| 0:00.0 | Hey there, it's Gary Perish. It's Saturday, March 30th, 2018. Welcome back to the I'm college |
| 0:17.4 | basketball podcast. I got Matt Norlander here with me. He's in San Antonio. I'm in San Antonio. |
| 0:22.8 | We really haven't seen each other much. I know at the end of the last podcast, Norlander, |
| 0:26.9 | I promised that I was going to meet you out. We danced around San Antonio. That didn't |
| 0:31.9 | work out so well. I saw you briefly, I guess it was yesterday afternoon, my day before yesterday. |
| 0:38.4 | Yeah, I'm losing track of my days, losing track of my hours, losing track of my bar test. |
| 0:44.2 | It's been a rough, it's been a rough 24 hour period for me. Yeah, you actually were rocking |
| 0:48.1 | some sunglasses and had the wraparound mic as you're getting ready to do some hits for CBS Sports |
| 0:53.4 | Network. Hey man, great look. That's all I can say. Here's the problem. Norland, let me speak to |

| 1:27.7 | eye on the side set outside the alamo yesterday afternoon, we're both wearing sunglasses. |
| 1:33.8 | It wasn't because we were trying to look cool, even though we did look cool. It was because we |
| 1:38.0 | were instructed to without sunglasses, you're going to end up squinting. In fact, I didn't even |
| 1:41.5 | bring sunglasses to San Antonio. I had to go buy those. I purchased those yesterday morning. |
| 1:45.8 | I wore them yesterday afternoon. I rocked them yesterday afternoon. That's interesting. Did |
| 1:49.8 | you happen to see Billy Preston when you purchased those? Because I had to swing by a Macy's, |
| 1:54.1 | pick up a tie for CBS Sports HQ and Preston was walking with Kansas gear on it. I almost did |
