00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>It's time for Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:23.239
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven to nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.

3
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.800
<v Speaker 2>So I threw this out there yesterday and even maybe

4
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:30.239
<v Speaker 2>a little bit on Monday as well, and that you know,

5
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky fans, like I get why they feel really good

6
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:36.479
<v Speaker 2>about what their team did on Saturday against Georgia even

7
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:40.759
<v Speaker 2>though they lost. But you gotta worry a little bit about, Okay,

8
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:43.000
<v Speaker 2>is there gonna be more attention on the fact that

9
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:46.600
<v Speaker 2>we just played Georgia really really close, closer than maybe

10
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:48.119
<v Speaker 2>anybody will the rest of the way this year. Like

11
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:49.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna be shocked at all if the closest

12
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.399
<v Speaker 2>game Georgia has the rest of the season after they

13
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.119
<v Speaker 2>potentially win the National Championship is that game against Kentucky

14
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.159
<v Speaker 2>because it was that close. But you gotta worry, like,

15
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:01.359
<v Speaker 2>is there as much attention on Kentucky really coming to

16
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:03.399
<v Speaker 2>play or is it more about how their coach wouldn't

17
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.799
<v Speaker 2>go for it? And I think as of now, you know,

18
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:09.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's all the Kentucky fans are going to decide

19
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:10.359
<v Speaker 2>which way they want to view it, right, are they

20
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna be optimistic or are they going to be like, damn,

21
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Mark Stoops, your conservative play calling. That's why we're never

22
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.319
<v Speaker 2>gonna be an elite program. Like again, you do what

23
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.599
<v Speaker 2>you want to do. But there's there's so much attention

24
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.680
<v Speaker 2>on that close game that I feel like Georgia, I mean,

25
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:26.519
<v Speaker 2>they're not even getting their fair criticism that you would

26
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:28.400
<v Speaker 2>get for a team that's supposed to be a lot

27
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:30.400
<v Speaker 2>better than what they showed Saturday, because it's all about

28
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Mark Stoops not going foot on fourth down. I mentioned

29
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Chris mad Dog Russo losing his mind having a rant

30
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:37.000
<v Speaker 2>about it on.

31
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:41.480
<v Speaker 3>Pardon the End. What's the show? First take?

32
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:43.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, Steven A. Smith, would they just yell that's that?

33
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:46.200
<v Speaker 2>That's what it's called. Right now, I'm a regular listener

34
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.439
<v Speaker 2>pardon my take on Barstool Sports to where I like

35
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>get him mixed up. But first take is the show,

36
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:56.120
<v Speaker 2>and that's easily one of the most watched shows ESPN has.

37
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>It might be the most watch show they had that's

38
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 2>not a live game. And then now you've got the

39
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.000
<v Speaker 2>most listened to sports podcast out there. I guess outside

40
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:05.879
<v Speaker 2>of I guess maybe I shouldn't say this anymore because

41
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:07.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it is still number one, but

42
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.879
<v Speaker 2>pardon my take with Big Cat PFT. It's been a

43
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 2>dominant podcast in the sports landscape for many, many years,

44
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>but now you've got the Kelsey Brothers who have a

45
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 2>really popular podcast, and I think there's another one out

46
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:20.879
<v Speaker 2>there that's that's massively successful. But one of the guys

47
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:22.479
<v Speaker 2>I might have been PFT that said that if I

48
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.639
<v Speaker 2>was a Kentucky fan, I'd be so heartbroken because Mark

49
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Stoop's his decision to punt it eliminated the opportunity for

50
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.960
<v Speaker 2>a core moment as a sport, as a Kentucky fan,

51
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:33.639
<v Speaker 2>And that's a little much, but you think about it,

52
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.560
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of true because I'd be willing to bet

53
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:40.199
<v Speaker 2>that had they somehow pulled off the upset by going

54
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:42.439
<v Speaker 2>for me going forward, and because again that's another thing

55
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 2>that gets lost here about that decision is that you're

56
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:51.080
<v Speaker 2>you are super conservative, and that is why you were

57
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.439
<v Speaker 2>in that position. But by going for it, because he's

58
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.439
<v Speaker 2>he's since taken criticism and he's I think handled it

59
00:02:57.479 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 2>pretty professionally meeting Stoops like, I think he's dealing with

60
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.759
<v Speaker 2>it about as best as a coach can understanding that, like, yeah,

61
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:04.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean, people are crushing him he's still he's kind

62
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:06.599
<v Speaker 2>of doubling down on his decision, but he's at least

63
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:08.879
<v Speaker 2>handling it, I think without arrogance.

64
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:13.319
<v Speaker 3>But you know, he said that we're not built.

65
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:15.479
<v Speaker 2>To and I don't have the quote in front of me,

66
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 2>but he essentially said, we're not built to go down

67
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.000
<v Speaker 2>the field vertically against Georgia, which most teams aren't. Right,

68
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.319
<v Speaker 2>So he's right in that regard. But that's all the

69
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.800
<v Speaker 2>more reason not to pun it away because even if

70
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 2>you get the ball back, even if what you plan

71
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.680
<v Speaker 2>to happen happened, you'd have no timeouts, very little time

72
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:31.439
<v Speaker 2>left on the clock, and then you'd have to turn

73
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:36.240
<v Speaker 2>into this team that can go downfield with Georgia. So

74
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.319
<v Speaker 2>had they got the first down, killed as much clock

75
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.639
<v Speaker 2>as possible before hitting a game winning field goal, I

76
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 2>bet every Kentucky football fan would remember that for the

77
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.960
<v Speaker 2>rest of their life. You'll beat number one very often.

78
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 2>And I know you did it against LSU and that

79
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.000
<v Speaker 2>was a big moment. They actually showed highlights of that

80
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.680
<v Speaker 2>during that game. But LSU at that time is not

81
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 2>what Georgy is now. I mean, like, let's be real,

82
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Georgia could win the next three National championships and nobody

83
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.960
<v Speaker 2>would be shocked. That's you know, never happened before. But

84
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.560
<v Speaker 2>they're on pace right now to be better than everybody,

85
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 2>especially with that news yesterday where they had some legislation

86
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 2>pass that makes it to where every Georgia university is

87
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 2>allowed to pay players directly within IL. So like they're

88
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.839
<v Speaker 2>already ahead of people now again, it'll eventually everybody's gonna

89
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:27.279
<v Speaker 2>be there, I feel like. But anyways, just not just

90
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, not to pile on here, but like if

91
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.480
<v Speaker 2>I was a Kentucky fan, I would because I don't

92
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:35.199
<v Speaker 2>want to be miserable. I would try to find some

93
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:38.199
<v Speaker 2>positives which aren't hard to find, because you know, if

94
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 2>you can play that well against Georgia, you should be

95
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:42.399
<v Speaker 2>able to beat a lot of teams on your schedule.

96
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean you probably won't, but like, you know, you

97
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.000
<v Speaker 2>feel like you could compete, give yourself a chance to

98
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:47.879
<v Speaker 2>win and still have a special season despite being one

99
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:52.600
<v Speaker 2>and two right now, but you're getting national attention like

100
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:54.600
<v Speaker 2>you really never get. And it's not because damn, how

101
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:56.839
<v Speaker 2>about that Kentucky team. It's because can you believe their

102
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 2>coach didn't didn't go for it on fourth and eight midfield.

103
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Three minutes left against Georgia, so kind of kind of

104
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 2>salt to the wound a little bit. All right, it's

105
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:09.279
<v Speaker 2>coffee and company. We are fueled by Thornton's and this

106
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:11.639
<v Speaker 2>is Sports Talk seven ninety nit coffee. That's me, the

107
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:15.399
<v Speaker 2>company man, mister John Alden is alongside. We got about

108
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:16.079
<v Speaker 2>fifty minutes left.

109
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:16.199
<v Speaker 1>Now.

110
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:17.560
<v Speaker 2>We are gonna be joined coming up here at five

111
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:21.279
<v Speaker 2>thirty by a good a really good guy to talk

112
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:23.759
<v Speaker 2>to about the enemy, the opponent that's coming to town

113
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.839
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Chad Bishop from

114
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:29.079
<v Speaker 2>the Atlanta General Constitution going to join us, coming up

115
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 2>here at five thirty. We'll get his thoughts on this

116
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.360
<v Speaker 2>match up. He'll talk to us and educate us on

117
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.959
<v Speaker 2>this Georgia Tech team that is off to a off

118
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.000
<v Speaker 2>to a decent start. You know, I hadn't mentioned this yet,

119
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:41.319
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not acting. I'm not going to try to

120
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.920
<v Speaker 2>build them up as some big team that you know,

121
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:46.759
<v Speaker 2>like is way better than they really are.

122
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:47.879
<v Speaker 3>I mean, because you know I think.

123
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:49.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean right now, they're ten and a half point

124
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.240
<v Speaker 2>favorites or I'm sorry, ten and a half point underdogs.

125
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:53.759
<v Speaker 2>But and this is where I feel like I already

126
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:55.600
<v Speaker 2>regret going down this path, but I'm not going to.

127
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:56.480
<v Speaker 3>Eject just yet.

128
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:01.639
<v Speaker 2>Georgia State beat Vandy this pastlast weekend, and that is

129
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Vandy's first loss. Vandy, if you remember, beating Virginia Tech

130
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:07.519
<v Speaker 2>and was up two touchdowns on them. So I think

131
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Vandy's better than people expected. But they did just lose

132
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.079
<v Speaker 2>to Georgia Tech, so maybe that's wrong. Well, this Georgia

133
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Tech team beat the hell out of Georgia State when

134
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:18.399
<v Speaker 2>they played them right after their win against against Florida State.

135
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:23.240
<v Speaker 2>So their loss to Syracuse was certainly one that makes

136
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:24.920
<v Speaker 2>them no longer ranked. And if they were ranked in

137
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:26.319
<v Speaker 2>this then this game would have a little bit more

138
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.920
<v Speaker 2>juice to it. But nonetheless, it's Louisville's first test and

139
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:31.959
<v Speaker 2>they will be tested in a major way compared to

140
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:33.879
<v Speaker 2>what they were tested in the first two games against

141
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:37.279
<v Speaker 2>Jacksonville State and Austin p I have no clue really

142
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:40.240
<v Speaker 2>what to expect. Like I think Louisville will win, I

143
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:42.079
<v Speaker 2>don't know if they'll cover. That's one thing than in

144
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:44.519
<v Speaker 2>the last twenty four hours. It's not that I'm losing,

145
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, confidence in Louisville as a team. It's not

146
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:51.360
<v Speaker 2>that I'm thinking they're on upset alert, but ten and

147
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.120
<v Speaker 2>a half is a lot of points, and Georgia Tech

148
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:56.160
<v Speaker 2>is a pretty good team. Our man for Vegas Insider,

149
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.079
<v Speaker 2>Brian Edwards, who joins us each and every week, will

150
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.519
<v Speaker 2>join us tomorrow. He did mention this to earlier when

151
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.879
<v Speaker 2>he and I were chatting, and this is I mean again,

152
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.319
<v Speaker 2>this is you know, I'm not as big on trends,

153
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:08.959
<v Speaker 2>but I feel like with Brent Key being in what

154
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:11.600
<v Speaker 2>his second year there, I mean this is this is

155
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:15.680
<v Speaker 2>a notable, notable stat. He is thirteen and three against

156
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.680
<v Speaker 2>the spread with with ten outright wins as an underdog.

157
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:21.759
<v Speaker 3>So I mean.

158
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 2>It's early on in the Brent Key era, but I

159
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.160
<v Speaker 2>feel like he is somebody that you can claim early

160
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.079
<v Speaker 2>on that like his teams are in a much better

161
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.000
<v Speaker 2>situation when they are really giving no chance to win.

162
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.279
<v Speaker 2>So I'm looking forward to it on Saturday, and again

163
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.040
<v Speaker 2>we will join. We will be joined coming up here

164
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.439
<v Speaker 2>in about twenty minutes by Chad Bishop from the Atlanta

165
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Journal Constitution, who has Kentucky roots. I know there's plenty

166
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.240
<v Speaker 2>of people listening that know about Chad. He used to

167
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.680
<v Speaker 2>cover WKU back for WBKO down there in Bowling Green.

168
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:52.439
<v Speaker 2>Then he spent some time in Atlanta, I'm sorry, not Atlanta, Nashville.

169
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:55.279
<v Speaker 2>He worked for the sports information department at Vanderbilt, and

170
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.720
<v Speaker 2>now he's down in the AA as they say, covering

171
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.399
<v Speaker 2>Georgia Tech for one of the bigger newspapers in the country.

172
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.639
<v Speaker 2>So looking forward to catching up with Chad. All right,

173
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:06.879
<v Speaker 2>let's see here. Let me remind you, speaking of Saturday,

174
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:08.920
<v Speaker 2>we've got you covered for all the game day coverage.

175
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:11.920
<v Speaker 2>The Louisville Football pre game Show percent about Pellow Windows

176
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:14.639
<v Speaker 2>and Doors of Central Kentucky and Jefferson Animal Hospital, is

177
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:18.199
<v Speaker 2>gonna start at two thirty, an hour before kickoff, and

178
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:20.639
<v Speaker 2>then as soon as the game ends, we'll go live

179
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:23.040
<v Speaker 2>right here reacting to whatever it is that happens in

180
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:25.360
<v Speaker 2>the Louislle Football postgame show, presented by Alex R.

181
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:25.639
<v Speaker 3>White.

182
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:29.079
<v Speaker 2>So distracted Driver dot Com. And uh, gonna be a

183
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:30.800
<v Speaker 2>busy day, gonna be a big day, and I'm hoping

184
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:34.480
<v Speaker 2>that our postgame show is really a celebration and it'll

185
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, I kind of feel like if we win

186
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.320
<v Speaker 2>big here I am saying we like I'm on the team.

187
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:42.799
<v Speaker 2>People hate when I do that. I did that this morning. Sometimes,

188
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:44.600
<v Speaker 2>oh sometimes I can't help my Sometimes I just do

189
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:46.720
<v Speaker 2>it to piss people off. But I used to be

190
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.919
<v Speaker 2>somebody that would catch myself because but now, like you know, look,

191
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:52.039
<v Speaker 2>you bring Jeff brom home, I'm gonna say we because

192
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:55.159
<v Speaker 2>he's one of us. So if Louisville does win big,

193
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:59.440
<v Speaker 2>we're probably gonna celebrate in a way that makes the

194
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:01.639
<v Speaker 2>win seem like it actually is worth more than what

195
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:03.440
<v Speaker 2>it is. I mean, it's a conference win, right, and

196
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.840
<v Speaker 2>it'll be your biggest win up to this point. But

197
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.360
<v Speaker 2>because this is a rare late September matchup where you

198
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.519
<v Speaker 2>haven't been tested yet and you've already had a bye week,

199
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:14.759
<v Speaker 2>like I think, a big time performance from the Cards

200
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:17.600
<v Speaker 2>and they cover or win big even, I think we're

201
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.039
<v Speaker 2>gonna be We're gonna be partying on that postgame show,

202
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:21.600
<v Speaker 2>and I hope you guys will well join us for that.

203
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:22.720
<v Speaker 3>All right.

204
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:28.080
<v Speaker 2>So Pat Kelsey, yesterday he was speaking at an event

205
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:32.159
<v Speaker 2>called Operation Revival at the Fraser History Museum. It was

206
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:35.120
<v Speaker 2>their event to really introduce him to the community, and

207
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:36.720
<v Speaker 2>he did a Q and A with somebody I'm not

208
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:39.559
<v Speaker 2>sure who the host was, but Kent not Kent Taylor,

209
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:41.720
<v Speaker 2>we love Kent Taylor, but Kent Spencer we love him too.

210
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:44.240
<v Speaker 2>He joins us each week as well. From WHS eleven.

211
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:45.799
<v Speaker 2>He was on site for the event and he got

212
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.039
<v Speaker 2>some clips that I wanted to play with you guys,

213
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:51.000
<v Speaker 2>because I think a lot of times when it comes

214
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:56.360
<v Speaker 2>to coaches being asked about a rivalry or a coach

215
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:59.399
<v Speaker 2>of the rival, or just the rival in general. And

216
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:01.399
<v Speaker 2>by the way, those all three different things, right, what

217
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.799
<v Speaker 2>you think about the coach who is your rival, who

218
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:08.639
<v Speaker 2>coaches the rival school, the rivalry itself meaning like fans,

219
00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:10.600
<v Speaker 2>and then of course you know the rival program. So

220
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.600
<v Speaker 2>I think this is a really genuine and genuine answer

221
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:17.919
<v Speaker 2>for Pat, which not to say he's been not giving

222
00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:20.320
<v Speaker 2>us genuine answers when asked questions, and he's even been

223
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:22.360
<v Speaker 2>on this show, so I think he's genuine. But like

224
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.759
<v Speaker 2>right now, there's no animosity between these two and I

225
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.759
<v Speaker 2>think just not that I know them personally, but I

226
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:33.399
<v Speaker 2>think both of them, like put it this way, this

227
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:35.759
<v Speaker 2>is the best way to describe it. I think they

228
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:38.360
<v Speaker 2>would actually be good buddies, and they might be good

229
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.320
<v Speaker 2>buddies like legitimately and just know that, Hey, we have

230
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:41.840
<v Speaker 2>to act like we hate each other so our fans

231
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:43.639
<v Speaker 2>get excited. And maybe they won't be able to do

232
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:45.720
<v Speaker 2>that because it'll be very hard to force that. But

233
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:49.919
<v Speaker 2>let's just say Pat Kelsey is coaching at Cincinnati and

234
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:53.559
<v Speaker 2>Mark Pope is coaching at Purdue, and they became they

235
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:58.480
<v Speaker 2>crossed paths and recruiting, they networked, and they ended up

236
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:00.360
<v Speaker 2>meeting each other. Like from what I get when I

237
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:02.759
<v Speaker 2>can gather, I can see these two dudes being pretty

238
00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:06.720
<v Speaker 2>good friends. I mean, I think Mark Post probably gonna

239
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:08.919
<v Speaker 2>be a little more boring than Pat Kelcey, but you know,

240
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.320
<v Speaker 2>other than that, I think they they clearly respect one

241
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:13.840
<v Speaker 2>another at this point. And I just have a hard

242
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.440
<v Speaker 2>time seeing anything happening or transpiring where there's really genuine

243
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.559
<v Speaker 2>animosity between the two coaches. And we got spoiled because

244
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:26.200
<v Speaker 2>there'll never be that level of animosity like there was

245
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:30.559
<v Speaker 2>with Beatino and Cal that's a personal rivalry that was

246
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:34.279
<v Speaker 2>very heated and contentious with some pretty deep rooted history

247
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:38.039
<v Speaker 2>between those two individuals. And then you could you throw

248
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:41.279
<v Speaker 2>and now they're leading two different fan bases, two different

249
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:44.600
<v Speaker 2>programs that hate each other, that have a lot of history,

250
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:47.639
<v Speaker 2>and it is the best rivalry in my opinion, in

251
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:50.440
<v Speaker 2>college basketball, and yes I'm biased in that opinion. But

252
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.399
<v Speaker 2>here's what he had to say when asked about When

253
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:55.840
<v Speaker 2>asked about that, he did kind of play play dumb

254
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:57.360
<v Speaker 2>a little bit, like, oh, wait a second, you're saying

255
00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:59.440
<v Speaker 2>we got a we got a big rivalry. I gotta

256
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:00.480
<v Speaker 2>I gotta make sure remember that.

257
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:02.799
<v Speaker 4>So let me write this down. We like to beat

258
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:06.080
<v Speaker 4>those guys, right, I just got to remember this.

259
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I got a lot of journalism because that was

260
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:10.039
<v Speaker 1>the depth of my questions.

261
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:13.919
<v Speaker 4>You know where you know, it's one of the great

262
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:15.759
<v Speaker 4>rivalries in collegiate sports.

263
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:16.600
<v Speaker 1>It is.

264
00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:19.240
<v Speaker 4>I know how important it is to the people of

265
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:22.080
<v Speaker 4>this town. You know. I've gotten to know Mark a

266
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.080
<v Speaker 4>little bit, you know, and I can't probably shouldn't say

267
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.879
<v Speaker 4>it very loud, but try not to like him. But

268
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:30.399
<v Speaker 4>he's a pretty good dude.

269
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:32.440
<v Speaker 3>I was like, why you.

270
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:33.919
<v Speaker 4>Got to be not why you gotta be a good dude.

271
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:36.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm supposed to like dislike you. But you know, Coach

272
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:40.240
<v Speaker 4>Prosser when he was at Xavier, Bob Huggins when he

273
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:42.960
<v Speaker 4>was at Cincinnati, you were there Andy then during that time.

274
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean that that that maybe not as well known nationally.

275
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:51.080
<v Speaker 4>But that is a nasty, nasty, nasty rivalry houses, you know,

276
00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:54.600
<v Speaker 4>homes divided, all that stuff, and it's the city shuts down.

277
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:59.000
<v Speaker 4>It's nasty. But and those are two nasty competitive dudes,

278
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:02.679
<v Speaker 4>but they they had a good relationship, right, there can

279
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:08.519
<v Speaker 4>be honor among thieves, like can we say so? I'm

280
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:11.519
<v Speaker 4>just excited to be a part of it. It is.

281
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:15.240
<v Speaker 4>I think rivalries are what makes college sports great. And

282
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:17.559
<v Speaker 4>you know, they stop being rivalries if you don't win

283
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:19.879
<v Speaker 4>one every once in a while. So let's let's think

284
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:22.120
<v Speaker 4>and go, let's go, let's go.

285
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:25.679
<v Speaker 2>So I wanted to play that not as if it's

286
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:27.759
<v Speaker 2>some juicy piece of sound that you know is going

287
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:31.120
<v Speaker 2>to really get things going. But that's my prediction is

288
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:32.960
<v Speaker 2>that those guys will have a lot of respect for

289
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:39.120
<v Speaker 2>one another, and they're not really like you know what

290
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:41.240
<v Speaker 2>what is similar is that they're starting at the same time.

291
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.960
<v Speaker 2>They're not inheriting the same thing, but they But then again,

292
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:47.039
<v Speaker 2>like Kentucky has been, you know, used to success recently,

293
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.360
<v Speaker 2>they just have been upset in the tournament. But they

294
00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:52.000
<v Speaker 2>are both in their first year at a new school.

295
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Neither would have ever been on a list of ten

296
00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:58.799
<v Speaker 2>like if you'd ask people a year ago today, give

297
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.120
<v Speaker 2>me ten names most likely to take over if these

298
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:04.080
<v Speaker 2>guys aren't here next year, Caliperry, and Pain. I don't

299
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:06.200
<v Speaker 2>think either of these guys would have been on the list.

300
00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:09.919
<v Speaker 2>In fact, Pat Kelsey might have been. Pope might have

301
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.080
<v Speaker 2>been too, But Pope it would have just been because

302
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:14.759
<v Speaker 2>of the fact that he played there, and Barnhart, like,

303
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:16.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, you can see how he would really like

304
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Mark Pope, so you know there are some similarities, but

305
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:23.039
<v Speaker 2>then again there's not. You know, like Pat Kelsey, he

306
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:27.399
<v Speaker 2>could he could. Like again, if Louisville makes the tournament

307
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:31.000
<v Speaker 2>this year and you know, gets a sixth seed and

308
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.960
<v Speaker 2>you feel like, wow, that was you know, like if

309
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:35.440
<v Speaker 2>both schools did that, I think they are going to

310
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:38.720
<v Speaker 2>understand that they are you know, it's the first season

311
00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:41.480
<v Speaker 2>in a new era and you know, coming out like

312
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:43.600
<v Speaker 2>gangbusters and making a deep run in the tournament, like,

313
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:47.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, although it could happen, you know, it's expecting

314
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:49.159
<v Speaker 2>that and saying that's the fail or pass, that's the

315
00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:51.159
<v Speaker 2>pass or fail of the season is a little unrealistic,

316
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:55.840
<v Speaker 2>a little bit unreasonable honestly. But like with Pope, if

317
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:58.480
<v Speaker 2>they slip up and lose to teams that, like, you know,

318
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:02.519
<v Speaker 2>here's the thing, Mark Pope, I think you have a

319
00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:05.039
<v Speaker 2>much much less likely chance of losing to Saint Peter's

320
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:08.279
<v Speaker 2>or Oakland with Mark Pope as your coach. But like,

321
00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:13.559
<v Speaker 2>will you have a regular season consistently that you can

322
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:17.120
<v Speaker 2>find yourself with the top three four seed that remains

323
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:19.000
<v Speaker 2>to be seen, And like if Pope can't get to

324
00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:22.639
<v Speaker 2>that standard, like he's his, he'll I don't want to

325
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:26.919
<v Speaker 2>say a good run out of town, but I just

326
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:30.080
<v Speaker 2>think Louisville fans still are going to have really high

327
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:31.960
<v Speaker 2>standards for their program and want to win at a

328
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:34.039
<v Speaker 2>high level and know that this is a program that

329
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:35.639
<v Speaker 2>if you've got a good coach and here he's got

330
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:38.480
<v Speaker 2>resources too, where you can win national championships. So like

331
00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Louisville fans know that, but we we are going to

332
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:42.879
<v Speaker 2>not be able to control ourselves when it comes to

333
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:44.799
<v Speaker 2>getting excited about things that you didn't used to get

334
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.240
<v Speaker 2>excited about. It used to be just another day for Louisville.

335
00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:49.759
<v Speaker 2>If you play a mid tier ACC team and you

336
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:52.360
<v Speaker 2>beat them by twenty, that was just life for a while.

337
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:57.759
<v Speaker 2>That ain't been life recently, so they're not really in

338
00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:00.639
<v Speaker 2>the same situation, but there are some similarities to situations.

339
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, both of them have entirely brand new teams,

340
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:05.720
<v Speaker 2>and you know it's because of the coaching change, and

341
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:08.279
<v Speaker 2>it's because places like Louislle and Kentucky can do that.

342
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:12.080
<v Speaker 2>They can utilize inile money and utilize their brand and

343
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:14.559
<v Speaker 2>utilize the fact that you know, they are one of

344
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:16.799
<v Speaker 2>the there are two of the top programs ever, and

345
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:19.320
<v Speaker 2>I clear I understand Kentucky's clearly ahead of Louisville in

346
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:21.799
<v Speaker 2>that regard, but they are both in that in that

347
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:23.799
<v Speaker 2>tier to where you can, you know, you can quickly

348
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:26.440
<v Speaker 2>put together a pretty good roster all from scratch and

349
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:28.519
<v Speaker 2>be pretty good, because you know, that's the world we're

350
00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:31.399
<v Speaker 2>in now. But again, I think they will like each other.

351
00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:32.559
<v Speaker 3>I really do. I could be wrong.

352
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Maybe there's something about Pope or something about Kelsey that

353
00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:39.039
<v Speaker 2>it'll be easy for, you know, the two to dislike

354
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:40.919
<v Speaker 2>each other, but I do think it's genuine right now.

355
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:44.279
<v Speaker 2>And he meant you heard him talking about Cincinnati there,

356
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:46.279
<v Speaker 2>and that's I think we talked about it whenever we

357
00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:49.960
<v Speaker 2>were getting into the whole conversation about where Louisville and

358
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky's rivalry ranks, and I think most people would put

359
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:56.519
<v Speaker 2>it at number two, and I wouldn't like tell them

360
00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:59.200
<v Speaker 2>that they're insane. But I've always had the same stance,

361
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:02.799
<v Speaker 2>and that is that, if you know, I think what

362
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:06.559
<v Speaker 2>makes a rivalry great is fans, not anything else.

363
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:06.839
<v Speaker 3>Fans.

364
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Players come and go, coaches come and go. Fans and

365
00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:12.519
<v Speaker 2>you have so many Louisville Kentucky fans in this city

366
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:15.240
<v Speaker 2>that coexist together to where like I feel like, you know,

367
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:17.680
<v Speaker 2>to really evaluate how heated and crazy this thing is

368
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:20.640
<v Speaker 2>around here, you got to be here same thing as Cincinnati.

369
00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:23.599
<v Speaker 2>There's not Xavier and Cincinnati fans throughout the state. I mean,

370
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:25.599
<v Speaker 2>maybe there are as far as like a lum and

371
00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:27.920
<v Speaker 2>maybe there are other random Cincinnati fans that live in

372
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:32.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, Cleveland or something, but the majority of the

373
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:35.559
<v Speaker 2>fans of both of those programs are all in Cincinnati,

374
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:37.839
<v Speaker 2>and that's why it's nasty there and that's just not

375
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:40.480
<v Speaker 2>as common, you know what I mean. Like and with

376
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Duke and Carolina, clearly like they are the best rivalry

377
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:46.839
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to just the success in the history

378
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:48.880
<v Speaker 2>and tradition of the two of those two programs, because

379
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:50.839
<v Speaker 2>those are the two of the best programs of all time.

380
00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:54.720
<v Speaker 2>But Duke fans like, there's not that many of them, guys.

381
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:58.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you go to a Duke game and Durham

382
00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:00.720
<v Speaker 2>I've been to one. It's mostly college students who grew

383
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:05.880
<v Speaker 2>up in the Northeast. Like n C State is more

384
00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:10.599
<v Speaker 2>of a comparable rival to North Carolina than Duke is

385
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:13.519
<v Speaker 2>as far as the Louisville, Kentucky side of things. But

386
00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:15.680
<v Speaker 2>again I'm biased. I understand like a lot of people

387
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.759
<v Speaker 2>would tune in across the country who like college basketball

388
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:20.640
<v Speaker 2>and say, this guy's an idiot. There there's no debate.

389
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Caroline and Duke here are the two best rivals in

390
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:26.519
<v Speaker 2>college basketball, and there's not even a close second. And

391
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:28.559
<v Speaker 2>you know you have your opinion. I have mine. You

392
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:30.839
<v Speaker 2>got people fighting at a Dallass clinic in their eighties.

393
00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:34.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so we did, which I think that

394
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:36.079
<v Speaker 2>gives me a chance to play that again, because that

395
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:37.680
<v Speaker 2>was insane.

396
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:42.079
<v Speaker 5>The rivalry between UK and U of L fans runs deep.

397
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:44.720
<v Speaker 5>But police say they've never been called to a place

398
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:48.440
<v Speaker 5>like this to break up a fight between fans. Police

399
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:50.319
<v Speaker 5>are calling it a flagrant foul.

400
00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:52.440
<v Speaker 3>I think this is a first out a dialysis.

401
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:54.799
<v Speaker 5>Clinic officers were called after a UK and U of

402
00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:57.839
<v Speaker 5>L fan gave each other a full court press during

403
00:18:57.880 --> 00:18:58.720
<v Speaker 5>treatment Monday.

404
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:01.920
<v Speaker 6>You just happened to think that l U of L

405
00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:04.039
<v Speaker 6>would beat the UK, and he started running his mouth.

406
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:06.920
<v Speaker 6>That's what That's what started.

407
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:09.160
<v Speaker 7>I ain't talk to him about the ball again. I'll

408
00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:10.759
<v Speaker 7>talk to another guy about the ball. He meant it

409
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:15.519
<v Speaker 7>and told me shut up, then give me the thing.

410
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:18.000
<v Speaker 7>I said, what I'm not talking to you both.

411
00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:20.599
<v Speaker 5>Mean admit they were in the zone, but never anticipated

412
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:22.400
<v Speaker 5>there'd be a power forward.

413
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:24.319
<v Speaker 7>I wasn't gonna take no more of him.

414
00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:26.680
<v Speaker 6>You know, I'm setting there, hooked up to a machine

415
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:28.200
<v Speaker 6>and I can't do anything, and.

416
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I wonn't told and I hit him and he made

417
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:30.839
<v Speaker 1>her but I hit.

418
00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:33.440
<v Speaker 5>By the time police arrived, the fight was over.

419
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:36.599
<v Speaker 6>I'm just sorry it even happened. Hopefully they just he

420
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:38.799
<v Speaker 6>won't come in the same time I do anymore.

421
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:41.599
<v Speaker 5>Wilson does say that he won't be pressing any charges

422
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:43.799
<v Speaker 5>against Taylor, but he does say that he helps the

423
00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:48.519
<v Speaker 5>Wildcats win in Georgetout, Elizabeth, Dorset, wky T twenty seven News.

424
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:50.759
<v Speaker 2>First, anytime I get a chance to play that, I'm

425
00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:53.920
<v Speaker 2>going to do it. It's that the puns, the two

426
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:56.559
<v Speaker 2>guys themselves talking the story itself.

427
00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:00.319
<v Speaker 3>It's good stuff. So all right, quick time out.

446

447
00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:58.519
<v Speaker 8>I'm as tired as the football team is, but man,

448
00:20:58.559 --> 00:20:59.960
<v Speaker 8>it's it's been a journey so far.

449
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:00.559
<v Speaker 3>I get it.

450
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Man, it's a grind, and you guys have certainly been

451
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:04.920
<v Speaker 2>busy starting it across the pond and having no week off.

452
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:06.599
<v Speaker 3>Louisill had the rare bye week.

453
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:09.200
<v Speaker 2>In September, which it won't be rare moving forward because

454
00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:10.759
<v Speaker 2>there's now going to be two by weeks. But yes,

455
00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:13.559
<v Speaker 2>Louisville coming fresh off of bye, Georgia Tech coming off

456
00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:16.640
<v Speaker 2>of a bounce back victory against VMI. Before we get

457
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:19.279
<v Speaker 2>into the matchup between these two teams, let's go back

458
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:22.519
<v Speaker 2>to the opener. I mean, I remember, I can't claim

459
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:24.960
<v Speaker 2>that I predicted the upset. I can't claim that I

460
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:26.960
<v Speaker 2>thought it would be like a super close game, but

461
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:31.240
<v Speaker 2>I do remember kind of not realizing how well Georgia

462
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Tech finished the season a year ago, and they had

463
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:37.519
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good season, a really good debut for Brent

464
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Key down there, and you know, you guys at the

465
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:42.839
<v Speaker 2>time seem to have shocked the world. Now the wind

466
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:44.440
<v Speaker 2>looks a little bit different, but that has nothing to

467
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:45.880
<v Speaker 2>do with you, guys. You just I mean, you can't

468
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:47.920
<v Speaker 2>control that. Florida State has kind of fallen apart since

469
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:50.160
<v Speaker 2>that victory. I guess my question is did you feel

470
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:53.039
<v Speaker 2>like going into this season that Georgia Tech was maybe

471
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:56.319
<v Speaker 2>not getting the love that maybe they deserved.

472
00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:01.920
<v Speaker 8>Absolutely, And part of that is the word continuity. This

473
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:04.720
<v Speaker 8>day in college football, that's so hard to come by.

474
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:07.839
<v Speaker 8>And when he looked at Georgia Tech's program, not only

475
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:10.480
<v Speaker 8>is Brent keyback for his second year, but so is

476
00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:13.799
<v Speaker 8>quarterback Haynes King and running back Jamal Haynes, four of

477
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:17.839
<v Speaker 8>five starting offensive linemen, pretty much every leading wide receiver

478
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:21.759
<v Speaker 8>from a year ago, quarterbacks coach Chris Winki, offensive coordinator

479
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:25.559
<v Speaker 8>Buster Faulkner, offensive line coach Jeep Wade, even though they

480
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:28.359
<v Speaker 8>found a new defensive coordinator and Tyler Santucci had a duke,

481
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:30.079
<v Speaker 8>there were a lot of guys back on the defensive

482
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:33.079
<v Speaker 8>side of the ball. So the point for me there

483
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:34.920
<v Speaker 8>is is like, there's a lot of guys back who

484
00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:40.079
<v Speaker 8>understood the expectations, understood what success looked like at the

485
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:42.960
<v Speaker 8>end of twenty twenty three, and then you're going against

486
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:45.240
<v Speaker 8>a Florida State program who's doing things a little bit differently,

487
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:47.079
<v Speaker 8>bringing in a lot of transfers kind of year and

488
00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:50.720
<v Speaker 8>year out, and trying to build that way. So in

489
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:53.720
<v Speaker 8>the way that Florida State season ended last year, I

490
00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:55.759
<v Speaker 8>think there was something to be said about that. And

491
00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:57.880
<v Speaker 8>then I just got the sense that, you know, I

492
00:22:57.920 --> 00:22:59.799
<v Speaker 8>don't know, I just felt like Jeordia Tech was maybe

493
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:02.279
<v Speaker 8>take making that matchup a little bit more seriously than

494
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:05.200
<v Speaker 8>Florida State. Was not to say that the Seminoles maybe

495
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:07.880
<v Speaker 8>took Georgia Tech lightly, but it seemed to be a

496
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:10.880
<v Speaker 8>little bit more of a vacation vibe for Florida State

497
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:13.759
<v Speaker 8>and more of a business trip for Georgia Tech. So yeah,

498
00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:16.160
<v Speaker 8>I wasn't surprised that Georgia Tech won. I thought it

499
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:18.480
<v Speaker 8>would be a close game. Now, you know, I didn't

500
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:20.240
<v Speaker 8>know if they would necessarily, like I said, get out

501
00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:21.559
<v Speaker 8>of there with a win, but I thought it would

502
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:24.480
<v Speaker 8>be a four quarter game, and lo and behold, Georgia

503
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:26.079
<v Speaker 8>Tech got out of there with a win. Now, Brent

504
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:28.519
<v Speaker 8>Keya said, often, you know that last field goal goes

505
00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:30.960
<v Speaker 8>six inches one way or the other, it goes over

506
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:33.240
<v Speaker 8>time and who knows what happened, So it's a game

507
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:35.160
<v Speaker 8>of benches and then Georgia Tech got the break on

508
00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:35.559
<v Speaker 8>that day.

509
00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:37.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I know, I'm not alone, britt Key.

510
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:39.240
<v Speaker 2>He's somebody that has really impressed a lot of folks

511
00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:41.680
<v Speaker 2>and I think he's got a bright future there at

512
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:44.559
<v Speaker 2>Georgia Tech. And you know, last year, I just felt

513
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:47.240
<v Speaker 2>like they did enough to establish some momentum that really

514
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:49.839
<v Speaker 2>wasn't awarded to them preseason. And again, it all matters

515
00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:51.400
<v Speaker 2>what you do when you actually get to games. But

516
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:53.599
<v Speaker 2>I feel like the ACC those that cover the league,

517
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:55.880
<v Speaker 2>they were looking for a team to prop up is

518
00:23:55.920 --> 00:23:58.079
<v Speaker 2>one that could take a big leap. SMU seemed like

519
00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:00.000
<v Speaker 2>a team people thought would really do well in this league,

520
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:02.279
<v Speaker 2>and so far that's not gotten off through a good start.

521
00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:04.799
<v Speaker 2>And then obviously I think Virginia Tech got a lot

522
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:06.359
<v Speaker 2>of love and then they went and lost to and Andy.

523
00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:09.200
<v Speaker 2>So I think Georgia Tech was a little more deserving

524
00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:10.480
<v Speaker 2>of it. I can't claim, hey, I told you so,

525
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:12.680
<v Speaker 2>because it took them. It took them beating Florida State

526
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:13.880
<v Speaker 2>for me to look at him and say, Okay, they

527
00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:16.119
<v Speaker 2>didn't lose back to back games at any point last year.

528
00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:19.359
<v Speaker 2>They had two ranked wins. They played Georgia within within

529
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:21.759
<v Speaker 2>a one possession there is one possession game of Georgia

530
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:23.440
<v Speaker 2>last year. And then, oh, by the way, let's look

531
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:25.599
<v Speaker 2>at Haynes King, who was one of just four quarterbacks

532
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:28.839
<v Speaker 2>last year to have twenty five or more touchdowns through

533
00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:31.359
<v Speaker 2>the air, ten or more on the ground. The other

534
00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:34.359
<v Speaker 2>guys that did that Jaden Daniels, Caleb Williams, Dylan Gabriels.

535
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:36.279
<v Speaker 2>So and then you mentioned Jamal Haynes who was one

536
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:37.960
<v Speaker 2>of the best running backs in the league last year.

537
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:40.119
<v Speaker 2>I think this team has talent, They have a good

538
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:42.559
<v Speaker 2>coaching staff. And before we get to the specific matchup,

539
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:45.160
<v Speaker 2>you've now covered britt Key. This is his second season

540
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:47.640
<v Speaker 2>and you covered him during his debut season a year ago.

541
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:50.839
<v Speaker 2>What do you think makes him you know the way

542
00:24:50.839 --> 00:24:52.839
<v Speaker 2>he is, because what would you say, what would you

543
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:55.039
<v Speaker 2>pinpoint makes him successful? Because I think he's got a

544
00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:57.559
<v Speaker 2>bright future even if it isn't in Georgia Tech. Maybe

545
00:24:57.599 --> 00:24:59.720
<v Speaker 2>he moves on down the line because he's that successful,

546
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:01.720
<v Speaker 2>but he seems to be a guy that has a

547
00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:04.960
<v Speaker 2>bright future. What would you pinpoint that really makes him

548
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:07.200
<v Speaker 2>that guy that you know, people think could be one

549
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:08.839
<v Speaker 2>of the better coaches in this game moving forward?

550
00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:12.519
<v Speaker 8>Well, He's been fortunate to come up under two great

551
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:15.400
<v Speaker 8>ones in Georgia Leary and Nick Saban. For those who

552
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:17.640
<v Speaker 8>don't know, Brent Key played at Georgia Tech. He was

553
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:21.039
<v Speaker 8>an offensive lineman in the nineties under Georgia Leary, then

554
00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:24.680
<v Speaker 8>followed George down to UCF and was it UCS for

555
00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:27.799
<v Speaker 8>about a decade before there was a transition down in

556
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:30.880
<v Speaker 8>Orlando and he was hired to Nick Saban's staff from

557
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:34.160
<v Speaker 8>twenty sixteen to twenty eighteen. So the guy has learned

558
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:36.359
<v Speaker 8>under two of the better college coaches of all time.

559
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:39.559
<v Speaker 8>I think that's number one, number two. I think he's

560
00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:44.160
<v Speaker 8>pretty good at self assessment and honest assessment and understanding that, hey,

561
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:47.759
<v Speaker 8>I did this wrong, I did this right. Where can

562
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:48.480
<v Speaker 8>I get better?

563
00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:49.480
<v Speaker 3>You know?

564
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:52.079
<v Speaker 8>He comes from that school of Nick Saban of constantly

565
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:55.839
<v Speaker 8>trying to get better, constantly trying to change things. I mean,

566
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:57.400
<v Speaker 8>you look at the defense. You know, he knew he

567
00:25:57.440 --> 00:25:59.440
<v Speaker 8>needed a new defensive coordinator and he went out and

568
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:02.920
<v Speaker 8>got one, and into this season he has learned how

569
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:06.799
<v Speaker 8>to navigate the transfer portal in terms of supplementing your

570
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:08.960
<v Speaker 8>roster and not changing it over a year and a

571
00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:12.200
<v Speaker 8>year out he studies NFL teams. He talks a lot

572
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:16.519
<v Speaker 8>about roster management and studying teams like the Detroit Lions

573
00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:18.880
<v Speaker 8>and the San Francisco forty nine ers and the Kansas

574
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:21.279
<v Speaker 8>City Chiefs in terms of how to build your roster,

575
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:24.240
<v Speaker 8>whether it's through the NFL Draft or free agency, or

576
00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:27.440
<v Speaker 8>whether it's college through recruiting and the transfer portal. So

577
00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:30.839
<v Speaker 8>I think he's pretty smart. He's pretty bright and understands

578
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.799
<v Speaker 8>that college football is an ever changing landscape, but he

579
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:36.359
<v Speaker 8>doesn't shy away from it, you know, he adapts. And

580
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:38.160
<v Speaker 8>then I think the other thing is is, you know,

581
00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:41.039
<v Speaker 8>we mentioned identity a little bit, like he wants to

582
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:43.960
<v Speaker 8>have a team that has an identity sort of ground

583
00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:46.960
<v Speaker 8>and pound three yards and a cloud of dust by

584
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:50.559
<v Speaker 8>the fourth quarter sort of identity tough and physical. Yeah,

585
00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:52.279
<v Speaker 8>they can spread the ball around a little bit, and

586
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:53.960
<v Speaker 8>they can throw it a little bit, put some points

587
00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:56.359
<v Speaker 8>on the board, but I think when they're really humming,

588
00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:59.160
<v Speaker 8>they're gonna be a real physical team that runs the

589
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:01.960
<v Speaker 8>ball down in, then down out. And I think that's

590
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.279
<v Speaker 8>what made him successful and I think that's what is

591
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:07.160
<v Speaker 8>going to continue to make him successful in the future.

592
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:09.920
<v Speaker 2>You actually answered my next question, which is going to

593
00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:11.799
<v Speaker 2>be what what would you how would you describe the

594
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:14.200
<v Speaker 2>identity as far as what he's aiming for? Is it

595
00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:16.480
<v Speaker 2>fair to also say that he's he's a coach that,

596
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:18.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, because a lot of every coach wants to

597
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:20.000
<v Speaker 2>be able to motivate their guys, give them that bulletin

598
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:23.640
<v Speaker 2>board material, really keep them at all times, you know,

599
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:26.279
<v Speaker 2>energized and ready to prove something. I get the sense

600
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:27.920
<v Speaker 2>that and he did it last year in his first season,

601
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:29.559
<v Speaker 2>and just some of the things that have been said

602
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:31.559
<v Speaker 2>so far about this matchup coming up between the Cards

603
00:27:31.559 --> 00:27:33.160
<v Speaker 2>and the Yellowjackets, I get the sense that he is

604
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:35.400
<v Speaker 2>a genuine coach, almost like Charlie Strong in a way

605
00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:37.160
<v Speaker 2>to where no matter what, he's going to find a

606
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:39.200
<v Speaker 2>way to have these guys fired up to go prove themselves,

607
00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:41.640
<v Speaker 2>even if nobody's really doubting them.

608
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:44.880
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, no doubt. I mean, Georgia Tech is five and

609
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:47.799
<v Speaker 8>zero against ranked teams and the ACC they love this

610
00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:52.519
<v Speaker 8>underdog thing. Frank, he loves this underdog mentality. He relates

611
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:54.599
<v Speaker 8>it to being a Georgia Tech person.

612
00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:54.960
<v Speaker 4>You know.

613
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:56.039
<v Speaker 3>Coming up makes sense.

614
00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:58.960
<v Speaker 8>The school, Yeah, how difficult he needs to go to

615
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:01.640
<v Speaker 8>school there? Now they're aallenge day day in and day

616
00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:05.079
<v Speaker 8>out academically, and he loves he loves that mantra. He

617
00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:08.400
<v Speaker 8>loves that narrative. It'll be curious to see, however, once

618
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:10.480
<v Speaker 8>Georgia Tech, if and when they, you know, make it

619
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:12.519
<v Speaker 8>to the top fifteen or top ten, if they're still

620
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:16.000
<v Speaker 8>able to hold this underdog mentality, because it already is

621
00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:18.000
<v Speaker 8>backfired a little bit this year being in the top

622
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:21.240
<v Speaker 8>twenty five and losing at Syracuse. But but yeah, I

623
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:23.359
<v Speaker 8>think he really relates to the players, I'm sure like

624
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:26.319
<v Speaker 8>Jeff Brahm does with his kids. Like I've walked this campus,

625
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:27.480
<v Speaker 8>I've been in these classrooms.

626
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:28.400
<v Speaker 3>I sure you're going.

627
00:28:28.279 --> 00:28:31.960
<v Speaker 8>Through And so I think he again, I go back

628
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:33.880
<v Speaker 8>to the word honesty, like I think he's a great

629
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:35.960
<v Speaker 8>coach in terms of being honest with guys like, look

630
00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:38.599
<v Speaker 8>you're not ready to play yet, or look you are,

631
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:40.039
<v Speaker 8>and we're going to throw you in there, whether you're

632
00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:43.079
<v Speaker 8>a freshman, whether you're a six year transfer. And I

633
00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:45.240
<v Speaker 8>think that's really appreciated by his kids as well.

634
00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Chad Bishop is our guest, joining us here on Sports

635
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Talk seven ninety. He covers Georgia Tech for the Atlanta

636
00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:54.279
<v Speaker 2>Journal Constitution. I mean generic question here, what do you

637
00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:55.720
<v Speaker 2>make of the matchup? I mean, it's hard to know

638
00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:57.799
<v Speaker 2>anything about Lousville. They've not been tested in any way.

639
00:28:58.039 --> 00:28:59.920
<v Speaker 2>You've seen this Georgia Tech team play a couple of

640
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:02.960
<v Speaker 2>AC opponents. They had a nice win against Georgia State,

641
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:06.400
<v Speaker 2>a nice bounce back win against was it VMI that

642
00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:10.039
<v Speaker 2>they just played? Yeah, so so, I mean again, we're

643
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:12.559
<v Speaker 2>going to find out where Louisville is on Saturday. They've

644
00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:15.519
<v Speaker 2>It's the rare late September game where you really don't

645
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:18.440
<v Speaker 2>mean I think fans here in town feel good about

646
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:20.519
<v Speaker 2>their team coming off of a special season, and they

647
00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:22.640
<v Speaker 2>bring back some good players from that special season, but

648
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:24.480
<v Speaker 2>obviously a lot of portal guys as well, and they

649
00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:26.400
<v Speaker 2>looked good in the first two games. They just happened

650
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:29.119
<v Speaker 2>to come against teams Dame, Jacksonville State and Austin p

651
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:31.559
<v Speaker 2>What do you, at least at this point expect to

652
00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:34.240
<v Speaker 2>potentially maybe give Georgia Tech some problems in this matchup

653
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:35.279
<v Speaker 2>from the Louisville side of things.

654
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:38.240
<v Speaker 8>Well, I like the phrase you use find out. It's

655
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:39.279
<v Speaker 8>a find out game for.

656
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:41.400
<v Speaker 3>Me, right, Like, we're going to find out if first

657
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:43.400
<v Speaker 3>test is good. Yeah, We're going to.

658
00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:46.039
<v Speaker 8>Find out if they're as good as those first two scores,

659
00:29:46.119 --> 00:29:48.240
<v Speaker 8>you know, if they can do it against an ACC team.

660
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:50.839
<v Speaker 8>We're going to find out if this Georgia Tech team

661
00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:53.759
<v Speaker 8>has fixed their defense, because it was pretty good against

662
00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:56.200
<v Speaker 8>Florida State and Georgia State, but they went back to

663
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:59.039
<v Speaker 8>their old ways against Syracuse. The same defense we saw

664
00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:02.079
<v Speaker 8>in twenty twenty three that couldn't stop the pass, couldn't

665
00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:04.359
<v Speaker 8>get off the field on third down, gave up a

666
00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:06.640
<v Speaker 8>lot of red zone scores, and now you're going to

667
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:09.319
<v Speaker 8>get the high powered offense at Louisville. So which team,

668
00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:11.960
<v Speaker 8>you know, is going to prove to their fans that

669
00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:15.160
<v Speaker 8>hey we've changed, or hey we are as good as

670
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:17.119
<v Speaker 8>you think we are and as we think we are.

671
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:19.880
<v Speaker 8>You know, Georgia Tech. They you know, some people have

672
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:21.720
<v Speaker 8>thrown around the word special for this team, that they

673
00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:24.079
<v Speaker 8>could have a special season. Well you've got to go

674
00:30:24.119 --> 00:30:26.519
<v Speaker 8>on the road and win these matchups against ranked teams.

675
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:28.920
<v Speaker 8>So that would be a huge proving point for them

676
00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:30.960
<v Speaker 8>to say, hey, we are going to be player in

677
00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:34.200
<v Speaker 8>this ACC title race despite the loss at Louisville, excuse

678
00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:36.200
<v Speaker 8>me at Syracuse And then on the flip side, right

679
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:39.039
<v Speaker 8>like if you're Louisville, you're saying, yeah, we hadn't played anybody,

680
00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:41.000
<v Speaker 8>but it doesn't matter. We're still this good and we're

681
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:42.319
<v Speaker 8>still going to put up a ton of points and

682
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:44.759
<v Speaker 8>be a good Georgia Tech team. So it's a it's

683
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:47.519
<v Speaker 8>a very intriguing matchup between what I think is you know,

684
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:52.680
<v Speaker 8>outstanding offense from Louisville and Georgia Tech defense that is suspect.

685
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:54.440
<v Speaker 8>And until they can prove to me that they can

686
00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:57.319
<v Speaker 8>stop anybody, that'll be what I'm watching for on Saturday.

687
00:30:57.319 --> 00:31:00.079
<v Speaker 8>Can they show up and stop this big time Louisville.

688
00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:03.119
<v Speaker 2>Offense because Q has only played two games, just like

689
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Louisville has, and it was an impressive showing against Georgia Tech,

690
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:08.880
<v Speaker 2>and then they took care of business against Ohio.

691
00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:10.319
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's tough to know.

692
00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:11.960
<v Speaker 2>I think you're gonna see a little more about who

693
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Syracuse is in their matchup coming up on Friday when

694
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:15.079
<v Speaker 2>they take on Stanford.

695
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:16.440
<v Speaker 3>But I know you watched the game.

696
00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:18.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean I kind of felt like that was more

697
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:20.960
<v Speaker 2>about Syracuse being a team that everybody should look out

698
00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:23.000
<v Speaker 2>for in the ACC more than it meaning that maybe

699
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Georgia Tech's win against Florida State was maybe not as valid.

700
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:28.920
<v Speaker 2>And again Florida State continues to make that loss. That

701
00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:31.240
<v Speaker 2>win for Georgia Tech not look as good. But you know,

702
00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:34.079
<v Speaker 2>the defense again they gave up thirty one to Syracuse.

703
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:35.599
<v Speaker 2>But I just have a feeling just in that game.

704
00:31:35.640 --> 00:31:37.799
<v Speaker 2>And again it's small sample size. I think Syracuse may

705
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:39.640
<v Speaker 2>be putting up some points this year against a lot

706
00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:40.039
<v Speaker 2>of teams.

707
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:42.960
<v Speaker 8>I think there were a couple of factors at play.

708
00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:46.000
<v Speaker 8>First of all, you're right, props to Syracuse, man. They

709
00:31:46.119 --> 00:31:49.480
<v Speaker 8>had an outstanding game plan. McCord hit pretty much every

710
00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:52.359
<v Speaker 8>pass he threw, and the tight windows his wide receivers

711
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:55.759
<v Speaker 8>made out standing catches. Rondy Gatson had a monster game

712
00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:58.640
<v Speaker 8>at tight end. They were motivated, you know. The coach

713
00:31:58.680 --> 00:32:01.680
<v Speaker 8>fran Brown sort of made this mountain out of a

714
00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:04.440
<v Speaker 8>mole hill, taking Brent Key's words and sort of twist

715
00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:06.839
<v Speaker 8>him around, sort old school Michael Jordan like, I'm just

716
00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:09.759
<v Speaker 8>we're disrespected. I can't believe they said that, And even

717
00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:12.720
<v Speaker 8>Brent Key this week, I don't remember saying anything. I'm

718
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:14.359
<v Speaker 8>not quite sure what you guys are talking about.

719
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Not only that, he made it personal too, which again,

720
00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:19.160
<v Speaker 2>anything to get an edge but yeah, it was his

721
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:21.880
<v Speaker 2>reaction after that was kind of puzzling to me because

722
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:23.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, and again, if you're gonna do that with

723
00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:25.240
<v Speaker 2>your team, that's one thing, but to then take it

724
00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:27.960
<v Speaker 2>to the podium just seemed odd misplaced energy.

725
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:30.440
<v Speaker 3>Is what I was what I felt it did.

726
00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:33.640
<v Speaker 8>So but again, you know, props for Syracuse for doing

727
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:35.759
<v Speaker 8>it that way. The other thing that I thought a

728
00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:38.640
<v Speaker 8>lot about, and this is nothing that you know, Georgia

729
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:40.920
<v Speaker 8>Tech has said, and they would certainly never make excuses,

730
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:44.359
<v Speaker 8>but from from an outsider's perspective, you know, Tech had

731
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:45.880
<v Speaker 8>to go all the way to Dublin and back. They

732
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:48.839
<v Speaker 8>had a home opener against an insant rivalry at eight

733
00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:51.319
<v Speaker 8>pm the following week. Then they had to get back

734
00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:53.039
<v Speaker 8>on the plane and go up to Syracuse, New York

735
00:32:53.079 --> 00:32:56.039
<v Speaker 8>for a noon kickoff against a team who hadn't left

736
00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:56.720
<v Speaker 8>its campus.

737
00:32:57.200 --> 00:32:58.440
<v Speaker 3>And you could just.

738
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:00.920
<v Speaker 8>Sort of tell Georgia Tech came out flat, looked like

739
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:03.680
<v Speaker 8>they were walking through quicksand a little bit. They turned

740
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:05.599
<v Speaker 8>it on in the fourth quarter with fourteen points to

741
00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:08.079
<v Speaker 8>make it a game. But but I do think the

742
00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:10.279
<v Speaker 8>sort of the wear and tear of a long July

743
00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:14.079
<v Speaker 8>August preseason camp coupled with a lot of travel had

744
00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:16.039
<v Speaker 8>them a little bit flat early on in that game.

745
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:18.960
<v Speaker 8>So all those factors combined I think led to the loss.

746
00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:21.680
<v Speaker 8>But yeah, you're right about Syracuse. I mean, we'll find

747
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:23.480
<v Speaker 8>out more about them. They look like a team that

748
00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:26.559
<v Speaker 8>has some talent and has some pieces. It's you know,

749
00:33:26.680 --> 00:33:28.359
<v Speaker 8>you know how it is, man, It's sure, Hember, we

750
00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:32.240
<v Speaker 8>all think we know, we don't know, but again, Saturday

751
00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:33.960
<v Speaker 8>is the day that we will start to find out

752
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:34.359
<v Speaker 8>for sure.

753
00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

754
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:37.559
<v Speaker 2>And I think, you know, just hearing from Haines King

755
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:40.960
<v Speaker 2>on the ACC Network, also listening to to coach Keys

756
00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:44.720
<v Speaker 2>press conference earlier, I mean, I'm sure he emphasizes every game,

757
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:46.839
<v Speaker 2>especially conference games, is having a lot of importance. I

758
00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:48.960
<v Speaker 2>don't want to act as if they're dressing this level

759
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:51.119
<v Speaker 2>matchup as a chance to go shock the world, because

760
00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:53.720
<v Speaker 2>that's not really what it is. However, you know, these guys,

761
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:55.319
<v Speaker 2>I know they all say let's take it one day

762
00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:57.039
<v Speaker 2>at a time, but they're humans. They know what the

763
00:33:57.039 --> 00:33:59.279
<v Speaker 2>schedule looks like. And if you look at Georgia Tech's schedule,

764
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:01.640
<v Speaker 2>even if the little end up being a team that

765
00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:03.680
<v Speaker 2>is you know, borderline top twenty, which is where they

766
00:34:03.720 --> 00:34:07.240
<v Speaker 2>are right now. I mean it's still more it's probably

767
00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:09.440
<v Speaker 2>viewed as a better chance to win than some of

768
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:11.199
<v Speaker 2>the other games. I mean, you've already played Florida State,

769
00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:13.440
<v Speaker 2>knock them off, but you also still have to go

770
00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:15.320
<v Speaker 2>play Notre Dame, You've got to play Miami. You have

771
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:17.719
<v Speaker 2>Georgia again, You've got NC State, who still could end

772
00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:19.760
<v Speaker 2>up being pretty good. Like if I'm Georgia Tech, I

773
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:22.280
<v Speaker 2>look at this it is one of the not rare

774
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:24.559
<v Speaker 2>opportunities to get a win left on the schedule. But

775
00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:26.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, if you want to have a good season

776
00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:28.320
<v Speaker 2>that is not just Bowl eligible, but maybe you know,

777
00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:30.119
<v Speaker 2>eight wins, I mean you look at this as a

778
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:32.199
<v Speaker 2>big is a big chance because and that's not to say,

779
00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:33.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, Louisville is one of the worst team we're

780
00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:35.119
<v Speaker 2>gonna play, we better go win. But you know, you

781
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:36.559
<v Speaker 2>got Georgia, you got Miami.

782
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:40.079
<v Speaker 8>That's how I looked at this thing going in is

783
00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:42.480
<v Speaker 8>Georgia Tech is going to reach that next level of

784
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:45.239
<v Speaker 8>eight and nine wins. They have to win the so

785
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:48.599
<v Speaker 8>called you know, fifty to fifty toss up games. So

786
00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:51.400
<v Speaker 8>they've already lost one of them, not Syracuse in my mind,

787
00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:54.000
<v Speaker 8>but you know they beat Florida State, which on paper

788
00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:55.599
<v Speaker 8>was a game they were supposed to lose, So they

789
00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:59.400
<v Speaker 8>sort of split those first couple of opportunities. Duke North

790
00:34:59.400 --> 00:35:02.880
<v Speaker 8>Carolina looking at the game at Virginia Tech, and like

791
00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:05.440
<v Speaker 8>you mentioned Saturday, are games that on paper, Georgia Tech

792
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:07.119
<v Speaker 8>should be in in the fourth quarter and has a

793
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:09.960
<v Speaker 8>chance to steal a win. You don't expect them to

794
00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:12.800
<v Speaker 8>beat a notre dame, not necessarily, don't expect them maybe

795
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:16.480
<v Speaker 8>to beat Miami, who's looking like their world beaters right now,

796
00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:19.360
<v Speaker 8>and you don't expect them, honestly to go on the

797
00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:21.559
<v Speaker 8>road and beat Georgia at year's end. So you have

798
00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:24.079
<v Speaker 8>to get some of these games where the matchup is

799
00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:26.440
<v Speaker 8>a little bit more favorable, maybe a little bit more even,

800
00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:28.840
<v Speaker 8>where you have a chance again in the fourth quarter

801
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:31.039
<v Speaker 8>to get it done. So yeah, again, like you said,

802
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:33.199
<v Speaker 8>Georgia Tech's not looking down the road saying, hey, we

803
00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:34.440
<v Speaker 8>got to get this one, because we're not going to

804
00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:36.199
<v Speaker 8>get this one. But you're right, this is a game

805
00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:40.079
<v Speaker 8>I'm sure they're confident about. They're refocused, the retooled, they're

806
00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:43.079
<v Speaker 8>refreshed coming off that fifty nine to seven win over

807
00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:45.199
<v Speaker 8>VMI where they rested a ton of starters in the

808
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:47.440
<v Speaker 8>second half, and I'm sure they know in the back

809
00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:49.599
<v Speaker 8>of the mind that, hey, you already got one loss

810
00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:52.000
<v Speaker 8>in conference play, you can't afford another, so you got

811
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:53.280
<v Speaker 8>to go get this one on Saturday.

812
00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:54.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

813
00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:57.000
<v Speaker 2>I actually think from the Louisville side, you should be

814
00:35:57.280 --> 00:35:58.800
<v Speaker 2>not that you should ever take them lightly, but I

815
00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:00.800
<v Speaker 2>think them losing to Q is going to have them

816
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:02.920
<v Speaker 2>even more keyed up for this game. No pun intended,

817
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:05.320
<v Speaker 2>because obviously you know you've already lost one of those

818
00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:07.480
<v Speaker 2>fifty fifty games as you mentioned, So yeah, should be

819
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:09.280
<v Speaker 2>a good matchup. Last question I've got for you chat.

820
00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:10.800
<v Speaker 2>I know you spent a lot of time here in

821
00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:13.559
<v Speaker 2>the state of Kentucky throughout your career. What do you

822
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:16.119
<v Speaker 2>miss the most, if anything, about this this fine place

823
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:16.960
<v Speaker 2>we call Kentucky.

824
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:22.119
<v Speaker 8>You know, I would say the accessibility to Bourbon.

825
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:23.679
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that's a good answer.

826
00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:26.639
<v Speaker 8>Not that not that it's hard to find in Atlanta

827
00:36:26.679 --> 00:36:29.519
<v Speaker 8>by any means, but you know, it's funny, like I

828
00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:31.960
<v Speaker 8>tell people, you know, I think I hit the Bourbon

829
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:35.880
<v Speaker 8>trail back and maybe I don't know, eleven, twelve, thirteen,

830
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:38.039
<v Speaker 8>before bourbon became a thing.

831
00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:39.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, before the big boom.

832
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:40.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

833
00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:43.159
<v Speaker 8>I went to Willett and Makers and heaven Hill, and

834
00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:46.000
<v Speaker 8>you know, it was so fun and I was into it,

835
00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:47.800
<v Speaker 8>and man, I wish I would have known then what

836
00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:49.840
<v Speaker 8>I know now. Are have been scooping up bottles left

837
00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:51.719
<v Speaker 8>and right, and so I'm excited to get to the

838
00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:54.280
<v Speaker 8>liquor barns of the world. There we go and hit

839
00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:56.440
<v Speaker 8>some places and pick up some bottles that maybe you

840
00:36:56.480 --> 00:36:59.280
<v Speaker 8>can't find down here in Atlanta. And then, you know,

841
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:01.639
<v Speaker 8>I'll say, the people, man, I love the people of Kentucky.

842
00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:03.159
<v Speaker 8>You know, my father in law and my mother in

843
00:37:03.239 --> 00:37:05.199
<v Speaker 8>law live up there and still got a ton of

844
00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:07.880
<v Speaker 8>friends in the Bowling Green area and the Louisville area,

845
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:10.880
<v Speaker 8>and everybody's always so nice up in the Bluegrass. So

846
00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:12.639
<v Speaker 8>looking forward to getting back up there for the weekend.

847
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Good stuff, Chad. Great to catch up with you, man.

848
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:16.639
<v Speaker 2>Keep up your great work and we will talk soon

849
00:37:16.679 --> 00:37:17.440
<v Speaker 2>down the line, my man.

850
00:37:18.079 --> 00:37:19.400
<v Speaker 3>All right, no, man, see you take care.

851
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:22.159
<v Speaker 2>That's Chad Bishop of the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Good stuff there.

852
00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:23.599
<v Speaker 2>We got to run quick break. We'll come back and

853
00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:24.440
<v Speaker 2>tell you goodbye.

854
00:37:26.440 --> 00:37:26.760
<v Speaker 3>All right.

855
00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:29.559
<v Speaker 2>We are wrapping up a busy, hectic show that I

856
00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:31.599
<v Speaker 2>feel like went by insanely fast.

857
00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:32.159
<v Speaker 3>That happens.

858
00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:36.840
<v Speaker 2>You know what they say, time flies when you're having fun, right, eh,

859
00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:39.199
<v Speaker 2>I'll use the very little time I have left for

860
00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:41.000
<v Speaker 2>something very important, and that is to remind you once

861
00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:44.840
<v Speaker 2>again about the Jefferson Animal Hospital and how important it

862
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:47.760
<v Speaker 2>is to donate blood, not just yourself, you know that,

863
00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:51.159
<v Speaker 2>but for pets. So your dog or cat can donate

864
00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:53.760
<v Speaker 2>blood just like we can. If your dog is over

865
00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:55.760
<v Speaker 2>fifty pounds or your cat is at least ten pounds,

866
00:37:55.800 --> 00:37:57.840
<v Speaker 2>they may qualify to be a pet blood donor, where

867
00:37:57.880 --> 00:37:59.920
<v Speaker 2>every donation can save up to four to six live

868
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:02.440
<v Speaker 2>and there's also other benefits by your pet becoming a

869
00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:06.199
<v Speaker 2>blood donor, including regular examinations, blood work, vaccines, all of

870
00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:09.079
<v Speaker 2>that done at the Jefferson Animal Hospital on Outer Loop.

871
00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:11.960
<v Speaker 2>We appreciate those folks over there at Jefferson Animal Hospital.

872
00:38:11.960 --> 00:38:14.920
<v Speaker 2>Also had a good conversation earlier about them with their team.

873
00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:16.639
<v Speaker 2>If you missed it, make sure you check out the podcast.

874
00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:18.199
<v Speaker 2>But you can get more information on how your dog

875
00:38:18.280 --> 00:38:20.119
<v Speaker 2>or cat can become a pet blood donor by calling

<v Speaker 2>dot com.

878
00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:26.199
<v Speaker 3>All right, that's it.

879
00:38:26.559 --> 00:38:30.519
<v Speaker 2>We've concluded the two days where there's no football, and

880
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:33.679
<v Speaker 2>we come back tomorrow. We got some college football action.

881
00:38:33.800 --> 00:38:36.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited about. We got Thursday night football in the NFL.

882
00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:40.519
<v Speaker 2>I love it, man, and I'm probably doing I'm probably

883
00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:42.880
<v Speaker 2>overdoing it as far as just, you know, emphasizing how

884
00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:46.920
<v Speaker 2>much I love football season. But you know what, it's

885
00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:49.199
<v Speaker 2>just the truth. Life's better when football season's going on.

886
00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:50.760
<v Speaker 2>At least that's the way I see it. So you

887
00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:52.199
<v Speaker 2>guys have a good night. We're back at it tomorrow,

888
