Transcript
- Isaac Rowe: What's going on, you don't know, Ball Podcast Nation. Welcome to the show. We are back after our spring break. everybody is here Alex is here but he'll be joining the show a little later and a ⁓ medical scare I'm just kidding medical emergency medical emergency basically bro I mean ⁓ but ⁓ go as you can see we have the Mesa gun game on again well actually they can't see it ⁓ yeah as you can see we'll be a little distracted yeah but ⁓ we have a lot to get into this week we had the Masters play this last past week we had the Pistons claiming the number one seed. We have NBA playoffs starting here. We have the Red Wings missing the playoff for the 10th year in a row. And they did the same thing. March slump yet again. March slump. then we have drought and hockey right now. Tigers Tigers on a what? Nine game winning streak, 10 game winning streak. Tigers have won five in a row. Five. Close, but no cigar. You're a time traveler or something. No way. Did he catch that? But, um, Yeah, a lot to get into. And we have the NFL draft next week and tune in for our live stream of the NFL draft. be the four of us here for the first 10 picks, maybe first round. We don't really know how long it'll go. Maybe three days. Maybe three days. We'll see. It'll be a, it'll be fun. But, uh, all right. What do you guys want to start with first? Let's start with the Pistons. Well, I'll just say this. I'm as a Pistons fan, we've been known, we're going to have the first seed for a little bit now, maybe the last three weeks, but, uh, I'm just really excited for playoff basketball man, because Pistons were the sixth seed last year. We played New York. Team obviously wasn't as good. Culture wasn't as set. But man, just watching Detroit Pistons playoff basketball at home was something special. And I'm really excited to see that again and have them go deeper into the playoffs. And I'll just say this, I want Charlotte. I really do. People say like, the ⁓ fifth ⁓ squeaked by the heat and that's another reason why I'm not scared of the Hornets they're playing the heat at home and they win by one point and just the playing game and I still have to beat Orlando and Orlando gets to play at home the 76ers get the seventh seed and then the Trailblazers beat the Phoenix Suns to get the seventh seed and then the Warriors just beat the Clippers last night and they were the away team so now the ⁓ sons and warriors are playing for that final playoff spot and that team will have the pleasure of getting absolutely destroyed by the thunder. So, ⁓ yeah, the playoffs are going to shape up all the games start, ⁓ Saturday. this Saturday or next Saturday is when the official first round start Pistons game will be on Sunday. So will definitely be watching that. And then I will report back next week and hopefully the Pistons are just destroying whoever they're playing. ⁓ but Yeah, we didn't. Did we talk about Michigan's national championship at all? No, but I wanted to wait till at least Alex. ⁓ yeah. All right. What do you think? You guys looking forward to anything in the playoffs? Your boy Kawai's out now. So it's like had to bring it up then. Yeah. I will say it's impressive. The Clippers even made the plan because they started the year like four and 16 or something like that. They go on a crazy winning streak. They did. Yeah. Clippers are a solid team, man. I think it's just coaching. I think it's time to get rid of Ty Lue. try something else out. You know, all your players are pretty old now. I think you have Darius Garland now, which is nice. You traded James Harden for him, but, you know, Clippers it's time to, it's time to renew. You might have to rebuild for a little bit. You've been good for a while, but it's, time to rebuild, really have some rough years. Pistons did that thunder did that look at us now. Number one seeds in the, in the East. So, ⁓ a couple of things that I'm looking forward to, I texted in the group chat and no one responded. Maybe a week ago, two weeks ago. I said, if LeBron wins a championship this year with nobody around him, I'll consider him to go. I remember reading that text. I'm sorry. I I remember reading it too. But I honestly, I think he's already the goal. He's not going to win this year. He's not. I don't even think he'll beat Houston. I took Houston to beat that. I was just saying, I mean, if he does this by himself, which he is pretty much alone right now, Lucas hurt. was ⁓ So and then another thing one year old brah go do it man. Another thing I'm looking forward to is seeing when Benyana in the playoffs. I think this is his first playoffs right. Or they was he in it last year. They barely missed it last. missed it. So this is the first playoff. Yep. And I think they're one of the best teams in the West. So it's going to be a number two. It's going to be exciting to see. I'm excited to see them versus the thunder in the conference finals. I think the West is the what I think this is a playoffs where you kind of just wait to see what the conference finals look like because on the east it's most likely going to be Pistons on the east it's most likely going to be Pistons Celtics and then you have Thunder Spurs on the west side so I'm really excited both I mean Thunder and Spurs they have some I don't know if they've played each other in the playoffs and they have some historic matchups and yeah for sure and then the Pistons and Celtics I mean that history kind of writes itself you already mean, that goes back to Isaiah Thomas and Larry Bird days. So, um, I think it's just gonna be good to see the Spurs in the Western Conference finals again. Yeah. The Spurs are part of the, like the part of the, I don't know, not the best games, but a of the best games in the playoffs that I can remember. Yeah. So with Timmy and Kawhi and Tony Parker and Mike and Obly, I coach pop at the hill. And coach Bob could still be coaching, but I think he's so old now. don't even know how old he is. Is it any part of the board of the Spurs right now or something like that? Yeah. They had a guy named Mitch Johnson take over. or is it Mitch Johnson? Something like that. Or miss Johnson might be a play caller or is that Gus Johnson? That's Gus Johnson's. I think his name might be Mitch Johnson then. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah. That's my coach. That's my coach. But yeah, I'm, I'm excited, man. I just, I just want. Saturday to be here already. I'm looking forward to seeing all the crowds be the same color shirt and everything and Yeah, it should be good. I get it. I'm gonna try to go at one time or now the Pistons play the Hornets I might but probably not because the cheapest ticket for a Pistons game like I'm not going to sit upper deck for over a hundred bucks right away Good catch. Yeah, dude. We're playing great against USC right now. I know for real ⁓ Can't Connor get you free tickets not to Pistons. He doesn't work and the ⁓ the the ⁓ that's crazy. One of the pirates guys got like 160 million never even played a game. Oh my God. So they're really trusting him. Yeah. My boy, I would just start playing like ass and then they would drop. I retire and all that money's guaranteed. So I would just retire. Yeah. Is it all guaranteed in baseball? If it's signed, I would imagine there's got to be some kind of clause in the contract that doesn't let you from doing that, but you got to be a competitor to want to win. Yeah. there's a, I don't know. Isn't what What's going on Max Clark? I thought he was our next superstar. think he's doing all right on the mudhounds mudhounds mudhounds mudhounds. What is that? Mudhounds. That's triple A team. Okay. Step below the MLB for the Tigers. Gotcha. Yeah. He wasn't doing good in spring training, but I think he's doing all right in triple A. He didn't have a great batting average when he was, he got pulled up for the Tigers rec spring training and then he was terrible. He maxed out. that really ⁓ That was the only way you could have a rating or an attribute over 300 so you could already have a 99 3 but if you bought a shooting sleeve that gave you plus three three-pointer you would have an 102 three-pointer. my god. So shout out Chris Smoove. Chris Kronk. Colby Kronk. Colby Kronk. out Chris Smoove because I just remember his my player always was stripped out he had an arm sleeve headband, sleeve, knee pad. Yeah, you gotta hide them feet. Keep them low. Keep them low. ⁓ What about flight? Flight? mean, there's no helping him. He's so uncoordinated. I was telling someone the other day, I'm like, hey, you remember June flight? This year it's June Leb. Watch out. And yeah, that's that's what I'm telling y'all. Like, watch out, bro. Because I'm not going to be talking to me like that. we do that series, bro, June Leb. June lab. ⁓ I'm saying Jack and I, there we go. That's what I like to say. We already have a team name yet. That's all right. I came up with one for y'all. Can you avoid death and still play people? Yeah. Not like me. can't. What the does that mean? Kobe Bryant. ⁓ welcome. ⁓ welcome. I think. All right. So I guess I'll get into this now, but I came up with so I rebranded our team. We're the stars now. So let's go. I read you guys were shooting have a team shooting stars. You guys are the generals. The general that I think it makes sense for both of you guys because you have a literally you act like a war general to all your teams. What are you talking about? Maybe all the floor general maybe. No, all the camps you set your team on the chat. And the way you coach Mesa God is just like we're boys. I think I think generals is great. So I compiled like, I have this like doc. has like our player pictures and everything, our team. there's your guys's logo. There's ours. And then we have all of our like awards here. So obviously Alex and I are winners of a bunch. And then Isaac's side over here. Not much going, but you do have to. We don't have anything bro. But so I was thinking once we do this series, I, laid out the groundwork and everything. it's a two on two full court game, seven game or seven game series. ⁓ First team to 40 points wins. Apparently just scored. Bang. There we go. We'll be in the shit out of USC. So the game ends once a team reaches 40 quarters end at every 10 points, halftime, a mandatory three to five minute break. Each team gets four timeouts per game. Timeouts can be used at any point. ⁓ Switch sides at half. And then if you lose the challenge you lose a timeout and the opportunity to challenge again if you win you keep your time out and you can challenge again and Then I had chat GBT come up with a series like preview Because I had it study film. ⁓ no and look at like stats and stuff So I mean it's it's a lot but I'll just say the prediction that came up with so entering the series the stars should be considered favorites due to the presence of the most reliable primary score stronger historical results and clearer offensive structure. Their ability to generate half court offense provides a higher floor from game to game. However, the matchup projects as a competitive one rather than one sided. The generals possess a physical edge and a variant shooter capable of altering individual games. The projected expert result, the stars win the series four to two. Damn, bro. all that. Might as well call us the underdogs. ⁓ what it thinks. ⁓ they just numbers really. Just wait till we got the court. ⁓ epic. ⁓ God. We are killing these boys. Good work. Good work. Good ⁓ Yeah, we got it. We got to start because ⁓ record this if I do as like a daily upload on our channel. That's what I'm thinking. I'll keep the stats and everything. ⁓ so. I'm going to go into what it says you two need to do to win. Sorry, because it said that. Jack need to hit threes. All right. The generals operate through a different approach. Isaac Rowe serves as the interior focal point using strength, downhill drives, and rim pressure to create efficient scoring opportunities. Wait who? JJ. He's thrown 43 times? That's nuts. His presence near the basket also anchors their defensive identity, particularly as a shot contesting and rebounding force. Jack Witt compliments that interior style as a perimeter shooter with high confidence and volume tendencies. willingness to continue shooting regardless of previous results introduces volatility. this means a strong shooting performance from wit has the potential to shift individual games quickly making him a key swing factor across the series 50 40 90 club man that's what I believe too I believe it but yeah for the generals wit's shooting efficiency will likely determine their ceiling so you're the X factor is what it's saying I mean Isaac usually plays pretty consistent his ability to convert open looks created by Isaac Rose drives may decide close contests, especially in games where it's getting close in the later minutes. So. Nice. Yeah. But I think we'll see. We'll see if you guys can beat the narrative here. I mean, last time, literally the last series we did, we did. We did have Joe on our team, so we had to get in playing time. But not this time. The we stole a game like that. We stole a game in that series in South Haven. We know you didn't steal a game You should have probably won the series We should have won the series you won game one you stole that one from us because we had a we had like an eight-point lead and then two we had a lead again almost choked it. You guys took the lead back Joe hit the most crazy I got like I got a fine. I got it. I watched it recently I got so I was watching this game at work and I started dying laughing because dude Jack fouls the shit out of Joe and he doesn't call it and he somehow gets the put back and makes it. got to find this for you all because it's so I don't think I felt Joe never never. We clean up. We clean. You clobbered him, The fact that we should have won that series looking back at it. How old is that game? Three years old. Three years old. Three summers ago. I'm playing at my heaviest weight ever. it was it was three ⁓ is this on the boys ⁓ my god think it was on the boys was it 22 23 yeah 23 summer 23 was it okay three no i we should have won that series dude we should have we were that was the best second game we should have had that second game yeah and then in the one one alex hit the game winner to win the series yeah i remember that i should have won the video in chat jbt How does chat GPT know our strains? I just watched all of it. just got your aura. So, dude, OK, we all got to watch this because it's so freaking funny. OK, here we go. This is the final game. I it's like 38 to 40 or 38, 39 or something. Yeah, he does that dumbass little jump right here. And you set the screen on me. Oh, yeah, I remember this. I didn't clobber him. jumped in. I so mad, because we both went up to Caleb and there was no one on Joe. course, it was wide open. should have shot that. I should have just passed it to him. right in his hands. I was like, are you with me? No, but dude, I'm excited. I think doing full court, that allows for more fast break stuff, too. So I think the games will go by way quicker. And our full course really not that no, it's not a whole. No, it'll be fun. We played on it recently and I felt fine on it. Yeah, I was in UG so whatever. Now that I'm running a little bit more, I feel like I'll be better shape because I was at me too. I was huffing and puffing. I Did you guys wait? Did you guys just play with Levi or something? Yeah, it was me and Levi. That was me versus Levi and Alex. And then it was me and Alex versus Gibson and Levi. Oh, we call it on basketball. Oh, Oh, ball ball ball. was fun. But no, I'm definitely looking forward to that. It'll be fun to do maybe. Maybe next Sunday or something. Yeah, we could we could think of something. It'd be a lot of fun. You guys talk about the national championship at all. Now we wait. We mentioned it. we're the champions on. You got to talk about it. Yeah, let's talk about it. It's crazy that Dusty took two years to get a Michigan team as a national championship. And how many years has it been there? And can't do shit. Yeah. One one national title. To be fair, Michigan also bought their roster. you know, talk about that. Yeah. But I was hearing somewhere that Michigan state spent more on theirs though, which I don't know if that's true, but that nobody, you know, who wouldn't admit that all their fans. Yeah. So, yeah, no way. Yeah. Big win. I was watching in Punta Cana. So it was awesome. That must've been dope. It was fun. The semi-final congrats. Congrats. The summit and final was way more fun because there was Michigan and Arizona fans there. Oh yeah. Oh, that was so fun. mean, that game was not even close though. It was not a fun game to watch. No, it wasn't. But shout out Ozone. He was in Punta Cotta with me. No way. Yeah, me and him were living it happen to be there? Well, technically I happened to be there. But Owen was playing to go. I was playing to go the entire time, but I just wanted to surprise him. Oh, okay. Gotcha. And we watched the game and we were watching it. It was rowdy for a second. then the second time we turned, we'd look behind us, nobody was there. because Michigan was kicking the shit out of them. So it was so fun. know, it was a good game and good win in the national championship. I just didn't think Arizona was going to get the belt like that. I didn't either. I thought we were going to lose. Yeah. Arizona couldn't hit a shot. That's the thing with Michigan. Like you don't get open looks a lot. And when other teams are getting, I'm like, you can't even, they were missing all their open looks. Yep. Mullins. He wasn't making a thing that game. No, no. I don't think. Michigan didn't even make it three in the first half. Yeah, they two threes the entire game. They were still winning at the end of the first half without making it a single three. Michigan is a... Michigan played a good enough game to win a national championship. So, know, congrats to them. mean, I'm not the biggest basketball fan, but what am I? But damn it, am I happy to win? When my boys, Amazin' Blue win, you know, I got to be a super fan for a second. Right. Definitely during the juan era juan era but not even during the beeline era. No not the juan era. This is a juan and I got him when I think I got it when they hunter Dickinson was still there. I think it was 20 when Hunter Dickinson's first year. So they were OK but they were also the rest of the time I wore this is they were just dog shit. So you know well go blue. They got there they got over the hump. and I, it was a good, it was a good tournament. would say. Yeah. Solid tournament. think I thought it was a really great lot of drama. I thought it was awesome. Dude. I just think what if Duke didn't do that? ⁓ seriously, it would have been a hell of a national championship. was a good, very lost them beginning of the year. So who would have known what happened? was a good final four, let alone, but Duke didn't choke. Yeah, it would have been different. have been different. Maybe. Who knows? Michigan. Michigan was playing at their highest level, I think, by the time. ⁓ yeah. By the time the tournament was hitting the second round. Honestly, though, Alabama gave him a run for their money. Honestly, yeah. Yeah. I think they were the toughest team that played them. It was a crazy pace that they were playing in that first half. It was a shot after shot. Howard Howard kind of gave one run for their. Yeah. If the game ended at the first half, yeah. They definitely did. Michigan was a fun team to watch this year too. Like I can't even lie. Like I'm not the biggest fan of Michigan basketball, but. Mara was on it. Your boy Mara, my boy Mara, who I honestly I can't stand anymore now because he's like he got all the stats. He got really good. Now he's like complaining for foul calls all the time. Like, dude, just play. Just play, man. And also, I kind of like I support him, but I'm mad because he left UCLA, man. Yeah, but I wouldn't want to play for Cronin either. That sounds exhausting. So and the actual the best player in tournament. Yeah, it was. Even when he was hurt, he was still a top five player in there. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Let's let's let's let's give a rating of the tournament out of 10. What's 10? Alex, obviously, is going to be a 10 10. Caleb, I'm going to give it an eight purely because we had a lot of a lot of really good buzzer beaters that could be considered top 100 like sports moments. Kentucky's Dukes, had. VCUs. mean, yeah, I'll give him Nate. There's Nate. I'm giving a nine. It was that first time we went live for like a couple of games. It was insane that VCU North Carolina game, which that's going to be a core memory. That was a lot of fun. I lost money on that. Oh, she got damn calcium. mean, if you pause it, if you pause the YouTube video we have up at the like the white moment, all of our faces are so funny. You're so different. Your specific mind's like disbelief and everybody else is like, I wanted North I needed North Carolina to win that guy I'd give it a nine. Yeah, it was a good turn it upsets with buzzer beaters We had the good guys winning in the end Yeah, I'd rank it better than last year's yeah, even though I will say Florida Florida winning it had aura for sure like with Walter Clayton jr. And stuff like the shots he was making but having all one seeds in the finals isn't isn't too fun I would say I really liked Illinois this turn. Yeah ⁓ Illinois and Yukon that was a great game and Illinois whole tournament run even Iowa's tournament run was impressive. Yeah, that was awesome. Then taking down Florida. Yeah, it was a good tournament. Notre Dame lost the entire roster to the Transporters. That was awesome. Good tournament. Slowly rebuilding slowly rebuilding even Shrewsbury Shrewsbury still there. OK, and it's and so head coach Shrewsbury still there. Son is still there and then they have an incoming freshman is another Shrewsbury. OK, so. Wow. Yep. Last ruse in there. He's building his own roster. Yeah. It's going to have a start with rivers. But no, it was a good, tournament. I really enjoyed it. And what? All right. One more question before we move on. Where is this Michigan team rank in the top who? 10 national title winners. I mean, are they in it or are they not? I think they're in it. I think they're probably in it. Seven. Seven. Let's go. I would probably put them at like, you know, I'd just match it with my, with my eight ranking. I would just put it at eight. I think they're, I think they're just extremely well-built and their size alone kind of sets them apart from any other winner. Yeah, I agree. Alex. I mean, I, I, I, I won't be like supervised, but I do think they're in an eight, nine range, I would say as well. mean, you gotta go back and see what they did the entire season. mean, they did lose, they did lose three games. mean, but they. I think they lost three. But one of them was against Wisconsin and they shot like 90 % from three. Another one was in the big Duke, the number arguably the number two team in the country. Some kind of, but, uh, and then the next one we lost, it was in the big 10 championship game against Purdue, which was also another really good, tough school. we played day every day that what they did too, but I You know, mean, they definitely are a team that is going to be hard to replicate. I I would say, but probably not in this era, but we're in the playoffs. ⁓ let's go. I didn't notice. Probably not in this era, but, know, I just thought that what they did this entire thing we haven't seen in ever a long time. Yeah, they were just so extremely dominant. Yeah. Just so big. physical big like So well coach to dusty. I mean, I really like I really like how he coaches his players. They don't foul no, they do all the documentary on a few coaches and Dusty's included I think I mean you could you I could see this from his 2023 tournament run with FAU All his guys man, extremely smart. They play discipline. They play team basketball And they really use the three. Namaari Burnett. I knew he was going to be really good this year with Dusty May again. ⁓ yeah. And Namaari Burnett had an amazing year. I wouldn't be surprised if he goes undrafted, but he will be in the NBA getting rotational minutes someday because he's a 6'6 wing. He's strong. He's got great defensive habits. saved, Dusty really saved his NBA hopes in his career. Honestly, a lot of guys with Michigan. Roddy Gale. I've never, he didn't play this. Roddy Gale played. out of his mind this sort of did, yeah, man, I'm excited to see where they go from here. Michigan's going to be, I mean, the school to be in the Big Ten for a while for basketball. Because now they're just at the point now where they're going to keep getting great recruits because they see how fun, not only fun it is to play for Dusty May, because you saw how much camaraderie this team had. ⁓ He saved Elliott Cadeau's career. Yep. And also, if you're like a junior looking to have a crazy senior season, go play for Michigan. Yeah. Especially if you're a forward or a big. I mean, you're going to be set. So and they're going to keep getting great recruits. mean, they're already hit the portal for the Tennessee guy coming in. So he's a center. think UCLA has gotten some some size, which is what I like to see. They got like a Serbian dude. They got a Romanian guy, both like six, nine, like forwards coming in and they have experience. And then we just got two freshmen to commit to who are also big guys. So Getting the size up. I think that's the right move to do for UCLA. Cause we've been relying really heavily on guards these past two seasons. So getting some size will be really nice. So, mean, that's about it for UCLA though. That's pretty much all they've been doing. Do you think that's Michigan team beats last year's national champion? ⁓ which was Florida. I think they do. Walter. I would say, Yeah. Probably. I mean, I think Houston was really good though. I thought they should have won it. I mean, I can't Walter Clayton jr. I mean, he just had a great game that time. But Florida was also a lot better last year. This year. I was surprised Florida even kept the one seed, but it was probably just because the SEC. Yep. SEC bias, which literally doesn't run sports anymore. So that's nice. Right. Big 10. Big Big 10. Big 10 is right up amish. Sure. Hey, I will say UCLA women's basketball. Yeah. Very, very dominant tournament run. So we'll take that. And UCLA is also keeping Xavier Booker, Eric Daley Jr. and Trent Perry. So that's a good core. I say good with quotation marks, but Xavier Booker is not great. But I mean, I hope he can just improve. I hope Cronin gets on his ass and he will. Yeah. I just hope Cronin gets it. I Cronin gets that in the weight room and you know, just makes him more confident in himself and stronger. ⁓ ⁓ just want him to look like he's actually trying, you know. ⁓ Booker kind of just floats around out there. It reminds me of Andre Drummond. I don't like it. Yeah. I've been not a lot, man. Dude, he's a nonchalant Uber. I don't want to not a lot. I want a lot. All right. Anything else on the March Madness bracket? All right. College basketball comes to a close. The Masters was this past weekend. So Roy McClory wins it again. Back to back Masters champion. And honestly, it kind of got me in the mood of like just go golfing more. It's that about that time around Michigan where it's really starting to get nice out. Yeah. Why go out to the range or get We get in a tornado every other day. But it's all right. It's crazy. I don't know if you guys saw it. ⁓ word. It's a bad. ⁓ yeah. ⁓ damn. There's no trees anymore. Yeah. Don't tell me when he's just taken out. No, it's good. All right. Well, it wasn't that area either. It's just like the it was like my my area. Yeah. You're one. ⁓ Shout out, Cindy, I heard I to I went to my neighborhood the other day to check it out. And there was that like the forest behind my house. OK. Oh, we threw that out. Damn. Did I haven't used that in like three years? I don't need it anymore. Yeah. It was just about to. We all needed it. Imagine you texted me, hey, I'm looking for a hoop. You don't want that hoop, though. That's got a hole in the backboard. The rims all screwed up. Yeah. But going back to the Masters, was a good tournament. I I don't know if you got how much you guys watch it. I watched like bits and pieces of it on Saturday and Sunday when I was at Connors house. But it was fun watching Rory. Yeah. And he had that amateur within the world. He would hit a good shot and then Rory would just come up and hit an even better shot. And it's like, God, what do you do? Yeah. You know, it was like 18 years old. He's like, damn. But I was. Sheffler was going to come in. Sheffler had his day. Hey, if you didn't have that first day, he would have won the whole thing. But I was. Sheffler was going to come in. Sheffler had his day. Hey, if you didn't have that first day, he would have won the whole thing. This last two days were insane. But ⁓ I was really hoping speed for the one speed. Yeah speed I need the PJ finish. He finished at the top 15 I he the PJ championships coming up in the middle of May and if he wins a PJ championship, he has his grant whether they call it Grand Slam not Grand Slam. It's a Whatever. I think it's no he would have won This last two days were insane. But ⁓ I was really hoping speed for the one speed. Yeah speed I need the PJ finish. He finished at the top 15 I he the PJ championships coming up in the middle of May and if he wins a PJ championship, he has his grant whether they call it Grand Slam not Grand Slam. It's a Whatever. I think it's no he would have won basically what Roy did last year because Roy needed the Masters to complete his like wins of all the major championship. Jordan just needs the PGA championship. basically what Roy did last year because Roy needed the Masters to complete his like wins of all the major championship. Jordan just needs the PGA championship. So so if he wins that speaks back but but now I thought the Masters was fun. It was a good to watch that and get me in the mood to go play golf now. Right. I feel like maybe we'll go next year. Go next year. Yeah. Go to Augusta. I heard those sandwiches are so good. The food's a little bit there too. Yeah, dude. Wait, so the people there only had to pay three bucks for a sandwich? Yeah, that's honestly I think beers even like I think beers like six six. That's insane. I saw a guy with like a stack of like 12 cups in his hand. Like, the does this guy get away with it? Yeah, well, that's that's the only way I would be able to sit there for that long and like watch golfers like ⁓ be fun for first couple hours. But dude, if it's hot, it's more fun to watch it.

It's just custom of him. He's like, here's a Liu on the 16th hole. It shows the green. There's no one on it. You just see him at the top of the hill surrounded by trees and stuff. like, how the hell does this guy get up here? You know, I get a 10 shot par four too. ⁓ yeah, it was bad for him. Yeah. But. ⁓ I saw someone I saw I always see the clip. It's not Tiger, but it's somebody he takes his shoes off and he like goes into the stream of the creek. And he hits it like out of the it takes him a couple of tries to get it out of the water and like the mud. But on his third shot, he hits a perfect shot, like right next to the hole on the green. It's like, yeah, I don't know what the rule is. So Ben there. Yeah, I would I would I would done that easily. Wouldn't have got out there. I picked it up and went to the next hole. Yeah. I would have that. just kicked it further in the middle for an eight boys double bogey it's all right all right ⁓ what else we got what else do we got i think that's pretty much covered it we got is michigan spring games this week yeah we got a bunch of spring games coming up so alex is going to michigan games spring ⁓ spring game this saturday jack caleb and i are going to nord aim spring game next saturday with big blake with big blake so we'll see him there and then ⁓ this thursday We are going live for the NFL draft.

Maybe they will pick them. They want to Sonics back there. They already got Pacheco to they picking him. He called himself Taz. I was like, that's so not tough, bro. Wait, who called himself Taz? Pacheco. Oh, he's like, that's a Sonic character. No, he's not even a Sonic. Tasmanian double. Yeah. Like from Looney Tunes. Yeah, it is. It corny. People. The reporter asked me, like, so Montgomery was Knuckles. Who are you going to be shadow? He's like, you can call me Taz. No, I I'd go tails at first. Oh, that's right. Yeah. He's like, just call me. That makes more sense, I guess. I thought that's what he's saying. It's like no tabs. there's this one guy at stands tacos strategy there was this old guy he looked like mccronin ⁓ and he so he was wearing this big old chain i didn't look at what it was but it was like you remember jordan's kool-aid man chain yes so it was like one of those ones but i didn't look at what it was and i get to give him his food or whatever and i get to checking him out he's like you know what they call me i'm like what what do they call you he goes Taz.

We want them. Want the Hornets. And I don't usually get what I want. So we'll probably get the magic instead. But that'll be an easy series. So Jack. Let's wrap it up. Alex got the next champs. Go Blue. Excited for the draft. Oh yeah. It's crazy that Alex and Grayson have won three and Jeremy Indiana Florida and Michigan have won four national titles and Notre Dame has a one one. So it's all right. But they were damn close. I think they won football. What about lacrosse. All right. They were there. They were damn close to their damn close last year. Lacrosse. We win like last year. You did win it. We won it. whatever. 2026 and 2027. 2026 lacrosse is our year. But all right. Remember we don't know ball. You don't know ball. We all don't know ball.
