the Big 1050.com. I got my guy Eric Black on the other side of the glass this morning. He'll be with me tomorrow as well. I've got Miz with me next week. Sam is on a little vacation time, a little rest, relaxation, recharge, and get ready for the home stretch of the college basketball season. Ooh, college basketball season has been highly, highly entertaining. I'm not going to get into this too far. I want to actually get into Tigers, but I do want to mention. Because I was thinking about this yesterday, you know, there have been a lot of years. When you get into this stage of these season in college basketball, you start looking at seating, right? This is, you know, not, it's really, I mean, you can look in December. you can you can look in January and I do a little bit, but it's, it's, it's a little early when you haven't played any of, you got a lot of, yeah, there's a lot of basketball left when you're doing it that way. And it's really, that's a, that's a, I know that there's still projections, but that's like a real major projection because you're trying to guess out what's going to happen in the final many months of the season, et cetera. Now that we're, you know, a month and change away until Selection Sunday was like about six weeks. We're inching closer and close. We're getting down the Michigan women, for example, have six games left in their regular season. So we're getting a little closer into this. So I'm starting to spend a little more time looking at brackets and everything. And I'll be honest, Eric, there are two ways you can be heading, well, there's three ways you can be heading into this time of year. One, your team is not in. And that sucks. And you're moving on to baseball. If your team is already out, like, you're on the spring football already, like baseball and whatever. Yeah, it's it's terrible like that sucks and we've been there we've been it's only been a couple

you we're not that far removed right we are not far removed from that being the case here so we've been

there and it sucks there's the next way the next stage up from that which is all right you're watching

and there are a handful of teams in the big 10 that are doing this which is all right you're watching and there are a handful

of missions in the big 10 that are doing this which is you're on the bubble and it's aggravating

to be on the bubble and if you start watching the bubble about six weeks out and if you're watching

net rankings which are super fluid and you're seeing like oh we have four quad one wins and now we

have two and the next day you have five because you know teams winning and losing and shuffling right around the quad lines and stuff. It's a day-to-day basis. It can drive you absolutely insane if you're on the bubble. Then there's the third way. And that's what we're doing this year, which is with the men, can they be the number one overall seed?

That's what we're watching. We're watching things like, we're watching, can they be the number one

overall seed? Can they be in position so that they get the Chicago regional? Because the first two rounds are

going to end up in like Buffalo because there's nothing any closer than Buffalo. Which I know the

Canadian and that part of the New York and maybe New England,

Michigan fans are excited about that.

Great Midwest City.

But the Chicago, Chicago for the regional for the Midwest would be really, that would be
