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 --> 00:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.

3
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:36.399
<v Speaker 2>You know, some would say that this might be the

4
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.079
<v Speaker 2>best time of the week, five o'clock on a Friday.

5
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:41.759
<v Speaker 2>I know everybody's schedule is different, but if you're somebody

6
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:44.960
<v Speaker 2>that works the regular nine to five, it means the

7
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:46.719
<v Speaker 2>weekend probably just started for you. And it's a big

8
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:50.079
<v Speaker 2>weekend here Louisville. We've got Louisville Live tonight to get

9
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:52.320
<v Speaker 2>things started for Pat Kelsey and his team. Of course,

10
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.159
<v Speaker 2>not a real game, but it is the first event

11
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:57.679
<v Speaker 2>for Pat Kelsey as the Louisville coach where fans can

12
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:01.600
<v Speaker 2>get out and meet his new team, a brand new team.

13
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:05.840
<v Speaker 2>And I'm I'm really happy that that there were so

14
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:08.239
<v Speaker 2>many of you on the text line and on social

15
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.680
<v Speaker 2>media as well, that we're that we're fine with acknowledging. Yes,

16
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 2>you love Louisville basketball. It's a big part of your life,

17
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.560
<v Speaker 2>but you need to do some some research, some studying

18
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:22.439
<v Speaker 2>to learn this roster and learn this team. I totally

19
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.599
<v Speaker 2>get it, because you know, most people don't have the

20
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:28.079
<v Speaker 2>ability to to, or maybe they just don't want to

21
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.040
<v Speaker 2>because they've got other things in their life that they

22
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:32.640
<v Speaker 2>spend time on rather than you know, following the transfer

23
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:36.879
<v Speaker 2>portal extremely closely, you know, reading message boards on Trilli

24
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Donovan's discord, that kind of stuff. So look, no, there's

25
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.840
<v Speaker 2>no no shame in that this is not usual or

26
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:46.439
<v Speaker 2>this is not any This is not normal. It's very unusual,

27
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.719
<v Speaker 2>I should say, because of the circumstance. I mean, you're

28
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:50.959
<v Speaker 2>going to see a lot more roster turnover than than

29
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:52.920
<v Speaker 2>you used to because we are now in the era

30
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.239
<v Speaker 2>where players can transfer anytime they want free agency, right,

31
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>but this is this is next level to have an

32
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:01.280
<v Speaker 2>tire team brand new.

33
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 3>But I'd say that's what was needed.

34
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Completely gutting everything out from the last regime and starting fresh,

35
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 2>That's that was necessary. So again, tonight Louisville Live. Tomorrow,

36
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 2>Louisville SMU, don't forget. We've got you covered for the

<v Speaker 2>com so. And then tomorrow night we've got Racing Louisville

<v Speaker 2>the four o'clock hour with Jeff Greer, you get in

49
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:51.400
<v Speaker 2>free to the game tomorrow night, Star Wars Night, by

50
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.520
<v Speaker 2>the way, if you bring your Louisvill Football ticket. So

51
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:55.560
<v Speaker 2>if you want to do a you know, you want

52
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 2>to double dip and have two games, it's gonna be

53
00:02:58.439 --> 00:02:59.759
<v Speaker 2>a beautiful day to do it. Gonna be a little

54
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.560
<v Speaker 2>warmer then it has been in recent days, but that's okay.

55
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's not gonna be brutal. And I you know,

56
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:06.520
<v Speaker 2>I could be wrong here, What the hell do I

57
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.680
<v Speaker 2>know about weather? But I do feel like when you

58
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.520
<v Speaker 2>get to October, like it might still be muggy at times,

59
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:14.479
<v Speaker 2>but I feel like like that brutal humidity that we

60
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.520
<v Speaker 2>get around here, like in October it's usually gone. It's

61
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 2>like maybe eighty three eighty four with a breeze will

62
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:24.439
<v Speaker 2>actually be you know, perfect, We shall see, all right,

63
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:26.000
<v Speaker 2>where do we start here in the five o'clock hour.

64
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.479
<v Speaker 2>We did talk earlier with Alex Kupper getting his thoughts

65
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.879
<v Speaker 2>on Louisville football and really this matchup against SMU, and

66
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm not trying to act like they're a

67
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 2>team that scares me, right, They're not. I mean, if

68
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Louisville loses tomorrow, you know you're gonna have to you know,

69
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.120
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna have to eat it and realize that one

70
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:46.960
<v Speaker 2>this team is. At that point, I would say, if

71
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.599
<v Speaker 2>you if you start the season three and two, I mean,

72
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.039
<v Speaker 2>there's no scenario anybody would have had that out there

73
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:56.879
<v Speaker 2>as the expected record five games in. I mean maybe

74
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:00.159
<v Speaker 2>some people would, but I'd say Louisville fans who who

75
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.599
<v Speaker 2>had expectations for this season, that would be not an

76
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:04.800
<v Speaker 2>ideal start. And I don't believe that's gonna happen. But

77
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 2>what I'm trying to get to is that you know,

78
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:11.960
<v Speaker 2>if they lose tomorrow, SMU is gonna deserve all the credit.

79
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 2>You know, technically, they will have done exactly what you

80
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.639
<v Speaker 2>need to do go win a game. But I don't

81
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:18.680
<v Speaker 2>think it's gonna because we realize, man, they just got

82
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:22.879
<v Speaker 2>better players than Louisville. Like they're just a really bad matchup. Now.

83
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:26.079
<v Speaker 2>A lot of times teams lose games where if you

84
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 2>evaluated the roster when it comes to personnel and talent,

85
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.360
<v Speaker 2>the team that the team that won didn't have the

86
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.000
<v Speaker 2>best players and whatnot. So LOL was gonna have to

87
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.079
<v Speaker 2>come ready to play. They're gonna have to play clean football.

88
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.879
<v Speaker 2>Limit the type of mistakes you saw up in South Bend,

89
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 2>limit penalties and other than that, keep doing what you've

90
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.519
<v Speaker 2>been doing right because the offense I think has just

91
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:48.560
<v Speaker 2>looked really really.

92
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:49.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean again, if you.

93
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:51.519
<v Speaker 2>Turn the ball over a lot, then it's hard to

94
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.519
<v Speaker 2>say you've got a great offense. But in between turnovers, man,

95
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.600
<v Speaker 2>you've got something with Isaac Brown. I mean not to

96
00:04:57.639 --> 00:04:59.120
<v Speaker 2>say I told you so, but I told you so.

97
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 2>I by the time you get a few games in,

98
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.120
<v Speaker 2>he was going to be the main ball carrier. I

99
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:07.319
<v Speaker 2>don't think it's just because Maurice Turner's injured. I think

100
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.839
<v Speaker 2>they realized they've got something special here in true freshman

101
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.399
<v Speaker 2>Isaac Brown, and he's shown that so far this year.

102
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:15.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you look at the receivers.

103
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Not only has j Corey Brooks been great all year,

104
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Colin Lacey that was the hell of a debut for him,

105
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.360
<v Speaker 2>and then Tyler Shuck has continued each week to look

106
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.480
<v Speaker 2>like a guy that you know is capable of leading

107
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:31.160
<v Speaker 2>an offense that'll look a lot more like the type

108
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 2>of offense you expected Jeff brom to have. And look,

109
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.040
<v Speaker 2>the offense last year was good enough. They got the

110
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.160
<v Speaker 2>job done, but it was just different than what'll we expected.

111
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.879
<v Speaker 2>It was a team overall that was dependent upon their

112
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.399
<v Speaker 2>defense in a major way, but their strength offensively was

113
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.160
<v Speaker 2>running the ball because they had two really good running

114
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.319
<v Speaker 2>backs and their quarterback, you know, let's be real, he

115
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:52.720
<v Speaker 2>wasn't Tyler Shuck, So I guess you know, I don't.

116
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.720
<v Speaker 2>It's not nice coming off of a loss, but as

117
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.680
<v Speaker 2>I've I guess accepted it more so as this week

118
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.279
<v Speaker 2>has progressed. It is nice knowing that, you know, despite

119
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.800
<v Speaker 2>the loss, you look at your personnel, you look at

120
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 2>your playmakers, your weapons, and I'm not really worried when

121
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:12.639
<v Speaker 2>it comes to that. Now, when you play Miami Clemson

122
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.600
<v Speaker 2>at Clemson, you are entering a different level of competition

123
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.040
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to just talent that those teams have. SMU,

124
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:21.240
<v Speaker 2>with all due respect, is not one of those teams,

125
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.680
<v Speaker 2>but they do have a really, really good player that

126
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:28.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe this is me just you know, gassing this guy

127
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.319
<v Speaker 2>up because he's going to be here tomorrow and I'm

128
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:34.160
<v Speaker 2>worried about him. But I don't think it's crazy to

129
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:36.439
<v Speaker 2>say that SMU may have one of the best offensive

130
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:38.680
<v Speaker 2>weapons in the ACC that really nobody seems to be

131
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 2>talking about Jennings, their quarterback who replaced Preston Stone, and

132
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.279
<v Speaker 2>he's been perfect for them. I mean he's made mistakes,

133
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:50.959
<v Speaker 2>but like he has been really efficient and if you

134
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.279
<v Speaker 2>watch them play, you'd never guess that this guy started

135
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:57.000
<v Speaker 2>out as the backup. But Brash Broochard, I think that's

136
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.879
<v Speaker 2>how you say, Brishard Smith a running back for them.

137
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.199
<v Speaker 2>Like he's the guy that I think probably deserves more

138
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.720
<v Speaker 2>credit and praise for this SMU team than anybody else.

139
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:09.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's the first player we think about this.

140
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.680
<v Speaker 2>He's the first player with five hundred rushing yards, one

141
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.959
<v Speaker 2>hundred receiving yards and one hundred to turn yards and

142
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:21.720
<v Speaker 2>eight touchdowns through five games since it happened in twenty eighteen,

143
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:23.399
<v Speaker 2>the last time that happened was in twenty eighteen, a

144
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:26.279
<v Speaker 2>guy by the name of Darryl Henderson did it for Memphis.

145
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.279
<v Speaker 2>So in the first five games, this guy has been

146
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.519
<v Speaker 2>a weapon on the ground as a ball carrier. He

147
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.480
<v Speaker 2>can obviously make some plays out of the backfield as

148
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:39.600
<v Speaker 2>a receiver, and he's special on special teams. And eight

149
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:43.879
<v Speaker 2>touchdowns in five games for this guy. So the only

150
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.959
<v Speaker 2>other players that have been as productive as this guy

151
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:53.879
<v Speaker 2>in the play in the college football Playoff era Sekwan

152
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Barkley at Penn State many years ago. And there was

153
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:00.519
<v Speaker 2>a guy in Nebraska, Abdullah, that did it long ago.

154
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:02.360
<v Speaker 2>So that's a guy you're gonna have to account for.

155
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.879
<v Speaker 2>And I'm I'm sure Jeff Prom and his team know that,

156
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:07.000
<v Speaker 2>but think about this. I mean, this is a guy

157
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.800
<v Speaker 2>who one hundred and fifty all purpose yards per game.

158
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.519
<v Speaker 2>So like he's doing it in a variety of ways

159
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.399
<v Speaker 2>and he's getting it done. And that's somebody that does

160
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:18.800
<v Speaker 2>worry me a little bit. And he was a really

161
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:20.920
<v Speaker 2>talented guy coming out of high school. Smith was he

162
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:23.439
<v Speaker 2>was a I think he was a five star in

163
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:26.480
<v Speaker 2>one of the services, but a four everywhere else. Literally

164
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:28.439
<v Speaker 2>could pick wherever he wanted to go to school, like

165
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:29.360
<v Speaker 2>had offers from me.

166
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:30.399
<v Speaker 3>He chose Miami.

167
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:32.320
<v Speaker 2>He transferre from Miami, by the way, but he chose

168
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Miami over Alabama lsu Georgia.

169
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.360
<v Speaker 3>I mean again, he's a.

170
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Star athletic receiver from Florida who you know, everybody wanted,

171
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:42.240
<v Speaker 2>and it didn't work out at Miami. He ended up

172
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.399
<v Speaker 2>being really just a special teams guy. Like I think

173
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.320
<v Speaker 2>he actually was an all acc guy when it comes

174
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:49.159
<v Speaker 2>to being a return man. But at SMU, they're utilizing

175
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:50.840
<v Speaker 2>him in a lot of ways and it is working.

176
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.840
<v Speaker 2>So that's somebody I'm you know, I'm gonna be watching

177
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:56.919
<v Speaker 2>closely tomorrow to make you know, not that I'm going

178
00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:59.200
<v Speaker 2>to have any impact on the game, but I'm hopeful

179
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:03.120
<v Speaker 2>that he doesn't, you know, take over the game, because

180
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:04.240
<v Speaker 2>he's shown the ability to.

181
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Uh to do that, all right, Uh real quick. I

182
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:09.279
<v Speaker 3>don't know.

183
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.320
<v Speaker 2>I know a lot of people probably don't care about

184
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:13.600
<v Speaker 2>last night's action at this point, although we did get

185
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:17.200
<v Speaker 2>a pretty exciting Thursday night football game in the NFL.

186
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm curious how many people are watching. I assume anybody

187
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 2>or anybody who loves NFL football is watching, but I

188
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.039
<v Speaker 2>don't know. Maybe people just think like, yeah, you know,

189
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a Bucks fan, I'm not a Falcons fan,

190
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:30.960
<v Speaker 2>so you know I'm not going to fire up Amazon

191
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Prime because there is even though like now you got

192
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.639
<v Speaker 2>to go back and forth between apps and streaming providers.

193
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.759
<v Speaker 2>That's not necessarily new. But you know, if you got

194
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:42.120
<v Speaker 2>YouTube TV on and you're going, you know, back and

195
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:44.320
<v Speaker 2>forth between college games or I don't know, maybe you're

196
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:47.440
<v Speaker 2>watching whatever, like you may like when it's not right

197
00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:49.240
<v Speaker 2>there and you got to It's not like it's hard work,

198
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:51.279
<v Speaker 2>but you know what I'm saying, John, like getting out

199
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:53.240
<v Speaker 2>of your live TV thing to go pull up an

200
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:55.360
<v Speaker 2>app and then like it seems.

201
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:58.320
<v Speaker 4>Like it's definitely not as seamless as just scrolling through

202
00:09:58.399 --> 00:09:59.240
<v Speaker 4>channels used to be.

203
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.799
<v Speaker 2>And I know this sound like I'm speaking as if

204
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.799
<v Speaker 2>like everybody's just so lazy to push a few more buttons.

205
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:06.240
<v Speaker 3>You don't have to get up and do anything.

206
00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:09.000
<v Speaker 2>But it does make you, at least for a millisecond,

207
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:10.879
<v Speaker 2>think like do I really want to watch that? Because

208
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:14.039
<v Speaker 2>it's someone like myself who just loves football and if

209
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:16.080
<v Speaker 2>live sports are on, and I'm gonna have it on

210
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:17.960
<v Speaker 2>in my house, even if I'm watching closely or not.

211
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.200
<v Speaker 2>That's just kind of always been my nature, but it

212
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.360
<v Speaker 2>is at times made me think, like, you know what,

213
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:24.480
<v Speaker 2>I think, I'm fine not turning that on.

214
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.519
<v Speaker 4>Like I'll say this, if I'm ever on Hulu looking

215
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:29.720
<v Speaker 4>for something and I accidentally hit the home button, that

216
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:31.559
<v Speaker 4>takes me back to the you know, the home screen

217
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.519
<v Speaker 4>of the fire stick, it's a lot harder to kind

218
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:38.559
<v Speaker 4>of do the maybe it's not mental gymnastics, so to speak,

219
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:41.559
<v Speaker 4>but have that extra motivation to get back to where

220
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:42.799
<v Speaker 4>you were just because.

221
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:45.000
<v Speaker 5>You were scrolling through channels or whatever, and maybe on Hulu.

222
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:45.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I.

223
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Love YouTube TV, And I'm gonna get back to last

224
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:50.919
<v Speaker 2>night's games because there was a reason I brought that up.

225
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:53.039
<v Speaker 2>But now that we're talking about it, I was at

226
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:55.240
<v Speaker 2>I can't think of where it was. It was a

227
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:58.879
<v Speaker 2>few weeks ago. I was at a friend's house and

228
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:02.600
<v Speaker 2>they still have you know, I think they have spectrum,

229
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:05.799
<v Speaker 2>so like they have they're not relying on Internet to

230
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:08.519
<v Speaker 2>watch television, which I just, you know, that's all I've

231
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:13.000
<v Speaker 2>done for a long time now, and I did kind

232
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.200
<v Speaker 2>of start to miss that. You don't because even if

233
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:18.279
<v Speaker 2>you have the fastest internet in the world, you're still

234
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.360
<v Speaker 2>like it's a slight delay when you hit a button,

235
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:21.799
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, Like, yes, even if it's

236
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:24.840
<v Speaker 2>a millisecond, like even if you're scrolling down on your guide,

237
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:28.519
<v Speaker 2>like you're relying on an Internet connection to show you

238
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.360
<v Speaker 2>that well being on non internet TV, like it was

239
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:34.799
<v Speaker 2>kind of like, oh wow, this is kind of great,

240
00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:37.399
<v Speaker 2>Like it does move a lot faster when you do anything,

241
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:39.919
<v Speaker 2>but it's worth it for the convenience and the price.

242
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:42.279
<v Speaker 2>So I'm never going back. I thought I would be

243
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:44.000
<v Speaker 2>back when I initially cut the court. I thought it

244
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:47.320
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't last long, and here I am eight nine years later,

245
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:50.000
<v Speaker 2>and it was a good choice. But the reason I

246
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:51.559
<v Speaker 2>bring up last night's game because it was a rare

247
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:57.240
<v Speaker 2>situation where you could go to either the Falcons Buccaneers

248
00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:03.679
<v Speaker 2>game in Atlanta or the Troy Texas Stadium. I couldn't

249
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.679
<v Speaker 2>remember who. They played the Troy Texas State game at

250
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:10.639
<v Speaker 2>Troy and get very affordable concessions. Now I'll start with Atlanta,

251
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:13.480
<v Speaker 2>and this has been since they opened up Mercedes Been Stadium.

252
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:15.879
<v Speaker 2>Arthur blank Has I think that's his name, the guy

253
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:19.759
<v Speaker 2>who owns him. He's They don't promote it enough. They

254
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:23.919
<v Speaker 2>have decided to give you very affordable concessions, more so

255
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:25.840
<v Speaker 2>than any other stadium. And I know some of these

256
00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:29.240
<v Speaker 2>prices like are probably gonna still sound expensive to you.

257
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:35.840
<v Speaker 2>But if you have gone to any game college football, NFL, NBA,

258
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.840
<v Speaker 2>like I think sporting events where you got to pay

259
00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:41.039
<v Speaker 2>for a ticket to go to, that's not high school,

260
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:44.320
<v Speaker 2>it's not cheap. I mean, nothing seems cheap this day

261
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.320
<v Speaker 2>and age, right at least that's the way I see it.

262
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:50.559
<v Speaker 2>But you can get a large beer, a large domestic beer,

263
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:52.960
<v Speaker 2>like a large I don't know what the ounces are,

264
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.240
<v Speaker 2>and that is important. But at the Falcons game last night,

265
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:58.120
<v Speaker 2>you can get a large bud Light Corps Light Miller

266
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.679
<v Speaker 2>Lite for eight bucks. Again, that doesn't sound cheap like

267
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:03.720
<v Speaker 2>in the grand scheme of things for a beer, but

268
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:07.039
<v Speaker 2>at a game that's super cheap. You can also get

269
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.240
<v Speaker 2>a souvenir soda with one of those big cups like

270
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.000
<v Speaker 2>that you can take home for four bucks, but you

271
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:14.279
<v Speaker 2>can get a regular one with just you know, and

272
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:15.799
<v Speaker 2>I would get the regular one because I don't need

273
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:16.000
<v Speaker 2>the cup.

274
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:17.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to carry a cup.

275
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Out of there for two dollars for a humongous soda

276
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.679
<v Speaker 2>at an NFL game like that. I'm sure it's not

277
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:25.279
<v Speaker 2>really sounding like a great deal, but if you've gone

278
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:28.399
<v Speaker 2>to some of these stadiums really for the last I mean,

279
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:30.679
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to blame this on the economy currently.

280
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's been expensive it games for a long

281
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:34.679
<v Speaker 2>time and only getting more and more expensive. And how

282
00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:38.240
<v Speaker 2>about this last night at the Troy game, you could

283
00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:40.960
<v Speaker 2>get two dollars beers And that wasn't even like a

284
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.919
<v Speaker 2>crazy special, I don't think. Yeah, here's the concessions list

285
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:47.360
<v Speaker 2>at Troy. At Troy's football game last night, you can

286
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:49.759
<v Speaker 2>get a hot dog for four bucks, a hamburger for five,

287
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:51.600
<v Speaker 2>nachos for five.

288
00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:55.600
<v Speaker 3>You can get two dollars Bush lights. I don't know

289
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:56.200
<v Speaker 3>why I wasn't there.

290
00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:00.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm just seeing that two dollars Natty lights too, So

291
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:03.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I just in a weird way now

292
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:06.039
<v Speaker 2>that I've looked at both these menus here and I

293
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:08.000
<v Speaker 2>looked at it last night, which made me remember to

294
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:11.399
<v Speaker 2>bring it up. It is sad how expensive everything is now,

295
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:12.840
<v Speaker 2>because here I am telling you, oh my god, you

296
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:15.639
<v Speaker 2>can you can get a hamburger for five dollars if

297
00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:17.360
<v Speaker 2>that's like but it, I mean, because.

298
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:20.200
<v Speaker 4>If you bought a hamburger from any said fast food

299
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:21.399
<v Speaker 4>restaurant for five dollars.

300
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:22.919
<v Speaker 5>That's absolutely expensive.

301
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:24.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

302
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:27.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, man, there's some places, like if I

303
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:32.360
<v Speaker 2>was just to get a quarter pounder with cheese at

304
00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:37.799
<v Speaker 2>McDonald's with no meal, just the Cheeseburgerly, it's probably not

305
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:39.240
<v Speaker 2>far off from five bucks.

306
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Is it.

307
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:39.480
<v Speaker 5>It's not.

308
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:41.320
<v Speaker 4>I mean, any sort of meal you get from a

309
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:43.679
<v Speaker 4>fast food restaurant, unless you're getting one of the value

310
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.559
<v Speaker 4>stuff that they're promoting, everything will run up at least

311
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:47.799
<v Speaker 4>seven fifty eight bucks.

312
00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Right now, I'm kind of reminding myself that I've always

313
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:58.519
<v Speaker 2>hated how companies really promote and market deals half off

314
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:02.840
<v Speaker 2>for twenty percent off, because really you can you can

315
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.440
<v Speaker 2>just start with the really high price and then tell

316
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.399
<v Speaker 2>us you're getting a great deal when if we're still

317
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:11.879
<v Speaker 2>paying a certain number, Like, no, that's not a deal.

318
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:13.120
<v Speaker 3>It's still that's not a deal.

319
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:14.919
<v Speaker 5>You know what I mean? Get one free, it's just

320
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:16.080
<v Speaker 5>two things at half price.

321
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:19.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like promoting we've marked it down, it's on sale. Okay,

322
00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:25.799
<v Speaker 2>well it was insanely overpriced initially. Now it's just substantially overpriced.

323
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:29.679
<v Speaker 2>But like I when I went to the game with

324
00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:32.919
<v Speaker 2>the family. For Georgia Tech. I remember they had a

325
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:34.639
<v Speaker 2>good deal. They had to buy one get one free.

326
00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:36.600
<v Speaker 2>I think for bush Light. I feel like I'm kind

327
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:38.440
<v Speaker 2>of making that up, but like maybe it wasn't buy

328
00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:40.159
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't get one free. But there was some kind

329
00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:41.720
<v Speaker 2>of a special going on with bush Light, which I

330
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:43.960
<v Speaker 2>took advantage of when I went to the Georgia Tech game.

331
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:46.120
<v Speaker 2>But we didn't get concessions or anything like that, so

332
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:48.120
<v Speaker 2>I didn't. It's been a while since i've looked, but

333
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:51.039
<v Speaker 2>I know it's expensive and it's you know, like just

334
00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:55.440
<v Speaker 2>going to a game. Let's just say you are not

335
00:15:55.519 --> 00:16:01.080
<v Speaker 2>a season ticket holder and you're bring in a family,

336
00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:04.879
<v Speaker 2>your your your significant other, and two kids, and you're

337
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:09.519
<v Speaker 2>buying tickets. You're gonna pay to park. You're gonna get

338
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:15.600
<v Speaker 2>a drink for everybody. Everybody's gonna get one item from

339
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.960
<v Speaker 2>the concession stand. Maybe a little Johnny gets him a

340
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:25.240
<v Speaker 2>hot dog, Sally gets her a nacho. Your wife wants

341
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:28.960
<v Speaker 2>to do maybe she's thinking hamburger and you are thinking, okay,

342
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:32.720
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I'm just gonna drink beer. Like and

343
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:35.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm a one off. Like let's just say you only

344
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:38.279
<v Speaker 2>make one trip to the concession stand for the entire game. Like,

345
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:42.360
<v Speaker 2>you're probably spending hundreds of dollars all in all with

346
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:45.360
<v Speaker 2>tickets and parking, and I guess it depends on the game.

347
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.600
<v Speaker 2>And Louiell tickets are fairly cheap this year because the

348
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:52.120
<v Speaker 2>home schedule is not great. You know, the best games

349
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:54.080
<v Speaker 2>you play this year are I mean the best teams

350
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:56.000
<v Speaker 2>you play, most of them are on the road, although Miami,

351
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean in the end of at the end of

352
00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:58.600
<v Speaker 2>the day, Miami is going to be the highest ranked

353
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:00.679
<v Speaker 2>team you play all year and have them at home.

354
00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:02.919
<v Speaker 2>So it's actually worked out to where that is a

355
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.039
<v Speaker 2>big game. But anyways, what I want to do coming

356
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:07.559
<v Speaker 2>up here in about ten minutes, I want to take

357
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:09.160
<v Speaker 2>a look at some of these games from around the country,

358
00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:13.319
<v Speaker 2>because not a big weekend when it comes to Marque matchups.

359
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:15.519
<v Speaker 2>Only one matchup against ranked teams, and it's not even

360
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.039
<v Speaker 2>a great one. But there are some interesting games that

361
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:21.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm eager to wager on, and I know a lot

362
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:24.200
<v Speaker 2>of you like wagering as well, so we can certainly

363
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:25.799
<v Speaker 2>get to that. But before we take a break, I

364
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:27.039
<v Speaker 2>want to go to the text line five O two

365
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:29.640
<v Speaker 2>six five three zero seven nineties the number if you

366
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:32.680
<v Speaker 2>guys would like to text in. I've neglected you guys

367
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:36.000
<v Speaker 2>today and I do want to apologize. But this Tex

368
00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:38.400
<v Speaker 2>says Nick, I'm the last guy to assume that the

369
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:41.799
<v Speaker 2>national pundits aren't giving the Cards enough credit. I honestly

370
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:43.559
<v Speaker 2>feel like our fan base is the worst when it

371
00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:46.519
<v Speaker 2>comes to always thinking people are out to pick on us.

372
00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:49.039
<v Speaker 2>But I will say it seems insane that no one

373
00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:52.640
<v Speaker 2>nationally or even within the ACC is talking about how

374
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:57.079
<v Speaker 2>great Jacory Brooks has been. You know, I don't know

375
00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:01.279
<v Speaker 2>if it's insane that people haven't been talking about it,

376
00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:05.960
<v Speaker 2>but I mean, he does lead the ACC and receiving yards,

377
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:08.680
<v Speaker 2>and I hesitate to like say, yeah, you're right, Why

378
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:10.799
<v Speaker 2>is he not getting more love? Because I don't consume

379
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:15.440
<v Speaker 2>a ton of content, rather it be podcasts or shows

380
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:17.680
<v Speaker 2>on the ACC network, So like he might be getting

381
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:19.119
<v Speaker 2>a lot of love and I'm just not seeing it.

382
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:21.279
<v Speaker 3>But I think, yeah, I mean, he's been one.

383
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:25.079
<v Speaker 2>There can't be many receivers in college football that are

384
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:28.640
<v Speaker 2>at a new school within the power for that have

385
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:32.279
<v Speaker 2>been as productive as he has been. And maybe it's

386
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:36.279
<v Speaker 2>because the first two games were against nobody, but he

387
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:39.240
<v Speaker 2>leads the acc and receiving yards, and he's actually played

388
00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:42.720
<v Speaker 2>his best ball against I mean, he's made his biggest

389
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:45.079
<v Speaker 2>plays in the games that were against real teams, right

390
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.039
<v Speaker 2>Like he was great against Georgia Tech with that spinning

391
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:50.680
<v Speaker 2>around touchdown, and then of course was really good last

392
00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:54.279
<v Speaker 2>week despite you know that costly interception that you know

393
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:58.480
<v Speaker 2>clearly was on him. So I actually think Schuck is

394
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:00.799
<v Speaker 2>in the same boat to where I feel like, you know,

395
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.319
<v Speaker 2>there should be more conversation when you talk acc football

396
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:07.039
<v Speaker 2>about Louisville being a team that you know certainly can

397
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:09.000
<v Speaker 2>can potentially be in the mix to go to Charlotte,

398
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:12.680
<v Speaker 2>and nobody's saying that they can't. But you know, Jeff

399
00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:15.480
<v Speaker 2>brom having a quarterback that looks more like a Jeff

400
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.319
<v Speaker 2>Brown quarterback than Jack Plumber. That stands out to me.

401
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:21.359
<v Speaker 2>But you know what, I think actually hurts that. And

402
00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:25.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, maybe there are numbers out there you guys

403
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:28.480
<v Speaker 2>could show me that prove this wrong. But that game

404
00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:32.000
<v Speaker 2>last week was on Peacock. If you are not a

405
00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:35.839
<v Speaker 2>big Notre Dame fan or a big Louisville fan, you

406
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:38.759
<v Speaker 2>probably didn't watch it. So you can go look at numbers.

407
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:40.440
<v Speaker 2>And again, the numbers are a little misleading. I mean,

408
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Louivill lost the game by a touchdown, and you know,

409
00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:46.519
<v Speaker 2>not to say that the numbers are way off, but

410
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:49.480
<v Speaker 2>like if you watch Tyler shuck, objective viewers would tell

411
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:52.839
<v Speaker 2>you that guy's pretty damn good, but his numbers. You know,

412
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:55.119
<v Speaker 2>that interception, you know, even though it wasn't his fault,

413
00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:57.720
<v Speaker 2>falls on him in the stat sheet, the one that

414
00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:01.240
<v Speaker 2>j Cory Brooks bobbled, and I didn't realize that's the

415
00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:03.920
<v Speaker 2>only interception he has this year, which clearly is not

416
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:07.079
<v Speaker 2>his fault. And at times, you know, and this is

417
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:09.279
<v Speaker 2>what I like about him. Not to say that other

418
00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:13.400
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks wouldn't do this, but he's mature. I don't watch

419
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:16.000
<v Speaker 2>him play feeling like he's worried a whole lot about stats,

420
00:20:16.039 --> 00:20:19.359
<v Speaker 2>and I think he's willing to take calculated risks like

421
00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:20.960
<v Speaker 2>but he's also not afraid to just throw it away

422
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:24.400
<v Speaker 2>and you know, and eat one. And that I think

423
00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:26.640
<v Speaker 2>makes it to where his you know, his completion percentage

424
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.119
<v Speaker 2>is not is not you know, it's not bad, but

425
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:30.799
<v Speaker 2>it's not up there to where he'd be getting a

426
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:33.440
<v Speaker 2>lot of national intentions. So I hear you like, I've

427
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.079
<v Speaker 2>kind of thought that meaning that ja Corey Brooks, And

428
00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:38.759
<v Speaker 2>again I'm throwing shuck in there. I know you didn't

429
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:40.960
<v Speaker 2>mention him, but I think those two guys have been

430
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:44.240
<v Speaker 2>better than advertised as far as you know what we

431
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.200
<v Speaker 2>were expecting before the season started. And they're gonna be

432
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:50.519
<v Speaker 2>needed tomorrow, no doubt. And not to say that a

433
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:53.680
<v Speaker 2>win against SMU would be viewed as a big moment

434
00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:55.680
<v Speaker 2>for Louisville to where they start to be talked about differently.

435
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:58.559
<v Speaker 2>But if you win, you look good doing it. Keep

436
00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:00.440
<v Speaker 2>in mind you're gonna be on ESPN. That's going to

437
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:02.200
<v Speaker 2>just lead you to some more viewers than you would

438
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:04.559
<v Speaker 2>typically get, So maybe that changes after tomorrow.

439
00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:06.119
<v Speaker 3>All right, quick break, don't go anywhere.

440
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:08.440
<v Speaker 2>It's coffee and company rolling along here, five o'clock hour

441
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:14.799
<v Speaker 2>on Sports Talk seven ninety so, before we get into

442
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:18.880
<v Speaker 2>some of these games and give our selections, our wagers

443
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:20.359
<v Speaker 2>for the weekend, because I know that's what you tuned

444
00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:23.319
<v Speaker 2>in for. I mean I say that sarcastically, your best

445
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:26.759
<v Speaker 2>bet would to be do the opposite of what I

446
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:28.559
<v Speaker 2>have been doing lately and what I plan on doing.

447
00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:31.480
<v Speaker 2>But John's the one with the momentum, so I may

448
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:34.319
<v Speaker 2>be educated by his picks that he's about to share

449
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:36.240
<v Speaker 2>with us. But before see, but before we do that,

450
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:38.799
<v Speaker 2>I want to give a shout out to my stepdad

451
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:41.880
<v Speaker 2>John and his crew of friends who they're doing something

452
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.039
<v Speaker 2>this weekend that I think is really cool and I

453
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:48.160
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be shocked if, like others knew about it, they would.

454
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:48.599
<v Speaker 3>Want to do it too.

455
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:53.359
<v Speaker 2>So, you know, he's he's in his early sixties and

456
00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:55.759
<v Speaker 2>he has a core of core group of friends that

457
00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:59.200
<v Speaker 2>have been really close since like high school, you know,

458
00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:01.559
<v Speaker 2>And actually, I think that's kind of rare, to be

459
00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:04.119
<v Speaker 2>honest with you. You know, maybe that's not as rare

460
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:06.559
<v Speaker 2>as I think, but you know, he and his closest

461
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:08.359
<v Speaker 2>friends from high school that he grew up with like

462
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:12.200
<v Speaker 2>forty years later, they still forty plus years later, not

463
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:14.359
<v Speaker 2>to make them feel old, but they still go on

464
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:17.680
<v Speaker 2>a few trips together whenever they can every year, and

465
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:20.039
<v Speaker 2>they do an event that is coming up this weekend

466
00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:23.599
<v Speaker 2>that's called the he Man. The he Man is where

467
00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:27.559
<v Speaker 2>most of these guys and then a few others that

468
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:29.799
<v Speaker 2>are just friends, like not necessarily the core group of

469
00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:31.839
<v Speaker 2>friends that have known each other forever, but just you

470
00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:34.119
<v Speaker 2>know guys. They hang out with guys that will be

471
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:36.000
<v Speaker 2>interested in. What they do is at my mom and

472
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:40.200
<v Speaker 2>stepdad's house. Every year they have like a competition and

473
00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:42.920
<v Speaker 2>the different things that they do, and like each year

474
00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:45.839
<v Speaker 2>there's a winner. So they've got like a mountain bike course.

475
00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:48.960
<v Speaker 2>He's got a great setup in his backyard where they've

476
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:51.680
<v Speaker 2>got you know, a bunch of space and trails and

477
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:54.160
<v Speaker 2>you can do there's a mountain bike course, and they

478
00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:57.759
<v Speaker 2>time the event so like whoever gets the best time

479
00:22:57.960 --> 00:22:59.960
<v Speaker 2>as far as going through the course, you know, they're

480
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:02.519
<v Speaker 2>a winner of that event, and you and everybody's time

481
00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:06.880
<v Speaker 2>is tracked. They also have you know, knocking bottles off

482
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:09.920
<v Speaker 2>stands with frisbees, which is a timed event, like you've

483
00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:11.799
<v Speaker 2>got you know, certain number of bottles that you just

484
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:13.680
<v Speaker 2>try to knock down with frisbees, and whoever can get

485
00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:15.880
<v Speaker 2>it done and the quickest amount of time, you know,

486
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:17.960
<v Speaker 2>they end up being the winner of that. They've got

487
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:22.000
<v Speaker 2>an obstacle course, a golf tee shot where they use

488
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:24.079
<v Speaker 2>the back and again works out perfect where he's got

489
00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:26.920
<v Speaker 2>so much space in the backyard. It's not even really

490
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:29.039
<v Speaker 2>a backyard, it's just a huge plot of land. But

491
00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:30.720
<v Speaker 2>they have a golf tea shot where if you. You know,

492
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:33.039
<v Speaker 2>the closest person to the pole ends up winning. Everybody

493
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:35.279
<v Speaker 2>takes a shot, they do a tractor pull where they're

494
00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:38.119
<v Speaker 2>pulling his cup cadet up the driveway, and again whoever

495
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:40.200
<v Speaker 2>can do it in the quickest time. They've got a

496
00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:45.000
<v Speaker 2>hatchet toss, fishing pole casting, like whoever can get closest

497
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:47.720
<v Speaker 2>to the pole, air rifle contest. There's all kinds of

498
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:50.200
<v Speaker 2>stuff they do, and you know, you get certain points

499
00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:52.119
<v Speaker 2>for how you do in each of the events, and

500
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:54.480
<v Speaker 2>there's a winner, you know, second place, third place and

501
00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:56.640
<v Speaker 2>all that, and they do it every year. I think

502
00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:58.759
<v Speaker 2>this is maybe the fourth or fifth year they've done it,

503
00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:01.119
<v Speaker 2>and I think it's cool as hell. And I hope

504
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:02.799
<v Speaker 2>when I get older, me and my friends do the

505
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:04.720
<v Speaker 2>same thing, because one, it's a chance to get together

506
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:06.720
<v Speaker 2>with the with the fellas and have you know, have

507
00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:08.640
<v Speaker 2>a day, and you don't, you know, you don't get

508
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:10.680
<v Speaker 2>a chance to do that as much whenever you get older.

509
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:13.720
<v Speaker 2>Most of these guys who have children now are grandfathers,

510
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:16.119
<v Speaker 2>to be honest with you, but you know, I know,

511
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:17.720
<v Speaker 2>I know, I know we wouldn't have the time to

512
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:19.400
<v Speaker 2>do it now with everything going on in our lives.

513
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:21.200
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I'm a lot younger than my stepdad

514
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:23.920
<v Speaker 2>and his friends. But you know, and it's it's it's competition,

515
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:26.799
<v Speaker 2>and competition is healthy for every human being. And you know,

516
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:29.759
<v Speaker 2>they take it serious, but also it's a lot of fun.

517
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:31.960
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I'm envious.

518
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:33.319
<v Speaker 3>I hope that sounds bads.

519
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:35.200
<v Speaker 2>It's awesome, man, it really is, like and they've you know,

520
00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:37.880
<v Speaker 2>they've done it many years now to where there's a

521
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:39.839
<v Speaker 2>big banner that gets put up and.

522
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:41.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's it's really cool.

523
00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:45.200
<v Speaker 2>So best of luck to the to the Fellas on

524
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.119
<v Speaker 2>Sunday for the for the annual he Man at the

525
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Donahue Headquarters. And yeah, I mean I I could tell

526
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:53.920
<v Speaker 2>you some of the some of the things like I

527
00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:55.559
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't do well at has nothing to do with age.

528
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:58.480
<v Speaker 2>It's just like I wouldn't be somebody who would probably

529
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:01.039
<v Speaker 2>finish in the top ten. If there are ten people,

530
00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:02.920
<v Speaker 2>maybe I would finish top ten. But like the whole

531
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:04.400
<v Speaker 2>fishing pole thing, I don't know how to do that,

532
00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:06.960
<v Speaker 2>but if I was competing, I would want to learn

533
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:09.119
<v Speaker 2>how because I would want to win. So I just

534
00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:12.200
<v Speaker 2>thought that was really cool and I would encourage others

535
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:14.000
<v Speaker 2>out there. You know, if you you know, if you

536
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:16.400
<v Speaker 2>want to be active, have fun, compete, and just make

537
00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:17.640
<v Speaker 2>it a day where you get to hang out with

538
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:19.480
<v Speaker 2>your friends, maybe friends you don't get to see that often.

539
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:21.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's some people that don't live around here

540
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:23.720
<v Speaker 2>that come in every year for it, travel because you know,

541
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:25.799
<v Speaker 2>it's just become like an annual thing where they get together,

542
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:28.559
<v Speaker 2>have fun, compete, and you know, spend time together. So

543
00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:32.400
<v Speaker 2>best of luck to those fellas on Sunday afternoon.

544
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:33.400
<v Speaker 3>All right.

545
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:37.160
<v Speaker 2>I have somebody asked me earlier in the show, and

546
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:40.039
<v Speaker 2>then somebody just asked once again, different person about like

547
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:41.920
<v Speaker 2>what I think of Louisville's game as far as the

548
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:46.079
<v Speaker 2>spread I have, I'm not going to touch this game.

549
00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:47.559
<v Speaker 2>I haven't bet on a Louisville game this year, to

550
00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:50.279
<v Speaker 2>be honest with you. But Louisville Mine is six and

551
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:51.079
<v Speaker 2>a half right now.

552
00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:55.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean I haven't even given any thought. I just

553
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:56.480
<v Speaker 3>want Louisville to win like this.

554
00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:58.799
<v Speaker 2>You need to bounce back in such a way that

555
00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:00.359
<v Speaker 2>this is not a game I've thought about in any

556
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:03.000
<v Speaker 2>way when it comes to like a wagering perspective. But

557
00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:06.799
<v Speaker 2>for what it's worth, we can look here at sports

558
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:10.559
<v Speaker 2>Line and see what the public's doing here when they're

559
00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:14.039
<v Speaker 2>wagering on this game, because you know, this only speaks

560
00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:18.039
<v Speaker 2>to the pretty weak slate of games we have here

561
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:19.839
<v Speaker 2>as far as the matchups. But this is probably a

562
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:22.000
<v Speaker 2>top five game of the of the of the week

563
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:26.400
<v Speaker 2>because SMUs just got one loss on the year, right

564
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:30.240
<v Speaker 2>outside the top twenty five. That only losses to BYU

565
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.480
<v Speaker 2>and then Louisville their top twenty five teams still, so

566
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:35.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean that'll I mean it's a top twenty five

567
00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:38.480
<v Speaker 2>team playing a team that's right outside the top twenty five,

568
00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:41.079
<v Speaker 2>which again comparatively speaking, that's actually that makes it one

569
00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:45.680
<v Speaker 2>of the better games. But right now the spread at

570
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:50.039
<v Speaker 2>six and a half, seventy seven percent of the money

571
00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:54.680
<v Speaker 2>is on Louisville to cover and fifty six percent, So

572
00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:58.319
<v Speaker 2>there's more, there's more, like the money, and this is

573
00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:01.960
<v Speaker 2>usually what screams there's like a handful of big bets,

574
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.680
<v Speaker 2>probably because the public as far as just you know,

575
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:06.920
<v Speaker 2>not the amount of money, but just those making any

576
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:09.440
<v Speaker 2>type of wager doesn't have anything to do with the

577
00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:13.720
<v Speaker 2>monetary side of it, just what they're betting. Are they

578
00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:16.880
<v Speaker 2>picking them to cover or not. More people have SMU

579
00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:19.400
<v Speaker 2>covering when it comes to just wagering, but the money

580
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:23.960
<v Speaker 2>seventy seven percent is on Louisville to cover, but fifty

581
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:26.359
<v Speaker 2>six percent has SMU. As far as just the public

582
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:31.319
<v Speaker 2>betting so money line, only three percent of the money

583
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:34.359
<v Speaker 2>is on SMU. Only four percent of the public is

584
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:37.039
<v Speaker 2>on SMU, So again, Louisville is expected to win. If

585
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:39.720
<v Speaker 2>you and if you're somebody who likes to do over

586
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:42.960
<v Speaker 2>unders rather than spreads or money line, the total is

587
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:47.039
<v Speaker 2>fifty six and a half and eighty three percent of

588
00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:49.279
<v Speaker 2>the money is on the over and sixty seven percent

589
00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:51.160
<v Speaker 2>of the of the public is on the over.

590
00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:53.119
<v Speaker 3>So there you go. Was this one? Was this on

591
00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:53.720
<v Speaker 3>your card at all?

592
00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Jobs was not?

593
00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:56.319
<v Speaker 4>If I were taking it, though, I think I'd take

594
00:27:56.359 --> 00:27:58.160
<v Speaker 4>Louisville to bounce back in a big way after the

595
00:27:58.200 --> 00:27:59.279
<v Speaker 4>way they lost last week.

596
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's hard to mention like trends with bron because

597
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:05.839
<v Speaker 2>he's only in his second season. But you know, they

598
00:28:05.839 --> 00:28:08.559
<v Speaker 2>only lost one home game last year, and that was

599
00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:11.799
<v Speaker 2>of course to you know who, and they came off

600
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:15.920
<v Speaker 2>that Pittsburgh loss and demolished Duke and beat them twenty

601
00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:19.480
<v Speaker 2>three or twenty six to nothing. So I would I

602
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:21.119
<v Speaker 2>expect him to bounce back. But you know, they got

603
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:22.440
<v Speaker 2>to actually go out there and do it before we

604
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:25.119
<v Speaker 2>know for sure, if you know, because this will be

605
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:29.039
<v Speaker 2>a telling game for them for themselves, right Like, I

606
00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:33.400
<v Speaker 2>think a sluggish performance here wouldn't be the worst thing

607
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:34.839
<v Speaker 2>in the world. If you can still hold on and win,

608
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:37.440
<v Speaker 2>maybe it means Semu's pretty good. However, I kind of

609
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:40.119
<v Speaker 2>feel like, you know, they need to convince themselves, hey,

610
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:42.440
<v Speaker 2>we can play a clean game of football.

611
00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:42.880
<v Speaker 3>All right.

612
00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:44.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna let you go first here and tell me

613
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:46.920
<v Speaker 2>what the first leg of your parlay is.

614
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:50.240
<v Speaker 4>All right, I'm starting with Iowa State to cover minus

615
00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:52.839
<v Speaker 4>ten and a half against Baylor. Iowa State's unbeaten so

616
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:55.240
<v Speaker 4>far this year. The Baylor team they're going up against

617
00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:57.960
<v Speaker 4>two and three in Iowa State. In all but one

618
00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:00.359
<v Speaker 4>of the games they've played in so far, they taking

619
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:02.839
<v Speaker 4>care of business fairly easy North Dakota twenty one to three,

620
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:06.799
<v Speaker 4>Arkansas Arkansas State excuse me, fifty two to seven. Then

621
00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:09.480
<v Speaker 4>last week against Houston twenty to nothing. The other game

622
00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:11.319
<v Speaker 4>they won was against Iowa on the road. They won

623
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:14.160
<v Speaker 4>by one point. But I think so far Iowa State

624
00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:16.480
<v Speaker 4>has kind of bounced back under Matt Campbell, and I

625
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:19.000
<v Speaker 4>think this is a pretty safe bet.

626
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:20.480
<v Speaker 5>When it comes to covering this spread here this week.

627
00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:21.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I like it.

628
00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:25.359
<v Speaker 2>I think BYU, I mean I thought Dave Verronda their

629
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:27.359
<v Speaker 2>head coach. I thought he was a future star. I mean,

630
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:29.319
<v Speaker 2>he had a really good first year or maybe it

631
00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:32.319
<v Speaker 2>was his second year at Baylor, and I believe he

632
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:36.000
<v Speaker 2>turned down interest from LSU because of how you know,

633
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:37.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if they offered him the job, but

634
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:39.759
<v Speaker 2>it was a known thing that like he was going

635
00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:43.039
<v Speaker 2>to stay at Baylor after a big start, and man,

636
00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:45.079
<v Speaker 2>it has not worked out well for him since then.

637
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.559
<v Speaker 2>They're a bad football team. So yeah, I think that's

638
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:50.599
<v Speaker 2>a good pick. And Iowa State, you know, I kind

639
00:29:50.599 --> 00:29:53.200
<v Speaker 2>of felt like the latest example of a coach that

640
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:56.039
<v Speaker 2>should have left when he had the chance was Matt

641
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:58.319
<v Speaker 2>was him because Iowa State it's not a great job.

642
00:29:58.559 --> 00:30:00.039
<v Speaker 2>He made them relevant in a way they've never have

643
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:02.119
<v Speaker 2>been relevant before. They actually had some really good seasons

644
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:03.319
<v Speaker 2>under him, at least a couple of them.

645
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:05.079
<v Speaker 3>I shuldn't. They don't think they had a lot of them.

646
00:30:05.079 --> 00:30:07.359
<v Speaker 2>But either way, great season or not, they've been a

647
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:10.000
<v Speaker 2>lot better under him than they've typically been. And I

648
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:12.160
<v Speaker 2>thought maybe he would be the guy that like eventually

649
00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:14.200
<v Speaker 2>ends up getting fired there because it just you know,

650
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:16.799
<v Speaker 2>ran its course, but off to a good start. And obviously,

651
00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:19.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, a win against Iowa means a lot to them.

652
00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:21.640
<v Speaker 2>So they're four, and oh, I think that's a I

653
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:24.480
<v Speaker 2>think that's a good pick. Here's one that I feel

654
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:27.960
<v Speaker 2>I feel pretty good about. And this isn't like, uh,

655
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:30.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm not going to take him to cover,

656
00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:32.400
<v Speaker 2>but I'm going to take Texas A and M money line.

657
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:36.039
<v Speaker 2>I think Missouri could potentially be a big time fraud.

658
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:39.960
<v Speaker 2>And I know last year they really had a strong season.

659
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:42.920
<v Speaker 2>They beat Ohio State in a bowl game and that

660
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:45.000
<v Speaker 2>means a lot. But like Ohio State, let's be real,

661
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:47.720
<v Speaker 2>all the NFL guys, because Ohio State missed the playoff,

662
00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:50.359
<v Speaker 2>didn't didn't play in that game, so they got a

663
00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:53.400
<v Speaker 2>lot of momentum from that. And you can't control, you know,

664
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:56.160
<v Speaker 2>any of that stuff. But like they barely hung on

665
00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:59.880
<v Speaker 2>to beat Vandy, who lost to Georgia State, meaning Van

666
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:04.279
<v Speaker 2>Boston College should have beat them. Buffalo is terrible. They

667
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:06.519
<v Speaker 2>beat them thirty eight nothing. They beat Murray State fifty

668
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:09.400
<v Speaker 2>to nothing. So I mean, the only teams they've played

669
00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:11.519
<v Speaker 2>that are like in fact, no, like I was gonna

670
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:13.119
<v Speaker 2>say the only teams they played that are decent, they've

671
00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:15.799
<v Speaker 2>really struggled. No, because I don't think Vandy's decent. I

672
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:18.920
<v Speaker 2>mean they're not. I mean maybe in a different world,

673
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:20.960
<v Speaker 2>but like Vandy still Vandy, and they barely beat them.

674
00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:23.960
<v Speaker 2>So I think at home, I'm tempted to take A

675
00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:26.640
<v Speaker 2>and M to cover because they are favorites. But I'm

676
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:28.200
<v Speaker 2>just gonna take A and M money line.

677
00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:29.400
<v Speaker 3>What else you like?

678
00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:32.599
<v Speaker 4>I like air for excuse me, Navy to cover against

679
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:35.079
<v Speaker 4>Air Force Navy again. Four and oh going against a

680
00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:37.279
<v Speaker 4>really bad air Force team that has a loss to

681
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:39.839
<v Speaker 4>a believe Wyoming who's also a terrible team this year.

682
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:42.039
<v Speaker 4>I lost to a bad Baylor team that already mentioned

683
00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:44.519
<v Speaker 4>the lost to San Jose State, and the spreads only

684
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:47.079
<v Speaker 4>at minus ten for an undefeated Navy team, And I

685
00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:49.400
<v Speaker 4>feel like this could be another free money game.

686
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:50.640
<v Speaker 5>If you're wagering on this.

687
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:53.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I that's just so you know, And I hope

688
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:55.839
<v Speaker 2>this doesn't make you feel anyway. That's been a trendy pick,

689
00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:57.599
<v Speaker 2>so like, okay, I think that's usually that makes people

690
00:31:57.640 --> 00:32:00.279
<v Speaker 2>feel good, but some people are like, oh, now's the up. Yeah,

691
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:04.279
<v Speaker 2>now I'm worried. So this is I mean, I have

692
00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:07.000
<v Speaker 2>no choice but to fade Florida State. They are as

693
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:10.720
<v Speaker 2>down as you could possibly be. They've hit fade territory.

694
00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Their only win on the year is a nine to

695
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:17.000
<v Speaker 2>fourteen win against Cal, where they scored fourteen points. I mean,

696
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:20.680
<v Speaker 2>they are an absolute dumpster fire. And some may say

697
00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:24.599
<v Speaker 2>that they could be better without Dju playing because he's hurt,

698
00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:27.319
<v Speaker 2>but either way, they're awful.

699
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:27.960
<v Speaker 3>They know it.

700
00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:30.720
<v Speaker 2>They've played five games. Now, keep in mind they started

701
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:33.359
<v Speaker 2>their season in a week zero. Each week they go

702
00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:35.319
<v Speaker 2>out there, they get embarrassed. Even when they beat Cal,

703
00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:38.920
<v Speaker 2>it's still embarrassing because of what their expectations were. Clemson,

704
00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:42.559
<v Speaker 2>I think they win this thing by twenty four. They're

705
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:45.680
<v Speaker 2>only favored by fourteen and a half. That's that's my

706
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:47.359
<v Speaker 2>favorite pick. I just think a good one. I think

707
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:49.799
<v Speaker 2>Clemson is going to bury them. Clemson is worried about

708
00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:52.680
<v Speaker 2>style points. They are worried about perception because of their

709
00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:55.039
<v Speaker 2>embarrassing loss to George as far as the margin, and

710
00:32:55.079 --> 00:32:57.680
<v Speaker 2>they've been playing really good football in Florida State's the

711
00:32:57.759 --> 00:32:59.839
<v Speaker 2>kind of team that right now, if you get down

712
00:32:59.880 --> 00:33:03.240
<v Speaker 2>a couple of scores, you're dead, cause you know, the

713
00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:05.680
<v Speaker 2>human element is so strong that you're going to be

714
00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:07.920
<v Speaker 2>licking your wounds. After a couple of scores, there's not

715
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:10.319
<v Speaker 2>going to be any anything within for you to dig

716
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:12.680
<v Speaker 2>deep and fight back, climb out of the hole. I

717
00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:15.920
<v Speaker 2>think Dabbo runs up the score on Mike Norvell.

718
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:17.640
<v Speaker 5>That's a good one. You got me wish and I

719
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:18.279
<v Speaker 5>included that one.

720
00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:19.640
<v Speaker 3>Now you can really well you can, you know you

721
00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:20.920
<v Speaker 3>can do a side one that's true.

722
00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:22.319
<v Speaker 5>I may do that first. I'll go ahead and mention

723
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:23.160
<v Speaker 5>my side real quick.

724
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:25.599
<v Speaker 4>And this is something that maybe I don't know if

725
00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:27.799
<v Speaker 4>you mentioned this, but somebody that comes on the show

726
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:30.119
<v Speaker 4>mentions his lock of the week and that's Indiana.

727
00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:30.680
<v Speaker 5>Minus to there we go.

728
00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:32.839
<v Speaker 4>But that's also a hard pick for me, so I'm

729
00:33:32.839 --> 00:33:34.119
<v Speaker 4>not including that in the three liquor.

730
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:34.960
<v Speaker 5>It's a separate bet.

731
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:37.799
<v Speaker 2>We didn't get a chance to chat with Brian because

732
00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:40.400
<v Speaker 2>of my issues with the schedule today, but he did

733
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:42.599
<v Speaker 2>share his picks with me, and he's really really high

734
00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:45.599
<v Speaker 2>on Indiana cover in thirteen and a half. And I mean,

735
00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:48.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't mean I was going to say I'm surprised

736
00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:50.319
<v Speaker 2>they're favored by that much. But no, look at how

737
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:52.279
<v Speaker 2>they've played this year. I mean, they deserve to be

738
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:53.839
<v Speaker 2>favored by that much. What is your other what's the

739
00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:54.240
<v Speaker 2>other legs?

740
00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:57.279
<v Speaker 4>My final leg is Miami minus ten against California. I

741
00:33:57.319 --> 00:33:59.160
<v Speaker 4>know California is getting a lot of love for the

742
00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:01.440
<v Speaker 4>way that they've kind of care married themselves on social media,

743
00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:03.160
<v Speaker 4>and kudos to them, but I think this is the

744
00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:06.200
<v Speaker 4>week that California gets a reality check against the Hurricanes.

745
00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:09.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and Miami, you know they should be They won

746
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:12.360
<v Speaker 2>last week despite some controversy. I mean, I don't know

747
00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:14.320
<v Speaker 2>how controversial it was, but you know, that was a

748
00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:15.880
<v Speaker 2>game they could have easily lost, and they know it.

749
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:19.039
<v Speaker 2>They've got a lot on the line. And here's the facts.

750
00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:21.599
<v Speaker 2>They're way better, Like, they're way more talented than cal

751
00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:24.239
<v Speaker 2>cal has just been cute, right, and it's been fun

752
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:26.599
<v Speaker 2>to see them make fun of themselves. The woke first

753
00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Coke is pretty funny, but like I'm with you, I

754
00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:31.280
<v Speaker 2>think I think it's probably pretty ugly tomorrow.

755
00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:31.559
<v Speaker 5>All right.

756
00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:34.039
<v Speaker 2>My last you know one that I'm gonna throw out there,

757
00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:35.840
<v Speaker 2>as far as feeling pretty good about one that I've

758
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:39.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, dare I say done some research on Ole

759
00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:46.239
<v Speaker 2>Miss in South Carolina. I'm gonna take South Carolina plus

760
00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:49.119
<v Speaker 2>eight and a half because I just think they're gonna

761
00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:51.800
<v Speaker 2>have the They're at home, and by the way, they

762
00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:54.079
<v Speaker 2>have a It was said before the season started that

763
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:55.599
<v Speaker 2>they have the most by one of the guys I

764
00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:58.599
<v Speaker 2>follow on CBS Sports, Josh Pate, that Williams Brice Stadium

765
00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:01.800
<v Speaker 2>is one of the most underrated atmospheres in college football.

766
00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:04.199
<v Speaker 2>And this South Carolina team, again, they should have lost

767
00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:06.760
<v Speaker 2>to Old Dominion. At the beginning of the season. They

768
00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:10.360
<v Speaker 2>had a heartbreaking loss to LSU where they probably should

769
00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:12.320
<v Speaker 2>have won. There was a questionable call there. I mean,

770
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:14.719
<v Speaker 2>they carried that momentum from the UK game in and

771
00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:17.039
<v Speaker 2>just came up short against LSU, a game that you

772
00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:19.280
<v Speaker 2>can without a questionable call, they probably would have won.

773
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:21.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying Old Missus frauds. I'm not saying that

774
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.280
<v Speaker 2>they're you know that they're gonna end up having a

775
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:29.000
<v Speaker 2>terrible season because Kentucky beat them. However, I think that,

776
00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:32.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's more about my confidence that South Carolina's defense,

777
00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:35.760
<v Speaker 2>their front seven, will be able to slow this Old

778
00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:38.880
<v Speaker 2>Miss team down offensively. And again I'm not saying they'll

779
00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:40.519
<v Speaker 2>win but they're getting a lot of points at home,

780
00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:43.320
<v Speaker 2>so I'm taking South Carolina plus eight and a half.

781
00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:44.760
<v Speaker 2>All right, we gotta run quick break. We'll come back

782
00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:46.079
<v Speaker 2>and wrap this up on the other side. Give it

783
00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:50.519
<v Speaker 2>a lock right here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Another

784
00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:53.719
<v Speaker 2>reminder that tomorrow, tomorrow morning, it's another noon or so,

785
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:56.599
<v Speaker 2>we will start things at eleven o'clock the Louisville football

786
00:35:56.639 --> 00:35:57.800
<v Speaker 2>pregame show.

787
00:35:57.599 --> 00:35:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Hosted by Yours Truly. We'll start.

788
00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:03.159
<v Speaker 2>It's presented by Jefferson Animal Hospital and Pillow Windows and

789
00:36:03.159 --> 00:36:06.239
<v Speaker 2>Doors of Central Kentucky, and then we'll get it started

790
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:09.159
<v Speaker 2>once again right after the game ends as we react

791
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:13.599
<v Speaker 2>to whatever it is that happens. I'm hopeful that it's

792
00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:17.039
<v Speaker 2>a celebration. And look not to say that, you know,

793
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:19.559
<v Speaker 2>win means we're gonna be partying, but it's needed, not

794
00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:22.239
<v Speaker 2>only because you want to get that bad taste out

795
00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:25.599
<v Speaker 2>of your mouth from Notre Dame, but also it's it's

796
00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:27.679
<v Speaker 2>a conference game. And I think right now as we speak,

797
00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:29.599
<v Speaker 2>we'll see maybe we're way wrong. Maybe a month later

798
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:31.440
<v Speaker 2>it looks a lot different, but you know, right now,

799
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:33.039
<v Speaker 2>when you look at Louisville schedule, they still have to

800
00:36:33.079 --> 00:36:34.719
<v Speaker 2>play the two best teams in this league, and that's

801
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:38.559
<v Speaker 2>Clemson and Florida State, or not Florida State, but Clemson

802
00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:40.840
<v Speaker 2>and Miami. But other than that, I would say that

803
00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:43.119
<v Speaker 2>this is gonna be your best opponent in league play,

804
00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:47.519
<v Speaker 2>so there would be some real value there. All right, everybody,

805
00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:50.280
<v Speaker 2>have a good weekend, John, and good luck on your parlay.

806
00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:52.719
<v Speaker 2>I guess we'll talk tomorrow. Yeah, we'll be talking tomorrow,

807
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:55.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of seeing how it's looking. So have a good weekend, everybody.

808
00:36:55.920 --> 00:37:02.599
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'll see it. Louisville liive, take care. They
