Transcript excerpt: Like Jerry Reinsdorf was making me hate baseball. So in order to save my relationship with the sport, I ditched the White Sox and the Giants were a natural choice. Danny, [snorts] you going to take in any baseball today? I mean, solid sports day. You throw in the Houston Open opening round, finish it with Tom's Illini against Houston and best game of the night as the nightcap. How How we feeling here on this Thursday? Uh it's going to be great. I did uh I was a little uh taken aback by Barry Bonds saying he was almost a Yankee until he hung up the phone on George Steinbrenner when he gave him a deadline, which I yeah, it was a great story from Barry Bonds. And James Winston on the coverage with Netflix, former sports star at Florida State. >> That's true, by the way, the Bonds story, apparently. Um the other one is like the Maddux was was also almost a Yankee. And they didn't respond to him in time. That sounds like a Steinbrenner >> have been unfair. Like there's 98 Yankees teams with Maddux. It would have been insane. I mean, a big weekend, too. Seagate Club Championship. I'm on to the and the crown. So because it's all matches, right? We had 16 qualified, won my first round. We got three more to go. I'm going to give you give you that. So speaking of match play, I'll go ahead, Danny. Depends on when it is in the match and it depends on the opponent. Usually early in the match, we're pretty friendly, you know, you give a three-footer, two and a half footer. All right, let's uh let's >> the guys' tournament season were like for two years, we're in the trillions. >> [laughter] >> Uh well, best best of luck, Danny. Uh go out there and get it done. Throw a little distraction uh behind the green on the home hole. Say, you know, fi- figure out some way to be able to to throw them off their game. Uh all right, so this weekend we have spring games because while uh and for those of you who are wondering, yes, I am in Houston right now. We will be covering tonight's Sweet 16 and then Saturday's Elite Eight action from the South Regional. Uh both Iowa and Nebraska's here. Oh man, they're here. We you might have seen uh Bush Light has already promised even more crates and pallets to to be delivered to the city. Um but Nebraska back in Lincoln is going to have its spring game. We've got two uh notable power conference spring games coming up this weekend. So I want to turn your attention to that. The Nebraska one will be on television. You can watch it at noon Eastern, 11 local on Big Ten Network. I'm I'm definitely going to be watching it. Live stream of Tom watching the spring game. Always something that we've been pitching to our bosses for years. Uh but Clemson the Clemson Tigers are going to have their spring game, but if you want to see Chris Vizzina, if you want to see this Clemson team, you got you got to drive to the upstate because because they are not going to have this one on television. You can have any like takeaways for that of what you will in terms of what that might say or not say about the product put on the field, but um what should fans be looking for? So in all seriousness, fans who want to tune tune in and watch Nebraska, what do you think are are some of the top things that we're going to be looking for from Matt Rhule's crew? I mean, quarterback, clearly. Like how good is Claria? Is he operating it cleanly? Um you know, pass rush for Nebraska, right? Like their their D-line took a major step back. Uh last year at after losing what? Hutzler and and Hutzler and who was the other guy? Like they lost like two studs off that 2014. And it was we were on this earlier. I was like, this is not uh this is not the same quality of player.
