DiscerningHearts .com presents Inside the Pages, insights from today's most compelling authors. I'm your host, Chris McGregor, and I am delighted to be joined by Sarah Park McLaughlin, author of four nonfiction books who taught freshman English at Texas Tech University for 34 years. Her book, Meeting God in Silence, was later translated into Korean and published in Seoul. She's a former award -winning newspaper columnist who has published numerous scholarly articles about C .S. Lewis, G .K. Chesterton, and her original theory of humor. With Sarah Park McLaughlin, we go inside the pages of Praying with St. Augustine, published by Sophia Institute Press. Sarah, thank you so much for joining me. Well, thank you for inviting me, Chris. I'm excited. Not any more excited than I am to have this wonderful book, Praying with St. Augustine. It is something that I think is so long overdue. I am so glad that you compiled all these wonderful prayers of this incredible doctor of the church. Well, thank you. It really was a labor of love. I started in the 90s collecting them old school, just looking through the Fathers of the Church books, and it was so much fun to have a mission like that. And then it got rejected quite a few times and I kind of put it aside. So I know it's God's timing that it was accepted by Sophia Institute Press. And now we have Praying with St. Augustine we can take with us to Eucharistic adoration or just uplift our spirits reading it at home. Rejected? I can't even imagine that, Sarah, because this is so phenomenal. I just love it. I will tell you the only reason was people said that they thought only people would be interested in a collection of prayers by many great saints. They couldn't really imagine that somebody would want a book with just St. Augustine, but they didn't know what they were missing. I mean, he's phenomenal. And these prayers are not ones that people accidentally run across very often. You have to really dig through his sermons to find the gems. I love what you did. I think what makes this so lovely is that not only did you just go through and read the sermons, you were listening. You were listening to St. Augustine and you could hear his prayers jump off those pages, didn't you? I really did. I mean, I think that's what makes him so amazing. If somebody looked at this and didn't know who he was or when he lived, they just thumbed through it. They would never guess this is somebody from the fourth and fifth century. Because with the modernized language referring to God as you, he's just as fresh today as if he lived 10 years ago. Get to write. We can all kind of identify with his struggles and his cries to God to make him pure, to have mercy on him. Even though he was a great saint, he never lost that sense of humility. He's not just a plaster saint on a shelf. He's a real person who struggled and who we can identify with, his prayers to God. Well, he sounds like a good friend to you. He's been very instrumental in my life. It's funny. Many different crossroads I bumped into St. Augustine. What really gave me the idea for the book was I went to a silent retreat and some nuns were reading these prayers during the temple services. I'd never heard that they were so eloquent. They started out things like, oh, banquet of love. Afterwards I asked, where are those prayers from? They said, they're St. Augustine. But they didn't have a book. They just had some notes. I thought, oh, okay, when I get home, I'll order prayers of St. Augustine. I was flabbergasted back then. Still, there's no real compilation. There have been some books in the past that kind of come and go that are small, like devotional books. And so I couldn't believe it. And I knew that I really felt like God and maybe St. Augustine was directing me to follow that lead and compile the prayers. I love the fact that you got Dr. Peter Kreeft to do the foreword for the book because he's written a little bit on St. Augustine. He knows him. He is a wonderful person. I was fortunate to meet him at an academic conference one time. He's been so helpful because I wrote to him when I was working on the book and even sent the draft to him and he commented on some of the prayers. And I asked if he would do the foreword and he graciously did. One of the funny lines in there, he says there should be a warning label on the book that if you read these prayers and you don't have the luxury of academic distance that the publisher is not responsible for what may happen to you, God is. And I think that's a terrific line because really when you read these prayers, you get goosebumps. It's reading and praying at the same time. Oh, I think it's so enlightening that he would write that because this is an experience of the heart. This is a divine communication, as it were, God speaking into this man's soul and him responding with this incredible prayer. I think you captured it beautifully. Is it OK if I read one of my favorites? Please do. You read away. Read away. Well, this one, I think, may ring a bell with I mean, many people don't know much about St. Augustine other than they may have heard hearts. You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless till they rest in you. Some people may recognize this, though. Too late did I love you. Oh, fairness, so ancient and yet so new. Too late did I love you, for behold, you were within and I without. And there did I seek you. I, unlovely, rushed heedlessly among the things of beauty you made. You were with me, but I was not with you. Those things kept me far from you unless they were in you or not. You called and cried aloud and forced open my deafness. You gleamed and shined and chased away my blindness. You exhaled sweet perfumes and I drew in my breath and panted after you. I tasted and hungered in thirst. You touched me and I burned for your peace. Now, imagine one hundred and fifty four pages of those type of prayers. Oh, it's just fantastic. They're all gorgeous and they're unique. He has prayers that are strictly praise. And it was interesting because recently I read a quote from Pope Francis in an interview who said, Mary praises God while we Christians so often forget the prayer of praise and the prayer of adoration. And so it's a lot of fun. I subdivided the prayers into groups and one of my favorite sections is the prayers of praise, just pure praise, because I think, of course, there's prayers of petition and some prayers for forgiveness, salvation, some prayers that kind of reveal God's attributes, including the incarnate Christ. But I think that a lot of us can use the models for prayers that are just pure praise. And they're they're really eloquent. And praying with St. Augustine really does draw you closer to God. I think so, too. It's because of his compelling witness, his life story, his conversion story, that he has become so relevant throughout so many centuries. I think of other great saints that have been touched by him. I know even St. Teresa of Avila looked at the confessions of St. Augustine and saw something that just really penetrated her heart. And I think that's so true. I mean, but for somebody out there, Sarah, who doesn't know St. Augustine, how would you put his life into context? As you said, you know, he had a dramatic conversion. He was not a believer in his youth. He was, of course, brilliant and precocious. And when he went on, his mother prayed for him, St. Monica, in the wings for many, many years. She's a real icon of the faith. But when he went off to university, he did want to pursue wisdom. But along the way, he was kind of rebellious and he had a mistress and he fell into some different sins. And he always kind of longed for truth. So God honors that. And when he was in his 30s, he had a profound conversion where the Lord just touched his heart. And boy, from then on, he was a ball of fire. He wanted to be a monk. He became a priest. They wanted him to be a bishop. He kind of reluctantly did. He lived in North Africa. And so he did become a bishop and he wrote literally five million words that we still have preserved today. And like I said, people may think St. Augustine sounds kind of highbrow. Some of his writings are, but these prayers are not. You don't have to have any prerequisite knowledge of him other than to know that he loved God to really get a lot out of these prayers. The thing about St. Augustine is that when he became the bishop of Carthage, journeyed with his people. He was right there in the thick of not only their suffering and because that particular area, it would become under terrible Roman attack. Ultimately, he saw the destruction, didn't he? I mean, he was right there in the thick of their everyday lives. He was. He saw the suffering and he also did a lot of work fighting the heretics. I mean, the Catholic Church has so much gratitude to St. Augustine. And that wasn't easy. I mean, a lot of doctrines back then kind of threatened the truth of the Catholic Church. And so he really stood up for the truth. And he had a profound effect on the church's understanding of the Trinity, for example. He wrote a piece called De Trinitate. And some of his prayers are fantastic because he talks about, he just speaks to God directly and says, Lord, help me understand what am I supposed to tell people? How can you be up there and down here at the same time? I mean, they're just so they're so frank. He has such an intimate relationship with God that he just spoke to him. And I think that really gives me goosebumps and kind of encourages me to just open up my heart and just tell God, you know, hey, look what's going on in the world right now. What are we supposed to say? Give me wisdom. I think that's the key and the beauty to enter into prayer by praying with St. Augustine, by entering into his particular devotion or whatever arena that might be, whatever area he's praying into, whether it's Thanksgiving or if it's in suffering or whatever that might be. It helps train us, doesn't it? That we'll ultimately find our own words after allowing St. Augustine to pray with us in his. I think so. I mean, one of the things that praying with St. Augustine will show you, I included a letter he wrote to a woman named Probut, a very famous letter, and she asked, you know, how to pray. And so he's given her all these tips on how to pray. He covers what Jesus, three most important things Jesus taught us about prayer. So praying with St. Augustine is a real guide to prayer on many, many levels. It's inspirational to see what he had to say and the struggles and prayers, what he asked for, wisdom, humility, truth, strength, forgiveness. He prayed for God to enlighten his darkness. Fill my mouth and heart and all my bones with your praise. Let my soul praise you that it may love you. Cramped is the dwelling of my soul. Expand it that you may enter in. It is in ruins. Restore it. Isn't that beautiful? Absolutely. I think that's one of the reasons why not only for men, but for women, he has this universality about him, doesn't he? That just everybody can identify with his quest to be known to God and to know God. I guess it's that relationship to know and to be known. I think you're absolutely right, Chris. And of course, a lot of people identify with his mother, St. Monica, who we have to thank for her steadfast prayer. Many people who have family members who've left the church and they're praying for them to return. And St. Monica never gave up. And look what her prayers produced, one of the greatest church fathers. It gives us a reason to think that we too can pray and pray and pray and never give up because we don't know. We have no idea the far reaching effects of our prayers. Look at St. Augustine, for example. I mean, I bet he had no idea that he would be this influential this many years after his death. He was very humble. I really enjoy your commentaries, too, in the very beginnings of each of these different sections of prayer, that those different times that in, how do I want to say, the avenues we might travel to engage in that prayer. And the very back of the book is actually the longest chapter of the book. And it talks about that petitionary type of prayer. And we shouldn't be surprised, should we, that St. Augustine would have many of those. Oh, of course. I mean, you know, Jesus told us to ask for our daily bread, even though God knows what we need before we ask. St. Augustine says that when you pray, it makes you ready to receive God's blessings. It's for your benefit, not God's. And it also establishes the relationship between you and God that, like a child, and you really relate to God like a Heavenly Father, that you're not afraid to ask for what you need. And you can ask for those things which of your blindness you don't know to ask. But you're right. The petitionary prayers are beautiful, too. I always love that section. Almost all of his prayers included a little bit of petition, like he prayed to be cleansed from sin and to be freed from anger and armed with patience, drive out the enemy from my deeds and thoughts, and he hungers and thirsts for truth. That's, of course, my favorite. One of the things I like about the prayers that I'm not sure everyone would identify with some might is that he understands somehow deep down the paradoxical nature of God. For example, how Jesus could be a tiny infant nursing with his mother, yet he's feeding her at the same time with his truths. I mean, those are deep thoughts. If you really want to sit with this book and read one of those prayers, it's just something beautiful to meditate on and let the Lord speak to your heart about those deep truths.

"Jason, welcome to the program. Charlie, thank you for having me. I really appreciate it. I can't push back against being called a conservative, but I like to think of myself as part of the Christian movement. Amen. That's the only thing that's gonna save America. You're always welcome to correct me on titles because you label me you negate me. So that's actually a great segue to a story that fires me up and I sent this to my team yesterday and we were thinking about who's the best person to address this. And it's March Madness season. I love March Madness. One of my favorite kind of sport chapters of the entire calendar year, Texas tech suspends basketball coach for quoting the Bible. Not sure if you saw this story or you're not Jason, but this Texas tech coach is now on leave, university suspended, heads head men's basketball coach Mark Adams for quoting the Bible to a student athlete, Jason, your reaction to the story. Yeah, I'm not surprised by it at all. We talked about it quite a bit on my show yesterday. Listen, on college campuses and in American society, a biblical worldview is under attack. It's being demonized as being categorized as hate speech. And, you know, these young kids on college campuses have been radicalized and convinced that America's judeo Christian culture and founding are evil and at the root of everything that's wrong with this country and it's why, you know, we don't accept the LGBTQ, it's why we don't accept transgenderism and so I'm not surprised at all that a coach trying to reach the kid, you know, quote some scripture and the kid in the school twists what he's doing, how dare you, you know, read scripture, how dare you read scripture that mentions the word slavery and context and reality don't matter and then the corporate media gets involved and they call it racially insensitive and when you can turn the Bible into hate speech, it really just speaks to what kind of cultural war we're in and it lets you know who's really under attack and it's Jesus Christ and it's our Christian founding here in America if it's under attack, they want to uproot all of it. You can do some let's just say rather shady things in recruiting athletes nowadays and boy Jason am I here in stories of what coaches are doing now with the NIL stuff. I don't know if it's legal, but it's certainly isn't moral. The things I'm hearing of vehicles and paid trips and parents. I'm sure you're here in stories about this too. It's one of the most underreported aspects of college athletics right now is just the wild west of ethics with recruiting kids. But if you quote the Bible and by the way, just the exact Bible verse that he was quoted about how the Bible calls us to be servants, it might not have exactly resonated with the student, but why is this a problem? How did the university find out? That's my question. I mean, coaches say stuff all the time. You're with them. They're running their mouth. They're sleeping four hours a night. You're getting ready for the big dance. Hopefully. But this is a problem for the university. I think this is grotesque. Well, it's probably a problem because all of these young athletes and particularly black athletes have been convinced and radicalized that America's founding is evil and it's found is related to the Bible and so you've got a lot of young black kids who have been convinced that Christianity is evil. And so I would imagine the kid that complained has that point of view and how dare this 65 year old white man read, you know, Bible scripture to me to tell me how to be a better basketball player, don't you know that, you know, Christianity justified slavery and it's 180° that I'm just a lie, Christianity is what ended slavery. But they've been convinced that it justifies slavery. And so, you know, as the coach in particularly in football and basketball, a lot of coaches, particularly Mark Adams aides, get it into coaching as part of their own personal ministry, to get back to kids. I'm not talking about analogies, the head coach of Texas tech and making all that money. I'm talking when he first dreamed of being a coach, it was about, hey, I'm going to help kids. And I'm going to use this as a ministry to young men and help them in their walk through life and we've basically outlawed that. You can't be Tony dungy anymore, Charlie. Tony dungy celebrated African American coach in the National Football League and he was celebrated for a lot of years because of his values and his values were openly Christian, but they loved to talk about openly gay. There used to be a time, you know, you could be openly Christian. Now if you're a Christian, you got to hide in the closet and if you're openly gay, you get to run out in the closet and all your values can't be questioned. That's the kind of crazy place we're living in America, but I believe the kids started this up. He's probably frustrated with his playing time and being coached hard and is now pretending like his feelings were hurt because someone read a Bible scripture to him. And Tony dungy has been through a lot of personal trauma as well a lot. With his son, it's really sad and tragic. And so Jason, we're seeing this, we're really living through the excesses of not just a secular, but a militantly secular society. And without any sort of core moral value, you have to have something to fill it and we see that in sports because if you remove God from society, people are going to find some other fake and weird religion to fill that void. And that's why in the National Football League, they have the end racism stuff. They have the just nauseating commitment in hockey to the gay agenda, which I just, that one, I can't understand. If you want to talk about a sports, a community where it's probably wokeism is the least.

Cowboy, strong jaw first question. Before we focus on the happenings in Kansas City, inside T mobile center, if I gave you the big 12 or the field to win the national championship, keep in mind the big 12 has won the past two national championships. Would you take the big 12 or the field? Great question right off the top. I think I'm taking the field. That's tough though. I really like the top of the big 12. I think they have two and a half legitimate contenders. Maybe three. Depending on how you view Baylor, Kansas should be regarded as a title contender. I think Texas and Baylor are right there. I would take the field. As a Houston guy, I'm very much excited about their prospects. Obviously, in the American conference, Alabama in the SEC, I think, is a contender Yukon in the big east. So yeah, I think probably I would take the field, but it's pretty close, and I think it's totally reasonable if you wanted to take the big 12. You have a pretty good case. I mean, the top of the big 12 is really strong and metrics wise, the big 12 is leaps and bounds better than any other major conference in college basketball this season. Yeah, I think the big term has more legitimate title contenders than any other league. You would still take the field over the big 12, even I, the person who presented that question just to get a conversation started would take the field over the big 12. But if you did take the big 12, you would get Kansas at plus 800.

"Kansas freshman Grady dick sealed the win on a pair of free throws with three seconds left in the game. Texas tech trailed by 9 at halftime and stayed close in the second half, but the red raiders were never able to grab a second half lead. Jalen Wilson led KU and scoring with 21 points. To be the champion and to finish on top like that, it means a lot and shows all the hard work and the grid of this team. So it meant so much to me. He's a junior, but will graduate in May and is not expected to return. It's the 64th regular season conference title four KU tops and the NCAA. Greg iklin, Lawrence Kansas.

In fact, I was reminded, as I was teaching a training class as I've been training other coaches and grief coaching and understanding grief so they can help their clients with grief and healing. But I was reflecting on this idea and I was reminded of an event that happens several years ago. In fact, I was just figuring out this morning that it was 20 years ago that so crazy 20 years ago next month, we had just moved in to our new to us home and Houston. And we had moved into this new house. Like I said, new to us. And we had been over at friend's house.

"That's where because then people would have understood it a little bit better. I don't think that it really went out there as well or mattered much. I mean, listen, the hatred that we have for Texas years is described. Okay, so I wanted to ask, yeah, that's a great thing. Why? Because Texas is this like high academic studies school. I would say it's more so the people that go to Texas and then the way that their fan base is and how they want to be on Twitter, how they interact with other people. You know, there's high and mighty big or whatever. Even whenever we want our program, we need to really miss that you stay in our ball game in football and we still have such people talking shit we buy this segment. You know what I'm saying? This idea that I live in Austin and I have a ton of money and I know what I'm doing and we're better than y'all because we have a better school than y'all. That's like Hubble with me. He's high and mighty, I'm down here almost up here. I agree. I feel that way about you. Yeah, sure. All right, I think that is, and we're gonna finish this part over here. We're gonna talk a little Kentucky and I'll come back after that. All right, good to drop. All right, let's finish this. Talk a little Kentucky. But that was good. That was good. We gave you a little bit of a feel rob from the people. I think it's fascinating to hear these kids, not reasoning, but really, yeah, the reasonings for why they feel that way about Chris. I think it's a very weird place because you have to be appreciative of what he built. He did build that. And that's not why this is able to happen. But he went to your rival and he kind of led them on. So I think it's a fascinating juxtaposition. I guess you're right, but I think yes he did. Everybody leaves. No, nobody come out and stay when people ask him, well, are you, are you interested in Texas if it opens, what do you not gonna say, yes, I am. I totally get that. I think it's like you said it's the hammering of its viral modern. How's it going? It went out, what'd you say? Oh, nice, I know. There you go. A lot of look at how dressed up is. Does it look good? You got a haircut and everything. Just to sit at home. Yeah, just like I got to work, you know? Jeff gets to hang out and just live the dream and party with you guys. Tomorrow, I don't know about this. All right, we're gonna hang here. You're gonna listen to toxin TikTok. Are we gonna talk a little Kentucky here before we finish it off? All right, all right rob Kentucky blasted Kansas. I mean, absolutely pummeled. The worst loss of the Bill self era at fog Allen since what do we got? Nice. Nice. I can't wear it. I can not wear it during the game. Are you gonna be wearing it? Yeah, you can. Like, something. Ridiculous. No, I'm not. I'm not wearing how about that. I'll work. Yeah. Where? No, where during the game? West Texas Tom? We're doing the game. Why? No. Why not? What's that coming? All right, all right, let's talk some Kentucky before we go. I know you guys get to do. Anyway, Kentucky, pounds Kansas. Worst loss for Bill self. He's only at 16 home losses in his career. The only one that was worse was Texas last year, but there were only 2500 fans. Yeah. What does this say about first Kentucky and where you have them now on the I guess they're like power rankings of teams you trust to win it all. Like I still have Gonzaga one, but I might have Kentucky too, rob. I honestly, that auburn game might be different if Tai taiwa doesn't get hurt, severe Wheeler looked a little dinged up as well. I picked him to go to the final four start of the year. Now, I also picked Michigan. So, you know, those have got to bounce each other out. I do think that the emergence is Oscar Shibuya is a national player of the year candidate and a generational rebounder. I mean, you're looking at like Dennis Robin reincarnated right here with the way he rebounds the basketball. They've got shooting, you know, Kellen Grady, ty ty can make shots. He on Bruce goes for 27. I mean, I know he's good, but man, I know he's but still. That's 27 key on Brooks is not what you're thinking when you're going into play those guys. I think that they're really, really good. I really do. I think you're talking to totally went along. Two point guards. Two point guards. If you look at almost all the teams that have won it all over the last ten years, a lot of them, most of them I would say have two point guards. Yeah. Look around the country this year. And it came out the bob cousy list came out today. The midseason top ten. It's underwhelming, right? Like to me, you can make an argument that severe Wheeler anti Thai belong on that list. They probably looked as a two guard. But he could play the point if he needs it. That's the one thing I would say is what did they lacking rob? Front court, death? I mean, that's it. I guess, yeah, she might get to the Donald trouble. That would be the biggest. Because everybody else just stands around and watching him rebound. But he does. He gets every damn rebound. He does. And some of that, I think, is not stealing rebounds, but he's pursuing them all, which he should. I mean, you're looking at that as rebounds or money, you know? You want to get paid next year? Everybody you get. You're just putting money in the banks, so yeah, that would be my concern. If she wakes and follow trouble or gets hurt, then you've got to totally different deal in your hands. But if you've gotten him in there, they are just crazy good. Kansas. How concerned? I'm concerned just 'cause I don't think with Remy Martin playing the way he's been playing whether it's injury or whatever. Right. Their point guard situation is not good and they're big man situations. Wouldn't work. The day when McCormick stuff is just mind boggling to me. I mean, last year, he gets off to a bad start. He figures it out late in the year, and now, I mean, wouldn't he have three points? Yeah. That is. He's having a terrific year. Christian Brown is really made Steph Jalen Wilson's had a weird season with his trouble early. It's just been inconsistent. Yeah, Robbie Martin, I think everybody thought he was going to come in and just gangbusters at the point guard, but that hasn't been the case. He's been injured or whatever. Yeah. My guys, my guys are throwing around the ball over here. See him? Look, can you see him now? Throwing a football? What's that? They're trying to pass the time till 5 on Tuesday. Probably feels like an eternity. Yeah, most of this out here. Most of this, all of this. Really? Yeah. Just organizing it all? Back and forth and you read it all day. Really? Yeah. It's pretty impressive. Pretty impressive. I know you got to run. I think we'll call it a day on.

"You can go out with your hands. So could you get a look, you could get a small heater in here. No? The first thing was the coolest night. So you'll be fine after that, you think? Just bundle up. Yeah. I don't think we're sleeping much tonight. If I brought my really warm coat, I want to let them use it, you know? Like I got one of those little guy you are. You gotta go out and get him something more. I don't know. I think they're okay, they'll look. I mean, they just got a great setup. That's awesome. It's pretty good. All right, I'm gonna walk out of the tent now. We're gonna go for a little tour down here. What's that? They got another ten over here, rob. All right. How many tents are there? How many people are camping out? Walking on Milwaukee and other markets. At least a 110. A 110. Say hello to Robbie humble. They will come. If the building, they will come. It's pretty good here. I'm gonna go up top and show you. Oh my God. What's up, guys? How are you? So it goes all the way around, all the way around. A man of the people. People recognize him. This is honestly this is awesome. Texas tech is happening though. I mean, this was unimaginable before Chris beard got there. I was here two years ago. Was it two years ago? Right before the pandemic, I think when Kentucky came here and it was not the tenths like this, but it was like a huge party out here. They had food. They had everything. I think there might have been tense. Are you close to the arena? Are you more so like on campus kind of? I know. The arena is right behind the arena right here. Okay. This is right in front of the arena, so. All right, do you want to talk a little bit about you want to move on? Do you want to give a prediction of this game? I'm going Texas tech. I just think they're toughness is in that environment. It's going to come into play. They have so much to play for. And I just think that in order to win in a place like that, you have got to be a group that has got to figure it out and together and I just don't think Texas that group. So I have to go Texas tech. I'm the way I'm taking Texas tech too. Let's find out what these guys are, what they think. Hey guys, you want to be in a quick podcast, give you a prediction of Jessica. What's up? How are you? How are you, man? What's your name? Jonathan. That's your last week here. Oh, a good thing. Are you an answering him? Why have you been answering this guy, Joe? See? He likes me. Hey, so I didn't like you. I know you didn't. No, you liked him. You like me a few years ago. Whenever you're talking great about, yes. Yeah, but beer was here and you guys were really good. I was slowing you guys out. Right, and then you hated me. Now you like me again. Well, you went on the podcast. I said it was the worst job in the league. I know, I know. It's not the worst job. The slander that you did the Texas tech. They don't deserve this. All right, let me get these girls. You're predicting. Well, first of all, say hello to Robbie. How are you guys doing? Good. What's your name? Madison. All right, so your reaction when crispy, it's going to come out tomorrow on the court. It's going to be what? I'll probably be pretty upset. Are you going to yell at bad things up? There is a possibility. Really? I got to say there is. Your mom and dad are not going to be happy. My mom and dad are talking about me. I want to ask you really quick. I want to ask you really quick. In any way, do you feel, will you feel bad for him and do you in any way understand why he would leave? I definitely don't feel bad for him. I think that we had a great community here and everyone loved him. And so I don't see any reason. He should have left or he should have given us more of a decency of talking to us. Like, letting every like all of his fans know instead of kind of just like jumping off. Yep. What do you got there? Got my little art project. I like it. Yeah, I got to say entertained. This is gonna be fun. I know. I'm jealous. You're gonna get to see this tomorrow. How do you not come for this game? No, you broke up with your tank. What makes you do that? 200 bucks. Somebody donated said they donate $200 to charity if I change it. Awesome. Got it. My guy, Jeff is. I don't know. I don't need to this. A hundred bucks to this. No problem. All right. Say hello to her. What's your name? You're both Addison? Yeah. You're not out of school too. Yeah. What do you got? All right. Very nice to meet you guys. So give me one word to describe Chris spirit. That seems to be the common theme problem. Addison number two coming up with ugly. That's brutal. What's up, man? Yeah, yeah. How you doing? Good. Guys, how are you? Just a celebrity. Not yet. What? The other guys, they're freshman, so I couldn't even buy them beer. I could come back and bring you beer. Are you 21? I'll go get some beer later and bring some beer up. What if that room? You're a real hero. My cornhole over there. It's awesome. I know. This is from. No, this looks awesome. It's gonna be a big time atmosphere. There's no doubt. That place gets you out too. Can you see it all? Yeah, no, the football field and all the kids on the tents. Yes. It's pretty unbelievable to think of where Texas tech basketball was ten years ago and to think that they have this today. You know what? People aren't going to like hearing that, but that is a credit to Chris. Chris beard. What's your name again? I'm shocked. Jonathan, Jonathan, are you from Lubbock? No, I'm from the Dallas area, but both my parents are here. And I know the whole I do hope love night. And I will agree. I will agree with y'all. I don't know if crispier doesn't know this. By himself, no. But we wouldn't be here without the same. So there is some level of appreciation. Absolutely. But there's more hatred for him leaving in the way he left. I think it's more of the way he left. That's what everybody's saying. But I felt like there was a lot of venom the day he left. Even before anybody knew. Yes, because of the way he did it. It's not about where he went. I really don't believe that. It's about the way he went about doing it. You're thinking, and he made them believe that he was going to stay forever 'cause he was supposed to do there. Well, I may leave. I mean, I think if he had been more honest and forthcoming and been like, and like I think Addison said, talked through the process, it would be different. That was whenever he was meeting with or I think that was whenever he was at 5, or he was McDonald's and by the end. I think it was he was meeting with somebody about his next job. The only thing I'll say is that shit happens everywhere. I have nothing you can do. You can try to keep it as wide as you want, but ultimately I think honestly, if I was him, I would have been saying from the moment I took that job, rob. It's my Alma mater. It's mama mater. It's mama. I would have said that I'm fucking thousand times..

"The best behind the defense. You can't argue that. No, I don't think you can. Listen, you're seeing it now, right? I mean, how good they've been has been a surprise to me to some degree, but the culture is still there. Like that's the thing that I think rob is the difference right now between Texas and Texas tech. Like Texas, there's no culture yet, right? There's still a bunch of guys that came over that honestly, hadn't won anywhere. Here they've won. So they still got, and like you said, the three star guys, even the second tier transfers, probably fit better. Like, Bryson Williams fits better here. I mean, listen, Rodney Terry coached him. And he didn't take him to Texas. So he gets better here than maybe a Marcus car, some of those other guys rob the Texas was able to relay that we thought were the elite level transfers, right? I just think that the toughness level between the two teams is diamond close. I mean, Texas, you watch them play. I don't trust them with any lead. They could be up 30 points, and it's like, well, this is not over. Whereas when you watch Texas tech go to Kansas and playing that, I know they lose, but I mean, they are tough, they compete, you go into an environment like that and I don't feel house. I mean it's culture is the word. I totally agree with Jeff and both of you guys. I just think it's fascinating that Mark Adams and Jeff, you need to tone to this. What did you think? Well, the higher when it was made? I didn't like it. I didn't like to hire because again, like you said, I didn't think he'd have the charisma to be able to recruit. Like I knew he could, their defense was based on him. But I thought at 60, what is the 65 now? He was 64 years old. I'm never a proponent of hiring a guy when there's in their mid 60s for the first job. I'm not. And I'm old. But I would say the biggest question I have was could he recruit a high level, but the transfer portal has changed to me. And you kept enough good players, although the craziest part of all this is like Shannon has been hurt. Mcculler has been hurt and hasn't been what we thought they'd be, right? Both those guys, he's doing it without them being anything close to a 100%. That's if Kyler Edwards has stayed. Cholera Edwards is balling at Houston. If he was still around, I mean, he's having a great year, but you're right. He's done a great job of keeping the main nucleus outside of Edwards intact, brand tarantula that fit, and they just guard their ass off. They're a joy to watch. I love watching Texas tech, but I can't say the same about the text long ones. So what was it like last night here? I mean, it was awesome. You guys are hungry. So I was going to bring some beer, but you know, I can't even do that with freshman raw. Providing for minors. But I don't need that. We don't need that in my resume. What was it like last night? It was so high level donor hold up in that they whatever that is. Yeah, that was crazy. Charlie, I think you organize all the stuff that's here today. But it began to camp out with us. Had football coach came about tacos and the whole team can not give up. And we had a four star crew. I decided to do that. Yeah. The need for useless game. That's pretty good, right? We've been fooled this entire topic. There's actually a GoFundMe. That's all right. And I gave a hundred bucks to me. $13,000. Thank you for your dash. You know, I beat your chest, Jeff. Hundred bucks, baby. I give a hundred bucks to it. Why not? Listen. If we have been students now, again, home or you were too cool for this kid. I mean, you were done that on the team. You want to give a heart? Do you want to give it a hundred bucks? I didn't even know there was one. Yeah, I'm gonna send you the link. I'm gonna send you a link. You can help me. You can give 200. I know what you make. Okay. Okay. Graduate here. Wow. How about that? So we give 6000 homework. Can you beat that? I don't know. I don't know if I got that kind of course. He probably would. But that's the stack. I don't think it's happened, right? I know. We got somebody else coming in the tent now. This is our friend. How you doing? You want to come on a podcast? Sure. What are you bringing? Chick-fil-A? Where's it from? All right. Rolls college. Cool. What's your name? Yes. Leah, all right, you got to speak up later. So hold on. Leah, how are you? Before you before you start, I want to ask you, what do you think of Chris beard? See, I like that swab, but I'm not really into the. I don't know details, so I just kind of go with these two boys say. We know what they say about Chris. What are you going to the game? So when he comes out, what do you think you're going to do when you first see him come out on the floor? Do you think you're going to hear you think you're going to boo? You think you're going to yell all sorts of bad shit out of them? What do you think you need to do? I don't think it'll be good. What percentage of the people in there do you think are going to cheer for Chris beard tomorrow? Less than 1%. Wow. I think that's hot. I think it'll be zero. I really do. Are you guys scared of what is going to happen? I've seen some bad stuff happen in arenas when this. And that's the one thing I don't want to see. Right. Right. It's herbal. Yep. We're obviously. That's going to happen. You hear that problem? The physical they do not conduct. You got to keep it. Rob rob got one of your verbal back in the day. I don't know if you know rob rob's almost 40 now. So come on, I'm not looking for you. That's a lot. He's 32. He's a star for him. He's an all American NBA. And he had two 20. Literally pretty would have won the whole thing if he had stayed healthy. They would have won the national title. And so people should be yelled at him when he came back from the second turn ACL. Here we go to Indiana. What would they yell up? Well, they were the whole arena was standing in ACL, which, you know, is like, whatever. The worst is at Michigan state. She can stay with these kids were young. They hope I blew my knee out again. So, Mike, actually, my coch heard it. He was yelling back at him. We're losing about like 30. So I'm sure talking there's always thrilled that in his postgame they were talking about two students that were yelling at that stuff and not about their win. But yeah, I agree with you guys. As long as it's not like, as long as it's not physical and it's just saying stuff is fair game. Rob, can we get you on a little tour of the tent? Yeah, please. The cribs. Cribs and whatever greater vote. This person Ted rob. It's a 6 person ten. Is there anything in here that can not be filmed? Before I show anybody you're good? All right. With homo with his apartment, I had to be careful. Years ago, I went and only because our furniture was so embarrassing. We didn't have any money. It was a dome. You know, we just cleaned it. They cleaned it. Look at this. So we got, can you see this rough? I see the entrance. Yep, snacks. Doritos. Cupcakes? A basketball, some cupcakes. We got some hand warmers in that Walmart. And the Walmart factors from him weren't. Okay. One, two, how many beds? What do you got here? So you're gonna fit. We do rotation. So not everyone spends a night. So there's two people in here at once. Probably about three or four. Three or four people in here. What's the what's the temperature going to be tonight? It gets cold at night. Right? Shit. I mean, it's beautiful right now, but it's down in the 20s, right? 25, rob. They tougher than you. You would have made a ten minute no. You guys, what do you guys do for heat? Is there like a you guys got a heater? No heater. So we actually from the are you allowed to do? We got space. We had the second year..

"Homo podcast. I'm Jeff Goodman. Robbie you there? Where are you at? I'm outside my ear. I was going to do it for my hotel room, the podcast, but I figured you'd rather get some scene here. No, I like that. Mark. I mean, first of all, listen, I left two feet of fucking snow. I'm not going back. I'm not. I'm like, what is it? 70? 65? All right, what do you guys think? Jackson? Jackson and rich, we got robbed. We actually go. We're going to do the podcast from their tents. They're like, one, two, three, four, 5, 6, and they're about 89 in the ten. First of all, guys, tell me the rules. The rules for the tent. Because I know like duke, you have to have a certain amount of people that go ahead. What are the rules? So basically, the rules are one person based at the all times. And when you put your and you get a wristband. So we got the Saturday iris man. Nice. So there's Sunday Night wristbands and then there's gonna be tonight restraints. And so when we take up all our tents, probably around ten tomorrow morning we'll just look at our wristbands and we'll just get pretty good seats. So come on, you can tell me the truth. Mom and dad aren't listening. No, I went to my class this morning, so you're able to go to class. You are one of them. Yeah. So you can have so many replace you too. Come out and do it. You hear that rob? Hey, I'm proud of you guys. Have you guys named your tent city yet? Like duke is just chesky mill. Have you guys given the name to this? Raider Bill Robert. All right. He wants Mark adamsville. Mark Adams, I like that. That's a good name. Let's get into check out the tenure. All right. I'm excited here. I might stay here tonight. Forget the residents did, right? Yeah. Why do I need the rest of your kid? Look at this. Yeah, you guys have any room for me? If you want, dude, seriously, for sure. See, look, they liked me rob. They know, they know you were talking bad about Texas tech before the season. I have come around. All right, I'm gonna set this down and we're gonna try to do this 5 right here, rob. Tell me when we gotta set up okay. Okay. It's not a lot of firm. Hold on. Might be able to figure something out here. I think we got it. I think we got it wrong. Just bear with me. Trying to figure this out. You know, you know me and technology. Now you guys are in here. You doing it? Yeah, you're in. You're in. I just got to figure this thing out. And then we'll do it. All right, and we all in. Are we in the shot or no? Yeah. Well, now that film now. Trying to try to figure it out. It's not easy. It's not easy. We're in. All right, you guys are in. I want to ask the first question to the guys, all right? Get a little closer. A little closer. So we can hear you better. What is your guys opinion of Chris beard? Trader. He's a trader. I mean, a lot of people around here didn't know. It wasn't about him leaving. It was about how he left. And how he what do you mean? The last second in essentially tried to destroy the program, taking all the coaches within the stock recruitment. So I think that's where the majority of the animosity comes from. So there is the misnomer is just that he left Texas tech to go to Texas. It's not just that he did that. It's how the perception. Right. I know, I'm in again, that stuff's hard to prove, right? Like how many players he was trying. I heard this too. The new shot take all the players with him, all the coaches, everything like that. But ultimately, it comes down to still rob that he left Texas tech for Texas, right? See, I don't agree. I don't agree. I think and I'd like to hear your guys opinion is the bigger issue that he made you guys feel like, yo, he is one of us. Like, we are going to do this blue collar. We're going to beat teams like Texas. And I know Texas is your guy's rival, but isn't it because he made you guys feel like, yo, I'm in this for the long run. We went to the final four, or is it more than it is? Texas and that's your rival. I mean, it's just like with, you know, he was offered a lifetime deal to stay here. And you know a lot of quotes as he was home. He would go to water like a 2 a.m. in the morning, like he was. I agree, listen, I would still admit this and I think rob would too. He fit Texas tech better. But I still feel like and you guys aren't going to want to hear this. But I still feel like at Texas, you have the ability to recruit a higher level player on a consistent basis. He got McDonald's on Americans. He got good transfers. But like Kevin Durant isn't coming to Texas. I will say though, Jeff, they also have the ability to have 15 people at their next game. 100% there don't give a shit. Yes. I'm with you on that. They have no, I mean, these fans are Texas tech is an awesome environment. Rob, how many times you've been there? I'm probably Ben to love it 6 or 7 times. Were you guys there for the vanilla ice halftime concert? No, I was. They're too young. Okay. I was like, well, it's free COVID, so I guess that was three years ago now. You're both fresh. So they're both freshmen. So think about this. What they walk into this year and how exciting this seriously, I came all the way for this game. Like, it didn't matter, honestly, the rankings are irrelevant. Like, to me, this is about Chris beard walking into this arena and just seeing the reception that he gets. What's he gonna be like? Are you gonna profanities? Like, we got some preparedness. You hear that? You hear that right? Everything. Do you guys have the scouting report stuff? Like the sheet of all this, like is it like a needed camera up here? It's in our minds. This is the biggest game of the year. You could lose every other game, but you like this is the game you have to win. For sure. Like if you went one in 30, but you beat beard. You might be great. That's crazy. That is crazy. I would say like on the prospects and getting good recruits like Texas tech was built on three star reviews. Totally who worked hard in the gym and you know be expectations and rose up from the ashes literally. And so when he does that and of course, I credit him for that credit for building the program, but then he just left a UT but he left it in a better spot. I'll play devil's advocate a little bit here in he did leave it in a really good spot. I mean, when he came here after tubby left, it was okay. Now obviously everybody now is saying it was all Mark Adams. I think we can agree that it was probably a combination of them and some of the other here is probably charisma late in the next. One behind that movie. Get closer. You guys, I don't know if these suits can hear it all. So what did you say? I was basically just saying that Chris beard's charisma was able to geek out those recruits for us and those years, but Mark.

"And to me, that guy is worth a late first round pick flyer. Now, it's funny. The antithesis of him in many ways is Kennedy Chandler, right? A guy that does not have elite physical tools, but has a lot of the skill level that evaluators hope for. He certainly has the role that evaluators would love to see him in at Tennessee where he does have the ball in his hands throughout most of the game. At least has the opportunity to have the ball in the same throughout most of the game. And again, I mean, the same issues that we brought up with Kennedy Chandler in the preseason. I think continue to cause me to give me pause, I guess. It's hard to be a 6 foot 165 pound guard in the NBA and we've seen some flashes of difficulty for Kennedy Chandler thus far adjusting to the size difference of players in college basketball. He's a blur. He's very fast to the ball in his hands. And he's quick most of the game. He got on the break. If he gets a step in transition, like he's beating you. I'm similar to you where he had that game statistically that the box, Colorado, and people said, see, here's the game. I actually felt worse about the game because I wasn't sold on that type of finishing working in college as a wood against the NBA. The rotating big and no disrespect to him at all was Evan batti, who's 6 8 two 60. You're not having that size of big rotating to help. It's 7 foot with the 7 7 wingspan. I will say he's a high percentage operator, pick and roll. He works of that well, and if guys go under, he's gonna shoot. I don't really believe in a shot. I think there's a lot of God hand. People pointed to other things. It's gonna work. It could get there. He worked on it all summer to improve. And then I'll give him credit for having stones too. Like the second half versus Colorado. Totally. It was a back and forth game. There's around the 8 minute mark. He calls his own number. He scores through contact. He's not afraid. He's not going to shy from the big moment. The other one I want to point out is he had really rough gaming in Texas tech, which was a very tough basket to watch, produce four for 13. He was one for 5 from three. He had 5 6 5 turnovers in the UNC Greensboro game. I watched their very physical with him and they picked him a full court. They made sure he didn't get any easy box. He was two for 9. The size and strength and that's gonna become the scout now when you get into conference play, how he adapts and works in that could be a little bit telling on what's gonna look like in the NBA as well..

"I still do not look, I don't rank freshman outside of the top 50. This early in the season, just because I don't think it's necessary to do. I don't have Josh mine on the top 50 from an if we're talking like upside like what he could be long-term. Yeah, I get it. You know what I mean? Like I do. But yeah, I think from an asset management perspective, it just takes too long. That's fine. We'll talk this one away. I feel okay with this one right now. Okay, number 20 5. I'm a bit surprised that neither of us have taken Jean Montero. But I feel like one of us should take Jean Montana. That's fun. I don't like love, taking him for what it's worth, the scouts that have been down to OTE have said that he looks much better as a distributor than what he did early on for in his career when he was playing overseas in Spain. When he was there, it was all scoring all the time. Right. That was the whole game. He was a pull up gunner. It was like a smaller version of Trey man, right? But I think a little bit more technically gifted off the bounce. And if the passing is real, then I think that he's worth a pick, probably around 20. There are guys that I think once we get down into this range, I am. Actually pretty interested in now. It's that like 6 to 20 range where I don't have anyone right now. Yeah. I agree with that too. I mean, he can really score it. I've watched, I think admittedly only. I watch this overseas stuff, definitely I watched one overtime a week game on YouTube, but I have to watch more. I had a more in the 30s, just small scores, small guards, scare me, it's not small, just like smaller from a high volume shooting wise. So I haven't been the biggest fan, but maybe that's a little bit of ignorance of having to watch more too. Okay, you are up at number 20 6. At 26, I'm gonna tell you a guy who hasn't played a game yet this year. I'm going to take Terrence Shannon junior from Texas tech. Sure. This is about the range I had him last year, maybe a little bit lower, somewhere 25 to 35. He hasn't played because this is a Matthew penny pick. Stay consistent..

"Arizona Cardinals head coach, cliff Kingsbury. Now here's the truth last year was a disappointing year for Arizona. They were supposed to get better and improve and they got some new talent and a young quarterback and instead of getting better, they just went 8 and 8, which I guess was an improvement on a bad year, but not really the progress Arizona was looking for. Now this year in Arizona they have even more talent, more offensive weapons, they added AJ green, better players on defense, they added JJ watt, a couple other people. And they still have one of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL Kyler Murray. So if Arizona is not in the mix competing for a playoff spot, they just have to be in the hunt in my opinion. I don't know the Arizona has to make the playoffs in order for them to be like, yeah, we like our coach. We'll keep cliff Kingsbury, but if not, even in the mix or even close, then yeah, I think cliff Kingsbury is going to get fired at the end of this year. And here is what's weird about cliff Kingsbury. He used to be the head coach in college at Texas tech. And in college as a head coach, he had a losing record. And I always looked at that in justified it by saying, well, like he's bad at recruiting and maybe it's harder crude to Texas tech, and maybe it's not as strong suit. Maybe in the NFL, cliff Kingsbury can focus solely on the X's and O's and becoming a good head coach and not a story about recruiting, and that'll make him even better. Here's the unfortunate reality, though, is that he struggled in college, and now he struggled again in the NFL. He has a losing record as a head coach. He's never had a great year, as a head coach. You're like, we're waiting and waiting and waiting. And I think you had 8 and 5, one time at Texas tech. Like, that's his best year ever. Coaching as a head coach ever and how did this guy go from college to the NFL losing record in college? Once again, as a losing record in the NFL, and so if things do not get better this year in Arizona, he's out of excuses, like he's clearly not going to keep his job in Arizona, and I believe that is the right move..

"It, it was a roller coaster of a day because it started off. In my time, you're probably still asleep in Australia. He he was, he said he was going back to school. Was taking the transfer portal. So I had my little right up cuz I didn't know it was going to do. So I changed it and then wage. About an hour ago he said no I'm actually going back to Arizona State. So again I've had to tweak what I what I wrote and kind of said report here. The reports workouts, the Columbine were kind of lackluster at best two. People are turned off. I didn't play the five on five and is promoting stuff wasn't great, which is rare for four people. And B Teams do love the measurables almost 6 or 8 in shoes, 6/11 wingspan. The shot looks right. And that his size his injury, you shoot 30% of the field and 34% from 3 it's like well it looks right, but it's not there and he he wasn't a one-and-done guy or a thought of that and started the year off hot with three or four games and everyone got excited and said maybe this is the next guy and then he was injured and missed a month here and there and then declares and the wheels kind of fell off. So I thought he was a second-rounder probably earlier. Second round of the chance to get off. I would invent colourful. Take him right now in the first round. I liked it goes back to school so it's probably start somewhere in the twenties again and can work his way up or be places way out of it. That could happen to wage. I think the numbers will go up from 34%, take some better shots and just hope he's healthy for a full season of college basketball. Yeah, totally. I think that's dead on. I had Marcus Bagley, I think at 43 going into the Palm Terrace, Shannon, I-44 and good segue. TJ Shannon decides he's going to return to Texas Tech. So another player that was pretty polarizing, former NBA front-office has, you know, you mentioned to me, I mean, here, just say, well, you mentioned to me last night and from an NBA person, what part of it, I had him on a personal choice, as high as like 24 at one point and then I think I ended up being around 34 but I know we had fans and the mid twenties and then some had closer to the fifties. So another guy, all these guys were talking about. Now, the brake was so crazy, it wasn't ten spots. Like the ranch was like 30, which is it's kind of insane because the money that swings between a guaranteed ticket twenty-two, you're getting the fifties and people start negotiating. Well, if you take birth A minor kind of deal here and sign a guarantee to for this. So it gets dicey in that second round for him too. I like this ability to slash his defend to be switchable on the other end of the Court. Took the jump shot like the form of mechanics Wise. It's still can be an adventure a little bit. Especially his hands kind of go over the place. He does this thing where he telegraphs is pull up, just slightly by slowing down, and done quickly, stopped and rising up. I didn't love his low assist numbers. I definitely get it. Like, I get the body at that six foot six and I think tested it like 6.7% body fat. He is a Twitchy athletes shot better two thousand a year. I thought my gut was to staying in because with Chris. Head coach of Texas Tech leaving to go to Texas. I thought maybe that was a tell that he was going to go pro..

John gallagher wild and i like john gallagher. Head coach at hartford neighborhood. Man the neighborhood who here west hartford the neighborhood as the ultimate philly guy. John gallagher is the ultimate dilly guy. I've already got the text from. I've spoken is tipped off banquet a year ago. The dude is certifiably insane in a good way. What he no one is going to enjoy the ncaa tournament more than it. So as soon as they won they immediately went to indianapolis and starts to quarantine and have experienced john. Enjoy it. we're gonna say nice things about you. You're a good guy. And ballard dance so nokes no trepidation about baylor's performance against oklahoma state. Oklahoma states really good people are losing their mind. What at at baylor games. They're playing in the big twelve. They're not planning west coast conference. You're playing in the big twelve. You're planning against other teams that have good players. You're gonna lose games all right. The next game is interesting. Opening round games wisconsin. Why i think he's just not right against north carolina who depending on the day is not right. I mean real simple carolina. You can take care of the ball. Are you gonna make your shot if you take care of the ball and at least get shots up. Then you have an advantage. Except that as we know wisconsin wisconsin's analytics over. Like if you just look at their analytics you would think they'd win every game. They don't give up second shots that will turn it over. They get pretty good shots but they don't play winning basketball. I know that sounds weird. But there's something not right. I think carolina find a way to win that game except the carolina. Jecklin hide reminds of this game. Would you like i like carolina. And this and i look whatever's happened to nate rivers whether it's kobe whether it's whatever it just hasn't been good. I expected more out of him. They don't run their stop nearly as well as they didn't pass they rely too much on one. And frankly they're not a one on one team. And you know what would those big garrison brooks bay. Come and all and bacon's and everybody else you can get into wisconsin. Guards make them drivers into traffic. I think this is a pretty good match up for north carolina. I just think they're better. And i think they're going to win the basketball game and i think they're going to win it fairly big. So if you wanna bet on a game this probably going to have tyke spread. That's gonna move it out a little bit. I think this is the game i think. North carolina wins by double digits. All right to winter is the sexy upset. eco nova plant without conquests. Be justin moore play the other day but wasn't good. They started the set a little bit. You know this is. This is a winter key. May play really fast. I've got a low post lower burns at play him about fifty minutes game. he's really productive. Obviously they got a very good camera. Badran the big six seven kind of point guard because they run the show through a tuck this about. They're extremely aggressive. Pat kelsey really likeable dude. Winter months play fast was gonna try to get into half court who you like. Well i i agree with everything you said. I think winter got a hell of a team. But if this was any other organization other than j j rights organization i would say the winthrop's gonna win the basketball game but you still have robinson hurl. You still have samuels. And if healthy justin moore. You've got three guys. You've got the best three guys on the court. And that always bodes. Well now the point guard situation okay. It is what it is. We all know that point guards at villanova stuff are important. It is the sexy. Pick the five twelve upset all that kind of stuff. But i'm not betting against jay wright and his organisation they just seem to overcome things that need to be overcome when they need to be overcome. I great i agree all right. So now this is an interesting north texas by gurus helmi north texas guards. The crap you absolutely flat can guard you an elite defensive team. They put great pressure notable they then eyeball reversal on play. Two man game with javon Handle it let the point guard and that they are really really good solid defensive team. They turn people over there really aggressive. But you've seen teams like that. Purdue doesn't beat themselves. You pretty has probably i i do. I think this is going to be right down to the wire south because what. I've talked to people today actually. Starting last night couple guys. I was surprised. North texas beat western kentucky. Not because i knew anything about no taxes. But because i saw western kentucky for three games and and they're really good athletic on the wing. Strong tough. I think what you said about the all of the defense bits. Dramatically bad against purdue get up into. They're not the quickest. Get shot team jay nineties really the only one that can i think this is going to be. I'm going to bet against purdue because i think produce offensive analytics put them in the top ten. But nobody's really pressured purdue nobody's really got into them and under wings. Don't take this game for granted. North texas is going to cover whatever the point spread is pretty wins. It the end. Are you got another big time. Texas tech utah state and utah state. Pounds that thing in pain name is cadence a big physical that play a four round. One run actually pretty good motion and so pretty good actions to me. The kid just being an interesting precedent. Don't shoot it as well as they happen to pass but they really defend the top five rebounding They're a very good offensive antiques. Keta against texas tech doesn't have a legitimate big tonight.

States drop COVID-19 mask mandates but still expect people to mask up
"Texas governor Greg Abbott, is dropping the state's mask mandates enacted during the pandemic. Starting today, businesses, including restaurants can operate at full capacity without restrictions from Texas Tech public media Sara Self wall Brick has more. A lot of people think that it's too soon to not require mask but Others insist that wearing a mask should be a personal decision and not a matter of public policy. So the governor's new order INS mandates that had been in place since last summer at it insists there are fewer people in hospitals and more people getting vaccinated. But it is worth noting that vaccinations air taking place at a much slower rate than elsewhere in the country. Sarah Self Walberg
NPR's Business Story of the Day
Texas Lifts Its State-Wide Mask Mandate, Some Businesses Disagree
"As of today. Texans are no longer required to wear a mask. In public businesses restaurants included canal. Operate at full capacity without restrictions governor greg. Abbott announced the change last week. Despite objections from public health officials sarah self walbrook of texas tech public media joins us now to talk about the change in policy. Hi sarah good morning. I just explain how bad the covert situation is in texas right now. Yes the governor's new order ins mandates that had been in place since last summer at least somewhat helped texas. Is kobe situation. Abbott insisted there are fewer people in hospitals now and more people getting vaccinated although it is worth noting that vaccinations are taking place at a much slower rate than elsewhere in the country Texans are really split on whether the mask requirement should continue many think. It's too soon to not require masks but others say that wearing masks should be a personal decision and not a matter of public policy so now that there are no state restrictions on this it becomes a local issue right so howard different cities and counties responding one example. We've seen so far. I mean austin a local public health ordinance was established. Yesterday that will still require mask. Wearing the governor's executive orders specifically prohibits cities and counties from doing that. But austin city council in health authority found a loophole that they think allows them to no word yet on how the governor or other cities and counties will respond. What about schools. How how does this change schools. The texas education agency has allowed school board to decide what works best for their districts We've seen a handful that have ruled that mass will no longer be required but most districts are keeping their current rules in place through the spring governor. Abbott made his announcement last week at a mexican restaurant in lubbock. Which is where you are heard. You checked in on how that restaurant is planning to respond to the new policy. Which you learn. I did so. Owner rudy. told me yesterday that when he agreed to host the governor last week at his restaurant montelongo does. He did not know exactly what the governor was there to announce he had expected business capacity limits to be lifted but he was just as surprised as everyone. When the governor ended the mask mandate roselle has decided not to change how he does business so he's keeping his restaurant at about fifty percent capacity and will continue to require employees and customers to wear masks. He said it's up to each individual business and each person the responsibility for their health so really. This variety of responses is exactly what the governor intended with this new order. Sara self walbrook of texas tech public media. Sarah thanks thank you

Texas governor lifts mask mandate and allows businesses to open at 100% capacity, despite health officials' warnings
"Texas Governor Greg Abbott is ending coronavirus restrictions in his state. He announced this at a restaurant in Lubbock, where he also said businesses should reopen a week from today, Quote 100%. Now this is exactly what the CDC has said not to do and these public health measures early. Sarah self Wall Brick is a senior. Order a Texas tech public media and she was there covering the announcement. Hi, Sarah. Good morning. Practically What does this mean for Texans? So governor, Abbott said that starting next week, businesses will be able to open it. Full capacity and mass will no longer be required. He says he wants businesses and other entities to make those decisions. So, for example, supermarket chain H E B has already announced that they won't require customers to wear masks in their stores. So Abbott says, people should still do. It protects them. Right eye's rescinding the statewide mandate. So here's what he had to say yesterday. Personal vigilance to follow the safe standards is still needed to contain covet. It's just that now, state mandates are no longer needed. But did he explain why now? Dad, is it just that things are looking up across Texas at least when it comes to co vid hospitalizations air down even in regions like Laredo, and I'll Passo that have seen the worst of it. Vaccinations have gotten off to a really slow start here. Texas is obviously a big populous state, but less than 7% of the population is fully vaccinated right now, which is one of the lowest percentage is in the country. So you have mixed news case is going down, but vaccinations going slowly. How are people reacting to abbots announcement? It's definitely been mixed. So based on what I've seen on social media, I think a lot of people see this is a political move, especially after the fall out of the winter storm that thousands of Texans are still dealing with. I talked with a few lobby guides after the announcement yesterday because the mask me a date wasn't well enforced anyway. Dr. Craig Ryan with Covenant Health says We're sending the mask order may not do much. And he hopes that common sense prevails. I think that the people that have grown accustomed to wearing a mask and have gotten a sense of safety and security from wearing a mask will probably continue to do exactly that. Chris Bury owns a local restaurant is president of the Loving Restaurant Association. He hopes at its announcement will lead to higher consumer confidence. If everyone feels more comfortable and getting out and going out to eat and getting back to the quote unquote normal life, that's what we're looking forward to, and that's what we anticipated. Okay, That's how many businesses I would imagine might feel, But I'm curious about medical workers. The people who work on the front lines. Did you talk to any of them? I had. So I heard from one woman in particular. Christie Ginza, Who's a nurse practitioner who's been volunteering at Love Eggs, covert vaccination hub. Have a hard time believing the governor is taking advice from medical experts. He's put in labs and our economy at risk yet

Looks like Texas Tech is going to beat l s u Excuse me. Ls she was gonna beat Texas Tech. I'm sorry. My Ron Meyer. Why're you shaking your head? Because big turnover by l s u Texas Tech has it in a chance to win. Okay, Well, never mind. I'll hold out hope that I'm actually gonna pull this off. I was going to in the first In the first two games, but we've got one more for our four o'clock. Our halftime spread, Joe, What's the school? What's the game? What's the spread? All right, So it's just about the tip. Wisconsin leads Penn State 34 31 at the half The live line is minus four minus four. So if you want, Wisconsin, you gotta win by four to push five toe win. Otherwise, you take Penn State Plus the points where you going mad. First of all I have. I have Ah policy and acted a long time ago. I would rather do anything including read Ulysses, then watch a Wisconsin basketball game. It is one of the worst experiences mankind can ever make you do. But for this, I am willing to break that rule because we need to get off the schneid. I'm going to pick Wisconsin to cover And finish it out, Meyer and what about you? Grew up was constant Fam, a parent's, which Wisconsin There's been some good basketball players at that school, but I've also played been to a bunch of games in state college. Weird things happen against ranked teams in State College, Pennsylvania. Those games are always closed. Be Penn State to cover here. Don't have a lot of analysis for you. Except for this. I have watched Matt Jones who I very much enjoy picking correctly throughout the majority of the day, so I will just simply go the other way here and I will take Penn State. I won't even say it's my own Mom Otter, and that's why I'm taking him. I don't think that snake Do you like that? You said who are very much enjoy like that's what you would say about like eating jelly or something. People like general very much enjoy tie, so I appreciate it. Hopefully you will win and you also enjoy some nice jelly tonight as well now. Tim Bon Temps is an ESPN NBA writer. He was on the hoop collective podcast. And while he was on there doing the sort of collective hoop thing that they do there, he made a statement that I found Very fascinating. He looks horrible. And I mean, this is a mean he at this point is the single most damaging player in the league and is a millstone for that. I mean, it's I don't think it's a conversation. I mean, he's an absolute train rack, and he has the ball all the time and You look at where this team is headed. And you're looking at 100. You know, I guess we're now a quarter the way to the season. So we're down to $120 million over the next two or three quarter seasons that he's old. I mean, it's an an epic going to Houston on top of it. I mean, that is a that is a rough looking transaction at the moment, and it's hard to see where this turns around. For many of you. You probably were sitting there going. It would have been nice to know who he was talking about before he started talking. That was the problem of your dear host. Here. It was. Russell Westbrook is who he listens, is the single most damaging player in the league. Heard that comment, And at first, I was like, Oh, that's a That's a really tough thing to say. But, Joe, I think he's probably right. They traded Russell Westbrook. You could say that Houston has been better off. Not having him wall is probably better than I mean, basically was wall for Westbrook and they gotta pick and now wall seems to me to be better than Westbrook. So It's tough to argue against it for a variety of reasons, because it seems like Westbrook is one of those dudes that you just you can't build around him. You can't build a winning team around him right, like his style of play. Just doesn't work. It can be exciting. It can give you big numbers to consult some jerseys. You could put some eyeballs on the product and you can get some people in the door. So there's there is some value to Russell Westbrook because of his popularity, but ultimately it's a massive contractual number for a guy who can't deliver on it. That's the problem so I would be hard pressed to find someone else. Where now I do see what Washington did. They had to move on from what they thought was an albatross in a contract in John Wall. Houston ends up getting a steel here because walls playing great, but they wanted to get out from under that contract, so they thought maybe they take a shot here. I get it. I'll throw the name out there, and I know it's going to sound tough. Andrew Wiggins makes a lot of money for doing very, very little like the Warriors could use a hell of a lot more for the 30 million. They're paying him. Then the 17 and four he's putting up every night. Like that. Dude's paid to be somewhat in lead, and he can't even get above like league average. But he's not a bad guy, and ultimately he's playing the role they need him to play. So, Yeah, I would throw another. It's never good side. When you say Well, he's not a bad guy that's like like it is very rare that after that, it's gonna be positive that Myron is Russell Westbrook, the most damaging player in the league. I just hate e O label him that way. Russell Westbrook is a victim of the game evolving in real time and him not being able to keep up that he's a guy who plays a throwback style..

Again that I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. Darryl Writer covers the Browns for 92.3 the fan in Cleveland. Our sister station out there. Brown's Chiefs on Sunday afternoon, Cleveland has, you know it's best when since becoming the Cleveland Browns again in the late nineties, sterile and all you have to do now stop Pat Mahomes. Not not that difficult to Nasca. Welcome to the show. How are you? Yeah, not too much to ask. Right? But, you know, Hey, the Browns made a statement against the Pittsburgh Steelers. They jumped out to that big lead did not What the Asked even though the Steelers made a run for it there in the second half, but arguably the biggest win and almost 30 years for the franchise. Yeah, it is incredible and just the way they took it to Pittsburgh a week later. It still is very vivid in my mind as I'm sure it's in yours, But let's start here. The Browns good news. They got some corners back Kevin Johnson Dens award. So great. The bad news is, as I mentioned Patrick the homes on the other side, Andy Reid in the homes of averaged 38 points coming off of bye weeks in their time together, So it's the question of the week. Darrell. How can Cleveland try and contain Kansas City's passing attack? I think the same way in which they were able to beat the Steelers, and that's quite frankly forced turnovers. The Browns are undefeated this season when they are equal or in the plus column. In turnover ratio and games this season. So I think if they can force a turnover or two and then themselves take care of the football that will increase their odds exponentially. I mean, listen, the Chiefs come in with the most prolific offense in the NFL ranks. Number one overall it over 415 yards per game. The Browns do give up a lot of points per game. Nearly, you know, 26. So, um, defensively, little bit of problematic for the Browns, But I am confident that the offense for Cleveland is what is going to be able to help keep them in this football game. Yeah, let's talk about that. I mean, I'm sure you know this is a rematch of Ah 2016 Big 12 game, Mayfield, Patrick Holmes and when they did face off They combined for the most passing yards ever in a college football game. So what can bacon with Baker Mayfield in the Browns do to keep up with the homes and the Chiefs? Yeah, I think what was most incredible about that game is my home's a counter for over 800 yards Total offense quarterback seven touchdowns and Mayfield won the game. You know, we talked to Baker this week about that particular contest. Of course, they met. In the 2018 season. The chief's beat the Browns, Mahomes and Baker Mayfield. But going back to that college showdown between Texas Tech and Oklahoma, you know, Baker talked about the pressure that he felt within that game. If they had the score on every possession in the second half, and listen, I think that you're gonna be similar pressure for the Brown Sunday afternoon in Kansas City. Every offensive possession is going to be so precious in the sense that you need to put quits on the scoreboard. Preferably seven. Not threes. Because again, you know, the Browns have shown that they can score quickly, and they can also methodically moved the ball down the field on you. At my home. He only needs like 30. Seconds. Put seven on. He's crazy. Like any time you it really is any time you leave on pat on the clocks of patching the homes means bad news for you, so I looked for the Browns to try and play a ball control. Style offense on the using Nick Chubb and Karim Hunt as well as the passing game to really dictate the paper that game fast starts going to be important for the Browns are undefeated tenor know when leading at halftime as well this year, so you know they're best defense. I think Sunday afternoon at Arrowhead Stadium is quite frankly going to be their offense because Patrick Mahomes camp four points on the board. If you didn't have the football understand, right? I was going to ask. I mean, Cleveland was able to just to use a good football term. Darryl Punch Pittsburgh in the mouth right away Sunday with CHA Been Karim Hunt to me, Nate. They just obliterated the Steelers up front. They could run the ball and set the tempo of the game. You know what? Let's say they fall behind a little bit here, and it's 10. Nothing before you blank, which we know can happen. You know, it has to be more on Mayfield. What do you think is the is the is the plan for Cleveland? Go or do you think that they stick with the with the run game throughout the first? Have, you know, depending or or already think that it's game dependent? Well, I do think it's game depended, But here's what the Browns tend to do. They can just throw early in two get that lead. Then they finish off with chub and hunt. And I think that that's gonna be a similar game plan that Kevin's the fans seek is going to continue with Sunday afternoon. And and here's the thing. Yeah. Okay, Let's say that to your point, Brahms fall behind her. What has led them to this point and made them one of the Cinderella stories in the National Football League. This year is no matter what gets thrown at them. Chemist defense he doesn't boy okay, whether it's losing his entire receiving corps, whether it's injuries fallen behind a bad loss. This is just the first time since 2007 that the Browns did not lose back to back games within the same season and only the second time since the team came back in 1999 my point being They respond to adversity extremely well, There's this, you know, saying that, you know, same old brown. It's been, you know, setting here in Cleveland for years. It's part what juju Smith, Schuster said leading up to the game with the Steelers. You know, Brown's is the Browns, right? This isn't your same old Cleveland Browns team this year. They do respond to get popped in the mouth. So Don't think that you're going to see the Browns flinch if they do fall behind early talk with Darryl Writer he is covers the Cleveland Browns for 92.3.

"The 2020 10 season when he had wall and cousins to 2011 when he had Brandon Knight and they shot the ball well to 2012 when they want it with a great defense because it killed Gilchrist and Anthony Davis. They've always been different and what the mistake he made this time was then in recruiting the best players he could get. He didn't get anybody that could shoot or not enough on that's and that's problematic and They have had a real problem with the two highest rated recruits. They've gotten brand in Boston who just wasn't ready to play at the level. They needed him to play and parents, Clark One has been injured a lot and two when they struggled at point guard early they moved parents the point garden. I don't think he was ready to play that spot and it's set him back a little bit. And then he got hurt. So they haven't got much out of him at all. So it I think that they made some recruiting the stakes and it happens to everybody and in this season, Honestly, John's biggest mistake was that he scheduled way too hard. Texas Tech scheduled the softest schedule, You know this side of Sharman and they beat nobody. Not conference they want. They had won one significant conference game going into last night and still had a top 15 ranking because they're Texas Tech, and they have a great rap, and they have good players. And it didn't matter that they hadn't beaten anybody. And then they went out last night, and they were ready to play Texas and ready to beat them. And now they're top 15 ranking is a firm. I got a minute. Last question. Does conversation about the best conferences in the country right now begin with the big 10 begins and ends because Not only are they the deepest conference in the country, which they were a year ago. They are also the most power they in terms of numerically. They are the most powerful at the top. They don't have, like I said Texas and Baylor are both one type seeds or Kansas isn't far behind at Texas Tech. May yet make a run at all of them of the so they have four. Really, really great teams of the Big 10 has six or seven that could end up on the top three lines in the tournament. S O. They? That's the difference that this strength at the top with Iowa and Illinois and Wisconsin and especially Michigan, with the freshman hunter Dickinson being the biggest surprise in college basketball. They really got a lot of power, and that's that's why it's the best conference and the fact that the power at the top is a strong as it is, makes it a little bit more difficult for the teams that are really terrific, like Indiana, Purdue Get that may be close to that. Like Northwestern to get the winds they want to get. He's mike DeCourcy. You can follow on Twitter at T S and mike reading sporting news dot com..

You got bailing number two in the country you got Kansas TC was not an easy team to play the big pills at a pretty good start so far, this college basketball season covert 19 be damned. Yeah. Oklahoma State just beat Kansas, Oklahoma. Just truck. TCU hits insane, right? What's going on in the big 12. The Big Ten's getting all of the attention and look well deserves your hand is that is that that conference is remarkably deep, but The big 12 Crisp ears. Got his boys playing well, man now 11 and three and we all know you got to love it and he easy to get to, But once you're there, man you are committed and Chris Beard has got his guys playing outstanding basketball. They were down by double digits in this game of one point at Texas on and In the second half with about three minutes to go. Assault stat flash up on the screen. Points off turnovers. The second half. Texas Tech. 17, Texas zero difference in the game, especially Texas had the ball 19 seconds to play. Sided 77 the tax that defense wasn't having daemon of getting the ball back. They give that jump, Obama clung to win the ball game on the road and especially when the NC double tournament Is going to be in one spot this year. They're gonna have their own bubble environment to make sure that we're not going to have a second straight year of no big dance When it comes to NC double a tournament. You win a game like this. Even though it's January 13th on the road. Those kind of moments that if you're Chris beer, you could go back and say We're going to be terrific in that bubble environment. We were able to go on the road and win a game like this. I know we're going to be more than okay when it's all said and done. Yeah, man, And then again that second half it was locked down. Now That was old fashioned Chris Beard locked down. Getting your face forced turnovers. Transition defense. Me, all of it. That was that was a Chris Beard. Typical, gutsy, you know, just in your face defensive type win, but by the way, Mac McClain was being interviewed after the game by ESPN. Fran for sure what I'm going to read word for word how the interview ended. He said My teammates and telling me I gotta go. I respect you a lot, friend. You're the man, but I got to go celebrate with my teammates. And then he wildly ran to the locker room. He was like, Fran, We're going to talk about this. Another time of my boys need in the locker room right now. Ready? Now we're talking about this. He and their ball three right before he hit that at that game winner. As you said, me, and shooters are going to shoot you and I have since the moment that he missed that previous one. It was already out of his mind gone. Any time you have available women yet shooters to me like quarterbacks, you throw a pick. Gotta have amnesia. You can't you can't allow that to carry over. Great shooters would tell you. I'm not going to stop shooting, but it's all said and done. If I missed eight in a row, I'm still gonna take shot number nine. I believe that this shot is in my hands. The ball's in my hands. And speaking of that do that. Ignore those early air balls and made the game winning shot for Texas Tech. They beat number for a taxi on the road. Seven out of 77. Matt McLean joins us in Freddie Fitzsimmons on ESPN radio, the ESPN app and she's excellent channel 80 back. Not only did you get a great look Knocking down the shot at the struggling a little bit.

Heartland Newsfeed Radio Network
Lou Holtz talks Notre Dame and more
"Lua alluded to you as being a builder and again i go back to the interview which you had here in the studio with us and the obvious question from a person when you They asked you about the rumors you going to. Usc and you said usc is one of the three best jobs. And i said wait a minute. I know notre dame is one of the best. What's the third best job. And you said the one that i get and it turned out to be usc but the university of south carolina. And and i'm just wondering when you reflect back about taking over that program. Why did you take over such a struggling program. And what is it is allowed. Lou holtz everywhere. He has gone to be able to build success. What i foresee a we will not arrive. I think we had three offensive linemen on scholarship is all we had. It did have a quarterback and didn't have a running back to his per se. But you know you grin there you you just you try to fundamental you. Try to do the things that we talked about. Just you know. Build build the football team. And i have gone to six different situations in college and never inherited a winner and went to bow game no later in the second year with matter of fact after going on eleven we finished seventeenth a country next year and beat ohio state in a bowl game following here i think we finished loveth in the country. Beat state again on january one. But it's not because guy it's Coach it's all about the people. If team i mean it's about coaches and players. All all really tried to play their road and believe that you can do something. We read great fan support in south carolina. We were below eligible this year. We'd basically accepted a bowl bid and then of course after a little probably had with trump said in my last football game we decided not to go to a bowl game. I would've liked to vendor micro in a bowl game and yet at the same time within hayes and i'll have the same legacy Last was in clemson was involved. Refer also that's not a great legacy to have necessarily but it's a good football team. Many people coming back in. Like steve spurrier command. And you know he. He's a guy that likes to win. And i think he can win earlier. I believe that in the bud by heart. I think he's an excellent coach. I think the players will respond well to them. And i think we took a the longest losing program the country and took it to a bowl game and he'll take it from there to the championship level when you talk about coaching today And i think about francs being fired after he won nine games and i think about the expectations that go along ty willingham of course sopa but notre dame in his first year wins his first eight and then what has happened to him recently as well. What are the expectations of football coach at a major program today. Well i've been figured that basically very very impatient but you know they. They want instant success. One instant gratification and want to go the top. That the trina goes to the university of louisville inherits a very very good football team. From coach smith went onto michigan state. Now goes between things that a tremendous job but You know feel air. And he has those great athletes. They have great success. Urban meyer. who. I hired at university of notre dame you know he goes to Utah has instant success and everybody sitting there saying well. Hey he can do it let. Let's go get that guy that can do it here that we can win immediately will You know having code having smith there your quarterback as a pretty good asset to have it set about where somebody also had success. And i am sure they they look at it and say well gee they came in and they were down and all of a sudden they one. That's what we want to do and everybody all the fans wanted to two things who's going to be the new coach and he will be the next quarterback i. It's unbelievable i. i don't care you. You want to become unpopular to hurry. Go for being the second team quarterback to the i team the anything too is if you think about it and i was thinking about notre dame just the other day what should be their expectation level and i know the obvious as well to win championships but if you look at the landscape of football today lou there's a lot of teams that are able to get outstanding athletes that don't have the same requirements to get maybe to get into school There's a lot of schools have reputations of putting players into the pros and what have you so having said all of that. What should be the expectation at notre dame today as far as their season and their teams year in year out when further. Joyce hired may at the university of notre dame. He said. I wanna talk to you about a couple of things. Basically not negotiable. These are not negotiable university. Notre dame we are need understand. This now isn't even before i was ever offered the job at you. Know we we. We will not redshirt. We will not take transfer from junior. College will not take a transfer from another school against need search chain core curriculum classes for years of english. Three years of math through calculus at center players are going to miss practice because of late classes or or or labs or tutors or things along that line. The players are going to live on campus. We are going to have great facilities. You have nothing to do with the discipline but athlete on campus We don't pay a whole lot You're not allowed to president of the university. Notre dame was the rule when say they gave the president rates once that they could give me a raise anyone on all that and he said with the we're expecting to compete for a national championship at least once every three or four years and I didn't find anything wrong with ed. And we did the head it. I think that should be their expectations. Not necessarily this year even next year. But i do think They expect Charlie wise to compete for the national championship. And i think he will. The same things are saying about notre dame they said about whenever procedure went there years ago. They said it. When i was there i remember my first year recruiting at notre dame. My aunt had us fifty eight to sixty year before. I got there in their last football game on national television and You go into a home to recruit a young man that have all these That have all these articles in there. About how Notre dame can't win anymore and the schedules to tough. There's all this. And there's all that. And i just don't believe that i i think you know. The sec schedule's pretty tough When i was at university dame might think at fifty four percent of games ever coach there were against a top twenty five football teams. But that's part of notre dame you play the best you know. We played washington when they're really good. We played tennessee. We played texas We we we played Miami florida played. Florida state You just that's just the way you did it at notre dame and I don't think it's any different now. I might be a little bit down right now but yeah. I think it's going to be fine but lou. Isn't it a little bit different. In the sense. That i used to think of notre dame and you probably going into a home where you know it was. I want this kid. The kid's gonna sign right there. It was like with john wooden at ucla. I mean john recruiting because everybody wanted to come and play for john wooden at ucla during those particular years but now the competition it. It's almost like well. We've got a pro passing program so if you're an outstanding quarterback you're going to go to this score that school i mean isn't the the mystique oh most of notre dame and not to their own detriment or fall but isn't it a little bit perceived differently today might be but i don't think necessarily it should be. I mean on tv every saturday. One time when i said notre dame we had fifty seven players active in the nfl. The next was penn state with thirty nine and third with southern cal with thirty eight But we we had to work hard. Recruit again we. We found uphill struggle. But here's the different. We could go to california and would we went after navigate. It was us usc or ucla. When would end attack between us. Texas tech today and you went into florida as a youth. Florida state miami and florida. You went into nebraska to be between you and the university of nebraska. You could go anywhere in the country and you would have legitimate chance to recruit the best athlete in that state but you would have to use the beat. The home state and you didn't always do that but when they start talking about well. Nfl i want this type of program. Notre dame's not a four year decision. Support here decision. What do you do in your football's over guarantee you're gonna play in the nfl with china education. You'll get what are you gonna learn. And are you going to be better prepared to go in there. You know i was watching Tonight on tv On some sports show where they had the ten major mistake officials made and one of them was grown bettas called tails and the guy said hatch. And i had to laugh because a whole time as notre dame the first thing i said the locker room before the game was we will call tales. We always called. This was a game. But i just think that You're still a forty year decision. Not a four year decision. You talk about the only thing that's going to change it from where you are today to where you'll be five years from now the books you read the people you meet in a dream a dream and the baby. You're gonna meet university in our day and they're going to be the ones that are going to be illness companies and being. Ceo's and they're going to be the leaders that those are the people you're gonna come in contact with and then you get him on campus. Let them talk to your athletes now. The guy that doesn't feel comfortable in that environment isn't gonna get isn't gonna fit well notre dame anyway and now there were always people that didn't want the discipline did want the the challenge. Academically didn't want to have to work that hard on their academics guy that they won't be interested in the university of notre dame necessarily but one thing i used to laugh about was you would read. You would read these top twenty two football players in america. What schools air considered and other day. It'd be listed on about eighteen oven. Maybe seven of them. We were recruiting because we couldn't get in school academically. But they would always put notre dame was one of their schools Florida not because it made them look good so to speak and I think notre dame will get back. I really do because it's a national school a special school. One of the thing that i think is the lou holtz legacy when it comes to football in. It's almost like parenting. In a sense. You mentioned about urban meyer. I think a barry alvarez a host of other coaches you must feel awfully proud of the the legacy of lou holtz from the coaches that went on from underneath year wing onto other programs either as assistance or successful head coaches as well. I've always felt that. I learned this from woody. Hayes have an obligation to prepare your coaches to become head coaches. I'd always explain why we did things and how we did it. the philosophy at center. I think we've made it look simple that everybody would come in and they go. I can do that. I wanna be head coach. But i went down. Visit very alvorada in preparation for the bogue. Gabi speed come down and one time we had about. I don't know maybe a sixty some former graduate assistants were either in major college or professional that had been graduate assistant said many people gone on u. p. care coach for me at the university of arkansas. We we started him out You know monte kiffin coach for him in the defense coordinator tampa bay et cetera. Just you know it's just so many coaches you enjoy it and that's one of the reasons why you wanna talk to me. Now's not because. I prepare them but because of the contribution they made our success but not mind. There's there's their contribution to my success is far greater mike. Entre bution to there's
Chad Ford's NBA Big Board
NBA Mock Draft 3.0
"And we are back talking two thousand twenty mock draft three point o our last mock draft of the year. It's draft day draft morning. What better to unwrap and a mock draft on draft morning. it's the second round. Now now's the time to confess. I'm really terrible at projecting second rounds like you know my hit rate and some drafts has been like one two three picks in the second round. It's it's so hard to keep track of the first round the wheels to sort of come off and these picks happened like every two minutes. I it's hard to really keep track. I did my best. I project where. I think particular players can go. You definitely don't really get deep into this when you're talking the nba scouts in executives about what they're going to do in the second round. They're still trying to figure out the first round as well. So i've tried to find some fits there so this is reported more chad ford speculation. Here about what's happening. The second round starts with the dallas mavericks this pick via the warriors taking malachi. Flynn the san diego state. Junior point guard One of the guys that frankly could go ten spots higher in the draft. I actually really love malachi flynn. There's kind of a lot of point guards kind of later in the first round which may push him out a little bit. But i actually think he's the guy who could step in play right away. I would actually love him in dallas. I think that'd be great. Pick for dallas at thirty one at thirty two. The charlotte hornets are on the board. They're getting this pick via the cavs. Paul read the sophomore forward center out of depaul. Have them going thirty two. This is john. Hollinger's been super high on all year. I think he's another guy who can guard positions on the floor. I really like him. Actually think he brings some stuff offensively as well. I personally like him. Better than precious. I'm right now. Could turn out to be a terrible take. But it's kind of what i think and i definitely think he could be an excellent fit. I'm in charlotte. Especially if they end up with lamelo ball and they're gonna need to add a defensive big man. As part of that package at thirty-three the minnesota timberwolves around the board. This'll be the third pick because they have to. First round picks. Tillman the junior power forward at michigan state. Everybody loves this kid. He's he's one of these guys like high floor. Low ceiling. just does his work every day. Great rebound or plays hard. I'm ken defend going. Bring be a great locker room guy is gonna find some rotation that somewhere I like him in minnesota on a team. That is trying to go forward. I think he actually adds a bit of a veteran presence to the locker room. At thirty four the philadelphia seventy sixers are on the clock. That get this. Pick via the hawks. Isaiah joe the arkansas shooting guard who is one of the best shooters in this draft. Crazy range. High volume of three point shots philadelphia. Always in need shooters. When you're going to be playing. Ben simmons on this team he certainly constructs the floor. And i'd like isaiah joe there them at thirty five the sacramento kings Via the pistons. Dan dotson to kansas sophomore guard. Who is one of the quickest players in the draft. He's an elite score excels off the getting to the basket not a great shooter a bit undersized for his position not really a point guard that's why he slides a few spots higher but could be instant offense off the bench for sacrimento at thirty five at thirty six the philadelphia seventy sixers back on the clock this time via that pick from the mix jordan aura the louisville junior who also is one of the better shooters in this draft. He has good size vers position. Good length i'm not sure exactly what else he brings to the table besides shooting but again i'm just loading philly up i with shooters at the moment at thirty seven. The washington wizards are on the board. They get this pick via the chicago. Bulls tyler bay the junior ford out of colorado who is one of the best athletes in the strath super explosive. Really hard worker on the defensive end still just kinda coming along on the offensive. And then i think that's been a concern. He's he's one of those guys that might be a little bit of a twitter. Not sure exactly what position he plays in the pros that causes him to slide. A few picks in this draft think this is still really value. and by the way when. We're talking about a lot of these guys dotson. Tillman for example malachi flan. These guys could all end up in the first round as well. Just have them the second thirty eight new york knicks via the hornets janis ramsey. The texas tech freshman guard again volume score can shoot it a little bit We're just loading the knicks up now with backward guys that can score the basketball. I'm not sure who's going to defend in new york. But he's an intriguing prospect. He's only nineteen years old. And i certainly there's upside there with the thirtieth pick in the draft at thirty nine the new orleans. Pelicans selecting this pick for the wizards. Daniela touro the minnesota sophomore center. Who had a really really strong summer season one of the more improved players in the country very skilled at big man. I'm great size. Adding just bore skill in size to this pelicans roster i'm at the moment If you remember earlier jalen smith. I'm selected at thirteen at forty. The grizzlies are on the board. This pick via the silence. This is the first pick that the grizzlies have been able to make in the twenty twenty. Nba draft a doco as a bouquet. The kansas center. Big guy seven. Seven wingspan seven footer. Really good athlete actually just dominant player in the pain. Terrible free throw. Shooter doesn't really do anything facing the basket. But when you have that size and length and athleticism. I think you get something done in. The and kind of reminds me deondraye jordan. A little bit and a little bit surprised. He doesn't go higher. I get there seems to be a penalty on the big minner plane or pain. Right now in the draft at forty one san antonio spurs back on the on the board yama dr the israeli guard nineteen year old for hop. Well tel-aviv and you know. He's such an intriguing prospect because he plays his butt off. His incredible energy is just making a difference when he's out there but he's not really a point guard. He's kind of more of a two guard in a point guards body. He's not like a great shooter. I'm athletically he's actually not bad at all but that lack of a jump shot kinda undersized i position that makes him more of a second round prospect at he absolutely wants to leave israel and come to the nba. And if it's the g. league next year and so he could be an interesting prospect for san antonio developed down the road

How Climate Change Is Fueling Hurricanes And Wildfires
"Last week Hurricane Laura made landfall in Louisiana as one of the strongest storms to hit the region in decades to be clear scientists say climate change doesn't cause a weather event, but it is playing a role in increasing the severity of them to understand why we called climate scientists Catherine Heyhoe in a warmer world hurricanes are not getting more frequent, but they are getting stronger they're intensifying faster they're getting bigger and slower, and they have a lot more rainfall associated with them, and they would've fifty or one hundred years ago Heyhoe Co director of the Climate Center at Texas Tech University. She says a warmer world also affects the size of wildfires in. California and elsewhere since the nineteen eighties due to climate change wildfires have burned over twice the area than they would have normally because of course, you get wildfires out west that's just part of life those ecosystems but climate change the great threat multiplier. It's making them worse Professor Heo taking everything into account you just described we also can't ignore that these events are happening during a pandemic. That's already killed more than one hundred and eighty thousand people just in the United States and I wonder is that also what you're talking about when the Department of Defense views climate change describes climate change as a threat multiplier is that part of it as well? It is. So climate change takes issues that we already have that we already care about, and it exacerbates them are makes them worse issues like poverty even age for example, one of my colleagues her parents live in the Houston area they were very concerned about getting in the car and driving you know when when everybody's evacuating, it could take hours to get one hundred miles away because of corona virus. What if they ended up exposing themselves to Corona virus as they drove in for people who are sheltering in shelters typically quite crowded, we are all vulnerable and climate change is exacerbating the risk that we already face today corona virus included. And if you don't mind my raising this, you've written about being a person who considers herself an evangelical. Christian. And you're also a scientists sounding the alarm about climate change. Some Christians. Do seem to see those things in conflict and you just say that this is not true. You say that these two different commitments are actually in harmony. Could you just as briefly as you can just say why you're absolutely right in the United States and that qualifier is very important. The people who are least concerned about climate change are white conservative Protestants and white Catholics but the interesting thing is. That the most concern people in the United States by denomination are Hispanic Catholics, and of course, the Pope Roten encyclical five years ago explaining why climate change is such global issue. So that sort of shows us hey, what's going on here? It turns out when social scientists dig deeper rejecting climate the reality of climate change and the need for climate solutions is exclusively tied to people who have bought into. A right. Wing ideology that somehow this planet doesn't matter but it does it matters to everyone of us if for Christians at the very beginning of the Bible. It talks about how God gave us humans responsibility over every living thing on this planet as well as how we are to care for those less fortunate than us you know the Bible talks about the widows and the orphans and the poor. And today. Those are the very people being most affected by changing climate. So if we take the Bible seriously, we are out at the front of the line demanding climate action, not dragging our feet at the end. All right. That's Catherine Heyhoe. She's a climate scientist and co-director of the Climate Center at Texas Tech University professor. Hey. Thanks so much for talking to us once again thank you for having me.

Courtside with Seth Greenberg
Penn State Cinderella Story Continues, Pat Chambers discusses his team
"All right. We'd like to welcome in Penn State head coach Pat Chambers One. Eight of his last nine coach chambers. Welcome to the world's greatest podcast with Greenberg dockage. Dan Open things up because he is the big ten Guru Guru. I like it. Hey coach last night what happened. We didn't make implicity the voting go in the basket. That's a big leads with that. That's the truth the balls gotta go in the basket for you to win the game. I mean it was a rock fight. Both teams played extremely hard It gives you all know Brad credit for what they did defensively on Stevens and our shooters and then I was fantastic me. He was hurt for about four or five days there and he comes back and he looked healthy and strong and extra little kicking his step for sure he looked fresh. I think that's why he's able to make any place down the stretch for them. Forget about that that game. You won't eight in a row. You want eight zero at Penn State. You've got sixty wins in two and a half years already. Which is absolutely incredible. Most wins in the three year period. I think if I'm not mistaken in the history of Penn state and he's got a lot of season left. How did this group happened? I guess is the best question each. That's why he loved dockage right. He just wants to talk about the negative sake us right. Oh recent Yay balancing. I was conscious classic. Look I just think Lamar Stephen Staying? The course and Mike Walk and staying the course. The older yet veterans Guys that are loyal. Loyalty is is very. As you guys know loyalties everything these guys committed state committed to not only but the staff at each other the players in that locker room and the program so at Penn State. You GotTa get older and you gotta stay old now. We gotta stay old and Dan you were you. Were there at the pleasure when these guys were freshmen. We've played each state. You knew we building something special. We just have to stay the course. We have to be patient and fortunately city Barbara was patient And that's why you're able to to go through some growing pains and learn and get some shared experiences. And that's why you're able to you know as SEF just said sixteen sixty wins in the last three years. It's a great accomplishment for these kids. Twenty and six Penn State two games out of first place with Maryland. I think I don't think Maryland has an easy schedule. I think this could still get very sexy coach. Talk about Lamar Stevens. His his sidekicks other than Watkins are gone from that game but man is he been good. We'll real steady Really Mature Really grown up In his approach and everything he's doing from from cold cubs yoga to getting it. Sure shot's taking care of his body take and then his leadership ability and autos and in the locker room that practice is a kid. Who's you know? We only got a few weeks left of the season regular season and he still bought into the culture of doing all the little things that we need. Do to keep getting better. And that's been his message. You know he guys what we can get a lot better. We gotTA clean this. We gotTA CLEAN THIS UP CLEVELAND. So if we can do that now you really. GonNa put put ourselves better position. I mean we're a great position now but he wants more. He's hungry for more. I mean he's gotta be up there for for player of the year in this league. I mean there's I know guards it and I know thirty. Counting cash is another straight players. But Lamar Steve has got to be in the conversation. Now you played last night. You've played it for a while now without your second leading scorer Myron Jones. What what does he bring? What's the timetable to bring them back? See Dan I'm learning this thing here. I'm trying to create some news out of this question and that was the kind of newsy question. Dan's radio show now. This is something different dad. We J. for sure. Obviously we're evaluating. We want him to be as healthy as possible before we bring them back on the floor. I think we would be doing him a disservice if we brought him back any earlier. So let's make sure he's as healthy as possible so we can really contribute any safe. You know that's important kids. Safety Ethic is what Penn State's all about But to lose your second leading score and go three and one is about the depth and you guys know this you know. We've never had that type of depth in my tenure. We're talking about Mike Tenure I was never able to go seven eight nine deep and this year. We were able to do that for the most part now. Mj's down guys have been stepped. Brockton has been stepping up tomorrow. Wheelers stepping up Curtis Jones has been stepping up as long as we get contributions from everybody we. We can continue to compete. Continue to get better. Hey you mentioned your Athletic Director Sandy. The importance of for one somebody sticking with someone Santa. Barbara's been amazing Look I Texas Texas Tech. Today we need to do a case study other directors need to watch not jump the gun and go find out what might win the press conference or make the public happy I think it's she's been inside the walls here. She's been inside the program she sees what we're doing a culture wise inside a lock room. She comes to practices. She sees developing our players. And how we're getting better and You know I think it's all pay off both of us. How about the environment? I you know you go to Penn State. It's got this great name obvious identity but I was so. They had some issues with the football situation but the environment. What makes Penn state like when you when you take that job? It's a big job and all those other things it's more money and and that's great now that you're there now that you're having success. What makes it the right place for you? Because let's face it as coaches? You're only as good as last season you can you? Can you know people have short term memories I? It's not an easy job. So what makes it where you say you know what not only can I win but I can sustain it? I mean what's the key to sustaining? Besides just getting players. Yeah. I think it's buying. I think you both would agree with that right. Top top down by into what we're trying to do complete and total investment into making. Sure that look we.
