• 2:04
  Get b that schedule. I think it's ten to four and or five.
• 2:07
  Excuse me, but we will get that going through the day. B
• 2:12
  Before I get going here, it sounds like everything is good and your aggravation
• 2:15
  level is up prior to March Madness. How are you? Oh, I'm
• 2:19
  fine. So let's get into it here. As the SEC announces the expected
• 2:25
  eight game schedule for the twenty twenty five season in football, schools will play
• 2:30
  the same opponent in twenty twenty five, or opponents that they were scheduled to
• 2:35
  play this year in twenty twenty four, with the site changes for equal home
• 2:38
  and away competition over the course of the two seasons. And remember when the
• 2:42
  conference expansion happened with Texas and Oklahoma jumped into the Southeastern Conference. Question was,
• 2:47
  well, are we going to play we as in the Southeastern Conference eight
• 2:52
  games in the Southeastern Conference or nine in conference? And of course eight was
• 2:55
  the number, and they said it would likely be eight for the second year
• 2:58
  until you get to the television contract where we do in twenty twenty six,
• 3:01
  that's when you will likely see nine. So the SEC just decides to keep
• 3:06
  it simple, stupid, so to speak, And this is what it will
• 3:08
  look like. Now. Obviously you know your schools games this year, so
• 3:12
  it's just gonna reverse. For instance, if you go over to Mississippi State,
• 3:16
  excuse me, their home games next year twenty twenty five will be Georgia.
• 3:21
  This is Southeastern Conference only, Georgia, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Texas.
• 3:23
  That's a pretty darn good home slate, right, I mean, if
• 3:27
  you're talking about value of a ballgame, Georgia coming in, ole Miss,
• 3:30
  coming in Tennessee, coming in in Texas, got to go to Arkansas,
• 3:35
  Florida, Missouri, and Texas A and M. It's not that bad of
• 3:37
  a road swing through the Southeastern Conference either, with the exception of I mean,
• 3:40
  because Florida will likely be in twenty twenty five under a first year head
• 3:46
  football coach a total rebuild. Arkansas will likely be under a first year head
• 3:50
  football coach. Missouri Eli Drinkott Swill, We just don't know. And Texas
• 3:54
  A and M could be the toughest road game. When you look at Ole
• 3:57
  Miss next year, their home slate would be the Arkansas Florida LSU in South
• 4:01
  Carolina. Their road games would be Georgia, Kentucky, Missisippi State and Oklahoma.
• 4:05
  So it gets a little tougher there for Old missonlink Keffington when you're talking
• 4:10
  about Georgia, State and then Oklahoma. Just some notables again to kind of
• 4:15
  flip this and look at it from the other side of the glass, so
• 4:18
  to speak. Alabama's home games next year in twenty twenty five would be LSU,
• 4:21
  Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt, but they would travel to Auburn,
• 4:25
  Georgia, Missouri in South Carolina, Texas who will likely win the national championship
• 4:31
  in twenty twenty five, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, A and M and
• 4:35
  Vanderbilt. That's the home games. Of course, the Oklahoma game is a
• 4:39
  neutral site game. Road games Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Misssippi State.
• 4:43
  So you can find that that has been put out by Ross Ellinger and several
• 4:46
  people in the media. I retweeted it on x Just go to Twitter or
• 4:51
  x now and at Jake wim All right, let's see here other notes that
• 4:57
  are out there. Early on, we're gonna get to a lot of March
• 4:59
  badness. ESPN and College Football Playoff reached agreements, so ESPN continues as rights
• 5:03
  holder to Playoff through twenty thirty one and twenty thirty two. That is official.
• 5:09
  That is now official. Troy Danan, Nebraska athletics director. He is
• 5:14
  the new athletics director for Nebraska's Nebraska finds a replacement in their athletics athletics director
• 5:20
  spot. The PAC twelve negotiated an amended college football Playoff distribution for Oregon State
• 5:27
  and Washington State amongst all of this brew haha over the first few days of
• 5:30
  this week. With the new contracts, that number is at three point six
• 5:34
  million excuse me each annually for twenty six through twenty eight, sources tell Yahoo
• 5:40
  Sports, up significantly from the original figure of three hundred and fifty thousand is
• 5:45
  what they would get. So that is a win for Washington State. That
• 5:47
  is a win for Oregon State, who are still kind of out there in
• 5:51
  never never Land. College footballlaoff had treated Oregon State and Washington State as any
• 5:58
  other independent not named Notre Dame for ukon the distribution numbers now got quite exact,
• 6:04
  but pretty darn close the SEC twenty three million per school once this kicks
• 6:11
  in. This is just off the TV contracts. That's twenty nine percent of
• 6:14
  the share Big the Big ten twenty one million, that's twenty nine percent of
• 6:17
  the share. ACC thirteen point seven million, seventeen point one percent of the
• 6:21
  share, The Big twelve twelve point three, Notre Dame twelve point five and
• 6:29
  then the group of five is one point five million. What's interesting is,
• 6:33
  you know, the Big twelve gets twelve point three million, that's fourteen point
• 6:38
  seven percent of the share. And the way they tally this thing out,
• 6:41
  Notre Dame gets one percent of the share, but it comes out to be
• 6:43
  twelve point five million, So Notre Dame as only Notre Dame could we'll get
• 6:47
  more money by two hundred thousand dollars than the Big twelve altogether, and of
• 6:54
  course the indies that would be the Independent's Yukon three hundred and plus u Con
• 6:58
  three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Statement from ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips and Board
• 7:02
  of Directors chaired Jim Ryan on Clemson's lawsuit. This thing continues to churn,
• 7:06
  and you know, I think again, I told you yesterday this is a
• 7:11
  done deal. It's just how do they get to the end of the road.
• 7:15
  What does this look like? But Jim Phillips had this to say,
• 7:17
  the ACC remains confident that it's agreements with all its members will be affirmed by
• 7:23
  the courts. Clemson, along with all ACC members, voluntarily signed and re
• 7:29
  signed the twenty thirteen and twenty sixteen grant of rights, which is binding through
• 7:32
  twenty thirty six. In addition, Clemson agreed to the process and procedurals for
• 7:38
  withdrawal. The Conference's legal counsel will vigorously enforce the agreement and bylaws in the
• 7:44
  best interest of the ACC's current and incoming members. So what is Jim Phillips
• 7:47
  saying here? Basically that Clemson can go to Hell and they're going to pay
• 7:51
  their money and they're going to stay in there. So what it's going to
• 7:54
  happen is Clemson. Let me see what was that guy's name, Let me
• 8:03
  say, George Klaviakov. What is going to happen is Jim Phillips is about
• 8:07
  to George Klaviakov, who, with George Klaakov, was the commissioner of the
• 8:11
  PAC twelve and crashed it, crashed it. Jim Phillips, who has got
• 8:16
  to be somewhere in the lineage tree of Klavikov because he has made some dumb,
• 8:22
  dumb statements, dumb statements over the years. He's the one who initiated
• 8:28
  if you remember, Jim Phillips was the commissioner of the ACC, was the
• 8:33
  one who initiated the alliance with the Big Ten, the ACC and the PAC
• 8:37
  twelve back in twenty twenty one, when they wanted to come to an agreement
• 8:41
  to expand the playoff and when everything was still intact and have a different rev
• 8:46
  share model, he said, no, no, we're not doing that.
• 8:48
  He said, we're putting our foot down into the ACC. We need a
• 8:52
  peer review of one year on this thing. We are not ready for expansion.
• 8:56
  So they joined forces with the Big ten and with the PAC twelve.
• 9:00
  Oklahoma and Texas comes over, and then USC and UCLA leave, the Big
• 9:05
  ten swallows the Pike twelve. The ACC was left on an island. Jim
• 9:09
  Phillips is about to bury the ACC officially, and he is going to George
• 9:13
  clavicoff that entire conference six O one eight eight, five three seven seven six.
• 9:18
  That is the Molon roofing CALLI line. A couple more notes here here
• 9:22
  in segment number one. Today was Caleb Williams pro day. Today was his
• 9:26
  pro day, and if you looked at any of this, the biggest clip
• 9:31
  of the day from the NFL network ended his pro day with a rocket throw
• 9:35
  and then a punt. This is very similar to what was the guy's name,
• 9:43
  I cannot remember who was the Tennessee quarterback beaver that lived on the highlights.
• 9:50
  I am trying to think and it was just last year. That is
• 9:52
  where my brain is. Joe Milton. Joe Milton third. So this is
• 9:58
  very reminiscent of Joe Milton and seventy yard throw at demanding passing a camp.
• 10:01
  So but people are, you know, all losing their mind about Kaylyn wh
• 10:05
  we with Pro Day today, we'll see what happens. Also, the Raiders
• 10:07
  or Rams are giving new backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo a one year contract with the
• 10:13
  base value of four point five million. Sources say this is all including a
• 10:16
  two game suspension. He has a max value of twelve million based on incentives.
• 10:22
  It's complicated, but those are the basics. Courtesy of Ian Rappaport and
• 10:26
  one more note here, Mike Garfellow reports it's never too early to make impression
• 10:30
  on NFL teams. Quinn, you rs Texas quarterback for this year. We'll
• 10:33
  throw at Texas's Pro Day today, which that has probably already happened or happening
• 10:37
  right now. A year of a year ahead of one hill jockey for a
• 10:41
  position in the twenty twenty five NFL Draft, so coaches and scouts can get
• 10:45
  an advanced look. That's actually not a bad idea. So Quinn you were
• 10:48

• 12:41
  let me get in on a couple o of these notes here Quinn Yours
• 12:46
  is throwing today. Oklahoma running back coach DeMarco Murray is staying with Norman and
• 12:52
  Norman after being tied to the Ohio State opening because Ohio State was looking for
• 12:56
  a running backs coach. So the Sooner's offered Mary a new year, a
• 13:00
  new three year deal in the contract and he will stay at Oklahoma. So
• 13:03
  that's a win for Oklahoma and Ohio State will cotinue to look for a running
• 13:09
  backs coach. Jesse Simonton of On three believes Missouri has the makeup of a
• 13:15
  college football playoff continuing in twenty twenty four. Now a lot of people are
• 13:18
  going to say this about Missouri. I think they're definitely in the conversation.
• 13:22
  I have Missouri going eight and four with a chance to go to nine and
• 13:24
  three. Missouri, he says, Missouri schedule where the football gods smiled on
• 13:30
  the Tigers. There's no Georgia, no Texas, no Ole, mess or
• 13:31
  LSU. And if you go back and look at this Missouri schedule four this
• 13:37
  year, they open up with Murray State and then Buffalo and then they'll play
• 13:41
  Boston College all at home. Then they hit their first SEC ball game at
• 13:46
  home against Vanderbilt, So they should run out to a four game, four
• 13:50
  to oh stretch. On the first four games, they'll play at Texas A
• 13:52
  and M and then make a rare trip to UMass and then return home to
• 13:56
  play Auburn before playing Alabama on the road, Oklahoma at South Carolina, at
• 14:01
  Mississippi State in Arkansas. So it's it's a front half that is very manageable
• 14:07
  and it's a back half that you know, when we talk about hosting Auburn,
• 14:11
  how good is Auburn going to be? I mean, this is an
• 14:13
  Auburn team under Hugh Freeze I think is still a work in progress. This
• 14:16
  was a team that got Bowl eligible last year. However, they were just
• 14:20
  on the cusp of beating Georgia and should have beat Alabama. Having to go
• 14:24
  to Alabama is going to be a very tough task. You would think,
• 14:28
  you know that late into the season. I mean you're on the back half
• 14:30
  of the schedule. Whatever Kaitlyn de Boris team is going to be, it
• 14:33
  will absolutely be then at that point, hosting Oklahoma, going to South Carolina
• 14:37
  Missippi State back to back, you know, and if we look back at
• 14:41
  Missouri. And the thing about Missouri is, I don't think Missouri is just
• 14:46
  a pie in the sky pick. I don't think there's a you know,
• 14:48
  a lot of fluff. We talked about the potential fluff with Ole miss and
• 14:52
  I don't think it's there like it was in recent years. I think it's
• 14:54
  legitimate. But Missouri, there is a little cause for concern. They is
• 15:00
  if you're talking about college football playoff, there's calls for concern because the average
• 15:03
  ride at thirty three points a game, but they gave up twenty one points
• 15:05
  a game. And that twenty one points on defenses is right on that line
• 15:09
  to where it's gonna have to shore that defense up just a little bit.
• 15:16
  You know. You look at the wins that they had. People forget this.
• 15:20
  They only beat Middle Tennessee State last year by four points, twenty three
• 15:24
  to nineteen. They escape now a good win nonetheless against Kansas State, a
• 15:28
  three point ball game. They won by seven against Memphis, so three ball
• 15:33
  games there in a row. After it went over South Dakota State, I
• 15:37
  mean they could have easily flipped that and went the other way. They had
• 15:41
  a two point win against Florida, so I mean four of their ball games
• 15:45
  could have swung the other way. And what I've always said, typically when
• 15:48
  you have that many games that are a touchdown or less that go to one
• 15:52
  side, it's going to go to the other side the next year. I
• 15:56
  can't tell you why we'll call it Beaver's law. I have no idea,
• 16:00
  but typically that's the way it goes. Red zone offense was really good,
• 16:03
  red zone defense was not so good. So there's a lot that Missouri is
• 16:08
  going to have to fix. I figured that they're going to be in some
• 16:11
  one possession ball games, and they're going to be they're gonna lose those where
• 16:14
  they want them last year. That's why I do not have Missouri in the
• 16:17
  playoff, and I've got actually Tennessee in the playoff in lieu of Missouri with
• 16:22
  its twenty eight page complain. I'll get into this a little later on file
• 16:26
  against the ACC. Clemson has all but notified the Conference of plans to seek
• 16:30
  a new home. What happens to the seventy year old league. Will ESPN
• 16:33
  decline it to opt in for the final nine years of the TV deal?
• 16:37
  Talking about the TV deal for the ACC, So if if Clemson and that's
• 16:42
  the thing if Clemson gets out, which it sounds right now like both Clemson
• 16:48
  and Florida State are on their way out. I mean, it's just a
• 16:49
  matter of buttoning up the you know whatever. However this lawsuit's gonna work.
• 16:53
  Whatever, how they're going to pay this off or come to a deal in
• 16:56
  agreement. If ESPN and looks at that ACC deal and says, h,
• 17:03
  we're not doing this. Because remember we talked about it yesterday. If you
• 17:04
  missed it, there's an infograph out there in the ACC Florida State, Clemson
• 17:11
  and then Notre Dame. And the reason Notredamus is because they play predominantly in
• 17:15
  ACC football schedule as far as a conference schedule. Now, they'll play the
• 17:18
  Armies and Navies, and they'll play USC and Stanford, they'll play you know,
• 17:22
  an out of conference game of sorts, even though it's an independent like
• 17:25
  this year down at Texas and m but they play predominantly in it, you
• 17:26
  know, five six seven games inside the ACC every year. If those three
• 17:32
  teams, well, if Notre Dame or Florida State and Clemson two opponents that
• 17:37
  Notre Dame will play not every year, but they do play them, you
• 17:40
  know, ever so often go to another league. Then Notre Dame's going to
• 17:42
  play them, and they'll be in the other league. That television contract is
• 17:45
  going to go to garbage. And at that point SEE goes to garbage.
• 17:51
  Not only would they lose all the exposure from Clemson in Florida State, they're
• 17:53
  going to lose the TV dollars, which means because of the look in claus
• 17:57
  that Greg Sankee of the SEC and Tony Pettio of the Big Ten put into
• 18:02
  the new contract, they will look into this and go, well, it's
• 18:04
  time to reevaluate this because the ACC is not what it was when we signed
• 18:07
  on. This is an inferior product. It is a phony product to what
• 18:14
  they brought to the table. Then we're going to renegotiate this thing quickly.
• 18:17
  The ACC will get basically cast out of the whole thing, and the conference
• 18:22
  is going to crash and teams are going to scatter like a bunch of cockroaches.
• 18:26
  Chrishmmer puts a college football spin on March Madis with twelve teams that could
• 18:30
  make a cinderella run to the college football Playoff'll get into a little bit of
• 18:33
  that also two four seven sports dot Com they said the next phase of college
• 18:38
  football realignment could be imminent, and where they think some of these teams.
• 18:45
  Brad Crawford said, make go. So let's just assume and he's got three
• 18:48
  six nine of the teams that participate in the ACC, one of them being
• 18:52
  Notre Dame. So in this instance, if Florida State and Clemson dow Bolt,
• 18:59
  he has Notre Dame is still an independent. Oddly, he has Miami
• 19:03
  heading to the Big twelve, Florida State to the Big Ten, Virginia to
• 19:10
  the Big Ten. Again, all this is speculation, Clemson to the SEC,
• 19:14
  North Carolina to the SEC, North Carolina State to the Big twelve,
• 19:19
  and then Duke and Virginia Tech to be determined. And I would say,
• 19:22
  if that's the case, probably Virginia Tech to the SEC and then maybe Duke
• 19:26
  to the Big Ten just because of the academic requirements and they fit more in
• 19:29
  line with your Northwesterns and Illinois of the world then they do your you know,
• 19:33
  Kentucky's as far as academics are concerned. In South Carolina's six one eight,

  This is a big time of year for us. It's fantastic, It
• 21:22

• 21:40
  much better than the next three weeks, you know. So and and with
• 21:41
  college, you know, is there's always the underdog story that's out there,
• 21:48
  and there's and their kids right there, you know, a chance to shine
• 21:52
  and uh and and it's you know, it's it's kind of like when I
• 21:56
  watched the Little League World Series. You get gives you a woman fuzzy,
• 22:00
  you know what I mean, you know, I like seeing an underdog story
• 22:03
  go out there and do good. And you know they're not making millions of
• 22:08
  dollars yet, well I don't. Well now, so some of them are
• 22:15
  right now they are, but you know, yeah, I and you know
• 22:18
  it gives you a chance to all these cool storylines. Like I heard a
• 22:22
  cool one this morning. Jake So the coach for Grand Canyon. His brother
• 22:30
  coaches Baylor. Oh geez, what's his name? Bryce Drew? Yes,
• 22:40
  right, his brother coaches and his dad was a coach. Dad Dad coach
• 22:45
  Valparaiso, Dad coach Bryce at Valparaiso in ninety eight when Bryce hit a game
• 22:52
  winner. Bryce hit a game winner with two seconds left to beat Ole,
• 22:59
  miss Yeah. I can promise you people in the state of Mississippi remember that.
• 23:03
  Yeah. Uh. One of my one of my regulars, Mike,
• 23:07
  was telling me the story like it happened yesterday, and ed turns out that
• 23:14
  Bryce he made it to the pros. I guess he was. He was,
• 23:17
  you know, he'd get a lot of playing time. He's playing for
• 23:19
  Atlanta or he's no wait, wait, I'm not sure, but I think
• 23:22
  they were at Atlanta and one of the cheerleaders. Uh he recognized, he
• 23:26
  goes miss, she looks familiar. It turns out she was a cheerleader from
• 23:30
  all Miss. How about that? And they're married. But I guess it
• 23:33
  took him a while to get accepted by the family because he hit the shot
• 23:37
  over all miss and big Yeah. That makes holidays a little a little tough
• 23:41
  there, a little tough there, all right? So what all was going
• 23:45
  on here? Because I see a big table full of prizes. I see
• 23:48
  a lot going on. You guys have a lot to a lot for the
• 23:51
  public here. It's madness. It's madness, Jake, right, So all
• 23:56
  during the month of March and actually in a few days into April up until
• 24:02
  the drawing. We're gonna have a drawing for all these cool prizes, and
• 24:06
  that'll be on Saturday night of the final four. And so I go to
• 24:08
  that that is that's April sixth, right, and so we're giving away.
• 24:14
  Oh, we've got one of the top of the line weed whackers over there,
• 24:18
  a bunch of tools. There's you know, drills and saws and then
• 24:23
  but the Krim de la Krim is that big seventy TV right there. Absolutely
• 24:29
  yeah, So all you have to do is use your pen play card.
• 24:33
  Come down, make a bet on your pen play card every one hundred dollars.
• 24:38
  Now you don't have to bet one hundred a once. You know,
• 24:41
  every ten, every dollar adds up, and when you get to one hundred
• 24:42
  dollars, you get an entry into our drawing. So every one hundred bucks
• 24:47
  that you wager during the month of March and that first week of April is
• 24:51
  gonna gain you an entry into our drawing. And all you have to do
• 24:56
  is be here Saturday night, April sixth when we do the drawing and you
• 25:00
  get one of those cool prizes right there. No, it's gonna be fun.
• 25:02
  You get down here, and if you don't have a pen play card,
• 25:03
  make sure that you absolutely get Oh yeah, so our team we're more
• 25:07
  than happy to set anybody up with a pen play card that needs one,
• 25:11
  you know, great advantage to having to pin down along with all the cool
• 25:15
  perks about getting you know, complimentary items. If you lose your ticket,
• 25:21
  we can look it up for you on your pen play card and that you
• 25:23
  know, and then when I went and we'll talk about this and bet my
• 25:26
  future earlier for the tournament, and then I put another ten team parlay in.
• 25:30
  I made sure obviously to give in my car because I am prone.
• 25:33
  I have lost tickets and futures, yes, you know futures. Now you
• 25:37
  got to hold on to that bad boy for a year. Yeah, you
• 25:40
  know, well football future sure, and so yeah, you know, anything
• 25:44
  could happen. We've had guy didn't lose it, but he left it in
• 25:47
  his car and the sun faded it to where it was unrecognizable. You know,
• 25:51
  so things happen. You know, kids spill stuff, you know,
• 25:56
  any guy. We had a guy come down. He left it in his
• 26:00
  pants, and I guess his missus washed his pants and then washed the ticket.
• 26:03
  You know. We had a guy come in and it was in all
• 26:07
  these little bitty pieces. Well he thought he had a loser, but he
• 26:11
  didn't. Started ripping it up a little early, and then they made an
• 26:14
  awesome comeback, and then we had to kind of put it back together for
• 26:18
  But yeah, use your Penn play card. Got plenty of cool prizes and
• 26:22
  and but if by chance you happen to lose the ticket, we can look
• 26:26
  it up for you. Very good. Keith Hardy on your radio Wednesay edition,
• 26:27
  the programmer to Maris Stark casino get out and see us as it's kind
• 26:32
  of calm before the storm here. I'm sure the action though, I mean,
• 26:34
  at least, you know, you talked about last week conference championship weekend
• 26:37
  or week. I'm sure that was very, very, you know, heavily
• 26:41
  trafficked down here. And then of course you're talking about coming into this week
• 26:44
  from probably today, Ford, it's just gonna be ol. Right, you're
• 26:48
  gonna notice it, Jake, as the show goes on, You're going to
• 26:49
  see it start to build up in here, because yesterday at six o'clock,
• 26:52
  we had all kinds of action on the n I T. You know,
• 26:56
  guys in here betting on Wagner. Yeah, you know, he's got a
• 26:59
  two playing game tonight, right right, right, so they're playing games.
• 27:02
  Uh, there's uh, there's n I T. You know, and hey,
• 27:06
  let's not forget about the ladies. Yeah, the ladies are playing,
• 27:08
  so, you know, lots of lots of action. NBA is still going
• 27:11
  on college baseball, right, we're getting ready for the Major League Baseball.
• 27:17
  I mean, the Dodgers really pushed all their chips in the middle man,
• 27:19
  are you seeing? Uh? And is that the Dodgers on the future for
• 27:22
  baseball is that the Dodgers. Let's pull let's pull it up on the bet
• 27:26
  bill of Jake. But it's gotta be so they've got They got Otani,
• 27:32
  you know, the biggest thing since Babe Ruth. You know, a picture
• 27:36
  that can hit home runs. But they went out and got the best picture
• 27:40
  in Japan. Ya'm a mooto and gave him a crazy, crazy contract.
• 27:45
  So uh yeah, So let's our MLB futures have the Dodgers plus three twenty
• 27:51
  five got the Dodgers, Braves, Astros, Yankees, Orioles, Phillies,
• 27:55
  Rangers, and Blue Jays for the for the top six spots there. Let
• 28:00
  me ask you this back to the tournament, I want to kind of chalk
• 28:03
  through this as we go through the show. You know, if you go
• 28:06
  to the bat Builder and you can go to Merristar Casino dot Com, forward
• 28:08
  slash Ficksburg, you go to the end zone of course, grab the bat
• 28:11
  Builder. We want you to do that, and you go to n C
• 28:15
  DOAA basketball. Right. So I'm sorry to cut you off, Jake,
• 28:18
  but I wanted to tell to all your listeners, you're gonna click on basketball
• 28:23
  correct to buy because if you just click on n c a A, it's
• 28:27
  gonna give you the tournament. But if you click on basketball, it'll give
• 28:30
  you the n I T, It'll give you the ladies, it'll give you
• 28:33
  this cb I. You know, so if you click on click on basketball,
• 28:37
  and then that could take you in case you want to go to n
• 28:40
  i T or UH Women's or the College Invitational. But yeah, go,
• 28:45
  I'm sorry, Jake. Go ahead, and you you pull up the NCAA
• 28:48
  tournament, yep, and you look at the futures. You got Yukon still
• 28:52
  sitting. Uh. They were four and a half to one early on the
• 28:56
  bat building early in the week, it's move to four. You've got Houston
• 28:59
  plus five something and you got Purdue at six and a half to unless your
• 29:03
  TOMPs. Now we'll get into this, but I I don't know it's been
• 29:06
  since probably Florida and Billy Donovan to repeat, I gotta go all the way,
• 29:11
  wow, Joe Kim Noah and great basketball you know Dale there, But
• 29:17
  Yukon as good a chance as anybody here recently to do it. Sure,
• 29:19
  right, So they're the odds on favorite. It's tough to do fo to
• 29:23
  So for me, I like the upsets early, but I don't like.
• 29:29
  I don't see any of the one seeds getting an upset. You know,
• 29:33
  I hate it when I fill out my bracket and I get to the end,
• 29:34
  I've got all four number one seeds in the final four. Like you
• 29:37
  know, Hey, a little heavy on the chalk there. But it's the
• 29:41
  teams that win. It are the good teams bu win a tournament, you
• 29:48
  know what I mean. So for me, this group right here, the
• 29:52
  best value that I see is North Carolina. It's the tar Heels. We
• 29:57
  got the tar Hills at sixteen to one. You know, when you're looking
• 30:02
  at all the number ones that are out there, you're you're getting single digits.
• 30:06
  But but but but for Caroline. See like Connecticut four to one,
• 30:12
  but North Carolina is a one seat and there at sixteen to ones. That's
• 30:17
  pretty good value there. Yeah, we're gonna look at that. We'll look
• 30:18
  at some more value as well. We are brought to you by A one
• 30:21
  Geronatto, your hometown vehicle specialist. Anything under the hood six or one nine
• 30:25
  three nine one zero six zero that's your engine, your starter, alternators,
• 30:29

• 30:34
  be back in just a bit. We're at a Maristar Back in a bit.

  We got that and a whole lot more around. Here's the afternoon drive.
• 30:42

• 30:45
  the day on ESPN one O five point nine Zone and online his own one
• 30:49
  O five nine dot com for brought to you by my Lone Roofing Services ecmlone
• 31:12
  dot com is the website eight three three seven Malone Commercial Residential Roofing done right
• 31:18
  with Malone Roofing Services. Keith Hardy with us. We're at AmeriStar Casino,
• 31:21
  will be here till six. Get you set for March. Mattis right now.
• 31:23
  Keith and I are looking at the NFL live on the big screen here.
• 31:27
  Marvin Harrison Junior is not working out at Ohio State Predes. I think
• 31:30
  you were asking where is he gonna go? I mean, look, he's
• 31:33
  off the board in the first hour of the draft. He's the best wide
• 31:37
  receiver in the draft, right, I mean you could say, don't say
• 31:38
  from Washington, you could make that argument, but you know, after you
• 31:42
  get passed and we'll have plenty of time obviously discuss this. But when you
• 31:45
  get past the quarterbacks, which looks like now it's going to be four quarterbacks
• 31:49
  at least by some projections, to go one, two, three, four,
• 31:52
  Wow, Harrison's probably that fifth or six pick, unless you know a
• 31:56
  team that feels comfortable moving up, moving up, or team signed the top
• 32:01
  four. So there will be interesting, all right. And you know he's
• 32:06
  got the pettigree, right, oh of course, right, you know when
• 32:07
  they're just showing his dad there, you know, uh when a word he
• 32:12
  used in his interview humility, right, you know, like this is uh
• 32:15
  and a rarity almost today in today's sports, right, you know, being
• 32:21
  humble, you know when you when you think about like Colorado, right,
• 32:23
  you know, uh, and to you know, you're going to get a
• 32:29
  class act. You're going to get somebody. He's there supporting his teammates.
• 32:31
  Yeah, you know, so that's what you want, you know, So
• 32:35
  somebody that has that background. Oh, there's no doubt about it, no
• 32:39
  doubt about it. All right, So let's jump into this. Let's go
• 32:42
  to the East region that's where Yukon sits, and you know a lot of
• 32:45
  people there's gonna I would say and I don't know that we'll know this once
• 32:49
  the game start kickoff, because that data will come out. It'll churn.
• 32:52
  Fifty percent of the country may pick Ukondo win the whole thing. Maybe it's
• 32:55
  forty percent. I don't know, but I mean a lot of people are
• 32:57
  gonna pick Yukon. When you look in that region, you know Auburn could
• 33:00
  be the one team that could knock them out of that. I mean,
• 33:02
  Auburn has played extremely well all year. Iowa State as a pick that some
• 33:07
  people like, and then you look at some possible cinderellas when you look at
• 33:12
  the East region, what are you saying so right? So you know,
• 33:15
  just in that first round and in the East, I like a lot of
• 33:21
  the chalk in the East. I do have an upset. I got Drake
• 33:24
  upset in Washington State in that one. That's a ten to seven matchup.
• 33:29
  That's I'm not going way out on a limb there. But and I'm big
• 33:35
  on all the eleven spots. Now Ducaine in this one to catch you nine
• 33:39
  and a half. I like them because they're getting so many points because I
• 33:44
  think that's it should be close. But when we look at all the rounds,
• 33:46
  when we look at all of the tournament. I like the eleventh seed
• 33:51
  and all of these. I'll talk about it some more when we get to
• 33:52
  the other rounds. But New Mexico, New Mexico's an eleven playing Clemson,
• 33:58
  who's the sixth, and Xico's the favorite at minus two. Same thing with
• 34:01
  Oregon South Carolina. But in this in this first region, Jake, there's
• 34:06
  a lot of chalk in there. You know, I'm not seeing I like
• 34:09
  Yukon to come out of this. Uh, I've got I've got Yukon,
• 34:15
  and I don't have Auburn going very deep. Me. I think San Diego
• 34:20
  State can get him in the second round. Its possible. And I'm you
• 34:23
  know, like I said, another one is Iowa State. I think they
• 34:28
  can get beaten the second round too. I'm not I'm not big on them,
• 34:31
  but I've got I've got Yukon coming out of this region. Uh.
• 34:36
  It's crazy, you know. And I look for underdogs, but this is
• 34:39
  the one bracket. I don't have a bunch of underdogs. Yeah, no,
• 34:43
  I would say one region. I'm sorry, No, You're right,
• 34:47
  I mean when you look at that region, at least on paper, not
• 34:51
  just as we say that it'll be destroyed, so to speak. But you're
• 34:53
  right. I mean you look at it. Yukon looks like they should kind
• 34:57
  of walk through this thing. You know, illinoi, Iowa State two and
• 35:01
  three. Uh, you know Ducane, Auburn. This could be one of
• 35:07
  the easier paths for the ones when you go over to the south, well
• 35:09
  by Houston, Kentucky is in that region. Also, Duke is in that
• 35:15
  region. James Madison is in that Ruh. That doesn't even mention Wisconsin,
• 35:20
  Marquette, Florida. This is a very tough region for Houston to get through,
• 35:23
  right so, and and I like Houston, but because of their defense
• 35:28
  right now, they can get cold, right we saw that in the conference
• 35:31
  last week in the conference tournament. Uh, they can, they can go
• 35:35
  cold, but you know, getting stops is what they're all about. And
• 35:39
  I really like, uh, I like you. Houston is who I've got
• 35:44
  winning at all. And I know I'm not going out on a limb there.
• 35:45
  But if you look at you know that. And the other thing is
• 35:49
  with even if you were to take all four number ones, you know with
• 35:52
  Connecticut being Florida one, you you know, you could put some money,
• 35:59
  you could ructure it so that you would be in the plus if you put
• 36:02
  money on all four number ones. Yeah, you know, so something to
• 36:07
  think about. But yeah, in this region right here, I so you
• 36:14
  know the eight nine matchup, little tidbit about eight nine matchups. Eight nine
• 36:19
  matchups don't go the eight nine seeds don't go very far in the tournament.
• 36:22
  It's tough. So whoever wins the eight nine, I've fade them in round
• 36:27
  two, So you're faied in Mississippi State if they win to marrow, if
• 36:30
  they win, right and sure, that's right, right, then in the
• 36:32
  next round, I'll fade them. So I fade the winner of the eight
• 36:36
  nine matchup in round two, just because eight nine is historically don't go very
• 36:40
  far in this region. James Madison might have a shot to be Wisconsin.
• 36:47
  And you know what Texas Tech n C State. You know, I think
• 36:52
  we're all kind of high on n C State because we saw what they did
• 36:53
  in the conference tournament. You'll probably see a lot of people pick that,
• 36:58
  but typically, I mean, look, they had to it. They're the
• 37:00
  one big one that ran it this year in the big conferences. I think
• 37:04
  they're gona have an early exit, right I just because that momentum typically dies.
• 37:08
  I mean, not that they're not a good basketball team. They deserve
• 37:10
  to be here. But but but but they they spent a lot to get
• 37:15
  this far right, and as we're but uh at Texas, Tuck is tough.
• 37:19
  It's not gonna be an easy out for them. Kentucky should beat Oakland,
• 37:22
  but that's one I'm taking the points on. I'm not sold on Kentucky.
• 37:27
  I don't like I'm going deep. I'm gonna tell you what I did
• 37:29
  when I got here. Yeah, and I blame this on beav and Kevin
• 37:31
  Griffin, who was in the studio yesterday. You know, Kentucky hasn't won
• 37:36
  a tournament game since twenty nineteen, and John Calipari has been awful hit Kentucky
• 37:39
  recently the SEC tournament that they got to turn it around. So I put
• 37:45
  one hundred and twenty dollars twenty five to one for Kentucky win the whole thing.
• 37:49
  And so I've got Kentucky at the value bat of twenty five to one
• 37:52
  to win the entire tournament. I mean, look, they got to do
• 37:53
  it at some point, right, Kentucky can't just whiff every every year since
• 37:59
  win it all. I mean hey, it's value bet. Okay, okay,
• 38:04
  Well I wouldn't do all eggs in one basket though, Well that's that's
• 38:08
  just the one bet. So you hey, Keith, you know me,
• 38:10
  it's one swing, right, Let's let's go one swing. Let's let's try
• 38:15
  to try to knock it out of the park and see. And that's well,
• 38:16
  and we'll get into that. But you know, when you look at
• 38:19
  some of the and we will talk about this when we get you back,
• 38:21
  we get to the top of the hour, we're gonna have doctor Dan Ross
• 38:23
  from Capital Orthopedia or Orthopedic color in. But we'll talk about some of those
• 38:27
  value bets. You mentioned North Carolina, the value of North Carolina. You
• 38:31
  look at the value of Kentucky. I mean, they got us good a
• 38:34
  guard play in the country. It's just can they stay on the on the
• 38:37
  same page and can they shoot their way through this bracket? And again,
• 38:42
  you know, one of the teams nationally that's not being talked about as much
• 38:45
  as traditionally, and I don't know if it's because their coach is no longer
• 38:46
  there is Duke. You know, Duke is a four seed North Carolina,
• 38:52
  you know stole that thunder now in the bracket, I picked North Carolina,
• 38:54
  but we'll get into that and more. We're at a Maristar casino today,
• 38:58
  and of course you can come by and see us. Brought to you by

  Speaking of Capital Orthopedic, doctor Dan Ross is on your radio, of course,
• 40:24
  Doctor Dan Ross, foot and ankle specialist for Capital Ortho, joined the
• 40:29
  group last fall. Doctor Ross, thank you for taking some time. How
• 40:31
  are you, sir? I'm great. They you taring me on the show.
• 40:35
  Hey, I appreciate you jumping in and appreciate Molly ting this up for
• 40:38
  us, and appreciate you guys. You'll being a part of what we do
• 40:42
  here on one oh five nine the Zone, of course, being a part
• 40:44
  of our bracket challenge this year, we're gonna get into everything sports. But
• 40:47
  let's talk a little Capital Ortho tell us a little bit about you. I
• 40:51
  know you came over from Naples, Florida, went to the University of Florida.
• 40:55
  Big Gator fan, but ankle foot specialist at Apple Orthopedic. Just a
• 41:00
  little bit about your services and kind of your timeline there. Yeah, so
• 41:05
  you know, originally from Florida, where you know, I went to the
• 41:07
  UF for undergrad and then it's in my medical training with University South Florida where
• 41:15
  I got my doctor in medicine, and then orthopedic residency was with Universe South
• 41:20
  Carolina in Columbia. And then my putting ankles specialty fellowship is with University of
• 41:25
  Colorado in Denver, and I finished that up about a year or at least,
• 41:32
  you know, maybe like six months ago, and I've been working here
• 41:36
  in Jackson fifty since with Capital Orthopedic, treating all sorts of injuries from the
• 41:42
  young to the old, but certainly a lot of athletic injuries and a lot
• 41:45
  of sports related problems. Yeah, when you look at the foot and ankle
• 41:51
  injury, and of course, you know that's always the big thing. You
• 41:52
  watch a football game, you watch you know, a baseball game, basketball
• 41:57
  game, guys and girls alike in soft and women's basketball. I mean,
• 42:00
  that's that's always kind of a take your breath moment when you see a player
• 42:04
  kind of limping around. I do not have the statistics, but I would
• 42:07
  assume, but not. Can you frame it up as most common injury,
• 42:12
  one of the top top comminy How would you frame that up? Yeah,
• 42:15
  I mean ankle sprains is one of the most common reasons to see a doctor
• 42:20
  overall, and it's certainly one of the most common reasons to show up into
• 42:24
  a clinic as an athlete, you know, and most of those can be
• 42:30
  treated nonoperatly, but you know, sometimes we can help get the player back
• 42:34
  on the field earlier with surgical inventions, but therapy certainly has a huge role
• 42:38
  in all that. And you know, some of those injuries can be more
• 42:43
  severe. They can be you know, major sprains to the foot or even
• 42:46
  fractures to the foot or fractures to the ankle, and depending on the specific
• 42:52
  injury, you know, we can either treat it with therapy or treat it
• 42:57
  with surgery, or a combination of both. And you know, with the
• 43:00
  goal of getting our players back on the field. Having a conversation with doctor
• 43:04
  Dan Ross's Capital Orthopedic, and of course you can give them a call if
• 43:07
  you need to schedule a deployment six or a one nine eighty seven eight to
• 43:09
  zero zero online at Capitol Ortho dot Com. All right, so University of
• 43:14
  Florida Gators. You don't have to say much when you say Gators. You
• 43:17
  know that's obviously big sec program, a lot of success in football, baseball,
• 43:22
  basketball. Always a good time at the University of Florida, or at
• 43:25
  least most of the time. Yeah. Yeah, I was there from two
• 43:30
  thousand and nine to twenty thirteen, which is definitely kind of at the tail
• 43:36
  end of our most recent best days for football. You know, I wasn't
• 43:42
  the student there during our two thousand and six or two thousand eight championships,
• 43:45
  but we did have some We was the basketball championships and I was there,
• 43:50
  and you know, we had some deep runs for men's basketball when I was
• 43:53
  there, but I wasn't quite able to you know, store University Boulevard like
• 44:00
  my older classmates, which you know, I wish I had the opportunity to
• 44:04
  do that. But you know, we always tend to least put forward a
• 44:07
  couple of good teams every year that have deep runs into the playoffs. Hoping
• 44:12
  we'll have another deep run this year, but I think we have a little
• 44:15
  bit of a tough road ahead of us with Kentucky, a couple of games
• 44:19
  away. Yeah, I want to ask you about that. Are in just
• 44:21
  a second, but I got to ask you this, you know, jokingly,
• 44:23
  but just seriously buying or selling Billy Napier this year? Ah Man,
• 44:30
  I don't know. You know, people coaches don't tend to have a long
• 44:36
  life life stand for any team in the SEC if they don't start putting up
• 44:39
  some wins. I don't know if I'm I don't know if I have high
• 44:45
  hopes for him, but you know, maybe maybe you can make some magic
• 44:49
  happens. Talking with doctor Dan Ross, capitel orthopedic foot and ankle specialist,
• 44:53
  and of course you can find them at capitol Ortho dot com. Yeah,
• 44:55
  talking about your Gators in the tournament, I mean played do darn well during
• 45:00
  the season and you know with this Brack, I mean last year, I
• 45:02
  think we had a five and a four in the final four and a couple
• 45:06
  not a number one. So you know, it's about getting hot. But
• 45:09
  that's a very very tough region and that that South region, Houston. You
• 45:14
  look at Wisconsin, Duke, NC State who just won the ACC Tournament,
• 45:16
  Kentucky, Florida, and Marquette. It is a who's who in that bracket.
• 45:22
  Yeah, I mean I think, you know, our first game,
• 45:25
  hopefully we're facing Boise State, which tends to not have a great history in
• 45:30
  this tournament. After that, I think we got a good shot with Marquette
• 45:37
  baby, but that's probably a com blind hope there. I don't know if
• 45:40
  we're gonna be able to pull it out two upsets in a row. Maybe,
• 45:45
  Sorry about that. I mean to step on you there before I get
• 45:47
  you out of here, just tell us a little bit about what's going on
• 45:50
  at Capitol Or though of course we want people to come see you if they
• 45:52
  do have that injury. Baseball season's going on right now. Basketball just ended.
• 45:57
  But you know, and obviously one of my people don't to be an
• 46:00
  athlete to see a physician or to see yourself at Capital Orthopedic, but kind
• 46:04
  of looking at that sports window basketball and then of course you'll have seven on
• 46:07
  seven, a lot of football in the summer, and we're back to football
• 46:09
  season a game. Yeah, so you know, we take care of all
• 46:15
  patients at Capitol Worthspeedics from the young to the old. Could be young athletes,
• 46:19
  there could be more weekend warriors. You know, whether these are chronic
• 46:23
  problems or acute injuries. We have you know, twelve specialty trained orthopedic surgeons
• 46:30
  ready and happy to take care of the greater Jackson community. You know,
• 46:35
  I'm a foot an angle specialist, but as you know, eleven of the
• 46:38
  partners they are specialists, all on their own field. So I would say,
• 46:44
  you know, if you're having must feel skillful pain and want to learn
• 46:47
  more about what can be done about it, I would come to see us
• 46:50
  at Capital Orthopedics, where you know we're happy to take care of you.
• 46:53
  Doctor Dan Ross, Capital Orthopedic count enough to give some time on a busy
• 46:57
  day today, doctor, appreciate your time today. Best of luck to your
• 47:00
  hey and thank you for coming on the show. Thank you for what you
• 47:01
  guys do a Capital Orthopeter. Thank you very much. Thank you for having
• 47:06
  me. Thanks so much, doctor Dan Ross on the show. We got
• 47:10
  a few minutes here. We'll get Keith Arty back on here in about twenty
• 47:13
  minutes. Beave or anything to catch up in on your side of the glass.
• 47:15
  Well text here from a mystery number. But they've got two bets for
• 47:22
  you to place while you're there. Number one, go ahead and drop one
• 47:30
  hundred on Jalen Milroe for the Heisman next year. You can thank me later,
• 47:36
  all right. And then from the same person, but a separate bet.
• 47:42
  They want you to put fifty on Caleb Downs to come back to Bama.
• 47:49
  I don't know if that Caleb Downs bet is there, but I'll have
• 47:52
  to look and see. Do you like this mill Row Heisman bet? I
• 47:57
  do? He's got a shot. I mean, he does. He's got
• 48:01
  a shot. I mean, and if if he can be a little bit
• 48:05
  better passed. I mean, we know that the guy's athletic. That could
• 48:07
  that could be the steal for the Heisman Trophy. Anything else over there that
• 48:12
  I'll catch us up if you want a taxi six or a one eight eight
• 48:15
  five three seven seven six. That is the Cowboy Maloney's text line. A
• 48:17
  couple of notes here, we were going through some of this, I mean,
• 48:21
  people already starting to project where the ACC is going to fracture. What's
• 48:24
  Clemson in Florida State exit? Brad Crawford two for seven sports dot Com has
• 48:30
  Florida State headed to the Big Ten, Clemson to the SEC. Beaver.
• 48:35
  Does that make sense though? I mean, do you or does Florida State
• 48:37
  in the SEC have no attraction to each other at all. I've heard that
• 48:44
  both ways. My thinking now, what was the wording though? Who doesn't
• 48:49
  want who? Allegedly correct? Because over time you've heard both sides. Florida
• 48:58
  State's not interested in the AC in the SEC, and then you've heard,
• 49:00
  well, the SEC's right, really that interested in Florida State. They already
• 49:04
  have Florida So I don't know which one it is. I would lean more,
• 49:08
  and I have leaned more towards. If I'm the SEC, I want
• 49:16
  Florida State. It's all about you know, these TV markets and whatnot.
• 49:21
  And I've heard all Florida State doesn't bring anything. But if it's all about
• 49:24
  TV markets, why not try to? I mean, you get Florida and
• 49:30
  Florida State, you're blanketing as much of the state of Florida as possible.
• 49:38
  Men the only ones left there. You know, major programs, I'll let
• 49:43
  you quote unquote major UCF And if you were to get Miami, well just
• 49:49
  one one part of that though Florida State. That adds an additional piece.
• 49:52
  I don't know. I would think in this day and age, when it's
• 49:55
  all about TV markets, why wouldn't you want an additional mark? Oh?
• 50:00
  I want her percent agree, I wonder percent agree. I mean the argument
• 50:04
  that, well you don't need Florida, stagey are got Florida. Well what
• 50:07
  about South Carolina? You already got South Carolina. Why don't you want Clemson?
• 50:09
  Because Clemson is a much bigger brand. We're gonna get to more of
• 50:13
  that and a lot more. We'll brought to you about. Bailey Lumber open

• 52:00
  whib All. Right, So Chris Hummer has put together College football teams capable
• 52:07
  of making a twenty twenty four Cinderella run in the playoff. Always love these
• 52:12
  pieces, love, debunker or give them a thumbs up. Here, he
• 52:15
  said, in lieu of the March Badness mania, he has the first team
• 52:21
  that can make a run is ole Miss, and of course ole Miss continues
• 52:23
  to get and well deserving. I think of the preseason pubs as can a
• 52:29
  team that's won a combined twenty nine games over the past three years be a
• 52:32
  Cinderella, he says. Of course, this is college football, and we're
• 52:36
  talking about college football as it pertains to Cinderella's. But you know, in
• 52:38
  honor of March Badness, only twelve teams have won a national championship since the
• 52:44
  start of the BCS era. Only a select few programs aren't Cinderella as it
• 52:49
  pertains to college football. But this Oxford based Cinderella, who he says,
• 52:52
  I assume throws many elegant tailgates, is better position than most. Not only
• 52:58
  is Ole Miss return at the your quarterback in Jackson Dart, but then of
• 53:00
  course talks about the hall and the transfer Poole. I would say that ole
• 53:06
  Miss definitely fits the Cinderella box. Penn's State is number two. I know,
• 53:09
  Beaber, it's not going to agree with this. James Franklin, of
• 53:13
  course, has had a ton of success in Happy Valley, but they I
• 53:17
  can't even put them in the Cinderella category though, until they can show that
• 53:21
  they can beat somebody that they're not supposed to beat, Ohio State, Michigan,
• 53:27
  Ole, miss pick a Bowl team. It hasn't happened. I mean,
• 53:30
  this is the best ten win program in the country that can't beat anybody
• 53:35
  when they're supposed to Miami. Miami is in this list. I actually,
• 53:39
  you know, if you go back and we'll get more into this after March
• 53:42
  madness really heavy all the rest of the year. In what's going to happen
• 53:45
  in college foot well, have the Miami Hurricanes in my college football Playoff Miami
• 53:50
  has never finished better than tenth in the fourteen Playoff era college Football Playoff Pole
• 53:55
  and only twice made the year end College Football Playoff ranking. So this program,
• 54:00
  despite its history, feels a bit of an underdog going in. But
• 54:02
  when you look at everything that the Hurricanes have added from cam Ward a lot
• 54:07
  of other pieces as well, they fit the profile. I think of a
• 54:10
  Cinderella program. They have the best talent in the ACC right there with Florida
• 54:15
  State, Texas A and M. Look, first off, Texas A and
• 54:19
  M has got to win more than eight games. I don't know that anybody
• 54:22
  is going to put Texas A and M outside of AGI fans in their potential
• 54:25
  college football playoff bracket this year. I mean, when you're talking college football
• 54:30
  playoff bracket, I don't know. You know what is going to happen with
• 54:36
  Texas A and M. But Mike Oko has got to produce better than eight
• 54:39
  wins. And Jobe Fisher couldn't do it. Kevin Sumlan didn't do it.
• 54:44
  So peber which you called Texas A and M a potential Cinderella in college football?
• 54:49
  Nope, nope, nope, nope. Quick answer. What about Hole
• 54:52
  Miss? No, I'm not going there either. What about Miami? No,
• 55:04
  not Miami either. Yeah, you know what I would take. I
• 55:07
  think i'd take Old Miss before I was to take Miami, and that's fair.
• 55:14
  What about NC State? No, not even close. What are we
• 55:19
  talking about? Are we talking about for national championship? Yeah, Cinderella run.
• 55:23
  Oh no, not buying it. Now. They do have Grayson McCall
• 55:29
  who transferred over from Coastal Carolina. It's one of the better nine win programs
• 55:34
  in the country. But yeah, I'm not buying that either. Let's see
• 55:36
  what about oh gosh, Virginia Tech. Are we really throwing them in here?
• 55:40
  I mean, look, Virginia Tech finished seven and six last year.
• 55:45
  They got one of the better young quarterbacks in Cairo and Drones. The offense
• 55:49
  improved to a top twenty five, are improved in a top twenty five.
• 55:52
  Defense under Brent Pride was there, But no, Virginia six is not either.
• 55:58
  Arizona Nope, Slict's garbage. What about Utah? Beve two out of
• 56:06
  the three last Pack twelve championships. They're gonna be voted on heavily in the
• 56:09
  Big twelve media days to win that conference. Cam Rising is back for year
• 56:14
  twenty. How about Utah? Utah? Okay, who was it you had
• 56:22
  winning the Big twelve. I let's say a couple of years ago, I
• 56:27
  had Utah in the playoff and they got dinged by Florida and Anthony Richardson in
• 56:31
  Week one. Now this year, oh, come in, we met twenty
• 56:37
  four. I'm sorry. The Pack twelve over the Big twelve, Big twelve
• 56:43
  Central Florida. Yes, okay, you had Central Florida. The reason I
• 56:45
  asked that is because when you, you know, made that prediction, my
• 56:50
  immediate thought was, wait a minute, what about Utah? So can Utah
• 56:57
  make a run? I think so. I think because of that conference they're
• 57:02
  in, they could get you know what, they would get one of the
• 57:05
  buys if they win it, they're going to get a bye and then they
• 57:08
  have you know, we'll see what happens. Oklahoma State is on this list.
• 57:14
  You know, Mike Gundy returns a lot of talent. They want a
• 57:15
  lot of ball games. What about Oklahoma State or Kansas? Kansas is on
• 57:23
  this list. Let's go to Ready Teddy Online one Teddy, Welcome out,
• 57:30
  Hey Jake. You know you don't think oh Miss is a Cinderella. That
• 57:36
  because at one of the Dang's favorites. That's why you may be onto something
• 57:42
  Teddy at one, two, three, four, five, only sixteens with
• 57:45
  better on right now at the Handy Dandy Meritark know end zone it is?
• 57:52
  Have you already played that future? Now? I'm waiting for more Vegas to
• 57:59
  pile on odds and get better. There you go, There you go,
• 58:02
  you're trying to get just a little bit better odds before you take it.
• 58:06
  That's right, very good, Thank you sir. All right, see you,
• 58:10
  Beaver. Any rebuttal to Teddy that says, hey, you're not calling
• 58:13
  them Cinderella because they're favorite to win the whole thing this year, I well,
• 58:17
  I'm I guess he's right. Can a favorite technically be a Cinderella?
• 58:24
  No, they cannot so, and they just can't, so I can't.
• 58:30
  I can't quibble here with ready, Teddy. Oklahoma State is on this list.
• 58:37
  I do not buy that as a Cinderella. Kansas definitely. I mean,
• 58:39
  Kansas went nine to four last year, but there was a lot of
• 58:43
  close games. They don't have the Kansas is not at Cinderella. South Florida,
• 58:47
  look, there's going to be so much. I mean, you think
• 58:50
  the hype around Old Miss is big, I mean down in the state of
• 58:52
  Florida. South Florida as major hype. I mean, and look, that
• 58:57
  was a good run they had last year. They might win ac this year.
• 59:01
  It's gonna be tough for South Florida because Liberty is likely going to go
• 59:05
  undefeated and does the College Football Playoff take two group of five teams. So
• 59:10
  I don't know. I mean, I say that if Liberty slips, then
• 59:14
  at South Florida is to get her Memphis, But I don't know that they
• 59:17
  take to And again that's one of the things I want to see. Speaking
• 59:20
  of Memphis, Memphis is on this list, so you talk about it.
• 59:24
  Says Memphis is well positioned to fill a potential AAC power vacuum. And the
• 59:30
  Tigers have one of the better quarterbacks than Seth Hennigan in the country coming back,
• 59:34
  and you can make an argument he's the best in the FCS or FBS
• 59:37
  rather along with Liberty's quarterback six er one eight, eight to five, three,
• 59:40
  seven, seven six. If you want to text the program. We're

• 1:02:13
  That's an eighty five inchure. Look you can watch it. I mean,
• 1:02:16
  these teams are great, but I mean I feel like your home right,
• 1:02:20
  your patio perfect, right. I mean that tees you up for not
• 1:02:22
  just basketball, Major League Baseball, I mean any of the big golf events,
• 1:02:27
  football. I mean there it is right there, all year long,
• 1:02:30
  all year long. I let jump back into some of these regions here.
• 1:02:31
  Now, well let's let's let's go back to the value bits first. I
• 1:02:36
  know that you're not Look, Keith, I am not confident in this Kentucky
• 1:02:38
  bath that I placed her at marathon. But twenty five to one, right,
• 1:02:45
  I mean Calipari hasn't forgot how to coach, has it? I mean
• 1:02:47
  their talented, their talents, just can they pull it together? So at
• 1:02:52
  some point you would have to think the lights got to come back on,
• 1:02:57
  right, right? So I get it. I get where you're going with
• 1:03:04
  it. But what I would want to recommend to listeners is not all your
• 1:03:07
  eggs in one basket. If you're getting twenty five to one, it's okay
• 1:03:12
  to have another horse in the race. You know. Oh, I thought
• 1:03:15
  about playing money on aubur two. It's twenty to one. Yeah, I
• 1:03:19
  do it different than you. They need to take your advice. But no,
• 1:03:23
  you know, with those with such long odds, you know you can
• 1:03:28
  get a few and still come out way ahead. I mean, if you're
• 1:03:30
  betting twenty to one, twenty five to one and you hit one, so
• 1:03:35
  now it's a twenty four to one shot, right, you know, So
• 1:03:38
  if you like long shots, my advice is if I got a hundred bucks,
• 1:03:45
  I wouldn't put my whole hundred on the long shot. Maybe I put
• 1:03:47
  fifty on it and then another fifty I'd sprinkle around on some other action just
• 1:03:52
  to help me get my hundred bucks back, or maybe make a couple of
• 1:03:55
  hundred, or possibly put me in a hedge situation. You know, if
• 1:04:00
  the two teams are meet up in the final game, what do you got
• 1:04:03
  to tell you? What I got right here? At Look at that?
• 1:04:05
  That's a Walmart receipt. That is it looks like this is a pen play
• 1:04:11
  receipt. Twenty bucks twin thirteen thousand, thirty six dollars and thirty five cents,
• 1:04:16
  right, so ten team parlay? Okay and hold on, let me
• 1:04:19
  let me so it's it's twenty okay, So that's taxable, Jake. So
• 1:04:25
  I'll let your listeners know, all right, So just for that in case
• 1:04:29
  somebody comes over here, what what is that the where's the bridge for the
• 1:04:32
  tax? Three hundred to one? If you've got a ten dollar bet that
• 1:04:35
  pays three thousand, then you're going to be paying taxes. Then does that
• 1:04:41
  come out here or do you have to do that on your taxes? No?
• 1:04:45
  So that's at the cashiere. So some quick info for all your listeners.
• 1:04:50
  If it's under five thousand, if it's ten bucks to win three thousand,
• 1:04:55
  Mississippi State is mandatory. They're taking this right off the top. That's
• 1:04:59
  three percent non negotiable. But what you do have the option of deferring is
• 1:05:03
  the federal tax. Now, the federal tax, you think Mississippi Federal is
• 1:05:09
  twenty four percent, right, But if it's under five thousand, you can
• 1:05:14
  do that on your taxes, right, you can defer that. But you,
• 1:05:17
  Jake, you are gonna be paying that all at one time. But
• 1:05:20
  hey listen, you're still gonna come out with about ten grand on that,
• 1:05:25
  all right. So if it was the hit, let me do what I
• 1:05:26
  got, all right. So Nevana versus Dayton, I took Dayton plus one.
• 1:05:30
  I like Dayton. Oakland versus Kentucky. I have Kentucky Oakland covering the
• 1:05:34
  cover tea that right, I have the scared the daylights out of Kentucky.
• 1:05:38
  Right, I like that one as well. Samford versus Kansas, give me
• 1:05:41
  Sandford plus seven, right on, Jake, my man, So we're three
• 1:05:44
  and oh yeah, Uab versus San Diego State give me uab to cover the
• 1:05:48
  seven. Tough one, but I like you that you get in seven.
• 1:05:53
  Let's see Charleston versus Alabama. Gonna be Charleston to cover the nine. I
• 1:05:57
  like it. Another dog dog ticket. You gotta goes as it is.
• 1:06:00
  Let's say Grand Canyon versus Saint Mary's. Give me Saint Mary's the cover five
• 1:06:02
  and a half. Oh, Jake that I'm on the other side of that
• 1:06:05
  one. I've I've got Grand Canyon. You've got Saint Mary's on upset alert.
• 1:06:10
  Then right right, I've got Grand Canyon, Grand Canyon. That's our
• 1:06:15
  guy we were talking about. Yes, yes, yes, yeah, Drew,
• 1:06:18
  Yeah, Rice Drew. Let's see also, James Madison versus Wisconsin.
• 1:06:23
  I've got James Madison plus five and a half. I like the I think
• 1:06:26
  it's I think it's a last second shot wins that game. So I like
• 1:06:30
  you getting five and a half. Let's see Dukane versus b Yu. Give
• 1:06:33
  me Dukane plus nine and a half. I'm mad. Another one I've got
• 1:06:35
  on my ticket. Let's see Akron versus Creighton. Give me Creighton to cover
• 1:06:39
  the twelve and a half. I so that one is I stayed away from
• 1:06:43
  because because the spread is so high. But Creighton, uh they beat Yukon.
• 1:06:48
  Yeah right, so you gotta like create let's see and the last couple
• 1:06:53
  ones on this ticket or the last one Oregon versus South Carolina. Give me
• 1:06:57
  South Carolina. I just one and a half. Oh, I'm on the
• 1:06:59
  other, Jake, So we got two out of the ten that you're you
• 1:07:02
  would have went the other way. Well so for me, and this is
• 1:07:05
  one of my that's in a six eleven matchup that South Carolina Oregon. Yeah
• 1:07:10
  right, and the elevens are only the six is here as of like,
• 1:07:13
  right, the elevens have owned the sixes. But not only that. If
• 1:07:16
  it's if it's a six eleven and eight nine, you can see being a
• 1:07:19
  one point spread, right, i'bsoltly, But a six eleven is a one
• 1:07:24
  point spread that that lets me think that the eleventh seed has a chance.
• 1:07:28
  There's another eleven seed. There's an eleven seed that's a favorite over a sixth
• 1:07:33
  seed, which can New Mexico is a favorite over Clemson. So is it
• 1:07:39
  more about Clemson maybe shouldn't be a six or is that more about New Mexico
• 1:07:45
  was undervalued there? I think New Mexico is undervalued personally, you know,
• 1:07:49
  So for me, that's one of the things I look for. Uh.
• 1:07:54
  If the if the lower seed is the favorite, I'm taking that lower seed,
• 1:07:59
  right Yeah? So uh that that that eleven six matchup, and I
• 1:08:04
  want to say, Duquine is eleven six match I think you're right now that
• 1:08:08
  one's nine and a half. But but it's one of the ones I like,
• 1:08:11
  Uh, I'm not sure if Texas Tech. There's another eleven six matchup
• 1:08:15
  that I'm a that I'm liking it, and I thought it might be the
• 1:08:19
  Texas Tech matchup. Hold on, let me, let's let me pull up
• 1:08:24
  my bracket. Uh why you up Dukaine over by U? Right? I
• 1:08:30
  like that one. Uh New Mexico Clemson. Uh. The other eleven six
• 1:08:36
  was in C State Texas Tech. Now, but in this one, I
• 1:08:41
  am liking Texas Tech only because man in C State had you know, the
• 1:08:47
  conference, might have taken it all out of them. And so that's one
• 1:08:53
  eleven six matchup where I kind of like Texas Tech. Texas texts minus four
• 1:08:57
  and a half in that one. And then the last eleven six oh is
• 1:09:00
  Oregon South Carolina. Well, you know since NS This is around sixty four.
• 1:09:04
  This was supposed during the selection committee the other day. This was an
• 1:09:08
  info graph shot. I believe ross Stellender pold eleven seeds versus six seeds since
• 1:09:13
  twenty ten. The elevens are twenty seven and twenty five. They actually have
• 1:09:16
  a fifty two percent winning percentage against the sixes since twenty ten. And I'd
• 1:09:20
  like to know what that is against the spread. Right, So, if
• 1:09:24
  they're if they're winning, if they're winning, you said it was like twenty
• 1:09:27
  six, twenty six, twenty four times. If they're winning more games,
• 1:09:31
  they've been the dog in most of those, right, it's rare that the
• 1:09:35
  eleven is the favorite. So so you're they're covering. And not only are
• 1:09:40
  they covering, they're winning outright, winning out right, And uh so there's
• 1:09:43
  a there's a philosophy going around that. Hey, so it's the eleven six
• 1:09:45
  the new twelve five right right, right, And but the philosophy is,
• 1:09:50
  if you bet on every underdog in the first round, you come out ahead,
• 1:09:57
  really yes, and so because you get such tremend decide so last year
• 1:10:01
  and now this isn't with the points spread, this is to win the game,
• 1:10:05
  right, But last year, So you're making thirty two bets, right,
• 1:10:09
  so thirty two units, so it's thirty two hundred, three hundred and
• 1:10:12
  twenty dollars whatever, thirty two dollars, so you make it thirty two bets.
• 1:10:15
  It only took four wins to get your thirty two bets back according to
• 1:10:19
  last year's wins, right, So if you put a dollar on each game,
• 1:10:25
  right, you'd have thirty two bets. And there were four games last
• 1:10:28
  year that got you your thirty two dollars. It's crazy because it was plus
• 1:10:30
  four hundred plus seven hundred plus five hundred. You know that's right. Yeah,
• 1:10:34
  so you know it makes it fun. No, it does, it
• 1:10:38
  does. We got to take a time out. We come back, We'll
• 1:10:40
  carry on. I want to get to some more of these numbers with Keith.

• 1:12:27
  Keith Harty with me. Now, Keith, when you look at some
• 1:12:29
  of these statistical you know this is this is not anything to do with sports
• 1:12:32
  gaming, but it ties back to it. You know. Now, twice
• 1:12:35
  we've had a sixteen beat to one. So the sixteens versus one or two
• 1:12:43
  and one fifty the fifteen two's eleven times a fifteen has beaten a two,
• 1:12:49
  twenty two times a fourteen's beaten a three, and thirty two times a thirteen
• 1:12:55
  is beaten a four. Huh. Now, when you move up, the
• 1:12:57
  latter obviously gets closer eight ninees. The nine's actually outweigh the eight seventy eight
• 1:13:00
  seventy four. But what you would figure it's a fifty fifty right right.
• 1:13:06
  A good thing to look at is where that eight to nine winner winds up
• 1:13:10
  after the next round. You know what I mean, We're gonna be something
• 1:13:13
  we're gonna be looking at and something we were talking about during the break.
• 1:13:15
  I want to let your listeners know you're coming down to get a parlay.
• 1:13:18
  Great, you know, I get it. I don't mind. I understand
• 1:13:25
  that's what folks want. They want how can I bet twenty bucks and win
• 1:13:28
  two thousand or in your case, you got thirteen thousand, right, But
• 1:13:31
  what I always want, what I want to recommend the guys is, you
• 1:13:34
  know, it's a two day event. I've got eight games on Thursday and
• 1:13:41
  I've got another eight games on Friday. I hate to go eight to no
• 1:13:44
  on Thursday and get nada. Yeah, get nothing. So I always suggest,
• 1:13:48
  hey, break it up a little bit, break it all the day,
• 1:13:51
  get you a sixteen teamer. But before you leave here, Jake,
• 1:13:56
  go get everything that's just being played on third tomorrow. Go get that in
• 1:14:01
  a parlay. I like that, you know what I mean? Yeah,
• 1:14:03
  So, now already you went on Thursday, your sixteen teamer is still alive
• 1:14:09
  to win thirteen grand. But you've already collected, you know, And an
• 1:14:12
  eight teamer is two hundred to one. Let me tell you. And I'm
• 1:14:15
  saying this because people if they're not getting it, which I know many many
• 1:14:17
  have it, but if you're not getting the bet builder, this is why
• 1:14:19
  I can sit right here as I do this show during the break. I
• 1:14:23
  can do my ticket from my laptop. I can take a photo with my
• 1:14:27
  phone, even though you can do it off your phone. I like the
• 1:14:29
  bigger screen because I can see it here and the young lady over there can
• 1:14:31
  scan it and bam. I mean right, And you don't have to come
• 1:14:34
  sit on your couch and go through all your picks. Yeah, when you
• 1:14:38
  come down here, just show us your phone. We scan your phone,
• 1:14:41
  put and listen. If you're not coming during a time where the counter is
• 1:14:45
  open, or maybe there's a line at the counter, you can scan your
• 1:14:48
  phone at the kiosk. Hold it right up, hold the barcode right up
• 1:14:51
  to the scanner and it'll populate the screen for you. I can't believe that
• 1:14:56
  you're gonna twist my arm and now make me do a Thursday Friday part.
• 1:15:00
  But you've already done it, so that's right, right, Jake, It
• 1:15:01
  makes sense. I mean right. I don't know how many of those games
• 1:15:04
  are on Thursday, you know, I'd have to look at it. But
• 1:15:06
  no, all jokes asign It makes sense, right, you do you have
• 1:15:10
  a Thursday day and that way if you wif then you still have a Friday
• 1:15:14
  day. Well, oh you okay, Yeah, you can make a Thursday
• 1:15:16
  ticket and a Friday. You've got a Thursday time Friday ticket combined. I
• 1:15:20
  think that's what it is because I just went through there picking the ones that
• 1:15:23
  I liked. Right, there's you got sixteen teams. There's sixteen games on
• 1:15:28
  Caday, right and so or ten? Well I picked ten, but you're
• 1:15:31
  right, I mean it's oh you wait a minute, you picked a ten
• 1:15:33
  team, correct? Oh right, Well I doubt all ten. But see
• 1:15:38
  now, look if it's eight and two, you may not want to split
• 1:15:40
  it up, right, Oh, no, that ticket, i'mnna leave.
• 1:15:42
  I'm just gonna do two more, right, But if okay, yeah,
• 1:15:44
  but if it's five, get you just a Thursday ticket, you know,
• 1:15:47
  based off of what you got that way you went on Thursday. Yay,
• 1:15:50
  you come down to collect Thursday night. There you go. Let's go to
• 1:15:54
  the West Region. North Carolina Top Seve messed the tournament last year. They're
• 1:15:57
  back in and really kind of cruised through the year. Obviously, they lost
• 1:16:00
  to the in the ACC championship game against North Carolina State. You can say
• 1:16:04
  Arizona's the biggest competitor in that region. Also, Alabama is in that Region,
• 1:16:10
  Dayton, A lot of good teams, Arizona, Dayton, Baylor,
• 1:16:15
  Clemson. You reference that New Mexico team that's favored US on eleven seed Alabama.
• 1:16:19
  What do you think about this? Miss City State Michigan State in this
• 1:16:21
  one as well? Right, so a tough one for State fans, I
• 1:16:26
  mean, Michigan Mississippi State fans. You're right because Michigan State's basketball school,
• 1:16:30
  right, But it's it's a it's a coin flip. It's a Michigan State's
• 1:16:33
  minus one and a half. You know, I'll take State, you know,
• 1:16:39
  But that's not one of my major plays. One of my plays is
• 1:16:43
  Grand Canyon, a twelve twelve seed playing Saint Mary's. They're catching five and
• 1:16:46
  a half. I like Grand Canyon and I like Charleston. I know Alabama's
• 1:16:51
  tough, I get it, but I'm I'm hoping that that Charleston can keep
• 1:16:56
  it close. New Mexico I got there. They've gone to two and a
• 1:16:59
  half. Now that line's going up now here. An eleventh seed is minus
• 1:17:03
  two and a half against the sixth seed. I gotta like New Mexico in
• 1:17:06
  that one. I think Baylor takes care of business against Colgate nothing that I
• 1:17:12
  want to take those points now, I am. So here's a ten seed
• 1:17:15
  that's a favorite over a seven, and you know that's a lower seed.
• 1:17:18
  But I still like dating in that one. Arizona. They shouldn't they shouldn't
• 1:17:25
  have a problem against Long Beach right there. Twenty point favorite, but I'm
• 1:17:29
  worried about them moving on in this round. Yeah, you know, this
• 1:17:32
  is this is you got. You got some tough matchups and but coming out
• 1:17:35
  at the end, I've got North Carolina coming out at the end. Yeah,
• 1:17:39
  I like North Carolina. You know our bracket challenge courtesy of Capital Ortho
• 1:17:43
  and Missy Legends, Girl, I picked North Carolina to win the whole thing.
• 1:17:45
  Like if I'm if I'm talking straight up, who's gonna win it?
• 1:17:48
  I like the Tar Hills. Now, a lot of people are gonna go,
• 1:17:50
  you know, some have gone Tennessee, some have gone obviously Houston,
• 1:17:55
  Yukon. Who do you have winning the whole thing? I've got Houston winning
• 1:17:58
  it at all? And yeah, you know, uh here here's what's crazy.
• 1:18:01
  I've got lots of dogs early, but when it comes down to my
• 1:18:06
  final four, it's all chalk, man, It's all four. Number one
• 1:18:11
  one. I got four ones in there, I you know, and it's
• 1:18:15
  just the way it came out. You know, it wasn't my plan going
• 1:18:18
  in. It's just that as I did my matchups, and that's that's who
• 1:18:24
  I had. Because and look, and if you got a dog in an
• 1:18:27
  early round, it's kind of hard to imagine that dog winning in the Elite
• 1:18:30
  eight, right, you know, just just to give you an example,
• 1:18:35
  when I when I pull up, let's say, when I'm looking at round
• 1:18:39
  two here as far as uh, you know, a team moving on McNeice.
• 1:18:48
  I like McNeice, but I can't see McNeice beating Purdue. You know,
• 1:18:55
  in theory, you're right, but Purdue with I mean then of course
• 1:18:58
  it's last year, so it's recently right, they went last year. So
• 1:19:00
  people may go, well, maybe they're just not that team that can get
• 1:19:03
  it done in the tournament. And of course here they go on a run.
• 1:19:05
  But that's the questions that none of us can answer, right, And
• 1:19:09
  but you know, and then historically twelve seed doesn't get that far right,
• 1:19:15
  So you know, while I've got early round upsets late in it, I've
• 1:19:19
  got all chuk I know. It's it's funny and I said, well,
• 1:19:25
  it can't end up like this with four number ones. But I've seen that
• 1:19:28
  many times, you know, the final four two ones and two twos,
• 1:19:31
  two ones and two twos, you know, and I think I've got two
• 1:19:33
  ones and two twos and nine. You know, Beaver has a theory and
• 1:19:36
  I kind of tend to agree with him till they show me. He puts
• 1:19:40
  Houston in the Gonzaga box, meaning, you know, Gonzaga has been to
• 1:19:44
  the mountaintop twice. Just could never you know, win them win the mountaintop
• 1:19:47
  and Houston here recently, you know, under Kevin Samson, they've done a
• 1:19:50
  wonderful job. They've made it to the final four, they've been right there.
• 1:19:54
  Just can't get over the hump. You know, there's I don't know
• 1:19:57
  if that's just I mean, it's hard to win championships. We know that
• 1:20:00
  they are as athletic as anybody. They're shooting as good as anybody. They're
• 1:20:02
  long, they're athletic, play defense. They're really good. And I have
• 1:20:06
  them in the final four. But until they do it, is it the
• 1:20:12
  is it the curse of NC State? You know, Fi Slama Jemma was
• 1:20:15
  really good, right, vagu You know a chem Olajuan. Right, yeah,
• 1:20:20
  you know, so I yeah, you know, I I Houston was
• 1:20:24
  my early pick and so I'm kind of staying with them. But you know,
• 1:20:30
  I could see Carolina and the only reason I'm not taking Yukon is it's
• 1:20:36
  so hard to repeat, you know. But I'm you know, I got
• 1:20:44
  to make in the final four, right, that's my final four. And
• 1:20:47
  Purdue if they feed the big guy, Eadie, if they feed him,
• 1:20:53
  they're gonna be okay. It's I think they get a little, uh,
• 1:20:56
  you know, shoot, a little happy with the outside shots and forget Hey
• 1:21:00
  feed the big guy. That's the bread and butter. It is. It

• 1:22:45
  have doctor Chadhosman from Capitol Orthopeda coming up at five thirty. Earlier in the
• 1:22:49
  show, we had doctor Dan Ross from Capitol orthow as well. All Right,
• 1:22:53
  so you know when we look through the rest of this bracket, Keith,
• 1:22:56
  and you know, we get more into the We were talking Perdue when
• 1:22:59
  we left after the break in the Midwest region and you look at potential.
• 1:23:04
  I mean, Tennessee, a lot of people feel like Tennessee is built,
• 1:23:10
  even though and that's the thing. Tennessee got knocked out Missippi State, big
• 1:23:13
  win last week that a lot of people felt like that really solidified them in
• 1:23:15
  the tournament. You can make an argument the LSU win did, but the
• 1:23:18
  Tennessee game did. And but Tennessee has built a lot of people feel like
• 1:23:21
  to make a run in this tournament. Also, you know Gonzaga Kansas,
• 1:23:26
  but I mean, is this the same Kansas McNeice sampered. This Midwest region
• 1:23:33
  is not as loaded as some of the others. I mean, Creighton is
• 1:23:35
  a three seed, Tennessee is a two. Texas maybe makes a run as
• 1:23:40
  a seven. South Carolina had a good year at six. But I mean
• 1:23:45
  this is not like some of the other regions. So this is where I've
• 1:23:48
  got. I got some dogs in this region. And I was gonna after
• 1:23:55
  we go over the region, I was gonna give you my who my final
• 1:23:58
  four playing because remember I told you that. Uh yeah, I've got all
• 1:24:01
  chalk. But you know I've got them playing like in the final four.
• 1:24:08
  Uh you know, I I've got uh going going to the I'm sorry,
• 1:24:14
  in the Elite eight to make the final four. I've got New Mexico.
• 1:24:17
  I've got Oregon. You know, I've got Drake, you know what I
• 1:24:24
  mean. So but anyway, but get getting back to the bracket. Hold
• 1:24:27
  on, let me pull, let me, let me pull. I'm pulling
• 1:24:29
  my bracket up here. Okay, So in that I got Purdue going all
• 1:24:33
  the way. But hold on a sec. Okay, upsets well, so
• 1:24:41
  TCU Utah that that's Utah State, not an upset there. That's an eight
• 1:24:45
  nine matchup. I've got McNeice beating Gonzaga, right, that's a twelve five
• 1:24:50
  matchup. I got McNeice, right, I've got Samford beating Kansas. Kansas
• 1:24:56
  beat up now where they holding guys out of the conference. Get him healthy
• 1:25:00
  for the tournament? Maybe? Yeah, you know, but I and if
• 1:25:05
  Sanford doesn't beat him in the first round, I don't think they get past
• 1:25:09
  the second round of the winner of Gonzaga McNeese. Right, Okay, So
• 1:25:14
  I've got Oregon over South Carolina, Creighton, i got going up beating Akron.
• 1:25:17
  I've got Texas moving on, and I've got Tennessee beating Saint Pete in
• 1:25:23
  that first round. But in the second round, I've got Texas beating Tennessee,
• 1:25:29
  Oregon to beat Creighton in the second round, I like Oregon McNeice over
• 1:25:34
  Sanford and then Purdue to beat TCU and then moving on to the sweet sixteen,
• 1:25:43
  I've got Oregon beating Texas. The McNeese finally loses to Purdue in that
• 1:25:48
  one for Purdue to advance and then eventually beat Oregon. But yeah, you
• 1:25:54
  know that this is the round that I've probably got the most upsets in.
• 1:26:01
  Like I said, I you know, Oregon over South Carolina. I'm not
• 1:26:05
  going out of the limits to one point spread. But Sanford, Sanford is
• 1:26:11
  cans about plus six plus seven, So that's a big one, that McNeice
• 1:26:15
  over Gonzad. Yeah, I've got if you look starting in the South,
• 1:26:19
  i have James Madison knocking Houston out the Sweet No getting to the Sweet sixteen,
• 1:26:26
  but losing to Houston. So I have them running to the Sweet sixteen.
• 1:26:28
  Okay, I have Houston beating Marquette or scuming Houston beating Marquette, and
• 1:26:32
  then you know, uh, Houston getting to the Final four by beating Marquette.
• 1:26:39
  When you look at the East Region, I've got Yukon Auburn. That's
• 1:26:45
  one four. That's pretty much chocolate I've got. But I've got Drake making
• 1:26:49
  a run in this thing to the Sweet sixteen. Nice me too. I've
• 1:26:53
  got him going to the Elite eight right on. I've got him losing the
• 1:26:57
  Yukon in the in the Elite eight. But because myald four is Yukon,
• 1:27:00
  North Carolina, Houston Tennessee is the final four. But then some of these
• 1:27:03
  others. I mean, I've got Grand Canyon making it to the Sweet sixteen.
• 1:27:06
  I've got Dayton making it to the Elite eight, Creighton Tennessee, and
• 1:27:12
  McNeice. I've actually got McNeese knocking Purdue out. WHOA can you believe that?
• 1:27:16
  Right? Know? I about that? I mean, look, you
• 1:27:18
  just sometimes you just gotta gotta shoot arrows, right, So McNeice. Now
• 1:27:25
  that's the way an LS shoe coach. I mean, let the jokes run
• 1:27:30
  caught cheating all this kind of stuff. He knows how to do this.
• 1:27:32
  He knows how to get guys only. Probably the only downside from McNeice as
• 1:27:38
  far as handicapping and picking them to go deep, they don't have a top
• 1:27:42
  twenty five send their schedules. Nobody right, there's nobody on their schedule.
• 1:27:47
  I mean if you go back. But to their credit, while they're playing,
• 1:27:53
  they're playing subpart talent. They're crushing them. You know, forty point
• 1:27:58
  wins. If I were to pull up their schedule, you're going to see
• 1:28:01
  a bunch of thirty and forty point wins. So you know, you can
• 1:28:06
  say, hey, they didn't have a strong strength to the schedule, but
• 1:28:11
  they crushed the competition. So that something's got to be said for that.
• 1:28:15
  Oh absolutely, And again how much do you I mean, I think the
• 1:28:19
  general public loves the upsets, but do they love the underdogs in the Elite
• 1:28:26
  eight and Final four? Meaning like your Florida Gulf Coast or your Loyal Loves
• 1:28:31
  Chicago's now the Lord of Chicago was a different deal. That was a national
• 1:28:35
  story for a different reason. But do you think the general public loves to
• 1:28:39
  see that? Because when you get down to let's just say, let's just
• 1:28:43
  say a McNeice got to the Final four, taken on Houston. You know,
• 1:28:47
  let's just say that happened. Would the general public be all pulling for
• 1:28:50
  McNeese, right, Well, not when it's going to be crushing a whole
• 1:28:55
  lot of brackets, right, you know. But I and also you were
• 1:29:00
  a little you're not as invested because you've you've probably seen Houston play, probably
• 1:29:03
  haven't seen a McNee state get me in the game all year long, where
• 1:29:08
  you've probably caught a couple of Houston games. Yeah, and now you're getting
• 1:29:10
  a little bit in vested in it. And if you say you know it
• 1:29:14
  right at that point, it's kind of you're probably if you're rooting for McNeice
• 1:29:18
  to be Houston, you probably got a McNeice sweatshirt on, you know,
• 1:29:23
  exactly exactly six or one eight nine seven one zero five nine. That is
• 1:29:27
  the Malone reffing Calo line. So but you like Purdue versus s Tennessee in
• 1:29:30
  the mid Midwest region, I've got Purdue in the final four. I'm right
• 1:29:36
  that's right. You got all chalk right, I've got right. So I've
• 1:29:40
  got them, and pull it right back up here again where I got Purdue
• 1:29:48
  losing to uh I guess it would be Houston, right, And I've got
• 1:29:56
  them beating Oregon in the Elite eight. So yeah, And you know that's
• 1:30:02
  the thing about those liking those, I think Purdues probably got the easiest path.
• 1:30:08
  Let me ask you this about as as far as conferences are concerned.
• 1:30:11
  You know, the Big twelve got eight, eight teams into the tournament,
• 1:30:14
  The SEC got eight teams into the tournament, Big ten got six, Mountain
• 1:30:17
  West got six, ACC got five, Fact twelve got four. Rest in
• 1:30:21
  peace to the PAC twelve. Last year, they'll have a you know that'll
• 1:30:25
  happen. Big East got three, the American, the Atlantic ten, and
• 1:30:29
  the West Coast got two apiece out of I mean out of the big conferences.
• 1:30:32
  I mean because a lot of times we see this and I'm just using
• 1:30:35
  the Big twelve because they're right here on top. People say, well,
• 1:30:38
  they got the best basketball on the conference in the country this year, and
• 1:30:41
  then you'll see by Sunday half the league's not half right. Right for the
• 1:30:45
  SEC eight teams in how strong do you think the league is? Hmmm?
• 1:30:53
  Right? Right? No? So? And I guess what makes it so
• 1:30:57
  hard to answer is we don't get to see them play each other enough out
• 1:31:01
  of conference right or out of conference right, you know, to really say,
• 1:31:05
  hey, this conference is better. We need to see those different conferences
• 1:31:11
  matching up against each other, right, you know. But of course that's
• 1:31:14
  tough to do, especially when you get into the regular stay right, right,
• 1:31:16
  how many games can you play? So out of all the SEC teams,
• 1:31:19
  you know, we're talking Mississippi State, South Carolina, Florida, you're
• 1:31:25
  talking Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Kentucky, and then I'm missing one.
• 1:31:34
  But out of the eight, who do you think has the best chance to
• 1:31:38
  make it go the furthest? Is it Auburn? Is it? Is it
• 1:31:40
  a team like Tennessee? Can Alabama catch fire? Is it Kentucky? Or
• 1:31:44
  is it somebody else? You know what? I don't so right, I
• 1:31:49
  don't have I don't have the SEC getting that far right right, you know,
• 1:31:57
  So it'd be hard for me to say, I, you know,
• 1:32:01
  the SECS is football. So what you're telling me is in your mind at
• 1:32:06
  least. And we'll see this eight teams in that's kind of fool's gold.
• 1:32:10
  I mean, it's eight teams. There's some nice quality. I mean,
• 1:32:13
  Tennessee's got a good team, Auburn's got a good team. Uh, you
• 1:32:15
  can make an argument for Kentucky and their athleticism, right and Alabama's got a
• 1:32:21
  good team. Yeah, you know, but they've all disappointed at some point.
• 1:32:25
  Right. Well, just look at the SEC tournament last week. I
• 1:32:28
  mean, just look at it. I mean, you you know the way
• 1:32:30
  that thing ended. Now, Auburn obviously was the best, and of course,
• 1:32:32
  you know, Bruce Pearl said, you know, hey, this was
• 1:32:35
  the first one. We're gonna go run on another tournament. But we'll address
• 1:32:39
  that when we get back, and of course talk some more of this as
• 1:32:42

  Harty with us today, we're a Maristar get out and play and of course
• 1:33:48
  so'll have a Chad husband doctor Chat husband with Capital Ortho here in the next
• 1:33:53
  segment. All right, Keith, So you know we were talking about and
• 1:33:55
  I said, hey, we haven't even really talked totals, like you know
• 1:33:59
  when you totals, but and you might a good point. You said,
• 1:34:03
  it's it's very very tough on mean, but just because it's a one and
• 1:34:05
  done type deal, what that's like for totals, right, So I guess
• 1:34:11
  for me, there's so much constant. There's round one, I got thirty
• 1:34:15
  two games to look at who's gonna win, and because it's a one and
• 1:34:18
  done, you know, and you're looking who's gonna move on in the tournament
• 1:34:24
  for your bracket, but also now you're thinking who's gonna cover the spread for
• 1:34:28
  your betting action? It it's where's the time to get into totals? But
• 1:34:34
  if I were to look up a total, I'd be I want to bet
• 1:34:38
  Houston under, you know, I mean I would look at where they ranked
• 1:34:43
  defensively, right, and and then I kind of go from there, which
• 1:34:46
  is what we do all the time anyway, right, But but I'm looking
• 1:34:51
  for Houston right now. Okay, right in round one, Houston's a twenty
• 1:34:58
  four point favorite, twenty four and a half. The totals one twenty seven,
• 1:35:03
  I mean, crazy, right, I mean, so, so here's
• 1:35:06
  what we're looking at, right, we're sixty we're looking at We're kind of
• 1:35:16
  looking like at a at a seventy to fifty ball game there right right,
• 1:35:21
  you know, seventy something, right, So seventy four to fifty is the
• 1:35:27
  spread, and that puts us in one. So yeah, I'd like the
• 1:35:30
  under, and I get that's a way to go. That's thirty two more
• 1:35:33
  bets, you know, hey, and you know what what else we didn't
• 1:35:35
  talk about speaking of not talking about stuff we didn't talk about n it.
• 1:35:42
  You know that we've got games tonight. You know, I know everybody's talking
• 1:35:46
  about tomorrow, but tonight we've got some We've got some good games going on.
• 1:35:50
  When me pull up my n it here, No, there's no doubt
• 1:35:53
  about it. And what do you think about Ole Miss not playing in the
• 1:35:55
  IJ You know they chose I see by the side. You know a lot
• 1:36:00
  of people say, hey, just play it, play with the guys you
• 1:36:01
  got Ole Miss, And they're not necessarily saying this, but you look at
• 1:36:04
  it kind of reading the tea leaves used to. You know, you could
• 1:36:08
  build a team up, especially if your guys were there and gonna be two
• 1:36:11
  three years, right, make a run. You make the n I t
• 1:36:13
  this year. Next year, you make that jump to the NCAA Tournament.
• 1:36:16
  Now with a transfer portal, I mean over two hundred guys are already in
• 1:36:18
  the portal in three a's in basketball, it's crazy. So your whole team
• 1:36:23
  may be different next year. So why would you go play additional tournament and
• 1:36:27
  all that stuff? But anyway, still it's fun basketball, right. I
• 1:36:30
  don't I can't say why. I don't know why they would give up that
• 1:36:32
  opportunity, you know, and I get it. Losing guys. You know,
• 1:36:36
  hey, look at LSU yesterday, right right, they get beat Georgia
• 1:36:44
  barely beats Xavier, you know. But but tonight we've got we got what
• 1:36:49
  eight games tonight, three, four, five, six, seven, seven
• 1:36:53
  games tonight in the n I in the n I T, I got an
• 1:36:58
  upset Loyola go loyal Illinois over Bradley. One thing about the n I T
• 1:37:04
  though, it's not neutral site right away, right, so so you know
• 1:37:10
  there they are playing at home for that first little bit. But now now
• 1:37:15
  you know how I was big Rutgers guy, right, ye, well I'm
• 1:37:17
  an even bigger Seaton Hall guy. See, Rutgers is my state, but
• 1:37:23
  Seaton Hall is my neighborhood. Right oh yeah, right, So I've played
• 1:37:27
  in that gym, not very well, but I have played in that gym
• 1:37:31
  and well the old gym. Right now they play in a real nice place.
• 1:37:35
  But uh, you know, I'm going back a bit. But yeah,
• 1:37:39
  so they're big favorites over Saint Joe's tonight, Indiana. There's a lot
• 1:37:44
  of chalk on here. I like Princeton, another Jersey Jersey school there playing
• 1:37:48
  UNLV I kind of staying away from that one. I like Villanova to beat
• 1:37:54
  VCU. And another thing, okay, something to tell listeners. Uh,
• 1:37:58
  there's there's something. There's a betting strategy that follows line movement. So for
• 1:38:02
  example, Villanova came out at a six and a half point favorite. They're
• 1:38:08
  an eight and a half point favorite. That means the money's coming in on
• 1:38:11
  Villanova. And when I say the money, I'm not talking about my twenty
• 1:38:15
  and your fifty and correct, I'm talking about the big buck, big money,
• 1:38:18
  right, So all the bunch of twenty dollar bills isn't gonna move it
• 1:38:21
  two points. It's those It's that sharp action that moves the line like that.
• 1:38:27
  And so from six and a half to eight and a half, that's
• 1:38:30
  a big number you know here, right, So I'm liking Villanova over VCU.
• 1:38:35
  Another one, Seaton Hall moved up from seven to seven and a half.
• 1:38:39
  I'm liking that one. Indiana State. Like I said, it's all
• 1:38:44
  chalk here in this in the n it And listen, let's not forget about
• 1:38:49
  the ladies either. Guys. You know, we've got women's basketball. So
• 1:38:59
  you know, it depends how much you follow. Obviously everybody knows South Carolina,
• 1:39:03
  right, you know, But and you would think you would want to
• 1:39:08
  see like a South Carolina Iowa matchup, right, you know, that would
• 1:39:13
  be the big one. Maybe LSU. You know, hey, if they
• 1:39:15
  don't win the game, they're gonna win the fight, you know, absolutely
• 1:39:18
  absolutely, Hey what about college baseball? Real quick? Are you getting a
• 1:39:23
  lot of action early on some college baseball? So the early action is coming
• 1:39:27
  from guys that are really knowledgeable, right, Usually we don't get a lot
• 1:39:30
  of action until it's a college World Series time, you know. But and
• 1:39:35
  speaking of baseball and Major League baseball starting up here in a week maybe a
• 1:39:42
  week from tomorrow, I think it is. And you know we talk about
• 1:39:45
  it some, but you talk about I mean pound for pound, I mean
• 1:39:47
  it's played as much as anything in here. Right, So this, you
• 1:39:50
  know, one hundred and sixty two games for you know, that's a lot
• 1:39:55
  of baseball. It adds up in the odds on favorites to win it all
• 1:40:00
  are the Dodgers, rightfully, So they go out and get oh Tani,
• 1:40:05
  you know, the biggest thing since Babe Ruth. But they also added that
• 1:40:09
  Yamamoto hot pitcher out of Japan. They're big favorites. I think we might
• 1:40:14
  have talked about that at the top of the show. But college baseball,
• 1:40:17
  like, yeah, we don't. We don't really get a lot of that
• 1:40:20
  going until until it gets closer to the World Series. But there's games tonight,
• 1:40:26
  there's a there's a there's a half a dozen games tonight, three,
• 1:40:30
  six, seven, seven games tonight. I'm looking for la Tech is playing
• 1:40:36
  tonight. Then looking for some sec action that much. But yeah, college
• 1:40:43
  baseball, hockey is still in full swing, you know, hockey, tennis,
• 1:40:48
  golf, auto racing, UFC, M m A, you know.
• 1:40:53
  So, hey, a little bit. This is when you come down,
• 1:40:57
  guys, ask for a little bit. She's very knowledgeable. She's one of
• 1:41:00
  our best, Jake, I've told you, I've bragged about her, right,
• 1:41:02
  Yeah, one of our best. Knows that when she started she did
• 1:41:05

• 1:41:10
  anybody in here. Yes, she's one of the best. When you come
• 1:41:13
  down, y'all asked a little bit. Yes, she told me to take
• 1:41:15

  How are you hey? We're doing fantastic. I appreciate Moley setting this
• 1:43:28
  up. I appreciate you taking some time to join us. I guess,
• 1:43:30
  well two things. One, are you excited about the tournament? Are you
• 1:43:33
  excited about everything going on with with with basketball or is it a different sport
• 1:43:39
  that you like to follow and them? Of course we'll talk a little Capital
• 1:43:41
  author. Yeah, I'm excited. I love March madness. I'm not a
• 1:43:45
  big basketball guys, so, but I do watch the tournament. I'm glad
• 1:43:49
  we got at least got one city team down. It's always good. I
• 1:43:53
  hateless may be left out, but I actually went to Old Millis so but
• 1:43:57
  my wife went to pay so we're happy either way. And so I'm looking
• 1:44:00
  forward to watching some basketball, just because I don't really get into it till
• 1:44:03
  about now, like I think a lot of people do. Oh, there's
• 1:44:06
  no doubt. I think you know when basketball obviously we all know this when
• 1:44:10
  he kicks off. It's November December, we're right in the middle of National
• 1:44:14
  Football League playoffs, in football, college football, and more. Then you
• 1:44:17
  get here and everybody gets excited for for three weeks. I do want to
• 1:44:19
  come back and ask you about all missed football. But first let's talk a
• 1:44:21
  little Capital Ortho. You know, been with Capital Orthos since twenty eleven Sports
• 1:44:27
  Medicine Fellowship trained surgeon specializing in knee, shoulder, and elbows, also treats
• 1:44:32
  general orthopedics as well. Grew up here in Jackson. Just kind of take
• 1:44:36
  us through your time in the business and of course with Capital Ortho. H
• 1:44:42
  it's been great coming home. You know, I was ever in Birmingham for
• 1:44:45
  six years training and did the Andrews Fellowship with Jim Andrews and covered Auburn and
• 1:44:50
  had that experience. But that was things like ages ago, which it actually
• 1:44:55
  was now and I'm starting to feel like I'm getting the holder. But Appital
• 1:45:00
  has been great. You know, we're growing like crazy. We've got a
• 1:45:02
  bunch of new young surgeons there with us, and we're all pretty young actually,
• 1:45:08
  all you know family guys that have younger kids in town and we're all
• 1:45:12
  Jackson guys. It's been it's been fun. There's been a lot of new
• 1:45:16
  interesting things in sports medicine, you know, the big stuff like ACL and
• 1:45:20
  and everything else has been pretty pretty even killed by the last decade. There's
• 1:45:26
  some new interesting stuff like when Aaron Rodgers towards eight as achilles. There's a
• 1:45:31
  lot of new more percutaneous and MINIMALI basive procedures that are coming out for injuries
• 1:45:38
  that you see in basketball, Like I know we've seen a lot of Achilles
• 1:45:43
  injuries this year and KD, Kevin Durant, Kobe, you know, all
• 1:45:46
  these guys are able to come back, whereas you know probably in the nineties
• 1:45:49
  up as the career any injury. So it's we've got all kinds of h
• 1:45:54
  new, cutting edge techniques that we're using right now to get athletes back out
• 1:45:58
  there. Having conversation with the doctor Chad Husband, Capital Orthopedic Wednesday edition of
• 1:46:02
  the program, let me ask you about Aaron Rodgers, And you know,
• 1:46:05
  I would never ask you to make a decision one way or the other on
• 1:46:09
  a you know, a medical deal that you wasn't a part of. I
• 1:46:11
  it'd seen, but just from ten thousand feet, you know, there was
• 1:46:13
  that conversation, well he's done, but he could come back. Oh he
• 1:46:15
  may be coming back, Oh he's throwing the football. Was there ever a
• 1:46:19
  chance with that kind of injury, Not just Aaron Rodgers, but it has
• 1:46:24
  medicine advance that far that maybe you could come back in a season the same
• 1:46:28
  season that you hurt yourself like that, with that kind of injury. Yeah,
• 1:46:30
  I mean there's some there's some new stuff. Like you know, when
• 1:46:32
  Tua and Jalen heard to the Alabama both had those ankle procedures with us.
• 1:46:38
  You're here the words type groups. That's a that's a device that's kind of
• 1:46:43
  a ribbon kevlar ribbon future that we used to support torn ligaments and timmons and
• 1:46:48
  that's and I think Aaron Rodgers got a similar construct on his achilities where they
• 1:46:54
  kind of backed it up with this almost like a ribbon looking future. So
• 1:46:57
  that's why we're able to you know, advance it's their their physical therapy protocols
• 1:47:01
  so rapidly because the Allan's got what's called an internal brace in there that's kind
• 1:47:05
  of holding a repair. But that being said, you know, when I
• 1:47:10
  was seeing him throw some you know at the end of the year, I
• 1:47:14
  felt pretty confident they weren't going to risk it because either way, I mean,
• 1:47:17
  that's that injury can you know, take up to three to six months
• 1:47:20
  to recover from. So there's we're definitely pushing the you know, the the
• 1:47:27
  return to play as hard as we can, but we also got to protect
• 1:47:30
  these athletes from themselves sometimes especially the elite athletes. Let me ask you this,
• 1:47:35
  uh, since you specialize in knee, shoulder, and elbow, and
• 1:47:39
  I know it may be injury specific. Every case is different, I would
• 1:47:42
  assume also sports specific. But which one is still you know in the industry,
• 1:47:47
  do you say, hey, we still have to see uh, and
• 1:47:49
  you want to see advancement in all of it, but we're kind of behind
• 1:47:51
  the curve in one of those Or is it is there is there one that's
• 1:47:56
  further along that needs to come forth than the other. Is that they all
• 1:47:58
  kind of come along, you know, advance with with modern medicine. I
• 1:48:01
  mean, everything's advancing and changing. I think the tough one that it continues
• 1:48:06
  to be the ACL leging an injury. Despite everyone's best efforts, we're still
• 1:48:13
  seeing rechair rates, you know, sometimes upwards of eight nine percent, which
• 1:48:17
  means you know, you've got them eight out of one hundred of the ACLg
• 1:48:21
  the we're going to repair, and a lot of it is for specific We
• 1:48:25
  know women's soccer is a really tough one, as is basketball. Females up
• 1:48:31
  a little bit higher incidence. The return to sports still great. Look,
• 1:48:35
  we're getting people back out there. You know, we were getting people back
• 1:48:40
  out in six months. Honestly, it's kind of going the other direction now
• 1:48:43
  with the new research we're we're really pushing more for like nine to twelve months
• 1:48:47
  recovery on HDL, which is really hard to talk a sixteen year old,
• 1:48:53
  you know, athlete, you know, and tell them, hey, you
• 1:48:56
  know, this may take a year. That seems like a lifetime that now.
• 1:49:00
  So a lot of it's just patient education in the rehab plays a huge
• 1:49:03
  role. So I think that's the big one where I still just kind of
• 1:49:08
  had everybody on the back and say, listen, this is going to be
• 1:49:11
  a long road ahead, but you know, the odds are with you.
• 1:49:14
  We're going to get you back out here. But it's still frustrating when you
• 1:49:16
  have occasionally people come back with recaared. Doctor Chad Hoseman kind enough to give
• 1:49:21
  us some time Capital Orthopedic who's been with Capital Orthos since twenty eleven, also
• 1:49:26
  fellowship trained world renowned Andrew Sports Institute in Birmingham and Ole Miss alumnus as well.
• 1:49:31
  Let me ask you about ole Miss, Chad, when you look at
• 1:49:33
  ole Miss and we've talked about this and we'll continue to most anticipated Ole Miss
• 1:49:38
  football season, maybe in the history of the program. I mean, I
• 1:49:40
  go back to Eli Mannings senior year. I know you remember that it was
• 1:49:42
  high expectations that year. But coming off of the Peach Bowl win against Penn
• 1:49:45
  State, eleven eleven wins, doing it kind of easy against Penn State.
• 1:49:49
  Yes, Quinnshawn Judkins off to Ohio State. But the transfer portal, the
• 1:49:54
  wing way Lane Kiffin has worked at. I mean, I don't know that
• 1:49:58
  there's smoke. The smoke is not valid. I think this is a very
• 1:50:00
  good football team this year. Yeah, they look good. You know,
• 1:50:03
  I always keep my expectations, uh, even when it comes to uh,
• 1:50:09
  my job, and also when it comes to ole miss in the state,
• 1:50:14
  in any Mississippi team that you know, he's special, he really is.
• 1:50:17
  I think he just connects well with that with that generation somehow, and and
• 1:50:23
  he knows the game. And so hopefully, you know, the talent that
• 1:50:27
  he's bringing in will buy into the program too. We don't want these kids
• 1:50:30
  to just you know, coming to Mississippi and and get our you know,
• 1:50:33
  and we educate them and then they immediately disappear. We'd like for them to
• 1:50:36
  invest further in the state of Mississippi and maybe even move here and create their
• 1:50:41
  families here. So, uh, there's more to it, you know.
• 1:50:44
  But I'm I'm always excited when when we're when we're going to these big bowl
• 1:50:47
  games. I think everybody loves that. I'm both in Startland and Oxford.
• 1:50:53
  Doctor Chad Hooseman, Capital Orthopedic kind of have to go some time today.
• 1:50:56
  Make sure you find them at Capital Ortho dot com or called six or a
• 1:50:59

• 1:51:02
  Thank you so much for yall's commitment to what we do. Thank you for
• 1:51:04
  what you guys do for the state of Mississippi. I appreciate your time today.
• 1:51:09
  All right, thanks Jake, have a good night. Hey you too.
• 1:51:11
  Thank you so much. Chathoseman on your radio, Capital Orthopedic, Capitalortho
• 1:51:16
  dot Com, bever anything on your side. We need to get to with
• 1:51:18
  a few minutes here, all right, real quickly. This just came out
• 1:51:27
  less than an hour ago. Chris Vinini with the Athletic. The ACC has
• 1:51:30
  now filed a legal challenge since we've been here to Meristar today. Obviously coming
• 1:51:35
  in today, Clemson's lawsuit was the big thing in college football against the ACC.
• 1:51:42
  Now The ACEC has filed a legal challenge against Clemson and North Carolina in
• 1:51:45
  the courts of Clemson and comeson South Carolina North Carolina court. It argues that
• 1:51:49
  Clemson cannot get out of the acc grand of rights or league exit fees.
• 1:51:55
  The ACC is doing the same with Florida State. It also opens by quoting
• 1:52:00
  Clemson's president. So this this thing is is dirty, dirty, dirty.
• 1:52:03
  I mean they are slinging but at each other. Again, I don't see
• 1:52:08
  any way that this they walked this back. Now, Uh, they're gonna
• 1:52:11
  take this thing as far as they can into the court of law. And
• 1:52:15
  you know when you look at Jim Phillips, the ACCU commissioner, he spoke
• 1:52:17
  on this today and he was pretty much sticking his guns, and hey,
• 1:52:20
  look, they signed this deal. They didn't sign it just once. They
• 1:52:24
  signed it twice. That deal is the grants of rights agreement with the ACC
• 1:52:29
  They're locked in. They need to deal with it. Clemson says, we're
• 1:52:31
  not dealing with it. We want out of this thing. This is a
• 1:52:33
  bad deal. It's not what we thought it was going to be. It's
• 1:52:35
  not what you promised it was going to be. Florida State much the same.
• 1:52:39
  So it's Clemson in Florida State versus all y'all in the acc We are

  night. As always, all kinds of great giveaways, Derek O. Mamike,
• 1:54:15
  A lot of good stuff here to Maristro. I before we get into
• 1:54:17
  this real quick, I don't know if you saw this breaking news speaking of
• 1:54:19
  baseball, Otani's interpreter was fired massive theft. The interpreter of the Dodgers H
• 1:54:27
  showey O'tani, was fired Wednesday after questioning surround a four point five million dollar
• 1:54:30
  wire transfer to cover some gambling debts. How about that, I tell you,
• 1:54:36
  you know, and I gotta imagine if he'd have gone to Otani and
• 1:54:41
  said I'm in trouble before it got to be four million. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:54:45
  like he would have him. You know. It always mean, but
• 1:54:47
  it always amazes me. You know, we talk about all these big thefts
• 1:54:51
  like this, like he's not gonna miss four point five I don't know how
• 1:54:55
  much you got I know he's got a lot, right, but you know,
• 1:54:58
  here's the deal. If I've got a hundred b bucks and I'm gonna
• 1:55:00
  notice twenty bucks mess right right? Four million dollars And look, I gotta
• 1:55:05
  think being an interpreter for a professional athlete, it's pretty cool, pretty good
• 1:55:12
  gig. I mean, you're not You're not staying in Motel six. You're
• 1:55:15
  not. And all you have to do is interpret it right. It's not
• 1:55:18
  even like a caddy and golf like you know, caddy. You got to
• 1:55:20
  make sure that you know everything's done right, the bags are cleaning, the
• 1:55:24
  lines are right. So there's little pressure there, right as an interpreter,
• 1:55:28
  right right, And you're staying in nice hotels, you're eating in nice restaurants,
• 1:55:32
  you got flying commercials, you know. I mean, I couldn't imagine
• 1:55:39
  why you wouln't want to screw that up. That's great. Yeah, so
• 1:55:43
  I saw that. That is crazy. And how speaking of that, didn't
• 1:55:47
  the Jaguars had a guy, a front office guy in Bezel like twenty million.
• 1:55:55
  It seems like I do, yeah that and it was gambling related.
• 1:55:59
  It's it's tough. I mean, you know, as much as we love
• 1:56:02
  sports, gaming and stuff. I mean it's any walk of life. I
• 1:56:05
  mean there are people that have problems with it. But man, I'll tell
• 1:56:10
  you what. It's crazy. Some of these dollars you do, like four
• 1:56:12
  and a half million, twenty million. It's not small dollars, right,
• 1:56:15
  How do you know four million? You need to gamble? You got four
• 1:56:19
  million? Hey, what are you gambling on? But anyway, craziness.
• 1:56:23
  So as we got a few minutes left here, tell everybody about what's going
• 1:56:27
  on. Off So we've got the giveaways going on this weekend or throughout the
• 1:56:30
  march madness. You know, we want people to come play, We want
• 1:56:32
  people to come enjoy some of the great food here. There is a lot
• 1:56:35
  to do here on the property. Jake, we're giving to win eighty five
• 1:56:41
  inch TV. You didn't need somebody to help you take it home? Oh
• 1:56:44
  right, it's huge. There's a weed whacker and I say weed wager.
• 1:56:48
  That thing looks like what a professional would use. Yeah, I think that's
• 1:56:51
  gonna be I don't don't callote me to this. That looks like a interchangeable
• 1:56:56
  head maybe, but that is a high end industrial weed eater, right,
• 1:57:00
  and they're made from this distance. I can't tell it. I'm having a
• 1:57:02
  removable head where you can put all kinds of other stuff on it. But
• 1:57:05
  nonetheless, even at just a weed eater, that's a high end right eater.
• 1:57:09
  And then the great selection of tools, drills and saws, lots of
• 1:57:14
  cool stuff. All you got to do is use your pen play card.
• 1:57:17
  Come down. Every one hundred dollars you bet, and you don't have to
• 1:57:19
  make a hundred dollar bet. It all adds up, and every you know,
• 1:57:24
  you're five, you're twenty or fifty whatever, it all adds up.
• 1:57:27
  But every time you get to one hundred, that's an entry into our drawing.
• 1:57:30
  And we're gonna do it Saturday the sixth, in between the two games.
• 1:57:34
  That's the night of the Final four. So that Saturday night the sixth
• 1:57:39
  will be the drawing. Lots of cool prizes. Like I said, all
• 1:57:43
  you have to do is use your pen play card, and whenever you come
• 1:57:45
  down, you know if you got any questions. So I always like to
• 1:57:47
  say you got questions, we got answers, you know, And whether it's
• 1:57:51
  me, but there's Rod and Adrian, we got a little bit over there.
• 1:57:56
  We can and if we don't know, we'll find out. We won't
• 1:57:58
  leave you hanging, you know, and put that bet builder on your phone.
• 1:58:01
  That way you can look at everything before you come down, see what
• 1:58:04
  the odds pay, see what's available. There's probably a bet on here that
• 1:58:09
  you didn't even realize you could make, yep. But when you scroll through
• 1:58:12
  looking at all the different options, you know. I'll be back next week
• 1:58:15
  as we get ready to go into the final four weekend, we will talk
• 1:58:16
  a little football. I know we talked briefly about Russell Wilson, and you
• 1:58:21
  think that Justin Fields has a shot to take that job. Why not?
• 1:58:27
  I don't know that Mike Tomlin would just go ahead and give it to the
• 1:58:30
  veteran, right I mean, I would think he would want some competition right
• 1:58:35
  now. You know, I gotta imagine the Steelers aren't going to run as
• 1:58:40
  complicated an offense as Sean Payton runs. You know, where's a whole lot
• 1:58:44
  of timing involved. I mean, they're not like that, and you know
• 1:58:46
  they're not built that way, so I would think it might be a little
• 1:58:51
  bit different. But then you know you're going to pay Fields an awful lot
• 1:58:56
  of money to be a backup, aren't you. But the question is,
• 1:59:00
  is he a starter or is he a backup? Right? You know?
• 1:59:02
  Right right? That is, you get into these questions like you have to
• 1:59:04
  start asking those questions with a lot of these guys that were first round picks.
• 1:59:08
  I mean, yeah, you know we We've done it with Sam Howell,
• 1:59:11
  We've done it with I mean Drew Lock. You know, he wasn't
• 1:59:13
  a first round pick. But you know a lot of these guys are they
• 1:59:15
  You get into the Trey Lances of the world. I mean, he's just
• 1:59:17
  trying to hang on. Now, back it up, right, Prince,
• 1:59:19
  I guess you because of their high draft status, we want to make them
• 1:59:24
  are starter right when maybe they're not. We'll get into more of that real
• 1:59:27
  quickly. Final four ticket prices cheapest final four ticket right now four hundred and
• 1:59:30
  thirty seven dollars cheapest on the secondary market and ten thousand, six hundred and
• 1:59:35
  thirty four if you're going to get close to the floor, ten thousand,
• 1:59:40
  ten thousand. I need a car. I mean, that's I need.
• 1:59:42
  That's almost I mean, just for we may be. We were talking about
• 1:59:45
  this the other day. For four people forty grand that's just to get in
• 1:59:47
  the building. That's as expensive as a Super Bowl right. Yeah, but
• 1:59:53
  wait a minute, so that's for two games. I would assume that is
• 1:59:56
  for the for the session. Yes, oh wait a minute, or you
• 2:00:00
  said final four. Yeah it it just says final four, So I would
• 2:00:03
  assume that for both games. You would have to assume that's for both games.
• 2:00:06
  Yes, okay, so that's not even the championship. It does say
• 2:00:09
  it, right, final four sessions. Okay? Still, oh yeah,
• 2:00:13
  congratulations if you go, you got to pay again if your team gets to
• 2:00:16
  the championship in right, right, Well, I mean you've already made the
• 2:00:20
  trip. You know who has the best best deals on that. It's just
• 2:00:23
  the students. Ah, you know, because they get those that are able
• 2:00:27
  to get them because they go so crazy trying to get those tickets, and
• 2:00:30
  don't blame them, you know, they get a reduced rate, school rate,
• 2:00:31
  that kind of stuff. So yeah, that's the best value is the
• 2:00:35
  students. So it's like a lottery. A lot of them run it that
• 2:00:40
  way. Yeah for sure. Yeah. I mean, if you've got ten
• 2:00:43
  thousand students or twenty thousand students, you only probably got a thousand tickets.
• 2:00:45
  So it's camp out. I mean you've got to you know, it's it's
• 2:00:49
  a hunger games right to get tickets. There's there's no doubt about it.
• 2:00:55
  Wow, real quick, we got about a minute and a half. We
• 2:00:58
  want people to come and see you. We want people to get out of
• 2:01:00
  Gonna be fun, oh right, and all the games are gonna be on.
• 2:01:03
  You know. Like I said, we've got the Kiosk, We've got
• 2:01:06
  the you got the bet builder. We'll be here, the counter will be
• 2:01:11
  open. We've got our little thousand dollars up line. So if you are
• 2:01:15
  on the high end and want to make a wager and there is a little
• 2:01:17
  line, you won't have to wait in line. Yeah, it's it's gonna
• 2:01:20
  be a good time. It is. And and we will be here taking
• 2:01:25
  bets, doing what we do and you know, uh, and giving everybody
• 2:01:30
  as much information as we can. And we'll have every all the games will
• 2:01:32
  be on but not and there's even stuff that's on like true TV. Yeah
• 2:01:38
  we were joking about that yesterday. True TV only becomes relevant once a year,
• 2:01:42
  right now. Yeah, but we've got it. We've got everything,
• 2:01:45
  uh, and then we'll be also like I said, there's girls, there's
• 2:01:47
  hockey, there's n b A uh and it's and if there's something that you're
• 2:01:53
  looking for and you don't see it, ask us and if we if we've
• 2:01:57
  got it, if it's being broadcast with direct TV, we'll put it on
• 2:02:00
  a T We probably won't put it on the big screen, but we'll put
• 2:02:01
  it on a TV somewhere for you. That's for the biggest games as well.
• 2:02:06
  Product production wise, work wise goes to crap the next two days around
• 2:02:12

• 2:02:15
  know now, especially with smartphones and people can watch on their phones and you
• 2:02:18
  know, watch on their computers and all that kind of stuff. Oh yeah,
• 2:02:21

• 2:02:26
