Speaker 1: Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go where the.
Speaker 1: Plays get broken down and science gets denied. Our two
of Off the Bench live from the Raising Kine Studio.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in OTV.
Speaker 3: Always always, always want to remind you about our friends
over at rejuve Me.
Speaker 2: Rejuve me Medical dot Com is the website. You know.
Speaker 3: Filling out a bracket makes me feel like my youthful self,
but only for a couple of minutes, because then it's over.
If I wanted to have that, that kind of lasts
me feeling like my youthful self again, I'd probably have
to go see rejuve Me rejuve Me Medical thirteen locations
all throughout Louisiana. No matter where you're listening to us
in Louisiana.
Speaker 2: We're talking to you. Yeah, you up there in the
Port City, They've got a location for you. Rejuve me
Medical dot Com. I want to feel you. Uh uh,
you can fill young game with that mustache.
Speaker 3: Up in the Streetport too, Yep, Fitty Sport Citty. You
can be on your way from Tyler, could be stopping
tree and then you could continue on, or you could
just go see him right here.
Speaker 2: It's up to you.
Speaker 3: Hr T baby would give me medical dot com. All right,
we're looking at our brackets. We're filling out our brackets.
I hate our brackets, but here are where we're.
Speaker 4: At my brackets.
Speaker 5: Great Matt said he had a system. He didn't didn't
explain what it was.
Speaker 6: Okay, So I do have a system, and I would
encourage everybody. I know we're you're filling brackets out at
different places. There's different websites, blah blah blah. But if
you're a listener of this show, I would encourage you
to go to losing a sports dot net and fill
out a bracket and get a little count, and then
you can kind of track. You can also track how
your bracket's doing against us over here and all the
hosts here on one of four five ESPN, And that's
where I'm doing my bracket, and I got a system
in place. Don't follow my bracket because then we have
the exact same bracket, okay, or follow my strategy.
Speaker 2: Excuse me.
Speaker 6: So I looked at shooting percentages. So we got field
goal percentage, we got three points, and we got free
throw shooting percentage. That's three. So you can't tie in those.
So I just went down and whoever won two out
of three on the shooting percentages wins the game. Okay,
pretty simple, am I right?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: There's worst strategies out there.
Speaker 7: There is worst strategies out there.
Speaker 8: So John Brady says the field goal stat is the
important stat.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I'll I say that the combination of
all three of them is the more important stat.
Speaker 7: What is John Brady?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: Obviously I watched three dribbles all season. I like, I
get it.
Speaker 4: No, you have way more from a dribblehead.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you're you're in it like you get it.
Speaker 6: I get it like you gotta know guys what doesn't
get it? When I fill out my brack get and
I give you all a strategy. I'm not just some
guy sure just talking. Uh So in the final four,
Michigan State Vanderbilt because yeah, Arkansas in Michigan. Simple, So
we got a one in there. We don't have four
ones like Jake probably gonna have.
Speaker 2: So it's that when.
Speaker 6: Because it was one year that all the ones WONK
He's gonna he's gonna the most born going in the
world with the bracket and I want.
Speaker 2: Once one time.
Speaker 6: It happened with the chalk Answers, so like, I'm just
gonna brag about it forever.
Speaker 2: There's winners and losers, Bud, I get it. And there's
loser attitudes too that end up winning.
Speaker 6: So we're gonna have Uh. This is based on the system.
In the championship game Vanderbilt number five Vanderbilt versus one Michigan,
and unfortunately, unfortunately, due to this system, a number one
seed will win the National championship and it is Michigan.
Speaker 2: Okay, First, what did we say yesterday?
Speaker 6: First, Michigan our first Big ten team to win the
National championship since matteen Cleves. Please see that dribblehead dribble heab.
Some are saying, people are talking, so there's my system.
Speaker 2: And like it or not?
Speaker 4: Great system?
Speaker 6: You zero, anybody else have any systems that they like
to go with? Yeah, actually I do.
Speaker 5: I look at a team with veteran guard play veteran
guards are also. I mean you just look up the
roster and you're like, how old are these guys?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 2: Oldest team wins.
Speaker 5: But you gotta have a you gotta have a mixture
of like, you know, young freshman superstar talent with the veterans.
Like that's I also went Michigan because Trey McKinney freshman
guard stud but he's paired with Elliott Kiddo, who's a junior.
He's been there for three years, so I mean it's
that's a mixture of freshman talent veteran leadership. Also, if
you shoot really good free throws is something that I've
always went with, which is why teams like Villanova always
go for they always have veterans always shoot free throw
as well. So that's generally what I look at. That
was the rest of it a crapshoot. Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 3: I always like to go with your record against top
twenty five opponents because that means you're battle tested one
way or the other, and not even.
Speaker 2: Necessarily that you have to be like seven and oh.
Speaker 3: But if you're like, you know, nine and three, even
against like top twent you lost three games, I'm still
like your battle tests like you've been through the fire.
So that's a big thing for me. It's like what
have you done against the best teams? Also kind of
like what have you done during a three game stretch
where you've had to face like three really good teams.
Speaker 2: How do you bounce back after a loss? Like all
those kind of things.
Speaker 3: So my final four one's gonna hate it. It's not
all one seeds, but it's high seeds. I have got Florida, Yukon, Arizona,
and Iowa State, so two ones and two two's. I've
got Florida and Arizona in the championship game, with Arizona
winning seventy one to seventy. I can't pick the Florida
Gators to win obviously. Yukon's the one that I don't
feel great about. I don't you know, Duke's choked the
last couple of years.
Speaker 2: Seeing John's is a five seed, even though I think
they're better than that. Their biggest was down.
Speaker 3: I know they didn't do well in the tournament last year.
That probably plays into it. I think the East is
incredibly easy. It's got a lot of names, but it
doesn't have the depth that people are going to think
by seeing Duke in Kansas and Saint John's and Yukon
and Michigan State, like when I look at other regions,
I think it's going to be much more difficult.
Speaker 2: Like I think the Midwest is going to be hell
on wheels.
Speaker 3: You got some teams that play physical brands of basketball,
like Texas Tech's gonna be hard, hard out for whoever.
For Michigan if they face them in the sweet sixteen,
that's gonna be hard. I have Texas Tech beating Alabama
right Virginia. They play more offensive basketball than they have
certainly in the past under Tony Bennett. But that's a
team that it's gonna be a hard win. I always
say it's gonna be a hard win. I think the
Midwest is stacked with tough games. I think the East
is all about names.
Speaker 2: I don't know man.
Speaker 6: Bama's free throw representage is seventy six point five, Texas
Tech seventy one point five.
Speaker 5: I mean, neither of those are great, honestly, but Texas
Tech's defense is so much better.
Speaker 8: I put zero thought into my bracket. I went off
vibes and my final four Texas Tech versus Texas and
then Duke versus Houston, and then I have Houston and
Texas Tech in the finals.
Speaker 4: Houston eighty eight to eighty six.
Speaker 2: High scoring like that, like a high scoring.
Speaker 4: No thought behind. We like these teams are from Texas.
Let me pick them.
Speaker 2: I like that. That's at least a process, and.
Speaker 4: I don't know how much of a process that is,
but well, if.
Speaker 6: It does win, then you get a brag about how
good your process is. True, that's what we're all looking for.
It's just what is the brag.
Speaker 5: She's gotta know she's got a lot of red in
that final as well. True Texas Tech Houston. It's a
battle of the reds.
Speaker 3: Get your guns up, Houston. So wait, yeah, they had
to have something there from Texas.
Speaker 4: They're the cougars.
Speaker 2: I gotta have a hand.
Speaker 7: It's gotta be like I like that.
Speaker 5: Let's make it that, let's make it that.
Speaker 2: We really got to think about this, Like everybody in Texas.
Speaker 3: Houston has one Texas Texas Tech, Texas A and M
Baylor t c U.
Speaker 6: What's Houston maybe a c S m U has one too.
Everybody that was in the Southwest conference has one.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Some muse was like they were acting like they were
passing out money. M hm, yeah, that's.
Speaker 2: Maybe I take a friend here. You're I don't know that.
Speaker 4: I don't know because Houston like wasn't I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you but like, yeah, even before us they
were I take it back.
Speaker 6: I don't know if everybody, like in the Southwest, it
was just it was just the Texas teams in the
Southwest Conference.
Speaker 2: I think. I don't think it's everybody, because don't think Arkansas.
Speaker 4: They just go right, We'll figure it out.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure they have one, though. Gum.
Speaker 5: I'm I mean, how do you how do you google
this Houston cougar's hands hand? What is it?
Speaker 4: By the way, I have a friend that went to Houston.
Speaker 7: Let me ask him what is that?
Speaker 4: Should I call him on the air right now?
Speaker 7: No, we're not having great luck with people we call.
Speaker 4: What's Houston's hand signal?
Speaker 6: What is the highest seed that we everybody has in
the know?
Speaker 5: They got one here, it has found it.
Speaker 1: Is.
Speaker 7: This is their idea.
Speaker 2: I forgot about.
Speaker 5: It means something else in other cultures, but this particular,
this particular time, it is for the Houston Cougars. It
is the cougar pole, as we call it in others.
But this is the cougar pole.
Speaker 2: That came out.
Speaker 8: What do we call That's.
Speaker 5: It's different states to different folks, Matt, but that's the
cougar poul So cougar's Is that what a cougar poul
looks like?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Obviously they're just messing with us, right I do, Actually
I do remember that being it.
Speaker 5: Okay, you have their own little dingle Houston Athletics.
Speaker 6: So I think their hand signal came before. You know,
everybody made it weird.
Speaker 5: Look there you go.
Speaker 6: Well, what makes it different is the index and middle
finger a little bit separated, So it makes it a
little different. Right, So it's not the same. It's not
the same people. Depends on the clientele a lot.
Speaker 7: There's only so.
Speaker 6: Many hand signals you can make, and that obviously looks
like a cougar.
Speaker 5: Paul, No for sure, because no way, it's that.
Speaker 7: It is.
Speaker 6: But if you put the index in the middle finger together,
then it's a little different.
Speaker 7: But it's separated it so it's good. So it's fine.
Speaker 5: Here's a here's a fan doing it the hand gesture.
I want to clarify what they're doing. That's why before
I pulled that out. Did you have to verify your age?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: I actually doesn't.
Speaker 8: What I just watched you pull your idea out.
Speaker 6: Literally just watched you pull your rdy out. All right, Well,
there there it is Houston. I ain't got to have
them losing.
Speaker 4: Finals.
Speaker 2: A and M's beating them. Heard the sash way.
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, way A and M field go percentage forty
five point eight, Houston forty five point zero.
Speaker 4: I think that's bogus Houston hand sign.
Speaker 6: But A and M oh my us two full points
better on three point percentage.
Speaker 2: So what was your final four again? Vandy? Who? Uh?
We have.
Speaker 6: Vandy Michigan State. Where do you go mission? Yeah, Vandy,
Michigan State, Arkansas and Michigan.
Speaker 5: Look, they got the cougar on campus doing it.
Speaker 9: Well.
Speaker 5: They literally bent one of the word is one of
the fingers?
Speaker 4: Do cougars have one? Like how our thumb is?
Speaker 6: I don't think that's a cougar pol at all that's
on their campus. H Maybe the original cougar mascot had
his ring finger cut off.
Speaker 3: Maybe Anyways, anyho, Taylor, did you say who yours was?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 5: My final four is Houston, Michigan, Arkansas, Duke. I have
Houston and Michigan in the final, with Michigan winning, let's go.
Speaker 2: So we Yeah, we're believing that stick's gonna end. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I got Vandy Michigan in the championship game. All right,
Michigan's gonna win that game to eighty four seventy eight.
Speaker 3: We're we're uh far away apart because I got Michigan
State losing uh to South Florida. Wow, whoa Now now
I picked too many upsets? Now too edgy?
Speaker 5: I think picked that's like's.
Speaker 4: Gonna make fun of your bracket no matter what.
Speaker 5: Imagine like buying this foam finger.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean in all honestly, it's probably the
highest selling foam finger in the coast copy.
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously it is.
Speaker 3: H And on that note, yeah, y'all want to go
to break, we will take a break, wouldn't we come back?
I do want to ask about a we talked about
a little bit yesterday. A guy's getting mocked to the Saints,
and I pushed back on it a little bit. And
there's some people that want this player, and I've got
to rebuttal to it, and I'd love to hear your
take on it. Guys, with a way the mood you're

Speaker 1: Com from the locker room to the airwaves, gets off
the bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 9: Everybody's her home consolation. Everybody is trying to tell me
what is right for me, but Daddy trying to bomb
it with us.
Speaker 2: Sir food, it's playing.
Speaker 3: All right, Welcome back in oh TV here live from
the Raised King Studio.
Speaker 2: In mel kiper Junior's latest Mick draft.
Speaker 3: He's got Carnal Tait receiver out of Ohio state number
eight overall to the New Orleans Saints. And I got
a little back and forth on social media where they
got Hunt Palmer Hunt likes to pick, and my rebuttal
to the pick was, let's see if I can even
read it verbatim here. So I want to make sure
I get this right, Vanity, did you That's what I'm No.
I would never not till I got Hunt palm merrow.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we know how you get on Twitter, though.
Speaker 3: I really look, it was just more of he's been
a receiver to in college. And I understand that Jeremiah
Smith was there. I understand that Marvin Harrison Junior was there.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 3: I get that. I understand that part. But he's always
been a two. In fact, he was a two last year.
He was a three their national championship here because it
was Marvin Harrison Junior, Jeremia Smith and then it was
Cardinal Tate. All right, that's and then you know a
couple of people are like, you ever heard of Jeremiah Smith?
Speaker 2: No, tell me more, who's that guy? Uh? Yeah, he's
really good. He is.
Speaker 3: That still doesn't take away from Carneal Tate never being
a number one receiver in college football. Jeremi Smith's elite.
There's elite players all across the NFL. But that's not
even the point. Like I do have some concerns that
he's never been a one and you're gonna take him
number eight overall and hunt rebuttal was a Mecca Abuca,
Jaylen Waddle and Justin Jefferson were twos in college and
they turned out. Okay, it's a big difference for me
in those guys in Cardinal Tate. And I'll tell you
why Carneal Tate's best season was fifty one catches eight
seventy five. Justin Jefferson had fifty four for eight seventy
five and twenty eighteen. So his junior year, the year
that he was good but we don't talk about, was
as good as Cardinal Tate's best year. He also had
one hundred and eleven catches for fifteen forty his senior
year in eighteen touchdowns. Justin Jefferson also ran a four
to four to three at the combine. Carneal Tate ran
a four to five to three. It's not the same person.
Jefferson actually went twenty second overall. He didn't even go
in the top ten relative athletics score for Carnal Tait.
The thing the Saints love was A sixty five was
the fortieth best for receivers at the combine. Fortieth. A
Mecca Buca o high state guy. He mentioned him being
a two in college. A Mecca Buca had two thousand
yard seasons in college. Cornel Tate didn't have any. Amecca
Buka was also the ninth teenth pick, not the eighth pick.
Jalen Wattle six pick overall. Now stats, if you want
to argue that, yeah, his stats are kind of similar.
He didn't have a thousand yard season, But Jalen Waddle
was an elite athlete who was the SEC Special Teams
Player of the Year, the SEC Freshman of the Year,
All First Team, All SEC, NCAA average prot return leader
in twenty nineteen, so he led the entire country in
punk return yards. So he was an elite athlete who
had elite return skills and ran a four to three seven.
It's not the same player as Cardinal Tate, So that's
my point. Like the people that you're going to compare
him to the number two receivers, well in Mega Buca
had thousand yard seasons two of them. Cardinal Tate didn't
have any. Jalen Wattle was a freak athlete. Cardinal Tate's
a good football player, not an elite athlete. Justin Jefferson
had fifteen teen hundred receiving yards and eighteen touchdowns.
Speaker 2: He wasn't a two.
Speaker 3: You just had two ones, which Everson and Chase, and
again Jets ran a four to four to three. You
can run a four to five to three. It's a
different player as well. So it's not the fact that
you ever heard of Jeremiah Smith. Yeah, guy's really good.
He's gonna be a top five pick probably next year.
But also I'm looking at the production, with the athletic score,
with the forty time, and we're talking about a top
eight pick at receiver. If I select you in the
top ten of receiver, I feel like you have got
to be either highly productive or highly athletic. And right now,
Cardial Tait, who's gonna be a good pro? I don't
think he's gonna be an elite pro, certainly not a
top eight pick, and there's nothing wrong with that. But
I'm looking at what he's going to be and he's
going to help teams win football games. But there's gonna
be a more talented player that can help you out
way sooner, in my opinion than Cardellis take.
Speaker 6: Scouting is hard. Hitting in a draft is hard no
matter the position, because you can always you can have
a kid that is a can't miss prospect, all world athletic,
have everything, and you can still not hit a high
percentage of the time on that person. It is hard
to pick players to understand exactly and to guess really predict,
and that's what you're doing. You're predicting that they're going
to be good. Everybody, no matter how good you are,
no matter what draft you take them, you're predicting that
they're going.
Speaker 2: To be able to do something.
Speaker 6: It's extremely hard to do. It's especially hard to do
when you're talking about a top ten pick. It's different
if you have a single digit number by your name
as a draft pick.
Speaker 2: You have to be.
Speaker 6: Over over criticized for Everything's tape really good? Yeah, he
is really good. Yeah, he's not top ten. Yeah, for
all those things that you just said, you just listened
out justin Jefferson.
Speaker 2: He was a twenty second pick.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and we gave the comp out the other day.
We're talking about the eighth overall pick in the draft.
Over everybody available, you can't pick a guy that's a
number two wide receiver on a team. Untheless, there's some
other special things that go with that, yes, right, And
are there really good things that go with it?
Speaker 2: Yet? Is he is? He deserve to be in a
first rounder? Yeah? Why not? Especially with this Joel Like,
it's not.
Speaker 6: Like they get this crazy room of wide receivers going
to be sitting in the green room.
Speaker 2: So will he go first run?
Speaker 1: Ya?
Speaker 2: He should for sure, But well should he go eight?
Absolutely not.
Speaker 6: If you want him, trade back to get him because
he'll be there, right, And we looked at the comps
for that specific pick. In the last since the year
two thousand, there's been two receivers taking at the uber
eight pick. Yeah, Ted Roe, McMillan, McMillan and Drake London.
Is this guy one of them?
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 6: You never know, but all you can do is what
you can make a decision based on based on all
the evidence provided, and he's provided that he's really good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Drake so had a relative athletics score of seventy five.
Speaker 6: So it's not real close. That is not the pick.
Nol Kuiper might be losing your fastball.
Speaker 4: I don't think he ever had a change up.
Speaker 6: He at least he could. He was a junk pitcher.
They could throw some stuff. Last year he kind of
lost it though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, to your point, like Drake London did have a
thousand yard year in college as well. But I mean
to your point, like, if you're not the production, you
got to be a freak athlete, and that's that's what
Drake London was.
Speaker 6: Yeah, four or five four and four fat four is
not screaming that you talk about waddle. Yeah, but he
also had the wow factor that you saw, there was
a wow factor three seven guy. But like you that
wow factor Pops, I.
Speaker 3: Mean Drake Lyn and somebody that played basketball usc too.
He's that kind of as Tedoro McMillan like you just mentioned.
I mean we're talking about offensive rookie of the year
and he was the clear yeah number one on his
Arizona team. And he was a four to four guy
as well. He's a big guy.
Speaker 6: So the heater that Mickey Loomis is on right now,
I say, there's no way, no way he's gonna make
that bad move.
Speaker 2: I just don't want it at eight.
Speaker 3: Like if you were picking at eighteen, all right, yeah,
sure whatever, and you'll my last ten spots. That's a
big difference in the town. Like you might have Reuben
Bain fall to you might happen, and I know he's
got the short arms and that's why he would fall
to you.
Speaker 2: That guy's explode. It can play across the d line.
Speaker 6: And you say, like, what's the bit like ten ten spots, Well,
what's the big difference If that's the point of need
for your team, you go get them. I agree with
that statement a little bit, but the big difference is
if you have a single digit draft pick, it is
highly valuable to other teams that do have an actual
need with a guy that's going to be picked up.
Speaker 2: So you have a value.
Speaker 6: You have a valuable asset that can garner you other
assets while also getting the same guy later. You can
get that guy. You don't have to reach for him.
You can sell your asset, get more stuff and still
get the same person.
Speaker 2: Is what we are trying to say about Carneal Tape.
Speaker 3: The Saints hold an incredibly valued draft choice, not just
because it's in the top eight, but because of what's
going to be available and what the teams behind them need.
Kansas City has a lot of the same needs, Cincinnati, Miami, Dallas,
who has two first round picks. I talked with Steven
Jones at the combine. They he said defense forty seven
times in our interview. He mentioned Monsieur Delaine three times
in our interview. All right, if he's available and he.
Speaker 8: Knows he visited right Mark, he's going to do a
top visit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no to the Cowboy, Yes, I think so.
Speaker 3: If he knows that the Saints could select him, the
Chiefs could select him, the Bengals could select.
Speaker 2: Him, and the Dolphins. Why not call Mickey Loomis.
Speaker 7: Call Mickey and say, hey, give me eight.
Speaker 5: I'll give you both of my first round picks. You
have to take that deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, if he even gives you twelve and a
second and a fourth, you got to think long and
hard about it, depending on.
Speaker 2: What your niece are and who's there. Yeah, do it.
So the Saints are in a great spot.
Speaker 3: They really are just being at the combine hearing people
talk about their kne and what they want and who
possibly could be available. All the teams directly behind the
Saints going all the way to twelve have a lot
of the needs.
Speaker 6: You're holding a good hand. You just gotta play it right. Yes,
you gotta play it out right. You got a bluff,
gotta go all in, gotta hold him, gotta fold them
whatever it is. So Kenny Rodgers said, you gotta know
when to do it. Yeah, and Mickey, we trust though
I don't know if I do, But come on, name
me a better GM in the last twelve months.
Speaker 5: Name me one Chunck Snodder is pretty good.
Speaker 4: I was gonna khitch you with that because I know
you love him.
Speaker 2: That's what John Schneider's real good. You're like, all right,
give me three.
Speaker 6: Well, that's you're you're basing that on a career. I
said the twelve in the last twelve months, nobody's nobody's
got the hardware that Mickey does for that draft class.
Speaker 4: You're right, it's true.
Speaker 6: We gotta I got hardware. Hang the banners because you
can definitely tell draft class after one year.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm. Tyler Shuck saved Mickey.
Speaker 6: Loomis Or did Mickey Loomis save Tyler Shuck?
Speaker 5: No, it's a good point.
Speaker 3: All right, we will take a break. We've got much
more OTV coming your way. We've got chef Michael Johnson.
We've got coach Jay Johnson joining us as well to
kind of give a preview of the Oklahoma series.
Speaker 2: Remember that starts tonight.
Speaker 3: That is a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and you should be
in the PMAC on Sunday series. We'll take a break
more OTB when we come back from the Raisin King studio.

Speaker 3: Motive all right, you said you're gonna give us, Yeah,
we don't think coming back.
Speaker 7: Yeah we have.
Speaker 6: We were talking about the Houston Cougar hand signal, and
so it just kind of thinking about like cougar's in general,
and like, what's this. So we saw the hand signal,
which I mean, frankly was shocking when we figured out
what it was. Can so we're gonna show can you
show us like what it looks like the foam finger?
You show us that this is the hands signal for
the University of Houston, obviously because that's the cougar Paul.
Speaker 5: They just said, oh yeah, it's a cougar par It
doesn't been anything else. Well, it got me thinking, like
what does a cougar Paul really look like? Can you
show what a cougar.
Speaker 2: Pol looks like?
Speaker 4: Not like the hand signal, like a.
Speaker 7: Standard paul like dog pole.
Speaker 2: I got the pads. I got four up top.
Speaker 7: You know, a little thumb thing, big pad, normal paul.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So I was like, no, well, this isn't right. They're
just messing with us at this point. They just wanted
to do some hand signal and then they made it up. Yeah,
so this is all different types of animal paus here
there's a coucker ball.
Speaker 4: Doesn't look like this.
Speaker 6: Doesn't at all. Yeah, so I got to doing a
little research. Okay, there is a there's a background to this.
There's a historical background. It dates back to nineteen fifty three.
Whoa all right, nineteen fifty three your freshman year, the
Houston Cougar live mascot. What freshman year you're old? Okay,
the live mascot for the Houston Cougars. They were traveling
to take on those dirty Longhorns from the universe City.
Speaker 7: Of Texas mascot. The was Shasta.
Speaker 6: Old Shasta got her finger cut in the door, the
cage door. Sever finger lost it gone. So at this
point this was like, this was back in the days
where people like to steal mascots.
Speaker 2: Texas A and M.
Speaker 6: They captured Bevo, they cooked them before the game, fed
them to the Texas A and M players. I don't
know if y'all know that story or no. So but
this is like fun mascot times.
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
Speaker 6: Maybe Texas chopped off Shasta's finger, I'll know. So the
fans from ut they would hold up, they would point
a finger down in mock Houston. They would mock the
fan base, they would laugh at the Houston Cougar. So
they had hold a finger down to say, oh, you
lost your finger, losers. Well, I guess what Houston embraced it.
They just said like, oh, you're gonna call me a dork.
I'm just gonna call myself a dork, so you lose
all power. So they just came up with this hand
signal where they took the ring finger, held it down
with their thumb and said, nope, we're the Houston Cougs.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're right, nobody's going to make fun of them.
Now that guy.
Speaker 7: If thisbody's making fun.
Speaker 2: Of that, actually, I think it's worse now.
Speaker 6: In nineteen fifty three, they're like, no one could ever
make fun of this situation.
Speaker 4: Well, to be fair, everybody in nineteen fifty three were
kind of dorks.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 6: And so now except with what that actually kind of
means to most people.
Speaker 8: Oh, how the turntables, right, except so now the tables.
Speaker 4: Have turned again.
Speaker 5: You were talking about the ring finger. I'm glad you
brought that up. They use this for their graduation ceremonies,
and they call it put a ring on it, obviously,
but you can't put a ring on it because the
ring finger's gone. But if you want a little extra.
Speaker 7: You can add the ring extra curricular.
Speaker 5: It'll work.
Speaker 6: Those rings are big. Imagine like just continuing to embrace it.
Speaker 4: I can't and then like I'm trying.
Speaker 8: I told you all, like I texted my friend that
goes to Houston and he's over here defending it and
calling me an ass.
Speaker 5: Like probably like like you're the first person I ever
thought of that palke it easy.
Speaker 8: You don't get it, you do it, he said, He said,
it's the Paul put it all.
Speaker 6: It's not all Paul, Like, yeah, okay.
Speaker 7: Seventy four years ago, I.
Speaker 4: Was, y'all are wild.
Speaker 5: Crazy just outwardly doing it too, Like on family Day,
they don't care. Threw up the cougar bowl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, grandmother's.
Speaker 4: Well that's crazy. Grandma is just out.
Speaker 7: Here by four year olds. I don't at that cougar pol.
Speaker 4: Actually, like no, it like makes me restrict it less.
Yeah right now, mm hmm.
Speaker 6: I don't know if the first player you think of.
I don't know if that term was as shocking in
the nineteen fifty.
Speaker 4: Now just recency bias.
Speaker 8: No, it's not recently bias Tanner cocial just because of
like he's.
Speaker 2: Called another pass.
Speaker 4: Yeah, is it cocial or what is it cozy?
Speaker 2: No, it's not, it's not.
Speaker 4: We asked him, and I don't remember. Maybe he's a cozial.
Speaker 2: I think it actually is.
Speaker 4: But there's like an Arkansas trust me. I interviewed him
and I asked him, yeah, because we asked him.
Speaker 3: To this pronunciation guy is playing tricks on my mind.
He started laughing. He goes, yeah, my whole life.
Speaker 4: But there is somebody with kocial in baseball. I don't remember.
Speaker 3: It's like if it's a U L L like at
the pronunciation guy because I asked him because I was
