresh basically, And they sent a bunch of 1861 01:30:20,479 --> 01:30:22,720 Speaker 8: these samples, and so I took one home with me 1862 01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:25,879 Speaker 8: and I used it. You know, you finish up your shower, 1863 01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:28,040 Speaker 8: you hang it back on the on things. You just 1864 01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:31,439 Speaker 8: give it a couple of sprays and if every time 1865 01:30:31,720 --> 01:30:34,040 Speaker 8: it seemed like it was fresh out of the laundry, 1866 01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:35,920 Speaker 8: worked well, It worked great. 1867 01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:41,360 Speaker 2: Okay, but very nice. Other quick sports, but that's one 1868 01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:44,200 Speaker 2: of those things it's like, do we really need it? Sure, 1869 01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:46,559 Speaker 2: it's a good question, you know, it's a good question. 1870 01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:50,680 Speaker 2: What's the difference between that and fabreeze? Mmm, you're the 1871 01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:54,599 Speaker 2: questions I would ask sat Axe goes for a state 1872 01:30:54,640 --> 01:30:59,320 Speaker 2: title against Olin, Tangi, Liberty, Ol and Tangy Orange. I'm sorry, 1873 01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:03,840 Speaker 2: Lewis Center all in Tangy Orange. That game happens tonight. Also, 1874 01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:06,720 Speaker 2: we've talked a lot about the shootout. Gonzaga Kentucky is 1875 01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:10,280 Speaker 2: also tonight. I think Kentucky shorthanded again in this one. 1876 01:31:10,320 --> 01:31:12,559 Speaker 2: Gonzaga going on the road to Kentucky is actually a 1877 01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:16,360 Speaker 2: like four and a half point favorite, So that's something 1878 01:31:16,360 --> 01:31:18,439 Speaker 2: to keep an eye on. And then we didn't mention 1879 01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:21,400 Speaker 2: this on air. Austin, did you see the donation that 1880 01:31:21,479 --> 01:31:22,960 Speaker 2: Michigan State received today? 1881 01:31:23,240 --> 01:31:23,719 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1882 01:31:23,920 --> 01:31:26,439 Speaker 2: Was it four hundred and one million dollars and one 1883 01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:31,200 Speaker 2: million dollars? Why the one that I don't know, why 1884 01:31:31,240 --> 01:31:35,400 Speaker 2: the one four hundred and one million dollars from one 1885 01:31:35,479 --> 01:31:39,960 Speaker 2: donor that correct, like not like multiple donors that got 1886 01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:44,240 Speaker 2: together and so let's do this collectively. But just one 1887 01:31:45,080 --> 01:31:52,320 Speaker 2: four hundred and one million dollar gift that's insane. Good 1888 01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:53,720 Speaker 2: for that parton I remember. 1889 01:31:54,920 --> 01:31:58,840 Speaker 8: I remember Rocky Greg and Don Williams, not the Greg 1890 01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:01,599 Speaker 8: Williams that had the team that tried to kill you. 1891 01:32:01,680 --> 01:32:01,760 Speaker 32: No. 1892 01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:04,160 Speaker 8: I remember Rocky Boyman telling him a story once about 1893 01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:07,160 Speaker 8: how he was, you know, had a good NFL career, 1894 01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:09,439 Speaker 8: but always one of those guys that was fighting, you know, 1895 01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:12,200 Speaker 8: special teams player, that type of stuff. He'd play some defense, 1896 01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:14,200 Speaker 8: but his you know, he'd have a teammate, you know, 1897 01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:18,479 Speaker 8: Robert Mathis would sign a four year extension for seventy 1898 01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:21,360 Speaker 8: two point eight million dollars, and Rocky's like, what do 1899 01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:22,280 Speaker 8: you need to point eight for? 1900 01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:22,720 Speaker 3: Right? 1901 01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:23,880 Speaker 4: Give the point eight? 1902 01:32:23,920 --> 01:32:27,160 Speaker 8: The guys like me, Yeah, And that's what I was 1903 01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:29,759 Speaker 8: thinking when I saw the four hundred and one million dollars. 1904 01:32:29,760 --> 01:32:33,240 Speaker 2: Probably makes the uh firing and buy out of Jonathan 1905 01:32:33,320 --> 01:32:35,439 Speaker 2: Smith a little easier to stomach. Now for Michigan State 1906 01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:38,679 Speaker 2: without a doubt, and the hiring of Pat Fitzgerald. 1907 01:32:38,200 --> 01:32:40,960 Speaker 8: Gives Pat Fitzgerald a big jump. And I think they're 1908 01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:45,439 Speaker 8: also planning pretty big renovation to their football about this which, 1909 01:32:45,479 --> 01:32:47,080 Speaker 8: by the way, that football seam is really cool. 1910 01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:47,920 Speaker 4: I went there last year. 1911 01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:52,400 Speaker 2: The Williams family also giving one hundred million dollars in 1912 01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:55,599 Speaker 2: addition to the four h one to a nonprofit tax 1913 01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:58,240 Speaker 2: Exemp Corporation set to raise funds for the athletic department. 1914 01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:04,080 Speaker 2: Nice good, good for the Williams family around Austin and 1915 01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:05,840 Speaker 2: I are also available for Christmas as well.

Okay, 1964 01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:44,439 Speaker 2: they've been cleared. 1965 01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:45,639 Speaker 3: Austin is in great standing. 1966 01:35:45,960 --> 01:35:48,680 Speaker 2: It is clear. It's also clear that NK is off 1967 01:35:48,680 --> 01:35:51,439 Speaker 2: to a great start in the Horizon League. They get 1968 01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:54,439 Speaker 2: off to a great start against Cleveland State and also 1969 01:35:54,479 --> 01:35:57,240 Speaker 2: I thought was a successful non conference had the game 1970 01:35:57,320 --> 01:36:00,639 Speaker 2: at Tennessee. You get a matchup against the top twenty team. 1971 01:36:01,040 --> 01:36:03,720 Speaker 2: They have two losses, but talk about the Norse right 1972 01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:07,200 Speaker 2: now as they roll into now more of the Horizon standings. 1973 01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:10,760 Speaker 16: Well, I just think the exciting part if you're an 1974 01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:14,599 Speaker 16: MKAU fan is typically you watch this team get better 1975 01:36:14,720 --> 01:36:15,479 Speaker 16: over the course. 1976 01:36:15,240 --> 01:36:15,759 Speaker 3: Of the season. 1977 01:36:15,880 --> 01:36:18,240 Speaker 16: You know, the defense takes some time to get to 1978 01:36:18,439 --> 01:36:21,320 Speaker 16: its peak and they find that chemistry and cohesion on 1979 01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:23,680 Speaker 16: that end of the floor with your their unique style. 1980 01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:24,400 Speaker 3: Of the matchup zone. 1981 01:36:24,439 --> 01:36:26,920 Speaker 16: And on the offensive end, you know, it seems like 1982 01:36:26,920 --> 01:36:28,639 Speaker 16: it always takes them a little bit time to find 1983 01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:30,320 Speaker 16: a little bit of time to find their flow and 1984 01:36:30,640 --> 01:36:33,840 Speaker 16: find their go to pieces as well. But I don't 1985 01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:35,280 Speaker 16: know if this year is just going to be different 1986 01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:37,800 Speaker 16: from that standpoint, or if we're in for the same 1987 01:36:37,840 --> 01:36:39,880 Speaker 16: line of progression and they're just a bit of head 1988 01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:42,200 Speaker 16: of schedule because one they have better athletes on the 1989 01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:44,599 Speaker 16: defensive end this year, and two they have a lot 1990 01:36:44,640 --> 01:36:47,640 Speaker 16: more firepower on the offensive end. They're really starting to 1991 01:36:47,680 --> 01:36:50,479 Speaker 16: click already, it would seem like, and I think there's 1992 01:36:50,520 --> 01:36:53,240 Speaker 16: still some upside for this team. So I don't think 1993 01:36:53,320 --> 01:36:55,720 Speaker 16: the optimism here in Highland Heights is unfounded at all. 1994 01:36:55,920 --> 01:36:58,640 Speaker 2: You mentioned perdue Fort Wayne. They lose to Oakland in 1995 01:36:58,680 --> 01:37:01,360 Speaker 2: their last doubting one oh one ninety two, so clearly 1996 01:37:01,400 --> 01:37:03,800 Speaker 2: putting up some points. That's an Oakland team that can 1997 01:37:03,800 --> 01:37:06,640 Speaker 2: score one hundred on any given night. From a horizon 1998 01:37:06,640 --> 01:37:09,599 Speaker 2: standpoint as a whole, what do things look like this 1999 01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:12,559 Speaker 2: year for NKU where they projected. Who are some teams 2000 01:37:12,560 --> 01:37:13,920 Speaker 2: they're going to be up against at the top of 2001 01:37:13,960 --> 01:37:14,519 Speaker 2: the standings. 2002 01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:18,240 Speaker 16: Yeah, they were projected middle of the pack this year. 2003 01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:20,400 Speaker 16: But I was one of the people who voted in 2004 01:37:20,400 --> 01:37:22,720 Speaker 16: that poll, and I'll tell you, Tony, it was a 2005 01:37:22,840 --> 01:37:25,639 Speaker 16: useless exercise. I mean, we're not just talking about teams 2006 01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:28,240 Speaker 16: that have completely turned over the roster and the transfer portal. 2007 01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:30,479 Speaker 16: We're talking about guys that don't have any Division One 2008 01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:32,640 Speaker 16: stats to go off of that they're making up these 2009 01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:34,680 Speaker 16: rosters with. I mean, you look across the league and 2010 01:37:34,680 --> 01:37:36,759 Speaker 16: it's like this team has three guys from the Division 2011 01:37:36,760 --> 01:37:40,120 Speaker 16: two level ANAIA guy, a JUCO guy, and two Division 2012 01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:42,439 Speaker 16: one transfers that didn't score a single point in their 2013 01:37:42,439 --> 01:37:44,519 Speaker 16: previous stop or something like that. I mean, it's like 2014 01:37:44,840 --> 01:37:47,160 Speaker 16: trying to figure out who was going to be where 2015 01:37:47,320 --> 01:37:50,000 Speaker 16: in the standings before the season started was just an 2016 01:37:50,040 --> 01:37:51,360 Speaker 16: absurd thing. 2017 01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:53,360 Speaker 3: To try to do, and I know because I did it. 2018 01:37:53,720 --> 01:37:55,599 Speaker 3: So Yeah, they were picked the middle of the pack. 2019 01:37:55,720 --> 01:37:57,400 Speaker 16: I thought that was meetingless. 2020 01:37:57,040 --> 01:37:57,439 Speaker 3: At the time. 2021 01:37:57,520 --> 01:37:59,920 Speaker 16: It's certainly even more meaningless now. But I do think 2022 01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:01,599 Speaker 16: the league is very good at the top. I think 2023 01:38:01,600 --> 01:38:04,280 Speaker 16: there's you know, four or five teams that are that 2024 01:38:04,360 --> 01:38:07,599 Speaker 16: are all top one fifty ish to two hundred level 2025 01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:10,320 Speaker 16: Ken Palm teams, and that's typically where you know the 2026 01:38:10,360 --> 01:38:11,679 Speaker 16: best teams in this league sit. 2027 01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:13,479 Speaker 3: So you know we're talking. 2028 01:38:13,280 --> 01:38:16,599 Speaker 16: About You mentioned Oakland is going to be good, Youngstown 2029 01:38:16,600 --> 01:38:19,479 Speaker 16: State is going to be good. I think NKU is 2030 01:38:19,479 --> 01:38:23,080 Speaker 16: certainly in that group. Robert Morris is expected to be 2031 01:38:23,120 --> 01:38:24,840 Speaker 16: good again, although it feels like they've been a little 2032 01:38:24,920 --> 01:38:27,320 Speaker 16: up and down to start the season. But I don't 2033 01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:31,400 Speaker 16: think there is a clear favorite going into conference play, 2034 01:38:31,800 --> 01:38:34,439 Speaker 16: and I definitely expect NKU to be in that top 2035 01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:35,360 Speaker 16: group of teams. 2036 01:38:36,120 --> 01:38:40,840 Speaker 2: Let's switch gears to the shootout tonight the Xavier Musketeers. 2037 01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:42,559 Speaker 2: I'll be quite honest, Rick, if you would have told 2038 01:38:42,600 --> 01:38:45,040 Speaker 2: me two weeks ago that Xavier was going to be 2039 01:38:45,120 --> 01:38:47,760 Speaker 2: favored in the shootout, I would have had you questioned 2040 01:38:48,439 --> 01:38:51,479 Speaker 2: for many different things. And yet here we are the 2041 01:38:51,560 --> 01:38:53,360 Speaker 2: day of the shootout, Xavier is a one and a 2042 01:38:53,400 --> 01:38:55,880 Speaker 2: half point favorite. I know what's happened on the UC 2043 01:38:56,040 --> 01:38:59,120 Speaker 2: side of things, and the team has just not played 2044 01:38:59,200 --> 01:39:02,080 Speaker 2: very good basketball. How did Xavier get to this point? 2045 01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:03,400 Speaker 2: How did they turn things around? 2046 01:39:04,840 --> 01:39:06,320 Speaker 16: You got to get a ton of credit to Richard 2047 01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:09,040 Speaker 16: Patino and his coaching staff. You know, I think it's 2048 01:39:09,080 --> 01:39:13,200 Speaker 16: always difficult for coaches to change what they're doing from 2049 01:39:13,200 --> 01:39:16,520 Speaker 16: a system standpoint, an X and OH standpoint, a scheme standpoint, 2050 01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:19,400 Speaker 16: but probably even more so in this current era where 2051 01:39:19,439 --> 01:39:21,960 Speaker 16: you're now assigning dollar amounts to the players that are 2052 01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:22,240 Speaker 16: on the. 2053 01:39:22,160 --> 01:39:22,680 Speaker 3: Floor for you. 2054 01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:25,080 Speaker 16: Right if you paid a lot of money for one 2055 01:39:25,080 --> 01:39:27,479 Speaker 16: of your starters and he's not producing, it's got to 2056 01:39:27,520 --> 01:39:29,439 Speaker 16: be tough to say, Yeah, we'll just going to tell 2057 01:39:29,479 --> 01:39:31,880 Speaker 16: our donors, sorry about that seven hundred and fifty thousand 2058 01:39:31,880 --> 01:39:33,280 Speaker 16: dollars you spent. We're going to sit this guy on 2059 01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:35,240 Speaker 16: the bench now, you know. So that that is like 2060 01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:37,120 Speaker 16: an interesting wrinkle that you have to think about with 2061 01:39:37,160 --> 01:39:39,280 Speaker 16: all of this stuff from a coaching perspective, and I've 2062 01:39:39,320 --> 01:39:41,919 Speaker 16: been really impressed with Richard Patino and his staff's willingness 2063 01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:44,160 Speaker 16: to just say, Hey, this guy's not producing or that 2064 01:39:44,200 --> 01:39:46,120 Speaker 16: guy's not producing, We're going to change up our lineup 2065 01:39:46,120 --> 01:39:48,519 Speaker 16: from game to game until we find the right group, 2066 01:39:48,880 --> 01:39:51,200 Speaker 16: and also to change what they what they're doing from 2067 01:39:51,240 --> 01:39:53,240 Speaker 16: a scheme standpoint. You know, they were very aggressive on 2068 01:39:53,280 --> 01:39:55,920 Speaker 16: ball screens early in the season, and their two point 2069 01:39:55,920 --> 01:39:59,400 Speaker 16: percentage defense really suffered as a result. Since then, they've 2070 01:39:59,439 --> 01:40:02,120 Speaker 16: done something to change that. They're playing more drop coverages, 2071 01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:05,160 Speaker 16: they're playing some zone defenses, and they've tried to make 2072 01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:07,240 Speaker 16: up for you know, the big change that they made 2073 01:40:07,479 --> 01:40:09,639 Speaker 16: from a lineup standpoint was going to a more small 2074 01:40:09,640 --> 01:40:13,600 Speaker 16: ball lineup with Jovan Milikovich, a stretch forward playing the 2075 01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:14,840 Speaker 16: center position for them. 2076 01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:16,240 Speaker 3: And so obviously they're. 2077 01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:18,519 Speaker 16: Making some concessions on the defensive end in their front 2078 01:40:18,560 --> 01:40:21,000 Speaker 16: court and at their rim, and some of those things 2079 01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:23,439 Speaker 16: that they've done defensively is have helped made up for 2080 01:40:23,520 --> 01:40:26,240 Speaker 16: that lack of a shop blocking presence and rim protector. 2081 01:40:26,800 --> 01:40:29,080 Speaker 2: The only player on both of these rosters that's played 2082 01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:31,720 Speaker 2: in a shootout before is Dade Thomas. I would imagine 2083 01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:34,040 Speaker 2: if you ask most Xavier fans, hey, who else do 2084 01:40:34,080 --> 01:40:36,559 Speaker 2: you know on the UC team, they wouldn't. I mentioned, 2085 01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:38,360 Speaker 2: if you asked a lot of UC fans name some 2086 01:40:38,439 --> 01:40:41,120 Speaker 2: Xavier players, they couldn't. That's just the nature of college 2087 01:40:41,120 --> 01:40:44,280 Speaker 2: basketball right now. So who are some names for the 2088 01:40:44,360 --> 01:40:46,559 Speaker 2: Musketeers tonight that are going to play a pivotal role 2089 01:40:46,840 --> 01:40:47,880 Speaker 2: in how this game goes? 2090 01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:52,000 Speaker 16: The name that I'm focused on mostly is Yovann Milichovich 2091 01:40:52,040 --> 01:40:54,040 Speaker 16: at the center spot. I mean, you see the top 2092 01:40:54,080 --> 01:40:56,760 Speaker 16: five defense in the country according to Kenpom right now, 2093 01:40:56,760 --> 01:40:58,680 Speaker 16: and a lot of that is because they have a 2094 01:40:58,720 --> 01:41:00,880 Speaker 16: seven foot two shot blocker and a six to eleven 2095 01:41:00,960 --> 01:41:02,000 Speaker 16: shot blocker. 2096 01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:02,639 Speaker 3: In their front court. 2097 01:41:02,960 --> 01:41:05,280 Speaker 16: Xavier strategy on the offensive end is to take a 2098 01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:07,559 Speaker 16: guy like that, a shot blocker, away from the rim, 2099 01:41:07,600 --> 01:41:09,439 Speaker 16: and forced him to play on the perimeter guarding a 2100 01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:12,479 Speaker 16: three point shooter in Yovann Milikovich, a thing a seven 2101 01:41:12,520 --> 01:41:14,280 Speaker 16: foot two guy is typically not comfortable with. 2102 01:41:14,760 --> 01:41:16,439 Speaker 3: So to me, that's the biggest like. 2103 01:41:16,400 --> 01:41:20,720 Speaker 16: Plot point in this game. How does you see handle that? 2104 01:41:21,320 --> 01:41:23,680 Speaker 16: What do they do defensively? Do they put sean on 2105 01:41:23,720 --> 01:41:25,800 Speaker 16: somebody else? Does that work out for them? Do they 2106 01:41:25,800 --> 01:41:28,439 Speaker 16: have to change what they typically do defensively and they're not. 2107 01:41:28,439 --> 01:41:29,280 Speaker 3: Quite as effective. 2108 01:41:29,600 --> 01:41:31,759 Speaker 16: Because if you're taking away you see his biggest strength, 2109 01:41:32,120 --> 01:41:34,320 Speaker 16: then that definitely changes this game and helps if you're 2110 01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:36,519 Speaker 16: out a lot. So Yovan Milichevich at the center spot, 2111 01:41:36,640 --> 01:41:39,040 Speaker 16: a three point shooter, definitely the biggest guy that I'm 2112 01:41:39,040 --> 01:41:41,000 Speaker 16: looking at. And then right next to him, Tray Carroll 2113 01:41:41,240 --> 01:41:43,479 Speaker 16: at the power forward spot, another guy who can stretch 2114 01:41:43,520 --> 01:41:45,080 Speaker 16: you from the perimeter, shoot to three. 2115 01:41:45,200 --> 01:41:46,000 Speaker 3: He's a little bit more. 2116 01:41:46,160 --> 01:41:49,360 Speaker 16: He's definitely more athletic than Yovonn, more of a playmaker. 2117 01:41:48,920 --> 01:41:49,400 Speaker 3: Off the bounce. 2118 01:41:49,400 --> 01:41:51,000 Speaker 16: He can drive you, he can get on the offensive 2119 01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:53,559 Speaker 16: glass a little bit more. He's another guy that you know, 2120 01:41:53,600 --> 01:41:55,080 Speaker 16: you can sit there and say, well, maybe Sean will 2121 01:41:55,120 --> 01:41:57,120 Speaker 16: just guard the power forward instead of the center if 2122 01:41:57,120 --> 01:41:59,000 Speaker 16: the center is a three point shooter. But in this 2123 01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:01,040 Speaker 16: case for Xavier, they have a another power forward that 2124 01:42:01,040 --> 01:42:03,920 Speaker 16: can also play on the perimeter and stretch the defense out. 2125 01:42:04,040 --> 01:42:06,240 Speaker 16: So I really think that's going to be one of 2126 01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:08,120 Speaker 16: the big keys from the Xavier perspective is how those 2127 01:42:08,120 --> 01:42:11,040 Speaker 16: two front court players play and how you see reacts 2128 01:42:11,040 --> 01:42:14,439 Speaker 16: to that from a defensive perspective. But then the other 2129 01:42:14,479 --> 01:42:17,280 Speaker 16: guy I think that everyone's pretty excited about from a 2130 01:42:17,400 --> 01:42:21,040 Speaker 16: Xavier's standpoint, is all Right. He came in with a 2131 01:42:21,080 --> 01:42:24,880 Speaker 16: reputation of kind of being a big game, excitable, emotional player. 2132 01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:27,120 Speaker 16: He started to come on as he's taken on the 2133 01:42:27,120 --> 01:42:28,240 Speaker 16: starting point guard position. 2134 01:42:28,280 --> 01:42:30,719 Speaker 3: He's played better. He's had a few big scoring games. 2135 01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:31,920 Speaker 3: He's the one. 2136 01:42:31,760 --> 01:42:33,080 Speaker 16: Guy that I think a lot of x fans are 2137 01:42:33,080 --> 01:42:36,240 Speaker 16: looking at as a potential X factor. If you will 2138 01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:38,320 Speaker 16: to get hot and be the You know, we've heard 2139 01:42:38,360 --> 01:42:40,519 Speaker 16: that narrative from both sides for so long of you 2140 01:42:40,640 --> 01:42:43,439 Speaker 16: see whining about all this random guy on Xavier's team 2141 01:42:43,479 --> 01:42:45,360 Speaker 16: got hot and throw in a bunch of threes against us. 2142 01:42:45,360 --> 01:42:46,080 Speaker 3: That was unfair. 2143 01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:48,760 Speaker 16: If that's going to happen tonight, all writes the name 2144 01:42:48,800 --> 01:42:49,479 Speaker 16: to look out for. 2145 01:42:49,560 --> 01:42:52,720 Speaker 2: You mentioned malisavij He's shooting almost forty seven percent from 2146 01:42:52,800 --> 01:42:55,640 Speaker 2: three at home this year, so that is not just 2147 01:42:55,720 --> 01:42:58,040 Speaker 2: a flash and a pen. He can he can light 2148 01:42:58,080 --> 01:43:02,160 Speaker 2: it up from outside. I'm interest for Xavier this year 2149 01:43:02,240 --> 01:43:04,639 Speaker 2: because I talked and I asked on this show Xavier 2150 01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:08,599 Speaker 2: fans about expectations going into the year, and there wasn't 2151 01:43:08,640 --> 01:43:11,240 Speaker 2: a lot of expectations. That's completely different on the other 2152 01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:14,160 Speaker 2: side here, this is an expectation for UC this year 2153 01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:16,439 Speaker 2: to get to the NCAA tournament. It's an expectation for 2154 01:43:16,520 --> 01:43:19,640 Speaker 2: Wes Miller to beat Xavier. Is that an advantage for 2155 01:43:19,800 --> 01:43:22,000 Speaker 2: Xavier coming into a game like this where it does 2156 01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:24,240 Speaker 2: feel like there is an immense amount of pressure on 2157 01:43:24,320 --> 01:43:25,360 Speaker 2: the coach for the Bearcats. 2158 01:43:26,520 --> 01:43:29,679 Speaker 16: I think it's a massive advantage, especially if West doesn't 2159 01:43:29,680 --> 01:43:32,679 Speaker 16: handle that well. And I think recent results would show 2160 01:43:32,720 --> 01:43:34,559 Speaker 16: he hasn't done all that well with the pressure. It 2161 01:43:34,560 --> 01:43:36,240 Speaker 16: feels like the walls are starting to cave in a 2162 01:43:36,240 --> 01:43:38,519 Speaker 16: little bit on him, especially with the fan base and 2163 01:43:38,560 --> 01:43:40,960 Speaker 16: the booing and the lack of crowd showing up. And 2164 01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:43,040 Speaker 16: I think you've seen that trickle down to his players 2165 01:43:43,040 --> 01:43:45,200 Speaker 16: a little bit. Things looked a little uncomfortable the last 2166 01:43:45,240 --> 01:43:48,000 Speaker 16: few games. The body language wasn't great. It didn't look 2167 01:43:48,040 --> 01:43:50,840 Speaker 16: like a real connected unit. That's my biggest concern for 2168 01:43:50,920 --> 01:43:53,639 Speaker 16: this UC team. If Xavier switches to his own defense 2169 01:43:53,640 --> 01:43:55,320 Speaker 16: in the second half or something, and you go four 2170 01:43:55,320 --> 01:43:57,840 Speaker 16: minutes without scoring and the walls start to cave in 2171 01:43:57,880 --> 01:43:59,639 Speaker 16: on you, and the Sintas center gets loud and Xavier 2172 01:43:59,640 --> 01:44:00,519 Speaker 16: throws in few. 2173 01:44:00,320 --> 01:44:02,200 Speaker 3: Threes, how are they going to react? 2174 01:44:02,520 --> 01:44:05,679 Speaker 16: Recently it hasn't looked good. But you go back a few, 2175 01:44:05,720 --> 01:44:07,000 Speaker 16: you know, a few weeks ago, and I thought they've 2176 01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:10,439 Speaker 16: performed really well against a very talented opponent in Louisville 2177 01:44:10,479 --> 01:44:12,320 Speaker 16: for about twenty five to thirty minutes of that game. 2178 01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:15,080 Speaker 16: So it really depends on which UCEE team shows up. 2179 01:44:15,240 --> 01:44:17,920 Speaker 16: But the pressure point that you you mentioned, and the 2180 01:44:17,960 --> 01:44:21,479 Speaker 16: fact that Wes Miller is probably the central figure in 2181 01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:24,800 Speaker 16: this year's crossdown shootout, I would definitely lean towards an 2182 01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:25,479 Speaker 16: advantag Xavier. 2183 01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:30,160 Speaker 2: There How has Patino leaned into this rivalry because for me, 2184 01:44:30,920 --> 01:44:34,000 Speaker 2: in growing up and watching this rivalry closely, you know, 2185 01:44:34,120 --> 01:44:35,680 Speaker 2: gone are the years where you have the three and 2186 01:44:35,760 --> 01:44:37,880 Speaker 2: four year guys that have grown up in this rivalry 2187 01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:40,400 Speaker 2: and they know what it's about. So for a lot 2188 01:44:40,439 --> 01:44:43,600 Speaker 2: of these players on both sides playing for UC and 2189 01:44:43,680 --> 01:44:45,640 Speaker 2: Xavior this year, they've not been in a game with 2190 01:44:45,680 --> 01:44:48,640 Speaker 2: this type of environment, with this type of crowd, with 2191 01:44:48,720 --> 01:44:52,720 Speaker 2: this type of energy and animosity and atmosphere. Is there 2192 01:44:52,720 --> 01:44:55,720 Speaker 2: anything different Patino has done throughout the week to kind 2193 01:44:55,720 --> 01:44:58,360 Speaker 2: of prepare players for that. Have have they had other 2194 01:44:58,720 --> 01:45:00,680 Speaker 2: you know, players that have played in this before come 2195 01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:02,519 Speaker 2: back and talk to the team or has it just 2196 01:45:02,600 --> 01:45:04,080 Speaker 2: been a normal work week for Beatino? 2197 01:45:05,840 --> 01:45:09,040 Speaker 16: You know, I think there's only so much you can 2198 01:45:09,080 --> 01:45:13,240 Speaker 16: do when you are an outsider. Your entire team is 2199 01:45:13,280 --> 01:45:16,240 Speaker 16: an outsider, and no one has any experience in this 2200 01:45:16,320 --> 01:45:18,719 Speaker 16: game really, aside from you know, some walk Ons. Roddy 2201 01:45:18,760 --> 01:45:20,439 Speaker 16: Anderson was on the bench last year as a red 2202 01:45:20,439 --> 01:45:22,120 Speaker 16: shirt for this game, so I guess he's seen it 2203 01:45:22,160 --> 01:45:26,600 Speaker 16: at least, But there's not much you can really say beforehand, 2204 01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:28,719 Speaker 16: other than like, hey, the crowd's going to be loud, 2205 01:45:28,960 --> 01:45:30,720 Speaker 16: you know, unless Richard Patina was going to go out 2206 01:45:30,720 --> 01:45:32,240 Speaker 16: there and say, hey, I'll punch Wes Miller in the 2207 01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:35,000 Speaker 16: face before the game tips off, just to get the 2208 01:45:35,080 --> 01:45:37,479 Speaker 16: juice flowing a little bit. Yeah, Like, I don't know 2209 01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:39,439 Speaker 16: what he's really going to say that would satisfy like 2210 01:45:39,439 --> 01:45:41,720 Speaker 16: the fans craving for the hatred of this rivalry and 2211 01:45:41,760 --> 01:45:43,840 Speaker 16: the do you understand how important. 2212 01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:45,519 Speaker 3: This is to us aspect of it? And I think 2213 01:45:45,520 --> 01:45:46,360 Speaker 3: that's part of what's. 2214 01:45:46,160 --> 01:45:48,519 Speaker 16: Always lost when we talk about like, but where does 2215 01:45:48,520 --> 01:45:51,400 Speaker 16: it rank among other rivalries? And has the shootout lost 2216 01:45:51,439 --> 01:45:53,680 Speaker 16: its luster with all the transfer portal stuff going on 2217 01:45:53,720 --> 01:45:56,760 Speaker 16: all that. It's yes, players that were around for four 2218 01:45:56,840 --> 01:45:59,200 Speaker 16: years learned to hate each other and be a part 2219 01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:00,120 Speaker 16: of the rivalry too. 2220 01:46:00,320 --> 01:46:02,320 Speaker 3: But the rivalry has always been. 2221 01:46:02,200 --> 01:46:05,640 Speaker 16: About the fact that there's two schools that are idealistically 2222 01:46:05,680 --> 01:46:08,639 Speaker 16: complete opposites, and people in the same city attend those 2223 01:46:08,640 --> 01:46:11,599 Speaker 16: schools that aren't very far apart, and as a result, 2224 01:46:11,680 --> 01:46:14,040 Speaker 16: they hate each other, and that's what the shootout is about. 2225 01:46:14,080 --> 01:46:15,400 Speaker 3: They'll teach the players to hate it. 2226 01:46:15,479 --> 01:46:17,679 Speaker 16: The Zager fans will get the idea when the crowd 2227 01:46:17,760 --> 01:46:20,519 Speaker 16: is rocking, like it hasn't been thirty minutes before tip 2228 01:46:20,560 --> 01:46:23,559 Speaker 16: off for a single game yet this year, they'll get 2229 01:46:23,600 --> 01:46:25,720 Speaker 16: that this game is different. And I think talking to 2230 01:46:25,720 --> 01:46:27,639 Speaker 16: some of the former players that have played in this game, 2231 01:46:27,680 --> 01:46:29,880 Speaker 16: even going back to the years where you did have 2232 01:46:30,240 --> 01:46:33,400 Speaker 16: three four year players that got to experience the crossdown 2233 01:46:33,400 --> 01:46:35,720 Speaker 16: shot out multiple times, all of them have pretty much 2234 01:46:35,720 --> 01:46:38,400 Speaker 16: told me, you know, the things you learn about the 2235 01:46:38,400 --> 01:46:40,960 Speaker 16: shootout happened after you play the game. The memories come 2236 01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:43,479 Speaker 16: from what happened after the game and after the emotions 2237 01:46:43,479 --> 01:46:45,759 Speaker 16: were running high. It's not really a thing you prepare 2238 01:46:45,800 --> 01:46:46,599 Speaker 16: for a half of time. 2239 01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:50,840 Speaker 2: How do you view this game tonight and what it 2240 01:46:50,880 --> 01:46:53,200 Speaker 2: comes down to? What are your keys? If Xavier is 2241 01:46:53,240 --> 01:46:55,160 Speaker 2: going to leave this game tonight with a win, how 2242 01:46:55,160 --> 01:46:55,719 Speaker 2: does it happen? 2243 01:46:57,200 --> 01:46:59,240 Speaker 16: Well, I think it really comes down to what we 2244 01:46:59,280 --> 01:47:02,200 Speaker 16: talked about at which is Xavier's front court being able 2245 01:47:02,200 --> 01:47:05,840 Speaker 16: to change UC's defense. Whether that's they allow them to 2246 01:47:05,880 --> 01:47:07,559 Speaker 16: shoot a lot of threes and they get hot and 2247 01:47:07,560 --> 01:47:10,280 Speaker 16: in Xavier's front court carries them from an offensive perspective, 2248 01:47:10,640 --> 01:47:13,880 Speaker 16: or if U See has to make some concessions change 2249 01:47:13,880 --> 01:47:16,320 Speaker 16: how they're playing, and that opens up some other wrinkles 2250 01:47:16,320 --> 01:47:18,920 Speaker 16: for Xavier's offense. I think that's really the key, because 2251 01:47:19,080 --> 01:47:21,240 Speaker 16: it's not able to get the front court going and 2252 01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:23,080 Speaker 16: kind of screw you see up there a little bit, 2253 01:47:23,160 --> 01:47:25,679 Speaker 16: getting them stretched out on the perimeter with their bigs. 2254 01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:28,599 Speaker 16: I'm not sure Xavier can score much against this UC defense, 2255 01:47:28,640 --> 01:47:31,920 Speaker 16: which is pretty damn good. And Xavier certainly has its 2256 01:47:31,920 --> 01:47:34,840 Speaker 16: deficiencies in other areas, especially when we talk about their 2257 01:47:34,920 --> 01:47:37,120 Speaker 16: lack of two point defense, so you know, I think 2258 01:47:37,240 --> 01:47:39,479 Speaker 16: UC needs to make sure they're attacking and getting the 2259 01:47:39,479 --> 01:47:42,920 Speaker 16: ball inside and scoring against Xavier's lack of rim protection. 2260 01:47:43,240 --> 01:47:44,920 Speaker 16: And on the other side, I think Xavier needs to 2261 01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:47,439 Speaker 16: try to stretch UC out and get their front court 2262 01:47:47,479 --> 01:47:49,960 Speaker 16: going from the perimeter to bring UC's bigs away from 2263 01:47:49,960 --> 01:47:52,439 Speaker 16: that basket and soften that UC defense up a little bit. 2264 01:47:52,800 --> 01:47:56,920 Speaker 16: I don't see another path to victory for Xavier really, 2265 01:47:56,960 --> 01:47:59,559 Speaker 16: other than them making a lot of threes in this game. 2266 01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:02,160 Speaker 16: If they win it without shooting well from the perimeter, 2267 01:48:02,240 --> 01:48:03,160 Speaker 16: I'd be pretty shocked. 2268 01:48:04,160 --> 01:48:06,360 Speaker 2: Is this your last hit of the shootout week? Do 2269 01:48:06,360 --> 01:48:08,280 Speaker 2: you have more lined up? I feel like I've seen 2270 01:48:09,320 --> 01:48:11,800 Speaker 2: a lot this week You've talked about this game a lot. 2271 01:48:11,840 --> 01:48:13,800 Speaker 2: Does it get to a point for your you where 2272 01:48:13,800 --> 01:48:15,679 Speaker 2: you're just ready for this game to happen as well? 2273 01:48:16,840 --> 01:48:19,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I love the Crosstown shoot. I always have since 2274 01:48:19,800 --> 01:48:20,439 Speaker 3: I was a kid. 2275 01:48:20,520 --> 01:48:23,760 Speaker 16: I think the city has does such a good job 2276 01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:26,280 Speaker 16: with it. I mean, we really understand how to do 2277 01:48:26,320 --> 01:48:28,439 Speaker 16: a rivalry in the city.
