At least it is 14 00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.479 for this show, because it feels like a Friday, and 15 00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:58.240 that used to be a thing. I would be like, damn, 16 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.560 it's not Friday. We got another but no vibes are 17 00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:06.040 gonna be good today, Tomorrow, the weekend good stuff.

John's going to Louder than Life 19 00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:12.079 and we should, uh, we should have some fun the 20 00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:13.879 next uh, the next few days. But today, from three 21 00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:16.120 to six, we're gonna get down to business. This is 22 00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.560 a professional sports talk show. We can say that it's 23 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:21.560 professional because we get paid to do it right, Like, 24 00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:22.799 doesn't that make it professional. 25 00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:24.359 Yeah, And I put on a clip on tie every 26 00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:26.400 time we get rolling, too. That makes it very professional. 27 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:28.079 Do you have you Do you own a clip on tie? 28 00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:29.439 I don't think I do it. Are they still a 29 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:31.920 thing they were whenever I was you had one in 30 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:32.640 early high school? 31 00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:34.640 Yeah, when you're a kid, it makes a little more sense. 32 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.560 I feel like I'm not. I don't know. Maybe they 33 00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:40.239 just make them a lot better now, but clip on ties, 34 00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:41.920 and I don't know how to tie a tie. I 35 00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:44.560 have a fat neck and a small head. Uh So 36 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:47.879 you know, even if a tie, I just it looks 37 00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.200 any tie looks as if like I'm about like my 38 00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.640 head's just about to pop off. But I used to 39 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.200 feel like I could. I had a pretty good radar 40 00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:56.359 for spotting a tie that was legit and a tie 41 00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:57.840 that was a clip on. So maybe they've made him 42 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.040 better or I think they might have disappeared. But if 43 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:02.680 we had to wear a tie, we wouldn't do this right, 44 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:04.040 Like that wouldn't be fune really suck. 45 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.519 And I bet back in the day, whenever radio was 46 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.520 in its infancy, I bet there were people who showed 47 00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:10.680 up and spoke into a microphone with a suit and 48 00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:12.240 tie on yeah. 49 00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.159 I mean, I'm sure there still are some people that 50 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:17.879 do that, and you know, props to them. They're they're 51 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:21.039 i mean, they're the real pros. We're just like we're 52 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:24.159 semi pro right, Yeah, that's what we are, Like willbe Crow, Yeah, 53 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:26.479 that's right. So it's Coffee and Company fiel Beeth Thorton's 54 00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.000 and this is Sports Talk seven ninety and we're taking 55 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:30.800 you up till six o'clock Nick Coffee.

A couple guests set to join us today. 61 00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:45.360 We will talk coming up here at four oh five 62 00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:47.960 with a young man making his debut here. I'm sure 63 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.240 he's excited and I mean it's a big deal to 64 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.759 be a part of this show. Coffee and Company. Tyler 65 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:57.560 Horka Blue Andgold dot Com covers the Irish very curious 66 00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.520 to get his thoughts on the matchup as far as 67 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:03.479 how you know they're looking at Louisville, because you know, 68 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.479 I've seen some and I've heard some when it comes 69 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:10.000 to the Notre Dame talking heads out there that have podcasts, 70 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.560 and I don't know if there's any sports radio up 71 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:14.759 in South Bend. It's not much of a market, but 72 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.120 you know they do have Notre Dame. So they're not 73 00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:20.879 like disrespecting Louisville as if they are going to blow 74 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.360 the doors off of Louisville. But it's more just about 75 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:27.199 realizing how important it is for Notre Dame here because 76 00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:32.280 a loss, really a loss anywhere, any any anyway, would 77 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:32.919 eliminate them. 78 00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:33.120 Right. 79 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:35.479 Like again, I keep getting triggered John, because I'm seeing 80 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:39.240 people act as if Notre Dame, like right now, is 81 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:43.479 still position position to potentially be in and I don't 82 00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:45.000 think that should be. I mean, I don't think that's 83 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.800 the case at all. But like any loss to anybody 84 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.400 would eliminate them, right I would think a two lost 85 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:52.639 team without a chance to win a league and one 86 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.439 of their losses is terrible, like they'd be done. They 87 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:56.240 should just close up shop the rest of the season. 88 00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.719 There's going to be too many teams in the SEC 89 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.039 and really the Big Ten, specifically both of those two 90 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:02.919 conferences that are going to get at large bids that 91 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.080 are probably going to keep Notre Dame. Even if they 92 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.759 did somehow go ten and two, that would keep Notre 93 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:09.120 Dame from getting in the playoff fie. 94 00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.039 I mean, I think eleven and one if your wins 95 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.840 don't end up being really cause they this is really 96 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:17.920 bad for Notre Dame. And this is a factor in 97 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:19.639 why it's such a big game for them, and I 98 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.240 think the reason this one. I mean, I don't think 99 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:24.639 they're going to do this each and every week because 100 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:29.399 they realize, you know, that would mean their backs against 101 00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:31.439 the wall. There's no doubt about it. And Louisville is 102 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:33.879 a top fifteen team right now. Louisville on paper is 103 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:37.040 again on paper. We'll see where Louisville really stands on Saturday, 104 00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:39.720 but it's the toughest challenge yet and it would give 105 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:41.680 them another really good win because they have the win 106 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.000 against Texas A and M on the road. So you know, 107 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.120 I think what I'm hearing as far as noise from 108 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.120 the Notre Dame side, it's mostly just about the significance 109 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.680 of this game, and you know, they gotta win. I mean, 110 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:55.800 they got to win them all, but this one is 111 00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:58.439 probably the most Losable they have left as far as 112 00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.160 their home schedule, and you know it would be a 113 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.519 big win for him. And that doesn't mean, you know, 114 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.160 Notre Dame's looking at Louisville like their super Bowl. But 115 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:08.680 right now, it's early. It's too early to know really 116 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.160 where a lot of teams truly are. But Louisville is 117 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.360 one of those teams for sure that here we are 118 00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.600 at the end of September, and I think we have 119 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:20.600 an idea who they are. But this challenge here at 120 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:25.439 Notre Dame South Bend, I mean, this is a bigger 121 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.800 challenge than what they had last week against Georgia Tech. 122 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.839 So I'm excited. I'm just ready for the damn game 123 00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:34.519 to start. They're wearing green. They've announced they're gonna wear 124 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:36.399 their green uniforms, which I don't know why that's such 125 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.040 a big deal. I mean, maybe that's a rare thing. 126 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.079 They never wear them, but I mean throughout the week 127 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:45.160 I saw some people reporting on it, those who cover 128 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.439 Notre Dame. Marcus Freeman says the captains the seniors have 129 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.560 yet to decide what color they're gonna wear, and then 130 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:54.040 breaking news they're wearing the green, and I'm like, oh, Okay, 131 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.720 like you know what I mean. Cool, But like that's 132 00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.959 usually you see the official act for the team and 133 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:04.160 the program like put out a Uni thread picture. It's 134 00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:06.839 rarely something that gets, you know, the coverage of the 135 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:08.759 beat Riders. Got to make sure everybody knows what color 136 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:10.720 uniform they're going to wear. It's kind of odd. But anyways, 137 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.800 we'll talk about this matchup and get the perspective from 138 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:15.600 the Notre Dame side, coming up here at four oh 139 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.040 five with Tyler horka Blue Andgold dot Com. We'll also 140 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:22.800 talk to our man, Kent Spencer from WHAS eleven. He'll 141 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:25.839 join us at five oh five. And I felt bad 142 00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:30.240 because Kent, you know, usually Fridays, I try not to 143 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.240 get him on Fridays because Friday's busy day. They've got 144 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.759 high school football coverage. And then I realized, after I've 145 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:38.480 written him a text asking if you wanted to come 146 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.399 on today, that they've shifted that. In fact, this is 147 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.360 unusual to me, so high school football a lot of schools. 148 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.120 In fact, let me pull it up here because WDRB 149 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.519 just had a write up about it. Yeah, so apparently 150 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.800 there are nineteen, at least nineteen high school football games 151 00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.839 in Kentucky have been moved to Thursday night instead of Friday. 152 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:03.319 So this is not a well, I guess this generation's 153 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.519 getting soft. They can't play football. 154 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:05.560 In the rain. 155 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.160 Back in my day, we would, you know, we would. 156 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:10.519 I don't know, you know what I mean, Like, that's 157 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:12.120 not what I'm not trying to sound like that guy, 158 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.879 but it is unusual to see them call it off 159 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:19.680 for rain. Now. I guess winds gonna be a big deal. 160 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:21.040 I mean, John, you just told me you don't think 161 00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:23.079 we're going to have Louder than Life tomorrow because of 162 00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:24.480 the weather. I mean, were just talking about a lot 163 00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:25.680 of rain. We'd be looking at here there. 164 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:28.160 So and again I'm obviously not a meteorologist. I'm not 165 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.560 spoken with anybody with Louder than Life, of course, but 166 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.639 they're expecting not only rain literally from eleven pm tonight 167 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.879 throughout the entirety of the day tomorrow, but they're also 168 00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:41.120 expecting forty to fifty mile per hour winds potentially. 169 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:43.160 So the wind is what really, that's the kick it 170 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.680 right and the flooding right, A couple of inches of 171 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.160 rain potentially, because because you can play football in the rain, 172 00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:50.600 it's just lightning and whatnot, that they would actually say 173 00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:52.160 you're not allowed to play. Now, nobody would want to 174 00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:53.800 be out. I mean, nobody would want to be outside 175 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.199 watching their kids play high school football in the rain. 176 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:58.319 And I'm sure once you're a player, you know, you 177 00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.160 probably feel like you'd be more of your natural self 178 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.279 and your team would have a better chance of executing 179 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:06.160 if the conditions are better than nothing but rain and 180 00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:09.839 a flooded field. But I guess, like I don't know 181 00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:13.839 again now I am kind of shifting into uh badass 182 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:17.600 mode here, thinking this generation's gone soft because I mean, 183 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:19.839 maybe my team would have had a better record if 184 00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:21.560 we didn't have to play when it was windy outside. 185 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:23.000 You know, I'd like may in high school, maybe my 186 00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:25.160 Northwood Eagles would have had better seasons. They just called, 187 00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:28.120 you know, a little wind and rain, we gotta, we gotta. 188 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.720 I mean, come on, now, I'm joking because I don't 189 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.360 I really don't care when they play football. But it's 190 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.039 just I thought unusual to see everybody just say, Okay, 191 00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:37.960 here we go, We're gonna do Thursday instead because of 192 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:40.240 how bad it could potentially be. I've never seen a 193 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:42.440 high school football game be called because of rain or 194 00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:45.039 wind now doesn't mean it hadn't happened. It's just, you know, 195 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:49.080 it's not something I've heard of before. But overall, like convenience, 196 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:51.679 I mean, if you, I mean, I'm sure both sides, 197 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:55.039 if you're the visiting team or the home team and 198 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:58.279 you and you knew this weather was on the way 199 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.559 as of Monday or Tuesday, I'm sure both sides would 200 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.159 feel better about playing in better conditions because again, like 201 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:07.559 it would be miserable for everybody. But as you know, 202 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:09.679 now that we've talked through it, I think this generation 203 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:10.600 has gotten soft. 204 00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:12.919 They can't handle Hurricane Helene coming through. 205 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.840 Helene. It's a rare name. You know any Helenes. 206 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:17.879 I don't me either. 207 00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:20.759 In fact, I don't know if I've ever heard that name. 208 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:25.360 Maybe I have, it just never registered. I know a Helen. 209 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:27.399 My Madma is Helen, and she's a sweet lady. 210 00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:29.720 I feel like there's a TV character that's known as 211 00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:33.519 Helene that I'm not you knowing what show she's from 212 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.000 or whatever could be. Who knows. 213 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:38.559 So you know, I John winked at me earlier. He 214 00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:40.240 doesn't want to say it, but he does know. They've 215 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:42.159 called off Louder than life for tomorrow. He just doesn't 216 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:43.720 want to be the guy that he doesn't want to 217 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:45.399 be the guy that has to tell everybody the bad news. 218 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:47.759 Oh yeah, imagine if I was that spokesperson right here, 219 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:48.399 seven ninety. 220 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:50.960 You're more qualified than most man. This is your this 221 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:51.879 is your time to shine. 222 00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:52.200 John. 223 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.279 I don't know, Like, you're not a metal head, are you? 224 00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:57.879 And if you are, that's cool. I'm not your stereotypical 225 00:09:57.919 --> 00:09:59.519 metal head. What's a stereotypical metal like? 226 00:09:59.559 --> 00:09:59.840 I'm not. 227 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.279 I'm not going full throttle as they say, I'm not 228 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:04.399 putting on the makeup. I'm not. I don't really look 229 00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:06.200 the part as they say. But I'll listen to a 230 00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:07.639 lot of that style of music. 231 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.960 Okay, but that's not because like you just don't want 232 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:11.240 to Like, that's just not you, right. 233 00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:12.639 It's just not me. You just during too the music 234 00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:14.639 I came in with, you know, a chain around my 235 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:17.559 neck and maybe some like biker gloves and maybe some 236 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:20.240 some gothic face paint. Today you might think very weird 237 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:20.480 of me. 238 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:23.679 Is it insulting to say that this event, there's a 239 00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:26.080 lot of it that it really kind of is costplay? 240 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.279 Yeah, No, it's not insulting because you. 241 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.039 Know, I don't know. Like sometimes like when you call 242 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.639 somebody a costplay version of something, you're kind of you know, 243 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:36.759 you're kind of saying that they're, you know, dressing up 244 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:37.559 like Halloween or something. 245 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.200 I feel like with any festival, no matter what the 246 00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:43.080 theme of the the music is, I feel like costplay, 247 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:45.480 there's a stacked in age. Yeah, there's It's always part 248 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:45.679 of it. 249 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.320 Nowadays people wear cowboy boots and cowboy hats to see 250 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.480 country music and they would never wear that in any 251 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:53.000 other time in their life. I mean, that's that's I mean, 252 00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:55.840 it's not the same thing, but it's the same thing, right, Yes, 253 00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:57.559 I mean it is. That's that's the way I see it. 254 00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:00.919 So if you are going to uh a lotder than 255 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:02.240 lifet and that, I hope you have a good time, 256 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:04.159 and I hope you stay dry. I thought, look like 257 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:05.480 we were gonna get some rain, but I don't know. 258 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.519 The rain's gonna hold off tonight, but the you know, 259 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:08.919 tomorrow might be a different story. 260 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:12.799 Yeah, I mean, if we get that much rain, I mean, 261 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.000 would that ruin the next two days? 262 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.799 And that that's that's you know, the question. If apparently 263 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:20.960 they've taken care of the grounds to whereas of now, 264 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:24.159 they're not expecting anything like that to happen. But you know, 265 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:25.720 I wouldn't be willing to bet. 266 00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:27.720 How can you take care of the grounds with that much? 267 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:29.240 Like what are you doing to the grounds? I would 268 00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:30.399 love to know what they're I mean, like, I don't 269 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.000 even know how that's possible. It's in the grass, is 270 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:32.159 it not? 271 00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:35.039 They're not gravel. They do have a big gravel set 272 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:36.840 up near the front of the two main stages that 273 00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:39.440 makes a different part behind all the sound systems and 274 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.559 stuff that's all grass, and that could become an issue. 275 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:43.519 Yeah, I mean, I'm just thinking if we get the 276 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.759 rain that they're expecting, you know, for roughly a twenty 277 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:51.679 four hour window of time, like it's gonna be muddy everywhere. 278 00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:55.039 Like if I I feel predicting, I predict they don't 279 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:56.120 have the show tomorrow's. 280 00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:57.879 But they wouldn't just call it off. They would just 281 00:11:57.960 --> 00:11:58.600 do the next day. 282 00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:01.399 Yeah, and then they've done that, Danny Wimmer's done that 283 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.879 at as festivals before. I know how they would handle it, 284 00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:05.519 you know, in terms of like what they would do 285 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:08.080 for those who had day passes, specifically for Friday, maybe 286 00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:10.039 they would grant them a different day. But who knows. 287 00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:12.600 It would be a real punch to the gut for 288 00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:16.600 Danny because they they moved to this place specifically to 289 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:19.879 be better prepared. If than fact, there's a lots yes, 290 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:21.840 and now we've got and this will be the test. 291 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.519 Yeah, and whether you know, we've got the Highland Festival 292 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:26.759 grounds as we keep mentioning if they can hold up 293 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:27.720 to this weather coming through. 294 00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:30.840 I mean Helene has now strengthened to a Category three 295 00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.440 hurricane as it races towards Florida. That's the headline here 296 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:38.279 at WDRB, So I wouldn't be I forgot about the 297 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:40.360 gravel part of it, that there's a I mean, really 298 00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:42.559 the main stage is there more than one main stage 299 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:43.480 the two there's the. 300 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.000 Two dueling main stages that are right next to each other, 301 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:47.720 but then you have the smaller ones in the back. 302 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:48.919 That's where all the grass is. 303 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:52.240 So where the gravel is I feel like, I mean, 304 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:55.960 that makes it to where that makes me feel like 305 00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:58.720 they'll they won't call it off because they have that. 306 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:02.919 I mean, but I don't know, like if winds are crazy, it's. 307 00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:06.720 Like Woodstock ninety nine or and I know that wasn't 308 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:09.039 weather related but you know, that's a whole another story 309 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:09.759 and of itself. 310 00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:12.799 Yeah, that that's a bummer. I hope it's not as 311 00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:15.919 severe as they say around here, but we shall see. 312 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.240 But yeah, it looks I mean, I'm reading here in 313 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:23.039 the this is catastrophic storm surge in southeastern parts of 314 00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:26.000 the United States. So I guess us it's just going 315 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:27.960 to be seeing a lot of wind and rain from 316 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.759 that over these next few days. I mean, South Bend 317 00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.240 is pretty far away, like, that's not southern Indiana by 318 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:35.320 any means. I'm just curious what the conditions will be 319 00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:40.279 in that area. I mean, I don't know what is 320 00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:42.840 it five hours away roughly? Maybe not that not fair. 321 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:43.840 I think you're right on the money. 322 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:47.960 Maybe four something like that. So we got some football tonight, 323 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:51.360 I mean, once again, a very bad slate for Thursday 324 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:54.480 night football. In the college game Army Temple game. I'm 325 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:56.879 not going to Usually I would talk myself into trying 326 00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:58.399 to wager on that. I'm not going to touch that, 327 00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:02.480 and it's tonight. NFL we got the Cowboys and Giants, 328 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:05.639 two big brands in the National Football League historically, but 329 00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:08.679 neither are in great shape right now. Cowboys got off 330 00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:12.000 to a phenomenal start against the Browns, looking like they 331 00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:14.200 you know, in one game. It's not a lot of 332 00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:16.480 data to analyze, but in that one game, after Dak 333 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:19.559 signed and got the big bag, he looked great. And 334 00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:22.240 then since then they've stunk the Giants. I mean, they 335 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.360 were terrible in their first couple of games. I think 336 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:27.720 they ended up winning last week because again, teams who 337 00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:30.000 looked good in the first couple of weeks all lost, 338 00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:34.440 and teams who you know, looked awful found the way 339 00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:37.399 to win like you would get We'll get to this later, 340 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:40.200 because there are some wild numbers from the NFL that 341 00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:41.840 I want to that I want to sprinkle in here 342 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:43.200 and there. I don't want to do a whole segment 343 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:45.720 and go full pointdexter on you and just start, you know, 344 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:50.360 yapping about yapping about stats. But the biggest favorites there 345 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.840 were four teams, the four teams that had the biggest 346 00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:55.559 spreads as far as they were on the winning side 347 00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:59.039 of during this past week week three of the NFL, 348 00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:02.679 all four of them lost outright. Think about that, the 349 00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:08.000 biggest favorites all lost straight up. I mean, I feel 350 00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:12.759 like that's something that may have never happened before. It's not. 351 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:15.240 I mean, I would say if the two biggest favorites, 352 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:17.440 that would be rare, but still not like crazy if 353 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:20.519 you see it happen. But that's that's crazy stuff, it 354 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:25.240 really is. So anyways, uh, you know, I don't know 355 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:26.960 if it's one of the bigger games of the weekend, 356 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.720 you know when I and by the way, with Louisville 357 00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:32.840 Notre Dame, it's been great these last couple of these 358 00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:36.039 last couple of weeks because last week it just felt like, Okay, 359 00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:37.639 we actually have a real game against a real team. 360 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:40.519 There's excitement. Now it's knowing that you have a game 361 00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:42.679 that other people care about, Like it's nice to see 362 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:44.720 for the first time this year as we're a month 363 00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:47.039 end of the season that you know, these people who 364 00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:49.799 cover the sport nationally that are always you know, they're 365 00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:52.080 not going to cover every game extensively as far as 366 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:54.480 what they think is going to happen with analysis, picks, predictions, 367 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:56.799 that kind of stuff, but certainly this one is featured 368 00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:01.440 by just about everybody. And you know, there's some confidence 369 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:04.240 in Louisville that I you know, I'm not surprised by. 370 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:06.360 But again, I just let me see if we got 371 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:09.360 any update here on the line. I haven't seen it 372 00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:10.919 move in the last couple of days. I think it's 373 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:14.480 still Notre Dame minus six, which that's not egregious, that's 374 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:18.120 not insulting. I mean it is Notre Dame at their place, 375 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.639 and I know Northern Illinois beat them, but still that 376 00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:22.679 doesn't mean wins are going to be super easy to 377 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:24.720 come by for anybody. I mean, even when Notre Dame 378 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:26.879 was bad, it wasn't as if they just started losing 379 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:29.399 every game they played at home. But yeah, as of 380 00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:33.519 right now, we're still looking at let's see here, where 381 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:36.320 is it on this big board of games. I can't 382 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:37.759 seem to fund it. They take it off. They must 383 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:39.480 have taken it off because they know Louisvell is gonna win. 384 00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:42.200 It's six and a half. It is Louisville plus six 385 00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:44.279 and a half. So I'm not going to touch it. 386 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.159 But as of yesterday, I'll check later on and see 387 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:50.039 if there's any changes. I doubt that there is. But 388 00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:53.000 as yesterday, anybody who is touching this game in regards 389 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:58.440 to the spread or the money line, more than ninety 390 00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:01.879 percent are all in on the So if you hear 391 00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:05.440 that coach Brom, you got some motivation if you need it. 392 00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:07.240 I don't think he needs it, though I think he's ready. 393 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:08.519 I mean, keep in mind, this is a big deal 394 00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:10.640 for Jeff to go to Notre Dame and take Louisville 395 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:14.000 there because of, you know, his Catholic connection. We talked 396 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:15.759 about it earlier in the week. I mean, he was 397 00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.079 recruited to go to Notre Dame and I'm sure he 398 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:20.359 would have probably gone there had situation not been a 399 00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:22.079 little bit different where they had already signed the number 400 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:24.799 one quarterback in the country, and obviously, you know Oscar 401 00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:28.359
