[speaker001:] Okay, you want to go ahead and tell me your favorite team, or who you think will be doing well this year.
[speaker002:] Uh, well, where I'm from the Atlantic coast conference is a very big conference and, course, we have Duke University that was the national champions last year, so I'm kind of hoping that they'll repeat again this year. They have a lot of the same players back.
[speaker001:] Are we talking about, is this the N B A?
[speaker002:] No, this is college
[speaker001:] This is college,
[speaker002:] basketball.
[speaker001:] College, okay [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Right. We have like Carolina, and Duke, and Georgia Tech, and N C State, teams that are normally ranked in the top twenty.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] So, hopefully we'll have a good year. I don't really [throat clearing] follow the N B A very closely.
[speaker001:] And see that's probably all, all I saw. I, we have moved in the last couple years from Utah to Texas and there's so many [LAUGHTER] colleges and universities in Texas, we haven't really followed them too much and none of them are our, our alma mater [LAUGHTER], so, that seems to help.
[speaker002:] Do you like professional basketball?
[speaker001:] Uh, I, I follow it especially around the playoffs, so, course, I was real familiar with the Utah Jazz, and the Mailman or Karl Malone was, you know, pretty big thing and, the Lakers have always been amazing to watch.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] I, I did keep track a little bit of the Mavericks. They've not had any good seasons [LAUGHTER] for a long time,
[speaker002:] [Cough].
[speaker001:] and have a lot of problems with, with Tarpley and, maybe now that that's over they'll, they'll come out of it but,
[speaker002:] Well, that's an up and coming team, though.
[speaker001:] Yeah, I hope they do something. They need to or they're not going to have [LAUGHTER] any of the team left at all.
[speaker002:] That's somebody you can get behind and,
[speaker001:] [Throat clearing].
[speaker002:] be patient.
[speaker001:] Yeah. Kind of like the Cowboys [LAUGHTER], I guess.
[speaker002:] Yeah, they seem to be kind of not having a very good few seasons.
[speaker001:] Yeah, they, coming out of it this year. We'll see if it's held on.
[speaker002:] But, I think Chicago will probably with the N B A again.
[speaker001:] The Bulls?
[speaker002:] Yeah, uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Yeah. They'll probably be pretty good. Course, the Celtics are always really, [throat clearing] really good, too, with their players.
[speaker002:] That's true.
[speaker001:] Be interesting to see how the Olympics does this year with all the, the N B A players playing on the Olympic team.
[speaker002:] That's true, it will be interesting.
[speaker001:] So,
[speaker002:] It will certainly be different [cough].
[speaker001:] Yeah. I don't know,
[speaker002:] [Cough].
[speaker001:] how close I'll follow them, though. And the season hasn't started yet.
[speaker002:] [Cough].
[speaker001:] I'm usually more the end of the season person, and we need to talk about baseball [LAUGHTER] and so,
[speaker002:] Yeah, oh, my Atlanta Braves.
[speaker001:] Well,
[speaker002:] Well, I really do, uh, you know, the basketball season's supposed to start in the next couple of weeks.
[speaker001:] It's, yeah, yeah.
[speaker002:] It's a long season.
[speaker001:] It is, it is, and that's why I've, I guess my mind went blank. It's like last season was so long ago and I haven't really even started thinking about basketball yet so,
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] But, this wasn't a good subject, but,
[speaker002:] It's a little early.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] We'll see how our predictions come true.
[speaker002:] We definitely will.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] Okay, it's good talking to you.
[speaker002:] Good to talk to you.
[speaker001:] All righty, bye.
[speaker002:] Bye-bye.
