He made that emphasis 20 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:09.840 like we're gonna, of course, graduate student athletes and we're gonna, 21 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.319 you know, get a good education.

But like I'm what 34 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:52.879 you guys, what's your guys opinion? It's a like, I 35 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:54.439 don't want to put too much on it, but like 36 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:56.759 I know, some people are like, he's gonna save everything, 37 00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:59.120 and some people are like, just another if he came 38 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.719 from Georgia tech, And I mean, both of those things 39 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:05.360 could happen, like you know, you know, but he's a 40 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.080 good track record. I shouldn't say both of those except 41 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.919 he's a good track record. Man, he's making. He made 42 00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:13.439 He raised a lot of money at Georgia Tech, a 43 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:15.759 smaller school, even though it's a Power five. But it's 44 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.120 not a power four. It ain't. It ain't Michigan State 45 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:20.919 tell you that, hey, Woody, good to see you back 46 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.080 in actually good to see you, good to see you 47 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:27.800 what he in the chat? So I mean, obviously if 48 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.360 he can raise like over seventy million at Georgia Tech 49 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:33.840 and like a short amount of time he did, I 50 00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:37.759 can't wait to see what he does here, right. That's 51 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.800 the big thing. We need money. We need money at 52 00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:44.039 a high level, like we talk about every week. You 53 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:47.000 hear it, not even just that's the news that mister 54 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.879 State every they got money where they're doing, like I'm 55 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:51.319 sure we have them. Well, I'm sure we have good 56 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.000 amount of money, but we need more. So this guy 57 00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:55.680 when he comes around, it's like what is it at 58 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:58.439 the at the press conface yesterday right before it was 59 00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:03.319 reported that he had already made a message for fundraising, 60 00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.120 like right before, like right before the event, which that's 61 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.240 sintuitive sectuitiveness. He doesn't even start working here for like 62 00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:12.520 another week or so, what's marine saying? I could tell 63 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.599 you that I've had some fundraising contact in lest twenty 64 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.720 fours that I've had a long time that you haven't 65 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.839 had a long time. Okay, I like that. I like that. 66 00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:27.920 What case say more say more marine, But I'm telling 67 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.279 you man, like there was rumors about, you know, maybe 68 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.120 the Spartan Fund and a few other things kind of 69 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.040 went to the wayside, like it wasn't as aggressive like 70 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:35.800 now I got called by the Spartan Fun a few times. 71 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.040 Obviously is an alumb but you know, it was just 72 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:40.560 kind of like, you know, sort of Spartan Fun. It's normal. 73 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:45.560 It's not bad, not good, but now it just I know, 74 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:50.240 hopefully the fan bases older folks can get behind this 75 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.040 because you know a lot of people who I see 76 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.519 talking online and being negative about the way NIL has 77 00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:59.319 gone or like the older generation because they're like, why 78 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.480 can't things be the way they were before? And I 79 00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.519 understand that change, change is scary, change is different, but 80 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:08.759 we need to get behind us because statistically, older folks 81 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.319 got they locked up most of the wealth and the money. 82 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.959 So we need y'all to open them pockets if you 83 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.360 want them championships like the good old days too, Like 84 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.399 you want an actional championship in football, you want the 85 00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:22.360 big trophy. You want the big trophy in basketball. You 86 00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:24.439 need to open up them pockets. We need to be 87 00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:28.680 able to We don't want to be the brides Midi 88 00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:31.480 anymore for you know, Jabari Parkers of the world. You 89 00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:33.800 know what I mean. We want to be able to 90 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.600 keep Devin Booker, you know, in the state of Michigan 91 00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:39.199 going to Michigan State. We want to be able to 92 00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.120 drop them checks to keep them short thing players here, 93 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.519 or to go outside the state, drop a bag or two, 94 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.920 grab somebody who we knows a different difference maker. You 95 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:50.560 know what I mean. I'm not saying drop two three 96 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:52.800 million on some kid who had a good year somewhere. 97 00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.600 But you know, you don't quite know we're talking about 98 00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:59.439 like Cooper Flag at Duke, they said he got twenty 99 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:04.480 eight million in nil for a year. I mean, that 100 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.399 may sound crazy, but they almost won national championship. Now, 101 00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:10.839 let's Duke right that they're gonna put money into their 102 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:14.600 basketball program. Look, you've already Lewis in the video that 103 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:18.519 he puts that. Yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely you're right. But 104 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:22.319 twenty eight million, that's we gotta be able to do 105 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:24.759 something like that if that may sound crazy, but that's 106 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.399 gonna be cheap in a few years. I'm telling you 107 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.360 it's there. And people talk about like this dorn and 108 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.199 fatigue this and that. I mean, that might happen, But 109 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:37.639 like I said, I've met I brought this up another 110 00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:42.720 conversation with somebody. You know that there's people who have like, 111 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.560 let's think about let's look at like gambling, people who 112 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.040 know they shouldn't be spending no money, those laxino every 113 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:51.439 day because they think they're gonna hit it big. People 114 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:54.959 who like anything that's addictive, like winning, winning, the thought 115 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.680 of winning, the thought of giving over the top is addictive. 116 00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:00.120 Like shoot, man, if I was if I had money 117 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.680 like that, I'd be dropping millions on the athletic department. 118 00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:08.519 I won a championship, Like that's the way. Why else 119 00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.759 would you be a fan if not to be not 120 00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:13.920 to see the big trophy, not to see the winning. 121 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:18.959 So I digress to get back to j Pat. The 122 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:23.279 point about Jpat, he's great at fundraising. He seemed really like. 123 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:27.920 He also brought up a point of having building relationships 124 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:30.680 like he really does. Seem like he gets in the 125 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.399 trenches with his folks to try to build and I 126 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.319 appreciate that that leadership style. It's really it's really how 127 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:39.120 you hold people accountable because when they see you doing it, 128 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.480 it makes it easier for them. They follow his lockstep, 129 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:45.279 like like any type of organization or any team, like 130 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.720 you know, they say the old axiom, that's what you 131 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:52.800 said that the players reflect their coach. Well, your athletic 132 00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:55.000 department's going to reflect the A D. And if he's 133 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:58.199 coming out here first press conference with good energy talking 134 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.720 about you know, we and championships and what we're going 135 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.319 to do and putting football's priority, you got your national 136 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:08.480 championship basketball coach coming over there giving them big ups, 137 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:11.720 talking about raising money in NIL with a smile on 138 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.000 his face like this may be the first time is 139 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.959 O came out and said something about NIL. It didn't 140 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.560 immediately double back and say, you know, grumble about it. 141 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.680 Like he seemed happy. He felt it felt like the 142 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:29.600 possibilities for him cross his by, like oh wait a minute, 143 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.480 we're gonna get some money. We're gonna get some serious money. Now. 144 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:36.360 People will say that, you know, Tom can get any 145 00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:39.320 type of any type of bag if you wanted to, 146 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:42.759 for real, for real, if you needed it. But he's 147 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.240 look at it this way. Should you have to go 148 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:48.600 to that type of situation you had to pull those cards. 149 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.000 It should just be people throwing money into a bag 150 00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:52.600 for you, you know what I mean? Like it shouldn't 151 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.080 be shouldn't be nothing. And so she'd be like, what 152 00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:57.279 we need? We need this kid when to get over 153 00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.759 the top. Let me check the bank. Oh, we got it. 154 00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:02.120 I gotta call up by because people are already funded it. 155 00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:05.480 That's where he needs to be at. Let's rite Donald, 156 00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:08.679 the bat era has begun, go grit. I like that 157 00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:12.720 the bat era. Okay, we said we got some positivity. 158 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:17.399 We got some positivity. Man, it's it's it's feeling good man, 159 00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:22.440 it's been Yeah, we do need to see some stuff 160 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:25.639 he needs to come through. We like that first move 161 00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:27.720 where he was doing the fund raising thing before the 162 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.840 message before the press conference. That's good, but we need 163 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:34.360 to see some action. But it feels good. This feels 164 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:40.360 like a good hire. This feels like like we are 165 00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:44.159 getting back on the good foot. And I I'm not 166 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:46.039 gonna say anything else about because I don't want jinks it. 167 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:48.159 Let's see anybody else in the check and opinion on 168 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.120 Jay back before we move on. Yeah, let me see here. 169 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.480 It was the next thing. So, like I said, it's 170 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:57.440 gonna be short and sweet. Less we get some participation. 171 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:04.120 Moneyball once again, twentieth year. Watch your favorite players from 172 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:07.879 Michigan State. And you know former players and players from 173 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:10.639 around the area coming who played in the pros are 174 00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:12.600 still playing the pros. This might be the summer league 175 00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:15.279 June twenty fourth through July. Let me put that back 176 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:21.759 up through July thirty first. Now, I love Moneyball. I 177 00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:24.480 remember taking my little cousins up there with Miles and them. 178 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.840 We're playing in Michigan State. It's a great time. It's free. 179 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:32.159 We actually got some highlight film of Moneyball from when 180 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.519 I went down there last summer that you could see 181 00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:37.759 up on the channel. And some people say it's like 182 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:39.799 there's no defense whatever, But you see what guys are 183 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:46.559 working on. You see their game. There's times where people 184 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:48.759 go to Moneyball and Iszo or coach might tell this 185 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:50.759 is hypothetical. I'm not a coach, so I don't know 186 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:53.000 what they say exactly. Where there's like hypothetic like hey 187 00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:54.720 I don't want you, I don't want you, like probably 188 00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.440 something the Cohen card be like hey, Cohen. We know 189 00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:59.679 you want to dunk, we know you can. We love it. 190 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:01.840 We want to see someone. We want you to work 191 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:03.919 on your game, work on your ball handling, work on 192 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:06.120 your shooting, and you might see him just do that 193 00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:08.080 at moneyball. You're like, why is he not dunking more? 194 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:11.720 Because he's working on his game. And it might look 195 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:14.120 really good some games, it might look good all summer. 196 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.440 It might not look good at all. But people are working. 197 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.480 They're showing you what they're working on, and that's always 198 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.279 interesting to see people develop, Like development is key Man, 199 00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:26.039 especially this sill every year. But I know some people 200 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.720 were a little skeptical about the transfers Is brought in 201 00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.320 and Trey Ford and I believe the other guy's name 202 00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.000 was Caleb. Forgive me for I can't. I can't find 203 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.399 his last name. If someone in the chats wants to 204 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:40.240 throw me. The other other kids who transferred in, he's 205 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:44.000 like six seven, small Ford power fork type, big shoot 206 00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:46.440 the three. I saw the film on these kids. They're 207 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:49.200 they look legit. They're bigger, kids are stronger as though 208 00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:52.559 obviously it was like, hey, that was our main weakness 209 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:55.639 this year, Like when we played usc U E l 210 00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:58.159 A and of course Auburn they had bigger they had 211 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.759 a bigger guard forward situation going on, and that was 212 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.399 really what took us out our game. So like what 213 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.679 this past year, little if I can you know, break 214 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.919 down a little bit this past year for those who 215 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:15.039 really are in our basketball heads, we had a we 216 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:19.960 had a good depth situation and we were beating people 217 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:23.080 in waves. We were all tough in people and it 218 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:25.679 was beautiful. I mean, if you had some good bigs, 219 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:27.600 you might be able to do something with our biggs 220 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.240 for a little bit, but we'd wear you down because like, 221 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.000 what's that going to do? Back to the basket. You 222 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:33.639 know you're gonna you're gonna dalk on us for two 223 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:35.759 and we we run up and down the court getting 224 00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:38.679 fouled and we're getting three. I mean, that's just mathematics, 225 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.879 you know what I mean. We were destroying people, destroying them, 226 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:46.960 especially especially scum Caleb Green, Thank you, Donald, thank you. 227 00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:49.919 On a marine what you say? Moneyball was the first 228 00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:53.840 proof that Kenny Goings finally had a three point shot 229 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.000 on Marine. Let me tell you something, God, that was 230 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:00.559 a special season. So let me tell you how good 231 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:03.799 Cashius Winston was y'all for those who want to go 232 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.840 down memory lane. Cashus Winston was so good. He lost 233 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:11.360 two first round picks, and he took a team of 234 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.320 starting back court. The starting team lineup of himself, depending 235 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.039 on who was healthy, was Langford, Matt McQuaid or arms 236 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:24.679 at the two or three and a walk on and 237 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:32.600 Kenny g Zion Williams career ender extraordinaire and who plays, 238 00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:35.279 and of course Xavier Tillman. He's the only man on 239 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:40.399 earth who has more kids than me right now. Incredible, incredible, 240 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.759 like he look think about that. That's how good Cashus 241 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.440 Winston and those guys were. I'll just say Cashus Winston, 242 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.519 he took a team where people thought we would have 243 00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:54.039 no chance. Team was injured going into the tournament injured. 244 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:58.159 Be they what they said was the best duke team 245 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:02.399 ever with a walk on shooting a three. Tell me 246 00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:04.840 where they do that at God, that was a great season. 247 00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:06.960 I love that. Just so sad they ran out of gas, 248 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:09.320 but it loved it. Marlon, what you're saying, what a fan? 249 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:11.799 Y'all know the vis Yeah, we do know the virus man. Well, 250 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:14.360 come coming in, let me see poo what you talking about. 251 00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:16.759 I remember when Tom tumb first came and it was 252 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:21.279 summer aim high for Moneyball and he looked all word 253 00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:25.679 than in the games real love. Yeah, Thomas Temas shooting threes. 254 00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:28.759 Thomas shooting a lot of threes and Moneyball that I 255 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:30.960 think one summer and I was just like, oh my god, 256 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.879 we finally he's shooting threes. Is gonna be amazing. We're 257 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:35.720 gonna We're gonna get to the next level. And he 258 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:37.879 didn't really do that during the season. Let me hold on, 259 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:42.440 let me get some of my my blas. You know, 260 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:44.639 slow sipping, that's that's the screen name right now, my 261 00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:46.759 producer Shine, right now, that's a slow sipping you know. 262 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:48.559 This is this is what we're doing, the short and 263 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:51.879 sweet show. Let me see what else? Pooh said. What's 264 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:54.440 your thoughts on people saying Michigan has a better roster 265 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.360 this year than MSU. Who are you referring to football 266 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:00.279 or basketball? Can you put that in the I'm in 267 00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:06.639 retire five? Absolutely? Donald, Absolutely. Matter of fact, somebody everybody 268 00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:09.480 put their favorite memory of Cashus in the chat. Let's 269 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:12.279 talk about that for a second. I still play the 270 00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:14.759 dude every but what he once a month at least 271 00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:18.279 once a month, at least at least once a month. 272 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:21.840 Crazy game. I remember my son was born the day 273 00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:24.759 after that game, my first time oldest boy. I remember 274 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:28.279 talking to my wife after winning that and I was 275 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:30.080 just like, can you hold him in one more week 276 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:32.879 Something in my spirit told me if he had just 277 00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:35.480 stayed one more weekend, we would win the national championship. 278 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.799 I still think about that. God, that was who what 279 00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:42.840 are he? Oh? Yeah, Marine, Yeah, it was just that 280 00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:44.279 was a special time. Oh you know, I'm gonna go 281 00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:46.440 back to Poo's question. I'm assuming because we were talking 282 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:51.399 about basketball ball that she was referring to the basketball roster. 283 00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:56.919 You know, I don't know, So I don't know to 284 00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:58.879 who people roll off the balls. And that's just the 285 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:01.519 honest answer. We don't know. We don't know. We were 286 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:03.440 supposed to. They're supposed to have a better rosters this year. 287 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:05.600 You see what happened. We beat this, We beat the 288 00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:09.679 brakes off them. We dogged walk Michigan twice. We probably 289 00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:13.200 dog walked in the third time. What he said, Matt 290 00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:15.919 dunk and back this That that was that was a 291 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:20.200 sweet move. I remember that. I remember that Quato Quato 292 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:24.200 Cuato was a was a mad man dude. He was. 293 00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:27.360 He was everything that. Let's go back here for a second. 294 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:30.879 Matt McQuaid was like everything Russell Bird was supposed to be. 295 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:34.200 If anybody remembers Russell Bird, Russell Bird was supposed to 296 00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:36.559 be one of the good, the best shooter in America. 297 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:39.559 Didn't do that when he came here. I'm not talking 298 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:41.480 bad about him as a person. We just talked about 299 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:44.519 basketball skills and everybody running. Tell somebody, I'm talking crazy, 300 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:50.559 But yeah, man, Matt McQuay came in. He did his job. Man. 301 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:52.480 I think it was Who's where's he working on? I 302 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:54.120 know he was working for Michigan State for a little bit, 303 00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:57.279 working under his I think he's another he's an NBA 304 00:16:57.399 --> 00:16:59.960 right now coaching. He might be. I did a double 305 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.080 check on that. Someone in the chat tell me. But yeah, man, 306 00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:06.119 that was a special season. We can get back to that. 307 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:09.759 We were the lead eighth this year. So don't don't 308 00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:13.240 let people tell you that, Oh we got some bad transfers. 309 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:17.440 We don't know, but on paper we got bigger. That 310 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.119 was our That was our main weakness outside of three 311 00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:24.720 point shooting. The guys they brought in are there was 312 00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:27.359 I think they're both at least thirty five thirty six 313 00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:31.839 percent plus three point shooters, your Brian three point shooters. 314 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:35.640 They're taller, they're they're both like though I think for 315 00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:40.839 trade Ford is uh at least at least as tall 316 00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:43.319 as Acres, if not taller, So he's at least six 317 00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:46.640 six four sixty five. They say he's like a muscle perpon. 318 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:49.759 What do you want? Man? Like, we're trying to fill 319 00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:51.200 in the holes. I mean, of course you could spend 320 00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:54.000 the money, but like I said, unless you're going to 321 00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:57.720 spend the money on absolute sure things like there's got 322 00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:01.960 Look what happened to Louisville. They paid some kid three 323 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:06.000 million and he ended up not being that good. I mean, 324 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:08.599 I want us to spend money now, but I want 325 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:13.279 to spend money on you know, some kid who got upset, 326 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:16.000 who was like a who's like a top, like a 327 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:17.680 five star or whatever, but he's not. He don't want 328 00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:19.640 to go to league right now, or something happened, he 329 00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:22.519 had a bad situation and we know he's good. Pay 330 00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:24.400 him the money come missions of state. That's what I 331 00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:26.759 want to see, or we see a sure fire like 332 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.920 Cooper flag. If Duke is paying twenty eight million to 333 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:34.200 get Cooper flag. Damn it, pay somebody thirty million. Who's 334 00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:36.079 the top gonna be one number one pick in the 335 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:39.039 NBA draft. If you know what's a sure thing, spend 336 00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:42.480 the money because you're gonna make the money back with 337 00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:47.400 the commercials, the games being on TV. Every every game 338 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:50.240 you got on TV, not on the big ten networks. 339 00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:52.559 Sometimes you know, then we got that strange Big ten 340 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:55.799 plus situation or Peacock, they gonna put us on the 341 00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:57.799 Prime Show. I mean, I guess Peacock would be Prime, 342 00:18:57.839 --> 00:18:59.359 but I'm talking about with that we can you know 343 00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.279 the money's going to be there. What is Ron Ron saying? 344 00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:04.920 I think im as you missed on maybe two titles. 345 00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:07.640 The one we lost to Yukon Absolutely that was heartbreaking. 346 00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:12.559 When that season Keith shared is his wrist hard? Do 347 00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:14.640 I remember when that happened against North Carolina? I was like, 348 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:16.279 we just lost the national championship. That was in the 349 00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:18.480 regular season. I just knew it. I should probably say 350 00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:21.279 it out loud because words have power. But and the 351 00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:24.400 one is a bench. Jared Jackson at Bridges in the 352 00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:27.240 twenty sixteen was favored by the most to win, then 353 00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:33.920 lost to Tennessee. That that Jared Jackson one Ron Is. 354 00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:37.519 There's a lot of attention with that. Jared has otienly 355 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:40.799 said multiple times that he just had a bad game 356 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:43.359 that day and he would have benched himself, and the 357 00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:45.240 stats proved that. But like it's that's not even all 358 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:47.920 the way true. Is everyone was bad that day, like 359 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:50.480 no one getting a shot. If I could check the stats, 360 00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:52.400 I'm not gonna do that right now, we live on 361 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:55.680 the show. I'll got nobody else talking. Was it was 362 00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:58.079 like got three born basionitis had to be like terrible, 363 00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:00.279 Like we weren't doing anything. We could attack zone and 364 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.559 like you've seen since Thenzo has implemented better zone offense 365 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:05.640 because we haven't been able. We haven't got hit by 366 00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:08.880 like that that that paus On offense like that since then. 367 00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:13.640 But it just that was that was kind of heartbreaking. 368 00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:16.599 That was sole crushing. But you live me learn, is 369 00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:19.839 what you say. I met that team back to Miles 370 00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:22.720 Bridges here in Hawaii. I went to the practice. Okay, okay, 371 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:24.920 well you see hey Steve, Hey, Steve, how you doing, 372 00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:28.920 how he's doing? How you doing? Cool? Cool? Yeah? Man? 373 00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:31.000 A lot of people still talk about that about that 374 00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:35.839 Jaron thing. But you know, speaking of Jaron. He's he 375 00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:38.839 missed what a three hundred and twenty five million dollar 376 00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:43.160 contract because of because of votes? All star votes are 377 00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:46.880 all NBA votes now, isn't correct me if I'm wrong? 378 00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:49.960 Isn't all NBA vote on by the media. So like 379 00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:52.880 people who don't even play the game were able to 380 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.519 get into his pockets. That's crazy, That's that's crazy. I 381 00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:59.759 think he lost twenty million dollars because of people other people, 382 00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:02.920 not because of his performance, because his performance warranted him 383 00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:06.000 to do well. But I don't I don't like that. 384 00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:09.079 They gotta fix that. I'd be like, yeah, I need 385 00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:10.839 to know the names of the people who messed up 386 00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:13.680 and took up two undred million dollars on my pocket? 387 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:18.440 Was Alito Jefferson. I hate that we as fans live 388 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:20.920 on that Duke win, but we didn't win. A little 389 00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:23.319 jenrenalized forty million, not making all envy. I thought it 390 00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:26.400 was so what was it? His guaranteed contract was gonna 391 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:28.279 go to three twenty five but now he's only gonna 392 00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:31.519 get like, what is it forty million? Because it was 393 00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:34.079 it was still forty minute. I'm still pissed, like you 394 00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:36.200 ain't you gonna take forty million? For me off of 395 00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:40.000 some votes. I don't like that they got. I mean, 396 00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:44.640 how you read performance. I guess it's in the contracts 397 00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:50.039 you got all. That's that's still kind of I don't 398 00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:51.559 like it. And they say it was about one vote too. 399 00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:55.160 Don't tell me that. Keep that number to yourself. This said, 400 00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:56.559 I didn't get it. Don't tell me it's about one 401 00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:58.279
