00:00
But college basketball, I think, you know, I'm not opposed to an expansion of the tournament,
00:06
Scott.
00:07
The fact of the matter is, bro, like, we haven't changed in a while.
00:12
And there are so many teams right now.
00:14
I mean, there's like 342 teams or whatever there is now.
00:19
There's like, it should be about the percentage like some good it used to be like, whatever,
00:23
dude.
00:24
Like you said earlier, Scott, if you're 19 and 12, like you really have a case, I get
00:27
it.
00:28
Right.
00:29
But now there really are some teams that, you know, are like, you know, 22 win teams,
00:34
23 win teams.
00:35
It could be on the outside looking in this year.
00:38
And the SEC is just going to take so many automatic bids.
00:41
I mean, they're just going to, you know, they're going to have like, what, 12, 13 teams, 13.
00:47
So 13 teams from one conference, guys, think about that.
00:51
So you go from 68 all the way down to 55 suddenly, let's throw in the big 10, suddenly you're
00:56
at 45.
00:58
Yeah, like you, I think you do need to expand it, truth be told, you know, what's what's
01:04
bizarre is, and I'm just going to throw this out to you is that like, I mean, I brought
01:09
it up to de Corsi, and he he's vehemently against it.
01:15
He and he just absolutely.
01:16
And he also you agree with me.
01:18
Do you think it should be expanded?
01:20
I don't have a problem with anything.
01:21
The more basketball, the better.
01:23
Like, as I my team isn't man enough to get into the tournament.
01:28
I mean, I got I'm really just like, I watched this guy follow today, he should be playing
01:33
with me in the morning, like he missed so many bunnies, and they missed so many layups
01:37
and shots.
01:38
And like, every time they shoot the ball, it's just shankopotamus.
01:43
They just are.
01:44
They're just awful.
01:45
So watching my team not, you know, get in or screw this up or not get a bid, whatever
01:50
it's going to be, it's torture, they're going to be sitting there Sunday chewing their fingers.
01:54
I guarantee you that there's gonna be any phone call early that they're getting in that
01:58
they don't have to worry about it.
01:59
They're in big trouble, mister.
02:01
But I think, you know, he said he's vehemently against the the college football expansion.
02:07
And I said to him, well, that's expanding whether you like it or not.
02:11
And then with this, he just said it would be so watered down, basically, in essence,
02:18
the mafia was listening, Mike was listening, that it would just water it down.
02:22
He said, it's already they play, you know, these games on Tuesday and Wednesday and Dayton.
02:27
What's next?
02:28
Games on Sunday night and Monday.
02:30
You know what, though?
02:31
Ultimately, there's only a few teams really have a chance of winning a championship.
02:35
Like you said, Scott, you know, it was at the end of the world that the Sooners made
02:39
it and the Texas Longhorns made the tournament as well.
02:43
It's just about percentage, guys, right?
02:45
It used to be there used to be 100 teams, 105 teams.
02:48
I mean, like you look at the actual math and the math isn't adding up right now.
02:54
You have so many division one basketball teams.
02:57
I think the number was 18 percent.
02:59
And I'm pretty sure that's what it was.
03:00
I didn't come prepared for this argument.
03:02
Oh, you know what?
03:03
The percentages.
03:04
But I believe it's like 18 percent.
03:06
And it's hard.
03:07
It's just do you think that conferences like the SEC and the Big Ten, Big 12 should have
03:15
13 and 12 teams in the tournament?
03:19
No, you know what?
03:21
And this is the old debate.
03:22
And I'm on the side like, you know, you and I talked about a team like the San Francisco
03:25
Dons earlier, Scott, you were talking about, they're not going to let both of them in after
03:29
Gonzaga won it.
03:30
No, exactly.
03:31
San Francisco, you're a 24 win team.
03:34
They're a good team, Scott.
03:35
And then like, you know, like you're Indiana or like the Georgia Bulldogs or the Sooners.
03:39
Wow.
03:40
You know, they're in a tougher conference.
03:42
You know, they're not going to do anything once they get into the tournament.
03:46
And it's right.
03:47
It is lose.
03:48
I said, he said, well, they might play in Dayton.
03:51
I go, don't lose that game.
03:52
So I think my I think my team Mafia was on it.
03:57
I think we could have beaten Indiana.
03:59
Just go to 72.
04:00
I'm not saying get crazy.
04:02
Let's go to.
04:03
Dude, there's something I want to go to.
04:04
Ninety six.
04:05
It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
04:06
Let's slow down.
04:07
Ninety six.
04:09
I'm of the seventy two, like seventy six little bunch.
04:12
Let's go.
04:13
Seventy two.
