Episode 5.47: Bubbliest of the Bubble Teams · Return to Glory - Nebraska

0:18
The Glory podcast trying to catch Dak to talk about how much money he lost
0:23
on Saturday to the Maryland Terrapins by betting on the Huskers on the road.
0:31
Yeah, let's just say I bet on the Huskers. They didn't cover.
0:35
That's all you want to say on that. I text you that morning,
0:39
I said, it's outrageous that five and a half one underdogs and you know
0:43
what, well they lose by twenty What do I text you? Bet?
0:46
Man? You said they're on the road. Bad bet exactly? It was
0:53
so bad. I'm so I'm I've watched like four full basket start to finish
1:00
full basketball games, four losses. I don't even know how that's possible.
1:03
We've only lost five times. And you've probably watched every road game, haven't
1:07
you. I have, because those are others that are always on TV.
1:14
It's it, it does, it continues to be. I call it a
1:19
mystery, I guess, or or there's there's some reasoning behind it. And
1:25
travel let's do let's do a statistical analysis. You know they say defense travels
1:30
three pointers, don't Well, I guess I was gonna look at it from
1:34
the flip side as far as what does our defense give up and that is
1:41
true, pins and where do teams usually shoot better? I hope it is.
1:51
I mean again, Austin puts you on it, do a statistical analysis
1:55
on it, and give us, give us some actual proof. But I
1:59
mean, I think that's something that that's a theory out there that college basketball
2:02
analysts say, you know, you do you shoot better at home because it's
2:06
your home court and you're used to the environment, You're used to the crowd,
2:09
you're used to the rims, all of that. So yeah, yeah,
2:13
I think I think that is some there's some legitimacy there. I'm with
2:19
that take, but it just it does and and it's basketball season and there's
2:23
not much football going on, so here we are talking Husker basketball in a
2:25
year that that looks like it has some promise and hope to it. But
2:31
yet at the same time, it's super frustrating that we can't win a road
2:38
game. Were the bubbliest of a bubble team. There was one point that
2:45
game I need you were screwed is when that white guy came out the bench
2:46
and yeah, h's two straight threes. Announcers like, oh yeah, he
2:52
has scoring five games, like awesome bench averages. Seven points in a game
2:57
when this dude's ripped off twelve in the last three minutes, and they are
3:02
they were the worst three point percent and shooting team in the Big Ten.
3:07
And that that was the talk at the beginning of the broadcast when we were
3:09
up twelve to two and we were shooting lights out and then things just went
3:15
completely downhill from there and the game got out of hand, and that that
3:20
was obviously Saturday's game. But that's not an uncommon theme that we've seen from
3:24
this team on the road, and it does. I mean, I think
3:30
a big part of it is defending the three point line. Now you might
3:36
ask this coaching staff and they might say, that's just part of our system.
3:39
And I do think there are tons of advantages from taking away the paint,
3:46
especially against good teams. I mean, I think that's that is a
3:50
very I mean, I like it. I like that thought concept. And
3:55
that's also coming off of the Lady Oh doing the opposite and not being able
4:00
to keep a team out of the paint. But like, I think that,
4:04
I think that makes sense. Like the problem with that is you do
4:11
give teams like Maryland that teams that may not shoot at great or low average
4:15
teams in general wide open shots if they do it right and scheme it right
4:19
on the offensive end. And I do think on the road that makes a
4:23
difference. If the other team's making more shots than you are, obviously it
4:28
gives no a better chance to win. Gosh, they were hitting anything they
4:32
wanted. It was crazy, I mean, but like they were getting open
4:36
shots, but they were also hitting some shots as like that doesn't fall seven
4:42
T ten. They came in shooting three, right, and yeah, you
4:47
can look at those numbers, but I just think our defense does give up
4:51
more wide open shots, and so I mean, yeah, I agree with
4:55
you. Not all of them were wide open, but they were just getting
4:59
more shots. I think I saw a stat that said opponents against Nebraska are
5:02
averaging like twelve point three threes per game, which I mean, that's a
5:09
lot. Like we lead the Big Ten with like twelve some threes a game,
5:15
and we're the opposite by shooting threes. So it's funny because that was
5:18
Hoiberg's philosophy coming in, was kind of let it fly, and you know,
5:26
she a lot of three spread it. And we've seen a bunch of
5:29
different styles from Hoiberg where we I think we've all kind of agreed that this
5:33
year's style is it is working probably the best offensively, but it's not necessarily
5:39
up Temple. And I think that defense strategy works better when you're hitting your
5:44
shots. I mean we yes, when you're making shots. We only scored
5:49
fifty points, like are we weren't able to set our defense at all.
5:55
And so when you already have a bad perimeter defense and then you can't set
5:58
your bad perimeter defense, you're screwed. Yeah, I mean that that.
6:03
Yeah, if you can if you can make shots, it's gonna help you
6:06
on the defensive end. If you can get stops on the defensive end,
6:10
it's going to give you confidence on the offensive end to score. Just talking
6:15
about the ebbs and flows of of of a basketball game, so that you
6:19
mentioned the bubble Austin, and how were the bubbliest of bubble teams before the
6:27
Maryland game? Coming off our wins before that against Ohio State Northwestern, I
6:31
mean we were, we were a solemn nine seed. I mean it was
6:38
up there now the Maryland loss, and I think the way we lost put
6:42
us right back there on that bubble line. But I mean before that,
6:46
you and the Maryland. You're you're you're feeling pretty dang good. But that's
6:51
gonna be the way it is the rest of the year. Win a road
6:56
game one or two, doesn't matter who it is, We're gonna be okay.
7:02
Yeah. I think we'll still make it. I really do. But
7:08
gosh, we are like the epitome of what you'd expect, Like this team
7:11
has greatness in them, but they are so bad every other night that people
7:17
walking on the bubble. Yeah, they I think they were like two teams
7:25
above the last team out or something like that. I saw to day and
7:28
they were not even on that line going to the American in the Maryland game.
7:30
They dropped big time after that one. It was really rough. And
7:34
the rankings continue or the metrics, I guess i'll say, continue to not
7:40
like us. I don't think the Big ten guys is great. I mean,
7:45
well you talked a little bit about that. I don't think from what
7:47
the Big Tens normally is, it's down. Now that being said, I
7:53
still think they're going to put six, seven, eight teams in the Big
7:58
Ten. I mean they're just going to so h you stay above that line,
8:03
we're probably gonna get in. And that ball is winning. I mean,
8:07
you look at the rest of our schedule. Here, we do play
8:09
Michigan twice, who's towards the bottom of the conference. We play Rutgers and
8:13
Penn State again, we play Minnesota again. We play a lot of these
8:16
teams that that we've lost to already, that we've lost there, but they're
8:22
towards the bottom of the Big So there's a lot of again hope and and
8:28
still there. Now, I say that because the next few games are gonna
8:33
be tough. I mean, the guys are gonna be tough, which at
8:37
home, then we go to Illinois, then we go to Northwestern Northwestern Tony
8:41
and you guys watched that battle their butts off against Purdue. I mean,
8:48
it's gonna be tough here, and I can easily I mean there there's there's
8:50
there's a chance that we can lose all three and people are gonna we're gonna
8:56
be out. We're gonna be out of the tournament, not even the bubble
8:58
anymore, and like Rightfley, So but you get to keep in mind the
9:03
rest of our schedule, like we're easily going to have a chance to earn
9:05
our way back in there. Yeah, it's gonna be close. Like,
9:11
if we go five hundred the rest of the year, we're probably in.
9:16
I was, I was just adding this up. You've been out rebounded by
9:18
thirty three rebounds on the road and that's counting rebound out rebounding KSE State by
9:24
twenty So wow, yeah, we've freaking killed k State. Great fine,
9:31
Dak great, fine, look at you who Well, they don't box out
9:37
all It's itacks me off watching him on the road. They don't box out.
9:41
I don't know what what they're doing. Renk matches raised his hands up
9:45
and doesn't do anything. Yeah, it's not good. It's not good.
9:50
That that I think is a big issue. The other one that I want
9:54
to mention on the road that's hurting us is turnovers. And Maryland is one
10:01
of the best, if not the best, defensive team in the conference,
10:05
especially at forcing turnovers. So give them credit there, but you cannot turn
10:09
the ball over on the road because that is what teams thrive on, is
10:15
that momentum, and if you start going and spiraling down, it's gonna get
10:18
your beat. We continue to do that, now, all that is inconsistency,
10:26
and especially from a turnover standpoint, there's to me one very and I'm
10:33
not this isn't blaming anybody, but just one very obvious answer for a lot
10:39
of that, and that that being that we don't have a like true point
10:46
guard on this roster. And that is not saying DeMarcus Lawrence is a bad
10:54
point guard. He does some good things, but he's like not what you
10:56
think of your typical point guard on a Division one Power five team. And
11:03
that consistency, the leadership, the all of that comes from having someone that
11:11
takes care of the team for you and and games on the road, like
11:13
that's one piece that we're lacking. And and then on top of that,
11:20
who's our go to guy? Like you guys tell me when we when we
11:24
need to, when we need someone to step up? It? I think
11:30
it is. Yeah, it is. Whether it should be or not,
11:33
I don't know, but that's who it is. I mean, that's the
11:37
pros and cons of having a very balanced team. CJ. Wilcher. I
11:43
mean, all these guys have said have made big plays. Obviously Mask is
11:46
up for thirty four or whatever it was the one game or something. It's
11:50
just we have several guys. So yeah, there's perks of being very very
11:54
balanced and I agree with you. Casey is kind of that guy. But
11:58
at the same time, Case's five ft eleven, Like, if you defend
12:01
him the right way, you can easily shut him down, as teams have
12:07
shown to do, especially on the road. So to me, just again
12:11
that you get a point guard around this team that that is, even if
12:16
they're just a game manager, that brings in brains everybody in and that helps
12:22
a lot when you go on the road to a hostile environment in Big ten,
12:26
which, like we said, we're gonna need to win a couple of
12:30
those, which don't you have a real point guy on the roster. But
12:37
he gambled or something like that. Yeah, Uless, Yeah, I mean,
12:41
I mean he never actually ever played. He got so yes, and
12:46
no, ideally Sam Hoyburg would be our point guard where he's too small,
12:50
Well, yeah he's not. He's not. I mean again, JaMarcus Lawrence.
12:54
He's is not what you think of as a as a true point guard.
13:00
He's more presence, that's for sure. Does he does he run point
13:03
most of the time? Or is it Bryce Williams? It's usually him,
13:05
it's usually Marcus Bryce talk to Yeah, it is. It's just a very
13:13
balanced roster and and there's a lot of pros and and there's some cons to
13:18
that as well. So again I think where we're at, where are we
13:22
We're We're a very inconsistent bubble team right now. But that's what bubble teams
13:30
are, right, That is exactly every year what bubble teams are believes of
13:35
the bubbles. You gotta win tomorrow because I don't see any shot in hell
13:39
you bet ill and noois on the road. Well, and see that's where
13:43
it's gonna be hard for. I mean, Husker fans and and bracketologies and
13:48
and the metrics, they're all gonna respond to it. If we lose three
13:50
in a row, we will, But you cannot. You can't look at
13:54
that and say our season's over. We're horrible. Like, no, disagree.
14:01
I know we mentioned it earlier, But look at the rest of our
14:03
schedule and what we have, and if we can string out wins at the
14:07
end of the year against teams that are towards the bottom of the conference,
14:11
will be fine. We played Michigan at home, Penn State at home,
14:13
Minnesota at home, Ruggers at home. That's four games that if we are
14:20
a tournament team we will win, like we just will. And we play
14:22
at Michigan, at Ohio State, at Indiana, who we beat Ohio State,
14:28
Michigan towards the bottom of the conference. In Indiana we beat them too,
14:33
so we could win now after Illinois, like every one of those games
14:37
is a winnable game that we have played and beat, a team that we've
14:43
played and beat, or a team that we have led late and then blown
14:45
a big lead late. Correct. So that's where people just you just can't
14:50
give up, I guess, And I'm saying that because I kind of gave
14:54
up on them after the which game was that the Ruggers loss? I think
14:58
I said they're done, they're completely dope, and then we go on and
15:01
we went to home. So we'll see. It's just it'll it'll be an
15:07
interesting February here with Nebraska basketball, and we'll see where we end up.
15:15
Well, I think go ahead, Dak. I think you're playing the best
15:18
team in the Big Ten tomorrow, Wisconsin. I think Wisconsin. Have you
15:26
guys, have you guys looked at the line yet? Because I saw it.
15:28
You guys seen a line yet? Don't look at I haven't. It's
15:33
at Nebraska. I haven't looked, but Wisconsin four and a half, I
15:39
would guess six and a half. Wisconsin one and a half? What,
15:43
holy shit, one and a half? The number sixteen country coming to Lincoln.
15:50
There is no reason it should be that low. Actually, as I'm
15:54
checking now, it's down to one. They're starting to an I was on
16:00
the road, it'd be Wisconsin by fifteen and a half. It'd be a
16:03
lot. So I thought that was interesting. I mean, that just tells
16:10
you what betters do think of this team. And yeah, I mean number
16:17
sixteen, sixteen is coming to Lincoln and basically it's a pick them game.
16:22
That is insane there. That's wow. I the casino tonight. Yeah,
16:29
you're right, I'm dis blaming Wisconsin. If that's the case. The Peacock
16:33
announcer said, if the tournament's playing PBA Nebraska being national champions, that's probably
16:41
we're gonna be close. Potentially could be an Omaha. I don't want to
16:45
be an Oma. I want to be somewhere else because I'm going, but
16:48
I don't know. I just don't want to go to Omaha. I'd rather
16:51
go somewhere different. That's fair, that's fair. But if it isn't Oma.
16:56
There'll be a lot of Husker fits. Yeah, we ever made the
17:00
Final four? Him going the title four. We can go in Oklahoma Go's
17:07
this year? Yeah, dak Or Sinners. What's going on there? I
17:12
don't know if you guys have watched last night was one of the worst games
17:15
I've ever watched my life. They both are in the bonus. They're in
17:19
the bonus with fifteen minutes left and second half both of them, so it
17:22
was just free throws the whole way out. It sucks. They won by
17:26
twenty, but it sucked after dropping twelve spots in the polls. I remember
17:33
that. Yeah, I gave up on them after the last game. So
17:36
there we go. So who do we like nationally? Because right now I
17:42
saw this yesterday and it trigued me. Did you know I'm fat? Did
17:48
you know that in Division one college basketball, no team has zero one losses.
17:57
Everybody has at least two losses on the air, Really, I see
18:07
no, Houston does have two losses. Yep, everybody has two losses.
18:11
And I think that's interesting because Purdue loses to Nebraska. I guess what they
18:18
don't drop like that? That that's what you're saying with a lot of these
18:23
top teams like Arizona right now, guys, Arizona is number three in the
18:27
country and in the net rankings, and they've they have five losses. Hmm.
18:37
Now I think it the ap there are eleven but your top teams right
18:41
now, Yukon, Purdue, North Carolina who just lost Houston. I mean,
18:47
they have two losses. It's interesting. So I mean, that's why
18:49
Wisconsin said at number six. And and it's not like Wisconsin was overly impressive
18:55
when we played them on the road. Now they beat us, yes,
18:57
but like that's that's where college basketball is at right now. It is very
19:03
spread out. There is not top heavy, and I think that bodes well
19:10
for I mean even teams like us, who I mean the tournament teams.
19:14
It's wide open and it's not like you have to, you know, be
19:18
the best for a seven game series. It's one game. And I think
19:22
the tournament's wide open this year. So here's what we're gonna do. And
19:26
I didn't tell you we're gonna do this, So it's gonna be very little
19:30
thought. Give me a favorite, a mid tier, and a long shot.
19:34
Right now that you see the long shot cannot be in the top twenty
19:38
five. Your mid tier can be your favorite on your winner right now.
19:45
I don't know how much college basketball you guys watch outside of our teams,
19:49
but as of right now, on February first, I've actually got an int
19:59
college bastballs year. Some years I don't. It's been good. Then that's
20:02
gonna have the money picks. I'll go, honestly the hardest one. Well,
20:12
you guys are all go because I've thought about this a little bit.
20:15
So one team that I've really liked watching, I know we have the same
20:22
middle tier one we might we could. Yeah, my favorite team that I
20:29
like watching right now, and they're a team that well maybe they're not even
20:37
a middle maybe there you could call them middle tier, but it's what happened
20:41
to Yukon last year. They're struggling right now and I just mentioned them earlier.
20:47
Arizona I think is going to be fine in March, and I think
20:51
they were a top three team early in the year. They're working through some
20:56
kinks right now, but they're gonna be a it could be a four seed,
21:00
three or four, but they're my top favorite team here. But I
21:06
think could win it all and people are gonna overlook them. And I think
21:10
it only helps the mid tier. This is where I really don't know.
21:18
I didn't have a great one, but I will no, I'll go here.
21:26
This where all go they can be, they can be. I'm gonna
21:30
go Auburn my big tier. I really like Bruce Pearl and I think,
21:38
you know, tough coach. I just think he demands a lot of his
21:42
players. They're sixteen to four right now, ranked sixteen, but I like
21:49
watching him too. I just I think they play hard. Now do they
21:53
have the talent this year? I don't know. I don't know for sure.
21:56
I've only watched a couple of their games, like all that are on
21:59
TV. Long shots just too hard. Should I don't even know, don't
22:07
really have a great one. I want to FAU would have been a good
22:11
one, but they're not. They're they're ranked, so can't do them.
22:17
I'm just gonna throw one out. There's someone that's receiving votes right now that
22:22
is normally around, but they're not very good this year. Gonzaga. I
22:26
was like balling them too. They're receiving goals in top twenty five, yep
22:32
four, what they're not even their bracket projections give me Gonzaga. They're gonna
22:41
get in sneak in. I think my UH is our favorite, the favorite
22:48
we expect to win it all, our favorite team to watch win it all.
22:53
All right, I'm gonna stick with Kansas. I think they're just too
22:56
talented. I think they've had a couple of bad games, but they've got
23:03
I think they have one of the better rosters. They kicked as last night
23:07
they did well. We'll see how it goes. They have a little bit
23:11
of a gauntlet here if they play Houston Baylor Texas Tech Oklahoma by U Baylor
23:17
Houston again, so we'll see. By the time they get to the Big
23:21
twelve tournament, they should be pretty well battle tested. My mid tier one,
23:25
which I thought you were gonna pick Iowa ste that's a good one,
23:30
okay. And then my long shot, I'm actually big ten bias gonna throw
23:37
out Northwestern all right. I don't mind it, boo booie. I think
23:48
they're actually good enough that they're they're barely outside of the top. Like they've
23:52
been ranked. Have they been ranked this year? They haven't been close,
23:56
right, I think they've been close. It might have been early on.
23:59
It might have been early, but I think they're actually good enough to make
24:02
like a like a surprising Elite eight run or maybe Big ten is always sucks
24:06
in the term. That's why it's hard to pick a Big ten teams.
24:08
I know, Dak, who you got my favorite? I'll go North Carolina.
24:15
Even though they lost last night. I still think they're really experienced and
24:21
well Baycott's been there about fifteen years. Probably our J. Davis is fun
24:26
to watch. They're on ESPN all the time, so I mean, I
24:32
do like watching North Carolina in Saturday. That's gonna be held. I don't
24:37
think Duke's that good this year, but so then I'm big tier. Oh
24:42
boy, let's go Oklahoma, South Carolina, Carolina. They just beat Kentucky
24:52
and Tennessee on the road back to back games. I don't know how they're
24:53
not ranked. They did Tennessee to good Old on deep plom Tannasey could be
25:02
a good favorite too. Oh a long shot. Oh, let's go.
25:11
Just do it, Dak. You know you want to do it. I
25:17
know you want to give it to the Hoscars. No, no, I
25:19
really don't. If they can't win on the road, how you gonna win
25:23
in neutral? Oh? The road? Hey, we killed k State.
25:30
Yeah, Oh, let's go. I'm looking at freaking okay, let's go
25:40
Texas Tech guns up. Yep, there's some there's some teams right there to
25:48
throw out. We'll see if we're right March I love it. Well,
25:52
no, now, we'll follow these teams out on a lot. I think
25:56
that's probably true. All right, let's move on Super Bowls coming up week
26:03
and a half. How much mine did you lose this weekend on NFL games?
26:10
Dak zero zero? Hunter? I didn't bet this weekend. Oh.
26:18
I didn't like that. I didn't like either the Lions they weren't. Yeah,
26:25
I don't know, I I think actually, I take that back.
26:30
I did bet a money line parlay with Chiefs and the Lions. Like,
26:33
I didn't throw much on it. That's rough. Lions are twenty four to
26:37
seven. I was feeling pretty good about myself. But yeah, we know
26:42
how that ended up. So two good games. Uh. As you know,
26:48
living in Nebraska, a lot of Chiefs fans. What do we think
26:52
about our fellow Chiefs from Kansas City just down the road, Like what one?
26:57
I guess I think I might know, But are you guys Chiefs fans?
27:03
Let's put it that way do you root for them? Some people that
27:07
I know are just anti because they're annoyed by all the Chiefs fan around.
27:11
It's like, where are your guys heads at on the Kansas City Chiefs.
27:14
I definitely, well, I can say I got gritted on going out of
27:21
the stadium. I don't like them. And you're a big Vikings fan,
27:29
but the Chiefs, honestly, like, are you rooting against them actively and
27:36
in games like this week last weekend? Yes, silently, as my wife
27:42
is a Chiefs fan, but I knew that. I here's my thoughts on
27:49
the Chiefs that they're and I'm like this with the Royals too. They're not
27:52
my my top dog, but because they're close and I don't I'm not a
27:59
die hard, but I do probably root for them when they're playing. I'm
28:03
not rooting against them to say the least. And watching this weekend like I
28:08
had no reason to root for the Ravens by any means, And so yeah,
28:14
I was rooting for the Chiefs. And here's why. And I know
28:22
Patrick Mahomes is, Yeah, he's gonna be one of the top two,
28:29
if not the greatest of all time. I heard them comparing Mahomes' stats to
28:33
Brady's stats after the same amount of years in the NFL, And I mean,
28:38
guys are like spot on and Mahomes is actually a little bit better.
28:41
The only thing that Mahomes needs is is third ring, which would come this
28:45
year if he got it, and then they'd be exactly the same on a
28:49
lot of levels. So yes, he's gonna be one of the greatest of
28:55
all time. But at the same time, like the dude is a human,
29:00
like he gets it, like he gets the leadership part, and he
29:02
gets what it takes to win, and yeah, he's a little goofy and
29:07
you can laugh at his voice. Guys, their receivers were dog shit this
29:12
year, like horrible. Did he ever one time publicly come out and talk
29:19
and say anything about his receivers. Nope. A couple of times got after
29:26
some refs, okay, and they were very frustrated towards some early part of
29:33
the second half of the year. I just respect what the guy does.
29:37
It's the same way that I respect Brady in Belichick. It's the same way
29:41
why same reason why I respected Alabama unsaved save in all those years guy's greatness.
29:48
People don't realize what it takes to be great, and Mahomes is so
29:52
early on in his career and we're kind of seeing it unfold in front of
29:59
our eyes, and some people are starting to go anti. But Lebron obviously
30:03
another one like why are we Lebron? Why Lebron is the greatest Ron?
30:08
Like, again, you either love him or you hate him. But again,
30:11
I I just I respect people that are great. Is that so I
30:17
can't root against it? Like? I just can't. I couldn't I acknowledge
30:19
mahomes greatness. I just I've never liked the Chiefs. I mean, that's
30:22
that was pre Mahomes, That's that's predated him. Yeah, you can't cheange
30:29
that. That one. That one's ingrained from middle school and Jane and Gary
30:32
come to school. Oh the Chiefs right now, and then they freaking blow
30:34
it and it's the greatest moment of my life. Lebron James becomes an NFL
30:40
football player and starts playing receiver for the Chiefs. I would probably cheer for
30:44
the Chiefs. There you go there. I hated his guts. Oh,
30:52
I like him now, but when he went to the heat, I hate
30:56
his guts, but would give heart. Now you like Lebron. Well there's
31:03
he he killed my ass every April. So but I don't. I don't
31:11
really mind the homes that much, I guess. But Hunter, what you
31:15
were really saying is you're swifty. Hunh. Yeah, it's exactly exactly word
31:21
for word. Took it out of my mouth. All right, who do
31:25
you got? Then? I'm taking the Chiefs, I am. I can't
31:30
believe. I can't believe they open them up as underdogs like I can't either.
31:36
The forty nine ers have liked not great for like a week. They
31:40
and they they've done what they need to do to win games. The Chiefs
31:44
guys that the Kansas City Chiefs were under or overlooked the whole second half of
31:49
the year. Nobody talked about them, and that when that happens to teams
31:53
in any sport, all that does is make you so hungry and want to
32:00
win even more. You don't have a target on your back. There's no
32:02
one when the teams come to play and they go, eh, Chiefs are
32:07
down this year and they're not. They weren't. Their defense is really freaking
32:12
good. Their offense is down. I mean they scored seventeen points. Guys,
32:17
what Mahome is literally being a game manager now, like that's what he's
32:22
doing and that's totally fine, Like, oh yeah, it's just impressive what
32:25
they've done. And give Andy Andy Reid a ton of credit because that guy
32:35
he knows the game. When Andy Reid retires, who takes over? Do
32:39
you think you can poach like a big name coach from another NFL team?
32:43
They're trying, they they're trying. They're trying to get Belichick or that's the
32:47
room. We'll see. I know Andy retires if they win, So I'll
32:55
go Chiefs, give me the Chiefs twenty evan twenty one. That was actually
33:05
the same line I was going to give. I'll go twenty twenty one.
33:08
I was not gonna say saying, oh, let's go, Well, guys,
33:15
if it's a consensus that we all have twenty seven to twenty one,
33:17
we better be putting heavy money on that that exact score. I'll go low
33:23
ball chief seventeen fourteen. Whoa, We're we're loaded up on twenty seven to
33:30
twenty one. That's all I can say. I like that score. If
33:34
we all three dislike that right now on the on the moment, like mayn
33:43
so we're all on the Chiefs, All the Chiefs. Yeah, yeah,
33:47
better quarterback back. Pretty well, we all to get it done. Halftime
33:52
show. How we feel? Oh? Is it sure? I don't think
34:04
I haven't been named Usher songs? Yeah, DJ got us falling in love.
34:10
I couldn't tell you come on da, I cannot tell you one and
34:15
I'm not loving the club. There you go. It's smack. That is
34:23
that Usher? I don't know. I don't think so. He's got some
34:35
newer ones I haven't heard of. Yeah, I don't don't listen to Usher
34:42
that much. Number one Usher song on this Think of You nineteen ninety four.
34:51
Wow. So yeah, we get we get some Usher, get some
34:57
musher for halftime. We get a little bit of time, Dak talk about
35:01
yourselftics. Let's go wait one. How much time we got here? I
35:06
want to ask you as one more thing. We got three minutes a minute?
35:08
What do you did? You guys think Dan Campbell should to kick those
35:12
field goals are gone for it. I think he was fine doing what he
35:15
did. He did what he did. They got them that far and they
35:16
really weren't terrible spots. The run on third and one with one minute left
35:22
was a bad play. That was the only thing I had an issue with.
35:25
I I don't, I don't. I don't mind it at all.
35:29
I think the fumble, the fumble and then the dooint off that face,
35:35
the helmet, face mast like, Yeah, those were things that happened that
35:40
just changed the entire the entire swing of the game. We feel you.
35:45
We feel you here in Nebraska from the Return to Glory podcast. We feel
35:51
you. We know exactly what happens when you're up twenty four to seven.
35:59
I don't feel too bad nearing my division. No, I'm okay with Dan
36:07
Campbell. I'm okay with it. That's what he believes in and good for
36:12
I mean, stick to it. Like I thought he should have kicked the
36:15
second one though, to tie it up. I didn't mind the first call,
36:19
but I didn't mind him either way really that much. But I thought
36:22
maybe the second one you might kick the tie up. Yeah, do you
36:31
have update, dak uh Well, the best team in the league. Still,
36:37
there's really no stopping them. They kicked the ship out of the Pelicans
36:44
and the Pacers, and now the only way to stop them is Chris stops
36:49
rolling his ankle every other game. See, that's the bad part. I
36:52
would find them sitting in the rest of the year. Honestly, that's all
36:57
we need is for him to get the playoffs healthy. LBA comes down tomorrow.
37:01
Everything's working out for you guys, though, and be just blew his
37:06
knee out, not blew it out. But he's getting an MRI and the
37:08
Bucks hired Doc Rivers choke champion in the playoffs, thank god, Thank god,
37:15
Austin. Who's LBJ bringing the town? Who's he getting? Who's what?
37:22
Oh? Who's he getting? Oh? That's a good deadline. I
37:25
think that they should just stamp pat I really I think they should get rid
37:29
of him, bringing a better coach. I think they have it there,
37:32
they really do. They made it to Western Conference Final with the same team.
37:39
I'm secretly becoming a thunder fan, not not secretly, they're secretly,
37:47
not secretly, but bet on them coming into the year. The wind toll
37:52
is gonna hit like halfway through the year. It's gonna be great. Yeah,
37:57
God, I love the score every time they win. And then when
37:59
they is the Pistons, I don't hear a thing. No, I didn't
38:01
want to talk about that. But they didn't beat the Nuggets tonight. So
38:06
ship shout out, Shout out. Thunder sitting second Western Conference right now,
38:12
one game behind with the Wolves go Midwest and the Nuggets killing it. I
38:17
will be attending a Thunder playoff game. Hopefully they play the Lake woh.
38:24
I've been to two Thunder games in my life and I've only been to two
38:28
NBA games, so no, I've been to three. I went to the
38:30
figures. All right, Well, we'll be back here in a couple of
38:37
weeks, twenty seven to twenty one. Chiefs, put your money on it.
38:42
Go begrudge if you are but were sooner
