Speaker 1: at seven point thirty from the Miami Gardens Hard Rock
Speaker 1: Stadium in the Orange Bowl.
Speaker 2: Absolutely got two storied programs. Notre Dame versus Penn State.
Speaker 2: I actually love I love the final four. It reminds
Speaker 2: me when I was a kid with you know, you'd
Speaker 2: have Notre Dame and up battling for Penn State with
Speaker 2: Joe Paterno Notre Dame who was their coach Eraic Parsigian
Speaker 2: back in the day.
Speaker 3: Texas is in it.
Speaker 2: Darryl Royal, remember him, the legend from Texas. Man.
Speaker 4: You know what out of all the people he just named.
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm just young, but I'm not. All I knew
Speaker 4: was Joe Paturno. You don't know Darryl Royal, No bull Dog.

Speaker 1: page as you, buddy. I'm right there with you.
Speaker 2: There you go, Ohio State Wood he hate somebody running
Speaker 2: by on the opposing team right in Jacksonville. Yeah, Notre
Speaker 2: Dame versus Penn State tonight. Notre Dame actually favored by
Speaker 2: two and a half. One of the major storylines two
Speaker 2: men of color coaching the team. No black coaches ever
Speaker 2: won a national championship, so we'll see what happens. James Franklin,
Speaker 2: Marcus Freeman.
Speaker 3: Penn State.
Speaker 2: Even though they played well throughout the playoffs, they have
Speaker 2: you know, they beat SMU and Boise State, so they've
Speaker 2: sort of had an easy path to get here. As
Speaker 2: far as some of the other playoff teams. Notre Dame
Speaker 2: sort of the darling here because Marcus Freeman, their coach,
Speaker 2: looks like he's about twenty.
Speaker 3: Five years right.
Speaker 2: So actually, I don't know who to pick in this game.
Speaker 2: I actually sort of like Notre Dame to win this game.
Speaker 2: They beat george although Georgia had their starting quarterback. I
Speaker 2: think I'm picking Notre Dame this game.
Speaker 1: What do you, guys like, I think I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with you on that pick.
Speaker 3: I'm throwing in the towel, guys, I gotta go to
Speaker 3: the bathroom, beggar.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, this is what happens with live radio Bulldog.
Speaker 1: I guess it's just me and you for the duration here.
Speaker 1: Although he may have one of his quick sessions. Well,
Speaker 1: he is something, man, I swear to God. This isn't
Speaker 1: like a one off happening, dude, This happens on a
Speaker 1: regular basis.
Speaker 3: Maybe he needs to go see a proctologist.
Speaker 1: I've been, you know, encouraging that for the better part
Speaker 1: of twenty five years. But you know, what, do I know?
Speaker 1: All right? What else we got going on? There? Dogg?
Speaker 3: What else we have going on? Tonight?
Speaker 2: Palo ben Caro may make his return to the Magic
Speaker 2: lineup tonight. He was a full participant in practice yesterday.
Speaker 2: The Magic take on the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight. They're not
Speaker 2: saying for sure that Palo's gonna return. If not tonight,
Speaker 2: it will likely be tomorrow night, when the Magic take
Speaker 2: on the Milwaukee Bucks. So he's missed thirty three games.
Speaker 2: He's only played in five games this season. He missed
Speaker 2: thirty three games. Tore that right abdominal muscle October thirtieth
Speaker 2: at Chicago. Although the Magic have stayed afloat and played
Speaker 2: well since he's been gone. They're nineteen and fourteen without
Speaker 2: Pallo in the lineup, but come on now, he is
Speaker 2: their star player in the five games he played this
Speaker 2: year before the injury, Lynch, he was averaging career highs
Speaker 2: twenty nine points per game, eight point eight rebounds, five
Speaker 2: point five point six assists per game. Hey, they get
Speaker 2: him back the night or tomorrow night, when they get
Speaker 2: the Fronz Hey Franz Wagner back, when they get Jalen
Speaker 2: Suggs back, this team is gonna be ready to go.
Speaker 3: But they need to still play with an edge. Lynch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you're kind of setting up where I was.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be that team that nobody really is gonna
Speaker 1: want to play if they can get healthy and maintain
Speaker 1: some consistency.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and maintain the sort of the attitude they've had
Speaker 2: without their stars. Yeah, we're calling them the Gritty Committee
Speaker 2: on my show. That's what they need to be. The
Speaker 2: Gritty Committee. Still play with that edge that they had
Speaker 2: without their stars. So we'll see what happens tonight, but
Speaker 2: hopefully Paalo will make his return tonight.
Speaker 3: Speaking of the NBA, I know we don't.
Speaker 2: Talk a lot about the other teams in the NBA,
Speaker 2: but have you seen what the Cleveland Cavaliers have been doing.
Speaker 2: The Cleveland Cavaliers, who the Magic lost to in the
Speaker 2: first round of the playoffs last year in seven games.
Speaker 2: They fired their coach after last season, JB. Bickerstaff. Okay,
Speaker 2: even though they made the playoffs, they were a four seed.
Speaker 2: They lost in the second round to the Celtics, who
Speaker 2: ended up winning the championship. Last year, there was a
Speaker 2: lot of criticism for them firing their coach because hey
Speaker 2: took them to the playoffs four seed. Well, they bring
Speaker 2: in a new coach, Kenny Atkinson. They're thirty two to
Speaker 2: four right now, thirty two and four. They beat Oklahoma City,
Speaker 2: which was the best team in the West, last night.
Speaker 2: They've won eleven in a row. It's unbelievable what this
Speaker 2: team is doing. It's essentially the same team from last
Speaker 2: year and they're on paced to win like over seventy
Speaker 2: games this year.
Speaker 1: Says something about leadership rights.
Speaker 2: I guess so, I guess so. So we'll see what
Speaker 2: happens there. There was one other story I wanted to get.
Speaker 1: To against Boston and Bruins coming in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as we get ready for the NFL playoffs, it
Speaker 2: looks like they may have to move that Monday night
Speaker 2: game between the Rams and the Vikings, which was scheduled
Speaker 2: to be in Sofi Stadium in La. They might have
Speaker 2: to move it to Arizona.
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, he tabs on that.
Speaker 1: It's things this morning looked a little more encouraging than
Speaker 1: they did yesterday.
Speaker 3: So I again, that's it. Yeah, let's hope.
Speaker 2: So because man, that thing that fire started, I think
Speaker 2: it was. You told me it started with just a
Speaker 2: little what it was, just a little brush fire.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then the Santa Ana wins kicked in and
Speaker 1: all that, you know, picks up those embers and drops
Speaker 1: them wherever. And this is this is, this is what
Speaker 1: you're dealing with here, man. So it's it's crazy, absolutely crazy.
