00:00
Mike, I got to tell you, seriously, I just saw Joe Minardi is doing Bracketology and
00:12
we're in like the ninth day of the college basketball season.
00:17
My man has already got Kansas as the top seed and San Diego State the first team out, Michigan
00:24
the last team in.
00:26
He's got-
00:27
I can't do it.
00:28
I refuse.
00:29
I refuse.
00:30
I refuse.
00:31
Should it be against the law to start doing Bracketology the like ninth day of the season?
00:40
This guy's already putting out who's going to be in the NCAA tournament.
00:44
I mean, what is happening to the world?
00:47
This shouldn't even be allowed.
00:49
I think no one should even mention anything about the NCAA tournament or their at-large
00:56
berths or their top seeds until, at a minimum, February the 1st, which is one month before.
01:05
But because I know the world that we live in, I'd even take January 1st because I know
01:11
they've got to pump Minardi out there.
01:13
They're going to do it every week, the entire season.
01:18
Doing Bracketology in the middle of November when teams haven't played- there are teams
01:25
that haven't even played two games yet.
01:27
What's Indiana played?
01:28
One game?
01:29
Two.
01:30
Played two games.
01:31
Two games.
01:32
Three games.
01:33
Tops.
01:34
Is the most ridiculous thing ever.
01:36
And I understand you need to justify paying Joe and the other big Bracketologists all
01:42
across the country their salaries by make sure you're churning out that Bracketology content.
01:49
But in the middle of November is a disgrace.
01:52
It's just we don't need it.
01:53
We don't need it.
01:54
It's just too much.
01:55
Now, there's probably people, Scotty, that all they do is watch college basketball.
02:00
They don't care about anything else and the rest of the world, NFL, NBA, nothing else
02:05
exists to them.
02:07
Even those people cannot defend doing a Bracketology on November the 12th or whatever we're at
02:13
right now.
02:14
It is November 12th.
02:15
It's ridiculous.
02:16
Nonsense.
02:17
It really is.
02:18
Nonsense.
02:19
I can't have it.
02:20
And I won't have it.
02:21
And I won't accept it.
02:22
It's ridiculous.
02:23
Anybody who's the top seed of the NCAA tournament, no date before January 1st to be allowed to
02:29
do that.
02:30
San Diego State, the first team out.
02:31
Can you imagine?
02:32
First team out.
02:33
The first team out.
02:34
They're already out.
02:35
Play a conference game.
02:36
They played anybody yet.
02:37
Like, I mean, who plays some games?
02:38
They play Occidental tonight.
02:39
I mean, you've got to be kidding me with this stuff.
