  SPEAKER_01: You're listening to the WDYM, the What Do You Mean Podcast?
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_01: Hamilton's number one podcast.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_01: Now sit back and relax.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_01: Here's Hamilton's own Michael Gillespie.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the WDYM.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_00: I'm your host, Michael Gillespie.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: Hope everybody is doing good.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: Hope everybody is doing well.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: It is the best time of the year if you are from the southwestern part of Ohio, right?
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: This is the Mecca of the year, so to speak.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: It is the beginning of the football season.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I am roughly three weeks into it, but I'm not talking about the NFL.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: NFL starts this weekend.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: College football officially started last week.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: Real quick, what is week zero?
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't even know we did that in college football.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: We're talking about high school football, especially in Ohio.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: High school football is probably one of the best things about living in the Cincinnati Butler County area because we have so many stacked teams here.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: And especially, I represent Butler County.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: Butler County has arguably some of the best teams in Ohio, right?
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: We have the Ross Rams and the Edgewood Cougars and the Fairfield Indians and the Middletown Middies.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: We got Talawanda up there, Monroe Hornets.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_00: We have some great teams in Butler County.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: But I, who I roll with, you know who I roll with.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: You see it right here, right?
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I rock with the Hamilton Big Blue.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: I was cool there.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: What are you expecting?
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: Huh?
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: Best fight song in Butler County, hands down.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: So, of course I'm riding with Hamilton all the way to the end of days, brother.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: I am a Hamilton Big Blue.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: That's it.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: There's no if, ands, or buts.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: That's who I roll with.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: The Hamilton Big Blue.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: That's a great fight song.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: And Hamilton has been a up and down, but we've been on the rise making the playoffs for the past three to four years and everything.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: So, and before I keep going, I want to just know it's easier now to make the playoffs than back then.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: So it might have been something back then.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: But needless to say, Hamilton's been up and down and all that stuff.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: And it always starts at the beginning of the year.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: The beginning of the year, we play our N-City rival.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: And probably the best team in Butler County, the Baden Rams.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I'm not even going to entertain that.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: I don't, but that's how I feel about it.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: Again, this is our rivalry.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: This is our rival.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: And the rival game is the first game of the season, which, you know, I need to pull some strings and everything because I'm sick of that game being played first game of the year.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: It shouldn't be.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: Mid season, I'm cool with that.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_00: End of the season, that's what I prefer.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: Hold on, let me think of this.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: It's always stacked against Hamilton to win this game.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: Let's just compare.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: Back in Baton had arguably the greatest coach to ever coach high school, Coach Terry Malone.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: They even named the field after him because he was so great.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: And his style, the way he's played, is hard to beat Terry Malone.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: And that's proof in the pudding.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: Won state championships at Baton and was elite through his whole coaching career at Baden.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: And he's really revered by people of both Hamilton and Baton.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: Terry Malone, Hamilton legend, Hamilton icon.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: So him coaching Baton, a standard that was hard, you know, hard to reach for Hamilton and everything.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: And Hamilton going through its old things, first, you know, being Hamilton, then dividing from Taft and Garfield and back to Hamilton.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_00: And then they started the series back in the 80s.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: And in the 80s, we played twice in the 80s, and results didn't happen.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: And then they renewed it in the nine in the 1990s, 99 and 2000, where Hamilton got their first win in 1999, where I was a senior.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: And I got to watch that whooping.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: It was a great day, trust me.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: Then 2000 came around.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: It was probably one of the best competitive games back and forth, so to speak.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: And then Baton pulled away.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: And then we had a 20-year gap before 2023.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: When 2023 came around, we decided this rivalry would spark up again.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: And the rivalry's great.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: The rivalry is great because it brings out Hamilton and it shines a light upon the city where the city comes together for our kids, for our schools, and everything.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: And it's great.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's a great game to have every year since 2023.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: Minus the losing, okay?
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: But we'll get to that shortly.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: But it's hard.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's hard for Big Blue to play a rivalry game where Baton has such a high standard of football.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: And it's hard for them to compete.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: It's weird because since 2023, Baton's been put in the wood to Hamilton.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: And it doesn't make sense.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: I can't comprehend why this keeps happening.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: 2023 was a blank.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: It was 18 to nothing.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: 2024, we get our revenge, 15 to nothing.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: 2025, 38-20, Baton.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: And then we have this year, 2026.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_00: And leading up to the game, I'm digging in and I'm trying to figure out what's going on.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: First thing, the quarterback we had last year left.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: And it's like, oh shoot, where did he go?
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: He went to another school close up to Dayton and wished that young man nothing but the best.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: Man, if we had him, this might be a different game.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: And with schools and now people transferring a lot, the cupboard was quote unquote bare, right?
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: And leading up to it, coach was like, Yeah, we're gonna be a work hard team, a bring your lunch pill type team.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: So that tells me that Hamilton's gonna run the ball.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: And if you know the DNA of Hamilton, that's what we do.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: We've had great running backs of the past.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: One of my favorites was Mike Myers.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: Mike Myers was a great running back.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: Five, five foot five, five foot six, running like a demon, right?
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: Derek Wilkinson, one of the all-time leading rushers, Adel Givens, Caleb Johnson.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: The list goes on and on.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: Run the ball.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_00: And this day and age, we don't run the ball.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: Well, the whole high school in general just doesn't run the ball.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: Everything comes from a shotgun.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: So it's like, okay, he's saying we're gonna work hard, be a hardworking team.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so that means like I'm thinking you're gonna run the ball.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: You're gonna run the ball in the eye or something like that, because that's to me, that's football one-on-one.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: Run the ball first down, get three yards.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: So make it second and seven.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: That's just me.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: So as we pull up to the stadium, this and mind you, this is the first game at Baden.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: Bayton had built a stadium last year,$15 million,$15 million stadium, and you know, that you can't get around the$15 million.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: They did in every article,$15 million for Matandy Sports Complex.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_00: $15 million for a Tandy Complex.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: This is great.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: And, you know, leading up to it, I'm thinking to myself, like maybe this could be the year that Hamilton plants the flag at their stadium, and you know, take the first time we play bait in that bait, we whoop that tail, right?
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: So that's the hope.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: You know, that's the hope going into this game.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: And there is there was warning signs.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: Warning signs that baiting came to play.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_00: And it's not like the typical, oh, that dude's big, or uh oh, they got an offensive line that's really big.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_00: There's none of that.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_00: Both kids looked the same size and everything.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_00: It wasn't like, oh my god, that guy is huge.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: Or the experience, I think I even think the experience might be a little in favor of Bayton, but not enough to be worried about.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: The warning signs was the band.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: Because Baton didn't have a band.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_00: They didn't bring the band out.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: They had five people: a guitar, some drums, a bass, and they were playing their fight song as a modern day song.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_00: It wasn't like the classic, you know, brass instruments and all that stuff.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: They were just playing guitar.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm like, oh shoot, that's not.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a little like, why are they okay?
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe that's just how they do things.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: A modern-day band, they got the guitar out and all that stuff.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: And so as the teams are warming up, stretching and all that stuff, Hamilton goes in the corner and get the last adjustments and plan, and the baiting team just completely disappear.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_00: Where they go?
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: What are they doing?
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: They injecting steroids.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_00: Something right.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_00: We can't see where Baiton's at.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_00: In their little complex, in their nice lockers and all that, the locker room, whatever.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: Where they go.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: So as the game's starting to approach, game time, Hamlet comes out, they run out on the field, and we're all clapping and everything, and they're getting all juiced and pumped and everything, excited and all that stuff.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: Sign number two that Baton was not playing games.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: On their brand new scoreboard, they have a big old screen.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_00: Somebody is recording, it's showing the team coming out.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_00: And I think it's number five.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: He's got his gloves on, like he's a surgeon or something.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we're about to do some work today.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_00: He's putting on the gloves, walking around, getting his helmet together and everything.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: And that's sign number two.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_00: They're like, uh oh.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_00: We might be in trouble because this is why are they doing that?
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: Why are they coming out like WWE?
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: Like they're about to take the title away from us.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: They're about to beat us like Stone Cold.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a little nervous for my team because they're intimidating me and I'm in the stands.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not supposed to be intimidating.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a grown man.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: So that was sign two.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_00: Like, oh, the band, they got a band that's a modern day band, and the team's coming out like WWE.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: I said, oh Lord, this is this is I'm oh, this ain't cool.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: And then that same guy that's putting the gloves on, getting the helmet right and everything, number five, comes out with the whole team and does a front flip.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_00: You doing a front flip?
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_00: You doing a front flip before the game, bro?
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_00: Why you doing a yeah, so you get ready to play some rivalry football in Hamilton.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_00: You up here just doing a front flip.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_00: Huh?
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_00: Why you do that?
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_00: Why did you do that?
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_00: He set the tone because he's not he's not taking it seriously.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: He's doing front flips on my team.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: And he was everywhere too, ladies and gentlemen.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_00: That dude, number five, why do I remember that?
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_00: Because I seen him everywhere.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_00: Number five was everywhere.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_00: And needless to say, the game didn't go our way at all.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: All these warning signs tell you that Baden is ready to play.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: They score a touchdown and they immediately go on for two.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: Why are you going for two, huh?
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_00: You score your first touchdown.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_00: You just like, we ain't worried if we even go down one if we don't get this.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: They go for two.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: And they get it.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: And it's like, you know what?
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: The most disrespectful thing you could do is go for two on your first touchdown, huh?
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: Why did you do that?
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: It was not.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_00: This is what's gonna happen the whole game.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna do what we want.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna do some front flips, and we're gonna play music all day because we're gonna beat you.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: And then needless to say, they did it.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_00: They were beating us, right?
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it was starting to get a little competitive, but it wasn't really competitive.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: And that's the thing.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_00: And to rewind time to show you how this goes, 2023 was the same way.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: Where our defense was decent in the first game, but offense, we couldn't move the ball at all.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_00: The best play was our kicker, which was next year the 2024's running back, missed up the kick and ran it for a first down.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_00: That was it.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_00: After that, Baton 18, Hamilton zero.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_00: Same thing.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: This year, the team just could not get out of couldn't get they just couldn't start.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: You say you're a hardworking team and all that stuff, you're gonna bring the lunch pale, this and the other.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: Cool.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_00: Run the ball.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'm a fan, so I can't really say this, but if you you realize what you are in practice, every snap was shotgun.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: And it's like you're not even giving your team a chance.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_00: But again, he knows the team better than I do.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just like, I'm old school, maybe I'm old school.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_00: Give me three yards, first and ten, give me three yards.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_00: Three yards of running back with a with a fullback, old school.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe that'll work, maybe that'll build some confidence on the offense because the offense it didn't start.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_00: It didn't start.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_00: And so needless to say, Baden beat Hamilton.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my god, again, again, again, again, again, again, oh my god!
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_00: Nice over Yeah, it was over real quick, and the second half started, and there was no adjustments.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_00: We had two quarterbacks going in and out, and needless to say, it just wasn't our day.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_00: It wasn't our day.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: Bayton ended up winning 33-7, and we've signed up to do this again for the next two years.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_00: Since this rivalry has renewed in 2023, we have won one game.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_00: And the other games haven't been close.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_00: None of the games has been close.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_00: Let me just be clear on that.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_00: The 18-0 Baton win, the 15-0 Hamilton win, the 38-20 wasn't really close after the first half.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: And then the 33-7 that they put on us this year wasn't even close.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_00: And we're signing up to do this two more years.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_00: How about we take a pause?
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_00: How about we take a pause for a minute and play the village of New Miami, play those Vikings over there and beat them against the confidence because it has to be hard to start the season 0-1 against your rival.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: And especially this day and age where these kids got the TikToks and all that stuff, they talk, they talk so crazy.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_00: They talk smack.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_00: And like I said earlier, it always feels like Hamilton is always down one, you know.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_00: Great coach Terry Malone, Baton's lineage of being a great established football program.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_00: It always feels like no matter what somebody from Hamilton does, we're always down one.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_00: And I got proof, right?
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_00: So before halftime, we have split the pot.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm pretty sure you've heard of split the pot before.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_00: Split the pot, where you buy tickets and you split half of it with the home team and everything.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: So they're going, split the pot.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_00: Split the pot.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, I want some split the pot.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, What do you want?
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_00: Five, one for five, one for one, five for ten.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_00: Or you get the wingspan for twenty dollars.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_00: And then young lady put her arms out, like, wingspan.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, all right, you know, wingspan sounds good.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, Wait, how much is the wingspan?
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_00: Wingspan's$20.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so all right, cool.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I'm all about the city and Hamilton and all the good things of Hamilton.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_00: This money's going to a good cause, whatever, whatnot.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_00: So let me get the wingspan.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, all right.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_00: She pulls out all these red tickets this long.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_00: That's good, 30, 40 tickets.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, great, cool.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_00: I got a stack this big.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_00: My wife's like, why you buy all that?
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_00: I said, I'm supporting the community.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a community man.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_00: So halftime comes around.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_00: They announced that we're about to play two more games of this rivalry.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, we shouldn't do that.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm like, whatever.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_00: And they're like, ready for split the pot?
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_00: Pull out all these red tickets.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I am.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_00: I better win something.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_00: I better look at all these tickets.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_00: I better win something, right?
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_00: Red tickets.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_00: I'm looking at him like, okay, when is he gonna start announcing numbers?
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_00: He's like, ready?
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_00: Green.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_00: Green what?
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, green what?
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_00: Green tickets.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_00: They're selling green tickets.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_00: You know what they did?
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_00: They came to our side, Hamilton, sold us red tickets, and sold green tickets on Bainside.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_00: I got no proof of this.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_00: I got no proof.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_00: But I know this is what they did.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: I know what they did.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_00: And then I'm looking in the booth with my X-ray vision and seeing that, they're like, oh, red ticket, no, they don't need to win that.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_00: Red ticket, no win that.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_00: Green ticket, okay.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_00: Baitside wins.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_00: That's what they did.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you can't fool me.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_00: You can't fool me at all.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_00: That is exactly what Baden did.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_00: So we're gonna do this for two more years.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_00: Next year's gonna be at Hamilton.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm hoping that this rivalry gets back in our favor.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_00: This is ridiculous.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's whooping season.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_00: It's like giving Baden a preseason game that counts.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_00: Again, number five up here doing front flips before the game.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_00: You know how that's embarrassing.
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_00: Never forgive that young man for that.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_00: But you know, it is what it is.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_00: So hopefully next year we get our act together and we can do something at the Swarm Stadium, Virgil Swarm Stadium.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_00: But another thing.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_00: Do you know how I know number five now?
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's because this young man is all over my TikTok now.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: And he has so many clips on TikTok of him just embarrassing Hamilton.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_00: This isn't fair, man.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, like I said earlier, these kids today on the TikToks and everything, they talking smack and doing all that stuff.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_00: Number five, man, you ain't right.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_00: But all seriousness, wish you nothing but the best.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_00: I hope you do good, and I hope you're leaving.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_00: I hope you are not staying at bang for next year because I can't handle it.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_00: I can't handle it.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_00: I can't handle another whooping, man.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_00: Because this is ridiculous.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_00: Since this rivalry has been started, they have outscored us 89 to 42.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_00: That's a lot of points.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_00: So the stadium's beautiful,$15 million.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so we'll see.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_00: So hopefully, you know, Hamilton can get together since that was week one, and now this is week three.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_00: They're one and two.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_00: And they won last week against Sycamore, who hasn't won since like three years now.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_00: But we're not the worst team in the GMC.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_00: That's that's as far as I go.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_00: It's only the third game of the year.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to week four against Lakota West.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_00: And yeah, we haven't beat Lakota West since 2017.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_00: So, yeah, it's gonna be an interesting season.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_00: And Baton, they're just running over everybody in the Butler County.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_00: They just beat Edgewood, and they only get stronger each week, each week they play.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_00: But I will say this, they're in Division II now.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_00: And Talawanda, something's going on, something's up in the water in Oxford because Talawanda is now 3-0 this year, like they were last year, and they're pretty much going unheard of right now.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_00: But uh, we'll see.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_00: We will see how that goes.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_00: Also, not in Butler County, but the Princeton Vikings are back to being the Princeton Vikings of the 90s dominating.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_00: So it's not looking good for Hamilton, but you never know.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_00: You never know how a season will go.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_00: And hopefully, you can find something to turn around.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_00: And let's just get out of shotgun.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_00: Let's just go old school, let's just line up an eye and see who's tougher on the line.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, that's what I would do if I was a coach, but I'm not coaching.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_00: So I wish them nothing but the best.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_00: And I'll be there from game to game because I always support my Hamilton Big Blue.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_00: Always.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_00: Despite losing to our rival.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_00: But that's the show.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_00: That's it.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_00: I just had to get this out there because I can't stand them.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_00: And number five, get off TikTok! I don't want to see you no more.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_00: But it's all good.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_00: I'm your host of the WD YM Michael Gillespie.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_00: Go big blue.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_00: Go baby.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_00: Whatever.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_00: Um, see you in the guys next week.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_00: Peace out, Boy Scout, Girl Scout, peace.
