The Great Tricycle Scandal (2/6/20)

This is dry when Josh Graham drive. This support is there isn't a college basketball coach in the country with more freedom to speak on whatever subject, he wishes to then coach And this week he's chosen to sound the alarm on this. The overall state of the sport thing, forward thinking reforms are necessary for the sport survival over the next 10 years, but even beyond that.

And of course he's right college basketball has been reactive, not proactive for the last few decades, and this has to change very soon. I say this as I attended a Greensboro swarm game last night. I look at the way the G league has changed in the last couple years not just talking about the name of the league altogether. But how they're getting set to unionize, how basketball at all different levels has become more assessable.

I think college basketball at least its leadership has gotten fat and happy, but when I say college basketball. I'm really just talking about the folks in that office. The bureaucrats in Indianapolis at the NCAA coach K he's advocating for somebody to be an advocate for college basketball. He wants to have in Adam Silver a Roger Caddell you fill in the blank for college basketball because the way it works right now if there's an issue in the sport. The person that speaks on is the same person that represents all the NCAA sponsored sports that is Mark Emmert the NCAA president.

If you have specific issues in your league you go to your league commissioner like John Swofford who was a guest on yesterday show this isn't new for coach K either coach. I remember him saying this six or seven years ago. Hey we need to have an updated progressive modern college basketball not one that resembles what it was in the 60s and 70s in terms of other sports. Getting commissioners as well. Coach K told Stadium. He said collegiate NCAA football runs it big time in terms of the NCAA's attention.

What we don't do it.

We don't do it.

It's sad."

So football is fine. Football is the breadwinner in college sports. I'm not breaking any news there, but here's coach K from I think this is from Packer in Durham on the ACC network this morning. Just a couple days after he spoke on this issue.

Initially following the blue Devils win against Boston College.

This is a billion-dollar business Senate in the last few years.

It is changed dramatically with the checkout, Lisa rices's commission denied commission. All these different things and people say get rid of on and on and it's got all going to be okay. It's not to be okay. I think the one Don has been filling iced. I was surprised that was the primary focus by that Condoleezza Rice led commission on basketball.

Hey, if we get rid of this. Everything is going to be fixed. You had the recommendations involving agents getting involved, but it was only for certain prospects and if they chose to go to college basketball versus the MBA or overseas.

They couldn't represent that athlete anymore. So what's the incentive for that agent to do what's really best for that kid. There were a ton of problems with that rice commission but I don't think really solve a lot of the issues.

When you look at players to go to the MBA.

Yeah, the one in Dunn's gunnel allows Zion Williamson Lebron James Anthony Davis to jump from high school to the pros, but there are just as many maybe even more. Kobe whites out there that didn't think they were going to be one and done players that were by the time the season ended, so I think were to find the one and done it seemed to be this big bad wolf but it wasn't really a problem with college basketball.

It would be great if you had a commissioner of sorts like Coach K's pointing out to help rectify a lot of these things to be an advocate for specifically college basketball related matters.

Robert Walsh is the producer of the show so your Dylan and the Law offices of Timothy D Wellborn studios as well learn about all the waste and Wellborn can help you online@someupper.com. You'll know when you need us spigot of the ACC network. Jordan Cornett could be here in about 25 minutes. We have an update on Brandon Robinson status ahead of North Carolina Duke which will get to in just a minute. Robert has a theory for why coach K is sounding the alarm this week and you've heard me say that the phrase the squeaky wheel gets the grease right so I think Coach K is kind of bringing this to the attention he we need to start we need someone to step up so when he's done coaching that can be his job. He's trying to office manager himself like Pam did in the office.

Is there somebody better then coach K to fill that role.

I can't think like he is one of the most powerful figures we have is not the most powerful and college basketball. How about we just let Bill us to everything. Phyllis is already the got it perfect. The guy who tweets out young GZ lyrics each morning. Every morning he should be the person who advocate for college basketball, crushing referees and doing all these things that he still call the games. I mean you're the guy representing college basketball you can kinda do what you want right arm and he's making his own rules. So will go coach K or maybe Jay Bellis filling that role. Here's more from coach K highlighting specific things that concerns him about the future for college basketball.

Now the world is moving fast. The G league diskette is unionized high school basketball is on TV quite a bit. You know those are competing factors and the fact is that the MBA is a business on ESPN is a great association with the with the MBA.

They're going to promote the things that will help the MBA. This is actually something interesting that I'd like to explore if it gets to a point where the best prospects and there are enough of them feeling like they're qualified to jump to the MBA if they decided they be in ESPN to just broadcast a league of the best high school basketball players how much success would that have if it was behind the promotion of ESPN because the MBA.

They have been happy with college basketball this year should be very alarming for a lot of reasons. There are no great teams in the sport for one the G league coach K said they are unionizing.

They've taken steps, I believe, to begin unionizing. I don't think that is gospel to this point, but it's bound to happen that Adam Silver once that's what the players want. Usually when both sides want something, it ends up getting done but just going further more kids are going overseas. The NCAA handing out NOAA's after the FBI wiretapped their coaches the MBA they been displeased with this they don't like a Dennis Smith Junior having to deal with negative headlines that had nothing to do with the MBA whatsoever like the fact that he was included in all this FBI investigation nonsense regarding NC State Mark Gottfried Orlando early and company like it's not a good look for the week and silver spoken on it a few times saying that he's been displeased with it. Is that something that would pick up traction. I think I heard somewhere else.

Coach K saying hey that's something that if they broadcast people were going to watch that stuff like if the MBA promotes it. If ESPN promotes it. You bet that something that they're going to look at on twitter at sports of Triad.

You can tweak the show there 336-777-1600 is the phone number if you'd like to chime in that way about this.

This is a quote from coach K telling Stadium.

How many high school games do you see on TV now I see the future of I see in the future, a high school mega league that has a TV contract cannot happen. You bet your butt. It can happen, especially if those kids aren't going to go to college. MBAs can want to promote these got the NCAA. It is way behind on its business model. It reminds me of a lot of great businesses in America that got fat and happy, thinking that their way of doing things is always going to hold up, and then eventually they get passed by time. It's the innovative forward thinkers. Even if you are already successful before that survive. I brought up the example of IBM, they were not in the word. They were not in the typewriter business in the 70s.

Everyone that was in the typewriter business died folded if they viewed themselves that way IBM viewed itself as the word processing business and as a result, they survived looking at technology and ways to push forward radio people such as myself. People who view us. What were doing here as the radio business. I think soon will pass because just as many people are listening to this in their home. On one of those Alexa's are one of those Google homes listening to this on a podcast, then they are in the radio so it's more audio distribution than it is radio, the people that is view as radio business are probably going to get passed by college basketball needs to realize their business model was old back when it was just millions of dollars. It was bad and I know it's not a hot take the city NCAA isn't awesome but back in the 70s and 80s. We had a lot of the same things in place the business is just gotten bigger with less regulation.

Coach K's pushing for more of that. And if the NCAA wants to be around and not be passed by by the G league or a high school mega league or whatever the future is to be. They need to stop being reactive and be proactive moving forward.

The update on North Carolina basketball of the season from hell this nightmare season for the Tar Heels continues to get worse.

Roy Williams says Brandon Robinson is going to be out for the next 2 to 4 weeks, which means he's going to miss the Duke game on Saturday and if you look at the injury timeline for Robinson.

He missed the start of the year with an ankle concern, then he injured his ribs. He entered his foot somewhere along the way. Just when you thought he was out of the woods with those injuries. He gets into a bleeping car accident that he was not responsible for he misses again with his neck being hurt. As a result, and now this is his ankle again so I really feel bad for him. You look at the injuries North Carolina losing call Anthony for a month and 1/2, Sterling Manley. He had surgery on his knee last May, then it didn't recovery needed surgery again without playing any minutes that happened to December. He's out for the year, Anthony Harris got hurt in the Yale game out for the season and you can add this name to the list as well. So it really just is been the strangest case for North Carolina nobodies get a feel bad for them because the name of the front of the jersey and how much success that they've had. But it hasn't even just been the injuries.

This is what I need to keep stressing the Tar Heel fan the grad transfers not delivering that's just as much a part of this is well. We had massive expectations for what just appears and Krista Gilley could do, and neither have met those expectations. North Carolina didn't think Kobe white was going to be a one and done player. Can you imagine what the backcourt would look like it was Toby and call Anthony those results. That's just as much of an influencer as well. So I'm fascinated to see what can happen Saturday night will be there as this is day four of Duke North Carolina week Saturday 6 o'clock tip college game day to be in the Smith Center as well.

On Saturday morning coming up the new guy responsible with fixing Wake Forest basketball. Speaking of things that are depressing. This is the drive third try with Josh Gray smartly vicious monster and he knows his horse back to the drive Josh Graham on sports hub try Coronet of the ACC network now, because I like making judgments on small sample sizes using call Anthony for the first month of the season and the last two games returning from injury Tar Heels getting set for Duke course in Chapel Hill on Saturday in what ways can you comfortably say today North Carolina operates differently with number two out on the floor preoperatively with number two on the floor and I think it become. They are become sorted, knocking anybody by saying that I simply whenever we start all dominant became differently.

The half-court and you become a guy that says will see what the fark does and then we as role players will react to what time are coiled that out there start at times. Armando Baker not as big store like autoplay caught hundred had the numbers and cures the book to the return of: that's because Joseph Brooks became the dominant option when times were turbulent and there are a lot of they will get it to Garrison Brooks will look forward now the top of the key with the triple triple triple guy who was the score 26, he scored a return versus Boston College but then see the 523 performance.

The following day. There needs to be a cohesion between the two in understanding that the balance touches between Cole and Garrison broke.

It starts with the decision-making and trust of: going up against Ray Jones. In all likelihood Saturday night. Trace an excellent defender who shut down his fair share of guards Marie Pons and Toby white last year immediately come to mind for me. However, in Duke's losses.

It's been dribble penetration from the guard spot that's killed Duke on a handful of occasions.

How do you think the results of the tray Cole matchup Saturday will play into the bigger result in every game in the call whomever matchup specially with one of the top 20 players in the country and Trader Joe's going to get what else he clearly wanted top 20 players in co-equity. That's where the game could very well be one if I North Carolina go on thinking we have to big bitter pro ballplayers as well. Going back up. They can't we feel like we can challenge it without perverted Carrie nearly found out there last year and neglected. They played and you look at the other big sport the Laurier Jack White. We have maybe an advantage talk and I would think yes. So thinking. Where can they beat where can they witness game despite the shot blockers and a strong defense of Duke. I would imagine they locate the paint and say let's go there so North Carolina truly went you'll need a productive call Anthony but you will need an established inside. You can get started. I found troubled that they could get entirely different kinds of national played year and is walking you can make them vulnerable on the inside all the starting becomes a much more even accepted anybody with laboratory coronet with us from the ACC network. Follow him on Twitter at, you guessed it, Jordan coronet this weekend. He's going to be on the call for Miami at Florida State urinated from Cincinnati with the Notre Dame so you have different perspective than some of our other guests.

We've had this week and every day we that a former blue devil and a former Tar Heel want to talk about what the rivalry means Duke and Carolina in the history of it. How much was this game on your radar screen. Growing up watching college basketball far away from you. Give me a minute, then everything and I think that's why we say without wavering the that's rivalry in all of college sport are college basketball not even need just a small 8 feet. The current national scale, not basketball, basketball, football and sport you want to take a leisurely it's the best Robert because it generates an interest from people from all across the country. Growing up into fatty Ohio. I had to watch the bachelor.

I had to see them because they posted the best bars in our game finishes and what the record was Duke with the record was for Carolina what appeared in the other. You still working at the moment because Army pros were on the floor because of the be insured but mutual respect between the teams best moments there and tell my family to college baffles them from this matchup so the Carolinas, my interest would've been the same. A very high one because I was walking on this matchup just because Caroline is down right now there is no reason for me to believe that this will delivers great moment and be a very good and what I grew up in North Carolina and this game is always appointment television, but the coolest thing was when I lived in Colorado for a short while some may I remember was the first to Carolina game and I didn't know people working to have much interest in it was like an event in the middle of the town where they had a viewing party for this game, and most are. Never say oh yeah were all were all were Duke town here watching Duke play North Carolina and I thought was just craziest thing in the small town of Colorado that was something that was on their radar screen. Even but I think you can expect that a little bit as well. Last thing Wake Forest gave Louisville scare last night as did Boston College with Duke earlier in the week and Tar Heels with Florida State. I believe I'm getting the best combination of depth talent and experience with the Louisville Cardinals so I give them the edge over the other two great teams in this league. FSU and Duke. Of course, where do you lean when you look at the top three great question. I want everybody started to focus on now is a big drop off after three where five work five. Become sick so I doubt it very clear? You could lie low for the team that went to do could be to the Florida State unit what what the Louisville and knock off all their domino effect. It is hard to translate anything to come out of that these three teams share a common theme there three deepest themes in a conference without question it through the deep. In the country.

All three teams played nine even at times 10 guys who are very viable contributors to the operation because of that it separates them from the packet had leaving. These are three legitimate final four contenders Duke has a go to guy. Carrie will go to guide toward war didn't go to guy for Florida State at five make Devon Purcell if you go that route, but Florida State's ability to dictate how a game could be played 40 minutes is different than a local local takes a little bit of time to get out target but then they will overwhelm you with the fact that they have not guys who can legitimately score 20 point Duke's portability they could put up 20 in a blink and be up 15 and again be over so in the Very differently but the fact that there so deep different things stick out to me with all three teams and for that reason, I Confidently say one is better than the other.

I like all three for very different reasons that all three have a very similar shot to get to this guys great-niece all over the place. It's due to coronet of the ACC network on twitter at Jordan coronet watch him as he calls Miami at Florida State in Tallahassee Saturday at noon.

Appreciate the time Jordan mantra will be chatting sometime shortly just very much appreciate your mail to Gannett due to coronet ACC network.

While that's going on. Robert Walsh and I would been kind of keeping tabs of what Roy Williams had to say at his press conference ahead of Saturday's Duke game and Brandon Robinson. He's going to be out 2 to 4 weeks with a sprained ankle. The injury was sustained last Saturday against Boston College Sawyer.

What did you do Sawyer what you do to Brandon Robinson you go to one game and this is what happens.

Also, you were at the Georgia Tech game to what are you doing I think they were on a big losing streak when you are going to the games I'm going to the Miami game regular when so II think this is me. I don't know what I did make a trip by accident and he just bumped into me interested, ankle, knee, whatever it is like you just made a glass right now so I don't know if he's made in class. I think it's is one of the things where this guy is being asked to do more then I think he signed up for when he went to North Carolina but if he sustained the injury last Saturday. That means it's already been about one week. So if it is the shorter end of the spectrum.

The rod is a tough guy, there's a chance he could be back as soon as maybe not next weekend but the middle of the following week, but is not to play against it really says that he's in a walking boot. Obviously that's not a terrific sign at this moment, so those are just a couple of things to take away from what Roy had to say.

A short while ago.

So Barry get to be honored on Saturday. He was the most outstanding player in the final four a few years ago Sawyer shaking his head. I think you probably think it was Kennedy Meeks.

That's usually the argument in place. We saw JB last night playing for the swarm and Sawyer apparently is locked in like I think I have enough confirmation to say that on March 2 ahead of the second Duke, North Carolina game, working to get JB back in here and he's gonna play you in NBA 2K were to make that happen is make it happen. That gives me little bit less than a month to prepare nobody to pay for that elites like, I'm pretty sure that you lost a game I have about three out of like a twentysomething how mad you get when you lose a game to get the matter usually really mad when I was younger and that I kinda realize like I get money from trying my hardest beloved is intimately trying. So I was like whatever back in the next. I really want to win another's idea. Do you exit the game when you're down very girly.

Oh yeah percent parable. Nothing I man just can acquit me, if that's if that if I can bring it back. I want but if it's like you know in the third quarter and it's like 60 like you know like 42. Would you rather him leave the game like punch a wall or something. I think neither of those options are good looking is just fine.

I don't think so. I always roll my eyes from somebody quits again.

Everything with the last game you play solitaire, minesweeper, what, what is the last game that Josh Graham is NCAA 14 when was that while let's do the math was in Florida say that it it's been a while. It's been a while since I've owned the game console. Maybe I'm not the right person to be speaking on the up next will get to the stuff of the swarm last night and the beat that you guys have here but Snoop Dogg takes aim at Gayle King keep it on the drive.

Josh Graham has his finger on the triad sports pulse washer risk lease for your on the drive with Josh Graham is the time of people mad at Gayle King are a ton of people mad that will just edit that out in post-Robert. She had an interview with Lisa Lasley on CBS this morning and CBS really letter down because out of a wide-ranging interview about Kobe Bryant. They only included the segment where they were talking about the 2003, 2004 allegations against Bryant the trial back then. So if that's the only snippet you think you see, you might think that that is what the interview was all about and it turns out that's not the case. If Gayle King isn't safe in 2020. I don't know who is in today's climate, especially nationally guilty. She's about as soft and polite as they come. She's a good interviewer, as they come. Like when after R Kelly last year and handled that interview would grace she's one of the TV legends that we have, but Kobe Bryant is revered in a very special way by sports fans and in entertainment and in culture pop culture so when that's the only thing that's included. She starts getting flooded and dragged through the mud on social media to the point where she is responding saying we talked to Lisa Leslie about a ton of things. This was our way to address it so that it felt completely buttoned up. But that wasn't enough for even major celebrities such as Snoop Dogg who had this to say about the previews segment the preview of the interview, which had Gayle King of CBS interviewing Lisa Leslie specifically about Toby's 2003 court Gayle K Way when the UK is where we are worse worse we expect more from you Gayle thought you had a number over while attacking us real people you income after Harvey Weinstein asked him, don't ask questions. I just sent to you. I want to call you would is calling one folkie don't hit. how did he turn it towards my mother was rick tatian respective family and that people would come.

still have the pool does the martha stewart.

so i guess i like the view of martha stewart 30 years ago he was dealing with the murder trial. now here snoop dogg is going on social media, probably sitting in his bathroom saying that the good come get gayle king for asking about kobe bryant's court allegations were allegations that led to him. going to court like i get it the day of where that reporter. the washington post get swamped from toby fans decent people saying this is the time for and i agree that probably wasn't the best time. i don't think she should've been punished for it. no and the case of gayle king a week and 1/2 later i think it's there if you're doing a wide-ranging interview for that question to be asked but the way it was packaged really let gayle king down and i was just an incredibly rude clip from snoop what the bleep can you clean that up even more.

robert like can you give me that repackaged again in a way parents would feel comfortable hearing that with kids in their car sitting you. i want to call you what is it okay if i call in one will folkie don't hit a princess, toys, mother, father, best friend, tatian respective family, but we can get some food from jason's deli cycling enough for you when we do five things at five which is brought to you by jason's deli.

when we do that i want to set up that clip with no context whatsoever just known this was snoop dogg talking about gayle king and work in a play that cut that all were going to play pool on that's the plan.

let's get to the greensboro swarm last night so we were hanging out at the game thanks to doug beamer for hooking us all up with tickets were hanging out on the baseline and right before halftime. b.brings out robert walsh and sawyer for a tricycle race and i didn't think i was good to be involved in this whatsoever folks at the swarm, saying i was a coward for not getting involved in this in reality, i'm on the air 20 hours a week. i think that's enough embarrassment of myself where i don't need to go out in front of people and race on a tricycle, especially when i have two guys who i think were perfect for that game. sawyer and robert sabia.he brings me out to center court.

this is during a timeout, players are in their huddle and unasked. who do i think's going to win and without hesitation, without being prepared of the question for the question. i said sawyer thought was good when i like the advantage i was getting with him.

robert is somebody who might be a little reckless. can't really rely on him is not a franchise tricycle or know what is this how what is this talking can't depend on me so i i've been on sawyer and sawyer one but robert is putting it up and appeal.

robert believes it wasn't done in good faith, he believes something happened to his strike. he believes that sawyer cheated in this game. what is the case that you're making here for the game but nobody else cares about but us the right okay i am not i can put childish things aside, i can be an adult here and say that nothing happened to my tricycle. i can say that that was me having fun, just joking around but my gripe is at the end of this race.

we did toss an inflatable tire onto a cone.

the key word there is a toss not place sawyer did not toss this thing.

he literally dropped it onto the cone and i look over there and you and beta and sawyer are all jumping up and down gleefully before i even get to toss that inflatable tire one time so i think it was rigged.

i think no one enforced the distance that had to be tossed upon mad. i think that y'all wanted to get me off the court because you knew it was my chance to shine and that's all i'm gonna say about that. sawyer i'll have anything to say to you, don't take my name off the schedule ever again. that's it.

take your name off the schedule you would get it. it's a young kid thing was that mean sawyer you would get.

it's for younger people, can you please explain to me what this is just a name i don't know how to explain. don't take me on the schedule which are trifling. i don't know yet if there are so many things that you guys say that i don't understand like b.was talking to me yesterday. i don't think that's something we can bring in the air.

i feel like josh's monk like he supposed white bread like any any like exposure to the outside world. it is what pliny exposed to the outside world. it's just i don't sound it right like it's it's one of those things with her like how can i best utilize my call cassidy and the best way like i me.

how should i best handle the make this show, the most entertaining to commit like b.needs to present you with the word to get your vernacular up to speed and have you use it in a sentence to prove that you know what you're talking about.

like every week meet outcomes and it's like time for b.order the week he gives it to you and then you have to use that word applicable leak throughout situations all right. is that cool. i think we can do that to get a word from b.today, probably not, let's let's do a test run like a case on present you with the word lit lit to be exciting and full of fun. it is lit. this show enjoy this show is lit not it is lit this show are you like with a whiny show handling here all my goodness what a dragon like lit what it what what is lit. what's going on right now is lit all man i went to the brewery in winston-salem. it was lit there you go like that. thank you not know i knew it lit wise.

i didn't know what off the schedule map out that's going to mean that's not really like it.

just like you means on the radio worked out very well. even better when you point out that they're not working most of the time, but not to distract from the fact that i was cheated and this entire tossed on your reaction. it was just it was honestly like i was just on the story like when i realized that i was necking next to robert. i was like why my just going fast so start pedaling in this just a blown amount of money out of my chair before he's even on the first admitted that he got out of his chair, his bike earlier. did you not admit that you got your bike earlier than you should have will i look back at the video and i saw that robert x got up earlier than i did not have no way was i went out of the turn so the baseline is probably about 3 to 3 very short space away from where the front tire. my tricycle was and i said in my good goes yeah i must actually little bit more and i just said no i just got up because he's wasting my time. i can when i had got over there was a moment and you can probably see it on social media where i was afraid because i was looking at you and you are making great progress.

then i went to look at robert.

robert heads dear, it is tricycle right wide and almost hit me that i thought for a brief second robert i love you but i thought in that split second you thought you were getting beat so badly that you were just going to go off script and try to run my ass over. i imagine what that would've been if i get hit by a tricycle and that's how the race sends enjoyed the more the mission when the real change with a qualified or would you still get that old thing.

robert doesn't need an oil change.

you like that last night and sawyer was a note on cesar like young adult i just get them changed on time. josh was very gleeful about the and so is doug beamer so can i get a rematch. i don't want to do this stupid tricycle thing again. okay, he was not stupid. stupid because i lost he won the tricycle race.

okay he can drift better in these toy cars or toy bikes. how do you want to remember. i want to do a real man's competition with that pie eating contest is good for this because i'm old and i will tiebreaker all right she's sticky contest ever can eat the most cheesesteaks and one minute. i don't think i've ever had. it's easter. you're joking you never in your okay bob last, and now you have an energy stick working so close to 4 o'clock but i don't care. i want to hear why you've never energies you are listening to ws just winston-salem wc 02 greensboro wpc in burlington w mfr highpoint. the signals backing up sports on triad back on the dry sports to drive with javascript on sports hub triad.

robert apparently has sound of me saying very funny way.

one of the things he doesn't show any time i misspeak. he pulls it because he's not really an ally of mine. he's just somebody who doesn't mind being the court jester in the front of the audience and there's nothing on this show that entertains people more than agitating the hose. it is undefeated neville whilst chris portola to join us from espn and just a bit last night was another episode of the bachelor second time this week had a three hour show on monday.

i still don't know why it was a three hour show last night was a two hour show that i didn't get to until after watching that the bottle in louisville wake forest going up 15 them blowing that game, i had listened to dan docket for a couple of hours after watching the greensboro swarm inside the fieldhouse. so i was up late to about 1 o'clock in the morning.

i'm taking notes on my ipad and i have three major bullet points i want to get to hear it is time for our bachelor minute so it's another going never ending series.

bachelor will be push the limits of what's accessible on national tv with the intentions of hooking up as many of the contestants is possible or is it simply read who is on the clock. all right for the worse contestants are gone, including two of sawyer's draft picks victoria p who you might remember my girlfriend described as being a very hot for your role.

even though she's not close to 40 big lips, fake nose, fake a lot of things that was robert's main observation from watching. she dipped out of a football game they were playing in the brown stadium saying that her doctor told her to do so she badmouth the leah who robert called scar in the mini wagon so robert had issue with that as well. victoria p she's gone. and she did not take it well. she's sitting there and pizza like i don't see you being my wife with the line pretty bold from. i was proud of and she said i'm worried for you and was about to say something super mean that that this isn't love and peter was a try to take her to her car, and she's like i can walk myself down clearly wasn't there for the right reasons. so glad she's gone elsewhere. sydney she's kicked off the show, which is kind of a shame because she was the dumbest one on the shelf and that's saying a lot. sawyer as he is not very bright and anyone really hurt by cindy being gone by with the picture out would've undergone waiting for this process, like i will. she's the one that said she was picked on in high school. even though we have no pictures from her yearbook, where she's being celebrated as the top beauty.

she said she was faced with such slurs such as oreo girl. what a tragedy. her life up to this point, which is landed her on the bachelor. now she's off of the bachelor cities out tammy and mckenna.

they both got dictate where one was going to go home like a wrestling match peers like art way to solve the issue between you two and then peter sighed with mckenna and kicks tammy out. only then to send mckenna home to after she had a bunch of like motivational speeches, all i think were having breakthroughs even though she never really even talks to peter at all.

she's 22 and are and she's completely heartbroken so she's gone as well and i'm glad that she's gone. so for the worse contestants around madison is still around.

she is the clear frontrunner.

we saw sawyers ms. bobby because he's the only one that has a pick last note that's not true away. robert has hannah and i forgot madison is the clear frontrunner here. she's a perfect contestant.

no one in the house nights at her because she's so damn likable in them, which is what peter not bad mouthing anybody to hear screaming in the house like mrs. walk somewhere else were we can just make out a little bit. peter also is given her gifts introduced her to his family as the family renewed vowels and gave her a framed photo of her with his family get so clear that peter loves madison more than anybody else, but that's what the patch were dusty. they build up these people to make us think that it's gonna be her and the producers are undefeated laos and it seems like she's going to be the next bachelorette. if i had to guess i don't know when but it's just too perfect to roses right now for madison right at this moment i'm concerned about her moving forward, victoria f.

and hannah and they both got roses on their one-on-one dates. robert hanahan got you back into the game. she did you know that means what is that both of them are so manipulative like she's putting hand, putting her hand but is likely to stay perfect to get any better and arose in total he could get that if i could get like a rose. the next time they go on the date she actually gets arose like you know, i put enough time with each other during like a one of those cocktail parties to get the one on one day in chile. the next time there together so she locked it up by saying i'm starting to fall in love with you. he fell for complete and i think she's trying to get the bachelorette. i don't think he has much interest in bringing this up in the bathroom but i could be wrong or be in the bachelor champion. i hated that date in your date made me so mad kissing with their mouth full old beater. so like a couple comes up ahead, and while you look so young, because the peter saying yes he is a little younger ready for this. when he asked her if she's been in love and she goes, though i have not been in love yet and then peter is like saying all these things like i just don't know she's ready and she says the right things but doesn't cry like take time off and then she starts crying.

that's what i want is he needs his women to be subservient and crying like kelly last episode it was the one time peter's been tasked with somebody smarter than he is like she's just so clearly smarter as an attorney and he realized, wait a minute, she's not subservient because she's smart.

okay will keep her around, at least for now.

that's what were going to do is so poorly, victoria f is often worse. she is the candidate here and every bachelor or bachelorette season. there is the please just get to the fantasy round fantasy suite round contestant that is to pretoria after she has no shot at winning but peter wants to keep her around for the fantasy suite round if you catch what i'm saying here primitively.

that's what peter wants to do. victoria avenue long enough because it is done to what to lead us to believe she is interested in peter or deserves peter's interest other than the fact that she's attractive, like every single one of their dates. she storms off crying. i don't know if i can do this.

i don't know if i can do each time peter falls for it every single time around, led to their being a little bit. i think a little early so been reading some stuff, you know.

whoa whoa lawyer just have a history with other men will see if you would she do this you know he would treat the halftime game.

that is the bachelor minute.

all right, let's get to it.

let me hear how i said duke. funny you guys were just rolling over in laughter. the air, how many hours a week. about 20 and pick out the one or two sentences a show where something comes out wrong. you have all the time all across radio.

usually the producer is with the host, caroline, not you, you're just going to dig it up and make me look bad. i play the damn clip next hour. it's good to be crisp until a former duke assistant to talk about today about her as a joke.

i think we should how you say talk about due diligence. duke i don't get why this is not a way to get many visitors talk about 336-777-1600 is this funny talk about on twitter at sport sub try because i don't hear it and all well all throughout the show before the show you guys just plain clips i don't understand walter why there funny and maybe this is just a disconnect that i have. maybe i need to get more acclimated with the kids. you say lit right yeah and understand what is now funny because i don't i don't get how this is funny talk about duke, you will think of you for the first like going just like your words just get out on the next hour. it's good to be crisp until the former duke assistant to talk about duke carolina saturday my words fell out okay will let me tell a former duke sit right so here's the first time about duke. it's really an incredible thing.

how the maturity of the show really shifts vacillate from minute to minute like going from the bachelor minute something that's as highbrow as that, to this talk about duke – i really don't like this tease at the moment.

where were headed because specifically this is what were going to do the talk about duke coach k. he was a commissioner for college basketball about duke will explore that and we will talk about duke next on the drive try with josh gray, smart, spacious, and he knows his horse back to drive josh graham on sport sub try total college basketball analyst from espn former coach k assistant and kind enough to spend some time here ahead of north carolina saturday in the smith center a few hours ago roy williams met with the media and the biggest thing to come out of the press conference the nightmare season continues on the injury front for the tar heels brandon robinson with a sprained ankle was going to miss the next 2 to 4 weeks, which means the tar heels are going to be shorthanded as they face a top 10 ranked team. their second top 10 ranked team they face this year. upon learning that news chris and we appreciate the time is always how does robinson's absence affect the way you view saturday's matchup significant to me that they don't have anybody you know in my body warm body to be able to give you and your talk about a veteran guy connecting lauren and knows no stranger to accelerate significant laws for amazing job on the line in this league. maybe one or two teams i got for the state in that category.

you know like i couldn't really think of another that they haven't been impacted by me go down the line.

google Directories.

virginia was mixed.

mrs. braxton key fatality for their injuries. we go down the line we it's amazing what the league is down for a lot of reasons, but one of them. i think that that you don't talk much about becomes authorized as an excuses number of injuries. the teams that suffered like you know if it's a significant loss, especially with again this weekend is no question you are on the duke dance in 2010.

the last time north carolina didn't make the ncaa tournament. a special especially after tuesday night's game where coach k pointed it out at his team overlook boston college and that the only adversity they were facing. these are cascades words was in adversity with me because he was telling them all week that this pc team was playing pretty well.

how much do you think coach k is reminding his guys not to listen to how bad everybody is saying north carolina is yeah i think there's a lot of you don't want to think that he always said, especially when we begin watch, and over seven as an affirmation to himself and his coaches was there not there not to be the team that we see on tape that there's just so much that goes into this game psychologically, carolina's best crowd that they battle year industry so much. psychologically, that goes into this game that i can't tell you how many times josh that the team whether they were good or bad. the team that you saw on tape was not the team that you were going to see in person with us like there were games where we played better than we actually were just because of the moment in the game so i think there's a lot and i think the big thing that he is preaching to his group is that they are by no means a clean record to show up and beat anybody.

i don't care who would go on. i think there's there's a lot of that going around and especially when you go there again.

it's good to be hostile environment regardless of what people think of carolina crowd to bend this year to be as hostile environment is spending and in there to see regardless of who was on in the lineup or playing or not playing it could be as good as carolina has looked on tape. there's no question about it. crystal is with this year from espn. he's on twitter at chris underscores the tolling to be in dallas for kansas tcu this weekend when you are thinking about a specific moment. you became integrated with this rivalry that you realize the magnitude of it where you go because that's something we've been asking people all week long, every single day this week we had a former north carolina player. duke coach in your case. talk about what this rivalry means in your background a little bit unique because you didn't play it.

duke equated army before joining coach k staff so what sticks out to you when you realize how i've always known. this rivalry was a thing but i didn't quite realize the gravity of it until this yeah there are a few examples of the first one for me. josh was the year that gerald henderson and poppa hansbrough in the face and you know look at… i don't want to relitigate that moment. but what i will say is gerald henderson was a young freshman year and you could see the innocence on his face again a freshman playing and i for the first time yet. that's right on carolina speedway to try to make a top physical play. there's no question about it and it did he attend a pop in the face recently attended a problem. but when he came over the bench as the officials were trying to parse the holding out figure it all out assault hansbrough that embedded in that rivalry was an older player you saw the victory from the carolina family and you know again i was taught i just remember this clear as day standing on the sideline kind of just asking gerald what did you do like what what was your what we think you just kind of while the crowd raining down things we can't say on the air to gerald henderson that was the first moment josh where it was a clear illustration of this is for real. real deal massive moment that's going to live in the history of this rivalry and you could see the innocence on on gerald face it you mean. and again i'm not trying to halt him up that moment. i just tried to describe the magnitude of the moment to the fan bases and the magnitude of a moment in that rivalry that will in time forever.

in contrast that with somebody is playing in it for the first time and it only got always standout out to me that there were there were so many moments good and bad that that you know i experience just in the seven years that i was on on the bench there that that make it unique and again you know that the stats of this finger. they stand out in the euro how all this rivalry is a look there for years to get back to what i at the top. there are years where carolina has been way better than duke and vice versa. yet this thing is tied. after all, the number of times if he keeps the play just note that old adage go to records outing and let's place the thing up and see how it how it turns out you remember gerald henderson's reaction to all of it was. once you guys got back in the locker room intended the way to god to that.

i'm not a dirty play. i mean this with all due respect to gerald.

gerald wasn't like that. the topic guide we ever had the program so like a play to go out and nail somebody in the face was not necessarily his thing. in fact, that false bravado was much more gerald and so, okay, i'm not absolving him were trying to run it. it happened in there's no question he was trying to make a physical play.

he just didn't want to be seen as that guy you know and as a dirty player and i don't think i think the result a bloodied tyler hansbrough.

i don't think that was what with the intention was because gerald that look i've been around guys through their intent was to play somebody gerald was not that guy yet. you know he still seen as as that person so that's what stood out to me.

he even want to be seen is that i don't think he attended the way it became outing boy still talked about this dado crystal with this year from espn on twitter at chris underscores the total i mentioned again you have this we can have one last night nc state miami win for nc state. but i've seen a lot of teams get their confidence back against this miami hurricanes team and i'm trying to figure out how much i should glean from what the wolfpack did in coral gables. how much do you take away from last nights game for state group.

make joshing you like.

i practice all of this by saying they've dealt with her own injuries and i think even when a pattern. i said to start again last night, even when they had everybody available kevin keith is quick to point out to me. we have a continuity in practice and that we are preparing the way you need to prepare to play in this league. all that said, their puzzling group for me because you know, look, you get a great performance from cj bryce debbie daniels has a great night and markel johnson actually quite well last night a pretty complete game relative to what he's done this year and miami's playing without their two leading scorers to the claim without one of the best guards in the claim without tamagotchi and yet that pain is no five-point game going down the stretch.

i don't understand that like that's again even on the road.

thank you. state's attorney team at the game were you going and you can't run away with that. you know what i mean and i think it was a. there where miami was kind of okay with that and then bogged down and eight they got into this highball screen stop in and it just was. it became a one on one thing that wasn't really a whole lot going on. i am healed, still a bit shipped a few threes and in all. in those freshman guard. they don't know one way to what i client started to 10 point game and today pointing six point game puzzling group.

it really has. i don't think i did not have exceeded price for that stretch. top i can keep their best player because of what with all the most talented, but that's most important where with all the stuff you bring markel is still up and down so it was a group like i think their talent level is certainly no tournament quality.

when you you compared to the rest of the field they just haven't been very consistent and again i think injuries have stuff to do with that but i think it also has some to do with the personnel and their best players i've been very inconsistent this year. i was blessed one week last week and i even texted you next told toby brian story that i hadn't heard from you before i thought it was terrific.

it was timely.

of course in your memories of the late great number eight and 24.

it's back from the olympic days when he was with the us olympic basketball team.

can you share that kobe story with us.

for those he may have missed.

yeah, yeah, it is this this story is true, as you and i are reading to me just tonight and i it always quintessential kobe to me and i got to know each other little bit, which is to say, we had a kind of a rhythm in 2008 at beijing 2012 in london where i would rebound for him before and after practice and in 2012, he was sort of. he was kind of at the definitely at the back of his career. he was a year away from karen's achilles and in lebron james had become the guy in the league but i remember the meal room and i was beaten with a couple of players in an staff and in there was somebody started telling the story that earlier that summer. kobe had gone on a safari in africa so that he could study how lions stalk their prey. so he went average. one of the safari because he wanted to observe how lions stalk their prey and you know i'm a cynical person i know. i called ps when i when i when i hear it and i'm going there's no way to get out here like to submit this is a rumor probably started by colby. there's no way this is true. so the next day were over there at the gym before practice and he shooting free throws and i'm rebounded form and i talk a lot and again we were at i don't. we were great friends but we were, we would talk a little bit and he asked questions about my military variance in all of that so i finally got up the courage to ask my sick kobe i heard this story yesterday in the meal room that you went to africa to learn how lions stalk their prey. is it true, and he says with a dead face and he keeps shooting. he said doesn't matter and that was it. no more to me just like with kobe bryant. the reality in the myth were always blurred and they were always blurred because they were believable like the myth was so believable because of who he was. so it was, it was just i always remember that story was quintessential kobe best chris have a great: fort worth will talk to you sometime soon…
