00:12The doors open at 10 a.m.
00:14There is a USA basketball three-on-three exhibition at like 10.15.
00:21I don't know what that is.
00:23Then Illinois' open practice is at 11 a.m.
00:25UConn's open practice is at noon.
00:27Michigan's is at 1.
00:28There is a Reese's NABC College All-Star Autograph Session, also at 1.
00:35Arizona's open practice is at 2.
00:37And then there's the Reese's College All-Star Game, which includes a bunch of...
00:42Not the Reese's one.
00:44What?
00:45You said Reese's.
00:46Yeah, real Reese's.
00:47No, Reese's peanut butter cup, yes.
00:50They sponsor the NABC College All-Star Game.
00:54But if you're going down there and you want to see Michigan's open practice, it is at 1 p.m.
01:00for fans heading down to Indy.
01:02That is Friday afternoon.
01:03And it's free.
01:05So, 248-539-9797.
01:08Let's get back to your open line calls.
01:10We go to Venturi in Southfield.
01:12What's up, Venturi?
01:13How you doing, guys?
01:15We're good.
01:15Love your show.
01:16Love you guys.
01:17Appreciate it.
01:17Hey, yesterday I'm looking at the game, Duke, and I'm like, okay, they're down 15.
01:24I'm saying, okay, at the half.
01:26And I'm like, it's going to take some divine help because the rest ain't helping us.
01:31Okay, so second half, Duke can't hit a shot.
01:37I'm like, what's going on?
01:38I'm watching this comeback.
01:40And at, like, a minute and a half, I'm saying to myself, it's going to take a last basket shot,
01:45a last shot, last second shot.
01:47You saw it coming.
01:48I saw it coming.
01:50And when they lost, I laughed.
01:53I jumped and I said, thank you, Daddy.
01:56Thank you, thank you, thank you.
01:58Because, you know, last second shot on the Fab Five, man.
02:01I'm from here.
02:02I grew up here.
02:03I'm born here.
02:04I done seen it.
02:06So, you know, I have no sympathy.
02:10I don't care.
02:11I don't like Duke.
02:12Venturi, I'm not sure the Fab Five ever lost to Duke on a last second shot.
02:17Michigan had a last second three-pointer to tie the game against Chrysler, and then they got blown out in
02:23the national championship game.
02:25Christian Laettner.
02:27That wasn't against the Fab Five.
02:29Oh, it wasn't?
02:30No, that was against Kentucky.
02:31Now, you can make the case that that might have cost the Fab Five a natty because Duke went on
02:37to beat Michigan in the national championship game after the Laettner shot.
02:41But, I mean, you never assume you're going to win whoever you're playing against.
02:44But at the end of the day, yeah, that was against Kentucky.
02:48That's all right.
02:49That's all right.
02:50Love you guys, man.
02:52Appreciate it.
02:52But it was a joy.
02:55Yeah, I don't find this group of Duke players to be as hateable as some of the ones in the
02:59past.
03:00How good was Jamal Mashburn in college?
03:02He was so good.
03:03He was one of the first players that I remember thinking, that guy can do everything.
03:06And there were ones before that.
03:08Maybe I was coming of age a little bit when it came to watching the college game.
03:12What a college player.
03:14He was unbelievable.
03:16And when Michigan beat that Kentucky team with him and Dent and who else was on that Kentucky team in
03:2494?
03:25Was it 93 or 94?
03:27Couldn't believe it.
03:28They were so good.
03:29And they were also in Hoop Dreams together.
03:32There was that scene of the AAU camps following those kids in the documentary.
03:37And you could see, I think, Juwan Howard and Jamal Mashburn were part of that.
03:41Really?
03:41I don't remember their appearance.
03:42Oh, yeah.
03:43Yeah.
03:44Jamal Mashburn, Travis Ford, Roderick Rhodes, Rodney Dent, Dale Brown, and Jeff Brasso.
03:50That's a core.
03:51Let's go to Blake in Goodrich.
03:52You're next.
03:53What's up, Blake?
03:54Thanks.
03:55How are we doing, gentlemen?
03:56We're good.
03:57How are we doing on this warm Monday?
03:58Well, it's a nice day.
03:59It's beautiful.
04:00For now.
04:01Yeah.
04:02So, first-time caller.
04:04I drive a lot for work and really enjoy listening to you guys make my travels a lot easier.
04:09I do appreciate that.
04:10But, first of all, my champ is Michigan Athletics, men's and women's basketball, and the hockey
04:16team.
04:16It's all fantastic.
04:17So, it's great to see.
04:19The chump.
04:21Doug, I think you, hopefully you can relate to me.
04:23So, I'm a beer league hockey player, a Sunday warrior.
04:26Yep.
04:26And, last night, we're playing a team.
04:29They only have seven guys.
04:31Somehow, we're still in a tight battle.
04:33It's 3-2, minute 30 left.
04:35And, I completely miss the guy breaking out towards center ice.
04:39He goes in on a breakaway and ties the game with a minute 30 left.
04:42So, I'm going to chump myself.
04:44Then, we go to three-on-three overtime.
04:46And, my buddy, as he wins the face-off, he collects the puck and says, man, I hope he
04:51doesn't do something stupid.
04:53And, as soon as I say stupid, he toe-picks, face-plants, and then the other team goes in
04:58on a three-on-one and scores.
05:01So, you lost to a shorthanded team you never should have lost to, huh?
05:05Oh, yeah.
05:06It was brutal.
05:07And, again, I'm one of the chumps because I let him tie the game.
05:10It was clearly my guy.
05:11He broke behind me.
05:12Never saw him.
05:13And, then, I couldn't believe it.
05:14My buddy, his name's Brandon, just toe-picks, lost it, and the other team went three-on-one.
05:20You know what, Blake?
05:21Why go halfway?
05:22What's Brandon's last name?
05:24Oh, I'll throw him out there.
05:26His name's Brandon Hagenboo.
05:28Hagenboo.
05:28Hey, Blake, let me tell you something.
05:31I thought the Red Wings were making a strong play for Chump at a Weekend, but Hagenboo
05:35and you are in the running.
05:39Doug understands.
05:39I can't wait to grab a clip of this and send it to the team.
05:43It's going to get a rise out of everyone.
05:45That damn Hagenboo.
05:48I know.
05:48Thanks.
05:50Hagenboo.
05:51How many times have you been caught where you end up giving up an odd man rush?
05:55I'm terrible.
05:57But you get out there.
05:58That's good for you.
05:59I mean, you know, it's good exercise and all that, and I think there was a time when I
06:01first started playing, I was like, I'm going to get better and better and be able to skate
06:05with some of these guys.
06:06It's not happening.
06:07It's not happening at the pace that I thought it might.
06:10You're not getting any younger.
06:12No, but I might still get better.
06:16Daryl, you're next.
06:17Playing once every week-ish.
06:19Probably not going to make you better.
06:21What's up, Daryl?
06:22What's going on, fellas?
06:24How are we doing?
06:25I'm good.
06:26I'm good.
06:27Champion Chump.
06:28I got a champ, the U of M program.
06:31The girls and the boys, the hockey team.
06:34And I got a champ, Duke.
06:36And the team.
06:38And the coach.
06:39Because, look, they had that lead.
06:41Coach should have did what he needed to do.
06:43He didn't.
06:44So, yeah, that's my champion Chump.
06:46It was an unbelievable result.
06:50And hard to imagine how you get over that.
06:54You know what I mean?
06:56Exactly.
06:56There's been some bad stuff.
06:58Nebraska only having four guys on the floor at the end of the Iowa game in a critical moment.
07:03That's a tough one to get over.
07:04But this is bigger because they were winning.
07:08And they had to do the most.
07:09They had to do.
07:1019-point lead.
07:11Come on.
07:12You're not supposed to lose that lead.
07:14And the pros, yeah.
07:15Two seconds left or 10 seconds left, Daryl.
07:18You have the most simple of tasks, which is stand there and get fouled.
07:22Now, making free throws isn't easy.
07:24But the kid who turned it over is over an 80% free throw shooter.
07:28Now, he's going to take it on the chin because he made the bad pass.
07:33But if the team, like you said to the earlier caller, the team should come and embrace him
07:40and say, look here, you didn't lose it.
07:42We lost it because we had a 19-point lead.
07:44And let's look at the coaches.
07:46Hey, sit there in half court and get fouled.
07:50You got 10 seconds to get it across the big court line.
07:53And you're not just sit there.
07:55So, that's my chunk.
07:58Daryl, thank you.
07:592-4-8-5-3-9-97-97.
08:02Yep.
08:05Yep.
08:05Yep.
08:07Yep.
08:08But it was Duke, so some people are celebrating it today.
08:11Oh.
08:12You're being one of them.
08:13You want to lean into it?
08:14Lean into it.
08:15Look, my team's out, right?
08:17We didn't have the chance to match everybody.
08:18Yeah, you want everybody to lose.
08:19Right?
08:19So, I want everyone to lose.
08:20But you always want Duke to lose.
08:23I mean, I had Duke winning the whole thing.
08:25And I still wanted Duke to lose.
08:27Yep.
08:28Because Duke is Duke.
08:31Maybe they're not so much Duke is Duke anymore.
08:34Well, to me, they aren't.
08:35Okay?
08:36Because I can't find anybody on that team that I can't stand.
08:43Give it time.
08:44Just give it time.
08:45Let it marinate.
08:46Let it marinate, man.
08:48See, watch more commercials with the Boozer Brothers and see if that doesn't, you know,
08:52spark something there.
08:53Yep.
08:54And I mean, look, on the grand scheme of life, well-adjusted person who's got a strong support
09:01system will probably be fine, right?
09:04Watch what happens when, you know, the rest of the national media starts to apologize for
09:08Duke's shortcomings.
09:10And then you're going to get the sympathy card being played constantly.
09:13And then, you know, come back to me and let me know how you feel about this.
09:17Thank you for the phone call and thank you for the votes.
09:19Champ and chump on the weekend.
09:20Get them in.
09:21Rob Wood said something interesting over the weekend.
09:25And see how the fans feel about it as it pertains to the edge rusher opposite of Hutch.
09:30And, of course, he is walking away from his role as president of the Detroit Lions.
09:34But provide some insight on what the organization is thinking.
09:37We'll get to that today at 120 on 97.1.
