<v Speaker 2>hours here on Sports Talk seven ninety Coffee and Company

14
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.200
<v Speaker 2>fuelbout Thornton's. That's the name of the show. But today

15
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna be a little more professional, a little more

16
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:52.479
<v Speaker 2>polished than usual, because it's nothing but reaction to last

17
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.000
<v Speaker 2>night's presidential debate. John, the floor is yours? Show your thoughts? Oh,

18
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:58.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm so excited. I've been waiting to talk about this.

19
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Did you watch it weeks? I watched ten minutes of it. Yeah.

20
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't have any strong thoughts on it

21
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 2>other than I think just the big takeaway that I

22
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.280
<v Speaker 2>think a lot of people, well, I shouldn't say a

23
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:10.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of people because I have no clue. Like that

24
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.879
<v Speaker 2>was terrible, Like I mean, I don't think we feel

25
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 2>any better about anything, regardless of what side you prefer,

26
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Like that was just not productive. But what stood out

27
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:25.920
<v Speaker 2>more to me than anything is that with Trump he

28
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.239
<v Speaker 2>kind of just couldn't help himself last night at times,

29
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, just kind of you know, and he's been

30
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.359
<v Speaker 2>there before. He's just not polished. And that's been said

31
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.840
<v Speaker 2>for you know, almost a decade now, that this guy

32
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:38.879
<v Speaker 2>just he's not presidential in any way. And you know,

33
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:41.079
<v Speaker 2>there's still people that think that's what makes him the

34
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.680
<v Speaker 2>best candidate or whatever. But with Biden the last debate,

35
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:46.799
<v Speaker 2>that guy like he didn't know what plannet he was on.

36
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.959
<v Speaker 2>So Trump looked good more so than probably he ever has,

37
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:52.120
<v Speaker 2>at least, you know, in my opinion. That's not to

38
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Speaker 2>say he's perfect and I love the man, because that's

39
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:55.519
<v Speaker 2>not at all what I'm saying. I don't know, there's

40
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:57.879
<v Speaker 2>some people that loathe him so much that they'll never

41
00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:59.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they might have changed the station after they

42
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.599
<v Speaker 2>heard me say that. But because Biden was just up there,

43
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.680
<v Speaker 2>not quite sure what planet he's on, it was an

44
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:11.080
<v Speaker 2>opportunity for Trump to look a little more put together

45
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:14.120
<v Speaker 2>and prepared, and you know a guy that you know

46
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.879
<v Speaker 2>is ready to you know, to to to take over.

47
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.599
<v Speaker 2>And then last night, you know, I'm not sure Kamala

48
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 2>Harris said anything of substance, to be honest with you,

49
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:25.560
<v Speaker 2>just being real my opinion. What do I know though,

50
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 2>But you know what, she's a little bit more polished,

51
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.560
<v Speaker 2>She's a little bit more you know, she can she

52
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:31.599
<v Speaker 2>can kind of sit back and do her her facial

53
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:35.280
<v Speaker 2>expressions and just let him at times kind of make

54
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.680
<v Speaker 2>himself look bad, right Like you know, so I say

55
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:40.400
<v Speaker 2>that joking. We're not going to talk about the debate,

56
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:45.240
<v Speaker 2>but you know, like last night there wasn't quite the

57
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:47.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, you had sex with a porn star.

58
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>There was the thing about eating dogs in Springfield though,

59
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.080
<v Speaker 1>yeah it was it was it dogs or cats.

60
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.919
<v Speaker 2>There was both dogs and cats both. I mean again,

61
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:57.879
<v Speaker 2>like that's one of you you add, yeah, you're right,

62
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.960
<v Speaker 2>add that to the to the list of things that

63
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:03.280
<v Speaker 2>twenty years from now, a list of quotes that were

64
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:07.280
<v Speaker 2>said during the presidential elections for twenty twenty four, and

65
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.039
<v Speaker 2>you know us we'll remember, like, yeah, that was what

66
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:12.759
<v Speaker 2>a time that was crazy that happened? Was it real?

67
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:14.520
<v Speaker 2>And there's other people that maybe you know on the

68
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:16.840
<v Speaker 2>younger side, we'll say, there's no way we heard that right,

69
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:18.960
<v Speaker 2>and you know you did. I promise that was That's

70
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 2>what That's where we are. I do also love this

71
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.479
<v Speaker 2>is an all time quote. I don't have a plan.

72
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.280
<v Speaker 2>I have concepts of a plan like that was one

73
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.719
<v Speaker 2>of the things that Trump in which, to be fair,

74
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 2>that's not a when you got a BS and that's

75
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 2>exactly what that was, like, I don't that's not a

76
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.680
<v Speaker 2>bad way to BS. Again, everybody knows what it is like.

77
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:41.240
<v Speaker 2>You could have just flustered me like I have concepts

78
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 2>of a plan like that. At least you know that's

79
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.159
<v Speaker 2>not really having a plan. It's honesty. But yeah, it's honesty,

80
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 2>and it doesn't you know, it's not one of the worst.

81
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it actually sounded better than some of the

82
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 2>things he said last night, even though it really wasn't

83
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:56.280
<v Speaker 2>saying anything at all. But anyways, let's get it started,

84
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.080
<v Speaker 2>shall we. In all seriousness, we're not going to turn

85
00:03:58.120 --> 00:03:59.639
<v Speaker 2>this into a political show in any way, and we

86
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 2>never do. And I you know, not to pat myself

87
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:06.199
<v Speaker 2>on the back here but I think this is what

88
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:09.120
<v Speaker 2>I choose to believe when it comes to talking about

89
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:10.919
<v Speaker 2>things that are, you know, important in life, and I

90
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.319
<v Speaker 2>know you don't come to this show for that. I

91
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker 2>feel pretty I'm comfortable with where we are with it,

92
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:19.759
<v Speaker 2>both John and myself, because we don't try to change

93
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:23.040
<v Speaker 2>people's opinions. We don't. I mean, we kind of just

94
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.639
<v Speaker 2>have fun with it. And it's it's clearly a topical

95
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:27.480
<v Speaker 2>thing within the world. I mean, think about it. It's

96
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we're about to elect a president. I mean,

97
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:33.600
<v Speaker 2>it's a big deal. But I also know that we

98
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.600
<v Speaker 2>are so divided and it's such a trigger type of

99
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:41.639
<v Speaker 2>thing right now for so many people that like if

100
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:43.680
<v Speaker 2>there are those that get on the text line or

101
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, on Twitter or call in or something and

102
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:48.279
<v Speaker 2>yell at John, but don't want to be on the

103
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.680
<v Speaker 2>air and just tell us we're dumb. Like again, maybe

104
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 2>you know their opinions, their opinion, they can have it.

105
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.040
<v Speaker 2>But like, I just choose to think that that's just

106
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 2>because of where we are, not because of anything outlandish

107
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.920
<v Speaker 2>we said that was so over the top and so political,

108
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.079
<v Speaker 2>because again I don't know if we ever truly shared

109
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:06.519
<v Speaker 2>many political thoughts at all. But you know, that's just again,

110
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.240
<v Speaker 2>that's what that's the way I choose to see it.

111
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.879
<v Speaker 2>But anyways, again it is Coffee and Company, that's us.

112
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.199
<v Speaker 2>We are fueled by Thornton's right here on Sports Talk

113
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.360
<v Speaker 2>seven ninety. Appreciate you guys hanging out with us again.

114
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:18.839
<v Speaker 2>My name's Nick Coffee. The company man, mister John Alden

115
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:22.519
<v Speaker 2>is alongside today. I could blame it on last night's debate,

116
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.879
<v Speaker 2>but I think it was actually a piece of leftover

117
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.240
<v Speaker 2>pizza that got me. I thought when I woke up this,

118
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.480
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I thought, I'm such a baby when I'm sick.

119
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.040
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not sick, but I think I had food poisoning.

120
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:36.120
<v Speaker 2>And I think, I mean, I don't know how long

121
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:37.600
<v Speaker 2>you have it, how long it sticks around, but I

122
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.639
<v Speaker 2>haven't been able to eat anything all day today. I

123
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:44.360
<v Speaker 2>have had everything that was inside of me exit my

124
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:48.920
<v Speaker 2>body both ways in the last you know, fifteen hours

125
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.600
<v Speaker 2>or so. But I woke up last night and I

126
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.000
<v Speaker 2>was throwing up and just you know, so much get

127
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.639
<v Speaker 2>to to I've already probably done teami here, but I'm

128
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.680
<v Speaker 2>just saying like I couldn't there was nothing left. So

129
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:02.879
<v Speaker 2>then my head started hurting because I was dehydrated, and

130
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:04.279
<v Speaker 2>I went to my wife and I woke her up.

131
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.600
<v Speaker 2>She's sound asleep, you know, and you're gonna have to

132
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.399
<v Speaker 2>take the kids tomorrow. Uh, you know. I don't think

133
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:10.480
<v Speaker 2>I needed to wake her up and tell her that,

134
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:11.879
<v Speaker 2>But that's how big of a baby I am whenever

135
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm sick. So I thought I was gonna have to

136
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:15.680
<v Speaker 2>call in today. I wouldn't gonna be able to be

137
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:17.399
<v Speaker 2>on the show because I couldn't. I mean, I was

138
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:23.480
<v Speaker 2>just just had the sweats, the nauseousness. Even if I

139
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.519
<v Speaker 2>drink water, like would I would have to throw up,

140
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:28.800
<v Speaker 2>which is again Team I. But I'm just being honest

141
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:32.279
<v Speaker 2>with you, But I think that I have I've come

142
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 2>out of it, like I've got some liquids into me now.

143
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.439
<v Speaker 2>Still haven't been able to eat anything, and I'm certainly

144
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:38.759
<v Speaker 2>not gonna try on the show today. But I'm feeling

145
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:41.839
<v Speaker 2>like I'm finally back. Can food poisoning like that's a

146
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:43.480
<v Speaker 2>brief thing, is it not, Like don't you just kind

147
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:44.879
<v Speaker 2>of get it out of your system and you're good.

148
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:46.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that I've ever had it, but I

149
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.040
<v Speaker 1>feel like that's how it works, because I mean, if

150
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:49.879
<v Speaker 1>it's from the food and the food is gone with you.

151
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:51.959
<v Speaker 2>Here you go with your palette. I can see food

152
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.000
<v Speaker 2>poisoning and food food poisoning is a rare thing anyway,

153
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:56.600
<v Speaker 2>I believe, unless you know you're just constantly going places

154
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.600
<v Speaker 2>and eating bad food, because you never know what it

155
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:02.959
<v Speaker 2>is that actually gets you. As far as food poisoning,

156
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:04.800
<v Speaker 2>you can you could if you only ate one thing,

157
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:06.560
<v Speaker 2>then it makes sense, like if you you know, if

158
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:08.040
<v Speaker 2>you were fine and then you went to dinner at

159
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:10.800
<v Speaker 2>a place, then you know that that night like that

160
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:12.319
<v Speaker 2>would probably be it. But there's really no way to

161
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.120
<v Speaker 2>know for sure. So last night after football practice, we

162
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.560
<v Speaker 2>ended up going We ended up going to dinner with

163
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.160
<v Speaker 2>my mother and my stepfather and then of course, you know,

164
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:25.040
<v Speaker 2>my wife and my two kids, and we at Elma

165
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.360
<v Speaker 2>paul A very you know, very well known Mexican restaurant

166
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:31.240
<v Speaker 2>around here. They're all over the place. I get the

167
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.920
<v Speaker 2>same thing and I share that with both my kids

168
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:35.519
<v Speaker 2>because they like it and it's a whole lot of food,

169
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:37.000
<v Speaker 2>so they ate it and they were fine. So I'm

170
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:40.959
<v Speaker 2>assuming that wasn't it. But when I when I went

171
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.800
<v Speaker 2>home that when I went home last night, I ended

172
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.360
<v Speaker 2>up having a couple of beers on the recliner. I

173
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:49.240
<v Speaker 2>got up to take my medicine that I take when

174
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:50.879
<v Speaker 2>I go to sleep, and you know you're supposed to

175
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:52.399
<v Speaker 2>have something like you don't want to take it on

176
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:55.000
<v Speaker 2>an empty stomach. My stomach wasn't empty, but I'm always

177
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.040
<v Speaker 2>worried that, like, because I've had the effects of taking

178
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.199
<v Speaker 2>this medication. Whenever I don't have something in my stomach

179
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:02.600
<v Speaker 2>and it's not it's not good. So we had pizza

180
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.720
<v Speaker 2>on Monday night. That was what we have for dinner,

181
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:10.879
<v Speaker 2>and there was two pieces of thin crust pizza leftover

182
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.800
<v Speaker 2>in a Papa John's box and it'd been sitting out

183
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:18.920
<v Speaker 2>for over twenty four hours, and I just grabbed one

184
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.360
<v Speaker 2>of the little corner pieces of the thin crust pizza.

185
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:23.959
<v Speaker 2>We're talking like a very small amount. But it was

186
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.920
<v Speaker 2>after that that I started to feel like, uh, oh,

187
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:30.639
<v Speaker 2>something's wrong, Like I think I ate something bad. So

188
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:34.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm choosing to believe that it was pizza. But then again,

189
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:37.200
<v Speaker 2>like I think this is a I think you're gonna

190
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:43.080
<v Speaker 2>get a mixed bag of thoughts on this. Some people

191
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:44.879
<v Speaker 2>will look at you like you're a disgusting human being

192
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:48.159
<v Speaker 2>if if you've ate something that was left out overnight

193
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.039
<v Speaker 2>and it was not in the refrigerator, and I kind

194
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:54.080
<v Speaker 2>of get it. I wouldn't do it for really anything

195
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:57.080
<v Speaker 2>other than pizza. I don't know why. Maybe because it's

196
00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:58.720
<v Speaker 2>in a box and it's not in the fridge, but

197
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.840
<v Speaker 2>yet it's kind of closed off. I don't know, but

198
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:06.200
<v Speaker 2>I have done that many times before and it's never

199
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.519
<v Speaker 2>gotten me. But if you like do a quick Google search,

200
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:10.679
<v Speaker 2>they'll tell you, yeah, even though it's been cooked, like

201
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.000
<v Speaker 2>you still shouldn't need it if it's been sitting out,

202
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:17.120
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I you do, you do that, I mean,

203
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:18.320
<v Speaker 2>definitely do it with pizza.

204
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:20.320
<v Speaker 1>And my wife's even gotten on me whenever we have

205
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:23.200
<v Speaker 1>like a leftover box from I don't know, whatever restaurant

206
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.159
<v Speaker 1>of you're choosing, and I'll just sit that on the

207
00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:27.279
<v Speaker 1>counter and you know, eat that the next day because

208
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I know that's going to be my lunch the next day,

209
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:29.159
<v Speaker 1>you know.

210
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So again I've done that as well, and my

211
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:34.039
<v Speaker 2>wife she doesn't look at me weird when I do

212
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:36.159
<v Speaker 2>it with pizza. But if it's something else, like if

213
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:38.879
<v Speaker 2>it's a burger or a sandwich, like, again, it's already

214
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:40.480
<v Speaker 2>been cooked, so in my mind. I'm like, it's you know,

215
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:43.159
<v Speaker 2>it's whatever, who cares. But you know, I guess there

216
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.799
<v Speaker 2>are studies that tell you that that's that you shouldn't

217
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:46.919
<v Speaker 2>do that because it could get you sick. And I

218
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:49.840
<v Speaker 2>think it might have got me. But I again, this

219
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:53.039
<v Speaker 2>is just my guess. I'd say that there's many people

220
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:57.559
<v Speaker 2>that would never eat something that was left out overnight,

221
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:00.320
<v Speaker 2>unless it's pizza. I don't know. I I just feel

222
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.639
<v Speaker 2>like pizza's always gotten a pass in that regard because

223
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.799
<v Speaker 2>it's actually, like room temperature pizza is pretty damn good.

224
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:08.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think pizza is good. Cold, I mean

225
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't like it. And some people legitimately like will

226
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.679
<v Speaker 2>order a pizza, eat as much as they can or

227
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:15.559
<v Speaker 2>as much as they want, put it in the fridge,

228
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.159
<v Speaker 2>and then eat it leftovers, but never eat it up.

229
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:20.559
<v Speaker 2>And I don't do that. But again, I've had cold

230
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.240
<v Speaker 2>pizza before and it tastes fine. Pizza cold, warm, room

231
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:27.919
<v Speaker 2>temperature Pizza's great. Love pizza, but I think pizza's always

232
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.159
<v Speaker 2>kind of gotten a pass. And I'm just curious if

233
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:31.320
<v Speaker 2>any you know, I.

234
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Think what it is that when you think about somebody

235
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:34.840
<v Speaker 1>getting up in the middle of the night, and wanting

236
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:37.559
<v Speaker 1>like a midnight snack type of thing. It's easy to

237
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:39.919
<v Speaker 1>visualize somebody just going to the pizza box that's been

238
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:41.840
<v Speaker 1>sitting out and munching on whatever's in there.

239
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:46.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean, I can't tell you how many times

240
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.639
<v Speaker 2>I have eaten, like, for days pizza that you know

241
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:52.519
<v Speaker 2>we order it, because we'll usually get two pizzas for

242
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:54.799
<v Speaker 2>the whole family because my kids are super picky and

243
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:56.679
<v Speaker 2>my wife and I are not really on the same page,

244
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:59.279
<v Speaker 2>so we'll get like half and half of one and

245
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:01.759
<v Speaker 2>it'll sit there for a few days, and like, if

246
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:03.600
<v Speaker 2>I just want a snack, I'll go grab one, not

247
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:05.159
<v Speaker 2>heat it up, and just you know, eat it. And

248
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.559
<v Speaker 2>it usually never. It's happened once before, and I thought

249
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.440
<v Speaker 2>it was pizza, but I was I was in denial

250
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:11.159
<v Speaker 2>for so long because I don't want to believe that

251
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:12.720
<v Speaker 2>this will ever get me sick again. But I think

252
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:16.320
<v Speaker 2>after last night and the majority of today, I'm to

253
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:18.000
<v Speaker 2>the point now where I'm like, yeah, you know what, Nick,

254
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:19.960
<v Speaker 2>let's throw that in the fridge. If we're gonna eat

255
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.000
<v Speaker 2>it again. If it's been left out overnight, it's gonna

256
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:24.039
<v Speaker 2>be done. Though. That's the way I'm choosing to go

257
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:27.480
<v Speaker 2>about it. But I mean, pizza leftover is good, man,

258
00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:31.159
<v Speaker 2>It's good stuff. But I'll I'll now make it an

259
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.679
<v Speaker 2>effort to make sure if we're done, goes in the

260
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:35.840
<v Speaker 2>fridge and if I'm gonna eat it left over, I

261
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:37.360
<v Speaker 2>get it out of the fridge, heat it up. And

262
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:39.440
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm gonna have to do. But it makes

263
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.919
<v Speaker 2>me kind of sad because there's something like I like knowing, Hey,

264
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.440
<v Speaker 2>I can just walk over the counter. We got pizza

265
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:49.559
<v Speaker 2>left over. I'm gonna have some anyways, other than starting

266
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:53.200
<v Speaker 2>with you know, my food poisoning and last night's election,

267
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.000
<v Speaker 2>where I wanted to start today outside of that. It's

268
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.919
<v Speaker 2>a question that came in on the text line yesterday

269
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.480
<v Speaker 2>that I did not read until earlier today. Sometimes when

270
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:02.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting ready for the show, I'll go fire up

271
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:04.399
<v Speaker 2>the text line and just kind of see some things

272
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:07.200
<v Speaker 2>that were missed that I didn't get a chance to

273
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:09.480
<v Speaker 2>read on the air, or that I you know, read

274
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:11.360
<v Speaker 2>and then forgot about. But this is a good question,

275
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.000
<v Speaker 2>and I'll do it out there on Twitter and I'll

276
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:14.480
<v Speaker 2>throw it out to you listeners as well if you

277
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:17.600
<v Speaker 2>want to share your thoughts. And the question was because

278
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:21.080
<v Speaker 2>we were talking about Indiana being a good opponent just

279
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.159
<v Speaker 2>because of their being in them being in the Big Ten.

280
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:26.799
<v Speaker 2>They're you know, they're they're close. They're not a school

281
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:29.320
<v Speaker 2>that you really should be scared of in football. So

282
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:31.120
<v Speaker 2>it was a bummer that they backed out and that

283
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:33.000
<v Speaker 2>led to Louisville having to play Jacksonville State. So the

284
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.600
<v Speaker 2>question on the text line was if in fact there

285
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:40.639
<v Speaker 2>is a separation which may happen between Power four and

286
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:44.720
<v Speaker 2>G five and fcs, and you only you only played

287
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:47.919
<v Speaker 2>against your conference opponents and then you other you know,

288
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:50.720
<v Speaker 2>you'll have let's say you stay at eight, you have

289
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.279
<v Speaker 2>four non conference opponents every year, but they have to

290
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:57.080
<v Speaker 2>be from the Big twelve, the Big ten of the SEC.

291
00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:59.600
<v Speaker 2>If you're a Louisville fan, who would you want to play?

292
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:04.679
<v Speaker 2>And I have my answers, but I'm curious what you

293
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:06.159
<v Speaker 2>guys think as well, and I'll get to some of

294
00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:07.720
<v Speaker 2>the responses that have come in on Twitter. And again,

295
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:08.759
<v Speaker 2>if you want to give us a call, you can

296
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:10.159
<v Speaker 2>do that too. Five oh two, five to seven, one

297
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:12.360
<v Speaker 2>seventy nine hundred is the number to call in. You

298
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:14.840
<v Speaker 2>can also text in on the Ellen and Federal Credit

299
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Union text line at five o two six, five three

300
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:21.039
<v Speaker 2>zero seven ninety. So here, you know, minor, pretty simple,

301
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:24.600
<v Speaker 2>And I'll tell you why. As much as I don't

302
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.720
<v Speaker 2>see them as a rivalry anymore, it's got to be Cincinnati.

303
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.159
<v Speaker 2>We did trivia yesterday for the Brooks and Done ticket giveaway,

304
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:32.600
<v Speaker 2>which by the way, we're gonna give away tickets once

305
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:34.360
<v Speaker 2>again today five thirty to go see Brooks and Done

306
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:38.039
<v Speaker 2>at the KFC. I'm center, but Cincinnati, like they feel

307
00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:41.919
<v Speaker 2>like a family member in a way, Like I remember

308
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:45.039
<v Speaker 2>whenever Cincinnati got left out when Louisville made the jump

309
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:48.120
<v Speaker 2>to the ACC, and I kind of feel bad for him.

310
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Like they're they were a rival in a way, but

311
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:53.799
<v Speaker 2>we were so alike. They're not as successful as us,

312
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:58.960
<v Speaker 2>that's quite clear overall historically speaking. But you were peers

313
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:00.960
<v Speaker 2>with them really in a way you aren't with anybody else.

314
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.639
<v Speaker 2>Like they're also a city school. They're just up seventy one.

315
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:06.000
<v Speaker 2>You've played them, I believe more. I don't know if

316
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:08.240
<v Speaker 2>that's changed since they've not been in the conference together,

317
00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:10.399
<v Speaker 2>but at one point the opponent that you had played

318
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:14.360
<v Speaker 2>more than anybody in football and basketball was Cincinnati. So

319
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:16.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's almost like they were the brother you

320
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:18.320
<v Speaker 2>could pick on, but if somebody else did, you kind

321
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:21.080
<v Speaker 2>of found yourself not necessarily defending them, but like you know,

322
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:24.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's got to be at leat some Wolf

323
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:25.720
<v Speaker 2>fans that know what I mean, Like their a rival

324
00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:28.240
<v Speaker 2>and you want to see them lose. But like they're

325
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:32.759
<v Speaker 2>kind of like you're broader in a way, so it

326
00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:34.639
<v Speaker 2>would make sense to play them. They are now in

327
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:38.039
<v Speaker 2>the Big Ten. I'm not the Big ten, the Big twelve,

328
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:41.240
<v Speaker 2>and I'm sure that natal like if they played each other,

329
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:43.440
<v Speaker 2>the nastiness would come back because it was there. I mean,

330
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:46.799
<v Speaker 2>going up to Nippert, Cincinnati fans coming down here, like

331
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:49.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's it's not Kentucky as far as the

332
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:52.519
<v Speaker 2>rivalry and the animosity that comes with that, but like

333
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:54.600
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of tradition and history there and you

334
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:58.559
<v Speaker 2>want to beat them. Beating them feels better than beating

335
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:01.960
<v Speaker 2>other teams of that caliber just because of the history

336
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:05.039
<v Speaker 2>that you have. So it's gonna be weird because I'm

337
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.120
<v Speaker 2>always gonna be grateful that they took Scott Saderfield off

338
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:09.919
<v Speaker 2>our hands, but I would say, you know, let's just

339
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.159
<v Speaker 2>say in two years when Satterfield's is not there and

340
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:15.519
<v Speaker 2>if they ended up becoming like an opponent, we scheduled

341
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.279
<v Speaker 2>a series with Like I probably stopped thinking about how

342
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:20.399
<v Speaker 2>grateful I am for them taking sat off our hands

343
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:22.240
<v Speaker 2>and start, you know, wanting to beat their brains in

344
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.200
<v Speaker 2>because they are a rival. They're not Kentucky as far

345
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.159
<v Speaker 2>as the rivalry, but their arrival. So I would go

346
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:29.559
<v Speaker 2>to Cincinnati and then after that, you know, two more

347
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:32.080
<v Speaker 2>and by the way, I'm including Kentucky, like, Kentucky's gonna

348
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:34.120
<v Speaker 2>always be the game you should play, and the non

349
00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:36.080
<v Speaker 2>conferensation if you only get one, Like let's say you

350
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:39.080
<v Speaker 2>had an eleven game league schedule and you could only

351
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:42.559
<v Speaker 2>play one non conference opponent, it should be Kentucky. Now

352
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:44.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it would be, but it should

353
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:49.240
<v Speaker 2>be so Kentucky and Cincinnati the other two. I wasn't

354
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:52.240
<v Speaker 2>as I had to give it some thought, and I

355
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:55.519
<v Speaker 2>was I hesitated to go with what a lot of

356
00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:57.879
<v Speaker 2>people have already started sharing on the text line. I'm

357
00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:01.399
<v Speaker 2>seeing people on Twitter saying the same thing. But West

358
00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Virginia I kind of wanted to be like, yeah, I

359
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:04.840
<v Speaker 2>don't know if we really need to play them, like,

360
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:07.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, but but they it goes back to what

361
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:10.759
<v Speaker 2>I said about Cincinnati. If you beat West Virginia, because

362
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:14.279
<v Speaker 2>you know how disgusting and vile their fans are, there'd

363
00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:15.960
<v Speaker 2>be a little something sweet there, like it would it

364
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:19.080
<v Speaker 2>would mean a little more than beating another in any

365
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.279
<v Speaker 2>other team that's in that same status in the Big Twelve.

366
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:24.600
<v Speaker 2>And there is history there by the way, like there's

367
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:27.840
<v Speaker 2>there's they're a real rival. Again, they're not They're not Kentucky,

368
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:29.879
<v Speaker 2>and they're probably not even Cincinnati, but they're a rival.

369
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:32.399
<v Speaker 2>There was a trophy involved in the game at some point. Therefore,

370
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:35.279
<v Speaker 2>that means they are a real rival. And I feel

371
00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:37.120
<v Speaker 2>like they're good, and I don't know about Cincinnati. I

372
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:39.039
<v Speaker 2>mean again, Cincinnati did just play in the College Football

373
00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Playoff not long ago. And to be fair, they've proven,

374
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:45.799
<v Speaker 2>meaning Cincinnati, that if they have a competent coach, they

375
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.279
<v Speaker 2>can win. I mean, Luke Fickle did a great job there,

376
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Brian Kelly did a great job there. Even Tubberville before

377
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:53.799
<v Speaker 2>it fell apart, had a good start there. Like you

378
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:56.919
<v Speaker 2>can win at Cincinnati. So there's also I want to

379
00:16:56.919 --> 00:16:59.399
<v Speaker 2>play teams that if you beat them, maybe they have

380
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:01.600
<v Speaker 2>a down year occasionally, and there's not a whole lot

381
00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:04.160
<v Speaker 2>of value there, but more often than not, there's gonna

382
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:05.880
<v Speaker 2>be at least some value in beating a team like that.

383
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:08.039
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnati's terrible now, but like, you know, wouldn't be a

384
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:10.079
<v Speaker 2>shocker that if in a couple of years they get

385
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:12.799
<v Speaker 2>a new coach and they're not a top fifteen team annually,

386
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:14.759
<v Speaker 2>but like there's some value in that victory if you

387
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:17.200
<v Speaker 2>beat them. Same thing of you said for West Virginia.

388
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:21.480
<v Speaker 2>They've not transitioned to the Big twelve very well, but

389
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:24.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, you're not scared of play in them. You

390
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:26.240
<v Speaker 2>feel like you could consistently beat them and it wouldn't

391
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:30.519
<v Speaker 2>be doing anything that's you know, that special, and maybe

392
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.319
<v Speaker 2>every now and then when you beat them, they're pretty good.

393
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:40.279
<v Speaker 2>So West Virginia, Cincinnati, Kentucky and then my fourth I

394
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:42.160
<v Speaker 2>don't love this one, but this is what I decided

395
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:50.039
<v Speaker 2>to go with. John Tennessee interesting close enough, they're a

396
00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:53.559
<v Speaker 2>big brand, and they're the one game that you would know,

397
00:17:55.319 --> 00:18:00.799
<v Speaker 2>probably on a consistent basis, you wouldn't be favored. Now,

398
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting a little ahead of myself here, Becausehype has

399
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:04.400
<v Speaker 2>done a good job of getting them turned around. But

400
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:07.799
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee post Phil Follmer like they were. They were, they

401
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:09.880
<v Speaker 2>were not scary, Like didn't Indiana play them in a

402
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:12.359
<v Speaker 2>bowl game? They didn't barely lost. Is a field goal,

403
00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:13.920
<v Speaker 2>wasn't it? I think it was like a last twenty

404
00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:15.480
<v Speaker 2>four something like that. I feel like it was like

405
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:17.279
<v Speaker 2>a last second field goal or something. But or maybe

406
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:19.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking of the Indiana Duke game, same thing. I mean,

407
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:22.720
<v Speaker 2>that happened in the last second field goal too. So Tennessee,

408
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:24.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm not I'm not saying, yeah, you better

409
00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:27.000
<v Speaker 2>go play Tennessee, like you know, like tenn It's not

410
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:30.599
<v Speaker 2>like Louisville. I'm picking them because I feel like, oh,

411
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:32.640
<v Speaker 2>they'd be an easy game. No, like they that would

412
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:35.599
<v Speaker 2>be of the of the non conference opponents. That's the

413
00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:37.480
<v Speaker 2>one that, like every year, you know, is going to

414
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:40.759
<v Speaker 2>be tough, even when they're not a top ten team

415
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:43.480
<v Speaker 2>or top fifteen team, Like they're gonna have personnel on

416
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:45.920
<v Speaker 2>their roster that you better pack lunch when you come

417
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.799
<v Speaker 2>and play them, because they've got SEC. I mean Tennessee

418
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:51.559
<v Speaker 2>to me, and you're starting to see it a little bit.

419
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:52.960
<v Speaker 2>You saw it a couple of years ago. I think

420
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:55.839
<v Speaker 2>hypel really was that was the big addition for them

421
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:57.759
<v Speaker 2>that that that paid off in a big way. But

422
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:03.359
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee they're the kind of school that their ceiling I

423
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:05.000
<v Speaker 2>don't know if it's back to what it once was

424
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:08.440
<v Speaker 2>many many years ago when they were actually national championship caliber,

425
00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:12.400
<v Speaker 2>But with nil and the portal, their ceiling is lifted,

426
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:15.000
<v Speaker 2>right because they're not in the same base in Tennessee

427
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:19.000
<v Speaker 2>as Alabama, Georgia, Florida. Like, they don't have a rich

428
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:21.240
<v Speaker 2>recruiting base to where they can just recruit within state

429
00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:25.160
<v Speaker 2>and you know, bring in top five classes or something

430
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.599
<v Speaker 2>like that, but they can use the portal and the

431
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:28.759
<v Speaker 2>money that they have. They have a humongous fan base.

432
00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:34.160
<v Speaker 2>So I would go with Tennessee, and they're the game

433
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:36.839
<v Speaker 2>that like it would be a destination trip for Louisville

434
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:40.359
<v Speaker 2>fans because you know, their stadium is insane. I mean,

435
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:42.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean they sell it out. I mean even when

436
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee stunk, like, they would have a full house almost

437
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:48.480
<v Speaker 2>and they've got a big, passionate fan base. So that's

438
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:52.720
<v Speaker 2>what I would go with. I would go with West Virginia, Cincinnati, Tennessee,

439
00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:56.720
<v Speaker 2>and of course they'rowing Kentucky in there as well. All Right,

440
00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:59.839
<v Speaker 2>some of the things we'll get into today. The bye

441
00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:03.400
<v Speaker 2>we sucks, but I'm gonna not complain about it anymore,

442
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:06.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, other than letting you know that it does suck.

443
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:09.799
<v Speaker 2>But yesterday I mentioned some stats about UFL football that

444
00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:12.519
<v Speaker 2>I think are encouraging. Again, maybe you don't need encouragement.

445
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you feel real good about where Louisville is and

446
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:16.519
<v Speaker 2>I do as well, but I just feel left out. Right,

447
00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:18.880
<v Speaker 2>You've only played two games against nobody's and now you've

448
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:20.640
<v Speaker 2>got a bye week this early in the season, because

449
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:24.720
<v Speaker 2>everybody's got two bi weeks now, so you know, I'm

450
00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:28.839
<v Speaker 2>feening for some real competition to see where Louisville stands,

451
00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:30.759
<v Speaker 2>But unfortunately we have to wait until next Saturday when

452
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:32.920
<v Speaker 2>they played Georgia Tech. So until then, I want to

453
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:35.920
<v Speaker 2>take a look at some numbers. And I don't want

454
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:37.640
<v Speaker 2>to nerd out too much on stats because that could

455
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:40.359
<v Speaker 2>be boring, but just some you know, like Louisville despite

456
00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:44.200
<v Speaker 2>not playing anybody, has actually jumped up quite a bit

457
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.759
<v Speaker 2>as far as the analytics, the projections, that kind of stuff.

458
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:51.400
<v Speaker 2>And look, it's probably because of Louisville dominating two bad

459
00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:54.240
<v Speaker 2>teams and other teams that Louisville plays not winning like

460
00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:57.799
<v Speaker 2>some team struggling, So we'll do that and take a

461
00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:02.920
<v Speaker 2>look at some bowl projections. Also, I do want to

462
00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:06.480
<v Speaker 2>take a look at this NCAA lawsuit, and again I

463
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:08.799
<v Speaker 2>feel like that's not interesting stuff that people would really

464
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:11.759
<v Speaker 2>care a whole lot about. However, you've got a South

465
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Dakota I think it's South Dakota, a South Dakota senator

466
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:18.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe that has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA. And

467
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:22.039
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, first of all, lawsuit overload, right, Like

468
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:24.759
<v Speaker 2>there's everybody's sueing everybody. The NCAA is getting sued left

469
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:28.799
<v Speaker 2>and right every day. But I think this lawsuit filed

470
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:32.039
<v Speaker 2>by a South Dakota senator on behalf of the lower

471
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:35.079
<v Speaker 2>level schools. I mean, he can't put in his lawsuit

472
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:36.640
<v Speaker 2>that he's doing and on behalf of anybody other than

473
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:39.920
<v Speaker 2>I guess the university's in his state. But it's such

474
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:42.200
<v Speaker 2>a no brainer as to why the nc DOUBLEA just

475
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:45.440
<v Speaker 2>doesn't need to exist anymore because this lawsuit is legit.

476
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:49.799
<v Speaker 2>Did the NAA even consider the fact that, like, it's

477
00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:54.920
<v Speaker 2>insane to hold those schools of the FCS level and

478
00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:58.680
<v Speaker 2>the G five level to the same standard financially, like

479
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:02.799
<v Speaker 2>asking them telling them that you know, they're now you know,

480
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:06.160
<v Speaker 2>they're now going to be not required but like urged

481
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:08.559
<v Speaker 2>to pay student athletes up to twenty two million dollars

482
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:12.000
<v Speaker 2>a year. They can't do that, like you know they

483
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:16.880
<v Speaker 2>when the NCUBLEA was going through the legal process to

484
00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:19.599
<v Speaker 2>try to come up with this settlement where they got

485
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:21.920
<v Speaker 2>to pay a bunch of money back because they you know,

486
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:25.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't share any money with the talent, the workers essentially

487
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:28.559
<v Speaker 2>the players. And then moving forward there would be an

488
00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:32.400
<v Speaker 2>annual amount of money that that schools are encouraged to

489
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:34.480
<v Speaker 2>pay and you know there's a max. Like they never

490
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:36.640
<v Speaker 2>had anybody from the lower level, which, by the way,

491
00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:40.440
<v Speaker 2>they still exist, right, the fcs and the G five

492
00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:42.039
<v Speaker 2>are still part of the n double A. Like why

493
00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:44.759
<v Speaker 2>you would not have somebody representing that group of schools

494
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:49.559
<v Speaker 2>within this negotiation is just malpractice and like they have

495
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:52.599
<v Speaker 2>every right to say, you didn't, like you can't do this,

496
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:54.359
<v Speaker 2>like we're not like, you know, we're not the same.

497
00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:56.279
<v Speaker 2>So long story short. The reason I think it's interesting

498
00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.200
<v Speaker 2>is because it could be where you finally see that

499
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:05.160
<v Speaker 2>divide and everybody realizes what are we doing here? You know,

500
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:10.559
<v Speaker 2>Jacksonville State is not the same thing as Louisville. You know,

501
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:15.000
<v Speaker 2>butt Crack State is not the same thing as Indiana.

502
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Did I get it wrong again? I hope butt Crack

503
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:19.599
<v Speaker 2>State's not the same thing as Indiana. I mean, but

504
00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:23.319
<v Speaker 2>Indiana used to be on caliber with the same caliber

505
00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:25.319
<v Speaker 2>program as butt Crackstate. But now they got signetti and

506
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:27.880
<v Speaker 2>they're not. That's fair, it's changed. So anyways, we're loaded

507
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:29.720
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the way. Don't forget. Also, we've got tickets,

508
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:31.880
<v Speaker 2>as I mentioned earlier, Brooks and Down. We'll give them

509
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:34.799
<v Speaker 2>away at five thirty at four oh five. Coming up

510
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:36.799
<v Speaker 2>here in about thirty five minutes or so, we're going

511
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:39.680
<v Speaker 2>to be joined by Kent Spencer from WHS eleven. So

512
00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:42.240
<v Speaker 2>stick with us. It's a Wednesday edition Coffee and Company,

513
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:46.000
<v Speaker 2>fuel about Thornton's right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

514
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:49.200
<v Speaker 2>That's right, it is Coffee and Company, and we are

515
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:51.640
<v Speaker 2>fueled by Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven to ninety.

00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:54.079
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate you hanging out with us. Also appreciate our friends

518
00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:58.960
<v Speaker 2>a member of the Refreshment Awards program. If you haven't already,

519
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:01.039
<v Speaker 2>it's easy to do. You can download the app in

520
00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:05.200
<v Speaker 2>the iTunes App Store or the Google Play Store. Again,

521
00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:07.440
<v Speaker 2>it's easy to do, it's free, and you'll save money

522
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:10.039
<v Speaker 2>at the gas pump. In fact, twenty five cents off

523
00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:12.160
<v Speaker 2>on your initial fill up after you sign up. So again,

524
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:14.279
<v Speaker 2>take advantage of that, all right. I was telling John

525
00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:17.599
<v Speaker 2>this before the show today, super random thing happened that

526
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:19.880
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it's got to be like some kind

527
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:21.400
<v Speaker 2>of a sign. I don't know what the sign is,

528
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:24.119
<v Speaker 2>but when I got here today, it was like one

529
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:27.519
<v Speaker 2>thirty ish one forty five around there, and usually somebody's

530
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:29.839
<v Speaker 2>in the studio until about two, and because I wasn't

531
00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:31.640
<v Speaker 2>feeling well, I just wanted to be outside in the

532
00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:35.119
<v Speaker 2>fresh air and you know, honestly like get the day started,

533
00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:38.480
<v Speaker 2>because I've been feeling like crap since last night. So

534
00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:41.119
<v Speaker 2>I ended up going and sitting in one of the

535
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:44.359
<v Speaker 2>tables here at four Street Live. We're on the second level,

536
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:47.200
<v Speaker 2>so there's some tables that are set out that I

537
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:49.640
<v Speaker 2>never see anybody sitting. Add to you, John, No, I've

538
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:51.440
<v Speaker 2>never seen anybody at them. But I guess like if

539
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:53.799
<v Speaker 2>you work downtown or you work in four Street Live

540
00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:55.160
<v Speaker 2>like we do, you can just go out there and

541
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:57.279
<v Speaker 2>you eat your lunch and you know, have a smoke break. Yeah,

542
00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:00.240
<v Speaker 2>it's a beautiful day out. So I went and sat down,

543
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:02.680
<v Speaker 2>and I was actually finishing finishing up a phone call,

544
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:05.079
<v Speaker 2>but I had set at the far table, on the

545
00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:07.920
<v Speaker 2>far seat that you know is the closest to the

546
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:10.519
<v Speaker 2>balcony where I can overlook and see you know, the

547
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:12.720
<v Speaker 2>lower you know, the main level of four Street down

548
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:14.720
<v Speaker 2>there where sports and socialists and you know where they

549
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:17.880
<v Speaker 2>have the concerts and whatnot. So I'm sitting there, I

550
00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:20.599
<v Speaker 2>don't know, maybe ten minutes or so, and I happened

551
00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:23.799
<v Speaker 2>to look down and there's a woman that is that

552
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:27.279
<v Speaker 2>is walking walking towards the other end of four Street

553
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:30.079
<v Speaker 2>live and she's kind of like looking up to see,

554
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:32.319
<v Speaker 2>like what's up here on the second level where we are,

555
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:37.000
<v Speaker 2>And sure enough it's my mother. I randomly ran into

556
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:40.079
<v Speaker 2>my mother, and you know, she knows I work here,

557
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:42.119
<v Speaker 2>but she'd never been to the to the to the

558
00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:44.920
<v Speaker 2>she's never been up here where we where we are.

559
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:47.200
<v Speaker 2>In fact, she's been four Street, but like she's never

560
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:49.920
<v Speaker 2>seen our offices here or anything like that. And she

561
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:52.319
<v Speaker 2>works downtown, she has for a long time, but it's

562
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:54.119
<v Speaker 2>like four blocks away it's really not that close. But

563
00:25:54.160 --> 00:25:55.680
<v Speaker 2>I guess, you know, she was making her walk to

564
00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:59.079
<v Speaker 2>the Walgreens or at CVS. I think it might be CVS.

565
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:02.160
<v Speaker 2>That's that's down here across from the seal box. So

566
00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:05.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm like mom, and then so I ended

567
00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:07.200
<v Speaker 2>up walking down there and talking. But like it, it's

568
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:10.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you've probably ran into somebody that, like you

569
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:12.920
<v Speaker 2>talked to every day, or maybe you talk to every

570
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:14.599
<v Speaker 2>other day, or somebody that you're really close with, and

571
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:16.240
<v Speaker 2>you just happen to not know that you're gonna be

572
00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:18.000
<v Speaker 2>at a certain place at the same time. Again, it's

573
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:20.599
<v Speaker 2>not as if I randomly saw her in another country.

574
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:23.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, she was literally about fifty yards from where

575
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:27.079
<v Speaker 2>I work, but like we never you know, just I

576
00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:28.799
<v Speaker 2>never would have expected her to be there, and I've

577
00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:31.039
<v Speaker 2>never sat out there before. Like I usually walk in

578
00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:33.559
<v Speaker 2>right from the garage and just come straight into our

579
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:36.519
<v Speaker 2>building and or coming straight into our offices, and you know,

580
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:39.640
<v Speaker 2>I never would ever think to go over there. So anyways,

581
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:42.359
<v Speaker 2>she's leaving to go on a on a ten day

582
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:45.400
<v Speaker 2>vacation tomorrow, and I actually had dinner with her last

583
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:47.480
<v Speaker 2>night before they left, so she could see us and

584
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:49.000
<v Speaker 2>the kids and everything, but like, I don't know, like

585
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:50.720
<v Speaker 2>it was nice to see her one more time before

586
00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:52.960
<v Speaker 2>she leaves for you know, a long time. And that's

587
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:54.960
<v Speaker 2>that's what happens when you g a little bit older, John,

588
00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:57.400
<v Speaker 2>you start to worry about your parents, like you're their parents.

589
00:26:57.440 --> 00:26:59.799
<v Speaker 2>Like I know that her and my step dad are

590
00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:02.640
<v Speaker 2>gonna have a great trip and and you know, have

591
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:04.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot of fun, but you know, telling her to

592
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:06.440
<v Speaker 2>be careful, you know, make sure you know, check in

593
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:07.880
<v Speaker 2>when you're there, make sure you FaceTime.

594
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:08.000
<v Speaker 3>You know.

595
00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:11.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, I think they I think, well, I don't know,

596
00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:14.720
<v Speaker 2>hope not. I assume that they. I assume they think

597
00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:17.599
<v Speaker 2>it's sweet. H My dad, on the other hand, I

598
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:19.519
<v Speaker 2>kind of I'm kind of like a dad to him

599
00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:21.519
<v Speaker 2>at times about like not not you know, not really.

600
00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:24.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's he's he's the father figure in our relationship,

601
00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:27.960
<v Speaker 2>of course, but like when he tells me, yeah, I

602
00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:30.000
<v Speaker 2>had this thing going on medically, I probably should get

603
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:31.240
<v Speaker 2>it looked at him, like, well, how long's it been

604
00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:33.119
<v Speaker 2>going on? I don't know, a few months. Why haven't

605
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:34.440
<v Speaker 2>you gone to the doctor with that? Hell's wrong with you?

606
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:37.519
<v Speaker 2>But I really lecture him about taking care of himself

607
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:40.359
<v Speaker 2>with which from from what I understand, he's in great health.

608
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:42.799
<v Speaker 2>But you know, when you get older, you be you know,

609
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:44.680
<v Speaker 2>and I'm a parent myself. I'm not a parent to

610
00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:47.680
<v Speaker 2>my parents, but you know, the parental uh you know,

611
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:50.720
<v Speaker 2>nature is there at times, and you know you got

612
00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:52.400
<v Speaker 2>to you gotta stay on your parents about taking care

613
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:54.119
<v Speaker 2>of themselves when they get older. And I'm very fortunate

614
00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:56.640
<v Speaker 2>to where my parents are all in great health, but uh,

615
00:27:56.680 --> 00:27:58.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, got to make sure they stay on top

616
00:27:58.599 --> 00:28:00.680
<v Speaker 2>of it, all right. So the question that I threw

617
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:02.960
<v Speaker 2>out there, We've got some responses here, And the question

618
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:07.160
<v Speaker 2>was if if we ever no longer have Power five

619
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:10.799
<v Speaker 2>versus FCS or G five teams in football, and you

620
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:13.440
<v Speaker 2>have a twelve team schedule eight conference games, of course,

621
00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:16.079
<v Speaker 2>and then you only can play your non conference games

622
00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:19.079
<v Speaker 2>against teams from the Big ten, the Big twelve of

623
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:23.000
<v Speaker 2>the SEC. I said that I would go with Kentucky's

624
00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:25.799
<v Speaker 2>a no brainer. So really I'm just asking which three

625
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:28.759
<v Speaker 2>because if you're somebody who claims that these two shouldn't

626
00:28:28.759 --> 00:28:31.720
<v Speaker 2>play each other, I'm officially kicking you out of the rivalry,

627
00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:35.079
<v Speaker 2>like you don't count anymore. You're done, I mean, don't

628
00:28:35.079 --> 00:28:36.839
<v Speaker 2>take it personal, but like, come on, like the rivalry

629
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:39.119
<v Speaker 2>should always be played. And I'm saying that as somebody

630
00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:41.519
<v Speaker 2>who hasn't beat Kentucky as a fan and like a

631
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.240
<v Speaker 2>long time. It's not like I'm just wanting to end

632
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:47.640
<v Speaker 2>it like Louisville get'll win and end it. No, like

633
00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:50.039
<v Speaker 2>they should play every year. And I know I've said

634
00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:51.480
<v Speaker 2>this many times. No need to get into it, but

635
00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:55.440
<v Speaker 2>like even if you're somebody that does find yourself not

636
00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:58.000
<v Speaker 2>hating the other as much as most fans do, like

637
00:28:58.039 --> 00:29:01.880
<v Speaker 2>you are pretty content, like you don't hate Kentucky the

638
00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:04.160
<v Speaker 2>once root for them in the National Championship when it's

639
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:06.160
<v Speaker 2>not there. Yeah, like I can't, I can't relate to that.

640
00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:09.240
<v Speaker 2>But like even if you're somebody that like is not

641
00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:12.119
<v Speaker 2>as anti the other, you would still agree that like

642
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:13.839
<v Speaker 2>the like rivalries make sports great.

643
00:29:13.880 --> 00:29:14.079
<v Speaker 3>Man.

644
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:17.200
<v Speaker 2>So I'm just including Kentucky in there as a no brainer.

645
00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:19.799
<v Speaker 2>Although maybe there is a scenario down the line where

646
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:21.599
<v Speaker 2>these two don't play each other. I mean, the scenario

647
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:23.680
<v Speaker 2>that I laid out would make it to where I mean,

648
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:26.960
<v Speaker 2>think about that, Like there's already talk that if Kentucky

649
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:28.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, if the SEC did go to nine that

650
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:31.279
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky would remove Louisville and just play their two MAX

651
00:29:31.319 --> 00:29:36.039
<v Speaker 2>schools and and an FCS team, right, But like if

652
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:39.160
<v Speaker 2>they couldn't do that and the SEC went to nine

653
00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:41.720
<v Speaker 2>and they said you only could play Power five schools

654
00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:44.559
<v Speaker 2>and they didn't schedule Louisville, I mean that would be like,

655
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:47.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's no way to be admitting you're scared,

656
00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:49.680
<v Speaker 2>yeah exactly, And I think you'd be admitting your skill.

657
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:52.000
<v Speaker 2>And here's here's what makes that whole thing crazy is that, yes,

658
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:53.559
<v Speaker 2>it would be admitting you're scared, but it evend be.

659
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:57.400
<v Speaker 2>It would be that even if you you know, like it.

660
00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Scared regardless, Yeah exactly, You're you're eliminating a for opponent

661
00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:01.160
<v Speaker 1>exactly game.

662
00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, it's scared regardless. And here's what's crazy is that

663
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:05.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe for a second Kentucky fans and a

664
00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:08.599
<v Speaker 2>football standpoint, are scared of Louisville. Like even if they

665
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:13.279
<v Speaker 2>end up winning four games in there, four and I

666
00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:15.559
<v Speaker 2>guess that would be what four and seven in the

667
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:17.839
<v Speaker 2>last game of the year in Louisville's you know, nine

668
00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:20.920
<v Speaker 2>and two or something. And I'm not predicting that's the schedules,

669
00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:22.599
<v Speaker 2>but or the records. But let's just say that it

670
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:25.039
<v Speaker 2>is they're still gonna feel like, well, it's Louisville, We'll

671
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:28.039
<v Speaker 2>still go beat them, and that's Louisvee's fault. Last year

672
00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:30.279
<v Speaker 2>could have been the year where like, even if you

673
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:32.799
<v Speaker 2>won in an ugly game and you didn't look like

674
00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:35.400
<v Speaker 2>you were, you know, dominant, but you still just won

675
00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:38.079
<v Speaker 2>the game. That would have not put an end to

676
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky fans being like confident, but it would have made

677
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:43.960
<v Speaker 2>it to where the Louisville fans could do this, Yeah,

678
00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:47.519
<v Speaker 2>you picked on Scott Sadderfield, who was easy to pick on.

679
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:51.039
<v Speaker 2>Mark Stubs could Alpha Sadderfield, He and Alpha and like

680
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:52.759
<v Speaker 2>it's a different Like we could say it's a different

681
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:54.599
<v Speaker 2>world with Jeff from which, by the way, it is,

682
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:56.920
<v Speaker 2>make no mistake about it. But the fact that in

683
00:30:57.000 --> 00:30:59.079
<v Speaker 2>Jeff's first year his team was really good and Kentucky

684
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:00.920
<v Speaker 2>wasn't and they still beat you, Like it's just it's

685
00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:04.480
<v Speaker 2>worst case scenario. So anyways, outside of Kentucky, I went

686
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:09.680
<v Speaker 2>with West Virginia, Cincinnati, and Tennessee. And if you missed it,

687
00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:12.119
<v Speaker 2>the reason I went with those two Cincinnati West Virginia

688
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:15.400
<v Speaker 2>is because one there's history there. They are rivals, You've

689
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:18.480
<v Speaker 2>played them a lot, and it feels when you do

690
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:20.640
<v Speaker 2>beat them not like it does when you beat Kentucky.

691
00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:22.720
<v Speaker 2>But clearly there's a little something extra there because of

692
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:25.359
<v Speaker 2>the history between the schools and with Tennessee. I just

693
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:27.640
<v Speaker 2>like the thought of having the one non conference opponent

694
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:29.880
<v Speaker 2>that you know, like more often than not is probably

695
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:33.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna be favored against you, and it would be a

696
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:34.799
<v Speaker 2>monster win if you could pull it off, and the

697
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:37.319
<v Speaker 2>environment going to their games in Knoxville would be great.

698
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:39.160
<v Speaker 2>They would certainly bring a lot of fans here. So

699
00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:41.440
<v Speaker 2>that's what I went with. But here are some of

700
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:45.519
<v Speaker 2>the responses. This is from Keith. He said Cincinnati, West

701
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Virginia and then UCF and then he mentioned that he

702
00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:52.440
<v Speaker 2>still has beef with beef with Storm Johnson. Yeah, that

703
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:55.920
<v Speaker 2>could have been a perfect season had Louisville not slipped

704
00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:58.920
<v Speaker 2>up and lost to Storm Johnson and Blake Bortles back

705
00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:01.200
<v Speaker 2>in Charlie Strong last year. I think it was. Yeah,

706
00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:02.960
<v Speaker 2>the only loss they had that year was to Central Florida,

707
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:05.640
<v Speaker 2>who ended up winning the Big East. I'm sorty winning

708
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:08.119
<v Speaker 2>the American and uh then they ended up beating Baylor.

709
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:09.880
<v Speaker 2>I think in a BCS game. So that was a

710
00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:12.200
<v Speaker 2>good Central Florida team, But I don't have any like,

711
00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:14.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't have any feeling towards them at all. I mean,

712
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:17.279
<v Speaker 2>in fact, Louis has played them. I mean, if you

713
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:19.759
<v Speaker 2>still got beef with Storm Johnson, Like, is there something

714
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:22.160
<v Speaker 2>more to it than that? I mean, they did beat

715
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:25.160
<v Speaker 2>us in a year that really, like Louis louisvill would

716
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:27.000
<v Speaker 2>have been undefeated that year had they not lost that game.

717
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:28.880
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, that one still stings in a way that

718
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:30.880
<v Speaker 2>like Louis has played them twice since then and beat

719
00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:34.279
<v Speaker 2>them both times, beat them down there in Orlando and

720
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:37.319
<v Speaker 2>then beat them uh here thanks to that uh that

721
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:41.839
<v Speaker 2>inner that picked six from Jalen Alderman. So yeah, I

722
00:32:41.880 --> 00:32:44.480
<v Speaker 2>don't really and yeah, that doesn't do much for me

723
00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Central Florida. But again, everybody's got their own opinion. Uh

724
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:51.400
<v Speaker 2>this says Michigan, Ohio State in Indiana New Blood and

725
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:53.480
<v Speaker 2>the home and home games would be awesome. Yeah, I

726
00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:54.759
<v Speaker 2>don't know if I want to play Ohio State and

727
00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Michigan that terrible. Yeah, because look, look I think what

728
00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:00.759
<v Speaker 2>I laid out, like those are all games that on

729
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:03.559
<v Speaker 2>any given like you could lose, right, But they're all

730
00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:07.240
<v Speaker 2>like winnable Ohio State if you played them every year,

731
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:11.640
<v Speaker 2>how many and again, any team can happen in any night,

732
00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:13.759
<v Speaker 2>right like an upset. I'm not acting like Louisville would

733
00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:16.000
<v Speaker 2>never ever be in a position to ever beat Ohio State.

734
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:20.200
<v Speaker 2>But if the pro like when they're at their best,

735
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:22.359
<v Speaker 2>and Louisville is at their best, if they played ten times,

736
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:25.519
<v Speaker 2>Louisvill's probably winning two at most, if if even that.

737
00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:28.960
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, that would be great, But like that would

738
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:32.599
<v Speaker 2>make it to where you know, it's not that I

739
00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:36.039
<v Speaker 2>want to stack wins against bums, but you could be really,

740
00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:39.119
<v Speaker 2>really good and lose ninety five percent of the time

741
00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:41.640
<v Speaker 2>you play both those teams, especially Ohio State. We'll see

742
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:45.519
<v Speaker 2>what Michigan looks like long term, because I mean, they'd

743
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:47.720
<v Speaker 2>fallen off in a major way. And even when Harball

744
00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:49.359
<v Speaker 2>was there, they were a lot better with him than

745
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:51.960
<v Speaker 2>they were prior, but they didn't really become the elite

746
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:54.000
<v Speaker 2>team until the one and the only Connor Stallions came

747
00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:57.079
<v Speaker 2>along and helped them cheat, and they did not look

748
00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:00.319
<v Speaker 2>like they belonged in the same level of football as

749
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:04.359
<v Speaker 2>Texas the other day on their home field. So you know, yeah,

750
00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:07.880
<v Speaker 2>this This is from mister Sparkle on Twitter. He says Cincinnati,

751
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Penn State in UK. I'm already including UK, mister Sparkle,

752
00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Penn State. Yeah, I mean they're They're a brand that

753
00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:16.719
<v Speaker 2>would be a good atmosphere to go to go to

754
00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:21.159
<v Speaker 2>watch games. Evan says Kentucky Cincy in West Virginia. Again,

755
00:34:21.239 --> 00:34:25.800
<v Speaker 2>like I'm including Kentucky people. I mean, it's a no brainer. Uh.

756
00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:29.440
<v Speaker 2>This says Cincinnati. This is from Harry. He says Cincinnati West.

757
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:31.480
<v Speaker 2>For everybody's saying Cincinnati West Virginia, which I guess I

758
00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:33.639
<v Speaker 2>should have expected that, but this is Ohio State, Indiana

759
00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:38.719
<v Speaker 2>or Tennessee as the others. Yeah, I uh again I Tennessee.

760
00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:41.400
<v Speaker 2>There's not like it's not like I'm you know, singling

761
00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:43.039
<v Speaker 2>them out because I think Louisville can go beat them

762
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:44.519
<v Speaker 2>annually or that like they you know, But I just

763
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:46.760
<v Speaker 2>feel like they're close enough. Like I guess you could

764
00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:49.840
<v Speaker 2>probably put I don't know, Florida in there too. They're

765
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:51.760
<v Speaker 2>not as close, but like that would be a similar

766
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:53.440
<v Speaker 2>type of game, although Florida's a con. I don't know,

767
00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:58.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting a little bit, uh, I guess caught up

768
00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:00.480
<v Speaker 2>in how good Tennessee's been under hype in the last

769
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:02.280
<v Speaker 2>few years, but really it's only this is the third

770
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:04.079
<v Speaker 2>year that they're looking that they're like expected to be

771
00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:06.239
<v Speaker 2>pretty good, and they did look really good against Cincy State,

772
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:08.880
<v Speaker 2>but prior to that, they were, I mean, they were

773
00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:12.119
<v Speaker 2>pretty beatable for for a while there. Post Philip Follmer,

774
00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:17.280
<v Speaker 2>let's see this says this is from uh doctor Giggles

775
00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:20.480
<v Speaker 2>on Twitter. So we've got mister Sparkle and doctor Giggles.

776
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Those are great names, great names of I mean, I

777
00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:26.639
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't expect any different type of names from our listeners

778
00:35:26.679 --> 00:35:30.320
<v Speaker 2>doctor Sparkle and mister Giggles or doctor Giggles and mister Sparkle.

779
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:33.119
<v Speaker 2>But he says, Oklahoma stay because of Gundy, Like you

780
00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:36.639
<v Speaker 2>just not like Gundy maybe just for the memes. Yeah,

781
00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:39.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean he's a character. Cincinnati of course, and then

782
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:44.760
<v Speaker 2>TCU because they're an old Conference USA opponent. That's random

783
00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:49.239
<v Speaker 2>as hell. But you know, I kind of, uh, I

784
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:53.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of don't hate it, but for me, you got

785
00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:55.800
<v Speaker 2>to like, I don't know, like they did just play

786
00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:57.599
<v Speaker 2>in a national championship game, but I kind of feel

787
00:35:57.599 --> 00:35:59.480
<v Speaker 2>like it's going to be a big time outlier, Like

788
00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:01.960
<v Speaker 2>that's gonna be trivia question that like nobody would ever

789
00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:04.320
<v Speaker 2>get right, Like of these schools who's played in a

790
00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:10.280
<v Speaker 2>national championship TCU, Baylor or Oklahoma State. Like maybe somebody

791
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:12.679
<v Speaker 2>would get TCU right, but like that's such a random thing,

792
00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:15.920
<v Speaker 2>and they don't look to be that good now, So

793
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:18.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't hate it. And again, there's no

794
00:36:18.920 --> 00:36:21.480
<v Speaker 2>right or wrong, it's just your opinion. All right, quick break,

795
00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:23.760
<v Speaker 2>we'll come back on the other side. We'll let you

796
00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:28.679
<v Speaker 2>know what percentage chance Louisville has to win each of

797
00:36:28.679 --> 00:36:32.719
<v Speaker 2>the remaining games according to the ESPN FPI. I'll be consistent.

798
00:36:33.360 --> 00:36:35.079
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a flawed formula. But you know what,

799
00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:36.760
<v Speaker 2>they shove it in her face all the time because

800
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:38.559
<v Speaker 2>you know it's the four letter network. But if you

801
00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:40.280
<v Speaker 2>are somebody that does have a high opinion of the

802
00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:43.239
<v Speaker 2>of the FPI, then you know you're gonna feel pretty

803
00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:44.920
<v Speaker 2>good about what they think Louisville. So stick with us.

<v Speaker 2>You know you're there? HELLU do we lose him? I

814
00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:15.800
<v Speaker 2>hear something.

815
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he's unaware that we were going to take him

816
00:37:18.360 --> 00:37:19.400
<v Speaker 1>this earlier or something like that.

817
00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:20.599
<v Speaker 2>You know you're there?

818
00:37:21.320 --> 00:37:24.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Yeah, I'm here, man. Sorry, hey man, I wanted

819
00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:27.199
<v Speaker 3>to how you doing, brothers. I've been listening to you

820
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:29.519
<v Speaker 3>man and just didn't get a chance to call in.

821
00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:33.920
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, man, I wanted me and my brother was

822
00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:39.440
<v Speaker 3>debating today and I had to argue that a freshman quarterback,

823
00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:42.239
<v Speaker 3>I mean, brand speaking new, straight out of high school

824
00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:47.440
<v Speaker 3>starting a high intense game. I don't know, maybe against

825
00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:51.559
<v Speaker 3>a big program. I think a freshman quarterback is more

826
00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:56.920
<v Speaker 3>likely to succeed in that environment versus a rookie quarterback

827
00:37:57.079 --> 00:37:59.440
<v Speaker 3>straight out of college in the NFL in a high

828
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:02.239
<v Speaker 3>intensity Yeah, and I wanted to get shipped out on that.

829
00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:02.519
<v Speaker 2>Man.

830
00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:03.719
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna hang up and listen.

831
00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Go thank you you know, appreciate it, brother, Yeah, I uh.

832
00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:13.039
<v Speaker 2>As far as the quarterbacks in those situations in regards

833
00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:15.679
<v Speaker 2>to like how like are they are they set up

834
00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:19.239
<v Speaker 2>to succeed? I think in the NFL, it just depends

835
00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:21.800
<v Speaker 2>on your situation more than anything else. I mean, I

836
00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:24.199
<v Speaker 2>think in the NFL, if you go to a team

837
00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:29.400
<v Speaker 2>like Kayla Williams with the Bears, I think you know

838
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:33.960
<v Speaker 2>as good as he is. Him having individual success is

839
00:38:33.960 --> 00:38:37.159
<v Speaker 2>one thing, but him being so successful that the Bears

840
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:40.920
<v Speaker 2>become a really really good team. And with just that

841
00:38:41.079 --> 00:38:44.679
<v Speaker 2>being like the big acquisition, right, Like, let's say your personnel,

842
00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:47.599
<v Speaker 2>your coaching staff is relatively the same, but you were

843
00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:50.679
<v Speaker 2>so bad that you ended up with a top three

844
00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:52.639
<v Speaker 2>pick and you picked a quarterback and really the again,

845
00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:55.320
<v Speaker 2>the big the big change from year one to year

846
00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:57.400
<v Speaker 2>two or the next year, I should say, would be

847
00:38:57.400 --> 00:38:59.440
<v Speaker 2>that you drafted this rookie quarterback. Like, I feel like

848
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:03.440
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna have a tough time giving them results right away?

849
00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:06.239
<v Speaker 2>Now can you have success and show upside and make

850
00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:08.039
<v Speaker 2>it look as if they made a good investment. Totally

851
00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:10.320
<v Speaker 2>different conversation there, because there's been many quarterbacks that get

852
00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:13.519
<v Speaker 2>thrown under the fire their teams win you know, seven

853
00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:16.719
<v Speaker 2>eight games, not in contention for the playoff or really

854
00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:19.239
<v Speaker 2>to do anything in the postseason. But yet you can tell, Okay,

855
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:21.760
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna they made the right decision, right, they need

856
00:39:21.760 --> 00:39:23.559
<v Speaker 2>to build around him. They're going to continue to get better.

857
00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:26.280
<v Speaker 2>But that's that's their quarterback for the future. So, like,

858
00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:28.800
<v Speaker 2>I think it'd be tougher to actually succeed. I think

859
00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:32.320
<v Speaker 2>if you're a true freshman quarterback, especially now with the

860
00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:36.559
<v Speaker 2>way these guys, the highly regarded quarterbacks, I mean, they're

861
00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:39.880
<v Speaker 2>enrolling early, they're playing year round, not just for their

862
00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:42.599
<v Speaker 2>high school team. They're in these quarterback camps and you know,

863
00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:45.039
<v Speaker 2>the elite eleven that kind of stuff. So I would

864
00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:48.280
<v Speaker 2>say that if you, like, for example, nobody's starting true

865
00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:52.719
<v Speaker 2>freshman quarterbacks anymore in college unless you have any elite

866
00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:57.559
<v Speaker 2>one that you know is that good or you know

867
00:39:57.800 --> 00:40:00.639
<v Speaker 2>you have you know, you have no other option, right Like,

868
00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:02.000
<v Speaker 2>you can't go to the portal and get a great

869
00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:04.199
<v Speaker 2>quarterback because you're not an appealing program. You don't have

870
00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:08.519
<v Speaker 2>an il. So like right now, Dylan Reola Nebraska, who

871
00:40:08.840 --> 00:40:10.599
<v Speaker 2>looks a lot like and clearly wants to look a

872
00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:13.639
<v Speaker 2>lot like Patrick Mahomes, he's the number two quarterback in

873
00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:16.000
<v Speaker 2>the country coming out of high school, and he is,

874
00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:17.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, gonna have a lot of success from Nebraska

875
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:19.320
<v Speaker 2>this year. I don't think they're going to maybe I

876
00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:20.800
<v Speaker 2>don't mean they're gonna win the Big Ten, but like

877
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:22.920
<v Speaker 2>he's going to be a factor in their success because

878
00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:26.239
<v Speaker 2>he has the talent and he's got veterans around him,

879
00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:28.800
<v Speaker 2>probably guys from the portal that have played college football

880
00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:32.239
<v Speaker 2>for you know, three four years. Even so I would

881
00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:34.840
<v Speaker 2>say you have a better chance, Like, first of all,

882
00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:37.199
<v Speaker 2>you gotta have talent, right, Like if we're talking about

883
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:40.280
<v Speaker 2>guys that are believed to be worthy of being a

884
00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:42.639
<v Speaker 2>top draft pick at a quarterback in the NFL, or

885
00:40:42.679 --> 00:40:45.519
<v Speaker 2>a guy that is legitimately worthy of the five star

886
00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:48.559
<v Speaker 2>billing he's getting out of high school, I would say

887
00:40:48.760 --> 00:40:51.320
<v Speaker 2>that the best chance for that player to not only

888
00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:54.079
<v Speaker 2>have success but provides success to the team when it

889
00:40:54.079 --> 00:40:56.519
<v Speaker 2>comes to wins and losses would be the high school

890
00:40:56.840 --> 00:40:59.800
<v Speaker 2>the college freshman quarterback. That's just but again, really to

891
00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:03.559
<v Speaker 2>p on the situation, like for example, Lamar and even Teddy,

892
00:41:03.960 --> 00:41:05.800
<v Speaker 2>those guys got drafted at the end of the first round.

893
00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:07.239
<v Speaker 2>You know why because they went to teams that were

894
00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:08.880
<v Speaker 2>pretty good the year before. So when you plug those

895
00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:11.159
<v Speaker 2>guys in, they're already joining a team that's pretty well

896
00:41:11.159 --> 00:41:13.760
<v Speaker 2>put together. That's why Russell Wilson was able to succeed

897
00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:17.000
<v Speaker 2>so much with Seattle when he got there. They were

898
00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:19.320
<v Speaker 2>built to be successful. He just had to really be

899
00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:22.400
<v Speaker 2>a game manager and not screw up. Good question, you know,

900
00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:24.960
<v Speaker 2>and appreciate you calling. Good to hear from you as always.

901
00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:26.800
<v Speaker 2>All right, not a lot of time left here, but

902
00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:30.239
<v Speaker 2>real quick as far as the FPI, and again, I

903
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:32.239
<v Speaker 2>know a lot of people, you know, myself included, don't

904
00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:34.239
<v Speaker 2>really think the FPI is all that valuable, but it

905
00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:37.159
<v Speaker 2>is something to gauge at this point, you know, when

906
00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:38.519
<v Speaker 2>you are on a bye week and you know you're

907
00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:40.119
<v Speaker 2>trying to see how you stack up and how your

908
00:41:40.119 --> 00:41:43.239
<v Speaker 2>schedule looks after everybody's played at least a couple of games.

909
00:41:43.239 --> 00:41:47.159
<v Speaker 2>So right now, the only two games Louisville has a

910
00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:51.719
<v Speaker 2>bigger percentage chance of losing than winning is Clemson. They

911
00:41:51.719 --> 00:41:55.800
<v Speaker 2>have a forty five point seven percent chance of beating

912
00:41:55.800 --> 00:42:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Clemson according to the FPI, and they have a forty

913
00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:04.079
<v Speaker 2>four percent chance of beating Notre Dames, so pretty close.

914
00:42:04.119 --> 00:42:06.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, are those are close to fifty to fifty

915
00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:08.440
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, Clemson, you had a fifty five

916
00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:11.039
<v Speaker 2>percent chance of beating them last week, but they demolished

917
00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:13.719
<v Speaker 2>app State, which, of course the FPI is gonna crunch

918
00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:15.400
<v Speaker 2>not only did you win or lose, but the other

919
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:17.199
<v Speaker 2>numbers like how much did you win by that kind

920
00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:20.559
<v Speaker 2>of stuff, So you know, not saying it means a

921
00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:23.800
<v Speaker 2>whole lot, but from a percentage standpoint, when they crunch

922
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:26.679
<v Speaker 2>the numbers, they run this formula. Louisville is expected to

923
00:42:26.679 --> 00:42:28.760
<v Speaker 2>win every game other than those two. But again those

924
00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:30.480
<v Speaker 2>two right now, it's not as if you know, there's

925
00:42:30.519 --> 00:42:32.639
<v Speaker 2>a huge difference. Here's a forty five, forty four percent

926
00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:34.360
<v Speaker 2>chance for those two games. I mean, John, you were

927
00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:38.400
<v Speaker 2>telling me Indiana they're now and the FPI projected to win,

928
00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:41.119
<v Speaker 2>have a better chance of winning every game but two, right.

929
00:42:41.079 --> 00:42:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, every game I'm looking at them right now except

930
00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:45.559
<v Speaker 1>for Michigan and Ohio State towards the end of the season,

931
00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:47.320
<v Speaker 1>which it makes total sense. It makes it feel like

932
00:42:47.400 --> 00:42:49.880
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of I mean, you already said to flawed formula,

933
00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:51.599
<v Speaker 1>and I think this not that Indiana can't have a

934
00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:54.280
<v Speaker 1>great season, but like that just seems way out of reach.

935
00:42:54.320 --> 00:42:56.079
<v Speaker 1>But maybe it's just because I'm not used to something

936
00:42:56.119 --> 00:42:56.280
<v Speaker 1>like that.

937
00:42:56.360 --> 00:42:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's it's new, it's different. Indiana usually is not

938
00:42:58.960 --> 00:43:01.079
<v Speaker 2>a team that makes spected it to beat many teams

939
00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:03.119
<v Speaker 2>in the Big Ten. But it is fun to see.

940
00:43:03.199 --> 00:43:05.559
<v Speaker 2>But you expect him to beat UCLA this weekend. I

941
00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:07.719
<v Speaker 2>do expect him to beat Ucla. How about how about

942
00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Signetty taking the Hoosiers to La as favorites.

943
00:43:11.760 --> 00:43:14.400
<v Speaker 1>That's something that if this game was played in Week one,

944
00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:16.639
<v Speaker 1>Ucla is probably favored by eight or nine points.

945
00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:18.559
<v Speaker 2>I would agree with those lines. I would agree. All right,

946
00:43:18.599 --> 00:43:20.760
<v Speaker 2>quick break, we'll come back on the other side and

947
00:43:20.840 --> 00:43:22.480
<v Speaker 2>we will get the four o'clock hour started with the

948
00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:25.400
<v Speaker 2>one and only Kent Spencer from WHAS eleven. Stick with
