Poll question Play of the Day Stat of the day all of that forthcoming USC lost JuJu Watkins for the rest of the tournament due to a knee injury. Looks like a torn acl. And this is when the sport loses. There are times when there's injuries, but then there's injuries that hurt the entire sport. When Tiger was out, you know, for a variety of reasons, or had surgeries or the car accident like the sport is hurt. Brady when he blew out his knee or maybe Peyton Manning when he had neck surgery, the entire sport loses. And that was the case last night for juju Watkins. Because if you look at the chain of command, Paige Beckers was the national player of the year in high school. Caitlin Clark was in that same class. But this was Paige Beckers as the national player of the year as a freshman. And then all of a sudden she had a couple of knee surgeries. Then that paved the way for Caitlin Clark to take the baton. And for the next three years, she was the face of college basketball. And then you had juju Watkins last year, who was starting to become the face of college basketball. She is the face of college Basketball right now, you can't watch the tournaments without seeing her on a variety of commercials there. In fact, after she got injured, they go to commercial break and it's a Nike commercial featuring her. She's going to be in college basketball for the next couple of years. You have to wait until you're a senior to go to the wnba. You have built in stars. They're here for a while. You get to know them. And for juju Watkins, she was going to be the next. And I said this earlier this season, she could turn out to be better than Caitlin Clark as far as a basketball player. Not the phenomenon, but as far as a basketball player, she could turn out to be better than her. Women now have come back from these surgeries. Paige Beckers has come back. If you've talked to doctors or you have children, you know, women seem to be more susceptible to these kind of knee injuries, believe it or not. And having had six surgeries on one knee, just the ability to try to come back, try to come back at a high level, try to come back and be normal, whatever that is. You know, it's a challenge, but modern medicine has made incredible strides here. Juju Watkins, this will be a while for her to come back because the season's almost over here with the tournament now you have surgery probably right away, but it was. It was a shame to see that because you were going to have Connecticut and USC probably meet each other in the elite eight. And I know that people were critical of the tournament and how they scheduled it last year. We're like, why would you have, you know, Iowa playing LSU before, you know, maybe in the final? No, you want to make sure that they meet. And they did. And they wanted to have UConn and USC meet. So it's Paige Beckers against Juju Watkins. And look, that USC team is really, really good team between UCLA and usc. Really, really talented deep teams. And, you know, it's just a shame because you want to see the great players, but this hurt the sport last night. And even after UConn won and Paige Becker's in her final home appearance at 34, it was like, hey, we got to wrap this up to Gino Oriemma, because USC and juju are going to start. He goes, oh, well, let's wrap it up now. I want to go watch her. This is what it sounded like last night when she ended her tournament. Russell, top of the key, down the.
Dan Patrick
Left side of the lane.
Marvin
Goes up on Erie again, stripped by Kiki.
Dan Patrick
Ahead to Watkins for usc, down the.
Marvin
Right Side of the lane and she.
Dan Patrick
Grabs her left knee as she goes down.
Marvin
Watkins is holding the underside of her left knee in a lot of pain. Yeah, Probably a torn acl. They'll do an MRI if they haven't already done it. Maybe let the swelling go down. Here's her head coach, Lisa Gottlieb, on the injury.
Dan Patrick
I don't have an update on juju because I know that's what you all want to know, other than what the statement that was put out at halftime that she's getting incredible medical care from our Keck medicine and the people at USC and our trainers and doctors. But, I mean, I'm feeling a lot of emotions, obviously. I don't think I'll forget this night for a lot of reasons.
Marvin
So that's, you know that that's your tournament where you're get caught up in the emotion of it, but you still have to think of your players. And that's what, that's what was happening last night. This. This was a loss for the sport itself. So she's out, but Yukon advances. I'm watching LSU against Florida State. I think it was a one point game at halftime. Next thing I know, LSU's up like 30. I'm like, what? What happened? What happened? So, you know, there's a lot of momentum around the women's tournament. And did I have Coach Gottlieb's name right? Marvin?
Dan Patrick
Lindsay.
Marvin
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Okay.
Marvin
Okay. What did I say, Lisa? Oh, okay. Lindsay Gottlieb, the USC head coach. My bad. E on me. All right. We'll have a poll question here coming up, Phone calls as well. A couple other things. It's mandatory, I think, to a quarterback on his pro day, that you roll left and throw back right and throw for 60 yards to a receiver that nobody's covering. And, you know, it's the Zach Wilson. You know, Mahomes did this too. Where you go, oh, my God, did you see that? I think it happens a lot more with a lot of these quarterbacks. Most of them can throw the ball 50 to 60 yards. Is it tough going left and throwing back right? Yes. But I'm assuming that most of these guys have pretty good arms to play the position. And you saw that with Cam Ward yesterday. It's. Oh, my God, look at that. It's the roll left, throwback right. And that's all you need now. Now we can solidify. Cam Ward is the number one overall pick here. Is Cam Ward talking about going to the Titans?
Dan Patrick
I said I'm solidifying it today, locking it up they heard you. They. They laugh.
Marvin
I made sure they heard me.
Dan Patrick
So I guess off that tip, the Titans obviously have the number one overall pick. They like you. They've had you in the building. What did you want to show them today? I say not only showing them, but every other team just throwing on rhythm, whether it's three steps on rhythm, five steps on rhythm for under and a gun. Heavy play action, you know, gunfire with movement outside the park. Just showing them all, you know, understand their stuff, that I didn't get to.
Marvin
Show as much during the season, let them know that I'm capable of it. The gun. Five. I'm ready. Sign me up. He's got me, got my attention. He was very confident yesterday. And if you're an NFL team like you want that, you want the confidence of, hey, there you go. Take me. And unless somebody else wants to trade up for me. Then I started to think about this. That Cam Ward, you know, now is when you got people's jobs on the line. This is where you get real analysis behind the scenes. I'm not talking. That was courtesy of the NFL Network. This is about people who are going to tell the team yes or no. Because let's go back to Shador and Cam Ward. MAN One, two. I don't know. Is it Shador, Cam? Is it camp all along? It feels like those who do this for a living thought Cam Ward was a different quarterback than Shador Sanders. That's why you saw Jackson Dart start to move up. It's because when the professionals get in there, not us, the armchair analyst or scouts, you get the people who are really making decisions for their teams and jobs are on the line. That's why you get sometimes this separation where you go, well, wait a minute now. Shador Sanders might not go in the first round, but wait, they were one, too. Well, it's because these are the people who do this. They get paid to do this. Their jobs are at stake when they do this. Now you get it. It's becoming real. And you're going to have other draft picks who might be rising or falling, but it's because now the real people are analyzing this. And I was wondering about this with Shador Sanders. Cleveland needs a quarterback, right? Cleveland does need a quarterback. Now, I've been told that Kirk Cousins is probably still going to be in Cleveland at some point after the draft, depending on what Cleveland does. If Cleveland doesn't take Shador Sanders. To me, that says they're going to get Kirk Cousins because maybe they don't feel Shador is A franchise quarterback. Maybe you get Travis Hunter, maybe you get Abdul Carter, maybe get somebody who's going to play. Imagine Abdul Carter with that team with Miles Garrett. Okay, got my attention. I don't know if Shador Sanders can play right now and Cleveland needs a quarterback. Okay, then you would think they would take Shador Sanders. I still think that Kirk Cousins, now he has a no trade. And I think eventually after the draft he, he would go to the Falcons and say, I would like to be traded. You know, he's getting paid to be a backup quarterback. Be getting paid handsomely to be a backup quarterback. But I was just, I would just keep an eye on that. You know, the Giants need a quarterback too. Do they take Shador Sanders? If Cleveland doesn't feels like he's going to go to the Giants. But then you have analyst at the Mothership who say late first round, maybe a second day draft pick. So that's a wide disparity here. And that's why you got teams that hit on draft picks and teams that whiff because of these opinions right now. And that's what's interesting, but also scary. Where you go, we're, we're looking, you know, when you go to an art museum and you're looking at the same painting and you're going, what is that? Or you get somebody to go, oh, it's beautiful. We're looking at the same thing. But you see it differently than I do. And I still think that they're, you know, Shador may have a comeback here. You know, he had the smear campaign that I talked about. Now he might have a little revitalization here where it's like, he'll come back, they'll talk about his personality, they'll talk about his talents. You know, this is when he'll, he might have a comeback of sorts, which is still weird because he hasn't played a game in months. But this is when it's really interesting in this world. And thankfully I have somebody that I've trusted for years now to just help me look at. We're looking at the same thing. You know, when I brought this up, when he said Micah Parsons is the best player in the draft, he said, but there's baggage that goes along with him. When he said, Quentin Nelson at Notre Dame is the meanest guy in the draft, he'll be a Hall of Famer. Okay, well, he ended up being, he's been pretty good and Micah Parsons been pretty good. But I think that's the key, is I just want somebody who does this for? They know what they're looking at. I don't. I'll go back to when we were. Whose pro day was it that we were told later that he got pushed around, went to the Texans Davion clowning. And I remember everybody was like, gushing. And so I end up talking to my source, and he goes, no, lower body. And I go. And he goes, you'll get pushed around. He had one incredible play in a bowl game, and everybody thought, oh, my gosh, can you imagine? Maybe that single number two always looks intimidating.
Dan Patrick
Seven.
Marvin
Yeah. Like, man, he's wearing seven. He must be really good. And Jadevian Clowney has had a decent professional career, but nowhere near living up to the hype of what his pro day was. And here's somebody telling you his lower body. He doesn't have a. You know, you can move him. That was the expression. Yes, Marvin, the measurables for him, too.
Dan Patrick
Like, oh, he's 6 5, 270, and he could run a 4. 4 or whatever. He ran.
Marvin
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
And that big hit, it all kind of came together.
Marvin
Yeah, that one play, and it was like, man, I'm sold. Well, he came in unblocked, I think. Right. It was just. He ran and he hit the Michigan running back, and you're like, yeah. Well, I. I want to know, can you make moves? Can you overpower somebody to make those plays? If you just give him a free, you know, head start, free run at him. Looking back on it, maybe not as impressive. Yes. Seaton it. To be fair, it was an awesome play. It was a hell of a hit. It was.
Dan Patrick
And there are a million dudes in the world who don't outlive the hype of one great play in college. He seems to wear that more than anybody, but there are. There are a lot of people. Did Desmond Howard really become a better pro than he in college? Probably not.
Marvin
There's. There's a million dudes like that, but.
Dan Patrick
For some reason, Jadavian Clowney is like, yeah, but.
Marvin
Yeah, but nobody gushed over Desmond Howard's pro day. The mothership sent a team for his pro day.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, but I.
Marvin
Look at. That was the hype. Look at him. Hell, yeah. Of course. Yes. Dude looks like a superhero. He's like, straight out of a Marvel movie. Yes, but they weren't looking at him as a football player. You know, the way some scouts did that he. He can be overpowered because he has no lower body. Like, I never would have thought that. But I got guys from the mothership who just said, oh, my God, I remember that afternoon. They were, you know, that this is one of the great pro days of all time. It's in the eye of the beholder. That's the tricky part of this. I watched Cam Ward play at three different colleges and I wanted him like he had the ball and he was going to make a play, a winner. I would say he's. He reminds me a little of Air McNair, that he just, he knows how to play football. He knows how to play the position. I don't know if he's going to be as good as Eric Nair, but that's the feeling I got when I watch him. Like they're just certain guys where you go, he'll somehow find a way to win. Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Paulie the clowny hit was against Michigan in the Outback bowl. And the running back was Vincent Smith. Yeah, I'm watching the play. It looks like something in a sports movie about football where there's a guy that's too big and you'd make. Look what he did.
Marvin
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Does look real.
Marvin
All right, let me take a break. We'll settle on a poll question for the first hour. Tom is next hour. We'll take a break. Back after this.

Marvin
When we're five years into prohibition, the.
Dan Patrick
Government is starting to go, okay, this isn't working. In fact, you might even say it backfired spectacularly. I'm Ed Helms, and on season three of my podcast SNAFU, we're taking you back to the 1920s and the tale of Formula Six. Because what you probably don't know about Prohibition is that American citizens were dying in massive numbers due to poisoned liquor. And all along, an unlikely duo was trying desperately to stop the corruption behind it. They were like superhero crusaders turning the page on a system that didn't work, wasn't fair, and was corrupt. So how did Prohibition's war on alcohol go so off the rails that the government wound up poisoning its own people?

We'll talk to Tom Izzo coming up next hour. They're favored by two and a half. BYU getting five and a half against Alabama. Maryland six and a half against Florida. The biggest margin is Arizona versus Duke. Purdue getting eight and a half against Houston. Michigan eight and a half against Auburn. Kentucky four and a half against Tennessee. Arkansas is getting five and a Half against Texas Tech. Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Paul, what I love debating on these different schools is are they a basketball school or a football school? Because Arizona, they've had some success in football, but they're a basketball school, correct?
Marvin
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
How about Arkansas? Is that a football school or a basketball school?
Marvin
Well, they would want to say they're a football school, but they're a basketball.
Dan Patrick
That's right.
Marvin
Yes. Ole Miss, I would say that's still a football school. Kentucky, still a basketball school, no matter what. Still still a basketball school. Michigan football school. Purdue, basketball school.
Dan Patrick
Right.
Marvin
Maryland. Neither basketball school.
Dan Patrick
Oh, no.
Marvin
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Maryland's a school.
Marvin
School. Alabama, obviously a football school. Greg Sankey, the SEC commissioner, will join us tomorrow. Texas Tech. Texas Tech is like, there's sneaky basketball, but they really want to be a football.
Dan Patrick
They're kind of sneaky football. It waivers.
Marvin
Duke, obviously. Basketball. Tennessee. Tennessee's had success, but it's still about. That's football. Auburn, basketball. Now I know.
Dan Patrick
Oh, no, they hate that down there.
Marvin
They see themselves as a football school, but. But they're good in basketball. That's like the best slight you could.
Dan Patrick
Possibly throw their way is be like.
Marvin
Not bad for a basketball school. Oh, no.
Dan Patrick
Can you imagine waking up to that?
Marvin
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
How about Houston?
Marvin
Hello, Houston's basketball.
Dan Patrick
They wavered to being a football school a couple years ago.
Marvin
Yeah, but they've always been a basketball school. Go back to Feist, Slama, Jamaica, go back to Elvin Hayes. I mean, for decades they've. They've had. And Calvin Sampson has them usually in the elite eight, year in and year out. Sweet 16, final four, at least the potential for that. Yeah, I think. Yes. Marvin.
Dan Patrick
Texas A and M, they want to be a football school.
Marvin
It's still football.
Dan Patrick
I mean, but they're better year in, a year out in basketball.
Marvin
Yeah, but they want to be a football school.
Dan Patrick
Oh, I know.
Marvin
They.
Dan Patrick
I know what you want to be. I want to be an NBA player, but I'm a Danette.
Marvin
How about Baylor? Oh, man, they won a national title in basketball. You had RG3 winning a Heisman there. Feels like they might be basketball.
Dan Patrick
I mean, even women's basketball. They.
Marvin
Yeah, basketball. Yeah.
Dan Patrick
I love the topic. We could do all that. If you're an Arkansas sports fan, you want to be a football school. I think if you asked an Arkansas sports fan, would you rather win the national title in basketball or the SEC in football? I think they take the sec. Not the national title, football, just the sec.
Marvin
I don't want to speak for them. I don't. Especially, especially at some of these programs. I want to stay in my lane on this one. But I just, from a, you know, a neutral observer, I would say Arkansas wants to be a football school, but they're a basketball school. I mean, they go back to Nolan Richardson. I mean, they've had really good schools, really good football teams at, at Arkansas, Arizona baseball school. Yeah, kind of a baseball school. Shams made it official that Juju Watkins suffered a torn ACL and she will undergo surgery. All right, I knew that question is when she undergoes surgery and that time frame too, of coming back. But it used to be that was just a death sentence for an athlete. You know, if you looked at the financial part of this, where you go, gosh, they not going to make that money going into the pros. She's making millions of dollars right now and she actually making more money now than she would going into the wnba. Her salary is not going to be great in the wnba. She'll still get endorsements, but she's the face of a sport. And now she has to come back and become that face again. And you know, there, there's still women's college basketball. You know, you have star power, it feels like all over the country here. And Paige Beckers with her final call of, you know, maybe winning a national championship. But yeah, that was a devastating injury. And you watch the play and she kind of got bookended by two defenders there, then went down and, and you know, they, an athlete knows when you get hurt, you know, it's just. And having done this to my knee a couple of times, I was running in Central park and I was running with somebody, I said, I, I just tore a ligament. And he goes, how do you know? I said, I, I know. I just, I, I need, I'm gonna need knee surgery. And walked around that whole night in New York and then the next day went to Dr. And he said, you need to have surgery right, right away. You just know it, you feel it because it's something different. You know, sometimes you'll hear somebody say, I heard a pop. You know, that definitely. I've been on a basketball floor where a guy blew out both Achilles on the floor. We were in Denver and it was a pop pop. And he didn't even know it. Like it's one of those where he looked around and we realized what had happened. Blew out both of his Achilles. Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Paulie, you know what's the exact opposite of that, I think is the ankle. Again, I didn't play high end sports, but sometimes you see an athlete get an ankle injury, and you look like, oh, they're out for a month and then they're back in, in the fourth quarter. Like Jayson Tatum last night, if you looked at his injury and you're a Celtics fan, you're like, oh, my gosh, he's done. And then he walked calmly, gingerly to the locker room. Ankles seem to be very. You can't tell what's going to happen.
Marvin
Well, with an ankle, you know, I've had ankle sprains from high school that I, that they're still alive, that I can twist my ankle because I had a really bad sprained ankle in high school. It just, that never goes away. So when you get, when you heal from it, there are certain injuries where you heal, but you don't heal all the way. Bad back. Like, you can be like, hey, I'm feeling better. That doesn't mean it won't come back. Yes, Don.
Dan Patrick
And then there's something like turf toe, which could be very painful, but to.
Marvin
The average fan, it's like, really? You're not going to play because of your turf toe?
Dan Patrick
Come on.
Marvin
Well, I remember, you know, Jack Lambert played for the Steelers, one of the toughest guys who ever played in the NFL, and his career was derailed by turf toe. And like, when you hear turf toe, you're like, what? What it like, Come on, turf toe. And then you see Deion Sanders take his shoes and socks off and showed us what turf toe looked like. And then he got it amputated, like so it's no joke, but it's one of those where you go turf toe or plantar fasciitis. You're like a Liz Frank injury. Yes, Paul.
Dan Patrick
Turf toe, by definition is an extreme strain in the ligaments behind the toe, if left untreated, can cause long term stiffness and even there's bigger words. But where it kind of fixes your toe in a certain position and you can't move it anymore.
Marvin
David in Arkansas. Hi, David. What's on your mind?
Dan Patrick
Good morning, gentlemen.
Marvin
I was very much interested in the conversation y'all were having there. Now, is Arkansas a football school or a basketball school?
Dan Patrick
Okay. As a lifelong Razorback fan, I can remember when we were definitely football and Barnhill arena was actually our old basketball facility. You know, the team, football, they would have indoor practice in there.
Marvin
No, hold on, David. I remember Arkansas playing Texas, you know, in a national title game. I remember that. I, I go back a long ways. I'm talking about right now. Is Arkansas a basketball school or a football school right now?
Dan Patrick
We're basketball.
Marvin
Okay. That's what I'm saying. What do you want to be though?
Dan Patrick
Everything.
Marvin
No, David, you got Marvin hung up on him. That wasn't hang up worthy. Austin in Illinois. Hi, Austin. What's on your mind? Yeah, taking me Back to the 60s with Arkansas sports. Hey, Austin. Hey, fellas.
Dan Patrick
59165. Is Indiana now a football school?
Marvin
They don't their share of the Big.
Dan Patrick
Ten Conference is heavier in football at.
Marvin
This point than it is in basketball. I would say right now. Football school. Yeah, Paul.
Dan Patrick
However, Indiana sports fans would disband the football program to make the basketball program a national power again.
Marvin
Yeah. Yeah. But they don't seem like they're close. No, I mean, football team made the playoffs. You know, it's tough sledding to try to keep up with those other schools in the Big Ten, football wise, basketball wise. You would think they would be able to. To do that. But here you are firing your coach didn't make the tournament. But I would say, yeah, right. And I'm not talking about historically. I'm talking about right now. Are you a football school? Are you a basketball school? Yes, Martin.
Dan Patrick
I think the dream scenario is Florida when Florida was with Urban Meyer and then basketball had Billy Donovan and Joe Kim Noah. Hey, we're winning national championships in both sports. A pick whichever one. We're. We're great in both.
Marvin
Tony in Kentucky. Hi, Tony. What's on your mind? What's going on? I just wanted to let you in on the Jadot county talk you guys had. Yeah, I don't think Jadamian would have been as big as he was had it not been for the player right before that where it was like the.
Dan Patrick
First down but not the first down and spur. You look crazy.
Marvin
Then you had Jadavya do his thing.
Dan Patrick
And then it got real big.
Marvin
Okay, but if I took away that play from Jadevion Clowney, his college career, maybe it's easier for him to be a good player in the NFL. Like we, we were waiting for superhero stuff and it just never happened. You, you looked at him and you go, oh my gosh. Who's going to block him? And he, he never lived up to that one tackle that he had. And he treated the running back from Michigan like it rock him. Sock em Robots where you hit him and then all of a sudden the head goes. That reference. Thank you.
Dan Patrick
Fabulous.
Marvin
Yes, of course. Back in your wheelhouse.
Dan Patrick
Anything from 1976.
Marvin
Let's go. Mark in Arkansas. He would be Mark and saw. Exactly. Hey, first time caller, long time. Listener 59180. There we go. Hey.
Dan Patrick
As much as we would love to.
Marvin
Be a football school or thought of.
Dan Patrick
As a basketball school, to be perfectly honest, we're a track and field school.
Marvin
We have more track and field titles anybody in the country. And I know, but, Mark, you don't want to be a track and field school. I mean, I know you're winning, but you're. You don't want to be known as a track and field school.
Dan Patrick
100% right? It's. It's football.
Marvin
It is absolute football. Football is king. We all know that. But we're also an excellent baseball program.
Dan Patrick
I just wanted, you know, toot our.
Marvin
Horn a little bit. Nobody talks about our track and field. No, Caliperi talked about the baseball team yesterday. You want to be a football school, you're a basketball school. Your success has been basketball, not football. Totally agree. And I'll tell you what.
Dan Patrick
Calipari's done an amazing job. What an amazing job he's done.
Marvin
Did you think that after he started 0 and 5, though, Mark, I actually was not worried. I really wasn't. I had that very conversation with a friend of mine. He thought Calipari, and forgive me for saying this on national television, thought he was done. I said, no way. This guy's got a lot to prove. A lot to prove. How's that football team at Arkansas going to do? Thank you, Mark. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey on the program tomorrow. SEC is now to Bass. Now a basketball conference there. Sean in Florida. Hi, Sean. What's on your mind today?
Dan Patrick
Go Gators Is what's on my mind, Dan. Sweet 16 bound yet again.
Marvin
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
And I think Marvin hit it on the head when he said Florida is the only school that can claim. And I think we are right now a basketball and football school. DJ Lagway is going to be a superstar next year. And I just wanted to say, go Gators. You have a good one. Happy college basketball. Sweet 16 week. Let's go.
Marvin
Thank you, Sean. Thank you, Sean. Floors. Basketballish. Basketball, ish. I mean, they had. When you had Donovan there and Urban there. I mean, that was. That was a powerhouse there. But a lot of schools, you know, you put your nil into one sport now. I don't know how it's going to be with other. Like Michigan State's a basketball school. They want to be football, but they're a basketball school. But, you know, I don't know what their nil is, what their collectible is. I don't. I don't know that. But, Tom Izzo doesn't get the big time star. I mean, you got Jason Richardson's son because Jason Richardson played at Michigan State. And Jace is going to be probably a lottery pick here. But you know, these schools who have money, where's your money going? If you said, hey, we got $21 million, most of these schools are going to spend 17 to $18 million on their football team. That's what's going to happen. If they, you know, you have a salary cap with nil, most of that money is going to go to football. All right, we'll take a break. Just getting started. We got everybody fired up now all over the country. We're not a football, we're a, we're not a basketball track. And if you go to track and field, that's what you want to be known for. Just because you're winning championships. I mean, is somebody calling in from UCLA for a water polo? Let's take a break. We're back after this.

Marvin
When we're five years into prohibition, the.
Dan Patrick
Government is starting to go, okay, this isn't working. In fact, you might even say it backfired spectacularly. I'm Ed Helms, and on season three of my podcast, Snafu, we're taking you back to the 1920s and the tale of Formula 6. Because what you probably don't know about Prohibition is that American citizens were dying in massive numbers due to poisoned liquor. And all along, an unlikely duo was trying desperately to stop the corruption behind it. They were like superhero crusaders turning the page on a system that didn't work, wasn't fair, and was corrupt. So how did Prohibition's war on alcohol go so off the rails that the government wound up poisoning its own people?

We'll have plenty of folks join us, current players, some of my former teammates, hall of Famers, and wait to see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex. Okay. We'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey and try to do what energy lines are supposed to do, provide an emotional boost.

Seton, what's the poll question from the first hour? If you lived in Arkansas, would you rather a national title in basketball or.
Dan Patrick
An SEC title in football?
Marvin
That's a, it's very narrow, very niche poll question. There anything that sort of representative of.
Dan Patrick
A larger base right now, the 73%.
Marvin
Would rather win the SEC title than a national title in basketball. Yes. Yeah, I, I think if, you know, you could say that to a lot of different athletic directors, like privately, would you rather win the SEC championship in football or a national title in basketball? Randy in Washington. Hi, Randy, what's on your mind today?
Dan Patrick
Hi, Pat. This is Randy Belville up out of Blaine, Washington. First time caller. I'm 5 foot 10, 220 pounds.
Marvin
Alrighty. Awesome.
Dan Patrick
So I was kind of curious. Oregon's been to the NCAA tournament. You know, I think what, like nine times out of the last 11 years. But are they football or are they.
Marvin
Basketball or are they both? They are football. When you think foot. When you think Oregon, you think football, you think their uniforms. Now, they've had good players there, they've had good tournament runs, but Oregon to me would be a football school. Eric in Michigan. Hi, Eric. What's on your mind today? Yes. I was thinking just this year because Michigan State had a very good hockey team, you could consider them as a hockey team this year as well as basketball. Yeah, if you want to. I'm just saying from the outside looking in, Michigan State is a basketball school. Joe in Los Angeles. Hi, Joe. What's on your mind today? Hey, good morning, DP. Good morning.
Dan Patrick
58150. Thank you. As a proud UCLA alumni, I just want to go on record saying that UCLA is neither a football nor a basketball school.
Marvin
All right, well, thank you, Joe. They, they got a lot of banners there, but, you know, like every couple of years they kind of pop up and you go, all right, make a little tournament run here. Football wise, they're still trying to figure that out. Yes.
Dan Patrick
Paul, going back to Oregon, ironically, they are or were and still are a huge track and field school.
Marvin
Sure.
Dan Patrick
But the reason they became a great football school because their track and field team produced Phil Knight, who became Nike, who put up all the money for them to become a football school.
Marvin
Phil, Nike. Yep. Robert in Portland. Hi, Robert. What's on your mind today?
Dan Patrick
Hey, guys, how you doing?
Marvin
Great.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Just to follow up on this conversation, it's hard to argue that a school, you know, especially a big time program, isn't or doesn't want to be a football school. But given this past weekend with the NCAA wrestling championships, which were phenomenal, by the way, I don't know if you guys saw that heavyweight match, but is Penn State just given their sheer dominance over the last 15 years, I think they've won 12 of the last 15 national titles. Could they be considered or are they considered now a wrestling school?
Marvin
No, they're a football school. You can be successful as a baseball school at track and field. Water pole. But the outside perception or viewpoint is Penn State, you think football. And not enough people are following college wrestling. So there's other, you know, people are going to call and say, hey, what about Florida State? Baseball? Yes, Florida State's football school. That's all. That's what we're, we're just, we were looking at the Sweet 16 of schools of what they want to be, what they are. Like the reality at Arkansas is you're a basketball school, you want to be a football school, and occasionally you are, but you're a basketball school. You've had great success and recent success. Yes, Paulie, if you go back to.
Dan Patrick
Wrestling, I would say Oklahoma State University and Iowa historically are the biggest wrestling schools. Penn State, the last decade's been awesome.
Marvin
Yeah. Jeff in Ohio. Hi, Jeff. What's on your mind? Hey, Jeff. Dan. Jeff, this is Jim, not Jeff. Oh, well, my. My apologies. I'm going to fire Tyler. Hey, what about Crackensburg State?
Dan Patrick
Is it considered a basketball or football school? A great, great question.
Marvin
Yeah. Well, let me ask Seaton, who is, you know, a proud donor to Crappensburg State. Well, Todd is a proud donor to Crappensburg.
Dan Patrick
He's got buildings named after him there. Whole wing. They're all two floors.
Marvin
Yes. Crappensburg State, baseball powerhouse. Yeah. Everybody knows that. Yeah. We have the runs. Yeah. Also golf. Yeah. Actually. But huge. Baseball powerhouse. Yeah. Yeah. The Dukes. Yeah. The Crappittsburg State Dukies.
Dan Patrick
They know how to turn, too.
Marvin
Thank you, Todd. Andy in West Virginia. West Virginia. Basketball school or a football school? Seaton.
Dan Patrick
They're a party school these days. They're a party school.
Marvin
Yeah. You guys can win a national championship in that. Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Marvin
Andy, what do you have for me?
Dan Patrick
Well, that's correct. Absolutely.
Marvin
Seed.
Dan Patrick
And I can.
Marvin
I can back that up. First of all, thanks for taking my call, Dan, AKA Pat.
Dan Patrick
But just want to touch with the. With the Watkins injury.
Marvin
My daughter, she's a senior this year.
Dan Patrick
Remember the day that she was a sophomore.
Marvin
My son had a varsity game in the main gym. They were practicing in the ox gym.
Dan Patrick
Anyway, went in, they said she was hurt. She said she felt something pop.
Marvin
I was, you know, I'm the dad that, you know, shake it off.
Dan Patrick
Anyway, end up.
Marvin
It ended up being a torn acl.
Dan Patrick
Amazing what they can do now.
Marvin
The rehab was about eight months. We got a great doctor in our area, Chad Lavender.
Dan Patrick
He. He does surgery on a lot of.
Marvin
People, a lot of athletes. But anyway, just seeing that go down, it was. It was tough. Yeah. You know, this sport lost last night when. When she's not in and was looking forward to USC versus Connecticut rematch. But, you know, it's eight months from right now. If everything goes right, you can have the best doctors. You know, unless you're doing something, you know, that's in innovative medicine, you're doing something like Aaron Rodgers did, you know, with his rehab with his torn Achilles, you know, it's going to take you quite some time, the rehab coming back from that. Tough to watch last night. Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo coming up. Would he agree? Michigan State is a basketball school or football school? More phone calls as well. People fired up. Is your school a basketball school or a football school? Hour two on the way right after.

Dan Patrick emphasizes the magnitude of the loss:
"[…] JUJU WATKINS… was starting to become the face of college basketball. She is the face of college Basketball right now, you can't watch the tournaments without seeing her on a variety of commercials there."
[07:27]
Marvin discusses the historical context and potential future impact:
"You have to wait until you're a senior to go to the WNBA. You have built-in stars. They're here for a while. You get to know them. And for JuJu Watkins, she was going to be the next."
[07:16]
The conversation highlights how Watkins’ injury not only affects USC’s chances in the tournament but also disrupts the narrative and commercial appeal of women’s basketball. They touch upon the vulnerability of female athletes to such injuries and the challenges in their recovery and career progression post-injury.

"He was very confident yesterday. And if you're an NFL team like you want that, you want the confidence of, hey, there you go. Take me."
[10:14]
Marvin reflects on the professional evaluation process:
"When the professionals get in there, not us, the armchair analyst or scouts, you get the people who are really making decisions for their teams and jobs are on the line."
[10:36]
They discuss the nuances of quarterback evaluations, the pressure on Ward to perform, and how his showcase has solidified his standing with the Titans. The hosts also compare Ward to other quarterbacks like Shador Sanders, exploring how professional analysts’ insights differ from public perception and armchair commentary.

Dan and Marvin engage in a spirited debate about various schools' athletic identities, discussing factors like historical performance, program investments, and cultural perceptions.

"Paulie, what I love debating on these different schools is are they a basketball school or a football school? Because Arizona, they've had some success in football, but they're a basketball school, correct?"

Dan Patrick adds medical definitions:
"Turf toe, by definition, is an extreme strain in the ligaments behind the toe, if left untreated, can cause long-term stiffness and even there's bigger words."
[32:50]
The hosts discuss the misconceptions surrounding certain injuries, emphasizing that conditions like turf toe can be career-altering despite seeming minor to the untrained eye. They highlight the importance of proper diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation in an athlete's ability to return to high-level performance.
Timestamp: [33:05 - 55:44]
Throughout the episode, Dan and Marvin engage with listeners through phone calls, addressing questions about sports programs, athlete injuries, and specific incidents within college and professional sports.

"She could turn out to be better than Caitlin Clark as far as a basketball player. Not the phenomenon, but as far as a basketball player, she could turn out to be better than her."

"My daughter, she's a senior this year... It ended up being a torn ACL."

[10:36]
Dan Patrick on the vulnerability of female athletes:
"Having had six surgeries on one knee, just the ability to try to come back, try to come back at a high level, try to come back and be normal, whatever that is. You know, it's a challenge, but modern medicine has made incredible strides here."
[07:55]
