- 3:04Speaker 7: because it's gonna warm up a little bit, and the
- 3:06Speaker 7: something was out already.
- 3:07Speaker 3: The majority of mine did take care of itself. That
- 3:09Speaker 3: was a try Haard getting out there at like seven
- 3:11Speaker 3: in the morning.
- 3:12Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, you look like you look like a
- 3:15Speaker 5: man noticing his duty to take that man house.
- 3:19Speaker 3: Proud of you, let's go look at you. That's when
- 3:21Speaker 3: I clear.
- 3:21Speaker 7: When I'm done clear the driveway, I like to I
- 3:23Speaker 7: like to take a victory lap at home, you know
- 3:25Speaker 7: what I mean.
- 3:25Speaker 3: I have to walk around, you know, like I'm like,
- 3:27Speaker 3: I'm the man. You know, Hey, how.
- 3:29Speaker 5: Many angles do you look at your driveway at once
- 3:31Speaker 5: you're done clearing the snow off?
- 3:33Speaker 7: You know, I just you know, walk inside like a
- 3:36Speaker 7: driveway's done. You know, it's all set, all done, all done.
- 3:39Speaker 5: Then you go and pour yourself a cup of coffee, Drew.
- 3:41Speaker 5: And you know he stands right by that big window
- 3:43Speaker 5: right in front, puts the hand on the side, takes
- 3:45Speaker 5: a sip.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Feel productive already? You know that's good. Yeah, a little
- 3:49Speaker 3: ego involved this. Proud of you listen, because your boy
- 3:51Speaker 3: did all that nature take care of itself. I was.
- 3:54Speaker 3: I was very very quick Drew to let that one
- 3:56Speaker 3: shouldn't to worry about that anymore. Drew, not at all.
- 3:59Speaker 6: Yeah, a resident is nice in that regard, although yeah,
- 4:03Speaker 6: sometimes the sidewalks. You know, our sidewalks usually pretty clear.
- 4:07Speaker 6: Those HOA fees go for yep with that in the neighborhood.
- 4:10Speaker 6: If they're not clear, that kind of sucks. But hey,
- 4:13Speaker 6: you know it won't be long. You guys will be
- 4:16Speaker 6: able to run the gas out of the snowblower and
- 4:17Speaker 6: have that ceremony. Yes, a little stable in there, you know,
- 4:21Speaker 6: a little in the run it through.
- 4:23Speaker 3: The problem was Drew.
- 4:24Speaker 5: I was actually proud of myself, and I thought something
- 4:26Speaker 5: would be talk about the victory lap. I actually thought
- 4:28Speaker 5: ahead and went and got gas for the snowblower because
- 4:31Speaker 5: the last time it snowed, your boy didn't have gas
- 4:34Speaker 5: in the snowblower, and then decided that I was going
- 4:36Speaker 5: to shovel the entire thing instead of going and getting
- 4:38Speaker 5: gas for the snowblower.
- 4:39Speaker 3: Then I didn't even have to use it.
- 4:41Speaker 6: You got another eight weeks of the danger zone where
- 4:44Speaker 6: we could get like sure, I still like clockwork. It
- 4:47Speaker 6: used to happen every year around Saint Patrick's Day, around
- 4:52Speaker 6: the time of the State Weeks tournament in Madison covering
- 4:55Speaker 6: state high schools. Me and Patricus we camped at the
- 4:58Speaker 6: Concourse Hotel for the girls tournament one week and then
- 5:01Speaker 6: the boys tournament the next week, and it would always
- 5:03Speaker 6: at some point a huge.
- 5:05Speaker 3: Massive snowstorm.
- 5:07Speaker 6: It'd be like the field house announcer, those of you
- 5:09Speaker 6: from Amherst might want to hit the road now, roads
- 5:11Speaker 6: are really bad.
- 5:12Speaker 3: Okay.
- 5:14Speaker 7: It's one of those things where you said to yourself, too,
- 5:16Speaker 7: you look at the ten day at least I do,
- 5:17Speaker 7: and I'm like, all right, well, when's the next fifty
- 5:20Speaker 7: degree day? Maybe this thing will melt quickly. Yeah, knock
- 5:23Speaker 7: on the door this weekend. But the end of the
- 5:25Speaker 7: week is gonna be nice. But then a lot of times,
- 5:28Speaker 7: with the snowstorm you're talking about Drew, the one you'd
- 5:30Speaker 7: kind of at least expected they got it in Boston,
- 5:32Speaker 7: in New York last week, it would stay cold for
- 5:33Speaker 7: a week. Then you're like, I gotta go do this,
- 5:36Speaker 7: just knowing that in a month it's gonna be melted.
- 5:38Speaker 3: But just the way this.
- 5:39Speaker 6: Week's gonna be marked by rain and they're gonna be
- 5:41Speaker 6: knocking on sixty by Saturday.

- 8:42Speaker 6: play announcer.
- 8:43Speaker 3: We kept referring to Washington as you dub.
- 8:46Speaker 7: He was ripping on him on Twitter, and I was like, Doug,
- 8:49Speaker 7: I mean, you know, there's some kid out here. I
- 8:51Speaker 7: don't know who it was, but Doug. Doug chose to
- 8:54Speaker 7: be the pointer institute there.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Yea awful. He's like, I'm gonna let everyone know what
- 8:58Speaker 3: I think about it.
- 8:58Speaker 5: Yeah, And I did also see he was a little
- 9:00Speaker 5: he he had the the I R up when he
- 9:03Speaker 5: realized that the kid was like fourteen or fifteen.
- 9:05Speaker 3: Hey, he did definitely looked like a kid doing the game,
- 9:08Speaker 3: lighting up everybody. I thought he was all.
- 9:09Speaker 5: I thought it was good. Now the the you dumb thing?
- 9:12Speaker 5: They had the Venmo rivalry series out there. I don't
- 9:14Speaker 5: know if you guys caught this right. This one actually
- 9:17Speaker 5: could be a Venmo rivalry series that the Big tender
- 9:20Speaker 5: didn't realize they were gonna stumble upon with a you
- 9:22Speaker 5: dubbed battle who gets to be the real you dumb?
- 9:25Speaker 5: I would say this, you know, like, how do we
- 9:28Speaker 5: know they don't refer to themselves as you dubbed just
- 9:30Speaker 5: as much as we refer to dumb. Exact absolutely so
- 9:34Speaker 5: they on their broadcast. He has the absolute right to
- 9:36Speaker 5: tell his fans you dumb because that's what they know.
- 9:39Speaker 5: You know, I mean, the sun doesn't rise and fall
- 9:42Speaker 5: with us all the time.
- 9:44Speaker 3: Like that's that's just the way I would look at it.
- 9:46Speaker 3: I just I like that. I like it made some
- 9:48Speaker 3: people mad.
- 9:49Speaker 7: When Doug starts getting in his bag talking about like
- 9:52Speaker 7: broadcast theory and broadcast you know what you should be doing.
- 9:55Speaker 3: I love that one.
- 9:56Speaker 5: Doug's going, that's once again the reason why you gotta
- 9:59Speaker 5: have notified tweets on I'm missing this gold.

- 10:04Speaker 5: I'm just reading back through all of the all of
- 10:06Speaker 5: the gripes. Sorry, I apologize. It's not the it's not
- 10:08Speaker 5: the pacement And to.
- 10:09Speaker 7: Mosco was lighting up a high school game or a
- 10:11Speaker 7: high school broadcasters or what was it?
- 10:13Speaker 5: Did you guys see that? There was another one that
- 10:15Speaker 5: was my old Midwest Conference stylings. Oh that's what it was.
- 10:19Speaker 5: It was some old some old Midwest conference. Now listen to.
- 10:22Speaker 5: Mw C does provide some very very solid competition, might
- 10:27Speaker 5: not always provide the best in the student broadcasters, but
- 10:30Speaker 5: those guys were having some fun.
- 10:33Speaker 3: More fun then that Rob posted about it more the
- 10:36Speaker 3: equipment maybe that was an issue in that one.
- 10:38Speaker 5: So yeah, the equipment's never that great because you always believe, Drew,
- 10:42Speaker 5: when you're in that spot, when you're in the college
- 10:44Speaker 5: gym and the D three ranks, when you're first doing it,
- 10:46Speaker 5: you do always believe the volume has to be turned
- 10:48Speaker 5: all the way up because otherwise no one's gonna.
- 10:49Speaker 3: Be able to hear you.
- 10:50Speaker 5: Yeah, if I don't turn the volume up, then no
- 10:53Speaker 5: one's going to be able to hear them. Even though
- 10:55Speaker 5: everyone in the gym already hears you. Everyone online can
- 10:59Speaker 5: actually hear you way louder than you need to be.
- 11:02Speaker 5: But you're just cranking that thing. It's like when you
- 11:04Speaker 5: get the first stereo into the car, you put that
- 11:07Speaker 5: big sub warfare into the trunk, You're like, all right,
- 11:09Speaker 5: we're turning the son of a gun all the way
- 11:10Speaker 5: to max and seeing what we can do with it.
- 11:12Speaker 5: Let's rattle this cage.
- 11:13Speaker 6: Absolutely eight seven seven seven ninety seven three. So game
- 11:16Speaker 6: balls and kicks to the balls. We opened the show
- 11:19Speaker 6: talking about the Bucks and Marquette, like which game was
- 11:22Speaker 6: more beastly ugly? Bucks losing to a team that's been
- 11:26Speaker 6: trying to lose when you lead at half, Like, so,
- 11:29Speaker 6: let's kick him both Bucks and Marquette for horrible basketball.
- 11:33Speaker 5: Yesterday we didn't get a shot up, Doc Rivers, Doc
- 11:37Speaker 5: Rivers six minute post game that was sort of frustrated.
- 11:39Speaker 5: He was frustrated, obviously. That was one of the peak
- 11:43Speaker 5: frustrations show. That's talking about how many three on one
- 11:46Speaker 5: to four one breaks.
- 11:47Speaker 6: The win an eight out of ten, and then like
- 11:51Speaker 6: it just disappears because of a, well, the Knicks are
- 11:53Speaker 6: the Knicks, and yeah, I can't stab Jalen Brunson ever,
- 11:56Speaker 6: and then the go to Chicago and lose that game.
- 11:58Speaker 6: Now no time to dwell on that one because you're
- 12:01Speaker 6: about to get throttled by Boston to night at home.
- 12:03Speaker 5: Yeah, and Drew, like you mentioned it, with all the
- 12:05Speaker 5: good will that you just built up and the excitement
- 12:07Speaker 5: that you had the next one, I think I could
- 12:10Speaker 5: have very much penciled that one in and felt like
- 12:12Speaker 5: that one is okay. You can you can feel all
- 12:15Speaker 5: right about that. You just got two against playoff there.
- 12:17Speaker 3: You're not gonna sit five starters the way Cleveland did. No,
- 12:19Speaker 3: so you're you're gonna be You're gonna be in for
- 12:21Speaker 3: one there. Uh.
- 12:22Speaker 5: The Bulls game when they've lost eleven straight, shown a
- 12:26Speaker 5: lot of signs of lifelessness, and all of a sudden
- 12:29Speaker 5: you just breathed something into them in the second half.
- 12:31Speaker 5: By as he said, not getting a shot up in
- 12:33Speaker 5: the fourth quarter, I mean.
- 12:35Speaker 3: That was that was painful, painful to.
- 12:38Speaker 5: Watch in that fourth We didn't get a shot out
- 12:41Speaker 5: every moment though. You kept I kept turning back and
- 12:43Speaker 5: being like, all right, now we go right where we
- 12:47Speaker 5: want them twenty three to three, being outscored in the
- 12:50Speaker 5: fourth quarter, but there's still six and a half minutes left.
- 12:53Speaker 7: Thought we were good at some point to turn it around.
- 12:55Speaker 7: I didn't think we'd end the whole time.
- 12:56Speaker 5: Then I saw Kyle Kuzmanna throw the pass of like
- 12:59Speaker 5: the it looked like he did a trick shot, so
- 13:04Speaker 5: I think it was Rollins in the corner. Yeah, and like, okay,
- 13:08Speaker 5: this turned into an NBA Street Volume two game pretty quickly.
- 13:11Speaker 5: This fourth quarter turned into a video game pretty quickly
- 13:14Speaker 5: that we're not going to be able to restart like
- 13:16Speaker 5: I would tend to want to do at this point.
- 13:19Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
- 13:19Speaker 7: It was a It was a tough It was a
- 13:21Speaker 7: tough scene, man, There's no question about it. Seeing that
- 13:24Speaker 7: happen then for me, like you mentioned, the market at
- 13:26Speaker 7: the ball game, not quality, so a big hearty kicks
- 13:29Speaker 7: to the balls for all basketball.
- 13:31Speaker 3: Luckily you didn't have to, Luckily you were on the
- 13:34Speaker 3: other side of the street. Yes, true, I'm glad I
- 13:36Speaker 3: didn't go to that one. So yeah, I don't game
- 13:43Speaker 3: ball to Marcus Howard.
- 13:45Speaker 7: Let fly, and he did when he was playing Marcus
- 13:48Speaker 7: Howard getting his number raised to the rafters.
- 13:51Speaker 3: You know, we talked about the game.
- 13:52Speaker 7: It wasn't the right one for him, but uh, the
- 13:55Speaker 7: great Marcus Howard returning to Marquette, one of the top
- 13:57Speaker 7: NC all time leading scores in general, getting his number
- 14:01Speaker 7: uh raised to the rafters.
- 14:03Speaker 3: So congrats. Pretty good? Yeah, yep, pretty good. Can I
- 14:07Speaker 3: give a kick to the balls to his pants though?
- 14:10Speaker 3: Ut out?
- 14:12Speaker 7: I know the trend now is like bag your pants.
- 14:14Speaker 7: I know that's the trend, like wide leg my man,
- 14:17Speaker 7: my man's pants, baggy. I'm like, I understand you're going
- 14:21Speaker 7: with the trends, and that's great, and Marcus, you're one
- 14:23Speaker 7: of the nicest guys ever and you're one of you're
- 14:25Speaker 7: one of the great scores.
- 14:26Speaker 3: In the market history.
- 14:27Speaker 7: But the pants, my man, I don't think we need
- 14:29Speaker 7: him that baggy. You look like you're wearing Zuba's out there.
- 14:32Speaker 7: But they were dressed ubas he had a suit on. Sure,
- 14:34Speaker 7: it just didn't look the suit. I'm sorry, fashion, sorry,
- 14:38Speaker 7: we were all we were doing skinny everything. We went
- 14:40Speaker 7: so quick, like right to the other extreme.
- 14:43Speaker 3: I like this extreme a lot better.
- 14:45Speaker 5: It's more comfortable, like this extreme, a lot better of
- 14:48Speaker 5: the super baggy than the super skin tight.
- 14:50Speaker 3: I don't need to see every.
- 14:52Speaker 6: Brother the pop stars Sawyer Utah. Yes, he rocks the
- 14:57Speaker 6: big old flarees the cool kids do now, I know,
- 15:00Speaker 6: I know.
- 15:01Speaker 3: So maybe Armond you need to catch up. Maybe I
- 15:04Speaker 3: need the kicks.
- 15:06Speaker 6: Maybe Armon needs some air monarchs. Some dockers go mall walking.
- 15:11Speaker 3: Brooks would be enough. I might go mall walking today.
- 15:14Speaker 3: You might have to listen, Drew.
- 15:15Speaker 5: The air Monarchs don't have enough support from a man
- 15:19Speaker 5: armed for the kind of pacing walks that he's firing
- 15:21Speaker 5: up here. Can we give a game ball to the
- 15:25Speaker 5: Pistons little Caesars Arena support staff, old baby. I know
- 15:30Speaker 5: you guys were watching on Friday night, Probably were enjoying
- 15:32Speaker 5: a Friday night, not involving, not invested in Pistons game.
- 15:37Speaker 5: Pistons Calves, which was delayed for an over thirteen minute
- 15:42Speaker 5: horn delay. Yeah, Jandy and Appleton brought it up and
- 15:46Speaker 5: jogged my memory as my wife and I were watching
- 15:48Speaker 5: the game without the sound on, trying to figure out
- 15:50Speaker 5: why everybody was was sitting there looking at each other,
- 15:53Speaker 5: and they kept going to commercial break. Then all of
- 15:55Speaker 5: a sudden on the lower third graphic it popped up
- 15:58Speaker 5: ten plus minute horned and they start panning the crowd
- 16:02Speaker 5: and seeing people plugging their ears. Kenny Atkinson just walking
- 16:05Speaker 5: over to the scorers table laughing at these poor people
- 16:08Speaker 5: trying to figure it out. And one poor son of
- 16:11Speaker 5: a who is standing there, and everybody keeps looking at
- 16:14Speaker 5: Scott being like, hey, you to figure this out. And
- 16:19Speaker 5: he is standing over this this board, guys where at
- 16:22Speaker 5: some point they just brought out two can airhorns and
- 16:25Speaker 5: that's how they played the rest of the game. He's
- 16:28Speaker 5: just hunched over this board. He's shaking his head. You
- 16:31Speaker 5: can tell they're yelling at him in the ear and
- 16:33Speaker 5: he's like, uhs, I don't know why you're yelling at me.
- 16:37Speaker 5: I don't know how to fix it. It's not helping.
- 16:40Speaker 5: And then finally somebody turned off just must have unplugged me.
- 16:44Speaker 5: Pull the backt at that point unplugged the thing. Man,
- 16:46Speaker 5: he stood up and by the grace of God, he
- 16:49Speaker 5: didn't fall right on his butt, because I thought he
- 16:51Speaker 5: was going to pass out from excitement the smile that
- 16:55Speaker 5: flared to this guy's face game ball to everybody being
- 16:58Speaker 5: able to figure it out and change that guy's night
- 17:01Speaker 5: because he went from worst to first Drew once they
- 17:04Speaker 5: finally turned that horn off.
- 17:06Speaker 3: JB.
- 17:07Speaker 5: Biker Staff's like, hey guys, the screen's not working. They're like, hey, Bob,
- 17:12Speaker 5: you got a lot bigger problems.
- 17:13Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
- 17:14Speaker 7: That's like I thought, seemed like because we've all been
- 17:18Speaker 7: that situation, you know, where you're trying to figure out
- 17:20Speaker 7: why and everyone's looking to you to figure out why.
- 17:22Speaker 7: On the board, like you said, Billy and my man
- 17:24Speaker 7: couldn't figure it out. It's also like the old the
- 17:27Speaker 7: running trope of the fire, this small detector that won't
- 17:30Speaker 7: turn off no matter what you do, like you you
- 17:32Speaker 7: you take it out, you unplug, you smash it, you
- 17:36Speaker 7: take it outside, you smash it. There was a whole
- 17:38Speaker 7: Friend's episode like that where they couldn't get the thing off.
- 17:41Speaker 7: I'm sure they thought to unplug the thing and plug
- 17:43Speaker 7: it back in, but it's annoying. Probably for the guy
- 17:45Speaker 7: when everyone's also thrown in the same suggestion, you know, like, man,
- 17:49Speaker 7: my head, I got a headache.
- 17:50Speaker 3: Did you try drinking water? Yeah? Thanks, my hands are
- 17:53Speaker 3: try Did you try lotion?
- 17:54Speaker 5: No?
- 17:54Speaker 3: I never thought of that. Thanks.
- 17:55Speaker 5: They just they isolate on this guy at courtside drew
- 17:58Speaker 5: for a good ninety seconds to three minutes and he
- 18:03Speaker 5: didn't move right. So what once it finally ended. I
- 18:06Speaker 5: knew it wasn't him because he's just sitting there and
- 18:09Speaker 5: just a sigh of relief. And the young lady that
- 18:11Speaker 5: came over to take over that must have been her chair,
- 18:14Speaker 5: She's like.
- 18:16Speaker 3: Well, I'm not going to touch anything.
- 18:19Speaker 5: She literally sits down, puts her hands behind her back,
- 18:22Speaker 5: and just watches the entire game. They're like, we're not
- 18:24Speaker 5: messing around with any more of this because we know
- 18:27Speaker 5: both of you guys are on back to back and
- 18:28Speaker 5: probably going to sit some guys tomorrow. So let's get
- 18:30Speaker 5: you guys out of the city and go get yourself
- 18:32Speaker 5: on your merry way.
- 18:33Speaker 6: By the way, game Balls of the Pistons, Yeah, they're
- 18:37Speaker 6: number one in the East. No one knows that any
- 18:39Speaker 6: of them. No one talks about him.
- 18:41Speaker 3: And they come back. Yes, quietly. They won a couple
- 18:43Speaker 3: in a row.
- 18:44Speaker 6: They're number one team in the East, and they're getting
- 18:46Speaker 6: no run, no buzz, No one cares.
- 18:48Speaker 5: And Kate Cunningham from somebody who was the number one
- 18:52Speaker 5: overall pick to MVP candidate the least amount of buzz
- 18:56Speaker 5: you've ever got doing it.
- 18:57Speaker 3: No one talks about him.
- 18:58Speaker 7: They had the unfortunate the occurrence of being the best
- 19:01Speaker 7: team in the regular season and an era where nobody
- 19:03Speaker 7: cares about the regular season in the NBA.
- 19:06Speaker 3: That's part of it.
- 19:08Speaker 7: Obviously, they're playing great this year and Kate has been
- 19:10Speaker 7: every bit the star they hoped he'd be when he
- 19:12Speaker 7: got drafted.
- 19:13Speaker 5: It is the regular season curse in the NBA, because
- 19:16Speaker 5: all anybody says when they do talk about the Pistons
- 19:18Speaker 5: Drew is yeah, I know, I don't believe it once
- 19:20Speaker 5: they get to the postseason, But look around the rest
- 19:23Speaker 5: of the East, I don't know that I believe in
- 19:24Speaker 5: anybody else.
- 19:25Speaker 6: A game ball Khanka Nipple for the rookie three point record.
- 19:30Speaker 6: He's letting it fly. Is he gonna be the Rookie
- 19:32Speaker 6: of the Year over Cooper flags seems that way. Cooper
- 19:34Speaker 6: Flagg's not playing for anything that the Hornets are playing, meaningfultball.
- 19:37Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a tough one. That's like if team success
- 19:40Speaker 5: kind of because Coopers still balling. He's been unbelievably con
- 19:46Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean he's flipped the he's flipped the
- 19:49Speaker 5: script too, where Cooper was like a minus ten thousand
- 19:51Speaker 5: favorite to win it, and now con is the betting fhase.
- 19:54Speaker 3: I think he's Yeah, I think he's overcoming.
- 19:57Speaker 7: I think what I should say, well, Conn has to
- 19:59Speaker 7: overcome is the idea that they want Cooper to win
- 20:01Speaker 7: the Rookie of the Year.
- 20:02Speaker 3: Don't you mean I think the league wants Cooper to
- 20:04Speaker 3: win it.
- 20:05Speaker 7: I think that that's like they wanted to, you know,
- 20:07Speaker 7: annoint him the Rookie of the Year. They wanted to
- 20:09Speaker 7: be his award. They want him to take over the league.
- 20:11Speaker 7: But cons just like, well, I'm not going to just
- 20:14Speaker 7: let you have it. I'm gonna come out and play
- 20:16Speaker 7: awesome every night and see what happens. So, but that's
- 20:18Speaker 7: the biggest thing he has to overcome is that narrative
- 20:20Speaker 7: probably of like, well it's Cooper, uh.
- 20:23Speaker 6: Is con Like what happens first he gets the Rookie
- 20:26Speaker 6: of the Year trophy or he impregnates an Instagram influencer.
- 20:34Speaker 3: Isn't that the way it goes in the NBA? You're
- 20:36Speaker 3: right around that time, generally.
- 20:37Speaker 5: In the in that wheelhouse. Generally that wheelhouse. Interesting that
- 20:41Speaker 5: they were. Were they college roommatesommates when they were? Because
- 20:46Speaker 5: I think they they like came to get When Con committed,
- 20:50Speaker 5: everyone's like, oh, he committed because Cooper Flag's on there,
- 20:53Speaker 5: and he's like.
- 20:54Speaker 3: They're boys. Yeah, No, I committed because I'm going to
- 20:56Speaker 3: go to Duke.
- 20:57Speaker 5: He's like, I committed because Con Kennippa wants to play
- 20:59Speaker 5: every like Arman's that. He's like, everybody thinks that it's Uh,
- 21:02Speaker 5: I just want to give it to Cooper Flag. He's like, yeah,
- 21:04Speaker 5: but I'm gonna be here too. I'm not gonna I'll
- 21:06Speaker 5: make it a little bit difficult on him, but uh,
- 21:08Speaker 5: probably probably still Instagram or do you think that there's
- 21:11Speaker 5: other areas are.
- 21:13Speaker 3: Yeah, probably that too.
- 21:14Speaker 6: Yeah, but that's easier to slide in the DMS and
- 21:17Speaker 6: it doesn't cost anything easier. Absolutely eight seven seven seven
- 21:23Speaker 6: nine seven three.
- 21:24Speaker 3: The seal is broken.
- 21:26Speaker 6: You are free to send us your game balls and
- 21:29Speaker 6: kicks to the balls. Oh we got plenty racked up
- 21:31Speaker 6: throughout the program, heavily loaded Holster.

- 21:39Speaker 6: Hall is gonna.

- 21:43Speaker 6: on our side of the building. Yeah that's true. Yeah,
- 21:45Speaker 6: closer to Thailand than we are, so he'll be safer
- 21:48Speaker 6: heading over here. Matt Lapey joins us. A little more
- 21:51Speaker 6: than an hour from right now, back from the West
- 21:53Speaker 6: coast trip with the Badgers.
- 21:55Speaker 3: One good one. One clunker who called that split? Somebody clumper.
- 22:00Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
- 22:01Speaker 6: We will discuss with the voice of the Badgers as
- 22:04Speaker 6: we move forward. It's the Huddle, Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
- 22:07Speaker 3: I'll let that fly.
- 22:16Speaker 6: Rolling through Monday and The Huddle, Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin
- 22:19Speaker 6: nine to twenty, Milwaukee, ten seventy, Madison, everywhere on the
- 22:22Speaker 6: iHeart app worldwide, on Facebook X and YouTube, and we
- 22:26Speaker 6: say hello to our Bloodhound, Scott Dolphin from the Country
- 22:30Speaker 6: Station down the Hall.
- 22:32Speaker 3: Thanks Drew.
- 22:33Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, little Gascar this morning in the building, and
- 22:37Speaker 8: it probably would have still been unattended us. The only
- 22:41Speaker 8: reason I smelled this because I come through that entrance
- 22:43Speaker 8: into the building. I think I'm the only one early
- 22:46Speaker 8: early morning that parks in that east parking lot here.
- 22:48Speaker 3: Thank goodness, somebody was doing it, yeah, I guess.
- 22:50Speaker 8: So apparently we had some service out here on Thursday
- 22:54Speaker 8: and they were trying to fix something up on our roof.
- 22:56Speaker 3: So it didn't work. I can't. So that was what
- 22:59Speaker 3: the noise was on Thursday.
- 23:01Speaker 7: That's the noise that Karen thought you was got it okay.
- 23:03Speaker 7: So that was another issue we had on Friday. Not
- 23:06Speaker 7: a serious one, but it was the thing.
- 23:08Speaker 5: I mean when I hear gas and we were hearing
- 23:10Speaker 5: noises here last week. Everything was on the table there,
- 23:12Speaker 5: there were thoughts that we were on the table.
- 23:14Speaker 3: I was definitely gonna see if we can find a
- 23:15Speaker 3: border something.
- 23:16Speaker 8: Well, you don't want to be the boy christ Wolf.
- 23:18Speaker 8: So I went back in and of course I get
- 23:19Speaker 8: Shannon and said, can you come over here and smell
- 23:21Speaker 8: this because this just might be in my head? And
- 23:23Speaker 8: then arm and we get arm intwo for a third opinion,
- 23:25Speaker 8: and right and.
- 23:27Speaker 3: And we could smell it. So shout out props to
- 23:30Speaker 3: the two we Energies trucks that rolled in. They did all.
- 23:34Speaker 8: The testing with their fancy equipment and it came back
- 23:36Speaker 8: to zero point zero zero.
- 23:38Speaker 3: We just have a gas smell in the building right now. Well,
- 23:40Speaker 3: like we said, someone left an egg salad sandwich their desk.
- 23:44Speaker 3: Maybe that's jokes, you know, it's not.
- 23:48Speaker 5: It's not like the Devil when I was in high
- 23:50Speaker 5: school that started to absolutely demon but a hilarious move
- 23:54Speaker 5: started going around on Fridays and wrapping the sensors around
- 23:57Speaker 5: the automated toilets to try to see if they're leave us.
- 24:00Speaker 3: That would have.
- 24:01Speaker 5: Been that again, demonic stuff.
- 24:05Speaker 3: That is nasty, nasty, nasty work.
- 24:07Speaker 5: Apparently this is actual work, not somebody saying I'm just
- 24:10Speaker 5: gonna leave this little bit of a fart bomb rolling
- 24:12Speaker 5: through here and just waft and.
- 24:14Speaker 3: See how anybody can get a little bit of sh.
- 24:17Speaker 7: I'm glad we're good, and I'm glad you uh you,
- 24:19Speaker 7: you were able to fully investigate that you are you
- 24:23Speaker 7: get a game ball to journalist, you get aciate and
- 24:27Speaker 7: some of the energies folks that came out, and I
- 24:29Speaker 7: think we we could give them a retroactive Hero of
- 24:32Speaker 7: the Day, even though you already did the Hero of
- 24:34Speaker 7: the day.
- 24:35Speaker 3: But we can do that, right I like that. Like that.
- 24:37Speaker 3: You don't hope we did do it. We didn't do it.
- 24:39Speaker 5: I don't know the show you were listening to that
- 24:41Speaker 5: we did. We're holding on to that, so maybe that
- 24:44Speaker 5: gas is affecting you.
- 24:47Speaker 3: This is a pretty good show. You should listen to
- 24:48Speaker 3: it sometimes listen.
- 24:50Speaker 5: There was gonna be no gast lead guys back in
- 24:52Speaker 5: this uh version or part of the building, because Armon
- 24:55Speaker 5: taking care of it, have no fear.
- 24:57Speaker 3: Already cracked the door over here.
- 24:59Speaker 5: So like he just put a he put an actual
- 25:02Speaker 5: traffic cone by the door, just to leave a little
- 25:05Speaker 5: bit over there. Don't worry it was it was wafting
- 25:08Speaker 5: out of here, guys. I was worried about other things
- 25:10Speaker 5: in the five o'clock hour. Okay, let's just put that.
- 25:12Speaker 8: My only concern with our doors be propped open, and
- 25:14Speaker 8: we propped open a couple other ones around the building
- 25:16Speaker 8: is I've driven in here at three thirty in the
- 25:18Speaker 8: morning and there's coyotes and raccoons and possums all over
- 25:21Speaker 8: this his neighborhood. So thinking are we gonna I'm we're
- 25:23Speaker 8: gonna walk in there and see a white tail buck
- 25:25Speaker 8: hanging out in the sails.
- 25:27Speaker 3: Wide open that I can deal with that.
- 25:29Speaker 6: That's when you gotta you really got to wake up
- 25:31Speaker 6: within two blocks of the megaplex because you run that gauntlet.
- 25:33Speaker 6: When I turned past the southwest, why oh yeah. And
- 25:36Speaker 6: then the deer hang out in the wooded area, and
- 25:38Speaker 6: then sometimes you see like four or five of them, like,
- 25:40Speaker 6: don't cross the street.
- 25:41Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't need the collision.
- 25:43Speaker 8: They're pretty street wise though, because they'll stand there and
- 25:45Speaker 8: wait for you, or you know, they'll slowly pass saying,
- 25:48Speaker 8: you're not taunting me.
- 25:49Speaker 3: Oh that's more than squirrels. I think they're definitely taunting me.
- 25:52Speaker 3: I think they are too. Yeah. Absolutely, it's like.
- 25:54Speaker 5: The squirrels through that just taps his foot like right
- 25:56Speaker 5: out there, say hey, I could mess with you a
- 25:58Speaker 5: little bit. I'll see, I'll see if I can get
- 26:00Speaker 5: you to swerve. I'm gonna try this thing out of
- 26:02Speaker 5: little thought.
- 26:02Speaker 6: We had to deal with the squirrels, right, So, Dolph,
- 26:06Speaker 6: we're kind of at low tide in sports. The combine
- 26:08Speaker 6: is over that when the Packers don't have a first
- 26:11Speaker 6: round pick, it lost lost some juice.
- 26:13Speaker 8: There any chance of them moving up into the first
- 26:15Speaker 8: round good, He said, it's possible. He'd never counted U.
- 26:18Speaker 3: Yeah, it's always possible.
- 26:20Speaker 5: I think it's gonna take too much, but I could
- 26:22Speaker 5: end up going in the second.
- 26:23Speaker 6: I don't think there's just enough attractive talent at the
- 26:25Speaker 6: top of this draft where you're better off.
- 26:27Speaker 3: I think there'd be more teams moving down than up.
- 26:29Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm with you on that, because there's just not
- 26:31Speaker 5: the don that you usually move up for the frontline
- 26:34Speaker 5: players and the premier spots right tackle, and there might
- 26:38Speaker 5: be maybe there's a round on tackling. A team goes
- 26:40Speaker 5: up and jumps quarterback always is gonna have people going,
- 26:43Speaker 5: and it's Mendoza and just about everybody else there. But
- 26:45Speaker 5: there are a bunch of wide receivers, and there's a
- 26:47Speaker 5: bunch of players and positions that usually aren't highly sought after.
- 26:52Speaker 5: Packers also got a decent amount of holes that they're
- 26:54Speaker 5: gonna want to be able to try to plug with
- 26:55Speaker 5: as many of those picks as they still potentially could happen.
- 26:58Speaker 3: But we get for I have boys, Yeah, but look
- 27:01Speaker 3: for Iowa. Just leave the Iowa boys alone.
- 27:04Speaker 8: Would you know I met in the combine they were
- 27:07Speaker 8: JS Dunker and his mullet.
- 27:09Speaker 3: He was good. He's a mountain man.
- 27:11Speaker 5: My man Jones was moving Their center ran a four
- 27:14Speaker 5: to nine one.
- 27:16Speaker 3: Human beings are not supposed to run that.
- 27:18Speaker 8: He's a road grader and he's he was clearly the
- 27:20Speaker 8: leader of that Iowa football team for the last couple
- 27:23Speaker 8: of years.
- 27:23Speaker 3: Also a wrestler. Billy.
- 27:25Speaker 8: You know, they make good football players, they make good
- 27:26Speaker 8: offensive linemen.
- 27:27Speaker 3: And good centers. Jones is that's the name.
- 27:30Speaker 5: That's the name to start keeping keeping an eye on,
- 27:33Speaker 5: because if they're going to go and try to identify somebody,
- 27:35Speaker 5: they could come in and start day one.
- 27:37Speaker 3: He feels like one of those guys. I just feel the.
- 27:39Speaker 8: Packers lean on on that Iowa pipeline too much.
- 27:44Speaker 5: Oh they do they Maybe it's just me as Iowa fan.
- 27:46Speaker 5: I don't Oh you don't like seeing you don't like
- 27:49Speaker 5: why not? Because they haven't shown out very well here
- 27:52Speaker 5: outside of my.
- 27:55Speaker 6: I was gonna say, you're still scarred by Abdulla Hodge,
- 27:59Speaker 6: Bill Hodge.
- 27:59Speaker 8: Yet Bill's back at Iowa now on the staff. But
- 28:02Speaker 8: you know they've been more hits than misses. I mean,
- 28:04Speaker 8: Micah High, Brian Blaga, you know.
- 28:08Speaker 5: You know, I mean everyone's gonna attach Alvin over there
- 28:11Speaker 5: right now.
- 28:11Speaker 3: Well LB.
- 28:12Speaker 5: Yeah, But he showed some stuff at the end of
- 28:14Speaker 5: the year. I was also saying, listen, it's Josh Jackson Iowa.
- 28:17Speaker 5: Probably not such a big Josh Jackson. Not as good
- 28:19Speaker 5: a one, not as good a one to remember.
- 28:21Speaker 7: You remember Dominic Daphney, Oh yeah, he was the Packers,
- 28:25Speaker 7: you know, one of their kind of backup tight.
- 28:28Speaker 3: Aaron Camptman. Solid. Who's the kid from Iola?
- 28:31Speaker 8: Uh, Christian Christian Welch, solid player at Iowa.
- 28:35Speaker 3: Kid the special teams.
- 28:36Speaker 8: Yeah, those those Niemen boys, there's two of them in
- 28:39Speaker 8: the NFL, both coaches kids, really smart, really good athletes.
- 28:44Speaker 5: Well and listen, Dolfa, we wanted to tap into the
- 28:46Speaker 5: Iowa pipeline one more time. They didn't do it. That
- 28:50Speaker 5: guy I want to get to get six in the
- 28:51Speaker 5: Super Bowl. So like it's it's the wrong ones. Just
- 28:55Speaker 5: like in the Georgia tree, the Packers have identified They're like,
- 28:58Speaker 5: we like guys from Georgia. However, they maybe haven't necessarily
- 29:02Speaker 5: drafted the best player from Georgia at that position each
- 29:05Speaker 5: and every time.
- 29:06Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I guess you can't go wrong with
- 29:08Speaker 8: SEC athletes right from Alabama or Georgia.
- 29:11Speaker 3: You know, it's always such a crapshoot.
- 29:12Speaker 8: You think you got can't miss guys, and there's no
- 29:15Speaker 8: there's no patience in the NFL anymore, especially at the
- 29:17Speaker 8: skill position. If you're not good, you might be done
- 29:19Speaker 8: after a year, right, It's very true.
- 29:21Speaker 3: True.
- 29:22Speaker 8: Look at the Falcons and when it comes to you know,
- 29:24Speaker 8: skilled players and quarterback Desmond Ritter and yeah, and and
- 29:29Speaker 8: the list.
- 29:30Speaker 3: Goes on and on at QB for.
- 29:31Speaker 5: Them and potentially gonna have to go with another guy
- 29:33Speaker 5: because I don't necessarily know the penix is going to
- 29:35Speaker 5: be that great, but like you start looking at it
- 29:36Speaker 5: for why teams identify certain programs. I was one of
- 29:40Speaker 5: the only ones though that hasn't completely flipped in this
- 29:43Speaker 5: world of nil and transfer portal. They're still developing players.
- 29:47Speaker 5: They're identifying guys that want to get better and want
- 29:50Speaker 5: to get to the next level.
- 29:51Speaker 3: We're still doing the West Coast Pro style offenses.
- 29:53Speaker 5: When when you start talking about trying to figure out
- 29:55Speaker 5: the we gotta find guys all of football. We're finding
- 29:58Speaker 5: guys that love football. Go to Iowa and you're not
- 30:01Speaker 5: going to play for the amount of cash that you
- 30:03Speaker 5: necessarily be playing elsewhere in the Big Ten. It's an
- 30:05Speaker 5: identifier that the guy might really really love football, he
- 30:07Speaker 5: wants to get better.
- 30:08Speaker 8: If you look at their nail players. For the most part,
- 30:10Speaker 8: they have some power five guys coming in. For the
- 30:12Speaker 8: most part, they're going to the South Dakota States of
- 30:15Speaker 8: the world, the North Dakota States of the world. James
- 30:18Speaker 8: Madison that level of play, which James Madison was a
- 30:21Speaker 8: playoff team this year. But you're not going to see
- 30:23Speaker 8: them getting you know, poaching guys from Alabama or USC.
- 30:26Speaker 6: Yeah, guys that are elevating. Is the Big Ten paying
- 30:28Speaker 6: more money now because it's a better league than the
- 30:30Speaker 6: SEC top to bottom? Well, I think are they paying more?
- 30:33Speaker 6: People didn't like Saban's joke, but I thought there was
- 30:35Speaker 6: something to it. He goes the Big Ten is going
- 30:37Speaker 6: to be aided the most because the only way you
- 30:38Speaker 6: can get people from the South to come to the
- 30:40Speaker 6: North is paying.
- 30:41Speaker 3: Them probably kinda not lying. I think there's some definite
- 30:45Speaker 3: truth to it.
- 30:46Speaker 7: You know, there's also natural variants in these these conferences.
- 30:50Speaker 7: You know, there's cycles up and down as well, and
- 30:52Speaker 7: when the Big Ten expans the way they do, you're
- 30:54Speaker 7: gonna have more good teams and more dregs. But they
- 30:56Speaker 7: you know, when you get Oregon, it's pretty easy to say, hey,
- 30:59Speaker 7: we're all of a sudden good as well, you didn't
- 31:01Speaker 7: get a team like Oregon, I should say.
- 31:02Speaker 3: That raises your stock.
- 31:04Speaker 7: I think that's part of it. And as you see,
- 31:05Speaker 7: had the same situation when like you know, a m
- 31:07Speaker 7: gaming and something like that.
- 31:08Speaker 3: But but did I read this right?
- 31:09Speaker 8: And there's there could be forty million dollars rosters this
- 31:13Speaker 8: year in college football, and Indiana's going to be right
- 31:15Speaker 8: towards the top of the way.
- 31:16Speaker 7: People want to win and if you can and if
- 31:18Speaker 7: you have an unlimited like you know, there's no sounds,
- 31:21Speaker 7: there's no rules. It's an infinite amount of money that
- 31:24Speaker 7: that that boosters and programs can pay to these guys
- 31:27Speaker 7: to help their team win.
- 31:28Speaker 3: They're gonna do it. They're gonna try.
- 31:29Speaker 7: And do it and and and and the rising tite
- 31:31Speaker 7: will keep lifting for everybody.
- 31:33Speaker 3: You know, there's a big stick.
- 31:34Speaker 8: When that G League guy went down to play for
- 31:36Speaker 8: was it was it l He said, I'm like the
- 31:39Speaker 8: sixth highest paid guy in the roster. What are you
- 31:41Speaker 8: talking about?
- 31:42Speaker 3: Right right?
- 31:42Speaker 7: And Buzz got one in Maryland too. It's just the
- 31:44Speaker 7: way it is. I mean, until the until he put
- 31:47Speaker 7: some sort of rule on it. And I don't know
- 31:48Speaker 7: what they're gonna do. I think there was gonna be.
- 31:50Speaker 5: A go there's gonna be a clearing house, and there's
- 31:52Speaker 5: gonna be a way that you're gonna have to be
- 31:54Speaker 5: able to get it cleared as to this money is
- 31:56Speaker 5: actually being paid for your name, image and likeness, and
- 31:58Speaker 5: there's gonna be followed through. There's not gonna They're trying
- 32:00Speaker 5: to cut out the Kawhi Leonard situations.
- 32:02Speaker 3: But we'll see if it actually happens.
- 32:04Speaker 5: But there's this is the test you talk about with
- 32:08Speaker 5: the combine of understanding the players. These are new players
- 32:12Speaker 5: that now have money in their pockets. Before, when you
- 32:15Speaker 5: were drafting a guy, you had to try to guess
- 32:18Speaker 5: how is he going to be with a certain amount
- 32:20Speaker 5: of money in his pocket?
- 32:21Speaker 3: A great point.
- 32:21Speaker 5: Now there's a bunch of players who are taking pay
- 32:23Speaker 5: cuts going to the NFL. So I have a pretty
- 32:25Speaker 5: good understanding of this guy's production slipped after his sophomore
- 32:30Speaker 5: year when he transferred to Old miss and we know
- 32:32Speaker 5: that he definitely got a bag there.
- 32:33Speaker 3: So maybe that's gonna happen when we get here.
- 32:36Speaker 5: It's almost like training wheels for once you get into
- 32:38Speaker 5: the NFL.
- 32:39Speaker 3: Does that eliminate the wonderlick test?
- 32:41Speaker 8: Now they don't really need to get into their head
- 32:42Speaker 8: much anymore because it's all based on money.
- 32:46Speaker 3: Looking if you're on the scale of one to broke.
- 32:49Speaker 5: Yeah, are you going to be at the next documentary
- 32:51Speaker 5: is where there's going to start putting the benchmark at.
- 32:54Speaker 3: That's about where they're at. It's a question.
- 32:55Speaker 7: I mean, you something identify the right guys though you
- 32:57Speaker 7: can't just throw money to everyone because everyone's throwing money
- 33:00Speaker 7: and in theory to still identify the right players, the
- 33:03Speaker 7: right talent and still about player value.
- 33:04Speaker 3: It my big question for you. Armand Shaka. Yeah, they're
- 33:07Speaker 3: going back. Does he dive into the portal big time?
- 33:09Speaker 7: They pretty much have said they're gonna do it. I
- 33:11Speaker 7: mean he said he's gonna do it. I mean that's
- 33:13Speaker 7: the thing. You know, fans can get frustrated about the
- 33:16Speaker 7: way college football or college sports is going.
- 33:19Speaker 5: You know, the culture. We don't like it, we don't
- 33:21Speaker 5: want it. That's all paper play the solo college sports. That's
- 33:23Speaker 5: all well and good.
- 33:24Speaker 7: Principle is all well and good, but but you you
- 33:26Speaker 7: will abandon those principles if your team's not winning.
- 33:28Speaker 3: If your team scores four halftime.
- 33:30Speaker 7: And the reality is, we saw, yes, yes, and we
- 33:32Speaker 7: saw that Marquette with one more loss is going to
- 33:34Speaker 7: have the only the second twenty loss season in program history.
- 33:38Speaker 7: It's been an absolutely awful year, and fans just don't
- 33:41Speaker 7: want to sustain losing like they don't want to deal
- 33:43Speaker 7: with losing like that. We care about winning, and that's
- 33:45Speaker 7: the reality of every fan of every program. So principals
- 33:48Speaker 7: are all well and good standards for a program are
- 33:50Speaker 7: all well and good as long as you're still winning.
- 33:51Speaker 3: But it only took one year.
- 33:53Speaker 5: Are Marquette fans telling themselves that or is there a
- 33:55Speaker 5: little bit of conflict.
- 33:56Speaker 3: In the in the fan base.
- 33:58Speaker 7: I would say most Marquette fans are on board, saying, no,
- 34:01Speaker 7: we have to go to the portal. We have to
- 34:03Speaker 7: we have to adjust with the changing tides of college
- 34:05Speaker 7: basketball and and make this thing work because we can't
- 34:08Speaker 7: lose like this. You know, it's one thing to not
- 34:10Speaker 7: have a great winning year, but they'll be this bad
- 34:12Speaker 7: is you know, you know, you know, it's a proud
- 34:15Speaker 7: fan base. They don't want to do they can't get
- 34:16Speaker 7: swip by the paul are you kidding me?
- 34:18Speaker 3: Twice? We lost in a Paulus here. That's unconscionable, man,
- 34:22Speaker 3: it really is.
- 34:24Speaker 7: But I will say this and Billy Billy laughed at
- 34:27Speaker 7: me last week because I was trying to get shot
- 34:29Speaker 7: in some credits.
- 34:30Speaker 3: Like at least they tried give him some credit for saying,
- 34:32Speaker 3: you know what, we were wrong.
- 34:32Speaker 7: We're gonna, we're gonna, We're gonna have to start paying
- 34:34Speaker 7: money to people. But they do have a young foundation
- 34:37Speaker 7: of bad Nigel and Adrian our young guards.
- 34:40Speaker 3: You keep them together. You got something cooking there maybe
- 34:43Speaker 3: and you can get a couple. That's that's the number
- 34:46Speaker 3: one thing. That's the problem. That's what you're worried about
- 34:48Speaker 3: right now. But but they should have money to spend
- 34:51Speaker 3: on them.
- 34:51Speaker 7: So this is where it matters, the relationship building, right
- 34:54Speaker 7: because okay, money matters, yes, but if everyone's gonna pay money,
- 34:59Speaker 7: then this relationship ship has to be the the you know,
- 35:01Speaker 7: the tipper to help you say, Okay, I'm gonna stick.
- 35:03Speaker 3: I'm gonna stick with this program. Even though he struggled
- 35:06Speaker 3: last year. The money is the same.
- 35:07Speaker 5: Sometimes all you need is just the tip, just that
- 35:09Speaker 5: little bit to get it over the edge and stay
- 35:11Speaker 5: where you're at, then go somewhere and pause.
- 35:13Speaker 3: It's funny you did there.
- 35:15Speaker 6: I can't slip one by the goalie like that. But
- 35:19Speaker 6: the unconscionable when Norman says that about to Paul, don't
- 35:22Speaker 6: Packers fans have to say that about Dolphs Bears the
- 35:25Speaker 6: same situation twice, the situation twice to him in five weeks.
- 35:28Speaker 3: I'm conscient.
- 35:29Speaker 7: Only difference is when you've been dominating team for decades,
- 35:32Speaker 7: like Marquette has it a Paul and the Packers had
- 35:34Speaker 7: to the Bears at least the Paul fans i't been
- 35:36Speaker 7: here and your tripping that because they know their place still.
- 35:38Speaker 3: Okay. The difference is Bear fans, well, they're not selling
- 35:42Speaker 3: conference champions tee. We own you now, we own you
- 35:45Speaker 3: that I guess true. The Bears have much better. He
- 35:47Speaker 3: hasn't been good since early in the Joey Meyer you know.
- 35:50Speaker 8: They haven't been They had some turney appearances under Dave Lado,
- 35:53Speaker 8: didn't they did?
- 35:53Speaker 3: They go to the n C turnament samm and me
- 35:56Speaker 3: and Drelian Burns and like old here the twenty year senior.
- 35:59Speaker 5: Yeah that's right, Max, Max Struce Strews was. They were
- 36:03Speaker 5: bad team, but Strews was was a good player.
- 36:06Speaker 3: They had some guys. I understand that. Enough about the
- 36:08Speaker 3: Paul bas listen, I'd love to see that place. It
- 36:12Speaker 3: looks nice on TV that ran down there. I've been there.
- 36:14Speaker 3: It's not that right, So I have to ask.
- 36:16Speaker 7: It's not sorry, it's new, but I have to ask
- 36:20Speaker 7: because somebody there the teams think.
- 36:22Speaker 3: Shameless plugged him.
- 36:23Speaker 6: I have to ask, is your bear fans sensibility is
- 36:27Speaker 6: offended by what I said on Big twelve Sports Saturday
- 36:29Speaker 6: this weekend. It was the last time we'll probably address
- 36:31Speaker 6: the the Olympics, right because the Saturday show the Olympic,
- 36:34Speaker 6: doesn't it seem like a month ago that the Metal
- 36:36Speaker 6: Game good eight days ago. I was asked about that,
- 36:40Speaker 6: and I said, you know, I was asked for the
- 36:42Speaker 6: It was a layup question. It was like, what's the
- 36:44Speaker 6: what was the best moment of the Olympics. Well, you
- 36:46Speaker 6: asked men's hockey first, women's hockey second, and then maybe
- 36:49Speaker 6: Alyssa lou or Jordan Stoles or whoever you want there
- 36:52Speaker 6: because we don't care about Norway winning gold medals. But
- 36:54Speaker 6: I did use the analogy that the US Hockey game,
- 36:58Speaker 6: the gold medal game against Canada minded me of the
- 37:01Speaker 6: two games that the Bears Packers. That's dead on actually,
- 37:04Speaker 6: because one team dominated play did throughout most of regulation,
- 37:08Speaker 6: and then there was a bit of a Fluca confluence.
- 37:10Speaker 6: Canada was without Sydney Crosby, Packers didn't have Micah Parsons,
- 37:14Speaker 6: and it got to overtime and it got to the
- 37:16Speaker 6: crapshoot thing.
- 37:17Speaker 3: And if they played that game ten times, Canada wins eight, yeah,
- 37:21Speaker 3: if not eight and a half.
- 37:23Speaker 6: And it was kind of all three Bears Packers games
- 37:25Speaker 6: drew where green Bay dominated for at least two and
- 37:29Speaker 6: a half quarters and going into it, and the two
- 37:31Speaker 6: in Chicago going into the fourth quarter there and Keishan
- 37:34Speaker 6: had the pick to save the game of the Packers won,
- 37:36Speaker 6: so it could have been a loss. But you look
- 37:39Speaker 6: at the totality of play, yeah, and you ask yourself, well,
- 37:42Speaker 6: who was the better team Canada green Bay.
- 37:45Speaker 3: Sure, it just didn't happen, It didn't work. That's that's
- 37:47Speaker 3: a good analogy.
- 37:48Speaker 8: That's yeah. So I thought it was logical. I was
- 37:51Speaker 8: some smoke. I'm not offended by that at all. I mean,
- 37:53Speaker 8: I'm you're dead, dead on. I'm pretty analytical with that
- 37:55Speaker 8: type of stuff. By the way, speaking of USA hockey,
- 37:57Speaker 8: I finally got around in Netflix to watch in The Miracle,
- 38:00Speaker 8: uh documentary of the Fantastic All these guys go back
- 38:04Speaker 8: to Lake Placid, which is a town of like two
- 38:06Speaker 8: thousand people. It guys, it's really good Mark Johnson. Uh,
- 38:12Speaker 8: I had no idea how good he was usual that
- 38:16Speaker 8: they called him magic. They just get it to get
- 38:19Speaker 8: to puck the magic because he's.
- 38:21Speaker 3: Yeah, he was the most underappreciated guy on that team.
- 38:23Speaker 3: True score every game he's scoring goals. But do the
- 38:25Speaker 3: needs a statue in this world?
- 38:27Speaker 7: There was an idea that they didn't have a lot
- 38:28Speaker 7: of stars, and I know they were the team and
- 38:30Speaker 7: a ROUSI he was a captain, they said, but we
- 38:32Speaker 7: needed a goal. We said, okay, Mark, let's go, let's
- 38:34Speaker 7: get one. Like that was the He was their score.
- 38:36Speaker 7: He was their best player. But the biggest part of
- 38:37Speaker 7: that story was, of course, was Herb Brooks.
- 38:39Speaker 8: And none of these guys could get close to him,
- 38:40Speaker 8: and they didn't like him at all. They respected him,
- 38:44Speaker 8: but they were not fans of Herb Brooks and his
- 38:47Speaker 8: style of coaching. Now, afterwards, he said I did it
- 38:49Speaker 8: for a reason, and obviously that reason paid off. It worked,
- 38:52Speaker 8: but he was surly. They called them Herbies, the suicides,
- 38:56Speaker 8: back and forth. Yeah, the gassers. They had to do
- 38:58Speaker 8: Herbie's NonStop. Watch that and then maybe tune into heated rivalry. Yeah,
- 39:04Speaker 8: tap around and.
- 39:07Speaker 3: Alright, you watched it. Okay. I can't fall asleep because
- 39:09Speaker 3: we don't. We can't stay up anymore. But I watched her.
- 39:13Speaker 6: Hey, Dolph, think comfarable, Dolph, thanks for thanks for joining
- 39:17Speaker 6: us today and thanks for being alert and uh the hill.
- 39:20Speaker 3: Das all right, I need to put on my my
- 39:23Speaker 3: helmet or something. You need to buy a box of
- 39:25Speaker 3: glazers for the engineer that you woke up to. We
- 39:28Speaker 3: can do that. Should buy a dolphin. We should be glazing, Dolph.
- 39:32Speaker 3: That's true, that's true. Appreciate it all right. It's a
- 39:35Speaker 3: game balls and kicks and balls Monday. It's the huddle.
