Very well said Kean your thoughts on this well first of all I like her so do I so so there’s a lot of people gonna dislike Haley now she she stepped in it and I appreciate that for sticking up for her teammates and being a part of

That but when you start talking about certain and and and I hate having to deal with this type of stuff skip all the time but when you start talking about regions in different areas and perspectives of how people think yep you know the individual that wrote the the

Article in the LA Times Obviously feel felt a certain way at that particular time when they wrote the article about LSU’s basketball program appared compared to UCLA’s Y where at UCLA they’re the you know they’re the sweethearts they’re American sweethearts they’re the the the milk and cookies as

They refer to it as what and you look at it and he says that the uh deutans the dirty I now first of all I don’t even know what the hell that is okay other than something that they new in the South and that that’s a South thing it’s

A regional thing in that particular region I had to look it up to find out you know obviously I know what Louisiana hot sauce is like I probably got about three or four bottles sitting in my cabinet at home right now and I do use

It now you say well is it racist I don’t I don’t know if the individual that wrote the article is a racist or not because I don’t know them I have no idea I’ve never interacted with them at all but I can certainly tell you what it is

It’s what I call dog whistling okay you can’t have it both ways you can’t and what I mean by this is you can’t all of a sudden say these things but all of a sudden say no no I didn’t I didn’t mean it that way to protect your job so you

Redact something if you didn’t mean it to be hurtful you wouldn’t be redacting anything well the LA Times redacted it yes but I work for the LA Times so therefore that means that I redacted it just because the overall uh scope and the ation of the people says no no we

Can’t do that the editor who go and you a columnist you know how this stuff work you wrote for many years you going to send in your work they going to do what they need to do and then they going to stamp it of approval somebody approved

It somebody right skip somebody had to approve it it wasn’t just I’m writing it and I’m putting it in the newspaper myself it went to the editor the editor saw it read it and signed off on it I’ll hold off until Paul goes and then you

Know and so when you when you look at it it’s misinformed it’s ill misinformed and it’s ridiculous that we still in this day and age have to deal with this sort of behavior by people the dog whistling and the little subtle things we see it all the time in sports man it

Been going on for years it ain’t nothing new if it’s a if it’s a white football player who happens to be sneaky fast and really good and in and out of the building the first one and he’s smart his dad’s grew up as a coach don’t don’t

Just say the dude’s good man where he’s a hard worker where the other guy god-given Talent he really didn’t have to work it’s all those little bitty things that they put out there in the universe now this team obviously is going on and they GNA play tonight in a

Big time game against Iowa it’ll be the most watch game ever well I’m gonna be watching waiting for another game but I’m going to watch it too with Paul probably but in the end it’s ridiculous that this is even being talked about yeah and I understand

Kim Moi some of the writers and stuff they they kind of coming at her about her career and who she is she goes at them yeah but that but I’m well she should okay if they trying to assassinate her character and who she is you absolutely should protect yourself

All right go Paul I see as this trying to create a narrative and when one teams looks a certain way as the LSU Tigers look you have black women who are demonstrative who talk trash and on other hand that other teams if they don’t do that they’re looked at as more

Classy but look LSU has won a championship this way I mean this is sports and we got what we got to understand in sports you’re going to have different personalities people who come from certain places like for me is for an example in the men’s game this is

Every day this is every day I about to tell you a whole lot of men’s teams have one championships being that way right exactly and so now brought to the girls game and now we finally spark some interest in all of this halfway I mean

It’s on a whole another skip I I’m not I’m so anticipating watching this game tonight Y and for these articles to come out and just try to change the whole narrative and paint LSU as the team that’s wearing a black hat that’s fine I I actually love it you know I was one

That wore the black hat and so you’re trying to say good versus evil black hat whatever LSU has taken on the personality of their head coach and they’ve won that way yeah we see the hand waving from AEL Reesa the ring finger and the other teams are not doing

These things so that’s classless well listen if this is going to produce you winning and doing it how you want to do it then keep going Angel Reese keep going Kim because I love it I know you guys are going to watch and I’m going to embrace them but I

Don’t see any racism in all of this so what I see is a spark in the game that’s much needed and I’m glad that they’re able to play the villain role and just continue to go out there and win and do it with a smile on their face

I’ve only seen this type of thing one other time that I can remember as I was thinking about it is in ‘ 88 the Catholics versus the criminals oh that’s the only college football with Miami played Notre D and it was the Catholics versus the criminals because it was socalled allegedly questionable

Character you Catholics versus the convicts convicts convicts criminals convicts I’ll get it right whatever you going to jail regardless the way they the way they made it sound that’s what what it was but that’s the only time I’ve ever seen that skip other than that I’ve never seen this before okay allow

Me to make the most obvious statement in the history of the world is racism still alive hell out there in our country you better believe it is so we accept that as a given before we plunge into this now to your point this writer at the LA Times is he

Racist I have no idea I don’t know him don’t know him I do all right at least I should say I used to know the LA times because I worked there back in the day when it was a top five sports section in the United States of America we thought

It was the top one sports section trust me on this when I turned in whatever piece the work I did it would get edited by at least three people and there’s no way dirty debutant would get through yes okay I’d never heard of dirty debutants

Either Kim Moi said she looked it up and she was just like astounded by it at one point it was used as the title of a porn show some kind of porn show so anyway it’s got a terrible it’s got a terrible connotation right okay so the point is

How can that get through in today’s LA Times okay I do know this reading the bio of the beat writer he’s the beat writer for UCLA he wrote a book about for UCLA fans about things to love about UCLA Sports so as you know from your

Time plan you know from your time plan this wasn’t a columnist writing this this was the beat writer who clearly loves day yeah Cory close is the UCLA coach and she’s the flip side for journalists to Kim muli because she’s come one come all she Embraces she’s easy to talk she’s always accessible

She’s willing she’s a great quote she’s a quote machine and Kim is difficult for the media because she doesn’t take nothing off nobody so if she doesn’t like you she’s going to stiff arm you and if she doesn’t like what you right she’s going to attack back okay well a

Lot of journalists don’t love that so that was the Crux to me of the motivation of his article is well here’s Corey close versus Kim M and it’s sort of good versus evil in a journalist point of view right okay so now dirty debutant gets through and it becomes the

The flash point of this article where you’re like and and it comes across as racist to me so that that is a racist description and yet the LA Times after I was ashamed of the LA Times they did have the good sense to go back in

And take that phrase in several I I think they took the good versus evil out I think when I ReRe it and reposted cleaned up okay so at least they did that much but but again it’s such a flasho that it creates the The Narrative of well is the world racist against LSU

And is there some out there sure there is now let’s look at the bright side of this I was there Courtside in 1979 when Magic Johnson and Larry Bird played and trust me on this it broke all the ratings record because For the first

Time in a long time we had a white guy who looked like he was going to be really good right he was pretty good he was pretty good and he was pretty good at Indiana State and we had a black Superstar who was as charismatic as any

Who ever came down the pike to to this moment has there ever been any more charismatic than Magic Johnson I don’t think so I I haven’t I don’t know one so you had magic versus bird in Salt Lake City in the national championship game and it blew the top off the rating Lake

City yeah in Salt Lake City how about that how about that for a little irony right in salake City okay and and you can’t tell me that part of the motivation for watching it was that white people said well we finally got somebody who can actually he’s not great

White hype he’s actually Great White Hope right he was legit so tonight we have Caitlyn Clark the greatest scorer in the history of women’s college basketball and she is legit she can flat out play LSU is just as legit and last year in the Championship Game LSU wiped

Out Caitlyn Clark and Iowa and so now we got a rematch here so let’s talk about on court for a second here L I mean sorry Iowa is a point and a half favorite in this game and I I don’t get it what are your thoughts on

The matchup it’s a great matchup it’s great for TV I I think LSU is gonna win I think they’re the more physical team I I I think they’re out to prove something once again yeah you know they did it last year and they’re not settling on that they know what’s going on what’s

Being said and they’re using by way huge motivation huge I feel like the same thing going to happen tonight you know Caitlyn has been great for for all of women’s basketball LSU has been great and I’m tuning in and I’m not sure how many final four girls

Matches I’ve watched in college so good they they got you they got me they got me I’m in and I know you’re all about ju guu Watkins and USC of course of course I’m Juju Allan Don Staley all in yeah uh I want to see them that’s really all I

Care about as far as that goes but when you talk about tonight’s game in order for Iowa to win this game though Caitlyn Clark has to be able to hit buckets at The Rim not just shoot threes go back to last year she probably had man she

Probably launched 20 some threes in the game like like she needs to be able to do a little bit more than to just be pulling up pulling up pulling up pulling up cuz they gonna be waiting for it I mean they going to be they going to be

Trying to they going to be trying to make her do things that she hadn’t done and showing them in the past Kim Mo’s a hell of a coach and you mentioned the UCLA I go back to the UCLA for a second you mentioned the coach at UCLA is kind

Of over here she’s get the flowers and the roses and and Kim gets nothing well she got four championships including one last year including one last year three at got the L come on yeah that’s what I’m saying so she get she can do and say and treat the

Media to the degree how she feels because she deserve that if she feels that they’ve been doing her and treating her in her players role then yeah she has to defend her guys by the way I think she won two at Louisiana Tech as point guard and I think she won one for

The USA as in gold medal yeah I didn’t even go through her entire B okay so she’s just like Championship everywhere now as far as the game go I might watch it with Paul tonight I don’t know I haven’t decided but I’m certainly gonna be watching the USC game okay this one

Is interesting but the USC game number one versus okay who you got in this game I’m going to take LSU yeah cuz I don’t think that Iowa has enough they got Caitlyn Clark who only thing she’s missing from her resume is a national championship right if she gets a

National title then maybe she goes down as the greatest ever in college basketball or whatever you want to call it that Championship is key all those box scores and those statistics and three points and this that and other is cool I I embrace it but if you ain’t got

That ring Li is just a bunch of empty stats at the end of the day I understand you know so I got LSU I I think it stops here though I do I think it stops tonight I was shocked when I saw this point spread because I was trying to

Guess the point spreads as I tell you and I thought LSU would be favored by five in this game seriously I know LSU is the three seed versus the one seed but how LSU underachieved all year I don’t know because I didn’t watch him that closely but they underachieved

South Carolina was in their way too no no okay I and you’re you’re right but when I look at LSU I look at fla J Johnson and she might not quite be Caitlyn but she’s close and she averaged 20 and six for them and she can do stuff

With the basketball and you’re going to see her on display fulltime tonight and then I I look at Ana Marl comes in and she’s 17 with eight rebounds and every time she comes in the game she just changes the game and need I neglect talking about angel Reese because bywise

Speaking of charismatic she’s got great big personality and it manifests on the floor and it it Sparks the team and she averages 15 and 14 rebounds well they’re they’re just they’re too physical to me like that’s just too much big they’re long so Iowa has four starters including

Caitlyn who average seven boards a game seven seven seven seven it’s not good enough so watch what’s going to happen they will pack it in a little tight Zone and they will dare LSU to make threes and if LSU can just make 30% of their their threes they’re going to romp and

Stomp again they won the game last year by 17 and they look like they’re just clearly a better basketball team overall so I I got them winning pretty easily me too thanks for watching Undisputed fans do you want more highlights from the show make sure to click that subscribe
