00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.

3
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:25.960
<v Speaker 2>So I was looking at some of these Teddy Bridgewater

4
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:29.839
<v Speaker 2>highlights that are being shared all over social media by

5
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:34.799
<v Speaker 2>the UFL social media accounts because they are honoring Teddy tomorrow.

6
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:37.960
<v Speaker 3>Just a reminder how special he was.

7
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:40.039
<v Speaker 2>You know, I don't even know for sure where he

8
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:42.320
<v Speaker 2>ranks when it comes to like the record books and whatnot,

9
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.759
<v Speaker 2>but certainly a talented guy, no doubt about that. And

10
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:49.880
<v Speaker 2>there was just and there's other quarterbacks that Louisville has

11
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:51.719
<v Speaker 2>had where you could say the same thing, but with

12
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.079
<v Speaker 2>Teddy it was a little bit different. He just felt

13
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:56.880
<v Speaker 2>confident that he was gonna always come through for you,

14
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.119
<v Speaker 2>even if he had one leg like he did at

15
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.399
<v Speaker 2>times when he was playing injured, would always make it work.

16
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:06.239
<v Speaker 2>Just a gamer, a guy that isn't the most vocal guy,

17
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.239
<v Speaker 2>at least not that I can remember. I mean, it

18
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:10.079
<v Speaker 2>wasn't as if he was, you know, he was silent,

19
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.560
<v Speaker 2>but he was a really good leader with the way

20
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.319
<v Speaker 2>he carried himself. And it was something to see, you know,

21
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>a freshman that gets a chance to become your starter

22
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:19.920
<v Speaker 2>early on in the year because of an injury to

23
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.319
<v Speaker 2>will Stein, who, of course is now one of the

24
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.719
<v Speaker 2>hottest OC's in college football at Oregon. But you know,

25
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 2>Teddy became the leader of this team at an early

26
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.120
<v Speaker 2>age of this program and put together a hell of

27
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:34.879
<v Speaker 2>a run, and no doubt he's deserving to be honored here.

28
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.120
<v Speaker 2>He retired from the NFL last year. Nice coach in

29
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.760
<v Speaker 2>high school football, but it's gonna be nice to have

30
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>him back there. And it is fitting that it's happening

31
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:44.159
<v Speaker 2>against Miami. You know, Teddy was going to be going

32
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:46.799
<v Speaker 2>to Miami. He's from Miami, and there was a change

33
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.560
<v Speaker 2>made where they got rid of Randy Shannon, and that

34
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:52.359
<v Speaker 2>gave Charlie Strong and Clint Heard the opportunity to really

35
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.400
<v Speaker 2>sell what they're doing, what their vision is at Louisville,

36
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:58.439
<v Speaker 2>and you know, Teddy, Teddy took a chance. I mean,

37
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.519
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't the highest rate quarterback in the country that year,

38
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.959
<v Speaker 2>but certainly a highly ranked guy, one of the higher

39
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.159
<v Speaker 2>ranked guys probably that Louisville had ever landed, especially considering

40
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:11.199
<v Speaker 2>that you know, they were coming off of a terrible

41
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:14.159
<v Speaker 2>stretch when the Crackthorpe era and you know, Charlie was

42
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:18.680
<v Speaker 2>just getting started. So you know, Teddy, he came to Louisville,

43
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:24.199
<v Speaker 2>you know before it was cool like Brom did back day,

44
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.479
<v Speaker 2>and there was an obvious connection there. Why Brom, I

45
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.520
<v Speaker 2>mean beating Jeff and Brian came to Louisville because of

46
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 2>you know, the the first family of louisvill football. Their

47
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 2>father was a quarterback here many many years ago. You

48
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.199
<v Speaker 2>know that that's a big factor. And with Teddy, I

49
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.039
<v Speaker 2>guess his big factor. You know, the big, big thing

50
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:41.599
<v Speaker 2>for him was that he really did believe in what

51
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.479
<v Speaker 2>Charlie Strong and it was was selling it and it

52
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.719
<v Speaker 2>paid off. But you know, you don't land guys like

53
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.159
<v Speaker 2>Lamar Jackson without the era that was Louisville football under

54
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Charlie Strong. And I have no problem with anybody who

55
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 2>doesn't necessarily view it as the Charlie Strong era. Maybe

56
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:58.719
<v Speaker 2>you view it as the Teddy Bridgewater era. But either way,

57
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, Eddy made such an impact. It's such a

58
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:06.719
<v Speaker 2>big time for Louisville. And you know, I've been in

59
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:10.759
<v Speaker 2>this space in some former fashion, meaning media coverage and

60
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:13.919
<v Speaker 2>whatnot before I got a chance to do radio, and

61
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:15.639
<v Speaker 2>even before I got a chance to make radio my

62
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.719
<v Speaker 2>full time career. You know, I covered the team, had

63
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.680
<v Speaker 2>my own website and whatnot, and I feel like, you know,

64
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.960
<v Speaker 2>that started around twenty ten. Whenever, whenever I first you know,

65
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:30.479
<v Speaker 2>decided to, you know, take take a leap of faith

66
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:31.879
<v Speaker 2>and try to you know, I never thought of a

67
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 2>turn into what it's turned into. But at that time

68
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:37.000
<v Speaker 2>I remember, you know, Teddy was like the first person

69
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.759
<v Speaker 2>that I remember writing about covering to where he was

70
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:41.759
<v Speaker 2>like a celebrity, like not just a good player that

71
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:43.560
<v Speaker 2>played for Louisville. And there's clearly a lot of Louisville

72
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:45.599
<v Speaker 2>fans and it's a passionate fan base, but like Teddy,

73
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.400
<v Speaker 2>he kind of had that larger than life feeling about him.

74
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.479
<v Speaker 2>And it wasn't because he was super animated or he

75
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.800
<v Speaker 2>was a guy that had this humongous personality that she

76
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:56.680
<v Speaker 2>got to see, but he was a really lovable guy

77
00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:59.879
<v Speaker 2>who you know, was a damn good player.

78
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:00.439
<v Speaker 3>Kept to him.

79
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he was pretty private, to be honest with you,

80
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:06.719
<v Speaker 2>but definitely a special era when Teddy was here. And

81
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:08.639
<v Speaker 2>it's nice not only that he's going to be here

82
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow to get his jersey honor, but also he's bringing

83
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 2>some recruits with him. I mentioned this earlier in the show,

84
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.719
<v Speaker 2>but there are two elite recruits that play for Teddy

85
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.079
<v Speaker 2>Bridgewater at Miami Northwestern High School where he's now the

86
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.199
<v Speaker 2>head coach, that are going to be in tomorrow for

87
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:22.879
<v Speaker 2>the visit. So you know, I'm sure these are guys

88
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:24.959
<v Speaker 2>that Miami would like to keep in their backyard. But

89
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe them being here and Teddy's influence, you know, maybe

90
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.600
<v Speaker 2>that could could help coach bram out. All right, it

91
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 2>is our number three of the five o'clock hour as

92
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:34.040
<v Speaker 2>we get you set for the weekend coffee and company,

93
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.279
<v Speaker 2>fueled by Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven and nine.

94
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:39.680
<v Speaker 2>He'd been a busy show thus far. Obviously, this matchup

95
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:43.079
<v Speaker 2>with Louisville in Miami tomorrow, we haven't talked a ton

96
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.160
<v Speaker 2>about it. I mean, it's certainly been a talking point

97
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:46.759
<v Speaker 2>here and there, But I'm to the point now where

98
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.519
<v Speaker 2>anything I just throw out there is probably something you've

99
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 2>heard me say more than once throughout the week, because

100
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I think it's pretty clear Louisville, if they are the

101
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.399
<v Speaker 2>same team that we've seen all year, that can find

102
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:04.160
<v Speaker 2>themselves making crucial mistakes at the worst time. And to

103
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.839
<v Speaker 2>be fair, somebody called me out on this yesterday, and

104
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 2>you're probably right. I didn't go back and do a

105
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:11.959
<v Speaker 2>deep dive to see if you were correct or I

106
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:14.879
<v Speaker 2>was correct. But maybe it's not the amount of mistakes

107
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.079
<v Speaker 2>in certain games, it's about when they happen and how

108
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.319
<v Speaker 2>critical the timing is. I mean that certainly seemed like

109
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 2>that against Virginia, where you'd get a silly penalty even

110
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.040
<v Speaker 2>if it's a good, bad call, whatever, if it's a

111
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 2>guy reacting to somebody initially, or it's Chris Bell just

112
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 2>making a boneheaded mistake and doing something you can't do

113
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.959
<v Speaker 2>with the unsportsmanlike conduct. Those are things you never want

114
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:35.560
<v Speaker 2>to happen, but it seems as if they've been happening

115
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>at the worst time and you never want to do it.

116
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:40.120
<v Speaker 2>But if you do it in a moment where like

117
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:41.800
<v Speaker 2>it's quite clear, hey, we're about to snap the ball

118
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:43.480
<v Speaker 2>or they're about to snap the ball and this is

119
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.240
<v Speaker 2>a big play, like you need to be focused, in

120
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 2>disciplined and not do things like that. So the Notre

121
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Dame game is the one where I'm not going to

122
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:53.519
<v Speaker 2>back down as far as the amount of mistakes. They

123
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:56.319
<v Speaker 2>made a ton of huge mistakes that you just can't

124
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.079
<v Speaker 2>make not only the players, but like even Jeff with

125
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.920
<v Speaker 2>some of his decisions on those fourth down calls. So

126
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:04.720
<v Speaker 2>it's not like I'm telling you this won't happen and

127
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.720
<v Speaker 2>that it's impossible. But six games in Louisville has an identity.

128
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:09.879
<v Speaker 2>They've been pretty consistent, if I'm being honest. It's not

129
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.120
<v Speaker 2>like they're inconsistent. No, they're consistent. They show how good

130
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:15.759
<v Speaker 2>their offense can be at times, and their defense still

131
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.120
<v Speaker 2>is making timely plays. I mean, SMU got them pretty good,

132
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 2>but other than that, the defense has been able to

133
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:23.879
<v Speaker 2>settle in. I wish they could start a little better

134
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:25.920
<v Speaker 2>than they have in these last few weeks. But either way,

135
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.759
<v Speaker 2>this team, it's not about ability, it's not about talent.

136
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:35.040
<v Speaker 2>It's about just, you know, being more disciplined and avoiding

137
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:38.160
<v Speaker 2>critical mistakes that come in terrible times. And those are

138
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.720
<v Speaker 2>things that you would think are easy to fix, but

139
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:44.399
<v Speaker 2>they haven't fixed it yet. They didn't crumble enough last

140
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.439
<v Speaker 2>week to have a bad loss on the road a Virginia,

141
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:49.399
<v Speaker 2>but let's be real, they easily could have. Like it

142
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:51.079
<v Speaker 2>was right there. It wasn't like they won that game

143
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:54.040
<v Speaker 2>with a whole lot of cushion. So they need to

144
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:55.959
<v Speaker 2>be a different team than they've been all year in

145
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.199
<v Speaker 2>my opinion, to win this game against Miami. And yes,

146
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:01.920
<v Speaker 2>that's possible. It's not like we're asking the bulk of

147
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.000
<v Speaker 2>the guys who see most of the reps to go

148
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:08.959
<v Speaker 2>out there and improve their individual ability substantially. I mean,

149
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:10.439
<v Speaker 2>you need the old line to really bring it because

150
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:12.319
<v Speaker 2>they're going to be in for a long day going

151
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:16.959
<v Speaker 2>up against that Miami front. But it's just about, you know,

152
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:23.720
<v Speaker 2>avoiding the avoidable mistakes. And it's such a cliche, but like,

153
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, you got to think that the Miami's the

154
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:28.439
<v Speaker 2>kind of team that like, if you have if you

155
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.040
<v Speaker 2>lose the turnover battle, that's one of those things where

156
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:32.480
<v Speaker 2>you got to think, like, yeah, you do that against

157
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.639
<v Speaker 2>the top six team that's got a guy named Cambard

158
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:36.720
<v Speaker 2>at quarterback who's one of the best in the country,

159
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:39.160
<v Speaker 2>going to be potentially tough to really come back from that.

160
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:42.439
<v Speaker 2>So it's not just that I you know, I know

161
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:44.199
<v Speaker 2>at times I've sounded as if like I just don't

162
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:45.800
<v Speaker 2>believe and they can't do it. No, it's not that

163
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:48.480
<v Speaker 2>it's just I haven't seen it yet. Therefore it's hard

164
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.079
<v Speaker 2>for me to just tell you that I expect it

165
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.839
<v Speaker 2>to happen, it'd be a much different situation and now

166
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.560
<v Speaker 2>would be a little more pessimistic if I felt like

167
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:57.959
<v Speaker 2>they didn't have the ability to go do it and

168
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.839
<v Speaker 2>it was just based off of personnel and maybe learn that, right,

169
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:02.680
<v Speaker 2>maybe tomorrow is a day where you think, Okay, yeah,

170
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.560
<v Speaker 2>we thought we had some really good players, and they

171
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.720
<v Speaker 2>are pretty good to us, but this Miami team's just

172
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 2>different when it comes to talent. We'll see and usually

173
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:15.000
<v Speaker 2>one of the reasons why I hesitate to do, like,

174
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:17.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, keys of the Game kind of stuff, just

175
00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:19.360
<v Speaker 2>is because you never know what's gonna happen in a game.

176
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:22.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, sometimes these things play out not only results

177
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:25.639
<v Speaker 2>wise differently than any of us expected, but I mean,

178
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:27.480
<v Speaker 2>like scenarios, you just never know what's gonna happen in

179
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:30.879
<v Speaker 2>a football game. But from what we've seen of both teams,

180
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean for Louisville, again, avoiding the avoidable mistakes is

181
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:36.360
<v Speaker 2>going to be crucial. But I think you really need

182
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:40.639
<v Speaker 2>to have some good balance offensively, and that starts up front, right.

183
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think if Isaac Brown is able to

184
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, establish the run game pretty early, not maybe

185
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:48.200
<v Speaker 2>take one to the house, but at least you know,

186
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.840
<v Speaker 2>put you in second and third and short pretty frequently

187
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:53.360
<v Speaker 2>on your first couple of jobs, and you're moving the

188
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:55.519
<v Speaker 2>ball down the field when you've got good balance. That's

189
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.799
<v Speaker 2>where Jeff can really shine as a play caller. So

190
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.360
<v Speaker 2>I getting, you know, the running game going as best

191
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:06.240
<v Speaker 2>you can. Giving Tyler shuck maybe I don't know, just

192
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:08.519
<v Speaker 2>a second more than he's been typically getting in the

193
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:10.960
<v Speaker 2>pocket like that could that could go a long way,

194
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:13.320
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not I don't. I don't worry about Louisville

195
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:15.480
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to the skill position players and their talent.

196
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:17.559
<v Speaker 2>And to be honest with you, I've been hard on

197
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:19.240
<v Speaker 2>the offensive line because I do think it's safe to

198
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:21.159
<v Speaker 2>say that they probably are the weakness of this team.

199
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:22.960
<v Speaker 2>But it's not to a point where you're like, well,

200
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:26.639
<v Speaker 2>you know what, this offense has so many good players

201
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:29.960
<v Speaker 2>at you know, receiver, running back, tight end with Jamori Johnson.

202
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Your quarterback's good, but it doesn't matter because your O

203
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:34.240
<v Speaker 2>line is so bad. It's not that at all. It's just,

204
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:37.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, they're clearly not great, but you can scheme

205
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:40.080
<v Speaker 2>around it. You can, and I hope that they do

206
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:45.399
<v Speaker 2>now on defense. I would imagine if you start the

207
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:47.159
<v Speaker 2>way you have in the last couple of games, that

208
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:49.960
<v Speaker 2>would be far from ideal because what you want here

209
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:53.639
<v Speaker 2>is to early on really establish that momentum, take advantage

210
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.639
<v Speaker 2>of your sold out crowd, do something to get them

211
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:58.879
<v Speaker 2>loud to where you could put Miami on their heels

212
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:01.159
<v Speaker 2>and kind of see how they spawn. Now, technically, they

213
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.559
<v Speaker 2>have responded pretty well in the last two games they've

214
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:05.600
<v Speaker 2>had where they've had their back against the wall, but

215
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:07.200
<v Speaker 2>you got to think of maybe that runs out at

216
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.360
<v Speaker 2>some point, right, I mean, maybe maybe maybe they maybe

217
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:12.360
<v Speaker 2>they are eventually just due for a loss when they've

218
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:15.320
<v Speaker 2>got to climb out of a hole. And if the defense,

219
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:18.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, does anything like they did against SMU, where

220
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:22.000
<v Speaker 2>they've got effortless drives in the first two first two possessions,

221
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's that's a recipe for a disaster in

222
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:26.440
<v Speaker 2>my opinion, because you don't want to have to play

223
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:29.360
<v Speaker 2>from behind with this team and with the way your defense.

224
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:31.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean, again, the defense has made some timely plays

225
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.399
<v Speaker 2>and they've settled in during games, but we also know

226
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:35.840
<v Speaker 2>that at any moment they could have a goof and

227
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:38.480
<v Speaker 2>give up a huge play and give up a score,

228
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:44.519
<v Speaker 2>So you know, I I think more than anything. And again,

229
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:47.240
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of factors that are are are I

230
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:50.120
<v Speaker 2>think are important here for Louisville. But a good start,

231
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:52.919
<v Speaker 2>I feel like is really really crucial. It doesn't mean

232
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:54.320
<v Speaker 2>that if they come out and they've got a bad

233
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:57.159
<v Speaker 2>start and they get down ten nothing that they can't

234
00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:59.080
<v Speaker 2>bounce back and find a way to win. You really

235
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:02.039
<v Speaker 2>never know, but I just I would be you know,

236
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:06.519
<v Speaker 2>I think the recipe if there is one to pull

237
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:09.879
<v Speaker 2>off this win, I think a good start, maybe not

238
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:11.960
<v Speaker 2>maybe not a good start where you come out you're

239
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:14.080
<v Speaker 2>up fourteen to nothing or something like that because of

240
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:16.639
<v Speaker 2>an early score and you capitalized on a turnover. I mean,

241
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:18.360
<v Speaker 2>I would that would be ideal.

242
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:18.919
<v Speaker 3>That'd be great.

243
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:20.600
<v Speaker 2>But I'm not saying you have to have that. I

244
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:22.879
<v Speaker 2>just you don't need to start where they come in

245
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:25.000
<v Speaker 2>and they're comfortable right out of the gate and the

246
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:27.679
<v Speaker 2>energy in the in the stadium is not what you

247
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:29.279
<v Speaker 2>want it to be where you can take advantage of

248
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:32.279
<v Speaker 2>a full house. But we've got you covered tomorrow. So again,

249
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:34.559
<v Speaker 2>nude kickoff, meaning our pregame show is going to start

250
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:36.919
<v Speaker 2>at eleven. The Louisville Football pregame show fors in about

251
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:40.279
<v Speaker 2>Pellow Windows and Doors of Central Kentucky and Jefferson Animal Hospital.

252
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:42.440
<v Speaker 2>We'll go up until noon, rite at kickoff, and then

253
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:44.080
<v Speaker 2>as soon as it ends, we'll go live once again

254
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:47.320
<v Speaker 2>reacting to whatever it is that happens in the Louisville

255
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:51.399
<v Speaker 2>Football postgame show presented by Alex R. Whitelawyer's suit Distracted

256
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:53.039
<v Speaker 2>Driver dot Com. I was about to say Peow Windows

257
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:54.679
<v Speaker 2>and Doors, but no, they're the They're the sponsor for

258
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:56.960
<v Speaker 2>our our pregame show, and we appreciate all our sponsors

259
00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:59.879
<v Speaker 2>that have helped make this coverage possible so far this

260
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.120
<v Speaker 2>this season. We also talked about the Tony Bennett decision

261
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.480
<v Speaker 2>to retire, and I think, you know, what's happening here

262
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.440
<v Speaker 2>is really pretty simple, and it's another opportunity for me

263
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:14.360
<v Speaker 2>to say something I say probably too often. Both things

264
00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:18.879
<v Speaker 2>can be true. Not everything has to be right or wrong.

265
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:22.600
<v Speaker 2>You're way off and I'm correct or completely to the

266
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:24.159
<v Speaker 2>left side or the right side, or I'm not even

267
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.480
<v Speaker 2>talking politics, you know whatever, up down, whatever. But you

268
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:30.399
<v Speaker 2>can give him the benefit of the doubt that like,

269
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.960
<v Speaker 2>he's not a scumbag, because I think he's probably I mean,

270
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:35.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you get the reputation that Tony Binn

271
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.000
<v Speaker 2>has and it's all luck or you know, people who

272
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:40.480
<v Speaker 2>just are looking out for you. I think he probably

273
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:44.480
<v Speaker 2>is a pretty good dude, and he's just you know,

274
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.559
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't want, he doesn't have his mind's not in

275
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:50.960
<v Speaker 2>the right place anymore to do that job, given how

276
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:52.879
<v Speaker 2>much the job has changed.

277
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:55.120
<v Speaker 3>So like that that's true.

278
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:59.440
<v Speaker 2>But also, yeah, he clearly he put a plan in

279
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:03.600
<v Speaker 2>motion to where there was no option for Virginia other

280
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.279
<v Speaker 2>than the option that I mean, the only option they

281
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:07.120
<v Speaker 2>had was to give the job for this year to

282
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:09.679
<v Speaker 2>his top assistant. Sanchez. Is that his name?

283
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:11.320
<v Speaker 3>I think I think that's it.

284
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:12.960
<v Speaker 4>Maybe Ron Sanchez, Yeah.

285
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:15.679
<v Speaker 2>Ron Sanchez. So you know a lot of coaches do that.

286
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:19.200
<v Speaker 2>That's not that uncommon. But what I find is that,

287
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:21.200
<v Speaker 2>like there's people who love Tony Bennett so much and

288
00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:22.840
<v Speaker 2>think he's such a great guy. They think he's the

289
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.559
<v Speaker 2>best thing that ever happened to college basketball as as

290
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:29.720
<v Speaker 2>a dude that they like, they won't acknowledge that both

291
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:31.879
<v Speaker 2>those things are true. Yeah, he doesn't mean he's a

292
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:34.679
<v Speaker 2>terrible human being, and his his legacy, his legacy is

293
00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:36.840
<v Speaker 2>going to be tarnished because of the timing of this move.

294
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:40.159
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, like anybody claiming that this wasn't a timing

295
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:42.559
<v Speaker 2>thing to where he wanted to make sure his guy

296
00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:46.240
<v Speaker 2>got an opportunity, you're you're naive, like you're lying to yourself.

297
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:50.639
<v Speaker 2>And I've said this, I feel like for years now,

298
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:53.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean relatively early in this new world of the

299
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:58.679
<v Speaker 2>nil era in the portal. But I just have I'm losing,

300
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:02.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm losing the ability to even stomach people

301
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:05.840
<v Speaker 2>giving pity to these coaches and being sad for them,

302
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.200
<v Speaker 2>as if their life is so hard, and I mean

303
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.000
<v Speaker 2>it's it's I mean, I know that what they do

304
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:14.919
<v Speaker 2>is not at all relatable to what most of us do.

305
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.399
<v Speaker 2>It's like I know that, but still, how about some awareness.

306
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Not only do those that cover college basketball at the

307
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:22.960
<v Speaker 2>very top that are defending these coaches as if, oh

308
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:24.919
<v Speaker 2>my god, the NCAA's just got to fix it because

309
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:26.679
<v Speaker 2>all these legends they just can't do it anymore.

310
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:29.879
<v Speaker 3>It's just too hard. I mean, it makes me sick.

311
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, just an ounce of self awareness as far

312
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:37.679
<v Speaker 2>as the over, like these coaches have the best situations

313
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:40.639
<v Speaker 2>in America, seemingly where they can work a job that

314
00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:43.080
<v Speaker 2>pays them an insane amount of money and they can

315
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:45.279
<v Speaker 2>be awful at it and it doesn't have any impact

316
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:49.399
<v Speaker 2>on them creating potential generational wealth for themselves.

317
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.600
<v Speaker 3>So like, I don't know about you or what you do.

318
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:54.039
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you know, maybe you do have a job to

319
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.000
<v Speaker 2>where it's been the same thing for fifty years and

320
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:59.919
<v Speaker 2>then you retire. But things evolve over time, like life

321
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:03.039
<v Speaker 2>changes a lot. I mean, this job now, what I

322
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:06.000
<v Speaker 2>do is way different than it was when I first started,

323
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:08.159
<v Speaker 2>as far as just the digital aspect of it. I mean,

324
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:12.559
<v Speaker 2>things change. So yeah, we can acknowledge that, yes, this job.

325
00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:16.559
<v Speaker 2>You're still coaching basketball, but it's different, and you're still

326
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:19.720
<v Speaker 2>coaching football, but it's different. These guys are not dudes

327
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:23.720
<v Speaker 2>that you can, you know, just treat the way. And

328
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:25.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't mean that you were abusing them or that

329
00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:28.759
<v Speaker 2>they were victims, but like, yeah, they're employees. They have options.

330
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:30.600
<v Speaker 2>If they don't like working for you, they'll go work

331
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:32.399
<v Speaker 2>for somebody else. And they have the power to do

332
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:34.440
<v Speaker 2>that now. And it makes it to where you've got

333
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:37.000
<v Speaker 2>to adjust. You've got to adapt to this new world.

334
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:38.559
<v Speaker 2>And if coaches don't want to do it, that's fine.

335
00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:40.399
<v Speaker 2>But to paint it out there as if like, oh,

336
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:45.000
<v Speaker 2>they're victims. It's it's hilarious to be honest with you,

337
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:49.080
<v Speaker 2>because it just reminds you that coaches don't realize, like

338
00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:52.759
<v Speaker 2>them complaining about anything like is it just to me?

339
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:55.639
<v Speaker 2>It falls flat? I mean last week it was James

340
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Franklin they were traveling. Did they go to UCLA last

341
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:02.240
<v Speaker 2>week or was it yeah, usc, I know they went

342
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:07.440
<v Speaker 2>to to LA And he was, you know, not being

343
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.080
<v Speaker 2>like a completely you know, he wouldn't be in a

344
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:13.919
<v Speaker 2>complete whiny you know what, but just really making it

345
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:16.840
<v Speaker 2>a point in his press conference to emphasize that they

346
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:22.720
<v Speaker 2>had to travel. They something about the airport in you know,

347
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:25.879
<v Speaker 2>where Penn State's located. It's obviously just a college town.

348
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:30.960
<v Speaker 2>They had to travel to like a different I don't know. Yeah,

349
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:34.080
<v Speaker 2>here's what it was. The trip is so far from

350
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.240
<v Speaker 2>what they usually travel, meaning Penn State, that they had

351
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:39.519
<v Speaker 2>to go to a different airport to get like a

352
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:42.399
<v Speaker 2>different to get on a different plane than they typically

353
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:47.000
<v Speaker 2>take because of fuel, Like usually they can fly without

354
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:49.080
<v Speaker 2>needing to refuel on their plane, but they had to

355
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:50.840
<v Speaker 2>go to a different airport because now they're going to

356
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:54.360
<v Speaker 2>be making a much further trip, and you know, yeah,

357
00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:56.600
<v Speaker 2>that's probably something that that's different. But you know what,

358
00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:59.320
<v Speaker 2>the Big ten has a lot more value from a

359
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:02.559
<v Speaker 2>from a financial standpoint because you are now on the

360
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.880
<v Speaker 2>West coast and like the fact that you have to

361
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:06.480
<v Speaker 2>add and you know, you had to go stay at

362
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:10.039
<v Speaker 2>a hotel and like, is Huntington Pennsylvania town? I feel

363
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:11.240
<v Speaker 2>like he said that, but I don't know if that's

364
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:14.039
<v Speaker 2>a real place, but there was somewhere in Pennsylvania they

365
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:15.799
<v Speaker 2>had to go travel to to get on the plane.

366
00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:18.119
<v Speaker 3>And he presented it as if like, you know, we're

367
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:18.759
<v Speaker 3>dealing with it.

368
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:21.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's it's it's I mean, it's you know,

369
00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:23.559
<v Speaker 2>it's just something people need to keep in mind. Maybe

370
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:26.000
<v Speaker 2>we do make some some changes to the airport here

371
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:29.640
<v Speaker 2>in where where's pennsdas can drive me crazy? University Park,

372
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.519
<v Speaker 2>it's very town though, State College.

373
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:34.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's the same thing.

374
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:35.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

375
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:39.400
<v Speaker 2>So again, nobody's telling you that it's not different and

376
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:41.759
<v Speaker 2>that you aren't having to make some adjustments and adapt

377
00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:45.400
<v Speaker 2>But man, welcome to the world. That's the world for

378
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:49.960
<v Speaker 2>just about everybody but you. And to present it as

379
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:53.279
<v Speaker 2>if it's some hardship, like with all due respect, go

380
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:53.640
<v Speaker 2>to hell?

381
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:55.759
<v Speaker 3>Can you say that?

382
00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:57.759
<v Speaker 2>Can you tell somebody to respectfully go to hell? There's

383
00:17:57.759 --> 00:17:59.559
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things you can say to people if

384
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:01.839
<v Speaker 2>you put the with respect on the front of it,

385
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:06.039
<v Speaker 2>or you say, hey, no disrespect, but like it's quite

386
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:08.559
<v Speaker 2>clear you're about to say something potentially disrespectful. But to

387
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:09.799
<v Speaker 2>go into hell, I don't even know.

388
00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:12.640
<v Speaker 4>If I can respectfully pushed to hell.

389
00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Like I'm in hell now, but but I'm here with

390
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:19.359
<v Speaker 2>somebody sending me down here with respect? Like does that

391
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:21.920
<v Speaker 2>help my does that that? Does that make my situation different?

392
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:25.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, yeah, something like that. But anyways, all right,

393
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:26.880
<v Speaker 2>we're going to talk about our picks coming up here

394
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:28.920
<v Speaker 2>in uh in just a couple of minutes. John and

395
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:30.440
<v Speaker 2>I are because there's a lot of really good games.

396
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.160
<v Speaker 2>I will admit earlier this week I was looking at

397
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:34.880
<v Speaker 2>what was out there as far as uh, you know,

398
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:38.480
<v Speaker 2>big matchups, and I started to form some opinions on

399
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:40.279
<v Speaker 2>what I think is going to happen, and obviously that

400
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:43.480
<v Speaker 2>helps me make these wagers. But lately, in the last

401
00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:46.359
<v Speaker 2>couple of days, I've just been so geared up for

402
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:50.240
<v Speaker 2>this Miami matchup, and I'm hoping Louisville can pull off

403
00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:53.440
<v Speaker 2>a big victory. I'm not even that called that's right,

404
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:54.960
<v Speaker 2>big game Bro. I'm not even gonna call it like

405
00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:57.440
<v Speaker 2>a big upset, because I mean it would be an upset.

406
00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:59.000
<v Speaker 2>They are underdogs, but like it's not like they got

407
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:01.279
<v Speaker 2>to go out here and knock off, you know, one

408
00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:03.559
<v Speaker 2>of the best teams that we've ever seen in college football.

409
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:05.279
<v Speaker 2>They're knocking off a team that they beat last year.

410
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:07.400
<v Speaker 2>And yes they're different, they're better this year. But you're

411
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:12.759
<v Speaker 2>at home and you said it again, you saying big game, Brom.

412
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:16.480
<v Speaker 2>It gets me going, John, and not to make it weird,

413
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:18.440
<v Speaker 2>but I'm just being honest with you. Big game Brom.

414
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:20.519
<v Speaker 2>That's what we need tomorrow, and I'm hoping that's what

415
00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:22.640
<v Speaker 2>we get. Don't go anywhere. It's coffee and company. We

416
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:25.160
<v Speaker 2>are fuel about Thornton's right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

417
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:29.519
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned this earlier, but I would say that one

418
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:31.400
<v Speaker 2>of the reasons why you just don't seem to hear

419
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:33.799
<v Speaker 2>as many Kentucky fans talking about their matchup with Florida

420
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:37.559
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow is a couple of things. One, they're coming off

421
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:39.759
<v Speaker 2>a lost to Andy, so I think they may not

422
00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:43.160
<v Speaker 2>have a whole lot of confidence right now. But also

423
00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:45.400
<v Speaker 2>they've got their Blue White game tonight, which it's the

424
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:47.599
<v Speaker 2>first Blue White game of the Mark Pope era, and clearly,

425
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:50.000
<v Speaker 2>just like Louisville fans, they're excited about this new era,

426
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:54.200
<v Speaker 2>and they're probably and I want to act like they've

427
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:57.680
<v Speaker 2>just shifted all their attention to basketball and they don't

428
00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:59.440
<v Speaker 2>care about football anymore. Mean maybe that maybe that'll be

429
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:01.359
<v Speaker 2>the case if they whos tomorrow or something like that.

430
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:04.559
<v Speaker 2>But one thing that I that I'm a little confused on,

431
00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:06.839
<v Speaker 2>and I may I may have gotten an answer. You

432
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:10.160
<v Speaker 2>never know what's true on Twitter or whatnot. But the

433
00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:14.640
<v Speaker 2>UK official I don't know if it's their IMG account,

434
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:18.680
<v Speaker 2>it's the UK Sports Network. They're reminding people that there

435
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:22.160
<v Speaker 2>will be no there'll be no games shown tonight on TV.

436
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:24.400
<v Speaker 2>So what they're gonna do is they're gonna have a

437
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:27.599
<v Speaker 2>radio broadcast that we'll call the Action and a live

438
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:32.559
<v Speaker 2>stream somewhere, but it's gonna feature guests, and it's gonna

439
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:35.480
<v Speaker 2>preview this season. It's not actually gonna show anything from

440
00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:40.599
<v Speaker 2>their Blue White scrimmage. And you know, just like the

441
00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:45.119
<v Speaker 2>Louisville Live event not being televised, people get pissed and

442
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:50.279
<v Speaker 2>sometimes it's because they just choose not to televise these

443
00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:52.799
<v Speaker 2>events different schools because they want to make sure that

444
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:54.480
<v Speaker 2>they have enough people that realize, if you want to

445
00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:56.880
<v Speaker 2>see it, you got to show up. And the Louisville

446
00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:59.279
<v Speaker 2>Live thing, if you remember it was, it was available

447
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:01.000
<v Speaker 2>to watch after the fact. I don't and I don't.

448
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:02.480
<v Speaker 2>I never got and I don't care it didn't get.

449
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:04.559
<v Speaker 2>I didn't ask anybody U of L, as far as

450
00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:06.480
<v Speaker 2>the spokesman, as to why they didn't televise it. But

451
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:09.240
<v Speaker 2>with UK, I just assumed that they were doing this

452
00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:12.799
<v Speaker 2>because they weren't allowed to actually show it because of

453
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:14.640
<v Speaker 2>some kind of a rights thing. When I say rights,

454
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:17.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, the SEC network clearly owns the

455
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:21.200
<v Speaker 2>rights to anything as far as like SEC basketball and football.

456
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:23.000
<v Speaker 2>But this is an intersquad scrimmage, so like maybe that

457
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:23.519
<v Speaker 2>doesn't count.

458
00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:23.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

459
00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:28.480
<v Speaker 2>But anything that you're gonna put on radio or television

460
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:33.519
<v Speaker 2>that is a UK athletics event, it is owned by JMI.

461
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:36.319
<v Speaker 2>Just like with U of L it's lear field. So

462
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:39.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't I don't really know as to why they're

463
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:41.400
<v Speaker 2>not televising it, but I do know that there's a

464
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:44.599
<v Speaker 2>lot of Kentucky fans that are pissed, and if it's

465
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Mark Stoops, it's because again you That's why I said,

466
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:51.079
<v Speaker 2>you never know what what to to believe. But you know,

467
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:53.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at the responses here to this tweet that

468
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:55.880
<v Speaker 2>came from the UK Sports network that says, again for clarification,

469
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:59.079
<v Speaker 2>they'll be no there'll be no action, no game action shown.

470
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:01.119
<v Speaker 2>And then they mentioned they'll have a radio call in

471
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:03.240
<v Speaker 2>a live stream, but the stream that's live is only

472
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:05.759
<v Speaker 2>going to feature guests that are previewing the season, and

473
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:10.440
<v Speaker 2>you know there's a lot of upset, upset fans. This

474
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:14.839
<v Speaker 2>is a Twitter account that's cats by ninety tone deaf.

475
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:17.559
<v Speaker 2>No one wants to listen to guests. This says, I'm

476
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:20.000
<v Speaker 2>always interested in the Blue White game. Extremely disappointed you

477
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:22.440
<v Speaker 2>have chosen to not televise it even delayed a lot

478
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:24.559
<v Speaker 2>of interested fans not capable of making the game for

479
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:29.759
<v Speaker 2>various reasons, and we're being left out. This says, imagine

480
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:32.400
<v Speaker 2>tweeting this knowing it was misleading that you'd have to

481
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:35.359
<v Speaker 2>tweet further clarification. Who is making these decisions? Such a

482
00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:39.079
<v Speaker 2>bad look on the athletic department. This says, doubt it

483
00:22:39.079 --> 00:22:41.119
<v Speaker 2>was Mark Pope's decision. We all know it was Mitch.

484
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:43.519
<v Speaker 2>Guess the days of watching blue and White games in

485
00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:46.279
<v Speaker 2>the past, with tickets being one hundred bucks for a scrimmage.

486
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:47.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know what that means. It doesn't even

487
00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:51.279
<v Speaker 2>make a whole lot of sense. This is from this

488
00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:53.799
<v Speaker 2>is a Twitter account that says, ky lady all in,

489
00:22:54.599 --> 00:22:58.200
<v Speaker 2>what happened to this? This is our team? Mitch Barnhardt

490
00:22:58.200 --> 00:22:58.880
<v Speaker 2>strikes again.

491
00:22:59.200 --> 00:22:59.480
<v Speaker 3>Lies.

492
00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:01.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't really care all that much about seeing the

493
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:03.920
<v Speaker 2>practice myself, but there seems like a pattern with him.

494
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:05.119
<v Speaker 3>I'm ready for him to leave.

495
00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:08.279
<v Speaker 2>He ignores the common man, just like the politicians who

496
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:13.039
<v Speaker 2>promise and then lie. I could read all that. I

497
00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:15.720
<v Speaker 2>guess it's the nil team, not the colonists.

498
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.359
<v Speaker 4>I don't think Mark Pope could possibly have anything to

499
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:19.160
<v Speaker 4>do with it either, though.

500
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:20.920
<v Speaker 2>So there was a tweet that said, but Pope didn't

501
00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:23.279
<v Speaker 2>want and again it's just a random tweet. Maybe Matt

502
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:26.160
<v Speaker 2>said this on KSR. I don't know, but you know

503
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:28.240
<v Speaker 2>that Pope didn't want to show it because he didn't

504
00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:29.880
<v Speaker 2>want to show any of what he's going to do

505
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.599
<v Speaker 2>offensively with this team this year, which, you know, whatever,

506
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:35.640
<v Speaker 2>it's his call. But I mean, I can see if

507
00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:39.480
<v Speaker 2>that being like, you know, not having a reason as

508
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:41.759
<v Speaker 2>to why they're not going to televise, it is just

509
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:44.759
<v Speaker 2>going to make people speculate and assume. And it does

510
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:46.880
<v Speaker 2>seem as if from what I've gathered on all these

511
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:50.480
<v Speaker 2>all these comments, everybody, there's many more people just blaming

512
00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:54.519
<v Speaker 2>UK and Barnhart not necessarily blaming Mark Mark Pope. But

513
00:23:55.920 --> 00:23:59.920
<v Speaker 2>this is an nil event, meaning that any ticket sold

514
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:02.960
<v Speaker 2>which they were expensive, were they really a hundred bucks?

515
00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:05.880
<v Speaker 3>Like that's the case for me.

516
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:08.720
<v Speaker 4>For for a scrimmage where you're not even playing a

517
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:10.880
<v Speaker 4>different team, that seems insane.

518
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:13.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but again, like it is Kentucky.

519
00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:16.119
<v Speaker 2>If you tell if you tell them that you know,

520
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:18.079
<v Speaker 2>the reason we're paying this much is because we need

521
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:19.920
<v Speaker 2>to go pay to get good players and mean, like,

522
00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:22.119
<v Speaker 2>as silly as it is and as much as it

523
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.559
<v Speaker 2>makes super passionate fans of their college team look like suckers,

524
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:29.079
<v Speaker 2>that is one way. Like if you throw up a

525
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:32.039
<v Speaker 2>big price and you and you in some way guilt

526
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:33.839
<v Speaker 2>your fans into thinking, well, we have to do this

527
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:35.759
<v Speaker 2>because if not, we won't be able to get good players.

528
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Enough of them will be worried that their team's gonna

529
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:40.240
<v Speaker 2>snake and they'll pay whatever. Like I hate saying it

530
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:42.480
<v Speaker 2>because you know, clearly we're a college market, and I

531
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:44.599
<v Speaker 2>love college sports and I don't know what my life

532
00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:46.319
<v Speaker 2>would be without it because I love it so much

533
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:49.000
<v Speaker 2>and it's clearly a part of what I do covering it.

534
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:50.559
<v Speaker 3>But like we're suckers.

535
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:54.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean when it comes to like being asked to

536
00:24:54.400 --> 00:24:57.000
<v Speaker 2>pay a donation just to be able to buy season

537
00:24:57.039 --> 00:25:00.119
<v Speaker 2>tickets to a game, and then being asked to pay

538
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:04.079
<v Speaker 2>the players whenever the schools, the universities themselves are bringing

539
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:07.599
<v Speaker 2>in boatloads of money every year with these revenue sharing

540
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:10.359
<v Speaker 2>agreements with the SEC and the Big Ten. Like, we

541
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:12.599
<v Speaker 2>love college sports so much, we're so passionate about it.

542
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:14.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't mean just us here, I mean you know,

543
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:17.400
<v Speaker 2>across the country, they're clearly programs that have huge fan

544
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:19.359
<v Speaker 2>bases that are willing to pay whatever it takes, is

545
00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:22.279
<v Speaker 2>whatever they can afford so their team can have, you know,

546
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.000
<v Speaker 2>money to go get players. I mean, it's just it's

547
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:29.240
<v Speaker 2>put it this way. It shouldn't be on fans to

548
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:32.359
<v Speaker 2>do that, in my opinion, but we're in this position

549
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:36.160
<v Speaker 2>because of no real leadership with the NCAA and Congress

550
00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:39.480
<v Speaker 2>stepping in to basically give us this big mess that is, Yeah,

551
00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:41.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, you got to pay to get players, but

552
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:43.680
<v Speaker 2>technically it can't be paid for play. So we're gonna

553
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:47.160
<v Speaker 2>have this big mirage of collectives and name, image and

554
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:49.799
<v Speaker 2>likeness when it's all you know, it's all nonsense.

555
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:51.000
<v Speaker 3>I've been doing.

556
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:56.599
<v Speaker 2>Some extensive Google searching here and I can't seem to

557
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:00.000
<v Speaker 2>find what it would cost to get the tickets here.

558
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:01.079
<v Speaker 3>All right, so club.

559
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:03.839
<v Speaker 2>Blueenil dot com.

560
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:05.599
<v Speaker 3>Let's see here.

561
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:08.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, nothing that I can see is here

562
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:12.480
<v Speaker 2>you go Blue White basketball event. Let's see.

563
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:14.119
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna hit buy now, but I'm not buying.

564
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:14.359
<v Speaker 1>Now.

565
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:16.519
<v Speaker 3>What if somebody like did a deep dive on my

566
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:17.319
<v Speaker 3>internet search.

567
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:19.920
<v Speaker 2>And they said Nick was looking at buying Kentucky basketball tickets,

568
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:20.640
<v Speaker 2>that son of a bitch.

569
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:22.359
<v Speaker 3>We were right. He's a big blue guy.

570
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:23.680
<v Speaker 4>He's a big blue guy.

571
00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:24.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

572
00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:26.480
<v Speaker 2>So on ticket Master, the cheapest ticket is one hundred

573
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:29.400
<v Speaker 2>and twenty five dollars. With all due respect, that is insane.

574
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Now again, it's gonna make a lot of money even

575
00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:34.160
<v Speaker 2>if you fill up the place halfway, But like, that's crazy.

576
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:36.640
<v Speaker 3>Although I do wish they.

577
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:38.799
<v Speaker 2>Would have some level of coverage because I would love

578
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:41.279
<v Speaker 2>to see because, to be honest with you, if they

579
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:44.640
<v Speaker 2>get close to filling this thing up to seventy percent capacity,

580
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:46.680
<v Speaker 2>if people are willing to pay that much money to

581
00:26:46.680 --> 00:26:50.240
<v Speaker 2>go watch an inner squad scrimmage, that speaks to their

582
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:52.240
<v Speaker 2>fan base. Not that they need it. They are a

583
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:55.279
<v Speaker 2>passionate fan base that you know. There's a ton of them,

584
00:26:55.880 --> 00:26:57.960
<v Speaker 2>and they're all over the planet, even on other planets.

585
00:26:57.960 --> 00:26:59.839
<v Speaker 2>I always say, would not be shocked if I end

586
00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:02.759
<v Speaker 2>upon Mars or Pluto and I run into a Kentucky

587
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:05.720
<v Speaker 2>fan wearing blue gear and they'll walk up and say, Hey, Nick,

588
00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:09.200
<v Speaker 2>big Kentucky fan, Like that's that's my life. It was

589
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:12.400
<v Speaker 2>on the beach in Mexico on my honeymoon, saw two

590
00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:14.599
<v Speaker 2>of them, Like what I thought, I was a thought

591
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:16.240
<v Speaker 2>I was on a It was when I hadn't traveled

592
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:17.000
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot as an adult.

593
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:17.599
<v Speaker 3>I was pretty young.

594
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Now I've traveled all across the world here and there not,

595
00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:21.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, all the time, but I've been many places,

596
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:24.559
<v Speaker 2>and I guarantee anywhere I've gone, I've seen a Kentucky

597
00:27:24.599 --> 00:27:26.559
<v Speaker 2>fan and they're wearing blue and they want you to

598
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:30.400
<v Speaker 2>know their Kentucky fans. All right, let's start with you, John,

599
00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:34.440
<v Speaker 2>what do you hot on for Saturdays slate for college football?

600
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:37.400
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna try our best to have both a good

601
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:40.000
<v Speaker 2>week here. I mean again, I can't control what you

602
00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:41.720
<v Speaker 2>bet on. You don't want to control what I'm betting on.

603
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:43.200
<v Speaker 3>So we'll see. Only time will tell.

604
00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:45.440
<v Speaker 2>But I'm curious to see which games you have some

605
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:47.319
<v Speaker 2>strong opinions on, strong enough to where you're gonna make

606
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:47.680
<v Speaker 2>a wager.

607
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:49.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so I'm gonna piggyback off a little bit of

608
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:51.680
<v Speaker 4>what Brian talked about. And I didn't mention this earlier

609
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:53.640
<v Speaker 4>in the week, but I'm really high on both of

610
00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:56.400
<v Speaker 4>the Service Academy's Navy and Army. I'm gonna take them

611
00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:58.720
<v Speaker 4>both to cover and both of them to hit the

612
00:27:58.759 --> 00:27:59.799
<v Speaker 4>over in their games.

613
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:01.519
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I like it.

614
00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:04.400
<v Speaker 2>There's clearly some momentum with the Service academies, and hey,

615
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:06.119
<v Speaker 2>betting on the if they're gonna be in a parlay,

616
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:08.240
<v Speaker 2>which I'm sure they are. Yes, you know you need

617
00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:11.759
<v Speaker 2>others to help out, But like betting on the Army

618
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.400
<v Speaker 2>or the Navy and you're losing, like you still feel like, well, hey,

619
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:17.720
<v Speaker 2>it's okay, I'll do it again because you know, there

620
00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:20.359
<v Speaker 2>are you know, going and playing football isn't exactly like

621
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:22.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, going and defending our country, but technically they

622
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:24.680
<v Speaker 2>are in the service. So it is fun to see

623
00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:26.839
<v Speaker 2>those teams having some success this year. Again, both are

624
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:31.279
<v Speaker 2>ranked for the first time in since nineteen sixty however long.

625
00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:33.319
<v Speaker 4>You know, the Army Navy game probably have a whole

626
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:34.240
<v Speaker 4>lot more juice this year.

627
00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh, no, doubt more than it's maybe, I mean maybe

628
00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:41.640
<v Speaker 2>ever had no doubt. All Right, So I'm actually I'm

629
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.519
<v Speaker 2>gonna go and this is one that I it's been

630
00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:50.240
<v Speaker 2>my gut pick all week, and I, like I typically do,

631
00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:52.640
<v Speaker 2>I almost talk myself out of it, but I'm gonna

632
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:55.559
<v Speaker 2>stick with it. Tennessee has been a little bit of

633
00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:59.359
<v Speaker 2>a mess this year when it comes to the you know,

634
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:01.480
<v Speaker 2>they just haven't been a prolific offense like they wanted

635
00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:03.559
<v Speaker 2>to be. They lit up North Carolina State, who sucks

636
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:06.279
<v Speaker 2>out loud, and then really since then, they've been not

637
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:08.680
<v Speaker 2>this high powered offense like you thought you'd have with

638
00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:12.599
<v Speaker 2>Josh Heipel and his freshman quarterback who's a star. So

639
00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:16.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, I get why they look like they're a

640
00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:18.640
<v Speaker 2>little underwhelming despite still being the eleventh ranked team in

641
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:21.319
<v Speaker 2>the eleventh best team in the country. But Neiland's gonna

642
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:26.119
<v Speaker 2>be insane. The atmosphere is going to be unbelievable for Tennessee.

643
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.960
<v Speaker 2>And I also in willing to acknowledge that Alabama is

644
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:33.720
<v Speaker 2>as vulnerable as they've ever been, and that speaks more

645
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:36.880
<v Speaker 2>than to how, you know, unvulnerable they were for a

646
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:40.119
<v Speaker 2>long time under Saban. But this is at Tennessee. Tennessee

647
00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:42.119
<v Speaker 2>is three and a half point favorites. I think Tennessee

648
00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:44.599
<v Speaker 2>can certainly cover three and a half as a dog,

649
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:47.160
<v Speaker 2>and I wouldn't be shocked if they win because they're

650
00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:51.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna have momentum, and like this, this isn't Saban, and

651
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:53.599
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't mean that Bama's going to be terrible under

652
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:56.559
<v Speaker 2>this new regime. But Bama lost to Vandy and then

653
00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:00.559
<v Speaker 2>nearly lost the next week to South Carolina, So like

654
00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:03.079
<v Speaker 2>they they got to look in the mirror. You know,

655
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:05.400
<v Speaker 2>you've played six games like everybody else, and yeah, you're

656
00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:05.920
<v Speaker 2>still good.

657
00:30:05.960 --> 00:30:07.039
<v Speaker 3>You probably are gonna win.

658
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:10.480
<v Speaker 2>But I think you know, them meeting Tennessee plus three

659
00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:12.640
<v Speaker 2>and a half at home, I like it. I know

660
00:30:13.079 --> 00:30:14.920
<v Speaker 2>they seem like a team you wouldn't want to trust

661
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:17.359
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot right now. But I think they're gonna

662
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:19.799
<v Speaker 2>be They're gonna be ready to play. The atmosphere is

663
00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:22.079
<v Speaker 2>going to be crazy. And I think you have to

664
00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:23.720
<v Speaker 2>say the same thing about Bama, like they're not a

665
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:25.160
<v Speaker 2>team that I think a lot of people would really

666
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:25.920
<v Speaker 2>trust right now.

667
00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:26.440
<v Speaker 3>It's weird.

668
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:28.880
<v Speaker 4>There's a lot of SEC teams outside of Texas that

669
00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:30.160
<v Speaker 4>I feel like are hard to trust, which is.

670
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:33.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Look, Georgia came back if you remember, and took

671
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:35.599
<v Speaker 2>the lead for one play, right If there's not that

672
00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:38.440
<v Speaker 2>miraculous play from Bama to retake the lead and then

673
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:41.720
<v Speaker 2>end it, they would be coming off of. I mean again,

674
00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:43.480
<v Speaker 2>you never know if one result would have let you know,

675
00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:45.519
<v Speaker 2>if they lose to Bama, if they lose to Georgia,

676
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:47.640
<v Speaker 2>then you know, who knows. Maybe they end up not

677
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:51.640
<v Speaker 2>getting upset by Vandy. But Vandy took them punch for punch.

678
00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:54.319
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't anything fluky, and that speaks more to Vandy

679
00:30:54.359 --> 00:30:56.759
<v Speaker 2>than anything else. But I think Tennessee plus three and

680
00:30:56.799 --> 00:30:59.680
<v Speaker 2>a half here, I've been pretty solid on it for

681
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:01.640
<v Speaker 2>a while. I'll at least throughout the week, I'm sticking

682
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:02.599
<v Speaker 2>with it. What's your next one?

683
00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:04.640
<v Speaker 4>I like cal to bounce back in a big way

684
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:06.680
<v Speaker 4>against n C State this weekend. I know they've lost

685
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:08.200
<v Speaker 4>two in a row, one to Miami and then a

686
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:11.039
<v Speaker 4>very close one against Pittsburgh last week. But I think

687
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:13.279
<v Speaker 4>n C State, and You've mentioned this before, one of

688
00:31:13.319 --> 00:31:16.039
<v Speaker 4>the most disappointing and underwhelming teams, not just in the

689
00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:18.880
<v Speaker 4>ACC but college football in general. And I think cow

690
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:21.200
<v Speaker 4>will easily cover minus ten and a half or really,

691
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:23.720
<v Speaker 4>depending on what sportsbook you look at, could be nine

692
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:25.359
<v Speaker 4>to ten, whatever may be. But I think they'll cover

693
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:26.039
<v Speaker 4>pretty easily.

694
00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:30.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go with a big ten matchup here, and

695
00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:33.160
<v Speaker 2>it's a team that I just I don't think that

696
00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:37.400
<v Speaker 2>they're even I mean, they're not terrible, but I don't

697
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:38.720
<v Speaker 2>think they're special in any way.

698
00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:39.599
<v Speaker 3>And that's Michigan.

699
00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:43.559
<v Speaker 2>I think Brett Bielama and Illinois getting also three and

700
00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:46.319
<v Speaker 2>a half, just like Tennessee's getting with Bama.

701
00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:48.039
<v Speaker 3>I like this a lot. This one is in.

702
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:51.920
<v Speaker 2>This one's at Illinois. Illinois under Brett Bilama, they've been

703
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:54.640
<v Speaker 2>a little bit unpredictable at times. They nearly lost to Purdue,

704
00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:57.440
<v Speaker 2>and I think that's scared some people because they know

705
00:31:57.480 --> 00:31:59.759
<v Speaker 2>they I think they probably put it on Cruise Control

706
00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:03.160
<v Speaker 2>after they were just demolishing Purdue early on, and then

707
00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:04.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, Purdue made a little bit of a run.

708
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:06.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm not worry about that.

709
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:08.440
<v Speaker 2>I think they knew that their big matchup was gonna

710
00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:10.240
<v Speaker 2>be the home game against Michigan the following week. They

711
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:12.480
<v Speaker 2>were looking ahead to this one. Now it's here. I

712
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:14.240
<v Speaker 2>think they win this thing out right. I'm not gonna

713
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:16.440
<v Speaker 2>bet it. I'm gonna I'm not gonna parlay that. But

714
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:18.559
<v Speaker 2>as far as my pick with the parlay here, I'm

715
00:32:18.599 --> 00:32:20.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna take Illinois plus three and a half.

716
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:21.599
<v Speaker 4>Well, let me go ahead and take or tell you

717
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:23.559
<v Speaker 4>what I'm doing with Illinois money line because I mentioned

718
00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:25.240
<v Speaker 4>that I'm gonna take this earlier this week to you,

719
00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:28.359
<v Speaker 4>that's right here. But I'm gonna parlay that with Louisville

720
00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:28.839
<v Speaker 4>money line.

721
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:31.319
<v Speaker 2>With Big Game, Oh, Big Game Brom. He's putting his

722
00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:33.599
<v Speaker 2>money where his mouth is. He's not just gassing up

723
00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:35.119
<v Speaker 2>Big Game Brom, you know.

724
00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:38.200
<v Speaker 3>To appease me. He's he's believing. I like it.

725
00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:41.759
<v Speaker 2>That makes me feel even better, all right, last one

726
00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:44.400
<v Speaker 2>for me before we get to our our last break here.

727
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:48.200
<v Speaker 2>And there's a few games that I'm I'm I'm gonna

728
00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:49.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm gonna bet on a lot of games

729
00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:50.799
<v Speaker 2>that we're not gonna talk about right now, but as

730
00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:53.039
<v Speaker 2>far as ones that I you know, I feel I

731
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:56.519
<v Speaker 2>feel pretty good about. There's I mean, whichever one I

732
00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:59.000
<v Speaker 2>was gonna pick here to make my parlay, I'm not

733
00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:01.000
<v Speaker 2>as confident in those as I am the first two

734
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:07.039
<v Speaker 2>that I that I just mentioned. However, you know, oh man,

735
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:09.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm torn because part of me wants to trust

736
00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnati minus five and a half. But I can't bet

737
00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:13.359
<v Speaker 2>on Sadurdfield because if I lose, I would sit here

738
00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:15.359
<v Speaker 2>and think like, yeah, what are you doing, you idiot?

739
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:20.400
<v Speaker 2>So what I'm gonna do is I'm actually gonna go You're.

740
00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:23.319
<v Speaker 4>Gonna bet Signetti not Saderfield, or maybe you're not.

741
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:26.400
<v Speaker 3>No, that's one of them. Yeah, let's do that. Yeah,

742
00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:26.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna do that.

743
00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:29.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna I'm gonna bet Signetti to to cover six

744
00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:31.720
<v Speaker 2>and a half. That's what they That's what they're favorite, right, Yes,

745
00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:34.279
<v Speaker 2>that's what it's favored. As Again, the other ones that

746
00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:36.319
<v Speaker 2>I've already put in place were not parlays, just straight

747
00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:38.160
<v Speaker 2>bets that I that I was doing earlier this week.

748
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:43.519
<v Speaker 2>I like I like Kansas State to to cover minus

749
00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:46.319
<v Speaker 2>two and a half at West Virginia. I'm not touching

750
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:47.720
<v Speaker 2>the Kentucky Florida game.

751
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:49.240
<v Speaker 1>You know.

752
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:51.640
<v Speaker 2>I want touch the Louisville game. But again, I'm confident

753
00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:54.039
<v Speaker 2>in Louisville. But yeah, I've got one more wacky one too,

754
00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:54.839
<v Speaker 2>and maybe it's here.

755
00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:57.119
<v Speaker 4>It's wacky. It's because of the matchup. It's Washington State

756
00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:00.319
<v Speaker 4>against Hawaii. They're hosting Hawaii and they're favored by MYUS

757
00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:02.279
<v Speaker 4>eighteen and a half. That is a lot of points.

758
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:04.839
<v Speaker 4>But I think Hawaii is dog doodoose.

759
00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:08.039
<v Speaker 2>Those are fun games to bet on. To take care

760
00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:10.679
<v Speaker 2>of business, good stuff. All right, speaking of taking care

761
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:12.480
<v Speaker 2>of business, real quick before we get to our next break,

762
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:14.639
<v Speaker 2>let's talk once again real quick. This is going to

763
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:16.559
<v Speaker 2>be your final reminder for me until it happens tomorrow.

764
00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:19.719
<v Speaker 2>The Jefferson Animal Hospital of it is tomorrow. It is

765
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:22.079
<v Speaker 2>going to be a good time. It's the pints for

766
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:24.159
<v Speaker 2>palls and people event out there from ten am to

767
00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:27.480
<v Speaker 2>two pm. Bring your pet. They'll show you how they

768
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:30.519
<v Speaker 2>do pet blood pet blood donations where you know, I'm

769
00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:32.360
<v Speaker 2>sure it's not something you've seen before. And if it is,

770
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:34.000
<v Speaker 2>then you know all about it and you're good to go.

771
00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:35.719
<v Speaker 2>But if you are a little hesitant because you don't

772
00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:37.719
<v Speaker 2>know what the process looks like when it comes to

773
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:40.239
<v Speaker 2>how they can draw blood from your pets and you know,

774
00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:42.840
<v Speaker 2>make them pet pet blood donors, they'll be happy to

775
00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:44.960
<v Speaker 2>show you and educate you on how it works. So again,

776
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:46.519
<v Speaker 2>it's from ten to two tomorrow. They're going to have

777
00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:49.519
<v Speaker 2>food available for everybody. Should be a good time, and

778
00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:51.480
<v Speaker 2>it's for a great cause. It's going to help save

779
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:55.440
<v Speaker 2>lives anytime that someone donates blood. Anytime a pet donates blood,

780
00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:57.000
<v Speaker 2>it can help save up to four to six lives.

781
00:34:57.039 --> 00:34:58.960
<v Speaker 2>They're also going to have the option for you to

782
00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:00.920
<v Speaker 2>donate blood with the American Red Cross if you want to.

783
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:04.599
<v Speaker 2>So again, the Jefferson Animal Hospital on outer Loop pints

784
00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:07.039
<v Speaker 2>for Pauls and people tomorrow from ten am to two pm.

785
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:08.599
<v Speaker 2>All right, we'll take our last break, come back here

786
00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:10.519
<v Speaker 2>on the other side, wrap this thing up and get

787
00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:15.119
<v Speaker 2>out of here for the weekend. That's right, we are

788
00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:18.400
<v Speaker 2>wrapping up a Friday edition of Coffee and Company, putting

789
00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the finishing touches here on another week on Sports Talk

790
00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:23.320
<v Speaker 2>seven ninety. Don't forget tomorrow. We've got you covered for

791
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:27.079
<v Speaker 2>pregame and postgame, So I'm hoping that we get the

792
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:30.360
<v Speaker 2>postgame show started with a celebration.

793
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:31.719
<v Speaker 3>It'd be a big deal.

794
00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:34.039
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I was talking to John during the

795
00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:36.519
<v Speaker 2>break just kind of about wanting this game to just

796
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:38.119
<v Speaker 2>like I want it to happen now, so I can,

797
00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:40.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, I can see where Louisville stands, see if

798
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:44.159
<v Speaker 2>they do, in fact make improvements and clean it up.

799
00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:45.920
<v Speaker 3>Right. It's not about you know.

800
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Needing to be a new team as far as who

801
00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:50.559
<v Speaker 2>you play and really what your strategy is.

802
00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:51.840
<v Speaker 3>I think it's just.

803
00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:55.800
<v Speaker 2>About avoiding some mistakes that I think, in my opinion,

804
00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:57.199
<v Speaker 2>maybe I'm wrong, they appear.

805
00:35:56.920 --> 00:35:57.840
<v Speaker 3>To be pretty avoidable.

806
00:35:57.840 --> 00:35:59.840
<v Speaker 2>But here you are six games in and you still

807
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:03.079
<v Speaker 2>haven't really been able to put together a complete game

808
00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:05.119
<v Speaker 2>that you can say, yeah, there were some mistakes because

809
00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:08.639
<v Speaker 2>nobody's perfect, but overall, you know, we didn't beat ourselves

810
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:10.599
<v Speaker 2>in a major way. And you always have to give

811
00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:12.880
<v Speaker 2>credit to your opponent because even if you are making

812
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:15.480
<v Speaker 2>mistakes that are avoidable, they're making you pay for them,

813
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:17.440
<v Speaker 2>which is why they're beating you. So it's not like

814
00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:19.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying Louisvells four and two and the teams that

815
00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:22.840
<v Speaker 2>they lost to are are terrible and they didn't deserve

816
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:24.480
<v Speaker 2>to win. I mean, SMU came in here and just

817
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:26.760
<v Speaker 2>beat you, and you shouldn't have been that big of

818
00:36:26.760 --> 00:36:29.199
<v Speaker 2>a mess off on defense when it comes to communication

819
00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:31.800
<v Speaker 2>and whatnot. But either way, like they look good and

820
00:36:32.159 --> 00:36:34.480
<v Speaker 2>that was a humbling experience. The Notre Dame one is

821
00:36:34.519 --> 00:36:36.079
<v Speaker 2>the one that's like, how are you even in that game?

822
00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Given all the things you did to put yourself in

823
00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:42.199
<v Speaker 2>that spot. So no better time than now to clean

824
00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:43.840
<v Speaker 2>it up, play your best game of the season. If

825
00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:46.079
<v Speaker 2>you've got your as you've got probably the best opponent

826
00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:48.800
<v Speaker 2>on your schedule coming in and it would really really

827
00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:53.880
<v Speaker 2>give you a chance to hit that backstretch of the season,

828
00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:56.800
<v Speaker 2>the second half of the schedule, with momentum and with

829
00:36:56.840 --> 00:36:59.599
<v Speaker 2>belief and really a lot to accomplish. I mean, it's

830
00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:00.840
<v Speaker 2>tough to think that, you know, I don't I don't

831
00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:03.400
<v Speaker 2>know if they're going to end up being a team

832
00:37:03.400 --> 00:37:05.880
<v Speaker 2>that really finds themselves with a chance to get to Charlotte.

833
00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:08.119
<v Speaker 2>But you never know, right I think, you know, if

834
00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:10.199
<v Speaker 2>you beat Miami, maybe that means somebody else can knock

835
00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:13.119
<v Speaker 2>them down, and maybe you know, you can maybe Clemson,

836
00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:15.039
<v Speaker 2>maybe you. I mean, I don't know if it's gonna happen,

837
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:17.239
<v Speaker 2>but clearly, if you can beat Miami doesn't mean you're

838
00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:19.199
<v Speaker 2>guaranteed to go on the road to Clemson and get

839
00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:19.679
<v Speaker 2>it done, but.

840
00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:21.559
<v Speaker 3>You'd have to feel a little bit better about it.

841
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:25.039
<v Speaker 2>And John, just as we wrap it up, I just

842
00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:26.960
<v Speaker 2>want you to know, I don't have any I don't

843
00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:29.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't have the copy for that, so I'm just

844
00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:30.199
<v Speaker 2>gonna wing it.

845
00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:31.800
<v Speaker 4>That's totally fine.

846
00:37:31.880 --> 00:37:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So real quick, before we get out of here,

847
00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:37.079
<v Speaker 2>I will remind you about underdog fantasy. If you're not familiar,

848
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:39.679
<v Speaker 2>you should get familiar because it is a really really

849
00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:42.960
<v Speaker 2>cool way to experience college football in the NFL. You

850
00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:46.719
<v Speaker 2>can get involved in the game and make, you know,

851
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:50.920
<v Speaker 2>make wagers, but it's not necessarily you're you know, you're

852
00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:53.639
<v Speaker 2>not doing spreads or money lines. You're just you're just

853
00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:55.920
<v Speaker 2>deciding if a player is going to either go higher

854
00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:59.880
<v Speaker 2>or lower on a specific on a specific stat right, like, oh,

855
00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:02.880
<v Speaker 2>were in receiving yards over in completions, that kind of stuff.

856
00:38:03.320 --> 00:38:06.559
<v Speaker 2>And you pick a handful of those things. You know,

857
00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:08.360
<v Speaker 2>you make your picks, you put them together for a

858
00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:11.400
<v Speaker 2>for a play and it's you know, it's like a parlay, right,

859
00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:13.400
<v Speaker 2>if you've got this guy getting more than this many

860
00:38:13.440 --> 00:38:15.599
<v Speaker 2>receptions and you've got this guy getting lower than this

861
00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:20.360
<v Speaker 2>many you know, receiving yards, and you know you got

862
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:21.880
<v Speaker 2>three or four, you put them together and if they

863
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:24.760
<v Speaker 2>all come in, then you're you know, you're making money.

864
00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:26.039
<v Speaker 2>You're making a lot of money. And a lot of

865
00:38:26.079 --> 00:38:28.440
<v Speaker 2>people made money last year who got in on the

866

<v Speaker 2>this game. And I'm a little nervous too, just because

879
00:39:03.239 --> 00:39:05.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm well aware that like we got to see a

880

<v Speaker 2>team we haven't seen yet, and only Tom will tell

881
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:09.199
<v Speaker 2>if that ends up happening.

882
00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:14.039
<v Speaker 3>Have you go one everybody
