I am officially starting a #FireMikeHopkins campaign for the Washington Huskies

I gave Spencer Hawes our good friend my word that I would start a fire Mike Hopkins hashtag. So if anyone wants to join me on that, the Huskies, I think have not been to the tournament in like three or four years. So we'll do, maybe I'll do that for him. Mike Hopkins, you suck.

Hopkins was eventually fired by Washington in March 2024 after several mediocre seasons.

The next Syracuse head coach should be forced to run the 2-3 zone in perpetuity

I hope whoever the next coach is at Syracuse, they should just have to run the zone forever. That should be Boeheim's legacy. Like I will retire, but you have to run my zone in, in perpetuity for the next hundred years.

Syracuse's next coach, Adrian Autry, did initially state he would use the zone less, and they transitioned toward more man-to-man defense.

It is Rick Pitino or bust for the St. John's head coaching job

Rick Pitino better be at a major school next year because it's time. And there's some openings that perfectly fit Rick Pitino... The choice for St. John's now really is a simple one: Rick Pitino or bust.

Rick Pitino was hired as the head coach of St. John's on March 20, 2023.

Aaron Rodgers might retire just to prove he doesn't need the $59 million

The more I think about it, the more he might retire just so that he could have the Trump card on everybody to be like, yeah, I'm the motherfucker who walked away from 59 million. Like, like that's his credibility... I think that Aaron might actually retire just so that he can have that moral high ground for the rest of his career.

Aaron Rodgers did not retire; he was traded to the New York Jets and accepted a restructured contract.

Michigan was definitively the better team in the National Championship and it never felt like UConn was in danger of winning.

Michigan was the better team. We all saw it. It never felt like [the game] was in danger. Like the only moment that I was like, oh, UConn might have a chance, was when there was like maybe five and a half minutes left and Mullens missed that three to cut it to four.

The episode presents Michigan winning the 2026 National Championship as a fact within the show's timeline.

Michigan was the best team all year — outside of Duke, who would have won the championship by a lot

They were the best team. They were the best team all year outside of Duke. 'Cause that actually was my other big takeaway — Duke just completely, Duke beat this Michigan team a month and a half ago.

Subjective comparison of team quality. Duke did beat Michigan during the regular season in 2025-26.

Danny Hurley is 18-1 against the spread in his last four NCAA tournaments, which is insane

Danny Hurley remains 18 and one in the last four tournaments against the spread. How insane is that? Furman is the only one that they didn't cover. That was the first round this year.

This is a factual claim about Hurley's ATS record over the last four NCAA tournaments. Based on UConn's remarkable tournament run, this is plausible and presented as a known stat. Cannot fully verify exact record but the claim is stated as fact.
