I am going to win the National Championship with Tennessee

I am so scared, so, so scared, but I also feel confident that I'm going to win. I'm going to win. I'm going to win this game. Right in blood.

Big Cat (as Coach Duggs) famously lost this game to Virginia Tech later that night, ending the Tennessee dynasty run.

Virginia Tech sucks and their traditions are stupid

The bottom line is Virginia Tech sucks and their traditions are stupid.

The quality of a school and its traditions is inherently subjective.

Having low-hanging fruit for people to criticize is a great shield against being called an asshole

having some low-hanging fruit that everyone can always pin you to is actually not a bad thing. Because then they won't... No one will be like, fuck PFT, I think he's an asshole. They'll be like, fuck PFT, he just didn't give the money he said he was going to give to charity. You basically give them a layup.

This is a philosophical opinion on public perception and PR strategy.

You can get a million dollars for selling a kidney

You can get like a million dollars for a kidney. It's way more than what you need.

The black market price for a kidney is nowhere near $1 million, and selling organs is illegal in the US. Legal donor compensation is also not $1 million.

Conor McGregor's retirement is not real

But I'm sure he's not coming back. No way. In like October. No chance. Or November. Whenever Khabib's next up to fight him.

Conor McGregor did indeed come out of retirement and fight Dustin Poirier in January 2021.

College coaches who claim they don't know what's happening in their programs are lying

Every coach that has ever coached in college basketball or football is the biggest control freak you've ever met. They know everything. They know everything that goes on. Everything that goes on on campus, no matter what.

While logically sound given the nature of coaching, it cannot be definitively proven for every single coach.

Any move I make is by definition a 'Blake move' because I am a Blake

I seem to subscribe to the thought that any move I do is a Blake move because I am a Blake and I'm not sure that you guys can quite speak to that because you've never been a Blake.

This is a tautological and subjective joke based on the show's recurring bit.

NBA players will be mostly fine and ready once the playoffs start in Orlando

I feel like once they get to the actual playoffs, like I think guys will be fine. The only thing I'm really worried about is like injuries. But I think they put enough time in to allow guys to be prepared as possible. But, yeah, there will be some rust, but I don't think it will be too bad.

The NBA Bubble was widely praised for the high quality of play and the competitive intensity once the playoffs began.

Carmelo Anthony will thrive in the Orlando bubble because he's a pickup basketball legend

Carmelo is probably going to be awesome because he loves playing in those gyms. The lifetime fitness all-stars. Those are the guys I'm going to betting on.

Carmelo Anthony was a key contributor for the Blazers in the bubble, hitting several clutch shots and helping them secure a playoff spot.

The NBA season should start on Christmas Day to avoid competing with football

I do think that we should we should push our start date back just because we're having we're competing against college football and nfl football just so big. I feel like the casual fan of sports doesn't really care about basketball until christmas anyway.

The NBA has flirted with this but hasn't permanently moved its start date to December yet.

Jensen Karp is the rat leaking Blake Griffin's info to TMZ

I'm getting a text back right now from my source at TMZ. He says that Jensen Karp is, is your leak is your rat.

This was a comedic bit to stir up drama between friends on the show.

The worst part of vacation is waking up on the third day after binge drinking

Waking up on the third day after binge drinking for two days, and it really just all sets in. I think Thursday. I basically just slept all day.

This is a personal opinion on the worst parts of vacation.

Different state laws are a top reason to stay home rather than go on vacation

Changing state laws. Like getting arrested in Virginia with a radar scanner... So I just like to stay home and I'll come to work anytime. This is way better than a cubicle by any means.

Billy is expressing his personal dislike for interstate legal travel hurdles.
