Is May the Answer for Michigan Basketball? · Sports Exchange

• 0:22
  Good evening to everybody, and welcome to another attention of the sports of Chaine.
• 0:25
  My name is Scott Morgan on the Motor City mad Mouth has had a
• 0:28
  great show previous to this one. A long time South Florida sports media colleague
• 0:34
  of mine, Jeff before Jeff before us is as good as it gets.
• 0:37
  And I've known this guy a long long time and a lot of folks that
• 0:40
  had watch that show will certainly use it as an educational tool for sure.
• 0:45
  So but that said, I want to go out there and introduce my crew
• 0:48
  first and foremost. I'm at the top. Of course, he's always been
• 0:51
  at the top in a lot of ways with me. His name is Spencer.
• 0:53
  Tom said, Spencer is back. I gotta tell you hearing that music
• 0:59
  actually right one accused for the South Florida tribute intros that it gave me chills.
• 1:03
  It's like when you hear the Monday night football theme when you're about to
• 1:07
  get into a broadcast. But always appreciate you, Scott, glad to be
• 1:10
  here, considered a privilege. Every second I'm on the show. Very good
• 1:14
  and I'll tell you what you know what before we get well, we'll get
• 1:17
  introduce everybody then you're gonna give everybody a listen of bulldoze marketing. Okay,
• 1:19
  jam Ellis is back. Hey, what's going on everybody? All right?
• 1:26
  Another week? Another week? Here we go. Yeah, we got it.
• 1:30
  We got a loaded broadcast tonight. The best part about it, I
• 1:33
  don't have another one afterwards, so we'll go whatever time we need to go.
• 1:36
  All right. And George Icorn Okay, I know he's getting ancy to
• 1:40
  get on earlier, but he knows when you have a good interview out there,
• 1:42
  that should go out there and your roll with it. And that's exactly
• 1:45
  what we've done. So that's going on everyone. I hope it's a great
• 1:49
  show, which I'm sure it will be. All right. Well, okay,
• 1:53
  Spencer, why don't you give the audience a little bit of a lesson
• 1:56
  on bulldoze marketing and shoot out those stories. Well we told this a couple
• 2:00
  of times on the shows that Scott has been very gracious for me to come
• 2:05
  on. But let's tell you the Scott Morgan Roth method, or bulldozer marketing
• 2:08
  as it's as it's called. First time I met Scott was twenty twenty one
• 2:13
  in December for the National Sports Media Association Awards weekend, and Scott Morgan Roth
• 2:20
  was the first person that I met through that, and he wasn't afraid to
• 2:23
  meet anyone even if people are deep in conversation. And sometimes there are people
• 2:30
  who don't necessarily open up the circle to you NSMA, they open it up
• 2:34
  to you. But even when people are deep in conversation, Scott purposefully positions
• 2:38
  himself in that circle, sometimes waits for them to stop talking, or finds
• 2:44
  a lull in the conversation, or even joins into the conversation. And Scott
• 2:47
  will introduce himself to anybody, doesn't matter who they are, will say,
• 2:52
  here's my name, here's what I do. Would you subscribe to my YouTube
• 2:54
  channel? And that exchanges LinkedIn and email and own numbers at anything else on
• 3:00
  there, And through that, I was just telling the story. Before we
• 3:05
  went on the air, Scott was not due to health issues. He couldn't
• 3:08
  go to Winston Salem this past summer for the NSMA banquet, and I had
• 3:13
  several students with me from the University of Alabama chapter of the NSMA, and
• 3:17
  I knew what Scott not being there. I have to be the bulldozer.
• 3:23
  I have to be the one that goes through and we were at the Legacy
• 3:25
  Night and Lisa Salters had won Sideline Reporter of the Year for the NSMA,
• 3:30
  and we didn't know this until afterwards, but she was going to leave immediately
• 3:35
  after the ceremony because she had a flight to catch to get back to where
• 3:38
  she lives. And so we did what Scott has been successful at, which
• 3:44
  is strategic positioning. We got there maybe about fifty I think like twenty thirty
• 3:50
  minutes before people were supposed to start checking in at the dinner, and we
• 3:55
  positioned ourselves near the entrance where people would check in through that. Lisa Salters,
• 4:01
  Iron Eagle, other colleagues were walking in through there. But Lisa comes
• 4:05
  up, shake her hand, Introduce myself, introduce to the rest of the
• 4:09
  people around us. We talked a little bit about Monday Night football and asked,
• 4:12
  hey, can we get a photo with you? And she graciously agreed
• 4:15
  we did, and then we're sitting down at the front. We noticed she
• 4:20
  gets her award. The other awardies for Legacy Night got their awards, and
• 4:26
  right about when they were going to dismiss, Lisa's walking out with her son.
• 4:29
  She's got that flight to catch back So if if Scott Morganotha not taught
• 4:32
  me bulldozer marketing and had not taught me to introduce myself to other people without
• 4:38
  having any sort of fear for what's going to happen, then I wouldn't have
• 4:42
  got to have a photo with Lisa Salters, wouldn't have been able to meet
• 4:44
  her. So Scott looking forward to running it back this year, this time
• 4:46
  in Greensboro at the Grand Over Resort. Should be fun. Yeah, I'm
• 4:51
  looking forward to returning to the event. It's an event that I really enjoyed
• 4:54
  networking. Javell has plans to be there, and I think Jabella is gonna
• 4:59
  find out that I know, we've done a lot of stuff with the Super
• 5:01
  Bowl and other big events, and JB Ellis is an opportunity to meet his
• 5:05
  colleagues, and I think this will be an experience that jv Ellis will never
• 5:09
  forget. Will be wrong, JB, You're working at the super Bowl with
• 5:12
  nothing short of outstanding. It was. I've paid attention to what you were
• 5:15
  doing, but this is a different animal compared to what you're doing. And
• 5:18
  of course we're working our tails off to track at the NFL Draft. So
• 5:23
  jab you we're in a position to help maybe get sidelined sports, you know,
• 5:28
  another opportunity to meet more and more people to go with your growing lineup
• 5:31
  of excellent shows, and this opportunity in the next few months or so will
• 5:35
  be that type of opportunity. But that said, let me go over the
• 5:39
  top. Let me Spencer on here. Let's talk about George Iichorn. Glad
• 5:43
  to have you on. George. Oh, thank you. Good to be
• 5:46
  here man. It's a great show and a great lineup tonight. I know
• 5:48
  it always is, so it's good to be on. And last but not
• 5:53
  leaves mister Ellis himself. Yes, it's going to be a good night.
• 5:58
  I mean, I'm excited and well, got a lot to talk about.
• 6:00
  I see the name of the show. I think we're going to talk about
• 6:04
  your prediction, how it came true. You think we're gonna talk about our
• 6:09
  tradition. Mister Ellis, would you want what would you like to rephrase the
• 6:14
  word think other words? I'm going to hit you with a Jacob Christmer.
• 6:15
  Are you crazy? I'm not waiting to do that. I think that's what
• 6:19
  we're gonna do. That's my guess. No, I know that's what we're
• 6:24
  gonna do. And yeah, and because you said the word think you're going
• 6:27
  to lead off of this all right, I'm not into the I told you
• 6:30
  so, but tonight I am in the I told you So's Okay, Dusty
• 6:33
  May is a Michigan man I called it last Wednesday's show, and lo and
• 6:39
  behold word Manual, don't have to get fired because you got it right.
• 6:43
  I think the President Santa Oh, no, I believe that's the name of
• 6:46
  this guy, George. Okay, they both went ahead and identified Dusty me
• 6:50
  right away, and why not. All he did was lead FAU to a
• 6:55
  final four and what I call an Alan Michael's moment. Do you believe in
• 7:00
  miracles? Well, you nearly did. And while thus he signed a ten
• 7:03
  year contract, I knew he was gonna live out that deal. Got a
• 7:06
  million dollars to hang around and oh, he's gonna get three point seventy five
• 7:11
  million over five years to leave the Wolverine and that will turn into an extension
• 7:15
  at some point anyways down the road. I definitely do believe. Yes,
• 7:18
  I did predict it on this show last week that if Warden Manual did hire
• 7:24
  him, he should be fired. But Warden manual. I'll spare you the
• 7:27
  criticism. You got this hire right, that's what you did. So I'm
• 7:32
  just glad as act that I was able to make it last week, but
• 7:35
  the one. But it is a lesson though, I should let everybody know
• 7:39
  you have to follow your instincts when you go out there and make preditions.
• 7:44
  You don't make him with the sake that you're going to get clicks or constitute
• 7:46
  make news. You don't do that. You have to be closer to the
• 7:49
  situation and if you feel something fits, you do. And that's the reason
• 7:55
  I got that one right last week is because I knew number one and missig
• 7:58
  a job was too good to pass up. They're talking about arguably the biggest
• 8:03
  school in the country, which has a tradition that lasts over one hundred years,
• 8:07
  or football situation's unreal all time winning his program in Division one. Now
• 8:13
  new recent National champions basketball program is pretty good, but we all know football
• 8:18
  has came there, and Dustin May is leaving from a three thousand seat gym
• 8:22
  to what a thirteen thousand seat to me place that he calls the house that
• 8:28
  Kazi built. So all right, with that said, I'm done with what
• 8:31
  I had to say, Jesse Stuber, welcome, and you know what,
• 8:35
  Joe, He's going to be your Cubs guy in a moment. So so
• 8:41
  here you go. Jesse's in the chat room and I'm sure the rest of
• 8:43
  the bursting guys will fall into place. Thank you very much. All right,
• 8:48
  jb Ellis, give me here. Talks about the Dusty may hire.
• 8:52
  I said it last week. It was a good move forward. He's a
• 8:54
  great coach. The program needs a new direction. They got somebody that we'll
• 9:00
  be able to lead them. You know, good for him making the money,
• 9:03
  getting a better job, but a bigger university, that's what it's about.
• 9:07
  You know, you're coaching a smaller school. It stakes for the smaller
• 9:11
  schools that you know they get used as you go up the ladder by the
• 9:15
  athlete to the coaches. But you know, it says a lot about them
• 9:18
  that they can develop these guys and that's how they'll get the next person,
• 9:22
  the next stuff team at is by keeping producing. So you know, it's
• 9:26
  good for everybody in the in the sports world. And congratulations to a great
• 9:31
  move by Michigan. It's only going to get better for him as long as
• 9:33
  he keeps doing what he does. If you want to learn about Dusty May,
• 9:37
  all you need to do is go to the self orders from your YouTube
• 9:39
  channel. I had the opportunity to ask him many questions over the course of
• 9:43
  several press conferences. You won't find a better guy. He's forty seven years
• 9:46
  of age. If the would rings are looking for longevity, they're going to
• 9:48
  find it with Dusty May. Again, he's young. Players usually spend two
• 9:54
  three four years there. Anyhow, I don't see the reason to think that
• 9:56
  once at the NIL thing worked out, does he may won't be able to
• 10:01
  retain his players. He uses will use the transfer portal a lot more.
• 10:05
  He'll be able to use the ANIL money. So again, forty seven right,
• 10:09
  future, and now he's got a job that most people would cover it
• 10:15
  for sure. All right, George, right, turn, you're close to
• 10:16
  the situation. What is the area saying in terms of the Dusty May hire,
• 10:24
  Yeah, most people are pretty pleased with it right now, Scott,
• 10:26
  I mean the positive press I think came out of the press conference. I
• 10:31
  wasn't there at the press conference, but things were really happening very fast.
• 10:37
  Obviously. You know he's got a connection here way back in the day two
• 10:41
  thousand and five, two thousand and six, he was at Eastern Michigan University.
• 10:46
  And if some of your listeners and viewers don't know, Eastern Michigan is
• 10:52
  in Ipsilany, just a few miles away from ann Arbor. In fact,
• 10:54
  I think Dusty said that they lived in ann Arbor when he was coaching at
• 11:00
  Eastern Michigan. But that's all in the past. We know. Since then
• 11:05
  he went to Murray State and Louisiana Tech and you know UAB. He's just
• 11:11
  had a great, great series of stops, I think, and what he's
• 11:15
  done at FAU Scott. I mean, you've been tooting his horn for a
• 11:18
  long time as you're close to that program down there and that magical run you
• 11:24
  know that FAU had, you know, to the twenty twenty three final four,
• 11:28
  which nobody expected. I think that he's a great choice. I applaud,
• 11:33
  I really do. I applaud you know, President Ono and Mordemanul the
• 11:39
  athletic director, for getting it done so quickly. I mean, when you
• 11:43
  think about it, you know, they wrap things up so quickly after FAU
• 11:46
  was eliminated and didn't even really have too much time to breathe but things came
• 11:52
  together quickly. I'm sure there was some negotiating going on with the salary and
• 11:58
  stuff like that, but he's going to be a very positive influence I think
• 12:03
  on the campus and in that locker room, and it's just been unfortunately with
• 12:09
  Juwan Howard, it just was going nowhere the last couple of years. So
• 12:13
  I think it's a good move. And again, as I told you privately,
• 12:16
  Scott, congratulations because you picked this one right off the bat. Thank
• 12:20
  you. George jesse Stuber, how about Dusty Register And he's an old buddy
• 12:24
  of mine from a long time, and do good to know. I think
• 12:26
  I have some familiarity there. Jesse Stuber and jave Ella's are about to become
• 12:31
  buddies in due time because of the cub's connection with that said turnover to Spenser.
• 12:37
  How fitting is it that the Motor City mad Mouth made a correct prediction
• 12:41
  for the Dusty May to head closer and closer to the Motor City. I
• 12:50
  mean, it's just a storyline written waiting to happen. So fortunately in my
• 12:56
  position, I got my bachelor's and masters in Middle Tennessee State universe these so
• 13:00
  seeing the kind of I know Florida Atlantic was out the door with Conference USA
• 13:05
  before they had their magical run in last year's Final Four. But to still
• 13:09
  see Conference USA has got some decent basketball, and to show my true blue
• 13:13
  color is the only team to beat Florida Atlantic during that year, one of
• 13:16
  the few teams Middle Tennessee State in the regular season. So I'll just sport
• 13:20
  a brag about that. One of our colleagues, Tracy Woolson, actually expressed
• 13:26
  that she spent a lot of time watching and working with Dusty May during his
• 13:30
  run to the Final Four and during their loss in Brooklyn, and she she's
• 13:35
  excited to welcome him to the University of Michigan as well. And you mentioned
• 13:39
  at George of how he coached at Michigan and has his son in Double A
• 13:45
  as well, So it definitely was the right move. And I like what
• 13:48
  you said, George about how things move so quickly in those kind of situations.
• 13:54
  I mean, I know, you guys have talked extensively about coach Saban
• 13:58
  We're retiring, and then Kaylin Devoor getting hired by the University of Alabama.
• 14:01
  Only in college sports can it really happen that quickly, Because even in the
• 14:07
  NFL. When was the last time we saw a coach getting hired within the
• 14:11
  span of maybe forty eight hours or even that. It's such a long process
• 14:16
  to get to that point at the professional level, but in college you have
• 14:18
  a lot more of that flexibility to be able to move so quickly. And
• 14:22
  you're absolutely right, Scott in how why would he not apply for that job?
• 14:28
  Why would he not potentially take advantage of it if he had the opportunity
• 14:33
  to, Because sure, the goal is always to bring a national championship to
• 14:37
  the program you're working with, and sure you want to try and do the
• 14:41
  best for your team, But it's very parallel in the case of Kaylin de
• 14:46
  boor in a sense where, yes, where they going to bring a national
• 14:50
  championship back to their respective programs? Probably if they got the right guys and
• 14:56
  things were on the right kind of circumstance. But where's the better place that
• 15:00
  they have the opportunity to do that over other programs with the amount of money
• 15:03
  and resources and recruitment recruitment methods, especially with NIL being the wild Wild West
• 15:09
  nowadays and Calin de Boor is the University of Alabama for Dusty May is clearly
• 15:16
  the University of Michigan. So it's it's pretty special to you know, see
• 15:22
  this kind of come to fruition. But you know, it's always it's always
• 15:26
  good when even if you don't necessarily have insider info, it's good when you
• 15:30
  get to make these predictions and you actually turn out right. So I don't
• 15:33
  have a cap on like Scott does, but I tip my cap to the
• 15:37
  Motor City mad Mouth and getting it right. Thank you so much, Spencer.
• 15:41
  That means a lot hearing it from everybody, but especially you. Now,
• 15:43
  I will say this about Dusty May though last year, not the one
• 15:48
  that we just finished, the year former conference, he will say. But
• 15:50
  the thing is is he went ahead and oversaw the switch to the American Athletic
• 15:54
  Conference, and by doing that his team was able to finish second in the
• 16:00
  AAC and got the bid because number one incredible strength to schedule that involved beating
• 16:04
  the University of Arizona. So when you talk about what he did there and
• 16:10
  with a lot of his players coming back, I made a prediction last week.
• 16:14
  I thought that they beat Connecticut. Well, I don't mind eating humble
• 16:18
  Pie was wrong about that, But it's not the worst predition I've ever made.
• 16:21
  But the better one was later when he ended up getting hired at Michigan,
• 16:23
  calling me wrong, I'm gonna miss seeing him at FAU. But I
• 16:27
  also understand that I know he made the right move going to a place like
• 16:32
  Michigan, But this is an easy hire. Michigan identified that they wanted him
• 16:37
  right away, and they moved swiftly to get it done. And you know
• 16:41
  when you again, Ward Manuel, from when I hear John Beeline was a
• 16:45
  part of this process. Yes, so he was a part of it.
• 16:48
  And then to me, they just came down to his place in Fort Lauderville
• 16:52
  and met up with him. And when a guy like him feels wanted,
• 16:56
  let alone at an institution of that size, it was it came together fairly
• 17:02
  quickly. And I know that the Wolverines will be fine, you know,
• 17:06
  Juwan Howard, I think so. I think so. And Scott, I'm
• 17:08
  glad you brought that up about Beeline, because yes, he had. He
• 17:11
  played a big role in the in recruiting and and convincing Dusty to come and
• 17:18
  hats off the Bee line. Of course he's he's kind of like a free
• 17:22
  agent right now. He's not with the Pistons, anymore. He's not with
• 17:25
  the Cavaliers anymore. But boy, John is a great basketball mind, and
• 17:29
  and your rights got a Ward leaned on him to talk to him. Yeah.
• 17:33
  Well, the reality is that Juwan Howard oversaw the worst team in Michigan
• 17:37
  history, losing in many games they did. There was no way that he's
• 17:41
  going to retain that job. I mean, that's all they were. So
• 17:44
  you hate to see a guy like Phil Martelly leave. He had a lot
• 17:47
  of experience, But you know, Juwan Howard had a certain shelf life.
• 17:51
  He's no longer there. Dusty Mays gonna have a long shelf life with the
• 17:53
  Michigan Ward Wolverine. Well, I mean, I know the way they are.
• 17:57
  The guy operates great with the media, but more importantly, he'll do
• 18:03
  research on that university. He'll dissect everything he needs. And once upon a
• 18:07
  time he took that FAU jump, thinking oh God, did I make the
• 18:08
  biggest mistake in my life. He stuck it out and turned it into a
• 18:12
  winner. Never had a losing season at FAU, so Michigan knew what they
• 18:17
  were getting. If you can take a plate program like FAU to the final
• 18:21
  four, please tell me votes if that doesn't catch your attention, and I
• 18:26
  don't know what well, I mean, the ultimate David Goliath. Then they
• 18:32
  should have been against Connecticut last year. But san Diego's take out the best
• 18:34
  of them. All right. Well, with any closing thoughts from any of
• 18:37
  you about Dusty may headed a michion. I'll leave it wide open for this.
• 18:41
  I guess the only thing I will say is that if you haven't already
• 18:45
  listened to the interviews that Scott has done here on the south floor, distribute
• 18:49
  with Dusty may take take a listen to him. It's uh. Scott certainly
• 18:55
  knows how to ask the right questions that come out. He knows how to
• 18:57
  interview pretty well. But when you listen to the conversations that Dusty has,
• 19:02
  you really get an insight into the type of coach he is, the type
• 19:04
  of father he is, the man he is. And maybe you could have
• 19:08
  dissected some stuff there and thought, well, why is he at FAU.
• 19:11
  He could have he could be at some other big university, So you might
• 19:15
  pick that up in some of the some of the conversations that that Scott was
• 19:18
  able to have. Thank you, Spencer, I appreciate that. All right,
• 19:22
  Well, let's go on to the National Football League, Okay, And
• 19:25
  I'll tell you, I guess it's only fitting that Spencer's on this show anyway,
• 19:29
  because he's a guy that would you know, I kind of build the
• 19:32
  shows around the people I put on here. So let's go about the NFL.
• 19:33
  And that's a're definitely gladdings on this one as well as any other one
• 19:37
  he wants to come on. But the NFL announces two exclusive streaming games for
• 19:41
  the twenty twenty four season, including one postseason game. Pecock NBC. The
• 19:47
  Universal will exclusively stream the Week one game in Scio Apollo, Brazil on February
• 19:52
  Friday, September sixth. This contest as the NFL's first ever regular season game
• 20:00
  in South America and will also mark the first Friday night game on opening weekend
• 20:06
  in over fifty years. The Philadelphia Eagles is the designated team. Now Prime
• 20:11
  Video, already home to Thursday Night Football, will stream a wildcard game this
• 20:18
  season. It will be the second time a playoff game have been available exclusively
• 20:23
  by a streaming service. We all know that after last season's wildcard game between
• 20:29
  the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs on Peacock where a lot of those
• 20:34
  local markets were able to watch it for free, where everybody else had to
• 20:37
  go with it. So, Spencer, you know what, I'm going to
• 20:40
  lead off with you on this one. Obviously we know how much you're involved
• 20:44
  with INNSMA, but obviously you're teaching broadcasting and media over at the University of
• 20:48
  Alabama. What's your take on this? So I think a lot less people
• 20:55
  are going to be frustrated with Prime being the exclusive home of a playoff game
• 20:59
  is compared to Peacock because it pretty much you walk around with most people on
• 21:03
  the street and a whole lot of people are There are more people, I
• 21:07
  would argue, that have subscriptions to Amazon Prime and have Prime Video included with
• 21:11
  that than those who have subscriptions to Peacock separately. It's you know, I
• 21:18
  think the NFL is doing the right thing and testing the waters as much as
• 21:23
  there were. I actually, a couple of weeks ago in my class,
• 21:26
  I did all right. I asked the class, all right, show of
• 21:30
  hands, how many of you were frustrated that Peacock was the exclusive streaming home
• 21:36
  of an NFL wild card game. About half the class had their hands raised,
• 21:40
  and I said, all right. How many of you canceled your subscription
• 21:44
  after the playoff game was over? A couple of them, A couple of
• 21:47
  them had their hand had their hands up, some of them. But the
• 21:51
  NFL and NBC made the right decision on that, because Peacock retained about thirty
• 21:57
  three percent of its subscribers after that playoff game solely from those who subscribed,
• 22:03
  which you could say, well, that's still like sixty seven percent of people
• 22:07
  who didn't sign up. Guess what thirty three percent of say that even the
• 22:11
  base subscription of five bucks, that's a lot of money. That's a decent
• 22:15
  amount of money to keep people in your streaming service in that regard, and
• 22:18
  I think I appreciate and feel it was needed for Roger Goodell to say it
• 22:23
  is Super Bowl press conference that in my lifetime we will not see a Super
• 22:29
  Bowl exclusively on a streaming platform, because that gives people a much needed glad
• 22:34
  we're not having to deal with that at this point. But I think I
• 22:37
  think people are still gonna watch it. Like as much as people will complain
• 22:41
  about streaming services and how it's cable with extra steps and it's too much money
• 22:45
  on these things for those who don't know. The United States actually has a
• 22:51
  rule that was enacted back in the seventies or a media law that if any
• 22:56
  NFL team that is playing, you have to syndicate it on an over the
• 23:03
  air local affiliate for the teams that are playing. So I know the opponent
• 23:07
  hasn't been announced for the Philadelphia Eagles hosting that game in South Paulo, but
• 23:11
  in Philadelphia or in the markets that get the Philadelphia Eagles, it will be
• 23:15
  on a local television affiliate, whether it's NBC, CBS, Fox, or
• 23:19
  ABC, so you'll find some way to watch it. And the other thing
• 23:22
  people don't realize is that you don't have to subscribe. You can go to
• 23:27
  your local sports bar because even if it's on a streaming service like Prime Video
• 23:33
  for example, with the playoff game, DirectTV has the rights to distribute the
• 23:38
  game commercially, so you could go to Buffalo Wild Wings And as far as
• 23:42
  I'm aware, they're not going to charge you a cover going to these bars
• 23:45
  because it's included with their cable business subscriptions, or as far as i've earn,
• 23:49
  it's only with like UFC and WWE pay per view inns. That's the
• 23:52
  only thing you have to worry about. So it's so anyone who has this
• 23:56
  notion of well, I'm not gonna be able to watch the game, it's
• 23:59
  like, no, you could just go out in public or go to some
• 24:02
  commercial business that'll have it available to them. But I think it's I think
• 24:06
  it's good. I think it's a good thing with going on the streaming side
• 24:08
  of things, not just for the changing media landscape with how I think it
• 24:14
  was twenty twenty two Nielsen released that finally there are more people watching on streaming
• 24:21
  services than there are cable or traditional cable markets. So we're we're at that
• 24:26
  point as the society now where the traditional cable package is dead and we're in
• 24:30
  the streaming kind of era in this sort of regard. So I think I
• 24:33
  think it's a good thing, and especially with the playoff game for Peacock getting
• 24:37
  about I think it was thirty three million viewers, which is still pretty good
• 24:41
  for wild Guard playoff games. So I think it's a good thing. It'll
• 24:45
  be interesting to see how how it all shakes out this fall. Okay,
• 24:48
  all right, Jesse Scuber, all right, JB paying attention to this and
• 24:52
  you can answer the question. I'm gonna shake Caugo Cubs guy. My advice
• 24:55
  to you, mister ellis take the guy his first name, his last name,
• 24:57
  write it down, playing them on Facebook, and you have yourself somebody
• 25:02
  for confidential, so you have a right front of shoe. Go ahead.
• 25:04
  He's somebody that can definitely help you out. Jesse Stuber, you see a
• 25:07
  lot of JZ on a lot of our shows. With that said, JV,
• 25:11
  go ahead, let's take get your take on the NFL's most recent move
• 25:15
  to go with these two streaming games. Listen, it's the way that the
• 25:21
  games are going. This is the new toy. You know. The streaming
• 25:25
  services are trying to bring in money, and to bring in money, you
• 25:29
  need the best, the best thing to put on there, which is the
• 25:33
  NFL. Everybody wants to watch NFL football. It's the highest ratings, highest
• 25:37
  rate sports in America. So in order to get the subscribers, you have
• 25:41
  to have the best programming, and the best programming is the NFL, the
• 25:45
  best live programming. So for the streaming services, it makes sense they're gonna
• 25:49
  pay the NFL a boatload. They're gonna get a boatload of subscribers. And
• 25:53
  for the casual fan, the odds are most people have this service already.
• 25:59
  Spencer made it perfectly clear what the rule and the law is. As far
• 26:02
  as if you're in the local market, you don't miss out of the game,
• 26:06
  which is really all that matters. If you live in New York and
• 26:08
  you want to watch the Philly game, yeah you can get the streaming service.
• 26:11
  There's nothing wrong with that. But if you live in Philly, I
• 26:15
  can understand maybe you can't afford the the eight dollars. I respect that.
• 26:18
  I don't talk about other people's money, but you know, they at least
• 26:22
  have that right to watch the game, and I'll get to watch it over
• 26:26
  the air, So there's nothing wrong with that. But if you're out of
• 26:29
  market, it's like any other sport. You can't watch games when you're out
• 26:30
  of market. I can't just go turn on, you know, the Yankee
• 26:34
  game. Living in Chicago, I have to buy a subscription of something or
• 26:38
  get some sort of service. It's the same thing, and there's nothing wrong
• 26:41
  with it. The NFL is just, you know, do what they're going
• 26:45
  to do to make money and survive it. This is how you know you
• 26:47
  can pay ridiculous salaries. The guy named Daniel Jones for forty million dollars.
• 26:52
  You know, so you got to have a reason to get that money.
• 26:55
  You know, it's not going to grow in trees, but we just converted
• 26:57
  it. Yeah. Great. The owners of the Giants, they could have
• 27:03
  went a couple of miles down the road Atlantic City red or black and they
• 27:07
  could have kept saquad or lost Dangel Jones. Either way it would have been
• 27:11
  you know, good or the same, because Dangiel Jones really is at a
• 27:15
  quarterback, Scott, you can go out there and play if you just as
• 27:21
  well. Thanks a lot, Joe, I've got a Daniel Jones reference in
• 27:25
  there. I'd like to think you though, my knees are butting up,
• 27:26
  like everything else is bust it up. You know, I can get out
• 27:30
  there and plays once upon a time. But I appreciate the conference mister Ellis
• 27:33
  has in me. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Yeah, with
• 27:37
  all my Jimpy knees and all that business, I'd like to think I could
• 27:41
  play. But you know that you ever heard that thing Joe called father time?
• 27:47
  That's all right. The rules are in your favorite out. If you're
• 27:48
  a quarterback, you can't be touched or you'll be fire. Oh, I'll
• 27:52
  tell you what. You're gonna be my agent the next time I go out
• 27:53
  there and sign up for what he did. All right, mister Ellis,
• 27:56
  not that you're you're already on speed dial. I can't unless the technology conquers
• 28:02
  up something else. Okay, you're on feed dow. But now Joe Ellis
• 28:04
  have been hired as my agent. Okay, so get it done. Hey,
• 28:10
  listen, tell you what who's that hefty lefty quarterback many years ago?
• 28:14
  Was that oh gosh, oh they got to test away? Right? Yeah?
• 28:18
  Right? Is that Jared Lorenz And I think it's a d I believe,
• 28:21
  so I believe he play quarterback. Maybe I should come out of retirement.
• 28:23
  Of course, I don't think you get to miss is the buy into
• 28:26
  that? Good luck? Thinking that was Devino was quarterback? For how long
• 28:30
  you'll be hind first DeVito? You'll be first stringing in no time. I
• 28:37
  am known as a giant fan. I annoyed you starting quarterback. We don't
• 28:40
  even need to talk to anybody. We'll just we just drive up to East
• 28:44
  Rutherford. We put you on the field. We're good. Okay, Well,
• 28:47
  don't where to make that happen. We'll make that happen. By the
• 28:49
  way, in the next four months, I am negotiating to try to get
• 28:52
  a van for us here, so we'll go from there. But I'll get
• 28:56
  up there. I'll do the Hey, listen, you and I got to
• 28:59
  do some stuff up to New York. Anyway, as the alliance between the
• 29:02
  Sidelines, Sports and southwork to me and continues to grow a lot more,
• 29:06
  well turn over to I Corn than Candy is going to give us the station
• 29:08
  break go ahead. Well, yeah, I mean, you guys have pretty
• 29:12
  much said everything needs to be said. I mean, obviously the changing times
• 29:18
  are change in very, very fast. Doesn't surprise me at all that they
• 29:22
  designated these two days, these two games. The only problem I have,
• 29:26
  I mean, the first time you go on to the South America, I
• 29:30
  would have preferred to have been on network television because that's the first time ever.
• 29:37
  But I understand it's a big business, and like you guys said,
• 29:41
  they're they're there to pave the way for the future, and especially the young
• 29:45
  people nowadays are all into streaming. So that doesn't surprise me. I really
• 29:49
  think that the NFL is going in that direction, but it's taking baby steps,
• 29:56
  you know. It didn't say we're doing half the game streaming. No,
• 29:59
  it's nothing like that yet, but they're taking baby steps and there's natural
• 30:03
  progression after they did the Miami KC game in the playoffs. So I think
• 30:08
  it's a good thing. Things will work out. And as long as they
• 30:11
  can protect the whole market, the home city of the franchise that's hosting the
• 30:17
  game, for example, the two markets that they can still put it over
• 30:21
  the air, that does make a big difference in my mind to help those
• 30:25
  people that some still do not have either Internet or they don't have streaming capabilities.
• 30:30
  So that's about all I got to add. But no, it's it's
• 30:33
  an interesting topic. Okay, we're gonna turn over a candy. George.
• 30:38
  I have to say that I agree with you though, for the first time
• 30:41
  you're going into a South American country, that it would be nice for that
• 30:45
  to be shown for everybody to see, you know, seeing the sites,
• 30:51
  because they always do, like show the sites, they show different fans see
• 30:56
  what teams they're sporting. You know. I agree for that one. I
• 31:00
  agree that and get I agree that streaming is the wave of the future.
• 31:04
  But the issue is is you're not streaming to just one platform. You're streaming
• 31:08
  on a bunch of different You're streaming on Amazon Prime and you know, Peacock,
• 31:14
  and they're different ones. So now, how many streaming services do you
• 31:17
  need to subscribe to because of that? Yeah? So, I but Spencer,
• 31:23
  I know you want to say something too. Yeah, one thing on
• 31:26
  that. I think Major League Soccer has paved the way for what future sporting
• 31:30
  leagues are going to look like. I thought with the launch of NFL Plus
• 31:34
  that the NFL was going to start going to that point, which they are,
• 31:38
  because if you're subscribed to NFL Plus, at least on your tablet or
• 31:41
  smartphone, you can watch pretty much every game local in market, YouTube TV's
• 31:48
  Sunday Ticket, You're able to watch stuff out of market on any device.
• 31:52
  At this point that the challenge is it all comes down to money. You
• 31:56
  could bet that probably in the negotiation tables, with the contracts that were stipulated
• 32:01
  in the last media agreement for the NFL with their four or five respective partners,
• 32:07
  you could bet that when they said, hey, I think we want
• 32:09
  to get Prime the playoff game this year, NBC saying well, what do
• 32:13
  we get exclusive? And imagine I think it's I think it's better that they
• 32:17
  chose this game for Peacock Exclusive instead of Thanksgiving Night, but I think it's
• 32:23
  also it's also interesting to think about Paramount Plus hasn't gotten signed to that yet,
• 32:30
  so I wonder because they are dual casting CBS games, so I wonder
• 32:36
  when CBS Viacom will push on that. But one thing I realized that it's
• 32:39
  going to be lost in this. This is the final year of Al Michael's
• 32:44
  contract with Amazon Prime Video, so he's going to be calling a playoff game
• 32:47
  again. And for those who looked at social media, and I don't bash
• 32:52
  my colleagues, but social media has said that they do not like the energy
• 32:55
  that Al brings a Thursday night football, So I wonder how that that's going
• 33:00
  to play out to have Michael's back of the playoffs again, especially because people
• 33:02
  were very critical of his performance with Tony Dungee a couple of years ago with
• 33:07
  that miracle comeback that the Jaguars had against the Chargers. So it's interesting times
• 33:13
  in the National Football League, which, by the way, Spencer Candy and
• 33:15
  I did cover that came to Chargers in the all Right Candy take it away.
• 33:22
  Okay, if you have not heard yet, Scott wrote this book,
• 33:28

• 33:43
  You got to see there's a picture of him in Muhammad Ali when he was
• 33:45
  young and yes I mean young, And there's all kinds of other great quotes
• 33:52
  and stories about some of the different people that he has interviewed over the years.

• 35:13

  I should point out Candy Eveling did a masterful job putting Sideline Sports website
• 36:00
  together. You talk about a masterful job she did exactly. That had a
• 36:05
  little footnote on the Xavier Strepo interview that's gotten over two thousand views on YouTube.
• 36:13
  So you know, I three and a half minute interview got an awful
• 36:16
  lot of eyeballs out there, and those numbers all lie went there again.
• 36:22
  Then it sometimes in social media and all this stuff season to it. Maybe
• 36:24
  I'm still trying to figure it out. My man Jefter Forrest was doing it
• 36:28
  too, said two guys, but we're embracing it. It takes those old
• 36:31
  guys a little bit longer to do it. I corny classifying as one of
• 36:34
  those chapter four y. You know, we're just donning our day. We
• 36:39
  remember with South Florida Walls, once upon a time when you only had three
• 36:43
  team, the Strikers or Hurricanes and the Dolphins, and now I look what
• 36:45
  you got. Never mind will go okay, all right, well, you
• 36:49
  know, I guess probably do it the right guy. In the show tonight
• 36:51
  with George Aycorn because I can't give my hard time about menaging Michigan topics because
• 36:57
  I have a couple, but they happen to be good ones. We're going
• 37:00
  to talk about Jack Goldkie went crazy in the eighty to seventy six upset win
• 37:07
  over Kentucky. Has thirty two points, ten of them were three pointers,
• 37:12
  and he had a rebound. And when you compare the coaches of those two
• 37:16
  schools, Greg Campy makes a three hundred and thirty thousand dollars not bad amount
• 37:22
  of money if you can get it, or John Caliperry getting eight point five
• 37:27
  million dollars for Kentucky. Now, when you talk about the powerful nature of
• 37:32
  social media, get this. Goldkie had five hundred followers on verified Thursday and
• 37:40
  then to beat Kentucky after that three point barrage on Friday at pointy thousand,
• 37:46
  six hundred verified subscribers. You talk about the power of success, social media
• 37:52
  explosion. That was at all right, JB. I gave you a lot
• 37:57
  to think about between the coach and salaries and social media. But does Jack
• 38:00
  Goldkie definitely put Oakland on the man they get from there? First of all,
• 38:07
  That's what March Madness says guys like Golkie doing crazy things that they wouldn't
• 38:13
  do normally, stepping up, seeing a team like Oakland, not in California,
• 38:17
  in Michigan, showing up and beating Kentucky, who has been awful the
• 38:22
  last five tournaments. If I'm correct, and you know, Cali Perry,
• 38:25
  why he still has a job, I don't know. You know, he's
• 38:30
  not doing a very good job getting his team to advance in the tournament.
• 38:34
  He has the advantage of getting top rank talent every year, but they just
• 38:39
  they can't seem to win in the tournament, you know, and if you
• 38:43
  lose into Oakland, which is great, it's a great story because this year
• 38:45
  has been a very shalky tournament hasn't been too many upsets. So the Oakland
• 38:51
  story was great. NC State's another great story. But yeah, you compare
• 38:54
  the difference in salary, you compare the difference in money. That's the school
• 39:00
  have the basketball programs. This is a phenomenal thing to see a team like
• 39:04
  Oakland. When when you see a guy like Golkie go crazy with ten threes,
• 39:08
  that's phenomenal, and it's you know what, It's an experience they'll never
• 39:12
  forget because he's not gonna play in the NBA. You know this, this
• 39:15
  is his big moment. Where the guys at Kentucky they're gonna play in the
• 39:20
  NBA. They're gonna have bigger moments. This was his his night, and
• 39:23
  that's why we watched the tournament. Joe, I'll give you a thirty three
• 39:28
  million reasons why Cali Perry kept his job. Okay, you know what that
• 39:32
  is? Thirty three million dollars and that's what his buyout is this year.
• 39:37
  So next to Kentucky, they got they got plenty it. It's not a
• 39:39
  bunny thing. Well, we're not talking about you know, Seaton Hall.
• 39:45
  Kentucky's got enough money in their program. That's that they don't want to pay
• 39:50
  the money, but they have it. Okay, sounds good, all right,
• 39:54
  Spencer, what do you think about mister Goldie? I think JB kind
• 39:59
  of a drug a trusted on the money side of things. Where his contract
• 40:02
  is requires he has to be owed seventy five percent of it, which translates
• 40:06
  to thirty three million dollars. They probably have the money on standby, they
• 40:09
  don't want to pay it because they want to put it into other things in
• 40:13
  that circumstance, but anytime somebody gets upset, upset talks about March madness or
• 40:17
  any type of upsets or whatever, I just tell them, well, if
• 40:21
  you look, if you look at the following sample here and cue the March
• 40:23
  madness theme from CBS Turner, because it JB. Did you clarified it perfectly.
• 40:29
  It's March madness. These type of upsets happen all the time. Now.
• 40:34
  I have a friend of mine who is a devout Kentucky fan, football,
• 40:37
  basketball, any of those sports, you name it, and he has
• 40:40
  been of the opinion and this is his that I think I could kind of
• 40:45
  see. His opinion is that, well, we have these great players with
• 40:47
  Kentucky right that are bound to go to the NBA, at least several of
• 40:52
  them. They'll go to the NBA. They realize they're about to get contracts
• 40:55
  or they're going to be signed. So what reason do they have to put
• 41:00
  their bodies on the line in March madness and go fully through it and risk
• 41:04
  getting injured and not getting those contracts. So his opinion has always been,
• 41:08
  well, what's the point of us trying in March madness. We're gonna get
• 41:12
  paid millions of dollars to put our bodies on the line. Why do we
• 41:15
  do this in Kentucky? And Nil has kind of helped alleviate that in some
• 41:20
  circumstances, but not a whole lot. I was talking to my sports announcement
• 41:23
  class about this too. It hasn't happened. I think this is maybe the
• 41:28
  seventh or eighth time in March Madness history on the men's bracket where the number
• 41:32
  one and number two seeds for every for every region have made it to the
• 41:38
  sweet sixteen. Now, it's happened recently, I think in twenty one maybe
• 41:43
  or twenty nineteen. It happened at least in more recent years, but before
• 41:46
  that, it hadn't happened since the eighties. So this is a very abnormal
• 41:51
  bracket that we're seeing. Yeah, sure, there's not as many upsets that
• 41:54
  we're seeing. I mean, Oregon busted everybody's bracket and Kentucky getting upset us
• 42:00
  busted a lot of brackets. But this is where we're seeing some of the
• 42:02
  greatest basketball that's happening. Will we see the number one seeds go to the
• 42:07
  final four? I don't know. It seems to me like there's gonna be
• 42:10
  at least one upset Purdue, but there's gotta be at least one upset that's
• 42:16
  snuck in there in summer guards. But I just you know, I love
• 42:21
  March Madness. I love basketball, And shout out to our colleague Andrew Catalan,
• 42:25
  who's gonna call his first Sweet sixteen and Elite eight matches with Jim Nantz
• 42:30
  retiring, Andrew Catalan and Steve LAPAs getting promoted to that kind of fourth crew
• 42:36
  for the Sweet sixteen at Elite eight, so that part is special as well.
• 42:38
  But I just I love watching March Madness, both the men's and women's
• 42:43
  side. I know we're talking about the men's in this point, but they
• 42:45
  always just produce such such great content. Well, it's amazing how you bring
• 42:50
  up Laughis and Catalan because they were at the FAU Memphis game, which,
• 42:53
  by the way, I was at over at They call it the La Center,
• 43:00
  eleanor Baldwin, but I always say if the arena because I haven't quite
• 43:04
  figured it out cabling. By the way, men just gold Mark at Yeah,
• 43:07
  they're the number two seed for you know those what's that three Big East
• 43:15
  teams we played after this weekend. Yeah, they had a good run.
• 43:20
  Why Saint Johns gun in as anybody's guess. But but yeah, right exactly
• 43:27
  there deals with Fox, CBS has the other has the A c C and
• 43:32
  you know things like that. I think that had a lot to do with
• 43:35
  it. Look at it really afterwards, Yeah, I do, because the
• 43:38
  Big East, they haven't gotten the teams like they usually get the last couple
• 43:43
  of years. Their deals with Fox Fox is it with the tournament. CPS
• 43:46
  has the SEC you know, and a lot of the other conferences. And
• 43:52
  when you look at the teams that are getting it, that could play a
• 43:54
  part in it. You know, intriguing, never heard of before. But
• 44:00
  I can see where you're coming from. I George, Well, you know,
• 44:04
  Greg Campy. Hats off to coach Campy. I mean he's well known
• 44:07
  obviously where I live in the state of Michigan. Forty years. This man
• 44:13
  has been living and breathing college basketball for forty seasons. And I'm telling you,
• 44:19
  you know, they've only made the NCAA Tournament a handful of times,
• 44:22
  but this one really really put Oakland University on the map. It's a very
• 44:30
  very disappointing Kentucky team this year. But I give all the credit word's due,
• 44:36
  you know, Jack like he you know, he's not even the leading
• 44:37
  scorer. He's a second leading scorer in the regular season for the Oakland Golden
• 44:44
  Grizzlies. But this is a kid that came from Hillsdale College and you know,
• 44:49
  Scott and I remember this because they were in the same league as Wayne
• 44:52
  State University, and you know the Gleiac. It's called the Gleiac And this
• 44:58
  is an amazing story. He came over for one one season only to Oakland
• 45:01
  and did a masterful job as a ballplayer. And it's funny when CBS.
• 45:07
  I don't know if you caught it, but the pregame show last Saturday,
• 45:12
  just after twelve noon, or maybe a little before, but anyways, they
• 45:15
  interviewed Jack next to Greg and you know, Greg says, well, yeah,
• 45:20
  this kid next to me here, he won't go in the NBA.
• 45:23
  He'll be selling insurance next year. And everybody laughed the whole studio. It
• 45:28
  was a great line by Campy and it just goes to show you that,
• 45:31
  yeah, I mean, we're not lining up to go into the NBA.
• 45:36
  Any of these players mostly from the Horizon League, which is where they come
• 45:40
  from. But yeah, they won the regular season. They had a great
• 45:44
  year Oakland, they won the tournaments, so they got the automatic bid and
• 45:47
  it was wonderful. I mean, they've done a great job. And like
• 45:51
  I said, hats off to Campy. He's just a baller. I mean
• 45:53
  when it comes to coaching these guys, he just loves it, you know.
• 45:58
  And he loves golfing too. But he had to delay his golfing a
• 46:01
  little bit by advancing his team the into the what is it round of thirty
• 46:08
  two? Round of Yeah. Anyways, it was a great It is still
• 46:13
  a great story and it's done a lot for his program, and hats off
• 46:17
  to him. It was great. Great watching that game and great for that
• 46:22
  kid to get ten three points. Unbelievable. All right, well, you
• 46:25
  know what, Georgie, we're going to segue to the final topic of the
• 46:29
  night. We're gonna start off with you, and I'll tell you why we're
• 46:31
  gonna start off with you, George, Because what Oakland spent on men's basketball
• 46:36
  in twenty twenty three, we're going to compare in contrast Oakland and Kentucky.
• 46:39
  The Oakland Golden Grizzlies spent two point three million dollars this year versus Kentucky twenty
• 46:45
  three point six million dollars. Okay, all right, George, what's your
• 46:51
  take on that. I mean, that's a bit of a difference, there
• 46:53
  isn't it. Oh Gosha well a gb says, I mean they got so
• 47:00
  many deep pockets there in Kentucky. I mean that's a blue bread and blue
• 47:04
  blue ribbon, blue bread whatever school, and they're one that has to be
• 47:08
  in the final for every single season, despite the nonsense of Caliperry not of
• 47:15
  getting them there. That's their goal obviously every year. Yeah, the Oakland
• 47:20
  University, if people don't know, it's a it's a very well to do
• 47:23
  suburb here in metro Detroit. It's a city called Rochester. Actually part of
• 47:29
  the campus is in Rochester and part of it's in Auburn Hills, which you
• 47:34
  may remember was the home of the Detroit Pistons when they played at a place
• 47:37
  called the Palace. So anyways, you got this school that really is a
• 47:42
  They really specialize in what I call professionals, you know, white collared professional
• 47:47
  that type of education, you know, undergraduate master degrees. But these guys
• 47:52
  are these these kids are pretty darn smart. So they don't have a football
• 47:55
  team. It is their bread and butter the men's basketball team. They have
• 48:00
  other sports as well. But Oakland University, Yeah, there that that really
• 48:06
  shocked me when I heard that, Scott. But uh, there's obviously no
• 48:08
  comparison to how much money it's spend in Kentucky. But I tell you what,
• 48:13
  they they certainly made the most of their money at Oakland. I mean
• 48:16
  they have, I mean when they got this far. And they also have
• 48:20
  a situation where they've got a really unique gym that oh O Arena. It's
• 48:25
  called if you guys haven't seen it, it's like a gold for very unusual
• 48:30
  color for a for a hard court, and it's it's a goldish. Their
• 48:35
  colors are gold and black that the team colors. But yeah, it is
• 48:38
  a it is. It is a remarkable statistic. I'm glad you brought it
• 48:44
  up. But I don't think that, Uh, the smaller schools may never
• 48:49
  catch up. But boy, when they get their their shining moment and they
• 48:52
  took advantage of it. Let me give it a little bit of information about
• 48:55
  Oakland University. First of all, Blake Close, glad you made it.
• 48:59
  What's going on? How we're talking college basketball, NFL and dustyam May So
• 49:02
  that's what we've talked about so far. First of all, I actually contemplated
• 49:06
  getting a master's degree at Oakland University. And I remember back in the days
• 49:10
  when I went to the University of South Florida, all we had was the
• 49:14
  basketball program, not the football program, and our homecoming was over at the
• 49:19
  basketball games. I'm sure that the same thing holds true for Oakland University.
• 49:22
  Their homecoming is probably the basketball game, and they should. But it's a
• 49:27
  great academic institution. I could kick the tires about getting a master's degree,
• 49:31
  but when I kept talking some of my colleges and Metro Detroit, they said,
• 49:36
  yeah, you don't really need a master's degree and mass communications to go
• 49:39
  deeper into the business. But I did kick the tires on it, and
• 49:43
  I was thinking about heavily going. So it's a great school. I'm glad
• 49:45
  they had a little bit of a run there in NC State was way too
• 49:49
  much for them. But fact of the matter, and besides, you never
• 49:52
  know, Jack Goldkie can be a second round pick for anybody. You know,
• 49:55
  it's a low risk pick. Anyway, you might find yourself another three
• 50:00
  point specialists out there. I've seen crazier things happen in the NBA Draft,
• 50:05
  which we get a birth of European players for sure. So but that said,
• 50:09
  I'm gonna turn it over to Spencer. You know, it's especially when
• 50:15
  it comes down to money, essentially, with Kentucky spending ten times that amount.
• 50:20
  It certainly the obvious answer is that the SEC just means more. I
• 50:23
  mean, you can define that by athletic competition and money spent and campus prestige
• 50:30
  and all of that. But I like what George pointed out, and some
• 50:32
  of these arenas you would not know about them until they get their one shining
• 50:38
  moments, like you wouldn't even think about a kind of goldish tint on a
• 50:44
  court or anything along those lines. But I think it's that's the beauty of
• 50:49
  March Madness. The College Football Playoff doesn't really have that because there, because
• 50:53
  it's now. I mean, we'll see how it plays out with the twelve
• 50:55
  team playoff and the expansion of the conference champions and things like that, but
• 51:00
  it's still it's still not you know, not as you know, not as
• 51:07
  large, and I would argue not necessarily as equitable as the NC Double A
• 51:12
  tournament goes, because at least with the with March Madness, you have teams
• 51:16
  that even if your season was terrible, you are the last seed in your
• 51:22
  conference tournament. If you go on a run and win the conference championship,
• 51:24
  you're automatically into the NC Double A tournament. With college football, even Alabama
• 51:31
  with becoming the number four seed by still a miracle in my mind, then
• 51:37
  becoming the number four seed, they lost one game against Texas, one game
• 51:43
  and they were on the verge of not having a chance at a national championship.
• 51:49
  But with basketball, and I know that there's a differing arguments about how
• 51:52
  basketball and football are different animals, and we can that's a whole nother debate
• 51:57
  for another day. But even even you go lower in college football with Division
• 52:01
  two and Division three, they have a larger bracket to be able to and
• 52:05
  it goes deeper into January for all the teams you know being able to play.
• 52:08
  But with basketball, it's it's very much a lot more equitable in my
• 52:14
  mind, where you're able to you're able to see these teams have their one
• 52:17
  shining moments or go on the runs. I mean, we talk about FAU,
• 52:22
  think about Saint Peter's a couple of years ago when they had that magical
• 52:24
  run going all the way to the final four. It's now, I don't
• 52:30
  know. I don't know how long it's been since we've had a first four
• 52:34
  team make a deep run into the postseason. To my knowledge, I don't
• 52:37
  think a first four team has ever won the national championship. But it's it's
• 52:44
  imagine being able to have that chance in football, and how many players would
• 52:49
  not opt out of the bowl games, would continually bust their chops to be
• 52:54
  able to get to that point and have that chance. So I think it's
• 52:59
  yeah, sure, money's way different in that regard, But all that matters
• 53:02
  is that Oakland got the W and Kentucky got the out. All right.
• 53:06
  Well, I also want to mention some about Oakland University. At one point
• 53:09
  they were considering buying the Palace of Albert Hills, but it never came to
• 53:14
  fruition. All right, we have some breaking news tonight. And you know
• 53:16
  what, Candy, I'm like, come on on here and you can go
• 53:19
  ahead and break the breaking news. All right. We got two things that
• 53:21
  you put up there. Feel free to go out there and mentioned and these
• 53:23
  are pretty good stories. Go ahead, Candy, come back on and you
• 53:28
  have the Brewers and you have FAU. All right, Candy. So the
• 53:31
  first thing is is the Milwaukee Brewers versus New York Mets were supposed to start
• 53:36
  opening day tomorrow. It has been rescheduled to Friday, the twenty ninth due
• 53:40
  to rain. The other thing is is the breaking news. You guys have
• 53:45
  just been talking about Dusty May and we all know he left FAU. Florida
• 53:49
  Atlantic agrees to a five year deal with Baylor associate head coach John Jackis,
• 53:55
  who led them to the national championship back in twenty twenty one. So he
• 54:00
  is a proven coach, so that good hire for them. Yeah, so's
• 54:05
  be a head top. So there you have it. FAU has a replacement
• 54:07
  for justin a breaking news here, thanks for presenting? All right, who
• 54:12
  we got left here? We got mister Ellis right, go ahead. Ye.
• 54:15
  So first thing is the Mets are right now. Nobody really cares.
• 54:20
  It's a shame the Brewers for Candy. You know why baseball in March makes
• 54:25
  any sense? I don't know, but hey, I don't control the MLBU.
• 54:30
  Every wants to road it for everybody, not just us. But you
• 54:36
  know, it's amazing when you look at what these schools in March Madness could
• 54:40
  do with. You know, I think basketball is just such a different sport.
• 54:45
  You can win with so many different styles. You don't need to have
• 54:50
  a lot of facilities, you don't need to have a lot of equipment.
• 54:53
  You need a basketball and a hoop, you don't need a lot of space.
• 54:58
  Football you need pads, you need football, you need to field,
• 55:01
  you know. So it's that's why I think it's so different, and there's
• 55:04
  so many different styles that can win. Where football it's very physical. If
• 55:07
  you're quicker, stronger, you're you're gonna win, you know, I mean
• 55:12
  their upsets happened. But ninety nine percent of the time at football, the
• 55:16
  stronger, more physical team's gonna win. You know. Where in basketball you
• 55:21
  could be quicker, you can play stronger, you could you know, you're
• 55:23
  gon be taller, you can be the shorter team. It's just there's so
• 55:27
  many different styles and there's no direct way that this is the way that's always
• 55:31
  gonna win. Where football it's usually you know, the bigger, the stronger,
• 55:37
  the team that's it. That's the only way it's gonna happen. So
• 55:40
  that's why I think March Madness is so crazy and special because you're just throwing
• 55:45
  teams against each other, teams that would never play because you know, Kentucky's
• 55:50
  not scheduled in Oakland. They've probably you know how many times they met.
• 55:53
  It's probably the first time I would say, I believe, you know.
• 55:59
  I mean, they do have some games early in the season where they'll play
• 56:02
  teams that you know, but they're usually regional. It'll be like another Kentucky
• 56:07
  school that so they can get an easy way to get a tune up and
• 56:09
  to the other Kentucky school to payday, you know, because they got to
• 56:13
  play a bigger school and oh my guy's got to go up against who the
• 56:16
  big stars are at Kentucky that year. But you know, it's a great
• 56:21
  thing. As far as the money and the disparity, that's the way all
• 56:25
  sports is. I mean, except where you have salary caps in the NFL
• 56:30
  and things like that. You know, college sports is always going to be
• 56:32
  which school has more money, They're going to spend more. It doesn't mean
• 56:37
  you're better or you're gonna get anywhere. You could spend the most money and
• 56:40
  still lose, you know. I mean, I'm sure if you look through
• 56:45
  the national championships over the last ten to fifteen years. I would say the
• 56:50
  schools that are in the top five and spending probably haven't won one of them.
• 56:54
  I George, you had some news of your own. Are validate jv
• 57:00
  Ellis's point about baseball, and Martinito ed, yeah, jab another one,
• 57:04
  and this is a big one. This is Atlanta at Philadelphia postponed, as
• 57:09
  Candy mentioned earlier, Milwaukee at New York mats's postponed, and you still got
• 57:15
  I think the heads in the sand for baseball when you open up in March
• 57:19
  in cities like Baltimore, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York. I mean,
• 57:23
  these are cold weather city Cincinnati, you're taking a risk. You're taking a
• 57:27
  chance. So mother Nature, Mother Nature postpone two games tomorrow already. Thank
• 57:32
  you, You're welcome. I just want to dive into this real quick.
• 57:36
  We'll probably talk about it in more detail next week. Lord Atlanta goes to
• 57:39
  Baylor to get associate head coach John Jackets. I like that. I don't
• 57:43
  know what's about the hire, so't comment. But when you grant the associate
• 57:46
  head coach from Baylor, you're talking about Scott Drew, who's done a masterful
• 57:52
  job with the Baylor Bears. It's that you have, so I'm gonna learn
• 57:57
  more about it. Don't want to get too much in it, but I'll
• 57:59
  tell you one thing I know. Brian White, well, well I've got
• 58:00
  a cell phone. He's going to be on a future edition of Motor City
• 58:05
  man Mouth Show. He doesn't mess around. Brian Moose early quickly we all
• 58:08
  know he landed Dusty May So I had to really think hard about making the
• 58:13
  sire So I'll give I had the benefit of the doubt on this with John
• 58:16
  jacobs Hire curious to find out more about the coach? Can anything you want
• 58:21
  to add? Jackis was at Baylor for seven seasons, including the team's national
• 58:25
  championship season in twenty twenty one, and spent time at Gonzaga as director of
• 58:30
  operations under Mark Few before that. During the three year stretch, the Bulldogs
• 58:36
  went to an Elite eight, one year, a Sweet sixteen, and the
• 58:39
  next and then national title game. He also spent twelve seasons on Division One
• 58:45
  staffs. The teams have posted a combined three hundred and sixteen and ninety nine
• 58:50
  record. There you go, Yeah, there you go. The woman that
• 58:55
  Jeff the Forrest went out there and recommended to do voiceovers again. We call
• 59:00
  it our crack statistician Candy Wling, the jack of all trades and master of
• 59:06
  them all too. I couldn't give you a big biohun her because it's growing
• 59:09
  by the second anyway, So whatever. So anyways, that does conclude this
• 59:14
  edition of the Sports Exchange. I'm going to do is have everybody. Let
• 59:16
  everybody know that you can hold of them and Candy will take us home.
• 59:20
  All right, go ahead, George, how can everybody get a hold of
• 59:22
  you? All right? Scott? Yeah, you can reach me at gi
• 59:25
  Cornet Yahoo dot com. I'm LinkedIn under my name and also on Twitter x
• 59:31
  that's where it's sand G Sports ninety nine. You can follow me at the
• 59:37
  Motor City Tribune, which is underneath the South Florid a tribute banner where I
• 59:40
  write columns and at the end of each column there's a link to look up
• 59:45
  my book Detroit Sports Broadcasters on the Air. And that's a nice book that
• 59:50
  Scott's in it as well, and we got a great history of Michigan and
• 59:53
  Detroit sports broadcasting. If you want to purchase it, it's at Amazon dot
• 59:58
  com. Glad to be part of one hundred and eighty Stitches, the Sports
• 1:00:00
  Exchange, Punt It's Pundon and all these great programs like Fire Up as well.
• 1:00:05
  So great great show tonight, guys. George Alter wrote the forward for
• 1:00:08
  my book as well, and I was honored to do so. Thank you,
• 1:00:14
  Scott. Well, you're welcome, well deserved. What can I say?
• 1:00:15
  You know, you and I go back a long time, and if
• 1:00:19
  anybody deserve to do the forward, you did it all right. Spencer my
• 1:00:22
  prize pupil who by the way, we'll be doing some episodes a Professor and
• 1:00:28
  the Pupil going forward. I think that's a good show for Spencer to be
• 1:00:31
  on. And you know Bulldozer marketing as classic what else? You know what
• 1:00:37
  I'm going to say, but Spencer is going to be part of the revival
• 1:00:40
  of the Professor and the Pupil, and we'll be adding different people as we
• 1:00:45
  go. That show will probably air on Thursday nights from time to time,
• 1:00:50
  probably after nine o'clock Eastern time. So I'm glad to have Spencer coming on
• 1:00:54
  board in that role. There's anybody that can do that show with me,
• 1:01:00
  and of course Jeremy Bulrich could be a part of it. We'll see Jacob

• 1:01:25

• 1:01:31
  Instagram, LinkedIn, carry your pigeon. I'm not that hard to reach.
• 1:01:36
  But but you know, looking looking forward to help that to being a part
• 1:01:39
  of this even more. Scott and whatever. Anytime that Scott ever says hey,
• 1:01:44
  I want to get you on the show, I am always happy to
• 1:01:45
  help. And Sam sentiment that George express great show tonight, gentlemen. As
• 1:01:51
  it's always it's always good to it's always good to reconnect with you all.
• 1:01:54
  And Spencer, if the little in case people are just joining us right now,
• 1:01:58
  I want you to let everybody know that you what your role is at
• 1:02:00
  the University of Alabama. There's a lot, there's a lot of different things
• 1:02:06
  I do. I'm primarily a PhD student. I'm a few weeks out from
• 1:02:09
  completing coursework, which will make me a PhD candidate, meaning all I have
• 1:02:14
  to do is my comprehensive exams and dissertation. I also a play by play
• 1:02:20
  broadcaster, freelancing with Crimson Tie Productions as well as Alabama's adapted athletics program.
• 1:02:25
  Through my PhD program, I'm teaching classes for undergraduate students right now, teaching
• 1:02:32
  intro sports communication, and we just launched a sports announcing course the spring that
• 1:02:38
  I'm leaving the charge on with teaching this spring and then the next one in
• 1:02:43
  my final semester. So I'm doing a lot. There's a lot of stuff
• 1:02:45
  I'm doing on campus, but primarily sports broadcasting. Whenever they call me up,
• 1:02:51
  I gotta ask you a quick question just came to mind. What are
• 1:02:52
  your thoughts about Eli Gold no longer being Withers at Alabama? You know,
• 1:02:58
  I had conversations with my colleague about this, like right around when it happened.
• 1:03:02
  It's certainly not unprecedented for the University of Alabama than when coach Bear Bryant
• 1:03:08
  passed and they chose their new coach. They also let go of their play
• 1:03:13
  by play broadcast or on the radio through right before they even started. It
• 1:03:17
  was even more interesting because we had Eli Gold in the building in January for
• 1:03:23
  Q and A with our members and open it up for anyone at the university
• 1:03:30
  to join us. And he had no feeling whatsoever of that this was his
• 1:03:37
  last season or any sentiment that he was going to retire, he told He
• 1:03:42
  told us, I remember this distinct distinctly. In conversation, a student asked
• 1:03:46
  him about what his relationship has been like with Nick Saban. He talked about
• 1:03:50
  it, and he said, you know, I haven't met Calin de Bor,
• 1:03:52
  but I'm sure we'll get along just fine. So he was anticipating being
• 1:03:57
  a part of this season. How it's I understand that those who are supervisors,
• 1:04:03
  who are in power, they have a job to do. From what
• 1:04:06
  I understand, it was the university decided not to renew his contract and decided
• 1:04:11
  not to let him call a day that's coming up in a couple of weeks,
• 1:04:15
  and it you know, it's it's it's an unfortunate reality of this business.
• 1:04:20
  Even if you dedicate almost four decades of your life to university and doing
• 1:04:26
  coaches shows and guest appearances and games at home and on the road, not
• 1:04:31
  just on the football side, but basketball and softball and other other different events.
• 1:04:36
  Doesn't matter how much you dedicate to one place, you can you can
• 1:04:41
  be let go at any given point, so you have to try and make
• 1:04:45
  and make it to where your employers it would be impossible or way more detrimental
• 1:04:50
  to fire you than it would be to keep you on. So I you
• 1:04:54
  know, I love Eli. He he is a treasure. He's been very
• 1:04:58
  gracious with his time to me and content being talking to me about various things.
• 1:05:01
  And I I'm just glad he's got another job with the National Cats.
• 1:05:05
  Uh, so he's at least still employed in the business. And I forget
• 1:05:09
  which college that he's uh set to do games for as well on a freelance
• 1:05:14
  basis, But I'm glad that he's at least employed somewhere. It's it's just
• 1:05:17
  unfortunate that he couldn't go out on his own terms with with the Crimson Tide.
• 1:05:23
  George, I, Corny and I all know about that thrill too much
• 1:05:26
  with Ernie that blow up. I'm not going to get into it too much
• 1:05:30
  tonight. But Erny was ceremoniously let go, but luckily Mike Elich brought him
• 1:05:35
  back because you want to talk about a firestorm and a pr disaswer with the
• 1:05:39
  Detroit Tiger. All you need to do is google Ernie Harwell's firing and then
• 1:05:44
  you can see the backlash there. All right, Well, we're saying saving
• 1:05:47
  the best for last tonight and that's jb Ella's Look at this guy, he
• 1:05:51
  just wait, we got to say the best of last. I mean,
• 1:05:56
  all you go to the best. But you know, with all the respect,
• 1:06:00
  he's the only one that did not send a text message, although you
• 1:06:02
  didn't either, Spencer, I sent it to you about waiting till I got
• 1:06:06
  through the jeff to forest. So you know what jb ellis let everybody know
• 1:06:11
  how they get hold out. I want you to mention the website as well,
• 1:06:14

• 1:08:16
  can take us the rest of the way. You said it best when you
• 1:08:19
  said you saved the best for last, and George laughed. He thought it
• 1:08:24
  was JB. Hey, I'll take the last one. She is not going
• 1:08:32
  to forgive you for that one. Scott, Come on, man, well
• 1:08:35
  you know what, Spencer. I've been in trouble my whole life earlier.
• 1:08:42
  I'm the only clone on the planet that could tear an ankle up on Christmas
• 1:08:45
  Day. And I do want to say this, so I may have it
• 1:08:50
  rough at home, but I do want to say on behalf of your family
• 1:08:55
  here at the Sports Exchange, for all those individuals that are celebrating the Easter
• 1:08:59
  holiday and Good Friday, I want to wish you guys out there a very
• 1:09:02
  happy Easter as well as good Fridays for those of you that are of the
• 1:09:06
  Jewish faith. Okay, happy Passover as well. So I may get passed

• 1:09:15
  getting passed over by the rest of you people out There's a happy Easter and
• 1:09:19
  happy Passover to all of our Jewish friends and non Jewish people during this holy
• 1:09:24
  holiday, and I'll get it back to Candy e Bling. Otherwise I may
• 1:09:28
  be saying, Holy cow, what did I say. I was going to
• 1:09:30
  break an ankle? Hey, listen, let me tell you. When people
• 1:09:32
  say break a leg to me, I say, no, you really don't
• 1:09:34
  want me to do that, because I've been known to do stuff like that.
• 1:09:38
  If you're in the entertainment business out there, don't tell me to break
• 1:09:42
  a leg because I'm able to wind up in the hospital and have to use
• 1:09:45
  my insurance card. So give me good luck, but just don't say break
• 1:09:47
  a leg. All right, Katy, back to you before I put my
