March Madness, or in other words, I like to call it March sadness.

March Madness, or in other words, I like to call it March sadness.

This year.

This year.

Seriously, there have been maybe one or two really good NCAA March Madness Games. First round is typically upset city, where you see these miraculous runs from teams that defeat the Kentucky's or defeat the top ranked teams in the country. And we saw mcneee beat Clemson, but Clemson was the slowest white boy team that I've ever seen in the first round of March Madness history, and mcnees's just out athletic Clemson. We saw a little bit of March madness in the second round.

We saw.

Colorado State go down because of a buzzer beater by Maryland in the final seconds of the game. That's what a buzzer beater is if you didn't know the definition of what a buzzer beater was. And Colorado State's coach is now gonna come over to the University of Minnesota and try to apply that same spark that he had at Colorado State at the University of Minnesota. But all of this discussion really sets up why we haven't seen much spectacular March Madness play, and I think it's a large part due to nil money and the amount of money college athletes can make and the ability to transfer whenever you want.

Player that is on a mid major basketball team and you want to get recognized after having one good season, you don't stay at that mid major basketball team anymore.

If it is a Golden Gophers basketball team, as miserable a team as they are, because if you decide to play for the Gophers instead of a mid major while you're playing against Michigan State, you're playing against Indiana, Michigan, Purdue, and there's a chance that you're gonna get recognized.

Playing against one of those teams if you have a good game.

Playing against one of those teams if you have a good game.

So you see these small market collegiate basketball teams and they're not the same that they used to be because all of their great players transferred to bigger programs for more money and to get recognized overseas or by the NBA. So that's what we're seeing this season in college basketball. That's why it's been March sadness instead of March madness. You're just kind of waiting for something to happen and nothing really is. Although there is one sport where March Madness.

Gabe Stevenson, a Gophers wrestling legend, of course, is the is in the NCAA Finals again, because the dude's a beast. He'd take a look at his arms and how can anybody beat this guy? His career record at the University of Minnesota, it says here he finished with the season with an eighteen and one record and ended his college career at Minnesota with a record of what one hundred and three wins and only three losses?

So this guy doesn't lose.

And there's about twenty five seconds left, and I'm going to play for you the video here. In a second, he's got the lead four two, and somehow this Oklahoma state wrestler in front of the President of the United States, which is super cool. I think how many presidents of the United States go to a collegiate NCAA wrestling match for the championship. I don't think it's ever been done, or at least not in the last decade.

N c a A wrestling took all the magic out of n c a A basketball this year and had the upset of the century. And then the Oklahoma State wrestler goes around and gets congratulated by President Trump. Think about the amount of fame and and maybe money going forward. Well, just think about those fifteen minutes. He's got thirty seconds to go, He's down to no one would blame him for losing. He's going against Gable Stevenson, who never loses. He gets at his knees, he gets the three points, goes up by a one, and holds on for dear life for the final five to ten seconds and wins the match and then shakes President Trump's hand.

March mattiness this year in NCAA collegiate sports I saw this the other day. Sports Center posted a screenshot of Yukon women's basketball going against Arkansas State, and it's at halftime.

And my first reaction to this, and I posted it on my ex account against say at Minnesota, tim one is, what do you say during the postgame handshake? How can you even dare to say without a smirk?

Good game.

Good game.

You're down by fifty points at halftime. How can you say good game and actually mean that good season? I guess that's probably the way you go, But historically you go through the handshake line and say.

Good game, good game, good game, good game.

Good game, good game, good game, good game.

And then you get to the bench players, and then it's even more awkward because me being a bench player in high school, what do you say to the other bench player? Hey, wait to share on your teammates, good job. I saw you over there, I saw you standing up when your teammates took a charge.

Phenomenal work.

But you're up fifty points, You're one of your best players scores twenty one points in the first half, and they outscored Arkansas State by themselves by five points. What do you say during that post game handshake? Can you really say anything. All right. My final topic that I want to talk about is Adrian Peterson because someone posted the other day and has said trure false. This comes from mL football on x AND's got three hundred and thirty five thousand followers, your home for everything football Credential Media.

Adrian Peterson is a top five running back in NFL history. Now you look at the top five runners in NFL history, this is strictly a running Emmett Smith eighteen thousand yards, Walter Payton sixteen almost seventeen thousand yards, Frank Gore sixteen thousand yards exactly, Barry Sanders fifteen thousand yards, Adrian Peterson almost fifteen one thousand yards. So Adrian Peterson is fifth on the all time rushing list, And if you ask him today, he probably still thinks he'll break Emmett Smith's record, because he still probably thinks that he's in the best shape of his life, because that's just the type of belief that Adrian Peterson has.

He played in the NFL from two thousand and seven to.

Twenty twenty one, and we all know his MVP season where he almost broke Eric Dickerson's single game, single season rushing record, but as far as a rusher, Adrian Peterson top five, But as far as guys that I'm picking to be my running back, I am going to pick other guys even outside the top five ahead of Adrian Peterson. And the reason why is because my ideal running back can do it all. He can catch, he can block, and he can hold out on the football. Because you look at Adrian Peterson's his receiving receptions throughout the years throughout his career nineteen his rookie year, twenty one is second year, forty three is thirty or thirty six eighteen forty twenty nine two in twenty fourteen, thirty three, eleven two nine twenty seventeen twelve. Adrian Peterson was not known as a guy that was a very good player catching the ball out of the backfield, and it was also not known as a guy that could hang out in the football because his rookie year he lost at four times, the second year he lost at nine times, his thirty year he lost his seven times, and then one one four five zero seven one three zero three three three three zero.

One zero one.

Throughout his entire career, the dude had forty nine fumbles for a seventeen game average of five fumbles per season. That's Adrian Peterson's career five fumbles per seventeen game average.

My ideal running back can catch, can block, and can hold onto the football. Now, as pure rushing attackers go, Adrian Peterson is a top five rushing running back, but he's not an all around great running back. Ap could take anything to the house on any given play. He was unbelievable at breaking tackles and mowing guys over. But even in that NFC Championship game, people talk about the officiating, They talk about Farv's interception. Adrian peterson fumbles don't get enough criticism because I don't even know how many fumbles he was actually charged with because of the whole stupid NFL statistical category thing. A lot of those fumbles were on Adrian Peterson. Even though people want to be like, oh, it was far recording to this debts, it was far. It was on Adrian Peterson. He wouldn't hold.

Onto the ball.

So as talented as Adrian Peterson was, sure put him in the top five if you want to. That's not what I'm discussing. I'm discussing and making a point that if you put them top five, I have no problem with that, But I would take other running backs outside the top five if I was hand selecting.

List despite his fumbling kind of issues, but as far as all around, there's plenty of guys that are better than him. There's plenty of guys that can be on the field on third down because they can block for their quarterback or catch a pass out of the backfield consistently. So saw that thrown out there. I thought that was a fun discussion to talk about. But those are the topics today. Upset of the century, Adrian Peterson. Is he a top five back, sure, but there's other guys I'm taking ahead of them. And Ukond of women's basketball. What do you say in that post game handshake? A good game? You can kidding me? That's the show today. Thank you for making this podcast party of your day.
