Speaker 2: the day, all of that forthcoming. USC lost Juju Watkins
Speaker 2: for the rest of the tournament due to a knee
Speaker 2: injury looks like a torn acl and this is when
Speaker 2: the sport loses. There are times when there's injuries, but
Speaker 2: then there's injuries that hurt the entire sport. When Tiger
Speaker 2: was out for a variety of reasons or had surgeries,
Speaker 2: or the car accident, like the sport is hurt Brady
Speaker 2: when he blew out his knee, or maybe Peyton Manning
Speaker 2: when he had next surgery. The entire sport loses. And
Speaker 2: that was the case last night for Juju Watkins because
Speaker 2: if you look at the chain of command page, Becker's
Speaker 2: was the national player of the year in high school.
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark was in that same class, but this was
Speaker 2: Paige Becker's as the national player of the years of
Speaker 2: freshmen and then all of a sudden she had a
Speaker 2: couple of these surgeries. Then that paved the way for
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark to take the baton, and for the next
Speaker 2: three years she was the face of college basketball. And
Speaker 2: then you had Juju Watkins last year, who was starting
Speaker 2: to become the face of college basketball. She is the
Speaker 2: face of college basketball right now. You can't watch the
Speaker 2: tournaments without seeing her on a variety of commercials there.
Speaker 2: In fact, after she got injured, they go to commercial
Speaker 2: break and it's a Nike commercial featuring her. She's gonna
Speaker 2: be in college basketball for the next couple of years.
Speaker 2: You have to wait until you're a senior to go
Speaker 2: to the WNBA. You have built in stars. They're here
Speaker 2: for a while, you get to know them. And for
Speaker 2: Juju Watkins, she was going to be the next And
Speaker 2: I said this earlier this season. She could turn out
Speaker 2: to be better than Caitlyn Clark as far as a
Speaker 2: basketball player, not the phenomenon, but as far as a
Speaker 2: basketball player, she could turn out to be better than her. Women,
Speaker 2: you know, have come back from these surgeries. Paige Becker's
Speaker 2: has come back. If you've talked to doctors or you
Speaker 2: have children, you know, women seem to be more susceptible
Speaker 2: to these kind of knee injuries. Believe it or not,
Speaker 2: and having had six surgeries on one knee, just the
Speaker 2: ability to try to come back, try to come back
Speaker 2: at a high level, try to come back and be
Speaker 2: normal whatever that is. You know, it's a challenge, but
Speaker 2: modern medicine has made incredible strides here. Juju Watkins. This
Speaker 2: will be a while for her to come back because
Speaker 2: the season's almost over here with the tournament. Now you
Speaker 2: have surgery probably right away. But it was a shame
Speaker 2: to see that because you were going to have Connecticut
Speaker 2: and USC probably meet each other in the Elite eight.
Speaker 2: And I know that people were critical of the tournament
Speaker 2: and how they scheduled it last year. We're like, why
Speaker 2: would you have you know, Iowa playing LSU before, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe in the final. No, you want to make sure
Speaker 2: that they meet, and they did, and they wanted to
Speaker 2: have Yukon and USC meet. So it's Pagebackers against Juju Watkins.
Speaker 2: And look that USC team is really really good team
Speaker 2: between UCLA and USC, really really talented, deep teams, and
Speaker 2: you know, it just a shame because you want to
Speaker 2: see the great players. But this hurt the sport last night,
Speaker 2: and even after Yukon won in page Beckers in her
Speaker 2: final home appearance at thirty four, It's like, hey, we
Speaker 2: got to wrap this up to gino oriema because USC
Speaker 2: and Juju are going to start. He goes, oh, well,
Speaker 2: let's wrap it up now. I want to go watch her.
Speaker 2: This is what it sounded like last night when she
Speaker 2: ended her tournament. Rustill top of the.
Speaker 4: Key, down the left side of the lane, goes on.
Speaker 4: I say, down the light side of the lane and
Speaker 4: she grabs her luck mee.
Speaker 5: As she goes down, Lokins is holding the underside of
Speaker 5: her lucktney and a lot of pain.
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably a torn acl. They'll do an MRI if
Speaker 2: they haven't already done it. Maybe let the swelling go down.
Speaker 2: Here's her head coach, Lisa Gottlieb on the injury.
Speaker 6: I don't have an update on Jiuju because I know
Speaker 6: that's what you all want to know, other than what
Speaker 6: the statement that was put out at halftime that she's
Speaker 6: getting incredible medical care from our you know, Kech Medicine
Speaker 6: and the people at USC and our trainers and doctors.
Speaker 6: But I am, I mean, I'm feeling a lot of emotions.
Speaker 4: Obviously.
Speaker 6: I don't think I'll you know, forget forget this night
Speaker 6: for a lot of reasons.
Speaker 2: Uh. So that's you know that that's your tournament, uh
Speaker 2: where you're get caught up in the emotion of it,
Speaker 2: but you still have to think of your players. And
Speaker 2: that's what that's what was happening last night. This was
Speaker 2: a loss for the itself. So she's out, but Yukon advances.
Speaker 2: I'm watching LSU against Florida State. I think it was
Speaker 2: a one point game at half time. Next thing I know,
Speaker 2: LSU's up like thirty. I'm like, what happened?
Speaker 7: What happened?
Speaker 2: So you know, there's a lot of momentum around the
Speaker 2: women's tournament. And did I have coach Gottlieb's name right,
Speaker 2: Marvin Lindsay?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, what did I say, Lisa?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 2: Okay, Lindsay Gottlieb, the USC head coach, my bad e
Speaker 2: on me? All right, Well, I have a poll question
Speaker 2: here coming up, phone calls as well, a couple other things.
Speaker 2: It's mandatory, I think to a quarterback on his pro
Speaker 2: day that you roll left and throw back right and
Speaker 2: throw for sixty yards to a receiver that nobody's covering.
Speaker 2: And you know it's the Zach Wilson, you know, Mahomes
Speaker 2: did this too, where you go, oh my god, did
Speaker 2: you see that? I think it happens a lot more
Speaker 2: with a lot of these quarterbacks. Most of them can
Speaker 2: throw the ball fifty to sixty yards. Is it tough
Speaker 2: going left and throwing back right? Yes, but I am
Speaker 2: assuming that most of these guys have pretty good arms
Speaker 2: to play the position. And you saw that with cam
Speaker 2: Ward yesterday. It's oh my god, look at that. It's
Speaker 2: the role left, throwback right, and that's all you need. Now,
Speaker 2: now we can solidify cam Ward is the number one
Speaker 2: overall pick. Here is cam Ward talking about going to
Speaker 2: the Titans.
Speaker 8: I said, I'm solidifying today.
Speaker 9: They heard it, they heard me, So I guess off
Speaker 9: that tip. The Titans obviously have the number one overall pick.
Speaker 9: They like you, they've had you in the building. What
Speaker 9: did you want to show them today.
Speaker 10: I said, only showing number. Every other team just thrown
Speaker 10: on rhythm. Well, there's three steps on rhythm, five steps
Speaker 10: on rhythm for under end, the gun, heavy play action,
Speaker 10: you know, gun.
Speaker 8: Five with movement outside of the five.
Speaker 10: Just showing them all, you know, under center or stuff
Speaker 10: that I didn't get to sow as much as during
Speaker 10: the season.
Speaker 8: Let her know that I'm capable of it.
Speaker 2: The gun five, I'm ready, sign me up. He's got me,
Speaker 2: got my attention. He was very confident yesterday. And if
Speaker 2: you're an NFL team like you want that. You want
Speaker 2: the confidence of hey, there you go, take me and
Speaker 2: unless somebody else wants to trade Hub for me. And
Speaker 2: I started to think about this that cam Ward you
Speaker 2: know now is when you got people's jobs on the line.
Speaker 2: This is where you get real analysis behind the scenes.
Speaker 2: I'm not talking that was courtesy of the NFL network.
Speaker 2: This is about people who are going to tell the
Speaker 2: team yes or no. Because let's go back to Shador
Speaker 2: and cam Ward Man one two. I don't know is
Speaker 2: it Shador, cam is it camp all along? It feels
Speaker 2: like those who do this for a living thought cam
Speaker 2: Ward was a different quarterback than Shador Sanders. And that's
Speaker 2: why you saw Jackson Dart start to move up. It's
Speaker 2: because when the professionals get in there, not us the
Speaker 2: armchair analyst or scouts, you get the people who are
Speaker 2: really making decisions for their teams and jobs are on
Speaker 2: the line. That's why you get sometimes this separation where
Speaker 2: you go, well, wait a minute, now, Shoud or Sanders
Speaker 2: might not go in the first round, but wait, they
Speaker 2: were one two. Well, it's because these are the people
Speaker 2: who do this. They get paid to do this. Their
Speaker 2: jobs are at stake when they do this. Now you
Speaker 2: get it. It's becoming real, and you're going to have
Speaker 2: other draft picks who might be rising or falling. But
Speaker 2: it's because now the real people are analyzing this. And
Speaker 2: I was wondering about this with Shadoor Sanders. Cleveland needs
Speaker 2: a quarterback, right Cleveland does need a quarterback.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 2: I've been told that Kirk Cousins is probably still going
Speaker 2: to be in Cleveland at some point after the draft,
Speaker 2: depending on what Cleveland does. If Cleveland doesn't take Shador Sanders,
Speaker 2: to me, that says they're going to get Kirk Cousins
Speaker 2: because maybe they don't fill Shadore as a franchise quarterback.
Speaker 2: Maybe you get Travis Hunter, maybe you get Abdull Carter,
Speaker 2: maybe get somebody who's going to play. Imagine Abdul Carter
Speaker 2: with that team with Miles Garrett. Okay, got my attention.
Speaker 2: I don't know if Shador Sanders can play right now,
Speaker 2: and Cleveland needs a quarterback, Okay, then you would think
Speaker 2: they would take Shador Sanders. I still think that Kirk
Speaker 2: Cousins now he has no trade and I think eventually
Speaker 2: after the draft he would go to the Falcons and
Speaker 2: say I would like to be traded.
Speaker 3: You know, he's getting paid to be.
Speaker 2: A backup quarterback, getting paid handsomely to be a backup quarterback.
Speaker 3: But I was just I would just keep an eye
Speaker 3: on that.
Speaker 2: You know, the Giants need a quarterback too, Do they
Speaker 2: take Shador Sanders if Cleveland doesn't feels like he's.
Speaker 3: Going to go to the Giants. But then you have
Speaker 3: analysts at.
Speaker 2: The Mothership who's saying late first round, maybe a second
Speaker 2: day draft pick. So that's a wide disparity here, and
Speaker 2: that's why you got teams that hit on draft picks
Speaker 2: and teams that whiff because of these opinions right now.
Speaker 2: And that's what's interesting but also scary where you go
Speaker 2: we're looking you know, when you go to an art
Speaker 2: museum and you're looking at the same painting and you're going,
Speaker 2: what is that? Or you get somebody to go, oh,
Speaker 2: it's beautiful. We're looking at the same thing, but you
Speaker 2: see it differently than I do. And I still think
Speaker 2: that they're you know, Schador may have a comeback here.
Speaker 2: You know, he had the smear campaign that I talked about.
Speaker 2: Now he might have a little revitalization here where it's
Speaker 2: like he'll come back. They'll talk about his personality, they'll
Speaker 2: talk about his talents.
Speaker 3: You know, this is when he might have.
Speaker 2: A comeback of swords, which is still weird because he
Speaker 2: hasn't played a game in months. But this is when
Speaker 2: it's really interesting in this world. And thankfully I have
Speaker 2: somebody that I've trusted for years now to just help
Speaker 2: me look at We're looking at the same thing. It's
Speaker 2: you know, I brought this up when he said Michael
Speaker 2: Parsons is the best player in the draft. He said,
Speaker 2: but there's baggage that goes along with him. When he
Speaker 2: said Quentin Nelson at Notre Dame is the meanest guy
Speaker 2: in the draft, he'll be a Hall of Famer. Okay,
Speaker 2: Well he ended up being He's been pretty good, and
Speaker 2: Michael Parson's been pretty good. But I think that's the
Speaker 2: key is I just want somebody who does this for
Speaker 2: a little They know what they're looking at.
Speaker 3: I don't. I'll go back to when we were.
Speaker 2: Whose pro day was it that we were told later
Speaker 2: that he got pushed around. Went to the Texans Jadevion Clowning,
Speaker 2: and I remember everybody was like gushing, and so I
Speaker 2: end up talking to my source and he goes, no
Speaker 2: lower body, and I go uh, and he goes, he'll
Speaker 2: get pushed around. He had one incredible play in a
Speaker 2: bowl game and everybody thought, oh my gosh, can you
Speaker 2: imagine maybe that single number two always looks intimidating seven? Yeah, like, man,
Speaker 2: he's wearing seven, he must be really good. And Jadeveon
Speaker 2: Clowney has had a decent professional career, but nowhere near
Speaker 2: living up to the hype of what his pro day was.
Speaker 2: And here's somebody telling you his lower body he doesn't
Speaker 2: have a you know, you can move him. That was
Speaker 2: the expression, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 7: The measurables for him too, like oh he's six five
Speaker 7: two seventy and he could run a four to four
Speaker 7: whatever he ran and that big hit. It all kind
Speaker 7: of came together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that one play and it was like, man, I'm sold.
Speaker 2: Wait came in unblocked, I think right. It was just
Speaker 2: he ran and hit the Michigan running back and you're like, yeah, well,
Speaker 2: I want to know, can you make moves? Can you
Speaker 2: overpower somebody to make those plays? If you just give
Speaker 2: him a free head, start free run at him. Looking
Speaker 2: back on it, maybe not as impressive, yeah, seton. To
Speaker 2: be fair, it wasn an awesome play. It was a
Speaker 2: HOLI a hit.
Speaker 4: It was, And there are a million dudes in the
Speaker 4: world who don't outlive the hype of one great play
Speaker 4: in college. He seems to wear that more than anybody.
Speaker 4: But there are a lot of people. Did Desmond Howard
Speaker 4: really become a better pro than he was in college?
Speaker 4: Probably not. There's a million dudes like that. But for
Speaker 4: some reason, Jadevan Clowney is like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, but nobody gushed over Desmond Howard's pro day.
Speaker 2: The Mothership sent a team for his pro day. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I look at it as the hype look at him.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, of course. Yes, dude looks like a superhero.
Speaker 2: He's like straight out of a Marvel movie. Yes, but
Speaker 2: they weren't looking at him as a football player, you know,
Speaker 2: the way some scouts did that he he can be
Speaker 2: overpowered because he has no lower byty, Like I never
Speaker 2: would have thought that, But I got guys from the
Speaker 2: Mothership who just said, oh my god, I remember that afternoon.
Speaker 2: They were You know, this is one of the great
Speaker 2: pro days of all time. It's in the eye of
Speaker 2: the beholder. That's the tricky part of this. I watched
Speaker 2: cam Ward play at three different colleges and I wanted
Speaker 2: him like he had the ball and he was going
Speaker 2: to make a play a winner. I would say he's
Speaker 2: he reminds me a little of Air McNair that he
Speaker 2: just he knows how to play football. He knows how
Speaker 2: to play the position. I don't know if he's going
Speaker 2: to be as good as Air McNair, but that's the
Speaker 2: feeling I got when I watch him, Like there are
Speaker 2: just certain guys where you go, he'll somehow find a
Speaker 2: way to win. Yeah.
Speaker 11: The clowney hit was against Michigan and the Outback Bowl
Speaker 11: and the running back was Vincent Smith. Yeah, I'm watching
Speaker 11: the play. It looks like something in a sports movie
Speaker 11: about football where there's a guy that's too big and
Speaker 11: you'd make look what he did. Yeah, does look real?
Speaker 2: All right, let me take a break. We'll settle on
Speaker 2: a poll question for the first hour. Time is next hour.

Speaker 2: I have early basketball lines for March Madness, Arizona getting
Speaker 2: nine and a half against Duke Michigan State. We'll talk
Speaker 2: to Tom Izzo coming up next hour, and they're favored
Speaker 2: by two and a half BYU getting five and a
Speaker 2: half against Alabama, Maryland six and a half against Florida.
Speaker 2: The biggest margin is Arizona versus Duke Perdue getting eight
Speaker 2: and a half against Houston, Michigan eight and a half
Speaker 2: against Auburn, Kentucky four and a half against See Arkansas
Speaker 2: is getting five and a half against Texas Tech. Hmmm yeah, Paul.
Speaker 11: What I love debating on these different schools is are
Speaker 11: they a basketball school or a football school? Because Arizona
Speaker 11: they've had some success in football, but they're a basketball school.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 11: How about Arkansas? Is that a football school or a
Speaker 11: basketball school?
Speaker 2: Well, they would want to say they're a football school,
Speaker 2: but they're a basketball school. That's right, yes, Ole miss
Speaker 2: I would say that's still a football school. Kentucky still
Speaker 2: a basketball school, no matter what, still a basketball school.
Speaker 2: Michigan football school, Purdue basketball school.
Speaker 3: Right, Maryland neither basketball school.
Speaker 4: Oh no, yeah, Maryland's a school school.
Speaker 2: Alabama obviously a football school. Greg Sanke, the SEC commissioner,
Speaker 2: will join us tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Texas Tech h See, Texas Tech is.
Speaker 2: Like they're sneaky basketball, but they really want to be
Speaker 2: a football kind of sneaky football it Waivers Duke Obviously
Speaker 2: basketball Tennessee. Tennessee's had success, but it's still about that's football.
Speaker 3: Auburn I know, Oh no, they hate that down there.
Speaker 2: They see themselves as a football school, but but they're
Speaker 2: good in basketball.
Speaker 4: That's like the best slight you could possibly not bad
Speaker 4: for a basketball school.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine waking up to that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: How about Houston?
Speaker 2: Hello, Houston's basketball.
Speaker 11: They waivered to being a football school a couple of
Speaker 11: years ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they've always been a basketball school. Go back
Speaker 2: to Fi Slama Jama, go back to Elvin Hayes. I
Speaker 2: mean for decades they've they've had and Calvin Sampson has
Speaker 2: them usually in the elite eight year and in year
Speaker 2: out Sweet sixteen Final four. At least the potential for that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think yes, Marvin, Texas.
Speaker 7: A and M they want to be a football school.
Speaker 3: It's still football.
Speaker 7: I mean, but they're better year in a year out
Speaker 7: in basketball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they want to be a football school.
Speaker 7: Oh, I know, I know what you want to be.
Speaker 7: I want to be an NBA player, but I'm a Dane.
Speaker 2: How about Baylor, oh Man, they won a national title
Speaker 2: in basketball? You had RG three winning a Heisman. There,
Speaker 2: Its like they might be basketball.
Speaker 4: I mean even women's basketball.
Speaker 2: They've basketball.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, I love the topic.
Speaker 11: WHI could do all that. If you're an Arkansas sports fan,
Speaker 11: you want to be a football school. I think if
Speaker 11: you asked an Arkansas sports fan, would you rather win
Speaker 11: the national title in basketball or the SEC in football?
Speaker 11: I think they take the SEC, not the national title football,
Speaker 11: just the SEC.
Speaker 2: I don't want to speak for them. I don't, especially
Speaker 2: especially at some of these programs. I want to stay
Speaker 2: in my lane on this one. But I just from
Speaker 2: a you know, a neutral observer, I would say Arkansas
Speaker 2: wants to be a football school, but they're a basketball school.
Speaker 2: I mean, they go back to Nolan Richardson. I mean,
Speaker 2: they've had really good schools, really good football teams at Arkansas.
Speaker 2: Arizona baseball school, kind of a baseball school Sham's made
Speaker 2: it official that Juju Watkins suffered a torn acl and
Speaker 2: she will undergo surgery. All right, we knew that. The
Speaker 2: question is when she undergoes surgery and that timeframe too
Speaker 2: of coming back. But it used to be that was
Speaker 2: just a death sentence for an athlete. You know, if
Speaker 2: you looked at the financial part of this, where you go, gosh,
Speaker 2: they're not going to make that money going into the pros.
Speaker 2: She's making millions of dollars right now, and she actually
Speaker 2: making more money now than she would going into the WNBA.
Speaker 2: Her salary is not going to be great in the WNBA.
Speaker 2: She'll still get endorsements, but she's the face of a
Speaker 2: sport and now she has to come back and become
Speaker 2: that face again. And you know, there are still women's
Speaker 2: college basketball. You know, you have star power. It feels
Speaker 2: like all over the country here and Paige Becker's with
Speaker 2: her final call of you know, maybe winning a national championship.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that was a devastating injury. And you watch
Speaker 2: the play and she kind of got book ended by
Speaker 2: two defenders there then went down and you know, they
Speaker 2: an athlete knows when you get hurt, you know, it's
Speaker 2: just and having done this to my knee A couple
Speaker 2: of times, I was running in Central Park and I
Speaker 2: was running with somebody. I said, I I just tore
Speaker 2: a ligament, and he goes, how do you know? I said,
Speaker 2: I I know, I just I need I'm going to
Speaker 2: need knee surgery. And walked around that whole night in
Speaker 2: New York and then the next day went to doctor
Speaker 2: and he said, you need to have surgery right right away.
Speaker 2: You just know it, you feel it because it's something different.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you'll hear somebody say I heard a pop. You
Speaker 2: know that definitely. I've been on a basketball floor where
Speaker 2: a guy blew out both achilles on the floor and
Speaker 2: we were in Denver and it was a pop hoop
Speaker 2: and he didn't even know it, Like it's one one
Speaker 2: of those where he looked around and we realized what
Speaker 2: had happened, blew out both of his achilles.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Paul, you know what's the exact opposite of that,
Speaker 11: I think is the ankle. Again, I didn't play high
Speaker 11: end sports, but sometimes you see an athlete get an
Speaker 11: ankle injury and you look like, oh, they're out for
Speaker 11: a month, and then they're back in in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 11: like Jason Tatum last night. If you looked at his
Speaker 11: injury and you're a Celtics fan, you're like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 11: he's done. And then he walked calmly, gingerly to the
Speaker 11: locker room. Ankles seemed to be very You can't tell
Speaker 11: what's going to happen.
Speaker 3: Well with an ankle.
Speaker 2: You know, I've had ankle springs from high school that
Speaker 2: I that they're still alive, that I can twist my
Speaker 2: ankle because I had a really bad sprained ankle in
Speaker 2: high school. It just that never goes away. So when
Speaker 2: you get when you heal from it. There's certain injuries
Speaker 2: where you healed, but you don't heal all the way
Speaker 2: bad back like you can be like, hey, I'm feeling better.
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean it won't come back yes time.
Speaker 7: And then there's somebody like turf toe, which could be
Speaker 7: very painful, but to the average fan it's like, really,
Speaker 7: you're not gonna play it because of the turf toe.
Speaker 3: Come on, well, I remember, you know.
Speaker 2: Jack Lambert played for the Steelers, one of the toughest
Speaker 2: guys who ever played in the NFL, and his career
Speaker 2: was derailed by turf toe and like when you hear
Speaker 2: turf toe, you're like, would it like, come on, turf toe?
Speaker 2: And then you see Dion Sanders take his shoes and
Speaker 2: socks off and showed us what turf toe looked like,
Speaker 2: and then he got it amputated. So it's no joke.
Speaker 2: But it's one of those where you go turf toe
Speaker 2: or planter fascy itis, you're like a Liz Frank injury.
Speaker 3: He has Paul.
Speaker 11: Turf toe, by definition, is an extreme strain in the
Speaker 11: ligaments behind the toe, if left untreated, can cause long
Speaker 11: term stiffness and even there's bigger words, but where it
Speaker 11: kind of fixes your toe in a certain position and
Speaker 11: you can't move it anymore.
Speaker 3: David in Arkansas, Hi, David, what's on your mind?
Speaker 15: Good morning, gentlemen. I was very much interested in the
Speaker 15: conversation you know we're having there about is Arkansas a
Speaker 15: football school or a basketball school? Okay, As a lifelong razorbacksan,
Speaker 15: I can remember when we were definitely football and Barnhill
Speaker 15: Arena was actually our old basketball facility. You know, the
Speaker 15: team football team would have indoor practice in there.
Speaker 2: But no, no, no, no, hold on, David, I remember
Speaker 2: Arkansas playing Texas you know in a national title game.
Speaker 2: I remember that. I go back a long ways. I'm
Speaker 2: talking about right now. Is Arkansas a basketball scorer? Football school?
Speaker 14: Right now?
Speaker 15: We're basketball with Okay.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. What do you want to be though?
Speaker 16: Everything?
Speaker 2: Because no, David, you got Marvin hung up on him.
Speaker 2: That wasn't hang up worthy. Austin In, Illinois, High Austin,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind? Yeah, you're taking me back to
Speaker 2: the sixties with Arkansas sports. Hey Austin.
Speaker 17: Hey, fella's five nine six five.
Speaker 14: In Indiana now.
Speaker 17: A football school, they don't.
Speaker 18: They're sure of the Big Ten conferences heavier in football
Speaker 18: at this point than it is in basketball.
Speaker 3: I would say, right now, football school.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 11: However, Indiana sports fans would disband the football program to
Speaker 11: make the basketball program a national power again.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but they don't seem like they're close. So
Speaker 2: I mean football team made the playoffs. You know, it's
Speaker 2: tough sledding to try to keep up with those other
Speaker 2: schools in the Big Ten football wise, basketball wise, you
Speaker 2: would think they.
Speaker 3: Would be able to do that.
Speaker 2: But here you are firing your coach didn't make the tournament.
Speaker 2: But I would say, yeah, right, And I'm not talking
Speaker 2: about historically. I'm talking about right now. Are you a
Speaker 2: football school? Are you a basketball school? Yes, Martin.
Speaker 7: I think the dream scenario is Florida when Florida was
Speaker 7: with Urban Meyer and then basketball had Billy Donovan, Joe
Speaker 7: Kim Noah A. We're winning national championships in both sports.
Speaker 7: A pick whichever one.
Speaker 2: We're great in both Tony and Kentucky? Hi, Tony, what's
Speaker 2: on your Mind's?
Speaker 15: Good?
Speaker 19: Man?
Speaker 17: But I just wanted to be in on the Jadejo
Speaker 17: Clowney talk you guys had. Yeah, I don't think run
Speaker 17: a big as big as the Rens, and it not
Speaker 17: done for the player right before that where it was
Speaker 17: like the first then but not the first then and
Speaker 17: spur you a little crazy. They do his thing and
Speaker 17: he's the only got really big.
Speaker 2: Okay, But if I took away that play from Jadeveon
Speaker 2: Clowney his college career, maybe it's easier for him to
Speaker 2: be a good player in the NFL. Like we we
Speaker 2: were waiting for superhero stuff and it just never happened.
Speaker 2: You You looked at him and you go, oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: who's going to block him? And he never lived up
Speaker 2: to that one tackle that he had, and he treated
Speaker 2: the running back from Michigan like at Rockham Sockham Robots,
Speaker 2: where you hit him and then all of a sudden
Speaker 2: the head goes.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Yes, of course, back in your wheelhouse. Let's go Mark
Speaker 2: in Arkansas. He would be Markansaw.
Speaker 14: Exactly. A first time caller, long time listener. Five. There
Speaker 14: we go. Hey, As much as we would love to
Speaker 14: be a football school or thought as a basketball school,
Speaker 14: to be perfectly honest, we're a track and field school.
Speaker 14: We have more track and field titles than anybody in country.
Speaker 2: And I know it, but Mark, you don't want to
Speaker 2: be a track and field school. I mean, I know
Speaker 2: you're winning, but you're you don't want to be known
Speaker 2: as a track and field school.
Speaker 14: Only we're one hundred percent right. It's it's football. It
Speaker 14: is absolutely football. Football is king and we all know that.
Speaker 14: But we're also an excellent baseball progam I just want to,
Speaker 14: you know, toutor our horn a little bit. Nobody talks
Speaker 14: about our dragon field.
Speaker 19: No.
Speaker 2: Cali Perry talked about the baseball team yesterday. You want
Speaker 2: to be a football school, You're a basketball school. Your
Speaker 2: success has been basketball, not football, totally agree.
Speaker 14: And I'll tell you what Calipari has done. An amazing job.
Speaker 14: What an amazing job he's done.
Speaker 3: Did you think that after he started doing five?
Speaker 17: Though?
Speaker 14: Mark, I actually was not worried. I really wasn't. Had
Speaker 14: that very conversation with a friend of mine. He thought,
Speaker 14: Caliperi And forgive me for saying this un national television
Speaker 14: thought he was done. I said, no way, this guy's
Speaker 14: got a lot to prove, a lot to prove.
Speaker 3: How's that football team at Arkansas going to do?
Speaker 2: Thank you, Mark, SEC Commissioner Greg Sank on the program tomorrow.
Speaker 2: SEC is not now a basketball conference? There, Sean and Florida, Hi, Sean,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 3: Go Gators?
Speaker 19: Is what's on my mind?
Speaker 18: Dan?
Speaker 19: Sweet sixteen bound yet again?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 19: And I think Marvin hit it on the head when
Speaker 19: he said Florida is the only school that can claim
Speaker 19: and I think we are right now a basketball and
Speaker 19: football school. DJ Lagway is going to be a superstar
Speaker 19: next year. And I just wanted to say, go Gators,
Speaker 19: you have a good one, happy college basketball Sweet sixteen week.
Speaker 3: Let's go, Thanks Sean, thank you.
Speaker 2: Sean, Floor's basketball ish basketball ish? I mean they had
Speaker 2: when you had Donovan there in urban There. I mean
Speaker 2: that that was a powerhouse there. But a lot of schools,
Speaker 2: you know, you put your nil into one sport now,
Speaker 2: I don't know how it's going to be with other
Speaker 2: Like Michigan State's a basketball school. They want to be football,
Speaker 2: but they're a basketball school. But you know, I don't
Speaker 2: know what their nil is, what they're collectible is, I
Speaker 2: don't I don't know that. But tom Izzo doesn't get
Speaker 2: the big time star. I mean, you got Jason Richardson's son,
Speaker 2: because Jason Richardson played at Michigan State, and Jason is
Speaker 2: going to be probably a lottery pick here. But you know,
Speaker 2: these schools who have money, where's your money going? If
Speaker 2: you said, hey, we got twenty one million dollars, most
Speaker 2: of these schools are going to spend seventeen to eighteen
Speaker 2: million dollars on their football team. That's what's going to happen.
Speaker 2: If they you know, you have a salary cap with nil,
Speaker 2: most of that money is going to go to football.
Speaker 2: All right, Well take a break, just getting started.
Speaker 19: Huh.
Speaker 2: We got everybody fired up now all over the country.
Speaker 2: We're not a football We're not a basket balls, track
Speaker 2: and if you go to track and field, that's what
Speaker 2: you want to be known for. Just because you're winning championships.
Speaker 2: I mean, is somebody calling in from Ucla for water polo.
Speaker 3: Let's take a break.
Speaker 2: We're back after this.

Speaker 2: If you lived in Arkansas?
Speaker 4: Would you rather a national title in basketball or an
Speaker 4: SEC title in football?
Speaker 2: It's very narrow, very niche pole question. There anything that
Speaker 2: sort of representative of a larger base.
Speaker 4: Right now, the seventy three percent would rather win the
Speaker 4: SEC title? Is that a national title in basketball?
Speaker 2: Yes? Yeah, I think if you know, you could say
Speaker 2: that to a lot of different athletic directors, like privately,
Speaker 2: would you rather win the SEC championship in football or
Speaker 2: a national title in basketball? Randy in Washington? Hi Randy,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 14: Hi?
Speaker 18: Pat? This is Randy Bellvilly up out of Blaytane, Washington.
Speaker 18: First time caller. I'm five ten, two hundred and twenty pounds.
Speaker 2: All righty awesome.
Speaker 18: So I was kind of curious Oregon's been to the
Speaker 18: NCAA tournament. You know, I think, what like nine times
Speaker 18: of the last eleven years. But are they football or
Speaker 18: are they basketball?
Speaker 17: Or are they both?
Speaker 2: They are football when you think but when you think Oregon,
Speaker 2: you think football. You think they're uniforms now. They've had
Speaker 2: good players there, they've had good tournament runs. But Oregon
Speaker 2: to me, would be a football school. Eric in Michigan, Hi, Eric,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 14: Hi?
Speaker 3: Yes, I was thinking just this year because Michigan State
Speaker 3: had a very good hockey team. You could consider them
Speaker 3: as a hockey team this year as well as that squall.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you want to, I'm just saying, from the
Speaker 2: outside looking in, Michigan State is a basketball school. Joe
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles, Hi, Joe, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 3: By good morning DP, Good morning.
Speaker 14: Five eight one fifty. Thank you.
Speaker 18: As a proud UCLA alumni, I just want to go
Speaker 18: on the.
Speaker 17: Record saying that ucle is neither a football nor a
Speaker 17: basketball school.
Speaker 2: All right, well, thank you, Joe. They got a lot
Speaker 2: of banners there, but you know, like every couple of
Speaker 2: years they kind of pop up and you go, all right,
Speaker 2: make a little tournament run here. Football was They're still
Speaker 2: trying to figure that out, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 11: Going back to Oregon, ironically, they are or were and
Speaker 11: still are a huge track and field school. Sure, but
Speaker 11: the reason they became a great football school because their
Speaker 11: track and field team produced Phil Knight, who became Nike
Speaker 11: who put up all the money for them to become
Speaker 11: a football school.
Speaker 2: Phil Nike Robert in Portland. Hi, Robert, what's on your
Speaker 2: mind today?
Speaker 16: Hey guys, how you doing quick?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 16: Just to follow up on this conversation, it's hard to
Speaker 16: argue that a school, you know, especially a big time program,
Speaker 16: isn't or doesn't want to be a football school. But
Speaker 16: given this past weekend with the NCAA Wrestling Championships, which
Speaker 16: were phenomenal by the way, I don't know if you
Speaker 16: guys saw that heavyweight match, but is Penn State just
Speaker 16: given their sheer dominance over the last fifteen years. I
Speaker 16: think they've won twelve of the last fifteen national titles.
Speaker 16: Could they be considered or are they considered now a
Speaker 16: wrestling school?
Speaker 3: No, they're a football school.
Speaker 2: You can be successful as a baseball school at track
Speaker 2: and field, water Pool, but the outside perception or viewpoint
Speaker 2: is Penn State.
Speaker 3: You think football?
Speaker 2: Ye, not enough people are following college wrestling, so there's
Speaker 2: other and you know people are going to call and say, hey,
Speaker 2: what about Florida State baseball? Yes, Florida State's football school.
Speaker 2: It's all That's what we're We're just we were looking
Speaker 2: at the Sweet sixteen of schools of what they want
Speaker 2: to be, what they are. Like, the reality at Arkansas
Speaker 2: is you're a basketball school. You want to be a
Speaker 2: football school, and occasionally you are, but you're a basketball school.
Speaker 2: You've had great success and recent success. Yes, Pauline.
Speaker 11: If you go back to wrestling, I would say Oklahoma
Speaker 11: State University and Iowa historically are the biggest wrestling schools.
Speaker 11: Penn State the last decade has been awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Jeff in Ohio, Hi, Jeff, what's on your mind?
Speaker 2: Hey jeff.
Speaker 14: Man, Jeff, this is Jim not Jeff.
Speaker 2: Oh well, my apologies. I'm going to fire Tyler.
Speaker 18: Hey what about Crappensburg State?
Speaker 14: Is it considered a bas tomorrow football school?
Speaker 4: It's a great, great question.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well let me ask uh Seaton, who is uh
