Who won the charity auction and why does Aaron Lewis matter?
Hey there, I am Gary Parrish. Welcome back to CBS Sports. I own college basketball podcast where we sometimes discuss camel fighting, Dodo Birds, and leaky black. Matt Norlander is here with me, and today we are continuing our summer shoot around series with the second of three auction episodes. Special shouts to everybody who bid. Always nice to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. And the man who made it possible today is Aaron Lewis. I'm assuming this is not the same Aaron Lewis who is the front man of the American rock band Stain, but I can't say for sure. Norlander, first question for you. Do you think this this Aaron Lewis who won this auction is the same Aaron Lewis who took it's been a while to number five on the Billboard Hot 100 back in two thousand one?
Back.
What do you think? I really well, one I really hope so. That would be incredible. Did you do I know you had to. I did not. I did not realize That's That it was uh a potential second Aaron Lewis. You did a wiki deep dive on on the stained Aaron Lewis. Do we have any indication if he has uh ties to the state of the school that we're about to talk about here?
I found no evidence that he is tied to Kent State, and that's why I I assume this is um this is an example of two humans having the same name. Well, it seems relatively likely. Like the But I I but I'd like to think of it as being Aaron Lewis sitting at home in a Kent State jersey being like, It's been a while. Since we've been to the Elite Eight Ne spinò You know, and then he gets all sad and stuff. I think you're supposed to listen to him when you're sad. Something like that.
I'm feeling those ladders, y'all. Although I think that was Fred Durst that did that.
I think that's my second, but I think that's my second. Hey, I can understand how you might get them confused. I can understand how you might get them confused.
I think I've done that reference two times in this calendar year on this podcast. That's wild. Um Yes, the winner here. I do know this one because it's a mid-major and I wanted to have I it's it's harder for me to talk off the cuff about a mid-major, obviously. Kent State Golden Flashes as the winner. So James Madison's run, its rain on our auction wins among the mid-major ranks, GP. It's over. Um although I'm pretty sure they've got the the fellow who's won it the past couple of years, I I'm pretty sure if he wanted to win again, they would have won again. And he's he it's almost like um that year when Stevie Wonder didn't make an album. It was it was in seventy five or seventy six. Uh I think that was it in the mid seventies.
See uh Stevie Wonder is, you know, uh he had this incredible, incredible run. And um Paul Simon famously at the Grammys thanked Stevie Wonder the year that he won in seventy six or seventy-five for not making an album. He's like my thanks to C V Wonder for not making an album. It's kind of similar here. Thanks to our big JMU booster listener who decided to uh to sit it out this year. All too happy to talk about to talk about Kent State. Before we get into the uh the hoops part of it, GP. Mm-hmm. Just a quick rundown on your coach, Rob Senderoff. Um I we've both known Rob for a long time. Uh Rob Senderoff is the biggest, and there are a lot of big ones. And if Chris Caputo listens to this podcast, he is going to object to this.
If Mike Hopkins listens to this podcast, he's going to object to this. Uh, but I believe that Rob Senderoff, in his heart of hearts, is the biggest Pearl Jam fan of any coach in all of college basketball because. I put 10 right behind me. This was the reissue about a decade and a half back. And I asked Senderov to rank the Pearl Jam albums. This is in order, top five. Ten for the cultural significance. Sure. So he has 10 as number one. Uh then he has verses as number two, no code as number three. As we tape this show, by the way, we are less than a week removed from 10 and no code. They both came out on the same day in uh late August, obviously. Obviously years apart. Um, I think No Code's a top three Pearl Jam album as well.
