00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now, here's Nick coffee.

3
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.320
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's do it five o'clock here on a

4
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Tuesday afternoon. Coffee and company fueled by Thornton's here on

5
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:44.359
<v Speaker 2>Sports Talk seven ninety. Right now, if you buy three

6
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:48.600
<v Speaker 2>qualifying pepsi items with your with your Refreshing Awards membership

7
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:53.119
<v Speaker 2>at Thornton's, you can get thirty cents off per gallon

8
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:57.320
<v Speaker 2>on your next phillips. So we're talking again, pepsi qualifying

9
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:01.039
<v Speaker 2>pepsi items. That's Mountain dew pepsi pepsi product, the Celsius

10
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:03.920
<v Speaker 2>energy drinks. So when you buy three of them, don't

11
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:05.480
<v Speaker 2>have to buy them at the same time. But whenever

12
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:09.040
<v Speaker 2>you have purchased three, the next time you use that

13
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:13.079
<v Speaker 2>membership the Thornton's Refreshming Awards membership at the pump, thirty

14
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:15.040
<v Speaker 2>cents off per gallon. So again one of the many

15
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 2>reasons why you should sign up. It's easy to do,

16
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:21.040
<v Speaker 2>it's free, and I can't like prove this. I mean,

17
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:23.120
<v Speaker 2>don't take me to court, but I mean I feel

18
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.200
<v Speaker 2>like your life will just be better if you're walking

19
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:31.040
<v Speaker 2>around as a member of the very very awesome Thornton's

20
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:35.439
<v Speaker 2>Remember Thornton's Refreshing Awards membership program. All Right, been a

21
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:38.359
<v Speaker 2>busy show so far today. Obviously we're talking some basketball.

22
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.159
<v Speaker 2>Is Pat Kelsey and his and his brand new team.

23
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:44.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is all brand new top to bottom,

24
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.280
<v Speaker 2>but clearly you could tell that already they've they've they've

25
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:51.640
<v Speaker 2>got an identity. They they they're gonna they're gonna play

26
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.920
<v Speaker 2>at least try to play every night the way they

27
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:56.879
<v Speaker 2>played last night. Easier said than done, and they may

28
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.560
<v Speaker 2>play some teams that maybe end up being able to

29
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:01.120
<v Speaker 2>do what they want to do a little better than them.

30
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.480
<v Speaker 2>But that was not a surprise on my end, but

31
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.519
<v Speaker 2>it was refreshing to see that you can tell quite

32
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:08.919
<v Speaker 2>a way, Okay, this is who they are, this is

33
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:10.439
<v Speaker 2>what they want to do, this is who they want

34
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 2>to be. And that's one of many things that you know,

35
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 2>you didn't have with the previous era. And I tried

36
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 2>my best to not even really think about it, but

37
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 2>it was impossible for me, and it seems like it

38
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 2>was maybe not impossible, but it was almost human nature

39
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.800
<v Speaker 2>for others to see all the little things that stood

40
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.360
<v Speaker 2>out last night with their performance and even you know

41
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:35.360
<v Speaker 2>what you're seeing on the bench, what you're hearing from

42
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Pat Kelsey after the fact, and you know, it's not

43
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 2>that anybody's going out of their way to like bring

44
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.319
<v Speaker 2>up Kenny Payne and his staff again or try to

45
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:48.360
<v Speaker 2>like go back in time and think about that miserable

46
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:53.680
<v Speaker 2>two year stretch. But you know, you appreciate little things

47
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.080
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more whenever they weren't there. And some

48
00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:58.719
<v Speaker 2>people disagreed with me, and it's fine, But what I

49
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.400
<v Speaker 2>said at the beginning of the show and talking about

50
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:03.159
<v Speaker 2>Louis basketball and just last night the first exhibition game,

51
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:05.599
<v Speaker 2>first chance for fans to see this team in action,

52
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 2>and you know, not a real game, but an exhibition

53
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 2>game at the um Center as we are now less

54
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 2>than two weeks away from getting the actual season started.

55
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.120
<v Speaker 2>It was just great overall. But what I said earlier

56
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:21.199
<v Speaker 2>was coaching changes. For diehard fans, it's like a breakup

57
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.080
<v Speaker 2>or a divorce. The pushback that I got from some

58
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.479
<v Speaker 2>people on our text line was that you know, nobody

59
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.759
<v Speaker 2>would have stayed in a marriage that long, considering how

60
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.000
<v Speaker 2>miserable it was. And you're may be right, but I

61
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 2>bet there are a lot of people listening right now

62
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.759
<v Speaker 2>that might currently be in a marriage or a relationship

63
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:40.919
<v Speaker 2>that they kind of know is not good, but they just,

64
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, they're riding it out seeing if it gets better,

65
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.240
<v Speaker 2>or they just maybe don't want to make the leap

66
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.960
<v Speaker 2>and try to start over with somebody else, or maybe,

67
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:53.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe they're sticking together because of the kids,

68
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 2>something like that. Or maybe there are people who have

69
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:02.360
<v Speaker 2>got a divorce and ended a relationship that they thought

70
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:05.120
<v Speaker 2>was going to be forever, but it didn't come close

71
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.120
<v Speaker 2>to lasting forever. Maybe it didn't even last that long

72
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:09.479
<v Speaker 2>at all, and they're sitting here listening to this and

73
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.719
<v Speaker 2>they're thinking, you know what, man, I should have done

74
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.919
<v Speaker 2>that sooner than I even did. So again, I'm sure

75
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:20.199
<v Speaker 2>it may not be a legitimate comparison to some people,

76
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:24.319
<v Speaker 2>but what I meant by it was that you know,

77
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:28.600
<v Speaker 2>when you are in a relationship and you know it's

78
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:32.759
<v Speaker 2>going bad, and there's countless things that are real red

79
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.279
<v Speaker 2>flags that this thing isn't going to work out and

80
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.000
<v Speaker 2>that you two aren't meant to be together, and then

81
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 2>you end up quickly with somebody else and they're doing

82
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.560
<v Speaker 2>things that you really enjoy, Like there's positives there's things

83
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:51.000
<v Speaker 2>that are very encouraging about a potential long lasting relationship.

84
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:53.839
<v Speaker 2>I just think it's human nature to start looking, Okay,

85
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:55.519
<v Speaker 2>well this guy who I'm no longer with, at this

86
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.639
<v Speaker 2>girl that I'm no longer with. You know, whatever you're into,

87
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:03.079
<v Speaker 2>do your thing, no judgment, but you know, like maybe

88
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:06.399
<v Speaker 2>the exact let me give you an example, if you're

89
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 2>a Kentucky fan, like, there are things that Cal did

90
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:12.240
<v Speaker 2>that probably annoyed the hell out of you. That's the

91
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:17.759
<v Speaker 2>exact opposite of Mark Pope. And like with Kenny, it's

92
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.439
<v Speaker 2>deeper than that because it's not just about like how

93
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:23.800
<v Speaker 2>he acted, what he said, and his lack of you know,

94
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.800
<v Speaker 2>really any accountability, I mean everything. I mean, the results

95
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.879
<v Speaker 2>were terrible. It was an absolute joke. So when you

96
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.360
<v Speaker 2>don't have like multiple years of being single and you

97
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:36.959
<v Speaker 2>go quickly from one relationship to another, because that's how

98
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.759
<v Speaker 2>this works, that's how coaching changes happened, right, I mean,

99
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.199
<v Speaker 2>Louisville had Kenny Paine as their coach. He was effectively

100
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:44.759
<v Speaker 2>fired and within a week we were already in a

101
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.600
<v Speaker 2>new relationship with Pat Kelcey. And you know, he started

102
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.480
<v Speaker 2>saying all the right things from the jump and now

103
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:55.560
<v Speaker 2>here we are. You know, he hasn't coached real game,

104
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.800
<v Speaker 2>but he's put together a roster, They've had an off

105
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:01.279
<v Speaker 2>season event in the Bahamas, he's done countless interviews, He's

106
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.160
<v Speaker 2>done things at every turn to try to get fans

107
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.759
<v Speaker 2>excited and engage with the program. And you know, these

108
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:10.199
<v Speaker 2>are all things that the you know your ex didn't do. Now,

109
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.120
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the day, results are how coaches

110
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.600
<v Speaker 2>are are evaluated, and he's not even in a position

111
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:18.759
<v Speaker 2>right now to have given us any real result that

112
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:20.879
<v Speaker 2>matters because he hasn't coached a real game yet. But

113
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:23.680
<v Speaker 2>as I wanted to kind of not even think about

114
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.120
<v Speaker 2>the last two years, when watching last night and hearing

115
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:29.800
<v Speaker 2>from coach Kelsey after the game, it was impossible not

116
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:37.079
<v Speaker 2>to find myself comparing and clearly realizing that this guy's

117
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:38.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot better than the guy we used to have,

118
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 2>and we all knew that going in. And unfortunately for Kenny,

119
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.839
<v Speaker 2>you could have hired I mean, not I don't know,

120
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.079
<v Speaker 2>like trying not to sound so heavy handed and not

121
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:51.279
<v Speaker 2>sound like I'm going on my way to like pick

122
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.680
<v Speaker 2>on Kenny, but I mean you could have quite literally

123
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.120
<v Speaker 2>hired anybody and felt that you were going to be

124
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.800
<v Speaker 2>in a better position and situation just because of how

125
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.839
<v Speaker 2>early things went. So, you know, last night it was

126
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.319
<v Speaker 2>an exhibition game against a team that will probably never

127
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:08.319
<v Speaker 2>hear from again unless they play them again in an

128
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:13.519
<v Speaker 2>exhibition young Harris, but it was another opportunity for me

129
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.759
<v Speaker 2>to say, so far, so good for Pat Kelsey. Now

130
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:19.040
<v Speaker 2>maybe in a few weeks when they start playing real games,

131
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:21.040
<v Speaker 2>and we know some of their early games are going

132
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:24.040
<v Speaker 2>to be against really, really good teams. I'm sure you

133
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:26.040
<v Speaker 2>know if there is a letdown or maybe a loss

134
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:27.600
<v Speaker 2>that ends up getting out of hand, and I'm not

135
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:29.319
<v Speaker 2>saying it will, but if it does, I know how

136
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.720
<v Speaker 2>this works, there's gonna be some worry. There's gonna be fans,

137
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:34.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, doing what you do as a as a

138
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:38.240
<v Speaker 2>lunatic fan for Louisville hoops. And you know, I don't

139
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.480
<v Speaker 2>say lunatic to be mean and insult you, but like,

140
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.120
<v Speaker 2>we care about this stuff so much. That's you know,

141
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:48.399
<v Speaker 2>so so far, so good. And twenty fourth made three pointers.

142
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:52.879
<v Speaker 2>That was that was more than we've ever you know,

143
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:54.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't care. I mean, how old you are, you've

144
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.000
<v Speaker 2>never watched a Louisville team. Rather be an exhibition game

145
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:00.439
<v Speaker 2>or a real game and seen them make twenty four threes.

146
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:01.480
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know if they're going to do that

147
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.079
<v Speaker 2>every night. Obviously that sounds unrealistic to think that they

148
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:06.600
<v Speaker 2>would be able to get close to that on a

149
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:08.480
<v Speaker 2>nightly basis, But that's what they're going to try to

150
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:11.920
<v Speaker 2>do because that's how this roster was built. That's that's

151
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:14.120
<v Speaker 2>the identity that Pat Kelsey has as a coach. He

152
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:17.360
<v Speaker 2>wants to have guys who can space the floor and

153
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:21.360
<v Speaker 2>create a lot of possessions that lead to you know,

154
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:27.360
<v Speaker 2>a lot of high percentage looks from three. So again

155
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.240
<v Speaker 2>last night score one oh six to fifty nine, and

156
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.600
<v Speaker 2>here in Pat Kelsey after the game was again another

157
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:36.679
<v Speaker 2>reminder that you know you needed a guy like that

158
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:38.960
<v Speaker 2>that would come in here as hungry as he is,

159
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:42.080
<v Speaker 2>that you know is going to show up at five

160
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:45.639
<v Speaker 2>am and is going to again like this sounds a

161
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:47.440
<v Speaker 2>little extreme, and I think you guys know what I

162
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.600
<v Speaker 2>mean when I say it. He is somebody that would

163
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:51.519
<v Speaker 2>have crawled to this job, and he is somebody that

164
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:53.799
<v Speaker 2>will succeed here or he will die trying. I mean,

165
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.159
<v Speaker 2>I hope he doesn't die. Hopefully if it doesn't work out,

166
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:57.759
<v Speaker 2>we just move on and he doesn't have to die.

167
00:08:57.759 --> 00:08:59.320
<v Speaker 2>That wouldn't be ideal. But you know what I mean

168
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.279
<v Speaker 2>when I say that, like he is somebody that is

169
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:05.480
<v Speaker 2>appreciative of Louisville basketball, even though at the time he

170
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.679
<v Speaker 2>inherited it, it's not anywhere close to what we know

171
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:11.879
<v Speaker 2>it can be. And you know, last night's crowd clearly

172
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.639
<v Speaker 2>nothing like what we know the young Ciner can be

173
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:17.679
<v Speaker 2>for big games, especially when things are going well. But

174
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:21.799
<v Speaker 2>even despite it being a smaller crowd, he was very

175
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:24.759
<v Speaker 2>appreciative of that crowd. And I don't think that was

176
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:26.840
<v Speaker 2>just lip service. I don't think that was just him

177
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:28.919
<v Speaker 2>saying what he felt like he was supposed to say

178
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.240
<v Speaker 2>for a crowd that clearly wasn't anywhere close to being

179
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:35.279
<v Speaker 2>a large crowd in the grand scheme of things. He

180
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.840
<v Speaker 2>heard them getting excited, getting off their feet whenever his

181
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.759
<v Speaker 2>team was draining threes, would they make five of their

182
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:43.879
<v Speaker 2>first six or something like that led to a quick

183
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.159
<v Speaker 2>timeout for young Harris at some point in the first half,

184
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:48.720
<v Speaker 2>and you know, the place was rocking. So this is

185
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.120
<v Speaker 2>all part of the healing process. And you know, last

186
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:57.200
<v Speaker 2>night it was awesome, to say the least, and one

187
00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:59.679
<v Speaker 2>of the things we heard quite a bit from the

188
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:03.000
<v Speaker 2>pre his head coach Kitty Payne, was about how things

189
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.279
<v Speaker 2>were broken and how you know culture, I mean, just

190
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.759
<v Speaker 2>a lot of filler words that really you know, again,

191
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:13.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to go down that path, but like

192
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.919
<v Speaker 2>there were things that were said that like didn't even

193
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:18.679
<v Speaker 2>make any sense. And I don't mean, like, you know,

194
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:21.519
<v Speaker 2>as far as him explaining basketball, but like he would

195
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:23.919
<v Speaker 2>talk about it like bringing broken. He would say that

196
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:25.799
<v Speaker 2>it was broken whenever he got here, and like, no,

197
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.960
<v Speaker 2>like last year, there was nobody on the team for

198
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:32.240
<v Speaker 2>the most part, that had played for anybody other than

199
00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:35.279
<v Speaker 2>Kenny Payne here at Louisville. So like, if it was broken,

200
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:38.200
<v Speaker 2>then what is it now Whenever you leave two years

201
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:41.440
<v Speaker 2>later and it's in significantly worse shape than it was

202
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:44.879
<v Speaker 2>when you arrived and you claimed it was broken. Like

203
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Pat Kelsey inherited this job at a worse time than

204
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:51.559
<v Speaker 2>anybody ever has. But you'd never know it by listening

205
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:54.360
<v Speaker 2>to him. You'd never know it by watching him coach

206
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.840
<v Speaker 2>this group and watching him out in the community engaging

207
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.840
<v Speaker 2>with people, trying to get people excited about louis basketball again.

208
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.759
<v Speaker 2>And to me, what's really been kind of of just

209
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.120
<v Speaker 2>an It's just it stood out in a major way.

210
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.159
<v Speaker 2>Is that Like that's really the bare minimum, Like that's

211
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:12.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of the expectation, that's kind of what you're just

212
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:14.799
<v Speaker 2>supposed to do. Like those are things that are just

213
00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:16.679
<v Speaker 2>a given, and yet you have to go out and

214
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:19.039
<v Speaker 2>it's not easy. You got to win at a high

215
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:22.399
<v Speaker 2>level at Louisville because that's that's the expectation, that's the job.

216
00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:25.360
<v Speaker 2>But like all these things Pat's doing is probably just

217
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:27.639
<v Speaker 2>things he realized, Okay automatically, I know I got to

218
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:29.600
<v Speaker 2>do that. Like that that's something I can control. That's

219
00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:33.200
<v Speaker 2>something that really doesn't take you know, a real talent. Now,

220
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:35.480
<v Speaker 2>I think you can be better at it than others.

221
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.279
<v Speaker 2>And clearly he's good at that kind of stuff. He

222
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.679
<v Speaker 2>shines when he's got a chance to get in front

223
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.399
<v Speaker 2>of a microphone or a camera and sell himself, sell

224
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:44.720
<v Speaker 2>his philosophy, sell his brand, all that kind of stuff.

225
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:48.000
<v Speaker 2>So clearly others are better at it, you know, than some.

226
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:50.519
<v Speaker 1>But like.

227
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:53.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe it because I just can't let my

228
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:56.039
<v Speaker 2>mind go there. It's just not my nature. But like

229
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.200
<v Speaker 2>you could make the case. The more I watch Pat

230
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.360
<v Speaker 2>Kelsey and how he handles himself. And again it's not

231
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.080
<v Speaker 2>even about winning, Like maybe he doesn't win and we

232
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.240
<v Speaker 2>got to have a conversation. That's that's difficult. In a

233
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.120
<v Speaker 2>couple of years, I don't know. Only time will tell,

234
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:10.679
<v Speaker 2>But like I don't know if Kenny wanted to win.

235
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if Kenny wanted to like wanted it

236
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.039
<v Speaker 2>to work out. I'll never believe that, like he was

237
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:20.360
<v Speaker 2>sent here to tear us down by cali Peri, who

238
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.720
<v Speaker 2>he's now working for again, because that's just like I

239
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:25.919
<v Speaker 2>can't I can't believe that that would ever happen, and

240
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:29.720
<v Speaker 2>I genuinely don't believe it. But man, there's evidence and

241
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:32.720
<v Speaker 2>results that could convince somebody that is even a little

242
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:38.039
<v Speaker 2>bit prone to believe in conspiracy theories, like at every level,

243
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:41.159
<v Speaker 2>Like it was a complete mess and it's over and

244
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:42.720
<v Speaker 2>that's good. But I wanted to give a one one

245
00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:45.120
<v Speaker 2>more quick shout out to I'm not sure who put

246
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:46.919
<v Speaker 2>this together, but it was on the State of Louisville

247
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Twitter account. They they put they put together an edit

248
00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:55.559
<v Speaker 2>with different clips of the previous coach and clips of

249
00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:59.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, the current coach, and this is just like,

250
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:04.919
<v Speaker 2>you know, hearing this it's about a minute in fifteen seconds.

251
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:07.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean hearing things that were that were said repeatedly

252
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:11.679
<v Speaker 2>that we're all just nonsense, just excuses that we're not legit,

253
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:14.360
<v Speaker 2>and it was just it was it was embarrassing. And

254
00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:17.039
<v Speaker 2>then to hear a guy who you know, no matter

255
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:18.639
<v Speaker 2>what happens, Look, we may lose a lot of games

256
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:20.360
<v Speaker 2>this year. I have no clue, none of us really know,

257
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:23.720
<v Speaker 2>but it's nice to know that there won't be any

258
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.360
<v Speaker 2>any of you know, it was broken kind of stuff

259
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:28.279
<v Speaker 2>because at the end of the day, I mean, like

260
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.600
<v Speaker 2>I think Kenny came here feeling like a victim for

261
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:33.840
<v Speaker 2>being here, which I mean, if that was how you

262
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:36.519
<v Speaker 2>viewed it, man, how the hell did you end up

263
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:39.000
<v Speaker 2>hiring him? But again, those are those any Now I'm

264
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.399
<v Speaker 2>just now, I'm just you know, jumping all over the place,

265
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:43.840
<v Speaker 2>going back to that dark place. But we'll play this

266
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:45.039
<v Speaker 2>and then we'll move on because there's a lot of

267
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:46.519
<v Speaker 2>other things I want to get into before we run

268
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:48.440
<v Speaker 2>out of time today. But again, shout out to the

269
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:51.399
<v Speaker 2>State of Louisville Twitter account who who put this edit

270
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:53.759
<v Speaker 2>together that I think really puts things in perspective as

271
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:56.639
<v Speaker 2>to where we were and where where we are right now.

272
00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:59.360
<v Speaker 2>As far as leadership with this basketball program.

273
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:04.679
<v Speaker 3>I heard it was broken, and I really appreciate the

274
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:06.919
<v Speaker 3>guys here at the Young Center that busted their tail

275
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:08.600
<v Speaker 3>to try to get the water right in the locker.

276
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:12.639
<v Speaker 4>Room more than I could ever tell you it was broken.

277
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.759
<v Speaker 3>They operate with excellence, as does our administration. It wasn't

278
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:22.519
<v Speaker 3>just basketball. It was broken beyond broken the awesome. You know.

279
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:24.679
<v Speaker 3>I think the crowd really really appreciated how we were playing.

280
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:27.039
<v Speaker 3>Guys were playing hardest. Heck, they're sharing the ball or

281
00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:30.519
<v Speaker 3>banging shots. It was exciting. They brought the fight. We didn't.

282
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:32.720
<v Speaker 3>I can just tell you we didn't come to a fight.

283
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:35.840
<v Speaker 3>It was a fight, and it was the first time

284
00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:38.159
<v Speaker 3>I heard the young roar what do they call it

285
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:42.600
<v Speaker 3>in augusta National the Tiger roar, the young roar, I'm

286
00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:45.559
<v Speaker 3>down for it. We didn't have the tyst that he wanted,

287
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.960
<v Speaker 3>so he didn't know if he wanted to play. I loved,

288
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:51.559
<v Speaker 3>loved those two walk ons at the end of the

289
00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:54.039
<v Speaker 3>game putting their teeth on that loose ball over there

290
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:56.360
<v Speaker 3>in the corner, and our bench just went nuts. That

291
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:01.759
<v Speaker 3>speaks to culture. That's what young people so number thirty

292
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:03.759
<v Speaker 3>five had one hundred and eighty seven free throws last year,

293
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:06.960
<v Speaker 3>Number twenty at one hundred and sixty one, and number

294
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:10.039
<v Speaker 3>twelve had one hundred and seventy. Like that's off the charts.

295
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:14.679
<v Speaker 2>That last part there is is actually hilarious because it

296
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.759
<v Speaker 2>that's Pat Kelsey mentioning the amount of total free throws

297
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.360
<v Speaker 2>that three players for a Young Harris shot last year,

298
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:24.559
<v Speaker 2>and he's just that's just he's ripping that off the

299
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:27.000
<v Speaker 2>top of his head because that's how much of a

300
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.960
<v Speaker 2>deep dive he did into young Harris, because that's just

301
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:33.879
<v Speaker 2>how he's wired. He's a basketball sicko, and that's that's

302
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.480
<v Speaker 2>what we need around here. I think, you know, you

303
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:40.279
<v Speaker 2>could you cannot be a basketball sicco and if you

304
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:42.240
<v Speaker 2>went at a high level, everything's gonna be okay. But

305
00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:46.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, again, he's somebody that is either going to

306
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.320
<v Speaker 2>succeed here or he's gonna you know, I shouldn't say

307
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:53.200
<v Speaker 2>die trying because like I don't, I don't. It kind

308
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:54.840
<v Speaker 2>of sounds like I'm saying, well, he better winter, he's

309
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:56.120
<v Speaker 2>gonna die, and that's not what I mean. I don't

310
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.039
<v Speaker 2>want anybody to die. But I think, you know, you know,

311
00:15:58.039 --> 00:15:59.559
<v Speaker 2>as far as figure of speech, you guys know what

312
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:03.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, because clearly he doesn't take much time off.

313
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:05.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know if he sleeps. I mean,

314
00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:09.600
<v Speaker 2>he's at the UMP Center yesterday at five am, which

315
00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:11.120
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people start their day early, but like,

316
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:13.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, he never left. He's just in. They're ready

317
00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:16.600
<v Speaker 2>for battle to take on Young Harris in an exhibition game,

318
00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:19.320
<v Speaker 2>which some would say might be overkilled, but hey, you know,

319
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:22.360
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna make sure he's ready to go. And I

320
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:24.360
<v Speaker 2>didn't really you know, a lot of things we learned

321
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:27.159
<v Speaker 2>about the last few years as far as us as

322
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:31.320
<v Speaker 2>a fan base and just you know, you learn a

323
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:33.759
<v Speaker 2>lot throughout that kind of stuff that kind of you know,

324
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:42.720
<v Speaker 2>depressing situation. But hearing somebody, you know, I guess they're

325
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:45.360
<v Speaker 2>not like Pat Kelsey when he talks about the program

326
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.240
<v Speaker 2>and whatnot, Like he's not complimenting us as fans, but

327
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:51.480
<v Speaker 2>like he's complimenting the program something that we love more

328
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:53.879
<v Speaker 2>than anybody because we are, you know, we're the fans

329
00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:57.360
<v Speaker 2>of the program. And you know, hearing that, I mean,

330
00:16:57.399 --> 00:16:59.519
<v Speaker 2>maybe that'll get stale after a while, but man, it

331
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.600
<v Speaker 2>hasn't yet because we had people succeed you know, failing

332
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:06.240
<v Speaker 2>to succeed at any level, I mean, just complete utter.

333
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:12.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was a mockery. And yet instead of

334
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:15.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, knowing that it needs to get better, we

335
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:17.119
<v Speaker 2>were kind of told reasons why it can't be better

336
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:19.680
<v Speaker 2>because of broke things being broken and a culture this

337
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:22.279
<v Speaker 2>and that, all that nonsense. But hey, it's over. This

338
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:24.640
<v Speaker 2>is part of the cleansing process, and you know now

339
00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:28.400
<v Speaker 2>we're here, pack El Sierra is here. Kind of I

340
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:31.359
<v Speaker 2>mean again, not a real game, but last night that

341
00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:35.680
<v Speaker 2>certainly felt felt awesome. All right, Louisville in Action on

342
00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Friday night, taken on Boston College and doing remind you

343
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:40.160
<v Speaker 2>we are going to have the postgame show and the

344
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:42.680
<v Speaker 2>pregame show. We'll go live from three to six here

345
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:44.599
<v Speaker 2>and then pregame show will start at six thirty, taking

346
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:47.319
<v Speaker 2>you up until seven thirty, which will be kickoff, and

347
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:50.799
<v Speaker 2>we will be live also doing the show on Friday

348
00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:53.400
<v Speaker 2>from three to six at the offices of Alex R.

349
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:56.279
<v Speaker 2>White Lawyers to Distracted Driver dot com. They've been big

350
00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.960
<v Speaker 2>partners of ours here for the football season doing the

351
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.279
<v Speaker 2>sponsoring the postgame show. So looking forward to being on

352
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:05.920
<v Speaker 2>location there, taking coffee and company on a little road

353
00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:07.920
<v Speaker 2>trip should be a lot of fun. And then again,

354
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.599
<v Speaker 2>as soon as the game ends, we'll go live right

355
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:15.000
<v Speaker 2>here reacting to whatever it is. I think Louisville is

356
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:17.759
<v Speaker 2>a better team than Boston College. I expect that they'll

357
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:20.000
<v Speaker 2>win because I can look at the three games they've

358
00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:22.400
<v Speaker 2>lost and who those teams were and still realize this

359
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:24.039
<v Speaker 2>is a team that's got to clean some things up,

360
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:26.279
<v Speaker 2>and if they don't play well, they can lose to anybody.

361
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:29.000
<v Speaker 2>But I think saying that I expect them to win

362
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.200
<v Speaker 2>is not in any way me being you know, just

363
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:34.799
<v Speaker 2>a homer who thinks my team won't lose because I

364
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:38.759
<v Speaker 2>love them. You know, there if they come out and

365
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:41.920
<v Speaker 2>they make a bunch of big mistakes, then you know,

366
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:43.839
<v Speaker 2>that's a recipe for a disaster on the road against

367
00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:45.960
<v Speaker 2>a Boston College team that also needs to win in

368
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:47.960
<v Speaker 2>a major way. They're coming off back to back losses

369
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.920
<v Speaker 2>against Virginia and Virginia Tech, so I'm sure Boston College

370
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:54.720
<v Speaker 2>is viewing this as a chance for them to get

371
00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:57.720
<v Speaker 2>right because Louisville being four and three, even though the

372
00:18:57.720 --> 00:18:59.799
<v Speaker 2>teams that's beat Louisville at this point are pretty good.

373
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.559
<v Speaker 2>And that's I mean, you are what your record is.

374
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:05.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm sure they're not looking at who beat

375
00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Louisville and saying, oh, we should be scared, because you know,

376
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:09.440
<v Speaker 2>the teams that beat them are really, really good. No,

377
00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:11.200
<v Speaker 2>they're looking at Louisville as a team they can go

378
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:13.680
<v Speaker 2>knock off and you know, send their season in a

379
00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:16.680
<v Speaker 2>positive direction after a good start and then back to

380
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:20.599
<v Speaker 2>back losses where I believe they were certainly not favored

381
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:23.720
<v Speaker 2>against Virginia Tech. But you know, I know they were

382
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:26.000
<v Speaker 2>against Virginia and they and you know they lost that

383
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:30.039
<v Speaker 2>game by I believe a couple of scores. So I

384
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:32.680
<v Speaker 2>hate that we're in this position where the game is

385
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:34.839
<v Speaker 2>one that you don't have a whole lot to gain

386
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:37.359
<v Speaker 2>by winning. And what I mean by that is like,

387
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:40.039
<v Speaker 2>it's really just what you're supposed to do. It's not

388
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:42.720
<v Speaker 2>as if you went out there and proved something to anybody.

389
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:45.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, a conference win has value, and hey, five

390
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:47.559
<v Speaker 2>and three is a lot better than four and four,

391
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:50.480
<v Speaker 2>so I guess that's that's the value. But really, you

392
00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:52.240
<v Speaker 2>have a lot more to lose here than gain. And

393
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:53.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't think they're going to lose, but

394
00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:56.359
<v Speaker 2>if they do, then we have to have a conversation

395
00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.519
<v Speaker 2>that we haven't had yet. Despite the season being underwhelming

396
00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:02.880
<v Speaker 2>at this point, we've yet to have a postgame show

397
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:06.200
<v Speaker 2>or react to a game where it's a loss that's like,

398
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:09.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, not inexcusable, but to a team that you

399
00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:13.599
<v Speaker 2>can't really make the claim is very good and losing

400
00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:15.920
<v Speaker 2>the good teams doesn't make you good. It makes you losers.

401
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:18.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's by definition what you did. But you

402
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:21.880
<v Speaker 2>can at least deal with losses to ranked teams and

403
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:24.720
<v Speaker 2>still feel frustrated about it, especially knowing you were close,

404
00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:26.240
<v Speaker 2>you had a chance to win and you couldn't get

405
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:28.759
<v Speaker 2>it done like that actually is what makes it more frustrating.

406
00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:30.400
<v Speaker 2>But it's not as if you've had to, you know,

407
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:32.640
<v Speaker 2>look around and think, how the hell do we lose

408
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:36.000
<v Speaker 2>to them? I think Boston College might be that kind

409
00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:37.920
<v Speaker 2>of team if you don't get it done. So here's

410
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:40.920
<v Speaker 2>to hoping that they do exactly that they get it done.

411
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:44.119
<v Speaker 2>All right, quick break, we'll come back on the other side.

412
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:46.599
<v Speaker 2>I want to take a look at what Yahoo Sports

413
00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:51.400
<v Speaker 2>put together a rundown of all the remaining undefeated teams

414
00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:54.480
<v Speaker 2>left in college football, because I think of all, I mean,

415
00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:56.480
<v Speaker 2>I could be wrong here, but I think of all

416
00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:58.920
<v Speaker 2>the teams that are currently undefeated, not a one of them,

417
00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:02.200
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion, as of now, what I say is

418
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:07.039
<v Speaker 2>realistically a national championship contender. I mean, that's just a guess.

419
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:09.440
<v Speaker 2>We'll see, but we'll take a look at that, and

420
00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:11.519
<v Speaker 2>I keep this thing rolling along again. It's coffee and Company.

421
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:13.599
<v Speaker 2>Fuel about Thorton's right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

422
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:19.680
<v Speaker 2>We got about thirty minutes left here on a Tuesday afternoon.

423
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:21.720
<v Speaker 2>It is coffee and company, and we are fueled by

424
00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:24.119
<v Speaker 2>Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety Nit Coffee the

425
00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:27.279
<v Speaker 2>company man, mister John all On alongside you produced KSR

426
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:29.799
<v Speaker 2>this morning. Did they confirm or was it just like

427
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.200
<v Speaker 2>something somebody put up on Twitter about Mark Pope running

428
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:34.839
<v Speaker 2>out of gas? Like did that really happen?

429
00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:36.920
<v Speaker 4>I don't know that they confirmed it, but they did

430
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:39.400
<v Speaker 4>talk extensively about it in the first hour.

431
00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:41.920
<v Speaker 2>So I'm seeing a tweet here, and I know it

432
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.559
<v Speaker 2>came up at some point on KSR, which, again, as

433
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:47.920
<v Speaker 2>they say, facts are optional, so that doesn't necessarily mean

434
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:51.079
<v Speaker 2>that it did in fact happen. But there was a

435
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:54.559
<v Speaker 2>tweet that says just dro Bi Alexton Metro helping someone

436
00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:56.359
<v Speaker 2>who ran out of gas in the middle of Broadway

437
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.359
<v Speaker 2>and had traffic merged to one lane. It was a

438
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:04.960
<v Speaker 2>coach Mark Pope. So you know that being on Twitter

439
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:09.359
<v Speaker 2>doesn't make it real, but for it to make Kentucky

440
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Sports Radio dot com, I mean, most people are going

441
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:14.079
<v Speaker 2>to believe that it is in fact legit and he

442
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:16.759
<v Speaker 2>ran out of gas. Have you ever run out of gas?

443
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:20.119
<v Speaker 4>No, I'm usually pretty prompt whenever I, you know, see

444
00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:21.039
<v Speaker 4>the light come on you.

445
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:23.559
<v Speaker 2>Of all people that I know, like if I'm thinking

446
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:29.319
<v Speaker 2>about Okay, my friend's family, colleagues, uh, of of that

447
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:32.599
<v Speaker 2>group of people, and it's a pretty big group the

448
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:35.720
<v Speaker 2>one that I would expect to run out of gas.

449
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:39.119
<v Speaker 2>Your last on the list. I believe because you're prepared.

450
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:42.200
<v Speaker 2>You're prepared. I mean, look, you've you've helped me, right,

451
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:44.559
<v Speaker 2>I put in GPS every day before I leave my

452
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:47.119
<v Speaker 2>house to come to work. I know where I'm going,

453
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:49.720
<v Speaker 2>but it'll give me a heads up on traffic, Like

454
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:52.039
<v Speaker 2>I would never even have thought of that. But you are,

455
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:55.400
<v Speaker 2>You're always prepared, and you know, running out of gas

456
00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:59.920
<v Speaker 2>is by definition being unprepared or you know, like I

457
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:02.920
<v Speaker 2>I think there's some people that probably I don't know.

458
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:04.680
<v Speaker 2>I could be wrong here, and I'm just thinking out loud.

459
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:07.160
<v Speaker 2>I've ran out of gas one time, and I'll and

460
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:10.200
<v Speaker 2>I've never you know, I mean, I'm embarrassed, but I

461
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:12.240
<v Speaker 2>was really embarrassed by it because I thought like something

462
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:14.400
<v Speaker 2>was wrong with my car because my light came on

463
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:20.480
<v Speaker 2>and I'd never at that point been somebody that really like, actually,

464
00:23:20.519 --> 00:23:22.000
<v Speaker 2>let me ask you this. How often has your light

465
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:22.319
<v Speaker 2>come on?

466
00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:24.920
<v Speaker 4>I mean it frequently?

467
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:27.759
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so it's not like, you know, like you as

468
00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:29.319
<v Speaker 2>soon as you see the light, didn't you get gased?

469
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Right?

470
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:30.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's the reminder.

471
00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:32.960
<v Speaker 2>That's what I do too. But there's some there's some

472
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:36.519
<v Speaker 2>times where I'm like, Okay, I know I've got you know,

473
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:39.839
<v Speaker 2>thirty miles forty miles when the light comes on, I

474
00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:41.599
<v Speaker 2>can't think of which one it is. It's something like that,

475
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:44.000
<v Speaker 2>you're in the right track. Yeah, And then I can

476
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:46.920
<v Speaker 2>hit this little button on my car that you know,

477
00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:50.200
<v Speaker 2>shows me like and I'm sure it's not exactly the

478
00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:53.240
<v Speaker 2>amount of miles I have until I'm on E, but

479
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:56.240
<v Speaker 2>it'll go down to like fifteen in that that gets

480
00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:58.279
<v Speaker 2>really scary. I think I've only looked at that. I've

481
00:23:58.279 --> 00:23:59.920
<v Speaker 2>only seen that once. I'm sure it's happened.

482
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:00.279
<v Speaker 1>Four.

483
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:02.279
<v Speaker 2>But if I if I've had if I've had my

484
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:05.200
<v Speaker 2>light on, and I've made a couple of trips that

485
00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:07.400
<v Speaker 2>are relatively close to you know, my house and maybe

486
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:09.880
<v Speaker 2>a few miles away, like that's as far as I've gone.

487
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Is like risking it. But if I look at the

488
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:15.480
<v Speaker 2>thing and it's below like thirty, which is rare, then

489
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:18.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll make sure I go and fill up. I mean,

490
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:22.400
<v Speaker 2>I know people who run out of gas like multiple times,

491
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:26.759
<v Speaker 2>and it's not because they are like that poor, Like

492
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:28.480
<v Speaker 2>it's not as if they have no money. It's not

493
00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:32.079
<v Speaker 2>as if they like they just procrastinate, I think, or

494
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:34.960
<v Speaker 2>just don't pay attention, Like I just don't get how

495
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:36.359
<v Speaker 2>you get. I don't either know I'm with you, like

496
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:39.359
<v Speaker 2>because I like being stranded or having that happen is

497
00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:42.240
<v Speaker 2>like a scary, scary scary thing for me.

498
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:44.039
<v Speaker 4>Like as close as I came to running out, we

499
00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:47.119
<v Speaker 4>were coming back from Saint Louis to here in Louisville,

500
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:49.359
<v Speaker 4>and on whatever interest I gets, it's.

501
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Sixty to sixty four. Man, you hit some stretches on

502
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:53.400
<v Speaker 2>that drive that I know exactly what you're talking about.

503
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:55.079
<v Speaker 4>It I'm on and I was like, okay, I'll just

504
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:57.400
<v Speaker 4>go the next exit. Well, the next exit didn't have

505
00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:59.079
<v Speaker 4>a gas station, at least the one that you couldn't see.

506
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:00.680
<v Speaker 4>So I go to the one after that, and we

507
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:02.519
<v Speaker 4>just kept going. I was like, okay, I've really got

508
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:04.880
<v Speaker 4>to find something because I didn't know there was gonna

509
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:07.599
<v Speaker 4>be that long of a stretch without you know, humanity nearby.

510
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I and I've always been fearful of that and

511
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:12.799
<v Speaker 2>I and luckily I've never had any It wasn't like

512
00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:14.400
<v Speaker 2>I had, you know, it wasn't like I got scared

513
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:20.119
<v Speaker 2>straight to where I you know, I learned the hard way. Hey,

514
00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:22.200
<v Speaker 2>you better make sure when you're when you know you're low,

515
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:24.920
<v Speaker 2>check and see how far you are from a gas station,

516
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:26.880
<v Speaker 2>because if not, you better find one quick. Like I

517
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:29.599
<v Speaker 2>never had. I've never learned the hard way, but it's

518
00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:31.519
<v Speaker 2>always just been something I've been fearful of of, like

519
00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:34.880
<v Speaker 2>being stranded at any point. When I ran out of gas,

520
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:37.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was really embarrassing, and it was it

521
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:40.000
<v Speaker 2>was one of those things where I knew that I

522
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:42.839
<v Speaker 2>had to And actually it's more embarrassing the more I

523
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:46.039
<v Speaker 2>think about it and talk about it. But my gas

524
00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:50.640
<v Speaker 2>light came on the day before and I completely forgot

525
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:53.279
<v Speaker 2>about it, and then I went home. I got up

526
00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:54.960
<v Speaker 2>the next day, and at this point, I think I

527
00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:57.640
<v Speaker 2>was on mid days and I was taking my daughter,

528
00:25:57.640 --> 00:25:59.240
<v Speaker 2>who was a little bitty kid. I mean, she wasn't

529
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:02.960
<v Speaker 2>a baby, but she was like between being a you know,

530
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:05.240
<v Speaker 2>a baby and a toddler. I guess, if that's the thing.

531
00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:07.880
<v Speaker 2>She was probably like two years old, maybe three years old,

532
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:10.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. But when I got up the next morning,

533
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:13.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, I never even thought because in that car

534
00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:15.799
<v Speaker 2>that I drove at that time, it wouldn't it wouldn't

535
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.119
<v Speaker 2>alert me that the light was on a second time.

536
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:20.920
<v Speaker 2>It would just be on. Like now, anytime I start

537
00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:23.359
<v Speaker 2>my car and the light and I'm low on gas,

538
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:25.960
<v Speaker 2>I get prompted again, like anytime I turned the car

539
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:28.720
<v Speaker 2>and I'm prompted. You know, I wasn't prompted in the

540
00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:30.319
<v Speaker 2>old vehicle. I just had to be looking at the

541
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:32.200
<v Speaker 2>light and to see if it was on, which I

542
00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:33.720
<v Speaker 2>should have known. It's just me being a dumb ass.

543
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:36.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm not making excuses for it, but I couldn't remember

544
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:38.680
<v Speaker 2>that morning when I saw that the light was on,

545
00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:40.880
<v Speaker 2>if it came on like at the beginning of the day,

546
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:42.799
<v Speaker 2>the day before, if it was like last night, like

547
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:44.720
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't remember, and I'm like, all right, I got

548
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:48.160
<v Speaker 2>to get my daughter to daycare in time. So sure enough,

549
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:51.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm driving and I'm I'm I'm coming down a hill

550
00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:54.680
<v Speaker 2>on zone and road and it you know, and I thought, well,

551
00:26:54.839 --> 00:26:56.839
<v Speaker 2>there's no way it got that low. There's no way

552
00:26:56.880 --> 00:26:59.200
<v Speaker 2>that my car died because I ran out of gas.

553
00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:02.000
<v Speaker 2>And sure enough, that's what it was. It wasn't car

554
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:05.880
<v Speaker 2>trouble I had. I had to have my my wife's

555
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:09.000
<v Speaker 2>grandparents come and you know, pull off the side of

556
00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:11.440
<v Speaker 2>the road and let me hand my young child to

557
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:14.039
<v Speaker 2>them so they could take her. And I'm waiting for

558
00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:16.359
<v Speaker 2>my stepdad to get there, and he comes and bails

559
00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:18.559
<v Speaker 2>me out and puts gas in the car and we're

560
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:20.119
<v Speaker 2>good to go. And it was really embarrassing. But I

561
00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:22.359
<v Speaker 2>think I was I was in denial that I would

562
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:24.559
<v Speaker 2>that I would run out of gas in that way

563
00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:26.400
<v Speaker 2>that I'm like, well, I was low on gas, but

564
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:28.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure it's like gotta Maybe I don't know, Maybe

565
00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:30.720
<v Speaker 2>it's the probably made up a part of a car

566
00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:34.000
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't exist. Maybe it's my something shaft and no,

567
00:27:34.119 --> 00:27:36.200
<v Speaker 2>it was just me being a dumbass and running out

568
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:39.680
<v Speaker 2>of gas. And I'm sure you know it'll probably happen

569
00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:42.440
<v Speaker 2>again to me at some point in life. But since then,

570
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:45.519
<v Speaker 2>I've been pretty mindful of making sure, like, don't risk

571
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:48.319
<v Speaker 2>it because it's you know, being stranded would be bad.

572
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:50.359
<v Speaker 2>But what's that say about somebody who runs out of gas?

573
00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:53.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, again, I've done it, but I know people

574
00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:55.240
<v Speaker 2>who've done it multiple times, and I'm just thinking, like, man,

575
00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:57.640
<v Speaker 2>you must like you must live on the edge, like

576
00:27:57.680 --> 00:27:59.880
<v Speaker 2>you must really get off driving around, knowing at any moment

577
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:03.000
<v Speaker 2>car may just stop running because you completely, you know,

578
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:06.960
<v Speaker 2>your bone dry. But anyways, apparently it happened to Mark

579
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:09.799
<v Speaker 2>Pope this morning, which again, hey, I mean, we'll see,

580
00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:12.279
<v Speaker 2>but I wouldn't say that's a good sign. God doesn't

581
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:14.240
<v Speaker 2>even know when to he's gonna run out of gas,

582
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:19.160
<v Speaker 2>expect him to lead the Kentucky basketball program. Clearly, I'm

583
00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:21.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm throwing some sarcasm in there. I hope you guys

584
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:25.160
<v Speaker 2>can pick up on it. But yeah, I got a

585
00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:28.039
<v Speaker 2>buddy who I won't I won't name, but he's he's

586
00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:30.720
<v Speaker 2>probably running out of gas like five times and it's

587
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:33.880
<v Speaker 2>never been because of like he lost his wallet or

588
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:36.359
<v Speaker 2>he was like he had no money, or he didn't

589
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:39.079
<v Speaker 2>have a gas station nearby. He just like that's what

590
00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:39.519
<v Speaker 2>he does.

591
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:40.920
<v Speaker 4>He just doesn't want to go to the gas.

592
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what it is like, I don't you know,

593
00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:44.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't mind stopping at a gas station. I mean,

594
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:47.119
<v Speaker 2>I you're a Thornton's guy, exactly. You know what. I

595
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:49.880
<v Speaker 2>get gas three times a day at Thornton's just because

596
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:51.319
<v Speaker 2>that's how much I love him, you know, It's just

597
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:54.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's what I do. All right. So the

598
00:28:54.079 --> 00:28:56.880
<v Speaker 2>teams that are undefeated in college football right now, and

599
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:00.319
<v Speaker 2>maybe I'm wrong here, maybe Oregon is in fact a

600
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:05.319
<v Speaker 2>national championship contender, but I don't think they are. I mean,

601
00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:07.559
<v Speaker 2>they look like they're in great shape to make the playoff.

602
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:10.880
<v Speaker 2>But I still think when it comes to who's legitimately

603
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:14.440
<v Speaker 2>in the mix to win a national championship, I mean,

604
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:17.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm still thinking it's Alabama and Georgia, despite Bama clearly

605
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:20.160
<v Speaker 2>being up against it here. They already have two losses

606
00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:22.000
<v Speaker 2>and it's not even November. That's not ideal. They may

607
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:26.799
<v Speaker 2>not even get a chance to play for it. But Georgia, Texas.

608
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:31.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I hesitate to put Miami in there just

609
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:33.720
<v Speaker 2>because of the close losses that they've had, Like, we

610
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:36.519
<v Speaker 2>may end up getting a really fun playoff that features

611
00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:38.000
<v Speaker 2>teams you never thought they were going to be there,

612
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:39.839
<v Speaker 2>Teams that you never thought would win a game. Maybe

613
00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:41.880
<v Speaker 2>they win two of them. It's that kind of year.

614
00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:44.599
<v Speaker 2>But I kind of got to I mean, you don't

615
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:48.799
<v Speaker 2>just randomly win a national championship in football, and Oregon

616
00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:51.599
<v Speaker 2>they've for years been viewed and they're the number one

617
00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:53.440
<v Speaker 2>team in the country by the way, They've for years

618
00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:55.160
<v Speaker 2>been viewed as if there is a team that gets

619
00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:58.519
<v Speaker 2>a first time title, Oregon would be in play because

620
00:29:58.599 --> 00:30:00.359
<v Speaker 2>more often than not they've been pretty good. They played

621
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:04.799
<v Speaker 2>for a national championship years ago in twenty fourteen when

622
00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:07.200
<v Speaker 2>they had Mariota I think it was they came up

623
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:10.160
<v Speaker 2>short Ohio State. That yeah, that's right. So you know,

624
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:14.359
<v Speaker 2>these are the teams that are undefeated. Oregon and their

625
00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:18.119
<v Speaker 2>strength to schedule right now ranks twenty eighth, and their

626
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:22.000
<v Speaker 2>highest chance for a loss here according to Yahoo Sports,

627
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:25.160
<v Speaker 2>is when they take on Illinois, which is this Saturday,

628
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:30.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, and maybe they run the table. But I

629
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:32.400
<v Speaker 2>still would be shocked if they win the whole thing.

630
00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Penn State, I mean there's six and oh, their strength

631
00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:39.920
<v Speaker 2>to schedule currently ranks fifty seventh. I'd be highly mean

632
00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:42.279
<v Speaker 2>they should have lost to USC, to be honest with you,

633
00:30:43.160 --> 00:30:47.240
<v Speaker 2>although USC's kind of fallen apart. Didn't they play USC already?

634
00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Penn State?

635
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:49.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, USC's three and four now, by.

636
00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:52.599
<v Speaker 2>The way, yikes. So you know they play Ohio State

637
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:55.119
<v Speaker 2>on November the tewod meaning Penn State does. Maybe that's

638
00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:57.839
<v Speaker 2>when they take their first loss. Miami seven and oh,

639
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:01.799
<v Speaker 2>their strength to schedule is forty fifth, so it's better

640
00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:05.200
<v Speaker 2>than Penn States and their highest chance of a loss

641
00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:12.200
<v Speaker 2>right now is probably, I mean probably Syracuse, which tells

642
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:13.720
<v Speaker 2>you again that's why it was a huge game from

643
00:31:13.759 --> 00:31:16.759
<v Speaker 2>Miami on Saturday. They avoided two losses narrowly, and then

644
00:31:16.799 --> 00:31:20.599
<v Speaker 2>Louisville was, you know, on paper objectively a better team

645
00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:22.359
<v Speaker 2>than the two that nearly beat them, and they came

646
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:25.440
<v Speaker 2>in and you know, they they could slip up and lose,

647
00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:28.440
<v Speaker 2>because you know, anybody could, I think, but Miami can

648
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:30.680
<v Speaker 2>probably put it on cruise control right now and still

649
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:35.119
<v Speaker 2>find themselves in Charlotte for the ACC Championship and really,

650
00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:38.599
<v Speaker 2>whatever happens there probably won't impact them getting a spot

651
00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:42.319
<v Speaker 2>in the playoff. Iowa Stayed is seven and zero and

652
00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:46.000
<v Speaker 2>their ranked number ten. Their strength to schedule ranks thirty six.

653
00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:49.960
<v Speaker 2>So the Big twelve, you know, they aren't getting a

654
00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:51.680
<v Speaker 2>whole lot of love. I don't think they have a

655
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:53.880
<v Speaker 2>title contender, but I Aoway stayed at least at this point,

656
00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:56.960
<v Speaker 2>they've got a decent strength to schedule, and if their

657
00:31:57.119 --> 00:32:01.200
<v Speaker 2>toughest challenge is a Kansas State team, then maybe, I mean,

658
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:04.200
<v Speaker 2>what if we get a random ash year where you've

659
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:06.480
<v Speaker 2>got like a bunch of undefeated teams going into the

660
00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:11.079
<v Speaker 2>championship games in the conference play? I mean, and you know, if.

661
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:12.799
<v Speaker 4>You imagine if this was only a four team how

662
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:14.119
<v Speaker 4>many teams would be pissed.

663
00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:17.680
<v Speaker 2>That's a great point, and you know, maybe we're I

664
00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:19.240
<v Speaker 2>don't know, I'm trying to think of why we're seeing

665
00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:21.160
<v Speaker 2>this many teams undefeated this late. And look, some of

666
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:24.160
<v Speaker 2>these teams are clearly gonna lose. But it does seem

667
00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:26.359
<v Speaker 2>like this seems like a very unusual year, and it

668
00:32:26.400 --> 00:32:28.279
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have anything to do with the fourteen team playoff.

669
00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:30.720
<v Speaker 2>It's just that you got some teams seven eight, games

670
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:33.000
<v Speaker 2>in that that you never thought would be where they are,

671
00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:37.079
<v Speaker 2>including Indiana, who is currently ranked thirteenth in the Ape Pole.

672
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:40.839
<v Speaker 2>There's seven and oh their strength to schedule one fourteenth,

673
00:32:41.240 --> 00:32:44.720
<v Speaker 2>and of course their obvious potential loss is Ohio State.

674
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:47.000
<v Speaker 2>They could technically lose to some other teams along the way,

675
00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:49.640
<v Speaker 2>but with the way they've looked, I mean, I have.

676
00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:52.240
<v Speaker 4>One fourteen is insane. I didn't realize it was that. Yeah,

677
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:54.119
<v Speaker 4>I knew they had an easy schedule. This we're taking

678
00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:56.400
<v Speaker 4>into consideration the entirety or the remaining skill No, just

679
00:32:56.400 --> 00:32:57.400
<v Speaker 4>what they've played up to this point.

680
00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, gotcha? Yeah, So yeah, their strength schedule is one

681
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:05.240
<v Speaker 2>fourteenth and it says here that they've scored at least

682
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:08.160
<v Speaker 2>forty one points in six straight games. They're fifth in

683
00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:11.000
<v Speaker 2>the country and yards a game, and they mentioned, you know,

684
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:14.160
<v Speaker 2>all the impressive numbers from Rourke, and they're running back

685
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Ellison who's got eight touchdowns. But it does say that

686
00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:22.680
<v Speaker 2>the let's see here, it's as well they do play

687
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:24.640
<v Speaker 2>at Ohio State. Other than that, the Hoosiers have played

688
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:26.640
<v Speaker 2>one of the weakest schedules of any in the country.

689
00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Their best win is likely over too lost Nebraska at

690
00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:32.559
<v Speaker 2>home this past Saturday, Will any weaknesses be exposed by

691
00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:35.279
<v Speaker 2>the Buckeyes or others? And can the Hoosiers win without Rourke?

692
00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:39.519
<v Speaker 2>So you know, I get it, like the schedule is

693
00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:42.519
<v Speaker 2>what it is, but they're also not even keeping it

694
00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:44.720
<v Speaker 2>like I mean, they're they're blowing teams out. I mean

695
00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:46.799
<v Speaker 2>the best if the best team they played is Nebraska,

696
00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:49.799
<v Speaker 2>then you know, I think that speaks to how impressive

697
00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:51.960
<v Speaker 2>they've been thus far because they killed them, I mean

698
00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:54.319
<v Speaker 2>quite literally just beat the brakes off of them. So

699
00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:57.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, at this point, if you're Indiana, the Rourke

700
00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:00.559
<v Speaker 2>injury clearly is something to monitor. I know, the backup

701
00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Jackson came in and looked pretty good in the second half,

702
00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:06.359
<v Speaker 2>and he's he's a pretty good backup to have, considering

703
00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:09.880
<v Speaker 2>he's always shown some talent, not as proven as a

704
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:13.239
<v Speaker 2>guy like Rourke. But I mean, I don't know, the

705
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:16.360
<v Speaker 2>injury is a real, you know, thing to monitor here

706
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:18.920
<v Speaker 2>and seeing how they look without Rourke in this game

707
00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:21.400
<v Speaker 2>coming up. But if you're Indiana, John and you know

708
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:23.360
<v Speaker 2>you're a big Indiana fan and you have a you

709
00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:25.440
<v Speaker 2>can check the pulse of that football fan base, like,

710
00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:27.920
<v Speaker 2>how are you not expecting eleven in one at this point.

711
00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:29.400
<v Speaker 4>I mean I said that the other day.

712
00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:31.320
<v Speaker 2>It's weird, but like, it's got to be where you are, right.

713
00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:33.480
<v Speaker 4>Especially if you can get through these next couple of

714
00:34:33.480 --> 00:34:35.320
<v Speaker 4>weeks or maybe just one week, depending on how long

715
00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:38.239
<v Speaker 4>Rourke is out. And I don't really expect to significant

716
00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:40.920
<v Speaker 4>of a drop off from Tavin Jackson. But at the

717
00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:42.679
<v Speaker 4>same time, if you can get through these next couple

718
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:45.000
<v Speaker 4>of weeks and you're still unblemished, I mean, there's no

719
00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:47.159
<v Speaker 4>reason to think that you shouldn't finish eleven in one.

720
00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's been a special season for him, right real quick.

721
00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:51.079
<v Speaker 2>I know we got to get to a break. But

722
00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:55.360
<v Speaker 2>other undefeated teams BYU is undefeated and their strength to

723
00:34:55.400 --> 00:35:01.000
<v Speaker 2>schedule is thirty seconds, so they are currently behind Oregon

724
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:03.719
<v Speaker 2>as far as unbeaten, but also having you know, a

725
00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:07.119
<v Speaker 2>decent strength to schedule. Uh, Pitt, Actually, I'm sorry, Pitt,

726
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:08.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry. Yeah, pitt is I thought there was a

727
00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:10.760
<v Speaker 2>strength of schedule Pits ranked nineteenth, but they're six and

728
00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:13.480
<v Speaker 2>oh their strength to schedule is seventy seventh. Their most

729
00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:16.800
<v Speaker 2>likely loss is Clemson Army. How about this Army is

730
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:19.920
<v Speaker 2>undefeated and they have a stronger schedule than any of

731
00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:23.440
<v Speaker 2>the other undefeated about that crazy. Yeah, Army right now

732
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:27.360
<v Speaker 2>is sitting at seven. And oh their strength to schedule. Oh,

733
00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:30.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, I'm I'm being a dumbass again. Their AP

734
00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:32.480
<v Speaker 2>rank is twenty third. Their strength of schedule is not great,

735
00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:34.079
<v Speaker 2>it's one forty eighth. I knew that made no sense.

736
00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:36.639
<v Speaker 2>So forget what I just said. Navy is six, and

737
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:38.480
<v Speaker 2>oh their strength to schedule is one forty four. And

738
00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:41.559
<v Speaker 2>then Liberty is undefeated, not ranked, and their strength to

739
00:35:41.559 --> 00:35:43.679
<v Speaker 2>schedule is like one to eighty. So those are all

740
00:35:43.719 --> 00:35:46.400
<v Speaker 2>of your unbeaten teams and out look, maybe I'm wrong.

741
00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:49.280
<v Speaker 2>I would be highly shocked if any of these teams

742
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:52.400
<v Speaker 2>end up actually deep into the playoff. But maybe, you know,

743
00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:54.960
<v Speaker 2>maybe Oregon proves me wrong, maybe Indiana, maybe Miami proves

744
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:56.719
<v Speaker 2>me wrong. I mean, these teams haven't lost yet, so

745
00:35:57.320 --> 00:36:00.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, so far, they're perfect. Right, quick break, We'll

746
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:01.760
<v Speaker 2>come back and wrap it up on the other side

747
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:06.559
<v Speaker 2>right here on Sports Talk seven ninety So running out

748
00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:09.000
<v Speaker 2>of gas? You know from what I gather on the

749
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:13.119
<v Speaker 2>text line after we had that conversation, you know, many people,

750
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:15.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean have claimed they've they've never run out of

751
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:17.360
<v Speaker 2>gas and never come close to it. Well, you're more

752
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:20.800
<v Speaker 2>responsible than me. I mean, I don't know. If you

753
00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:24.639
<v Speaker 2>ask people if you've been er if you're an adult

754
00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:30.599
<v Speaker 2>fifty years of age, I feel fifty years older. Like

755
00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I feel like there's probably a time where you've ran

756
00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:33.239
<v Speaker 2>out of gas one time.

757
00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:37.880
<v Speaker 4>But maybe because vehicles old, older vehicles don't notify you

758
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:39.000
<v Speaker 4>the way that the newer ones do.

759
00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like back in the day, like you know, if

760
00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:43.280
<v Speaker 2>your light came on, like you know, did you? I mean,

761
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I guess maybe if you're read like your owner's manual,

762
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:49.239
<v Speaker 2>you would have known. But like now, from a technological standpoint,

763
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:51.400
<v Speaker 2>like you know, my car is not that new. It's

764
00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:54.119
<v Speaker 2>twenty nineteen, and it can tell me pretty close, like

765
00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:55.960
<v Speaker 2>not only that my light's on, which means I'm low,

766
00:36:55.960 --> 00:36:58.400
<v Speaker 2>but it'll tell me if I got like twenty five miles,

767
00:36:58.400 --> 00:37:01.280
<v Speaker 2>ten miles, five miles. And I never risk it, at

768
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:03.760
<v Speaker 2>least I try not to at that point. But yeah,

769
00:37:03.800 --> 00:37:05.559
<v Speaker 2>maybe I'm just trying to tell myself that others have

770
00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:07.960
<v Speaker 2>run out of gas to make me feel less like

771
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:10.000
<v Speaker 2>a dumb ass for having it happen. At least you know,

772
00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:13.079
<v Speaker 2>just once, all right, real quick, before we get out

773
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:14.559
<v Speaker 2>of here. Let me give you another shout out to

774
00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:17.639
<v Speaker 2>my friends over there at the Jefferson Animal Hospital, because

775
00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:21.119
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to your pets, those pets are family.

776
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:23.679
<v Speaker 2>They're I mean, I don't want to say they're like

777
00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:25.400
<v Speaker 2>your kids. Some people get weirded out by that, but

778
00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:27.679
<v Speaker 2>I also know people who do, in fact, refer to

779
00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:31.199
<v Speaker 2>their pets as their kids. Right there. You know, and

780
00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:34.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, do whatever you want, not bother anybody by

781
00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:37.719
<v Speaker 2>living a life thinking and viewing your pet as your child.

782
00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:40.320
<v Speaker 2>But if that's the case, then I would assume that

783
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:42.239
<v Speaker 2>that person, that pet means a lot to you, not

784
00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:44.480
<v Speaker 2>a person, but a pet. So with all that said,

785
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:46.599
<v Speaker 2>you want to make sure if something was to happen

786
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:48.000
<v Speaker 2>to your pet, that you know where to go, you

787
00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:49.960
<v Speaker 2>know where to turn, and if you don't know, now

788
00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:52.159
<v Speaker 2>you do. Because it's the Jefferson Animal Hospital on outer Loop.

789
00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:55.760
<v Speaker 2>They've been in business since nineteen eighty, serving the community

790
00:37:55.800 --> 00:37:58.199
<v Speaker 2>for forty four years. They've got a doctor on site

791
00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:00.960
<v Speaker 2>all hours of the day, every day of the year,

792
00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:04.639
<v Speaker 2>including Christmas, because they understand that emergencies happen, and if

793
00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:08.239
<v Speaker 2>in fact, an emergency happens middle of the night Christmas

794
00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Easter or whenever you know you want to get your

795
00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:14.559
<v Speaker 2>pets taken care of. So again, you can trust them.

796
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:17.119
<v Speaker 2>They've been in business since nineteen eighty. Give them a

797
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:19.519
<v Speaker 2>call f Ibo two nine hundred pets, or visit Jefferson
