Speaker 1: It's the wild Man with me on the night cab
Speaker 1: Gary you have by Old sad on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: Of course, last night in New Orleans, opening night of
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, the full week long of celebration and
Speaker 1: interviews and celebrities and all of the former players and
Speaker 1: each team coming out to talk to reporters and the
Speaker 1: fans and the like. I mean, it's a really cool time.
Speaker 1: If you're down there in New Orleans and you're a
Speaker 1: part of it, I guess you've got to see some
Speaker 1: of it. Last night, wild Man, what were your thoughts
Speaker 1: as you watched the Eagles discuss the game ahead and
Speaker 1: anything else they were talking about.
Speaker 2: Oh, of course, the biggest crowd was the winning around
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley. I remember back in the day when we'd
Speaker 2: have a media day and reporters would get right up
Speaker 2: next to you, like they say, bloomber assize it with
Speaker 2: microphones in the space. But that don't happen now. They
Speaker 2: got like a barrier and then Seguon Barkley's up there
Speaker 2: with with one microphone. Saku bar Barkley was, you know,
Speaker 2: pretty calm. He was happy to be there. And as
Speaker 2: we know, as Saguon Barkley goes. The Eagles go so
Speaker 2: and none of the players that I heard talk or
Speaker 2: talking Tony Smack. They were glad to be there. They
Speaker 2: know it's going to be a tough game and just
Speaker 2: went board. Went for the day today, day to day
Speaker 2: for the day to get there. They also took to
Speaker 2: the coach and they also talked to h Jalen Hurts
Speaker 2: and he really didn't have much to say. Uh, I
Speaker 2: don't know what the Chiefs. The Chiefs are supposed to
Speaker 2: come out, uh the later early later tonight, I believe,
Speaker 2: so they're able to see what happened. But so far
Speaker 2: you and her name smack from either team. I think
Speaker 2: both they respect each other too much to be talking smack.
Speaker 3: But it's early.
Speaker 2: It's early, and then something usually happens or something usually
Speaker 2: leagues out before they kick off the.
Speaker 3: Game, right.
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey did comment on his UH on his retirement
Speaker 1: because people are now curious about when Travis is going
Speaker 1: to hang it up. No, he's been doing. He's going
Speaker 1: to his fifth Super Bowl in six years. You know,
Speaker 1: he's playing with a Hall of Fame quarterback and he's
Speaker 1: had quite a career so far. But his indication was
Speaker 1: last night that he intends to play for the Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chiefs and only the Chiefs for maybe another three years.
Speaker 3: Does that sound about right to you? Oh?
Speaker 2: I think Travis Kelsey still playing on a high level.
Speaker 2: I mean, he wasn't burning up the league early in
Speaker 2: the season, but as it got down the crunch time,
Speaker 2: he was making the catches that they were open they
Speaker 2: would be making.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's just that he's not a spring pump anymore.
Speaker 1: Tom Brady has kind of set the standard for old
Speaker 1: men playing in the NFL successfully, and maybe you'll see
Speaker 1: players you know who, barring injury, will extend their careers
Speaker 1: out a little bit more. But Kelsey says about three
Speaker 1: more years. He plans on being an Eagle three years
Speaker 1: from now and maybe more Super Bowls.
Speaker 3: Who knows.
Speaker 1: And Patrick Mahomes embraced the Chiefs villain status because nobody
Speaker 1: nobody likes the Chiefs. Was I was on this tirade?
Speaker 1: I think last week when I said, no, people aren't
Speaker 1: happy with me right now. Is it my stance on
Speaker 1: Donald Trump? Is it my stance on illegal immigration? No,
Speaker 1: it's my support of the Kansas City Chiefs that has
Speaker 1: so many people wanked off at me and I just
Speaker 1: don't get it.
Speaker 3: Do you get it?
Speaker 1: I kind of get it.
Speaker 2: People are always I think they get tired of seeing
Speaker 2: teams win every year. That's just a human thing unless
Speaker 2: you're unless you're a Chiefs fan. I mean, I always
Speaker 2: go back to the Steelers. I would love to have
Speaker 2: six super Bowl championships to brag about. I'm sorry, I
Speaker 2: would love to have that to brag about. As you're
Speaker 2: a Chiefs fan. Hey, you know, we can maybe make
Speaker 2: history here with a three repeat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean maybe.
Speaker 1: But still, I don't think they should take it out
Speaker 1: on me just because I'm rooting for the Red and Gold.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've got to Tomahawk chop down. I'm ready
Speaker 1: to go, but I'm not going out.
Speaker 2: I'm not a big fan of the Chiefs. I don't
Speaker 2: hate the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: There's a couple other.
Speaker 2: I don't hate the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: That what I'm telling you is people hate me just
Speaker 1: because I love the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: That's That's what a lot of it is. Because we've
Speaker 2: gotten beat by the Chiefs and kind of gotten screwed
Speaker 2: by the by the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: If you want to take it that bar okay.
Speaker 1: Well most people try and take it that way. They
Speaker 1: think that the only reason the Chiefs are in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl is because they've screwed everybody else with the
Speaker 1: help of the referees, which I don't agree with either,
Speaker 1: So maybe that's why I've gotten such such flak back.
Speaker 3: I did want to talk to you about the.
Speaker 1: Bengals just for a second, because they are named in
Speaker 1: an article I read this morning as one of the
Speaker 1: leading contenders for a Cooper Cup trade, because Cooper Cup
Speaker 1: has acknowledged that he's definitely going to be traded from
Speaker 1: the Rams, and the Cincinnati Bengals mentioned as one of
Speaker 1: the best possible destinations for Cooper along with along with
Speaker 1: the Patriots and along with let's see who else on
Speaker 1: the list here or.
Speaker 2: You just said the word that doesn't happen, And with
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bengals trade, they you go back and look
Speaker 2: at the history of trades that they've made. Cooper Cup,
Speaker 2: I don't believe is coming here. T Higgins is going
Speaker 2: to stay with the Bengal They're going.
Speaker 4: To find a way.
Speaker 2: They're going to find a way. I'm telling you, Garry
Speaker 2: Jeff to keep t Higgins here. We know Jamar Chasen
Speaker 2: and Joe or you are joined at the hip, and
Speaker 2: we know he's not going anywhere. But I know Joe Burrow,
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't say exactly, but he has already
Speaker 2: said expressed this feelings, probably surely in private. We know
Speaker 2: he's already expressed this feeling and public about T Higgins.
Speaker 2: We're going to find a way to keep T Higgins there.
Speaker 4: They are.
Speaker 1: The other two teams mentioned besides the Bengals and the
Speaker 1: Patriots were the Washington Commanders, which they desperately could use
Speaker 1: another receiver for Jaden Daniels, like Cooper Cup or the
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. I'd hate to see him wind up with
Speaker 1: the Steelers and have to face him two times a year,
Speaker 1: don't you think.
Speaker 2: I went like I went like Cooper Cup going there either.
Speaker 2: He didn't have a great year this year. In fact,
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup was one of my top fantasy football players
Speaker 2: and my and my on my team, and he didn't
Speaker 2: have very good year. But that you know, that's that's
Speaker 2: how it goes when you start getting younger guys to
Speaker 2: having better years. So I don't know where he's going
Speaker 2: to end that back, but he's not coming here of
Speaker 2: Cincinnati right.
Speaker 1: I'll make a book on that, so you you think
Speaker 1: that there's actually a way for the Bengals to figure
Speaker 1: out to have t Higgins be there next year, even
Speaker 1: though he got he got hit with the franchise tag,
Speaker 1: all this stuff that's happened, the acrimony around extending and
Speaker 1: signing him to an extension, it just it just seemed
Speaker 1: for a while like it definitely wasn't gonna Hay isn't
Speaker 1: going to be here next year. But you think there's somehow,
Speaker 1: some way that they're going to get higginsport.
Speaker 2: I really, I really do, Gary, Jeff. I mean, the
Speaker 2: Bengals front office are not stupid. They know the window,
Speaker 2: you know, is only open for a slight at a
Speaker 2: short time in order to get to that Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: And I brought it up a couple of times two
Speaker 2: weeks ago with you, Mike Brown is not getting any younger.
Speaker 2: They really would like to get a Super Bowl championship
Speaker 2: for him before he you know go, you know, passes on.
Speaker 2: I think that that ship that might weigh and then
Speaker 2: for them to get this deal and this team.
Speaker 4: Is worth coming in.
Speaker 2: This team is worth what three point bion dollars something
Speaker 2: like that. They've got the money. It's the way you
Speaker 2: move it around and they know they know how to
Speaker 2: play that game. They not all the teams do that.
Speaker 2: And if you want to keep Joe Burrow happy, I mean,
Speaker 2: and you want Joe Burrow, all of a sudden they
Speaker 2: pull Carson Palmer. I don't know if he would do
Speaker 2: that or not, but you don't, you know, don't rule it.
Speaker 4: Out because it could happen.
Speaker 1: And the other NFL news here among the the rotating
Speaker 1: wheel of play interchangeable players in the office season, Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins feels he's got a lot of good football left
Speaker 1: amid amid questions about his future. I just Kirk Cousins
Speaker 1: has just kind of fizzled out. I mean, you lost
Speaker 1: his job in Atlanta to uh to a rookie and uh,
Speaker 1: I mean, where where is Kirk Cousins gonna wind up?
Speaker 1: You think you'll still be playing next year?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think Kirk Cousins a very good quarterback.
Speaker 2: I mean when he's I don't know that Atlanta was
Speaker 2: you know, was a good fix for him.
Speaker 4: I mean he acted like it was and then he
Speaker 4: gets you don't know what.
Speaker 2: These coaches are thinking when they bring these guys in
Speaker 2: or you know, don't they talk about the game plan
Speaker 2: or you know our culture.
Speaker 4: Maybe it wasn't that.
Speaker 2: After we got in there, it was like, well, this
Speaker 2: isn't gonna work, and I wouldn't want to play for
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons' are ever gonna win anything?
Speaker 1: They stink.
Speaker 3: That's what I love about you, wile Man.
Speaker 1: You don't parse your words, don't him in hall around
Speaker 1: Well listen, uh. I appreciate the time tonight filling a
Speaker 1: hole after basketball on the night cap, and look forward
Speaker 1: to future conversations and can't wait for Super Bowl fifty
Speaker 1: nine on Sunday. Where will you be on Sunday to
Speaker 1: watch the big game? Wild Man?
Speaker 2: Well, it was just wait for you to get to
Speaker 2: me that before we can decide who was going to
Speaker 2: win this game, I will be out in clee I
Speaker 2: will be at a big super Bowl party my buddies
Speaker 2: have every year out in Cleeves. I mean there is
Speaker 2: more food there you can feed an army battalion. And
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to being out there with all the boys.
Speaker 2: A bunch of old guy a bunch of guys I've
Speaker 2: known for years. It says a good old time and
Speaker 2: then I'm my money's on the Philadelphia Eagles to win
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. I'm not going to give you a score,
Speaker 2: but I give I have to give you this. Saquon Barkley,
Speaker 2: he scores over one hundred yards. They're gonna win that
Speaker 2: game easy. They're gonna win.
Speaker 3: They're gonna win easy.
Speaker 1: He may run for one hundred yards on the first
Speaker 1: play from scrimmage.
Speaker 2: I mean, none of us last games, including the playoffs,
Speaker 2: he's gone over one hundred yards. Like I said, a
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley goes, so goes the Eagles. They've got the
Speaker 2: boys upfront, and then the running game is working, and
Speaker 2: then the passing game is gonna help. So I'm gonna
Speaker 2: take I'm better take the Eagles.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm sticking with my Chiefs.
Speaker 2: Well, sure you are.
Speaker 3: I mean, do we have a bet on this?
Speaker 1: I mean, is there a wager that you would like
Speaker 1: to put forth on the air, just for for the
Speaker 1: sake of fun.
Speaker 3: I'm not lying, I'm not don't don't give.
Speaker 1: Me a dollar value, something more tangible than even money.
Speaker 1: Wild man, What what can you put up against my
Speaker 1: Chiefs and I'll put up against your Eagles?
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know what.
Speaker 6: Throw it in your lap.
Speaker 4: What are you thinking.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean you kind of got me off base here
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 3: Well, no, we didn't talk about it.
Speaker 1: But uh, let's see, all right, Uh, you have to
Speaker 1: wear my Chiefs hoodie.
Speaker 3: In public?
Speaker 6: No, I'm not going.
Speaker 2: I'm not wearing no damn Chiefs hoodie.
Speaker 3: You have to wear my Chiefs hoodie in public? All right?
Speaker 3: Well out, I'll know.
Speaker 2: I'm not wearing that. I'm not wearing that. I've already
Speaker 2: got already got some girl that's always trying to get
Speaker 2: me to when we bet Kentucky whoever they play. I
Speaker 2: know I'm not a big fan of the Wildcats. And
Speaker 2: then she's always saying, well, well, if I make the
Speaker 2: bed and you lose, you got to wear Kentucky Hoodie're like, no,
Speaker 2: we're not making that bet. And I catch me wearing
Speaker 2: Kentucky guard all.
Speaker 3: Right, wild ain't happening?
Speaker 1: All right, wild man, So that your convictions aren't strong
Speaker 1: enough to make some kind of a wager where you
Speaker 1: might be embarrassed by.
Speaker 2: Are very strong, good victors are very strong.
Speaker 1: You want to but we.
Speaker 2: Can we can make a we can make the dinner
Speaker 2: a dinner bet.
Speaker 4: Possibly.
Speaker 1: Oh that that's that's possibly, that's possibly. I tell you what,
Speaker 1: We'll just do a gentleman's wager of a dollar and
Speaker 1: and I will sign the dollar if if I lose.
Speaker 1: But I'm not going to lose. I'm looking forward to
Speaker 1: another hundred pennies in my account next Monday.
Speaker 2: Oh where are you going to be Sunday?

Speaker 2: pop and the desserts something square.
Speaker 1: Wait, you said you could feed an army battalion. What
Speaker 1: are the rest of the guy who's gonna eat? If
Speaker 1: you're there?
Speaker 2: I know no thing lacking for by the super Bowl
Speaker 2: party or strippers, but unfortunately these guys wouldn't do that.
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, you've seen you've seen a woman naked before? Right?
Speaker 4: Once or twice?
Speaker 1: Okay, you're good? Wild Man takes care good, all right.

Speaker 1: l W.
Speaker 7: Seven hundred W l W Cincinnati available everywhere with the
Speaker 7: iHeartRadio app number one for podcasting seven hundred w l
Speaker 7: W and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 8: Addiction can be isolating, but there is strength in numbers. Together,
Speaker 8: we can bring out the best in those who are
Speaker 8: in need of recovery while we'removing stigma.
Speaker 1: The fear is He's always there for me, whatever that means,
Speaker 1: and I am so appreciative that he's willing to be
Speaker 1: there for me. He's my buddy, my pal, my mention.
Speaker 1: He is the one and only Furball, Andy Furman. And
Speaker 1: here you are, and once again you are here for me.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 9: I'm here for you because basically I have nothing better
Speaker 9: to do.
Speaker 4: That's why I'm here.
Speaker 9: For you, really, but I do enjoy your company, and
Speaker 9: you're a great opportunity for me to be a sounding
Speaker 9: board event.
Speaker 4: That's right, That's why I enjoyed to event.
Speaker 9: And that's the problem with freaking sports talk on the
Speaker 9: radio today. They're all kiss ass, that's what they are.
Speaker 9: I'm not saying you got to be a negative guy
Speaker 9: and you have to go out there with a hard
Speaker 9: poon and bury people, but you know what they're wishy washing,
Speaker 9: be consistent.
Speaker 4: And let me give you an example of play. Please
Speaker 4: do the university.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I will the university since any basketball team was
Speaker 9: trying sixteenth in the country.
Speaker 4: Oh oh, Wes Miller.
Speaker 9: Wes Miller. Now they want to hang the son of
Speaker 9: a bitch.
Speaker 4: Really, you know what, be consistent, you know, all of
Speaker 4: a sudden, now I'm hearing hosts behind the microphone. They
Speaker 4: don't listen to him. He's not tough enough. He called
Speaker 4: the time out.
Speaker 9: He wanted to have depressed, and they were listening. But
Speaker 9: when the team was sixteenth in the country, everything was fine.
Speaker 4: You can't have it both ways.
Speaker 9: Either you like the guy or you hate the guy,
Speaker 9: or you.
Speaker 4: Think he's a good coach or he's not a good coach.
Speaker 4: Come on, you know what.
Speaker 9: It makes me sick to listen to these people who
Speaker 9: go like the.
Speaker 4: Wind to like a flag. They wave in the wind.
Speaker 4: That's what they do well.
Speaker 1: And Andy, no one could accuse you of that. You
Speaker 1: plant your flag sometimes on the wrong planet, but you're
Speaker 1: not afraid to plant that flag and stand behind it,
Speaker 1: because well, how do you turn.
Speaker 9: Against Miller when you were in love with the guy
Speaker 9: and you're going Gada and they're going to the susup
Speaker 9: like tournament.
Speaker 4: Now you want the guy fired. I mean, come on,
Speaker 4: it doesn't make you sound stupid.
Speaker 9: Don't you understand I'm trying to help these people that
Speaker 9: do the talking behind the microphone.
Speaker 4: You sound foolish, you really do.
Speaker 1: And you just sound angry, which is great for our conversations.
Speaker 3: Anytime you know angry, angry, why let me tell.
Speaker 9: You why I'm Let me tell you why I'm angry.
Speaker 9: You know why, because those people are stealing money. They're
Speaker 9: stealing money.
Speaker 4: You open up the microphone.
Speaker 9: They're not saying whatever gets people to get clicks and
Speaker 9: to get phone calls. You're stealing money because you're not
Speaker 9: you're not talking.
Speaker 4: From your heart. You're really not what I tell you yourself.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you who's stealing money, Andy, the players on
Speaker 1: the nil cashing their eight hundred thousand dollars check and
Speaker 1: not caring if they shoot seventeen for fifty four in
Speaker 1: a game. And Ands Miller. I don't know that the
Speaker 1: problems Wes Miller's. It may be the whole damn system
Speaker 1: for all. For all I can tell Andy, because you
Speaker 1: got players. You got players, and I was talking with
Speaker 1: somebody else about this. You got players who are now
Speaker 1: instead of struggling through through class and struggling through college
Speaker 1: with the perks that athletes already had, mind you, but
Speaker 1: now they can just come and go as they please,
Speaker 1: willy nilly, and they're getting paid in six figures for
Speaker 1: playing a game, and they're getting free tuition at the college.
Speaker 1: I think they're just mailing it in some of these guys.
Speaker 1: What's the possibility of that.
Speaker 9: That's first of all, don't play manil. That's the coaches
Speaker 9: fought that they mail and get in Number one. Number two,
Speaker 9: Let's go on another direction. You say they could come
Speaker 9: and go as they please. You know I'm hearing that,
Speaker 9: you know, I'm thinking of the coaches. Coaches come and
Speaker 9: go as they please too, and then they can seven figures. Okay,
Speaker 9: so it goes both ways. If the coaches could get
Speaker 9: seven figures and go both ways and quit and go
Speaker 9: any place they want to go without having to sit
Speaker 9: out the players.
Speaker 4: Who are bring in so much to the school.
Speaker 9: They increase enrollment, they increase visibility, they increase merchandise sales,
Speaker 9: they get.
Speaker 4: Them on TV. That's the problem. You know what the
Speaker 4: problem is. You have to know what lane that you're in.
Speaker 4: When I say that, I mean this, I mean.
Speaker 9: You see, was a big fish in a small pond
Speaker 9: in the American Athletic Conference.
Speaker 4: They dominated that conference. They won. Everybody was happy. They
Speaker 4: were a winner. They went to the tournament every year.
Speaker 9: Now they stepped it up. They go into the Big twelve.
Speaker 9: They can't compete in the Big twelve. I don't care
Speaker 9: how much you pay these kids, they will never ever
Speaker 9: compete with the Canvases of the world.
Speaker 4: They can't.
Speaker 9: They can't and they won't. They're not made to compete
Speaker 9: with them. However, the good news is, I guess for
Speaker 9: the accountants at the University of Cincinnati, the bottom line
Speaker 9: is increasing because going to the Big twelve, you're getting
Speaker 9: big paydays, big time money coming into the university. The
Speaker 9: bad news is for the fans. A, the team will
Speaker 9: not be competitive and B. Those games are never on
Speaker 9: TV anymore. Anytime you want to watch you see it's
Speaker 9: on ESPN.
Speaker 4: Plus.
Speaker 9: When they were in the American they were always on television.
Speaker 4: They're never on TV.
Speaker 1: Now, no I would, they're on television. They're kind of
Speaker 1: but television, television and radio kind of becoming different animals
Speaker 1: than we grew up with Andy and and to say
Speaker 1: somebody's not on television when it's obvious you can watch
Speaker 1: the game on a stream if you have the service
Speaker 1: that is television, is it not?
Speaker 3: It's not over the air TV.
Speaker 9: I get Fox Sports. I get Fox Sports. I got
Speaker 9: Fox Sports one. I get every Big East game over there,
Speaker 9: and I'm paying for it. Okay, I'll watch the Xavier
Speaker 9: game against Georgetown.
Speaker 4: It's on s S one. I have to pay extra.
Speaker 4: I have to go to ESPN.
Speaker 9: Plus to watch. U see a different animals. The Fox
Speaker 9: Sports situation and the Big East.
Speaker 4: Have a hell of a deal.
Speaker 9: The Big East and Fox Sports have a tremendous TV
Speaker 9: deal and a great package.
Speaker 1: Are you telling me though comment you made earlier? It's
Speaker 1: it's the coach's fault. It's not the nil's fault. Isn't
Speaker 1: it human nature to know that you've got a secure
Speaker 1: paycheck no matter what you do or how you perform.
Speaker 1: I thought that the players that I saw in college
Speaker 1: basketball college football were hungrier when they actually had to
Speaker 1: do something to attain goals like being attracted to the
Speaker 1: NBA or the NFL. If you're going to get six
Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand dollars a year playing college basketball, do
Speaker 1: you think that? And you see it all the time
Speaker 1: in the pros Andy, when a guy gets a big contract,
Speaker 1: sometimes his performance falls way off because he's already gotten
Speaker 1: the payday. He's already cracked a golden egg, and he
Speaker 1: doesn't have to try anymore.
Speaker 3: And I see some of that.
Speaker 1: I see some of that quit in this U see
Speaker 1: Bearcats basketball program.
Speaker 3: And you lay that all at the doorstep of Wes Miller. Right.
Speaker 4: First of all, I think you got to get your
Speaker 4: head on straight.
Speaker 9: No one on the University of Cincinnati is making eight
Speaker 9: hundred thousand dollars. I would venture to guess take that
Speaker 9: entire roster of twelve to fourteen guys totally that I'm
Speaker 9: making eight hundred thousand dollars. That's number one. Number two,
Speaker 9: that's obvious to me that you have never been involved
Speaker 9: with athletics, being on the collegiate level or the professional level.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not saying you weren't a player, but
Speaker 4: you weren't involved with them. I worked with pro teams.
Speaker 9: I was a pr guy with many pro teams and
Speaker 9: many college teams. Anytime a kid straps it up or
Speaker 9: an athlete strapsed it up basketball or football, they have
Speaker 9: a competitive juice. I don't care about the money, and
Speaker 9: they don't care about the money either when the game starts.
Speaker 9: It's not about money. You don't think Jamar Chase is
Speaker 9: a competitor, no.
Speaker 4: Matter how much money he makes. It's not about the money.
Speaker 9: You have to be motivated by a leader, a good leader.
Speaker 9: I don't think Wes Miller is a tremendous leader. When
Speaker 9: I read the Cincinnati Inquiry yesterday that Jason Williams, who
Speaker 9: wrote a tremendous column They've been the best column he
Speaker 9: ever wrote, he used the term that should never ever
Speaker 9: be associated with a professional athlete or a collegiate athlete.
Speaker 9: He used the term that they were soft. That is
Speaker 9: the worst thing you could ever call an athlete. It's soft.
Speaker 9: And the University of Cincinnati basketball team, for whatever the reason,
Speaker 9: they're soft. They're not motivated to play. Whose job is that.
Speaker 9: That's the leader, that's the coach. He's not motivating them
Speaker 9: to play. He's not getting he Look, you know how
Speaker 9: you motivate them, tough practices. You know how you motivate them.
Speaker 9: Put them on the bench, put another player on there
Speaker 9: to take their place. That's how you motivate them. He's
Speaker 9: not motivating them.
Speaker 1: All right, and you you felt this way when they
Speaker 1: were sixteenth ranked, right?
Speaker 10: I mean no, no, no, no, back to your original
Speaker 10: Back to your original argument, Andy, back to your you
Speaker 10: said all these guys were just you know, in Google
Speaker 10: eye when.
Speaker 9: No problem West Miller. No, no, no, no, I have
Speaker 9: no problem Wes Miller. He simply because you cannot change
Speaker 9: a coach's style of coaching. He's not an NUF yelling
Speaker 9: yellow or a screamer. That's just the way he is.
Speaker 9: If these guys don't want to perform for him, that's
Speaker 9: his problem. Okay, he's got to find a way to
Speaker 9: get that to perform.
Speaker 4: Have performed better now here. The deal is. The deal
Speaker 4: is that they were tremendous before Big twelve play. What
Speaker 4: did it tell you?
Speaker 9: It's not about coaching, it's not about motivation, it's not
Speaker 9: about not playing, but being sold.
Speaker 4: They're not as.
Speaker 9: Good as the competition in the Big twelve. That's why
Speaker 9: I'm getting back to my original point. They were big
Speaker 9: fishes and little ponds in the American athletic They can't
Speaker 9: compete in the Big twelve.
Speaker 4: They can't and they won't. They won't.
Speaker 1: Well what what what bothers me is they won't. So
Speaker 1: you're you're negating any possibility that Cincinnati rises above their
Speaker 1: act status and gets up to speed in the Big Twelve.
Speaker 1: And I think that that's very defeatist of you.
Speaker 3: Andy, it's gonna happen.
Speaker 9: Has Northwestern ever been a power in their conference? As
Speaker 9: Vanderbilt ever competed in the SEC? You're a visible guy.
Speaker 9: I mean, come on, there are certain schools that just
Speaker 9: can't and won't.
Speaker 1: They don't have the talent and Andy, Andy, Andy, Andy,
Speaker 1: Vandy and Northwestern can't compete in their respective conferences because
Speaker 1: of the requirements to play ball at those schools much
Speaker 1: higher than than the state run.
Speaker 4: Private are you.
Speaker 9: Are you telling me that kids that have high academic
Speaker 9: scores and the smart kids can't play. Don't tell out that,
Speaker 9: Bill Bradley, who played for Princeton, don't go there.
Speaker 4: Don't go there.
Speaker 10: You give me, don't you give me no, you give
Speaker 10: me one exception to the rule.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you what you've got.
Speaker 1: You've got this year, this year, that's right, this year.
Speaker 3: Watch what happens next year.
Speaker 1: They won't be back in the National Championship Game because
Speaker 1: the requirements to go to school there are so much
Speaker 1: higher than the teams that they are facing on a
Speaker 1: regular And I'm telling you this.
Speaker 9: You're telling me that the intelligent kids cannot compete athletically.
Speaker 4: That's what you're saying.
Speaker 1: No, I'm just saying it's it's brains versus braun, and
Speaker 1: braun always bears out in physical acts and physical games
Speaker 1: of skill, Braun always wins over brains.
Speaker 3: And at Vanderbilt, at Vanderbilt.
Speaker 1: At Vanderbilt, when when you've got a linebacker at Vanderbilt
Speaker 1: who is crushing a quarterback, it's like neuroscientist meet general
Speaker 1: studies major who probably is carrying a two point zero
Speaker 1: and barely that. Just to stay in that state public
Speaker 1: school versus the private school. Vanderbilt is the only private
Speaker 1: school in the SEC. I think same thing with Northwest
Speaker 1: Northwestern in the Big Ten, the only private school starts
Speaker 1: on state run.
Speaker 4: Shame on you.
Speaker 9: Shame on you for bringing academics and making a comparison
Speaker 9: that you can't play if you're a good athlete. First
Speaker 9: of all, let me just say this, these athletes will
Speaker 9: not compete in Vanderbilt and the Northwest of because if
Speaker 9: you're a five star athlete in college, I'm high school.
Speaker 9: If you're a five star in the high school and
Speaker 9: you're being recruited. It's an eagle thing. You don't want
Speaker 9: to go to Vanderbilt. If you're a five star basketball player,
Speaker 9: what do you want to do? You want to either
Speaker 9: go to Kansas or Kentucky or a big time basketball school.
Speaker 9: That's what you want to do. Vanderbilt's not on your radar.
Speaker 3: That's why Vanderbilt.
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt does get some five star athletes out of high school,
Speaker 1: but they're also they're also getting there also, yes, and
Speaker 1: they're also getting MEN'SA candidates because they want to go
Speaker 1: to a prestigious school like Vanderbilt, where academics over athletics
Speaker 1: is is centered and focused. That I mean that, that's
Speaker 1: their whole focus is to turn out smart people who
Speaker 1: actually make our lives better instead of just dumb jocks
Speaker 1: who who entertain us like clowns.
Speaker 4: All my words, all my world.
Speaker 9: It's smacking around guys who put on uniforms and calling.
Speaker 4: Them dumb johns.
Speaker 9: Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness, Joe Burrow, I guess
Speaker 9: there's a dumb job to you.
Speaker 4: Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 3: No, No, I don't think I.
Speaker 9: Mean a lot of a lot of stuff is coming
Speaker 9: out of your mouth now that I can't believe.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know that Joe Burrow would have been accepted
Speaker 1: into Vanderbilt had he wanted to play there.
Speaker 3: I don't know about his academic background.
Speaker 4: Andy.
Speaker 9: Yeah, And I will tell you this, I think that
Speaker 9: if you're a great athlete, they kind of look the
Speaker 9: other way a little bit with grades. And I don't
Speaker 9: think that's that's the right athletes.
Speaker 1: That's right, they look the other way. Vanderbilt doesn't look
Speaker 1: the other way. Andy, that's the difference.
Speaker 4: You don't know that. I do know that, but I
Speaker 4: will tell you this much.
Speaker 9: I don't think there's a big deal if you're a
Speaker 9: great athlete. I've seen IVY League schools play great basketball
Speaker 9: over the years because they've had great coaches. Princeton had
Speaker 9: a great coach for years and they did well, and
Speaker 9: they did well on the NCAA tournament. Why a great
Speaker 9: coach and it got great place to go to Princeton.
Speaker 9: According to Bill brand And over the last five ten years,
Speaker 9: Firston has been somewhat competitive in the nc DOUBLE.
Speaker 1: Somewhat competitive is way different than winning your conference or
Speaker 1: making the NCUBA tournament or going far in the NC
Speaker 1: Double A. You know, some success is not the success
Speaker 1: that you and I are talking to or that these
Speaker 1: teams aspire to.
Speaker 3: Andy, I would say this.
Speaker 9: I think coaching in the IVY League and maybe it's
Speaker 9: some other institutions that are maybe higher academically, the coaches
Speaker 9: know that their contract is not dependent upon making the
Speaker 9: NT double A tournament very year, their contracts dependent upon graduating.
Speaker 9: Do not get on probation and be somewhat competitive, And
Speaker 9: maybe that's the way it should be, but it's not
Speaker 9: that way. I mean, look look at these idiots in Columbus.
Speaker 9: They wanted Ryan Day fired after they lost to Michigan.
Speaker 4: Fired. The guy's record is seventy and ten and they want.
Speaker 1: To when you take it, when you take that, when
Speaker 1: you take when you take the head coaching job at
Speaker 1: Ohio State, you know, the only thing that the alumni
Speaker 1: that you know, the board cares about is beating Michigan.
Speaker 1: You know that when you take that. He knew that
Speaker 1: when he took that job, and he has not been
Speaker 1: able to successfully beat Michigan at Ohio State. And that's
Speaker 1: one of the requirements of holding that job.
Speaker 4: Andy, what was the national title of there's three things.
Speaker 9: I know, Ohio State, you gotta do three things. You
Speaker 9: gotta beat Michigan, win the Big Ten, and win the
Speaker 9: National champion r.
Speaker 1: Two out of three, eight bad. Two out of three,
Speaker 1: eight bad. But but I wasn't the one calling for
Speaker 1: Ryan Day to be fired. My buddy Doug Bonson, who's
Speaker 1: an Ohio State alum, he wasn't happy about it, but
Speaker 1: he wasn't calling for him to be fired. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, common sense comes in when there's a national
Speaker 1: championship at stake.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, a lot of people are idiots, you know that.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't use the term idiots. I think expectations are
Speaker 4: so ridiculous.
Speaker 9: They're off the roof of a building. That's how much
Speaker 9: these expectations are on people. And maybe that's a good thing,
Speaker 9: you know. I think when expectations.
Speaker 4: Are high, caused by the.
Speaker 9: Fan base, I think the team has pressure on them
Speaker 9: to do it maybe even better. I don't think there's
Speaker 9: a lot of expectations at the University of Cincinnati. I
Speaker 9: really know, expectations are somewhat low. Expectations this year were
Speaker 9: make the tournament. They won't even make the n I
Speaker 9: t This year expectations are low. If the expectations are
Speaker 9: I'll give you an example. When Bob Huggins was hired his
Speaker 9: first year, coming up a twenty lost season by Tony Yates.
Speaker 9: He was hired and at his news conference when I
Speaker 9: was there, he said, we're going to make the tournament
Speaker 9: this year. People rolled their eyes. They made the ni T.
Speaker 9: They made the ni T that first year. He strove
Speaker 9: and his own expectations.
Speaker 4: He pushed them.
Speaker 9: He got players to come in, They worked hard, He
Speaker 9: worked his rare end off and he's a hell of
Speaker 9: a coach. And I tell you right now, I wish
Speaker 9: Bob Huggins would come back and coach the Cincinnati this year,
Speaker 9: if in fact, they do let west Miller go.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's possible that Huggs would be back
Speaker 1: on the bench for UC next year if they found
Speaker 1: a way to unburden themselves with Wes Miller.
Speaker 9: Well, if the other Miller is coaching his Xavier, if
Speaker 9: he ran a dirty program in Arizona, it's very possible
Speaker 9: that Bob Huggins could come back.
Speaker 3: You always go back to dirty program in Arizona.
Speaker 1: And he never was charged, He never was charged with anything.
Speaker 9: It was his program, and he's responsible. That's the way
Speaker 9: I told Rick Patino lost.
Speaker 4: His job at Louisville.
Speaker 9: He was responsible. He lost his job when they had
Speaker 9: hooks coming into the dorm. He said he didn't know
Speaker 9: about it, but he lost his job. Why he's responsible,
Speaker 9: he has to know about it.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe Rick Patino shouldn't have been sleeping with the
Speaker 1: athletic director's wife or an athletic trainer's wife either on
Speaker 1: the sly, maybe that had les a little bit to
Speaker 1: do with it.
Speaker 9: I'd have to do with it what I have to
Speaker 9: do with this program being dirty.
Speaker 3: But I didn't say Rick Patino's program was dirty.
Speaker 4: It wasn't Louisville. It was bad. Hook is going into
Speaker 4: the dorm.
Speaker 3: Andy, have you ever been in a room with hookers?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: Never, You've never been in a room with hookers?
Speaker 1: Not?
Speaker 3: No, not? Maybe?
Speaker 1: Why why would I at Red Spring Training in Florida?
Speaker 1: You know Mon's venus or something like that. You've never
Speaker 1: been in a room with snippers or hookers?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: Does your wife listen to this broadcast?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: It's that you know? Well, feel free to see.
Speaker 4: Does I mean? And I am? I would tell you
Speaker 4: if I was. Why would I be. I mean, why
Speaker 4: why would I go.
Speaker 3: You're a red blooded American mail you have urges.
Speaker 4: My old urges that remain in my home.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, all right, well Wendy must be exhausted. I
Speaker 3: guess I don't know. I don't know. So anyway, what
Speaker 3: last thoughts here?
Speaker 4: Yes? Yes, go ahead, all right? My last yeah, well.
Speaker 1: My last thought Andy is I think you were you
Speaker 1: are blinded to the fact that nil money is making
Speaker 1: these players, in some cases less hungry to perform.
Speaker 3: And you didn't see that.
Speaker 1: You did not see that before the nil and the
Speaker 1: transfer portal came into being in college athletics.
Speaker 3: And also.
Speaker 1: And also, Vanderbilt and Northwestern will never win any college
Speaker 1: championship strictly because of the requirements to attend school there,
Speaker 1: because their athletes actually attend school.
Speaker 4: You see that.
Speaker 9: That's a full popic lest those schools. Maybe they won't
Speaker 9: win football and basketball, they had won championships, They won
Speaker 9: things in track and field, in baseball, take one other sports. Basically,
Speaker 9: what's the difference, Well, so what's the difference?
Speaker 4: I understand? I mean, I think I.
Speaker 1: Think overall, I think I think overall, I think overall, swimming, volleyball,
Speaker 1: and baseball players are smarter than football and basketball players.
Speaker 3: That's what I think.
Speaker 9: Oh geez, I don't want to put brains as opposed
Speaker 9: to brawn them. I don't think it makes a difference.
Speaker 9: If you're an athlete, you have it in your heart,
Speaker 9: not between your ears. All right, it's in your heart.
Speaker 9: If you want to win, your.
Speaker 4: Win, that's it.
Speaker 9: And you have to have a good teacher to help
Speaker 9: you win well, and the teacher is the coach you.
Speaker 1: Also you also have to have it between your ears
Speaker 1: and between your.
Speaker 3: Legs because you have to have some cahunies.
Speaker 4: We gets tough, all right, Yeah, I agree that.
Speaker 1: All right, Andy, thank thank you so much for spending
Speaker 1: time and filling this hole.
Speaker 4: Thank you all right. Good Andy.
