0:40
Speaker 3: It is so apparent from the moment the music starts
0:44
Speaker 3: when DJ Hickscorp is on the ones and twos and
0:48
Speaker 3: Chip is not here.
0:50
Speaker 4: So I was explaining to Ann the other day, you
0:54
Speaker 4: know Chip has his typical Christmas fare. Yeah, he picks
1:01
Speaker 4: walking around in women's underwear is the big I think
1:04
Speaker 4: the one he plays the most, And I'm trying to
1:05
Speaker 4: think of the other one because the slew of Christmas
1:12
Speaker 4: parody songs that have recently come out, which by the way,
1:17
Speaker 4: I still have the Doctor Demento cassette tape of the
1:21
Speaker 4: Doctor Demento Christmas, which I still think is the standard bearer,
1:25
Speaker 4: but so many good ones have come out over the
1:27
Speaker 4: last decade. In fact, I would dare say the Christmas
1:30
Speaker 4: parody songs of the last decade far exceed any of
1:33
Speaker 4: the just regular Christmas songs that have been produced over
1:37
Speaker 4: the last decade, because people just don't have the creativity anymore.
1:42
Speaker 3: My two cents Chip Hower Sports Talk Today taken over
1:45
Speaker 3: by Jason and Jared Jason Corneli's Jared Hicks on Sports
1:47
Speaker 3: Trade eleven fift Damn The Zone ninety three seven FM.
1:50
Speaker 3: We got this call like it's time. Yeah, it was
1:54
Speaker 3: the Pinch.
1:54
Speaker 4: It it was twenty five hours ago because I was
1:57
Speaker 4: driving to pick up Peyton from Oakwood when the text
2:00
Speaker 4: came in.
2:00
Speaker 3: The Pinch hit coming in for Chip Today. And we
2:02
Speaker 3: are always happy to do it, and I know, super
2:04
Speaker 3: excited to do it because some things that we're going
2:06
Speaker 3: to look back at, but also things that we're going
2:08
Speaker 3: to look forward at, like this is not I don't
2:11
Speaker 3: is there has there ever been a bigger week for
2:17
Speaker 3: all of Aggie athletics.
2:20
Speaker 4: Okay, I and I purposely worded it that way.
2:23
Speaker 3: Oh I know you did.
2:24
Speaker 4: I did say one of the because yes, A and
2:28
Speaker 4: M playing first round of the College football Playoffs, obvious
2:32
Speaker 4: time ever biggest game probably for A and M football really,
2:39
Speaker 4: I mean, I dare say since the nineteen fifties because
2:42
Speaker 4: I don't think ever well and except for the nineteen
2:46
Speaker 4: thirty nine oh well, but yeah, biggest one.
2:49
Speaker 3: That was like a week I mean, and again going
2:51
Speaker 3: back to that, that was a yes, the title that
2:53
Speaker 3: we took, like right.
2:56
Speaker 4: But to also have volleyball in the final four playing
2:59
Speaker 4: Thursday night, which the only downside to A and M
3:03
Speaker 4: being in the College Football Playoff is taking away potential
3:07
Speaker 4: Aggies from making the trip up to Kansas City, because
3:10
Speaker 4: honestly speaking, Ann and I love case, we probably would have.
3:14
Speaker 4: I don't think you go there about once a yain. Yeah,
3:19
Speaker 4: the hard part would have been trying to get there
3:22
Speaker 4: on a Thursday, but that they won that game probably
3:24
Speaker 4: would have gone up for Sunday. But obviously now going
3:27
Speaker 4: with the football game, but I still believe that the
3:29
Speaker 4: volleyball diehards will be in case we well represented.
3:32
Speaker 3: Yeah they will and again hearing everybody, including our friend,
3:36
Speaker 3: which like that has been a growing fan base, but
3:39
Speaker 3: a growing fan base because of how well that team
3:42
Speaker 3: and like it just they have been building upon this
3:45
Speaker 3: for a few years now and to see them and again,
3:48
Speaker 3: I don't know how to get people to understand the
3:54
Speaker 3: level of what they just did beating Nebraska in Nebraska
4:00
Speaker 3: and what that like, I don't know the the appropriate
4:03
Speaker 3: like parallel to what Nebraska volleyball is, especially in football,
4:08
Speaker 3: Like I don't.
4:09
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, I would dare say it's beating
4:13
Speaker 4: the Yukon women's basketball team in Connecticut, yep, or you know,
4:17
Speaker 4: getting a game against Don Staley's South Carolina. I mean
4:21
Speaker 4: it's something to that on that.
4:23
Speaker 3: Degree of Yukon one four straight when uh Trossi was there.
4:29
Speaker 3: That's got That's the closest I can think of to
4:32
Speaker 3: where Nebraska volleyball is because like heck, we can even
4:36
Speaker 3: say we beat Bama Saban's Alabama in Alaba and Tuscaloosa before,
4:41
Speaker 3: so like I can't even compare it to really that
4:43
Speaker 3: because other teams have like you don't win in Nebraska.
4:47
Speaker 4: And more so when you when you talk about football.
4:49
Speaker 4: I mean, you were talking one game sample, and when
4:51
Speaker 4: we start talking about the college football playoff in the
4:53
Speaker 4: second hour, this one game sample is going to become
4:56
Speaker 4: a topic of conversation. The thing with volleyball, and like,
4:59
Speaker 4: watch watching the game against Louisville Friday night. We were
5:02
Speaker 4: in Austin. It was on TV, just prior to a
5:06
Speaker 4: Christmas party, and I had to stop watching because I
5:08
Speaker 4: was like, this is going to bring me down because
5:10
Speaker 4: we were in the first set, Louisville came back to win,
5:13
Speaker 4: and then they started off the second set strong, and
5:15
Speaker 4: I'm like, no, this is where the ride ends. And
5:18
Speaker 4: then get the score update at the party and it's
5:22
Speaker 4: like A and M three sets straight. And then to
5:25
Speaker 4: come on Sunday and do that against Nebraska.
5:28
Speaker 3: I don't know if Alison Harrell is listening or if
5:32
Speaker 3: her husband Killer is listening, but he almost jinks the
5:35
Speaker 3: entire thing. So they we are getting ready to go
5:39
Speaker 3: into the third set, and he sends a message saying,
5:41
Speaker 3: I don't want to jinx it, but we're about to
5:43
Speaker 3: beat Nebraska in Nebraska. And that was going into the
5:46
Speaker 3: third which was the third set was the I'm glad
5:49
Speaker 3: we won. He redeemed himself and that they or they
5:51
Speaker 3: redeemed him, that they won. But like you people, you
5:54
Speaker 3: don't do that. Don't do that, you don't do that.
5:56
Speaker 4: That's why at halftime day after things giving, I wasn't
6:00
Speaker 4: saying a word publicly. Oh no, not at all, but
6:05
Speaker 4: I wasn't saying it.
6:06
Speaker 3: A really good friend and so I was in San Antonio.
6:10
Speaker 3: We are playing Memphis for a chance to go to
6:15
Speaker 3: the lead eight and my friend like weird, like like
6:19
Speaker 3: and my friend I was like, are you ready to
6:20
Speaker 3: go to Atlanta? And I'm like, at that moment, because
6:25
Speaker 3: because that was you final four was Atlanta, I had
6:27
Speaker 3: already like separately, I had already talked to family like
6:30
Speaker 3: if this happens, I'm going to be staying on your
6:32
Speaker 3: couch because we had we had killed Ohio State that year.
6:36
Speaker 3: If we had just gotten by Memphis.
6:37
Speaker 4: Ye, So Anne and her brother drove down for that game.
6:41
Speaker 4: I couldn't make it because I was at a rotary thing.
6:43
Speaker 4: But she texted me and that kind of the same
6:46
Speaker 4: action as he was like.
6:49
Speaker 3: Do that, Yeah, you can't. You can't just just just
6:52
Speaker 3: let her ride out. So, yes, killer, you redeemed or
6:54
Speaker 3: you were redeemed by a very very good women's volleyball team,
7:00
Speaker 3: and I just I can't like.
7:01
Speaker 4: So going back to your original quest, Yes, I do
7:05
Speaker 4: believe it is probably the biggest It may be the
7:08
Speaker 4: biggest week in all of Aggie athletics. I do think
7:10
Speaker 4: back to you know, twenty eleven, the women's basketball team,
7:15
Speaker 4: both of the women's softball teams World Series twenty twenty
7:22
Speaker 4: or the twenty twenty four men's baseball World Series win.
7:26
Speaker 4: Those were huge, huge events as we drew near. But
7:31
Speaker 4: the fact that you have both of these sports playing
7:33
Speaker 4: with so much on the line, yes, within seventy two
7:37
Speaker 4: hours of each other.
7:37
Speaker 3: And that's the thing because I'm thinking back, Okay, so
7:39
Speaker 3: we know when tennis one, that was like there there
7:43
Speaker 3: was nobody else around. There's because and we've had some
7:46
Speaker 3: of the non tradition.
7:48
Speaker 4: By the way, we're not trying to be little any
7:50
Speaker 4: of what Track's been able to do, what golf is
7:52
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, I just from the context of with
7:55
Speaker 4: two sports.
7:56
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying all of. Yeah, when you're I'm
7:58
Speaker 3: trying to look at like all it because when Track won,
8:01
Speaker 3: like no nobody else was around them. That was I mean,
8:03
Speaker 3: baseball didn't live up to what they were trying to
8:06
Speaker 3: live up to when track was winning. This passport like
8:07
Speaker 3: all of those like to have all of this going
8:10
Speaker 3: on right now, right now.
8:12
Speaker 4: And is at this level because it's not like, oh,
8:15
Speaker 4: we're just we're just dipping our toe into the playoffs.
8:19
Speaker 4: It's like, no, this this is the series. This is
8:21
Speaker 4: the serious thing. Because if the volleyball team wins on Thursday,
8:25
Speaker 4: then they're playing Sunday for the championship. If football wins
8:30
Speaker 4: on Saturday, they're playing in Dallas in the Cotton Bowl
8:35
Speaker 4: against Ohio State New Year's Eve.
8:38
Speaker 3: And that is like, again unbelievable, and and we will
8:42
Speaker 3: get more into that, but yeah, just how this is
8:45
Speaker 3: all stacking up and how this is all like it is.
8:48
Speaker 4: Just so so all to say. When Chip textans like
8:50
Speaker 4: do you want to host, It's like yes, except I
8:54
Speaker 4: gotta find out if my kids can.
8:57
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah it was again, and you and I talked
9:00
Speaker 3: about this summertimes. We always appreciate when when Chip reaches
9:03
Speaker 3: out to us, he he normally gives us a little
9:05
Speaker 3: more lead time than.
9:06
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, in certain things come up, in
9:09
Speaker 4: certain certain circumstances, you can make it happen. But man,
9:12
Speaker 4: you this this week, with everything going on, you know,
9:16
Speaker 4: Christmas related, school related, and sports related, we are we
9:21
Speaker 4: are scrambling to to find the babysitting capacity that we need.
9:25
Speaker 3: Because everybody, yeah that is have Okay, so okay, sweet
9:29
Speaker 3: peas still in sixth grade, so is have How have
9:33
Speaker 3: y'all left them at the house yet?
9:37
Speaker 4: Next question? Yes, uh, for a I know, Peyton's definitely
9:46
Speaker 4: not old enough to baby said no, not like an hour,
9:51
Speaker 4: an hour at a time. I mean, they're they're they
9:55
Speaker 4: are not just capable, I mean they are very well.
9:58
Speaker 3: Y'all are raising some amazing young ladies.
10:00
Speaker 4: And so are you. I don't I mean, for God's sake,
10:03
Speaker 4: the example you're leading for your kids. Man, that's gonna
10:07
Speaker 4: be some big shoes to fill. But I know they're
10:09
Speaker 4: they're going to be up to the task because of
10:10
Speaker 4: their parents. But thank you for that. I mean, but
10:14
Speaker 4: in the context of you know how this would normally work,
10:17
Speaker 4: it's just the fact of I've got we've got another
10:22
Speaker 4: Christmas party on Thursday. Then you have this football game early,
10:26
Speaker 4: you know, early Saturday morning, which man, and.
10:29
Speaker 3: And here's the thing, and and we can get in
10:31
Speaker 3: this little bit more later. Like I I do not
10:34
Speaker 3: like and I know I don't like how the NFL
10:39
Speaker 3: is just just basically swinging it and saying we are
10:42
Speaker 3: going to do what everyone because the college like the
10:44
Speaker 3: main reason why the Saturday games there is earlies are
10:46
Speaker 3: because they don't want to compete with the NFL games
10:49
Speaker 3: that are going on later that night. But why is
10:50
Speaker 3: the the NFL has now known about the college football
10:55
Speaker 3: playoff for the for this length of it, for now
10:57
Speaker 3: two years. They know that this is a thing, but
10:59
Speaker 3: they're still like, that's a Saturday we want December.
11:01
Speaker 4: But not just not only do they know about it,
11:03
Speaker 4: I mean from the standpoint of this is your minor
11:08
Speaker 4: league feeder systems, uh huh, Like you should be playing
11:12
Speaker 4: ball better with this as opposed to say, the other
11:15
Speaker 4: sports where you are trying to put the foot down,
11:18
Speaker 4: like on Christmas Day in the NBA. But you know,
11:22
Speaker 4: for the teams, like, I don't get, do you prefer
11:27
Speaker 4: to play on a Saturday where it's one day shorter
11:31
Speaker 4: of preparation But I guess you get one extra day
11:34
Speaker 4: of rest ahead of the following week. That part I
11:38
Speaker 4: don't necessarily get. But you know, the NFL is about
11:42
Speaker 4: to throw out the eighteenth game, like that's probably gonna
11:46
Speaker 4: come to pass. But I agree, I mean also, I
11:50
Speaker 4: also just don't like the fact that the College Football
11:54
Speaker 4: Playoff is an invitational built for television.
11:56
Speaker 3: Oh, it is a TV show.
11:59
Speaker 4: You're telling me that Oregon James Madison deserves the primetime slot.
12:09
Speaker 4: Granted it's on T n T and HBO Max, but
12:14
Speaker 4: that deserves a primetime spot. And arguably the two probably
12:19
Speaker 4: the two teams ranked six or lower that have an
12:23
Speaker 4: opportunity to actually go the distance is eleven o'clock on Saturday.
12:27
Speaker 4: That part I have trouble.
12:29
Speaker 3: With, Well, what I was, what I'm thinking and what
12:32
Speaker 3: people are basically kind of say is or trying to
12:35
Speaker 3: say is And I understand it from a again, for
12:39
Speaker 3: it being a TV show. They want the better games
12:41
Speaker 3: to be able to have the most eyeballs. Ye, not
12:43
Speaker 3: competing against the NFL because again yeah, Oregon and Oregon
12:49
Speaker 3: Boys state. Am I saying that one right? Neither way?
12:53
Speaker 3: No orgon JMU is that unless things just completely fun,
13:00
Speaker 3: that one should be over very quickly, and so they unders.
13:05
Speaker 4: Like Jeleno miss you know, getting getting the two thirty
13:08
Speaker 4: spot again it's on tn T. I mean, I'm with
13:12
Speaker 4: you from the standpoint of for ESPN, they are getting
13:16
Speaker 4: the best game, they're getting the two they're getting the.
13:17
Speaker 3: Two best games if they can't the Friday night game
13:20
Speaker 3: and hour, they're getting that to where they are not
13:22
Speaker 3: competing with the NFL.
13:24
Speaker 4: I just for me, if if we had an m
13:28
Speaker 4: Miami Friday Night Kyle Field, to me, that seems like
13:32
Speaker 4: a much more compelling products.
13:37
Speaker 3: Of OU Alabama and I and I get that. But
13:40
Speaker 3: here's the other Like, that's.
13:42
Speaker 5: Why the college football playoff system, whoever is in charge
13:46
Speaker 5: of that, needs to step up and talk to an
13:48
Speaker 5: NFL and be like, hey, they like stay off of Saturday.
13:52
Speaker 3: Like this is like give us this. As you said,
13:56
Speaker 3: if we are supposed to be giving you your future players,
13:58
Speaker 3: y'all need to be able to give us this well.
14:00
Speaker 4: And more to the point, with the NFL at this
14:02
Speaker 4: point in the game, keep your games on Sunday. I
14:05
Speaker 4: mean that's what that's what makes because.
14:07
Speaker 3: You have Thursdays, Sunday and Monday, some.
14:11
Speaker 4: Of these games on Sunday. And we'll get to the
14:13
Speaker 4: schedule in a minute. That's gonna be some unwatchable garbage. Yes,
14:16
Speaker 4: but you're gonna be forced to watch it because you're
14:19
Speaker 4: only gonna have maybe three games to choose for them
14:22
Speaker 4: at a time.
14:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's it. But yeah, you have you already
14:24
Speaker 3: have Thursday, then you have Sunday, and like leave Saturdays alone.
14:30
Speaker 3: Final app is coming up here in just a second,
14:32
Speaker 3: and then Jared and I will be back on the
14:34
Speaker 3: other side. The Final app is brought to you by

15:13
Speaker 4: NASCAR has been hinting at adding horsepower, especially when it
15:16
Speaker 4: comes to short tracks.
15:17
Speaker 7: So what does Cup Series driver Ryan Priese have to
15:20
Speaker 7: think about that.
15:21
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean that's a really tough deal to answer
15:24
Speaker 8: because I don't know all the pieces. What I do
15:27
Speaker 8: know is that, you know, from the driver's standpoint, I
15:30
Speaker 8: wish we would be able to go to a test
15:32
Speaker 8: and overshoot it, give us too much and just have
15:37
Speaker 8: to dial it back from there, because you know, I
15:40
Speaker 8: feel like we need I know, a thousand horse powers
15:43
Speaker 8: seems like a big number, but in my eyes, with
15:46
Speaker 8: the car away and thirty five hundred pounds, you're going
15:50
Speaker 8: to need a big percentage increase to notice I think
15:55
Speaker 8: what we're trying to accomplish. But yeah, I think there's
15:58
Speaker 8: so many different ways you can go about it. I'd
16:02
Speaker 8: just like to see us try to try to test
16:04
Speaker 8: on the a lot more side. Obviously, Richmond's a staple
16:09
Speaker 8: when it comes to NASCAR and the schedule, so I
16:13
Speaker 8: think it's going to be packed, you know, going there
16:16
Speaker 8: one time a year and and really just the racing
16:19
Speaker 8: that it's it's gonna put out there is going to
16:22
Speaker 8: be second to none. So I'm excited about it.
16:26
Speaker 9: Also, I think.
16:27
Speaker 8: For for a lot of us, I believe we're running
16:30
Speaker 8: the option tire that we ran last year and and
16:33
Speaker 8: maybe somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, but that'll
16:37
Speaker 8: that'll create a different dynamic as well.
16:39
Speaker 3: This is the final app.
16:40

18:01
Speaker 14: Hello put off the end Redium?
18:07
Speaker 3: They did you ever thought him?
18:10
Speaker 15: You didn't even say.
18:13
Speaker 9: The other region.
18:17
Speaker 3: RP going in any Raine game probably. And I was
18:23
Speaker 3: watching and a couple of artists from that time frame
18:33
Speaker 3: from like ninety nine to six or seven way and
18:37
Speaker 3: I heard it was Nelly was doing an interview and
18:41
Speaker 3: he's like, really before that because hip hop hadn't really
18:46
Speaker 3: picked up as much and after that it's been but
18:49
Speaker 3: like he's like he's like he had to compete against himself,
18:52
Speaker 3: Eminem Jay Z, d m X, Like there was so
18:57
Speaker 3: like like and they were all dropping like huge albums.
19:02
Speaker 4: And I mean really and I know this isn't necessarily
19:07
Speaker 4: the entertainment segment, but if we, if we, and we
19:10
Speaker 4: won't stray too much into it. Watching the Netflix documentary, okay,
19:19
Speaker 4: it reminds you of the vacuum that was left in
19:23
Speaker 4: ninety seven.
19:24
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean that's so yeah.
19:27
Speaker 4: After basically basically, once you have that and the fact
19:32
Speaker 4: that death Row goes under Snoop is kind of left
19:37
Speaker 4: to to he he goes, he ends up at no
19:41
Speaker 4: limits because I mean he he is, he is literally
19:44
Speaker 4: just floundering. Dre obviously produces finds eminem that then.
19:51
Speaker 3: But that took a while. The aftermath didn't come forward, while.
19:55
Speaker 4: Well it comes because I remember the one and then
20:00
Speaker 4: it's like, well, I guess he's kind of just doing
20:03
Speaker 4: it and then but yeah, you're right, I mean that
20:06
Speaker 4: vacuum allows for all these artists to get that music
20:10
Speaker 4: out there, hit the airwaves, fill that void, especially when
20:15
Speaker 4: you're competing against boy band bubblegum pop and you need
20:20
Speaker 4: something that just goes in the complete opposite direction, because
20:24
Speaker 4: at that point rock music is definitely on the way out, right,
20:29
Speaker 4: because then we get into the butt rock era of
20:32
Speaker 4: Nickelback and all that garbage. But I mean, yeah, and
20:40
Speaker 4: that was a I mean, it's not quite as fierce
20:44
Speaker 4: as it is now from the the disc track, but
20:49
Speaker 4: it was still pretty competitive from the standpoint of you
20:53
Speaker 4: had you had, you still kind of had that West Coast,
20:56
Speaker 4: Third Coast Atlanta and then the East Coast, those different
21:00
Speaker 4: styles and then Nelly comes along just out.
21:03
Speaker 3: Out of the way and nobody expected it. But yeah,
21:06
Speaker 3: so much going on CHIP our sports talk today Jason
21:08
Speaker 3: Corno's Jared Hicks and for Chip he called us out
21:11
Speaker 3: of the bullpen to day to come in on a
21:13
Speaker 3: Tuesday afternoon. A lot going on obviously in Aggie athletics
21:17
Speaker 3: this week. We talked about that a little bit. Going
21:20
Speaker 3: to get into a little bit of quick NFL talk
21:23
Speaker 3: is that's again we talked about it just for a
21:25
Speaker 3: second of how the NFL needs to kind of take
21:28
Speaker 3: a step back and let college football have it Saturdays.
21:31
Speaker 3: But they're not doing that, even though they might, as
21:34
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the screen right now, of the amount
21:36
Speaker 3: of injuries that happened over the week.
21:39
Speaker 4: Okay, not just this weekend, let's talk about for the year.
21:41
Speaker 4: I mean, because the weekend was devastating in and of itself. Obviously,
21:44
Speaker 4: if you don't already know. Patrick Mahomes goes down with
21:46
Speaker 4: a torn ACL and apparently also an LCL injury.
21:50
Speaker 3: He had surgery.
21:50
Speaker 4: This is surgery this morning, which for those out there
21:54
Speaker 4: who have ailments that have been trying to get surgery,
21:58
Speaker 4: and you got to get on the dock like two
22:00
Speaker 4: or three months in advance. Man be the best football
22:04
Speaker 4: football player in Kansas City and they find room for it.
22:07
Speaker 4: But also Michael Parsons going Parsons going down, which when
22:11
Speaker 4: you watch that, you.
22:13
Speaker 3: Knew non contact injury, which I.
22:16
Speaker 4: Was gonna bring up to you. It's we are at
22:19
Speaker 4: a point now where whether it's the NFL or it's
22:22
Speaker 4: the NBA, when you see a player go down in
22:26
Speaker 4: a certain way, when they start grabbing the extremity the
22:30
Speaker 4: way they do, you know it's a ACL when it's
22:34
Speaker 4: the knee. You know it's achilles tear when it's so
22:37
Speaker 4: this year alone, there have been thirty torn acls in
22:42
Speaker 4: the NFL and seasons still not over. Last year they
22:46
Speaker 4: were thirty eight, and twenty twenty three there were forty three,
22:48
Speaker 4: in twenty two there were fifty one, and in twenty
22:51
Speaker 4: one they were fifty seven torn acls.
22:54
Speaker 3: I I will say, and I know and I understand,
22:58
Speaker 3: And even going back, I heard it on some some
23:03
Speaker 3: thing that I was watching the other day when they
23:06
Speaker 3: talked about what coach Saban would do as far as
23:09
Speaker 3: like you still do hard tackling, you just don't go
23:12
Speaker 3: to the ground. And I heard coach Schmidt at kinsall
23:16
Speaker 3: say that, like they go good on good and you
23:18
Speaker 3: do full tackling, you just do not go to the ground.
23:22
Speaker 3: And what I think has happened this is me I
23:24
Speaker 3: am not as and tune into what they were looking
23:28
Speaker 3: at when they started when when the NFLPA negotiated like
23:33
Speaker 3: less contact in preseason and less contact during training camp
23:39
Speaker 3: and and all like that, your body's not ready for
23:44
Speaker 3: everything that is going on because you haven't told your
23:47
Speaker 3: body that you're ready for that. And so one of
23:51
Speaker 3: the things I think about, like if they go to
23:52
Speaker 3: the eighteen game season that you're talking about, like that
23:55
Speaker 3: it is coming, like don't for a second thing that's
23:57
Speaker 3: not But I also think that they need to expand
24:00
Speaker 3: the roster, which I think they said they're going to do.
24:02
Speaker 3: That's one of the things come up. But like you
24:04
Speaker 3: can't play for two games, like you like you are
24:07
Speaker 3: ineligible for two of those eighteen games, like, and the
24:11
Speaker 3: roster's bigger. You just got to figure it out, and
24:13
Speaker 3: coaches have to figure out who and when they want
24:15
Speaker 3: to play. But like, you can't keep putting their bodies
24:18
Speaker 3: through this, especially because if they go to that eighteen
24:20
Speaker 3: gay say, I wouldn't want a long preseason either now,
24:24
Speaker 3: So you've got to be able to manage that.
24:27
Speaker 4: Obviously, when we get into the college football discussion, we
24:30
Speaker 4: started talking about bowl games, and you know, there's all
24:32
Speaker 4: the discussion about opting out and things like that. A
24:35
Speaker 4: lot of that is just due to the fact you
24:37
Speaker 4: don't want to put your body at risk for a
24:40
Speaker 4: meaningless game.
24:41
Speaker 3: YEP.
24:41
Speaker 4: In the context of the NFL. Every in the regular
24:44
Speaker 4: season of college football, every game is important, every game matters.
24:48
Speaker 4: But you are essentially and I don't I hate to
24:51
Speaker 4: use this expression, but what you are putting your body through,
24:54
Speaker 4: you are going to war every week because when you
24:56
Speaker 4: talk to these players post their career, especially when you
25:00
Speaker 4: talk to offensive and defensive linemen, their bodies are wrecked.
25:04
Speaker 3: And everyone says that you were in a car wreck
25:07
Speaker 3: every every eight like you are.
25:08
Speaker 4: It is and that and the thing with Michael Parsons
25:12
Speaker 4: when you watch that play, because he's pursuing bon Nicks.
25:16
Speaker 4: Like you say, it's non contact, but when they slow
25:19
Speaker 4: it down, and especially when they show that camera angle
25:21
Speaker 4: coming out of the end zone, so you're seeing it
25:23
Speaker 4: from bo Nix's back and you're seeing Micah Parsons front facing,
25:27
Speaker 4: and you see that body, that body weight shift from
25:30
Speaker 4: right to left and then he's having to shift to
25:34
Speaker 4: the right again. And they slow it down and you
25:36
Speaker 4: watch that knee. It shifts left, then right, and then
25:42
Speaker 4: it does this buckling thing while his leg is still stationary.
25:47
Speaker 4: That's just the sheer force of this two to almost
25:53
Speaker 4: three hundred pounds individual running at full speed trying to
25:57
Speaker 4: turn on a dime. That's why you know, or uh,
26:01
Speaker 4: you know, the reports are Le'Veon Bell is still questionable
26:04
Speaker 4: on his return. One of the reasons A and M
26:07
Speaker 4: has been successful this year is because they have a
26:10
Speaker 4: physical therapist on staff. And I know these two, I
26:13
Speaker 4: know a number of these teams probably do have a
26:15
Speaker 4: PT on staff. There are teams that you get the
26:18
Speaker 4: feeling they're probably not spending the money on that Cincinnati
26:21
Speaker 4: and Cleveland, because your play you have so many players
26:24
Speaker 4: who are constantly getting injured or not being able to
26:26
Speaker 4: come back from injury as quickly. But I think that's
26:29
Speaker 4: going to have to become a standard from top to bottom.
26:32
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously you're not gonna be able to afford
26:35
Speaker 4: a PT at the high school level, but when you're
26:36
Speaker 4: talking about pros in college, you're gonna have to start
26:39
Speaker 4: incorporating this into your conditioning because the human body can
26:45
Speaker 4: only take so much, and especially at this level, at
26:49
Speaker 4: this speed and this size. Because again we look fondly
26:56
Speaker 4: back on you know, the seventies and the eighties and
26:59
Speaker 4: the nineineties and the iron Curtain of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
27:04
Speaker 4: If you were to take the defense of the Pittsburgh
27:07
Speaker 4: Steelers in the seventies and compare that to any NFL
27:11
Speaker 4: defense right now, there's probably about one hundred to one
27:13
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty pounds difference.
27:15
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, without questioning the guy and you talk about
27:19
Speaker 3: I mean in every sport, bigger, faster, stronger guys, and
27:22
Speaker 3: basketball was that they're jumping higher like that because and again,
27:27
Speaker 3: the technology that we have to train ourselves is so
27:32
Speaker 3: much better than it has ever been and that's why
27:35
Speaker 3: you see these athletes being able to do the things
27:37
Speaker 3: that they that they can do, but in certain circumstances
27:41
Speaker 3: the training is outpacing with the body can actually handle it.
27:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean think about this. We have I guess
27:52
Speaker 4: at this point we have about thirty almost forty years
27:55
Speaker 4: of data on creating and it's all pretty solid. But
28:02
Speaker 4: we still don't know necessary and I'm not trying to
28:04
Speaker 4: I mean, I use it, I believe in it. We
28:06
Speaker 4: still don't know long term all the effects of all
28:11
Speaker 4: the supplements people are taking on. What does it do
28:14
Speaker 4: to your ligaments, what does it due to the muscle tissue,
28:16
Speaker 4: How does it affect bone structure? Because you know, we
28:21
Speaker 4: obviously thought HGH was a great thing and it didn't
28:24
Speaker 4: take long for that to go away, even though it's
28:26
Speaker 4: still being used. So anyway, bottom line is, yeah, if
28:31
Speaker 4: you're going to expand the schedule, you're gonna have to
28:34
Speaker 4: incorporate ways that these bodies can recover. Because I forget
28:40
Speaker 4: the the Colt's lineman who was doing he was doing
28:46
Speaker 4: an interview and basically when he was in the last
28:48
Speaker 4: two years of his career, he didn't even practice Monday
28:51
Speaker 4: for Wednesday. He showed up on Thursday because his body,
28:53
Speaker 4: the body, his body just could not function on Sunday
28:57
Speaker 4: if he had been going through practice for five days
29:00
Speaker 4: during the m you have.
29:01
Speaker 3: To be able to rest recuperate. But that's also why
29:04
Speaker 3: you see certain players like a Lebron James who spends
29:09
Speaker 3: millions on his body and again whether it's the hyperbaric chamber,
29:15
Speaker 3: and not everybody can afford that. But that's also how
29:17
Speaker 3: I agree with you that certain teams need to be
29:20
Speaker 3: able to help these players in certain aspects of that
29:23
Speaker 3: also because not everybody is a Lebron James.
29:25
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're making the investment in these players,
29:27
Speaker 4: and I know some teams just kind of look them
29:30
Speaker 4: as disposable assets, but if you're making the investment in
29:33
Speaker 4: these players because you're winning a championship, you got to
29:35
Speaker 4: make the investment in all the aspects of conditioning and recovery.
29:41
Speaker 4: And I really do believe over the next decade it's
29:44
Speaker 4: going to be the teams that are focusing on that
29:45
Speaker 4: that you will see can have the longer success and
29:48
Speaker 4: more importantly, you will see the players that can can
29:50
Speaker 4: have a longer career. I mean, I know a lot
29:54
Speaker 4: of it's concussion oriented, but to a tackle Bloa after
29:58
Speaker 4: last night's game, you and Mike McDaniels pretty much indicated it.
30:01
Speaker 4: He's probably gonna bench and he's probably on his way out.
30:03
Speaker 4: And he's twenty seven, and even he's playing like a
30:07
Speaker 4: thirty seven year old quarterback.
30:08
Speaker 3: He absolutely is. High school report coming up in just
30:12
Speaker 3: a second, Jared and I will be back after that.

Speaker 13: going out to the Polaris Fun Center Full one to
32:39
Speaker 13: visit with the head girls basketball coach for the Madisonville Mustang.
32:42
Speaker 13: To Lenick Neely, thank you for joining us.
32:44
Speaker 3: How are you doing today?
32:46
Speaker 16: I'm not good.
32:48
Speaker 13: You've you and your team have struggled a bit so
32:50
Speaker 13: far this season. What are some areas you think your
32:52
Speaker 13: team is struggling with the most?
32:55
Speaker 16: Right now, we're struggling with sighs, a lot. You don't
32:58
Speaker 16: have a lot of you know, tall people, and we're
33:00
Speaker 16: definitely struggling. Struggling the area rebounding and rebounding and communication.
33:06
Speaker 16: A lot of times they want to talk outside basketball,
33:08
Speaker 16: but then when it comes to the court, were kind
33:10
Speaker 16: of quiet, you know. So we're struggling in that area,
33:13
Speaker 16: and I think you could get way better on rebounding
33:17
Speaker 16: and defense. The defensive areas where I'm worried at.
33:21
Speaker 13: Yeah, what are some areas that you think your team
33:24
Speaker 13: is doing well despite the challenges you face so far?
33:29
Speaker 16: I think that we've overcome so much adversity because you know,
33:33
Speaker 16: I lost my leading scorer who was averaging like eighteen
33:36
Speaker 16: points a game. She tore her ato and so I
33:40
Speaker 16: had somebody else to have to step up. So and
33:42
Speaker 16: I think that overall, you know, they work really hard,
33:45
Speaker 16: and they go hard, and they always finish the game.
33:48
Speaker 16: And I have a couple of good leaders on my team,
33:52
Speaker 16: two of my returners two and my point guard has
33:54
Speaker 16: been doing really really well. And I think we've done
33:57
Speaker 16: well with shooting, but I know that shots on everything.
34:02
Speaker 16: To me, I just feel like defense and rebounds is
34:04
Speaker 16: more important. But overall, I think they were playing well
34:07
Speaker 16: as a team, which is getting better every day, and
34:09
Speaker 16: they worked really hard, So I can't You can't beat that.
34:12
Speaker 13: Yeah, absolutely. And you talked a little bit about, you know,
34:17
Speaker 13: players that have stepped up, who graduated last season that
34:20
Speaker 13: left the big shoes to fill, and who's stepped up
34:22
Speaker 13: the season to fill those shoes. Is there anyone that
34:24
Speaker 13: you'd like to call out, anyone that's been doing really
34:25
Speaker 13: well or surprised you even, Yes.
34:29
Speaker 16: Actually my number one her name is Keeley Green and
34:32
Speaker 16: she's about five to one. But home shooting has been
34:36
Speaker 16: fabulous this year. Uh she really, she's really been shooting
34:39
Speaker 16: well from the behind the arc. The three winner. He
34:42
Speaker 16: at least makes at least like two two threes a game,
34:44
Speaker 16: and she's really stepped up vocally and she pushes them.
34:48
Speaker 16: And I also have a return of that. Also our
34:50
Speaker 16: defensive starter, which is obvious defensive player who is Her
34:53
Speaker 16: name is Martin Major and she's she's a junior this year,
34:57
Speaker 16: and so she really gets to start on defense. She
35:00
Speaker 16: gets us a bunch of steals, she works hard, she
35:02
Speaker 16: gets us a bunch of offensive rebounds when we do
35:04
Speaker 16: get them. She's the one who usually works worked hard
35:07
Speaker 16: for okay. And also I have another one, my senior,
35:11
Speaker 16: key Maya Done, which is also another shooter. She's been
35:14
Speaker 16: doing well. She's been doing more than just shooting. She's
35:17
Speaker 16: dropping to the basket, she's making plays high IQ. So
35:21
Speaker 16: I got a couple of good a couple of great
35:23
Speaker 16: players on my team, and I'm very thankful to have
35:26
Speaker 16: more than two, you know, more than one, more than
35:28
Speaker 16: one or two.
35:28
Speaker 3: So yeah.
35:29
Speaker 13: Absolutely. You talked about, you know, some of the main seniors.
35:33
Speaker 13: How many seniors do you have on your team this year?
35:35
Speaker 13: Who's leaving this season that's going to be difficult to replace?
35:39
Speaker 16: Oh my god, I have I have a big three.
35:42
Speaker 16: So and my the girl toory THEO, she'll be back.
35:45
Speaker 16: Her name is Quinetia Safer and she will be She
35:47
Speaker 16: supposed to coming back in January. And I have the
35:50
Speaker 16: other two, which is number one Keeley Green, and then
35:53
Speaker 16: number two, I mean, then number four Key Maya Done,
35:56
Speaker 16: who's who's going to be graduating. And they've been playing
35:58
Speaker 16: together since they were little and so I always called
36:02
Speaker 16: him the Big three three. And so they have been
36:05
Speaker 16: really good. And they all were freshman on varsity and
36:09
Speaker 16: so they know what to expect, and they very experienced
36:11
Speaker 16: and they bring a lot to the games. For placing
36:14
Speaker 16: them is going to be big, especially when you're losing
36:16
Speaker 16: your point guard and she's a quarterback.
36:18
Speaker 13: So yeah, absolutely, Yeah. If you had to choose, which
36:21
Speaker 13: opponent do you think is given your team the hardest
36:23
Speaker 13: time this season? And where do you think they challenged
36:25
Speaker 13: you the most?
36:28
Speaker 16: The art Well, we had we went to a tournament
36:32
Speaker 16: in Dallas with all five and six a's, So I
36:36
Speaker 16: think that was a real circle for it because you know,
36:39
Speaker 16: in five and six days they have a lot of heights.
36:41
Speaker 16: So we played a six three girl and man, that
36:44
Speaker 16: was a challenge. It was hard to stop her because
36:46
Speaker 16: she was kind of like a you know, like a
36:47
Speaker 16: KD someone is tall, pull up and three for the
36:50
Speaker 16: jumper and everything she had all he had an all
36:53
Speaker 16: around game, so she was really hard to top. So
36:54
Speaker 16: I think our team that we played in Dallas and
36:57
Speaker 16: that name was Friendship and she's actually a taken, sick
36:59
Speaker 16: commit and man, yes, he was very hard to stop,
37:02
Speaker 16: but he's a great player.
37:03
Speaker 13: Yeah, you faced rock Wall in your last game. What
37:07
Speaker 13: do you think went well and where do you think
37:09
Speaker 13: your team was challenged?
37:12
Speaker 16: What went well is that I think that we started running.
37:15
Speaker 16: We started executing our offense and law, and that's another
37:19
Speaker 16: one of our circles to is executing our offense when
37:21
Speaker 16: the person is on. And I think that we gave
37:24
Speaker 16: them a lot of pressures. But it's hard for us
37:27
Speaker 16: to stop, you know, a girl to attacking. It's hard
37:30
Speaker 16: for us to slot over right now, and that's what
37:32
Speaker 16: we're struggling with. And they had a girl that was
37:35
Speaker 16: going to the high post and attacking every single time,
37:37
Speaker 16: and even when we tried to crash, we were still tabling.
37:39
Speaker 16: Then you just need to learn do better with moving
37:41
Speaker 16: our feet and you know, fundamentally we need to do
37:44
Speaker 16: better and just going straight up because a lot of
37:45
Speaker 16: times they tried to be shot blockers and he was
37:47
Speaker 16: giving us because a good failing. So, yeah, you gotta
37:51
Speaker 16: play smart.
37:52
Speaker 13: I got you, you faced Lorena. Next that'll be today.
37:57
Speaker 16: What are you expecting them already?
38:00
Speaker 3: You did? Oh?
38:01
Speaker 13: Well, how did that go?
38:02
Speaker 16: We ended up losing by I think it was thirteen.
38:04
Speaker 16: I think that I think they were very beatable. I
38:07
Speaker 16: think that we came out very very slow, and we
38:10
Speaker 16: had a we think that versity yesterday and we're trying
38:13
Speaker 16: to overcome it today with to probably come out later on.
38:15
Speaker 16: But yeah, I'm not gonna say that it's kind of bad.
38:18
Speaker 16: I'm not gonna say what really what happened, But yeah,
38:20
Speaker 16: so we had to talk at Space Adversity this morning
38:22
Speaker 16: and I had to start of I had to start
38:24
Speaker 16: up with the new lineup, and we started off really slow,
38:26
Speaker 16: and we got down Cheno and then I saw the
38:28
Speaker 16: time out of course, and I think I thought was
38:31
Speaker 16: bad and you know, you did yourself in the whole.
38:32
Speaker 16: It's kind of hard to come out. And they were
38:34
Speaker 16: really they were a good team and they were from
38:36
Speaker 16: great shooters, and we didn't really get started playing until
38:39
Speaker 16: the second half, and you know, it's hard to come
38:41
Speaker 16: back in the second half. But yeah, I hopefully we
38:44
Speaker 16: get to see him again. I'm gonna say that because
38:45
Speaker 16: I just felt like that that wasn't a game and
38:47
Speaker 16: we had to get you to a new lineup, and
38:49
Speaker 16: you know that was our first day with no practice
38:51
Speaker 16: without that lineup. So yeah, I think we would do
38:54
Speaker 16: better if we get to face him again. We might
38:56
Speaker 16: have a tan to so I'm excited about that.
38:58
Speaker 13: Yeah, that'll be interesting. For these last couple questions, I
39:02
Speaker 13: want to pivot to coaching questions. You played as a
39:04
Speaker 13: forward in college. What experience do you think that time
39:06
Speaker 13: gave you that has helped you and informed your decisions
39:09
Speaker 13: as a coach today.
39:12
Speaker 16: I try to look because me playing as a forward,
39:15
Speaker 16: I was actually kind of like a shorter forward because
39:17
Speaker 16: I'm only five to ten. But I was very athletic.
39:20
Speaker 16: And I look at my team and we have some
39:22
Speaker 16: very athletic girls and they're shorter, and so that's why
39:24
Speaker 16: I tell them to thing smarter, not harder. So you
39:27
Speaker 16: have to use your you have to use your basketball
39:30
Speaker 16: too when you know, when you're shorter. So with me,
39:32
Speaker 16: I just try to put them in the best positions
39:34
Speaker 16: for them, you know, and I know the best positions
39:36
Speaker 16: for me, which a lot of times that that was
39:38
Speaker 16: me facing up because I am shorter, and you know,
39:41
Speaker 16: not trying to do back to basket things, but actually
39:43
Speaker 16: facing up and trying to take somebody. You know, you
39:45
Speaker 16: take somebody off the dribble. So I just try to
39:47
Speaker 16: put them in good positions. And you just taught me
39:50
Speaker 16: a lot playing Timeme basketball. You just get to see
39:53
Speaker 16: a lot of different IQs. You get to see people
39:55
Speaker 16: just like you, and so I tried to I try
39:57
Speaker 16: to tell them, like you got to do something different
39:59
Speaker 16: that separate issues from those girls, because somebody's gonna be
40:03
Speaker 16: just like you or even better, you know what separation here.
40:06
Speaker 13: Yeah, last question for you here, coach, how do you
40:09
Speaker 13: as a coach to find success both on and off
40:11
Speaker 13: the court besides just wins and losses.
40:16
Speaker 16: It's funny because my mentor my old coach, he just
40:20
Speaker 16: takes me the other day and told me that it's
40:22
Speaker 16: not about wins and losses, it's about you know, getting better.
40:27
Speaker 16: And you know, and I said, I'm I've been frustrated
40:30
Speaker 16: because we have been struggling this season, but I try
40:34
Speaker 16: to look at the little things and the growth. So
40:36
Speaker 16: I you know, if we didn't, say we get our
40:39
Speaker 16: rebound the last game and we come back and we
40:41
Speaker 16: our rebounded team the second quarter, you know, I'm happy.
40:44
Speaker 16: I always try to look for the little things and
40:46
Speaker 16: it's gonna be a lot of negatives, but you have
40:47
Speaker 16: to point out the positives because I mean, you don't
40:50
Speaker 16: want to have a negative, negative team. So I always
40:52
Speaker 16: try to get the little things. If they're talking, they're switching,
40:55
Speaker 16: if they're rebound, they were hustling, we're getting back and
40:58
Speaker 16: putting the ball. I just like to see the good
41:00
Speaker 16: things out of time.
41:01
Speaker 13: So you know, yeah, absolutely, very well. Put Thank you
41:05

Speaker 17: so I didn't want to really dive into anything too deep.
42:54
Speaker 4: I mean, let's let's just say this from the last
42:57
Speaker 4: time we were here to present Texan playing pretty dead gum, like, yeah,
43:03
Speaker 4: this is gonna make actually get them into.
43:06
Speaker 3: The defense is scary. And if CJ can just like
43:10
Speaker 3: and I'm not trying to say like be just man,
43:11
Speaker 3: he's he's going to be more than managible, but like
43:13
Speaker 3: he as long as he doesn't just give the game
43:15
Speaker 3: away like they're they're really good.
43:18
Speaker 4: They really are. I Mean, there's a number of AFC
43:21
Speaker 4: teams that I think do not want to have to
43:24
Speaker 4: play the Texans, and I don't know, I'm not I
43:28
Speaker 4: definitely don't think they're they're they're probably gonna get past
43:31
Speaker 4: the divisional round, but at the standpoint, they could definitely
43:34
Speaker 4: make some noise of those first two weeks.

Speaker 3: to seven FM. Uh real quick as we get ready
48:27
Speaker 3: to end this hour and now we're going to talk
48:29
Speaker 3: a whole lot of college football coming up after that.
48:31
Speaker 3: Have you, I know, I'm the basketball guy here. Have
48:35
Speaker 3: you watched any NBA.
48:38
Speaker 4: So I've been compelled just because of how dominant they've
48:43
Speaker 4: been playing to catch So yeah, okay, because you know, first,
48:50
Speaker 4: especially early in the season, I'm skepticals, Like, I mean,
48:54
Speaker 4: come on, it's a two game schedule. What's good. There's
48:57
Speaker 4: no way they're going to keep this pace up, and
48:59
Speaker 4: then they keep that pace.
49:01
Speaker 3: And then keeping the pace up as far as the wins.
49:03
Speaker 3: They're twenty four and two right now. But also something
49:04
Speaker 3: else you said, like their margin of victory is unreal.
49:08
Speaker 4: Yah, it's I mean we're talking in excess of twenty
49:11
Speaker 4: to thirty points per game.
49:12
Speaker 3: I mean SGA and.
49:14
Speaker 4: Here's and here's the other thing. This is not like
49:18
Speaker 4: the mid twenty teen Golden State Warriors where they're just
49:24
Speaker 4: shooting a bunch of threes from down. You know, it's
49:26
Speaker 4: all it's all Steph and Clay shooting threes. I mean,
49:29
Speaker 4: they're playing and they're not playing overly aggressive defense. They're
49:32
Speaker 4: just really good at getting steals and scoring.
49:35
Speaker 3: He is, and I'm looking I was looking at SGA
49:37
Speaker 3: right now as averaging thirty two point four points a game,
49:40
Speaker 3: and he hasn't played in twelve fourth quarters. That's right
49:44
Speaker 3: out of their tent. They're twenty four and two, so
49:46
Speaker 3: they played twenty six games and he hasn't played in
49:48
Speaker 3: twelve whole fourth quarters and he is averaging thirty two
49:52
Speaker 3: points a game.
49:52
Speaker 4: That it is. It is an insane pace. And we
49:56
Speaker 4: were talking about this in the pre game, and I
49:58
Speaker 4: pose it to you and and I mean, I know
50:00
Speaker 4: this is duh. I asked, can they do eighty And
50:05
Speaker 4: as you pointed out, that means they would have to
50:06
Speaker 4: win every game from here on.
50:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, right now they are twenty four and two their
50:09
Speaker 3: eighty two games in the season. That would mean that
50:12
Speaker 3: they would win the rest of their games from here on. App,
50:15
Speaker 3: I think realistically, the seventy three mark is absolutely something
50:20
Speaker 3: they could go for. I could see seventy, like we
50:23
Speaker 3: talked about, I could see them getting as high as
50:24
Speaker 3: seventy six and going seventy six and six not losing
50:29
Speaker 3: another game for their.
50:31
Speaker 4: That is I mean, that's that's just all that's asking for.
50:34
Speaker 3: But like when you look at their their again, their
50:37
Speaker 3: margin of victory, how they're playing, how deep they are,
50:40
Speaker 3: like they just got Jaylen Williams like they And.
50:43
Speaker 4: That's that is the difference, because when you look at
50:47
Speaker 4: you know, when you look at these other teams that
50:50
Speaker 4: you know, on back nights they have back to back
50:53
Speaker 4: to backs, they're they're sitting guys, and I mean and
50:56
Speaker 4: obviously that affects us the flow of the game and
50:58
Speaker 4: in the scoring margin and all a lot of cases
51:00
Speaker 4: they end up, you know, giving a game away to
51:03
Speaker 4: a team that definitely shouldn't lose to okase, he just
51:08
Speaker 4: does not have that problem because, as you point out,
51:13
Speaker 4: Sga doesn't have to play in the fourth quarter and
51:15
Speaker 4: they're still winning by twenty to thirty. If I don't
51:18
Speaker 4: know if he would take a night off, but if
51:19
Speaker 4: he does take the night off, you've got enough on
51:21
Speaker 4: the bench to make up that difference.
51:23
Speaker 3: And the other part of it. And they said this
51:25
Speaker 3: last year, like they were there last year, they were
51:28
Speaker 3: one of the youngest teams ever to win the championship.
51:30
Speaker 3: Youngest and that's what Alex Caruso like, he what is
51:34
Speaker 3: he third? Is he even thirty?
51:36
Speaker 4: Now he has to be I think he is, but even.
51:39
Speaker 3: But everybody else he's they call him the old guy
51:44
Speaker 3: on their team at thirty. Shay Sga is twenty four,
51:48
Speaker 3: So like that's something.
51:49
Speaker 4: That Ched Holmgreen's what twenty Caruso is thirty one.
51:53
Speaker 3: Thirty one, and he thank you for that, And he's
51:55
Speaker 3: the oldest on their team.
51:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, chedholm Green, I believe it's only twenty.
52:00
Speaker 3: Three because yeah, he's younger than SG like they And
52:02
Speaker 3: so that's why I'm not as worried about fatigue at
52:07
Speaker 3: the end of the sea physical fatigue. Why I don't
52:10
Speaker 3: think they can go.
52:12
Speaker 4: Because they're because they're not playing like the Detroit Piston
52:16
Speaker 4: style defense, for it is so physical and so taxic.
52:19
Speaker 4: I mean, they're just they're really good at blocks, steels
52:22
Speaker 4: and then scoring on the transition.
52:24
Speaker 3: Backside help backside steels like they their team defense like, yeah,
52:28
Speaker 3: it's not We're not trying to grind it out with you.
52:31
Speaker 3: We're trying to get up and down. And that's why
52:32
Speaker 3: they think about the youth and the depth to be
52:35
Speaker 3: able to do that. And so that's why I don't
52:37
Speaker 3: think it's a physical toll that will be taken on them.
52:41
Speaker 3: It's just the mental toll of playing at that level
52:46
Speaker 3: for all eighty two games, all eighty two game. That's
52:49
Speaker 3: why I'm like, seventy five, I think they'll beat seventy three,
52:52
Speaker 3: seventy four, seventy five, even seventy six I think could
52:55
Speaker 3: be a very realistic goal for them, And that may
52:58
Speaker 3: be something that keeps them into it late in the
53:02
Speaker 3: season when they have already locked up the one seed
53:05
Speaker 3: and they like, what else, what else are we playing for? No?
53:08
Speaker 3: We've got something else to play for, and so heck,
53:11
Speaker 3: it may be to a point to where they're looking
53:15
Speaker 3: at it, and then maybe they are maybe they are
53:17
Speaker 3: at seventy five wins and they still only got three
53:22
Speaker 3: losses and they're looking at seventy and they wouldn't make
53:25
Speaker 3: it to eight cause, but getting to seventy nine, like
53:28
Speaker 3: that'll put the record so.
53:30
Speaker 4: Far out of reach that would be incredibly.
53:34
Speaker 3: No, because again, if they go heck, even if they
53:38
Speaker 3: go seventy eight and four or seventy nine and three,
53:41
Speaker 3: do you think another team is going to come along
53:42
Speaker 3: ago eighty and two?
53:44
Speaker 4: Not I mean not probably not in our lifetime, but
53:47
Speaker 4: definitely not for another decade.
53:49
Speaker 3: No, at least another decade, if not longer. So that
53:52
Speaker 3: could be something that they would play like. I could
53:54
Speaker 3: see that being like, Okay, how far out of reach
53:57
Speaker 3: can we put this to where everybody will be recognized? Now,
54:01
Speaker 3: the only other thing about that is hope, Like, as
54:05
Speaker 3: people know what the Warriors that they won seventy three,
54:09
Speaker 3: but nobody pays attention to it because they didn't win
54:11
Speaker 3: the championship, And that would be the other thing that
54:16
Speaker 3: I wonder where the level of Hey, when do we
54:22
Speaker 3: turn this off, and when can we turn it back on?
54:24
Speaker 3: Because that may be the reason why they want to
54:26
Speaker 3: push for everything that they can also so that they
54:28
Speaker 3: are always running on that high cylinder each time.
54:32
Speaker 4: I mean, when you look at the West, and granted
54:36
Speaker 4: the Lakers are playing significantly better San Antonio, Winby's coming
54:42
Speaker 4: back and they're playing at a high level, and then
54:45
Speaker 4: so getting out of the West, it's still going to
54:48
Speaker 4: be tough to find someone someone at this point, assuming
54:52
Speaker 4: everyone stays healthy, everything stays equal right now, that's going
54:56
Speaker 4: to really challenge them. So if they do make the
54:59
Speaker 4: finals and they're playing you know, conceivably, I mean it
55:06
Speaker 4: might be the Knicks this year.
55:08
Speaker 3: There is only so coming out of the West, there's
55:10
Speaker 3: the San Antonio Spurs are the only ones that can
55:12
Speaker 3: challenge them because they're young enough and they have someone
55:16
Speaker 3: in women Yama that is a factor that they don't
55:20
Speaker 3: the Oklahoma City like Chet Holmgren can't no be he
55:24
Speaker 3: is not victim wim Minyama and he can't well he
55:26
Speaker 3: can't factor he can't factor that out.
55:28
Speaker 4: He can't factor that out. But I also go back
55:31
Speaker 4: to the fact they're going to be playing in a
55:32
Speaker 4: seven game series. I feel I almost feel like, okay,
55:36
Speaker 4: see could at least figure something out. Oh I am
55:40
Speaker 4: a majority of those in a one game sample, I think.
55:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, I and and I say that I think I
55:46
Speaker 3: think San Antonio is the only team that can challenge them.
55:49
Speaker 3: I don't think that they would beat them in a
55:51
Speaker 3: seven game series, but I think san Antonio looking at
55:53
Speaker 3: the West right now, san Antonio is the only team
55:55
Speaker 3: that could that can challenge them, because I don't even
55:57
Speaker 3: think Denver can right now.
55:58
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, I mean, if if Denver had
56:03
Speaker 4: more to help out Joe Kitch, maybe, but when he
56:07
Speaker 4: comes off the floor.
56:08
Speaker 3: They've gotten that team is just he's having to do
56:12
Speaker 3: so much right now, it's not even funny. We've got
56:15
Speaker 3: a whole lot of college football to talk about when
56:18
