Speaker 1 (00:00):
Eight from four. This is ESPN fifteen thirty mo Egger.
My cigar is lift. We're broadcasting from the Kroger Queen
City Championship, presented by P and G. We're loaded today,
but it's a Thursday, which means we spend time with
our guy, Chad Brendel, Bearcat Journal dot Com. Hi Chad.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Him?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Well, okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
You know how in like early like mid November, late November,
like in.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Basketball season, you always hear like there's a bug going around.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
You've got the the bug has hit the Brenda household
upper respiratory infection.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
No, not doing great, not doing great?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
All right, Well you're a gamer. We won't keep you long,
I am. We just have the thing to discuss. I'm
starting with basketball. I'm starting with basketball. Who's Lucas Atari.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
European from Brazil, six y four sixty five two guard.
That's good to me because I don't really know that
they have like a two guard on this team. We've
talked about that before. I think this gives them another European,
you know, tight skilled guy on the perimeter that has
(01:13):
a good jump shot. You know, you went out and
you got two guys late in the process. That you
think can come in and help your perimeter shooting. If
you can get one of them to pan out, you know,
I think it makes you better. So that's the benefit
of Corey Evans and some of his contacts overseas able
to get this one across the finish line. And I
(01:36):
think he can definitely help with a little bit of
size and length and definitely shooting on the perimeter.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
How should I feel about the football team through two games.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Right now?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Unfortunately, it feels like the talent's better, but the games
look similar.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
It feels like they're.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Working with more, but we're seeing similar things. We're seeing,
you know. Even in that Bowling Green game, though they're
up twenty four to three and got the ball, they
have a chance to just kind of put their foot
on Bowling Green's throat and just be done.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
With that game. Instead they fumble.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Bowling Green scores. It's twenty four to ten, mount to
two score game. The game was never really in doubt,
but there's no way that should should be a two
score game.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Like it's just.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
One of those things where they can never gain considerable
momentum over sixty minutes and really get on a roll.
It fits and starts all the time, and look, this
Northwest State team not good. Although the coach saying he's
(02:53):
coming to Cincinnati to have bland food.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Excuse me, sir, excuse me.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Anyhow, Uh, You're not gonna learn anything about yourself in
this game, I don't think. And then be in a
bye week in conference play starts. So I think if
you'd ask them internally inside the building, they they would
hope to have known a lot more positive after these
first two games. And we're still looking at him and going,
(03:21):
I've read this book before, I've watched this movie.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Unfortunately, I feel the same way. Like everything you just
said about that game last week, I concurred. You never
felt like they were gonna lose Eddie George. It seemed
to me like he was content to just cover the spread.
But he fumble one.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
It was.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
The fumble at twenty one. Nothing was painfully familiar, and
at that point I didn't think, oh my god, they're
gonna lose a Bowling Green. But it was one of
those moments that just there's still too much twenty twenty
three and twenty twenty four. In the twenty twenty five
berecas Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
And then, like I said, I feel the talent is
better this. It looks like a more talented football team,
but if they can't get out of their own way,
that doesn't really matter how talented you are, because guess what, No,
you're not playing in the American Athletic Conference anymore. Talent
alone is not going to drag you through to the
(04:18):
finish line and in close games. And you know, I
hate to always bring this up, but our old pal
Marv used to say, I see better than I hear,
and what I see is save stuff. Different year so far.
I hope they proved me wrong.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Go eat some chicken noodles, Superor something.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I've got to maybe take am. How's that? So? I'm good.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I appreciate your effort. You didn't sound sick in terms
of the content, so we appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Thanks so much. You enjoy your day at the golf course.
You should do that more.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I got a cigar, I'm outside. This is pretty much
everything I love.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Like a man.
