00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:13.439
<v Speaker 1>It's time for Coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:15.199
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven ninety.

3
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:17.519
<v Speaker 2>Holy crap, I don't know who the hell we think

4
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:20.719
<v Speaker 2>when we are get off our show, idiot.

5
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:22.600
<v Speaker 1>The kids are crying or tearing off, crying.

6
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Our countries are.

7
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Screwing it up. Gold Play Inner Murals, Brother, gold Play

8
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Inn Murals. They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're

9
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>really not. Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here?

10
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:34.799
<v Speaker 1>Are you kidding me?

11
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:35.759
<v Speaker 2>Now?

12
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Here's Nick Coffee. I have to admit I am a

13
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:47.079
<v Speaker 1>little surprised, although happy, that we here at Sports Talk

14
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>seven ninety have gotten into the Christmas spirit. Not with

15
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:52.399
<v Speaker 1>just you know what we're bringing to the table here

16
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.479
<v Speaker 1>on the airwaves with myself, Nick Coffee and Austin Montgomery,

17
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:57.719
<v Speaker 1>but how about those little liners we've got in there

18
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>wishing everybody a merry Chris is in a happy holiday.

19
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean that that's that's a nice touch, I think.

20
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:06.359
<v Speaker 1>But before the show started, right before the show started,

21
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:09.359
<v Speaker 1>the latest one, Austin said, Seasons Greetings. Have you ever

22
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:10.519
<v Speaker 1>once said that to somebody?

23
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:11.879
<v Speaker 2>Seasons Greetings?

24
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:13.799
<v Speaker 1>No? I mean, I gotta be honest with you, and

25
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:15.879
<v Speaker 1>I think I brought this up at one point over

26
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:18.799
<v Speaker 1>the years, as I now kind of lose track of

27
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:21.959
<v Speaker 1>things I've discussed because I've been almost up to nine

28
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 1>years now that i've been here at Sports Talk seven ninety.

29
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>But nonetheless, I know it's come up before. I just

30
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>don't remember when. But seasons greetings like no, like, don't

31
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:32.439
<v Speaker 1>hit me with that. I mean, I know you mean well,

32
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>but like there's just something that's not like, that's not

33
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.400
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't that doesn't hit the radar as far as

34
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>like being a Christmas greeting. I mean, happy Holidays, Merry Christmas.

35
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm way more of a Merry Christmas guy than anything.

36
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:47.719
<v Speaker 2>But I guess I've fallen into the PC trap over

37
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.920
<v Speaker 2>the last few years, like we know what holiday we're celebrating.

38
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 1>He couldn't, I mean, wouldn't you agree that, like the

39
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:54.680
<v Speaker 1>ultimate one is Merry Christmas?

40
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.959
<v Speaker 2>Yes? Absolutely, you don't want to offend anybody, you.

41
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.959
<v Speaker 1>Know, Yeah, I mean happy Holidays is is fine. Yeah,

42
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:03.519
<v Speaker 1>But I'm just trying to think of like if I

43
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.159
<v Speaker 1>was if that wasn't a thing meaning Merry Christmas, which

44
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:09.199
<v Speaker 1>it always will be, but like if I had a secondary,

45
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.240
<v Speaker 1>like a backup to you know, throw out there. I

46
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't go Season's greetings, and I don't really know what

47
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I would go with, probably happy Holidays or I mean,

48
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm just looking here at a list. I just googled quickly,

49
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 1>and there's not a whole lot out.

50
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 2>There, you know, nice seas like decorations and stuff like that.

51
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:29.879
<v Speaker 2>It's just corny. But I'm not gonna say it to somebody.

52
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 1>That's a good point. I think seasons greetings could could

53
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:36.039
<v Speaker 1>pass in and you know, if it's on the you know,

54
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 1>the the thing your mom hangs up on the wall

55
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Christmas time in a dormant like if I like, if

56
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.879
<v Speaker 1>I meet somebody and i'm you know, like today I

57
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.159
<v Speaker 1>had lunch with my wife and uh nice the white.

58
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>The wife and I were on our way out and

59
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>our waitress said, uh uh, take care of heavy. Good day,

60
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>and I said, you too, Merry Christmas. Like it just

61
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:55.919
<v Speaker 1>it's just a natural thing. If I'd have said season's greeting,

62
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:59.680
<v Speaker 1>she probably would have walked over to the table and

63
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:02.159
<v Speaker 1>just would have been anticipating a bad tip, because that's

64
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:04.319
<v Speaker 1>just it's not good energy. And she got a good

65
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>tip because I'm a pretty good tipper, I think, And

66
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.599
<v Speaker 1>at least. But I actually I'm a paranoid tipper. Like

67
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>I do what I think is fair, and I usually

68
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 1>tend to go on the twenty percent side, especially if

69
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.199
<v Speaker 1>the service is good. But you know, I'm worried like

70
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 1>that the one day the standard tipping percentage is just

71
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna like go up and nobody's gonna tell me, and

72
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna be viewed as some bad tipper, although

73
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:31.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think some tipping etiquette. You know, there's

74
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:34.719
<v Speaker 1>a lot of differing opinions on what is right, what's wrong,

75
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.840
<v Speaker 1>what's fair, that kind of stuff. But anyways, seasons, greetings, everybody,

76
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.520
<v Speaker 1>welcome in Happy hump Day. It's coffee and Company. As

81
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>live at seven ninety Louisville dot com. One week away

82
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>from Christmas and just a couple of days away from

83
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:01.199
<v Speaker 1>our first college football playoff game, and I mean I've

84
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:05.159
<v Speaker 1>been jacked for this first ever twelve team playoffs since

85
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:07.879
<v Speaker 1>we knew we were getting it, and throughout the season

86
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:09.199
<v Speaker 1>it just kind of felt like with they're being so

87
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.039
<v Speaker 1>much parody and really they're not being a clear team

88
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:13.680
<v Speaker 1>that you feel like is the best team in the country.

89
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I just knew it was going to be

90
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.560
<v Speaker 1>great regardless of how the bracket shaped up, and here

91
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 1>we are with some really awesome matchups. But it kind

92
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:21.879
<v Speaker 1>of hit me today like out of nowhere, Oh wow,

93
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>this is happening, like it's this weekend, and it's because

94
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:25.319
<v Speaker 1>it's the first time. We don't usually I mean, we've

95
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.639
<v Speaker 1>never been in this position where we are about to

96
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.800
<v Speaker 1>watch over two days time for college football playoff games

97
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.680
<v Speaker 1>on home fields. I mean, the atmosphere should be great

98
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna watch. I don't really have any real

99
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:41.759
<v Speaker 1>preference here. Like, by the way, let me ask you this, Sauston,

100
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:43.639
<v Speaker 1>of the twelve teams left, like is there a team

101
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 1>that you I mean, I'm sure there's not a team

102
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.160
<v Speaker 1>left that you're like all in on, but like, who

103
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:50.879
<v Speaker 1>take wagering out of it? Who would you like to

104
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:52.600
<v Speaker 1>see when the champ If you could pick one team

105
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>of these twelve to be the national champion, who would

106
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:54.959
<v Speaker 1>you want it to be?

107
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:59.199
<v Speaker 2>I knew a company guy might love me for it,

108
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:00.439
<v Speaker 2>but I'm cheering on Indiana.

109
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.079
<v Speaker 1>Hell yeah, I know you're going to say that, but

110
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:02.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you, brother.

111
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm cheering on and in a way other people

112
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:07.160
<v Speaker 2>might hate me. Good story. Yeah, they're a great story.

113
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.759
<v Speaker 2>And as much as I hate their coach, I would

114
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:11.560
<v Speaker 2>kind of like to see Ohio State kind of get it,

115
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.920
<v Speaker 2>just because I know they're a program that's been devoid

116
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:15.759
<v Speaker 2>of it for I wanted to say for so long,

117
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.160
<v Speaker 2>because didn't they went like the first playoff with Ezekiel

118
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 2>Elliott whenever they first had the playoff.

119
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was on that team. But yes,

120
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>they did end up getting the first one. It was

121
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.079
<v Speaker 1>Urban's only title there, I believe.

122
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:27.959
<v Speaker 2>And I can I can totally see them with all

123
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.639
<v Speaker 2>the disrespect and surely because they kind of craft the

124
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.040
<v Speaker 2>bet against Michigan, that would be kind of nice, but

125
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.879
<v Speaker 2>not like I'm this just this big, big ten homer.

126
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.399
<v Speaker 2>But I would love to see Indiana do it, and

127
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:40.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm definitely gonna betting on them. And it hit me

128
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.639
<v Speaker 2>the same one. I was driving into work today, I'm like,

129
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.319
<v Speaker 2>holy crap, we actually got the playoffs start, and that's

130
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.560
<v Speaker 2>because I was thinking about betting, and I'm like, what's

131
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:49.879
<v Speaker 2>going on this weekend? That that's right? The playoffs.

132
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:53.800
<v Speaker 1>It's awesome flat night. It's our first game Indiana Notre Dame,

133
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.120
<v Speaker 1>and we can get into it a little bit later

134
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.720
<v Speaker 1>on in the week. But I just I understand that

135
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame would be favored here, and I understand that

136
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:05.600
<v Speaker 1>nobody really thinks Indiana is worthy of being here, or

137
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:07.839
<v Speaker 1>maybe they don't believe that. It's that they're not worthy.

138
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:09.839
<v Speaker 1>They just don't think that they're any good because of

139
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:11.480
<v Speaker 1>the way their schedule sets up. And that's not a

140
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.319
<v Speaker 1>crazy take to have, because unfortunately, there really isn't enough

141
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 1>data against you know, a real test, real test essentially,

142
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:19.079
<v Speaker 1>there's not enough of that to where you really know

143
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.519
<v Speaker 1>what you're getting with Indiana. But if there's one team

144
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>where I feel like collectively college football fans would kind

145
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:29.720
<v Speaker 1>of not necessarily unite around because maybe you don't like Indiana,

146
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.759
<v Speaker 1>but like, nobody likes Notre Dame unless you're a Notre Dame, right,

147
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.040
<v Speaker 1>everybody seems to be anti Notre Dame and Notre Dame

148
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:37.720
<v Speaker 1>they're in a similar situation. What is their resume? They

149
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:41.399
<v Speaker 1>say that you know, again, they have better wins than Indiana,

150
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:43.600
<v Speaker 1>but like those wins aren't great, Like their best win

151
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>is against Texas A and M and probably Louisville m HM.

152
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.160
<v Speaker 2>And we've seen them firsthand, so we know what they're

153
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:48.560
<v Speaker 2>all about.

154
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:51.199
<v Speaker 1>They lost in IU too, so and that's clearly the

155
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:53.720
<v Speaker 1>worst loss that anybody has within the twelve team playoffs.

156
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:55.560
<v Speaker 1>So I just felt like there would be more noise

157
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:59.040
<v Speaker 1>out there about like, hey, I get it, Notre Dame's favored,

158
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.240
<v Speaker 1>but Indiana can and beat them, and I think they will.

159
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:02.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what this opened up as, but it's

160
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:04.920
<v Speaker 1>now Indiana plus seven and a half and I can

161
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:06.839
<v Speaker 1>tell you this, I absolutely love it.

162
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it's been seven and a half, like ever

163
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:10.800
<v Speaker 2>since they first cat over with the bracket.

164
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and another team that I'm really pulling for. And

165
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.319
<v Speaker 1>trust me, this is not I mean, maybe there's a

166
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:18.879
<v Speaker 1>little bit of it. That's the ACC thing we're going.

167
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>It would be nice to see the ACC do well

168
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:22.439
<v Speaker 1>in the playoff with the two teams that are there.

169
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>But I want SMU to beat Penn State. I don't

170
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:27.399
<v Speaker 1>have a clue if it's gonna happen, because Penn State's

171
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:28.839
<v Speaker 1>a team that like I think is good, but they're

172
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 1>also again like they're the only thing that's I mean,

173
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Penn State's in the playoff because they started out so

174
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>high and never messed up, and some teams did mess up,

175
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:38.439
<v Speaker 1>and that's why you didn't make the playoff. You got

176
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.759
<v Speaker 1>to be held accountable. But when it comes to SMU,

177
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I happen to think that they're really good. Now. They

178
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>did look great against Clemson until they put that come

179
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.399
<v Speaker 1>back together, so maybe they'll be humbled in this one.

180
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:52.000
<v Speaker 1>But like, I felt like SMU was actually a really

181
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.199
<v Speaker 1>good team. In fact, I didn't know that for certain

182
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:55.879
<v Speaker 1>when they beat Louisville. I just felt like, what are

183
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.680
<v Speaker 1>we doing here with Ron English? Geez? But then they

184
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.720
<v Speaker 1>turned out to Like again, schedule wasn't super challenging in

185
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:03.519
<v Speaker 1>the ACC. But I happen to think that they're really good.

186
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.879
<v Speaker 1>I think they've got really good talent, so I don't

187
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't pick them to win, but I think the

188
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:09.319
<v Speaker 1>dogs are barking here in the first two games.

189
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.759
<v Speaker 2>It's right, I'm liking all of them, these spreads as

190
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:14.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at them, They're they're huge, they're they're way

191
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:16.360
<v Speaker 2>That's true.

192
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.759
<v Speaker 1>I never really had that's it is, got it. I

193
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:20.120
<v Speaker 1>mean again, we've never had a playoff before, so you

194
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:21.399
<v Speaker 1>don't know what to compare it to. But to see

195
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:24.399
<v Speaker 1>all of these games be a touchdown or more is

196
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:25.399
<v Speaker 1>crazy to me. Yeah.

197
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:28.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't really love Clemson.

198
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Me either, and I don't think we know what we're

199
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:30.959
<v Speaker 1>gonna get with them either.

200
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, No, I was reading that wrong. I thought it.

201
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.480
<v Speaker 2>I thought Clemson was a twelve point favorite.

202
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.519
<v Speaker 1>No, no, it's it's I'm seeing plus eleven and a

203
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.799
<v Speaker 1>half at Clemson on FanDuel. Now I'm sure it's twelve elsewhere.

204
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:44.440
<v Speaker 1>But I mean that one. I don't have much. I mean,

205
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:47.639
<v Speaker 1>if anything, I may touch the the over. But Texas's

206
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:51.799
<v Speaker 1>offense was not stellar against Georgia, but again that's Georgia.

207
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:54.039
<v Speaker 1>So uh. The best game though, it's got to be

208
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee Ohio State, right, Yeah, that's gotta be fun. That

209
00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:59.399
<v Speaker 1>should be the best game. And I'm surprised that that

210
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State is favored about seven and a half. Then again,

211
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:05.960
<v Speaker 1>you know they Ohio State's the interesting team that has

212
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:08.279
<v Speaker 1>very little momentum because of how they ended their season

213
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:10.559
<v Speaker 1>with their embarrassing loss to Michigan. One of those years

214
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.679
<v Speaker 1>where like if you're ever gonna end the kind of

215
00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:15.159
<v Speaker 1>like Louisville, if louisvill would have lost in football this year,

216
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:17.000
<v Speaker 1>like it's the one thing you can't do is loose

217
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:18.360
<v Speaker 1>to them. This year. That was the same thing with

218
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:20.919
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State, and they messed around and did lose to

219
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:25.159
<v Speaker 1>this Michigan team that was subpar, but they have the

220
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:28.759
<v Speaker 1>best roster probably in college football. Therefore, you know, them

221
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:30.879
<v Speaker 1>playing well and winning this whole thing is really not

222
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:33.279
<v Speaker 1>that is really not that out of reach. Also though

223
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.879
<v Speaker 1>with Ohio State, I mean you also keep it keep

224
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.200
<v Speaker 1>in mind they nearly lost to Nebraska. Take the rivalry

225
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.200
<v Speaker 1>stuff out of it. But like Michigan alone is just

226
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:43.639
<v Speaker 1>not a very good team and they beat them. Oregon

227
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>got them and that was a weird game earlier this year,

228
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.919
<v Speaker 1>although Oregon is the number one team. So you know,

229
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:51.559
<v Speaker 1>I maybe that spread isn't as surprising as I as

230
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I initially thought it was. But I don't know, just

231
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I just think these games are gonna be competitive, and

232
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:57.639
<v Speaker 1>I hate to do you know, just nothing but dogs.

233
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:00.120
<v Speaker 1>But I just have a hard time thinking that like

234
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:02.879
<v Speaker 1>anybody's gonna really get like I shouldn't say blown out

235
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and I guess losing by eight wouldn't be a blowout,

236
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.120
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I think the Tennessee, Ohio State game is

237
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:10.879
<v Speaker 1>gonna be it's gonna be interesting. And then after that

238
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:12.679
<v Speaker 1>then we have, you know, then to moves on and

239
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:15.240
<v Speaker 1>those those teams waiting for their opponent, we'll we'll find

240
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:17.799
<v Speaker 1>out who they play. So I'm glad you mentioned, you know,

241
00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:19.559
<v Speaker 1>betting on it, cause I'm excited to bet on it too,

242
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:20.919
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going to do it. But I've got an

243
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:25.120
<v Speaker 1>issue right now with FanDuel Sportsbook that oh yeah, I'm

244
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:29.559
<v Speaker 1>getting close to just saying, look, empty my account and

245
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:33.080
<v Speaker 1>close it. I'm done with you guys. And it's not

246
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>like you know, I mean, I'll just explain what happened,

247
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:38.720
<v Speaker 1>and I get why they're doing what they're doing. But

248
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:40.840
<v Speaker 1>if you're gonna, like, if you're gonna be in the

249
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.600
<v Speaker 1>game as they say, and you know you're out here

250
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:47.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty four to seven, knowing that you are taking anybody's

251
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:49.799
<v Speaker 1>money whenever you can get it on anything like, you

252
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:52.159
<v Speaker 1>need to have better resources at your disposal to be

253
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.320
<v Speaker 1>able to like unlock somebody's account for something that's like silly.

254
00:10:57.159 --> 00:10:59.159
<v Speaker 1>So I went to Tennessee over the weekend. As we

255
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:01.720
<v Speaker 1>discussed earlier this, I was in Nashville on Saturday and Sunday.

256
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:04.279
<v Speaker 1>So once I got into Nashville and I fired up

257
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:08.440
<v Speaker 1>the Fandael sportsbook, I'm now betting in Tennessee, and everything's

258
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:11.279
<v Speaker 1>done differently throughout the state, so they're very very particular

259
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:14.679
<v Speaker 1>on what you're like. You know, they're very particular on

260
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:16.200
<v Speaker 1>like the geo fencing. I don't know if you guys

261
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.240
<v Speaker 1>know what that is. The location stuff to where like that.

262
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:21.080
<v Speaker 1>That is probably the biggest challenge other than you know,

263
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.759
<v Speaker 1>people agreeing to make it legal in their states, some

264
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:25.960
<v Speaker 1>one of the biggest challenges is getting that technology down

265
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>to where you because you know, think about how many

266
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.480
<v Speaker 1>states border each other, and if both have it's one

267
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:34.320
<v Speaker 1>thing if you end up. For example, I don't even

268
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:35.519
<v Speaker 1>know if this was true or not, but I did

269
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:37.159
<v Speaker 1>hear about it enough to where I do believe it

270
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>was true. There was a spot on River Road before

271
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:42.200
<v Speaker 1>it was legal to gamble in Kentucky that you could

272
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.080
<v Speaker 1>go over there and park at this parking lot on

273
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:46.480
<v Speaker 1>River Road, of course, right across the river from Indiana,

274
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:49.120
<v Speaker 1>and you could get out your sports book app and

275
00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:52.120
<v Speaker 1>sometimes or maybe one of the books would would connect

276
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.080
<v Speaker 1>to Indiana and you could bet without crossing the bridge.

277
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:54.960
<v Speaker 2>I did not know that.

278
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and again I've never done it, but I heard

279
00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:58.720
<v Speaker 1>enough about it to where I do feel like there

280
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:00.720
<v Speaker 1>was some truth to it. And that's not that big

281
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:03.879
<v Speaker 1>of a deal. I mean, technically, that's not I mean,

282
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.080
<v Speaker 1>if anything that's that's not hurting Kentucky. That's just you know,

283
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:09.960
<v Speaker 1>an issue with Indiana not having the geo fencing or

284
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:11.799
<v Speaker 1>the geo stuff down the way it needs to be.

285
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:15.000
<v Speaker 1>But when you've got two states that are now both legal.

286
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:20.039
<v Speaker 1>If I'm betting and I'm losing, and I am technically

287
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:25.440
<v Speaker 1>in Indiana, but i'm but my app shows Kentucky, that

288
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.159
<v Speaker 1>would mean that Indiana should be the ones taking my money,

289
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.720
<v Speaker 1>but Kentucky's getting it because the location stuff wasn't worked out. Therefore,

290
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:35.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're competent, They're they're competitors now when it

291
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:37.399
<v Speaker 1>comes to like, you know, they want to they want

292
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:39.600
<v Speaker 1>people to be gambling in their state. So you know

293
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.759
<v Speaker 1>that that's a very like big part of you know,

294
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.200
<v Speaker 1>how we do gambling online with these apps and whatnot.

295
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:49.080
<v Speaker 1>And I suppose like you can give somebody your log

296
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:51.879
<v Speaker 1>in and they're in a different state than like you know,

297
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.799
<v Speaker 1>like for example, if I'm in a state that is

298
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.159
<v Speaker 1>illegal to gamble in and I have an account, but

299
00:12:58.279 --> 00:12:59.720
<v Speaker 1>like when I log in, it just tells me I'm

300
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:01.000
<v Speaker 1>not a lot to bet because of where I'm at,

301
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:02.639
<v Speaker 1>and I can do like other stuff, like they got

302
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:04.919
<v Speaker 1>other things that are that are like you can do

303
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.799
<v Speaker 1>fantasy football stuff that yeah, within the within the FanDuel

304
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.000
<v Speaker 1>sportsbook stuff. So like if if I say, hey, Austin,

305
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:13.279
<v Speaker 1>you're in Kentucky where it's legal, I'm in Florida where

306
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.000
<v Speaker 1>it's not. I've got like two hundred thousand dollars in

307
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:18.159
<v Speaker 1>my account, go make a big bet, but I need

308
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:19.600
<v Speaker 1>you to log into my account to use it. So

309
00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:22.480
<v Speaker 1>you could log in and it'll verify that you're in Kentucky.

310
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:25.679
<v Speaker 1>But if they can see from a technological technological standpoint

311
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:29.279
<v Speaker 1>that within like two seconds, these two this same account

312
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:31.840
<v Speaker 1>was accessed in two states. Way like they're gonna flag

313
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:34.600
<v Speaker 1>that for far, yes, So like I get that, but

314
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:38.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's crazy. Like all I did was

315
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:44.679
<v Speaker 1>travel to Tennessee make wagers, and then whenever I got

316
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:46.960
<v Speaker 1>back to Kentucky, I tried to log into my account

317
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:49.879
<v Speaker 1>and it said that it's like suspended for suspicious activity.

318
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:53.000
<v Speaker 1>So you know, I don't know if I fired it

319
00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:56.320
<v Speaker 1>up like right as soon as I mean, I don't

320
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.879
<v Speaker 1>know how the technology works. But if I'm in Tennessee

321
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.320
<v Speaker 1>on the app and I and I then cross state

322
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.759
<v Speaker 1>lines and in Kentucky on the app and that is

323
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:06.759
<v Speaker 1>that is flagged, then that's an issue with you, Like

324
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:10.120
<v Speaker 1>you don't have the ability to monitor that right effectively,

325
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:14.080
<v Speaker 1>because that's not fraud. That's somebody just traveling. And I

326
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.080
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's really that rare for somebody to be

327
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:19.159
<v Speaker 1>on the app while traveling, and you know, like what

328
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:20.960
<v Speaker 1>do you do when you're in an airport? Right, Like

329
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:23.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, if people fire up the app when they

330
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:26.559
<v Speaker 1>take off and then you know it comes back online

331
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:28.559
<v Speaker 1>when you land, like they're probably gonna flag that for fraud.

332
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:30.799
<v Speaker 1>So anyways, like I just felt like that was you know,

333
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.039
<v Speaker 1>oh that stinks, But I'll go through the process. So

334
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.360
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday night, they tell me what I need to

335
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.519
<v Speaker 1>do in order to in order to get my you know,

336
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:42.600
<v Speaker 1>account verified, and for them to you know, make sure

337
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:45.080
<v Speaker 1>that they that they don't think that I'm doing something

338
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>fraudulent that they're not that, you know, they're not allowed

339
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:49.960
<v Speaker 1>to do, and you know, it wasn't it wasn't anything crazy.

340
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.000
<v Speaker 1>But I had to take a picture of my ID.

341
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I had to take a picture of myself holding a

342
00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:57.919
<v Speaker 1>piece of paper that set the date. And then I

343
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.480
<v Speaker 1>had to take a picture of the card that was

344
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:06.120
<v Speaker 1>used in my last deposit. Well I didn't use a card,

345
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:07.799
<v Speaker 1>I used Venmo. So then they said if you do that,

346
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:09.799
<v Speaker 1>you can take a screenshot. So I submitted all that

347
00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:12.799
<v Speaker 1>and they said, thank you, we'll be back. You know,

348
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:14.720
<v Speaker 1>someone from our team will be back with you in

349
00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:17.879
<v Speaker 1>twenty four to seventy two hours, and you know, of

350
00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:20.399
<v Speaker 1>course it's more on the seventy two hours every time.

351
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:23.080
<v Speaker 1>So then I get nothing like and when you go

352
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:25.000
<v Speaker 1>to try to start a chat with an agent, I'm like, hey,

353
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I sent you what you're asking for. Can I just like,

354
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:28.679
<v Speaker 1>can somebody just look at it so I can start

355
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:30.960
<v Speaker 1>betting again. And anytime I go to the chat and

356
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.200
<v Speaker 1>enter my login info, it directly ends the chat and

357
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:34.960
<v Speaker 1>tells me that there's already like an open thing for

358
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:37.559
<v Speaker 1>me and that they're and they're looking into it, so

359
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:39.639
<v Speaker 1>like there's no point of contact. I can't call anybody.

360
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.960
<v Speaker 1>It's a bot every time, and I have to wait

361
00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:44.559
<v Speaker 1>like three days to get one level of correspondence. So

362
00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:46.919
<v Speaker 1>I sent all the stuff that I needed to send,

363
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:49.799
<v Speaker 1>and then last night I get an update and it's

364
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:50.799
<v Speaker 1>basically the same thing.

365
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:53.519
<v Speaker 2>It's like a run around. It's mean to me.

366
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:55.639
<v Speaker 1>No, It's like, this is what they asked for a

367
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:57.600
<v Speaker 1>last time. It's like they didn't even acknowledge that I'd

368
00:15:57.639 --> 00:16:01.200
<v Speaker 1>sent something previously. It says I needed to I needed

369
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:04.080
<v Speaker 1>to give them the approximate date I last access the account,

370
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:07.879
<v Speaker 1>the location that I last accessed the account from, and

371
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.399
<v Speaker 1>the type of device used to verify my location, the

372
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:16.840
<v Speaker 1>product I was using, meaning fantasy sportsbook or casino, and

373
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:20.000
<v Speaker 1>then the approximate date of the last authorized deposit slash

374
00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:22.440
<v Speaker 1>wagers on the account, which, by the way, those are

375
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:24.759
<v Speaker 1>two different things. Deposits and wagers are not the same thing.

376
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:27.159
<v Speaker 1>And I haven't deposited in a long time to have

377
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:28.960
<v Speaker 1>to go back and like reference it. Luckily I found

378
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:31.320
<v Speaker 1>the initial screenshot, like I sent them that last time.

379
00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:33.679
<v Speaker 1>Why do they do that now? And it's it's just

380
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.000
<v Speaker 1>a big wasted time to where I have money in

381
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:39.399
<v Speaker 1>that account that I want to use to basically spend

382
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:41.279
<v Speaker 1>with them. If I don't win, they get my money, right,

383
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:43.440
<v Speaker 1>That's that's that's how this business works. That's probably what

384
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:45.480
<v Speaker 1>they want. And they won't let me use it. And

385
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:47.840
<v Speaker 1>I can't even get in my account to empty it

386
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:49.080
<v Speaker 1>to go elsewhere.

387
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:51.919
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, so you're not you're not even able to

388
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.240
<v Speaker 2>log on. Yeah, it's the same thing with me because

389
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:56.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm going through that same process. I had to do

390
00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:58.840
<v Speaker 2>it earlier where I took a picture of the back

391
00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:02.159
<v Speaker 2>of my license, then the front and then a selfie

392
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:05.759
<v Speaker 2>because there was inconsistencies with my account. I don't know

393
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:07.680
<v Speaker 2>what that is, but I know at one point I

394
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:09.480
<v Speaker 2>was telling you that's off the air, and it.

395
00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:12.759
<v Speaker 1>Sounds like similarities, like they just they think there's something like,

396
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:16.160
<v Speaker 1>wait a second, this account, there's not consistency as far

397
00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:18.079
<v Speaker 1>as where it's where it usually logs in, how they

398
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:21.640
<v Speaker 1>verify location, that kind of stuff. Yeah, and I want

399
00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:22.680
<v Speaker 1>to know, we've got to get you a break into it,

400
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:24.359
<v Speaker 1>and I I want to revisit this because I find

401
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:26.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how entertaining this to other people. But

402
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the my issue is not that they have to do

403
00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:31.519
<v Speaker 1>all this, because I understand how serious this is, and

404
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:33.240
<v Speaker 1>it's got to be regulated, like this is a very

405
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:36.640
<v Speaker 1>serious thing that like they're going to make sure that

406
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:39.119
<v Speaker 1>they police this thing and regulated as best as possible,

407
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:42.039
<v Speaker 1>because you know, there's still probably people out there that

408
00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:43.759
<v Speaker 1>wish we didn't have this kind of stuff because they

409
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:46.920
<v Speaker 1>think it's dangerous. So I get it, but don't be

410
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:50.240
<v Speaker 1>in my face every second of every day with marketing

411
00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:53.480
<v Speaker 1>where you're clearly encouraging people to bet around the clock,

412
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:56.319
<v Speaker 1>and then when you don't have the resources and ability

413
00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:59.000
<v Speaker 1>to like let people do it, people just have to wait.

414
00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:01.359
<v Speaker 1>It'd be one thing I could just take my money

415
00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:03.359
<v Speaker 1>to then be fine, But I can't even get into

416
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:04.319
<v Speaker 1>my account.

417
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:06.759
<v Speaker 2>And that makes you want to go to another competitor,

418
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:07.319
<v Speaker 2>of course.

419
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:09.319
<v Speaker 1>Of course, So last night, what did I do if

420
00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I logged back into DraftKings for the first time in

421
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:13.240
<v Speaker 1>a long time, and luckily I had a hell a

422
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:15.839
<v Speaker 1>few phones sitting in there, and I fired off just

423
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:17.559
<v Speaker 1>one bet because I was just itching to get something,

424
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:19.799
<v Speaker 1>get something out, and I hadn't been looking at anything

425
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:22.000
<v Speaker 1>throughout the day because you know, I hadn't been into

426
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:23.680
<v Speaker 1>my account. Yeah, I didn't know what I was gonna

427
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:25.839
<v Speaker 1>be able to bed, but I got that Florida minus four.

428
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:28.799
<v Speaker 1>They nearly blew it, but they rolled on, which nice

429
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:31.200
<v Speaker 1>fuff for me to hit that. But also, you know,

430
00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:32.799
<v Speaker 1>not a good look for the ACC as they had

431
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:35.960
<v Speaker 1>another bad night last night. And then here I am

432
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:37.519
<v Speaker 1>talking about a win that I got. My man, what

433
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:38.960
<v Speaker 1>was it four or five legs last night?

434
00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:41.279
<v Speaker 2>You hit, yeah, a little four leg parlay. I think

435
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:43.640
<v Speaker 2>a two tough man I've been I've been doing with

436
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:47.279
<v Speaker 2>the four legger. I'll get two for a spread and

437
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:49.759
<v Speaker 2>then the other two over under. And I was sweating that.

438
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:51.319
<v Speaker 2>I was sweating that over under and one of the

439
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:54.160
<v Speaker 2>spreads because I think it was Radford. I can't bat,

440
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:55.759
<v Speaker 2>can't remember who they were playing, but it was a

441
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:58.039
<v Speaker 2>free throw contest at the end, and it was twelve

442
00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:00.519
<v Speaker 2>and a half and it was just it was right

443
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:03.279
<v Speaker 2>at that one minute and there I think at one

444
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:05.880
<v Speaker 2>point that Radford was down by eleven, but they just

445
00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:07.359
<v Speaker 2>kept fighting. I'm gonna have to go give me a

446
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:08.279
<v Speaker 2>Radford shirt now.

447
00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:10.799
<v Speaker 1>Brad Bradford, Baby, that's the home of Carle Jones before

448
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:14.119
<v Speaker 1>he came to be a Cardinal's right shut out car League.

449
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:16.680
<v Speaker 1>All right, we got a lot to get to today.

450
00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:18.920
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna get this thing rolling here. Not that we

451
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.839
<v Speaker 1>haven't enjoyed ourselves thus far, but bracketology. I usually hate it,

452
00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:25.640
<v Speaker 1>especially this time of year, but it is a reference

453
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:28.480
<v Speaker 1>point as to is Louisville considered a bubble team or not.

454
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:30.839
<v Speaker 1>In the eyes of one bracketologist, they are kind of

455
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:32.799
<v Speaker 1>in the bubble. I'll explain. Also, there's a stat that

456
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:34.960
<v Speaker 1>we have to talk about with this Louisville team that

457
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:37.680
<v Speaker 1>it's not a good one. But I don't really know

458
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:41.920
<v Speaker 1>if I should be encouraged, discouraged or what. But we'll

459
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:44.680
<v Speaker 1>get to that. Also, this Netflix series about the SEC,

460
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:47.119
<v Speaker 1>which is gonna be awesome. They followed a bunch of

461
00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:49.599
<v Speaker 1>SEC teams this year. Netflix did, and I don't know

462
00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.240
<v Speaker 1>when that's gonna come out, but they followed Kentucky and

463
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.240
<v Speaker 1>one of the games where they were embedded within the

464
00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Kentucky football program was the Governor's Cup game and I

465
00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:57.759
<v Speaker 1>cannot wait.

466
00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh, let's go see that.

467
00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:01.559
<v Speaker 1>That's gonna be awesome. And then there's all kinds about

468
00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:02.680
<v Speaker 1>the stuff. But we got to get to a break.

469
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:05.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm way too late here, but stick around, don't go anywhere.

470
00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:07.039
<v Speaker 1>It's Coffee and Company. Feel about Thornton's right here on

471
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:10.440

472

473
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:22.160
<v Speaker 1>my favorite Christmas songs for sure, Moose's definite favorite. Here

00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:27.319
<v Speaker 1>coming around to Wham's Last Christmas.

476
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:30.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh he he's already to turn into a man.

477
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.160
<v Speaker 1>He likes it because I like it, But I want

478
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.359
<v Speaker 1>him to like it. You know what I'm saying. I

479
00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:35.839
<v Speaker 1>don't want him to. I don't want him to just

480
00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:37.880
<v Speaker 1>like by default say well, I love this song too

481
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:40.240
<v Speaker 1>because my dad loves it, which is really sweet, and

482
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:43.160
<v Speaker 1>you know I love that. That's that's you know, this

483
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:45.319
<v Speaker 1>is an age where you know, anything I do he

484
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:47.920
<v Speaker 1>just thinks is cool. That'll eventually fade, probably before you know,

485
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:50.839
<v Speaker 1>not before too long. But yeah, good good one there,

486
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Run run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town.

487
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The Wham Last Christmas is a great song, even

488
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:58.720
<v Speaker 2>better music video. Oh them just stuff in the in

489
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:01.119
<v Speaker 2>the cabins. This guy seeing the love of his life

490
00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:04.359
<v Speaker 2>that he literally gave his heart to last Christmas, I mean.

491
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:06.519
<v Speaker 1>And then the next day what they do just gave

492
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:08.720
<v Speaker 1>it away. Gave it away, and she's with the new dude.

493
00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:11.119
<v Speaker 2>They're they're sitting around like at at the end, having

494
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:13.559
<v Speaker 2>some wine and he gives her that look, you know,

495
00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:13.960
<v Speaker 2>like the.

496
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Son of a bitches with that is I mean, that's

497
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:19.799
<v Speaker 1>just I mean, I can't I'm getting I'm getting worked

498
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:21.720
<v Speaker 1>up thinking about that kind of betrayal, that kind of

499
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:22.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, I.

500
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:25.119
<v Speaker 2>Can imagine when to go hang out, like why why

501
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:26.920
<v Speaker 2>even invite her that next year?

502
00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:30.000
<v Speaker 1>And where that video is like filmed? That just that's

503
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:31.880
<v Speaker 1>what I want Christmas to be. Yeah, I'm saying, like

504
00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:35.359
<v Speaker 1>nothing but snow and everybody very beautiful men and women

505
00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:39.640
<v Speaker 1>and furry coats and big dogs and nice hair. Yeah,

506
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:41.880
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, very very nice hair.

507
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:42.119
<v Speaker 2>Good.

508
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:44.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's that's what I want. That's the perfect

509
00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:45.599
<v Speaker 1>Christmas for me. Maybe one day. I mean, it's got

510
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:46.759
<v Speaker 1>to be like I don't even know if it was

511
00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:48.359
<v Speaker 1>actually film there, but like it's got to be based

512
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:50.759
<v Speaker 1>in like Aspen or something or Veil. Yeah, I'm thinking

513
00:21:50.839 --> 00:21:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Colorado or somewhere in the Northeast.

514
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:55.119
<v Speaker 2>Maybe, but somewhere maybe even even even wanted to get freaky,

515
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:57.920
<v Speaker 2>maybe in Canada, somewhere that could be could be and

516
00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:02.000
<v Speaker 2>and just a little side shot Chuck Barry's run Run Rudolph.

517
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:05.720
<v Speaker 2>They came out with something last week said that's like

518
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:09.960
<v Speaker 2>the favorite of every States song during during the Christmas time.

519
00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:11.400
<v Speaker 2>This took Kentucky's was run.

520
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.039
<v Speaker 1>Running Now nice. I'm proud of my people. There we go.

521
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:16.519
<v Speaker 1>That's that's a classic. All right. It's coffee and Company

522
00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:18.200
<v Speaker 1>and we are feel about Thornton's here on Sports Talk

523
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:20.480
<v Speaker 1>seven to ninety. Appreciate you hanging out with us as

524
00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:22.359
<v Speaker 1>we take you up until six o'clock. In about an hour,

525
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:24.200
<v Speaker 1>around four thirty, we're going to talk to doctor Larry

526
00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:27.119
<v Speaker 1>Binns of Pro Rehab Physical Therapy. As always we look

527
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:31.400
<v Speaker 1>forward to our chat with doctor Bens and Louisville is

528
00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:33.119
<v Speaker 1>dealing with a lot of injuries this season, and that's

529
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:36.759
<v Speaker 1>one of the things we'll talk about with Larry. Not necessarily, well,

530
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:38.400
<v Speaker 1>he may. You never know. With Larry, I never want

531
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:40.400
<v Speaker 1>to put him in the spot because obviously he's very

532
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:42.759
<v Speaker 1>well connected with u of L and Pro Reha Physical

533
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:44.359
<v Speaker 1>Therapy is a big partner with u of L, and

534
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:47.279
<v Speaker 1>Larry was actually with the program during their trip to

535
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:49.079
<v Speaker 1>the Bahamas. And I don't think I need to tell

536
00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:51.680
<v Speaker 1>you guys, Larry's very much affiliated with U of L

537
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:53.880
<v Speaker 1>in a way that most aren't and a big supporter

538
00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:56.039
<v Speaker 1>and on the board of trustees and that kind of stuff.

539
00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:57.559
<v Speaker 1>So I never want to put him in the spot

540
00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:00.880
<v Speaker 1>of like me asking a question and that like he's

541
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:03.480
<v Speaker 1>not gonna answer and isn't allowed to or maybe just

542
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:05.680
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't want to, and you know, just not gonna put

543
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:08.279
<v Speaker 1>him in that spot. But sometimes I won't, but I'll

544
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:10.519
<v Speaker 1>kind of like insinuate that, hey, I know you can't

545
00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:12.079
<v Speaker 1>answer this, or you may not know, but you know,

546
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:14.440
<v Speaker 1>And then as soon as I get there, then then

547
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:15.839
<v Speaker 1>I can kind of get a read is he gonna

548
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:18.720
<v Speaker 1>give us anything or not? So he he may. In fact,

549
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:20.319
<v Speaker 1>I have a hard time thinking he does not know

550
00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:22.559
<v Speaker 1>the status of Trey Ora as far as when he's

551
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:25.599
<v Speaker 1>gonna be back. But you know, will he tell us,

552
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:27.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe maybe he says he thinks he could

553
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:28.720
<v Speaker 1>be back in a couple of weeks. I'm not sure.

554
00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:32.359
<v Speaker 1>I'd always heard that with Trey Ora. The timeline was

555
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:34.720
<v Speaker 1>right around the North Carolina game at the end of

556
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:38.359
<v Speaker 1>the year or maybe early January, so you know, again,

557
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:41.279
<v Speaker 1>and it's not like getting trailray Back is going to

558
00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:45.440
<v Speaker 1>change things substantially as far as like you've added a

559
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:47.640
<v Speaker 1>guy who's gonna give you eighteen a night, nothing like that.

560
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:51.079
<v Speaker 1>But even if the statu sheet and by the way,

561
00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:53.480
<v Speaker 1>he was a stat stuffer at Long Beach State and

562
00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:56.240
<v Speaker 1>we only saw him play in two games. Now, he's

563
00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:59.759
<v Speaker 1>not a shooter, but he's a really good passer, really

564
00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:02.839
<v Speaker 1>good defender, really good athlete to where you know, if

565
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:05.599
<v Speaker 1>he gets in space, I mean, he's he's one of

566
00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:07.319
<v Speaker 1>those guys that I kind of feel like, in fact,

567
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:09.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know this for certain, but I do feel

568
00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:12.359
<v Speaker 1>as if most people don't realize how much he can

569
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:15.240
<v Speaker 1>actually help you. But I also don't want to act

570
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:18.359
<v Speaker 1>like it's a complete game changer to where all right

571
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:21.920
<v Speaker 1>with him back, now this team can go beat Kentucky,

572
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:23.960
<v Speaker 1>it r up and that kind of stuff. But one

573
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:28.000
<v Speaker 1>just having another fresh body that can you know, do

574
00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:30.359
<v Speaker 1>a lot of different things may not produce a lot

575
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:33.920
<v Speaker 1>of you know, points necessarily, but you know, really getting

576
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:35.640
<v Speaker 1>anybody back would be big right now, no matter who

577
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:37.160
<v Speaker 1>it is, just because of injuries. But we know we're

578
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:39.519
<v Speaker 1>not getting Prior, and we know we're not getting korin

579
00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Johnson back, and obviously that's sayeah, that's a real bummer.

580
00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:43.519
<v Speaker 1>But the reason I brought all this up is because

581
00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:45.799
<v Speaker 1>to tie into the whole injury stuff with our conversation

582
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:47.920
<v Speaker 1>we're having later with doctor Ben's. There's a stat here

583
00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:51.880
<v Speaker 1>from Kelly Dickey, of course, U of L. You know, statman.

584
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:53.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's not a good I mean, that doesn't

585
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:56.279
<v Speaker 1>sound well. I'm not doing him justice by just calling

586
00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:59.119
<v Speaker 1>him the UFL statman, but he is somebody that has

587
00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:02.000
<v Speaker 1>for years now on Twitter provided like really good I

588
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:04.079
<v Speaker 1>mean stats that I don't even know how he would

589
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:06.920
<v Speaker 1>obtain the information. But I'm gonna believe him, trust him,

590
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:08.839
<v Speaker 1>because I don't think he's ever been wrong. He's like

591
00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:12.680
<v Speaker 1>a UFL rain man or something. But anyways, Louisville currently

592
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:16.440
<v Speaker 1>is shooting fifty nine point four percent from two point range,

593
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:19.559
<v Speaker 1>meaning you know, field goals that aren't threes or free throws,

594
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:22.880
<v Speaker 1>including an insane number here. Ninety one point two percent

595
00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:25.880
<v Speaker 1>is James Scott's field goal percentage. So he's not an

596
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:28.160
<v Speaker 1>offensive weapon, but I will give him credit that ninety

597
00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:31.519
<v Speaker 1>one point two percent means he knows where his bread

598
00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:33.680
<v Speaker 1>is buttered. He knows what he is as a player

599
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:35.839
<v Speaker 1>and he's just gonna dunk it near the rim or

600
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:41.279
<v Speaker 1>only take layups. So the two point nine percentage points

601
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:44.559
<v Speaker 1>higher this this then it's yeah, this the fifty nine

602
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:47.960
<v Speaker 1>point four right now. If the season ended, it ended today, this,

603
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:50.759
<v Speaker 1>that would be the best season on record for u

604
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:53.640
<v Speaker 1>of L. As far as field goal percentage. That isn't

605
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:55.880
<v Speaker 1>three just fiel, you know, field goals and free and

606
00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:58.240
<v Speaker 1>anything that's you know, not a free thrower or a

607
00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:02.160
<v Speaker 1>three pointer. Now let's talk about they're three point shooting percentage.

608
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Twenty eight percent from three point range is actually two

609
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:12.960
<v Speaker 1>point six percentage points lower than the worst season Louisville

610
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:15.640
<v Speaker 1>ever had as far as shooting it from downtown. And

611
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:19.079
<v Speaker 1>in fact, that season was last season, so you know,

612
00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:20.960
<v Speaker 1>one of the worst seasons ever. No surprise that it

613
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:22.599
<v Speaker 1>was one of the worst shooting teams ever. In fact,

614
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:26.400
<v Speaker 1>it was until this one. And when I tell you,

615
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:28.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't really know what to do with that, I mean,

616
00:26:28.359 --> 00:26:31.559
<v Speaker 1>it's not it's really not that surprising because you know,

617
00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:37.200
<v Speaker 1>we've we've seen games where they you know, they'll make seven, eight,

618
00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:41.559
<v Speaker 1>maybe nine, but they shot more than thirty, or they'll

619
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:43.759
<v Speaker 1>shoot thirty five and make four or five of them,

620
00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:46.119
<v Speaker 1>like it's I mean, and I'm just throwing numbers out there.

621
00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:49.279
<v Speaker 1>Those maybe a little bit exaggerated, but you know, you

622
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:50.720
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm you know what I'm talking about. We've

623
00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:53.319
<v Speaker 1>seen games where they just have not even when they

624
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:55.000
<v Speaker 1>make threes and you feel like it was a factor

625
00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:56.720
<v Speaker 1>in the win, they just shoot so many of them

626
00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:00.759
<v Speaker 1>that the percentages is usually never, never very good. So

627
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:05.799
<v Speaker 1>I know they shot it better than that against Kentucky.

628
00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:07.880
<v Speaker 1>And you know, some of those are just tough shots

629
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:09.680
<v Speaker 1>that are probably not gonna be something you can make

630
00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:11.599
<v Speaker 1>at a really high rate because you know they're tough shots.

631
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Even if even good players are gonna miss very tough

632
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:17.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna miss more very tough shots than they're gonna make.

633
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:20.480
<v Speaker 1>So we know Chucky Hepberg can do that at times.

634
00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:22.960
<v Speaker 1>We've seen Terrence Edwards show it recently, but you know

635
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:24.839
<v Speaker 1>that's still probably not going to be a super high

636
00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:29.160
<v Speaker 1>percentage shot. And although you know they can do it,

637
00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:31.279
<v Speaker 1>if you have to really rely on that, I mean,

638
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:35.079
<v Speaker 1>that's not a good recipe. So Pat Kelsey's going to

639
00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:38.119
<v Speaker 1>continue to have these guys firing up shots, and I

640
00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:40.880
<v Speaker 1>understand why. As I've said, many times. First of all,

641
00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:45.319
<v Speaker 1>it's just what he wants to do. But also this team,

642
00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:50.160
<v Speaker 1>their ceiling is certainly lower than it was before the

643
00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:55.359
<v Speaker 1>injuries happened, and you know, with what he has to

644
00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:58.319
<v Speaker 1>work with, I just don't see a scenario where, you know,

645
00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:00.680
<v Speaker 1>if you end up being a pretty team that makes

646
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:03.599
<v Speaker 1>it into the tournament, maybe somehow like safely. I just

647
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:06.519
<v Speaker 1>don't know that there's a scenario where you've done that

648
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:08.559
<v Speaker 1>in the three point shot is not a big part

649
00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:10.319
<v Speaker 1>of what you're doing, and your percentage is in fact

650
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:14.599
<v Speaker 1>much better than twenty eight percent. So they're not gonna

651
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:17.079
<v Speaker 1>stop shooting threes. I don't think that they should. But

652
00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:19.799
<v Speaker 1>man like, if they could find a comfortable medium as

653
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:22.799
<v Speaker 1>far as like just knowing they can be a little

654
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:24.799
<v Speaker 1>bit more selective, like it doesn't just have to be.

655
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:27.599
<v Speaker 1>And I thought against Kentucky they were comfortable, they were

656
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:30.279
<v Speaker 1>more loose, they were kind of just out there playing ball.

657
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:32.839
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, every one of them. One of the weapons

658
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:35.559
<v Speaker 1>they have at their disposal is they they they're shooters.

659
00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:37.319
<v Speaker 1>Kind of funny to say now knowing that the team

660
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:39.200
<v Speaker 1>shooting twenty eight percent, But like a lot of these

661
00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:41.240
<v Speaker 1>guys have played college basketball for many many years and

662
00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:43.480
<v Speaker 1>this isn't This is an outlier type of season for them.

663
00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:45.599
<v Speaker 1>I think a factor in that is the style they're

664
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:47.000
<v Speaker 1>now playing it. But what I'm getting at is, like

665
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I hope that the Kentucky game was a sign of like, yeah,

666
00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:52.759
<v Speaker 1>they're still gonna shoot threes, but it's not going to

667
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:54.440
<v Speaker 1>be all right, we're in the half court. We need

668
00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:56.839
<v Speaker 1>to really pick up the pace and get a move

669
00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:59.200
<v Speaker 1>on it to try to get the first decent look

670
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:01.079
<v Speaker 1>from three week in get because I feel like at

671
00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:03.839
<v Speaker 1>times that's what they're doing, and that's that's at this

672
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:06.200
<v Speaker 1>point just not gonna work. We've seen enough to know that,

673
00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:10.039
<v Speaker 1>like that isn't it. So if you're you know, if

674
00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:12.319
<v Speaker 1>you're just kind of out there, not being in such

675
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:15.640
<v Speaker 1>a hurry offensively in the half court and you're taking

676
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:18.960
<v Speaker 1>what the defense gives you, and you know there's a

677
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:21.359
<v Speaker 1>lot more movement going on, it's not early in the

678
00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:23.559
<v Speaker 1>shot clock, but you know you've made an extra pass

679
00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:25.920
<v Speaker 1>and there's eight seconds left and you get a good

680
00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:28.680
<v Speaker 1>look from Watermen or rain Smith, Like that's where one

681
00:29:28.759 --> 00:29:31.559
<v Speaker 1>I think you know that that's a better recipe for

682
00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:33.440
<v Speaker 1>the for the shots to fall. I think those are

683
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:35.680
<v Speaker 1>better rhythm shots than what I've seen at times from

684
00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:37.920
<v Speaker 1>these guys when they just kind of start jacking it

685
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.200
<v Speaker 1>up there. But you know, I also think it. I

686
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:43.400
<v Speaker 1>just think that's the way this team should play. And

687
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:46.519
<v Speaker 1>and they're starting to get there. But in any moment,

688
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:48.039
<v Speaker 1>like I won't be shocked if we if we see

689
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:49.759
<v Speaker 1>them come out against Florida State and it's right back

690
00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:51.759
<v Speaker 1>to everybody just firing it up as quick as possible

691
00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:54.160
<v Speaker 1>because they's somewhat open, and that's what their coach wants

692
00:29:54.200 --> 00:29:56.880
<v Speaker 1>them to do. You know, they're getting more comfortable in

693
00:29:56.920 --> 00:29:59.039
<v Speaker 1>the half court, there's no doubt about it. And that's

694
00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:01.759
<v Speaker 1>that that goes along way. But here, here's what happens.

695
00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Like if you end up and.

696
00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:07.680
<v Speaker 1>If you end up taking a quick three, and this

697
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:09.480
<v Speaker 1>happened against Kentucky, and I don't have the stats in

698
00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:10.799
<v Speaker 1>front of me. I'm just trying to pull them up here,

699
00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:12.720
<v Speaker 1>but I don't need them for where I was going.

700
00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:15.440
<v Speaker 1>But if you just jack up in early three and

701
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:20.000
<v Speaker 1>you don't have somebody back right away your quick miss,

702
00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:22.400
<v Speaker 1>that ends up in maybe somewhat of a long rebound.

703
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.400
<v Speaker 1>That's that's that's leading to fast break points. On the

704
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:29.039
<v Speaker 1>other end that you're just giving up free points because

705
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:31.359
<v Speaker 1>you took an early shot and didn't have somebody back.

706
00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:34.279
<v Speaker 1>Like the risk the risk reward there just doesn't add

707
00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:36.160
<v Speaker 1>up to me. You know, you don't make enough of

708
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:38.839
<v Speaker 1>them to where you can justify continue continuing to shoot

709
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:41.759
<v Speaker 1>them that early in the clock and not having somebody

710
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:43.960
<v Speaker 1>back because teams are just stealing points. And this is

711
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:46.839
<v Speaker 1>again that's a result that one you don't want ever,

712
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:48.880
<v Speaker 1>but also like you don't you don't have a lot

713
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:50.680
<v Speaker 1>of margin for air like that, you can't be given

714
00:30:50.759 --> 00:30:52.920
<v Speaker 1>up points or turning it over way more than your

715
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:55.880
<v Speaker 1>opponent because like you're already gonna have to play pretty

716
00:30:55.920 --> 00:31:00.680
<v Speaker 1>well and and and limit mistakes and shoot well to

717
00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:03.319
<v Speaker 1>beat good teams just because again you just you don't

718
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:05.720
<v Speaker 1>have a high ceiling anymore with the limitations that your

719
00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:11.119
<v Speaker 1>roster has. So you know, when you have more turnovers

720
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:13.839
<v Speaker 1>and your opponent they have way more fast break points

721
00:31:13.880 --> 00:31:19.200
<v Speaker 1>than you, and you know you're you're not getting to

722
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:20.519
<v Speaker 1>the free throw on as much as them. Like those

723
00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:22.279
<v Speaker 1>are just things like you can still mess around and

724
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:24.200
<v Speaker 1>win some games like that. I think it'll depend on

725
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:26.599
<v Speaker 1>who you're playing, but I just think there's some little

726
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.359
<v Speaker 1>little adjustments that can be made, and I think some

727
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:32.359
<v Speaker 1>of them look like they were being made against Kentucky.

728
00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:34.400
<v Speaker 1>That I think, you know, doesn't mean that it changes everything,

729
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:35.799
<v Speaker 1>but I think it could actually go a long way

730
00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:38.480
<v Speaker 1>for this team to just, you know, not be so

731
00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:42.559
<v Speaker 1>reliant upon the three. They're always gonna need it, there's

732
00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:44.680
<v Speaker 1>no doubt about it. But at the same point in time,

733
00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:47.680
<v Speaker 1>like if you rely on it that much and you're

734
00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:51.039
<v Speaker 1>having like an off night early, you can get behind twenty.

735
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:53.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's kind of what's happened in some of

736
00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:56.640
<v Speaker 1>these games. So again, not a great stat by any means,

737
00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:01.519
<v Speaker 1>but really not that surprising. All right, Well, what I

738
00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:03.559
<v Speaker 1>want to get to On the other side, we'll give

739
00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:07.279
<v Speaker 1>you an update on which players for Louisville have have

740
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:09.599
<v Speaker 1>opted out for this Bowl game. It's actually not as

741
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:11.640
<v Speaker 1>big of a list as I would have expected. So

742
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:15.680
<v Speaker 1>there's that. And then also we got to talk about

743
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:21.559
<v Speaker 1>the Netflix documentary series that was filmed during this college

744
00:32:21.599 --> 00:32:24.839
<v Speaker 1>football season. Kentucky of course one of the SEC teams

745
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:26.680
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be a part of it, and I

746
00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:29.960
<v Speaker 1>love the two games we know, or the two weeks

747
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:32.880
<v Speaker 1>I guess we know that the Netflix crew was embedded

748
00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:34.960
<v Speaker 1>within the program because it's going to be a very

749
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:37.680
<v Speaker 1>enjoy a very enjoyable watch for Louisville fans, So stick

750
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:39.519
<v Speaker 1>with us. It's Coffee and Company. We're feel about Thornton's

751
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:42.000
<v Speaker 1>right here on Sports Talk seven ninety. You're listening to

752
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Coffee and Company with Nick Coffee on Sports Talk seven ninety.

753
00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:53.240
<v Speaker 1>At my dorm in Springfield, Kentucky, at Saint Catharine College

754
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:59.000
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand and six, this song probably played a

755
00:32:59.160 --> 00:33:02.960
<v Speaker 1>billion times. My roommate Rashad who was a big fan

756
00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:05.480
<v Speaker 1>of this song, and he introduced me to a lot

757
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:07.640
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of things that I didn't, you know,

758
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:10.799
<v Speaker 1>experience in Bulat County, Kentucky. He grew up in New Orleans.

759
00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:13.880
<v Speaker 1>But yes, that song took me back to those to

760
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:16.599
<v Speaker 1>those days. So thank you for that, for that Austin

761
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:20.799
<v Speaker 1>Jim Jones, Dude, that was like that was every warm

762
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:23.799
<v Speaker 1>like every team in basketball. I feel like at any

763
00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:27.160
<v Speaker 1>level college, high school, like everybody warmed up to that song.

764
00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:30.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that year I had a stranglehold on me n

765
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:33.599
<v Speaker 2>O six. I was in sixth grade. Every everyone loved that.

766
00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:35.119
<v Speaker 2>It was one of the first songs of my m

767
00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:38.319
<v Speaker 2>P three player not even an iPod m P three player.

768
00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:41.200
<v Speaker 1>That's old school. Do you remember Jim Jones is like

769
00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:47.720
<v Speaker 1>ad libs. Yeah, he would just ye like and it worked,

770
00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:50.359
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. Like sometimes there are you know,

771
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:55.160
<v Speaker 1>just I guess trademarked ad libs, maybe literally or just

772
00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:56.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's kind of a known thing. That's what

773
00:33:56.680 --> 00:33:58.519
<v Speaker 1>they that's what they do when it comes to ad libs.

774
00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Whenever they're they're about to do a verse, are in

775
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:01.880
<v Speaker 1>the middle of their verse, and some of them are

776
00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:03.440
<v Speaker 1>like that that I don't even know what that means,

777
00:34:03.480 --> 00:34:06.079
<v Speaker 1>but man like that, that works. That works. That sets

778
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:08.599
<v Speaker 1>the tone here. So good stuff, all right, Coffee and company.

779
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:10.519
<v Speaker 1>That's us. Hopefully you think this is good stuff. And

780
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:13.519
<v Speaker 1>if not, I'd say stick around and and and we'll

781
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:15.880
<v Speaker 1>you'll you'll change your mind. If not, then I think

782
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:17.719
<v Speaker 1>you I think that's a you problem. But we are

783
00:34:17.719 --> 00:34:20.519
<v Speaker 1>fueled bout Thornton's. No problems there. Get the breakfast sandwich.

784
00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:23.199
<v Speaker 1>I saw they did like the Spotify was it Spotify

785
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:24.719
<v Speaker 1>wrapped or whatever at the end of the year where

786
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:27.760
<v Speaker 1>they show you like all the so Thornton's did did

787
00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:30.360
<v Speaker 1>one of those for their items that they had and

788
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:33.199
<v Speaker 1>they got a lot of good stuff, but no surprise,

789
00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:37.079
<v Speaker 1>the breakfast sandwich, the legendary sausage, egg and cheese frossant.

790
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:39.760
<v Speaker 1>That was one of the top items. And you know,

791
00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:42.039
<v Speaker 1>I get it because it's really good. I was a

792
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:43.679
<v Speaker 1>big factor, me and you both the big factors and

793
00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:45.400
<v Speaker 1>why that was one of the best items. So again,

794
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:47.519
<v Speaker 1>support those who support us. That's all we can ask

795
00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:49.800
<v Speaker 1>of you. So become a member of the Refreshing Awards

796
00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:51.360
<v Speaker 1>program at Thornton's if you haven't yet. All right, So,

797
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:53.639
<v Speaker 1>the list of players that are opt outs for the

798
00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:56.519
<v Speaker 1>Sun Bowl outside of guys who've already hit the portal,

799
00:34:56.599 --> 00:34:58.920
<v Speaker 1>that's a given. You know, those guys obviously aren't aren't

800
00:34:58.920 --> 00:35:01.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna end up playing in the bowl game. But then

801
00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:03.800
<v Speaker 1>the others are just guys who are getting ready for

802
00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:08.119
<v Speaker 1>the NFL Draft, Tyler Schuck, Jacory Brooks, Ashton Jalotti, and

803
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Marii Huggins Bruce, which is kind of a head scratcher.

804
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he's just like, yeah, I'm done, I don't want

805
00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:14.159
<v Speaker 1>to go to El Paso, Texas on New Year's I'm

806
00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:16.400
<v Speaker 1>done with my college football career. Because he did say

807
00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:18.119
<v Speaker 1>that he was going to go to the NFL Draft

808
00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:20.639
<v Speaker 1>and start training for that, and you know, I'm not

809
00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:22.000
<v Speaker 1>going I don't be mean, but like, I don't think

810
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:23.840
<v Speaker 1>he has any chance of being in the NFL. But hey,

811
00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:27.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe I'm wrong, but yeah, you'll be not

812
00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:29.840
<v Speaker 1>the same team that you You know, you've been throughout

813
00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:31.519
<v Speaker 1>the year when you don't have your starting quarterback and

814
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:35.239
<v Speaker 1>he played every single snap, it seemed your best receiver

815
00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:38.800
<v Speaker 1>and Jacory Brooks, your best defensive player in Ashton Jealotti.

816
00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:42.559
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I feel still, I mean, Louisville still favored,

817
00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:44.639
<v Speaker 1>and those things are are factored in. Whenever you look

818
00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:48.000
<v Speaker 1>at the line, they'll they'll adjust it dependent upon who

819
00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:50.519
<v Speaker 1>they hear is is opting out in Louisville. I mean,

820
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:52.360
<v Speaker 1>they still have the freshman running back super great, and

821
00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:54.239
<v Speaker 1>still some really good players on this team, Chris Bell,

822
00:35:54.320 --> 00:35:56.159
<v Speaker 1>a receiver. I mean, you know, you still have a

823
00:35:56.199 --> 00:35:58.760
<v Speaker 1>good team, but it's much different. And you know, a

824
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:01.599
<v Speaker 1>big part of winning and losing a game is at

825
00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:03.840
<v Speaker 1>times quarterback play. And we don't have a clue what

826
00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:05.000
<v Speaker 1>we're going to get out of the guy that's going

827
00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:07.679
<v Speaker 1>to start, which I assume is going to be Pierce Clarkson.

828
00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:11.519
<v Speaker 1>All Right, So speaking of transfers, I'm looking at where

829
00:36:11.559 --> 00:36:14.360
<v Speaker 1>some of these guys have landed, and I don't know,

830
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:16.920
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure there's some I'm missing, but I did

831
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:20.239
<v Speaker 1>see earlier today Jamari Johnson, the tight end that I

832
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:23.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, really really really thought highly of and wanted

833
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:25.920
<v Speaker 1>to see stick around and have a great career. He's

834
00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:27.480
<v Speaker 1>going to be the one that breaks my heart, meaning well,

835
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:29.239
<v Speaker 1>he'll go elsewhere, which, by the way, we now know

836
00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:31.679
<v Speaker 1>where he's going. He's going to Oregon, which he originally

837
00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:34.039
<v Speaker 1>picked ufl over Oregon a couple of years ago. But

838
00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:36.000
<v Speaker 1>he's going to go to Oregon, the number one team

839
00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:38.119
<v Speaker 1>in the country. Clearly they've got money. I'm sure he

840
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:40.400
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of it, and Oregon is the number

841
00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:42.280
<v Speaker 1>one team in the country. Therefore, like he's going to

842
00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the team that is, you know, quite literally on top

843
00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:45.440
<v Speaker 1>right now. I don't know if they're going to win

844
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:47.199
<v Speaker 1>the playoff, but you know, you don't want to lose

845
00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:50.559
<v Speaker 1>anybody to that you like. But it's going to happen.

846
00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:53.519
<v Speaker 1>And I think for me, just me, like knowing that

847
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:55.639
<v Speaker 1>he's going there, like it makes a little more sense

848
00:36:55.679 --> 00:36:58.559
<v Speaker 1>because you know, I think money was probably a factor

849
00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:01.320
<v Speaker 1>and Oregon is a big brand, bigger brand than Louisvill.

850
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's be real, So you know, it's not ideal that

851
00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:06.159
<v Speaker 1>it happens overall, but like i'd be, I'm happier to

852
00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:07.800
<v Speaker 1>know that he's going there rather than going to, like

853
00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:10.599
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, a school that's at the same level

854
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:15.320
<v Speaker 1>of Louisville. And then Ben Perry I saw is transferred to.

855
00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Is it UCLA? I believe I think that's where I

856
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:20.239
<v Speaker 1>saw he's gonna end up. So best of luck to

857
00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:23.119
<v Speaker 1>those guys, and you know, maybe they end up having

858
00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:26.119
<v Speaker 1>good endings to their career elsewhere. I mean, I know

859
00:37:26.159 --> 00:37:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I think Jamar Johnson will. But Ben Perry's one of

860
00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:30.239
<v Speaker 1>those guys that, like I would like for him to

861
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:31.719
<v Speaker 1>be back because hey, he gives you good depth. He's

862
00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:33.679
<v Speaker 1>played for a few years. But like you can lose

863
00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:35.840
<v Speaker 1>him and know that, like the likelihood of being able

864
00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:39.199
<v Speaker 1>to kind of fill that void is doable. With Jamari Johnson,

865
00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that's doable as well, especially when you've got again,

866
00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:43.519
<v Speaker 1>as we talked about yesterday, the number one tight end

867
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:46.119
<v Speaker 1>in the portal from Perdue that took took a visit

868
00:37:46.239 --> 00:37:49.000
<v Speaker 1>to campus. All right, So this news came out earlier today,

869
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:51.800
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, all jokes aside as far as

870
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:55.199
<v Speaker 1>like wanting to see Kentucky feature during their worst season

871
00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:56.960
<v Speaker 1>in the Stoops era, like that is going to be

872
00:37:56.960 --> 00:37:59.400
<v Speaker 1>a factor. But like I'm this is right up my alley,

873
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:05.320
<v Speaker 1>these Netflix documentary series that follow college football programs. I mean,

874
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:08.079
<v Speaker 1>JUCO was the Last Chance You show, which I loved, which,

875
00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:09.400
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I don't know people realize this, but

876
00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:11.800
<v Speaker 1>the Netflix show Wrestlers that was produced by the same

877
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:14.159
<v Speaker 1>guy who did Last Chance to You and Cheer, So

878
00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:17.159
<v Speaker 1>I love these types of shows. I'm a documentary dork.

879
00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:18.599
<v Speaker 1>I've talked about that quite a bit. But this is,

880
00:38:18.679 --> 00:38:20.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, this is the subject of this is something

881
00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:22.559
<v Speaker 1>that I think you know that I'm highly interested in

882
00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:26.199
<v Speaker 1>college football. So there are a handful of teams that did,

883
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:28.760
<v Speaker 1>in fact choose to opt out, and we can get

884
00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:30.199
<v Speaker 1>to that a little bit later, because I do want

885
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:31.840
<v Speaker 1>to have a conversation more so on like why you

886
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:34.440
<v Speaker 1>would opt out and what the pros and cons of

887
00:38:34.519 --> 00:38:37.079
<v Speaker 1>being on this are. But what we do know about

888
00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the Kentucky part of it is they're featured this seaton.

889
00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:40.880
<v Speaker 1>They're going to be in the first season, and apparently

890
00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:42.480
<v Speaker 1>there's some that they're going to be doing next season

891
00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:44.159
<v Speaker 1>that are going to be a part of it. So

892
00:38:44.199 --> 00:38:46.760
<v Speaker 1>I guess it's a two part thing. But Louisville or not.

893
00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:50.119
<v Speaker 1>But the Louisville game in the South Carolina game are

894
00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:53.280
<v Speaker 1>there are the games for Kentucky where the crews were

895
00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:57.519
<v Speaker 1>in town featuring this wildcap program. And I don't think

896
00:38:57.599 --> 00:39:01.119
<v Speaker 1>and I mean this, I'm not sure you could. You

897
00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:04.679
<v Speaker 1>could if Kentucky fans had to say, Okay, we know

898
00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:06.599
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be here for two games, they're gonna be

899
00:39:06.639 --> 00:39:09.519
<v Speaker 1>with They're gonna be embedded within the program, filming week

900
00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:12.519
<v Speaker 1>of practice, off the field stuff during the game, Like

901
00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:14.800
<v Speaker 1>that's how this stuff works. If there's two games I

902
00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:17.400
<v Speaker 1>want to make sure they're not there for it would

903
00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:19.920
<v Speaker 1>be these two. No what other game, because I mean,

904
00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:22.079
<v Speaker 1>they beat Ole miss that's not gonna be on there

905
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:24.519
<v Speaker 1>they I mean, they'll probably reference it, of course, but

906
00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:28.000
<v Speaker 1>they played Georgia to the wire. That's not gonna be

907
00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:30.159
<v Speaker 1>on there. And then really, you know, other than that,

908
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:32.000
<v Speaker 1>they lost it. And there aren't many good moments to

909
00:39:32.079 --> 00:39:34.079
<v Speaker 1>choose from. But I think these are the worst because

910
00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:36.760
<v Speaker 1>it's your rival. You're just beating the brakes off you.

911
00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:40.840
<v Speaker 1>When your your program is in clear full toxicity and

912
00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:43.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't want your like it it, that's the worst time.

913
00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:44.719
<v Speaker 1>And I don't mean just because of the rival, but

914
00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:46.239
<v Speaker 1>like at the end of the year, like, let's be honest,

915
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Kentucky fans were pissed that Stoops was coming back, and

916
00:39:48.840 --> 00:39:50.519
<v Speaker 1>they probably still are, to be honest with you, because

917
00:39:50.559 --> 00:39:53.679
<v Speaker 1>not much has changed. And then the South Carolina game,

918
00:39:54.039 --> 00:39:55.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's that was when you I mean, I

919
00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:58.119
<v Speaker 1>guarantee you there's there's because think about this, Austin. Before

920
00:39:58.119 --> 00:40:00.360
<v Speaker 1>they played South Carolina, they played Southern miss and one.

921
00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:02.760
<v Speaker 1>At that point, they still lived in that fairy tale

922
00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:04.920
<v Speaker 1>world where they were like something that they they're not.

923
00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:07.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they were coming off of a decent season

924
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:09.000
<v Speaker 1>last year and yeah, they still had bragging rights at

925
00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:11.920
<v Speaker 1>the time against Louisville, but like you know, they were

926
00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:15.159
<v Speaker 1>the cocky, over the top version of themselves leading up

927
00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:17.960
<v Speaker 1>to South Carolina because they actually thought that they think

928
00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:21.039
<v Speaker 1>they're snobs to South Carolina. They actually, you know, until

929
00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:23.719
<v Speaker 1>this year, they felt as if, despite losing two in

930
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:26.599
<v Speaker 1>a row, that for some reason that like they were

931
00:40:26.719 --> 00:40:29.400
<v Speaker 1>superior and they could be the elitists when it comes

932
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:32.280
<v Speaker 1>to South Carolina, which was just so unwarranted, and then

933
00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:34.840
<v Speaker 1>they got beat for the third straight time and got

934
00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:39.159
<v Speaker 1>in Yeah, they got crushed in that game, just completely hammered.

935
00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:42.800
<v Speaker 1>And at that point, like again I thought at that time, Wow,

936
00:40:42.920 --> 00:40:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I probably said it on the show. Wow,

937
00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:47.719
<v Speaker 1>I've never really felt the Kentucky fan based this low

938
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:49.760
<v Speaker 1>on Mark Stoops. What a letdown. And then little do

939
00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:52.199
<v Speaker 1>they know that they would only win one SEC game

940
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:54.679
<v Speaker 1>that year and finish four and eight and one and

941
00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:58.639
<v Speaker 1>seven in the league. So, I mean, honest question, not trolling.

942
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:01.320
<v Speaker 1>If you're a Kentucky fan, would you want to watch that?

943
00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I think there's something cool, I guess regardless of what

944
00:41:05.679 --> 00:41:08.360
<v Speaker 1>of what of what comes, you know what's going on

945
00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:11.559
<v Speaker 1>to see, because again, this is cinematic stuff. This isn't

946
00:41:11.679 --> 00:41:14.840
<v Speaker 1>like ESPN interviewed somebody in the locker room before the game.

947
00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:19.599
<v Speaker 1>This is like feature films, cinematic like storytelling, like it's

948
00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:21.800
<v Speaker 1>it's not to be too nerdy here, but it's quite

949
00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:24.880
<v Speaker 1>literally art and it's and it's interesting. And when it's

950
00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:26.719
<v Speaker 1>something you know a lot about and you're familiar with,

951
00:41:26.880 --> 00:41:29.039
<v Speaker 1>like your team, it could be interesting. But it could

952
00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:31.119
<v Speaker 1>also be like, I don't think you're gonna see anything

953
00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:33.360
<v Speaker 1>that makes you maybe view stoops differently. Maybe it does,

954
00:41:33.440 --> 00:41:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure, but like I would have a tough

955
00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:37.880
<v Speaker 1>time watching that, Like I think I could. I could say,

956
00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:40.239
<v Speaker 1>all right, look it's gonna suck, but I I'll tune

957
00:41:40.280 --> 00:41:41.880
<v Speaker 1>in because I want to see my programs sort of

958
00:41:41.960 --> 00:41:44.639
<v Speaker 1>in that in that in that light, meaning on this

959
00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:47.079
<v Speaker 1>really cool show. But then when you see what they're covering,

960
00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:51.039
<v Speaker 1>like it'll probably just remind Kentucky fans how bad the

961
00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:52.960
<v Speaker 1>season was. Like it could be one of those things

962
00:41:53.000 --> 00:41:54.400
<v Speaker 1>that and I don't know when it's gonna come out,

963
00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:55.599
<v Speaker 1>does it say? Let me see if I can pull

964
00:41:55.679 --> 00:41:57.840
<v Speaker 1>up the date here, Yeah, it'll be it'll be released.

965
00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:01.119
<v Speaker 1>Here's what it says, by the way, says Netflix announced

966
00:42:01.119 --> 00:42:03.400
<v Speaker 1>the show earlier today, which will provide an unfiltered access

967
00:42:03.440 --> 00:42:05.800
<v Speaker 1>to coaches and players in the college football and college

968
00:42:05.800 --> 00:42:08.599
<v Speaker 1>football's most dominant conference and give an exclusive look at

969
00:42:08.679 --> 00:42:11.199
<v Speaker 1>key matchups throughout the season. It says here the series

970
00:42:11.280 --> 00:42:13.519
<v Speaker 1>is produced about Box to Box Films, the same company

971
00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:16.800
<v Speaker 1>behind uh Sprint, Full Swing, Formula One, Drive to Survive,

972
00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:18.800
<v Speaker 1>and Breakpoint, and it says that it's going to be.

973
00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:21.079
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna be eight forty five minute episodes and it

974
00:42:21.079 --> 00:42:23.360
<v Speaker 1>will be released this summer in twenty twenty five. So

975
00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:26.440
<v Speaker 1>think about this. You could like maybe you ended up

976
00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:30.119
<v Speaker 1>doing decent in the Portal and you're just like, there's

977
00:42:30.159 --> 00:42:31.920
<v Speaker 1>no real no, you don't know for sure how good

978
00:42:31.960 --> 00:42:33.800
<v Speaker 1>you're going to be, and you're just trying to find

979
00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:35.840
<v Speaker 1>hope and you want to be excited, and you're just

980
00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:38.199
<v Speaker 1>trying to think, Okay, last season was an outlier. Stoops

981
00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:40.119
<v Speaker 1>really cleaned up the culture, and you're probably lying to

982
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:42.800
<v Speaker 1>yourself and when you're saying that, but you're just that's

983
00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:44.119
<v Speaker 1>what you do as a fan because you don't want

984
00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:46.000
<v Speaker 1>to be miserable. You want to just you know, be excited.

985
00:42:46.639 --> 00:42:49.599
<v Speaker 1>But then you see this docuseriies right before the season starts,

986
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:51.360
<v Speaker 1>and you go back to like, uh oh, we still

987
00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:53.840
<v Speaker 1>have this guy as our coach, and man, yeah, those

988
00:42:53.880 --> 00:42:55.920
<v Speaker 1>guys might have been knuckleheads, but man, we don't have

989
00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:58.920
<v Speaker 1>a Deon Walker out there, we don't have a Dane Key.

990
00:42:59.280 --> 00:43:02.880
<v Speaker 1>We've lost really talented players. So maybe they clean up

991
00:43:02.920 --> 00:43:04.800
<v Speaker 1>in the Portal and it's a totally different situation, But like,

992
00:43:04.880 --> 00:43:07.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that could have worked out worse for

993
00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Mark Troops in Kentucky as far as how the season

994
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:12.559
<v Speaker 1>went and when the when the Netflix people were there filming.

995
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:15.559
<v Speaker 2>I love what Netflix is doing into the sports realm now,

996
00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:18.000
<v Speaker 2>and they did the thing with the quarterbacks a couple

997
00:43:18.039 --> 00:43:20.320
<v Speaker 2>of years ago. And I'm biased because they've been featuring

998
00:43:20.440 --> 00:43:23.199
<v Speaker 2>Vikings the last two years with Justin Jefferson and the

999
00:43:23.239 --> 00:43:26.719
<v Speaker 2>wide receivers. And I'm also hearing some talk that there

1000
00:43:26.800 --> 00:43:28.880
<v Speaker 2>hasn't been anyone that come out right setup, but they've

1001
00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:31.840
<v Speaker 2>been saying that there's a lot more camera in productions

1002
00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:34.599
<v Speaker 2>and NFL locker rooms this year, so I think that

1003
00:43:35.039 --> 00:43:36.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the people are saying a lot of

1004
00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:38.440
<v Speaker 2>the online chatter is saying that they're going to do

1005
00:43:38.480 --> 00:43:41.960
<v Speaker 2>the same thing, but with coaches. NFL coaches are going

1006
00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:44.320
<v Speaker 2>to take a few NFL head coaches and follow their journey,

1007
00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:47.840
<v Speaker 2>and Kevin O'Connell, the Vikings coach, probably may be one

1008
00:43:48.000 --> 00:43:50.320
<v Speaker 2>just as well. So I'm interested in seeing that. And

1009
00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:52.199
<v Speaker 2>then you got the full swing. I haven't watched a

1010
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:54.559
<v Speaker 2>Formula one one yet, but that one's pretty good.

1011
00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:57.000
<v Speaker 1>People love it, but I just can't see myself getting

1012
00:43:57.000 --> 00:43:58.000
<v Speaker 1>into you know, yeah.

1013
00:43:57.960 --> 00:44:00.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, if you had any like in trade like they

1014
00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:02.079
<v Speaker 2>had like an Anthony Richardson or the Colts or like

1015
00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:04.719
<v Speaker 2>a Shane sich In one. Yeah, you'd totally be into it.

1016
00:44:04.840 --> 00:44:08.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean this is I mean again, even if it's

1017
00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:11.079
<v Speaker 1>not on like necessarily something I'm really into, like college football,

1018
00:44:11.760 --> 00:44:14.599
<v Speaker 1>I'll binge these shows and watch the hell out of them.

1019
00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:16.280
<v Speaker 1>All Right, we got to get to the top of

1020
00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:17.960
<v Speaker 1>the hour break here, We're still rolling along for the

1021
00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:19.840
<v Speaker 1>next couple of hours. To stick around, we'll revisit the

1022
00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:22.719
<v Speaker 1>whole Netflix series thing, because again, there are some teams

1023
00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:26.119
<v Speaker 1>that chose to opt out. And I think what you're

1024
00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:27.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna see as this plays out, is it like there's

1025
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:32.800
<v Speaker 1>risk there, right, You know, you need momentum more than

1026
00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:35.199
<v Speaker 1>ever in college football because guys have the opportunity in
