00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:13.279
<v Speaker 1>It's time for Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day, now Here's Nick Coffee.

3
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I haven't seen a whole lot of reaction from Louisville

4
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:35.759
<v Speaker 2>fans in regards to Notre Dame making it all the

5
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:38.840
<v Speaker 2>way to the National Championship game, knowing Louisville really went

6
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.119
<v Speaker 2>there and lost by a scorer in a game that

7
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:45.520
<v Speaker 2>they just gifted Notre Dame. Not necessarily the game itself,

8
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:49.000
<v Speaker 2>but Louisville did everything you could to lose that game,

9
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:50.679
<v Speaker 2>and it's really crazy that it was as close as

10
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:52.719
<v Speaker 2>it was, knowing how good we now know that Notre

11
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Dame is. But I think I went through that after

12
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.359
<v Speaker 2>the Georgia game, right like I think last night, seeing

13
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:00.119
<v Speaker 2>them come out and beat Penn State and get all

14
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 2>the way here, it just seemed as if some of

15
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:04.359
<v Speaker 2>the louis of fans that I that I follow on

16
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:05.959
<v Speaker 2>social media, and then some fans that I talk to

17
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:07.760
<v Speaker 2>that I'm friends with, I feel like they kind of

18
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 2>had the damn we like we should have beat them,

19
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.359
<v Speaker 2>and they're maybe gonna win the whole thing. And that

20
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.879
<v Speaker 2>can make you feel one of two different ways that

21
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.840
<v Speaker 2>this was truly the what could have been here? Or wow,

22
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, we aren't that far off that kind of thing.

23
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.159
<v Speaker 2>I guess it really depends on whatever perspective you have.

24
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:31.879
<v Speaker 2>But for me, I Notre Dame game this past year

25
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:37.560
<v Speaker 2>was just one of the weirdest, most unusual feelings I

26
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 2>had as a fan because I had no clue how

27
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:45.040
<v Speaker 2>to feel. Meaning more than anything, I was frustrated, but

28
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:46.680
<v Speaker 2>I was also thinking, like, man, if you can go

29
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.319
<v Speaker 2>there and have that many mistakes that are really just

30
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.680
<v Speaker 2>you making a bad decision or you having bad luck,

31
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.400
<v Speaker 2>or you getting you know, being the victim of a

32
00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:00.560
<v Speaker 2>really bad silly call like the double pass interference, I

33
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.319
<v Speaker 2>was ready to say, Okay, well that sucks, like I

34
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 2>think that's gonna hurt because Notre Dame if they end

35
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:06.599
<v Speaker 2>up being good, like I feel like Louisville was right

36
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.120
<v Speaker 2>there and was as good, especially on that day, even

37
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:13.319
<v Speaker 2>though they lost. But then they started losing more games

38
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.520
<v Speaker 2>like the SMU Miami. So but here we are. Louisll

39
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:18.639
<v Speaker 2>ended up I think, finishing pretty strong, and clearly they

40
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.639
<v Speaker 2>were vulnerable at times and they nearly lost the bowl game.

41
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.800
<v Speaker 2>But I think when this team was playing well offensively

42
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 2>and they really did throughout the majority of the season.

43
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:27.639
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I.

44
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Would take this offense against a lot of teams. Now,

45
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:33.199
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't mean that they would win, because their defense

46
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.400
<v Speaker 2>wasn't quite as good and at times their defense became.

47
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:36.800
<v Speaker 3>A real, real liability.

48
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:40.039
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, it kind of seems as if realizing a

49
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:43.360
<v Speaker 2>team playing for the national championship this year is a

50
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.240
<v Speaker 2>team that you realize you could have eliminated a couple

51
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.159
<v Speaker 2>of mistakes and maybe won that thing by a touchdown.

52
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:49.840
<v Speaker 2>And look, I'm sure a lot of teams can go

53
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.159
<v Speaker 2>back and say the same thing about many games. But

54
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.520
<v Speaker 2>for me, I just Louisville kept making goof after goof

55
00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 2>that you just like can't do and expect to beat

56
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.599
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame at their place even when they're not elite.

57
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:05.800
<v Speaker 2>And yet Louisville did all that and yet still had

58
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.479
<v Speaker 2>a chance late to win it. I mean the amount

59
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:13.439
<v Speaker 2>of just I mean Jeff's fourth and short calls, the

60
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.560
<v Speaker 2>spots that we got on some of those fourth and

61
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:20.120
<v Speaker 2>third down runs, the bobbled pass, the rare bobbled ball,

62
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.199
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of Cory Brooks that they took the other way,

63
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.240
<v Speaker 2>the rare Tyler shuck fifty yard run that ended up

64
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.840
<v Speaker 2>in him, coughing the ball up, snapping the ball over

65
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:32.520
<v Speaker 2>the punter's head, getting the delay of game late there

66
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.560
<v Speaker 2>with the chance to win it with the ball, like

67
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:37.560
<v Speaker 2>all those things. I mean, you take away two of those,

68
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:41.560
<v Speaker 2>it's a different ballgame. So you know, I'm optimistic about

69
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Louisville because I think there's a good chance this offense

70
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:49.000
<v Speaker 2>next year is as good as any offense we've had

71
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 2>around here in a long time. We'll never have a

72
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:56.039
<v Speaker 2>guy out there making plays like Lamar Jackson because no

73
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:57.719
<v Speaker 2>other person exists and.

74
00:03:57.639 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 3>Will probably ever exist, that's how special he was.

75
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.840
<v Speaker 2>But when it comes to just a high powered offense

76
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:05.280
<v Speaker 2>that's going to have a quarterback that you feel good about,

77
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Miller Moss certainly, he's got some really good weapons. When

78
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 2>it comes to the receivers, Colin Lacey, a full season

79
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 2>of healthy Colin Lacey could be dangerous.

80
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:16.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm getting I'm getting.

81
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.279
<v Speaker 2>What's his name, the guy who played at Trinity and

82
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 2>then Purdue for Jeff, I'm getting Randell Moore Vibes. That's

83
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.879
<v Speaker 2>his name, right, Rondell Moore. I'm blanking on his name.

84
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:27.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's how Colin Lacy could be utilized. I mean,

85
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:29.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to get everybody's hope, so but like

86
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 2>that's the kind of player that he is. Maybe not

87
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.000
<v Speaker 2>that talented, but like Jeff could certainly utilize Colin the

88
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.439
<v Speaker 2>way he did Rondell. And then I think Chris Bell,

89
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.199
<v Speaker 2>as I mentioned throughout the last few weeks, I think

90
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:40.480
<v Speaker 2>he really finished so strong that it's I think it's

91
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.160
<v Speaker 2>accurate say he had a breakout season for Louisville, and

92
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.680
<v Speaker 2>then you throwing those two freshman running backs that were sensational,

93
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:47.519
<v Speaker 2>and then you get Kewan Brown coming back. I mean,

94
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:50.759
<v Speaker 2>I really think this Louisville team next year, from an

95
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:55.560
<v Speaker 2>offensive standpoint, could have some real firepower, which doesn't have

96
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:58.319
<v Speaker 2>anything to do with the defense. But kind of looking

97
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:00.279
<v Speaker 2>at next year's team, as far as we're they are

98
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:05.439
<v Speaker 2>right now on offense and on defense, they're probably not

99
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.439
<v Speaker 2>gonna be I mean, I still think you've got some

100
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:08.360
<v Speaker 2>good players coming back.

101
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:10.120
<v Speaker 3>I think that they've done pretty well in the portal.

102
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm not worried about Louisville's defense being so weak in

103
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:18.480
<v Speaker 2>regards to talent and depth that like we're just gonna

104
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:22.680
<v Speaker 2>get crushed defensively. But if they do, I'm gonna blame

105
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 2>it on Ron English like I hate to be like

106
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:28.680
<v Speaker 2>this is I guess just how I'm wired. I'm excited

107
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.319
<v Speaker 2>about next year in a major way. I think Louislle

108
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:37.240
<v Speaker 2>will have enough talent, and I think Jeff especially on offense,

109
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>like this team could.

110
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:38.399
<v Speaker 3>Be really good.

111
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.680
<v Speaker 2>But I'm already worried that You're gonna end up finding

112
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.519
<v Speaker 2>yourself in spots like you did this year, including just

113
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:46.240
<v Speaker 2>the last game you played a couple of weeks ago

114
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:51.480
<v Speaker 2>where you were lucky to win. And sometimes that's how

115
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:53.600
<v Speaker 2>it works, right, you can claim, yeah, we were lucky

116
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.639
<v Speaker 2>to get out of there live, and you know, sometimes

117
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:56.959
<v Speaker 2>you get some breaks to go your way. I don't

118
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.160
<v Speaker 2>want to take anything away from Antonio Watts, who made

119
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.680
<v Speaker 2>that great play to to keep Washington from getting that

120
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:04.439
<v Speaker 2>two point conversion and ending it.

121
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:07.759
<v Speaker 3>But I just to go back to that postgame show.

122
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:11.480
<v Speaker 2>I just I worry that Louisville is gonna have a

123
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:16.959
<v Speaker 2>season where we look at this team offensively and feel like, man,

124
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:19.519
<v Speaker 2>like we could score with anybody. The defense doesn't need

125
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:20.720
<v Speaker 2>to be elite. They just need to be able to

126
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:24.720
<v Speaker 2>be consistent and be solid. And if next year they're

127
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.600
<v Speaker 2>not that, here's the facts of the matter. If they're

128
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.560
<v Speaker 2>not that next year, it could be that they just

129
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.920
<v Speaker 2>didn't do well enough in the portal and that they

130
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:38.160
<v Speaker 2>lost some good players and it's I guess, rebuilding whatever.

131
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:42.560
<v Speaker 2>But I'm gonna blame it on Ron English because I

132
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:45.360
<v Speaker 2>feel like in the first two years Louisville's defense when

133
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:47.199
<v Speaker 2>it was and again this is unfair to him, but

134
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.160
<v Speaker 2>it's just how I see it. When the defense was

135
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:53.040
<v Speaker 2>playing really well, he certainly deserves credit for that because

136
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:55.240
<v Speaker 2>he's leading the defense, he's in charge. But I think

137
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.639
<v Speaker 2>it was more so based off the talent that they have,

138
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.560
<v Speaker 2>the ability, the guys they had. And then this year

139
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.120
<v Speaker 2>when the defense was underwhelming, I still think it was

140
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:05.639
<v Speaker 2>mostly due to the coach. I think it was I think,

141
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:07.680
<v Speaker 2>and he really put his foot in his mouth whenever

142
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.199
<v Speaker 2>he said last year when the things fell apart, that

143
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:13.680
<v Speaker 2>you want to blame somebody, blame me. Well, we did,

144
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:18.519
<v Speaker 2>and that's why the next year, whenever Louisville this meeting

145
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.519
<v Speaker 2>this past season, defense was unorganized. At times, you had

146
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:24.319
<v Speaker 2>too many men on the field. The body language was

147
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:26.399
<v Speaker 2>quite clear that nobody was on the same page. Like

148
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:28.600
<v Speaker 2>to me, that's the guy coaching leading, that's the guy

149
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.079
<v Speaker 2>that's organizing this and for him to come out and

150
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.560
<v Speaker 2>say that they thought that because they added a bunch

151
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:36.279
<v Speaker 2>of guys who've played a lot of football from the portal,

152
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:39.480
<v Speaker 2>they'd be able to really have it a pretty advanced

153
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.920
<v Speaker 2>strategy defensively, and then he said, well, we thought they'd

154
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.120
<v Speaker 2>have better football documen. Like that's the guy throwing players

155
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.560
<v Speaker 2>under the bus, so he's clearly going to be back.

156
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:48.720
<v Speaker 2>I feel like they were going to make a move.

157
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:50.639
<v Speaker 2>They already would have done it, So we'll see. But

158
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:55.439
<v Speaker 2>I just worry that if Louisville next year is really

159
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.199
<v Speaker 2>good offensively, but they find themselves sweating it out and

160
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:02.360
<v Speaker 2>maybe losing a game or two because the defense couldn't

161
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:05.360
<v Speaker 2>couldn't do their their part. I mean it's gonna be

162
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Jeff's fault because I think it's been shown in two

163
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.920
<v Speaker 2>years that not that you have the worst defensive coordinator,

164
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:16.199
<v Speaker 2>but I think what would be the harm in mixing

165
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.079
<v Speaker 2>it up and going and getting somebody else, because it

166
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:23.199
<v Speaker 2>would be unfair and inaccurate to say whoever you get

167
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.600
<v Speaker 2>will be better than him, because it's not that. But

168
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:30.000
<v Speaker 2>I just think this year, when they were struggling and

169
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.919
<v Speaker 2>you had guys arm tackling and you had the miscommunication

170
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:36.039
<v Speaker 2>when you you know, I don't know how anybody would

171
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:38.759
<v Speaker 2>view that as more so a coaching thing than a

172
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.080
<v Speaker 2>player thing. And when when that's evident, I just think,

173
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.120
<v Speaker 2>you you know, you wouldn't want to put yourself on

174
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:45.600
<v Speaker 2>that spot to where here we go again. We've got

175
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:47.480
<v Speaker 2>an offense that's got to score forty five points. It

176
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:50.320
<v Speaker 2>won't lose anybody. And that happened this year at times.

177
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.000
<v Speaker 2>And it's not to say they didn't bail you out,

178
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.600
<v Speaker 2>because look, against Kentucky they played really good. Against Clemson,

179
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.279
<v Speaker 2>they played really good, and Ron English gets credit for

180
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:00.879
<v Speaker 2>that for sure, But I also think when the success

181
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.799
<v Speaker 2>was happening, and again this is just you can always

182
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:05.799
<v Speaker 2>just pick whatever you want, right Like, when there's really

183
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:07.919
<v Speaker 2>good stuff going on, do you think it's more so

184
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.200
<v Speaker 2>due to the players of the coach. And we'll never know,

185
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:12.440
<v Speaker 2>like we'll never we'll never there's never going to be

186
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:16.240
<v Speaker 2>an exact way to determine how much success or failure

187
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.480
<v Speaker 2>was due to more player or coach. But Ron English

188
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.559
<v Speaker 2>has never been a good defensive coach elsewhere. That's why

189
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:26.320
<v Speaker 2>I kind of like, you know, I guess maybe back

190
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.519
<v Speaker 2>at Michigan. But we're talking like the Roy Carr days

191
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:34.120
<v Speaker 2>back in mid two thousands, roughly twenty years ago. All right,

192
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:35.879
<v Speaker 2>it's coffee and company. We are feel about Thorton's here

193
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:37.879
<v Speaker 2>on Sports Talk seven to ninety. Appreciate you hanging out

194
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.039
<v Speaker 2>with us. We'll get into the NFL playoffs coming up

195
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:41.840
<v Speaker 2>here before too long, but we have a big college

196
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.440
<v Speaker 2>basketball weekend for everybody. College basketball is now in full

197
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.600
<v Speaker 2>swing with every I mean every weekend. You get in

198
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:53.240
<v Speaker 2>a ton of conference matchups throughout the week, same thing.

199
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:54.919
<v Speaker 2>And Louisville is off to a really good start here

200
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:57.320
<v Speaker 2>in the ACC, and I don't even think it's close.

201
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:59.759
<v Speaker 2>I think this game against Pitt is the toughest game

202
00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:03.159
<v Speaker 2>they have left on the schedule, and they could play

203
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:05.039
<v Speaker 2>well and lose, because that's how much I think Pitt

204
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:07.960
<v Speaker 2>is good. And Pitt has probably more momentum than they've

205
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.360
<v Speaker 2>had in a long time, so it'll be a tough challenge.

206
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:15.200
<v Speaker 2>But I think it's also safe to say that Louisville

207
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.559
<v Speaker 2>has more momentum right now than they've had at any

208
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:21.000
<v Speaker 2>point this season under Pat Kelsey. Maybe during the Bahamas,

209
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:25.240
<v Speaker 2>right when they were still healthier and they beat Indiana bad,

210
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:27.720
<v Speaker 2>and then they've got that overtime winn against West Virginia

211
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:29.960
<v Speaker 2>heading into that Oklahoma game that kind of felt.

212
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:32.559
<v Speaker 3>Like real big, like wow, here we are, here we go.

213
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:35.279
<v Speaker 2>And then after that, of course there were injuries, there

214
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:37.600
<v Speaker 2>were some losses to you know, good teams. Of course

215
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.000
<v Speaker 2>there were the close wins against Utap and Eku. But

216
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:44.399
<v Speaker 2>since the Carolina game, this team is really just played

217
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:48.159
<v Speaker 2>good basketball. They just look like a really really good team.

218
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Not because you know they're elite and talent, but they've

219
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:53.480
<v Speaker 2>got enough and these guys play hard, they're physical, they

220
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:56.240
<v Speaker 2>play really good defensively. I mean, I just I know

221
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:58.679
<v Speaker 2>I selling a broken record, but the way they played

222
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:02.159
<v Speaker 2>these last few games. Chalk it up to the ACC

223
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:05.480
<v Speaker 2>being way down. I mean, whatever again, and I'm not

224
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:06.840
<v Speaker 2>looking at it that way, but I'm sure there are

225
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.240
<v Speaker 2>others that say, well, Louisville winning and being this good

226
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:10.840
<v Speaker 2>right now just speaks to how bad the league is.

227
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:12.759
<v Speaker 2>Well whatever they can say, that's fine, they maybe right,

228
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:17.399
<v Speaker 2>But I think to see Louisville winning the way they're

229
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:22.519
<v Speaker 2>winning against the teams they're winning against without certain things

230
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:27.480
<v Speaker 2>happening that I thought would be vital, meaning I thought

231
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:31.679
<v Speaker 2>Louisville wasn't going to win many conference games against anybody

232
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:33.919
<v Speaker 2>despite the ACC being down if they weren't making three

233
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:36.480
<v Speaker 2>point shots. And the three point line has not been

234
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:40.759
<v Speaker 2>a substantial factor for this team in their last three games.

235
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:44.759
<v Speaker 2>And in a way, that's like, well, should we continue

236
00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:46.559
<v Speaker 2>to say this is a good shooting team? I don't know,

237
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:49.440
<v Speaker 2>maybe not, but we also know that at any moment

238
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:52.080
<v Speaker 2>they could get hot and light the arena on fire.

239
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:54.720
<v Speaker 2>And now what they're doing, while not shooting the ball

240
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:57.679
<v Speaker 2>well and not making a ton of threes, they're getting

241
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:02.080
<v Speaker 2>They're getting better in every other area and I can't wait.

242
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:02.840
<v Speaker 3>I'll be there tomorrow.

243
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm leaving for those who haven't heard me mention it

244
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:07.600
<v Speaker 2>throughout the week, and I'm sure you don't care, but

245
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:09.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll share with you anyway. I'm leaving right after the

246
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.679
<v Speaker 2>show to go scoop my dad, who has my son,

247
00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:14.960
<v Speaker 2>my four year old Moose and my I mean, he's

248
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.399
<v Speaker 2>not really a moose, he's my son, but we call

249
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:17.840
<v Speaker 2>him moose. I think you guys pick up on that,

250
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:19.279
<v Speaker 2>but I didn't want to. And you never know if

251
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:22.039
<v Speaker 2>somebody just randomly tuning in, this guy's got a moose no,

252
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:22.960
<v Speaker 2>it's what we call my son.

253
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:24.399
<v Speaker 3>It'd be pretty cool though, it would be cool.

254
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:27.919
<v Speaker 2>So my nephew, my son, and my dad were all

255
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:30.440
<v Speaker 2>heading up to Pittsburgh. But we're gonna stay in Columbus

256
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.679
<v Speaker 2>tonight and then make the drive to Pittsburgh in the

257
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:36.480
<v Speaker 2>morning for the noon kickoff and then do whatever we

258
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:37.200
<v Speaker 2>can get into.

259
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:37.960
<v Speaker 3>We'll get into it.

260
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Who knows what you know the fellas are going to

261
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:43.080
<v Speaker 2>get into during the day in Pittsburgh tomorrow after the game.

262
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:45.240
<v Speaker 2>But I do know we're going to be watching the Uh,

263
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:47.679
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna be an enemy territory because I don't mind

264
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:49.600
<v Speaker 2>the Steelers, but I'm clearly all in on the Ravens

265
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:51.879
<v Speaker 2>here in the postseason, and I'll be in Pittsburgh watching

266
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:54.960
<v Speaker 2>the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers play. But of

267
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:57.879
<v Speaker 2>course the game will be in Baltimore. So I'm sure

268
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.759
<v Speaker 2>any bar we go into within any you know, with

269
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:06.840
<v Speaker 2>within a I don't know, sixty mile radius of downtown Pittsburgh,

270
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:07.840
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be nothing.

271
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:08.600
<v Speaker 3>But black and yellow.

272
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:12.000
<v Speaker 2>But we're I'll be pulling for pulling for the Ravens,

273
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:15.080
<v Speaker 2>so hopefully you know that doesn't cause a scene. Are

274
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:17.639
<v Speaker 2>Steelers fans, Like I know, they're like they're they're they're

275
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:21.000
<v Speaker 2>die hard, they're hardcore. But are they like they're not

276
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:22.919
<v Speaker 2>like Patriot fans right, Like they're not like known to

277
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:23.679
<v Speaker 2>be a holes?

278
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:24.039
<v Speaker 3>Are they?

279
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:27.320
<v Speaker 4>I don't think so. But I've always had the uh,

280
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:29.639
<v Speaker 4>I've always had the opinion the most Steelers fans that

281
00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:32.360
<v Speaker 4>don't live in Pittsburgh, I feel like wanted to when

282
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:34.519
<v Speaker 4>they wanted to find a team to cheer for, they

283
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:38.879
<v Speaker 4>didn't want to do the obvious bandwagon thing, like like

284
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:41.799
<v Speaker 4>the Cowboys or the Patriots, so they went with like

285
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:44.480
<v Speaker 4>the next sneaky best franchise.

286
00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:45.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the Steelers.

287
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I know a lot of Steelers fans because

288
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:50.639
<v Speaker 2>they're one of the national teams in the NFL, of course,

289
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:54.200
<v Speaker 2>but it's mostly people who just became fans when they

290
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:57.759
<v Speaker 2>were young, Like they're not connected to Pittsburgh meeting. They're fans,

291
00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:02.840
<v Speaker 2>but they're probably you know, I guess they're technically fans,

292
00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:04.279
<v Speaker 2>just like people who live in Pittsburgh, but I feel

293
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:07.000
<v Speaker 2>like it's different, you know what I mean. So anyways,

294
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking forward to when it comes to the NFL's

295
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:12.559
<v Speaker 2>Super Wildcard weekend. Did you see that they're the NFL

296
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:15.320
<v Speaker 2>is no longer using super Wildcard. I guess they realized

297
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:18.200
<v Speaker 2>that was lame. Oh, they're only saying wildcard now, so.

298
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:21.399
<v Speaker 4>It's just regular Wildcard weekend now, I like super Wildcard

299
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:23.240
<v Speaker 4>super wild Card week Yeah.

300
00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:25.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look, you can give us as many playoff

301
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:27.360
<v Speaker 2>games as you want and we're still going to be

302
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:29.399
<v Speaker 2>excited for them, because that's just what the NFL does

303
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.360
<v Speaker 2>to a lot of us. But one of the things

304
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:36.720
<v Speaker 2>I saw yesterday made me laugh and then I'm looking at.

305
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:37.720
<v Speaker 3>It as a real joke here.

306
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:40.039
<v Speaker 2>But maybe there are people who view these kind of

307
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:45.879
<v Speaker 2>things as if they matter. But since twenty seventeen, Sean Payton,

308
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:49.919
<v Speaker 2>of course Bronco's head coach. Now his record against bald

309
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:55.279
<v Speaker 2>head coaches is thirty and twelve, a seventy one percent

310
00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:59.080
<v Speaker 2>winning percentage against bald coaches. And Sean McDermott, the coach

311
00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:02.559
<v Speaker 2>of the Bills, is a man very bald. So maybe

312
00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:05.879
<v Speaker 2>maybe the Bills are on upset alert here. I doubt it,

313
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:08.320
<v Speaker 2>but like, who would he like? Is that a real

314
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean again, you have no clue what to believe

315
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.159
<v Speaker 2>on the internet anymore, if it's true or not. Like

316
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.519
<v Speaker 2>there are graphics that have been made about this. Of course,

317
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, to try to be funny on the internet.

318
00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Pardon my take. The Barstool podcast has it. I mean,

319
00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:25.840
<v Speaker 2>it's it's being shared everywhere. But I would not be

320
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:28.759
<v Speaker 2>shocked if we ended up later finding out that, like,

321
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:33.759
<v Speaker 2>nobody verified this and in fact it's not real. But actually,

322
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.360
<v Speaker 2>here we go. I found the source. The Twitter account

323
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:40.200
<v Speaker 2>that is getting credit for this did point out that,

324
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean, these coaches are are technically bald. This is

325
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:48.440
<v Speaker 2>he has a real win and loss breakdown here. For

326
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:53.679
<v Speaker 2>Sean Payton, he beat Jim Caldwell and Sean McDermott, Todd Bowles,

327
00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:56.960
<v Speaker 2>and Dan Quinn in twenty seventeen, but he also lost

328
00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:58.919
<v Speaker 2>to dan Quinn once, so he went four and one

329
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:02.519
<v Speaker 2>against bald coaches in two twenty seventeen. He went undefeated

330
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:06.240
<v Speaker 2>against balt coaches in twenty eighteen, with wins over Mike Tomlin,

331
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.159
<v Speaker 2>Hugh Jackson, Dan Quinn twice, and Marvin Lewis. And then

332
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:16.480
<v Speaker 2>in twenty nineteen he beat Bill O'Brien, Bruce Arians, Matt Naggy,

333
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Bruce Arians again, dan Quinn, Perry, who the hell is Perry?

334
00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Fuel must have been an interim guy who was bald

335
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:25.360
<v Speaker 2>and then he also lost to Dan Quinn.

336
00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:27.200
<v Speaker 3>So this guy's got receipts.

337
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:31.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's I mean again, that's just a random number.

338
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:34.080
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know, maybe people, maybe people are seeing

339
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.000
<v Speaker 2>that and thinking, okay, okay, maybe I'm gonna have to

340
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:39.240
<v Speaker 2>make some adjustments here to what I was gonna wager on.

341
00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I should be taking Buffalo here, Maybe I should

342
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:44.639
<v Speaker 2>be taking Denver. I'm sorry plus eight and a half

343
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:48.120
<v Speaker 2>because I mean, when it comes to balt coaches, he

344
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:51.080
<v Speaker 2>don't lose much. Which game are you most excited about?

345
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Outside of course your game? Obviously Vikings Rams that'll be

346
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:56.120
<v Speaker 2>the last game. Actually that's on Monday, so.

347
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.159
<v Speaker 4>That random Monday, that's right, because of all the the

348
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:04.720
<v Speaker 4>wildfire wanted stuff. I would have to say probably obviously

349
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:07.960
<v Speaker 4>the Steelers Ravens. I like that matchup.

350
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:09.440
<v Speaker 3>But that tells me that you think it's gonna be

351
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:09.960
<v Speaker 3>a close.

352
00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:14.720
<v Speaker 4>Game, right, No, I think the Ravens run away with

353
00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:16.079
<v Speaker 4>their the Hugs scoring teams.

354
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:17.599
<v Speaker 2>And so you're looking forward to because that's what you

355
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:20.039
<v Speaker 2>want to see, right, Okay? Because because I actually think

356
00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:22.720
<v Speaker 2>I think the Buccaneers and the Commander's game has a

357
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:25.119
<v Speaker 2>chance to be a really competitive game, which could be great.

358
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:26.119
<v Speaker 4>It's got a high over him.

359
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:26.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

360
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:29.279
<v Speaker 2>And then another game that I kind of feel like

361
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:32.680
<v Speaker 2>will be close, but I could be totally wrong, is

362
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:36.440
<v Speaker 2>the Eagles and the Packers. I probably am not giving

363
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:38.440
<v Speaker 2>the Eagles enough credit because I just think their coach

364
00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:40.440
<v Speaker 2>looks like the biggest weasel.

365
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:43.920
<v Speaker 4>It's his name, uh Siriani. Yeah, like he just kind

366
00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:45.559
<v Speaker 4>of himself looks like an Eagle.

367
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Well and then and he he really does, which reminds

368
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:52.200
<v Speaker 2>me earlier I was thinking, you know what, Carson Beck

369
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:54.680
<v Speaker 2>looks like Miami, because that's where he's transferring. Doesn't he

370
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:58.599
<v Speaker 2>doesn't he look like but he looks like Miami. So anyways,

371
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:01.720
<v Speaker 2>the Eagles are really good, but they weren't playing well

372
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:05.039
<v Speaker 2>early on, and it stuck with me when he was

373
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:08.359
<v Speaker 2>yelling at fans in the stands, like after they barely

374
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.440
<v Speaker 2>got by the awful Bears in one of the earlier

375
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:13.079
<v Speaker 2>weeks in the season, and it just, I don't know,

376
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:15.640
<v Speaker 2>just rubbed me the wrong way. But technically they are

377
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they're a really good team, and Barkley's been

378
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:21.640
<v Speaker 2>phenomenal and they've got some real championship pedigree. They've been

379
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:24.279
<v Speaker 2>making deep runs in the postseason for quite some time now,

380
00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:28.160
<v Speaker 2>so maybe it won't be close. But I love Green

381
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:30.839
<v Speaker 2>Bay plus plus five and a half. But then again,

382
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:32.839
<v Speaker 2>they also didn't have a whole lot of momentum in

383
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:35.319
<v Speaker 2>the season. I just I don't know Eagles at home.

384
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:37.640
<v Speaker 2>Probably I should probably stay away from that one because

385
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:40.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm leaning Packers. But yet here I am like having

386
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.519
<v Speaker 2>to convince myself why I would take the Packers, because

387
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:46.240
<v Speaker 2>the Eagles was probably probably the better play Chargers Texans.

388
00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:49.759
<v Speaker 2>We think happens there. We got Chargers minus three. Houston

389
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:52.519
<v Speaker 2>really a roller coaster type season where they look kind

390
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:54.359
<v Speaker 2>of a weird team, right, Yeah, well, they had enough

391
00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:57.079
<v Speaker 2>success to get here. Part of it's because the division sucks,

392
00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:02.599
<v Speaker 2>but also even when they were winning and getting back

393
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:05.680
<v Speaker 2>to the playoffs once again, Stroud took.

394
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:06.799
<v Speaker 3>Such a big step back this year.

395
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like he he went from being a guy that

396
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:12.240
<v Speaker 2>looked like a future star in the league to a

397
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:14.839
<v Speaker 2>year where he still got a job. He's still the

398
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:17.680
<v Speaker 2>guy that's in their future, but if he doesn't bounce

399
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:19.880
<v Speaker 2>back to what he looked like more so last year, like.

400
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:20.200
<v Speaker 3>He could be.

401
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:21.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he was bad at times this year, Like

402
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:24.799
<v Speaker 2>they lost some games in prime time and they got

403
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:28.559
<v Speaker 2>prime time because he's this young, exciting quarterback, and I

404
00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:29.759
<v Speaker 2>mean he wasn't very good.

405
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:32.039
<v Speaker 4>To be honest with you, I like the I probably

406
00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:34.519
<v Speaker 4>like the Chargers in this matchup just because.

407
00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:36.880
<v Speaker 3>I trust Harrorball here.

408
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Harball has had one hell of a year and

409
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:43.200
<v Speaker 4>he's honestly a really good head coach. Their defenses playing

410
00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:46.759
<v Speaker 4>I'm not the big like the biggest, Like I'm not

411
00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:49.799
<v Speaker 4>the biggest Justin Herbert fan. There's a lot of I'm

412
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:53.839
<v Speaker 4>a doubter of Justin Herbert. But they're coached really well

413
00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:57.720
<v Speaker 4>and it's as familiar territory I possibly like, even though

414
00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:59.400
<v Speaker 4>I kind of want to doubt Philly. That's gonna be

415
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:01.680
<v Speaker 4>a weird game green Bay and Philly because green Bay

416
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:04.559
<v Speaker 4>has been playing too well of late and Philly is

417
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:07.279
<v Speaker 4>just weird vibes all around. Like I said that their

418
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:10.319
<v Speaker 4>team they had the they had the the Hurts aj

419
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:11.400
<v Speaker 4>Brown stuff.

420
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:14.160
<v Speaker 3>Going on this year, and uh, that's true. I forgot

421
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:14.559
<v Speaker 3>about that.

422
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:18.359
<v Speaker 4>They still don't. They've kept everything with Hurts just kind

423
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:20.200
<v Speaker 4>of very on the lo lo like he's still I

424
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:22.279
<v Speaker 4>think he's now out of cutting cushion.

425
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:24.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's going to be available to play, but but

426
00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:26.400
<v Speaker 2>there was some doubt that he wouldn't be able to play.

427
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:28.599
<v Speaker 2>And you're right, the AJ Brown Hurts stuff was weird,

428
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:34.119
<v Speaker 2>meaning they clearly it was exaggerated to an extent because

429
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:38.519
<v Speaker 2>that's just how the internet social media works, but for

430
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:40.599
<v Speaker 2>them to kind of act like it's all made up, no,

431
00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:42.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I don't think anybody believes that, Like,

432
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:43.799
<v Speaker 2>there's clearly some level of disconnect.

433
00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:45.759
<v Speaker 4>And then he got Hurts after the game coming out,

434
00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:47.880
<v Speaker 4>It's that good enough for you kind of like, yeah,

435
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:50.640
<v Speaker 4>what cal was doing last year after it beat Tennessee

436
00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:52.839
<v Speaker 4>and it came out, Yeah, and he did the uh

437
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:53.920
<v Speaker 4>you guys like that.

438
00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:55.880
<v Speaker 2>But I give I give Hurts a pass because he's

439
00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:59.480
<v Speaker 2>not typically somebody that would really like he's pretty low

440
00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:01.759
<v Speaker 2>key and not really doing a whole lot to bring

441
00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:02.839
<v Speaker 2>any attention his way.

442
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:03.799
<v Speaker 3>But he did.

443
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:06.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think he felt the heat that was

444
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:10.000
<v Speaker 2>there that our top receiver and our franchise quarterback aren't

445
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.240
<v Speaker 2>on the same page. This is not ideal, and he

446
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:14.319
<v Speaker 2>really wanted to me it was a tell. The fact

447
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:16.880
<v Speaker 2>that he felt the need to emphasize that, hey, we're

448
00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:18.799
<v Speaker 2>good probably told me that they're not good to be

449
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:20.559
<v Speaker 2>honest with you, and they're making it work as best

450
00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:20.960
<v Speaker 2>they can.

451
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:23.640
<v Speaker 4>But and I also happen to like, I know we

452
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:26.160
<v Speaker 4>were talking about the now that you give me the

453
00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:29.839
<v Speaker 4>bald head coach record, I kind of I don't know

454
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:31.720
<v Speaker 4>if I like Denver to win, but eight and a

455
00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:33.799
<v Speaker 4>half seems really really cool. Oh yeah, I think I

456
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:36.319
<v Speaker 4>think Denver gives the Bills a run for their money.

457
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:38.160
<v Speaker 4>I could see them going up early and I could

458
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:42.039
<v Speaker 4>see some like late heroics by Josh Allen for them

459
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:43.519
<v Speaker 4>to win. So if you want to place that in

460
00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:45.359
<v Speaker 4>your parlay, I think that's a lot of points to

461
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:48.000
<v Speaker 4>be given. And experienced head coach, and granted they have

462
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:52.000
<v Speaker 4>they have a rookie quarterback who everybody was kind I'm

463
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:54.160
<v Speaker 4>still up and down on bow Nicks, but you know,

464
00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:56.680
<v Speaker 4>this is familiar territory as well for Sean Page.

465
00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.039
<v Speaker 2>But I think Peyton is Peyton likes the chip on

466
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:01.920
<v Speaker 2>the shoulder, the underdog role in bo Nicks. You never

467
00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:03.839
<v Speaker 2>really know what you're gonna get. But I kind of

468
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:06.279
<v Speaker 2>feel like when you feel like, okay, yeah, this guy

469
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:07.799
<v Speaker 2>had a little bit of a flash. He's kind of

470
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:09.319
<v Speaker 2>a bum, and then it'll come out and play phenomenal,

471
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:11.680
<v Speaker 2>like you know. So yeah, I don't think know when.

472
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:13.720
<v Speaker 2>But the two biggest spreads here are eight and a

473
00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:16.039
<v Speaker 2>half Steelers, of course, are eight and a half point

474
00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:17.720
<v Speaker 2>dogs to the Ravens and the Broncos or eight and

475
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:19.279
<v Speaker 2>a half point dogs to the Bills. I would say

476
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:21.559
<v Speaker 2>the team there with a better chance of covering his

477
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:25.160
<v Speaker 2>dogs is Denver. And I say that more about because

478
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:27.319
<v Speaker 2>of Denver than I do anything about Steelers and Ravens.

479
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:29.039
<v Speaker 3>All right, quick break will come back. On the other side.

480
00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:31.200
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna have a guest joining us, Doctor Larry Ben's,

481
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:32.880
<v Speaker 2>a PROI of physical Therapy's gonna join us right here

482
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:35.119
<v Speaker 2>on the other side on Sports Talk seven ninety.

483
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:40.119
<v Speaker 1>Now back to coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

484
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

485
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:50.519
<v Speaker 2>I have not paid attention as closely as I as

486
00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:53.000
<v Speaker 2>I usually do during our commercial breaks as far as

487
00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:56.960
<v Speaker 2>the traffic and weather updates, and I have no clue

488
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:00.599
<v Speaker 2>what to expect. Oftentimes mentioned I end up showing up

489
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:03.599
<v Speaker 2>at sometimes earlier in the afternoon, sometimes before the show starts,

490
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:05.680
<v Speaker 2>and I just have in my mind what the weather

491
00:23:05.880 --> 00:23:08.279
<v Speaker 2>was whenever I got here and there's no windows, so

492
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:11.440
<v Speaker 2>I still mentioned, you know, it's a nice day or

493
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:13.480
<v Speaker 2>it's been raining, and I could be like way off.

494
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:16.000
<v Speaker 2>But I really have no clue what to expect as

495
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:18.839
<v Speaker 2>far as the snow, because when I got here, we had,

496
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:21.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, we had some snow coming down pretty heavily,

497
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:24.000
<v Speaker 2>but it you know, it didn't it didn't appear to

498
00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:25.799
<v Speaker 2>be sticking to any of the roads I was driving on.

499
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:28.920
<v Speaker 2>I was pretty pleased with despite the snow still piled

500
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:32.160
<v Speaker 2>up everywhere the main roads. Again, at least, you know,

501
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:35.519
<v Speaker 2>two and a half three hours ago, we're you know,

502
00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:40.160
<v Speaker 2>we're we're in good shape despite despite us getting more

503
00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:42.440
<v Speaker 2>and more snow and it's still being below freezing. So

504
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:44.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure what it looks like out there right now,

505
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:46.640
<v Speaker 2>but hopefully it's not terrible.

506
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:48.680
<v Speaker 3>Is we do?

507
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:49.319
<v Speaker 5>We do?

508
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:51.440
<v Speaker 3>We have Larry here? I thought I saw him.

509
00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:53.160
<v Speaker 4>I don't see him now to day, and I placed

510
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:55.599
<v Speaker 4>him on hold and it hung up. I'll give him

511
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:56.839
<v Speaker 4>a call back, Okay.

512
00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:59.200
<v Speaker 2>We were efforting the one and only doctor Larry Ben's

513
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:01.799
<v Speaker 2>Priorio physical there be and we'll bring him on here

514
00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:04.759
<v Speaker 2>in just a moment. But yeah, the when I'm looking,

515
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:08.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to see if there's any like, you know, updated, Yeah,

516
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:11.160
<v Speaker 2>the closings and delays, Like there were a lot of

517
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:15.559
<v Speaker 2>businesses that that that have been closed earlier this week,

518
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:18.039
<v Speaker 2>but I think as far as that most places have

519
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:20.000
<v Speaker 2>been able to kind of get their parking lots cleared

520
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:21.559
<v Speaker 2>out and and you know, a lot of places are

521
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:22.880
<v Speaker 2>not going to be in good shape if they have

522
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:25.599
<v Speaker 2>to go a couple of days without uh, you know,

523
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:27.160
<v Speaker 2>without being able to be open for business.

524
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:29.839
<v Speaker 3>But schools, you still have.

525
00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:34.519
<v Speaker 2>JCPS canceled, which of course means we don't have high

526
00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:36.759
<v Speaker 2>school basketball going on, which is a real bummer. That's

527
00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:38.839
<v Speaker 2>one of those things that uh, I know if I

528
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:41.160
<v Speaker 2>was in school. When I was in school and there

529
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:44.519
<v Speaker 2>were snow days, uh, it was a real big issue

530
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:47.279
<v Speaker 2>if it happened on a on a on a on

531
00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:50.200
<v Speaker 2>a game where you had a basketball game. I mean,

532
00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:54.119
<v Speaker 2>in fact, we had a snow day that we had

533
00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:55.759
<v Speaker 2>one of our better players when I was a sophomore.

534
00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:58.599
<v Speaker 2>He was suspended for a game because he got ejected

535
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:02.960
<v Speaker 2>and he was supposed to of his suspension on Tuesday

536
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:07.039
<v Speaker 2>and against JCPS school and it got canceled because of

537
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:08.400
<v Speaker 2>snow and they didn't make it up so we had

538
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:10.279
<v Speaker 2>to serve a suspension in the following game, and that

539
00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:12.200
<v Speaker 2>was a district game, and it was one of those

540
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:15.160
<v Speaker 2>reminders that snow days can can can certainly impact your

541
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:17.799
<v Speaker 2>your your high school sports, which you know isn't fun

542
00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:20.000
<v Speaker 2>because that's a special time. So hopefully they get everybody

543
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:21.759
<v Speaker 2>back to school here sooner rather than later. I know

544
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:24.680
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna we're getting some snow now, but I'm hopeful

545
00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:26.920
<v Speaker 2>that the Sunday temperatures that are going to be a

546
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:28.720
<v Speaker 2>buff freezing can melt a lot of this and we

547
00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:31.640
<v Speaker 2>can kind of get back to normal with the holidays

548
00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:33.119
<v Speaker 2>and then this week with snow, I kind of feel

549
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:35.480
<v Speaker 2>like we've not had a normal week around here in

550
00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:38.519
<v Speaker 2>a long long time. We've had some issues here where

551
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:39.839
<v Speaker 2>we haven't been able to be on the air because

552
00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:42.240
<v Speaker 2>of some stuff. So I'm just looking for some I'm

553
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:44.079
<v Speaker 2>looking to get back into my routine. I'm very big

554
00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:46.400
<v Speaker 2>on routine. All right, let's bring him in these doctor

555
00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:48.319
<v Speaker 2>Larry Ben's of pro Rea Physical Therapy.

556
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:50.759
<v Speaker 3>Larry, how we doing. We stay in warm out there.

557
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:54.759
<v Speaker 5>We're trying to stay warm and hydrated and you know,

558
00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:58.279
<v Speaker 5>making the most out of serving time here with all

559
00:25:58.279 --> 00:25:58.759
<v Speaker 5>this weather.

560
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, absolutely, it's been a week. It's been certainly. I

561
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:05.400
<v Speaker 2>can't remember the last time we had a week where

562
00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:08.160
<v Speaker 2>we had this much that we were impacted this much

563
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:10.839
<v Speaker 2>with this winter weather. But hopefully again it melts and

564
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:12.400
<v Speaker 2>we can get back to normal. But I wanted to

565
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:14.119
<v Speaker 2>bring up something that I just talked about not that

566
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:16.519
<v Speaker 2>long ago within the show, that I just learned about it.

567
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:19.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, maybe it was being talked about among

568
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:21.160
<v Speaker 2>some Louisville fans who had some inside information, but I

569
00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:24.160
<v Speaker 2>did not realize Noah Waterman was also injured like some

570
00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:26.000
<v Speaker 2>of his other teammates, but he was playing through it.

571
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:28.680
<v Speaker 2>So Pat Kelsey on his radio show this week mentioned

572
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:33.880
<v Speaker 2>that Noah underwent a surgery in December, but it did

573
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:34.839
<v Speaker 2>not keep him off the court.

574
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:36.559
<v Speaker 3>Apparently he had some rods put.

575
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Into his hand and he's taping it up each and

576
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:42.920
<v Speaker 2>every day in practice and also in games. And I

577
00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:45.240
<v Speaker 2>don't know the extent of the injury. I'm not sure

578
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:47.000
<v Speaker 2>if you do, or if you would even want to say.

579
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:50.599
<v Speaker 2>But I heard that and I felt even more in

580
00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:52.200
<v Speaker 2>love with this team and this group and what they're

581
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:54.559
<v Speaker 2>all about, because they don't make any excuses, they don't

582
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:57.160
<v Speaker 2>play victim. Noah has struggled at times, and he's been

583
00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:00.119
<v Speaker 2>criticized by fans just for some of the of the

584
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:02.119
<v Speaker 2>games where he really didn't play well. But man, he's

585
00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:04.240
<v Speaker 2>still giving it as all and sounds like a lot

586
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:06.440
<v Speaker 2>of guys might have might have set out, but he

587
00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:06.759
<v Speaker 2>did not.

588
00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:08.920
<v Speaker 3>So, you know, guys playing.

589
00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Through injuries, you really never know what an athlete's going through,

590
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:12.759
<v Speaker 2>right You just assume that if somebody's hurt, you're going

591
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:13.319
<v Speaker 2>to know about it.

592
00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:14.640
<v Speaker 3>But that's clearly not the case.

593
00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:19.240
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely. I mean, I think the interesting thing about coach

594
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:21.640
<v Speaker 5>Kelsey and his philosophy is if you're hurt, you're hurt,

595
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:25.200
<v Speaker 5>and you certainly would move off the lineup, you know

596
00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:29.119
<v Speaker 5>when that happens. And what you see at his practice

597
00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:30.880
<v Speaker 5>is is you don't see a whole lot of people

598
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:35.039
<v Speaker 5>sitting around hurt. And you know, the specifics of his

599
00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:38.440
<v Speaker 5>injury are a little bit you know, evasive purposely, but

600
00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:41.880
<v Speaker 5>you know clearly he played through it. It's not unusual

601
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:44.480
<v Speaker 5>to see pins and things, I would call it describe

602
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:47.279
<v Speaker 5>more as pins as instead of rods. But I understand

603
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:50.480
<v Speaker 5>your point, and you know, see him, see him play

604
00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:52.559
<v Speaker 5>through it. I mean, this is a team that you

605
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:55.559
<v Speaker 5>know where culture is king and the power of the

606
00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:57.799
<v Speaker 5>unit and all the things he talks about. It's one

607
00:27:57.839 --> 00:27:59.960
<v Speaker 5>thing to give lip service, but it's quite a enough

608
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:02.759
<v Speaker 5>there to act upon that, and what you see here

609
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:06.880
<v Speaker 5>is those values and action. It's it's been amazing year

610
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:10.200
<v Speaker 5>so far. I think the fans have absolutely been galvanized

611
00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:12.079
<v Speaker 5>around this team, and it's it's it'd be hard not

612
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:15.559
<v Speaker 5>too frankly, so it's all things are going right now.

613
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:19.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think the the energy and just the overall way,

614
00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:22.720
<v Speaker 2>the overall way that Pat Kelsey carries himself. It was

615
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:24.960
<v Speaker 2>quite clear from from the beginning when he showed up

616
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:27.160
<v Speaker 2>and introduced himself to us at the press conference, and

617
00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:29.240
<v Speaker 2>then you could tell pretty quickly that it wasn't just

618
00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:31.359
<v Speaker 2>slip service. It was it was genuine And I think

619
00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:34.279
<v Speaker 2>really these last few games, I feel like you're seeing

620
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:37.359
<v Speaker 2>this team playing so hard and together and kind of,

621
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:39.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, getting more comfortable in this new version of

622
00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:41.359
<v Speaker 2>themselves now that they know they're without a couple of

623
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:44.240
<v Speaker 2>guys they expected to be big factors for this team,

624
00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:45.880
<v Speaker 2>but you know, they're not even shooting the ball all

625
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:47.640
<v Speaker 2>that well or relying on the three point shot as

626
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:49.559
<v Speaker 2>much and they're still just just out there. I mean,

627
00:28:49.559 --> 00:28:51.279
<v Speaker 2>I feel like they're beating teams up out there with this,

628
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:54.279
<v Speaker 2>with their physicality, with their defense. And I know you've

629
00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:56.359
<v Speaker 2>been You've been around this program a lot more than

630
00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:58.200
<v Speaker 2>others with your time in the Bahamas, and I know

631
00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:00.160
<v Speaker 2>you you got a chance to know Pat kelseon the

632
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:04.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I feel like just from it's just from

633
00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:07.599
<v Speaker 2>a fan standpoint, I've never wanted to just be a

634
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:09.200
<v Speaker 2>fly on the wall in the locker room with the

635
00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:09.960
<v Speaker 2>team more than this one.

636
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:12.680
<v Speaker 3>The camaraderie they have, they're very selfless.

637
00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:15.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's it's exactly what we needed and I

638
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:17.039
<v Speaker 2>think everybody knew that at the time, but to see

639
00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:18.920
<v Speaker 2>it all kind of play out, it's been it's been

640
00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:19.720
<v Speaker 2>really really special.

641
00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:23.640
<v Speaker 5>No, it absolutely has. I think the other element I

642
00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:28.680
<v Speaker 5>would sure team These are kids from various different backgrounds

643
00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:32.359
<v Speaker 5>obviously not just geographically, but where they played in college

644
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:34.440
<v Speaker 5>prior to here. You know, you always hear all these

645
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:37.279
<v Speaker 5>negatives about the transfer portal, but this is an absolute

646
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:40.640
<v Speaker 5>example of the positives. You have kids coming in, they

647
00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:43.559
<v Speaker 5>come from various coaching. You know, you mentioned Waterman, he

648
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:44.680
<v Speaker 5>you know, he was one of the ones that came

649
00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:47.240
<v Speaker 5>from BYU and you know, they had a certainly a

650
00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:51.200
<v Speaker 5>running gun type offense as well. So it's great to

651
00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:53.680
<v Speaker 5>see the way they've melded together. You know, I think

652
00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:57.000
<v Speaker 5>you have less you have more seriousness around, you know

653
00:29:57.039 --> 00:30:00.319
<v Speaker 5>what the intent of what they're trying to achieve, they

654
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:02.960
<v Speaker 5>had to obviously buy. Every one of them was recruited

655
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:06.359
<v Speaker 5>by you know, the current coach. Think of that, you know,

656
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:10.000
<v Speaker 5>just in retrospect, a coach can come in oftentimes and

657
00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:13.079
<v Speaker 5>inherit a team. It happens, you know, you take football,

658
00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:15.640
<v Speaker 5>for example, Jeff Brob came in. Yeah, you're the transfer portal,

659
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:17.759
<v Speaker 5>but he was inheriting a lot of the recruits of

660
00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:21.200
<v Speaker 5>the prior coach. That's normal in basketball, at least for

661
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:24.119
<v Speaker 5>this past year and at least at the University of Louisville,

662
00:30:24.119 --> 00:30:26.559
<v Speaker 5>the coach was able to recruit his type of player

663
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:29.960
<v Speaker 5>using his type of recruiting metrics. He's very big on

664
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:34.359
<v Speaker 5>that also assessing, you know, their values and their work ethic.

665
00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:37.599
<v Speaker 5>And one of the things I really respect about you know,

666
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:40.160
<v Speaker 5>how he is recruited is he looks at their past.

667
00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:43.599
<v Speaker 5>Did they miss a lot of practice for being injured?

668
00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:45.839
<v Speaker 5>And that's one of his key metrics, I know, just

669
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:49.759
<v Speaker 5>and some of the things he's presented you don't normally

670
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:53.319
<v Speaker 5>hear that. So the fans have united around it. There

671
00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:56.680
<v Speaker 5>was all lip service. You know, everybody has a great offseason, right,

672
00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:59.119
<v Speaker 5>but the way to come in show what you can

673
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:01.440
<v Speaker 5>do in the Bahamas, which we did even though we

674
00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:05.440
<v Speaker 5>were underman and injuries ridden, and then get through that

675
00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:07.400
<v Speaker 5>and now when you know, five games in a row,

676
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:10.079
<v Speaker 5>so it's pretty special. Hopefully we can carry the momentum

677
00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:13.039
<v Speaker 5>forward and the signs look bright. I mean you saw

678
00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:15.480
<v Speaker 5>the five star recruit and all things come come. That's

679
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:18.519
<v Speaker 5>right that you know, if the NCAA grants this extra

680
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:20.880
<v Speaker 5>year like they're talking about, I don't know who stays

681
00:31:20.920 --> 00:31:23.960
<v Speaker 5>and who goes, but with nil and rev share, that

682
00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:26.279
<v Speaker 5>can change the mathematics. You know, if you if you

683
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:30.400
<v Speaker 5>read about the NBA, they're thinking of already deliberating possibly

684
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:33.640
<v Speaker 5>getting rid of the D League because you'll have players

685
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:35.400
<v Speaker 5>stick around more in college, especially if it goes to

686
00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:39.119
<v Speaker 5>five years. So it's really exciting time for the fans.

687
00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:43.160
<v Speaker 5>And those are the positives around things like rev share

688
00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:47.640
<v Speaker 5>and transfer portal. We're mostly here the negatives. So it's

689
00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:48.400
<v Speaker 5>really helped.

690
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:49.319
<v Speaker 3>Us, no doubt.

691
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:51.839
<v Speaker 2>And one of the things that I've one of the

692
00:31:51.880 --> 00:31:54.480
<v Speaker 2>things that was mentioned to me from those that either

693
00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:56.680
<v Speaker 2>had some familiarity with Pat Kelsey or got a chance

694
00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:58.319
<v Speaker 2>to meet him and be around him a little bit early,

695
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:01.119
<v Speaker 2>that he was very organs and very much a guy

696
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:02.400
<v Speaker 2>that you can tell he's got a lot that the

697
00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:04.799
<v Speaker 2>attention to detail really stands out. And I mean, I

698
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:07.200
<v Speaker 2>can tell and watching this watching this team play and

699
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:09.079
<v Speaker 2>not even really going out of my way to look

700
00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:11.680
<v Speaker 2>for it, but you can tell they're they're prepared, they're

701
00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:14.519
<v Speaker 2>locked in, and they're having success and they're having fun.

702
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:17.640
<v Speaker 2>And you mentioned these guys in their background, it makes sense.

703
00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:19.240
<v Speaker 2>But to kind of see it play out and and

704
00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:21.359
<v Speaker 2>and and really be able to tell these guys feel

705
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:24.519
<v Speaker 2>appreciative to be here. And Louisville basketball is a special thing.

706
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:27.400
<v Speaker 2>We all know that, but recent years have been pretty tough.

707
00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:30.039
<v Speaker 2>But yet these guys, man, they're they're they're treating this

708
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:32.160
<v Speaker 2>as a great opportunity and they're and they're all trying

709
00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:34.440
<v Speaker 2>to collectively make the most of it. And it's just

710
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:36.119
<v Speaker 2>been a fun ride thus far. And we've still got

711
00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:37.559
<v Speaker 2>a lot of basketball to be played. And I feel

712
00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:39.799
<v Speaker 2>like they're just now rounding into form where you feel like, okay,

713
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:42.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe this team could be not just good, but maybe

714
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:44.119
<v Speaker 2>pretty good. So it's been fun, no doubt. Now do

715
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:45.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, help go ahead, sir.

716
00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:48.160
<v Speaker 5>No. The only other thing I was going to add

717
00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:52.240
<v Speaker 5>is that you know what you've seen with our marquee

718
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:55.519
<v Speaker 5>programs as mature coaches. So Pat Kelsey came in, he

719
00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:57.160
<v Speaker 5>was not a new head coach. He had been a

720
00:32:57.200 --> 00:32:59.599
<v Speaker 5>head coach for many years. I think Jeff when he

721
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:02.119
<v Speaker 5>came in football coach was in about ten. You know

722
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:04.359
<v Speaker 5>our volleyball coach. You know, Danny's been the head coach

723
00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:07.599
<v Speaker 5>for a number of years now, Jeff Walls, you know

724
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:11.240
<v Speaker 5>Dan McDonnell. These are very, you know, mature programs in

725
00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:14.640
<v Speaker 5>terms of their leadership, and they've gone through learning curves

726
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:17.640
<v Speaker 5>for many, many years and we get the benefit.

727
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:18.359
<v Speaker 3>Of all that, no doubt.

728
00:33:18.519 --> 00:33:21.839
<v Speaker 2>The NFL playoffs getting started tomorrow and Lamar Jackson's going

729
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:24.200
<v Speaker 2>to be without one of his top receivers, Zay Flowers,

730
00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:28.359
<v Speaker 2>will miss the game against the Steelers. Yesterday, coach Harbaugh

731
00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:29.680
<v Speaker 2>mentioned that he's not going to be able to make

732
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:31.960
<v Speaker 2>it for this game, but did say that he'll get

733
00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:35.519
<v Speaker 2>started again next week, and I don't know. I don't

734
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:38.039
<v Speaker 2>think there's any specifics as far as what this injury is.

735
00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Apparently he did go through something during their most recent game.

736
00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:44.519
<v Speaker 2>But when you hear that he's just already ruled out

737
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:46.000
<v Speaker 2>and again you're getting so close to kick off, it

738
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:47.960
<v Speaker 2>makes sense for them to make that decision yesterday, but

739
00:33:48.079 --> 00:33:49.440
<v Speaker 2>to know that he's going to be out there, I

740
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:51.599
<v Speaker 2>guess to try to give it a go the following week.

741
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:54.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's probably it's encouraging, but clearly he's not

742
00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:56.559
<v Speaker 2>in a great spot now, or he'd be out there playing.

743
00:33:56.559 --> 00:33:58.240
<v Speaker 3>I feel like this is a pretty big injury.

744
00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Obviously, Lamar and the Ravens have had such a special season,

745
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:02.720
<v Speaker 2>and say Flowers has been a big factor in that.

746
00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:06.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, there's no question you'll see all kinds of little

747
00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:08.519
<v Speaker 5>people watching tomorrow night at eight pm. I can promise

748
00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:11.679
<v Speaker 5>you that. And the one thing about you know Lamar

749
00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:15.880
<v Speaker 5>is he's he's got so many weapons aside from key receivers.

750
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:18.760
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you know, he's gotten his criticism for not

751
00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:20.800
<v Speaker 5>making it, you know, very far in the playoffs, but

752
00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:23.000
<v Speaker 5>look what he's had to overcome. He said, you know,

753
00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:24.840
<v Speaker 5>it was it two year before last he had like

754
00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:26.960
<v Speaker 5>three running his top three running backs that got hurt,

755
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:29.639
<v Speaker 5>and he's now got wide receivers. But he seems to

756
00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:33.280
<v Speaker 5>now manage the game much better with again maturity, and

757
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:36.119
<v Speaker 5>you know, their backups are actually quite good. He's got

758
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:37.159
<v Speaker 5>Derrick Henry.

759
00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:38.760
<v Speaker 3>And you know, he's quite a weapon.

760
00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:41.119
<v Speaker 5>He got a lot. He's quite a weapon, and so

761
00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:43.400
<v Speaker 5>you know, you look effectively. You've got two of the

762
00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:45.679
<v Speaker 5>best running backs in the league, him and Derrick Henry.

763
00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:51.280
<v Speaker 5>So I'm very confident he makes good decisions. He also

764
00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:53.559
<v Speaker 5>has learned, I think, to play the entire game. I

765
00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:56.239
<v Speaker 5>really you know, watch some of these games where they

766
00:34:56.280 --> 00:34:58.840
<v Speaker 5>start out and maybe behind a bit, but he sticks

767
00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:03.320
<v Speaker 5>with his game plans, well coached and the ultimate team player,

768
00:35:03.320 --> 00:35:05.400
<v Speaker 5>and he's got the confidence of his team. So I'm

769
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:09.159
<v Speaker 5>very confident without Flowers, he's overcome these kind of obstacles before.

770
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:11.159
<v Speaker 5>But the other good news is they get through this

771
00:35:11.199 --> 00:35:12.679
<v Speaker 5>game and he'll be back for the next.

772
00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:13.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

773
00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:17.800
<v Speaker 2>I think Lamar is really showing how dangerous he can

774
00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:20.159
<v Speaker 2>make a team with everything that he brings. Of course,

775
00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:22.440
<v Speaker 2>because he's a special dynamic player, I don't think there's

776
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:25.239
<v Speaker 2>going to be anybody else that is quite like him. Ever,

777
00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:27.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm a little biased on my end, but still he's

778
00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:29.599
<v Speaker 2>a guy that's about to collect his third MVP. Not

779
00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:31.400
<v Speaker 2>many people can claim they've been able to do that,

780
00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:34.159
<v Speaker 2>but I think this year it's been you mentioned, he's

781
00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:36.960
<v Speaker 2>comfortable more so just because he realizes that, you know,

782
00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:39.199
<v Speaker 2>he can just you know, he doesn't have to be

783
00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:41.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's pretty spectacular. He can make plays that

784
00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:43.480
<v Speaker 2>nobody else can. But you can tell this is a

785
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:45.320
<v Speaker 2>guy that now has a running back that is that

786
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:48.079
<v Speaker 2>is a force with Derrick Henry and at receiver they've

787
00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:50.400
<v Speaker 2>got you know, Bateman's had a breakout year. Mark Andrews

788
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:52.079
<v Speaker 2>kind of looked like he was falling off and then

789
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:53.320
<v Speaker 2>he's really emerged.

790
00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:53.400
<v Speaker 3>As of late.

791
00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:55.719
<v Speaker 2>So I'm a Colts fan, so I don't have a

792
00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:58.360
<v Speaker 2>whole lot to be happy about with this NFL playoffs

793
00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:00.440
<v Speaker 2>coming up, but I'm definitely gonna be pulling for Lamar

794
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:02.639
<v Speaker 2>and the Ravens and hopeful that they can they can

795
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:04.840
<v Speaker 2>make a run real quick. This is this is This

796
00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:06.639
<v Speaker 2>may be a silly question, but when you hear NFL

797
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:10.239
<v Speaker 2>concussion protocol, because Jalen Hurts is of course just coming

798
00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:12.400
<v Speaker 2>off of a concussion protocol is going to be availble

799
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:14.280
<v Speaker 2>to play for the Eagles. What's a week like for

800
00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:18.159
<v Speaker 2>a player going through that process whenever they're just kind

801
00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:20.760
<v Speaker 2>of riding it out. What's what's practice look like. I

802
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:24.039
<v Speaker 2>would imagine it's it's pretty limited. But that's something you

803
00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:25.880
<v Speaker 2>hear quite a bit about, but I'm not sure many people,

804
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:28.280
<v Speaker 2>including myself, really understand what exactly means.

805
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:33.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so probably to put it most succinctly, in the NFL,

806
00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:38.119
<v Speaker 5>you have very rigid rules around concussion recovery, and I

807
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:41.719
<v Speaker 5>think it's effectively five stages or six depending on how

808
00:36:41.719 --> 00:36:43.480
<v Speaker 5>you count them. But you know you certainly have the

809
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:45.880
<v Speaker 5>injury and you have to rest, and then you're in

810
00:36:45.880 --> 00:36:50.880
<v Speaker 5>this sort of observation period when you start to reactivate

811
00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:54.119
<v Speaker 5>or start your movement. Start at very basic level. It's

812
00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:57.719
<v Speaker 5>also the management. Can you get through a walkthrough, can

813
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:01.440
<v Speaker 5>you get through mimicking? If you have any recurrent symptoms,

814
00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:04.199
<v Speaker 5>you go back a stage if you If you don't,

815
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:07.000
<v Speaker 5>you can progress to the next stage, which that includes

816
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:11.639
<v Speaker 5>you know, sort of more live activity, more more contact,

817
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:14.639
<v Speaker 5>and eventually you're able to return. But it has to

818
00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:17.480
<v Speaker 5>go through that progression and each stage you have to

819
00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:20.119
<v Speaker 5>demonstrate that you no longer have the symptoms, and it

820
00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:22.639
<v Speaker 5>is monitored. This isn't just take your word for it.

821
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:27.440
<v Speaker 5>You've got neurologists, athletic trainers, physical therapists monitoring them for symptoms.

822
00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:29.599
<v Speaker 5>They're not taking the athletic you know, they're not taking

823
00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:32.360
<v Speaker 5>the athletes word for it. And so they did that

824
00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:35.320
<v Speaker 5>as part of this massive you know, monetary settlement from

825
00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:38.880
<v Speaker 5>several years ago. So you know you've seen the effects

826
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:41.079
<v Speaker 5>of this from TUA would be the most classic example

827
00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:43.920
<v Speaker 5>it has at the recurrence of this, and you know,

828
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:46.760
<v Speaker 5>at the same time you're seeing it now with you know,

829
00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:48.280
<v Speaker 5>as you mentioned, going to the playoffs.

830
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:50.840
<v Speaker 3>All right, Larry, last question for you.

831
00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:53.559
<v Speaker 2>This is something I know you talked about recently with

832
00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:57.039
<v Speaker 2>Terry Minors. And I'm somebody that falls in this, this

833
00:37:57.039 --> 00:37:59.599
<v Speaker 2>this group of folks that because I'm not hot and

834
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:01.920
<v Speaker 2>sweaty and it's cold outside, I'm not thinking I need

835
00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:05.000
<v Speaker 2>to be putting hto in my body and I've noticed

836
00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:09.000
<v Speaker 2>my my hydration slipping a little bit. Talk a little

837
00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:11.239
<v Speaker 2>bit about how like, I mean, when do people what

838
00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:14.320
<v Speaker 2>are some signs that maybe somebody who doesn't give it

839
00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:17.199
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot of thought that would realize, Okay, maybe

840
00:38:17.199 --> 00:38:18.920
<v Speaker 2>that maybe it is the fact that I'm dehydrated. Is

841
00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:21.519
<v Speaker 2>it being lethargic, is it just being tired? I mean,

842
00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure there are some plenty signs, but hydration is

843
00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:26.119
<v Speaker 2>always important. But whenever you're not active and you're not

844
00:38:26.199 --> 00:38:28.719
<v Speaker 2>out there sweating and just making I need water, I

845
00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:31.079
<v Speaker 2>mean you still do You still need to hydrate regardless.

846
00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:34.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, even more so because the symptoms are different. You know,

847
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:36.880
<v Speaker 5>you think of in this summer, when you're hot, you

848
00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:38.880
<v Speaker 5>know that you know the symptoms, you're you know, you've

849
00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:41.599
<v Speaker 5>sweat a lot, you're you know, you start to get very,

850
00:38:41.719 --> 00:38:44.559
<v Speaker 5>very thirsty, much different than winter. I think the first

851
00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:46.880
<v Speaker 5>and foremost is what is your skin like? Do you

852
00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:49.519
<v Speaker 5>have chapped lips for example? That is a key sign.

853
00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:52.360
<v Speaker 5>Dry skin would be, you know, a sign that you're dehydrated.

854
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:52.760
<v Speaker 3>It makes sense.

855
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:55.039
<v Speaker 5>A little bit of fatigue, a little bit of headache,

856
00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:57.440
<v Speaker 5>you know. I tell people you better have a clear

857
00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:00.960
<v Speaker 5>year in If you're seeing darker urine in the winter,

858
00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:04.599
<v Speaker 5>it's not a good sign. Keep that water going. Lots

859
00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:08.440
<v Speaker 5>of soups, stews, warm hydration options. I'm a big fan

860
00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:12.079
<v Speaker 5>of layering clothing, even indoor if you're getting ready to

861
00:39:12.079 --> 00:39:15.039
<v Speaker 5>do some physical activity, I think it's better to warming

862
00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:18.639
<v Speaker 5>your body because you know the natural ambient temperature is cold,

863
00:39:18.639 --> 00:39:21.840
<v Speaker 5>you're gonna have cold muscles. And keep with the drinking. Man,

864
00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:24.400
<v Speaker 5>You got to keep with the hydrators. Avoid a lot

865
00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:27.320
<v Speaker 5>of caffeine, avoid a lot of alcohol, and again, monitor

866
00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:30.079
<v Speaker 5>those key symptoms of your skin, how you're feeling in

867
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:33.360
<v Speaker 5>terms of your metal state, hate and fatigue, and you

868
00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:36.199
<v Speaker 5>know what your urine looks like. But it's we see

869
00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:40.159
<v Speaker 5>more dehydration problems in the winter than we do in

870
00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:41.960
<v Speaker 5>the summer. And that where you notice it is on

871
00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:46.679
<v Speaker 5>older people because they're they're likely less inclined to monitor

872
00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:48.039
<v Speaker 5>it because they're not sweating.

873
00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Yep, that makes total sense. I would have never thought

874
00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:52.039
<v Speaker 2>of it, but yes, it's not on your mind quite

875
00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:53.920
<v Speaker 2>as much. But man, hydration is key. There's some times

876
00:39:53.960 --> 00:39:55.480
<v Speaker 2>where I'm just feeling man, I don't I don't feel

877
00:39:55.480 --> 00:39:57.639
<v Speaker 2>one hundred percent, And what it ends up most likely

878
00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:00.719
<v Speaker 2>being is I just wasn't hydrated. Hydra to certainly keep

879
00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:02.519
<v Speaker 2>it Larry, as always, I appreciate you making time for

00:40:33.119 --> 00:40:35.360
<v Speaker 4>It's about like three and a half maybe four hours.

894
00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:38.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I really feel I mean, you know, I'm sure

895
00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:40.480
<v Speaker 2>I've said many things today that didn't make me seem

896
00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:43.920
<v Speaker 2>like the smartest guy, but I really did completely lose

897
00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:46.960
<v Speaker 2>lose sight of where we'll be tonight and what's going

898
00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:49.599
<v Speaker 2>on tonight in that city. Now the event's not taking place,

899
00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:51.239
<v Speaker 2>but Ohio State playing for a chance to get back

900
00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:53.880
<v Speaker 2>to the national Championship game, and I'm going to be

901
00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:59.400
<v Speaker 2>making Columbus my home for the evening and then we're

902
00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:03.280
<v Speaker 2>heading to Pittsburgh tomorrow. It feels awesome to have Louisville

903
00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:08.119
<v Speaker 2>Basketball one just alive and competing and winning and a man,

904
00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:09.960
<v Speaker 2>this has been a fun team to certainly watch and

905
00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:12.840
<v Speaker 2>root on, but you know, they got a big game

906
00:41:12.880 --> 00:41:14.480
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow that would have a lot of value, that would

907
00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:15.760
<v Speaker 2>really kind of change how we look at the rest

908
00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:17.599
<v Speaker 2>of the season. And again it's gonna be easier said

909
00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:20.639
<v Speaker 2>than done. They could play well and lose, but they've

910
00:41:20.679 --> 00:41:23.480
<v Speaker 2>got some momentum and I can't wait. I can't wait

911
00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:26.199
<v Speaker 2>for the whole weekend NFL playoffs. It's a night's game,

912
00:41:26.199 --> 00:41:28.800
<v Speaker 2>of course, so everybody have themselves a good weekend, stay warm,

913
00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:30.559
<v Speaker 2>stay safe. We're back at it on Monday, right here

914
00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:39.320
<v Speaker 2>on Sports Talk seven ninety
