00:00:02.279 --> 00:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick coffee.

3
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:23.480
<v Speaker 2>One hour down, two more to go. Here on a

4
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:28.879
<v Speaker 2>Wednesday afternoon. Happy hump day, ladies and gentlemen. I'm feeling

5
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:31.359
<v Speaker 2>good now. We got some good energy, but I'm running

6
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:33.679
<v Speaker 2>on very little sleep. And I don't say that to complain.

7
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:36.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm just, you know, I feel like I'm sharing what

8
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:38.759
<v Speaker 2>a lot of you are probably feeling today. If you're

9
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:40.600
<v Speaker 2>a Louisville fan, you probably stayed up later than you

10
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:42.240
<v Speaker 2>typically do. I don't know, maybe you stay up all night.

11
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure, but if I tried to go to

12
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:46.439
<v Speaker 2>bed as soon as the game ended, it would.

13
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:48.960
<v Speaker 3>Have been very, very, very difficult to do, because it's.

14
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:51.280
<v Speaker 4>Very hard to wind down right after a Yeah.

15
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:53.520
<v Speaker 2>It look Louisville played at nine o'clock game against SMU

16
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.320
<v Speaker 2>last month and they won by a billion. It seemed

17
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:58.399
<v Speaker 2>like and I still had a tough time, But that

18
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:00.520
<v Speaker 2>was a little b different because you were your energy

19
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.039
<v Speaker 2>level was high because not of stress and anxiety, but

20
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:08.239
<v Speaker 2>like you were feeling, you know, euphoria. Maybe that's not

21
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:10.159
<v Speaker 2>the right word to use, but I mean to see Lowell.

22
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:11.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I kind of feel like that SMU game

23
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:13.480
<v Speaker 2>because the records that were broken, just because they were

24
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 2>so good in that game, and SMU was believed to

25
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:17.879
<v Speaker 2>be and still is one of the better teams in

26
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:19.760
<v Speaker 2>the ACC. Like that was kind of the moment where

27
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:21.480
<v Speaker 2>was like, Okay, I know this team's playing in a

28
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.680
<v Speaker 2>bad ACC this year, but man, like they look good

29
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:27.799
<v Speaker 2>right now and you're still on. It's like whenever I

30
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.560
<v Speaker 2>do a show at night, which I don't do them anymore,

31
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.959
<v Speaker 2>but when I would do a show for Postgame and

32
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 2>it would be late into the evening, like the same thing,

33
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 2>like not because I mean, I'm like when you're all

34
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:41.840
<v Speaker 2>when I'm on here for three hours, I'm not. You know,

35
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:44.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm not on cocaine, but you know, you gotta be on.

36
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.400
<v Speaker 2>You gotta be energized, and that usually makes it tough

37
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:50.439
<v Speaker 2>to just, you know, all of a sudden, walk upstairs

38
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 2>from me doing the show in the basement and go

39
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.079
<v Speaker 2>to bed. So last night I was up late and

40
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.959
<v Speaker 2>I ended up walking into my son's room and I

41
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.359
<v Speaker 2>got him a PS four and he's excited. But I

42
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:01.040
<v Speaker 2>didn't know. You I've been out of the gaming world

43
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:03.040
<v Speaker 2>and never was really into it. But I used to

44
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.400
<v Speaker 2>have to go buy games at you know, game Stop

45
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.879
<v Speaker 2>or Walmart. They still do video games, right, I feel

46
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:11.240
<v Speaker 2>like that's where it does. I feel like it's where

47
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:12.759
<v Speaker 2>a bottle my video games. But now you don't buy

48
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:13.240
<v Speaker 2>him anymore.

49
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.039
<v Speaker 4>Right, yeah, it is game Stop. There's still a thing. Right.

50
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.479
<v Speaker 2>I don't know asking the wrong guy, but I didn't

51
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:21.439
<v Speaker 2>realize that you download games and then you install them

52
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:25.159
<v Speaker 2>and they're like eight gigabytes. So by the time he

53
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 2>went to bed, he still couldn't play his PlayStation because

54
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.520
<v Speaker 2>we had to wait for NBA two K twenty five

55
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.159
<v Speaker 2>to get to get downloaded and installed. But I went

56
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 2>in his room to turn his light off because he

57
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 2>was in bed with his mom, and I realized it

58
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:39.199
<v Speaker 2>was done.

59
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:40.360
<v Speaker 3>I was like, well, I don't know, I don't give

60
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:41.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna.

61
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:42.639
<v Speaker 2>Test this south Sea how it works, because I thought,

62
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:44.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, he's never played before, at least not on

63
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:45.280
<v Speaker 2>a PlayStation.

64
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.080
<v Speaker 3>Maybe I'll have to figure out how to show him

65
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 3>how to play.

66
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:52.520
<v Speaker 2>And sure enough I remembered how to play, and I thought, okay,

67
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.039
<v Speaker 2>let me let me just give it this a shot.

68
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:55.879
<v Speaker 2>Let me fire up a game, grab the stick. Yes,

69
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:57.879
<v Speaker 2>I played a game and then I was like, hey,

70
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.159
<v Speaker 2>that was fun. And I was working the stick. So

71
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:03.360
<v Speaker 2>I was the I was the Oklahoma City Thunder. We

72
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.319
<v Speaker 2>were talking about him yesterday, right yeah. And I played

73
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:08.840
<v Speaker 2>the Mavericks and I won, and I was like, you

74
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:09.879
<v Speaker 2>know what, let me switch it up and be a

75
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:10.319
<v Speaker 2>different team.

76
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:11.039
<v Speaker 3>I was my Pacers.

77
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:13.759
<v Speaker 2>And then I got to halftime of that game, I

78
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.560
<v Speaker 2>was I was cooking and I realized what am I doing?

79
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.479
<v Speaker 3>Like I kind of got lost.

80
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.400
<v Speaker 2>In the moment there where I played video games for

81
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.879
<v Speaker 2>about an hour and a half and I realized one

82
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 2>now I'm even more like I mean, I was into

83
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:28.360
<v Speaker 2>it so very little sleep. But I didn't have somebody

84
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.680
<v Speaker 2>that reached out on the text line that said they're

85
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:33.159
<v Speaker 2>forty three years old and the only video game they

86
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.039
<v Speaker 2>played when they were young was was Nintendo. Like you

87
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:40.240
<v Speaker 2>know Mario, which that's a game, right, Like that's Mario

88
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.039
<v Speaker 2>of course. Yeah, but like before Mario Kart, like because

89
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.639
<v Speaker 2>I missed I missed the original Nintendo, like sure, the

90
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 2>first like the systems that were around whenever I was

91
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:50.800
<v Speaker 2>a kid, where kids my you know, kids my age,

92
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.520
<v Speaker 2>were getting systems. We were past Nintendo. It was Super

93
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Nintendo and Sega Genesis. Right, my first ever system was

94
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.360
<v Speaker 2>a Sega Genesis. But anyways, this person on the text

95
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:01.759
<v Speaker 2>line said that they they never played games other than

96
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.280
<v Speaker 2>the original Nintendo when they were young, and now they

97
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:07.080
<v Speaker 2>play like Call of Duty every night with their friends

98
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.240
<v Speaker 2>and they love it. So hey, I guess you can

99
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:13.080
<v Speaker 2>pick up the habit or hobby I should say, of

100
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:14.759
<v Speaker 2>gaming when you get older.

101
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:16.079
<v Speaker 3>But I got no time for that I have.

102
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean it is fun though, like it was kind

103
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 2>of like an escape and I was kind of getting

104
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 2>into it. So anyways, as much as my energy has

105
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.959
<v Speaker 2>been dragging today because of running on little sleep, imagine

106
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.839
<v Speaker 2>what my energy levels would be like if I never

107
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:33.480
<v Speaker 2>went and saw my friends over at the Little of

108
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:37.160
<v Speaker 2>Men's Clinic. Because one of the things that one of

109
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:39.279
<v Speaker 2>the many side effects you can have if your testosterone

110
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.040
<v Speaker 2>levels are not where they need to be for someone

111
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:45.079
<v Speaker 2>your age is low energy wanting to just call it

112
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.600
<v Speaker 2>a day and go to bed after dinner at seven o'clock.

113
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:50.920
<v Speaker 2>That drive home from work when you realize.

114
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:51.839
<v Speaker 3>Man, why am I so tired?

115
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Or maybe you know you're just noticing that without really

116
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.800
<v Speaker 2>any change to what you're eating or your exercise, you're

117
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.360
<v Speaker 2>starting to look like you're putting on some weight. Maybe

118
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:05.319
<v Speaker 2>you hit the scale and it's not showing there. But man,

119
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:09.199
<v Speaker 2>you got some flab. The movies are appearing, the man boobs,

120
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.360
<v Speaker 2>folks like it happens. I'm telling you, if you're somebody

121
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.560
<v Speaker 2>that's noticing what I just laid out, and I know

122
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.800
<v Speaker 2>there's many of you out there, it's probably low testosterone

123
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:20.839
<v Speaker 2>because your muscle's going away because you don't have the

124
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.759
<v Speaker 2>right testosterone levels, it's turning into flab.

125
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:27.000
<v Speaker 3>And there's all kinds of other factors as well. So

126
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:28.639
<v Speaker 3>I felt like a real.

127
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Dummy because I had these exact things were happening with

128
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.360
<v Speaker 2>me for really a couple of years, maybe longer, and

129
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:36.879
<v Speaker 2>I just assumed this is what happens when you get old.

130
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:38.680
<v Speaker 3>But I'm thinking, okay, yeah.

131
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm older, I'm not twenty one anymore, but I'm also

132
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:45.199
<v Speaker 2>not an old man. So finally I thought, you know what,

133
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:47.839
<v Speaker 2>maybe I will take them up on their offer. Right

134
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:49.600
<v Speaker 2>because Little Men's Clinic, they want you to come and

135
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:51.920
<v Speaker 2>see them and just hear your story, Hear what you're

136
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:55.920
<v Speaker 2>going through, hear what you think potentially they could help

137
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:56.199
<v Speaker 2>you with.

138
00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:59.759
<v Speaker 3>And that's exactly what I did talk to doctor Wood.

139
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.720
<v Speaker 2>He explained to me that when it comes to low testosterone,

140
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:05.160
<v Speaker 2>it's not because you're you know, I mean, it's just

141
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:10.040
<v Speaker 2>a natural thing. Most men lose percentages of percentages of

142
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.680
<v Speaker 2>their testosterone when they get into their thirties. And you

143
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.800
<v Speaker 2>can go to the doctor and have them do blood work,

144
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.600
<v Speaker 2>all that kind of stuff, and your physician they're not

145
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.839
<v Speaker 2>going to see anything on the report that says you're

146
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:27.199
<v Speaker 2>in danger because your testosterone levels are at a certain spot.

147
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.879
<v Speaker 3>However, you are supposed to have your.

148
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.279
<v Speaker 2>Levels at a certain range depending upon your age, and

149
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.600
<v Speaker 2>that's where they checked me. And I remember my conversation

150
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:39.040
<v Speaker 2>with doctor Wood. You know, he looked at me and

151
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.279
<v Speaker 2>I kind of described sort of my situation, and he

152
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.920
<v Speaker 2>acted as if it might be somewhat of a surprise

153
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.519
<v Speaker 2>for my levels to be really low. But he said,

154
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:49.720
<v Speaker 2>even if they're not, we can still figure out something

155
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:52.959
<v Speaker 2>to maybe get you to get you squared away. But

156
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.959
<v Speaker 2>with my lifestyle and I guess my age, my health,

157
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:59.519
<v Speaker 2>he thought, maybe, just maybe my levels wouldn't be that low.

158
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.480
<v Speaker 2>And sure enough he was wrong, because my levels were

159
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:04.519
<v Speaker 2>in the range of somebody that was old enough to

160
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 2>not only be my father, maybe be my grandfather, and

161
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.360
<v Speaker 2>that wasn't something you want to hear. But it also

162
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.040
<v Speaker 2>gave me sort of an explanation as to why I

163
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.399
<v Speaker 2>was really putting in work in the gym, relocating weight

164
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.639
<v Speaker 2>and running and not eating like a slob as much.

165
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:24.160
<v Speaker 2>But I just wasn't getting results, and it was because

166
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:25.879
<v Speaker 2>my testosterin levels were not where they needed to be.

167
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:28.160
<v Speaker 2>So sure enough, I've now been on testosterone treatment for

168
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.040
<v Speaker 2>over a year now and it has changed my life.

169
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.360
<v Speaker 2>And I don't say that as an exaggeration, it's the truth.

170
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:36.079
<v Speaker 2>So they've helped me. Let him help you.

<v Speaker 2>to go see Brett Michaels. What a random giveaway. But

184
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:14.000
<v Speaker 2>if you listen to the beginning at the end of

185
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.360
<v Speaker 2>the first hour, I'm a I'm a I wouldn't I

186
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:18.120
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be. I'm not gonna lie even say like I'm

187
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:19.560
<v Speaker 2>a big Brett Michael's guy.

188
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:20.319
<v Speaker 3>I don't know a.

189
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Whole lot about him, but I did have that experience

190
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:26.839
<v Speaker 2>at the country music festival we had here years ago,

191
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.160
<v Speaker 2>Hometown Rising, and I thought he seemed like a really

192
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:34.679
<v Speaker 2>weird artist act to have on this music festival because

193
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:36.759
<v Speaker 2>he's not a country artist. But I now know why

194
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.039
<v Speaker 2>they brought him, because he brought the energy. He was

195
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:41.399
<v Speaker 2>covering kid rock, he was covering some of course, some

196
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.480
<v Speaker 2>of Poison songs. He covered, Uh, he did some sweet

197
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:45.279
<v Speaker 2>ome Alabama.

198
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:46.320
<v Speaker 3>He was into it.

199
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:48.559
<v Speaker 2>He's a performer, And I do I do appreciate the

200
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:50.159
<v Speaker 2>two people in the text line that texted in and

201
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:53.759
<v Speaker 2>said that they also remember like being One person said,

202
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:55.000
<v Speaker 2>hell yeah, I saw Brett Michaels.

203
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:55.480
<v Speaker 3>He was great.

204
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:57.399
<v Speaker 2>One person kind of wrote and said the same thing

205
00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:59.519
<v Speaker 2>I did, which is they remember thinking.

206
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:00.600
<v Speaker 3>This guy's kind of awesome.

207
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:04.480
<v Speaker 2>And you didn't go to Hometown Rising with Blake Shelton

208
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:07.039
<v Speaker 2>and Miranda Lambert and whoever else the big names were

209
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.679
<v Speaker 2>at the time. Brian, Yeah, Luke Bryan, That's who it was.

210
00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:12.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you didn't go because Brett Michaels was there,

211
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:14.120
<v Speaker 2>but you remembered he was there because he put on

212
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:16.240
<v Speaker 2>a show. So he's coming to French Lick on March first,

213
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:17.759
<v Speaker 2>and we're gonna give away a pair of tickets after

214
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:20.360
<v Speaker 2>we take our first break here in the four o'clock hour.

215
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:23.440
<v Speaker 2>But back to the Louisville game last night again, just

216
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:29.799
<v Speaker 2>to kind of summarize my my takeaway. There were some

217
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:33.440
<v Speaker 2>things that were concerning, and really we saw this team

218
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.159
<v Speaker 2>in a way we haven't seen them ever, and that's

219
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:43.600
<v Speaker 2>not ideal, but it happens. I'm hopeful that two things

220
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:47.000
<v Speaker 2>were the biggest factor in last night, one being that

221
00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:51.240
<v Speaker 2>you just have nights like that, and I think getting

222
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:54.120
<v Speaker 2>up getting off to an eleven and zh start also

223
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of made it even weird once there was a

224
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:59.080
<v Speaker 2>run put on. Like I think the mental component is

225
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:02.600
<v Speaker 2>always way more of a factor in sports than people realize.

226
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:05.000
<v Speaker 2>But I think when you're up eleven to nothing and

227
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:08.279
<v Speaker 2>then you.

228
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:10.039
<v Speaker 3>End up getting a little bit of a run put

229
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:10.360
<v Speaker 3>on you.

230
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:12.360
<v Speaker 2>And it wasn't really that they just made a couple

231
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:14.159
<v Speaker 2>of threes, and in fact, I think it was eight

232
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:18.360
<v Speaker 2>to eight to maybe sixteen or eight to eighteen at

233
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:20.159
<v Speaker 2>one of the first one of the one of the

234
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:21.679
<v Speaker 2>first time outs, not the first one, but maybe the

235
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:26.279
<v Speaker 2>second one. And it was the former Charlestown player that

236
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.639
<v Speaker 2>Pat Kelsey coached. What's the young man's name, because he

237
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:31.720
<v Speaker 2>ended up having a phenomenal game. I know he got

238
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:33.879
<v Speaker 2>to catch up with Pat Kelsey afterwards. Yeah, Ben Burnham,

239
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:36.279
<v Speaker 2>he get thirteen points. He made three threes and hit

240
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:38.320
<v Speaker 2>two at the beginning, get eight of his thirteen at

241
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:39.720
<v Speaker 2>the very beginning of the game. He scored the first

242
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.559
<v Speaker 2>eight points for his team. But that happened, meaning they

243
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:45.799
<v Speaker 2>responded after being down eleven. Nothing Virginia Tech did. And

244
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:49.000
<v Speaker 2>then I think Louisville to kind of, you know, punch

245
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:51.559
<v Speaker 2>back if you will. They tried to put on their

246
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:53.639
<v Speaker 2>own little run, but they didn't do it the way

247
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:55.480
<v Speaker 2>they typically do it right. They didn't do it with

248
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:59.320
<v Speaker 2>locking down and getting stops, making opponents pay for every

249
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:02.039
<v Speaker 2>little mistake. They did it by I think pressing like

250
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:04.919
<v Speaker 2>they tried to just you know, they took some bad shots,

251
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:08.919
<v Speaker 2>made some bad decisions, and I chalked that up to

252
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:14.799
<v Speaker 2>them just being you know, winded and instead of you know,

253
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:17.600
<v Speaker 2>they they probably felt Again, it's not like they were

254
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 2>out there thinking they could play a B minus type

255
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:23.879
<v Speaker 2>game and still win, because I think these guys do

256
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:24.559
<v Speaker 2>respect the opponent.

257
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:26.120
<v Speaker 3>I think they know they can give you by anybody.

258
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:27.960
<v Speaker 2>I think if they didn't know that, they certainly are

259
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna know now after last night. But I just think,

260
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:33.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, they they probably felt like, all right, they'll

261
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:36.360
<v Speaker 2>punch back and then we'll we'll hammer them and bury them.

262
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Then maybe they make a little bit of a run

263
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:40.200
<v Speaker 2>to think that they have some hope in the second

264
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:42.519
<v Speaker 2>half and then we'll come back with another haymaker and

265
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:44.360
<v Speaker 2>we'll end this thing and get out of here. And

266
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.840
<v Speaker 2>they're justified in thinking that they would be able to

267
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:49.720
<v Speaker 2>do that because that's what they've done all year in

268
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:54.840
<v Speaker 2>those exact same situations. And again they they maybe they

269
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:56.720
<v Speaker 2>were filmed themselves after getting off to an eleven and

270
00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:58.639
<v Speaker 2>zero star because they look phenomenal to start the game.

271
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:02.559
<v Speaker 2>But I think they just tried to do that, but

272
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:06.879
<v Speaker 2>they went about it differently because they were fatigued. So

273
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:11.720
<v Speaker 2>I think, again, I'm hopeful that last night, which again

274
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:13.799
<v Speaker 2>was still a win, and it was still a good

275
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:18.759
<v Speaker 2>opportunity for you to get some experience in late I mean,

276
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:20.840
<v Speaker 2>the last time Louisville was in a situation like that

277
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.200
<v Speaker 2>was win. I mean even the Georgia Tech game was different.

278
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean that was a difference. I mean they lost also,

279
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:30.559
<v Speaker 2>but you were I mean it was neck and neck

280
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:32.919
<v Speaker 2>towards the very end of the game, and then you

281
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:34.679
<v Speaker 2>were able to give yourself a little bit of a

282
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:38.639
<v Speaker 2>cushion with a couple of Terrence Edwards threes, the big

283
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.840
<v Speaker 2>James Scott bucket late and then you kind of just

284
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:44.120
<v Speaker 2>had to hold on, get some stops defensively and you know,

285
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:49.240
<v Speaker 2>not screw up. And you did that and Virginia Tech

286
00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:50.799
<v Speaker 2>screwed up and we thanked them for that.

287
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:54.799
<v Speaker 3>So again it was still a win.

288
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.320
<v Speaker 2>I think there's some value in being in that situation

289
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.159
<v Speaker 2>and kind of seeing what you're made of. And look,

290
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.000
<v Speaker 2>it's you know, even if they would have lost, they

291
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:05.759
<v Speaker 2>would have been able to learn and they but but

292
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:09.000
<v Speaker 2>they won, and we're able to avoid a real resume

293
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.240
<v Speaker 2>issue type loss, and yet they can still say that

294
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:14.759
<v Speaker 2>they you know, they still were able to learn from it.

295
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:17.200
<v Speaker 2>At least the should learn from it. So they've had

296
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:19.000
<v Speaker 2>a bug. I don't know what it is, if it's

297
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:20.799
<v Speaker 2>flu or whatever it is. But when I hear about

298
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:23.559
<v Speaker 2>players and even Pat Kelsey needed to take an IV

299
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:26.799
<v Speaker 2>last week because of practice, because of the illnesses, the

300
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:29.919
<v Speaker 2>illness that they have going around, I mean, I think

301
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:32.159
<v Speaker 2>that tells you that that they're they're going through it.

302
00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:34.960
<v Speaker 2>And I think when you watch them play, you can

303
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:38.399
<v Speaker 2>tell like they've been fighting this illness. It's probably not

304
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:40.840
<v Speaker 2>hit everybody at the same time, but it's probably lingered.

305
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:44.559
<v Speaker 2>And hopefully they get they get well, get rested, get hydrated,

306
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:48.639
<v Speaker 2>and and and can be healthy once they get once

307
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:51.639
<v Speaker 2>they get to you know, games where you play a

308
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:54.240
<v Speaker 2>team other than Virginia Tech, with that kind of performance,

309
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.440
<v Speaker 2>it'll it'll it'll cost you. I mean, heck, it'll it'll

310
00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:58.200
<v Speaker 2>end your season if it if it's in the tournament.

311
00:13:58.879 --> 00:13:59.399
<v Speaker 3>We know that.

312
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.960
<v Speaker 2>And I was reminded last night Javon Hadley, he did

313
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.559
<v Speaker 2>an interview after the game, and I mean, these guys,

314
00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:10.320
<v Speaker 2>they have excuses. They have a whole year they've been

315
00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:15.039
<v Speaker 2>shorthanded with injuries, and yet they don't they don't accept

316
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:17.879
<v Speaker 2>any excuse, they don't feel sorry for themselves. They never

317
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:21.159
<v Speaker 2>play victim because because Hadley, I mean, somebody brought up

318
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:23.279
<v Speaker 2>the illness to him and he just before they could

319
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:25.240
<v Speaker 2>finish the question or finish their statement, like, no, that's

320
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:25.440
<v Speaker 2>not it.

321
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:26.799
<v Speaker 3>We got to be ready, we got to be better.

322
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:30.720
<v Speaker 2>And that gives me assurance that these guys will learn

323
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:33.720
<v Speaker 2>from what happened last night. But again, the one thing

324
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:34.960
<v Speaker 2>that is in the back of my mind that I'm

325
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:36.840
<v Speaker 2>trying to get rid of or at least trying not

326
00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:38.320
<v Speaker 2>to dwell on it. There's nothing you can do about it.

327
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:40.879
<v Speaker 2>Only time will tell if it really is is a thing.

328
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:45.159
<v Speaker 2>But Virginia Tech, they had you on the ropes and

329
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:49.039
<v Speaker 2>they probably should have won. We're honest, and anybody you play,

330
00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:52.399
<v Speaker 2>and I mean anybody you play in the tournament is

331
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:55.840
<v Speaker 2>going to be a lot better than them. So that's

332
00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:58.840
<v Speaker 2>just something that that's that's not really like an opinion.

333
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:02.039
<v Speaker 2>That's not me trying to, you know, warn you that

334
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:04.360
<v Speaker 2>we should just prepare for an early exit in the tournament.

335
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:06.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm just like, I'm stating something that is at least

336
00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:10.120
<v Speaker 2>something I'm I'm keeping in mind throughout here. All right,

337
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:14.919
<v Speaker 2>quick break, first person, first person to call five oh two,

338
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:18.000
<v Speaker 2>five seven, one seventy nine hundred. During the break here

339
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.919
<v Speaker 2>we'll get tickets to see Bret Michaels French Lick March

340
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.279
<v Speaker 2>first right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

341
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Now back to coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

342
00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

343
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I can see myself like in the beer line. Oh yeah,

344
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:40.039
<v Speaker 2>at the concert, and this the beginning of that song

345
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:41.200
<v Speaker 2>that you just played.

346
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:42.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, some unskinny pop.

347
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:46.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking like, oh, man, hope this line moves quick

348
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:47.320
<v Speaker 2>because I got to get back.

349
00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:49.480
<v Speaker 4>Yes, and I need that beer.

350
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:51.480
<v Speaker 3>But man, my song's on here.

351
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:52.080
<v Speaker 4>It is.

352
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:04.240
<v Speaker 2>I kind of wish I lived in that era. Oh dude,

353
00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:07.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what was this mid eighties? Yeah, had to

354
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.799
<v Speaker 2>be well maybe not, maybe it actually early eighties.

355
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:12.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't like that.

356
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:14.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm thinking ninety maybe nineties.

357
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:16.600
<v Speaker 4>This song was probably.

358
00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:18.240
<v Speaker 3>The song come out what's the name? What's the title

359
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:18.639
<v Speaker 3>of this song?

360
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:19.720
<v Speaker 4>Unskinny Bob.

361
00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm thinking just because I feel like it

362
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.440
<v Speaker 2>was long before my time. But maybe I'm wrong. This

363
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:29.120
<v Speaker 2>song came out in nineteen ninety so.

364
00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:30.879
<v Speaker 4>Wow, Yeah, this is kind of like one of their

365
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:31.600
<v Speaker 4>later things.

366
00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I was alive, but I was two, and man, he

367
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:36.679
<v Speaker 2>looks different now than he did back in nineteen eighties,

368
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:39.120
<v Speaker 2>but he's still rocking. So we just gave away a

369
00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:42.200
<v Speaker 2>couple of tickets to go see Brett Michaels, who's going

370
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:42.919
<v Speaker 2>to be at French Lick.

371
00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:45.240
<v Speaker 3>And congratulations to Jerry.

372
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:47.720
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was our regular caller Jerry, because you know,

373
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:49.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know a lot of Jerry's, but it was

374
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:51.519
<v Speaker 2>a different Jerry who got in and won the tickets.

375
00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:54.399
<v Speaker 2>So congratulations to you, Jerry. And we love giving away

376
00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:56.919
<v Speaker 2>free stuff here on the show, and anytime they have

377
00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:59.840
<v Speaker 2>something available, we will give it out.

378
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:00.879
<v Speaker 3>All right.

379
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:06.039
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky in Action tonight taking on Oklahoma, and they got

380
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:07.480
<v Speaker 2>some promising news.

381
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:08.599
<v Speaker 3>I guess it's good news.

382
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:13.880
<v Speaker 2>But both Lamont Butler and Jackson Robinson in the injury

383
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:16.720
<v Speaker 2>report last night. I guess that gets submitted to the SEC.

384
00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:22.079
<v Speaker 2>From the programs, they were listed as probable, which is

385
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:24.440
<v Speaker 2>really encouraging. I don't know if that means they're gonna play.

386
00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:26.440
<v Speaker 2>I could be wrong. I've been a little checked out today.

387
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure if there's been a. I'm not sure

388
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:31.720
<v Speaker 2>if there's been like an update or a confirmation as

389
00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:32.880
<v Speaker 2>far as if they're going to play or not. I

390
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:36.359
<v Speaker 2>probably should, you know, should look at that. But just

391
00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:40.119
<v Speaker 2>knowing that these guys have been moved to probable has

392
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:45.880
<v Speaker 2>to make Kentucky fans feel better about not only you know,

393
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:50.000
<v Speaker 2>tonight if they play, but just moving forward because the

394
00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:55.200
<v Speaker 2>in and out and healthy then I'm sorry, unhealthy, can't play,

395
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:59.160
<v Speaker 2>then cleared to go, then re injuring it and not

396
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:01.519
<v Speaker 2>knowing did you really have a bigger Are you more

397
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:05.400
<v Speaker 2>injured now than you were before? Like you know, we

398
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:07.240
<v Speaker 2>actually had a caller last week call in and ask

399
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:09.279
<v Speaker 2>about sort of just the vagueness that you get from

400
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:12.920
<v Speaker 2>coaches about injuries, and I think it's it's it's both things. One,

401
00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:16.319
<v Speaker 2>they really aren't doctors, but also they're they're going to

402
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:17.880
<v Speaker 2>keep it as close to the best as they can.

403
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:22.039
<v Speaker 2>So currently Oklahoma two and a half point dogs tonight

404
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:25.640
<v Speaker 2>at home. And Oklahoma's a weird team, a really weird

405
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:28.680
<v Speaker 2>team because you know, I watched him play when they

406
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:30.519
<v Speaker 2>beat Louisville, and I watched him play. I mean they

407
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:32.400
<v Speaker 2>won by the way they won the Battle of Atlantis.

408
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:34.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's easy to forget now because you know,

409
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:36.480
<v Speaker 2>that was a long time ago and they really have

410
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:40.319
<v Speaker 2>had a rough stretch since they left the Bahamas with

411
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:44.519
<v Speaker 2>that championship. But they've got a freshman who's really, really,

412
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:47.799
<v Speaker 2>really special. He was special against Louisville, and he's one

413
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:50.839
<v Speaker 2>of those guys that you know, it's not easy to

414
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:52.759
<v Speaker 2>find these kind of guys, but he is somebody that

415
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:56.640
<v Speaker 2>was a known freshman like he was. He was a

416
00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:58.720
<v Speaker 2>four star recruit, so it wasn't like he's somebody that

417
00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:00.960
<v Speaker 2>you never heard of, but nobody thought he was going

418
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:04.240
<v Speaker 2>to be this good, and he's been. You know, he's

419
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.200
<v Speaker 2>been sensational for him. His name is last name's Fears.

420
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Why can't I think of his first name, Jeremiah, Yeah,

421
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:12.839
<v Speaker 2>Jeremiah Fears. I mean, as a freshman, he's a six

422
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:15.519
<v Speaker 2>to four guard. By the way, he's averaging sixteen points,

423
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:19.039
<v Speaker 2>four rebounds, four assists, and in their most recent game,

424
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:24.519
<v Speaker 2>he had twenty seven points, ten assists, five rebounds, and

425
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:25.200
<v Speaker 2>they won.

426
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:25.920
<v Speaker 3>They needed to win.

427
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:28.960
<v Speaker 2>They got to win against Mississippi State, which I believe

428
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:30.799
<v Speaker 2>I could be wrong. I feel like every team in

429
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:32.599
<v Speaker 2>the SEC outside of like two is either in the

430
00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:35.319
<v Speaker 2>tournament or on the bubble. They're currently four and ten

431
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:38.799
<v Speaker 2>seventeen and ten overall, so I have a hard time

432
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:42.680
<v Speaker 2>thinking that they're in the tournament race. But I could

433
00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:44.400
<v Speaker 2>be wrong. I could be wrong.

434
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:46.200
<v Speaker 3>So other than.

435
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:50.759
<v Speaker 2>Fears, they're a little light. They've got Kobe Elvis, who

436
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:53.279
<v Speaker 2>is a transfer from Dayton. Actually was a former teammate

437
00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:56.000
<v Speaker 2>of Kobe Brea when they were at Dayton together. But

438
00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:59.400
<v Speaker 2>he's averaging about eight points three rebounds. And you know,

439
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:02.319
<v Speaker 2>it's rare for a team to be led so much

440
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:04.960
<v Speaker 2>by a.

441
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.079
<v Speaker 3>True freshman, but that's that's that's where we are.

442
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:08.079
<v Speaker 2>And usually if you've got a team that's just you know,

443
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:10.839
<v Speaker 2>so dependent upon one guy that's a freshman, we're talking about,

444
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:13.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, a Cooper flag or something like that. And uh,

445
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Fears is probably gonna be I mean, I think he's

446
00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:16.680
<v Speaker 2>an NBA guy.

447
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:18.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if he's gonna be a lottery pick.

448
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:21.519
<v Speaker 2>And honestly, if you if you don't know where you're

449
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:23.319
<v Speaker 2>gonna go in the draft, maybe you feel like you

450
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:27.359
<v Speaker 2>could be anywhere between, like pick twenty or late second round.

451
00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:28.920
<v Speaker 3>You should stay in college.

452
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Because you can make a lot of money and it

453
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:31.960
<v Speaker 2>could be guaranteed you don't have to worry about risking

454
00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:34.359
<v Speaker 2>your draft status. There's always a risk that maybe you

455
00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:36.000
<v Speaker 2>fall off and don't get a chance to go pro.

456
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:38.640
<v Speaker 2>But you also could go pro and not get drafted.

457
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:40.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's that's a real possibility too. So, uh,

458
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:44.440
<v Speaker 2>he's he's a really really good player. And I don't

459
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:49.640
<v Speaker 2>I believe their coach Porter Moser is a good coach,

460
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Like I think he I think he you know, I

461
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:53.759
<v Speaker 2>watched his teams execute, like I think he's he's he

462
00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:56.160
<v Speaker 2>knows ball, if you know what I mean. But he's

463
00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:00.640
<v Speaker 2>kind of a tough guy to figure out because he Oklahoma. Like,

464
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:02.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't feel like he's gotten off to a very

465
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:04.279
<v Speaker 2>good start there. I say that, And maybe I'm wrong.

466
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:06.359
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they had a run that I don't remember. But

467
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Porter Moser's been there for this is I believe his

468
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:14.200
<v Speaker 2>This is his fourth year and he went nineteen and

469
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:18.519
<v Speaker 2>sixteen in his first year, fifteen and seventeen in his

470
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.200
<v Speaker 2>second season, and then twenty and twelve last year, and

471
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:25.519
<v Speaker 2>they did not make the tournament and then this year.

472
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:27.519
<v Speaker 3>They looked like they were about to break through again.

473
00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:31.240
<v Speaker 2>He had wins to start the season against Arizona, Louisville,

474
00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:32.759
<v Speaker 2>before you knew Louisville was actually going to be a

475
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:36.039
<v Speaker 2>good win for him. They beat Michigan on a neutral court,

476
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:39.119
<v Speaker 2>and then they got to SEC play and life got hard.

477
00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Life got really hard for him. That's why they are

478
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:45.559
<v Speaker 2>sitting with a four and ten record and not looking

479
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:48.880
<v Speaker 2>like a tournament team. And what also makes Porter Moser

480
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:53.119
<v Speaker 2>tough to figure out is that at Loyola, like he

481
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:57.000
<v Speaker 2>broke through and went to a final four, and you

482
00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:00.960
<v Speaker 2>know that's impressive. I mean, he did well then, but

483
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:02.960
<v Speaker 2>he also got off to like a really tough start

484
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:04.279
<v Speaker 2>and before he got the job.

485
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:05.039
<v Speaker 3>That's what's wild.

486
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:07.160
<v Speaker 2>He got the job at Loyola in twenty twelve, and

487
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:10.200
<v Speaker 2>prior to that, I mean, he had a losing record

488
00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:14.400
<v Speaker 2>overall in two stints at Arkansas Little Rock in Illinois State.

489
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:15.559
<v Speaker 3>Like, that's the caliber that he was.

490
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:19.119
<v Speaker 2>He gets to Loyola and there he's seven and twenty

491
00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:21.240
<v Speaker 2>three in his first year, fifteen and sixteen in his

492
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:27.000
<v Speaker 2>second year, ten and twenty two in his third year.

493
00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:32.240
<v Speaker 2>And then of course in twenty fifteen they weren't gonna

494
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:34.839
<v Speaker 2>make the tournament. They somehow won their league. Wasn't it

495
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:36.359
<v Speaker 2>fifteen the year they went to Yeah, they made it

496
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:38.599
<v Speaker 2>all the way to the Uh actually no, I'm sorry.

497
00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:43.640
<v Speaker 2>Twenty twenty fifteen. They were I guess an NT team

498
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:47.400
<v Speaker 2>or maybe like a CBI team, but it was uh yeah,

499
00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:47.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean.

500
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:49.000
<v Speaker 3>Look this guy, he broke through.

501
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:52.079
<v Speaker 2>For some reason, I was thinking that that Loyola Chicago's

502
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:55.039
<v Speaker 2>Final four was like more recent than it was.

503
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:55.960
<v Speaker 3>It was a long time ago.

504
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so Porter Moser because his name acts came up

505
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:02.720
<v Speaker 2>because he got off to and he still is in

506
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:03.640
<v Speaker 2>a tough.

507
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:04.359
<v Speaker 3>Spot at Oklahoma.

508
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:06.720
<v Speaker 2>When Louis's job was open, his name would come up,

509
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:10.039
<v Speaker 2>and I hadn't really know, Like, I feel like those guys,

510
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:11.960
<v Speaker 2>if it was ever gonna work out and they were

511
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:14.880
<v Speaker 2>gonna be guys that could really consistently be towards the

512
00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:19.000
<v Speaker 2>top tier of college basketball, like it would like, for example,

513
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:21.599
<v Speaker 2>Mit cronan. Mccrone's a fine coach, but I feel like

514
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:23.240
<v Speaker 2>mc cronin was gonna break through and be like, you

515
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:25.200
<v Speaker 2>can do a lot worse than mc cronan, but if

516
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:29.039
<v Speaker 2>you want a guy that is going to like consistently

517
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:32.440
<v Speaker 2>like for example, young and hungry guys that maybe haven't

518
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:36.160
<v Speaker 2>coached as long but are really on a good path,

519
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:38.279
<v Speaker 2>like a Pat Kelsey, like a Mark Pope, like a

520
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Natoates when he was a buffalo, like a Ben McCollum

521
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:44.960
<v Speaker 2>who was at Southwest Missouri State. Now he's gonna do

522
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:47.359
<v Speaker 2>one year at Drake and probably get a way better job.

523
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Like that's a better higher to make than a guy

524
00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:53.119
<v Speaker 2>who's done it for twenty plus years, and you could

525
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:53.839
<v Speaker 2>do a lot worse.

526
00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:55.480
<v Speaker 3>But man, like what's your ceiling?

527
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.119
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, Loyola before he made a final four, he

528
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:02.960
<v Speaker 2>never made the tournament there. In fact, this is wild

529
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:08.079
<v Speaker 2>porter Moser's first ever NCAA tournament appearance was when he

530
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:10.920
<v Speaker 2>went to the final four, followed up the next season

531
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:15.759
<v Speaker 2>Nit next season, no tournament, But he wouldn't have made

532
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:18.319
<v Speaker 2>the tournament because they were twenty one and eleven in

533
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.680
<v Speaker 2>the Missouri Valley. And then in twenty twenty one, another

534
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:25.759
<v Speaker 2>great season, they end up upsetting Illinois in the second

535
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:28.480
<v Speaker 2>round and make the Sweet sixteen. He parlays that into

536
00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:32.839
<v Speaker 2>the Oklahoma job. So here he is at Oklahoma four

537
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:36.680
<v Speaker 2>years in, he has a thirty four percent winning percentage

538
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:40.359
<v Speaker 2>in the SEC in the Big twelve combined, and is

539
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:42.279
<v Speaker 2>not going to make the tournament and like probably will

540
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:48.519
<v Speaker 2>get fired and what will this tell you? And he guesses, No, guesses,

541
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:50.880
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you. And I wasn't talking to Austin Happy.

542
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:52.920
<v Speaker 2>I was just I'm just throwing it out there because

543
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:56.440
<v Speaker 2>my year's per This happens all the time, and I

544
00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:59.400
<v Speaker 2>hope it stops happening because it's just it's.

545
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:02.480
<v Speaker 3>Proved and to be a foolish thing. In my opinion,

546
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:05.400
<v Speaker 3>dudes who.

547
00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Make a fluky tournament run doesn't mean they're bad coaches,

548
00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:12.759
<v Speaker 2>but like that shouldn't be the reason you hire somebody.

549
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Porter Moser from two thousand to twenty and twenty one,

550
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:22.319
<v Speaker 2>that is twenty years. Yeah, two thousand and twenty twenty

551
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:22.640
<v Speaker 2>one was.

552
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:23.640
<v Speaker 3>His first year as head coach.

553
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Not only did he never make the tournament other than twice,

554
00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:33.119
<v Speaker 2>he had losing records in the vast majority of the

555
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:38.079
<v Speaker 2>seasons he coached. But he made the tournament twice in

556
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:43.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty years, and he won some games, and credit to him,

557
00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:44.640
<v Speaker 2>Like that's something that does matter.

558
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:45.319
<v Speaker 3>It has value.

559
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:48.039
<v Speaker 2>But if in twenty years you get two appearances in

560
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:51.200
<v Speaker 2>the Big Dance and you win two games once and

561
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:54.160
<v Speaker 2>then you have the miraculous run that nobody even knows

562
00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:56.119
<v Speaker 2>you did it because it went all to Sister Jeans.

563
00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:59.799
<v Speaker 2>She got all the credit for it. I mean, like

564
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:03.119
<v Speaker 2>that can't be why Oklahoma hires.

565
00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:09.359
<v Speaker 3>Him, Like Frank was his name? No, no, Frank stan Heath.

566
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:12.359
<v Speaker 2>Stan Heath, to me is the best example ever of

567
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:14.759
<v Speaker 2>a guy that might not have ever really been a

568
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:17.759
<v Speaker 2>good coach. In fact, he proved throughout a long career

569
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:20.279
<v Speaker 2>he was not a very good coach, but he got

570
00:26:20.319 --> 00:26:23.200
<v Speaker 2>a ticket to the dance, and he kept his dance

571
00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:27.000
<v Speaker 2>and shoes on long enough to manipulate the college basketball

572
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:32.960
<v Speaker 2>industry to where he created generational maybe not generational wealth,

573
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.160
<v Speaker 2>but he made life changing money. Let me give you

574
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:40.440
<v Speaker 2>stan Heath's resume here. He's the best example. He had

575
00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:43.319
<v Speaker 2>one season at Kent State, went thirty and six and

576
00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:45.839
<v Speaker 2>made the Elite Eight. That's a hell of a star.

577
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.920
<v Speaker 3>But it's one season. What's that happened? After? What happens?

578
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:50.799
<v Speaker 2>After one season with stan Heath at Kent State? He

579
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:57.359
<v Speaker 2>gets the Arkansas job. He's there for five seasons, never

580
00:26:57.359 --> 00:27:00.240
<v Speaker 2>wins a tournament game, only makes the tournament one to

581
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:04.359
<v Speaker 2>lose in the round of sixty four, thirty eight percent

582
00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:07.480
<v Speaker 2>win percentage in SEC play. But you know what he

583
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:11.079
<v Speaker 2>had won Elite eight run to go get five years

584
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:15.079
<v Speaker 2>of an SEC salary, probably quadrupled, maybe even more than

585
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:18.400
<v Speaker 2>that his salary at Kent State at Arkansas, all off

586
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:22.480
<v Speaker 2>of one tournament run and in five years again he

587
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:26.480
<v Speaker 2>was a loser. So doesn't work out at Arkansas. And

588
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:29.480
<v Speaker 2>there was nothing at Arkansas that made him an attractive

589
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:31.640
<v Speaker 2>higher elsewhere. But you know what, man, he's got an

590
00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:33.640
<v Speaker 2>lead eight on that resume and he did it at

591
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Kent State. So South Florida, the Bulls, they pick up

592
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:40.440
<v Speaker 2>the phone, Big East at the time they hire Frank,

593
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:45.880
<v Speaker 2>I keep saying, Frank stan Heath. I think I'm thinking

594
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:48.519
<v Speaker 2>of what was this guy who used to coach Missouri

595
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.559
<v Speaker 2>in Arkansas or maybe Missouri Frank Heith, Frank, That's what

596
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:55.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking of. Sorry, but stan Heath. He gets a

597
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:56.880
<v Speaker 2>job in South Florida in two thousand and seven. He's

598
00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:03.440
<v Speaker 2>there for eight years, wins twenty nine percent of his

599
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:08.839
<v Speaker 2>games in the Big East, ninety seven and one point

600
00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:12.640
<v Speaker 2>thirty overall at South Florida, makes the tournament one time,

601
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:15.880
<v Speaker 2>did win a game, but it was a playing game,

602
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:22.400
<v Speaker 2>so they fire him. And then in two thousand and

603
00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:28.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty one he gets another job. Somehow, this guy who

604
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:31.400
<v Speaker 2>only has. I mean again, it'd be one thing if

605
00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:33.759
<v Speaker 2>like he's young and he's up and coming and man,

606
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:36.160
<v Speaker 2>he's really got a good this guy's about to break through. No,

607
00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:40.200
<v Speaker 2>this guy has coached for I mean, this guy got

608
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:43.599
<v Speaker 2>five years and eight years at two different schools and.

609
00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:46.160
<v Speaker 3>Told you who he was as a coach. A loser.

610
00:28:46.519 --> 00:28:48.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying he's a loser as a person, but

611
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:53.119
<v Speaker 2>quite literally, he's a loser as a coach in Eastern Michigan. Like,

612
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:57.200
<v Speaker 2>I know, they're the MAC, but they hired him and

613
00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:00.759
<v Speaker 2>he's now there in his fourth year. And you know

614
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:03.960
<v Speaker 2>what his record is there, forty four and seventy five.

615
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:07.079
<v Speaker 2>He's won thirty seven percent of his games at Eastern Michigan.

616
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:11.599
<v Speaker 2>And there was no reason to hire him, none but

617
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:12.279
<v Speaker 2>Eastern Michigan.

618
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:13.079
<v Speaker 3>You know what they probably did.

619
00:29:13.160 --> 00:29:15.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know what, there's nobody else on this list

620
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:18.039
<v Speaker 2>of candidates that applied that's been to the Elite eight.

621
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:24.519
<v Speaker 2>This guy has parlayed one season at Kent State that

622
00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:28.720
<v Speaker 2>resulted in a phenomenal run to the Elite Eight. But

623
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:33.480
<v Speaker 2>that was now twenty four years ago, and ever since

624
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:35.759
<v Speaker 2>then he has shown you he is not a good

625
00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:39.400
<v Speaker 2>basketball coach. But he's maintained a job making a lot

626
00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:43.799
<v Speaker 2>of money. He was making millions at Arkansas, made at

627
00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:47.359
<v Speaker 2>least a million at South Florida, not making a million,

628
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:49.559
<v Speaker 2>I would imagine at Eastern Michigan. But he's still getting

629
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:54.559
<v Speaker 2>probably a big time salary. This guy will coach over

630
00:29:55.079 --> 00:30:01.960
<v Speaker 2>five hundred games and have won forty four percent of them,

631
00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:06.720
<v Speaker 2>and yet he's still getting a pay check. You know

632
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:09.559
<v Speaker 2>what that is. That's that's the NCAA tournament. It makes

633
00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:12.720
<v Speaker 2>us really really stupid, and I wouldn't have it any

634
00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:13.119
<v Speaker 2>other way.

635
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:15.720
<v Speaker 3>It's unique.

636
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:17.720
<v Speaker 2>No other sport. I mean, every sport it's about what

637
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:20.119
<v Speaker 2>you do when it matters. But man, the Big Dance,

638
00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:22.880
<v Speaker 2>it's just a different level of like it's all for

639
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:27.200
<v Speaker 2>nothing if you don't capitalize in the tournament, and like

640
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:29.880
<v Speaker 2>if you really give it some deep thought, like you'll realize, yeah,

641
00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:31.480
<v Speaker 2>we got upset, but man, we know we had a

642
00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:33.880
<v Speaker 2>good team. But like you can't really you don't. You

643
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:36.480
<v Speaker 2>don't have the ability to celebrate it as much. Like

644
00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:40.319
<v Speaker 2>you can win your division in the NFL and fall

645
00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:43.279
<v Speaker 2>short in the tournament or in the in the playoffs,

646
00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:45.240
<v Speaker 2>and you still can claim, like we want our division

647
00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:49.319
<v Speaker 2>if you win your conference, and you know, winning a

648
00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:53.720
<v Speaker 2>big winning a winning a Big East or a SEC

649
00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:57.119
<v Speaker 2>this year, it means you know, the Big East. I

650
00:30:57.119 --> 00:30:58.759
<v Speaker 2>guess what I meant back in the day, like Big

651
00:30:58.759 --> 00:31:01.200
<v Speaker 2>East back in the day, or the ACC even whenever

652
00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:02.799
<v Speaker 2>it used to be good, because it did used to

653
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:05.599
<v Speaker 2>be good by the way.

654
00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:06.279
<v Speaker 3>That had a real value.

655
00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:08.599
<v Speaker 2>But if you end up winning those leagues when they're good,

656
00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:10.759
<v Speaker 2>you know what that means, You get a really good seed.

657
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:14.160
<v Speaker 2>And if you somehow have a really good seed like

658
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky who had a phenomenal season when they lost to

659
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:21.039
<v Speaker 2>Saint Peter's not as good but still a really good

660
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:24.279
<v Speaker 2>season last year when they lost to Oakland, like you

661
00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:27.559
<v Speaker 2>just it feels weird saying you had a good year

662
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:30.599
<v Speaker 2>when you actually did until the end. So again, I

663
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:33.160
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't have it any other way. But when it comes

664
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:35.960
<v Speaker 2>to like you know, those who make big important decisions

665
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:39.160
<v Speaker 2>as far as hiring coaches, handing the keys to your

666
00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:43.920
<v Speaker 2>program to these guys, you got to realize one or

667
00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:48.720
<v Speaker 2>maybe even two tournament runs, if they're the outlier, you

668
00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:53.039
<v Speaker 2>probably shouldn't hire that guy. So Porter Moser will probably

669
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:55.559
<v Speaker 2>get be by Kentucky tonight, probably get fired at the

670
00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:58.839
<v Speaker 2>end of the season and he'll still have a Final four,

671
00:31:58.839 --> 00:32:01.480
<v Speaker 2>which again I'm not saying that doesn't matter, like it

672
00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:05.160
<v Speaker 2>doesn't count, but that can't be in a twenty year

673
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:07.880
<v Speaker 2>run as a coach. You can't have one season where

674
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:10.519
<v Speaker 2>you did something special and that get you a way

675
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:13.400
<v Speaker 2>better job than the one you have where you'd been

676
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:17.240
<v Speaker 2>there for a long time and in way more seasons.

677
00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:19.400
<v Speaker 3>Were you bad than you were actually good.

678
00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:24.920
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even intend on putting my man Stan Heath

679
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:27.000
<v Speaker 2>and a body bag this segment, but we kind of

680
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:29.039
<v Speaker 2>just ended up there. It's kind of naturally happened. I mean,

681
00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:32.559
<v Speaker 2>toe tag, body bag. Sorry stan Heath, but credit to

682
00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:36.640
<v Speaker 2>you if you fleeced the game. Good stuff, right, stick

683
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:38.640
<v Speaker 2>around Coffee and Company. Feel about Thornons ready on Sports

684
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Talks seven.

685
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Ninety Now back to Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's

686
00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:49.519
<v Speaker 1>on Sports Talk seven nine day.

687
00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:55.720
<v Speaker 2>All right, So, the leaders from the Southeastern Conference and

688
00:32:55.759 --> 00:33:00.319
<v Speaker 2>the Big Ten are meeting this week in I think

689
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:05.240
<v Speaker 2>New Orleans and they're discussing the issues they have with

690
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:08.119
<v Speaker 2>the college football playoff format and what.

691
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:08.920
<v Speaker 3>They're going to propose.

692
00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:13.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't think is I don't think is wrong, Like

693
00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:17.079
<v Speaker 2>I know, these two conferences have all the power, they

694
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:20.039
<v Speaker 2>really flex their muscles, and it seems as if they're

695
00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:22.039
<v Speaker 2>going to get favoritism and and.

696
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:24.160
<v Speaker 3>Somewhat if it's true.

697
00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:28.759
<v Speaker 2>But what I get annoyed by is the just the

698
00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:32.640
<v Speaker 2>noise about it, Like it really does prove out more

699
00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:35.920
<v Speaker 2>often than not that these two leagues are the best

700
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:38.799
<v Speaker 2>leagues in the country and it's not close, but just

701
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:43.240
<v Speaker 2>the narrative about there, you know, there being a billion

702
00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:45.720
<v Speaker 2>miles between them and everybody else. That is the case

703
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:49.759
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to money. That's the truth. But the

704
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:54.920
<v Speaker 2>SEC this year really did not deliver. I mean, they

705
00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:57.720
<v Speaker 2>they were and they didn't really learn from it. They're

706
00:33:57.720 --> 00:33:59.880
<v Speaker 2>still arrogant and they're always going to be. And it's

707
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:02.200
<v Speaker 2>bill is and will always be. I believe the best

708
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:06.519
<v Speaker 2>league in the SEC in college football, just because top

709
00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:12.159
<v Speaker 2>to bottom, it just is. But you know, to claim

710
00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:13.880
<v Speaker 2>that you are on a different planet and you're basically

711
00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:17.679
<v Speaker 2>the NFL light or the NFL you know, minor league,

712
00:34:18.360 --> 00:34:21.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean that that's just that's hard to say whenever

713
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:24.239
<v Speaker 2>you don't really have like the dominance to back that up,

714
00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:25.400
<v Speaker 2>and they didn't have that this year.

715
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:28.320
<v Speaker 3>So anyways, these two leagues will.

716
00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Probably continue to flex their muscles, and I really don't

717
00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:32.159
<v Speaker 2>have any issue with it. But what they what they're

718
00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:34.199
<v Speaker 2>fighting for now I think is the right thing for

719
00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:35.599
<v Speaker 2>the committee to do. Now, will they do it, I

720
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:39.079
<v Speaker 2>don't know, But what they want is to alter the

721
00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:42.679
<v Speaker 2>seeding to align, you know, directly with the rankings that

722
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:45.679
<v Speaker 2>the Committee gives us, right, eliminating the current rule that

723
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:47.960
<v Speaker 2>gives first round byes to the top seeds to the

724
00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:51.719
<v Speaker 2>highest rank conference champions. We got a real drunk top

725
00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:53.800
<v Speaker 2>four seed this year because of the way it played out.

726
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:56.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, one of them was Arizona State and who

727
00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:00.320
<v Speaker 2>was the other? Was it Boise Did Boise host Penn

728
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:02.079
<v Speaker 2>State and get killed? I think that's what happened, right,

729
00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:05.199
<v Speaker 2>They didn't because it posts them. They didn't because it

730
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:07.920
<v Speaker 2>sounds like, I mean, I swear to you, it sounds

731
00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:11.880
<v Speaker 2>like there's no way the top four seeds ended up

732
00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:13.559
<v Speaker 2>being those two teams.

733
00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:14.840
<v Speaker 3>But I kind of feel like it was.

734
00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:16.639
<v Speaker 4>Didn't they go to Penn stare or was at that

735
00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:18.599
<v Speaker 4>point they were playing at like.

736
00:35:18.519 --> 00:35:23.760
<v Speaker 2>The Penn State opened this opened their game against SMU

737
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:26.039
<v Speaker 2>and one Yes, yes, so yeah, that's what it was.

738
00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Boise State was three and Arizona State was four, So

739
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:30.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, again, it sounds crazy, but they did because

740
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:33.320
<v Speaker 2>we all knew that it was just by proxy, like

741
00:35:33.360 --> 00:35:35.360
<v Speaker 2>those weren't that those two teams were not on the

742
00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:38.760
<v Speaker 2>top four, but they but there were slotted spots in

743
00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:41.679
<v Speaker 2>the top four for conference champions. So the SEC and

744
00:35:41.719 --> 00:35:46.280
<v Speaker 2>the Big Ten are fighting to get that changed, and

745
00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:48.440
<v Speaker 2>they're hoping that, you know, to sell that the best

746
00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:53.679
<v Speaker 2>teams should be seeded they're regardless of conference afiliation, because

747
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:57.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's true winning the Big Twelve like Arizona

748
00:35:57.679 --> 00:36:00.360
<v Speaker 2>State did, and by the way, they played phenomenal in

749
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:01.960
<v Speaker 2>the playoff, like shout out to them, they got a

750
00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:05.119
<v Speaker 2>bright future. I think we killed Kenny Kenny Dillingham, But

751
00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:10.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean they probably weren't deserving of that top seed.

752
00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:12.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess they are based on how the

753
00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:13.719
<v Speaker 2>format is, but I don't think the format.

754
00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:14.199
<v Speaker 3>Should be that way.

755
00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:18.599
<v Speaker 2>So the issue could be for this to change, it's

756
00:36:18.679 --> 00:36:24.199
<v Speaker 2>going to require unanimous approval from all ten football you know,

757
00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:28.360
<v Speaker 2>from all FBS conferences and Notre Dame because of the

758
00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:31.719
<v Speaker 2>current contract for the ESPN, SO commissioners from the Big Twelve,

759
00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:35.039
<v Speaker 2>the ACC and several group of five conferences have been

760
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:39.320
<v Speaker 2>reluctant about making this change because they cite that, you know,

761
00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:42.239
<v Speaker 2>it's concerns over losing the financial benefits that are associated

762
00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:44.960
<v Speaker 2>with those first round buys, which look, everybody's going to

763
00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:47.800
<v Speaker 2>be watching every penny to get spent now because of

764
00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:49.719
<v Speaker 2>the money that's going to be spent here moving forward,

765
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:52.000
<v Speaker 2>to share revenue with the athletes, which we'll get to

766
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:54.039
<v Speaker 2>bat any other in the five o'clock hour because Georgia

767
00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:56.599
<v Speaker 2>has announced how they're going to share their revenue, which

768
00:36:56.639 --> 00:36:58.079
<v Speaker 2>there was a little bit of a surprise there as

769
00:36:58.079 --> 00:36:58.599
<v Speaker 2>far as how.

770
00:36:58.480 --> 00:36:59.960
<v Speaker 3>It's being split up.

771
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:08.920
<v Speaker 2>But anyways, even if you you know understand the argument

772
00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:13.159
<v Speaker 2>made if it's about money, I wouldn't budge, I mean

773
00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:16.320
<v Speaker 2>in any way, but especially now what they're being like. Look,

774
00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:20.400
<v Speaker 2>the schools who are gonna be who like Boise and

775
00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Arizona State getting the financial bump from being in those

776
00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:27.639
<v Speaker 2>top four seeds, they need it way more than anybody

777
00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:29.760
<v Speaker 2>from the SEC or the Big ten. Those schools are

778
00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:34.159
<v Speaker 2>swimming in money. The other schools are probably gonna be okay,

779
00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:36.320
<v Speaker 2>but they don't have the bank roll that the Big

780
00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:39.039
<v Speaker 2>ten and the SEC have, so you know they're gonna

781
00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:41.440
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna fight to keep it the way it is,

782
00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:45.400
<v Speaker 2>So the Big ten in the SEC they need unanimous

783
00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:47.000
<v Speaker 2>and they're probably not gonna get it. So this could

784
00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:48.599
<v Speaker 2>be where they just decide, Okay, are they gonna take

785
00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:50.400
<v Speaker 2>their ball and leave and just say, Okay, we don't

786
00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:51.440
<v Speaker 2>need you, We'll do our own thing. I mean, I

787
00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:53.079
<v Speaker 2>don't know how they could, because there's a contract with

788
00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:56.320
<v Speaker 2>ESPN that includes you know, everybody. I mean, I don't

789
00:37:56.320 --> 00:37:58.320
<v Speaker 2>think they would do that, but you know, they're gonna

790
00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:00.679
<v Speaker 2>try to get their way, and I don't see it happening.

791
00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:07.000
<v Speaker 2>So Big Ten Commissioner Brett yor Mark he has emphasized

792
00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:11.519
<v Speaker 2>the importance of retaining the financial benefit that comes with

793
00:38:11.559 --> 00:38:14.679
<v Speaker 2>those buys. So therefore he's you know, claiming, oh, we're

794
00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:16.119
<v Speaker 2>going to we want to keep it this way because

795
00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:19.639
<v Speaker 2>we the financial component here is a real reward that

796
00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:22.119
<v Speaker 2>we think, you know, we deserve and clearly we need.

797
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:25.719
<v Speaker 2>Jim Phillips of the ACC he's made a point that

798
00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:29.199
<v Speaker 2>the current system is comparable to other professional playoff formats

799
00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:32.360
<v Speaker 2>that reward conference or divisional champions And to be honest,

800
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:35.199
<v Speaker 2>Jim Phillips, I mean about time he sacked up and

801
00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:38.800
<v Speaker 2>had a spine and fought back a little bit instead

802
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:41.199
<v Speaker 2>of being an empty suit. But he actually makes a

803
00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:43.199
<v Speaker 2>really good point in every other I mean, I don't

804
00:38:43.239 --> 00:38:45.559
<v Speaker 2>necessarily think it's great, but we've known, like in the NFL,

805
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:48.280
<v Speaker 2>how often do you know that a team, because of

806
00:38:48.280 --> 00:38:50.039
<v Speaker 2>their division is going to be in a better situation

807
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:52.079
<v Speaker 2>in the playoffs than a team that you know is

808
00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:52.679
<v Speaker 2>better than them.

809
00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:56.159
<v Speaker 3>That's just how it is in sports. So that's actually

810
00:38:56.159 --> 00:39:02.079
<v Speaker 3>a legitimate point. So we'll see. They're gonna meet. I

811
00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:05.000
<v Speaker 3>think I think they're gonna meet.

812
00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:08.119
<v Speaker 2>I think they're meeting currently in New Orleans, and then

813
00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:10.679
<v Speaker 2>I think there's another meeting set later, maybe in Dallas

814
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:11.199
<v Speaker 2>or something.

815
00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:13.119
<v Speaker 3>So we'll see.

816
00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:18.519
<v Speaker 2>But given the legitimate pushback that's already there from the

817
00:39:18.519 --> 00:39:21.719
<v Speaker 2>Big twelve, the ACC and uh even the even the

818
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:23.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, the G five teams, right like Boise State,

819
00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:25.840
<v Speaker 2>like they got a big payday for being a top

820
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:29.679
<v Speaker 2>four seed, And if the Big ten and the SEC

821
00:39:29.800 --> 00:39:32.840
<v Speaker 2>are gonna like talk again, think about it, like maybe

822
00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:35.519
<v Speaker 2>this is really just the arrogance of the SEC and

823
00:39:35.559 --> 00:39:37.719
<v Speaker 2>the Big Ten on full display. Everybody agreed to this

824
00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:44.000
<v Speaker 2>years ago, and these schools need it, they benefit from it,

825
00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:46.400
<v Speaker 2>and like the bullies are gonna try to convince them

826
00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:49.400
<v Speaker 2>to like go to their go their way, Like why

827
00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:49.880
<v Speaker 2>would they?

828
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:52.239
<v Speaker 3>Why would they?

829
00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:55.400
<v Speaker 2>All right, we got another hour coming your way, so

830
00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:57.920
<v Speaker 2>hang out. Why would you not listen to this phenomenal

831
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:02.079
<v Speaker 2>program that is coffee and company fuel about Thornton's five

832
