Thirty four to nothing, the Sooners putting it 23 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: on UTEP. The one and only Chris Plank will join 24 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: us in twenty five minutes, the voice of Oklahoma Softball 25 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: to get a little insight in what happens in a 26 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: game that ends thirty four to nothing in five innings. 27 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: They had to call it. By the way, UTEP took 28 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: zero offense to it. Didn't think there was a running 29 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: up of the score at all. So I think an 30 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: interesting conversation we'll have Chris Plank get in his mind. 31 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: You can hear Chris not only is he the voice 32 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: of the Sooners, but you hear him here on Fox 33 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Sunday nights. He and Arnie Spaniard. You were 34 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: in for him last night. 35 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 3: The game apparently wasn't over. It was only thirty one nothing. 36 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 3: He couldn't get off air, So no, I'm sure I 37 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 3: know he is traveling with the team. I don't know 38 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 3: if the game was going on when we I don't 39 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 3: think it was, because I think the SEGA referenced it 40 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 3: in one of his updates, so it must have just 41 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: finished as we were getting on air. 42 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: I want to dive into this game because I just 43 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: think that there's a lot there. So Chris Plank will 44 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: join us in about twenty five minutes or so. On 45 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: the heels of the All Star Game. The All Star 46 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: ratings have come in. You heard Isaac Lohenkron mention them, 47 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: and Isaac, just for the record of what I'm reading, 48 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: what is the information you have on the All Star 49 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: Game yesterday on NBC The ratings for that game. 50 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 5: Couple of key things to unpack in a simple sentenced 51 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 5: It averaged eight point eight million viewers across all platforms, 52 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 5: its biggest audience in fifteen years. So average is one 53 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 5: thing to take note of. And also across all platforms, 54 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 5: it's NBC, it's streaming, and it's also an Espanol on Telemundo. 55 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: Okay, So that's I'm glad that you said all of 56 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: that because I think when we have these All Star 57 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: conversations and we're going to talk about the game and 58 00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: how yesterday's game was was presented, I don't want to 59 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: come in with a bias. I just want to get 60 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: to the bottom of what is real. And I think 61 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: when people talk about the NBA, they don't talk about 62 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: what's real. Both negative and positive, like the haters are 63 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: just as worse as NBA Twitter in saying what is 64 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: and what isn't about the NBA. So I want to 65 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: look at what is and what does work for the NBA, 66 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: and isn't something that is puffed up or pushed on 67 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: or something that is beaten down and said, Oh, that's 68 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: the NBA just thrown away. This is why they got that. 69 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: It's not a real I'm sick of the haters. I'm 70 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: sick of NBA Twitter trying to tell me how awesome 71 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: it is. I want to realize and get an idea 72 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: of what the NBA is. And I don't think it's 73 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: any surprise that the All Star Game appearing on Network 74 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: TV again would have higher ratings than it had in 75 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: previous years when it was on Sunday Night on TNT. 76 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was kind of my first thought as well. 77 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 3: And again I want to be fair in saying this 78 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 3: because I am somebody that in general has been critical 79 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 3: of the NBA product. You know, I don't know if 80 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 3: you want to switch back over to the game itself, 81 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 3: but that was part of when we were filling in 82 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 3: for Stu Goatts and company. I made sure to reference, 83 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 3: like I thought it was about as entertaining of a 84 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 3: game as I could remember from an All Star perspective, 85 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 3: because I don't want to be that guy that's always 86 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 3: negative no matter what I thought. Overall, the quality of 87 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 3: the product was good and apparently based on the ratings, 88 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 3: again probably helped by the fact that it was on 89 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 3: Network TV in between windows of the Olympics. It doesn't 90 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 3: change the fact that a lot of people watch, and 91 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 3: it appears as though a lot of people enjoyed as well. 92 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: Simple math told me in the argument leading up to 93 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: the All Star Game that the people who were trying 94 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: to tell us that the NBA All Star Game was 95 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: competitive at one point, we're ignoring the first three quarters 96 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: of the game. The games were competitive in the fourth quarter. 97 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: But for the first three quarters of the old NBA 98 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: games that we think about and Kobe Bryant trying to 99 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: lock up players, it was in the fourth quarter when 100 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: the game was coming down to the wire and the 101 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: game the outcome was still in the balance. That's what 102 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: we think. We don't think of guys locking down players 103 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: in the first and second quarter, So when we think 104 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: of competitive NBA All Star games of the past, it 105 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: never was four quarters I would say it was one 106 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: quarter of that. What we've had lately is we had 107 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: zero quarters. He had zero point zero percent. When a 108 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: team scores two hundred and eleven points, there is no competition, 109 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: there is no competitive nature, there's none of that. So yesterday, 110 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: even though the ending of the game I think went 111 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: on a sour note, that's three quarters of basketball that 112 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: was competitive, that was intriguing enough to bring in a 113 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: rating that was higher than a lot of other events. 114 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: And that is a huge win for the NBA just 115 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,239 Speaker 1: to have three quarters of basketball of players competing, something 116 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: that they haven't had in a long long time in 117 00:05:59,440 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: the All Star Game. 118 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 3: Well, and I think the other thing that I would 119 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 3: add is to get to a fourth quarter that's competitive. Inherently, 120 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 3: the audience has to survive the first three quarters that 121 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 3: are not fun to watch. And so, you know, I'll 122 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 3: say this transparently, maybe that's where the NBA All Star 123 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 3: Game lost me, is that I wasn't willing to stick 124 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 3: through three quarters of bad basketball in which it was 125 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 3: clear that the participants didn't feel as though they wanted 126 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 3: to be there or look like they wanted to be there. 127 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 3: And so maybe that is part of the problem, or 128 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 3: it was part of the problem in the lead up 129 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 3: to Saturn or into the lead up to Sunday. Is 130 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 3: because I have heard from people who do cover the NBA, Hey, 131 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 3: you know, the fourth quarter gets intense, whatever, But as 132 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 3: the casual consumer, I'm not sitting through three quarters of 133 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 3: embarrassing basketball to get there. And so maybe this format 134 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 3: really does help with all. 135 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: And wishing and hoping that you have a close game 136 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: at the end to allow that fourth quarter to even transpire, 137 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: because exactly if it's three quarters of you know, just 138 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: jacking up three and having breakaway dunks, one team could 139 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: end up being up by thirty points and then nobody 140 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: really cares in the fourth quarter. So eight point eight 141 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: million with Isaac's number seeing other numbers in comparison, the 142 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,239 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball All Star Game on Fox drew seven 143 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: point two million last year. The Pro Bowl this year 144 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: that was only on ESPN was two million. That's that's 145 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: not even a game. I just I'm not And this 146 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: is this is where I feel I have to be 147 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: careful because this is what makes me mad. This is 148 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: what I feel is NBA Twitter. It's not a stat 149 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: The success of the NBA isn't how many people watched 150 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: the All Star Game. Okay, so that's this is a 151 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: good number for them. So I am happy that the 152 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: NBA got the the increased number that they had, But 153 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: I'm a day away from saying I think that the 154 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: NBA has even falling behind Major League Baseball in terms 155 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: of popularities of sports in this country from what we've 156 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: seen in the World Series. And if I'm the sport, 157 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: that's what I want to see, I want to see 158 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: the most important portion of my season. How does that 159 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: compare to everything else? And the World Series has been 160 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: great for Major League Baseball the last couple of years, 161 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: and it has out drawn the NBA Finals. So just 162 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: because yesterday's competitive game, which again I am happy it 163 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: happened because it beat Major League Baseball's number, doesn't mean 164 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: that the NBA again has smoked these other leagues when 165 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: it comes to the All Star Game. I'm glad that 166 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: there is attention to it, and there should be. It's 167 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: crazy that it took this long for them to figure this. 168 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 3: Out, no doubt, And I mean I think the NBA 169 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 3: All Star Game TV rating rising also at the same 170 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 3: time or coming off of a year in which the 171 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 3: MLB Game fell. I don't think that hurts Your argument 172 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 3: that MLB has surpassed is that it took this great 173 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 3: cop you know, confluence of events of linear TV in 174 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 3: between windows of the Olympics when a lot of people 175 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 3: already had that channel on anyway competitive basketball, just to 176 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 3: get back to that baseline number. And I think it 177 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 3: goes back to something that Isaac said during the window 178 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 3: when we were in with for Stu Gotts and Company, 179 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 3: is that basically the NBA's biggest issue right now isn't tanking, 180 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 3: it isn't load management. It's that they've lost millions of 181 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 3: people that loved, that loved past tense their product, and 182 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 3: there's no easy way to get it back. Although I 183 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 3: will say yesterday was a good start, it has clearly 184 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 3: been a topic of conversation today among either diehards who 185 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 3: loved the NBA or people like us who work in 186 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 3: You're more of an NBA diehard than I am, but 187 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 3: people that work in the space that were consuming the game, 188 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 3: where maybe now next year people do feel more inclined 189 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 3: to tune in because they heard such rave reviews about today. 190 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: Yes Anthony Edwards gave a review after winning the MVP 191 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: following last night's All Star Game in Life Los Angeles. 192 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: Here's what the Timberwolve Star and MVP had to say. 193 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: I ain gonna lie, Wendy said the tone. 194 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 4: He came out playing hard, and you know we had 195 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 4: to follow that and we had to pick it up 196 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 4: as a red team and we did that. 197 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: You c KD and Lebron Garden. 198 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 2: You why do you want that match up? 199 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, I want to cut them every time. 200 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: You know that. 201 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 6: Thanks an, thank you. 202 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: It was magnificent to the point, and it was earlier 203 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: in All Star Weekend where he said, yeah, you can 204 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: probably expect much of the same, and then the game 205 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: starts and it's not much of the same. It's a 206 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: whole new ballgame, and it showed yesterday. Good for the NBA. 207 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: Good for making the changes and making them work for 208 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: an audience, and again the NBC audience would have helped. 209 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: I would be curious to see what it was if 210 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: it was on TNT with the new format. I'd really 211 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: like to see how if it would compare. I think 212 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: the numbers in previous All Star games were about five 213 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: point four million, four point seven around that number, and 214 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,599 Speaker 1: so this getting eight point eight is bigger This is 215 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: also in comparing it to the Pro Bowl, which is atrocious. 216 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: Don't think anybody is saying the Pro Bowl is good. 217 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: It's not like the Major League Baseball All Star Game 218 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: is perfect. Guys don't pitch two innings anymore. Guys pitch 219 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: one inning and it's done with and your stars a 220 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: lot of times by the sixth inning are out of 221 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: the ball game. 222 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 3: They're out the buildings sometimes. 223 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yes, they absolutely are. So like those there's 224 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: reasons that Major League Baseball, if you want to put 225 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: all the stock in on an All Star Game, may 226 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: look to change things. They've trust me, they had problems, right, 227 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: they had a tie game, so then you gave home 228 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: field advantage, So they've tried to work out their kinks. 229 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: Seven point two million versus eight point eight NBA beats them. 230 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: Gives Major League Baseball an opportunity to maybe look at 231 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: how they can make their product better, maybe make it 232 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: more competitive if they want to bring in NBA like numbers. Yeah, 233 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: real quick. 234 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 3: We talked about it during the Stu Gots window. Do 235 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 3: you believe the success and when I say success, I 236 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 3: just mean the product on the court. Was that more 237 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 3: a reflection of the format or do you believe it 238 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 3: was guys like Wemby In the pre game, you know, 239 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 3: we just heard Anthony Anthony Edwards essentially say Wemby set 240 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 3: the tone for us. What what do you think led 241 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 3: to it more than the one I. 242 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: I think it's Wembin Yama, which is different than what 243 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: I thought going in. I thought that there would be pride. 244 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 1: I thought that there would be Hey, I want to 245 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: play for my country, but there's also another team that's 246 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: also playing for their country, and then there's another team 247 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 1: that's playing for all of the other countries. So really, 248 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: when it came down to it, Aaron, I thought players 249 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: were going to be playing more for kind of the 250 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: flag like they did in the Four Nations face off 251 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: in hockey, And it wasn't that. I think it was 252 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: just seeing how the players respond getting opportunities, Anthony Edwards 253 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: being guarded by Kevin Durant or vice versa. I think 254 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: that's what drew it out of them. It wasn't what 255 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: uniform or what flag or whoever they were representing. I 256 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: thought that's what it was going to be, honestly, but 257 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: I don't think that was the case at all. 258 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 3: And to that point, you know, It was certainly a 259 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 3: topic of conversation last week because Kevin Durant was asked 260 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 3: about guys not try he said, ask the international guys, 261 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 3: and I'll say, I'm not criticizing anybody even necessarily. But 262 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 3: there were plenty of shots of guys panning to the 263 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 3: bench and Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic seemingly not wanting 264 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 3: to be there. So we got to give credit to 265 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 3: guys like Wemby, Anthony Edwards, etc. But there still appeared 266 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 3: to be guys that weren't necessarily totally interested in being there. 267 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: And I don't think that I don't think that the 268 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: competition of the players that were interested is the end 269 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: all be all. I think that there are other issues 270 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: with the NBA. However, showing what happens when you just 271 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: actually care and want to put forth an effort to 272 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: it tells us that of the tanking and all the 273 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: other issues that we believe that the NBA has, or 274 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: the NBA wants us to believe that they have, that 275 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: maybe just effort ends up making a bigger difference than 276 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: they would have thought. 277 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 7: Yep. 278 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: I think that that's that's what we've Jason Stewart, I know, 279 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: the All Star Game and All Star Games we've talked 280 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: about for years and years, but not surprised that an 281 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: eight point eight rating came in for the NBA All 282 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: Star Game. 283 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 7: Yeah. 284 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, And I'm always more interested in how an event 285 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 8: is covered than the actual event. I agree it was 286 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 8: more competitive, it was more compelling, But I will say this, 287 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 8: I keep getting I keep seeing a lot of credit 288 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 8: being given to these players for trying. I think that's 289 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 8: a very low bar that they captured if that's the case. 290 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 8: And it begs and I'm not being one of the 291 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 8: NBA haters on Twitter here, it begs the question, like 292 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 8: if you could just deliver that product yesterday by trying 293 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 8: the base level trying, what exactly have you been doing 294 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 8: all these other years? And there are like people that 295 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 8: paid good money to go into these events for the 296 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 8: last eight or nine years. And I'm thinking if I 297 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 8: went to the All Star Game two years ago, I 298 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 8: would feel jypped. I wish I went yesterday when I 299 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 8: could see players trying for my thousand dollars seat. 300 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: You mean you didn't want to se Lebron goo zero 301 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: for five from half court on full of jumpers Like 302 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: that wasn't something that you paid five hundred dollars a 303 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: seat for. Yeah, no, you're you're you're right, Like the 304 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: game's past of of what you actually were paying for 305 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: the time that we spent watching makes you feel a 306 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: little bit foolish seeing on how things just changed so 307 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: quickly yesterday afternoon. Well, I keep going back to it. 308 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 3: That's why a lot of people, you know, just didn't 309 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 3: tune in because the expectation was so low. Those of 310 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 3: us that were watching obviously got to see something maybe 311 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 3: better than we were expecting, But there were a lot 312 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 3: of people that said, it's been so bad that it's 313 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 3: not even worth me tuning in for to see the 314 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 3: potential that it could be. 315 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 6: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 316 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 6: the nation.

I 339 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: would have been devastating as a kid if I had 340 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 2: to go to school on President's Day. But thanks having 341 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 2: me mad appreciate it. 342 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 3: I was gonna say sick brag because I woke up 343 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 3: thinking that I was gonna be able to get stuff 344 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 3: done and then my wife was. 345 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: Like, oh, yeah, I guess who's got the day off today? 346 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 3: And I was like, well, I'm going to do radio Anyways, 347 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 3: not only is Planks the Planks kids have to go 348 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 3: to school. 349 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: My son did not. They took off Friday as well. 350 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: They made it a four day weekend. Yes. I don't 351 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: know if it was the Valentine's Day or what the 352 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 1: deal was, but my son's school is just like, don't 353 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: even bother coming in on Friday. We'll see on see 354 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Yes, yes, last night. The reason why Chris 355 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: Plank was not in his usual spot here on Fox 356 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: Sports Radio, it's because you were with the Oklahoma softball 357 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: team and a bit of history last night. I know 358 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: it's not the all time history thirty four to nothing 359 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: over UTEP. We know you're a juggernaut. What in the 360 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: world is it like? How is it like calling a 361 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: game that ends thirty four to nothing? Chris Plank? 362 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 7: Oh, one of the ends last night? 363 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 2: There was that great meme of the Popeyes employee during. 364 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: The bent over. 365 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 2: Yes, there's someone that aided me as that guy been 366 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,360 Speaker 2: over after calling it. 367 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 7: No, it's pretty cool man. This is you know, I understand. 368 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 2: On the national airwaves and with Arnie on Sunday night, 369 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 2: we don't talk a lot of softball and most people 370 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 2: don't care about college diamond sports in general. 371 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 7: But I've really been. 372 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 2: Blessed to be a part of this program for a while. 373 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 2: And it's kind of crazy to think that that's only 374 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 2: the second most runs in a game that I've called them. 375 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's now the most runs, but 376 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 2: the second was thirty three. I mean, it's just there. 377 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 2: They're an incredible offensive juggernaut. And you reach this point 378 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 2: too where you run out of ways to say ripped, 379 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 2: crushed home run, you know, deepest, probably like you start 380 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 2: making up orders to try to describe what you're seeing. 381 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 2: But here's what's crazy is they jumped out to an 382 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 2: eight zero lead DAN in the first inning without. 383 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 7: Hitting a home run. Wow, it's the station. And then 384 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 7: the baths got going. 385 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 2: I think they ended up with two Grand slams in 386 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 2: the game whenever all was said and done. But I 387 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 2: felt really bad for UTEP. You know, I don't know 388 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 2: if there's the kneeling it out process or you know, 389 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 2: the four corners that you can do in diamond sports, 390 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 2: but guys, they had just come off like this emotional 391 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,239 Speaker 2: walk off win where they beat Idaho State and they 392 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 2: were hugging and celebrating, and then all the Sooners came 393 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 2: The Sooners came in and put eight on the board 394 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 2: him in the first inning, and then it was thirty 395 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 2: four zip before you could bling. So I was a 396 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 2: pretty wild experience. And I'll tell you what, the air 397 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 2: is a little different. There's the ball flies far I thought. 398 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 1: My biggest takeaway and the reason I wouldn't have had 399 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: you on if there was controversy like we've had. We've 400 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: talked about, you know, high school games that are you know, 401 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty to ten and you talk about that. 402 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 1: I read a quote from the from the game story 403 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 1: from a UTEP outfielder, Hallie Hogan. I hope I'm pronouncing 404 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: it correctly. Maybe it's Haley. She said there were no 405 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: ill feelings. Quote. They've done a lot for winter sports. 406 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,239 Speaker 1: We're going to take what we learned from them and 407 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: use it to advantage. And that was the quote. And 408 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: that was the quote, which is why I thought we 409 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: got to have Plank on to talk about this, because 410 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: it's not a making fun of what UTEP had gone through. 411 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: And I actually thought, from that quote from their side 412 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: is a pretty interesting look at Oklahoma softball and the 413 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: dominant program that it is that even their opponent can 414 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: take a thirty four to nothering loss in stride. 415 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 7: Well, and they saw it. Listen. 416 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 2: I've traveled with this team since twenty sixteen, so I've 417 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 2: been a part of six national championships. And I think 418 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 2: the coolest part in all of it, guys, is that 419 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 2: here's Patty Gasso, the head coach that cares about softball 420 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 2: and these sports that are not necessarily in the REV 421 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 2: share plan and that aren't talked about as making huge 422 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 2: nil dollars. And Coach Gaso sees this and she'll take 423 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 2: this traveling circus, if you will, two places like El 424 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 2: Paso and Las Cruces. And last year, you know, whenever 425 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 2: I was late showing up with the Super Bowl because 426 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 2: I don't unders san how you people live in at 427 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 2: La traffic, But I mean we went up and down 428 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 2: the coast and she would take the team to these 429 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 2: places and basically say, you're charging admission for this game, 430 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 2: and you're going to bring in more stands because this 431 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 2: is going to be the most money you're gonna make 432 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 2: this year. It's not cocky, it's not arrogant. It's a 433 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 2: care for the game. And that's why that's why this 434 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 2: woman does they want to see softball survive and thrive. Now, 435 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, fun to win and they won 436 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 2: four straight national championships. And it's quite a story, Dan, 437 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 2: when you have a team that it finishes in the 438 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 2: final four and it's a disappointment, but that's what last 439 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 2: year was like for a lot of people. And coach 440 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 2: Gaso cares about winning, but she also cares about the 441 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 2: sport and that's. 442 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 7: Why they do this. 443 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 2: And I didn't see that quote, so I think that's 444 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 2: really cool because they saw it. UTEP's not gonna have 445 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 2: that many fans in any game they play again ever. 446 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 7: You know, it's just it was people were turned away 447 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 7: at the door. They sold too many tickets. It was wild. 448 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 2: The same thing happened in New Mexico. So long winded 449 00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 2: answer to what I think is a really cool quote, Dan, they're. 450 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 7: Rocks in this sport. 451 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 2: There's girls, little girls that look up to them, and 452 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 2: we're going to be in Palm Springs this weekend and 453 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 2: there's gonna be a mob like surrounding around him. It's 454 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 2: just it's really cool to see that they've been able 455 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 2: to do so much for the sport and try to 456 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 2: continue to grow it. 457 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 3: So let me ask you this because you mentioned kind 458 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,959 Speaker 3: of the evolving place of college sports. Oklahoma did win 459 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 3: four straight championships. Last year Texas beats Texas Tech, and 460 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 3: I'm kind of curious for your perspective, but also the 461 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 3: Oklahoma perspective for people who don't know. We know during 462 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 3: football there was almost this conversation about how Texas Tech 463 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 3: kind of fast tracked their way to the top of 464 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 3: college football with nil and Texas Tech softball has a 465 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 3: million dollar player named Nija Kennedy, and I'd just be curious, 466 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 3: is it good for the game? Is it Do people 467 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 3: in Tech in softball view it as sort of a 468 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 3: cheat code like they did with Texas Tech football? Just 469 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 3: curious how people are viewing Texas Tech. And I'll be transparent. 470 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 3: I don't know much about their history before last season, 471 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 3: but I know they they had the best player in 472 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 3: the country who transferred from Stanford and then played for 473 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 3: a national championship. 474 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 2: In year one, poor missing any they never won a tournament, 475 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 2: they had never been the NCAA tournament, they had never 476 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 2: hosted or been to, they never hosted a regional and 477 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 2: all of these things were, you know, benchmarks that Texas 478 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 2: Tech reached last year. Here's what's wild about tech that. 479 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 7: I'll say. 480 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: You got Tody Campbell and what they're doing in football, 481 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 2: and everyone knows about that. Women's basketball has been a 482 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 2: sport that they've invested in men too. They I mean, 483 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 2: they're the biggest names in the portal. 484 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 7: Every sin of those. 485 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 2: Sports they've committed to and they've invested. 486 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 7: In except faotball and that's. 487 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 2: Where they were the best before all the money. 488 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 7: Started pouring in softball. Just quick on this. 489 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 2: Tody Campbell's business partner. His wife was a player on 490 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 2: the Tech to Tech softball team and really enjoyed it 491 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 2: all ther time there. So what she wanted to do 492 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 2: was continue to give back and grow this program. So 493 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 2: there you basically have a sugar mama. 494 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 7: In this case for the Texas Tech. 495 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 2: Program because a former player married, you know, Cody Campbell's 496 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 2: business partner, and now that's where they're investing their money. 497 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 7: Is it good for the game? I think? So? You know, 498 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 7: I do I want It's different. You know, you're not 499 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 7: talking about. 500 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 2: Amount of money. For most they can go out and 501 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 2: buy new cars and you know, you know, goal chains 502 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 2: or whatever people want to complain about with nil These 503 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 2: are nest eggs for businesses and homes whenever they graduate. 504 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 2: And I just I think it's good for the sport. 505 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 7: Is it sustainable. No, it's a non revenue sport. 506 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 2: But it's really cool to see that investment. 507 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 7: And then in that. 508 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 2: Challenge Aaron too to see Oklahoma who has a good 509 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 2: in i OL budget, but they're going to pay a 510 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 2: player a million dollars to see them, and Texas and 511 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 2: UCLA and others still be competitive in this world when 512 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 2: you have someone that is going above market value to 513 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 2: bring the best players to their team. 514 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: Okay, I got one more, Chris playing join us here 515 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. Torres has got one more as well, 516 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,719 Speaker 1: Chris Plank, the voice of the Oklahoma Sooners women's softball 517 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: team who beat UTEP yesterday thirty four to nothing. You're 518 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: up twenty to nothing after four. What is the mercy rule? 519 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: Because it ended after the fourteen run fifth inning where 520 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: the thirty four to nothing final game? What is the 521 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: mercy rule when it comes to college softball? 522 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 7: Eight runs five? So that's it? 523 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 2: You know, maybe they need to reevaluate it and say 524 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 2: if you're up twenty after four weeken end this thing. 525 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 2: But there was kind of a funny story. You know, 526 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 2: baseball will have you know, KICKI Hernandez is the guy 527 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 2: from the Dodgers that they'll bring in when you're getting 528 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 2: blasted and it's like, just just try to get us 529 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 2: to nat. They did that in softball yesterday. UTEP did 530 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 2: and they brought in a girl who hadn't pitched into 531 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 2: the seventh grade, and I believe it was her birthday, 532 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 2: and she walked four batters in a row and then 533 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 2: gave up a grand slam, and I think they were like, 534 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 2: ruins your birthday. Enough, let's go ahead on here. But yeah, 535 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 2: eight after five Dan is the rule, and you just 536 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 2: you got to get to five regardless, regardless. 537 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 7: She got to get to five. And that's where we 538 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 7: were yesterday. 539 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: My last one for you is non softball. 540 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 3: I was just curious, you know, I think most people 541 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 3: know you're also the Oklahoma football sideline reporter. Just wanted 542 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 3: to hear your hot takes, which maybe you dropped last 543 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 3: Sunday on Tony Petitti's twenty four team college football Playoff. 544 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 3: I was curious for your take on that. 545 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 2: Well, I didn't have all this information that was somehow 546 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 2: magically leaked or the document of pained. 547 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 7: I guess someone left it on the printer on Friday. 548 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 2: What the plan looks like? I'm you know, I went 549 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 2: through it today, really went through it with a fine 550 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 2: tooth comb. Paint me intrigue, all right. Do I think 551 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 2: that there's twenty four teams on any given season that 552 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 2: can win a national championship? 553 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 7: No, I don't. 554 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 2: But I also think conference championship weekend has become irrelevant. 555 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 2: And I also feel like some of the late season 556 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 2: games are suffering too. 557 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 7: So I like twelve. 558 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 2: Okay, I like what we're doing with twelve right now. 559 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 7: If we can get more. 560 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 2: On campus games, if this playoff games, I just say, 561 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 2: I'll paint me intrigued at and then we'll see what 562 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 2: plays out. If we get our two years of the 563 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 2: sixteen now, I got to know for you then if 564 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 2: I can turn this around, is my guy Porter Moser 565 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 2: going to save his job or am I going to 566 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 2: be covered at college basketball coaching search here in Norman 567 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 2: this offseason? Everyone knows the popcorn machine caught fire. 568 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 3: This week, Guy So of the Sooners, Though baby two 569 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 3: wins in a row. To quote Lou Brown from Major League, 570 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 3: you won yesterday. 571 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: You won today. 572 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 3: If you win tomorrow, it's called a winning streak. It 573 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 3: has happened before, So you know, you guys keep blowing 574 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 3: everybody out in the SEC. I mean, two straight wins. 575 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,679 Speaker 3: You know, you never know, it's not pretty. You know, 576 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 3: you might actually know a little bit more about the 577 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 3: buyout situation. Obviously, making the tournament last year, I assumed 578 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 3: there was some sort of extension or whatever. But I 579 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 3: think the big question is what do you do down 580 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 3: the stretch, And just looking at the schedule, next couple 581 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 3: are pretty big. Tennessee's obviously going to be a tournament team. Oh, 582 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 3: Texas A and M is probably a tournament team as well. 583 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 3: You close with Missouri and Texas right on the bubble, 584 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 3: so I would I would lean towards you're probably gonna 585 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 3: be doing a coach and search. But uh yes, it 586 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 3: hasn't been good except for the popcorn machine, which you 587 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 3: know was certainly made national headlines. 588 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 7: So yeah, I know, right, yeah. 589 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: But hey, keep winning two in a row. Who cares? 590 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 1: Spring football is around the corner, right, that's yeah, that's. 591 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 2: Gotta get John mclse. You gotta go win an SCC title. 592 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 2: That's what matters around here. 593 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 3: Our poor Buddy, Ryan Fowler, you got you have one. 594 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 3: I guess you don't have breaking rights anymore.

Not a shock by any means, 636 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: as the Dolphins are going in a new direction with 637 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: new head coach Jeff Affley. Plus you have Tyreek Hill 638 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: who's coming off of a knee injury, a gruesome knee 639 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: injury suffered in the regular season. Tyreek Hill is also 640 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: going to be thirty two years old coming off of 641 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: that knee injury. We know his game is built on 642 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: speed and explosiveness. I understand why it's probably best for 643 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: everyone for this to happen with no real clear vision 644 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: of what Tyreek Hill is going to be as he 645 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: moves on in his career, But I want to I 646 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: do want to look back on his career because I 647 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: think that there will be specifically his career in Miami, 648 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: because there are a lot of jokes, there are a 649 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: lot of things to have fun with. But with Tua 650 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: and what is likely going to happen with him moving 651 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: on from Miami this offseason, it was to me no 652 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,719 Speaker 1: doubt about it, even without a playoff win or a 653 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,479 Speaker 1: Super Bowl or appearance in the conference championship, any of that, 654 00:31:55,800 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: it was a successful move and a successful tenure for 655 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill in Miami. It may not have translated into 656 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: the great team success. However, I think when you look 657 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: back at what Tyreek Hill was able to accomplish with 658 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, which by the way, were his best years 659 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: as a professional, statistically, I think the Tyreek Hill era 660 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: in Miami was a success. 661 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 3: It's amazing how there's different standards for different organizations within 662 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 3: a sport or whatever. You know, you look at even 663 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 3: like college basketball, right like some teams are happy to 664 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 3: make a Sweet sixteen. Like you make a Sweet sixteen, 665 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 3: you're over the moon. You put a banner up. We 666 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 3: know famously UCLA does a put banners up except for 667 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 3: national championships, you know. And I think with the Miami Dolphins, 668 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 3: you go through all those quarterbacks, you're boring forever. There's 669 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 3: no significance, there's no relevance. And it was a very 670 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 3: small window. But that window where you had Tua, Tyreek Hill, 671 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 3: Jalen Waddle, Devin ah Chain, and it just felt like 672 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 3: the limits of that offense were endless. And they clearly 673 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 3: were not endless because that era is over, but there 674 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 3: was a very finite window where they were as fun 675 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 3: as anybody to watch in the NFL with Mike McDaniels. 676 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 3: Mike McDaniel, excuse me calling plays And it's not the 677 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 3: end result that a Dolphin fans want a Dolphin fans 678 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 3: Dolphin fan wants, but it is something that they haven't 679 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 3: had in quite a long time. 680 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: This was the deal the Dolphins swung with Kansas City. 681 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: They gave him a four year extension worth one hundred 682 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: and twenty million dollars when they traded for him in 683 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. After giving up a first round pick 684 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty two draft, a second round pick 685 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: in that draft, which was number fifty, the first rounder 686 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: was number twenty nine, They gave up a fourth round 687 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: pick in twenty twenty two, and then they gave up 688 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: fourth and sixth rounders in twenty twenty three. Now that's 689 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: a bit of a hall especially when you're talking about 690 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: the first and second round picks that they gave up 691 00:33:55,640 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: for Tyreek Hill. But Tyreek Hill's numbers worked translated. I 692 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: think that the Mike McDaniel era and why I was. 693 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: I'm still so in support of him, even though he's 694 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 1: not in Miami anymore and running the Chargers offense was. 695 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 1: He made it work with two a tongue of Biloa, 696 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: And I don't know where two was gonna go next, 697 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: but I don't think wherever he goes next, he's gonna 698 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: have anywhere near the success that he had. And when 699 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: you look at what Tyreek did in an offense where 700 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,879 Speaker 1: everybody knew he was probably getting the football, even more 701 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,800 Speaker 1: so in Kansas City, for Tyreek to put the numbers 702 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 1: up that he did, he had five All Pro first 703 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: team All Pro seasons. Two of those five came with 704 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,760 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. So to me, if you're the Dolphins 705 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: in making that moving seeing what Tyreek Hill did, I 706 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: think it was a success. 707 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 3: I don't think there's any doubt. I think it's also 708 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 3: interesting to look ahead and see, you know, one, what 709 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 3: actually makes sense for Tyreek Hill going forward, and then 710 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 3: two also you know where the Dolphins go at the 711 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 3: quarterbacks butt. I mean, I think it like it's the 712 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 3: draft is not good once you get past number one 713 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 3: for quarterbacks. And I think it's going to be fascinating 714 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 3: to see because there's obviously a lot of teams that 715 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 3: need quarterbacks, and it feels like a supply and demand issue, 716 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 3: and the demand greatly exceeds the supply. 717 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 1: If you were a contender, would you bring in Tyreek Hill. 718 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 3: It's a circumstantial I mean it depends on who's the coach, 719 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 3: you know, Like, yeah, I think it's it's circumstantial. Like 720 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 3: I don't know, trying to think of a good example, 721 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 3: Like I don't know if I was like Sean Payton, 722 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 3: Like I don't, I don't know, Like I'm trying to 723 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 3: think of like I think, like the Bills, I don't 724 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 3: think it. 725 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 1: Would be the worst thing to do. 726 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 3: Okay, you know, like you you have the number one 727 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 3: running rushing attack in the NFL, you have an established 728 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 3: quarterback who has the respect of the locker room. But 729 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 3: like it only takes one Tyreek Hill rant anti Bo 730 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 3: Nicks rant to blow up an entire season in Denver, 731 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like a one touchdown, three 732 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 3: interception performance by bow Knicks to you get the points. 733 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 1: So Tyrek suffered that gruesome knee injury which ends up 734 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: being his last play by the Dolphins. There was the 735 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: being apprehended by police fire to week one. There is 736 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: a lot with Tyreek Hill. But when we talk about 737 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 1: just the football aspect of it, and I think a 738 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: lot of that extra stuff will and I don't mean 739 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: to downplay it, but that will come into the decision 740 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: too for other teams. But on the field and the 741 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 1: performance and the transaction that was made. I mean almost 742 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 1: an eighteen hundred yard season led the NFL and receiving 743 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: yards again two All pros during his four years in Miami. 744 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: It may not have equated into wins, but they were 745 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 1: a better football team with him, and I think that's 746 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: the takeaway from the tenure in South Florida. He's erin Torres. 747 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 1: I'm Dan Byer. We appreciate you hanging out with us 748 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 1: on President's Day. Cavino and rich In for DP tomorrow. 749 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,720 Speaker 1: We'll talk to you tomorrow as well.
