We're going to start it with Brendan Sorsby out of the picture. Big 12, still suing Texas Tech. And is not, to this point, as of us recording, removed that lawsuit.
Starting point is 00:01:26 And the entire, it's the back story before we hop in 30 seconds here, is the Big 12, in essence, sued, took legal action against Texas Tech, Ken Paxton, the administration to find out whether or not they could rule a player ineligible. Hey, we're the league, we're the conference. Federal judge, do we have the power to tell Oklahoma State or Houston, you can't play that player for any given reason? Soresby got scared when the Big 12 did this and said, okay, fine, I quit. And that's how we got here. I assumed the Big 12, like, all right, jokes over guys, it's cool. we don't have to do it. But no, they haven't pulled the lawsuit yet. Is the Big 12 going a step too far by keeping this on the table?
Starting point is 00:02:05 All right. I got a question for you guys before we get into this. Who is looking like the bigger idiot right now? Is it Ken Paxton who said, we're going to sue the Big 12 if you try to punish everyone and bringing that to federal court? Or is it Cody Campbell who said, we have done nothing wrong. We still don't believe that Texas Tech has or that the Big 12 has any right to punish us. which has left this lawsuit still on the table. Which is the bigger idiot right now? That's kind of a fun.
Starting point is 00:02:32 That's kind of a fun question. Is there a punishment still left out there for the way Texas Tech fought for this? I say no, but is there? I don't know. It's a funny, it's a fun question. As far as the bigger idiot,
Starting point is 00:02:42 though, isn't Paxton's suit the one that ultimately opened up the, like, idea of the Big 12, ultimately being going to be involved, right? So I think Paxton kind of wins there. He might have been honestly operating, though, because Cody Campbell told him to. Cody Campbell gives them a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:02:56 needs in the Senate race, right? I think, though, we can get into what they can or can't do in a moment, and I think there's actually some legitimate questions about what we want them to be able to do. I feel like that the deal they're running with, though, is they want to set a precedent here, right? Like, hey, this isn't the SEC. This injunction thing ain't going to fly. Like, this is, this is real. Like, we have rules and we follow them, and that's what we're going to do here. And I kind of think that's why tech is going to, like, tech's going to get sued. This is going to continue to work its way through. I don't know how. much they can really do. And I think that's kind of the more interesting discussion. But I think
Starting point is 00:03:29 they're going to really do it. And it's kind of important to remember here that this lawsuit is not to punish Texas Tech. It's to have the ability should Texas Tech or anyone do something wrong to be able to punish Texas Tech, which is a very different thing. They're not trying to say, you know, we should go and give Texas Tech the death penalty for, you know, for doing something wrong. It's Texas Tech holds the Big 12 cannot punish them in any way, shape, or form. That is the Cody Campbell official ex-officio statement from the chair of the board of regents. And the big trouble to say, no, you're a member of our conference. You know, you agreed with punishing Baylor a couple of years ago.
Starting point is 00:04:07 You are beholden to our rules. And that's what the suit is. Yeah, I think there's a few things. Obviously, there's still questions about Soresby's NFL future too. Obviously, some potential fallout from that, if any retribution. I think that it seems something about they wanted to recover some. some legal fees and costs that happened with the dispute and some other things like, you guys had already mentioned the Big 12 kind of wants to hold them accountable.
Starting point is 00:04:35 That makes sense, I guess, set a precedent, you know, but there are a lot of possibilities you can have going forward. I don't know what one would be best, to be honest. I mean, do you want there to be some kind of dismissal from the Big 12? Is that what is happening? As we head in that direction, is Cody Campbell too big for the league in some sense? Like is, is Brett Yorkmark going to go? Is Campbell going to go? Like, that seems like it's coming to a head in some sense.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Some people would say, I don't know. I think it's a little bit, it's put us in a bind as a league, right? I think the league is now weaker for all this of happening. Paul, I think you're hitting nail on ahead here. And maybe what I, the biggest question I would have out of that is the Big 12, if they keep this suit, is it to genuinely control eligibility or is it to send a harsh statement of Texas Tech that no matter what, we still have power over you. It kind of seems like the latter, just this almost, and honestly, it's a bad power move,
Starting point is 00:05:34 but a power move to show Texas Tech, hey, we run this. Is it just tech? Is it everyone, though? Right. Because no, but I mean, like the message is more. Okay, great, right, right, right. And I think to answer your question, Drake, is the Big 12 taking this a little bit too far? Yeah, probably, but they kind of have to because as, you know, you know, Parker mentioned earlier,
Starting point is 00:05:56 The precedence needs to be set. The Big 12 is basically saying that from here on out, we are going to be in control. So if we have to flex our muscles a little bit and we have to use the Texas Tech as the example, we're going to do that to validate that the Big 12 is the one that runs the show. Yeah, that way they don't have to go back to court again and say, can we please flex our bylaws? That's basically what's happening. Or next year, Drew Mastonaker, right, does something, or just insert in random quarterback. a Quint of Wakeman, whomever, right?
Starting point is 00:06:27 Like, we want the extra year. We want this. We want that. It's like, actually, we've set a president. You can't just do that. Yeah. And, you know, to Cody's point here as well, you know, you talk about like what Cody Campbell has said in that three page letter that he put out after they said, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:44 we're stopping here. Sourcebee's going off to the NFL. That is an ex-essential threat to the Big 12th, right? It kind of, we got, we glossed over it in the, oh, look, Texas Tech is backing off, whatever. but Texas Tech, you know, officially, this is not Cody Campbell saying his own thing. This is him saying it as his position as the chair of the Board of Regents is that the Big 12 has no right to do anything. That is the position going forward.
Starting point is 00:07:11 I joked about it a week ago, right, is Texas Tech auditioning to be in the SEC? But there's going to be a contentious relationship moving forward between Cody Campbell, Texas Tech and the Big 12, no matter how this kind of shakes out. just because the optics have already kind of been put into play. And by comparing tech to an OU or Texas, no. But it was kind of these kinds of things that they felt like they were above the conference. And I just wonder if this kind of makes Texas Tech feel like they have standing outside this conference all of a sudden. And from a Texas Tech point of view, like I heard Chris Lovell argue this on his show the other day, we did what you asked us to do.
Starting point is 00:07:49 We took the bull by the horns. We flooded this thing. And we became the top brand in the league for now. and now we're being punished for it. I think that's how they feel. I understand why they feel that way. And like I said, a few different times. I think Chris is too deep into this.
Starting point is 00:08:03 I feel like he's too deep into this with the people he works with. He's a part of that organization. It's really hard to, I just, I feel for him. I do. Chris is, and I also think Chris has done a really good job of like taking morality, having saying like, this is football. This doesn't have one. I think he's in a really great job covering it.
Starting point is 00:08:20 He in case you're great. I also, I don't see their, their point. This is not everyone hating them because I spent a much money and won the conference the first time in 30 years of being in it. This is because they had a player gambling on his team like, hey, we're going to play him anyway. This is
Starting point is 00:08:35 completely separate. They could have been Houston with Kelvin Stamson saying, we're poor. And I don't think if Houston rolled in a basketball player with that, you know, like, man, they can't be doing that. And it wouldn't be because they're spending a bunch of money or anything different. It'd be because
Starting point is 00:08:51 they're doing something while I'll say you can't, that's the line, can't cross in college sports. You're not wrong, but to Phillips point, that's just they feel like they're in a corner. They feel like they've been shoved in a corner. It's them against the world. I think Texas Tech fans kind of felt this way before the Brennan Sorosby saga, right? Even if you're looking at softball and things that nature, I think Texas Tech has felt like, you know, they are the outcast of the conference. And this just makes it work. What if it isn't the consequences of my own actions. Right. Let's go there. I mean, so I think the question would be, we can hit it out of the break, is,
Starting point is 00:09:23 If Texas Tech feels misrepresented or underrepresented by the Big 12, does that mean the other 15 schools feel like they're doing right? The Big 12 is doing right by them or that there are others who are upset. This could be them in the future. This is the Dos A Grande Squad. Today's show is brought you by our friends at Odu. Odo is the exact spot that you should go when it comes to streamlining a business. It shouldn't feel like a business is.
Starting point is 00:09:49 I got an app over here for marketing. Got an app over here to, how do I talk to my employee? I've got an app over here to try to inventory. No, Odo, all in one business management software that brings every part of your business together in one powerful platform. From sales and accounting, the inventory, and marketing, everything works in one place, helping your team move faster, stay organized and focus on growing the business instead of managing software, the best organizations. Now that's success isn't just about talent. It's about having everyone working to art the same goal. And that's true in sports just like it is business.
Starting point is 00:10:16 If you look at the whole Dusty May thing, right? I mean, that's a huge recent move. One thing that stands out is how the Mavs organization took as long as they, needed to define the right codes the day before the draft they got their guy in dusty may it's not just one guy though dusty may didn't make this happen the entire math organization did it in a coordinated effort odo helps you make coordinated efforts and hire the right guy or keep the right guy or communicate with the right guy or gal great organizations win because operations matter that's why you should get odo try for free today at odo dot com slash locked on od odo dot com slash locked on odo today

Okay, so let's say in a couple of years it's West Virginia fighting for a quarterback or Oklahoma State fighting for a basketball player.
Starting point is 00:11:16 And the Big 12 says, nope, we're the Big 12. Your guy did wrong. We like it right now. The other 15 fan bases do. Texas Tech doesn't. What if it becomes you in a couple of years? government overreach. Well, I mean, there has to be a solidarity sign, right?
Starting point is 00:11:33 So if it's an Oklahoma State or so West Virginia in the future, again, I think this is the Big 12 setting that presidents now that we're going to do everything status quo from here on out. Like everybody's going to have to apply to the same rules. So if you want the team or the conference to be solidified as a whole to not be concerned about the next round of realignment, whatever's best for everybody has to be what's acceptable in my personal opinion. you that actually takes me two questions are I weirdly think that the big piece of this is why he was ruled and eligible. It was not the guy that like spent a bunch of time of junior college
Starting point is 00:12:06 or funked a few classes three years ago or like a lot of this is about why he was ruled and eligible. I think that there's some of that too. I do think though that Paul might have chuckled it and joke but I think he's right that like fear of this being handed over like now the conference can just say what they want
Starting point is 00:12:22 and other 50 like that is potentially opening up a Pandora's box too I just think that this is like of the cases to open that box with. It's like this is the one that's like a rule I thought we all agreed upon. And like that's part of it. You do have to remember as well that something like this is not something that, you know, Brett, your mark or whoever the commissioner is in 10 years is going to go and say unilaterally this is what we're doing.
Starting point is 00:12:47 I mean, very clearly this lawsuit, these move to punish. I don't know if we punish Texas Tech at the end because sort of be it's not playing. but whatever, all this move is 15 of the 16 to the best of our knowledge, teams in the Big 12 all saying this cannot stand, we don't want this to happen. We're having an emergency meeting, all the 80s are going to get them together. We're all saying this is wrong. So yeah, like in the future, if Arizona State has a quarterback that bet on his own team, I would expect the other 15 programs to say, yeah, this guy can't play. It's punishing. But it is something that does require, you know, a majority, if not a super majority of the.
Starting point is 00:13:24 the other programs in the Big 12 to get on the same table. You know, otherwise, yeah, sure. Like, oh, yeah, Texas Tech thinks that Arizona State does something wrong. And they get your marks here. Yeah, obviously, that's a problem. And I don't recall, I don't recall, I don't recall Oklahoma State throwing a fit when Arlen Bruce wasn't allowed to play for betting the same. Iowa State didn't throw a concription fit with the, so this has happened, I think.
Starting point is 00:13:52 This is just the Big 12 strengthening. their argument. Yeah. And if we're being honest, if this were a third string linebacker, tech wouldn't be either. Absolutely. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Like, no way. Zero shot. Yeah, I mean, obviously, don't double down publicly and then pivot. I think that's kind of a, what not to do, right? Looking at this is, what do you not do in this scenario?
Starting point is 00:14:17 Like you can learn almost at every step of the way as to what they did, right? The legal counter moves, like all these different. things that they did as a result of things that were happening to them, obviously, were the wrong place to make and only heightened everything to make it the biggest story in sports this year. So, and so there's just no winners coming out of this. You know, so I don't think it's going forward. You just can't. But there's no way that Texas Tech would go as far as seeking, effectively, asylum elsewhere. I heard, you know, rogue Twitter tech fans be like, we'll go independent. I don't,
Starting point is 00:14:53 I don't think there's any way that the school would ever do that. And I don't believe the school intends to do that. Though remember the thing six months ago where Cody Campbell was like, oh, we can't throw tortillas. I'll show them. And Your Mark said Cody Campbell doesn't own this conference. Your Mark's direct quote was something along the lines of Cody Campbell is not the commissioner. I am.
Starting point is 00:15:11 I was like, oh, whoa, ladies, ladies, hey. He just put on the table. Like that was all. Yeah, he got in the business. Drake, you were. I'm sorry, go ahead. Well, I'll wrap it here. The SEC has 50.
Starting point is 00:15:23 15 Texas Techs, you know, eight Texas Tech, from either a money standpoint or a, I don't want to say pre-Madana, but tech here circumvented the 15. I mean, they circumvented the other 50. That's how a lot of Big 12 fan bases feel. And the SEC has a ton of that. That's what they're, that's what permeates around that conference.
Starting point is 00:15:38 That's unique and rare for the Big 12. And I don't know if we know how to handle a school like that right now. Drake, you were asking earlier if the Big 12 may have went too far. I think basically what we're all getting at is Texas Tech took this thing way too far. Yes. Bray Yomark did ask for somebody to grab the bull by the horns, become the controller of NIL and lead the Big 12. That did happen. But I think Texas Tech fans kind of embraced it a little bit too much.
Starting point is 00:16:03 They embraced being evil a little bit too much. And now it's kind of backed them into a corner. Now they're seeing victimization in areas where it's not even plausible, but it strengthens our argument as. So I think the pushback would, and I open it up the gallery, the pushback would be, what were we supposed to do? That's what they'd say. Well, okay, fine. What are we supposed to do? What's the,
Starting point is 00:16:25 how do you rebut that, right? What's your response to that? Dropsoresby, let Hammonds play. I mean, it's very simple. You don't let a guy who bets on his own team play. Against his own team, by the way.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Well, even worse, right? Even worse, right? But, you know, the crazy thing about this, in all the chaos, Texas Tech, amidst all the Sorosby scenario,
Starting point is 00:16:46 brought it another five star. You know, you can argue that while right now, obviously Texas Tech is, you know, 137 to 1, 138 FBS teams, 137 rooting against Texas Tech. In the medium term, you can make an argument that this is good for tech. Everyone in America knows who Texas Tech is right now. Every single one of their games is going to be hitting viewership metrics that they have probably never seen before because the hate watchers are showing up in full force. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're getting five-star recruits, even without this.
Starting point is 00:17:17 I think they had another one a couple days ago or like a high four-star. Yeah, they don't get their quarterback this year. And this maybe you can make an argument that with how much money they poured into their roster this year, this was their run to go and win the national championship. But like on the five year plan, Texas Tech being too big to fail is like being the biggest pre-ed-a-don in the Big 12 is good for them. There have been three numbers thrown out with the source to be a lot. It's like the 9,000 bets, the 40 while he was at Indiana on Indiana and then $5 million. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Like the third number being thrown is like he's getting paid $5 million. Right. And I think that's good for tech. to I also think, you know, Swordsby's agent threw them a little bit of a bone on his way out the door by saying, you know, Cincinnati knew a lot more about this than they're letting on because there'd been at the start of this some report about like he had on the electronic side of things gotten red flagged at Cincinnati. And Cincinnati said, you know, we looked into it and didn't find anything.
Starting point is 00:18:11 And the agent's like, they knew more about that, which opens up a whole other can of worms. Yeah. And frankly, it could also be the agent just like subtly, like, actively. that they probably should have. Again, he's not in the court of law. It's not perjury if he's wrong. But I do think that like the interesting thing will be, you know, to the tech fans credit, they're saying we never played him.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Cincinnati did. Right. And so sure. I think the funny thing is there'd be 14 fan bases saying then get their butt too. Like I. Who care? You know, like yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Yeah. Why not Indiana brought into that? You know what I mean? It's like a pretty targeted approach to have. Like you didn't bring up Indiana just since. Cincinnati. I mean, you have knowledge of what Cincinnati did, but not Indiana from Brendan Sorsby. The lawyer said that Cincinnati knew. No one's indicated it's Indiana new. That I mean they didn't. I just feel like because they left them out on purpose.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Paul's on something. I released a video on Tuesday about Cincinnati because they had been flagged by this like anti-betting site the Big 12 uses that Sorsby was trying to log into prize picks. The Big 12, in essence, alerted Cincinnati, hey, you've got a kid trying to log into prize picks right now. And Cincinnati sweep under the rug, handle internally, right? No big deal, right? Oh, we all use it. We all, ah, and then they let it go by. I think Texas Tech could take, you know what, Texas Tech could take legal action against Cincinnati. It's a Dose Grande Squad.
Starting point is 00:19:49 So if Texas Tech wanted to take legal action against Cincinnati, Yeah. Yeah. It was a really good pony by genuine impression right there. If we investigated this, PI, this, any of that, and found out, oh, shoot, Cincinnati played him for two years, then Texas Tech went through this firestorm of legal fees, $5 million of NIL, it's now in limbo. There's a lot of money on the table that Cincinnati, if they hid this from the NCAA or the Big 12 or Texas Tech, then it's on them at that. Tech could have a serious case. Fellas, everyone here is connecting the dots.
Starting point is 00:20:28 And this is making the most amount of sense right now. This is why the Big 12 is dropping the hammer because they have been warning the Cincinnati and probably Texas Tech about SORSbee for a year and a half now. And nobody was listening. Nobody was doing anything about it. So now the Big 12 is like, we tried to tell y'all, y'all didn't want to listen. So now everybody's going to pay. That makes it make way more sense.
Starting point is 00:20:51 If Texas Tech is dead set on 15 against one, this is the route they need to go down. If they want to continue this lone wool persona that they're doing right now, suit Cincinnati. That's the way. Yeah. I can't imagine a worse scenario. They need to sue Cincinnati and change their end zones to draft kings or Fandler. Sorry, Fandle.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Fandle. Come on, man. You're going to get us a new job. I feel like this is right now what we're looking at. we see Texas because what's happening here is like at some point someone knew and someone's Cincinnati probably should have known right or whatever and and as Paul brought up Indiana probably should have known because Big 12 is not the only one with this software um at the end of the day though I think it's interesting to think that like how much a Texas tech know or should Texas Tech have known
Starting point is 00:21:44 it's probably the better legal question when they signed them in January right because you are supposed like you sign these kids to your program like yeah these are your recruit you need to do your do deal ins and bluntly not just because Phil's here they were also recruiting Sam Levitt and there's something to be said about like hey had they gotten
Starting point is 00:22:02 Sam Levitt where they've gotten this kid if they did they better quarterback by the way right did they rush this whole deal because they didn't get Sam Levitt and go we need something oh yeah right well Sorosby for some reason was a five star best quarterback in the
Starting point is 00:22:19 country in the portal, which I thought was... And kind of Wegman's better. So he's crazy. Kind of Wegman's better. Kind of Wegman is better. A point here, it's why I still, I feel for Texas Tech in this. I know it's a crazy thing to say, but if I, this is a truth that you cannot argue this. If Brendan Sorsby was an LSU right now, he'd play every snap in 2026.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Guaranteed. And that was the beginning of the only reason that I was, you know, happy for Texas Tech is because they were getting that SEC treatment. Right, right, right. If they were in that conference, half of this wouldn't even be a conversation. Yeah. And Kevin wanted Sorsby and the SEC would never have counter sued this, in essence, counter sued this.
Starting point is 00:22:57 He would have just played at LSU next season. To be fair, with Louisiana Attorney General have done what Paxson did, though, because that's... Yes. Are you kidding me? They would have had their governor involved, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you know what? Greg said you to be like, we're all on the same side.
Starting point is 00:23:12 We're all on the same page. Please don't sue me. Please don't sue me. That guy can play ball. I mean, several people believe that tech was involved in leaking the contract details around Leavitt and or Sorsby and LSU. And maybe that played a part in why he didn't go. And I do. I agree.
Starting point is 00:23:34 He's the better quarterback. And I have asked this question 15 times. Who died and made Brendan Sorsby a Heisman contender? Like, what did he come from? Indiana must have loved him Cincinnati clearly loved him Texas Tech was trying to help him and loved him he has a way with people
Starting point is 00:23:52 I get that they're I understand that roster is really talented the Houston's first big 12 game third game in the season this game's been circled because of this incident for a long time now ultimately he was always going to be the sum of the parts around him like again he's
Starting point is 00:24:07 he's a starting level power four quarterback this is not this not a Heism can Hey, he's not. Guys, you know, you know, he's going to have like zero pressure on him with that offensive land that got. You know, he's got three studs as wide receivers. Drake, you said it's not a Heisman contender with the team that's around him.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Yeah, yeah. Y'all said, who made, you know, Brendan Sorsby the end all be all? Maybe it was the, maybe it was the betting services. Yeah. I mean, the second he got reasonable. He was back in. More NIL. A $5 million.
Starting point is 00:24:40 A $9.0. NIL check gets on Brendan and Sorsby. Why is Swordsby so good? Well, I don't know. The numbers say so. Polymarkets call it. How do we direct ads to one human being? How do we have one person targeting? All of the ads.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Bro, the Brendan Sorsby 30 for 30 is going to be lit. Oh, yeah. And we didn't, I guess, maybe it wasn't the Big 12, so I didn't focus as much on it. Michigan didn't get ripped like this for Conner Stallions. It felt like most of America liked Conor Stallions. Like, I secretly back on Brady, I was like, that's kind of cool. I kind of like that. The more that came out, I've been Venmoing guys being like $200 for front row seats to see Rutgers play LaTec.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Like, I got a dope a little bit. Yeah. In fairness, Drake, gambling on your own team has been long been so high on the list of Cardinals. Like, everyone's like, okay, you know what? Like you're cheating to steal signs. You're a competitor. You took it too far. You know, you went and did whatever.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Oh, okay, whatever. Like, again, the betting on. Betting on your own team is just, it is such a red line. Yeah, people treat each other than Italians better because, oh, oh, no, you, you went a little bit too hard to try to be for your own team to win. What if you're betting on yourself like in a positive way? Like, I'm not betting on myself to lose, bet on myself to win this damn thing. It messes the entire like it. It does, but I think it's less bad, though, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:26:03 Less bad for sure. It's less bad. It's definitely bad, but I think it's definitely changes it a little bit, you know. I played for a coach one time. And he was mostly talking about like, don't stay out too late at night or whatever. You're saying, you know, there's not actually that big of a gray area on most things. There's black and there's white and there's like only a little bit of gray.
Starting point is 00:26:21 And if you're trying to make it gray, it's probably not the one you want, right? And I think that's what we're trying to do with like what we're doing on this. Commer Stallions, I would point on the Michigan thing because that came up when I was Ripping Tech in my own show and my common section a lot. And I head coach ran off the NFL and Stallions is a high school coordinator because he got, he like isn't coaching in college anymore not going to be able to and they still gave the inter the the sharon moore a whole suspension all the kind of he got punished for his own stuff when it wasn't
Starting point is 00:26:50 he wasn't the head coach or in charge of it like like they did get punished it just it was just funnier it was a funnier story that's fair um the mike point in news we'll finish here cody one minute uh he is the new head coach of the michigan Wolverines. You know what? I'll say that he absolutely does deserve another opportunity. Good guy. Nice guy, man. I like it. It would come this. He's a remarkable recruiter, right? He's the epitome of a player's coach. It was just the X's and O's portion of things that was a little bit difficult for him. But Michigan is going to be able to obtain talent if he is the head guy. And you never know. Maybe that's what he needed. He needed a couple more years learning under somebody once again
Starting point is 00:27:36 to how to establish some half court sets in the last. 30 seconds of a ball game because he just didn't quite do that at Oklahoma State. But he's a damn good ball coach. The players absolutely love him. Former players love Mike Boynton. He's always going to be able to bring five-star talent in repeatedly. And if he's learned a little bit more of the, you know, the coaching side of things, yeah, I think he does deserve it.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Michigan will be good. Scott Hughes said, Scott Hughes just said the whole team's gone. Scott Hughes, baby. Scott Hughes, CBBee.
