| 0:00.0 | Final four is set. Baseball season underway. Nicks end up losing to the thunder last night. |
| 0:08.4 | But we just await sort of the postseason situation there. And you got a if you're an Islander's guy, man, you got to be fired up for tonight against the Pittsburgh Penguins. |
| 0:18.6 | All right. Let's get some calls in now. Let's go to Raj in New Providence. What's going on, Raj. Hey, good morning, guys. How you doing today? Great, Raj. Big Yukon fan. And, Gia, you'd appreciate this. I missed the entire game because it was my son's fourth birthday party, so I couldn't watch a single minute. But it's the greatest game I haven't watched. Best Yukon win outside of a championship. And I think the mystic and aura of Duke is gone. I mean, this reminds me of that Yankee collapsed in 2004 where, you know, I'm sure they're still a good team. They'll probably win a championship in the near future. But all the stuff we grew up about, you know, Coach K and the Cameron crazy. I mean, the mystic in Ores gone. I think this is, you know, just a classic choke job I do, but just a great, pretty win by Yukon, like Rudy T. said, never underestimate the heart of a champion. Just a great, great win yesterday. Did you check the score throughout the birthday party, I would imagine? Yeah, you know, I did. I have an app on my phone, and I knew we were down, so it's like, all right, I'm not exactly rushing to watch the TV, but, yeah, just, you know, had to keep one eye on the phone, but that's it. I mean, you can't give up family as much of a big game as it was. |
| 1:31.6 | But, yeah, I'm just so glad they pulled it out. And I'll be watching replays for the rest of my life. |
| 1:45.5 | Wow. Absolutely, Raj. Well, I'll say this, Raj, about your Duke statement, I wouldn't count on for them going anywhere because they are the second highest team when it comes to the amount of money spent on their men's basketball program only behind Kentucky. So some reports say somewhere between $22 and $25 million was spent |
| 1:51.8 | on Duke basketball this year. Yeah, but you've got to win as the next guy to keep things going. |
| 1:57.9 | For example, like Danny Hurley. |
| 2:04.1 | So you get the Yukon championship with Jim Calhoun. |
| 2:09.3 | You get the Yukon championship, the one from Kevin Olly. |
| 2:12.5 | And now you got two from Danny Hurley. |
| 2:13.8 | That's how you keep the mystique going. |
| 2:20.1 | For example, Roy Williams, you know, leaves Kansas, and then Bill Self comes in, |
| 2:24.4 | wins a championship. So until Shire does that. But by the way, those who are under totally different circumstances for the most part now, Danny Hurley actually has, you know, gotten here |
| 2:30.9 | through the NIL and has been able to recruit guys and pay guys. |
| 2:34.4 | You could make a case that's actually harder sometimes. |
| 2:36.6 | You could, but what I'm saying is that, as I told you, I don't know, three or four weeks ago, |
| 2:41.4 | there are tiers of teams and the money spent on particular athletic programs, |
| 2:46.1 | in particular the basketball program. |
| 2:47.9 | And when you see the Sweet 16, almost all of those teams, including |
| 2:51.5 | High Point, in the Sweet 16, have huge budgets for their basketball programs. |
| 2:58.9 | Yeah. So we're shocked that any of them are here? No, but the point being is, though, |
| 3:03.4 | that no one's thinking about that at Duke right now. I mean, they're, you know, I'm giving these examples of Duke fans and everybody who's playing Duke are all going to compare them to the past. They're not, there's not this line of demarcation in sports arguments like pre-nil, post-nil. It's Duke is Duke and you hate Duke. So if they don't end up winning when Coach K is not the coach for years and years and |
