Speaker 2: three again five oh two four three eight nine zero
Speaker 2: seven three. So I did mention this earlier in the show,
Speaker 2: and I just was reminded as I was scrolling through
Speaker 2: Facebook here.
Speaker 3: On my phone.
Speaker 2: So, Duan Wee, former Louisville basketball player, a Louisville legend.
Speaker 2: He was named the head basketball coach at Simmons College
Speaker 2: earlier today, which is awesome. I joked, maybe it's not
Speaker 2: a joke though, that my wife's gonna have a tough
Speaker 2: time knowing that I'm gonna take all the money that
Speaker 2: we've set aside for our college, for college for our
Speaker 2: kids when they get older. I'm gonna take all that
Speaker 2: money and I'm gonna throw at it. I'm gonna, actually
Speaker 2: what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna take it and I'm
Speaker 2: gonna create n nil collective Fordwan Wheat at Simmons College.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be the bag man. We're gonna be handing
Speaker 2: out bags, Moose, no college for you. Simmons College has
Speaker 2: got a only only college. You're going to Simmons. We're
Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna commit to Dewan Wheat right now. And
Speaker 2: I say that jokingly, but Dwaan Wheat is I mean,
Speaker 2: and I'm sure everybody listening, if you really give it
Speaker 2: some thought, think back to you as a as a child,
Speaker 2: you probably have someone that just because of maybe the
Speaker 2: niche that you you were really into. For me, it
Speaker 2: was louisvill basketball, not that it was a niche around here,
Speaker 2: but like you know, louis basketball is not like the
Speaker 2: Bowls of the nineties, although it was the same era.
Speaker 2: But I mean, when I first fell in love with
Speaker 2: Louisville it was it was that team Dewan. I mean
Speaker 2: I remember due in those guys prior to ninety six
Speaker 2: ninety seven, but the ninety six ninety seventeen one was
Speaker 2: really good. But also it was the first time I realized, Hey,
Speaker 2: this is this is this is different now, Like I'm
Speaker 2: insanely sad if they lose. And like I think I
Speaker 2: was old enough and I'd been committed long enough to
Speaker 2: being a fan that I had made the emotional connection,
Speaker 2: the emotional investment that you make as a fan, so
Speaker 2: like to this day, like when I talk about Dewan Wheat,
Speaker 2: when I see Dewan Wheat in the news like that,
Speaker 2: and I've been fortunate to meet him and had him
Speaker 2: on the show many years ago. And I'm sure I
Speaker 2: embarrassed myself because I sounded like a little kid talking
Speaker 2: to his hero. I mean I pretended to be him
Speaker 2: when I shot basketball in my driveway as a kid,
Speaker 2: like I idolized Duan Wheat. And to this day, if
Speaker 2: he came here, I would you know, I don't think
Speaker 2: I would, you know, I don't think I would faint
Speaker 2: in his presence.
Speaker 3: But like it was the first athlete.
Speaker 2: For me that I really, really just you know, I idolized.
Speaker 2: And if he walked into and that's just not to
Speaker 2: make him sound old, but if he walked into.
Speaker 3: I don't know, give me.
Speaker 2: A place in Louisville that would be let's just say
Speaker 2: we had a concert tonight at the Young centerah, and
Speaker 2: it was let's say Bruno mars is in town, and
Speaker 2: Duan Wheat was there, and let's say he and his
Speaker 2: lovely daughter are going to be enjoying the concert. There's
Speaker 2: a good chance that a ton of people there would
Speaker 2: not notice him and recognize him one because a lot
Speaker 2: of them are probably younger than me. And I'm just
Speaker 2: old enough to remember him, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I'm thirty six years old. He graduated in nineteen ninety
Speaker 2: seven when I was nine. So you might recognize him
Speaker 2: because he's not just the former Louisville great.
Speaker 3: He does live here. He's a louis He's a Loui Ofvillion.
Speaker 2: But I, you know, I would be in the presence
Speaker 2: of let's just say, you know, I'd be maybe one
Speaker 2: or two percent of the however many people that are
Speaker 2: there that would even know who he is, and I
Speaker 2: would probably you know, initially I think I wouldn't run
Speaker 2: up to him and like, you know, be a lunatic.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't get arrested for being like a crazy stalker.
Speaker 2: But like, it would be a different thing if I saw, like,
Speaker 2: who's the most famous person in the world right now,
Speaker 2: from like a pop culture perspective.
Speaker 4: Well, probably Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2: Like I would no joke, be way more like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, it's still on Wheed. Then I would be,
Speaker 2: oh my god, that's Taylor Swift. And look, there are
Speaker 2: people who I think I wish I had an example.
Speaker 2: I feel like there's one I just I'm blanking on it.
Speaker 2: But somebody that I'm like, I'm not like a big
Speaker 2: fan of I don't really like seek out. But I
Speaker 2: saw them and realized, Okay, I'm in the presence of
Speaker 2: somebody that is insanely fam Who was it, Oh, it
Speaker 2: might have been, uh, it might have been maybe this
Speaker 2: is no way Jeff Bridges is a famous actor, But
Speaker 2: that can't be who I was thinking of because he
Speaker 2: was at Derby and he was just he was just
Speaker 2: among everybody else, Like he wasn't on the red car,
Speaker 2: but he was just kind of walking around. And I
Speaker 2: remember thinking, like, I know people realize that's Jeff Bridges,
Speaker 2: but that's not that's not a good example because yes
Speaker 2: he's famous, but not like not modern like he's still
Speaker 2: famous clearly, but like a lot of the younger generation
Speaker 2: wouldn't probably even know who that is, right, I mean.
Speaker 5: No, I don't think so they probably they wouldn't know
Speaker 5: him as Jeff Bridges. You'd have to say, I've seen that.
Speaker 3: Guy in the movie or something. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So anyways, shout out to Duann week, congratulations and I'm
Speaker 2: gonna be a big time Simmons basketball supporter.
Speaker 5: And you even have the sweet the program yeah of
Speaker 5: your home with the with the.
Speaker 4: Wheaties box cover. It's pretty awesome.
Speaker 2: I had a vintage like nineties it's not vintage nineties,
Speaker 2: but like it's a remake of a shirt that looks
Speaker 2: like it was produced in the nineties. That is Dewan
Speaker 2: Wheat and he's he's a legend. And what really really
Speaker 2: kind of pulled on more heartstrings here when I was
Speaker 2: scrolling through Facebook during the break is I saw that
Speaker 2: Alvin Simms, who was his backcourt mate, and those two
Speaker 2: guys that duo that was my duo, I mean Alvin Simms.
Speaker 2: It went back and forth to where I was, like,
Speaker 2: you know, I couldn't pick a favorite because I love
Speaker 2: both those guys. I mean, Dwan Wheat was an All
Speaker 2: American and clearly just a legendary player, and Sims was
Speaker 2: great as well, but man, he was God.
Speaker 3: He was a rim rocker.
Speaker 2: I mean he his dunks, not to the level of
Speaker 2: Montrez Harrald, but like he didn't just dunk it. You
Speaker 2: felt like there was some momentum added to the scoreboard
Speaker 2: as well, other.
Speaker 3: Than just the two points.
Speaker 2: And maybe I'm just completely making all this up because
Speaker 2: I was just a kid that loved that team, But
Speaker 2: I think if you remember those guys, you know how
Speaker 2: good they were.
Speaker 3: But like this, this melted my heart.
Speaker 2: So the WKY story was on the face on their
Speaker 2: Facebook and it just shares that louis native formerly Louisville
Speaker 2: star Dewan Whet announced as the head Coat coach and
Speaker 2: Alvin Simms shared it in staid of my back court bro,
Speaker 2: congratulations coach, and then the comment from Dewan Wheat says, yes, sir,
Speaker 2: there wasn't no me without.
Speaker 3: You, homie. It was always us. I mean, like I
Speaker 3: want to cry.
Speaker 2: Twork, but like that you know, it's just it's it's
Speaker 2: it's a it's a reminder that to so many that's
Speaker 2: just whatever. To me, I'm like, oh my god, that's
Speaker 2: my childhood.
Speaker 5: All I gotta say is is Moose get ready to
Speaker 5: learn the Simmons fight song.
Speaker 2: That's right, buddy. I mean, we'll go ahead and we'll start.
Speaker 2: Maybe we don't want to get in the way if
Speaker 2: Cason Pryor, we'll wait. Touch your case and Pryor makes
Speaker 2: his announcement. Hopefully he does announce that he's coming back,
Speaker 2: and then we'll get it worked out to where Moose
Speaker 2: is going to go ahead and make that verbal commitment
Speaker 2: to play for Dwan Wheeds at Simmons College.
Speaker 4: The next big one.
Speaker 2: We're looking for you right keep you maybe might want
Speaker 2: to go and turn your notifications on on your social media,
Speaker 2: just because you never know when it's going to pop.
Speaker 5: Need that press conference with just the one Simmons hat
Speaker 5: that he inevitably is going to put on.
Speaker 3: That would be great, good stuff.
Speaker 2: And I remember I wasn't embarrass because when I had
Speaker 2: him on the show, this was like in two thousand
Speaker 2: and I don't know, seventeen eighteen, it might have been
Speaker 2: around the time he got hired to be the head
Speaker 2: coach at Valley High School, and then since leaving Valley
Speaker 2: he's actually been an assistant for Wiley Brown over at
Speaker 2: IU Southeast. And I remember I talked to Dewan before
Speaker 2: setting up the interview, and I remember thinking like, I've
Speaker 2: got Dawan. We'd sone number, like this is crazy. And
Speaker 2: I remember chatting him up a little bit, just kind
Speaker 2: of like hey, you good to come on at this time.
Speaker 2: He's like yeah, cool, yeah, no, you know, and then
Speaker 2: he said yeah, looking forward to it, Nick, And I'm like,
Speaker 2: he knows my name, and then I could just once
Speaker 2: I hung up the phone, I was.
Speaker 4: Like, all right, I love that for you.
Speaker 3: Cool it because you're.
Speaker 2: Coming off as a stalker now, and you know, so
Speaker 2: I've tried to probably you know, there's no scenario where
Speaker 2: my interactions with him would beneficial because he would be like,
Speaker 2: all right, cool, leave me alone.
Speaker 3: You're a lunatic.
Speaker 2: But I'm sure maybe you all don't have that same
Speaker 2: idol that you know you were lunatic to the level
Speaker 2: I've been about with Duan. But I just to me,
Speaker 2: there's something special about someone that you know you idolize
Speaker 2: and looked up to so much when you were younger,
Speaker 2: and in a weird way like and he said this
Speaker 2: at the time, like he never he never gets old
Speaker 2: him hearing that because again he probably just a lot
Speaker 2: of people wouldn't know who he is. And that's not
Speaker 2: to belittle him, but like he hasn't played in a
Speaker 2: long time, you know, and he's older, so you know,
Speaker 2: and and also he wasn't like a six' eleven big.
Speaker 2: Man he was a five eleven six foot. Guard SO i, mean,
Speaker 2: LOOK i can we can make this The Duwan Wheat
Speaker 2: show if you let.
Speaker 3: ME i, MEAN i.
Speaker 2: DON'T i, know, well probably wouldn't be good for our,
Speaker 2: listenership but shout out to, uh shout out To Duwan.
Speaker 5: Wee AND i kind of marked out whenever we Have
Speaker 5: brian Bram on last week All Brian Brian brahmin's side
Speaker 5: From Teddy bridgewater my Favorite louisville athletes ever BECAUSE i
Speaker 5: fell in love with that. Team the first TIME i
Speaker 5: remember crying was That rutgers Game William gaye jumping off,
Speaker 5: side staying up and watching that and just being really
Speaker 5: invested BECAUSE I i knew that was such a huge
Speaker 5: game AND i was so disappointed so let. Down and
Speaker 5: that's that's WHAT i. KNEW i was captivated BY ufl,
Speaker 5: football and.
Speaker 2: In all, aspects man like it's it is relatively similar
Speaker 2: because of our ace.
Speaker 4: Difference, yeah you know WHAT i, mean it's almost like the.
Speaker 5: Same so like when he, CALLED i remember telling him
Speaker 5: because that next summer it Was cragthorpe's first year and my,
Speaker 5: dad The, kirkster had told me, About, yeah they do
Speaker 5: these media days where they're like out at the field
Speaker 5: and you can go meet the teams and, stuff.
Speaker 3: The posters and. Stuff hold, on they do, that AND.
Speaker 5: I just happened to be here on vacation at that,
Speaker 5: time SO i had went out, there AND i THINK
Speaker 5: i had stayed in the quarterback line the whole time
Speaker 5: because that was the longest. Line AND i wanted to
Speaker 5: talk To Brian bram and the first thing that the
Speaker 5: only THING i can remember telling him Is i'm a big.
Speaker 5: Fan please Beat rutgers this. Year rutgers put a very
Speaker 5: bad taste in my. Mouth and WHEN i got in
Speaker 5: front of my, idol My louisville, IDOL i had to tell,

Speaker 5: remember him kind of laughing and, said we're gonna. Try
Speaker 5: we're gonna. Try AND i remember recalling that back with
Speaker 5: him on the phone last week and he got a
Speaker 5: good laugh out of. It so it made me feel.
Speaker 2: GOOD i feel like the internet was kind of a
Speaker 2: baby at that time When brian was coming, up BUT
Speaker 2: i remember me it WAS i don't care if you
Speaker 2: followed high school sports Or louisville sports or. Not When
Speaker 2: brian was at, Say brian was At trinity And Michael
Speaker 2: bush was At.
Speaker 3: MAIL i mean those.
Speaker 2: Two, GUYS i mean you could feel that we had
Speaker 2: two not only of the Best louisville high school football
Speaker 2: players ever around, here but like they were Nationally like.
Speaker 1: It was just.
Speaker 2: Different and oh, yeah AND i know it's corny and
Speaker 2: it's certainly not something we've been really discussing, today but
Speaker 2: since we're talking about, it you, know those guys stayed
Speaker 2: home long before it was cool to. Do Like Brian
Speaker 2: brohm And Michael. Bush louisville at that time was In CONFERENCE.
Speaker 2: USA i, mean what was our biggest claim to fame
Speaker 2: at the time they. COMMITTED i, mean so you know

Speaker 2: the like they didn't owe us, anything but they they
Speaker 2: decided to stay home when they both, mean, Look brian
Speaker 2: was Considering Notre Dame, Tennessee Mike, BUSH i think it
Speaker 2: Was Ohio state that he was that that would have
Speaker 2: been the school that he'd have gone to had it
Speaker 2: not Been. Louisville so you, know there was no nil
Speaker 2: package to keep these guys. Around, man they just stayed
Speaker 2: here because this is home for. Them and that era
Speaker 2: Of louisville, FOOTBALL i, mean it was monumental as far
Speaker 2: as you being able to really have the success you've
Speaker 2: had since, then and, honestly it's got to be a
Speaker 2: factor in your acc invitation as.
Speaker 5: Well so ANYTIME i See Russ smith around, town, too

Speaker 5: Ross So i'm glad you brought that up Because russ

Speaker 2: RESPECT i Defend louisville a lot because you, know we've
Speaker 2: got great things here THAT i don't even think.
Speaker 3: The natives, appreciate if that makes.
Speaker 2: Sense like we you, KNOW i Think i'm clearly, biased
Speaker 2: BUT i love the city AND i at, times you,
Speaker 2: know wish we embraced it more than we. Do BUT
Speaker 2: i also understand we've got we've got issues that we
Speaker 2: need to, fix and you, know hopefully they're working on.
Speaker 2: That but WHEN i think When i'm talking about like
Speaker 2: hidden gems or just maybe not a hidden, gym but
Speaker 2: something that we know is, awesome like our, water, Right
Speaker 2: like we got great water In. Louisville that's a that's
Speaker 2: a weird thing to bring. Up but like a somebody
Speaker 2: who's lived here in my whole, Life LIKE i wouldn't
Speaker 2: have a difficult time telling somebody new To louisville things
Speaker 2: that they may not know that.
Speaker 3: Are positives about this.
Speaker 2: City one would not be water from Park And i'm
Speaker 2: not saying it's it's a, Dump but, like what was the, competition.
Speaker 4: RIGHT i, mean is there a? List there is?
Speaker 2: There like OTHER i mean the Responses i've. Seen i'm
Speaker 2: going to read some of. Them, actually are you, know
Speaker 2: talking About San antonio clearly got, robbed Which i've never been,
Speaker 2: there but obviously that is what it's known, for the
Speaker 2: river walk In San. Antonio but, Like i'm just going
Speaker 2: to read some of the responses here respectfully to the.
Speaker 3: Villa.
Speaker 2: Nah this one, says, Reminder April Fool's day was on
Speaker 2: the First, guys and these are.
Speaker 3: People that like probably Love. Louisville.
Speaker 2: Two, sure but you, know this person, says is this
Speaker 2: with or without the violence slash shooting around the walking?
Speaker 2: BRIDGE i mean not to make light of, that but
Speaker 2: like that, happens, yes, Yeah and this person, says if
Speaker 2: you can avoid getting.
Speaker 5: Robbed.
Speaker 2: Sure this person, says just don't walk outside the. Park mark,
Speaker 2: says just ignore the drug, addicts bums and violent criminals
Speaker 2: outside of that beautiful place. Lovely AND i, MEAN i
Speaker 2: hate to be like anti BECAUSE i don't even Think
Speaker 2: i'm being Anti, louisville but LIKE i would say even
Speaker 2: like AND i wouldn't Say i'm one of these, people
Speaker 2: but those that are over the top About louisville's the
Speaker 2: greatest at. Everything like think of somebody that's like AN
Speaker 2: ai generated human to really just you, know echo What
Speaker 2: Mayor greenberg says About.
Speaker 3: Louisville AND i don't mean to Not.
Speaker 2: Craig i'm just, saying, like, obviously if there's anybody that's
Speaker 2: gonna be gasling Up, louisville it's gonna be the, mayor.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: Yeah but like even the most over the top biased
Speaker 2: people towards the city would see, THIS i, think and,
Speaker 2: say huh, wait WHAT i?
Speaker 5: Mean it just you, know and then, always like every,
Speaker 5: YEAR i feel like there's always a study that gets
Speaker 5: circulated that Says louisville has like the best drivers, too
Speaker 5: and then everyone's, like hold, on what these these arbitrary
Speaker 5: lists that come out About. Louisville AND i wonder how
Speaker 5: much the walking bridge has to do with, that BECAUSE
Speaker 5: i do think it's fascinating that architecture has grown so
Speaker 5: much that we literally built the bridge just for people
Speaker 5: to walk over. It not like no car is allowed or.
Speaker 5: Anything it's just like for your own scenic, enjoyment you
Speaker 5: just walk over To.
Speaker 2: Jefferson and MAYBE i don't appreciate that much because for,
Speaker 2: ME i don't think to, me that doesn't seem like
Speaker 2: that rare of a.
Speaker 3: Thing but Maybe i'm way, Wrong like maybe maybe.
Speaker 2: The walking bridge is something you won't find in like any,
Speaker 2: city and it is, beautiful and you know you can you.
Speaker 3: Can get a great view of the.
Speaker 2: City AND i THINK i think our downtown view is,
Speaker 2: beautiful AND i you, KNOW i know down you, KNOW
Speaker 2: i say this all the. Time but people who act
Speaker 2: like Downtown louisville is some bordered up war, zone it's just.
Speaker 2: Wrong and, yes you could potentially find yourself in harm's,
Speaker 2: way but you can find yourself in harm's way.
Speaker 3: Anywhere In, louisville not just.
Speaker 2: DOWNTOWN i, mean that's probably not a great endorsement for this,
Speaker 2: city but that's just the. Truth so, again, Congratulations, uh
Speaker 2: with all new, RESPECT i would just take. It we'll take,
Speaker 2: it BUT i don't know IF i agree right quick
Speaker 2: break will come back on the other side right here
Speaker 2: In Sports talk seven ninety a coffee.
Speaker 1: And company fueled By thornton's On Sports talk seven nine, day.
Speaker 2: Little CECR i like, it that's, Right, mike get a lot.

Speaker 2: those are two artists, specifically BUT i guess really more
Speaker 2: of that era if it is the same Are maybe it's,
Speaker 2: Not but it's like anybody when you find something like
Speaker 2: something new that you get into like. That those are
Speaker 2: two artists slash bands that are that really remind me
Speaker 2: that AS i get, OLDER i really find an appreciation
Speaker 2: for music that, was you, know created long BEFORE i
Speaker 2: was ever thought. Of and it it's not, new but
Speaker 2: like it's new to, me you know WHAT i, Mean
Speaker 2: LIKE i it's very. Old but you, KNOW i feel
Speaker 2: like If i'm going to find something that is new to,
Speaker 2: me rather it be music that was released just the
Speaker 2: other day or music that was released in the sixties
Speaker 2: or the, SEVENTIES i THINK i find myself being more
Speaker 2: into music that is old than. New and that's NOT i,

Speaker 1: The.
Speaker 3: Oh there's like a like a weird LIKE i.

Speaker 2: moan or like a.
Speaker 5: It's a what are the music people call? It it's
Speaker 5: like a like a like a low false set of
Speaker 5: harm like some kind of. Harmony, Yeah i'm just throwing.

Speaker 5: but ALL i do know Is michael McDonald's. Vibe, yeah
Speaker 5: so good.
Speaker 2: Stuff all, Right we're we're almost out of time because
Speaker 2: we actually have Another bats game coming up. Today they're
Speaker 2: gonna be on the air at around five point forty
Speaker 2: five as A Nick keurn's on the. CALL i believe
Speaker 2: first pitch is set for for six. O'clock but we
Speaker 2: did talk a little bit earlier about about the news
Speaker 2: Of wilkerson committing To kentucky Over. Indiana AND i just
Speaker 2: saw something From Dan dackach, that you, know never THOUGHT
Speaker 2: i would be referencing A Dan dockisch tweet and bringing
Speaker 2: it to the airwaves here BECAUSE i do think he he.
Speaker 3: Has a good.
Speaker 2: Point if you're somebody that is that is willing, to you,
Speaker 2: know realize That indiana did get a player that you
Speaker 2: wanted and it wasn't because of anything other than you,
Speaker 2: know he just wanted to be. There and you can, justify,
Speaker 2: well he just want he didn't want to be another.
Speaker 2: Guy well either, way he didn't want to be With.
Speaker 2: Kentucky he wanted to be In. Indiana and like there's
Speaker 2: just an inability to accept, that seemingly from Some kentucky.
Speaker 2: Fans but if you are somebody that is down in the.
Speaker 2: Dumps dockage has a good reminder and this is somebody
Speaker 2: that you know is An indiana, Guy dan Dockach.
Speaker 3: Is he mentioned.
Speaker 2: Something That i'm not even sure people realized Because Lamar
Speaker 2: wilkerson yesterday said he's going to Bring indiana. Back dockage
Speaker 2: mentions that his, Team Sam Houston's state went thirteen and
Speaker 2: nineteen six and twelve in their. Conference he couldn't Bring
Speaker 2: Sam Houston state. Back why would he be able to
Speaker 2: Bring indiana? Back And i'm not Saying wilkerson is going
Speaker 2: to be, great bad. Whatever he's clearly a really good
Speaker 2: score it can shoot it and a lot of schools wanted,
Speaker 2: him Including, kentucky And indiana's justifiably excited to have. Him
Speaker 2: but that is one thing THAT i don't think many
Speaker 2: people pay a lot of attention to when it comes
Speaker 2: to guys that put up big numbers for schools like.
Speaker 2: That if they put up those numbers and the team,
Speaker 2: stunk what are you really? Getting Like Pat kelcey last,
Speaker 2: year there was a clear attention to detail when pursuing,
Speaker 2: players not just because of their style and what they do,
Speaker 2: well but were they coming from winning? Programs AND i
Speaker 2: think the more we get into this era of the,
Speaker 2: portal the more you will see. Coaches some have already learned,
Speaker 2: it but others will learn it down the line THAT
Speaker 2: i need to not really put a whole lot into somebody's.
Speaker 2: Stats if their team won seven eight, games and that
Speaker 2: makes total, sense these guys are terrible and that they
Speaker 2: you know that they you, know can't help you not
Speaker 2: to say that they're they're the reason that their team.
Speaker 2: Stunk they were the probably the best player on their.
Speaker 2: Team BUT i think you will see a bigger adjustment.
Speaker 2: PERIOD i THINK i think it'll be a tougher adjustment
Speaker 2: for somebody coming from A Sam Houston state team that
Speaker 2: went six and twelve in their. Conference LIKE i, think
Speaker 2: if you're not a part of a winning culture and
Speaker 2: you take that big step, up you may fit in just.
Speaker 2: Fine BUT i think it could be a little bit
Speaker 2: of A i, mean not That indiana had a great winning.
Speaker 3: Culture rather they're starting.
Speaker 2: Over but some of the guys that have been really
Speaker 2: successful in the in their new stop after the, portal
Speaker 2: their numbers were, fine but they weren't, gaudy but they
Speaker 2: played for a winning team and they were a big
Speaker 2: factor in that team, winning AND i just think that
Speaker 2: is going to end up being something that we as
Speaker 2: fans start to pay attention to as again we move
Speaker 2: forward in this new world that, is you, know IN
Speaker 2: il and the portal which has basically made this pro.
Speaker 2: Sports we're out of.
Speaker 3: Time aren't.
Speaker 4: We, yes we're we're running, it, okay just making.
Speaker 2: Sure all, right we, uh we gotta run a little
Speaker 2: the little of bats coming coming your way right, now
Speaker 2: and then of course we'll be back at it. Tomorrow
Speaker 2: AND i hope you guys are join us right here
