The madness of March is reaching its climax as the Sweet 16 is set, but something's missing this year—the Cinderellas. For the first time since the 1980s, no team seeded 11 or lower has crashed the second weekend party, making this a chalk-heavy tournament that's defying expectations.
Our hosts dive deep into what's making this tournament unique, with UConn continuing their dominant run and covering spreads at a remarkable rate. The coaching carousel spins at full speed too, with Sean Miller's controversial exit from Xavier to Texas creating waves—a move that may have been in the works even as Xavier was still dancing. Richard Pitino emerges as the surprising replacement, breaking Xavier's long tradition of promoting from within.
The crew shares personal gambling tales that'll have you laughing, including Bags' epic story about how winning a $300 bet led to purchasing a $200 White Sox pullover after an all-day "Barummer Fest" involving a Fireball keg and stadium club tickets. Joey counters with his whirlwind sports tour, hitting elite golf courses and witnessing Xavier's improbable comeback against Texas in Dayton.
Looking ahead, the team breaks down the most intriguing Sweet 16 matchups, with the Alabama-BYU over/under sitting a whopping 20 points higher than any other game. Baseball fans get their due too, with Opening Day picks and season-long futures advice as the MLB season kicks off.
Whether you're betting on March Madness, MLB Opening Day, or just enjoy sports talk with genuine friendship and laughter, this episode delivers with concrete picks (Bags went 4-0 last week!), thoughtful analysis, and the camaraderie that makes sports betting more than just numbers on a screen.
Subscribe now and join our community of sports betting enthusiasts who understand that at the end of the day, we're all on the same team—even if Bags won't invite you to White Sox games with strangers named Daisy and Diamond.

(01:11):
How are we doing tonight, Joey?
Welcome back home.
Glad to have you.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Thank you very much.
Happy to be here.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Bags opening day this week.
We're attending.
Are you wearing your customBags Youngblood jersey to the
game tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I will not be wearing the custom Bags Youngblood
jersey Recently.
Last year I acquired a newWhite Sox item that I'm very
excited to bring out for thefirst time for a Sox game.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
And what is that?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's an all-star pullover button-up jacket.
Good for the March games.
Good for the March games, forsure.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Can we get a backstory of the purchase of
this item?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah.
So let's see the day I boughtthat was the day of Barummer
Fests.
For anybody listening, thatworks at Reef Lake hello, you
know what Barummer Fest is?
Basically, it was an all-daydrinking and golfing endeavor
that included a fireball keg.
So I was making some prettygood decisions that day, and
(02:20):
well, I ended up falling uponsome stadium club tickets for
the Sox game.
For those of you who are notWhite Sox fans or don't go to a
White Sox game, the stadium clubpass is an all-you-can-eat,
all-you-can-drink and you sitright behind a home plate pass.
So I'm already hammered.
(02:41):
I take an Uber to the White Soxgame, get out of the Uber,
drink some more.
Kenny Phillips, old member ofSharp Action Daily, used to do
picks with Kenny, if youremember him way back in the day
.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
That's so cute.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, kenny came with me, brought a couple of girls
with him.
And, yeah, kenny came with me,brought a couple of girls with
him and I had just an insaneamount of money on the Nerfy.
I think it was a $300 Nerfy bet.
I was on a heater, my unitswere up, so money was no object
(03:24):
to me in the current state thatI was in.
So, $300 on the Nerfy.
Get started with the Blue Jayshaving first and third one out.
Guy makes a diving play on theWhite Sox I couldn't even tell
you what his name is.
Now for a double play, sign meup.
We're looking good.
I go no way.
Way, the white socks put one upon the board here.
(03:45):
And who's our fucking leadoffhitter last year, brad nicky.
Nicky lopez sends a screamerdown the right field line for a
triple strikeout, pop-upstrikeout to end the inning.
No run scored somewhere in themidst of.
After nikki lopez hits histriple, I go to the three people
(04:06):
I'm with.
I will buy you anything in theshop as long as his bet hits.
So the everyone was.
Everyone else was rooting forthe bet I want.
I didn't want to sweat this outalone.
I wanted everyone else to havesome skin in the game.
So then then we go to the Endsup hitting.
We go to the shop, end upbuying probably $450 worth of
(04:30):
merchandise and, yeah, ended upwith a $200 pullover.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
So you Were these like Rick Pitino type of girls,
or?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I don't know If by that you mean underage.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
no, um strippers ah, my fault.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Uh, no, I don't think they were strippers.
I'll be honest, I don't know.
I didn't know him very well atthe time.
I still don't know him verywell now so what'd you buy him?
Um, I think that you just gotlike a hat and a shirt so he
went out.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
He went out on a whim , didn't invite me or trevor.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Too random that's, that's I.
I can find text messages andphone calls of me inviting you
and trevor, so I don't say that,that's that's.
That's a bold face line, butlet's, let's continue.
Let's try and stick to thefacts here.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Okay, bought these women a nice hat and t-shirt.
What can he pick up?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Quarter zip.
I don't know what Kenny got.
I don't even remember if Kennygot anything.
To be honest with you, I thinkKenny, being the good guy that
he was, didn't take advantage ofme in the state I was in.
He's very nice.
He might have got a t-shirt,but I don't think he got
anything, nothing supermemorable, at least.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Have you spoke to those girls since that night?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I have not.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
But I will say Do you know their names?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Not off the top of my head.
I think one of them was Daisy,but I could be wrong on that.
I think that's a dog.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Daisy and Diamond yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I might be wrong.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Joey was sitting with .
Daisy and Destiny in the firstrow of a Sox game.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Take a deep fucking breath, guy.
Don't make me bring up the K-11special Moving forward.
Take a deep fucking breath, guy.
Don't make me bring up the K-11special Moving forward.
It was, by far excluding the2021 playoff games, the best
experience I've ever had at aSox game.
(06:42):
I will forever live to do thatagain.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
That was fantastic.
Who brought you to that game?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
That was JoJo, the tickets guy at Ruth Lake.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
The blackout game.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Oh no, you brought me to the blackout game.
I thought you were talkingabout the one I just got done
talking about.
Oh no, brought me to theblackout game.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I thought you were talking about the one I just got
done.
Talking about, oh no, anyway,chris, any eventful stories in
your life.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
No, I have no floozies.
I'm done with that life.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I don't think it necessarily has to be about
floozies, but yeah, but thenallow me to catch up the
listeners of my adventurous week.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Oh jeez.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Tuesday after a great day in the office, drove from
here to Cincinnati, ohio.
Woke up, worked in the morning,then played 18 holes of golf at
the and Addie, ohio, woke up,worked in the morning, then
played 18 holes of golf at thebest public golf course in the
country Hands down number one byfar Stonelike Hills Golf Club.
(07:55):
Got to hang out with my boys,duff and Divot.
They got some new merch in theshop so I spent way too much
money there.
What'd you say?
Bags?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Dolphin Divot.
Those are the buffalo yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
The bison excuse me.
No, those are the buffalo thatroam, the course.
Yeah, the boys were good A lotof golf balls in their enclosure
.
Someone's got to go in thereand pick them up so they don't
eat them.
But uh, then, after that droveto the I would say second most
(08:33):
electric sporting event of mylifetime, which was the first
four game in dayton, ohio, wheretexas was up by 13 with like 9
minutes to go, and I'mcontemplating leaving the game,
only to have Xavier come backwin the game with their coach,
knowing he was going to coachthe team in the next week yeah,
(08:57):
we gotta get into that didsomebody know that before?
so the deal was made officialThursday.
But let's stay in chronologicalorder.
So then, wednesday night, gameon 9-15 tip ends around midnight
, then drive to Indy, get toIndy around 2.30.
(09:20):
Then wake up the next morningAss is back in the office in
Chicago.
So that was a hell of a day.
Vibes were high on the car ride, shout out Gus for going with
me, and then uh.
Then you know, friday comes, webite the bullet and spend a
bunch of money on a U of IXavier ticket to just watch them
(09:41):
.
They had some fight to them,but I actually thought they
played better in that game thanthe Texas game, even though they
lost.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Well, they didn't show up for very much of the
Texas game.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
No, they did not.
I don't know how they want I I.
I still need to watch that gameback because they were losing
the entire game.
The place goes nuts.
I look up there's a minute and23 seconds left.
First lead of the game.
We did the reverse savior, Iguess.
(10:16):
But the only thing I was madabout is when the Illinois game
was out of hand.
I thought the seniors on theteam should have gotten like a
curtain call.
Illinois game was out of hand.
I thought the seniors on theteam should have gotten a
curtain call when it was out ofhand, take a timeout, especially
Zach.
Zach deserved to be cheered offthe court and give everyone a
(10:38):
hug.
But that fucking snake did notcare.
He even said after the Texasgame, rossi asked are you ready
for Illinois?
He goes, I do not care.
He even said after the Texasgame, rothstein asked are you
ready for Illinois?
He goes, I do not care that washis answer.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Wow, why would you want him to coach your team?
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I don't know about this.
You were calling for SeanMiller's head.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Wait, what did you say, Joe?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
He said even before you found out about this, you
were calling for Sean Miller'shead.
Wait, what did you say, joe?
He said even before you foundout about this, you were calling
for Sean Miller's head.
Yeah, you seem very upset thatthat has happened.
No, no, no, we didn't get fired.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
That's the problem.
He left, he didn't get faxed.
We didn't get the enjoyment ofhim getting canned.
He said F you, I'm too good foryou, I'm going to the
basketball powerhouse known asTexas, yeah right?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Well, look, I think he knew what we all knew was
coming.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
So he dumped her before getting dumped.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Do you think?
Do you think, xavier?
I don't think they were goingto fire him.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I don't know, but leaving Xavier for Texas seems
like a downgrade to me.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, I know Trevor Green is going to have some
input on that, so hopefully helistens and texts in.
But I mean, yes, you're gonnahave more money and resources
there, but from a basketballstandpoint, you're what in the
sec walking into next year 12thbest team 13th best team.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Maybe they were 14th.
Right, they were the last onein.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yeah, so and that's with a top five lottery pick on
your roster.
I feel bad for the Texas coach.
He coached that team for threeyears, made the NCAA tournament.
All three years Went to anElite Eight in the Sweet 16.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Kid.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
But anyway.
So back to the big news.
So I guess the deal was firm onThursday and the funniest part
was when they revealed now thatyou know, looking at everything
in hindsight, there's clips ofwhen they revealed the bracket
of his expression of when thematchup came out.
That was very telling.
(13:11):
He just gave one of those ahshit faces, but he's a snake
Bullshit, snake bullshit.
The thing that hurts the mostis that nobody wanted him, threw
him to the curb and we kind ofgave him a lifeline to pick up
(13:32):
his career and then he justleaves, even though he did jack
shit at Xavier Our best playerswere under from the previous
coach.
He got what?
Two transfers, joe, if you canname the and you achieved good
players away.
(13:52):
Yeah, Joe, if you can name thetop five Xavier kids over the
last five years, none of themare his.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Nunji.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Nunji was a steel recruit the previous coach.
I thought Nunji was a Steelrecruit the previous coach.
I thought.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Nunji was a transfer.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah, but he came in under Steel before Miller got
there.
He played two years beforeMiller got there.
Colby Jones, who's in the NBA,was a Travis Steel recruit.
Fremantle was a Travis Steelrecruit, sule Boom recruit.
Freemantle was a zach.
Uh, travis steel recruit, umsule boom.
(14:30):
Claude was a steel recruit, yes, but he left and he was good on
usc probably should have stayed.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I mean, if you use him right, he definitely helps
you.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Especially defensively.
That's another huge guard bodywhich we lacked.
We lacked size.
The fact that this guy can'tget a center or true center is
mind-boggling.
Zach's a four.
If we had a true center andcould let Zach play the four,
play the four, I mean.
I mean, it is what it is.
(15:09):
Enough about the past.
Fuck that guy.
I'm just happy he gets to playat Connecticut next year.
I hope UConn beats him by 50.
But we'll see.
But Richard Pitino isofficially the Xavier head coach
, which was one of my.
(15:30):
Look at this, joe, I was.
I was pretty close to beingright.
He was one of the guys I wanted.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, from the job.
You wanted him to go somewhereelse, but who Richard Nova?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yeah, yeah, else.
But who richard uh nova?
Yeah, yeah, but I thought whenI gave my list of who to replace
sean miller, I thought he wason it when I wanted him fired.
But we'll have to go to thearchives anyway if we get um
davian dent as well.
Do you?
You know who that is, chris orno?
No, he's the New Mexico guardthat entered the portal and he's
(16:13):
the number one guy on thestreet.
He should be an All-Americanguard next year and if we can
get him and keep Ryan Conwell,that's a pretty good backcourt.
But Ryan Conwell going to threeschools in three years don't
like our chances.
But if he likes new coaches, hecan stay and have a new coach.
(16:36):
But Richard Pitino,back-to-back NCAA tournaments
beat Marquette.
I know people are worried abouthis stints in Minnesota, but I
think Minnesota's a loser's job.
It's like being the head coachof the Jaguars You're swimming
upstream.
I mean so we'll see.
I like it.
It's a change.
(16:57):
It's the first time since ThadMata which is in the 80s, joe
that Xavier has gone outside ofXavier to hire their head coach.
Wow, so, because it went fromThad Mata to Sean Miller, to
Chris Mack, to Travis Steele,back to Sean Miller.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
So we got some.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Some new blood, some young blood in there.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Let's talk about the Iowa Hawkeyes Finally getting
rid of their Nepo basketballprogram and bringing in Drake's
head coach.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh, did you not see the Iowa news today?
No, signed a home-and-homeagainst Xavier for the next two
years, finalized today wow, weshould go to one of those if
they're on a weekend, we shouldgo to both of them.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I don't know about both.
We can go to Cincy though youdon't want to go to.
Iowa City yeah, we could.
I feel like I'm too old to goto Iowa City.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yeah, I feel like I'm too old to go to Iowa City now,
but yeah because that'll be anearly game, so hopefully it's
like the nice warm weekend inNovember, then we can play some
golf.
But yeah, ben McCollum, goodcoach, they got that point guard
to go with.
Forget his name, give me onesecond, pull it up.
(18:26):
There I went Freeman, no, youwent Bennett, sturtz, sturtz, oh
yeah.
But that's enough of thecoaching carousel, let's.
Let's have a debate about Marchmadness.
(18:46):
Joe, I know you're a underdogtype of guy.
How are you feeling that Mr CalPerry is our only cinderella?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
well, it's not surprising.
I mean, it kind of links upwith what we talked about
earlier in this year aboutexperience being important, um,
and guys with a lot of tenure inmarch they're doing well.
Like is all on calipari and Imean, yeah, you had your matchup
, your dream matchup of Calipariversus Pitino, which was fun,
(19:21):
but it was a really down yearfor underdogs.
This was the first time wedidn't have an 11-seater lower
in the final four I'm sorry, inthe Sweet 16.
If I'm correct on that, yep,since like the 80s, yeah, so
(19:46):
yeah, it's a chalk.
It's what everyone always saysnever happens in March.
My bracket is fucking terrible.
Let me tell you.
I had so many things in there.
I had Akron in the Sweet 16.
So tells you how my bracketlooks.
But yeah, it's been a down yearfor the underdogs.
(20:10):
In terms of surprising play,though, uconn's defense against
Florida was pretty good.
I think that was Dan Hurley'sbest coaching job.
Yeah, he's had teams winnational championships, but he
(20:31):
had studs on his team.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
He had studs on his team.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, that was by far his best coaching job.
It was very cool to see.
But even though the first tworounds kind of stunk, I'm very
excited for what we have movingforward.
I think we have great matchupsall across the board and this is
kind of what we want.
We want the big brands, thebest teams playing at the end
(20:58):
Like I don't need to watch StPeter's lose by 30 in the second
weekend.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah, I think it's going to be some really good
games for the rest of thistournament.
I'm excited to see how thisfinal four pans out.
I think Arizona has alegitimate shot at beating Duke.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Chris, do you have all your four?
Speaker 3 (21:22):
I have all your Final Four teams still alive.
Yeah, I don't know thatArizona's very good.
They played lights out afterfive minutes in that Oregon game
, but Caleb Love did not makethat many threes ever again in
his life.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
But he's the Duke killer.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Kind of feed the hot hand theory too.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
But he has a week to cool off now.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yeah, four.
Days.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Yeah, but I think that's going to be the most
interesting game is the caleblove revenge game, though I
think the duke killer is gonnahave success again against the
you know, his former acc foe,chris.
What, uh?
What game are you most lookingforward to this weekend?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
um, that's a good question.
I, I think, florida, maryland.
Uh, I think it'll be a lot ofscoring.
I guess not as much as byualabama, but I don't know I have
florida going all the way, soI'm kind of excited to see how
it pans out.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Ooh yeah.
This is the game that's goingto make or break my bracket.
I have the crab five in thefinal four.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Mmm.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Mmm, what's, mmm, mmm .
I love Bama they don't playBama, so that's alright what do
they play?
They play Florida.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Bama gets BYU even Florida minus 6.5, sure against
the Crab 5.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Is Kellen Willard taking the Nova job?
Even Florida minus six and ahalf Sure Against the Crab Five.
Is Kellen Willard taking theNova job To be seen?
Maybe Huggy Bear, tom Crean,we'll see.
Anyway, anyway, let's stay ontopic.
Stay on topic Current gamesbags.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Mr Youngblood are you going to be youngblood?
Are you gonna be advancing?
Am I gonna be advancing?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
well, do you know what youngblood?
Do you know who youngblood evenis?
Or did you just pull this nameout of the sky?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
no, who was the team, was he?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
he's on.
He's on alabama alabama.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
My bad, sorry, apologiesologies.
Uh, yeah, like I said, I loveBama, minus five and a half this
week.
Uh, you can hit their Moneyline at 220 if you want, just to
be Safe.
But yeah, they look Uh prettygood, pretty tough to beat.
So Until they run into either,really I don't think they're
(24:15):
gonna have to play Anyone untilwe get to the elite eight beat.
Until they run into either, Idon't think they're going to
have to play anyone until we getto the Elite Eight.
Love them right here, minusfive.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
So they don't have to play anybody until the next
game.
Got it.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Correct that under over in that game is 20 points
higher, I think, than any otherunder over the weekend.
Yeah, that's just wild.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
It's at 175.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
It's also crazy how the NCAA allows BYU not to play
on a Sunday.
They just let them play onThursdays and Saturdays.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Anything for real forfeit yeah, I do.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I think it'd be fucking hilarious, uh, douche
let's see.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Oh, and we got the crown coming up.
Can't wait for that to startwhen is that?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
is that?
Is that between the Elite Eightand Final Four?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah, yeah, did you see?
Depaul made it.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Good for them.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
They should have won the Big East tournament.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Should have beat Creighton for sure.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
And Creighton kind of looked good against Auburn.
But anywho, anywho, anywho,anywho, baseball starts today.
We talked about that at the topof the show.
Should we go through and give abaseball future that we like?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Yeah, sox, over 54.5 wins.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Can we parlay that with the Reds to make the
playoffs?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Unfortunately they won't let you parlay MLB futures
.
It's weird, unless you dodivision winners.
That's really it.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Chris, I have no idea .
I haven't even looked.
I'd probably do that.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Season starts in like 14 hours plenty of time?
Speaker 3 (26:19):
yeah, I guess sure.
How long did it take you topick socks?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
over.
Uh, it took a few weeks ofconvincing myself to put money
on it uh anything else?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
or should we roll into the picks?
Oh, no, nfl.
Yeah, go ahead.
No, we should talk about NFL.
We got to be well-rounded here.
Stephon Diggs and the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Doug Kramer getting another year on the contract
with the Bears.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Does he have an incentive per carry?
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yeah, he loses 50% of his contract every time he
carries the ball.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Sounds good.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Why would you pay Stefan Diggs?
What is it?
$30 million a year?
$20 something million a year?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Oh my God, coming off an ACL, why?
Speaker 3 (27:27):
And he's like $30?
I don't get it.
I mean, I guess it's really oneyear guarantee.
It's only 26, I thinkguaranteed, but still that seems
stupid.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
They had the money.
They didn't have anybody thatcould catch the ball, so roll
the dice.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
I guess couldn't sell Cooper Cupp on coming there.
Not that he's in his primeeither, but at least he'd be
more friendly to your youngquarterback.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Braves will get him straightened out, though I'm a
big Braville believer will getthem straightened out, though
I'm a big Rebel believer, chrisdid you update the picks?
Speaker 3 (28:24):
I did not.
I can tell you what they were,though.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Bags was a what's up.
Bags was a what.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Bags was a winner in the South.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
A stunning 4-0, Bags Wow.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Come on, I don't even remember all my picks, bradley
was 3-1, and I was 2-2.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
So all together we went 9-3.
Pretty good tournament.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Bags young blood.
It's here to stay.
Come on.
March is my month, dude.
I'm telling you, I am MarchWell.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Florida U was March.
We don't know about Illinois U.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Yeah, we got to see what happens when we hop on the
FanDuel.
See how nice they are to me.
Just stay on the Hard.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Rock.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
No dude, the hard rock's terrible.
I do not condone anyone usingit.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Wait, was my only loss, Akron.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Yes, what were my four picks, chris?
I know I had McNeese.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
You had Drake Moneyline.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Bang.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
You had Michigan minus three.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Bang, barely bang.
You had michigan minus three.
Bang barely, you had vandy plusfour.
I'm sorry, since wind is notwind is covering by a little bit
mean you didn't win you hadvandy plus four bang, I don't
know, I don't know how that hitI don't know how they blew that
game.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
And then you had McNeese.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
What did you give me?
Money line or points?
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Spread.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Doesn't matter.
I said both.
It should be 5-0.
That was before your rage quit,which was well-deserved, by the
way.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Also, mcneese is not very good.
How joey, they're terrible.
13 points in the first half.
Defense is solid.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
They clinton scored 54.
In the second half they wonstrictly off vibes.
Chris, you don't get it.
This is much you gotta write.
You gotta ride the vibes.
Vibes are hot.
Vibes were hot.
Now am I surprised they lost inthe round of 32?
No, but the vibes were hot.
(30:48):
Going into round one, amir or aKhan not beating that dude
round one, come on.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Do you see?
He's going with the coach.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Yeah, I don't know how that works at all, by the
way.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Vibes, man Vibes.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I don't know, you should know.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Can I come with you?
How does that?
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I think the coach probably asked him hey, can we
get you to come with?
We'll get a bunch of nationalattention.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Can we get a boombox in the locker room at NC State?
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Probably.
Oh, UConn minus four was free.
Also shout out UConn, theycovered again.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
They cover all the time.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
We'll have to remember that for next year.
They are free, they are free.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Fuck Akron.
What was the score of thatAkron game?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
It was a billion.
It was not close.
I'm shocked thatGonzaga-Georgia over hit.
That game was poo poo.
Thursday Georgia didn't show uptill 12 minutes into the game.
It's like me into work everyday.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
12 minutes is generous for that 93 65.
Akron lost by almost 30.
I don't get it.
12 minutes is generous for that93-65.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Akron lost by almost 30.
I don't get it.
I thought they were good.
Maybe Arizona's legit, maybethey'll pull off the upset.
If there's one upset in theSweet 16, who's it going to be?
Let's see your predictions.
My upset's going to be BYU overBama you have to take one
(32:47):
underdog money line Arkansas.
Michigan Fun.
No one's taking Kentucky tobeat Tennessee for a fourth time
.
How does that spread make anysense?
Kentucky beat Tennessee threetimes this year and they're a
four-and-a-half point dog.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Hard to beat a team four times.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Evidently so.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
All right, you know there's only one team left in
the sweet 16, who's startingfive began playing with the team
they're currently at it's notDuke, because they have the one
transfer.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Is it Duke?
Speaker 3 (33:29):
no, it is not Duke let me guess.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Oh, it's probably, it's not Arkansas.
Are there any little guys inthis?
Oh, it's Purdue, has to be.
Nobody leaves it.
It is Purdue.
That's crazy.
I think Duke was four out offive.
They have the one guy from, Ithink, tulane.
Let's get into the picks Bagsis angry, bags is angry.
(33:58):
So, bags, you went 4-0 lastweek.
That moves you to 34-51.

I'm going to take UConn women'sminus 13.5 versus Oklahoma.
They've won round one by 69points, round two by 34 points.
(35:12):
They're cruising and Oklahoma'snot going to slow them down.
Uconn women minus 13 and a half.
Speaker 2 (35:21):

the Nerf in the White Sox Angelsgame.

Don't blame you there .
Speaker 2 (35:41):
No run first inning what?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
I get a little worried.
Not the best pitchers on thebump.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
That's a fun one.
It's a fun one.
It's my least confident pick ofthe week, so I'm going to get
in there.
Fun one, it's a fun one.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
It's my least confident pick of the week.
No worries, I'm going to get inthere for a little later on
Thursday.
Tonight we're going to go withthe Alabama Crimson Tide minus
5.5 against BYU.
Love this number.
Byu is not going to be able tokeep up with the Alabama offense
(36:20):
.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Okay, alright, for my second pick, I'm going to

Purdue.
Purdue's not good.
They got to play.
They got to play high point andmake nice.
Me, joey, chris and the rest ofthe intramural team could make
(37:08):
the sweet 16 with that schedule.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
I don't know about that one.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
It's a little bold.
I know Bags is playingintramural basketball now, but
I'm not sure that we have theheight for that.
I put up a resounding zeropoints.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
So let's get too excited here.

against Ole Miss.
Izzo is March, I am also March,so you know me and Izzo like
this, you know same same, so goSpartans.

seeds in the sweet 16.
6 seeds are 8 and 2 straight up.
Chris Beard has 2 of those winsas a 6 seed.

Party.
Yeah, that sounds good.
I also have a.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
Bama future parlayed, with Ohio State to win the
football and Roy to win theMasters.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
You're a lunatic.
Can someone explain to me whythe women get so many?
This is going to sound bad, butthey don't need that many teams
in the women's basketballchampionship.
The first round had games wonby 69, 61, 60, 55, 52, 44.
(42:05):
And I left a bunch out becausethey were in the 30 to 40 range.
These teams, I mean I hope theyget paid a bunch of money
because they just took awhooping.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
I don't like I don't know.
I wonder what the upsetpercentage in the first round of
a women's March Bandits bracketis.
It's got to be below 3%.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
What was the score of the UConn game?
Speaker 3 (42:31):
UConn won 103-34 against Arkansas State.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
They did not cover the live score 80.5.
Speaker 3 (42:40):
That's insane.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
I found my bet.
I found a bonus bet fortomorrow White Sox-Angels no
home run, plus 460.
A little teaser for you WhiteSox Angels no home run plus 460.
Little teaser for you, littlebonus bet.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
No golf pick this week, Joe.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
No golf pick this week.
I'm on Minwoo Lee in the pool.
It's a Minwoo kind of week.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
I thought about him.
I went with Jake Knapp.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
Good pick as well.
Aaron Rye is another good guyto look at this week.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
Already burned up.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
If you want to win the event.
I think it's plus 3500, not abad value play.
It's been playing well.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
Is Aaron Rodgers getting a job?
Speaker 1 (43:23):
No, what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (43:26):
He's going to the.
Speaker 3 (43:27):
Steelers that's the last one left right.
Vikings I thought they alreadysaid they were out, which is why
wouldn't he go to the Steelers?
Speaker 2 (43:44):
I don't know, I don't know why he hasn't done it
already because doesn't he haveto be officially released from
the Jets in April?
Speaker 3 (43:58):
I don't think it matters anymore.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Well, he's employed by the Jets.
I don't think he can justswitch.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
I thought he was officially released.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
Maybe, if it's designated as a whatever cut, I
don't was officially released.
Oh, maybe if it's designated asa whatever cut, I don't think
it matters yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
Maybe Chris score predictions for me and Joey's
nine-hole golf match tomorrow 39to 37.
Speaker 3 (44:31):
Who's shooting those scores?
Speaker 1 (44:34):
How hard is the course we're playing?
I mean, it's not that hard, butIf we shoot 39 and 37.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
We'd be the two happiest people ever.
Speaker 1 (44:44):
Yeah, dude, in fucking March.
Yeah, sign me up, I'll be ahappy camper.
Speaker 3 (44:49):
I played better when I forgot all the mistakes I used

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Bags opening day this week.
We're attending.
Are you wearing your customBags Youngblood jersey to the
game tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I will not be wearing the custom Bags Youngblood
jersey Recently.
Last year I acquired a newWhite Sox item that I'm very
excited to bring out for thefirst time for a Sox game.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
And what is that?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's an all-star pullover button-up jacket.
Good for the March games.
Good for the March games, forsure.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Can we get a backstory of the purchase of
this item?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah.
So let's see the day I boughtthat was the day of Barummer
Fests.
For anybody listening, thatworks at Reef Lake hello, you
know what Barummer Fest is?
Basically, it was an all-daydrinking and golfing endeavor
that included a fireball keg.
So I was making some prettygood decisions that day, and
(02:20):
well, I ended up falling uponsome stadium club tickets for
the Sox game.
For those of you who are notWhite Sox fans or don't go to a
White Sox game, the stadium clubpass is an all-you-can-eat,
all-you-can-drink and you sitright behind a home plate pass.
So I'm already hammered.
(02:41):
I take an Uber to the White Soxgame, get out of the Uber,
drink some more.
Kenny Phillips, old member ofSharp Action Daily, used to do
picks with Kenny, if youremember him way back in the day
.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
That's so cute.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, kenny came with me, brought a couple of girls
with him.
And, yeah, kenny came with me,brought a couple of girls with
him and I had just an insaneamount of money on the Nerfy.
I think it was a $300 Nerfy bet.
I was on a heater, my unitswere up, so money was no object
(03:24):
to me in the current state thatI was in.
So, $300 on the Nerfy.
Get started with the Blue Jayshaving first and third one out.
Guy makes a diving play on theWhite Sox I couldn't even tell
you what his name is.
Now for a double play, sign meup.
We're looking good.
I go no way.
Way, the white socks put one upon the board here.
(03:45):
And who's our fucking leadoffhitter last year, brad nicky.
Nicky lopez sends a screamerdown the right field line for a
triple strikeout, pop-upstrikeout to end the inning.
No run scored somewhere in themidst of.
After nikki lopez hits histriple, I go to the three people
(04:06):
I'm with.
I will buy you anything in theshop as long as his bet hits.
So the everyone was.
Everyone else was rooting forthe bet I want.
I didn't want to sweat this outalone.
I wanted everyone else to havesome skin in the game.
So then then we go to the Endsup hitting.
We go to the shop, end upbuying probably $450 worth of
(04:30):
merchandise and, yeah, ended upwith a $200 pullover.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
So you Were these like Rick Pitino type of girls,
or?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I don't know If by that you mean underage.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
no, um strippers ah, my fault.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Uh, no, I don't think they were strippers.
I'll be honest, I don't know.
I didn't know him very well atthe time.
I still don't know him verywell now so what'd you buy him?
Um, I think that you just gotlike a hat and a shirt so he
went out.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
He went out on a whim , didn't invite me or trevor.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Too random that's, that's I.
I can find text messages andphone calls of me inviting you
and trevor, so I don't say that,that's that's.
That's a bold face line, butlet's, let's continue.
Let's try and stick to thefacts here.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Okay, bought these women a nice hat and t-shirt.
What can he pick up?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Quarter zip.
I don't know what Kenny got.
I don't even remember if Kennygot anything.
To be honest with you, I thinkKenny, being the good guy that
he was, didn't take advantage ofme in the state I was in.
He's very nice.
He might have got a t-shirt,but I don't think he got
anything, nothing supermemorable, at least.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Have you spoke to those girls since that night?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I have not.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
But I will say Do you know their names?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Not off the top of my head.
I think one of them was Daisy,but I could be wrong on that.
I think that's a dog.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Daisy and Diamond yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I might be wrong.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Joey was sitting with .
Daisy and Destiny in the firstrow of a Sox game.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Take a deep fucking breath, guy.
Don't make me bring up the K-11special Moving forward.
Take a deep fucking breath, guy.
Don't make me bring up the K-11special Moving forward.
It was, by far excluding the2021 playoff games, the best
experience I've ever had at aSox game.
(06:42):
I will forever live to do thatagain.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
That was fantastic.
Who brought you to that game?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
That was JoJo, the tickets guy at Ruth Lake.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
The blackout game.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Oh no, you brought me to the blackout game.
I thought you were talkingabout the one I just got done
talking about.
Oh no, brought me to theblackout game.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I thought you were talking about the one I just got
done.
Talking about, oh no, anyway,chris, any eventful stories in
your life.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
No, I have no floozies.
I'm done with that life.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I don't think it necessarily has to be about
floozies, but yeah, but thenallow me to catch up the
listeners of my adventurous week.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Oh jeez.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Tuesday after a great day in the office, drove from
here to Cincinnati, ohio.
Woke up, worked in the morning,then played 18 holes of golf at
the and Addie, ohio, woke up,worked in the morning, then
played 18 holes of golf at thebest public golf course in the
country Hands down number one byfar Stonelike Hills Golf Club.
(07:55):
Got to hang out with my boys,duff and Divot.
They got some new merch in theshop so I spent way too much
money there.
What'd you say?
Bags?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Dolphin Divot.
Those are the buffalo yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
The bison excuse me.
No, those are the buffalo thatroam, the course.
Yeah, the boys were good A lotof golf balls in their enclosure
.
Someone's got to go in thereand pick them up so they don't
eat them.
But uh, then, after that droveto the I would say second most
(08:33):
electric sporting event of mylifetime, which was the first
four game in dayton, ohio, wheretexas was up by 13 with like 9
minutes to go, and I'mcontemplating leaving the game,
only to have Xavier come backwin the game with their coach,
knowing he was going to coachthe team in the next week yeah,
(08:57):
we gotta get into that didsomebody know that before?
so the deal was made officialThursday.
But let's stay in chronologicalorder.
So then, wednesday night, gameon 9-15 tip ends around midnight
, then drive to Indy, get toIndy around 2.30.
(09:20):
Then wake up the next morningAss is back in the office in
Chicago.
So that was a hell of a day.
Vibes were high on the car ride, shout out Gus for going with
me, and then uh.
Then you know, friday comes, webite the bullet and spend a
bunch of money on a U of IXavier ticket to just watch them
(09:41):
.
They had some fight to them,but I actually thought they
played better in that game thanthe Texas game, even though they
lost.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Well, they didn't show up for very much of the
Texas game.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
No, they did not.
I don't know how they want I I.
I still need to watch that gameback because they were losing
the entire game.
The place goes nuts.
I look up there's a minute and23 seconds left.
First lead of the game.
We did the reverse savior, Iguess.
(10:16):
But the only thing I was madabout is when the Illinois game
was out of hand.
I thought the seniors on theteam should have gotten like a
curtain call.
Illinois game was out of hand.
I thought the seniors on theteam should have gotten a
curtain call when it was out ofhand, take a timeout, especially
Zach.
Zach deserved to be cheered offthe court and give everyone a
(10:38):
hug.
But that fucking snake did notcare.
He even said after the Texasgame, rossi asked are you ready
for Illinois?
He goes, I do not care.
He even said after the Texasgame, rothstein asked are you
ready for Illinois?
He goes, I do not care that washis answer.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Wow, why would you want him to coach your team?
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I don't know about this.
You were calling for SeanMiller's head.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Wait, what did you say, Joe?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
He said even before you found out about this, you
were calling for Sean Miller'shead.
Wait, what did you say, joe?
He said even before you foundout about this, you were calling
for Sean Miller's head.
Yeah, you seem very upset thatthat has happened.
No, no, no, we didn't get fired.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
That's the problem.
He left, he didn't get faxed.
We didn't get the enjoyment ofhim getting canned.
He said F you, I'm too good foryou, I'm going to the
basketball powerhouse known asTexas, yeah right?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Well, look, I think he knew what we all knew was
coming.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
So he dumped her before getting dumped.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Do you think?
Do you think, xavier?
I don't think they were goingto fire him.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I don't know, but leaving Xavier for Texas seems
like a downgrade to me.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, I know Trevor Green is going to have some
input on that, so hopefully helistens and texts in.
But I mean, yes, you're gonnahave more money and resources
there, but from a basketballstandpoint, you're what in the
sec walking into next year 12thbest team 13th best team.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Maybe they were 14th.
Right, they were the last onein.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yeah, so and that's with a top five lottery pick on
your roster.
I feel bad for the Texas coach.
He coached that team for threeyears, made the NCAA tournament.
All three years Went to anElite Eight in the Sweet 16.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Kid.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
But anyway.
So back to the big news.
So I guess the deal was firm onThursday and the funniest part
was when they revealed now thatyou know, looking at everything
in hindsight, there's clips ofwhen they revealed the bracket
of his expression of when thematchup came out.
That was very telling.
(13:11):
He just gave one of those ahshit faces, but he's a snake
Bullshit, snake bullshit.
The thing that hurts the mostis that nobody wanted him, threw
him to the curb and we kind ofgave him a lifeline to pick up
(13:32):
his career and then he justleaves, even though he did jack
shit at Xavier Our best playerswere under from the previous
coach.
He got what?
Two transfers, joe, if you canname the and you achieved good
players away.
(13:52):
Yeah, Joe, if you can name thetop five Xavier kids over the
last five years, none of themare his.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Nunji.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Nunji was a steel recruit the previous coach.
I thought Nunji was a Steelrecruit the previous coach.
I thought.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Nunji was a transfer.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah, but he came in under Steel before Miller got
there.
He played two years beforeMiller got there.
Colby Jones, who's in the NBA,was a Travis Steel recruit.
Fremantle was a Travis Steelrecruit, sule Boom recruit.
Freemantle was a zach.
Uh, travis steel recruit, umsule boom.
(14:30):
Claude was a steel recruit, yes, but he left and he was good on
usc probably should have stayed.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I mean, if you use him right, he definitely helps
you.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Especially defensively.
That's another huge guard bodywhich we lacked.
We lacked size.
The fact that this guy can'tget a center or true center is
mind-boggling.
Zach's a four.
If we had a true center andcould let Zach play the four,
play the four, I mean.
I mean, it is what it is.
(15:09):
Enough about the past.
Fuck that guy.
I'm just happy he gets to playat Connecticut next year.
I hope UConn beats him by 50.
But we'll see.
But Richard Pitino isofficially the Xavier head coach
, which was one of my.
(15:30):
Look at this, joe, I was.
I was pretty close to beingright.
He was one of the guys I wanted.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, from the job.
You wanted him to go somewhereelse, but who Richard Nova?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yeah, yeah, else.
But who richard uh nova?
Yeah, yeah, but I thought whenI gave my list of who to replace
sean miller, I thought he wason it when I wanted him fired.
But we'll have to go to thearchives anyway if we get um
davian dent as well.
Do you?
You know who that is, chris orno?
No, he's the New Mexico guardthat entered the portal and he's
(16:13):
the number one guy on thestreet.
He should be an All-Americanguard next year and if we can
get him and keep Ryan Conwell,that's a pretty good backcourt.
But Ryan Conwell going to threeschools in three years don't
like our chances.
But if he likes new coaches, hecan stay and have a new coach.
(16:36):
But Richard Pitino,back-to-back NCAA tournaments
beat Marquette.
I know people are worried abouthis stints in Minnesota, but I
think Minnesota's a loser's job.
It's like being the head coachof the Jaguars You're swimming
upstream.
I mean so we'll see.
I like it.
It's a change.
(16:57):
It's the first time since ThadMata which is in the 80s, joe
that Xavier has gone outside ofXavier to hire their head coach.
Wow, so, because it went fromThad Mata to Sean Miller, to
Chris Mack, to Travis Steele,back to Sean Miller.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
So we got some.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Some new blood, some young blood in there.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Let's talk about the Iowa Hawkeyes Finally getting
rid of their Nepo basketballprogram and bringing in Drake's
head coach.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh, did you not see the Iowa news today?
No, signed a home-and-homeagainst Xavier for the next two
years, finalized today wow, weshould go to one of those if
they're on a weekend, we shouldgo to both of them.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I don't know about both.
We can go to Cincy though youdon't want to go to.
Iowa City yeah, we could.
I feel like I'm too old to goto Iowa City.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yeah, I feel like I'm too old to go to Iowa City now,
but yeah because that'll be anearly game, so hopefully it's
like the nice warm weekend inNovember, then we can play some
golf.
But yeah, ben McCollum, goodcoach, they got that point guard
to go with.
Forget his name, give me onesecond, pull it up.
(18:26):
There I went Freeman, no, youwent Bennett, sturtz, sturtz, oh
yeah.
But that's enough of thecoaching carousel, let's.
Let's have a debate about Marchmadness.
(18:46):
Joe, I know you're a underdogtype of guy.
How are you feeling that Mr CalPerry is our only cinderella?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
well, it's not surprising.
I mean, it kind of links upwith what we talked about
earlier in this year aboutexperience being important, um,
and guys with a lot of tenure inmarch they're doing well.
Like is all on calipari and Imean, yeah, you had your matchup
, your dream matchup of Calipariversus Pitino, which was fun,
(19:21):
but it was a really down yearfor underdogs.
This was the first time wedidn't have an 11-seater lower
in the final four I'm sorry, inthe Sweet 16.
If I'm correct on that, yep,since like the 80s, yeah, so
(19:46):
yeah, it's a chalk.
It's what everyone always saysnever happens in March.
My bracket is fucking terrible.
Let me tell you.
I had so many things in there.
I had Akron in the Sweet 16.
So tells you how my bracketlooks.
But yeah, it's been a down yearfor the underdogs.
(20:10):
In terms of surprising play,though, uconn's defense against
Florida was pretty good.
I think that was Dan Hurley'sbest coaching job.
Yeah, he's had teams winnational championships, but he
(20:31):
had studs on his team.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
He had studs on his team.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, that was by far his best coaching job.
It was very cool to see.
But even though the first tworounds kind of stunk, I'm very
excited for what we have movingforward.
I think we have great matchupsall across the board and this is
kind of what we want.
We want the big brands, thebest teams playing at the end
(20:58):
Like I don't need to watch StPeter's lose by 30 in the second
weekend.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah, I think it's going to be some really good
games for the rest of thistournament.
I'm excited to see how thisfinal four pans out.
I think Arizona has alegitimate shot at beating Duke.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Chris, do you have all your four?
Speaker 3 (21:22):
I have all your Final Four teams still alive.
Yeah, I don't know thatArizona's very good.
They played lights out afterfive minutes in that Oregon game
, but Caleb Love did not makethat many threes ever again in
his life.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
But he's the Duke killer.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Kind of feed the hot hand theory too.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
But he has a week to cool off now.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yeah, four.
Days.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Yeah, but I think that's going to be the most
interesting game is the caleblove revenge game, though I
think the duke killer is gonnahave success again against the
you know, his former acc foe,chris.
What, uh?
What game are you most lookingforward to this weekend?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
um, that's a good question.
I, I think, florida, maryland.
Uh, I think it'll be a lot ofscoring.
I guess not as much as byualabama, but I don't know I have
florida going all the way, soI'm kind of excited to see how
it pans out.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Ooh yeah.
This is the game that's goingto make or break my bracket.
I have the crab five in thefinal four.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Mmm.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Mmm, what's, mmm, mmm .
I love Bama they don't playBama, so that's alright what do
they play?
They play Florida.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Bama gets BYU even Florida minus 6.5, sure against
the Crab 5.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Is Kellen Willard taking the Nova job?
Even Florida minus six and ahalf Sure Against the Crab Five.
Is Kellen Willard taking theNova job To be seen?
Maybe Huggy Bear, tom Crean,we'll see.
Anyway, anyway, let's stay ontopic.
Stay on topic Current gamesbags.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Mr Youngblood are you going to be youngblood?
Are you gonna be advancing?
Am I gonna be advancing?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
well, do you know what youngblood?
Do you know who youngblood evenis?
Or did you just pull this nameout of the sky?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
no, who was the team, was he?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
he's on.
He's on alabama alabama.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
My bad, sorry, apologiesologies.
Uh, yeah, like I said, I loveBama, minus five and a half this
week.
Uh, you can hit their Moneyline at 220 if you want, just to
be Safe.
But yeah, they look Uh prettygood, pretty tough to beat.
So Until they run into either,really I don't think they're
(24:15):
gonna have to play Anyone untilwe get to the elite eight beat.
Until they run into either, Idon't think they're going to
have to play anyone until we getto the Elite Eight.
Love them right here, minusfive.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
So they don't have to play anybody until the next
game.
Got it.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Correct that under over in that game is 20 points
higher, I think, than any otherunder over the weekend.
Yeah, that's just wild.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
It's at 175.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
It's also crazy how the NCAA allows BYU not to play
on a Sunday.
They just let them play onThursdays and Saturdays.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Anything for real forfeit yeah, I do.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I think it'd be fucking hilarious, uh, douche
let's see.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Oh, and we got the crown coming up.
Can't wait for that to startwhen is that?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
is that?
Is that between the Elite Eightand Final Four?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah, yeah, did you see?
Depaul made it.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Good for them.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
They should have won the Big East tournament.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Should have beat Creighton for sure.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
And Creighton kind of looked good against Auburn.
But anywho, anywho, anywho,anywho, baseball starts today.
We talked about that at the topof the show.
Should we go through and give abaseball future that we like?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Yeah, sox, over 54.5 wins.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Can we parlay that with the Reds to make the
playoffs?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Unfortunately they won't let you parlay MLB futures
.
It's weird, unless you dodivision winners.
That's really it.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Chris, I have no idea .
I haven't even looked.
I'd probably do that.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Season starts in like 14 hours plenty of time?
Speaker 3 (26:19):
yeah, I guess sure.
How long did it take you topick socks?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
over.
Uh, it took a few weeks ofconvincing myself to put money
on it uh anything else?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
or should we roll into the picks?
Oh, no, nfl.
Yeah, go ahead.
No, we should talk about NFL.
We got to be well-rounded here.
Stephon Diggs and the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Doug Kramer getting another year on the contract
with the Bears.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Does he have an incentive per carry?
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yeah, he loses 50% of his contract every time he
carries the ball.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Sounds good.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Why would you pay Stefan Diggs?
What is it?
$30 million a year?
$20 something million a year?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Oh my God, coming off an ACL, why?
Speaker 3 (27:27):
And he's like $30?
I don't get it.
I mean, I guess it's really oneyear guarantee.
It's only 26, I thinkguaranteed, but still that seems
stupid.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
They had the money.
They didn't have anybody thatcould catch the ball, so roll
the dice.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
I guess couldn't sell Cooper Cupp on coming there.
Not that he's in his primeeither, but at least he'd be
more friendly to your youngquarterback.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Braves will get him straightened out, though I'm a
big Braville believer will getthem straightened out, though
I'm a big Rebel believer, chrisdid you update the picks?
Speaker 3 (28:24):
I did not.
I can tell you what they were,though.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Bags was a what's up.
Bags was a what.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Bags was a winner in the South.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
A stunning 4-0, Bags Wow.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Come on, I don't even remember all my picks, bradley
was 3-1, and I was 2-2.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
So all together we went 9-3.
Pretty good tournament.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Bags young blood.
It's here to stay.
Come on.
March is my month, dude.
I'm telling you, I am MarchWell.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Florida U was March.
We don't know about Illinois U.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Yeah, we got to see what happens when we hop on the
FanDuel.
See how nice they are to me.
Just stay on the Hard.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Rock.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
No dude, the hard rock's terrible.
I do not condone anyone usingit.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Wait, was my only loss, Akron.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Yes, what were my four picks, chris?
I know I had McNeese.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
You had Drake Moneyline.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Bang.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
You had Michigan minus three.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Bang, barely bang.
You had michigan minus three.
Bang barely, you had vandy plusfour.
I'm sorry, since wind is notwind is covering by a little bit
mean you didn't win you hadvandy plus four bang, I don't
know, I don't know how that hitI don't know how they blew that
game.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
And then you had McNeese.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
What did you give me?
Money line or points?
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Spread.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Doesn't matter.
I said both.
It should be 5-0.
That was before your rage quit,which was well-deserved, by the
way.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Also, mcneese is not very good.
How joey, they're terrible.
13 points in the first half.
Defense is solid.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
They clinton scored 54.
In the second half they wonstrictly off vibes.
Chris, you don't get it.
This is much you gotta write.
You gotta ride the vibes.
Vibes are hot.
Vibes were hot.
Now am I surprised they lost inthe round of 32?
No, but the vibes were hot.
(30:48):
Going into round one, amir or aKhan not beating that dude
round one, come on.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Do you see?
He's going with the coach.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Yeah, I don't know how that works at all, by the
way.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Vibes, man Vibes.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I don't know, you should know.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Can I come with you?
How does that?
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I think the coach probably asked him hey, can we
get you to come with?
We'll get a bunch of nationalattention.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Can we get a boombox in the locker room at NC State?
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Probably.
Oh, UConn minus four was free.
Also shout out UConn, theycovered again.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
They cover all the time.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
We'll have to remember that for next year.
They are free, they are free.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Fuck Akron.
What was the score of thatAkron game?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
It was a billion.
It was not close.
I'm shocked thatGonzaga-Georgia over hit.
That game was poo poo.
Thursday Georgia didn't show uptill 12 minutes into the game.
It's like me into work everyday.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
12 minutes is generous for that 93 65.
Akron lost by almost 30.
I don't get it.
12 minutes is generous for that93-65.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Akron lost by almost 30.
I don't get it.
I thought they were good.
Maybe Arizona's legit, maybethey'll pull off the upset.
If there's one upset in theSweet 16, who's it going to be?
Let's see your predictions.
My upset's going to be BYU overBama you have to take one
(32:47):
underdog money line Arkansas.
Michigan Fun.
No one's taking Kentucky tobeat Tennessee for a fourth time
.
How does that spread make anysense?
Kentucky beat Tennessee threetimes this year and they're a
four-and-a-half point dog.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Hard to beat a team four times.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Evidently so.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
All right, you know there's only one team left in
the sweet 16, who's startingfive began playing with the team
they're currently at it's notDuke, because they have the one
transfer.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Is it Duke?
Speaker 3 (33:29):
no, it is not Duke let me guess.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Oh, it's probably, it's not Arkansas.
Are there any little guys inthis?
Oh, it's Purdue, has to be.
Nobody leaves it.
It is Purdue.
That's crazy.
I think Duke was four out offive.
They have the one guy from, Ithink, tulane.
Let's get into the picks Bagsis angry, bags is angry.
(33:58):
So, bags, you went 4-0 lastweek.
That moves you to 34-51.
Congratulations, I went 3-1.
That moves me to 46 and 39.
(34:19):
All right, go undefeated thisweek.
10 games above 500.
And Chris moves to 36.
Wait, hold on.
All right, sorry.
Chris moves to 37 and 49.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Hold on, did I do that right, sorry, chris.
Moves to 37 and 49.
All right, who's leading us off?
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Chris, do you want to go first?
Sure, I'll go first.
Go ahead.
All right, I want to start withthe easiest one.
This is a changeup from what Italked about pre-show.
I'm going to take UConn women'sminus 13.5 versus Oklahoma.
They've won round one by 69points, round two by 34 points.
(35:12):
They're cruising and Oklahoma'snot going to slow them down.
Uconn women minus 13 and a half.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Love it, love it.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Did not have that one on my board.
Go UConn.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
For my first pick opening day.
Hopefully you listened to thiswhen it first came out taking
the Nerf in the White Sox Angelsgame.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Don't blame you there .
Speaker 2 (35:41):
No run first inning what?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
I get a little worried.
Not the best pitchers on thebump.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
That's a fun one.
