WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:07.120 It's time for Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on 2 00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:10.359 Sports Talk seven nine day, Holy crap, I don't know 3 00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:12.759 who the hell we think when we are get off 4 00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:14.439 our show. Idiots. 5 00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:17.000 The kids are playing to turn at the countries are. 6 00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:17.600 Screwing it up. 7 00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:20.839 Goal play Inner Murals, Brother, goal play Inner Murals. 8 00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.039 They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not. 9 00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:25.800 Who's the kid here? 10 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:27.679 Who's the kid here? 11 00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:28.559 Are you kidding me? 12 00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:29.519 Now? 13 00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:47.159 Here's Nick Coffee? 14 00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.479 I think exactly one week ago to the second we 15 00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.200 got the week started by making it quite clear that 16 00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.759 this show Coffee and Company, we are leaning into week zero. 17 00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:01.560 We're leading into college football season, actually being here, despite 18 00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.560 none of the local teams playing, and despite week zero 19 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.120 just kind of not really feeling like it is real football. 20 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.439 But here we are a week later and we're weekend, 21 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:13.599 although we're calling it week one. But I think guess 22 00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:15.280 the best way to describe where we are right now 23 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.400 is that game week is here for all the local teams. 24 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:19.439 I'm fired up. We got a lot we believe it 25 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:20.680 or not, we actually have a lot to react to 26 00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:22.640 from week zero. I mean, we're not going to spend 27 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.799 three hours discussing how embarrassing it was for Florida State 28 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:29.560 to travel all the way to Ireland feeling superior to 29 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.000 everybody in the ACC and getting mopped by a team 30 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.959 who you know, maybe that's an exaggeration, but Florida State 31 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.200 never looked like the better team really at any point 32 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.599 in that game, and they lost. In man, it really 33 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:46.319 felt like college football fans across the world were celebrating 34 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.319 and pointing and laughing at Florida State for losing just 35 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.959 because of their arrogance and our do feel they should 36 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:54.840 have been in the playoff in the grand scheme of things. 37 00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:56.359 I think the committee got it right, but it was 38 00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.840 no perfect solution. Like I've made it clear, like nobody 39 00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.359 wanted Florida State in there. But they didn't do anything wrong, right, 40 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:03.319 I mean, just it was one of the very unique 41 00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:06.680 circumstances that kept them out. But the way they felt, 42 00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.319 you know, inferior after that, I mean, people may not 43 00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:14.080 realize this. The lawsuit that they filed against the ACC 44 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:19.599 was like a week after the playoff rankings the final 45 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:21.960 ones were unveiled, and of course they were left out. 46 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.639 So they blamed the ACC for that because they feel 47 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:26.560 as if they're being held back, and then you travel 48 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:29.120 all the way to Ireland and lose. And I think 49 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.000 we all were winners when that happened. John, let me 50 00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:35.800 ask you this, do you think because Florida State cried 51 00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:40.400 so much about missing the playoff? Like, why is everybody 52 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:41.479 taking joy in this? 53 00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.439 Because they feel so entitled that they have the ability 54 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.199 or they think they should have the ability to get 55 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:48.879 out of the grain of rights and be able to 56 00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.680 do whatever they want. And you start off the season, 57 00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.280 you're the You're the Marquee College football game in Week 58 00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.719 zero in Ireland, and I don't want to say you 59 00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:58.800 laid an egg, but oh, you didn't lay. 60 00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:00.439 An egg, and you might have. You showed us that 61 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.039 you're not going to be that good. Now they'll end 62 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:03.800 up getting better. They got talent, They're not going to 63 00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:05.919 be a dud. But what I met more so was 64 00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.639 why did people outside the ACC take such celebration right 65 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.599 because the ACC as a league, I mean clearly they 66 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.560 think they're better than the rest of us, and they 67 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:18.439 feel as if we are beneath them, and they now 68 00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.439 have low I mean they've I mean they didn't get in, 69 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.599 they got embarrassed because of the outcome overall, and just 70 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.120 the way they carry themselves throughout. I mean, but the 71 00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:28.879 game was close and they lost on a last second 72 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:30.280 field goal. But my point is this, like it just 73 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.199 seems as if the entire college football world was laughing 74 00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.599 at Florida State. It felt like that as soon as 75 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.599 the story came out from Bet McMurphy earlier in the summer, 76 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.080 if you remember where he had sources from the Big 77 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.719 Ten and the SEC making it quite clear that there's 78 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.080 not really a big appetite to go add a Florida State. 79 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:48.919 Like I don't know, I just they seem like a 80 00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:51.439 team that nobody likes unless you're a fan of them. 81 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:53.639 And I never would have really thought that, but I 82 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:55.199 think it's kind of played out that way now. There's 83 00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.960 also something to be said about, you know, cheering for 84 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.039 the underdog and Georgia Tech. I mean, they kept the receipts, 85 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.719 they knew that nobody gave them much of a chance 86 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.240 to win that game. I knew they'd be able to compete, 87 00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:10.159 but I will admit this, it didn't hit me until 88 00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:12.919 the day of the game that Georgia Tech actually ended 89 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.879 up having a good year last year and that they 90 00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:20.920 actually you know, were pretty good, and then with Florida State, 91 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:24.720 I just could never understand why anybody thought that dj 92 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.879 I mean, I felt a little insecure sharing this take 93 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:29.560 last week because I know I said it a few 94 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:33.199 times John, and that was why are people acting as 95 00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:37.120 if dj U could just be added in to replace 96 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:40.000 Jordan Travis who we saw what Florida State was without him, 97 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:42.560 and they're just going to be a Okay, they're gonna 98 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.959 be a preseason top ten team. Like this guy played 99 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:48.480 four years of college football in Power of Five conferences 100 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:52.319 and was mid at best. You put him on Florida State, 101 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.079 you ask him to throw the ball further than five yards, 102 00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:56.839 and he's not going to be very good. He's not 103 00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.439 going to be very consistent. It'd be one thing if 104 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:01.519 this was a guy that there was all kinds of 105 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:03.680 hype from the high school level or something. This guy 106 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.879 has shown us for an entire career that he is 107 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:09.240 not that good, and he showed us once again in 108 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.600 his fifth year at Florida State. So you know, we're 109 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:14.560 pointing in laughing at Florida State again. That's not to 110 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.839 say they're going to be terrible this year, but I mean, 111 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.600 they got bullied up front, and they don't have a 112 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:22.360 good quarterback. They certainly have a stable of running backs, 113 00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:26.720 but that Georgia Tech defensive front was was in control 114 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:29.240 there in that matchup between the running game of Florida 115 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.680 State and those guys in the trenches for Georgia Tech. 116 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.879 So anyways, I enjoyed Week zero. I'll admit that it 117 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:36.720 was because I did, in fact have a good start. 118 00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:39.959 And this is this, I mean, I overthink everything in life. 119 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.560 That's one of my biggest, you know issues. I got 120 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:45.759 many issues, but I overthink everything. I'm paranoid. I worry 121 00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.920 about the absolute worst. And because I went four for 122 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.279 four in bets in Week zero, you'd think i'd be, 123 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:54.519 you know, feeling great, like I'm about to have a 124 00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.680 great season of wagering on college football. But to be 125 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.600 honest with you, it's got me thinking, well, you got 126 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:02.040 your wins out of the way, You're not getting any 127 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:03.560 more of the rest of the season, because that's just 128 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:05.399 how I just assume things are going to go for me. 129 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.319 But hey, it was only four games, and uh, you know, 130 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:12.680 only one was really probably watched by a lot of people. 131 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:16.439 Although there was an exciting finish in that Nevada as 132 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:18.199 him you game, which we'll get to that one as well, 133 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.839 but welcome in everybody. It's game week, Coffee and company. 134 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:23.800 We are fueled by Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven 135 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.800 ninety Nick Coffee. That is me the company man. Mister 136 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.199 John Alden is alongside today and he's now a year older. 137 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:31.920 Happy late birthday, buddy. 138 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:33.319 Thank you. I had a good birthday weekend. 139 00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:35.519 Why didn't? I mean? Like this is I felt very 140 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:37.079 I was mad at you on Saturday. 141 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:37.720 You're mad at me. 142 00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:41.160 On Saturday night. I was laying in bed thinking of you. 143 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.040 Not really mad, but like I saw that your wife 144 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:48.000 told you happy birthday on Facebook. Uh huh, wish she 145 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.120 gave you the very I mean it was very romantic, 146 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:52.040 very sweet. What a great wife you have, John, she 147 00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:54.360 I'm sure she gave you a great birthday. She did, 148 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.120 But I'm like, well, why did he tell me it 149 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:57.639 was his birthday? And then I'm thinking, like, you know, 150 00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:59.399 because he's a grown up, he's probably not thinking him. 151 00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.319 I hope everybody knows it's my birthday today. Another example 152 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.800 where you know you are mature beyond your years, because 153 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:06.240 I think a lot of people would have you know, 154 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.800 been all over the place making it quite clear. Hey, 155 00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.639 it's my day today, and John, you didn't do that 156 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:13.800 at all. But me not knowing it was your birthday Saturday, 157 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.000 I felt like a bad friend. But you know, thanks 158 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.639 to Facebook, I now know. Oh that's a thing. Facebook helps. 159 00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:22.279 You know anybody's birthday now absolutely absolutely so happy birthday. 160 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:23.439 What are you? Twenty seven? Now? 161 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.040 Twenty seven official? This feels like the official start of 162 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:27.480 the late twenties, right, So do. 163 00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:29.199 You feel I mean, like if you felt kind of 164 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.360 the same since we've worked together, like kind of because 165 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:33.680 you know, you've been mid twenties, since we haven't worked 166 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:35.279 together that long. We've known each other a while, but 167 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:37.879 we've we've been on the air together for it'll be 168 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:41.160 two years in January, so you know, roughly a year 169 00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.399 and three quarters. And I feel like you've kind of 170 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:46.399 been the same. But there is a difference between twenty 171 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.000 five and twenty seven, like your your thirties aren't that 172 00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:49.839 far away, my man. 173 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:51.639 I know, it is weird to think that now I'm 174 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:54.399 only three years away from that, and it's I mean, 175 00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:56.399 I don't really think about that very often, but maybe 176 00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:57.759 now that I'm on the edge of it, maybe I 177 00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:59.279 will think about it a little more often. 178 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.439 Well, take it, take it in, brother, don't, don't just 179 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:05.160 you know, don't just act like it's going to be 180 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:06.879 there forever, because it won't. And I can tell you 181 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:10.000 late twenties fun time, fun fun time. 182 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:12.480 I remember last year I was. I took my first 183 00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:13.720 ever sick day on my birthday. 184 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.000 Last year. I was actually sick. You or may not 185 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:16.439 remember that. 186 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:18.000 I kind of remember that. Now that you say that, 187 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:19.399 it's a terrible what. 188 00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:21.680 Better something, I'll never forget it. 189 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:25.120 Weird though, Speaking of being sick, I was worried again, 190 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.279 just I worry about everything. I'm going to chalk it 191 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.120 up to allergies because I was outside all day Saturday 192 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:32.679 for the most part. I mean it was hot as hell, 193 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.799 a couple of football games to go to, ended up 194 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.320 being outside with the kids doing stuff. Later in the day, 195 00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:42.919 had a kid's birthday party. I mean, I was doing 196 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.399 you know, dad stuff all weekend, which is you know, 197 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:47.799 now my life, You'll be there before too long, John, 198 00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:49.159 So that's what I'm telling you. Hey, you know, the 199 00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:51.559 dad stuff's great, but you know, take advantage of the 200 00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:52.840 time when you can just do whatever the hell you 201 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:55.080 want to not have to worry about the human beings 202 00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.039 you helped create that you have to take care of 203 00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:59.480 and entertain at all times, and they run your world. 204 00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:02.759 So it had to be allergies because yesterday, you know, 205 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.360 throughout the day, I kept getting an itchy, scratchy throat. 206 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.639 My head felt like it weighed six thousand pounds. I 207 00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:10.879 don't want to get too graphic and gross, but there 208 00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:12.879 was a lot of drainage going on in the back, 209 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.279 and it just I kind of felt like I was 210 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.120 coming down with something. Woke up this morning still kind 211 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.200 of felt the same, and then I don't know, maybe 212 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:23.120 it's because I heard that beautiful voice of one Jeff 213 00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:26.519 Brom talking about the opponent this week because it's game week, 214 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.320 and that just that cured me that that healed whatever 215 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:33.279 I had coming. Jeff Bram he got rid of it, 216 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.840 some witch doctor stuff or something like that. He has 217 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:38.879 healed me. Because I'm feeling like a million bucks here 218 00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:41.159 as we as we get, as we get the show started, 219 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:43.519 So I don't know. Maybe it was also heat exhaustion, 220 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.000 because the heat's back. Brother, it's going to be I 221 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.360 think the hottest week of the year this. 222 00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:47.919 Week it is. 223 00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:49.799 We have a couple of days. I think the highest 224 00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:51.840 ninety eight later in the week, and that is just 225 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:53.000 the absolute worst. 226 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.080 Yeah, you can go to hell with ninety eight. 227 00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:55.720 It will be hell. 228 00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:58.840 Yeah, yeah, exactly, that's what Mother Nature. She's bringing us 229 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.639 hell because that's that that's awful. Nobody wants that, especially 230 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:03.639 now that we got football. And I know the early 231 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:06.919 part of football is always I mean, it's always hot 232 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.919 as hell, usually in late August early September. But I 233 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.279 get the sense, not that I can check the pulse, 234 00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:17.039 you know, of everybody, but I feel like there's there 235 00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:22.759 seems to be more than the usual amount of desire 236 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:25.039 for fall weather. I don't know, I just I can 237 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:28.440 feel it. Maybe it's just me wanting fall weather that badly, 238 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:30.360 but yeah, this week's going to be hot as hell. 239 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:32.279 But you know it's okay because football season's here and 240 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:35.960 that's a nice distraction from you know, the disgusting humidity 241 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:38.360 out there. Yeah, I guess being outside for a good 242 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:40.600 chunk of Saturday. And then I was outside all night 243 00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:43.879 Friday under the lights at CT collins Field watching the 244 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.480 North bull At Eagles get a big victory. Take that 245 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:49.639 Holy Cross, Take that Mark Lieberman stick that in your 246 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:52.240 pipe and smoke at leaves. No, I'm kidding. It was 247 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:54.120 a good game, but North bullet one because that's what 248 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.919 we do. We win, we're winners. So anyways, let's just 249 00:10:58.080 --> 00:10:59.679 we're going to talk about what Jef Brom had to 250 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:01.440 say to and there really wasn't a whole out there. 251 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.600 That's what he does really good. He's really good at 252 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:08.200 saying nothing while talking for you know, twenty minutes. And 253 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:09.879 I don't say that to you know, pick on Jeff, 254 00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:12.559 because that's what coaches do. And he is certainly somebody 255 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:16.480 that's gonna always give you less than maybe most. I mean, 256 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.279 I think he'll be pretty direct, he'll be honest. He's 257 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.919 not up there playing games, but he's all about keeping 258 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:22.000 it close to the vest. 259 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:22.679 As they say. 260 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:24.639 He's not even going to release a depth chart. Did 261 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:26.720 you know that, John, I didn't. Jeff Brohm does not 262 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:29.360 release week one depth charts. He doesn't want anybody to 263 00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:31.519 know truly how the lineups are, how the you know, 264 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:34.080 first second string breaks down. You're too deep until you 265 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:36.039 actually see it out there on the field. That's an 266 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:39.279 old school that's old school gamesmanship right there, from one 267 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.360 Jeff Brohm. So you know, again he talked about a 268 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:43.399 Mary Huggins Bruce. In fact, he didn't at all. He 269 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.399 was asked about it, couldn't talk about it, and that's 270 00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:47.840 to be expected. But he's still here, and you know, 271 00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:50.360 I doubt he came here just to, you know, enjoy 272 00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:52.799 this disgusting humidity. He's here to play football, and I 273 00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:54.399 guess now we still have to just wait and figure 274 00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:56.480 out what needs to be done in order for that 275 00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:59.759 to be possible. I am still willing to tell you 276 00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:02.720 that I don't know how he could be eligible. Doesn't 277 00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:04.519 mean he won't be the hell do I know. I'm 278 00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:07.120 not a compliance expert when it comes to NAA eligibility, 279 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:10.159 But like, I just don't see how the NCAA would 280 00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:11.960 give Louisville the green like to let this guy play. 281 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:15.759 But again, I've been wrong a lot, and I'll be 282 00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:17.120 wrong a lot more the rest of the way. So 283 00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:18.960 maybe I'm wrong about that and there's some loophole that 284 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:21.879 I just don't know about. We'll see. But I have 285 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:24.720 despite Louisville being a thirty six and a half point 286 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.639 favorite against Austin p I do have a handful of 287 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.799 things that I'm hoping to see in the game, and 288 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:34.159 I'll tell you about those are a little bit later on. 289 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:36.360 And again, I hate even laying it out there like 290 00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:39.159 I've got something I'm teasing you about. I mean, i'd 291 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.440 say what you want to see is fairly obvious. But 292 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.759 there was a couple of things Jeff said today that 293 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:45.840 kind of had me thinking, Okay, I'm gonna be looking 294 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.000 for this and that as we get as we get 295 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:52.559 to Saturday, big favorites everybody here locally again, Louisville thirty 296 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:56.320 six and a half point favorites Indiana. Is it still 297 00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:57.240 at twenty one? John? 298 00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:58.600 It more th and a half that I see. 299 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.879 That's its Signette factor. That's what it is. They're gonna 300 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:04.440 give them the hook twenty one and a half. I 301 00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:06.480 like it, I don't. I mean, I probably will do 302 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:08.919 just a straight bet on this because of you, and 303 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:10.639 I love you, and I love the Hoosiers. I want 304 00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:13.600 Indiana football to give you something John this year. Yeah, 305 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.279 so I might just take Signetti minus twenty one and 306 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.320 a half without even doing any research on FIU. 307 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:20.799 If I was taking this game, i'd probably bet the 308 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:23.559 over because I know FIU is supposed to have a 309 00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:26.279 fairly suspect defense, But the Hoosiers may have one as well, 310 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:28.600 so it could be kind of a mini shootout. 311 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.759 To say, Signetti suspect defense. I don't like hearing that. 312 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:32.559 I hope not. But that's just kind of you know, 313 00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:33.679 the early rumor mill. 314 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:35.320 We'll see, we'll see what win tod they play. 315 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:37.440 They are nooner, they're a three thirty right in the 316 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:38.120 postgame show. 317 00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:41.720 How about that we've got We've got Louisville noon. I 318 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:44.480 U three thirty Kentucky. I think it's seven forty five. 319 00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:46.840 And by the way, Kentucky twenty eight and a half 320 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.240 point favorites against Southern Miss. And you never know what 321 00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:52.000 you're gonna give with Southern Miss. Every every now and 322 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:54.120 then they'll be pretty good for you know, Sun Belt 323 00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.399 or Conference USA, whatever league. I think they're actually still 324 00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:58.799 in the Conference USA, but you know, and then there's 325 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:00.799 also a stretch where they are the worst team in 326 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:03.279 the country. And I don't say this stack like you know, Kentucky, 327 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:05.799 although it is rich here in Kentucky. Continue to talk 328 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:08.080 strength to schedule whenever, you know, they don't beat the 329 00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:10.480 good teams, and they actually when they play bad teams, 330 00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:12.759 they play the really really bad teams like Southern Miss 331 00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:15.039 if you go look again, who knows, maybe maybe everyone 332 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:16.799 is going to be wrong about this Southern miss team, 333 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.200 but they're supposed to be ass this year, so you 334 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:23.039 know they are. That's that's why Kentucky's favored by you know, 335 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.799 more than four touchdowns. And I actually I'm not gonna 336 00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:28.440 bet it because gross, but I do like Kentucky to 337 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:29.120 cover in that one. 338 00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:30.080 I do. 339 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:32.720 That's how bad so the Miss is and Kentucky will 340 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:34.840 keep them from scoring maybe any points that it could 341 00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:37.080 be a shutout. I mean that. I mean, I mean 342 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:38.480 maybe they get a field goal or too late in 343 00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:41.080 the game or something like that. But with Kentucky and 344 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:44.360 their offense, it won't mean a whole lot. Again, and 345 00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:46.080 if Louisville scores one hundred points, it won't mean a 346 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:47.840 whole lot because of the competition. So I'm not making 347 00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:49.919 it about the rivalry here, but I would think you 348 00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:53.240 would you want to light up that scoreboard against an 349 00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:55.559 inferior opponent when you've got some You got a new quarterback, 350 00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:57.399 you want him to be comfortable and confident the rest 351 00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:59.120 of the way. You've got a big game next week 352 00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:02.240 against South Carolina that has a big impact on your season, 353 00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:05.519 I believe so in all honesty, that's one of the 354 00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:07.559 bets I like more than any is Kentucky to cover 355 00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:10.720 big there, just because I think, you know, and I 356 00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:12.759 guess they've had games where they are trying to win 357 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:15.519 big and you know, really put it on an opponent 358 00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:17.840 and they end up, you know, doing exactly the opposite. 359 00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:20.919 They trailed EKU at halftime last year, so I guess 360 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:22.720 in games like this they've had the let down. But 361 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:25.240 I don't. I just have a feeling Kentucky's gonna mop 362 00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:29.919 Southern Miss, which they should. And then WKU at Alabama 363 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.320 your alumna, John Or you're you're Alma mater, I should 364 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.360 say you are an alumn But yeah, I got that 365 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:39.360 backwards there thirty one and a half at Bama, Kaylen 366 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:45.320 Debor getting his Alabama era era started with a humongous 367 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.159 spread there against the Hilltoppers. I'm not touching that. That's 368 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:48.799 too many points. 369 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:49.240 Yeah. 370 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:52.320 And WKU, even though they've had different coaches over the years, 371 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.000 they've been known to put up some points as well, 372 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:55.399 and I'm sure it'll be a lot harder to do 373 00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:58.159 against an Alabama team, but it could be another high 374 00:15:58.159 --> 00:15:58.799 scoring affair. 375 00:15:58.840 --> 00:15:59.360 Potentially. 376 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:01.679 Yeah, if I was gonna, if I was gonna do 377 00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:04.360 anything there, it'd probably be the the the over. But 378 00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:06.840 that's a stay away from me. I can tell you that, 379 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:09.759 all right, what I want to do. On the other side, 380 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:11.240 we're gonna get to our first break coming up here 381 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:11.919 in just a few minutes. 382 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:14.200 But there's not a whole. 383 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.360 Lot that any of you probably care about when it 384 00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:20.919 comes to Georgia Tech and Florida State, SMU and Nevada. 385 00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:23.720 But again, it's two sc in fact, three sc ACC 386 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:26.879 teams that played, and Louisville's gonna play two of them. Right, 387 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:28.519 they don't have Florida State on the schedule, but they 388 00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:31.240 have Georgia Tech and they'll play SMU. In fact, those 389 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:33.559 are two. I mean, Georgia Tech is your first real game, right, 390 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:36.159 You've got Austin p this Saturday. Then you're gonna take 391 00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:38.759 on Jacksonville State. Then it's Georgia Tech. And let's be 392 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:42.240 real that game now is there's value there. I mean, 393 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:44.519 they're gonna be Let me look at Georgia Tech's schedule 394 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:46.440 because and I had it pulled up earlier, and I 395 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:48.039 think I remember it, but I don't want to, you know, 396 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:50.600 I don't want to get it wrong here, but there's 397 00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:53.399 no way they lose between now in that game. I mean, 398 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:57.720 they'll play Georgia State, which they should win, and then 399 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:00.240 they'll play Syracuse on the road, which again you should win. 400 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:02.480 And if they lose on the road at Q's a 401 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:04.279
