Let's talk a little bit of March Madness and then we'll have a couple giveaway winners for you guys as promised. But my March Madness, man, March Madness is such a fun time of year. It's quite frankly, if I'm honest, it's really the only time I can watch college basketball because I can't really get into college basketball. It just never makes sense to me how in college basketball you're guarding every player the same. Like if we got Steph Curry coming off a screen and roll in college basketball and me coming off a screen and roll in college basketball, And BP, Brandon Podziemski, coming off. In college, they gonna guard that ball screen the same exact way no matter which one. And you probably like, you can't possibly tell me that best suits your defense. Like, guarding a screen and roll with Steph Curry the same way that you guard a screen and roll with me, like, you just can't tell me that that puts you in the best position to be successful. And so you watch like these college games And like these coaches make no adjustments. Like if you start off with something that work, it works till the end of the game. Like they don't wanna make any adjustments. It just, it doesn't make sense to me. The basketball be so bad. Like you watch most of these games, the basketball be awful. Like again, I am someone that pride myself on basketball IQ and sometimes I'm watching some of these games just trying to figure out the type of offense they running. You can't even make it out. Like you can't even make out what style of offense they run. So I only watched during March Madness. And in saying that, you know, for me as someone who went through it, I'm not sure I have like crazy favorite moments of March Madness. Like everybody loves the upsets. That's great. Like fine. But like, I don't, I'm not one that kind of has this, These all like these favorite moments. My favorite moment would be winning the championship. I never fucking done it. I lost in the championship. And so I'm just not gifted with that moment. I think the one moment I love the most, if I had to point to any moment, is seeing the one shining moment at the end of the game, at the end of the NCAA final. Because Coach Izzo preached that to us. Like he made you have such a strong appreciation for that song. Because that's all he talked about every year, all year. It's like, yo, like, you just want to be like— you want to be the last one standing. You want to hear that One Shining Moment playing while you're standing on the court. Like, and so he would just talk that to us all the time. So I have such a large appreciation for that moment because that's the moment that was kind of embedded in us. That's the moment that was sold to us. And obviously I never got a chance to live it, but I always enjoy seeing it because it was something that I strived for. And it's one of few goals that I never reached. But if I had to pick, that would be one of my favorite moments. Today we got my Spartans, Michigan State versus Mississippi State. And when we win, we will play North Carolina. And I am telling y'all, Yeah. Izzo don't lose the second game in a weekend. You give me the first game, this is Tom Izzo talking to you. You give me the first game, I will get you the second game. You give me the first, I'll get you the second game of the weekend. Not often does he fail when he say that. And he say that every time. So I'm rolling with my Spartans to beat Mississippi State. I'm rolling with my Spartans to beat North Carolina. I hope for your bracket's sake that you roll with the same thing. 'Cause if not, you will be like Quindary Weatherspoon, who called me talking about he wants to bet on Mississippi State, which is a football school, and he wanna bet on them against my Spartans.
What?
If you see this episode before the end of that game, this will be taken off the episode if we lose. And if you see this episode at the end of the game, you will not see this part. So don't even worry about it. It'll be a social media behind the scenes, edited scenes, and I'll just give it to y'all that way. But. Go Spartans. Tom Izzo, Mr. March. This is his time of year. Lock in, this is gonna be a fun one.
