1:04Hybrid has to do a little of everything. School bags, speech chairs, a grocery run, I swore would be small. And somehow there's still room in my sister-tex. I'm landing in Burbank, compact me up.

Find your way forward at Kia.com Kia, movement that inspires. Let's go to Pat, who's next on 971. Hello Pat. Hey, how you guys doing today? It's been a long, long time. What's up? We appreciate it. Hey, I just, yeah, that's been many years, but I just thought, you know, take a different point of view on this. Yeah. What you say about the Big 10 Revenue Stream is 100% true. However, a couple of different ways to look at it. One, what college further playoff system has done is made all the mid-level goals irrelevant. Nobody watches, nobody cares. What you're doing by expanding it to 2014 is taking those goals like we used to be,

2:08the music city pool, get 10,000 people. All of a sudden it's going to be a televised game part of the playoff system. Now you get 50,000 people in there. So all these secondary goals become real, meaningful goals. And so now, you know, there's a whole other revenue streamers, a whole little level of interest. At the same time, you know, we've seen March Madness expand and what happened with that? It did nothing more than increase viewership. Same thing with one of the playoffs system. So I can see a big 10 perspective. If you're a Michigan fan or a house state fan, Penn State, the whole group, I don't want to lose my, you know, my normal rivalries. I don't want to lose the end of the year, of course, the games. However, all the rest of the teams, many, many other teams in country, if you like, hey, I get it in. I get a chance to play in part of a packhouse and meaningful goal. Pat, what if I told you, bowl ratings went up last season? But did they go up in the little bowls? Or did they only go up in the playoffs? Bowl season average, bowl season average just under three million viewers for the season, which was up 14%. The Florida citrus sports that put on

3:12the cheese at bowl was a big winner. Pop Tarts Bowl, also a big winner, the tax later gator bowl, not the playoff games, the bowls. Okay, so you think all the bowls, I don't know if I did across the board, bowl viewership was up 14%. But that's part of that's because now you can battle on these games. 100% true, but he says nobody cares. Well, actually, and he actually said nobody's watching. More people were watching year to year. So how many more will watch if those become the first let me back up. I want to back up though, Pat, you brought up some points that were all valid and almost all of them were financial until you got to. There's a bunch of teams that would wanted to expand because they have a chance to get in. And that that might be true. Okay, you might have a lot of mid-level college programs that say, okay, I might be able to get in now at eight and four if I'm wake forest. Right. But but I don't know that that's a good reason for everyone to be in favor because most of the teams the country not clamoring for more wake forest. Correct. Most of

4:15the teams that will get in the last team in they're not going to win the national championship. That's the thing with basketball. I mean, there's 64 teams. I mean, how many have a legitimate chance to win? Maybe 20 maybe that's I'm being liberal. Early. I don't maybe think eight. And now you know, expanding now from 64 to 66 to 68 with an extra playing game which to me is who cares anyway. And that doesn't bother me because those new shoes, new clothes, brand new grade switched a Verizon to make sure their tech keeps up.

It seats seven, has over 600 miles of range and makes the 134 feel a little less like a test of character. Because it's not about competition anymore at one point the purity of the game and why you played and started all this was you wanted to find out who's the best at whatever sport whatever it

6:23is right that has gone out the window and it's now it's entertainment. I hate to tell people that but straight up it's entertainment. It's how do I get more people to watch how to somewhere advertising time all that stuff and if they continue and we're part of the problem the public because Doug you put it you bring up the ratings if we continue to watch and they continue to go up and they see that whether it's gambling or whatever it is they're not going to stop. Why would they stop? It's a cash cow. It's all money. It's everything in this entertainment. It's not about what's fair what's right and what oh, find out who the best team is. No, it's about finding out. Getting storylines and getting people to watch. I think the college football needs to be very careful because college football taps into can what do you say about college college football fans? Y'all are crazy. And in that craziness is driven a lot by tradition. Yeah. And if you're homogenizing it and turning it into a mini NFL, I think it kills a very important part of the game. But hopefully cooler heads prevail and

7:25they don't expand the plan. Yeah, it would make no sense. And in Pat for dollars and we asked for collars. We got one. Yeah. One. Yeah. Okay. Uh, you had a run in last night. Yeah. We're West Bloomfield open up their home season with a win over Troy 3321. I've been doing the public address announcing as you know, at West Bloomfield High School to my community service for a long time. Since I believe Ron Bellamy's first year as the head coach at West Boom Coast, I think it's 2000. Great to. And we have a lot of cool people there help with the scoreboards and all that kind of stuff. So yesterday, I'm not going to mention anyone's name. Okay, because we're going to protect the guilty, not even the innocent. The game's going on where we're we're we're winning pretty easily at this time. And all of a sudden somebody walks in the depressed box and starts screaming at me. Stony. This place is dead. Get some music going. This I've never been to a high school game before

8:27where the crowd is so dead. What's going on here? You know, where's the band? Do you think you were a DJ? I said, I said, excuse me. I don't control the music. I just try to announce who has the ball, who makes the tackle. And it was the end of it, basically, because I don't know how he even got in there because the person is usually somebody there who doesn't let people in the press box. Anyway, and then at the end of the game, I told the athletic director and the principal about what happened. And they were like, you got to be kidn me. So, you know, so and then I saw this person and we were discussing it again. And he was getting a little heated again about it. And then I said, well, talk to them. So he's talking to the principal and the athletic director goes, you know, Troy had their pet band. What we have a band, I said, wait a second, our band was there. We have a very small band. You know, Troy is a renowned band. I mean, Jamie's daughter does the flag stuff and they didn't do it on the road games,

9:31but whatever. And it was just like, you got to be kidn me. Now, maybe he and by before the game, I have no idea because from all to everybody tells me and I've I've met this person before. This is kind of unique for his personality. But man, well, I've got just got me saying, thinking parents for high school sports. Oh, God. Just come on. Have you two, four, eight, five, three, nine, seven, ninety seven, what's your worst encounter with high school parents in sports? Oh, God. I feel like so I'm just entering my kids are real young. They haven't really gotten into a competitive sports or anything like that yet. And don't you've been through it, Stoney, you've been through it. I find and it's not just sports. I know we're going to focus on sports here, but I find in general when there's issues with a kid or whatever, it's not the kid. It's the parents. It's like almost always the parents. I just look to the parents and go, yep, that makes sense now. Like why are you know, like relax, right? Like I can't believe they came into the press

10:33bar. The buddy was sitting in the stands and got motivated to go find the press box, the door, walk in. He could more music. And in fact, the band was told by the officials to stop playing right before the snap count, you know, right? They didn't want to play in there. Yeah. And it was look, it was a late start. It's a holiday weekend. It wasn't a huge crowd, but you know, but he was comfortable about it. Yes. What's crazy? And he thought you, yeah, Mr. Mr. Nonconfrontation. And you are, and he was a follow up. Yeah. Yeah. It was, it was, it was that's wow. Well, I don't like making generalizations, right? But the craziest parents are hockey parents. Oh, really? Well, I'm through my experience. Okay. Yeah. Hockey parents are can get very, very emotional. And I am a big believer of the following

11:41credo. Parents from opposing teams should only say the following things to one another. Good luck and good game. That is it. Nothing else should be allowed. That's a great point. Nothing else should be allowed. And what when I hear parents from teams interacting, I'm like, Oh God. But I will say another consistent behavior that drives me crazy is people complaining about the officiating and yelling at refs at high school games. It's hard to find refs these days. Oh, I know. They're not getting rich doing it. And I will put a teal like this. Your kids stinks and the ref stinks. Everybody's out there for a reason.

12:42If you start thinking about the quality of officiating at the NBA NFL level, then you got the next wave of officials that are like working a college level. Right. When you start getting down to the high school level, guys who have jobs, men and women who have jobs that then are showing up on a Friday night, not getting rich doing it. Some of them are, I mean, I don't want to say volunteering. Right. But I hear some of the things I hear parents yell at officials and umpires. I'm like, this is why you can't get them. You know, it's also horrible. When I've experienced this high school basketball games where the parents just bitch at the coaches about playing time and, you know, what offense are they running? And in basketball, it's worse because you're so close. The coaches, everybody can hear football, you know, you can bitch all you want and the coach will never hear it pretty much. Well, those are the consistent behaviors that I have seen. But I have

13:46never heard. I'm today, years old. The first time I've heard of somebody yelling at the PA announcer to play more music. Yeah. I do. I wish you would have. I wish you would have played like Mozart or something to put the like, I wish I would have turned on my phone and videotape them. Right. Well, you have to be careful. I didn't want to, you know, you know, live stream it. 248-539-97-97. Heading back to campus, timed web grades your entire text setup.
