Play the hits, Play the hits. One of the bosses around here like to say back in the day, play the hits. Don't bury the lead, my man Art, We're not gonna bury the lead. So we'll start with the madness of March. We have made it through the spectacle that is the first weekend, really the weekend of engagement, and it is one of the few events that we have that the excitement goes down. It starts at the crescendo and then goes the other direction. But we're down to the Sweet sixteen now and a rather uneventful, uneventful opening weekend, and we did have a couple of dramatic, somewhat dramatic Maryland game buzzer beater there to knock down and knock out Colorado State. It would be the moment of the weekend. The game that A couple of games that got my attention over the weekend. I went down in Flames with Rick Patino and Saint John's he lasted. Well, there's a joke there about how long Saint John's lasted, but I think you know the joke and I don't need to go down to that level to make the joke about how long Saint John's lasted. And you don't really care about my bracket. You only worry about your bracket, so it's not really that important. But on Sunday, the game that I circled that I was I kind of want to watch this more than the other games was Yukon and the Florida Gators. I was like, all right, again, we got something there. Yukon coach famously went out and had a little nice dinner, played foot seat with the Lakers and then said screw you. I'm saying right where I am, you losers, and I love that. I thought that was great. He stuck it to the Lakers and talked about Dan Hurley, the coach at Connecticut, So Yukon trying for a three peat that the back to back champions coming to play on Sunday and a game that came down close. Game came down to the bidder.

A nail bier.

A nail bier.

It was a nail bier, but in the end, the Gator chop gets it done. The Florida Gators the number one seed and they're part of the bracket. There they win seventy seven seventy They said a little we do not have the number one. Lorrain is busy, she was busy talking. So there we're going. Now we have the number one. The number one was down. Oh my god. All right, so that means for Connecticut turn at the last, the parties over. They're done, the number eight seed out as they have been exterminated from the NCAA tournament. Now, what happened after the game is to me, the more interesting part of the story. The better story is in the losing locker room. And so there was a viral malmet that took place after the game. How he saw it, maybe you didn't see it, but Dan Hurley was caught on Camden camera as he was stomping off the court there and he had a profane message to the team that was going to follow Yukon and Florida on the court there in Raleigh, as a grainy cell phone footage captured Dan Hurley seemingly admonishing the referees, putting the finger of blame on the officials as he entered the bowels of the arena there in North Carolina. As he went viral, he said, I hope they don't blank you like the they blanked us. I think you can figure out what the blank is there. I hope they don't do that to you Baylor, And well turns out apparently they did because Baylor was pulverized by Duke in their game. So the story here is Dan Hurley and he's the headliner there for Connecticut basketball. He has been called out by someone say internet trolls. Other people say they're supporting truth, justice and sportsmanship way, but either way, people were upset saying that the head coach there of Yukon, it was unbecoming of Dan Hurley what he did. He acted like a toddler that had a conniption fit. So let us discuss the question did Dan Hurley embarrass himself and Yukon for being a sore loser as he walked off the court so I've got Bruski medicine, cabinet and guillantine, and we will combine all of these things to get and we are going to make a to ducan is what We're going to make a nice to duckin to make the agony go away. Enjoy your to duck and so so A to answer the question, does Dan Hurley to embarrass himself for being a sort loser? I'm shaking my head. No, I don't have that. I didn't write that on my note card. I did not write that on my note card. And to me, there's nothing to be ashamed of. I didn't see anything there. He calmed down and gave some poetic quotes to the assembled media later on. But the raw emotion of a lot of competitions Early's walking off the court here. Now, I wish my take was diff It'd be better talk radio for oh Man, Dan Hurley's a deucee canoe and man, what a loser. I don't feel that way. I don't know there's a natural reaction. He's not a gracious loser. Did anyone think Dan Hurley was anything but an angry loser when his team loses? Is this is some kind of revelation from Basketball Nation seriously, and I'm okay with it. I'm okay with it. Why last I checked, this is not a Saturday morning at the YMCA teaching little children about how to play basketball and sportsmanship. Dan Hurley all right, for better or worse. His favorite ruski is Modello. He's got that fighting spirit and I like that. I like that passion. It's a passion play and I think it's good as newt Rockney and others have been credited with saying, when it comes to wins and losses, wins and losses, you show me a good loser, and I will show you a loser. And so Hurley's not a good loser. We know that. And let's be real, He's a professional coach. Dan Hurley is a professional coach. He's making eight million dollars a year, over eight million dollars a year to coach in a sleepy college town in Connecticut. And this is the This is the test. The Ncaaight Tournament is the test. No one watches college basketball other than the target that you're a degenerate gambler. You're not watching college basketball other than March madness. So this is the only time that matters, and he felt that his team was aggrieved by the referees and he was upset by it, and that was his reaction. But we know, we know about Dan. The guy is a convicted whack a doodle. He is a whack adoodle. A lot of these coaches are whack a doodles. Well, the players are whackadoodles.

It was a nail bier, but in the end, the Gator chop gets it done. The Florida Gators the number one seed and they're part of the bracket. There they win seventy seven seventy They said a little we do not have the number one. Lorrain is busy, she was busy talking. So there we're going. Now we have the number one.

The guy is a convicted whack a doodle. He is a whack adoodle. A lot of these coaches are whack a doodles. Well, the players are whackadoodles.

All right.

All right.

This is not a natural thing. That's the way it is. He's a professional coach, Dan Hurley. The players are making money. They're professionals, anil deals. It's professional basketball. That's what it is. Student athlete, my fat asst it was never student athlete. They're always getting money in envelopes. Now they're getting it right out in front. Well, Dan Hurley, none of that story. A couple of weeks ago, we talked about it a little bit on the air, but they did a deep dog I have on what makes Dan Hurley tick. And you know he burns sage to ward off bad juju, and he sprits his holy water on the court. He's got bags of garlic bulbs he walks around with to keep evil spirits away. I mean, he's going for it now, He's doing all that right, he's got all that stuff in his repertoire, and so that's who he is. He eats the same lucky blue m and ms before every game, like he's got this routine. He only eats the color blue unless the other team has the opponent has the colored blue, and then he's got to switch it up and eat like a red or a green, depending on what color they have. So snapping like Dan Hurley did on brands, it's on brand. We're fine with it. We're good all right now, turning the page. So we also had a number of complaints over the weekend. Michigan State, which is advanced, coach Tom is a good old Tom Is. He's one of the old old cop You're still hanging out, so Tom is Oh. And then UCLA's mccron was eliminated over the weekend. But both coaches is Oh and mc cronin were grumbling. They got that grumbling tummy over the weekend. They were complaining about what what were they complaining about, Oh my god, we've got to play those late games. I got so late. Yeah, they were complaining about the late start times in the NCAA tournament and the question do you have any empathy for Tom Is at Michigan State and Mick Cronin at UCLA, both of them giving the bad body language and the grumbling about the start times for their teams. And the UCLA has been eliminated at Michigan State plays on so on this one thumbs up, thumbs down, I go thumbs down. I do not do not have empathy, do not have empathy for either one of these guys. And my advice, unsolicited overnight sports radio advice, is to go down the medical cabinet, medicine cabinet you have there, and open it up on the second shelf, not the first, not the top shelf, the second shelf, right in the middle, the middle shelf of the medicine cabinet. There's a little white bottle. And you take that little white bottle and you open it up. It's got the child lock on it. You twisted a little bit. You got to squeeze down and then twist you open it up. You take one pill out, not two, not three to one pill. It's a no dose and it's called caffeine. And you can stamp. It's an amazing thing. Suck it up, buttercup, okay, And why it's a TV show. Right, it's a TV show. And if you have a chance to be on a TV show that pays a lot of money, you do it whenever they want you to do the TV show. That's the way that it works. In the NCAA Men's basketball tournament has multiplied television revenue nearly seventy times in the last forty years. Let me repeat that for those of you slow in the back of the room. The NCUBLEA as a television show has increased revenue nearly seventy times since the early nineteen eighties. Is there any other TV show that has seen that kind of revenue increase consistently? Probably not one point one billion a year. One point one billion a year. So this is a teachable moment. Now, what is the lesson? The lesson? Those that make the gold make the rules, and the ones that make the gold are TV. And thus the TV advertisers who have this weird, this weird formula that they have where they spread all the games out to certain television windows and they determine where they can get the most bang for their buck. And that's the way that it goes. And if they tell you to play at two in the morning, then you should be like you're in the United States Marines and say sir, yesh, yes, sir, okay, we're there. We'll be happy to do it. Now that said, there is something that Mick Cronin said. There is something that Mick Cronin said that I completely am lockstep with. He complained about the allegion Air flight back to Los Angeles. He did not seem to appreciate the quality of Allegionaire. Now, to be fair, I have not flown a Llegianaire. I have friends that have and have not said kind things, have not said kind things, So I can't say firsthand that I've had a bad experience. But I have had people in my circle that have not had very kind things to say about Allegionaire. But you think this is kind of big business and they should be able to I don't know, afford something that you don't have to pedal power to have the thing take off. But what do I know? All right? Anyway, all right, now, last word here. So we have now whittled down, down, down, down down. We have whittled down the NCAA tournament field from sixty eight teams to sixteen teams. And how do you die? Sect the clear and obvious lack of Cinderella. Cinderella is not there. There is no Cinderella in the Sweet sixteen of March Madness. So how do you dissect this? So I have, after a special minutes long mallar dissection, I have determined this is industrial strength chalk. Is what this is? Obviously it's industrial straight chalk. So the Sweet sixteen the total seed value, you know, they add up the seeds fifty five? What does that mean in Layman's terms? So it means the average seed going forward now that we've made it through the first weekend is three point four to four? Is the average seed? The only the only team that is worse than a six is one team worse than a six. I believe it's John Calipari and Arkansas. Does anyone think that at John Calipari Arkansas team counts as a upstart team? Probably not right. And twenty oho seven, you gotta go back that. I mean, I was barely alive in twenty I was a little baby in twenty oh seven. No, I wasn't here doing shows.

This is not a natural thing. That's the way it is. He's a professional coach, Dan Hurley. The players are making money. They're professionals, anil deals. It's professional basketball. That's what it is. Student athlete, my fat asst it was never student athlete. They're always getting money in envelopes. Now they're getting it right out in front.

I mean, I was barely alive in twenty I was a little baby in twenty oh seven. No, I wasn't here doing shows.

No.

No.

Twenty oh seven was the last time that we had this kind of a chrucky mcchalk situation. In the sweet sixteen, and that was a no team worse than a seven seed that was twenty oh seven. So you do the math on that, and which was twenty twenty five, and so that's eighteen years ago. That's a long time. So if you were born in twenty oh seven, you've just gotten out of like high school now and you're off to the real world. So I would say, welcome to the new normal. I'm gonna go conspiracy theory guy. I'll go tinfoil hat guy. It was a song years ago that said video killed the radio star. I would argue that Nil took the guillotine and beheaded the upstart Cinderella the mid major, that it's a guillotine to the Cinderella. Here's why, all right, name image like this what I'm not against it. It seems a little bit out of control to me, but I'm not against it. Right, I'm the guy that ranted from the bully pulpit. It's ridiculous, you know, just say it keeps saying student athlete, these guys should get paid over the table. They got paid over the table. Fine, but name amage and likeness poaching. It's like whaling. And you hear stories about I don't know how much that's true or not, but the whaling and back in the sixties and they just destroyed the whale population out in the oceans and all that, but the poaching. If you're halfway decent at a mid major, you're not staying at a mid major. You're not. There is a dramatic decline of the underdog, the first sign of life you have if you're a mid major player, and they're always on the hunt. They're always on the prowl at these major schools, and they're gonna snatch you away and give you a giant check. If you're a diamond in the rough, you're not going to be in the rough for very long. So for me, I can't count John Calipart. I cannot count as an underdog. So for me, I gotta go BYU. That Tater Tot guy, the Tater top bloodline guy. That's got to be the dog, right, That's got to be the underdog. B Yu Tater Todd guy, grandfather inventer of the Tator Todd, the kid for b Yu, that's got to be the one.
