SportsTranscript
00:00So I do think that mid-majors are dying where it's like,
00:03hey, this team has been playing together for four years.
00:05This guy's the all-time leading scorer at the school, blah, blah, blah.
00:08If you have one good year, you are going to go rightfully get paid.
00:12What NIL was supposed to do, correct me if I'm wrong,
00:14was like, hey, Braxton Miller has 40,000 jerseys
00:19in the stands of Ohio Stadium on Saturday,
00:22and he makes $0.0 from it.
00:24A 20% cut of it, yeah.
00:26That was what it was supposed to be for.
00:28How it's to get kids, it's not even going to keep the Cooper flags
00:32and the Concanipples in college.
00:34They're going to go make their $20 million, $40 million in the NBA.
00:37It's getting people like fifth, six-year seniors
00:41to get to stick around for another $2 million
00:43before they have to go fucking sell cars somewhere.
00:48All righty, it's the Rundown, Monday, March 24th.
00:51I'm joined by Vibs and Riggs.
00:53Obviously, we're going to talk ball today.
00:55Riggs, this is your Rundown debut, if I'm not mistaken.
00:59I've been on a Rundown once,
01:01and it was Dave saying I belong in jail
01:05after Kentucky lost to that Zion Duke team
01:08by like 150 to open the season,
01:11because he heard me in the office, the old HQ2,
01:14say I liked Kentucky that night, so he bet it.
01:18Yeah, not great, not great.
01:19Hopefully, this Rundown ends with me not in jail.
01:22All right, well, today's your redemption, then.
01:24Before we get going,
01:25we are brought to you by Jackpocket today.

01:51All right, I'm assuming you guys both
01:53watched ball quite literally the entire weekend.
01:57Riggs, we'll start with you, our resident ball knower.
01:59What are your overall thoughts on the opening weekend?
02:02I think the big stories would be
02:04St. John's is the only two seed that is gone.
02:08Duke looks excellent.
02:10And then really a whole lot of not madness, I would say.
02:15Yeah, for me personally, it's a real kick in the dick
02:18to see Cal beat Patino at Arkansas
02:20and then Duke look awesome.
02:22Just two schools I wanted to flame out completely.
02:25It does suck not to have the Patino storyline, right?
02:28Like anybody that's been around college basketball
02:31to watch college basketball this year,
02:33the Patino storyline,
02:34if he would have made a run to the Final Four for sure,
02:37even to the second weekend,
02:39we're getting another week of Patino.
02:41And that's better for the sport.
02:43You get it with Calipari, obviously.
02:47So from the new standpoint, it's good, I guess.
02:51You know, I obviously didn't want to see Calipari
02:53succeed at all this year.
02:54They're on life support for 85% of the year.
02:58Yeah, Duke looks awesome as much as I want them to.
03:00I still think Duke's hateable.
03:02I know, you know, I've heard Titus, I've heard Big Cat,
03:05I've heard everyone else talk about
03:06how this Duke team's not hateable.
03:09They still have Duke across their chest.
03:12It's very easy to hate Duke.
03:15You're an Indiana fan.
03:16You see me wearing Kentucky.
03:17You hate Kentucky.
03:19I hate them, I hate them.
03:20It doesn't matter that we're like
03:21this scrappy underdog now all of a sudden.
03:23Right, Calipari's not on the sideline
03:25and I still hate him just as much.
03:27Just seeing Kentucky.
03:28I had Troy in the bracket busters.
03:30I know, I saw that.
03:30So watching the seven-foot Kentucky players
03:33that are getting paid a million dollars
03:35to beat up on this Sunbelt Conference team,
03:38oh, it was just disgusting.
03:39And them talking shit
03:41and then doing this to the Troy players,
03:43it pissed me off.
03:44But hey, Kentucky fans, they're making videos
03:47about getting past the first round,
03:48so that's awesome.
03:49Good for them.
03:49It's been, listen, when you're at Kentucky
03:52and you haven't seen the second weekend
03:54since 2019, you run Calipari out of town.
03:57Yeah, we beat a mid-major.
04:00We haven't done that in three years.
04:03I do not blame you.
04:04I saw you post that and I was laughing,
04:06but I was in the office the other day
04:08and I was like, I would cut my hands off
04:10for Indiana to make it to the Sweet 16.
04:12The Sweet 16!
04:13They haven't been to the tournament
04:14like seven out of nine years.
04:15It's crazy.
04:16There is.
04:17I don't blame you.
04:18There is something.
04:20You guys have both, Ohio State and Indiana,
04:21you guys have experienced this
04:23at least in your life.
04:25There is something about
04:25getting out of the first round
04:27or the first weekend as a fan
04:29and getting the four to five days
04:31of just rehashing what happened,
04:35talking to your buddies like,
04:36hey, what's the plan for the Sweet 16?
04:39Analyzing everything.
04:41That four to five day gap
04:42that we have coming up,
04:43if you're one of the 16 teams that advance,
04:46that's arguably the best part of the season.
04:49Yep. I agree.
04:50It's the anticipation, the hype around it.
04:52It's fun to be a fan.
04:54Riggs is out here talking
04:55about the second weekend, Vibs,
04:56and we just, I mean, Vibs,
04:58you got shafted by the committee.
05:00Is that impacting your tournament,
05:03your excitement for the tournament at all?
05:05Or are you still just as usual?
05:09Just as usual.
05:09And we've been so bad for like,
05:11like I said, we haven't made it
05:12seven in the last nine years
05:13that it's like, all right,
05:14this is what usually happens.
05:15But the Hoosiers sucked
05:17in the first three fourths of the season.
05:20So it's like, all right,
05:21the Hoosiers screwed the Hoosiers.
05:22So I'm not, I'm not too mad about it.
05:25I mean, the Big Ten,
05:27it shows that Indiana
05:29probably should have been in there.
05:30The Big Ten's dominated.
05:31But yeah, whatever.
05:33We got it. We got our guy.
05:34I'm excited.
05:35I had to sit by Dave this weekend
05:37as he reminded me over and over again
05:40that the Big Ten should be cheering
05:41for the Big Ten here.
05:43But Vibs, we are first to the transfer portal.
05:45The transfer portal officially opens today.
05:47Riggs is out here
05:48preparing for a sweet 16 game.
05:51And we're going to be loading up for next year.
05:53Yeah.
05:55We got, we got, is it Devries?
05:57We got his, his, his son coming,
05:59who's apparently a stud
06:00and he might be Big Ten player of the year.
06:02So I'm getting my hopes up already
06:05for next March.
06:06So it's going to be great.
06:07I can't wait.
06:08Do you guys have any takes on this aura kid
06:10before we move on from the opening weekend?
06:13I like them.
06:14Like it's, it's so dumb,
06:16but it's perfect for college sports.
06:17It's the fact that we didn't have the crazy upsets.
06:21We didn't have, like,
06:24there were maybe three or four players
06:26that went nuts at, like,
06:28Bennett Sturtz in the first round from Drake.
06:30You didn't have, like, the, the St. Peter's story.
06:33Goalkeeper, DJ, you didn't have any of these other guys.
06:36So he became the story
06:37because McNeese was the only major upset.
06:41And it's like, you cash in on your 15 minutes of fame.
06:45That's exactly what he did.
06:47I don't blame him.
06:48I blame everyone else
06:49because there was nothing else to really talk about.
06:51Like the attention all went to him.
06:54You know, it's one of those,
06:56it's just so dumb.
06:58And it's, it's the world we live in now
07:00where people just are going to hate
07:01on anything and everything.
07:02The moment it gets big.
07:05And yeah, like the cut-ins were a little too much,
07:08especially when they're down, like, 25 to Purdue.
07:12But I don't blame the kid one bit for cashing in.
07:14Like, you're a manager.
07:15Get that, get six figure deals if you can.
07:18Yeah, yeah.
07:20It's, it's like when a good song goes on the radio
07:22and they just play it over and over again.
07:24It's like, it's not the band's fault
07:26that their song is awesome and it's getting played.
07:28I like the kid.
07:29You gotta have, you gotta have a manager
07:31that's a glue guy and keeps the team together.
07:32So I, I appreciate it.
07:34But it's not his fault for it getting too big.
07:36And the team seemed to enjoy it.
07:38Like McNeese players celebrated with him.
07:40So it wasn't, you know, I saw a lot of people
07:41who were like, why are they like, why are they,
07:43why was the focus on, on Amir Khan, the players?
07:46And it's like, they go to the locker room
07:47and the players are dousing him with water.
07:50Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
07:51I, I, the kid is nice.
07:54You listen to the kid talk.
07:55He doesn't have like a selfish bone in his body.
07:57My problem is, is that the media
07:59has given him so much attention
08:01that I fucking hate the kid now.
08:03That's, yeah.
08:04Yeah, he's, he's, they won one game.
08:07The sister Jean thing was interesting
08:08because they made it to the final four.
08:10And it's like, okay, they won.
08:12And then they won.
08:13And then they did what Riggs said,
08:14where you make it to the next weekend.
08:15So you talk about it all week.
08:16And then they won again.
08:18And then they won again.
08:19And then you get to talk about it all week.
08:21We are so starved for like something quirky
08:25and something interesting.
08:26And this kid's funny.
08:28Let the record show that they made it to the round of 32
08:32and then got waxed in the first game of the,
08:34of the round of 32.
08:36I will say I would have turned on him
08:38if they made it out of here.
08:40Because all I can remember with sister Jean
08:41is that the final four of the press conference
08:44where there's a million media people in front of her
08:46and like one local beat reporter
08:48in front of like their best players doing interviews.
08:51And like the moment that would have happened
08:53is when I was like, all right, that's enough.
08:55But for one weekend, like now, now it's gone.
08:58Now it's gone.
08:59It's not gone Riggs.
09:00Wait, listen Riggs.
09:02It's not gone because now he is going to
09:05that.
09:06I love that move.
09:07Honestly, more than anything else,
09:09putting a manager into the transfer portal
09:11and getting like the graphics saying he's moving on.
09:15That makes me laugh just because of how stupid it is.
09:18Again, good, good for him.
09:19And he's getting paid.
09:20I already made six figures off two days of work
09:23or whatever.
09:23Great for him.
09:24Now he gets to be a celebrity at NC state.
09:28He's going to be at college basketball next year.
09:31Can your eligibility as a student manager run out?
09:33Obviously you got to be a student there,
09:35but if you're a student there for years,
09:38they gave him a job.
09:41He's a grad, a graduate assistant
09:43at like a high level D one school like this.
09:46And I'm not even talking about like Duke or North Carolina.
09:48I'm talking about NC state.
09:51People work for years, almost like a decade.
09:54And then go back and they're like, hey,
09:55I finally made it to be a grad assistant
09:57at this type program.
09:59We gave it to this kid.
10:00All right, I'm fired up too much.
10:02Uh, now that he's not a student manager,
10:04it's not as fun.
10:05It's like, uh, all right, this is your job.
10:09It's like, yeah, my jobs.
10:11I do weird shit on the internet.
10:13It's like, yeah, how old are you?
10:17All right, let's, uh, let's move on.
10:19It's more specific topics from within the weekend
10:21of March madness.
10:22This is all ball today, boys.
10:24I think the number one,
10:25well, there was two interesting things
10:26that happened yesterday.
10:27We're going to start with the Maryland buzzer beater
10:29slash travel gate.
10:31Um, for those of you that haven't seen it,
10:34everyone in the world has seen it,
10:35but basically Colorado state plays great against Maryland.
10:39Uh, Maryland comes back,
10:40Colorado state hits a big shot.
10:41Maryland gets the ball.
10:42When we finally have our moment
10:44for a buzzer beaters type situation,
10:47Derek queen, incredible freshmen goes to the left,
10:51puts one off the glass buzzer beater goes crazy.
10:54I don't know if anyone in America in real time
10:57said it was a travel,
10:58but then you know how college basketball is.
11:01We go to the replay.
11:02We slow it down.
11:03We start to determine when did he pick it up?
11:06What happened?
11:07And now I would say you've got more than half of America
11:10whining and moaning about the buzzer beater saying
11:12that was actually a travel rigs.
11:14What's your take?
11:16Listen, I'm a proud Maryland hater.
11:18I've hated them my entire life.
11:20The fact people are screaming walk
11:22and like Fanta had a great rant on it.
11:24It's my exact thought process.
11:27The fact people screaming walk,
11:30they are the worst people in the world
11:32because like you said,
11:33it is the one moment we've been waiting for.
11:35We've been screaming.
11:36We need a buzzer beater.
11:37We need a buzzer beater.
11:39We had Jalen Lake hit that massive three
11:41to give Colorado state the lead followed by that.
11:43It was a perfect March ending.
11:46And this is, it goes down to replay
11:49and Jean Starratore who I'm sick of.
11:52The whole fact that everyone is slowing it down
11:55and we do this in all the sports.
11:57Stop ruining the moment, right?
12:00Like every time you go back to when we were growing up
12:03and you had like Bryce Drew hitting that
12:05that game winner for Valpo celebrations immediately.
12:09There was no going to the monitor to look.
12:11It was everyone just celebrating and one team crying.
12:14We need to get back to that in sports.
12:15We need to get back to just being like
12:17that was fucking cool.
12:19Let it stand.
12:20Who cares about maybe a half a step
12:22when it had no impact on the play?
12:25Vibs.
12:25Yeah.
12:27Not to be like, well, I saw it in real time
12:31and I was like, I might've been in travel
12:33but I don't know the last second shot.
12:35I don't, I don't care.
12:38I just want it.
12:38I just want the memory of the last second.
12:40If you're the ref and you call the travel there
12:41it's just like, don't, don't take away our fun
12:44but in real time, if you watch that
12:46and you know ball, you're like, I have to travel.
12:49I don't think it is.
12:52Cause everyone's like all together
12:53and it's like, what college?
12:55And it wasn't, yeah, it's, it's, this is college.
12:58And I think like, I, sorry, I watched
13:00McKell Bridges had a game winning shot
13:03against Portland the other day.
13:05He took seven, eight steps and everyone's like, oh
13:08this is awesome.
13:09Last second shot at rules.
13:10And it's like, he was, he looked like a toddler
13:13running with a ball.
13:14Like it was awful.
13:15It sucked.
13:16This is a little different.
13:17It's, you know, it's a half a second, half a step
13:19but like, I don't know, man, that's it.
13:21That is a travel.
13:23I hate, I hate to be the guy that like, this is just
13:27I hope everyone's happy that started this replay culture
13:30this review culture
13:31because you cannot call that ever, ever
13:35at the end of the game.
13:36That is a good bucket.
13:37That is a buzzer beater.
13:38That's a great moment.
13:40But if you give me that video clip and give me the rules
13:44and you look at it, that is a travel.
13:47I'm not saying call it.
13:48I'm glad they didn't.
13:48I think shit would have burned down last night
13:51if they would have called travel.
13:52But Riggs, that it's like, it's the, it's the BYU game
13:57against Wisconsin.
13:58Was it where the kid swung his elbow
14:01and hit the dude in the nuts?
14:03I hate that.
14:04Not in the history of the world.
14:06Does that guy get ejected?
14:07In fact, I would say it was, if I'm watching
14:09it's a foul on the other guy for being in his space.
14:11And that's what you're taught.
14:12You're taught.
14:12You have your own space.
14:13And then they kicked him out of the game
14:15because you can slow it down to a
14:17to a minuscule speed and completely change everything.
14:20Anytime you can, you have to slow it down.
14:22Like this is my, we need to get rid of replay and review
14:25or like at least figure it out to like a VAR system
14:30or an extra official or a challenge system.
14:34College basketball is fucking ruined at the end of games
14:37because it takes 30 minutes to play one minute
14:39of game time between the fouls and all the reviews.
14:42Rest can't even make a call anymore.
14:43They just call out of bounds and immediately do this
14:46and it's aggravating as a fan.
14:48And I'm very much in the line of thinking like
14:51I don't care when the time of game is a foul is a foul.
14:54Like points worth a point at any time.
14:56It doesn't matter what or when
14:58but if you have to slow it down so much
15:00and people are still arguing, it's not worth it.
15:05It's just not worth it.
15:06Yeah. I'm, I'm, I'm fine with it.
15:08I'm fine with it.
15:09The call as it was that, that photo of a queen
15:14like going over the Colorado state player
15:16with just the hand is completely in his face
15:19and he just goes up perfectly, kisses it off the glass.
15:22It's a great moment.
15:23And we haven't had any in this tournament.
15:24So I was telling you
15:25It's what we needed.
15:26It's what we needed.
15:27We need it.
15:28Yeah. Colorado state advancing would have been the good story
15:30from like the mid-major or the non power school angle.
15:34But the fact that we had our moment of big shot
15:37followed by big shot at the buzzer.
15:39It's what that round meet.
15:41It's what this weekend needed.
15:42And the crab five stays alive.
15:44The crab five stays alive.
15:45It's, it's the greatest nickname that I've heard
15:47in sports in a long time.
15:49How about Derek queen?
15:50Just being like, give me the motherfucking ball.
15:52I love that big, big dick energy.
15:55He's and the fact like when they said like,
15:57where'd you get your conference from?
15:58It's like, I'm from Baltimore.
15:59Yeah. I'm from Baltimore.
16:00Yeah. Okay.
16:02Also the best, the best is, and this is kind of small,
16:05small market, my region,
16:07but Dan dockage has been calling Derek queen soft all season.
16:11What a soft prep player.
16:13Also, what is it?
16:14Mount Verity Academy has, if you were on that team,
16:18your team was basically in the, the sweet 16.
16:21Like they've dominated.
16:24But yeah, Dan dockage couldn't have been more wrong
16:25with that take.
16:26And that felt good.
16:27I enjoyed it.
16:27Indiana probably could have used them this year.
16:29A hundred bucks.
16:30I would, I would cut off my left hand to have had Derek queen,
16:33Derek queen and McNeely was supposed to,
16:36supposed to be there, but he left,
16:37which I wouldn't, I don't blame him for Hurley.
16:41Onto the next, the big story of coaching wise would be,
16:45obviously the two-time defending champion.
16:47Yukon Huskies went down.
16:49They went down with a fight too.
16:51They went down, you know, defending their, their title.
16:54They played the team that everyone thinks is the hottest
16:56team in the country right now.
16:57The sec tournament champion, the Florida Gators,
17:00and they took them all the way to the wire to the point where
17:03there was a time with like four minutes ago,
17:05five minutes ago where I thought Yukon was going to pull off
17:07the upset.
17:08They do not Florida.
17:09Walter Clayton was incredible.
17:10Florida wins the game.
17:12But then in the post game, our good friend,
17:15Danny Hurley gives everyone something to talk about as he's
17:18walking off the court and Baylor's they're getting ready to
17:21take out, uh, take onto the court for their next game.
17:24And he looks at them and he goes,
17:26I hope they don't fuck you.
17:27Like they fucked us Baylor.
17:41That clip gets out.
17:45And now we've got an all out internet war on our hands.
17:50Uh, what, what I want to hear your guys' take on the situation.
17:54Um, but I love it's Yukon versus the world right now.
17:57Riggs, I I'm defending Dan Hurley here.
18:02Like I, I love Dan Hurley.
18:04I am not a Yukon fan by any means,
18:06but I love what Dan Hurley brings to the sport.
18:09And it's not his fault that this went out when you're in the tunnel,
18:13right after a season ending loss.
18:15I think it's bullshit that he got taped and that went out.
18:18He wasn't saying it to the refs.
18:20He wasn't saying it out in public.
18:23I have been lucky enough to be back in the tunnel at games.
18:26And I have heard that from other current division one coaches.
18:30I heard it at a final four when, uh, let's just say,
18:34Auburn could maybe may or may not have gotten screwed at the
18:36whistle against Virginia.
18:38Guess what some of those guys were saying in the tunnel.
18:40It's the fact that everything is just recorded these days.
18:44I don't blame Hurley one bit.
18:45Now I, I don't, I question.
18:47I don't think that they got fucked by any means.
18:48Like they couldn't grab a rebound.
18:50They shot like shit.
18:52They didn't get fucked by the refs.
18:54Although you can make the case.
18:55He was right about Baylor and Duke because of the foul trouble.
18:57Baylor was in.
18:59I love that we have this college basketball is driven by coaches.
19:04It's a coach league.
19:06When you think of a school, you think of a coach.
19:08Because you get players for mostly four years at max.
19:11The fact that Dan Hurley is staying in college and pissing
19:15people off.
19:16He has the titles.
19:17He has all these.
19:19So like the, the perfect, I saw the tweet.
19:21It was like the duality of man, where this went viral as the
19:24same time as his clip from the interview with Tracy Wolfson
19:26was going viral of him crying.
19:28And it was just perfect.
19:30Dan Hurley and UConn fans yelling at everyone, everyone
19:34yelling at UConn fans.
19:36This is what makes college sports.
19:38And I thank Dan Hurley for saying, you know, we got fucked
19:42over by the refs, even though they didn't.
19:44It's what this sport needs.
19:45And again, I don't blame him.
19:46Like what?
19:48Stop recording everyone at all times.
19:50Can we just say that?
19:52That's fair.
19:52Vibs, what you got?
19:53I, I've seen a lot, like I was saying in the, in, in blogs
19:58and I saw big cat tweeted it where it's like, you need a
20:01coach who's a psychopath.
20:02Like all good coaches are crazy people who sleep in their
20:06office for, you know, 48 hours and don't go home to their
20:10family.
20:10And all they want to do is win.
20:12They're addicted to winning.
20:13And I get that.
20:16But on the other hand, no one wants to have a douchebag just
20:20like thrown in their face.
20:20Like Dan Hurley has some douchebag moments where he's
20:24just complaining and whining and crying and no one likes that.
20:27And I saw Jack Mack posted.
20:28He's like, there's coaches that have done way worse.
20:31Like, yeah, you got your, your crisp beards and your patinos
20:33for sure, but they're doing it behind closed doors and it's
20:36not really talked about.
20:37Dan Hurley is just like on camera and interviews and it's
20:40getting shoved down our throat that he's crying.
20:42And I love all these players and, and fuck the refs.
20:45They're going to fuck you.
20:46And I got two rings to the student section in Creighton
20:50and it just gets shoved down your throat and no one wants to
20:52have a douchebag just thrown in their face.
20:55Also, people were like comparing him to Bobby Knight.
20:58Bobby Knight wasn't crying.
20:59He was just hitting kids.
21:00And that's, that's what the fucking, the, the good old days
21:04were about good old fashioned hitting kids.
21:09Yeah.
21:11It's good for the sport.
21:12You got to have a heel, but people are going to hate him
21:16because yeah, no one wants a douchebag done in their face.
21:19It is so good for college basketball that Dan Hurley's
21:21in the sport.
21:22I fucking love the guy because he's just, he's constant
21:26drama, constant entertainment.
21:28It's like professional wrestling out there.
21:30I have, I have no problem with, with Dan Hurley.
21:33Like if he's going to two rings ball to you when he wins
21:36and then he's going to, Hey, the refs fucked us.
21:38And I hope they don't fuck you.
21:41They lost in the Maui invitational three times.
21:43And his takeaway was I'm never coming back.
21:47These tournaments are bad.
21:48He is professional wrestling at its finest.
21:52I have no problem with him.
21:53I'm glad he's in the sport.
21:54It's all it's when he does something good and he,
21:56and he brags about it.
21:58We talk about it when he whines and complains.
22:00When he loses, we talk about it.
22:02He, he goes off on boxing out during Maui, you know, that
22:06his team does it so well and rebound so well.
22:08And then yesterday they don't box out twice at the end
22:11of the game on free throws.
22:12And he loses the game because of it.
22:14He's just constant entertainment.
22:15The only people that I have a problem with right now
22:18are Yukon fans can't see that.
22:21Like the Yukon fans right now are saying, how is he the
22:24heel when you've got, you know, what was it?
22:27Chris Beard with the wife situation.
22:29You've got Rick Pitino with the sex ring or whatever it was.
22:33And you've got Bruce Pearl with the whole feds.
22:37Yeah.
22:38That's not something that like on the day-to-day basis, like
22:42we're going to go out there and talk about, and I hate this
22:45guy and know he's entertaining.
22:47Dan Hurley is fun to cheer for and fun to hate.
22:51Then you've mentioned the baldy thing that as a bald man,
22:55if he, if a bald man, like Dan Hurley called me baldy,
22:58that's the meanest thing I've ever heard.
23:00It's fucking hilarious.
23:01That hits so much harder.
23:03It's like a fat person coming up to you and being like bibs.
23:05Here's my dieting plan.
23:07And you're like, what the fuck are you talking about?
23:11Like you don't have hair.
23:12It's in the different.
23:14So like outside of Pitino Hurley has the titles.
23:18Beer doesn't have the titles.
23:20Pearl doesn't have the titles.
23:22Will Wade doesn't have the titles.
23:23Like all these guys, Sean Miller doesn't have the titles.
23:26Like, so all eyes are on Hurley as the back-to-back champion.
23:30And I'm just like, it is perfect.
23:34He's perfect for UConn because UConn fans are boisterous.
23:38You know, if you say like, Hey, they've been like probably
23:41the best program in the last 25 years, but they're not
23:44historically the best.
23:45It's like, well, what the fuck do you know?
23:46Like we have the TV now.
23:48It's like, all right, man.
23:49I'm just making a factual statement, but Hurley is perfect
23:53for it.
23:54He can't go anywhere else.
23:56And again, like they lost because of rebounding and shitty
24:00shooting.
24:00But if he's going to flip that on the refs, I kind of admire
24:03it.
24:03Like that's just the ultimate spin zone.
24:05It is.
24:06But then you can't whine and complain when people point
24:08that out.
24:09It's when you argue and yell and boo professional wrestlers,
24:14they it's because they're like trying to drag that out of
24:17you.
24:17Hurley, he's a psycho.
24:19I don't even know if he knows what he's doing, but we're not
24:22booing him because he's a bad guy.
24:24And he's like, he like beats his wife and shit.
24:26No, he's electric at all times.
24:28I love it was Coach K hated because he was kind of a high
24:34horse better than you.
24:35And he won a lot.
24:37I do.
24:37It was Duke.
24:38Yeah, but I feel like he was a dickhead, but he was quiet
24:40about it.
24:41And people still hate him.
24:42You know what I mean about that?
24:43I don't know about that.
24:45He yelled at his own fan base to stop the whole chanting
24:50thing and going off on the deep end.
24:52If he would be rape raps, he would be rape raps.
24:55He would demand all this stuff.
24:57He's and he was hated.
24:58I was going to say, I feel like people would find a way to
25:03hate Dan Hurley, even if he wasn't so in your face about
25:06it, if that makes sense.
25:09Yeah, I feel like Coach K was a little more quiet about it.
25:12I get what you're saying.
25:14I don't know.
25:14Like the late 90s into the 2000s, he really became just
25:19the ultimate dickhead.
25:20Yeah.
25:21Yeah.
25:21And it's like, yeah, you want titles.
25:23You have the right to.
25:23Like, I always say, if you win, you have the right to talk
25:26shit no matter what.
25:28Like you have the ultimate.
25:29Hey, I got two rings.
25:31Yeah.
25:31The back to back championship.
25:33And it did factor in like when you look at everything at
25:36Duke with K where it's like the 2010, like the title team
25:41was investigated.
25:42The jeweler didn't speak to the NCAA.
25:44You're talking about maybe a banner coming down.
25:46He was the antithesis to one and done until he copied
25:49Calipari and just started recruiting all one and done.
25:52So he was quieter about it, but I think he's a bigger
25:56dickhead than Dan Hurley.
25:58And if he would have done what they caught on camera, the
26:01whole world would kill him too.
26:02It's what makes sports fun.
26:04So all right, before we get into our last topic, I want to
26:07talk about every man.
26:08Every man Jack is a clean men's care brand made specifically
26:12for guys, and they're going to be with us all throughout
26:14March from body wash to deodorant hair to beard care.
26:16They've got everything you need to look, smell and feel
26:18great without breaking the bank.
26:20Every product is made with naturally derived ingredients,
26:22no harsh chemicals.
26:23So you're not putting any junk onto your body.
26:26Most guys don't realize what's in their body wash or deodorant,
26:28but every man Jack makes it easy to clean up your routine.
26:31And also they smell great.
26:33The sensor designed for guys.
26:34They're think manly think outdoorsy sandalwood, cedarwood,
26:37coconut, vanilla, and even new ones like mountain air.
26:40Best part.
26:40They are affordable.
26:41You don't need to drop $15 on body wash or deodorant when you
26:44get something incredible for under $10 with every man Jack.
26:48This is the first men's personal care brand that you don't
26:50have to compromise on talking price, scent, quality shop.
26:53Every man Jack body wash and deodorant at Walmart target
26:57Amazon and everymanjack.com.
27:00All right.
27:01Final thing before we go post show would be the new topic
27:05around the overarching tournament is that NIL has killed mid
27:11majors.
27:12We only have one double digit seed in the tournament left in
27:15the sweet 16.
27:16That is Arkansas.
27:18You cannot say they're a Cinderella.
27:19Coach Cal is not a Cinderella ever.
27:22I don't care that there are 10 seed and they're also a power
27:24conference team.
27:25So I personally am excited for the sweet 16.
27:30But what do you guys think about it is, is Stephen A.
27:32Smith.
27:32I just saw said, if this trend continues, college basketball
27:36is dead.
27:38Then why was San Diego State, Florida Atlantic, like the least
27:42watched final four of all time.
27:43People love upsets early.
27:45People hate Cinderella's late.
27:47It's a good story, but you want to watch good games like this.
27:50When St.
27:51Peter's played Carolina in the lead eight, it wasn't fun.
27:55It was a good story leading into it.
27:56Then 10 minutes in, it's like, all right, well, this standalone
27:59game sucked.
28:00I just want to watch a good game.
28:01For sure.
28:03I am very much opposed to blaming NIL in the transfer portal
28:08for this.
28:09It is the easiest crutch that people just point to when
28:12something doesn't go how they want to in college sports.
28:162017, no upsets, all power conferences in the sweet 16.
28:212016 and 19, I believe we're the same too.
28:252008, we have four ones in the, in the final four.
28:29Nobody screamed it.
28:30It's almost like the tournament is a one-off thing that gets
28:33weird.
28:34Last year, Yale, Grand Canyon, Oakland, Duquesne, James
28:38Madison, all want to gain.
28:40No one screamed that NIL was ruining the tournament.
28:44It's if this is a trend, you know, the next three years,
28:48then yeah, sure.
28:48We can have this discussion.
28:50It's just when something goes the way people don't want it
28:53to go, they just immediately blame NIL and transfer for it.
28:56And it's like, well, the top teams in the country this year
28:59were kind of historically great.
29:01Mid-major shot 30% from three in the tournament games.
29:05They were all good teams.
29:07They just sucked in one game and it's a one game scenario.
29:10That's the problem.
29:11It has nothing to do right now, at least with NIL or transfer
29:14portal, not to mention you're talking about like a lot of
29:16these guys are fifth and sixth year guys because of the COVID
29:19year that ends coming up.
29:21So there's just so many other things to blame.
29:24It's just people want to yell about NIL and transfer portal
29:27because it's new and they hate it.
29:29Oops.
29:30Yeah, I love how everyone was like shitting on Jay Billis
29:33for picking all the number one seeds to be in the final four.
29:36And it's like shaping up to be a completely chalk bracket.
29:39I mean, it already is.
29:40So I thought that was funny.
29:42I don't know, but what's your, why would you stay at a
29:45mid-major if you're a kid who's like crushing it?
29:48Is there any reason?
29:49Cause like, I don't know.
29:50I ran cross country at a shitty D3 school and then a pretty
29:53shitty D1 school and our facility sucked ass.
29:58We got no merch and you just see all these kids at big
30:01schools getting stuff and getting a paycheck.
30:03Why would you not want to jump ship and go there?
30:05And it goes, people forget it goes the other way too.
30:08Like there are eighth and ninth men on these power
30:10conferences, power conference teams that transferred down
30:13to the mid-majors and kill it.
30:14Like Grand Canyon's best player was at Kansas and DePaul.
30:17Then he went to Grand Canyon and killed it.
30:19Gibson playing time.
30:20Yeah.
30:20Yeah, it goes both ways.
30:22People just, when FAU made the run and San Diego state made
30:27the run, everyone pointed that like, Oh, this is thanks
30:29transfer portal.
30:30Like this, you helped us get these players.
30:32And now it's because it's all the high majors.
30:35Oh, the transfer portal ruined it all.
30:37And it's like, you can't scream one way or the other in a
30:40tournament that's the dumbest event ever, but also the
30:43greatest event of all.
30:44I don't think it ruins the tournament at all.
30:46I'm super excited.
30:47I think it's been fun.
30:48I'm still excited.
30:49The NIL, my problem with NIL is what it was intended to do is
30:53quite literally, like NIL.
30:56I thought you made a great point.
30:59What all you do, like the best players on these mid major
31:03teams will be on high major teams next year.
31:05It's like a minor league system where if you play well, you
31:08get paid the next year to go somewhere else.
31:10So I do think that mid majors are dying where it's like, Hey,
31:14this team has been playing together for four years.
31:16This guy's the all time leading score at the school, blah,
31:18blah.
31:18If you have one good year, you are going to go rightfully
31:21get paid.
31:22What NIL was supposed to do, correct me if I'm wrong, was
31:26Braxton Miller has 40,000 jerseys in the stands of Ohio
31:31Stadium on Saturday, and he makes $0.0 from it.
31:34He gets a 20% cut of it.
31:36Yeah.
31:37That was what it was supposed to be for.
31:38Now it's to get kids.
31:40It's not even going to keep the Cooper flags and the
31:43Concanipples in college.
31:44They're going to go make their $20 million, $40 million in
31:46the NBA.
31:47It's getting people like fifth, six year seniors to get to
31:51stick around for another $2 million before they have to go
31:54sell cars somewhere.
31:55I like that, though.
31:56I like keeping guys in there.
31:59We used to lose these fringe NBA players because they're
32:02like, Oh, I might get going the second round, or I can just
32:04go to the G League and sign a two way deal.
32:06I do kind of like having these guys come back for an extra
32:10year where, yeah, you're not getting flag and Knipple and
32:14VJ Edgecumbe coming back.
32:16But it kept like Jeremy Roach in college for another year.
32:19Caleb Love in college for another year.
32:22The guys that 10 years from now, you're like, remember when
32:25Caleb Love hit that shot against Duke that ended Coach K's
32:28career?
32:29And it's a kid.
32:30Well, we also then had him in Arizona because he was also
32:32kind of forced out.
32:33But those sort of guys, like, give me them in college as long
32:36as we can.
32:38I think that helps the sport.
32:40To me, it's simple.
32:42You get one free transfer.
32:44Then it goes back to the old rules.
32:45Unless your coach leaves.
32:46If your coach leaves, you can transfer without sitting out
32:48again.
32:49I think that's a simple solution for everyone involved.
32:52I like that.
32:52But you know what I think is ruining March Madness is having
32:56two games at like noon and two and then eight games from
33:00five to like 10 p.m.
33:02I hate it.
33:03They must know something more than us.
33:05I feel like the West Coast, they're like, all right, we got
33:07to the West Coast is still asleep at noon.
33:09It's 9 a.m.
33:10out there.
33:10So we got to wait.
33:11I think it's more than just like you to have your weekend.
33:13Like, I'll get stuff done during the day.
33:16No one has a weekend.
33:18As a dad, I fucking love it.
33:20Like I get all the night games because then I don't have two
33:23minions running around annoying me trying to watch games.
33:26All right.
33:26But it is weird.
33:28Like the two standalone really.
33:31And then like the Kentucky game, the first half of that is
33:34a standalone.
33:34So you get two and a half standalones early.
33:38One, you better hope it's a good game because there's nothing
33:40worse than watching them blow out.
33:41And you're like, well, right.
33:42Well, we had we had Purdue McNeese.
33:44And it's just like right away.
33:46Yeah, but yeah.
33:47Throw one more game early.
33:49Give us three.
33:50Give us three early.
33:51I think that's the case.
33:52Yeah.
33:52All right.
33:53Well, that's what we got today.
33:54A post show.
33:55Any interoffice stuff?
33:56I don't know.
33:57I would say I got to watch the the Dave and smokes debate.
34:04Yeah, I love Nikki.
34:06I think he I think that he's pretty dominant.
34:09It creates great content all the time.
34:12But to watch that firsthand, he Dave was feeding him rally news,
34:19which was pissing off the rest of the cave because Nikki smokes
34:22after a couple of news becomes a lot.
34:26And he convinced Dave to give him a rally noon to turn around
34:30Michigan's bad game.
34:32And then when Spider told Dave that Nikki had bet on Texas A&M,
34:37it was I mean, it was cinema.
34:39Do you guys did you guys get to see that at all?
34:41Dave, we might need a rally noon.
34:47Let's see if you can make a difference.
34:48This is big.
34:49He's on Texas A&M.
34:50Just saying.
34:51You're on A&M?
34:51No, no.
34:52I'm just here for a week.
34:53Right.
34:53Tate said Nikki was with him.
34:55Did you not?
34:57Did you not?
34:57Not out loud.
34:58Are you on A&M?
34:59I'm on A&M.
35:00St. John Roses and Kendall.
35:02Okay.
35:03But now it's like we're going up to the front.
35:06One of them was lying.
35:08I didn't say to him.
35:09You said it to me.
35:11You said you're the only one's here for A&M.
35:13And you said so is Nikki Smokes.
35:14Did you not?
35:16Privately to you.
35:17Yes.
35:17Fucked her up over there.
35:19You got A&M?
35:20I'm rolling with the boys.
35:21Did you bet on A&M?
35:22No, I wrote them on my sheet.
35:23I didn't get them in on time.
35:25You're rooting for.
35:26We got a couple snakes in here, Dave.
35:27You're rooting for.
35:28You're rooting for Michigan.
35:31Yes.
35:31Okay.
35:34I have A&M in my parlay.
35:36But Jack makes me do the parlay.
35:38I wouldn't.
35:38Well, I didn't give you a rally.
35:41He asked for a rally noon.
35:42And then I heard he was rooting for A&M.
35:44That would have been a problem.
35:48I got no ball.
35:48So since the bet was.
35:50I put the D.K. out.
35:51Yeah.
35:52Can I see a D.K. out?
35:55I'm being respectful.
35:56Not screenshots either.
35:57Let him scroll.
35:57I want the whole phone.
35:58Yeah, let him scroll.
36:00Give him the phone away.
36:01Phone.
36:01Let me see the phone.
36:02You took a rally noon when you bet on A&M?
36:05I have both.
36:06Oh, God.
36:06He's got both.
36:07Oh, no.
36:08He's got both.
36:09Both what?
36:10I have 450 and lost money on both sides.
36:14I saw it.
36:15It's an insane move.
36:16It's an insane move to lie about what you're doing.
36:19Lying.
36:19Lying for a free high noon and getting on Dave's bad side for the rest of forever.
36:25Not worth it.
36:26They did come back and win or else.
36:27I don't know how it goes down if they don't come back and win.
36:31But Nikki's move of.
36:33Yeah, I bet on both sides.
36:35Which no one does that.
36:37And then when Nick Hamilton came in and was like,
36:40hey, he just added in the betting group one minute ago that he bet on Michigan.
36:44I don't know.
36:45It kept me entertained.
36:46So final thing, Reeves, I need a prediction.
36:48So Bosco has made it to the Sweet 16.
36:51Got BYU.
36:52And then he's got the winner of Duke, Arizona.
36:54We will not have that.
36:56That's this upcoming weekend.
36:58Is Bosco riding the bus or is he flying first class?
37:01Get that 57 hours ready.
37:03I said it.
37:04We said it on Titus's show Sunday night.
37:07I thought the winner of BYU, Wisconsin was going to the final four.
37:10So I'm sticking with that.
37:11Because BYU is looking awesome.
37:13Yeah, I'll take Duke.
37:14So yeah, Bosco, get the bus.
37:16Yeah, he's getting on the bus.
37:17Alabama got scared by, what was it, Robert Morris.
37:20Like, Robert Morris gave him everything they could handle.
37:22And played a St. Mary's team that sucks.
37:24Yeah, he's riding that bus.
37:29Well, that'll be good entertainment.
37:31Oh, and shout out Family Guy for nailing Frankie's profile in the pizza review.
37:39I don't know if it was a compliment.
37:41I still can't feel like it.
37:42Very cool that Dave and Frankie were on there.
37:45But then they called all Barstool fans insurrectionists.
37:49I know.
37:49But I just cracked up seeing Frankie in an admin vest.
37:52Someone said Seth McFarlane's right-hand guy is a big Barstool fan.
37:57He loves everything Dave does.
37:58Plus, it's like, that's what Family Guy does.
38:02They poke at you.
38:03They're not going to be like, hey, this is the greatest person ever.
38:06Like, they're going to try to make a joke on your expense.
38:09One of the lead writers of Family Guy, Alex Sulkin, is a huge stoolie from the area.
38:13He follows probably all of you on Twitter and Instagram.
38:17Yeah, it was just good old-fashioned ribbing.
38:19He's a great guy.
38:20But yeah, I was dying at the Frankie.
38:23Like how they had Frankie made up with the vest.
38:25It was perfect.
38:26I think Frankie didn't think that's him.
38:28He was like, that's not me.
38:29What?
38:30That's definitely him.
38:31Because he didn't say, all right, Frankie.
38:32And he was like, yeah, I don't think that's me.
38:35It looks exactly like him.
38:36I was going to say, that's Frankie.
38:39Very cool, though.
38:40So all right, sounds good.
38:41That's the rundown.
38:42And we'll see you guys tomorrow.
