00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:28.239
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven to nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.

3
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:31.960
<v Speaker 2>As we've completed two of the three hours of this

4
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:34.840
<v Speaker 2>radio program, it is it has dawned on me that

5
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:39.159
<v Speaker 2>I have talked very little about what happened on Saturday

6
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:45.240
<v Speaker 2>at LNN Cardinal Stadium. And I'm sorry. I'm sure you

7
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.359
<v Speaker 2>could sense that that didn't seem super sincere. It's because

8
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think people expect, well, the football season

9
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.159
<v Speaker 2>actually started, Louisville football actually played a real game. It's

10
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.399
<v Speaker 2>here they beat the hell out of their opponent, Austin

11
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.359
<v Speaker 2>P sixty two to nothing, and that and that is awesome.

12
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:03.920
<v Speaker 2>It's just like, I don't you know, we had the

13
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:05.519
<v Speaker 2>postgame show. By the way, for those of you that

14
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.560
<v Speaker 2>missed that, you could actually go check out the podcast.

15
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:10.480
<v Speaker 2>But again, when you play Austin P and you went

16
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:12.519
<v Speaker 2>sixty two to nothing, it's really just I mean, it's

17
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:14.760
<v Speaker 2>what you're supposed to do. Doesn't mean I can't give

18
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:18.519
<v Speaker 2>some accolades and some praise out there to Tyler Shuck,

19
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:23.079
<v Speaker 2>who was damn You're perfect. Eighteen to twenty four, two

20
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.519
<v Speaker 2>hundred and thirty two yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions. I mean,

21
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:31.400
<v Speaker 2>he was sensational. Tied Nagel's record for most touchdowns in

22
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 2>a debut performance, and he could have had a lot more.

23
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.760
<v Speaker 2>And he just you know, he's got some confidence about

24
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:39.799
<v Speaker 2>him that you know you would have when you're playing

25
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:42.359
<v Speaker 2>that well against that kind of an opponent. Obviously, I'd

26
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.680
<v Speaker 2>love to see this guy when Louisville's playing a better team,

27
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.719
<v Speaker 2>but you know we won't. We won't get there until

28
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.519
<v Speaker 2>Georgia Tech, which is, you know, not far away at all,

29
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Speaker 2>it's next week. But my point is this, I just

30
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.640
<v Speaker 2>it's not like I'm not wanting to talk about what

31
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.040
<v Speaker 2>was encouraging. It's just when I don't really when I

32
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:03.599
<v Speaker 2>have a tough time knowing what to take from it, Meaning,

33
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:08.360
<v Speaker 2>what did we learn beating sixty two? Beating an opponent

34
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 2>like that, sixty two to nothing. Again, it's you. It's

35
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.439
<v Speaker 2>what you're supposed to do. It's really all you can do, right,

36
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, best case scenario happened, you played a bad team,

37
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.560
<v Speaker 2>you beat a bad team, very very badly, sixty two

38
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 2>to nothing. But I guess, just because for me, it's

39
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:23.960
<v Speaker 2>it's I guess it's just when I know that it

40
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:25.759
<v Speaker 2>didn't really tell me if Louis what was gonna be

41
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:27.439
<v Speaker 2>as good this year as I want him to be. Like,

42
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>it's just hard for me to just give you, you know,

43
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:33.159
<v Speaker 2>fake reaction and just you know, yap about I mean,

44
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:35.520
<v Speaker 2>I could give you a bunch of numbers and stats me,

45
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 2>but we did that in the post game. And I'm

46
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.479
<v Speaker 2>sure none of you really care about that. But five

47
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:42.000
<v Speaker 2>hundred and seventy one yards to total offense when you

48
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.240
<v Speaker 2>only gave up one hundred and six yards, I mean,

49
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:49.120
<v Speaker 2>that's that's a dominant performance. So again with Shuck, I

50
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:51.439
<v Speaker 2>know it's just Austin p but I just I get

51
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:53.960
<v Speaker 2>the sense that they're gonna they're gonna be much more

52
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.479
<v Speaker 2>comfortable letting him make place. And not to say they

53
00:02:57.479 --> 00:02:59.960
<v Speaker 2>weren't comfortable, well, I think they knew what they had

54
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:01.919
<v Speaker 2>in Jack Plumber. But with Jack Plumber, it was just

55
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.199
<v Speaker 2>his inconsistency is what made it tough to really. I

56
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:08.639
<v Speaker 2>mean again, I think he was pretty consistent in big

57
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:10.759
<v Speaker 2>games to where like you just knew he wasn't going

58
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:14.479
<v Speaker 2>to be super accurate, wasn't going to be able to

59
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.120
<v Speaker 2>make a lot of really tough throws at least on

60
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:18.360
<v Speaker 2>a consistent basis. He made enough plays for you to

61
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 2>be a good team. And you know, it wasn't as

62
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>if he was a terrible quarterback. But I just think

63
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:26.439
<v Speaker 2>knowing what Jeff Brum wants to do offensively, Plumber was

64
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:28.319
<v Speaker 2>the guy that kind of just wasn't able to do that.

65
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 2>I think with Shuck they'll be able to do that.

66
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.360
<v Speaker 2>That's not to say that he won't be turnover prone

67
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.479
<v Speaker 2>here and there. Maybe he is, because I think they're

68
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:36.919
<v Speaker 2>going to take more risks with his arm than they

69
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.479
<v Speaker 2>did with Jack Plumber, and I'm totally fine with that.

70
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.479
<v Speaker 2>And the defense, you know, again, they were dominant. I mean,

71
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.560
<v Speaker 2>you saw guys out there making plays that transferred in

72
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.120
<v Speaker 2>some names you probably weren't that familiar with. I mean,

73
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 2>that was actually probably you know, well, I guess I'll

74
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:53.919
<v Speaker 2>start with Shuck. Shuck obviously looked really good, and you

75
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:55.360
<v Speaker 2>would want him to look good against that kind of

76
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 2>an opponent. And then from there at running back, I

77
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.719
<v Speaker 2>mean they went with Maurice Turner. He was the guy

78
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.000
<v Speaker 2>that you know, obviously got the nod, was the starter,

79
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:07.840
<v Speaker 2>and I think the updated depth chart still shows him

80
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.439
<v Speaker 2>as the starter in week two, and that'll probably not change,

81
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:13.840
<v Speaker 2>but I will say this, I mean, I think it's

82
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.639
<v Speaker 2>gonna be running back by committee. I don't think it

83
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:18.920
<v Speaker 2>really matters who gets the first carry. I think you're

84
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.279
<v Speaker 2>gonna see Turner and Cheney. By the way, Cheney didn't

85
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:23.839
<v Speaker 2>get a carry. Cheney he caught one pass I think

86
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.240
<v Speaker 2>it was, but you'll see him again. Jeff was gonna

87
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 2>be vanilla. He wasn't gonna really show a whole lot.

88
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:30.639
<v Speaker 2>He didn't need to. They got a lot of carries

89
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:32.639
<v Speaker 2>for Kewan Brown, who I still think has got a

90
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.920
<v Speaker 2>chance to be really good. And then obviously Isaac Brown.

91
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.680
<v Speaker 2>You saw him go seventy seven yards for the touchdown,

92
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:40.639
<v Speaker 2>and it looked as if he didn't even turn on

93
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:46.160
<v Speaker 2>the jets. I mean, that looked like a guy going

94
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.360
<v Speaker 2>through a light jog. But yet he just created so

95
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.759
<v Speaker 2>much separation and left everybody in the dust. And that

96
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:53.680
<v Speaker 2>was I mean, again, that's that's the kind of speed

97
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:57.120
<v Speaker 2>we've heard about when it comes to this freshman star.

98
00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's a preseason Freshman All American BYuT ESPN

99
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.639
<v Speaker 2>for good reason. I don't want to talk him up

100
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:04.839
<v Speaker 2>too much and set expectations too high, because he is

101
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.040
<v Speaker 2>a true freshman, and you have veteran running backs that

102
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 2>I know that Jeff Brahm and this staff really like.

103
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:11.759
<v Speaker 2>But I would not be shocked if you get to

104
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.920
<v Speaker 2>game four, game five and he's the guy maybe you're

105
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 2>seeing carry the ball more than anybody else, just because

106
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:23.040
<v Speaker 2>he has electrifying speed and vision that you just you

107
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:26.839
<v Speaker 2>can't teach. And then the tight ends getting involved was great.

108
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:29.240
<v Speaker 2>That touchdown to Mark Redman was awesome, just a perfect

109
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.319
<v Speaker 2>throw from Chuck Jamari Johnson for some reason, I felt

110
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:34.920
<v Speaker 2>like he was more involved than the actual numbers show.

111
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:39.680
<v Speaker 2>So offensively, you know, Jacory Brooks, Yeah, you can tell

112
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.000
<v Speaker 2>that guy used to catch touch on passes at Alabama.

113
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:46.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean he looked smooth out there. Jayden Thompson also

114
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.639
<v Speaker 2>getting involved. He of course is the guy who everybody

115
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.319
<v Speaker 2>expects to get the bulk of the opportunities to fill

116
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.680
<v Speaker 2>that spot left by Colton Lacy who's injured. I still

117
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.879
<v Speaker 2>think Kataris Hicks is another guy that you'll see get opportunities.

118
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.519
<v Speaker 2>We saw Mariy Huggins bruce out there. He got out

119
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.199
<v Speaker 2>there and caught a pass. So again, a lot to

120
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.040
<v Speaker 2>like from that game, but again because of who that

121
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.879
<v Speaker 2>game was against It's just tough to know exactly what

122
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.920
<v Speaker 2>was to take from it. But defensively, I mean, you've

123
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:17.959
<v Speaker 2>got Jalatti back. We all know he's an All American player.

124
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's preseason ap All American. Those those kind

125
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:22.800
<v Speaker 2>of guys, you know, those those guys don't come around

126
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:26.079
<v Speaker 2>very often. So, as I've said many times, getting him

127
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.720
<v Speaker 2>back and even Quincy Riley, getting those guys back to

128
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.000
<v Speaker 2>they decided not to go to the NFL, they didn't

129
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 2>hit the portal. That's as big as any transaction, any

130
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:37.519
<v Speaker 2>move made in the offseason for Jeff Brom getting those

131
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:41.639
<v Speaker 2>two guys back, specifically Jelatti, and you know, again not

132
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.519
<v Speaker 2>a surprise to see him getting after the quarterback in

133
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Week one, kind of picking up where he left off

134
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.399
<v Speaker 2>from a year ago. But some names that you know,

135
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:52.040
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't super I mean I know of them because

136
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.279
<v Speaker 2>I remember hearing their names when they transferred in, but

137
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.040
<v Speaker 2>obviously you know they're playing for the first time at

138
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:01.399
<v Speaker 2>at Louisville. I mean I thought Tremmelle Logan six four,

139
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.360
<v Speaker 2>two fifty, he is a defensive lineman who transferred in

140
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 2>from South Florida. I mean, that guy looked he looked legit.

141
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Not usually do you see a guy from South Florida

142
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.360
<v Speaker 2>look like you know. Again, I guess you have players

143
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.000
<v Speaker 2>all over the country, but like when I hear Louisll's

144
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:18.959
<v Speaker 2>got a guy from South Florida, he's not. That's not

145
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.279
<v Speaker 2>exactly somebody I'm expecting to come in and be great.

146
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:23.519
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, I've heard nothing good things about him

147
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.279
<v Speaker 2>during camp, and I thought he looked good in the

148
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:27.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, in the times. We saw him on the

149
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:32.079
<v Speaker 2>field on Saturday. And then an another large human being,

150
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Renee Conga, the six ninety pound nose tackle who's a

151
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:40.519
<v Speaker 2>red shirt freshman. That's another name that again when I

152
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:43.120
<v Speaker 2>hear it called on television and I look at the

153
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.560
<v Speaker 2>at the depth chart like I'm familiar. Look, Oh yeah,

154
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.399
<v Speaker 2>I remember that guy. I remember hearing about him transferring in. Well,

155
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:51.439
<v Speaker 2>it's a guy who played at Rutgers. I think prior

156
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.839
<v Speaker 2>to that he played at Maybe I think he's been

157
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.680
<v Speaker 2>to a few different schools. But yeah, I mean Louisville,

158
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.399
<v Speaker 2>what they did, they felt really good about where they

159
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.600
<v Speaker 2>were as far as the defensive line, just because of

160
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:05.839
<v Speaker 2>the guys they brought back. But what they've done now

161
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:08.759
<v Speaker 2>is they've added guys like Conga in Logan, and they

162
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:11.120
<v Speaker 2>have more depth there than they've probably ever had as

163
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:13.839
<v Speaker 2>a program. I don't think that's hyperbole. I think that's legit.

164
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.560
<v Speaker 2>I think Louisville football has more defensive depth right now

165
00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:19.040
<v Speaker 2>than they've ever had. That's not to say that they've

166
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.000
<v Speaker 2>got some of the best players ever that have played here,

167
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:24.439
<v Speaker 2>but you know now they can go too deep and

168
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.360
<v Speaker 2>truly feel as if there's not much of a drop

169
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:29.600
<v Speaker 2>off at all. Now, maybe when you go and bring

170
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.480
<v Speaker 2>somebody in and you put Jelati or Riley on the sideline,

171
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.039
<v Speaker 2>yeah that's a little different because those guys are really special.

172
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.840
<v Speaker 2>But yes, Louisville sixties to nothing was the score. That's

173
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.600
<v Speaker 2>what you're supposed to do against those kind of teams.

174
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:41.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I learned anything about Louisville, but I

175
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.320
<v Speaker 2>also didn't see anything that has me feeling as if

176
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:50.440
<v Speaker 2>my expectations for this group need to be readjusted. So again,

177
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:53.240
<v Speaker 2>your big favorites here once again on Saturday taking on

178
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:58.679
<v Speaker 2>Jacksonville State. Rich Rodriguez is the coach. I mean that

179
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:02.000
<v Speaker 2>does add maybe not intrigued to the matchup, because again,

180
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:05.080
<v Speaker 2>like I don't know if people really care. But imagine

181
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:09.600
<v Speaker 2>telling somebody in two thousand and seven, or maybe two

182
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:12.720
<v Speaker 2>thousand and six, because that's when rich Rod was still

183
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.000
<v Speaker 2>at West Virginia and of course Louisville and West Virginia

184
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.960
<v Speaker 2>that blackout back in the fall of two thousand and six.

185
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:20.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that was I still think that was the

186
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.360
<v Speaker 2>best atmosphere I've ever seen for a Louisville football game,

187
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Top five matchup, I mean, a very historic night for

188
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Louisville football. But imagine telling somebody then, nineteen years ago

189
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:34.759
<v Speaker 2>that Jeff Brom, who was an assistant coach and OC

190
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.720
<v Speaker 2>I believe on that staff for Bobby coaching his brother

191
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Brian and rich Rod was the up and coming star

192
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.559
<v Speaker 2>of college football and that's how he parlayed that West

193
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Virginia job to the Michigan job. But imagine telling somebody

194
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:51.000
<v Speaker 2>that we'd be here nineteen years later, Jeff Brom in

195
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:55.159
<v Speaker 2>his second season at Louisville, coming off a ten win

196
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:58.360
<v Speaker 2>season in his debut, his little brother Brian, who is

197
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.759
<v Speaker 2>the QB. He's now the OC at Louisville, and rich

198
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.639
<v Speaker 2>Rod is the opponent, but he's coaching Jacksonville State. It's

199
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:08.159
<v Speaker 2>just wild to think about how life works out, isn't it.

200
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:10.960
<v Speaker 3>I thought it was where Bill O'Brien being on the

201
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:12.600
<v Speaker 3>Boston College sideline.

202
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:15.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I was surprised to see how many. And

203
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.240
<v Speaker 2>again it makes sense because you know it's Boston College.

204
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:21.440
<v Speaker 2>They don't really move the needle. But I mean, that

205
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:24.600
<v Speaker 2>was a huge win for Boston College for their coach

206
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:29.159
<v Speaker 2>to just abruptly resign at a terrible time. I mean,

207
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:35.000
<v Speaker 2>when did he When did he resign? Because it was

208
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:36.559
<v Speaker 2>way I think it was like after like you could

209
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:37.960
<v Speaker 2>go do anything in the portal, like I think the

210
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.679
<v Speaker 2>portal had. Yeah, Boston College, they're head coach, Jeff Hafley.

211
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Speaker 2>He left in February, so like you got to keep

212
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:46.639
<v Speaker 2>in mind the portal is super active at the end

213
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:49.960
<v Speaker 2>of November, when you know, and the second semester starts.

214
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:53.039
<v Speaker 2>A lot of these guys by mid January early January

215
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:55.600
<v Speaker 2>have already left and gone to a new school, right,

216
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:58.039
<v Speaker 2>Like that's when a lot of the portal action happens

217
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:01.200
<v Speaker 2>as soon as the season ends. In your second semester

218
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:03.600
<v Speaker 2>of the year is starting, so you know, they they

219
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:05.360
<v Speaker 2>didn't have the ability to go in the portal until

220
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:08.879
<v Speaker 2>post spring. I think Halfley realized that he was just

221
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.279
<v Speaker 2>not going to be able to succeed there at Boston College.

222
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:14.679
<v Speaker 2>As far as you know, nil resource is, like, he's

223
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:16.519
<v Speaker 2>probably a pretty good coach, but you got to be

224
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's not just about that anymore. You can

225
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:20.240
<v Speaker 2>be a damn good ball coach, but if you don't

226
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:23.039
<v Speaker 2>have resources to pay your players, with nil and all that,

227
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:25.440
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna get left behind. And it's not even really

228
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:27.840
<v Speaker 2>accurate to say left behind because like it's Boston College.

229
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:32.679
<v Speaker 2>They were never ahead of anybody. So bell O'Brien just

230
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:35.840
<v Speaker 2>being available and interested because of his I guess connection.

231
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:37.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean he was in New England for a while

232
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:40.320
<v Speaker 2>coaching with Belichick, So I mean that's I mean, they

233
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.600
<v Speaker 2>might have hired that. Yeah, I mean they might have

234
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:45.960
<v Speaker 2>hired the best coach they've ever had at Boston College.

235
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.399
<v Speaker 2>And it just kind of happened very very randomly, with

236
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:51.840
<v Speaker 2>some unusual circumstances. Your head coach whose job was not

237
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:53.919
<v Speaker 2>in jeopardy. Boston College went to a bowl game last

238
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:57.039
<v Speaker 2>year and won it. But I think Halfley just knew, Hey,

239
00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:00.399
<v Speaker 2>this the ceiling for me here is not very high

240
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:02.360
<v Speaker 2>because we're at Boston College. Well, Bill Obrian you know,

241
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:04.840
<v Speaker 2>he can come in and he's the kind of name

242
00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:09.120
<v Speaker 2>within college football really just football in general, that if

243
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.000
<v Speaker 2>there's somebody that would make Boston college football like kind

244
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.720
<v Speaker 2>of relevant, maybe get a few big name transfers here

245
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.879
<v Speaker 2>and there, maybe you know, make a splash kind of

246
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:22.679
<v Speaker 2>like they did last night. It's that kind of a

247
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:24.200
<v Speaker 2>coach that would do that, you know what I mean,

248
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.559
<v Speaker 2>Just an unusual situation, but hey, he's there looking for

249
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.240
<v Speaker 2>a new opportunity, and you know, they got off to

250
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.639
<v Speaker 2>a good start last night. I did not watch much

251
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.159
<v Speaker 2>of Kentucky. I fell asleep when they started pouring it

252
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:38.559
<v Speaker 2>on the Southern Miss Golden Eagles, and of course that

253
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:41.240
<v Speaker 2>game never ended up finishing. I've been asked this by

254
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:42.759
<v Speaker 2>a few different people. I didn't bet on that game.

255
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:45.240
<v Speaker 2>If you bet on that, they just void your bet,

256
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:47.039
<v Speaker 2>right like I would assume you get your money back

257
00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:48.039
<v Speaker 2>or do they count that as a win.

258
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.679
<v Speaker 3>I was thinking the same thing. Thankfully, I didn't bet

259
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:52.240
<v Speaker 3>on it, so I don't know the answer. I get long,

260
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:55.080
<v Speaker 3>but that's thankfully. But like I was wondering the same stuff.

261
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:57.840
<v Speaker 2>I have a buddy who I was talking to at

262
00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.000
<v Speaker 2>our draft last night. We did a fantasy football draft

263
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.360
<v Speaker 2>last night, and I was locked in trying to you know,

264
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:05.360
<v Speaker 2>draft the best team possible, So it was kind of

265
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:08.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, overhearing his conversation. But I think he had

266
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.320
<v Speaker 2>like a five leg parlay and the fifth leg would

267
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:15.039
<v Speaker 2>have been Kentucky winning and covering, but they voided it

268
00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:17.159
<v Speaker 2>to where he just basically won a four leg parlay.

269
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:19.320
<v Speaker 2>That's a good way to hear. Yeah, that, yeah, I mean,

270
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:21.360
<v Speaker 2>and that's I think that's probably the only way you

271
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:22.480
<v Speaker 2>can handle it, to be honest.

272
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:25.039
<v Speaker 3>Imagine if you had a huge leg parlay like he

273
00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:27.240
<v Speaker 3>did and they just avoid the entire bet, that'd be too.

274
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:29.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, like if you've got if you've got Southern miss

275
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:36.360
<v Speaker 2>plus twenty six and a half and yet there's still

276
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:40.080
<v Speaker 2>a quarter and a half left and they're down thirty one.

277
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:43.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's a really weird bet, and that's a

278
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.000
<v Speaker 2>weird place to be. But like technically, if they if

279
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.240
<v Speaker 2>they if they called the game there and you lost

280
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:50.879
<v Speaker 2>the bet but your team just didn't end up having

281
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.159
<v Speaker 2>the full game to try to cover, it'd be a

282
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:55.799
<v Speaker 2>weird thing to complain about. But I think you have

283
00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:58.320
<v Speaker 2>a legit complaints that make sense. Yes, So I think

284
00:13:58.320 --> 00:13:59.919
<v Speaker 2>that's probably what they end up doing is just you know,

285
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.759
<v Speaker 2>avoiding it. Western Kentucky they went down to Alabama and

286
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:08.639
<v Speaker 2>got hammered, I mean just completely demolished. But hey, they're

287
00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:12.399
<v Speaker 2>there because they needed the check. Which, by the way,

288
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:16.799
<v Speaker 2>Rich Rod did his radio show last night in Jacksonville, Alabama,

289
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:22.399
<v Speaker 2>and he this is I wouldn't say this is controversial

290
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.120
<v Speaker 2>by any means, but there was some criticism about him

291
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:28.840
<v Speaker 2>about him saying, I think this is just a coach

292
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.679
<v Speaker 2>being honest, and I can appreciate it. But you know,

293
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Jacksonville State is in Alabama, Troy is in Alabama, and

294
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:38.639
<v Speaker 2>if Bama's going to be giving out these big one

295
00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:41.080
<v Speaker 2>point nine million dollar checks, like I don't know why,

296
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:42.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm just I mean, I'm sure it's like an actual

297
00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:45.759
<v Speaker 2>like wire transaction for some reason. I can just see

298
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:48.519
<v Speaker 2>the athletic director at Western walking out of there with

299
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:50.080
<v Speaker 2>like one of those big checks you see on like

300
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:52.159
<v Speaker 2>the prices, right, you know what I mean, Like those big,

301
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.679
<v Speaker 2>humongous checks that are bigger than your body. But those

302
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:00.039
<v Speaker 2>Alabama schools like Jacksonville State, they want that money to

303
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:02.360
<v Speaker 2>state in state and not have Alabama giving it to

304
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:05.440
<v Speaker 2>other other programs. This is this is from a trod

305
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:07.240
<v Speaker 2>show man.

306
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:10.679
<v Speaker 4>I play in western Kentucky and you had Auburn play

307
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:13.879
<v Speaker 4>in a in state school. I raised a question on

308
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.799
<v Speaker 4>social media over the weekend, is why can't we do

309
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:22.200
<v Speaker 4>something to encourage more in state robberies but rebuild the

310
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:25.320
<v Speaker 4>whole robberies that used to exist. There's there's I mean,

311
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:28.320
<v Speaker 4>why is that money going out of state instead of

312
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:30.639
<v Speaker 4>state and in state?

313
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:34.480
<v Speaker 5>A good question, and we're trying to I think we've

314
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:36.440
<v Speaker 5>got Ua b on the schedule.

315
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:38.720
<v Speaker 2>You have Auburn a couple of years, Auburn.

316
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:41.159
<v Speaker 5>Get a paycheck from them. Then we got maybe trying

317
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:42.519
<v Speaker 5>to get Troy on the schedule.

318
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:42.600
<v Speaker 2>A little bit.

319
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:44.840
<v Speaker 5>And hell Alabama, if they will to pay me to men,

320
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:46.879
<v Speaker 5>I'll be down there on Saturday and Sunday. I'll play

321
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:50.120
<v Speaker 5>them twice for me half our budget. They could beat

322
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:52.879
<v Speaker 5>our brains in for a couple of million dollars. Uh

323
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:55.679
<v Speaker 5>for sure. So I'll call my my buddy Greg burn

324
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:57.600
<v Speaker 5>the ad down there and say listen to Gregg, and

325
00:15:57.679 --> 00:15:59.519
<v Speaker 5>I have said, we'll go down there for two million,

326
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.000
<v Speaker 5>and if you want to do the back to back,

327
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:04.639
<v Speaker 5>we'll go for for me and and have a great time.

328
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

329
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:07.759
<v Speaker 5>I rolle Todd for him if they won.

330
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:13.240
<v Speaker 2>So I mean I didn't. I didn't take anything from

331
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:15.120
<v Speaker 2>that as if he said anything out of line. But

332
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:17.399
<v Speaker 2>and it's not like it's become a I don't trust me.

333
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:18.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to make it out like a big deal.

334
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:21.679
<v Speaker 2>But Thomas Ashworth, who is the beat writer for the

335
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Jacksonville State football program, he wanted to share the clip

336
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:28.360
<v Speaker 2>because he was there covering the Coaches Show with that quote,

337
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:30.679
<v Speaker 2>and I guess just the quote itself, without people hearing

338
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.480
<v Speaker 2>the context, almost took it as if he was mocking

339
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.200
<v Speaker 2>his own team, which I do understand sort of why

340
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:38.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, I get why you see it that way,

341
00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:40.960
<v Speaker 2>But then again, I also think he's just being honest

342
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:42.759
<v Speaker 2>with you, Like did you expect him to say, yeah,

343
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:44.360
<v Speaker 2>we'll go down there and get that two million dollar

344
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:47.360
<v Speaker 2>check and well, whoop that Alabama Crimson Todd's ass Like, no,

345
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:50.039
<v Speaker 2>he knows they're gonna Like we all know what this is.

346
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:52.960
<v Speaker 2>It goes back to my conversation, like I can appreciate

347
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:56.039
<v Speaker 2>rich Rod for actually acknowledging this stuff for what it

348
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:58.480
<v Speaker 2>is when nobody else will, Like that's like you're there

349
00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:01.080
<v Speaker 2>to get bent over and that's what it is. Right.

350
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:03.080
<v Speaker 3>Imagine if he would have pulled the bend over and

351
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:03.679
<v Speaker 3>take it.

352
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:06.799
<v Speaker 2>I would have died. And it would have made me

353
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:09.440
<v Speaker 2>think that somehow he had listened to this show, which

354
00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:11.559
<v Speaker 2>I know he wouldn't, but like it would also just

355
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:14.200
<v Speaker 2>remind me, you know what that Like I would feel

356
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:16.759
<v Speaker 2>more justified in my approach because you don't hear people

357
00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:20.000
<v Speaker 2>say that, you know, because it is belittling your opponent.

358
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:23.559
<v Speaker 2>It's you know, not giving them a chance to even

359
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:26.839
<v Speaker 2>keep it close. But like we also can't. Like this

360
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:29.599
<v Speaker 2>is what I struggle with in life when people try

361
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:31.799
<v Speaker 2>to tell me things that I know are not, Like

362
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:33.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna make it political here, but I think you

363
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.799
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm talking about, Like, no, like this, you're there,

364
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:41.559
<v Speaker 2>you're not scheduling Alabama or Louisville if you're Austin p

365
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:45.240
<v Speaker 2>because you're this chippy program that's just waiting for somebody

366
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:47.160
<v Speaker 2>to let them come play us so we can go

367
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:49.279
<v Speaker 2>take No, you're doing it to fund your program, Like

368
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:52.279
<v Speaker 2>that's what this is. It's a transaction, that's what it is.

369
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:57.319
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, like some Jacksonville State fans I suppose didn't

370
00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:00.559
<v Speaker 2>like that, but like let's get real. It also made

371
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:04.039
<v Speaker 2>me sad because imagine being a Jacksonville State fan leading

372
00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:06.759
<v Speaker 2>up to that game, you know what I mean, Like,

373
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:09.640
<v Speaker 2>you know what this is, you know, and it wouldn't

374
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:12.920
<v Speaker 2>be fun to watch if you watch your team get killed.

375
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:16.359
<v Speaker 2>So the only time I can think of being in

376
00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:18.680
<v Speaker 2>somewhat of a relatable situation there would have been when

377
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:23.039
<v Speaker 2>Louisville played Alabama to open up their season. Whenever Bama was,

378
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:26.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, fresh off national championship, it was, they had

379
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:29.160
<v Speaker 2>both Jalen Hurts and Tua. Louisville was coming off of

380
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:31.559
<v Speaker 2>the Lamar Jackson era, going through you know what, we

381
00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:34.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't know would be the worst season like ever, but

382
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:39.119
<v Speaker 2>we knew we could probably play well and still get killed.

383
00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:41.359
<v Speaker 2>And that's just a weird, weird. I mean, I don't

384
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:43.640
<v Speaker 2>care who you are in football, you gotta probably be

385
00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:45.960
<v Speaker 2>one of those kind of teams, an FCS or or

386
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:48.680
<v Speaker 2>a low, low level G five which Jacksonville State, by

387
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:50.880
<v Speaker 2>the way, is brand new to G five football. So

388
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:53.599
<v Speaker 2>you gotta be you gotta be down there to be

389
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:55.359
<v Speaker 2>in that kind of a situation. But if you're a

390
00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:58.240
<v Speaker 2>fan or an alum, it's an annual thing, right, like

391
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:00.559
<v Speaker 2>probably three of your opponents. They are going to be

392
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:05.079
<v Speaker 2>like that to an extent. Also, you know, this is

393
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:07.640
<v Speaker 2>something that that I always go back to with with

394
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:10.839
<v Speaker 2>the those who claim Bellerman and Louisville should always play

395
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:14.880
<v Speaker 2>each other in basketball, and you know, Murray State complaining

396
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:17.839
<v Speaker 2>that Kentucky won't go there and play them, they won't

397
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:21.240
<v Speaker 2>do a home and home, and I mean, I'm all,

398
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:24.400
<v Speaker 2>like I I find I'm a huge huge Bellerman basketball fan.

399
00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:26.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, outside of Louisville. I want Bellerman to win.

400
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:28.920
<v Speaker 2>If they're not playing Louisville, i want Bellerman to win

401
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:30.799
<v Speaker 2>every game. I'm not gonna act as if like I'm

402
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:33.160
<v Speaker 2>watching every single game, but like I love Scotty Davenport

403
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.279
<v Speaker 2>his program, so happy he's he's you know he's at

404
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:39.799
<v Speaker 2>Bellerman and you know he's he's a huge asset to

405
00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:42.599
<v Speaker 2>our community in a variety of ways. But I've always

406
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:45.359
<v Speaker 2>gotten some pushback when I say this, Loman doesn't owe

407
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.119
<v Speaker 2>him a game. I'm glad they play him. And by

408
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:50.519
<v Speaker 2>the way, they worked it out where Louisville needed that venue,

409
00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:52.559
<v Speaker 2>Freedom Hall for volleyball a couple of years ago, and

410
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:54.880
<v Speaker 2>that's what got the series started. Where they're playing real

411
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:57.480
<v Speaker 2>games against one another. But like when Chris Mack was here,

412
00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:01.400
<v Speaker 2>what does he benefit from scheduling Beller? He might lose

413
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:04.960
<v Speaker 2>that game because Baltopman is pretty good, right, Like, and

414
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:08.839
<v Speaker 2>if you're gonna be giving, if you're doing these by games,

415
00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:11.039
<v Speaker 2>I guess you can say we'll give it to another

416
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:13.200
<v Speaker 2>school within your state. But like, we wouldn't do that

417
00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:15.839
<v Speaker 2>for Kentucky. We want it, we wouldn't want them to

418
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:19.759
<v Speaker 2>Like I've never understood that. And that's what that caller,

419
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:22.799
<v Speaker 2>I guess was alluding to to to rich Rod, is

420
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:26.119
<v Speaker 2>that Alabama instead of giving Western Kentucky one point nine million,

421
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:28.400
<v Speaker 2>they should be giving it to Jacksonville State or Troy

422
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:31.960
<v Speaker 2>or these or Southern South Alabama or something like that.

423
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:34.279
<v Speaker 2>And like, I hear where you're coming from, But like

424
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:37.920
<v Speaker 2>you're not entitled to that. And if it's well, why

425
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:40.839
<v Speaker 2>don't we keep that money within the state. That's like

426
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:43.880
<v Speaker 2>people who if Kentucky's playing in a national championship game

427
00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:46.920
<v Speaker 2>and you're a Louisville fan, you give me the well,

428
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:48.880
<v Speaker 2>I hope we can keep it in the state. You

429
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:50.680
<v Speaker 2>can get the hell out of this state. If that's

430
00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:52.359
<v Speaker 2>the way you never understood those I have you heard

431
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:54.519
<v Speaker 2>people say that though, right, yeah, well as we'll keep

432
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:56.759
<v Speaker 2>it in the state. No, we hate them, Why would

433
00:20:56.759 --> 00:20:59.200
<v Speaker 2>we want them to have a championship? And Louisville fans

434
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:01.680
<v Speaker 2>would do the same thing Entucky. It's the same like

435
00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky fans if louel was playing in a national championship,

436
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:05.640
<v Speaker 2>you're tell me deep down you want to keep it

437
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:08.759
<v Speaker 2>within the state. No you don't. It's your rival, so

438
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:10.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, like I don't think that guy who called

439
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:12.319
<v Speaker 2>into that show was like out of line. But again,

440
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:14.200
<v Speaker 2>like why are you entitled to that? Like, that's not

441
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:18.000
<v Speaker 2>your money. That's money that Alabama Football has to pay somebody,

442
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:19.559
<v Speaker 2>and if they choose to give it to somebody else,

443
00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:21.920
<v Speaker 2>that's their decision. You're not entitled to it because you

444
00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:24.480
<v Speaker 2>happen to play this, you play that, you know, play

445
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:27.599
<v Speaker 2>within the same state as them. It's like Murray, Like

446
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Murray quite literally claims that Kentucky won't schedule them, and

447
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:34.920
<v Speaker 2>they won't, but it's not because they're scared of them,

448
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:37.200
<v Speaker 2>because they're not going to agree to your terms. Murray

449
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:39.920
<v Speaker 2>wants Kentucky to host them at roup and then go

450
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.240
<v Speaker 2>play them in Murray, why would Kentucky give up a

451
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:43.880
<v Speaker 2>home date to go play you in Murray. You know what,

452
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:45.920
<v Speaker 2>that would be a charity. They would be doing a

453
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.799
<v Speaker 2>charitable a charitable act for your program. And if they

454
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:50.640
<v Speaker 2>did it, good on them. But they're not. They don't

455
00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:53.640
<v Speaker 2>have to do that. It'd be a gift. Anyways, Quick

456
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:55.039
<v Speaker 2>Break will come back on the other side, keep it

457
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:57.480
<v Speaker 2>rolling along. It's coffee and company. Field about Thornton's right

458
00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:02.559
<v Speaker 2>here on Sports Talk seven ninety started the show by mentioning,

459
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:04.519
<v Speaker 2>how I was just kind of dragging ass today. I

460
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:06.240
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I was up later last night than I

461
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:10.119
<v Speaker 2>usually would be on a work night watching some football,

462
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:14.000
<v Speaker 2>drinking some beers, fantasy football draft with the Boys. So

463
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:17.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm just kind of in a funk today. But once

464
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:19.720
<v Speaker 2>the show started, I mean that all went away.

465
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:20.039
<v Speaker 1>John.

466
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:22.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm dancing to Michael Jackson during the break there.

467
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Thank God, nobody else could see that, just John. But

468
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:26.759
<v Speaker 2>yeah's feeling good.

469
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:28.759
<v Speaker 3>The music we get to play sometimes we can vibe

470
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:31.200
<v Speaker 3>with it for a couple of seconds before we officially

471
00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:33.039
<v Speaker 3>come back in for the segment, and it's usually a

472
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:33.480
<v Speaker 3>good time.

473
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:38.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And look, people still get pissed about not having

474
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:41.119
<v Speaker 2>music on the podcast first. It has nothing to do

475
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:44.200
<v Speaker 2>with us out of our control. It's a higher up thing,

476
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:47.480
<v Speaker 2>and you can always listen live and get the music.

477
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:49.079
<v Speaker 2>So I know some people can't listen live or they

478
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:50.799
<v Speaker 2>just don't like to because they love to be able

479
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:54.319
<v Speaker 2>to just start it and go all the way through

480
00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:57.319
<v Speaker 2>without any commercials. And I get all that, but just

481
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:01.599
<v Speaker 2>know we're not removing the music that we hear when

482
00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:04.559
<v Speaker 2>we come back from breaking the podcasts just to stick

483
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:07.519
<v Speaker 2>it to you podcast listeners. It's something we I mean,

484
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:08.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure if.

485
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:11.119
<v Speaker 3>There's a day where we can bring the music back,

486
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:13.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what that would require, iHeart to do.

487
00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:15.920
<v Speaker 2>I did a little digging, okay as to why that's

488
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:19.559
<v Speaker 2>a thing, and it's really stupid. I mean, I think

489
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:22.599
<v Speaker 2>we could do it and be fine. But you know,

490
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:26.119
<v Speaker 2>when you are a corporation of this size, you got

491
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:28.279
<v Speaker 2>to make sure you don't put yourself in a position

492
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:30.599
<v Speaker 2>to get sued. Right. It was a record label thing, right,

493
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I mean it's all I mean, And just

494
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:37.640
<v Speaker 2>like anything else in life, I mean, not anything, I guess,

495
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:41.680
<v Speaker 2>but like it took one person really like going overboard

496
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:43.240
<v Speaker 2>as far as what we are allowed to do. With

497
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:46.079
<v Speaker 2>music to where it hit, it got up. I think

498
00:23:46.079 --> 00:23:50.039
<v Speaker 2>it got to the level high enough up here within

499
00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:52.440
<v Speaker 2>our corporation of iHeart, to where they just made the

500
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.240
<v Speaker 2>executive decision nobody, you can't have any music on any podcast,

501
00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:58.599
<v Speaker 2>even if it is for fifteen to thirty seconds. Such

502
00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:01.559
<v Speaker 2>that makes sense right there. We're not alet to have

503
00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:03.119
<v Speaker 2>interns here at iHeart. I don't know people know that

504
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:03.359
<v Speaker 2>or not.

505
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:05.240
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know that. Yeah, I was an intern once,

506
00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:06.359
<v Speaker 3>so they gonna do about it.

507
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, you interned, not for the company specific human being exactly,

508
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:12.960
<v Speaker 2>so I guess you could get a you could get

509
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:15.000
<v Speaker 2>around it. And maybe they've changed it since then. But

510
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:17.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, back in the day, I mean the dogs

511
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:20.079
<v Speaker 2>used to have on interns, but they in turned through

512
00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:24.160
<v Speaker 2>an outside company, not through actually iHeart, because there was

513
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:27.000
<v Speaker 2>one person who had an intern, probably in a market

514
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:31.119
<v Speaker 2>far far away, that basically used that intern as a

515
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:33.680
<v Speaker 2>full time employee and didn't pay him a dime, and like,

516
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, you can't do that. So anyways, if you

517
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:41.000
<v Speaker 2>ever really want to hear the music that the company

518
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Man DJ company Man John on the ones, yeah college

519
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:49.119
<v Speaker 2>I think DJ. If you want to hear the Company

520
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Man DJ Jazzy John. You're gonna have to listen live.

521
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:53.960
<v Speaker 2>That's that's one of the reasons why you should always

522
00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:56.400
<v Speaker 2>be listening live. I understand some people can't. But anyways,

523
00:24:57.359 --> 00:24:59.599
<v Speaker 2>those that still text in mad that the podcast doesn't

524
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:02.799
<v Speaker 2>have music, nothing we can do about it. Nothing we

525

530
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:21.000
<v Speaker 2>says Nick. I'm a transplant born in Cleveland, lived there

531
00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:22.920
<v Speaker 2>my whole life into the last ten years. I do

532
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:26.359
<v Speaker 2>enjoy the Louisville and Kentucky rivalry. However, it is nothing

533
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:29.000
<v Speaker 2>compared to Ohio State in Michigan. As you just said

534
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:32.279
<v Speaker 2>last week, is there any chance Louisville and Kentucky could

535
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:35.279
<v Speaker 2>ever end up in the same conference. That way, you

536
00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:38.920
<v Speaker 2>guys would stop yelling at each other about which league

537
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:41.960
<v Speaker 2>is better. Well, I don't, by the way, Thank you

538
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:44.880
<v Speaker 2>for listening, and you know I will admit the rivalry

539
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:47.480
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to football clearly much different. On the

540
00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:51.359
<v Speaker 2>Ohio State Michigan side. But I don't think that you

541
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:54.640
<v Speaker 2>hear Louisville fans yelling at Kentucky about which league is better.

542
00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:58.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think everybody knows the SEC is a

543
00:25:58.200 --> 00:26:02.240
<v Speaker 2>superior league in football because it's the best league in football.

544
00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:04.680
<v Speaker 2>What I think you hear that does probably from an

545
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:07.759
<v Speaker 2>outsider's perspective, like yourself. It probably is annoying for you

546
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:10.799
<v Speaker 2>to hear us you're just kind of you know, around

547
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:12.200
<v Speaker 2>it as you know. I don't know what you do

548
00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:14.200
<v Speaker 2>for work, but maybe you hear Louisville and Kentucky fans

549
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:16.480
<v Speaker 2>going after each other at work when it comes to football,

550
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:20.440
<v Speaker 2>and I would imagine it's Kentucky claiming that despite Louisville

551
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:22.519
<v Speaker 2>having success, none of it matters because they play in

552
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:24.640
<v Speaker 2>a terrible league, and the Kentucky would actually be the

553
00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:26.799
<v Speaker 2>champion of the ACC every year if they played in

554
00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:29.200
<v Speaker 2>that league, because they're that good. It's just they play

555
00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:31.519
<v Speaker 2>in the almighty SEC. And on the Louisville side, you

556
00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:35.119
<v Speaker 2>probably hear them acting as if that's a ridiculous thing

557
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:38.559
<v Speaker 2>to claim, and also letting Kentucky know that despite being

558
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:41.079
<v Speaker 2>in a better league, you know, you don't actually have

559
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:44.359
<v Speaker 2>any factor in that league. The league is elite and

560
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:46.279
<v Speaker 2>it has nothing to do with you. In fact, you

561
00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:51.160
<v Speaker 2>probably more than anything bring the league down historically. So like,

562
00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:55.319
<v Speaker 2>that's probably a never ending debate because they're never going

563
00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:57.200
<v Speaker 2>to end up in the same conference together, at least

564
00:26:57.319 --> 00:26:59.200
<v Speaker 2>not that I'm aware of. However, that would end it

565
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:04.920
<v Speaker 2>right Louisville and Kentucky played in the same conference, you know,

566
00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:07.039
<v Speaker 2>at that point you'd have to just go, you know,

567
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:09.720
<v Speaker 2>toe to toe. And look, Kentucky has beat Louisville the

568
00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:12.839
<v Speaker 2>last what five times they played them. Therefore they can

569
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:15.200
<v Speaker 2>claim they're in a better league and they have bragging rights,

570
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:17.799
<v Speaker 2>which is why, I mean, Jef Brom knows he's got

571
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:19.759
<v Speaker 2>a lot on his plate this year. They want to

572
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:22.400
<v Speaker 2>try to put themselves in the a SEC Championship game again.

573
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:25.720
<v Speaker 2>But man, despite this game having nothing to do with that,

574
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:28.880
<v Speaker 2>he knows how big it is to be Kentucky this year.

575
00:27:28.920 --> 00:27:30.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they got to do it. They got it

576
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:33.480
<v Speaker 2>in this streak and last year was like the ultimate

577
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:36.079
<v Speaker 2>if you're gonna do it, now is the chance to

578
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:37.720
<v Speaker 2>do it. And I remember thinking to myself, if they

579
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:40.200
<v Speaker 2>don't get them now, they may never. And I as

580
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:42.920
<v Speaker 2>a Louisville fan and me being well aware of what

581
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Jef Brom is capable of doing as a head coach.

582
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:47.759
<v Speaker 2>There's never a scenario where I would say, well, they're

583
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:49.640
<v Speaker 2>just never going to beat Kentucky and football, because I

584
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:52.920
<v Speaker 2>was when I was growing up watching Louisville football, I

585
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:55.839
<v Speaker 2>didn't know really what we were right, we were new.

586
00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:58.599
<v Speaker 2>We just got thrown in the microwave. We were in

587
00:27:58.599 --> 00:28:03.000
<v Speaker 2>conference USSA jurige comes around, they hire John ELL's success

588
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:05.480
<v Speaker 2>starts to happen, and then boom Bobby, Buttrino takes over

589
00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:08.039
<v Speaker 2>like we were. I mean, I knew we had some

590
00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:09.720
<v Speaker 2>good had a good run. I knew we were a

591
00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:11.680
<v Speaker 2>basketball school more than a football school at the time

592
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:13.599
<v Speaker 2>in a major way. But one thing I did know

593
00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:16.240
<v Speaker 2>as a kid, we beat Kentucky because they stunk all

594
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:19.640
<v Speaker 2>the time. I mean, at least my childhood, that's that era. Now,

595
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:22.759
<v Speaker 2>obviously I watched Kentucky beat Louisville when I was a

596
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:24.319
<v Speaker 2>kid as well, but it seemed like that happened a

597
00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:27.319
<v Speaker 2>lot more. It was more of a rare thing to happen.

598
00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:30.720
<v Speaker 2>So look, I don't think they'll ever be in the

599
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:32.119
<v Speaker 2>same conference, and I don't want him to be, to

600
00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:35.720
<v Speaker 2>be honest with you, But that would probably put an

601
00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:37.759
<v Speaker 2>end to that debate because at that point, you know,

602
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:39.720
<v Speaker 2>if you're playing in the same league and you play

603
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:43.079
<v Speaker 2>each other every year, the whole conference affiliation stuff just

604
00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:44.920
<v Speaker 2>doesn't matter anymore because you'd be in the same league.

605
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:47.440
<v Speaker 2>But I doubt that ever happens. All Right, this Tech

606
00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:49.200
<v Speaker 2>says Nick got to be honest with you. I was

607
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:52.720
<v Speaker 2>not pleased with what I saw from Pierce Clarkson. I

608
00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:55.599
<v Speaker 2>can't get over how small he looked out there. Yeah,

609
00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:57.240
<v Speaker 2>so we talked about that a little bit on the

610
00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:00.599
<v Speaker 2>postgame show. And I think I've said the same thing

611
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:04.519
<v Speaker 2>about Pierce for a while now, and that is that

612
00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:07.720
<v Speaker 2>this is the year for him to get some meaningful

613
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:11.359
<v Speaker 2>Well it's not meaningful if it's in a blowout, but

614
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:13.519
<v Speaker 2>it is at least reps in a real game, if

615
00:29:13.559 --> 00:29:17.960
<v Speaker 2>that makes sense. Like I believe, just my opinion, not

616
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:21.000
<v Speaker 2>telling you this for certain, but I believe that if

617
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:24.759
<v Speaker 2>they opened up their season not against Austin p but

618
00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:29.960
<v Speaker 2>against Georgia Tech, and it was a close game in

619
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:32.480
<v Speaker 2>the third quarter and Tyler Schuck went down with an injury,

620
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:34.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they would have put Pierce Clarkson in

621
00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:37.640
<v Speaker 2>I think they would have put in Harrison Bailey. Again,

622
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm just we'll never know. It's a hypothetical, but I

623
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:44.440
<v Speaker 2>think with Pierce and Harrison Bailey as your backup, I

624
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:49.319
<v Speaker 2>think they are really close, like as far as like competition, like,

625
00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:53.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that they you know, I would say

626
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:55.880
<v Speaker 2>they're probably neck and neck. But if Pierce is going

627
00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:57.480
<v Speaker 2>to be the quarterback of the future as a red

628
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:00.000
<v Speaker 2>shirt freshman right now, it is more important for him

629
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:01.960
<v Speaker 2>him to get those reps, then it is Harrison Bailey,

630
00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:04.920
<v Speaker 2>who's a six year senior who walked on here when

631
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:07.440
<v Speaker 2>he came to Louisville last year as he transfer. So

632
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:12.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, I didn't think Pierce looked great, But then again,

633
00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:15.400
<v Speaker 2>if he did look great, I would not be somebody

634
00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:17.240
<v Speaker 2>that would, you know, it would be encouraging to see

635
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:19.359
<v Speaker 2>him in his first you know, and you know, some

636
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:21.240
<v Speaker 2>real reps there. If you put up big numbers, I

637
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:23.680
<v Speaker 2>would be encouraged by it. But I would also know

638
00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:26.359
<v Speaker 2>that with it being Austin p it's tough to make

639
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:29.680
<v Speaker 2>to know what any of it means. So, you know,

640
00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:34.640
<v Speaker 2>if they're in a similar situation on Saturday against Jacksonville,

641
00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:38.279
<v Speaker 2>State and they're up thirty five or forty or whatever

642
00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:41.119
<v Speaker 2>it may be. I think they'll probably once again go

643
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:44.319
<v Speaker 2>to Pierce, but it's because they're giving him a chance

644
00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:46.799
<v Speaker 2>to get some some valuable reps I guess as best

645
00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:49.799
<v Speaker 2>he can and seem little and see a little bit

646
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:52.880
<v Speaker 2>more about what they have, if that makes sense. But

647
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:54.200
<v Speaker 2>I think if it's a game on the line and

648
00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:55.759
<v Speaker 2>they had to go to a quarterback that they feel

649
00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:58.640
<v Speaker 2>comfortable that will help them, you know, make plays and

650
00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:00.400
<v Speaker 2>win the game, I think they go with Harrison Bailey.

651
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:06.160
<v Speaker 2>So you know, it's gonna be really tricky to see

652
00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:10.000
<v Speaker 2>what happens with Pierce Clarkson because he could show really

653
00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:14.839
<v Speaker 2>really good upside this year in those type of situations.

654
00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:16.720
<v Speaker 2>And I will agree with the Texter. I didn't think

655
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:19.279
<v Speaker 2>he looked great, but I also am not gonna write

656
00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:21.640
<v Speaker 2>him off based off just that. But yeah, six one

657
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:25.359
<v Speaker 2>ninety five. I know that Tyler Shuck's a big guy,

658
00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:27.079
<v Speaker 2>and I know Harrison Bailey's a big guy too, but

659
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:28.880
<v Speaker 2>I thought I thought Pierce Clarkson looked like he was

660
00:31:28.920 --> 00:31:33.440
<v Speaker 2>my height out there, but he could let's just say,

661
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:37.519
<v Speaker 2>he gets some real snaps in half the games this year,

662
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:40.319
<v Speaker 2>because Louisville's up big and when when he is in there,

663
00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:42.759
<v Speaker 2>he looks pretty good doing it, and fans feel like, Okay,

664
00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:45.559
<v Speaker 2>here we go, man, whenever Shuck's gone, we're gonna hand

665
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:47.119
<v Speaker 2>the reins off to Pierce, and I feel good about

666
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:51.319
<v Speaker 2>the future. Like let's just say that did happen, and

667
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:53.559
<v Speaker 2>then you get to the end of December or I'm sorry,

668
00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:55.759
<v Speaker 2>the end of November, I should say, and the portal's

669
00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:58.039
<v Speaker 2>open and there's a really good quarterback out there in

670
00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:01.279
<v Speaker 2>the portal that Jeff Brown would love to have and

671
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:04.079
<v Speaker 2>he wants to go after him. That's just kind of

672
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.559
<v Speaker 2>how coaches operate now, cause if you're not taking advantage

673
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:10.720
<v Speaker 2>of getting better, adding more talent and depth in the portal,

674
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:13.079
<v Speaker 2>what are you doing? You're not doing your job. So

675
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Pierce has I think already shown some maturity and patience

676
00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:20.680
<v Speaker 2>by understanding, yes, this is my second season and for

677
00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:23.559
<v Speaker 2>the second time they have brought in a quarterback that's

678
00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:26.200
<v Speaker 2>a veteran in the portal, that is essentially walking into

679
00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:30.720
<v Speaker 2>this starting job a third year. I don't know if

680
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:32.480
<v Speaker 2>he would do that, and I wouldn't blame him. Like

681
00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:35.519
<v Speaker 2>if Pierce Clarkson shows some upside this year, But yet

682
00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:37.319
<v Speaker 2>they still go get a veteran in the portal who's

683
00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:39.079
<v Speaker 2>proven to be a good quarterback at the college level.

684
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:41.119
<v Speaker 2>That would be Jeff Brom doing his job. That would

685
00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:42.559
<v Speaker 2>be Jeff Brom doing what you're supposed to do as

686
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:44.720
<v Speaker 2>a head coach. But if you're Pierce Clarkson and you

687
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:46.759
<v Speaker 2>got to look out for yourself, is that the one

688
00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:50.279
<v Speaker 2>where you say, Okay, I waited long enough and I

689
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:54.160
<v Speaker 2>can go compete for this guy who's walking in as

690
00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:56.759
<v Speaker 2>a transfer who started, you know, three seasons in the

691
00:32:56.759 --> 00:32:59.039
<v Speaker 2>Big ten or something. But like you can read the

692
00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:01.279
<v Speaker 2>room that they think this guy's probably better, and you

693
00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:04.359
<v Speaker 2>may transfer and try to you know it, It won't

694
00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:06.799
<v Speaker 2>mean that anybody has done anything wrong. It will be

695
00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:09.920
<v Speaker 2>just an example right in front of our face, as

696
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Louisville fans, of how different the quarterback position is now

697
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:15.920
<v Speaker 2>because of the transfer portal. That makes sense, John, Like

698
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:18.720
<v Speaker 2>it might not mean that like Chis Clarkson could end

699
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:21.759
<v Speaker 2>up going on elsewhere and being really good and we

700
00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:23.400
<v Speaker 2>could look back and say, man, I wish we would

701
00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:25.359
<v Speaker 2>have kept him. But if you you know, react to

702
00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:28.519
<v Speaker 2>it in real time. If you're Jeff Brahm, or any coach.

703
00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:30.759
<v Speaker 2>If you know you can go get a player that's

704
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:33.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna make you better in the portal, you're gonna go

705
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:35.640
<v Speaker 2>do that, right, Like, it's just no way around it.

706
00:33:35.799 --> 00:33:37.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, could because the only thing that you you don't

707
00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:40.200
<v Speaker 3>really hurt yourself by doing that. And I guess the

708
00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:42.160
<v Speaker 3>best case scenario for the guy who may be on

709
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:44.279
<v Speaker 3>the come up is you can if there's a quarterback

710
00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:46.759
<v Speaker 3>battle between Clarkson and whoever you may be bring in

711
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:49.519
<v Speaker 3>from the transfer portal, Clarkson will have an opportunity to

712
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:51.279
<v Speaker 3>show that he may be better than whoever that guy

713
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:52.079
<v Speaker 3>is that you're bringing in.

714
00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but it's just gonna it's a still different, wouldn't

715
00:33:56.519 --> 00:33:58.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it would be a bad look on

716
00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Pierce if that situation played out and instead of you know,

717
00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:05.799
<v Speaker 2>competing with a with a veteran once again, he just

718
00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:08.599
<v Speaker 2>decided to go get a fresh start elsewhere. Like you know,

719
00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:11.000
<v Speaker 2>some would say, well, he's running from competition, and I

720
00:34:11.039 --> 00:34:12.360
<v Speaker 2>get why people would say that, but at the end

721
00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:13.760
<v Speaker 2>of the day, you got to look out for yourself

722
00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:17.159
<v Speaker 2>and if you feel as if you still have a

723
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:20.119
<v Speaker 2>tough time envisioning yourself as the starter, as the guy

724
00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:22.280
<v Speaker 2>and this is that would have been and this is

725
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:24.880
<v Speaker 2>his third year here. I guess this is a second

726
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:27.039
<v Speaker 2>year here. I just I don't know. It's a lot.

727
00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:29.840
<v Speaker 2>The quarterback is just off all the positions in sports

728
00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:31.760
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to the transfer portal, the quarterback one

729
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:34.920
<v Speaker 2>is just different, just like in the NFL the running

730
00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:36.599
<v Speaker 2>back position. Like you can't even really talk about the

731
00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:38.480
<v Speaker 2>running back position in the NFL the same way you

732
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:41.039
<v Speaker 2>do any other position because it's just so different. All right,

733
00:34:41.119 --> 00:34:42.719
<v Speaker 2>quick break, we'll come back on the other side. Wrap

734
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:45.119
<v Speaker 2>up the five o'clock hour, which means, you know, we're

735
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:46.880
<v Speaker 2>wrapping up the show. I can't belief a fast today's

736
00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:49.719
<v Speaker 2>gone by, good stuff that usually happened one Monday. There's

737
00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:51.280
<v Speaker 2>just so much to react to here from the weekend.

738
00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:53.320
<v Speaker 2>So stick with us. Coffee and company, I feel about

739
00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Thornton's right here on Sports Talk seven ninety. That's right,

740
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:01.320
<v Speaker 2>we were wrapping up a Tuesday day of coffee and company,

741
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:04.000
<v Speaker 2>fueled by Thornton's appreciate you guys hanging out with us.

742
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:07.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean when I said I think this might have

743
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:09.239
<v Speaker 2>been the fastest the show has ever gone by, I

744
00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:10.960
<v Speaker 2>mean each show is, you know, most of them I

745
00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:13.800
<v Speaker 2>should say the exact amount, same amount of time, three hours.

746
00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:17.039
<v Speaker 3>When you said five o'clock hours next an hour ago.

747
00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:18.719
<v Speaker 3>I was like, hold on, does he know what he's

748
00:35:18.719 --> 00:35:21.360
<v Speaker 3>talking about? And yeah, you're absolutely right. And I usually

749
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:22.320
<v Speaker 3>don't react.

750
00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:23.760
<v Speaker 2>Like that, and I usually don't know what the hell

751
00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:26.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about, but I was in fact correct there

752
00:35:26.360 --> 00:35:29.239
<v Speaker 2>that it was the five o'clock hour that was approaching.

753
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:30.880
<v Speaker 2>So if you guys missed any of today's show, make

754
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:35.119
<v Speaker 2>sure you go and check out the podcast. Again. Monday's

755
00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:38.360
<v Speaker 2>this time of year, not just this time of year,

756
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:42.159
<v Speaker 2>but really Monday's during football basketball season. I usually in

757
00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:44.320
<v Speaker 2>this show and it's not a Monday, but it kind

758
00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:45.599
<v Speaker 2>of is, you know what I mean, we're reacting from

759
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:47.760
<v Speaker 2>the weekend. In fact, there's more to react to because

760
00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:50.079
<v Speaker 2>we had an extra day in the weekend. But I

761
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:52.480
<v Speaker 2>usually in the show knowing, hey, I got a lot more.

762
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:54.159
<v Speaker 2>I got to get right into the next day because

763
00:35:54.199 --> 00:35:55.880
<v Speaker 2>we didn't have a chance to get to all of it.

764
00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:59.079
<v Speaker 2>So we will do that tomorrow and you know, get

765
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:02.199
<v Speaker 2>you set for another big weekend, not only of college football,

766
00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:05.360
<v Speaker 2>the NFL season will be starting on Thursday. I can't

767
00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:07.639
<v Speaker 2>wait to see Lamar and the Ravens take on Pat

768
00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes and the Chiefs. I mean, I mean, I'm starting

769
00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:13.320
<v Speaker 2>to have a little bit of a of a worry

770
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:16.199
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to Lamar, not about his ability or

771
00:36:16.199 --> 00:36:18.920
<v Speaker 2>his you know, his likelihood of succeeding. I think the

772
00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:20.519
<v Speaker 2>Ravens are going to be really good again this year.

773
00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:22.519
<v Speaker 2>But I just it'd be a real kick in the

774
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:25.519
<v Speaker 2>you know what as a Lamar fan for him to

775
00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:30.039
<v Speaker 2>continue to be sensational, maybe even picking up another NFL

776
00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:33.320
<v Speaker 2>MVP trophy along the way. But like, if all this

777
00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:37.039
<v Speaker 2>success happens and yet the dynasty that is the Chiefs

778
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:39.400
<v Speaker 2>are just in the way, like that would suck. It

779
00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:42.519
<v Speaker 2>would suck. But hey, I don't think there's anybody right

780
00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:44.039
<v Speaker 2>now that's gonna get it. I mean, hopefully they don't

781
00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:45.679
<v Speaker 2>win it again this year because I don't like the Chiefs.

782
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:49.280
<v Speaker 2>But nonetheless, you know, that's the best matchup to get.

783
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:51.320
<v Speaker 2>This season started on Thursday, and I look forward to it.

784
00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:53.400
<v Speaker 2>All Right, we're out of time again. Enjoy your evening

785
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:55.079
<v Speaker 2>and come back and join us right here tomorrow at

786
00:36:55.039 --> 00:37:01.880
