You go generic, bro, look, you go generic.

Give your woman a size medium small, large, whatever. She
going cut that shirt up and design it. I've seen
it on TikTok Vanessa does it. She does it because
I got her a I got her a a shirt

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Was it Zach Brian? Don't And she cut it all up.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Bro, Why I don't know?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Wait wait, wait, y you bought a concert tee and
those things are like fifty sixty seventy bucks.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yes, she cuts it looks great.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Okay, well, I mean that's I guess that's why I'm
just taking back to like, if I just spent that
much my own shirt, I'm wearing the shirt.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah, okay, I'm sorry I threw me off there a bit.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I also, we're gonna have to call it because there's
like a hum coming on in this studio.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I don't know why. Oh I don't hear a hum?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I do anyways, but no, but it's I want to
get shirts that say I'm a fanatic.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I like that with the little taken step and sixty
logo on one side, maybe the iHeart logo on the
other side.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Get some kids shirt sizes, future fanatic and all that stuff. Dylan, Yes,
how's your bracket busted?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Pretty much instance.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Actually no, nobody picked me to be in there tournament.
So it's actually I.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Say, you's a link man. No, you didn't check the
junk mail. Never mind, anyway, I.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Would never put you in junk mail, sir.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
I don't. I don't believe that though. It's also just
because like you have this really random IP address. It
doesn't matter. We are down to six teams. Two more
play today to punch the ticket to their ticket to day.
And I gotta say I almost had a perfect bracket
in the East except for one game. And if that
(02:29):
continues today between Duke and Yukon, Yukon could be looking
at three championships in four years.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yea. As they take as they take on the Duke
Blue Devils.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Now, I had said before I think Saint John's would
beat Duke. I thought St. John should have won that game.
I'm not gonna get into it. They gave away to
many paint points in the paint.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
It is what it is.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
On the other aspect though, On the other bracket, let's
look at the West. Sean Elliott's Arizona Wildcats bear down again.
That makes no sense. No, They take on Purdue Perdue,
winning on a last second shot against Texas, Texas.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
One of the final Cinderellas. I guess you call them
left in the tournament.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
They win seventy nine, seventy seven, and then Arizona take
takes down Perdue yesterday seventy nine and sixty four.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
So Arizona is one of the teams sits in the
final four.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
They await the winner of today Tennessee and Michigan our
buddy ty su Dix, Michigan Wolverines. Michigan's good Michigan I
think is gonna again. I said Dogwalk'll reiterate it. They're
going to They're going to dogwalk Tennessee. And what sucks though,
because that means Michigan Arizona is a final four matchup,
not a championship game.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
And I think I truly believe.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
And nobody in the South had Iowa and Illinois right.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I know, I definitely did't see Illinois and Illinois made it.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I'll give them credit, but I also think that they
were given some favors because I think I would take
it down Florida.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I'm not sure what they would be in Florida.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
I mean, it's if I look, you look more and
more at the South rack at the South bracket was
definitely kind of weaker compared to the other ones because
the best team in that one was Florida. I thought
Florida was flogged compared to last year, Houston was the
two seed. I truly believe. I don't know what happened
in that Houston Illinois game. They took way too long
to shoot the basket, they avoided the paint, they let
Illinois control the clock, and the defense just deteriorated. And
(04:13):
that was not the same Houston Cougar team I've see
dominate all year long. And now Illinois I'll give him credit.
I will because they were losing for the longest time.
They actually had less time with the lead against Iowa
throughout that entire game, and they broke out in the
last ten minutes of the game.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
And now they're in the final four.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Hey, you know it's I think Michigan wins today, and
then I would I would tell you that Yukon is
gonna win because I don't think I agree. And by
the way, just so you know, I'm I've got on
the OU LSU softball match right now. It's the top
of the first Yeah, and ou has already hit two
(04:47):
home runs.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Yeah, I've been I've been flipping back between that one
and the Vandy Tennessee baseball game. I like watching college
baseball and softball. It's actually it's it's like like MLB.
It's very enjoyable before the term it gets started, and
then he gets stressful.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I am nothing, and they've already gotten rid of the
starting pitcher. For Ell, it's you, yeah, sorry, No, you're fine.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
You're fine.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
You've already made We've already made it clear. You and
I both think Michigan is gonna beat Tennessee. I don't
know if it's gonna be close. To be honest, it
could be. The Yukon Duke game is interesting to me
because I've been saying for a while, but I think
Duke is one of those teams that's very star dominant.
They're very good at their front at their first five.
I don't think they're as deep. Yukon I think is
better coach. I think they're a deeper team. I can't
(05:28):
get over the fact that Duke has been able to
stay in some of these games. Like you look at
the Siena game in the first round with Duke, they
almost lost to a sixteen seed.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yeah, next rounding is TCU.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
They won by twenty three, but that game was close
in the first ten minutes and then tc just fell apart.
So yes, which I'll give credit to. I'm not taking
anything away from Duke. And then again I thought Saint
john should have beat Duke, and they didn't. They they
Saint John's gave Duke way too many chances they met,
and they took way too many risky threes, and they
allowed Duke to win that game.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
And Saint John's had that game one.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
It felt like, I don't take this Duke team as seriously.
I understand they're a one seed. I understand they have
cam Boozers five and a half point favorites. I get
all that, But when I watched this Duke teamdyn't. I
don't see the same dominant Duke teams I've seen from
the past that were like number one seeds.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I think since the first round, everybody's been like Duke's exposed,
and they could be I Yukon is Yukon right.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
We could have step Castle tell us that, you know, they're.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Very good defensively, they're efficient, you know, they're they're kind
of they're kind of safe to be honest.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
But okay, so if I look at it, yeah, right,
let's say that Yukon and I think Yukon beats doookes
I did okay uh and the other one I think Michigan.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Right, Yes, what sucks, BRO.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Is that you're gonna have Arizona versus Michigan in a
semi final.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Those are the two best teams in college basketball.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
How does that happen?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
It's not fair because that should be the champion happened?
That should be the championship? Right, Yes, those are the
two best teams in basketball.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I don't care if they don't make it there, but
that's the way it should have backed out.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Yeah, because let's go with that finished. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
But like I because then you get Illinois or Yukon
in that scenario. Yes, I mean get me Yukon out
of there, because I don't think the Alani can do
much in the final four. This is their first final
four in what twenty.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Years or five? So twenty one, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Twenty one years.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Arizona Arizona Michigan is gonna be a dogfight, it is.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
That's gonna be the game to watch.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I'm gonna be texting Tie through that entire thing. Probably
if we were.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
To text Tie right now, he'd be like, Oh, we
got to get there first, which I totally agree they do.
I mean they dominated Bama, they dominated Saint Louis.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Has Michigan really been tested?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I mean yeah that the Big ten's a good basketball
conference this year.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
They Has Arizona been tested?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Yeah, yeah, they yes, they have, and the tournament are
just are in a tournament.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
In the tournament?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
No, Well, I get I think Arkansas.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Island, Utah State, Arkansas and Arkansas did not match that interorn.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Now a Cuff and Brazil are the two best players,
and it didn't matter. Arizona was just too dominant on
offense and defense. It didn't matter. No, I thought, you're
talk about overall the season, because in the season Arizona
and Michigan have both and tested heavily in their conference, right,
But in the tournament, no, they've I think matter of fact,
the closest game Michigan had was Bama and that wasn't even.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Close after the second half. No, they broke away from
that one.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I mean, hey, you kind of want to watch like
Arizona fall, right, I was. I was wanting to watch
Arizona fall last night. I was wanting to see if
they were gonna get tested, and they did. They survived
an eight point deficit at halftime right the news.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Going into the locker room, they're like, whoa boilmakers, let's go.
They come out in the second half and well, they fall.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Off the tracks.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
They laid an egg that they only had. They had
twenty six points all second half. You know.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
So, if I were to say Arizona's been tested in
the tournament, yes.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I think. I think them beating Arkansas is it was
a great win.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Not only beating Arkansas, just just killing them.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
I think also, to be honest, Utah State's an underrated win.
Even though they're a nine seed. Utah State was a
team I thought should have been at least a six
or seven.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
And yeah, I see what did their six to seven?
Speaker 4 (08:58):
But no, I think I do agree that I think
that Arizona being in the West, which makes sense in
Michigan in the Midwest makes sense. But I hate that
this has to be a final four matchup. Again, we're
projecting out that Michigan's gonna beat Tennessee because again, Michigan.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
And Arizona were the two best teams in college basketball
this year.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Preseason, I predicted Michigan to win the championship and still
it's still very much a possibility. Ironically, in my bracket
when I did my bracket challenge, I had Arizona win
the whole thing. So obviously, either like late season or
early season, Shane could be right.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
But what sucks with this as we kind of close
this out, what sucks is that, yes, we're projecting Michigan
to win. Yes, yes, we're projecting that Michigan plays Arizona.
That's gonna be a dog fight in the semi final,
a great game you get to the final, give it
to the other side that you know everybody's not watching. Obviously,
the Michigan Arizona game will be a night game for
(09:51):
the semi final, no doubt. But that's one of those
where it's like, Okay, whoever wins, you know, we'll have
the Well, whoever wins this one's gonna win the final.
Not so fast, because let's say that you know, the
ALIGNI or or Duke or Yukon get in there and
they just blow each other out.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It's twenty point game when arrest in your starters.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, you know, and so there's that, you know, So
we could have a an awesome semi final and a
terrible final.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
That's the worst when you have like two great semi
final games and the championship game is a twenty point.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Blowout that I hate that. Yeah, that's happened.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
It has.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I mean, there's a possibility here that we have three
one seeds going in there. Obviously the ALIGNI are number
three seed. So we'll see what happens. We'll see how
it plays out. But coming up next, I want to
get back over into the Ghost Spurs, Go Porvida, all
that stuff, because it's Fiesta time in San Antonio.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
On the fanatics, some ticket seven sixty
