1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Really Radio. For anyone that

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: thought that the second round would suddenly be this great

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: awakening and Duke would be just fine so far, there

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: are at least concerns. On a day where we've seen

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: Michigan absolutely go out and look like Michigan, on a

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: day where Sparty went out and looked like a dominant team,

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: we expected finally to see the awakening of dominance from Duke,

8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: and instead, yet again, they're struggling. So what's it mean

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: for us, what's it mean for the brackets, and what

10
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: does it mean for everybody that roots forward against certain

11
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: brands in college basketball? It's Bucking Fits hanging out with you.

12
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: He's Buck Rising. I'm Jason Fitzwan, Fox Sports Radio, coming

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: into your live from the radio studios. Buck. You are

14
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: in Nashville. I am in Green Bay, And as we

15
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: sit here on what is the best weekend in the

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: eyes of so many people, the best weekend in the

17
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: entire sports calendar, much was made Night one of Duke

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: because Duke struggled against Sienna. But then we say, oh well,

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: even the players admitted, even the players at halftime were like,

20
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: we didn't take them seriously enough. Right, like they were

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: going to come in this game against TCU and they

22
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: were going to look like that dominant force that deserved

23
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: to be the number one overall seed. And while they

24
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: have taken a lead in the first half of this game,

25
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: it's fair to say that they haven't looked like the

26
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: best team in the country.

27
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: No, I think that's completely reasonable, and I don't think

28
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: that they were the best team in the country heading

29
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: into this particular tournament. I mean, I understand that they

30
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: have the head to head win over Michigan in the

31
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 2: regular season on a neutral court. I understand that they've

32
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: had an excellent regular season to this point, but they're

33
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: banged up. They're dealing with significant injuries. It's unfortunate because

34
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: we would like to see the best version of the

35
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: best teams, especially one that has earned a number one

36
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: seed in the NCAA Tournament, the number one overall seed

37
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: in the NCAA Tournament, and they got banged on the

38
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: front end because of the bracket draw that they ended

39
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: up getting, which is just an absolute gauntlet on top

40
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: of not being them their best selves. So no, I

41
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: anybody who picked Duke to win it this year, I

42
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: don't think was aware and listen, not everybody has to

43
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: take their brackets seriously, right, But I do see a

44
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: lot of people, whether it's in bracket pools that I'm in,

45
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: or you know, just kind of talking to people about hey,

46
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: who you got, those kind of things, those kind of

47
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: passing by conversations.

48
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 3: A lot of people went with Duke, and.

49
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: I'm just sitting there thinking, Ah, they're pretty shaky heading

50
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: into this. Florida State really pushed them in the ACC

51
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: tournament Sienna game a ballgame, and they survived No. Sixteen

52
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: over a one seed upset in historic fashion. But if

53
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: you think that they've got longevity in this NCAA tournament,

54
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: I just think you're mistaken. This is all happening for

55
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 2: them in the worst possible fashion, after they fought really

56
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: hard all regular season long to get themselves in this position.

57
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: It's just a bad draw on a number of fronts.

58
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: And I keep going back to what the players had

59
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: to say at halftime of the first game, where they're like, well, yes,

60
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: we thought it was just gonna kind of be a cakewalk.

61
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: That just feels like a mentality problem. I understand it

62
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: is probably gonna be a cakewalk, but you can't say

63
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: it like, you can't. You can't exude that so much

64
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: that it just comes out going into halftime. You can't

65
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: be so nonchalant even with what's saying. That means that

66
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: you're willing to say that into a microphone at halftime

67
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: of a game where you are struggling. And yes, in

68
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: the second half they got it right, but goly. I mean,

69
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: that's a Siena team that rolled out five guys for

70
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: almost the entire game. And that's why I felt like

71
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: coming into this one at TCU, I felt like what

72
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: we were gonna at least get was a spark plug version,

73
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: right Like, I think it's fair to say, look, TCU

74
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: is allowed to be a much better basketball team than

75
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: Siena was. That's not a hot take. But I think

76
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: where it gets interesting to me is I expected sort

77
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: of this pop of energy at the beginning for this

78
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: game from Duke and it just hasn't been there. Yes,

79
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: they have a lead, but maybe it's because I just

80
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: watched Michigan go out and look like Michigan, right, Like,

81
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: Michigan went out and looks scary in that game. And

82
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: I know the guys on the broadcast said send him

83
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: to Indy, but my god like, Michigan looked like a

84
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: one seat. I don't know if Duke's playing with their

85
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: food or if they're indifferent, or they're just not as

86
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: good as I think they should be.

87
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: It's the last one. It's the last of the three.

88
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: They're not as good as you think they should be.

89
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: And I know that's not sexy, right because you have

90
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: high expectations. They are seated number one overall. Anybody would

91
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: look at that on face value and say, no, this

92
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: Duke team is underperforming. They are underperforming no matter how

93
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: many of their pieces and parts get hurt, because you don't.

94
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: It's just such a I don't know.

95
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 2: Almost I almost feel lazy for categorizing this way. But

96
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: the vibes are bad, like the vibes are bad for

97
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: them at this point in time, they weren't good against

98
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: the any You don't like that the quiet part being

99
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 2: said out loud and listen Michigan's win today. I know

100
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: it ended up being by double digits over Saint Louis,

101
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: but Saint Louis was balling, Okay, Saint Louis came to play.

102
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 3: It's just Michigan was overwhelming. I think somebody on.

103
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 2: Twitter categorized it as Michigan just being inevitable despite slew

104
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: out there, you know, hooping a little bit keeping pace

105
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: with them, or at least performing on the court in

106
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: a way that would not make you say, no, that

107
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: team just got its ass kick.

108
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: Now.

109
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 2: They fought as best they could. Michigan's just simply a

110
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 2: better basketball team. That's not what Duke is right now.

111
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 2: That not this current construct of their roster trying to

112
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: fight through a variety of different things. And they may

113
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: still have one of the best players left in this

114
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: tournament and Boozer, but they're going to need him to

115
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: play damn near forty minutes again, and he's going to

116
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 2: need to have one of these superhero moments. They are

117
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: very much a survive and advanced team, and it sounds

118
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: silly to say about the number one overall seed in

119
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: the tournament.

120
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I keep going back to Michigan handing out blocks

121
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: like Oprah hands out cars in that game, right, like

122
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: in the first half the amount of just I felt

123
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: bad for the Saint Louis guys because they.

124
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: Also, where are you watching this? You're in Green Bay?

125
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: Do it?

126
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: Getting ready to do an IFL broadcast on Yahoo? Where

127
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 2: the hell are you seeing March madness. They got it

128
00:05:58,880 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 2: on in the press box.

129
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: Multi tasking, baby, Come on, this is what we do this, No,

130
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: I was. I spent much of the afternoon until recently

131
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: at the Oneida Casino and Hotel directly next next to

132
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: the arena. I was doing my work. I wasn't out

133
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: there at the tables. I was doing my It's fine.

134
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: It's how I like my play by player guy with

135
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: a side of degenerate to him.

136
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: It makes me hair for okay.

137
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: I was just listing the place. I wasn't saying I

138
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: was part.

139
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: Belonging the IFL. I feel like this is fitting, you know,

140
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: broadfire situation.

141
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, tonight I'm calling the Green Bay Blizzard versus Fisher's

142
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: Freight IFL game, which you can check out on the

143
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: I WHO Sports Network at eight pm wherever he gets

144
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: free TV. How's that for a shameless bug having a

145
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: good time In fact book, I don't want to brag

146
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: or anything. I do want to brag. They're having me

147
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: throw the ceremonial like a ceremonial first ball to the ref,

148
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: from the press box to the field, thoughts and prayers.

149
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: I got one warm up shot. It went straight to midfield,

150
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: like I nailed it straight to midfield. Thoughts and prayers though,

151
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: because like this could end up going really bad for me.

152
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 3: Yes, I hope so, and loudly on the internet.

153
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 2: I need you need to start carrying your weight around here. Okay,

154
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: if you're gonna skip all these shows, you're gonna make

155
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: it difficult on the in and Mary to track you

156
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: down and figure out where in the country you are

157
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: because you're doing uh indoor football league. It's not it's different.

158
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: I was during the football season. I was bouncing around

159
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: the NFL, even if I was following a three and

160
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: fourteen team, because it's part of what I do.

161
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 4: This.

162
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: You know you're gonna you're gonna have to You're gonna

163
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: have to pay us off a little bit, and you

164
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: can do so in a viral moment that would go

165
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: hopefully sideways. I'm thinking me throwing the first pitch bad.

166
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that's what everybody's hoping, like. I think that's

167
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: what they like. From the time they suggested. I think

168
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: that's Originally they were asking if I wanted to try

169
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: and flip the coin from the press box, and I

170
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: was like, somebody's gonna get murdered, Like that's gonna end

171
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: up like that SNL skip with Martin short for the

172
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: Christmas Carol where you're throwing the change out and it's

173
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: murder and everybody. That's what's gonna happen. So I'm glad

174
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm not throwing a coin from the press box, but

175
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: I am throwing a football from the press box, and

176
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: we'll just see how it goes. Like this is what

177
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: professionals do, all right, This is this is this is

178
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: how professional look. You're just you're astounded. I'm going to

179
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: tie right now. That's really what this is.

180
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 2: It is rather shocking. I don't know that I've ever

181
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: seen you at a time. Well, and this is what

182
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: ten years into our relationship. Is it a regulation football?

183
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: Al'so a situationship. Calm down, all right, you couldn't you

184
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: couldn't handle up. I am looking at the IFL is

185
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: this is this a regulation size football? Because you famously

186
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 2: have very small hands, and I don't imagine that you

187
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: would have a great grip to be able to, you know,

188
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: make sure your ball placement, your accuracy.

189
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 3: You're on point here.

190
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: You are being kind because I have tiny baby hands,

191
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: and I mean tiny baby hands, like most of the people.

192
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: Most of the women that have ever been in my

193
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: life have had larger hands than I do. I have tiny,

194
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: tiny hands. I just want to clear and clear that

195
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: anyone not sho like. So I'm clear tiny hands. So

196
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: when they said that I needed to throw the ball,

197
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: my concern was that it was going to be a

198
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: little too inflated and and in which case I don't

199
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: stand a chance. I can't get a grip on it

200
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: at all. It was a little deflated. I went straight

201
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady style, and it was a very tacky ball,

202
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: which is helpful when you have tiny baby hands, because

203
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: I need my fingers to get tacked. So I'm gonna

204
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: wipe the finger, I'm gonna wipe the hand on the

205
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: side of the leg. I'm gonna go ahead and lick

206
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: the fingers a little bit so I get a nice,

207
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: good grip. And then I'm like, keep shucks, that's the

208
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: noise of me athletically letting it flip. And I'll be honest,

209
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 1: Like the head official came up to me before the

210
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: as I was setting everything up to get ready for

211
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: play by play, head official came up and he's like,

212
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: you're throwing the ball, right, And I said, yeah, you

213
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: know what he said next used to be in a band, right,

214
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just like I think he was basically

215
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: questioning whether or not I could throw the ball at all,

216
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: and then the entire team is like, why don't we

217
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: give him a practice throw? These are all the equivalents

218
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: of like nobody trusted me and then boom. I mean

219
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: when I say I hit the middle of the logo,

220
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: like I just if Chef's kiss mid, I don't. I

221
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: don't know what I was aiming for, but I hit

222
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: the middle of the logo, I'm on Swaggy walking through

223
00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: the rest center. Now.

224
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 2: I want all of this documented. Of course it is

225
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: on the podcast. You can check out the podcast after

226
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,839

Speaker 3: He's Jason fitz on Buck Rising.

228
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 2: I want all of this documented so that when your

229
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 2: real life attempt that is categorized or documented rather on

230
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: Yahoo's Sports on their live stream. So once we have

231
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: the video to go with the pompous audio, we can

232
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: marry these two things together, no pun intended, Mary and Ian,

233
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 2: We'll do great work and.

234
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 3: We'll have all we'll have.

235
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: We'll have audio on the front end as you blow

236
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: your real life attempt. I'm I'm delighted by all of this.

237
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you for providing content for the show.

238
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: By the way, Bridge and Condon did a great job

239
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 2: last week while you were out doing your first game,

240
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 2: and I know you and Caroline and Nate Tyson the

241
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 2: rest of the crew had a great time doing that.

242
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: But this is this makes me feel more at home

243
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: because I can't quite I can't quite bother Bridget the

244
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 2: way that I can you.

245
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 3: In fact, she's rather a bully. I feel like.

246
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: She's rather a bully. Did Bucket is her feelings married?

247
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 5: Did I?

248
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: Yeah? He did? Oh, Bluck got his feelings hurt.

249
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 2: She put me, she put me on skates on a

250
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: couple of different times. Ian you you witnessed at all,

251
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: it was Yeah, she was putting you off, plast Yeah,

252
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: that's just we don't need that.

253
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 6: We don't calling out just calling out all the Buck

254
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 6: tendencies that we that we've come to know and love

255
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 6: on this show.

256
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: So when I call him an elitist and say things,

257
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 1: that's just me. But when Bridget does it all of

258
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: a sudden, I think we found out that like Buck,

259
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 1: Buck doesn't like get getting picked on by girls. That's

260
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: what we found out, because like, look, look Buck, Buck

261
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: is a very very confident man until you know, Mary

262
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: Mack says anything to him and then all of a sudden,

263
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: boo boo boom, he shrinks a little bit. I think

264
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: Buck doesn't like it picked on by girls.

265
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 3: No, I no, no. She smelled blood in the water

266
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 3: because we were talking.

267
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: About Bam in that eighty three eighty three point performance,

268
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: and I did not I could not remember the name

269
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: of his girlfriend, which I now know is Asia Wilson.

270
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 3: But she smelled blood in the water. And then she

271
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: accused me.

272
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: Of not not wanting equal opportunities or not one equality

273
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: in basketball for the sexes, and I was immediately in

274
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 2: a blender. I did not handle myself well. So again,

275
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 2: I'm glad that you're back. So you know, I can

276
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 2: be misogynistic if I need to.

277
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: Now, look, somebody around here's got to speak some truth.

278
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: We need to speak some truth about what we've actually seen.

279
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: It has been a tale of two very different approaches

280
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: in the SENSA tournament. Day one gave us chaos, Day

281
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: two gave us chalk. When we break it all down,

282
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: what does it mean for the state of college basketball?

283
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: We'll answer that next. HEA's Buck Rising. I'm Jason fitzbucking

Speaker 2: I was just going to say, who's more offended you

305
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: think by that entire exchange? The Cash estate for you

306
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 2: calling them money hungry. Uh just uh just very very

307
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: very greedy, selfish. However you want to categorize it to

308
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 2: very quickly cast aside the honor the nobility of their uh.

309
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 3: Their what's what's the word?

310
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: Paternal figure and Johnny Cash are the Tennessee Titans whom

311
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: I accused of both using a hemorrhoid commercial for the

312
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 2: touchdown song and also not scoring very many touchdowns.

313
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: Look, I just calls them like I sees them, and

314
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: so if you're gonna take the money from the hemorrhoid commercial,

315
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: then I just like they're gonna be which are so?

316
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: Which, by the way, I would I would just note

317
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 2: both of us would take the hemorrhoid money like that's

318
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 2: just what it is.

319
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: For sure.

320
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 3: I've sold worse.

321
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: To be very clear, I have no moral fiber on

322
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: any of this. So the answer is yes, if you

323
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: want me to sing about like you know whatever, if

324
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: you want me to stand up and advertise whatever it is,

325
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: I do not care. I will take all of it. Yes, please,

326
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: thank you. I'm one hundred percent Well, no golden crowl

327
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: all day. You know, a golden crowd. Hit me up

328
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: and I'll go doubles. I'll go double and I'll just

329
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: bring a different person. That's a great act. Campaign for

330
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: Bucking fits. Every single time I'm in a Golden crowd,

331
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm with somebody that says they're Buck Rising, but it's

332
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: never Buck Rising. And then we FaceTime you each time

333
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: to see if you could come in. But then I

334
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: get more and more people that you're just frustrated would

335
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: be taking your platform in that moment. So this this

336
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: is amazing. We're on it. I love this. By the way,

337
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: while we're while we're just spitbaulling creative ideas for the show,

338
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: Ian has just said that he's decided that every week

339
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: I do an indoor football league game, which is almost

340
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: every week for the next several months. Uh, I need

341
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: the show is going to decide on a word after

342
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: work into the broadcast. The broadcast said, Buck is not

343
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: going to watch, to be clear, So I'm gonna have

344
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: to get somebody to clip this off just to prove it.

345
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: But that that's fine, that's fine. Suggestions on a first

346
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: word that I need to work in hibbitty dibity.

347
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta lead with that. That's that's that's the

348
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: only way the audience is going to get that's that's

349
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 2: that is the way that you will get me to

350
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 2: watch this.

351
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: Thank you to everybody that helped us go viral last

352
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: week with my touchdown call where I said, skippity you know,

353
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: sweety swoot, he is going for the booty. I haven't

354
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: figured out how to work in hibbitty dibity, but I'll

355
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: think about that. There's got to be I mean, you.

356
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 6: Can to the end zone.

357
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: Well no, if it just me more, it's like a

358
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: little juke move. Hit him with the hibbity end of dibity.

359
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: Come on, hit him with the hibbity dibity.

360
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: Now, it's gotta it's gotta it's gotta be. It's gotta flow.

361
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: It's gotta be seamless. You can't break it up. I

362
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 2: feel like that's cheating.

363
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: He hit him with the hibbity dibity. That's like the

364
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: little mar suggestion. Okay, Martin, what do you got now?

365
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 5: Forgive my ignorance of the rafters here, but I think

366
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 5: it could work more naturally if you had a Hues

367
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 5: or a Barns. Right, It's like Hues put the cutback,

368
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 5: hit him with the hibbitty dibity. It kind of flows

369
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 5: in with the alliteration. You can get away with a

370
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 5: lot with a literation.

371
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, an hue b name. Okay, I'll start looking through

372
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: that and see, oh, that's also a good sack call.

373
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: You know. He you know, hit him with the hiberity

374
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: dibity boom, nails him down. I like this, like maybe maybe.

375
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 6: Wrong something of the heavy debity.

376
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm openly shilling, by the way, for advertising opportunities in

377
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: my my touchdown calls. I'm just letting you know right

378
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: now because tonight's gonna involve a restaurant. That's all I'm saying.

379
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm going straight for a like I am going straight

380
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: to try and get sponsorship deals.

381
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 9: You know what's going to be called?

382
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 3: Yes, I know already.

383
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 2: We've we've already discussed this and it's not going to

384
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 2: be the one that you keep trying to force literally

385
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: force down my throat.

386
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 9: I'm not trying to fourth nothing.

387
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 2: I think next week I can a week at all

388
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 2: of the America. Can hear your smile through the microphone?

389
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? You're not slick, You're not sick

390
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 3: at all. I see you.

391
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: To be sick when when you know you own him,

392
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: you don't have to be slick. That's all I'm saying. Uh, Mary,

393
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: absolutely owning bucket again. Let me ask you about the

394
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: nc Double Tournament. We should we should talk about sports

395
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: that are going on right now that aren't indoor football.

396
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: The NCUAA tournament gave us two very different days. Right

397
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 1: Day one was total chaos. Day one saw a bunch

398
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: of near upsets or upsets. We saw some beautiful you know,

399
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: one shining moment type endings. Day two all chalk, I

400
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: mean all chalk and a lot of blowouts, right, like,

401
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: not even close. I came away from.

402
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: Well wait now, just wait, because we did get close.

403
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: Santa Clair about got Kentucky. It took overtime. Mark, Yeah, well,

404
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt. I just well

405
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 2: because I think that that is that was as close

406
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: to the upset feeling. I mean, there's not been a

407
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 2: more electric game so far in the tournament where you're

408
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: just change, You're just trading blows with mere seconds left

409
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 2: on the clock. Obviously it goes to overtime. Kentucky is

410
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 2: able to pull away because Oway is just an absolute

411
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 2: monster again for them, he has been he's been truly special.

412
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 3: He's the thing that's going to keep them alive.

413
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 2: But I sat there watching that basketball game very closely

414
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 2: because I do not root for the University of Kentucky

415
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,719
Speaker 2: other than the fact that I picked them in my bracket,

416
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 2: and I felt dirty doing it. I went to Indiana.

417
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 2: It's not that I hate Kentucky fans. I hate your

418
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: basketball program because it's been nothing but suffering in my life.

419
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: I hate them the same way that I hate for Due.

420
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: It's not personal, it's simply professional hate. So it felt

421
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 2: gross to root for Kentucky to beat Santa Clair because

422
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 2: Santa Clair was trying so hard to give us that moment.

423
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 2: But also I sat there watching it as objectively I

424
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 2: could as I could, and I said, I think Mark

425
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: Pote needs to be fired, Like if I'm a Kentucky fan,

426
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 2: and I don't do this just to instigate. If I'm

427
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 2: a Kentucky fan, genuinely, I'm looking at that coach and saying, WHOA.

428
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 2: I mean, it can be time for Cal and them

429
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: to move on from one another. And whatever Arkansas does

430
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: in this tournament, good on Cal. That I think Kentucky

431
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 2: fans have separated themselves enough from the experience to say

432
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what he does now.

433
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: It was time to move on.

434
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 2: I really do think that that is the general consensus

435
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 2: among the fan base externally. It's understandable how you might

436
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 2: look at that and say, oh, the Kentucky fans wish

437
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: that Cal hadn't have decided that he was over it,

438
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: or that there hadn't been a falling out or a

439
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: disagreement between he and Mitch Barnhart, the analytic director, who's

440
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: also on his way out the door.

441
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 3: He's retiring.

442
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 2: That was announced a couple of weeks ago, maybe a

443
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 2: month ago at this point in time, but Mark Pope

444
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 2: almost got fired yesterday, and because of otega Oway, he

445
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 2: continues to keep that basketball team under his purview.

446
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 3: But I don't know how much.

447
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 2: I don't know how much they're going to be able

448
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 2: to stomach if it continues to look like that, because

449
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 2: they're not going to win many games if they do.

450
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: Well, And that's the hard part, especially in this nielma Or.

451
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: We talk a lot about the pressure the kids are under,

452
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, coming in and they're making millions of dollars. Look,

453
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: college basketball coaches have always had pressure, but I think

454
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: it's different when you look at it and say, hey,

455
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: we spend how much on this roster for what what

456
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: are we spending that money on?

457
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 3: Right?

458
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: And that's why, whether we're talking about Kentucky or whether

459
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: we're talking about North Carolina like the at some point

460
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: you're looking at some blue blood legacy programs that have

461
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: an expectation, and that expectation is national championships. And it

462
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: can't be easy, even though they haven't necessarily looked dominant

463
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: through the process, to see Shire step into Duke and

464
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: not even miss a beat. Right, So you're watching some

465
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: success and you're seeing this turning point. And this all

466
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: comes back to the fact that I, you know, we

467
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: were sold a this is gonna be the worst tournament

468
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: ever because it's the haves and the have nots. I

469
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: don't believe that. I genuinely don't believe that we are

470
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: in a have and have not era of college basketball

471
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: right now. I think Day one showed us that there

472
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: are some good teams that are flat out better than everybody.

473
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: I think, you know, it's fair to look around and say, hey,

474
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: we're seeing some blowouts. It doesn't mean that big brands

475
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: are the moderate bands. Brands can no longer compete with

476
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: big bands. I don't think that's the case at all.

477
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: Just means there are some teams this year that are

478
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: just flat out better than everybody else. But when you

479
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: see that and you're in Kentucky, you gotta wonder how

480
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: do you get there? Like, what's wrong? Because certainly, if

481
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: the expectation is national championships, that expectation doesn't look like

482
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: it's close to being met from a product on the field.

483
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: Let's get Martin to get us an update on the scoreboard,

484
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: and then we'll keep breaking out what all of this

485
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: means for college basketball.

486
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 5: You've opened the rabbit hole now, because now I'm just

487
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 5: thinking about indoor football lines that you could use, like

488
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 5: you know, if you've got a guy named Kenny or

489
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 5: something like that. Oh my god, they killed Kenny on

490
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 5: a big hit, you know.

491
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: Ny I like that?

492
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 5: You know, I got so many like now, I just

493
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 5: have so many. It's Mars madness now. So I'm gonna

494
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 5: get to business. But you've really I have a whole

495
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 5: list next up. They might be three and a half

496
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,800

541
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: You, He's Buck Rising, I'm Jason fitzit's Bucking Fits hanging

542
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: out with you. I'm Fox Sports Radio. Buck. So, where

543
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 1: where are you on it? After two days? Three days?

544
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: Now almost of the attorney seeing a bunch of mid

545
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: majors be competitive day one and get a couple of

546
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: big wins and their coaches use that platform to say

547
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: schedule us, and then seeing all most mostly blowouts in

548
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: day two? Is competitive balance and issue to you? In

549
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: college basketball.

550
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 3: Between mid major in Power four?

551
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, more so than usual. Well, like, do you think

552
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: that there's a problem.

553
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 3: No, I don't think there's a problem.

554
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 2: I just think you're you're playing with different horsepower like

555
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 2: Tennessee and in Miami of Ohio. Okay, Tennessee's not a

556
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 2: great basketball team. I'm not going to say that they're

557
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 2: not good, because I do think that any team with

558
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 2: Jacobe Gillespie and Nate Ament, who's going to be a

559
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 2: first round pick next year in the NBA Draft as

560
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 2: a one and done freshman, that's I can't say that

561
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: they are a bad basketball team, but they're inconsistent, right

562
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 2: when they play Power four opponents where they struggled through

563
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 2: the stretch of the SEC slate. They had two bad

564
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 2: losses this year to Kentucky, they blew I think it

565
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 2: was a thirteen point lead at home to Alabama at

566
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: the end of the regular season. Like they have some

567
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 2: things about them that make you think that's not that's

568
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 2: not the strongest team in the tournament.

569
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,479
Speaker 3: And they dusted Miami of Ohio.

570
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: It's just what it was going to be because my

571
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 2: Amia of Ohios and I story they to their credit,

572
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: they tried to schedule better opponents. I don't blame them

573
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 2: at all for trying and failing to get somebody, a

574
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: power for program to take their games early.

575
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 3: On in the season, because you don't want to be

576
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 3: the team.

577
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 2: That loses to them early in the season. You don't

578
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 2: want to be the team that gets circled. And that's

579
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 2: you're going to get Miami of Ohio's best shot because

580
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 2: they're the rest of their schedule.

581
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 3: You know what, would it rank something.

582
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 2: Very very paltry, sure, right, I mean just relative to

583
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 2: power for conference basketball, that's not going to be competitive

584
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 2: when these kind of programs meet in a single elimination format,

585
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 2: which is the best part of March madness. Yeah, there

586
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 2: might be an upset or two and that's delightful and

587
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: things will ultimately even out. It's not a case for certainly,

588
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 2: it's not a case for expansion of the NCAA tournament

589
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 2: the way that we see Charlie Baker, the president of

590
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 2: the NCAA, talking about. I think that there are different things.

591
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 2: There are different ways that you can adjust the level

592
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 2: of competitiveness without having to further water down the product.

593
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 3: Even though I did see that the.

594
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: First four game featuring Miami of Ohio and SMU was

595
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 2: one of the I think it was the most watched

596
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: first first four game in broadcast television.

597
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 3: Or something like that. It was something.

598
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 2: They got a ridiculous number on it relative to what

599
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 2: they're used to. I don't want to speak out of turn.

600
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: I don't know the exact fact on that. All I

601
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 2: know is that drew a huge number and that was unexpected.

602
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: But they won, right, Miami Ohio did win a game,

603
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: And I think that's where what gets interesting to me

604
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 1: is that I spent plenty of time even on our

605
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: Yahoo broadcast leading up to it, with the practology I

606
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: was talking to college basketball guys that were saying, now

607
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: nil has created such a gap that you know, we're

608
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: just gonna have to live through a bunch of slaughters

609
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: to get to the next round. And I think that's

610
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: just such a narrow minded way of looking at this,

611
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: because frankly, we did see some mid major success on

612
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: day one, but also you mentioned some of the inconsistencies.

613
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: I think that's really been the case for ninety nine

614
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: percent of the college basketball programs this year, like Michigan State.

615
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,239
Speaker 1: You know, in the update, we heard that Fears had

616
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: a bad shooting day. If I had a nickel for

617
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: every time Michigan State's had a bad shooting day this year,

618
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: I'd be rich, right, Like, there are times that they

619
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: can't hit the broadside of a barn. We've seen Michigan

620
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: look so good that at one point people were trying

621
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: to tell us on TNT that they were one of

622
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: the three best teams of all time in college basketball,

623
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: and then they didn't look like it anymore, right, like

624
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: the ups and downs. Connecticut is a team that certainly

625
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 1: at times has looked like world beaters, and then at

626
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: times it's like, is this even a Hurley team? There's

627
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: been such maddening inconsistency within the best programs that are

628
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: pre four and that to me, I look at it

629
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: and say, there's absolutely nothing wrong, Like nothing needs to change.

630
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: The Miamis of Ohios will get the wins when they

631
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: get them, will love it when we love it. But realistically,

632
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: I think the game is what the game is, right, Like,

633
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: It's just I don't think that there's an issue. And

634
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: so it's funny to me because we spend so much

635
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: time fixing baseball and fixing the NBA, feels like everyone

636
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: wants to fix college sports. And it's like, y'all the

637
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: numbers showed that the college sports aren't really that broken,

638
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: and if you look at it from a take your

639
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:09,719
Speaker 1: feels out of it and just look at it from

640
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: the metrics of what people are actually watching combined with

641
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: whether or not just with no emotion. Was this a

642
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: fun day? Like Thursday was a fun day. So I

643
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: guess I'm just pushing back on the narrative that college

644
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: sports are broken, especially in the modern NIO.

645
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: Well, it just depends on what your worldview is of

646
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 2: college sports. Right, We're dealing in a we're dealing in

647
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 2: an alternative facts type of situation. Where if you think

648
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 2: that the way the college sports has evolved inherently means

649
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 2: that it's broken, then there's nothing I'm gonna be able

650
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 2: to do to convince you that no, we're actually seeing

651
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 2: on aggregate, I think this is as entertained by a

652
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 2: college football season as I've ever been and it's not

653
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: just because my alma mater won the title. I know

654
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 2: that that there may be some bias, right because there's

655
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 2: a there's as cool a story in sports as I've

656
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 2: ever seen, and I witnessed it in the semi final

657
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 2: and in the national championship.

658
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 3: I'll be honest, I wasn't.

659
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 2: Watching Indiana football before the before the semi final, the

660
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 2: national championship.

661
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 3: I'll just be straight up.

662
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 2: I feel like, objectively, with the way that college sports

663
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: and the competitive balance has shifted, that there is as

664
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 2: much entertainment value as there's ever been. And at the

665
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 2: end of the day, my core utility from college sports

666
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: is to simply be entertained. I'm not somebody who's wringing

667
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 2: my hands over the idea that college athletes at eighteen

668
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 2: year olds should never be in a million years paid

669
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: the kind of money that they're currently being paid, or

670
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: twenty four year olds or whatever the case may be,

671
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 2: on both ends of the extremes that we see in

672
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 2: college sports right now, because I'm entertained by it and

673
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 2: I understand that there are some deeper issues that have

674
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 2: to be sussed out. But if you're just asking me,

675
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 2: on surface level, why I think the college sports is broken.

676
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 3: Could they use a little more guardrails?

677
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: Hell? Yes, But for the most part, I'm having a

678
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 2: ball watching this stuff on both the basketball court and

679
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 2: the football field. You know, I understand that there are

680
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 2: some different kind of conversations that spring up around lesser

681
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 2: non revenue sports, but I'm not tuning in to watch those,

682
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: just like the rest of America isn't. So the things

683
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 2: that I'm going to my television to seek out, I

684
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 2: am seeing and getting greater utility, greater entertainment utility from.

685
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, we agree one thousand percent on this because I

686
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: don't care, Like I just I can't say loud enough.

687
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: I don't care how much anybody makes. I don't care

688
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: how much any of these kids get paid. I don't

689
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: care how much coaches get paid. I don't care how

690
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: much any you know, any superstar player gets I don't

691
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: care about the nil contracts. Frankly, I don't care about

692
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: the transfer portal. I don't care about any of it.

693
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: I just care about on Saturday's or games fun. Yesterday

694
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: today were games fun. That's all I care about. Uh.

695
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 2: The thing that you should care about is the iHeartRadio app.

706
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: when we watch college sports, Buck and I agree, we're entertained.

707
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: Speaking of entertaining, flag football was supposed to entertain so

708
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: many people today and the result not exactly what you'd think.

709
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: We'll tell you about it coming up next. Bucket Fits

710
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

711
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,959
Speaker 1: He's Buck rising on Jason Fitzit's Bucking Fits hanging out

712
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: with you. On Fox Sports Radio. Flag football Today and

713
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: certainly flag football Today with the likes of Tom Brady

714
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: and Gronk, gave us expectation that the NFL players were

715
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: going to step out on the field and absolutely annihilate.

716
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: In fact, last year we may remember a couple of

717
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: flag football players came out and loudly talked their talk

718
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: on why they could do their jobs better than Mahomes

719
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: could do the respective job that they have. Many of

720
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: us laughed, but buck today, so far, the flag football

721
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: players have put on a clinic like we do. Just

722
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: assume that for the Olympics, where it becomes a sport

723
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty eight, that is going to be whittled.

724
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: The field's going to be full of NFL players. Today's

725
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: an indication that maybe, you know, maybe there's a little adjustment,

726
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: maybe there's some maybe there's some time on task that

727
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: actually goes into this, just like all football.

728
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm going to give you the roster for

729
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: Team Founders, one of the teams comprised of NFL football

730
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 2: players that are competing in this event. So Team Founders

731
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 2: is Tom Brady, Jalen Hurts, Ashton Genty, Alvin Kamara, Rob Gronkowski,

732
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: Antoine Winfield, Junior Devonte Smith to Fawon Diggs, Von Miller, Demorrow, Hamlin,

733
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: Patrick Peterson, and Terence Crawford.

734
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 3: So in any circumstance you would.

735
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 2: Look at that roster of players and say, yeah, they

736
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 2: could probably hold their on hold their own on a

737
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 2: flag football field. Except they lost forty three to sixteen.

738
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 2: Ah out that roster to Team USA, Team USA, who

739
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 2: are the flag football The career flag football players beat

740
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 2: Team Founders forty three to sixteen. So Tom Brady had

741
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 2: a nice touchdown pass in the back of the end

742
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 2: zone to Stefon Diggs under pressure. That's about all that

743
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 2: happened today. The NFL players, I'm seeing more highlights of

744
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,479
Speaker 2: the actual flag football players are out here kicking ass

745
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 2: and taking name. So good on them for backing up

746
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 2: their talk, because I think, you know, I also pointed

747
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 2: and laughed at these flag football players for having any

748
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 2: sense of I don't know, sense of pride.

749
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 3: In what it is that they do for a living.

750
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 2: It was very very dismissive with me, and it feels

751
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 2: like a large majority of people in the country did

752
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 2: to them at this about this time last year when

753
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 2: they said no of course, we're gonna dust NFL football

754
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 2: players if they step into our arena, because how much

755
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 2: difference could there actually be between professional football and flag?

756
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 2: Turns out huge golf?

757
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: Well, and part of this like makes me just realize

758
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: how different football is in basketball, right Like, you could

759
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: take whatever you know, You're gonna take whatever ten NBA

760
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: players you want, you're gonna put them together on a

761
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: roster ten stars, and you're gonna let them take on

762
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: ten streetball guys. I'm gonna feel pretty good about the

763
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: Stars in that situation. Likely, I get that they're different games.

764
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: Flag football is spaced so differently and the way it's

765
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 1: played is so differently. Hell Like, as we've covered a bunch,

766
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: I'm sitting at the rest center getting ready tonight to

767
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 1: call indoor Football League, also on a fifty yard field.

768
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 1: And one thing that's pretty staggering is talking to dbs.

769
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: You know, there's a couple of dbs in this game

770
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: that played major college football, and they'll tell you how

771
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: different this game is because your responsibilities are so different.

772
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: And I don't think we necessarily think about that. We

773
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: just think, Wow, this guy's fast and huge and they're

774
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: an NFL All Pro therefore they will make a great

775
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: flag football player. Like, it's just a very different And

776
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: then just above me on that you're taking out all

777
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: real contact, so you know, contact is something certainly that

778
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: you've got to It's got to make a huge difference

779
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: for the wide receivers. It makes a huge different for

780
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: releasing off the line, it makes a huge difference for

781
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: the way the defense attacks the football. Like all of

782
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: these things kind of make sense. It's just hard because

783
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: we live in a basketball mentality where you think, okay,

784
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: ten all stars just walked into the local, why they're

785
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: gonna win. It's obviously not that simple, and at least

786
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: raises a question if we need to recalibrate some of

787
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: what we think we just presume is going to be

788
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: in LA for the Olympics.

789
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm curious to see how that's gonna go.

790
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 2: And it certainly brings about, you know, it brings about

791
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 2: a different level of respect for the people who have

792
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 2: spent their entire lives training for this specific sport.

793
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 3: I've got a buddy actually.

794
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 2: That goes to the gym that I go to, and

795
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 2: he was somebody who has trained and been uh.

796
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 3: Bless you. It's it's okay. You tried to move your microphone.

797
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: It was very like, I don't have a button, I

798
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: have nothing. I tried, you know, I couldn't give thank you.

799
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 1: Thank you guys so much. I appreciate you.

800
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,280
Speaker 3: It's okay, it's it's fine.

801
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 2: I just wanted to make sure that America knew you

802
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 2: sneezed into the microphone.

803
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: That's all, thank you.

804
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 2: I am thinking that this is going to be a

805
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 2: curiosity because our NFL player is going to change if

806
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 2: they want to actually compete in this thing.

807
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 3: Are they going to change up?

808
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 2: They're very very specific routines to try and get ready

809
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 2: for this. Are teams even going to be interested? Are

810
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 2: we going to start seeing like Marcus Mariota had a

811
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 2: clause in his contract his rookie season or his rookie

812
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 2: his rookie deal that wasn't you know, going to allow

813
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 2: him to surf because Marcus likes to surf. Marcus is

814
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 2: from Hawaii. That's a bit of a health risk, you know,

815
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,280
Speaker 2: understanding that there's a million different things that could happen,

816
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 2: but you know, it was a sticking point that you know,

817
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 2: people talk about offset language and how long it takes

818
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 2: rookies to get the deal done. Sometimes well, sometimes that

819
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 2: language also includes different kinds of risks that NFL teams

820
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 2: are not going to be held responsible for or will

821
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 2: void your contract and you'll be out your guaranteed money

822
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 2: and c DK metcalf if you do grab a fan

823
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 2: a little too tersely. You understand that these things, you know,

824
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 2: can escalate, and you don't. You want to protect the

825
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 2: customer at the end of the day. But it avoids

826
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 2: forty five million dollars in guarantees in his contract and

827
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 2: he's leaking around to be like what happened here?

828
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 3: Right?

829
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 2: This This is the kind of stuff that I'd be curious.

830
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,760
Speaker 2: I'd be surprised if NFL clubs actually got on board

831
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 2: with no will allow you to train or disrupt your

832
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,879
Speaker 2: routine for the opportunity to compete in the Olympics. It's

833
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 2: I think it's going to end up being a loss

834
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 2: because I mean, how much more fun with the Winter

835
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 2: Olympics with NHL players in them, right, I Mean, it

836
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 2: just made all the difference in the world. And I

837
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 2: think that you get a different level of investment from

838
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 2: the consumer and from the player if you do give

839
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 2: give them the opportunity to compete for their country.

840
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: And from the league. Remembering that the NFL has committed

841
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: thirty two million dollars one million dollars per owner for

842
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 1: a new flag football league, that they're going to be

843
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: launching both men's and women's playing separately men's and women.

844
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: So that's why I continually say that women's flag football,

845
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: I think is going to become quickly one of the

846
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 1: fastest growing sports in America because there's already several high

847
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: schools across the country that have certified programs on it.

848
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: There are a couple of colleges that have now added

849
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,439
Speaker 1: scholarship programs on it for Title nine scholarships, and trying

850
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 1: to balance those numbers out adding more women's sports makes

851
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: a ton of sense. I believe the league wants this investment,

852
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: But to your point, and it really sticks in my

853
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: head after you made it when you think about the

854
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: specific training regimen for so many of these guys, even

855
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: if the league will allow it, when are they going

856
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: to do it after the league year? Are they going

857
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: to disrupt their training for their next NFL season to

858
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: do what's necessary to become great flag football players. I'm

859
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: presuming it takes some different discipline in process and different

860
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: training in general. I can only tell you this game,

861
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: particularly an indoor football, you need a lot more cardio

862
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: than you do in regular football, so outdoor football, so

863
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what that's gonna look like. So it's interesting,

864
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, from a team standpoint, they want the NFL

865
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: players in. The NFL players have made it clear they

866
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 1: want to be in. But there are players that have

867
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: been giving years to this sport already that intend to

868
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 1: play in it. And through all of it, the NFL

869
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: is about to invest a ton of money. There is

870
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: a dynamic behind the scenes that will be wild from

871
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 1: a power standpoint to see who actually moves forward. Who's

872
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: moving forward in the NCL Double A Tournament. What's it mean?

873
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: We'll tell you next Bucking fits Fox Sports Radio. You're

874
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio with the second round

875
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: of the nc DOUBLEA Tournament, action already underway and all

876
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: of the results we've seen, through all of the chaos,

877
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: through all of the already buzzer beaters we've had for

878
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: the coaches that we think might already be on the

879
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,760
Speaker 1: hot seat from this, there is one thing that is clear.

880
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: There are a couple of teams that are just better

881
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: than everybody. It's Bucking Fits on Fox Sports Radio. He's

882
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: Buck Rising. I'm Jason fitz Buck. I mean, I don't

883
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: want to oversimplify here, but you have a coach saying,

884
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: you know, what can you do to slow them down?

885
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: And he says we need help from God. That's what

886
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 1: happens when you take on the size and the shooting

887
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: of Florida. When I watch what I saw from Michigan today,

888
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: I just sit back and I say, man, we have

889
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 1: over complicated this damn thing. Like we have sat here

890
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: and we have tried all year to make college basketball

891
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: really difficult, and right now it's pretty simple to me.

892
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: As good as some teams have been in these moments,

893
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: there are two teams so far in this tournament that

894
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: are just jaw dropping. That to me is Florida in

895
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: limited action and Michigan again today, both telling me, hey,

896
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: you can question all you want. Some of these brands

897
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: don't question us.

898
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 2: No, And that's what you kind of look for through

899
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 2: the first weekend, right.

900
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 3: That's it's It's one of.

901
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 2: Those things where there's there's no such thing as a

902
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 2: surefire winner in the NCAA tournament, like you are subject

903
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 2: to as much. I don't know what's the more random

904
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 2: playoff tournament. Is it Marks Madness or the Stanley Cup,

905
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 2: Because even in the stand the Cup, like you understand,

906
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 2: or the Stanley Cup playoffs, you understand that you're going

907
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 2: to get multiple opportunities, and more often than not, I mean,

908
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,399
Speaker 2: you have some you have some fluky runs here and there,

909
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 2: you have some unexpected champions occasionally. I think the Florida

910
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 2: Panthers are a good example of that in their first

911
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 2: run through it. But I feel like March Madness is

912
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 2: as random. It's a really flawed way to crown the

913
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 2: best team in the sport, even if it is one

914
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 2: of the most enjoyable.

915
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think the intent is to crown the

916
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: best team in sports. In fact, in most sports, I

917
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: don't think the intent is to crown the best team

918
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,439
Speaker 1: in sports. Like it's funny because that's what we want,

919
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: or that's what we say we want. But how many

920
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,879
Speaker 1: people celebrated the New York Giants taking down an undefeated

921
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: Patriots team right in a year that was clearly it

922
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: was clear who the best team in sports was in

923
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: that sport that year. The best team all dang year

924
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: long was in New England Patriots, And when we got

925
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl it was like, ooh, I want

926
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: to say chaos. Like I don't think we want to

927
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: see the best team usually get crowded. We want to

928
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: see a great team that we can, you know, celebrate

929
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: as a great team, but we just want to see

930
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 1: a team on a heater do something unexpected, like at

931
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: the end of all of it, you know, And to

932
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: your question of which is more sort of chaotic, I

933
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: think March Madness because it's one and done right the

934
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: NHL playoffs, you get a hot goalie, you can go

935
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: to the Stanley Cup Final, but you still gotta win

936
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: best a seven series over and over and over again.

937
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: Now hot team wins, Like I think the regular season

938
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,280
Speaker 1: in the NHL is even more meaningless than the regular

939
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: season in the NBA. Like I don't know why we

940
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 1: watch regular season hockey half the time other than we

941
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: just love the sport. So it's like it's great to watch,

942
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: it's fun to watch, but at the end of the day,

943
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 1: it's not, sort of it's worthless. But when you look

944
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: at at the the playoff portion of it, the playoff

945
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: portion of it is frankly all about can you get

946
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: a hot goalie at the right time. March madness is

947
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: just where you hot that day, Like if you have

948
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: a bad shooting day, your season ends for the NCAA tournament.

949
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: Like I mentioned Michigan State, Michigan State has had some

950
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: games where they're lights out and games where they're terrible.

951
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 1: I could see Michigan State winning a national championship. I'm

952
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 1: also I like, if you told me they were going

953
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 1: to be a first round out, Okay, they probably just

954
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: couldn't shoot that day.

955
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 3: Well.

956
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 2: I think it's one of those things where it's also

957
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:19,399
Speaker 2: a bit formulaic, like has that team survived that kind

958
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 2: of particular adversity throughout the course the regular season that

959
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 2: they will be tested with in the playoffs.

960
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 3: Like I think Michigan.

961
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 2: State plays particularly, I don't enjoy watching them right Like

962
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 2: I like tom Izzo, I understand that it's a very

963
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 2: proud program. I'm not I'm not harboring any you know,

964
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 2: outside Big ten Ill Will. I'm happy that Indiana is

965
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 2: not in the tournament as a basketball team. I despise

966
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 2: them at this point in time. Nothing would make me

967
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 2: more unhappy than watching my team.

968
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 3: Do what happened.

969
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 2: You know what happened in North Carolina, for example, a

970
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 2: college basketball blue blood that gets bounced in the round

971
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 2: of sixty four. I don't want to live that experience

972
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 2: if I don't have to. So no, no overwhelming ill

973
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 2: will towards Michigan State. I just simply don't like their style.

974
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 2: But that style allows them, as a lesser team or

975
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 2: a team that is going to be not the most

976
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 2: gifted offensively, it's going to give them a path to success.

977
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 2: So it's one of those lines. And I can't remember.

978
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 2: I want to say it was David Questenberry. He's an

979
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 2: offensive lineman who I think is still bouncing around the NFL.

980
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 3: To his credit, had a battle with cancer that I

981
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 3: was able to overcome.

982
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 2: I just you know, it's a random it's a random player,

983
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 2: but the quote still hits. They had this line the

984
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 2: year that he was a member of the Titans here

985
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 2: in Nashville about the way that they were winning games,

986
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 2: and if you remember, like the twenty nineteen Titans, it

987
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 2: was not pretty, but they called it beautiful.

988
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 3: Right, It's not pretty, but it's beautiful.

989
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 2: So that's one of those things where if you're Michigan State,

990
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,439
Speaker 2: that's your mantra that's the thing that's going to carry

991
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 2: you through. You don't care about what it looks like.

992
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 2: You don't care if it's a crowd pleaser. Necessarily you

993
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 2: just help, or you just care that it helps you

994
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 2: advance in critical moments where you may have some leutdowns

995
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 2: if you're not able to hit from outside.

996
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: Is there a sport more capable of giving us an

997
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: undeserving champion than the NCAA tournament? Realistically like it is?

998
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: And I say undeserving only in the sense of if

999
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: we care about the body of the regular season because

1000
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: it's so hard. Maybe the NFL. Maybe the NFL, where

1001
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,839
Speaker 1: we've seen, you know, teams with losing records win playoff games. Again,

1002
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 1: we saw the Giants, a wildcard team, take down the Patriots.

1003
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: Long before that, the Raiders is a wildcard team, took

1004
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: down the Eagles. Right, We've seen wildcard teams win. So

1005
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: maybe the NFL is the other answer to this, but

1006
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: certainly over the course of a seven game series. I

1007
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: feel like the NHL, the NBA, major League Baseball, they

1008
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,760
Speaker 1: sort of all normalize in their process. College football playoff

1009
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 1: usually the better team that one of the best teams wins,

1010
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: So I don't know. It's just interesting to me that

1011
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 1: part of what we love like and this is, you know,

1012
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 1: the annual philosophical debate, right, do we want do we

1013
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 1: want Cinderella's or do we want like is everybody rooting

1014
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 1: for Dukes to lose to Sienna or is everybody rooting

1015
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 1: for their bracket? Like? That's the annual philosophical debate. And

1016
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: maybe in that sense we embrace and love the chaos

1017
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: more than we would in other sports.

1018
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing.

1019
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 2: It just depends on I think there's a bit of

1020
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 2: a gulf between what fans want and you know, how

1021
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:23,919
Speaker 2: players and coaches view the opportunity that's ahead of them. Right,

1022
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 2: you want meritocracy if you're a coach or if you're

1023
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 2: a player. You want to know that if you earned

1024
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 2: the right to be the number one seed, that you're

1025
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 2: going to get the benefits of what that labor was,

1026
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 2: of the work that you put in on the training

1027
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 2: that you spent in the off season, on all the

1028
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 2: you know, countless hours if you're coming back from injury,

1029
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 2: rehabbing all these different thankless things that give you the

1030
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 2: hope or the drive to continue pushing through professional athletics

1031
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 2: or collegiate athletics at the moments when they get the

1032
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 2: most uncomfortable, and.

1033
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 3: As fans, we don't care about that. We don't see it.

1034
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 2: Right, It's something that you hear about, and they'll do

1035
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 2: great thing pieces on Sports Center in College Game Day

1036
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 2: about all the trials and tribulations and the Timer Naldy

1037
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 2: pieces that'll make you shed a tear. And at the

1038
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,280
Speaker 2: end of the day, you're just a blood thirsty sports

1039
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 2: fan and you want chaos. You want the most entertaining

1040
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 2: possible result. You don't want to see the Green Bay

1041
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 2: Packers in the divisional round roll the Bears. Or was

1042
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 2: that the wildcard round? I want to say maybe the

1043
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:29,280
Speaker 2: wildcard round. I can't remember exactly when that Packers Bears

1044
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 2: game took place. I want to say wild card weekend

1045
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,240
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Either way, it was so the Packers

1046
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 2: are rolling, and you don't want the Packers to just roll.

1047
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 2: That's boring. You want the theatrics that the Chicago Bears

1048
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:41,720
Speaker 2: came back with and ended.

1049
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 3: Up winning with.

1050
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 2: Right, It makes for one of the most memorable moments,

1051
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 2: even if Chicago on aggregate doesn't end up actually being

1052
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,360
Speaker 2: a better team than Green Bay. If you played that

1053
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 2: sample size ten times out of ten.

1054
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, we just again. It comes back to something you

1055
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: said earlier that I think is maybe we've accepted as

1056
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: a universal truth for this show. Is like, I just

1057
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: want to be entertained. You know. That's a funny thing

1058
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 1: because Tom Renaldi is such an amazing reporter and an

1059
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: amazing human by the way, I absolutely love the human

1060
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 1: being Tom Arnaldi. I don't like the emotional stuff on

1061
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: college football Saturdays at all. I'd rather see five fans

1062
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 1: from each team with a bunch of beers trying to

1063
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: take on a beer bond competition and just see who

1064
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: can chug the most. I don't know. I want electric energy. Like,

1065
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: to me, life is already heavy enough ninety nine percent

1066
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 1: of the time away from sports. I want sports to

1067
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 1: be a true release.

1068
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 3: Like.

1069
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 1: That's why I don't I genuinely do not care about

1070
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,800
Speaker 1: politics in my sports. I genuinely do not care about

1071
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: deep issues with my sports. I don't care about any

1072
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: of that. I just want vapid entertainment. I want to

1073
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: turn on something that I find enjoyable and smile for

1074
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 1: a few hours. The reason is I've told you before,

1075
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:51,760
Speaker 1: I love going to the movies, so much is because

1076
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: it's a few hours where my brain just stops, you know,

1077
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: and I could just be entertained. That's what I want,

1078
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: whether it's from the NFL or whether it's from March madness. Like,

1079
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: it's been a beautiful thing to me over the course

1080
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: of the last three days to just be flooded with

1081
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 1: sports and not have to think about anything else. Like

1082
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: I don't have to justify to anybody why I'm watching

1083
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: seventy two games at once. I don't have to justify

1084
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: to anybody why I'm petting on too many games. I

1085
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,720
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about, you know, what I'm eating

1086
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: or drinking. I'm just sitting back enjoying. And I think

1087
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 1: that's what Like when you look at now the destination

1088
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 1: moments on the sports calendar, they come in part because

1089
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: they have undefeated enjoyment levels, right, Like, that's that's that's

1090
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 1: what we're starving for as a society. That's why we

1091
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: keep watching live sports. We want escapism.

1092
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:38,399
Speaker 2: It's kind of it's an interesting look at I feel

1093
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 2: like I say that too much, but it's it is

1094
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 2: really curious to see some of the dialogue around the

1095
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 2: sports things that we choose to take seriously versus the

1096
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 2: things that we just allow to be feel full of

1097
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 2: pure entertainment.

1098
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 3: For example, the World Baseball Classic just happened, and I.

1099
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 2: Know the US didn't win, and Venezuela had an incredibly

1100
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 2: meaningful win for that country, and Aaron Judge took some

1101
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 2: criticism on a number of different fronts, both for his

1102
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,319
Speaker 2: performance and some comments that he had prior to the

1103
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 2: final where he was saying some of the atmosphere in

1104
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 2: the World Baseball Classic is better than the World Series.

1105
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 2: And there's some criticisms of Team USA, right, and the

1106
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 2: lack of joy that they seem to exude versus or

1107
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 2: next to in comparison all these other countries that are

1108
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 2: just having the time of their life, participating in celebrating

1109
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 2: batflips and all these different things that the Major League

1110
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 2: Baseball situation doesn't typically provide us.

1111
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 3: So is a.

1112
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 2: Win in the World Baseball Classic be more meaningful than

1113
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 2: a World Series win to a player?

1114
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1115
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 2: Can the vibe and the atmosphere be better in the

1116
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 2: World Baseball Classic even if the World Series win would

1117
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 2: still be more meaningful or it would still be a

1118
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:56,439
Speaker 2: greater career accomplishment viewed as a greater career accomplishment. Can

1119
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,839
Speaker 2: both of those things be separated and say, yeah, they're

1120
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 2: not exactly the same, not as comparable as you want

1121
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 2: to make them, but you're still getting the same or

1122
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 2: different versions of enjoyment out of it, different levels of satisfaction,

1123
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 2: different levels of accomplishment out of it.

1124
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I the images of the crowds in Florida

1125
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: walking into those WBCs, it's so sick. We're incredible. I

1126
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,319
Speaker 1: mean incredible. You were in Nashville and you know this,

1127
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: But like going to Nashville Soccer Club, like going to

1128
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,839
Speaker 1: nashvilleles C games, it just hits different, like when you

1129
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: get around tremendous that. I think that's why I love

1130
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: covering college sports so much, is because when you cover

1131
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 1: college sports, you're just around joy. There's a level of

1132
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 1: the certain things that hit different. Whether it's the Cameron crazies,

1133
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: or whether it's the way that you see kids literally

1134
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: in tiers after making buzzer beaters or literally in tears

1135
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: after losing. It's the heartbreak and it's the joy that

1136
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 1: makes this time of the year absolutely so incredible. You

1137
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:56,280
Speaker 1: mentioned the World Baseball Classic. Something is happening in baseball

1138
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: right now. That is going to have baseball players up

1139
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: at our So we'll tell you about it next. He's

1140
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: Buck Rising up, Jason fitzbucking fits, hanging out with you

1141
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. Where are you on stadium nachos?

1142
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: Buck Rising? It's bucking fits Fox Sports Radio? Where are

1143
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 1: you on stadium nachos? Oh?

1144
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:18,359
Speaker 2: I couldn't be more out on stadium nachos?

1145
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: Real?

1146
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 2: It just no, it's gross. The cheese, it's not real cheese.

1147
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 2: It coagulates if you don't eat it fast enough. I

1148
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 2: feel like nachos generally not a food that should be

1149
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:31,840
Speaker 2: eaten in public.

1150
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: Look, I'll admit it. The toughest part about being Arenas

1151
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,359
Speaker 1: to me is, at the minute I'm in it, it doesn't matter.

1152
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: I could eat the healthiest thing I've ever I could. Hell,

1153
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:42,720
Speaker 1: we could go to a nice steakhouse. Buck could treat

1154
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,320
Speaker 1: me like a nice date, treat me to a beautiful,

1155
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 1: beautiful dinner and perfect we walk out. We're so stuffed

1156
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,760
Speaker 1: we can't, you know, fit another bite in our tummies.

1157
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: And we walk out, you know, side by side. Maybe

1158
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: we skip a little bit into Bridgestone Arena. Because he's

1159
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 1: in Nashville, We're walking in to watch a Bread's game

1160
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: in this in this imaginary scenari the minute I mean

1161
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 1: the minute the door's open and I'm scanned through, suddenly

1162
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:06,839
Speaker 1: I'm like, hot talk. Do I need a hot talk?

1163
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 1: I want kind of want some notch. There's something about

1164
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 1: being in an arena that just and it's never popcorn.

1165
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 1: I don't need popcorn. But there is something about the

1166
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 1: smell of arena food that makes me want to be

1167
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty pounds of just fat happy.

1168
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 2: It's so weird. I feel like I'm pro junk food

1169
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 2: in every setting, but an arena, Like, I just don't

1170
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 2: want to eat the food in an arena because I

1171
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 2: feel like most of the time it's been under a

1172
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,240
Speaker 2: heat lamp or you know, it's it's past the point

1173
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 2: of no return. I feel like kind of that scene

1174
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 2: in Tiger King where there all the employees are taking

1175
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 2: the expired Walmart meat. I feel like the Walmart meat

1176
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 2: is what ends up in stadium food.

1177
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 1: Okay, look, maybe maybe, but it's still taste delicious, So

1178
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 1: I'm in on all of it, every single ounce of it.

1179
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,319
Speaker 1: By the way, I also love like whenever I say

1180
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 1: I like Mexican food. One thing that really say you

1181
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 1: appreciate this is somebody who lives in Nashville. When I

1182
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 1: say I like Mexican food, I don't want fancy Mexican

1183
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: that's expensive. I want to play where like like the

1184
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 1: tacos are wrapped in tinfoil when they put it on

1185
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 1: the plate and they just smother it and can cheese.

1186
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:06,839
Speaker 1: And when you ask for a CD of sour cream,

1187
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 1: it comes with like a whole carton and it's like

1188
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: six bucks. Like I'm talking like Nashville, like you know,

1189
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: Dose Marger Readers or Lost Maracas or someplace like I'm

1190
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 1: talking like you walk in and you're not sure anything's

1191
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: been cleaned. You don't care. It's on a plate that

1192
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: probably wasn't washed. They just put somebody else's cheese sauce

1193
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 1: right on top of it. Boom shifted out to you.

1194
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: That's why I want.

1195
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 2: It's just it's called season, and you can win more

1196
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 2: than six dollars in the Bracket Challenge. Because it is

1197

1199
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 2: you have already done that, so I don't think that

1200
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 2: this is still applicable.

1201
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 3: I don't think that you can still enter the bracket challenge,

1202
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 3: so I'm reading.

1203
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: It could check in on a blacket challenge. You can

1204
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 1: check in on them and see how we did. Did

Speaker 2: I even responded to Scott, I said, look, I did

1208
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 2: it this time.

1209
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:56,920

00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: baseball players are going to be in their fields for

1223
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 1: anyone that hasn't seen this because of the ABS system,

1224
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 1: the automatic balls and strikes system. They need the I

1225
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 1: mean that's not one universal area, right Like, it changes

1226
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 1: depending on the athlete. So they need a proper height

1227
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 1: measurement for every single Major League Baseball player across the board,

1228
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 1: which suddenly meant heights were being recalibrated. Buck, You know

1229
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: this being around an NFL team, Like six' four ain't

1230
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 1: always sixty. Four not every six to four is this.

1231
00:56:57,719 --> 00:56:59,840

1422
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 1: tournament action, continues and it's it's, Interesting, buck, because AS

1423
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 1: i said a minute, Ago florida And michigan have certainly

1424
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 1: proven to the world that they look like the best

1425
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: two teams right. NOW i don't know what to make Of.

1426
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 1: Arizona i'm not trying to throw any disrespective At, arizona but

1427
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,000
Speaker 1: it is also funny to me that if we end

1428
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 1: up getting a bunch of, ones the conversation is going to,

1429
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 1: be oh my, god chalk, chalk, chalk, chalk. CHALK i

1430
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 1: think that there's a fine line on. THIS i JUST

1431
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 1: i feel like there's a few teams that have. Separated

1432
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 1: but ALSO i always state could go on a, Run

1433
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 1: yukon could go on a. Run, like even if it

1434
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 1: ends up, chalk it doesn't mean that this season was.

1435
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: Uninspiring it doesn't mean that this season fell. FLAT i

1436
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 1: think it's okay to acknowledge that sometimes their national champion

1437
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 1: just happens to be a one. Seed, also, like it

1438
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that there's some category issue with college football

1439
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 1: college Basketball it just means that the best teams this

1440
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 1: year might ACTUALLY i don't, know win the.

1441
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 2: Title, well and that very much depends on how you

1442
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 2: VIEW i, mean are you going to Contextualized duke with

1443
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 2: the kind of things that we talked about to start the,

1444
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 2: show which is that they're dealing with, injury which is

1445
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 2: that they have not looked as, powerful as, overwhelming as.

1446
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 2: DOMINANT i, mean they've probably peaked when they Beat michigan In, WASHINGTON.

1447
01:06:57,240 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 2: Dc you would, agree, yes so they peak too? Early

1448
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 2: like is that a thing that you are you going

1449
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 2: to Give duke? Grace are people in a? Moment people

1450
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 2: are going to look at the number one overall seed

1451
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 2: in this tournament and give them a bit of a

1452
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 2: pass if they continue to labor with teams the way

1453
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 2: that they have so.

1454
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 3: FAR i don't know if we have that level of

1455
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 3: nuance in the.

1456
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 2: Dialogue around programs or if we're making you, know if

1457
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 2: we're going to make different arguments for a program Like

1458
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:32,040
Speaker 2: duke versus a program Like arizona that has a high

1459
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 2: level of competitiveness that is vying for number one. Seeds

1460
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 2: it feels like every, year regardless of who their, coaches

1461
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 2: do we treat them differently than we do a bigger

1462
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 2: brand in college, basketball even Though arizona's been on that

1463
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 2: pedestal and in this particular situation or moments like it

1464
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 2: many many times.

1465
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 1: Before don't we think the committee treated them, differently like

1466
01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 1: the committee told us coming. In in, fact the committee

1467
01:07:57,680 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 1: chair said after the broadcast that they gave them the

1468
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 1: number or one overall seed with the presumption that they

1469
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 1: would be healthy in, time WHICH i think is a

1470
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 1: dangerous presumption to, make, Right, like that's a dangerous presumption

1471
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 1: because you just never know how those things are going

1472
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:12,120
Speaker 1: to work. Out and SO i want to buy that

1473
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 1: the committee was telling us that a Healthy duke is

1474
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 1: national championship. Contender but right, Now duke just feels more

1475
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 1: like hang on for deal, life dear, life and avoid

1476
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:24,639
Speaker 1: the inevitable elimination that is at some point. Coming that's

1477
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 1: it's it's weird Because duke just doesn't look, right and you,

1478
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 1: Know yukon doesn't look, right and you know it doesn't

1479
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,679
Speaker 1: mean that on any given night some of these teams can't,

1480
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 1: win but they just don't look. Right so, yeah maybe you're.

1481
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 1: Right maybe the context AND i don't know what the

1482
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 1: context is on that LIKE i don't know how to

1483
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 1: put context into not looking right over the course of two,

1484
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:47,919
Speaker 1: days you, know it's Still. Duke it's still a wildly talented,

1485
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:50,800
Speaker 1: Team Like duke could come in and have just the most,

1486
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:54,320
Speaker 1: epic unbelievable round we've ever seen and At sweet sixteen

1487
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:57,719
Speaker 1: and nobody would be. Surprised so it's it's really it's, Interesting,

1488
01:08:57,760 --> 01:08:59,479
Speaker 1: buck BECAUSE i think that's what speaks to WHAT i

1489
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:02,760
Speaker 1: love about it this, Year like there's so Much we're

1490
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 1: this far into it And i'm still not really sure

1491
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 1: who's going to win it. ALL i think that's.

1492
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:11,080
Speaker 2: Beautiful, Yeah AND i think that fan bases are way

1493
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:16,559
Speaker 2: more harsh on their own programs than people nationally will,

1494
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 2: be BECAUSE i can look At duke as somebody who

1495
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:21,680
Speaker 2: is not A duke, fan and somebody just looking at

1496
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 2: all these tournament teams trying to figure, out all, right

1497
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 2: who's actually got a, case who is playing their best

1498
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:30,639
Speaker 2: basketball heading into this, thing and can they actually make

1499
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:33,479
Speaker 2: some noise in a meaningful. Way And i'm looking at

1500
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:35,960
Speaker 2: the number one seed in the bracket that they, DREW

1501
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 2: i think very.

1502
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 3: UNFAIRLY i don't think that.

1503
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:42,720
Speaker 2: They got any any kind of benefit from being the

1504
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:45,679
Speaker 2: best team in college basketball during the regular season based

1505
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 2: on who the ended up on their side of the.

1506
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 2: Field AND i can look at that and, say, well,

1507
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 2: yeah it makes sense all the sense in the world

1508
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 2: that have banged up duke team that's not playing their

1509
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:58,240
Speaker 2: best basketball and in a, really really loaded side of the,

1510
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 2: bracket they're probably not going to have. Chance And i'm

1511
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 2: looking At kentucky in a similar way Where i'm, saying, well,

1512
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 2: YEAH i don't believe in their coach and they've got

1513
01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:09,600
Speaker 2: a hugely talented, roster but it takes a combination of

1514
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:11,680
Speaker 2: both things to help you get over the. Top and

1515
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:15,800
Speaker 2: ALSO i, think just outright luck if we're being honest about.

1516
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:17,680
Speaker 2: It BUT i Know kentucky fans are not going to

1517
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 2: contextualize it that. Way they're going to look at the

1518
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 2: dollars and cents of what that roster cost, them look

1519
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:27,320
Speaker 2: at What oway is doing on a nightly, basis and,

1520
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:29,599
Speaker 2: say you mean to tell me that we can't be

1521
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 2: better than what were they a seven seed coming into the?

1522
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 2: Tournament you mean to tell me that we can't do

1523
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 2: anything in THE, sec anything of consequence in THE sec

1524
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 2: with that kind of a player on our, roster and

1525
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 2: That we're just going to barely survive and double overtime

1526
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 2: or excuse, me an overtime Against Santa clara because we.

1527
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:48,519
Speaker 3: Got bailed out by our best.

1528
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:51,360
Speaker 2: Player, No kentucky fans And duke fans are not going

1529
01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 2: to give their own rosters and their own teams this

1530
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 2: year the kind of grace THAT i think there's gonna

1531
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:59,640
Speaker 2: be some dialogue Unless i'm Unless i'm treating them with

1532
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:03,679
Speaker 2: kid and other people besides us nationally are being tougher

1533
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:06,639
Speaker 2: On duke And kentucky and programs of a similar merit
