So we start out number three.

Welcome to the program.

Good afternoon.

I am Jim Rome with professional great products for our industry, Grain,ra, as you covered, call it click Grainter.com or just stop on by. If you're joining us late, obviously we hit on the action over the weekend, the madness. You know, this whole notion of the tournament's not all that Rome. It's not what he used to be. N.I wrecked it. The portal was wrecked it. The changing landscape is wrecked it. It's not what it was. I can't push him back on that. And then people were still saying, and when I say people, I mean, those who are saying that the tournament's not all that. It's boring. And I'd say that's just garbage. It's not. It's just a bad take. You're just not seeing these directional schools that you've never heard of. You know, we're not getting that upset. Sienna didn't beat Duke. No, that did not happen. A 16 did not beat a one this year. But it does mean we're not getting absolutely great matchups, some great basketball. Now, there are some beat downs, but there are some incredible moments. What, you're still not entertained. That was one of the all-time great games. Yukon coming back on Duke and doing them the way they did them was absolutely amazing. And I thought Matt and Norlander said it best.

Not that we're here to hate, but Duke getting beat and Duke getting beat the way Duke got

beat is actually great for the tournament because right or wrong people hate Duke.

So to see them go down the way they did, a year after they went down the way they did is pretty incredible.

So they've got a gagging problem now.

Duke has a gagging problem.

And I said earlier that I pride myself on not being one of those lava pigs.

I'm not a hot take artist.

You know, I think about what I say before I say it,

and I'm very careful about saying

that somebody choked. I used to almost never, ever say it about college players because they're not

paid athletes, but they are now. They are now. So they're a fair game. But even then,

calling somebody a choker is pretty much a reason to go if the ones who choked are called chokers. I know because I've done

it and I've gotten a really severe pushback from people that I've called chokers. So I've always

been real careful about that. Not because I didn't want the pushback, but it's a really harsh thing to say.

You know, just like I don't say that that guy or gal or team quit because that's the worst thing you can say about a team or an athlete that they quit, honestly.

Because from the very second any of us ever picked up a bat or a ball, I mean any of us. I mean, it's not even a sports thing.

It's a life thing. We're told from day one almost, don't quit. Never quit. It's okay to lose,

but it's not okay to quit. So that's something else I'm really careful about. Why am I going
