  Speaker 1: We're talking Olympics here with you, and I brought that
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: up because he's watching them. We're talking about Franz Klamber
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: in the downhill and now we're getting in the skeleton.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Helton is just the one you jump on and you're like,
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: guess you know, and bob sled and they hold like this.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: They don't go like that because the winds cher would
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: be will slow you down. So they're down there like that.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: And isn't there like a two man lose? Yes? How
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: does that work? I don't know? Can you imagine that?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know they had a way.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I'm going down in the sledge jump on me.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't even realize they had a one person bob
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: sled competition.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I didn't American one. I he wanted to go back
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: to the American one today. Yeah, I think about that.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: How about that? Yeah? I love it.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Speaking of the Americans, the women's hockey team, they're really good.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I heard they'll play Canada on Thursday for the gold. Uh,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Villanova's coming up, and you said block is coming back.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Villanova since playing Yukon is seven and one. They've won
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: six straight. Beat crating on Sunday with a big second half.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Bosco's good, Curry's good. The freshman Henry, she's really good.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Denise has another good club. And look, you know, you
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: don't know what's gonna happen around. Philly is a tough other,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: tough place to play, but seemingly as long as they
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: take care of their business, they're gonna be the other
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: NCAA team.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right now, I checked one. I think they have
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: them as like a ten seed probably, yeah, yeah, like
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: a ten seed. And now, you know, we need more
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: good teams in the Big East. I mean, this is
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: the worst Big East League in the history of the
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Big East men and women. The men are slightly better,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: not much. They have two teams in the top twenty five.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: We have one. You know, so it's never been this
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: tragic in the league. And you know, you you remember
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: what it used to be like. You remember how it's
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: just incredibly difful goal it was to get wins. And
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I'm always trying to talk to our coaches about how
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: do we you know, how do we do this, how
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: do we get better? How do we get more teams
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: in the NCAA tournament? You know, how can we attract
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: more good players? And it's a it's a it's a
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: little bit of an uphill battle, especially in the world
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: now revenue sharing and stuff like that. You know, you
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: get you get a kid like Basco who was a
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: freshman last year Freshman of the Year. No Sarah was.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I think if we weren't in the league, she's the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: best player. She's the best player in the league. I
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: think without us in the league, she's the best player
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: in the league. A lot of times those kids would
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: leave for more money, something just like Lucy Olsen did, right.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: The kid have going over. You know, somebody comes along
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: offers them a lot of money, or they think, oh,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I can go play in a better league, I can
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: be on national television more so. You know, recruiting really
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: good players is hard in the Big East. Keeping them
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: as hard, you know, and you're starting to see that,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: you know. I looked at even on the men's side.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I looked at the top twenty five on the men's side,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and I think last time I checked, there were either
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: four or five of the twenty five that were not
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: those power for football schools. So it's kind of like
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: little by little, you know, they're doing everything they can
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: to kind of push us, you know, aside, and you know,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: we've got to you know, I was like at Yukon,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: we've been able to do it, you know, the men
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: have we have. Everybody else is kind of like, you know,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: up and down. Yeah, I think going over men will
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: be back.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're probably the third best team.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Kevin Kevin Willard's terrific. I mean, they were, they
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: would probably get in, you know, if they keep playing
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: the way they're playing. But right now, on the men's side,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: they only have two. If the season ended right now,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: they would have Yukon and Saint John's and we would
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: have you kind of billing o. So hopefully, you know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: some of these teams keep winning and maybe we each
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: get you know, a couple more in or women.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: You know, are they scheduling out of conference as well
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: as you do? I mean, I know Tony Bazilla has
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: tried to up in a little bit at Seaton Hall.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think they they're trying to. It's
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: just it's hard for them to get games, you know,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: so a lot of times they have to win on
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the road. And Saint John's beat Oklahoma State, it was ranked.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Then they lose to De Paul who has six wins.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: So you know, I think you you get caught in
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: a situation where you might not be able to beat
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Yu Khon or you can't be Villanova. But at the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: same time, it's a tough spot. You can't lose to
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the teams below you because the games you lose. I
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: don't know if you know how the NCAA tournament works.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: The games you win are okay, that's great, but the teams,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the games you lose, is what knocks you out of
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the tournament. So you could say, hey, look what we
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: beat We beat them then then then yeah, but you
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: lost to these guys, these guys, and these guys like
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: you're not going to make the tournament.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: That's kind of what happened to the baseball team this
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: last spring.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: You cannot lose to teams that are down the road,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: down the bracket, or down the standings from you. You cannot, right,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: you cannot. You don't have to beat the top guys,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: but you can't lose to those guys, right, And that's
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: what happens in our league. They all kind of beat
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: each other all the time. Some people just need to
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: lose on purpose so we can get more people in
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: the tournament.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Back with Geno in a minute. We're live at the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Hollywood Manchester Country Club. We're listening on Learfield. Stay with
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: us on this Monday night.
