Jason Stewart manci Belagos. 19 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 3: You guys offended by Opening Day just featuring one game. 20 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 4: I'm gonna fend by the way. 21 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 3: I'm totally digging in by opening. 22 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 4: It's not it's not offended. 23 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 5: It's not Opening Day, Opening days tomorrow, h today is 24 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 5: Opening Night. What I'm more annoyed by, why are we 25 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 5: kicking things off with this inner league play, with this 26 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 5: inner league game. The Giants and the Yankees. 27 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 4: What why are we doing that? See, the NFL has 28 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 4: it right. 29 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 5: Oh, the the defending NFL champions will be kicking off 30 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 5: the season on September. 31 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 4: When that day, thank you they Okay. 32 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 5: So if you would have said the Yankees and the 33 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 5: Blue Jays are kicking off the Sea, I'm all right, 34 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 5: well or fine, the Dodgers and the Giants great, but 35 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 5: the Yankees and the San Francisco Giants, and don't come 36 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 5: at me that they used to all play in Brooklyn 37 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 5: and have that history. 38 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 4: Nobody cares about that. Why are we doing this? 39 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: That's baseball. 40 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 4: I don't care, but that's baseball. That's not baseball. The 41 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 4: opening day all teams should be playing. 42 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 5: So this is opening Night to give you a little 43 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 5: appetizer for Opening Day, which is actually Maniana. 44 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 3: I actually agree with you. I agree with you that 45 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 3: opening Day should be all the teams playing on one day. 46 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 3: And by the way, that day should be a Monday. 47 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 3: It should be coming up Monday. And I understand the 48 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 3: changes they made. Changes they wanted more off days in 49 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 3: the season. You haven't expanded playoffs. You want to get 50 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,839 Speaker 3: done by November first. Something's going to have to be sacrificed. 51 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 3: And it was our traditional opening day, traditional opening day. 52 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 3: Cincinnati Red's have a parade, they play the first game 53 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 3: of the season, and everybody else follows suit. It's not 54 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 3: the case anymore, and it's completely ruined for Major League Baseball, Maazi. 55 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 3: Not only is it the Giants in Yankees tomorrow or 56 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 3: tonight in San Francisco. By the way, Manzi's going to 57 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 3: be seeing the Yankees and Giants on Saturday nights. Saturday night, 58 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 3: you and your boyfriend going up and checking out the game, 59 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,119 Speaker 3: so that'll be fun. It's not the only interleague game 60 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 3: to open the season. It's not, and it's not even close. 61 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 3: Who says history? What says history? Like raise at Cardinals? 62 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 3: All right? 63 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 6: Not really? 64 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 4: What started is that tomorrow? 65 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 3: Yes, five minutes after a rematch of the nineteen eighty 66 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 3: four World Series Tiger's Padres that is also being played. 67 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 3: I mentioned the Reds. How about them opening this season 68 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 3: against the Red Sox. That is what's happening your sports. 69 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 3: Even though it's popular, moving away from tradition an opening 70 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 3: day is another casualty in all of this. 71 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 7: Jason Stewarts, Yeah, I kind of look at it in 72 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 7: the different way now, I do I get it, and 73 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 7: I don't think it's ideal what you guys are talking about. 74 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 3: It's not. 75 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 7: But isn't baseball the one sport where the opening day 76 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 7: is specific to those cities? So next week, in other words, 77 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 7: the Cardinals or the Blue Jays will have their opening day. Tomorrow, 78 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 7: my team has the opening day, and it's gonna be 79 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 7: very special because we're back to back World Series champs, 80 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 7: and there's gonna be a lot of hubbub about that. 81 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 7: So I think that I do understand what you're saying 82 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 7: from a national level. If you don't have much loyalty 83 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 7: to any team, there isn't a whole lot that grabs 84 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 7: your attention about this opening day. I will say that, 85 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 7: But isn't baseball the one that really kind of hits 86 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 7: that local fan where the heartstrings are? Would you at 87 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 7: least give me that? 88 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree with that. I just I think 89 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 3: that the I think to Manzies point about interleague play, 90 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 3: and I think Yankees Giants is neat. But that's the 91 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 3: problem with intern league plays. There's only so many matchups 92 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 3: that are really intriguing. 93 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 4: Right, So why start with that? 94 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 3: Right? It's Marquee, It's it's probably why they're shoving, you know, Tampa, 95 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 3: and Tampa's a decent team and not awful, but them 96 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 3: and the Cardinals, you know, everybody will show up in 97 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 3: Saint Louis. Let's get the Raise series out of the 98 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 3: way and play it now and then they don't have 99 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 3: to worry about it. 100 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 4: But that to me makes no sense, Like get it 101 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 4: out of the way. 102 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 5: I feel like because inner league play, I know it's 103 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 5: more common than I was at one point, but because 104 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 5: it's still inner league play, I it's special. Spread it 105 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 5: out throughout the season opening Day. I don't need it 106 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 5: to be it's opening Day, give me, you know what 107 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:40,119 Speaker 5: I'm saying. 108 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 3: The Classics, they've it's they've taken it away, like the 109 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 3: the The uniqueness of opening Day is out the window. 110 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 3: You know how. I know it's unique. We all know 111 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 3: it's unique. And to Jason's point about what it means 112 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 3: at a local level is true. It's because teams will 113 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 3: play on Thursday and then not play on Friday. And 114 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 3: you want to know why. That is why? Because the 115 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 3: value of opening Day is so valuable that some of 116 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 3: these places have poor weather, right and they need the flexibility, 117 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 3: and they need the flexibility of having Opening Day be special. 118 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 3: So if you had a ticket for Friday for the 119 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 3: game in Saint Louis, which by the way, there is 120 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 3: none because it may rain in Saint Louis, which it 121 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 3: may do at the end of March in the Midwest, 122 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: surprise surprise that it may snow. They need the value 123 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 3: of the Opening Day ticket so then the game can 124 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 3: be played the next day. They can't allow a ticket 125 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 3: holder to hold a ticket for the next day and 126 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,679 Speaker 3: then oh, well, I have a ticket for Friday's game. 127 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 3: Now I have Opening Day when everybody paid extra or 128 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 3: have the special stuff. So there's value to Opening Day. 129 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 3: Also because of the weather, it gives you that flexibility 130 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 3: where certain places it's just unpredictable. But it's also of 131 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 3: holding the value of Opening Day. That's why you will 132 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 3: have a day off the next day of having it. 133 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 3: But it's so that's why there is local value you 134 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,559 Speaker 3: to it because of that ticket. But as a whole 135 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 3: it is different. But as a whole, I also like 136 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 3: to sit down on a Monday and watch the games 137 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 3: and flip over and yeah, it's weird, like interly, it's 138 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,559 Speaker 3: still weird to me when everybody is playing Inner League, 139 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 3: but it just feels like this is now really really 140 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 3: let the ships sail like they were. Major League Baseball 141 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 3: is fine and making in all these changes, and as 142 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 3: long as October is still special, they'll sacrifice what we've 143 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 3: got on opening Day. That's what it feels like. 144 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 5: It really does feel like that, and it's like they've 145 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 5: made good decisions for the sport. 146 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,559 Speaker 4: I think we've all agreed at the pitch clock is great. 147 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 5: I was very annoyed that the games are shorter because 148 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 5: here in LA it's such an experience. But like, I 149 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 5: think overall that having the game shorter was a successful 150 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 5: decision for the sport. But you've kind of watered down 151 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 5: Opening Day like this and Opening Day I feel like, 152 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 5: used to be like just so fun, and now it's like, okay, 153 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 5: so we have Opening Night, okay, and then we. 154 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 3: Have does, watching the does watching the Giants and Yankees tonight? 155 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 3: Would that take away the uniqueness of watching the Diamondbacks 156 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 3: and Dodgers tomorrow at Dodger Stadium for their opening Night? 157 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 4: No, I don't think. 158 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 3: That I shouldn't bother you. That's what's That's what your 159 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 3: point is, right, Jason, Like, like it's as a whole, 160 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 3: most people just care about their opening day for their teams. 161 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 7: That's what you're saying, correct, And I will say this, 162 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 7: how about this moncy. Compare this year to year, I 163 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 7: think the last two years, maybe just last year, the 164 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 7: Dodgers opened on the reason in the Southeast Asia like 165 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 7: a week before, Like that really offended my sensibilities, Like 166 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 7: you could have just made those exhibition games. Why would 167 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 7: they count on the schedule. I was so pissed off 168 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 7: at that. So at the very least, the Giants Yankees tonight, 169 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 7: whether you find it on Netflix or not, it's an 170 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 7: actual game between two people in the United States. That's 171 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 7: that's that's progress. 172 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 5: Fair Fair, You're right, Especially the Dodgers came back and 173 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 5: then didn't play for like a week or something, and 174 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 5: it was like the weirdest thing. 175 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 3: They're two to zero for like that week got have 176 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 3: for like we're. 177 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 4: Gonna have there in first place? Well, yeah, because they're 178 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 4: the only ones who've played. That's why they're in first place. 179 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 5: Uh I yeah, But like today, when I saw that 180 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 5: the when I don't know when I realized that the 181 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 5: Yankees and Giants were playing, but when I officially realized 182 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 5: that was on a Wednesday night, I was like, oh, well, 183 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 5: I'll be watching the Clippers game, So I guess I'm 184 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 5: not watching baseball when it starts. 185 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 4: Because I wasn't expecting it. 186 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 5: I was expecting my first time watching the new season 187 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 5: of baseball to. 188 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 4: Be during the day. Like I get up and there's baseball. 189 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 3: Major League Baseball is taking uh is putting the responsibility 190 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 3: on your shoulders. Jason has accepted the responsibility, and you haven't. No, 191 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 3: I have not, and and and I think that that's 192 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 3: I think that that's tough. I guess like this was 193 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 3: one of their things. You want to know who does 194 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 3: Opening Day the best? And they get criticized for it. 195 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 3: NASCAR right like like it's it's the basest race of 196 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 3: the year. People are like, oh, you start the. 197 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 4: Year the year and then. 198 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 3: I'll tell you what though, it still pretty awesome. Yeah. 199 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 3: And the NFL, we just said the news that the 200 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 3: are going to be playing on the Wednesday because of 201 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 3: the game in Australia that's going to be played on 202 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 3: the Thursday. They still wanted to give the honor to 203 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl champs. That's not going to change anything 204 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 3: to the common fan, even to me as a Seahawks fan, 205 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 3: what's the difference. It's a day earlier than what it is. 206 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 3: I don't think it's disrespect by any means. The NFL 207 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 3: has been flexible with that. Major League Baseball started tearing 208 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 3: away Opening Day when they started to play the Sunday 209 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 3: night game prior to the Monday. So this has been 210 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 3: a decades long sort of deal, and it's just they're 211 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 3: just saying, you know what, if you like Opening Day 212 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 3: and you want to make a big deal for there, yes, yes, 213 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 3: and that's ultimately what it is. But they don't. I 214 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 3: don't think they have any desire to store it in 215 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 3: what was once a sacred day on their schedule. 216 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 4: They're not worried about the people watching it at home, 217 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 4: is what you're telling me, only the ones that are 218 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 4: going to come in. 219 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 3: I don't think that they care period the period. 220 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 4: Well, so I don't seem that way, right. 221 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 3: It's good for their broadcast partner. They're like Netflix is 222 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 3: now new to the game. No offense. They don't want 223 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 3: raised Cardinals, right, so they want Giants, Yankees, they want 224 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 3: you know, that's what that's what they want. But the 225 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 3: onus is on you to make Opening Day special to you. 226 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 3: They're gonna Each team is going to have their own ceremony. 227 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 3: Each team's going to do their own special thing, and 228 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 3: you're going to see it throughout the thirty ballparks over 229 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 3: the next week and a half. That's that's what they 230 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 3: are relying because Major League Baseball doesn't have any interest 231 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 3: in keeping this sacred anymore. 232 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 4: Is anything sacred anymore? 233 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 3: Daytona five hundred is Jason Stewart. 234 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 7: You bring up the NFL and I just thought of this. 235 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 7: What do you guys think about this? So I want 236 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 7: to say Major League Baseball is kind of doing this 237 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 7: Wednesday one off thing to kind of copy the NFL's 238 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 7: model of like extending the opening days, like giving you 239 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 7: multiple opening days, and the I think any sport other 240 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 7: than the NFL that tries to copy their model is 241 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 7: it's folly. It's like, it's laughable. I always say this 242 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 7: about the NBA when they try to do things that 243 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 7: the NFL is doing, like Major League Baseball, the NBA, 244 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 7: even like college football. They're all fine for pepsi to 245 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 7: the coke that is the NFL. So there's to say 246 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 7: that it works for the NFL, maybe it'll work for us. 247 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 7: I think it's just a failing way to look at things. 248 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 3: I don't and I don't think that they're copying the 249 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 3: NFL because Major League Baseball has done this for years. 250 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 3: They just recently we have switched to a Thursday opening 251 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 3: day because of the expanding of the playoffs and the 252 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 3: more off days during the season. But there was a time, 253 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 3: I would say a decade ago. I would even bet 254 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 3: two decades ago that opening day when it was on 255 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 3: the Monday, usually of the National championship game in college basketball, 256 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 3: ESPN would have a Sunday night game. Am I right 257 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 3: on that? Isaac? I just saw your head and I'm 258 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 3: just I thought you were nodding an agreement. 259 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 8: Also, typically Cincinnati was traditionally supposed to have the first game. 260 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 8: But yes, it started around that time that you would 261 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 8: have the Sunday day game and then Monday it would 262 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 8: be everybody else and you'd work from East coast across 263 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 8: the West coast. I still remember Toughy Roads of the 264 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 8: Cubs hitting three home runs on an opening Day once 265 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 8: against the Mets. It's stuck in my mind. It was 266 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 8: more of a one time national civic institution then, but. 267 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's they would have a Sunday night game usually 268 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 3: see the Reds in Cincinnati. They have a parade, they 269 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 3: have their Hall of Famers, and then they would get 270 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 3: to play the first game of the day and then 271 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 3: everybody follows suit someway or another. But it always started 272 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 3: in Cincinnati. And then and then Major League Baseball started 273 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 3: to do this Sunday night. Crap, Hey, ESPN, you know, 274 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 3: John Millen, Joe Morgan will be in Kansas City. It's 275 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 3: the you know, the defending champion Royals, and and that 276 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 3: ended up replacing that was kind of like their pseudo 277 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 3: opening Day, and it just never stopped. And then when 278 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 3: they changed the schedule because it's no longer on a Monday, 279 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 3: now we have to do it in late March on 280 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 3: a Thursday. They have now just done it here with 281 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 3: Netflix to try to give them some added value. 282 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 5: I feel like that's I'm more now leaning to what 283 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 5: you're saying that they just don't care. They don't care 284 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 5: about the fans because being on Netflix that part of it. 285 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 5: Why isn't it on a national network station that everyone 286 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 5: can watch. I feel like a lot of people have Netflix, 287 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 5: but like this should just be on television, it shouldn't 288 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 5: be on a streaming service. 289 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 3: Well, this is another thing that now that I think, 290 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 3: Jason you pointed out. Andrew Marshan made a sweet about 291 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 3: the variety of different places that you're gonna have to 292 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 3: watch games, Like if you're a Yankees fan, is they're 293 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 3: like ten different spots that you're gonna have to find 294 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 3: your games. 295 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 7: He adds it up for Yankees fans five subscriptions, ten networks. 296 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 7: Welcome to trying to watch your team in twenty twenty six. 297 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 3: But you're not watching every single game. 298 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 4: No no, no, no, no no. I still haven't gotten peacock. 299 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 4: I still refuse. I refuse, Well, I didn't watch that 300 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 4: Chiefs game. I'm not watching anything this. 301 00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 3: Big ten fans have been peacocks. 302 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 4: Wit I'll see. 303 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 5: Because there you go because of that, that makes perfect sense. 304 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 5: But I remember with uh, Doug Gottlie, coach was like, 305 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 5: you're not going to get peacock. 306 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 4: You're really not. 307 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 5: I was like, I'm not just for the Chiefs to 308 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 5: watch the Chiefs now, I'm not going to do that, 309 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 5: and I still haven't gotten peacock. 310 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 3: It gives them value that it will bring people who 311 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 3: probably didn't purchase anymore you know there wouldn't have purchased 312 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 3: whoever doesn't have Netflix, but you couldn't do it with 313 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 3: the Raising Cardinals. You had to do it with the 314 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 3: Yankees and Giants. You absolutely had to. No, they're putting 315 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 3: the onus on us. I actually like the NBA's Opening 316 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 3: Night better than what Major League Baseball is now doing, 317 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 3: at least because you always will have the champ, right 318 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 3: and if they're in the Eastern Conference, they play the 319 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 3: first game, and if it's in the Western Conference, they 320 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 3: like to play the second game. In the first game. 321 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 3: If it's not the defending champs, it's a little bit 322 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 3: of an appetizer, right. Maybe they need to just get 323 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 3: rid of it and just have like the champs on 324 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 3: the opening night. I'm not sure on however it plays out, 325 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 3: but Major League Baseball doesn't necessarily care. The only one 326 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 3: who cares is NASCAR and golf, because the PGA Tour 327 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 3: is starting to have conversations about having a big, big 328 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 3: signature event to open the season somewhere on the West 329 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 3: Coast to try to otherwise the season just kind of 330 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 3: agains in Hawaii slides in during the NFL playoffs. They're 331 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 3: looking ahead to try to make something special at the start, 332 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 3: so I commend them. NASCAR has always done it, even 333 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 3: though we've been critical of it. At least they do 334 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 3: it right because Major League Baseball doesn't care anymore. 335 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Gotson Company 336 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 2: live whekdays at three pm Eastern twelve pm Pacific. 337 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: Greg Barnes is a senior reporter at Inside Carolina. He 338 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: joined us right now. I'm in Carolina, i am in 339 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: Chapel Hill, and I'm telling you you can't take a 340 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: step without someone asking you about Yubert Davis or who 341 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: the next North Carolina head coach is going to be 342 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: men's basketball. Greg is with us. Greg, were you surprised 343 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: by Ubert Davis being let go by North Carolina? 344 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 9: I really was. 345 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 10: There was some belief late in the season with the 346 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 10: injuries he was probably going to get another year, but 347 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 10: there's always that sipulation of, you know, he needs at 348 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 10: least show well in the postseason. 349 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 9: And clearly North Carolina did. 350 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 10: Not, and that loss to VCU and things came apart 351 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 10: very quickly behind the scenes for him, and by Friday 352 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 10: afternoon a large percentage of the Boosters were ready to 353 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 10: move forward. 354 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 1: When you say things fell apart behind the scenes, can 355 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: you elaborate on that just a little bit. 356 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 10: Yeah, So, as everybody knows, in this modern era, you've 357 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 10: got to have sufficient funds to be able to fund 358 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 10: a basketball roster. And North Carolina this current season twenty 359 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 10: five twenty six, the roster was valued at about fourteen 360 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 10: million dollars. When you look at how North Carolina has 361 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 10: the rev share split out, football gets thirteen million, basketball 362 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 10: gets seven, so that gets you halfway to that fourteen million. 363 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 10: And with how things have played out, and there's frustration 364 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 10: with Hubert. He's not never been really good with boosters. 365 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 10: This is not something he enjoys doing. 366 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: Right. 367 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 10: There was significant concern that they could reach fourteen million 368 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 10: dollars again, to the extent where they thought it was 369 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 10: almost impossible, and that was a driving factor in this. 370 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: In today's college basketball, can't you can't not have the 371 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: winning and not talk to the boosters at the same time. 372 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: That just doesn't work in today's college basketball. You have 373 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: to win and win big if you want to blow 374 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: off the boosters. I was not aware that that was 375 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: something Youbert Davis didn't like to do. And I'm certain 376 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,719 Speaker 1: win or lose that had to bother people here at 377 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: North Carolina, right, Yeah. 378 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 10: For sure, and this is something he hasn't enjoyed doing 379 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 10: from day one. 380 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 9: And I think kind of a good example. 381 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 10: Everybody knows Mac Brown is a fantastic fundraiser. 382 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 9: He does that as well as about anything. 383 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 10: If you look back at the twenty twenty three twenty 384 00:18:55,520 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 10: four financial data, the football program raise seven million dollars 385 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 10: in donations. The men's basketball program raised seven hundred and 386 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 10: sixty thousand, So wow, ten times less. 387 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 9: That kind of speaks to the differential. 388 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: If Caleb Wilson Almos said Williams the quarterback for the Bears, 389 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: if he remains healthy they get to the sweet sixteen, 390 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: does Youbert Davis still have a job? 391 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 10: Bill Belichick would love to have Caleb Williams if we're 392 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 10: talking about probably so, and that that's kind of how 393 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 10: fifty to fifty this was. I think if North Carolina 394 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 10: had had fared better in the ACC Tournament and then 395 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 10: maybe won a couple of games in then Citaway Tournament, 396 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 10: there would have been enough support to get another year. 397 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 10: But even saying that, if Hubert Davis would have come 398 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 10: back next year, I mean, clearly he would have been 399 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 10: on the hot seat. Clearly there would have been even 400 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 10: more drama around the program, So I think there was 401 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 10: a lot of a lot of belief behind the scenes 402 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 10: that's probably better to go ahead and make a move 403 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 10: because next year could really be a bad situation if 404 00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 10: the team doesn't play well. 405 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 11: Greg, on the topic of Bill Belichick, You're looking at 406 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 11: some of the coaches on Carolina's searching on their hot board, 407 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 11: a lot of them have big buyouts attached to them. 408 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 11: Does the financial commitment the school made to Bill Belichick 409 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 11: kind of handcuffed them anyways in this search? 410 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 3: I don't think so. 411 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 10: In fact, one of the key things coming out of 412 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 10: that Belichick search was, yeah, I mean, it's kind of 413 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 10: been a disaster thus far, but it really convinced everybody 414 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 10: associated with the program and around the program that if 415 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 10: we want to be a legitimate national contender in the 416 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 10: revenue sports, we're. 417 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 9: Going to have to open up the pocketbook. 418 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 10: And they know that even when Bell Belichick moves along, 419 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 10: they're gonna have to spend similar money for football. 420 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 9: And if they want North Carolina basketball to. 421 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 10: Continue to be an elite program, that means you can't 422 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 10: pay the next head coach what you were paying to 423 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 10: Herebret Davis, which is three million dollars you're going to 424 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 10: have to invest a lot more, not just in had 425 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 10: coaching salary, but also in support staff salary, also in 426 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 10: nil commitments. And then part of that, of course, is 427 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 10: that buyout package that you're talking about. 428 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: Greg. 429 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 6: How much did his coaching tenure sort of sully Hubert 430 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 6: Davis's name in North Carolina? And do you think that 431 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 6: that sort of thing will affect how they look at 432 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 6: their next head coach now? 433 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 10: I think with them getting out when they did, it 434 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 10: probably helps that. Now, we'll say, the expectation and the 435 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 10: hope starting last Friday was that they could have this 436 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 10: nice ceremony and as Shubert Davis decides to step down, 437 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 10: they could celebrate him, and he did not. He did 438 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 10: not want to resign, so North Carolina ultimately had to 439 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 10: fire him on Tuesday. 440 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: So that changes as well. Was playing along, which I 441 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: find which I think is great of Hubert Davis. He 442 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 1: doesn't have to play along, right. 443 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 9: Sure, yes he does not. 444 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 10: But I think if this would have gone on another 445 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 10: year and the team was not good next year, it 446 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 10: could have been very problematic. 447 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 9: For his legacy. I don't think that's going to be 448 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 9: the case now. 449 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: So it's interesting because Carolina. It's it's it's a family. 450 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: They usually hire from within. Youbert Davis played at North Carolina, 451 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: and Youbert Davis, I understand blowing the eighteen point lead, 452 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: but the body of work five seasons one, twenty five, 453 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: and fifty four made a final four, you know, beat 454 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: Coach K and Coach K's final game won the ACC 455 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,719 Speaker 1: regular season championship in twenty to twenty four. This seems 456 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: very un Carolina light the way they went about doing this. 457 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. 458 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 10: The other aspect of that is North Carolina was a 459 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 10: sixth seed in the Nsingabay Tournament. 460 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: Yeah this year. Yep, that's the second. 461 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 10: Best see North Carolina has had since twenty nineteen. 462 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: Yikes. Yeah, if you look back. 463 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 10: At nineteen eighty five's when the tournament expanded. Through twenty nineteen, 464 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 10: Carolina was a four seed or better seventy eight percent 465 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 10: of the time, So about four out of every five 466 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 10: years they've been a four seater better once in the 467 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 10: past seven years. 468 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, the standards very high, and he's not meeting 469 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: those standards. Go ahead and down. Greg. 470 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 11: With names like Dusty May, Tommy Lloyd, tj Otselberger on 471 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 11: UNC's board of candidates, how does that work with them 472 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 11: still coaching teams in the tournament. 473 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 9: That's a good question. 474 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 10: And at this point in time, when you've got so 475 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 10: much agent representation, there can be back channeling. It takes 476 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 10: place to see what kind of interest levels there are 477 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 10: and those sorts of things. Of course, the coaches are 478 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 10: not going to be able to have conversations until they're 479 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 10: done with their playing season, and that's part of the 480 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 10: process here. If you're aiming high, which North Carolina is, 481 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 10: you have to be willing to wait and that The 482 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 10: challenge of that is the National Championship Game is April sixth, 483 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 10: and the transfer portal opens on April seventh, so it 484 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 10: is a tight window. 485 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,719 Speaker 1: Of the names you've heard, what's the name that gets 486 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: or you think would get the fan base most excited? 487 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: Is it Billy Donovan? 488 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 10: I don't think it's Billy Donovan. Brad Stevens' Name's been 489 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 10: out there. We all know how that situation plays out. 490 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 10: I think Tommy Lloyd is the guy given his track record. 491 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 10: I think he's got the personality that would fit at Carolina, 492 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 10: and I think a lot of people like what he 493 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 10: does at Arizona. 494 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: Right now, if you're Carolina. Though this is a different 495 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: you know, it's a different world in terms of college 496 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: basketball and college football where Rick Patino was beloved now, 497 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: but you know a couple of decades ago that wasn't 498 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: the case. Why wouldn't you turn over every stone if 499 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: you're in North Carolina? Meaning why wouldn't you make a 500 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 1: call to a guy like Rick Patino? Why not? 501 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 9: I don't think there's any reason not to. 502 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,719 Speaker 10: I do think one thing that's relevant here is that 503 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 10: there are probably certain people that don't have the right personality. 504 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 10: There's some coaches, as we all know, have a little 505 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 10: bit of arrogance, a little bit of brattiness to them. 506 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 9: Sure, for some sites, that's perfectly fine. Right for Carolina 507 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 9: that's not gonna fly. 508 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 10: And you have to be a little bit more personable 509 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 10: in those types of things. 510 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: What is it about Carolina? Explain that a little bit. 511 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you. It makes me hate 512 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: North Carolina. Go hire fucking Rick Patino. 513 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 9: I mean, geez, you're on the ground. You can go 514 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 9: talk to that. 515 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: I have, I have boots on the ground. 516 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 10: You're it's the southern gentleman charm, right. I guess that's best. 517 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: SI like Roy Williams was a perfect fit for that. Yes, exactly, 518 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: you're right. 519 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 10: Indeed, Smith right, but Carolina hasn't had a coach that 520 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 10: will cuss other than a handful of times and fifty years. 521 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: I know, I know, but college basketball is no longer 522 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: college basketball, and Carolina might want to rethink about how 523 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: their approach and how they move forward here in twenty 524 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: twenty six. 525 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 9: That's all I'm saying, Baby steps, baby steps. 526 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 11: You're right, Greg, you mentioned that Billy Donovan wouldn't be 527 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 11: most of you and C's fans first choice. But what if, 528 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 11: I say, if Billy Donovan leaves the Bulls for Carolina, 529 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 11: John Shire leaves Duke for the Bulls. 530 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 10: Oh jeez, that's two birds whin Stone right, Yeah, that's 531 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 10: a possibility. And look, I think it's pretty clear that 532 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 10: Billy don than once side of Chicago, and his name 533 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 10: is in a lot of searches right now behind the scenes. Certainly, 534 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 10: I think he would be interested in Carolina. It's just 535 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 10: a matter of that Carolina would really be interested in 536 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 10: him in terms of the pecking order. 537 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: Shier's success here with Duke that had the factor into 538 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: Carolina doing. 539 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 10: What they did, right, It does and I think that's 540 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 10: a good thing for Carolina because Duke is setting the 541 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 10: bar and North Carolina does not want to take a 542 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:25,880 Speaker 10: backseat to Duke. 543 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 1: Is there a former Carolina guy that perhaps we're not 544 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: thinking of that could be Kenny Smith on the radar 545 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: or someone like that. 546 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 9: I don't think. 547 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 3: So. 548 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 10: They're pretty dead settle making sure they hire somebody that 549 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 10: has their proven track record, and there's just nobody in 550 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 10: the UNC coaching tree right. 551 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: Now that has that right and some Southern charm that's 552 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: what they need. 553 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 11: Yes, Greg, How does Bill self being unsure if he'll 554 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 11: return to Kansas affect Carolina search? 555 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 10: I think that is a massive elephant in the room 556 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 10: because it's one thing if you're the only blue blood 557 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 10: searching for a coach, but once you add another one 558 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 10: like Kansas, then every all of a sudden, everybody's kind 559 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 10: of competing for the same positions, which means that the 560 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 10: bidding process is elevated. 561 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 9: There's a lot of other dynamics to go into play. 562 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 10: So one of the advantages North Carolina has at this 563 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 10: moment is that they have an open, open coaching job. 564 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,360 Speaker 10: Right does not, Yes, but that's been change I would 565 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 10: imagine very soon right. 566 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 7: Wow. 567 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: I mean these jobs usually they never become available.

I wasn't 616 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 3: familiar with the show there was. Was there a show Tuesday? 617 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 3: Was that? 618 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 4: No? 619 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 3: Wednesday? 620 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 4: Wednesday, that's the name of the show Wednesday. 621 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 3: But is this Adam Adam's family really wrecked Wednesday? 622 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 4: Adams Jenna or take okay there, yes, Okay. 623 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 3: That's what it was. So it was all over my head. 624 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 3: I did not realize it. And then when you said it, 625 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, that actually is a little bit clever 626 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 3: that it is. 627 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 4: It is, it is clever. 628 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,719 Speaker 3: Still it thinks that opening Day has been ruined for everyone, 629 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 3: whether you want to enjoy it or not. 630 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 5: Yeah. And the thing, the hand is supposed to be 631 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 5: throwing the first pitch, And that's what I showed Dan 632 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 5: Byer the video of the thing, the hand, the thing, 633 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 5: the thing, the hand on which is the thing. 634 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 4: It is the thing, the thing, It's the thing. 635 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 3: So who's on first, right, Isaac?

Do you guys 646 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 7: remember in two thousand and four when the Red Sox 647 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 7: won the first World Series in almost a century, and 648 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 7: the cast of Fever Pitch with what's his name? Jimmy 649 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 7: what's the Fallen and Drew Barrymore, they were allowed to 650 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 7: film the fans running onto the celebration during the first 651 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 7: World Series championship in almost one hundred years, and that 652 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 7: did not go over well with Boston Red Sox fans, 653 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 7: by the way, but I don't that was pretty. 654 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 3: Jimmy Fallon could run onto the field, So Wednesday's a 655 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 3: distant second to that. I thought that was awful, well, 656 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 3: a distant second.

Yeah, which, by the way, is as good 738 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 3: as out for me when it comes to Kawhi. But 739 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 3: the hope he plays for years. 740 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,720 Speaker 4: It's just a little bit, just a little bit on Monsief. 741 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 3: Grace doesn't want hers. Can I have it? Because this 742 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:12,760 Speaker 3: is cool? 743 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I'll let her know. She's probably listening. 744 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 1: Well. 745 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 3: When I went with Jason to the game, and the 746 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 3: Jackie Robinson game is different. It's once a year, it's 747 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 3: one game, and it's the Dodger. It's a different team, right. 748 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 3: He got the tickets from a good friend of his 749 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 3: who couldn't make it, and the stipulation was, I just 750 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,879 Speaker 3: want the jersey that you guys get that I would 751 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,879 Speaker 3: have gotten. I had no problems with it. I wasn't 752 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 3: going to keep the jersey. I wasn't a Dodgers fan 753 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 3: and so it was completely fine with that. But that's 754 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 3: that's different. That's the once a year thing, like there 755 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 3: are a bunch of different bottleheads throughout oh somewhere so many. 756 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 4: No, this was just it looked awesome and different, So 757 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:46,720 Speaker 4: bring it to my collection. 758 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 3: One of my first baseball games, it wasn't the first. 759 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 3: I think it was the second game I went to. 760 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 3: We went to a fan appreciation game. When the Brewers 761 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 3: when I was a kid, when they played at Milwaukee 762 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 3: County Stadium, they were given away prizes and cars. I 763 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,320 Speaker 3: thought that was at the end of every game or 764 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 3: throughout every game. I'm like, this is amazing, Like you know, 765 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 3: like you had tickets and you were hoping that they 766 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,359 Speaker 3: would call your seat in section and you could win 767 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 3: a prize, and then the next game we went to nothing. 768 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 1: They didn't do that. 769 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 3: And I also thought that Bernie Brewer when he slid down, 770 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 3: that he would slide down the slide for every run. 771 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,879 Speaker 3: And this is when he actually slid into a beer 772 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 3: mug in a chalet and then the balloons would come out. 773 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, it's only for home runs and home 774 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 3: runs by my team. That's how I got, you know, 775 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 3: in That's how I would learn about baseball by those disappointments. 776 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 3: But that was the I can understand the draw of 777 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 3: a bobblehead. I've just not gotten to the point where 778 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 3: I would go solely to a game for a bobblehead, 779 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 3: but I have gone solely to eat Dodger dogs the same. 780 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 3: Come on, it was a weekend series at the end 781 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 3: of the year of Friday Night, the season was going 782 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 3: to end on Sunday. I'm like, yeah, I'll just go 783 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 3: and eat grilled Dodger dogs. Why not? Absolutely? Yeah, Well 784 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 3: for your case, I hope that Kawhi placed me too. 785 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 4: I'll be really bumped about it. 786 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 3: All right, Stu Gotson Company live back again tomorrow. Monty, 787 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 3: I'm Dan, talk to you later. 788 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 4: Bye.
