Sheldon five one three five one three to oph on
seven hundred WLW, the home of the best Bengals coverage.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Head away, we go our second hour tonight from Longnecks
in Wilder, our destination the remainder of this Bengal season
and into their playoff run.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
After they win four straight, the Ravens.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Lose two of four and the Steelers lose three of four,
so we have to tie in there.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
They win all tie breakers. Let's talk Bearcats.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Next up the Liberty Bowl versus Navy in Memphis. Friday,
January the second. Let's do that with the man from
Bearcat Journal Bearcat journal dot com, Chad Brendle.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
How are you.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Then, You guys are live from the dispensary tonight.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yes, yes, working on scenarios of minuscule opportunities. You would
be the perfect person to ask this question because in
the last week, let's see Bearcat assistant GM Curter Wilson
is headed to USF According to reports today, the report
is a staffer is headed to Penn State to be
an assistant GM Jack Griffith. You, as well as anybody,
(01:54):
knows the inner workings and the importance of a front
office structure. Now in college athletics, how significant are these
departures where you see football?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Incredibly significant. I mean Carter Wilson was in charge of
high school scouting recruiting. He's the guy that you know
essentially put together the recruiting board for high school recruits,
and Jack Griffith put together the board for the transfer portal. Wow.
So you've still got the head of the Snake and
(02:23):
Zach Grant at GM, but his two top lieutenants are
now headed elsewhere. So that you know the Carter Wilson
one it hurts, but you just finished your signing class,
so you know you've got time to replace that specific position.
(02:47):
But with Zach Griffith, that's you know, the portal opens
the second and he's been working on that, you know,
diligently since the portal closed last year. And to lose him,
you know, basically on the eve of the transfer portal,
that's a that's a significant hole to fill and Zach
(03:10):
Grant's gonna have to go find somebody that is equally
as adapt at mining the transfer portal. I mean, we
had a story about it that we talked about on
this show about a month ago where you know, eighteen
of the twenty one guys they brought in and the
transfer portal populated the too deep and you know also
(03:35):
Jake Golda, Brendan Soresby and you know guys guys that
were a big part of this team were part of
that transfer portal process from from Jack and that's a
that's a big hole to fill with the transfer portal
about the opens.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
And by the way, Ched, I have the Liberty Ball
on radio, so I'll be calling you in the next
week or so to get all your information anyway, right, No,
so the same question. But now let's talk to the
talk about the players who is in danger of entering
the portal. I guess let's start with with Soresby. Is
(04:15):
he a guy that you think is going to stay
or is he out? Or what do you think?
Speaker 4 (04:21):
And I don't think he's made a decision yet, but
he's going to be a very popular name if he
does enter the transfer portal. I've heard ballpark numbers and
you're talking millions at a new destination if he chooses
to go that route. So uh, with Cincinnati's financials, I
(04:45):
don't know that you know, they they can get all
the way up in that ballpark of what he's going
to be looking at. So it's definitely something that you
have to keep an eye on because you know, if
I had to bet you get one last shot at
this to go make a whole bunch of money, it's
going to be really difficult for Cincinnati to keep him.
(05:07):
And you know, they haven't made any announcements on whether
he's going to be at the Bowl game or not.
But I kind of would be surprised if he played
the way things are, you know where things stand at
the moment.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Well, and that was going to be the follow up
chatter are they proceeding? How are they proceeding in terms
of expectations of from Sorsby to Corleone to Royer to
gold Ay even playing in the bowl game.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Well, Corleone and Goldey were both pretty beat up by
the end of the season. I think that announcement everybody,
you know, why did why did Dante Corleon announce he
was going to the draft when he was out of eligibility.
I had to guess that was, you know, I'm not
(05:52):
going to be in Memphis. Yeah, so I wouldn't expect
to see him. I wouldn't be surprised to see Golday,
although gold as kind of a kind of a machine,
so it wouldn't shock me if he wanted to play.
But we haven't had a practice availability yet, so I
(06:14):
don't know exactly what that's going to look like. But
you know, you just lost Christian Harrison, who was one
of your best defensive back to the transfer portal. I
wouldn't expect to see him play. And ultimately, I mean
you know this as well as I do, Rocky, in
this day and age, the last thing you want to
see as your bowl game opponent is a service Academy.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I was just going to s this is not exactly
an ideal matchup, is it.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
No, because they're not going to have opt outs like
those guys. You know you can leave. I guess you
can leave enter the transfer portal your freshman and sophomore year,
but once you hit your junior year, like you're locked in.
You can't transfer out of the military academies. So they
don't have to worry really about the transfer portal with
(07:07):
their roster. They don't have to worry about whether guys
are going to be locked in for this. So in
terms of kind of worst case scenario of an opponent
in today's day and age, you really don't want to
play a service academy unless you're in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, let me squeeze in one on the on the
basketball with a trip to Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Take on Georgia.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
How I mean, we know what they've done in non conference,
we know what's coming in the Big Twelve. We I mean,
if we're looking resume building and need to put things
on the board, I mean, how important is a Saturday
opportunity against Georgia.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
It's critical. I mean, you can't if you're playing if
this is tournament or bust for West Miller, and you
really need to get over this hump. You've got to
have some wins in this non conference now You've got
you know, if you look at kenpom George's twenty four,
(08:08):
Clemson's twenty five, So you've got two golden opportunities remaining, yep,
to put some wins on the board. But you've got
to stack them. You've eliminated any and all legal room
with the way things had played out over the first
six weeks of the season. So for five weeks of
the season, whatever it is, you better start putting some
(08:30):
wins on the board. And that starts Saturday against a
team that really good on offense, really good on defense.
They're averaging like ninety nine points a game that if
you look at their you know their metrics, they're good
at pretty much everything. So this is going to take
an incredible effort from Wes's team if they're going to
(08:51):
get this win.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
All right, uh, Bowl season Portal, you name it, the basketball.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
There's a lot going on. You guys are all all
over it.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Lay out what the listeners find at bearkadjournal dot com.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
I mean, if you like more information on the two
guys that left. We've got everything up on the board.
Keegan's got a couple articles up that covers both of
those departures for Cincinnati, and we're getting you ready for
Georgia on Saturday, getting you ready for Navy on January second.
And Rocky, there is good news. Have you ever done
(09:26):
the Liberty Ball before?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I have, yes, a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
So you know that there's Rendezvous Barbecue in the press box.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
I'm not sure if I've ever got any of that,
but I've been to Rendezvous Barbecue a bunch of times,
but not in the press box, but I will Thanks
for letting me know that it would be good.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Well, maybe it's changed, but the last time we were
at the Liberty Bowl, the press box meal for the
media was Rendezvous Barbecue.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Very nice, very nice.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
If it's not that anymore, you better pull some strings. Well.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
And now they got the construction going.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
So now because I did a game at Memphis this
year and the press boxes on the opposite side now
or the the T booth, and I assume the radio
booth is on the opposite side of the press box now,
so I don't know, but either way I will find
you and I will find Rendezvous Barbecue and we'll have that.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Are you at Gus's? Fan Rocky got this?
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Guss's is that barbecue.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Chicken I've ever had?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
I'm all right, all right.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Is awesome, but Gus is his otherworldly? All right?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
By the way, if I could, and this will have
nothing to do with sports, but I just thought of it,
and I hate mentioning other places. But of all things,
Dave Miley, the former Reds manager, reads my random thoughts
and and then he texts me his random thoughts, and
he told me that Kelly and I have to get
chicken at Saint Leon Tavern?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Do I recall correctly? Did when I is it camp?
One year? Did you not take me there for chicken?
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Do I?
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Do I remember? Correctly?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Didn't we have lunch there at Saint Leon Tavern?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
I've been doing this so long, I've had it. And
if you like the peppery Indiana fried chicken like that,
I think.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
You don't well, if you don't remember you have been there?
You did you take me there? Didn't take you remember
that you took me there? I think you took me
there and said you gotta try this. Who else would
I have gone?
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Very all right, nobody probably.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Maybe it was cough. No, I think it was you.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
I don't know, all right, I mean I'm not doubting that.
I'm just i've got i've got a bad memory.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yeah, you're just old. And thank you sir. We'll talk
next week. There you go. Brenda Hope, bear Cat Turtle

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
