• 2:47
  Matt, how was your, how's your week going?
• 2:48
  How was your weekend? Yeah, weekend was great.
• 2:53
  NCAA Tournament got to watch it in Philadelphia, 5 out of the
• 3:00
  six games were close with in the last four minutes of the game.
• 3:03
  So you got to got to take the wins when you get them.
• 3:09
  And then I guess we saw one upset, you know, Tennessee beat
• 3:12
  Virginia, but you know, it was fun.
• 3:16
  NCAA Tournament in person is it's a blast, you know,
• 3:21
  especially the first and second round, even if your team's not
• 3:25
  in it. I did wear K State stuff all
• 3:28
  weekend, so that's the closest that K State was getting to
• 3:31
  March Madness this year. Lucky me.
• 3:35
  Hey, props to you chef. Nice nice bucket hat.
• 3:41
  Thanks brother. Welcome back.
• 3:46
  Thanks brother. How was your How was your
• 3:50
  weekend chef watching? I'm trying to make some March
• 3:52
  Madness that didn't have K state involved.
• 3:57
  I mean, it was fun just off the heels of KC Alexander, you know,
• 4:03
  promising us that we'll get there next year.
• 4:06
  I mean it, it gave me the thrill of maybe I'd be in that first
• 4:10
  round. We're fighting for our lives.
• 4:12
  I'm excited. I mean, I was excited watching
• 4:15
  it. There were some somewhat good
• 4:16
  games, somewhat not so good games.
• 4:18
  But either way, I'm in the 99%. I'm trying to pull it up right
• 4:23
  now just to show you guys how much of a ball know where I am.
• 4:27
  One of my brackets is absolutely fire right now.
• 4:32
  Well, the good the good part about getting all the first and
• 4:34
  second round ones right is that means your can collapse in the
• 4:38
  second-half here. Yeah, I guess technically I
• 4:42
  could. I would be sad if I did.
• 4:46
  Yeah, yeah. Look at good luck with that.
• 4:50
  Yeah, I only turned my ring light off.
• 4:52
  Oh, and you and you picked Arizona as well.
• 4:54
  OK, yeah. Smart boy, smart boy, What is
• 4:59
  your What is your name? Yeah, 99.9 baby top 18K.
• 5:06
  What was your name? *** nag, *** nag.
• 5:14
  I I can't say that. Oh no.
• 5:18
  Oh my. God.
• 5:20
  We're getting cancelled. *** Nag 1.
• 5:25
  We would have been we would have been cancelled already.
• 5:27
  Plus Chef. Chef can say that too is great.
• 5:30
  So you and I cannot. Next.
• 5:34
  What's next? Going anywhere.
• 5:38
  Good times, good times. The tournament is uphill from.
• 5:42
  The tournament is. The tournament is.
• 5:49
  My connection is garbage you. Know what?
• 5:54
  It's OK to a great start, fellows.
• 5:57
  All right, Season 4 finale. You all have ridden with us for
• 6:02
  yet another season. Hey, we made it another 50 plus
• 6:07
  episodes. We've got 2 sponsors now, which
• 6:10
  we had at one point in time and we only have one now.
• 6:12
  We got 2 again. So that's pretty cool.
• 6:15
  You know, throwback to the original, original sponsor
• 6:19
  there. But we are doing AQ and a
• 6:21
  episode today. So we've got a ton of questions
• 6:24
  from Scott, one question from PC Riley and a handful that came in
• 6:28
  over Instagram that I have not tallied up yet.
• 6:31
  But shout out to Scott, Wildcat or or pod or pod father.
• 6:35
  He's our pod father if you will. Moreover, Bosco's boys.
• 6:38
  I'm going to hand that to Scott. He starts us off strong with
• 6:43
  what program among K State football, men's basketball,
• 6:46
  women's basketball, volleyball, soccer and baseball will be next
• 6:52
  to have a head coaching. Search man baseball Pete Hughes
• 7:05
  is kind of old I. Mean they're doing pretty good.
• 7:06
  Yeah. Yeah, he's, I mean, maybe he's
• 7:10
  old Colin. I think it's women's basketball.
• 7:16
  Women's basketball. Yeah, 'cause Mitty's been around
• 7:19
  for a while too. And, and he's and he sniffed
• 7:22
  around last year. If if all reports are to be
• 7:27
  believed to be true, I mean, Missouri came sniffing around
• 7:31
  last year. I mean, it wasn't the best
• 7:35
  season this season, but you know, that is a a volatile kind
• 7:42
  of position at women's basketball coach.
• 7:43
  I feel like that is one that could go either way, in a way
• 7:48
  where he steps down, he retires or, you know, he, you know, or
• 7:53
  we get go look for somebody else to get us over the hump.
• 7:58
  Yeah. And Pete Hughes, he's he's 58,
• 8:01
  Mitt, he's 59. They're both, they're both kind
• 8:03
  of getting up there to where they probably built up enough
• 8:07
  there. Yeah.
• 8:08
  They built up enough of their bankroll and their retirement to
• 8:11
  where they can probably exit at some point and, and be just
• 8:15
  fine. But yeah, I don't know.
• 8:17
  I don't know. I, I volleyball, I guess you
• 8:20
  could also see, you know, Mansfield, similar to Klein, if
• 8:23
  he has a ton of success here in the next two to three years,
• 8:26
  could get poached by a bigger, you know, bigger program because
• 8:29
  it's not like K State's in that upper echelon of women's
• 8:32
  volleyball. But yeah.
• 8:35
  Yeah, that opens up, but. Bring Rob Von home.
• 8:39
  That opens up a different, like, kind of thought, Yeah.
• 8:45
  I mean, how long does Colin Klein stay?
• 8:49
  How? I mean, KC Alexander's rope is
• 8:53
  how long I. Think it's as long as the last
• 8:57
  two head coaches, right? You missed the tournament three
• 9:00
  years in a row, you're going to get canned.
• 9:03
  I think that's the expectation at this point.
• 9:07
  Yeah, I think, I think Tang his the Yeah.
• 9:14
  But the thing about Tang was that he had so much cachet from
• 9:19
  that first season. That's why he even lasted as
• 9:22
  long as he did. I think he throws two seasons
• 9:29
  like he threw these last two seasons from the very start.
• 9:32
  Does he even make it that far? I don't know.
• 9:37
  It's it's tough. It's tough.
• 9:40
  I think Colin Klein's may be a lifer.
• 9:42
  See a lifer. I'll never say he's a lifer.
• 9:48
  Gundy wasn't even a lifer at Oklahoma State.
• 9:51
  So yeah, I don't I could see Gundy being in one of the next
• 9:56
  two or three cycles getting a getting a job somewhere else.
• 9:59
  People will kind of forget what happened and I'm sure someone
• 10:03
  will take a leap on him. I, I could see like a Yukon, you
• 10:06
  know, like like a lower tier FBS program, like AG5 school, taking
• 10:11
  a flyer on, on Gundy and him building it back up to, you
• 10:15
  know, whatever. So I don't know, Sorry I just
• 10:18
  took that off the rails but. You did, yeah.
• 10:23
  Yeah, Hey, second question from Scott.
• 10:27
  Second question from Scott. What will happen first, A non
• 10:30
  men's basketball non soccer goalkeeper jersey that is
• 10:35
  primarily lavender or a state football having a non classic
• 10:41
  jersey? I mean a non men's back.
• 10:48
  Question again. I am I am somewhat surprised
• 10:52
  that when the women's team has not had the Lavenders yet, that
• 11:01
  is primarily lavender non. And not just trim, because I
• 11:07
  think we've seen with the women's volleyball team that
• 11:09
  they've used some, like some trim.
• 11:10
  Yeah, it's got to be, it's got to be primarily lavender, I
• 11:16
  think women's basketball. So I'm going to say non MBB.
• 11:22
  Yeah, I think it's, I think it's women's basketball because Jean
• 11:26
  Taylor's on the record saying he's it's a men's basketball
• 11:29
  color. But I can see that pretty easily
• 11:33
  being accepted for for women's. I'm going to go contrarian.
• 11:37
  I'm going to say football uniforms.
• 11:39
  I think we are so due for something new for the program
• 11:45
  that I think Colin Colin Klein can have enough pull to maybe
• 11:50
  get Nike going in the right direction to give us something
• 11:53
  not Dallas Cowboys esque. It could be I could even see a
• 11:59
  different color pant. Like I don't know.
• 12:03
  Do I dare say the purple pants back?
• 12:05
  I mean, did Colin Klein if Colin Klein never wore the purple
• 12:09
  pants, he never wore them. He was he was a no, he was on a
• 12:15
  purple pants guy. I could see purple pants come
• 12:19
  back though. I could see.
• 12:22
  The issue with the way they did the purple pants the first time
• 12:25
  is it was a different shade of purple from the top and there
• 12:28
  was I'm pretty sure there was no painting on it.
• 12:30
  There was no there was no stripes on it.
• 12:32
  Which no. It's just purple pants.
• 12:35
  This is like big. Barney Big Barney Barney
• 12:39
  uniform. Yeah.
• 12:43
  I'm going to go football just because I want to be different
• 12:45
  from you, because obviously I think basketball is.
• 12:48
  I think honestly, under Casey Alexander, I think they need to
• 12:52
  just completely scrap these uniforms.
• 12:55
  I think these need to be thrown into a vault that never needs to
• 12:59
  be open again. They need something.
• 13:02
  I love a good basketball uniform that's like a traditional just
• 13:06
  like, you know, give me something simple and plain.
• 13:10
  Give me a plain Jane. I personally, I don't think we
• 13:16
  should scrap the, the uniform if, if for any reason it needs
• 13:20
  to be scrapped because Tang is associated with it.
• 13:22
  But I, I am in the minority and that I like, I like, you know,
• 13:27
  you look at this screen, you look at our YouTube videos and
• 13:29
  you see that design on the, on the side there underneath.
• 13:33
  That's, that's what's on the sides.
• 13:35
  But people say it looks like a cow.
• 13:36
  I'm like, OK, whatever. Men's men's basketball men's
• 13:42
  basketball uniforms, though, I was thinking about this the
• 13:45
  other day. Is there ever any chance that
• 13:48
  they that they break these that they break these back out?
• 13:52
  Let me let me pull it up here. Let me see you break these bad
• 13:55
  boys out, no. Ever ever share screen?
• 14:00
  Sorry doing this, I'm doing this.
• 14:06
  Are they ever going to break out?
• 14:09
  OK. I mean, I love it.
• 14:13
  I think so. I, I would love, would love
• 14:20
  that. Maybe not the font of the number
• 14:23
  though. No, no.
• 14:25
  That's very, that's very Xavier like.
• 14:31
  Not the. Font.
• 14:33
  I don't want to have the font be the.
• 14:34
  Same. Just have it be the same as the
• 14:36
  lavender. Yeah, I think those are I, I
• 14:41
  used to hate them 'cause I feel like I, I associated those in my
• 14:44
  head with like bad K State basketball.
• 14:46
  But they're kind of they're kind of tough.
• 14:49
  That's tough. Those are hot.
• 14:52
  Yeah. Those are very hot.
• 14:55
  I I give me those back. So let's bring those back.
• 14:58
  All right, question #3 from PC Riley, if you have asked
• 15:02
  $5,000,000 in K State Athletics, how would you spend it?
• 15:07
  Would you shore up the football roster for one year?
• 15:10
  Would you build a basketball roster over one to three years?
• 15:14
  Would you try to buy a natty in women's basketball, baseball or
• 15:18
  track and field or other? I think well, five, no offense,
• 15:26
  but a 5 million ain't really shit if we're being honest.
• 15:29
  It's. Not one year.
• 15:34
  I mean, not, not no offense to the question.
• 15:36
  I get, I get, I get the question.
• 15:39
  But like in football that does nothing.
• 15:41
  It does, it really does nothing. Basketball, you could probably
• 15:47
  get a really good player for that 5 mil.
• 15:51
  You could probably. Yeah, 5 mil you.
• 15:53
  Couldn't you could in football too?
• 15:56
  Yeah, but the thing about. Like 5 million for next year.
• 16:00
  The thing about football, I mean, it's just it's such a
• 16:04
  there's, it's so big like the like the, the role of one
• 16:10
  player. I don't know if they could carry
• 16:12
  it to a lot of wins. I mean, obviously a good
• 16:15
  quarterback could carry, get you more wins, but I think it's so
• 16:20
  team driven that it's you, you got to have a, a huge number for
• 16:25
  that 5 million in basketball though.
• 16:27
  I mean, if you can get a, you know, a 7 foot 2 finisher guy
• 16:34
  for 5 million, I could I could see that influencing something
• 16:38
  or a point guard that's actually like an all American status.
• 16:42
  That's not, you know, an inefficient black hole of shots.
• 16:49
  How much did Bansa get nil? Oh man. 5 to $7,000,000.
• 16:57
  For what? The bansa that's.
• 17:02
  I mean, he gets that's a tournament team right there.
• 17:07
  That's a tournament team by 1 freshman.
• 17:10
  I mean, but if you if you get hit a a freshman into a system
• 17:14
  that's, you know, not just a a draft factory like BYU is going
• 17:18
  to end up being and actually want to win college basketball
• 17:23
  games, then yeah. I mean, 5 million on a
• 17:27
  basketball roster, Give me that I'll I'll take 5 million on a
• 17:30
  basketball roster now 5 million in women's for one year.
• 17:35
  Could you compete? I mean, it's just so hard to go
• 17:39
  against the the South Carolinas. You're you're so behind the 8
• 17:43
  ball. Those programs so far in the
• 17:45
  head. They're well funded too.
• 17:47
  I mean, think about like a Juju Watkins.
• 17:49
  How much does she make? They developed though like they
• 17:52
  developed their their star players across that scope are
• 17:58
  developed. Players like this stay in
• 18:00
  programs I'm debating about, man.
• 18:05
  So we finished. 4th in track and field this year, so if you get
• 18:09
  $5 million. Oh yeah.
• 18:13
  We're probably going to win a national championship.
• 18:16
  I mean, but you probably do. But did you waste that money
• 18:21
  though? I mean, I obviously OK track
• 18:23
  national championship is fun, but did you overpay?
• 18:27
  I mean would be honest, would you overpay because a lot of
• 18:31
  those two? Never hear that K State has
• 18:35
  never won a national championship ever again.
• 18:37
  Are we really overpaying so people don't?
• 18:42
  Really. I mean, I, I get the no, it is,
• 18:45
  it is the running joke that we could claim a track national
• 18:49
  championship and be like, oh, we've won the national champ,
• 18:52
  but it's track, dude. No offense, but it's track.
• 18:55
  The national championship. I think you could, you could
• 18:59
  easily fund it on the baseball side.
• 19:01
  I said this when we, when we had our podcast without you, Matt
• 19:04
  baseball, like I feel like, I feel like baseball, you could
• 19:07
  pretty easily fund it. And if you've got $5,000,000,
• 19:10
  that's going to go a long way to get you some arms and some bats.
• 19:13
  So I don't know. I agree.
• 19:15
  I agree. I feel like baseball's a tougher
• 19:20
  1, Baseball's a tougher 1. I, I think about it from like,
• 19:25
  but you also like the College World Series.
• 19:34
  I feel like there's a bit of luck as much as like, like
• 19:40
  there's a bit of luck with that. And, but you're, but if I have
• 19:43
  $5,000,000 and I'm going to be like, we're going to, I'm going
• 19:47
  to give you $5,000,000 to win a national championship this year.
• 19:51
  I would rather do it in an individual level sport.
• 19:57
  Give me baseball. Give me base.
• 19:59
  I'm with Bob. Give me baseball.
• 20:01
  You give me a $3,000,000 bullpen.
• 20:04
  I mean, the bats are gonna be the bats.
• 20:07
  It's like you don't really even have to pay.
• 20:10
  You don't have to pay. You don't really have to pay the
• 20:12
  the skill position, 'cause they're popping.
• 20:14
  If you got a bullpen that's holding teams to two, two or
• 20:18
  three runs in college baseball, you are.
• 20:22
  Giving up ten runs to Houston in the 8th inning.
• 20:26
  Speaking of which, who are we beating?
• 20:28
  Are we beating Nebraska right now?
• 20:31
  Oh, fuck them. By the way, in the. 4th wall.
• 20:35
  In all, in all areas, OK, Yeah, you look that up, by the way.
• 20:40
  By the way, Chef question #4. Down 11 to 8 in the 5th.
• 20:45
  Jesus Christ, this is what I'm talking about again.
• 20:47
  I mean, again, just noodle arms just throwing lollipops up.
• 20:51
  And it's I mean, just these scores are just.
• 20:54
  Insane. I mean, Arizona State got how
• 20:56
  many? How many runs did we give up to
• 20:57
  Arizona State this weekend? There were quite a few, quite a
• 21:01
  few. All right, question #4 from
• 21:04
  Scott. Should the Big 12 explore a 10
• 21:07
  AM Central football kickoff with ATV partner like, say, TNT?
• 21:14
  Could be a game that kicks off at one of the Eastern Time zone
• 21:17
  schools in the Union Jack Classic if it lives beyond this
• 21:21
  year? Or is College Game Day and Big
• 21:25
  Noon kickoff too big to counter program?
• 21:29
  I mean, in a hypothetical world, we can make anything happen and
• 21:33
  it's going to be a great idea. That is a great question because
• 21:36
  I mean, you give me some breakfast.
• 21:38
  Football, brother. The people who watch, who's
• 21:44
  who's saying no to that? Who is saying no to that?
• 21:48
  For me, it's at 9:00 AM, it's already at 10 AM for me.
• 21:52
  So like, what time of day doesn't matter to me, I'm still
• 21:54
  going to watch it. And if it's my team, I'm gonna
• 21:57
  watch that over college game day.
• 21:58
  Am I going crazy? I could have swore there was
• 22:01
  like a 10 AM kick this year. Wasn't there if.
• 22:03
  There was one. I want to say there was one or
• 22:05
  something. At 10:00 AM eastern I feel like
• 22:08
  they had like an org or Colorado.
• 22:11
  Was it a Colorado game a couple years ago?
• 22:15
  It kicked. It kicked at 10 AM Mountain
• 22:18
  time, so 11, so Scott's saying 10 central.
• 22:22
  So you're starting an hour before all the other games?
• 22:29
  I would I love. It if K State had to host a 10
• 22:32
  AM game, I would be kind of mad. Would you though?
• 22:37
  I mean halftime is kick off for all the other games.
• 22:42
  But what Scott is saying is it would be like an Eastern Time
• 22:45
  zone school. So for a West Virginia or
• 22:47
  Cincinnati, you're kicking at 10 AM central.
• 22:51
  Which is 11 Eastern. I mean.
• 22:57
  I I would want it earlier. Give me earlier 6:00 AM, give me
• 23:03
  like, could you imagine? Hold on, hold on.
• 23:07
  Could you imagine? A picture for me.
• 23:10
  Could you imagine dawn breaking and the lights like you turning
• 23:16
  the lights off for a football game Like it's it's kicked off
• 23:22
  under the lights early as fuck and then they turn the lights
• 23:27
  off half time and now you have a a morning game.
• 23:31
  You know the first weekend they should just do like they used
• 23:35
  to. The 24 hour tip off special.
• 23:38
  It's the 24 hour kick off special and and Hawaii's kicking
• 23:45
  off a game at 11:00 PM or 11:00 PM Hawaii time.
• 23:51
  Yeah. I mean, you do the, you do the
• 23:53
  European Week Zero, you do it out there out in Europe and then
• 23:58
  you just progressively move it with the sun and you're playing
• 24:02
  football on the hour, every hour.
• 24:06
  Brett, your mark needs to hire us, doesn't he?
• 24:09
  I'm, I'm telling you, I think that Scott, I appreciate Scott
• 24:12
  because I never thought about that.
• 24:14
  Lights on at kickoff and they're off at halftime.
• 24:18
  That is genius. Students are pulling it out all
• 24:22
  night or the night before. It's like God.
• 24:24
  They're camping out like it's a Oh my God, they're camping out.
• 24:28
  Could you imagine? 70% of the people would hate it
• 24:33
  terribly and the 30% are the students.
• 24:36
  Way more than seventy way. Just it's a terrible idea.
• 24:40
  I think visually I think it's cool.
• 24:42
  Like, did you imagine the branding and you to go along
• 24:45
  with this game? I mean, it's like, I don't know,
• 24:48
  it's just so much, so much fun to think about something off the
• 24:51
  wall, something different. I love it.
• 24:54
  I mean, it's it's kind of like how all the bars and stuff
• 24:57
  opened up for Team USA Hockey in the Olympics a few weeks back.
• 25:00
  Like we it was 6:00 AM or 7. AMI think when when the puck
• 25:04
  dropped, it was 6 AM 610. And so we had bars opening in
• 25:08
  Denver that were opening at six. We're like, hey, we can't surf
• 25:12
  till 7, but we're we're open at 6:00 so you can watch the game.
• 25:17
  Dawn is breaking. It's crazy, crazy.
• 25:20
  What an idea. Crazy.
• 25:24
  Next eat shit question #5 Scott Wildcat.
• 25:29
  What will coach Casey Alexander's record B versus Huss
• 25:33
  and Calhoun next year? How many times do we play
• 25:38
  Cincinnati next year? I don't think they have it.
• 25:41
  I don't think they've announced that yet.
• 25:43
  Yeah, we'll play at least one game. 1:00 and 1:00.
• 25:49
  Who do we lose to? I think we lose to Cincinnati
• 25:52
  like we usually do. Hell no, I think.
• 25:57
  We go to a no, I think. The fall of Creighton at home.
• 26:02
  I think the fall off of Creighton is going to be
• 26:04
  something that needs to be measured.
• 26:08
  Wow and then and don't get me started on Cincinnati.
• 26:14
  I think I think they I think they let the wrong coach go.
• 26:18
  I think he had that program humming a little bit, not going
• 26:22
  to lie. Think he had him going around in
• 26:25
  that the back half of that season.
• 26:26
  I think he he was fighting for his job, obviously, but I think
• 26:31
  he had he was good at its acquiring talent.
• 26:35
  I mean they've been solid for a couple years.
• 26:36
  I mean, obviously they didn't make the tournament or anything,
• 26:38
  but I mean, I don't know, the transition for Cincinnati going
• 26:43
  into the Big 12 has been tougher, but I think they've
• 26:47
  shown a lot of fight in basketball.
• 26:50
  I I I think they fired the wrong coach.
• 26:53
  And I'm not a, you know, Jared Calhoun, who is he never heard
• 26:56
  of the guy, never even heard of him.
• 27:00
  So give give me two and O, if we play, if we play, actually give
• 27:05
  me 3. And OI think we beat Cincinnati
• 27:07
  in the Big 12 tournament. Oh my God, God, Undefeated.
• 27:13
  I'll say undefeated. However many it is.
• 27:17
  I'm swimming in the Casey. Alexander Well, I mean, I guess
• 27:19
  that's just one year. I mean, we could go, we can
• 27:23
  pontificate out, we could pontificate out multiple
• 27:27
  seasons. I could.
• 27:28
  I could see us. Obviously we won't play
• 27:30
  Creighton a lot, but could Jared Calhoun and Casey Alexander be
• 27:34
  riding hip and hip? Going at it for multiple years?
• 27:39
  Give me a total record of eight and five.
• 27:48
  Eight and five, OK. So you're saying that he's going
• 27:52
  to go 7 and five against? Yep.
• 27:56
  Jared Calhoun. Basically, Yep.
• 28:02
  The next The next question from Scott, will there be a season 5
• 28:05
  of Cocaine Willie? We haven't been renewed yet, so
• 28:08
  we got we're awaiting the contract.
• 28:11
  I'll be here. So these discussions are going.
• 28:13
  I don't know if there will be. I'll be here.
• 28:17
  You know, the Internet might be better, it might be worse, I
• 28:20
  don't know. Yeah, we need to get an Internet
• 28:22
  service provider from Ohio to sponsor us.
• 28:25
  That is what. We we need to we need to get out
• 28:27
  the refund for Chef so he can pay more than $10 a month for
• 28:31
  his WI. Fi I thought about Starlink.
• 28:34
  Starlink is my buddy uses Starlink.
• 28:38
  Hey I paid 90 bucks a month for Xfinity fiber and it's just
• 28:42
  fine. Giving you.
• 28:46
  Some Season 5 season 5's happening, don't worry.
• 28:50
  Yes, we've already we've renewed our agreement with Auntie Maze
• 28:54
  through football season. We have an agreement with with
• 28:57
  with our friend Paul at Heartland Beef through through
• 29:01
  football season. What if we have one more one?
• 29:04
  More sponsor. If we have one more sponsor,
• 29:07
  then we'd be rich. Fired up, baby.
• 29:17
  All right, what does success from Scott?
• 29:20
  Of course, What does success look like for Casey Alexander?
• 29:23
  He did a whole podcast on this in year 1, three and five.
• 29:30
  Year 1, I think Year 1 you finish in the top half of the
• 29:40
  Big 12. Holy shit.
• 29:44
  OK. Which means I think this is a
• 29:47
  team I think you make. I think the momentum needs to be
• 29:53
  you're in the NCAA Tournament year one with the way the way it
• 29:59
  has been for a lot of these programs that have hired new
• 30:01
  coaches, year one has been kind of like that bright spot where
• 30:04
  you bring in, I'm going to say year three, you're in the top
• 30:11
  five of the. Conference.
• 30:17
  In the top five of the conference and you are a, let's
• 30:22
  see, who's fifth this year, KU and oh, Texas Tech.
• 30:26
  So there are 5. So you are in Year 5 or year
• 30:30
  three or six seed in the tournament or higher and then
• 30:35
  year five I would say winning a Big 12 tournament or winning the
• 30:46
  conference Holy. Shit, I cream my pants a little
• 30:52
  bit with that timeline right there now.
• 30:56
  OK, I'm going to take this a little bit different.
• 30:58
  I mean, I love the expectations that Matt put out there and I I
• 31:01
  can definitely get along. I could definitely get on board
• 31:04
  with three-year three, maybe not, maybe not Year 5.
• 31:10
  I don't know, I I could maybe get myself worked up to that,
• 31:13
  but I think I'm going to take year one a little bit different
• 31:16
  for a different approach. I think he needs, he's, we need
• 31:21
  to get away from the expectations necessarily
• 31:23
  numerically with Casey Alexander in year 1.
• 31:27
  I think he needs to set the precedent of how he's going to
• 31:30
  run his program year in and year out.
• 31:33
  Like if he, if he's not afraid of being with the media and
• 31:38
  explaining his process, not giving, you know, the, the
• 31:41
  secret sauce or anything like, but this is how we're going to
• 31:44
  do just like his introductory press conference where he
• 31:47
  explained, this is how we're going to do things.
• 31:49
  This is how I want my program. It's about retention and then he
• 31:53
  shows it in year one with bringing in a couple of younger
• 31:57
  guys. However, his however this portal
• 31:59
  season is going to go for him or whether he brings in players
• 32:02
  from brings any players back from this current roster.
• 32:07
  I want to see the plan, not necessarily the numerical wins
• 32:12
  and losses. I mean, I would love to see more
• 32:14
  wins and I would love to see him get to the tournament, but I
• 32:18
  just want to see that he is going to have a plan in year one
• 32:23
  that he's going to be able to follow into year 2.
• 32:25
  And once I see that the plan is repeated in year 2, then I'm on
• 32:30
  board with what Matt was saying in year 3 where we're like, OK,
• 32:33
  we're we're top half for the conference.
• 32:35
  We've had these same players for the past three years.
• 32:39
  These are our guys. We're going to go forward with
• 32:41
  it and we we're wanting to win. And then if you're 5, we flip
• 32:45
  the whole senior class and he's doing everything that he's
• 32:48
  supposed to be doing. There is no reason in the world
• 32:50
  that he doesn't have all the money that he possibly could
• 32:53
  need to get whatever kind of player he wants.
• 32:56
  And then, yeah, I mean, if if we've done the tournament thing
• 32:59
  for four years, he has to take that next step.
• 33:05
  And hopefully we're holding on to him.
• 33:07
  I mean, he is in his mid 50s. But I mean, somebody could try
• 33:11
  to poach him. But I mean, for for the love of
• 33:13
  God, if we win the conference year five, I'm gung ho, brother.
• 33:17
  Build him a statue. You you bring up a really good
• 33:20
  point and I think I mentioned it maybe a couple months back, but
• 33:24
  you know how Tang he get in his press conferences, he kind of
• 33:27
  just deflect everything this that and the other and I I
• 33:30
  mentioned like he he doesn't he doesn't talk ball in his press
• 33:34
  conferences. He doesn't talk hoops.
• 33:37
  He talks about he like it was a lot of excuses.
• 33:40
  It was a lot of this and that, it was a lot of injury stuff,
• 33:43
  but he never really talked like schematically about the game and
• 33:46
  that always kind of drove me crazy.
• 33:48
  And really from a schematic standpoint, he talked about a no
• 33:52
  middle defense in year 1 and A5 out offense in year 2.
• 33:56
  And then I don't think we heard him talk about anything
• 33:58
  schematically after you after re recording Patrick Ngongba, who
• 34:03
  is lighting it up at Duke now. So it's just in one press
• 34:08
  conference with Casey Alexander. I feel like we already have
• 34:10
  gotten that. So it's good to it's good to see
• 34:13
  that he has a vision for the program and chef.
• 34:15
  I want to see exactly what you're talking about too, of
• 34:19
  when when he gets in a press conference after game one.
• 34:21
  I want to hear him talk about schematics, what he saw with the
• 34:25
  opponent, what we were throwing at them and how we adjusted.
• 34:28
  I want to hear that stuff. I feel like we haven't heard
• 34:30
  that stuff since Bruce. I mean, even before Bruce,
• 34:34
  because he was talking about Pete the Cat for half the damn
• 34:37
  second final season that he was there.
• 34:39
  So yeah, I want to. I want to see that.
• 34:41
  I want to see the vision in in year 1, in Year 3.
• 34:46
  I want to see at least I want to see one trip to the second
• 34:51
  weekend. I want to see that.
• 34:54
  So within years one to three, I want to see at least one trip to
• 34:58
  the second weekend. And then by year five, man, I, I
• 35:06
  want to be top consistently, probably tops top six in the Big
• 35:13
  12 on a year in, year out basis. By that point, competing for at
• 35:20
  least the semi finals of the Big 12 tournament consistently.
• 35:24
  And you're in the, you're in the national conversation for, for
• 35:28
  seeding. You're, you're talking like a
• 35:29
  top four or five seed on a year in, year out base.
• 35:33
  That's that's what I want to see by Year 5, because I feel like
• 35:36
  there were moments during the Bruce Weber era, there were
• 35:38
  moments during the Frank Barnier where we saw that.
• 35:41
  And that was that was a topic of conversation and it wasn't, you
• 35:45
  know, are we going to make the tournament this year?
• 35:47
  Hopefully we make the tournament this year.
• 35:49
  Hopefully we're talking about seating in February and not
• 35:52
  talking about the bubble is ideally what we're what we're
• 35:56
  looking at there. So, yeah, I want I want the team
• 35:59
  to be in the tournament at least every other year.
• 36:01
  I think when we're looking at this by by Year 5, at a minimum.
• 36:06
  Scott Wildcat, Question 8 FMK, Lola Bunny, Kim Possible or
• 36:12
  Princess Jasmine. Man, Oh my God, fuck, marry,
• 36:18
  kill. I mean, Lola Bunny.
• 36:21
  Lola Bunny is for sure the most complete of all of those.
• 36:26
  So you're furry? Brother, I've, I've, I'm not
• 36:31
  going to beat the accusations on this podcast.
• 36:33
  There's no way on beating the accusations on this podcast.
• 36:40
  The problem with Kim Possible is that she is a minor.
• 36:46
  We have to take that into account.
• 36:51
  We. OK, so we're killing.
• 36:53
  We have to kill. So we're, so we're murdering.
• 36:57
  We have to kill Kim Possible. A child, OK.
• 36:59
  Princess Jasmine, I don't know her confirmed age either, so.
• 37:04
  Wholesome. Here's the deal, though, with
• 37:08
  Princess Jasmine. Comes with a.
• 37:09
  Title. She is a Princess.
• 37:10
  She comes with a title. She probably also has a a dowry
• 37:14
  involved. You getting paid, you getting
• 37:17
  Lance? Getting loaded.
• 37:19
  We're loaded after Princess. I'm OK.
• 37:22
  So now, now we're talking. It's it's a debate.
• 37:25
  Do you want to marry Lola Bunny, who you're probably going to
• 37:29
  have fun with for a long, long time?
• 37:32
  Let's be honest. We know what rabbits are known
• 37:35
  for, so let's just put her in that category.
• 37:40
  Let's just put her in that category.
• 37:42
  Jasmine is a human we can kick. We can continue that long term
• 37:46
  relationship. I'm going to marry Jasmine going
• 37:50
  to I'm going to F Lola Bunny and we only on the basis of her
• 37:56
  being a minor, which just throws everything out the window.
• 37:59
  We cannot continue the conversation.
• 38:02
  So we are killing Kim Possible. Unless, unless her I or
• 38:07
  Wikipedia or whatever confirms that I'm wrong, we're going to
• 38:12
  have to kill Kip. Possible.
• 38:16
  I I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say.
• 38:20
  I actually probably agree. I probably agree with the three
• 38:23
  that he actually did with. I mean, it's chalk.
• 38:26
  It's chalk. It's chalk for all three of us
• 38:28
  because yeah, Jasmine, she can show you the world as well.
• 38:32
  Scott Wildcat. What is 1 niche topic K State or
• 38:36
  college athletics wise that you'd want to get on a soapbox
• 38:39
  and rant about? K state game day experience.
• 38:45
  OK, let me hear it. I think our basketball game day
• 38:51
  experience is lame. I think they used terrible music
• 38:55
  choices to try and pump the crowd up.
• 39:00
  I think for football we need less Chipotle burrito rolling
• 39:09
  and also some better music and better in game stuff.
• 39:18
  That's, I mean, I think that's a big thing for me, game day
• 39:22
  experience. Not a fan of the Chipotle
• 39:25
  rolling, huh? It's so stupid, so stupid.
• 39:29
  Well, my biggest issue with the game day experience and on the
• 39:32
  football side is ever since the dude had a seizure and we
• 39:36
  haven't had the Willy skit with the the tackling in midfield,
• 39:41
  it's just a big empty void. It's and they've never filled it
• 39:44
  in. It's just it's anti climactic
• 39:47
  and yeah, they've got the door opening.
• 39:50
  That's cool. But it used to be this like
• 39:53
  fever pitch inside a Bill Snyder family stadium, whenever that
• 39:56
  happened. A Willy.
• 39:58
  Skit man, give me a bring it back give.
• 40:01
  Me the train and the Willy skit and the tackling.
• 40:04
  I don't, just make sure your your guy that's getting tackled
• 40:08
  is an epileptic. Well.
• 40:12
  Yeah, yeah. I mean epilepsy.
• 40:14
  Good. Not to be ableist.
• 40:17
  But I mean, he's. That's like the third, that's
• 40:21
  like the third worst thing that's been said today.
• 40:23
  So we're not even half of. Them I am agreeing with Matt.
• 40:27
  I mean, I wish I was out there more.
• 40:32
  Also, man, I don't know how you guys's jobs are going, but the
• 40:36
  United States Postal Service, man, I'm fighting for my life
• 40:40
  over here. I want to keep this job but I
• 40:42
  don't know if if the post office is going to be around much
• 40:45
  longer. Brothers, if you if you buy
• 40:49
  Starlink, does that Curry you favor with doge?
• 40:52
  I don't know, it's not doge that's coming after.
• 40:56
  This is the IRS. We don't make any money.
• 40:58
  We have to charge $4.00 for a stamp here pretty soon to even
• 41:04
  pay my salary. No, but no.
• 41:07
  But seriously, yeah man, life is good but I I do.
• 41:11
  Jobs suck. I hate jobs.
• 41:14
  I wish I could just do this and hang out with you guys all day
• 41:18
  all night. So what's your soapbox rant
• 41:22
  about K State or college athletics?
• 41:24
  That's niche. Niche.
• 41:27
  I mean, I don't know if I have like a rant that I could go on.
• 41:36
  I mean, the the game day experience, I like that.
• 41:39
  But I, I don't really think, I think we're going into a spot
• 41:43
  where it's a, it's a, it's a split decision on what college
• 41:48
  athletics and college football in particular looks like.
• 41:51
  Pretty soon I think we're going to be either it's going to be
• 41:54
  even all across the board and we're going to have a chance.
• 41:57
  Obviously, the cheating and all that stuff is still going to be
• 42:00
  rampant and people are going to try to take advantage of every
• 42:04
  try to turn every corner and try to get ahead at all cost.
• 42:08
  But either it's going to be that or we're not going to have
• 42:13
  football the way it is. And it's going to be the haves
• 42:16
  and the have nots and it's going to be JV versus varsity kind of
• 42:20
  stuff. And I hope it's not that,
• 42:25
  because I don't know where K State stands in that.
• 42:28
  But I think that as much as I don't want politics involved in
• 42:35
  any of the things that I like outside of actually talking
• 42:39
  politics, I think politics might have to get involved.
• 42:42
  I think some politicians, there needs to be some things said and
• 42:45
  done about what's going on because it's not going to be the
• 42:48
  same here pretty soon. That's the thing I was going to
• 42:51
  bring up if you didn't bring it up, is, is that's, that's a
• 42:53
  niche topic that I, that I am very interested in.
• 42:58
  I hate, I hate the direction that things are going in, but I
• 43:02
  do think that this, there is a possibility here for if they do
• 43:06
  go the route of having like the tiered system with 70 teams or
• 43:11
  whatever, it's the power for, and you have that and everybody
• 43:15
  has equal distribution within those.
• 43:17
  I think 4 tiers that there are that's going to be a lot better.
• 43:21
  And you have the opportunity to move up or down in those payment
• 43:23
  tiers. But your, you know, your
• 43:25
  conferences and stuff are more geographic.
• 43:27
  I don't know there, there are a lot of different ways you can
• 43:29
  skin the cab. But obviously if the conference
• 43:32
  realignment stuff has been a really big thing for me in the
• 43:35
  last few years, it's something I've cared about for a really,
• 43:37
  really long time. Going back to like old Facebook
• 43:40
  posts from 2010 when I was in high school talking, ranting
• 43:43
  about this shit when the Big 12 was first getting poached from
• 43:47
  Missouri and A&M and the potential PAC 16 that was going
• 43:51
  to happen with Texas. And yeah, I'm, I'm glad that
• 43:55
  we're at least in a little bit of a stable spot with a lot of
• 43:58
  this stuff, but it's, it's not going to last very long.
• 44:01
  And, and it's, that's one niche thing that it that I love to get
• 44:05
  on the soapbox about and rant about.
• 44:08
  But yeah, I would love to be included in that.
• 44:10
  It would be nice to be part of that whole her League thing.
• 44:13
  I don't like the idea of it in principle, but I think it's the
• 44:16
  one way for things to be at least more equitable and, and to
• 44:19
  try to bring the Big 10 and the SEC on board with the ACC in the
• 44:23
  Big 12. So we'll see what happens with
• 44:25
  everything. But yeah, Jon Kurtz is covering
• 44:28
  all that, not us. Jasmine's 15 by the way, so.
• 44:34
  Oh good God. You're fucked either way.
• 44:37
  Good. Yeah, that's you're going to
• 44:41
  jail Scott for asking that. Question.
• 44:49
  You're going to jail. Scott, if you were in charge,
• 44:54
  Scott's next question, if you're in charge of the Big 12 for 365
• 44:58
  days and had the power to create new tentpole events for the
• 45:02
  conference, what would they be? Or is that something you don't
• 45:05
  think the conference needs more of?
• 45:07
  I'm going to say I don't think we unique glass floors and I
• 45:11
  don't think we need Big 12 Mexico, but I would love to
• 45:14
  stake a claim on Dublin. I thought that was a really fun
• 45:17
  experience even though we lost. Like I like that.
• 45:22
  I think we could do what OK. I think we need.
• 45:32
  OK, Go ahead, Matt, go ahead. No, no, no, no, no.
• 45:34
  I want to hear yours first. No, I, I was thinking more like
• 45:41
  I don't know what's necessarily the eyeballs are the way to go
• 45:45
  with, you know, like gimmicky stuff is not going to sell the,
• 45:50
  the, the, the conference and, and put it in a better light is
• 45:55
  if that's where, if that's where I'm trying to go, I don't know
• 45:58
  if any of this stuff is going to put us on a better light.
• 46:01
  I think it kind of makes us look like we're grasping for like
• 46:05
  grasping for things like we're just out of thin air.
• 46:09
  Like we put a bunch of like people in a room.
• 46:12
  What would be cool. I don't know if any of that is
• 46:15
  helping the conference at all. I don't think it is, but I think
• 46:20
  how do you how do you create what the SEC in Big 10 has?
• 46:27
  I think obviously what they have is rabid fan bases.
• 46:31
  We have those check, OK, they have tradition.
• 46:36
  I think we don't spotlight the traditions enough and I think
• 46:40
  that's also the Big 12's problem.
• 46:42
  Just look at like how they scheduled the conference rivals.
• 46:45
  I think this is a telltale sign of people, outsiders of the Big
• 46:52
  12. Obviously the Big 12 was not run
• 46:55
  as well as it should have been before your mark and then got
• 46:58
  here. But it's not.
• 47:00
  We hired a New Yorker to run the Big 12, and they don't.
• 47:05
  I don't think he really gets what makes the Big 12 like a
• 47:11
  thing. So like when you don't have Iowa
• 47:13
  State as Kansas State's second rival, that is a problem.
• 47:19
  I don't know, like you're, you're, you're eliminating
• 47:22
  traditions, which is what makes the Big 10 and the SEC.
• 47:26
  So that's one of their pageantry things is that they have this
• 47:31
  long standing tradition of teams.
• 47:34
  So I don't, I don't know what what we need to do, but I think
• 47:38
  we need to lean into more old school, like Colin Klein would
• 47:42
  say the new old school. We need to lean into what makes
• 47:46
  actual football, like kind of historic and that's what we need
• 47:49
  to lean into, not this glass floor shit.
• 47:52
  I'm surprised you didn't mention like doing a Big 12 tournament
• 47:56
  on opening, like the opening week of basketball.
• 48:03
  You showcase the Big 12 the first week that college
• 48:09
  basketball starts with like a tournament, you know, maybe like
• 48:12
  a round Robin situation and, and you get a final four and you
• 48:23
  have a a tournament the beginning of the year that
• 48:27
  allows you to broadcast how strong the Big 12 is yet again
• 48:33
  by playing tough teams, getting Q1 games.
• 48:37
  For the most part, everybody gets an additional number of Q1
• 48:40
  games that are going to prep you for Big 12 play.
• 48:45
  So like a Big 12 Invitational, like we like the whole
• 48:49
  conference, Big 12 like invites like you want, you will draw
• 48:54
  your names out of hats if you really want to.
• 48:56
  I mean, or you do you have 60 all 16 or you do like maybe the
• 49:02
  top 12, top 8? We're overthinking this a little
• 49:07
  bit. Remember back in the day, there
• 49:09
  used to be a thing called the Big 8 Holiday Tournament?
• 49:12
  This was a thing that they used to do.
• 49:15
  You could do the Big 8 Holiday Tournament, invite the top eight
• 49:19
  teams in the Big 12, Yes, you could.
• 49:22
  And play, if you want to really appease the western flank of the
• 49:26
  conference, you can play it in Vegas.
• 49:28
  So they can shut the hell up every once in a while.
• 49:30
  I don't mind that. My other idea, my other idea is
• 49:36
  the Big 12. You partner with the NBA and you
• 49:41
  have Houston playing a game before the Rockets, and Houston
• 49:51
  plays BYU and the Rockets are playing the Jazz, and you get
• 49:59
  the bandsaw who's probably going to go to the Jazz.
• 50:02
  And, you know, you kind of like do a little bit of a partnership
• 50:07
  with the NBA. Nuggets, Nuggets and buffs.
• 50:10
  That's it. OK, so what's the so what's the
• 50:14
  legality Or like, what would be the problem with like, OK,
• 50:19
  exhibitions aren't necessarily like they're not, they don't
• 50:24
  count for anything. What's the what, what's the
• 50:29
  ruling on playing an exhibition against a professional team?
• 50:34
  Oh. Well.
• 50:36
  Well, we played the Soviet Union one time in basketball.
• 50:40
  No, I OK, so not necessarily like the starters for the
• 50:44
  Houston Rockets, but like what if we played their G League
• 50:47
  team? Nobody's going to want to watch
• 50:48
  that. No one.
• 50:50
  No, no, seriously. Nobody knows anybody that plays
• 50:55
  on G League. That's true.
• 50:57
  No, what what you need to do is you need to do like a you need
• 51:00
  to do like a double header situation where it's you do a
• 51:03
  partnership with the NBA, you do a double header at the local,
• 51:06
  like the most local. So Colorado Buffaloes are
• 51:10
  playing the the Houston Houston Cougars at Ball Arena in Denver
• 51:14
  and then the the headliner is going to be Nuggets, Rockets or
• 51:18
  vice versa. Or you, you know, Matt,
• 51:21
  literally Matt did the exact same thing.
• 51:23
  That's that's exactly what Matt just said, But you're trying to
• 51:25
  overthink it, chef. No, I, no, I get, I get it.
• 51:29
  I I like that. I like that.
• 51:31
  But the problem is the problem is no one gives a fuck about
• 51:37
  regular season basketball. Well I mean to be honest, no one
• 51:42
  gives a shit about NBA regular season basketball.
• 51:47
  That shit is just dead. No one watching?
• 51:49
  You'd be. Surprised.
• 51:50
  You am I am I am I shocked if it's not or like AI guess if
• 51:54
  it's a ESPN like prime time, then I guess maybe you're sell
• 51:58
  you're selling something that the the opening is the Houston
• 52:03
  Cougars versus, you know, the Colorado Buffalo.
• 52:07
  Maybe I I like it. I would.
• 52:08
  Hey, there's no bad ideas unless it's a glass floor.
• 52:13
  UCF in the Magic. I mean, there are a lot, there's
• 52:15
  a lot of overlap. Cincinnati, Who would be the
• 52:17
  closest team to Cincinnati? The like the Cavs?
• 52:20
  Cavs, Yeah. Cavs.
• 52:23
  You could have the Pacers. K State and KU are kind of
• 52:30
  screwed. It's like closest teams are
• 52:32
  Thunder and the Nuggets and the Wolves.
• 52:35
  The Bulls kind of on an island, but the Bulls and the the Hawks,
• 52:40
  that'd be, yeah, that'd be kind of fun.
• 52:42
  All right, we're going to do our mid pod ad read for Heartland
• 52:46
  Beef, one of our favorite sponsors.
• 52:48
  We're thrilled to be partnering with them again for football
• 52:52
  season. And we're not talking about
• 52:54
  grocery store beef. Heartland Beef connects Kansas
• 52:58
  and Midwest families directly with local ranchers that are
• 53:02
  sometimes located in Kansas. And of course, plenty of them
• 53:05
  are case Staters themselves. So they've got the same values,
• 53:08
  work ethic and all that jazz that that we all have here.
• 53:12
  They're doing it out on the land instead of on the football field
• 53:15
  or or the basketball court. Paul, friend of the program
• 53:18
  started Heartland Beef Connection to help support
• 53:21
  Midwest ranchers by matching them directly with families
• 53:25
  looking to buy quarter, half or whole beef shares.
• 53:27
  You know where your beef comes from, how it was raised and who
• 53:30
  raised it. And here's the part people don't
• 53:33
  expect. Not only does this beef taste
• 53:35
  better, it's actually cheaper per pound than grocery store
• 53:38
  beef when you buy direct. Better quality, more
• 53:41
  transparency, and you're not paying for the middle men.
• 53:45
  If you care about supporting Kansas agriculture, keeping
• 53:47
  money local, and eating beef that actually tastes the way
• 53:50
  beef should, this is how you do it.
• 53:53
  Here's the best part, because you're listening to Cocaine
• 53:55
  Willie, you can get $25 off the Heartland Beef Connection match
• 53:59
  fee when you mention the pod or use the code CW25.
• 54:04
  That's code CW25. Check out Heartland beef
• 54:07
  connection at heartlandbeef.net. Real beef, real ranchers, better
• 54:12
  beef for your money as I made a a USDA prime pecan steak tonight
• 54:18
  on a fennel and potato puree with chimichurri.
• 54:23
  Top. Good load sounds delightful it.
• 54:27
  Was it was very good. It was very good.
• 54:29
  All right, next question from Scott.
• 54:33
  What is the number one thing K State should prioritize when Hot
• 54:36
  boy Gene eventually retires when hiring the next AD?
• 54:47
  What was Gene going down? What was, I mean, what was
• 54:51
  Gene's big thing that he needed to get done when he came, when
• 54:55
  he came over? Get Snyder out.
• 55:00
  Well, in his time that. Was a little after.
• 55:03
  They re they built the volleyball, right?
• 55:08
  That was now they did all the Olympic they did.
• 55:10
  All the Olympic stuff. Did you?
• 55:13
  See another him too veneer they did Shamrock zone.
• 55:18
  Yep. So from a facilities
• 55:20
  perspective, he really did a lot.
• 55:23
  I, I think right now a big thing obviously is like nil and what
• 55:29
  you're doing in that department. But I, I, so with that, I think
• 55:35
  there's also like a branding aspect for K state 2 of like
• 55:39
  how, how can you develop the K state brand to be, you know, at
• 55:45
  a level that is at the top of the Big 12 with other schools?
• 55:51
  And I think some of that comes with nil and, and where, you
• 55:55
  know, how the money is getting the players and how you're doing
• 55:58
  a lot of that. So for me, I mean, honestly, I
• 56:01
  think kind of like a little bit of a younger voice might be
• 56:04
  really good. You know, to to be in a position
• 56:09
  where you are just maybe having a better understanding of the
• 56:14
  landscape of what, you know, this profit sharing piece and
• 56:20
  all of this, you know, all the stuff that has really changed in
• 56:23
  the past like four or five years.
• 56:26
  So for me, I think that's what I would say is the the priority.
• 56:31
  Unfortunately for US, one of the best candidates we could have
• 56:34
  had is now 88 Mizzou Hippos, Shadow adults, Weird Beach.
• 56:40
  Yeah. I don't know what I don't.
• 56:44
  I mean, the hires obviously are like the the things that get the
• 56:48
  most headlines in terms of like mainstream and what people can
• 56:52
  actually that are just fans kind of grasp onto.
• 56:56
  And I think if the big major ones are taken care of, which I
• 57:00
  think Casey Alexander and Colin Klein are taken care of, if Gene
• 57:04
  were to step down in the next year, two years, I think the
• 57:08
  hires are taken care of. And I like the NIL aspect.
• 57:12
  I don't know how much an AD is going to be responsible for that
• 57:16
  once if it's, you know, you know, collect how I don't know
• 57:20
  how they're going to do it or whatever, but that would be
• 57:25
  interesting. Like if players are collectively
• 57:28
  bargained, do they go through like into the future?
• 57:33
  Let's say that is what ends up happening and they're not
• 57:38
  student athletes anymore and their employees.
• 57:40
  How does who is he? Is he responsible for all of
• 57:44
  them? Is he responsible for like the
• 57:46
  500 student athletes or employees?
• 57:50
  Is that another 505 hundred on the payroll that he is
• 57:53
  responsible for? I guess he's technically
• 57:54
  responsible for him now, but I don't know.
• 57:58
  I just think that's interesting. I don't and, and who I would
• 58:02
  want, I have no earthly idea. I have no idea who's in that
• 58:07
  space that could help. But I, I think the vision has to
• 58:10
  be a younger voice, someone that can be here for a longer time to
• 58:14
  get us through whatever this transitional period of college
• 58:18
  sports is. I think that it has to be
• 58:20
  somebody with a fresh look at it.
• 58:23
  Yeah, I'd love for it to be someone that has a connection to
• 58:26
  K state, but that's not that's not the main criteria for me.
• 58:29
  It's got to be someone that's younger.
• 58:31
  I would honestly, a guy with jeans profile would be you know,
• 58:37
  that was kind of the the higher you want to make, right.
• 58:39
  It's a guy who's a high level at, you know, he was a high
• 58:43
  level at Iowa. I want to see was like associate
• 58:45
  AD or something in Iowa. So you've been an associate or
• 58:48
  assistant AD at a Power 4, Power 5 institution, ideally Power 4
• 58:53
  because you have football. If that's the case, ideally
• 58:57
  you've also been in AD at a lower level program.
• 59:00
  So you've run the show somewhere else.
• 59:03
  So I would love to have someone who has both AD experience at a
• 59:06
  lower level, associate or assistant AD experience kind of
• 59:10
  second in command, if you will, at a powerful institution.
• 59:13
  Those are the things that I want to look for and and especially
• 59:16
  someone who has had to have a significant hand to play on the
• 59:20
  NIL Rep share side of things. So now that that's all, now
• 59:24
  that's all consolidated under K State athletics, you're going to
• 59:27
  have a lot to do with that. So those are some of the things
• 59:31
  I would prioritize. Like honestly, Gene had a great
• 59:33
  profile coming in. I wouldn't try to stray too far
• 59:36
  away from that to be honest. So that's that's kind of what I
• 59:39
  would go for. Next question from Scott White
• 59:42
  hats for baseball teams. Yay or nay?
• 59:47
  White hats. I don't.
• 59:49
  I'm going to say nay, nay. Why I?
• 59:54
  Don't know if I like it. That's too.
• 59:57
  No. Give me a colored hat.
• 59:59
  I'm trying to think no. Yuck white hats.
• 1:00:07
  It's fine. Well, we're.
• 1:00:09
  No one wears a white hat. White hats are fine.
• 1:00:12
  I'm looking I'm. Looking No one wears a white
• 1:00:14
  hat. I don't think so.
• 1:00:15
  I mean, Toronto Blue Jays, the Toronto Blue Jays, they they
• 1:00:22
  wear a white, white front panel. Yeah, that's like the 70s vibe.
• 1:00:28
  I guess the the Pirates have done that too.
• 1:00:31
  Yeah, I don't. Know the Orioles.
• 1:00:34
  The Orioles have done it. I say why not?
• 1:00:37
  It's going to get dirty. It's going to look cool.
• 1:00:39
  Yuck, no. Then you then you get those,
• 1:00:42
  then you get those those players that have the same hat and then
• 1:00:46
  you get this nice sweat band that's sweat through there and
• 1:00:50
  it's all like a off. You just clean your clean your
• 1:00:53
  hats like normal people. No, no, no, no white hats.
• 1:00:58
  The sweat band looks great by the way.
• 1:01:01
  It's a sign of a well worn hat. Next question from Scott.
• 1:01:04
  If I won a billion dollars and decided to create a YouTube
• 1:01:08
  network to have K State, Big 12 and KC Sports Talk from 7:00 AM
• 1:01:12
  to 4:00 PM daily, how much would I have to give each of you to
• 1:01:17
  move to Shawnee and be part of it?
• 1:01:20
  Chef will take it for like 3 pieces of double bubble at this
• 1:01:23
  point. Not that.
• 1:01:27
  Much. I guess it depends on the time
• 1:01:29
  slot that I get because I'm assuming I'm not going to be the
• 1:01:33
  only person talking. I'm assuming you'd want
• 1:01:37
  different. If I could get the earliest and
• 1:01:40
  I get how many, how many? 7:00 to 7:00 to noon would be a
• 1:01:47
  good slot, and then noon to 4. Yeah, give me, give me $150,000
• 1:01:56
  annually. So you'd have to move to Shawnee
• 1:01:59
  with your family. No problem.
• 1:02:02
  That's not a problem. OK, I'm asking.
• 1:02:04
  I'm asking like 300 and honestly, he won a billion
• 1:02:07
  dollars. Like I'm going to highball this.
• 1:02:12
  No, give me I'm going to keep. I want Scott as wealthy as
• 1:02:15
  possible. I don't want to hemorrhage him
• 1:02:16
  for no money. I want to keep him as rich as
• 1:02:19
  possible. He'll be my sugar daddy.
• 1:02:21
  He'll take care of me all I need.
• 1:02:24
  That's just my salary, not we're best friends at this point.
• 1:02:28
  I'm moving to Shawnee for him to talk a state.
• 1:02:30
  He's going to be on there. We're going to do all the fun
• 1:02:34
  things that we send each other on Instagram.
• 1:02:37
  And yeah, I'll be off off the clock at noon.
• 1:02:42
  I got all day. Let's go, brother.
• 1:02:44
  Living off that 150K. In the world, it would mean a
• 1:02:48
  lot. It would take a lot for me to
• 1:02:49
  leave. It would take a lot for.
• 1:02:51
  Me take a lot for me to leave I'm.
• 1:02:52
  Going to say $1,000,000 a million.
• 1:02:55
  Dollar haters. I mean, I don't know if I need
• 1:02:58
  $1,000,000. No, I've got like 3%.
• 1:03:01
  I've got like a 3% interest rate on this house.
• 1:03:04
  It's going to. I ain't fucking leaving, man.
• 1:03:07
  I'm stuck. Why can't you have two homes?
• 1:03:12
  Hey 2021, that was the best time to buy.
• 1:03:14
  That's true, you can rent it out.
• 1:03:16
  Rent it out to some. Yeah, you know, college kids.
• 1:03:21
  I I love it out here. Number 14 from Scott, He was,
• 1:03:26
  well, this, I guess, his 13th question.
• 1:03:28
  If each of you had full access to a Midwest share of local beef
• 1:03:32
  and had to prepare a full meal for a group of patrons at an
• 1:03:36
  Aggieville basement bar, what are you preparing?
• 1:03:41
  Yeah. OK.
• 1:03:43
  So I mean, we're serving this in a bar.
• 1:03:46
  I'm assuming this is a, a private banquet that we're
• 1:03:49
  doing. So we're going to have at least
• 1:03:52
  we're going to do at least seven courses.
• 1:03:55
  We're going to do 7 courses we're going to take.
• 1:03:57
  We're going to stretch this thing out.
• 1:03:59
  It's a full beef. Share Matt.
• 1:04:02
  Yeah, I mean, we're stretching this thing out.
• 1:04:04
  We're going to probably do some, we're probably going to do some
• 1:04:07
  Shanks with some marrow to start with, on some crustinis with
• 1:04:13
  some, you know, some roasted marrow, maybe some kind of pesto
• 1:04:17
  to go with that. That's just for start.
• 1:04:20
  I mean, I literally just spitballing this off the top of
• 1:04:23
  my head. Maybe a tartar course after
• 1:04:25
  that. Then we'll probably do, we'll,
• 1:04:29
  maybe we'll do like something fried and tallow because we, we
• 1:04:33
  got to use the tallow some at some point.
• 1:04:39
  Then we'll, you know, everybody loves this.
• 1:04:41
  We'll do a fajita. We'll do a fajita, a large
• 1:04:45
  fajita. We'll get the biggest fucking
• 1:04:47
  fajita plate that you've ever seen in your life.
• 1:04:49
  It's a spectacle. You got to step probably a foot
• 1:04:53
  back because you're going to get splatter because you already
• 1:04:54
  know the people at Chili's. They get the, the, the sizzling
• 1:04:58
  and those, those things can hurt you.
• 1:05:00
  We'll probably do some flank over that with some poblanos and
• 1:05:05
  all that stuff, all kinds of different Peppers and onions,
• 1:05:12
  trying to think. While we're on the Taco train,
• 1:05:15
  you could you could do some language tacos.
• 1:05:17
  Yeah, give me some. Give me a Taco, Give me a Taco.
• 1:05:20
  Give me some language you can grab with some cheese.
• 1:05:24
  Yeah, you've got, you've got the full share.
• 1:05:26
  So you could do some barbacoa with some cheek meat.
• 1:05:27
  Cheek meat. Give me some cheek meat.
• 1:05:29
  I'm thinking brisket BBQ brisket sliders burn ends well.
• 1:05:37
  Now we're now we're doing a whole BBQ meal.
• 1:05:40
  I don't know if I want to do that.
• 1:05:41
  I was thinking more I would. I'm all for the Taco.
• 1:05:44
  I mean, I've already brought all fajitas.
• 1:05:46
  Why not a Taco? Maybe What's the what's the kind
• 1:05:49
  of Taco? Where's the the cheese?
• 1:05:52
  And then it's got like a layer of beans and then they grab it
• 1:05:55
  like with the tortilla. A beefy 5 layer burrito.
• 1:06:04
  Not a beefy 5 player. OK.
• 1:06:07
  And then? And then what if we got a cow
• 1:06:12
  and it had milk in it? Still does that?
• 1:06:15
  Does that work? How does that work?
• 1:06:17
  What if we got a cow and it had milk still in it?
• 1:06:23
  What the I'm? Trying to think of dessert.
• 1:06:27
  I can't, I can't tell that works.
• 1:06:29
  You there's any potential that you think that that's the case?
• 1:06:33
  I don't think that's how. Do they preserve the utters is
• 1:06:35
  that's what I'm I'm asking? Next, Next.
• 1:06:41
  Next. Don't think that's how that
• 1:06:42
  works. Next question from Scott.
• 1:06:45
  This is the last one we've got. We've reached the end.
• 1:06:47
  Are K State football fans ready to accept that Colin Klein's
• 1:06:51
  recruit recruiting classes won't differentiate that much to what
• 1:06:55
  Chris Kleinman was bringing in? Yeah, I think that's oh, OK.
• 1:07:02
  The question is, are they ready accept that?
• 1:07:03
  Yeah, they're not ready to. They're not ready for that.
• 1:07:07
  I think. I think he's going to be able to
• 1:07:09
  land some talent, but I think it's just the new era of sports.
• 1:07:15
  I think high school recruiting classes have kind of just got
• 1:07:19
  papooed on by all levels of football.
• 1:07:22
  I think that's kind of the back burners.
• 1:07:25
  The smaller schools are getting developed players that didn't
• 1:07:31
  get as much run at Power 4. Power fours are scooping the
• 1:07:36
  best players from the G5. The portal is just kind of the
• 1:07:41
  thing to do. It's kind of I, I feel like high
• 1:07:44
  school recruiting is to a point where you take the bet, not even
• 1:07:50
  the best offer. You just take what you can,
• 1:07:54
  commit as quickly as you can to get on the ship and then you
• 1:07:58
  ball out and then you hit the portal and then you go from
• 1:08:01
  there. That's really where you're
• 1:08:03
  recruiting starts is when you hit that portal for the first
• 1:08:06
  time. And I, I think it's Colin
• 1:08:10
  Klein's not going to be any different.
• 1:08:12
  I don't think so. I think Chris Kleiman tried to
• 1:08:15
  do that thing where he was like, we'll just get the, we'll get 12
• 1:08:18
  guys for the portal. But I think, I think at this
• 1:08:21
  point you're going to need to run about 20 portal players
• 1:08:24
  every year. Unfortunately, I think it's,
• 1:08:28
  it's that's where we're at. So high school, if you're not
• 1:08:32
  landing a couple five stars, I don't think high school
• 1:08:37
  recruiting is all that important.
• 1:08:41
  I don't think Haste fans are ready to accept it, but I do.
• 1:08:44
  I don't think it's going to deviate much from what Kleiman
• 1:08:46
  did so. It's not at all.
• 1:08:49
  Yeah, but yeah. Unhinged people we have.
• 1:08:54
  Hey, Jake Narat. That would be raising the
• 1:08:57
  ceiling a little bit that. Would raise the ceiling.
• 1:08:59
  He's a skinny bastard though, at least at least from what I see
• 1:09:02
  in him in pads. He's skinny, but maybe his
• 1:09:05
  basketball? His basketball physique looks a
• 1:09:07
  lot better than his football physique.
• 1:09:09
  I don't know if that's just. Classic chef talking about high
• 1:09:12
  schoolers physiques it's. Better than talking about
• 1:09:16
  animated teenagers. Oh my God, this is question 16
• 1:09:25
  comes from Kunal Patel 23. Is Texas a true Cinderella?
• 1:09:31
  I've been asking this question to my wife, Texas fan, for the
• 1:09:36
  last five days. And then we've had some very
• 1:09:38
  funny discussions around it. But it's funny because they're
• 1:09:42
  the they're what, an 11 seed? 11 yeah, playing. 11 they play.
• 1:09:46
  They're the lowest, yeah. They're the lowest seeded team
• 1:09:48
  remaining. So I guess technically they're a
• 1:09:50
  Cinderella. But she's like, yeah, people are
• 1:09:52
  still going to hate us because we're Texas.
• 1:09:54
  I'm like, yeah, it's. True, she's a smart woman.
• 1:10:00
  She's in the real world. Are they a Cinderella?
• 1:10:02
  I buy the by the classical definition, they are a
• 1:10:07
  Cinderella. But what we define as a
• 1:10:09
  Cinderella, I think is what I've define.
• 1:10:12
  A Cinderella is somebody that comes from one of those one bit
• 1:10:16
  leagues or something like that. If High Point would have been in
• 1:10:18
  their shoes, then yeah. Yeah, yeah, I'm with you.
• 1:10:24
  Horns down. Are they a true Cinderella,
• 1:10:26
  Matt? No.
• 1:10:30
  You're not right. All right.
• 1:10:32
  A Cinderella is a 12 or above. Oh, come on.
• 1:10:37
  Wow, wow. A 12 or above, specifically in
• 1:10:41
  2026. A good change in 2027.
• 1:10:46
  OK. OK, OK.
• 1:10:49
  Next question comes from Chief Marketing Officer of the Cocaine
• 1:10:52
  Willie Podcast. Mandy Marchisini asks.
• 1:10:55

• 1:10:59

• 1:11:18

• 1:11:21
  time. Are we OK?
• 1:11:23
  So point guard. So technically 2011 Jacob Poen
• 1:11:28
  was a point guard for us. Yeah.
• 1:11:32
  Frank, Jake. Oh, my am Beasley, huh?
• 1:11:41
  Oh, I'm going to go different because that team played
• 1:11:45
  together. Yeah, I'm.
• 1:11:48
  Going. To go, I'm going to go, I'm
• 1:11:51
  going to go. Dean Wade.
• 1:11:56
  I like it. All right, we'll pick LON
• 1:11:59
  Kruger. OK.
• 1:12:02
  Denny Clemente. OK, pretty quick.
• 1:12:06
  Bill Walker. I like it uninjured.
• 1:12:10
  Bill Walker. OK, now this is my honorable
• 1:12:12
  mention. And this is absolutely just off
• 1:12:16
  the top. Like this is give me, give me
• 1:12:22
  Bruce. Give me Angel.
• 1:12:31
  And and give me Ghasson. Give me those three.
• 1:12:39
  OK, I. Understand all.
• 1:12:41
  Right, give me David Ghasson. I mean unlimited field goal
• 1:12:47
  percentage. He's he's making every layup
• 1:12:50
  Angel very underrated. Loved Angel angels game and give
• 1:12:55
  me Bruce. Give me Brucey Big 12 champ.
• 1:13:00
  OK, OK. Who is your most hated
• 1:13:04
  basketball program other than KU?
• 1:13:06
  Also for Mandy Marchisini. You know, it's starting to
• 1:13:09
  become Nebraska. It's very fucking close right
• 1:13:13
  now. It's starting to become Nebraska
• 1:13:15
  a little bit. I don't.
• 1:13:18
  It's very close. Iowa State, I don't really like
• 1:13:23
  them. Did she say Big 12 or just any?
• 1:13:25
  Basketball and could be anybody 1 Yukon, honestly.
• 1:13:29
  Wisconsin. Hurley.
• 1:13:31
  I've got some PTSD man. Give me honestly if if I would,
• 1:13:40
  if Iowa keeps doing it. I don't like Iowa if they are
• 1:13:44
  so. I like Iowa.
• 1:13:45
  I don't like them. They're nasty.
• 1:13:47
  Brendan The. Enemy the enemy, enemy friend.
• 1:13:51
  The enemy is my friend. And in that case, it's Nebraska
• 1:13:55
  and Iowa State, so I'm I'm all in on the hot.
• 1:13:57
  Guys, the fact that Nebraska and Iowa are playing in the Sweet 16
• 1:14:04
  is disgusting, but also incredible.
• 1:14:10
  Like you think you think that that Houston, like the South
• 1:14:14
  Regional in Houston, Houston's the highest seed left, but that
• 1:14:20
  place is going to be filled with Nebraska people and now Iowa
• 1:14:27
  people because they know they're playing Nebraska.
• 1:14:30
  That's. What you're saying like the fact
• 1:14:34
  that one of those teams is going to the elite?
• 1:14:36
  A elite A from my back that I picked.
• 1:14:40
  Houston out of there. I had Fan.
• 1:14:42
  I had Vanderbilt. Oh.
• 1:14:46
  Really. Oh.
• 1:14:47
  That makes. Sense.
• 1:14:49
  Well, no, I mean like I had Vanderbilt where Nebraska is.
• 1:14:54
  I didn't expect them. Yeah, anyway.
• 1:14:57
  I thought you meant that you had Vandy coming out of that.
• 1:15:01
  How are you in the 99th percentile?
• 1:15:04
  You had picked Vandy. The map ain't nothing.
• 1:15:07
  Yeah, it's yeah. It's it's got to be Iowa State
• 1:15:10
  for me. I mean, I've, I've always hated
• 1:15:12
  Oklahoma like a shit ton as well.
• 1:15:15
  Wichita State's probably up there.
• 1:15:18
  Yeah. It's got to be Iowa State,
• 1:15:19
  though. Who does North Carolina hire?
• 1:15:23
  TJ do they? That would be hilarious.
• 1:15:27
  DJ would be very hilarious. What also would be hilarious.
• 1:15:31
  Just think about this. They'll sell retires from KU and
• 1:15:34
  UNC hires. Whoa boy.
• 1:15:40
  Williams whole storyline. Yeah, UNC.
• 1:15:43
  UNC would have poached the last two coaches from KU.
• 1:15:45
  That'd be a fun. Then KU takes Brad.
• 1:15:49
  Oh good God, that would be that would.
• 1:15:52
  That would not be. That would not be good.
• 1:15:55
  My next question from Mandy Herd beverage for March Madness
• 1:15:59
  games. I drank a lot of tea this
• 1:16:03
  weekend. Twisties, Surfside teas.
• 1:16:08
  I drank a lot of teas this weekend.
• 1:16:10
  I enjoyed it. 0 sugar mug my new crack.
• 1:16:15
  I've been What was your Joe? What was your old crack?
• 1:16:19
  Actual crack. Actual crack, which is you
• 1:16:23

• 1:16:29
  lot of 0 sugar Orange crush. Yeah yeah, and I'm I'm just the
• 1:16:35
  biggest diet doctor Pepper flavor.
• 1:16:36
  Oh, I got a question for you guys.
• 1:16:39
  Part of this we were discussing diet or Doctor Pepper's 23
• 1:16:46
  flavors. Is sugar a flavour?
• 1:16:51
  Yes, because it's distinctly different from other sweeteners.
• 1:16:57
  Sugar is a flavour. Have you ever flavour a bag of
• 1:17:00
  sugar? It has a flavour to it.
• 1:17:02
  What does it taste like? Sugar.
• 1:17:07
  Yeah. It has a different flavor than
• 1:17:09
  honey or Maple syrup. Well, honey's a flavor.
• 1:17:13
  Honey's a flavor sugar. Also sweetener.
• 1:17:17
  Flavor. Cookie is flavored with vanilla
• 1:17:21
  and butter. I think sugar is not a flavor.
• 1:17:27
  I think it's AI think it is a enhancer of flavors.
• 1:17:32
  I think you're very wrong, but oh.
• 1:17:34
  My God, yeah, I I'm with, I'm with Matt here, which rare for
• 1:17:38
  me to take on a on a food take, but my preferred beverages and

  State. That's that's.
• 1:19:08
  Xavier's second, Yeah. I like Kentucky.
• 1:19:14
  Kentucky was good. Kentucky in the.

  The Barry Brown. Kentucky, that was the good one.

  Kentucky versus the Kentucky Tang year too.
• 1:19:28
  I mean, that was awesome. That was a good one too.
• 1:19:31
  More dudes than they did. They had more dudes, got more

  The year we played Drexel, Drexel with the year we played
• 1:20:06
  UC Irvine. Yeah.
• 1:20:08
  Is that UC Irvine's the Berry game where he foul basically

  Yeah. And Berry got 3 fouls and didn't
• 1:20:17
  get. That Loyola, OH.
• 1:20:23
  Fuck yeah. Loyola was tough.
• 1:20:27
  A lot. Of bad ones.
• 1:20:29
  Wisconsin both times for me were just painful, painful.
• 1:20:34
  Gabby Gratton. Gabby Gratton What was the
• 1:20:38
  highlight of your stay in Philly?
• 1:20:41
  Please leave a review. Let's see couple couple
• 1:20:45
  highlights. Angelo's for pizza.
• 1:20:49
  Maybe the best pizza I've ever had.
• 1:20:52
  What was so good about it? The crust.
• 1:20:56
  OK. Did it not have melted cheese
• 1:20:58
  on? It I had some, but it had some
• 1:21:02
  hot sausage and long hots and red pepper flakes.
• 1:21:08
  Probably the best one of the best pizzas I've ever had.
• 1:21:13
  Let's see other highlights. One $850.00 with my high school
• 1:21:20
  friends and then a nice little parlay for teams in the Sweet
• 1:21:24
  16. We all picked one team, five of
• 1:21:26
  us. All five made it $250.
• 1:21:30
  Ryan got to say 50. We'll see how we lose that.
• 1:21:34
  This week. That brings us probably to our
• 1:21:38
  next question. And then I had great hospitality
• 1:21:42
  with Tyler and Gabby, who let me stay there for free.
• 1:21:44
  So that's all that matters. That's great.
• 1:21:47
  That's great. Full free.
• 1:21:49
  All right, Davey, baby, what are you betting for this round of

  to be an animal these Cam Newton.
• 1:25:52

  Well, I knew. Because he was a quarterback.
• 1:26:03
  Yeah, he was. He was a quarterback.
• 1:26:05
  I knew he was going to be a problem though, because I was
• 1:26:07
  like, why is he even playing offense?
• 1:26:08
  His dad was like a dog at linebacker for the Falcons.
• 1:26:13
  I was like, give me why is he even playing over here?
