Speaker 1: It's time for Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven ninety. Holy crap, I don't know who
Speaker 1: the hell we think when we are get off our show, idiot.
Speaker 2: The kids are crying or turning off.
Speaker 1: Their countries are screwing it up. Gold Play Inner Murals, Brother,
Speaker 1: gold Play Inner Murals.
Speaker 2: They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not.
Speaker 2: Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here?
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Now? Here's Nick Coffee?
Speaker 2: All right, let's get it started. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome
Speaker 2: in a Friday edition of Coffee and Company, fueled by
Speaker 2: Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety. My name's Nick Coffee,
Speaker 2: the company man, mister John all on alongside as we
Speaker 2: take you up until six o'clock on a very rainy, nasty,
Speaker 2: downright disgusting day. But it's Friday, so everything's okay. And
Speaker 2: the kids, the school kids, they had long weekends, so yes,
Speaker 2: it's a very nasty day, but that has not impacted
Speaker 2: my mood and the vibe for me, because you know,
Speaker 2: the weekend's here and we got a big football game
Speaker 2: to talk about today. We've talked a lot about it.
Speaker 2: In fact, I'm done talking about it. I mean not really.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about it, but I'm just ready for this
Speaker 2: game to start. I am ready to see where Louisville
Speaker 2: stacks up against Notre Dame. And it's not as if
Speaker 2: I'm anticipating being proven wrong, but like I think they
Speaker 2: stuck up pretty well. I think they're a better team.
Speaker 2: But I'm doing what fans do. I'm getting more and
Speaker 2: more confident just because I'm you know, I'm a fan
Speaker 2: and I'm anxious. Now. I do think there's there's clearly
Speaker 2: an area for each team that if you just go
Speaker 2: off what you know, what you've seen in the first
Speaker 2: three and four games for both sides, Louisville Notre Dame,
Speaker 2: I think it's quite clear that there is there's one
Speaker 2: thing for each that you would you would try to
Speaker 2: really exploit. And we'll certainly get to that coming up
Speaker 2: here shortly. You guys want to join us on the show,
Speaker 2: you can give us a call five OO two five
Speaker 2: seven to one seventy nine hundred. That is the number.
Speaker 2: If you want to call in, you can text in
Speaker 2: on the Ellen N Federal Credit Union text line five
Speaker 2: two six five three zero seven ninety, and it was
Speaker 2: exactly a week ago today, John, where I was sharing
Speaker 2: the story about my AutoZone fiasco.
Speaker 1: That's right. I can't believe that was already a week ago.
Speaker 2: And I just found out within the last fifteen minutes
Speaker 2: some unfortunate news that it's it's going to be at
Speaker 2: least another week until I get my car back.
Speaker 1: So they misled you a little bit yesterday.
Speaker 2: Huh, Well, yes and no, But I can't be upset
Speaker 2: with the service people because they've actually been communicating regularly,
Speaker 2: and you know, it's not their fault. But yesterday I
Speaker 2: got a voicemail towards the end of the show that
Speaker 2: the car was going to be able to be picked
Speaker 2: up sometime tomorrow because they got the part in. Well,
Speaker 2: they put the part in, like the main fuse, and
Speaker 2: then realized that there was something else that wasn't quite
Speaker 2: working the way it was supposed to. So they now
Speaker 2: know that because of you know, trying to connect a
Speaker 2: battery backwards for three straight hours. It not only did
Speaker 2: it did it blow the main fuse of my vehicle,
Speaker 2: it's also ruined my alternator, so they've got they've got
Speaker 2: to replace that too. And that's like there's you know,
Speaker 2: there's parts that go with it, and they got to
Speaker 2: order it and you know it's it's uh. Again, I'm
Speaker 2: still frustrated that they've not offered and not really shown
Speaker 2: any acknowledgment that they've put me without a vehicle for
Speaker 2: what will be two weeks. But I and again, this
Speaker 2: is how sad it is, because this is really what
Speaker 2: you're supposed to do, But I haven't been able to
Speaker 2: count on autoson to do anything other than you know,
Speaker 2: take my money, break my car, and then just ghost
Speaker 2: me until I call them over and over. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's not an exaggeration, that's quite literally what happened. But
Speaker 2: I called the you know, and this is where I
Speaker 2: got worried this morning, because when they told me, hey,
Speaker 2: you know, something just not quite right. We're still doing
Speaker 2: some testing, but you know, I'll let you know either
Speaker 2: way if you're gonna be able to come pick it
Speaker 2: up today. And I said okay, and then he said,
Speaker 2: well if you after hours, because the service department closes
Speaker 2: earlier than you know, the actual showroom and all that
Speaker 2: people who are out there selling vehicles, and uh, I
Speaker 2: just said, can you leave the key with somebody? And
Speaker 2: I can still come pick it even if you get
Speaker 2: even if you guys are closed, and he said, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's fine, he said, but you know, there will have
Speaker 2: to be somebody to pay for it. And that's when
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, well AutoZone is paying for this, and
Speaker 2: and you know, do we know if they're prepared to
Speaker 2: do that, and he said, uh no, but I'll give
Speaker 2: him a call. Well, it turns out the manager who
Speaker 2: was one of the two people putting on my back
Speaker 2: my battery backwards for three hours and really did the
Speaker 2: damage and it wasn't intentional, but I mean, come on,
Speaker 2: she showed up to pay for it and then they
Speaker 2: told her, uh, turns out alternator two. So we don't
Speaker 2: even know the final cost. So at least at least
Speaker 2: they're going to go pay for it. Like that's that's
Speaker 2: not really what they should do, top to bottom, because
Speaker 2: you know, that's the least they could do. That's really,
Speaker 2: I mean, that's I don't think I need to be like, well,
Speaker 2: thank you for paying for for the vehicle that you
Speaker 2: damaged and left me without for two weeks. But yeah,
Speaker 2: the it's a I just wanted to be over with
Speaker 2: because it's stressing me. Out. It's out of my control, clearly,
Speaker 2: but it's just, you know, it's a pain in the ass,
Speaker 2: and I'm lucky that my my employer has let me
Speaker 2: use a vehicle like that's a I mean, that's that's
Speaker 2: something that most people probably wouldn't be able to to do,
Speaker 2: is just hop in a company car. And man, my
Speaker 2: my son's going to be so bummed whenever I end
Speaker 2: up having to bring back the Volkswagen Atlas because he
Speaker 2: he just thinks that big iHeart radio sticker on the
Speaker 2: side of the jeep is the coolest thing ever he think.
Speaker 2: I mean, he thinks we're riding in style, which we are.
Speaker 2: I mean, it looks good, but he thinks that he
Speaker 2: thinks it's cool as hell. I pulled up to practice
Speaker 2: last night after after the show ended, and man, he
Speaker 2: was just looking around, like, you see that car over there,
Speaker 2: that's my dad's car. That's a rate, that's the radio car,
Speaker 2: which you know, honestly, great response by one of his
Speaker 2: one of his teammates, another four year old, He said,
Speaker 2: my car's got a radio. Two Moose was like, damn,
Speaker 2: you got me that it's got a top. Yeah, well
Speaker 2: he was, he just didn't he didn't know what I meant.
Speaker 2: In fact, some of these kids probably don't even know
Speaker 2: what radio is. They're four years old. So anyways, I
Speaker 2: know that's why you tuned in to Day on a
Speaker 2: Friday to hear me bitch and complain about me just
Speaker 2: getting bent over by AutoZone. I mean just, I mean
Speaker 2: didn't even give me a smooch before they just bent
Speaker 2: me over, damaged my vehicle, and they went told me
Speaker 2: to take it. Yeah, exactly exactly. So anyways, uh we oftentimes, well,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna throw John out of the bus here,
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna I'm just gonna say me because I
Speaker 2: I know I'm not alone here, but I can only
Speaker 2: speak for myself. I'm very quick to point out when
Speaker 2: they get it wrong when it comes to poorcasts, right,
Speaker 2: especially whenever big decisions are made and it impacts a
Speaker 2: lot of stuff. Like we we we will make decisions,
Speaker 2: events will be canceled based off of what they predict,
Speaker 2: and sometimes they're wrong it happened, But when they're right,
Speaker 2: it's kind of whatever. Well, this isn't just like, hey,
Speaker 2: we said it might rain today and it rained, Like
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure from what I from what I saw
Speaker 2: and it wasn't as if I'm scouring the web to
Speaker 2: see what each and every local meteorologist around here is
Speaker 2: saying or nationally. But all I heard was that on
Speaker 2: early early Friday morning, really late at night, it's gonna
Speaker 2: start raining and then it's not gonna stop raining until
Speaker 2: like twenty four hours later. And quite literally, that's exactly
Speaker 2: what's happened. Have you had like wind? I mean, is
Speaker 2: it was it windy out your way?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Out in Mount Washington, there was definitely quite a
Speaker 1: bit of wind to the point to where maybe it's
Speaker 1: just because where I'm located in my neighborhood, but the
Speaker 1: way that the wind would travel through it sounded like
Speaker 1: like ghosts were coming through. It's very spooky.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So our our our house is laid out weird
Speaker 2: because it was literally built on a big hill. I
Speaker 2: have a driveway that is that is like a rope
Speaker 2: like going down a roller coaster, which is a real
Speaker 2: pay of the ass, to be honest with you. But
Speaker 2: our house kind of sits what we The place in
Speaker 2: our home where we would hear the wind most in
Speaker 2: our house is where our bedroom is. And this morning
Speaker 2: it wasn't like whipping through like damn, there's a tornado.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I hear you. It was just like a
Speaker 2: consistent but not you know, eighty miles an hour and
Speaker 2: it was I thought it might be just rain hitting
Speaker 2: the window, but it was just wind coming through. So yeah,
Speaker 2: it I mean, it's did they completely call off Louder
Speaker 2: than Life today?
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's it's been delayed indefinitely, since
Speaker 1: they haven't done anything today so far as that I've seen,
Speaker 1: and I guess they're just waiting to see if anything
Speaker 1: changes in the next few hours. But like I said yesterday,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if they don't do anything today.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be tough because it's just not stopped.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I'm sure it's not the exact
Speaker 2: same everywhere within the listening audience as far as our region.
Speaker 2: There could be some people listening on stream on the
Speaker 2: I radio AB down in Florida where it's like, you know,
Speaker 2: quite literally getting gutted. I mean some of the pictures
Speaker 2: from different places in the Carolinas and in Florida and
Speaker 2: I think Louisiana. I mean, it's it's a lot worse
Speaker 2: there than it is here. I mean they're actually getting
Speaker 2: the hurricane aftermath. We're getting just the remnants of it
Speaker 2: and a lot of rain, which still sucks. But you know,
Speaker 2: they got it right. So I'm gonna say tip of
Speaker 2: the cap forgetting it right. And I think the decision
Speaker 2: to cancel school today was probably the right one, just
Speaker 2: because when conditions and you know, let me give you example,
Speaker 2: Bullet County did not did not call off school, which
Speaker 2: you know, I was happy because it meant I could,
Speaker 2: you know, have my normal routine and not have to
Speaker 2: worry about finding childcare for my daughter. So one of
Speaker 2: the schools in Bullet County, in fact, the one that
Speaker 2: it's like right by my home, like no joke, Like
Speaker 2: literally it's like right behind my house. I can see
Speaker 2: it from my back window. They don't have power. And
Speaker 2: there's another school I believe that doesn't have electricity either,
Speaker 2: So like that's why you can you potentially consider not
Speaker 2: doing it because you really just don't you know, you
Speaker 2: don't know what's gonna happen. But it never fails. And
Speaker 2: I know I've talked about this before. I don't mean
Speaker 2: to be repetitive, but I really want to know what
Speaker 2: drives someone that is not impacted at all by kids
Speaker 2: getting a day off school. It doesn't impact them because
Speaker 2: they don't have kids. It doesn't impact them because they
Speaker 2: don't work for the school system. It doesn't impact them
Speaker 2: because you know, like in fact, you probably had less
Speaker 2: traffic today on your commute because there's not buses out there.
Speaker 2: And yet those are the people that feel the need
Speaker 2: to go to social media rather it be Twitter, Facebook,
Speaker 2: I don't know, can you I mean, can you post
Speaker 2: a status on Instagram? It's just content picture video. But
Speaker 2: those are the people that I just often see upset
Speaker 2: about it. And look, it's one thing to have that feeling,
Speaker 2: like if you want to have the feeling, and you
Speaker 2: can do whatever the hell you want. I just can't
Speaker 2: understand why you are so up because here's the thing
Speaker 2: when somebody like, we all have a lot of thoughts
Speaker 2: and opinions, but we don't post all of them. I mean,
Speaker 2: some people do. I got an aunt, that's just she's
Speaker 2: something else on Facebook. I love her, but I think
Speaker 2: she's just of the opinion that anything that enters her
Speaker 2: brain got to put a status up. So we all
Speaker 2: have thought and opinions that we really, you know, keep
Speaker 2: to ourselves. Maybe because we don't want to get canceled,
Speaker 2: or maybe we know it's controversial, or maybe it's just
Speaker 2: not relevant. But when you are someone, I think most people,
Speaker 2: if they're inclined to get out that phone and fire
Speaker 2: up a status on the Facebook for everybody to see,
Speaker 2: it's something they want everybody to know that they have
Speaker 2: the opinion about, right, because you're sharing it not only
Speaker 2: in conversation to somebody, not just you know, to yourself,
Speaker 2: but like to anybody. That is your platform to let
Speaker 2: everybody know how you feel. And there's so many people
Speaker 2: that I know that were really upset that kids did
Speaker 2: not have to go to school today. And maybe it's
Speaker 2: jealousy because to be fair, we would not have got
Speaker 2: off for school when I was growing up anywhere for
Speaker 2: what happened today. I mean, and that's not because we
Speaker 2: were tougher and we were more badass. I mean, I
Speaker 2: don't know, maybe we are, but like things are just different.
Speaker 2: So like it sucks if in fact, you find out
Speaker 2: last minute that your kid is not going to have
Speaker 2: school and you don't have anything you got to you
Speaker 2: got to burn a vacation day, Like that's truly inconveniencing
Speaker 2: somebody or you know that your child, like any day
Speaker 2: off school is a worry for you because the best
Speaker 2: thing for them is to be in school around other people.
Speaker 2: Like those people, I get it, but these are people
Speaker 2: I know personally, and I reached out to a couple
Speaker 2: of them, like, why are you so bothered about Like
Speaker 2: I got a buddy who doesn't even live here. He
Speaker 2: lives he lives in another state, but of course, you know,
Speaker 2: he's connected to all of us, and he's you know,
Speaker 2: his family still lives here, and he was hot about
Speaker 2: kids not having to go to school today, And I'm
Speaker 2: just like, why do you care? Is it jealousy, John,
Speaker 2: because because we didn't get those days when we were
Speaker 2: kids or something like.
Speaker 1: I don't know that makes sense because I don't I
Speaker 1: can't imagine getting angry about something like that. And that's
Speaker 1: not me saying I'm better than them. It's just it's
Speaker 1: just not my personality to get mad about something like I.
Speaker 2: Can't relate that. That's what I don't get is I
Speaker 2: can't I can't relate. And uh, if there is a
Speaker 2: specific reason, like I would love for somebody, I'm not
Speaker 2: kidding you, I would love for somebody to ship if
Speaker 2: you are somebody that has no impact. It's not impacted
Speaker 2: you in any way that a kid didn't go to
Speaker 2: school today, their kids didn't go to school to in
Speaker 2: Jensent County, and yet it's still it was something that
Speaker 2: was weighing on you when you woke up and you
Speaker 2: had to let everybody know that the generation's gone soft.
Speaker 2: Like somebody tell me, like what would be? Like why
Speaker 2: why does that bother you? And there's things that bother
Speaker 2: me that I've for years never been able to figure
Speaker 2: out wh what bothers me? So maybe it's just one
Speaker 2: of those things where just you don't know why, but
Speaker 2: it just it irritates you. But i it never fails.
Speaker 2: Usually it's snow days or you know, severe whether that's
Speaker 2: not this, but you know, tornado like stuff. But today
Speaker 2: it was just rain and wind and they played it safe.
Speaker 2: And look, I'm probably talking into my rear end here,
Speaker 2: but it cannot be a total coincidence that Jefferson County
Speaker 2: Public School Superintendent Marty Polio announced his retirement today, effective
Speaker 2: July first, twenty twenty five. Like I'm sure they had
Speaker 2: all kinds of parents complaining and just you know, talking
Speaker 2: reckless to them about their decision to not send them
Speaker 2: to school today because they just think it's it's a
Speaker 2: waste of a day, and they could have gone to
Speaker 2: school and it would have been fine. Rain won't hurt him,
Speaker 2: a little wind won't bother them, And maybe he just realized, like,
Speaker 2: all right, I'm done. Like again, I don't know, I
Speaker 2: have no clue. This news broke within the last I
Speaker 2: don't know, thirty minutes or so, So I don't I
Speaker 2: don't have a clue if this was like a planned
Speaker 2: decision date for him, and it's just a coincidence that
Speaker 2: it happens to be a day where he let kids
Speaker 2: out of school and everybody's mad about it. But I
Speaker 2: don't know. Man, Sometimes there are things that are truly coincidental,
Speaker 2: but John that doesn't seem coincidental, does it. No?
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I mean, today is a Friday.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's known for a while Friday news dump. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe he know, he's known for a while that it
Speaker 1: was going to be this date and it just so
Speaker 1: happened to land on, you know, one of the worst
Speaker 1: weather days so far of the new school calendar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, you know, I don't know him personally, but
Speaker 2: I know some people who do. They speak really really
Speaker 2: highly of him just as a man. And you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about how difficult. I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: sure that job is difficult. That that's the job I
Speaker 2: think a lot of people would not want. But I
Speaker 2: do worry, you know, like I think if they could
Speaker 2: get somebody else, I mean, j CPS just doesn't appear.
Speaker 2: And I won't speak like I know for sure because
Speaker 2: I don't I don't have kids that are in that system.
Speaker 2: But it doesn't seem as if j CPS is in
Speaker 2: a really great place right now. And you know, be
Speaker 2: careful what you wish for. You know, this is a
Speaker 2: guy who really does care a lot about Louisville because
Speaker 2: he is from Louisville. I mean, he's our Jeff Brahm
Speaker 2: of the school of the school system, because he went
Speaker 2: to Dass High School and this is his hometown. And look,
Speaker 2: maybe you go out and do a national search, you
Speaker 2: get somebody who's been effective elsewhere, and they come in
Speaker 2: and they get this thing back on track, and that's great,
Speaker 2: that's all anybody wants. But I just I remember, you know,
Speaker 2: a lot of the heat that he would take and
Speaker 2: the school system would take for just some of the
Speaker 2: clear issues that we were on them. You know, at
Speaker 2: times I wanted to be like, do you all think
Speaker 2: that this guy wants people to not go to school
Speaker 2: because the bus Like do you think? I mean, like,
Speaker 2: I'm not really sure what they can do, and you know,
Speaker 2: not to go down a path that nobody wants to
Speaker 2: go down today, or don't know, maybe you do. It's Friday,
Speaker 2: let's get weird. Like a lot of the issues that
Speaker 2: JCPS has, they can't find bus drivers. You know, kids
Speaker 2: are you know, going crazy at certain schools and just
Speaker 2: completely you know, you can't they can't be in school
Speaker 2: because they're so bad, and just you know, a lot
Speaker 2: of that has to do with parents, not Marty polio,
Speaker 2: and you know, I'm sure that's everywhere, but there's got
Speaker 2: to be some accountability at home with with with kids,
Speaker 2: and I don't know if that's ever you know. So
Speaker 2: I've always defended him and felt bad for him because
Speaker 2: clearly there's been some issues that made national news that
Speaker 2: were not a good look and he's the superintendent, so
Speaker 2: therefore it does fall on him. But just some of
Speaker 2: the heat that he would get, I would think often
Speaker 2: to myself like I'm really sure what he could have
Speaker 2: done here, Like, do you think that they know much
Speaker 2: money they've offered these bus drivers and yet like they
Speaker 2: do it and they're like, uh, hell no, those kids
Speaker 2: are crazy as hell. I'm not getting on that bus again.
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I just that's a big deal.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of people who are in
Speaker 2: this community that listen to this show that that do
Speaker 2: have kids that are in JCPS or they teach JACPS.
Speaker 2: So certainly big news. But again it's not effective immediately.
Speaker 2: It's this summer in July whenever he will who move on?
Speaker 2: All right, So before we get to our first break,
Speaker 2: this tropical situation we've got here tropical storm, I should say,
Speaker 2: because tropical makes you feel like, makes you think of
Speaker 2: the beach and stuff. This is not that it's already
Speaker 2: impacting Louisville. Actually I just saw this Louisville. They of
Speaker 2: course usually fly up to South Bend, and now because
Speaker 2: of the weather and whatnot, the conditions, they're going old school.
Speaker 2: They're taking a bus up to South Bend. I think
Speaker 2: they just left about an hour or two ago, so
Speaker 2: I know there's some Louisville fans driving up tonight. Maybe
Speaker 2: you're already there, maybe you're driving there as we speak.
Speaker 2: If so, thanks for listening. Hopefully we can make your
Speaker 2: drive even better. And if you do lose this at
Speaker 2: some point, which is gonna be whole, because we've got
Speaker 2: some pretty strong signal here on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2: In fact, it's the strongest signal of any sports station
Speaker 2: here in Kentucky. But you can always find us on
Speaker 2: the outre you find us. Well, if you're you probably
Speaker 2: want to pull up the website. And I mean, if
Speaker 2: you're going to be streaming while driving, you probably just
Speaker 2: need to use the app. I was gonna mention seven
Speaker 2: ninety leuivel dot com, which is an option, but probably
Speaker 2: not an option for you if you're you're in your vehicle,
Speaker 2: all right. So the Saint X and Trinity football game,
Speaker 2: which you know, I I'm Catholic myself. I went to
Speaker 2: to Catholic school for a minute when I was very
Speaker 2: very young, and then you know, straight public school, Bullet
Speaker 2: County education. But even if you don't have any roots
Speaker 2: to the Catholic community and you're not Catholic, you know
Speaker 2: that Satan X and Trinity is a big deal. So
Speaker 2: they have postponed their game and it's going to be
Speaker 2: played tomorrow at five point thirty at Saint X High School,
Speaker 2: which I mean, look, you got to get the game in.
Speaker 2: There's already a lot of games that have been canceled
Speaker 2: that won't be made up, which is unfortunate, man, especially
Speaker 2: like there's a college football game that's already been canceled.
Speaker 2: It is Liberty and app State. So Liberty has decided
Speaker 2: to actually Liberty wants to play. However app State has
Speaker 2: just said no, and they've tried to move it to
Speaker 2: a different like a different site, and app States just like, now,
Speaker 2: we don't want to play. They really stink by the
Speaker 2: way this year. Maybe that's why they don't want to play,
Speaker 2: but they keep keep this in mind. Liberty is a
Speaker 2: team that, like if they lose a game and they
Speaker 2: can't find another opponent and they just play eleven games,
Speaker 2: that absolutely hurts them when it comes to the playoff.
Speaker 2: They're a G five team that is not in the
Speaker 2: driver's seat to take that spot, but they're certainly in
Speaker 2: the mix. They've been good for a while now. Jamie
Speaker 2: Chadwell's a hell of a coach, So like that sucks.
Speaker 2: That's that's that's mother nature, you know, changing potentially history
Speaker 2: for a little for a for a football program. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's we don't know if we're there. Yeah, but like
Speaker 2: think about that, Like if the game was canceled, they
Speaker 2: couldn't get another opponent, they go eleven and zero. But
Speaker 2: like you know, they don't have that at They don't
Speaker 2: have that data point that a lot of others have
Speaker 2: as far as just how you're measuring a team. But anyways,
Speaker 2: I find it. You know, back to what I was
Speaker 2: saying about Saint X Trinity. You you want to get
Speaker 2: the game in whenever you can, because not only do
Speaker 2: you not want to lose a game, this is a
Speaker 2: big game. This is a big rivalry, right, but the
Speaker 2: fact that Louisville and Notre Dame are going to be
Speaker 2: playing at the same time that Sat X and Trinity
Speaker 2: are playing just seems weird to me. I mean, the
Speaker 2: cathlic community here is huge, and even if you are
Speaker 2: somebody that is a you know, you're a Kentucky fan,
Speaker 2: but you are very well plugged into the Catholic community.
Speaker 2: You probably you know, maybe you know the broms like
Speaker 2: I dobt, you pull for Louisville a lot if you're
Speaker 2: a Kentucky fan. But like Jeff doesn't just have Louisville
Speaker 2: fans on his side rooting for him because he's one
Speaker 2: of our own. And of course the Louislle fans want
Speaker 2: their team to do well, but like the Catholic community,
Speaker 2: they got to support chef from right. So again, you
Speaker 2: get your game in whenever you can. But I'm sure
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people that'll be going to that
Speaker 2: high school game that will be you know, they'll they'll
Speaker 2: be watching both I mean, and they don't start at
Speaker 2: the exact same time, but I'd say, I mean, heck,
Speaker 2: the Louisll football game has been lasting what four hours
Speaker 2: seemingly this year, John, They've not gone by pretty quick.
Speaker 2: It doesn't.
Speaker 1: The first one went by fast, but the other two
Speaker 1: that they've had so far a little longer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, they'll I imagine this one will
Speaker 2: be starting when you get close to halftime of the
Speaker 2: Louisville game. So anyways, real quick, before we get to
Speaker 2: a time out, let me set the table for you guys.
Speaker 2: Do people know what I mean when I say that
Speaker 2: you think I think they do? Like I'm getting the
Speaker 2: table spread. I'm getting out the side dishes. I don't
Speaker 2: really know what the Yeah, I don't know what the
Speaker 2: what the entree would be today, but maybe we're just
Speaker 2: gonna do a lot of sides today on a Friday.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: We got the mashed potatoes, we got we got we
Speaker 2: got the hash brown cast role, we got uh, we
Speaker 2: got broccoli castro. I'm a big cast role guys. So
Speaker 2: when I say set the table, I mean like I'm
Speaker 2: gonna lay it out for you guys before we dive in.
Speaker 2: I think it makes sense. But then again, I've said
Speaker 2: it many times and thought that might sound release too,
Speaker 2: But people might know what people might not know what
Speaker 2: the hell I'm talking about. So we do have an
Speaker 2: update to the Matthew Slucas story that kind of makes
Speaker 2: me think that he wasn't very well liked by UNLV.
Speaker 2: And that doesn't mean that they're not in the wrong.
Speaker 2: I mean, even if the guy was a jerk, if
Speaker 2: they told him one hundred grand and it's nothing close
Speaker 2: to that, like they still are the ones that fault here.
Speaker 2: Or maybe it could be that they're just trying to
Speaker 2: say face by making him look bad to where they
Speaker 2: don't take as much heat because I still at this
Speaker 2: point don't think that anybody I I don't understand how
Speaker 2: anybody they thinks this guy's like in the wrong here,
Speaker 2: But again, everybody's entitled to their own opinion. Also, this
Speaker 2: is something that there's not really a whole lot of info,
Speaker 2: but it is a big piece of news. The SEC
Speaker 2: and the Big Ten athletic directors are scheduled to meet
Speaker 2: in Nashville here soon, and it's one of the few gatherings,
Speaker 2: according to Ross Dellinger of Yahoo Sports, where these two
Speaker 2: conferences specifically are going to get together and probably just
Speaker 2: talk about themselves and maybe kind of you know what
Speaker 2: I'm getting at is, could this be the first of
Speaker 2: many conversations where those two leagues decide if they want
Speaker 2: to do their own thing. I mean, clearly I'm getting
Speaker 2: ahead of myself here, but we can't say we'd be
Speaker 2: shocked if that is part of their meetings. I mean,
Speaker 2: apparently they're going to talk about a non NCAA enforcement arm,
Speaker 2: a college football playoff format, football scheduling arrangement between the
Speaker 2: two leagues. So like that could mean all three of
Speaker 2: those things are things you could talk about that have
Speaker 2: nothing to do with excluding yourself from everybody else in
Speaker 2: college football that is under the NA umbrella, but it
Speaker 2: also could be you know, non NCAA enforcement arm. Okay,
Speaker 2: we're gonna be together, but we also still need somebody
Speaker 2: to oversee to make sure people are following rules and
Speaker 2: there's not rampant cheating going on. So could be them
Speaker 2: finding their own way of doing that with those two
Speaker 2: leagues they're college football playoff format. Maybe it's a format
Speaker 2: that's their own that doesn't include anybody else other than
Speaker 2: those two leagues. And then a scheduling arrangement that's essentially
Speaker 2: how you're going to schedule each other, Like how many
Speaker 2: games would you play against each other outside of you
Speaker 2: You play maybe eight games non games in league play,
Speaker 2: and then your other three games are against SEC or
Speaker 2: Big ten teams. So again I have no clue that.
Speaker 2: I mean, the way I laid it out was just
Speaker 2: you know, all speculation. But let's not be shocked if
Speaker 2: like that ever ends up happening, because those two leagues
Speaker 2: are just on a different planet, and I don't really
Speaker 2: think there's anything anybody can do to change that. There's
Speaker 2: no real lineman that can be made that would make
Speaker 2: the other leagues have the same value that the big
Speaker 2: tit in the in the in the sec have. So
Speaker 2: again we're loaded today. Let's ahead and get our bak
Speaker 2: because I'll keep rambling and then we'll have the clock
Speaker 2: that's way off and we don't want that. Today. It's
Speaker 2: a Friday. We're feeling good. At least I am. Hopefully
Speaker 2: you guys are feeling well today. If you're somebody who
Speaker 2: your mood is very much impacted on the weather, you know,
Speaker 2: not good, I'm sure, but maybe we can help today.
Speaker 2: We're gonna try. It's Coffee and Company. We are fueled
Speaker 2: by Thornton's right here on Sports Talk seven ninety. That's right,
Speaker 2: a Friday edition of Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's
Speaker 2: here on Sports Talk seven ninety Nit coffee. That's me
Speaker 2: the company man. That's mister John Olton. He's alongside. Don't
Speaker 2: forget tomorrow. We've got you covered for game Day. The
Speaker 2: Louisville Football pregame Show, hosted by myself. We'll start at
Speaker 2: two thirty. It is presented by Pellow Windows and Doors
Speaker 2: of Central Kentucky and Jefferson Animal Hospital. So two thirty
Speaker 2: to three thirty and then of course, the game will
Speaker 2: start kickoff at three thirty, and then as soon as
Speaker 2: it ends, we'll come back here. I mean, I'm not
Speaker 2: going anywhere. I'll be here the whole time, but you
Speaker 2: will hopefully flock back here to Sports Talk seven ninety
Speaker 2: for the Louisville football postgame show presented by Alex R. White,
Speaker 2: Lawyer's suit distracted driver dot Com. I don't really feel
Speaker 2: the need to do this, but why the hell not
Speaker 2: get peacock. Figure out how you can get the cock,
Speaker 2: because you're gonna need the cock if you want to
Speaker 2: watch the game tomorrow, some funny John. I mean people
Speaker 2: need it.
Speaker 1: They do need the cock. I mean, male or female.
Speaker 1: You need the cock tomorrow for Louisville, Notre Dame.
Speaker 2: Grow up, dude, Come on now. I know you were
Speaker 2: lotter than life last night partying your ass off, but
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: Hey, n I can Moody a five finger death punch
Speaker 1: he had on the UFL football jersey for part of
Speaker 1: the show last night.
Speaker 2: I just saw a picture that I saw the picture
Speaker 2: you'd sent me, and then I saw a picture that
Speaker 2: U of L got from Like I guess one of
Speaker 2: the photographers that was, you know, taking pictures of the event,
Speaker 2: like for the event and it he looked great and
Speaker 2: Cardinal red. I mean, I think that's gotta be a
Speaker 2: good omen, right, absolutely, so again three Peacock find a
Speaker 2: way to I mean, it never fails. There'll be so
Speaker 2: many people that will just know the games on and
Speaker 2: start looking for channels. And it's people who like you
Speaker 2: know that, And it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with this,
Speaker 2: It's just they're they're not as plugged in other than
Speaker 2: when the game games on, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: There's so many fans like that. They don't consume anything
Speaker 2: other than, hey, I know my team plays at six,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch. They're not radio listeners, they're not big
Speaker 2: on social media with stuff. They're not reading message boards,
Speaker 2: and you know, maybe those are the people that don't
Speaker 2: realize this is not I mean, this is this isn't
Speaker 2: hey it's on watch ESPN because of the ACC network
Speaker 2: extra or something like that. This is a streaming service
Speaker 2: that you have to have a subscription for if you
Speaker 2: want to watch the game. And I did see that
Speaker 2: one of the I think it might have been Ross
Speaker 2: Dellinger of Yahoo said that notreed Aim tried to encourage
Speaker 2: NBC to pull it from Peacock and put it on NBC,
Speaker 2: and they chose not to. And I saw some some
Speaker 2: folks kind of indicating was this is this a sign
Speaker 2: that maybe this game is snoozer? Is this a sign
Speaker 2: that maybe, you know, Notre Dame's really falling off. No,
Speaker 2: in fact, it's the opposite. It means they believe this
Speaker 2: is the Notre Dame game that they will get people
Speaker 2: to sign up for Peacock. I mean, usually if Notre
Speaker 2: Dame's playing on Peacock exclusively, it's probably not against the
Speaker 2: top fifteen team. And I'm not trying to say it's
Speaker 2: the Louisville factor, but if you're going to try to
Speaker 2: prop up Peacock, which they are, I mean, everybody's got
Speaker 2: to have a digital space within their network, and NBC's
Speaker 2: is Peacock. And obviously you know Hulu's got live TV,
Speaker 2: Amazon has NFL Football on last night, so you know,
Speaker 2: there's all kinds of different ones, and each and every
Speaker 2: one of them are are getting involved in the live
Speaker 2: sporting events. So this is just I mean, this is
Speaker 2: what they're gonna do. They'll probably be a there's not
Speaker 2: one on the schedule this year, just because the schedule
Speaker 2: this year for Notre Dame is not loaded, but there'll
Speaker 2: be some big, big time games NFL college that you'll
Speaker 2: see only exclusively on one of those networks, and because
Speaker 2: they like that's how they are truly going to get
Speaker 2: you to sign up. I mean, last year was it,
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was Amazon. I think it
Speaker 2: might have been an Amazon. There was a football there
Speaker 2: was an NFL playoff game on one of those streaming networks,
Speaker 2: and they did say after that that it it produced
Speaker 2: more sign ups than ever. Because again, that's why you
Speaker 2: invest an insane amount of money and getting the exclusive
Speaker 2: rights to broadcast these games, because people will sign up
Speaker 2: and you'll make money with that, and sponsors are going
Speaker 2: to pay out the rear end because you know, NFL
Speaker 2: is king. So I'm not saying that it's going to
Speaker 2: be the same impact here with Notre Dame, but clearly
Speaker 2: they've got a national fan base. They're just different than
Speaker 2: anybody else. So again, find a way to get the
Speaker 2: cock if you haven't yet. I mean, there's a lot
Speaker 2: of options out there when it comes to finding the cock.
Speaker 2: So you know, maybe call your buddy, say hey, I've
Speaker 2: always liked you kind of weird, but like, can I
Speaker 2: borrow your peacock? And you know he'll probably say, well, yeah, man,
Speaker 2: don't make it weird. Come on, I got the cock.
Speaker 2: We'll watch watch the cards, Cock and the Cards. I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're laughing, John, when you get
Speaker 2: your head out of the gutter, Son, I mean, the
Speaker 2: first time I've ever felt is if you're just being
Speaker 2: so immature.
Speaker 1: I'm just curious how many times you can say it
Speaker 1: before somebody takes it the wrong way.
Speaker 2: Well, it's because I care about the fans. Of course,
Speaker 2: I don't want them. I don't want them stranded not
Speaker 2: knowing where to find the cock tomorrow if.
Speaker 1: You don't want to be getting MS asking why where's
Speaker 1: the game?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is that happened, by the way, to you, it has.
Speaker 2: So years ago, like during Louisville basketball games, like a
Speaker 2: lot of their November games were on there and and
Speaker 2: I would just unload on somebody on Twitter who would
Speaker 2: ask where's the game? You know, And it's not because like,
Speaker 2: well I've been talking about it on the show, trying
Speaker 2: to warn you, because you know, it wasn't about that.
Speaker 2: It's not like well, hey, I tried to tell you it.
Speaker 2: I'm the authority, so I'm going to tell you where
Speaker 2: the game is. But like, I just don't understand how
Speaker 2: people can get to that point, meaning where they couldn't
Speaker 2: find it and they didn't look it up on Google,
Speaker 2: they didn't ask somebody next to them, they didn't ask
Speaker 2: somebody they know, They just randomly DM to stranger like
Speaker 2: that just me like, I feel like, if that's if
Speaker 2: it's that, if it's to that point, you literally can't
Speaker 2: You've searched high and low and you can't find the game.
Speaker 2: So after a while, people just started to mess with me.
Speaker 2: In fact, Jeff Greer was the one who had it,
Speaker 2: who really just asked for it. This was years ago
Speaker 2: when Jeff was on the UFL beat because he just
Speaker 2: one time unloaded on Twitter like hey guys, please, I
Speaker 2: don't want to be the one person that gets asked
Speaker 2: where the game is and that what did that do?
Speaker 2: That meant everybody every game, even if they knew they
Speaker 2: were gonna they were gonna ask Jeff where the game was.
Speaker 2: So that's happened to me every now and then. But
Speaker 2: at this point, like things have changed so much in
Speaker 2: the last ten years with how we watched TV. I mean, heck,
Speaker 2: Netflix and whatnot existed ten years ago. But like, think
Speaker 2: about just how how different things are. I mean, again,
Speaker 2: the thought of a game that is a big college
Speaker 2: football game or an NFL game in general only being
Speaker 2: available on stream like that was unheard of years ago.
Speaker 2: But again, things things have changed, all right. So, John,
Speaker 2: you went to Lottter than Life last night? Did you.
Speaker 2: It seemed like you were having a great time.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And this was the first time I had gone,
Speaker 1: and it was only for a few hours, of course,
Speaker 1: but the first time I'd ever gone by myself for
Speaker 1: a time and had I enjoyed myself. I had a
Speaker 1: much better time than I anticipated having by myself.
Speaker 2: So I kind of feel bad, but I'll just explain myself.
Speaker 2: You know, John and I are our friends and we
Speaker 2: worked together, but ninety nine percent of our communication is
Speaker 2: through work. Occasionally we'll text each other, you know, like
Speaker 2: if Signette's got it roll and I'll send him a
Speaker 2: text or something like that. Like, we communicate, but the
Speaker 2: majority of our relationship is because we worked together. So
Speaker 2: like last night, he sent me text messages about the
Speaker 2: concert and mentioned that one of the lead singers for
Speaker 2: one of the bands was wearing U of L Gear
Speaker 2: five finger Death Punch Guy right, yes, and like I'm
Speaker 2: just I'm at dinner with my wife and I'm just smiling.
Speaker 2: She's like, what's going on? Like, I'm just happy John
Speaker 2: was able to go to go to lotder than life,
Speaker 2: Like this is this is his lane, this is his stuff.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's getting to have a good So it
Speaker 2: hit me that, like I just assumed because we don't
Speaker 2: communicate all that often outside of work, which I'm not
Speaker 2: saying we have to. You probably look, you have to
Speaker 2: listen to me every day for three hours NonStop, so
Speaker 2: like I'm not asking you to text me every day
Speaker 2: and you know, shoot that you know what. But like,
Speaker 2: for some reason, I just had the impression that, like
Speaker 2: I guess I just never thought you probably do a
Speaker 2: lot of fun stuff. You just don't talk about it.
Speaker 2: You probably are going to concerts all the time, you're
Speaker 2: you know, so I don't know why. Just for some reason,
Speaker 2: it felt like you got to do something last night
Speaker 2: that you never get to do and you never have
Speaker 2: any fun. So I was happy for you. My wife
Speaker 2: was like, my wife was like I'm sure he like
Speaker 2: was it like this is that big of a deal,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, yeah, I mean, he's gonna go Saturday.
Speaker 2: So she was, I mean, she was kind of downplaying,
Speaker 2: like it's not that big of a deal, and I
Speaker 2: was just happy for John to be able to go.
Speaker 2: And there's also something that I don't know if you
Speaker 2: agree that, but I think the way the way your
Speaker 2: situation played out, you didn't really know if you were
Speaker 2: gonna get passes right.
Speaker 1: I knew I was going Saturday, but thanks to our
Speaker 1: friend Austin, I didn't know initially that I was gonna
Speaker 1: be able to go any day that I wanted to.
Speaker 2: So there was some spontaneousness to where you were able
Speaker 2: to get there to see Five Finger Death Punch last night,
Speaker 2: and you went solo, and you didn't really know how
Speaker 2: much fun you'd have, but you had a ball. So
Speaker 2: my wife's not gonna take away the joy that I
Speaker 2: have for you and the good time you had.
Speaker 1: I like, and I like noticing little tibbits, like when
Speaker 1: I noticed that I've in Moody put on the U
Speaker 1: of l Jersey, I'm like, oh, I've got to take
Speaker 1: a picture of this and send the Nick because he'll
Speaker 1: think that's awesome.
Speaker 2: I gotta know what was the crowd like, I'm so jealous.
Speaker 2: You got to see the greatness that is the folks
Speaker 2: of Louder than Life. Oh it was.
Speaker 1: It was definitely a lower amount of people than what's
Speaker 1: been there in pastures, and plus it was a Thursday
Speaker 1: of the weather wasn't ideal. But one thing I particularly
Speaker 1: enjoyed compared to pastors is really just being able to
Speaker 1: walk up and kind of be wherever I want and
Speaker 1: not be shoulder to shoulder with somebody and still be
Speaker 1: really close to whoever's up on stage at the time.
Speaker 1: So that was that was something I enjoyed last night.
Speaker 2: I'm claustrophobic, so that is an issue with me for
Speaker 2: that reason specifically. But even if you're not claustrophobic, you
Speaker 2: got to I mean, I I can't, I can't. I
Speaker 2: mean again, do what you do have fun. Clearly, there
Speaker 2: are thousands on thousands of people that will go to
Speaker 2: a concert and not be able to move right. They'll
Speaker 2: be they'll be you know, I was gonna say something
Speaker 2: I probably shouldn't saund the radio, but they'll be packed in,
Speaker 2: like you know, like you wouldn't believe, and they just
Speaker 2: and that's just how it is it places like that,
Speaker 2: but like I I mean, that would be miserable.
Speaker 1: One thing that was cool last time there was a
Speaker 1: dude during the first couple of songs of Five Finger
Speaker 1: Death Punch who also I believe was by himself a
Speaker 1: little bit like close to me but not directly next
Speaker 1: to me, and he was super into it. And a
Speaker 1: few songs in the dude just turns to me, gives
Speaker 1: me a nice fist bump, and he's super into it.
Speaker 1: And that was whenever I started, oh, hell yeah, really
Speaker 1: having a good time. I'm like, you know, it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter if I'm here by myself.
Speaker 2: You know what he did? What did He passed the
Speaker 2: vibe belong to you?
Speaker 1: He did, he passed it along and it wrote me
Speaker 1: the rest of the evening.
Speaker 2: That's the kind of crowd that you see it louder
Speaker 2: than life. Man, don't don't just to see the cosplay
Speaker 2: outfits or you know, lack of any clothing at all
Speaker 2: of it than something covering the nipples.
Speaker 1: And there was some of that last night.
Speaker 2: I'll guarantee there was like but they're they're really nice
Speaker 2: and welcoming, and this guy he's into it and he's like, look,
Speaker 2: I want my man here, this stranger named John. I
Speaker 2: want him to be feeling the way I'm feeling. So
Speaker 2: let me let me wap him up, and let's get
Speaker 2: this let's get this party started. So I don't know
Speaker 2: what they're gonna do today. I mean I did see
Speaker 2: they posted an update.
Speaker 1: They're planning for now to start around six or seven pm,
Speaker 1: and they've gotten an extended curfew for tonight. Ok, they
Speaker 1: are indeed able to move on with the show this evening.
Speaker 2: That's good. And it sounds like tomorrow, you know, it'll
Speaker 2: still be muddy, But like they, I don't think it's
Speaker 2: supposed tomorrow.
Speaker 1: It's more of just rain minus the wind, I think.
Speaker 1: And then once you get later into the afternoon, I
Speaker 1: think the rain's supposed to die down. From your the
Speaker 1: meteorologist company man John Alden.
Speaker 2: I like it. I like it. So this is not
Speaker 2: an update from the local area, but it sounds like
Speaker 2: right now the Carolinas are are really in a scary,
Speaker 2: scary situation. I mean, I'm reading here on the fly
Speaker 2: that what's imminent damn failure in North Carolina. That sounds really,
Speaker 2: really bad. And then some of the boo in North
Speaker 2: Carolina which is where app State is. Uh, maybe that's
Speaker 2: why this video surface because obviously app State was supposed
Speaker 2: to host Liberty and now that game's been canceled. But like,
Speaker 2: people are all driving and I'm like, one, you didn't
Speaker 2: realize how bad the rain was gonna be, or you're
Speaker 2: just a madman, like I mean, getting out and getting
Speaker 2: stuck in that is scary as hell because honestly, it
Speaker 2: can kill you. It can. It can you know, wipe
Speaker 2: you away, and you never know what would happen after that.
Speaker 2: So stay. I mean, I don't think we're we're I
Speaker 2: don't think we are in anywhere close to as much
Speaker 2: danger as they are in North Carolina from what I
Speaker 2: can see here. But still, even even if it's stop
Speaker 2: raining right now, there's probably some roads that are that
Speaker 2: are flooded, and sure enough, somebody will probably drive into
Speaker 2: it and regret it. I know somebody's done that before,
Speaker 2: and they, in fact, I know two people have done
Speaker 2: it before and they claim that, like you, it wasn't
Speaker 2: for lack of paying attention. It's just you's water. But
Speaker 2: you don't realize like how high it is somehow, I
Speaker 2: don't know. I scary stuff, all right, quick Break will
Speaker 2: come back on the other side and wrap up the
Speaker 2: three o'clock hour. This thing's going by fast on a Friday.
Speaker 2: We've not even really talked a whole lot about the
Speaker 2: matchup tomorrow, and I know we've done that enough. But again,
Speaker 2: I talked about this earlier and I'll dive right in
Speaker 2: when we get the four o'clock hour started. It's quite
Speaker 2: clear if your Notre Dame, there's something you can see
Speaker 2: within Louisville that you hope to really exploit tomorrow. Same
Speaker 2: thing for Louisville. There's something about Notre Dame that you know.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say it's a big glaring weakness, but there's
Speaker 2: something you know that they've yet to really been been
Speaker 2: They've yet to really been able to get it going,
Speaker 2: And if you can keep that trend intact, then it
Speaker 2: gives you a good chance to knock them off tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Up there, So quick Break will come back on the
Speaker 2: other side. It's Coffee and company. Feel about Thorton's right
Speaker 2: here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Yeah, it looks like
Speaker 2: western North Carolina is the area of the country. I mean,
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say it's like the area of the country
Speaker 2: that is getting, you know, damage the most, because I
Speaker 2: don't know that to be a fact. I was just
Speaker 2: talking out of my ass, to be honest with you.
Speaker 2: But from what I've seen, which clearly is in everything
Speaker 2: I mean the pictures and video, I mean they're evacuating.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's emergency evacuations going on in a good
Speaker 2: part of North Carolina. But it looks like western North
Speaker 2: Carolina is in a bad, bad way. Asheville, of course,
Speaker 2: is a very popular city that I know a lot
Speaker 2: of people have been to. I've been through it but
Speaker 2: never stayed there, but I know a lot of people
Speaker 2: who make an annual trip to Ashville, and it's underwater
Speaker 2: right now, which is unfortunate.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: So I was looking here during the break at the
Speaker 2: current lines for Saturday's college football action, and you know,
Speaker 2: Louisville right now is sitting at as a seven point dog,
Speaker 2: and Kentucky they've had some movement with theirs. It was
Speaker 2: seventeen and a half last I saw, and now they
Speaker 2: are fifteen and a half point underdogs, so some movement there.
Speaker 2: I don't think Weather's gonna be much of a factor
Speaker 2: in Oxford, but I'm starting to get the sense that Kentucky.
Speaker 2: You know they might. I mean, I'm not betting it,
Speaker 2: but I feel like these are games that, honestly, Mark
Speaker 2: Stoops usually has his guys ready to play. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's not quite Georgia, but let's be real, it's number
Speaker 2: six Ole Miss. But what it really comes down to
Speaker 2: is are you going to be able to keep up
Speaker 2: with them? Offensively? Kentucky has not scored a touchdown in
Speaker 2: SEC action this year, and yes, part of that's because
Speaker 2: they played Georgia, but also South Carolina. I mean South
Speaker 2: Carolina gave up touchdowns to Old Dominion and that was
Speaker 2: just a terrible day for Kentucky. So to go back
Speaker 2: to what one of our texters said earlier this week
Speaker 2: as a Kentucky fan, they mentioned that I kept saying
Speaker 2: how I was waiting impatiently to see where Louisville stands
Speaker 2: because they had two bums in the first two games
Speaker 2: and then they had a bye week. But he was right,
Speaker 2: and I hadn't thought about it that way. But you're right,
Speaker 2: like you have no clue who Kentucky is if you're
Speaker 2: a Kentucky fan, I mean, are you more so like
Speaker 2: South Carolina or are you more so like the Georgia
Speaker 2: game because the other two games are kind of like,
Speaker 2: you know, hard to know. I mean, I would say
Speaker 2: their performance against Ohio was a nice was a nice
Speaker 2: bounce back for them because you know, they went into
Speaker 2: they were they on a buy after No, they weren't.
Speaker 2: They haven't had a buy yet. But you know, you
Speaker 2: kind of did what you were supposed to do against
Speaker 2: an Ohio team. But again, those are games that it's
Speaker 2: really tough to know, you know, if that, if that
Speaker 2: means much of anything. I'm looking here on sports Line
Speaker 2: because I'm curious to see where the money's at, like
Speaker 2: or is the money going heavily in old missus favor
Speaker 2: like I would have expected, Or are people thinking Kentucky's
Speaker 2: going to be able to potentially, you know, keep it closer. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so right now, Wow, sixty one percent of the money
Speaker 2: is on Kentucky seventeen.
Speaker 1: Is that surprise you, No, because I feel like a
Speaker 1: lot of that might be driven from Kentucky fans and
Speaker 1: maybe maybe even KSR didn't listen to their show this morning,
Speaker 1: but I know they put together little pieces and bits
Speaker 1: sometimes on what they think will happen in UK's games,
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't be surprised if that's.
Speaker 2: A fair I think they got Do you think they
Speaker 2: got that kind of all the money coming in for th.
Speaker 1: Who other than Kentucky fans.
Speaker 2: That's it's a lot of points though, Yeah, I think i.
Speaker 1: Miss scores a lot of points.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but old Miss, and I'm not Look, I'm not
Speaker 2: touching this game. I I think I'd be more surprised
Speaker 2: if it's like a close loss for them, like meaning
Speaker 2: like within a possession. I'd be more surprised by that
Speaker 2: than I would be if they get blown out by
Speaker 2: three touchdowns and and ole Miss covers. But Ole Miss,
Speaker 2: you know, Lane Kiffin, he's doing what coaches typically do,
Speaker 2: motivating his guys, but he's also just telling the truth.
Speaker 2: Kentucky will at least give them something as far as
Speaker 2: a challenge that they've not seen anything close to, because
Speaker 2: Ole Miss has had really nobody on the schedule up
Speaker 2: to this point. So I'm not touching it. But that
Speaker 2: kind of surprises me that there's there's that much confidence.
Speaker 2: And look, if you look at them, I'm looking at it.
Speaker 2: It really actually is just a whole lot of Uh,
Speaker 2: it's just a lot of money from maybe one or
Speaker 2: two betters because if you just go off of the public.
Speaker 2: So again, this is the way I may if I
Speaker 2: have this wrong, somebody can correct me. But yeah, and
Speaker 2: I'll just make sure I read it from this this description,
Speaker 2: so I'm not, you know, making a full of myself.
Speaker 2: Think of public as the percentage of people betting on
Speaker 2: each side in money is how much money is being
Speaker 2: bet That's what I assumed it meant. I just wanted
Speaker 2: to clarify. So sixty one percent of the money John
Speaker 2: is on Kentucky to cover as dogs. However, sixty one
Speaker 2: percent of the public is on Old Mystic cover. So
Speaker 2: when it comes to just people making a wager, rather
Speaker 2: it be one unit, five units whatever, people are still
Speaker 2: more confident in Kentucky not covering and Old miscovering his favorites.
Speaker 2: But yeah, to me, that just says there's like maybe
Speaker 2: a handful of big money bets that have influenced it
Speaker 2: that much. Are you touching this one?
Speaker 1: No, this is a stay away from me.
Speaker 2: I hear you.
Speaker 1: I'm going all big ten bets this weekend cause you're
Speaker 1: cause you're you're the company man of course in the
Speaker 1: USC to cover and then what's oh yeah, Illinois to
Speaker 1: cover that big spread against Penn State. That's what I've got.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna ride that with you because I'm starting to
Speaker 2: like Brett Beelam talking, talking reckless to Penn State and
Speaker 2: making him mad. Like some say, maybe he's poking a bear,
Speaker 2: but I love that he's like telling Penn State that
Speaker 2: your home environment's really not that special, like come on,
Speaker 2: chill out, because you know it fires him up. It does,
Speaker 2: which may be a backfires. But Bill, who knows, maybe
Speaker 2: a little winds up being good this year? All right,
Speaker 2: I can tell you who's really good all the time,
Speaker 2: not just this year. That's Jefferson Animal Hospital. Speaking of years,
Speaker 2: they've been doing this for forty four of them that's
Speaker 2: older than me, since nineteen eighty. They've been opened for
Speaker 2: twenty four hours a day, including all holidays. They've got
Speaker 2: a doctor on site every night, including Christmas. That's right,

Speaker 2: luck than I have when it comes to Tibetan on
Speaker 2: these football games. I mean, I didn't even touch the
Speaker 2: NFL last night other than my underdog fantasy play. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get back on the wagon this week, and
