Final four Saturday night in Indianapolis. Two good ones. Illinois, Yukon, followed by Arizona, Michigan. Arizona, Michigan feels like a national championship matchup. John Crispin is with us. John calls games for ESPN, NBC, Peacock. John was a really good college basketball player. One of my favorite things to say when John's on the show is John not only scored 62 points in a high school basketball game, but his grandfather, Cliff, still owns the Maryland State High School Boys Basketball single game scoring mark.

He scored 79 points in 1956, and as we've talked about before,

I'm pretty sure there was no three-point line, but I don't think I've ever asked you,

was your grandfather a really good shooter? I'm assuming he was.

Yeah, he was one of the few that actually shot jump shots. Back then. I think, like, yeah, back then. Like, he actually would pull up from 10 feet and shoot a jump shot. And I have this image of, there's a movie semi-pro. I don't know if you've seen it. Yeah, yeah. We're in the first Aleut dunk. And I have this image of my grandfather in some way in the 50s, being the guy pulling up for jumpers and everyone's like, whoa, what is that? What is that? What is he doing? Like, is that legal? Like, should we check the rule? Yeah, it's okay, You could do that. So he had more of a, not called a three-level scoring game. It was still more a two-level scoring game. But to score 79 points, and oh, by the way, we tried to taunt him a little bit, if you could even do that to your grandfather. He never said much about his career. but we try to say like, yeah, well, who'd you do it again? You know, sisters of the poor, you make up one of those days, he goes, no, they were pretty good. They had two division one guys on their team. Oh, wow. All right. But, John, it was because back then everybody shot a set shot, right?

Yes, yes.

And it was like not exactly fluid.

The game itself wasn't all that fluid.

It was very your turn, my turn.

So clearly there was a decent pace to that one.

It's one of those things where like everything in our world is recorded today and to the point where it drives you nuts, right? Like no, no moment is missed, which means every moment is missed,

right? Because you're not in the moment. You're, you're capturing it, right? I hate, I hate the

phones held up when people were at a great sporting event.

Like, why don't you just live it and enjoy it?

What are you doing?

Be present.

Be present.

And by the way, you'll enjoy it a lot more if you're just present.

You feel every bit of it.

I would love to see some tape, but I'm sure it would be like that

type of really sped up tape, you know, when you see like the old school video where they're moving twice as fast because the frame rate just isn't the same. I'd love to watch that. And just in a way, it's like you look back and you go, that's where I'm from. And also, So like his life wasn't easy.

Like people always say like, oh, you guys have been lucky.
