Welcome to another episode of the three-man-weave college basketball podcast.

Back again for another conference preview special episode.

This one, fellas, is the pack 12. That's right. Usually we do

this one last out of the six power conferences. But this year, reversing the order here,

going PAC 12 first, talking West Coast, best coast. But first, Jim, is out on the East Coast,

the Southeast Coast, to be exact, in Tampa.

Jim, how you doing?

Great, Kai.

I tried to get as far away from the stink of the pack 12 as I could.

Should we be calling it 12-pock?

12-pack, yeah, 12-pack, soon to be 10-pock again.

Yeah, exactly.

And possibly 8-Pock if California and Stanford leave as well Oregon also fussing around with that but yeah I'm I'm in Florida I am

visiting my father and then it is Big Packer weekend for me my annual road game trip last year

was in Baltimore during the college basketball season.

I'm quite relieved that it is before the college basketball season.

Matthew, you like to travel during hoops and I don't understand it.

I do.

I have a few trips lined up this year.

I'm pretty excited about that, Jim.

I'm just more excited that we're going to actually have some listeners that will tune in of this podcast. Big 10 listeners, I assume, trying to get out ahead of the impending conglomerate conference forming, wanting it to kind of whizen themselves, Kai, on their Pack 12, soon-to-be Big 10 team takes. I'm happy to help facilitate that. So you're welcome in advance. Yeah, good, good point, Matthew. And I'll say it again, I'm against the UCLA USC move. Hard against. I can't imagine anybody being for this. Are UCLA and USC fans even for this? I don't understand, guys, never understood it. But hey, money's king. That's what they say. Yeah, I'm sure they, that's, they're really going to be amped to fill up Pauley Pavilion for Maryland on a Thursday night. Yeah, it doesn't sound great. But that is our show today. Pact 12 preview, you're going to dive into every single team. Also, of course, Roots Roundup, some news and notes for your listening pleasure. Our podcast is produced by Jay Pitty. No, it's not.
