I've been to the State Fair 24 00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.239 other than for a concert at least twice, but I 25 00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:31.640 usually go for shows that I'm interested in. 26 00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:32.640 Yeah, the State Fair. 27 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:34.680 Like I can go to the State Fair and not 28 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.920 have anything really playing, right, I could be there and 29 00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:40.920 it not be about any concert, could not be about 30 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.640 any food. You know, might not even make an appearance 31 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.079 in the Beard ten. I ain't just walk around the 32 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:51.959 State Fair honestly, from August fifteenth till August twenty fifth 33 00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:56.040 every day and be entertained and not be bored, because 34 00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.120 that's just there's just something about the State Fair is 35 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.760 that is amazing. But anyways, we hope to have an 36 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:04.719 amazing show today. That's what we're going to try to do. 37 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.200 I can't guarantee that that's what's gonna happen, but that 38 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:09.240 is going to be the goal today, and we do 39 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.400 it every other day, so why not make it happen today? 40 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:13.039 Right?

On my way 48 00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:36.879 into the studio today, got my three Monster Energy drinks 49 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.039 because they've got a good special going on right now. 50 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.479 You get three of them for seven bucks. And I 51 00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.639 also made my way over to see the food options. 52 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.800 Usually when I'm there in the mornings, it's doughnuts, breakfast sandwiches, 53 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.560 that kind of stuff, which very delicious. I've said it 54 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.840 many times, why not say it once more. The sausage, 55 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.439 egg and cheese croissan at Thornton's is the best breakfast 56 00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.800 sandwich you'll find. But they got a couple of items 57 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:03.120 on on the lunch menu essentially that I. 58 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:03.879 Hadn't seen before. 59 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.919 Got some pretzel bites with I believe cheese dip that 60 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:10.240 goes with it that look delicious. Little mini tacos as well, 61 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.199 And if you like, you know, a good old fashioned 62 00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:15.199 hot dog, you can get them for a buck and 63 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.400 you don't have to pull them off like the roller grill. 64 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.400 They've already got them freshly made there in the aluminum foil. 65 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.080 You go up, you scan it at the self checkout, 66 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.360 and it's just a buck. So again, I mean, I 67 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:27.120 haven't even mentioned that you get to save money every 68 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.840 time you get gas. So if you're not a Refreshing 69 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.599 Awards member at Thornton's, I suggest you change that. 70 00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:32.439 It's easy to do. 71 00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:35.960 Download the app on your iPhone you're Android, and you'll 72 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:40.240 be living life the right way with that membership to 73 00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.759 Thornton's Refreshment Awards. We'll all be Refreshment Awards members together, 74 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.439 all right. So I guess we have to start with 75 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.680 something that is in fact a big story I think 76 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:56.719 kind of a big deal maybe, and that is that 77 00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.319 the coach who just won the most recent now national 78 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:04.960 championship in college football, who doesn't coach in college football 79 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:08.919 anymore and never will, he's been hammered by the nc 80 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:13.599 double A kind of. So the NCAA announced earlier today 81 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:18.079 that they've given Jim Harball a four year show cause 82 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:23.519 order that also includes a one season suspension if he 83 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:25.759 ever decides to come back and coach in college That 84 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:29.759 is from the ncublea's Committee on Infractions that was handed 85 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:33.360 down earlier today. So a lot of people without you know, 86 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:39.399 if you're not plugged into this Michigan scandal stuff closely, 87 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:41.920 if you know, you just know that they had some 88 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.959 shady stuff going on with some signs stealing, some real 89 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:49.439 next level college athletics espionage, you would just assume, well, okay, 90 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:53.240 well that's that's that's what that's for. They finally they 91 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:57.160 finally dropped the hammer on hardball for Connor. Stallion's the 92 00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:01.639 sign stealer and the elaborate planning and funding that went 93 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.839 into cheating that worked. It helped him, But no, that 94 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.160 has nothing to do with this. This punishment from ns 95 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:14.879 DOUAA is due to COVID nineteen dead period recruiting violations. 96 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:17.279 I mean that was four years ago. 97 00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:19.360 That's how long ago. 98 00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:23.360 That was this four years ago, and I mean he 99 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:27.399 got a four year ban because he gave a couple 100 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:31.600 of free meals to some recruits just a few months 101 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.600 before it was legal to actually have the players receive 102 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.560 millions of dollars through NIL, which we all know is 103 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.319 not for nil, but it's just the disguise used to 104 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:45.399 pay for players. So you know, this is a big story, 105 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:49.560 that's but it's it's so silly because Hardball's never coming 106 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.319 back to college again. And I don't even think this 107 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.040 punishment is the reason he's never coming back to college again. 108 00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:59.560 He did what he wanted to do. He brought a. 109 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:03.720 Champion ship to Michigan. He's a Michigan man. Didn't get 110 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.720 off to a great start. But I believe that when 111 00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:10.839 Harpball took the job at Michigan again, that was a 112 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:12.680 long time ago. Let me pull it up here, because 113 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.600 I feel I mean, was it was that ten years ago? 114 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:17.639 I mean, I feel like it could be a little 115 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:19.600 bit longer than that. Maybe I'm just crazy here, but yeah, 116 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:23.120 his first season at Michigan was in let's see here, 117 00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:26.519 it was in goodness, gracious, he's got a long Wikipedia 118 00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:29.120 page year. His first season at Michigan was in twenty fifteen, 119 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:30.079 so nine years ago. 120 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:31.319 That was when he got there. 121 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.879 And I remember thinking to myself at the time, man 122 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.279 like this guy like, I can't remember there being a 123 00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:40.720 higher made where expectations were so high. And it's because 124 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.480 it's Stanford, you know, they He was great there. I mean, 125 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:45.800 he gave Stanford some life in football when Andrew luck 126 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.079 was there, of course, and then he goes to the NFL. 127 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:49.839 Does a great job with the Niners. They end up 128 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:52.920 making it to making it to the Super Bowl. I mean, 129 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:56.560 he took it's a guy's name, who didn't Colin Kaepernick 130 00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:00.800 to Colin Kaepernick to the freaking Super Bowl. Soations were high, 131 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.120 and I remember thinking, because everybody was underwhelmed that, like, man, 132 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:07.199 you know that just same thing with Iowa that we 133 00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.519 mentioned every now and then, right John, Like because everybody 134 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:11.839 just makes fun of Io anytime Iowa was being talked 135 00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:14.040 about when it comes to college football in recent years, 136 00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:18.120 it's just them getting completely clowned for how pathetic their 137 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.720 offense is kept me from realizing they actually went a lot, 138 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:24.920 They win a lot of football games. So because Michigan 139 00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:27.720 never got past Ohio State in the first what eight 140 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.439 years that Harball was there, and they never really broke 141 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.360 through and made a playoff that everyone the Big ten, like, 142 00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:34.879 it made me realize that like it made me think 143 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:37.879 that they were actually really struggling, when in fact they 144 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.959 weren't elite like they want to be, but they were 145 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.040 far better than they were before Harball. I mean he 146 00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:45.240 went ten and three, ten and three, eight and five, 147 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:47.560 ten and three, nine and four, those were his first 148 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:51.759 that was his first five seasons. Obviously during the COVID 149 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:53.680 year they were terrible, but so were a lot of teams. 150 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:58.920 And then in twenty twenty one, twelve and two thirteen 151 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:00.600 and one in twenty twenty two, and then of course 152 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:02.759 last year they went I mean, they went undefeated, won 153 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:06.160 the national championship. So you know, he did what he 154 00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:08.279 wanted to do, and now he's back in the NFL, 155 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:12.199 where he probably will reside until he doesn't want to 156 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:17.360 coach anymore. So the punishment is is it is it's 157 00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.079 certainly a newsworthy trusts me, but like this is this 158 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.920 just is another example of the n C Double A 159 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:26.519 being so out of touch and delusional. And we talked 160 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.560 yesterday a great links about how irrelevant the organization that 161 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:32.200 is the NCE double A now appears to be. 162 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:34.559 And I don't know, I don't I don't know. 163 00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.159 I'd love to be a fly on the wall when 164 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.799 they decide to, you know, to and I'm not This 165 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:42.080 is not a defensive harrorball, right, this is not. I mean, 166 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.960 I think it's kind of silly that the recruiting violations 167 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.919 thing like to me, that to me, that sounds almost 168 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:51.639 like like here, here's what I predict they're doing their 169 00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:55.200 investigation on the sign sealing stuff, but they're not gonna 170 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:58.320 have a lot of cooperation from anybody. Therefore, they're not 171 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:02.799 going to be able to really do anything. So I 172 00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.480 just assume that this heavy handed punishment from the NC 173 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:10.799 double A in regards to the recruiting violations during COVID. 174 00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.240 You know that that that that's why the punishment is 175 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:17.639 so severe. But they they know deep down, like they're 176 00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:21.440 they can't do anything, right. I mean, like suspending Jim 177 00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:25.039 Harball from coaching in college football right now when he's 178 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:28.000 got an eighty million dollar contract with the Chargers is 179 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.679 like suspending me from dating Margot Robbie. It's just, you know, 180 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:36.039 it's useless. I mean, it would never happen, right, It's 181 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:41.679 just it's it's it's nonsense. So I don't know if 182 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:45.799 we're gonna get anything from the sound stealing stuff and all. 183 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.120 And it also has me even more so curious about 184 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.639 what Connor Stallions is going to say in this documentary 185 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:55.720 that comes out in the next few weeks, because if 186 00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:58.039 he does, in fact, you know, open up and really 187 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.039 tell all, I mean, I guess they could use that 188 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:01.759 as evidence, But. 189 00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.360 What are they going to give him me Are they 190 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:03.879 going to give him? 191 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:04.000 All? 192 00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:06.840 Right? Now, you're suspended five seasons if you want to 193 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:09.360 come back, I mean, like he'd never come back. 194 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:11.200 It's just silly. 195 00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:18.600 So I'm sure Michigan fans are probably thinking to themselves like, 196 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:24.320 all right, well, this is best case scenario, unless, of course, 197 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:29.600 you know, they're still holding out and fearing that they're 198 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:31.720 going to get hammered from the Connor stallion stuff. 199 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:32.240 I don't know, but. 200 00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:36.159 It seems as if the NAA wanted to really drop 201 00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:38.480 the hammer and maybe maybe we're mid people. 202 00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:39.600 Oh yeah, we're still here. 203 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:43.159 We're still here, and we're not afraid to really hold 204 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:49.320 somebody accountable. We're not afraid to really let everybody know that, 205 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:54.639 despite the perception about this organization that is the NCAA, 206 00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:58.279 we still rule college athletics and we will hold those 207 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:03.120 accountable who don't follow A guidelines and bylaws. But yet, like, 208 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:05.720 what a swing and amiss because again, they're so out 209 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:07.799 of touch and delusional if they really think that that's 210 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:14.399 the message that was conveyed with their decision today. So 211 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:18.080 I mean, there you have it. I think that's the 212 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:21.399 biggest story in college football right now. For obvious reasons, 213 00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:25.759 but like it's just it seems worthless. It really does, 214 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.480 because you know, he's he hasn't even coached a game 215 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:35.759 yet at in the NFL with this new team, the Chargers. 216 00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:40.399 So I mean, it'd be different if you kept your 217 00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:42.519 findings to yourself and you knew that he was trying 218 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:44.080 to get back in the game and then you put 219 00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:45.919 it out there. But like it just to me, I 220 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.399 feel like they thought they were really doing something here 221 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:51.200 and in the end, they just end up doing what 222 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.679 they always do, which is make a complete fool of 223 00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:57.879 themselves and show the lack of awareness and then they're 224 00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:02.200 just delusion. And they've, if anything, they've been consistent about 225 00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.679 everything as far as you know, the perception they've they've 226 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:08.480 they've not been consistent about certain punishments and things like that. 227 00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:10.679 They kind of just you know, they've actually been really 228 00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:12.759 inconsistent when it comes to that kind of stuff. However, 229 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:15.240 as far as just you know, hey, this is what 230 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:21.240 we're doing and these even regardless of how archaic it is, 231 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:23.480 you know, we're not gonna you know, we're not gonna 232 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:24.960 let these athletes make any money. 233 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:26.440 There's twodent athletes and again it. 234 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.840 They're just delusional, and we talked a lot about some 235 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.879 of the examples of that yesterday. So there you have it, 236 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:34.679 all right, If you guys want to join us on 237 00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:37.480 the show today, you can, uh, well, we'll be active 238 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:40.000 of a text line today.

So again, we'll 248 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:04.200 be interactive throughout the day.

But I guess you're a guest 257 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:20.480 even if you're not calling in because you're with us, right. 258 00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:25.039 This is Coffee and Company, myself, Nick Coffee, the company man, 259 00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:29.480 John Olden, and then everybody else who's with us listening 260 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:32.679 of course their company too. So make yourself at home. 261 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:35.759 You are you are our guest here today and hopefully, 262 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:38.799 you know, hopefully every day. All right, I've got to 263 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.960 I was trying to dig this up because the attorney 264 00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:48.840 for Harball has released a statement and it looks like 265 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.720 it was created in Microsoft paint. But I guess he 266 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:55.240 was trying to be cute. See here with a light 267 00:13:55.320 --> 00:14:00.799 blue like a teal background with bright yellow letters, because 268 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:02.519 that's the color of you know, his new team that 269 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.440 is the is the Chargers and not the you know 270 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:08.200 just anyways, and by the way, this lawyer has been 271 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:11.279 pretty outspoken about the n S DOUAA for quite some time. 272 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:14.039 He's been defending Harball throughout you know, these n C 273 00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.879 DOUBLEA allegations, and he's, you know, he's a lawyer that 274 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.960 doesn't just fight in court with you know, the law 275 00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:26.039 and good arguments and all that kind of stuff whatever 276 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:29.919 legal jargon that I'm blanking on. He also does it 277 00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:33.720 on Twitter, which I feel like can't this doesn't benefit anybody, 278 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:36.039 but it does. It does entertain me at times when 279 00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:38.679 you see this happen. But this is a statement in 280 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:42.679 regards to the NC Doublea's the NAA Committee on Infractions decision. 281 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.120 The way I see it from Coach Harball's perspective, Today's 282 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.080 Committee on Infractions decision is like being in college and 283 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.879 getting a letter from your high school saying you've been 284 00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:56.360 suspended because you didn't sign the yearbook. If I were 285 00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:58.720 in Coach Harball's shoes and had an eighty million dollar 286 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.480 contract as the head coach of the Chargers, I wouldn't 287 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:04.679 pay any attention to the findings of a kangaroo court 288 00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:08.080 which claims to be to represent the principles of the 289 00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:14.679 nation's most flagrant, repeat violator of the federal antitrust laws. 290 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:19.320 See again, I don't know if today's decision like does 291 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:22.279 anything in regards to the future. 292 00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:24.200 Of the NC Double A. I mean, I don't mean 293 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:25.480 I doubt it does. 294 00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:29.200 But it's just another pr hit for an organization that, again, 295 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:34.759 I feel like, has seemingly been questioned as far as 296 00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:38.960 their existence, like what served like what purpose do they 297 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:42.679 really serve? In high level college athletics? That's been something 298 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.799 that's been growing, I feel like for well over a decade, 299 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.559 but in the last like five years it's been it's 300 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:51.799 been speeding up in a major major rate as far 301 00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:52.840 as just like, what are we doing here? 302 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:54.919 Why do we need them? Get them out of the way. 303 00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:58.200 We all know this is pro sports now, well, you know, 304 00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:03.440 we'll assign a commissioner of college basketball and college football. 305 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.120 It'll be somebody that the collective institutions vote on and 306 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:11.080 approved to be the leader. That person decides punishment, that 307 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:13.159 kind of stuff. They build a team like, we don't 308 00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:16.879 need the NCAA. And again, I say that talking about 309 00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:20.320 the highest level that is quite clearly and very much 310 00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:24.720 blatantly in your face, high dollar, billion dollar business of 311 00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:27.440 professional sports. It's in college I mean it is, but 312 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:30.080 it's not, you know what I mean. So here's the 313 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:39.120 exact here's the exact wording from the COI Harball quote, 314 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:43.440 violated recruiting and inducement rules, engaging in an unethical conduct, 315 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:46.519 failed to promoted atmosphere of compliance, and violated head coach 316 00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:52.759 responsibility obligations. And there's more that I think I'm trying 317 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:54.080 to want to read through it because it would be 318 00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:55.960 boring and nobody really cares, and it just I feel 319 00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:58.519 like I've already wasted sixteen seventeen minutes of the show anyways, 320 00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:00.840 because this is such a stupid pun that just doesn't 321 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:04.279 actually serve any purpose at all. But him and his 322 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:08.680 attorney refusing to even like engage in any conversation with 323 00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:12.759 the Committee on Infractions about all this stuff is I 324 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:15.440 believe another factor in why they decided to drop the hammer. 325 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.599 But again, did you really do anything at all here? 326 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:21.240 Because the guy's not going to be coaching in college 327 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:25.720 and will have no interest in doing that. Do you 328 00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:28.759 think if he was still at Michigan they would have 329 00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:31.920 done this. That's a good question, because I don't think 330 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:35.680 they would have. I know, I think that's probably what 331 00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:37.799 they would have done. They sort of stayed quiet. 332 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:42.720 And here's the only thing where this maybe would bite 333 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:44.920 Michigan in the butt in the future is if Sharon 334 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:46.839 Moore just sucks as a head coach and they wish 335 00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:49.680 they had Jim Harball back. I think Sharon Moore will 336 00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:52.680 do fine, But that's the only scenario where I see 337 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:55.799 the NCAA getting the win from a punishment like that. 338 00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.240 Yeah, I mean, I feel like if Harball was still there, 339 00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:02.880 he clearly if you any any I mean, he would 340 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:05.200 be cooperating with the NC double A because he would 341 00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:07.799 have to because Michigan would I mean, I think Michigan 342 00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:10.640 would have to make him and and whatnot, and maybe 343 00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:12.400 maybe that alone would lead to where he wouldn't have 344 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:14.799 been hit with this this level of a punishment. However, 345 00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:18.200 I just believe that the NC double A thought they 346 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:21.079 really did something big here and that like they had 347 00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:24.279 no clue that everybody would be mocking them, as if 348 00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:26.680 like you really like that, that's so silly you punish 349 00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:31.400 somebody who like, it's not really a punishment. That's not 350 00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:33.039 to say that like they should have just ignored it, 351 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:36.039 But I don't know, like, if he's not interested in 352 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.200 it's pretty common. I suppose, like, for example, nobody in 353 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:42.240 the world was ever going to hire Andrew McGee, but 354 00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:43.039 he got a show. 355 00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:46.920 Cause right because of obvious things. So I don't know. 356 00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:49.720 It just to me, the severity. 357 00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:54.079 Of it was was was there because they wanted to 358 00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:56.920 make it look as if hey will still drop the hammer, 359 00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:00.200 don't let the perception out there about our organization and 360 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.839 fool you about what's really going on. We will hold 361 00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:05.480 people accountable, but you didn't because the guy doesn't. He 362 00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:08.039 doesn't work for you, and he's work under your umbrella anymore, 363 00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:10.200 and he never will. And everybody knows that, and you 364 00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:13.960 know that too, So you're not fooling anybody, clowns. 365 00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:16.119 All right, we are loaded. The rest of the way, 366 00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:17.039 we're gonna have some fun. 367 00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:20.039 And I mean it when I say have some fun 368 00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:23.240 because I found something earlier today that really fascinated me 369 00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:24.960 when it comes to the Olympics, and it has nothing 370 00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:27.920 to do with any gold medals or anything like that. 371 00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:30.519 It is jobs at the Olympics that I did not 372 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:36.319 know existed, which kind of cool to be honest with you. Also, 373 00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:40.400 we've got a good old fashioned Twitter feud going on 374 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:49.720 here between Colorado's social media accounts Prime essentially and Arkansas, 375 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:52.720 who I think is the winner right now, And I 376 00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:54.960 got to ask, well, ask John of course when we 377 00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:57.319 get to it, and you guys can chime in as well. 378 00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:00.519 It's not a big deal, but Colorado did something with 379 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:02.640 some social media content that I think is like the 380 00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:03.839 lamest thing you could do. 381 00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:07.079 It's just corny. But then again, like, what did what did? 382 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:08.440 What did Dan Lanning say? 383 00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:12.119 About him, like you know, they're the the these something 384 00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:15.880 about yeah yeah, and this game they're gonna be played 385 00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:18.440 in Hollywood or something like that. Like I mean, it's 386 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:21.880 really not surprising because again we're talking about about Colorado, 387 00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.160 so we can get into that. And uh, also, you know, 388 00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:26.799 just just. 389 00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:28.519 Mix it up today. It's we're gonna do We're gonna 390 00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:29.000 have some fun. 391 00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:31.240 Is Arkansas's fan base do they just get into it 392 00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:32.720 with everybody? Because I know they kind of have the 393 00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:35.400 new rivalry with Kentucky and then you got this with Colorado. 394 00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:41.519 Well, yes, Arkansas's fan base, uh is a lot larger 395 00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:45.839 than I think most people realized until Like Kentucky fans, 396 00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:50.079 I've always known Arkansas has a big fan base, but 397 00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:53.000 you you really saw a lot of them whenever Kentucky 398 00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:55.640 Cali Perry left Kentucky to got Arkansas, because then it 399 00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:58.359 became like, you know, a war between Big Blue Nation 400 00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:02.200 and hog Nation. And I think Kentucky fans were a 401 00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:04.920
