Episode 5.50: What World Do We Live In · Return to Glory - Nebraska

0:17
So the Glory Podcast. It's March March Madness season is here, one of
0:26
the best times of the year in my opinion. But then we get hit
0:29
with some news today, gentlemen, not so good news here with athletics.
0:39
Oh really, Dak, I believe your exact words were emergency two part pod
0:46
question Mark. Oh, I won the second part of the NFL free agency
0:50
that I can go on for hours about that. See see how long we
0:55
can go. We'll just let you talk with NFL free agency. Go ahead,
0:59
okay, you know But Saturday, I was sitting there and I said,
1:03
if the Vikings don't sign Kirk Cousins, I'll be fine. If they
1:06
let him, or if they sign him, I'll be fine. They let
1:07
him go, I'll be fine. You know what. They didn't sign him.
1:11
I was like, okay, this is all right. Saving money.
1:12
Guess do we get Sam Donald? Are you shitting me? And what I'm
1:19
reading this? They want to roll with him. They think they's given me
1:22
the He's mere a quarterback. So in other words, you're not fine.
1:26
No, we're not. I would pay I'd cut on my fingers off for
1:30
Kirk Cousins. Are right now. If I watched Sam Donald. I swear
1:34
to God give me Jeff Sims good God, Wow, I'd swallow that or
1:42
hurry. That's the biggest skimp. Ten million dollars for that guy over number
1:49
one overall pick or no, he was number two. I think I think
1:56
he went too. He was up there because I got him on my fantasy
2:00
my dynasty team and I dropped him. And what was his first pass in
2:06
the NFL? Guess an interception fix six Dak. How are your other sports
2:15
teams doing? You know, Oklahoma loss today, you're still with you?
2:19
You got your Celtics shirt on. How are they doing? They're good After
2:24
the world burned down after two losses, they're doing a lot better now.
2:30
When they lose, it's like the biggest the whole world just ships on them.
2:34
It's it's like a super Bowl when they lose. But you know what,
2:38
they're back stumped out by Dean Wade in the fourth quarter. It's kind
2:44
of a nerving like, I don't know any way, what else? What
2:50
else you got? First act? You just how's how's everything going in your
2:53
sports world? Celtics are still gonna win it all. I'll go on back,
3:00
well if they may. I don't want to make tournament. Good god,
3:02
they suck. They somehow pulled out a winningain Cincinnati. I don't know
3:07
how. And that's the longer as not gonna make it. They would have
3:09
lost that. I think they probably have been out. They should have lost
3:13
it. Are still here's yes, they're offense awful, and here's good news.
3:22
Porter Moses going to Paul, and that's good news for you. That's
3:28
that's almost confirm. Yes, I don't want that guy, but yeah,
3:34
that's that. That's about it, thank god. Go to Paul three and
3:37
three and twenty sixteen. And how are your twins going to do this year?
3:45
Well, they they went cheap. You're a billionaire owner, you go
3:49
cheap. I mean they'll be all right. Their division sucks. Would you
3:54
say, are all owners billionaires? How many are non billionaire owners out there?
4:00
This guy just goes cheap. I hate him. I can't eve think
4:02
what his name is, honestly, but I hate him. And they're gonna
4:05
be They'll make the playoffs because their division sucks. That's about their story.
4:14
So yeah, it's it's all going good. See in June when I'm on
4:17
the parade, I I just want you to keep talking about your life.
4:21
So we want to talk about the US. Oh, I see, I
4:26
see what you're no one to see how long you could go? It's pretty
4:30
entertaining life. I was one. I was wondering, know what happened to
4:34
oscars today? Well, I don't know. You tell us, I think
4:41
some oil money came into somebody. Yeah, I don't know. I mean
4:46
that so I don't think that's the case. I don't that That's what some
4:53
people think, is that A and M bought out Trev and paid him.
4:59
Well, they did do that, well they did, they did do that,
5:01
But I don't think that's the reason that he left. No, it
5:05
was the money that enticed him away. The rumors around the internet is the
5:13
Board of Regents and Governor Pillen, we're not all on board with Trev's vision.
5:18
There's there there's something going on. I don't. I don't know what
5:23
that is. I don't. I don't know that this will be the last
5:27
we will hear a bit. I will say that I think there may be
5:30
some more stuff coming. I don't. I don't know that. I don't
5:35
have any inside source, but I just have a feeling that there's more things
5:42
that will be coming out here around trev Albert's departure today. It happened pretty
5:47
quick and pretty unexpected, very unexpected, and I don't think it's a good
5:56
look for Puskar athletics at all or the university in general, and university is
6:03
just a farm program. Now our president Texas a and m takes our a
6:09
d a chancellor retire or it just it it's not good right now. And
6:16
I think a lot of the things that I've been seeing it is much much
6:20
bigger than sports, and and it's more politics. It's more that's what the
6:30
buzz is the board and the governor when Tom more conservative leadership at the university
6:35
because they feel it's leaning to liberal as far as an education institution. And
6:41
that's why you're seeing all these leaders bounce because they're tired of the board and
6:45
the governor telling them what to do. That's the rumor. I can't attest
6:48
to it either way. I want to see this contract is that's that's the
6:53
main thing. I want to see how much he got paid. We get
6:57
Austin in my takes over here at all worried about the money, that's all
7:00
he cares about. Well, that'll that'll explain. If he didn't get like
7:06
a shitload of money. Then something was up. He will. He will,
7:11
though, like I don't think that's the question. He's he's going to
7:14
get paid more. I'm not going to say it's drastically more, but it
7:18
it definitely, I don't think is the not say definitely, but I do
7:23
not think that is the sole reason that he's leaving a job. So I
7:29
didn't want to do this. Do this with you, with us young adults
7:32
here on the podcast, and do some brainstormer here, Dak this is right
7:38
right down your rally. So, but when when you're at a job,
7:42
you're working anywhere any industry, could be part time, full time, what
7:49
are certain reasons why you would leave dick head boss. Okay, it's a
7:59
good answer. I would say, pays one. If some other jobs need
8:03
to pay substantially more than your current job. Yep, hey, Bob hours,
8:11
your hours are shitty. What else? Austin looking at it again into
8:18
a more challenging position. You want to you want you want to grow yourself
8:26
as as an individual. Another one, I think is just the actual substance
8:31
of the work that you're doing, and then in conjunction with that, the
8:37
people that you're around you don't get along with or you don't share the same
8:43
views. What else, anything else you can think of? That's all I
8:48
got. Closer to family, you know. If you're looking to move,
8:56
Yeah, location, location. How about here's my hot take number one.
9:05
So I told these guys. I told these guys that we're just going to
9:09
bring a couple of hot takes. How About you left your job because you
9:13
know you're in some sort of trouble. Yeah, And again I'm not saying
9:22
that it's for sure happened or I know anything, but I just have a
9:26
hunch. And my hot take is that something went down at the university that
9:31
did not go through with whether it be breaking the law but maybe ethical,
9:39
and that I think could tie into what we were saying a little bit earlier.
9:43
But I am wondering if something happened with the whole situation there that caused
9:52
tried to say, I don't want to find out what the result of this
9:54
is going to be while I'm at the university and put myself in jeopardy of
9:58
getting fired because of something that I did. So he decided to go somewhere
10:03
else and start searching. Now, one thing that came to mind when I
10:07
thought of that that I am now kind of going away from is the Paul
10:13
Ashley Scoggin lawsuit against Amy Williams and and then Trev. Like my my initial
10:18
first reaction was, oh boy, like, that's got some sort of substance
10:22
and and again not saying that it was illegal, but maybe the lawyers think
10:28
they have something on that, and it's going to come down to costing the
10:33
university and or Trev and Amy like a significant amount of resources. So he's
10:41
getting program is the one that would break the back? I don't, yeah,
10:46
And that's why I'm leaning away from that. I'm wondering if there's something
10:48
else though. My first hot take is that there's Trev got in some trouble.
10:54
For as much as we all like Trev and and how well of a
11:00
job he's done, I just think he might have gotten in trouble for this
11:03
all to happen so suddenly, especially with the way he's talks. And I
11:09
know people's minds can change, but it's not the money that's pulling them away.
11:13
Something happened, And whether we will ever get insights into that information or
11:20
not, I don't know, But that's my first hot take. Treve's in
11:22
trouble. That is hot. I don't know, that's quick. It was
11:26
quick. I think it's bad boss. That's what I'm leaning. I'm buying
11:31
the online chatter, the fact that we don't have a president and we lost
11:37
our president last fall, so I guess dive into that a little more.
11:41
I think some people understand and I don't. I mean, I think I
11:46
kind of understand how a university works, but explain that, like what you
11:50
mean by bad boss. So typically the athletic director report to the chancellor and
11:58
president. Correct, well, right now, there is no president. There's
12:01
an interim president who is basically just an extension of the Board of Regents,
12:07
which is also heavily influenced by the governor. And so really Truss been reporting
12:11
to the Board of Regents and the governor. And I'm gonna guess that something
12:18
happened there that he was getting pissed off off, pissed off about I don't
12:22
know what, and that's why he was like, He's like, you know
12:26
what, Texas and him called me, fuck it, I'm there, you
12:30
go, and I'll go to the weird those weirdos. Because also there is
12:35
a there is a leaked message that he sent to the staff. I was
12:39
like, hey, sorry, I could do this the proper way. He
12:41
could do it in person. It's been great working with you, blah blah.
12:43
So that makes you know that it wasn't like a I've been thinking long
12:46
about this. We're leaving on good terms. You know, they're letting me
12:50
talk to everyone. It's hey, you're out the fucking building. He didn't
12:54
give it two week notes, that's for sure. Yes, And Truy's done
12:58
a good job. Right, so for another Power five type conference, it
13:03
should say power to one of the SEC or Big ten programs to come calling.
13:09
Is not a surprise because Treuv has done a really good job. I'm
13:13
and produced some coaches and some leadership here Nebraska that I think has has helped
13:18
our athletics. So I like to think of it, just to follow up
13:26
with what Austin said too, is like your border of regents. Like think
13:28
of it as your It's not completely apples to apples, but a board of
13:33
directors for a large organization where they may not be you know, direct members
13:41
of the institution, but they are. They are your board. They are
13:43
the ones making the decisions for the university. The organization as a whole,
13:50
and yes, those are those regents are elected and have direct political ties through
13:56
the government. So there's a lot of messy stuff going on there, and
14:03
I mean it's unfortunate that people like that have that much power and are able
14:09
to think in such a way to piss someone like trev Alberts off that much
14:13
to where he would want to leave potentially, Oh what a bummer. Though
14:22
Trump was good as back. You think it's the money. You still think
14:24
it's the money. No, I'm not. That's what I'm leaning towards.
14:31
But see, I didn't I've been reading like all this stuff people about saying
14:37
about how something else going on in the university. I didn't know what it
14:39
was. To you guys said that, and I could see I could see
14:45
that if they're that stuck up the border agents, I could see him saying
14:48
through this, I'm dipping yep, Phillamer. I guess moving forward, and
14:58
I know we have have no say at all, don cook. I know
15:03
this is where it's going. Well what what what I think is interesting?
15:09
And we talked about the media and our fans a lot on this podcast,
15:13
and you know my opinion on our fans, how I think we're just constant
15:18
kool aid drinking. I have no logic or reason when it comes to a
15:24
lot of things that deal with Husker athletics. But Tom Chattel wrote an article
15:30
today I'm one of the local media guys that said the regents take advantage of
15:35
our fans because they support no matter what, they support anything. And I
15:43
think that's a very valid statement, like there is no because here here.
15:46
I also saw Larry the cable guy put his big post on Facebook or Twitter
15:50
or something that basically said didn't really bash Trepp, but kind of did said
15:56
if you're gone, then by see you and we're going to move on without
15:58
you, and we're gonna move on to the next night. That that is
16:02
a very next play, move on type mindset. But you're not gonna You're
16:07
not gonna solve anything if we don't we don't want that guy anyways, and
16:11
if we don't look at it from a university standpoint of saying, what the
16:15
hell that we mess up on? I mean, we just lost someone that
16:18
had has a lot of our programs moving in the right direction. So I
16:22
don't know if anything's gonna get fixed because of this. But it all comes
16:26
back to like Chautell said to me a little bit is the fans, like
16:30
it ties back to just the constant, over the top support and not really
16:37
caring about the issue or the problem and just saying, Nope, we just
16:41
believe whatever whatever's gonna work is gonna work, and we're the quote unquote best
16:45
fans ever. Like, I think that's still part of the problem when it
16:52
comes to stuff even like this that is so distanced from an actual event.
16:56
But I think there's ties there that go all the way back down to the
17:00
fan base of Nebraska. Yeah, but there's also but I don't know,
17:08
because like what are you supposed to do? Like it's like, well,
17:11
I guess, like I have no control over any of that. You just
17:15
hope that it doesn't leak into the other programs. Like how long's Rule gonna
17:21
be around? Is he gonna leave now that Albert's gone? Right, Because
17:23
that was the chain there was. Rule came because of Alberts, who came
17:26
because of Chancellor Green. So it's mm hmmm all the way down. Yeah,
17:33
I mean, who knows it? You're telling me that if Rule gets
17:36
an offer from not saying Texas A and M, but another school like that
17:41
in the sec that he's not gonna go all right, well that sounds great.
17:48
I don't know, but maybe I mean John Cook active you know,
17:53
active head coach and the basket volleyball athletic director question mark. Maybe I don't
18:02
know. Yeah, I think for someone like that, who I thought probably
18:11
got along very well with Trev. Mm hmm, there's gonna have to be
18:15
a big change of direction from our regents and our governors, all that stuff
18:23
that you talked about for John Cook to accept that position and think that he
18:29
can do something that Trev couldn't. Because clearly something on Austin's take frustrated Trev
18:37
to get him out of here. So we'll see, we'll see if that
18:41
was the case where there is something more that comes out of it, like
18:44
I think might be the case as well, it doesn't trickle down the wrong
18:48
way where we lose all of the good things going for us, where the
18:52
head coaches, you know, John Cook retires and Matt Rule leaves and Read
19:00
leaves. You know, you just hope that that's not what's going to happen.
19:03
And this is the best you felt about your basketball football team in a
19:06
while, and you could just went down the shitter yep, well, I
19:11
don't know football program. I'm still TV. I mean it's the best you
19:15
felt about it since Frost probably took over. We've got a five star quarterback.
19:21
Yeah, I guess is it's one of my hot takes. But Delan
19:23
Roula got Trev Alberts to be a top ten paid athletic director commission. I
19:30
was just doing your hot take. Is that n Rayola is the reason Trev
19:36
got paid? Yep, that's not my one of my actual hot takes,
19:41
but I mean it's probably partially true. Yeah, So moving on, Let's
19:47
let's get off of this bloom and doom topic until we hear more. We
19:52
do got to talk about in Braska basketball and what they're doing. Guys.
19:56
I was listening to a National Action Network sports betting podcast for conference tournaments,
20:03
and the favorite pick to win value pick to win the Big Ten tournament by
20:07
all three guys was Nebraska, And I'm like, what world am I living
20:11
on? Baby? See? See told me there plus eight hunters. Where
20:18
are they fifth? Best to odds? Probably fifth or sixth? No,
20:22
I think they were actually third? Really? Yeah? Okay, that that
20:27
is good value because Purdue Purdue is like even money. Oh fuck, so
20:34
that's why you got to be brain dead at put any money on that,
20:38
Jesus. But I mean, look at Purdue side. I mean they're they
20:42
have a banged up Northwestern and I mean they're almost to me, almost guaranteed
20:45
in the championships. So yeah, you only got to win three, have
20:51
you? Is this the first time in double buy for the Oscars in the
20:53
Big Ten? No, we made it back in finished since in the ten.
21:00
It is, yes, yeah, best finish in the Big Ten.
21:03
We were double by in twenty eighteen four seed. We did not make the
21:07
tournament that year, but huh here we are most likely projected to be in.
21:14
And something else that I saw on Instagram too. We according to some
21:19
Joe Lenardi metric, we are one of twenty one teams I can win the
21:23
Big Dance based on like nine stabs that we meet. I can't just get
21:33
just get a head chicken. We just want one win. The state might
21:38
burn down if you win one game. No, I do think that Nebraska
21:45
basketball is safely in the tournament. And I say that with about I mean
21:51
ninety five ninety nine percent confidence just looking at everybody's projections and bracktology and then
21:59
We just looking at the team that we have and how we're playing right now.
22:03
We're playing very well and winning on the road at Michigan like we should
22:07
have on Sunday, and then punching our ticket to getting the three seed double
22:14
by and now get the winner of Indiana and Penn State or Michigan. I
22:21
think they're playing right now, So yeah, I like that matchup in more
22:26
in a good position. I do think even if we lose, I don't
22:29
think we will actually lose. I think the way we're playing, we should
22:32
we should win those games. Indiana is playing better, but we went to
22:37
Indiana and beat them just a few weeks ago, so I think I like
22:41
our chances even getting to the semi finals and maybe making some noise. So
22:48
it is a very good spot for basketball right now, and it's exciting to
22:52
see what this team can do come tournament time next week. Yeah, I
23:00
don't get oh good for DK. I don't think there's any shot even if
23:06
they lose by thirty and that that game is the quarterfinal game. I don't
23:11
think there's any shot they're not in. But how in the hell is Michigan
23:15
State and projected nine seed Nebraska is ten the Michigan State's like nineteen and fifteen
23:22
or something like that to this Michigan State. Yeah, it's it's all about
23:26
names in college. I'm I'm looking at some of these teams. Even Oklahoma
23:30
they're a nine projected eight nine. There's no way in the hell they should
23:33
be. Yeah. I mean Nebraska's non conference. You look at our schedule,
23:37
it was not super strong, and Case State looked like to be a
23:41
really good win. Case State's now on the outside looking in hoping they can
23:45
still make it. But we didn't have much in the non conqueras. Those
23:48
teams did play and won a couple of those games, so you do have
23:53
that. But I do think that Nebraska is as deserving, if not Mortars
24:00
were being than teams like that. The other one that I saw is like
24:03
the higher seed than that as Boise State. In Boise State's like in the
24:07
top twenty five or just outside and I just pulled it up randomly. They
24:10
haven't played anybody all year in the Mountain West and they've won a couple Like
24:15
I'm like, why is a team like that who has the same wrecord as
24:18
us ahead of us playing whoa whoa? WHOA? Hold up? No mount
24:22
West landerd here, Mountain West is freaking good? Yeah, yeah, I
24:26
know every year, goddamn BA, that's one of my hot takes. Someone
24:30
from the Mountain West and winning it at all, winning it all? Yep.
24:36
I'm not gonna say who, but someone from Mountain West canna win it
24:38
all? Well, that transitioned well into your hot take there, Dak,
24:44
didn't it? Yeah? I don't know where it's gonna throw that out there?
24:48
But a good basketball conference? Who all do we got out there?
24:53
That's that you think could win it? I mean, who are your protections?
24:59
You and l New Mexico, San Diego State, there's getting there's projected
25:08
six Boise State. Yeah, is Colorida State projected? They're twenty three and
25:15
nine regular season? I bet they're projected. They got the seventh seed in
25:19
the tournament I saw in their Mountain West tournament. If they always win the
25:30
twelve five, eleven, six upset make a run to the sweet sixteen,
25:34
they do every year. I think San Diego State did. Is that last
25:37
year or two years ago? Championship? Yep? I don't know. You
25:47
don't mean to throw my other hot tike? I got there right now?
25:49
Just throw it out there. Just give it to a stack. Right now,
25:52
Kansas is losing first round. Everybody put that in their bracket. They
25:56
suck as what seed? To get more detailed? Two seeds? They will
26:02
be a two seed and they're gonna lose first round. You think they're going
26:06
to be that high. Well okay, okay, well never mind three seeds.
26:15
There'll be a three or four seed and you're calling me up I thought
26:19
they were highing that. But no, there, whatever seed they are,
26:23
they're getting upset and must say fall away to eleven then they can't. But
26:29
Kansas was a sixth seed in the Big twelve tournament. Yeah, they're they're
26:33
asked when they're losing right now, and they're they're very banged up too.
26:37
I know. I don't think hundred Dickinson's played tonight. I know they're very
26:41
banged up. It's a good, good one, Dak. I like it,
26:45
Pencil, I've said that. I've said that all year. It wasn't
26:48
just after this loss. They are not that good. They're down by thirteen
26:52
at the end of the half against Cincinnati, so pretty good start for you.
27:00
What else Nebraska basketball? Do we have anything else where we jump into
27:03
more just general March Madness talk. No, I feel good, I optimistically
27:11
good. Where are you ready to travel? To? Brooklyn? I think
27:14
is where I saw it at? So yeah, that was the only other
27:18
thing. Just looking at locations, I'm guessing will be anywhere from a seven
27:23
to a ten seed depending on wins and losses. Omaha only hosts one seven
27:30
to ten, so the chances of Omaha are I think very slim. I
27:34
think eight to nine are most likely. So destinations that are looking probable are
27:44
Charlotte, Memphis, Brooklyn, Salt Lake City. I don't think Spokane's an
27:51
option anymore. I didn't see a Pittsburgh option. Oh, Indianapolis is another
27:56
one that I think is still possible. But yeah, I'm excited. It
28:02
should be fun. I just hope they play on Friday, not Thursday's all
28:07
I want if they better play Friday. Are you guys the type of people
28:15
that take days off work just to watch March March Madness? Or that I
28:19
started tradition last year? I have, Yes, I have. I did
28:22
last year, but I did and I did during COVID, Because what's the
28:26
freaking point it was COVID? You know I'm already seah, I have this
28:33
year, I am because I'm going to the games started Dristan last year,
28:38
go to Barry's eleven am, stay all day doing it again. This year,
28:45
you better make sure you can watch the Huskers play that night. I
28:48
know that's a bad part is last year the eight o'clock games, they let's
28:55
just say they didn't get watched. Should we shout out the lady Huskers on
29:00
their big ten finish? Yes, runner up almost got it done. I
29:07
couldn't quite close it out though they're they're playing well. I watched them in
29:14
the tournament their last three games pretty much start to finish, and I can't
29:18
say I've watched him super closely. This year. I'm impressed with with what
29:25
we have. We have. Markowski is a very strong inside and out post
29:30
player. There's a lot of high draft pick for the w n B A
29:36
not something you talk about too often you're in Nebraska, and I would I
29:38
would not be surprised by that at all. I mean watching her play even
29:42
against I mean Iowa is one of the best teams in the country. She
29:45
dominates the side, especially from a rebounding perspective on both ends and and Josh
29:52
Shelley is the real deal. I mean, you're going to talk about just
29:56
having every part of her game be super solid and and has the ability to
30:00
go off scoring and passing and very impressive. And then and then when our
30:06
other girls shoot it the way they did in the tournament, I mean,
30:10
we can play with anybody, as we've shown play with Iowa. But we've
30:15
also seen times too this year where that hasn't gone like that as well.
30:19
But we're hot, we're playing well, We're hot going to the tournament.
30:23
It makes you excited for next year. We we get Britt Prince, That's
30:26
honestly part of it. And I think it will be a very very smooth
30:33
transition from Jazz to Britt at point guard spot, and I think BRIT's gonna
30:37
have some things that Jazz didn't and vice versa as well. So I think
30:42
it will that will benefit a lot for the program to a lot, a
30:47
lot of momentum, Just hoping that all that extra crap with the lawsuit stays
30:52
out of the situation and Amy Williams to keep building ingrated coach Williams and runner
30:59
up Big Ten, runner up the women Huskers what a surprise, and the
31:06
men could do it too this year who knows what a crazy world. I
31:11
don't know lick about the women's basketball team. What see or they projected?
31:15
I actually saw we were This is before the tournament final. So the women's
31:22
Big Ten Tournament is the first conference tournament for the women's that's done. So
31:26
Iowa was the first one to punch their ticket. We were the sixth seed
31:30
or the fire the five seed in the Big Ten Tournament. What I saw
31:36
in some bracketology, at least the ESPNS, we were like an eight or
31:38
nine well right against play matchup against Kansas round one according to ESPN in bracket
31:45
So that actually might be okay if that one girl gets suspended for several games
31:51
from South Carolina, if there's ever a time to face South Carolina. Where's
31:56
that at? Where's the location of that at? Albany, Oh, Columbia?
31:59
There we go? Wow, what if I could? I wonder if
32:02
I could make it work? Where I went and watched the men's and women
32:07
in Colombia, that would be incredible. That could happen? Could happen?
32:15
Austin, You gotta have two hot takes. I still have one left,
32:19
minds gonna. I do have hot takes. But it was really tough to
32:21
slip them in there and do I believe them? But they're hot, baby,
32:25
so they're hot. Hold lot you hot takes that you don't believe?
32:29
That's not a hot I don't know if I necessarily believe in them. I
32:32
can see all my takes. I don't believe that's true. Dak knows.
32:37
I believe football players should have to play both offense and defense at every level
32:44
of the game. Wow, are you actually athletes? Are you just specialized
32:51
ambition? Like, what's the point high schoolers? Do it? Come on?
32:54
Okay, the next one. I don't even like that one though,
32:59
for you. No, I mean that's good. It just is so random
33:02
and well, I was you do, like, give two hot takes?
33:07
I was like, I don't know if I have any spicy ones lived around?
33:09
Well, how about anything with the current sports? But like I get
33:13
like current of gambling was recently legalized. I believe fantasy football saved professional football.
33:22
Professional football would be the same place as baseball is right now. Fantasy
33:24
football didn't exist in the last thirty years. Okay, honestly, I kind
33:28
of believe you. I kind of believe that. I mean, there's our
33:31
games. They're not super rea, there's not as many teams that are regionally
33:36
driven fan bases and fantasy Why didn't fantasy baseball save the MLB too long?
33:44
And you gotta pay attention every single day? It's it's not you gotta payttention
33:50
your lineup and people get injured, take people out every single day in and
33:52
out. Fantasy football I think saved it up till this point. Now gambling
33:57
is just gonna take it over and it's gonna just rule every thing. Fantasy
34:00
football is easier for the masses to participate in. I want, maybe maybe
34:06
you have. They'll watch eight hours of football on Sunday just to watch their
34:09
fantasy players. They don't care about their teams anymore. I want the history
34:15
of fantasy football. Next podcast, all right, I'll look I'll look into
34:19
that one that was I want to I want to know where it came from.
34:23
There's probably just some guys who looked up. They would read the newspaper
34:27
and assigned points. I don't know, I'll look into it. The other
34:31
added element to that is daily fantasy that has become a thing a lot more
34:37
recent. It's something I like doing a lot too. So my brother and
34:42
I were saying that with this new professional volleyball league, we need to be
34:44
the first ones to really capitalize and create a professional volleyball fantasy league. M
34:49
hmm, I'll play. I got to see if that catches enough. I
34:53
know it's doing well I think here in our area, knowing the volleyball state
35:00
that we are. But see if that catches traction thenues to build into Yeah,
35:13
guys, this is, like I said, one of the best times
35:15
of the year. It's March Madness, the Masters is coming up, Saint
35:23
Patti's Day is also my birthday on Sunday. H whoa, what else happens?
35:31
Yeah, huh, well, what kind of you dah damn. That's
35:37
an easy on this. This is this is a hot take, I guess.
35:44
But we're a prediction. You say I knew that that you did?
35:47
Yeah? Uh? What else happens on Sundays? Guys? In the sports
35:55
world, every Sunday, what happens in sports? Golf final round always happens
36:05
on Sundays. There's been one guy here that's played well. So right now
36:08
for people that don't really follow golf as much, they are finishing up what
36:14
they call a Florida swing, so they go to Florida. They play in
36:17
like three or four tournaments in Florida. They finish up with players, which
36:23
is this weekend. And one particular guy has played very well all up until
36:30
the final round on Sunday the past two weeks and kind of shit the bet,
36:36
but he still has a third place finish in a fourth place finish the
36:38
last two weeks. Well, this guy happens also to be from Ireland,
36:45
and he's very much Irish, and Sunday is Saint Patti's Day. Shane Lowry
36:52
will win the Players Championship this week. I believe he's about it at plus
36:55
twenty six one hundred odds around there, So get in on that. It
37:00
is the luck of the Irish. She's playing well and all he needs is
37:04
the Sunday to go right for him. It's Saint Patti's Day. What a
37:08
storyline that's going to be. As far as it takes, goes pretty mild.
37:14
That's just a prediction. Who's going to win? A prediction. It's
37:15
not a take, it's a prediction. I'm mad. I can't put my
37:20
fifteen dollars on Tiger Woods. Why you saved fifteen dollars? I told him
37:28
every single every single tournament he plays the rest of his rest of his life.
37:32
I'm going fifteen dollars. I'm to win, and eventually it'll cash out
37:36
and it'll come back. I'll be a winner because the odds are so big.
37:42
If you have I won't lose that much, or you'll lose fifteen dollars
37:45
for the rest of your life, for the rest of Tiger's playing career,
37:50
I should say, which might be might be next month? All right,
37:57
Well, we are going to do a gut reaction initialt reaction to the bracket
38:01
release on Sunday, so we will be back here in a few short days
38:06
seeing where Hoiberg and Nebraska falls out in the tournament as they should, and
38:12
hopefully dak Sooners are there too. Oh if they play Oklahoma, I sort
38:15
of God, I know that will be their first one and it's just gonna
38:19
be hell. All right, go Bigarette if you are the boomer sooner,
