Speaker 4: obviously up at Florida State they've they've shut down all
Speaker 4: their athletic competition this weekend because of the shootings that
Speaker 4: happened on campus. Jonathan Isaac, Orlando Magic player, he went
Speaker 4: to Florida State. He was very emotional yesterday during after
Speaker 4: magic practice talking about it. So, yeah, thoughts and prayers
Speaker 4: obviously go out to all the people up in Tallahassee.
Speaker 4: One of my best friend's daughters Goes, Goes, both of
Speaker 4: her daughters go to Florida State, and they were in
Speaker 4: lockdown yesterday, so scary, scary.

Speaker 2: and sound.
Speaker 1: And shoot them a text to make make sure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the kids did well, to make sure, reach out to
Speaker 1: families and friends and all that.
Speaker 3: So I'm proud of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Speaking of FSU, FSU legend Lee Corso Orlando Zone, he's
Speaker 4: retiring from college football Game Day on ESPN. That was
Speaker 4: announced yesterday. Corso has been living in Orlando obviously since
Speaker 4: he coached the Orlando Renegades back in nineteen the mid
Speaker 4: nineteen eighties, By the way, that's how he was discovered
Speaker 4: at ESPN. He was coaching the Renegades. ESPN televised the
Speaker 4: USFL back then, and because Lee was such a funny
Speaker 4: quipster in his postgame press conferences, he got his foot
Speaker 4: in the door and they hired him for the college
Speaker 4: football coverage and the rest is history. Lee, of course,
Speaker 4: is getting older. He turns ninety in August. His last
Speaker 4: broadcast will be August thirtieth. So Lee, course, who every
Speaker 4: no matter how many times you saw it when he
Speaker 4: put on the mascothead to make his pick, loved it.
Speaker 3: Did you not have a smile on your first graph?
Speaker 2: Yeah? You know, what's chill? You know, you know, it's
Speaker 2: kind of odd that bulldog. Just last week we were
Speaker 2: talking about this. This announcement comes as a bit of
Speaker 2: a surprise because as as recently as last week it
Speaker 2: was stated that they were going to talk to Lee
Speaker 2: after the season, and I kind of see where he
Speaker 2: stood on everything, and then all of a sudden, you know,
Speaker 2: here comes this announcement. He's going to do that that
Speaker 2: first opening weekend and then that'll be uh, that'll be it.
Speaker 4: I remember when game day was on campus for UCF
Speaker 4: back in twenty eighteen. They were playing Cincinnati. Lee didn't
Speaker 4: just put on the mask gothead. He put on the
Speaker 4: whole nightro outfit. Yeah, okay, Well he picked the Gators
Speaker 4: one time to win the national championship. He actually had
Speaker 4: a live baby alligator in his hands. The man they
Speaker 4: should cont Do you think they should continue the mascotead
Speaker 4: tradition with somebody else?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, nope, retirement. That's his his
Speaker 1: stick unless they said, in honor still find no matter
Speaker 1: who puts the mask on.
Speaker 4: You could put Taco Bob on there and have you
Speaker 4: put the mask on, head on and everybody would.
Speaker 1: Laugh if you said not me. But if you said,
Speaker 1: in honor of the great LC put on the mask,
Speaker 1: insert name, then you could do it.
Speaker 3: Okay, maybe bring it back everyone.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you Lee Corso for all the great memories
Speaker 2: over the years we appreciated as sports fans.
Speaker 1: Great man, great man.
Speaker 3: Absolutely magic.
Speaker 4: Playoffs Sunday, three point thirty pm The Godden Up in Boston.
Speaker 4: What's gonna happen in the series. We talked about it
Speaker 4: yesterday nobody's given the Magic a chance. They are heavy,
Speaker 4: heavy underdogs. I'm gonna make a prediction here, guys. This
Speaker 4: is really pretty simple with the Magic. The the Magic
Speaker 4: win games when they can shoot the three point shot.
Speaker 4: It's no secret they've been one of the worst three
Speaker 4: point shooting teams. No, they've been the worst three point
Speaker 4: shooting team in the league this year. Well, they've they've
Speaker 4: been hot at the end of the season, right, they're
Speaker 4: playing a lot better. Last sixteen games, the Magic shot
Speaker 4: thirty six point seven percent from three point range, which
Speaker 4: is above the league average of thirty six point zero percent.
Speaker 4: Before then, the Magic shot just thirty percent from three
Speaker 4: point range. Here's my prediction. The Magic will win this
Speaker 4: series if they can shoot thirty five percent or better
Speaker 4: from three point range.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they could do it. And they
Speaker 2: could do that, they're the series. You're on the record there.
Speaker 2: Doug Lightning found out when their first playoff game, it'll
Speaker 2: be home on Tuesday. They don't play until Tuesday, hosting
Speaker 2: your Panthers Bulldog.
