Speaker 1: I opened the sports page with The Orlando Sentinel at
Speaker 1: FM ninety six to nine, The games Mike the Bulldog
Speaker 1: Beyond You on jr R.
Speaker 2: The Bulldog Sports Page brought you by Kaufman and Lynt
Speaker 2: Entry Attorneys. Good morning, Michael, Good morning, gents. How are you?
Speaker 3: I know you guys are happy. I'm sure Taco has
Speaker 3: the magic sign back out in his front yard, because
Speaker 3: that was more like it last night.
Speaker 4: That was Orlando Magic basketball last night.
Speaker 3: Came out against the struggling Sixers, flipped the switch and
Speaker 3: looked like the gritty, gutty, defensive minded team they've been
Speaker 3: all season. Of course, the game before they got they
Speaker 3: got just you know, outshot in the game before and
Speaker 3: did not play good defense last night, though they beat
Speaker 3: the Sixers one O six one Oho too. The Fronds
Speaker 3: a thirty five points last night. That's his second straight
Speaker 3: thirty plus point game. I think that's his What is that?
Speaker 3: That's his eight straight game of scoring at least twenty points.
Speaker 3: The guy is proving he's an All star. He was
Speaker 3: twelve to twenty three last night. You know what I
Speaker 3: love about the Franz as well? Everything I do love
Speaker 3: everything about the Frother jacket, the motorcycle, the whole deal. Yeah,
Speaker 3: the respects of mister Cunningham. Yeah, he definitely has not
Speaker 3: jumped the shark like the fawns did. But he makes
Speaker 3: his free throws. The guy makes his free throws. Made
Speaker 3: all ten of his free throws last night. Not enough
Speaker 3: guys shoot a good percentage of free throws in the NBA.
Speaker 3: You know the Franz works on that, so good for him.
Speaker 2: You alluded to it, But to be fair, the seventy
Speaker 2: six ers are quite depleted right now. So yeah.
Speaker 1: And also you alluded to the sign in my front
Speaker 1: yard that has since gone. But I do have the
Speaker 1: magnet on the back of my car. All right there,
Speaker 1: you get there, you get. Speaking of the NBA, Hey, Lakers,
Speaker 1: how did that taste? How did that taste? One thirty
Speaker 1: four to ninety three. The Lakers go down in flames
Speaker 1: last night to the Miami Heat.
Speaker 4: I'm a little torn.
Speaker 3: You know how much I hate the Lakers, but I
Speaker 3: don't gotta laugh when the Lakers get beat. I do
Speaker 3: feel bad though, for our boy JJ Reddick, who's the
Speaker 3: coach of the Lakers. Lakers are not playing well right now.
Speaker 3: They started out good, but I think they've lost six
Speaker 3: of eight, and they've lost those six games by an
Speaker 3: average of twenty two points per game. So they're getting
Speaker 3: absolutely emasculated out on the floor.
Speaker 2: That's it's kind of happened to a nicer bunch of guys. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And you know it's even better with that loss last
Speaker 1: night is that it's Lebron's former team.
Speaker 4: That's right, the heatles.
Speaker 2: Forty one points. Jesus man. Let's let's let's put that
Speaker 2: in football terms. Would that be like a sixty three
Speaker 2: to nothing drubbing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say it would be worse.
Speaker 2: Really, Okay, all right, I'll take that anyway.
Speaker 4: The UCF coaching rumors are out there.
Speaker 3: Lynch text me yesterday, Hey, have you heard the John
Speaker 3: Gruden rumor about John Gruden?
Speaker 2: I don't buy that. I don't buy it at all.
Speaker 2: I don't buy any of it.
Speaker 3: I mean, there were a lot of reports yesterday that
Speaker 3: UCF had had reached out the Lincoln Riley of USC.
Speaker 2: Why the world would he leave USC to go to UCF.
Speaker 4: Well, he's he's struggling at USC.
Speaker 3: They were six and six this year, but he's got
Speaker 3: fifty three million dollars left on his contract.
Speaker 4: I don't think he's gonna walk out.
Speaker 3: I'm fifty three million dollars to take a three or
Speaker 3: four million dollar year job at UCF. Not that UCA.
Speaker 4: It's not a good job.
Speaker 2: But come on now, and do you see John Gruden
Speaker 2: wanting to deal with the realities of the portal and nilt.
Speaker 1: No, but he'd hire somebody to do that stuff.
Speaker 3: I'm so John Gruden, John Gruden, if he wants to
Speaker 3: get back in the coaching, he's gonna.
Speaker 4: Have to get back in the coaching, right, I like, so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't I wouldn't object to them hiring a
Speaker 3: retread coach like Jim bow Fisher or Dan Mullen who's
Speaker 3: hungry to get back in. I don't know about John Gruden.
Speaker 3: He's got in coach college ever. I saw the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1: I saw Mullen yesterday and in an interview, and he's like,
Speaker 1: why would I leave this? And of course he's you know,
Speaker 1: it's tongue in cheek. He probably already is talking to
Speaker 1: all these schools. But he's like, you see f Ford
Speaker 1: and he mentioned the other two big schools where and
Speaker 1: he's like, well, why would I leave this fun job
Speaker 1: to go deal with the stress, and he went into
Speaker 1: the whole thing up.
Speaker 2: He goes the night before.
Speaker 1: You don't sleep, and then he goes, I get done
Speaker 1: with this show.
Speaker 2: I have a win every time, and I sleep at night. Well,
Speaker 2: the coaching position would add a few zeros to the paycheck. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but he's already gotten zeros, you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: He evidently he's made a bunch of money in investments
Speaker 3: as well. I wrote my notes Callum today Orlando Sentinel
Speaker 3: dot com.
Speaker 4: You can read it.
Speaker 3: By the way, I compile a list of the UCF
Speaker 3: coaching candidates year ready for it. Lincoln Riley, Scott Frost,
Speaker 3: Jamie Chadwell, Dan Mullin, jimbo Fisher, John Gruden, Urban Meyer,
Speaker 3: Kirby Smart, Bill Belichick, Stan Van Gundee, Tiger woods Dale
Speaker 3: Earnhardt Jr. And Foghorn Leghorn. Those are your candidates, right.
Speaker 3: It's amazing all the rumors out there. So I told
Speaker 3: you to put coach coach Mark Daniels in there. It
Speaker 3: would be hard to call the game and coach the game.
Speaker 3: But if there's somebody that could do it, he could
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 2: How did a signing day end up turning out for UCF?
Speaker 4: Not good? No, not good.
Speaker 3: I think they signed a total of seven recruits yesterday.
Speaker 3: There's seventy second in the country. According to these you know,
Speaker 3: sort of arbitrary recruiting rankings twenty four to seven sports
Speaker 3: dot Com, I think is the most reliable. They ranked
Speaker 3: UCF number seventy two in the country. That's ten spots
Speaker 3: behind usfyay, So that just goes to show you not
Speaker 3: a very good recruiting class for UCF. The usual suspects
Speaker 3: were at the top, Texas number one, followed by Alabama, Georgia, Oregon,
Speaker 3: Ohio State. The top ten had eight SEC schools in at.
Speaker 3: Florida was number eleven, Miami was number fourteen, FSU was
Speaker 3: number twenty five. And as we mentioned, you see if
Speaker 3: number seventy two ouch, yeah, yeah, not good.
Speaker 4: What else?
Speaker 1: Ye once we if we get a solid coach here
Speaker 1: at U SEF, then all of a sudden, people start
Speaker 1: you know transferred.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you to have a coach. That's kind of good question.
Speaker 2: Hey, real quick. Thursday night football tonight, we got a
Speaker 2: banger with the Packers and the Lions. Bulldog.
Speaker 4: I know that's in Detroit. I think Detroit will probably
Speaker 4: win that game.
