Speaker 1: It's time for coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2: Holy crap, I don't know who the hell we think
Speaker 2: when we.
Speaker 1: Are getting off our show.
Speaker 3: Idiot the kids for crying or trail of cry, or
Speaker 3: concord for scrowing it up? Gold Play Intermurals, Brother, gold
Speaker 3: Play Inner Murals. They're supposed to be with your adults,
Speaker 3: but they're really not.
Speaker 1: Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here? Are you
Speaker 1: kidding me? Now? Here's Nick Coffee.
Speaker 2: I don't know a lot of things, but I do know.
Speaker 2: In fact, I guess I don't know for sure, but
Speaker 2: I feel confident that the millions of you that are
Speaker 2: listening right now did not tune in as we can.
Speaker 2: The show started to hear updates on the first day
Speaker 2: back to school here for those parents, teachers, students in
Speaker 2: Jefferson County. But you know, I think even if you're
Speaker 2: someone that does not have kids in the school system,
Speaker 2: you don't even have like nephews or grandparents or grand
Speaker 2: grandkids or nieces or anything like that, you don't work
Speaker 2: in the school system. Given how big of a nightmare
Speaker 2: last year was it becoming a national story, you gotta
Speaker 2: be at least a little curious to see how it's going, right,
Speaker 2: I mean I have been and it hit me like,
Speaker 2: you know, two o'clock, Like wait a second, like I haven't.
Speaker 2: I've been active on social media today, I mean, not
Speaker 2: posting anything, but just you know, checking out what's going on.
Speaker 2: That's usually sort of how I get ready for the show,
Speaker 2: figure out what people are talking about, things we can discuss. Right,
Speaker 2: and I haven't heard a whole lot, which I assume
Speaker 2: means that it's going well, That's what I assume we'll see,
Speaker 2: though maybe I'm wrong. All Right, welcome in. It is
Speaker 2: coffee and company. Feel about Thornton's here on Sports Talk
Speaker 2: seven ninety. Thanks for hanging out with us, and we're
Speaker 2: gonna be here for the next three hours. So hang out,
Speaker 2: make yourself at home, and if you have to, you know,
Speaker 2: do other things. Just know that you can take us
Speaker 2: with you. You can listen live on the Aheart Radio ab
Speaker 2: listen live at seven ninety Louisville dot com. And we're
Speaker 2: gonna be loaded for the next three hours. So again,
Speaker 2: as I mentioned, you should stick around all right, real
Speaker 2: quick on the JCPS stuff. I mean, John, you know
Speaker 2: you don't keep up with, you know, the internet, if
Speaker 2: you have a life more so than I do, where
Speaker 2: you're probably not you know, checking Twitter as much as
Speaker 2: I am, or checking what's going on on the World
Speaker 2: Wide Web as much, just because again you have you know,
Speaker 2: hobbies and a life. But I mean, you feel like
Speaker 2: it's been pretty quiet, Like I haven't heard of any
Speaker 2: nightmare stories yet about kids getting left somewhere, dropped off
Speaker 2: at the wrong school or anything like that.
Speaker 3: And I know, usually I feel like most of the
Speaker 3: drama from all of this starts in the after school
Speaker 3: hours whenever they're dropping kids off and you hear about
Speaker 3: people not getting home until ten o'clock.
Speaker 2: A good point, that type of stuff. It's a good point.
Speaker 2: So I want to give a tip of the cap
Speaker 2: to our partners over there at WLKY because they just
Speaker 2: posted this within the last twenty minutes or so at
Speaker 2: their website wlky dot com and it just says updates
Speaker 2: how the first day of school is going for JCPS,
Speaker 2: And they went on to mention some things that I
Speaker 2: wasn't aware of as far as changes. They cut bussing
Speaker 2: for most of the Magnet and traditional schools, meaning there's
Speaker 2: a lot more car riders, because if you go to
Speaker 2: those schools, you need to I guess, you know, depending
Speaker 2: on where you live, there's no way for you to
Speaker 2: get there without somebody bringing you because you can't you
Speaker 2: can't get on a bus, at least not you know,
Speaker 2: a JCPS bus. So that was a known thing, and
Speaker 2: I guess that could make it to where it's going
Speaker 2: to be a little more. I mean, you just tr't
Speaker 2: to worry. You're not relying as much on buses. You're
Speaker 2: relying on people to bring the kids to school. So
Speaker 2: the only thing I can tell is that there has
Speaker 2: been a lot of traffic because of more I guess
Speaker 2: car riders. And it's never going to be a perfect
Speaker 2: day when you start school for the first time. But
Speaker 2: as far as getting kids to school, it seems as
Speaker 2: if if they are in a much better situation than
Speaker 2: they were a year ago. Whenever they brought kids back
Speaker 2: to school last school year, and some kids didn't get
Speaker 2: home until after ten pm, and then they pulled the
Speaker 2: plug and said, Okay, we're going to cancel the next
Speaker 2: two days of school and come back next week and
Speaker 2: try to start all over. And it became a national story,
Speaker 2: so you know, it seems like so far they're not
Speaker 2: even close to the Mets they had a year ago,
Speaker 2: and maybe they end up having a pretty smooth day.
Speaker 2: I want to WKY is great for doing this on Facebook,
Speaker 2: by the way, every new station should do it, and
Speaker 2: maybe they have. But earlier this afternoon on the WLKY
Speaker 2: News Facebook page, they just said JCPS parents, how is
Speaker 2: this summer or how is this morning going so far?
Speaker 2: Which you got to think, like, if people are looking
Speaker 2: to go complain about something, where are they going? They're
Speaker 2: going to Facebook? Especially parents, older people, right, And I
Speaker 2: must when I say older people like I mean people
Speaker 2: my age too. So I when I saw that they
Speaker 2: have this embedded post, I clicked on and it opened
Speaker 2: up in Facebook and my web browser, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: oh man, this is going to be nothing but parents
Speaker 2: just losing their minds complaining, And it really isn't. I
Speaker 2: think people had expectations probably so low because of what
Speaker 2: happened a year ago, and yet a lot of the
Speaker 2: comments I'm seeing are are not only some positive, but
Speaker 2: the complaints are more so just about traffic flow, which
Speaker 2: really isn't mean. I guess you could say that's somewhat
Speaker 2: the responsibility of the school JCPS, But I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, if I mean, let's be real, I think
Speaker 2: if in fact there are certain schools where there's way
Speaker 2: more car writers than there used to be, there's just
Speaker 2: going to be more traffic. There's no way. There's no
Speaker 2: way around that. So thumbs up. I don't want to
Speaker 2: speak too soon, because you know, John made a good point.
Speaker 2: It really didn't get out of hand until they started
Speaker 2: to try to take the kids home and they didn't.
Speaker 2: You know, things didn't go well. Kids didn't get home
Speaker 2: till you know, well after ten o'clock. Some kids ended
Speaker 2: up like ten miles from where they were supposed to be,
Speaker 2: kids ended up getting off at the wrong bus stop,
Speaker 2: not knowing where they are. I mean, it was it
Speaker 2: was an I mean, it was really about as big
Speaker 2: of a disaster as JCPS has probably ever had an
Speaker 2: its existence. I'm not you know, I've not been around
Speaker 2: long enough to really know about the history of the
Speaker 2: disasters that they've had. But I mean, that was a
Speaker 2: national news story. So apparently school begins to let out
Speaker 2: at two ten pms, so that was roughly an hour ago,
Speaker 2: and the latest dismissal at JCPS is four twenty pm.
Speaker 2: So I kind of feel like we're gonna be in
Speaker 2: this three hour window here that we have, Like I'm
Speaker 2: gonna be monitoring this just to kind of keep up with,
Speaker 2: you know, what's going on, and I'm not rooting for
Speaker 2: a disaster. I mean, I'm hoping it's smooth. And you know,
Speaker 2: somebody on the text line made a good point. I
Speaker 2: mean they were kind of nasty about it, but they
Speaker 2: also made me realize that, you know, I should be
Speaker 2: a little bit more mindful in how I discussed these
Speaker 2: things because I don't feel as if I'm making fun
Speaker 2: of them. I mean, I don't think I'm doing that
Speaker 2: at all, but like last year, I mean, I'm just
Speaker 2: sharing facts about the story and just the big mess
Speaker 2: that it was. But a woman texted in and said that,
Speaker 2: you know, I was really really making her anxiety and
Speaker 2: stress worse by talking about it, and I'm thinking, well,
Speaker 2: I mean, what do you want me? I mean, like
Speaker 2: it's it's quite clear like any news station, any any
Speaker 2: anything you turn on locally here, like news. I guarantee
Speaker 2: it's been a huge topic this week on HAS our
Speaker 2: sister station here. I know it's been a huge topic
Speaker 2: on every news station in town just coverage up back
Speaker 2: to school. It always is, but when they bring it
Speaker 2: up this time of year or this this go around,
Speaker 2: I should say, they're going to reference last year's mess.
Speaker 2: So like it's not as if I'm going out of
Speaker 2: my way to do it, it's it's probably unavoidable for you.
Speaker 2: But maybe you come to this show not to hear
Speaker 2: about it, because again, as I started, as I started
Speaker 2: the show today, I doubt that's what anybody would be
Speaker 2: here for us to hear about JCPS and how they're
Speaker 2: getting kids back to school. However, you know, like you're right,
Speaker 2: I bet it was a very stressful situation for parents
Speaker 2: in a scary situation, especially those that were impacted by
Speaker 2: it last year, and they have to put the trust
Speaker 2: in JCPS again to get their kid to school and
Speaker 2: bring them home. So, you know, it made me appreciate
Speaker 2: the fact that I don't, you know, at this point
Speaker 2: in my life as a parent. You know, my daughter
Speaker 2: she special needs, and I don't know if she'll ever
Speaker 2: be a bus rider. And my son will see you know,
Speaker 2: he's got another year before he starts kindergarten. Maybe he'll
Speaker 2: be a bus rider. But you know, my kids go
Speaker 2: to a different school district, which doesn't mean that they
Speaker 2: can't have issues as well. But yes, if I I
Speaker 2: mean as much as a parent, like I'm a worrier.
Speaker 2: That's that's my one of my biggest flaws as a
Speaker 2: human being. Like if my kid didn't get off the
Speaker 2: bus and I called the school and they didn't know what,
Speaker 2: like where, Well, hey, call back the call this one
Speaker 2: a hundred number. They may know where your kid, we don't.
Speaker 2: They may know where your kid is, but we don't.
Speaker 2: Like and I'm sure that wasn't exactly the exchange, but yeah,
Speaker 2: like I mean that helpless feeling. I don't know what
Speaker 2: I would do if I didn't know where my kid was.
Speaker 2: So anyways, so far, so good, it seems for JCPS,
Speaker 2: and we'll see if if that's the case the rest
Speaker 2: of the way here.
Speaker 3: I'm sure rush hour will look a little different this afternoon,
Speaker 3: hopefully hopefully from the school side of things, everything goes
Speaker 3: smooth and people are safe on the roads. But I
Speaker 3: bet the roads will look a little different today and
Speaker 3: probably going forward.
Speaker 2: I'm proud of parents for the positivity I'm seeing on
Speaker 2: this Facebook post, because usually I begain. I was just
Speaker 2: expecting it to be absolute just nothing but people talking
Speaker 2: about how terrible j CPS is and Marty Polio and
Speaker 2: just you know, and really most of the people that
Speaker 2: are complaining is just about traffic. And I did actually
Speaker 2: see one of the new stations did cover this in
Speaker 2: their coverage of back to School Today, and that was
Speaker 2: the fact that because there's a lot of these high
Speaker 2: schools and even middle schools I suppose that are actually
Speaker 2: in residential areas. Like that's one of the things about
Speaker 2: j CPS. There's like there's certain schools. I mean, one
Speaker 2: that I can think of off top of my head is
Speaker 2: like Jeffersontown High School like that that's like to me,
Speaker 2: that's like if I've been in a long time, but
Speaker 2: I feel like it's in a residential neighborhood and if
Speaker 2: you've got like way more kid And I'm not saying
Speaker 2: that's that's one of those schools where you have a
Speaker 2: lot more car riders. But apparently people like trying to
Speaker 2: leave for work could not back out of their driveway
Speaker 2: to leave because of all the traffic from from you know,
Speaker 2: kids waiting to get it dropped off at school, which
Speaker 2: again that would be that would be real pain in
Speaker 2: the ass, no doubt about that. But like, I'm not
Speaker 2: really sure who the direct Like, whose fault is that? Right, Like,
Speaker 2: I mean, who do you like? Is it the school's fault?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 2: I mean, is it the school district's fault? Like, you know,
Speaker 2: they're they're trying to get kids to school as quickly
Speaker 2: as they can and as effectively as they can. And
Speaker 2: if that leads to people having to maybe make adjustments
Speaker 2: that live near the school, you're probably just gonna have
Speaker 2: to make adjustments, I would assume. But anyways, we'll start
Speaker 2: off with some good news for Louisville fans, and that
Speaker 2: is that Louisville Alive is coming back. I didn't expect
Speaker 2: it to just disappear, but we did not have it
Speaker 2: this past year, and you know, I was pretty I
Speaker 2: still stand by what I said. I was critical of
Speaker 2: the decision of them to just not have Louisville Live
Speaker 2: and to then blame it on money and like cost
Speaker 2: because I felt like, you know, that's a fan event
Speaker 2: like that and that, and there's no scenario Louisville loses.
Speaker 2: Like I think we all knew this past basketball season
Speaker 2: that was the last year of the Kenny Payne Era
Speaker 2: was not going to be super successful, but like, that's
Speaker 2: the kind of event you could go to and kind
Speaker 2: of distract yourself from it, right like, because there's no
Speaker 2: you can't lose, right you have to worry about Kentucky
Speaker 2: Wesley and or Leanne Rhyme's going out there and beating
Speaker 2: you in an exhibition game. You can just watch these
Speaker 2: guys dunk and you know, drink beer with fans. If
Speaker 2: it was going to be at Slugger or at Churchill
Speaker 2: or here at four Street Live right like it really
Speaker 2: I thought was a bad look because your your cost
Speaker 2: cutting measure is an event that fans specifically, like, that's
Speaker 2: what that's catered for as fans. So you know, I
Speaker 2: won't complain and act like well I would have been there.
Speaker 2: Would have been great, because you know, everything about the
Speaker 2: last two years really sucked, if we're being honest. So
Speaker 2: I'm glad they are bringing it back. I'm a little
Speaker 2: curious as the decision as to where they're having it
Speaker 2: instead of having it at one of the I mean
Speaker 2: that's what made it cool. And I'm a little biased
Speaker 2: because we're right here broadcasting live and it would be
Speaker 2: amazing if they did it right here, you know, right
Speaker 2: in front of us where we'd be doing the show
Speaker 2: right there in front of it. But for Shoot Live
Speaker 2: was awesome, and then I thought Churchill Downs was even better.
Speaker 2: And then at Slugger I did not attend that one,
Speaker 2: and it sounds like that one did not go well
Speaker 2: as far as the amount of money that like went
Speaker 2: into it, and it just didn't you know, there was
Speaker 2: not a lot of return on that investment. Because again,
Speaker 2: that's an event for fans to get people excited, to
Speaker 2: get enthusiasm up, to host recruits and potentially really show
Speaker 2: off the program and get them excited about potentially committing
Speaker 2: and like nothing, you know, and that's really not anybody
Speaker 2: at u of L's fault as far as like marketing
Speaker 2: pr events. That's you know, the basketball program was in
Speaker 2: a really really tough spot. So they're doing it at
Speaker 2: the UMP Center this year, which I have no problem with.
Speaker 2: I just kind of I just assumed that, like in
Speaker 2: its existence, it's always been in different places within Louisville
Speaker 2: that I thought made it super cool.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: And for Street again, even if we didn't broadcast here
Speaker 2: every day at our four Street Live studios, I would
Speaker 2: still say that it gives it the coolest look because
Speaker 2: of the setup. You put the court down there right
Speaker 2: in the middle of sports and social you have it
Speaker 2: kind of barricaded, and then you have, of course the
Speaker 2: upper level. Like you could have a pretty light crowd
Speaker 2: as far as just numbers, but you could make this
Speaker 2: place look like everybody in downtown Louisville is dying to
Speaker 2: get in, and the streets are just like packed with
Speaker 2: people that are trying to make their way to four
Speaker 2: Street Live because you know, it's Louisville Live. So I'm
Speaker 2: sure there's plenty of reasons as to why they're doing
Speaker 2: it at the YOUM Center, and one I would assume
Speaker 2: is because they probably don't need to pay to use
Speaker 2: the event to the event venue. It's it's you know,
Speaker 2: it's THEIRS. I mean it's not technically THEIRS, but you
Speaker 2: know it is. So I'm excited, and uh, who knows
Speaker 2: what to expect, you know, Pat Kelsey, I'm sure will
Speaker 2: use this event to be a big weekend to host recruits.
Speaker 2: You know it's gonna be on Friday, October the fourth.
Speaker 2: Let me double check. I should have done this before
Speaker 2: the uh for the show started today. But yeah, so Friday,
Speaker 2: October the fourth. Louisville football will play at home against
Speaker 2: SMU that next day, So maybe that should be the
Speaker 2: weekend we circle as a big time recruiting weekend for
Speaker 2: Pat Kelsey and his staff because they'll be able to
Speaker 2: show off a lot of things about their program at
Speaker 2: Louisville Live in the next day. You know, you take
Speaker 2: you take the recruits to a football game, and we
Speaker 2: all know that's a huge, huge part of recruiting when
Speaker 2: these guys take their official visits in the fall, which
Speaker 2: it is kind of weird, you know, you know they're
Speaker 2: not going to play football, but I guess more than anything,
Speaker 2: it does speak to like the atmosphere and the fans
Speaker 2: and whatnot. But you know, there's certain schools where like
Speaker 2: I can't think of an example, maybe you can think
Speaker 2: of one in the Big Ten. Actually I've got one.
Speaker 2: Like if you're if you're a Clemson basketball recruit and
Speaker 2: you go to Clemson for a football game, like, that's
Speaker 2: gonna be awesome because that atmosphere, by all accounts, is
Speaker 2: one of the best in college football. But like, are
Speaker 2: they gonna try to sell you that, Yeah, you get
Speaker 2: the same kind of atmosphere whenever we play basketball here too,
Speaker 2: And like you're gonna know, even as a kid being recruited,
Speaker 2: that's a lie. But either way, you know you've got.
Speaker 3: To and if you're Indiana's case and you go to
Speaker 3: a football game, true, this is way better, I promise
Speaker 3: when you come into the assembly hall.
Speaker 2: I was not even like trying to be nice there.
Speaker 2: I literally just blanked on who who could be the end?
Speaker 2: Is the best example? Are they not?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: In terms of the football atmosphere to what it should
Speaker 2: they have their own event like louloud They don't.
Speaker 3: It's called Who's Your Hysteria?
Speaker 2: And that's like that's a pretty big deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they usually the past couple of years they've
Speaker 3: done it on homecoming weekend.
Speaker 2: And I can I remember, you know, since before you
Speaker 2: were even you know, interested in recruiting. I'm sure I'm
Speaker 2: talking back in you know, guys who graduated in like
Speaker 2: twenty twelve. I remember there were always like they usually
Speaker 2: have a ton of visitors for that event. Indiana always
Speaker 2: brings in like a boatload of guys. In fact, I
Speaker 2: remember at times, you know Rick Ptino, he would he
Speaker 2: would never do a Louisville Live kind of an event.
Speaker 2: He would just do a handful of different Red White scrimmages,
Speaker 2: which I love being able to watch the guys play,
Speaker 2: you know, more than one time, you know, to get
Speaker 2: more familiar with your roster, that kind of stuff. But
Speaker 2: it was, in my opinion, it was really difficult to
Speaker 2: promote because to make it to where you had a
Speaker 2: big crowd, because maybe some people will come to all three,
Speaker 2: but like having one event that you know, is sort
Speaker 2: of the kickoff to get things started, and it's more
Speaker 2: of a it's really just a party than it is anything,
Speaker 2: kind of like a pep rally for fans. You know,
Speaker 2: Louisville would try to host recruits and you know they
Speaker 2: would lose them because they're going instead of the Louisville
Speaker 2: Red White Scrimmage, they're going to go to uh, They're
Speaker 2: gonna go to Big Blue Maddness or who's he Rhysteria.
Speaker 2: So I'm glad Louisville has this because it's important and
Speaker 2: it's been I mean since they've had it, and I
Speaker 2: know they took a year off, it's been it's been
Speaker 2: a super success. So again, tickets will go on sale.
Speaker 2: It looks like in September, students will be able to
Speaker 2: attend free, but you will have to purchase a ticket
Speaker 2: if you want to go. And yeah, October the fourth
Speaker 2: is the date, and it'll be of course not only
Speaker 2: an event for Pat Kelsey and his crew, but it's
Speaker 2: also an event for Jeff Walls in his team. So
Speaker 2: looking forward to looking forward to that all right. Again,
Speaker 2: as I mentioned, we are loaded the rest of the
Speaker 2: way here. We've got a guest going to join us
Speaker 2: coming up around four twenty. We will talk to Kent Spencer,
Speaker 2: whas eleven. We haven't chatted with Kent in quite some time.
Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, some of our regular guests,
Speaker 2: they kind of had a summer break, right because I'd
Speaker 2: ask him enough about the offseason. I'd ask him enough
Speaker 2: about you know, the rosters coming together for Pat Kelsey,
Speaker 2: Mark Pope and whatnot. But we'll catch up with Kent
Speaker 2: in the four o'clock hour and I want to get
Speaker 2: his thoughts on realistic expectations for the football programs around here.
Speaker 2: Also see if he has any any takeaways from the
Speaker 2: boys in the Bahamas last week. And Kent is always
Speaker 2: a great, great guest, and we're looking forward to bringing
Speaker 2: him back on I think it's been gosh, maybe a
Speaker 2: couple months since we've had Kenton, so again he'll join
Speaker 2: us in the four o'clock hour. Some other things we'll
Speaker 2: get into today. There's more takeaways from Louisville football practices.
Speaker 2: You know, these are open to fans. They did let
Speaker 2: some of the local which I guess fans aren't necessarily
Speaker 2: allowed to go in and like just film the whole practice.
Speaker 2: That is open to fans, but they do allow those
Speaker 2: that work here for the local news stations to get
Speaker 2: some footage and stuff for their newscasts. And Tyler Griever
Speaker 2: had some clips and it's just you know, a few
Speaker 2: clips here and there, but he shared some takeaways from
Speaker 2: one of the most recent practices and some good, good updates.
Speaker 2: Let's put it that way, right, There's some guys that
Speaker 2: in the transfer portal. I think where they initially got
Speaker 2: here there was a little bit of an adjustment, maybe
Speaker 2: not because they were stepping up a level from where
Speaker 2: they transferred from, but just you know, a new maybe
Speaker 2: that's part of it, but also just getting acclimated. Right,
Speaker 2: if you've been playing for the same program, same system
Speaker 2: for the last four years, three years, whatever it may be,
Speaker 2: there's going to be an adjustment process. So there's some
Speaker 2: guys that I think in the spring maybe you felt
Speaker 2: a little underwhelmed by because of just you know, they
Speaker 2: didn't seem to get a lot of buzz despite being
Speaker 2: a big name in the portal that you felt like
Speaker 2: was going to be a big addition. Well, now it
Speaker 2: sounds like some of those guys are really starting to
Speaker 2: come on and practice, which which is certainly good. So again, also,
Speaker 2: we'll let you guys be a part of the show today.
Speaker 2: Five oh two five seven seventy nine hundred is the
Speaker 2: number if you want to give us a call. We'll
Speaker 2: open up the phone lines a little bit later on.
Speaker 2: You can text in as well five O two sixty
Speaker 2: five three zero seven ninety on the L and N
Speaker 2: Federal Credit Union text line. When it comes to Nolan Smith,
Speaker 2: I don't want to act as if like we're gonna
Speaker 2: spend a ton of time talking about that today, but
Speaker 2: it sounds like there are reports out there that he
Speaker 2: is about to be hired at Memphis, and uh, I'm
Speaker 2: not going to use this as a chance to like
Speaker 2: remind everybody about how things allegedly went down at the
Speaker 2: end with Nolan Smith and whatnot. But I'm rooting for
Speaker 2: that guy in all honesty, and I just you know,
Speaker 2: I'm getting little PTSD just kind of thinking about the
Speaker 2: previous regime, the previous coaching staff. But there is something
Speaker 2: I wanted to share sort of about that situation with
Speaker 2: him in Memphis. Also, Marvin Harrison Junior, one of the
Speaker 2: top rookies in the NFL. He'll be playing in his
Speaker 2: first preseason game, I think in the next couple of
Speaker 2: days maybe, and he'll be making history. But it's not
Speaker 2: for something you would ever expect, so we'll get into that. Also,
Speaker 2: it's already happening once again with the second Lebron James Son.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys have seen this, but
Speaker 2: you know, apparently his youngest Bryce. You know, he's not
Speaker 2: even close to, I guess, being the prospect that Browny
Speaker 2: allegedly was. And yet you're already seeing people starting to
Speaker 2: create this narrative that like he's going to be this
Speaker 2: NBA prospect at some point, and like, at what point
Speaker 2: does somebody like kind of step in and just say, look,
Speaker 2: let's all actively agree to not run with this nonsense.
Speaker 2: And there's some other nonsense in fact that I've got
Speaker 2: planned for the rest of the show today, so we'll
Speaker 2: have some fun. We'll mix it up as we take
Speaker 2: you up until six o'clock. Stick around again. It is
Speaker 2: Coffee and Company here on a Thursday afternoon. We're fueled
Speaker 2: by Thornton's. On Sports Talk seven ninety after we had
Speaker 2: at least one poor edit on YouTube. I was really
Speaker 2: hoping that this was a good edit. That is that
Speaker 2: is that song has I mean, there's quite anybody who
Speaker 2: knows that song. John knows what was said right as
Speaker 2: see as we were coming back. But yeah, anyways, let's
Speaker 2: keep it rolling along here. It's Coffee and Company. We
Speaker 2: are fueled by Thornton's. Make sure you sign up to

Speaker 2: All right? Text line five two six five three zero
Speaker 2: seven to ninety if you guys want to text in
Speaker 2: on the Ellen N Federal Credit Union. Text on this
Speaker 2: text says Nick, now that you've watched this team in
Speaker 2: the Bahamas, who is your favorite for the dunk contest
Speaker 2: and the three point shootout? Your question? Three point shootout
Speaker 2: should be a lot of fun because this team has
Speaker 2: a lot of shooters, you know, I think it'll be
Speaker 2: rare for them to have more than one guy on
Speaker 2: the floor that you don't feel comfortable taking an open look.
Speaker 2: I would say Big Frank and Trey Ore probably the
Speaker 2: two guys that like you just like, that's so not
Speaker 2: their game, but really everybody else that you play. I mean,
Speaker 2: if they get an open look and it's it's you know,
Speaker 2: in transition, it's off of an extra pass, they're set,
Speaker 2: then they'll probably you know, get the green light to
Speaker 2: knock it down. And there'll be games where this team,
Speaker 2: you know, shoots it poorly, but you know, there's there's
Speaker 2: not many guys on this team when you think of Okay,
Speaker 2: what are they bringing to the table. What do they
Speaker 2: do well? Shooting is a big part of it for
Speaker 2: a lot of these guys. So, but three point shootouts
Speaker 2: are different, right, I mean there are guys who are
Speaker 2: really good shooters that in their career they're shooting close
Speaker 2: to forty percent from three, but you know, just picking
Speaker 2: it up off the rack, moving or like, it's just
Speaker 2: a different it's a different thing than shooting a three
Speaker 2: point shot in a game. Now, there are some that
Speaker 2: have been great at both, right, Like they're elite shooters
Speaker 2: in game and they can light up a three point shootout.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, I would say, like, I can
Speaker 2: just see Corin Johnson being a guy that could get
Speaker 2: really hot in a three point shootout. But then again,
Speaker 2: Rain Smith is somebody that Pat Kelsey still, I mean,
Speaker 2: he doesn't just say this to say it. I think
Speaker 2: he believes it that when Rain Smith has got it rolling,
Speaker 2: like he is one of the shooters he's ever seen
Speaker 2: in his in his life. So he'd probably be the
Speaker 2: betting favorite if somebody really put in the work to
Speaker 2: give us some odds. But I would say, I would
Speaker 2: say corn Johnson would be my would be my pick
Speaker 2: to win a three point shootout at Louisville Live and
Speaker 2: the dunk contest. Uh, I don't know. I would. I
Speaker 2: would go with Cater Treore just because he's got such
Speaker 2: an insane vertical leap in insane reach. And when you
Speaker 2: when you're in a dunk contest, I feel like if
Speaker 2: you're really tall, like you can do something that is
Speaker 2: super impressive, but it doesn't look as impressive if you're
Speaker 2: really tall, because you know, it just it just doesn't
Speaker 2: look that flashy, doesn't look as if you really did
Speaker 2: something that creative and cool if you're already you know,
Speaker 2: three feet from the rim. Like Dwight Howard, like he
Speaker 2: won a couple dunk contests, I think, but I'm not
Speaker 2: sure I ever remember him doing anything in the dunk contest
Speaker 2: that it looked like, Wow, that was impressive, thinking like, okay,
Speaker 2: he put on a Superman cape and dunked it and
Speaker 2: it looked easy to do. Like there are a lot
Speaker 2: of props with guys like that, saying with Blake Griffin,
Speaker 2: who is a phenomenal dunker, but at times, like you know,
Speaker 2: it just didn't look that impressive. So with trei Ora,
Speaker 2: you know, he's got the link. But he's only six five,
Speaker 2: so like I could see him doing something and looking like,
Speaker 2: you know, something that you belong in an NBA dunk
Speaker 2: contest as far as like style points, maybe case in
Speaker 2: pryor No, that's a good one. I'd have a tougher
Speaker 2: time picking a dunk contest winner just because I've not
Speaker 2: seen a lot of these guys throw it down. Although
Speaker 2: I will say Chucky hepburn in his h in his
Speaker 2: Which game was that was that? The Yeah? I think
Speaker 2: it was the second game the uh? Or was it
Speaker 2: the first game? I think it was the second game
Speaker 2: when they played the team from Canada, you know, in
Speaker 2: a half court set, like not even you know, it
Speaker 2: wasn't like he was going downhill, but he you know,
Speaker 2: he saw a path to the lane, took it and
Speaker 2: completely just off two feet just dunk on somebody, which
Speaker 2: I did not know he had that. I didn't know
Speaker 2: he had that in the bag.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: For those just joining us, if you're wondering why we're
Speaker 2: talking about Louisville Live, it's going to return this year
Speaker 2: after not taking place last year, but it'll be at
Speaker 2: It'll be at the Young Center for the first time.
Speaker 2: So October fourth. That's a Friday night. It's the same
Speaker 2: weekend that Louisville will be hosting SMU, So should be
Speaker 2: a big weekend for Louisville fans and for the coaching
Speaker 2: staffs around here when it comes to hosting recruits. Will
Speaker 2: get back to the text line coming up here shortly
Speaker 2: five O two six five three zero seven to ninety Again,
Speaker 2: it's the l and N Federal Credit Union tex Lin
Speaker 2: members get more at Ellenn Federal Credit Union. You can

Speaker 2: All right, so, every year ESPN they give us a
Speaker 2: promo video commercial essentially for the upcoming college football season,
Speaker 2: and it includes a song that is kind of like,
Speaker 2: in their mind, the anthem for college football. And they
Speaker 2: kind of determined that because again, let's be real, the
Speaker 2: majority of big games in college football take place on
Speaker 2: the four letter network, not all of them, right, I mean,
Speaker 2: obviously the Big Ten is a huge league, and they
Speaker 2: don't have any affiliation with ESPN, do they not anymore? Yeah,
Speaker 2: so you know they don't. ESPN kind of owns college football.
Speaker 2: But then again, you know there's still some other networks
Speaker 2: that that you know, might might have something to say
Speaker 2: about that. But anyways, they play these this, you know,
Speaker 2: they play it nonstyle, like I We'll go through and
Speaker 2: look at some of the older songs that you know,
Speaker 2: you'll you'll you'll remember them because either they became radio
Speaker 2: hits or you just remember, Oh yeah, I remember during
Speaker 2: foot during or before football season, and all throughout football
Speaker 2: season they played this a billion times every day, it seemed.
Speaker 2: But here is the upcoming twenty twenty four college football
Speaker 2: season anthem from ESPN, and it has a guy who
Speaker 2: I feel like has become like maybe one of them.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not like a big fan. I don't
Speaker 2: dislike the guy, just he's not really my cup of tea.
Speaker 2: I actually enjoyed him whenever he did more rap than
Speaker 2: he does whatever he's doing now. He's one of those
Speaker 2: guys that kind of is becoming a star. And you
Speaker 2: don't really know what Geen wre to put him in,
Speaker 2: but he goes by jelly roll. You know jelly roll, right,
Speaker 2: John I do.
Speaker 3: He's a part of the Louder Than Lifeline up a
Speaker 3: few years agoing on saw he was.
Speaker 2: I will always want to call him jelly Bean because
Speaker 2: my stepdad at one point, you know, he'd never I guess,
Speaker 2: you know, he's becoming such a big star that like
Speaker 2: people have probably heard him being mentioned, but you know,
Speaker 2: he's you know, he just called him jelly Bean one time, and.
Speaker 3: I thought that was so funny because maybe that's what
Speaker 3: will happen if he sums down a bit, he'll become
Speaker 3: jelly Bean.
Speaker 2: He's a big fellaw, he's a big fellow, no doubt.
Speaker 2: But here here, this is about a minute and a
Speaker 2: half long. I may may dump out before it gets
Speaker 2: to the end of it, but yeah, you'll hear this
Speaker 2: a lot if you're and you'll see it a lot
Speaker 2: if you're somebody who keeps your TV on ESPN, which
Speaker 2: unfortunately it's really the only live TV I ever watches sports,
Speaker 2: and you know, usually the sports tough watcher on ESPN.
Speaker 2: But here it is obviously there's a visual component that
Speaker 2: you guys don't get if you're just listening right now.
Speaker 2: But there was an appearance from Jeff Brown that clip
Speaker 2: that was pretty popular. It was shared quite a bit
Speaker 2: after the game when Louisville went down to Miami and won.
Speaker 2: I think it was the last game before they ended
Speaker 2: up hosting Kentucky. In fact, I think that was the
Speaker 2: game that clinched their their spot in the ACC Championship
Speaker 2: game and Brom got the gatorade bath from behind and
Speaker 2: that was featured in that one minute and thirty four
Speaker 2: second promo reel and the song you know it fits right,
Speaker 2: I mean it's uh, you know, it's not really again
Speaker 2: my cup of tea. But for what they were trying
Speaker 2: to accomplish there, you know, I think they did a
Speaker 2: pretty good job. Now, speaking of ESPN's coverage, there's always
Speaker 2: some new coaches that you know, that that make their day,
Speaker 2: they make their they make their way to the broadcast
Speaker 2: world because they've you know, no longer been able to
Speaker 2: get a job in coaching. One of those is Dan Mullen,
Speaker 2: who I believe is still is still gonna to be
Speaker 2: working free ESPN this year, and I would assume he is.
Speaker 2: He didn't get a job anywhere. But Steve Dazio, you
Speaker 2: guys remember, you guys may remember Steve Dazio from his
Speaker 2: time at Boston College, Temple Colorado State. In fact, did
Speaker 2: you know he was an assistant in Indiana John I'm
Speaker 2: looking at his uh recently, I don't know, but it
Speaker 2: was this is uh, I didn't know it was on
Speaker 2: his bio here. He has an assistant coaching stints at Syracuse, Indiana,
Speaker 2: Notre Dame in Florida. Huh. But he was on Urban
Speaker 2: Meyers staff when they won national championships, and he was
Speaker 2: on Jimbo's staff last year. Of course that ended. So
Speaker 2: now he's going to be one of the UH one
Speaker 2: of the new analysts for UH. For for the four
Speaker 2: latter network, there was an imagined Dragons song that I
Speaker 2: remember being the It just it stuck in my head.
Speaker 3: That's the one I always never and I think of
Speaker 3: the college football theme songs, is it thunder No?
Speaker 2: I think it might have a lot of songs that
Speaker 2: kind of fit this. Yeah, here we go, this is it?
Speaker 2: So that was in twenty and eighteen, a long time ago,
Speaker 2: and I could be wrong. I mean that song ended
Speaker 2: up becoming a pretty big a pretty big song in general,
Speaker 2: I would assume, But I feel like I heard it
Speaker 2: like for the first time whenever it was shown as
Speaker 2: the you know it was. It was included in the
Speaker 2: promotional video footage for the upcoming college football season. So
Speaker 2: I'm curious if these are songs, I would imagine that
Speaker 2: they they probably have a big pool of songs to
Speaker 2: choose from and then go from there. But like, it's
Speaker 2: clearly beneficial for any artists to have their music selected
Speaker 2: for this because it's just free promotion for.
Speaker 3: Them, right, I mean, it may be free, but it
Speaker 3: wouldn't surprise me if artists bid to have their song.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, heck, people pay to be the super
Speaker 2: Bowl or I don't know if they pay, but they
Speaker 2: don't get paid to be the super Bowl halftime performer.
Speaker 1: You know that.
Speaker 2: You know that, Oh yeah, no, you don't get paid
Speaker 2: to be the halftime performer because they feel as if
Speaker 2: they're giving you a chance to get the ultimate exposure,
Speaker 2: which they are, to be honest with you, I mean,
Speaker 2: I can't think of any example of any buddy who
Speaker 2: like Usher. I'm not sure if he was able to
Speaker 2: parlay that into more, you know more, you know, pub
Speaker 2: for himself to kind of not restart his career necessarily.
Speaker 2: But you know, it made sense for him to do
Speaker 2: it because he wouldn't want any money. He would do
Speaker 2: it for free because he you know, hasn't had any
Speaker 2: new music in a long time, and maybe I don't know,
Speaker 2: maybe it kind of revives things for him. But that's
Speaker 2: why like Taylor Swift I think has been asked to
Speaker 2: do it a couple of times and wouldn't do it
Speaker 2: because she's not going to do it for free. Which
Speaker 2: I can respect that too, especially when she doesn't need
Speaker 2: to do anything for promotion right now because you know,
Speaker 2: she's on you know, she's seemingly on top of the world.
Speaker 2: So if I can find like the list of the
Speaker 2: other songs that have that have been used for this,
Speaker 2: because I'm telling you, man, they get played over and
Speaker 2: over and over and they just get stuck in my
Speaker 2: head to whear Like, I'm not going to sit here
Speaker 2: and tell you that I like the song, but you know,
Speaker 2: if it's on you may see me, you know, singing
Speaker 2: along to it because it's just instilled in my brain.
Speaker 2: All right, quick break, we'll come back here on the
Speaker 2: other side, finish up the three o'clock hour to'll forget.
Speaker 2: We will bring in Ken Spencer from w h A
Speaker 2: S eleven. He'll join us, uh at some point in
Speaker 2: the four o'clock hour. I'm pretty sure it'll be around
Speaker 2: like four four twenty, so we may actually cut our
Speaker 2: first segment a little bit shorter today. In the four
Speaker 2: o'clock hour, so we have some more time with kent
Speaker 2: So stick around. There's a lot more to get into
Speaker 2: the rest of the way, including the text line. And uh,
Speaker 2: we'll have some fun. I mean I've got When I
Speaker 2: say have some fun, I mean I think it'll be fun.
Speaker 2: But I'll worry sometimes, like whenever I veer away from sports.
Speaker 2: Like you know, I know there's some people that punch
Speaker 2: the radio and say, you but took, this is a
Speaker 2: sports station, you son of them, bitch. So ESPN has
Speaker 2: released their preseason power rankings for the SEC, which, of
Speaker 2: course you know, a loaded league always and it's got
Speaker 2: even more loaded now with the likes of Texas and
Speaker 2: Oklahoma joining. But any guest, John as to where Kentucky
Speaker 2: comes in in the sixteen team SEC preseason power rankings,
Speaker 2: I bet they've got them at number eleven, close number
Speaker 2: ten Okay, so Georgia number one, Texas to Alabama three,
Speaker 2: Ole miss for Missouri five, Tennessee six, LSU seven, Oklahoma eight,
Speaker 2: Texas A and M nine in Kentucky ten. After Kentucky,
Speaker 2: it's Auburn, Florida, Arkansas, South Carolina, Mississippi State, and Vanderbilt.
Speaker 2: So I'll bring this up because if you're a Kentucky
Speaker 2: fan and you know you're being realistic knowing that you
Speaker 2: know you could have a really good year, you could
Speaker 2: have another not I mean, maybe you have that year
Speaker 2: this year, but just two three years from now, let's
Speaker 2: just say some kind of magical ride happened and Stoops
Speaker 2: really put together a great team with the Portal. They
Speaker 2: developed some guys and it looks as if they got
Speaker 2: a chance to be pretty good. I mean maybe one
Speaker 2: of his best teams. Right, What do you think the
Speaker 2: ceiling is for Kentucky in the SEC moving forward? Because
Speaker 2: they I mean, they've always had well, let me back
Speaker 2: up a second year, because I want they've been clearly
Speaker 2: better in the Stoop's hair than they've really ever been
Speaker 2: as far as consistency, Like they've had years where they
Speaker 2: weren't that good, but still you know, they've not been
Speaker 2: the dorm out of that league in quite some time.
Speaker 2: But even in their years where they were you know,
Speaker 2: five and three, you know they still were middle of
Speaker 2: the packet best because you know, the top of that
Speaker 2: league is so good, but now it's even better. And
Speaker 2: you got to wonder when Stoops was having his better
Speaker 2: seasons right, And they were getting to five and three
Speaker 2: a couple of times, which now we know one of
Speaker 2: those seasons has been vacated, but still, you know, they
Speaker 2: went they won five games. I mean, having a winning
Speaker 2: record in the SEC for Kentucky is not something I
Speaker 2: ever thought we'd see. And he's done it a couple
Speaker 2: of times. They've had some years where they were four
Speaker 2: and four and then they've had many years where they
Speaker 2: were three and five or worse. So with that, you know,
Speaker 2: you're doing that at times when teams that you would
Speaker 2: play every year in the East are going through you know,
Speaker 2: a rough patch, right. They were able to get Tennessee
Speaker 2: a couple of times, a few times really, you know,
Speaker 2: before Hypel got there. Now Tennessee seems to be in
Speaker 2: a solid spot. And I don't think anybody that's objective
Speaker 2: would say that Tennessee right now is not a program
Speaker 2: that's ahead of Kentucky and football. I mean, they always
Speaker 2: have been, but you know, they had a rough little
Speaker 2: stretch there where they were going. I mean really since
Speaker 2: since Fulmer moved on, I mean, they really had a
Speaker 2: tough time sustaining any consistent success. And you know, we'll
Speaker 2: see it looks like Hypel's going to be the guy
Speaker 2: that will be there for a long time. Will they
Speaker 2: ever win a national championship again? Probably not, But hey,
Speaker 2: they're they're better than they were with Kiffin and Derek
Speaker 2: Dooley evenber that guy, Butch Jones and Jeremy Pruett. I mean,
Speaker 2: they've they've found a guy who I think gives them
Speaker 2: hope to you know, not have to go hire a
Speaker 2: new coach anytime soon. Right now, Florida is down. Florida's
Speaker 2: behind them. Florida's at number twelve in these rankings that
Speaker 2: I'm referencing, and Florida's expected to be a team that
Speaker 2: doesn't win many games because they have a really, really
Speaker 2: tough schedule and that's why their head coach is believed
Speaker 2: to be maybe the first guy to get fired this
Speaker 2: year during the season. So do we expect Florida to
Speaker 2: stay down long? Right? Like if Florida ends up hiring
Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin after this upcoming season, I mean at that point,
Speaker 2: like would Kentucky fans realistically expect Florida to be behind them?
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think they should. Auburn is behind
Speaker 2: them right now. Like Auburn, what I'm getting at is
Speaker 2: there are teams that'll have stretches where they're looking at
Speaker 2: a down year where they're likely going to be making
Speaker 2: a coaching change before too long. Again, I think Auburn
Speaker 2: and Florida are two of those teams. Auburn maybe not
Speaker 2: as much because they have gusmells On and he'll probably
Speaker 2: get some time there just because he has shown as
Speaker 2: a head coach to be able to be successful. But
Speaker 2: maybe eventually Missouri falls off and they're behind you. But
Speaker 2: I just I if I was in the SEC and
Speaker 2: I was a Kentucky fan, I mean, yeah, there's benefits
Speaker 2: to playing in a really good league, but like, what's
Speaker 2: the best you could realistically ever finish in your own conference?
Speaker 2: And look, the reason that it's so tough to imagine
Speaker 2: them ever being like a top five or even six
Speaker 2: team in that league is not because of their inabilities.
Speaker 2: It's just because the league is that good. It's loaded.
Speaker 2: And I just had never really thought about it from
Speaker 2: like the louisvill fans perspective, Like I have no problem
Speaker 2: acknowledging the SEC is a much better football league than
Speaker 2: the ACC. No brainer. Everybody knows that. I would never
Speaker 2: deny that, and I wish the ACC was a better league,
Speaker 2: just because at that point, you know, you'd have a
Speaker 2: little more respect when you do, in fact, go out
Speaker 2: and win league games. And heck, Louisville went seven to
Speaker 2: one last year played in the ACC conference championship game,
Speaker 2: and I'm not sure anybody thought that that was impressive,
Speaker 2: and you know, I think that's nonsense. But either way,
Speaker 2: like there are benefits to knowing that in your league,
Speaker 2: you know you could have a once in a decade
Speaker 2: type season and know that, yeah, with that, you could
Speaker 2: win the whole thing, meaning your conference. In the SEC,
Speaker 2: I think there are a ton of teams that could
Speaker 2: have maybe they're once in a two three decade type
Speaker 2: season and know that they're probably playing for fifth place,
Speaker 2: and that wouldn't be a lot of fun. So I
Speaker 2: have found myself kind of appreciating the ACC being a
Speaker 2: power for that has national championship caliber programs that have,
Speaker 2: you know, won a title in the last ten years
Speaker 2: in Clemson, in Florida State and other programs that have
Speaker 2: won one before although it's been a long time, but
Speaker 2: you know, it's not loaded to the point where like
Speaker 2: your ceiling is probably like top five at best, and
Speaker 2: if you're in the Big Ten. I think you can
Speaker 2: say the same thing, but not to the same extent,
Speaker 2: if that makes sense. Maybe it's a little different now
Speaker 2: that you've added Oregon and Washington and USC and UCLA.
Speaker 2: But like all of those schools have had years where
Speaker 2: they were mid and they weren't like a juggernaut. I mean,
Speaker 2: Ohio State, I think has been the most consistent bully
Speaker 2: of the Big Ten, wouldn't you agree, John.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's fair.
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean you could include Michigan in the
Speaker 3: last few years, But it also feels fraudulent now, yeah,
Speaker 3: because even.
Speaker 2: When they Michigan was really good, they were getting curb
Speaker 2: stopped by Ohio State. Like Ohio State is is the
Speaker 2: is the elite program that you know. They could put
Speaker 2: it this way, Ohio State could have a year where
Speaker 2: they don't feel like they're truly a contender to win
Speaker 2: the whole thing and be national champions, but they could
Speaker 2: look across their league and still feel like, yeah, we're
Speaker 2: probably gonna win this league because you know, Michigan's not
Speaker 2: what they were in the last few years. And even
Speaker 2: when Penn State feels like they're getting they're getting you know,
Speaker 2: dangerous we'll still probably beat them, right or whenever Michigan
Speaker 2: State has a randomly really good year, Yeah we can.
Speaker 2: There's still Michigan State and we're Ohio State. We'll we'll
Speaker 2: take care of them. So I don't know, I just
Speaker 2: I think there's benefits to playing in a league that,
Speaker 2: you know, we'll give you the chance to win a
Speaker 2: lot of games in said league and put yourself in
Speaker 2: the playoff. But man, like the SEC is dominant. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's it just is. And to be a middle of
Speaker 2: a pack team in that league could also mean you're
Speaker 2: like a top twenty five caliber program, maybe fairly consistently,
Speaker 2: but like in your own league, you're you know, not
Speaker 2: even maybe you're barely top ten. It's just crazy, all right,
Speaker 2: You're crazy if you don't stick around. We got two
Speaker 2: more hours to go and a lot to get to.
Speaker 2: It's coffee and company. We are phil about Thorton's right
Speaker 2: here on Sports Fox seven ninety
