00:03:37
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So that was it. Basketball. So that is that is a exercise in sleep or a big part of weight management. Like sleep is one of the most critical. And water is one of most critical components.

00:05:34
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
and ah And by the time Saturday afternoon rolled around, like halfway through the games, I kind of didn't give shit anymore. know i get burned out on it a little bit. I literally i was like... I really don't care who wins this game. Right.
00:05:46
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And so I think we maybe watched a movie Saturday yeah or a Saturday afternoon. Um, Saturday night went out with some friends we hadn't seen in a long time.
00:05:58
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Um, Our daughters used to be besties through high school, and we used to do cheer competitions together and hang out with these people. went Spring breaks, fall breaks. We used to do all kinds of stuff with with them, and he hits me up Saturday morning, some cryptic text like, hey, what's up?
00:06:19
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
The rooster flies at midnight. The chickens run at midnight. It was where it was to the point where – out of the barn. Cock's out of the barn. We had we had texted back and forth three or four times.
00:06:29
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I still didn't know if Nancy – I didn't know if his wife was going. And I told Nancy, the current wife, I was like, I don't know if you're a biter or not. I think it's just – I think – like me, him, and her, babe. You're staying whole.
00:06:43
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
No. I didn't think either of the wives were going. If you listen to the fucking story. I'm just kidding. That might give me direction for joke of the week, though. I think that it's just me and him going out for beers. And so we're sitting there with all these theories.
00:06:57
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
We're like, well, shit. Maybe maybe oh yeah maybe he's got someone telling me. Maybe they get divorce. Maybe this. Maybe that. Maybe this. And we came up all these sayings. And finally, and so we come up with a ah place to meet.
00:07:09
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
goes and us man And he finally goes, yeah, it's just going to be me and Terry. So, ah yeah, just the two of us. And so, yeah. no okay Nobody else. No kids. no We're like, oh, okay.
00:07:20
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah, we wasted that. So then I get a divorce. So anyway, it was kind of funny because we literally had about four different scenarios. And he's like, no, it's just going to be us two.
00:07:31
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And if you and A, that's four, and I was like, oh shit okay. oh So we told them at dinner like later that. Oh, that's funny. Like, hey, yeah hey so, ah John, you sent a really cryptic text. I was like, I couldn't figure out for like four texts if –
00:07:50
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
the wives were going to bite it or not like i didn't know what was going on he goes and they're like uh he's really bad at oh i know this guy so anyway john and terry yeah yeah so isn't that the in that's the problem isn't that the problem with texting though it is because you don't get inflection you don't get here you and nance are for a couple hours yeah beating your heads oh yeah man, there's something going on here. Blah, blah, blah. We had all kinds of theories. We had all kinds of theories.

So anyhow, yeah, that's... Now it's time for the Never Bucker Party Show. This weekend. It's time. 1886. When? Not too long ago. 1986. 18. Oh, 18. I thought I said 19.
00:14:20
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts

00:14:34
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
is invented. john John Pemberton, and not that John Pemberton, for those of you playing at home. Cocaine. ah Wounded. He was wounded during the American Civil War.
00:14:45
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Got addicted to morphine. was searching for a painkiller that ah could help him wean himself off of the morphine, began experimenting with coca leaves and wine, ah found cola nuts.
00:15:03
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Didn't even know there was such a thing. ka They're next to D's nuts in the grocery store. ah So cola nuts apparently contain caffeine, cocaine, and wine.
00:15:16
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I don't know how they can... where Where are these things? I mean, if they contain all that shit... Maybe that's why squirrels like nuts. Give me some. Yeah. um yeah So created... ah so Pemberton's French Wine Coca.
00:15:32
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
It's what is what is what he it started It's what the drink was called, yeah, which eventually became the drink that we all know and love today. That's Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola. Which actually had cocaine in it. Apparently. When they originally started it. Yep.
00:15:45
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So there you go This was initially 1984.
00:15:48
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Baltimore courts Colts moved to Indianapolis in the middle of night. Oh, wow. This week? This week in history, Jeff. It's this week in history. ah yeah Wow. Team owner Robert Ursa kept threatening the city of Baltimore that he would move the team if they didn't build him a new stadium.
00:16:05
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
ah Well, wouldn't you know it? Indianapolis in 1982 built the Hoosier Dome, hoping to bring an NFL team to the city. ah So Ursa's threat actually became reality.
00:16:17
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I thought they originally built that for a baseball team. is There was going to be the Indianapolis arrows. I thought that's why they built the RCA dome. At least that's what interesting I was seven, 15 years I don't think I've heard that went down.
00:16:30
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah. But I thought that they were going to originally have the Indianapolis arrows in there. And then next thing we know, you know You knew as a sports fan that shit wasn't going good in Baltimore. We woke up one morning and the Colts were here. And the Mayflower were here. The Mayflower were crossing the eastern seaboard. Yep. There you go. Greatest thing to ever happen to Indy.
00:16:50
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Hell yeah. Well, sure. This is good issue. 1989, the Exxon Valdez oil spill. What were going with? I don't know. Oh, okay.
00:17:00
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
um You're going to make a joke? No. Oh, okay. Well, you have a thought then. and Prince William Sound, Alaska, almost 11 million gallons of oil, 11,000 square miles of ocean were affected, and 1,300 miles of coastline. In Tom's favor, state Alaska.
00:17:19
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Do you have that captain's name that was... if I do not. Yeah. I did not. It's a household. It's a household. I remember distinctly... I would know it if I heard it. Yeah, yeah. Absolutely, yeah. Captain Seaman. Yeah.
00:17:32
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
No, that's not it. He's the captain now. He's the captain. your captain now. And that's his again. but but Tom is looking up the captain's name. The seaman's name.
00:17:47
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Hold on. What was the name of the boat again? The Valdez. Valdez. Valdez. It was parked right next to the Valcola nuts.

There it is. oh Oh, there it is. Billy Smith. Stun. So anyway. Oh, yeah. Go ahead. No, talk about yourselves.
00:18:09
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts

00:18:23
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah, it was. no i'm I'm not saying this side that it's not. I just thought it had been a yeah something that would ring better in my memory than that, but. Yeah, are we going to talk about the yeah tournament a little bit?
00:18:34
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Joseph Hazelwood. Yeah, let's start there. yep He looks weird. Joseph Jeffrey Hazelwood. We'll Google ourselves. so How do you spell it? How do you spell Jeffrey? Hazelwood? Jingle with E. J-E-R-Y-R-E-Y. J-E-F-F-R-E-Y.
00:18:48
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah. Anyhow, so we want to talk about the tournament a little bit before that. Googling ourselves might not take very long. Oh, it could be fun, though. um Anyhow. It could be. Or it could suck. I didn't know. there I know you were in porn. I don't think you're going to find a lot of shit on me. You might be surprised. Anyhow. Oh, you've pre-googled that. I did not. That kind sounds like you did, Tom.
00:19:08
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
You said you'd be surprised. I said you might. pre-googled yourself, you'd sleep better. Yeah. I tried to four times. said you I said you might be surprised. Anyhow, um so Jeff took ah extra time off work to watch basketball. Link watched some basketball until got sick of it. Brett, very little. And I watched like half of two games over the weekend. So um I know. i just I'll tell you at some point that will shock you about the basketball I watched this weekend.
00:19:36
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
like Okay. I'll save that. Okay. All right. So are the – That's what – in the business, I think we call it the T's. What are the –
00:19:44
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
You're correct. yeah um Oh, well, thank you for the validation. Okay, okay I'll tell you now.
00:19:56
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
It's been long enough. So what are your big takeaways from the weekend? ah None of the ah no upsets. You know, there was one buzzer beater on Sunday no that Maryland won that game.
00:20:07
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
um Everything was, as they say in the gambling world, chalk, cha chalk, chalk. ah Nobody knows that term, by the way. But and the ga world they do ah the the ratings came out. The McNeese-Clemson game was an upset. That is true.
00:20:23
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Because it was an ass-kicking. But it was 10. It's 12. It's Was it 12-5? Yep. Because there's always a 12 beats a 5. Yeah. But on the on the first level yeah on the on the first two days, there was that was the worst or lowest ranked team to be was a 5. Mm-hmm.
00:20:40
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
yeah And then on Saturday... They didn't smack though, right? Yeah, they handled them fairly well.
00:20:48
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah, so then um you you go into Saturday, Sunday. It was pretty much... As expected. Kind of as expected. Yeah. But they did say the rat TV ratings came out. It was the most watched NCAA tournament since 1993. Why that? I wonder what's driving that.
00:21:10
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
what what do you what What's the reason? do you know? They got a new person in the stats department who put something up. I'm using a new formula here. i yeah you just i just Maybe because there weren't upsets.
00:21:23
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I mean, you look at the teams that are coming here to Indy. I don't think that's why you watch it, to catch the upset. That's why most people watch it, to see a 14-meter three or a 15-meter two. That's the excitement. Sure. yeah So you look at this weekend, the teams that are coming here in this regional in Indianapolis. We've got Kentucky.
00:21:42
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Tennessee, Purdue, and hous Houston. It'll be packed. Oh, hell yeah. Tennessee travels, Kentucky travels, obviously. Purdue's an hour up the road. I still have an Airbnb available this weekend.
00:21:53
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Do you really? do yeah I do. That's surprising. With the high school basketball state finals going on on Saturday down there, Friday, Sunday, the andc that that surprises me.
00:22:04
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Isn't there a Pacer game this weekend, too? Tonight. The Lakers playing. Oh, yeah, the Lakers tonight. Yep, yep. So, yeah, that is surprising. That is surprising. Surprising. Surprise.
00:22:15
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Anyhow, so. Were any of those games, several of those were not really competitive, right? Most of them were close. Yeah. Most of them were close. Yep.
00:22:26
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Are you questioning my beer choice, Link? I am, yeah. Oh, I just... He doesn't like that. ying He buried... No, I'm okay with that. He buried the Coors Lights. Oh, can't get to him?
00:22:37
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
No, we're out. Oh. Actually. Are we really? Yeah. Goddamn, I screwed that up. I'm sorry. That's all Anyhow, Link, did you have any big takeaways from the little bit of basketball you watched over the years? No, just got... I mean, buzzer beater, no buzzer beater, upsets, whatever. Honestly, I got just tired of watching basketball. Right. I didn't care.
00:22:57
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
so What I would generally do is just watch the scores. they go Okay, which which game is the closest? Oh, that's a four-point game. All right, I'm flipping over that one watching that one. right Because the one I'm on now is like 11 points or 15 points or whatever. right So I just tried to watch the closest games.
00:23:15
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
There were a couple them that were kind of exciting to watch at the end. But like so i mean when you sit and watch from noon until 1230, thirty at night two days in a row days in a row you're gonna have trouble sleeping my saturday yeah you're not gonna get a good night's sleep at all by saturday at two o'clock you're just like i don't give a shit anymore right i just didn't i just didn't care so we watched very little of it sunday right um yeah in fact watch some some movies maybe some big bang theory or something right i we just didn't care anymore by that point you know i have found in talking to people there there is no like in between yeah i watched some games it's either
00:23:55
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
You're invested or you are don't really care. Or or you can take it or leave it, right? there's no why in between There's no halfway. And I find that weird ah a little bit. I think people care when there's that underdog story. Right.
00:24:10
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And since that's not there. Yeah. So, you like, you don't see the underdog story coming because that happens on day one. Day one, yeah. but you will watch them play the next game oh yeah on either Saturday or Sunday. And get their ass waxed by 30 by just to see the number two team right yeah no Anyhow, so during ah the weekend, or actually yesterday, I think it was, Jeff um pointed out that a team in the Sweet 16 has a kid going in michigan the the transfer portal.
College Sports: Transfer Portal & NIL Impact
00:24:44
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So we had some conversation around that, and that, I think, is a whole other part of all of this and the fact that kids can go in there at any point in time and just throw their name in the transfer portal. Well, once that opens up. Once it opens up. So the portal opened up, and the portal means a kid that's playing for IU now can go – Into the portal and go find his most money, find find where you know he wants to play, whatever. Say that he's available. He's available. Correct.
00:25:13
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
To play at another school. To be paid to go play. Gotcha. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So on Monday, it opened up. 750 kids went into it. NCAA Division I kids went into it.
00:25:25
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
As of today, there were 1,200 kids into it. Insight. It's nuts. So it coincides with the school There can't be more than that. 3,000 D1 basketball players.
00:25:37
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
i don't I don't know how many teams are. And there's only like 200 schools, right? got twelve You got 12, probably 12 players per team. I'd say 12. Yeah, 12 would probably be a good average.
00:25:49
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Wow. So do the math on that. yeah That's like for five hours you can't sleep. My brain hurts. I don't know. So that means 60, 70%. That's unreal. It's nuts.
00:26:00
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
It's absolutely nuts. Yeah, and i don't i I don't know that I blame the kids. i don't necessarily blame the kids. It's not their fault. No, it isn't. But I do blame the NCAA for yep close the thing down.
00:26:14
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Wait till the tournament's over. You know, there's you're not going to lose any time in two weeks. Right. Because nothing's going to happen until summer. Yep. So why is it open during the tourney? That's a distraction that that's 100 percent of distraction. And.
00:26:28
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
On top of it, I don't blame the kids, but to a certain degree, i I think you can blame coaches a little bit, you know, and how their programs work. And it's all different now. So everything everything changes because of this whole transfer portal with no rules, no no guidance, no guidelines, no no anything. and And we've talked about this before on the show.
00:26:52
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
There is no... dedication to a program anymore the whole dedication is to the dollar yep and that's just and it's gonna hurt so it's just like professional sports yeah professional sports ah then they used to have a favorite player and they would play for the same damn team for 12 15 years don yeah don't buy a jersey get you know don't my your less yeah you know your team was yeah and now two three years later they've moved on yeah because the money's better at somewhere else correct And I think eventually that will come, Linko, to the NCAA basketball where, okay, Brett's a stud basketball player, freshman coming in.
00:27:30
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
We're going give you $500,000 this year. We're going to give you a mill next year. and But you're going sign the contract stay – Graduated pay scale. year Graduated For a couple of years, we're at least going to have your ass here.
00:27:42
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
but you You can't leave – In the middle of the season. There will be contract structure and all that. I don't know. That's just slow to come. Jeff, do you feel good about your 1,200 number in the portal? I thought I heard that on a local sports talk radio.
00:28:00
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So I was wrong on the – there are approximately 5,000 D1 scholarship basketball athletes. But that's a fourth of the group is in over a fourth is is in the almost in the portal.
00:28:14
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
That's just basketball. Yep. What? A fourth of the five thousand. yeah Oh, so 352 D1 men's basketball schools.
00:28:25
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Times 12. Yeah, yeah. I think there's more than 12. I think it's closer to 15. They get you there. Yeah. But that's that's crazy that one in four kids is like, is in the portal to hell with this. I'm um im moving.
00:28:38
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I'm done. Yeah. Somebody will pay me to play somewhere more than I'm getting now, if anything. And it's a wonder that parents are so out of control about the money sports with putting their kids in year round and taking them every year.
00:28:52
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Because their kid can make $500,000, a million, $2 million playing their sport in college. I mean. They don't even have to make it to the pros to make money. Correct.
00:29:03
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Right. Yeah. And in i ah I don't think there will be any significant upsets consistently in the tournament moving forward. I don't disagree. i'll yeah I'll just say that. Yeah.
00:29:15
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Grandiose blanket statement. Sure. you're You're not going to have a 15 competing with a two yeah anymore. Anytime soon. and until Until they do something with with the salary cap or whatever you want to call it. Collective bargaining, whatever, because... All that's common. scott's like Schools like Ball State, Kent State, the you know the directional Michigan schools, they're going to get plucked.
00:29:38
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
yeah And they have... but that really hasn't changed in the last 20 or 30 years. But now there's big money involved. now that Now there's, hey, you play for Central Michigan, you're a starting center.
00:29:52
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
your NIO is shit. Come play with me at Duke or wherever. And I'm going to pay you $800,000, you know? So do you think, you think in some cases kids in, um, like, like a D three school or what have you start getting noticed if they throw their name in to get that recognition? And you think some of the D one schools may pick up kids that may have been overlooked before?
00:30:16
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I think so. I, yeah. Um, I don't think there's any doubt that any of these kids are going to Portal have highlight films right of of sure of their game, of their you know every career of their talent, however you want to call it.
00:30:32
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So they're just throwing it out there. You've got the agents involved. Right. Now, I think every kid probably has an agent, and probably most of them are absolute snakes, no not looking out for the kid's best interest.
00:30:47
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Looking out, hey, if i if this kid signs a $500,000 contract, I put 20 in my pocket, whatever that number is. so Don't you think if a kid has talent to play at D1 level,
00:31:02
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Don't the coaches know before? and i would i He's um on a radar. Yeah, he's got to be on a radar. i would The talent level doesn't change. The the money is is what the right issue is. right So, I don't know.
00:31:18
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I think the only exception to that might be if a late bloomer. Yep. Right. ah Still, then I think you're noticed. yeah they They're going to find you. if if if if you're good enough to play at that level, they're they'll find you.
00:31:32
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
No matter, I mean, money money or no money. I would think so. so I found this one interesting. St. Francis in Pennsylvania. Is it reading or reading? Reading.
00:31:44
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
i ask Ask your former. The beauty of it is they're not in either place. They're not in either place. So they were in the tournament. They were in the play-in game. Lost 70-68.
00:31:57
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
um They are making the decision to move from D1. They just played in the play-in game in March Madness. They're dropping to D3.
00:32:10
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And the major primary reason given, I'm reading this from, ah ah this isn't laughfactory.com, but ah the changing college sports landscape that is now being driven by NIL and the transfer portal.
00:32:24
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I can believe that. So they're saying we just can't. We're not going to compete. We can't compete. Or we choose not to compete. Yeah. And I'd say maybe good on them. Yeah. But they were in the top 68 teams in the country, though.
00:32:36
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Right. Technically. But they can't raise enough money to get over the hump.
00:32:42
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I mean, that's what that blows down to. It never will, probably, is what that means. They can't raise enough money to bring the talent to get to that next level, apparently. I mean, also, that's the only thing that makes sense, right?
00:32:54
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Also, at at the D3 level, you cannot give athletic scholarships. At the D3 level in NCAA, you cannot give athletic scholarships. You can only give academic scholarships. You can only give academic scholarships. What's your thought there, Link?
00:33:09
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
NIL hasn't been around that terribly long for me for a school to go, we give up. We can't compete. There's coaches. um That's Saban quit coaching because that Miami University of Miami's head basketball coach quit because of it.
00:33:26
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
yeah And if you listen to Tom Izzo, Mr. March is what I call him because he just fucking wins in March. ah put Put money down on Michigan State every March. I want to talk about betting.
00:33:37
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I love Tom Izzo. I do. He's very realistic. And it it almost sounds like if you listen to his interviews, listen to Dan Patrick, local interviews, listen to him on there, and he sounds like damn near a defeated player.
00:33:52
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
man, that that he's almost on his way out the fucking door because he doesn't want to deal with this shit. Right. You know, and when when you've got a player that is, hey, give me a million, I'm going to come play for you. 19-year-old kid. Yeah. yeah but Yeah. where' Where's your heart at, kid? I mean, where is it? 100%. the coaching aspect into that.
00:34:17
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Your role, and and most of these guys have been around coaching for a long time. They all start to say the same things. I like to see a kid develop into a person, you know, ye because we like to teach whatever, all the touchy-feely stuff. Yep.
00:34:34
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Take the actual coaching of basketball into the equation now. Mm-hmm. You get to coach a kid for one year, and all four of us show up on campus at the same time. We're there for one year.
00:34:46
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
That's a bitch to coach. Yeah. And i can't I just can't imagine churning that whole team every year. Every year. Every fucking year. Yeah, only only team in history that we know of recently that's done that is Kentucky. Right. And if you think about i mean, it's like owning a business and turning over your entire staff.
00:35:07
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
every year and then retraining everybody reteaching everybody reorganizing her i mean i just can't imagine that is a formula for long-term success and i just don't get it i i kind of know business like that letting beat them people go and then they rehire some and then they then that goes that goes back to that that goes back to that long-term success thing okay got it so i So I said I was going to share something here. Yes. Yeah, you did. Please share. Please share.
00:35:36
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I watched. Was this your tease? No, I'll show you my tease. Bag that right off your T-T's. I watched more women's basketball than I did men's basketball this weekend.
00:35:53
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Really? Gay. Yep. Yeah, maybe on my dad's side. don't know.
00:36:02
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So I found out that all these girls' basketball games, especially first round, this is betting tip for next year. We got to replay this. The one seeds and two seeds win by, like, 50 points.
00:36:13
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
There's no game that's close. Really? So i'm watching I'm watching wrestling Friday night, and I see all these girls' scores going across there, and they're all 30, 40, 50-point Mm-hmm.
Betting on Women's Basketball
00:36:25
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So I flipped to the old betting app and I'm like, oh, plus 22. I'll take them plus 30. What the hell? Let's roll the dice. Let's give it a shot. So I went three for four betting women's college basketball.
00:36:38
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And because this, you know, like this is true to my betting style. Indiana played South Carolina. South Carolina was a number one seed favored by 22 and a half. I'm like. Sorry, IU.
00:36:50
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I think you're going get rolled. Oh, yeah. IU was up in that game. Yeah, they were up at halftime by one. But they were up 13 at one point in the second quarter. Oh, wow.
00:37:00
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So I watched almost the whole second quarter and part of the third quarter. Yeah. IU ended up covering So UConn women's basketball team played. They they might have won by 65-ish. Oh, my God. Hold on. they They played Arkansas State their first game in the in the women's tournament. Who's gay now, Scarecrow?
00:37:24
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Somebody could look this up, but but I'm pretty sure the spread on the game was like 79. can't use that term. Spread? No, no, no. The point spread was like 79 or 80 points. Going into the game. Going into the game. Holy crap. You can Google it. You can too. I can, but I'm not real good at it. Tom can. He's pretty good. The final score of the game, UConn women's first game.
00:37:51
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah, it's – UConn, 103. Arkansas State, 34. thirty four Okay, that's pretty close. They barely covered the spread. Oh, my God. Yeah. The spread was literally stupid a stupid amount of points. I want to look that up. We'll we'll ah recall that next week. but They also – Seriously, I won money betting on women's basketball this week.
00:38:16
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I did not. I didn't i didn't bet on nothing. They also all play at home, right? Yes. They don't play in neutral sites. For the first two rounds. Yeah, for the first two rounds, they all play home. It's all boys format.
00:38:30
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Because the the the boys didn't have neutral venues until after, I think, until Magic and Larry hit that stuff in 1979. Gotcha. Gotcha. gotcha Who were they playing? Arkansas State? That was a while ago, 1979. 46 years ago. It was like 12 years back.
00:38:46
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So, yeah, I spent more time on you watching girls basketball. But so we're talking upsets. I'm going to throw in some wrestling because that's what I know. Probably the biggest upset since.
00:38:59
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Jeff, you asked this before we went on air, and I held my answer. Your question, even though you're not focused here at all, was there was a massive upset in the wrestling NCAA finals.
00:39:12
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
um Kid that won. and This is a really cool story. He went to Air Force. Air Force does not honor COVID years. I didn't know that. So they're like, nope, you're a four-year athlete.
00:39:23
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
That's all you got. So he transfers to Oklahoma State. um he is wrestling the most decorated person, Olympic champion, went to the WWE w for a while. i mean, this dude's resume is almost the size of probably his junk.
00:39:42
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
um And you can tell on those singlets. You can generally see. if you Yeah. Mine wasn't quite form-fitting enough to really really bring the goods out, I don't think.
00:39:56
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
don't know. You watch me wrestle. Did you see anything? like I don't know. You see my box? I remember seeing your box. I don't know about the wrestling part, though. Oh, I see box. um So anyway, this this guy gets an upset. He gets a last-second takedown to win five to four Place goes nuts.
00:40:12
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
one One of the the coolest things was – this isn't political, so don't – the president, Trump, was there. Nobody gives two shits about wrestling in the entire U.S. He was at – when he was president previously, he was there as well.
00:40:31
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So apparently – so this guy's Air Force guy, Air Force graduate at Oklahoma State now. He walks off the mat and salutes ah the president. I'm that's pretty cool. Yeah, yeah. That that was that was a cool moment. Yeah.
00:40:45
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So for me, they said that was the big upset of the week. there was no mass yeah But you said, hey, was that the biggest upset since Dan Gable lost to Larry Owens? And the other one that might be close is when Loudon Swain beat Brian Chute, February 15th, 1985. Shoot, shoot, shoot.
00:41:05
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
to Those are the top three upsets in wrestling and wrestling history. 1985 two claps in a rick flair great all right tom what do you got none of these look like jeff at all oh oh ah oh we're googling so i just i just googled jeff hagan is that where we're going now sure why not jeffrey john well didn't go that far i just just spelled my last name right

A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And their brother's like, nah, screw that. I don't know what you're talking about. There's not another half sister out there somewhere, bla bla blah, blah, blah, blah. And so he, he refused to do it or maybe he did do it.
