You're going to have the Big ten in the sec. And it's almost as if the SEC commissioner, Greg Sankey, gave his athletic directors a directive. Hey, we're more than just football schools. Let's become a basketball conference as well. And we have seven SEC teams that are still alive. But it feels like this is the Big Ten in the SEC against the rest of the college basketball world. And I'll talk to Jay Billis about what is the future with college basketball. By the way, happy transfer portal day today. Of course, it should be on a Monday after, you know, what happened over the weekend and the sweet 16 coming up. Why do we have the transfer portal during tournament play? Why do we have the transfer portal during the bowl season as well? Now, I know the timing of semesters with schools, but it's just a bad look. Imagine if you're coaching in the sweet 16, and, you know, maybe one, maybe two of your players would be playing for somebody else. And I could envision this scenario, you know, at the end of the game, and the coaches walk by, they walk by, and the players walk by. You imagine a coach, let's say he just lost or you just lost, and he'll be like, hey, why don't you get in the transfer portal? We'll see you next year. Congratulations. Congratulations. Congratulations. Hey, transfer portal. Congratulations. Congratulations. It's just a bad look. You don't need to. At least you shouldn't have it during tournament time. And I guarantee there are players who are playing who will not be playing with their school next year, guaranteed. All right, we'll have a poll question. Play of the day, stat of the day. All of that coming up. Connecticut's out. St. John's is out. Wisconsin's out. Xavier's head coach is going to the school that he knocked out in the first four, as Sean Miller is going to Texas. So he was at Arizona, had some problems there. Xavier bailed him out, got Xavier to the tournament. Now he's bolting for Texas. Welcome to college athletics at its finest. You know, we complain about the kid. These coaches rail about the transfer portal. The coaches have been in a transfer portal for decades now. It's just. It's silly when you hear them bemoan the transfer portal because coaches do it all the time. All right, Seaton, what's poll question today? Yeah, I think we'll start with the tournament, obviously. Paul sent in 1. The NCAA tournament is better with more underdogs or heavyweights. Okay. I feel like that's a. There's a sliding scale, but the key word there is more. Okay. You probably want more heavyweights, typically, but this year it'd be nice to have a few more underdogs. I can't see John Calipari in Arkansas as an underdog. Anybody is, though. I. I guess. But there's too much money in Arkansas. You know, it just. You got Walmart money down. That's not something said very often, by the way. No, but too much money in Arkansas. There. There's one family. There's a family. Ton of it, though. Y. Yes, they have too much money, but. Yes. I don't. I've never viewed John Caliper. Well, maybe at UMass he was an underdog. Maybe when he was in college as a player, but in this tournament, I guess he's the underdog. Is he the feelgood Story in this. Hey, just a little plucky. We're just trying to keep this magical run going. I mean, if this was Arkansas State, then I would go, okay, yeah, but that's not Arkansas State. It's just Arkansas. I think we always want to have that one school that gets into the sweet 16 or lead eight and you're able to go, wow, George Mason. Look at them. Loyola. Oh, that's great. What a great story. A cute story. Then we sort of want to kick you to the curb. Then we go, okay, let the really good programs play for the championship. What other poll questions do we have today? What word better describes this year's tournament other than madness? Ooh, March sadness. That's for you, Todd. This year is more like March sanity. Okay. Kind of chalk. Okay. Pretty much. All right, March nil is stacking. Nil. Stacking the best teams and crushing the smaller schools. As long as it's hyphenated, I'm good with that. We always love the hyphenated schools. March pretty much what we expected. Yeah. Doesn't have the. Doesn't quite ring the same way, but. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's got to be a better word, though, because this is not really as mad as you'd hope this year. No, but you have to have alliteration. It feels like March. Gaston. March. That's not alliteration, but. No, but you're taking. The judges will accept it. The ch from March and the ch from Chalky. It seems Marchaki March. All right, I'm going to give you a bloop for trying that hard this early. March. Yeah, March, Chucky. It's actually one word. It's the ch in March turns into the Ch of Aukey Marchauke. Okay, we're going to put that one on there. Toddler. Yeah. The judges will accept that. March March hockey. March hockey. Yeah. I don't want to say it's been boring, and it's been a little more predictable than I would like. And, you know, you had the Maryland win. That was exciting. But you haven't had buzzer beaters for the most part. You know, a lot of blowouts. But I don't know if this is the trend, you know, because we always want to be ahead of things. We want to know what the trend is going to be the next couple of years. Connecticut lost, and, boy, they're going to look at that game film and go, wow, did we have wide open looks there. Danny Hurley, the head coach at Connecticut, getting emotional, talking about his seniors. You know, I was in A coach? I don't know necessarily. I was on the hot seat going into 23. You got to ask Dave Benedict. But until these men, you know, until Alex Caribbean put on the uniform and Samson, the players change your life when you, you have such special people. He's such a polarizing guy. But, you know, and I was watching with other people and they weren't Connecticut fans, they weren't from Connecticut, but they thought that he was my, my coach because I live in Connecticut. I go. I didn't go to Connecticut. I know Danny, but he's, he's not my coach. But do you want somebody who is that passionate, who cares that that is a pest, annoying, all of those things, but great at what he. I mean, he cares. You may not like the antics on the floor and at times I feel embarrassed for him. He can't change. And it's not like it happened when he got to Connecticut, he was like this. When he was at Rhode island or Wagner or when he played, this is who he is. And if you think he's animated, you should have seen his dad coach high school because his dad was worse. But he does care. He's passionate and he's going to reload. They got, you know, three of the top 100 players. He's recruiting some freshmen coming in. He's going to have transfer portal kids as well. But I like the passion that he has. I don't like when he engages with the fans. You know, he got fiery, you know, during the loss, you know, you're calling out a foul. Was an egregious call. It felt like he was trying to fire his team up. I don't know, it was just kind of a strange eruption from him. But Connecticut, they're going to look at that and say we had our chances. A lot of wide open looks. I was accused of east coast bias as I was heaping praise on Rick Patino all last week. He's still one of the greatest coaches of all time. He is. They just didn't play well. And give Arkansas credit there. I mean, we love to give blame. Arkansas played well and they, they took it to St. John's here's Rick Patino on why his best player, RJ Lewis, was benched late in the game. Here's the reporter's question. You had RJ on the bench, you know, for a pretty long stretch at the end. Was that just because he just didn't, wasn't making him or was there something more to it? Played 30 minutes. It's a long time. So he was tired? No. Played 30 minutes and I went with other people. You already know the answers, Roger. You're asking leading questions. You already know it's so don't ask leading questions. You already know why he didn't play. Was there one play with RJ that made you sit him the last five minutes? You know he was three for 17. You know he was zero for three. So you're answering your own. I'm not going to knock one of my players, okay? He makes it worse by the non answer. In my opinion, Rick Picino needs to say, he was struggling. I sat him down. Now me, if I'm the coach, he's still the best player on your team. He's the biggest player of the year. I still want him out there. Is he one dimensional at just scoring? I want him out there. This game is going to come down to the wire. I want him out there. Maybe I tell him, let's try to take it to the hoop. Let's try to get some free throws here. He's still your best player. And that reporter had every right to because I'm watching the game. I don't know if this kid is hurt. I've watched him play a couple of games this year. Got to see highlights with him. He gets buckets. But I would have said to him, let's get something inside. Let's try to get a cheap bucket maybe and one go to the line. You know, that's what you want with the score. It takes one basket, maybe two, and all of a sudden you kickstart him. But that reporter had every right to ask that question. Look, Rick was a little frosty. He just lost to, you know, Caliperi, who he doesn't like, but they thought they had a Final Four team there. They, you know, weren't good enough to get by Arkansas. Arkansas deserves the credit. But Tino, still a spectacular coach. He is. He's a one of the top five college basketball coaches probably of all time. Got his lunch handed to him. Yes. Yeah. Resurrecting St. John's not an easy thing to do. No, but he did it. It's not easy to get kids to go play there. Yes, but he did it. Did a great job. But this happens. There's only one team who's going to win. That's it. So John Calipari could get bounced. Was it a great year? They started out 05. Now they're at the Sweet 16. John will join us. Coming up, final hour of the program, Jay Billis will recap the tournament. Also, we'll Talk about transfer portal day. You, you know, you can tell the analysts do not like talking about the transfer portal. They do not. But it's real. It's right there in front of us. It's happening right in front of us. It happened right in front of us during bull season. Kids sitting out because they're transferring and all the whispers and this is when somebody's going to get to somebody. Parents are at these games, somebody's going to talk to somebody about their kid. And you're going to have, you know, players coming and going. That's why when Danny Hurley sat down for 60 minutes and John Wertheim said, how many players do you think are already talking about the transfer portal? And he says, I think 50%. Well, John should have followed up and said, how many are you going to bring in? It evens out. He's probably got 50% of his roster coming in from the transfer portal. Okay, Everybody's a thief in this. Stop. Yes, Marvin. I saw a stat of the 80 starters in the Sweet 16, nearly half came from non Power 5 schools at one point. Yeah, well, Florida's best player, Clayton, was at Iona. Now he's going to be a lottery pick. I mean, it, it's the kid who was Oakland's best player, Townsend, he's at Arizona. I get it. This is unfortunately for us because we grew up in an era where you stayed where maybe it was three years, maybe it was four years. Now, what's wrong with you if you leave after, you know, don't leave after your freshman or sophomore year. Yeah, see, yeah, I get the, the down part of it to some degree for smaller schools. However, I, I kind of feel like you have to support kids being able to do that. It. If you're playing at a smaller school and you play really well and all of a sudden somebody's like, here's 250k to come play at this big school. Yeah, you get to play another year. You maybe play yourself in from being that of your career to maybe now I'm going to the NBA based off this one year that I have at this bigger program and I get a little bit of money in my pocket. I've support that all day. All day. This could have been mitigated a long time ago. It really could have. It's just. Nobody believed it was going to happen. And then it happened. And then all of a sudden the sky is falling. I mean, it is. It's just changing athletics, college athletics is changing right in front of us. We'll talk a little bit More about this with Billis. We'll settle on our poll question. Your phone call is always welcome every Monday. Best and worst of the weekend. We'll come back after this Dan Patrick show.

All right, we'll settle on our poll question here. 877-3-DP-SHOP Dan Wolkin, who's been a guest on this show, columnist for USA Today, the column, the headline, dan Hurley must change. There's no better time with UConn out of March Madness Spotlight. Now, I don't think he can change. Why should he change? This is who he is. But Dan Wolkin says if Hurley can conquer all of that, he can find the right balance between being himself and steering clear of these unflattering moments that make him look like a maniac. Now that UConn's championship run is over, there's never been a better time to start. I don't think he can change. This is who he is. And it's not like people said, oh, you know, Bob Knight at Indiana, you had people looked the other way. I mean, Bob Knight was different than Danny Hurley is. I mean, Bob Knight was a bully to his players. I think by all accounts, Dan Hurley has been a pretty good coach for his players. Does he get caught up in the emotion of game? Absolutely. And Bob Knight did. The refs, you know, they're out to get us. Hey, I'm. I'm the face of college basketball. You know, I understand all of this. Dan Hurley's not going away. The only you go away when you don't win. And he will continue to win. He does have the formula, you know. John Caliperi has finally admitted he took too many freshmen at Kentucky. I said it, it felt like every single year you need to have juniors and seniors. You can get a good player from a smaller school. Maybe it's a, you know, mid major, but to get that to blend in with the freshmen, because freshmen act like freshmen this time of the year sometimes. And now Calipari said, hey, I'm still going to go after some freshmen, but I'm going to sprinkle in some sophomores and juniors. But he needed to do that. John was great at one thing, but it hurt the end result, the finished product. And that was, you win one title. And I know he'll come on today and he'll tell me how many billions of dollars his players in the NBA have made. Which to me, if I'm a Kentucky alum, I'm like, I don't care. Hey, I'm really proud that Devin Booker's making $45 million. What does that mean for my program? What's that mean for Kentucky? And that's what I thought. John always missed, you know, he lost sight of you got to win games. Yes. You're developing the players. Those players are going to make that money if they're at other programs. Are you trying to tell me that some of these guys who went to the NBA, like Anthony Davis, wouldn't have benefited or, you know, made all this money if he played for Creighton? I'm guessing probably still would have been formidable. But John, I don't think developed those players to the point where you got six months to be able to do that. And maybe six months is an exaggeration. You need to have players who have played. You need to have players that will transfer in and help you. And that's what Dan Hurley has done. He found a blueprint. You're still going to get a couple of top recruits, but you're going to get those guys who can come in as a, you know, a fifth year senior. Maybe you're going to get a couple of upperclassmen. Those are the guys who help you this time of the year. They don't get intimidated. They've been in these situations. And now you have Arkansas, which he's got a roster that's not a great roster, but it's a roster that may fit what they need to do moving forward. Now he might go after more freshmen, probably so. You know, I think he loves the chase. I think he loves to be able to say, but Kentucky's different than Arkansas unless you're paying. Kentucky can pay. But he would get everybody that he wanted. It felt like now at Arkansas, you're not going to. But I think this can make him actually a better coach because he has to be a better coach. Yeah. Paulie. It's also a little ironic. I was watching Kentucky yesterday and I didn't watch a lot of Kentucky basketball this year, and they looked awesome. And you know what else? They look like grown men. And so I looked at their roster. They have six guys who average 10 or more points per game, five seniors, one junior. There's not a person in their top six that's under 21 years old. Yeah, there's that moment that went viral when Danny Hurley is walking to the locker room and he sees the Baylor players. You know, Baylor's playing Duke, the game after theirs, and he goes, I hope the refs don't bleep you like they bleeped us. I hope they don't do that to you. Baylor and belief isn't for help. Yes. Yes. You know what makes that statement weird isn't that he said it to me necessarily. It's that no one can really identify the call that he's upset about. I know, like there. There wasn't an obvious, you know, if somebody say, I don't know, took three steps and hit a game winner and nobody called it, maybe I would be upset about that. I'd be like, wow, they really screwed us. But there really isn't that. There's kind of like a. I don't know, Alex Caravan maybe was fouled some point in the second half that could have been called, but wasn't. I. I don't know. I don't really know what the one is that he's like, that's the call that really screwed us. Yeah. And that's what surprised me. I'm like, I don't know what he's angry about. It felt like he was trying to fire his team up or I guess, I don't know. And look, coaches can. There can be a. A smaller incident, but you erupt because of something that happened prior to that. It's not always that. Boy, you went off after that. There's. It's like if you have an argument with your wife, it could be over something silly, but there's other things that led up to that that you did, you know, get fiery and then it's something silly. Yeah. Paul, I think Danny Hurley is not used to losing in this stage. After the past couple Years. And it can't be him, and it can't be his players. So on the way out, it's much easier to blame the refs in that moment of anger. Now he's going to look at that game film and go, we had our chances. This wasn't about the officials. This was about you guys played. Played well, as he said, played with honor. But you missed your shots. You had your chance to take down Florida. Had your chances. All right, we'll get to phone calls coming up. The play at the end of the Maryland game, was it a travel, and would you have called it a travel? Derrick Queen hits the game winner against Colorado State. I didn't think it was travel in today's basketball world. And if you watch college, I mean, they're doing the same things that the NBA does, the way they carry the ball. I mean, it's. It's basically the same kind of game. Would I have called it in that moment? No, I wouldn't have. I mean, that's one of the buzzer beaters that we've had. And, you know, Queen had 17 points. You know, he's a really good player. He's going to be playing in the NBA next year. He got his. He. He got to the hoop. You know, they forced him to go left, and he went left and then, you know, got the jumper, banked it in. But I. I wouldn't have called it a travel. Yes, Marv, with the naked eye, looking at it live. It didn't look like a travel until you saw the replay. Yeah. And I was like, oh, that looks like three steps. I know people are gonna say, up, gather. I said, he gathered that first step. I know. Two more steps. Look, I. I don't like how we interpret travel or giving you the gather step. Like, I didn't have a gather step. Like, what. What is that? And all of a sudden you get a. So I go, yeah, that. That's a legitimate call. It's not a. It's not a travel. Would it have been a travel 10 years ago? Probably so, yes, Paulie. I think it was a clear travel by rule. But with 10 seconds left, I always think the refs take a little off the gas with calling if he plays like that. And so if they're going to lean, they're going to lean towards letting them play. Not saying it's right or wrong, but I think that's what happened. Yeah, I was okay with it. I mean, I've seen worse, let's put it that way. Yes. Todd and slow motion, obviously, always Makes things in general in sports look more egregious. And Gene Stereotor joined the guys in the studio and was talking about what if you may not have had full control on one of the steps. So you got to take one of those steps away. If he. If he didn't have complete control in his hand. He was trying to explain why it wasn't like three full steps or why you can wink at that in that situation. It's because we've. We've expanded. I don't know. You know, there's more leniency. It feels like that they let you get away with more things. Yes. I don't know if it's as much leniency. I think that's part of it. But I think that people especially say, like James Harden, he's perfected the steps to the point that it looks illegal, but it's not. I think what happened with Maryland was a clear travel, but I think that there's other instances where it's like, wait, that dude just took, like, five steps? And it's like, no, actually, he really just took the. The ones that he's allowed. It just looks like it because they're actually that skilled and that talented that they're able to do that. I'll ask Billis about it, what he thought, but I guess in today's basketball world, it wasn't a travel. It. It, you know, 10 years ago, it would be. Yes, that's why. And those moments, too. I love what Gene Steretor does. I think he's great at it because I know he's not a basketball guy. He's not a college basketball guy. He's not anything basketball guy, really. But he speaks referee, and all he's doing is translating for you. This is what the rule book says. And then I can translate how to speak referee to everybody else. Well, here's what. And you're like, wow, that's how these dudes look at this. That's crazy. You need, like, an interpreter in between the referee and the fan to explain. Here's the thought process, here's what the rule says, and here's why. The what they called is correct. Aaron in Orange County. Hey, Aaron, what's on your mind today? All right. Thank you. Paul in Iowa. Hi, Paul. What's on your mind? Hey, Dan. Long time no talk. Well, after Darren Devries, native Iowan, did not see the University of Iowa as attractive enough, the University of Iowa Hawkeyes are hiring Ben McCollum after one year at Drake to be their next head coach. Now, my Question is, Drake prioritizes basketball. It's their only thing on the national stage, really. At Iowa, not only is football bigger, but you get outdrawn in the same arena by wrestling and women's basketball, who also has a higher nil. Would you leave Drake for Iowa? Can what he's doing at Drake be sustainable? Does. Does he love being there? Look, I'm. I'm a loyalist. Like, I believe in that, that, you know, I stayed way too long at espn. I. I don't begrudge anybody, if they want to go someplace better, their lives. And, I don't know, you know, the difference in money you're coaching in the Big Ten. Drake, he got players, you know, that were Division 2 players. It's tough to be able to do that, continue to do that, but I don't know if it's a better move for him. I'm guessing it is, but it was only one year. I get disappointed with that because if I'm coming to your school to play for you, and then all of a sudden you're gone. I mean, players do go to school to play for coaches. They. They go to play for the style that they play. And this is where I'm glad that players, you know, they. They can decide if they want to go as well. Yes. I think the problem before that was players were trapped in the school. Yeah. And now they're not. Right. So now they can move. So to me, that eases that problem a little bit of. Like, I was going here to play for this coach, and now he's split. You're not trapped into staying there anymore? Well, yeah. It used to be you had to sit out a year. Imagine if I said to a coach, you can transfer to Iowa. You have to sit out of here. But that's what they did to kids because they didn't want, you know, total anarchy. Yeah. The other thing that I think, too, is that the days of it, well, that's a football school, so they don't care about basketball is over. SEC has seven teams left in the Sweet 16, and six of them are football schools. Jay in Delaware. Hey, Jay. What's on your mind? A.B. good morning. Good morning. One best and two worst for the weekend. My best being from Maryland, of course. Maryland having that last second win and first worst. UNC busting my bracket for some reason, with them making it in, I had this feeling that they were going to go to, like, at least the elite eight. And then that St. John's in Arkansas game officiating. To me, I feel like just Ticky tack fouls and absolute worst three pointing, three point shooting I've seen ever in the tournament. I think, yeah, you can shoot yourself into a game and out of a game and these players in college aren't good enough, not consistent enough like you have in the NBA. Therefore you can be blowing people out. Everything's great shooting threes. Now all of a sudden you're not hitting threes. You're one and done. Gene Steretor was a college basketball official. Now of course is the CBS sports rules analyst. But known for being an NFL official, he worked college basketball from 1997 to 2018. He was in the Big Ten, the Atlantic 10, the Big East. So he knows college basketball and now working as a rules analyst for cbs. That's my bad. I associate him with football for some reason. But yeah, clearly he's. Yeah, he's qualified to do that. Brady in Indiana. Hi, Brady. Hey Dan. 6 foot 225 and salty. Got a question for you. You talk about all these mid major kids playing in the sweet 16. At what point do these power coaches start arrangements like they used to do with Chuko and say I'll send you a kid for a year and then you can give him back to me and we make these backdoor deals. I don't rule out anything, Brady, I don't. But who knows if that coach is going to be at that school when you send that kid back. Hey, we're going to give you a, we're going to loan you this guy for one year. These guys are trying to advance from being a mid major head coach. Noah in New York, I know what's on your mind. Adp real quick. I just wanted to thank Dylan and Marvin kindly. The second I heard Dylan betting against the U of A against Akron, I knew we were through to the first round. And then Marvin for declining my pie to the face bet for his very own two time champion UConn. Because once they went down, I knew that bad karma had sweet Arizona in the sweet 16. All right, well, congratulations Noah. I am hearing from some Arizona fans, they're like, yeah, what do you think of the Wildcats now? Because I hey, as a four seed, good. As a one seed, not good. That's always been the problem. I'll be like, Arizona, you know, this is the year, this is the year. And then all of a sudden they get bounced early. And I said, I will not be fooled. If Arizona was the number one seed, I would not have bought into them. But as a four seat and look, they advanced, good for them. It's about time. Yes. Paul, it's like you're buying a stock a little low. Arizona is a four seat. That's attractive. Yeah. Let's take a break. We'll settle on our poll question. It's a two part poll question. Was it a travel? Would you have called a travel on that final play in the Maryland Wimp 877 3DP Show. Play the day.

We'll get to more phone calls here. Best and worst of the weekend. What you saw that you liked, you didn't like. Here's Maryland's head coach, Kevin Willard, talking about the final play. Maryland and Colorado State. I asked the guys, I said, who wants the ball? Because sometimes you can draw something up for a guy that maybe doesn't want the basketball. And he is exact words, I want the MF ball. And so once he said that, it was a pretty simple decision. And everyone, I could see everyone's body language kind of perk up a little bit because he was so confident in that fact. He wanted the basketball. So it was just a simple zipper. Give him the basketball and let him go to work. Who in their right mind would say to their coach in that moment, I don't want the MF and ball. Like, I, I can't imagine that as a coach, you don't have to ask. I mean, this isn't Hoosiers with Jimmy Chitwood. Like, coach, I'll make it like this isn't I. I'm like, that's my best player. He's going to be a lottery pick. You get the ball, you guys clear out and let him go. That's it. But I can't imagine you're going to have, you know, the big man going, I don't want that ball. I'd be like, why don't you sit next to me then? Can't imagine you're taking inventory in a, you know, situation like that, who wants the ball? I would. Everybody should have said, I do. I want it. Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of this program. We'll get to your phone calls I mentioned. John Caliperi will join us. Bill Simmons from the ringer. Jay Billis will join us. Coming up next hour, a little bit of football news over the weekend. Jameis Winston in New York with the Giants. I still think that they're probably going to draft Shador Sanders. You got to have somebody. And I, it's just what's strange is you want the veteran to help the rookie. I don't know if I want Shador Sanders learning from Jameis Winston. He's a character, but I don't know. Aaron Rodgers met with the Steelers on Friday, eight hours. He met with them. Guessing there's probably a physical in there, but maybe Aaron Rodgers gonna play football. I know that, you know, and we had Diana Rossini on who is an NFL insider. And I felt bad because at the very end I said, hey, let's just guess where Aaron Rodgers is going to go. I just guess. Not a report. Kept saying, not a report, just a guess. Just a guess. Well, some members of the media, some outlets treated as if she was reporting that which was unfair to her and wrong by these, you know, websites. She was guessing. She even said, I'm guessing. And I felt bad because, you know, people are piling on her and all she did was guess that Aaron Rodgers was going to end up in Minnesota. That was it. And we even kind of went above and beyond to say this is just a guess. It's a guess. But people looking at that, listening to that and then it's they want this to happen. They want to have something. They're dying to talk football now. You know, a lot of these play, they don't want to be talking college basketball. They want to talk football. Give me something to talk football. And they got it with Aaron Rodgers. Now you have it with Aaron Rodgers with the Steelers, Jameis Winston to the Giants. But I still think they're going to take Shador Sanders. Tim in Vermont. Hi, Tim. What's on your mind today? Hi, Dan. How you doing? I've never called a sports show. I'm a casual sports fan. But oh my gosh, did you guys miss the play of the day? The play of the day was 2nd Lt. Wyatt Hendrickson of the Oklahoma State Cowboys beating Olympic gold medalist and two time NCAA Division 1 National Championson Gable Stevenson. It was unreal. Well, I'm aware of the story. Paulie is actually going to do a look in a little bit later on in the show. But yeah, that was a huge upset. And men's wrestling, I think President Trump was there to witness that. Yeah. Wyatt Henderson is Oklahoma State, and it was, he basically hit a three pointer to end the match to win it. That's one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Yeah. I don't think Gable had lost and he won a gold medal at the Olympics. Plus his name is Gable, after Dan Gable. Yes. Yes. You're destined. Yeah. So if you're watching on Peacock, by the way, our streaming partner, thank you for downloading the app, Tim. Make, make sure you do that. We'll show you that wrestling moment there. Alec in Oregon. Hi, Alec. What's on your mind? All right. First time, long time. 5, 8, 16 3, slimming down for competition. Nice fan for 20 something years. Used to listen to you on my Walkman scrubbing houseboats in Janssen Beach. What are the odds? The first time I call in someone takes my best and worst of the weekend. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go. Three worst, actually. Worst. I got my best and worst stolen. Second worst. The two guys that Gable beat are friends of mine that I trained with a little bit back in Minnesota. And my extra most worst is my Gopher women's hockey team taking a beating from Wisconsin six to two in the frozen four. And Dan, I'll leave you with this. I got two sons, Sterling and Atlas. Sterling's two years old and every day when we wake up, eat our breakfast, he wants to watch the Dan Patrick show. So thanks for all the years and you guys are the best. So shout out to Polly. Met you in Minneapolis. All right. Thank you, Alec. All right, so he had some bad, you know, had some negatives there, but then a positive, his two year old watching the show. I think he said his name was Sterling. Was the other one Atlas? Wow. I, I, I met somebody whose son is named Atticus. I met somebody who has a child named Poseidon. I met somebody who has a son named Attila. Yeah. Yes, Todd, Is that because the pregnancy was an adventure that you would go Poseidon? That's an interesting name to go with. Thank you, Todd. Look. Yes, Paul, Is there another Attila that you'd name your kid after? That was more of a positive role model because the Hun guy seemed like a bad dude. Yeah. Just what I've read. Okay. One hour in the books. J. Bill, my son Genghis and his brother Khan. Yeah. One hour in the books. Two more to go. Jay Billis from the Mothership will stop by more of your phone calls as well.
