If they go and get him, I'm good with it, guys, because I got to get that position right. And let's face it, I'm not saying that he is this, but a year ago we didn't have Jaden Daniels doing what he's doing. Yeah. And you can go right down the line of other cases in the National Football League. So I'm good with either route.

You know what, Dominic? My thing is, when I look at this lineup of teams, this is historic because the last time that we had it happen was 2008. And that's the only other time it's occurred. That being Memphis, Carolina, UCLA, and Kansas. Think about this. These four teams have a higher efficiency rating than 21 of the last 22 national champions. So I want to see the Clash of the Titans.

I want to see the best teams play each other. And it's going to be fascinating to see this weekend in San Antonio where you have Duke, the most efficient offensive team in the country, against Houston, the best defensive team in the country. Where you have Auburn in Florida, and for the better part of the year, Auburn was the number one team in the country.

They've been the number one the most weeks. But they lost the last time they met Florida, the only time they've met Florida this year. And it came at home inside Neville Arena. So there's a bunch of storylines. I truly believe this. We had it so good in the Cinderella Con the last couple of years. And while college sports is nuts and college basketball is wild, it's basketball, guys.

This is not like football in the trenches where the comparable to a Cinderella meets the heavyweight and gets blasted at the line of scrimmage, and it's not a game. I think that Cinderella's carriage has stopped at the BP or the Shell. They're getting the gas tank up. And in 2026, we're going to see that carriage run right back through. I do believe that. But let's not –

Deny that sometimes when Cinderella has made it this deep in the dance, at some point, they even turn back into a pumpkin in the tournament. These four teams make for quite the weekend in San Ant.

What do you mean? I didn't know if he did one. Does Maury read paternity test results? Oh, you're speaking my language. I love Maury. Do cows get milked? I mean, come on now.

Well, I had three of the final four. I wasn't going to go chalk, chalk, chalk, chalk. You know, I thought I did think it was funny that the people who did and everybody ripped them on. Look, you can't just go all chalk. But I did think the top of the country was overwhelmingly good. I thought Michigan State could end up making the magic happen and Izzo in his 30th year could get there.

I did okay. I thought UC San Diego was going to make a run in this tournament. You know, I talked with Dusty May about this. He's the head coach of Michigan. And he's like, when people say that the Cinderella thing is dead, he's like, UC San Diego was a possession away from beating us. Right. He's like, it's basketball, man.

Like, wait, I've been on the other side of that at Florida Atlantic when we made the improbable run. You just simply never know what can happen in this thing. And that's why, like, think about this, fellas. Shouldn't Texas Tech be in the Final Four? They were up by nine with 251 to go in the game. Up by nine with 251. You wonder how the hell they lose that. Yeah.

A couple of guys who are willing to adapt and accept the fact that their team's on the clock from 2 to 5 every day and the other 21 hours of the day they're not because that's our world now. It just is. It's different. Different time, different place. And I think for a guy like Bruce Pearl, he figured out, you know what? My football program's one of the best things I got going.
