I love you. I love you. They call them trolls or whatever. People that just sit behind a computer in their mom's basement. You idiot. It was a joke. Hold on. Let me put my wooden teeth in so you can understand me better.
Okay.
And we're sitting here again. We're sitting here again talking about the same thing. Now you're insulting my intelligence. Now I'm insulting your integrity. That's incringulant. We never got Bob saying all aboard. I was waiting for that part. That's correct. We did not. You took that out. You took that out. I did not take it out. Yes, you did. It's actually something that was never added in officially. I would just always search for Bob saying all aboard. It's one of my favorite parts, but that's okay, Limits. Onward we go. It's time for a little trip.
All aboard!
On the Limited Express. Limited. It's limited because Joe told me we were doing this five minutes ago. It's limited because, Bob, your voice wasn't on there at the end. Oh, okay. Go ahead, Limits. Bob, did you know that you were in the final four of the Pittsburgh Media March Madness Tournament? Who else is in it? It is Colby Armstrong versus Taylor Haas. Wow. Bob Pompiani versus Bill Hillgrove. Oh, wow. What a matchup that is, Bob. That's a loss coming. I learned the hard way that Taylor Haas has a very rabid following, Bob. Huge Twitter following for Taylor. I got blown out. Yeah, I got blown out in the, I think it was the Elite Eight. I think it was the Sweet 16. Maybe the Sweet 16. I can't get past that like Jamie Dixon.
Correct. Yes. But, Bob, you are winning with 67% of the votes. Early voting. Voting just started today. It's going to be Bob against Taylor Haas in the final. I think so. And I'm going to lose. Bob, you will win. Bob has won three out of the last four.
You're a dynasty. You're a dynasty, Bob. So is Colby. They're both really good. So, whatever. Just an honor to be in it. Limits. Next.
That's spoken just from somebody who has won the thing multiple times and now he's going to win it again. No, I don't. The actual final four in men's basketball is Illinois, UConn, Michigan, Arizona. Joe, what do you make of the final four teams left and who's going to win it all? That I'm rooting against one of them, UConn, for the same reasons that Bob is. We think their coach is obnoxious, although he's a very, very, very good coach. And it's a tough one to call who's playing the best basketball, probably Arizona or Michigan. One of those two. Illinois is such an interesting team to me with Stojakovic's kid and the style that they play. They're going to be hard to beat. And then UConn's UConn. I think it's a great Final Four.
What are Joe and Bob's predictions for the Final Four matchups?
If I had to put money on it, a limitless wonder, I think I would put money on Arizona.
Bob? Probably, but I'm going to think UConn's going to go down. I think Illinois is going to pull out an upset there. I do. The way they're playing, how they're playing, the way they present matchup problems to other teams. Who do you want to win? I really don't care. I mean, I think Michigan's a team that I liked at the beginning of the season. I didn't know how far they'd get, but they had a nice team. So I think I'll go Michigan.
Did we all agree that the shot last night beat the Leitner shot? Yes. Yes. At the beginning, I wasn't in agreeance with that. I thought the Leitner shot, but Bob, you convinced me because UConn had no control of the situation. They didn't have the ball. And for it to break the way it did was a combination of luck, because when you deflect the ball, you don't know where it's going to go, and skill and smarts and a great shot from 35 feet.
