The really weird one for me is that Central Arkansas, the team names are the Bears and the Sugar Bears.
Yeah.
And Akron avoids all of these concerns by just being like, yeah, we're the Zips. Yeah, she's carrying babies in her pouch. She doesn't care. She loves our teams, our 1-11 football team and our extremely successful men's basketball and men's soccer teams.
Absolutely. Go Zips. I've been on the Goodyear blimp. I will support Akron until the day I die.
I'd like to hone in on the UC San Diego Tritons. First of all, actually a good team. Like, I'm not trying to take away from Akron or Uno. They're like top 40 on Ken Palm. They should not be a 12 seed. They have the guy who leads the nation in steals. They're like two point underdogs against Michigan as a 12 seed. So that's the basketball talk. This is their first tournament.
It's their first year of eligibility since they transferred up from Division 2. Both the men's and the women's teams made it into the tournament.
They were D2 four seasons ago. And when you transfer up from Division 2 to Division 1, you have to take four years off. And they were not allowed to play in the NCAA tournament. This year they are. They were incredible. And they are the Tritons. The reason they're named that is because UC San Diego, it's a pretty good school.
They're host to the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, Oceanographic Institute that has like made a ton of like climate change discoveries. They wanted to honor that. And also it's San Diego. It's on the beach. They have water and stuff. So they're the Tritons. Their name, their mascot is King Triton. He's the god of the seas.
He's a guy wearing a, you know, I don't know why Poseidon and Triton are pictured wearing like the same things that Greek people on land did. Because like you think the robes like the tokens would be not very useful underwater.
The mascot looks the same, like their costume mascot looks almost identical to the Little Mermaid version of Triton. A five crown cap and he's holding a trident, which in the Little Mermaid like shoots out like fire and destroy stuff. Right. But the mascot unclear whether or not he can do that.
Yeah, I'm on his side. Like, he was a little bit over the top, but, like, first of all, humans are bad is, like, a pretty solid take.
And, like, his 16-year-old daughter is going to go marry some... like the only human being she's ever seen before like she's 16 and she's gonna cut off her tail and have legs like yeah a little and he's like prince eric is yeah he's overrated he's selfish a little desperate on ariel's part and he's very reasonably like chill out don't like go to the surface where you can't breathe can she breathe
That is the most... There are some problematic relationships in Disney movies, but... Prince likely of adult age with 16-year-old non-talking mermaid. That's really bad.
Do you feel like they did a good job with the four regions of our country being East, South, West, and Midwest? Like, we never talk about, like, the North, but I think that's what they're trying to get. Anyway, I'm thinking too much about the regions.
My favorite player in the NCAA tournament is in this bracket. He is not likely to win, nor is he likely to be successful at the thing which drew me to him. I'm talking about Wofford's Tyler Filowich. Center led the conference in rebounding and field goal percentage, last place in the conference in free throw percentage.
28 at the time. He decided to switch from overhand regular free throws, at which he was shooting 28%, to underhanded, commonly referred to as granny style free throws. Although, I'm not sure how that name, I've never seen any grandmothers play basketball.
He's a big boy. He's a center. He dominates in the paint. So this is like, he was shooting 28%. Someone on his coaching staff had a connection with Rick Barry, the NBA Hall of Famer.
The unhanded free throw, whose sons, some of his sons shot underhanded. He shot like 90% for his career. He flew to South Carolina. to teach our guy Kyler here how to shoot underhanded free throws. He switched in February. It's the last season of his career. He's a fifth-year senior. This is his time to shine. It's now or never. He switches to underhanded free throws.
The ending of the story that you've written in your head.
And the story that you probably cooked up in your head is that he switched and he's good at it. He's not. He still sucks at shooting free throws. He's shooting 35% from the line since he switched to underhand.
