00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Who's the kidd here? Who's the kidd here? Are you

2
00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>kidding me? Now? Here's Nick Coffee.

3
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.600
<v Speaker 2>So far this football season, Mondays have been have been

4
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.640
<v Speaker 2>pretty fun on the show, and I guess we can

5
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:29.960
<v Speaker 2>try to have some fun today. But for the first

6
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:32.359
<v Speaker 2>time this year, we are starting a week coming off

7
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.640
<v Speaker 2>of a loss for Jeff Brohm and the Louisville Cardinals

8
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.920
<v Speaker 2>in a game that I still think it might be

9
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:44.799
<v Speaker 2>on its own as far as just the insanely frustrating feeling,

10
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.000
<v Speaker 2>but also kind of knowing it's not like that big

11
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:49.840
<v Speaker 2>of a like, you know, it's not as if we

12
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 2>learned on Saturday that the team that you know, we

13
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.079
<v Speaker 2>think is pretty good, like that they stink. I mean,

14
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:57.880
<v Speaker 2>we're not there. But what a weird feeling. I talked

15
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:01.079
<v Speaker 2>about it on the postgame show, and usually I try

16
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 2>to kind of reset do a condensed version of that

17
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:07.840
<v Speaker 2>to start the show Monday. And sometimes there are different feelings,

18
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:12.040
<v Speaker 2>different thoughts that weren't there when I'm reacting to the game.

19
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:13.719
<v Speaker 2>As soon as it ends, like as soon as the

20
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:15.879
<v Speaker 2>clock hit zero, we just turned the mic on and

21
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:18.239
<v Speaker 2>start yapping, And that's our postgame show. And I wouldn't

22
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>have it any other way. But here we are two

23
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:21.799
<v Speaker 2>days later and I still kind of feel the same,

24
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:25.159
<v Speaker 2>And I cannot think of a different Louisville loss in

25
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.959
<v Speaker 2>my lifetime as a fan that I think gave me

26
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 2>similar feelings. I mean, there's been worse losses, trust me,

27
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:35.439
<v Speaker 2>but like that was just man that sucked to be

28
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:39.920
<v Speaker 2>in that position, to make so many mistakes and know

29
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:43.200
<v Speaker 2>that if you just maybe didn't make one, or maybe

30
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 2>if you got a questionable call to go your way,

31
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.400
<v Speaker 2>maybe you end up winning. And when you can say that,

32
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.719
<v Speaker 2>I think moving forward, it helps you feel optimistic. But

33
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:56.400
<v Speaker 2>it also to me, it's just a punch to the

34
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:00.239
<v Speaker 2>gut knowing that if you just didn't hurt yourself, probably

35
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.599
<v Speaker 2>would have walked out of there with a win. And

36
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:04.599
<v Speaker 2>that's not to take anything away from Notre Dame, because

37
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.920
<v Speaker 2>they were able to take advantage of every mistake you made.

38
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:09.400
<v Speaker 2>They made you pay, and that's what good teams are

39
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:13.039
<v Speaker 2>supposed to do. So we'll continue to react to it

40
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 2>and then put it in the rear view because you

41
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.599
<v Speaker 2>got to bounce back. You've got a game against SMU

42
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:19.919
<v Speaker 2>coming up on Saturday, and that opponent looks a lot

43
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.520
<v Speaker 2>different now than they did a few weeks ago. I mean,

44
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.039
<v Speaker 2>I think SMU is a pretty good team, and I

45
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:25.520
<v Speaker 2>think louis is a good team too. I think they're

46
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:29.159
<v Speaker 2>deserving favorites. I'm not discouraged by the personnel on this

47
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.280
<v Speaker 2>team really at all. There's one area that we need

48
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:33.080
<v Speaker 2>to discuss, and we will, but overall, I still think

49
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:36.120
<v Speaker 2>from a personnel standpoint, as far as the pieces, Louisville's

50
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.840
<v Speaker 2>got a chance to be really good. But right now

51
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:40.759
<v Speaker 2>they're about to play a team that if they win,

52
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:43.319
<v Speaker 2>it would easily be their best win of the season.

53
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:48.159
<v Speaker 2>So go do it. How about Mark Stoops and his team?

54
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Where the hell did that come from?

55
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:50.800
<v Speaker 3>What a win?

56
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Best win for Kentucky football? Probably like ever, at least

57
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:58.080
<v Speaker 2>in my lifetime. They beat Number six on the road,

58
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:02.240
<v Speaker 2>and they deserve a lot of credit for that. But

59
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:05.639
<v Speaker 2>I can't help but notice, and I'm sure I'm not

60
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 2>the only one that has noticed this, Like they're not

61
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.159
<v Speaker 2>getting as much love as you would expect a team

62
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.240
<v Speaker 2>to get for going down to Ole Miss and knocking

63
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:19.400
<v Speaker 2>off Number six and really just bullying their opponent. I mean,

64
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.479
<v Speaker 2>they're getting love, trust me. Like it's not like people

65
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.280
<v Speaker 2>are saying that they didn't deserve to win. I mean,

66
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.080
<v Speaker 2>they won, but it does seem like Ole miss is

67
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 2>getting more attention than Kentucky here because it might it

68
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.719
<v Speaker 2>might have reminded some people that Lane Kiffin a good coach,

69
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.400
<v Speaker 2>no doubt, but like he's not really won anything that

70
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:40.199
<v Speaker 2>ever matters, and there was nothing flukey about what happened

71
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:44.680
<v Speaker 2>in Oxford. I mean, I don't want to do the

72
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:46.280
<v Speaker 2>I told you so thing because that just feels weird

73
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.039
<v Speaker 2>as a Louisville fan who you know, wanted to see

74
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky lose every game they play, but even when they

75
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.800
<v Speaker 2>got busted by South Carolina, which by the way, that

76
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:57.360
<v Speaker 2>laws continues to look just very odd for them. But

77
00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.840
<v Speaker 2>like I've known all along, like they have good players,

78
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.759
<v Speaker 2>they have good personnel. They're really good defensively and they

79
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.919
<v Speaker 2>have been for a while now. On offense, you know,

80
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.479
<v Speaker 2>they're not great. They're not you know, they don't light

81
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:12.319
<v Speaker 2>it up, and they didn't do that on Saturday, but

82
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.599
<v Speaker 2>they had some guys that can make some place. I mean,

83
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Barry and Brown Dankey, those guys are pretty damn good.

84
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.720
<v Speaker 2>So it is weird though to see them get that

85
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.720
<v Speaker 2>win and have their only losses be to Georgia and

86
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:27.959
<v Speaker 2>then a blowout loss to South Carolina, which is, you know,

87
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.519
<v Speaker 2>a bad loss overall. I mean it's not terrible, but

88
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.800
<v Speaker 2>you got blown out at home. And yet there's still

89
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:35.879
<v Speaker 2>like ten places out of being ranked in the top

90
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty five. That tells me that people didn't necessarily gain

91
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:42.160
<v Speaker 2>a ton of new respect for Kentucky. But they're just

92
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 2>looking at Old miss as a bunch of frauds. And

93
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:45.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying they are. Aren't. We're gonna find out

94
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.480
<v Speaker 2>because they got a tough schedule and we'll see what

95
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:48.920
<v Speaker 2>they end up doing the rest of the way. But

96
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.399
<v Speaker 2>they were not good on Saturday. And you know what

97
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 2>that's Kentucky's doing, all right? It is Coffee and Company.

98
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 2>We are fueled by Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

99
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.079
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate you guys hanging out with us here on a

100
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.040
<v Speaker 2>Monday after noon. My name is Nick Coffee. The company

101
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.879
<v Speaker 2>man is out. He did louder than Life for a

102
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.480
<v Speaker 2>couple of days, and he just, you know, he didn't

103
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.959
<v Speaker 2>want to come in today. I mean, he took a

104
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:11.759
<v Speaker 2>planned day off, so it wasn't as if he called in,

105
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 2>but he knew that louder than life was going to

106
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>take a lot out of him to where he needed

107
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:18.560
<v Speaker 2>a day to rest. But you know who didn't need

108
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.439
<v Speaker 2>a day to rest. That's Austin Montgomery who's in the house.

109
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:23.759
<v Speaker 2>So I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure you were at

110
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.519
<v Speaker 2>every day of Louder than Life, were you not? Yeah, day,

111
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 2>and yet you're still here an bourbon and beyond last week?

112
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Are you coming for the for the for the title

113
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:32.920
<v Speaker 2>of company man? Because I kind of feel like that's

114
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.079
<v Speaker 2>what that's what this is like. This this might be

115
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>John being dethroned as we speak us.

116
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.199
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I don't want to do that to my guy, John.

117
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.399
<v Speaker 3>He was bestowed by you, the company man, and then

118
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:45.720
<v Speaker 3>this played out the way it did, and you know,

119
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:47.879
<v Speaker 3>don't sleep, John, don't sleep.

120
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean, in all seriousness, if I went to

121
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.279
<v Speaker 2>music festivals for you know, a music festival for that

122
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:55.759
<v Speaker 2>many days consecutively, I would I would probably want to

123
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:56.800
<v Speaker 2>take a day off as well.

124
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Man.

125
00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:59.639
<v Speaker 2>But Austin he didn't do that. He's he's here, he's

126
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 2>ready to go. Which we'll get to Lotter than Life

127
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.439
<v Speaker 2>because I do have a lot of questions and I

128
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:06.079
<v Speaker 2>want to kind of go back and maybe live through

129
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:07.920
<v Speaker 2>you because I love the event. He was able to

130
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.000
<v Speaker 2>go last year did not make it out any this year.

131
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:12.519
<v Speaker 2>And it's not like I regret it, but I know

132
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.439
<v Speaker 2>the vibes there are are unreal and I can't imagine

133
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:18.120
<v Speaker 2>what it was like. I feel like the vibes were

134
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:20.720
<v Speaker 2>even better because of the weather. Like what these are

135
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.839
<v Speaker 2>people that these are people that are going to embrace

136
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:25.199
<v Speaker 2>the mud and the nastiness and just turn it up

137
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 2>a notch. And I wish I would have been there,

138
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.560
<v Speaker 2>not to necessarily partake in any like you know, mud

139
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.600
<v Speaker 2>fight fling in. I mean, who knows what goes on there.

140
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:34.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's there was a lot of that, yeah,

141
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:36.439
<v Speaker 2>but like to be a fly on the wall to

142
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:38.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of just observe it would be would be a

143
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:40.959
<v Speaker 2>lot of fun. So again I would lie to you

144
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:42.920
<v Speaker 2>and tell you we're gonna like get to a lot

145
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.160
<v Speaker 2>of different things today. I mean we might, but obviously

146
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:46.839
<v Speaker 2>we're going to talk about what happened at Notre Dame,

147
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.480
<v Speaker 2>and we'll talk about what happened in college football. Obviously

148
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.680
<v Speaker 2>at the thrilling matchup between I mean Georgia and Alabama.

149
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.199
<v Speaker 2>That game could not have worked out any better. If

150
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.120
<v Speaker 2>you're just somebody watching without a dog in the fight

151
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.279
<v Speaker 2>that wanted to be entertained. And it looked like you

152
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.839
<v Speaker 2>were gonna be able to go to bed early because

153
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:07.439
<v Speaker 2>Bama comes out and just completely whipping George's tail, only

154
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:11.160
<v Speaker 2>for Georgia to come back in miraculous fashion to take

155
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.639
<v Speaker 2>the lead only for one play. I mean, what a game,

156
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.519
<v Speaker 2>what a thrilling finish, and uh, Bama, you got it.

157
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:20.959
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I know it's not Nick Saban anymore, but

158
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't see them slowing down really any You know,

159
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:27.560
<v Speaker 2>people were making the lame joke, like it's a lame joke,

160
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:29.360
<v Speaker 2>but like I get while people are making it, but

161
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.759
<v Speaker 2>it was like so predictable and there were so many

162
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.360
<v Speaker 2>people doing it that like before it was ever even

163
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:38.839
<v Speaker 2>put out there into the earth, like you already knew

164
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 2>it was gonna be underwhelming, because again it's just you know,

165
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:43.480
<v Speaker 2>you walk into it. But when Bama was up, what

166
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:45.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty one nothing or twenty eight nothing, So I guess

167
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Nick Saban was holding Alabama back. Oh, like I mean,

168
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, like it that's not really funny at all,

169
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.439
<v Speaker 2>But again I'm making sense here. It lost any chance

170
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:56.519
<v Speaker 2>of being funny when you knew that everyone was gonna

171
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:59.839
<v Speaker 2>do it and try to like be clever. But Carolyn,

172
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.720
<v Speaker 2>or is is I mean, he's had a hell of

173
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:04.800
<v Speaker 2>a start, not just at Olbama. I mean that was

174
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:06.319
<v Speaker 2>an impressive win for him, but I mean if you

175
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:08.279
<v Speaker 2>go back and look at where this guy was, like

176
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.120
<v Speaker 2>what seven eight years ago to where he is now,

177
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:13.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what a rise in college football coaching for

178
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.800
<v Speaker 2>this guy. Some other results from the weekend we certainly

179
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:18.439
<v Speaker 2>need to get to when it comes to college football,

180
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.079
<v Speaker 2>some just because you know, we like college football around here,

181
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 2>but others because they could impact the local teams. So look,

182
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:25.480
<v Speaker 2>if you guys want to join us on the show,

183
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.240
<v Speaker 2>you can. We'll open up the phone lines. We'll make

184
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.639
<v Speaker 2>this a show today where you guys can can react

185
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.240
<v Speaker 2>and sound off, maybe get some things off your chest.

186
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:34.360
<v Speaker 2>Maybe if you called the postgame show, maybe you've got

187
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:36.840
<v Speaker 2>different thoughts now compared to what you felt as soon

188
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:39.360
<v Speaker 2>as that being ended on Saturday. But either way, the

189

196
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Listen live on the Alheart Radio. Have listened live at

197
00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:00.320
<v Speaker 2>seven ninety Louisville dot Com. I'm not just you know,

198
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.320
<v Speaker 2>trying to delay the inevitable, which is just to break

199
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.320
<v Speaker 2>down all of the times Louisville shot themselves in the

200
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:08.320
<v Speaker 2>foot only for it to you know, come back and

201
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:12.759
<v Speaker 2>bite them. But somebody stole my my headphones, and I'm upset.

202
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:19.480
<v Speaker 2>I use the old school wired Apple headphones. Yeah, like

203
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:22.720
<v Speaker 2>the earbuds, yeah, earbuds. Yeah, So I use those, and

204
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:26.320
<v Speaker 2>I for a long time would just keep them with

205
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.440
<v Speaker 2>me in my backpack, and then, you know, after a while,

206
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, look, there's like two people that use this studio,

207
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:34.039
<v Speaker 2>so I might as well, you know, might as well

208
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:35.879
<v Speaker 2>just leave them here, right, don't. I mean, I just

209
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:38.279
<v Speaker 2>leave them right next to the board here. And I

210
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:40.320
<v Speaker 2>come in today and like, all the other stuff's here,

211
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:42.679
<v Speaker 2>but my headphones are gone. And I don't know who

212
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:44.519
<v Speaker 2>did it. I don't think he was Shannon the dude,

213
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:46.799
<v Speaker 2>because he's had plenty of opportunities. He's here every day

214
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:48.759
<v Speaker 2>in the studio and they've been sitting there and he's

215
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.320
<v Speaker 2>been able to resist temptation from stealing my headphones. And

216
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.639
<v Speaker 2>he's also my guy. He wouldn't do that. I don't

217
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:57.080
<v Speaker 2>think that all of a sudden, after his cats take

218
00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:58.879
<v Speaker 2>down Ole Miss, that he can't fight the urge to

219
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:03.080
<v Speaker 2>steal my my earpot What they call earbuds.

220
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:04.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I guess the old school earbud.

221
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:05.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean, I still call them headphones, but I

222
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:07.759
<v Speaker 2>guess technically they are referred to as earbuds.

223
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:09.919
<v Speaker 3>I would consider what you're wearing now was like head

224
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:12.440
<v Speaker 3>fund the big cans. Yes, Oh I hate these things, man,

225
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:14.440
<v Speaker 3>I actually like them. It makes me feel more radio.

226
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.799
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely hate them, and I don't know, I just hate

227
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.080
<v Speaker 2>how I sound in them. I feel like I'm I've got,

228
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, like a satellite attached to my head right now.

229
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:25.639
<v Speaker 2>It's just I don't know. And comfort is crucial in

230
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:27.080
<v Speaker 2>what we do, at least in my opinion for me

231
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.320
<v Speaker 2>it is. Maybe others it's not. And I'm just not

232
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:31.759
<v Speaker 2>comfortable with these stupid ass headphones on and it's pissing

233
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:33.120
<v Speaker 2>me off. But you know what, I'll get through it.

234
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:35.600
<v Speaker 2>I'll get through it. I should have brought it back up,

235
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:38.440
<v Speaker 2>but I didn't. It's on me. I think I know

236
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:42.039
<v Speaker 2>who I need to go after though, because the and

237
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:44.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm kind of joking, but like I'm kind of not

238
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:50.440
<v Speaker 2>that makes sense. Like the Racing Loo broadcast on Saturday

239
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:52.519
<v Speaker 2>was a road game, so when they're on the road,

240
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.840
<v Speaker 2>they actually do the live play by play that you

241
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:58.919
<v Speaker 2>hear on our stations from this studio. They don't travel

242
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:00.879
<v Speaker 2>with the team for road games. They're doing the radio

243
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.679
<v Speaker 2>broadcast for a game that's not at Lynn Family Stadium.

244
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:04.480
<v Speaker 2>They're in here.

245
00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:05.559
<v Speaker 3>I did not know that.

246
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.159
<v Speaker 2>And they were in here on Saturday. And now my

247
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:10.440
<v Speaker 2>headphones are gone. So like again, like it's not that

248
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:15.919
<v Speaker 2>big of a deal. I'm not accusing anybody directly, although

249
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.399
<v Speaker 2>I kind of kind of did, I guess. I'm just

250
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:20.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm just laying out what happened. I'm laying out that

251
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:23.519
<v Speaker 2>the headphones were sitting here as they usually are, in

252
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:27.039
<v Speaker 2>the same spot every day we have, you know, somebody

253
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.559
<v Speaker 2>coming over the weekend, and now those headphones are gone,

254
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:33.559
<v Speaker 2>but nothing else is misplaced. Again, that's not proof. I mean,

255
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.000
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't think that somebody would just grab headphones that

256
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:38.279
<v Speaker 2>they knew were not theirs, but here we are.

257
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:40.799
<v Speaker 3>It's one of two things somebody is. It's just one

258
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:42.799
<v Speaker 3>of those you know when you're in the studio, especially

259
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:44.720
<v Speaker 3>if it's one you don't come into as often as

260
00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:46.720
<v Speaker 3>you do, where you just kind of pack everything up.

261
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:48.480
<v Speaker 3>They were using that. Maybe they don't like using the

262
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:51.039
<v Speaker 3>bugear headphones, so they just kind of packed that up

263
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.039
<v Speaker 3>and put it in their bag. One A or I

264
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:55.720
<v Speaker 3>could be a honest mistake. I could could be honest mistake,

265
00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:57.440
<v Speaker 3>but I could. I love I love a good conspiracy.

266
00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:00.519
<v Speaker 3>I like to buy into Shannon. The dude just absolutely

267
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.200
<v Speaker 3>sabotaging your show. They got to got a big win

268
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:04.480
<v Speaker 3>the other.

269
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Day and lost of course.

270
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:07.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah. But also at the same time, I don't

271
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:10.240
<v Speaker 3>think those headphones are loud enough for Shannon, that's true.

272
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's I mean, how old is Shannon? Like forty

273
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:17.279
<v Speaker 2>ish something like that, maybe can forty. Oh, he's he

274
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:19.120
<v Speaker 2>does an age man. He looks like he looks like

275
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:21.559
<v Speaker 2>it looks like a Ken doll. He's a great looking guy,

276
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.480
<v Speaker 2>but like by fifty he'll be deaf completely, like double

277
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:27.519
<v Speaker 2>double double ear. What do you call him? A hearing

278
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:29.879
<v Speaker 2>aids like he'll be he'll him and Venetti will be deaf.

279
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Tony already is uh. Shannon will be though, because if

280
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:35.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't check the levels before this board fires up,

281
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.919
<v Speaker 2>and he's the one that was in here previously. I mean,

282
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.480
<v Speaker 2>I just take the headphones off after I get blasted

283
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.519
<v Speaker 2>in my ears, and just once I realize I can

284
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:45.720
<v Speaker 2>still hear, I just thank God that that that that

285
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:49.320
<v Speaker 2>instance didn't make me deaf on the spot. But I'm

286
00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:51.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna I'm gonna choose to believe that, you know, it

287
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:53.679
<v Speaker 2>could have just been a common mistake. They're they're gathering

288
00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:55.919
<v Speaker 2>up equipment, and sure enough they grabbed a pair of

289
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:58.679
<v Speaker 2>headphones they thought were their's earbuds, I should say, and

290
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:00.279
<v Speaker 2>you know they weren't.

291
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:02.159
<v Speaker 3>We're gonna have to be on headphone watch if it's

292
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:03.080
<v Speaker 3>not there by next week.

293
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:03.440
<v Speaker 4>Yep.

294
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.200
<v Speaker 2>And I don't forget these kind of things too. Just

295
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.519
<v Speaker 2>see you guys, know, just just be aware, all right?

296
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:10.879
<v Speaker 1>Uh?

297
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Where shall we start with with Louisville Really just a

298
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:24.960
<v Speaker 2>disappointing result for sure, but not to regurgitate. But Louisville played.

299
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:27.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, how would you even say they played if

300
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:29.559
<v Speaker 2>you watched that game from start to finish, because if

301
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:31.720
<v Speaker 2>you made enough plays to make it interesting to where

302
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:34.320
<v Speaker 2>you had, you had the ball late driving at their place,

303
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:37.039
<v Speaker 2>you were playing freaking Notre Dame in South Bend. And yes,

304
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:39.720
<v Speaker 2>I know that they're lost in northern Illinois as a

305
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:42.080
<v Speaker 2>head scratcher, but still, I mean, they've got good players

306
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:45.039
<v Speaker 2>and a win they were whatld have had a lot

307
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:47.080
<v Speaker 2>of value and to know that you didn't get to

308
00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:51.679
<v Speaker 2>walk away with the valuable win. But it really is

309
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.200
<v Speaker 2>mostly because of just dumb mistake after dumb mistake. Like

310
00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:58.639
<v Speaker 2>it's just it's maddening. And I'm not trying to do

311
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.440
<v Speaker 2>the sore loser thing like louill didn't, you know, like

312
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:03.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm not trying to act like Notre Dame didn't take

313
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:05.679
<v Speaker 2>it like Louisville did it last week against Georgia Tech,

314
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:07.759
<v Speaker 2>the same thing Notre Dame did. I mean, Louisville had

315
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:12.000
<v Speaker 2>some breaks go their way where you know it's not

316
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:15.039
<v Speaker 2>luck necessarily, but you took advantage of Georgia Tech making

317
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:17.399
<v Speaker 2>some big mistakes. You blocked a field goal and the

318
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:19.879
<v Speaker 2>ball goll ends up popping up right to one of

319
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:22.159
<v Speaker 2>your guys as he's in stride to take it to

320
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:25.440
<v Speaker 2>the house for a touchdown. Haines King went full Will

321
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:27.679
<v Speaker 2>Levis and made a really dumb pass and you took

322
00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:31.120
<v Speaker 2>advantage of it. So it's not luck, it's just hey,

323
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:33.360
<v Speaker 2>if it cheam's gonna make a mistake and you were,

324
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:35.799
<v Speaker 2>you made an impact in that mistake, then you man,

325
00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:37.360
<v Speaker 2>if you make them pay for it, like that's the

326
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.159
<v Speaker 2>best of both worlds. That's what you're supposed to do.

327
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:42.039
<v Speaker 2>That's how games completely flip, and that's what Notre Dame

328
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:45.759
<v Speaker 2>did Louisville. So you know, credit to Notre Dame, but like,

329
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:47.639
<v Speaker 2>I still don't know how good they are. I mean,

330
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:49.679
<v Speaker 2>look at the box score. I mean Louisville out gained

331
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:51.879
<v Speaker 2>them three hundred and ninety five yards to two hundred

332
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:54.879
<v Speaker 2>and eighty. They had more yards on the ground, more

333
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:59.759
<v Speaker 2>yards through the air, nearly double the amount of first

334
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:04.159
<v Speaker 2>down they had. I mean, it was it was a

335
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:06.679
<v Speaker 2>game where I don't feel like Notre Dame is that good.

336
00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:09.679
<v Speaker 2>But you know that's not their fault, right, I mean,

337
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:11.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess it is. They should be better.

338
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:14.200
<v Speaker 2>But my point is I could deal with this a

339
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:16.759
<v Speaker 2>little bit easier if I felt like you went up

340
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:18.879
<v Speaker 2>there and you lost to a Notre Dame team to

341
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:21.080
<v Speaker 2>where you just knew you lined up against them on

342
00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:23.360
<v Speaker 2>certain plays in certain instances of the game, and you

343
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:26.399
<v Speaker 2>realize you're just outmanned and you're just you know, it's

344
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.320
<v Speaker 2>gonna be really tough for you because they got some

345
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:30.360
<v Speaker 2>dudes that you just can't account for. That's not what

346
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.240
<v Speaker 2>this was at all. Now, they did bully our offensive

347
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.159
<v Speaker 2>line when it comes to pass protection, but other than that,

348
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Louis was a better team I think. And again it

349
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:39.639
<v Speaker 2>sounds like such sore loser stuff because if you don't

350
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:41.960
<v Speaker 2>win the game and you still claim you're the better team,

351
00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:44.279
<v Speaker 2>yeah you can say that, but it really doesn't matter

352
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:46.799
<v Speaker 2>because you didn't win. You played the game for four quarters,

353
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.360
<v Speaker 2>they scored more points than you when it ended, therefore

354
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:57.279
<v Speaker 2>you lost. So I mean, just frustrating beyond belief for me.

355
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:00.360
<v Speaker 2>But it's nice to know that, like I still feel

356
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:01.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean, again, you don't have to feel a way

357
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:03.440
<v Speaker 2>I feel. I'm sure you feel different. Maybe you feel

358
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:05.000
<v Speaker 2>the same, it doesn't matter. You can feel the way

359
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:06.879
<v Speaker 2>you want to feel. But like, I still have a

360
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:09.679
<v Speaker 2>lot of confidence in this team as far as what

361
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:11.480
<v Speaker 2>they can do. I gotta see it you know, I

362
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:13.120
<v Speaker 2>got to see them put together a clean game. They

363
00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:14.840
<v Speaker 2>haven't done that yet in the only two games they

364
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:19.960
<v Speaker 2>play that matter. I mean, what happened against Jacksonville State

365
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:22.320
<v Speaker 2>and Austin p You know whatever, you got to play

366
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:23.919
<v Speaker 2>who's on the schedule. You took care of business. But

367
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:26.879
<v Speaker 2>those games don't mean anything. So you play two games

368
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:29.919
<v Speaker 2>and you didn't play clean football and you didn't look sharp.

369
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:32.919
<v Speaker 2>And those are things you can control that has nothing

370
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:37.240
<v Speaker 2>to do with you know, a bad call or you know,

371
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:41.759
<v Speaker 2>just a mistake like coming out sloppy. You just can't

372
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:44.120
<v Speaker 2>be sloppy and make that many mistakes and really expect

373
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:46.240
<v Speaker 2>to beat anybody. But yet you almost did. But again,

374
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:48.320
<v Speaker 2>keep going in circles here, because that's what makes this

375
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:50.919
<v Speaker 2>whole thing so frustrating, is that all these things that

376
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.360
<v Speaker 2>like you just know, well, yeah, if you snap the

377
00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:55.080
<v Speaker 2>ball over the punter's head and you give them a

378
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.679
<v Speaker 2>touchdown from that, well yeah, good luck winning, because you

379
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:01.120
<v Speaker 2>can't make those kind of mistakes and still win. A

380
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:04.279
<v Speaker 2>perfect pass from Tyler Shuck to Jacory Brooks, who's a

381
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:07.319
<v Speaker 2>great player, but he bobbles it and they get an

382
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:09.640
<v Speaker 2>interception and get a short field for an easy, you know,

383
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:15.359
<v Speaker 2>for an easy score. Tyler shuck showing some wheels, fifty

384
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:17.799
<v Speaker 2>yard gain it seemed, and then he goes down loses

385
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:19.319
<v Speaker 2>the ball. Like those are all things you think. You

386
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:20.920
<v Speaker 2>do one of those, You're like, well, it's gonna be

387
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:22.920
<v Speaker 2>tough to win now. But you did all those things

388
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:27.920
<v Speaker 2>and then made more mistakes, had more bad decisions, mismanagement

389
00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:32.720
<v Speaker 2>with the clock, play calling on fourth down, like all

390
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:35.559
<v Speaker 2>these things went against well you did it to yourself,

391
00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:37.480
<v Speaker 2>but like, these are all mistakes that if you make

392
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:40.640
<v Speaker 2>one of them, you're gonna think, oh, man, I really

393
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:42.640
<v Speaker 2>hope when this thing ends, we're not thinking back to

394
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:44.160
<v Speaker 2>that play or that play.

395
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:44.799
<v Speaker 1>You did all of.

396
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:46.559
<v Speaker 2>Them and yet you still could have won. So there

397
00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:50.559
<v Speaker 2>is a silver lining there kind of. But I've yet

398
00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:52.119
<v Speaker 2>to really get to the point where I'm gonna just

399
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:55.680
<v Speaker 2>fully bray embrace the silver lining aspect rather than just

400
00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:57.759
<v Speaker 2>thinking to myself, how the hell can we be so sloppy?

401
00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:03.079
<v Speaker 2>You know, how can Jeff Braum, you know, not just

402
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:08.000
<v Speaker 2>take the three points there? And you know it wasn't

403
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.039
<v Speaker 2>about running out of time there of course at the

404
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:12.079
<v Speaker 2>end of the first half, but like, how about you

405
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:13.400
<v Speaker 2>take a time out? You got three of them and

406
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:15.440
<v Speaker 2>just figure out, Hey, we know we're not taking three,

407
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:16.960
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna try to score here, so let's call it

408
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:19.440
<v Speaker 2>time out instead of being rushed and figure out what

409
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:22.279
<v Speaker 2>we want to do. Let's let's let's really take advantage

410
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:24.039
<v Speaker 2>of these timeouts and get a game plan together so

411
00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:26.319
<v Speaker 2>we can execute better at the end of the half.

412
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.359
<v Speaker 2>And they did exactly the opposite. So it's just it's

413
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:32.440
<v Speaker 2>frustrating in a in a major way.

414
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:34.920
<v Speaker 3>I would also like to think, I mean, you just

415
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:36.920
<v Speaker 3>mentioned it at the top of the show, trying to

416
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:40.160
<v Speaker 3>find out what this loss felt like to other previous

417
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:43.079
<v Speaker 3>Louisville losses. I guess you can kind of go recently

418
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:45.359
<v Speaker 3>to last year at Pittsburgh, but there's a lot of

419
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.640
<v Speaker 3>factoris that was a sloppy game, and then I still

420
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.440
<v Speaker 3>don't believe that anybody had full trust in the quarterback. Wherever,

421
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:53.839
<v Speaker 3>when you walk away from this game at Notre Dame,

422
00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:57.119
<v Speaker 3>you feel even better about the quarterback situation and you

423
00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:59.200
<v Speaker 3>don't feel I wouldn't say not feel as great, but

424
00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:01.279
<v Speaker 3>you come away quest the play calling and some of

425
00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:04.640
<v Speaker 3>the time management that Jeff Brohm had. But there's just

426
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:08.519
<v Speaker 3>a silly interception, silly mistakes, let's just say, bad spots,

427
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:11.799
<v Speaker 3>and just putting yourself in these crucial moments. Last year,

428
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:13.920
<v Speaker 3>even though you are the better team, I didn't feel

429
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:16.359
<v Speaker 3>like there's a lot of players or Louisville find themselves

430
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:19.000
<v Speaker 3>beyond the markers too much, because you had the athleticism

431
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:21.400
<v Speaker 3>was shook showed a lot. Not only watched just in

432
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:23.519
<v Speaker 3>between breaks of when I can you know, in between

433
00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:26.000
<v Speaker 3>mosh pitting and all that, but it was every time

434
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:28.319
<v Speaker 3>I turned it on, there was just something silly happening.

435
00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:29.680
<v Speaker 3>And you can talk about.

436
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:32.839
<v Speaker 2>It not being able to get out of your own way, ketchley.

437
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:35.599
<v Speaker 3>Drop passes that turn into interception, especially when the game

438
00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:38.440
<v Speaker 3>starts out so good for you score too later.

439
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:40.559
<v Speaker 2>You could not have asked for a better start. As

440
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:44.200
<v Speaker 2>far as how you know the first play played out,

441
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:47.839
<v Speaker 2>you know they fumble it, you score quickly. You've already

442
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:49.519
<v Speaker 2>got momentum in a place that you got to think

443
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:51.559
<v Speaker 2>it'd be hard to get momentum there unless something like

444
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:54.839
<v Speaker 2>that happens, and sure enough it did again. I can't

445
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:56.359
<v Speaker 2>think of a loss that I would compare this to

446
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:58.680
<v Speaker 2>as far as just how frustrating it was, but also

447
00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:01.240
<v Speaker 2>knowing that like it. It didn't change anything for you.

448
00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:03.759
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't mean that Louisville still can't control their own destiny.

449
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:05.559
<v Speaker 2>As far as winning the ACC. Do I think they're

450
00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:07.599
<v Speaker 2>gonna win the ACC as of right now? I don't.

451
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:09.960
<v Speaker 2>But you know, it's not because I'm thinking that they

452
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:12.599
<v Speaker 2>just don't have the pieces. It's just, you know, I

453
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:15.160
<v Speaker 2>got to see something better than what we've seen up

454
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:17.000
<v Speaker 2>to this point, and that's just that's that's.

455
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Where it is.

456
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Last year against Pittsburgh, that was just like, yeah, you played,

457
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:24.240
<v Speaker 2>You played a piss poor game and a team that's

458
00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:26.240
<v Speaker 2>not good took advantage of it, and you never were

459
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:28.799
<v Speaker 2>able to climb out of a hole. They did enough

460
00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:30.079
<v Speaker 2>to climb out of the hole here. They made some

461
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:34.759
<v Speaker 2>adjustments defensively, they got better. They I mean, they were

462
00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:37.599
<v Speaker 2>able to hold them scoreless in the in the third quarter,

463
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:40.799
<v Speaker 2>so you know, I I mean, in fact, the twenty

464
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:42.240
<v Speaker 2>one points you gave up to them in the first

465
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:46.039
<v Speaker 2>quarter and then that touchdown late after the interception from Shuck,

466
00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:49.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, to me, really it's it's a Cory Brooks interception,

467
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:50.759
<v Speaker 2>not a Shuck interception. But that's not what the stat

468
00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:54.119
<v Speaker 2>sheet shows. But I mean, again, it's just it's the

469
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:55.880
<v Speaker 2>same circle. I keep going and I've been doing it

470
00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:59.359
<v Speaker 2>since Saturday during the postgame show. All the things you

471
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:01.000
<v Speaker 2>did to lose the game and yet you still could

472
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:03.680
<v Speaker 2>have won. There's two ways to look at that. It's like, Okay, well, hey,

473
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:05.920
<v Speaker 2>at least we know we're capable. We just gotta we

474
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:09.599
<v Speaker 2>gotta fix some issues. And these issues are fixable. It's fixable.

475
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:13.440
<v Speaker 2>It's it's not something you gotta go practice. When it

476
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:15.440
<v Speaker 2>comes to coming out of a timeout and having twelve

477
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:17.519
<v Speaker 2>guys on the field on defense, that's that's just not

478
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:21.519
<v Speaker 2>being stupid. So again, these are things that you can

479
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:25.000
<v Speaker 2>absolutely see not being an issue down the line because

480
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:26.400
<v Speaker 2>it's not like you go get It's not like you

481
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:28.680
<v Speaker 2>gotta go practice and get guys better. It's just like

482
00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:32.359
<v Speaker 2>cleaning stuff up. Don't be sloppy. But also again to

483
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:34.799
<v Speaker 2>to to know that if you just didn't hurt yourself,

484
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:38.519
<v Speaker 2>maybe one out of the billion times, seemingly you probably

485
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:39.200
<v Speaker 2>win that game.

486
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:44.640
<v Speaker 3>Hold on, I know why, I know why exactly that

487
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:46.759
<v Speaker 3>all played out Saturday, Nick, I think we're missing the

488
00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:50.519
<v Speaker 3>big point. Notre Dame wore green. I think our players

489
00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:53.160
<v Speaker 3>were a little bit confused. They had those green jerseys

490
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:56.559
<v Speaker 3>on memory. The captains of Notre Dame settled on it, right,

491
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:58.359
<v Speaker 3>They're gonna wear the green jerseys.

492
00:21:58.480 --> 00:21:59.200
<v Speaker 2>It was a big deal.

493
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:00.519
<v Speaker 3>That was a huge, huge deal.

494
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:01.920
<v Speaker 2>I think that they look good too, by the way,

495
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:03.519
<v Speaker 2>I got to say, they look good.

496
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:05.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there, that wasn't bad. It was a green out.

497
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:07.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah it looked. I mean, you just don't do that

498
00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:10.680
<v Speaker 3>every game. The captains nick the captains get together and

499
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:11.559
<v Speaker 3>they discuss that.

500
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:14.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad they chose it. I mean, it didn't have

501
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:16.200
<v Speaker 2>once the game started. I don't give a damn about

502
00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:19.039
<v Speaker 2>what they're wearing. But I will say, and it's easy

503
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:20.519
<v Speaker 2>to just forget about it now because I'm so pissed

504
00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:22.839
<v Speaker 2>about how the game played out. But both teams I

505
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:25.079
<v Speaker 2>thought looked great. Like that was a really good uniform combo,

506
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:29.319
<v Speaker 2>to be honest with you. So like a couple of things,

507
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:33.319
<v Speaker 2>I've yet to discuss the bad spots, the bad officiating,

508
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:35.920
<v Speaker 2>not because like I'm saying that, you know, we can't

509
00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:37.599
<v Speaker 2>bring that up, like I mean, we can't change it.

510
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:39.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, and they were bad calls, and maybe

511
00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:41.519
<v Speaker 2>one of those things doesn't happen and you still win

512
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:43.359
<v Speaker 2>with all your mistakes. So you know, it's not like

513
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:45.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm choosing to just ignore it, but I want to.

514
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:49.759
<v Speaker 2>I want to specifically talk about those things and go

515
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:52.559
<v Speaker 2>from there. I don't want to, you know, don't turn

516
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:53.799
<v Speaker 2>it into a show. I'm not sure. I'm not going

517
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:55.119
<v Speaker 2>to turn it into a show where we just blame

518
00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:57.920
<v Speaker 2>officiating for the loss. But you know, there's just a

519
00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:00.240
<v Speaker 2>couple of things that like we've never seen, least I've

520
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:02.200
<v Speaker 2>never seen before, Jeb Browm said to data Is press conference.

521
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:05.440
<v Speaker 2>He's never seen a pass interference called on both offense

522
00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:08.480
<v Speaker 2>and defense. Like that's insane. So we'll get to that later.

523
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:11.240
<v Speaker 2>And also, you know, it was clearly a big topic

524
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:14.440
<v Speaker 2>on the postgame show. I mean, I said it one

525
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:16.039
<v Speaker 2>of the first things I said when we started the show.

526
00:23:16.279 --> 00:23:18.359
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Brom had a really bad day, and a lot

527
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:20.200
<v Speaker 2>of you called in and kind of said the same thing.

528
00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Some took it even further. But like that's an unusual

529
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:24.559
<v Speaker 2>feeling for us, not to say he's been perfect, like

530
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:26.519
<v Speaker 2>they've lost it. I mean, I think in any game

531
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:28.440
<v Speaker 2>they've lost this year, you can look back and think

532
00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:30.400
<v Speaker 2>that he made a mistake or made a bad play call,

533
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:32.279
<v Speaker 2>or you know, I mean, it's not to say he's perfect,

534
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:37.559
<v Speaker 2>but with such a big game in such a monumental

535
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:40.119
<v Speaker 2>opportunity blown because the team wasn't ready to play and

536
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:43.319
<v Speaker 2>because some of the decisions he made. I mean, like

537
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:45.359
<v Speaker 2>that's an unusual feeling for a lot of people. But hey,

538
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:47.759
<v Speaker 2>we got a call like it is. He was certainly

539
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:51.240
<v Speaker 2>a factor in the result on Saturday, and he would

540
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:53.720
<v Speaker 2>probably tell you the same thing. So, you know, I

541
00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:56.279
<v Speaker 2>think we were toxic as a fan base for so

542
00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:58.559
<v Speaker 2>long with basketball and football that any time you would

543
00:23:58.559 --> 00:24:04.839
<v Speaker 2>criticize a coach or you know, express frustration, I think

544
00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:06.519
<v Speaker 2>some people would act as if you were turning it

545
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:08.359
<v Speaker 2>into you want to get rid of the guy or something.

546
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:11.279
<v Speaker 2>And because we were toxic, like Saderfield was a weird

547
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:13.960
<v Speaker 2>thing to be honest with you, from the South Carolina

548
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:18.480
<v Speaker 2>situation on you know, the end of Mac, the whole

549
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Kenny Payne thing for the first you know, if you remember,

550
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:21.920
<v Speaker 2>for the first year, there were still people acting like

551
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:23.880
<v Speaker 2>that wasn't a disaster. So like, I think we can

552
00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:26.200
<v Speaker 2>and look, Jeff's one of our own. So like, I

553
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:28.640
<v Speaker 2>think if there is a silver lining for me, I

554
00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:30.839
<v Speaker 2>think we now know like we have a healthy and

555
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:32.759
<v Speaker 2>safe space where we can be critical of our coach,

556
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:34.240
<v Speaker 2>but no, we love our coach and know that he's

557
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:37.440
<v Speaker 2>good enough to be. You know, he's good enough to be.

558
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:41.079
<v Speaker 2>He's good enough for Louisville to be a serious team, right.

559
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:43.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's still a top twenty caliber team right now.

560
00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:45.359
<v Speaker 2>They went to the a SEC championship game last year.

561
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:47.519
<v Speaker 2>So it's just, you know, it stood out to me

562
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:50.480
<v Speaker 2>that nobody's making it personal. Nobody's saying the guy is

563
00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:52.880
<v Speaker 2>a bum. But there was a lot of criticism thrown

564
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:55.240
<v Speaker 2>his way, which I don't think we had been there before.

565
00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:57.839
<v Speaker 2>And yet you know, I think he wouldn't have it

566
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:00.759
<v Speaker 2>any other way. I think he understands. So all right,

567
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:02.160
<v Speaker 2>let's get to our first break. We'll come back on

568
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:04.279
<v Speaker 2>the other side. Keep this thing rolling along. If you

569

<v Speaker 2>want to join us on the show, you can. Phone

572

573
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Ninety Now back to coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's

574
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:34.279
<v Speaker 1>on Sports Talk seven nine day.

575
00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:41.960
<v Speaker 2>You know one thing I'm aware of, but I'll be

576
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:44.839
<v Speaker 2>honest with you, I haven't thought about it at all

577
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:49.079
<v Speaker 2>since since since before the game, to be honest with you,

578
00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:52.039
<v Speaker 2>but all those things that we know Louisville did wrong

579
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:54.440
<v Speaker 2>that played a big role in them losing coming up

580
00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:56.960
<v Speaker 2>short to Notre Dame is you didn't have Quincy Riley,

581
00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:59.319
<v Speaker 2>who a lot of people think is your best NFL prospect.

582
00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:02.880
<v Speaker 2>So that's an another thing that honestly, it depends on

583
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:04.079
<v Speaker 2>how you want to view it. Do you want to

584
00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:07.079
<v Speaker 2>feel like, Okay, well man, that's another thing that we

585
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:09.519
<v Speaker 2>still played well enough to have a chance to win,

586
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:12.119
<v Speaker 2>and that's another thing that was going against us, So

587
00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:14.519
<v Speaker 2>I feel good or you can say damn. That makes

588
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:18.000
<v Speaker 2>it even worse to know that, you know, with everything

589
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:21.839
<v Speaker 2>working against you as far as well, maybe it's not

590
00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:23.720
<v Speaker 2>fair to say turnovers are going against you. I mean,

591
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:25.759
<v Speaker 2>you did that. That's not bad luck. I mean maybe

592
00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:27.039
<v Speaker 2>some people view it that way, but.

593
00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:29.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't.

594
00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you turn it over rather it be

595
00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:35.799
<v Speaker 2>a fumble or an interception, you know that's your fault.

596
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:39.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the interception that was thrown by Tyler Shuck

597
00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:41.599
<v Speaker 2>was not his fault, but it was ja Cory Brooks fault.

598
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Therefore it's Louisville's fault. So it is Coffee and Company.

599
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:46.880
<v Speaker 2>We are feeled about Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:00.000
<v Speaker 3>With theory.

607
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:02.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, five oh two five seventy nine hundred is

608
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:04.799
<v Speaker 2>the number. If you guys want to give us a call,

609
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:07.559
<v Speaker 2>Text Lion Ellen n Federal Credit Union text line five

610
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:10.279
<v Speaker 2>oh two six five to three zero, seven ninety. So,

611
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:13.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't feel like we really need to

612
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:18.039
<v Speaker 2>reset and list all the big mistakes that Louisville made.

613
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:21.599
<v Speaker 2>But I'll try to rapid fire through this. But all

614
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:24.519
<v Speaker 2>of their turnovers were avoidable. I mean, think about it,

615
00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:27.839
<v Speaker 2>the the fumble from shock. I mean again, make you know,

616
00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:30.480
<v Speaker 2>give credit to the defense, but that's again, that's your vault,

617
00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:34.359
<v Speaker 2>and he knows that snapping the ball over the punter's head,

618
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:37.200
<v Speaker 2>that's something you did that really had nothing to do

619
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:39.920
<v Speaker 2>with notre Dame. If anything, you give credit to their crowd, right,

620
00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:42.039
<v Speaker 2>maybe they were so loud you were just spazzing out

621
00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:45.759
<v Speaker 2>out there as the long snapper. And then you know

622
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:50.599
<v Speaker 2>the interception that that happened later in the game and

623
00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame scored seventeen points off those mistakes. I mean,

624
00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:58.079
<v Speaker 2>that's I mean, that's that's crucial. I mean, that's that's

625
00:27:58.359 --> 00:28:01.960
<v Speaker 2>that's scary. You can't do that and win. And then

626
00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:06.960
<v Speaker 2>you mix in those mistakes with I mean, the play

627
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:09.839
<v Speaker 2>calling from you know, from Jeff at the end of

628
00:28:09.880 --> 00:28:12.640
<v Speaker 2>the half was just like so not him, and it

629
00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:16.039
<v Speaker 2>just seemed like, I don't know, somebody put me on

630
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:18.079
<v Speaker 2>the spot on the postgame show and asked me to,

631
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:21.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, try to you know, I guess guess what

632
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:25.599
<v Speaker 2>he was thinking with that decision to you know, to

633
00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:28.519
<v Speaker 2>stretch the edges when you need just one yard? Why

634
00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:30.559
<v Speaker 2>not just running up the middle with Isaac Brown, I mean,

635
00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:32.680
<v Speaker 2>or maybe do a QB sneak, like to try to

636
00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:36.480
<v Speaker 2>go outside with Donald Cheney just seemed like maybe the

637
00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:41.079
<v Speaker 2>worst thing that I mean, honestly, what do I know.

638
00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:43.519
<v Speaker 2>I know nothing about football as far as play calling,

639
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:47.119
<v Speaker 2>and Jeff's probably already forgotten more in the last fifteen

640
00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:49.440
<v Speaker 2>minutes than I'll ever know. So it's not as if, like,

641
00:28:49.559 --> 00:28:52.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, he should listen to me, But I feel

642
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:54.160
<v Speaker 2>like if you gave me options of what to do

643
00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:56.000
<v Speaker 2>in that situation towards the end of the first half,

644
00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:58.119
<v Speaker 2>when you're trying to get a first down, that would

645
00:28:58.119 --> 00:29:00.480
<v Speaker 2>have been the last one that I chose. So maybe

646
00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:03.640
<v Speaker 2>he just said to himself, well, this is this is

647
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:05.279
<v Speaker 2>not at all what they're going to expect, so let's

648
00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:07.960
<v Speaker 2>do that. Let's let's let's give it to Donald Cheney

649
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:09.720
<v Speaker 2>and try to stretch and try to stretch the edge

650
00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:11.720
<v Speaker 2>because they won't see that coming. And you know, it

651
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:12.960
<v Speaker 2>was a risk and it didn't work out. I had

652
00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:16.400
<v Speaker 2>no problem with him being aggressive, and I would have

653
00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:20.119
<v Speaker 2>taken the three. But you know, I'm not even that

654
00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:23.039
<v Speaker 2>bothered that he decided to keep going and try to

655
00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:26.119
<v Speaker 2>punch one in. I'm just really disappointed and surprised what

656
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:30.839
<v Speaker 2>he chose to do with that decision, meaning those play calls,

657
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:32.559
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, I think they got the person down on

658
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:35.079
<v Speaker 2>one of them, and the fact that they didn't, you know,

659
00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:38.599
<v Speaker 2>they didn't get reviewed is you know, it's another thing

660
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:40.160
<v Speaker 2>you can just add to the list of what really

661
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:40.880
<v Speaker 2>frustrated you.

662
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:43.440
<v Speaker 3>And he didn't.

663
00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:47.880
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't like he you know, didn't utilize those timeouts,

664
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:50.599
<v Speaker 2>and that impacted Louisville being able to even get a

665
00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:53.799
<v Speaker 2>play in before the half came to an end. But

666
00:29:54.079 --> 00:29:57.039
<v Speaker 2>to see just kind of how disorganized they were, and

667
00:29:57.160 --> 00:29:59.400
<v Speaker 2>it seemed like every time they got to the to

668
00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:01.759
<v Speaker 2>the you know, to the line, it just kind of

669
00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:04.279
<v Speaker 2>felt like they weren't. I shouldn't say they were disorganized,

670
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:06.839
<v Speaker 2>but like I could just get a sense that many

671
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:09.279
<v Speaker 2>of the plays the offense kind of looked unsure themselves,

672
00:30:09.599 --> 00:30:11.960
<v Speaker 2>especially as the play clock the play clock started to

673
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:14.799
<v Speaker 2>get you know, lower and lower. So why not utilize

674
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:16.440
<v Speaker 2>those timeouts? I know, you want to go fast, maybe

675
00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:18.079
<v Speaker 2>catch them off catch them off guard, have them on

676
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:20.400
<v Speaker 2>their heels. But like when it looks as if this

677
00:30:20.599 --> 00:30:24.000
<v Speaker 2>is not going to go well, call time out. I mean,

678
00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:25.920
<v Speaker 2>you had three of them and they didn't use them.

679
00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:28.119
<v Speaker 2>And that's just again I thought that was that was

680
00:30:28.160 --> 00:30:31.480
<v Speaker 2>a head scratcher from coach Brown. You know, he had

681
00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:34.119
<v Speaker 2>a bad day. You know, he's had many many good days.

682
00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:37.200
<v Speaker 2>I think this is an outlier, but it is just

683
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:39.440
<v Speaker 2>a it's really disappointing to know that this team has

684
00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:42.559
<v Speaker 2>played two games against real teams and both times they've

685
00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:45.680
<v Speaker 2>come out and they've been sloppy. Against Georgia Tech it

686
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:48.920
<v Speaker 2>was penalties and just being disjointed, and against Notre Dame,

687
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.759
<v Speaker 2>it was just dumb mistake after dumb mistake and sloppiness

688
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:55.839
<v Speaker 2>that was due to play calling, decision making from the

689
00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:58.200
<v Speaker 2>coaching staff. I mean, getting twelve guys on the field

690
00:30:58.839 --> 00:31:01.359
<v Speaker 2>right out of a timeout on d defense, it's just inexcusable.

691
00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:03.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that is just I mean, that's that's egregious.

692
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:11.480
<v Speaker 2>So I think you do something enough times, it becomes

693
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:14.960
<v Speaker 2>your identity. Yeah, it's fixable. Yeah, it's an easy it's

694
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:17.599
<v Speaker 2>an easy thing to like not do, but if you

695
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:19.359
<v Speaker 2>do it enough, that's who you are. And I'm not

696
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:23.640
<v Speaker 2>saying Louisvill's identity is a sloppy football team, but we're

697
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:25.160
<v Speaker 2>not far from it. I mean, if they come out

698
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:27.880
<v Speaker 2>and they look as if they just aren't sharp and

699
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:29.880
<v Speaker 2>they're sloppy once again, but yet they still hold on

700
00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:32.319
<v Speaker 2>to batsmu Hey, I'll take a win. But like I

701
00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:34.079
<v Speaker 2>want to see him, I'm not asking for perfection. I'm

702
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:35.200
<v Speaker 2>not asking him to go out there and not commit

703
00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:36.599
<v Speaker 2>a penalty. I'm not asking him to go out there

704
00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:38.640
<v Speaker 2>and not make a mistake. I mean, things happen. But

705
00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:44.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, in previous brom coached games, even last year,

706
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:46.240
<v Speaker 2>they had stretches of sloppy play and then they cleaned

707
00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:48.599
<v Speaker 2>it up and really you know, got it rolling and

708
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:50.319
<v Speaker 2>that kind of you know, they did well enough to

709
00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:52.920
<v Speaker 2>fight back. The defense made some adjustments. You know, clearly

710
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:55.000
<v Speaker 2>the offense made some place. Tyler Shuck looked good to me,

711
00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:57.440
<v Speaker 2>and I mean really good. His stat line will not

712
00:31:57.519 --> 00:31:59.519
<v Speaker 2>show you how good he actually was. If you watch

713
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:01.480
<v Speaker 2>that game, Ja Corey Brooks, that guy is a baller.

714
00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:04.359
<v Speaker 2>A really costly mistake on his end, but man, he's good.

715
00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:07.559
<v Speaker 2>Colin Lacey, you know what's he doing? His debut at

716
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:09.039
<v Speaker 2>Louisville make maybe the catch.

717
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:09.240
<v Speaker 3>Of the year.

718
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:14.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's special. So, you know, just a frustrating loss,

719
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:16.480
<v Speaker 2>no doubt. But we'll let you guys react. If I

720
00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:17.680
<v Speaker 2>go to if I have seven to one, seventy nine

721
00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:19.279
<v Speaker 2>hundred is the number. If you want to give us

722
00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:21.240
<v Speaker 2>a call, let's go to the phone lines. We will

723
00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:24.160
<v Speaker 2>welcome in Ben Ben. How are you doing this afternoon? Brother?

724
00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:25.319
<v Speaker 4>Hey?

725
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:25.680
<v Speaker 2>What's up?

726
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:26.240
<v Speaker 4>Nick man?

727
00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:27.759
<v Speaker 1>Man?

728
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:30.559
<v Speaker 4>I was mad after the game. Man, I couldn't call

729
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:32.240
<v Speaker 4>it in. I ain't want to cuss none, but man,

730
00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:35.480
<v Speaker 4>I hear you. It was frustraight And I did listen though.

731
00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:37.240
<v Speaker 4>On my way back to South Being, I went up

732
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:39.279
<v Speaker 4>there and it was you had a good show.

733
00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:40.400
<v Speaker 2>How was the atmosphere?

734
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:43.599
<v Speaker 1>Man, it was not.

735
00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:46.680
<v Speaker 4>It was good. I would go again, but I think

736
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:49.440
<v Speaker 4>it's slightly overrated. We don't know how good we got it. Man,

737
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:53.440
<v Speaker 4>no bird, no, no turn back seats and he's sitting

738
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:57.039
<v Speaker 4>on bleachers. Yeah, they got one replay board.

739
00:32:57.319 --> 00:33:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm glad you said that, Ben, because I'm

740
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:01.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, to Dame. Apparently it has made some really big

741
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:03.799
<v Speaker 2>improvements to their stadium since the last time a bunch

742
00:33:03.839 --> 00:33:06.319
<v Speaker 2>of Louival fans went up there ten years ago. But

743
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:09.920
<v Speaker 2>I think what what people like really cling to when

744
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:12.000
<v Speaker 2>they prop this up as one of the best atmospheres,

745
00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:13.519
<v Speaker 2>like in all of sports. And one of the coolest

746
00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:17.000
<v Speaker 2>things to see is the tradition. And that's cool and all,

747
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:19.279
<v Speaker 2>But I'm somebody that sometimes sees tradition and I'm like, man,

748
00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:22.240
<v Speaker 2>it's just old, Like I went to Kieron Indoor, Kevin Indoor,

749
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:24.400
<v Speaker 2>just old and small, like that doesn't make it cool

750
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:26.279
<v Speaker 2>to me, but you know, everybody's got their own preference.

751
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:28.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I just felt like I was kind of going

752
00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:31.680
<v Speaker 4>to church and a football you know. I mean, like

753
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:33.559
<v Speaker 4>I said, I will go again just cause, you know,

754
00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:36.759
<v Speaker 4>but it was a little overrated, and I you know,

755
00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:39.079
<v Speaker 4>I got some flat from Norre Dame fans on Twitter.

756
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:41.079
<v Speaker 4>They all just keep calling me fat because I want

757
00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:44.960
<v Speaker 4>to turn back seat. Oh well, but I mean, you know, Nick,

758
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:48.240
<v Speaker 4>I was mad after the game, but I feel better

759
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:50.440
<v Speaker 4>about our quarter quarterback even after the loss, that he

760
00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:54.440
<v Speaker 4>was a baller. He's a baller. And another thing, Nick,

761
00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:57.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm glad you're you're being real about you know, bron Man.

762
00:33:57.440 --> 00:33:59.920
<v Speaker 4>We love Bron He's probably all of our favorite coach

763
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:03.400
<v Speaker 4>in Louisville history already. But he had a bad game. Dude,

764
00:34:03.480 --> 00:34:06.200
<v Speaker 4>he had a bad game. And you know, for everybody

765
00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:08.480
<v Speaker 4>wanted to harp on the defense, I thought the defense

766
00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:09.239
<v Speaker 4>was solid, man.

767
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they settled in really nicely.

768
00:34:11.760 --> 00:34:12.519
<v Speaker 1>They did, man.

769
00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:14.679
<v Speaker 4>I mean the I mean Riley Winner had like one

770
00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:17.400
<v Speaker 4>hundred and fifty yards pass him. The leading rusher had

771
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:20.800
<v Speaker 4>fifty yards Russian. I mean, you know, like defense did

772
00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:24.440
<v Speaker 4>the thing. Man, But you know, long term. I think

773
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:27.320
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people are saying, you know this, that

774
00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:30.039
<v Speaker 4>game had nothing to you know, affect long term. But

775
00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:32.519
<v Speaker 4>I kind of disagree because I mean, there's no room

776
00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:34.559
<v Speaker 4>for error now, you know what I mean? So hey

777
00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:37.119
<v Speaker 4>for I hang up and listen Nick over on Under

778
00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:39.280
<v Speaker 4>ten wins this year. Now, man, hung up and listen

779
00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:39.760
<v Speaker 4>to the show.

780
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:42.960
<v Speaker 2>But thank you appreciate it, Ben, Yeah, I'll be to

781
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:47.039
<v Speaker 2>start with his question there. I mean, as of right now,

782
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:49.159
<v Speaker 2>I think I have to say under. And I don't

783
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:51.559
<v Speaker 2>think i'm you know, I mean, I think most people

784
00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:53.480
<v Speaker 2>would probably say under if you wouldn't, like, I don't

785
00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:56.280
<v Speaker 2>think you're crazy. You did just lose to Notre Dame

786
00:34:56.320 --> 00:34:59.000
<v Speaker 2>on the road, and even though you deserve to take

787
00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:01.000
<v Speaker 2>the l and know that you know it's what it

788
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:02.840
<v Speaker 2>could have should have it, there also are factors within

789
00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:05.280
<v Speaker 2>that game that they could have you looking at other

790
00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:07.719
<v Speaker 2>games and feeling like, Okay, we're not gonna shoot ourselves

791
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:09.559
<v Speaker 2>on the foot that many times, right, and these opponents

792
00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:11.400
<v Speaker 2>that we play, it's not gonna be playing Notre Dame

793
00:35:11.400 --> 00:35:13.840
<v Speaker 2>at their place. But again, I'm going under until I

794
00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:17.760
<v Speaker 2>can see them play a cleaner, a cleaner game and

795
00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:20.719
<v Speaker 2>just look more. You know, they just don't look they

796
00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:23.199
<v Speaker 2>look disjointed too much at times in these last couple

797
00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:27.480
<v Speaker 2>of games, So I would say under But yeah, I mean,

798
00:35:28.039 --> 00:35:30.119
<v Speaker 2>as far as you know the margin for air, I

799
00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:33.679
<v Speaker 2>I've heard people kind of talking that to both sides

800
00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:36.280
<v Speaker 2>of their mouth, and I don't think that's because they're

801
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:39.639
<v Speaker 2>trying to take both sides of it. But like, yes,

802
00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:41.440
<v Speaker 2>you can still go to the ACS, or you can

803
00:35:41.480 --> 00:35:46.159
<v Speaker 2>still go to the ACC Championship potentially, and of course,

804
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:48.119
<v Speaker 2>if if you win the ACC, you're in the playoff.

805
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:50.840
<v Speaker 2>So this game on Saturday had nothing to do with that.

806
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:56.480
<v Speaker 2>That's all true, right, But if you are gonna potentially

807
00:35:56.519 --> 00:36:00.840
<v Speaker 2>be an AQ team that's sniffing the playoff or i'm sorry,

808
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:02.880
<v Speaker 2>a non AQ team that sniffing the playoff because you

809
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:05.079
<v Speaker 2>didn't win your league, you would need a win like

810
00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:07.119
<v Speaker 2>this to prop you up. I am someone of a

811
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:10.960
<v Speaker 2>belief that it would be really tough for anybody in

812
00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:15.800
<v Speaker 2>the ACC to get an at large essentially just because

813
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:17.800
<v Speaker 2>of the league. I mean, that's just the way I

814
00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:20.119
<v Speaker 2>see it. Maybe I'm wrong, but like I think Miami,

815
00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:24.400
<v Speaker 2>if they stay rolling, maybe they could find themselves. I mean,

816
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:26.760
<v Speaker 2>if they win the league they're in. Maybe Clemson if

817
00:36:26.760 --> 00:36:30.840
<v Speaker 2>they go eleven and one. I don't know. I guess

818
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:33.239
<v Speaker 2>the scenario where there's two ACC teams in as of

819
00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:38.159
<v Speaker 2>right now, maybe it changes. Could be that Clemson ends

820
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:42.079
<v Speaker 2>up beating Miami in the ACC Championship game and yet

821
00:36:42.119 --> 00:36:44.519
<v Speaker 2>Miami's only loss is that, then maybe they would still

822
00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:46.199
<v Speaker 2>get in. They probably would, but you know, we're a

823
00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:48.960
<v Speaker 2>long way away from that. But yeah, I mean, I'm

824
00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:51.000
<v Speaker 2>not gonna say that who cares this game didn't matter,

825
00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:54.320
<v Speaker 2>because it did. But what gets me is just I

826
00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:57.199
<v Speaker 2>know what a win at Notre Dame can do for programs.

827
00:36:57.239 --> 00:36:59.480
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't happen very often. Ninety percent of the teams

828
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:01.760
<v Speaker 2>roughly that go out there and play don't leave with victories.

829
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:04.000
<v Speaker 2>And I know Northern Illinois just did. So maybe the

830
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:08.639
<v Speaker 2>instant you know, the instant value wouldn't be there just

831
00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:10.360
<v Speaker 2>because you were. You would be the second team to

832
00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:12.719
<v Speaker 2>do it in a matter of what three weeks. But

833
00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:15.719
<v Speaker 2>let's be real. If Louisville can go into the offseason

834
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:18.000
<v Speaker 2>and they would have had that win, they could then

835
00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:20.599
<v Speaker 2>say they've not only beat Notre Dame two of the

836
00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:22.639
<v Speaker 2>last times they've played them, they could say that they

837
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:26.360
<v Speaker 2>are now two and one in South Bend since they've

838
00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:29.039
<v Speaker 2>been in the ACC and like, I'm not saying we'd

839
00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:30.840
<v Speaker 2>put a banner up for that, but like, let's not

840
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:32.519
<v Speaker 2>act like they doesn't have value. And to know that

841
00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:35.519
<v Speaker 2>you easily could have done it had you not screwed yourself.

842
00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:38.159
<v Speaker 2>It's just again, it's frustrating. It's frustrating. All right, let's

843
00:37:38.159 --> 00:37:39.320
<v Speaker 2>get to a quick break. We'll come back on the

844
00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:42.920
<v Speaker 2>other side. Get to more of your phone calls. Let

845
00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:46.760
<v Speaker 2>you guys continue to react. Here talk some NFL. Austin

846
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:49.599
<v Speaker 2>is a big Vikings fan, and I'm convinced he's got

847
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:52.400
<v Speaker 2>the best quarterback in the league right now, which not

848
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:54.480
<v Speaker 2>something anybody would have said a month ago.

849
00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:55.360
<v Speaker 1>But here we are.

850
00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:57.239
<v Speaker 2>I mean Sam Darnold looking good out there.

851
00:37:57.320 --> 00:37:58.880
<v Speaker 3>Donald Schwarzenegger, who.

852
00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Saw that coming. Quick break, don't go anywhere. It's coffee

853
00:38:01.880 --> 00:38:03.800
<v Speaker 2>and Company fuel about Thornton's right here on Sports Talk

854
00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:04.400
<v Speaker 2>seven ninety.

855
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Now back to coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

856
00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

857
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:17.079
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's hit the text line, shall we? Five

858
00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:19.119
<v Speaker 2>O two six five three zero seven ninety is the

859
00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:21.639
<v Speaker 2>L and N Federal Credit Union text line. This text

860
00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:24.719
<v Speaker 2>says Nick, I'm with you one of the most frustrating

861
00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:26.679
<v Speaker 2>losses I can remember as a fan. But when it

862
00:38:26.679 --> 00:38:28.679
<v Speaker 2>comes to the players and the coaches, I still feel

863
00:38:28.679 --> 00:38:32.679
<v Speaker 2>like we have a lot that can be accomplished. Go cards. Yes,

864
00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:36.800
<v Speaker 2>and even though Jeff had a bad day, I mean,

865
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:38.840
<v Speaker 2>he still, you know, did some things as a coach

866
00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:41.039
<v Speaker 2>that you know, puts you in the position to where

867
00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:42.880
<v Speaker 2>you still probably I mean you had a chance to

868
00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:45.400
<v Speaker 2>potentially overcome all those mistakes that were made by players

869
00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:48.320
<v Speaker 2>and made you know, by him, or maybe not a

870
00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:50.440
<v Speaker 2>mistake but just a bad decision, which again technically I

871
00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:53.440
<v Speaker 2>guess you could chalk it up as a mistake. But yeah,

872
00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:55.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean I I what keeps me feeling, you know,

873
00:38:56.480 --> 00:38:59.239
<v Speaker 2>I guess maybe not optimistic, but just you know, like

874
00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:02.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm not worried that Louisville's going to play teams this

875
00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:05.039
<v Speaker 2>year that you simply say, well, what are we gonna do?

876
00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:07.800
<v Speaker 2>We don't have any we don't have anything. We don't

877
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:09.360
<v Speaker 2>have we don't have the personnel to match up with

878
00:39:09.400 --> 00:39:11.199
<v Speaker 2>him in any way. Now, clearly there's gonna be games

879
00:39:11.199 --> 00:39:13.119
<v Speaker 2>where you play opponents and they're gonna have an advantage

880
00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:15.920
<v Speaker 2>at certain positions because you know you're you're not elite

881
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:19.440
<v Speaker 2>at everything. Nobody really is. But yeah, I mean this

882
00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:25.000
<v Speaker 2>is not a reaction to where you're questioning do you

883
00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:28.000
<v Speaker 2>have the ability? Like is it possible? It's more so

884
00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:30.519
<v Speaker 2>can they tighten it up and can they play clean football?

885
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:35.280
<v Speaker 2>And you know, and improve? And it's not to say

886
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:37.199
<v Speaker 2>that they've shown us from a talent perspective that they're

887
00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:38.960
<v Speaker 2>good enough to beat anybody. I mean I think they're

888
00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:42.000
<v Speaker 2>pretty good. I mean on defense, even like stan Kwon

889
00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Clark that was his breakout game and it happened to

890
00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:47.119
<v Speaker 2>be against Notre Dame, one of the top programs historically

891
00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:52.079
<v Speaker 2>in the country. I mean, ja, Corey Brooks, we've seen

892
00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:54.119
<v Speaker 2>what he can do all year. Tyler Shuck. I mean,

893
00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:56.039
<v Speaker 2>he's looked good against the bad teams, and then against

894
00:39:56.079 --> 00:39:58.639
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame his stats won't show, but he played great.

895
00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:01.199
<v Speaker 2>And then Colin, how about this guy? I mean, there's

896
00:40:01.239 --> 00:40:03.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna be a lot of creative ways that Jeff can

897
00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:05.679
<v Speaker 2>use him. So yeah, I mean, I'm it just sucks.

898
00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:08.280
<v Speaker 2>I think tomorrow I'll not over it. But just you know,

899
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:10.400
<v Speaker 2>my tone may be a little bit different when talking

900
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:13.079
<v Speaker 2>a little football because it's just it still stings right now,

901
00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:17.599
<v Speaker 2>all right, real quick, just as we sit here today

902
00:40:18.119 --> 00:40:20.480
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL Week four that has yet to conclude,

903
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:22.400
<v Speaker 2>because we've got two games tonight. You know, what I

904
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:24.800
<v Speaker 2>try to do each week is to like, okay, who's

905
00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:26.880
<v Speaker 2>who do we know is really good? Like who's And

906
00:40:26.960 --> 00:40:29.920
<v Speaker 2>last week I'm not sure you could say anybody outside

907
00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:33.480
<v Speaker 2>of the Bills in the Vikings were like really good teams,

908
00:40:33.519 --> 00:40:35.239
<v Speaker 2>because you had teams that started the first two weeks

909
00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:37.920
<v Speaker 2>looking like they were really impressive and then they come

910
00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:39.639
<v Speaker 2>out and would lose to a winless team that you

911
00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:42.159
<v Speaker 2>know stinks. But right now there are only two undefeated

912
00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:46.440
<v Speaker 2>teams and that's the Vikings and the Chiefs. I mean

913
00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:50.000
<v Speaker 2>I would, I'd still I don't know, I'm not. I

914
00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:51.599
<v Speaker 2>think the Eagles losing the way they did to the

915
00:40:51.639 --> 00:40:56.119
<v Speaker 2>Buccaneers was a bad sign for them. I mean, do

916
00:40:56.159 --> 00:40:58.079
<v Speaker 2>we put the Commanders in there? I mean, they look

917
00:40:58.199 --> 00:41:00.440
<v Speaker 2>really good these last couple of weeks with Jaden Dan Annieals.

918
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:02.239
<v Speaker 2>I was expecting that to be a really close game.

919
00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:07.079
<v Speaker 2>They dominated the Cardinals. You know, the Ravens. They're two

920
00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:11.400
<v Speaker 2>and two after starting zero to two. But I think

921
00:41:11.440 --> 00:41:14.119
<v Speaker 2>you can look at their loss in Kansas City. And understand,

922
00:41:14.159 --> 00:41:16.239
<v Speaker 2>they lost in the opener against a team that's currently

923
00:41:16.239 --> 00:41:18.400
<v Speaker 2>in the midst of a dynasty, and it was you know,

924
00:41:18.519 --> 00:41:21.480
<v Speaker 2>one play that they didn't get because the guy's foot

925
00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:23.559
<v Speaker 2>was on the line that really changed that game. And

926
00:41:23.559 --> 00:41:25.440
<v Speaker 2>then they had this head scratching loss to the Raiders.

927
00:41:25.480 --> 00:41:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Of course, but that happens to some teams. But to

928
00:41:27.880 --> 00:41:29.880
<v Speaker 2>bounce back and beat like last night, I think going

929
00:41:29.880 --> 00:41:31.920
<v Speaker 2>into that game, everybody would have told you the Bills

930
00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:34.280
<v Speaker 2>looked like the best team, and the Ravens knocked them

931
00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:35.480
<v Speaker 2>down thirty five to ten.

932
00:41:36.559 --> 00:41:37.079
<v Speaker 3>As for my.

933
00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:41.119
<v Speaker 2>Colts, we did move to UH two and two on

934
00:41:41.159 --> 00:41:43.519
<v Speaker 2>the season with a game that you know should have

935
00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:45.360
<v Speaker 2>been shouldn't have been as close as it was, but

936
00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:47.239
<v Speaker 2>you know, they held on in one. By the way

937
00:41:47.239 --> 00:41:50.800
<v Speaker 2>the Steelers were, they not like the and again, this

938
00:41:50.840 --> 00:41:52.880
<v Speaker 2>is what they do with Mike Tomlin, Like Mike Tollin,

939
00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:55.519
<v Speaker 2>will well, Mike Tomlin will compete and win ugly. It's

940
00:41:55.559 --> 00:41:57.440
<v Speaker 2>just that's his brand. But there were three and oh,

941
00:41:57.480 --> 00:41:59.639
<v Speaker 2>and I don't think anybody actually thought they were they

942
00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:00.599
<v Speaker 2>were very good.

943
00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:03.880
<v Speaker 3>No, especially with their whole quarterback situation. And at one

944
00:42:03.920 --> 00:42:07.039
<v Speaker 3>point they're gonna put Justin Fields at a kick returner

945
00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:08.880
<v Speaker 3>and now he's doing wonders.

946
00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and look he's doing I mean, look they started

947
00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:13.920
<v Speaker 2>three and oh there's there's clearly some value in doing that.

948
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:17.280
<v Speaker 2>But you know it just it never felt like it

949
00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:20.119
<v Speaker 2>was legit with them, and I don't I can't. I

950
00:42:20.159 --> 00:42:24.360
<v Speaker 2>can't say that for the for the for the Vikings.

951
00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:26.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's your team. Yeah, I mean they've had

952
00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:29.719
<v Speaker 2>they've had I feel like starts to seasons that are

953
00:42:29.719 --> 00:42:32.599
<v Speaker 2>either really really good kind of like this, or starts

954
00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:34.280
<v Speaker 2>that are like they can't win a game for like

955
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:38.000
<v Speaker 2>seven weeks or something like that. This seems like legit.

956
00:42:38.119 --> 00:42:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Like I don't think it's fluky. I mean, you're you're

957
00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:42.639
<v Speaker 2>a fan of them, I mean, are you Are you

958
00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:44.320
<v Speaker 2>believing that this could be one of their best teams

959
00:42:44.320 --> 00:42:44.920
<v Speaker 2>in a long time?

960
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:48.559
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I think so. And I can understand the the

961
00:42:48.639 --> 00:42:51.320
<v Speaker 3>consensus that it's hard to look at a team prior

962
00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:53.559
<v Speaker 3>to the season and say, a Sam Darnold led team

963
00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:54.920
<v Speaker 3>is going to be really really good.

964
00:42:55.159 --> 00:42:57.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh, you would get checked for insanity, I think, of course.

965
00:42:57.719 --> 00:43:00.920
<v Speaker 3>But I mean it's all situation matter in the NFL,

966
00:43:00.920 --> 00:43:03.079
<v Speaker 3>and he took a good pause going to San Francisco

967
00:43:03.159 --> 00:43:05.960
<v Speaker 3>last year learning that Shanahan offense. But I mean he

968
00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:10.079
<v Speaker 3>got drafted into their there's a study on these these

969
00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:13.079
<v Speaker 3>quarterbacks who get drafted to save our franchise, right, Baker

970
00:43:13.159 --> 00:43:16.760
<v Speaker 3>Mayfield save our franchise, Sam Donald save our franchise, and

971
00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:19.159
<v Speaker 3>their dumpster fires. You know, Adam Gase hasn't been in

972
00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:21.519
<v Speaker 3>the NFL in a while, their coordinator when Sam Donald

973
00:43:21.559 --> 00:43:24.239
<v Speaker 3>was there is now a tight ends coach at Arkansas,

974
00:43:24.599 --> 00:43:27.199
<v Speaker 3>and so like, I mean, put Patrick Mahomes in that situation.

975
00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:31.000
<v Speaker 3>He gets drafted to a perfect place, and especially going

976
00:43:31.039 --> 00:43:33.280
<v Speaker 3>into the season where everyone just thought that because JJ

977
00:43:33.360 --> 00:43:36.719
<v Speaker 3>McCarthy is gonna be their future quarterback. I thought he

978
00:43:36.760 --> 00:43:39.159
<v Speaker 3>looked really good in the preseason and it was always

979
00:43:39.199 --> 00:43:40.960
<v Speaker 3>going to be a Sam Donald year this year, and

980
00:43:41.199 --> 00:43:42.960
<v Speaker 3>Kevin o'connelly got to give it up to him. He's

981
00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:44.800
<v Speaker 3>got to be one of the best young coaches and

982
00:43:44.880 --> 00:43:48.000
<v Speaker 3>mix up with Brian Flores, who is just an absolute

983
00:43:48.159 --> 00:43:50.920
<v Speaker 3>mastermind on defense. I think they might have one of

984
00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:52.679
<v Speaker 3>the best defenses in the league. And don't let you

985
00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:56.039
<v Speaker 3>know them getting outscored last yesterday against the Packers. Do

986
00:43:56.079 --> 00:43:58.880
<v Speaker 3>it that the way they have their blitzes their pass rushers,

987
00:43:58.920 --> 00:44:02.480
<v Speaker 3>and getting rid of Kirk cuz A was a great

988
00:44:02.519 --> 00:44:04.559
<v Speaker 3>sign to disbelief. I never hated Kirk Cousins, but he

989
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:05.360
<v Speaker 3>took up a lot of cap.

990
00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and it felt like you guys were kind of

991
00:44:07.199 --> 00:44:09.119
<v Speaker 2>starting all over and you were, and yet here you

992
00:44:09.159 --> 00:44:11.280
<v Speaker 2>are looking like maybe the best team in the NFL.

993
00:44:11.480 --> 00:44:13.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, it's crazy to say. Some of

994
00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:15.159
<v Speaker 2>the teams that they've beaten so far, I'm not sure

995
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:16.880
<v Speaker 2>how good they are. But they did go in and

996
00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:20.119
<v Speaker 2>beat San Francisco at their place. I mean that's I mean,

997
00:44:20.159 --> 00:44:21.719
<v Speaker 2>that's I'm sorry that they had that game at home,

998
00:44:21.719 --> 00:44:23.280
<v Speaker 2>but still that's a win against a really good team.

999
00:44:23.320 --> 00:44:25.760
<v Speaker 2>They demolished the Texans, who have been pretty good this year,

1000
00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:27.760
<v Speaker 2>beat him thirty four to seven. And then they got

1001
00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:30.480
<v Speaker 2>off to a great start at Lambeau yesterday. They were

1002
00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:32.360
<v Speaker 2>able to hold on before Green Bay made a big run.

1003
00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:34.840
<v Speaker 2>But no, the look they look good and I don't

1004
00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:36.679
<v Speaker 2>know why, but I'm a sucker for guys that get

1005
00:44:36.679 --> 00:44:40.360
<v Speaker 2>another opportunity whenever they were pretty much written off. I mean,

1006
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:43.079
<v Speaker 2>Sam Darnold had been labeled a bust for many years

1007
00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:47.159
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL, and now he's thriving as honestly right now,

1008
00:44:47.199 --> 00:44:49.639
<v Speaker 2>statistically there's no better quarterback in the league. He's got

1009
00:44:49.639 --> 00:44:52.199
<v Speaker 2>the most touchdown passes. Yeah, I mean, it's just crazy.

1010
00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:54.880
<v Speaker 2>And then Baker Mayfield, same thing for him. I mean,

1011
00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:57.239
<v Speaker 2>that's a guy that all. He just became a joke

1012
00:44:57.679 --> 00:44:59.559
<v Speaker 2>because and I don't mean like he was, but when

1013
00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:01.280
<v Speaker 2>people brought him up, it was probably to joke on him,

1014
00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:02.880
<v Speaker 2>to clown him because of how things had played out

1015
00:45:02.920 --> 00:45:05.360
<v Speaker 2>for him. But sure enough, he takes advantage of the

1016
00:45:05.360 --> 00:45:08.440
<v Speaker 2>opportunity in Tampa when Brady moves on and he's having

1017
00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:09.840
<v Speaker 2>a lot of success, which, by the way, later we

1018
00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:11.840
<v Speaker 2>need to let you hear Tom Brady apparently took issue

1019
00:45:12.039 --> 00:45:16.280
<v Speaker 2>with some comments that Baker Mayfield had about the time

1020
00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:19.639
<v Speaker 2>those two were together in Tampa. And to hear Brady

1021
00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:21.800
<v Speaker 2>bring that up, was he doing the game? I heard

1022
00:45:21.800 --> 00:45:23.840
<v Speaker 2>the clip because it made its rounds online, But for

1023
00:45:23.960 --> 00:45:25.440
<v Speaker 2>him to bring that up if he was calling that

1024
00:45:25.519 --> 00:45:28.559
<v Speaker 2>game would be even better. But anyways, we got a run,

1025
00:45:28.599 --> 00:45:30.840
<v Speaker 2>We got two hours to go. Stick with us. We

1026
00:45:31.079 --> 00:45:33.559
<v Speaker 2>will take you up till six o'clock. Continue to react

1027
00:45:33.679 --> 00:45:37.320
<v Speaker 2>to react from the week, We'll continue to react to

1028
00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:41.119
<v Speaker 2>the weekend. That was I can't speak today
