Who are nico and harlabob?

---

Nico Harrison is a former Nike executive who is now the Mavericks GM. He has relationships with tons of players, agents, and front offices due to his role at Nike.

Haralabob Voulgaris is a former pro poker player turned analytics guy who seems to lack interpersonal relationship skills.

---

Thanks.

---

He was a former poker player but is better known for being one of the best NBA gamblers of all time. He realized a couple things (that seem obvious now) and took advantage of them to make a ton of money. For example, he realized that if a team total for the game was 102, then the books would just set the first and second half totals at 51 each, even though more points were scored in the second half of games (because of fouling, end of game situations, etc). I'm sure there were more examples, but that's the one I remember.

He's also big into crypto now. Sounds like he's no longer with the team, but he may still be working for Cuban in some capacity.

Yes, sorry I definitely didn't give a good explanation of why a poker player would be hired by the Mavs. Dude definitely has a mind for finding an edge in the NBA.

Longshot:

Does anyone have audio/link to Gordo as Jame Gumb doing a fashion segment? It's from 2008...(?)........

I couldn't find anything on the UnTicket.

So now Corby says he HATED SEC slander the past 10 years. LOL revisionist okie

I feel for his wife. She basically lives with two 12 year olds and however old the oldest son is. His opinion is literally whichever way the wind is blowing. I don't know how you guys keep listening to him every day. F'ing brutal.

Bob actually presenting logic to counter corbys superlative claims was good to hear

Amen to that. Hearing Bob speak objectively and knowledgeably about all this really highlights what a babbling idiot Corby is.

Thank God for Bob

Corby and Jr parrot what they see/hear on Sooner Twitter.

Bob actually takes the time to research things.

I bet anytime Corby talks college football you can probably go find his talking points almost verbatim from Soonerfans that day/week.

After listening to Corby I'm now convinced he has no f****** conception of how good the mid-tier of the SEC is versus the any tier he chooses of the Big 12. Bob is exactly right, every SEC team has NFL talent based UPON THE NFL DRAFT. And Corby discounted that lol.

It's called depth, Corby. There is a reason Bama is really really good. They have a whole team of 4 and 5 stars on the bench. And Miss State has a whole team of 3 stars on the bench. Iowa State has 22 good players, and 1 and 2 stars on the bench

It's a line of scrimmage and depth league. If you can't see that, you have no business discussing CFB.

Little different when your 'easy' game is MSU or Ole Miss, rather than Kansas.

Proud to say I've tuned out Corby with any sports related talk for 10 straight years. He can be entertaining at times but he's literally an infant when it comes to sports.

As great as Bob is, my one disappointment since he joined the HL is his compulsion to bring his efight with someone that pulled him offsides onto the air. Why he'd feel compelled to address a Simone Biles email from "Max" on air, I have no idea.

Max won, Bob. Max won.

They were going to talk about it anyway. Bob was totally playing radio. Sure, he may not have heard of the story until that dumb*ss dm'ed him, but he would have. Impossible to avoid on social media today.

Went back and listened. Holy crap that was completely awful radio...so freaking cringeworthy. The strawman Bob set up to defeat on air was almost as bad as the racist bank security guard that Danny brought to the show. Speaking of which, did they ever follow up on that ridiculous story that was based on the word of an 11 year old?

Again I ask what's keeping you guys tuned into the hardline anymore. They even managed to ruin Bob. I just don't get it.

Bob started by making a great point about mid tier SEC is nothing like mid tier big 12, and then corby acted like a child mid tier is mid tier. He basically said Iowa state and Kansas state are the same as Mississippi state and Ole Miss. It's amazing how uninformed and delusional corby is about the grind of the SEC. Bob just backed down and took it.

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

True...except that makes for terrible radio.

That's never been his MO though. He decided a good segment was to call out an email to tell the dude how dumb he was, so clearly he's not above calling out idiots.

The emailer isn't sitting 3 feet from him, arguing back, and going to be sitting next to Bob for the next 20 years. Not exactly the same situation.

Fair enough. But that dude sitting 3 feet away from him for the next 20 years will continue to refer to himself as the cfb blowhard, that knows absolutely nothing about cfb and certainly nothing about the SEC. Might as well fire back with some correct information. Corby said that "no doubt" this year's Iowa state would beat Dak's Mississippi state teams, and there was no rebuttal. That's sad, bc of just how wrong it was, but no one challenged him on it.

In Bob's defense, he was trying to move on and not get bogged down. You could hear him pause but he decided to keep rolling.

Corby will find out soon enough how good those middle teams are in the SEC.

A POST TO FILE A FORMAL CRITIQUE OF JUNIOR MILLER'S COLLEGE FOOTBALL CONFERENCE KNOWLEDGE

My goodness that discussion on re-alignment was maddening. He sounded like a 7th grader. MONEY is driving all of this. Texas and OU don't really want to join the SEC. They'd rather walk though the B12 but that conference is dead because of money. They have to join the SEC because college football is about to become a thing of elites. The SEC and ESPN are going to drive it.

The P12 has no interest in any remaining B12 school because there's no MONEY.

The P12 and ACC is all but dead as well. Only the Big 10 has any hope of survival but the reality is the SEC and ESPN are about to create a completely new landscape in college football.

NOW IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME I'M GOING TO TRY AND NOT LET A RADIO HOST EFFECT MY DAILY LIFE. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME.

WHY DO YOU EVEN LISTEN?!!

Maybe it's just semantics. Obviously the SEC is by far the best conference in the country and it's not even a fair comparison with the Big 12. But I don't think the difference between the "mid tier" teams is the correct way to look at it. For one, are Mississippi state and ole miss mid tier? Not really. They are usually bottom tier, at least lately. I know it changes all the time, but lately the only teams they are above are vandy and Arkansas, and I guess they are about even with kentucky, tennesse, SC, and mizzu. They are somewhere in the 7-12 range depending on the year. So maybe mid tier, maybe bottom third tier. Iowa state has definitely been better than the Mississippi schools lately.

The huge difference between the two conferences is the top and upper mid tiers. In the big 12 you have OU who is always good (but never had to play a hard schedule) plus usually one other team that ends up being good. That one team usually changes each year. It's a rotation between okst, Baylor, Iowa state, Texas etc. Compare that to the SEC. the top and upper mid tier consists of Bama, Georgia, LSU, A&M, Florida, and Auburn. At a minimum, 4 of those teams are going to be very very good each year and it's usually more than 4, plus there is sometimes a team from the mid to lower mid tier that has a surprise year. There is no comparison.

Anyways, I didn't hear the segment and doubt Corby and bob were having a semantics battle. But comparing mid tier teams is really dumb when one conference has 14 teams and 6-7 legit top teams, and the other has 10 teams and 1 legit top team.

Bob did also mention that the big 12 is clearly the bottom of the power 5 conferences, so your point is the one he was trying to make but corby acted like a child and cut him off bc he didn't want to hear it.

isn't that exactly what blowhards do?

i've been thinking a lot about corby on this front. he's that one guy at a party/bar that's fun to talk to, tells great stories, etc. but at the end of the day, you know he's completely full of ****, and you really don't believe a word he says.

Damn, corby hates us.

Yes, what now? I haven't listened to the hardline for a couple of days.

The Training Camp Roundtable was hilarious . Impromptu 15 for 15 on "Paul in, uhh.. wha?" in the first segment, then Greggo stories with the multiple Fake Greggo embellishments were the best. "I killed your Grandma; now we're even." Everbody had a Fake Greggo.
Gordon said pre-Where's Greggo that Fake Greggo was his favorite to do because he could say anything and it would "make sense coming from Greg."

Has Greggo now been gone longer than he was on the Ticket?

Ok, I feel like I can really hear Jub breathing this morning. Driving me crazy.
