27
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.280
<v Speaker 2>you can't tell how it's impacted you positively, then that's

28
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.159
<v Speaker 2>a you problem, not a Thornton's problem. I can tell

29
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 2>you that for sure. I said that, not them though,

30
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:42.280
<v Speaker 2>just to be you know it. Don't give me in trouble.

31
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:44.799
<v Speaker 2>We all know that's true. But maybe I'm not allowed

32
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.120
<v Speaker 2>to say it, but I did, and I mean it.

33
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 2>Don't hit the dump button, John, I meant everything I said.

34
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.079
<v Speaker 2>I won't hit that dump. Don't hit that dumb button.

35
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Does your button have a have dump on it? It has.

36
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:55.640
<v Speaker 2>It's funny.

37
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:57.680
<v Speaker 3>It has like a little engraving that's got like a

38
00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 3>bunch of symbols that are I guess meant to be

39
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:00.959
<v Speaker 3>like an yes.

40
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.359
<v Speaker 2>So it's kind of funny. So I mean it makes sense,

41
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:08.240
<v Speaker 2>like if you're gonna dump something like, that's what this is.

42
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:10.039
<v Speaker 2>You want to dump What was said on the air

43
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.599
<v Speaker 2>that wasn't supposed to be said or dump, you know,

44
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 2>empty airtime, but like I just thought that was like

45
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 2>radio slang. This actual board that I assume is, you know,

46
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.319
<v Speaker 2>this board in front of me with way too many buttons,

47
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 2>way too many lights, not even surely. All I know

48
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:26.879
<v Speaker 2>is I got to hit this button here to turn

49
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:29.039
<v Speaker 2>this microphone on. I don't touch anything else because I

50
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.240
<v Speaker 2>don't want to break something. I'm assuming this board costs

51
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.400
<v Speaker 2>more than my salary and some But it actually the

52
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.520
<v Speaker 2>button itself, like the manufacturer of this humongous board, it

53
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 2>actually says dump. Am I child for thinking that's funny,

54
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.840
<v Speaker 2>I know, it's very funny. And then it does make

55
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:47.719
<v Speaker 2>sense though, because the actual button says it. But then

56
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:49.719
<v Speaker 2>somebody has put a piece of tape here that also

57
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.520
<v Speaker 2>just says dump on it that way, because again, if

58
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:56.680
<v Speaker 2>you're scrambling to find a button really really quickly, it's

59
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.759
<v Speaker 2>the dump button. Any other button, you know, I mean,

60
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:00.599
<v Speaker 2>you might want to get to it quick, but like

61
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:02.840
<v Speaker 2>if you're looking for the dumb button, it's because somebody

62
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:04.680
<v Speaker 2>said something on the air that they're not supposed to say.

63
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:06.520
<v Speaker 2>I missed the one we had at the old studio.

64
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 2>That's an engine start. Yeah, they didn't they like connect

65
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:11.800
<v Speaker 2>something to it like that wasn't on the board. They

66
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.280
<v Speaker 2>actually had like an external button, rit, wasn't it.

67
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>No?

68
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.199
<v Speaker 3>I mean it literally looked like they took something out

69
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.000
<v Speaker 3>of a really old car and hooked it up to

70
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:19.759
<v Speaker 3>a wire and you could just grab it and hold

71
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:21.000
<v Speaker 3>it and then you know, push it.

72
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:22.800
<v Speaker 2>It's one of those buttons that like in a movie,

73
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.199
<v Speaker 2>if it just appeared somewhere like it would probably do

74
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:30.039
<v Speaker 2>something crazy, right kind of what reminded me of All Right, Uh, look,

75
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.479
<v Speaker 2>I have no problem saying this. It's not me trying

76
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.319
<v Speaker 2>to rain on the parade or be a fun sucker.

77
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.960
<v Speaker 2>But I feel like Louisville football season hasn't really started yet.

78
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm encouraged by everything that I've seen. I feel great

79
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.240
<v Speaker 2>about where the team is. You're two and zero now

80
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 2>in the top twenties. Some people are still looking at

81
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 2>you as a contender for the ACC maybe even thinking

82
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.199
<v Speaker 2>you could be a dark horse for the playoff. And

83
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:56.319
<v Speaker 2>now that's not a crazy thing to say because the

84
00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:00.840
<v Speaker 2>playoff has expanded to twelve teams. But you know, Louisvill'

85
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:02.639
<v Speaker 2>is the only team in the AEC that hasn't played

86
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.199
<v Speaker 2>a powerfour team yet, and again we blame that on

87
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.479
<v Speaker 2>Indiana because they were supposed to play Indiana and Indiana

88
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.159
<v Speaker 2>backed out, And now that's why we had Jacksonville State.

89
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.080
<v Speaker 2>So it's not anybody's fault, there's nothing you can't control it.

90
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.560
<v Speaker 2>But I just I feel a little bit of envy

91
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:21.000
<v Speaker 2>knowing that other teams have learned about their team a

92
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:22.319
<v Speaker 2>little bit more than us, in fact a lot more

93
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:26.120
<v Speaker 2>than us. Because again, Louisville, you could convince yourself whatever

94
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 2>you want in these first two games. Now I think

95
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:30.759
<v Speaker 2>you'd be a real fool to try to convince yourself

96
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:32.800
<v Speaker 2>that Louisville isn't a good team and that like you're worried,

97
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:36.000
<v Speaker 2>But some people are like that by nature. Louisville took

98
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:39.720
<v Speaker 2>care of business against a really bad inferior opponent Austin

99
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:43.680
<v Speaker 2>p And yeah, they weren't flawless. They were in too

100
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:48.240
<v Speaker 2>many third and lungs against Jacksonville State. Their quarterback ended

101
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.920
<v Speaker 2>up running more than I would have ever wanted a

102
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:55.439
<v Speaker 2>quarterback at a place like Jacksonville State to run on Louiell.

103
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:59.240
<v Speaker 2>But for me to actually feel like it wouldn't be genuine,

104
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 2>I would be lying if I told you that I

105
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.519
<v Speaker 2>was discouraged or concerned, because that's just what these games are.

106
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.199
<v Speaker 2>And we had a caller in the postgame show that

107
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 2>I thought did a really good job of kind of

108
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.920
<v Speaker 2>reminding me, you know, in a different way, as to

109
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.120
<v Speaker 2>why I hate these games, because he acknowledged some things

110
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.319
<v Speaker 2>that were kind of concerning to him. But you know,

111
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.560
<v Speaker 2>like you expect yourself to be perfect in these kind

112
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:22.279
<v Speaker 2>of games, and that's impossible to do. You know, if

113
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:25.360
<v Speaker 2>you had that kind of a game against a bad

114
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:29.439
<v Speaker 2>ACC team, you'd feel great. But because it's Jacksonville State,

115
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.079
<v Speaker 2>relatively new to the FCS, and you could just tell

116
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:33.759
<v Speaker 2>by visually looking at the team on the field if

117
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:35.879
<v Speaker 2>they're not the same level as you like, you just

118
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>you have that expectation to be perfect, even though you

119
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.959
<v Speaker 2>know that's unrealistic. But I think when you play those

120
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.879
<v Speaker 2>two teams back to back to start the season, I'm

121
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.360
<v Speaker 2>not really sure. Louisville. I mean, I guess they could

122
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.199
<v Speaker 2>have done better, right, they could have won eighty enough

123
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.800
<v Speaker 2>in the other day, But I feel like they're in

124
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.879
<v Speaker 2>a really good place right now, and that's all you

125
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:54.439
<v Speaker 2>can do when you play those kind of teams. All

126
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:56.079
<v Speaker 2>you can do is beat them down, and Louisville did

127
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.519
<v Speaker 2>exactly that. Certainly there's areas where maybe they could have

128
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:02.040
<v Speaker 2>been a little better, but I think any any real

129
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.439
<v Speaker 2>reaction or any real concern from that would be would

130
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:07.800
<v Speaker 2>be nitpicking, to be honest with you. So now we

131
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>got a bye week to where the first three weeks,

132
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, in four weeks, if you consider the week zero, right,

133
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.600
<v Speaker 2>it'll be some teams will have played four games and

134
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.199
<v Speaker 2>Louisville has yet to really get started because again, like

135
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:21.720
<v Speaker 2>they just the schedule set up that way. Now Georgia

136
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:23.439
<v Speaker 2>Tech will be a real game. It's a conference game.

137
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Georgia Tech of course now outside the top twenty five

138
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.839
<v Speaker 2>after losing the Syracuse on Saturday, But hey, I don't care.

139
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to complain about Georgia Tech being unranked.

140
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:34.199
<v Speaker 2>It's still a game where you get a chance to

141
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:40.160
<v Speaker 2>kind of size up yourself against a league opponent. So look,

142
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:42.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm happy Louisville' two and oh, even though those wins

143
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.480
<v Speaker 2>came against teams that give you, you know, not a whole

144
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.199
<v Speaker 2>lot you can take from It could be worse. You

145
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:51.360
<v Speaker 2>could be Kentucky and be going into a game where

146
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.000
<v Speaker 2>you felt like one you were gonna win and you

147
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.959
<v Speaker 2>might win big. You knew how important it was. I

148
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.600
<v Speaker 2>mean it was. It was labeled as the most important

149
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.160
<v Speaker 2>game of the season by the crew on KSR. And

150
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:04.519
<v Speaker 2>I get why because that's if you feel like you're

151
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.199
<v Speaker 2>gonna get back to being a bowl team, because you

152
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:08.759
<v Speaker 2>do have a really tough schedule where you play some

153
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:10.079
<v Speaker 2>of the best teams in the country. That's when you

154
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:11.680
<v Speaker 2>got to get and not only did you not get it,

155
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:16.519
<v Speaker 2>you got embarrassed. I mean you got worked that was

156
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:22.360
<v Speaker 2>as sloppy and is poorly prepared as a Stoops team

157
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:26.360
<v Speaker 2>I've seen in a long time. I mean, what makes

158
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.639
<v Speaker 2>it even worse is that South Carolina isn't good at all.

159
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:34.040
<v Speaker 2>South Carolina should have lost old dominion. I mean the

160
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:37.399
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky was nearly double digit favorites for a reason because

161
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:39.879
<v Speaker 2>that's how badly everybody thought South Carolina sucked and they

162
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:43.160
<v Speaker 2>didn't even do anything special against you. I mean, we're

163
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.759
<v Speaker 2>gonna be honest here, South Carolina and Kentucky need to

164
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.240
<v Speaker 2>be saying there thank you to the Southeastern Conference because

165
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:53.079
<v Speaker 2>there's other teams out there given the league a bad look.

166
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Auburn losing at home to col A and m losing

167
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.319
<v Speaker 2>the Notre Dame at home, and then Notre Dame losing

168
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:08.319
<v Speaker 2>the NIU Arizona State embarrassed Mississippi State, and yet the

169
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:11.120
<v Speaker 2>two worst offenses in college football after two weeks are

170
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:13.560
<v Speaker 2>South Carolina and Kentucky. And they just played each other.

171
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:16.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that was not a great display on ABC

172
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.040
<v Speaker 2>as the SEC made its debut. Right two SEC teams

173
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:23.000
<v Speaker 2>making their debut on ABC, and that's the performance that

174
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:25.360
<v Speaker 2>you got. I mean, neither team looked good, but South

175
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Carolina their defensive line dominated Kentucky's lowly offensive line and

176
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.639
<v Speaker 2>made more plays. I mean, and that's what's got to

177
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.000
<v Speaker 2>be the most demoralizing thing for Kentucky fans is that,

178
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, you just watched your team lose what thirty

179
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:42.440
<v Speaker 2>four to six to a bad South Carolina team who

180
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:44.919
<v Speaker 2>didn't do anything special to beat you. They weren't good.

181
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:46.919
<v Speaker 2>They just you know, they took advantage of your poor

182
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.759
<v Speaker 2>offensive line play and they were able to take advantage

183
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:54.440
<v Speaker 2>of all the mistakes that you made. So I don't

184
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:59.600
<v Speaker 2>think that Kentucky football is looking at a coaching change

185
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:03.399
<v Speaker 2>after the unless Mark Tuobs just simply wants to do

186
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.039
<v Speaker 2>something else, and I'm surprised that it didn't get more

187
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:12.360
<v Speaker 2>run when he made comments about how he's doesn't know

188
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:15.679
<v Speaker 2>much longer he can do it, and all he has

189
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.320
<v Speaker 2>to it's all nil. He's doing everything on his own,

190
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:20.519
<v Speaker 2>and he wishes he could just coach football.

191
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:22.080
<v Speaker 4>You know.

192
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.159
<v Speaker 2>He says that coming off of an offseason where he

193
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.799
<v Speaker 2>had the Texas A and M jobs, So he thought

194
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.679
<v Speaker 2>only for them to say, yeah, sorry, we're gonna have

195
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:35.240
<v Speaker 2>to riscind the offer, because you know, we realized letting

196
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.799
<v Speaker 2>our fans know that you're the guy we were gonna

197
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:39.360
<v Speaker 2>go with, Yeah, that wouldn't go well, So we're going

198
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.039
<v Speaker 2>to go in a different direction. Like that's what happened.

199
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Anybody telling you otherwise is lying that's what happened. So

200
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:49.799
<v Speaker 2>he's probably pretty pretty empty because I think he thought

201
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:51.799
<v Speaker 2>he found that would have been a perfect exit strategy

202
00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:53.120
<v Speaker 2>for him, Right, go to A and M, get a

203
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:56.039
<v Speaker 2>lot of money. You've got resources there with Nil that

204
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.000
<v Speaker 2>you'll never have to worry about like you will at Kentucky.

205
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.440
<v Speaker 2>You can say you left Kentucky in a great place.

206
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.279
<v Speaker 2>Even in a year where they were underwhelming, they still

207
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.440
<v Speaker 2>knocked off their rival I mean that night when they

208
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.120
<v Speaker 2>beat Kentucky or when they beat Louisville, that was the

209
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.240
<v Speaker 2>night what everybody thought Stoops was gone, and then you

210
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.879
<v Speaker 2>know he wasn't. He just looks to be pretty dejected,

211
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:21.120
<v Speaker 2>and I you know, I could see them having their

212
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:24.039
<v Speaker 2>worst season with Mark Stoops in quite some time. And

213
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:25.799
<v Speaker 2>what and most of that is going to be due

214
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:27.279
<v Speaker 2>to the fact that they have a really tough schedule

215
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.080
<v Speaker 2>and anybody that's got maybe four of the top six

216
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.039
<v Speaker 2>teams on their schedule coming up in the next couple

217
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.720
<v Speaker 2>of months is going to be feeling like, you know,

218
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:40.639
<v Speaker 2>that sucks, right, because it does. But also, you know,

219
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I think this is just another maybe

220
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:45.480
<v Speaker 2>this is a small thing, but to me, this is

221
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:49.279
<v Speaker 2>another example of this guy. He's not energized right now.

222
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:53.360
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't seem hungry to prove doubters wrong and to

223
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:56.639
<v Speaker 2>salvage this season. I feel like he's just kind of

224
00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:00.279
<v Speaker 2>to me, he just sounds like he's going through the motions.

225
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.039
<v Speaker 2>I think we get the opportunity to play it for

226
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:06.600
<v Speaker 2>the top six in the coming weeks, so that's a joy.

227
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:11.159
<v Speaker 2>So look, he's done great things at Kentucky. If he

228
00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:14.960
<v Speaker 2>wins three games this year and moves on because they're

229
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:16.799
<v Speaker 2>not moving on from him. He would have to move on.

230
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:19.039
<v Speaker 2>They're never firing him. I mean, he'd have to be

231
00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:21.039
<v Speaker 2>bad for many, many years for them to fire him.

232
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:23.639
<v Speaker 2>But if he decides to move on, you can still

233
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:26.000
<v Speaker 2>look back and say that that was a successful season

234
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.919
<v Speaker 2>for Mark I'm sorry, a successful tenure for Marx Stoops.

235
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:31.240
<v Speaker 2>But it's all based off of where Kentucky was prior

236
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:33.840
<v Speaker 2>to him, and that matters. That matters when you evaluate him.

237
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:38.360
<v Speaker 2>There's no doubt about that. But you know, they felt

238
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:41.360
<v Speaker 2>superior to South Carolina. They feel as if they had

239
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:44.919
<v Speaker 2>surpassed them despite losing two in a row going into Saturday.

240
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:46.960
<v Speaker 2>There's not many schools when it comes to football they

241
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:48.559
<v Speaker 2>can look at and feel like they're better.

242
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:48.759
<v Speaker 1>Then.

243
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:51.039
<v Speaker 2>They've looked at South Carolina like that for a while.

244
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:53.360
<v Speaker 2>I think they've looked at Missouri like that for a while,

245
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:56.000
<v Speaker 2>and maybe, you know, maybe they shouldn't after Missouri had

246
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.240
<v Speaker 2>a great year last year and it's probably gonna beat

247
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:02.919
<v Speaker 2>him this year. But I don't think Kentucky fans have

248
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:06.120
<v Speaker 2>been this down on Stoops since the first few years

249
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:09.720
<v Speaker 2>he was there, and they were like this last year,

250
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:12.960
<v Speaker 2>he said pony up when fans were getting upset about

251
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.159
<v Speaker 2>them getting embarrassed by Georgia, And that was a really

252
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:19.440
<v Speaker 2>stupid thing to say, and you can't take that away.

253
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.799
<v Speaker 2>It's out there. And then when you lose, it's gonna

254
00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:26.519
<v Speaker 2>be something people, you know, should we pony up more?

255
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.720
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sure Kentucky fans were making those kind of

256
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:32.879
<v Speaker 2>jokes and whatnot, but I mean, he said that, and

257
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:35.120
<v Speaker 2>then last year they were underwhelming. I mean, they weren't good,

258
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:36.679
<v Speaker 2>and then they beat Louisville in a year where they

259
00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:38.559
<v Speaker 2>weren't supposed to top ten, went on the road for

260
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.799
<v Speaker 2>Stoops a big deal, and that gave him some new life.

261
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:44.480
<v Speaker 2>That clearly changed how they viewed that season. And I'm

262
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:46.879
<v Speaker 2>not even saying that to say, you know, we're your

263
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:48.759
<v Speaker 2>super Bowl Like that's how this works, man, Like, if

264
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Louisville's going seven and five annually, but one of those

265
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:56.879
<v Speaker 2>seven wins is Kentucky, you're gonna view that differently. You

266
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:59.600
<v Speaker 2>just are like that, That's just how this works. Not

267
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:02.759
<v Speaker 2>to say everybody's the same, but most fans, nobody's gonna

268
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:04.519
<v Speaker 2>be aiming, let's go seven and five, that'll be a

269
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:08.120
<v Speaker 2>great year. But that win does mean more than most

270
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.399
<v Speaker 2>of the others on your schedule. It just does, especially

271
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:12.840
<v Speaker 2>around here when it comes to bragging rights. So that

272
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:15.919
<v Speaker 2>gave him, you know, some new life. Then they go

273
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:19.440
<v Speaker 2>loose to Clemson in a bowl game. And then this

274
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:22.559
<v Speaker 2>is something I heard briefly on Matt's postgame show Saturday

275
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.360
<v Speaker 2>when I was heading out of here from our postgame show,

276
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:26.960
<v Speaker 2>and this makes total sense. Like he didn't break down

277
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.919
<v Speaker 2>any numbers, but this makes sense. People did pony up.

278
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:34.759
<v Speaker 2>They did. You know, Kentucky didn't get a whole lot

279
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:38.960
<v Speaker 2>of transfer portal love as far as the rankings and whatnot,

280
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.159
<v Speaker 2>because they didn't add that many guys. They did add Vandergriff,

281
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:45.440
<v Speaker 2>which I'm sure was a big in Il contribution to

282
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:50.200
<v Speaker 2>get him from Georgia. They brought in a kid from

283
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:52.360
<v Speaker 2>another kid from Georgia on the defensive line. Like they

284
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:54.799
<v Speaker 2>got some guys that Nil clearly needed to be in

285
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:57.559
<v Speaker 2>a good place for them to get. But I think

286
00:13:57.639 --> 00:13:59.200
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the pony and up money that came

287
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:01.679
<v Speaker 2>in was to keep guys like Dion Walker there, to

288
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.759
<v Speaker 2>keep guys like Berrying Brown there and Dane Key. So

289
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:08.480
<v Speaker 2>if you do have people that did in fact pony

290
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:10.639
<v Speaker 2>up and then you come out and get blasted by

291
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:14.320
<v Speaker 2>a bad South Carolina team, Like it sounds it sounds

292
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:15.960
<v Speaker 2>over the top to say this is like as low

293
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:19.639
<v Speaker 2>as fans have been with Stoops since you know, he

294
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:21.919
<v Speaker 2>got there and didn't win. But I kind of feel

295
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:24.000
<v Speaker 2>like it is. And yeah, it's only week two, But

296
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:25.639
<v Speaker 2>let's look at their schedule the rest of the way.

297
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Who do they have coming in this weekend? Oh, yeah, Georgia,

298
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:30.960
<v Speaker 2>a team that you know might be able to name

299
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:33.879
<v Speaker 2>the score if they want to. And then who do

300
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:37.080
<v Speaker 2>they have after that? Ohio, they'll win that, and then

301
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:42.679
<v Speaker 2>Ole miss the top five team. I mean their schedule

302
00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:44.720
<v Speaker 2>right now, the only teams that you feel like, you

303
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:49.919
<v Speaker 2>know you can beat is Ohio in Murray State. And yeah,

304
00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:51.919
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna claim they can beat Louisville still, And that's

305
00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:54.840
<v Speaker 2>why I get I get, you know, I get PTSD

306
00:14:54.919 --> 00:15:00.000
<v Speaker 2>from last year because Louisville losing to them last year

307
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:01.879
<v Speaker 2>will make it to where they could be three and

308
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:04.320
<v Speaker 2>eight going into that game and still feel like, well,

309
00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:07.320
<v Speaker 2>we'll beat Louisville And that may be ridiculous to say,

310
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:09.159
<v Speaker 2>but and I know last year's game in the year

311
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:10.600
<v Speaker 2>before that, and the year before that had nothing to

312
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:12.759
<v Speaker 2>do with this year's game. But like last year was

313
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:14.840
<v Speaker 2>the was the year for Louisville to end the streak,

314
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.000
<v Speaker 2>and they didn't, and it's gonna make it to where

315
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.080
<v Speaker 2>they could have the worst season ever. They could get

316
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:24.559
<v Speaker 2>beat by one hundred points on Saturday against Georgia and

317
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.000
<v Speaker 2>they might not be real loud and chesty. They'd probably be,

318
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, down in a major way, but they'll still

319
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:34.840
<v Speaker 2>be able to claim bragging rights and scoreboard against Louisville.

320
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:36.840
<v Speaker 2>And I just wish that would have ended when it

321
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:40.000
<v Speaker 2>should have ended last year. But as I said earlier,

322
00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:42.600
<v Speaker 2>because I did us some people asking this question when

323
00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I was talking about, you know, if the more Kentucky

324
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:46.600
<v Speaker 2>and I'll say this, like I'm just being honest with

325
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.519
<v Speaker 2>you as a Louisville fan, the more Kentucky sucks this

326
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:51.039
<v Speaker 2>year and the more Louisville succeeds if they do, in

327
00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:53.120
<v Speaker 2>fact have a good year. And when we get closer

328
00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:54.759
<v Speaker 2>to that game, it looks as if one team's gonna

329
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:57.360
<v Speaker 2>have a much different record in a much different situation

330
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.200
<v Speaker 2>than the other. That actually makes me get more workorried

331
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:04.120
<v Speaker 2>about the game, not because like I'm doubting Louisville and

332
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:06.440
<v Speaker 2>their ability to beat them. But it would be like

333
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:08.919
<v Speaker 2>the night the nightmare scenario, Like if you weres a

334
00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:11.440
<v Speaker 2>somehow lose to them this year when they they were

335
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:14.600
<v Speaker 2>really bad and you were really good, I mean, I

336
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:17.279
<v Speaker 2>don't even know. My head would explode. I wouldn't have

337
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:19.120
<v Speaker 2>the I would have to just start the postgame show

338
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.840
<v Speaker 2>and just you know, sing songs for you instead of

339
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:24.039
<v Speaker 2>giving analysis because I don't know what I would say

340
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:30.080
<v Speaker 2>now realistically speaking, if that situation did play out and

341
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:31.840
<v Speaker 2>they're just you know, and I know people say throw

342
00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:34.039
<v Speaker 2>the records out the window when it's a rivalry, and

343
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:38.000
<v Speaker 2>that's a cliche, and there have been examples as far

344
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:40.000
<v Speaker 2>as results in a rivalry where it, you know, it

345
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:43.200
<v Speaker 2>makes sense why that's a cliche. But like if Kentucky's

346
00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:46.519
<v Speaker 2>got three wins in Week twelve against Louisville and louisvill

347
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:48.320
<v Speaker 2>was a non win team and Louisville somehow got up

348
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:51.600
<v Speaker 2>like seventeen or twenty one, that's the kind of scenario

349
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:54.120
<v Speaker 2>that late in a year where a team with three

350
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:57.120
<v Speaker 2>wins in their last game that's already down big, they're

351
00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:00.559
<v Speaker 2>gonna fold. That's just that's how sports works. Man like you,

352
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:03.240
<v Speaker 2>the human element would kick in. You can't convince yourself

353
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:06.200
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna be okay because we've proven ourselves to be

354
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:08.160
<v Speaker 2>able to come back and win games this year. Oh wait, no,

355
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:11.759
<v Speaker 2>we haven't. We suck like so, I'm not even going

356
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:14.200
<v Speaker 2>there as far as talking about the matchup. But the

357
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:16.799
<v Speaker 2>more I'm just gonna say it, if Kentucky continues to

358
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:20.200
<v Speaker 2>really underwhelm and Louisville ends up having a really good year,

359
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:25.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna be worried about that game, just just because

360
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:28.880
<v Speaker 2>you know. I'm I'm that's me. I'm just being honest

361
00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:32.720
<v Speaker 2>with you, all right. FIBO two five seven seventy nine

<v Speaker 1>Sir?

370
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:50.759
<v Speaker 4>Hey, buddy? I should I I think that Steps has

371
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:51.400
<v Speaker 4>checked out.

372
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I think it certainly sounds like, yeah.

373
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:57.319
<v Speaker 4>He checked out, and the fans we're all we I mean,

374
00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:00.079
<v Speaker 4>I hate him, I'm loving but uh they're always the

375
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.480
<v Speaker 4>last you know. They You know, this is a thing

376
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:07.359
<v Speaker 4>where you pay too much too soon. The dude it's

377
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:11.920
<v Speaker 4>making bank and he's like, what are you gonna do?

378
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:15.559
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what his buyout is, but uh, this

379
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:19.079
<v Speaker 4>guy's checked out. Man, and the fans that just I

380
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:22.039
<v Speaker 4>love it. I mean, but I tell you what, Louisville

381
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:25.160
<v Speaker 4>better beat them. I tell you what, they better beat

382
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:28.640
<v Speaker 4>these guys because like, like you say, I don't know

383
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:33.279
<v Speaker 4>what it is. Well, man, they've come ready for us,

384
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:36.000
<v Speaker 4>and we act like we lack of days ago. I

385
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:39.400
<v Speaker 4>guess we're listening to the radio. I'm not convinced we

386
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:42.440
<v Speaker 4>would win that game because of the history of us

387
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:45.480
<v Speaker 4>just not getting up. You gotta put hatred in these boys,

388
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:48.799
<v Speaker 4>art Man, those Kentucky guys hate us.

389
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I appreciate the call, man. I think the

390
00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:56.440
<v Speaker 2>not being able to get up and kind of match

391
00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:58.680
<v Speaker 2>the hate that was a sadderfield thing. And if you

392
00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:00.839
<v Speaker 2>missed the four o'clock hour, I mean I kind of

393
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.720
<v Speaker 2>expanded and gave even more evidence now up in Cincinnati

394
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:06.319
<v Speaker 2>that supports what I've said for a long time about

395
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:10.200
<v Speaker 2>sad he just ain't built for a rivalry in any way.

396
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:14.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Miami Ohio considers himself a rival to Cincinnati.

397
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:16.640
<v Speaker 2>He lost to them last year, by the way, So

398
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:19.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm not ready to claim that bron won't have these

399
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:21.839
<v Speaker 2>guys because, by the way, and I mean this, there's

400
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:24.079
<v Speaker 2>nobody more pissed off about Louisville losing that game last

401
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:27.319
<v Speaker 2>year to Kentucky than Jeff Brown. Nobody doesn't mean they're

402
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:29.720
<v Speaker 2>guaranteed to win it this year, but it's gonna be

403
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:32.920
<v Speaker 2>quite It's gonna be well known that they they're a

404
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:35.480
<v Speaker 2>team that it's gonna be well known within that locker

405
00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:37.759
<v Speaker 2>room that this team there's something on the line here

406
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:39.559
<v Speaker 2>that's a little bit more than just one more win

407
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:42.400
<v Speaker 2>on your schedule, one more win on your resume. Again,

408
00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:44.920
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't guarantee that you're gonna win. And last year

409
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:46.880
<v Speaker 2>they were ready to play. They just I mean, everything

410
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:48.960
<v Speaker 2>that could have gone wrong and it's their fault. Like

411
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:51.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not taking anything away from Kentucky and acting like

412
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:54.759
<v Speaker 2>Louisville didn't play poorly, because they did. That's why they lost.

413
00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:58.200
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, I'm not. And again, the streak sucks.

414
00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:02.519
<v Speaker 2>It sucks in a major way, meaning this many losses

415
00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:06.519
<v Speaker 2>to to Kentucky. In Kentucky fans, if I was you,

416
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:08.400
<v Speaker 2>I'd do the same thing I would. I would bring

417
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:10.279
<v Speaker 2>up how long it's been since Louis will beat you.

418
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:13.799
<v Speaker 2>But you know, from a Louisville fans perspective, I know

419
00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:16.519
<v Speaker 2>that every game but one of those games in this

420
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:19.640
<v Speaker 2>streak was from an inferior coach that's no longer here.

421
00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Jeff brom is a good coach, and I think he

422
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:24.279
<v Speaker 2>had n'im ready to play last year. That just it

423
00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:27.119
<v Speaker 2>didn't work out for him. And again I'm I mean,

424
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:31.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how he's going to articulate it without,

425
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:34.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, making him a little bit overly amped up

426
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:36.319
<v Speaker 2>or maybe a little bit on the edge. But it's

427
00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:39.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you, nobody was more pissed and it's still

428
00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:42.680
<v Speaker 2>more pissed about losing to Kentucky last year than Jeff Brown. Again,

429
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:44.839
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't guarantee that they will win, but I don't

430
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't worry about having to match the energy for

431
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:50.519
<v Speaker 2>the rivalry. I mean, that doesn't guarantee you win, as

432
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:53.200
<v Speaker 2>I've said many times, but with Sad, I don't. I

433
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:55.599
<v Speaker 2>think SAT was scared and it rubbed off on his

434
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:57.680
<v Speaker 2>team at times. I mean that I think that's what

435
00:20:57.720 --> 00:20:59.799
<v Speaker 2>it was. He got alpha by Mark Stoops.

436
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:00.440
<v Speaker 1>All.

437
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:02.079
<v Speaker 2>Right, back to the thon Onnea about you've out seven

438
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:04.359
<v Speaker 2>one seventy nine. Let's go to Steve. Steve, you're on

439
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:05.279
<v Speaker 2>Sports Talk seven ninety.

440
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:07.559
<v Speaker 5>What's up, hey, Nick? I want to I want to

441
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:11.079
<v Speaker 5>make a caveat that. I am not a Kentucky fan.

442
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:13.960
<v Speaker 5>But here's the thing. You know, I've heard people today saying, well,

443
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:16.759
<v Speaker 5>the fans just don't know they're winning. They're much better

444
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:18.680
<v Speaker 5>than when he got there and all this stuff. But

445
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:21.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, the fans have been asked, as we have,

446
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:24.200
<v Speaker 5>I guess, put up more and more money. They built

447
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:27.960
<v Speaker 5>some nice facilities, But two and twenty eight, if against

448
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:31.799
<v Speaker 5>winning teams in the SEC is not is not acceptable.

449
00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:34.759
<v Speaker 5>And I think the fans, probably the Kentucky fans, have

450
00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:37.200
<v Speaker 5>had it sure, and they're just like, I'm sick of

451
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:41.039
<v Speaker 5>this now. Could this be somewhat of an outlier what

452
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:43.039
<v Speaker 5>happened the other day? I don't know. I don't think so.

453
00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:45.880
<v Speaker 5>They were just handled too easily. But you know, we're

454
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:47.920
<v Speaker 5>gonna find out in the next couple of weeks. And

455
00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:50.279
<v Speaker 5>I will admit they have a tough schedule. Yeah, but

456
00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:52.640
<v Speaker 5>two and twenty eight, I don't think I've talked to

457
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:54.759
<v Speaker 5>some Munikay fans that just doesn't cut it. I mean,

458
00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:58.279
<v Speaker 5>especially if you're being asked to open your checkbook continuously.

459
00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:00.960
<v Speaker 2>So, no doubt about it. I appreciate the call, Steve

460
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:03.440
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to again, That's why I said, I mean,

461
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:06.599
<v Speaker 2>I think it's quite clear they did have they did

462
00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:09.160
<v Speaker 2>have some guys pony up, because that's how they were

463
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:11.160
<v Speaker 2>able to retain the roster and go get guys in

464
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:14.039
<v Speaker 2>the portal. And when you're stoops and you're complaining about

465
00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:16.480
<v Speaker 2>all you have to do with nil, whenever you're making

466
00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:19.759
<v Speaker 2>the amount of money you're making and you know clearly

467
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:22.799
<v Speaker 2>people are paying and you're still being negative about the

468
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:25.599
<v Speaker 2>situation about how much that goes into it, I mean

469
00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:28.160
<v Speaker 2>people are going to say, okay, I mean I could

470
00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:30.599
<v Speaker 2>not pony up and we can still beat average at

471
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:32.759
<v Speaker 2>best and lose to teams that are good in our league.

472
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:35.079
<v Speaker 2>I could have saved half a million dollars. Like so

473
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:40.480
<v Speaker 2>I get it from that standpoint. And anytime you are

474
00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:44.759
<v Speaker 2>a coach and you've sustained results that are not great

475
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:49.039
<v Speaker 2>but clearly better, than before, like bringing up where you were,

476
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Like if Stoops ever brings up where Kentucky football was

477
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:55.000
<v Speaker 2>prior to him arriving. I know he did that a

478
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:56.599
<v Speaker 2>few years ago, but if he was to do it now,

479
00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:59.480
<v Speaker 2>like that's the ultimate sign this guy's checked out and

480
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:01.960
<v Speaker 2>feels like you guys are ungrateful and it's just probably

481
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:04.559
<v Speaker 2>time for that thing to end. All right, quick break,

482
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:07.279
<v Speaker 2>we'll come back on the other side. I wish I

483
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:08.559
<v Speaker 2>had more time because there's a lot I want to

484
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:09.880
<v Speaker 2>get into, but we'll make the most of the time

485
00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:15.000
<v Speaker 2>we have right here on Sports Talk seven ninety. That's right.

486
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:17.799
<v Speaker 2>It is Coffee and Company fueled by Thornton's on Sports

487
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:19.559
<v Speaker 2>Talk seven ninety. You don't forget you could take us

488
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:22.200
<v Speaker 2>with you whatever you go. Listen live on the iHeartRadio app.

489
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Also listen live at seven ninety Louisville dot Com. All right,

490
00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:30.000
<v Speaker 2>so we got to talk about Colorado Nebraska really just

491
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:34.799
<v Speaker 2>embarrassing them in a major way, bullied them outclass them.

492
00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:40.079
<v Speaker 2>And I think it's actually really really simple what's going

493
00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:47.200
<v Speaker 2>on with Dion Sanders. He's really a private football coach

494
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:52.319
<v Speaker 2>for three people, Travis Hunter and his two sons, Shador

495
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Sanders and Shiloh Sanders. He's masquerading as a head football coach,

496
00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:59.440
<v Speaker 2>but he's not that. He's a politician, he's a hype man.

497
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:04.480
<v Speaker 2>He's not a football coach. And they didn't get any

498
00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:07.440
<v Speaker 2>better in the areas they struggled in last year. They

499
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:10.240
<v Speaker 2>can't run the ball, their offensive line stinks, they can't

500
00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:16.880
<v Speaker 2>protect their quarterback. Their play callers is clearly being told

501
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:19.599
<v Speaker 2>to do things to try to make shit over look good.

502
00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:22.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean they just drop back, try to do air

503
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:26.279
<v Speaker 2>raid just to show off his son's ability at quarterback.

504
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:28.720
<v Speaker 2>And he's got a really good weapon in Travis Hunter.

505
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:30.680
<v Speaker 2>But you know what Matt Rule and his team they

506
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:34.039
<v Speaker 2>schemed for that, they were ready to play. They neutralized

507
00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:37.200
<v Speaker 2>him because you know, that's what teams can do that

508
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:40.839
<v Speaker 2>are well coached and prepared. Colorado is a clown show.

509
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:45.160
<v Speaker 2>And I don't even think that score was is. I mean,

510
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:48.079
<v Speaker 2>they could have beat him by a lot worse. And

511
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:53.759
<v Speaker 2>at the core, I believe a coach is a leader.

512
00:24:54.599 --> 00:24:58.359
<v Speaker 2>That's what a coach is a leader. And you can

513
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:03.119
<v Speaker 2>lead differently. There are various different styles to lead. I'd

514
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:07.240
<v Speaker 2>say your leadership style is probably based off of your personality.

515
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:11.240
<v Speaker 2>But he's not a leon. Sanders isn't a leader. Wasn't

516
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:13.759
<v Speaker 2>as a player, isn't as a coach. He's not a leader.

517
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:18.319
<v Speaker 2>He's a me guy. That's what he was as a player.

518
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:24.119
<v Speaker 2>That's what he is as a coach. His son also

519
00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:29.319
<v Speaker 2>terrible leader, no accountability. Nobody's surprised by it because it's

520
00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:34.400
<v Speaker 2>really exactly what you would expect. But his son, you know,

521
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:37.000
<v Speaker 2>after an embarrassing loss as a quarterback, you think he'd

522
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:39.400
<v Speaker 2>be a leader. I'm sure he was named a team captain,

523
00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:42.599
<v Speaker 2>probably not by his peers, but probably by his dad.

524
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:45.440
<v Speaker 2>And if it was by his peers, they probably knew

525
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:48.200
<v Speaker 2>that if they didn't vote his son as the captain

526
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:50.920
<v Speaker 2>of the team, they probably wouldn't play. And these are

527
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:53.119
<v Speaker 2>things that yeah, I'm you know, tongue in cheek a

528
00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:55.119
<v Speaker 2>little bit, but like, would anybody be shocked if that's true?

529
00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:56.480
<v Speaker 3>No, look at what this is.

530
00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:00.240
<v Speaker 2>And when asked after the game, his son and who

531
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:01.960
<v Speaker 2>you know people want to believe could be the face

532
00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:04.759
<v Speaker 2>of an NFL franchise as a quarterback, his son should

533
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:09.680
<v Speaker 2>or he blamed his own line to the media. He

534
00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:13.519
<v Speaker 2>asked how many times did Nebraska's quarterback get touched, Like,

535
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:18.279
<v Speaker 2>who does that? People that aren't leaders, that aren't me,

536
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:21.799
<v Speaker 2>all about me, me me. That's what Dion was as

537
00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:23.599
<v Speaker 2>a player, that's what he's always been as a coach,

538
00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:26.440
<v Speaker 2>and now that's what Colorado is being led by. If

539
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:27.400
<v Speaker 2>you could even call it that.

540
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:31.079
<v Speaker 6>I mean, how many times did all the good tests?

541
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:35.200
<v Speaker 6>How many times did all the good tests? There was

542
00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:38.079
<v Speaker 6>a like, of course, of course, whenever you're able to

543
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:41.119
<v Speaker 6>run the ball consistently, and whenever you're able to then

544
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:43.319
<v Speaker 6>that opens up the past, you know, But it's just

545
00:26:43.400 --> 00:26:45.799
<v Speaker 6>like you got to understand, like what what your team

546
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.240
<v Speaker 6>good at. So it's like, why would we keep running

547
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:51.240
<v Speaker 6>the ball? If okay, we are we out there, we're

548
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:52.160
<v Speaker 6>goin to see you don't.

549
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Need to hear anymore of that. I mean, like, that's

550
00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:56.319
<v Speaker 2>that's a quarterback who you know, is supposed to be

551
00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:59.960
<v Speaker 2>a leader, who you know, was sent out to talk

552
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:02.440
<v Speaker 2>to the media because he's, you know, believed to be

553
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:04.119
<v Speaker 2>one of the leaders of the team. He's the quarterback.

554
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:10.039
<v Speaker 2>He asks why or sorry? He asked how many times

555
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:14.839
<v Speaker 2>the other team's quarterback got touched, and then talked about

556
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:16.799
<v Speaker 2>how his team can't run the ball. He's blaming his

557
00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:20.799
<v Speaker 2>Old Line, which you know, who would want to play

558
00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Old Line? Who would want to play for Colorado at all?

559
00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:27.920
<v Speaker 2>If you're not Travis Hunter or one of Deon sanders kids,

560
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:31.680
<v Speaker 2>who would want that? And again it's starting to get

561
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.279
<v Speaker 2>you can't make this stuff up levels, because I mean,

562
00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:40.200
<v Speaker 2>this is this is a real thing. Guys. This is

563
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:42.400
<v Speaker 2>not me. You know, this isn't made up. This isn't

564
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:44.119
<v Speaker 2>just something that ends up on the internet. This is true.

565
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:47.039
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know this. Did you know Deon Sanders' son

566
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:51.519
<v Speaker 2>is a rapper, like he makes music. I didn't know that.

567
00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:54.839
<v Speaker 2>I saw that Nebraska's team was the kind of trolling

568
00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:55.839
<v Speaker 2>back on his songs.

569
00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:56.079
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

570
00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:59.440
<v Speaker 2>In the locker room, Well we'll check this out. Deon

571
00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:03.799
<v Speaker 2>Sanders told the band that the that they they can't

572
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:07.839
<v Speaker 2>play the fight song if there's a touchdown that Shador

573
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:11.960
<v Speaker 2>is a part of. They need to play his song,

574
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:15.240
<v Speaker 2>his son's song that is called perfect Timing. The band

575
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:18.319
<v Speaker 2>was told they will not play after a touchdown, they

576
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:20.799
<v Speaker 2>won't play the fight song, but instead the PA and

577
00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:24.160
<v Speaker 2>out the PA is going to play Deon sanders son

578
00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:27.559
<v Speaker 2>Shador's single and it's called perfect Timing.

579
00:28:28.599 --> 00:28:30.759
<v Speaker 3>That is so cray not even talking about this song.

580
00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:32.759
<v Speaker 3>The whole situation is cringe.

581
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:37.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's it's secondhand embarrassment, right, like nobody like these

582
00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:40.079
<v Speaker 2>are people not with us in the real world, because

583
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:44.319
<v Speaker 2>again they they view them. I mean, Deon Sanders. It's

584
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:49.359
<v Speaker 2>not like he's stubborn. It's not like he's you know,

585
00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:53.119
<v Speaker 2>out here doing this just for a star. He's delusional.

586
00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:57.839
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't have any ability to to have self awareness

587
00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:01.079
<v Speaker 2>because he's never had to player. As an athlete, he

588
00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:04.960
<v Speaker 2>was sensational and he really is a pioneer in my

589
00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:07.559
<v Speaker 2>opinion as far as at you know, professional athletes in

590
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:10.720
<v Speaker 2>my time as a sports fan. Dude, he's the first

591
00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:14.480
<v Speaker 2>guy that comes to mind that could could be flashy,

592
00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:16.720
<v Speaker 2>could be arrogant, could show bo and he backed it

593
00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:19.359
<v Speaker 2>up as a player. But he wasn't a leader and

594
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:21.640
<v Speaker 2>he's not a leader as a coach. He's not a coach.

595
00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:25.880
<v Speaker 2>That I mean, if I'm proven wrong, I'll admit it.

596
00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:28.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm wrong a lot. But this is, this is right

597
00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:30.160
<v Speaker 2>in front of everybody's face to see what this is.

598
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:34.799
<v Speaker 2>He's not a coach. He's a personal you know, consultant

599
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:41.519
<v Speaker 2>essentially for Shadoor Sanders, Shiloh Sanders and Travis Hunter, and yeah,

600
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:44.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean he won a lot at Jackson State, and

601
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:47.079
<v Speaker 2>that's something that's not you know, I'm not just say

602
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:49.960
<v Speaker 2>that that doesn't matter, but like he was able to

603
00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:55.200
<v Speaker 2>utilize his brand, his ability to be a politician, his

604
00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:58.759
<v Speaker 2>ability to sell for him to go get players that

605
00:29:58.880 --> 00:30:00.960
<v Speaker 2>should never be at Jackson State. They should be at

606
00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:03.960
<v Speaker 2>top schools like Travis Hunter was. And that's how you

607
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:08.680
<v Speaker 2>win there. It didn't take coaching. I mean, and I

608
00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:11.039
<v Speaker 2>do think he's probably a deep down a competitor because

609
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:13.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he could be as successful in life

610
00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:15.839
<v Speaker 2>as he's been if he's not a competitor. But he's

611
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:17.960
<v Speaker 2>out of his element. Man, he ain't a coach. He

612
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:20.359
<v Speaker 2>doesn't know how to coach his own staff. He doesn't

613
00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:22.559
<v Speaker 2>know how to lead his own staff, which is why

614
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:29.079
<v Speaker 2>guys bail all the time. And I don't know why

615
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:31.799
<v Speaker 2>I take such satisfaction, But then again, it's just it's

616
00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:34.799
<v Speaker 2>it's part. I mean, not everybody is the same, but

617
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:37.720
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of people taking great joy in seeing

618
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:40.599
<v Speaker 2>these guys fail because of how they carry themselves. Mostly

619
00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:45.519
<v Speaker 2>should Or Sanders, Shiloh Sanders, and Deon Sanders. Travis Hunter

620
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:47.240
<v Speaker 2>seems like an all right guy. I don't know enough

621
00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:49.160
<v Speaker 2>about him. He's and he can back it up as

622
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:52.119
<v Speaker 2>a player. But you saw him yelling at Dion the

623
00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:54.160
<v Speaker 2>other night. He knows what's up. He wants to compete

624
00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:55.759
<v Speaker 2>and win, and that's not They're not built to do that.

625
00:30:56.160 --> 00:31:02.279
<v Speaker 2>It's all for show. And you know Nebraska, John, you'd

626
00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:03.960
<v Speaker 2>know this. They were expected to be better this year

627
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:05.960
<v Speaker 2>on their matter, Well, no doubt, Like are they They're

628
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:07.599
<v Speaker 2>not believed to be a contender in them. They're not

629
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:10.000
<v Speaker 2>ranked yet, are they? They're number twenty three? Actually they

630
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:11.039
<v Speaker 2>get the people.

631
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:12.960
<v Speaker 3>So I mean, I think they're expected to kind of

632
00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:15.200
<v Speaker 3>be like the second tier of the Big Ten. But

633
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:17.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean they're still yet to really prove it against

634
00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:18.720
<v Speaker 3>good competition.

635
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the team that embarrassed Colorado the other night, and

636
00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:26.119
<v Speaker 2>it could have been worse, has the longest Bowl appearance

637
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:30.960
<v Speaker 2>drought in power for football. They might know that. That's crazy,

638
00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:34.480
<v Speaker 2>especially considering it's Nebraska. Yes, but they got Colorado State

639
00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:38.039
<v Speaker 2>next week at Colorado State, a game that they'll probably

640
00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:39.839
<v Speaker 2>win just because they'll have way better talent. I think

641
00:31:39.880 --> 00:31:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Colorado State actually really sucks this year. Maybe I'm wrong. Actually,

642
00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:44.920
<v Speaker 2>didn't they compete with somebody. They went well last year,

643
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:48.480
<v Speaker 2>I feel like being a close game, and if you remember,

644
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Norvelle was was he wasn't backing down because again, like

645
00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:54.599
<v Speaker 2>if you're if you're a coach, and this is your industry,

646
00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:57.359
<v Speaker 2>this is your livelihood, this is where you know you've

647
00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:00.400
<v Speaker 2>had to grind your way. Look, I Dion was great

648
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:01.880
<v Speaker 2>at it and he didn't have to grind his way

649
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:03.559
<v Speaker 2>up and he was still successful. That's one thing. But

650
00:32:03.599 --> 00:32:06.480
<v Speaker 2>for this guy to get all the attention only for

651
00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:09.920
<v Speaker 2>TMZ type stuff, it ain't a good look for coaches

652
00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:12.680
<v Speaker 2>to call that out and you know and show jealousy.

653
00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:15.160
<v Speaker 2>But I mean they're humans too, and that's got to

654
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:18.480
<v Speaker 2>piss them off. Yeah, they lost fifty two to nothing

655
00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:22.759
<v Speaker 2>to Texas and then beat Northern Colorado thirty eight to seventeen.

656
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:25.599
<v Speaker 2>So I would imagine this Saturday, it'll be a blowout,

657
00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Colorado probably getting the best of them. Then Colorado plays UTEP,

658
00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:32.200
<v Speaker 2>a game that they'll probably win again. Then it's organ

659
00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:34.440
<v Speaker 2>like they don't even have a tough schedule. I'm sorry,

660
00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:37.599
<v Speaker 2>never mind my apologies. I'm looking at sorry, I'm looking

661
00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:40.839
<v Speaker 2>at Colorado State schedule. So after they play Colorado State,

662
00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:45.000
<v Speaker 2>then they play Baylor, Central, Florida, Kansas State, Arizona, Cincinnati.

663
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:47.759
<v Speaker 2>What if Sat beats him at M Boulder, would you

664
00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:49.160
<v Speaker 2>want Sat to win that game?

665
00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:49.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

666
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Hell yeah? Okay, oh hell yeah. Like I mean, and

667
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:56.759
<v Speaker 2>I get like it's funny, like I'd not said anything

668
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:01.440
<v Speaker 2>that anybody can prove to be made up or I

669
00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:03.680
<v Speaker 2>mean like I'm sharing an opinion when I talk about Dion,

670
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:08.039
<v Speaker 2>but I'm also laying out facts and nobody's got any

671
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:10.559
<v Speaker 2>facts to tell me what I'm saying is unreasonable or

672
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:13.279
<v Speaker 2>not true. And our phone lines do get get get

673
00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:16.279
<v Speaker 2>get lit pretty quick when I talk Dion sometimes, and

674
00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:19.839
<v Speaker 2>I think it's because people act like I'm I'm just

675
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:23.119
<v Speaker 2>a hater. No, I'm I mean what it's it's not

676
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:24.880
<v Speaker 2>even I mean, I am a hater, trust me. And

677
00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:26.640
<v Speaker 2>it's bothered me because I'm like, why do I care?

678
00:33:26.920 --> 00:33:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Why was the best thing that happened to me on Saturday?

679
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Not Kentucky getting curb stomped, but Dion in Colorado. It's

680
00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:37.400
<v Speaker 2>because when you act so accomplished and present yourself as

681
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:40.039
<v Speaker 2>if you've done something when you haven't, it's just I

682
00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:42.559
<v Speaker 2>think it's normal human nature, maybe not to have the

683
00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:46.319
<v Speaker 2>kind of vitriol that I have. But like you get humbled,

684
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:48.119
<v Speaker 2>people want to see you humbled when you act like that.

685
00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:49.799
<v Speaker 2>And Dion's never had to be humbled in his life

686
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:52.079
<v Speaker 2>at anything, because he's been great. It's just about everything

687
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:55.240
<v Speaker 2>he's done other than coaching, and he's really bad at that,

688
00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:58.480
<v Speaker 2>it seems. All right, quick break, we'll come back on

689
00:33:58.559 --> 00:34:01.000
<v Speaker 2>the other side, and finally, I'll let you guys hear

690
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:05.400
<v Speaker 2>the call from the Northern Illinois radio play by play

691
00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:07.400
<v Speaker 2>guy as they pulled off a huge upset, the biggest

692
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.039
<v Speaker 2>upset in their history and probably gonna be the biggest

693
00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:12.519
<v Speaker 2>up set we see this year in college football. All right,

694
00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:14.199
<v Speaker 2>don't go anywhere. We'll come back and wrap things up

695
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:18.800
<v Speaker 2>right here on Sports Talk seven ninety. That's right, we

696
00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:22.119
<v Speaker 2>are wrapping up a Monday edition of Coffee and Company

697
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:24.760
<v Speaker 2>fueled by Thornton's right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

698
00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:27.559
<v Speaker 2>Let me got Let me tell you guys once again

699
00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:30.559
<v Speaker 2>about the Jefferson Animal Hospital. I don't know if you

700
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:32.719
<v Speaker 2>guys were aware of this. I was not until I

701
00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:35.320
<v Speaker 2>got educated by the fine folks at Jefferson Animal Hospital

702
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:38.760
<v Speaker 2>that your dog or cat can be a can donate

703
00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:41.079
<v Speaker 2>blood just like you can, just like both of us can.

704
00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:43.159
<v Speaker 2>So if your dog is over fifty pounds or your

705
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:45.280
<v Speaker 2>cat is at least ten pounds, they may qualify to

706
00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:48.199
<v Speaker 2>be a pet blood donor, where every donation can save

707
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:51.199
<v Speaker 2>up to four to six lives plus. By doing this,

708
00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:53.840
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna get all kinds of benefits for your pet

709
00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:58.239
<v Speaker 2>becoming a blood donor, including regular examinations, blood work, vaccines,

710
00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:00.960
<v Speaker 2>all at Jefferson Animal Hospit on outer loop for more

711
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:03.639
<v Speaker 2>information on how your dog or cat can become a

712
00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:06.199
<v Speaker 2>pet blood donor called five OO two nine hundred pets

713
00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:09.400
<v Speaker 2>or visit pet bloodbank dot com. Again, it is Jefferson

714
00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Animal Hospital. They've been doing this for a long time, folks.

715
00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:14.480
<v Speaker 2>They've been in this Louisville community for over forty four

716
00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:19.119
<v Speaker 2>years and they are I mean, they're in a class

717
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:20.960
<v Speaker 2>of their own, at least in my opinion. As far

718
00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:24.519
<v Speaker 2>as when you have an emergency with your pet, especially

719
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:27.000
<v Speaker 2>on like a holiday, like you know you're you're panicked,

720
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:29.840
<v Speaker 2>but you can always trust them. They're open twenty four

721
00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:33.559
<v Speaker 2>to seven including Christmas, So when an emergency happens, obviously

722
00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:35.880
<v Speaker 2>it's not expected. That's why it's an emergency, but just

723
00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:38.440
<v Speaker 2>know you can trust the team at Jefferson Animal Hospital,

724
00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:43.159
<v Speaker 2>all right. So Northern Illinois went in was awesome, and

725
00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:45.239
<v Speaker 2>I know that it did sort of, you know, dampen

726
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:47.159
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of the opportunity that's going to be

727
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:48.719
<v Speaker 2>there for louisvill when they go up to South Bend.

728
00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:52.239
<v Speaker 2>But I didn't care, man. I love upsets. I love

729
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:55.280
<v Speaker 2>underdog stories in college sports. We're kind of losing that

730
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:58.480
<v Speaker 2>a little bit, right because it's professional sports on steroids

731
00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:00.719
<v Speaker 2>now with all the nil money and all that. So

732
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:03.440
<v Speaker 2>to see or Lean Illinois pull off this upset, and

733
00:36:03.559 --> 00:36:06.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, they're not a team built with a roster

734
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:08.920
<v Speaker 2>full of guys that are there because of money. They're

735
00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:11.239
<v Speaker 2>hard workers that you know, knew they probably were given

736
00:36:11.280 --> 00:36:13.079
<v Speaker 2>no chance by anybody else. But they still came in

737
00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:14.960
<v Speaker 2>and pulled off the upset against the Irish. And this

738
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:18.000
<v Speaker 2>is what it sounded like from the NIU radio local

739
00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:20.519
<v Speaker 2>the NIU radio call on the local side.

740
00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:23.920
<v Speaker 1>He's lining it up five seconds left, then I you

741
00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:29.559
<v Speaker 1>up sixteen fourteen sixty two yarder snap poll Jeters kick.

742
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:31.920
<v Speaker 4>This fuck it's fucked. It's fucked.

743
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:33.159
<v Speaker 2>Big up by yea you.

744
00:36:33.639 --> 00:36:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Big up by ye husies has done it the Hussies

745
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:39.159
<v Speaker 1>with the biggest.

746
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Upset and are you his story?

747
00:36:41.239 --> 00:36:44.119
<v Speaker 1>They come to South in Indiana and they knock off

748
00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:46.400
<v Speaker 1>the number five team in the country.

749
00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:50.000
<v Speaker 2>The head coach, I mean that guy. I mean, what

750
00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:53.320
<v Speaker 2>a very emotional interview he did after the game, and

751
00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:56.199
<v Speaker 2>uh that just I mean, not to be corny, but

752
00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:58.679
<v Speaker 2>that that was such a feel good moment for everybody

753
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:00.760
<v Speaker 2>that isn't a Notre Dame fan, because most people who

754
00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:02.760
<v Speaker 2>aren't Notre Dame fans probably don't like Notre Dame. I know,

755
00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:05.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I've never understood the hate they get, but

756
00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:07.679
<v Speaker 2>like I get why people are, you know, like they're

757
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:10.000
<v Speaker 2>one of those brands in sports that you either are

758
00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:13.000
<v Speaker 2>all in or you probably prefer they lose. And I

759
00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:15.480
<v Speaker 2>was happy that they lost and U and I mentioned

760
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:16.000
<v Speaker 2>before too.

761
00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:19.079
<v Speaker 3>From from my perspective, there's a lot of Indiana basketball

762
00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:21.800
<v Speaker 3>fans that like to they pair that with a Notre

763
00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:24.719
<v Speaker 3>Dame football instead of Indiana football. Never been a big

764
00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:26.480
<v Speaker 3>fan of that. So if you're one of those guys

765
00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:29.360
<v Speaker 3>and you know it's lame, man, you can just be lame.

766
00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:31.639
<v Speaker 2>I guess this guy is an n IU dad in

767
00:37:31.760 --> 00:37:34.039
<v Speaker 2>the stands after the game, and I thought what he this,

768
00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:36.159
<v Speaker 2>This to me was just awesome. This is what he

769
00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:37.719
<v Speaker 2>said when somebody pulled out the phone and they were

770
00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:41.440
<v Speaker 2>videoing the visiting parents that were there watching their sons

771
00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:49.239
<v Speaker 2>pull off such a big upset. Yeah, hell no, let

772
00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:53.760
<v Speaker 2>them all. I'm sure you guys could make it out.

773
00:37:54.039 --> 00:37:56.000
<v Speaker 2>But if not, he said, all I want to know

774
00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:58.440
<v Speaker 2>is who in the hell left that gate open and

775
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:01.400
<v Speaker 2>let them dogs out there? Of course in the Huskies.

776
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:03.119
<v Speaker 2>That was It was great. And by the way, speaking

777
00:38:03.199 --> 00:38:07.599
<v Speaker 2>of Notre Dame football Indiana basketball fans, I think some

778
00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:09.519
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky fans are going back to what they used to do,

779
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:13.159
<v Speaker 2>which is, you know, I'm a big fan of big

780
00:38:13.239 --> 00:38:16.239
<v Speaker 2>fan of Kentucky basketball, but I'm an Alabama football fan.

781
00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:19.360
<v Speaker 2>This was a Kentucky fan being interviewed leaving Commonwealth on Saturday.

782
00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:21.880
<v Speaker 3>Where do we go from here?

783
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:22.719
<v Speaker 4>Where's the what?

784
00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:24.360
<v Speaker 2>How do we how do we finish the season? Are

785
00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:27.480
<v Speaker 2>we getting five way? Weber to Alabama and we go

786
00:38:27.559 --> 00:38:30.880
<v Speaker 2>over to Alabama and we root for them losers. All right,

787
00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:33.559
<v Speaker 2>have a good night, everybody, see tomorrow or I'll talk

788
00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:35.079
<v Speaker 2>to you tomorrow here because it's radio
