Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

Where to start? Well, it's either going to be so-cal-related or it's going to be no-cal-related.

Being that I'm a so-cal native, I would never ever pick Frisco over SoCal. But Frisco I'll get to you just not first.

Because I'm a So-cal battery chuckers. Keep the water coming.

Anyway, Lake Show! You got exactly what you wanted, didn't you? You got your playoff spot. You got your number seven seed

You get your rematch with the defending champs and man are you feeling good about yourselves right now

never mind that the nuggets are rested and lying in weight

rubbing their hands together, licking their chops, salivating, and getting ready

for the chance to smack you around all over again.

Never mind any of that. The Lake Show and the so-called Car Flag Nation are not thinking

about that right now. They are simply basking in the glory of that huge playing tournament win.

I mean if you thought they were hyped

about winning the ears in season

invitational, man, you ought to see them right about now. I have. I was on the freeway

this morning. I've seen them. Let me put it to you this way. The car flags are out this morning and so cow.

You hit up any freeway right now. You look in any direction.

It is purple and gold car flags snapping in the wind as far as the eye can see and if

you listen really closely you can even hear Randy Newman bumping in every last one of those cars.

In fact, max volume.

It's back. how you know the vibes are way up here in Lakerland.

Even the ham is puffing his chest out right now.

Even Car Flag Nation is hyped on the ham this morning.
