I mean, Paige, hasn't missed a beat, and she's going to be the number one overall pick. But it's, you know, I don't see them making it past UConn. Either way, honestly.

Um, yeah, well, I mean, again, it really just depends, right? Like, uh, for Paige Beckers, when she tore the meniscus in her knee, it was in the summer. And so she did miss that entire season because of it. I don't know how USC is going to play it. Um, you know, if there is any blessing, it's that it happened in early March and maybe not in the summer as they were doing their off season training.

I don't know if you say let's let's medical redshirt her. Right. Like she's only 19 years old. She's not eligible to go to the WNBA draft until she's 22 years old anyway. So I don't know. You certainly don't want to cause any long term damage for someone who we believe is going to be one of the greatest players of all time if she projects the way that she is now.

But, yes, I would say that getting used to a life potentially without Juju next season would be that would be, you know, that would be a fair assessment.

It's true. I tried to say this to someone last night. I was like, imagine if on the men's side, if they lost Cooper flag in the same way, right? Like it would change the enthusiasm for the tournament in some way. The good news for us is that while Juju is one of the faces of women's basketball and will be national player of the year, we do still have really great storylines.

We have Notre Dame who has the best backcourt in the country. finally sort of figuring it out and rounding into form. We have TCU. Haley Van List's story is amazing. TCU's story is amazing. I know they're not like a major... They couldn't even field a roster. They were horrible. Now they're headed to their first Sweet 16. People made fun of Haley for choosing TCU. Like, wow, that's great.

What a basketball powerhouse. And to see her story, like, that's still a story. We still have South Carolina, right? Like, trying to go for, to be back-to-back champs for the first time since UConn did it. And then we still have UCLA, like, who is a huge program. Again, sort of a return to prominence, a return to glory, if you will, looking for their first Final Four.

If there is any blessing, it's that this happened last night. It gives us a few days to compartmentalize and process, and then we sort of get to look ahead to the Sweet 16, which is still rife with storylines. Yes, like, did I want an Elite Eight that was going to put up enormous numbers personally as someone that benefits from that at ESPN? Yes, but we do still have a lot of meat on that bone.

Ooh, I actually do like ripped jeans. I'm into them. My kids have ripped jeans. I think they look cool.

Come on, Dan. Oh, I'm sorry. Although lately in this country, I don't know. Kind of up for debate.
