Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Our two.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Dan and the Dan Edge Dan Patrick Show, and we'll
talk to Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo. It's our
annual get together with coach Izzo. Usually when he's in
the Sweet sixteen or the Elite eight, he will join us.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Coming up here in a little bit.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America
Official Trading Cards of the program SA. Good morning, those
watching on Peacock, Thank you for downloading the app, our
streaming partner and our radio affiliates around the country, Danpatrick
dot com. Everything is on sale. Go take advantage of
all of the great offers there. You knew it when
(00:39):
you saw it, if you watched it live, you knew
Juju Watkins had suffered a severe knee injury. Now we're
finding out that she did tear her acl. USC did advance,
but they will have to advance without Juju Watkins as
she will be out for the rest of the tournament
and for quite a few months of rehab. Show have
(00:59):
surgery immediately and they'll try to move on without her.
And you know, the selection committee did set it up
that USC was going to play Connecticut in the Elite eight.
And you know, this was the same philosophy with IOWA
and LSU last year, where why not wait and let
them play in the National Champion You want to ensure
(01:19):
that they get to play. And Iowa and LSU lived
up to that billing, and we were hoping for another
rematch with USC and Yukon. Yukon won big last night
and Paige Becker's her last game, her home game, and
you know, you start to see because the women are
there for four years, sometimes five years if they get injured.
(01:42):
Paige Becker's gone through a couple of surgeries and you
could see the emotion on Geno Orim's face and I
you know, it kind of came out of nowhere, but
he realized right there that she he was saying goodbye
to her on her home turf at Yukon. And you know,
when you we see college athletes now, certainly in basketball,
(02:04):
you're wont and done. So there's not that relationship with
the fans of the coaches. It's a six month process.
There you're dealing with years and everything, the highs and
lows that go into that, and that's where it is
a business. But then there's still that personal attachment that
you see with some coaches, some players, a community. Then
(02:25):
you saw that with Paige Becker's last night. But she
gets to continue to play while Juju Watkins is out
for well quite some time. You know, it's probably seven
months having torn an acl but I wasn't coming back
to anything.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
You know, it's a long, long process.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
And as great as she's been the face of the sport,
all of these commercials. You know, I'm watching this morning,
she's there with the you know, they're they're promoting March
Madness for the women. She's got a State Farm commercial,
got a Nike commercial. I mean, she is a This
is one of those not just a basketball player, She's
(03:09):
more than that. And playing in Los Angeles, she had
become the face of the sport and she brought out celebrities,
you know, Jayden Daniels coming out this year. You know,
she's that kind of magnetic personality talent. Yes, Marvin, if
you're the.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Head of women's college basketball at the NCAA, what do
you guys do as far as focusing your attention on
another player like Hadalo from Notre Dame, Like, what do
you guys? Doo just focus on South Carolina as a whole.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I mean, do you change your focus to go more
Connecticut centric?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
South Carolina doesn't have that one. They have a lot
of players that's really their coach LSU. It's about their
coach for the most part, although they do have the Johnson. Yeah,
she's a talent, she's personality, got a music career. You know,
she's a good basketball player. You know, bets at UCLA.
(04:12):
But you know, I don't know how ESPN is going
to sell this spin this now and be because it
was going to be about Juju Watkins that she was
going to be leading her team to a national championship.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah, Pauline, Yeah, FLA J.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Johnson for LSU. She's on a lot of ads. She's
in like a financial services ad and like how to
manage your money And it's not in theory. She's actually
dealing with this at at twenty years old.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
All right, age seven seven three d P show email
address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at dp show. We
stumbled upon a is your school a basketball school or
a football school? You may want your school because I
was thinking of Arkansas. Arkansas they want to be a
football school, but they're a basketball school. You're in SEC
(04:58):
country and you desperately want to be a football school.
I get it, but you're not. You know, Kentucky is
a basketball school. If they've had success in football, they
want to be a basketball school. They're fine with being
a basketball school. Indiana would like to be a basketball school.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Again.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
It's sort of like, wait a minute, come on, football team,
don't get too good because we don't even make the
tournament here. But yeah, so everybody getting territorial here. I
don't want to hear about. Well, Arkansas back in the
sixty you know, nineteen sixty nine playing for a national
championship in football, Yeah, I got it. Or Jerry Jones
(05:38):
and Jimmy Johnson played for I get it. With that,
I would say, Nolan Richardson, you know Eric Musselman now
coach Cown. I mean that was the point. You're looking
at Arkansas in the sweet sixteen and they're a basketball school.
I mean, there's no shame in it. Like you have
to cut an Oregon. Oregon to me is a football school,
(06:00):
even though they're having more success. It feels like basketball wise,
USC football school but not having great success as a
football school. But historically I'm talking about now like it
is Utah. Utah's a football school, right, Arizona basketball school,
(06:26):
Florida State football school, even though they haven't been. Here's
one North Carolina. North Carolina basketball school or football school.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Marvin basketball.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Okay, they've won national titles in the last ten years.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Yeah, Paul, overwhelmingly basketball, but the coverage lately is about
their football team positively.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
South Carolina women's basketball. No, I know that's what they
might be known for. But are they a football scho
or a basketball school?
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Well, just you don't need to say women's it's just
a basketball school, okay, because that would include the women's.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Okay, Well, they're terrible in men's basketball, so that's why
I only said the women they're average.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
They although they were one of the two teams out
of the SEC that didn't make the tournament. Jamie, that's embarrassing,
Jamie in Iowa. I mean, yes, of course, everybody made
it but us.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
Hey Jamie, Hey, morning fellas.
Speaker 9 (07:30):
That was my question.
Speaker 10 (07:31):
That's ironically, you guys are talking about juju and then
you bring up women's basketball, because that's what I was
going to ask. I wanted to hear your opinion is
like South Carolina when you think of Don Staley, do
you think of South Carolina as a football school or
a women's basketball school? Or like last year when our
women went on a couple runs. Were we a football
(07:52):
school in Iowa? Or were we a women's basketball school?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
You were a women's basketball school the last couple of years.
Uh plus you were seeing so much offense on the
women's basketball team and no offense on the football team.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
No way, too soon? Yeah, all right, thank you? Vin
in Kansas? Hi, Vin, Hey, good one, guys.
Speaker 11 (08:18):
How are you doing so? I'm calling as a Kansas
State graduate. You know, up until Bill Schneyer, K State
was just a basketball school, and now I consider it's
probably a football school. Likewise, my arch enemy KU hasn't
really been able to produce a football team, even though
they spent money on it.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, Kansas is still a basketball school, you know, as
long as Bill self is there k State, I'd say
a football school.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, I m'd say a football school. Shuffles in Phoenix
High Shuffles, Morning.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Morning, Pat. I've never called into the Pat Patrick Show,
but this is awesome and I want to I'm here
to say it was which I'm a fan of and
I know Dan, you and Marvin want to disparage them,
but I think Arizona is a football school during football
season and a basketball school during basketball season.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
No, no, no, you can't do it that way. Shuffles and
I don't disparage Arizona. Arizona does a good job disparaging
themselves when it comes to basketball.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
We should have three national championships. I don't know what
happened in nineteen ninetyears and in nineteen and two thousand
and one, Mike Dunleavy Junior went off on the Steph
Curry before Steph Curry, I don't even know where Mike
Dunleavy Junior. It is not that that should have never happened.
We should have had three national championships.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
No, but you, but you don't. You don't.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Mike Dunleavy Junior is the GM of the Golden State Warriors.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yes, Tod, I think they stopped giving up.
Speaker 12 (09:46):
They should have awards a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
That we should have won quite a few sports that man, right, Yeah, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
The job you want is a football coach at a
basketball school. So let's say you're the full Paul coach
of Kentucky. You win eight games, everyone's happy. No one's
gonna get upset. Mark, Stoops, how long has he He's
been there twelve years? Stoops. There it is at Kentucky.
And he'll go five and seven, seven and six. Then
he'll throw out a ten and three. Yeah, everyone's happy
and he gets an extension.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
It's like being the head football coach at Duke.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yes, you know, it's like, oh, look at you what
you guys did, like, you know, you pat him on the.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Head, look at what you did? Just be above five hundred.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Yeah, those schools are like, hey, I think we got
a guy this year that's actually pretty good.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah, you know, like it's nice.
Speaker 12 (10:32):
Bubbled up like I think we got a guy this year.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
I think we got a guy named Danny Dimes. Yeah, yes, yes, Mark.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Remember a few years back, Kansas went to the Orange
Bowl and I was like, Kansas, Oh, get out of here.
Give that guy a lifetime extension please.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, it's like you got to go back to the
Gaels Sayers days like Kansas, Yeah, heck you uh, let
me see Aiden in Utah, Aiden in Utah.
Speaker 13 (11:00):
Hey, man, how's it going? First and foremost, University of
Utah is a ski school. Okay, sixteen national championship, yeah,
I do. We want seventh straight. Okay, My bad.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Aid Aiden, My apologies, My apologies. I didn't realize how dominant, yeah,
that they've been in skiing.
Speaker 13 (11:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Okay, I think he accepted my apology. They're the UCLA
basketball of skiing, Utah, My bad should have known that.
Although if you ask the athletic director, what do you
want to be known as? You know, we're the skiing school,
(11:46):
or do you want to be known as a football school.
We want we're going to change our name to ski
You Jim in Michigan and people are getting territory oriel here.
Hey Jim, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (12:03):
Not too much?
Speaker 14 (12:04):
Dan, A good morning. Uh, you know Michigan, and I'm
gonna say Michigan Football school. And not even just because
you know, even though we're playing great basketball right now,
when you hear the word Michigan, you automatically think of
the big House.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Yeah, I think of the helmets. Yeah. Absolutely. Let me
see Caleb in Augusta.
Speaker 9 (12:26):
Hi, Caleb, Hi, Dan six two two sixty And question
for you and the boys, how many championships would Bill
Belichick have to win at UNC for it to be
considered a football school over a basketball school.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
One, thank thank you, k Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yes, if Bill Belichick wins a championship in North Carolina,
they're a.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Football school.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Out of Carolina.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
No, they may not want that, but they would be
viewed as they would be viewed as a football made.
Speaker 12 (13:13):
Michael Jordan that they're never going to be a football school.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Ever, they didn't make Michael.
Speaker 12 (13:19):
The football team is wearing a Jordan logo.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
They kept Jordan down. Yes, they didn't make him. They
kept him down.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Never will Carolina be a football Never.
Speaker 12 (13:30):
They could win three straight and they're still If.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
North Carolina won three straight national titles in football, yes, yeah.
But the basketball team, you know, they just barely they
limped in. They trickled into the first four, yes, mark, But.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
They went to the final four in twenty twenty two,
so it's not like they've been on a forty year downside.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Okay, So when's their last national title.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
I'm gonna say twenty seventeen.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
Okay, yes, Paul, Yeah, North Carolina in the past twenty
five years had two seasons with ten or more winks.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
If they won a title in football, they'd be like
renting themselves as like a temp as a football and
like a holding pattern til basketball took over.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Be a pretty big deal.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
If they won a national title at North Carolina, You
got that right.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
I'm I'm just putting it would be a pretty like
a devastating blow to nil. Actually, we'd be like, oh, okay,
now nil has gone too far.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
If these dudes are winning.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
If this school is winning a national championship in football,
we need to curb nil right now.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Look, if Belichick's girlfriend is running the collective, they're going
to win. She's gonna make some deals. She's gonna get
some things done there behind the scenes, guaranteed. I mean,
if you get Bill Belichick to lie on his back
on the beach and hold you up like you're an airplane,
she can do anything. It's like, hey, Bill, Yeah, how
(14:55):
about you lie on your back and we let something
go viral?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
What's viral? No, it'll go all around the internet. Oh
so it's not something I have wrong with me? A condition?
Speaker 9 (15:07):
No?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
No, no, you wanted to go viral.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Okay, you lie on your back in the sand with
your shorts on and those big muscular thighs and then
you hold me up and then I'm gonna be like,
I'm flying.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Okay if she can get him to do that, come on, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Bill's girlfriend would be like, who's Michael Jordan is that?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
It seems you know his name is the same as
the Jordan brand. Imagine that you played basketball.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah, all right, let me take a break. Tom Iszo

(17:15):
see Pat in South Carolina? Hi, Pat, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Hello?
Speaker 8 (17:21):
Man six four hard two thirty hard. I am also
a three time dd C club member and want to
wait in on the Tennessee being definitely a football tool.
But I have a Sat of the Day boy too.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Okay, here we go with the stat of the Day.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
Tennessee is the only program in the country with a
top ten in football, basketball, and baseball.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
All right, Sat, They brought to you by a Panini America,
the official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show sixteen
times to the Sweet sixteen his yearly visit with The
Dan Patrick Show. He is Hall of Famer Tom Izzo
(18:12):
joining us on the program. What's your schedule today?
Speaker 16 (18:16):
My schedule. I got in here about seven, seven thirty
and had a little film work, answered some texas and
then talk to my staff about what we're going to
do in practice and get a press conference in a
little bit, some more staff meeting and then practice. That's
my day.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
How's the voice?
Speaker 16 (18:37):
It's great? Great. Get a little sleep. He got a
little sleep last night for the first time night before.
Not much. But it's the same as every other coach,
and just I'm a little older than some of them.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
The balance of coaching this week and the transfer portal,
how do you focus on one when you need to
and the other one when you need to.
Speaker 16 (18:59):
Yeah, you know, I'm putting everything towards my team. I
owe them to that. I think, you know, recruiting is
very important. The transfer portal to me isn't as important yet,
but recruiting is very important. And yet my old boss
used to have a theory says, problem with young assistants.
They spend so much time getting the next player, they
(19:20):
forget to take care of the one they got. And
I think there's some validity to that. You know, there's
a happy medium. My happy medium when you get to
the sweet sixteen and on is you know, you don't
always get here. So everything's going to be from my team,
the players on my team. We'll let everybody else worry
about the transfer portal. Hopefully winning helps somebody, even though
(19:40):
you and I know it doesn't. It's all about the
money now. But that's okay too.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
But help me with the philosophy of recruiting, because you
don't have many one of don's, like Jason Richardson, was
a one and done. I don't do you go at
you know, do you try to go after the one
and donners or do you have that philosophy of I'll
take the guy who might stay here three or four years.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
No, I'd love to.
Speaker 16 (20:04):
Have Jared Jackson, Miles Bridges, you know, where guys Gary
Harris that we're one in two years and done, and
you know, you got to have some those kind of
talented players, you know, to do that. But no, I
don't shy away from that at all. It's just they're
not as easy to get, you know, for the most part,
A lot of those programs, you know, Duke and Kentucky
(20:27):
has had more of those kind of players. Maybe Kansas some,
but I don't think there's as many programs as you
think there are that are getting those kind of players.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
How do you coach differently in March than November?
Speaker 16 (20:42):
You know, I don't think I coached that much differently.
I just think that there's kind of a culture and
a feel here that when it comes to February, everybody
knows the NCAA tournament. We've had some success in it,
and I think I think the players that come here
expect everything to be ratcheted up a little bit as
(21:03):
you get to the end of the year, and it's exciting.
It's not a you know, like my players after we
won on Sunday, The first thing they said in the
locker room, because usually we give them Monday off, is
let's practice Monday. That came from the players, you know,
so they know what time of year it is and
they know what they got to do.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Is Michigan State a football school or a basketball school?
Speaker 16 (21:27):
It's a football school, which I think ninety percent of
these schools are. You know, we all I have such
a great relationship with all the football guys here. I've
always had a great relationship with them because I realized
that they're still making seventy percent of the money. What
I think is unique about Michigan State, and there's a
couple of schools that have this, is we've been pretty
(21:50):
successful in both. You know, nine years ago we both
went to a Final four. Those are what's really exciting
about schools like this.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Ever coached again a coach that you don't like, Like.
Speaker 16 (22:02):
Sure, sure you do, even though I get along with
most of the coaches, But there's coaches I wouldn't say
don't like. Maybe I didn't respect as much because the
things that were going on. Now that's changed now because
we don't have any rules anymore. So you know, it's
easier now I can like everybody.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Okay, but if you know such, so are we talking
about if somebody was cheating, Like you're going to face
somebody and you know they were cheating, that's when you
have that.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
I don't respect you.
Speaker 16 (22:33):
That's what I have privately. I don't share that publicly
very often.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
But I mean, but what's it like in the handshake line?
You don't walk by and go cheater and then just
good game, good game, good game, cheater, good game, good game.
Speaker 11 (22:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (22:49):
I don't do that at all. I think I respect
every coach I go against because even the guys that
I thought were doing stuff back in the day, I
know how hard these jobs are. And Judge used to
say the game makes fools of us all. Well, that
there's some truth to that.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
When's the last time you ask Magic Johnson to help
you with the recruit.
Speaker 16 (23:12):
I'll ask them all the time, but I really don't
have to ask him. You know, he's always tweeting out
something or he's saying something, and you know, now they're
actually allowed to help you legally. Yeah, if you come
to campus and they get there. It used to be
where you know, if you had a football game and
just happened a Magic seats were behind the recruit seat,
(23:32):
but now you can sit them right with them as
long as they're on campus. But you know, Magic's been great.
I mean a lot of the former players that I
coached have been great with it, and it helps when
you have but Jason Richardson, Jace Richardson, the son of
a player that's getting good. I'm going for grandsons though.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Now, yeah, how much longer you got these coaches who
are saying I can't, I don't want to do it anymore.
You know, it's transfer portal nil and it's just not
the way it once was. So what's motivating you to
continue to do this stubbornness?
Speaker 16 (24:07):
To be honestly, it's total stubbornness. I still love what
I do. I don't like what has gone on. I
don't think anybody does, to be very honest with you,
and you know, some say it, some don't say it.
But right now I've taken a better, better stance with myself.
For a couple of years, I was on all those
committees and I just kind of gotten off where I
(24:29):
don't worry about my team and not worry about all
the things that I can't control. And unfortunately, nobody can
control what's going on right now. There is no control.
That saddens me for our profession. But it is what
it is. So I when in Rome do like the Romans.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
You know, it sounded like a grumpy old man, get
off my lawn. Where you were talking about playing games
after ten o'clock on the West coast.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
In the tournament, it was rumty.
Speaker 16 (25:00):
I just think it's very difficult to do that. You know,
we do, Dan, I don't know what you did at Dayton,
but we do go to school here too. You know
we are a student athlete.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Yeah, we never did that at Dayton.
Speaker 16 (25:13):
I know, I know, I understand that. But when you
get back at three in the morning, now you gotta prep.
It's just more difficult. I understand that TV pays the bills.
I love all the TV people, so I got I
got no problem. But it does get to wear on
you sitting there all day and that it's one part
I'd like to see changed a little bit. But it
is what it is. So I I don't think I
(25:36):
sounded grumpy about it. I expressed my opinion, but you
express your opinion all the time.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Grumpy. Yes, I'm gonna get off my line.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Guy, I think this had to do with your bedtime,
and that's what you were bothered by.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Now, I don't go to sleep now listen with the
Dratsford Bortal.
Speaker 16 (25:52):
You don't go to sleep everthon, you got to You've
got to go over and sit with your players, make
sure nobody's flying.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Do you have your phone on vibrate? Yeah, by your bed? Yeah,
okay after midnight? Oh yeah, all the time. I mean,
you never know what's going to happen. You know, there's
a lot of things that happened. But but if you
had to bail somebody out of jail or anything like that,
(26:21):
have I had to in the past.
Speaker 16 (26:23):
There's things like that that happened. Yeah, you know, sometimes
it's not always for bad things, you know, parking tickets
and he gets picked up or something. But yeah, any
coach that tells you they don't have their phone on
at night or they sleep probably lying to you.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Single best player you ever coached against was who.
Speaker 16 (26:45):
Ah boy. You know, when I was an assistant shack,
we played against I played against grand Hill. I thought
was one of the greatest players. But boy, that's a
loaded question, and I'm not saying that against anybody they're
just man when you're at this level. He played against
a lot of great players.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
What was the scouting report on Shock? Really big? I
was just a GA back then.
Speaker 16 (27:11):
That was in my early days, and I remember telling
jud Boy, that guy's a big guy, you know. But
he was good.
Speaker 10 (27:19):
He was good.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
I like Shack, but you knew who was so good?
Was Chris Jackson?
Speaker 16 (27:25):
He was?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
He was good more more my size too.
Speaker 16 (27:28):
That's why I should like a lot more.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
But he was.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
I mean, imagine him in today's game. He would he
would break you off the I mean off the dribble crossover.
And he was so quick with that jumper.
Speaker 16 (27:41):
Yeah, and he could shoot it from long range. So
he probably would fit in since the three is more
prevalent now. I don't even think the three had just
come in then. It was right around that time because
I know we had Scott Skyles and we didn't have
a three point shot then that was an eighty six.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Now, help me, is the story true about Scott Scounds
and John Thompson?
Speaker 16 (28:03):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
The it was Actually it was in Dayton yet that
at the tournament, right.
Speaker 16 (28:08):
Yeah, there was nothing bad with John Thompson, but they
really got after him. The first half, and uh, I
think Scott was zero for nine and I just remember
that halftime. He was sitting in there and uh, We're
playing Georgetown, and I mean he was seating, you know,
and he played really good the second half. He woned.
So you know, Scott had a tendency to talk stuff,
(28:30):
but uh, tell you what, he was a help player?
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Did he did?
Speaker 2 (28:34):
He say to Thompson while dribbling the ball to John
on the sidelines, why didn't you get somebody bleeping out
here who can guard me?
Speaker 16 (28:43):
Did he guard me?
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yes?
Speaker 16 (28:45):
You know, I didn't hear it. I heard about it,
but I do believe it. I do believe it. It was.
It was one of the things that Scott was. He
was good at but he backed up what he said.
So you got to give him credit there.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Uh, great to talk to you again. I'll talk to
you next year at this time, all right.
Speaker 11 (29:04):
You and I'm still going to be here.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
I will be were you to be in a transfer portal?
Speaker 16 (29:10):
Are you going somewhere else?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
I got three more years? Do you have three more years?
Speaker 16 (29:14):
I got seven?
Speaker 3 (29:15):
You're gonna be there seven more years?
Speaker 16 (29:17):
Oh? I got seven on my contract?
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Yeah, but you guys don't live up to those contracts.
Speaker 16 (29:21):
Well, do you live up the years?
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Yes, I'm my boss.
Speaker 16 (29:26):
You know what, my money because I do enjoy you.
You're crazy in your own way, but so am I. Someday,
when we're done, we'll play golf and get along.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
I would like to play one on one with you
in basketbare you go. I'm going to slap the floor
just to let you know I'm gonna lock you down.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Coach.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
You can bring in Steve Maryuci if you want to.
I don't care.
Speaker 16 (29:47):
I'm breaking Mooch.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
He didn't scare me. Mooch doesn't scare me either.
Speaker 16 (29:52):
Well, I appreciate you having me on Dan, and you
have a good rest of the tournament. I'll try to
do the same.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
All right, coach. That's tom Is Hall of Famer. They
got ole miss or what was it who called it
olay miss? Somebody back at ESPN. Their mother was in
a bracket challenge and maybe it was it feel the
show Killer's mom. It was who said, oh, I'm going
to take Olay miss Olay.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Olay, Olay.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Let me see Peter in Colorado. Yeah, I've known Izzo
a long long time.
Speaker 17 (30:26):
Hey Pete, Hey guys, so I have not called into
your show probably ever, but I've been listening to you
since you were for thirty years or something like that.
So I called in and it brought me to an
automated message and I asked if I was fifty years
or older, and I was like, that seems weird, but okay.
(30:48):
And then there was another automated voice that came on
and asked me if I told me I could get
a medical alert bracelet for a great price right now.
So I called eight eight eight three DP show and
I thought maybe you were fritzy, because.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I might enjoy that. But my real question was, yes.
Speaker 17 (31:10):
My real question, I'm from Minnesota, So what what school
is Minnesota?
Speaker 3 (31:15):
I didn't even know.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Okay, I'm gonna take hockey. They're known for hockey. But
if you say if this is basketball or football, I
would probably say football. Got a charismatic coach there, but yeah,
you're a hockey school.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Definitely. Chris in New Jersey, Hi, Chris, what's on your mind?
Speaker 13 (31:39):
Hey Dan?
Speaker 17 (31:39):
Thanks for taking my call?
Speaker 18 (31:40):
Yep, I got to bring up the Florida Gators. You
know they go back they go football, two titles with
Tim Tebow and then you go back to back with basketball,
not to mention he and then he threw in baseball
I think within like a five year period there and
then plus al Horford is still repping that Florida Gators
championship at a high I mean, come on, thanks thinking
(32:01):
my call.
Speaker 8 (32:02):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Wait, I didn't dispute anything with Florida, Chris, what what's
the argument on?
Speaker 11 (32:10):
No?
Speaker 18 (32:10):
No, I was just saying, because that seems like everyone's
getting a little heated bringing up like different sports, So
I just had to throw in Florida there that they're
kind of they did like a powerhouse move there for
all three sports at one point.
Speaker 8 (32:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Yeah, you know, we brought that up with Urban and
Billy Donovan. Now are they more of a basketball school
than a football school? I mean, you still think of Florida,
I think of Florida football. But it's and it's you
can be too close to it. You can be an
alum and you can say, oh no, we're this. I'm
(32:42):
just saying from a national perspective from the outside looking in.
When you say this school, you think of what athletically.
If I say UCLA, you think.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Basketball, basketball?
Speaker 19 (32:56):
Right?
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Sure, Yeah, for sure, there's no football there.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Usc football Oregon football, Arizona State.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Party.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
Sorry the first thought.

All right, we're gonna play fill in the blank. I'll
read a statement and then you'll fill in the blank.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Marvin.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Oh everything, okay, Marvin, you're you're dashing in here?
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Everything? Okay?
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Yes, it is sorry about that.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Did you forget that we were doing a show?
Speaker 16 (34:22):
No?
Speaker 12 (34:22):
No, no, I did not.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Sometimes you get in the zone out there on the
basketball floor.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
No I was not out there.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Okay, all right, we're ready to play fill in the blank.
All right, So Todd, I'm gonna start with you. I'll
read the statement. The Titans should take Blank with the
number one overall.
Speaker 19 (34:40):
Pick, the best deal they can get for several drafts elections.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Okay, so they should take a trade for the number
one pick.
Speaker 12 (34:49):
That was ten words.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
But uh, it's okay. You could have just said a trade.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Okay, all right, fair enough, seatan fill in the blank.
Titans should take Blank, take trade. Okay, yes, Marvin cam Ward,
all right, Paul, trade offers. Titan should take cam Ward
with the number one pick. The options are Cali Peri, Patino, Izzo,
(35:16):
I'd want my son to play for Frank don Rick Pattino.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Setan.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Uh, actually, in exactly that order, Cali Peri, Patino Iszo.
Gotta have your name end in a vow? Marvin, what
about you?
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Patino?
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Eight?
Speaker 6 (35:36):
Paul, this is a toughie and I wrote it. Calipari.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
I'm gonna say Calipari two. I think.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
So I'm trying to figure where am I going to
have some fun? I mean, really, that's what it's come
down to.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Yes, you know.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
Two like, uh, he just seems to be a father
figure that I'm comfortable with. Count Berry, Yeah, okay, yeah,
he seems to be like a guy. That all right,
If you're going to sort of help me raise my son,
I'm cool with you doing that.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Okay, Yeah, I just don't want to get yelled at.
That's all I got yelled at when I went to
Eastern Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
I don't want to get yelled at anymore.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Yukon is a blank basketball school. Todd Renown, Okay, Seaton
very good, Marvin the best. I think Paul was going
for something else here was yes.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Good out of us.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Nobody took the bait, nobody took debate. If it's a
when men's are women's basketball school, Paul, let me ask
you your question. Yukon is a blank basketball school.
Speaker 6 (36:45):
I was going to go women's, but I'm going to
go underrated basketball school.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Underrated.
Speaker 6 (36:51):
The men's program is actually underrated because of the women's program.
When they still talk about blue bloods as if North
Carolina and Indiana, they never throw you CON's name in
or generation in.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
I wish the school I went to were a big
time blank school god.
Speaker 19 (37:15):
Stand up comedian training. It would be less nervous and
more likely to go on stage and.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
In New York City.
Speaker 19 (37:24):
I know thanks to you, I got on stage I
had no business being on. But that being said, it
would have been nice to have maybe honed my craft
at an earlier at age it and be more brave.
I don't think you're coachable, but hey, yeah, Ny, you
didn't offer that. They had a film school, in law,
school of medicine, everything. I don't think they had to
stand up comedy classes.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Adam Sandler went there. Oh he did that, Yes, he did, Seaton.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
I wish the school I went to were a big
time blank school.
Speaker 7 (37:51):
Uh yeah, yeah, that's a tricky one because I went
to West Virginia. Good football, good basketball, great parties. It's
actually got a great education. I wish that it was
a big time how about.
Speaker 12 (38:09):
This better for me at that moment in my life school?
Speaker 3 (38:11):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 12 (38:13):
I always said I.
Speaker 7 (38:13):
Was more prepared for West Virginia than West Virginia was
prepared for me. I was well versed in many of
the wrong sides of collegiate life, and I was a honors.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Student Marvin.
Speaker 12 (38:29):
Great Weather School.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Okay, oh all right, Paul.
Speaker 6 (38:33):
I wish the school I went to a big time
basketball school, heavyweight.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
I wish the school I went to were a big
time past fail school that would have been nice.
Speaker 12 (38:43):
I would have graduated.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Yes, sure, like Brown University. It's past fail.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I think I could pretty I could navigate that retiring
at okay, this is the Puka Nakua story. Puka Nakua
says that he wants to retire at.
Speaker 20 (39:03):
And that's what I want to retire at the age
of thirty. I'm twenty three right now, I'm going into
year three. I think of Aaron Donald, like man, like
to go out at the top.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
I think it would be super cool.
Speaker 20 (39:11):
But then also be like yo, like I want to
I want to have a big family, just like I want.
I want to have at least the starting five. I'm like,
I came from a big family. He said, thirty five boys.
I need five boys for sure, that's cool. But also
be like man, I want to be able to be
a part of their lives and like like be as
active as I can with them. So from like I
don't want to be the injuries are something that you
can't control. Part of the games. Like I'm man, like
(39:31):
you never know. Hopefully like the rest of our career
go healthy. But I'm like, man, you have shoulder surgery,
you have knee surgery, you have ankle and be like, yo, like,
by the time my kids could be eighteen, I'm like,
I could be very walking if I like, if you
play the game, and like you sustain all the injuries.
Speaker 12 (39:43):
I want to retire early.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Okay, it's early to be talking about retiring early, But
when you're twenty three, thirty sounds really old. He's going
to be twenty four. Aaron Donald retired at thirty, and
I understand that you want to be able to retire
and and raise a family. And at that position, he's
just seeing Cooper cup uh, you know, kind of get
(40:06):
kicked to the curb by the rams at that age.
I don't know if you're he's going to get one
big contract, he might not get another one. There, So,
retiring at thirty sounds blank. Todd wonderfully odd, Okay.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Seaton.
Speaker 12 (40:26):
Like science fiction or a fairy tale, not even real.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Marvin rich as hell, Paul uncomfortable. Retiring at thirty sounds regretful. Regretful.
That's fill in the blank.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
We did it.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
We did another episode of filling the blank. Congratulations job
well done. No really, round of applause for all you guys.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
Then I like.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Calling the black It's fun yeah, Paul gives great thought
to that. Oh, you don't a medium amount of it. Okay, yeah,
but nobody took the bait. Connecticutte is a blank basketball school.
A very good yes, yes, very well rounded topical. Final
(41:17):
hour on the way more phone calls eight seven to
seven to three DP show operator sitting by taking your
phone calls. I still got to get you back on
stage to do stand up one more time in the
next three years.
Speaker 12 (41:31):
I love making people laugh.
Speaker 19 (41:32):
It just gets a little nervous.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Sometimes that's not called for at all.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Our two.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Dan and the Dan Edge Dan Patrick Show, and we'll
talk to Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo. It's our
annual get together with coach Izzo. Usually when he's in
the Sweet sixteen or the Elite eight, he will join us.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Coming up here in a little bit.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America
Official Trading Cards of the program SA. Good morning, those
watching on Peacock, Thank you for downloading the app, our
streaming partner and our radio affiliates around the country, Danpatrick
dot com. Everything is on sale. Go take advantage of
all of the great offers there. You knew it when
(00:39):
you saw it, if you watched it live, you knew
Juju Watkins had suffered a severe knee injury. Now we're
finding out that she did tear her acl. USC did advance,
but they will have to advance without Juju Watkins as
she will be out for the rest of the tournament
and for quite a few months of rehab. Show have
(00:59):
surgery immediately and they'll try to move on without her.
And you know, the selection committee did set it up
that USC was going to play Connecticut in the Elite eight.
And you know, this was the same philosophy with IOWA
and LSU last year, where why not wait and let
them play in the National Champion You want to ensure
(01:19):
that they get to play. And Iowa and LSU lived
up to that billing, and we were hoping for another
rematch with USC and Yukon. Yukon won big last night
and Paige Becker's her last game, her home game, and
you know, you start to see because the women are
there for four years, sometimes five years if they get injured.
(01:42):
Paige Becker's gone through a couple of surgeries and you
could see the emotion on Geno Orim's face and I
you know, it kind of came out of nowhere, but
he realized right there that she he was saying goodbye
to her on her home turf at Yukon. And you know,
when you we see college athletes now, certainly in basketball,
(02:04):
you're wont and done. So there's not that relationship with
the fans of the coaches. It's a six month process.
There you're dealing with years and everything, the highs and
lows that go into that, and that's where it is
a business. But then there's still that personal attachment that
you see with some coaches, some players, a community. Then
(02:25):
you saw that with Paige Becker's last night. But she
gets to continue to play while Juju Watkins is out
for well quite some time. You know, it's probably seven
months having torn an acl but I wasn't coming back
to anything.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
You know, it's a long, long process.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
And as great as she's been the face of the sport,
all of these commercials. You know, I'm watching this morning,
she's there with the you know, they're they're promoting March
Madness for the women. She's got a State Farm commercial,
got a Nike commercial. I mean, she is a This
is one of those not just a basketball player, She's
(03:09):
more than that. And playing in Los Angeles, she had
become the face of the sport and she brought out celebrities,
you know, Jayden Daniels coming out this year. You know,
she's that kind of magnetic personality talent. Yes, Marvin, if
you're the.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Head of women's college basketball at the NCAA, what do
you guys do as far as focusing your attention on
another player like Hadalo from Notre Dame, Like, what do
you guys? Doo just focus on South Carolina as a whole.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I mean, do you change your focus to go more
Connecticut centric?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
South Carolina doesn't have that one. They have a lot
of players that's really their coach LSU. It's about their
coach for the most part, although they do have the Johnson. Yeah,
she's a talent, she's personality, got a music career. You know,
she's a good basketball player. You know, bets at UCLA.
(04:12):
But you know, I don't know how ESPN is going
to sell this spin this now and be because it
was going to be about Juju Watkins that she was
going to be leading her team to a national championship.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah, Pauline, Yeah, FLA J.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Johnson for LSU. She's on a lot of ads. She's
in like a financial services ad and like how to
manage your money And it's not in theory. She's actually
dealing with this at at twenty years old.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
All right, age seven seven three d P show email
address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at dp show. We
stumbled upon a is your school a basketball school or
a football school? You may want your school because I
was thinking of Arkansas. Arkansas they want to be a
football school, but they're a basketball school. You're in SEC
(04:58):
country and you desperately want to be a football school.
I get it, but you're not. You know, Kentucky is
a basketball school. If they've had success in football, they
want to be a basketball school. They're fine with being
a basketball school. Indiana would like to be a basketball school.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Again.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
It's sort of like, wait a minute, come on, football team,
don't get too good because we don't even make the
tournament here. But yeah, so everybody getting territorial here. I
don't want to hear about. Well, Arkansas back in the
sixty you know, nineteen sixty nine playing for a national
championship in football, Yeah, I got it. Or Jerry Jones
(05:38):
and Jimmy Johnson played for I get it. With that,
I would say, Nolan Richardson, you know Eric Musselman now
coach Cown. I mean that was the point. You're looking
at Arkansas in the sweet sixteen and they're a basketball school.
I mean, there's no shame in it. Like you have
to cut an Oregon. Oregon to me is a football school,
(06:00):
even though they're having more success. It feels like basketball wise,
USC football school but not having great success as a
football school. But historically I'm talking about now like it
is Utah. Utah's a football school, right, Arizona basketball school,
(06:26):
Florida State football school, even though they haven't been. Here's
one North Carolina. North Carolina basketball school or football school.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Marvin basketball.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Okay, they've won national titles in the last ten years.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Yeah, Paul, overwhelmingly basketball, but the coverage lately is about
their football team positively.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
South Carolina women's basketball. No, I know that's what they
might be known for. But are they a football scho
or a basketball school?
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Well, just you don't need to say women's it's just
a basketball school, okay, because that would include the women's.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Okay, Well, they're terrible in men's basketball, so that's why
I only said the women they're average.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
They although they were one of the two teams out
of the SEC that didn't make the tournament. Jamie, that's embarrassing,
Jamie in Iowa. I mean, yes, of course, everybody made
it but us.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
Hey Jamie, Hey, morning fellas.
Speaker 9 (07:30):
That was my question.
Speaker 10 (07:31):
That's ironically, you guys are talking about juju and then
you bring up women's basketball, because that's what I was
going to ask. I wanted to hear your opinion is
like South Carolina when you think of Don Staley, do
you think of South Carolina as a football school or
a women's basketball school? Or like last year when our
women went on a couple runs. Were we a football
(07:52):
school in Iowa? Or were we a women's basketball school?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
You were a women's basketball school the last couple of years.
Uh plus you were seeing so much offense on the
women's basketball team and no offense on the football team.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
No way, too soon? Yeah, all right, thank you? Vin
in Kansas? Hi, Vin, Hey, good one, guys.
Speaker 11 (08:18):
How are you doing so? I'm calling as a Kansas
State graduate. You know, up until Bill Schneyer, K State
was just a basketball school, and now I consider it's
probably a football school. Likewise, my arch enemy KU hasn't
really been able to produce a football team, even though
they spent money on it.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, Kansas is still a basketball school, you know, as
long as Bill self is there k State, I'd say
a football school.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, I m'd say a football school. Shuffles in Phoenix
High Shuffles, Morning.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Morning, Pat. I've never called into the Pat Patrick Show,
but this is awesome and I want to I'm here
to say it was which I'm a fan of and
I know Dan, you and Marvin want to disparage them,
but I think Arizona is a football school during football
season and a basketball school during basketball season.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
No, no, no, you can't do it that way. Shuffles and
I don't disparage Arizona. Arizona does a good job disparaging
themselves when it comes to basketball.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
We should have three national championships. I don't know what
happened in nineteen ninetyears and in nineteen and two thousand
and one, Mike Dunleavy Junior went off on the Steph
Curry before Steph Curry, I don't even know where Mike
Dunleavy Junior. It is not that that should have never happened.
We should have had three national championships.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
No, but you, but you don't. You don't.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Mike Dunleavy Junior is the GM of the Golden State Warriors.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yes, Tod, I think they stopped giving up.
Speaker 12 (09:46):
They should have awards a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
That we should have won quite a few sports that man, right, Yeah, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
The job you want is a football coach at a
basketball school. So let's say you're the full Paul coach
of Kentucky. You win eight games, everyone's happy. No one's
gonna get upset. Mark, Stoops, how long has he He's
been there twelve years? Stoops. There it is at Kentucky.
And he'll go five and seven, seven and six. Then
he'll throw out a ten and three. Yeah, everyone's happy
and he gets an extension.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
It's like being the head football coach at Duke.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yes, you know, it's like, oh, look at you what
you guys did, like, you know, you pat him on the.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Head, look at what you did? Just be above five hundred.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Yeah, those schools are like, hey, I think we got
a guy this year that's actually pretty good.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah, you know, like it's nice.
Speaker 12 (10:32):
Bubbled up like I think we got a guy this year.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
I think we got a guy named Danny Dimes. Yeah, yes, yes, Mark.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Remember a few years back, Kansas went to the Orange
Bowl and I was like, Kansas, Oh, get out of here.
Give that guy a lifetime extension please.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, it's like you got to go back to the
Gaels Sayers days like Kansas, Yeah, heck you uh, let
me see Aiden in Utah, Aiden in Utah.
Speaker 13 (11:00):
Hey, man, how's it going? First and foremost, University of
Utah is a ski school. Okay, sixteen national championship, yeah,
I do. We want seventh straight. Okay, My bad.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Aid Aiden, My apologies, My apologies. I didn't realize how dominant, yeah,
that they've been in skiing.
Speaker 13 (11:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Okay, I think he accepted my apology. They're the UCLA
basketball of skiing, Utah, My bad should have known that.
Although if you ask the athletic director, what do you
want to be known as? You know, we're the skiing school,
(11:46):
or do you want to be known as a football school.
We want we're going to change our name to ski
You Jim in Michigan and people are getting territory oriel here.
Hey Jim, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (12:03):
Not too much?
Speaker 14 (12:04):
Dan, A good morning. Uh, you know Michigan, and I'm
gonna say Michigan Football school. And not even just because
you know, even though we're playing great basketball right now,
when you hear the word Michigan, you automatically think of
the big House.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Yeah, I think of the helmets. Yeah. Absolutely. Let me
see Caleb in Augusta.
Speaker 9 (12:26):
Hi, Caleb, Hi, Dan six two two sixty And question
for you and the boys, how many championships would Bill
Belichick have to win at UNC for it to be
considered a football school over a basketball school.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
One, thank thank you, k Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yes, if Bill Belichick wins a championship in North Carolina,
they're a.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Football school.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Out of Carolina.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
No, they may not want that, but they would be
viewed as they would be viewed as a football made.
Speaker 12 (13:13):
Michael Jordan that they're never going to be a football school.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Ever, they didn't make Michael.
Speaker 12 (13:19):
The football team is wearing a Jordan logo.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
They kept Jordan down. Yes, they didn't make him. They
kept him down.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Never will Carolina be a football Never.
Speaker 12 (13:30):
They could win three straight and they're still If.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
North Carolina won three straight national titles in football, yes, yeah.
But the basketball team, you know, they just barely they
limped in. They trickled into the first four, yes, mark, But.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
They went to the final four in twenty twenty two,
so it's not like they've been on a forty year downside.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Okay, So when's their last national title.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
I'm gonna say twenty seventeen.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
Okay, yes, Paul, Yeah, North Carolina in the past twenty
five years had two seasons with ten or more winks.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
If they won a title in football, they'd be like
renting themselves as like a temp as a football and
like a holding pattern til basketball took over.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Be a pretty big deal.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
If they won a national title at North Carolina, You
got that right.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
I'm I'm just putting it would be a pretty like
a devastating blow to nil. Actually, we'd be like, oh, okay,
now nil has gone too far.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
If these dudes are winning.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
If this school is winning a national championship in football,
we need to curb nil right now.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Look, if Belichick's girlfriend is running the collective, they're going
to win. She's gonna make some deals. She's gonna get
some things done there behind the scenes, guaranteed. I mean,
if you get Bill Belichick to lie on his back
on the beach and hold you up like you're an airplane,
she can do anything. It's like, hey, Bill, Yeah, how
(14:55):
about you lie on your back and we let something
go viral?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
What's viral? No, it'll go all around the internet. Oh
so it's not something I have wrong with me? A condition?
Speaker 9 (15:07):
No?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
No, no, you wanted to go viral.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Okay, you lie on your back in the sand with
your shorts on and those big muscular thighs and then
you hold me up and then I'm gonna be like,
I'm flying.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Okay if she can get him to do that, come on, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Bill's girlfriend would be like, who's Michael Jordan is that?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
It seems you know his name is the same as
the Jordan brand. Imagine that you played basketball.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah, all right, let me take a break. Tom Iszo
is going to join us.

So we'll wait for the Michigan State head coach. Let's
(17:15):
see Pat in South Carolina? Hi, Pat, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Hello?
Speaker 8 (17:21):
Man six four hard two thirty hard. I am also
a three time dd C club member and want to
wait in on the Tennessee being definitely a football tool.
But I have a Sat of the Day boy too.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Okay, here we go with the stat of the Day.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
Tennessee is the only program in the country with a
top ten in football, basketball, and baseball.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
All right, Sat, They brought to you by a Panini America,
the official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show sixteen
times to the Sweet sixteen his yearly visit with The
Dan Patrick Show. He is Hall of Famer Tom Izzo
(18:12):
joining us on the program. What's your schedule today?
Speaker 16 (18:16):
My schedule. I got in here about seven, seven thirty
and had a little film work, answered some texas and
then talk to my staff about what we're going to
do in practice and get a press conference in a
little bit, some more staff meeting and then practice. That's
my day.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
How's the voice?
Speaker 16 (18:37):
It's great? Great. Get a little sleep. He got a
little sleep last night for the first time night before.
Not much. But it's the same as every other coach,
and just I'm a little older than some of them.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
The balance of coaching this week and the transfer portal,
how do you focus on one when you need to
and the other one when you need to.
Speaker 16 (18:59):
Yeah, you know, I'm putting everything towards my team. I
owe them to that. I think, you know, recruiting is
very important. The transfer portal to me isn't as important yet,
but recruiting is very important. And yet my old boss
used to have a theory says, problem with young assistants.
They spend so much time getting the next player, they
(19:20):
forget to take care of the one they got. And
I think there's some validity to that. You know, there's
a happy medium. My happy medium when you get to
the sweet sixteen and on is you know, you don't
always get here. So everything's going to be from my team,
the players on my team. We'll let everybody else worry
about the transfer portal. Hopefully winning helps somebody, even though
(19:40):
you and I know it doesn't. It's all about the
money now. But that's okay too.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
But help me with the philosophy of recruiting, because you
don't have many one of don's, like Jason Richardson, was
a one and done. I don't do you go at
you know, do you try to go after the one
and donners or do you have that philosophy of I'll
take the guy who might stay here three or four years.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
No, I'd love to.
Speaker 16 (20:04):
Have Jared Jackson, Miles Bridges, you know, where guys Gary
Harris that we're one in two years and done, and
you know, you got to have some those kind of
talented players, you know, to do that. But no, I
don't shy away from that at all. It's just they're
not as easy to get, you know, for the most part,
A lot of those programs, you know, Duke and Kentucky
(20:27):
has had more of those kind of players. Maybe Kansas some,
but I don't think there's as many programs as you
think there are that are getting those kind of players.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
How do you coach differently in March than November?
Speaker 16 (20:42):
You know, I don't think I coached that much differently.
I just think that there's kind of a culture and
a feel here that when it comes to February, everybody
knows the NCAA tournament. We've had some success in it,
and I think I think the players that come here
expect everything to be ratcheted up a little bit as
(21:03):
you get to the end of the year, and it's exciting.
It's not a you know, like my players after we
won on Sunday, The first thing they said in the
locker room, because usually we give them Monday off, is
let's practice Monday. That came from the players, you know,
so they know what time of year it is and
they know what they got to do.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Is Michigan State a football school or a basketball school?
Speaker 16 (21:27):
It's a football school, which I think ninety percent of
these schools are. You know, we all I have such
a great relationship with all the football guys here. I've
always had a great relationship with them because I realized
that they're still making seventy percent of the money. What
I think is unique about Michigan State, and there's a
couple of schools that have this, is we've been pretty
(21:50):
successful in both. You know, nine years ago we both
went to a Final four. Those are what's really exciting
about schools like this.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Ever coached again a coach that you don't like, Like.
Speaker 16 (22:02):
Sure, sure you do, even though I get along with
most of the coaches, But there's coaches I wouldn't say
don't like. Maybe I didn't respect as much because the
things that were going on. Now that's changed now because
we don't have any rules anymore. So you know, it's
easier now I can like everybody.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Okay, but if you know such, so are we talking
about if somebody was cheating, Like you're going to face
somebody and you know they were cheating, that's when you
have that.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
I don't respect you.
Speaker 16 (22:33):
That's what I have privately. I don't share that publicly
very often.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
But I mean, but what's it like in the handshake line?
You don't walk by and go cheater and then just
good game, good game, good game, cheater, good game, good game.
Speaker 11 (22:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (22:49):
I don't do that at all. I think I respect
every coach I go against because even the guys that
I thought were doing stuff back in the day, I
know how hard these jobs are. And Judge used to
say the game makes fools of us all. Well, that
there's some truth to that.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
When's the last time you ask Magic Johnson to help
you with the recruit.
Speaker 16 (23:12):
I'll ask them all the time, but I really don't
have to ask him. You know, he's always tweeting out
something or he's saying something, and you know, now they're
actually allowed to help you legally. Yeah, if you come
to campus and they get there. It used to be
where you know, if you had a football game and
just happened a Magic seats were behind the recruit seat,
(23:32):
but now you can sit them right with them as
long as they're on campus. But you know, Magic's been great.
I mean a lot of the former players that I
coached have been great with it, and it helps when
you have but Jason Richardson, Jace Richardson, the son of
a player that's getting good. I'm going for grandsons though.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Now, yeah, how much longer you got these coaches who
are saying I can't, I don't want to do it anymore.
You know, it's transfer portal nil and it's just not
the way it once was. So what's motivating you to
continue to do this stubbornness?
Speaker 16 (24:07):
To be honestly, it's total stubbornness. I still love what
I do. I don't like what has gone on. I
don't think anybody does, to be very honest with you,
and you know, some say it, some don't say it.
But right now I've taken a better, better stance with myself.
For a couple of years, I was on all those
committees and I just kind of gotten off where I
(24:29):
don't worry about my team and not worry about all
the things that I can't control. And unfortunately, nobody can
control what's going on right now. There is no control.
That saddens me for our profession. But it is what
it is. So I when in Rome do like the Romans.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
You know, it sounded like a grumpy old man, get
off my lawn. Where you were talking about playing games
after ten o'clock on the West coast.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
In the tournament, it was rumty.
Speaker 16 (25:00):
I just think it's very difficult to do that. You know,
we do, Dan, I don't know what you did at Dayton,
but we do go to school here too. You know
we are a student athlete.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Yeah, we never did that at Dayton.
Speaker 16 (25:13):
I know, I know, I understand that. But when you
get back at three in the morning, now you gotta prep.
It's just more difficult. I understand that TV pays the bills.
I love all the TV people, so I got I
got no problem. But it does get to wear on
you sitting there all day and that it's one part
I'd like to see changed a little bit. But it
is what it is. So I I don't think I
(25:36):
sounded grumpy about it. I expressed my opinion, but you
express your opinion all the time.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Grumpy. Yes, I'm gonna get off my line.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Guy, I think this had to do with your bedtime,
and that's what you were bothered by.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Now, I don't go to sleep now listen with the
Dratsford Bortal.
Speaker 16 (25:52):
You don't go to sleep everthon, you got to You've
got to go over and sit with your players, make
sure nobody's flying.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Do you have your phone on vibrate? Yeah, by your bed? Yeah,
okay after midnight? Oh yeah, all the time. I mean,
you never know what's going to happen. You know, there's
a lot of things that happened. But but if you
had to bail somebody out of jail or anything like that,
(26:21):
have I had to in the past.
Speaker 16 (26:23):
There's things like that that happened. Yeah, you know, sometimes
it's not always for bad things, you know, parking tickets
and he gets picked up or something. But yeah, any
coach that tells you they don't have their phone on
at night or they sleep probably lying to you.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Single best player you ever coached against was who.
Speaker 16 (26:45):
Ah boy. You know, when I was an assistant shack,
we played against I played against grand Hill. I thought
was one of the greatest players. But boy, that's a
loaded question, and I'm not saying that against anybody they're
just man when you're at this level. He played against
a lot of great players.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
What was the scouting report on Shock? Really big? I
was just a GA back then.
Speaker 16 (27:11):
That was in my early days, and I remember telling
jud Boy, that guy's a big guy, you know. But
he was good.
Speaker 10 (27:19):
He was good.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
I like Shack, but you knew who was so good?
Was Chris Jackson?
Speaker 16 (27:25):
He was?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
He was good more more my size too.
Speaker 16 (27:28):
That's why I should like a lot more.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
But he was.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
I mean, imagine him in today's game. He would he
would break you off the I mean off the dribble crossover.
And he was so quick with that jumper.
Speaker 16 (27:41):
Yeah, and he could shoot it from long range. So
he probably would fit in since the three is more
prevalent now. I don't even think the three had just
come in then. It was right around that time because
I know we had Scott Skyles and we didn't have
a three point shot then that was an eighty six.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Now, help me, is the story true about Scott Scounds
and John Thompson?
Speaker 16 (28:03):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
The it was Actually it was in Dayton yet that
at the tournament, right.
Speaker 16 (28:08):
Yeah, there was nothing bad with John Thompson, but they
really got after him. The first half, and uh, I
think Scott was zero for nine and I just remember
that halftime. He was sitting in there and uh, We're
playing Georgetown, and I mean he was seating, you know,
and he played really good the second half. He woned.
So you know, Scott had a tendency to talk stuff,
(28:30):
but uh, tell you what, he was a help player?
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Did he did?
Speaker 2 (28:34):
He say to Thompson while dribbling the ball to John
on the sidelines, why didn't you get somebody bleeping out
here who can guard me?
Speaker 16 (28:43):
Did he guard me?
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yes?
Speaker 16 (28:45):
You know, I didn't hear it. I heard about it,
but I do believe it. I do believe it. It was.
It was one of the things that Scott was. He
was good at but he backed up what he said.
So you got to give him credit there.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Uh, great to talk to you again. I'll talk to
you next year at this time, all right.
Speaker 11 (29:04):
You and I'm still going to be here.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
I will be were you to be in a transfer portal?
Speaker 16 (29:10):
Are you going somewhere else?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
I got three more years? Do you have three more years?
Speaker 16 (29:14):
I got seven?
Speaker 3 (29:15):
You're gonna be there seven more years?
Speaker 16 (29:17):
Oh? I got seven on my contract?
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Yeah, but you guys don't live up to those contracts.

Well, do you live up the years?

You know what, my money because I do enjoy you.
You're crazy in your own way, but so am I. Someday,
when we're done, we'll play golf and get along.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
I would like to play one on one with you
in basketbare you go. I'm going to slap the floor
just to let you know I'm gonna lock you down.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Coach.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
You can bring in Steve Maryuci if you want to.
I don't care.
Speaker 16 (29:47):
I'm breaking Mooch.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
He didn't scare me. Mooch doesn't scare me either.
Speaker 16 (29:52):
Well, I appreciate you having me on Dan, and you
have a good rest of the tournament. I'll try to
do the same.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
All right, coach. That's tom Is Hall of Famer. They
got ole miss or what was it who called it
olay miss? Somebody back at ESPN. Their mother was in
a bracket challenge and maybe it was it feel the
show Killer's mom. It was who said, oh, I'm going
to take Olay miss Olay.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Olay, Olay.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Let me see Peter in Colorado. Yeah, I've known Izzo
a long long time.
Speaker 17 (30:26):
Hey Pete, Hey guys, so I have not called into
your show probably ever, but I've been listening to you
since you were for thirty years or something like that.
So I called in and it brought me to an
automated message and I asked if I was fifty years
or older, and I was like, that seems weird, but okay.
(30:48):
And then there was another automated voice that came on
and asked me if I told me I could get
a medical alert bracelet for a great price right now.
So I called eight eight eight three DP show and
I thought maybe you were fritzy, because.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I might enjoy that. But my real question was, yes.
Speaker 17 (31:10):
My real question, I'm from Minnesota, So what what school
is Minnesota?
Speaker 3 (31:15):
I didn't even know.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Okay, I'm gonna take hockey. They're known for hockey. But
if you say if this is basketball or football, I
would probably say football. Got a charismatic coach there, but yeah,
you're a hockey school.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Definitely. Chris in New Jersey, Hi, Chris, what's on your mind?
Speaker 13 (31:39):
Hey Dan?
Speaker 17 (31:39):
Thanks for taking my call?
Speaker 18 (31:40):
Yep, I got to bring up the Florida Gators. You
know they go back they go football, two titles with
Tim Tebow and then you go back to back with basketball,
not to mention he and then he threw in baseball
I think within like a five year period there and
then plus al Horford is still repping that Florida Gators
championship at a high I mean, come on, thanks thinking
(32:01):
my call.
Speaker 8 (32:02):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Wait, I didn't dispute anything with Florida, Chris, what what's
the argument on?
Speaker 11 (32:10):
No?
Speaker 18 (32:10):
No, I was just saying, because that seems like everyone's
getting a little heated bringing up like different sports, So
I just had to throw in Florida there that they're
kind of they did like a powerhouse move there for
all three sports at one point.
Speaker 8 (32:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Yeah, you know, we brought that up with Urban and
Billy Donovan. Now are they more of a basketball school
than a football school? I mean, you still think of Florida,
I think of Florida football. But it's and it's you
can be too close to it. You can be an
alum and you can say, oh no, we're this. I'm
(32:42):
just saying from a national perspective from the outside looking in.
When you say this school, you think of what athletically.
If I say UCLA, you think.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Basketball, basketball?
Speaker 19 (32:56):
Right?
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Sure, Yeah, for sure, there's no football there.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Everything? Okay?
Speaker 4 (34:19):

Speaker 3 (34:20):
Did you forget that we were doing a show?
Speaker 16 (34:22):
No?
Speaker 12 (34:22):
No, no, I did not.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Sometimes you get in the zone out there on the
basketball floor.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
No I was not out there.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Okay, all right, we're ready to play fill in the blank.
All right, So Todd, I'm gonna start with you. I'll
read the statement. The Titans should take Blank with the
number one overall.
Speaker 19 (34:40):
Pick, the best deal they can get for several drafts elections.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Okay, so they should take a trade for the number
one pick.
Speaker 12 (34:49):
That was ten words.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
But uh, it's okay. You could have just said a trade.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Okay, all right, fair enough, seatan fill in the blank.
Titans should take Blank, take trade. Okay, yes, Marvin cam Ward,
all right, Paul, trade offers. Titan should take cam Ward
with the number one pick. The options are Cali Peri, Patino, Izzo,
(35:16):
I'd want my son to play for Frank don Rick Pattino.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Setan.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Uh, actually, in exactly that order, Cali Peri, Patino Iszo.
Gotta have your name end in a vow? Marvin, what
about you?
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Patino?
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Eight?
Speaker 6 (35:36):
Paul, this is a toughie and I wrote it. Calipari.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
I'm gonna say Calipari two. I think.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
So I'm trying to figure where am I going to
have some fun? I mean, really, that's what it's come
down to.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Yes, you know.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
Two like, uh, he just seems to be a father
figure that I'm comfortable with. Count Berry, Yeah, okay, yeah,
he seems to be like a guy. That all right,
If you're going to sort of help me raise my son,
I'm cool with you doing that.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Okay, Yeah, I just don't want to get yelled at.
That's all I got yelled at when I went to
Eastern Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
I don't want to get yelled at anymore.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Yukon is a blank basketball school. Todd Renown, Okay, Seaton
very good, Marvin the best. I think Paul was going
for something else here was yes.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Good out of us.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Nobody took the bait, nobody took debate. If it's a
when men's are women's basketball school, Paul, let me ask
you your question. Yukon is a blank basketball school.
Speaker 6 (36:45):
I was going to go women's, but I'm going to
go underrated basketball school.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Underrated.
Speaker 6 (36:51):
The men's program is actually underrated because of the women's program.
When they still talk about blue bloods as if North
Carolina and Indiana, they never throw you CON's name in
or generation in.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
I wish the school I went to were a big
time blank school god.
Speaker 19 (37:15):
Stand up comedian training. It would be less nervous and
more likely to go on stage and.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
In New York City.
Speaker 19 (37:24):
I know thanks to you, I got on stage I
had no business being on. But that being said, it
would have been nice to have maybe honed my craft
at an earlier at age it and be more brave.
I don't think you're coachable, but hey, yeah, Ny, you
didn't offer that. They had a film school, in law,
school of medicine, everything. I don't think they had to
stand up comedy classes.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Adam Sandler went there. Oh he did that, Yes, he did, Seaton.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
I wish the school I went to were a big
time blank school.
Speaker 7 (37:51):
Uh yeah, yeah, that's a tricky one because I went
to West Virginia. Good football, good basketball, great parties. It's
actually got a great education. I wish that it was
a big time how about.
Speaker 12 (38:09):
This better for me at that moment in my life school?
Speaker 3 (38:11):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 12 (38:13):
I always said I.
Speaker 7 (38:13):
Was more prepared for West Virginia than West Virginia was
prepared for me. I was well versed in many of
the wrong sides of collegiate life, and I was a honors.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Student Marvin.
Speaker 12 (38:29):
Great Weather School.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Okay, oh all right, Paul.
Speaker 6 (38:33):
I wish the school I went to a big time
basketball school, heavyweight.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
I wish the school I went to were a big
time past fail school that would have been nice.
Speaker 12 (38:43):
I would have graduated.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Yes, sure, like Brown University. It's past fail.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I think I could pretty I could navigate that retiring
at okay, this is the Puka Nakua story. Puka Nakua
says that he wants to retire at.
Speaker 20 (39:03):
And that's what I want to retire at the age
of thirty. I'm twenty three right now, I'm going into
year three. I think of Aaron Donald, like man, like
to go out at the top.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
I think it would be super cool.
Speaker 20 (39:11):
But then also be like yo, like I want to
I want to have a big family, just like I want.
I want to have at least the starting five. I'm like,
I came from a big family. He said, thirty five boys.
I need five boys for sure, that's cool. But also
be like man, I want to be able to be
a part of their lives and like like be as
active as I can with them. So from like I
don't want to be the injuries are something that you
can't control. Part of the games. Like I'm man, like
(39:31):
you never know. Hopefully like the rest of our career
go healthy. But I'm like, man, you have shoulder surgery,
you have knee surgery, you have ankle and be like, yo, like,
by the time my kids could be eighteen, I'm like,
I could be very walking if I like, if you
play the game, and like you sustain all the injuries.
Speaker 12 (39:43):
I want to retire early.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Okay, it's early to be talking about retiring early, But
when you're twenty three, thirty sounds really old. He's going
to be twenty four. Aaron Donald retired at thirty, and
I understand that you want to be able to retire
and and raise a family. And at that position, he's
just seeing Cooper cup uh, you know, kind of get
(40:06):
kicked to the curb by the rams at that age.
I don't know if you're he's going to get one
big contract, he might not get another one. There, So,
retiring at thirty sounds blank. Todd wonderfully odd, Okay.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Seaton.
Speaker 12 (40:26):
Like science fiction or a fairy tale, not even real.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Marvin rich as hell, Paul uncomfortable. Retiring at thirty sounds regretful. Regretful.
That's fill in the blank.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
We did it.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
We did another episode of filling the blank. Congratulations job
well done. No really, round of applause for all you guys.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
Then I like.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Calling the black It's fun yeah, Paul gives great thought
to that. Oh, you don't a medium amount of it. Okay, yeah,
but nobody took the bait. Connecticutte is a blank basketball school.
A very good yes, yes, very well rounded topical. Final
(41:17):
hour on the way more phone calls eight seven to
seven to three DP show operator sitting by taking your
phone calls. I still got to get you back on
stage to do stand up one more time in the
next three years.
Speaker 12 (41:31):
I love making people laugh.
Speaker 19 (41:32):
It just gets a little nervous.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Sometimes that's not called for at all.
