Speaker 1: It's time for Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.
Speaker 2: A game day edition of Coffee and Company rolls along
Speaker 2: here on a Sports Talk seven ninety Nick Coffee. That's
Speaker 2: me the company man, mister John all On alongside. We'll
Speaker 2: be out of here a little bit earlier than we
Speaker 2: typically are because we have some live programming coming up
Speaker 2: here on the UK Women's side, But until then, we're
Speaker 2: gonna make the most of the time we do have.
Speaker 2: And Mondays are always a lot of fun, well, hell lot,
Speaker 2: because you have fun after you win. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: I've been able to kind of for the most part.
Speaker 2: You know, it doesn't really impact me like a in
Speaker 2: a big way. Like I'm just a sad fan that
Speaker 2: like wants my team to win, and I usually, I
Speaker 2: mean that's always the case, but usually I don't really
Speaker 2: I guess that quite as much throughout this show, at
Speaker 2: least I don't think I did. But I know this
Speaker 2: year was different because, man, demoralizing wouldn't be the right
Speaker 2: word to use. I mean, frustrating is still the best
Speaker 2: the best way I think I can describe it. But
Speaker 2: it was an unusual, and it still has been for
Speaker 2: the most part, right, Like I mean, the result on
Speaker 2: Saturday against Clemson was really I mean, it's at this
Speaker 2: point it's an isolated game, like there's Louisville hasn't really
Speaker 2: done that all year. But I think we've always known
Speaker 2: they were capable of it. We've seen signs that they
Speaker 2: they you know, can be the team that gets the
Speaker 2: type of win that they just got against Clemson. But
Speaker 2: it it, you know, and look, no matter how you lose,
Speaker 2: it sucks seeing your team lose to anybody, under any circumstances,
Speaker 2: the result that you don't want. But man, this has
Speaker 2: been a real learning experience for me that the way
Speaker 2: it all plays out is a big factor. And I
Speaker 2: just can't think of any season that I would compare
Speaker 2: this one too. I mean, after the Notre Dame loss,
Speaker 2: I remember being speechless for the postgame show, just because
Speaker 2: you know, you were right there fourth and one, you're
Speaker 2: driving with a chance to potentially, you know, take the lead,
Speaker 2: depending on what Jeff would have wanted to do there,
Speaker 2: and then you get a fourth and one, I'm sorry
Speaker 2: on fourth and one, you get a you get to
Speaker 2: delay a game like the one thing you can't do.
Speaker 2: And then you go back and think of all the
Speaker 2: mistakes that were made, and I just remember thinking like, man,
Speaker 2: like you really shot yourself on the foot repeatedly. Yet
Speaker 2: you showed it you're a good team and still had
Speaker 2: a chance to win. I'm glad they got that one
Speaker 2: out of the way. Now they can tighten some things
Speaker 2: up and and and you know, still achieved the ultimate goal,
Speaker 2: right winning the ACC and maybe going to the playoff.
Speaker 2: And yet they they weak in and week out. I mean,
Speaker 2: did kind of the same stuff where they were making
Speaker 2: avoidable mistakes and just not playing clean football. And you know,
Speaker 2: Brom called it sloppy. That's that's a word that is
Speaker 2: that is I think that it fits. So, you know,
Speaker 2: that was frustrating. I just I felt like, Okay, this
Speaker 2: team's identity is going to be that they had ability,
Speaker 2: but we'll never know really how good they could have
Speaker 2: because they couldn't get out of their own way at times. Well,
Speaker 2: they're changing their identity. I mean, you still got to
Speaker 2: live with the losses that you had, right you know,
Speaker 2: you can't go back and change those. But I'm going
Speaker 2: to hope that what happened in the second half at
Speaker 2: Boston College, where this defense really started to look like
Speaker 2: the defense we were talking about all off season, and
Speaker 2: your offense has kind of done their part throughout the year.
Speaker 2: Your offense has been good enough. And if in fact,
Speaker 2: they carry this momentum the next few weeks and went
Speaker 2: out the regular season and finished nine to three, I
Speaker 2: think we will be able to say that they they
Speaker 2: got it together, they changed their identity. They no longer
Speaker 2: are a team that was just consistently going to make
Speaker 2: avoidable mistakes. So again, the big picture for Louisville, like
Speaker 2: heading into this year, I don't know how many fans
Speaker 2: realistically expected to be in the playoff, But when you
Speaker 2: were coming off of a ten win season where you
Speaker 2: played in the ACC championship game last year, in the
Speaker 2: playoff is expanding to twelve, I think you realized, hey, like,
Speaker 2: if we could have the type of season we had
Speaker 2: last year, there's a good chance we're going to be
Speaker 2: in the mix. So I don't know people expected it
Speaker 2: and had the mindset if they don't get there, then
Speaker 2: something wrong. This is a major red flag. I don't
Speaker 2: think it was that, but for that whole thing to
Speaker 2: kind of be shot and dead and there being no,
Speaker 2: I mean you have. You've been out of the playoff
Speaker 2: picture since you lost your second game, right, I mean
Speaker 2: you've been out of the ACC race since you lost
Speaker 2: to Miami, and then you know, that was pretty much
Speaker 2: midway through the year. And I don't think anybody believed
Speaker 2: that this team was bad and that they you know,
Speaker 2: that there's a major problem with like the talent this,
Speaker 2: and that it was just kind of a mess. So,
Speaker 2: you know, a punch to the gut, if you will,
Speaker 2: when it comes to midway through the season having to realize,
Speaker 2: like all the big picture stuff that you that you
Speaker 2: thought about, that you believed realistically was possible, it's already gone.
Speaker 2: But all you can do is, you know, go from
Speaker 2: there and this team does win out, you know, easier
Speaker 2: said than done. We'll see if that ends up happening.
Speaker 2: I mean, it'll still be a really really strong second
Speaker 2: season of the Jeff bron era, and I think you'd
Speaker 2: have a lot of momentum and that's better than you know,
Speaker 2: limping to the rest of the season and feeling sorry
Speaker 2: for yourself and I well, never know because it didn't
Speaker 2: play out that way. But when they've been down twenty
Speaker 2: to nothing in the first half at Boston College. With
Speaker 2: the way the season had played out up until that point,
Speaker 2: I think a lot of teams would have just mailed
Speaker 2: it in. Now. They wouldn't have, you know, collectively, just
Speaker 2: said hey, we quit. But I think it would have
Speaker 2: been very natural and almost expected to see the team
Speaker 2: go through the motions and just kind of realize, man,
Speaker 2: this this didn't work out this year, especially when you
Speaker 2: consider how many guys on this team are new this year. Right,
Speaker 2: these aren't guys that have been at Louisville for four
Speaker 2: or five years and played for Jeff for many years.
Speaker 2: Like these are guys that, honestly a good chunk of
Speaker 2: the guys we talked about this year. They're only here
Speaker 2: one year or you know, or they're new here and
Speaker 2: maybe they'll be here longer than one year. So I
Speaker 2: give these guys a lot of credit. I give Jeff,
Speaker 2: Bram and staff a lot of credit because moral victories
Speaker 2: are you know, what losers do, and I hate doing that.
Speaker 2: But the fact that they were able to at least
Speaker 2: put themselves in positions late in games against Miami SMU
Speaker 2: and Notre Dame. I mean, you still lost, but I
Speaker 2: think again, and I'm not saying we got to chalk
Speaker 2: this up on the scoreboard, like, hey, at least we
Speaker 2: didn't quit, because you don't want to ever be I mean,
Speaker 2: it's just it sounds off to give people credit for
Speaker 2: not quitting. You should never quit. But even in those losses,
Speaker 2: this team's still after making mistakes, they put themselves back
Speaker 2: in position or where you felt like, Okay, here we go,
Speaker 2: we got a chance. Here are we gonna get it done?
Speaker 2: Are we once again gonna lose a close game and
Speaker 2: look back on all the mistakes that we made And
Speaker 2: that's what they did many times until you know they didn't.
Speaker 2: And if they end up finishing strong, let's say they
Speaker 2: went out and like they're all blowouts. Again not predicting it,
Speaker 2: we'll see, but like, if that's the case, I will
Speaker 2: look back at that Boston College game and say, I
Speaker 2: don't know what was said at the halftime there. I
Speaker 2: don't know what you know, what flipped the switch, But man,
Speaker 2: that's where this team, that's where they came together. All right,
Speaker 2: let's see. I will remind you we will have basketball
Speaker 2: postgame coverage tonight as soon as the game ends. I'm
Speaker 2: trying to make the most of the time we have here.
Speaker 2: We haven't talked a whole lot about basketball, but the
Speaker 2: night Morehead State first real game. When I think of
Speaker 2: Morehead State, I'm sure the same thing I think about
Speaker 2: is what comes to mind for you guys, and that
Speaker 2: is that you know, this Morehead State team did give
Speaker 2: Louisville their worst loss of the I mean, their worst
Speaker 2: upset in the NSAA tournament. I'm not even really sure
Speaker 2: what would be a close second. But they have a
Speaker 2: new coach at Morehead. Jonathan Maddox was an assistant of
Speaker 2: the guy whose name I'm already forgetting. He's a Kentucky native,
Speaker 2: but he left to take the job at James Madison
Speaker 2: and they just promoted from within. So you know, they
Speaker 2: were really good last year, this Morehead State team. They
Speaker 2: won a lot of games. They don't bring back a
Speaker 2: ton from that team just because you know the portal.
Speaker 2: I mean, believe it or not, Nobody pays attention to
Speaker 2: the guys that leave from this level very often. But
Speaker 2: even if you're somebody that's not putting up big numbers
Speaker 2: that's going to attract attention from programs of the Power
Speaker 2: five level. You could average eight a game at Morehead
Speaker 2: and still hit the Portland and up elsewhere. Like these
Speaker 2: guys actually at this level bounce around more than you
Speaker 2: might expect. So like Louisville, it's it's, you know, not
Speaker 2: all brand new, but pretty new if you will, and
Speaker 2: if you are somebody that keeps up with the gambling
Speaker 2: side of things. Louisville currently favored by twenty one and
Speaker 2: a half. I'm going to I was going to refresh
Speaker 2: there to see if maybe there's been an update, but
Speaker 2: it does not look like there has, at least not
Speaker 2: here At DraftKings. FanDuel also has Louisville at minus twenty
Speaker 2: one and a half. So, look, they may win the night,
Speaker 2: they may win big, they may cover. That'd be great.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna you know, I'm not gonna bet on
Speaker 2: it because I don't have any need to and I
Speaker 2: you know, I wouldn't want to bet Morehead State to cover,
Speaker 2: and I don't feel confident enough that Louisll's going to
Speaker 2: win this game by twenty two points because Morehead's a
Speaker 2: respectable opponent and you know, I think more I mean, look,
Speaker 2: Wolvevill's still going to be putting. I don't want to
Speaker 2: stay putting it all together because that makes it sound
Speaker 2: like like that's giving me like PTSD flashbacks of like
Speaker 2: Kenny Payne telling it's gonna take Tome, It's gonna take Tome.
Speaker 2: Like No, Pat Kelsey has had these guys in play
Speaker 2: since pretty early on in the offseason, right he put
Speaker 2: together his roster. Maybe not as I mean, in fact,
Speaker 2: he did move pretty quickly. It's just that he had
Speaker 2: to literally build an entire team, whereas a lot of
Speaker 2: schools in college basketball had to add, you know, five
Speaker 2: six guys. So with that said, you know, I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna be shocked if you have some segments of play.
Speaker 2: Meaning when I say segment, I mean you know, in
Speaker 2: between TV timeouts, right, you play a twenty minute half
Speaker 2: and there's you know, there's there's the under sixteen time out,
Speaker 2: the under twelve. You guys know, if you follow close enough,
Speaker 2: and you know, I wouldn't be shocked if there's a
Speaker 2: couple of you know, a couple of segments within this
Speaker 2: game where maybe morehead state in that segment, maybe they're
Speaker 2: maybe they were won by four or five points or
Speaker 2: something like that. And I think that's to be expected
Speaker 2: when you've got your opener. And again it's not as
Speaker 2: much that this group like, and again they are all
Speaker 2: brand new they have. The only experience they have playing
Speaker 2: together is what we saw in the Bahamas and what
Speaker 2: we saw in these last two exhibition games. But I
Speaker 2: just think the difference in competition is going to be
Speaker 2: so much different that, like, you know, it might you know,
Speaker 2: it might take some adjusting. Now, with that said, a
Speaker 2: good question that came in earlier, and I'm glad you
Speaker 2: ask it. Anytime you ask it probably doesn't make for
Speaker 2: good radio. But when people ask questions that like I've
Speaker 2: given a lot of thought on, I really don't know
Speaker 2: how to answer it. I usually bring it to the airwaves,
Speaker 2: but typically that just makes me look like a fool,
Speaker 2: I suppose. But if Louisville was to play there like
Speaker 2: their second unit, do I think that Louisville's second unit
Speaker 2: would be better than the Like if you put your
Speaker 2: starting five against your second group, would that be more
Speaker 2: of a challenge for your starters than if you took
Speaker 2: more head state starting lineup? And I feel arrogant saying that, Yeah,
Speaker 2: the Louisville reserves, guys like Corn Johnson and Casein Pryor
Speaker 2: who don't start, would clearly be better than whoever Morehead
Speaker 2: State starts. So yes, Like I don't want to sound
Speaker 2: overly confident, but yeah, so maybe, And I think the
Speaker 2: question you're asking, maybe you weren't intending for this to happen,
Speaker 2: but it's made me realize that maybe I shouldn't expect
Speaker 2: this Louisville team to take some time to kind of,
Speaker 2: you know, settle in. I mean, even if you've got
Speaker 2: a big chunk of your team coming back. In college basketball,
Speaker 2: like I think there's always been a level of like, Okay, well, hey,
Speaker 2: it's the first game, you know they'll settle in. I'm
Speaker 2: just excited, man, because it starts for real tonight. The
Speaker 2: exhibition games were you know something, I mean, you were
Speaker 2: able to see Louisville dominate, and it's nice to be
Speaker 2: able to complete exhibition exhibition action knowing that you avoided
Speaker 2: a loss for the first time in three seasons. But
Speaker 2: tonight it's real Morehead State. I have a lot of
Speaker 2: respect for their program and for those asking two people
Speaker 2: have asked, what would your reaction be if they lost?
Speaker 2: Like why are you even saying that? I mean, if
Speaker 2: you're like a UK fan, I get it, but like,
Speaker 2: I'm not even going there not going to go there.
Speaker 2: Try not to go there because it would be bad.
Speaker 2: It'd be really bad. In fact, I hope that they
Speaker 2: play well tonight and cover. But even if they don't cover,
Speaker 2: but they look good doing it. Maybe it's a backdoor
Speaker 2: cover by Morehead State, you know, you know, I think
Speaker 2: that's the result given that football's off this week, where
Speaker 2: you can look at Saturday at noon playing a top
Speaker 2: fifteen team in Tennessee, a wide out in November, which
Speaker 2: is rare, Like I hope like crazy that that place
Speaker 2: is rowdy and close to full. I don't know if
Speaker 2: that's going to happen. I hope that it does. But
Speaker 2: you play well tonight, you look good doing it. The
Speaker 2: programs around here certainly feed off each other. And with
Speaker 2: football getting that big win, if Pat Kelsey's able to
Speaker 2: you know, went impressively tonight in his first real game,
Speaker 2: there's gonna be a lot of buzz. I mean, there
Speaker 2: already is a lot of buzz and anticipation for this
Speaker 2: game against Tennessee on Saturday. But you know, playing well
Speaker 2: tonight can only help you when it comes to getting
Speaker 2: more and more people interested in and getting out to
Speaker 2: the UMP Center. And I mean that would be huge.
Speaker 2: I mean again, we've got to get past more Head
Speaker 2: State before you can get to it, before you can
Speaker 2: get to Tennessee. But if they start too and oh
Speaker 2: this year, and knowing the football team is off on
Speaker 2: Saturday with a bye like that would be a hell
Speaker 2: of a week for a Louisville for a Louisville fans,
Speaker 2: A hell of a week, all right. Five O two,
Speaker 2: five seven one seventy nine hundred is the number if
Speaker 2: you guys want to jump in and join us on
Speaker 2: the phone lines again, five O two, five to seven,
Speaker 2: one seventy nine hundred. It is Coffee and Company and
Speaker 2: we are fueled by Thornton's here game day edition. Good vibes,
Speaker 2: no doubt. All right, let's go to the phone ones.
Speaker 2: Let's welcome in, Ben, Ben, How are you doing this afternoon? Brother?
Speaker 3: Hey? What's up? Nick?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 3: Uh? Man? I call it talking about football, but man,
Speaker 3: you got going on basketball and I'm excited, I really am. Uh.
Speaker 3: I think we can do some things, man, but uh
Speaker 3: I want to. I don't love you, hit and and
Speaker 3: I know you don't like talking about this a lot,
Speaker 3: but man, the ticket prices are autrgeous right now?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know what's going on, like get into like
Speaker 4: fifty bucks after fees, and that's just like what you
Speaker 4: want to take a family of four that's two hundred
Speaker 4: bucks on a Monday to watch, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: It's like, come on, guys, I know I can't do
Speaker 4: nothing about it, but I know.
Speaker 2: Talking about it well, well Ben, but then I'll say this, man,
Speaker 2: I think you know, like I have talked about the
Speaker 2: attendants a little bit, and it's because like you need
Speaker 2: people to go to games, you want to have good crowds.
Speaker 2: It's important, like it matters in every aspect. But anybody
Speaker 2: who looks at prices at checkout tonight to go to
Speaker 2: see Louisville play Morehead State and decides that they're not
Speaker 2: gonna do it, like, I don't blame them at all.
Speaker 2: So like I I it's important, but like that price point,
Speaker 2: it's just not realistic to expect eighteen thousand or even
Speaker 2: close to that to to pay for that on a
Speaker 2: Monday night against Morehead. And I hate saying that because
Speaker 2: again it makes it like, oh, we know, we don't care.
Speaker 2: It's not that, it's just that's really not doable financially
Speaker 2: for a lot of people.
Speaker 5: These days.
Speaker 3: No, no, and especially you know it's again no sense
Speaker 3: the more head. But you know we've got a lot
Speaker 3: more bigger games coming up and we're gonna work over
Speaker 3: that much for more head might as though saved for
Speaker 3: you know, a good game. Absolutely whatever, But man, I
Speaker 3: kind of talk a little about football. Man, I was
Speaker 3: like you, nigger, I didn't really think we had it
Speaker 3: to the end. I didn't think we were headed in
Speaker 3: the hand at all. Nervous hell, so we did. We
Speaker 3: pulled it out. But and defense looked great because it
Speaker 3: was the best they looked all year, and they got tough.
Speaker 3: We finished strong and we end up for somehow beating
Speaker 3: Kentucky and finished nine and three with the win over
Speaker 3: Clemson of Kentucky. I take that over anything but that.
Speaker 3: It's probably a playoff bers, but you know that's just me.
Speaker 3: But I just don't ask you something, Nick, Man. It's
Speaker 3: say we finished strong and undefeated. Do you think Brian
Speaker 3: English gets to keep his job? I hang up and
Speaker 3: listen Nick on the show.
Speaker 2: But thanks Ben, appreciative brother.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean I would say, regardless of the finish, the
Speaker 2: probably be. I mean there's gonna be there's conversations with
Speaker 2: every staffer after the year to kind of reset reevaluate
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. But I would say for Ron English,
Speaker 2: you know, he really I mean, that was huge for
Speaker 2: him on Saturday because there were some callers even in
Speaker 2: the post game show kind of acknowledging, Hey, how could
Speaker 2: how could this defense have been so bad earlier this
Speaker 2: year that kind of stuff, And you're not wrong, but
Speaker 2: that was impressive. And I'm given credit to both the players,
Speaker 2: but obviously the guy that's that's that's running that defense,
Speaker 2: and these guys really do, like I mean, I don't
Speaker 2: know about everybody, but like there's never been a a
Speaker 2: thought that Louisville's defense is struggling and there's poor communication
Speaker 2: and there's mass confusion at times because they don't like
Speaker 2: their coach like I think they they love Ron English
Speaker 2: and he has a lot of support from these players,
Speaker 2: and he clearly had enough support from Jeff Brohm. He's
Speaker 2: still his guy. But that was like, if he doesn't
Speaker 2: revert back and they continue to play really well defensively
Speaker 2: the rest of the season, then I would say more
Speaker 2: likely than not, he'll probably still be here. But then again,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, it's just I shouldn't say inexcusable,
Speaker 2: because it does happen from time to time, but it
Speaker 2: felt like, really all here until Clemson, until Saturday night,
Speaker 2: the Louisville defense would kind of need to see the
Speaker 2: other team have a couple of possessions to figure out
Speaker 2: what they want to do. And sometimes you'll have a
Speaker 2: team that'll throw something at you that you didn't expect.
Speaker 2: You didn't see it on film taking you were taking aback,
Speaker 2: But that wasn't really what was happening. Right every week,
Speaker 2: quarterbacks that can run, they were able to see, hey,
Speaker 2: you all are making this easy. We're gonna take off
Speaker 2: and run with our quarterback, and it was working. There
Speaker 2: were no adjustments, and at least not big adjustments. So
Speaker 2: it's tough to say if he'll be back for sure.
Speaker 2: I mean, I would imagine, you know, Jeff brom is
Speaker 2: going to consider what's best for the program, and Ron
Speaker 2: English certainly took a huge step in the right direction
Speaker 2: as far as showing that he is somebody that can
Speaker 2: get good results for the defense. But I don't know.
Speaker 2: I hate to give you such a non answer, but
Speaker 2: I could see I could see both things playing out
Speaker 2: where they make a move to go in a different
Speaker 2: direction just because they, you know, want to try something else,
Speaker 2: or maybe he's still the guy because hey, you know,
Speaker 2: brom has really only had one defensive coordinator at all
Speaker 2: three stops that has really at times not only worked out,
Speaker 2: but like had good defensive play and it's run English.
Speaker 2: So I think that's why he came. He didn't come
Speaker 2: to Louisville from Purdue with Jeff because of a phenomenal resume.
Speaker 2: Jeff built a staff there and he had a defense
Speaker 2: that was working more so than really ever has as
Speaker 2: his time as a head coach, and it would make
Speaker 2: total sense to carry that over here with you. And
Speaker 2: since he's been here, we've had a mixed bag. A
Speaker 2: great start last year kind of fell apart late this
Speaker 2: year kind of been a rough start, and now they're
Speaker 2: kind of getting it together. So we shall see, all right,
Speaker 2: quick time out, we'll come back on the other side.
Speaker 2: And what I want to get to again, I I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna share something that I've not shared before, but
Speaker 2: like I don't know the solution to the tickets and
Speaker 2: attendance kind of thing, and I don't, you know, it's
Speaker 2: something that's not gonna go away as far as a
Speaker 2: talking point something Louisville fans want to talk about. And
Speaker 2: I get it. It's just I don't have any fiery
Speaker 2: hot take opinions. I just you know, we'll get to it.
Speaker 2: On the other side, they'll stick with us right here
Speaker 2: on Sports Talk seven ninety. Don't forget coming up tonight.
Speaker 2: As soon as the game ends, and I mean as
Speaker 2: soon as the game ends between Louisville and Morehead State,
Speaker 2: we'll go live here for the Louisville Basketball postgame show
Speaker 2: reacting to whatever it is that happens. And I'm expecting,
Speaker 2: you know, get I'm expecting Louisville to win. I really
Speaker 2: don't have any doubt that they're gonna win. But I
Speaker 2: guess what I'm trying to emphasize without making it seem
Speaker 2: as if like I'm scared, is that, like I know
Speaker 2: that Morehead State is going to be a different type
Speaker 2: of test than what they've had so far in exhibition play.
Speaker 2: But I'm glad somebody asked this question earlier on the
Speaker 2: text line. They're a team that the way they're built,
Speaker 2: they're like practices should be should be super competitive. The
Speaker 2: hell is that my phone just started with the election
Speaker 2: going on I feel like my phone's getting hacked or
Speaker 2: something like, I'm my phone was sitting down and did
Speaker 2: you could you hear anything from did you hear my voice?
Speaker 5: It was said. It just sounded like a female voice.
Speaker 2: It was Kamala Harris.
Speaker 5: I'm not getting into your phone now. Huh.
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding. I don't know what that was, like,
Speaker 2: do you did she say? I didn't. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I turned I turned it off. I don't want to
Speaker 2: playing on the air. I don't know what it was.
Speaker 2: It was really odd anyways, Sorry distracted. It's a reminder though,
Speaker 2: that Louisville winning and me now consuming more of what's
Speaker 2: being said in the college football world because you know,
Speaker 2: I feel good about my team. I'm not just you know,
Speaker 2: ignoring it because I don't want to be reminded that
Speaker 2: they were losing these games earlier this year. It has
Speaker 2: led me to kind of not mean, as we get
Speaker 2: closer to the election, election day, which is tomorrow, like
Speaker 2: I've kind of been I don't know, kind of check.
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like I have to remind myself
Speaker 2: every now and then, oh yeah, it's election day tomorrow,
Speaker 2: because you know, you're selling Nick Saban right, Yeah, well no,
Speaker 2: there never there never be a scenario where I could
Speaker 2: claim that I wasn't aware. Uh And and you know,
Speaker 2: it's it's easy to see it when you when you
Speaker 2: do just peruse any social media or really any ad
Speaker 2: right now, commercials, television, radio, whatever, Like it's we're that close.
Speaker 2: But I'm just ready for it to be over.
Speaker 5: I'm so excited the ranking show is still tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you can, because you can get lost in
Speaker 2: that and just kind of like, you know, like I
Speaker 2: am going to be more interested to see how it's
Speaker 2: shaping up than I usually will be on an election day,
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, just because of what this
Speaker 2: this race is this time around. But you know, it
Speaker 2: would be kind of fun to challenge yourself to just
Speaker 2: be completely unplugged, right and like you like go to bed,
Speaker 2: put turn your phone off, and wake up tomorrow morning
Speaker 2: or Wednesday morning, and you know at that point, just
Speaker 2: I mean, you have a tough time to catch.
Speaker 5: Up and know who the president is on what Well.
Speaker 2: Here's what's going to happen. There might be an official
Speaker 2: like we might know, but no, the losing side is
Speaker 2: going to have a tough time accepting it, right, like
Speaker 2: that's what's going to happen here like that. I think
Speaker 2: that's the safest bet, to be honest with you, all right,
Speaker 2: the safest bet when it comes to your pet. Jefferson
Speaker 2: Animal Hospital keep them in mind. I know a lot
Speaker 2: of you have pets and their family, right, you love them,
Speaker 2: you need to keep them safe and healthy. And your
Speaker 2: pets they aren't going to communicate with you and let
Speaker 2: you know if they've got a I mean, they may
Speaker 2: not even know they've got some kind of a serious
Speaker 2: health thing going on, right, I mean a lot of
Speaker 2: I mean humans or pets. Sometimes you learn way way
Speaker 2: too late that you've got some kind of a health
Speaker 2: thing going on, and it's pretty serious. So if you
Speaker 2: haven't had your pet checked out in a while, get
Speaker 2: them checked out at the Jefferson Animal Hospital.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: They're on outer loop. They've been in business since nineteen eighty,
Speaker 2: forty four years. They're open three hundred and sixty five
Speaker 2: days a year, including Christmas in case of an emergency,
Speaker 2: but it doesn't have to be an emergency. If you
Speaker 2: know you need to get your pet checked out because
Speaker 2: they haven't had it check up in a long time,
Speaker 2: reach out to them today. Five h two nine hundred pets.
Speaker 2: That's the number if you want to give them a call,
Speaker 2: and you can also check them out online at Jefferson
Speaker 2: Vetts dot com. All right, again, we are we are
Speaker 2: out of here earlier today, and that gives me a
Speaker 2: rare opportunity to do something that I that I've never
Speaker 2: done since we made this move. I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go pick up my kids.
Speaker 5: John, Hey, that would be fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, hopefully they're in a good mood. I usually,
Speaker 2: you know, give them sugar and candy in the morning
Speaker 2: and they're happy and it's a great enjoyable drive and
Speaker 2: commute for everything. But you know, we'll see. But it
Speaker 2: is exciting. And I'm also excited for Louisville, Morehead State
Speaker 2: tonight basketball seasons here maybe nothing but college hoops all
Speaker 2: day today and we get to see the first official
Speaker 2: game of the Pat Kelsey era tonight at seven. And
Speaker 2: again We're going to react to it once once it's over,
Speaker 2: and I'm not gonna bet on it. But if I
Speaker 2: had to take a side here, like you know, gun
Speaker 2: to my head, which please don't put a gun to
Speaker 2: my head, I would take Louisville to cover twenty one
Speaker 2: and a half, just because I think, you know this,
Speaker 2: these players, they should be energized to get out in
Speaker 2: front of this crowd, you know, in a real game
Speaker 2: like this. I hope that the atmosphere in the vibe
Speaker 2: is not similar to what we had against Spaulding and
Speaker 2: against Young Harris. If it is, that would be unfortunate,
Speaker 2: but I would also understand why. But I think these
Speaker 2: guys are They're gonna be ready to play. And I
Speaker 2: think Morehead State from what I gather, and this is
Speaker 2: one of the things I did look into a little
Speaker 2: bit earlier. I didn't want to nerd out too much
Speaker 2: on just basketball stuff when it comes to Morehead State,
Speaker 2: considering louisvill football's coming off a win against Clemson and
Speaker 2: you know, we didn't have as much time as we
Speaker 2: typically have today. But Morehead State, I think is going
Speaker 2: to want to try to play the same style that
Speaker 2: Louisville does, and that I think could be a pretty
Speaker 2: dangerous thing for them to do. And there's gonna be
Speaker 2: some teams that realize, hey, we don't want to run
Speaker 2: with them, and Morehead may decide to do that tonight.
Speaker 2: But if it's a game where there's a ton of possessions,
Speaker 2: a lot of threes. Then I would imagine that'll be
Speaker 2: in Louisville's favor, maybe in a big way. So fingers
Speaker 2: crossed again, we're out of here. Sorry for the short
Speaker 2: show today, but we're back live tonight as soon as
Speaker 2: it ends. Right here for the first Louisville well, the
Speaker 2: first I guess, official Louisville basketball post game show right
Speaker 2: here on Sports Talk seven to ninety
