- 2:52Speaker 5: I'm gonna do.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Some buying or selling momentarily.
- 2:54Speaker 5: But we need to point out that, in addition to
- 2:56Speaker 5: being Tuesday in the good Land, the day after the
- 3:00Speaker 5: NCAA Championship game, which Michigan prevailed in uh, the day
- 3:04Speaker 5: after the Brewers beat the Red Sox at Fenway Park
- 3:09Speaker 5: in this series opener, it is also in the good
- 3:11Speaker 5: Land and elsewhere election day. So as you're thinking about
- 3:16Speaker 5: doing your civic duty and taking part in this, uh
- 3:20Speaker 5: you know, in these troubled times billions, I think one
- 3:26Speaker 5: of the things we can all agree on we can
- 3:27Speaker 5: hold a referendum right here on the huddle, is that
- 3:30Speaker 5: right now, Wilson Contreras is sports enemy number one in
- 3:35Speaker 5: the state of Wisconsin.
- 3:36Speaker 6: Yeah, that circle is gonna get that, that bubble is
- 3:38Speaker 6: gonna get filled in by I think just about everybody
- 3:42Speaker 6: right now. And he's definitely not running unopposed, right, I mean,
- 3:45Speaker 6: Ben Johnson is gonna get a lot of a lot
- 3:49Speaker 6: of disdain now that would be drew like if we're
- 3:52Speaker 6: talking in a local election or into the state wide election.
- 3:56Speaker 6: Ben Johnson Caleb Williams is gonna be tough to beat.
- 3:58Speaker 6: But it's it's all about what have you done for
- 4:01Speaker 6: me lately? Wilson Contreras finds himself right there into my pal.
- 4:04Speaker 5: Has Wilson Contrara's inched past Craig Council on your personal
- 4:08Speaker 5: power rankings of people that you don't like because Councils
- 4:12Speaker 5: slipped down a few spots for a lot of people
- 4:14Speaker 5: when the Brewers vanquished the Cubs last.
- 4:16Speaker 2: Year big time.
- 4:16Speaker 5: Well it is mad and Murf's one two Manager of
- 4:19Speaker 5: the year's work. Craig's never won one, so it's like, Okay,
- 4:21Speaker 5: we got a guy that pushes it away.
- 4:23Speaker 6: I also think Ben Johnson shoved Craig Council completely out
- 4:26Speaker 6: of this conversation, right, Like as much as we enjoy
- 4:30Speaker 6: being able to mock Craig and the Chew incident is
- 4:33Speaker 6: one of my favorite things that I've ever seen on
- 4:35Speaker 6: the internet.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Boy, he's wearing that one. That is one of my
- 4:37Speaker 2: favorite things I've ever seen it. Wait until he gets
- 4:39Speaker 2: to Milwaukee and I've never for him a dip.
- 4:41Speaker 6: I've never felt more like a manager in Major League
- 4:44Speaker 6: Baseball because I remember my third one and that was
- 4:46Speaker 6: my last one. But to see a coach ripping his
- 4:51Speaker 6: shirt off, celebrating, screaming f that team when it's your
- 4:55Speaker 6: favorite team, and doing it with the ownership right they're behind,
- 5:01Speaker 6: and frankly, it looked like George McCaskey being happier than
- 5:04Speaker 6: anybody in that room. Seeing Kevin Warren just fitstpump and saying,
- 5:08Speaker 6: all right, it doesn't matter if we move this damn
- 5:09Speaker 6: team to hamm in Indiana. They're still Matt and all
- 5:12Speaker 6: the locals are gonna be fired up because we got
- 5:14Speaker 6: the guy that finally beat the packers.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Gonna be tough to top that one.
- 5:17Speaker 6: And I think he moved counts out of the conversation,
- 5:21Speaker 6: the one that I'm interested with Drew, because we do
- 5:24Speaker 6: hold grudges. Milwaukee. People are very in Wisconsin. I's are
- 5:28Speaker 6: absolutely elite at a lot of things. Drink in one
- 5:32Speaker 6: of them, oh yes, smoking sausages, no pause in there.
- 5:37Speaker 6: One of them would definitely be holding a grudge over
- 5:40Speaker 6: somebody that we believe wrong them. Do you think Wilson
- 5:42Speaker 6: Contreras has made people kind of forget Manny Machado? Has
- 5:46Speaker 6: he just moved many because that was a one time,
- 5:51Speaker 6: eight years ago deal.
- 5:52Speaker 5: Anny Machado gets boed. Is one of those guys that
- 5:54Speaker 5: gets booed here don't even remember why.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Oh well, he nearly.
- 5:59Speaker 4: Took out Terrang and the WBC. I mean, if Terrang didn't,
- 6:03Speaker 4: you know, miss on that transfer, it looked like he
- 6:06Speaker 4: was coming cleats up into Terrang's ankle.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Forgot about that one, So I mean.
- 6:11Speaker 4: He he narrowly avoided going back atop enemy number one.
- 6:17Speaker 6: Well, and Many got himself into into some sticky waters
- 6:20Speaker 6: earlier this weekend too, by a little bit of a
- 6:23Speaker 6: dirty situation that she found himself into. I just like
- 6:26Speaker 6: that there's a lot in that one that one of
- 6:28Speaker 6: all the Red Sox too, when he kicked the baseball.
- 6:30Speaker 2: I think that was it this past weekend.
- 6:32Speaker 6: So like, there's guys that will always be near the
- 6:36Speaker 6: top of the most despised players. But I think Contreras
- 6:40Speaker 6: is finding himself that he is going to solidify almost
- 6:44Speaker 6: in stone. He'll be in the top five.
- 6:46Speaker 2: Of all time. That's gonna be interesting. Eight seven seven
- 6:49Speaker 2: seven nine.
- 6:50Speaker 5: Nicola la dot Com Talking text line can also comment
- 6:53Speaker 5: on the YouTube stream.
- 6:54Speaker 2: We like reading those as well.
- 6:57Speaker 5: But uh, it's buy or Cell Tuesday and the auction
- 7:01Speaker 5: floor is now open. Hit us with your buy or
- 7:03Speaker 5: sell propositions. This is the way it works. You're buying
- 7:07Speaker 5: or selling that at thirty seven and three, Michigan is
- 7:09Speaker 5: one of the all time great college basketball teams and
- 7:11Speaker 5: had one of the all time great seasons that we
- 7:14Speaker 5: just watch something historic.
- 7:16Speaker 2: You're buying or selling that premise.
- 7:18Speaker 6: I think I'd probably buy it. Drew from the dominant
- 7:21Speaker 6: in an era that is going to be tougher to
- 7:26Speaker 6: be able to just be head and shoulders above everybody.
- 7:29Speaker 6: It kind of felt like they were throughout the tournament,
- 7:32Speaker 6: and I thought that was, I mean, on full display
- 7:35Speaker 6: on Saturday night when they just drummed Arizona. And I'm
- 7:39Speaker 6: not going off with the Ken Palm numbers and all
- 7:41Speaker 6: the different analytic numbers. I don't understand what all of
- 7:44Speaker 6: those mean. What I do know is any time you
- 7:48Speaker 6: were watching Michigan this year, it felt like they started
- 7:51Speaker 6: up ten and it was going to be a massive
- 7:54Speaker 6: uphill climb to be able to And that's one of
- 7:55Speaker 6: the biggest reasons why I was so impressed with, in
- 7:59Speaker 6: you know, hindsight, how the Badgers went in and handled
- 8:03Speaker 6: them on that Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon when they
- 8:06Speaker 6: got that first win of the year, big ten road
- 8:09Speaker 6: win and the first team to knock off Michigan this year.
- 8:12Speaker 6: They're one of, if not the most dominant that we've seen.
- 8:16Speaker 6: But I also watched that Yukon team two years ago
- 8:19Speaker 6: just dominate everybody and win every game by double digits,
- 8:22Speaker 6: and that was the least fun the tournament had ever been.
- 8:25Speaker 6: This one still had some singular moments, So I don't
- 8:28Speaker 6: know that I can put them the absolute.
- 8:30Speaker 2: But they're in that pantheon.
- 8:31Speaker 6: I would say they're the top five of the best
- 8:33Speaker 6: teams I've ever seen.
- 8:34Speaker 5: Brayln Mullins's shot to beat Duke did not redeem the
- 8:38Speaker 5: entire tournament.
- 8:39Speaker 2: The tournament as a whole. I think you said it
- 8:41Speaker 2: was a c man. I think to me, it's like yah.
- 8:44Speaker 5: Plus you know, it just wasn't that it didn't live
- 8:48Speaker 5: up to the standards of the regular season. The regular
- 8:51Speaker 5: season this year had some great moments, great players, some
- 8:54Speaker 5: new super teams kind of emerging, and it had some sizzle,
- 8:59Speaker 5: and the tournament was kind of eh.
- 9:01Speaker 2: It was And I wonder if you know when we talked.
- 9:04Speaker 6: I talked about it with Butchie a couple of different
- 9:06Speaker 6: times on the den when he came in huddled up
- 9:08Speaker 6: with us in the morning. He had kind of leaked
- 9:10Speaker 6: out during the beginning of the tournament drew like a
- 9:13Speaker 6: lot of the upsets maybe happened in the conference championships.
- 9:17Speaker 6: Maybe that's why you didn't have as many of those.
- 9:19Speaker 6: But what there are probably three or four games that
- 9:23Speaker 6: will be benchmarks from the tournament.
- 9:24Speaker 2: Sadly, one of them is against Wisconsin.
- 9:26Speaker 6: And maybe the biggest moment of the tournament was number
- 9:31Speaker 6: ninety nine. Johnston's shot Mullins is just above them because
- 9:35Speaker 6: it was in the Elite eight, not in the first round.
- 9:37Speaker 6: But those are two of the top four games, and
- 9:40Speaker 6: it's hard to really pinpoint a bunch of other ones
- 9:42Speaker 6: that were memorable.
- 9:43Speaker 5: So the teams last night combined eleven for forty eight
- 9:46Speaker 5: from three, almost the worst ever in a championship game,
- 9:50Speaker 5: which you expect him to be better shooting in the
- 9:52Speaker 5: championip game because it's your second game in that, you know,
- 9:55Speaker 5: with those rims in that backdrop and stuff, but then
- 9:59Speaker 5: there's the extra pressure being a championship game.
- 10:01Speaker 6: Yeah, and you can tell there was there was some uh,
- 10:05Speaker 6: some nerves rolling through both sides early, right, Like it
- 10:08Speaker 6: felt like both sides were clutching it pretty quickly. And
- 10:12Speaker 6: you know, we had the textter earlier on today Saya
- 10:14Speaker 6: turned into some WWE style stuff. Last night. They were
- 10:18Speaker 6: letting them play like it was a physical, physical game,
- 10:21Speaker 6: and it definitely that leaned into what Yukon wanted it
- 10:25Speaker 6: to be, and frankly right drew like kind of how
- 10:27Speaker 6: it had to be for it to stay close. They
- 10:30Speaker 6: had to allow Yukon to turn it into a little
- 10:32Speaker 6: bit of a rugby match, and they definitely did, and
- 10:35Speaker 6: they were able to keep it somewhat close, close enough
- 10:38Speaker 6: to be able to cover. They're laid into the game,
- 10:40Speaker 6: and it was a It's a game in which I'm
- 10:43Speaker 6: again not going to remember a whole hell of a lot.
- 10:46Speaker 6: The bad one is we're gonna have to listen to
- 10:48Speaker 6: these Michigan alumps talk about it all the time for
- 10:51Speaker 6: the next year and a half. And they're quickly becoming
- 10:54Speaker 6: the loudest college fan base. And I don't know if
- 10:57Speaker 6: it becoming maybe they already had been like the loudest,
- 11:01Speaker 6: in your face college fan base, and it's going to
- 11:05Speaker 6: be quite nauseating.
- 11:07Speaker 2: For the next year.
- 11:08Speaker 5: It's their first title since Rameil Robinson right of the
- 11:11Speaker 5: eighty nine I think that was it. They didn't win
- 11:13Speaker 5: with the Fab five and stuff so right, and.
- 11:15Speaker 2: They had lost both of them.
- 11:17Speaker 5: They lost four or five championship games since their nineteen
- 11:20Speaker 5: eighty nine triumph.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Thing.
- 11:21Speaker 6: The one that I remember was the Trey Burke one
- 11:23Speaker 6: right when they played Louisville, and that was a really
- 11:24Speaker 6: really good game and good team, but it didn't They're
- 11:27Speaker 6: a well funded organ operation and for like Dusty made
- 11:31Speaker 6: to stay. I wasn't surprised Drew because again, they just
- 11:35Speaker 6: won the national title and guess what, they're still the
- 11:38Speaker 6: second biggest show in ann Arbor. And you can always
- 11:41Speaker 6: be able to fly just a tick under the radar
- 11:43Speaker 6: in your own spot.
- 11:44Speaker 2: That's a good place to live. That's one if I was.
- 11:46Speaker 6: Going to be the top head coaching candidate, that's where
- 11:48Speaker 6: I would want to stay.
- 11:49Speaker 2: It's a good situation. Are you buying or selling?
- 11:51Speaker 5: And again I will separate this from the three point
- 11:54Speaker 5: shooting that was bad, because that could be anything, but
- 11:56Speaker 5: you're buying her selling that the Final four would be better,
- 12:00Speaker 5: or maybe not playing in stadiums or playing in stadiums
- 12:04Speaker 5: the way they used to the way the Super Dome
- 12:06Speaker 5: used to be, and not the Super the Silver Dome
- 12:08Speaker 5: used to be where they kind of curtain off and
- 12:10Speaker 5: create portable bleachers and stuff to make it a little
- 12:12Speaker 5: bit more intimate. Because I saw a lot of people
- 12:16Speaker 5: posting pictures from the upper tank at Lucas Oil and
- 12:19Speaker 5: saying I paid eight hundred dollars for this seat and I'm,
- 12:23Speaker 5: you know, gonna go watch it in the concourse on
- 12:25Speaker 5: TV because I can't see even the jumbo Tron is
- 12:28Speaker 5: too small for to provide a decent view. You get
- 12:31Speaker 5: eighty percent of the people with is craptastic seats who
- 12:34Speaker 5: are just in the building to be in the building.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Mm hmmm. Is that conducive to a great atmosphere?
- 12:38Speaker 6: I see, I think so, just because, like you know
- 12:41Speaker 6: what you're signing up for. I think, now, unless you
- 12:44Speaker 6: do get that ticket, thinking Drew, oh yeah, I know.
- 12:47Speaker 6: I'm it's like a terrorist level ticket for a Brewers,
- 12:50Speaker 6: But like you already know, the course is gonna be
- 12:52Speaker 6: a much different bead, like I struggle with it be.
- 12:55Speaker 6: And I also, you know, some would say had one
- 12:57Speaker 6: of the weirder spots in the one Final four that
- 12:59Speaker 6: I that I was at, because you were You've been
- 13:02Speaker 6: in those media seats too. You're into the end zone,
- 13:04Speaker 6: you're on the floor level, you're kind of like four
- 13:08Speaker 6: or five hundred feet away, but you're still kind of
- 13:10Speaker 6: you're still at the same level. It's it's a hard view,
- 13:12Speaker 6: but it's the energy, and I struggle to think that
- 13:16Speaker 6: it's gonna meet that same excitement emotion if you put
- 13:21Speaker 6: it in a twenty five thousand seat arena or you know,
- 13:24Speaker 6: like you said, build it off into the corner and
- 13:27Speaker 6: then you got it hollowed out and then into the back.
- 13:29Speaker 2: The noise is kind.
- 13:30Speaker 5: Of curtains and stuff. You could make it more intimately, Yeah,
- 13:34Speaker 5: I just I think you've never given up the revenue though.
- 13:37Speaker 5: They're just not gonna well.
- 13:38Speaker 6: And I don't even know just the revenue side of it.
- 13:40Speaker 6: I just think that the feeling of it is so
- 13:43Speaker 6: intense being in a stadium that I would struggle to
- 13:47Speaker 6: move it away.
- 13:48Speaker 5: To watch a playoff game at Madison Square Garden and
- 13:51Speaker 5: it gets pretty electric, and it's like, yeah, I don't
- 13:53Speaker 5: think you need this stadium?
- 13:54Speaker 2: Is you know, it is different.
- 13:55Speaker 6: But if people are gonna be complaining about the prices,
- 13:58Speaker 6: that's gonna be even tougher for folks when they shrink
- 14:02Speaker 6: it down to twenty thousand people.
- 14:03Speaker 2: In the stands. That's true, That's true. All right, let's
- 14:05Speaker 2: hit us with.
- 14:06Speaker 5: Your buyer sell propositions eight seven seven seven nine seven three, Billy,
- 14:10Speaker 5: what are you buying?
- 14:10Speaker 2: Are selling?
- 14:11Speaker 6: We're buying selling master stuff this weekend? Are you buying
- 14:15Speaker 6: that the Live and PGA tour beefs are completely over?
- 14:20Speaker 6: Because I don't know that anybody even thinks about it.
- 14:23Speaker 6: But you look at the top leader board or the
- 14:24Speaker 6: odds boards. Right now, two of the top four guys
- 14:28Speaker 6: are Lived dudes in Bryson and John Rahm. Rom's playing
- 14:31Speaker 6: tremendous right now. You had Jim Nance kind of getting
- 14:34Speaker 6: taken out of context being like, listen, they're playing. I
- 14:37Speaker 6: don't watch the DP World Tour. I don't watch these others.
- 14:40Speaker 6: I watch the PGA Tour. Is this gone? Is it
- 14:44Speaker 6: a nothing burger? Because Drew I am still thinking it
- 14:47Speaker 6: would be beautiful theater for it to be Rory and
- 14:51Speaker 6: Bryson again on the last in that last pairing there.
- 14:54Speaker 5: On Sunday, I thought the I thought the Live Tour
- 14:57Speaker 5: was gonna go away for a while, you know, I
- 14:59Speaker 5: thought it was It's gonna kind of implode, And.
- 15:02Speaker 6: Instead they're re upping some of these guys to bigger
- 15:05Speaker 6: deals and gonna expand it to seventy two holes, which
- 15:09Speaker 6: I don't know anyone's thought out, because then it's no
- 15:12Speaker 6: longer live.
- 15:14Speaker 2: Right to live was for fifty four.
- 15:18Speaker 6: Right If you go through the Live it was for
- 15:19Speaker 6: the realm of numerals of reaching fifty four. It feels
- 15:22Speaker 6: like a little bit different product. If you're gonna play
- 15:24Speaker 6: seventy two holes. But I had gone to a place
- 15:28Speaker 6: where I had only bet live guys in these events
- 15:31Speaker 6: because I wanted the WWE style drama.
- 15:34Speaker 2: I just don't know that it's necessarily there anymore.
- 15:37Speaker 6: Although you don't get to see John Rahm or Bryson
- 15:40Speaker 6: Deshambeau play a whole lot because I'm not watching the
- 15:42Speaker 6: CW to watch a whole lot of.
- 15:44Speaker 2: Live exactly exactly.
- 15:46Speaker 6: It almost feels National League American League like early days
- 15:49Speaker 6: of inter league play, where you're finally seeing all of
- 15:51Speaker 6: the guys playing.
- 15:52Speaker 5: Back in the day eight seven seven seven seven three.
- 15:56Speaker 2: What else you got hosted up there? Billy?
- 15:57Speaker 6: Are you buying or selling the fact that with the
- 16:01Speaker 6: down cycle or the down conversation of the NFL draft,
- 16:05Speaker 6: are you buying that this is going to be the
- 16:07Speaker 6: least discussed NFL draft for Packers fans in the last
- 16:10Speaker 6: two decades. They haven't had a first round pick gone
- 16:14Speaker 6: into the offseason without their first round pick since the eighties,
- 16:17Speaker 6: almost forty full years since they've gone into the offseason
- 16:20Speaker 6: without their first round pick, and in a year though
- 16:23Speaker 6: that they maybe have more holes to fill in the draft, Drew,
- 16:26Speaker 6: it's hard to feel a whole lot of energy rolling
- 16:30Speaker 6: through or is it just the downside and the come
- 16:34Speaker 6: down effect of the draft not being in our backyard
- 16:36Speaker 6: and it's being so juiced.
- 16:37Speaker 2: Up for it last year.
- 16:38Speaker 5: That's a good good question. I would say, Yeah, this
- 16:43Speaker 5: will be the least scrutinized draft because of the people
- 16:47Speaker 5: have a short attentionpan. Days two and three of the
- 16:50Speaker 5: draft is like, you got to be a real draft
- 16:52Speaker 5: nerd to get excited about that.
- 16:53Speaker 6: Yeah, us that goes enjoy days two and three for
- 16:56Speaker 6: weirder reasons than just the headline in the show.
- 16:59Speaker 2: Yeah, But I don't know.
- 17:00Speaker 6: Do you think it's more of the come down effect
- 17:02Speaker 6: of hosting the draft last year or not having the
- 17:04Speaker 6: first time that compounds it with interest And it's not
- 17:07Speaker 6: like last year we were totally like, oh look at this.
- 17:09Speaker 2: Everybody's the world is attention to us.
- 17:11Speaker 5: Now it's Pittsburgh, and now it's going to be like,
- 17:14Speaker 5: oh yeah, the draft is going on like it's not
- 17:16Speaker 5: like it's not right smacking you in between the face
- 17:20Speaker 5: and leading every newscast and one.
- 17:22Speaker 6: Hundred percent and the the planning of how on earth
- 17:25Speaker 6: are we going to get all these people from inns
- 17:29Speaker 6: from Milwaukee all the way up to Green Bay to
- 17:31Speaker 6: watch the draft. How are we going to shuttle people
- 17:33Speaker 6: in from Kohler And now we're getting a viewpoint here, Drew.
- 17:35Speaker 6: You see those folks right Oh, you just missed it
- 17:37Speaker 6: right there on the field, buying or selling spring football
- 17:40Speaker 6: is in effect because we just got a live shot
- 17:41Speaker 6: of the Carroll Pioneers doing some spring football work out
- 17:44Speaker 6: there on Wi SI. That means man mailfield, Uh, Snider
- 17:48Speaker 6: Schneider's state understand.
- 17:50Speaker 2: Where's the where's the camera on the campus of.
- 17:54Speaker 6: That is right near the top of the new science
- 17:58Speaker 6: building and it is a that's a sweet little observation deck.
- 18:02Speaker 6: They got some couches up there, some some nice furniture,
- 18:05Speaker 6: sort of studdy spot and uh and an incredible view
- 18:08Speaker 6: of the entire Waukesha area. So listen, anytime I get
- 18:11Speaker 6: to see the boys buzz and it's gonna be hard
- 18:13Speaker 6: to keep my attention span.
- 18:14Speaker 2: That's gonna be a squirrel moment. They'll be iced on.
- 18:15Speaker 5: Twelve in Milwaukee has a great network of cameras fixed
- 18:19Speaker 5: around different areas for weather stuff and just like you
- 18:21Speaker 5: could see your piles working out.
- 18:23Speaker 2: It's pretty cool. Their engineer Sean Downs did all those man,
- 18:27Speaker 2: He's He's amazing. Now are you buying or selling?
- 18:30Speaker 6: Uh? As? Jannas said yesterday to Lorie Nickel of the
- 18:34Speaker 6: Milwaukee Journal Center got a great article and a lot
- 18:36Speaker 6: of good answers from Giannis.
- 18:38Speaker 2: Yeah, we got to spin through some of those in
- 18:40Speaker 2: a bit.
- 18:40Speaker 6: She said, do you see a path to come back
- 18:43Speaker 6: and stay here? Yannis answered one, yeah, yeah, Well what
- 18:48Speaker 6: do you need to see? Yanni's expen talked about a
- 18:51Speaker 6: conversation yet with Joe Missoula said, You've had all these
- 18:55Speaker 6: opportunities to make excuses, but you don't.
- 18:57Speaker 2: Joseph, they got really good players, he said.
- 18:59Speaker 6: I said, no, it's about the mentality that you instilled
- 19:02Speaker 6: in the first place. Talked about the head coach of
- 19:04Speaker 6: the Greek national team and the atmosphere that he instilled,
- 19:07Speaker 6: the culture of winning. Said that we're here to bond together,
- 19:11Speaker 6: We're here to figure out ways to win together, no excuses.
- 19:13Speaker 6: Move as a group, and you move as a unit.
- 19:15Speaker 6: So I love that. I won't say that our team
- 19:18Speaker 6: right now is not like that, but maybe I might
- 19:23Speaker 6: be wrong. I don't think I am. I have seen
- 19:26Speaker 6: I have the most years out of anybody in that
- 19:28Speaker 6: locker room. I think that some people know how to win.
- 19:31Speaker 6: Some people don't. It's not because they don't want to win,
- 19:34Speaker 6: it's just because they've never seen and been on that
- 19:37Speaker 6: stage before. Then, he also asked Lori Nichols and this
- 19:40Speaker 6: might be the tougher one, Drew and I think this
- 19:42Speaker 6: is the buyer cell question. As long as it's great
- 19:44Speaker 6: organized basketball and a team that's willing to play selfless
- 19:47Speaker 6: basketball and chase the same goal that's bigger than themselves,
- 19:49Speaker 6: I'll be here. Do you see that with the Bucks?
- 19:53Speaker 6: You've been around what ten years? You tell me what
- 19:55Speaker 6: you see? Are you buying or selling Giannis's one hundred?
- 20:00Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 20:00Speaker 6: Yeah, I definitely see a path back here to stay
- 20:04Speaker 6: in Milwaukee in twenty six twenties.
- 20:05Speaker 5: I do think you know who knows we can't get
- 20:08Speaker 5: inside the head of Buddy the Elf or is he
- 20:11Speaker 5: somewhere between Buddy the Elf and Leannis James.
- 20:14Speaker 6: Or a little bit more Gordon gotch Go. I did
- 20:16Speaker 6: buy some clips yesterday. I have some understanding of it.
- 20:18Speaker 6: I have some understanding of it now.
- 20:21Speaker 5: But Yiannis is he's been adamant that he's loyal to
- 20:24Speaker 5: his team, the city, his teammates and that it's all
- 20:26Speaker 5: about being able to win and he can't control that.
- 20:29Speaker 5: And I still think he'll be traded sometime June, sometime
- 20:33Speaker 5: during Summerfest will be drinking to forget that Yannis is
- 20:36Speaker 5: no longer a buck. But that's just me, that's my outlook.
- 20:39Speaker 5: I'm expecting the worst in this case.
- 20:40Speaker 6: I'm in the same boat, and I think it probably
- 20:43Speaker 6: happens right around trade night, right because I think that
- 20:45Speaker 6: they are gonna want more of the assets to be
- 20:49Speaker 6: available to the team going forward and have him pretty
- 20:53Speaker 6: quickly there. But he did also say he's like, I
- 20:55Speaker 6: will never change, never ever be in a position to
- 20:58Speaker 6: affect somebody's life.
- 20:59Speaker 2: I can't do that. Doesn't go to that.
- 21:01Speaker 6: Sometimes I say my opinion, but I would never push
- 21:05Speaker 6: the button talking about a coaching change or a management change.
- 21:09Speaker 2: That's not who I am.
- 21:10Speaker 6: To me, It's about winning a good system, a system
- 21:13Speaker 6: that can thrive. But I don't care about be myself,
- 21:16Speaker 6: because sometimes in order for you to win, you don't
- 21:19Speaker 6: win in your on your own terms. It's just I
- 21:22Speaker 6: just feel like I'm a part of something bigger. I'll
- 21:26Speaker 6: be chasing something. It didn't sound like he was a
- 21:29Speaker 6: didn't sound very confident in the folks that are calling
- 21:31Speaker 6: the shots potentially here at Milwaukee, not particularly No.
- 21:34Speaker 5: Eight seven seven seven nine four one ninety seventy three.
- 21:37Speaker 5: We're buying and selling today. Hunter Bamger joined us at
- 21:40Speaker 5: seven o'clock with a Brewer's breakdown for us and Scott
- 21:43Speaker 5: Dolphin's going to be in next our halftime correspondent. Interesting
- 21:46Speaker 5: halftime interview yesterday with Tracy Wolfson at the NCAA Championship game.
- 21:51Speaker 6: Maybe the most honest I've ever heard an athlete twenty
- 21:53Speaker 6: minutes away from a title.
- 21:55Speaker 5: It was fantastic. Scott Dolphin is in next. It's the huddle.
- 21:58Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin Andrew Wilson, Bill Schmid, Dave Gasperus
- 22:05Speaker 5: in for armand Sarion and since its halftime, we welcome
- 22:08Speaker 5: Scott Dolphin from the country station down the hall.
- 22:09Speaker 2: Hello Dolph, shout out to day.
- 22:11Speaker 1: By the way, He's nice enough to walk all the
- 22:13Speaker 1: way down to my studio to say, sir, you're you're time.
- 22:16Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well I gotta get my steps in, Dolphin.
- 22:18Speaker 5: You know, Yeah, I love it, Dave, thank that's a
- 22:21Speaker 5: fantastic Hey, Dolph, it's election Day and I think we've
- 22:23Speaker 5: all agreed to that. With an overwhelming overwhelming majority of
- 22:27Speaker 5: the people agree that Wilson Contraras is a d bag
- 22:30Speaker 5: and he's near the top of hated enemies in the
- 22:32Speaker 5: state of Wisconsin.
- 22:34Speaker 2: The guy has always been surly. I mean, that's just
- 22:36Speaker 2: kind of who he is. Right.
- 22:37Speaker 1: In fact, what yellie to say? We've been watching this
- 22:39Speaker 1: skit for ten years. Yeah, that's who he is. That's
- 22:43Speaker 1: just who he is. Even I love William. Somebody asked him,
- 22:46Speaker 1: did you try to, you know, calm him down as
- 22:48Speaker 1: you're walking him down to first base? He said, I tried,
- 22:50Speaker 1: but you know, that's just who he is. Good luck,
- 22:52Speaker 1: good luck.
- 22:53Speaker 2: That is awesome.
- 22:54Speaker 6: Though, when when williams like this, I'm not I'm not
- 22:56Speaker 6: gonna say an it's gonna calm him down.
- 22:58Speaker 2: What do you guys expect me to do?
- 22:59Speaker 5: I uh, you know the fact that William was traded
- 23:03Speaker 5: by Atlanta and we see how good he is here,
- 23:05Speaker 5: and it's like, you wonder if he is, in some
- 23:08Speaker 5: ways in his career at least earlier was paying.
- 23:10Speaker 2: For the sins of his brother. People thought, oh, he's
- 23:13Speaker 2: going to be like his brother.
- 23:14Speaker 5: Good day away from this dude, like who else You
- 23:16Speaker 5: look at the Braves like I would have kept him.
- 23:20Speaker 2: Oh, of course when he throws runners out and did
- 23:23Speaker 2: he win a ring with.
- 23:24Speaker 6: Them or he was their d h that year that
- 23:27Speaker 6: they Yeah, And and the the funny thing is Drew,
- 23:30Speaker 6: like you mentioned, the way he throws out runners, the
- 23:31Speaker 6: way he can frame. I feel like a lot of
- 23:33Speaker 6: that ended up getting taught when once he got here,
- 23:36Speaker 6: because the skepticism was he's like, yeah, he's only going
- 23:38Speaker 6: to be a hitter, He's not going to be able
- 23:40Speaker 6: to catch. And now he's one of the better defensive
- 23:42Speaker 6: catchers in ball. Brewers do a good job with that.
- 23:43Speaker 6: Charlie Green is their guy, and he does a really
- 23:47Speaker 6: good job with those.
- 23:48Speaker 2: But there was there was a lot of doubt.
- 23:49Speaker 6: And I mean Atlanta, it's not like it was a
- 23:51Speaker 6: money conversation, but they went and grabbed Murphy, who's been okay.
- 23:55Speaker 6: But the Brewers, luckily they had the they had the ticket,
- 23:58Speaker 6: they had a story. Ruie's who you needed to be
- 24:01Speaker 6: able to get into that conversation to be able to
- 24:03Speaker 6: pull William Contreras out and that that's been a home run.
- 24:06Speaker 1: I mean, it's just typical. It's what you expect from
- 24:08Speaker 1: this front office. But you know, this is a guy
- 24:11Speaker 1: Wilson Contreras, who's been like this since he was a cub.
- 24:14Speaker 1: When he first came up, we thought, now, there's just
- 24:16Speaker 1: something different about this dude.
- 24:17Speaker 2: Yeah. And by the way, you know it's it's it's
- 24:19Speaker 2: the age old story.
- 24:20Speaker 1: You crowd the plate, you're gonna get you're gonna get
- 24:22Speaker 1: nicked out one hundred and twenty five times.
- 24:24Speaker 5: I thought Caleb Durbin's perspective was interesting. He's just like
- 24:27Speaker 5: it because Caleb Durbin saw it from the other side.
- 24:29Speaker 5: It's like, yeah, he's like he's one of those dudes
- 24:32Speaker 5: that when you play with him, you love him, and
- 24:33Speaker 5: when you're playing against you, you hate his guts. He
- 24:36Speaker 5: hated them last year. Yeah, absolutely, So how interesting is
- 24:40Speaker 5: it though? Here the Brewers they're kind of mirroring each other.
- 24:43Speaker 5: Brewers like what eight and two, Yeah, yeah, eight and
- 24:47Speaker 5: two again, and the Red Sox are two and eight
- 24:49Speaker 5: and people go from let's go socks to sell the.
- 24:51Speaker 2: Team to John Henry.
- 24:53Speaker 5: John Henry was there last night, Oh my god, so,
- 24:55Speaker 5: oh my god. It's like those are beautiful shots, aren't they.
- 24:58Speaker 5: Oh well, when they I have a chan of sell
- 25:01Speaker 5: the team and then they're able to get the owner
- 25:03Speaker 5: on camera, just trying to shield themselves, shrinking it down.
- 25:07Speaker 2: Trying to do a Homer Simpson uncomfortable.
- 25:10Speaker 5: So last night's doubleheader was Brewers Red Sox into Michigan
- 25:14Speaker 5: and Yukon and a tough night for New England fans
- 25:17Speaker 5: all around, right point Red Socks and the Huskies. But
- 25:21Speaker 5: since it's buyer sell Tuesday here we alluded to Election Day.
- 25:25Speaker 5: But buyer are selling the fact that when you watch
- 25:27Speaker 5: a Brewis game this year that the picture seems sharper
- 25:30Speaker 5: on Brewers TV than it was on fan duel sports,
- 25:33Speaker 5: especially last night.
- 25:34Speaker 2: Last night. It was bright. Last night was really really good.
- 25:36Speaker 1: I'm buying it, and not only for that, but the
- 25:38Speaker 1: fact that they've added the new toys, you know, with
- 25:40Speaker 1: the drone shots over the city, and it's it's it's
- 25:43Speaker 1: a better product.
- 25:44Speaker 6: Now.
- 25:44Speaker 1: I they're taking a bath clearly, right, they lose five million,
- 25:50Speaker 1: Yeah that's pretty brutal, but you know that's the price
- 25:52Speaker 1: you pay for being small market baseball.
- 25:54Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm buying. Definitely looks a lot better.
- 25:56Speaker 6: The funny thing is it's not only them, Like when
- 25:58Speaker 6: when I'm tuning in and seeing the Cardinals be produced
- 26:01Speaker 6: by Major League Baseball. That I mean one of the
- 26:04Speaker 6: biggest local TV packages that there was was always the
- 26:08Speaker 6: Saint Louis Cardinals. And everybody gets collapsed with this main
- 26:11Speaker 6: street sports group, you know, cratering the way they did with.
- 26:14Speaker 2: Braves are another one, right.
- 26:15Speaker 6: Yeah, and Braves, I mean far far gone are the
- 26:18Speaker 6: TVs S days superstations where you're only seeing Braves and
- 26:22Speaker 6: comes Baseball with TBS and WGN.
- 26:24Speaker 2: But I have grown to absolutely love it.
- 26:28Speaker 6: I thought I would, with the ability to flip back
- 26:30Speaker 6: and forth with different games, but it has been the one.
- 26:33Speaker 6: It's the one streamer true that you can then watch
- 26:36Speaker 6: different stuff during commercial breaks, the only one where you
- 26:39Speaker 6: don't have to fully log out, go back to the
- 26:41Speaker 6: home screen, fire up another one, be able to get
- 26:44Speaker 6: back in here. And by the time I fire up Peacock,
- 26:45Speaker 6: I got to go back to Prime to be able
- 26:47Speaker 6: to see the next play.
- 26:48Speaker 1: On the first possession. Good Peacock. That streaming has to
- 26:52Speaker 1: do something. You know, I don't want to get off
- 26:54Speaker 1: on a ramp, but streaming is so far behind when
- 26:57Speaker 1: it comes to certain like Peacock, for example. That's rudimentary. Man,
- 27:01Speaker 1: I'm back and fourth grade again? Where's my getting up?
- 27:04Speaker 1: And changing the channel on the old That's what peacock is.
- 27:07Speaker 1: You know you can't pause live TV? The hell is it?
- 27:09Speaker 5: Twenty twenty six, speaking of an old guy moment forty
- 27:13Speaker 5: five years ago. Yesterday the cover of Sports Illustrated, which
- 27:16Speaker 5: used to be a thing, Billy, you would have loved
- 27:17Speaker 5: it being in the wheelhouse of you know, Sports Illustrated,
- 27:20Speaker 5: like being the Bible.
- 27:23Speaker 1: Now it's becoming a I written Yeah, trash Batts Illustrated.
- 27:26Speaker 5: You'd get that thing on Thursday and it would have
- 27:28Speaker 5: all the big weekend and the great photography, great writing.
- 27:31Speaker 5: But the cover of that on April sixth, nineteen eighty
- 27:35Speaker 5: one was Isaiah Thomas cutting down the net after the
- 27:38Speaker 5: championship game, and it said the champs and it's a
- 27:40Speaker 5: great photo and one of the things you noticed, and
- 27:43Speaker 5: it was retweeted by Darren Ravel. Someone pointed out that
- 27:46Speaker 5: there was no sponsored Warner ladder on the court to
- 27:49Speaker 5: cut down the nets. The fans are holding Isaiah up
- 27:52Speaker 5: as he cuts.
- 27:53Speaker 2: Down the net, but the official ladder of champions.
- 27:57Speaker 5: We had to sell. We had to sell the sponsorship.
- 28:00Speaker 5: You have for the ladder.
- 28:01Speaker 2: That's hilarious. Yes, so that's you know, super we're in
- 28:05Speaker 2: right now.
- 28:05Speaker 5: But it's a kind of gentler time in eighty one,
- 28:07Speaker 5: when the fans just hoisted the guy.
- 28:08Speaker 2: Up to cut the net.
- 28:09Speaker 1: I had forgotten those days, drew when the Big Ten
- 28:12Speaker 1: was a semi regular visitor to the nets cutting down right.
- 28:16Speaker 1: You know, every couple of years you had a Big
- 28:18Speaker 1: Ten champion. Now you've gone a generation and a half
- 28:22Speaker 1: without one until last night.
- 28:23Speaker 5: In the era of nil, we have the national championship
- 28:28Speaker 5: in football and basketball resides in the Big Ten, along
- 28:30Speaker 5: with women's basketball, women hockey, hopefully men Tackey in this weekend,
- 28:35Speaker 5: and then we will, you know, we'll establish our dominance.
- 28:39Speaker 2: And you take a second, SEC.
- 28:41Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I mean the tides have turned and the
- 28:44Speaker 1: SEC is not going to be that conference anymore now
- 28:47Speaker 1: they're just that conference down south, right.
- 28:49Speaker 6: But do we got a chance to win the College
- 28:51Speaker 6: Baseball World Series too? They are a Big Ten team
- 28:54Speaker 6: that's got a chance to sneak in there, so we
- 28:55Speaker 6: can dominate the spring as well.
- 28:56Speaker 4: Maybe the probably yeah, maybe maybe oh wait u c
- 29:01Speaker 4: l a yeah, certainly the chance I forget, I keep
- 29:04Speaker 4: forgetting that they're big ten now. But yeah, u c
- 29:06Speaker 4: l A arguably the top team in the country. Okay,
- 29:09Speaker 4: they got the number one overall pick in the draft
- 29:11Speaker 4: this year. Roch Cholowski. Uh, he's just an absolute stud. No,
- 29:16Speaker 4: his name is roch r o c h rach Cholowski. No,
- 29:21Speaker 4: it's only one individual Thursday night. Yeah, not being a
- 29:27Speaker 4: classic l.
- 29:29Speaker 5: Seventeen series on Thursday Night.
- 29:33Speaker 2: I know him oh buying the first two because he
- 29:37Speaker 2: had he had a he had a turn. Yeah. I
- 29:39Speaker 2: thought that's funny.
- 29:42Speaker 6: Thanks so much for pulling a Chilaski Chilowski Klaski.
- 29:47Speaker 2: Wow, that is that is what? What was that stand up? That?
- 29:50Speaker 1: That's that that U c l A won two? They
- 29:53Speaker 1: had double aces a while ago and they both ended
- 29:55Speaker 1: up being big time Garrett Cole and Trevor Bower. That
- 29:58Speaker 1: was a pretty good one too.
- 30:00Speaker 2: That works out. Pretty pretty good rotation, Yeah, pretty good rotation.
- 30:03Speaker 6: I saw Trevor Bauer getting hitting the face with one
- 30:06Speaker 6: of his comebackers on his YouTube page.
- 30:09Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, I saw that. He's now back back
- 30:11Speaker 4: in America. He's an indie ball with the Long Island Ducks.
- 30:15Speaker 2: Holy cow, he's an internet YouTube sensation. Yeah, and only
- 30:19Speaker 2: there and a sensation in his own mind. I was
- 30:21Speaker 2: going to say, and in his own mind, he's one
- 30:23Speaker 2: of the best of all time.
- 30:25Speaker 5: So, Dolf, what's your take on the tournament as a whole?
- 30:29Speaker 5: We were kicking around the idea that last game. Last
- 30:32Speaker 5: night's game was ugly, bad shooting, kind of an ugly
- 30:35Speaker 5: and to a great regular season, and I felt like
- 30:37Speaker 5: the tournament was flat after a really good regular season
- 30:40Speaker 5: in college hoops.
- 30:42Speaker 1: Yeah, you know you're you're gonna have fewer the high points.
- 30:45Speaker 1: Sorry Badger fans, but this new format, you just are
- 30:48Speaker 1: You're not going to see the small schools upsetting as
- 30:51Speaker 1: much anymore. It's going to pretty much go chalk because
- 30:54Speaker 1: of nil money. In Michigan, My god, would they give
- 30:57Speaker 1: Yaxle two million dollars?
- 30:59Speaker 2: I heard one point five to two million? Yeah, and
- 31:01Speaker 2: what was it?
- 31:02Speaker 6: Mark Pope was asked like, did you actually offer him
- 31:05Speaker 6: seven to nine million?
- 31:06Speaker 2: He's like, listen, I don't know what you guys are
- 31:07Speaker 2: talking about here. We're not these stories. We're not even
- 31:10Speaker 2: going to comment on some of these.
- 31:11Speaker 6: But he was getting high seven figures well, and I
- 31:13Speaker 6: heard I heard they Kentucky spent twenty two million.
- 31:16Speaker 2: This past year.
- 31:17Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true, because nobody knows if
- 31:19Speaker 1: anything's true. But the figure I saw this year or
- 31:21Speaker 1: for twenty twenty six is you better be willing to
- 31:24Speaker 1: spend about twelve million bucks or you're going to be
- 31:26Speaker 1: in trouble. And you wonder at Wisconsin, what what John
- 31:31Speaker 1: Blackwell is going to command once he's out on his own.
- 31:35Speaker 5: Now, yeah, he did this last year too. He did
- 31:38Speaker 5: it last year, but last year it was the the
- 31:40Speaker 5: NBA draft process. This year he's saying stuff like I
- 31:43Speaker 5: want to play for a team that has a chance
- 31:44Speaker 5: to win.
- 31:44Speaker 2: It, he said.
- 31:45Speaker 6: I think he came out pretty quickly and said like,
- 31:48Speaker 6: if I'm going to play in college, I'm going to
- 31:49Speaker 6: play at Wisconsin. But this year it was pretty bluntly
- 31:53Speaker 6: goodbye Wisconsin. I'm getting a body.
- 31:55Speaker 2: But he might he still has an eye on the NBA.
- 31:57Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think I think he's got he's going
- 32:00Speaker 6: to go to the NBA better chance now in the
- 32:02Speaker 6: NBA than he did before. But Drew, this is it's
- 32:04Speaker 6: a good test, like because he'll be right now, he's
- 32:06Speaker 6: the best player in the portal certainly guard, He's the
- 32:10Speaker 6: best guard in the Portal nineteen a game like that,
- 32:13Speaker 6: that's yeah, we'll see how much people are actually willing
- 32:16Speaker 6: to pay in the portal. And this might be the
- 32:17Speaker 6: last year that you can pump a bunch of money
- 32:20Speaker 6: in without it having to go clearing house style.
- 32:23Speaker 2: So I'm interested. That's a great point. He ends up,
- 32:25Speaker 2: he's gonna he's gonna draw huge money.
- 32:27Speaker 1: Look at what he did in big games, not only
- 32:30Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament. He's one of the few guys that
- 32:33Speaker 1: showed out in the in the loss to High Point,
- 32:34Speaker 1: but every other big game they played this year. When
- 32:37Speaker 1: you see Michigan in games like that, the dude was
- 32:40Speaker 1: just rock solid throughout.
- 32:42Speaker 6: He was big, big against Illinois, big against Michigan, both
- 32:45Speaker 6: at their buildings. Both I can assume are going to
- 32:48Speaker 6: be high spenders and potentially uh trying to get John Blackwell, so.
- 32:51Speaker 2: Mike Malone might grab him at UNC. How about that?
- 32:54Speaker 1: Uh, Blackwell's dad played for the ALIGNI, so there's a
- 32:57Speaker 1: connection there. Apparently he was at the final four in
- 33:01Speaker 1: the Illinois section. I saw that on Twitter yesterday. I
- 33:03Speaker 1: don't know if it's true. Well, that sounds about right.
- 33:06Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I'm not gonna do it.
- 33:07Speaker 5: Then it's like, yeah, he might have that personal allegiance,
- 33:10Speaker 5: but it's all about the benjamins, right, So it is
- 33:12Speaker 5: if somebody pays him a dollar more and Wisconsin gotam.
- 33:15Speaker 2: For three years, that's a rarity nowadays, unless.
- 33:17Speaker 5: You go, yeah, that's the thing that's and that's just
- 33:20Speaker 5: the cost of doing business. And it's not an indictment
- 33:23Speaker 5: on Greg gard and the staff. I don't think, no,
- 33:26Speaker 5: I mean it. And now it's funny because college kids
- 33:28Speaker 5: can do that after a year, and Giannis has been
- 33:30Speaker 5: here ten years and one and wants to you know, win,
- 33:34Speaker 5: and and almost like there's less blowback for John Blackwell people,
- 33:37Speaker 5: Oh it's expected, And whereas Giannis he has.
- 33:40Speaker 2: To stay here. He said that he loves Milwaukee. He's
- 33:43Speaker 2: yeah a little bit. Yeah.
- 33:44Speaker 6: And it's it's interesting too, Drew, because like the difference
- 33:48Speaker 6: with Giannis is at least, you know what, over three
- 33:50Speaker 6: hundred million dollars been put into his pocket, right, So like,
- 33:53Speaker 6: if you're gonna scrape around for the next four or
- 33:55Speaker 6: five million, people, come on, what's five million amongst friends?
- 33:58Speaker 6: But when you're when you're John Blackwell and you're entering
- 34:01Speaker 6: a spot where am I going to make more money
- 34:03Speaker 6: in college basketball than I would going to the NBA.
- 34:06Speaker 6: That's gonna be one of the best studies to be
- 34:08Speaker 6: able to see of this NILA.
- 34:09Speaker 5: And the clarion call of playing in Uzbekistan or Turkey
- 34:13Speaker 5: or Lithuania or Spotif just as those places.
- 34:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you stay in school.
- 34:20Speaker 5: Now, Michigan did benefit, like they had, you know, a
- 34:23Speaker 5: couple of rules of guys getting extra time, the juco's
- 34:26Speaker 5: and like the.
- 34:27Speaker 6: You know, they were able to negotiate it and team
- 34:29Speaker 6: it up, no doubt about it. And they also went
- 34:31Speaker 6: international and I think that was like, yeah, full Illinois
- 34:35Speaker 6: Baltics team that ended up running to the final four.
- 34:38Speaker 6: But both all teams that were represented did have international players.
- 34:43Speaker 6: And that's the one Drew like, when you start talking
- 34:45Speaker 6: about playing internationally, the college players going over there is
- 34:48Speaker 6: one and the American players is a part of it.
- 34:51Speaker 6: But the international guys who would have been in those
- 34:54Speaker 6: developmental programs saying hey, I can go make more money
- 34:56Speaker 6: in America playing college hoops. There's a ton of those,
- 35:00Speaker 6: and that that pipeline is not stopping at those.
- 35:02Speaker 1: Wisconsin got one yesterday who would average eleven points a
- 35:05Speaker 1: game in the NBL, that's a pretty good league. And
- 35:09Speaker 1: now he's coming to Madison.
- 35:10Speaker 5: Yeah, so this tournament again, I don't know, Maybe it's
- 35:14Speaker 5: just maybe it'll never be as good as I remember it.
- 35:16Speaker 5: I still enjoyed it. I enjoyed last night even though
- 35:19Speaker 5: it was a rock.
- 35:20Speaker 2: Enjoyed it.
- 35:21Speaker 1: Yu Khan did what Yukon does. That they said they
- 35:23Speaker 1: want to play, they want to play Big East basketball,
- 35:26Speaker 1: and man, that muddy it up. That game was muddy.
- 35:29Speaker 1: But wow, just watching the freaking defensive effort on both ends,
- 35:33Speaker 1: those guys flying through the air getting boards last night.
- 35:36Speaker 2: I know that.
- 35:37Speaker 5: I know that the boys in Vegas, the people at
- 35:39Speaker 5: the Circus sports book and the sportsbook, our buddy Arman too,
- 35:42Speaker 5: they were living and dying and hanging with it. But
- 35:45Speaker 5: was that not like the world's most lopsided six point game?
- 35:50Speaker 2: You know it was?
- 35:51Speaker 3: It was not.
- 35:52Speaker 2: It was the right side. I'm for sure they were.
- 35:55Speaker 5: But I was getting a little concerned when Yukont banked
- 35:57Speaker 5: that shot in to make it for already eight seconds left.
- 36:00Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, they can lose this thing.
- 36:03Speaker 2: Is this gonna be.
- 36:03Speaker 5: Another dude, It didn't feel like just there was lopsided.
- 36:06Speaker 5: It was not a six foot It didn't feel like a.
- 36:08Speaker 6: Golf hit it on the head though, when they when
- 36:10Speaker 6: they banked that one in as a Michigan uh six
- 36:13Speaker 6: and a half point better yesterday at the Potawatomy Sportsbook.
- 36:18Speaker 6: That was the moment though, for I said, you know
- 36:19Speaker 6: what varsity app off?
- 36:21Speaker 2: All right?
- 36:22Speaker 6: I don't I know how this is gonna end, and
- 36:24Speaker 6: it's gonna end with me being up for through one
- 36:27Speaker 6: shining moment, griping about this l that I just held
- 36:30Speaker 6: because Drew, you.
- 36:31Speaker 2: Were spot on.
- 36:32Speaker 6: It was the most lopsided non cover that you possibly
- 36:36Speaker 6: could have. When you see the team that says, if
- 36:39Speaker 6: it's got, if it's gonna be close, they're gonna win.
- 36:41Speaker 6: If it's gonna be close, you gun's gonna win. Well,
- 36:43Speaker 6: you know why you gotta say that, because we all
- 36:45Speaker 6: know in our heart of hearts it probably shouldn't be close.
- 36:47Speaker 1: Of course, and it was different last night, Man, I
- 36:49Speaker 1: missed one shining moment? Was it worth staying up for?
- 36:52Speaker 1: I brushed my teeth thus in bed as soon as
- 36:53Speaker 1: the horn sounded.
- 36:54Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. I was uh watching it either,
- 36:56Speaker 5: tapped out. I assume it's on YouTube. My conscientious objector.
- 36:59Speaker 5: I hate the song. I enjoyed a lot more Wilson
- 37:01Speaker 5: Contreras highlightsizle reels this morning than one shining Yeah.
- 37:04Speaker 2: Good point.
- 37:05Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, the ball is tipped there. You are running
- 37:08Speaker 5: for your life for some reason. Yeah there shooting star Baby.
- 37:12Speaker 2: Come on now, assume that was a one hit wonder
- 37:14Speaker 2: whoever wrote this song. It's just a bad poetry, bad poem.
- 37:18Speaker 6: It's not as good a poetry as brew turning up
- 37:20Speaker 6: the heat for the Milwaukee Brewers.
- 37:21Speaker 1: Remember they used to use for the tournament. They used
- 37:23Speaker 1: to use was it the outfield or winning at all?
- 37:26Speaker 1: They tried that for a little while, but people lost
- 37:28Speaker 1: their minds because One Shining Moment has been around, different
- 37:31Speaker 1: versions of it.
- 37:32Speaker 6: I just hate this one shment the Chainsmokers and gets
- 37:35Speaker 6: the chain Smokers in there to redo it and then
- 37:37Speaker 6: maybe it'll be better.
- 37:38Speaker 2: God please no, never again. I love it. The hate nothing.
- 37:42Speaker 1: With all due respect to the Chain Smokers, we do
- 37:44Speaker 1: not need a Super Bowl halftime show in the middle
- 37:47Speaker 1: of the Final four.
- 37:48Speaker 5: I liked it when back when dead Spin was a
- 37:50Speaker 5: thing and they did the dumb Shining Moment and they
- 37:52Speaker 5: did it like with the video Gamelation video game version
- 37:56Speaker 5: of the video game music along with like the low
- 37:59Speaker 5: lights of the turna note that guys like dribbling the
- 38:01Speaker 5: ball off their foot, the guy's air balling free throws
- 38:05Speaker 5: and that was that.
- 38:05Speaker 2: That's my mashup that I got.
- 38:07Speaker 6: By it and I saw the soundtrack could have been

- 40:16Speaker 5: That's gonna be hard to beat. It's it's fantastic. That
- 40:19Speaker 5: is gonna be good. Yeah, rock schedule to appear because
- 40:21Speaker 5: I forgot to confirm yesterday, but I texted Rupert this
- 40:24Speaker 5: morning to make sure that his all at seven point thirty.
- 40:28Speaker 2: But we got that going.
- 40:30Speaker 5: Chris and Lodi ways in on the nicolay lotta com
- 40:34Speaker 5: talking text line regarding John Blackwell. Blackwell is gonna get
- 40:37Speaker 5: his bag since he's not an NBA player, just like
- 40:39Speaker 5: Chuck Hepburn did.
- 40:41Speaker 6: Now, I think Blackwell's more of an NBA player than
- 40:44Speaker 6: I ever saw Chucky being me too, and the the
- 40:47Speaker 6: other part finishes more. Yeah, and black Hepburn got what
- 40:52Speaker 6: one point two allegedly when he went to Louisville. I
- 40:56Speaker 6: didn't think anybody was paying him that, So like that
- 40:58Speaker 6: was the first of the good for you. Go get
- 41:01Speaker 6: the bag that you're being offered because we're not going
- 41:04Speaker 6: to be able to match that and swim in those waters. Blackwell,
- 41:07Speaker 6: to me, does feel like the perfect fringe. I could
- 41:11Speaker 6: totally see him going back into the first round right
- 41:14Speaker 6: and teams being happy with him being a developmental project
- 41:18Speaker 6: and somebody that can finish around the rim and be
- 41:21Speaker 6: an agitator on defense and play a little bit and score.
- 41:24Speaker 6: But he's also going to be one of the most
- 41:27Speaker 6: coveted guys, if not the most coveted player in the portal,
- 41:31Speaker 6: and we just haven't seen We've seen guys start to
- 41:34Speaker 6: make that decision. We saw it a little bit in
- 41:36Speaker 6: the NFL draft this year. Dante More was gonna be
- 41:39Speaker 6: right there with Mendoza for the number one pick. He's like,
- 41:41Speaker 6: you know what, I don't want to do play for
- 41:43Speaker 6: the Jets, So I'm gonna go back to school and
- 41:47Speaker 6: see if I can make just about the same amount
- 41:49Speaker 6: of money I would in my rookie year and get better.
- 41:52Speaker 6: Blackwell is going to have a fascinating conversation up here,
- 41:55Speaker 6: but it clearly is not going to be about him
- 41:57Speaker 6: being a badger in twenty twenty five or twenty six,
- 41:59Speaker 6: twice seven.
- 42:00Speaker 2: All right, Billy, he's going to be hot on the market.
- 42:01Speaker 2: Who's hot? Who's not?
- 42:02Speaker 5: Brought to us by Donovan Jorgenson heating and cooling? Who's
- 42:06Speaker 5: not hot? Do we just look at the Red Sox roster?
- 42:08Speaker 5: How do we succis this one?
- 42:10Speaker 6: There's a lot of Red Sox that are going to
- 42:12Speaker 6: qualify for this award. Trevor Story did have the two RBI,
- 42:15Speaker 6: Otherwise he was gonna find himself in the not category.
- 42:18Speaker 6: But man, let's take a Let's give some credit to
- 42:20Speaker 6: Christian Yellish three or four last night. He's got six
- 42:23Speaker 6: multi hit games already, so hot that it's hard to top.
- 42:28Speaker 6: It's also easier for him to look better on the
- 42:30Speaker 6: base paths when Roman Anthony not hot with the glove
- 42:33Speaker 6: last night? Oh I like that tending that throw to
- 42:35Speaker 6: the backstop. But Lett the Brewers get that huge insurance, right.
- 42:38Speaker 6: I remember Yellowchin kirking a few throws like that a
- 42:40Speaker 6: few years ago. Yeah, it did definitely look a little Christian.
- 42:43Speaker 2: Yelling definitely improved. But who's hot, Who's not?
- 42:45Speaker 6: Donovan Jorgensen Heating and Cooling, offering zero percent financing for
