We Think We're A Solid 14-Seed

[00:00:00] and Takin On Sports. Welcome everybody to Takin On Sports. I am TD that is great. How are you doing this week, man? I'm good. How are you today's work? I'm pretty good, man. We got a lot to talk about so let's just get right to it.

[00:00:24] Of course we'll start with the big dance. MCA basketball selection shows a little bit earlier today as we record Sunday night. Our tide, a four-seed in the West region, Takin On Charleston and their opening round game.

[00:00:43] If they advance from that, they will take on the winner of St. Mary's and... Who do they play? Grand Canyon. That's right. Grand Canyon. If we get past that to the sweet 16, a possible date with one seed North Carolina in it.

[00:01:05] Let's hold up there before we get too far ahead. Of course we got here. Probably didn't help ourselves seeding wise. A bad loss. I was at Friday to Florida and the SEC tournament just didn't look good at all. No faces of the game.

[00:01:28] Coach Oates has come out and talked about a lack of energy, specifically when if the offense If the shots aren't falling there's not a lot of energy on defense. I agree. Yeah.

[00:01:43] So Greg talk about one just what do you think about Coach Oates is comments and all that. How do you like our matchups and our little side of the bracket? Well, I mean, the comments kind of worrisome. I mean, it's March North Silicon for energy.

[00:02:03] I understand, I mean, it wasn't... Do we die in the SEC tournament like it was for like an M or state? I mean, we didn't necessarily have to win a game, but you would like to...

[00:02:15] I've seen a lot more urgency. I mean, consider me just lost a quarter. But we were a week prior to that and then similar fashion. You would have thought they would have came under. We actually started the game off.

[00:02:30] We started off. I mean, we went out of eight nothing. I mean, it was our final starting a while. And then the last five minutes of the half we just died. I don't know what happened after.

[00:02:41] It was ridiculous. And then we just arrived at the rest of the game. But hey, nowhere. It's the new season now. March promise. You know, things change. But now we actually have... The Charleston gives a little worries to me actually. The Charleston is actually a very good team.

[00:03:03] We come out like, listen, any crash. I mean, we might be going over it. Yeah, Red Hot Team. Yeah. I mean, there's the last 12 in a row I believe. And they are a little bit similar to us. We can score that.

[00:03:30] Yeah, they can score points and their defense can be lackluster at times. So hopefully that's... Because then that covers champs you get me. Yeah, I think that's the thing with your play. But I remember watching it.

[00:03:46] And then they went back in the game big time I remember when I went over time. They tried to give it up there at the end. But yeah, they're very talented team. I'm often driven. I guess most worries some thing is teams that are great on offense.

[00:04:02] We have trouble with all season. We haven't shed that many good offensive teams yet. So especially when we're not like Coach O's said and we've said it. Probably everybody was watched out by them instead. When we don't shoot well, our defense goes out the window real quickly.

[00:04:22] Nothing is a great defense. But I mean, we just want to see it match in the methods. I mean, if you lose it and you know, you just run into a better team. You know, and it is what it is.

[00:04:33] You know, when you're seeing. I mean, Florida had no. I mean, they were. And they were quite both the last two time we played for. And honestly, they probably should have beat us in tough schools as well. You know,

[00:04:48] and really I haven't seen a good defensive effort outside of coldmen all year. And that's more I think the crowd energy or anything. You know, even whether it be a Nashville on the road neutral side games or just having played defensive outside of coldmen.

[00:05:07] We'll see how it goes. I mean, obviously we have to power to get out the first first weekend. But do we? Is there a passion to want to? I don't know. Yeah. And you said, you know, hopefully there's something that they find the spark because it's

[00:05:25] do or die. They realize the stakes, particularly some of those senior leaders. You know, guys that might be playing their last, you know, high level competitive basketball. No, for sure. It's a strad is last the college game. Rare or could be marks years last game.

[00:05:42] I mean, it could be a high school's last game. I mean, I think both of those guys can come back to the one and two. The grandnowson may be probably his last game. But I mean, they could all, I think all three of those could come back.

[00:06:00] I think a strad is the only one who's, including one of the village ability. So being interesting, but you know. Yeah, at this point of the year, I guess the biggest thing is you, you don't want to be questioning whether your team is off in and out.

[00:06:16] I think he said those questions. Yeah, and that's yeah. That's a particular worry. Like you said, it's too late in the year for that. You don't want your coach making those type of statements. And yeah, it's not good when we say, well,

[00:06:39] we hope that something clicks between, you know, your conference tournament and the NCAA. But, you know, that's happened before that, you know, things like that do happen. And Charleston is a tricky matchup for sure, but I do think with the week off.

[00:06:55] Yeah, yeah, it's, I do think it's kind of a good. Many little bracket for us. I think we could match up well with St. Mary's, you know, assuming they get by grand canyon. Of course, they're the West Coast Conference champions.

[00:07:16] They're a good team, but they don't have any like. There's like, you know, last year when we played Gonzaga and Drew Timmy just, you know, ate us up. Right. They don't kind of have that real guy to big threat in there.

[00:07:28] And then, you know, you get to the sweet 16. That's when anything can happen. And of course, North Carolina would be favored over us. And they're a really hot team right now. But they're beatle. Yeah. They're beatle. Yeah, I made a poster. I think either, I think either A,

[00:07:46] we lose a trough. I mean, we can see their wager. We're going to do big things that we're just going to go out quick. I don't think it's any in between. Yeah. They're doing a quick and go to the sweet 16 at the minimum one.

[00:08:05] We're just going to go home really early. You know, I mean, there's some good things with the bad things. So we did, I mean, of course, I mean, they're going to be in the right side of me. This we are fourth year straight in the tournament.

[00:08:18] I mean, that's for some of those we were in college. That's happened. You know, we get a need, old spec. Of course, with that Michigan job opening up, there was a concern and he was kind of go to Michigan. We got a heck of recruiting class coming now.

[00:08:33] So the future is bright. But then you know, I just feel like this team is good enough to achieve greatness. At least see the second weekend. I don't know, maybe I have two I have an expectation.

[00:08:48] But I just like, you know, we under achieved a little bit more than what we said I've been here. They were put in for it. But I think that's what we're saying. No, absolutely. And what you mentioned about expectation, I think that's becoming a we've often said,

[00:09:05] you know, we've been saying since we were in school there, the program with the resources that Alabama has. There's no reason it shouldn't be a consistent NCAA tournament team. Like the streets we go and we miss the tournament. We're playing an IT.

[00:09:20] It's really should be on a set of athletic program like ours. Oh, with as much resources as much money as we have. And Alabama is not a bad basketball state for recruiting. There's a lot of talent players that.

[00:09:34] And then you get a guy we get a guy like Nate Oateson here. He's played an NBA, you know, style offense like guy, see it. They want to play he's a great recruiter. You mentioned we locked him up.

[00:09:45] We got him, you got a great extension on making one of the top five highest paid coaches in the country. So that's great for us. Build the arena, Greg Berg. Please, that's all this next. Please build us in arena. Yeah.

[00:10:04] But yeah, I even think we should be especially under God like Oateson the way we play. We should have the expectation not just to make an tournament but making a second weekend at minimum every year. You know? There's been some expectations.

[00:10:19] Yeah, upsets do happen of course, but there's no reason. I feel comfortable in saying that yeah, if we as Bama fans, we should expect to beat Charleston and then beat St. Mary's and make it so that you know, face off against UNC.

[00:10:32] And then that's where, yeah, and that's where we can, you know, subdue our expectations. You can't do that. You can't do that. You know, that's okay. Yeah. It's North Carolina. There are one season. Yeah. I mean, how excited the miracle run by NC State, probably when the conference.

[00:10:50] The other thing is, the regular season. Yeah, there's playing it there team that's playing as well as any team to country right now. I don't know. So yeah, a rest of our bracket there. North Carolina, they play the winner of the Howard and Wagner playing.

[00:11:09] The eight nine matchups are interesting one Mississippi State and Michigan State. I'm the interesting one. You're the best state one all over here this weekend. They did play themselves into the tournament off the bubble. Yeah. Blue Tennessee out the water in Nashville.

[00:11:28] I didn't know but he saw that coming. Not to that extent. I mean, I will instruct the one because I mean, they're fine for the lives for the way today dominated again. Yeah. Yeah, seeing that score on the end.

[00:11:41] I didn't get to watch a game but seeing that score line and then looking at highlights and reading the stats like damn. Yeah, they just went crazy. And you know, you don't play with a play Auburn next.

[00:11:51] I mean, they lost Auburn, but I mean, I don't know if I'm a fire all weekend right. They played. It's probably the best Auburn's of the top season. Yeah, that Auburn's team getting hot at the right time. Of course they went on the tournament today. Be Florida. Yep.

[00:12:09] And themselves a foreseed. So yeah, you know, of course, you know, you root for state whatever state wins. You root for them to pull the upset of UNC and I like our matchups against, you know, obviously we beat state to what twice this year. Twice pretty hard.

[00:12:27] We both times. Yeah. And then Michigan State. I'm a little bit seasoned. Yeah. Yeah. Michigan State's not, you know, a classic Michigan State team this year. I mean, they're okay. I mean, they have been Michigan State a little bit. Wow. And there are teams that we actually beat.

[00:12:50] Yeah. Well, we beat them. I mean, a quite way different, but we beat them last season in a. One of those holiday tournaments. So let me completely different game. But yeah, me. We have an opportunity there. You know, have a run there.

[00:13:08] But it's not just matter of how we want to come out on play. Yeah. Wait. The other thing is the story. The main thing is that we have this five year thing. Don't fall. When the shots don't fall, you gotta keep playing. Right? We just, oh, man.

[00:13:27] We just get my own man. Yeah. So you see the body language. And that's what Oto's talking about. You know, he says you see this body language and you see them not hustle.

[00:13:36] And he made a point in that, you know, making a big play on defense can ignite your offense too. You know, you get a couple of steals some easy fast break points. A big block to all everybody up transition three here there. You know,

[00:13:51] Because that's what we do our best work is going on the transition. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So you think that would, so it's a new season. Hopefully the guys are ready to go. That's how we can all four.

[00:14:03] Um, then they need to have a great opportunity to make it to play North Carolina this week 16. And um, do they want to do that? No. Yeah. And then a plus side, you know, will become an end with a fully healthy roster. You know, rising, Griffin back. Yep.

[00:14:23] So hopefully, you know, they have a good week of practice. And of course that game is Friday. It looks like the time is actually been released. Yep. 635 Central Town. That's good. Um, be a work. Oh. Yeah. That's a good thing. Oh, that's what you know.

[00:14:43] And you know, I said. He events. About four 13 matchups. I was thrilled that because, you know, for a while, they people were thinking we're playing Sanford another Debbie Horrible. No, I'm not playing Sanford. Yeah.

[00:14:57] Cause they're playing Kansas of that 413 just because, man, the little school out of Alabama playing The Big Dogs come on. No, never good. Never good. That would have been a lot of please on this play Sanford. Yeah. I think we were the poor and see. And the print.

[00:15:13] I saw this project throughout the weekend. It's playing Sanford. I don't want to see them. Yeah. Sanford and a voided UAB to who. Yeah. Good for the players, man. It was in the last week. A couple weeks ago, we've had that game verse. They were playing Memphis.

[00:15:30] They're on the mountain. They blew a huge lead. They blew like a 20, some point lead in loss by 20 something. Yeah. And I think I even tweeted it or something. I said, like, well, if UAB had dreams of dance and they were just dash by Memphis and

[00:15:47] they lowered the hold. Great run in AAC torn. Very well. And therein. So yeah, rest of Alabama's bracket on the other side. You got our two seed as Arizona. They'll play Long Beach State. Dayton, Nevada is your 17. Baylor's your 3C.

[00:16:07] You want to get a cold gay and then clings in. Is there 60 to get 11 senior Mexico? I kind of like me, Mexico. Right there. I like Mexico. Right. Watch a lot of them this weekend. And sometimes they're dangerous things because you.

[00:16:25] You start liking a team a little bit. Just on a team. Maybe they're going to go deep in the tournament. Yeah. But you know, they have a lot of legacy players on it. They got any hospice kids at Mom, Mass Grand Junior, Rick Patino, Junior is the coach.

[00:16:41] I mean, they know, Obe brother plays on top of me got. Top in brother playing. Oh, can you take with them? Yeah, I'll be talking to brother plays on that team. There's a talented bunch there. Mm-hmm. It was a fun term that they're mountain west.

[00:17:04] Man, they were a very solid competition. It's a big, it was a big team. Yeah, it is a, as a serious conference right there. The mountain west is definitely one of the tougher conferences in the league in the country. And where? I'm sorry.

[00:17:31] I'm looking for my look for something here. But uh, so yeah, looking elsewhere. So our other one seeds, uh, you kind of your number one overall seed. They're playing like the defendant champs they are. Uh, dangerous team. Uh, interesting. Manchups around and notes.

[00:17:56] We mentioned you a bn there is in the 12 seed against San Diego State. Um, that's an interesting matchup to watch right there. Yeah, and then they are, they're paired up to against Auburn. Auburn is the 4c. They play Yale the Ivy League champs.

[00:18:14] And I'm looking around this bracket. Did Princeton get snowed? Yeah, remember that? Oh wow. Yeah, oh, I lost the ball. I lost the ball. Yes, they really heard of that. Yeah. Yeah, they did not get in. Oh man, that's uh, yeah. That's rough. That's tough.

[00:18:40] I'm going to see other teams that were snub just real quick. Indiana State. Indiana State. I picked, I was going to start picking and I thought they'd get. Yeah, uh, Saint John's big run. They made, did not um, then, but you know, they were, I don't know.

[00:18:58] I mean, I understand why they didn't get in. I mean, yeah. Yeah. I have a hard, but I mean, they went from the thing where they was the 18th and the I did, I get one at the end.

[00:19:10] You know, every Latino one that caught Greenfield anything about Saint John's on this. No, no, that's probably true. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, understand it. He was pissed today. He was on a, maybe, you got interviewed somewhere. Some of they did the, uh, committee's in joke. Oh, yeah.

[00:19:33] They're not even, they've already denied their, uh, and they're not even going to play an anti. Oh, well, they're mad about it. Um, but I'll start with the C. You don't have yourself got some means. Yeah, that's okay. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:19:50] By the way, I don't know if you guys have seen that, but one on a buzzer beater, um, one of the Ivy League tournament that Ivy League does a little 14 tournament now and a buzzer beater to send yourself to the, NCAA tournament. It's hard to beat.

[00:20:06] Um, and that's a, yeah. Yeah. And that would have been crazy. They were probably like 17 and 19 out of the, maybe with something. Some games on the 500. They say it will, if they're, uh, help on their games. Be it on today.

[00:20:23] Um, do cane, uh, their, uh, the dukes of do cane. Uh, interesting note for their first tournament in 47 years. Uh, so good for them. Uh, I was, did you see that they tend to turn a man? I did not. It was wild. Just everybody. I mean, everybody lost.

[00:20:44] Play all the big, uh, like, uh, I think like, uh, with the Friday, like, all the, uh, um, I'm top 16 dollars on the same day. Here's a crazy tournament. Well, there were, um, as Joe LaNardey puts it, there were five bid Steelers this year.

[00:21:04] Uh, five teams at one their, uh, conference tournaments and thus took the automatic, uh, the bids we mentioned in C state earlier, uh, surprise run to the ACC title, Oregon, a pack 12 title, New Mexico that mountain West title, uh, duke. Uh, I mean we mentioned them.

[00:21:24] They were surprised when they're in the Florida Atlantic, um, lost. So they're actually not in and that loss would uh, uh, kind of open a gates for, you know, bubble team to lose their spots.

[00:21:38] So some of these teams we mentioned, you know, maybe a Princeton Indian estate, uh, you know, coulda got in otherwise, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

[00:21:47] talking about other interesting things to see some SEC team. Houston, there are one seed in the South region. Uh, no surprise there. Texas A&M, a nine seed in that region, uh, the team with the longest winning streak, uh,

[00:22:01] current active winning streak James Madison, a 12 seed against Wisconsin, the five see that's interesting. Watch. Uh, Duke playing Vermont, uh, which if I remember right, that was a big upset a while back, right? And it Vermont upset Duke. Um, I remember the Syracuse, I'll remember being.

[00:22:23] Is that it? Yeah, Vermont. I think it's been Syracuse back when we were in college, I remember that. Um, yeah, that was it. Yeah. Um, trying to think who am I thinking of that Duke lost to first round one year. Yeah. They got a few of them.

[00:22:39] Yeah, they got a few of them, but yeah, there's one. They lost the bill before, um, they lost two, we're in school. They lost a BCU, and that's how it's so excited. I have to grant coming out of that. That's what I remember. And the BCU one, yeah.

[00:22:54] Um, that's the SEC team Duke, uh, excuse me, Kentucky is a three seed in that region as well. Florida, a seven seed. Uh, Kentucky plays Oakland. Uh, of course, remember they're not in Oakland. They're actually from what Detroit, right? Missing. Yeah, Detroit.

[00:23:13] Uh, and then Florida, the seven seed in that. They play the winner of a Boise State Colorado play in game, which that's a tough matchup for them either way. Yeah. I mean, they lost a big man today. Uh, yeah, very unfortunate really early in the game too.

[00:23:28] That's a tough, uh, that's itself outred when determined because he's not in his series injuries. So that day to see that big and playing good. Florida, the last month has been plans of really good basketball. Uh, yeah.

[00:23:41] And there are teams that play hot, fast offense so they can, they can make her on too and they play, you know, a little bit better defense than we do. Um, trying to see Midwest region. You got Purdue as your one seed there, of course.

[00:23:55] Um, you mentioned Kansas, uh, Samford, uh, interesting for 13 matchup, uh, South Carolina of the great year they had. They get Oregon in a six 11 matchup. Uh, Tennessee at two seed, uh, maybe call some self that one seed with that loss of Mississippi State. Yeah, I'm saying so.

[00:24:15] Um, um, open it up for UNC to sneak in there and take it. Uh, they get same Peters. Um, is there anything that jumps out of you looking at the bracket?

[00:24:28] Any team that jumps out is like a Cinderella or maybe like which one seeds got the easiest bracket? Anything like that on your first view? Um, just looking, um, if there's a time when you know,

[00:24:49] I would say if there's a time that Purdue actually goes deep in the tournament, you know, they're struggles over the time when we know they're big all last year. Uh, the brackets not that bad. They may, they may, they possibly play Tennessee in the eight.

[00:25:07] A parent to their they should not lose. They do. I mean, obviously, we know they lost the 11 16 matchup last year. Don't see that happening again. I don't see them moves into the Utah State TCU winner. Um, um, you know, uh, you know, uh, you know, could play Kansas.

[00:25:33] I mean, I'm not, you know, Kansas has all those injuries got to go on for Sancti. I said, you know, who's coming back this weekend? Yeah. I'm not even sure if they be sent, Samford, uh, Gonzaga, Magnet State is interesting game.

[00:25:48] Um, but I mean, I don't see them, you know, really losing. I would have to be Tennessee. Um, I'm not right there. And I say that as you know, I don't know.

[00:26:00] I just, you know, just because their history been so lacklustuous far as when they've got a good thing, but I think they're kind of easy. Easy way, easy road to this to be a lead eight. Hmm. Uh, yeah, I kind of, I agree with that.

[00:26:17] That's um, and remember when Virginia was the first sick one seed that lose to a 16 seed, they came back in the year on the whole thing. Yeah. So, um, it's pretty good motivation for you know, our small sample size. Yeah.

[00:26:33] Um, but I mean, there are teams they've been, I mean, they've had some weird, I mean, who not even just last year? We go back and look at the news last 10 turn of the game. I mean, they've had some weird and some tough losses against teams you

[00:26:51] with they man, how do they lose that game? Yeah. So, let me enter that some see what they do, but that's one that does take out to me there. Uh, but uh, the other one, I mean, I just, you know, you can.

[00:27:06] I mean, I'd be shocked if they don't make to the final four just because they're, they, they, they placed a good ball on your, I mean, you look there when had three losses all the regular season.

[00:27:18] Two was at Kansas and at Cravee, um, you know, two tournament teams, and you know, Kansas was healthy at that point. So, I mean, two losses in our, we, then that, and then came back and ran through the big East tournament.

[00:27:34] They're having, we were, well, could see a repeat champion, her win shot me at all. Yeah, we mentioned they're probably the hottest team to come true right now. They're just playing lights out. They blew through that big East tournament. Yeah, they do.

[00:27:50] Uh, I mean, they too see on that side as I was state. I mean, they're good, but I mean, do not, I mean, they're a good team and they could also then blow it out. You see yesterday, but I mean, I don't have this on.

[00:28:08] I just don't know. Yeah, I don't know if they had the horses that the guns to go, you know, toe to toe with you, but, you know, hey, that's what March is for. Yep.

[00:28:20] Kind of send a relis at popped out at you that you look kind of like their first round match up and maybe some. Could spark them around. I mean, I do like, I mentioned that the Kansas game. I do like, I mean, Sanford is interesting one.

[00:28:42] On the other, you know, I said, I do like the Mexico. I could see them making a run. But I mean, that could be a very interesting game in that 32, what they play against Baylor. I mean, that would. That could be an entertaining game right there.

[00:29:07] Um, and I could see them having a good run, but I mean, I'd say I've heard that first round. Um, and then I'll slow. There's a lot of matchups that can go either way. That's what's, so this is coming great about this tournament.

[00:29:21] I mean, you look at somebody's van here right there. You could definitely go either way easily. Yeah, and it's, um, I always look at these teams and make these hot runs too, you know, like do they keep their momentum. Yeah. You know, so it is.

[00:29:36] Yeah, that break. It kind of slows you down. Um, like a team like UAB, you know, real hot, a great run in their comfortable tournament and they get a tough matchup. But the same year goes, Stating that played in the title game last year, not the same team,

[00:29:50] not as good this year, but still I mean, still good. Still good. You know, you win that. You're probably running in the Auburn. But, uh, I would think if you're an Auburn fan, you don't want any part of UAB for the same reason.

[00:30:04] We didn't want Samford. Yeah, you don't want to play little brother, so to say. Yeah, you know, but we'll guys up to state the pro. We'll spend the day to get to Alabama Auburn. Yeah. James Madison mentioned there that it's a long as active wooden

[00:30:18] street in the country right now. I kind of like them against a Wisconsin team. How do I then? Yeah, that's another one. Yeah, do I. Yeah. Not only is it the fire 12. But I'm very weird. We're really about big 10 teams because a lot of big 10 teams

[00:30:37] have had great regular stages of Wisconsin had a good run. You know, they lost today in the championship game with a minute of good one. Big 10 team just have not heard well, then say primary score. I know we've talked about it, you know,

[00:30:51] for all the talk about them being, you know, one of the bigger. That's a very good conference. Have that one a title since. Mattene Clees and yeah, Michigan State back in 2000. Yeah, 24 years ago now, y'all. A quarter century. Yeah, like that.

[00:31:12] People want to complain about all the SEC. I always. In a big handful of drive claims, there's such a powerful basketball conference. But yeah, I mean the titles are saying otherwise. Yeah, So yeah, yeah, so yeah. Yeah, and today I like that. And then you know,

[00:31:36] a Duke possible matchup with Duke and the second round there. Uh, the Dukeies haven't been playing great this year. You know, they've been really inconsistent in this year. We know, they're okay. They make them score their soft. I mean, they've been soft for a while now. You know,

[00:32:00] back in the day, I mean, Duke was known for our most different. I mean, they had a lot of work courses. Um, you know, I think Duke kind of changed when they went all in on that. But you know,

[00:32:15] for what they had a mix of all the Americans. But then they also had those hard working guys. You know, your good role players, you know, like Steve Wall jacousey, you know, maybe we can post your sound off that guy from the fabulous music anywhere.

[00:32:35] G bruk of the47 the accuser antifigured一點 jar and so t fl of our time and go of the insane player, the big dumb thing was that this remember me every J. Reddick, Greg Paulis. Grace and Owl, and yeah, Grace and Owl that's the dude I think of.

[00:33:03] They always had one of those guys. And like you said, next to their big studs and then kind of, you know, the one and done and all that kind of they changed up their recruit and a little bit to kind of keep pace.

[00:33:15] But like you said, you need those roadway or she need those. Okay, I mean, they found out about standing recruiting classes. I mean, even the end of the course case, I mean, they had nothing but five stars. I mean, they weren't mean.

[00:33:30] Because back in the day, there's no way that their dude teams would have let Coach K. Luce to North Carolina at home. And then to the right, they'll lose to him again in the final four cinemas. Oh, no, yeah, those things. They say J will never happen.

[00:33:50] Chris, do Han, the guys like that. Outland brand. Yeah. Yeah. Those guys, you know, would have, like you said, they would have never, like you think Christian lightener would have let that happen. You're full. Right here. Yeah, so. Oh, yeah, those guys.

[00:34:10] They did not, did not let Coach K go out with. They might, they might have lined up with what are pleasing. They might have gone out swinging literally. But, you know, like, there. Yeah. No, I agree. Yeah. And so like, yeah, that's why that's why I look at

[00:34:27] that. You know, I haven't filled out rackets yet, but you know, um, yeah, we're needed by the mom of you. That's a tough one. That's tough or maybe that James Madison, you know, maybe that's a, because you know, a double-digit seat has reached the sweet 16 and what, like,

[00:34:41] 10, 11 straight years, something like that. Some double-digit number. So that's something to think about. And we will be doing a bracket challenge getting this year, a taken on sports. So look for that. I will get that done right after we finish recording here. I'll set that up for everybody.

[00:34:59] We put it on our socials, remind you too, by the way. But yeah, so, you know, like I said, looking for those teams that made that run, you know, like a NC state, you know, can they can carry that? You know, they got Texas tech.

[00:35:13] That's an interest to match up. Uh, I think they can take a one five games or five days. You know, just how do they read about them? I mean, we've seen it. You, we saw you can't do it. You know, we've also seen the other teams like

[00:35:28] one of your Syracuse and our heater and one, but then they were also like the first round, because they were time. Yeah. Oh, so yeah. So are these three days in between, you know, they got, they play Thursday night. You know, is it?

[00:35:43] Is, yeah, how do you fund that balance? Between rest and keep in sharp, you know? Yeah. We mentioned that all the time and, and pro sports, whether, you know, teams to get the buys, uh, yeah, you know, how do you keep it?

[00:35:56] That your momentum from the season go on and, you know, get professionals. And those professionals are making on them. They're just big enough. So yeah, for some time, about 18, 19, O.K. it's, I mean, yeah. Not even, even suffer, but I mean, they just went on a heater,

[00:36:11] these fire been a road to even make the tournament, because I mean, if they didn't be North Carolina yesterday, they're not even in. Yeah, they just got to 20, 20, they got about 20 wins because of the tournament. They didn't win in the 17 and 14. Prior to this fire game.

[00:36:28] So let's see, or else anything interested. And, um, nothing else really pops out at me. Uh, I think Houston might have a pretty easy road to at least the elite eight there. Um, yeah. Their eight nine is Nebraska A&M. I think that's, uh, yeah.

[00:36:56] I mean, that's it. I mean, take it in there. And then it's a tough team though. I mean, they've been playing some good ball. They're finally playing to the level that people thought they were going to play at all year. You know, because I mean,

[00:37:09] they were the big, I'm assuming the SEC favorites going into the season. Um, and they came on at the end. But for a while, they were struggling. But I mean, they have a good SEC tournament. They blew out a Kentucky. Um, play, and we're blowing for them out.

[00:37:32] And that forwarded back in the game. Um, you know, that last session they mean there. But they're playing good. And we're going up again. They're interested in here. You know, just working with all bunch of Nebraska people.

[00:37:43] They're trying to get their first tournament win a lot of time. Oh, I don't have a tournament there. You know, that did not know that. That's crazy. But yeah. So, you know, he's against by then.

[00:37:55] Then their their matchup is the what we just talked about with that was constant James Madison Duke for months. Uh, and I think Houston should be easily be favorite over it. Any of those teams. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's one thing.

[00:38:09] No one seen the defense like Houston if you're not the big 12 and have a minute or two more couple times. I don't think you know what you're going to do. You know, you're in for a rough day.

[00:38:21] Um, the other side of their bracket on the other hand when they get to lead A that's where you're going to face a team that is going through the fire. Because that is a, I think that's pretty tough size. So you got Texas Tech in C state.

[00:38:34] They play the winner Kentucky Oakland so probably Kentucky a Kentucky team that maybe kind of toward the end of your has figured it out with their stars. You know, like you said, not a not a great show in the SEC tournament.

[00:38:45] But uh, still a talented team really talented. To be far the Aggie were playing for their lives. They exactly. Yeah. James was it. But I mean, they they seem to begin to get together before that.

[00:39:01] I mean, they have the big road when last weekend, close off the season against Tennessee. Of course they're around through us. They had a weird stretch in the middle and uh, everywhere where they lost two or three times that rubbed. But recently they've been playing a better ball.

[00:39:19] They're talented team. Yeah, I mean, it's just we're, I mean, they're just a team that are always going to be under the expectation that we're Kentucky fans. One of them to be, um, I mean, they get they can win. Yeah, over at you, but do that.

[00:39:38] We'll see, you know, they could. I mean, they could easily win this bracket. Um, they could. Yeah, it's like, yeah, I mean, them and you sent an early date would be a epic match. I think. Oh, it's close, but they also have to get through that suit 16.

[00:39:55] So your two sea down there is Mark Ket. They play West Kentucky. Mark Kets a very good team. And then the seven 10 matchup is Florida and they'll play the winner of the Virginia Colorado State playing game.

[00:40:12] I think Florida kind of got shaft a little bit on their sea. They should be more like a five seed to me. Um, yeah. I mean, seven's kind of low. So that's, you know, that's rough. That's rough from our kit right there in a second round. Yeah.

[00:40:25] Um, and then maybe you know, Kentucky Florida matchup, you know, an SEC rival. I tell you what, I would imagine a Houston Florida lead eight matchup. That Houston defense against that Florida offense would be fun. How much? Yeah, that would be fun. But have it.

[00:40:41] Oh, and Mike, yeah, that was about back a year. The bottom half is very interesting. Mm-hmm. Um, like I said that might be like, because you got some big hitters, like, I think any of the three Kentucky Florida market can go on and get to that final four.

[00:41:00] Uh, I don't think tech or, you know, I don't think they have it this year, but you know, they're a well coach team. But they always play hard. Yeah. Um, and yeah, there's just, you know, it's one of those years where we mentioned it all year.

[00:41:17] There hasn't been one team to really separate themselves from the pack. Maybe this last couple weeks now, it teams like, you can't. It's kind of changed a little bit. Yeah, really. The most, they're the most elite team. Uh, I mean, going into the weekend, it was,

[00:41:36] I mean, used to not thought was right there. I mean, they're still right there, but the fact that they got it, they got an humble to get inside with state. I don't know what that means because, you know,

[00:41:46] these kinds of assignments are weird because they tell you something, but then they really don't, you know, the use team. I mean, when you already have the ones you locked up, I mean, is that already getting motivated to win up the, you know, big 12 title. I don't know.

[00:42:01] You know, I don't know what the motivation was for that game. I mean, I'm sure they want to, I mean, it was kind of shocking what they lost by, we were almost 30 points. I mean, that's because we got very unused some light.

[00:42:17] But then I don't know, you know, if you judge that anyway, but for the tournament or not. Yeah. Um, but yeah, it should be a fun tournament. It always is, um, yeah. I mean, it's not too many games. That's the day, they should there are so many games.

[00:42:35] You're like, uh, me, uh, you know, actually there's a bum bum bum, you know, of course it is up to that's every year. But I mean, the separation between the great and good is getting smaller and smaller.

[00:42:50] You know, it was, I mean, there's probably that, uh, you know, there's a lot more game just sitting and thinking away longer than what you used to when you're feeling after bracketing days. What you know, why would they want to die?

[00:43:07] And, you know, just, uh, some of these big majors, I mean those are the guys who just been three, four years. So they're building that camaraderie because those guys are obviously frozen. So they're able to build a great college.

[00:43:21] They, of course, may not transition to the NBA, but we know, you know, that, you know, just your senior latencies that are from the mid-major conferences. This is their time to shine. I mean, this is probably the last time people are going to think about them

[00:43:38] on the national stage. So, you know, they're coming to take out anybody and everybody. Hmm. And yeah, and speaking of, you know, that's what makes the tournament great. Like you said, those mid-major teams that really cohesive coming up against the big stars, you know.

[00:43:57] Because there are some comments by Greg Sanky this week that there haven't been talks of an all power conference tournament, but nothing's off the table. Well, that should be off the table, Greg, because no one wants to watch a tournament

[00:44:18] that just has the, you know, top eight teams from all the power conferences, you know. That's amazing. That's special. Yeah, you can't, no, it's one thing in college football to talk about that. I don't even, I don't even want to see it in college football.

[00:44:34] Yeah, we don't want to see it, but it's, you know, it's a little more understanding of the podcast. Yeah, but no, yeah, you can't take away this. Yeah, you can't take away that. Because I mean, that's the, that's the stuff. Let me know.

[00:44:50] Upset is what draws fans in for that first week in the March madness. That's where everybody he plays the colors they're fighting. If you, yeah, if you moved to a power conference, only tournament, you would lose all of your

[00:45:06] casual viewers. And that's, you know, that's what they're trying to get, you know? So it doesn't work the way that it doesn't call a triple. You know, a casual viewers are too in for the Georgia's versus Alabama's, the Georgia's versus, you know, Michigan's, whatever,

[00:45:20] because they're going to see all the guys that they're going to see on Sunday soon. But it'll work that way. It's special. Especially that first month. Now I will say that when we get laid up on the time,

[00:45:31] everybody cram is for this in your road, the upsets. And till we get to light the final four. Yeah, and then you want to see your right hand scroll. Yeah, it goes like last year, when we met at UCON Sunday, we'll stay Miami and F.A.U.

[00:45:47] Probably the least ones find a full of all time. Yeah. And everybody wants to see everybody wants to see this under rallies until you get to that final four. And then you want to see a blue bloods. Understandable. I mean, you're, you know, your diet or

[00:46:04] our basketball fans are of course, they're going to enjoy the regardless. But yeah, your casuals want to see your Kentucky's, your Kansas's, Duke's, Carolina's, in the final four. But I'll up until that point again. I mean, just not be terrible. Because I mean,

[00:46:23] I'm not a con basketball. It's hard enough to keep an audience and if they do that, no, you can't. Yeah, but yeah, any other thoughts on tournament or college roots before we move on? No, I think it's going to be a plan. It's going to be a plan.

[00:46:42] I'll submit. We'll speak in a tournament. The, uh, all the FBS conferences in Notre Dame this week did agree to the new college football playoff contract. But that, so that, that only goes as far as payouts

[00:46:58] and all that, of course, the SEC at Big Ten benefit the most from that. So not officially expanded to 14 yet. But I think they expected. Yeah, I mean, they were greeted. I mean, it's pretty

[00:47:12] damn deal. Even though we never played at 12. Yeah, um, so yeah. So at least get two years of the 12, we know that. But uh, yeah. So that's that and then the other big college football news this

[00:47:27] week was kind of, uh, in its great something you touched on on your Instagram this week. Nick Sabin went to Congress. They had a little thing talking about NIL and Yadiyadin, the state of college football, basically. And Nick Sabin made some comments and he tickled the

[00:47:46] told a story about, you know, they were hosting some recruits and players and all that. And afterwards, Mr. Terry came to him and said, you know, basically, why are we doing this? Like, all the

[00:47:55] players just want to know how much you're going to get paid and, you know, not like how the programs can take care of them and blah, blah, blah. And of course, naturally the online reaction to that

[00:48:10] focused on that one story and everything was painted all saving, you know, he quit because players are getting paid or, you know, once he realized it wasn't as easy for him to win, he stepped away from the game. And of course, always shortsighted never actually reading the story,

[00:48:29] never actually know what you're talking about. You just hate saving. Nick Sabin for years, for years has been a proponent of players getting revenue split and he even said that in that very testimony and that very conversation at Congress, but people nobody wanted to pull on that.

[00:48:51] And no blame texted me this week talking about that and a story by everyone's favorite, Joseph Goodman, you know, the guy who just would not let go of the brand. Yeah, hate Alabama

[00:49:03] would not let go of the brand and Miller thing. And he wrote this whole story talking about that same thing, and basically, and mentioned it one time but wrote the rest of the article like it

[00:49:13] didn't matter, like he forgot that. So if we're going to talk about this, you got to talk about the nuance of it. And what Nick Sabin is the same thing he's done many times over his career,

[00:49:25] particularly at Alabama where he's gone on a ramp apart of the question things and about the game and changes and the way the game is evolving and if it's actually good for the sport.

[00:49:37] And of course, most times that's met with like, oh, Sabin's mad blah blah blah blah blah. And it's not that way. Nick Sabin, if he still had, if he was a younger man,

[00:49:46] still had the energy for it, he would stick around and figure out a way to win. You know, he did this win. The uptempo offenses were coming up and player injuries won the rise. He had a rant and everyone's like, oh, he's just mad because his way,

[00:50:03] yeah, his murder ball has three yards in a cloud of dust is, you know, it's going up. So he's mad about that. Like no, he's just legit worried about the game. Because what he do in that,

[00:50:16] he hired Langkiffin. He, you know, revitalized completely. Exactly. And then one three more national titles with an offensive focus team. Any time Nick Sabin does this say is this what we

[00:50:30] want the game to be, he legit means that he actually does care about the game of football and college football. So his comments weren't whining and decrying all this. He was saying that it's okay

[00:50:43] for the players to get part of the revenue that they have a big hand in making. He is, A. Okay, but he wants that. He is long advocated for that. What he doesn't think is good is

[00:50:54] the way the system is now and he's right because it creates this free agent market. But it's unlike the pros where you sign a contract. Well, okay, you play that blank through your contract.

[00:51:06] I play on five years for X amount of money. You're playing with it. You might get paid this amount of money this year, but hey, I want to go to stay next year because I'm not married. Exactly. And so

[00:51:17] now the coaches are having to recruit their own players every season. And if you can't see how that's exhausting for any coach, not just Sabin. If you can't see how that's not great for the players.

[00:51:32] And that's part of what he talked about. Like you risk your development because you're bouncing around from school to school. You know, one staff might have you the right track for you and then

[00:51:42] the other staff might want to do something different. So then by the time you get to, you know, this draft time your skills are home. Yeah, your skills aren't home. Yeah, you didn't get a proper

[00:51:55] education because you're bouncing around so much. So you don't have a backup plan. So yeah, I just wanted to mention that. You know, I mean, there's a lot. I mean, there's a lot to it. Of course,

[00:52:07] everybody is kind of playing it this way because Sabin want to let's just be honest. Next Sabin kicked your teams ass a hundred times. A sick of Alabama winning, your sick of mixed Sabin winning.

[00:52:21] So it's to you guys this time, because Sabin is the longest coach of Alabama. So pay and enjoy your time. Unless the honest, your coach feels the exact same way Nick Sabin do.

[00:52:38] Hmm. But yeah, no current coach is going to come out and say that because they don't want to risk losing some star recruit, some star player. Nick Sabin does sometimes he can say that.

[00:52:47] They can say that. I mean, and everybody's going to say that. You're going to be an inundestant was never having issue with players getting paid. I think the issue is, I think, you know,

[00:53:06] the issue is guys who have not played at all, commanding a couple million dollars coming out of high school. We've never seen these guys play at the college level. You know,

[00:53:23] if you were a volunteer with your what you could be, then yeah, I have no problem with you, but to command a couple of me in just to go to your school and we don't know what you could be.

[00:53:37] That's crazy. Like I might sound old and someone else said, oh look at that. I'm off work players getting paid. But you would have to move up to that level.

[00:53:50] I feel like you have to show. I mean, if you make, you know, let's say freshman years, maybe you may 50,000. I mean, that's not the misnesia. You know, and you move up and then you

[00:54:08] become the start of every spec and then you get your, you know, your best 80s contract or whatever brand is in a popular area of the country and we'll do it off that. About time you've called,

[00:54:22] if you're a month I'm over there. Hey, you've earned it. But to come in thinking, the man, I'm not going to multiply a million just because I signed. I don't know. And eventually

[00:54:32] that's going to, and it's going to run out of steam. Because hey, the biggest thing that I were about for the players is this, a player makes X amount of money and doesn't live up to the

[00:54:46] high coming in. You don't think people are ever going to want their money back. You know, if someone gives pay three million dollars and you know, they live up to the expectations or

[00:55:01] team doesn't make to play off. And then people are going to start and not want to give as much money. So I mean, there's a, there's a two sides to it because there's players one more and then they

[00:55:15] do get more the expectations that people are paying them are going to, hey, we want to see their these championships as well. I'm not going to pay. So, there's all a lot of different sides to it. The people don't necessarily always think about, oh yeah, you're absolutely right.

[00:55:38] Yeah, it's just, it's, it's a broken system. It's, you know, usual in CA nonsense. They didn't put any thought into it. Didn't have any backup plans for, you know, when they lost that

[00:55:52] court case some years ago. Yeah, and what you're ultimately doing in the end of the days, you're failing the kids that you're supposed to prop up. Because it's one thing. It's great for

[00:56:08] you to get, you know, your hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. But once college ends up, if you're not properly developed, you're not going to get that big pro contract. And so,

[00:56:19] where do you going to have the fall back on? And you mentioned, like you said, you guys come to a high school never seen a play, a down of college ball and they're getting millions of dollars or

[00:56:29] hundreds of thousands or whatever. And then even that's, you know, of course, that's probably a lot less than what we think because I mean, we only hear the biggest, right, there's a lot of

[00:56:38] guys that are making that of course. But still if you had handed, think back to when we were in school if you handed me, say $25,000 as a college freshman. Well, I'm not spending that responsibly.

[00:56:52] Yeah, yeah. And I'm just a regular person. The magic of the connection of the possible NFL first round town or the Alabama or the Texas or USC and I have $2.5 million. And I'm already, and when I was getting money under the table, I haven't checked in a couple

[00:57:17] hundred of the coolest golf campus. Now I'm a millionaire. Come on. Just insane. Yeah. And same. Yeah, so it's a lot to think about. Yeah. And just imagine having like $1000 cash in college maybe one time you could just spend as you please. Sorry about the crazy week there.

[00:57:46] But yeah, I just wanted to mention that real quick too and talking about playing to one more thing he texted today actually wanted me to mention to our audience is that and I quote, please let your podcast audience know that I can't stand Bruce Pearl in the quote.

[00:58:06] We're we agree. I think there's probably a lot of people that feel that way. Yeah. I'm a coach but yeah, not a fan. No. But yeah, let's keep it rolling here like we did

[00:58:22] say at the top we got a lot to talk about here and we're already 50 minutes in on football stuff. You're basketball. Sorry. Speaking of football NFL free agency officially began this week. And oh, man did it come with a vengeance just some of the highlights. Of course Derek

[00:58:43] Henry officially a Raven. Josh Jacobs the Green Bay Aaron Jones to Minnesota say quann Barkley to the Eagles Calvin Ridley now a tight and Kirk cousins to Atlanta. The Steelers got Russell Wilson and Justin Fields to compete for their quarterback spot. Trader Kenny pick it to the

[00:59:03] Gardner Mint shoes and Las Vegas now. It just an absolute whirlwind of a first week in free agency Aaron Donald was retired. Just who? I mean, headspin it. What has um what's stuck

[00:59:26] out to you this weekend free agency? Well, I probably say the biggest thing of just how quickly you know, last week we were going to share where I'm going to run it back with. Oh and I mean,

[00:59:36] I went so quickly. By day two all the big names were somewhere already. Obviously they got a lot more respect this year than what they did last year. You know there's a lot of people questioning me. Why

[00:59:49] might you do a plan? You know, if we're doing all this now, getting our money's worth. But and all the big names weren't quickly. You know, when to interesting situations, especially say quann in their canry. But you know, it's interesting and then of course, you know the quarterback

[01:00:12] things. I mean Kirk cousins who Atlanta got a big contract. A man if you're a falcons fan and you saw how cheap that the steel was able to give just a few four.

[01:00:29] Are you a little upset right now? A conditional sixth round pick. That's it for the former number one guy. The bears got an additional amount of up to five. There's not come enough for the tornado.

[01:00:45] Yeah. And I'm mentally talented. God too. I mean, yeah, that's I mean granted that I guess Kirk's got the offense you want and they certainly got the play they went out and got, they traded their

[01:01:01] back on quarterback to they traded Desmond Ritter to the cardinals for Rhondale Moore, which means that they pair him with Drake London. They went and got a who to get Darnell Moody. Another Speedster, and of course you got you know Brian Robbins or not Brian Robbs and

[01:01:24] Be John Robbs and and you know Kyle Pitz. So you know maybe you know Kirk can finally get Kyle Pitz some stats. Oh, you remember the ball, yeah. Yeah, but yeah that's interesting. The Justin Fields when I saw that

[01:01:43] and I was hoping he wouldn't go to the Steelers at Team like that and then you know now they're going to let him battle it out with Russell Wilson for the starter. I see him out and Roddy and Roddy and Roddy and Roddy are

[01:01:53] going to be the starter and he's going to say they have him. Yeah. I saw a yesterday I don't know. I mean it seems to say that at Mark. Oh yeah, yeah. No and maybe it works out for him. Maybe

[01:02:05] Russkin. Yeah. Mentor. Mentor I'm a little bit and you know I mean we're supposed to towards the end of this career you know you know inspecting me along from thinking Pittsburgh you know it's kind

[01:02:19] of a divided of this career but I mean you're thinking with you know they went the Steelers went from the worst quarterback room in the NFL to pretty pretty solid one I'd say and based upon what

[01:02:35] Russ has been and you know the potential to adjust some fields and shown it times because the beef fair I mean Chicago wins the best most of his time there yeah he had his ups and downs but

[01:02:49] I mean that offense of mine was terrible the whole time he was there and you know I almost feel bad for a room you have to be quarterback coming along the water. It was name right now but it's you know just

[01:03:08] Caleb Williams. Caleb Williams you know what I mean what are the bears you mean they still have those options of why they're issues interesting enough I mean they do have on paper nice little wide receiver

[01:03:20] room now I just would have added a free agency there. But no yeah I mean if Keenan Island and D.J. that's a quite the tandem I got the Andre Swift and Chicago now so I mean could be interesting but

[01:03:44] I mean there's still a lot of questions and then a fan base of split I mean there was a lot of people they were ready and we'll want a lot of people who I just and there but overall I mean when Chicago

[01:03:56] wins a graveyard or a quarterbacks I mean yeah I mean yeah since roof I mean what Jim McMahon I mean I was even a great quarterback he just had a hell of a defense I mean he was

[01:04:12] yeah yeah solid great quarterback and Walter Peyton run about you I mean yeah one of the best defense of all time I mean I mean Jay color I mean he was but I mean then I mean Jay is a different

[01:04:27] dude but I mean put up the stats but yeah he'd never really got him over that home they got to a super bowl with Rex Grossman and I would we think about defense I mean the defense will sink

[01:04:39] that defense and then you had Devon Hester you know taken kick back you know yeah it's just been yeah that's interesting yeah from the outside I was just kind of me I was just I thought it was crazy

[01:04:56] that they were you know I thought Justin Fields really started playing well and I understand if you know he might have some limitations or if you think you can't develop him for the wall but

[01:05:08] you're just starting over again and you know these rookie quarterbacks are all a crapshoot and maybe obviously like we're not NFL scouts maybe K maybe Caleb Williams is can't miss in their eyes but

[01:05:20] you're you're starting over again and I mean he wanted to be a rookie contract no yeah and you see what they got for Fields nothing a conditional six round pat not even a real a conditional one

[01:05:36] you could have traded that number one pick and gotten yourself a boatload of picks or some more offensive line help yeah I just feel like that would have been a better path is keep trying to develop

[01:05:48] Fields it get a bunch of stuff the build of foundation and if he still doesn't work out then at least you have a great foundation build for whoever you get in next time but yeah elsewhere let's see

[01:06:04] what else we got going on a former cowboy Tony Paulard now Tennessee Titan the Titans they had an interesting little team going on there I mean they do get cabin ridley there yeah it's interesting

[01:06:25] I mean if I will let this ever I guess becomes what they expect them to be and we you know we never really thought he shall go into the times last year but on paper I mean that is a

[01:06:43] possible scary roster I mean you have what the I mean you have Tony Paulard is your main one in the I mean that why receiver room is stacked can you have the Andre Hopkins you

[01:07:00] I mean I've been ridley. Calvin Ridley I mean you have I mean the trailer birds could stay healthy I mean I was he guys go good enough about him that he was a replacement for AJ Brown

[01:07:14] I mean that's got a lot of talent in one and one and one and one system there on paper there I'll enter out some tend to want yeah let's see elsewhere interesting things

[01:07:34] I'm sure who did I see that thought was really interesting oh Mark East Brown Hollywood Brown former Raven and Cardinal now time with the chiefs and that's a guy that

[01:07:48] I hate that so much because that is exactly the guy that pat my homes and Andy Reed will use they they were probably unlocked his talent and he's a speedster a smaller guy very kind of tie-rekill mode of course not as fast nobody is but

[01:08:05] he gets anything like what is it all you and he showed flashes with it and Baltimore but if it's weird I read an interesting stat on him before he signed actually where the Cardinals and of course under Greg Roman

[01:08:19] of Baltimore they were throwing a hand like within three yards of Linus Grimmage I get some ungodly percentage is like this is guy that you send him deep you let him beat

[01:08:30] one and you get him in a right match up and you send him deep and I think Andy Reed and Pat my homes unlock that so I hate that a couple of Ravens going to rivals division rivals

[01:08:46] Patrick Queen signing contract with the Steelers of course the thing there is was this year a breakout year for him or was it a lot due to play next to Rokont Smith that's what they'll find out and Gino Smith what second and interceptions this year goes to Cincinnati

[01:09:11] so yeah you hate to see guys like that go to division rivals what do you think about the Cowboys it kind of lack of action for them so far right you know I mean I understand we didn't have that much money but in the money you can

[01:09:30] probably move around some of these teams restructure contracts so I want the back man just letting make it I understand you don't get people but it doesn't sound like we even made there maybe even the possible call or conversation on the Derek Henry said no one even

[01:09:49] reached out to him that's crazy you know you're probably then sorry we were made even reach out to folks officially yeah so I mean I don't know but you know we I can't even take it when the last time the Dallas beat him up with a splash of

[01:10:13] free agency it's been that long I mean we drafted well you want to I'm sorry you want to build some of that to the draft because I mean it's cheaper more efficient way to do it but yeah

[01:10:30] by the you know coming out of the terrible loss of the packers and then Jerry said hey yeah as yeah the old skip bailis tweet this week I don't know if you saw that

[01:10:50] why do you what's the good thing for my comment oh yeah was it or g3 i think said put that comment all the fame yeah yeah yeah yeah I thought one interesting trend that I saw this week

[01:11:08] a couple things one a lot of backup quarterbacks moving around we've already mentioned Kenny Pickett does my reader the commander sent sent Sam Halt to Seattle um I'm sorry James Davis is moving to James is in Cleveland now Joe Flacco's an Indianapolis

[01:11:31] not maybe that might be good for Anthony Richardson yeah yeah I'm very good because Joe does a good job of helping the young guys yeah the James one that's maybe not on the field but culturally

[01:11:46] that's a big loss for New Orleans they loved him there he really fit in with that vibe there so because I mean a lot people think he's a goofy but I mean genuinely a good thing back

[01:12:00] yeah it doesn't care actor but I think I'm why he general get paid good hard as guy would just like to have fun everybody doesn't get that and they think you fool here take but

[01:12:11] I don't know how David he's like are you doing this in the lock we just sure let's see some other interesting stuff deontae Johnson traded to Carolina from Pittsburgh that gives Bryce young a good number one yeah another weapon um I thought the chargers were an interesting

[01:12:32] team to look at because Austin Eccler is now on Washington they traded you mentioned keen in Allen to yeah to the bears and they released Mike Williams too I mean there's a chance they could sign him back

[01:12:44] but uh and I don't think they signed anybody right they didn't replace Eccler or and they did such interesting to see what you know Jimmy Harball is doing over there um some of it I mean

[01:12:58] hey I get somebody because I mean yeah one was the last time many of those guys I mean when they're all on the field it's X one play I mean those guys played a whole see their I mean all of

[01:13:12] things like two or three or outer at least one or the three I mean a lot of talent to guys but man they cannot stay healthy for a reason I don't know if that's just bad luck if they

[01:13:29] they're training as bad if they're training a little what's that right yeah interesting enough so let's see what what he does um how about I want to dot some I want to dot uh I want to

[01:13:44] to keep the least yeah yeah yeah yeah and of course there's still a lot of free ages out there of course I mentioned it but then it really talking about the Ravens signing

[01:14:00] Derek Henry of course I love that Ravens fan um love the Baltimore guys I think it's a great pick up I think he'll he's he's not going to be like he wasn't Tennessee where he's the the

[01:14:13] he hasn't yeah he doesn't have to be he can he can take his work load off and of course I think I talked about this some last week too the rumors um that's one hellacious read option

[01:14:27] for defenses to deal with between Lamar Jackson and Derek Henry I think was it pat McFear or someone on the espionage this week called it it's like a mad in uh you play yeah yeah yeah

[01:14:43] you're at the five you're at mine and you're looking at Lamar you're looking at Derek Henry like exactly um yeah he gets into behind yeah exactly he's going to he's going to he's going to have

[01:14:58] help you know like Keaton Mitchell the the breakout rookie for them last year just springs completely different dynamic grin you know he is coming off a ACL injury and I think what was that early

[01:15:10] December so he might not be 100% next year but that's still hell of a thunder lightning they have just as hill who did have his breakout season you know former Oklahoma State star and he's a

[01:15:22] speedster and kind of a receiving back in his own right and I'm sure the old dress that in the draft too and they still some work to do on their offensive line and all that too but uh as far as my

[01:15:34] feelings on that as a Ravencinn of course love it absolutely love it um no he's not 2019 Derek Henry you know but he doesn't need to be 20 but even 2020 for a day Henry I mean

[01:15:48] as people want to say he would dial my assures so I'm out for $1500 I believe so yeah he was still second and a leak and led the leak and carries um yeah and so they they'll take that off and

[01:16:00] that's pressure will not be on him to carry the offense issue so I think that I help a lot I think I'll probably get a little bit more involved in the passing game under Todd Munkin too so

[01:16:10] that'd be interesting um of course they still got some a lot of fixes and they're off into line um let's see what did I want to move on to oh guys still available there's a lot of interesting

[01:16:26] names still in the market at Chase Young a young past-rusher has shown flashes a lot he was a top pick some injuries you know he did play 15 games or last season so maybe he's hopefully

[01:16:43] but that behind him he's about he's only 25 so still a lot of football left for him that's just interesting one uh trip brown of course big offensive tackles out there saving howard we mentioned

[01:16:58] Mike Williams a lot of good offensive line men still out there jadavian clowning coming off at great year of the ravens he's still a very guy that can still get it done yeah stuff on Gilmore

[01:17:14] Ryan Tanna Hill still available that's a veteran quarterback that you know maybe some rebuilding team could use to uh Odo Beckham's still a free agent Tyler Boyd on their rinfro DJ shark Michael Thomas Michael Gallup a lot of interesting receivers still out there too

[01:17:34] uh my Dallas I mean he's a good I mean he's got almost where here but man he's a is a good idea I like them in Dallas I mean I understand they weren't gonna palm where the commands at this point right me but yeah I mean someone's gonna

[01:17:58] he's gonna be my special direct price yeah yeah anything else in a free agency that you wanted to hit on no no if we cover the lot of it I mean it came and hit fast I mean I was going to sell the same

[01:18:22] as for the I mean they don't let you know where he bite him they're on their own shot I mean it's in T.A. time no we're talking brackets and then I feel like so yeah yeah yeah yeah look at this

[01:18:33] we're gonna still have one they conference time of a week and then I felt and hey guys some pay attention that you know cause you could be so quick yeah yeah yeah so yes like I said

[01:18:49] still some interesting names out there and of course the draft coming up at the end A.B. so let's see moving on real quick NBA this week nothing huge your mafics big win today over

[01:19:01] the nuggets yeah kind of carry with a little hook shot yeah the bus are to win the the interesting thing coming out this week is the NBA release and report or at least

[01:19:13] report getting out that there was a directive for the rest to crack down kind of after the Austro-Break and it's why we've seen such a decrease in scoring from that just high octane

[01:19:27] first half of the season yeah when the scoring numbers are up and pretty much a reaction from everybody out there's why the scoring is great we love the scoring yeah I don't know when once I

[01:19:41] watch it 87 that 74 game you know we want to see those 132s the 120 and something and we're very noticeable very noticeable I mean you look at you could even like today's

[01:19:56] core I mean the mavericks game I mean you look at you look at the mavericks game you look at like be 107 105 I mean you would think that was the one way crazy than that yeah I mean you look at like

[01:20:14] yeah and just people's numbers just what they put up as far as points I mean you know Lucas scoring gone down tremendously I mean some of these private big things I've been noticing

[01:20:29] and kind of I started looking at the under some because I think folks have been for the junta I've been a little under but yeah I mean I get it but you are looking at it too

[01:20:46] the old has a complaint about these things they're gonna watch for guys because they've been watching MBA for 34 years this they might complain but those are people they're gonna watch yeah the people of the because the casual people are the ones that bringing

[01:21:10] new income and you know the little star power and everything like that that's a lot more you know people are part of a social media generation that just be good saying they want to see

[01:21:24] these the big times point you know they don't care about you know all back in the 90s people played up a great different general care about that yeah I mean I'll need to know a complaint about

[01:21:36] because that's natural you know everything looks so great when you're younger it music or just remember that you know yeah um yeah and another thing great defense isn't just about low score and sometimes great defenses about stepping up in big moments you know making

[01:21:58] the play turns the game around yeah you know we've seen that yeah we've seen that happen a football now with scoring on the rise you know and defense they've adjusted it's not so much

[01:22:10] about like oh you got a whole team to under 10 points I mean that's of course that's great shut out's a great but it's about making for centernovers making key stops you know and so

[01:22:20] holds the same thing in basketball exactly in basketball you know you know don't let them get offensive rebounds you know you know affect their shots you know take their 3.7 away whatever it is

[01:22:33] you know make the stop in the big moment you know that you need to but um yeah I just wanted to touch on that as far as everything else you know there are things pretty standard you know

[01:22:44] my pills have been red hot making a run there have creep creeping up on the clippers a big wind over them the other night they're game and a half behind them for the foreseed and two and a half

[01:22:55] game top on points and good ball racing oh he has balling out so you know looking good your maps are right there on that line they're technically tied with the kings the kings on the

[01:23:08] tiebreaker for that six seed Dallas fighting to get out that play in tournament you know it's just good to beat a good team because you know against those teams I can better get the dealing

[01:23:23] far flat you know go closer at the end there but hey good to get that win because you should those games leave far flat you know so with how many plays you know like their self-care some

[01:23:36] we played out of teams that are supposed to top cheer to league just just see how we match up and they hasn't been a pretty aside I'm gonna happy with that wind there I mean you know as March is when you

[01:23:49] when I start more or less and I think a lot of people start taking an MBA a lot more serious because we're getting into that part where games are really stormy count you know there's season engine

[01:24:03] in Zen April you know it's not you can't lose that many games because it's easy as we've seen you could go you can move from guaranteed in the playoff to buy him from their tits flat real quick

[01:24:20] into where yeah it's a is a dangerous game yeah if you get on a run you're gonna make some moves like I said like the pelis you know seven out there last 10 and they if you know they're comfortable

[01:24:35] but you can't stop like you said you slip up you go on a quick three game one in straight you could find yourself down five seeds you know I mean you look at it between I mean six six and ten and the MBA is making neck

[01:25:00] I mean you have the lake of the 36 and 32 you have the 10 seed in Sacramento 308 I mean you see not great great difference and so I mean it's a big difference between being that six feet in playing a possible two elimination games and against great teams and

[01:25:25] and one game situation I'm not I don't want to see you know I agree it's talked about I mean I don't want to see the bond I don't want to see stuff I want to see KD and that

[01:25:36] elimination yeah maybe even Luca be that's a dude we know conduct 50 or the quickness are Kyrie and a women making it 50 and a triple double you know like I don't like any of those people I don't want to see like doing anything and everything

[01:25:54] to get to that six seed fighting claw anything to start a possible one game of elimination scenario with all of your talent is gonna be in that game let's see elsewhere just some quick hitters from the world so it's a women's tournament

[01:26:17] of course at bracket got announced tonight too you're one seed South Carolina of course Iowa USC in Texas are your one seed there the Alabama women are the eight seed in the playing Florida state in the Texas region another chance for Alabama social media to

[01:26:38] troll Florida state I don't know if you call it this week yeah if you're unfamiliar listeners this week Alabama softball knocked off Florida state in that the Alabama Twitter account said can't blame this one on the committee um excellent that this top tier trolling

[01:27:01] and I expect more of the same should the the ladies beat Florida state in that a eight line matchup and like we said they would go on to play probably Texas

[01:27:13] I don't has there ever been a 16 seed win in the women's side at game I don't think their has no it's what the favor even though yeah something I thought today like one their one through three seeds

[01:27:31] I like five losses all time for something the women's time is in their first round like I mean they're still you know you're seeing a lot of teams get better and you know

[01:27:44] I get to check in you know like the way you know that you feel but it's still the big difference between your top tier and the rest of the country you know there's not nearly a special

[01:28:01] profound upsets that are like me so there actually has been a one 1998 Harvard upset Stanford but uh interest yeah interesting enough no 15 or 14 seed has ever won in the women's game yeah so uh it's interesting you're on the main side at three 14's become in the

[01:28:28] more consistent thing all the time for two 15's this happens not as consistent but we've seen it I mean of course last year it was all I was a two in most

[01:28:40] it's probably just becoming more of a thing but yeah but you look at yeah some of those numbers you were talking about so the lowest seed to ever win a title in the women's game is three

[01:28:57] that's it three seed that you're low seed the lowest seed to ever reached the title game is five the lowest seed to ever reach the final four is just nine that was also in 1998 Arkansas um it's crazy so yeah the lowest seed you know a no seed above

[01:29:19] lower than 11 has ever even made the lead eight so yeah and not many times as they even made the second weekend if you look at this checkin with this articles from two this is from the

[01:29:34] year so up to date if you're looking at this only that's season 10 11 times and the women's tournament history has a team seeded 10 or lower made the second weekend wow so yeah that's something

[01:29:50] to think if you're filling out a women's bracket this week that's something to think about a lot of chocolate really um a lot of times really uh i guess it most interesting part that everybody's been

[01:30:04] talking about when this is actually a little bit of course it's gonna be talking about the process that uh get uh let's you and I will be the same bracket they are indeed

[01:30:20] the are in the same bracket they're of course out of the last year um they wouldn't play until be a lead eight but i mean that's interesting to back to be a get that could be a bit of a game

[01:30:37] and then an original um so somebody someone's not going to the final four out of those two powerhouses um of course it's too seeding that bracket and you see a later that had to

[01:30:50] have a good season but so that i mean that probably the biggest news out of that you know i would expect uh i would guess if you i need a stop car line up probably is gonna run through

[01:31:07] their bracket yeah uh that's who's stopping them right um i mean you gotta think about i mean everybody can still do such a monumental escape i mean i mean i mean i mean you can see it but it

[01:31:20] lasts to uh you know i would team it was where i also had one seed last year there's a monument of what's in there people were shocking all of it i was long you know they were able to beat

[01:31:31] up yeah my it was going day reverse the glide but i would literally want to you know so um but yeah it's interesting it should be a fun uh yeah from from tournament from the women's side too

[01:31:49] and now i'm looking forward to that yeah um let's see elsewhere quick little news and notes uh some big coaching fire in this week uh Joanne Howard out at Michigan um Jerry Stachhouse out at Vanderbilt

[01:32:10] also that's one of those uh age humbling things when you hear two guys that you grow up watching play now you know well into their coaching career she's like oh that's right i'm getting

[01:32:21] help uh let's see yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah like two pro hero basketball towers Michigan and Louisville ball working at crack coach

[01:32:36] has and it's gonna be crazy and another you know UCLA still struggling to reclaim their uh glory you know they they've been struggling for a while too um yeah i mean

[01:32:50] had the big run of few years ago yeah yeah i mean it went to the final quarter of course we know first hand maybe that's number three 16 you know they they've been good on the cronin but

[01:33:02] if this pasture was awful i mean once all that once I a little bunch of people uh the dude is in my amy now rea they fell apart this year right it's tough uh tough season for the broins aren't in

[01:33:19] the best both sides so yeah yeah they're definitely a team i mean i've just fallen in i mean he's done enough they're just at least one more year but yeah he has anything like you did this year

[01:33:32] it'll probably be looking as well um and then some of my coaches uh you see the long beat stake coach got fired on Monday and then when the conference tournament so when the conference tournament

[01:33:46] taken so yeah that that's that's good leverage for your next job on i guess uh or maybe a reversal decision who knows how do you yeah i don't know i think if you've been fired you kind of just

[01:34:01] go on i mean yeah but i don't think you won't have returned right yeah like you're instantly yeah you're instantly on the hot seat um yeah no i mean it's kind of over but i mean as

[01:34:16] there's wild in itself you know the man there last with five uh five and the regular season but they were able to put together and pull pulled off the conference tournament last last night there

[01:34:28] and lumbi state um cover we've been around for a while i mean you was uh another like emzaghi coach when they went on their original runback when they be floored and everything went to the lea

[01:34:38] when crazy one and then i mean like me i mean um but yeah so that's crazy in the sub but yeah a lot of big school of looking for coaches uh on the basketball side you know Michigan really

[01:34:54] built i mean that's something big name programs at it uh yeah we uh signate they didn't have money because uh mm mm mm yeah i mean those are two programs that are better be going pretty seriously

[01:35:09] i would say the you're back to what they are especially Louisville i mean that's just a basketball school and for them to be down the last couple of season like they are i mean i know that doesn't

[01:35:20] sit well oh no yeah someone yeah someone who lived in Louisville for a year you know uh no they I know they're hot i know some people you know talking to them all mine and stuff there just

[01:35:36] not happy with the state um state of that program and and you even mentioned in earlier and the other program you know Kentucky even though they're a little bit you know haven't fallen on

[01:35:48] hard times it's been what 10 to 11 years of that a title now so they're still they're itching now um maybe i remember when i was uh we go down to the SEC tournament when Kentucky which is one of the

[01:36:03] things um in your friends we're back then we're complaining that you know they were only being in South Carolina by 40 yeah I mean that's but you know they said that same mentality so i can only

[01:36:17] imagine how they're doing i mean you gotta think about all of them if i'm a fan of them the last two years without a national title uh with a national title appearance here and it's not like

[01:36:30] their world was falling to so many people can you imagine going to decade oh well you're gonna get coach i make saving you know i'm saying my exactly yeah like saving when that a decade without

[01:36:43] a title i mean that's just kind of i mean and there's no i mean that's the most comparable situation for us with the expectation dark in second okay lesson the championship is what you know

[01:36:57] yeah we knew it from i mean last year there were talks at calipari i mean there were talks early this year they might be on the hot seat you know but that's John calipari that's one of the best

[01:37:07] coaches in college basketball history certainly of our generation too of our lifetime yeah it's insane but interesting enough like they were talking um i'm still shouldn't show them

[01:37:18] this and they had to be snick on of course he won the title when the 98 i mean he had it in incredible running Kentucky uh and you know they were so they were ready to get rid of them every season

[01:37:31] of season like that's well there's just a and probably you know there's just one of those fan bases yeah that's just yeah uh yeah quick before we go um some interesting thing and one

[01:37:49] prediction article here on ESPN actually has alibamago into the elite eight before lost to Arizona and what would be a rematch uh and being yeah interesting uh amazing um and then the top odds

[01:38:08] for national championship or as follows uh ucon of course the top favorite plus 400 and then following them some interesting lists so Houston then Purdue and then Arizona actually has better odds than North Carolina and then after North Carolina Auburn um 16 to one odds them and i was

[01:38:31] state right there and uh Tennessee also same odds so again your top eight favorite teams according to Vegas you con Houston Purdue or Arizona North Carolina Auburn and Iowa State and Tennessee so again do with that information what you will when filling out your brackets but um

[01:38:51] i mean a couple of those i mean i i won't do it uh can't but you know playing money on a team like Auburn or UNC even any of those teams with 15 16 to one odds that's uh Tennessee we we we said it at

[01:39:09] points this year the Tennessee looked like a legit final four team um and i mean they still do i mean they have to tough out against the state i mean yeah the conference tournament's really tricky

[01:39:26] as we said just because you know you see the state would plan for the life so there on the different level Tennessee's i mean it came in yeah they could have got the ones to but realistically

[01:39:41] from you what's the other the privacy in your one seat is there that much difference in the one in it too not all I mean thank you to these come out as a one of their region when they

[01:39:55] were the one or the two Tennessee's friend if that's Paul the sanctities we do that so i mean that i mean but yeah i mean i guess that is kind of shocking the North Carolina would still be below

[01:40:11] the people i mean i've seen a lot of people on the CBS show and there's some of the the sp and back to all of your life you can have Arizona coming out of that division and you know

[01:40:24] that western state of Carolina i mean in the where is that a west regional said Washington no that's where we're playing i mean that's that's a home for your son yeah it's an easy trip there and

[01:41:03] then of course the final four being played in state two so motivation for the wild cats to you know play a final four yeah and their home stays yes yeah yeah never be right

[01:41:18] yeah so something another something to think about there um i think i think a Greg and lesser something we missed you when it's touched on i think we've probably covered it all

[01:41:30] we've probably lost a lot of time there uh i was happy as far as out of them it's fortunate to just out i'm a baseball team uh in the big old man that's the sweet weekend victor series went over

[01:41:44] Tennessee that huge program as far as open up the season like that um that's a thing that separated us from being an okay team to a very lead level is leading the top sp teams

[01:41:58] there and a weekend series so hey if we're at that time the weather season my brain hey would be a professional one still early of course the battle was great to see us get to a three

[01:42:08] day uh no yeah for sure um yeah as you mentioned this was the opening weekend of conference play um so that's that's great that's huge uh huge huge yeah huge for the tide there

[01:42:26] because last year it was as well into the conference season before they won the series right um yeah we went my well you know the Sunday we might get us out of the day yeah we didn't win too many

[01:42:40] full um obviously i don't think we won any full conference weekend series so after the old again but still the gambling thing yeah until the team turned it on late um yeah i don't think we did

[01:42:54] yeah um the uh i believe they they the the softball team took a series from Georgia too didn't there they least got a game we got a game today but yeah yeah we're it went pretty uh i mean i

[01:43:12] got a run road um one of the game we got right here decided we got run mode but we won today i mean not a bad week i mean Georgia's a pretty talented team i mean to get bit i mean both it

[01:43:30] SEC baseball on softball season is just in got one in itself i mean you're gonna play i want you to see like every if not every weekend every other week in your plan or

[01:43:43] rank opponents i mean there's no we're off the SEC on either side there so i mean so you said a lot to play for yeah and it started for a little slower but i mean

[01:43:58] still the same that i guess whether i've been fast it proud that my softball is hitting yeah he didn't score runs yeah for four square ones and that's not gonna

[01:44:09] serve you well my term in the SEC especially when you don't have an ace like you did last year Montana songs has gone yeah and we're not you know we're not able to contain as many

[01:44:22] other teams like she was able to do yeah so rough start the SEC play for the time they also lost their first SEC series to Florida same way too yeah same way lost a close one Friday night

[01:44:37] blown out Saturday or second game and then when the yeah when the final so we'll see next up for them they get a couple of in-state teams this week and midweek they get sampled and the new AB and then they play Virginia Tech next weekend they little

[01:44:56] and then Mississippi Valley State before resuming SEC play at the end of the month say play Kentucky yeah good little time there milk some some camaraderie and some momentum get some momentum going for you back into the calendar which is the SEC yeah but yeah okay so
