00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:10.320
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick coffee.

3
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Better late than never, right, maybe the latest we've ever

4
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:32.960
<v Speaker 2>started the five o'clock hour, but you know, it happens.

5
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:35.840
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes we'll finish strong.

6
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:38.320
<v Speaker 2>It is coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's here on

7
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:41.399
<v Speaker 2>Sports Talk seven ninety. Thank you for hanging out with us.

8
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:46.439
<v Speaker 2>A big discussion we've had throughout the show so far

9
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:51.479
<v Speaker 2>today is one of the I was gonna say, I

10
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:54.520
<v Speaker 2>was actually thinking about it, really spinning my wheels on it,

11
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.159
<v Speaker 2>not really sure how to like, you don't know what

12
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.679
<v Speaker 2>you could be missing without Ali Khalifa because he's never

13
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:04.680
<v Speaker 2>played for Louisville, but him being ineligible and now Louisville

14
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.760
<v Speaker 2>needing an appeal to be successful for him to be

15
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.159
<v Speaker 2>able to play this year is it's a pretty it's

16
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:11.359
<v Speaker 2>a pretty scary situation.

17
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:11.799
<v Speaker 3>You know.

18
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.920
<v Speaker 2>Again, hard to know for sure what you're missing when

19
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:18.120
<v Speaker 2>you didn't get to see him play. Same thing was

20
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.040
<v Speaker 2>said about Corn Johnson, right like, he played in what

21
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:25.040
<v Speaker 2>two games? But clearly you know you lose out on

22
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:30.200
<v Speaker 2>having depth and there's a lot to like about Ali

23
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Khalifa as far as what you believe he can do,

24
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:35.439
<v Speaker 2>and there's really no way to know until he actually

25
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.000
<v Speaker 2>gets out there. And now we don't know if that's

26
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.840
<v Speaker 2>going to happen. But he found out I guess within

27
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.680
<v Speaker 2>the last twenty four hours that the appeal. I guess

28
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>the waiver that he put in requesting an extension on

29
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:53.200
<v Speaker 2>his five year clock was denied. And I didn't, you know,

30
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:55.920
<v Speaker 2>I asked if there was any I did to speak

31
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:57.560
<v Speaker 2>to somebody with UVEL earlier to day, just to try

32
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.480
<v Speaker 2>to get some clarification. And you know, when they deny

33
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 2>your waiver, it doesn't sound like there's any real big explanation,

34
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:10.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, I mean it, It just was denied. And

35
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 2>he has red shirted twice in his career. Once was

36
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.680
<v Speaker 2>an injury red shirt, which was this past season, and

37
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 2>then also his first year when he arrived at college

38
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:22.639
<v Speaker 2>at Charlotte, he.

39
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:23.360
<v Speaker 3>Did not play.

40
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.199
<v Speaker 2>It was a red shirt, but it was not medical.

41
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:28.680
<v Speaker 2>As to what it was, I don't know. But he's

42
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:30.560
<v Speaker 2>only played in three years of college. He's only played

43
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 2>three years of college basketball. And he's not someone that is,

44
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, looking for a sixth or seventh year. He's

45
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:41.360
<v Speaker 2>looking to play a fourth year of college sports, which

46
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 2>is what it's always supposed to have been, and there

47
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:49.159
<v Speaker 2>are many guys playing fifth, sixth year and some of

48
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:52.439
<v Speaker 2>the reasoning behind their waivers. I mean, let's be honest,

49
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad that it worked out because it's benefited Louisville

50
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.879
<v Speaker 2>with guys like Cason Pryor and Javon Hadley with the

51
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.080
<v Speaker 2>JUCO thing, but like that's not I mean, I get

52
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.639
<v Speaker 2>why the why the courts decided that the NCAA didn't

53
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.159
<v Speaker 2>have the ability to tell somebody that because they played

54
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:15.280
<v Speaker 2>junior college that they now get a fresh four year start.

55
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:16.719
<v Speaker 3>So again I get it.

56
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:18.840
<v Speaker 2>However, I mean, if that's the case, you could go

57
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.400
<v Speaker 2>play nai for four years and then enter college at

58
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.439
<v Speaker 2>twenty two and then play And again, I'm not advocating

59
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:27.599
<v Speaker 2>that all this should be allowed, but there's been a

60
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.919
<v Speaker 2>lot of fighting with the NCUBA with these waivers and

61
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.879
<v Speaker 2>hiring lawyers taking it to court. The nc DOUBLEA lose

62
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.400
<v Speaker 2>as often, and we haven't got there yet with Khalifa,

63
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.879
<v Speaker 2>but they're appealing it and he has a lawyer, and.

64
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:40.159
<v Speaker 3>I just.

65
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.039
<v Speaker 2>If it wasn't the nc DOUBLEA and we didn't know

66
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:50.599
<v Speaker 2>of the history they have with just being insanely unpredictable, inconsistent,

67
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.000
<v Speaker 2>just deciding, hey, we're doing this because and that's the

68
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:56.479
<v Speaker 2>way it is. We don't have a reason. Just deal

69
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:58.599
<v Speaker 2>with it. I mean, there's been years of that to

70
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 2>where like that's what I'm worried about. What gives me

71
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.080
<v Speaker 2>some hope is that you just hope that they'll do

72
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:06.599
<v Speaker 2>the right thing, and you'll hope that somebody within the

73
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 2>NCAA will review his appeal and realize, of all the

74
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.159
<v Speaker 2>players that are trying to stick around in college as

75
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.399
<v Speaker 2>long as they can, this is the last guy we

76
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.079
<v Speaker 2>should make an example of and say no, you're done.

77
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he got surgery last year, couldn't play, and

78
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.079
<v Speaker 2>then he played two years at Charlotte, one year at BYU,

79
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:29.720
<v Speaker 2>so he played his first year, and then he didn't

80
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.480
<v Speaker 2>play this past year in a five year window. So

81
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.040
<v Speaker 2>this rule has been around a long time. If you'd

82
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.360
<v Speaker 2>have told me this morning that that year five year clock,

83
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 2>meaning you get four years, I'm sorry, you get five

84
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.279
<v Speaker 2>years to play four If you'd have told me this

85
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 2>morning randomly that that no longer existed, I totally believe you,

86
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.959
<v Speaker 2>because not because I remember any story of it, not

87
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.720
<v Speaker 2>being a thing, but like, think about how many guys

88
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.439
<v Speaker 2>you watch and girls for that matter, in college that

89
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.399
<v Speaker 2>you know have played a long time, longer than four,

90
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Like they played five seasons. And to me, that's like

91
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 2>the old that's the ultimate. Two things that really just

92
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 2>seem like I can't believe they denied it, Like they

93
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:11.560
<v Speaker 2>couldn't have even looked at a situation because of these

94
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:15.920
<v Speaker 2>two things. Specifically, one, he's not fighting to play a

95
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.759
<v Speaker 2>fifth year. He's just fighting to play a fourth year,

96
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 2>like you're all like most guys often do. There are

97
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.600
<v Speaker 2>guys in their sixth year that have played that are

98
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.560
<v Speaker 2>still eligible to play, Like, make it make sense now.

99
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.839
<v Speaker 2>The other one, the other thing, that's just an obvious

100
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.639
<v Speaker 2>and I mean a real obvious I guess, just something

101
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:37.959
<v Speaker 2>they didn't they didn't look at. But like it makes

102
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.600
<v Speaker 2>no sense that the year that he did not play

103
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:44.160
<v Speaker 2>and he red shirted in two thousand and twenty and

104
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty one, the year where we tried to have sports

105
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.360
<v Speaker 2>with very few fans, there constant testing, a lot of

106
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.319
<v Speaker 2>games not taking place because of COVID restrictions and whatnot.

107
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:55.959
<v Speaker 2>That year didn't count for anybody.

108
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 3>That played. Ali Khalifa didn't play and it counts for him.

109
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:02.759
<v Speaker 3>Makes no sense.

110
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.720
<v Speaker 2>It's a free year. He was in school but did

111
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:09.560
<v Speaker 2>not play, and that's being used against him in his

112
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.600
<v Speaker 2>five year clock. Makes zero sense. So like, looking at

113
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.120
<v Speaker 2>those two things, the fact that he's only played three years,

114
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:18.240
<v Speaker 2>he's not trying to get a sixty year of on

115
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.199
<v Speaker 2>court action, and the fact that one of the years

116
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:25.480
<v Speaker 2>that you're claiming is the clock for him didn't count

117
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.519
<v Speaker 2>for anybody. By all accounts, that was not No one

118
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:32.800
<v Speaker 2>used any eligibility at all that year, So how could

119
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:35.920
<v Speaker 2>he be out of time? It just makes it's ridiculous.

120
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.720
<v Speaker 2>So again, the more I yell about it, the more

121
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:41.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm just thinking somebody will have some common sense and

122
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:44.240
<v Speaker 2>look at this situation and say, yeah, appeal.

123
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:49.199
<v Speaker 3>Granted, he can easily play. This is from.

124
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:55.000
<v Speaker 2>One of the field of sixty eight writers covering college basketball.

125
00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:00.519
<v Speaker 2>He shared Louisville's statement and said this quote, what are

126
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.079
<v Speaker 2>we doing here? The five year clock shouldn't include the

127
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:06.360
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty twenty twenty one season since it didn't count anyways,

128
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.839
<v Speaker 2>that's crazy. If Khalifa doesn't get his appeal accepted, he

129
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:13.000
<v Speaker 2>deserves better than this, Like no one could claim the

130
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:16.519
<v Speaker 2>NCAA is doing the right thing here, no one and

131
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.959
<v Speaker 2>if you are, you're just a hater and you're just

132
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:21.040
<v Speaker 2>probably trolling. And that's fine, I get it, that happens.

133
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:26.519
<v Speaker 2>But the constant stories every day in the news cycle

134
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:30.240
<v Speaker 2>of guys being twenty seven on their sixth year, somehow

135
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.079
<v Speaker 2>still obtaining eligibility and yet he can't play.

136
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:34.879
<v Speaker 3>It's nonsense.

137
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:40.399
<v Speaker 2>Now, the statement says this University of loubwmen's basketball student.

138
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.560
<v Speaker 3>Athlete Ali Khalifa. Ali Khalifa's request.

139
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.360
<v Speaker 2>For an extension of his five year clock that would

140
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.319
<v Speaker 2>allow him to utilize his fourth and final season of

141
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:49.879
<v Speaker 2>eligibility was denied by the nc DOUBLEA. The University of

142
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Louisville is appealing that decision and believes that Ali has

143
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:55.279
<v Speaker 2>a strong case that warrants an additional year. After earning

144
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 2>his bachelor's degree, Ali continues to work towards a master's

145
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.680
<v Speaker 2>degree at the university while preparing for the twenty twenty

146
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.560
<v Speaker 2>five twenty six season. The more I think about it,

147
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.399
<v Speaker 2>the more upset I get. And it's just so stupid.

148
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:12.920
<v Speaker 2>It's just so so stupid. All right again, it is

149
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:15.800
<v Speaker 2>coffee and Company, and we are fueled by Thornton's. As

150
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.920
<v Speaker 2>you likely know as a member of the Refresher Awards program,

151
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:20.360
<v Speaker 2>you're going to save money every time.

152
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:20.879
<v Speaker 3>You get gas.

153
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:23.839
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sure there are others that offer some type

154
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:26.120
<v Speaker 2>of savings. When I say others, I just assume you know,

155
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:29.600
<v Speaker 2>there's others out there trying to compete with Thornton's. Good luck,

156
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:31.279
<v Speaker 2>though it'd be tough to do. I'm not possible in

157
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:34.279
<v Speaker 2>my opinion. But are they giving you twenty five cents

158
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:38.960
<v Speaker 2>off once per week? Probably not, So take advantage. Also,

159
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.360
<v Speaker 2>take advantage of all the delicious food items. They've got

160
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:45.559
<v Speaker 2>cheese sticks now, and I don't mean actually, let me

161
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.720
<v Speaker 2>ask you this, Austin. You're a fellow foodie. When I

162
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:51.200
<v Speaker 2>say cheese stick, what are you thinking of?

163
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:55.039
<v Speaker 3>Like, describe it like a like a mozzarella cheese stick.

164
00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:59.279
<v Speaker 2>So mozzarella stick and a cheese stick I think are different. Okay,

165
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:01.480
<v Speaker 2>because the cheese stick is like, you know, I guess

166
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.000
<v Speaker 2>more so cheese bread. But the way that it's sliced,

167
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:07.720
<v Speaker 2>it's it's, you know, like it's like a stick.

168
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:08.720
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying.

169
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Because they don't have me they don't have monzarella sticks

170
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:12.799
<v Speaker 2>to my knowledge. But they've got like cheese bread that

171
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.120
<v Speaker 2>is cut into like little thin sticks that you dip

172
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.759
<v Speaker 2>in mozzarella sauce. Right, Okay, so they don't just have pizza.

173
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:19.960
<v Speaker 2>They've got that now too. I mean I think they're

174
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.039
<v Speaker 2>I think they're called cheese sticks. But I know when

175
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.279
<v Speaker 2>I say cheese stick, everybody was gonna think what Austin thoughts.

176
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.759
<v Speaker 2>So I'm trying to trying to clarify. But yeah, I

177
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:30.240
<v Speaker 2>went there for breakfast yesterday. I mean I'm there every day,

178
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.639
<v Speaker 2>so it's it's home. I mean, you probably went with

179
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:35.480
<v Speaker 2>what I go with, and that's the sausage, egg and

180
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:36.600
<v Speaker 2>cheese croissant.

181
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.799
<v Speaker 3>With the bacon egg ands. Okay, you can't go wrong there.

182
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.840
<v Speaker 2>But have you seen how they have Like now, I

183
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:43.919
<v Speaker 2>get it, they've had donuts there forever, but the ba

184
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.720
<v Speaker 2>the BAKERI is now back open and they're preparing the

185
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:50.639
<v Speaker 2>fresh donuts, and man, it is a sight to behold

186
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:52.759
<v Speaker 2>when they put that, Like it's just a beautiful thing

187
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.240
<v Speaker 2>to look at. When they put an entire tray within

188
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.759
<v Speaker 2>like the in the whatever you call it, like the

189
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:02.600
<v Speaker 2>door you open up and they're all glazed perfectly, just

190
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:07.360
<v Speaker 2>sitting there in nice, beautiful rows and it just looks delicious.

191
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:08.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, obviously.

192
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:11.600
<v Speaker 4>There's somebody dedicated back. Oh yeah, like that's their job.

193
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:12.080
<v Speaker 3>That's right.

194
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:14.759
<v Speaker 4>It's not the it's not the cashier running back and

195
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:18.000
<v Speaker 4>forth and get caught up. Someone is dedicated to bringing

196
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.399
<v Speaker 4>you that warm, glazy doughnut experience.

197
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:20.840
<v Speaker 3>That's right.

198
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:25.039
<v Speaker 2>They're they're there to provide fresh, quality food. And I

199
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:27.919
<v Speaker 2>will say the industry as a whole has has certainly

200
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.679
<v Speaker 2>changed over the years, but I always give a lot

201
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.039
<v Speaker 2>of credit to Thornton's for changing that stigma. Because ten

202
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:38.480
<v Speaker 2>years ago you brought up eating food made prepared at

203
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:41.000
<v Speaker 2>a gas station. I'm not talking about snacks or anything.

204
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking like food that is made and prepared at

205
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.720
<v Speaker 2>a gas station slash convenience store. People would think like, oh,

206
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:48.240
<v Speaker 2>I can't do that. I may have to, you know,

207
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:51.440
<v Speaker 2>be close to a bathroom after I eat something like that.

208
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:53.799
<v Speaker 2>That's not the case anymore. And I'm you know, I

209
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:58.320
<v Speaker 2>don't know where credit totally belongs, but I'm giving it

210
00:10:58.320 --> 00:10:59.840
<v Speaker 2>all to Thorntons because you know, that's what I'm gonna do.

211
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:01.559
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm gonna.

212
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:02.399
<v Speaker 3>Do, all right.

213
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:06.440
<v Speaker 2>So let's see, we kind of need to get to

214
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:07.840
<v Speaker 2>a break just to keep this thing on track. But

215
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.519
<v Speaker 2>I do think real quick, there's one more thing that

216
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.399
<v Speaker 2>I that I can get too quickly here before we

217
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:15.759
<v Speaker 2>take a time out. So this is just something you

218
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:19.919
<v Speaker 2>don't often probably think about, but it is crazy. So

219
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:25.320
<v Speaker 2>there's a new updated chart with SEC football programs. The

220
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:30.559
<v Speaker 2>most severance that they that was paid in twenty twenty four,

221
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.279
<v Speaker 2>meaning the amount of money being I mean to me,

222
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:36.360
<v Speaker 2>that's that's the amount of money being paid out to

223
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.480
<v Speaker 2>coaches who you know, got buyouts that are no longer

224
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:44.200
<v Speaker 2>still coaching there. And I mean I remember this. I

225
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:45.879
<v Speaker 2>just haven't thought about it in a while. But when

226
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:50.960
<v Speaker 2>A and M fired Jimbo Fisher, like his buyout was insane,

227
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:52.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean.

228
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:55.000
<v Speaker 3>It's it's it's crazy.

229
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.879
<v Speaker 2>So the chart, again it's a visual you'd have to actually,

230
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, be looking at it. And this is this

231
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:05.279
<v Speaker 2>is still an audio medium. But they paid over twenty

232
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:10.159
<v Speaker 2>five million dollars in twenty twenty four in severn spending.

233
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:15.039
<v Speaker 2>So in fact, twenty seven million, twenty seven point five

234
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:19.279
<v Speaker 2>million is what they paid out for football staffers, mostly

235
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:22.759
<v Speaker 2>Jimbo to not coach because they had their contracts bought out.

236
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:28.840
<v Speaker 2>In second place, is Auburn at ten point eight, So

237
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:32.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, is there any doubt that when it comes

238
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:34.200
<v Speaker 2>down to who has to when who when you really

239
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:36.679
<v Speaker 2>got to dig deep and you gotta go to the

240
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:42.279
<v Speaker 2>war chest, round up whoever is affiliated a fan that's

241
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.759
<v Speaker 2>got deep pockets. I feel like A and M has

242
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:48.799
<v Speaker 2>proven throughout various instances in recent years that they got

243
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.360
<v Speaker 2>the bag, and it's a bigger bag than anybody else.

244
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:55.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't even think there's many programs that

245
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.120
<v Speaker 2>could even do that, like they simply like, for example,

246
00:12:58.120 --> 00:12:59.840
<v Speaker 2>and this isn't a knock on Kentucky. I'm just using

247
00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:03.320
<v Speaker 2>this as an example, like Mark Pope, Mark Mark Stoops,

248
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and Cal for that matter, Like the biggest

249
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.159
<v Speaker 2>thing about those two guys, Like it wouldn't shock you

250
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:13.759
<v Speaker 2>if at the end of that year when Kentucky lost

251
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.639
<v Speaker 2>to Saint not Saint Peter's but Oakland, Like it wouldn't

252
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:21.799
<v Speaker 2>have been a surprise if you found out that Mitch

253
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Barnhart wanted to fire cow right, because that's like a

254
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.679
<v Speaker 2>really unacceptable loss, and you had two of them in

255
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:30.320
<v Speaker 2>three years, and clearly things had just gotten stale. But

256
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:32.440
<v Speaker 2>the only reason it never was going to be a

257
00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:35.519
<v Speaker 2>real possibility, and everybody knew it was because of the money,

258
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:39.679
<v Speaker 2>but his buyout wasn't what Jimbo Fishers was. And I

259
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:41.600
<v Speaker 2>don't even know what Mark stoops Is buyout is. And

260
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:44.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure that Barnhart would ever want to fire him,

261
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.200
<v Speaker 2>but like if he did, I think what would keep

262
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:49.600
<v Speaker 2>him from doing it after last year when they were

263
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:53.480
<v Speaker 2>four and eight probably would have been the money. So

264
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:59.639
<v Speaker 2>I uh, you know, Louisville, for the most part, I

265
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.360
<v Speaker 2>feel like has done well with nil and both basketball

266
00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:05.320
<v Speaker 2>and football. Like, let's be real, we're not the richest,

267
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:07.919
<v Speaker 2>but in this new world, and we're relatively new into

268
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:10.919
<v Speaker 2>this new world. On the UFL side, there haven't been many,

269
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:14.919
<v Speaker 2>if any, big stories of like, well, we're at a

270
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:18.360
<v Speaker 2>disadvantage because we don't have the money that this program has.

271
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure there's been guys that win elsewhere because we

272
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:22.240
<v Speaker 2>didn't have the money and we would or we wouldn't

273
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.279
<v Speaker 2>match it because we know our budget. So I'm not

274
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:27.679
<v Speaker 2>acting like it's never happened. But you know, for the

275
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.039
<v Speaker 2>most part, so far, we've been able to kind of

276
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:32.759
<v Speaker 2>manage and navigate in this new world as best as

277
00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:34.840
<v Speaker 2>we can. And it's not been a real issue as

278
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:36.639
<v Speaker 2>far as feeling like, yeah, we don't have the pockets

279
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:37.120
<v Speaker 2>that others have.

280
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.639
<v Speaker 3>But clearly there are some programs out there.

281
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:44.159
<v Speaker 2>That have billionaire donors and you know alum that will

282
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:48.000
<v Speaker 2>we'll pay whatever, because they seemingly have endless amounts of money,

283
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.519
<v Speaker 2>and man, they love their college program and they'll do

284
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:52.919
<v Speaker 2>anything to help it succeed. And I would love to

285
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:55.360
<v Speaker 2>know the breakdown of who all like, how that all like,

286
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:57.720
<v Speaker 2>who decided to put up what to get rid of?

287
00:14:57.840 --> 00:14:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Jimbo Fisher.

288
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:01.039
<v Speaker 2>All right, quick break, we'll keep it rolling along here

289
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:02.759
<v Speaker 2>in the five o'clock hour. It's coffee and Company fuel

290
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:04.639
<v Speaker 2>about Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety.

291
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Now back to coffee and company fueled by Thornton's on

292
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

293
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.600
<v Speaker 2>We got about thirty minutes left here on a Thursday afternoon.

294
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:25.720
<v Speaker 3>Thanks for hanging out with us.

295
00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:29.039
<v Speaker 2>I was going to tell you a beautiful Thursday, which

296
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:32.039
<v Speaker 2>it was when I walked in, but I don't know

297
00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:32.519
<v Speaker 2>if that's.

298
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:33.879
<v Speaker 3>Still the case. I always.

299
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.679
<v Speaker 2>Always lose track oft time and realize that, you know,

300
00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:41.559
<v Speaker 2>temperature around here can change pretty quickly. I hope it

301
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:43.519
<v Speaker 2>doesn't rain, though, because I know there's a lot of

302
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:45.000
<v Speaker 2>folks that are probably going to be heading out to

303
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Churchill Downs for the night racing. I've got my wife

304
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:49.919
<v Speaker 2>has some family in town from California. I know they're

305
00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:52.440
<v Speaker 2>going to be heading out there. So hopefully the weather

306
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:57.320
<v Speaker 2>with the weather does does cooperate. Is there There's not

307
00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:59.919
<v Speaker 2>like any big concert going on in town? Is the

308
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.440
<v Speaker 2>or do you know Austin Not that I know of

309
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:06.799
<v Speaker 2>right now, No, because it seems like there's there's the

310
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:09.519
<v Speaker 2>I know hotels in downtown. I only know this because

311
00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:13.399
<v Speaker 2>I went through and booked our our hotel for Saturday.

312
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:15.879
<v Speaker 2>My wife and I are having our little staycation anniversary

313
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:17.879
<v Speaker 2>night with on Saturday.

314
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:19.879
<v Speaker 3>And when I went into and.

315
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:22.600
<v Speaker 2>I usually would never go to a hotel to book

316
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:24.759
<v Speaker 2>a reservation, but we had a gift card to one

317
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:26.600
<v Speaker 2>of them, and I didn't know how to use it online.

318
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:30.919
<v Speaker 2>So they'd mentioned, you know, basically that Saturday worked out

319
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:33.320
<v Speaker 2>well because it would be a lot cheaper than what

320
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:36.120
<v Speaker 2>it is the rest of the week because every hotel

321
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:38.159
<v Speaker 2>is booked up, and I'm thinking for what, like what's

322
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:40.879
<v Speaker 2>what's what would be? I didn't know of any like

323
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:44.559
<v Speaker 2>big event going on, so I know Kevin Hart was

324
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:45.399
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be coming to town.

325
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:47.559
<v Speaker 3>Did you see that guy postponed? I got postponed? Do

326
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:48.120
<v Speaker 3>we know why?

327
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's pretty rare, is it not to have

328
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:54.320
<v Speaker 2>a I mean I kind of feel like that. You

329
00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:58.200
<v Speaker 2>don't often see those events get postponed without I mean

330
00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:00.600
<v Speaker 2>unless something something happened as far as like an illness

331
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:02.519
<v Speaker 2>or whatever it may be. And maybe that's so, And

332
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:04.759
<v Speaker 2>that's what I was gonna That's kind of what I

333
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:08.279
<v Speaker 2>was going to mention, is that, like usually if that happens,

334
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:10.200
<v Speaker 2>I would say that it could be because they're gonna

335
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:12.319
<v Speaker 2>need a little bit more time. Yeah, Like I'm looking

336
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:14.960
<v Speaker 2>right here. I just put in Kevin Hart postponed Louisville

337
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.440
<v Speaker 2>and says here that his performance at the Palace, originally

338
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:20.920
<v Speaker 2>scheduled for May seventeenth, has been pushed back to September

339
00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:24.519
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventh. Also, there was one in Grand Rapids that

340
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.960
<v Speaker 2>has been has been canceled within the last couple of days.

341
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:30.279
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know if he's having a tough time,

342
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, selling tickets, but I would and saw him.

343
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:35.599
<v Speaker 2>I've only been to one stand up show in like

344
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:37.799
<v Speaker 2>an arena. Honestly, I've been in the improv a few

345
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:39.319
<v Speaker 2>times and really liked it. When the improv used to

346
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:40.640
<v Speaker 2>do you ever go to the improv at four Street?

347
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:42.119
<v Speaker 2>Did you know that it was here?

348
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:42.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

349
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:44.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they they used.

350
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:46.920
<v Speaker 2>To get some pretty decent, pretty decent names, and then

351
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:48.960
<v Speaker 2>I would always end up we would go. We went

352
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:51.720
<v Speaker 2>and saw Ralphie May. We went and saw.

353
00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:57.319
<v Speaker 3>This guy who he wasn't like a big name, but

354
00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:57.799
<v Speaker 3>he was.

355
00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:00.960
<v Speaker 2>He was known enough, and he actually ended up kind

356
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.880
<v Speaker 2>of kind of getting canceled because he got caught lying about.

357
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:05.720
<v Speaker 3>Being in the in the.

358
00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:07.319
<v Speaker 2>Trade center on nine to eleven, which you know, it's

359
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:09.720
<v Speaker 2>a pretty big deal to lie about that. But anyways,

360
00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:12.240
<v Speaker 2>when I went and saw both of those acts, I

361
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:14.119
<v Speaker 2>don't remember who they are, so I guess technically I didn't.

362
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:15.440
<v Speaker 3>They didn't leave that much of an impression.

363
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:17.920
<v Speaker 2>But like the people who would who would be there

364
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:20.680
<v Speaker 2>was always like a local opener, like somebody that like

365
00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:24.039
<v Speaker 2>works for the improv that is a stand up comedian clearly,

366
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:26.119
<v Speaker 2>like that's their craft and they're pretty good at what

367
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:27.759
<v Speaker 2>they do, but you know, they haven't had like a

368
00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:30.279
<v Speaker 2>big break yet. And then there would be another comedian

369
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:31.920
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of a part of I guess maybe the tour,

370
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.799
<v Speaker 2>but is not the headliner, and they were, you know,

371
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:38.559
<v Speaker 2>I think twice. I remember finding those to be more

372
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:42.759
<v Speaker 2>funny than even the main performers, which those you know, Ralphie.

373
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:43.000
<v Speaker 3>May was great.

374
00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:45.200
<v Speaker 2>And the other guy who I've already forgot his name,

375
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:46.440
<v Speaker 2>he was he was, He was great.

376
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:47.720
<v Speaker 3>Have you ever been to a stand up show?

377
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:49.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I've only I've only been to a few, and

378
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:53.240
<v Speaker 4>they were out at the laugh Factory out in La.

379
00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:56.559
<v Speaker 3>Big time big. I mean, I was it. I guess

380
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:58.559
<v Speaker 3>it was pretty cool that. I think. The main guy

381
00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:01.640
<v Speaker 3>there was Chris Delia. Do you remember that?

382
00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:04.559
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, he got canceled right but then nice kind

383
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:06.279
<v Speaker 2>of like back maybe I don't know, Yeah.

384
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:08.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was right after he got like that's his

385
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:10.319
<v Speaker 4>stick now as he talks about like the process of

386
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:12.680
<v Speaker 4>getting canceled. Maybe it was only a couple of years ago,

387
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:15.680
<v Speaker 4>but I saw him now, I'm lying. Also went to

388
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:17.759
<v Speaker 4>one in New York too, but it wasn't any big

389
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:19.880
<v Speaker 4>like as like a hole in the wall comedy club

390
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:22.960
<v Speaker 4>all because I can't remember who the big name that

391
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:24.960
<v Speaker 4>we were going to go see. But it was right

392
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:28.480
<v Speaker 4>after COVID and it was in New York. You had

393
00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:31.960
<v Speaker 4>to have you had to be two weeks past your

394
00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:36.400
<v Speaker 4>past vaccination. So like, and I had lied to my

395
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:40.400
<v Speaker 4>now fiance, told her I was vexed completely when we

396
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:44.319
<v Speaker 4>started dating, and I absolutely was not. So I knew

397
00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:46.720
<v Speaker 4>about like a week before that trip, like I should

398
00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:49.599
<v Speaker 4>at least probably go get like, you know, a shot

399
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:54.000
<v Speaker 4>or something like two weeks, and so I did. It

400
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:57.319
<v Speaker 4>was actually later it was my second shot because I know,

401
00:19:57.440 --> 00:19:59.400
<v Speaker 4>this is the last question that you asked when I'm

402
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:03.920
<v Speaker 4>chasing a rabbit. Had I had actually gotten half vaxed

403
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:05.839
<v Speaker 4>during that summer because that was the first time I

404
00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:09.960
<v Speaker 4>actually got COVID And literally right after that is like

405
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:12.960
<v Speaker 4>that's when I actually got COVID. So I didn't come

406
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:14.839
<v Speaker 4>back because they told me, once you get it, you

407
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:15.799
<v Speaker 4>didn't need another one.

408
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:16.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I got it at Kroger.

409
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:19.759
<v Speaker 4>But about a week before we went, I decided, let

410
00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:21.400
<v Speaker 4>me just go ahead and get full vaxed because we're

411
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:25.559
<v Speaker 4>going to New York. And when we showed up to

412
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:28.680
<v Speaker 4>New York, they were checking vax cards and they said, no,

413
00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:32.400
<v Speaker 4>this is you haven't been fully vaxed for two weeks

414
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:35.599
<v Speaker 4>yet you're two days off from being fully vaxed for

415
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:37.559
<v Speaker 4>two weeks, so they turned us around at the club

416
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:38.759
<v Speaker 4>that would fight.

417
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:41.599
<v Speaker 3>We got into that that would be brutal. It was.

418
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:42.559
<v Speaker 3>It was pretty bad.

419
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:47.200
<v Speaker 4>We almost we almost became not a thing that what

420
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:50.480
<v Speaker 4>year was this twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two is

421
00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:52.920
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty like March of twenty twenty two as our.

422
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:54.720
<v Speaker 3>First I guess, I guess, believe it or not.

423
00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:58.960
<v Speaker 2>There were some areas that were like a lot stricter

424
00:20:59.039 --> 00:20:59.839
<v Speaker 2>about it than we were.

425
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:02.119
<v Speaker 3>Right, New York was pretty bad about it.

426
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:07.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And when it comes to, like I don't know,

427
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:09.079
<v Speaker 2>stand up comedy, I enjoy it, but like I don't

428
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:11.440
<v Speaker 2>really seek it out, but I what I now find

429
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:13.680
<v Speaker 2>to be by the way, I think I've never seen

430
00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:16.039
<v Speaker 2>him live. I'm not sure if I ever will, but

431
00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:18.920
<v Speaker 2>I I nobody would say this guy is not popular

432
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:22.000
<v Speaker 2>and that he's not like successful. So it's not like

433
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:23.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to try to make it out like

434
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:26.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm building him up as some unknown guy. But like,

435
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:28.960
<v Speaker 2>I think Mike Epps is the funniest comedian of my lifetime.

436
00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:30.200
<v Speaker 3>Mikes.

437
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:33.039
<v Speaker 2>I think Mike Epps is absolutely hilarious, and he had

438
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:37.440
<v Speaker 2>and he's kind of had the same style throughout his existence,

439
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:39.440
<v Speaker 2>at least that I've known. And he's still funny, like

440
00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:42.720
<v Speaker 2>he's you know, he's he's great. But now I find

441
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:46.440
<v Speaker 2>myself really amused by things that aren't like, you know,

442
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:49.440
<v Speaker 2>laugh out loud funny because you never thought of it,

443
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:51.680
<v Speaker 2>but like things that are funny because you realize, Okay,

444
00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:52.519
<v Speaker 2>I can relate to this.

445
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:53.839
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know anybody else could.

446
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:55.440
<v Speaker 2>And there's this guy I'm trying to I'm digging on

447
00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:57.039
<v Speaker 2>my phone to try to find this guy's name because

448
00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:00.759
<v Speaker 2>he's he's getting some momentum, but he's not necessarily like

449
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:02.920
<v Speaker 2>I bet you wouldn't know his name, okay if I

450
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:04.720
<v Speaker 2>can find it, And I bet if I showed you

451
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:08.480
<v Speaker 2>a picture of him, he probably you probably wouldn't recognize him.

452
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:12.079
<v Speaker 2>But he you know, this was a bit he did

453
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:16.759
<v Speaker 2>that I'm embarrassed to say. But like my era, for reasons,

454
00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:19.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, like this is a this is spot on.

455
00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:22.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why we did this when we were young.

456
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:26.799
<v Speaker 2>It was really stupid, but I've forgotten all about this

457
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:30.440
<v Speaker 2>weird thing that you know, teenagers around my age did

458
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:32.960
<v Speaker 2>when we were young, and you know, it was really

459
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:36.240
<v Speaker 2>really stupid and bad. But he told a story about it,

460
00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:39.640
<v Speaker 2>and I know there's so many that can relate and

461
00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:41.720
<v Speaker 2>you may not want to acknowledge it, but this is

462
00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:44.759
<v Speaker 2>this is this is him from a stand up show

463
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:47.039
<v Speaker 2>he did at I think the improv in New York

464
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:49.079
<v Speaker 2>not that long ago.

465
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:51.440
<v Speaker 5>I do think that nineties kids came up with the

466
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:55.039
<v Speaker 5>wildest game ever. I remember it well. It was like

467
00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:57.559
<v Speaker 5>nineteen ninety nine. I was in the fifth or sixth grade,

468
00:22:58.160 --> 00:22:59.960
<v Speaker 5>sitting there talking to a girl I had a crush on,

469
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:01.640
<v Speaker 5>Seanna Taylor.

470
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:03.240
<v Speaker 3>I had a four wheeler because I knew didn't move

471
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:04.200
<v Speaker 3>things along.

472
00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:07.640
<v Speaker 5>And about that time my best friend came up and

473
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:09.200
<v Speaker 5>just yanked my pants to the grandma.

474
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:14.359
<v Speaker 3>Y'all, remember this. This game was lawless. It didn't make

475
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:15.079
<v Speaker 3>any sense.

476
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:18.200
<v Speaker 5>A bunch of middle schoolers going around and just yanking

477
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:20.880
<v Speaker 5>each other's pants stand and it went on.

478
00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:22.480
<v Speaker 3>It was a little curiosity in there.

479
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:24.200
<v Speaker 5>I think in hindsight some of us said hate to

480
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:27.599
<v Speaker 5>admit that it didn't make any sense. You'd just be hanging.

481
00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Out with your buddy and he'd be like, let's take

482
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:31.680
<v Speaker 3>a look at that. You know, isn't that wild? And

483
00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:33.480
<v Speaker 3>they tried to like deflect it.

484
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:35.720
<v Speaker 5>You know, I can remember well you'd be standing there,

485
00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:38.279
<v Speaker 5>they'd pull your pants down and go you're gay and

486
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:38.799
<v Speaker 5>take off.

487
00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:40.680
<v Speaker 3>You're like, how am I gay?

488
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:42.200
<v Speaker 1>You just pulled my pants?

489
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:46.799
<v Speaker 3>No, that's not that happened so fast. You know, I

490
00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:48.079
<v Speaker 3>hadn't thought of that in forever.

491
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:50.680
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sure there's many. I'm sure that many are thinking,

492
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:53.720
<v Speaker 2>what are you talking about? That wasn't a thing. I'm

493
00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:54.880
<v Speaker 2>telling you. It was a thing.

494
00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:58.000
<v Speaker 3>For a brief time. People would. But you have you

495
00:23:58.079 --> 00:23:59.759
<v Speaker 3>ever heard it? Like you yeah, like just.

496
00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:03.319
<v Speaker 2>Get pants and like now, I mean and I'm not

497
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:04.720
<v Speaker 2>even saying this would be the wrong thing.

498
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:08.240
<v Speaker 3>You get arrested for that, like absolutely, but.

499
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:10.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean yeah, we had one of my one of

500
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:14.640
<v Speaker 2>my close friends, his name is Patrick. He was like

501
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:18.680
<v Speaker 2>he would sneak up and get you at like the

502
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:22.519
<v Speaker 2>worst possible time, and he, you know, depending on what

503
00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:25.279
<v Speaker 2>you were wearing, it was everything, like you know, if

504
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:28.359
<v Speaker 2>you were you were sweatpants to school or you wearing

505
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:29.400
<v Speaker 2>basketball shorts.

506
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:30.240
<v Speaker 3>Nice.

507
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:33.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I mean one of my close friends, we're

508
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:36.359
<v Speaker 2>all friends, and you know, just just to get a laugh.

509
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:38.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean he was talking to three different girls in

510
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:41.400
<v Speaker 2>the hallway in between in between one of the one

511
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.440
<v Speaker 2>of the classes and you know, uh, he just walked

512
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:48.920
<v Speaker 2>up and yanked him all the way down, and I mean,

513
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:53.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean just completely exposed, and like everybody got a

514
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:55.400
<v Speaker 2>laugh out of it. And now that I'm much older,

515
00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:57.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, why were we so stupid?

516
00:24:57.559 --> 00:24:58.440
<v Speaker 3>That was insane?

517
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:01.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and again I'm sure that's not a thing now,

518
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:04.079
<v Speaker 2>and again it shouldn't be. And I'm not joking like

519
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:06.799
<v Speaker 2>you do that now, Like you know, there's probably legitimate

520
00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:09.519
<v Speaker 2>consequences and nobody would be like, oh, it's kids being kids,

521
00:25:09.559 --> 00:25:12.839
<v Speaker 2>Like no, that's traumatizing and it's you know, got to

522
00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:16.279
<v Speaker 2>be in some way legal. But he had another bit

523
00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:18.119
<v Speaker 2>that was just kind of you know this, I can't

524
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:20.000
<v Speaker 2>even claim that this was laugh out loud funny, but

525
00:25:20.039 --> 00:25:21.640
<v Speaker 2>like I'd never thought of it, and it's really true.

526
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:26.119
<v Speaker 2>He was discussing how kids these days will never know

527
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:28.839
<v Speaker 2>the fear and you may not even know this either,

528
00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:31.599
<v Speaker 2>but you'll never know the fear when you would call

529
00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:34.480
<v Speaker 2>a girl from school that you were interested in, or

530
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:37.599
<v Speaker 2>maybe she was your girlfriend in sixth or seventh grade

531
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:40.599
<v Speaker 2>and you had to call the house phone and you

532
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:43.359
<v Speaker 2>knew the dad was going to answer, oh yeah, and

533
00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:45.519
<v Speaker 2>there would be that fear you'd get that lump in

534
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:48.599
<v Speaker 2>your throat, like what if he says no, you know?

535
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:50.680
<v Speaker 2>And and the way you know again, the way he

536
00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:52.720
<v Speaker 2>laid it out was like a scenario that I can't

537
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:55.920
<v Speaker 2>claim happened to me. But like I know, at least

538
00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:58.200
<v Speaker 2>some of the girls I called in middle school, like

539
00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:01.160
<v Speaker 2>their dad would would know how nervous I was and

540
00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:03.519
<v Speaker 2>have fun with it, right, Like, but he was talking

541
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:05.880
<v Speaker 2>about how, uh, yeah, she's here, I'm going to help

542
00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:08.160
<v Speaker 2>you with something. It's like, yeah, I wanted to I

543
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:13.440
<v Speaker 2>wanted to ask her about our geometry, uh class, seems

544
00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:16.000
<v Speaker 2>she can help mem geometry, and and and again this

545
00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:18.680
<v Speaker 2>is the stand up, the bit he said, well, turns out, buddy,

546
00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:19.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm great at geometry.

547
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:20.599
<v Speaker 3>What do you want to what do you? What do you?

548
00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:21.359
<v Speaker 3>What do you? What do you need?

549
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:24.440
<v Speaker 2>I can help you out? But like you know, like playfully,

550
00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:28.039
<v Speaker 2>dad's having fun with a young kid who knows that

551
00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:30.720
<v Speaker 2>like he's calling a girl. You know, it's gonna be

552
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:32.640
<v Speaker 2>nerve wracking to talk to the mom or the dad.

553
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:34.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I remember when we were like fifth or

554
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:37.200
<v Speaker 2>sixth grade. You know this time there were no cell phones,

555
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:39.440
<v Speaker 2>at least not for kids, and you know we'd call

556
00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:42.359
<v Speaker 2>the house, and like if if the parents, if the

557
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:43.960
<v Speaker 2>parents answer, we just hang up.

558
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:48.559
<v Speaker 3>Very scared to death to today this is such and

559
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:49.079
<v Speaker 3>such home.

560
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:52.799
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, anyways that the older I get, the more

561
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:56.400
<v Speaker 2>I find I find humor in things that are really

562
00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:59.720
<v Speaker 2>not you know, just downright comedic brilliance. But just like

563
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:01.240
<v Speaker 2>I guess in a way, a lot of it is

564
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:03.119
<v Speaker 2>like there's things that I can't relate to, but I

565
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:05.200
<v Speaker 2>can still find the humor and find it hilarious when

566
00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:09.240
<v Speaker 2>it comes to certain things. And I also think there's

567
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:11.000
<v Speaker 2>a there's a part there's an element of stand up

568
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:16.960
<v Speaker 2>comedy that like there's self deprecation with different cultures and

569
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:21.720
<v Speaker 2>different you know, different races to where like you know,

570
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:23.960
<v Speaker 2>just almost like we don't take ourselves too serious. And

571
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:26.200
<v Speaker 2>there's certain comedians obviously that that have you know, have

572
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:28.240
<v Speaker 2>been held accountable for maybe crossing the line. And for

573
00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:30.799
<v Speaker 2>a while the line was like adjusted to where you

574
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:32.960
<v Speaker 2>couldn't even try to be funny without offending someone, which

575
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:34.839
<v Speaker 2>I do feel like that's kind of gone away, but

576
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:37.519
<v Speaker 2>like you know, Kat Williams and all of them have

577
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:39.160
<v Speaker 2>done it to an extent. But like Cat Williams, one

578
00:27:39.160 --> 00:27:41.359
<v Speaker 2>of one of his one of his stand ups that

579
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:43.319
<v Speaker 2>really I think kind of elevated him to being a

580
00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:45.240
<v Speaker 2>bigger name in the in the mid to late two

581
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:49.640
<v Speaker 2>thousands where he's talking about you know, all different cultures

582
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:51.759
<v Speaker 2>and whatnot, and and and finding a way to like

583
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:55.039
<v Speaker 2>playfully you know, like even if it's even if it's

584
00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:57.759
<v Speaker 2>a joke at the expense of maybe your culture or whatnot,

585
00:27:57.799 --> 00:27:59.559
<v Speaker 2>like you still have to laugh because you know there's

586
00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:02.839
<v Speaker 2>an other there's elements of it that's true. So yeah,

587
00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I h I think Kat Williams is the correct I

588
00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:07.000
<v Speaker 2>never I never seek it out, but the more I

589
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:09.039
<v Speaker 2>think about it, and as we're talking about it, like

590
00:28:09.079 --> 00:28:11.319
<v Speaker 2>I you know, who didn't like to laugh, you know

591
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:13.960
<v Speaker 2>what I mean? And oftentimes it meand be hard to

592
00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:16.000
<v Speaker 2>go to really any stand up that you know, you're

593
00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:18.200
<v Speaker 2>paying a ticket. You're paying for a ticket to go

594
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:20.640
<v Speaker 2>see somebody in like an actual venue like a theater

595
00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:23.319
<v Speaker 2>or whatnot, like the Palace, which is where Kevin Harbor

596
00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:25.119
<v Speaker 2>was supposed to be, like you're gonna get you know,

597
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:26.799
<v Speaker 2>may not be worth the price of admission because those

598
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:30.279
<v Speaker 2>tickets are really expensive. In fact, we were looking at

599
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:32.599
<v Speaker 2>going into seeing Kevin Hart at the Palace, but we

600
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:36.119
<v Speaker 2>decided not to because I mean, tickets were just crazy,

601
00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:37.839
<v Speaker 2>and I guess that's just what it is for a

602
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:40.559
<v Speaker 2>stand up show. But you know, laughing is healthy. It's

603
00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:42.640
<v Speaker 2>got to be laughed to, not cry.

604
00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:42.799
<v Speaker 5>Right.

605
00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:44.319
<v Speaker 2>That's all right, all right, quick break, We'll come back

606
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:45.519
<v Speaker 2>and wrap it up here on the other side, keep

607
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:46.880
<v Speaker 2>it locked on Sports Talk seven ninety.

608
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:50.799
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

609
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

610
00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:02.680
<v Speaker 2>We were wrapping up a Thursday edition of Coffee and Company.

611
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:05.519
<v Speaker 2>Been a fun show so far. I don't forget.

612
00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:08.279
<v Speaker 3>Podcast is always available after.

613
00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:10.960
<v Speaker 2>The show if you ever miss anything, and however you're

614
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:14.240
<v Speaker 2>listening wherever you're listening, just know that we do we.

615
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:15.000
<v Speaker 3>Do appreciate it.

616
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:18.759
<v Speaker 2>So I mentioned this earlier that the ACC currently has

617
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:21.079
<v Speaker 2>no plans to add a ninth League game. That is

618
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:26.240
<v Speaker 2>according to Brett McMurphy. And I can't really say that

619
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:30.960
<v Speaker 2>that's that's a that's an issue, but I do think if.

620
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:33.720
<v Speaker 3>You see that every other like if the SEC goes.

621
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.319
<v Speaker 2>To nine, I would I would hope that the ACC

622
00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:43.039
<v Speaker 2>would have some level of maybe I don't know if

623
00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:44.720
<v Speaker 2>it's an acquirement or how you would even be able

624
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:48.680
<v Speaker 2>to do that but there should be something similar to

625
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:51.480
<v Speaker 2>what happened with basketball where they eliminated two conference games

626
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:54.119
<v Speaker 2>from the schedule. And it's not because you know, they

627
00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:57.279
<v Speaker 2>they don't mean they're doing it because they realize they

628
00:29:57.319 --> 00:30:00.880
<v Speaker 2>need more teams to do stuff out side the conference

629
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:03.200
<v Speaker 2>to improve your resume for a selection Sunday because twenty

630
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:05.839
<v Speaker 2>league games, you know, in the last few years, more

631
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:08.519
<v Speaker 2>often than not, your league games are not giving you

632
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:11.960
<v Speaker 2>any opportunity to win games that will boost your resume

633
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:16.240
<v Speaker 2>just because of where where the league is. So I

634
00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:19.079
<v Speaker 2>would say, you know, if you're the Big twelve, there

635
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:21.480
<v Speaker 2>should be some kind of a partnership to where I

636
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:22.880
<v Speaker 2>don't know how you would do it, because obviously there's

637
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:24.200
<v Speaker 2>not as many teams in the Big twelve as there

638
00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:26.119
<v Speaker 2>is the ACC. But also they already are playing that

639
00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:27.880
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize the Big Twelve went to nine. So

640
00:30:28.160 --> 00:30:29.720
<v Speaker 2>the Big Ten and the Big twelve are at nine,

641
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:32.000
<v Speaker 2>and the ACC is not going to nine, and the

642
00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:34.960
<v Speaker 2>SEC it's it seems like they're they're getting closer to

643
00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:39.720
<v Speaker 2>going to nine games. So those those conferences wouldn't would

644
00:30:39.720 --> 00:30:43.440
<v Speaker 2>not probably be looking to do any kind of a

645
00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:47.400
<v Speaker 2>partnership because they're going to you know, maybe maybe just maybe,

646
00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:51.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, in fact, the ACC, maybe they'd go to

647
00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:52.920
<v Speaker 2>nine and you know, I guess we never mind, they're

648
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:54.200
<v Speaker 2>not going on. But like, I just feel like there

649
00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:56.880
<v Speaker 2>should be some kind of a requirement for you to

650
00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:00.599
<v Speaker 2>go out of conference and play somebody worth of damn.

651
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:05.799
<v Speaker 2>That way, if there is doubt from the committee that

652
00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:09.240
<v Speaker 2>your impressive league record in the ACC isn't worthy, then

653
00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:12.680
<v Speaker 2>they can point to a non conference opportunity and that

654
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:15.119
<v Speaker 2>can you know, that can help give you the benefit

655
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:16.559
<v Speaker 2>of the doubt that you didn't just beat up on

656
00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:18.599
<v Speaker 2>a bad league, you beat up in a bad league,

657
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:21.480
<v Speaker 2>but also have you know, a non conference win that

658
00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:22.160
<v Speaker 2>has at least a.

659
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Little bit of value.

660
00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:26.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm gonna look at the so Louisville every

661
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:31.200
<v Speaker 2>year plays an SEC team because of the Kentucky rivalry,

662
00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:35.440
<v Speaker 2>and I feel like more often than not, there are

663
00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:39.519
<v Speaker 2>other teams that like, for example, let's just go to

664
00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:43.599
<v Speaker 2>like NC State, They've got they've got every year on

665
00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:48.559
<v Speaker 2>their schedule because their rival is in conference. So yeah,

666
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:50.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean they play Notre Dame and then Notre Dame

667
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:53.160
<v Speaker 2>game is always a boost for your for your strength

668
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:55.119
<v Speaker 2>to schedule. But not everybody gets Notre Dame every year.

669
00:31:55.720 --> 00:32:00.200
<v Speaker 2>So outside of the ACC, teams in Notre Dame, NC

670
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:05.160
<v Speaker 2>State's playing East Carolina Campbell, and.

671
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:08.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't know who else.

672
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:12.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, oh yeah, they're doing that weird thing where

673
00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:16.319
<v Speaker 2>I think n C State in maybe Wake are playing

674
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:21.200
<v Speaker 2>each other like they even when the league doesn't schedule

675
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:23.359
<v Speaker 2>them against each other, they still play and it doesn't

676
00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:27.319
<v Speaker 2>count towards conference. It's really stupid. But yeah, I can't

677
00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:29.559
<v Speaker 2>say that going to nine games would help the ACC.

678
00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:33.119
<v Speaker 2>But to be fair, if you continue to schedule the

679
00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:35.079
<v Speaker 2>way that you do when you play nine league games,

680
00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:39.400
<v Speaker 2>even if the ACC's down, beating a Boston College or

681
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:41.960
<v Speaker 2>a Syracuse or somebody like that, or a Wake Forest,

682
00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:45.920
<v Speaker 2>it'd probably give you more more value than beating Elon

683
00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:49.720
<v Speaker 2>or East Carolina or Kinnesas State, but probably not enough

684
00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:51.279
<v Speaker 2>to where the committee would be like, Okay, yeah, that's

685
00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:53.119
<v Speaker 2>a real resume win for them.

686
00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:56.359
<v Speaker 3>All Right, we're out of time, we're out of here.

687
00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Enjoy your evening. We're back at it tomorrow right here.
