WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.200 Well, damn it, Bill, I, Lannon and I are running 2 00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:08.560 on Chiefs High and Camas is running on fumes because 3 00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:11.839 you've been out all day, and boy do you have stories. 4 00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:14.400 I'm so sad about Kansas. 5 00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:17.120 I'm just going to start off this podcast with a monolog. No, 6 00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:18.760 it has nothing to do with Kansas. You know what 7 00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:21.320 I did today my part time job. I'm a trainer 8 00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:23.160 at gym. I'm learning how to train people with golf. 9 00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:24.960 You know what I don't deal with is baseball. But 10 00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:26.679 today I dealt with baseball. And you know who I 11 00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:28.879 don't like to deal with. Our nine year old snot 12 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.600 knows faster that play baseball. But you know what they 13 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.119 didn't know. I was going to be the pitcher for 14 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.920 batting practice. And there was one kid, this one kid 15 00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:41.479 that I could not stand. And I got up on 16 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.759 that mound and I eyed him like I was scooball 17 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.840 and let me tell you something. I might have allegedly 18 00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:50.560 thrown it right at his helmet and I was throwing underhand, 19 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.200 but I let him know that I'm the boss, and 20 00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.000 I definitely looked at him and apologized right after. But 21 00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:58.880 that's how my day went. And now we get to 22 00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:03.759 talk about Kansas away twice in one game. One game wow, 23 00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:06.280 and the Lions didn't even play yesterday. 24 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.359 Right on cue, I have the Duke North Carolina State 25 00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:11.719 game on the TV, Landon, Do you have this game on? 26 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:13.680 No, I don't. 27 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.280 Somebody just fainted in the student section and they stretched 28 00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:22.599 out this like twenty year old, unconscious looking college kid 29 00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.280 right there. They stopped the game to get that person 30 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:29.439 out of the student section. I think, hopefully, hopefully by 31 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:31.599 the time this podcast comes out, that person has been 32 00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.200 found to be just fine. I think they just saw 33 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.359 the footage of Kansas trying to inbound the basketball in 34 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:43.200 either the last ten seconds of regulation or the last 35 00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:46.599 ten seconds of overtime, because well. 36 00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:50.120 The lifeless body of the stands was just Ryland Griffin 37 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:52.120 being just so upset that his performance. 38 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.920 I'm super tough when that person's brain dead and in 39 00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:55.439 a coma. 40 00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:59.560 I really think that we should just give Cam, give 41 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.519 Cam the controls and stay the hell out of his way. 42 00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:05.120 But it was a mixed sports weekend here a lot 43 00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:06.760 of fans like, I don't know, I feel like a 44 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.080 lot of Jayhawk fans are also Chiefs fans, so many 45 00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:11.879 of them probably don't even care about this loss anymore, 46 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:15.400 because the all the Chiefs do is go to Super Bowls. Now. 47 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.599 Uh but you know, well, we're still we're still reeling. 48 00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:20.599 Reeling is that the word? I don't know, we're still 49 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:22.280 ready to talk about it. I guess I don't know. 50 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.759 Kana just lost to Houston in two overtimes and Cam's 51 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:26.639 about to lose a sanity. This is inside the pain 52 00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:27.439 on Ryan Landrath. 53 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:33.280 I'm Landing Fields and I'm Calvin Samson's just degenerate looking son. 54 00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:34.879 That's a spinning image of himself. 55 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:39.319 Here comes the recap. 56 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:41.719 Is this gonna be Cam's Ryland Griffin game? 57 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:46.199 This might be Cam's? This is Cam's Ryan and Landon 58 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:48.479 t This is my sound right before the title show. 59 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.800 This is my le Gerald Vic goes kicked off the 60 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:52.560 team rant. 61 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.560 I want to open you with an Nick Wiper quote. 62 00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:57.240 Remember him. He was on the show for a while 63 00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.639 and he sent us a text that said, Nick, there 64 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:03.199 are so many children in Africa that are about to 65 00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:07.400 be so excited when there Bill's AFC champions t shirts arrive. 66 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:12.719 And those kids probably thought that Kansas would never win 67 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:14.960 a Big twelve title again after the twenty tens. But 68 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.680 they're about to get back to back twenty three and 69 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.080 twenty four or twenty four and twenty five Big twelve 70 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.879 champions starts. Uh huh oh man, all right, that's funny. 71 00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:27.599 It's terrible, but it's funny. Right, all right, here we go. 72 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:29.560 It's true. 73 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.080 Number seven Houston ninety two. I cannot even believe that's 74 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.840 the real score. Number twelve Kansas eighty six. 75 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.159 Coach Bill Sealth's stubborn ass. 76 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:48.960 The game was good, the result was not land and 77 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.199 give us a give us a game story, and then 78 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.319 I am skinned. This is me running from the middle 79 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:57.080 of the road into the shoulder of it to get 80 00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.319 the hell out of the way for Cam at three 81 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:01.439 hundred miles hour to come through and tell us what 82 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:02.240 he thought. 83 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:04.879 Jim behind behind a Mayflower truck. 84 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:10.039 Anyway, Wow, all right. I was gonna say, spare me 85 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.280 but a moment to read something, but you you're ahead 86 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.120 of me anyway. Okay, here's your game story, folks. In 87 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.279 one of the best games of the season in the 88 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.240 sport thus far, Kansas led by seven and a half 89 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:22.800 and shook off a huge Houston run to build a 90 00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:26.959 sixty six to sixty lead with ninety seconds left. In regulation, 91 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.439 they promptly blew that lead by committing a pivotal turnover 92 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.360 on an inbounds pass will trying to run out the clock. 93 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:37.120 In overtime, they again built a six point lead, leading 94 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:41.079 seventy nine seventy three, securing a rebound with eighteen seconds left. 95 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.399 That was good enough to give them a ninety nine 96 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:47.120 point four percent win probability, and they only needed one 97 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.720 more free throw to win the game. Dwan Harris missed 98 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.279 two free throws, Houston may the three, Kansas threw away 99 00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:57.399 the inbounds pass again, and Houston made a second three 100 00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:02.000 to erase a six point deficit in eight second another 101 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.279 overtime Flory Badunga pivotally fouled out in there. 102 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:05.839 Uh. 103 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.519 He felt out at the end of regulation. Actually, Kansas 104 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.920 was kind of out of steam and they did not 105 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:14.319 have a lot left, and they'd kind of had their 106 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.680 heart stolen twice. Uh, and they could not recover, losing 107 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.160 to the Cougars in that second overtime by the score 108 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:23.680 where he read in an instant classic or horrible choke job, 109 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:28.839 depending on what colors you're wearing. But that was a tough, 110 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.879 one amazing game. If you're a neutral incredible game. If 111 00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:35.639 you're a Houston fan, incredible game. Cam, you are neither 112 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:39.959 neutral nor a Houston fan. What do you got, buddy? 113 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.120 Yeah? Billsoft popped a perk thirty because he had Zeke 114 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:47.560 Mayo pass the ball in bounds twice when it filled. 115 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:49.639 Kind of like he ran back the same guys from 116 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:51.639 last year on this team. You know what, if it 117 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:57.560 fails once, let's do it again. How just how. 118 00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.800 You have a senior led team. This is the oldest 119 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.839 team Hunter Dickinson could be in a retirement home. Dwan 120 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.399 Harris has played more games at Kansas than I've played 121 00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:10.759 games in NBA. Two k Just inbound the damn ball, 122 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:14.040 throw it down the court. You have five what's you 123 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.000 know what would be hilarious If they had just thrown 124 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.720 the ball as far as they could, as far as 125 00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.079 they could, the end result would have been better. 126 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:29.240 Just like, just throw it up and yeah, I've wondered 127 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.519 throw it up at the Russell stover board. I don't care, man, 128 00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:35.360 Just like that's not there anymore. It's now. I think 129 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:37.160 it's everaging now or something stupid. 130 00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:41.079 It's sound no, it's yeah, Travis Goff paid out money 131 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.639 for that, but I don't think. First of all, I'm 132 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:48.160 I'm I'm gonna be semi semi calm now. The game sucked, 133 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:52.079 at least in the ending. Kansas was good for ninety 134 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.720 nine point nine percent of that basketball game. The point 135 00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.920 zero one percent that they were not good in is 136 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:03.439 the only part it matters nine, which. 137 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:08.519 Also was their win expectancy in the second half when 138 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.800 they were by six with just a few ticks left. 139 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:14.279 And I always remember when Kansas won the Big twelve. 140 00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:19.279 It was just that I think I had only seen 141 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:22.160 my favorite football team win like three super Bowls at 142 00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:24.040 that point or something, and maybe it was two, I 143 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:24.639 don't remember. 144 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:25.720 It was a while. 145 00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.199 Now. I watched this game out of which ta Twin Peaks, 146 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.399 because that's where my sister lives, not at the Twin Peaks, 147 00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:33.720 but and. 148 00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:36.279 We were Peaks. 149 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:38.839 Not does not work at Twin Peaks. We were down 150 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:40.959 there visiting for the weekend, and the plan was we'll 151 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.079 watch the Kansas game. I need a bar or something 152 00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:45.040 to watch, and it was come home. 153 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.959 You you took a family family meal at a Twin Peaks. 154 00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:53.600 I need to know your sister. We used to be 155 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.800 pretty good friends. She doesn't scream. Yeah, I just chill 156 00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:58.399 at Twin Peaks with my brother. 157 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:02.120 No, no, I need a place that had a TV 158 00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:04.759 that I thought would have. The Jayhawks came on, and 159 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:08.519 so that's what options. Well, that's let me tell you, 160 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.560 there were plenty of TVs to watch every single angle 161 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:14.319 of that splash that the that the Cougar has had 162 00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:18.360 with four seconds left, as it just right through the 163 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.319 bottom of the neck. Well, anyway, so we watched this 164 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:25.000 game and we think we're gonna be there two hours 165 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.600 and then get on home, and boy, let me tell you, 166 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:29.199 it was almost midnight by the time we made it 167 00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.720 back because the basketball game was three hours, and the 168 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.679 fans around us started doing the rock chalk chant as 169 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:38.600 the one Harris is walking to the free throw line 170 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:42.840 with eighteen seconds left and a two score about to 171 00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:46.240 become three score lead, and then all that happened after 172 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:48.799 that was Kansas didn't score again until the game was 173 00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:51.039 essentially salted away in the second time. 174 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:54.320 That means you got a triple double of ass because 175 00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:55.960 you saw the ending of the Kansas and you're a 176 00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:57.080 Twin Peaks. 177 00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:03.639 Wellt me tell you. 178 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:03.000 What is a Wichita seven. 179 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:09.120 I'm not qualified to answer this question, nor do I 180 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.120 think it's a good idea. But let me tell you 181 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:14.399 a WIDGETA seven. I would have taken those seven points 182 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:17.039 a seven point advantage. That would have been an unlucky 183 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:20.120 number for Kansas. They didn't get better than six, and 184 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:25.200 then it became negative. Which joke here, okay Land in question, 185 00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:30.399 I am curious about this question. It's simple. Was that 186 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.519 game discouraging or disappointing? 187 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:38.679 I'm firmly in camp disappointing. Yeah, it is a heck 188 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:41.039 of a way to lose a basketball game, Don't get 189 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:45.360 me wrong. Not that doesn't feel good, feels bad. You 190 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:48.200 should have be a better team. You were better than 191 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:51.000 a really good team for most of this game, at 192 00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:54.000 least as good as a really good team for most. 193 00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:54.320 Of this game. 194 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.799 You had it, Kansas had this game wrapped multiple times 195 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:03.159 and lost it multiple times. That is that's not good. 196 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.960 Like that is undeniably bad. Like that is not a 197 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.720 great trait. But at the same time, Houston is a 198 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.879 very good basketball team. And literally two Camps point. If 199 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:19.759 the the inbounds pass is simply thrown to half court 200 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.279 or further and it is touched by anybody, the game 201 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:25.480 is over in Kansas wins. 202 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:26.440 Yeah. 203 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.000 Or if dwant Harris simply makes a free throw, the 204 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.360 game is over in Kansas wins. And again those those 205 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.159 are genuine mistakes, genuine errors, things that you have to 206 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.639 be able to correct. Missing free throws is both an 207 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:41.360 air and kind of flukey at the same time. That 208 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:46.200 goes both ways. But I like we are like every 209 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.919 every game. You can argue a lot in close games, 210 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:50.879 especially it's like, well, if this one thing went this way, 211 00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:52.840 they could have won. If this one thing went that way, 212 00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:56.240 maybe they lose. And that's true. This game especially is 213 00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:59.240 literally like you can very very specifically say the rest 214 00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:01.240 of the game could win the exact same way. If 215 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:04.960 one of these two to three plays change anyone pick one, 216 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:08.559 the game is over and Kansas wins. So I am 217 00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:13.120 hard pressed to say that Kansas is doomed because I 218 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:17.200 thought they looked and played very well, at least in 219 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:21.200 comparison to who they were playing. They played Houston very well, 220 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:25.000 they had some excellent performances. Yeah, you know, Zeke Mayo 221 00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.159 maybe wasn't as good as we would have liked, very 222 00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:31.639 low percentage on high volume. But I still like this 223 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.159 is and in a weird way, I almost think it 224 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.320 is encouraging I come away from this game thinking Kansas's 225 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:41.440 ceiling is higher than I thought it was. And I 226 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.159 know they beat Houston last year in Allen Field House, 227 00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:46.919 and last year' Kansas team wasn't very good, But nonetheless 228 00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:50.639 I almost am encouraged by the result. I think they 229 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.200 played well. I think they showed which hey, everyone on Twitter, 230 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.159 buckle up. I think they showed heart, and I think 231 00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.360 they showed grit, and I think they showed toughness, and 232 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:00.399 I think they showed John. 233 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:03.320 Yeah, they showed a lot of toughness. 234 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:06.399 Least, okay, all right, Cam, they showed a. 235 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:08.039 Lot of toughness by dropping trow. 236 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:09.919 This skirt. 237 00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:16.039 Okay, point, yes, I think like it's in In all honesty, 238 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.360 they they played really well for the majority of that game. 239 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:21.120 They also saw that Flora Badunga has to play more 240 00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:24.000 minutes than kJ Adams will he I don't know much 241 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:25.320 better he. 242 00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:29.080 Has to, and I don't know. He may score and 243 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:32.799 rebound in block shots, but I don't see him diving 244 00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:36.480 on the floor and hustle playing it up Cam to 245 00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:36.840 tell what. 246 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.679 He's also not a career thirty seven percent mid range 247 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:42.039 jump shot shooter like kJ is, so he doesn't I 248 00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:44.720 mean you know, he doesn't have a place on the team. 249 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:47.399 That was Bill's take too. Bill's take after the game 250 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.480 was we were right there with a great team and 251 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:53.840 we didn't even have a starter. Nobody, nobody, kJ would. 252 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:56.440 Have helped in the last would have helped in the 253 00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.759 last couple of minutes simply. 254 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:00.360 Because aj Store would have played last. 255 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:04.559 Yes, yes, but no, like back to the question I 256 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:08.320 actually think in despite me being incredibly irrational, emotional and 257 00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:11.879 pissed off, no, it was encouraging. They are a good team. 258 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.240 Kansas is still going to be fine. I probably would 259 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:17.480 be less upset if I hadn't put currency on this 260 00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:18.919 game because I had my buddies. 261 00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:22.159 Oh my god, I want to talk about a freaking 262 00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:25.559 awful beat to have the money, but I don't know. 263 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:27.240 I don't know who would. 264 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.360 Have encouraged Cam to take such a horrible decision. Love 265 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:31.080 a line, then. 266 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:34.279 Yeah, well I take all responsibility. 267 00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:41.320 Real question for you here do you win bets? And 268 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:42.080 not often? 269 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.399 There's I don't alright, So my dad listens to the show. 270 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:51.120 High Dad, Uh, Dad, don't worry about me. I don't. 271 00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:53.840 I don't lose thousands of dollars on sports betting. I 272 00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:56.320 have bet on Iraqi League basketball before that was a 273 00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:59.159 low point in my life. And I also bet on 274 00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:01.799 like Southern today. I don't even know what their mascot is, 275 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:04.960 but it's usually like one dollar wagers, maybe five for Kansas. 276 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.000 It creeps up in exponential numbers. But no, we're fine. 277 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:10.840 But yes, I was upset and threw my phone into 278 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:11.279 the ground. 279 00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:13.919 And the reason that you made the bet on Kansas 280 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:16.159 money line whenever they did open as an underdog, and 281 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.200 they actually closed as a one point favorite, so they 282 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:21.600 didn't technically finish as a home underdog. It was closed 283 00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:23.600 for a while. A lot of sharp money came in late. 284 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:25.440 But the reason that you make a bet isn't to 285 00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:28.120 win that time. It's to win over the run of 286 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:30.360 of a longer period of time and. 287 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.840 In the future on the wrong side of that well, I. 288 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.480 Mean like, if you bet twenty bucks on Kansas as 289 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.080 plus money at home over ten different times, they're probably 290 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:43.200 winning seven or eight of them, so you'll win money. 291 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.600 But every now and then you get a nice kick 292 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.399 to the ass, like you did on Saturday, because that 293 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:51.960 was an all timer. Okay, here's my take. That's the 294 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:55.240 second most painful, maybe the most painful loss. It's one 295 00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:57.720 of two that Bill self has had at home, the 296 00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:00.480 other being the ac Law game when Tech A and 297 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:02.879 M came in here in Kansas, much like this one, 298 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.720 was in complete control for the second half, only to 299 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:08.240 watch him make a three with like twenty seconds left 300 00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:10.720 and steal a game that Texas A and M's only 301 00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:14.120 lead of the entire second half was whenever he splashed 302 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:16.720 in that shot to give up. I was twelve. I 303 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:20.159 remember back when I was twelve, Kansas losing basketball games 304 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:22.519 at home was the end of the world. Oh well, 305 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:24.960 they only did it once every couple of years, and 306 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.080 now it's apparently every few weeks. 307 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:30.279 Can I just say something here? I saw a take 308 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:32.120 on Twitter today that I actually kind of agree with. 309 00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:34.039 People are like, yeah, you know, Kansas, they used to 310 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:36.039 win the Big Twelve, but the conference is different now. 311 00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:40.399 Houston entered the conference with an unbalanced schedule and they've 312 00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:41.639 won eighteen in a row. 313 00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:44.799 Yep, correct. It has nothing to do with balance there, 314 00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:48.200 They're just meeting everybody. Here's my take on Houston, and 315 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:51.559 also why this game bothers Kansas fans so much. It's 316 00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:55.639 because suddenly, after you dated the hot girl, all those 317 00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:58.600 years the girl everybody wanted. Now somebody else has a 318 00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:03.120 romantic tail friend. Kansas has to now watch Houston, a 319 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:08.240 team that embodies twenty ten Kansas. Twenty ten's Kansas to 320 00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:12.120 a tee. They are the team Kansas used to be. 321 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:15.279 Kansas used to go on the road and they get 322 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:18.000 punched early, and they fall behind, and they trail most 323 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.080 of the game, and you think it's over, and suddenly 324 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.679 at the most crucial moments of the game, they don't 325 00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:26.159 make the mistakes, they force you into one and they 326 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:29.000 splash in the shot they have to have to snipe 327 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:30.840 a win on your home court. And at the end 328 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:33.000 of the year, when you look at that and you say, wow, 329 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:35.000 that happened at Central Florida. Houston just did that a 330 00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:37.320 week ago, and now it happens at Kansas and Houston 331 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:38.799 when they end up winning the league, and you can 332 00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:40.679 point to three or four of these coin flips that 333 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:43.919 they managed to win, not super unlike the Chiefs, seemingly 334 00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:47.039 winning all of the coin flips, because they just execute 335 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:50.360 better than everybody else. Houston with the toughness and the 336 00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:54.279 grit that is Kansas at its best during the streak, 337 00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:56.480 That's why it looks so familiar. And that's why it 338 00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:58.879 sucks so much for Kansas fans because that used to 339 00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:00.960 be the way it is. Doesn't mean Kansas still isn't 340 00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:03.879 really good. If you watch that game, regardless of the score, 341 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:06.200 and you walked away from that thinking both those teams 342 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:08.880 aren't top ten teams in the country and that outcome 343 00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:10.839 has nothing to do with how far both of them 344 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:13.000 can go in the tournament, you'd be correct. Those two 345 00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:15.839 teams are great. Kansas absolutely deserved to move up in 346 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:18.240 the rankings after losing that game. They are clearly one 347 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:20.920 of the ten or twelve best teams in college basketball. 348 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:23.559 But that's why it sucks so bad, because Houston is 349 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:27.440 twenty ten's Kansas, and that is what Jayhawk fans long 350 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:30.359 for this team to return to how they were. Kansas 351 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.160 is good, but Kansas, whenever they were at their best, 352 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:35.240 they beat a lot of good teams because they on 353 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:38.319 every day seemingly were just a little bit better than 354 00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:40.400 your good. 355 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:41.759 Yeah. 356 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.319 I think that's a really a take, and that's I 357 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:47.680 remember thinking that last year Houston wins all these Big 358 00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:50.279 twelve games. I was not sold on Houston when they 359 00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:52.480 joined the Big Twelve. I thought that they'd struggle to 360 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:55.000 get acclimated to this, But wow, how can you not 361 00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:57.079 have respect for that team and their coach that does 362 00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:59.240 nothing but win games. How they go on the road 363 00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:01.839 and they take your shot and they still manage to 364 00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:04.359 make plays. That team turned it over five times in 365 00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:07.279 fifty minutes at Allen Field House. They didn't make mistakes 366 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:10.400 when they had to. Zeke Mayo made three turnovers, all 367 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:12.960 in the final ten minutes and a few seconds of 368 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:16.519 that game. They forced Zeke Mayo into those turnovers. Zek 369 00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:18.480 Mayo didn't just throw the ball to Houston for the 370 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:21.160 hell of it. Houston forces turnovers better than any team 371 00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:23.480 in the country. They did what they do best when 372 00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:25.599 they had to have it. That's why they win games. 373 00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:27.319 Just like that's why the Chiefs win all these games. 374 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:29.319 They're at their best when it matters most, and they 375 00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:32.519 can snipe it from the last second, from the grasp 376 00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:35.839 of defeat, from the jaws of defeat. They snipe it 377 00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:38.640 at the last minute. It looks familiar. Just those guys 378 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:41.599 aren't wearing crimson and blue anymore. Doesn't mean Kansas still 379 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:44.720 isn't good. Doesn't mean Kansas can't get there very soon, 380 00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:46.960 doesn't mean, they might not get there this year, but 381 00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:50.880 you this Houston team is better than any Big twelve 382 00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:53.279 team that Kansas had to deal with in the fourteen 383 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:55.400 year run of the streak. That also is the thing 384 00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:57.759 we can't just say Gonzaga's league is ass and that's 385 00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:00.160 why they win all these leagues without acknowledging that part 386 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.279 of the reason Kansas one of those Big twelve titles 387 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:04.880 is because everybody else in their league was at best 388 00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:07.720 good but not as good as they were. Now there's 389 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:10.440 a legit elite competition year in and year out from 390 00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:13.440 a dominant program, and Kansas fans don't know what to 391 00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:14.000 do about it. 392 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:17.039 Yeah. Agree. How much do you think of this has 393 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:19.559 to do with the transfer portal and self not having 394 00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:22.400 guys in the program to develop long term? 395 00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:25.759 I don't think Landon, And you can answer if you want. 396 00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:29.400 I don't think very much. They played. They were right 397 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:31.680 there with a top five team, and everybody's like, that's 398 00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:34.759 a moral victory. No, it's not. The conference races were 399 00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:37.359 so much more important to Kansas fans than anyone else, 400 00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:39.839 So that's why this one hurts so bad. It feels 401 00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:43.400
