Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hour One - Where Art Thou Fran - @NickyVESPN @Phil__Baker @MarkCStory
Q: How does the panel view ESPN's handling of Big 12 and college basketball broadcasts this season?
They see a mix of criticism and adaptation, suggesting that moving announcers around and consolidating talent may help ratings but can alienate loyal fans who value long-standing broadcast teams.
Hour One - Where Art Thou Fran - @NickyVESPN @Phil__Baker @MarkCStory
Q: What is Mark Pope's year-two assessment according to Mark Story, and what are the main criticisms?
Mark Story would give Pope a C, citing roster construction as a weakness and acknowledging injuries that affected performance, while also noting some big conference wins as positive signs of resilience.
Hour Three - What do you do with Daniel Jones (Joking) - @TheOnlySweeney @NickyVESPN @mbpOn3
Q: Should the Colts put the franchise tag on Daniel Jones?
Yes, because he played well when healthy, and teams often prefer keeping a proven quarterback instead of gambling on a release, especially after an asset-heavy trade.
Hour One - Another Re-Run Show - @TheOnlySweeney @NickyVESPN @clbrownhoops
Q: What did you make of that end game sequence and Pat Kelsey's comments?
CL Brown highlights that Mikell Brown likely did not disregard Coach Kelsey, as there was a previous timeout where similar confusion occurred. He notes that despite the tense moments, it's important to consider the overall game plan and each player's awareness during crucial plays.
Hour Three - Where's Keith Law These Days? - @TheOnlySweeney @NickyVESPN @FaxonPxP
Q: Who on Clemson can do that?
Ace Buckner is capable of putting the ball on the floor and getting to the bucket, essential for Clemson's offensive game.
