Speaker 1 (00:06):
The following takes place between six pm and seven pm.
Do you want answers? I think I'm entitled.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
You want answers? The truth? You can't handle the truth?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Truth, the truth. All right, let's get to it. Six
oh eight seven hundred WLW. You welcome into RNL.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Carry or sports Talk forsentaby Kelsey Chevrolet. I'm last for callister,
No time to waste, Let's get to it. My first
guest has lived the Crosstown Shootout as a player and
as a broadcaster, going back to the early nineties and
his final four bear Cats. He teams with Dan Horde
on the call tonight coverage coming up here at seven o'clock.
That means we are talking to nonether than Terry Nelson.
(00:46):
T Now, how are you?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Brother?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
If it's noise hair, it's because I'm in the day
of your media rooms.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
A bunch of people in here understood. Take me back.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
You arrived here in ninety one with Corey and Eric
Martin from California, so I'm sure the the shootout was
not on your radar. When did it really hit you
in terms of just how.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Big this game was?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
When I opened my mouth, when I over my mouth
and said that we should blow him out. They don't
have a chance, you know, across then shoot out of
the Bible gang members going at it where I'm from,
and I didn't think anything of it until the media
storm hit. Like it was a really build up back then,
and I'm like, wait a minute. Practice was harder, guys
(01:29):
were you know, it was a little bit more intense
from Huggins and he was already intense. And then when
you know, we I didn't know wasn't supposed to talk
trash when you're going into an environment like that.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
I never seen the environment like that before, and it
was awesome.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Day Day is the only player on either roster tonight
who has played in and experienced this thing. If you
could talk to this Bearcat group before the tip, what
would you tell him about tonight?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Use behave as energy because it's real. Use the hated energy.
Use what they say as fans towards you. Don't take
it personal. They're doing whatever they can do to try
to get you out of your game in order to
be successful. So a lot of players in their first
(02:14):
time they get shocked by the crowd and how the
crowd can be nasty and I'm like, man, this is
the rivalry. So you're gonna hear stuff that you haven't
heard before. Don't respond to it. The only way to
respond to it. You can make them be quiet by
by you know, running up to score terry.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
In a game where emotions run high, how big a
role or what kind of role should the officials play
in it?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Stand away from it. You know, they keep going to
talk about the fight.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
The fight was a.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
One time thing and there was some guardrails put in place.
You know, you start playing down at the Heritage Bank
Center for a couple of years, and you know, before
you know it, it's you know, you're back on campuses
and now they kind of come out and they can
feel the energy and they want to call founds. They
want to make sure they set the tone. It's like, no,
this is not your game to set a tone. That
the players set the tone. It's gonna be some physicality.
(03:08):
There's gonna be some files that have missed uh, and
hopefully they're missed on purpose.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
On both sides.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Guys need to finish and when they when they finish,
let the you know, rest just stay out the way.
Don't try to put a commanding tone.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
On it, Terry.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
When you're the visitor in a game like this, how big?
How big are the first like five minutes of maybe
surviving that initial rush of energy and emotion.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
That's big because you know they're gonna come out pumped
because they've been hearing about it. Nobody played in this
game other than Dana, as you said, and so they're
gonna feel this. They're gonna feel this energy. And if
they can just withstand that first TV timeout, settle down,
come back and run their stuff. Now, who knows since
that it may come out to a big league. But
(03:53):
if they do come out to a big league I
hope they don't think it's over because whether guys have
played in this or not, from Xavior, they know there's
gonna be a run. It's some about this building. It's
gonna be a run. It's gonna be a push this night.
He can go up twenty and they just gonna make
a push. Bearcats can be down ten and you know
there's gonna be a push from the Bearcat. So just
(04:15):
don't try to, you know, take the moment.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Until the triple zeros in the second half.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Don't think the game is over.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I'm always uh I'm always curious and interested to see
how freshmen specifically handle a game like this. Tell me
about shot Abayev in terms of dealing with tonight in
his makeup, Well, he's a big.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Game player, and well as freshman, you just want consistency,
and he's showing up in big games, and then you
know he wants to show that he is the guy,
and so he's gonna take tough shots and they're gonna
look like bad shots when they miss. When they go in,
you can be like unbelievable. And this guy has got
every package you know, and those teams you love the
(04:58):
shot selection when they go in, and you're scratch in
your head when he misses. So if he can come
out and you know, hit some shots, do what he's
got to do early, it'll be great.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Is there an aspect of this game, a matchup that
fans should keep an eye on tonight that could dictate
how this goes?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
In your mind?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yeah, if the Bearcats are defending the three, I mean
this team is a three point shooting.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
They want to put them up.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Ironically, the Bearcats will put up more threes and they're
making more well, they're making about eleven Bearcats are making
about nine and a half per game, and Javier's putting
up some pretty good numbers as well. So you want
to make sure you watch that how the Bearcats defend
the three because I think the Bearcasts will rule the
paint as far as shot blocking and rebounding around there.
So what you want to watch out is are they
(05:48):
filing on a three point line? Are they defending it
without filing, and are they able to take those misses
and turn them into points?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Last question, great catching up with you, and as much
as we've talked about all the differ for an aspect
to this game, it always seems like there's somebody who
turns into performance that nobody saw coming.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
It's exactly right.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
And I'm hoping this year for the Bearcat, I'm hoping
that somebody like you know, Buck Harris, you know, get
him like five steals and you know, get twelve to
fifteen points in transition and attacking the basket, because he's
a guy that's gonna constantly whether he thinks he can
make it or not. He thinks he can get to
the basket a lot. And if he can make his defense, know,
(06:29):
maybe get us shoot the pass a lay and get
a couple of steals. He sets the tone, so I
wouldn't be surprised if there's a lineup change to start
the game. I can't confirm anything, but if he's in
the lineup and Chris is coming off the bench, Crease
is coming off the bench, you.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
May see him.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
You almost have to keep him on a chain, so
to speak, because he just he wants to go out
there and take every ball, and you have to make
sure you tell him to play nice discipline defense, still
be strong and aggressive, but don't go out there just
like a pit bull. And you put a piece of
steak in front of him. But the chain that's not
long for him to get it. He's gonna be going
after it, after it, so he's gonna be pumped up.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
We were forty five minutes from broadcast, I mean, so
prog deal me that I pad the best to Dan

Like, oh, this is what everybody meant.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
That was Thad in that matchup, Bearcats had a senior
in Steve Logan, junior Leonard Stokes. Jason Maxiel was a freshman.
That team went thirty one and four, lost in the
second round of the tournament to UCLA. That was the
wild one like one oh five, one oh one if
I remember correctly, and Leonard Stokes had like thirty eight
in that game. The Musketeers, Kevin Frye was a senior,
(12:19):
David West a junior, Romain Soado and Lionel Chalmers were sophomores,
and that addition to the Musketeers went twenty six and six.
They lost in the second round to Oklahoma that season
December fourteenth, two thousand and one. Ten straight losses there
(12:41):

last win on visitors home court. All right, still ahead,
Steve Wolf's gonna check in, and then at seven point fifty,

(13:01):
if you want to listen, We're going to play a
little bit of the nineteen ninety five Fantasy Crosstown Shootout.
Marty called it, along with Derek Dickey, it is fabulous.
It was all a computer simulation that they turned into
a broadcast and it aired here on seven hundred WLW.
You're going to hear all of that well in podcast
(13:23):
form a portion of it at six point fifty.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
It's ahead RNL Carrier Sports Talk.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
It is presented by Kelsey Chevrolet, and it's right here
on seven hundred WLW. RS Asian Role and we gotta
go coverage coming up top for the hour. My next
guest the Saint X Guy, the former Musketeer co captain,
longtime college basketball analysts.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
He's called a.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Couple of Musketeer games earlier this season. Part of one
of Cincinnati's greatest sports families.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
He is Steve Wolf. How are you.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
I'm doing great, Lance, just enjoying this eighty five degree weather,
but missing out on the same XT game and the
Xavier U See game and the Xavier Michigan volleyball game.
So hey, it's what happened when you get.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Old, no doubt, no doubt, great hair in your voice.
Take me back in time. Let's go early eighties and
take me into the huddle for a Bob Stack coach
team in a game like this. What were the emotions
for the Crosstown shootout in those Huddles.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Well, you know, when I grew up, it wasn't that
big of a deal. I mean, you know, it wasn't
very well attended. Bob Stack and Ed Badger really took
it to another level. So Stack was one of those
guys that was emotional. He played the part. And I
just remember the first the first game I was involved
with in seventy nine, I think it was seventy nine.
(14:43):
You know, we're up by nine points and there's like,
you know, I don't know, fifty seconds left and Stack
called a time out. We're winning, and he calls a
time out and gets everybody close together and he goes,
you know, whatever it was, you know, fifty nine seconds
left and we own this city. And he said it
really for language, a lot of f bombs and a
(15:03):
lot of other but you know, it became one of
those things because rivalries aren't rivalries unless both teams can win.
And at that point in time, you see it once
seven in a row, and so we finally broke that string.
I think coach Stack was maybe two and two or
in his career against U see. But those are the things.
(15:24):
You have to win a couple of games to make
it a rivalry, and back then, there were a lot
of players from Cincinnati on both of the teams. You know,
Bobby Austin was there, Doug Schlomer was in north of
Kentuckian over there, and you know, and we had Gary
Mass and we had Joe Shown, So we had a
lot of guys on our team from Cincinnati. It's a
little different this year. I mean, I think I know,
(15:46):
in fact, they walked.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
It was going to be Yeah, my follow up was
going to be, there's not a single Musketeer that's actually
played in this game. If you were talking to him
right now in the locker room, what would you tell
them about this game?
Speaker 5 (16:01):
You know, I think you have to look at it
like you're playing an NCAA tournament game. Uh And that's
why the coaches really like to have it earlier in
the season, because it does take a lot of emotion
out of you. But I would say that this game
is going to come down to defense, rebounding points in
the paint, and uh. As Bob Stack would say, watching
(16:24):
the earlier games for Xavier, the first couple of games
and then watching some of the latter games, so you
see it may be a battle of the unarmed opponents.
I'm not sure what's going to happen, you know, because
if Xavier shoots the ball the way they've been shooting,
it could be, you know, a really big win for Xavier.
(16:44):
By the same token. You see, he's got great players,
uh and the only they only have one guy that's
played in this crossdown shootout is from when I think
it's day eight is the only one who's played in it.
But you know, you expect unexpected in these games. You know,
I remember Trayvon Blue had forty points, but you were
the shoemaker and you see won that game. But you know,
(17:05):
who would have thought Trayvon would have had forty points
in a game like that that he did and that
sort of propelled him to get better and better. You know,
I think you have to look, you know, as our coaches,
you just say, do the ordinary thing extraordinarily well, so
you've got to be fundamentalness game, and you have to
take the crowd out of it. You have to take
your emotion out of it. And it's very hard for
eighteen to twenty two or that's when I played, But
(17:27):
now eighteen to twenty six year old guys, you know,
how do you take the emotion out of it. But
I still think it's probably one of the last bashions
of college real college basketball, now that they have NIL
and transfer portal, because everybody on both sides of the
defence here understand how important this is. You know, to
(17:49):
get a win. Now, it doesn't mean anything for the
you know, for your your league, but it does mean
you get bragging rights.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
You had Xavier earlier in the year. They have seemingly
come a long way since the Santa Clara laws.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
What has helped lead that turnaround? In your mind?
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Well, I got to say, and not to be a homer.
I try to do games where I'm not a homer.
But I'm really impressed with Richard Patino. He's always sort
of been in his own self, comfortable in his own shoes.
I've done a lot of his games in the past before.
He never really got upset. And I watched that. I'm like, man,
I'd be really disgusted watching Marathon and Lemoine, but he wasn't.
(18:30):
And he saw certain things and he knew that effort
wasn't there. He needed to get guys to play effort.
He also knew that he didn't have the right point
guard situation. Roddy Anderson is a really good player, but
he's a two guard, and they've done a good job
of having Messina Moore and Alright to handle that point,
and they take care of the ball. The Cina Moore
(18:50):
has him been scoring great, but he's doing a yoma's
job rebounding and facilitating. So I think that and you
have to look at people talk about Santa Clara. They
got a Hall of Fame coach there, an actual MENSIS member.
He's so smart and he's such a good coach. And
you know, they took down Steve Alfred Nevada like the
(19:10):
next week, and then you see those Xavier guys started saying, well,
maybe they weren't that bad, but even a dream team.
They have thirteen new guys and Hall of famers and
Hall of Fame coaches. But you know, the first couple
of games they lost to college all stars. So you
have to take it and put in perspective. I think
that progress and development are way overlooked in these days now,
(19:34):
but I think that's important. And they've gotten better and
better every game.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
It is great here in your voice.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I really appreciate you letting me bug you tonight on
all nights of leading into the showdown. It was great
to catch up with Teneil to start and add you
to booke in with some Xavier conversation. Please extend my
best to your family and then enjoy your weekend.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
All right, absolutely, and go Muskies and go Bombers.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
It's good. Thanks Steve.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Thank what there you go?
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Steve Wolf, mister hoops, former Musketeer, long time broadcaster, did
the Xavier games early on and has done games here
on the back end even after retirement.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
He's in Boca. If you're wondering where it's where is
he that?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
It's eighty five bocha these days, but love the stories
of Bob Stacke. We're fifty nine seconds away from blankety
blank owning this city. When we come back, we will
flash back. It was put together by a computer simulation.
It was then handed over to Marty Brenhaman and Derek Dickey.
They did the rest. It aired here on seven hundred
(20:39):
back in nineteen ninety five. You're gonna hear a portion
of the Fantasy Crosstown Shootout as we continue RNL Carrier
Sports Talk presented by Kelsey Chevrolet seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Closing in on seven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
That's pregame coverage time for you see and Zader in
the Crossdown Shootout. By the way, I'm on Ex Atlantic, Bacalister.
I would be honored if you followed, join in in
the conversation, and we'll react during the game tonight. All right,
This unfolded back in nineteen ninety five. It was called
the Fantasy Crosstown Shootout. It was a computer simulation of
(21:15):
a game between the all time best uc players and
the all time best Xavier.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Players at the time.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
It was called by Marty Brenneman and Derek Dickey, former
Bearcat and an NBA player and TV analyst. We aired
it on seven hundred WLW back in nineteen ninety five.
The fictional site of the game was the Queen City Dome.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
This is a.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Portion of that broadcast. We'll call it the appetizer of
that broadcast. Your nineteen ninety five Fantasy Crosstown Shootout hit
it Well, We're.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Set to play basketball here at the Queen City Dome
at downtown Cincinnati. The Bearcats, the Musketeers, Robertson Twielan Bam
x Cilier in hope for U see Lark and Lee Pelkington,
Tyrone Hill and Bob Whitt for the Xavier Musketeers. We
talked about this brand spanking new facility that opens tonight,
(22:11):
the Queens City doll with sixty six thousand and fifty
people on hand for this fantasy Crosstown shootout. To give
you a little bit about this brand new building at
the corner of Fifth and L A one hundred and
four skyboxes adoring this building. And as far as ticket
prices for tonight's game, twenty seven fifty was the low
(22:31):
end ticket. It goes all the way up to two
hundred dollars for court side seats or you and.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I have talked about this before, Marty.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
We've been waiting to find out exactly what would be
the outcome of a game like this.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
It's something that people have.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
Talked about for years, and I think that once these
players get on the court, all the nervousness, all the
energy is going to be out there. I think guys
are really going to get out and perform and play hard.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
Oscar kicks it outside the hope He's open shooting from
fifteen no good.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Robertson Yepsen signed to Timid D.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
A lot of people don't realize.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
Not only was Austar Robertson Cincinnati's all time leading score
almost thirty four points a game, he's our all time
leading rebounder fifteen rebounds a game.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Bark and passes too quick.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
But the ball taken away by Oscar Robertson. Robertson quickly
up to Van Xel right core court. It goes one
on one with Ralph Lee.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
He shoots over Lee from twenty and got it.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Nick Panex is a tremendous score, but I told you
we're going to keep an eye on who takes better
care of the ball. We have back to back turnovers.
Cincinnati comes up with disadvantage.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
They drop off defensively.
Speaker 6 (23:31):
He puts it up from sixteen and was not even closed,
but tyrone Hill.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Rebounds it, slams it in.
Speaker 7 (23:38):
Tyrone Hill is known for his rebounding and just an
excellent offensive rebounder, but always moving without the ball. You
don't think of him as a scorer, but if you
give him a chance, he's gonna put it in.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Tied up by Ralph Lee at the timeline.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Good defensive play.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
By Lee has he jumped there to get the tie
up with Nick Van Exel and the UC that's not
happy about that decision at all. Bob Huggins has he
erupted off the UC bench, Ed Juckers trying to get.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Him calmed down.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
He felt like Van Exel was mal but no foul call.
Mike Sanzier made the call. It's a tie up and
the arrow and the possession goes to Xavier. While we
were away, Mike Sanzier walked over to the UC bench
and apparently leveled a rather stern warning at admonishment at
Bob Huggins. Huggins has been up and down all night
(24:30):
long and he's not been happy with the officiating, which
is a rule rather than the exception, and apparently issued
a very stern warning the next time. And he's got
a major problem. At the other end of the floor,
Pete Gillan seemed to be enjoying every bit of that conversation.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Oscar, in a hurry.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
Trying to get a breakaway, passes a timeline at Hicks,
takes it away from behind. He slapped it away and
picked it up. Hicks turns quick pass up court to Thomas.
Thomas from eighteen right side no good.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Hicks followed in its lam threw by.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
Brian brand It's a great offensive rebounding by the Musketeers again.
Tyrone Hill and Brian Grant are on the floor along
with Big Bob Pilkington.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
They're going to crash those boards.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
We mentioned some of the dignitaries on hand tonight, Bob Knight,
Pete Rose, Johnny Bench. We noticed the old left hander
Joe Nutsall and apparently, and we were not told of
this before we went on the air tonight, Madonna seated
right next to Joe across the way almost at center court.
Walker down the left sideline brakes and dribble off about
(25:33):
ten feet from the corner, a great feet.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Inside the hill. He slammed it in. Tyrone Hill got
behind the defenses by slammed.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
It down for the Musketeers.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
Power moved no good as he misses again, and the
horn sounds, ending the first half cap to the first
time an outstanding twenty minutes of basketball.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Here is the Queens City Dome.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
And it's in the boats. It's Warren halftime. Xavier forty five.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
Sents a Hey, Marty, I'm going to keep an eye
on these coaches with the bitches both sides. Bob Huggins
and Bob Steck had some words at halftime, and now
there's still shouting words at each other.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
We got to keep an eye on these guys. Bringing
it out of the back court.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
On the dribble, a quick pass to Byron Larkin on
the right side. He elects to pull the trigger. Come
twenty feet and the guy hope. Byron Larkin is doing
a great job. He's letting it be known that he
is not going to be denied a shot if he
wants it. We noticed during the time out Jerry Springer
and Ricky Lake have journeyed into Cincinnati for this Titanic
(26:33):
struggle tonight, and also an interesting foursome on the far side.
We mentioned earlier about Joe Knutxall and Madonna in that
animated first half conversation. They've now been joined by Bob
Trumpy and Jerry Fallwell, boy, would you like to.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Eavesdrop on that conversation.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
He flips it back to herb Jones, who starts to
dribble up the floor, has it taken away by Ralph Lee,
passing off the Thomas pulls up from fourteen shoots the
shot blocked by Jones.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
A great defensive play. By Herb Jones.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
He controls the ball, brings a front court to Dickie
quickly to the bottom left.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Corner jump shot. Got it.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
That's what the Bear kessany.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
They need some defensive intensity if they can force another
turnover too, and got a chance to get back in
this game.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
Passes off the Hicks he's trapping, gets them all the
way to lee over the timeline of the front court.
He starts toward the basket, doesn't have a.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Shot, so kicks it back out to Thomas. One dribble
and launching from fifteen got it.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
Oh boy, Steve Thomas, He's starting to light up now,
get his confidence going. When he does that, he can
shoot the ball from about eighteen to twenty feet away.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Sixty three fifty seven.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
Zavy are not showing any signs at all of knuckling
under and the second shot is up and that's no good.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Twiman sneaks in for the rebound and puts.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
It back up in there.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Jack Twiman got inside the defense and got the follow shot.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
So they get three out of it, and you see
cuts it to eight. Roberts from twenty no Good gets
his own rebound underhands it up and end of his foul.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
By Ralph Lee.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
He hands it right back to Larkin, trying to set
a screen.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Byron passes into the key to Rackley.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
The turnaround till the shot from twelve he gote, Here's
Paul hog to Nicky van Exell.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
You see with its back to the wall. Now quickly
up court, he.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
Feeds off the Lloyd Bats on the left shot A
twenty footer is good. Bat's hit the twenty footer and
it's a three point ball game at seventy nine, seventy
six fim and demand excellent bats. Bats puts it on
the floor, stops looking to pass, has the ball knocked
away by Pelkington. Pelkington picks up the loose ball he
loves to bop quick way down the floor.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Quick goes in for an uncontested.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
Way up No good Tyron Hill grants it off the glass.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Hill Head bets.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
Lunch twice and swims it in as a buzzer sounds
and a final score Savier.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Eighty one, Cincinnati's.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Seventy seven and something of an upset once again. The
final score tonight from the Queen City Dome before a
crowd of over sixty six thousand.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Xavier eighty one.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
U see seventy seven for Derrek Dickey and our cast
of characters, Marty Brenneman saying, so long everybody.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
How about that production nineteen ninety five started with a
computer simulation and then put together and produced and called
by Murty and Derrek Dickey. The entire broadcast again on
the podcast page. It's seven hundred WLW dot com. Look
for my name or go to the iHeartRadio app just
type in my name. I love the line at the
(29:41):
mid court the old left hander.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Is sitting next to Madonna.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Let's see Bob Knight on hand for it, Bob Trumpy,
Jerry Springer, Ricky Lake, Jerry Folwell and others sixty six
thousand plus on hand at fifteen almen. During the broadcast,
they mentioned that the Queen City Dome had been awarded
a Final four and been awarded a Super Bowl in
the future as well. I love that. I wish I
(30:07):
had more time. We need more time to talk shootout tonight.
I just saw this from the Giants have been a go.
San Francisco Giants, their president of baseball operations, Buster Posey,
announced that one time Reds catcher Kirk Casally has joined
the Giants organization as an advisor to baseball operations. If
you go back what two months ago Kurt announced his
(30:27):
retirement in October and joined the Reds in a front
office role. And now two months later, and I don't
know how much of that is related to going back home.
I know he was from Walnut Creek. I'm not sure
if he still makes his off season home out west,
but perhaps just closer to home. But the Giants announcing
Kirk Casally an advisor to baseball operations. All right, I
(30:49):
gotta get out of here. Thanks to Drew Western, how
he for producing Buckle Up.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Up?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Next is UC and Xavier the Crosstown Shootout. This has
been our now Carrier Sports Talk presented by Kelsey Chevrolet
seven hundred WLW
The following takes place between six pm and seven pm.
Do you want answers? I think I'm entitled.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
You want answers? The truth? You can't handle the truth?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Truth, the truth. All right, let's get to it. Six
oh eight seven hundred WLW. You welcome into RNL.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Carry or sports Talk forsentaby Kelsey Chevrolet. I'm last for callister,
No time to waste, Let's get to it. My first
guest has lived the Crosstown Shootout as a player and
as a broadcaster, going back to the early nineties and
his final four bear Cats. He teams with Dan Horde
on the call tonight coverage coming up here at seven o'clock.
That means we are talking to nonether than Terry Nelson.
(00:46):
T Now, how are you?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Brother?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
If it's noise hair, it's because I'm in the day
of your media rooms.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
A bunch of people in here understood. Take me back.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
You arrived here in ninety one with Corey and Eric
Martin from California, so I'm sure the the shootout was
not on your radar. When did it really hit you
in terms of just how.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Big this game was?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
When I opened my mouth, when I over my mouth
and said that we should blow him out. They don't
have a chance, you know, across then shoot out of
the Bible gang members going at it where I'm from,
and I didn't think anything of it until the media
storm hit. Like it was a really build up back then,
and I'm like, wait a minute. Practice was harder, guys
(01:29):
were you know, it was a little bit more intense
from Huggins and he was already intense. And then when
you know, we I didn't know wasn't supposed to talk
trash when you're going into an environment like that.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
I never seen the environment like that before, and it
was awesome.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Day Day is the only player on either roster tonight
who has played in and experienced this thing. If you
could talk to this Bearcat group before the tip, what
would you tell him about tonight?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Use behave as energy because it's real. Use the hated energy.
Use what they say as fans towards you. Don't take
it personal. They're doing whatever they can do to try
to get you out of your game in order to
be successful. So a lot of players in their first
(02:14):
time they get shocked by the crowd and how the
crowd can be nasty and I'm like, man, this is
the rivalry. So you're gonna hear stuff that you haven't
heard before. Don't respond to it. The only way to
respond to it. You can make them be quiet by
by you know, running up to score terry.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
In a game where emotions run high, how big a
role or what kind of role should the officials play
in it?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Stand away from it. You know, they keep going to
talk about the fight.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
The fight was a.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
One time thing and there was some guardrails put in place.
You know, you start playing down at the Heritage Bank
Center for a couple of years, and you know, before
you know it, it's you know, you're back on campuses
and now they kind of come out and they can
feel the energy and they want to call founds. They
want to make sure they set the tone. It's like, no,
this is not your game to set a tone. That
the players set the tone. It's gonna be some physicality.
(03:08):
There's gonna be some files that have missed uh, and
hopefully they're missed on purpose.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
On both sides.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Guys need to finish and when they when they finish,
let the you know, rest just stay out the way.
Don't try to put a commanding tone.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
On it, Terry.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
When you're the visitor in a game like this, how big?
How big are the first like five minutes of maybe
surviving that initial rush of energy and emotion.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
That's big because you know they're gonna come out pumped
because they've been hearing about it. Nobody played in this
game other than Dana, as you said, and so they're
gonna feel this. They're gonna feel this energy. And if
they can just withstand that first TV timeout, settle down,
come back and run their stuff. Now, who knows since
that it may come out to a big league. But
(03:53):
if they do come out to a big league I
hope they don't think it's over because whether guys have
played in this or not, from Xavior, they know there's
gonna be a run. It's some about this building. It's
gonna be a run. It's gonna be a push this night.
He can go up twenty and they just gonna make
a push. Bearcats can be down ten and you know
there's gonna be a push from the Bearcat. So just
(04:15):
don't try to, you know, take the moment.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Until the triple zeros in the second half.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Don't think the game is over.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I'm always uh I'm always curious and interested to see
how freshmen specifically handle a game like this. Tell me
about shot Abayev in terms of dealing with tonight in
his makeup, Well, he's a big.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Game player, and well as freshman, you just want consistency,
and he's showing up in big games, and then you
know he wants to show that he is the guy,
and so he's gonna take tough shots and they're gonna
look like bad shots when they miss. When they go in,
you can be like unbelievable. And this guy has got
every package you know, and those teams you love the
(04:58):
shot selection when they go in, and you're scratch in
your head when he misses. So if he can come
out and you know, hit some shots, do what he's
got to do early, it'll be great.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Is there an aspect of this game, a matchup that
fans should keep an eye on tonight that could dictate
how this goes?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
In your mind?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yeah, if the Bearcats are defending the three, I mean
this team is a three point shooting.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
They want to put them up.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Ironically, the Bearcats will put up more threes and they're
making more well, they're making about eleven Bearcats are making
about nine and a half per game, and Javier's putting
up some pretty good numbers as well. So you want
to make sure you watch that how the Bearcats defend
the three because I think the Bearcasts will rule the
paint as far as shot blocking and rebounding around there.
So what you want to watch out is are they
(05:48):
filing on a three point line? Are they defending it
without filing, and are they able to take those misses
and turn them into points?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Last question, great catching up with you, and as much
as we've talked about all the differ for an aspect
to this game, it always seems like there's somebody who
turns into performance that nobody saw coming.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
It's exactly right.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
And I'm hoping this year for the Bearcat, I'm hoping
that somebody like you know, Buck Harris, you know, get
him like five steals and you know, get twelve to
fifteen points in transition and attacking the basket, because he's
a guy that's gonna constantly whether he thinks he can
make it or not. He thinks he can get to
the basket a lot. And if he can make his defense, know,
(06:29):
maybe get us shoot the pass a lay and get
a couple of steals. He sets the tone, so I
wouldn't be surprised if there's a lineup change to start
the game. I can't confirm anything, but if he's in
the lineup and Chris is coming off the bench, Crease
is coming off the bench, you.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
May see him.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
You almost have to keep him on a chain, so
to speak, because he just he wants to go out
there and take every ball, and you have to make
sure you tell him to play nice discipline defense, still
be strong and aggressive, but don't go out there just
like a pit bull. And you put a piece of
steak in front of him. But the chain that's not
long for him to get it. He's gonna be going
after it, after it, so he's gonna be pumped up.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
We were forty five minutes from broadcast, I mean, so
prog deal me that I pad the best to Dan
and moat broadcasting.

longtime college basketball analysts.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
He's called a.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Couple of Musketeer games earlier this season. Part of one
of Cincinnati's greatest sports families.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
He is Steve Wolf. How are you.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
I'm doing great, Lance, just enjoying this eighty five degree weather,
but missing out on the same XT game and the
Xavier U See game and the Xavier Michigan volleyball game.
So hey, it's what happened when you get.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Old, no doubt, no doubt, great hair in your voice.
Take me back in time. Let's go early eighties and
take me into the huddle for a Bob Stack coach
team in a game like this. What were the emotions
for the Crosstown shootout in those Huddles.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Well, you know, when I grew up, it wasn't that
big of a deal. I mean, you know, it wasn't
very well attended. Bob Stack and Ed Badger really took
it to another level. So Stack was one of those
guys that was emotional. He played the part. And I
just remember the first the first game I was involved
with in seventy nine, I think it was seventy nine.
(14:43):
You know, we're up by nine points and there's like,
you know, I don't know, fifty seconds left and Stack
called a time out. We're winning, and he calls a
time out and gets everybody close together and he goes,
you know, whatever it was, you know, fifty nine seconds
left and we own this city. And he said it
really for language, a lot of f bombs and a
(15:03):
lot of other but you know, it became one of
those things because rivalries aren't rivalries unless both teams can win.
And at that point in time, you see it once
seven in a row, and so we finally broke that string.
I think coach Stack was maybe two and two or
in his career against U see. But those are the things.
(15:24):
You have to win a couple of games to make
it a rivalry, and back then, there were a lot
of players from Cincinnati on both of the teams. You know,
Bobby Austin was there, Doug Schlomer was in north of
Kentuckian over there, and you know, and we had Gary
Mass and we had Joe Shown, So we had a
lot of guys on our team from Cincinnati. It's a
little different this year. I mean, I think I know,
(15:46):
in fact, they walked.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
It was going to be Yeah, my follow up was
going to be, there's not a single Musketeer that's actually
played in this game. If you were talking to him
right now in the locker room, what would you tell
them about this game?
Speaker 5 (16:01):
You know, I think you have to look at it
like you're playing an NCAA tournament game. Uh And that's
why the coaches really like to have it earlier in
the season, because it does take a lot of emotion
out of you. But I would say that this game
is going to come down to defense, rebounding points in
the paint, and uh. As Bob Stack would say, watching
(16:24):
the earlier games for Xavier, the first couple of games
and then watching some of the latter games, so you
see it may be a battle of the unarmed opponents.
I'm not sure what's going to happen, you know, because
if Xavier shoots the ball the way they've been shooting,
it could be, you know, a really big win for Xavier.
(16:44):
By the same token. You see, he's got great players,
uh and the only they only have one guy that's
played in this crossdown shootout is from when I think
it's day eight is the only one who's played in it.
But you know, you expect unexpected in these games. You know,
I remember Trayvon Blue had forty points, but you were
the shoemaker and you see won that game. But you know,
(17:05):
who would have thought Trayvon would have had forty points
in a game like that that he did and that
sort of propelled him to get better and better. You know,
I think you have to look, you know, as our coaches,
you just say, do the ordinary thing extraordinarily well, so
you've got to be fundamentalness game, and you have to
take the crowd out of it. You have to take
your emotion out of it. And it's very hard for
eighteen to twenty two or that's when I played, But
(17:27):
now eighteen to twenty six year old guys, you know,
how do you take the emotion out of it. But
I still think it's probably one of the last bashions
of college real college basketball, now that they have NIL
and transfer portal, because everybody on both sides of the
defence here understand how important this is. You know, to
(17:49):
get a win. Now, it doesn't mean anything for the
you know, for your your league, but it does mean
you get bragging rights.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
You had Xavier earlier in the year. They have seemingly
come a long way since the Santa Clara laws.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
What has helped lead that turnaround? In your mind?
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Well, I got to say, and not to be a homer.
I try to do games where I'm not a homer.
But I'm really impressed with Richard Patino. He's always sort
of been in his own self, comfortable in his own shoes.
I've done a lot of his games in the past before.
He never really got upset. And I watched that. I'm like, man,
I'd be really disgusted watching Marathon and Lemoine, but he wasn't.
(18:30):
And he saw certain things and he knew that effort
wasn't there. He needed to get guys to play effort.
He also knew that he didn't have the right point
guard situation. Roddy Anderson is a really good player, but
he's a two guard, and they've done a good job
of having Messina Moore and Alright to handle that point,
and they take care of the ball. The Cina Moore
(18:50):
has him been scoring great, but he's doing a yoma's
job rebounding and facilitating. So I think that and you
have to look at people talk about Santa Clara. They
got a Hall of Fame coach there, an actual MENSIS member.
He's so smart and he's such a good coach. And
you know, they took down Steve Alfred Nevada like the
(19:10):
next week, and then you see those Xavier guys started saying, well,
maybe they weren't that bad, but even a dream team.
They have thirteen new guys and Hall of famers and
Hall of Fame coaches. But you know, the first couple
of games they lost to college all stars. So you
have to take it and put in perspective. I think
that progress and development are way overlooked in these days now,
(19:34):
but I think that's important. And they've gotten better and
better every game.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
It is great here in your voice.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I really appreciate you letting me bug you tonight on
all nights of leading into the showdown. It was great
to catch up with Teneil to start and add you
to booke in with some Xavier conversation. Please extend my
best to your family and then enjoy your weekend.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
All right, absolutely, and go Muskies and go Bombers.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
It's good. Thanks Steve.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Thank what there you go?
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Steve Wolf, mister hoops, former Musketeer, long time broadcaster, did
the Xavier games early on and has done games here
on the back end even after retirement.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
He's in Boca. If you're wondering where it's where is
he that?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
It's eighty five bocha these days, but love the stories
of Bob Stacke. We're fifty nine seconds away from blankety
blank owning this city. When we come back, we will
flash back. It was put together by a computer simulation.
It was then handed over to Marty Brenhaman and Derek Dickey.
They did the rest. It aired here on seven hundred
(20:39):
back in nineteen ninety five. You're gonna hear a portion
of the Fantasy Crosstown Shootout as we continue RNL Carrier
Sports Talk presented by Kelsey Chevrolet seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Closing in on seven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
That's pregame coverage time for you see and Zader in
the Crossdown Shootout. By the way, I'm on Ex Atlantic, Bacalister.
I would be honored if you followed, join in in
the conversation, and we'll react during the game tonight. All right,
This unfolded back in nineteen ninety five. It was called
the Fantasy Crosstown Shootout. It was a computer simulation of
(21:15):
a game between the all time best uc players and
the all time best Xavier.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Players at the time.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
It was called by Marty Brenneman and Derek Dickey, former
Bearcat and an NBA player and TV analyst. We aired
it on seven hundred WLW back in nineteen ninety five.
The fictional site of the game was the Queen City Dome.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
This is a.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Portion of that broadcast. We'll call it the appetizer of
that broadcast. Your nineteen ninety five Fantasy Crosstown Shootout hit
it Well, We're.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Set to play basketball here at the Queen City Dome
at downtown Cincinnati. The Bearcats, the Musketeers, Robertson Twielan Bam
x Cilier in hope for U see Lark and Lee Pelkington,
Tyrone Hill and Bob Whitt for the Xavier Musketeers. We
talked about this brand spanking new facility that opens tonight,
(22:11):
the Queens City doll with sixty six thousand and fifty
people on hand for this fantasy Crosstown shootout. To give
you a little bit about this brand new building at
the corner of Fifth and L A one hundred and
four skyboxes adoring this building. And as far as ticket
prices for tonight's game, twenty seven fifty was the low
(22:31):
end ticket. It goes all the way up to two
hundred dollars for court side seats or you and.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I have talked about this before, Marty.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
We've been waiting to find out exactly what would be
the outcome of a game like this.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
It's something that people have.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
Talked about for years, and I think that once these
players get on the court, all the nervousness, all the
energy is going to be out there. I think guys
are really going to get out and perform and play hard.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
Oscar kicks it outside the hope He's open shooting from
fifteen no good.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Robertson Yepsen signed to Timid D.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
A lot of people don't realize.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
Not only was Austar Robertson Cincinnati's all time leading score
almost thirty four points a game, he's our all time
leading rebounder fifteen rebounds a game.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Bark and passes too quick.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
But the ball taken away by Oscar Robertson. Robertson quickly
up to Van Xel right core court. It goes one
on one with Ralph Lee.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
He shoots over Lee from twenty and got it.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Nick Panex is a tremendous score, but I told you
we're going to keep an eye on who takes better
care of the ball. We have back to back turnovers.
Cincinnati comes up with disadvantage.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
They drop off defensively.
Speaker 6 (23:31):
He puts it up from sixteen and was not even closed,
but tyrone Hill.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Rebounds it, slams it in.
Speaker 7 (23:38):
Tyrone Hill is known for his rebounding and just an
excellent offensive rebounder, but always moving without the ball. You
don't think of him as a scorer, but if you
give him a chance, he's gonna put it in.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Tied up by Ralph Lee at the timeline.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Good defensive play.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
By Lee has he jumped there to get the tie
up with Nick Van Exel and the UC that's not
happy about that decision at all. Bob Huggins has he
erupted off the UC bench, Ed Juckers trying to get.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Him calmed down.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
He felt like Van Exel was mal but no foul call.
Mike Sanzier made the call. It's a tie up and
the arrow and the possession goes to Xavier. While we
were away, Mike Sanzier walked over to the UC bench
and apparently leveled a rather stern warning at admonishment at
Bob Huggins. Huggins has been up and down all night
(24:30):
long and he's not been happy with the officiating, which
is a rule rather than the exception, and apparently issued
a very stern warning the next time. And he's got
a major problem. At the other end of the floor,
Pete Gillan seemed to be enjoying every bit of that conversation.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Oscar, in a hurry.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
Trying to get a breakaway, passes a timeline at Hicks,
takes it away from behind. He slapped it away and
picked it up. Hicks turns quick pass up court to Thomas.
Thomas from eighteen right side no good.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Hicks followed in its lam threw by.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
Brian brand It's a great offensive rebounding by the Musketeers again.
Tyrone Hill and Brian Grant are on the floor along
with Big Bob Pilkington.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
They're going to crash those boards.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
We mentioned some of the dignitaries on hand tonight, Bob Knight,
Pete Rose, Johnny Bench. We noticed the old left hander
Joe Nutsall and apparently, and we were not told of
this before we went on the air tonight, Madonna seated
right next to Joe across the way almost at center court.
Walker down the left sideline brakes and dribble off about
(25:33):
ten feet from the corner, a great feet.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Inside the hill. He slammed it in. Tyrone Hill got
behind the defenses by slammed.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
It down for the Musketeers.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
Power moved no good as he misses again, and the
horn sounds, ending the first half cap to the first
time an outstanding twenty minutes of basketball.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Here is the Queens City Dome.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
And it's in the boats. It's Warren halftime. Xavier forty five.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
Sents a Hey, Marty, I'm going to keep an eye
on these coaches with the bitches both sides. Bob Huggins
and Bob Steck had some words at halftime, and now
there's still shouting words at each other.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
We got to keep an eye on these guys. Bringing
it out of the back court.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
On the dribble, a quick pass to Byron Larkin on
the right side. He elects to pull the trigger. Come
twenty feet and the guy hope. Byron Larkin is doing
a great job. He's letting it be known that he
is not going to be denied a shot if he
wants it. We noticed during the time out Jerry Springer
and Ricky Lake have journeyed into Cincinnati for this Titanic
(26:33):
struggle tonight, and also an interesting foursome on the far side.
We mentioned earlier about Joe Knutxall and Madonna in that
animated first half conversation. They've now been joined by Bob
Trumpy and Jerry Fallwell, boy, would you like to.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Eavesdrop on that conversation.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
He flips it back to herb Jones, who starts to
dribble up the floor, has it taken away by Ralph Lee,
passing off the Thomas pulls up from fourteen shoots the
shot blocked by Jones.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
A great defensive play. By Herb Jones.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
He controls the ball, brings a front court to Dickie
quickly to the bottom left.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Corner jump shot. Got it.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
That's what the Bear kessany.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
They need some defensive intensity if they can force another
turnover too, and got a chance to get back in
this game.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
Passes off the Hicks he's trapping, gets them all the
way to lee over the timeline of the front court.
He starts toward the basket, doesn't have a.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Shot, so kicks it back out to Thomas. One dribble
and launching from fifteen got it.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
Oh boy, Steve Thomas, He's starting to light up now,
get his confidence going. When he does that, he can
shoot the ball from about eighteen to twenty feet away.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Sixty three fifty seven.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
Zavy are not showing any signs at all of knuckling
under and the second shot is up and that's no good.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Twiman sneaks in for the rebound and puts.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
It back up in there.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Jack Twiman got inside the defense and got the follow shot.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
So they get three out of it, and you see
cuts it to eight. Roberts from twenty no Good gets
his own rebound underhands it up and end of his foul.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
By Ralph Lee.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
He hands it right back to Larkin, trying to set
a screen.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Byron passes into the key to Rackley.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
The turnaround till the shot from twelve he gote, Here's
Paul hog to Nicky van Exell.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
You see with its back to the wall. Now quickly
up court, he.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
Feeds off the Lloyd Bats on the left shot A
twenty footer is good. Bat's hit the twenty footer and
it's a three point ball game at seventy nine, seventy
six fim and demand excellent bats. Bats puts it on
the floor, stops looking to pass, has the ball knocked
away by Pelkington. Pelkington picks up the loose ball he
loves to bop quick way down the floor.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Quick goes in for an uncontested.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
Way up No good Tyron Hill grants it off the glass.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Hill Head bets.

Jerry Springer, Ricky Lake, Jerry Folwell and others sixty six
thousand plus on hand at fifteen almen. During the broadcast,
they mentioned that the Queen City Dome had been awarded
a Final four and been awarded a Super Bowl in
the future as well. I love that. I wish I
(30:07):
had more time. We need more time to talk shootout tonight.
I just saw this from the Giants have been a go.
San Francisco Giants, their president of baseball operations, Buster Posey,
announced that one time Reds catcher Kirk Casally has joined
the Giants organization as an advisor to baseball operations. If
you go back what two months ago Kurt announced his
(30:27):
retirement in October and joined the Reds in a front
office role. And now two months later, and I don't
know how much of that is related to going back home.
I know he was from Walnut Creek. I'm not sure
if he still makes his off season home out west,
but perhaps just closer to home. But the Giants announcing
Kirk Casally an advisor to baseball operations. All right, I
(30:49):
gotta get out of here. Thanks to Drew Western, how
he for producing Buckle Up.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
