[SPEAKER_00]: Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-d
[SPEAKER_00]: You have the sound effects, kid.
[UNKNOWN]: I'm Joey.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have, show my hand.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Sean, did you ever in your wildest dreams?
[SPEAKER_00]: Think when we started sports or dumb?
[SPEAKER_00]: Approximately four years ago that we would make it to 200 episodes.
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess I make sense, you know, there's 52 weeks in a year.
[SPEAKER_01]: We take off like a week for Christmas or a specific holiday.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I did not think we would be this consistent.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're the one of the most consistent weekly podcasts out there.
[SPEAKER_00]: So what are you the most consistent they'd be wrong, but I do like the support out there and appreciate it and it's been an excellent 200 episodes and Sean the other podcast I used to have good people cool things I sunset it I I said this is enough this is it at 200 episodes so we are going to surpass that we will have we will have we will have an episode to a one yes in the future
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, okay, and it will be well, so that's what was called when you quit it's constant.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like man.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean it's at work.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean You've got such that work If that's what that's the terminology we're using Let me become a domestic engineering sense
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know that was a term until I watched Supermarket sweet old episodes and it kept saying oh, I'm a domestic engineer And ask my dad what does that mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: What was the answer it's just someone the stay at home person?
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, just like they're not doing a junior work at home.
[SPEAKER_01]: They just said domestic engineers like as it's stay at home Father or mother
[SPEAKER_01]: Or neither, yeah, it's funny how that works.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's funny how we had the terminology we had to use back in the 80s to make it still sound.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like there was these ladies, and like you could tell they weren't related that they weren't, you know, they were partners, but they would kept, okay, all of that's my roommate.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: I understand.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it's all good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the cloaked things in different words back in a day, but now in a more freeer time, uh, we're sunsetting those, uh, those words, I should say if I can, and find this to throw in the show notes, but I, I feel like I saw something.
[SPEAKER_00]: similar where it was two guys who were clearly in a relationship, but they were saying they were either I think they were business partners and someone was like oh these guys aren't business partners at all and then they responded to I don't know if it was on Twitter or blue sky or something but they said still business partners they end together as life partners for like 40 years which is
[SPEAKER_00]: doing their best.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how they did on the show.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, but where does Supermarket sweep rank among your your shows you'd want to be on?
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, like how do you think you do?
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I think I suck, but I still want to be on it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: You supposed to go good.
[SPEAKER_01]: The big turkey first and like, but then that takes up all the cart space and so.
[SPEAKER_01]: I forget the strategy, like there's the strategy.
[SPEAKER_01]: They all do the same thing and Matt tried to fill up the card.
[SPEAKER_01]: As far as like chose, I'd want to be on, you got, you got to do the kid chose, like, I mean, I wouldn't want to be on Nickelodeon goods now, because I would get negative points.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was watching the NFL so at the other day, and I've like,
[SPEAKER_01]: that looks hard.
[SPEAKER_01]: But as a child, I would have dominated, I believe.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that, that just had a hidden temple.
[SPEAKER_01]: Also, think I would have been, the older I get, the more I think I would been terrible at the final, the temple run at the end, just because.
[SPEAKER_01]: climbing through those holes.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like being nervous.
[SPEAKER_01]: Imagine being a child trying to put together the shrine in the silver monkey and everybody yelling at you.
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't have a camera.
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't have an everybody thinking you're stupid because you got the wrong part.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be terrified.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be one of the kids putting the head on the bottom in the torso on top.
[SPEAKER_01]: But those two shows are still what I would want to be on.
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think both of those would be excellent choices.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm of course
[SPEAKER_00]: as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the, um, the college basketball subreddit every year.
[SPEAKER_00]: Apparently posts, I prices right game threads before Thursday and Friday because that's the lead into the tournament.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so people are watching and I think they're both reruns, but, um, the, I believe the Thursday show everyone won their game.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it was a perfect, perfect game of prices right and then people were like, oh, is that gonna mean a perfect bracket this year?
[SPEAKER_00]: And no all perfect brackets, or all brackets are already busted.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's nothing perfect left.
[SPEAKER_01]: Man, but I mean, we could have had the perfect, it's perfect busted bracket, if it's the
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe played, had one sub, maybe it just had one sub to give the guys a breather as they had a 13 point lead, like a group in the middle of the second half and just they ran out of gas.
[SPEAKER_01]: They didn't have anybody else that could give somebody just a quick blow, but no, they just ran out of steam and then America was let down.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was really devastating.
[SPEAKER_00]: It would have, I guess, not completely destroyed my bracket personally, but I would still love to see it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd still love to see it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And once again, Sean, the agonizing that you do sometimes over March minutes, which I would say, I spend, I would guess about 15 minutes filling out a bracket.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I typically fill it out immediately and then I think about it again,
[SPEAKER_00]: And but I don't like look at anything really outside of like I've done that going into this is I have an idea like who do I want to win who do I think it's going to and Like I might read other stuff and I'm like whatever it's fine and this one one time per year I feel like I make a change that ends up back firing on me and this year that change was I had Florida losing in the sweet 16
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm losing to Vanderbilt, which of course would not have not have held because Vanderbilt lost in a among the most heartbreaking ways you could lose, I think, with a 60-foot shot going in and out.
[SPEAKER_00]: To beat Nebraska on the road, essentially, like Nebraska was playing a home game, even though it was at a neutral stadium.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the anger that I have is I had Houston in the final four and then I I thought to myself I said you know what I've also on the other side I've got I was state I've got Arizona
[SPEAKER_00]: how often do three teams from the same conference make it into the final four and I said, you know what, even though my heart of hearts, Houston's playing at home, they're playing in Houston for the sweet 16 and a lead A and even though I said my heart or even picking Illinois, picking a non Florida team basically, I was like, no, you know what, like, I don't like Florida, I'm sure they're going to win.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I went, I went, put them in the
[SPEAKER_01]: to the corn hawk eyes.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I remember back to the venue, I remember texting like, you see that Gordon Hayward has.
[SPEAKER_01]: I made myself laugh when I typed that out.
[SPEAKER_00]: But then yes, even closer than Gordon Hayward, you made me laugh as well when you laugh.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you can freeze, like freeze frame doesn't show that trajectory at the ball, but if you freeze frame it,
[SPEAKER_01]: It's in the, it's in the hoop, yes, yeah, there's a fully picture where it is, we can, we can draw that in the show, that's where it's, it's in the hoop, it's a bit, it just bounces out because friction and force and this, you know, that's in fall and it just, oh man, that's, yes heartbreaking, I was also heartbreaking.
[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't heartbroken for Florida, you know, they won that year.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how I, I, I cackled with the glee, yeah, uh, uh, they, uh, they didn't, they, that was a tough play they tried to run at the end to get a finder.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a tough play to try to,
[SPEAKER_01]: Joe below the way down and didn't get a wrap around paths not either to three point man who was covered or the guy underneath, who was also covered, so it's just like, well, we lose.
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you enjoy the poetic justice of, I mean, not poetic justice, but like, Kansas one.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, just well that as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we'll get to that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But just the symmetry of Florida won the national title last year when Houston did not get shot off and Florida lost by not getting a shot of also Florida and Ohio State having
[SPEAKER_00]: about the same amount of time, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: It was about like four and a half seconds for each of them and getting no shot off in Florida's case and getting just a terrible like I don't know if you saw Ohio State TCU started the tournament play the first game.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah TCU was winning much of the way Ohio State came back because wound up big and exciting finish TCU scored but I think it was 4.1 seconds and then Ohio State called a timeout and then the imbalance was just
[SPEAKER_00]: like a short imbalance to Bruce Thornton who to be fair is the leading score in Ohio State history.
[SPEAKER_00]: Stayed there all four years.
[SPEAKER_00]: You'd love to see it.
[SPEAKER_00]: But then he just like a real casual.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he was he was going out for a nice little stroll like an afternoon stroll and then just hoisted up a half-court shot that would
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, okay, yeah, not Jack's my roommate like, hey man, you got to get down the court.
[SPEAKER_01]: He was just walk he wasn't walking But he was just like a little little bounce as he's going like yeah I was like no no Lack of days emergency at all and then you see the next day can tuck you with half the time
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and then get past half courties to be fair Kentucky was aided by three of the five Santa Clara players celebrating after after they made I go ahead basket.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, man.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was so I thought so bad for Santa Clara because I'm rooting for the fighting sea mashes, but they um they had it and then they just they let it slip away.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they go and over time and it's just more slipped away.
[SPEAKER_01]: More slipped away.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because the next round, Kentucky didn't show up.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I know it would have been I think Santa Clara also would have been destroyed by Iowa state I think both and I would have lost, but I think maybe a little a little more fight.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know I mean Santa Clara dug its own grave by continually trying to shoot over Having their small point stretch out a shoot over a seven foot or multiple times from three and just getting blocked
[SPEAKER_01]: twice matches is bad now that's been some this been to people are complaining about not as many upset but there's been some fantastic finishes in the brass building but yeah St. John's that final play I'm yelling at the screen because Kansas
[SPEAKER_01]: They're doing a foul shit, they have, and you text me, but you notice, it's a final minute of the game, and Kansas is only committed to fouls, so this is going to be a disaster.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what it is.
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't remember it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, to the one point game, or let's say the title game, that Kansas just starts.
[SPEAKER_01]: Fowling was a tag game tag game yeah, and a shot clock is off the cat Kansas says Hey, we'll just use the ball and fouls not knowing like if they don't make the shot like you're still in the double bonus in over time They don't make it, so this is a bad idea right it's like fouls don't reset in over time I think no, it's yeah, it's still be in the bonus doing this can't be a good idea and so
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm thinking, Bill Self is just thinking, you know, you don't want to give him time to set up your foul foul, and so by the time you commit your last foul, there's only four or five seconds left.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, what does St. John's do?
[SPEAKER_01]: And ball the bat ball, and ball, and bound the ball.
[SPEAKER_01]: and didn't just run straight to the basket to get a line and it'd be a game winner.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you could have got a chance to get the ball back if you had not found them, let them get a shot off and maybe you can respond.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just very perplexing how varied some of these end game situations are, and it's delightful to watch.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's what makes, this is a bad argument, but I think the, the inferiority of college basketball players, I think makes it more entertaining to watch than the NBA, like the NBA, everyone's playing the same style of basketball, either tanking or good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you know, you're going to see some shenanigans at the end of a college basketball game, just because, not again, NBA has experienced players, they generally know what they're doing.
[SPEAKER_01]: You see less disasters, like you'll see, you might see a stolen path or just a good difference of play.
[SPEAKER_01]: You'll see them not going to shot off, like you said.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the Lakers meet the magic on a three point at the end because, you know, they had multiple options on the play to run.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's only one option, and if that doesn't work, uh, hell, like, what do we do now?
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, the clock's right now, the game's over.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you get all of the fun devastating close-ups.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, they had a few minutes.
[SPEAKER_01]: The players that laying on the ground with their hands over their face, the guy kept crying on the bench.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was a tough, and apparently that's a new, well, it's a new, that's a new fluke player going crazy.
[SPEAKER_01]: This college tournament, doing too much, I would say.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because they're bobbing their heads up and down, and they're going, like, they're going to pay for that in 20 years.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, they're going to have a problem.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, but at least you get a band and college basketball, that's either really happy or really sad, as opposed to the NBA.
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember reading something, this had to have been 10 to 15 years ago where it was a, I think it was just like a contributed article somewhere or something where it was a fan, or a person in a band of one of, they were writing under anonymity, but essentially their school got eliminated the first day.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then one of the larger schools asked you want to also play in the back because a lot of them are playing similar songs, you know, you have to learn the team's fight songs, but like the pop version or the band version of, I don't know, there are multiple songs.
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I heard like a chapel-grown song or, you know, something, but with with the horn section and everything and
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just basically how they were saying, like, yeah, the team, you know, wanted a larger sound or extra, so they basically paid for like them to also be there to stay there longer.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, you know, if your team loses the first game, you're there for yeah, and that was also a great, a great reminder of just how I,
[SPEAKER_00]: like quick and and over things are there were there's multiple photos of Malik Renew for the Miami hurricanes forward and all ACC player this year sadly did not help beat Purdue in the second round but it's fine but there were multiple pictures of him in line waiting for concessions after the game like just still in his full his full uniform just like listen in a some music wise waiting to order some chicken tendons
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just, that's very, I think, you know, when we're, when you would 10 March, man, this game's in person, you kind of see this, too.
[SPEAKER_00]: Where it's like, look at this crazy buzzer, be that it just happened.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, all right, everyone get off the court.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's another game coming on.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like, it's so, we got to go disheartening sometimes.
[SPEAKER_00]: But you really, we really still get lots of excellent moments.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's just seeing, like, how smoothly it all operates, it's kind of fun.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think, you know, you're in full uniform at the concession scene.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, your dream is over.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, I didn't know that the bands could pay to, I was still stuck on that.
[SPEAKER_01]: So do they, do they give them a close to match?
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they're, I don't think they're paid.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think, I think there might be like a stipend for them to stay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I think they're, I think they're a room and board is covered.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's what.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there's actually I should see if I can find this but over my freelancing years over over the years.
[SPEAKER_00]: Over my freelancing gigs over the years.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a couple times written about sort of like the logistics of March madness and how they, you know, basically Sunday night, it's like they've got to send schools all across the country and there's limitations on when you
[SPEAKER_00]: The things that you're not always, I think, thinking about from a, like, I remember, I actually spoke with someone in produce athletic department.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I can't hate them that much because they...
[SPEAKER_00]: They were very helpful.
[SPEAKER_00]: They helped make that start, but he said, you know, like a team like Purdue is generally an at large team even if they don't win the big ten.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they tend to have an idea of where they might go, like if they're a higher seeded team like this year.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they can kind of start to plan ahead a little bit, but he's saying like there's all these.
[SPEAKER_00]: Excel spreadsheets like people will reach out to them and just basically be like, hey, you know, here's the logistics here's what we got for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, but then you have to keep track of every piece of equipment and like what you'll need and he said things like, you know, the woodwinds in a band, very easy to coordinate.
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember my little clarinet case, but then you look at something like a tuber or a French horn like that's an enormous thing you have to account for and it's just, it's crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Kudos to the people who help make it happen.
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder if BYU's fans stuck around.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure they thought they would be here longer.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I guess the elephant in a room, the one team I didn't want to see in the tournament, it's now in the sweet 16.
[SPEAKER_01]: My Texas longhorns, who somehow
[SPEAKER_01]: look better the second round in the first.
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess Gonzaga, like, I had less doubt that they would win.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let the fruit, like, well, actually, not even thinking about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: The first four game of like, oh, it's a state coming all the way back, and we're gonna lose this game.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the first round game, I'm like, oh, I'd be why they tried their best, but Texas is showing some resiliency, it's in mental fortitude.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the second round game, because I guess I was like, you know, we got this.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, we're the better team.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so now, we get the face, those same Purdue boiler makers,
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see what we got.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not I'm in.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I didn't want to see him in because I thought we get embarrassed.
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought, you know, NC State was going to be the highlight of our tournament.
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, hanging on by thread at the giving up like three straight trees in the final seconds that uh, tied the game.
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, we'll see what Purdue has.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know who's on.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know Zack he's not on Purdue anymore.
[SPEAKER_01]: So,
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see what happened.
[SPEAKER_00]: Zackie, he's not there, but basically everyone else from that team, still around a lot of four years, seniors, I break in Smith and I always forget to say, cough, I think, cough, cough.
[SPEAKER_00]: Both look like they could be omish reenactors at like a, you know, an omish cause playing sort of area.
[SPEAKER_00]: They both have the big bushy beards and
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you remember a Fletcher lawyer, but the year they lost to Fairly Dickinson, he started making some threes towards the end of the game when they're making it come back and then
[SPEAKER_00]: Just put up like a terrible game tying shot and just missed everything and I he was doing the the downward you At the end, but he was just doing it with So like, you know when you're doing down fill goal.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like, and I was like he's doing a soccer goal basically And I was just like, man, I hope if he does the hook him horns down.
[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't right
[SPEAKER_01]: He's gonna do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know how you do that wrong, but I'm sure you can upside down hangtain like Lo-ha man.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but we don't have to worry about that because we'll be we'll have to delete it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I can count We'll be no later, baby.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying to do my best Dickie V also.
[SPEAKER_01]: Did we record?
[SPEAKER_01]: We have a recorded system to turn them in.
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you want to talk about Charles Barkley and Dickens?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm the same brother.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my God.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was, it was paying for the ones.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, now let's, I was texting him.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, we can't, yeah, I put this on mute.
[SPEAKER_01]: This, I want to get in the car and listen to it on Westwood One because this is so bad.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm guessing that was a dream come true for Charles.
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you look, Dickie V is a legend because he's been the biggest college basketball fan of all time, I guess, but um, and I guess, you know, he's never, well, I guess he's been on the radio calls, but he's not normally, he doesn't look for CBS, he's no more for ESPNs and ESPNs doesn't have a tournament game.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's never really been on March, madness calls, and so, but boy, in charge of them, no nothing.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was so bad like didn't know who what was happening at the end of the game, who at the ball, what did they do?
[SPEAKER_01]: Did they call it time out?
[SPEAKER_01]: Did they did it go out of bounds?
[SPEAKER_01]: They were just asking questions.
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't remember who the who the main announcer was.
[SPEAKER_00]: Brian Anderson was the play by plan answer, who was also getting over a cold or something like he had a horse voice.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he couldn't even wrangle them in when he needed to.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's trying so hard to just put it back on track.
[SPEAKER_01]: Look, I guess if you're going to waste one of those, do it on the first floor and get, man, that was not good.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all I can say.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was not good.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was painful to listen to.
[SPEAKER_01]: There were quite a few tangents.
[SPEAKER_00]: Man.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because when they introduced the game, when they started setting up the game, I'm like, wait a minute.
[SPEAKER_01]: Why are they sitting there?
[SPEAKER_01]: Are they just like, got to hide?
[SPEAKER_01]: No, they're going to do the whole game?
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was for butt shout out to what's it the high point it was the high point commentator said got celebrated right because of their upsets speaking since we get them high point probably one of the the biggest upsets but also we were everybody was upset because the guy that only she's trees had to make a two and everything that went the game and so everybody was mad
[SPEAKER_00]: They had, yeah, they had Chase Johnson who shot zero for four from two points during the season and shot something like, I don't know, he shot like about 153s throughout the year and mostly was taking threes in this game as well, but got the game winning layout.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Sean, if you want further, I am munition to go against NIL and the death of the Cinderella High Point,
[SPEAKER_00]: High points of pretty rich school more so the UNC and Duke even like like people in the the North Carolina region We're saying you using Duke and North Carolina and Wake Forest and Nensu State Not like high point try to go and have is literally like built on like a hill It's just very high point.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I get it very wealthy university.
[SPEAKER_00]: So perhaps not even Texas is the true Cinderella
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't want to hear nobody complain about in I was like, oh, it's just we 16 and it's only one double these did you see in that double just to see the Texas so it's Texas to Cinderella like all right, like I know it's hard to I even I can't visualize Texas as a Cinderella because you know the Texas like we're not underdogs even when we're going to guess a heavily favorite opponent.
[SPEAKER_01]: We still don't say ourselves as underdogs like we don't start on the court when we win like with with with Texas, but like yeah, it's I don't blame and I am for that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it just Anyway, the term no year is the same like we we don't we lost one of the one seeds that's this year for the first time since I think 20 what was the 2018 that I'll once he's didn't make the sweet sweet 16 something like that
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I heard that on radio like Xavier lost to somebody, but regardless, like it could happen like it's not in a I was fall in I else was keeping these basketball players in college like if Peterson comes back I don't think a couple of them come back or or or the guy from the re where you I can't say maybe I don't want to mess it up but like I think you start seeing better basketball everybody was better
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree, I think the, well, I, I do need to correct you Sean on your, your statement of a once.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like that feels too long ago, and wouldn't you know it, Sean?
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you're well.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, no, 2023.
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
[SPEAKER_00]: Last year, we had all one seeds make the final four of my members, but they definitely made it.
[SPEAKER_00]: But 2023, that was when I, the game I was talking about earlier, Fairly Dickinson.
[SPEAKER_00]: Fair Dick.
[SPEAKER_00]: knocking off Purdue.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: You might have forgotten because it happened in the first round, and normally when a one-seed loses us in the second round, if they lose before the, the.
[SPEAKER_01]: We have to see the rule at here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: I keep thinking of Virginia losing and then winning the national team.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was 20.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was excellent.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they won the championship the next year and Purdue made the championship the next year.
[SPEAKER_00]: So really, that's the key.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think is get get the one seed lose get the one seed again the next year.
[SPEAKER_00]: Florida has got to be back in.
[SPEAKER_00]: Here I go.
[SPEAKER_00]: I could be back.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, losing the second round doesn't.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that was I think the death of I Xavier's program.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that I think that one seed was the year after they were a two seed and lost in the second round But I just a rough rough little go of it there.
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe years.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I guess I don't know man If you're a one or two seed, I feel like it can't be that rough over a year still still haven't a very good season overall even if you lose in this chaotic March madness tournament
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, like you said, shout out to the corner crop teams, shout out to the Nick Barnes coach teams.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we've got lots of, lots of great storylines in here.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be attending these, you're a former coach's game, Nick Barnes, UT, I was state game and then Michigan and Alabama and Sean, as you know, when you are at Marchman, this game.
[SPEAKER_00]: We try to get a mascot picture.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're Looking I'm looking forward to it because I like I like smokey from Tennessee.
[SPEAKER_00]: I like sigh the cardinal from Iowa State So I'm excited for those.
[SPEAKER_00]: I like big Al the elephant Alabama and then Michigan has no mascot because they tried to do a live Wolverine back in the day Good work, Kelly.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh Michigan versus Alabama says sounds like a colorful won't play off matchup
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a rock smart for it.
[SPEAKER_00]: What are we doing?
[SPEAKER_00]: It should still be good.
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope it's like...
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean both of those teams score and say them at some points.
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope it's like 120 to 109.
[SPEAKER_01]: I want Michigan to win.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because then you'll see like the fat five come out again.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they lose.
[SPEAKER_01]: But y'all came all the way to shoot and send in the course out again.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they...
[SPEAKER_01]: they fell apart but at least the last time they made the national championship it's what brought Chris Weber and Jaylee rose back together because they were beefing but then they came together and all of that end to one how we're getting the hit coaching job at that point at some point brought those guys back together but yeah Michigan versus Alabama not for the BCS national championship but a for a birth into the lead-a
[SPEAKER_00]: Just just as we drew it up.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but at the start of the year.
[SPEAKER_00]: I also forgot this one Gonzaga got eliminated by your Texas longhorns.
[SPEAKER_00]: I forgot that Michigan beat them by 40 points.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, earlier in the States.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know the idea.
[SPEAKER_00]: I said hi if I had.
[SPEAKER_00]: So Michigan is that reread that again.
[SPEAKER_00]: I maybe wouldn't have believed.
[SPEAKER_01]: What do we think about?
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks.
[SPEAKER_01]: So Yukon isn't as good as they were two years ago when they were just like the best coach team ever.
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like Harley's still a dick and like it still make their way through because it's Yukon, like they win.
[SPEAKER_01]: They'll just show up and win like when you don't expect them to and then they show up and when you do let's expect them to like, I don't know what they think.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we were talking about it last week, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: We're some of the, the like bracket tips are like one seed or Yukon, it's like OSOU because Yukon will just randomly like they won the championship as a seven seed one year.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I still remember that their first round game they played against St. Joe's, which I remember because I picked St. Joe's because they have a Joe in the name.
[SPEAKER_00]: I also thought they were the better team.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they were winning that game late and you come forced over time.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then went on the run from there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see, so we should get spotted 10 points because Texas has played an extra game as opposed to everybody else left in their training room.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I guess, well, never mind.
[SPEAKER_01]: We got eliminated in the first run of our conference tournament, so maybe we are the fresher team.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: But, like, how far as I first 14 gone?
[SPEAKER_01]: Texas was like the second to last team to make the tournament.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they got to be, as I say, hit your stupid cliche playing with house money, which I don't know what that means.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm guessing the house gives you money to play poker with.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what you're playing with.
[SPEAKER_01]: So you lose, I think, is that what that means?
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think, yeah, I think it's from you've won already to get money from the house.
[SPEAKER_01]: OK.
[SPEAKER_00]: I would assume that's, I mean, that's, I don't play poker when I've gone to Casinos.
[SPEAKER_00]: I just do blackjack.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know the rules of poker well.
[SPEAKER_00]: You do math.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Blackjack.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know the people are waiting for you to make your decision.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did sit at a table once at a guy.
[SPEAKER_00]: He did it straight up.
[SPEAKER_00]: Say it out loud, but he definitely implied it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, oh, my luck seemed to have changed.
[SPEAKER_00]: Once another guy sat at the table and I was even I mean, I guess I was like next I was several seats away But it was just us at the table and he he re-upped for like a thousand dollars.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just like oh well I am
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not I suited to do so as soon as I'm so scared.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm so scared I can see no tables like we're going to go Sean.
[SPEAKER_01]: The deal is, thankfully the sealers are dumb from some are like the dealers will say the amount like they'll say the number and you just need to know if it's 17 or not and 17 you stay and if it's under you hit but like but still I've still never because then they split it or they you know you double down I'm like I don't know what's happening I'm leaving.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sean says, you can stay, but I'm leaving it in the brain, flies out of its head.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Sean, this is a push in our longest episode ever, but it is the 200th episode.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's an extravaganza.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we need to ask because you filled out a women's bracket during the last show.
[SPEAKER_00]: What?
[SPEAKER_00]: Does it look like is it busted?
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you ripped it up?
[SPEAKER_00]: I know it's still bracket.
[SPEAKER_00]: So have you destroyed your computer?
[SPEAKER_01]: If you go on a talk before today, before as of the recording Monday, if you went chocolate, you're pretty good.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I selected Tennessee to make the lead eight after ending the regular season on a eight game losing streak.
[SPEAKER_01]: Similar to the Texas, maybe they got blown out in the first round.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not in the top tier.
[SPEAKER_01]: All my final 14th ring because all the all the top teams are still looking good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Texas, winning by 40, UConn, winning by 50.
[SPEAKER_01]: South Carolina, winning by 50.
[SPEAKER_01]: But so as far as my champions being in it, it looks good, but as far as like my percentage, like I'm in the top 33% which is not good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because that's a
[SPEAKER_01]: I took some chances, all right, I took some chances because who wants that boring guy's chalk bracket but maybe that's what you should do if you want to try to win.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, same.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like the Sierra I tried to take a few more chances too.
[SPEAKER_00]: We never know a high point is going to win.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, oh, I picked that correctly.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, thank you.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to pick a 12, 5 somewhere.
[SPEAKER_01]: So like,
[SPEAKER_01]: or two, 12, five, maybe, you know.
[SPEAKER_01]: But like, seeing a kind of, come on, seeing it, you kind of, y'all kind of did it for us.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, everyone was saying how all these smaller schools have no shot.
[SPEAKER_00]: And 13 through 16, there was at least one game.
[SPEAKER_00]: In each of those seeds, we're within the final minutes.
[SPEAKER_00]: But in about two minutes, it was a one or two possession game.
[SPEAKER_01]: then Saint Louis won they beat like Georgia in the first round by like 40 and then because because they had a avila he was on a bitch I boy cream I do I'm too much of far but then in the second game
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just, it's just a rough car, they didn't have anything.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's why you really can't, like, I know in, uh, Billicants, that's funny to say.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're, I also one of the best mascots.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was kind of disappointed, they didn't beat Michigan, because I would have gotten to see St. Louis, which I'm sure would have been a worse basketball game, and Alabama was Michigan, but still would have been great to get a picture with the Billicon.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe.
[SPEAKER_00]: Next tournament we'll see but it's it's um, I feel like it's very easy to overreact after One game and I I the Florida games probably the best example of this where they won by 59 against Prairie View A&M I don't know I if you I'll buyren Byron Smith is I think that's the Prairie View A&M coach, but hit he
[SPEAKER_00]: during his in game interview, which I think was probably like early in the second half.
[SPEAKER_00]: They asked, you know, what do you need to do to slow them down?
[SPEAKER_00]: Said something like, oh, we're gonna need some help from the Lord on this first.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's pretty good.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm very honest, and I don't think the Lord is gonna care, so
[SPEAKER_01]: Good luck.
[SPEAKER_01]: He said he got a dog.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, four to one by fifty nine and then lost by one It's I old old lady momentum now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, not always applicable But I interrupt you said 200 200 episode 200 so we're about to list off all 200 of our favorite sports moments within the past forty four years as this podcast has been
[SPEAKER_00]: All 200.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, we, I think, uh, I think the range is winning the full series.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that takes up all 200 slats.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's awesome.
[SPEAKER_00]: I enjoyed Miami making the funnel for and going to that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that was fun.
[SPEAKER_00]: I enjoyed our trip to Denver last year as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: We saw the ronkeys and the bronchets.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully another one in store for 2026.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some shenanigans of sports or dumb on the road.
[SPEAKER_00]: Get a van, store all the podcast equipment.
[SPEAKER_01]: Wait, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Wait, wait, wait.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, not saying.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's an excellent note to end on, I think, just say a fantastic 200th episode on par with the 199 before it probably better than the most of them and maybe maybe the best of all time.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: The boat, if you will, do people use that?
[SPEAKER_00]: I know it's great at the all time all the time.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I know it's weird.
[SPEAKER_01]: the uh no I've never heard the boat.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying to think of a situation where I did hear the boat not not not not one comes among looks like people are messing about we got to start it oh gosh we got
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to contribute to the boat or the goat or just say hello, sports or dumb on Instagram, we also always love seeing comments on Spotify, you can leave reviews also on Spotify or Apple podcast,
[SPEAKER_00]: grow pods, mopods.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's seven, seven eight ever.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I haven't checked where we are at on the volleyball.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Characely.
[SPEAKER_00]: But we actually can't make a volleyball reference here in Nebraska, typically more of a volleyball school, and now they're in the sweet 16.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm worried.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, they were football school forever, and now they're not.
[SPEAKER_01]: They were volleyball school, and now they're a basketball school.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nebraska ball does flow off the the mouth a little easier than nebrolie ball or nebrolie ball.
[SPEAKER_00]: What are you talking about?
[SPEAKER_00]: Just terrible portment has all around.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because wordplay, not dumb.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sports are dumb.
[SPEAKER_00]: Happy to a dread.
