00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:08.720
It's time for Coffee and Company,
fueled by Thornton's on Sports Talk seven nine

2
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:33.000
day. Now here's Nick Coffee.
I believe this is the first time I've

3
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:38.640
ever said what I'm about to say
on the radio, which is props to

4
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:44.039
Mark Stoops for a great idea that
I'm hoping Pat Kelsey will do the same

5
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:50.119
thing. So thank you to someone
who just sent this in but apparently on

6
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:56.079
I don't know when. Yeah,
on July seventeenth, former Kentucky players,

7
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:03.079
all former Kentucky players have been invited
back to watch the La Familia TBT team.

8
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.439
Of course that's the Kentucky team in
the uh, in the in the

9
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:11.359
tournament, and uh they're gonna play
the current Kentucky team, like the team

10
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.319
that Mark Pope just built. So
I mean, I don't the former players

11
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.959
being able to go back and watch. That's cool, but like, uh,

12
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:22.200
I mean, you know, if
Louisville played, and maybe they will,

13
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:23.239
maybe they are doing it and it's
just not out there. I mean,

14
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.719
they wouldn't open it up for fans
to watch, but I would love

15
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.719
because people would talk like we would
hear. I mean, it would be

16
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.480
out there as far as not maybe
a total score. But if the Louisville

17
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:38.640
TBT team with Peyton Russ and those
guys and Kyle Curic, Montrez Harreld,

18
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.719
Chris Jones, if they scrimmaged the
current Louisville team that Pat Kelse put together

19
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:46.599
one that would make them better.
I mean that would be that'd be a

20
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.519
way better test, I would imagine
than anything they're gonna see in in in

21
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.400
the in the Bahamas trip. And
I know some of these guys aren't in

22
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:59.239
great you know, I know that
Peyton Siva now is not Peyton Siva six

23
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.840
years ago. But still like that's
it'll be a really really good it would

24
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.840
be a really good test. And
I just feel like we would get enough

25
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.639
to where I would you know,
we'd hear about which players stood out and

26
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:13.240
which players you know, really excelled
on both sides. I mean, it

27
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.120
would kind of be weird, like
if you watched it as a fan,

28
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.560
like what would you want? Right, Like the the instincts are going to

29
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:22.680
kick in if Montres Harald dunks on
somebody, or if Russ Smith goes you

30
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:27.520
know, full rusridiculous and does crazy
things that Russ does, Like, instincts

31
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:29.719
are gonna kick in. Where you're
gonna cheer and be happy if you were

32
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:30.840
watching it. But then again,
they're doing it to the current team.

33
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:35.199
That's about the you know play this
upcoming season, So maybe it would be

34
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.039
a little you feel a little conflicted. But yeah, that's a good idea,

35
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.319
I mean, because one that'll help, that'll help Kentucky's team too,

36
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:46.639
scrimmaging working out against those those guys
and you know, props to uh to

37
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:51.719
Mark to Mark Poe. Did I
say Mark Stoops to start the hour?

38
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.080
Sorry, you corrected yourself though,
Oh if I don't ever correct my well

39
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.800
I did, I got it right, but I didn't correct myself. I

40
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:02.439
thought we need a sounder to where
you can just play something that insinuates that

41
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:07.159
I've said something very stupid here because
everybody else knows it other than me.

42
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.240
Because off the bat though you didn't
give any context. But then when you

43
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:13.599
compare Mark Stoops with Pat Kelsey,
that's kind of when it set in.

44
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.919
It was already too late at that
point. But did I say, like,

45
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:21.639
did I say Pope? Did I
ever even say Pope's name again until

46
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.000
just a couple of times after you
mentioned the Pat Kelsey And because and then

47
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:29.680
I got into my head there because
I'm thinking Pope and then again did I

48
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:32.960
say stoops? So anyways, yeah, we'll move on. It's our number

49
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.319
two here. It's coffee and company
that is us. We are fueled by

50
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:38.479
Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety
nit Coffee that is me. I hope

51
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.599
you knew that. If not,
now you do the company man, mister

52
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:45.680
John all In alongside today and at
the beginning of the show we were talking

53
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:50.199
about how you know, this is
such a lull for us around here when

54
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.680
it comes to the sports we mostly
really care about and discuss on this show.

55
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.520
And the next thing is media days, right, the Big twelve Media

56
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.759
Day's going on right now. The
ACCAL have Theirs in a couple of weeks,

57
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:02.919
the SEC I'm sure will be not
far behind that. And really that's

58
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.199
talking season and that's better than nothing. But it's such a tease because there's

59
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.479
usually not a whole lot to take
from it. But I'm continuing to see

60
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:15.319
here more and more signs that like
Brett Yormack, the or your Mark I

61
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:24.399
should say, the Big twelve commissioner, like he's he understands perception matters and

62
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.120
he understands that, like, you
know, you can't just sit on your

63
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.759
rear end. And I feel like
that's what Louisville's not Louisville, but the

64
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.160
AEC Commissioner Jim Phillips is doing.
I mean, it's really unrealistic for,

65
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:38.079
you know, for him to say
this, but I like that he said

66
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.279
it. So this is let me
just double check to make sure I've got

67
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.279
the yes. So this is from
Ross Ellinger. He tweeted this out earlier

68
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:46.720
today. Brett or Mark quote,
I won't stop until we are the number

69
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.720
one conference in America end quote.
Like that's never going to happen, right,

70
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:51.879
I mean, what are the chances
that ever happens? But at least

71
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:57.639
he's he's striving to continue to be
better and be creative. We talked about

72
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.920
it earlier for those who missed it. Just creative things the Big Twelve is

73
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.759
doing to get themselves attention and to
potentially make some money to close the revenue

74
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:09.920
gap that's there from them and everybody
else. I mean, they're gonna put

75
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:13.439
ads on the officials' uniforms, and
that's not like something I can say is

76
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:15.800
like cool, But you know,
I've not heard anybody else saying they're gonna

77
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.560
do that. They've got a radio
partnership with tune In or there's gonna be

78
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:25.720
a twenty four to seven radio station
on Big twelve Sports, which again I'm

79
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:29.920
not sure how lucrative that'll be,
but that's something they're looking into new TV

80
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:34.920
windows. And this will probably be
probably be made fun of. But like

81
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.959
if, in fact, they're going
to try to find new like if they're

82
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.360
gonna try to play a Big twelve
game once a week, like in a

83
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.079
time slot on a day that like
you never see college football, it'll be

84
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.199
weird. People will mock it,
but hey, it's getting attention. It's

85
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:51.360
a standalone opportunity in those matter.
I mean, heck, that's how Louisville

86
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:55.959
really built their brand in football is
they were willing and actually wanting to play

87
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.959
some standalone games on a Thursday or
something like that because it got some eyeballs

88
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.680
on them. So you know,
the Big twelve is never going to be

89
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:08.360
the number one conference in America.
But again, I like this guy's attitude.

90
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:11.360
He he's given the Big twelve the
cool factor. This guy used to

91
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:14.680
work for Rock Nation, jay Z's
company, and now he's running the Big

92
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:19.439
twelve and it's led me to not
even really realize how much. I mean,

93
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:21.839
I've known that they took a big
hit and they're not going to be

94
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:28.399
able to replace what they had with
Oklahoma and Texas as far as just brand

95
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:31.279
value and just I mean, those
are two humongous fan bases with humongous brands

96
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:34.360
that have value. Right, That's
why the SEC was a no brainer for

97
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:40.079
them. Right, So you know
the Big twelve, I mean, who's

98
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:42.920
their best team this year? Maybe
Kansas State, Oklahoma State, I don't

99
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.120
know. So, Like, the
league's clearly not what it once was,

100
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.399
but they're doing innovative things and they're
keeping their name out there, and that's

101
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:54.199
better than just bragging about or not
bragging, but like telling people to not

102
00:06:54.240 --> 00:07:00.000
worry about the ACC because we're in
third place. We're we're we're the third

103
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:04.839
highest you know, profitable conference in
the country. Only two more leagues share

104
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:08.560
more revenue than we do to members, Like, okay, like you brag

105
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.959
it about that, there's only four
that actually really are in that tier of

106
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.000
college athletics. I don't know,
man, Like part of me feels like

107
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:19.199
I just hammer on this guy way
too much, meaning Jim Phillips because he

108
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:24.000
did inherit this deal, like the
deal was already done by Swafford. But

109
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:28.600
anytime I hear him talk, I
get less. I feel less confident about

110
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:33.040
the future of the ACC. And
I think because everybody's aware of the situation,

111
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.639
Like it hasn't been a big talking
point, and it's really a lot

112
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:40.439
of legal jargon that you know,
a lot of people, including myself,

113
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:44.240
have no understanding of. But think
about this. You got the two best

114
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.839
members, two most valuable members of
your conference suing the league, and the

115
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:51.279
league counter suing them. Like things
aren't fine in the ACC. I mean,

116
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:54.399
there's nothing you can do about it
if you're a fan, But like,

117
00:07:54.480 --> 00:08:00.319
let's be real with ourselves. The
ACC is only it's the And again,

118
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.920
this is something I've said a handful
of times recently. Why not say

119
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:09.120
it once more considering we're talking about
it. What eventually I think will kill

120
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.240
the ACC is actually the only thing
that has a chance of keeping it together

121
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.439
at this point, and that is
the grant of rights deal. Because you're

122
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.199
locked in till twenty thirty four,
and as of now you're locked in,

123
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.600
you can't get out. So anyway, shout out to the Big twelve.

124
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.879
I mean, I've never really thought
about what life would be like as a

125
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:30.560
Louisville fan if Louisville was in the
Big Twelve, because I just don't think

126
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.120
it's realistic that they're going to end
up there, at least not anytime soon.

127
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.720
But you'd still have a really good
basketball league. You'd reconnect with some

128
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:43.039
old rivals in Cincinnati in West Virginia, but they're not a rival anymore.

129
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.919
Cincinnati, that's right, Yeah,
yeah, that's right. There'd have to

130
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.039
be something done for them to kind
of, you know, like get that

131
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:52.120
going, you know what I mean, Like I can't fake hatred that's no

132
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.960
longer there because I'm forever grateful for
them taking Scott Satterfield off our hands and

133
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.159
paying us millions of dollars. But
as far as basketball, I mean,

134
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.039
that league's already really good. I
mean, even before their recent expansion where

135
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.120
they added Arizona and Arizona State and
Colorado. Again those aren't I mean,

136
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.840
Arizona's great, but the other programs
aren't. But still like they've got in

137
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.279
basketball, I mean, it's been
viewed as one of the best, if

138
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:22.039
not the best league in college basketball
in recent years, and I know sometimes

139
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.799
it's a little bit of a stretch
because I think they did manipulate some of

140
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.080
the numbers. But either way,
like it's it's a good league, a

141
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:33.240
really good league in basketball and in
football. You know, it's still one

142
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.679
of the four the power for and
I mean I think the same can be

143
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.200
said about the ACC because right now, like I don't feel like there's a

144
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.159
team currently in the league that you
feel like, man, they're just a

145
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.360
jugger, not there's nothing you can
do, no matter how you could have

146
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:50.240
your best season ever and you're not
beating them, which maybe that is the

147
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.679
case with a team like Clemson,
but like again they've fallen off, like

148
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.120
you can beat them now. They're
still gonna be top tier in this league

149
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.399
as long as they're in it.
But but they're not. They're not the

150
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.759
big Bully, I don't think anymore. I mean, I say that knowing

151
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:07.440
Louisville's never beat them. But one
of the things I was about to say

152
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.519
about what would make the Big Twelve
attractive is that you're playing teams you know

153
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.440
of right, It's not as if
you're playing a bunch of you know,

154
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:20.320
nobodies. But there's also not the
juggernaut that you know that's gonna win the

155
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:22.519
league ninety percent of the time,
Like you could realistically win your conference there.

156
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.799
But again, Louisville was in the
conference championship game last year, so

157
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.960
that can still happen. And by
the way, I rarely get it.

158
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.679
But sometimes on the text line,
I get a few people that like,

159
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.360
have you know, ACC loyalty and
they love the league And I don't know

160
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:39.679
why. Maybe it's just because hey, it's the league we're in, and

161
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:41.879
let's support it. Because you're right, the better off the ACC is,

162
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:46.480
the better off it is for everybody
involved, including Louisville. But like,

163
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.799
I don't have any allegiance to the
league. I don't have like I'm not

164
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.639
out here, like I don't.
I don't root for ACC teams because they're

165
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:56.480
in the ACC. I just you
know, I've never really cared. All

166
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:58.960
right Again, for those who don't
know, we are fueled by though,

167
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.039
make sure you stop in and actually
you can do it on your phone.

168
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:05.159
I mean you should stop in.
I was going to say stop in and

169
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.720
sign up. You don't have to
do that. You can do right now,

170
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:09.639
pull out your phone or use the
power of the World Wide Web and

171
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:15.200
download the refreshing Awards app and you
will save money every single time you go

172
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.080
to the gas pump, and you
could take advantage of a lot of perks

173
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.360
that come with being a member of
the Refreshing Awards program. I know last

174
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:24.919
summer they hooked up a lot of
people with free gas for a year.

175
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.720
I mean, I think it was
nearly two hundred people receive free fuel for

176
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.639
an entire year. During the holiday
season. Last year they gave away I

177
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.600
think it was five thousand dollars each
week, and then the grand prize around

178
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.039
New Year's was a twenty five thousand
dollars giveaway. So you can get injured

179
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:43.200
in those sweepstakes and win big just
a bout being a member. And it

180
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.600
doesn't cost you a dime, so
you pay nothing as far as you know,

181
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:50.200
being able to take advantage of these
perks, and yet you benefit from

182
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.919
it because you save money and you
could be one of the big winners.

183
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:54.879
So again, we appreciate our friends
over there at Thorntons. If you're in

184
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.120
Kentuckyana, there's likely one close to
you because they're all over the place.

185
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.960
I used to I used to uh
mention the amount they had and then they

186
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.840
just kept popping up everywhere, John, I couldn't keep up anymore. I

187
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:07.399
mean, it was just too much
to keep up with because they're they're you

188
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.279
know, they're everywhere. They eventually
drugged me in and probably one of the

189
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:15.759
best decisions you've ever made, if
I'm being honest with you, probably a

190
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:18.559
big, big game changer for you. All right. So, do you

191
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:24.679
remember when we talked about the uh
Chipoltle controversy where people were going in and

192
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.200
ordering at Chipotle and holding their phones
up thinking, oh yeah, recording seeing

193
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:33.519
how much food they would put on
the so uh there was actually a memo

194
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:39.679
sent to all employees that if somebody
is holding their phone videoing, don't be

195
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.960
stingy on making sure they get a
good sized portion and like the minimum,

196
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.320
you know, don't don't don't stiff
them. And to me, that was

197
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.840
just wild, but like that was
an effective strategy. It was almost like

198
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:52.360
it, I've never have you ever. I've never eaten there. I don't

199
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.080
know, I've never been I've never
eaten a Chipotle. It's got to be

200
00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:00.759
like a mos or a It's kind
of like, what's the other big one.

201
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.600
It's Quidoba? Yeah, is it
something like that? Yeah, it's

202
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.080
stubwlay style in the sense that you
you know, you see them make the

203
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.480
food in front of you as you
go down the line. That type of

204
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.639
thing. Yeah, I've never I've
never had it, but it's certainly popular.

205
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:18.279
But it felt like, you know, customers, the common man was

206
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:20.320
sticking it to this big food corporation, you know, like getting you know,

207
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.480
hey, you want to stiff me
all out you on the internet that

208
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:26.919
you guys are not holding up your
end and giving us small portion size is

209
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:33.000
while the prices are skyrocketing. So
that apparently, and by the way,

210
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.919
he became a national story. And
this guy who I got it, this

211
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:41.279
is a Wells Fargo analyst in New
York. He put them to the test

212
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:46.799
because after this happened, the who
was it? The CEO of Chipotle said

213
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.759
this quote, the portions have not
gotten smaller. We always want to give

214
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.200
people big portions. They get them
excited about the food. So he's saying

215
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:58.639
that they've not gotten smaller, denied
it and acted like, hey, move

216
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:03.639
along, nothing the sea here.
So this Wells Fargo analyst ordered seventy five

217
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:09.840
identical Chipotle bulls to test out the
CEO's statement that portion sizes have not gotten

218
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:15.440
smaller, and the results confirmed that
the CEO is a liar. So,

219
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:20.120
first of all, this guy Wells
Fargo analyst, that just sounds like a

220
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:22.600
very important position. You got more
time on your hands than I anticipated.

221
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.720
But then again, if you're an
analyst, I guess you are analyzing here,

222
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:31.120
right. So the median weight of
the bulls of the seventy five was

223
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.960
twenty one point five ounces. Some
locations offered the ball at a hefty twenty

224
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:41.320
seven ounces, while others came in
at fourteen ounces, all from the same

225
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.200
menu, prepared in the same way. So how is it possible that one

226
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:52.159
order can be two times the weight
of the exact same order? Like this

227
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.399
is They're not the only company that
you know, Like Burgers, it's pretty

228
00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:58.759
self explanatory, right, you pay
for a burger, you get a burger.

229
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:03.480
For double cheeseburger, you get two
of them on the burger. So

230
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.039
like the one that sometimes like a
taco at Taco Bell, Like sometimes I

231
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:11.360
feel like, damn, they gave
me a like a that's a thick taco.

232
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:16.039
It sounded dirty for some reason.
But sometimes I'm like, you didn't

233
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.600
put anything on this. There's more
cheese than there is anything. And then

234
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:22.519
at Arby's. I don't ever eat
Arby's, but when I do, it's

235
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.799
good, and I love Arby's.
It's just it doesn't love me back,

236
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:26.480
if you know what I'm saying.
I end up having to go to the

237
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:31.440
bathroom quite a bit after I eat
at Arby's. But the food's delicious.

238
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:33.360
It's a it's a me thing,
not a you thing, I would imagine,

239
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.919
but nonetheless like same thing if I
get a beef and cheddar. Sometimes,

240
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.080
you know, I feel like they
gave me the short end of the

241
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.720
sticks. Sometimes I feel like they
really hooked me up. And then sometimes

242
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:46.440
I take the bun off and realize, hey, I just got to rearrange

243
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:48.320
this a little bit to even it
out, then we're gonna be good.

244
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.879
So there's got to be some type
of quality control process for these kind of

245
00:15:54.879 --> 00:16:00.120
companies to where they don't do this
and this is the kind of thing why,

246
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.000
Like, remember we talked about the
robot workers for for I don't know

247
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:07.519
if it was McDonald's locations or something
like that. I don't feel like McDonald's

248
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.080
would be the perfect way to test
this, and honestly, I don't want

249
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:15.320
to see it happen regardless. But
if you want to perfectly portion your your

250
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.000
you know, your your meals for
whoever the customers are, the only way

251
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.000
to do that is to streamline the
process, and I feel like it usually

252
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:23.960
entails, you know, not having
a human make the food for you.

253
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:29.000
There's there's no doubt about that.
And that's kind of a sad thing to

254
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:32.039
think about. It is. But
at the end of the day, like

255
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:37.360
I mean, I don't know.
Me again, I'm not endorsing that.

256
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.679
It just seems like that's the only
solution for that to actually be that consistent.

257
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:44.559
I'm not endorsing it either, but
I'm with you. I think it

258
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:48.360
is the only solution. And you
know, like I don't know, I

259
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:53.080
don't want to say something insensitive because
I know some people. I know of

260
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:56.879
some people who like their entire career
they worked in fast food and they moved

261
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:02.360
up the ladder and they became you
know, managers and you know, manage

262
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:03.799
different you know, multiple locations,
that kind of stuff. So like,

263
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:07.720
I don't want to act as if
that's but I just feel like that that's

264
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:11.039
that's one of the jobs that was
eliminated. It would not be the worst

265
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.799
thing ever but then again, you
know, I think you're spot on that.

266
00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:19.279
In order for it to be like, it to be a precise,

267
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:23.680
inconsistent thing as far as what you're
getting when you order it, you're going

268
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:29.319
to either implement technology and maybe the
technology already exists, they're just not following

269
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:32.720
it. But there's some technology something
there to where you can weigh it and

270
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:36.480
like you're you know, you're doing
it that way, or you know,

271
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:40.640
you have a robot that does it
and it's you know, streamlined, and

272
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:45.440
it's quick and it's consistent. And
yeah, I mean again looking back at

273
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.039
the looking back at this this breakdown
here, I mean, think of the

274
00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:52.960
difference in these two. I mean, it's the same thing. You order

275
00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:57.279
the bowl and one of them is
twenty seven ounces, in the other one

276
00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:00.960
is fourteen. Like that's that is
it's for the same thing price the same

277
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.119
way. It's crazy. Yeah,
that's that's that's wrong. Yeah, I

278
00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:07.680
mean, are there any other places
I can think of? Like I guess,

279
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:11.039
I mean, you could put Subway
in that category if they don't,

280
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.759
but isn't it usually was? And
I haven't had Subway in a long time,

281
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:18.880
but I feel like I don't know, I guess like if you've got

282
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:22.960
I never liked to look at the
tuna that was there because it grows me

283
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:26.359
out, and I never got tuna. But like, I'm weird about food

284
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:29.799
like that. I don't like watching
I don't like watching people make my food.

285
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.119
Not because I think that they're they're
dirty. They were usually wearing gloves

286
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:36.640
and it's super sanitary. It's not. It's not the people. It's just

287
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:40.920
I don't really like watching my food
be made by anybody. I'm just I'm

288
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:42.680
weird like that. But when I
would watch, you know, when I

289
00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:45.680
would see people. I used to
go to subway probably like twice a week

290
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:48.079
before I you know, many years
ago, whenever. It was one of

291
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.559
the only In fact, when I
first got hired at iHeart that was like

292
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:55.839
the closest thing to us at the
old place. I mean, where did

293
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:56.799
you go to lunch whenever you would
or whenever, I mean, if you

294
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:02.079
ever leave the old les never time
over at the whole building, I don't

295
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:03.400
think. So when I would go
to work every day over there, initially,

296
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:07.160
I would, you know, when
I was on in the mornings or

297
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:08.640
if I was on in middays,
like I would either go get lunch at

298
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:11.799
eleven or something, or I would, you know, in the morning,

299
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:14.440
if I was going on at noon
in the closest place to us the subway,

300
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:17.559
and I'd go there pretty often.
And like if you're getting like a

301
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:22.200
turkey club or you know, like
this the lunch meet, like I think

302
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.559
it's pretty consistent. They just know
to pick up this many slices of it

303
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:27.559
and that's and that's it. But
then when it comes to like the tuna

304
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:30.440
or maybe something I'm trying to think
of, there's other like like a chicken

305
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.079
taraioki, Like I'm sure there's like
one scoop or two scoops. They just

306
00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:37.960
assume that that's all kind of the
same kind of the same size. But

307
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:45.079
yeah, when it comes to like
meat that is there in those whatever you

308
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:49.519
you know at places like Kidova,
Chipotle and all that, Like it really

309
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:52.480
is just that one person just kind
of guessing, right because they're making it

310
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:55.839
in front of you. They don't
have like something in their brain that's telling

311
00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:59.640
them how much this weighs and whatnot. It's just and if they're they're checked

312
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:02.400
out for the they may not be
giving you the best portions. Yeah,

313
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:07.079
and then like and nobody wants to
be that guy, but like I get

314
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:08.319
what people are that guy. What
I mean by that is like, hey,

315
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:11.720
can you not put a little more
on there, like why you know,

316
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:18.279
Like I don't know, I don't
know what the fix is, but

317
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:22.480
that ain't a good look for Chipotle. And if some random dude does it,

318
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:25.599
I mean it's still legit. But
if the fact that a Wells Fargo

319
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:32.079
analyst to tried or do they put
together like a project here to really hold

320
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:33.559
the CEO accountable, like shout out
to them, I think it's gonna get

321
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.640
even more attention because of the you
know, these are analysts, all right,

322
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:40.799
quick break will come back. Keep
this thing rolling along. It's coffee

323
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:45.720
and company feel. But Thornton's on
Sports Talk seven ninety so. Every year

324
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:49.960
the ACC network does a takeover day
for the members of the conference, and

325
00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:56.240
Louisville's takeover day is tomorrow, and
I do love that they did not include

326
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:03.480
men's basketball, which is not a
surprise. But yeah, they've got looks

327
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.200
like baseball versus c State. That'll
be at noon, and then the ACC

328
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:12.480
Traditions, which is like a little
thirty minute show just about you know,

329
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:18.720
an inside look at ul athletics field
hockey at three point thirty and football the

330
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:22.200
Louisville Miami game, which was a
good one by the way, that'll be

331
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:26.200
on at five am tomorrow morning if
you want to watch it. Softball will

332
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:30.880
follow that, Lacrosse, then baseball
again, women's basketball at three, volleyball,

333
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:34.519
which is right now, I would
say the top as we speak.

334
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:37.559
It's the best team sport over there
at UL on Floyd Street. Shout out

335
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:42.440
to Danny Busboom Kelly. And then
another football game Louisville against Notre Dame at

336
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:47.880
seven o'clock tomorrow, and then at
ten pm you can watch Louisville women's basketball

337
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:52.640
take on Kentucky. So two women's
basketball games and two football games, two

338
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:57.960
baseball games and not a men's basketball
game, so not a surprise. But

339
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:02.920
yeah, I mean, like if
U of L has any say so on

340
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:04.599
what is put on, which I
don't know you think they do, John,

341
00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:08.119
I feel like they may have some
yeah, maybe some influence. Are

342
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:11.240
they only taking games from this past
season? It sounds like, yeah,

343
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:14.799
they just just basically kind of year
and review kind of thing. That makes

344
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:18.400
sense. But if they were going
to do men's basketball, like what I

345
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:22.559
mean Louiva did if you remember they
did, they did mess around and win

346
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:26.880
a you know what, they win
eight games this past year. Yes,

347
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:30.839
yeah, so what if they just
played Pat Kelsey's introductory pressos. That would

348
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.640
be I mean, that would be
I mean, that would be better than

349
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:37.079
anything from the Kenny Paane era.
But it may not just be because Louisville

350
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:40.400
doesn't have many games to pull from. Because, to be honest with you,

351
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:42.200
when they beat Miami at Miami that
at the time, I don't think

352
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:45.559
we realized that Miami was gonna end
up being that bad. But like that

353
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:48.640
was a like that was the first
time and that was the only road wind

354
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.559
that Kenny had, right, and
then the other wins came against who They

355
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:59.240
beat Georgia Tech at home, they
beat Florida State at home, and there's

356
00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:02.880
I think it might have one other
acc win. Maybe either way, we

357
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:07.400
don't need to talk about that.
That disastrous to your era. But I

358
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:11.680
would imagine that if you fire a
coach, they're probably not going to show

359
00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:15.720
his games when there's a new coach
in place. On this day where you're

360
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:18.559
really I mean, what this is
is it's an infomercial for U of L.

361
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.559
That's what this day is, right, each each league member gets a

362
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:25.920
day where you know, from from
you know, from start to finish in

363
00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:29.960
that in that in that day from
midnight until ten pm. The next to

364
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:34.119
ten pm, I guess technically that
same day it is your athletic programs being

365
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:38.880
featured in a game that was memorable
from that season. And yeah, I

366
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:44.400
mean I would think even if Louisville
went like thirteen and whatever and actually had

367
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:48.000
a couple of ranked road winds or
a couple of ranked wins and you still

368
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:52.279
moved on from Kenny, they probably
still wouldn't show it because somebody had somebody

369
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:53.440
sent this on the text line like
do you think this is a direct shot

370
00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:56.880
at Kenny Payne? And I really
don't think it is, to be honest

371
00:23:56.920 --> 00:23:59.319
with you, because here's the thing. If you air those games, any

372
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:02.559
of them, all you're going to
do is have people on Twitter, tagging

373
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:04.519
ACC Network or whoever it might be, saying why are you showing this?

374
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:08.519
And it's sure and deal with that. That's true. I mean I wouldn't

375
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:12.680
want to deal with that either.
All right, So, recruiting rankings are

376
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:19.000
still referenced in the world of college
sports. From the Super fans right,

377
00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:26.160
Like, the portal has certainly become
the quick fix to reload your roster and

378
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:30.480
get better, make a big splash. You're bringing in at times guys who

379
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:33.160
have proven to be really, really
good, and now they're coming to your

380
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:34.960
program. You don't have to develop
them. They're ready to go. It's

381
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:41.000
more just about getting acclimated or can
they play at the same high level now

382
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:47.720
that they're elevating up to a better
league. Like coaches, I would imagine

383
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:55.519
are always going to evaluate young high
school talent in every sport. But I'd

384
00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:57.559
be shocked if you know. I
mean, it's already It's already the case

385
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:00.279
now, Like if you are like
not every program, by the way,

386
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:04.799
is loading up in the portal with
twenty players every year in football or six

387
00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:11.680
or seven in basketball. But I
would say that in a few years,

388
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:18.279
the new additions to your roster,
it'll still be more transfers than it is

389
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.200
freshman. I just think that's I
think that's going to be the new norm,

390
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:26.519
and it's kind of already happening.
The only program that's a relevant program

391
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.839
is Clemson that is not adjusting.
But anyways, the reason I bring it

392
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:37.279
up is because I think You can
be a Louisville or even in Kentucky,

393
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:41.039
and your high school recruiting class can
be in the thirties or forty and if

394
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:44.640
you do well in the portal,
you can still look at your you can

395
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:47.480
still look at the upcoming season and
feel like, Okay, we're in a

396
00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:49.440
good spot here, because I just
don't think you're not going to bring in

397
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:53.039
as many of them. There's not
as much of a necessity to develop guys.

398
00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:56.359
I mean, you always want to
develop players, you have no doubt

399
00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:59.720
about it. But again, the
game has changed, so this may not

400
00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:03.759
be worth referencing in a few years, but I think it's still worth getting

401
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.359
into now. So this is a
great breakdown of the relationship between recruiting and

402
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:12.119
winning in college football from twenty fourteen
to twenty and thirteen. So keep in

403
00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:17.559
mind, you know, the portal
didn't really take off until what twenty twenty

404
00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:22.200
two. I feel like the first
season. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe's twenty

405
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:29.359
twenty one, but I feel like
the first season of college football and basketball

406
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:33.920
where like ever like, the portal
is filled with thousands of players and you

407
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:36.640
can you know, you don't have
to wait on a waiver. You don't

408
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:38.119
have to you know, get approval. I mean, if you remember,

409
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:41.000
you used to have to get if
you were transferring. You know, the

410
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:45.799
schools that would release you to transfer
used to be able to limit where you

411
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:48.559
could go. Like that's crazy that
that was a thing, and now it's

412
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:52.880
like a free for all, which
is unfornately as chaotic as it is.

413
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:55.559
I'm telling you that's the way that
that that's fair, that's the way it

414
00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:57.640
should be. But either way,
you know, a good chunk of this

415
00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:00.680
from that time frame twenty five fourteen
to twenty thirteen was still in the world

416
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:04.599
where you didn't have the ability to
go add twenty players that are proven college

417
00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:10.400
football players like you can now.
So there are four different tiers here,

418
00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:12.480
and this is a really good graphic. I'm gonna I think I'm gonna retweet

419
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:15.720
it in just a second here,
but it came out over the weekend and

420
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:22.279
it shows the win total on the
left, which you know goes from one

421
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:26.240
to thirteen, and then it has
your your recruiting rankings, you know,

422
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:29.880
one to ten to twenty to thirty
to forty to fifty, to sixty to

423
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:36.920
seventy and there are four programs that
fall in this category elite with elite talent

424
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:44.200
Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia,
and Clemson no surprise, right, like

425
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:48.799
their average win total. I mean
Alabama's average win total in that time frame

426
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:52.599
as thirteen wins or just it's like
twelve point eight or something, and Clemson's

427
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.720
just under twelve and in Ohio State
and Georgia at eleven and a half.

428
00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:00.640
So that is I mean, you
are you bring in elite talent and you

429
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:04.759
win at an elite level. I
mean that is truly in that window.

430
00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:08.599
Again, things have certainly changed,
but in that window, those were the

431
00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:15.119
most dominant teams because you had some
programs that had a flash of real like

432
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:18.440
high level success. I mean LSU
won a national championship with Joe Burrow.

433
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:22.519
But like in that ten year window, they had years where they weren't very

434
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:30.400
good. So there's only that's the
smallest group that exists as far as winning

435
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:37.559
with elite talent, elite results with
elite talent, the biggest window is lose

436
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:44.880
with more talent. So you know, for example, there are it looks

437
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:51.799
like yeah, here we go Tennessee, Miami, Auburn, Florida, Texas,

438
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:56.839
Texas A and m USC and Florida
State, they've all been right around.

439
00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:00.960
First of all, they've all been
in that in that their average recruiting

440
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:07.039
class ranking and that ten year window
was fifteen or better. So in a

441
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:10.039
ten year window, they the average
was fifteen or better. In fact,

442
00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:12.160
A and M was in the top
was in the top ten, Texas was

443
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:17.359
in the top ten. It looks
like Auburn and Florida were right there at

444
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:22.200
ten. Florida State was right around
there as well. So those are schools

445
00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:26.960
that lose, lose with more talent, like they bring in talent, but

446
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:30.759
there when like they it doesn't equal
out. I was surprised Nebraska wasn't in

447
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:34.839
that group. Nebraska is in the
group, but they're in the they're on

448
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:38.759
they're on the lower side of it, like they're their recruiting rankings are not

449
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:41.599
close to top ten, they're closer
to top twenty. That makes sense.

450
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:45.680
So again that's the biggest I haven't
even gotten to half of that big the

451
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:49.599
huge pool that I'm referencing here is
but those are the ones that are legitimately

452
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:55.039
top fifteen every year in recruiting in
that window of time, and they never

453
00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:57.319
averaged more than eight wins, which
eight wins is not I mean, eight

454
00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:00.720
wins is not a bad season for
most. But again, if you're bringing

455
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:06.039
in top ten to top fifteen talent
every year, you should you should have

456
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:08.359
to war your averages. I think
it's closer to ten because you would want

457
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:11.400
in a ten year window, one
or two years to be where you are

458
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:15.200
getting close to eleven wins. Right, maybe that's the year you break through.

459
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:22.119
So Ole, miss their average ranking
was twenty, their average wind total

460
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:26.640
in that time was seven. And
then you've got Nebraska, Arkansas, South

461
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:34.440
Carolina, UCLA, Stanford, North
Carolina, Kentucky, Mississippi State, and

462
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:41.519
Michigan State where Kentucky slightly about Kentucky's
average wind total was seven and their average

463
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:45.720
recruiting ranking was just under thirty.
So again I'll give them a little bit

464
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:47.720
of credit or not credit, but
I'll give him at a little bit of

465
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:49.920
a pass here because I actually think, you know, as much as they

466
00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:55.319
at times don't schedule toughly or they
don't schedule tough in the non conference,

467
00:30:55.799 --> 00:31:00.039
and you know, sometimes they've been
able to put a seven and five or

468
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.519
even a ten and three record together
and unfortunately they just didn't end up playing

469
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:07.559
anybody that was having a good season. I mean, those two win seasons

470
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:08.720
are special for Kentucky. I'm not
trying to knock them, but my point

471
00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:14.119
is this, Like, you know, they're they can be a top thirty

472
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:18.480
recruiting class every year, which I
think would be pretty good for them.

473
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:25.680
But think about where they rank in
their own conference. I mean they're probably

474
00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:29.279
still what like fifth to last or
something like. That's just because that's that's

475
00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:33.920
life in the SEC. So those
are the schools I think that look the

476
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:36.599
worst here because it's not only do
you not have like again, you're not

477
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:40.079
winning an average of four or five
games, but you know you are.

478
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:44.079
You are bringing in elite talent and
there's not a lot to show for it.

479
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:48.839
Yeah, Nebraska, their their average
recruiting ranking was twenty five in that

480
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:53.920
ten year window, john and their
average win their average wins per season was

481
00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:56.799
five. So like in surprise,
Yeah, that's that's pretty bad. So

482
00:31:57.279 --> 00:32:00.200
you have the other group that is
a small group that is win with less

483
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:06.359
talent, where you've got a high
level of wins per season, but your

484
00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:09.720
recruiting rankings aren't great. So shout
out to these schools. These are the

485
00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:17.480
true programs that are doing more with
less. Wisconsin, Oklahoma State, Utah,

486
00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:23.079
and Iowa. They all have an
They had an average win total between

487
00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:30.119
eight point seven and nine point one
and they never had a recruit Their recruiting

488
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:35.720
rankings were never near the never near
the top thirty. Like for example,

489
00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:39.039
Iowa has averaged non wins per season
in that ten year window, and their

490
00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:45.039
recruiting rankings were typically between forty five
and fifty. Like that's crazy. I

491
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:46.680
think it's more based off the style
of play in what they do. Yeah,

492
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:49.559
but very different. They usually win, you know what I mean.

493
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:52.279
They're boring and they know how to
win that style of football and especially the

494
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:55.160
Big Ten West, Like that's really
all. They were known for. Different

495
00:32:55.160 --> 00:32:59.920
style of football compared to the rest
of the country. So another I think

496
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:02.680
you know notable team here is Kansas
State. They don't like their average recruiting

497
00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:07.240
ranking is between fifty five and sixty
and they haven't won anything. Crazy,

498
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:10.480
but in that ten year window they
averaged seven and a half wins. That's

499
00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:15.839
again that's doing more with less.
So Louisville and a handful of other schools

500
00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:22.599
fall in the middle here to where
your average recruiting ranking was around between thirty

501
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:28.000
five and forty and your average wind
total was at seven. You're not in

502
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:30.359
the sweet spot of you lose with
more talent, but you're also not in

503
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:36.960
it to where you're really overachieving.
You're closer to overachieving than underachieving, but

504
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:39.359
you're kind of in the middle there. And that's Missouri, Virginia Tech,

505
00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:46.839
Louisville, West Virginia, Baylor in
Pittsburgh. Did I say anc State?

506
00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:53.279
They're in there too. So then
you have the bad with lesser talent,

507
00:33:54.559 --> 00:34:00.279
and these are schools that recruit really
really poorly and they don't win. And

508
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:06.720
that's Kansas, Vandy, Rutgers,
Purdue, Illinois, and Syracuse. And

509
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:09.599
because of the window of time here, Colorado's actually included there too. So

510
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:15.480
the Indianas of the world, they
I was, they fall not They're not

511
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:19.519
quite as bad, you know what
I'm saying, Like their win total is

512
00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:22.800
kind of on par in that ten
year window with those other schools that US

513
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:27.360
mentioned. But you know, like
for example, Indiana's average wind total was

514
00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:32.199
around five, their average recruiting ranking
was around forty five to fifty, So

515
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:39.599
they're in the class with cal Georgia
Tech, Arizona Virginia and IU, So

516
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:42.639
I don't know, I just thought
that was interesting. Again, it probably

517
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:45.639
won't meet as much down the line
because you can have teams that have a

518
00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:52.039
recruiting class ranked forty fifth, but
they might be elite because they didn't recruit

519
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:54.199
a big class for two years because
the portal it made it to where they

520
00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:58.239
didn't need to do it. And
this will always be like, it's going

521
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:00.880
to be completely like rankings are going
to matter. You always need to be

522
00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:05.679
bringing in young talent and you can
develop and hope that they stick around and

523
00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:08.840
give you great success. But you
know, at the end of the day,

524
00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:14.639
like it's just not as it's not
as important anymore. I mean there's

525
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:16.199
there's now two ways to do it, and I think you're going to still

526
00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:21.000
see both being actively used as far
as how you build your roster. But

527
00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:23.280
again, the portal makes it easier, man, it just does. So

528
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:30.159
the one real random here is is
wake Forest their average win they're off by

529
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:34.840
themselves. Their average win total was
six in that ten year window, and

530
00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:39.920
the recruiting ranking is between sixty five
and seventy. So I think that's you

531
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:43.840
know, that's still on the side
of doing less with more, but they

532
00:35:43.840 --> 00:35:46.840
didn't actually get to the level of
you know, the other schools like an

533
00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:51.440
NC state or a Kansas State who
won more games. All Right, I

534
00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:52.159
just thought that was interesting. Let's
get to a quick break. We'll come

535
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:54.519
back on the other side, wrap
up the four o'clock hour, keep the

536
00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:58.239
party going. It's coffee and company, and we are a few about Thornton's

537
00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:01.960
right here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Usually this time of year, whenever

538
00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:06.199
you know, I'm not watching any
live sports. I do watch a little

539
00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:08.360
summer league, but U and I'm
gonna watch the TV T still excited about

540
00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:13.199
that. But I usually really get
lost in some shows and I'll try to

541
00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:16.599
watch, you know, I just
try to stream different shows that get I

542
00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:20.000
mean, I'm really in I mean, I have way more than I need

543
00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:22.519
as far as the streaming services out
there. But there's a show on Apple

544
00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:27.280
TV that my wife and I started
and we are we're already caught up,

545
00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:30.920
which you know, it's it's new
and Apple TV does the weekly release,

546
00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:36.800
which I hate. I mean,
I still don't understand the benefit of doing

547
00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:40.039
that. But you know, I'm
sure there's clearly a reason why, because

548
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:44.360
if you binge it in a day. You know, you may not come

549
00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:45.639
back for a month until there's something
new there. If you're having to come

550
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:50.599
back every week that keeps the engagement, then you know more, you know,

551
00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:53.239
more time spent on the app that
is Apple TV. But it's it's

552
00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:58.679
really good. It's called Presumed Innocent
and it's got Jake Gillenhall and I think

553
00:36:58.719 --> 00:37:00.239
the next episode comes out to Marow
which I can't wait to binge it.

554
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:04.320
It's been a while since I've seen
a show that has I mean, it's

555
00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:07.639
like a it's a who Done It? It's like the there's like five six

556
00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:12.039
different people within the show that you
know could in fact be the one who

557
00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:15.360
committed a murder, And I like, a good who done it? John?

558
00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:16.719
So, I don't know if you're
interested in that kind of what's last

559
00:37:16.719 --> 00:37:21.159
show you watched? It was New
That was New Man probably the one I

560
00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:23.320
made you watch, right Beef?
Yeah, and I only watched maybe three

561
00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:27.760
or four episodes of that. I
did watch Ted Lasso all the way through.

562
00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:30.440
That's New enough. I know that's
TV, isn't it. Yes?

563
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:35.000
Yeah? So yeah, if you're
looking for something to watch, Presumed Innocent

564
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:38.039
is really good. And then I'm
probably gonna give this a shot because I

565
00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:43.599
this is my cup of tea.
But you know, I didn't watch the

566
00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:46.639
Quarterback one. So Netflix did a
show that was just called Quarterback, and

567
00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:51.800
it featured Patrick Mahomes off the field, all these quarterbacks, I mean,

568
00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:54.480
just follow them, you know,
just a documentary about three NFL quarterbacks.

569
00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:59.920
One was Mahomes, one was Kirk
Cousins, and the other was randomly was

570
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:05.519
Marcus Mariota or maybe I think it
was Mark Marcus Mariota, but either way,

571
00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:07.159
it was really well done according to
everybody who watched it. It got

572
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:09.760
great reviews. A lot of people
kept telling me to watch it, and

573
00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:15.599
I just never did. And it's
it's kind of like why I've never really

574
00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:19.960
been able to get into Hard Knocks. Like those shows are clearly very popular

575
00:38:19.960 --> 00:38:22.480
and successful. People watch them,
and they've been making hard knocks forever,

576
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:27.360
But like, I'm not that interested
in behind the scenes stuff in the NFL.

577
00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:30.360
It doesn't bother me. It's just
not really my interest, you know

578
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:32.239
what I mean. Like those guys
are famous celebrities, Like I'm not really

579
00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:36.119
that interested in their lifestyle, although
you know, maybe some of them have

580
00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:38.280
stored like apparently Kirk Cousins went from
being this guy that people just made fun

581
00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:42.760
of because he get makes a lot
of money, never wins when it matters,

582
00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:45.880
has never really showed a lot of
personality as a player, at least

583
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:49.880
not compared to some of the other
quarterbacks. But apparently seeing him like at

584
00:38:49.880 --> 00:38:52.320
home with his family and he made
him more relatable And I feel like he

585
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:55.920
became a more popular guy within the
NFL because of that show. So they're

586
00:38:55.960 --> 00:39:00.440
doing a receiver one now that actually
comes out I think tomorrow, so I

587
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:02.599
may give that a shot. Those
guys have a little bit more flair to

588
00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:06.519
them, Like I feel like you
may get some better stuff with those guys

589
00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:09.719
than you got with the quarterback.
But either way, both are both.

590
00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:14.239
I'm sure both are well done.
And you know, if I'm ever gonna

591
00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:15.880
just get lost and start binging these
kind of shows, now it's the time

592
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:19.039
to do it, because you know
I'm gonna be doing that until we get

593
00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:23.039
to football season. All right.
Listen up, fellas women, you can

594
00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:27.400
take take advantage of this too,
Maybe not for yourself specifically, but maybe

595
00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:30.119
you could encourage your husband to go
check on my friends of the lous of

00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:31.719
the men's clinic. There's a lot
of services they offer that can help you.

597
00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:37.800
They've helped me when it comes to
testosterone. I've been getting testosterone treatment

598
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:39.840
for the last six months and it's
been a big game changer for me feel

599
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:43.960
better after every workout. I get
more out of each workout. But it's

600
00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:47.079
not just about like muscle and you
know, the manly aspect of testosterone in

601
00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:52.079
your body's there's so many more benefits
to having your levels where they need to

602
00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:55.360
be for someone your age. I
sleep better, have better mental clarity,

603
00:39:55.960 --> 00:40:00.760
I feel better. But now I'm
losing weight and it's because they also offer

604
00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:04.920
weight loss therapy and I'm doing the
semi glue tide, which has really helped

605
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:07.880
me shed some weight pretty quickly here. And it's not like I'm making some

606
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:13.039
uh you know, drastic lifestyle change
with a crazy diet. It's just this

607
00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:17.639
is a medication that that that take
weekly and it's really eliminated the appetite I

608
00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:21.480
used to have, right, I
don't. I don't overeat, and a

609
00:40:21.519 --> 00:40:23.519
lot of people in America overreat and
they don't know that they overeat because that's

610
00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:28.159
just our culture. But I can't
recommend them enough. Maybe it's not weight

611
00:40:28.199 --> 00:40:31.239
loss or testostero. Maybe it's a
rectaltis function, maybe hair restoration. Go
