1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Please you're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Radio.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 2: March is one of the best times of year for

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 2: all the different things that are happening in the sports world.

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 2: But there is nothing more enjoyable, more dramatic, more breathtaking

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 2: when it's on than the sport of college basketball. Welcome

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: in on this Saturday. It's bucking fits. But Steve Hartman

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: is good enough to fill in for Jason Fitz, who

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: has yet again abandoned his duties, his responsibilities. He's all

9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: flittering around the world doing indoor Football League game.

10
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: So I'm glad that I can count on somebody.

11
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 3: Well, Buck, you know I'm here for you, man, and

12
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 3: we've done shows before. You know, it's well documented how

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 3: much money you put in my pocket way back in

14
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 3: the day.

15
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 4: I don't want to rehash that, but I will say

16
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 4: this about you and I a Buck. So we have

17
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 4: the big.

18
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio tournament bracket challenge going on right now,

19
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 3: and last year I have the remarkable first day where

20
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: I went sixteen and oh okay, I've done brackets for

21
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 3: forty years. I'd never had a perfect first day. Unfortunately,

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 3: it went south for me after that. A couple of

23
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 3: years ago, I was right in the mix to the

24
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 3: very end. But this year has been a catastrophe. So

25
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 3: I was checking the standings today. I think there's thirty

26
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 3: nine of us, and I was like, I don't know,

27
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: like thirty first, and one of the names below me

28
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: one point behind me is Buck Rising. So you and

29
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 3: I have had a rough goal of it this year

30
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 3: as far as our tournament brackets are concerned. Of course,

31
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 3: my excuse is always this Buck. The more you know,

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 3: the less you know. The reason that I struggle and

33
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: have been so bad over the years as a prognosticator

34
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 3: is I know too much.

35
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 4: So that's the excuse. The more you know, the less

36
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 4: you know.

37
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: You saw about this eighth grade kid who has a

38
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: perfect women's bracketings and the eighth grade case's got the

39
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: only perfect bracket, like document a perfect bracket going into

40
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 3: the sweet sixteen or whatever, and they're like, how did

41
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 3: you know so much about women's basket goes? Not only

42
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: do I not know women's basketball, I don't know basketball period.

43
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 4: I cannot name you a.

44
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: Single basketball player. But he had a perfect bracket. So

45
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 3: that's my excuse. Bug, I don't know about you. I

46
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 3: don't know how you've done over the years, but you

47
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 3: and I have struggled in this year's tournament bracket challenge.

48
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna say it's because Buck and I know

49
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 3: more than anyone else period.

50
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: That's I mean, we're just clearly burdened with too much.

51
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 4: Knowledge, way too much.

52
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: Notice eighth grader, he's got an empty head. What does

53
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: he know? Clearly nothing?

54
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: So now's his rain man out here getting it done

55
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: with the women's bracket. No, I mean, I take a

56
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 2: beating in the bracket stuff every year. It makes me insane, Steve,

57
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 2: because college basketball, I'm an NFL reporter. I'm glad that

58
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: I'm not allowed to bet on the NFL because I

59
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: feel like, again to your point, I would act like

60
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 2: I know too much and then was my ass on

61
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: any given Sunday. But I cannot stand how badly I

62
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: do every year in the bracket challenges because this is

63
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: my favorite sport. I love it so much, and every

64
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: year I'm just sitting there staring at my bracket that's

65
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: just absolutely demolished by the end of it, being like.

66
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: What the hell is wrong with you?

67
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: I still have the championship game alive. Everything else is obliterate.

68
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: My last shot I had Arkansas getting into the final

69
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 3: four that didn't go well. I also had Houston. A

70
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: lot of people had Houston and they went down in

71
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: a tidal way. So yeah, I don't know how many

72
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: people have the Illinois Iowa matchup in the Elite eight.

73
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 3: I would imagine very few had that in their brackets.

74
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 3: But ironically, I still have my championship game in place.

75
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 3: I have Duke beaty Michigan in the championship game, so

76
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: that is my championship game was Duke Michigan. In fact,

77
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: I've been saying that pretty much all season long. I

78
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 3: just felt that Duke and Michigan were the two best

79
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: schools that I had seen all season long, So I

80
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: might get that. I think even if I get that right,

81
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 3: I still think I'm like.

82
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 4: In the bottom half.

83
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 3: I've been so bad in the first few rounds of

84
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: this year's brackets. So anyway, it's uh, but it's funny,

85
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 3: and like you say, Buck, it's for so many people

86
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 3: out there.

87
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 4: We know that.

88
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 3: Ninety nine point nine nine nine percent of the brackets

89
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: that are filled out are filled out with zero knowledge

90
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: of anything college basketball.

91
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 4: Like you, the ninety nine point ninety nine nine.

92
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: Percent of the people filling out ballots. Cannot name a

93
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 3: single college player in this tournament. They might know a

94
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 3: couple of the coaches, obviously, but they wouldn't know any players.

95
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 3: But that's why this sporting event just separates itself from

96
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 3: the rest of the You know, we we there are

97
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: more brackets filled out than bets placed on the super Bowl.

98
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,239
Speaker 3: Let's let's make that class and it's not even close.

99
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: There are more brackets filled out than there are bets

100
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: on the Super Bowl. And so whether you're a college

101
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 3: basketball fan or not, nothing compares to March Madness Special.

102
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 2: When we get a day like yesterday where I mean

103
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: all the games Michigan handled Alabama pretty soundly, and you know,

104
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: Natoates was up there at the postgame press conference, and

105
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: I'm a little biased. I think Natoats has a lot

106
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 2: of advantages, and so when he gets up there and

107
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 2: starts making excuses, I kind of, you know, it, kind

108
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: of give him a little bit of side eye. But

109
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: Duke winning by five over Saint John's just a great

110
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: game coming down to the wire. Michigan, of course rolls

111
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: against Alabama. You had Yukon knock Tom Izzo and Michigan

112
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: state out of the tournament, and Tennessee one of the

113
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 2: biggest surprises of this tournament.

114
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I do I work out of Nashville.

115
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: Steve, We obviously talk a lot of Tennessee balls on

116
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: the local show. Everybody in that state was fading Rick

117
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: Barnes and this particular team. This is by far and

118
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: away one of the more inconsistent basketball teams that he's

119
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: had since he's been on Rocky Top.

120
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: And yet here they are.

121
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: Again in the Elite Eight, where the program has only

122
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: made four Elite eight in its history, and three of

123
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: them with Rick Barnes.

124
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm done doubting the man well.

125
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 3: And again he's one of those guys. He has actually

126
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 3: won more games in the tournament than ain't coach ever

127
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: that has not actually won the tournament because of all

128
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: his but he's only had one Final four appearance that

129
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 3: was way back in three with Texas. But to go

130
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: to three consecutive Elite Eights, and as you mentioned, Tennessee

131
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 3: has never been to a Final four. I mean, let

132
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: me ask you that because you know it well, Buck.

133
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 3: I mean, Tennessee is a football school. I mean most

134
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: schools are football schools, right, I mean, with the exception

135
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: of North Carolina and Duke in Kansas, Kentucky. I dare

136
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: say my UCLA Bruins more of a basketball school than

137
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 3: a football school. But for most schools, you're a football school.

138
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 3: Tennessee has a proud judition in football. So how would

139
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: that register if Tennessee? And by the way, I'm giving

140
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 3: you a quick side story here. In two thousand and seven,

141
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Two thousand and eight, Florida Gators won their

142
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: second consecutive national championship in basketmam. I remember they went

143
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 3: back to back. They had the same five starters both years.

144
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 4: And I was.

145
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: There in eight.

146
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 3: It was in Atlanta, and so I'm walking out of

147
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 3: the arena after that championship game, got all these Gator fans.

148
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: None of them were talking about back to back basketball championships.

149
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 3: All they were excited about was Tim tebow Man. I said, no,

150
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: it was it was oh seven, the year they won

151
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 3: the first championship. Because Tebow was going to go into

152
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 3: his sophomore year. He'd been a you know, Chris Leak

153
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 3: in the quarterback situation of Florida that freshman year, and that's.

154
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 4: All they were talking about.

155
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: I was like, dude, you just won the national championship,

156
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 3: beating my bruins, by the way in that championship game,

157
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 3: and all you're freaking talking about, uh no, that was right.

158
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: Oh seven was the back to back And all you

159
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: guys are talking about is that Tim Tebow guy.

160
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 4: You got to be kidding me.

161
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 3: So how would this register at the University of Tennessee

162
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 3: if the Valls just get to the final four?

163
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: Oh?

164
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it's one of the most passionate fans bases

165
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: anywhere in the country. So even if it doesn't register

166
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: very high, like, we don't do a ton of college

167
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: basketball discussion until really we get.

168
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: To the tournament.

169
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: Even though Rick Barnes and Tennessee have been a consistent presence,

170
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: especially in the SEC where it's been loaded, you can

171
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 2: argue at any given year it's had some of the

172
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: best teams in college basketball heading in obviously Florida, who

173
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: got bounced earlier, the defending national champion. So Vols fans

174
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: would get up for a final four, there's no question.

175
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: But springball in a quarterback situation where Joey Aguilar doesn't

176
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: get his eligibility extended, and the trials and all these

177
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: different things that are being documented at great length in

178
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: the world of college sports right now. It still takes

179
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 2: up so much oxygen because that program in college football

180
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 2: is such a fishball, and frankly, Steve, I've experienced the

181
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 2: reverse of this. I'm in Indiana, alum. Is it the

182
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 2: national champion? Joe, I've never I've never been, Steve. I

183
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 2: was at that university for four seasons. I never saw

184
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: the inside of the football stadium. You don't go to

185
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: the football games at Indiana University, so all of a sudden,

186
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: you know, you go tailgate and then you go home

187
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: and you watch Notre Dame or the three thirty sec

188
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 2: kick like a normal human being.

189
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: Not Indiana football. It's a basketball school. It's you know,

190
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: at one point it was a blue blood.

191
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if we're still talking about ourselves that

192
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,599
Speaker 2: way anymore, but as soon as because it's been so

193
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: long in their their bread and butter, right, they haven't

194
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: done any winning of consequence since Tom Crane was there,

195
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: and even before that, it's just been a struggle for

196
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: that program that wants proud program to get up.

197
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: Off the mat.

198
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: They're so hungry for something, for a winner that when

199
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: football took the world by storm the way that it

200
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: has Frankly, these past two seasons you see one of

201
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 2: the most passionate fan responses I think anywhere, because it's

202
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: a huge fan base, a huge alumni base, and it

203
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: got woken up for the opportunity to watch this thing that.

204
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: None of us have ever experienced in our lives.

205
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: So should Tennessee get to a Final four, obviously a

206
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 2: championship would would take precedent here. They experienced something similar

207
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: in college baseball with Tony Vitello, who's now the manager

208
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: of the Giants out there in San Francisco, and it

209
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: was the same kind of response. But there's no question

210
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: that football will always be top of the pecking order,

211
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: no matter how good or bad it is in any

212
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 2: given year at an SEC school.

213
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: I would imagine as a student in Indiana if someone

214
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 3: had told you that in your lifetime the Indiana Hoosiers

215
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 3: will be the undisputed, undefeated national champions in football.

216
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 4: You're saying, in my lifetime, you mean I'm gonna live forever?

217
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 5: Wow?

218
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: Remember one a little all o Aqui, right, I have

219
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 3: Heisman trophy here?

220
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 4: You gonna get a Heisman. I'm so old buck.

221
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 3: I was actually my first year of following for my

222
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 3: dad went to USC and so when OJ came to USA,

223
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 3: I was nine years old nineteen sixty seven and they

224
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 3: played Indiana John Potts.

225
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 4: Who US in the Rose Bowl that year, and that

226
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 4: was it.

227
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 3: There was like a one year wonder, one year wonder

228
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,359
Speaker 3: team in Indiana.

229
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 4: They had an Eisenberger was one of their running backs.

230
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 4: I mean it was.

231
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was one of those you know, miracle teams

232
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 3: that came out of nowhere. And but yeah, I mean,

233
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 3: like I said, I if you want to believe your

234
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: school never has a chance to win a national championship

235
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 3: in one of the premier sports, Indiana football changed all

236
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: of that. Although I hear that Signette's getting a little

237
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 3: chippy these days. I've heard about that he's got some

238
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 3: big time transfers coming in and they're better not show

239
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 3: that man attitude.

240
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 4: I promise you that he'll put you in your place quick.

241
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: Oh much less gold cleats at practice?

242
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 4: That was yeah, that was not good.

243
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: Thing.

244
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: That got him a little got him a little hot

245
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 2: under the collar. The other day at a press conference,

246
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: I saw, so, yeah, he's definitely going to be if

247
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 2: he wants to be the main character in college football.

248
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: I think college football is better off for it with

249
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: a lot of different polarizing personalities. But as far as

250
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 2: personalities go, Steve, I'd be curious to get your thoughts

251
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: on what the future. We will talk later about the

252
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: Elite eight. I'm sure in some of the matchups, but

253
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 2: for some of the coaches who bow out in this round,

254
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: in the sweet sixteen, for Rick Patino, for Tom Izzo.

255
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 2: I know Izzo was asked yesterday about the idea of retiring.

256
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: He scoffed at it.

257
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 2: Patino put out a tweet today expressing his gratitude no

258
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 2: indication at seventy two or seventy three, I believe that

259
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: he would be in a place where he's not continuing

260
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 2: to do this versus somebody like Bill self, who at

261
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: least publicly it's the first time we've ever seen anything.

262
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'll be ready to go. I'm good to

263
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: go for next season.

264
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: All these different things currently he's fending off, in his

265
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: estimation or according to him, fake retirement rumors that are

266
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: going on in Lawrence, Kansas right now. There are a

267
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: lot of legendary coaches and a lot of interesting blue

268
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 2: blood college basketball programs that have a lot of questions

269
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: to answer in the aftermath of this particular tournament.

270
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 3: You know, it's amazing John Wooden retired from UCLA because

271
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 3: it was the mandatory retirement.

272
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 4: Age was sixty five. I mean, you know, I mean

273
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 4: that's I mean, it's unbelievable. When you and when they.

274
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 3: Manager just won ten championships in twelve years in LA,

275
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 3: he goes, well, it has some mandatory retirement to get retirement.

276
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 4: We don't have that anymore.

277
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 3: Why would any of these remember Jim Beaheim just hanging

278
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 3: on and hanging on and hanging on. I mean he

279
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 3: started when he was a first year head coach at Syracuse.

280
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: Gerald Ford was president, okay, and the guy was still

281
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 3: coaching a couple of years ago. So now that you know,

282
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 3: you know, Skrzyzewsky got out with a final four appearance

283
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 3: of Roy Williams was basically eased out after a first

284
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 3: round loss at North Carolina. I you know, I love

285
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 3: the Patino thing. I even though I had Duke winning

286
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 3: my brackets, it doesn't really matter. I'm not gonna win

287
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 3: the brackets anyway.

288
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 6: I hate Duke.

289
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 3: I was always gonna root against Duke, but anyway, I

290
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 3: would love to see Patina win another national championship. I

291
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 3: mean so in the face of the NCAA. I mean,

292
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 3: this is the only guy ever to get a basketball

293
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 3: championship stripped. You know, it's vacated that twenty thirteen Louisville team.

294
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 3: He essentially got expelled from the sport. Yeah, and was

295
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 3: able to crawl back in memory, went overseas professionally for

296
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 3: a little bit to let the you know, dust settle.

297
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 4: Then he gets the Iona job.

298
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 3: You're like Rick Patino's at Iona, and then he gets

299
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 3: the Saint John's and he's starting to put the pieces together.

300
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 3: You know, last year they had a good team. This

301
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 3: year they get to the sweet sixteen. Obviously they could

302
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 3: have won that game. If a kid man that airball?

303
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 4: Wow is that?

304
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 3: I mean, you're down three and he just airballed it.

305
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 3: I mean, just could not hit a shot down the stretch.

306
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 3: But he would be their worst nightmare if they were

307
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 3: if they were handing another NCAA championship trophy to Rick Patino.

308
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 4: And I love it.

309
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 3: I love a guy like that that says, screw you,

310
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do what I want to do. So, by

311
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 3: the way, the Hawkeyes are off to a hot start

312
00:14:58,520 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: right now.

313
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,239
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, it would be similar to Brady and Belichick

314
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: winning the championship after the whole deflate gate situation. Oh absolutely,

315
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: landing up there with rogerdal grinning and taking the trophy

316
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: from him.

317
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 4: Oh yeah.

318
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 3: So, by the way, this McCollum guy, the coach at Iowa,

319
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 3: this guy's an amazing story, is he not. I mean,

320
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 3: guy went four Division two NC championships. He's one of

321
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 3: those guys, you know, I actually a little bit like Signetti.

322
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 3: Guy's been around for a while at the lower ranks

323
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 3: and then you know, finally gets an opportunity to graduate

324
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 3: into you know, the upper level, and then immediately shows

325
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 3: like why wasn't this guy head coach at the Division

326
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 3: one level for a long time?

327
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 4: So last year, who said Drake got into the term.

328
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 3: Then this year he goes to Iowa and they're off

329
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 3: to a hot start in this Big ten match up

330
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:51,560

363
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: On this Fox Sports Saturday, Bucking Fits with Steve Hartman

364
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 2: filling in for Jason fitz Fitz. He is on assignment

365
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: for the Indoor Football League. Steve, there's no way to

366
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: dive gracefully into delicate subject matter, especially when you're talking

367
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: about a figure like Tiger Woods, who has had some

368
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: situations like this arise in the last couple of years.

369
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 2: He was arrested for driving under the influence after he

370
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 2: had another car crash. He had one in twenty twenty one.

371
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 2: This one Friday, March twenty seventh. He was arrested in

372
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 2: Martin County, where neither he nor the other driver that

373
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 2: was involved in a two car crash were injured, but

374
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: they did book Tiger Woods took him to Mary or

375
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 2: excuse me, Martin County Jail late Friday night. He has

376
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: since been released, and this crash took place in Jupiter, Florida,

377
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 2: obviously where he has a home. The last, as I mentioned,

378
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 2: a serious rollover crash, because he did flip his car

379
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 2: in this one as well, took place in twenty twenty one.

380
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: He obviously had several surgeries to repair under win a

381
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 2: very rigorous rehabilitation and recovery process, but got a duy

382
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 2: charge yesterday's facing charges for property damage and refusal to

383
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 2: submit to a lawful test after he was breathalyzed and

384
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 2: blew zeros across the board, but would not undergo a

385
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: blood test or a urine test, which of course leads

386
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 2: to the immediate arrest. So it's just a sad situation

387
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: around Tiger. They were talking about the incident on the

388
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 2: NBC broadcast television coverage of the PGA Tours Texas Children's

389
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 2: Houston Open today and while talking about this and Steve,

390
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 2: we're showing incorrect images from the last crash, which I think,

391
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: in and of itself is telling for what the Tiger

392
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 2: Woods story has become. I just asked for your reaction

393
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 2: to the latest piece of this very very sad saga.

394
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 4: Well, I have covered golf way back in the day.

395
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 3: So in the late nineties early two thousands, when I

396
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 3: was starting in LATV, I covered several golf tournaments that

397
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 3: Tiger was part of. And this is I remember he

398
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 3: was down in San Diego, he had only won the

399
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 3: one major, he'd won the Masters in ninety seven, and

400
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 3: then remember he was like redoing his game, and I

401
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 3: had a chance to finally do an interview. And this

402
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 3: is early ninety nine, and of course, you know, within

403
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 3: a couple of years all hell breaks through and the

404
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 3: guy who's rewriting the record books. But yeah, he was

405
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: not the most cordial individual as a young guy, say

406
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 3: the least.

407
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 4: I think it changed over time.

408
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 3: I was on the air here at Fox Sports Radio

409
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 3: when he finished out that Masters Championship in twenty nineteen.

410
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 3: I got emotional, I really did. It's an incredible comeback story.

411
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 3: I remember I was tossing to the update literally as

412
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 3: he was hugging his mom. I got a little choked up.

413
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 3: Buck just got a little choked up. And it was

414
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 3: an incredible story, and he had seemed to evolve as

415
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 3: an individual. But since then, hey, Ed's been one nightmare

416
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 3: after another. I mean, the most obvious question is, first

417
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: of all, I don't know by you, Buck, but when

418
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 3: you are mentally impaired like you, the reason that you

419
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 3: would drink something or smoke something or you know ingest

420
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 3: something is to feel different.

421
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 4: That's why you do it, which is fine.

422
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 3: But now when you're driving and the idea that this

423
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,959
Speaker 3: guy continues to get behind the wheel when he is

424
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 3: mentally impaired, whether it's pain.

425
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 4: Pillars or whatever it is.

426
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 3: Obviously it's not alcohol, but you know, I mean again

427
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter you're driving under the influence.

428
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 4: And why wasn't he going to submit to kuy of

429
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 4: drug tests? What are we hiding here?

430
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're taking some form of medication. He

431
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 3: just had his seventh back surgery. Can you imagine that?

432
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 3: Seven back surgeries? And so this whole idea that he

433
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 3: was going to come back and play in the Masters

434
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 3: in a couple of weeks that didn't make any sense

435
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 3: to me at all.

436
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 4: I was like, he's not ready.

437
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 3: To play competitive golf, because it's not just swinging a

438
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 3: golf club, it's walking that course Augusta National. For all

439
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 3: the golf friends that I've had that've had the good

440
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 3: fortune of being out there, we'll tell you it is

441
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 3: the hardest walking golf.

442
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 4: It is a brutal walk at Augusta National. So obviously

443
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 4: I feel for him.

444
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 3: I'm glad nobody got hurt. That's the fortunate thing. Not

445
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 3: only he, but he could hurt somebody else. But at

446
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 3: some point here he can't make any more excuses for him.

447
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 3: Buck I mean, come on, you're fifty years old. You're

448
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 3: not like some kid. If you are, you know, if

449
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 3: you are taking medication and you're not thinking clearly, don't

450
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 3: get behind the wheel of a car or a vehicle.

451
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 4: Period.

452
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 2: Well, Steve and I don't want to sound cold here,

453
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 2: but I don't feel for him, you know.

454
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 1: Because because of this, like he is.

455
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 2: I'm a child of the nineties. Okay, I'm born in

456
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 2: ninety three, so the rise of Tiger Woods is basically

457
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 2: my entire youth sports experience, along with some other figures

458
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: in sports, of course, but.

459
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: None bigger than Tiger Woods.

460
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 2: Right, this guy is a hero to many, many generations

461
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 2: of sports fans, but in particular if you grew up

462
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 2: watching him on a regular basis, as he was starting

463
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 2: to become this just you know, godlike figure in his sport,

464
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 2: and not just in his sport but internationally, and he

465
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 2: still is doing these things that are incredibly reckless and

466
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: not just harmful to him or to whomever might be

467
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 2: on the road.

468
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: When he is making these decisions.

469
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 2: But Ian and I are our producer, we're talking about

470
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 2: this during the commercial break.

471
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: His son's in high school.

472
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 2: Now you're kids are now at an age where this

473
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 2: is very where they can be not just imprinted by it,

474
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 2: but impacted by it. It registered in a completely different

475
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 2: way from you know, the infidelity scandal and even the

476
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 2: last wreck in twenty twenty one.

477
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 4: Well, he almost lost his life.

478
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: I mean just unbelievable.

479
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,959
Speaker 3: Think honestly, if you were in that kind of an

480
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 3: accent where he almost lost his life, almost lost his

481
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 3: leg for sure, and you would think, Okay, I will

482
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 3: never do that again. Yeah, there's just no way I

483
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 3: will ever do that again. Whether he fell asleep at

484
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 3: the wheel, whatever it was that led to that accident,

485
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,719
Speaker 3: you literally got a second lease on life. You easily

486
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 3: could have been killed in that accident. Everyone that view

487
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 3: that accident said it was a miracle he was not killed.

488
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 3: So you would think you would learn from that. He's

489
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 3: fifty years old. I mean, look, I've learned a few things.

490
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 3: I'm well past fifty, so I've learned a few things

491
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 3: buck over the years that you know, live and learn

492
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 3: and you know, don't be stupid. I mean, there's no

493
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 3: other term. He's just being a dumb ass right now,

494
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 3: and there's just no excuse for it. I mean, you know,

495
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 3: he does a lot of positive things with charities and

496
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 3: all these other things that he.

497
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 4: Gets involved with.

498
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 3: But you can't be stupid about your own mortality when

499
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 3: you've had a brush with death in the past.

500
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 4: And it just it's unreal.

501
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 3: The way the police officers describe the scene that he

502
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 3: was speeding trying to pass somebody.

503
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: What are you doing?

504
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 4: So, I just there are no excuses. I'm with you.

505
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 3: There's just no sympathy, no excuses for what just transpired.

506
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 3: The only good thing that comes out of this is

507
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 3: that he did not hurt somebody.

508
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, truly, thank God. We'll circle back to the Tiger

509
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: Woods story here in just a little bit. I want

510
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 2: to talk about another story that's kind of taken up

511
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 2: way too much oxygen in the world of sports with

512
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 2: Steve here in just a second. But first, Martin White

513
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 2: is gonna get us caught up on what's happening.

514
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 3: Hold on, Martin, nowre you going to tell Buck where

515
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 3: you're standing right now and the bracket challenge standings?

516
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 6: I mean, why don't you do it, Steve? Because this

517
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 6: is okay.

518
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 3: I go to say this again, I think, but there's

519
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 3: like thirty nine of us and we're in the thirties

520
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 3: bucking I right now Martin's fourth fourth.

521
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: Okay, I see it, Martin.

522
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 9: And you know, I was thinking earlier when you guys

523
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 9: were talking about, you know, the lack of knowledge is

524
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 9: the benefit, right, you guys know too much.

525
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: All you look.

526
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's our excuse. That's kind of what I

527
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 4: do think.

528
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 9: So because when I look at the people ahead of

529
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 9: me on this list, and yeah, of course the rest

530
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 9: of you, you know, miles beneath me. Uh, how did

531
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 9: everybody seemingly forget that Michigan was the best team in

532
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 9: college basketball all year?

533
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 4: I'm the only team. I'm the only person with.

534
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 6: A bracket in the top four that has Michigan winning

535
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 6: the whole thing.

536
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 2: I Michigan is who I picked to win the title, too,

537
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 2: but I was just taking a beating everywhere else.

538
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I have Duke beating Michigan the championship now,

539
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 3: and Michigan is and they really haven't played that great

540
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 3: so far in the tournam Like, there's more game there

541
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 3: to be at.

542
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 9: I agree, But you know, when you're you score one

543
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 9: hundred points in the first or two hundred points in

544
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 9: the first weekend, and then each game you win by

545
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 9: a margin of at least eleven. It's it's you know what,

546
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 9: it's a good thing. We're not getting greater on style

547
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 9: points here, thank goodness.

548
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know what, in the tournaments survive in advance.

549
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 3: There are no style points in the NCATE tournament.

550
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 9: Michigan Basketball's a little bit more than surviving right now.

551
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 9: They're molly wopping the competition. Although Arizona has looked good

552
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 9: right now games being played eight thirty left in the

553
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,119

557
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,879

581
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,640

584
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 9: after he picked up his sixteenth technical foul. There will

585
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 9: be no, no, no trying to get this one overturns.

586
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,280

Speaker 1: Back to you, guys, he's Steve Hartman on Buck Rising.

599
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 2: You're hanging out here with us on a Fox Sports Saturday,

600
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 2: And if you have been paying any attention at all

601
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 2: to non NCAA March Madness coverage, you know that the

602
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 2: name Ty Simpson and the name Dan Orlovski have been

603
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 2: in a lot of people's mouths this week. Dan Steve

604
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 2: went on ESPN's morning program Get up and offered the

605
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 2: opinion that not a lot of people have had in

606
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 2: this draft cycle, which that he believes, as a former

607
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 2: NFL quarterback himself, that the Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson is

608
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 2: the best prospect quarterback prospect in this draft. Of course,

609
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 2: as we talked about earlier, f Ananda Mendoza, the Heisman

610
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: Trophy winner out of Indiana, national champion expected to be

611
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 2: the number one overall pick in this year's draft to

612
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Raiders. So I wonder where you fall

613
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 2: on this conversation. I cover the NFL. I'm not necessarily

614
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 2: somebody who grinds tape in the draft process, so I'm

615
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 2: going to defer to smarter people than me about the

616
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 2: analysis of the these guys before they land in the league.

617
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: But this just felt And I like Dan, I think

618
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 2: he does great job, a great job as far as

619
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 2: the analysis goes, But this to me just felt like

620
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: something that was so manufactured out of thin air. I

621
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 2: don't think Dan did it on purpose, but it took

622
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 2: the sports world by storm this week.

623
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 4: He did it on purpose.

624
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 3: Look, calling Dan Orlosky a former NFL quarterbacks like Jesse

625
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 3: Palmer was an NFL quarterback, I mean Orlovsky was two

626
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 3: and ten in his entire NFL career as a starting

627
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 3: quarterback Okay, and ten total for his NFL career.

628
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 4: He only started twelve games in his career.

629
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 3: So Orlovsky at most was a fringe guy as a

630
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 3: quarterback and played his last game well over.

631
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 6: A decade ago.

632
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 3: Orlovsky showed his character at the Sports Emmys when he

633
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 3: was inexplicably nominated and then made a snit about the

634
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 3: fact that he lost out to Charles Barkley.

635
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 4: I believe for the Sports.

636
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 3: Emmy for you know, analyst, and so Orlovsky is one

637
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 3: of those guys. He you know, look at any any

638
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 3: one of us that gets in this industry, whether it's radio,

639
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 3: television or whatever, we definitely have a look at me

640
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 3: or listen to me attitude.

641
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 4: Otherwise we wouldn't be on the air. Okay, I get that.

642
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 3: But Orlosky is one of those guys that feels like,

643
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 3: how can I get clicks?

644
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 4: And since no one, no one.

645
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 3: Agrees with his assessment of ty Simpson being a better

646
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 3: prospect than Mendoza, nobody, it makes him stand out and

647
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 3: it creates something. Look, you see these television shows and

648
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 3: they try to create topics, and they'll go droning on

649
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 3: and on about a subject matter that's not a subject matter.

650
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: You know.

651
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 3: The only way you can get a true subject matter

652
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 3: in a discussion is if the audience, the public, really

653
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 3: is divided on that subject. If everybody's on one side

654
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 3: of a subject, then there is no discussion. You can't

655
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 3: create a debate when there is no debate. And really

656
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: there is no debate when it comes to who is

657
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 3: the best quarterback prospect this year, it's Mendoza. He is

658
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 3: number one, period exclamation point. It is not Ty Simpson.

659
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 3: So this was totally manufactured Barrier Alavsky based on nothing zero.

660
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 3: I will say this in his defense though, going into

661
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, when arguments were being made against him

662
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 3: that Drake May was all that when he exhibited none

663
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 3: of that against superior competition in the postseason as opposed

664
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 3: to what he did in the regular season, he was

665
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 3: on the right side of that one, you know, dismissing

666
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,719
Speaker 3: Drake May as a guy that really was manufactured by

667
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 3: an incredibly weak schedule during the regular season that got

668
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 3: in the postseason. But on this this was come on,

669
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, he could just throw anything out there,

670
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 3: but nobody. Nobody believes that ty Simpson is a better

671
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 3: prospect than Mendoza, and he's not.

672
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: Well, Ian, we have some sound of Dan Orlovsky because

673
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 2: there have been a lot of follow up appearances, including

674
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 2: a scorching one on the Pat McAfee Show where McAfee

675
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 2: and that crew just took Dan for a ride. Apparently

676
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: there's been a little bit of a harsh feelings to

677
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 2: that effect. But Ian, if I could hear from Dan

678
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 2: Orlovsky about him reaching out to NFL personnel evaluators about

679
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 2: this particular evaluation, I can tell you.

680
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 5: And I'm not going to tell you who, but I

681
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 5: probably texted twelve to fifteen general manager decision making coaches

682
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 5: in the NFL the very simple text of Ty Simpson

683
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 5: is QB one in this class or the best quarterback

684
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 5: in this class. And two people got back to me

685
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 5: with a disagreement, okay, and.

686
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 4: The rest didn't respond.

687
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 6: Quarterbacks.

688
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that is an appearance from Dan Rolovsky was

689
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 2: not a good appearance for Dan.

690
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,439
Speaker 3: Well, the fifteen I mean, come on, somewhere between one

691
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 3: and thirty two, I can't remember, but I reached out.

692
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just I mean, the problem.

693
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 2: Yourself Dan Orlovsky on the local show in Nashville this week,

694
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 2: because obviously we're talking or not Dani Rolovsky, Daniel Jeremiah

695
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 2: on the local show.

696
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 4: Now that's a more credible source.

697
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,479
Speaker 2: Well, and we asked Daniel because this was the day

698
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 2: after all of the Orlovsky stuff, and he goes, I

699
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 2: haven't heard that opinion from anybody anybody, And I you know,

700
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: I'm again, I don't. I don't want to judge a

701
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 2: situation with Dan where I don't have the full context,

702
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 2: because I'm sure Dan did reach out to people. He's

703
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 2: in the NFL, he is on national television every day

704
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 2: at this point, Like, I'm sure he is reaching out.

705
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 3: Well, I tell you what if he didn't, Because you

706
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 3: know these you gotta be careful when you do that.

707
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 3: When you start bringing you can just say, hey, look,

708
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 3: i've seen film. I've seen both. You know, I know

709
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 3: a little bit about the quarterback position. I've actually sat

710
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 3: on the sidelines watching good quarterbacks during my NFL career,

711
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 3: and I don't know.

712
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 4: In my eye, Simpson looks like a better quarterback. You

713
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 4: can get away with that. Well, when you start.

714
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 3: Bringing in like well i's twelve to fifteen, do you

715
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 3: want to give us.

716
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 4: A name and one name, anyone.

717
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: The idea of the reporting without the actual experience.

718
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 3: And you talk about DJ Daniel Jeremiah, that that's a

719
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 3: guy that worked in personnel in the NFL. That's a

720
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 3: guy that actually worked, you know, in the front office

721
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 3: and does have connections with general managers and personnel directors

722
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 3: and everyone else against the NFL.

723
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 4: So he has that level of credibility.

724
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 3: Orlovsky is a media personality, except that don't don't try

725
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 3: to be something you're not, like some kind of insider,

726
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 3: like you know, you know, I know we got insiders

727
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 3: here at the four letter, but you know I talked

728
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 3: to people, come on, stop because you're gonna only dig

729
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 3: yourself a hole. And you know it's again, every team

730
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 3: does a draft board, right, there's gonna be thirty two

731
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 3: draft boards, and they're all secret. He would love to

732
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,959
Speaker 3: look back. And I remember this with Mac Jones coming

733
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 3: out with Justin Fields. I believe was when that's the

734
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 3: same year, and I was thinking, like people were saying, Mac,

735
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 3: I go, I would love to see how many boards

736
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 3: have Mac.

737
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 4: Jones above Justin Fields.

738
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 3: I said that going into the draft, right, and of course,

739
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 3: as it turned out Mac Jones you know goes below,

740
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 3: but I was I would love to see if there's

741
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 3: a single draft board, one out of thirty two that

742
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 3: would have Ty Simpson on their draft board ahead of Mendoza.

743
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 4: My answers they wouldn't. There's no way, They're just there's not.

744
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 3: So I mean, it's it's unfortunately for Dan because I

745
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 3: think he really got himself in a pickle by saying

746
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 3: something to be provocative and then you know it's brought

747
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 3: on all these shows. I mean you could hear the

748
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 3: reaction to mcavee and his gang, like, dude, you know,

749
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,240
Speaker 3: you know this is this is not stop stuff.

00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 2: for NBA MVP. We're gonna talk about whether that player

759
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 2: can also be the face of the league as Lebron

760
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 2: James continues to age. Coming up next on Fox Sports Radio.

761
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 2: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. So Victor wembin

762
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 2: Yama is one of the most electrifying players in the NBA.

763
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 2: And last night, as we hang out here on a

764
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Saturday with you, Steve Hartman in for Jason Fitz,

765
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 2: of which we are very grateful for Steve's presence here,

766
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 2: I'm buck rising with you.

767
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: As usual, Steve.

768
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 2: The Bucks got eliminated from the playoffs last night in

769
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 2: a blowout loss to the Spurs, and wembin Yama has

770
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 2: been just awesome this year. He's been trading places with

771
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 2: Sga and occasionally Jokic as far as who is favored,

772
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 2: according to the sportsbooks to be this year's NBA MVP.

773
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 2: But I'm looking at wembin Yama in a much larger sense,

774
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 2: and not just because he's one of the most physically

775
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 2: imposing players on a court. We got into a conversation

776
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago about Anthony Edwards and his

777
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 2: lack of interest in being the face of the NBA

778
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 2: as Lebron, you know, even though he continues to do

779
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 2: ridiculous things at age forty one, but as Lebron starts

780
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 2: to take a bit of a back seat, Anthony Edwards

781
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 2: is doing nationally televised commercials with a former president of

782
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 2: the United States. And here's wembin Yama, who you coming

783
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 2: out just I was concerned generally about somebody that size

784
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 2: and how his body would hold up. Thus far, all

785
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 2: he's done is do everything physically, mentally, emotionally, handled it

786
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 2: as professionally as humanly possible and continues to be one

787
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 2: of the most prolific players in the sport. Is there

788
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 2: a world in which Victor wembin Yama could be the

789
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 2: next face of the NBA?

790
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 3: The problem for Wembenyama be in the face of the NBA.

791
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,720
Speaker 3: And by the way, obviously his skill set is amazing,

792
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 3: and the Spurs have done a great job because he's

793
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 3: averaging less than thirty minutes a game. So he's putting

794
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,919
Speaker 3: up these numbers, averaging less than thirty minutes of a game.

795
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 3: So I'm with you, you know, physically, can this guy

796
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 3: hold up? And they're doing a good job of just

797
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 3: keeping him on the court. But people, how many people

798
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 3: identify with someone that's seven foot five? Not me, nobody,

799
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 3: And this has been a problem. I go go back

800
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 3: to the World Chamberlain days. He was not you know,

801
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 3: no one reflects he was. It wasn't that Will wasn't dominated.

802
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 4: Was like, nobody can relate to the guy.

803
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 3: And so this is why, you know, when you look

804
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 3: at Magic and you look at Bird, and you look

805
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 3: at Jordan, and you look at you know, Kobe, and

806
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 3: maybe to some degree it has been you know, working

807
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 3: against Lebron over the years because he's so physically dominant.

808
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 3: But now you've got a physical freak doing this, and

809
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 3: so that's that would be my only question. Plus he's French,

810
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 3: so you know, and I think we we prefer our

811
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,280
Speaker 3: American heroes here in the United States.

812
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 2: Just really get to some tournament action coming up next

813
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 2: here on Fox Sports Radio.

814
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

815
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 2: There are a few more compelling weekends anywhere in sports

816
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:47,280
Speaker 2: than the second weekend of the men's March Madness Tournament.

817
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 2: And we are getting off to a great start right

818
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 2: now with the Elite eight games. As Martin mentioned, we've

819
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 2: got Iowa leading Illinois just barely, and purdueing Arizona will

820
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 2: square off tonight before the other two games take place tomorrow,

821
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 2: and we are going to talk about which of these

822
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 2: teams has the most improbable run or could have the

823
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 2: most improbable run to a final four. He's Steve Hartman

824
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 2: hanging out for Jason Fits on this Fox Sports Saturday.

825
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 2: I'm Buck rising here with you as per usual, Steve.

826
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 2: You were talking about Iowa and their coachmccollum earlier in

827
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 2: the first hour. The job that they have done, importing

828
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 2: a lot of that roster from a group of five programs,

829
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 2: him coming from Drake after winning Division two titles and

830
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 2: previous stops as well. They're given me Iowa Illinois is

831
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 2: more a football matchup than a basketball matchup. But we've

832
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 2: seen a lot of fun moments from both of these

833
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 2: programs so far.

834
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 3: Well, let's first say this, Buck, there is no more

835
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 3: agonizing loss than the Elite eight. You are so invested

836
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 3: in this tournament, right, You've already had one week behind you.

837
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 4: You've won three games.

838
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 3: You know, for that rare occurrence of a first four team,

839
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 3: you own four games to get to this point because

840
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 3: once you get to the final four. I don't know

841
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 3: if you've been to final fours, Buck, I've been to

842
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 3: a lot of final fours over the years, the atmosphere

843
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 3: is electric. In fact, for many many years, I actually preferred,

844
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 3: and because I used to do this every single year,

845
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 3: be at the Final four, be at the Super Bowl.

846
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 4: The whole atmosphere is completely different. At the Final four.

847
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 3: Again, you had the National Association Basketball coaches the coincide.

848
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 4: So it just I feel short, you know, obviously.

849
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 3: Being around the Final four. Everyone's very tall obviously there,

850
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 3: but it's it's getting to the final four. You know,

851
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,919
Speaker 3: it's weird because normally it's getting to the championship game, right.

852
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 3: But in college basketball, if you are a coach that

853
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 3: gets that Final four in your resume, boom, You've arrived.

854
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 3: You're forever known as guy that led a team to

855
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 3: the Final four. So there's so much pressure in these

856
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 3: Elite eight games because for the loser, it is the

857
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 3: ultimate agonizing loss. Now, as far as I was concerned,

858
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 3: obviously they're playing with house money.

859
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 4: This team was a five hundred team and Big Ten play.

860
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 3: They were behind my UCLA Bruins of the Big Ten

861
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 3: this year, and yet here they have gone through this

862
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 3: tournament with a coach. And I heard Charles Barkley talking

863
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 3: about this buck where he said, any coach that understands

864
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 3: how to navigate through a tournament. And this guy won

865
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,839
Speaker 3: four championships at the Division two level. There's a big

866
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 3: advantage there. You already understand how to get through a tournament.

867
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 4: And so they've done.

868
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 3: He's done a master of job McCollum in his first

869
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 3: year at Iowa, after just one year Drake two years ago.

870
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 4: This guy's in the Division two level.

871
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 3: And so Illinois up against the Illinois a better team,

872
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 3: and right now it's a two point game, and they're

873
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 3: about to get to the half right now, and I

874
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 3: still expect.

875
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 4: Illinois to win this game.

876
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 3: But if I were word to get to the final four,

877
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 3: there's no ques question. That is your super long shot

878
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 3: as a nine seed. Very rare to see a team

879
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 3: like that could actually make it to the final four.

880
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 2: Well, and I'd be curious to get your perspective on

881
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,919
Speaker 2: because this is we've gone three years since we've had

882
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 2: a Cinderella proper, since FAU was making their run the

883
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 2: way that they did, and one of the more unlikely

884
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 2: stories that we've had in the tournament. And I was

885
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 2: kind of thinking about this the other day, especially looking

886
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 2: at Iowa's roster.

887
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: How many of these guys you know, it might as

888
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: well be Drake.

889
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 2: Drake doesn't get an honorary you know, Elite eight appearance

890
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 2: or anything like that for basically staffing the Iowa team

891
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 2: and coaching staff at this point. But because of NIL

892
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 2: and the transfer portal, you've seen a lot of these

893
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 2: programs that would typically be able to make runs with

894
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 2: their own talent, you see their talent get poached by

895
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 2: bigger programs with deeper pockets. You've got the likes of

896
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 2: Texas as an eleven seed, Iowa's a nine seed, and

897
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 2: Iowa hasn't had.

898
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: Huge college basketball success.

899
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 2: They have had they have had success in their program's history,

900
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 2: but certainly not to this extent in quite some time.

901
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 2: And it's not like Cinderella's or you know, the one

902
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 2: shining moments for these group of five or smaller schools

903
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 2: is completely going away because of the randomness and the

904
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 2: chaos of the tournament. There will always be that chance,

905
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 2: but it does feel like we've at least lessened the

906
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 2: opportunity for one of these programs, these Saint Pete's of

907
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 2: the world, these faus, these Dunk City, Florida, Gulf Coast

908
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 2: a handful of years ago to really be able to

909
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 2: compete beyond the first weekend. I wonder your opinion on that.

910
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 3: I get that, and I know the stats say that

911
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 3: over the last couple of years. Well, you know, if

912
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 3: we're still talking about that ten years from now, then

913
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 3: obviously we've turned the page on true Cinderella's.

914
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 4: I don't buy it. I mean, and again the difference here.

915
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 4: One of the.

916
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 3: Reasons some of those you know, lower seeded teams were

917
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 3: able to navigate to the final four over the years

918
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 3: was experience, right, I mean, you know, you got teams

919
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 3: that stay together instead of you know, teams that are

920
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 3: trying to, you know, find some cohesiveness when you've got

921
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 3: a bunch of one and done guys. Not always an

922
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 3: easy situation. So you know it's I don't buy it.

923
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 3: I still think there are gonna be plenty of Cinderella's.

924
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 3: We just saw it in college football. I mean you,

925
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 3: I mean, you lose sight of your your hoosiers. You know,

926
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,320
Speaker 3: the idea that Indiana in this state. You know, we

927
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 3: all said. When I say we, I mean I was

928
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,280
Speaker 3: one of those proponents when they went to a fourteen playoff.

929
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 3: I said, people say, well, more teams will get a chance.

930
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 3: I go you're only gonna make the rich richer. Alabama, Clempson,

931
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 3: Ohio State. They were in the playoff every year, every year,

932
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 3: and so now that you expand the playoffs. I'm but

933
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 3: Indiana proved. What did Indiana do? What did Signetty do?

934
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 3: He rated his James Madison roster. That was a vet

935
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,399
Speaker 3: in team Indiana had over the last couple of years

936
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,879
Speaker 3: in college football. It'll be interesting now because finally he's

937
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 3: got a major turnover in talent. Obviously he's been able

938
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 3: to attract some of the transfers, but you still got

939
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 3: to put all the pieces together. But this is what

940
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 3: Dave McCollums did at Iowa. Like you said, he brings

941
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 3: that Drake team in. Now they're wearing Iowhake Eye jerseys.

942
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,280
Speaker 3: So he has a veteran team. They know the system,

943
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 3: they know the coach. That's gonna be the hard part

944
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 3: of it because I go back to when Lane Kiffen

945
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 3: was first at Ole Miss. I think it was like

946
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,919
Speaker 3: three or four years ago, when yeah, they really blew

947
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 3: the doors off as far as the transfer portal was concerned.

948
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 3: He had like twenty five players come in and they say,

949
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 3: what do you think he goes hell have I know.

950
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 3: I got twenty five players from twenty five different programs.

951
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 4: I don't know if they're gonna fit. How is it?

952
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 4: You know? So you know that to me, is.

953
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 3: Is going to be the big question. I like UCLA

954
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 3: this year. They have the number one point guard in

955
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,240
Speaker 3: the transfer portal. Donovan Dent put up these huge numbers

956
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 3: in New Mexico, and for the most part he was

957
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 3: overwhelmed in the Big Ten.

958
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 4: He just was not the same player. So you don't know.

959
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 3: So, yeah, I still think there's a chance in a

960
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 3: one and done situation for a team to luck out.

961
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 3: And look Iowa right now as a nine seen. I

962
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 3: know they're in the Big ten, But you know, I

963
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 3: don't anybody out there got Iowa on the final four.

964
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 4: Anybody in your brackets. If you're saying yes, that's like

965
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 4: Martin might, Yeah.

966
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 1: You're lying.

967
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,919
Speaker 3: There's no way you have Iowa and your final four.

968
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 3: But right now they got a four point Lee was

969
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 3: second to go in the first half. So yeah, I

970
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 3: think Cinderella could still be alive in the future.

971
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with you. It was just

972
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 2: something that crossed my mind, especially heading into the second weekend.

973
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 2: Where people were trying to, you know, sell me on

974
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:50,240
Speaker 2: Texas as a Cinderella, understanding that they're a lower seated program.

975
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,240
Speaker 2: And I you know, I was at the SEC tournament

976
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,479
Speaker 2: in Nashville, as we tend to have it almost every

977
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 2: year in Nashville.

978
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: I watched that Texas team in person. They look pretty lifeless.

979
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 2: It was another hitling team that felt like it was

980
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 2: just going to squeak in bud Buck.

981
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 3: They have a coach, Sean Miller, that knows how to

982
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 3: navigate the tournament. I mean, he has four Elite eights

983
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 3: in his coaching career, four of them. So that's a

984
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 3: guy again that had a proven track record in how

985
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 3: to navigate the tournament. And that's a big reason why Texas,

986
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 3: which was deserving of their first four status, got to

987
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 3: the Sweet sixteen because they had a coach and knew

988
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 3: how to coach in the tournament.

989
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 2: Of course, Sean Miller formerly at Arizona, who will play

990
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 2: Perdue a one versus A two seed tonight, and then

991
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 2: of course we have the rest of the Elite eight

992
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 2: tomorrow with Tennessee and Michigan six versus one, and Yukon

993
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 2: and Duke squaring off. This Duke team is fascinating to me, Steve,

994
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 2: for a number of reasons, and I know you brought

995
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 2: up earlier that you are inclined to root against Duke.

996
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 1: I would imagine that most people.

997
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 2: In the country share a similar sentiment, but on this

998
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 2: particular Duke team, understanding the history of the program, the

999
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 2: players that they've had in years past, certainly, Coach k

1000
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 2: great but polarizing, with plenty of people having strong opinions

1001
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:11,399
Speaker 2: about Skrzyzewski during his time there, I find it very

1002
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 2: difficult to somebody who does not root for Duke and

1003
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 2: is not necessarily interested in seeing the Blue Devils have

1004
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 2: any more success than they've already been graced with throughout

1005
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 2: the course of their history. I find myself looking at

1006
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,799
Speaker 2: this Duke team and finding a hard time. I'm having

1007
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 2: a hard time finding a reason to hate them, and

1008
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 2: I wonder if you have a better reason to than

1009
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 2: I do, because there's not a lot about John Shire

1010
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 2: or the Boozer Brothers or this particular team that feels

1011
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 2: as polarizing as programs.

1012
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,280
Speaker 1: That the Blue Devils have had in years past.

1013
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 3: Well, I had a partner here when I was doing

1014
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 3: a Monday through Friday show here at Fox Sports Radio.

1015
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,839
Speaker 3: That was a dear friend of Mike Skrzyzewski, so much

1016
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 3: so that he would literally call him and he would

1017
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 3: come on with the on the air with us immediately.

1018
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 4: All the time, Coach k would be on.

1019
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:05,879
Speaker 3: Such a pompous I mean, I mean, oh god, I

1020
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 3: just could not stand this man.

1021
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 4: I really got him good. You'll like this one.

1022
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 3: So he had passed Bob Knight as the winnings Division

1023
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 3: one coach of all time, so I couldn't resist this question.

1024
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 3: I said, hey, coach, now that you passed Bob Knight,

1025
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 3: you think you're gonna catch Pat Summit. So technically, you

1026
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 3: know and c aa at that time, Pat Summitt was

1027
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 3: the winning his coach before Arim had passed her. And

1028
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,359
Speaker 3: and he there was like this dramatic pause and he goes,

1029
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 3: probably not.

1030
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 4: And I'm like, you such.

1031
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:47,720
Speaker 3: It so so I mean, if you at any converstion,

1032
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 3: I know you enjoyed that one too.

1033
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1034
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 3: My partner was not happy with that question. It's like, really, dude,

1035
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,240
Speaker 3: you're gonna ask him that? I go, I just couldn't.

1036
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. Look, no, no, there's no

1037
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 3: reason to hate on on Duke. Other than if you

1038
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 3: just hated Duke, you're not going to change your mind.

1039
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 4: I mean, this Caleb Foster story is an amazing story.

1040
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 3: But I mean, the kid was fractured, what was that

1041
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 3: a fractured foot three weeks ago. When he's back out

1042
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 3: in the court yesterday knocking down some shots in the

1043
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 3: second half. I mean, I don't have anything against the

1044
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 3: Boozer brothers. You know, I don't think that they are

1045
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 3: great players. I mean the big man, obviously is you know,

1046
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:26,959
Speaker 3: Cameron's the guy that's getting all the hype and everything else.

1047
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 4: He's okay. I mean, I don't see him as any guy.

1048
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a big threat moving on to the

1049
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 3: NBA anymore than his father was. But no, there's no

1050
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,399
Speaker 3: reason to root against him other than that four letter

1051
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 3: word Duke.

1052
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 4: That's it.

1053
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you could tell the emotion in John Shire's

1054
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 2: voice with Caleb Foster in particular, talking about you know,

1055
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 2: he had no business playing tonight with Tracy Wolson during

1056
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 2: that interview yesterday after they were able to advance, and

1057
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 2: I it's just it's impossible for me to view them

1058
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 2: as likable or you know, a good feel good story

1059
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 2: in the in the midst of this particular NCAA tournament.

1060
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 2: But hell, I found myself rooting for Rick Patino last night.

1061
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,800
Speaker 3: Well, I was definitely rooting for Rick Patino for reasons

1062
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 3: I gave you early. I would just love him to

1063
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 3: stick it in the face of the NCAA and get

1064
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 3: back to a final four.

1065
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 4: I would love to see that from Patinos.

1066
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 3: So no, I look, I was definitely rooting for Saint

1067
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,280
Speaker 3: John's and I yes, I picked Duke in my brackets.

1068
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 3: You know, brackets are to be one and I do

1069
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 3: believe that fully healthy. I wasn't sure about the Cala

1070
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 3: Fosters situation, but now looks pretty good for them. I

1071
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 3: still think on paper, Duke should win this national Championship vote.

1072
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 3: We thought that last year and Cooper Flag choked on

1073
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,280
Speaker 3: that final shot, did he not? In the semi finals?

1074
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 3: I would agree, Yeah, that was a choke job and

1075
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 3: so and I was very happy about that. I'm very

1076
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 3: happy about that to see that happened.

1077
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 2: To Rick touch Bot.

1078
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 3: So every time the Duke is lost, I I really

1079
00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 3: love it.

1080
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 4: So but yeah, I mean it's a little bit different

1081
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 4: with Shire.

1082
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 3: Other than he's guilty by association, he's a he's a

1083
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:05,439
Speaker 3: coach k guy.

1084
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 4: So I mean, you know, that's that's the problem there.

1085
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 2: From your perspective, and given that you and you know,

1086
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 2: I don't mean to age you, Steve, but you got

1087
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 2: a little more history to you, yeah, and a background

1088
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 2: on this, and especially giving your experience covering the tournament,

1089
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,919
Speaker 2: eliteates and final fours and things that they like. As

1090
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:24,399
Speaker 2: you look at the landscape of college basketball right now,

1091
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,399
Speaker 2: Patino still in it, Izzo still in it. We'll see

1092
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 2: what happens with Bill self, as we talked about earlier

1093
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 2: in North Carolina, making a change, offering Hubert Davis the

1094
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 2: opportunity to.

1095
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:37,800
Speaker 1: Resign and then having.

1096
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 2: To basically, you know, drag him out of the office

1097
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:43,280
Speaker 2: kicking and screaming when he didn't want to resign his post.

1098
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 2: You've got Danny Hurley and Shire squaring off tomorrow in

1099
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 2: an Elite eight, and Dusty May has done an excellent

1100
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 2: job with Michigan. Who do you believe is the best

1101
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 2: coach at college basketball right now?

1102
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:57,240
Speaker 3: Well, that's a great question. Look at you mentioned Dusty May. Obviously,

1103
00:54:57,480 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 3: he you know, took that Florida Atlantic team out in

1104
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 3: nowhere and gets to the final four. They lose on

1105
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 3: that buzzer beater by San Diego State, and then he

1106
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 3: goes to Michigan and now in his second year here

1107
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 3: they are knocking on the door of a Final four.

1108
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 3: So I would say Dusty May, but you know, the

1109
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 3: coaching is so different now, that's the whole thing.

1110
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: Buck.

1111
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 3: It used to be you would bring players into your

1112
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 3: program and develop them in your program. Now it's just

1113
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 3: a revolving door. And so I don't really know if

1114
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 3: coaches should get as much credit or as much blame

1115
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 3: as they did in the past if a team is

1116
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:36,399
Speaker 3: not living up to expectations. That is the hard part

1117
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 3: of this, and this is why a lot of old

1118
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,240
Speaker 3: school coaches just have thrown up their hands and said enough.

1119
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 1: Now.

1120
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 3: It's a little bit different in basketball because some of

1121
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 3: these veteran coaches, like a Patino like it is.

1122
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 4: So they're hanging around because they know one player can

1123
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 4: make the.

1124
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 3: Difference, one maker, one player can absolutely make that difference.

1125
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 3: And it could be a transfer player, you know, as

1126
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 3: again a Fernanda Mendoza was able to do it Indiana football,

1127
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 3: where you bring in a guy that no one had

1128
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 3: heard of at Berkeley and he shows up and he

1129
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 3: has a super year, Heisman Trophy, won a national championship,

1130
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:16,320
Speaker 3: So it's it's a little more difficult to gauge who

1131
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 3: is the most effective coach ultimately. I mean last year

1132
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 3: Golden was golden, right, Florida wins the national championship and

1133
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 3: then they go belly up this year?

1134
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 4: Was he a one year? Wonder?

1135
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 3: Is that the last we're going to hear from this guy?

1136
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 3: By the way, that I have a quick question for

1137
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 3: you that North Carolina job was we're waiting to see.

1138
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,359
Speaker 3: I know they're waiting for the tournament to end as

1139
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 3: Dess settle because they're throwing all these names. Billy Donovan

1140
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 3: has done nothing in the NBA. How is Billy Donovan

1141
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 3: still the coach of the Bulls? I mean seriously, I

1142
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 3: mean he goes okase he's handed a good team to

1143
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 3: get to the conference finals its first year.

1144
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:50,760
Speaker 4: He's never done anything since.

1145
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 3: He's missed the playoffs more years than he's made the playoffs.

1146
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,360
Speaker 3: But if you were Billy Donovan, you're already in the

1147
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame. So it's not like they're gonna pull

1148
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 3: you out of the Hall of Fame. You ditch the

1149
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 3: NBA if you had a chance to take the job

1150
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 3: at North Carolina, Oh my.

1151
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 2: God, I would be out of there so fast because Chicago,

1152
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 2: like I'm that job obviously had a level of prestige

1153
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 2: to it. Yeah, for a number of years. But it's

1154
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 2: been a long time, basically my entire lifetime, will you know,

1155
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 2: outside of outside of Derrick Rose and those moments against

1156
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 2: Lebron James in the postseason and things like that, Like,

1157
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 2: it's been a long time since the Bulls have mattered

1158
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 2: in a in a serious way. If you have the

1159
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 2: opportunity to take that North Carolina job, if they even

1160
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 2: pose or show the slightest level of interest, you mean

1161
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 2: to tell me that they're not going to be more

1162
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 2: interested in Billy Donovan than you know, some of this

1163
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 2: nonsense that's being floated out there on the on the

1164
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 2: Internet and in.

1165
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 1: Sports media about like Kenny Smith.

1166
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 2: With all due respect to Kenny Smith, Kenny Smith is

1167
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,919
Speaker 2: not equipped nor qualified to be the next head coach

1168
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 2: of the North Carolina tar Heels. He'd be my first call,

1169
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 2: and if I'm being completely honest with you, Steve, my

1170
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 2: second call might be TJ. Gootzelberger at Iowa State, because

1171
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 2: that he has done a remarkable job with that program.

1172
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 2: Beyond that, I don't really know how many other places

1173
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,439
Speaker 2: they would look to go, because I don't think that's

1174
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 2: a place where you can come in with any kind

1175
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 2: of a untested or unproven commodity at the highest level

1176
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 2: of the sport. Right that fan base is not going

1177
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 2: to handle that well, much like Kentucky when they had to,

1178
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:19,439
Speaker 2: you know, essentially settle for Mark Pope.

1179
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 4: Well exactly.

1180
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:23,439
Speaker 3: And well, I remember back in the day Coach cal

1181
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 3: when he went to Kentucky and had a chance to

1182
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 3: interview him right after that first season when he had

1183
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 3: Boogie Cousins and John Wall and he had taken over program.

1184
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 3: Didn't you make the tournament the year before it got

1185
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 3: to the elite a Bob Huggins and his West Virginia

1186
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 3: team upset him in the Elite eight, And I asked

1187
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 3: Coach Cal, I said, is the Kentucky job the toughest job.

1188
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 4: In the country? Goes, let me share a quick story.

1189
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 3: Goes a few weeks after the tournament to dinner and

1190
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 3: some guy comes up. He was very nice, he goes.

1191
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 3: You know, he wasn't being aggressive or anything. He just

1192
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 3: wanted to stop by and say hello. So, you know,

1193
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 3: I engage a little bit, and then the guy ends

1194
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 3: the conversation. I say, he coach, you know, good luck

1195
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 3: next year to make up for this year. And he's

1196
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 3: looking at this guy like, excuse me. I took over

1197
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 3: a Kentucky team that completely missed the tournament.

1198
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 4: We get to the Elite eight, and this guy was like.

1199
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's that's not going to cut it,

1200
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 3: you know, and if you look at North Carolina's that's

1201
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 3: what you're facing. Look, Billy Donovan's last year at Florida

1202
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 3: was the twenty fourteen twenty fifteen season. College basketball has

1203
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 3: changed dramatically since then, so.

1204
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 4: You know, you talk about fish out of water.

1205
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 3: He may go back to the college game if he

1206
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 3: were to agree to take the North Carolina job, And like, where.

1207
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 4: Am I like this?

1208
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 3: This is ridiculous. I mean, it still comes down to

1209
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:48,479
Speaker 3: getting players Like North Carolina lost their best player, right,

1210
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 3: I mean, and they still didn't give you were Davis

1211
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 3: any kudos for that because obviously the biggest first round

1212
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 3: collapse in the history of the.

1213
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 4: Nca Tournament did him in.

1214
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 3: So I don't know that that is a very tricky

1215
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 3: job at North Carolina because the expectations are simply this

1216
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 3: win the national championship or you fail. And the question

1217
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 3: is should North Carolina be still held to that standard

1218
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 3: in light of what we have seen all these changes

1219
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 3: in college basketball.

1220
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 2: Well, and it's a great point about Billy Donovan and

1221
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 2: how far he is removed, because if you're that athletic department,

1222
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 2: and I know we have to go to break here,

1223
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 2: but you're that athletic department, you just hired a name

1224
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 2: to coach your football program, and that fell flat on

1225
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 2: its face and was very derisive among people who had

1226
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 2: to say in that decision, right with factions basically for

1227
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 2: and against Bill Belichick. If you take a big swing,

1228
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 2: another big swing on a name that isn't currently prepared

1229
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 2: for the climate in college athletics, you do yourself so

1230
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 2: much more harm yep than good. Speaking of doing harm,

1231
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 2: Tiger Woods has been the story outside of March Madness.

1232
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 2: We'll talk about whether golf is finally golf fans are

1233
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 2: finally prepared to move on from Tiger as opposed to

1234
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 2: trying to keep this hope alive for a return that

1235
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 2: seems less and less likely with each passing day. He's

1236
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 2: Steve Hartman, I'm Buck Rising, stick around on Fox Sports Radio.

1237
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 2: So Tiger Woods is dealing with some additional legal issues

1238
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 2: after he got into a wreck on Friday afternoon, was

1239
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 2: taken into custody in Florida, spent the night in there

1240
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 2: in there being detained, and then was ultimately released after

1241
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 2: refusing to submit to a urine test. Was charged with

1242
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 2: DUI driving while intoxicated, damage to property, and refusal to

1243
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 2: submit to that urine test despite blowing double zeros or

1244
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 2: triple zeros on a breathalyzer exam. Welcome back on this

1245
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,439
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Saturday. He's Steve Hartman kind enough to fill

1246
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 2: in make us Smarter as a show on Buck Rising

1247
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 2: here with you and now Steve, we have a situation.

1248
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 2: So President Trump was talking about Tiger Woods at a

1249
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 2: press conference recently among other things that were being addressed,

1250
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 2: and made it known to the world. Trump putting on

1251
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 2: his insider hat like Orlowski, saying that Tiger Woods would

1252
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 2: not play in the Masters this year, which okay, obviously

1253
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 2: after all the situations that he's been in. But I

1254
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 2: wonder as somebody who has covered the sport who understands

1255
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 2: the figure that Tiger has, understands the place that he

1256
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 2: still holds in the golf fans mind, and frankly just

1257
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 2: in sports fans mind. When are we going to give

1258
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 2: up on this idea that Tiger Woods is coming back

1259
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 2: to bring a different level of intrigue and interest to

1260
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 2: this sport that we've had since Tiger most captivated us

1261
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 2: in that twenty nineteen Masters.

1262
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 4: Well, and again you're on the money here.

1263
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 3: I'm going to give you his Masters finishes since twenty fourteen. Okay,

1264
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 3: this is Tiger Woods at the Masters over the last

1265
01:02:56,160 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 3: twelve years, DNP tied for seventeenth, DMP, DMP tied for

1266
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 3: thirty second, first, tied for thirty eight, DMP forty seventh

1267
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 3: Withdrew sixtieth and last of those that made the cut

1268
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four and last year DMP. So his

1269
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 3: relevance at the Masters as a contender is zero and

1270
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 3: people know this, but they seem to be hanging on

1271
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 3: to the idea that there is another comeback that one

1272
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 3: Masters win. And by the way, I give credit to

1273
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 3: Tiger after winning that Masters. I don't know if you

1274
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 3: watched the post tournament press conference, but as everyone was

1275
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,439
Speaker 3: just tripping over themselves, well, you're back on track three more.

1276
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 4: You catch Jack four more, you're gonna pass Jack.

1277
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 3: And he literally looked at everybody says, you realize how

1278
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 3: many things had to go right for me to win today?

1279
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 4: Do you have any idea?

1280
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 3: He was being as honest as he could, and you

1281
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 3: realize how how many things had to happen for me

1282
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 3: to win the Masters.

1283
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 4: There's no comeback here.

1284
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 3: That year he missed the cut of the PGA with

1285
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 3: tied for twenty first of the open cut. I mean

1286
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 3: he hasn't been in He hasn't had even close to

1287
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 3: a top twenty in a major, any major since winning

1288
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 3: that Master, So there is no comeback. I agree with

1289
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 3: President Trump before he can't walk. It's not about swinging

1290
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 3: a golf club, it's walking the course. He had his

1291
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 3: seventh back surgery in October. He's a year removed from

1292
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 3: a blown achilles. He cannot walk Augusta for eighteen holes.

1293
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 4: No way, no chance, no how So, if you want

1294
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 4: to live.

1295
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 3: In this delusionville that somehow not only has Tiger got

1296
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 3: another comeback at him, but he's gonna he win the Masters.

1297
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're just you're forget it. You have no sense

1298
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 4: of reality.

1299
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 3: So I never for a second believed that Tiger Woods

1300
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 3: is going to play in the Masters this year. I

1301
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 3: just don't He's not going to embarrass himself by the

1302
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 3: inability to actually walk the course.

1303
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 1: And doing this for a living.

1304
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 2: Steve, you have a perspective with I think most of

1305
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 2: us have a perspective of realism and the toll, the

1306
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 2: physical toll that we're talking about on the athlete, especially

1307
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 2: an athlete like Tiger who's been through so much. But

1308
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 2: the way that the population at large, I would say,

1309
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 2: I would still think it's a majority that's just trying

1310
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 2: to manifest this situation around Tiger. I can't recall an

1311
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 2: athlete where we've had a harder time letting go.

1312
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 3: Well, Buck is is that no sport has been not

1313
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 3: even the NBA with Michael Jordan, and they will never

1314
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 3: approach the kind of numbers that Michael Jordan put up

1315
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 3: in those NBA finals when he was on full display.

1316
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 3: They haven't come close to those numbers and never will again.

1317
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 3: But Tiger's at a completely different level. No single individual

1318
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:15,200
Speaker 3: has inhaled a sport like Tiger did Golf. No, I

1319
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:18,959
Speaker 3: dare say people listening right now, especially if your generation, Buck,

1320
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 3: the only reason you watched was Tiger? Why would I

1321
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 3: watch golf? Give me one reason why I'm gonna watch

1322
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 3: guys hit a golf ball? What is what would draw

1323
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 3: me to watch golf for three four hours knocking a

1324
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:43,160
Speaker 3: ball around? Are you kidding me? But this guy is different.

1325
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 3: He was so far above everyone else in terms of

1326
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 3: his interests. He looked different, he played different, he had everything.

1327
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 3: And then the soap opera began, and then the amazing

1328
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 3: comeback to win that Masters in twenty nineteen. Phenomenal story.

1329
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 3: But it's over. It is over, over, over. But for

1330
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 3: I'd tell you it's tough for golf. What are you

1331
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 3: gonna do for golf? I mean you try to introduce

1332
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 3: us to new players. I mean Scotty Scheffler is l

1333
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 3: He plays like he's in his late thirties. Yeah, guy's

1334
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 3: like twenty seven. Does that guy looks like he's twenty seven?

1335
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 3: He has zero magnetism zero. Nobody's drawn. Well, I gotta

1336
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 3: see what Scotty Scheffler does. Even if the numbers say, wow,

1337
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 3: this guy is one of the great golfers of all time.

1338
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 3: Nobody who cares about Scotty Scheffler unless you're a diehard

1339
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 3: golf fan.

1340
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:34,320
Speaker 4: So that's the problem.

1341
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 3: So for those people that have hung on to Tiger

1342
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 3: for their only reason to watch any golf at all,

1343
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 3: the idea that he may never actually play a competitive

1344
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 3: round of game in any major, I mean, my guess

1345
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 3: is down the road, but it'll be nothing more than ceremonial,

1346
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 3: which it's fine. Arnold Palmer did this for years. People

1347
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,439
Speaker 3: loved Arnold Palmer back in the day. He would show

1348
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 3: up the Masters, play a couple of rounds, miss the cut.

1349
01:07:58,720 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 4: Nobody cared.

1350
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,080
Speaker 3: They just wanted to see him out there, played in

1351
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:04,920
Speaker 3: fifty straight Masters. I don't know if Tiger wants to

1352
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 3: do that. Nicholas really didn't want to do that. He

1353
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 3: didn't want to just sort of hang on for ceremonial purposes.

1354
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 3: I don't think Tiger's that way.

1355
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 4: We'll see.

1356
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 3: Maybe you can get healthy enough to eventually show up

1357
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 3: on the Champions Tour, play a little bit. That would

1358
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 3: be a huge boost of the Champions Tour, but no,

1359
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 3: the idea of him playing in any kind of actual

1360
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 3: major golf championship and being anything more than just you know,

1361
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:31,760
Speaker 3: a sideshow freak. That's where he is right now.

1362
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:36,559
Speaker 2: If he plays, we've got tournament action going on right now.

1363
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 2: So it's important that Martin Weiss get us caught up

1364
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:40,599
Speaker 2: on what's happening in this lad date.

1365
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had a little bit of a delay in

1366
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 4: the first half.

1367
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 9: Here as a scoreboard, and the horn went bad about

1368
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:50,600
Speaker 9: seven minutes left in the first half. But now sixteen

1369
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:52,760
Speaker 9: minutes left in the second half, Illinois just hit a

1370
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 9: three to take the lead thirty six to thirty five

1371
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,600
Speaker 9: over Iowa in an all Big ten Elite eight. The

1372
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,479
Speaker 9: winner of this obviously advanced to the Final four. Then

1373
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 9: it starts with fifteen points under Stryakovich has ten.

1374
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 6: On the women's.

1375
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:10,200
Speaker 9: Side of college basketball, we have seen the Sweet sixteen

1376
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 9: three teams punts their ticket to the Elite Eight. That's

1377
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:16,679
Speaker 9: one seed Texas, two seed Michigan, and another one seed

1378
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 9: South Carolina. Right now, three seed TCU is playing ten

1379
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:23,800
Speaker 9: seed Uva. The Cavaliers with a thirteenth to ten lead

1380
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:25,840
Speaker 9: over the horn Frogs for four minutes left in the

1381
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 9: first quarter. In the NBA, Luca at Doncas will face

1382
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 9: a one game suspension after his sixteenth technical foul. He

1383
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 9: actually got his sixteenth last week, but that one was

1384
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:37,960
Speaker 9: rescinded this one. I don't even think they're going to

1385
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 9: challenge it seven minutes left in the fourth quarter of

1386
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 9: the Pistons lead the Timberwolves ninety to seventy one. Neither

1387
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 9: Kate Cunningham or Anthony Edwards playing in this game. Rudy

1388
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 9: Gobert with a fourteen point twelve rebound double double. Tobias

1389
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:52,479
Speaker 9: Harris has fifteen five point twenty two left in the third,

1390
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:53,280
Speaker 9: the Hornets lead to.

1391
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 6: Seventy six ers eighty eight to eighty one.

1392
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:59,640
Speaker 9: Brandon Miller has twenty one points in Major League Baseball

1393
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,840
Speaker 9: and Drew Vaughn, Milwaukee Brewers first baseman's diagnosed with a

1394
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 9: broken bone and the left wrist.

1395
01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 6: He's gonna be out for four to six weeks.

1396
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 9: Jacob de Grom was scratched from his start today due

1397
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:11,720
Speaker 9: to next stiffness. Middle of the eleventh inning, the Red

1398
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:14,679
Speaker 9: Sox and the Reds tied five apiece. Bottom of the second,

1399
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:17,880
Speaker 9: Angels Astro scoreless. Top of the first. The Brewers have

1400
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 9: a three to nothing lead over the White Sox. Bottom

1401
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 9: of the second inning, Royals and Braves still zero. Same

1402
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:26,639
Speaker 9: for the Yankees and the Giants. We saw the Cardinals

1403
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,599
Speaker 9: beat the Rays and Extra six to five, Cubs ten

1404
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 9: to two over the Nationals Blue Jays. That was a

1405
01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 9: back and forth game between them and the A's eighty

1406
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 9: I'm sorry, eight to seven. The margin of Toronto getting

1407
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:41,679
Speaker 9: the win an eleven innings and ten innings. The Rangers

1408
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 9: beat the Phillies five to four. Elsewhere, and uh, you

1409
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:46,599
Speaker 9: know what.

1410
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 10: And then eight p fifty Eastern in the West Region,

1411
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:54,920
Speaker 10: one seed Arizona and two seed per Due will tip off,

1412
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,840
Speaker 10: and from what I can tell, Steve, the winner of

1413
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 10: that game could determine the winnerver the Fox Sports Radio

1414
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:02,439
Speaker 10: Bracket Challenge, and it could be me.

1415
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:05,720
Speaker 3: Well, I mean again, if are you guaranteed of a win,

1416
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 3: if Michigan wins at all?

1417
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 6: I did not look to see who's behind me at

1418
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 6: you know.

1419
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 4: I mean, if they have Michigan and they're behind you,

1420
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:14,720
Speaker 4: they're not going to catch you. So that's it.

1421
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 6: Well again, I didn't do all the machinations.

1422
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 9: I just looked ahead of me and right now, and

1423
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 9: I'm then tied for fourth. Nobody has Michigan in the

1424
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:26,799
Speaker 9: National Championship game. Most of them have Duke. I have Florida,

1425
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:30,760
Speaker 9: so if Duke loses then that'll cancel out obviously. But

1426
01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:33,479
Speaker 9: I do have Michigan. My national champion still alive. Nobody

1427
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 9: else is above me still except for Duke.

1428
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 4: No, good luck with that, Thanks Pal. There we go

1429
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:41,400
Speaker 4: back to you guys. I mean, I wish I was.

1430
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:45,519
Speaker 3: Fullyeve me, but if I was anywhere near the top,

1431
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:47,240
Speaker 3: you would and you would never get enough of me.

1432
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:50,160
Speaker 9: I was here for the infamous first Weekend sixteen and

1433
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 9: oh then.

1434
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 4: I was just I was crowing. I couldn't believe it.

1435
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:55,639
Speaker 4: A pull of perfect sixteen and oh last year first,

1436
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 4: you know, I.

1437
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:59,040
Speaker 1: Think that's Steve that nobody does that.

1438
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 4: I feel like that he does that. I'd say that.

1439
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 3: I think the second place was at thirteen. You know,

1440
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 3: there were some thirteen in threes. I went sixteen and.

1441
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 4: No, I did. I did it for one day.

1442
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:10,680
Speaker 6: It was great.

1443
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:11,439
Speaker 1: That was it.

1444
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 2: Well, certainly that's not the case for us right now,

1445
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:17,880
Speaker 2: but we do appreciate everybody that participated in the Fox

1446
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 2: Sports Radio Bracket Challenge. Steve and I are fighting for

1447
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:23,720
Speaker 2: our lives down here in the thirties. But you know,

1448
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 2: Martin get a little chesty, getting a old chesty at

1449
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 2: the top right now.

1450
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 1: So we'll see, we'll see how it fairs.

1451
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:34,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's it's one of it's one of the

1452
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:38,559
Speaker 2: hallmarks you said for people who work in our industry

1453
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:39,759
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles.

1454
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:42,120
Speaker 4: Hello, there you go. We get a little intro there.

1455
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:47,200
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, we uh well.

1456
01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 1: I thought I hit something for a second. I am.

1457
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:54,800
Speaker 2: I always enjoy participating in the bracket, and it's one

1458
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 2: of those things where, even even if I take it

1459
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,800
Speaker 2: on the chin every year, the way that I do,

1460
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 2: I just think it's a fun exercise and I like

1461
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:05,960
Speaker 2: that Fox Sports Radio gives us an opportunity to participate

1462
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:08,519
Speaker 2: with the audience and you know, have a little fun

1463
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:09,320
Speaker 2: with it ourselves.

1464
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 4: That's all we can do.

1465
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:12,160
Speaker 3: When we're losers this year, that's a you know, buck,

1466
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:15,799
Speaker 3: that's okay, that's okay. Winners in life, losers in the bracket.

1467
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 3: You know, there's worse things in that, no question.

1468
01:13:19,439 --> 01:13:21,599
Speaker 2: So we are going to We're not gonna do winners

1469
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:23,600
Speaker 2: and losers. Coming up next, we're going to play the

1470
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:26,639
Speaker 2: game that we always play when Jason fitz is here.

1471
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:29,879
Speaker 2: But we're going to get a Steve edition of would

1472

1479
01:13:57,160 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 2: you fill in, but I really enjoyed doing shows with you, buddy.

1480
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:03,840
Speaker 2: There's a wealth of knowledge and perspective that we do

1481
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 2: not often get around. It's just Ian Barry and me

1482
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:09,439
Speaker 2: and Fitzie bouncing off one another and hoping that the

1483
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 2: other one doesn't screw this up.

1484
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:12,200
Speaker 11: Yell, it's nice to have an adult in the room.

1485
01:14:12,280 --> 01:14:16,960
Speaker 3: Well, it's not about Look, I the last time Iowa

1486
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 3: was in the Final four was nineteen eighty. I was

1487
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:23,439
Speaker 3: at that Final four as sports editor of the UCLA

1488
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 3: Daily Brown Loud also was their coach.

1489
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:29,120
Speaker 4: So yeah, I've been around a while, Buck. So it's

1490
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:29,599
Speaker 4: just a.

1491
01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 3: Different perspective, not necessarily a better perspective, but it is

1492
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:34,840
Speaker 3: a different perspective.

1493
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:39,479
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, Well let's get some different perspectives from both

1494
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:41,880
Speaker 2: of us, because it is time for our favorite game

1495
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 2: around here.

1496
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:45,360
Speaker 1: Let's play a little bit of would you rather please?

1497
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 7: It's easy, guys, don't think too hard on would you

1498
01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 7: rather bucket, touch's no good or fix it?

1499
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:56,080
Speaker 1: I like that?

1500
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:57,400
Speaker 4: All right? Yeah?

1501
01:14:57,479 --> 01:15:00,320
Speaker 11: Pretty straightforward here, Steve. Get a bunch of would you

1502
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:03,000
Speaker 11: rather questions here? Absolutely nothing to do with sports, but

1503
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:05,479
Speaker 11: I just want to get your thoughts here, So go

1504
01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:06,360
Speaker 11: ahead and spin the wheel.

1505
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:18,040
Speaker 4: Okay, first question, would you rather production? Would you rather

1506
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:19,080
Speaker 4: nominal production?

1507
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:19,320
Speaker 5: Here?

1508
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:22,800
Speaker 11: David Attenborough narrate your life but you can never turn

1509
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:26,200
Speaker 11: him off at any point ever. Or have Morgan Freeman

1510
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:28,759
Speaker 11: talk over you literally every time you try to speak.

1511
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:30,759
Speaker 4: Wow, those are good choices there.

1512
01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 3: I would say, I'm going to go with the Morgan

1513
01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:35,880
Speaker 3: Freeman talking over me. I mean, look, I have a

1514
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:38,280
Speaker 3: lot of respect for Attinburrow. That would be phenomenal, to

1515
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 3: say the least. But there's something about Morgan Freeman. I

1516
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 3: like his perspective on a lot of things in this world.

1517
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 3: So yeah, if he were talking over me, I go

1518
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 3: with Morgan Freeman.

1519
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:48,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1520
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:49,559
Speaker 1: Oh no.

1521
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:51,840
Speaker 2: But see, I'm you know, I'm a bit of a

1522
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 2: head case on a number of fronts, Steve.

1523
01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:55,880
Speaker 1: So I feel like I should have.

1524
01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:57,640
Speaker 2: A narrator to my life, like I kind of you know,

1525
01:15:57,680 --> 01:15:59,840
Speaker 2: I go through situations in life like what would this

1526
01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:03,240
Speaker 2: be if it was a real life, action, moving type

1527
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:07,880
Speaker 2: of situation. I have Attenborough narrate moment by moment, seen

1528
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:11,120
Speaker 2: by scene in a very uninteresting life. Otherwise it would

1529
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:12,559
Speaker 2: make everything a lot more interesting.

1530
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 3: I feel, Yeah, I give it another thirty five years, bucking.

1531
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:20,759
Speaker 3: Then you get to my yeah, yeah, the interesting in life?

1532
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:22,760
Speaker 3: You never know, man, That's all I can tell you.

1533
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:24,719
Speaker 3: And you never know how life's gonna spend.

1534
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:34,640
Speaker 4: Okay, speaker introspective. I want to hear this all right,

1535
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:35,200
Speaker 4: good one here.

1536
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 11: Would you rather be incapable of using chairs so you

1537
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:41,080
Speaker 11: always have to either stand or sit on the ground

1538
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:43,960
Speaker 11: or only be able to only be able to enter

1539
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,040
Speaker 11: and exit buildings through windows.

1540
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:49,800
Speaker 3: There's no doubt this is about standing. So in television

1541
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:52,080
Speaker 3: I have been given the option for many years.

1542
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:54,320
Speaker 4: I've been a sports aaker in the LA area for

1543
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:58,439
Speaker 4: almost thirty years. In TV, I always stand. It is

1544
01:16:58,520 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 4: my choice.

1545
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 3: I'm the only the only sports guy in my state.

1546
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:06,000
Speaker 3: Everyone else likes to sit and I like to stand.

1547
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:09,920
Speaker 3: So I'm not a big chair guy. If I would,

1548
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 3: I would. I would rather like lay down on a

1549
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:15,360
Speaker 3: couch than sit. Sit is not a good thing for me,

1550
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:18,719
Speaker 3: it really is, and so I'm one hundred percent standing

1551
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 3: that that that's an easy choice for me.

1552
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:23,920
Speaker 2: I know this, This plays it, this again plays into

1553
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 2: my my daily delusion. I want to I want to

1554
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 2: enter and exit every building through a window, you know,

1555
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:30,920
Speaker 2: like I'm like, I'm you know, like a like a

1556
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:33,679
Speaker 2: spy or you know, some kind of cat burglar type

1557
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 2: of situation, like very dramatic. You know, maybe it gets

1558
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 2: me into a situation that I don't want to be in.

1559
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:41,559
Speaker 2: Maybe it turns out to be a situation where there

1560
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:43,920
Speaker 2: are different ramifications on a number of fronts.

1561
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,280
Speaker 4: Now is this a window? Third floor?

1562
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 1: Back?

1563
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 3: I mean, is like you know, if you scale it

1564
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:50,720
Speaker 3: like Spider Man and crawl through a window or.

1565
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, maybe you pick up some different life skills, right,

1566
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:56,440
Speaker 2: Maybe I learned to repel in different situations.

1567
01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 3: I would hope on the other end, understands that you're

1568
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:01,759
Speaker 3: not like rob them as you're crawling through their window.

1569
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:04,200
Speaker 11: Well yeah, even entering your own home, there's probably gonna

1570
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:05,960
Speaker 11: be concerned neighbors just trying to look out.

1571
01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 3: Read the Ty Cobbs story about somebody entering a window,

1572
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:12,000
Speaker 3: and you might think secondly about that.

1573
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 1: All right, some homework on this fox w.

1574
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 11: All right, simple one here would you rather always be

1575
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:30,040
Speaker 11: ten minutes late for everything or always two hours early.

1576
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:33,920
Speaker 3: Ian already knows the answer to that, because there is

1577
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:36,800
Speaker 3: nobody that gets here earlier than me. I am never

1578
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:40,040
Speaker 3: less than an hour early for everything that I do,

1579
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:41,920
Speaker 3: whether it's radio, TV.

1580
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 4: I people joke about it. I am literally here at least.

1581
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 3: In fact, if I'm not here an hour before, I

1582
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 3: had my phone rings off the hook, like where are you?

1583
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 4: Where are you? Are you?

1584
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:52,360
Speaker 1: So?

1585
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 4: Yes?

1586
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:56,280
Speaker 3: Well, not only not only am I never late, I'm

1587
01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 3: insanely early to pretty much everything I do.

1588
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 4: That's an easy one.

1589
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:04,760
Speaker 2: I am the complete opposite. Steve is a broadcast professional.

1590
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:07,760
Speaker 2: I am very much not. I am ten minutes late

1591
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:11,080
Speaker 2: to everything. In fact, I'm lucky if I'm only ten

1592
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:14,080
Speaker 2: minutes late to everything. I do a daily radio show

1593
01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:16,720
Speaker 2: in Nashville. The show is literally named for me, and

1594
01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:19,120
Speaker 2: I have been late to my own show several times.

1595
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:21,639
Speaker 1: Wow, So this is a it's a plague.

1596
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:25,760
Speaker 2: It's probably one of my worst characteristics.

1597
01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:27,080
Speaker 1: If I'm being complete.

1598
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:29,680
Speaker 3: I don't understand that, you see, That's something I just

1599
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 3: don't understand.

1600
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:30,639
Speaker 4: Buck.

1601
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:34,439
Speaker 3: I've had insane hours, you know, I've worked a twenty

1602
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:37,120
Speaker 3: four hour clock in both TV and radio where I

1603
01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:38,120
Speaker 3: had insane hours.

1604
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:41,360
Speaker 4: I've never ever, I've never been late.

1605
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:47,320
Speaker 3: I've had two times, though, including with Buck Rising listening.

1606
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:49,160
Speaker 3: The first time I heard Buck Rising on the air,

1607
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:51,120
Speaker 3: I had an accident on the way to come here

1608
01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:54,320
Speaker 3: to the station. I got thirteen thousand dollars in this

1609
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:56,160
Speaker 3: settlement thanks to Buck Rising.

1610
01:19:56,760 --> 01:19:58,800
Speaker 4: So I didn't show up that day. I wasn't late.

1611
01:19:58,840 --> 01:19:59,559
Speaker 4: I just didn't show up.

1612
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:00,320
Speaker 1: Buck.

1613
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 4: I guess technically I was late.

1614
01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:05,439
Speaker 11: Wait, but Steve, would there be any value? Okay, so

1615
01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:07,280
Speaker 11: two hours that's that's fine. But is that like what

1616
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:09,639
Speaker 11: if I said four hours early? Would that mean you'd

1617
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 11: rather be time minutes late than four hours?

1618
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:13,840
Speaker 3: Usually when it happens when you are married for a

1619
01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:15,479
Speaker 3: long time and have kids, you want to get out

1620
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:18,880
Speaker 3: of the house ASVP. So with the idea of being

1621
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:22,599
Speaker 3: early early, there's there's a reasons. Back in the Buck days, yeah,

1622
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 3: I might have been a little bit late once in

1623
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 3: a while.

1624
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:27,599
Speaker 1: You got more Fox Sports Radio coming up next.
