Speaker 1: What is going on tonight?
Speaker 4: Well, first and foremost, Coach Crumb was such a special person.
Speaker 4: Obviously everybody knows that, especially to the Louisville Bats and
Speaker 4: Louisville Redbirds organizations as I've been there, and I mean
Speaker 4: there was always never a time I could just reach
Speaker 4: out and ask him for a favor, and he graciously,
Speaker 4: without even hesitating, take care of it. So much so
Speaker 4: that he would have our players over to his home
Speaker 4: on Saturday mornings when our team was at home and
Speaker 4: let them fish in his private pond. And while our
Speaker 4: guys are out there fishing, basically pulling a fish out
Speaker 4: about every three seconds because Coach Crumb's pond was so
Speaker 4: well stocked, I mean you could basically walk up to it,
Speaker 4: whistle and a fish would jump out. He'd take my
Speaker 4: twins and take them into his entertainment room and put
Speaker 4: on cartoons on the giant screen and start making them breakfast.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's just the kind of guy Coach Crumb was,
Speaker 4: so he'd meant a lot to us, and I thought, this,
Speaker 4: what we're doing tonight would be a special way to
Speaker 4: kind of say thank you. And we've created a unbelievable
Speaker 4: Denny Crumb bobblehead that folks can get by either being
Speaker 4: a Bats season ticket holder, whether you're a full season

Speaker 1: would do anything for anybody. I mean that you and
Speaker 1: the breakfast is that you were talking about. He used

Speaker 1: Coach Crumb used to cook you and Frankie breakfasts. They'd
Speaker 1: be running around his pool, his indoor pool where the
Speaker 1: bear used to be screaming at the bear and run
Speaker 1: back out. So I used to say, any boys, boys,
Speaker 1: sit down, and Coach used to tell me leave them
Speaker 1: boys alone. And he cooked the same pancakes.
Speaker 2: Do you remember, Anthony, I don't remember that at all,
Speaker 2: because you're too young.
Speaker 1: You're going that's why you were scared of the bear.
Speaker 1: You had to ask your brother. Your mother knows, but

Speaker 1: the beginning of my show, sometimes they watch well, George,
Speaker 1: this is so funny. Wait till after the break, guys,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read to you all the Curier Journal interpretation
Speaker 1: of what happened and the National news interpretation. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: read them both to you because they won't tell my
Speaker 1: friends the truth here all the time. Eve Sports Radio
Speaker 1: will be back after the break. Welcome back to Eves
Speaker 1: Sports Radio seven thirty six, May the ninth, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: It's Friday. I've got the one and only George Williams,
Speaker 1: the one and only Anthony Eves and all our friends. Now, guys,
Speaker 1: this is what I've been telling you all for ten years.
Speaker 1: This is what has gotten me in trouble. George. I'm
Speaker 1: going to rea verbatim verbatim. When I got off the internet,
Speaker 1: National News, and when I got out of the Curier Journal,
Speaker 1: I want you all to hear it. I'm gonna let
Speaker 1: little Anthony be first, Georgia. I'll let you shut it
Speaker 1: down after that, because we got a caller on the
Speaker 1: George that can't wait to speak with you. Book. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about that in a second. But i want people
Speaker 1: to understand. Listen to the wording. Words mean things, people.
Speaker 1: And I've read this newspaper. I've read to you all
Speaker 1: things out of National News because words means things, and
Speaker 1: sometimes they won't give you this true skinny. So here's
Speaker 1: the deal. And today's Courier front page it's talking about
Speaker 1: Louisville and it's scheduling, it's coming together, just like we
Speaker 1: spoke about Kentucky's yesterday George, we went all through Kentucky's schedule. Great,
Speaker 1: no problem. Last night on national news, I told Anthony, Oh,
Speaker 1: something's going on with the a SEC scheduling. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna say yet.
Speaker 2: This is last night.
Speaker 1: I was reading it. Then I get the paper today
Speaker 1: and I start to read the Cure Journal. I said,
Speaker 1: it's got to be in here because it came out
Speaker 1: early yesterday. ACC basketball schedule change. Leagues moves to eighteen
Speaker 1: game slate. I'm reading you out verbatim, and when you
Speaker 1: are to listen to how things are given to you
Speaker 1: locally compared to nationally, The ACC is moving back to
Speaker 1: an eighteen game conference schedule. Commissioner Jim Phillips said the
Speaker 1: changes the direct result of our ongoing strategic review and
Speaker 1: analysts and to provide our schools a better balance of
Speaker 1: non conference and conference games while also allowing them more
Speaker 1: anonymity and the scheduling process. Okay, under the new format,
Speaker 1: SEC teams have been assigned a primary partner, Louisville is SMU. Okay,
Speaker 1: so they gave it to you that they're moving back
Speaker 1: to games. George. It's a little more flexibility non conference
Speaker 1: and conference games, more anonymity, Okay, here's national. I'm reading
Speaker 1: this verbatim. The Atlantic Coast Conference is hoping it's men's
Speaker 1: basketball program trades two fewer league games for Marquee non
Speaker 1: conference matchups in the effort to reverse the dwelling hall
Speaker 1: of NCAA tournament bids. The league announced Winsday it is
Speaker 1: reducing from twenty men's games basketball scheduled at eighteen. The
Speaker 1: change comes from Conference Jim Phillips spoke about spending the
Speaker 1: past two season examining the condrum of ACC getting fewer bids.
Speaker 1: George Anthony, do you see what I mean? So at George,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you shut it down. But Anthony, do
Speaker 1: you see what I've been trying to tell people. The
Speaker 1: Courier Journal and National News Jerry's has been telling you
Speaker 1: your league stinks. So now your league dropped two conference
Speaker 1: games the best league ten years ago in the country,
Speaker 1: so they can play Marquee nine conference games. The Louisville
Speaker 1: just added Memphis. I'm so happy about that.
Speaker 2: They add me too.
Speaker 1: Penya Hardaway come back. I'm glad about that. But George Anthony, Anthony,
Speaker 1: do you I want you the young one and George
Speaker 1: out thoort to you second, Anthony, you see and understand
Speaker 1: now what I tell people and all my listeners the
Speaker 1: difference between how they give it to you and Louisville. Now, Anthy,
Speaker 1: what do you think now that you've heard both sides,
Speaker 1: you've been on the show a while, what do you
Speaker 1: think were they being deceptive with the curer journal or
Speaker 1: were they giving you the real skinny?
Speaker 3: I don't know, obviously. I know, let's say a lot
Speaker 3: of louis fans, even the career journal, I think sometimes
Speaker 3: we're in denial a little bit. As living in U
Speaker 3: of L. We won't always say that we're at the
Speaker 3: top of Mecca, that we're in the best conference in basketball,
Speaker 3: which we were on.
Speaker 1: It used to be. It used to be, no Anthony,
Speaker 1: no question. It was not the SEC, it was the ACC.
Speaker 1: It used to be, but it's not now. There was
Speaker 1: no question about it in twenty thirteen fourteen when they
Speaker 1: went in the league, no question, But not now. That's all.
Speaker 1: So you're right, people are in denial, George Williams, you
Speaker 1: got to hear it.
Speaker 2: You tell me, well, Jerry, First of all, it starts
Speaker 2: out when you win fifteen to nineteen games in a row,
Speaker 2: and it doesn't move you up in the polls. It
Speaker 2: should tell you a whole lot about what your conference
Speaker 2: is about and what people think about your conference, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. So that's the first thing you
Speaker 2: should tell you. You should tell you when you got
Speaker 2: a conference that you got only one team that's in
Speaker 2: the top tier and you had a conference where, you know, Jerry,
Speaker 2: for almost twenty years the NCAA Championship ran through that
Speaker 2: the Big East you know me out of the SEC.
Speaker 2: So you know, it tells you right there. And now
Speaker 2: when you're not even on the radar of anybody, you
Speaker 2: got some of the best talent in the country not
Speaker 2: going to your conference. I mean you think, I mean
Speaker 2: you really only team that you can think of really
Speaker 2: in the ACC this year that had a player that
Speaker 2: everybody talks about it was Slack and do I mean
Speaker 2: you know that was your past. Every team in the
Speaker 2: ACC had a draft pick. You know, you almost thought
Speaker 2: that what twelve players were going to be coming out
Speaker 2: of one conference, And now I don't know how many
Speaker 2: came out, That's what I'm saying. Up until about about
Speaker 2: seven years ago, you had at least eight coming out,
Speaker 2: you know, And I mean every year and We talked
Speaker 2: about it since we've been together. Every year it has
Speaker 2: gone down and doing them. We kept saying what they're
Speaker 2: gonna do, what they're gonna do. And you look at
Speaker 2: the coaching ranks. None of the great coaches in the conference.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. It tells you, well, why not.
Speaker 2: They want to be where they can win. So it
Speaker 2: just speaks for itself. Jerry, I see why they did that.
Speaker 2: They had to.
Speaker 1: It does so I've been telling you all, guys, they
Speaker 1: eliminated two conference games. They have to bolster their non
Speaker 1: conference schedule. They have to start to play and beat
Speaker 1: the SEC, the Big Ten, the Big twelve. They have
Speaker 1: to that's what they have to do. So they eliminated
Speaker 1: two conference games so that they're not playing the Boston
Speaker 1: College is. Like sort said, it doesn't help them to
Speaker 1: be When you win seventeen games in a row, sixteen
Speaker 1: out of seventeen, and you're still ranked twenty first in
Speaker 1: the country, it lets you know something has drastically happened
Speaker 1: to your league. Well, now the commissioner, George has shown
Speaker 1: everyone he dropped two games in go out and play people.
Speaker 2: We have to Dar, I said, one thing.
Speaker 1: It's about money. Go ahead, go ahead, George.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it tells you another thing. Yeah, the reason that
Speaker 2: the conference got in the positions that it was when
Speaker 2: it did play teams outside of the conference. Last year,
Speaker 2: they got the short I mean, they got the charger.
Speaker 2: I may it may be a bad move for them.
Speaker 2: They have to do, I mean, if you think about it,
Speaker 2: because last year, Yeah, the thing that held them back
Speaker 2: was outside the conference, and then the inside of the
Speaker 2: conference schedule. You know, they said you couldn't be nobody
Speaker 2: outside the conference. And then look at the team. Certain
Speaker 2: teams they don't win no games in the conference. So
Speaker 2: it's basically a three horse race the whole year in
Speaker 2: the ACC.
Speaker 1: No, you're right, Duke Louisville. George. They had to force
Speaker 1: teams to player and George, and they're going to have
Speaker 1: to beat those teams or you're That's what I'm saying that, George.
Speaker 1: You have to You got no choice. The George, the
Speaker 1: old ACC could maybe shot away, George, they have no choice.
Speaker 1: Now they got three teams. The ACC had three n
Speaker 1: CAA tournament bids. At least ever, you're incent were correct.
Speaker 1: They did not defeat none conference opponents at a high rate.
Speaker 1: They did not Clemson, and the Kentucky win is one
Speaker 1: of the very few wins the conference got out of
Speaker 1: non conference play of a quality opponent. George. They had
Speaker 1: no choice but to Memphis. Why do y'all think Memphis
Speaker 1: is here? And I'm glad, I'm so happy they had
Speaker 1: to go and find quality opponents and play them, George,
Speaker 1: because playing themselves, Z George, that's awful when playing drop
Speaker 1: at AC two games to say, go find quality opponents. Guys,
Speaker 1: I've been telling you all this, but the local media
Speaker 1: is not again. The ACC is moving back to an
Speaker 1: eighteen game schedule, Commissioner Jay and the change is a
Speaker 1: direct result, hode of George of a strategic review and
Speaker 1: analysts ongoing strategic review and analysts. He's not telling you
Speaker 1: we got to beat some teams. We're allful. We can't
Speaker 1: have three bids. That's why. That's the part that I
Speaker 1: hate about my local news, George. So then when they
Speaker 1: hear Jerry Eves, they're saying, you're a hater, you wish
Speaker 1: your kids played at louisvill You you want to be
Speaker 1: the coach whatever. Yes, I did want all the things.
Speaker 1: But then when I read the national news to him,
Speaker 1: uh oh, they give it to you straight. The a
Speaker 1: SEC Conference is hoping it's men's basketball program trades two
Speaker 1: fewer league games for Marquee non conference matchups in the
Speaker 1: effort to reverse the dwelling halls of NCAA tournament bids.
Speaker 2: You know, Jerry, all that you said, you know, the
Speaker 2: big word that came out, hope, hope, hope for that,
Speaker 2: I mean for commence, the bigger than c J. Come on,
Speaker 2: think about that. They gotta say stuff like and then
Speaker 2: what made it also bad? Jay? Even watching the game
Speaker 2: they accomplished, you knew it was bad, you know. You
Speaker 2: you watch some of the teams play man, and one
Speaker 2: week they look like the house on fire. Next week
Speaker 2: they come and play a team that was worse the
Speaker 2: team that played the week before and loose. Yes, how
Speaker 2: did that work?
Speaker 1: It is? Well, it worked because the old Notre Dame
Speaker 1: of Digger Phelps is not the Notre Dame of today.
Speaker 1: That's oh nope, George, I mean the old North Carolina
Speaker 1: of the old days, Phil Forward is not the North
Speaker 1: Carolina of today. The NC State of the n C
Speaker 1: champions is not the state of today. George Seria with
Speaker 1: Jim Bayhive is not the Carmelo Anthony. They are not
Speaker 1: getting the dynamic players. That's bottom line. So guys, we're
Speaker 1: gonna go to break seven forty six. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we a telephone call that wants to talk to George
Speaker 1: Williams after the Bruks. Talk to you in a minute.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Eves Sports Radio seven fifty George Williams,
Speaker 1: Anthony Eves And again I'm gonna let it go. Then
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring on our caller for George Anthony. But
Speaker 1: I want people to hear the Curier journal better balance
Speaker 1: of non conference and conference games will also allowing them
Speaker 1: more autonomy and the scheduling process. National News two fewer
Speaker 1: league games for Marquee non conference matchups in the effort
Speaker 1: first the dwindling hall of NCAA tournament bids. That's all
Speaker 1: I wanted to tell people. If you read the Courier,
Speaker 1: you would believe. Okay, they just want to give them
Speaker 1: more opportunities. Know what they're telling them is go get
Speaker 1: real games and beat them because we can't have three
Speaker 1: teams and we're awful. We stink. So George, I got
Speaker 1: a caller wain for you, wait for you. He's gonna
Speaker 1: eat but he's gonna eat you about so, and I
Speaker 1: trying to.
Speaker 2: Get him out of jail too. Try to get him
Speaker 2: out in jail too. A morning.
Speaker 5: Thanks so much for taking my call. I'm gonna make
Speaker 5: a short and simple mister Eves. I'm very disappointed with you. Okay,
Speaker 5: let me tell you why I am so disappointed with you.

Speaker 5: to your show anymore, because that's why I brought you on.
Speaker 5: You have to there has to be some sort of entertainment,
Speaker 5: mister miss I almost called you, mister Finebaum. Please, I

Speaker 5: Everybody would call the show six to seven thirty and
Speaker 5: we just have a little fun and I have some
Speaker 5: work to do. So your tribal chief is going to
Speaker 5: hang up and I'm gonna say this, haters, you're not
Speaker 5: even in my league. Roll ac roll hollow.
Speaker 2: He said about me Ja after honest, you don't try
Speaker 2: to George.
Speaker 1: Sen me the email last night. This is Jerry.
Speaker 2: I gotta leave, man.
Speaker 1: You just born me. I said, well, Ac, you've been
Speaker 1: boring me for years, but I still let you come on.
Speaker 2: As you.
Speaker 1: He says, you know what, I need them to compete
Speaker 1: against me, the chief, I said, Ac, if I could
Speaker 1: put you in a crowd, they would hang you. It'd
Speaker 1: be a lynch mob. I have to keep them away
Speaker 1: from you.
Speaker 2: Oh, he said, that's a.
Speaker 1: He's one and only George. He's the one George you've got.
Speaker 1: Chuck Burn is going to the G League. I've seen that,
Speaker 1: which is the ninth through the eleventh. If he plays well,
Speaker 1: he can advance to the Big Boy to the real
Speaker 1: league camp both of them held in Chicago. So let's wish.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's the best you think he does.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 2: That's a odd one, Jerry. I mean, you know, you
Speaker 2: know then of Coase. You know, it depends on what
Speaker 2: team picks you and for what needs they need, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. I think he's outstanding, smart point guard,
Speaker 2: but you know, I think his size will hurt him,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And his speed I think
Speaker 2: it's side and the speed may hurt him. And so
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means if he'll going not Jerry,
Speaker 2: but I think he has some skills. I think he
Speaker 2: had a great season. I think he will continue to
Speaker 2: play ball somewhere, but I don't know if it'll be
Speaker 2: in the big league, you know, but I think he
Speaker 2: will complete to play, but I don't know if he
Speaker 2: did not to nothing but the best.
Speaker 1: Great change of pace player, right, very good at backing
Speaker 1: players down in college. But that's not happening in the pros.
Speaker 1: That's not understand that's not even an issue. He'll never
Speaker 1: back down another player other than when he was playing
Speaker 1: in college.
Speaker 2: So we have to see how his game more and
Speaker 2: getting posted up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll be posting him up that he'll find out.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, size and speed in the league. So George, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm kind of interested in watching it.
Speaker 2: But this year, George, you know, Jerry, Jerry attended a
Speaker 2: small guard in the NBA is about sixty three and
Speaker 2: Chucky is about maybe six foot maybe six foot okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: so yeah, yeah, well he's got his hands for he
Speaker 2: just needs to work off, put his head down and
Speaker 2: just go for what you know. You know, you get
Speaker 2: an opportunity, that's all you should have an answer. You're
Speaker 2: gett an opportunity, So make the best of the opportunity.
Speaker 2: And you've had a great career, so you know, none
Speaker 2: but the best. And he got his paper, so go
Speaker 2: ahead and enjoy life. But I'm glad you got your chance.
Speaker 1: We're going to do a lot next week the draft.
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag Duke one, you got.
Speaker 2: I like that, young man.
Speaker 1: Yes, I do too. But as I continue to look,
Speaker 1: because we're in Louisville and we're a CEC country here
Speaker 1: in George, there's not another a SEC player to be
Speaker 1: drafted the other Yes, the the Duke center is supposed
Speaker 1: to be drafted in the first round. George. That not
Speaker 1: one other player on the a SEC is supposed to
Speaker 1: go in the first round. I see it.
Speaker 2: And now come off one team, he rode, and now
Speaker 2: come up one team, one team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Duke's got three.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, but that's it.
Speaker 1: There's not another a CEC team that as a player
Speaker 1: and said they're going in the first round pre draft.
Speaker 1: We're not saying this is correct. They've got Now look
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Row who's at Arkansas. They got
Speaker 1: him twenty sixth and Anthony Walter C.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh I love the Row, Yes, no question, I love Clayton.
Speaker 1: I mean he's a big shot man.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but I'm amazing.
Speaker 1: And they I can't believe it, George, I asked Anthony.
Speaker 1: I just I don't get it. I just don't get it.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the kid had to do other
Speaker 1: than that ball comes out of his hands like Darryl Griffith.
Speaker 1: He's got the softest jump shot in the world. But George, no, it.
Speaker 2: Must be off court, must be personality or something's happy,
Speaker 2: something else he's doing to tak him that low, I know.
Speaker 1: And then we've got Proctor is number fifty. He's also
Speaker 1: a duke product. That's four guys, acc go get some
Speaker 1: real players, some draftable players, and bring yourself back to relevancy.
Speaker 1: That's all.
Speaker 2: That's the bottom line. That's what has to happen.
Speaker 1: All a SEC teams have to do with University of
Speaker 1: Louisville did this year. They got to turn it around.
Speaker 1: They got to start winning. So guys, have a great weekend. George,
