  Speaker 1: So I want to get just a couple things real quick.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: It's Friday. Deep breath, Time to have a cocktail. My
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: drive February comes to an end today. You know how
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: long it lasted, by the way, seventy Take a guess
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: my dry February fourteen days, two weeks, no four days,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: all right, trying to give you some credit.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I got under.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. It was a four day drive. Excellent. Yeah,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I feel really good about myself. I'm patting myself on.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: The back on a Friday.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And now it's a Friday, and there's no hockey
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: game tonight and I gotta work tomorrow. So yeah, I
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: think drive February comes to an end today. So away
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: we go today. Anyway, we uh, yesterday was intense and
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I'll just kind of put a bowl on it last
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: night front with this, you know, looking at the text
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: messages when we were on the air, then looking at
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: something that came in after. It's mostly what I expected.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: And that would be very split in terms of opinions
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and reactions. And I don't even say opinions, it's just reaction.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: There are many that were very upset the reaction wasn't
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I disagree with you? Is I hate you?
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: And the venom and the vitriol coming. And I understand that,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: and I knew that going in. I've got no problem
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: with that. I've got no problem whatsoever. Listen, I think
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: at times, and when you sit in this chair, you
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: can have quote unquote the stupid term we use in
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: this business, the hot take, right, hot take, Well, hot
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: takes about sports are one thing. When sports cross into
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: different parts of our life, it's it's different. It no
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: longer becomes a hot take. It becomes an idiotic take
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: or or you know, questioning problematic, toxic. Yeah, you're questioning
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: someone's character. And I get that, and I get that,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: but I felt yesterday it was important to have the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: conversation I was. I thought it was important to have
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Jerry Brewer on who wrote a who wrote a calumn
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: in the Athletic that frankly not And there was things
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't agree with what Jerry said. I you know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: when you know he didn't want to have guys draped
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the flag around their shoulders. I disagree with that. I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: think that's fine that you're the US Olympian, You're representing
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: our country. You win a gold medal. I've got no
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: problem with that whatsoever. I really don't. But I know
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: there's people Aaron Andres you told me there's a text
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: came in from a military man.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, a veteran, that mentioned that it's actually against the
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: flag code to do that.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Right, and so I respect that too. You know, I
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: think that's also something that if your team USA, if
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: you're the US Olympic committees, shouldrobably have that discussion and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: probably had that discussion at a high level with somebody
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: that's a high ranking military man. Someone that is a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: general that went to West Point or the Naval Academy
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: or the Air Force like that understands that I don't understand.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell understands that we don't. But that's a conversation
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: for somebody else. It's been a part of Olympic lore forever,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: as mentioned to Mark, Jim Craig of course famously and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: eighty did it when they had the Miracle on Ice.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I believe it happened in seventy two as well in
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the Munich Games, probably even in Montreal in seventy six.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: But you know, there were things like that that come
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: into play, and I didn't agree with with when Jerry
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: said that he's a guest, I'm not going to fight
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: him on it at that point, but I disagree with that.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: But a lot of what he wrote I did agree
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: with it and took it took so. I mean, he
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: was hired to write columns like that by the Athletic
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and we remember Gary's Jerry's great sports arnting when the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Settle Times, and he does a terrific job, and I
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: thought it was important to have him. Manya strathought I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: was important to have the conversation. I kind of kicked
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: myself we didn't have it earlier in the week. I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: kind of hmmed and hadn and went back and forth
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to I want to do this or not not because
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I don't want the blowback. I've never going back to
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: my days in Salt Lake, I've never been a talk
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: show host that wants to have everyone just you know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: screaming and yellen, no loude. You can tell you how
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: how much they love you and all that. That's I
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: appreciate the people that listen to the show, and so
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I'll wrap it up before we get to Doney with this.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I appreciate all of you who listen to the show.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I hope you appreciate the fact that we can have
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: differing opinions. I hope you appreciate that, whether it's sports
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: or sometimes otherwise that we may not agree. Discourse is
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: in debate and opposing views. All, okay, that's fine. We
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: have become a and I think you know there are
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: some that will blame the President. I won't do that.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I'll blame just the world we live in now, social
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: media specifically, how small the worlds become to being the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: point now where we can't do that. We can't have
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: logical conversations about opposing views. We cannot do that. We
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: cannot look across the aisle and have that conversation without
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: having a filibuster or screaming and yelling and being removed
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: from chambers and things like that. We just aren't able
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to do that anymore for a variety of reasons. I'll
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: just tell you this, on this show, there are gonna
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: be times where we talk about things and you're not
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: gonna like my opinion. And there can be times you're
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: not gonna like what you hear from Anders or Jess.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: There's but that's not We're not going to change in
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: what we do and how we how we operate, that's
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: just not what's going to happen. I've done this for
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a long damn time. When I went to Salt Lake,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I probably did it to the detriment of myself at
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: times because I take shots at the at the the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: church that was kind of the majority down there. But
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I tried to do so. I joke about, you know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the funny under where I'd say, and that got me
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: in trouble and I learned my lesson there. But but no,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: like listen, I had no problem calling out by U
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: when things happened athletically specific specific and I didn't. I
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: thought that, you know, listen, it's their code of honor.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I think it's goofy. I think there's some hypocrite hypocrisy
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to that you're forcing people to get married a young
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: age so they can have sex and then they then
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the divorce rates really high. Went through the whole thing
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: with a running back for you omahi and playing in
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the NFL for a long time. And but I had
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: those conversations then because I didn't. I think that those
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: are important conversations. And I also think people sometimes are thinking
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: things but they don't want to say I'm out loud.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: So that's a long way of saying I appreciate everybody
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: who listens to the show. I appreciate those who had
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: respectful back and forth yesterday on the text line. It
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: was interesting we played every talkback, Yes we did. People
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: are really, really, really apt to give you feedback when
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: there's no accountability. What I mean by that is this,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: if you think back to what we did yesterday with
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the with the talkbacks, they're all positive. Yes, there was
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: nothing that was like furnash, you're an idiot, you're wrong,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Jerry Brewer is a knucklehead. But there's none of that
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: with a voice that someone might recognize.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, someone's able to stand behind what they say.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: But when you hide behind fake Twitter handles, when you
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: hide behind a text line. Now, the funny thing is
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: sometimes we do still see your name depending on your provider,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: That is true. But we see to see your phone number,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: and we can see our history when you text in.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: That is true.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: And there's some of you that there's some of you
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: honestly that you should probably be embarrassed of what you've
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: texted in over the years. Oh, I've gotten like like
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: honestly should be embarrassed, like, like, how and it's not me,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: it's because I can see it's the other shows. It's
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: a Chuck and buck. It's to MJ is a softy fan.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: It's other people. Some of you guys should be embarrassed. Like,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: think about would you really text that to somebody that
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: you knew that you would have to face again? Would
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: you really do that? Would you really send that text out?
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Would you have the balls to do that? That'd be
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: my question to you. I I, on a much lighter note,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: on a much lighter note, speaking of accountability, I'm gonna
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: call a guy out and has I think it's it's
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: a different thing. You'll think this note. It's sort of
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: a lighter but I'm gonna call this guy out for
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: being a dipstick. So some guy, this this came in
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: yesterday at three thirty pm, a half hour after we're
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: off the air, some guy named Mike Burgess sed her
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: dad fifty two ian have you waited on the controversy
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: with the men's and women's gold medal winning hockey teams.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I know you guys say you don't want to mix
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: politics and sports, but it's already been done in this case.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Would be nice to hear an opinion of someone involved
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: with the sport. Yes, I don't even know what to say. No,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I haven't waited on it at all.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: No, just totally avoided it.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I like the plague. Mike, thanks for listening.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: You could find out on the podcast.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I would say, Mike, listen to the podcast or which
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: is posted from yesterday the two hour show. iHeartRadio app.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I would say, go ahead and listen to that. But
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: judging by the tweet text X whatever it is, you're
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: not listening anyway. But you want to know if I've
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: weighed in on it, but you haven't listened. Oh, I
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: waited on Mike, So did Jerry, and so do a
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: few hundred. We could only see two hundred texts at
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: a time and we ran out of room yesterday. Yes,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: so yes, we all waited in on it. Thank you
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to all that weight in.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we like to hear your opinions, whether you agree
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: with us or not. I think we do a good
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: job of showing that we can see both sides.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I'll read there's a lot of hosts that don't read
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: negative texts. I have no problem reading negative texts. I
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: got no problem to that. I would like, if you
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: enjoyed our show and didn't get angry at our show,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: that would be awesome. But I also understand that that's
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: not reality. It is sports. Most of the time, it's
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: just kind of fun and games, but there are times
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: we're going to cross over. So I thought yesterday was
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: a really it was an interesting show. As I after
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the show was over, as we're getting ready for our
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: pregame on TV, and I was talking to Alison quite
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: a bit about it because she does a podcast and
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: she was reading me the We were reading comments back
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and forth, comments from her podcast and comments from what
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I said. Maybe we just have a huge crossold audience.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know, they were very similar.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: I think there's a huge cross etion. And I'm just
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: coming from me as someone who's worked with you here
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: only for three years, but also have worked with you
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: on the television side. I appreciated the conversation and I
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: appreciate the fact that you were willing to wade into
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: those waters.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I thought it was important we have a conversation again,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: whether you agree with me or disagree with me. And
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I would say, I don't know, Andergy. You guys are
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: looking at the text, Yeah, I thought split.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it split.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Now, if it's split, we did lose half our audience
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: yesterday did we though?
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: We because kept on texting it well.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: But if it was really split, we lost half our audience.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: And I sure hope you come back some days.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: So that's where I say, like, we respect even if
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: you disagree with us. I think it's nice to be
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: able to know that you're hurt. We can be open
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: to that.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Mike, if you listen, you'll be hurt as well.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: And we did weigh on yesterday. Thanks Mike, We do
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: appreciate you. We'll come back. Danny O'Neil. Next.

• 13:36
  Speaker 1: look ahead, look back, look forward. I want to kind
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: of compare and contrast. I think you and I can
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: do this quite well because we were there, both of
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: us for New York, and then subsequently we were there
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the next year unfortunately in Phoenix as well. What do
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: you think the Seahawks and John Schneider learned from Super
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Bowl forty eight that he can take into this win.
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: He learned that you don't have to get to sort
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: of the finished product. You don't.
• 14:05
  Speaker 9: You don't.
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: You don't have to be where when the season starts out,
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: everybody says, Okay, this team is ready to go.
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: That that you can. You can. You can arrive at.
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: The destination before anybody expects you to. And when they
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: won the first Super Bowl, it really was that season
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: started with the expectation that this team should contend for
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: Super Bowl. I don't think anybody felt like you should
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: win the Super but it was this team's got everything
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: it needs and they had acquired Percy Harvin in a
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: trade they felt they had their quarterback.
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: This year's was a lot.
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: Different because I I think I was fairly optimistic and
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: my limit for them was like this, this team's not
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: getting past the division round like they they If they
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: make the playoffs and win a playoff game, that's a
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: hell of a year. And that's probably the ceiling for
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: this team. And the ceiling turned out to be a
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: lot higher. And so I think that that's what comes
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: back to them and they're like, hey, we've got it
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: set up now. We don't have to go find a
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: different quarterback. We're kind of set at cornerback for the
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: for the near term, and that gives us some freedom
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: and some other spots. They're in a great spot right
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: now in my opinion.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would tend to agree. I think, you know,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I think the other thing that you probably and and
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and I know I know that kind of that question
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: came out of the blue because I've been thinking about
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: this a lot. I think that you know, it's it's
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: not often obviously Belichick and the Patriots and maybe what
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs have done, sort of the Philadelphi Eagles. It's
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: not often that you have, you know, the GM and
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the coach in place and have not just won it,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: but also won it years prior and have done it
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: twice with building it from scratch is what John Schneider did.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: And you know, I was thinking one of the things
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: that he's going to learn because we're going into free agency,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: which we'll get to in a second, I think one
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: of the things you learn is, Okay, when you have
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: great success, other people want your people, starting with players
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: and then with coach is and then how do you
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: prioritize those players because we know in a sader cap
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: league you can't keep everybody. And I think, Danny, one
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: of the things I thought back to when they won
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: it the first time and then went into the next
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: year and should have and almost won at the second time,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: is that all these guys that were pieces but support personnel,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: like the back every guy that was a backup player
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: in the secondary, all of a sudden was getting massive offers.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Malcolm Smith is a Super Bowl MVP, ends up going
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: with the Raiders. Initially, you know, you have all these
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: guys that people want, right, and how do you handle that?
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Golden Tate is all of a sudden a hot commodity
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: around the league. How do you prioritize, and more importantly, Danny,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: who do you prioritize as far as bringing guys back?
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: And I think John Schneider's experience with that, I think
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: that will bode well as we go into what's really
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: going to be a challenging free agency with a lot
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: of key guys.
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: Golden Tate is a great reference point that his archer
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: and free agency. When you look back, that was that
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: was the most painful loss in that two to three
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: year window. And the reason they lost Golden Tate is
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: complicated because there is some of what you were saying.
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: He becomes a desired piece by another team that wants
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: to copy what you're doing. They see him as a
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: valuable component. But what complicated it for Seattle was Percy
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: Harvin and the trade for him and the contract for him.
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: Seattle wasn't just negotiating against the Lions. They were negotiating
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: against the fact that they had given an enormous amount
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: of money to Percy Harvin previously, and that that was something.
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: Whether Golden Tate has ever admitted that or spelled that
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: out or not, I am convinced that that played a
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: factor in it where it wasn't just going to be hey,
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: if Seattle makes a competitive or the same offer, because
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: often in these situations, ty goes to the team that
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: has you, right, like if the team somebody like Michael
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: Bennett when he looked to leave in free agency and
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: Seattle he had the Chicago made an offer to him,
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: Seattle matched it, he stayed that Usually that's the way
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: it goes. I think in Tate's case it was almost
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: the opposite that Seattle was going to have to go
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: above and beyond because of what they'd paid Harvd and
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: sort of that that underlying sense of like he didn't
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: do as much as I did last year, and so
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: I think that that but that gets into you have
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: to identify the guys that the essential pieces and that
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: that you can't And in that way, I would say
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: Rashid Shaheed is probably more of a priority than than
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: than Rik Woolen. And it's not because Shaheed is a
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: better player, and it's not because the the even necessarily
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: the season they had, but the important for what they do,
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: they don't have anybody else that has the speed that
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: she Heat has at wide receiver.
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: And then the kick returner part.
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: Maybe Horton comes back, but I think that those are
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: the decisions you start to make that Seattle's been able
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: to withstand when they've lost corners in free agency. It's
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: been a little tougher when they've lost a wide receiver guy.
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: So I think that's some of the experience. The other
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: thing that happened the last time they won the Super
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: Bowl is Marshall Lynch held out at the beginning of
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: the next season and that became that that was the
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: start of a strained period, and he subsequently after that
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: did sign a new contract that was a year later
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: after the second Super Bowl, but some of the hard
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: feelings that developed around that time lingered, and we had
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: him not getting on the bus to go to Minnesota
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: to play in the playoff game in twenty fifteen. So
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: that's the other thing that you have to watch is
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: that you have to make sure that the veterans that
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: are the bedrock for you are you're you're dealing with
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: the appetite that they might have for more money, because
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: you can't throw new contracts to everybody, right.
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: We saw that very clearly.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Riek Wallans Byron Maxwell, to be honest
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: with you, I think he's I think that's the comp
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: for him. I think he's Byron Maxwell. I think he's
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: going to get a big contract to go somewhere and
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: and the Seahawks will say, we just can't match it,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: and we'll keep Josh Job instead, and and Reek will
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: go and he'll make his money, and maybe someday, much
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: like Byron Maxwell, he'll come back, like honestly, like like that.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: But I think that's I think I think Greek is
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Byron Max because we knew they weren't gonna be able
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: to keep that secondary intact. Drown, Johnson left, Chris Maraghos
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: left right like all those and those guys, you know what,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: they all got paid, which good for them. They weren't
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: gonna start here right like now. It would have been
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: nice to have like Maraghos or Johnson when Earl went,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Earl and uh and Cam held out, it'd be great
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: to still have those guys. We can't keep all those guys,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I think. And I brought up Golden Tate for this.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: There's there's this like growing thought. And I don't know if
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I say it's concern, but just come of growing that
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Ken Walker may be hard to retain. I wonder, I
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: wonder if Golden Tate in a sense because there is
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: no other high paid running back. I wonder if Golden
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Tate is a lesson for John Schneider with Ken Walker.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: In other words, I think I think Golden Tate was
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: missed that next year. Yeah, I think he was missed.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: All due respect to Doug and Germaine, I think Golden
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Tate was missed the next year.
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, And go it between the two of those guys,
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: Percy Harvin and Golden Tate. Percy Arvin cost a lot
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: more money than Golden Tate ever did, and it's a
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: different reason. It wasn't a talent evaluation thing with Percy Harvin.
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: But you had to trade Percy Arvin midway through the
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: next season because he had he was he was choosing
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: not to go back into a game or making himself
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: out of bailable.
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: So I would agree, and I think that.
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: Walker it's look Seattle values running backs of time.
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: I think Walker is very important.
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: I do think the one advantage Schneider will have is
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: that Schneider has in the past shown the willingness and
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: ability to be very aggressive in terms of salary and
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: dial back on the number of years that if you
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: can't give a player that you want to keep the
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: total size of contract that that they're that they're looking for,
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: to give him a two or maybe even a three
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: year deal, but probably a two year deal at top
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: of the market running back contract that that can get
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: it done. I I would agree with you.
• 22:46
  Speaker 10: I think they need to be pretty aggressive in retaining
• 22:49
  Speaker 10: Walker and and and I think that I think there's
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: room to do that because you haven't seen you haven't
• 22:57
  Speaker 10: seen running backs break the bank.
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: Derrick Henry was one of the one of the examples recently.
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: But Derrick Henry is a.
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: He was going to have a different market than ken
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: Walker is going to command, So I expect Seattle to
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: be aggressive and trying to keep him.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Daniel Neil joining us much by now Northwest Handling Systems.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Danny uh, Are you believing everything you're hearing out of
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: the combine?
• 23:20
  Speaker 8: No?
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: No, no.
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: As a matter of fact, I pretty much believe nothing
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: that I hear this.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Week, nothing at all. And what, Denny, is there a
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: precedent for that for some reason? Is that what you're
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: telling me?
• 23:34
  Speaker 8: For sure?
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: Four years ago, Pete Carroll vast and we have no
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: intention of trading our quarterback.
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: In six days later, Adam Schefter broke the news.
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: Yes, and last year John Schneider said, hey, we really
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: expect you know, Smith to be the guy. And in
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: John's defense, I think that that that they had laid
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: out a plan where that was going to happen.
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: They had made an offer.
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: Or in the process and make it offer to Gino
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: Smith who hope to keep him, and Gino didn't like
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: the offer and never really responded to it, and from
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: there it changed. But the really unique thing about the
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: Scouting Combine and why it is the weirdest quote unquote
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: event to cover, is that every coach and every GM
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: pretty much except for the Rams who are too cool
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: for school and.
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: Decide like, oh, we're not going to go there.
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: And now the Jaguars, who have a former RAMS executive
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: is their GM, We're like.
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: No, we're not either. We're gonna be so cool.
• 24:29
  Speaker 11: All the coaches and gms are there and they answer
• 24:32
  Speaker 11: questions and they get asked about the pressing pertinent things
• 24:37
  Speaker 11: that are there, and the answers that they give.
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: Aren't worth the paper that they're reprinted on.
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: And example, John Spytech was asked about Max Crosby. He's like, yeah,
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: we fully expect him to be back That absolutely gives
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: me zero indication of whether or not I expect Max
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: Crosby to potentially move.
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: It does absolutely nothing, which is a strange thing.
• 25:01
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: The guy you want to ask, John Spytech is on
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: stage and the entire NFL is there, and he's staying
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: something and my reactions is like, yeah, it doesn't tell
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: me anything.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Zero zip and zilch along the way. All right, let
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: me let me throw this one at you real quick.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: And this is a little more random, but we have
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: our My buddy Gary Parrish is jumping on it at
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: two o'clock today with us talking college basketball. I love Gary,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: love having them on I this is and I'm gonna
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: let me preface this by saying, misery likes company. Okay,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: misery likes company. I just did a podcast with a
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: young guy that's doing a new podcast for WASE. Really
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: good shout out to Luke. And I did it today
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: and at the end we got to Washington State basketball.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: And and I've done this for a long time. Danny,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: I've listened to you, You've listened to me. Jess has
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: worked with both of us. I'm not a big call
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: for someone's job guy at all. Never I do think
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Washington State and needs to make a move with their coach.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I think David Riley has to go.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: It's just he's only you have not been shy about
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: that opinion.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: He's just over his skis. He's just over his skis.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: And they're going into a conference next year that's gonna
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: be a really good basketball conference. Arguably, it'll be the
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: best basketball conference not named, not a Power four, not
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the SEC, Big twelve, Big Ten, acc This might be
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: the next best conference, maybe even depending on the Big
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: East right up there with it. He's not good. That
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: being said, misery loves company. Good news is for Washington
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: your team, your school. Danny Sprinkle's Danny Sprinkle's second year.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: There has been a little bit of improvement from the
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: one of our favorite years, the Great os War year. Yep,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: million dollars to finish eighteenth out of eighteen. Right now,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: they're projected to be a twelve seed, maybe at worse
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: a thirteen, maybe at best an eleven. That means they
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: get a play on March eleventh in the eight team
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: team Big Ten Tournament, Danny, which in itself is a
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: stupid thing, but thoughts on where your basketball program is
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: right now?
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: I cackled uproariously when I read headline earlier this week
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: or maybe yeah, I think it was earlier this week.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: I think I know you're going.
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: About the importance of Washington's victory over Rutgers.
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: Yes, in their posts positioning.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, sir, yes sir, yes.
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: Yes, like I don't know if I've ever seen a
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: harder grasp of straw in my entire life.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I give Percy credit, man, I give Percy credit. He's
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: been on the bandwagons even after they've had bad losses.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Percy's been Next game is a big one. They got
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: a chance, they got a They're six and eleven in
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: conference play, buddy, they're twelveth in the conference or tied
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: with Minnesota. Come on, let's let's say beat a four
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: and thirteen Rutgers team. Let's go.
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: The commitment to following each quarter turn of the screw
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: on this sinking ship has been impressive.
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: Yeah, very very like I.
• 28:01
  Speaker 8: Want to compliment the professionalist.
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: The second thing is this isn't Danny Sprinkle's fault. The
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: fact of the matter is that the basketball program at
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: the school that I attended, for whatever reason, it is
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: a death sentence when you get one and done talent.
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: There is no sure way to make sure that you
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: will miss the playoffs or the tournament, or be irrelevant,
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: that you are guaranteed disappointment. And you sign a player
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: who is going to be in the NBA next year.
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: Steinbach is averaging eighteen and.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Eleven stud Stutch, I got this big and they're.
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: Playing in the Big Ten, where what you're supposed to
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: need is big guys.
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: That's what you're supposed to have.
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: He's a big guy. He averages a double double eight
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: to eleven, and.
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: They stink this isn't Danny Sprinkle's fault because this existed
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: when Hopkins was here, this existed when Romar was here.
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: I have no explanation for the fact that there is
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: no surer way to frigger away a basketball season than
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: to get a guy who's making a one year stopover
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: before he goes to the NBA. And that has been
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: proven yet again. And look, I don't even I just accept.
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: I'm almost to the point of you know, when you
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: talk about replacement level, like when they talk about like
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: a replacement level player, ye, And the whole idea of
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: replacement level is the cheapest guy, the guy that you
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: could find off the street a replacement level There's fifteen
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: of these guys waiting in TRIPAA that you could just
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: go and sign and put it.

  Speaker 7: University of Washington. Put no resources into it, a lot
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: all the resources to football, because no matter how many.
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: Resources we put into basketball.
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: It just it ends up being the same crap no

  Speaker 1: Kuahanta Caboda for bringing us a daily power play. But
• 31:14

• 31:23
  Speaker 1: home of the sale torent. That would be a PWHL game.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: My friend Alison Lukekemp, our great analyst on the Krack
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: and Hockey Network, joins me right now in the Beacon
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Plumping hotline. Why because she missed me. She had not
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: seen me since last night. She had not seen me
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: since last night at eight pm. And she said, Man,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: I miss Ian. Really, I'm not going to see him
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: on Friday. I can't wait till Saturday. So she said,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Ian connect. No, she didn't say that. I grobbled and
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: this at Alice can come on because she's doing wait
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: for four games in four days, three Kraken and a
• 31:53

• 31:55
  Speaker 1: That game's on Fox thirteen, plus the former Joe TV
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: as a crack and come Home and Alison when they do.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: There is going to be a full house tonight at
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Climate Pledge Arena, and I do believe quite a bit
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: of hardware brought into that building tonight as well. How
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: are you.
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: Well?
• 32:12
  Speaker 13: You know, it's true, I did miss you, and I
• 32:14
  Speaker 13: don't know what to do when there's more than two hours,
• 32:16
  Speaker 13: but I don't hear from you or form. But no, tonight,
• 32:21
  Speaker 13: Tonight's going to be awesome. I couldn't be more thrilled
• 32:24
  Speaker 13: to be back with the women's side, coming back to
• 32:27
  Speaker 13: Climate Pledge, and I think it's going to be a
• 32:29
  Speaker 13: great night for a couple of reasons. As you mentioned
• 32:32
  Speaker 13: the celebrating Olympians on both sides. You know, Toronto comes
• 32:36
  Speaker 13: in with the largest number of players that were on
• 32:38
  Speaker 13: Team Canada and the person who was the head coach
• 32:41
  Speaker 13: for Team Canada, Troy Ryan behind the Sceptors bench, so
• 32:45
  Speaker 13: a lot of celebration may be some intentional burying of
• 32:48
  Speaker 13: hatchets so that as the game gets underway. But but
• 32:51
  Speaker 13: you know, most importantly, these are two teams Seattle in particular,
• 32:55
  Speaker 13: that had some high expectations for this season, and they're
• 32:58
  Speaker 13: not where they want to be in the standings by
• 33:00
  Speaker 13: any means. So above and beyond all of the celebration
• 33:04
  Speaker 13: and all of the awesomeness and what I truly expect
• 33:07
  Speaker 13: to be a fully packed building, that there are three
• 33:09
  Speaker 13: very important standings points up for grabs.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I mentioned this to Mark and our cross talk segment
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: before I started my show today. We were kind of
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: briefly discussing it yesterday while we were trying not to
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: see what was going on in Saint Louis. The fact is,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: we get we're on the same emails with the crack
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: in and climate Pledgerina, so we see, you know, how
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: they're staffing a building and all this, and I feel
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: like I've seen like a dozen emails this week saying okay, change,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: here's what's coming up. We're opening this. Everything's open all concession. Oh,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: by the way, it has the potential to set some
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: records tonight. What are those records that tonight has the
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: potential to set.
• 33:46
  Speaker 13: Yeah, well, you know, there's there are shirts that you
• 33:49
  Speaker 13: can buy that everyone should have that say everybody watches
• 33:51
  Speaker 13: women's sports, and you know, the home opener for the
• 33:54
  Speaker 13: Seattle Torrent back at the end of November brought the
• 33:58
  Speaker 13: largest US crowd to watch to women's hockey game, with
• 34:01
  Speaker 13: just over sixteen thousand people. It was a great turn
• 34:04
  Speaker 13: of events that in the takeover Tour game, so the
• 34:06
  Speaker 13: PWHL goes around to cities that don't yet have a team,
• 34:09
  Speaker 13: much like they did a couple of years ago when
• 34:12
  Speaker 13: they came here to Seattle. They were in DC at
• 34:14
  Speaker 13: Capitol One Arena and they set a new record of
• 34:16
  Speaker 13: seventeen thousand, two hundred and twenty eight people. So if
• 34:20
  Speaker 13: Climate Pledge gets to capacity, that's a number bigger than
• 34:23
  Speaker 13: seventeen thousand, two hundred and twenty eight. That's what we're
• 34:26
  Speaker 13: hoping for.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: It's going to be fan what a great atmosphere too.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: You know, we talked so much a lot of us
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: talk about the men's game and what it could do
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: for the National Hockey League and all of that, and
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: that's all nice to find, but for the women as well,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: I think this is to me, this Allison proves that
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: what we just witnessed in Milan, Italy with this great
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: US team that was massively dominant, but then had to
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: fight for their very lives and get to the and
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: go to overtime to win a gold medal against a
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: team they handled easily. That the game itself drew a
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: lot of eyeballs, a lot of new fans, and a
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: lot of people who appreciate the game. Everyone knows Hillary Knight,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Captain America, leading scorer in US hockey history in the
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Olympics with fifteen goals thirty three points. Tell people some
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: other fans or some fans, some other people they should know,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: including like a Hannah or Hannah Bilka, a Caleb Barnes,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Alex Carpenter and even as silver medalist and Julia Gosling.
• 35:21
  Speaker 13: Yeah, you know what's this is, just like expansion in
• 35:24
  Speaker 13: any sport, is that with more and more teams comes
• 35:27
  Speaker 13: more and more opportunity for players. And you know you
• 35:30
  Speaker 13: mentioned Julia Gosling. This is a player who is just
• 35:33
  Speaker 13: getting more opportunity. She comes away as one of the
• 35:37
  Speaker 13: top point earners four team Canada in the Olympics, and
• 35:40
  Speaker 13: she is leading the torrent in points and in goals.
• 35:44
  Speaker 13: She's just been outstanding. They actually started her on a
• 35:48
  Speaker 13: line with Alex Carpenter who in my mind does not
• 35:50
  Speaker 13: get enough appreciation for how effective she is at the
• 35:53
  Speaker 13: center position. And Hillary Knight and coach Steve o Worked
• 35:57
  Speaker 13: told us after the fact that was to kind of
• 35:59
  Speaker 13: give Julia that confidence so that then she could start
• 36:02
  Speaker 13: to anchor a line on her own. And she's really
• 36:04
  Speaker 13: blossomed there. Hannah Bilka, you mentioned this is another great
• 36:07
  Speaker 13: player played at Ohio State University, a wonderful women's program there,
• 36:11
  Speaker 13: and she is coming in as kind of the next
• 36:14
  Speaker 13: generation of players as well. This is part of the
• 36:17
  Speaker 13: youth movement that made that team USA so special and
• 36:20
  Speaker 13: different and is really challenging the way these national programs
• 36:24
  Speaker 13: look at how they build wave upon wave for the future.
• 36:26
  Speaker 13: And you know, then another player who's still kind of
• 36:29
  Speaker 13: coming into her own, who hasn't seen a ton of
• 36:31
  Speaker 13: ice time. She's had some injuries to start her rookie season,
• 36:34
  Speaker 13: but is the Torrent's first overall draft pick in Jenna
• 36:37
  Speaker 13: BOUGLIONI sorry to inform you another buck Eye, but she's
• 36:40
  Speaker 13: excellent and she's just really tenacious. I love her on
• 36:44
  Speaker 13: the back end. Kayleb Barnes, a defender who is not
• 36:47
  Speaker 13: really a defender. She does all things she's roving all
• 36:50
  Speaker 13: over the ice. She's an integral part of when this
• 36:52
  Speaker 13: team is clicking. So just so much excitement to look at.
• 36:55
  Speaker 13: I recommend people go, there's going to be a player
• 36:58
  Speaker 13: that pops for you. There's going to be a player
• 36:59
  Speaker 13: you notice. And I guarantee that's for very good reasons,
• 37:03
  Speaker 13: because there's a lot of talent on this group.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Is Cayle going to be with us tomorrow? She coming
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: on our pregame show?
• 37:08
  Speaker 13: Not tomorrow next week?
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Oh next week? Okay, okay, okay, okay. I was I
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: just I didn't know if I had brush and goodness, well,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: first of all, I didn't get the memos a surprise.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Second of all, honestly, honestly, throughout the Olympics, I was like,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to talk to her, honestly, like we
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: had we had a chance to meet Hillary last year before.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: I think it was right after they had awarded the franchise,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: right or right around there, No, you know what, maybe
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: when it was it was right before, and I just
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: remember thinking to myself and I'll just I'll end it
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: with this with Hillary. I in what's been a challenging week,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: uh for for a lot of reasons, and in a
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: frustrating week and all the other you know, things that
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: we can talk about. I thought, and I played the
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: sound yesterday from Hillary Night and how she handled herself
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: throughout the Olympics, how she handled herself this week, how
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: she handled herself in the press conference, and congratulations on
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: her engagement as well, which is a really cool moment
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: over in Milan. I think, and I mentioned this on
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: my show yesterday, Alison, I think Seattle's really lucky to
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: have Hillary Knight because only one PWHL team's going to
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: have somebody come back to action named Captain America and
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: have that player playing for their home team at Seattle.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: So good for us. But that to me, listening to
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: her and watching her and just even talking to her
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: briefly last year, to me, Allison, that's what leadership is.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: It's defined by who Hillary Knight is.
• 38:33
  Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, I actually I have a podcast separate
• 38:36
  Speaker 13: from my game jobs, and we talked about this quite
• 38:38
  Speaker 13: a bit there too. Is that you know, for so
• 38:41
  Speaker 13: long I've admired Hillary and what she does on the ice,
• 38:44
  Speaker 13: and you know, perhaps bad on me that I was
• 38:46
  Speaker 13: hyper focused on her performance as an athlete, and I
• 38:49
  Speaker 13: think seeing what she's done. You know, I've shared this
• 38:53
  Speaker 13: with a couple of people. You watch her around Cracking
• 38:56
  Speaker 13: Community ice Plex where the Torrent practice, and you see
• 38:58
  Speaker 13: the young players kind of following after her, and you
• 39:02
  Speaker 13: see some of the more you know, candid content that
• 39:04
  Speaker 13: came from this year's Olympics, and you can see what
• 39:07
  Speaker 13: a leader she truly is. And she leads with a
• 39:11
  Speaker 13: really beautiful touch that is strong, but I think very caring,
• 39:15
  Speaker 13: and you know, when I look at you know, some
• 39:17
  Speaker 13: of the crap, quite frankly, that she has had to
• 39:19
  Speaker 13: deal with, and that many who don't get a rightful
• 39:23
  Speaker 13: spotlight for the accomplishments that they achieve and for the
• 39:26
  Speaker 13: work that goes into what they do. I really have
• 39:29
  Speaker 13: spent a lot of time thinking about how do you
• 39:32
  Speaker 13: process that? How do you process you know what you
• 39:35
  Speaker 13: just went through. You went through your currently self proclaimed
• 39:38
  Speaker 13: last Olympic Games. You know, you've had five medals. You're
• 39:42
  Speaker 13: one of just four players across the US men or
• 39:46
  Speaker 13: women to have five medals. All four of those are women,
• 39:49
  Speaker 13: by the way. But you've just done that, You've achieved
• 39:53
  Speaker 13: your goal. You've helped start two new franchises in the PWHL.
• 39:57
  Speaker 13: You get engaged. You're trying to manage coming back across
• 40:01
  Speaker 13: time zones, everything from emotional to physical to mental, and
• 40:05
  Speaker 13: to have the fortitude and the presence of mind to
• 40:07
  Speaker 13: process all of that, to handle it with grace, and
• 40:11
  Speaker 13: to think about the message that is most important, which
• 40:14
  Speaker 13: is the message should be looking at the accomplishments of
• 40:18
  Speaker 13: this team, by her proclamation, the best US hockey team assembled,
• 40:22
  Speaker 13: and to celebrate that and to make sure that those
• 40:24
  Speaker 13: opportunities and that recognition only increases. It's mind blowing to
• 40:29
  Speaker 13: me to get there that fast and with that must
• 40:31
  Speaker 13: much composure. We truly, I don't think we knew. We
• 40:36
  Speaker 13: learn more and more every day. We truly are lucky
• 40:38
  Speaker 13: to have Hillary Night as part of the Seattle sports
• 40:40
  Speaker 13: community and the Seattle community in general.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Have a great call in the game tonight. Save your
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: voice a little bit for tomorrow. We have another game,
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: somewhat important game for this We have a somewhat important
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: game for the local NHL team tomorrow. But enjoy the
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: night tonight. It's going to be special, It'll be memorable,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: and I know you'll have a great call on Fox thirteen.

• 41:45
  Speaker 1: get him through waivers, get him down to Coachella Valley
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: to get some games in. Instead of the New York
• 41:50

  Speaker 1: Gary Parrish, It's time for our weekly look at college
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: basketball with CBS Sports Insider and Gary Perrish, Brought to
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: you by No. Lie Brewing, the family owned, fully independent brewery,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: born and raised in Spokane. From the brew house to
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: your house, everyone's invited. Look for no Lie in your
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: local grocery stories. Now with Gary Perrish, here's the in forness, Gary,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you that music is playing in the
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: background as as soon as Andrews hit the button and
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: push play and he hears that the greatest them in sports?
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: What do you do, Andrews? What'd you do? Big? Massive fifts,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: massive fifths pump? It is almost March?
• 43:36
  Speaker 8: How are you?
• 43:38
  Speaker 9: I'm wonderful and I love that music like everybody else does.
• 43:41
  Speaker 9: I have given up a musical control of the.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: I on College Bathroab.
• 43:45
  Speaker 9: I've noticed that here's a go to Matt and so
• 43:48
  Speaker 9: Norlander decided to make a rule where he doesn't like
• 43:51
  Speaker 9: to use that theme music until it's actually March. The
• 43:55
  Speaker 9: other eleven months just gets some random you know whatever,
• 43:58
  Speaker 9: and so it is. I don't I disagree with his approach,
• 44:02
  Speaker 9: but it does make that first Mark episode sound bigger
• 44:06
  Speaker 9: every time we do it because we get to hear
• 44:07
  Speaker 9: that music.
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: You know, is when people play Christmas music before Thanksgiving.
• 44:14
  Speaker 9: I think it's more that's more or less his sentiment
• 44:18
  Speaker 9: like that is marked madness music. I don't want to
• 44:20
  Speaker 9: hear it in November. I like hearing it whenever. But
• 44:24
  Speaker 9: you know again, I can't control everything, so I'll let
• 44:28
  Speaker 9: him have that.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Well, it's it. I love it. It's that time of
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: the year. Everyone gets fired up. We we missed last week.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: I was on vacation, but we had Gary on a
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: couple weeks ago, kind of through. There's a ton of
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: things to get to in a second. And by the way,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: as I quickly glanced here at my calendar, I believe
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: there's a is it a Sunday episode will come out
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: of I on college basketball and we'll have that music
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: playing for the first time, and I think it's elongated version.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Does he do a big open for that?
• 44:51
  Speaker 9: He typically does. I think we'll have to see how
• 44:53
  Speaker 9: busy he is heading into this mark he can get
• 44:56
  Speaker 9: that together. He has put together. He really does, And
• 44:59
  Speaker 9: that's sort of why I've turned over control of it,
• 45:01
  Speaker 9: because he will take it and have fun with it
• 45:03
  Speaker 9: and produce things with it, and so that's his little baby.
• 45:06
  Speaker 9: Typically he does a big blowout from March. We'll see
• 45:09
  Speaker 9: what we have in store on Sunday.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: I can't wait real quick. With Washington. I just mentioned
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: them a second ago and they're sitting in twelfth place
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: in the Big Ten. Weird the Big Ten? Is this
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: the first year they've gone back to like an eighteen
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: team tournament? What are we doing there with a Big Ten?
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: My question as a Cougar fan that left us on
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: the side of the road is always what do we
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: do in Big ten? But what the hell is a
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Big ten doing with an eighteen team tournament.
• 45:32
  Speaker 9: It's one of those things where they make the argument
• 45:36
  Speaker 9: that if we're going to go to these jumbo leagues,
• 45:38
  Speaker 9: we don't need to be robbing people of the opportunity
• 45:41
  Speaker 9: to participate in a conference tournament. You are quite literally
• 45:44
  Speaker 9: taking something away from student athletes that they have historically
• 45:48
  Speaker 9: had and not giving it to the mini moore. And
• 45:51
  Speaker 9: so not every league does this, like the American Conference,
• 45:54
  Speaker 9: which I'm familiar with, hey because I cover college basketball,
• 45:57
  Speaker 9: but be because my alma mater is in that they
• 45:59
  Speaker 9: only take ten teams to the conference tournament. You can
• 46:01
  Speaker 9: miss it. So not every league subscribes to this, but
• 46:04
  Speaker 9: that is the Big Tens at least publicly stated explanation.
• 46:09
  Speaker 9: We don't want to leave people at home. We want
• 46:11
  Speaker 9: all Big ten members to be here to experience this event.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, that makes Washington sitting at twelfth right now, and
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: there'll be somewhere and maybe at best eleventh. So they're
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: going to play like on Tuesday, right, they'd be like Tuesday,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: I think it is when it's all said and done,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: and then there's like usually about forty or fifty people
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: in the stands for those games before we get to
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: the real teams show up in what's a great conference
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: this year? Gary, let me just talk about a couple
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: of the things that happened this week, and then we'll
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: kind of look around the rest of college basketball, look
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: ahead of the weekend, kind of getting people primed up.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: As we're getting I see Andrews popping his Fisher's, other
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: people going oh yeah, I can get my bracket get
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: and going I gotta start looking at this stuff. What
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: in the world happened to Yukon and Saint John's the
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: other day? I thought Saint John's was a good basketball team, Gary,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: what happened in that game?
• 46:58
  Speaker 9: They had been performing like a good Beast ketball team
• 47:00
  Speaker 9: for a stretch, you know, performing at bart toorbick dot
• 47:04
  Speaker 9: Com like a top ten team in the country. They
• 47:07
  Speaker 9: had won thirteen games in a row, including a game
• 47:10
  Speaker 9: against Yukon at Madison Square Guarden a few weeks ago.
• 47:13
  Speaker 9: So something honest, I didn't think Saint John's was going
• 47:16
  Speaker 9: to go to Hartford and beat Yukon and sweep the
• 47:19
  Speaker 9: regular season series. But I also didn't expect them to
• 47:21
  Speaker 9: lose by thirty two. I mean to score forty points
• 47:24
  Speaker 9: just below twenty percent from the field at the end
• 47:27
  Speaker 9: of the first half. They had a o of twelve
• 47:29
  Speaker 9: stretch from the field, and then they closed the game
• 47:31
  Speaker 9: with twenty four misshots in a row. Like my little
• 47:35
  Speaker 9: guy plays nine year old basketball. It's not the most structured.
• 47:39
  Speaker 9: They're not the best shot makers. But even then, you're
• 47:41
  Speaker 9: surprised if a team misses twenty four in a row.
• 47:44
  Speaker 9: And this is a you know, fifteen million dollar basketball
• 47:47
  Speaker 9: team coach by a Hall of Famer. I think you
• 47:49
  Speaker 9: could play that game one hundred times again and it
• 47:52
  Speaker 9: would never unfold exactly like that. It just it turned
• 47:55
  Speaker 9: on Saint John's quickly and they never recovered. I thought
• 47:58
  Speaker 9: it was an interesting quote from rich Patino. He said afterwards,
• 48:01
  Speaker 9: I've been doing this a long time, which we all know,
• 48:03
  Speaker 9: and I think this has only happened to me maybe
• 48:05
  Speaker 9: once any reference to game when he was maybe in
• 48:08
  Speaker 9: his first year at Kentucky. But that's how glaring of
• 48:11
  Speaker 9: a just whooping that was for Rick Patino and for
• 48:15
  Speaker 9: Saint John's it stood out to him, and the man
• 48:18
  Speaker 9: who's coached a million games, it stood out to him
• 48:20
  Speaker 9: as something that he is very rarely experienced.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: That I mean that was. Does it change your thoughts
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: on Saint John's at all? It changes No.
• 48:31
  Speaker 9: It does make me sort of back up a little
• 48:33
  Speaker 9: bit and go, Okay, the thirteen game winning street was nice,
• 48:36
  Speaker 9: but what did they really do in that stretch besides
• 48:40
  Speaker 9: beat Yukon at Madison Square Garden in front of an
• 48:43
  Speaker 9: incredible crowd. That building helped them get that win. It
• 48:47
  Speaker 9: makes me say, is Saint John's still good? Yeah? Good?
• 48:52
  Speaker 9: But maybe we need to back off of the in
• 48:55
  Speaker 9: maybe this team has turned around and can compete for
• 48:57
  Speaker 9: the national championship. Now it looks like asked they might
• 49:01
  Speaker 9: win a couple of games in the tournament, but they
• 49:02
  Speaker 9: don't seem equipped for a variety of reasons to actually
• 49:06
  Speaker 9: compete for the thing that it looks like Yukon can
• 49:08
  Speaker 9: compete for and that's the national championship.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: Because they've got former coup deon Darling whatever his name is,
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: is the Dylan point guard. Yeah, I could, he could.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Although he's helped them, right, he's played all right for them.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: He has helped them.
• 49:19
  Speaker 9: He has helped them, He has been good. But the
• 49:23
  Speaker 9: idea that they had to turn to him, he is
• 49:26
  Speaker 9: their biggest problem. Like that, that's that's the issue. Like
• 49:29
  Speaker 9: if you ever get to a point at Saint John's
• 49:31
  Speaker 9: where you're trying to figure out if Dylan Darling could
• 49:33
  Speaker 9: be the missing piece, you've already missed, You've already messed
• 49:36
  Speaker 9: up your roster. And that's the truth. They just did.
• 49:38
  Speaker 9: They did not sign a real, proven high major point guard.
• 49:45
  Speaker 9: They signed multiple combo guards who had produced at the
• 49:48
  Speaker 9: high major level, and Dylan Darling and Rick thought that
• 49:52
  Speaker 9: one of those combo guards could you know, play the
• 49:55
  Speaker 9: role of lead guard, because that happened to the NBA
• 49:57
  Speaker 9: a lot, but college basketball woul a few exceptions. You
• 50:00
  Speaker 9: still need a traditional point guard. And at the high
• 50:04
  Speaker 9: major level, if you're trying to compete for the stuff
• 50:06
  Speaker 9: that you know you should be competing for, you need.
• 50:10
  Speaker 9: It's somebody I say this as respectfully as I can
• 50:12
  Speaker 9: say it a little more naturally gifted than Dylan Darley.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he couldn't get on the four when
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Wazu was good two years ago. So so all right,
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: Gary Perry Jorning's churtsy had no live brewing the NC
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Double A. For folks who missed it, they do it.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: I think they kind of. They don't do a lot
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: of things. Well, we all know that that's that's part
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: of being the n C DOUBLEA. But one of the
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: things I do like how they do it, and they
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: just do it the one time, right when they do
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: the bracket reveal for the top sixteen seeds one through four, right,
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: unlike the pay per view made for TV event that
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: ESPN does every week during the college football Playoff, which
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: sends people sideways. They did that last week. Michigan, Duke, Arizona,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: Iowa State were the one seeds, and Gary, I believe,
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: here we are six days later, seven days later, five
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: days later, and that's already changed.
• 50:56
  Speaker 9: Right. Depending on what bracket you look at, you could
• 51:00
  Speaker 9: still make a case for Iowa State as the fourth
• 51:03
  Speaker 9: number one. Others might make the argument for Yukon, but
• 51:08
  Speaker 9: you kind has, I mean a Iowa state since that
• 51:11
  Speaker 9: bracket preview show has lost a game. So that's where
• 51:13
  Speaker 9: you might get some shifting around a little bit. But
• 51:16
  Speaker 9: the truth is, we got a pretty good number of
• 51:20
  Speaker 9: these things now. And what history has showed us is
• 51:22
  Speaker 9: that the number one seeds might change before selection Sunday,
• 51:27
  Speaker 9: but they usually don't. I mean, you might get one
• 51:29
  Speaker 9: different one, but three of the four, that's the average.
• 51:32
  Speaker 9: On average, you're gonna get about three of the four
• 51:34
  Speaker 9: stay the same. And so I would assume at this
• 51:36
  Speaker 9: point those three Michigan, Duke, Arizona, I'd be surprised if
• 51:40
  Speaker 9: any of them aren't one seeds because they've sort of
• 51:42
  Speaker 9: separated from the pack. In other words, Duke could lose
• 51:45
  Speaker 9: a game and still reasonably have the best resume in
• 51:47
  Speaker 9: the country. Arizona could lose a game and still reasonably
• 51:51
  Speaker 9: have a top four resume in the country. So they've
• 51:54
  Speaker 9: created a little space. And so it's gonna be these
• 51:57
  Speaker 9: those three and then we're playing for the fourth number
• 51:59
  Speaker 9: one on. Iowa States still involved, Yukon still involved, the
• 52:03
  Speaker 9: Zags are involved. They if they were to win out.
• 52:06
  Speaker 9: But I tell you that bracket preview show, and I
• 52:09
  Speaker 9: agree with you. I think it is. It's worth doing,
• 52:12
  Speaker 9: but it would not be worth doing every week. No
• 52:14
  Speaker 9: way to do it in football, it gets It's problematic
• 52:17
  Speaker 9: for a lot of different reasons, but I love it
• 52:19
  Speaker 9: the Bracket Preview show, and here's why, for totally selfish reasons.
• 52:23
  Speaker 9: As you know, every morning during the season, I ranked
• 52:25
  Speaker 9: twenty six basketball teams and then I tweet the link
• 52:27
  Speaker 9: to it, and every morning you are called every name
• 52:29
  Speaker 9: you could possibly imagine, baldy, an idiot. You know, you
• 52:35
  Speaker 9: think of what people might think of when they look
• 52:37
  Speaker 9: at me, ball headed, and that's the thing that they
• 52:39
  Speaker 9: say to you, stupid, you don't know what you're doing,
• 52:42
  Speaker 9: over and over again. And then we'll get to the
• 52:44
  Speaker 9: bracket preview show and the committee they get they say, hey,
• 52:48
  Speaker 9: here's where we're at, and it matches the top twenty
• 52:51
  Speaker 9: five and one almost exactly. I had fifteen of the
• 52:54
  Speaker 9: sixteen that were in the Braket preview in the top
• 52:57
  Speaker 9: sixteen of the top twenty five and one. Last Saturday morning,
• 52:59
  Speaker 9: my only miss with Texas Tech, and I took them
• 53:02
  Speaker 9: out because of the injury to J. T.
• 53:03
  Speaker 8: Poppin.
• 53:04
  Speaker 9: I put in Saint John's. This was before the yukon't game.
• 53:06
  Speaker 9: I had all four number one seeds right. I had
• 53:09
  Speaker 9: three of the two seeds right, three of the three
• 53:11
  Speaker 9: seeds right, three of the four seeds right. And so
• 53:13
  Speaker 9: it's a good day for me typically because it at
• 53:16
  Speaker 9: least allows me for a moment to say, Hey, maybe
• 53:19
  Speaker 9: I'm not as stupid or dumb as you guys tell
• 53:22
  Speaker 9: me every morning on Twitter. Look, I basically just told
• 53:25
  Speaker 9: you what the committee was going to tell you before
• 53:27
  Speaker 9: they even told you. So I love that show. I
• 53:29
  Speaker 9: can't wait for next year.
• 53:30
  Speaker 8: Gary.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: If you want to feel bet, I'll have Jess and
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: Anderson you some of the text from my show yesterday.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: They'll feels.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: We talked about the US hockey team. Then more importantly,
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: the call afterwards, and I'll just leave it at that.
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: I'll send you so you'll feel you'll feel much better
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: about yourself. Trust me, Gary Parrish joining this spot. You
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: have no live brewing. So I'm watching or what my
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: son and I are watching Duke in Michigan last week
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: and just enthralled with it, just enamored with that game,
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: and I was thinking, I just felt like Ben Michigan,
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: they might just roll through the rest of the year. Oh,
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: here's a non conference game in Washington, d C. Against Duke.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: First of all, felt like I was watching a Final
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: Four game, maybe even a Monday game, like the Monday Game.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Second of all, I don't think Michigan. Michigan was right
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: there and Cadell couldn't score, and I'm thinking, Okay, that's
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: probably a good sign. They lose a game, it doesn't
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: really change things. As you said, there's still a one seed.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: How good are the Wolverines.
• 54:23
  Speaker 9: Very like obviously good enough to win the whole thing.
• 54:26
  Speaker 9: And that's a storyline in the Big Ten because, as
• 54:29
  Speaker 9: you know, they hadn't had a national champion since two
• 54:31
  Speaker 9: thousand and every year I go to Big Ten Media Day,
• 54:34
  Speaker 9: and every year that comes up and there's Tom Izzo
• 54:37
  Speaker 9: and Matt Painter having an answer questions about when are
• 54:39
  Speaker 9: one of you guys gonna get one to break this street.
• 54:41
  Speaker 9: The good news for the Big Ten is Michigan is
• 54:43
  Speaker 9: good enough to do it. By any measuring stick. That
• 54:46
  Speaker 9: team checks every box. Do you have a competent coach,
• 54:49
  Speaker 9: do you have experience, roster, continuity, NBA talent? They check
• 54:52
  Speaker 9: all the boxes. But Illinois can also win the national
• 54:56
  Speaker 9: championship by any way you slice it up. If you
• 54:59
  Speaker 9: look at the data that is important to actually win
• 55:03
  Speaker 9: six games in the bracket, then Illinois checks that box
• 55:06
  Speaker 9: as well. Michigan State could maybe get there. Nebraska is
• 55:09
  Speaker 9: one of the great stories. And so the Big Ten,
• 55:13
  Speaker 9: you could reasonably argue is the deepest league in the country,
• 55:17
  Speaker 9: has just as many national title contenders legitimate ones as
• 55:20
  Speaker 9: anybody in the country. But the best of the bunch,
• 55:22
  Speaker 9: I think that is the Michigan Wolverines. Dusty may you
• 55:25
  Speaker 9: know they were very intentional last year when that transfer
• 55:28
  Speaker 9: portal opened. They're one of the schools with the general manager.
• 55:31
  Speaker 9: They had money ready to spend and the clear plan
• 55:34
  Speaker 9: about who they were targeting and how they were going
• 55:37
  Speaker 9: to get it done, and they just they knocked it
• 55:40
  Speaker 9: out of a park. Out of the park. This is
• 55:42
  Speaker 9: the air in college basketball where a lot of prominent
• 55:45
  Speaker 9: programs are having to rebuild in one off season through
• 55:48
  Speaker 9: the transfer portal, and a lot of coaches are not
• 55:51
  Speaker 9: doing well with that. The programs have slipped. But Dusty
• 55:54
  Speaker 9: absolutely knock this one out of the park. And if
• 55:56
  Speaker 9: somebody wants to say he's got the best team in
• 55:58
  Speaker 9: the country, even though it took a law lesson weekend.
• 56:00
  Speaker 9: I won't argue with them, because there are days when
• 56:02
  Speaker 9: that absolutely looks like the best team in the country.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about Duke down the road. They were crazy impressive.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, I frontline wise, matching Michigan on the front line.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: I didn't think that would be possible. And then of
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: course you're going to talk about front lines. Just a
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: little team called Florida that's got a big game this
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: weekend too. They're okay again, former cooch Chinilu. Okay, the
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: game tonight. I got one more question bigger Pitcher College.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: Before we go, let me just ask you. Great weekend.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: It starts tonight, Michigan. We just talked about them. Number
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: three Illinois, number ten. That's on your local Fox stations people,
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: that's Channel thirteen here in our area with my friend
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: Aaron Levine and company Gary Friday night basketball, Michigan, Illinois.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: I know this. We don't get those games in college football,
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: the Friday night games in college football. That would be
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: Rutgers in and Perdue, right and not Purdue basketball. So
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: tell me about this game tonight.
• 56:52
  Speaker 9: Well, okay, so based on the eight people, I think
• 56:54
  Speaker 9: it's number three versus number ten. But if you go
• 56:56
  Speaker 9: to kimpom, it's number two versus number four. According to Kimpom,
• 57:00
  Speaker 9: are two of the best four teams in the country
• 57:02
  Speaker 9: playing tonight. And I do think it matters that it's
• 57:05
  Speaker 9: on Friday night on primetime. Friday night forever used to
• 57:09
  Speaker 9: be as it pertained to college basketball, mid major stuff,
• 57:12
  Speaker 9: Ivy League stuff, that's it. Friday night was the night
• 57:15
  Speaker 9: I'd tell my wife, Hey, if we're going to dinner
• 57:17
  Speaker 9: this weekend, this is the night we got to do
• 57:18
  Speaker 9: it because on Saturday night there's going to be stuff.
• 57:20
  Speaker 9: I got to pay attention to Fox, which is now
• 57:23
  Speaker 9: run Fox Sports by a guy named Jordan Bejon. He
• 57:26
  Speaker 9: used to be an agent representing coaches and Fox hired
• 57:30
  Speaker 9: him and he's just got big ideas about how to
• 57:33
  Speaker 9: create bigger stages for the sport. He really values men's basketball,
• 57:37
  Speaker 9: and he came up with the idea, well, we have
• 57:40
  Speaker 9: access through our media right steals, to Big Ten programs,
• 57:44
  Speaker 9: to Big East programs, So why don't we try to
• 57:47
  Speaker 9: create good games every Friday night on Fox and see
• 57:52
  Speaker 9: what kind of numbers they'll do. And it's been yukon
• 57:55
  Speaker 9: Saint John's one Friday. Here's Illinois Michigan. I mean, it's
• 57:59
  Speaker 9: just been big games and every Friday night. I'm now
• 58:02
  Speaker 9: sitting down with my kids and we're watching college basketball
• 58:04
  Speaker 9: in part because we're looking for, you know, potential lottery
• 58:06
  Speaker 9: picks for my Memphis Grizzlies. And so tonight we'll get
• 58:09
  Speaker 9: to see at least one of those in Keeton Wagler,
• 58:12
  Speaker 9: who is the primary point guard at Illinois. Incredible story,
• 58:16
  Speaker 9: young man. He's a freshman six foot six point guard
• 58:19
  Speaker 9: from Kansas, had no high major offer basically coming out
• 58:24
  Speaker 9: of high school outside of Illinois. He was ranked one
• 58:27
  Speaker 9: hundred and fiftieth in his high school class last year.
• 58:30
  Speaker 9: This is not a McDonald's All American five star recruit,
• 58:33
  Speaker 9: none of that stuff. He's just a guy, except once
• 58:36
  Speaker 9: he got to Illinois we found out he's not. He's
• 58:38
  Speaker 9: now a leading score best player on a top ten
• 58:41
  Speaker 9: team from a power conference. And I don't know if
• 58:44
  Speaker 9: it's unprecedented, because it's a weird and hard thing to
• 58:46
  Speaker 9: look up, but I can just tell you if it's not,
• 58:48
  Speaker 9: it's very rare. The idea that a freshman who had
• 58:51
  Speaker 9: ranked one hundred and fiftieth in his high school class
• 58:53
  Speaker 9: could be the best player in the leading scorer at
• 58:55
  Speaker 9: a big end program ranked in the top ten in
• 58:57
  Speaker 9: the country. That's crazy. He's also I'm now projected to
• 59:00
  Speaker 9: go top ten in this next craft. So if you're
• 59:03
  Speaker 9: looking for really amazing stories and incredible basketball talent, that's
• 59:08
  Speaker 9: going to be on display tonight against the Michigan team
• 59:11
  Speaker 9: that is projected to be a one seed in the
• 59:13
  Speaker 9: n Sublay Tournament. This is a great, great Friday Night,
• 59:16
  Speaker 9: naturally televised game.
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: Heary, I don't go by Ken Palm. I go by
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: the top twenty five and one. It's a two nine
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: matchup according to the top twenty five and one. I
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what you go by. You
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: do what you do. I go by the top twenty
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: five and one. Man, I go by the top twenty
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: five and one.
• 59:29
  Speaker 8: You do you?
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: I go by the top twenty five and one, Sir,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm looking at.
• 59:32
  Speaker 9: I appreciate that. I was just trying to frame it
• 59:34
  Speaker 9: with the best numbers I could fign and that was
• 59:36
  Speaker 9: too and poor from Tim Pom.
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: Final question for you. We had a conversation. I have
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: buddy mine Daniel and Neil used worked for the sal Times,
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: and he comes on every Friday we talk. He's a
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: U double lum, And I said, you know what's going
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: on Danny Sprinkle and company. I mean, he could coach.
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: We think he may mention to something. And you just
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: talked about rebuilding rosters every year. This is a bigger
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: picture college basketball question Washington, for example, and he he
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: told me this. I started thinking back, and I thought
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: to Spencer Hawes, Markel Fultz, guys like that. He says,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: Washington has never had success with the one and done guys,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: and this year they've got a lottery pick or a
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: potential lottery pick. Hans Steinbach is unbelievable. He's a double
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: double guy in the Big Ten, leads the world in
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: offensive rebounds. He's a really good player. He's a one
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: and done guy. Is what are teams doing now? Because
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's no doubt Boozer is a one and
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: done right at Duke, and he's their best player. It
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: might be the player of the year. So what is
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: the philosophy Y're hearing from coaches around college basketball about
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: how they're constructing rosters. Are one and done still something
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: that they're desired.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 9: Yes, but it's very different than it used to be.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 9: And there is not a clear approach to how to
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 9: roster Bill. What I mean is there are coaches who
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 9: had theories on how to do it in strong beliefs,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 9: But then I can talk to somebody just as successful
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 9: in this sport and they'll have a totally different opinion.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 9: I'm glad you brought this up, because I talked to
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 9: coaches in the preseason about this a lot, just because
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 9: I personally wanted to have a better understanding for it
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 9: when I talk about it. And two, I just thought
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 9: it was interesting whether I was talking to Tom Izzo
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 9: or Kelvin Sampson or Matt Painter, you know people who
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 9: are either already in the Hall of Fame or will
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 9: be in the Hall of Fame someday, and they would
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 9: acknowledge to me that they don't really know. I would
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 9: ask tom Izzo and he would say, I'm going to
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 9: keep recruiting high school players and keep developing them and
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 9: try to keep them on campus and build from within.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 9: And I say, do you think that'll work? And he says,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 9: I don't know. I don't know, like he's unsure of
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 9: how to do this, but he says, that's the way
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 9: I'm going to go out if I have to go
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 9: out at all doing it my way. There are other
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 9: coaches who tell me, I just mentioned keithon Wagler, Illinois.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 9: I have had SEC coaches tell me we won't even
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 9: look at somebody ranked one hundred and fiftieth in their
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 9: high school class. Let him go to a mid major,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 9: then we'll buy him in a year from the mid major.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 9: But I'm not recruiting somebody ranked one hundred and fiftieth
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 9: in my high school class because I've got to I
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 9: can get three twenty two year olds that are gonna
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 9: be better equipped to help me next season, which means
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 9: he's gonna sit on my bench, which means he's gonna
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 9: go into the transfer portal. What did I even bring
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 9: him him for to begin with. So where it's really
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 9: getting interesting is like a kid who used to be
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 9: ranked eightieth in the country would have Power conference offers
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 9: from everybody, And now that kid might get like one
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 9: Power Conference offer and then like a VCU or a
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 9: Saint Louis Because the Power conferences they'd rather just buy
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 9: older players from mid majors than go recruit a seventeen
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 9: or an eighteen year old that they have to develop.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 9: They can skip that part and just get the ready
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 9: made team. So it's interesting times and I don't think
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 9: any coach or I don't think many coaches are very
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 9: confident that they're doing it the right way because you
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 9: can look at how Florida did it to win a
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 9: national championship, and that's very different than say, how Dupe
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 9: did it to maybe win this next national championship. So
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 9: a lot of different ways to I guess the phrase
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 9: is skin a cat, but it's it's it's an unusual
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 9: and it's also an unusual time to cover the sport.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 9: Scott Drew said this to me time. He said ten
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 9: years ago in November, I could tell you who's going
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 9: to be good next season because I know who they got,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 9: I know who's bringing who they're bringing back, I know
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 9: who they signed, and signing day and like your whole
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 9: team going into the transfer portal wasn't even a thing.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 9: He said. Now on April first, I can't tell you
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 9: who's gonna be good next season because we've got to
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 9: wait and see who's going way out of the transfer portal.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 9: So these are challenging times for coaches, but they make
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 9: a lot of money to deal with the stress.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: I know that's that's what we think it was too.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: I know, as Glass, he's one of the better freshmen
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: in the country. He's not gonna be here next year.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: We just know it. Like he can't get excited, get excited.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: Why he's not gonna be here one hundred percent? Now
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be here. By the way, you grizzly shouldn't
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: need a lot of help. Cedric Coward averaging thirteen points
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: a game, Jalen Well's twelve points a game. What else
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: do you need? Man? How on our coups are down
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: there doing it for you guys.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 9: It is funny. It is two former Cougars and they're great,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 9: and they also have this in common. They were supposed
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 9: to be two future Duke Blue Devils and decided to
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 9: stay in the draft instead. So it's funny. On one hand,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 9: I got the Washington States side of it, But then
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 9: on the other, like when I talk to John Shire,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 9: he's like, you know, you took my starting wing two
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 9: years in a row with Jalen Wells and Cedric Callard.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 9: I don't know if people knew Jalen Wells was going
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 9: to go to Douke, but that's where he was headed
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 9: is as the story was told to me. So I
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 9: tell you down here in Memphis, we love both of
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 9: those guys, especially Coward. They think he's got a chance
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 9: to be really, really special. We've obviously moved on from
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 9: the Darren Jackson Jeren Morant stuff, and the hope is
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 9: that Cedric Coward and whoever the grives taken this draft
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 9: can be the faces of the franchise going forward. I
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 9: love it.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: Gary. Tell me about the podcast, which I truly believe
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: is one of the best podcasts out there, and especially
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: this time of the year. But I listen to it
• 1:04:38

  Speaker 2: Do you imply that they're not.
• 1:07:49

• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: that app. I need to do one Monday app.

• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: as Yeah, Hey guys, well.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 5: Hey this one from the two of six to piggyback
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 5: on the other one. Like I said yesterday, my respect
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 5: for a coup grew a bit, which is hard to do.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: Wow, that is hard.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. It's painful for you. I bring
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: up the baseball this for that for a second. One
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: of things I want to as those guys Monday, Well,
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: one thing I'd wonder about, and it's been said by others.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: I get that, but they got to where they did
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: last year. Their their catcher had a historic season, like
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: and so like, can you can you replicate last year? Well,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: one thing that history would tell us not this is
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: not say anthing negative about cal Rawly. I'm this is
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: this is the Julio Rodriguez cal raw fan shows of record.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: We love those guys. You're at So someone's gonna have
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: to pick up if he hits if he has a
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: great year, he's hitting forty home runs.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah right, I answer this floor. I think it's great
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: years he hits fifty, Okay, Yeah.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: So forty to fifty, someone's gonna have to pick up
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: ten or fifteen home runs, because if you think back,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: I think the record when he hit a home run
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: was like astronomical in terms of them winning games. We'll

• 1:11:01
  Speaker 5: I did somebody.
• 1:11:03

• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: I will say with the Storm I have. I have
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: some issues with them that I don't have with other teams.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: Mostly they walk around with their hands out, they want
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: everything free. That's kind of the w NBA in a
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: nutshell right now.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 5: But I don't think that you've treated the Storm different
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 5: than you would any other team women.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: I treat them that you treat them like a professional sport.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: If someone else was doing that, i e. Wanting free
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: stuff from the city, I'd say the same thing. But listen,

• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: a Quad four, a Quad five win.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 8: That was a bad team.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 4: That was and God bless you know, God bless Dan
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 4: because I heard him on the post game show He's like,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 4: you know, that was a good basketball team.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, really, I was listened to some
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: of that and I was like, okay, we have there's
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: there's there's one really good player on the floor. Then
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: there's a guard.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 10: Was nice.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well hit the broadside of a barn. There's one
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 4: really good player. His name's Hans. Oh, you're talking about
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 4: the Huskies. I can talk about as a whole team.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 4: Then there's to their guard and zoom, pretty good players
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 4: yep ye. Then we get into mid majorland. Well, we
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 4: get into Wesley Yates, who at times looks like an
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 4: All Big ten player and at times he's terrible.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: Has never scored in the second half. I heard JM
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: mention like it being nice if he would score calf
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: for the first five minutes. But yeah, so that was
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: a So I didn't ask Gary, but I did tenem
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: a text. He said, yes, Rutgers is a Quad five win.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: Wazu's lost to Loyal and Merrymount is a Quad eight loss.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: All right, So that's the state of college basketball for
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: our two schools right now. And by the way, yes
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: there's only four quads. So I am believe a little sarcastic,
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: but he's been that kind of year. It's Debt Left
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: day tomorrow though, I know. Yeah, can he stoot up
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: somebody else that on the text line too, I don't know.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 4: He always whenever I see Debt Left, I mean he's
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: in shape. Yeah, it looks it looks like he plays
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 4: every day.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tear it now. If Debt went out there
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: right now today, he at least at least get four
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: or five boards and probably find himself of the free
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: throw line a couple of times. Yeah, yeah, still get
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: out there, Still get out there.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I was talking to Hugh that he was
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 4: telling me some battle stories about Hugh against Debtliff and
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 4: the im AH back in the day in nineteen eighty five.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: I am actually I actually used to play at the
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: IMA every now and then I was in the league
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: over there. The uh Danny O'Neil brought this up and
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: I asked Gary about it, and it's just an interesting
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: dynamic now because you know, his Danny's thing was with
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: Washington hoops is he says, we've never had success as
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: a team with the one and done guys. And he
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: started and I started thinking back, Okay, well, Spencer Hawes, no,
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: they didn't go to tournament. Markel obviously not. Yeah, right,
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: isa Stewart, Isaiah Stewart, Yeah, but you know like what, yeah,
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: Tony wrote, No, so what do you do? How do
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: you build a team?
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: So he was saying he's talked to guys around, you know,
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: college basketball coaches, and the evolution which I hadn't really
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: heard any talk about this before, is now this what
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: guys are doing now. The top programs in the country,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: they're not recruiting anybody outside of the top sixty seventy
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: kids in the country. What they're doing is you get
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: if you get one of those guys, which the top
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: programs will get one or two of those guys, and
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: then you go on just pick everybody else off. You
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: find another guy. You find another guy that is playing
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: in a mid major, mid major twenty two or a
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: twenty year old and a mid major, right, That's that's
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: how you that's how these top programs are starting to build,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: like the days of and I think who you talk
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: about is he's talking about Matt Panter or somebody said, oh,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: Scot Drew. He says Scot Drew. Every year could tell
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: me he's type with Scottdrew because every year Scot Drew
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: could say on April first, here's who's good next year,
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: next year, next year, who's going to be good next year?
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: Now we don't know until June, that's right. And that's
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: because we see all these all and it's just a
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: bummer because you can't. You can't. I love college basketball.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: I think this year has been incredible. I know you
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: like college basketball. It's been incredible, but you can't get
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: fired up because you don't know what you've got coming back,
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: Like like, like, is Zoom back? Probably more than likely,
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: it would be, should be unless what if it all
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: should be back? Except Seinbock? But what if Kansas comes
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: and offers him a zillion dollars? Right, which could certainly happen. Yeah, right,
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: And so that's that's I guess that's kind of the
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: bummer part of it is.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 4: I mean I kind of live in the hot pie
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 4: in the sky world that says, Okay, I think Seattle
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 4: business people would be really fired up to support a
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 4: basketball program that just absolutely put a net around Garfield
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 4: and Franklin and Odean Rainier Beach.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: We not Garfield this year, but yes, you know, and.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 4: They put a net around those guys, and they just
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 4: had a pipeline because oh when when we were at
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 4: their best or our best, Oh we had Brandon Roy
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 4: and Will Conroy and and Trey Simmons.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, let's do that again. And I think people
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: would pay for it. Yeah, people that.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 4: Oh wait a second, these these Seattle kids want to
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 4: stay in Seattle, make the program better than it's been
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 4: in twenty years.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: I'm willing to give money to them. And you're you're
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: closer to it than I am. But I just just watching.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: When I went to a playoff game a couple weeks ago,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: I I just talking our coach A told me, like
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: he says, it's coming back because we had a lull,
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: had we had a low and I'll say Seattle area
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: right like this, this really like the western Washington. We
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: had a lull in college hoops for a while, or
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: high school hoops in terms of talent, we went from
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: one of the best in the country per capita. Right,
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: there's a little bit of lull, and I think part
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: of it, honestly, not to get political again, I think
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: part of it was COVID our state shut down for
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: two years. You know, kids couldn't play basketball in our state.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: That's just a reality. That's a fact that that's what happened.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: And kids that were in seventh and eighth grade might
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: have that might have been up and comers. Maybe guess
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: what you've got a teenager. You know, if you're not
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: doing anything for two years, you're probably not gonna resume
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: doing anything after two years.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 9: And it hurt.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: We're kind of getting it back now. And apparently the
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: talent in this state is getting better and better every day.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: Young classes are really good. That's what I hear. Kid
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: is fantastic. How much is he getna cost more than
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: the Huskies have? I think some coach May and Michigan
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: calling he's online one right now, right, teammate online one?
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: I think right now is that Bill self? That's here.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: I had Bill, what's going on? All right? What are
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: you coming up today? He was gonna join us, He's
