WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.580
of this show are recorded. Strap in and be prepared.

00:00:04.940 --> 00:00:07.160
Room for error is much slimmer in basketball.

00:00:07.219 --> 00:00:09.839
One player and it changes your entire team. It's

00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:11.380
not like that in football. It's just not. It's

00:00:11.380 --> 00:00:14.419
not. Interesting guests. Kelly Graves, Mike Parker,

00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.640
Coach Mark Waskowski, Noah Eagle, Melissa Lombardi,

00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:20.120
Kenyon Barnard, Jonathan Stewart. Sharp opinions.

00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:25.019
Dana Altman probably earned a pass for a down

00:00:25.019 --> 00:00:29.559
year after almost 20 years. of what he's done

00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:32.520
for Oregon basketball. And some smiles. Guys,

00:00:32.579 --> 00:00:34.219
I was stuck in a car wash. Sounds like an R.

00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:38.679
Kelly song. It's not an R. Kelly song. It's Danny

00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:41.700
Havel. I can't remember, and I've been doing

00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:44.179
this for longer than you've been alive, which

00:00:44.179 --> 00:00:46.619
is really horrible that I have to say that, but

00:00:46.619 --> 00:00:48.960
it's the truth. Justin Grossweiner. It's like

00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:50.780
the saying in Alaska, that you don't have to

00:00:50.780 --> 00:00:52.619
be faster than the bear, you just have to be

00:00:52.619 --> 00:00:55.229
faster than your friend. Danny and Justin starts

00:00:55.229 --> 00:00:58.609
now on Fox Sports Eugene and Fox Sports Newport.

00:01:01.689 --> 00:01:11.609

Danny and Justin Radio Program. Welcome, friends,

00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:28.700
to a Friday. We made it to the weekend. And a

00:01:28.700 --> 00:01:31.819
packed show today with no guests. We've tried

00:01:31.819 --> 00:01:34.260
it before. We're flying without a net today.

00:01:34.540 --> 00:01:36.799
So come on and join us on the Oregon Man Clinics

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.459
online at 541 -343 -5673. We will throw out some

00:01:40.459 --> 00:01:43.599
topics we would love to hear from you, our fans,

00:01:43.780 --> 00:01:46.560
our listeners, our P1s. We're also going to do

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.379
big bets just like we always do on Fridays with

00:01:49.379 --> 00:01:52.180
Cokewell Casino Resort sponsoring that segment

00:01:52.180 --> 00:01:54.939
of our program where they will award a listener,

00:01:55.019 --> 00:01:58.579
if they beat our score, a two -night stay. at

00:01:58.579 --> 00:02:01.019
Cokewell Casino Resort, and $100 on your player's

00:02:01.019 --> 00:02:02.900
card. Can't use it for sports betting. You've

00:02:02.900 --> 00:02:05.219
got to be 21 and over. And we put you in a drawing

00:02:05.219 --> 00:02:08.340
for the March Madness Suite, the championship

00:02:08.340 --> 00:02:11.539
game. They are going to have that for you if

00:02:11.539 --> 00:02:15.120
you win the drawing at the end of this session,

00:02:15.219 --> 00:02:17.020
which is basketball. So we'll do basketball again

00:02:17.020 --> 00:02:20.740
all day today. I like it that I can see Intern

00:02:20.740 --> 00:02:23.800
Dom, Intern Blaze, Intern Dom's out front, but

00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.000
I can see Intern Blaze over the top of my monitor.

00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.439
Dom is, like, lower. I can just see his hair,

00:02:30.580 --> 00:02:32.840
but I can actually see Blaze. We can make eye

00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.800
contact. I got Baby J over here. I'm Doc. What

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:40.580
up, boy? Yar! You like that? Did you like that?

00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:43.740
I did like that. Slid that in there for a Friday.

00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:45.580
It was an interesting choice. Have you heard

00:02:45.580 --> 00:02:48.520
of National Talk Like a Pirate Day? I have not.

00:02:48.699 --> 00:02:51.800
When did I miss this? When is that? See, you

00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:53.539
bring this up, then you've got to let me know

00:02:53.539 --> 00:02:55.280
because I literally— Let's see. I've got to tell

00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.219
you a great pirate story. We've got a little

00:02:57.219 --> 00:02:59.139
bit of a ways. There's a great pirate story as

00:02:59.139 --> 00:03:00.620
well that I can tell you. While you're looking

00:03:00.620 --> 00:03:02.599
at that, I'll tell you my pirate story. You ready

00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.919
for this, intern? Blaze, Dom's out there manning

00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:07.460
the phones. So you want to call in right now,

00:03:07.539 --> 00:03:10.180
we'll put you on hold, and we'll throw you right

00:03:10.180 --> 00:03:12.199
on the air with us. You can ask a question, comment,

00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.280
whatever you want. Just make sure it's clean.

00:03:15.580 --> 00:03:18.740
So my pirate story is this. My daughter— Before

00:03:18.740 --> 00:03:20.879
she was 10 years old, we always had themed birthday

00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.360
parties. One year it was like Frozen. Another

00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.479
year it was Rapunzel. And another year we had

00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:30.139
a pirate -themed birthday. And this is when I

00:03:30.139 --> 00:03:32.919
was living up in Damascus. Had all of her little

00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:34.560
friends over. Everybody dressed up as pirates.

00:03:34.699 --> 00:03:37.159
Deb and I, my wife, we dressed up as pirates.

00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:41.139
And I was leaving for New York the next day.

00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:43.840
We had all the parents over as well. Not all

00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.780
of them dressed as pirates, but I did. So I don't

00:03:46.780 --> 00:03:49.319
know how it happened, and just hand to God, there

00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.500
was no alcohol involved. How old were you? Well,

00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.780
my daughter, I think it was her seventh birthday.

00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:02.460
Okay. So I would have been in my early 50s. Okay.

00:04:03.300 --> 00:04:06.039
So I'm dressed up as the pirate. I mean, I'm

00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.240
Jack Sparrowed out, man. I got the hat with the

00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.300
long hair extensions on it and everything else

00:04:11.300 --> 00:04:16.860
like that. So I'm doing that. And all of a sudden,

00:04:16.939 --> 00:04:19.019
like halfway through the party, because I'm telling

00:04:19.019 --> 00:04:22.980
people that I'm heading to New York, they go,

00:04:23.100 --> 00:04:28.480
I dare you to wear that on the plane to New York.

00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:33.079
And so then I said, well, I'm not doing this

00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:34.899
unless I'm getting a little something something

00:04:34.899 --> 00:04:38.459
for it. So there was literally almost $200 down

00:04:38.459 --> 00:04:42.879
on the table. And I have pictures of this. I

00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:47.100
wore. With my plastic scabbard, I wore the pirate

00:04:47.100 --> 00:04:50.560
outfit from Portland Airport all the way to JFK.

00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:52.839
I was having people— They allowed you with the

00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.100
scabbard? Well, it was plastic. Okay, so this

00:04:55.100 --> 00:04:57.220
is definitely post -9 -11, though. Yes, it's

00:04:57.220 --> 00:05:02.060
post -9 -11, but it was plastic. So there were

00:05:02.060 --> 00:05:04.800
literally kids asking their parents to take pictures

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:08.100
with me when I got off the plane in New York.

00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:10.899
And I thought I was going to be embarrassed by

00:05:10.899 --> 00:05:13.339
it. Absolutely not. And I made $200. There you

00:05:13.339 --> 00:05:16.060
go. Well, I did my quick research on International

00:05:16.060 --> 00:05:21.000
Talk Like a Pirate Day. Ironically, just an hour

00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.319
and 15 minutes away from your party in 1995,

00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.980
six months after I was born in Albany, Oregon.

00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.939
Albany? Albany. Albany. Albany. Whatever. I lived

00:05:31.939 --> 00:05:36.420
in New York. John Bauer and Mark Summers created

00:05:36.420 --> 00:05:38.939
this holiday, International Talk Like a Pirate

00:05:38.939 --> 00:05:41.199
Day. It's from Oregon. So you know what else

00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.180
is from Oregon? National Corn Dog Day. Really?

00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:45.819
Have you heard of National Corn Dog Day, Blaze?

00:05:46.379 --> 00:05:49.300
You can turn your microphone on. Just nodding

00:05:49.300 --> 00:05:51.040
to me on radio doesn't work for me sometimes.

00:05:51.139 --> 00:05:53.100
No, I've never heard of National Corn Dog Day.

00:05:53.100 --> 00:05:56.480
National Corn Dog Day was a couple of frat brothers

00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:00.639
in Corvallis at Oregon State built this. It was

00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:02.379
many, many years ago. And there actually was

00:06:02.379 --> 00:06:08.060
sponsors with Pabst Blue Ribbon or Ida for the

00:06:08.060 --> 00:06:10.180
tater tots. So what it is, it's a contest. You

00:06:10.180 --> 00:06:14.389
get to be King Corn Dog. For the day, it is eating

00:06:14.389 --> 00:06:21.110
10 corndogs, downing 10 12 -ounce beers, and

00:06:21.110 --> 00:06:24.430
eating 100 tater tots. And whoever gets there

00:06:24.430 --> 00:06:28.790
first is King Corndog. And it is on the opening

00:06:28.790 --> 00:06:31.290
weekend of March Madness. I hosted one of these

00:06:31.290 --> 00:06:32.829
parties for a couple of years. Did you play -by

00:06:32.829 --> 00:06:35.550
-play? I did not do play -by -play. I was King

00:06:35.550 --> 00:06:38.439
Corndog one day, and I paid for it. The next

00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:42.980
day, like, you think 10 corndogs, 100 tater tots,

00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:45.879
and 10 beers. It sounds really good when you're

00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:49.740
empty stomach. And then you get about probably

00:06:49.740 --> 00:06:51.360
a couple of corndogs in, and then you're just

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:55.339
like. And the way you do it is you have the corndogs,

00:06:55.339 --> 00:06:58.779
the beer, and the tater tots on the back of your

00:06:58.779 --> 00:07:01.199
shirt. And when you finish one, you have somebody

00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.480
else mark on your back how many you've done.

00:07:05.069 --> 00:07:07.370
Do you do a little dipping action, like Joey

00:07:07.370 --> 00:07:11.930
Chestnut? No, there were no sauces involved.

00:07:12.069 --> 00:07:14.689
That's a very good question. There were no sauces

00:07:14.689 --> 00:07:16.009
involved. Well, but it wasn't even sauce, because

00:07:16.009 --> 00:07:19.490
he did it with— Dunking it in water. Yeah, to

00:07:19.490 --> 00:07:22.730
make it so that the bread is easier to eat. See,

00:07:22.829 --> 00:07:24.930
it was like I would—so there were people— Not

00:07:24.930 --> 00:07:28.069
about taste. No, there were people that had strategies

00:07:28.069 --> 00:07:30.509
of, I'm going to get all the tater tots done

00:07:30.509 --> 00:07:34.160
first. Very poor strategy. It ended up being

00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:35.139
that way for a lot of people. You want a bunch

00:07:35.139 --> 00:07:37.639
of carbs? No. I think it took me like three and

00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:39.060
a half hours or something like that. Oh, you

00:07:39.060 --> 00:07:40.620
get a lot of time. Okay. Well, it's unlimited

00:07:40.620 --> 00:07:42.540
time. It's whoever gets there first or when we

00:07:42.540 --> 00:07:46.240
run out of beer, basically. What's the time frame

00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:49.160
looking like for these competitions? No, that's

00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:51.500
the whole thing. It was open -ended. We had an

00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:54.420
Irish band there. It was a whole thing. We had

00:07:54.420 --> 00:07:57.459
basketball on the TV. It was great. It's like

00:07:57.459 --> 00:08:01.139
cricket. It's like full -day test matches. I'm

00:08:01.139 --> 00:08:02.879
not much into cricket, so you've got to help

00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.360
me with this. Are you a cricket aficionado? No,

00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.040
I'm not at all. It's confusing to me. But I do

00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.279
see that they have these – apparently the best

00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.959
way to play it is over a course of multiple days.

00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.620
And they do – I don't know how these games work,

00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.439
but it seems like it's like a series like it

00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:20.800
would be in any other sport like baseball or

00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:22.579
something like that. So I'd have to look it up.

00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.220
But I do know that the purists, they love the

00:08:25.220 --> 00:08:28.240
test matches. That's what they're called. Oh,

00:08:28.339 --> 00:08:30.860
nice. The Danny Justin Radio Program, live on

00:08:30.860 --> 00:08:32.519
Fox Sports, Eugene, Fox Sports, Newport. Thanks

00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:34.539
for hanging in, folks. Yes, we will talk sports,

00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:37.460
although I think we talked competition, so I

00:08:37.460 --> 00:08:40.700
think there's kind of a parallel there with National

00:08:40.700 --> 00:08:43.340
Corndog Day, and so that's coming up. I mean—

00:08:43.340 --> 00:08:45.940
Competitive eating? I think it's— See, not— Is

00:08:45.940 --> 00:08:48.320
it a sport? I don't know. No, I'm not sure. Competitive

00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.899
eating's a sport. Well, do you consider NASCAR

00:08:50.899 --> 00:08:54.279
a sport? It's just taking a left turn, so I don't

00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:56.370
know about that. I'm not sure if I consider NASCAR

00:08:56.370 --> 00:08:59.409
a sport. Maybe we can get a caller to give their

00:08:59.409 --> 00:09:01.529
opinion. Well, maybe, if you want to call up

00:09:01.529 --> 00:09:03.110
the Oregon Man Clinics hotline, if you want to

00:09:03.110 --> 00:09:06.029
defend NASCAR to Baby J, because he's thrown

00:09:06.029 --> 00:09:08.730
down the first gauntlet that says NASCAR is not

00:09:08.730 --> 00:09:10.350
a sport. I just said I'm not sure. No? Okay,

00:09:10.429 --> 00:09:12.190
now you're backtracking a little bit. I believe,

00:09:12.250 --> 00:09:14.769
actually, I said I'm not sure. Okay. If you've

00:09:14.769 --> 00:09:16.909
ever been in one of those cars, the G -forces

00:09:16.909 --> 00:09:20.269
that they go through, they are incredible athletes.

00:09:21.070 --> 00:09:23.789
They are incredible athletes. These guys, just

00:09:23.789 --> 00:09:25.750
like golfers, and people say golf's not a sport,

00:09:25.889 --> 00:09:30.129
but these guys do weight training. They don't

00:09:30.129 --> 00:09:32.289
just sit in a car all day long. Have you ever

00:09:32.289 --> 00:09:35.730
seen a NASCAR driver that is like 280 pounds?

00:09:36.610 --> 00:09:38.490
No. Okay, they do a different type of training,

00:09:38.570 --> 00:09:40.929
though. They train their stomach. Yeah, they

00:09:40.929 --> 00:09:43.879
have to train their core. Yeah. I'm talking about

00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:45.639
the competitive eaters. Oh, the competitive eaters?

00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.960
Yes, they absolutely train. Is it a sport? We

00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:50.320
were debating that. We got Coach Mark, by the

00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.179
way. All right, so Coach Mark's on the Oregon

00:09:52.179 --> 00:09:53.179
Man Clinics hotline. He wants to talk holidays.

00:09:53.299 --> 00:09:55.080
He wants to talk holidays? Yeah. Okay, well,

00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:57.379
we're going to diverge. See, this is what happens

00:09:57.379 --> 00:09:59.799
when we open it up to the inmates is that we

00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:02.179
go all over the place. And let's bring in Coach

00:10:02.179 --> 00:10:04.259
Mark on the Oregon Man Clinics hotline at 541

00:10:04.259 --> 00:10:09.159
-343 -5673. What up, brother? Guys, so I appreciate

00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:12.799
the content so far, and I wanted to know, you're

00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:15.200
talking about Corn Dog Day and all these other

00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:19.000
days. If there was a Danny and Justin day, how

00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:21.139
would you want everybody to celebrate? Because

00:10:21.139 --> 00:10:23.200
we need to have that someday, and I love the

00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:24.899
show. So I just wanted to see that, and I'll

00:10:24.899 --> 00:10:27.480
listen on the air. Okay. I think there would

00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:29.779
need to be, first of all, I think we would need

00:10:29.779 --> 00:10:35.139
to have hats, some kind of hats. There would

00:10:35.139 --> 00:10:37.379
have to be some kind of themed clothing as well,

00:10:37.460 --> 00:10:44.159
I think. So the hatch would be one thing. There

00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:46.600
would have to be some kind of competition. We'd

00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:49.220
have to make up a competition or like a series

00:10:49.220 --> 00:10:52.000
of competitions, like a mini Olympic -type competition

00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.399
that people would have to participate in. You

00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.379
want the Olympic Games? A Danny and Justin Day.

00:10:56.500 --> 00:10:58.940
Like a mini, like something fun. Like a festival.

00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:04.600
Yeah. Do putt -putt or nothing that's too ultra.

00:11:04.899 --> 00:11:08.860
You have to be a certain high skill level type

00:11:08.860 --> 00:11:10.460
of thing. You want it to be family friendly,

00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:12.820
everyone involved. I want to get as many people.

00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:14.240
If we're going to have a celebration of Danny

00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:15.539
and Justin, that's the way I would want it to

00:11:15.539 --> 00:11:17.200
look. There would have to be bubbles involved

00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:19.759
as well. Love bubbles. I feel like there has

00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:23.980
to be something either like Portillo's or Chicago

00:11:23.980 --> 00:11:27.120
food related. Chicago themed food. Yeah. Absolutely.

00:11:28.250 --> 00:11:30.110
Again, it'd have to be tavern pizza instead of

00:11:30.110 --> 00:11:33.409
deep dish. Yes. And Chicago dogs would definitely

00:11:33.409 --> 00:11:37.330
be on the table. That's a good question. We have

00:11:37.330 --> 00:11:39.070
to think about the Danny and Justin day and how

00:11:39.070 --> 00:11:41.629
we'd sell. We could do it on September 9th. That

00:11:41.629 --> 00:11:44.470
was the unveiling of our first show. Two -year

00:11:44.470 --> 00:11:48.009
anniversary? Two -year anniversary show. Hmm.

00:11:48.309 --> 00:11:51.409
Hmm. It's a good idea. Yeah, he's got the wheels

00:11:51.409 --> 00:11:53.450
turning on the Danny and Justin radio program.

00:11:53.549 --> 00:11:57.269
The phone line is open at 541 -343 -5673. That's

00:11:57.269 --> 00:11:58.710
the Oregon Man Clinics hotline. You want to talk

00:11:58.710 --> 00:12:02.169
some sports, let's do that. Always. The Oregon

00:12:02.169 --> 00:12:05.110
women's softball team, after a tough loss against

00:12:05.110 --> 00:12:07.769
Auburn in the Mary Nutter to open up that...

00:12:08.620 --> 00:12:10.899
Tournament in Cathedral City came back with a

00:12:10.899 --> 00:12:13.820
really, really good win against Texas A &M. Number

00:12:13.820 --> 00:12:16.759
11, Texas A &M. A 2 -1 win. Oregon moves to 6

00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.100
-5 on the season after they lost to Auburn 10

00:12:20.100 --> 00:12:24.220
-5. So they won that game against Texas A &M.

00:12:24.220 --> 00:12:27.279
2 -1. Lindsey Grein got the win. Oregon Bats

00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:30.580
came alive enough. And that's the one thing with

00:12:30.580 --> 00:12:34.120
this offense. There's been some opportunities

00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:37.019
left on the cupboard. And I know Melissa Lombardi

00:12:37.019 --> 00:12:38.700
is going to help clean that up. It's really early

00:12:38.700 --> 00:12:41.379
in the season. Number 18, Oregon, used their

00:12:41.379 --> 00:12:44.200
timely hitting, though. And that dominant pitching

00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:46.320
performance as Grind went six and a third innings

00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.480
against the Aggies allowed just one run on five

00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.250
hits. They will take on. coming up today, and

00:12:52.250 --> 00:12:53.429
I think, what did you say, Justin? It starts

00:12:53.429 --> 00:12:55.149
at 4 o 'clock. South Carolina, 3 o 'clock. 3

00:12:55.149 --> 00:12:57.330
o 'clock. South Carolina is number 13, and then

00:12:57.330 --> 00:13:00.090
Cal State Fullerton at 5 p .m., so another back

00:13:00.090 --> 00:13:05.149
-to -back games this weekend for the Ducks. Really

00:13:05.149 --> 00:13:08.409
big win. I think that, you know, we could debate

00:13:08.409 --> 00:13:10.269
whether or not it was a bigger win for Oregon

00:13:10.269 --> 00:13:12.450
softball or Oregon women's basketball, because

00:13:12.450 --> 00:13:14.490
I think those were two huge wins yesterday, and

00:13:14.490 --> 00:13:17.070
for this softball team, I think... maybe a little

00:13:17.070 --> 00:13:19.370
bit of a monkey off your back. They've had these

00:13:19.370 --> 00:13:21.210
close games against these ranked teams. I don't

00:13:21.210 --> 00:13:22.269
know if they think about that. I don't know if

00:13:22.269 --> 00:13:24.350
they go into these games like we do and go, well,

00:13:24.370 --> 00:13:26.429
this is a ranked team. I'm sure that every day

00:13:26.429 --> 00:13:28.070
they're just approaching it like this is another

00:13:28.070 --> 00:13:30.929
game. But there probably is a little bit of them

00:13:30.929 --> 00:13:32.629
and maybe the coaching staff that goes, okay,

00:13:32.669 --> 00:13:34.669
we got one of these nice ranked wins in there.

00:13:34.789 --> 00:13:36.470
That was kind of the goal of this early season

00:13:36.470 --> 00:13:38.929
schedule, right? And it was a murderer's row

00:13:38.929 --> 00:13:41.379
of a schedule. And they played really well. They

00:13:41.379 --> 00:13:43.820
had a previous game. I think there was maybe

00:13:43.820 --> 00:13:45.879
a little bit of a low point of the season so

00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.320
far. You had a big 10 -5 loss against Auburn.

00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:50.600
So it was a nice bounce back. You kind of end

00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:52.659
the day on a high note instead of having that

00:13:52.659 --> 00:13:54.340
loss hang over your head for a day. So Taylor

00:13:54.340 --> 00:13:56.139
Spencer got roughed up a little bit in that first

00:13:56.139 --> 00:13:58.240
game against Auburn in the circle. And then Elise

00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:00.919
Sokolski came in, and she got banged around a

00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:02.580
little bit. But Maddie Millhorn is coming in

00:14:02.580 --> 00:14:04.100
the last couple of games. She's the freshman,

00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:07.059
the kid from Washington. And, man, that kid is

00:14:07.059 --> 00:14:10.600
throwing darts. Yeah, she's got an arm. future

00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:12.799
for Oregon softball because Lindsey's going to

00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:15.480
run out of eligibility after this year. And Elyse.

00:14:15.620 --> 00:14:18.399
And Elyse. So if you've got the next wave of

00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.399
pitchers, there is none better to start with

00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:22.899
than a freshman at Maddie Millhorn who can rocket

00:14:22.899 --> 00:14:26.740
that softball. So we'll keep our eye on that.

00:14:26.820 --> 00:14:29.779
Let's move over to, you mentioned Kelly Graves'

00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:32.679
squad, Oregon women's basketball. Great second

00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:37.139
half comeback. And Ahisa Atute keeps Oregon close.

00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:41.100
Katie Fiso provided the finish. touch, and Janiyah

00:14:41.100 --> 00:14:44.019
Williams gave a much -needed spark off the bench

00:14:44.019 --> 00:14:49.259
as the Ducks win over... Oh, where is I have

00:14:49.259 --> 00:14:53.509
it here? Nebraska. Nebraska. 80 -76 in a tough

00:14:53.509 --> 00:14:56.929
-fought game. Ducks are now 19 -9, 7 -8 in the

00:14:56.929 --> 00:14:59.149
Big Ten. They trail by 11 early in the fourth

00:14:59.149 --> 00:15:01.809
quarter. But Etute, Fiso, and Williams combined

00:15:01.809 --> 00:15:04.870
for 22 of the 28 points in the fourth, and they

00:15:04.870 --> 00:15:07.649
came from behind for the win. It was kind of

00:15:07.649 --> 00:15:10.909
a fugly game, to be frank about it, although

00:15:10.909 --> 00:15:14.110
the Ducks do shoot 50 % from the field, 41 %

00:15:14.110 --> 00:15:16.509
from three. But here's the thing that I think

00:15:16.509 --> 00:15:18.470
Kelly Graves is going to keep looking at. 16

00:15:18.470 --> 00:15:21.399
turnovers. baby jay and i don't think that's

00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:24.840
that is not a kelly graves uh run offense but

00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:27.220
as as he said before they like to get out and

00:15:27.220 --> 00:15:29.120
they like to run and sometimes turnovers will

00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:30.960
happen because you're trying to push the pace

00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:34.279
they do but i think that when it comes down to

00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:36.340
it this is one of those games that think about

00:15:36.340 --> 00:15:38.179
the other direction if they would have lost this

00:15:38.179 --> 00:15:40.019
game it would have felt like such a disappointment

00:15:40.019 --> 00:15:42.960
because it felt like an opportunity for them

00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.000
right you have a couple losses previous couple

00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:47.620
games and you want to bounce back and this would

00:15:47.620 --> 00:15:49.440
have been one of those games that it would have

00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:52.679
felt like, ah, man, like really missed opportunity

00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:54.940
here. But I think that you can kind of flip that

00:15:54.940 --> 00:15:56.580
on the other direction now and go, wow, like

00:15:56.580 --> 00:15:59.480
entering that fourth quarter, they didn't have

00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:01.580
the lead, I don't think, the entire game. I think

00:16:01.580 --> 00:16:03.179
Nebraska controlled it pretty much the entire

00:16:03.179 --> 00:16:05.639
time. It was all Nebraska. And all of a sudden,

00:16:05.659 --> 00:16:09.000
the Ducks, 28 points in the fourth quarter. And

00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:11.080
it's a little Jekyll and Hyde with this team

00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:13.580
sometimes where. You get the good Oregon, and

00:16:13.580 --> 00:16:15.980
they'll have a huge quarter, and at the right

00:16:15.980 --> 00:16:17.539
time, they'll win a game because of it. And then

00:16:17.539 --> 00:16:19.179
there's other times where it feels like they

00:16:19.179 --> 00:16:21.059
get in this funk, and there's just nothing going

00:16:21.059 --> 00:16:24.059
right. That was against Washington. So do I have

00:16:24.059 --> 00:16:26.840
a good feel game to game whether or not I'm going

00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:28.679
to see the good Oregon or the bad Oregon? I would

00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:30.960
say no, but I do think that this is a character

00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.620
win for sure. Well, Nebraska turned it over 15

00:16:33.620 --> 00:16:36.919
times. They only shoot 24 % from three. Oregon

00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:38.720
with that big fourth quarter, as Baby J said,

00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.840
with 13 -point advantage over Nebraska to sneak

00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.320
out with the 80 -76 win for Kelly Graves' squad.

00:16:45.379 --> 00:16:48.059
And again, it was Ahisa Tute with 21 points,

00:16:48.220 --> 00:16:51.720
Fiso with 19, and Williams 5 of 5 from the field,

00:16:51.860 --> 00:16:55.639
2 of 2 from 3, and she had 12 points coming off

00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:57.259
the bench. And that was a big boost. Ducks will

00:16:57.259 --> 00:17:00.769
be... At Indiana, Sunday, 10 a .m., that really

00:17:00.769 --> 00:17:03.309
weird schedule in the Big Ten as they try and

00:17:03.309 --> 00:17:05.269
even their record in Big Ten play. Last note

00:17:05.269 --> 00:17:07.410
about this game, Nebraska also did well shooting

00:17:07.410 --> 00:17:09.990
free throws, but Oregon needed every single one

00:17:09.990 --> 00:17:13.390
almost of their 24 free throws, hit 21 of them,

00:17:13.390 --> 00:17:16.509
88%. That's a good percentage. That'll win you

00:17:16.509 --> 00:17:20.849
games. So PK Park is the site right now as Oregon

00:17:20.849 --> 00:17:23.230
baseball. They started 205 first pitch because

00:17:23.230 --> 00:17:26.069
they're trying to get it in before it gets frigid.

00:17:26.910 --> 00:17:30.710
and breezy and just downright cold. That's going

00:17:30.710 --> 00:17:32.890
to sting the hands if you hit a ball off that

00:17:32.890 --> 00:17:36.369
bat wrong. So they start at 205 instead of 305,

00:17:36.369 --> 00:17:38.470
the single set game against Youngstown State.

00:17:38.789 --> 00:17:42.589
Yesterday it was impressive as Oregon hurlers

00:17:42.589 --> 00:17:45.009
allowed just one run on two hits over five and

00:17:45.009 --> 00:17:48.109
a third innings. And that was Toby Twist, by

00:17:48.109 --> 00:17:51.250
the way, who was the starter. And this kid has

00:17:51.250 --> 00:17:53.670
gutted it out in his career at the University

00:17:53.670 --> 00:17:57.470
of Oregon, oft injured. And he started his career,

00:17:57.509 --> 00:17:59.950
I think, three years ago and hasn't seen a lot

00:17:59.950 --> 00:18:01.450
of action in the last couple of years because

00:18:01.450 --> 00:18:03.569
of those injuries. This was his first start of

00:18:03.569 --> 00:18:05.549
the season, actually, only second game. So, yes,

00:18:05.569 --> 00:18:07.910
it would be his first start. And he was impressive

00:18:07.910 --> 00:18:10.650
in five and a third. Just one run on two hits

00:18:10.650 --> 00:18:12.710
is the only run that Youngstown State got. The

00:18:12.710 --> 00:18:16.019
Bull King came in and shut it out. 18 -1. Non

00:18:16.019 --> 00:18:18.680
-conference victory over the Penguins out of

00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:20.539
Youngstown State. And they do another one today.

00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:24.299
Two on Saturday. Oh, actually, I think it's one

00:18:24.299 --> 00:18:28.200
on Saturday or two on Saturday. It is. No, it

00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:31.940
is one on Saturday, one on Sunday, I believe.

00:18:32.180 --> 00:18:34.240
So there we go. They just started on Thursday.

00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:38.140
Right. So the Ducks are 5 -0 coming out of the

00:18:38.140 --> 00:18:39.599
gate. Youngstown State still looking for their

00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:41.819
first victory. But Youngstown State's got a couple

00:18:41.819 --> 00:18:46.150
of aces. as they've got a couple of players coming

00:18:46.150 --> 00:18:50.509
in that are really tough on the bump. And Oregon's

00:18:50.509 --> 00:18:53.890
going to see one of them today as Braden Gebhardt

00:18:53.890 --> 00:18:59.190
will take the ball. And he held Auburn to just

00:18:59.190 --> 00:19:01.630
a couple of runs. And Auburn's going to be a

00:19:01.630 --> 00:19:03.069
pretty good team. They're number five in the

00:19:03.069 --> 00:19:06.420
country. So Oregon's going to see. Ace 1 and

00:19:06.420 --> 00:19:09.880
Ace 2 on Friday today and then tomorrow on Saturday.

00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:11.700
So let's see how the bats, who have been just

00:19:11.700 --> 00:19:14.700
scorching for Mark Waszkowski's team, can handle

00:19:14.700 --> 00:19:17.200
this against Youngstown State. Yeah, Auburn was

00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:21.339
played very tightly by the... Penguins, as we

00:19:21.339 --> 00:19:24.000
detailed it yesterday. No, it's been a nice start

00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:26.480
for Oregon baseball. You got to have, I think

00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:28.000
that we're still trying to learn how this rotation

00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:30.480
is going to go. I think Kyle Scolari is clearly

00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:32.579
the guy that people are looking at as the number

00:19:32.579 --> 00:19:34.779
one, but you got to have depth, right? And Toby

00:19:34.779 --> 00:19:37.200
Twist, one thing he's got going for him, you

00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:39.220
know that I like some good alliteration. He's

00:19:39.220 --> 00:19:41.359
got some good name alliteration there. So Toby

00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:44.940
Twist. Only four base runners had two hits, one

00:19:44.940 --> 00:19:47.339
walk, and then there was a hit by pitch as well

00:19:47.339 --> 00:19:50.819
in five innings, so not a lot of traffic there.

00:19:50.980 --> 00:19:54.099
I think the debate right now for Oregon baseball

00:19:54.099 --> 00:19:56.519
really should be, okay, yeah, Youngstown State,

00:19:56.660 --> 00:19:59.140
they played pretty well against Auburn, but do

00:19:59.140 --> 00:20:01.319
we really know how good they are? George Mason,

00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:03.619
I'm not sure how good George Mason is. I'm not

00:20:03.619 --> 00:20:04.960
trying to rain on the parade or anything like

00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:07.400
that, but I think that... These are really nice

00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:10.140
victories. You obviously want to win 18 -1 whenever

00:20:10.140 --> 00:20:11.720
you're playing a team like this, but I still

00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:13.519
don't think we really know how good this team

00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:15.740
is yet. The Danny and Justin Radio Program, live

00:20:15.740 --> 00:20:17.440
from the Bigfoot Beverages Studios, the Oregon

00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:19.380
Man Clinics Hotline, open for you. Open phones

00:20:19.380 --> 00:20:22.160
today, no guests. So it's all on you out there

00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:25.400
in Radioland to help us with the program. If

00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:27.700
you want to chime in with a comment, take us

00:20:27.700 --> 00:20:29.380
in a different direction. If you want to talk

00:20:29.380 --> 00:20:31.940
about Oregon women's softball, Oregon women's

00:20:31.940 --> 00:20:34.220
basketball, Oregon men's baseball, Oregon men's

00:20:34.220 --> 00:20:36.119
basketball. If you want to throw... and Oregon

00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:38.460
State into the mix. If you want to talk NIL and

00:20:38.460 --> 00:20:40.700
transfer portal, that's always a topic we can

00:20:40.700 --> 00:20:43.119
talk about. We can also talk about some moves

00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:45.400
in the NFL, but we'll save that for a little

00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:47.839
bit later. By the way, Jack Messamore is the

00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:51.960
other big ace for Youngstown State. He'll be

00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:54.900
on the bump tomorrow. And then a right -hander,

00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:57.420
Brandon Mikos, will be slated to start for Youngstown

00:20:57.420 --> 00:21:02.740
State on Sunday. And this game is the first time

00:21:02.740 --> 00:21:05.170
I think... in a couple of games that the Ducks

00:21:05.170 --> 00:21:07.150
have seen a lefty. So Braden Gephardt is a lefty

00:21:07.150 --> 00:21:09.809
for Youngstown State. So we've got that going

00:21:09.809 --> 00:21:11.329
on. You can still have time to get out there

00:21:11.329 --> 00:21:13.630
to PK Park and support the Ducks. We'll give

00:21:13.630 --> 00:21:16.170
you an update on the score here in a few moments.

00:21:16.309 --> 00:21:18.289
And finally, let's wind up with basketball for

00:21:18.289 --> 00:21:20.549
the University of Oregon. Oregon men are back

00:21:20.549 --> 00:21:24.250
on the road Saturday, USC, 1 p .m. It'll be on

00:21:24.250 --> 00:21:28.089
FS1. USC leads the all -time series 70 -64, including

00:21:28.089 --> 00:21:30.950
a five -point win, a game that if you roll this

00:21:30.950 --> 00:21:33.690
tape back a bit, when Oregon was almost completely

00:21:33.690 --> 00:21:37.450
healthy, the Ducks hung with USC here at Matt

00:21:37.450 --> 00:21:41.730
Knight Arena, and it was an 82 -77 win over Oregon

00:21:41.730 --> 00:21:45.789
by USC. Oregon's 28 -28 against USC under head

00:21:45.789 --> 00:21:48.650
coach Dana Altman. The Ducks, this is amazing

00:21:48.650 --> 00:21:52.220
to me, Justin, as well. The Ducks are 9 -3. at

00:21:52.220 --> 00:21:54.940
the Galen Center under Coach Altman as well.

00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:58.619
So they have a winning record by six games in

00:21:58.619 --> 00:22:01.819
Los Angeles, but this is an Oregon team that

00:22:01.819 --> 00:22:04.759
is literally just trying to get their way to

00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:07.619
the end of the season. I agree. You know it's

00:22:07.619 --> 00:22:10.099
bad because when you said it's amazing, I thought

00:22:10.099 --> 00:22:12.140
you were about to say a stat that... was not

00:22:12.140 --> 00:22:14.960
very amazing that's an amazing stat no it isn't

00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:17.299
that's a very positive stat but just the way

00:22:17.299 --> 00:22:19.119
that oregon season's gone i thought you were

00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:20.900
going to go somewhere negative with it but no

00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:24.140
i mean i think i said this the other day the

00:22:24.140 --> 00:22:25.700
penn state game felt like it was an inevitable

00:22:25.700 --> 00:22:27.980
win that was a team you're playing at home not

00:22:27.980 --> 00:22:30.559
very good but other than that they took a step

00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:32.519
back again against exactly i mean that game was

00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:34.779
brutal Did we get a chance to talk about that

00:22:34.779 --> 00:22:36.740
game? We didn't talk about it too much because

00:22:36.740 --> 00:22:38.299
it happened when I was gone. And I was there.

00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:40.720
I was at the game. There was one highlight, which

00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:43.119
was a dunk. It was the best dunk I've seen in

00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:45.819
person, maybe. It was close. It was on the list.

00:22:45.859 --> 00:22:47.480
Did you almost get thrown out of press row because

00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:48.700
you're not supposed to? Well, I wasn't in press

00:22:48.700 --> 00:22:52.940
row. Okay, good. I literally verbally exclaimed

00:22:52.940 --> 00:22:55.359
when that happened. I was like, whoa, where did

00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:57.500
this come from? But no, other than that. So complete

00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:59.660
your thought, though. It was just a dead arena.

00:23:00.109 --> 00:23:01.849
And there was no excitement, and the diehards

00:23:01.849 --> 00:23:05.170
were there, and it felt like, I think you were

00:23:05.170 --> 00:23:08.009
there too, right, Blaze? Yeah. You talked about

00:23:08.009 --> 00:23:09.690
this on Wednesday. I was sitting in the student

00:23:09.690 --> 00:23:12.210
section right behind the rim, so I saw the back

00:23:12.210 --> 00:23:13.890
angle of the dunk pretty much. And what did you

00:23:13.890 --> 00:23:16.390
think of the dunk? Like Justin said, it was probably

00:23:16.390 --> 00:23:17.970
one of the craziest dunks I've seen in person.

00:23:18.009 --> 00:23:20.549
It really came out of nowhere, honestly. Was

00:23:20.549 --> 00:23:22.089
that a breakaway? Two -on -one breakaway? Yeah,

00:23:22.089 --> 00:23:23.730
I mean, it made sense when it happened. But just

00:23:23.730 --> 00:23:26.490
the energy of the game was so dead the entire

00:23:26.490 --> 00:23:28.809
time. Yeah, that's too bad. It really is. It

00:23:28.809 --> 00:23:31.950
felt weird. It felt wrong. It just didn't feel

00:23:31.950 --> 00:23:35.430
like this is what Oregon basketball is. Fox Sports

00:23:35.430 --> 00:23:37.269
Eugene, Fox Sports Newport, live from the Bigfoot

00:23:37.269 --> 00:23:38.869
Beverages studio. Still have a chance to chime

00:23:38.869 --> 00:23:40.349
in. We're going to do big bets here in about

00:23:40.349 --> 00:23:43.809
15 minutes or so. So we'll do that as well. We'll

00:23:43.809 --> 00:23:45.309
take a break. Let's take a break right now. When

00:23:45.309 --> 00:23:48.289
we come back, we will do a quick segment with

00:23:48.289 --> 00:23:50.910
the Bears, the Chicago Bears. Are they going

00:23:50.910 --> 00:23:53.700
to actually move out of Illinois? Out of Chicago.

00:23:53.700 --> 00:23:56.019
It's going to be the Chicagoland area, but it

00:23:56.019 --> 00:23:58.319
could be an entirely different state. I have

00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:00.579
thoughts. I know you do. Oregon State baseball,

00:24:00.819 --> 00:24:03.539
Oregon State women's basketball, men's basketball

00:24:03.539 --> 00:24:06.619
also on the docket. And also our Olympic update

00:24:06.619 --> 00:24:08.440
coming up right after the break. Danny and Justin.

00:24:11.660 --> 00:24:16.759
We'll give you an Olympic update. Sorry. I couldn't

00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:18.319
hear myself there for a second. We'll give you

00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:21.250
an Olympic update in just a few moments. It's

00:24:21.250 --> 00:24:25.029
the semifinal game, men's hockey. Canada moved

00:24:25.029 --> 00:24:27.609
on. We'll talk about them in a moment. And USA

00:24:27.609 --> 00:24:30.829
and Slovakia are battling in the third period

00:24:30.829 --> 00:24:32.390
right now. We'll talk about that in just a few

00:24:32.390 --> 00:24:35.549
moments. Also, Big Bats coming up in just about

00:24:35.549 --> 00:24:39.289
eight minutes or so. Keep it right around there,

00:24:39.349 --> 00:24:42.650
eight, nine minutes. Let's head up north to Corvallis.

00:24:42.869 --> 00:24:48.049
Oregon State women blasted 24 points in the third

00:24:48.049 --> 00:24:51.190
quarter. Including a 17 -0 run, they pull away

00:24:51.190 --> 00:24:54.890
from Portland for a 10 -point win, 64 -54 against

00:24:54.890 --> 00:24:58.529
the Pilots Thursday night, last night in Gill

00:24:58.529 --> 00:25:01.589
Coliseum. The win now gives Portland a two -game

00:25:01.589 --> 00:25:04.750
lead over, pardon me, gives Oregon State a two

00:25:04.750 --> 00:25:07.349
-game lead over Portland. And they have pretty

00:25:07.349 --> 00:25:09.109
much assured themselves a top -four seed in the

00:25:09.109 --> 00:25:10.849
conference tournament with three games to play.

00:25:11.470 --> 00:25:14.390
OSU's tied now with Santa Clara at 11 -4, just

00:25:14.390 --> 00:25:18.359
a game behind. Co -leaders Gonzaga and LMU, Tiara

00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:21.359
Bolden poured in a career -high 29 points to

00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:23.700
lead Oregon State, making 11 of 20 from the floor.

00:25:24.299 --> 00:25:27.740
Bolden scored 14, the driving force in that dominant

00:25:27.740 --> 00:25:31.220
third quarter. Oregon State returns to action

00:25:31.220 --> 00:25:33.740
on Saturday. They will host longtime conference

00:25:33.740 --> 00:25:37.380
foe Washington State, the Cougs, at 1 p .m. Every

00:25:37.380 --> 00:25:40.460
game is crucial now as they head toward the WCC

00:25:40.460 --> 00:25:43.460
tournament. The men on the other side are fighting

00:25:43.460 --> 00:25:46.230
up. For Oregon State, the Beavers will be on

00:25:46.230 --> 00:25:47.950
the road. Actually, they're at home now. They're

00:25:47.950 --> 00:25:52.069
going to take on Pepperdine on Saturday. That

00:25:52.069 --> 00:25:54.410
will be, I believe, at 1 p .m. Oregon State 7

00:25:54.410 --> 00:25:58.910
-1 against the Waves. 3 -0 in matchups in Gill.

00:25:59.109 --> 00:26:01.549
They went 2 -1 against Pepperdine last season,

00:26:01.589 --> 00:26:04.130
winning both regular season matchups before Pepperdine

00:26:04.130 --> 00:26:06.390
came back and beat OSU in the WCC tournament.

00:26:06.670 --> 00:26:08.869
Oregon State 9 -1 this season when they hold

00:26:08.869 --> 00:26:12.250
an opponent under 70 points. So that's the important

00:26:12.250 --> 00:26:14.609
one there. Want to talk a little baseball, Justin?

00:26:15.190 --> 00:26:17.789
Always. I mean, I just been doing all the talking.

00:26:17.890 --> 00:26:19.369
Spring training started today, by the way. It

00:26:19.369 --> 00:26:21.430
did, and the Cubs, I think, lost to the White

00:26:21.430 --> 00:26:24.109
Sox. They're losing. They're losing, or it's

00:26:24.109 --> 00:26:27.450
still going. It just started at noon, so it's

00:26:27.450 --> 00:26:29.369
probably ending pretty soon. Down there in Arizona.

00:26:29.529 --> 00:26:33.289
Eighth inning. Oregon State men's baseball is

00:26:33.289 --> 00:26:38.950
on the road to take on a nice field in Round

00:26:38.950 --> 00:26:41.759
Rock, Texas. at a little tournament down there.

00:26:41.779 --> 00:26:44.440
They'll face Baylor this afternoon at 4, Southern

00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:48.819
Miss tomorrow at 3. Then they'll back that up

00:26:48.819 --> 00:26:52.539
with an 8 a .m. start on Sunday against Purdue

00:26:52.539 --> 00:26:56.240
and then finish off that tournament. And then

00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:59.579
next Friday they'll be against Houston in Frisco,

00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:01.200
Texas. So I think they're staying down there.

00:27:01.740 --> 00:27:06.339
And that will be on next Friday at noon. Well,

00:27:06.380 --> 00:27:08.609
they better hope. They don't give up three grand

00:27:08.609 --> 00:27:13.150
slams to Tice Armstrong. Kid is just amazing.

00:27:13.549 --> 00:27:15.190
If you haven't seen that already, that's what

00:27:15.190 --> 00:27:18.450
he did, Tice Armstrong, for Baylor earlier last

00:27:18.450 --> 00:27:21.609
week. Okay. Let's do our Olympic update. As the

00:27:21.609 --> 00:27:25.130
Olympics are winding up, it'll finish on Sunday,

00:27:25.170 --> 00:27:27.210
so we'll have one more of these updates on Monday.

00:27:27.289 --> 00:27:32.769
Okay. So I mentioned the men's hockey. Well,

00:27:32.950 --> 00:27:37.259
men's hockey. Canada comes from behind against

00:27:37.259 --> 00:27:40.359
Finland in the semifinal on the men's side to

00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:44.319
win 3 -2 as Nathan McKinnon knocks in the game

00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:46.539
-winning goal with 37 seconds left. So they're

00:27:46.539 --> 00:27:48.740
into the gold medal game. And right now the U

00:27:48.740 --> 00:27:53.259
.S. is cruising against Slovakia, 6 -2, 5 .32

00:27:53.259 --> 00:27:55.720
left in the third. So it looks like it'll be

00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:59.160
U .S. and Canada gold medal game in hockey for

00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:02.299
men's just like it was for the women. And now,

00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:04.140
I'm not a hockey guy, but this would be the two

00:28:04.140 --> 00:28:06.099
favorites to make it to this game, right? I would

00:28:06.099 --> 00:28:09.400
assume. It would. You are correct, sir. Well,

00:28:09.420 --> 00:28:11.319
then it should be an exciting game, as it was

00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:13.359
with the women's. Speaking of Canada and the

00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:16.019
U .S., top -ranked Canada and the United States

00:28:16.019 --> 00:28:19.259
fall, goodness gracious, in the women's open

00:28:19.259 --> 00:28:23.460
curling semifinals. The Canadians, as I said,

00:28:23.460 --> 00:28:26.880
were top -ranked. They could not overcome straighter

00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.180
ice. I have no idea what that means. and a sharp

00:28:30.180 --> 00:28:34.960
Sweden squad. Say that five times fast. And the

00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:37.400
country's controversial men's team will have

00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:39.519
the curling power's last chance at Olympic gold

00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:43.900
of the Cortina Games as the women can't push

00:28:43.900 --> 00:28:45.859
it through. So now the men are still out. You

00:28:45.859 --> 00:28:48.180
know what the controversy is? It's the finger.

00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:53.900
You can't push the curling stone with your finger

00:28:53.900 --> 00:28:57.000
after you've released the handle. And they have

00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:00.660
video. of the Canadians doing that. And there

00:29:00.660 --> 00:29:03.579
was like this huge protest. There were heated

00:29:03.579 --> 00:29:06.019
exchanges. I think everybody went to neutral

00:29:06.019 --> 00:29:09.559
corners. I think it sounds exciting. Speeding

00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:11.279
up heating exchanges, by the way. You got an

00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:13.160
update on Mick Cronin after this update. Okay,

00:29:13.180 --> 00:29:16.220
great. Oh, yeah, I saw that. The mea culpa. American

00:29:16.220 --> 00:29:20.400
freestyle skier Alex Ferreria twirled his pole

00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:22.079
above his head knowing that he'd done the best

00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:24.559
he could to finally become an Olympic gold medalist.

00:29:25.529 --> 00:29:28.109
After his rivals had failed to top his score,

00:29:28.289 --> 00:29:33.710
he celebrated with a half -pipe gold. So there

00:29:33.710 --> 00:29:35.410
you go, another gold. That's right. And Norway

00:29:35.410 --> 00:29:39.269
wins their 17th gold medal, and that sets a Winter

00:29:39.269 --> 00:29:43.750
Olympics record for medals won. With 17 gold,

00:29:43.970 --> 00:29:46.549
they have 37 total. The U .S. is next with 10

00:29:46.549 --> 00:29:49.690
gold, 29 total. Italy, the homestanding Italians,

00:29:50.049 --> 00:29:53.980
9 gold. and 27 total medals. The Olympics, again,

00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:57.019
closing ceremonies will be on Sunday. So there's

00:29:57.019 --> 00:29:59.339
your Olympic update. All right, so let's get

00:29:59.339 --> 00:30:01.500
some Mick Cronin before we talk about Da Bears.

00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:05.619
So Mick Cronin did apologize to his player that

00:30:05.619 --> 00:30:07.619
he ejected and said that he looked at the play,

00:30:07.700 --> 00:30:10.500
saw it was a dirty play, and then once he saw

00:30:10.500 --> 00:30:12.779
the film, he... Change his mind a little bit.

00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:15.099
Didn't see a mention about apologizing to the

00:30:15.099 --> 00:30:17.299
reporter. No, he did. Oh, did he? I thought he

00:30:17.299 --> 00:30:19.420
said that his comments were very candid at times

00:30:19.420 --> 00:30:21.940
and that he didn't need to bring an embarrassment

00:30:21.940 --> 00:30:24.099
for his comments or something like that. It wasn't

00:30:24.099 --> 00:30:27.039
something he wanted to have as a distraction.

00:30:27.819 --> 00:30:29.460
I mean, I guess if you consider that an apology.

00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:32.180
Well, he also was. Did he apologize to the reporter

00:30:32.180 --> 00:30:34.819
like he did the player, though? Not not. Well,

00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:38.400
he like directly. Yes. He lauded the reporters.

00:30:38.500 --> 00:30:41.039
OK. Writing style. And, you know, he says gets

00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:42.880
in the heat of the moment. The typical things

00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:45.500
that I'm sure that there were some people in

00:30:45.500 --> 00:30:48.119
the PR department in Bruin Central that said,

00:30:48.140 --> 00:30:50.579
you got to walk this back. This is not look good.

00:30:51.210 --> 00:30:54.609
And so he did four minutes of his opening of

00:30:54.609 --> 00:30:57.390
his press conference today talking about just

00:30:57.390 --> 00:31:00.180
that without anybody asking him a question. So

00:31:00.180 --> 00:31:01.839
there you go. Did he answer questions afterwards?

00:31:02.099 --> 00:31:08.059
I think he did. Yes, he answered questions. The

00:31:08.059 --> 00:31:09.819
Danny and Justin radio program was your roll

00:31:09.819 --> 00:31:12.180
on. Big bets coming up in a moment. You can get

00:31:12.180 --> 00:31:13.960
ready on the Oregon Man Clinics hotline, but

00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:16.039
I'm not going to open up the phones yet. But

00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:17.799
get the number ready if you want to play against

00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:24.099
us at 541 -343 -5673. Okay, so here's the big

00:31:24.099 --> 00:31:27.279
news if you're a Chicago Bears fan. And I know

00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:29.799
there's some Bear fans out there. Chicago Bears'

00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:33.380
push for a new stadium took a step forward last

00:31:33.380 --> 00:31:36.680
night. But it opens the door for the franchise

00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:42.119
to leave Illinois and build potentially a new

00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:46.059
domed stadium in northwest Indiana. Hammond,

00:31:46.099 --> 00:31:48.980
Indiana is considered like the Chicagoland area.

00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:51.019
So if people don't know geographically— People

00:31:51.019 --> 00:31:53.279
don't get this semester from the area. Is Illinois

00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:56.559
and Indiana butt right up against Lake Michigan

00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:00.890
and— That is all considered like into Indiana

00:32:00.890 --> 00:32:02.769
is still considered like the Chicagoland area.

00:32:02.769 --> 00:32:04.369
There's a reason there's a lot of Notre Dame

00:32:04.369 --> 00:32:08.190
fans in Chicago. Okay. For instance. Yeah, for

00:32:08.190 --> 00:32:12.430
instance. So the Northwest Indiana Stadium Authority

00:32:12.430 --> 00:32:15.309
now has the power to issue bonds, acquire land,

00:32:15.549 --> 00:32:18.789
finance construction. The House Ways and Means

00:32:18.789 --> 00:32:21.289
Committee and Indiana State's legislature passed

00:32:21.289 --> 00:32:24.990
Indiana State Bill 27 by a vote of 24 to nothing.

00:32:25.470 --> 00:32:30.539
Bring that money. to Indiana as they say that

00:32:30.539 --> 00:32:35.119
they want the Bears to come to the Hoosier State.

00:32:35.900 --> 00:32:39.799
I hate this so much. I'm sorry. I'm not even

00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:42.339
a Bears fan. We're Green Bay Packer fans. We

00:32:42.339 --> 00:32:45.019
don't like the Bears. This sucks. Honestly, I

00:32:45.019 --> 00:32:47.079
hope this doesn't happen. I think it would be

00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:50.619
sacrilegious if the Bears were to leave really

00:32:50.619 --> 00:32:52.200
even the Chicago area. I know they're talking

00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:53.940
about taking it out to Arlington Heights, which

00:32:53.940 --> 00:32:56.500
is a suburb of Chicago. And people don't like

00:32:56.500 --> 00:32:57.740
that either. And people don't like that either,

00:32:57.839 --> 00:33:01.180
even though I think that the talk is, hey, places

00:33:01.180 --> 00:33:03.519
like Green Bay, they have Titletown now, and

00:33:03.519 --> 00:33:05.220
they're making it more of an experience. It's

00:33:05.220 --> 00:33:07.140
something you can't really do in the area of

00:33:07.140 --> 00:33:10.660
Chicago where Soldier Field is. And so I kind

00:33:10.660 --> 00:33:12.539
of understand the idea of making it more of an

00:33:12.539 --> 00:33:15.430
experience. Don't take it away from Chicago.

00:33:15.769 --> 00:33:17.109
I mean, what are you going to call them? What

00:33:17.109 --> 00:33:20.650
city is it? Hammond, Indiana. Are you going to

00:33:20.650 --> 00:33:22.650
call them the Chicago Bears of Hammond, Indiana?

00:33:22.869 --> 00:33:29.869
Like the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim? Is that

00:33:29.869 --> 00:33:32.470
the same thing? I don't know. I hate it. I don't

00:33:32.470 --> 00:33:33.890
know. I don't think they would mess around with

00:33:33.890 --> 00:33:35.710
the name. Because they're technically still in

00:33:35.710 --> 00:33:37.089
the Chicagoland area. It would be like if you

00:33:37.089 --> 00:33:40.170
called it Toyota Wrigley Field. Well, that's

00:33:40.170 --> 00:33:42.549
a naming right thing. That's a whole other situation.

00:33:42.869 --> 00:33:46.769
But I think the bigger issue is the tax base

00:33:46.769 --> 00:33:51.269
and people driving another 25 minutes from where

00:33:51.269 --> 00:33:55.049
Soldier Field is to attend a home game. That's

00:33:55.049 --> 00:33:58.029
the other thing, is that would this affect attendance

00:33:58.029 --> 00:34:00.940
in— And I even looked up how big Hammond, Indiana

00:34:00.940 --> 00:34:04.259
is. I don't know much about it. It's huge. If

00:34:04.259 --> 00:34:07.039
it's a burb, it's not more than 200 ,000 people.

00:34:07.539 --> 00:34:09.539
So I've never heard of it before. So we'll keep

00:34:09.539 --> 00:34:11.139
our eyes on that as well. All right, we'll take

00:34:11.139 --> 00:34:13.860
our next break. Come back. Big bets right around

00:34:13.860 --> 00:34:16.820
the corner. By the way, update. Oregon baseball,

00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:23.170
0 -0. They're at the plate with two outs. as

00:34:23.170 --> 00:34:26.449
Angel Laya is at the plate, the fantastic freshman

00:34:26.449 --> 00:34:30.130
with one on against Youngstown State. So when

00:34:30.130 --> 00:34:33.710
we come back, we will give our picks, and then

00:34:33.710 --> 00:34:37.489
you will get to do your picks in Big Bets, presented

00:34:37.489 --> 00:34:39.809

and Justin Radio Program. Hang on. The Danny

00:34:47.309 --> 00:34:50.250

Oregonian, Ryan T. Clark, will join us as he's

00:35:01.250 --> 00:35:03.230
got a lot to talk about because Oregon baseball,

00:35:03.590 --> 00:35:06.070
Oregon women's softball, Oregon men's basketball,

00:35:06.929 --> 00:35:09.929
Oregon women's basketball will all have played

00:35:09.929 --> 00:35:12.409
multiple games by the time we turn around to

00:35:12.409 --> 00:35:16.280
Friday from Monday. Goodness gracious. Did you

00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:19.599
say a front day? Front day. You know, folks,

00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:21.519
these are rented lips. I only have them for another

00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:24.920
15 minutes. Let's play some Big Bats right over.

00:35:25.079 --> 00:35:27.480
These guys think they know sports. You think

00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:29.860
you're better than me? The winners, the losers.

00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:32.500
Let's put their knowledge to the test. Prove

00:35:32.500 --> 00:35:35.820
it. It's time for Big Bats, presented by Coquel

open up the Oregon Man Clinics hotline here in

a tiebreaker of total points on one of the games,

00:35:56.139 --> 00:35:59.639
and if your score beats our best score. And you

00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:01.639
win the tiebreaker if you're in that whole thing.

00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:03.920
You win a two -night stay, $100 on your player's

00:36:03.920 --> 00:36:06.119
card. Got to be 21 or over. Can't use it for

00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:08.559
sports betting. At Coquel Christina Resort. And

00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:12.559
you also get your name into a drawing for a March

00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:15.480
Madness suite for the national championship game.

00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:17.880
You and seven of your closest friends. All the

00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:19.880
food you can eat. And all the non -alcoholic

00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:21.820
beverages you can down. And you get to watch

00:36:21.820 --> 00:36:23.219
the game in the Coquel suite. All right, you

00:36:23.219 --> 00:36:25.119
guys ready to go? Everybody ready? Always ready.

00:36:25.260 --> 00:36:27.340
We got intern Dom back in the studio. Intern

00:36:27.340 --> 00:36:29.409
Blaze. And again, now I... You can see Dom just

00:36:29.409 --> 00:36:31.730
his Oregon hat as he sits up in the chair a little

00:36:31.730 --> 00:36:34.110
bit taller. That's awesome. Laura is going to

00:36:34.110 --> 00:36:36.050
play as well. We got the coin, and now we got

00:36:36.050 --> 00:36:38.869
front office manager Laura picking games as well.

00:36:38.869 --> 00:36:40.630
So everybody's horning it on the action. Here

00:36:40.630 --> 00:36:44.389
we go. North Carolina and Syracuse. And let's

00:36:44.389 --> 00:36:50.929
start with Dom. Syracuse. Syracuse. Baby J. I

00:36:50.929 --> 00:36:53.570
am going to go with North Carolina here. Caleb

00:36:53.570 --> 00:36:56.769
Wilson. These teams both come off of big blowout

00:36:56.769 --> 00:37:00.070
losses. So I kind of like North Carolina a little

00:37:00.070 --> 00:37:02.510
better. By the way, the team that I say last

00:37:02.510 --> 00:37:05.570
is the home team. Okay, so Syracuse is the home

00:37:05.570 --> 00:37:09.170
team. I'm going to go. with Syracuse here. I'm

00:37:09.170 --> 00:37:10.510
going to go with the home team. I always say

00:37:10.510 --> 00:37:12.309
in close games, I always like the home team,

00:37:12.369 --> 00:37:15.010
the home floor advantage. Let's find out. Goose

00:37:15.010 --> 00:37:17.670
is not here, but let's find out what Goose said

00:37:17.670 --> 00:37:20.530
for North Carolina and Syracuse. North Carolina

00:37:20.530 --> 00:37:25.230
at Syracuse. Syracuse coming off of a 40 -point

00:37:25.230 --> 00:37:27.809
loss, 30 -point loss to Duke, heading back home.

00:37:27.889 --> 00:37:30.679
North Carolina also coming off a big upset. Two

00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:33.579
coaches that really need it. Two guys that replaced

00:37:33.579 --> 00:37:35.360
legends. Neither have kind of made their mark

00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:37.519
yet. Give me Hubert Davis and North Carolina

00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:39.780
to win at the Dome. All right, he's wrong. Blaze,

00:37:40.019 --> 00:37:42.019
what do you think? I agreed with everything that

00:37:42.019 --> 00:37:44.860
Goose just said, except his pick. I like the

00:37:44.860 --> 00:37:48.360
Qs. I love that. I think Caleb Wilson being injured

00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:50.849
is going to be detrimental to UNC. I think the

00:37:50.849 --> 00:37:52.050
Cougars will just be able to beat them after

00:37:52.050 --> 00:37:54.889
that loss. By the way, again, the Coyne and Laura

00:37:54.889 --> 00:37:57.110
both pick North Carolina. Next game, Tennessee

00:37:57.110 --> 00:37:59.429
is at Vanderbilt. I will start with this one.

00:37:59.630 --> 00:38:01.570
I picked Tennessee last time, and they messed

00:38:01.570 --> 00:38:03.389
with me. So, again, I'm going with the home team

00:38:03.389 --> 00:38:06.570
here. I'm going to take Vandy. Blaze, you go

00:38:06.570 --> 00:38:09.329
next. Normally, I'd pick Tennessee, but Duke

00:38:09.329 --> 00:38:12.010
Miles is coming back, and he averages 16 points

00:38:12.010 --> 00:38:13.969
for Vanderbilt, and I think that that's just

00:38:13.969 --> 00:38:16.650
going to be huge for Vandy. Give me Vandy. All

00:38:16.650 --> 00:38:20.769
right, Vandy. How about you say, Baby J? I am

00:38:20.769 --> 00:38:23.570
going to do what I did in football season, which

00:38:23.570 --> 00:38:26.409
is go, I think I went with Tennessee. It didn't

00:38:26.409 --> 00:38:28.829
pay off for me in football season. I think it's

00:38:28.829 --> 00:38:30.010
going to pay off for me in basketball season.

00:38:30.269 --> 00:38:32.829
You're going volunteers? Go Vols. Go Vols. And

00:38:32.829 --> 00:38:35.800
what does our friend Goose say? Tennessee at

00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:39.480
Vandy, the in -state rivalry. It's kind of like

00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:41.219
what we did in football. I think I picked Vandy

00:38:41.219 --> 00:38:42.840
there because I thought it was finally a Vandy

00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:44.639
team that's good enough to beat Tennessee, which

00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:47.039
is a rare year. I think especially at home, give

00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:50.239
me Vandy to win the Tennessee Civil War. He agrees

00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:53.559
with me. Coyne says Vandy. Laura says Vandy.

00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:57.219
Dom, you get the last vote. I'm going to go Vanderbilt.

00:38:57.280 --> 00:38:59.400
They lost to Missouri a couple nights ago, and

00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:00.760
it was a close game. They kind of didn't shoot

00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:03.079
well, and it was also on the road. I got Vandy

00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:05.719
with this one. Baby J is on Volunteer Island.

00:39:05.980 --> 00:39:08.199
We have a new island. I like it. All right, as

00:39:08.199 --> 00:39:09.800
he's the only one to take Tennessee. Next game

00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:13.659
is Arizona at Houston. The planet Houston. Coyne

00:39:13.659 --> 00:39:17.179
says Arizona. Front office manager Laura says

00:39:17.179 --> 00:39:20.320
Houston. I will start with this game. And, again,

00:39:20.500 --> 00:39:23.599
Houston messed with me last time, so I'm going

00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:26.400
against them. I will take the road win for the

00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:30.809
Wildcats. Dom, you get to go next. I'm a Texas

00:39:30.809 --> 00:39:33.949
homer from Texas. I've got to go Houston. All

00:39:33.949 --> 00:39:38.170
right. Blaze. I think Houston is in a great bounce

00:39:38.170 --> 00:39:40.909
-back situation. They just lost to Iowa State

00:39:40.909 --> 00:39:43.429
on the road. They're at home playing Arizona.

00:39:43.489 --> 00:39:45.250
Arizona came off a great win. They're riding

00:39:45.250 --> 00:39:49.110
high, and they're riding high, so I think they'll

00:39:49.110 --> 00:39:50.110
fall. So you don't like that. I think they're

00:39:50.110 --> 00:39:51.369
going to fall. I think they're going to fall.

00:39:51.449 --> 00:39:54.369
You know, Icarus, he fell because he flew too

00:39:54.369 --> 00:39:57.159
high. There you go. Houston. All right. That

00:39:57.159 --> 00:39:59.300
was a long way. You just say Houston next time.

00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:01.260
That'd be fine. I like the explanation. Baby

00:40:01.260 --> 00:40:03.739
J. I don't think that Arizona is going to lose

00:40:03.739 --> 00:40:05.260
three out of four games. So you could say they're

00:40:05.260 --> 00:40:06.699
coming off of a high, but they off two games

00:40:06.699 --> 00:40:08.800
before then. I think they know right where they're

00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:10.920
at. So I will take Arizona and the former Pac

00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:13.840
-12. By the way, Baby J and I have not had a

00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:16.539
winning record in any of the games. I'm two and

00:40:16.539 --> 00:40:18.980
three every week. Every week. Two and three.

00:40:19.019 --> 00:40:20.619
Actually, I did have one three and two week.

00:40:20.739 --> 00:40:22.760
So let's hear what Goose had to say. All right.

00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:25.440
Arizona at Houston. I have been on the Arizona

00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:28.539
bandwagon all year long. But Houston, tough place

00:40:28.539 --> 00:40:31.920
to play. Arizona without Koa Pete. Give me the

00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:33.539
Houston Cougars. All right. He takes Houston.

00:40:33.579 --> 00:40:35.739
All right. So let's go to Iowa State at BYU.

00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:39.130
Baby J, start us off. You know, I just think

00:40:39.130 --> 00:40:41.670
A .J. DeVance is too good. And this is a guy,

00:40:41.809 --> 00:40:44.409
he's averaging 25 points a game almost, over

00:40:44.409 --> 00:40:47.309
50 % from the field. I just like him in this

00:40:47.309 --> 00:40:50.010
matchup, so I'm going to go with BYU. BYU. I

00:40:50.010 --> 00:40:53.750
will also, you know, this one's tough. It's a

00:40:53.750 --> 00:40:57.000
tough one. I'm going to go with a road team again

00:40:57.000 --> 00:40:59.260
here. I got to go against the grain a little

00:40:59.260 --> 00:41:02.539
bit. Iowa State, I'm going to take the Cyclones.

00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:06.260
Iowa State for the coin, BYU for Laura. Let's

00:41:06.260 --> 00:41:08.199
go to our interns. Let's start with Dom this

00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:12.420
time. I like Iowa State big. Ooh, I like. So

00:41:12.420 --> 00:41:16.019
last time you picked one with that much confidence,

00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:17.659
we both were on the right side of it. That was

00:41:17.659 --> 00:41:19.940
the upset, North Carolina against Duke. So I

00:41:19.940 --> 00:41:23.500
like that a lot. Blaze. I think Iowa State has

00:41:23.500 --> 00:41:27.869
the chance to blow out BYU. But I like BYU. Give

00:41:27.869 --> 00:41:31.789
me BYU at home. There you go. And much more succinct.

00:41:31.809 --> 00:41:33.690
I like that. Brevity is good. Let's see what

00:41:33.690 --> 00:41:37.440
Goose says. Iowa State at BYU. Iowa State, another

00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:39.760
team I've liked this year, but I think Iowa State

00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:42.920
a better home team than road team. I know BYU,

00:41:43.099 --> 00:41:45.460
another team that's facing some injuries without

00:41:45.460 --> 00:41:48.019
Richie Saunders. I think they make a big stand.

00:41:48.139 --> 00:41:50.039
I think it's a big Devonsa game. Give me BYU

00:41:50.039 --> 00:41:52.460
at home to beat Iowa State. All right, so most

00:41:52.460 --> 00:41:56.179
of the panel says BYU, so it's 4 -3 BYU over

00:41:56.179 --> 00:41:58.980
Iowa State. All right, last game, Michigan and

00:41:58.980 --> 00:42:01.059
Duke. This is our tiebreaker game for total points,

00:42:01.179 --> 00:42:03.579
and let's get Blaze first. Go ahead, bud. I've

00:42:03.579 --> 00:42:05.360
been thinking about this. This game, all season,

00:42:05.579 --> 00:42:08.900
give me Michigan. They have better guards. Duke

00:42:08.900 --> 00:42:10.760
doesn't have good enough guards to win this game.

00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:14.679
Total points. Over -under is 148 .5. Give me

00:42:14.679 --> 00:42:17.639
160. 160. All right, Blaze, you're going to go

00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:19.719
hop on the phones. The Oregon Man Clinics hotline

00:42:19.719 --> 00:42:24.420
is going to be open for you at 541 -343 -5673.

00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:28.840
Once again, 541 -343 -5673. You can hop on the

00:42:28.840 --> 00:42:30.400
phone. We'll get to the phones after we're done

00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:32.869
with this last. pick all right baby jay why don't

00:42:32.869 --> 00:42:35.110
you go next you know this is a tough one and

00:42:35.110 --> 00:42:36.530
i'm glad we got all four of the top teams in

00:42:36.530 --> 00:42:39.030
here by the way but i think just michigan is

00:42:39.030 --> 00:42:41.550
too good um i think they're the best team in

00:42:41.550 --> 00:42:43.090
the country i know they're on the road here i

00:42:43.090 --> 00:42:45.250
will take michigan what's the total points total

00:42:45.250 --> 00:42:48.929
points i will go you said 148 148 and a half

00:42:48.929 --> 00:42:52.449
right i will go with 135 going low again all

00:42:52.449 --> 00:42:54.570
right don what do you think um i've been looking

00:42:54.570 --> 00:42:56.909
at this one it's at duke which means the refs

00:42:56.909 --> 00:42:59.260
are with duke I'm going Michigan, though. I'm

00:42:59.260 --> 00:43:01.179
getting that 5 -5 feeling from Michigan. So,

00:43:01.199 --> 00:43:04.579
Michigan, total points. I'm going to go. I'm

00:43:04.579 --> 00:43:07.659
going to agree with Justin. I'm 138. Going under.

00:43:07.860 --> 00:43:09.900
Close on the Bob Barker. Let's see what Deuce

00:43:09.900 --> 00:43:14.099
has to say. Michigan at Duke. This is a good

00:43:14.099 --> 00:43:16.800
one. I like both these teams as well. I've been.

00:43:17.139 --> 00:43:20.380
Michigan is my favorite for the NCAA championship

00:43:20.380 --> 00:43:22.059
this year. I know it's an easy thing to say when

00:43:22.059 --> 00:43:23.659
they're number one, but just watching them, I

00:43:23.659 --> 00:43:26.159
think their star power is better than most. Boy,

00:43:26.219 --> 00:43:29.179
Cameron's a tough place to play. I think it's

00:43:29.179 --> 00:43:31.760
a close one. Give me John Shire and Duke. Give

00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:34.260
me the Devils at home. All right, he likes Duke,

00:43:34.460 --> 00:43:37.780
and he picked 142. He texted us with his points,

00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:42.000
142 total. So I get the last pick. I'm going

00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:45.460
to go with Michigan here. I think Michigan is

00:43:45.460 --> 00:43:47.300
too strong. They're going to win on the road,

00:43:47.420 --> 00:43:50.559
but I'm going to go a little bit higher with

00:43:50.559 --> 00:43:54.480
the points. I'm going to go 163 on the points.

00:43:54.539 --> 00:43:56.599
Blaze is going to. Kick me here, but I'm going

00:43:56.599 --> 00:44:00.539
to go 163 points. Coyne says Michigan. Laura

00:44:00.539 --> 00:44:04.059
says Duke. Coyne has 149 total points. Laura

00:44:04.059 --> 00:44:06.760
has 162. All right. Head on over to the phones.

00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:10.880
The Oregon Mad Clinic's hotline at 541 -343 -5673.

00:44:11.079 --> 00:44:13.599
Justin, who do we have? We have Steve and Eugene.

00:44:13.860 --> 00:44:17.559
Steve, you ready, buddy? You bet. All right.

00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:20.059
Here we go. Let's race through them. Here we

00:44:20.059 --> 00:44:23.420
go. North Carolina, Syracuse. North Carolina.

00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:28.440
Tennessee, Vanderbilt. Tennessee. You're going

00:44:28.440 --> 00:44:30.619
with Justin on that. There you go. Arizona, Houston.

00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:38.400
Houston. Iowa State is at BYU. Iowa State. Thank

00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:40.320
you for that. Appreciate your vote of support.

00:44:40.679 --> 00:44:43.519
And Michigan is at Duke. That's also the tiebreaker

00:44:43.519 --> 00:44:48.159
game total points. Michigan 159. 159. Buddy,

00:44:48.300 --> 00:44:50.559
we love having you participate in the program.

00:44:50.780 --> 00:44:53.000
Be safe out there. Thank you so much. All right,

00:44:53.039 --> 00:44:56.360
there he goes, the great Steve. And the phone

00:44:56.360 --> 00:45:00.500
line opens up at 541 -343 -5673. So it's pretty

00:45:00.500 --> 00:45:03.659
interesting that a lot of the games are fairly

00:45:03.659 --> 00:45:06.760
split between the panel here. Which I like. And

00:45:06.760 --> 00:45:09.139
the panel has grown now. You realize with the

00:45:09.139 --> 00:45:14.269
coin and now Laura, we have six. The fans don't

00:45:14.269 --> 00:45:16.210
have to worry about playing against the coin,

00:45:16.369 --> 00:45:19.449
okay? But Laura's a part of the crew now. She

00:45:19.449 --> 00:45:21.710
is. So, I mean, she could be the superstar here.

00:45:21.849 --> 00:45:23.349
I'm glad that she's officially in this, too.

00:45:23.489 --> 00:45:25.469
Yeah, she's been asking to come on it, and we

00:45:25.469 --> 00:45:27.710
just ignored her. Yeah, because we're just bad

00:45:27.710 --> 00:45:31.150
people. Well, we try not to be. So, once again,

00:45:31.250 --> 00:45:33.610
the Oregon Man Clears hotline is open for you.

00:45:33.650 --> 00:45:37.449
If you can't get in at 541 -343 -5673, we've

00:45:37.449 --> 00:45:40.230
got, like, three minutes left. We can take picks.

00:45:40.750 --> 00:45:44.480
Go to BiggerBets on Twitter. bigger with a one,

00:45:44.579 --> 00:45:48.519
bigger bets on Twitter. And you can put down

00:45:48.519 --> 00:45:52.059
your picks with the total number of points for

00:45:52.059 --> 00:45:57.760
the Michigan Duke game. And then you can play

00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:00.159
without, you know, coming on the air. If you

00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:01.139
don't want to come on the air, you just want

00:46:01.139 --> 00:46:03.320
to write down your picks and put them on Twitter.

00:46:03.659 --> 00:46:06.500
Perfect. Do that. But you can certainly call

00:46:06.500 --> 00:46:12.800
in at 541 -343 -5673. A couple more minutes.

00:46:13.400 --> 00:46:16.199
On this, by the way, bottom of the third, Youngstown

00:46:16.199 --> 00:46:19.420
State, Oregon still knotted zeros across the

00:46:19.420 --> 00:46:22.800
board right now. Ducks, nobody on with two outs.

00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:26.300
Ryan Cooney is at the bat right now for, well,

00:46:26.360 --> 00:46:28.940
we've got to start the music again. We got a

00:46:28.940 --> 00:46:30.480
caller? Yep, we got Chris from Junction City.

00:46:30.500 --> 00:46:32.820
All right, Chris, you don't have your buddy Steve

00:46:32.820 --> 00:46:36.940
Goose in studio, but I know he's listening, so

00:46:36.940 --> 00:46:39.539
you ready to go? Yeah, I'm actually on my way

00:46:39.539 --> 00:46:41.940
to the Coquille right now for the weekend you

00:46:41.940 --> 00:46:44.300
guys so graciously awarded me with. Beautiful.

00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:47.219
Have a great time at Bet Black. That's all I'm

00:46:47.219 --> 00:46:48.840
going to tell you right now. All right. All right,

00:46:48.840 --> 00:46:51.320
buddy. Here we go. North Carolina, Syracuse.

00:46:51.559 --> 00:46:55.579
North Carolina. Tennessee, Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt.

00:46:56.679 --> 00:47:01.400
Arizona, Houston. Zona. Zona. Iowa State, BYU.

00:47:02.179 --> 00:47:05.019
Iowa State. And then finally, Michigan, Duke.

00:47:05.679 --> 00:47:09.019
We're going to go Michigan and 151 points. 151.

00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:12.019
Travel safe, buddy. Look out for squirrels. All

00:47:12.019 --> 00:47:15.139
right, there he goes. Chris from Junction City.

00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:19.139
Got time for maybe one more. So quickly, if you

00:47:19.139 --> 00:47:20.880
want to get in, I'm going to give you about 15

00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:22.900
seconds, and you're going to have to go fast,

00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:24.639
but we've got time for one more call if you want

00:47:24.639 --> 00:47:26.739
to get in on the Oregon Mannequins hotline at

00:47:26.739 --> 00:47:30.679
541 -343 -5673. So have you watched any of the

00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:33.320
Olympics, guys, at all? I have not watched much

00:47:33.320 --> 00:47:35.219
of the Olympics. I was watching some of the halfpipe

00:47:35.219 --> 00:47:37.679
today before I came into the studio. It's pretty

00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:39.579
cool. Yeah, I've watched a little bit of the

00:47:39.579 --> 00:47:41.360
freestyle skiing with my roommates, of course

00:47:41.360 --> 00:47:43.519
the hockey, but the skiing also is insane. And

00:47:43.519 --> 00:47:45.519
there's a kid from Bend who was participating

00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:47.840
in the halfpipe. He didn't medal. He got knocked

00:47:47.840 --> 00:47:51.039
out in, like, the third round, but it was a kid

00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:52.760
from Bend participating. You know, maybe this

00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:55.599
is just me being an Alaska. I've had enough with

00:47:55.599 --> 00:47:59.920
Alaska and winter. All right, I'm going to count

00:47:59.920 --> 00:48:06.780
it down from 15 here. 15, 14. 10 seconds. Otherwise,

00:48:06.860 --> 00:48:08.300
we can't get you in, guys. We're just going to

00:48:08.300 --> 00:48:12.699
run out of time at the top of the hour. And that'll

00:48:12.699 --> 00:48:14.179
do it. Oh, we got Coach Mark. Okay, hurry up.

00:48:14.199 --> 00:48:16.099
Coach Mark, let's get him in. Mark, you ready?

00:48:18.139 --> 00:48:20.280
Coach Mark, you ready? Yes, sir. All right, go.

00:48:20.380 --> 00:48:23.360
Here we go. North Carolina, Syracuse. Give me

00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:27.059
North Carolina. Tennessee, Vanderbilt. Tennessee.

00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:33.300
Arizona, Houston. Arizona. Iowa State, BYU. Iowa

00:48:33.300 --> 00:48:37.320
State. And finally, Michigan, Duke. Give me Michigan,

00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:40.559
158, and I am earning my nickname, baby. All

00:48:40.559 --> 00:48:42.699
right. There he goes. All right, that'll do it

00:48:42.699 --> 00:48:46.239
for Big Bets. Let's close that off, and let's

00:48:46.239 --> 00:48:48.420
squeeze in Dad Joke right now. Let's go ahead

00:48:48.420 --> 00:48:51.039
and do that. Oh, a joke. I got fired from the

00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:53.079
bank today. A woman asked me to check her balance,

00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:57.769
so I pushed her. Dad jokes. What kind of jewelry

00:48:57.769 --> 00:49:00.429
do rabbits wear? What kind of jewelry do rabbits

00:49:00.429 --> 00:49:07.170
wear? Well, quarter carat gold. Okay. All right.

00:49:07.250 --> 00:49:09.670
That's always a good one. You can just leave

00:49:09.670 --> 00:49:11.469
that up as well. I just play the out music as

00:49:11.469 --> 00:49:13.530
well. All right, kids. Great job. Intern Blaze,

00:49:13.710 --> 00:49:17.050
Intern Dom, Baby J, of course. I'm Doc. Thanks

00:49:17.050 --> 00:49:18.590
for tuning in. God bless. Put a smile on your

00:49:18.590 --> 00:49:20.889
face. Someone else, they deserve it. So do you.

00:49:21.110 --> 00:49:23.050
Have a great weekend, everyone. Peace.
