Speaker 2: Head away, we go our second hour tonight from Longnecks
Speaker 2: in Wilder, our destination the remainder of this Bengal season
Speaker 2: and into their playoff run.
Speaker 3: After they win four straight, the Ravens.
Speaker 2: Lose two of four and the Steelers lose three of four,
Speaker 2: so we have to tie in there.
Speaker 3: They win all tie breakers. Let's talk Bearcats.
Speaker 2: Next up the Liberty Bowl versus Navy in Memphis. Friday,
Speaker 2: January the second. Let's do that with the man from
Speaker 2: Bearcat Journal Bearcat journal dot com, Chad Brendle.
Speaker 3: How are you.
Speaker 4: Then, You guys are live from the dispensary tonight.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, working on scenarios of minuscule opportunities. You would
Speaker 2: be the perfect person to ask this question because in
Speaker 2: the last week, let's see Bearcat assistant GM Curter Wilson
Speaker 2: is headed to USF According to reports today, the report
Speaker 2: is a staffer is headed to Penn State to be
Speaker 2: an assistant GM Jack Griffith. You, as well as anybody,
Speaker 2: knows the inner workings and the importance of a front
Speaker 2: office structure. Now in college athletics, how significant are these
Speaker 2: departures where you see football?
Speaker 4: Incredibly significant. I mean Carter Wilson was in charge of
Speaker 4: high school scouting recruiting. He's the guy that you know
Speaker 4: essentially put together the recruiting board for high school recruits,
Speaker 4: and Jack Griffith put together the board for the transfer portal. Wow.
Speaker 4: So you've still got the head of the Snake and
Speaker 4: Zach Grant at GM, but his two top lieutenants are
Speaker 4: now headed elsewhere. So that you know the Carter Wilson
Speaker 4: one it hurts, but you just finished your signing class,
Speaker 4: so you know you've got time to replace that specific position.
Speaker 4: But with Zach Griffith, that's you know, the portal opens
Speaker 4: the second and he's been working on that, you know,
Speaker 4: diligently since the portal closed last year. And to lose him,
Speaker 4: you know, basically on the eve of the transfer portal,
Speaker 4: that's a that's a significant hole to fill and Zach
Speaker 4: Grant's gonna have to go find somebody that is equally
Speaker 4: as adapt at mining the transfer portal. I mean, we
Speaker 4: had a story about it that we talked about on
Speaker 4: this show about a month ago where you know, eighteen
Speaker 4: of the twenty one guys they brought in and the
Speaker 4: transfer portal populated the too deep and you know also
Speaker 4: Jake Golda, Brendan Soresby and you know guys guys that
Speaker 4: were a big part of this team were part of
Speaker 4: that transfer portal process from from Jack and that's a
Speaker 4: that's a big hole to fill with the transfer portal
Speaker 4: about the opens.
Speaker 5: And by the way, Ched, I have the Liberty Ball
Speaker 5: on radio, so I'll be calling you in the next
Speaker 5: week or so to get all your information anyway, right, No,
Speaker 5: so the same question. But now let's talk to the
Speaker 5: talk about the players who is in danger of entering
Speaker 5: the portal. I guess let's start with with Soresby. Is
Speaker 5: he a guy that you think is going to stay
Speaker 5: or is he out? Or what do you think?
Speaker 4: And I don't think he's made a decision yet, but
Speaker 4: he's going to be a very popular name if he
Speaker 4: does enter the transfer portal. I've heard ballpark numbers and
Speaker 4: you're talking millions at a new destination if he chooses
Speaker 4: to go that route. So uh, with Cincinnati's financials, I
Speaker 4: don't know that you know, they they can get all
Speaker 4: the way up in that ballpark of what he's going
Speaker 4: to be looking at. So it's definitely something that you
Speaker 4: have to keep an eye on because you know, if
Speaker 4: I had to bet you get one last shot at
Speaker 4: this to go make a whole bunch of money, it's
Speaker 4: going to be really difficult for Cincinnati to keep him.
Speaker 4: And you know, they haven't made any announcements on whether
Speaker 4: he's going to be at the Bowl game or not.
Speaker 4: But I kind of would be surprised if he played
Speaker 4: the way things are, you know where things stand at
Speaker 4: the moment.
Speaker 2: Well, and that was going to be the follow up
Speaker 2: chatter are they proceeding? How are they proceeding in terms
Speaker 2: of expectations of from Sorsby to Corleone to Royer to
Speaker 2: gold Ay even playing in the bowl game.
Speaker 4: Well, Corleone and Goldey were both pretty beat up by
Speaker 4: the end of the season. I think that announcement everybody,
Speaker 4: you know, why did why did Dante Corleon announce he
Speaker 4: was going to the draft when he was out of eligibility.
Speaker 4: I had to guess that was, you know, I'm not
Speaker 4: going to be in Memphis. Yeah, so I wouldn't expect
Speaker 4: to see him. I wouldn't be surprised to see Golday,
Speaker 4: although gold as kind of a kind of a machine,
Speaker 4: so it wouldn't shock me if he wanted to play.
Speaker 4: But we haven't had a practice availability yet, so I
Speaker 4: don't know exactly what that's going to look like. But
Speaker 4: you know, you just lost Christian Harrison, who was one
Speaker 4: of your best defensive back to the transfer portal. I
Speaker 4: wouldn't expect to see him play. And ultimately, I mean
Speaker 4: you know this as well as I do, Rocky, in
Speaker 4: this day and age, the last thing you want to
Speaker 4: see as your bowl game opponent is a service Academy.
Speaker 2: I was just going to s this is not exactly
Speaker 2: an ideal matchup, is it.
Speaker 4: No, because they're not going to have opt outs like
Speaker 4: those guys. You know you can leave. I guess you
Speaker 4: can leave enter the transfer portal your freshman and sophomore year,
Speaker 4: but once you hit your junior year, like you're locked in.
Speaker 4: You can't transfer out of the military academies. So they
Speaker 4: don't have to worry really about the transfer portal with
Speaker 4: their roster. They don't have to worry about whether guys
Speaker 4: are going to be locked in for this. So in
Speaker 4: terms of kind of worst case scenario of an opponent
Speaker 4: in today's day and age, you really don't want to
Speaker 4: play a service academy unless you're in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me squeeze in one on the on the
Speaker 2: basketball with a trip to Atlanta.
Speaker 3: Take on Georgia.
Speaker 2: How I mean, we know what they've done in non conference,
Speaker 2: we know what's coming in the Big Twelve. We I mean,
Speaker 2: if we're looking resume building and need to put things
Speaker 2: on the board, I mean, how important is a Saturday
Speaker 2: opportunity against Georgia.
Speaker 4: It's critical. I mean, you can't if you're playing if
Speaker 4: this is tournament or bust for West Miller, and you
Speaker 4: really need to get over this hump. You've got to
Speaker 4: have some wins in this non conference now You've got
Speaker 4: you know, if you look at kenpom George's twenty four,
Speaker 4: Clemson's twenty five, So you've got two golden opportunities remaining, yep,
Speaker 4: to put some wins on the board. But you've got
Speaker 4: to stack them. You've eliminated any and all legal room
Speaker 4: with the way things had played out over the first
Speaker 4: six weeks of the season. So for five weeks of
Speaker 4: the season, whatever it is, you better start putting some
Speaker 4: wins on the board. And that starts Saturday against a
Speaker 4: team that really good on offense, really good on defense.
Speaker 4: They're averaging like ninety nine points a game that if
Speaker 4: you look at their you know their metrics, they're good
Speaker 4: at pretty much everything. So this is going to take
Speaker 4: an incredible effort from Wes's team if they're going to
Speaker 4: get this win.
Speaker 2: All right, uh, Bowl season Portal, you name it, the basketball.
Speaker 3: There's a lot going on. You guys are all all
Speaker 3: over it.
Speaker 2: Lay out what the listeners find at bearkadjournal dot com.
Speaker 4: I mean, if you like more information on the two
Speaker 4: guys that left. We've got everything up on the board.
Speaker 4: Keegan's got a couple articles up that covers both of
Speaker 4: those departures for Cincinnati, and we're getting you ready for
Speaker 4: Georgia on Saturday, getting you ready for Navy on January second.
Speaker 4: And Rocky, there is good news. Have you ever done
Speaker 4: the Liberty Ball before?
Speaker 3: I have, yes, a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4: So you know that there's Rendezvous Barbecue in the press box.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure if I've ever got any of that,
Speaker 5: but I've been to Rendezvous Barbecue a bunch of times,
Speaker 5: but not in the press box, but I will Thanks
Speaker 5: for letting me know that it would be good.
Speaker 4: Well, maybe it's changed, but the last time we were
Speaker 4: at the Liberty Bowl, the press box meal for the
Speaker 4: media was Rendezvous Barbecue.
Speaker 3: Very nice, very nice.
Speaker 4: If it's not that anymore, you better pull some strings. Well.
Speaker 3: And now they got the construction going.
Speaker 5: So now because I did a game at Memphis this
Speaker 5: year and the press boxes on the opposite side now
Speaker 5: or the the T booth, and I assume the radio
Speaker 5: booth is on the opposite side of the press box now,
Speaker 5: so I don't know, but either way I will find
Speaker 5: you and I will find Rendezvous Barbecue and we'll have that.
Speaker 4: Are you at Gus's? Fan Rocky got this?
Speaker 3: Guss's is that barbecue.
Speaker 4: Chicken I've ever had?
Speaker 3: I'm all right, all right.
Speaker 4: Is awesome, but Gus is his otherworldly? All right?
Speaker 2: By the way, if I could, and this will have
Speaker 2: nothing to do with sports, but I just thought of it,
Speaker 2: and I hate mentioning other places. But of all things,
Speaker 2: Dave Miley, the former Reds manager, reads my random thoughts
Speaker 2: and and then he texts me his random thoughts, and
Speaker 2: he told me that Kelly and I have to get
Speaker 2: chicken at Saint Leon Tavern?
Speaker 3: Do I recall correctly? Did when I is it camp?
Speaker 3: One year? Did you not take me there for chicken?
Speaker 4: Do I?
Speaker 3: Do I remember? Correctly?
Speaker 2: Didn't we have lunch there at Saint Leon Tavern?
Speaker 4: I've been doing this so long, I've had it. And
Speaker 4: if you like the peppery Indiana fried chicken like that,
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 2: You don't well, if you don't remember you have been there?
Speaker 2: You did you take me there? Didn't take you remember
Speaker 2: that you took me there? I think you took me
Speaker 2: there and said you gotta try this. Who else would
Speaker 2: I have gone?
Speaker 4: Very all right, nobody probably.
Speaker 3: Maybe it was cough. No, I think it was you.
Speaker 4: I don't know, all right, I mean I'm not doubting that.
Speaker 4: I'm just i've got i've got a bad memory.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're just old. And thank you sir. We'll talk
Speaker 3: next week. There you go. Brenda Hope, bear Cat Turtle
