Speaker 1 (00:01):
Twelve away from four o'clock. This is ESPN fifteen thirty
m Oegger. Thank you for listening. On Thursdays, we talk
you see sports with our guy Chad Brendle, Bearcat Journal
dot com man who hosted this show on Monday and
Tuesday of this week.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
And there's a lot to discuss, hi chat.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
I know, I think I'm hosting the show Thursday and
Friday also.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Of next week, and then I believe the following Monday, right,
yeah and Monday.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yeah? Is that your spring training trip?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
That's the annual spring training track?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yes, yes, yes, yeah, you and Jimmy have a good time.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Counting down the counting down the minutes.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Not gonna lie to you counting down the minutes to
uh my first Arizona beer, no question. Uh is UC
versus Brendan Soresby ever actually gonna make it to a courtroom?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I mean, I have no cluemo. This thing seems so
cut and dry, but it's all built on such a
house of cards that I mean, I guess there's a
way for them to prove through Ohio law that it
wasn't a binding contract. But I mean, if these things
(01:21):
aren't by like, what are we doing well, if you
can't sign a guy to a two year contract and
then hold them to the buyout in that contract, like
this thing, it's not sustained. I mean, it already doesn't
feel sustainable if this wins in court, Like, I don't know, man,
(01:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Do you think do you think that Joe Royer should
sue Brendan Sorosby for never throwing him the football?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Maybe? Yeah, breach of contract right roommates, So maybe there's like,
you know, something in there that they could he could
go after. I mean, I don't know, There's there's got
to be a way that I just don't I don't
understand it. You you did you see get value out
(02:15):
of having Brendan Soresby back for this year from January
to October? Absolutely? Can they sue him back for November?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Here's what I want to know.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
So you see plays Texas Tech on October the twenty fourth,
it's it's Cincinnati's homecoming. They have the reigning Big Twelve
champs in for homecoming. Have we ever had a college
football game where there's been active litigation between one of
the schools in the game and one of the players
on the other team.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
You think might like, would there be a like if
he doesn't pay, would there be like a warrant out
for his arrests? Of fuzz be with those with those
like you know, the guys that that lee and those
guys that they pay for security down on the field,
would they be able to like go arrest Brendan Soresby
and warm ups?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Wouldn't that be a scene that would be fun? Yes,
that would be That would be yeah, that would.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Be seen the Bearcat get arrested right about a closing
teams quarterback.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
So that's That's one of the things I might really
like about this era of college sports that we're in
is we're going to have schools suing players and then
those players having to play against the school the school
that suit them, and it just it it ratchet is
it ratchets things up a little bit And I'm here
for it.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I I don't know, man, Like, you made a lot
of money at you see, Brendan, you made a lot
of money going to Texas Tech. Like to me, you
know what it sounds like, No one these crooked ass
uh agents in college are taking twenty percent off the
(04:01):
top of these contracts.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I mean, is this guy acting the way he is
his agent because it's gonna cost him two hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Right, yeah, uh, fair question. Chad brenda is SCAT journal
dot Com.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Hey, I get it.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I am amused by the fact that you have a
school suing a player who may play against him in October, Like, well,
you won't play against him in October barring injury, and
we'll see if there's still active litigation. But no, man,
I'm your basic premise. I agree with if if you
can't enforce this contract, then legitimately, what are we doing?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
And we ask that somewhat.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Rhetorically, but in an era where you know, the entire
foundation of college sports seems to have never been flimsier
than it is right now, contracts may be the last
thing holding it up. And so if we decide that
they're null and void and can't be enforced, then then
what's the point of any of us.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I mean, here's the question, bro. If Brendan Soaresby played
two games last year and suffers an injury that you know,
God forbid severely limits the rest of his playing career,
could Cincinnati have backed out of that two year contract
and said we're not paying twenty twenty six, because I'm
guessing if that was the case, Freendon Soorsby's lawyers would
(05:20):
be knocking on Cincinnati's door saying, we want our money.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, let's switch gears. Can the Bearcats win the remaining
three regular season basketball games?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Can they sure? I mean, I was busy working the
other night and I got done working and I looked
up and UCF was up seventy five to thirty on BYU.
Seventy five to thirty. Now in the next sixteen minutes,
(06:04):
I think BYU scored something like fifty six points in
the next sixteen minutes, So beating them is not going
to be easy. But I mean, Oklahoma State is struggling
right now. Their best, second best player gets hurt in
the final five seconds of overtime in that West Virginia game.
(06:26):
You should have an advantage there. BYU. You know a
lot of it. I think a lot of BYU. Devans
is gonna get his he's incredible. Can you shut down
Rob Right? If you can shut down Rob Right and
they don't have Richie Saunders Sanders like, you got a
chance against BYU. I mean the toughest one might be
(06:49):
TCU at home they're on the bubble, They're going to
be playing for their tournament life. Jamie Dixon's teams over
the past couple of years have historically been significantly better
at home than they are on the road. That one's
gonna be I mean b YU and tc You're both
(07:09):
going to be really difficult. But I mean that TCU
one boy, and that would be kind of the epitome
of what we've gone through the last five years. Right,
they win these two, now everybody's got them in the
next four out, the first four out. Can they get
this last win and then pop goes the bubble?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Do you subscribe to the belief that they have a
chance if they win the next three and then two
in Kansas City?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
What I subscribe to, what you should subscribe to is
Bearcat Journal dot com. What I don't subscribe to, MO
is that conference tournaments matter at all anymore. Yeah, I
just don't think that's the election committee good.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I was gonna say.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I think if there's been one takeaway about this entire
process that I've had for the last decade, it's exactly
what you just said.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
They don't matter at all. They don't care like especially
the last probably five years, there's been multiple cases of
if this team wins one or two in the conference tournament,
they're playing their way in, and then that team's on
like the next four out like they weren't even close.
So there's a million bits of evidence here showing us.
(08:25):
I mean, maybe it's like, you know, you beat Arizona
and Houston on your way to the Big Twelve title game,
but those odds are not great. So if you're gonna
get it done, you gotta win these next three. Let
the chips fall where they may. I think they probably
(08:47):
have dug themselves a hole that's too deep. I do
think there was if they had won at Texas Tech.
I thought there was a path, yes, because that would
have been another top fifteen type road win that really
would have enhanced your resume. You know, beatn BYU at
home is gonna help. But I don't think anybody's gonna
(09:08):
look at that and go, damn, that's that's a team
that we've got to put in. So I don't think
the tournament, the Big Twelve tournament helps any Maybe you
get right there to the cut line if you go
three and oh to end the regular season. I just
don't think there's enough meat on the bone that's gonna
(09:29):
get them over that hurdle. Right now.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
You and I talked last Thursday.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
The Bearcats were in the middle of a three game
winning streak that had it felt like, changed the conversation
about wes Miller's future. What did saturdays blowout win at
Kansas do for that conversation.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I mean it solidified some of the belief that there's
a chance he can play his way back into consideration
and pfully so, like, you know, you go to Kansas
to beat Kansas by sixteen, fully healthy Kansas Darren Peterson
plays the entire game. You know, nothing fluky happened in
(10:12):
that game that that was just Cincinnati played better than Kansas.
You know, it certainly helps. I still think it's going
to be a really hard sell to the fan base
if they don't make the NCAA tournament. But there are
people that you know, they donate more to U see
(10:34):
than I'll make in a decade. Those people have a
lot of weight, and I think that there's a portion
of that group that really likes wes Miller and wants
to see him succeed in this job. And if they're
ten and eight, you know, if they went out and
they still miss the tournament. But they're ten and eight
in the Big twelve, and you know they they prove
(11:00):
kind of been Big twelve play that they were legitimate.
I think there's a there's you know, there's a decent
chance you see him back for year six.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Good stuff as always, man, I will uh, I'll talk
to you in two weeks.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Thanks so much.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
