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: It really has been hard to keep up with in
Speaker 2: the last few days. Maybe some of it's because I
Speaker 2: was on vacation last week, but you know, I'm looking
Speaker 2: at the transfer portal as far as just the best
Speaker 2: players available, and a lot of good players that I
Speaker 2: knew were in the portal have committed and I, you know,
Speaker 2: I just missed it.
Speaker 3: Right now, the best player available is r. J.
Speaker 2: Luiz out of out of Saint John's who played for
Speaker 2: Rick Patino, which I don't know if you guys saw this,
Speaker 2: but he was binged in that game against Arkansas that
Speaker 2: you know led to Saint John's coming up short and
Speaker 2: missing the Sweet Sea despite being a two seed. But
Speaker 2: Rick Patino, you know, later came out and was like
Speaker 2: doubling down. Yes, the decision to bench him, bench him
Speaker 2: was the right decision.
Speaker 3: And R. J. Luiz did an interview I believe a
Speaker 3: lot of mean with Stephen A. Smith.
Speaker 2: I think that they talked about how, you know, he
Speaker 2: could have coached me up a little better. It's just again,
Speaker 2: these are things that you didn't used to see in
Speaker 2: college sports. But now the players have the power, and
Speaker 2: you know, they can get binged, to get mad and
Speaker 2: leaf and and you know, probably go get as much
Speaker 2: money from a different team. You know, the four years
Speaker 2: at four different schools thing. I mean, it's still I
Speaker 2: would say unlikely for most players. But I think that
Speaker 2: used to be looked at as a big red flag,
Speaker 2: and maybe it still is going to be looked at
Speaker 2: as a big red flag in the eyes of a
Speaker 2: lot of people. But I mean, if in fact, you
Speaker 2: get recruited over or you realize each step along the
Speaker 2: way you have played better, therefore you are able to
Speaker 2: make more money. Therefore you leave to make more money.
Speaker 2: How mean, I don't think that's a red flag. I
Speaker 2: think that's just that's what anybody would do at any
Speaker 2: other walk of life. And it's just it's just different, man,
Speaker 2: things have changed so much, all right. It's coffee and Company.
Speaker 2: Fiel Beuth Thorton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Appreciate

Speaker 3: Com what wasn't a? Strike just checked your?
Speaker 2: Swing, yep thank, you appreciate, you you, know keeping my
Speaker 2: confidence up BECAUSE i hate the slip, ups but they're gonna,
Speaker 2: happen AND i haven't had one in a, while but
Speaker 2: there it. Was and we have talked a lot about
Speaker 2: the early and they're really NOT i mean they're, early of,
Speaker 2: course but they're just, stupid like we can call. Them
Speaker 2: can we call them stupid and still reference them because
Speaker 2: or does that make? It you know that THAT'S i
Speaker 2: think that's clearly contradicting, ourselves right because the early, rankings
Speaker 2: they obviously are silly because nobody seems to know exactly
Speaker 2: who's going to be even on their. Team but the
Speaker 2: REASON i keep bringing them up is because around Here
Speaker 2: louisville basketball, SPECIFICALLY i, mean we haven't had it's been
Speaker 2: seven years roughly since there was a off season that
Speaker 2: you're you, know heading into the next season where there's
Speaker 2: real excitement and real, expectation and that's that's that's a good.
Speaker 3: Thing.
Speaker 2: Man it feels good to have. THAT i think we
Speaker 2: all know that If glova doesn't, deliver and if they
Speaker 2: don't actually play like a top, ten top five, team
Speaker 2: then you, know that's gonna. Suck i'm not even sure
Speaker 2: IF i believe they're top, five to be honest with,
Speaker 2: you But i'm excited to know that others that, objectively you,
Speaker 2: know cover this sport they think. THAT i, mean we
Speaker 2: should have a year next season that Both louisville And
Speaker 2: kentucky are both. Good and when's the last time we
Speaker 2: could say? THAT i guess you could say this, year
Speaker 2: but it just this year just FELT i, mean first of,
Speaker 2: all it felt great For louisville to be back and
Speaker 2: winning and all the joy that came with, it but
Speaker 2: like it was the honeymoon for, Me like they lost
Speaker 2: in the first, round and typically that would have killed,
Speaker 2: me especially if they ended up going eighteen to two
Speaker 2: in league, play and like in any other year them
Speaker 2: ended up getting an eight seed and losing in the
Speaker 2: first round to a team that shouldn't have been a
Speaker 2: nine seed When louis shouldn't have been an, EIGHT i
Speaker 2: would still probably be depressed about. That but, man the
Speaker 2: unexpected joy that we got from this group that was.
Speaker 2: Awesome it kind of made it to where it didn't
Speaker 2: impact HOW i viewed the. Season and that's WHY i
Speaker 2: kept trying in so many ways to emphasize that everything
Speaker 2: about this is almost like it'll never be possible again
Speaker 2: unless we go through what we went through with the previous,
Speaker 2: regime WHICH i have a hard time, thing and that'll
Speaker 2: ever happen, again even if we. TRIED i don't know
Speaker 2: why we would, try but LIKE i don't think you
Speaker 2: COULD i ever go through that. Again around, here all
Speaker 2: let's go back to THE volunesbo TWO s nine hundred
Speaker 2: is the. Number let's welcome In, Steve steve Youren sportstock seven.
Speaker 2: Ninety what's, happening, Hey?
Speaker 4: Nick how are you doing doing?
Speaker 3: Well get to hear from.
Speaker 4: YOU i hope you had a great trip To. Florida you,
Speaker 4: KNOW I i tell you two quick.
Speaker 5: THINGS i have to laugh a little. Bit venetti filled
Speaker 5: up to you for a couple of days last.
Speaker 4: Week oh what do you do talking? About he was
Speaker 4: just talking about when you, know when they were in
Speaker 4: The Orange, bowl that he And net went with the
Speaker 4: team and they were. THERE i can't believe this for
Speaker 4: AND i forgot about it for thirteen days at The
Speaker 4: Trump towers In, miami and he, said you, know The.
Speaker 5: Jurde group worked hard and played.
Speaker 3: Hard, oh, yeah they did.
Speaker 5: So but, anyway do you think there's Been josh has
Speaker 5: had his play full since he's been. Here but do
Speaker 5: you think there's been any movement at all on his
Speaker 5: part or anybody else to talk with THE ncaa a
Speaker 5: little more about rehanging the banner or do you think
Speaker 5: that's just such a low priority at this point that
Speaker 5: that's it's not gonna.
Speaker 2: Happen, STEVE i, UH i appreciate the. Call i'll say,
Speaker 2: THIS i don't Know josh really. Well in, FACT i
Speaker 2: don't know him. REALLY i don't really know him at.
Speaker 2: ALL i mean we are. ACQUAINTANCES i SUPPOSE i. BEN'T
Speaker 2: i don't think I'VE i don't Think i've told. This
Speaker 2: and it's not like it's some big. Deal but WHEN
Speaker 2: i went To pittsburgh with my family and we were
Speaker 2: able to get down on the court after the, game
Speaker 2: and and and mix my son and my nephew got
Speaker 2: to take pictures With Rayin smith and And Josh, Hurd,
Speaker 2: LIKE i chatted With josh, briefly and you, KNOW i
Speaker 2: had no clue what he you, know what he thought of,
Speaker 2: me and he might he might hate, ME i don't,
Speaker 2: know but he was kind to, me and it was
Speaker 2: more of those one of those things WHERE i felt, Like,
Speaker 2: okay you, know he understands. That LIKE i got a
Speaker 2: job to do BECAUSE i wasn't necessarily super hard on.
Speaker 2: HIM i just was really vocal and doing my job
Speaker 2: reacting to what, happened which which WHEN i say what,
Speaker 2: HAPPENED i MEAN i Mean Kenny. Payne so from WHAT
Speaker 2: i do know of, HIM i don't find him to
Speaker 2: be somebody that's going to be just aggressively pushing the.
Speaker 2: Now with that, Said i'm sure there's been some. Conversations
Speaker 2: at LEAST i, MEAN i, SAY i assume Maybe i'm,
Speaker 2: wrong but getting the banner back, Up i've always felt
Speaker 2: like eventually they'll Be they'll be a time when that,
Speaker 2: Happens BUT i don't really. KNOW i can't pinpoint what
Speaker 2: would lead to, it if that makes, sense, Right like
Speaker 2: it might just be a random day where they tell
Speaker 2: THE nc DOUBLE, a, hey we want to put the
Speaker 2: banner back up and see what they. SAY i, MEAN
Speaker 2: i know a lot of, folks myself, Included i'm not
Speaker 2: As i'm not as wrapped up into it because JUST
Speaker 2: i guess it's maybe my. PERSONALITY i don't go to
Speaker 2: The Young center and look up there and not see
Speaker 2: that banner and feel anyway BECAUSE i know that it,
Speaker 2: happened you know WHAT i, Mean LIKE i, DON'T i.
Speaker 3: DON'T i don't.
Speaker 2: Really get in any way bothered by what THE nc
Speaker 2: DOUBLE a technically claiming in their eyes that it didn't,
Speaker 2: Happen like it doesn't do any thing for.
Speaker 3: Me but that's just.
Speaker 2: Me As i've said, before when it comes to the
Speaker 2: players that played on that championship, TEAM i, mean getting
Speaker 2: the banner back, up it'll mean a lot to, them
Speaker 2: AND i totally understand, that but it won't actually change
Speaker 2: that in ten years if on a business trip or.
Speaker 2: Something Tim, henderson who's very, SUCCESSFUL i believe in the medical,
Speaker 2: field not as you, know a, doctor BUT i think
Speaker 2: it's uh, ANYWAYS i don't need to.
Speaker 3: Give his business out, there But tim super.
Speaker 2: Successful he's a family man, now and he of course
Speaker 2: he's a. Legend he's got a legendary role in that championship,
Speaker 2: season right what he did against which Toss state should
Speaker 2: never pay for a drink in this. Town So i'm
Speaker 2: sure he didn't get caught up in. It but like
Speaker 2: if he was on a business trip in ten years
Speaker 2: and he mentioned that he was on that twenty thirteen
Speaker 2: title team At, louisville wouldn't shock me if somebody, said, oh,
Speaker 2: yeah the one that they took. Away and unfortunately for these,
Speaker 2: guys there'll be some people that just you, know they
Speaker 2: follow the, cycle they don't follow it. Closely they, think, oh,
Speaker 2: yeah how many strippers did you? Get like that's, awful
Speaker 2: but that's probably not. Changing if the banner goes up or,
Speaker 2: not like the damage has been done for. That that doesn't
Speaker 2: mean they shouldn't put it back. Up but as a,
Speaker 2: fan for, me it doesn't ever even come, up and
Speaker 2: it doesn't even ever enter my brain that we got
Speaker 2: to get that banner buck damn. It for the, players
Speaker 2: the damage has been, done but still having it back
Speaker 2: up would be something THAT i would. Imagine they all
Speaker 2: want to happen in a major, way and if they
Speaker 2: fight for, IT i totally get.
Speaker 3: It so you, KNOW i, DON'T i.
Speaker 2: DON'T i don't think about it a whole, Lot BUT
Speaker 2: i don't ever want anybody to think, that like who?
Speaker 2: Cares because you, know for those players it does mean
Speaker 2: something and it's. AWFUL i, mean, again the damage has been.
Speaker 2: Done there's no way to fix. This but like there
Speaker 2: are people who from you, know thousands of miles. Away
Speaker 2: they just know of the story and think that and
Speaker 2: think That louisville was able to win A like they're
Speaker 2: reading headlines here and there over the years as that
Speaker 2: story was. Covered they probably in their minds think That
Speaker 2: louisville won a national championship because of prostitutes in a dorm.
Speaker 3: Room and that's it's.
Speaker 2: PREPOSTEROUS i, Mean louisville gained no competitive, advantage and the
Speaker 2: guys who were on that team that won a national,
Speaker 2: championship for the most, part nearly all of them had
Speaker 2: nothing to do with any of that at. All so,
Speaker 2: AGAIN i hate that for those. Guys there's nothing you
Speaker 2: can do about. It but the banner going back up
Speaker 2: won't really change. That so answer your, Question, STEVE i
Speaker 2: would say it's probably not a top priority for her
Speaker 2: just because of a lot going. On and let's be,
Speaker 2: honest there was just a recent change in. Administration there's
Speaker 2: now a new president at the. School AND i don't
Speaker 2: THINK i missed something WHEN i was on. Vacation MAYBE i.
Speaker 2: Did we never really found.
Speaker 3: Out why that.
Speaker 2: HAPPENED i don't think Where President chatzil just. Left it
Speaker 2: was very very, odd and maybe there was something reported
Speaker 2: on it AND i just missed. It but, ANYWAYS i
Speaker 2: would answer you, QUESTION i would SAY i don't think
Speaker 2: it's a, priority BUT i do think he's well aware
Speaker 2: of how much it means to the. Fans he's well
Speaker 2: aware of what it would do for the community to,
Speaker 2: just you, know know, that despite the NCAA's, nonsense we
Speaker 2: now have that banner hanging back up where it belongs
Speaker 2: in THE ump. Center SO i just think it's GONNA
Speaker 2: i feel like for that to, happen there needs to
Speaker 2: be some kind of a some kind of a shift
Speaker 2: some kind of a some kind of a challenge to
Speaker 2: THE nc DOUBLE, a letting them know that they don't
Speaker 2: have the ability to claim that louisll because, Again louisville
Speaker 2: can still claim that the the national. Champions and if
Speaker 2: THE nc DOUBLE a like Told louisville you, can't and
Speaker 2: Then louisville did hang the banner back, up what would they?
Speaker 3: Do? Right? LIKE i, MEAN i don't know what they
Speaker 3: would be able to.
Speaker 2: Do, However louisville is, not and understandably, so in a
Speaker 2: position where they should just challenge them like.
Speaker 3: THAT i, mean if they, DID i wouldn't be bothered by.
Speaker 2: It BUT i also understand professional etiquette to just, say,
Speaker 2: like let's we've had some issues on our, end let's
Speaker 2: not you, Know And i'll say THIS nbla. Sucks they've
Speaker 2: never been consistent with how they rule on. Things and,
Speaker 2: they you, know like the way in which they just
Speaker 2: decided the nature of what went on In Minority hall that,
Speaker 2: alone there's no punishment too severe for, you because it's
Speaker 2: just how heinous that. Is so that's just the way
Speaker 2: they viewed. It they didn't even follow their own process
Speaker 2: to Punish. Louisville so, AGAIN i hate. Them they don't
Speaker 2: really serve any purpose.
Speaker 3: Anymore we all know.
Speaker 2: That, HOWEVER i also as a, fan don't really Like
Speaker 2: louisville being the school that is just like always known
Speaker 2: for saying double birds to THE NC, doublea WHICH i
Speaker 2: don't think we have and we broke rules we. TOOK i,
Speaker 2: mean in, fact we are one of the schools that
Speaker 2: did cooperate and learn the hard way that they didn't
Speaker 2: get you. Anything in, fact we're probably the best example
Speaker 2: of why you shouldn't cooperate with THE NC.
Speaker 3: Doublea So.
Speaker 2: Rick, PATINO i Know crawford had a really good piece
Speaker 2: last week WHEN i was on vacation About patino WINNING
Speaker 2: i think it was a share of The National coach
Speaker 2: of The year and saying that that like that should
Speaker 2: be like THE NC. Doublea and it's not an instab,
Speaker 2: AWARD i don't, think but basically something Along AND i
Speaker 2: WISH i didn't get a chance to Read eric's peace
Speaker 2: And i'm sure it was great because he's. Great but,
Speaker 2: YEAH i, mean if we found out like next week
Speaker 2: that THE NC doublea is not going to Stop louisville
Speaker 2: or punish them if they hang their banner back, up
Speaker 2: would not shock me at. ALL i just don't know
Speaker 2: what's gonna what's going to happen for that to present, itself,
Speaker 2: RIGHT i, mean they could just do it and not
Speaker 2: say anything and see if they. Noticed like, honestly that's
Speaker 2: not a crazy thing that they're out, there, right like
Speaker 2: THE NC, DOUBLEA i don't know if you got AND, i Like,
Speaker 2: austin you may know this Was louisville a part of
Speaker 2: The One Shining moment, before like since the twenty thirteen
Speaker 2: or maybe when the One shining, moment but like the,
Speaker 2: LIKE i was watching the championship game On monday, nine
Speaker 2: AND i don't know.
Speaker 3: If it was.
Speaker 2: Right it was right before the game they were showing
Speaker 2: like you, know highlights and moments from other championship games,
Speaker 2: yea and they Showed louisville holding up their. Trophy and
Speaker 2: WHAT i don't know is that is that? New have
Speaker 2: they been doing that since they were it was technically.
Speaker 3: Taken that's a great question because the, Package, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Exactly so there's a part of me that, says, oh,
Speaker 2: WOW i guess they're now acknowledging That louisville won a,
Speaker 2: title but maybe they've been doing. It AND i just
Speaker 2: didn't notice because the first THING i thought of WHEN i,
Speaker 2: saw because you, know it's the NCAA's, product meaning THE nsaba,
Speaker 2: tournament AND i don't know it, is but it's not
Speaker 2: Right TURNER. Cbs they pay a billion dollars to have
Speaker 2: the the broadcast rights for, that and they can monetize
Speaker 2: it and sell. Advertising so you, know, like if If
Speaker 2: turner's gonna pay them that much, money especially when their
Speaker 2: future seems so much in, question meaning the nc DOUBLE,
Speaker 2: A i doubt they're going to be barking at their
Speaker 2: their big client that is spending a lot of money
Speaker 2: with them to tell, them, hey you need to Remove
Speaker 2: louisville from this. Montage so It's i'm sure it means,
Speaker 2: nothing but if they put it back, up THE nabaa
Speaker 2: may hear about it and think like we got, way because,
Speaker 2: honestly what priority is that right? Now for the INSTABLE
Speaker 2: a they're trying to figure out how they're gonna survive
Speaker 2: with the house settlement and all that kind of. Stuff
Speaker 2: are you you're you somebody that's bothered by the banner,
Speaker 2: Thing AND i shouldn't even ask it like, that because,
Speaker 2: yeah it's stupid that it's not there BUT i just
Speaker 2: mean more, so LIKE i don't feel any way different
Speaker 2: about that experience of twenty thirteen because of.
Speaker 6: That it was really a tender, feeling like when it
Speaker 6: all first, happened THEN i grew up and got over
Speaker 6: it and then, realized LIKE i, mean if anyone else
Speaker 6: said it was just it was just used for fodder
Speaker 6: from like rival, fans LIKE uk, fans anyone that we
Speaker 6: would yell at as just a basically a conversation piece
Speaker 6: to what about that?
Speaker 3: BANNER i don't.
Speaker 6: KNOW i mean there are some times WHEN i get
Speaker 6: to The Young center and look up, THERE i know what,
Speaker 6: happened but not seeing it's kind of, like, eh BUT
Speaker 6: i don't. Know i'm JUST i would like to see it,
Speaker 6: back but like it it doesn't eat me alive that
Speaker 6: we don't have it.
Speaker 2: Still, YEAH i, mean it JUST i don't feel again
Speaker 2: any any way different about. It But i'm Just i'm
Speaker 2: just a, fan you know WHAT i, Mean like if
Speaker 2: you're a, player Like i'm sure it is a big
Speaker 2: deal to.
Speaker 3: You, YEAH i.
Speaker 6: WAS i MEAN i was absolutely crushed devastated when it
Speaker 6: originally got taken, away and then it's it's not the
Speaker 6: it's not the same. Anymore but AND i just know
Speaker 6: with everything that's going on with THE nc DOUBLE, a
Speaker 6: how how spineless they can, be and how like not
Speaker 6: so great luck they've had.
Speaker 3: It they just do whatever they, want, Lawsuit they don't
Speaker 3: have any real.
Speaker 2: Structure they do whatever they. Want and you, know just
Speaker 2: tell you that that Because.
Speaker 6: I've always just, said you, know at THE NC, doublea
Speaker 6: go fight them, back go put it.
Speaker 3: Up what are they gonna?
Speaker 2: Do, Yeah SO I i WISH i had a better
Speaker 2: answer for. You but as far as The Josh herd,
Speaker 2: COMPONENT i don't think it is and should be like
Speaker 2: a major priority for him right. Now BUT i also
Speaker 2: don't think that he is unaware of how special it
Speaker 2: would be and it will be one BECAUSE i still
Speaker 2: believe it will be back at some. POINT i, do
Speaker 2: but when and what leads to, IT i don't really.
Speaker 2: Know all, right let's get to a. Break we'll come
Speaker 2: back on the other. Side he got an update on
Speaker 2: one of the transfers in the portal fighting for another.
Speaker 2: Year there's a lot of speculation that he would be
Speaker 2: a real. Fit maybe a lock To louisville doesn't appear that,
Speaker 2: way so we'll get into.
Speaker 3: That, Also cooper.
Speaker 2: Fly will he do the unthinkable and return to college
Speaker 2: for another? SEASON i still don't think he, will but
Speaker 2: we've certainly never been at this point where you can
Speaker 2: at least say that it's not crazy because he seemed
Speaker 2: to really enjoy himself At. Duke he can make a
Speaker 2: ton of. Money he'll still be AN nba first pick
Speaker 2: no matter what. Happens and, yeah he could get, hurt
Speaker 2: but that won't Like Cooper flag could get hurt and
Speaker 2: it won't impact his drapstock right like he'd still be
Speaker 2: number one even if you get. Hurt all right, again
Speaker 2: quick break will come back on the other, side keep
Speaker 2: it rolling. Along it's coffee and, company and we are
Speaker 2: feel About thornton's right here On SportsTalk seven Ninety.
Speaker 1: Now back to coffee And, company fueled By thornton's On
Speaker 1: Sports talk seven nine.
Speaker 2: Day you, know we've had some sunshine in the last
Speaker 2: couple of, days AND i Mean i'm not near an
Speaker 2: area directly That I'M i see, flooding so, again out of,
Speaker 2: side out of, mind but we are still dealing with some, real,
Speaker 2: awful awful flooding despite not having any new, rain because
Speaker 2: as they say that the water's rising and it's, UH
Speaker 2: i mean just some of the visuals LIKE i saw,
Speaker 2: earlier it might have been one of our one of
Speaker 2: our partners over, there W O K y that that,
Speaker 2: was that was on one of those.
Speaker 3: Like tube boats boat tubes if you know What i'm talking.
Speaker 2: About that, uh was just going to rescue somebody and
Speaker 2: it's like they're just floating along in what seems to,
Speaker 2: be you, know a, river AND i guess technically it,
Speaker 2: is but like it's it's also places that you, know
Speaker 2: not even that long, AGO i was walking around downtown
Speaker 2: near the. Water now it's you, know it's just. Wild
Speaker 2: how uh how this thing is has has turned into
Speaker 2: what it's turned. Into but the latest here this is,
Speaker 2: uh this is a live update THAT wdrb is doing
Speaker 2: that as of a four point, thirty the latest update
Speaker 2: was THAT fema has a Mobile Emergency response unit here
Speaker 2: In louisville on the. Ground and this is After President
Speaker 2: trump signed a disaster declaration For kentucky that covers last
Speaker 2: weeks of course tornadoes and flooding that has followed into
Speaker 2: this week and led to a, real real awful. Situation
Speaker 2: and you, know the Bullet county And i'm not just
Speaker 2: mentioning that because that's Where i'm. From i'm also mentioning
Speaker 2: it because you, know it's one of the worst. AREAS
Speaker 2: i mean that The Salt river there In. SHEPHERDSVILLE i,
Speaker 2: mean it's just it's a KNOWN i, mean if you're
Speaker 2: from the. Area you didn't really have to.
Speaker 3: Be from the.
Speaker 2: Area maybe you just have lived around here long enough
Speaker 2: to know that when you get a lot of, rain
Speaker 2: like you're very vulnerable to get.
Speaker 3: Flooded. There it's a flood.
Speaker 2: Zone But i've Never i've lived here a long, Time
Speaker 2: i've never seen it this. BAD i, MEAN i saw
Speaker 2: some aerial footage FROM i guess somebody flying a drone
Speaker 2: might have been a news team that was doing something
Speaker 2: that really just you, know it's almost insane to. See
Speaker 2: so Uh and also you know that leading to the,
Speaker 2: club the thunder of A louisville getting, CANCELED i don't,
Speaker 2: know we talked about it earlier this. Week that's not
Speaker 2: just a big bummer because of you, know we don't
Speaker 2: get a fireworks show or an air. SHOW i, mean
Speaker 2: that's big for the, economy and it's gonna be a
Speaker 2: BIT i mean like, that that's a big. Deal SO i,
Speaker 2: mean it's nothing you can do about. It AND i
Speaker 2: guess more than, ANYTHING i just need to remind myself
Speaker 2: how fortunate that that we, are because you, know we
Speaker 2: we've been you, know we've been.
Speaker 3: Fine we've had no real. Issue and and AND i
Speaker 3: know a lot of others have had.
Speaker 2: Devastation in, fact there was a body pulled from a
Speaker 2: vehicle that was submerged underwater in the Lebon injunction area
Speaker 2: Of Bullet county. Yesterday and you, KNOW i think you
Speaker 2: always know when it's this, dangerous that like that kind
Speaker 2: of stuff could. Happen but just to like know that
Speaker 2: SOMEBODY i guess was maybe trying to get to their
Speaker 2: vehicle or maybe in their vehicle asleep or, whatever and
Speaker 2: and and, IT i mean that that's that's a tragic.
Speaker 2: Situation And i'm sure there's many people that have flooded
Speaker 2: homes that maybe they didn't have insurance or maybe they
Speaker 2: lost more than just, valuables they lost things that like
Speaker 2: they'll never get. Back that, was you, know something that they.
Speaker 2: Cherished so sad situation.
Speaker 3: All the way.
Speaker 2: Around And i've heard a couple of folks that and
Speaker 2: this would be a REAL i, mean this would this would.
Speaker 2: Suck they were trying to get into their house to you,
Speaker 2: know who was it it?
Speaker 3: Was it was it was a mutual.
Speaker 2: Friend it was a friend of a friend's who WHO i.
Speaker 2: Heard and AGAIN i could JUST i could see this
Speaker 2: happening to, us and it would be terrible that they lost.
Speaker 2: Power and they were coming back from spring, break so
Speaker 2: they're getting back to try to to to you, know
Speaker 2: keep the keep the their, basement their house from, flooding
Speaker 2: and because they lost, power they couldn't get in their.
Speaker 3: Garage here's what it.
Speaker 2: Was they, were they were, gone so they were trying
Speaker 2: to have somebody go to their house TO i, guess you,
Speaker 2: know remove things as best they could to prepare the.
Speaker 3: Basement or maybe the home for being.
Speaker 2: Underwater and they were out traveling for spring, break so
Speaker 2: they had a, key but they have a garage code
Speaker 2: for people to get. In, well because there's no, electricity
Speaker 2: you've lost, power the garage opener doesn't, work so like
Speaker 2: they could nobody could get in unless they like broke.
Speaker 2: In And i'm not sure if they end up doing
Speaker 2: that or, not BUT i, Mean i've had my basement
Speaker 2: flood a couple of, times and it's it's not, fun
Speaker 2: not fun at.
Speaker 1: All.
Speaker 6: YEAH i actually drove by what was going towards uh
Speaker 6: WHAT i was going out towards owen Or Owensboro Brownsboro
Speaker 6: road yesterday at A world a, beer just driving on seventy
Speaker 6: one out that way and just seeing literally Like i've
Speaker 6: never seen anything like.
Speaker 3: That i've yet to see.
Speaker 2: It but my friend text me that said the same thing,
Speaker 2: today that if you drive like, right and if you're
Speaker 2: driving either west or east on seventy one sixty four
Speaker 2: kind of near the New Lynn Family, Stadium, yeah and
Speaker 2: you look out of the river like it's it's like
Speaker 2: something you've never seen.
Speaker 3: Before And i'm sure it's getting close to doing it.
Speaker 3: Here maybe it. HASN'T i just haven't seen.
Speaker 2: It but THE i don't know, why but The cincinnati
Speaker 2: footage and pictures that's ALL i see on my. Timeline
Speaker 2: and to show that on the first there's an aerial
Speaker 2: LIKE i guess a camera, that's you, know somewhere downtown
Speaker 2: In cincinnati showed just a view of the river on
Speaker 2: the first Of april last week and then today and
Speaker 2: to see how close the water is to like their main.
Speaker 2: BRIDGE i, mean that really puts in perspective how much
Speaker 2: the waters has.
Speaker 3: Risen and THEN.
Speaker 2: I also see Houses and this isn't a criticism or,
Speaker 2: anything BUT i also see houses in certain areas And
Speaker 2: i'm sure just it's how bad this flood. Is But i'm,
Speaker 2: thinking how could you live there and have not had
Speaker 2: a previous issue, Before, LIKE i know this is different,
Speaker 2: level but like your house is, underwater AND i don't mean,
Speaker 2: laugh but, like you, know there's a reason that people
Speaker 2: try to avoid homes that are in a flood zone
Speaker 2: because this Is that's why they have flood. Zones that's why,
Speaker 2: this that's why this is the. Thing so, hopefully you,
Speaker 2: know this water goes down and goes away and we
Speaker 2: get less rain and more sunshine and warm weather, too
Speaker 2: BECAUSE i don't like this cold.
Speaker 3: Stuff kind of.
Speaker 6: NERVOUS i actually haven't went down and looked at my.
Speaker 6: Basement it's not a. Basement it's more or less like
Speaker 6: A i don't even, know like a. Dweller is that
Speaker 6: what you want to call?
Speaker 2: It, yeah, WELL i GUESS i THINK i know exactly
Speaker 2: what you're talking, about BUT i would not know what
Speaker 2: to call.
Speaker 6: It it's like a small room where like the hot
Speaker 6: water heater is is the not the. Age it's the
Speaker 6: lowest level of your. Home, yeah, yeah there's sub pump down.
Speaker 6: There SO i haven't looked down there in like the last,
Speaker 6: week BUT i know where sub pumps work in over,
Speaker 6: time we actually, yeah that replaced probably about two months.
Speaker 6: Ago shout out to my. Brothers, hey he shout. Out
Speaker 6: they hooked it. Up he gets in those cross. Spaces
Speaker 6: he does like heating and cooling and stuff like. That
Speaker 6: So i'm going to give a shout out. Too MY
Speaker 6: i guess what would he?
Speaker 2: Be he is my my step or, no he's my
Speaker 2: grandmother in law is significant, other so my wife's grandmother's.
Speaker 2: Boyfriend his name Is jeane and he's a great man
Speaker 2: and my kids call him big. G he he. WAS
Speaker 2: i Dropped maya off there. YESTERDAY i think it was
Speaker 2: because they're helping us out because there's no school and you,
Speaker 2: know we got to work and he was. Taught he
Speaker 2: made a good point because you, know he's got a
Speaker 2: lot of. Wisdom he's an older man that you're you're some,
Speaker 2: pumped even if it's relatively new right, now you got
Speaker 2: to think about the the you, know the work it's
Speaker 2: going through in the last.
Speaker 3: Week so like you might like you.
Speaker 2: MIGHT i don't know how you can even service those,
Speaker 2: things AND i don't know how you can you, know get,
Speaker 2: THEM i, mean you can replace, them but you may
Speaker 2: want to consider if yours was maybe not relatively, new
Speaker 2: you might want to think about replacing it sooner than
Speaker 2: you than you probably would think you'd need, to because,
Speaker 2: again the amount of a repetition that that thing has
Speaker 2: gone through is PROBABLY i mean it's probably more work
Speaker 2: than it's ever gone. Through and that can that can
Speaker 2: it can take one that's relatively new and make it
Speaker 2: ancient and maybe susceptible to breaking and not, working which
Speaker 2: again would be a real big. Disaster and that's another
Speaker 2: thing when you lose power sometimes not working.
Speaker 3: And you in your, story yeah it's a. Disaster that sounds.
Speaker 6: Terrible, well ALL i just know is WHEN i pull
Speaker 6: up to my, HOUSE i can see the trail of
Speaker 6: water that's gone down the street strictly from our.
Speaker 3: HOUSE i, mean, YES i mean investments, working all, Right
Speaker 3: so we talked about this young man was not a young.
Speaker 2: Man he's a grown, man and Brosovich uh throughout the
Speaker 2: week here and there because he, is he's claiming that
Speaker 2: the five year rule unfairly blocks him from earning a
Speaker 2: lot of money this. Year so he's the guy that
Speaker 2: played one YEAR d, two three YEARS d one and
Speaker 2: he's suing THE ncaa claiming that their rule keeps him
Speaker 2: from making a lot of money and he wouldn't he
Speaker 2: would have been able to make, WELL i don't, KNOW
Speaker 2: i DON'T i don't know the timeline of, it but
Speaker 2: he's arguing he should be able to play at least
Speaker 2: one more year because he didn't get four years at
Speaker 2: THE d one. LEVEL i think this lawsuit is going
Speaker 2: to be tough to win because the reason That juko
Speaker 2: won past is because.
Speaker 3: It's IT'S i, MEAN i get.
Speaker 2: It it sounds crazy because it's the way it's always.
Speaker 2: Been but THE ncuba claiming that you're only entitled to
Speaker 2: two years of eligibility if you WENT juco doesn't REALLY
Speaker 2: i mean, again it sounds like you shouldn't be a
Speaker 2: twenty four year old senior because you had to GO
Speaker 2: juco two. Years, WELL i hear, you but technically they're
Speaker 2: claiming that you use two years of eligibility that was
Speaker 2: not within their organization because THE juco schools are not
Speaker 2: underneath the NC doublea they're their own. Thing, well his
Speaker 2: argument here is THAT d, two but THE NCAA d
Speaker 2: two is still the same. LEVEL i don't know if
Speaker 2: he's gona win or, not but there's a lot of
Speaker 2: thought that this could be a big deal For louisville
Speaker 2: because this guy played For chris mackin was really really,
Speaker 2: successful and he decided to. Stay i'm sorry he. Played
Speaker 2: he did play For chris mack last year and he
Speaker 2: was really. Successful but he also played For Pat kelsey
Speaker 2: for two years At charleston where he Won player of
Speaker 2: The year in that. League but the latest report is
Speaker 2: That louisville.
Speaker 3: Is not even one of the.
Speaker 2: SCHOOLS i, mean you never know what to believe when
Speaker 2: it comes to portal and. Whatnot But louisville is not
Speaker 2: one of the thirty schools that's listed for, him which
Speaker 2: tells me that he's expensive and it makes. Sense, look
Speaker 2: he's he's probably going to get a million or one
Speaker 2: point five from. Somebody the report is That clemson offered
Speaker 2: him one point, five and you, KNOW i don't know
Speaker 2: if there's other schools That i'll offer That louisville probably
Speaker 2: wouldn't and, shouldn't so you know it even If louisville's
Speaker 2: not in the, mix which it doesn't look like they.
Speaker 2: ARE i still think, this this whole lawsuit with this
Speaker 2: young man is something to keep an eye on because if,
Speaker 2: he if he somehow wins this lawsuit and they claim
Speaker 2: or they say he's able to play one more, year
Speaker 2: you have opened up the. Floodgates MAYBE i shouldn't use
Speaker 2: that considering the recency of our situation around, here but like,
Speaker 2: that that is going to have so many players of
Speaker 2: THE d two level or guys like him that were
Speaker 2: out of eligibility that spend a YEAR d two OR
Speaker 2: d three that are going to get a blanket waiver
Speaker 2: if he, wins and that that's going to give you
Speaker 2: a whole new batch of players available to to go
Speaker 2: play college. Basketball AND i, just you, know part of
Speaker 2: me says his his argument doesn't. Stick, however seems like
Speaker 2: if you see THE ntaba right, now you got a
Speaker 2: good chance of. Winning they don't seem to be winning
Speaker 2: much in. Court and, Look louisville could absolutely use.
Speaker 3: Him he's a good.
Speaker 2: Player but my guess is that they're probably prioritizing their
Speaker 2: their budget for maybe where they could get a, couple
Speaker 2: maybe three players with what he's going to cost as one,
Speaker 2: player and you, Know i'm sure it wasn't cheap to
Speaker 2: Get Javon hadley, Back and AS i talked about, EARLIER i.
Speaker 2: DON'T i think whatever it, costs that was money well
Speaker 2: spent because he gives you something that you. Need you
Speaker 2: wouldn't have, been you, know dead without. Him but, man
Speaker 2: he's a captain that's coming back then understands the. Culture
Speaker 2: that's he's a grown, up and he's gonna be the
Speaker 2: Gree he's gonna be a great leader for guys Like
Speaker 2: Sonny frew and mckail brown who are true.
Speaker 3: Freshmen SO i, Mean i'm, like here's the.
Speaker 2: Thing if you take a commitment from, him, like he's
Speaker 2: kind of screwed because he needs to Get he needs
Speaker 2: to get he needs to get clarity if he's going
Speaker 2: to have a chance to win or. Not because if
Speaker 2: your school recruiting him and you've got money tied up
Speaker 2: and then you find out in three weeks that he didn't,
Speaker 2: win there's money that you could have spent on other
Speaker 2: players that have since already committed other.
Speaker 3: Schools it's such a. Mess all, right quick, Break we'll
Speaker 3: come back on the other. Side keep it locked right.
Speaker 2: Here we'll wrap it up here on the other, SIDE
Speaker 2: i should say On Sports talk seven.
Speaker 1: Ninety now back to coffee and, company fueled By thornton's
Speaker 1: On Sports talk seven nine, day.
Speaker 2: Before we get out of, here you guys need to
Speaker 2: know once again about all the great things that The
Speaker 2: Little Men's clinic can provide for. You, Fellas i'm telling
Speaker 2: you you're missing. Out it's at least worth giving him
Speaker 2: a call and having a. Conversation going and see Doctor
Speaker 2: wood to see if you, know Because i'm sure there
Speaker 2: are a lot of you that Think i'm, Fine i'm,
Speaker 2: Good i'm A marin and, look you may be good to.
Speaker 2: Go you may feel like you know things are, okay
Speaker 2: but you could probably feel better if your testosterone levels
Speaker 2: are off and you may not even know, it because
Speaker 2: you may not even know what that. MEANS i, didn't
Speaker 2: AND i later, Realized, okay some of the Things i'm
Speaker 2: dealing with, fatigue just mental, fog no longer getting the
Speaker 2: same results out of. WORKOUTS i just chalked it up to,
Speaker 2: age and it. Wasn't it was because my testosterone levels
Speaker 2: started to decrease AS i got, older and now they're
Speaker 2: where they should be BECAUSE i get testosterone treatment from
Speaker 2: the lot Of Men's clinic and can't think them, enough
Speaker 2: can't recommend them.
Speaker 3: Enough they can help you with.
Speaker 2: That they can also help with the rectile, Disfunction peroni's,
Speaker 2: disease weight loss, therapy hair. Restoration so they do it
Speaker 2: all and they've been around for over ten. YEARS a
Speaker 2: lot of imitators have come and, gone and they're not
Speaker 2: able to survive because they can't quite. Compete they don't
Speaker 2: really have competition with The Little Men's clinic because they're
Speaker 2: that good at what they. Do check them out Online
Speaker 2: Little Men's clinic dot com or give them a. CALL
Speaker 2: fabu two four four four four. Thousand all, Right so
Speaker 2: it's been Something i've referenced throughout the show and not
Speaker 2: really talked a whole lot about.
Speaker 3: It but With Cooper, flag you, know.
Speaker 2: One of the things THAT i believe is mentioned when
Speaker 2: the thought of him coming back is put out there
Speaker 2: as a real you, know something that could happen is
Speaker 2: the thought, of, well he may not want to go
Speaker 2: to a disastrous. FRANCHISE i, mean THE Nba draft lottery
Speaker 2: hasn't happened, yet BUT i, mean let's just look at
Speaker 2: who who has The, yeah let's see this is this
Speaker 2: is an updated story here From Yahoo sports from. Yesterday
Speaker 2: so the team with the MOST i guess there's three
Speaker 2: teams currently that have the best percentage chance of as of,
Speaker 2: now to land the first, pick and that's The, jazz The,
Speaker 2: wizards and The.
Speaker 3: Hornets fourth is The.
Speaker 2: Pelicans fifth is the seventy six, ers but their, top
Speaker 2: their first round pick is top six. Protected if it
Speaker 2: falls between seven and, fourteen it's going to go To Oklahoma,
Speaker 2: City which how about That Oklahoma city has been just
Speaker 2: absolutely finessing the league when it comes to roster management
Speaker 2: on the cheapest a small market. Team but that's a
Speaker 2: story for another. Day BUT i, mean you Won't Cooper
Speaker 2: flags might have to make his decision before he ends,
Speaker 2: up you, know, deciding you, know he before he's gonna
Speaker 2: know who would be getting him at number, One SO i,
Speaker 2: don't you, know go into D. C i, mean that
Speaker 2: wouldn't be a bad. Destination that's a terrible, franchise but
Speaker 2: like it's it's a good, market but him ending up
Speaker 2: In like if you if you know ahead.
Speaker 3: Of time.
Speaker 2: That the most likely destinations for you Are, utah let's
Speaker 2: let's put it, this, well let's just let's because, again
Speaker 2: it could BE dc and it wouldn't be. Terrible it
Speaker 2: could Be philly and it would be terrible if they
Speaker 2: end up getting number. Five but the other likely, OPTION
Speaker 2: i shouldn't say, likely but the other the other cities
Speaker 2: and franchises with the best chance of getting him would Be, Utah,
Speaker 2: Charlotte New, Orleans, toronto In San. Antonio those are five
Speaker 2: of like the eight teams that have the best chance.
Speaker 3: That.
Speaker 2: THAT i, MEAN i Think Zion williamson maybe he's got
Speaker 2: his own issues as to why he ended, up you,
Speaker 2: know why his careers ended up being way it.
Speaker 3: Is but LIKE i.
Speaker 2: Knew it was such a punch to the gut When
Speaker 2: zion went To New orleans because, like that's such an
Speaker 2: irrelevant franchise in a small. Market New orleans is a known,
Speaker 2: city but it's not a big market compared to. OTHERS i,
Speaker 2: MEAN i don't really know IF i had, to IF
Speaker 2: i If i'm A Cooper flag fan AND i wanted,
Speaker 2: to you, know see him thrive in a in a
Speaker 2: in a certain, SPOT i, Mean, philly D, C, brooklyn
Speaker 2: Maybe phoenix like those those would be, Interesting, Miami, chicago
Speaker 2: like these are teams that are likely going to be
Speaker 2: drafting in the. Lottery but the issue is that if
Speaker 2: you come back to, school there's a good chance that
Speaker 2: like the same teams are going to be available to pick.
Speaker 2: You SO i don't think it's as much about like
Speaker 2: where he ends. UP i think he may just not
Speaker 2: be in a rush to get to THE, nba and
Speaker 2: and to be, Honest duke may have a war chest
Speaker 2: of money that, like he could literally have all these
Speaker 2: endorsements which he already has and make more money in
Speaker 2: his first year in one, year more year Of duke
Speaker 2: than he does in his first year in THE. NBA i,
Speaker 2: MEAN i still think he comes, back but it's just
Speaker 2: crazy that it's not as crazy of a thing to
Speaker 2: throw out there as it once.
Speaker 3: Was All, right we're out of. TIME i hope you enjoyed.
Speaker 2: Yourself we're back at it, tomorrow right here at three
Speaker 2: o'clock On Sports talk seven ninety
