You just call 61 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:47.560 up scores on ESPN. 62 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:51.439 Oh, Iowa State beat Cincinnati by twenty that I was 63 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:52.439 just damn good. 64 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:53.719 Ilay State's really good. 65 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.319 But the fall, you know, the cliffs for Cincinnati has 66 00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:58.120 been dramatic. 67 00:02:58.319 --> 00:02:59.560 Yeah, yeah, that's why. 68 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:01.439 You know what people when there's gonna play them in 69 00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.520 West West Virginia. Remember they were ranked. Yeah, it's almost good. 70 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.800 They beat rankings. Don't believe the rankings. It's like that, 71 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:08.639 it was almost not in the rankings. They're not a 72 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.039 top twenty five team right now in the rankings, but 73 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:12.719 they are in the net pretty good. 74 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:13.199 Yeah. 75 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.439 So I talk about this on Monday, like you're going 76 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:17.680 into the attorney projected to be a four seed. Like, 77 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.199 to me, that matters more than being a top twenty 78 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:21.319 five without question. 79 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:23.879 Could you tell it to the crowd here, could you 80 00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:25.919 speak to people in the back of the room as 81 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.479 they say, because that's true, you know you could. You're 82 00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.400 one of the top twenty teams in the country. I 83 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.680 have no doubt about that. I do kind of am 84 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:34.560 skeptical bout the team from time to time, but they 85 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:36.400 are one of the best twenty teams in the country. 86 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:36.960 Yeah. 87 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.599 I mean what they did Ken Palm ratings on offense 88 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:41.960 and defense and everything, there were one of the like 89 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.039 nine top top yeah, top nine or something. I don't 90 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.280 know if the last couple of games, but yeah, yeah. 91 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:50.520 And I mean you're seeing Colorado beat West Virginia. 92 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.759 Oh they did they want two to row now sixty 93 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:54.199 seven to sixty.

I'm not taking off 197 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:40.680 in respect to the corpse. It's funny. 198 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.279 I had one of those many years ago, many years ago, 199 00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:45.680 and it was like, oh god. It was I got 200 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:47.240 to go to a game and I kind of wore 201 00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:49.600 it that way and I said, oh god, and people noticed. 202 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:52.240 They didn't say anything, yeah, but they know. It was 203 00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:54.800 like somebody sneezed, you know, when you and then you 204 00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:57.839 kind of well, it's gonna be okay, don't worry about it. 205 00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:00.319 Well it wasn't okay, and I worried about it. I 206 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:01.360 two mistakes. 207 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:03.319 This is the worst haircut I've ever got, And for 208 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:05.319 some reason, when I was in junior college, I thought 209 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.519 it'd be a great idea to color my hair red. 210 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.439 I look like just the worst human being alive. I 211 00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:12.759 look like the scariest clown you can go wrong. 212 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:15.199 It's just terrible. That's funny. That's funny. 213 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:19.160 Okay, enough about you, Sorry, I put this. Enough about you. 214 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:20.879 You sounded like Jay all of a Sudden take it 215 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:25.079 over the dam show. Sorry, welcome everybody again. We've got 216 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:26.920 to keep you up to date with scores and stuff. 217 00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:28.879 We'll take your calls as well. We have a pretty 218 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:35.000 good lineup today. We have Lindsey Schnell. We were supposed 219 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:36.879 to have her on last week or two, it would 220 00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:37.639 be two weeks ago. 221 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:38.399 She was in town. 222 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:40.960 She's with the athletic spent some time with Tommy at 223 00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:43.559 practice and an interview in Tommy for the preview of 224 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:47.000 the Big twelve tournament. So she's gonna be on with 225 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:50.720 us at four four fifteen, four seventeen, and then we're 226 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.399 gonna have a friend of mine. He's a former coach 227 00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:54.240 at New Mexico State. 228 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:54.759 He's an author. 229 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:57.879 He's written a few books on forty Minutes of Hell 230 00:08:58.039 --> 00:08:59.759 with Nolan Richardson back in the day. 231 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.960 He has a new one out here that. 232 00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:05.879 He's going to be at the book festival here over 233 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.559 the weekend, and we'll talk about that with him. I 234 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:11.960 forget the name of it real quick. Oh, but it's 235 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:14.840 an interesting premise. It talks about NIL back in the 236 00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:18.399 sixties and seventies, you know, and just kind of a 237 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.000 fictional look at the NIL from back in the day, 238 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:23.039 kind of small school. 239 00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:25.320 How they fixed it. I don't know much about the book. 240 00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:25.840 I didn't read it. 241 00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:27.799 I didn't get a copy. But we'll talk about that 242 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:29.639 and maybe talk about the state of the world. Because 243 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:33.159 he used to be a college college basketball coach. He 244 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:36.759 has a great compelling story because he was with or 245 00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:39.679 very good friends with the former New Mexico State coach. 246 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:42.720 Went to Illinois and then came back. And I know 247 00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:46.240 you don't know that name and I and I should 248 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.080 know this because I went to New Mexico State. But 249 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:51.399 we'll let him fell us in with all the hoopla, 250 00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.279 you know, the friends of lout back in the day. 251 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:56.399 He passed away not too long ago as well. So 252 00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:59.559 it's this is the best? Is this in your world? 253 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.120 And I know your world is baseball, but I'm sure 254 00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:04.919 you have more worlds. What's March mean to you? Is 255 00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:07.799 it a fun time basketball wise? Is it better than 256 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:09.879 Super Bowl? Is it better than the World Series? What's 257 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:11.039 March madness? 258 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:11.679 Yeah? 259 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.320 I think it's my second favorite time of year, next 260 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:18.159 to October. Yeah, I mean, you're right. I mean I'm 261 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.759 a baseball guy at heart, but I mean from a 262 00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.320 fandom standpoint, March madness is. I mean, because anything can happen, 263 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.440 and anything does happen. It's just super exciting to show. 264 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.879 So a few years ago when Arizona did not make 265 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:35.279 the tournament, I think one whatever whatever tournament was, I 266 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:37.080 went to Vegas for the first time to watch the 267 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:38.000 first round on tournament. 268 00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:40.039 It was you think, oh, it's gonna be great. 269 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:41.559 You just sit there and watch games all over there 270 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:43.759 the sportsbook, but it was it was like you had 271 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:45.600 ad you have all these screens and all these things. 272 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.320 You have to keep up with what's going on. I 273 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:49.120 don't know if I want to do this. It's just 274 00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:51.919 so much information. So just you talking about that gives 275 00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:56.240 me anxiety. It was just crazy, crazy screens and scores 276 00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:58.240 and ticker and you know I had to kind of 277 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.440 you know, you have those flashes kind of like holy crap. 278 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:03.639 I said, yeah, I'm not sure I'll do do this again. 279 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:06.480 But I did it. I mean, what's your what's your takeaway? 280 00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:07.960 Like you say, you don't think you would ever do 281 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:09.960 that again. I did have to be with the guys, 282 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:11.559 you know. I went with a couple buddies, but it 283 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:14.480 was it was too much. I'd rather be out playing, 284 00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:17.200 you know, things poker or something. But it was like, 285 00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.039 holy crap, all these games and times and scores and 286 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:21.759 things like that. And I didn't even bet it, didn't 287 00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.080 bet them, didn't care too. I just wanted to experience it. 288 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:25.399 And it's a lot. 289 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.200 To experience because you know, if you're in Caesars or 290 00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:31.559 wherever you're at yet forty big screens and all this information. 291 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:33.279 Yeah, it's wild. It was fun. 292 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.039 It was cool. Which sportsbook did you go? Did you 293 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:35.679 go to Caesars? 294 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:38.519 I went to, Yeah, Caesar's and then uh, there's a 295 00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:41.960 couple of them MGM. Yeah, but you know, it's it's 296 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.159 it is what it is, but it's it's everyone's crazy 297 00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:46.039 over there because it's the best time of the year 298 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.960 for that first weekend of college basketball. 299 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:50.559 So many games. 300 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.120 You have a favorite going in to the NCAA Tournament, 301 00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:01.639 I mean, you like somebody someone some team. I like Houston. 302 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:04.240 I just think I think where they're at, how gritty 303 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:06.799 they are. They find ways to win. I mean that's 304 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:08.399 the biggest thing. You look at them and how many 305 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:10.519 times have they been behind and they find a way 306 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:10.799 to win. 307 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:11.679 They clamp down. 308 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:13.840 Yeah, it reminds me a lot kind of like the 309 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.759 Chiefs this year with Kansas City where they didn't blow 310 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.840 you away from game to game, right, but they found 311 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.399 a way to win what until until well until the 312 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:23.840 Super Bowl. 313 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:26.679 Well, if you are you a Chiefs fan, no, no, 314 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:28.840 So this was the issue with me and the Chiefs. 315 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:30.879 They did exactly what you said they did. 316 00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:35.200 But at some point you're thinking, at some point they're 317 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.879 going to catch that team that's going to not allow 318 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.679 them to stay close. I'm not able to pull it off. 319 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:42.840 I just think you you have to give so much 320 00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:46.399 credit to the Philadelphia the Eagles defense that was that 321 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:49.039 was incredible. Now, I you know, I grew up kind 322 00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:51.120 of a Niners fan and I kind of morphed into 323 00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:53.399 a Packers fan with my dad. But I play so 324 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:55.759 much fantasy football it's ridiculous. So now I'm just like, 325 00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:57.480 I don't care about the team. Who's on the team. 326 00:12:57.600 --> 00:12:59.320 Let me ask you, now that I know you're a 327 00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:02.240 big geek, what prompts you to do that with the 328 00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:03.759 with the fantasy footbollster? 329 00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:07.919 I have an excitement from a week to week. Okay, yeah, 330 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.679 I'm storting. I've I've played in and somebody's being the 331 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:12.840 second year I've played in this fantasy baseball league where 332 00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:15.080 you give I don't know if you ever played in 333 00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:17.000 the budget leagues where you have two hundred and sixty 334 00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:18.960 dollars a start and then you pay for players. Oh no, 335 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:22.000 I had to worry about that. I think it's exciting. 336 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:23.879 You know, you kind of acted in the GM role. 337 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:25.919 But again, yeah, it's kind of nerdy. But I don't care. 338 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:27.000 No, no, no for me. 339 00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:30.159 I did it one year baseball wise, Yeah, and uh, 340 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:32.399 that's a lot to do. You every day, it was 341 00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:34.360 every day, it was like the screen. But that wasn't 342 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:37.440 my problem. My problem is I draft. I stayed loyal 343 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:40.759 to my draft because I'm a I'm a loyalist this. 344 00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:42.799 There was a reason why I went after you. Now 345 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:44.600 you've got to perform. Yeah, and I don't want to 346 00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:46.840 trade anything because it's too much work. One and then 347 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:49.080 two you're supposed to be good. That's why I got you. 348 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.200 Yeah, it's never happened. That's why I sucked at it. 349 00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:53.159 And so you just did it for one year. I 350 00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:53.720 did it for one year. 351 00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:56.200 I'm not good at this because I'm too loyal to 352 00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:59.080 my people that I drafted.
