Listen to Current and Past Aces Basketball Player Interviews

I thought Aces fans would enjoy listening to some of the halftime interviews I have conducted this season.  I greatly enjoy catching up with the former players.  It is always interesting to see what they are doing now, and how much they love their alma mater.  Also, I posted some of the current interviews from the Marty Simmons Radio Show.  You can catch the Marty Simmons Show live from Turoni's every Monday from 6-7pm on 91.5 FM WUEV.  All of this audio is courtesy of WUEV and Tom Benson. 

The first one is hilarious.  For the first time ever I had a player interview another player.  Troy Taylor had no idea I was going to have him do this.  For being completely unprepared Troy and Ned Cox did a great job!

Enjoy!

Listen to Coach Simmons Talk about Arad McCutchan

1971 Champs Celebrate as Buzzer Sounds/Photo: UEMonday Aces head coach Marty Simmons and I got into a great conversation about National Basketball Hall of Famer Arad McCutchan.  Coach McCutchan guided the Aces from 1946-1977.  He had a record of 514-314 and won 5 College Division National Championships.  His greatest year was in 1964-65 season in which the Aces were a perfect 29-0.

On January 22nd and 23rd we are honoring Coach Mac's 5th National Championship team from 1971.  It's the 40th anniversary of that title team.  If you would like to attend the luncheon or want to know more information click this official UE link:  CLICK HERE.

You can listen to the entire segment about the 1971 team and Coach Simmons' thoughts on Arad McCutchan here:

Listen to My Call of the Aces Thrilling Win at Butler

It was a privilege and a thrill to call the Aces victory at #23 Butler on 91.5 FM WUEV.  I am so happy for the players and staff who have worked so hard.  It is one of UE's greatest wins this decade.

Here are some of the highlights as I called them courtside at Hinkle Fieldhouse.  If you listen closely I think you might be able to tell which team I grew up following since I was a little kid.

Congrats Aces!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Week 11 NFL Power Rankings

For the first time all season there was some normalcy in the NFL in Week 11.  As a matter of fact my top five all won.  So there is no change in the top half.  The most impressive team has been the Eagles.  Philly has so many offensive weapons.  I cannot believe how far this team has come since August.  I’ll be the first to admit I thought the Eagles would take a major step back.  I hope the Eagles lose this week as they take on my Bears.

The Colts barely hang on.  Injuries are catching up to the ponies and I am still stunned Manning threw that INT against New England.

The Bucs keep winning, but let’s be honest…they are feasting off a really easy schedule.  I’m not knocking Tampa at all.  You have to beat who you play.  I am still not a believer though.

The Vikings firing Brad Childress happened at least 3 weeks too late.  What a disaster that team has been.

Three games on Thanksgiving!  Have a great turkey day.  Eat a lot and enjoy some great food!  Thanks as always for reading.

TOP TEN

1.  JETS – It hasn’t been pretty, but the bottom line is New York is 5-0 on the road and 8-2 overall.

2.  PATRIOTS – I thought they choked the game away against Indy.  Great win for Pats.

3.  FALCONS – Huge game this week at home against GB.  Go ATL!

4. RAVENS – Bmore is banging heads in such an awesome division.  They should handle Bucs this week.

5.  STEELERS – Pittsburgh had an easy bounce back win against Oakland.  Don’t touch Seymour.

6.  EAGLES – As mentioned, Philly continues to fly high with Michael Vick.

7.  SAINTS – The Saints have some swagger now.  The champs are now 7-3.

8.  PACKERS – Barf

9.  BEARS – Huge game this weekend against the Eagles.  CHI struggles against Philly historically.

10. COLTS – Indy edges out the Giants and Bucs for the final spot.

BOTTOM FIVE (1 Being Worst)

1.  PANTHERS

2.  BENGALS

3.  CARDINALS

4.  LIONS

5. NFC West



Week 10 NFL Power Rankings

I have had a busy week at my new job, so I’m late on this.  All of the top teams went down last week.  I was going to have my 2 year old son just draw out ten teams…that might be more scientific.

Who is #1?  That is really tough.  The Patriots looked so good against the Steelers.  However, they looked so horrible against the Browns the week before.  I’m going to go with the Jets.  For no other reason than Rex Ryan makes me laugh.

The Eagles were very impressive too.  I didn’t think they would make the playoffs.  Now, a win over New York would make Philly the favorite to win the division.

So just before Thursday Night Football…here is my Top Ten.

TOP TEN

1.  JETS – Does New York deserve to be #1?  Probably not, but who else does?

2.  PATRIOTS – I dropped them like a rock after the Browns loss.  Time to move em up again.

3.  FALCONS – Atlanta is 7-2.  The Falcons Roddy White is the best WR in the league right now.

4.  STEELERS – What happened against the Patriots?  They will bounce back.

5.  RAVENS – Baltimore suffered a tough loss at Atlanta.  Ravens have a bye this week vs CAR.

6.  COLTS – Indy is really banged up.  How long can they keep it up?

7.  EAGLES – Showdown this week vs G-Men.  Vick was on another planet on MNF.

8.  SAINTS – I thought New Orleans would be higher in my rankings, but I like the other 7 better.

9.  GIANTS – I told you last week I didn’t believe in the Giants.  I still don’t.

10. BEARS – I am sure I’ll jinx my Bears for tonight’s game against Miami.

BOTTOM FIVE (1 being worst)

1.  PANTHERS

2.  BENGALS

3.  BILLS

4.  CARDINALS

5.  LIONS
