Speaker 1: It's time for Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.
Speaker 2: That's right, Coffee and Company hour number two here on
Speaker 2: a Tuesday afternoon. Hopefully everybody had had themselves a good
Speaker 2: holiday weekend. We now have week one of the college
Speaker 2: football season in the books, and I'm not sure we
Speaker 2: learned really much of anything about the local teams here,
Speaker 2: but that's what you'd expect. I mean, Louisville took on
Speaker 2: an FCS opponent in Austin p and did exactly what
Speaker 2: you're supposed to do, win sixty two to nothing. As
Speaker 2: for Kentucky, you know, they dominated a Southern miss team
Speaker 2: until the weather and mother nature decided that it was over.
Speaker 2: And you know, Tugie, by the way, we haven't talked
Speaker 2: about it yet. We probably won't much the rest of
Speaker 2: the way today. But they've got a big game against
Speaker 2: South Carolina only because like if they're gonna, you know,
Speaker 2: their schedule is very challenging this year in the SEC,
Speaker 2: and that's when they like kind of got to win, right,
Speaker 2: Like if they're gonna have a season where they're you know,
Speaker 2: getting north of six wins, which is I'm sure what
Speaker 2: they're aiming for. South Carolina's one they got to get
Speaker 2: and South Carolina's had their number for the last couple
Speaker 2: of years.
Speaker 3: A's for Louisville.
Speaker 2: They've got another game against you know, an opponent that
Speaker 2: you hope doesn't provide much of a challenge in Jacksonville State,
Speaker 2: but still plenty to react to from the weekend elsewhere
Speaker 2: against some good games, some marquee matchups. In Week one,
Speaker 2: I know, I was highly entertained with just about everything
Speaker 2: when it comes to college football, and joining us now
Speaker 2: to discuss that is the one the only mister, Zach
Speaker 2: Barnett of FootballScoop dot com, how was your Week one
Speaker 2: experience in college football? My man?
Speaker 4: It was a fantastic The games were I mean the
Speaker 4: games were good, not great for the most part, but
Speaker 4: it was college football and basically a forty weekend.
Speaker 5: What more can you ask for?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I got.
Speaker 2: I mean, if I was gonna do like the the
Speaker 2: typical sports radio stuff like biggest winners, biggest losers from
Speaker 2: the weekend, I mean when it comes to the loser,
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's Florida State, not only this weekend,
Speaker 2: but last weekend as well. Can you think of a
Speaker 2: comparable situation, like everybody is pointing and laughing at Florida
Speaker 2: State in a way that I really can't. I can't
Speaker 2: think of any other program that's been in a situation
Speaker 2: quite like this, going back to December where they sue
Speaker 2: their conference because they're you know, they're bitter. They claim
Speaker 2: the league's holding them back, they get left out of
Speaker 2: the playoff, and you know, now they come out and
Speaker 2: start zero to two, and you know, I mean, they're
Speaker 2: easily the biggest disappointment of the season thus far.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I can't point to Obviously, there's there's no
Speaker 4: parallel to I mean, there was unprecedented and getting left
Speaker 4: out of the playoff and this acc stuff is unprecedented.
Speaker 4: But as as far as like on the field stuff,
Speaker 4: I believe there was a I think it was like
Speaker 4: two thousand and one Alabama. Maybe I'm wrong here. I
Speaker 4: think it was two thousand and one. Alabama started the
Speaker 4: year top ten and they did three and eight. I
Speaker 4: think that's the only parallel to what we've seen so far.
Speaker 4: And I don't think Florida State's gonna end up going
Speaker 4: four and eight. But as far as a top ten start.
Speaker 5: To just completely falling off the map.
Speaker 4: And obviously this is just a bad not that were
Speaker 4: ranked them ten and they're actually, you know, twenty five.
Speaker 4: It's like we ranked them ten and they're not even
Speaker 4: good at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, could anybody have seen this coming?
Speaker 3: Is this?
Speaker 2: Is this just them thinking they were going to be
Speaker 2: in good hands with a quarterback like dju. I mean,
Speaker 2: they did lose a lot off of a good team
Speaker 2: that put dudes in the NFL, But I mean like this,
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a chance that you mentioned they're not
Speaker 2: going to be four and eight, but I mean, like
Speaker 2: last night, they just got their ass whooped. I mean,
Speaker 2: it didn't really looked as if they were. You know,
Speaker 2: you would have never if you didn't know anything about
Speaker 2: Florida State previously as far as last year and what
Speaker 2: their expectations were. I don't think any if you just
Speaker 2: looked at those two teams and didn't know their record
Speaker 2: or name or anything like that, Boston Colleges looked like
Speaker 2: the better team.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Florida State.
Speaker 4: Became the team we saw last year because they had
Speaker 4: really good wide receivers, they had a really good quarterback,
Speaker 4: and they had an extremely strong defensive line and all
Speaker 4: those positions seem.
Speaker 5: Negative at best.
Speaker 4: The Florida State d line, I mean, poor Pete Thammill
Speaker 4: went on ESPN before the first game and said that
Speaker 4: the scouts told him this is the best defensive line
Speaker 4: in the country, and they were getting run over by
Speaker 4: Boston College after getting run over by Georgia Tech DJU obviously,
Speaker 4: I mean I was closer to I mean I was
Speaker 4: watching that game thinking at different points, like you can't
Speaker 4: put him back out there, like he's destroying the team,
Speaker 4: is destroying himself. And then the very next drive they
Speaker 4: didn't score, but he put two passes right on the
Speaker 4: money and the tight end dropped it. So it was
Speaker 4: an all hands on deck failure for the Knowles.
Speaker 2: So of the other big matchups, was there a result
Speaker 2: that maybe surprised you more than others? I mean, I
Speaker 2: think everybody expected some of the games to be close,
Speaker 2: but Notre Dame did pull up, you know, did go
Speaker 2: down and win at Texas A and M. Despite being underdogs.
Speaker 2: LU wasn't able to hold on a big win for
Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley to get things started. I mean, of the
Speaker 2: other matchups, what what stepped out to you more maybe
Speaker 2: than others as far as a result you didn't expect.
Speaker 4: I mean, I have to say the biggest result I
Speaker 4: didn't expect was I had Wyoming beating Arizona State outright,
Speaker 4: and I was only forty two points off.
Speaker 3: Close.
Speaker 2: You were close, brother, I mean.
Speaker 4: So Arizona State in terms of weight class was it
Speaker 4: was the biggest in totality.
Speaker 5: Was the biggest surprise.
Speaker 4: I had Oklahoma State losing outright to South Dakota State.
Speaker 4: That was a mistake. They won that game pretty easily.
Speaker 4: As far as the big games, I had Miami beating Florida,
Speaker 4: but I did not have Miami embarrassing Florida on its
Speaker 4: own field.
Speaker 5: And that's another.
Speaker 4: It's it's these two I guess it's one week and
Speaker 4: these two Floord State games have showed that.
Speaker 5: I mean, we're in an age where.
Speaker 4: Teams are just filling unless you have a generational type
Speaker 4: guy at quarterback.
Speaker 5: Teams aren't usually willing.
Speaker 4: To wait out a struggling freshman or sophomore year from
Speaker 4: quarterbacks anymore. They go out and get the next best
Speaker 4: portal guy and they're just willing to live in the
Speaker 4: poral at that position.
Speaker 5: And it shows how much you can live and die.
Speaker 4: By who you select at that position, and who you
Speaker 4: go out and purchase at that position.
Speaker 5: I mean, if kam Award's playing for.
Speaker 4: Ford State, Florida State's probably two to zer right now.
Speaker 4: And if dju is playing for Miami, they probably lose
Speaker 4: that game in Florida.
Speaker 2: Now, I'm with you, and you know you have I mean,
Speaker 2: coaches are in a tough spots. No coach wants to
Speaker 2: be young, right, I mean I don't know, because why
Speaker 2: would you, And now you don't have to. You can
Speaker 2: be experienced and you can now have guys who stick
Speaker 2: around and play six seven years in certain instances, so
Speaker 2: you know, the portal has made it to you don't
Speaker 2: have to sit out. You have to wait on a
Speaker 2: guy and think, okay, well, hey it's his turn. We'll
Speaker 2: see what he can do. You know, you may give
Speaker 2: that guy an option, but then again you're gonna know, hey,
Speaker 2: I can go to the portal. Get a guy who's
Speaker 2: won his job three years at a lower level. Maybe
Speaker 2: he's going to be good enough to do it here,
Speaker 2: like Miller Moss at USC like it's a guy who
Speaker 2: waited for years behind really really good quarterbacks and Lincoln Riley.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know if it's what he saw
Speaker 2: in the bowl game last year where Miller mass shredded Louisville.
Speaker 2: But you know that what we saw with Miller Moss,
Speaker 2: I feel like that's going to become really really rare,
Speaker 2: is it not.
Speaker 4: I already it was extremely rare to face off against
Speaker 4: a guy who is largely I mean, ESPN did a
Speaker 4: great job showing the graphic of these are guys who
Speaker 4: waited their turn and then got cut in line by
Speaker 4: portal guys that went on to win the Heisman, and
Speaker 4: they still stuck around and both of them played really well.
Speaker 4: And I think one thing this season has shown, if
Speaker 4: we're just looking at Florida State is that was a
Speaker 4: program that was built largely by a portal. But at
Speaker 4: the same time, it's not like guys were just swooping
Speaker 4: in in Florida State was immediately going thirteen to no.
Speaker 5: I understand they had some new.
Speaker 4: Guys last year, but most of those guys, I mean,
Speaker 4: especially Jordan Travis, as you well know, was a technically
Speaker 4: a transfer, but he spent what four years at Florida
Speaker 4: State after Louisville, so technically he was a transfer, but
Speaker 4: really he was a guy that Florida State developed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, not in the sense you see a transfer
Speaker 2: quarterback at a big time school now, usually it's hey,
Speaker 2: you know, they rented him for a year, like you know,
Speaker 2: like a lot of schools are doing now. But it's
Speaker 2: just I don't know, like if like, for example, not
Speaker 2: that you're plugged in and give a damn about what's
Speaker 2: going on at louis But there's a good example here.
Speaker 2: They've got a kid named Pierce Clarkson who has been
Speaker 2: waiting and he's a red shirt freshman this year. He
Speaker 2: got some reps last year. You know, he's the backup
Speaker 2: right now, and I think the hope is that he
Speaker 2: takes advantage of opportunities to play when Louisville's beating a
Speaker 2: Jacksonville State and beating an Austin p maybe beating a
Speaker 2: Virginia and he doesn't get you know. I mean, it's experienced,
Speaker 2: but it's not the same thing as being a starter
Speaker 2: and going out there and trying to win the game.
Speaker 2: You're in the game because it's mop up, dude. But
Speaker 2: I justo, if I'm Jeff Brohm'm thinking, Okay, I've seen
Speaker 2: enough from this kid. I really do like him. But
Speaker 2: then again, I know what's in the portal, and it'd
Speaker 2: be hard for me not to just know, Hey, I
Speaker 2: could probably go get another you know, big name guy.
Speaker 2: I could probably go get another quarterback. Coaches choosing to
Speaker 2: not go to the port unless your name's Debo Sweeney,
Speaker 2: I just feel like it's gonna be really, really rare.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's the ultimate push pull that coaches. I mean,
Speaker 4: this is this question right here is going to make
Speaker 4: or break so many coaches. Is obviously, you can't just
Speaker 4: live in the portal. You have to the portal should
Speaker 4: be a supplement to your high school recruiting. But at
Speaker 4: the same time, how many guys have that equity in
Speaker 4: their jobs.
Speaker 5: Where if you go eight and four, can you survive.
Speaker 4: A five and seven season while you build up and
Speaker 4: develop your high school guys, or do you feel the
Speaker 4: need to, well, if I need to win at least
Speaker 4: seven games next year, to go get some portal guys,
Speaker 4: And then you're you leads, you.
Speaker 5: Sin and in your depth, and.
Speaker 4: You you're constantly just trying to refill what you're You're
Speaker 4: Robin Peter to pay Paul. Sure, at that point, I
Speaker 4: I don't have the answer to that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I I think it's going to become an
Speaker 2: annual thing. When you get to the end of the season,
Speaker 2: these coaches are going to say, well, I need a
Speaker 2: few good men. Let me look at this portal and
Speaker 2: see who can come and save my career. Because that's
Speaker 2: how that's how desperate I needed. So there's you know,
Speaker 2: when that didn't exist, it would be much more unlikely
Speaker 2: for a guy to have a big, out of nowhere
Speaker 2: special season. But with the portal, again, you you take risks.
Speaker 2: You never really know what you're gonna get, but there
Speaker 2: are the occasional finds to where it can it can
Speaker 2: it can create something special. So real quick on a
Speaker 2: couple of other big games, as far as you know
Speaker 2: big brands, these weren't. These weren't competitive games. But with
Speaker 2: Georgia and Clemson, it's impossible to know. But thirty four
Speaker 2: to three was the score. It was actually six to
Speaker 2: nothing at halftime. What did that's in your opinion? Did
Speaker 2: that say more about Georgia or more about Clemson.
Speaker 4: I think said more about Clemson, just for the fact
Speaker 4: that no one expected him to win the game. But
Speaker 4: they were two touchdown underdogs, which is obviously significant, and
Speaker 4: they weren't even I mean they lost by they didn't
Speaker 4: even cover the spread by what's seventeen points. Yeah, their
Speaker 4: offense they just had nothing. I mean, they could still
Speaker 4: be out there playing and Clemson win them scored a
Speaker 4: touchdown yet, And so every time I watch Clemson, they're
Speaker 4: asking kid Clubnick to do everything, and he's running for
Speaker 4: his life and has to make sixty decisions a game
Speaker 4: between the run game and the throw game, and he's
Speaker 4: often he's late.
Speaker 5: He didn't have a lot of huge windows to throw to.
Speaker 4: I remember the one throw on the corner route that
Speaker 4: was really nice that got them to midfield that I
Speaker 4: think that was as far as they penetrated until the
Speaker 4: second half. So I don't think Caid club Nick is great.
Speaker 4: But I also don't think he's got a whole lot
Speaker 4: of help on that side of the ball.
Speaker 5: And obviously it's.
Speaker 4: Been well documented Dabo has been negligent in getting him help.
Speaker 2: Let me let me ask the same question, but about
Speaker 2: Miami in Florida, because I think with with with Florida. Obviously,
Speaker 2: Billion Napier has been discussed as a guy who has
Speaker 2: you know, I think odds said that he was the
Speaker 2: most likely to be the first Power five coach fired.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if that's nded up happening or not,
Speaker 2: but let me let me rephrase, is it. Is it
Speaker 2: accurate to say that, despite all the talk and the
Speaker 2: heat surrounding Billion Napier, that his season actually has gotten
Speaker 2: off to a worse start than anybody would have expected,
Speaker 2: not only to get embarrassed at home by Miami, but
Speaker 2: then to come out and kind of criticize fans for
Speaker 2: their criticism, like, I feel like this guy's trying to
Speaker 2: lose his job, Zach.
Speaker 4: So I actually wrote about that today and I went
Speaker 4: back and watched the press conference, and in his very
Speaker 4: next sentence, he comes out and says that he understands
Speaker 4: that they're they're going to be criticized and that they're.
Speaker 5: That's part of the job.
Speaker 4: So I feel like that part of it was overblown,
Speaker 4: but the statement leading up to that was overlooked because
Speaker 4: he's ventured into Butcher Jones Champions of Life territory, where
Speaker 4: he's talking about they have great they have great character,
Speaker 4: they just need to work on the football part, Like
Speaker 4: that's kind of your entire job is to work on,
Speaker 4: quote quote the football.
Speaker 2: And those those are some of the last signs that
Speaker 2: it's over, is it not?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I mean, as I wrote, he's ventured into these college
Speaker 4: football coaches are so powerful, but when they lose the plot,
Speaker 4: they become substitute teachers who have lost control of their
Speaker 4: eighth period class. And they say eventually gets clowned on
Speaker 4: and people start suiting them out. And that's happened very
Speaker 4: quickly for Napier after and again, it's not that they
Speaker 4: lost the game as an unranked team to a ranked opponent,
Speaker 4: it's that they got blown out.
Speaker 2: Have you published that yet?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I need to see it. I want to read
Speaker 2: it because I mean I find myself fascinated, not that
Speaker 2: I'm you know, getting great in enjoyment in somebody's downfall,
Speaker 2: but I think with billiy Napier again, like it is
Speaker 2: wild to me, and I watched it kind of play
Speaker 2: out here in basketball, where you can just when you
Speaker 2: follow a program close, you know, the little things you see,
Speaker 2: body language, mannerisms, the way coaches say things. You can
Speaker 2: kind of tell they like they kind of they probably
Speaker 2: won't let their mind acknowledge it, but they know it's over.
Speaker 2: And I kind of sense that that's the way things
Speaker 2: are going with billiy Napier. I know I asked you
Speaker 2: this last time we talked, but I got to ask
Speaker 2: again since we're talking about it. Who you calling? If
Speaker 2: you're the AD at Florida and you get rid of.
Speaker 5: Him, that's such a good question. I feel like.
Speaker 4: At this point this is never really a good answer.
Speaker 4: But they're in a weird situation where their interim president.
Speaker 5: Is also their previous president. The AD is the guy
Speaker 5: that hired him. The AD before him hired Dan Bullen.
Speaker 4: So usually when you fire your second coach that you've hired,
Speaker 4: you follow him out the door. Sure, in this situation,
Speaker 4: if that doesn't happen, and you kind of got to
Speaker 4: I mean, we're in such an age where you got
Speaker 4: to go to the money people and be like, who
Speaker 4: will you guys support because it does no one any
Speaker 4: good to go higher.
Speaker 5: You know, coach X if as soon as.
Speaker 4: You gets there, he's dead on arrival because the money
Speaker 4: for facilities and the money for players drives up.
Speaker 5: I mean, you got it, you kind of.
Speaker 4: If Scott Circling stays around, I think you've got a
Speaker 4: crowdsource your next hire.
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's an elite job, right, Like actually
Speaker 2: let me ask you this again. I'm just throwing these
Speaker 2: rabid fire questions at you. Where would you rank that
Speaker 2: job in the sec?
Speaker 4: Below Georgia, below LSU, below Alabama? He's probably right there
Speaker 4: for in it it's it's very similar to the Texas job,
Speaker 4: and that people think it's easier than it is. I
Speaker 4: rate it below Oklahoma just the resources aren't there. But
Speaker 4: Oklahoma has a tradition of winning now, and I mean,
Speaker 4: we look at it's beginning to raise the question where
Speaker 4: Steve Spurry.
Speaker 5: Or Irban Meyer are just too all time.
Speaker 4: Great that happened to do what they did at Florida
Speaker 4: and no one else there to figure it out.
Speaker 2: It's a good point. They are close to where if
Speaker 2: one if another one just doesn't seem to take off.
Speaker 2: I think that, I mean, I'm sure that already is
Speaker 2: probably being said by a lot of people, but I
Speaker 2: hadn't thought about that, that it was really just two
Speaker 2: guys that really had it at its peak and others
Speaker 2: have kind of not only struggled to get there, but
Speaker 2: some have just had a really really tough time. I mean,
Speaker 2: I feel like more often than not, the Florida football
Speaker 2: programs since Urban Meyer when you're talking about it is
Speaker 2: that it's underwhelming and that they're going to need to
Speaker 2: make a change. Can they get back to where they were?
Speaker 2: And they haven't done that just yet. All right, one
Speaker 2: more question for you of the games here coming up
Speaker 2: in week two. Obviously, I know your Longhorns are involved
Speaker 2: in the biggest one Texas in Michigan. That should be
Speaker 2: a hell of a game. But outside of that, what
Speaker 2: do you make of a slate? I mean, you have
Speaker 2: much interest in the Tennessee and C State game, Colorado
Speaker 2: and Nebraska. Just curious if there's any games that stand
Speaker 2: out to you that you're really looking forward to watching,
Speaker 2: not that you're not going to enjoy all of it
Speaker 2: because you're a football guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Colorado Nebraska will be fun to watch, for sure.
Speaker 4: I'd like to see if Nebraska can keep it rolling.
Speaker 4: Colorado was very fortunate to beat North Dakota State and
Speaker 4: to now have to go on the road and play
Speaker 4: a team that should be better. That's gonna be interesting.
Speaker 4: And the Tennessee and C State doesn't do a whole
Speaker 4: lot for me. But I am interested in that South
Speaker 4: Carolina Kentucky game because I agree with what you were
Speaker 4: saying before I came on that people are now starting
Speaker 4: to circle South Carolina is like, this is the one
Speaker 4: we got to get. I mean, if you can't beat
Speaker 4: South Carolina, we're in trouble. And I know they've had
Speaker 4: trouble with him.
Speaker 5: I was just watching.
Speaker 4: Earlier today that the clips from the last time South
Speaker 4: Carolina was in Lexington and Shane was dancing and to
Speaker 4: make fun of Mark Stoops. This is a game where
Speaker 4: both sides are pointing at each other saying, if we
Speaker 4: can't beat these guys, we're in trouble. And those are
Speaker 4: always fun games because as we saw last week, someone's
Speaker 4: gotta lose that game and it's gonna be uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: All right, i'lled one more thing. I just want to
Speaker 2: open up and be honest with you because I consider
Speaker 2: you a friend, Zach. I have had to come to
Speaker 2: grips with the fact that I'm a hater. I I
Speaker 2: genuinely want nothing more than to see Dion Sanders fail,
Speaker 2: and he's not done anything to me. I don't care
Speaker 2: about Colorado football. Maybe this is me just being like
Speaker 2: a getting older, becoming like a crotchy old man who
Speaker 2: doesn't like flashy fun things like Deon Sanders, but it
Speaker 2: is consumed me, Zach, I want Colorado to lose every
Speaker 2: game in the rest of the season. I'm sure that's
Speaker 2: not going to happen, but I'm a hater. I just
Speaker 2: want you to know that, all right.
Speaker 5: They make themselves easy to hate.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's not just the on it, it's sugar
Speaker 4: as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah you said it, I mean yeah, And and they're
Speaker 2: really good at it, you know what I mean? Like
Speaker 2: they they they're like even he telling them like, why
Speaker 2: do you care? Nick? Why do you know? They're in
Speaker 2: the They're in the big the big twelve. Now you're
Speaker 2: never gonna see him? And then I'm like, well, you
Speaker 2: know what, any little thing I see on social media,
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, those guys make it very easy. So
Speaker 2: I'm hopeful that Nebraska can can knock them up. But
Speaker 2: we shall see, Zach. I appreciate you making time for us.
Speaker 2: Keep up the great work, my friend, and we will
Speaker 2: talk soon, right, buddy?
Speaker 5: So good?
Speaker 2: All right? That Zach Barnett FootballScoop dot Com. Go check
Speaker 2: out his work. He does great job. If you're not
Speaker 2: following him on Twitter, what are you doing? He's on
Speaker 2: Twitter at zach Underscore Barnett quick break, We'll come back.
Speaker 2: Keep it rolling along here, Nick Coffee, the company man,
Speaker 2: mister John All on the alongside, taking you up till six
Speaker 2: o'clock right here on Sportstock seven ninety. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 2: we've heard the same voice for a long time during
Speaker 2: commercial breaks when we get the iHeart Sports Minute. Is
Speaker 2: that what it's called? Something like that.
Speaker 6: I think they've changed the name of it a few
Speaker 6: different times, but yes.
Speaker 1: That talk.
Speaker 2: Does that show in your log?
Speaker 3: Like what it what it looks like the name of
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's the it happens I think what once
Speaker 2: an hour? Maybe twice an hour.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think and the four o'clock I think it's twice,
Speaker 6: but three and five it happens once. But so there's
Speaker 6: one called the Fox Sports Radio Updates, and there's the
Speaker 6: other one that's the the Statewide.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it just played. So I mean, I should
Speaker 2: just leave this alone, but I can't. I can't help myself.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm a company man, right and iHeart they
Speaker 2: signed the checks. That's my employer. But like, this is
Speaker 2: something that's so little and so avoidable, Like it's not
Speaker 2: like I'm mad they mentioned Kentucky and not Louisville, but
Speaker 2: like this is just such an easy fix. Like I've
Speaker 2: been this guy before, meaning I've had to get updates
Speaker 2: for sports in markets you know where. I mean, I've
Speaker 2: not done it nationally, but like being the radio the
Speaker 2: sports radio anchor for news hits like what you just
Speaker 2: heard there, that's more work than anybody would ever imagine.
Speaker 2: I'm being serious like that. You know, it's just a
Speaker 2: little bit of time on the air, but like that,
Speaker 2: there's more. Not to say that it's the hardest thing ever,
Speaker 2: but there's more work that would go into that I
Speaker 2: think anybody would realize. And sometimes, you know, it just
Speaker 2: works out good for you. We're hey, I can fill
Speaker 2: ninety seconds because these are just three headlines I can
Speaker 2: read and that's it. That's enough content to fill the
Speaker 2: little time that I have. And you know, it's supposed
Speaker 2: to be local. And this guy doesn't, I guess understand that.
Speaker 2: You know, Louisville the biggest market in our state. You
Speaker 2: know they exist too, And like he's trying, he can't
Speaker 2: find anything local to add in there, so he mentions
Speaker 2: Kentucky still receiving votes in the AP pole is like
Speaker 2: a local there's your local fix for your local update
Speaker 2: and sports here in the Kentucky and area, when in fact,
Speaker 2: like Vandy's getting more votes than Kentucky.
Speaker 6: Did he even mention Louisville being in the top twenty five.
Speaker 2: No, that's what I'm talking about. That's what pissed me off.
Speaker 2: Like it's just it's so and it's not like because
Speaker 2: I think he's a hater of Louisville. It's just like
Speaker 2: that's you could easily figure out where this is going
Speaker 2: to go and understand that, you know what, Louisville a
Speaker 2: pretty big city within the state of Kentucky, which you
Speaker 2: know it is a statewide sports update.
Speaker 3: But like, even if you're.
Speaker 2: A Kentucky fan and I don't know rural Kentucky and
Speaker 2: you hate Louisville, you would understand why would be included
Speaker 2: in a state wide update because you know they're in
Speaker 2: this state as well, and they're a ranked team. They're
Speaker 2: in the top twenty five. So I don't know, I mean,
Speaker 2: why does that bother me?
Speaker 5: John?
Speaker 2: I need help.
Speaker 6: I shouldn't care about that, honestly, you know, yeah, we
Speaker 6: should just move on.
Speaker 3: We'll move on.
Speaker 2: Because it's not about it's not about Red Verse Blue.
Speaker 2: It's just like that's such an like it's a bad
Speaker 2: look on this station specifically, which I care about, and
Speaker 2: it's so easily avoidable and yet like how it happens,
Speaker 2: I don't know. But anyways, we've heard that same guy
Speaker 2: for a long time, and I don't I don't think.
Speaker 6: Bellerman before Molt Belleri or beller mean either one. Yeah,
Speaker 6: instead of Bellerman, it's Beller Meane or Beller Mine. So anyways,
Speaker 6: we'll move on. It is Coffee and Company.
Speaker 2: We are fuel about Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven
Speaker 2: ninety nit coffee. That is me the company man, mister
Speaker 2: John on alongside today and if you want to join
Speaker 2: us on the show, you can do that. Five O
Speaker 2: two five seven one seventy nine hundred is the number
Speaker 2: if you want to give us a call. Phone lines
Speaker 2: are open. You can also text in on the L
Speaker 2: and N Federal Credit Union text line five O two
Speaker 2: six five three zero seven ninety. A couple people have
Speaker 2: sent in some comments about Louisville's schedule, you know, will
Speaker 2: In fact, the latest one says, will people stop talking
Speaker 2: about Louisville's soft schedule now that they've got half their
Speaker 2: opponents being ranked, which I'm not sure if that's actually true,
Speaker 2: so let's talk about that really quickly. So right now
Speaker 2: Louisville has jumped up in the top twenty five themselves
Speaker 2: at number twenty two in one and then number twenty three,
Speaker 2: and the other I think the ap pole has n't
Speaker 2: bet number twenty two, which is, you know, they were
Speaker 2: right outside before the season started. There's been some losses,
Speaker 2: so I mean I expected them to be anywhere between
Speaker 2: twenty one and twenty five, and because of some unexpected
Speaker 2: things happening early on in the college football season, like
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech knocking off Florida State, Miami handling Florida embarrassing
Speaker 2: them in Gainesville, and Notre Dame going down to Texas
Speaker 2: A and M and winning. And by the way, Miami
Speaker 2: and Notre Dame were already ranked. But right now Louisville
Speaker 2: has four opponents on the schedule that are currently ranked.
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech is at twenty three. I mentioned Notre Dame's
Speaker 2: number five, Miami's now at number twelve, and Clemson stayed
Speaker 2: in the top twenty five at twenty five, and then
Speaker 2: you throw in Boston College who's also on the schedule,
Speaker 2: which by the way Boston College. They're just outside, so
Speaker 2: technically they would be. They're twenty seventh among anybody that's
Speaker 2: receiving votes, Simus at thirty two among those receiving votes,
Speaker 2: Kentucky's at forty two. So you know, two ways to
Speaker 2: look at it. One, there has been a lot of
Speaker 2: talk about Louisville schedule, not only from you know, the
Speaker 2: Kentucky fans that just do the rivalry thing. Well, y'all
Speaker 2: ain't played nobody, y'all, you know, and they're always going
Speaker 2: to do that. That's never going to go away, right,
Speaker 2: Like if Kentucky would have lost to Southern miss over
Speaker 2: the weekend, which they didn't, and they, I mean, they
Speaker 2: did exactly what you want to do against that kind
Speaker 2: of an opponent, they would still be chesty and arrogant
Speaker 2: about Louisville because they would tell themselves, well, at the
Speaker 2: end of the day, doesn't matter because you guys play
Speaker 2: in the ACC We're an se team, and like, there's
Speaker 2: just no scenario you we could ever lose to you.
Speaker 2: That's how a lot of them, even if they don't
Speaker 2: believe that, that's just kind of how they operate because
Speaker 2: you know, the rivalry. So regardless, like the ACC is
Speaker 2: not as good of a league as the SEC or
Speaker 2: the Big ten. And I guess, depending upon you know
Speaker 2: who you're talking to, I who ends up being the
Speaker 2: third best league this year? I think it's gonna be
Speaker 2: a pretty competitive race, to be honest with you. Is
Speaker 2: it gonna be somebody from the Big twelve that puts
Speaker 2: their league over the top or will it be the ACEC.
Speaker 2: Only time will tell. But you know, right now, objective
Speaker 2: people who objectively vote in the ap pole. And when
Speaker 2: I say objectively, I mean maybe there is a guy
Speaker 2: who covers this team that his ballot you can look
Speaker 2: at it and kind of tell, okay, maybe he is
Speaker 2: coming from an ACC or an SEC perspective, like there's
Speaker 2: a lot of flavor for the league that his team
Speaker 2: that he covers is in. But overall, people who end
Speaker 2: up getting these jobs, meaning beat writers for newspapers, even
Speaker 2: if they got a little bit of home Er in them,
Speaker 2: they do understand that they have a job to do
Speaker 2: to be fair objective, and sometimes that's easier said than done.
Speaker 2: But like I trust those people not to say that
Speaker 2: I think that their poll is one thousand percent accurate,
Speaker 2: But like I don't think they're going to be doing
Speaker 2: any funny business. The coaches poll, nobody knows who votes
Speaker 2: for that. It's it's honestly mostly the sids at these
Speaker 2: schools who know their coach is not going to go
Speaker 2: one by one to twenty five and say who he
Speaker 2: thinks is good. So it's gonna be the sids that
Speaker 2: do it. So again, objective folks who vote each week
Speaker 2: in the ap pole, they would tell you, you know, collectively
Speaker 2: that Louisville has seven opponents that are within the top
Speaker 2: forty of college football, with Kentucky being the worst at
Speaker 2: forty two. So that's not to say, yeah, eat it everybody.
Speaker 2: Louisville schedule is actually really really good. But like the
Speaker 2: but the notion that, like because they play in the
Speaker 2: ACC and their non conference schedules not elite this year, well,
Speaker 2: there's just no way they could be a good team
Speaker 2: because they don't have any chances to prove it. No,
Speaker 2: they do, I mean again, Notre Dames, number five team
Speaker 2: in the country, and you gotta go play them there Miami.
Speaker 2: They look really good, really good against Florida. We'll see
Speaker 2: if Georgia Tech and Clemson end up being there, you know,
Speaker 2: down the line. But like, I wouldn't be shocked if
Speaker 2: Georgia And this is where you're kind of in a
Speaker 2: tough spot. If you beat Georgia Tech, that eliminates people
Speaker 2: thinking they're good, and I hate that, but that's just
Speaker 2: the way it is, right, wouldn't you agree, John, Like,
Speaker 2: if Louisville and Georgia Tech play competitive game and Louisville
Speaker 2: wins the close one, Georgia Tech will go from rank
Speaker 2: twenty third to being unranked, right, Like, there's no scenario.
Speaker 3: At that point.
Speaker 6: You just hope that Georgia Tech bounces back and that's
Speaker 6: good the rest of the season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's where that benefit of the doubt that
Speaker 2: always mention matters, because despite Georgia Tech beating Florida State
Speaker 2: looking pretty good doing it, they handled Georgia State over
Speaker 2: the weekend. They are coming off of a season where
Speaker 2: they finished in the top four in the league and
Speaker 2: had nine wins at the end of the year. Despite
Speaker 2: all that, they still aren't a program that if Louisville,
Speaker 2: you know, if if Louisville beats them close and they
Speaker 2: still end up having a good season the rest of
Speaker 2: the way, and Georgia Tech only has two three losses.
Speaker 2: I still don't think people are going to give them
Speaker 2: the bene it of the doubt and the acc the
Speaker 2: benefit of it out and saying, oh, well, what are
Speaker 2: you gonna do? I mean, those two teams had to
Speaker 2: play each other, they're both really good. Like even if
Speaker 2: that was the case, and that was true, and Georgia
Speaker 2: Tech and louisll end up being really good teams, I
Speaker 2: just don't know if they'll ever get the proper credit
Speaker 2: for it. Now, for what it's worth, it won't matter
Speaker 2: right if you get in the If you win en
Speaker 2: up in this league, even if people think it's as
Speaker 2: good as a high school league, you will find yourself
Speaker 2: in the college football Playoff and that's where you have
Speaker 2: a chance to really sort of change the narrative about
Speaker 2: how you're viewed as a league. And I've never been
Speaker 2: the big acc raw raw go league because I just
Speaker 2: I can't relate. I think it's because Louis has been
Speaker 2: in so many different conferences in my lifetime. I just
Speaker 2: have never really felt, you know, the fan vibe of
Speaker 2: a conference. Now with that said, I also understand one
Speaker 2: thousand percent that your league being good is a big deal.
Speaker 2: Like you need your league to be good, and it
Speaker 2: needs to be a league that'she did, because that's gonna
Speaker 2: have a factor in how people view you as a
Speaker 2: member of that league. So I've never really I mean,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't care if Louisville left the ACC tomorrow if
Speaker 2: it meant they ended up in a better league. Like
Speaker 2: I don't care, but I will root like hell for
Speaker 2: the league to get two teams in to the playoff
Speaker 2: and those teams win, because I feel like that's the
Speaker 2: only way you're going to change the narrative about your
Speaker 2: league being viewed the way that it is. And by
Speaker 2: the way, the dominant teams, you know, the ones who
Speaker 2: clearly feel like they're way above you and everybody else
Speaker 2: in the league is beneath them, they're not helping the
Speaker 2: league's case at all. Florida State's the biggest joke in
Speaker 2: the country right now, and Clemson, we'll see, you know,
Speaker 2: I still think that was more about Georgia than anything else.
Speaker 2: But that's a data point that will be shoved in
Speaker 2: everybody's face. If Clemson was to somehow be really successful
Speaker 2: in the ACC this year and maybe they take that
Speaker 2: playoff spot, you know they're gonna look at what they
Speaker 2: did against Georgia and know that Georgia's elite, but say, yeah,
Speaker 2: why would we We can't take them serious as a
Speaker 2: playoff team because we saw what happened when they played
Speaker 2: Georgia earlier this year. So anyways, like to answer your
Speaker 2: question on the text line, yes, Louisville fans should throw
Speaker 2: that tough schedule as we speak, in the face of
Speaker 2: those who are doubting Louisville playing anybody worth worth of damn.
Speaker 2: But I also, like again, I think Miami and Notre
Speaker 2: Dame just just just throwing it out there. I think
Speaker 2: Miami Notre Dame are the only two teams that by
Speaker 2: the end of the season Louisville will have played that
Speaker 2: it's still going to be ranked. And that's not Louisville's fault,
Speaker 2: that's nobody's fault. That's just that's just you know, I
Speaker 2: don't think Clemson's gonna stay in the top twenty five,
Speaker 2: and I don't think Georgia Tech's gonna stay in the
Speaker 2: top twenty five, and I hope they don't because if
Speaker 2: George's Tex stays in the top twenty five, you know
Speaker 2: what that means. That means they beat Louisville. I mean
Speaker 2: that because that's you play them in two weeks, right,
Speaker 2: So you know that's just that's that's how that's how
Speaker 2: it works. Boston College maybe, I mean, I'll have to
Speaker 2: look at their schedule. So all you can do is
Speaker 2: play who's on your schedule. You can't control the narrative.
Speaker 2: You can try, but people are going to say what
Speaker 2: they're going to say. And I think the ACC, as
Speaker 2: far as a football fan base, is in such a
Speaker 2: helpless spot to wear no matter. And again, it's not
Speaker 2: to say that you're a victim. The league is what
Speaker 2: it is. It's viewed the way that it's viewed because
Speaker 2: of previous previous years, where when you go out there
Speaker 2: and you play in a non conference portion of your schedule,
Speaker 2: you lay an egg, you lose the teams you shouldn't
Speaker 2: lose to. And again, one of those examples happened this weekend.
Speaker 2: Bandy beating Virginia Tech is embarrassing for the ACC. It
Speaker 2: just is has nothing new with Louisville. So I'm to
Speaker 2: a point now where I'm just you know, as much
Speaker 2: as I talk about it, I should probably just shut
Speaker 2: the hell up and realize, Hey, just play who's on
Speaker 2: your schedule. And if you win your league and everybody
Speaker 2: says doesn't matter, that league stinks, that's why you want it.
Speaker 2: We'd have won that league, but we were in the SEC. Well,
Speaker 2: you know, if you win your league, here's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: You're gonna be in the playoff and you'll get a
Speaker 2: chance to shut people up. Improve what improved. If you're legitiate,
Speaker 2: you're not.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: Break We'll come back on the other side. Get to
Speaker 2: more of your phone calls. Follons are open to by
Speaker 2: the way, five wways though I have seven one seventy
Speaker 2: nine hundred. I didn't expect to be an hour and
Speaker 2: forty five minutes into the show and not tell you
Speaker 2: guys about my gambling success and or failures. Tongue in
Speaker 2: cheek there, I realized none of you guys care about it.
Speaker 2: But I do want to talk briefly, just about a
Speaker 2: new I think, a new mature better that I've become John.
Speaker 2: I think I'm now, you know, I think I'm more
Speaker 2: wise when it comes to, you know, what I want
Speaker 2: to do on Saturdays when college football action is you know,
Speaker 2: it's hard to not get involved in every game but
Speaker 2: you know what, I don't need to be betting on
Speaker 2: every game.
Speaker 3: You're a shaman, now, that's right.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think I know what that means.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna assume it means what I think it means.
Speaker 2: But you know that's a compliment, right, I think it
Speaker 2: is okay to make it sure.
Speaker 3: I thought so.
Speaker 2: That's how big of a dumbass I can be at times,
Speaker 2: Like somebody could insult me and I'm well, thank you,
Speaker 2: Like you don't realize that wasn't They were not complimenting you.
Speaker 2: You could have just done that to me, John, and
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have known. But I know you wouldn't do that.
Speaker 2: You're good guy. You're a good guy. You're a good friend.
Speaker 2: A right quick quick break will come back on the
Speaker 2: other side. Keep this party rolling along. It's coffee and company.
Speaker 3: Field.
Speaker 2: Beth Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety having some second
Speaker 2: thoughts here, as I was just telling you guys before
Speaker 2: we went to break that I enjoyed wagering on college
Speaker 2: football this weekend. I did win. I mean I ended
Speaker 2: up with more money in the account than when I started,
Speaker 2: which is always what you want. But I did not
Speaker 2: bet on as many games, and I feel like, you know,
Speaker 2: that's what you need to do.
Speaker 3: Nick, don't just.
Speaker 2: Get overwhelmed and start throwing down six leg parlays or
Speaker 2: betting on teams you know nothing about. I mean, we
Speaker 2: don't know anything about any of these teams before they've
Speaker 2: played a game. And nearly everybody made their actual debut
Speaker 2: this past weekend unless you were one of the few
Speaker 2: teams that did play in Week zero. So I feel
Speaker 2: like it was a good way to go about it.
Speaker 2: But now I'm looking at you just you know, an
Speaker 2: unlimited amount of games to bet on here John this weekend,
Speaker 2: and I want to bet on all of them.
Speaker 3: It's tough.
Speaker 6: And but here's the thing, though, I do feel like
Speaker 6: it gets easier to make bets on certain teams and
Speaker 6: really a lot more teams as you get into the
Speaker 6: season because you know more about him. But the sportsbooks
Speaker 6: also get smarter because they're more aware.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I h and it's a cliche, but it's like
Speaker 2: most cliches, they're cliches for a reason, because it's true.
Speaker 2: You do have a chance to really clean up, as
Speaker 2: they say, more so in the first few weeks, because
Speaker 2: just like us, the sports books are also trying to
Speaker 2: figure out who's good and who's not right, Like it's
Speaker 2: tough to know, you know, for example, there's always results
Speaker 2: in the first couple of weeks that you end up
Speaker 2: looking back on and it was an outlier. But there's
Speaker 2: no way to know that until you know time has passed.
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what when it comes to games
Speaker 2: this weekend for college football, which trust me, tomorrow we'll
Speaker 2: get more into the NFL because I've got a lot
Speaker 2: of things I'm looking forward to doing with underdog fantasy
Speaker 2: tomorrow for the NFL. Are just I should say Thursday
Speaker 2: for the NFL opener. But like Duke Northwestern, why would
Speaker 2: I want to bet on that? That's the dork schools?
Speaker 2: But yet I'm thinking, hell yeah, Northwestern minus two and
Speaker 2: a half, that's a lot. Duke sucks.
Speaker 6: Northwestern did go toe to toe with Miami of Ohio
Speaker 6: this past weekend and barely beat him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Arkansas plus seven and a half against
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State. Maybe it's just me looking at what Bobby
Speaker 2: PA's doing down there calling plays and calling the Hogs,
Speaker 2: but I kind of feel like they may pull off
Speaker 2: the upset there. It's probably a stay away, but it did,
Speaker 2: it did intrigue me a little bit. And then Pittsburgh
Speaker 2: at Cincinnati. I mean, that's Sadderfield. I mean, I want
Speaker 2: to fade him, but you know, I know going in
Speaker 2: that that's just that. I mean, that's literally just me
Speaker 2: being a hater of Sadderfield. And there'd be nothing worse
Speaker 2: than losing a potential parlay. And it be because of
Speaker 2: Scott's atisitude. Right, I don't know why I'm so mean
Speaker 2: about him, Like he's a nice man. He just I
Speaker 2: don't know what it was. Man, he lacked the statisticular
Speaker 2: fortitude I think at this position that you know at
Speaker 2: UL football that I just I guess that's what was it.
Speaker 6: The moment that in the press conferences he started saying things,
Speaker 6: whit we went to a bowl game?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no that No, you're right like that. Actually I
Speaker 2: wouldn't have thought of that right off top, but no,
Speaker 2: that's that's that's what really started to boil my blood
Speaker 2: about him, is that he would act as if we,
Speaker 2: like Louisville football, accomplished something special whenever quite literally anybody
Speaker 2: who's a fan would say, no, we're better than this.
Speaker 2: Like when he would acknowledge we went to a Bowl game,
Speaker 2: like I wanted to strangle the man. But I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, it's not personal. He just wasn't. He wasn't
Speaker 2: he wasn't built for this job. Not to say that
Speaker 2: this is like the best job in the country, but
Speaker 2: clearly the guy, I mean, he's just he's you know,
Speaker 2: he's soft. He saw what he did at midfield with
Speaker 2: Mark Stoops like that was that was embarrassing. But he
Speaker 2: did us a favor. He read the room. He didn't
Speaker 2: make him fire him. I mean, as much as we
Speaker 2: really owe cunning him the ad at at Cincinnati, I
Speaker 2: owe him everything. I mean, whatever he needs. If he
Speaker 2: called me, which he wouldn't, but if he ever got
Speaker 2: my number and he was like, hey, really in a
Speaker 2: jam here, Nick, can you do the unthinkable for me?
Speaker 2: I'd try to make it happen for him, because that's
Speaker 2: how much I appreciate him taking Scott Sadderfield off our hands,
Speaker 2: cutting us a three million dollar check for the try transaction,
Speaker 2: and then bring in the one, the only, Jeff Brohm
Speaker 2: home back to Louisville. So anyways, this weekend, here's what
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 3: John.
Speaker 2: I ended up going with I just we'll start with Thursday.
Speaker 2: We both lost on Thursday night. Yeah, and that was tough,
Speaker 2: but you know what happens, it's part of it. Well,
Speaker 2: then the next night, Friday, not a lot of great games, however,
Speaker 2: you know I got in on a couple of them.
Speaker 2: I did end up winning the fau bet because they
Speaker 2: ended up losing to Michigan State, but they did cover
Speaker 2: the plus twelve and a half. Then I got greedy.
Speaker 2: I took TCU minus eight and a half because I
Speaker 2: just expected them to be able to handle Stanford, who
Speaker 2: I forgot who they played at Stanford, and Stanford ended
Speaker 2: up losing, but it was you know, tc didn't cover,
Speaker 2: which was which was tough. And then I did one
Speaker 2: parlay and it was the two games I talked about
Speaker 2: Georgia free money.
Speaker 3: There, right, it was free money, but it's.
Speaker 2: Not free money when you parlay it with a dumb
Speaker 2: ass pick like I did Virginia Tech minus thirteen and
Speaker 2: a half. I mean they lost that game out right
Speaker 2: to Vandy. That I mean that. I was when that
Speaker 2: when I realized that was happening. This was, of course,
Speaker 2: during the Louisville game. I thought to myself, Nick, you
Speaker 2: don't deserve to bet the rest of the day.
Speaker 6: Take the day that parlayed UGA's cover with Indiana to
Speaker 6: go over in FI or Indiana and FI you should
Speaker 6: say to go over in that game, and that didn't happen.
Speaker 6: I'll take the Indiana cover, but they didn't go the
Speaker 6: over the wink.
Speaker 2: But you're probably still pleased because Indiana's defense look right
Speaker 2: seven points? Yeah, And isn't that like the best way
Speaker 2: to lose a bet? Like you never want to lose,
Speaker 2: but if it's because like your team overachieved compared to
Speaker 2: what you thought, like, that's it's kind of like not
Speaker 2: really losing, right you are, but you know you are,
Speaker 2: but you're not. And then silver Lining exactly perfectly said,
Speaker 2: So then I got Notre Dame plus three and a
Speaker 2: half that one hit, and then I ended up doing
Speaker 2: USC plus three and a half. That one ended up hitting,
Speaker 2: although they didn't look good for a while, but USC
Speaker 2: was able to pull out the victory. And then last night,
Speaker 2: I mean, I just did Boston College plus sixteen and
Speaker 2: a half and of course they won twenty eight thirteen overall.
Speaker 2: So you know, I can't claim that I put a
Speaker 2: lot of money in the account, but I did a
Speaker 2: lot of straight bets only one par la and you
Speaker 2: know it was it was a success. I would have
Speaker 2: probably enjoyed it a little bit more if there was
Speaker 2: a lot of money involved, but there wasn't. But that's okay,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: Like you see, money line was my big hit of
Speaker 6: the weekend. Nice saved me from being down a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what were they were they?
Speaker 3: Was it three and a half?
Speaker 2: It was three and a half when I got it,
Speaker 2: but I think it might have actually gone off closer
Speaker 2: to four or something like that. So yeah, good stuff.
Speaker 2: You got anything you're hot on yet or if you
Speaker 2: looked at the board for the upcoming.
Speaker 3: Observe the board too much yet.
Speaker 6: But I'll have some thoughts as we get Yeah, let's
Speaker 6: take an early look tomorrow at what we're going to
Speaker 6: be getting into because I mean football seasons here, baby,
Speaker 6: And it's not.
Speaker 3: An NFL parlays this week too, maybe not parlay.
Speaker 2: Now now you're getting me excited, John, Now I'm really
Speaker 2: ready to rock and roll here five o'clock hours next
Speaker 2: football seasons here, folks, it's coffee and company. If you're
Speaker 2: about Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety
