Speaker 2: Have some text I want to get you a little
Speaker 2: bit later on that that have come in today, but
Speaker 2: usually by tonight or Tomorrow's when I'll start taking a
Speaker 2: look at, you know, the we the you know, the
Speaker 2: upcoming games and not on the NFL, but also in
Speaker 2: college football. And because Louisville's coming off a bye week
Speaker 2: and they've got their first test, I really haven't paid,
Speaker 2: you know, a whole lot of attention to the uh,
Speaker 2: you know, the slate, as they say, at least not yet.
Speaker 3: I'll get to it. But when it comes to this.
Speaker 2: Louisville game, I'm gonna do a little look here to
Speaker 2: see if we've got any early info here on what
Speaker 2: betters are doing here. So right now, it opened up
Speaker 2: at Georgia Tech plus nine and a half. It's now
Speaker 2: at Georgia Tech plus ten and a half. I'm a
Speaker 2: little surprised by that. I think Louisville is a good team.
Speaker 2: I think Georgia Tech's a good team. I think Louisville
Speaker 2: has the edge, but you know, Georgia Tech's more tested.
Speaker 2: They're not coming in here. I mean they've already taken
Speaker 2: a loss. They've lost to Syracuse, a team that looks
Speaker 2: to be solid this year. We'll see if that plays
Speaker 2: out to be the case for the rest of the year.
Speaker 2: They did beat Florida State, and man, Florida States made
Speaker 2: it to where you really don't know what to make
Speaker 2: of that win. The George Tech got against him. They
Speaker 2: took care of state against George. They took care of
Speaker 2: business against Georgia State the following week, and they're coming
Speaker 2: off of a blowout victory against VMIS. So they're sitting
Speaker 2: here two and one with their one loss being the
Speaker 2: Qus on the road. Now they've got another road game
Speaker 2: coming here to Louisville. And we let you you know,
Speaker 2: we didn't play the sound. But Brent Pryor is a
Speaker 2: Brent Key. I get a mixed up. There's two Brents.
Speaker 2: One's the coach at Virginia Tech. One's the coach at
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech. It's easy for me to get for me
Speaker 2: to get confused, I'm pretty sure it's Brent Key.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is Brint Key.
Speaker 2: So you know, I'm looking here at at at some
Speaker 2: of the you know, if you got a sports line
Speaker 2: dot Com, not to give him a free plug, but
Speaker 2: they've got a lot of good info when it comes
Speaker 2: to sports wagering and whatnot, and they've got those that
Speaker 2: make their make their expert picks. And uh, the first
Speaker 2: pick that's been logged here from their experts at sportsline
Speaker 2: dot Com is Georgia Tech plus eleven and a half.
Speaker 2: So what he's done is he's he's added a point
Speaker 2: to make it, to make it, you know, where they
Speaker 2: don't have to. You know, he's he's he's losing some
Speaker 2: juice here on the bet, but he's more confident in
Speaker 2: them covering eleven and a half. But you know, not
Speaker 2: ten and a half or nine and a half, which
Speaker 2: is what it what it was in the uh, in
Speaker 2: the opening line. But this game last year, like people
Speaker 2: keep bringing up how close it was last year, and
Speaker 2: it was. But more than anything, I think it was
Speaker 2: due to the fact that that Louisville just kind of
Speaker 2: came out and honestly, can I say it, Jack Plumber,
Speaker 2: like he was really bad in that first half. We
Speaker 2: didn't know what we had. It was a veteran quarterback
Speaker 2: who played for Brahm, who transferred in from cal And
Speaker 2: you know, Jack settled in and certainly did did his
Speaker 2: part to help Louisville get to a ten win season.
Speaker 2: But we all know last year it certainly felt like
Speaker 2: a good chunk of the season that when it comes
Speaker 2: to your offense, your weakness was your quarterback as far
Speaker 2: as his consistency and whatnot, decision making those things.
Speaker 3: So, you know, I don't to go.
Speaker 2: Back to what I talked about yesterday when people bring
Speaker 2: up like previous trends from years back, like that didn't
Speaker 2: have anything to do with this year, especially when you've
Speaker 2: got teams that are you know, most of the most
Speaker 2: teams I think at the power for level, not all,
Speaker 2: but a lot of them are gonna be vastly different
Speaker 2: every year now because of the portal. So I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: I know it was competitive last year into Louisville and
Speaker 2: the second half really took over.
Speaker 3: But you know, I.
Speaker 2: There's something that adds a level of excitement here knowing
Speaker 2: that I don't know what to expect. I think Louisville
Speaker 2: fans should expect to win, and if not, I think
Speaker 2: it should make you kind of reset what you think
Speaker 2: this team can do, because, with all due respect to
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech, you're gonna play a lot better teams than
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech in my opinion. I mean, right now, I'm
Speaker 2: not sure Georgia Tech's better in Boston College, which is
Speaker 2: crazy to say, but Bill O'Brien's a hell of a coach.
Speaker 2: And they just took Missouri to the wire at Missouri
Speaker 2: who which is crazy to say it out loud, but
Speaker 2: it's true. Missouri is a top ten team right now.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I believe that they're that good,
Speaker 2: but they're coming off of a special season a year ago,
Speaker 2: and so far they've they've managed to look pretty good
Speaker 2: so far early on in this season. So you know,
Speaker 2: there's all kinds of layers here to this matchup that
Speaker 2: has me excited. The biggest one is that it's the
Speaker 2: first test to kind of see where Louisville is. But also,
Speaker 2: you know, the unknown, right That's that's I mean, the
Speaker 2: intrigue of the unknown is something that does excite me.
Speaker 2: It does excite me. But again, if you if you
Speaker 2: struggle with Georgia Tech and lose, it doesn't mean that
Speaker 2: you're destined to lose the next games that you have
Speaker 2: on the slate, but like a home loss to Georgia Tech,
Speaker 2: what would that do? What would that do for your
Speaker 2: vibe heading to the road, heading on the road to
Speaker 2: play Notre Dame in South Bend just a week later.
Speaker 2: I mean doesn't mean you can't win. Northern Illinois did it,
Speaker 2: But I just I would love for Louisville to not
Speaker 2: only win, and I'm not trying to get greedy here,
Speaker 2: but I'd love for them to, you know, win and
Speaker 2: not really even make a statement because I don't know
Speaker 2: if you can really make a statement here. If you won,
Speaker 2: like fifty six to seven, yeah, that would be a statement.
Speaker 2: But would the statement be more about Georgia Tech or Louisville.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I guess that could be for whoever wants to make
Speaker 2: that determination to decide. But I really like the thought
Speaker 2: of having momentum when you go to Notre Dame because
Speaker 2: here's best case, I mean the best case scenarios. You
Speaker 2: went out, which is unlikely, but you take care of
Speaker 2: business against Georgia Tech, you win, you feel good coming
Speaker 2: off that win. You go into Notre Dame. I still
Speaker 2: think you're going to be underdogs there, so that would
Speaker 2: be an upsome set and I don't know. I can
Speaker 2: we still say, John, you're an outsider, you're not a
Speaker 2: Louisville fan. Winning at South Bend. That would put Notre
Speaker 2: Dame with two losses and essentially out of the playoff
Speaker 2: for good.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 2: Again, And that becomes like that, that becomes the bigger
Speaker 2: takeaway from that outcome than Louisville winning.
Speaker 3: Does it not much? That's exactly what happened last year?
Speaker 3: Did it not?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: But I can't remember they were coming off the Duke game, correct, Yeah,
Speaker 3: and they ended up finding a way.
Speaker 2: No Notre Dame, who did Notre Dame to lose to
Speaker 2: last year they already had I think they already had
Speaker 2: one loss, didn't they?
Speaker 4: Or maybe no?
Speaker 5: Because the not got to look at up scenario was
Speaker 5: that both teams were were unbeaten or something like that
Speaker 5: for Louisville. I'm talking about whenever they came into that game.
Speaker 5: I know you're looking it up right now, but I
Speaker 5: do remember some intrigue on the Louisville side of things.
Speaker 2: As they lost to Ohio State two weeks prior, and
Speaker 2: they should have lost to Duke at Wallace Wade Stadium.
Speaker 2: With their current quarterback Riley Leonard, who played for Duke
Speaker 2: at the time.
Speaker 3: That's what it was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ohio's State was number six in the country at
Speaker 2: that time. It was a close game fourteen seventeen, so
Speaker 2: you really didn't lose any luster if you're a Notre
Speaker 2: Dame when that happened. So how it's set up was, Yeah,
Speaker 2: they have one loss already, but they you know, they
Speaker 2: lost to Ohio State, who most teams would lose to,
Speaker 2: so they were still ranked in the top ten when
Speaker 2: you got them. They and you beat them, So yeah,
Speaker 2: it would have been even better had they beat Ohio State.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, look, it's out of your control.
Speaker 2: And even if even if Notre Dame didn't have a
Speaker 2: win against or didn't have the loss against Northern Illinois
Speaker 2: and you beat them, there'd still be people out there
Speaker 2: trying to claim Notre Dame wasn't as good. All they
Speaker 2: don't have. You know, they got a soft schedule this year.
Speaker 2: So again, it's hard for me as a fan not
Speaker 2: to get caught up in it. But you know, I
Speaker 2: think it's also normal to want people to respect your
Speaker 2: team and give them their due. Again, I probably need
Speaker 2: to remind myself moral, I need to take my own
Speaker 2: advice and say, look, you can't control it no matter
Speaker 2: what people are gonna apod because that's the thing Louisville.
Speaker 2: Let's say Louisville did pull off a really special season
Speaker 2: where they end up one loss on the year and
Speaker 2: it's against Miami at home and they beat everybody else. Again,
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's what happens, but if it did happen,
Speaker 2: I think, you know, Louisville would be clearly in position
Speaker 2: to get a rematch with Miami in the ACC Championship game.
Speaker 2: They have a good showing there and maybe their only
Speaker 2: losses to Miami, maybe they get one of those spots,
Speaker 2: maybe they beat Miami and then both those teams go
Speaker 2: to the playoff. I mean again, I'm getting way ahead
Speaker 2: of myself, and I'm not in any way predicting that
Speaker 2: that happens. What I'm saying that if it did, there
Speaker 2: would still be people out there claiming, oh, come on,
Speaker 2: we don't need two ACC teams in here. We need
Speaker 2: this thing to be represented by nearly every team being
Speaker 2: from the big ten of the SEC. Like that's just
Speaker 2: how it's gonna like. There's never no matter what you do,
Speaker 2: there's gonna be people that'll find a way to act
Speaker 2: as if you're not deserving for a spot in the playoff,
Speaker 2: or that your schedule is why you have a really
Speaker 2: good record. But I guess the reason I'm so defensive
Speaker 2: about that is that I would hate for Louisville to
Speaker 2: be because last year, I honestly believe they hit their ceiling.
Speaker 2: Like that team in all aspects, I think ten wins
Speaker 2: is probably what we should have like that, That's probably
Speaker 2: that was the ceiling. It's hard to say that because
Speaker 2: they you know, they had they had ten and should
Speaker 2: have got eleven because they should have been Kentucky. But
Speaker 2: also you could make the case they should have lost
Speaker 2: ends he stayed on the road. Heck, Indiana was a
Speaker 2: play away from taking the lead on them up there
Speaker 2: in Indianapolis. So again, I still believe the ceiling for
Speaker 2: that group was ten wins. That's what they got. Good
Speaker 2: job by Jeff Brahmin his first year, got to the
Speaker 2: ACC Championship game. I think this year, like if they
Speaker 2: look really good, if they just blow teams out, I
Speaker 2: would it would bother me a lot as a fan,
Speaker 2: even though I have no control over for people to
Speaker 2: say they're only doing that because of the league they're
Speaker 2: in and who they play. And I guess what the
Speaker 2: demon that I'm fighting is that it may play out
Speaker 2: that way right Like again, I don't think it will
Speaker 2: because I think maybe we find out that Clemson's lost
Speaker 2: to Georgia was more about Georgia than anything else. Hard
Speaker 2: to believe that now that Georgia nearly lost to Kentucky.
Speaker 2: But still Miami right now is a top ten team.
Speaker 2: Boston College, I mean, they just fell out of the rankings,
Speaker 2: but maybe they'll be back in. They lost him to
Speaker 2: Missouri on the road. SMU has not shown to be
Speaker 2: remotely good enough, you know, to be to have gotten
Speaker 2: the hype that they got heading into the ACC. I
Speaker 2: don't think anybody was claiming they were going to win
Speaker 2: the league, but you know, they were looked at as
Speaker 2: this darling that could really transition nicely to the ACC
Speaker 2: to the power for level. So I guess what my
Speaker 2: insecurity is is that I don't want to not know myself.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm talking to John here and he's
Speaker 2: like my therapist. I'm laying on the couch and he's
Speaker 2: just like he's sitting there with his with his with
Speaker 2: his paper and his like sweater vest, and he's just
Speaker 2: taking notes on what I'm saying. But like, I don't
Speaker 2: want to not even be able to know myself when
Speaker 2: it comes to like, all right, how good is this team?
Speaker 2: Because again I said this yesterday and to me it's
Speaker 2: a rather obvious observation, But I don't hear many college
Speaker 2: basket or college football fans like myself bring it up
Speaker 2: when you only play twelve games, like you could have
Speaker 2: seasons where you really don't even get a chance to
Speaker 2: figure out how good you are. Now again, you're as
Speaker 2: good as your record indicates. If you lost a lot
Speaker 2: more games than you won, your bad team. If you
Speaker 2: won a lot more games than you lost, you're a
Speaker 2: good team. But like how good will be dependent upon
Speaker 2: who you beat? So you know that's the if you
Speaker 2: just beat If you go seven and five and eight
Speaker 2: and four annually, and you just beat all the teams
Speaker 2: you know you're supposed to beat, and you losed all
Speaker 2: the teams that are expected to beat you, that are favored,
Speaker 2: like what are you?
Speaker 3: You don't know?
Speaker 2: And I have this desperation to always want to know
Speaker 2: where my team stands. And I guess my issue is
Speaker 2: that sometimes it may just play out to where you
Speaker 2: don't know. So I'm hopeful that if Louisville does end
Speaker 2: up being a really good team and they beat Georgia Tech,
Speaker 2: they go on the road and win it South Bend.
Speaker 2: They take care of business against an SMU team that
Speaker 2: I don't think is any good. They beat up on Virginia,
Speaker 2: who sucks. And then let's say they lose a close
Speaker 2: game to Miami, but then they bounce back and beat
Speaker 2: Boston College on the road. They pull off a win
Speaker 2: against Clemson in Death Valley, which sounds insane to say
Speaker 2: out loud, but let's be real, beating Clemson and Clemson
Speaker 2: is not the tall task it once was still going
Speaker 2: to be a lot easier, a lot tougher to do.
Speaker 2: It's not an easy thing to do, It's what I
Speaker 2: should say, But like, that's now a realistic thing that
Speaker 2: you could say that at least make. It's more realistic
Speaker 2: now than it used to be. And then you play Stanford,
Speaker 2: who sucks, You play pitt who sucks, and then you
Speaker 2: got Kentucky. So like if you ended up going eleven
Speaker 2: and one this year, again not predicting it because again,
Speaker 2: I don't even know how good Loivvillo is. I think
Speaker 2: we're justified in believing this is the top twenty team
Speaker 2: that has the chance to do something special, but they
Speaker 2: haven't been tested yet. That's what comes Saturday. So let's
Speaker 2: just say, hypothetically speaking, they do go eleven and one.
Speaker 2: I want to be able to say anybody doubting this
Speaker 2: team at eleven and one is foolish and their haters
Speaker 2: because look at who they've played. But really, again, you
Speaker 2: can't control it. You would need Miami to continue to
Speaker 2: do their part if they're the only team to beat you.
Speaker 2: You'd need Clemson to still look as if they were
Speaker 2: a good team, but they just happened to slip up
Speaker 2: and lose to a good Louisville team. And again, all
Speaker 2: those things r out of your control. So I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna let it ride. That's all I can do as
Speaker 2: a fan. And I think Louisville beating Georgia Tech and
Speaker 2: then beating Notre Dame a week later, like I want
Speaker 2: there to be a level of hype that is that
Speaker 2: because again I feel like again this is like a
Speaker 2: psychological thing with me. If you remember last year when
Speaker 2: Louisville did start off five and oh or was it
Speaker 2: five and oh or six games?
Speaker 4: Five?
Speaker 2: I think it was five, Yeah, I think it was
Speaker 2: it was six. Either way, They got off to a
Speaker 2: great start and then they beat Notre Dame at home,
Speaker 2: and that led to people, at least even though it
Speaker 2: was a four team playoff, there were people out there
Speaker 2: looking at the rest of the acc not knowing who
Speaker 2: was good or not and thinking to themselves like, damn,
Speaker 2: could Louisville be Could Louisville be in the playoff? And
Speaker 2: just by where we were in the season, they had
Speaker 2: a top ten resume win at that time, they looked
Speaker 2: pretty good. Their league was winnable. Like it wasn't crazy
Speaker 2: to say that at that time, but I couldn't really.
Speaker 2: I was just so intoxicated by brom being home. They're
Speaker 2: being new life within the fan base to where I
Speaker 2: wouldn't even think it playoff. I'm just thinking, you know,
Speaker 2: this is awesome. I'm gonna live in the moment here.
Speaker 2: So anyways, Louisville, Georgia Tech, We've got you covered. Pregame
Speaker 2: show will start at two thirty, presented by Jefferson Animal
Speaker 2: Hospital and Pellow Windows and Doors of Central Kentucky. So
Speaker 2: two thirty to three thirty will be the pregame show.
Speaker 2: Kick off at three thirty, and as soon as the
Speaker 2: game ends, you'll come back here the Sports Talk seven
Speaker 2: ninety for the Louisville Football postgame show presented by Alex R.
Speaker 3: White Lawyers.
Speaker 2: To Distracted Driver dot com, I've had a lot of
Speaker 2: different reaction on the text line in regards to the
Speaker 2: potential traffic nightmare on on Saturday. Some people claim they're
Speaker 2: actually not gonna go to the game because they're worried
Speaker 2: about being caught in traffic and like it impacting their experience.
Speaker 2: One person has said that, So it's not as if
Speaker 2: like everybody's saying that. But I mean, I mean, aren't
Speaker 2: there ways around? I mean, I don't know, there's a lot.
Speaker 2: The thing about the fairgrounds is there's a lot of
Speaker 2: ways to get in. I know, sometimes they block off
Speaker 2: certain exits after they fill up a certain capacity of
Speaker 2: the fairgrounds. So maybe the later in the day that
Speaker 2: it gets, the tougher it will be to get in.
Speaker 2: So I mean, I tend to lean more towards it's
Speaker 2: going to be more hype than actually being that much
Speaker 2: of a nightmare. Just because we've already talked about it
Speaker 2: being that way and that's typically how it works. I
Speaker 2: feel like maybe I'm wrong, And I mean, you never
Speaker 2: know if people are consuming you know, sports talk radio
Speaker 2: like this. I mean like you never really know what
Speaker 2: people are truly aware of. But I feel like if
Speaker 2: you just expect to just roll in like you typically
Speaker 2: would on any other Louisville football game, like like again,
Speaker 2: you could prepare to leave way earlier and still get
Speaker 2: caught up in traffic like nobody knows, but like, this
Speaker 2: is at least something that will be expected, right, It's
Speaker 2: not like, Wow, there was a very unexpected eighteen car
Speaker 2: pile up on sixty five where nobody could get to
Speaker 2: the game. So again, there's no scenario where you're sitting
Speaker 2: in traffic and you're like, well, okay, I'm happy about
Speaker 2: this and I'm not upset because I knew it was
Speaker 2: gonna beach. I knew it was gonna happen like nobody's
Speaker 2: I mean, anytime you're inconvenience and you can't get somewhere,
Speaker 2: you're frustrated.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm I'm.
Speaker 2: Very bad at that. So I would just encourage you to,
Speaker 2: you know, get there. As early as possible, because I
Speaker 2: think that would be the best case scenario for you
Speaker 2: to avoid a big mess of traffic from the music
Speaker 2: festival and if the weather's on your side. Like U
Speaker 2: of L, I mean, they're not paying me to say this,
Speaker 2: trust me. It's not like I'm trying to you know,
Speaker 2: send them business. But the Alley is an awesome place
Speaker 2: to go tailgate, and you can tailgate without having a
Speaker 2: parking pass, without bringing anything. They've got food trucks, they've
Speaker 2: got you know, you can get any kind of drink
Speaker 2: you want. They usually have live entertainment, they've got areas
Speaker 2: for the kids to play cornhole, like the Alley was
Speaker 2: a really really awesome investment from u of L to
Speaker 2: give folks a chance to like participate because I know
Speaker 2: a lot of people like this sounds crazy because tailgating
Speaker 2: is such a big part of the college football experience
Speaker 2: for a lot of people. But over the years, the
Speaker 2: more I've done this and met more fans like they're
Speaker 2: people who've had season tickets for years that never tailgate.
Speaker 2: It's just not their thing, right, They're not, you know,
Speaker 2: they don't They're not somebody that wants to, you know,
Speaker 2: have some pre game beers. They'll eat before they go,
Speaker 2: like you know, and look, if you pay for a ticket,
Speaker 2: do whatever you want, right, Like, you don't have to tailgate,
Speaker 2: it's not a requirement, but like if you knew, you
Speaker 2: could have the tailgating experience without the work being put in,
Speaker 2: Like you don't have to bring your grill or pay
Speaker 2: for a parking spot that's close to the stadium, Like
Speaker 2: the alley's right across the way, and it's awesome. The
Speaker 2: vibes are always great, and you can get like premium
Speaker 2: access to the alley, like to certain spots that like
Speaker 2: I think is like you got to either pay admission
Speaker 2: or have a ticket or something like that. And I've
Speaker 2: not done that before. But if you're somebody that just
Speaker 2: wants to get there at three point thirty, well, you know,
Speaker 2: good luck any on any Saturday. But if you had
Speaker 2: to add an hour and a half or two hours maybe,
Speaker 2: which does seem like a long time, but like if
Speaker 2: that had to be added to the overall experience because
Speaker 2: of potential traffic issues, I think if you went to
Speaker 2: the alley and you got a chance to experience with
Speaker 2: that is I think I think you and look, you
Speaker 2: can just walk around like. That's one of the things
Speaker 2: I learned doing vibe checks is I saw an experienced
Speaker 2: tailgating that I'd never even knew existed, Right Like you,
Speaker 2: I used to just park, you know where my parking
Speaker 2: passes and make my way in through the tunnel then
Speaker 2: you come overpass, and I mean, I knew of certain areas,
Speaker 2: but like there's all I mean, there's there's tailgating going
Speaker 2: on in places that's not on like the actual stadium property.
Speaker 3: That is awesome.
Speaker 2: And you know, so I mean not that you just
Speaker 2: want to walk around in the heat for two hours
Speaker 2: before you go into the game to avoid traffic, but
Speaker 2: I think there's ways you could do it and have
Speaker 2: a lot of fun. And again, I think the alley
Speaker 2: is perfect because I know there's a lot of fans
Speaker 2: that would love to tailgate. But you know, if you
Speaker 2: don't know anybody that has a set up, and you
Speaker 2: don't have a spot yourself, and you've never done it,
Speaker 2: like it's not something you mean. Tailgating to me is
Speaker 2: a culture thing. I feel like a lot of people
Speaker 2: who are really into tailgating and they they're there every day,
Speaker 2: every game, rain or shine. They've got their setup they've
Speaker 2: probably been doing it for many, many years, and it's
Speaker 2: probably something they've been doing with family. Their dad did it.
Speaker 2: They took over the tailgate, and that's awesome, that's a
Speaker 2: beautiful thing. But there's a lot of people that don't

Speaker 2: Keep it rolling along and get back into this nil conversation.
Speaker 2: As Tennessee becomes the first school to let their season
Speaker 2: ticket holders know there's going to be a tax added
Speaker 2: to your season ticket so we can pay players. And
Speaker 2: understandably so a lot of fans have strong thoughts on that.

Speaker 2: open your account today at LNFCU dot com. All right,
Speaker 2: So I mentioned earlier about doing vibe checks and how
Speaker 2: that was a good chance for me to get out
Speaker 2: and really see all the different tailgating spots that I
Speaker 2: didn't even know existed when it comes to to to
Speaker 2: louisll football games. And then somebody asked like, Hey, what
Speaker 2: happened in the vio Well, nothing happened. Just I it's
Speaker 2: not you know what do you want me to say?
Speaker 2: I would have missed my son's football games if I
Speaker 2: did a vibe check for the last two Louisville home games.
Speaker 2: And I didn't want to do that, and I don't
Speaker 2: regret that.
Speaker 5: So, you know, if we can make it happen, and
Speaker 5: you're wanting to bring back the vibe checks, I think
Speaker 5: we should start with Louder than Life next week.
Speaker 3: If we can make it happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna what I what I what
Speaker 2: I got to figure out is what the identity of
Speaker 2: the vibe check is? John, You know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 2: I never expected those to get the reaction that they did,
Speaker 2: because if you know me, and I don't want to act
Speaker 2: like I'm not who I am here on this show.
Speaker 2: In real life, I think I think I am. I
Speaker 2: think I'm a little more maybe turned up here that
Speaker 2: makes sense, not Louder, but just you know, maybe a
Speaker 2: little a little more animated. But you know that's that's
Speaker 2: not even on the air, Like that's not my comfort
Speaker 2: zone to walk up to strangers and try to be funny.
Speaker 2: I mean, I hate to even say that, because I
Speaker 2: don't think I'm a f any person, But like the
Speaker 2: goal in making those is to is to you know,
Speaker 2: be entertaining in any way, And more often than not,
Speaker 2: the entertainment from the vibe check comes from the encounters
Speaker 2: I have with people, and they do a lot of
Speaker 2: that as well. At the Louder than Life vibcheck last year,
Speaker 2: I had nothing new with me at all. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's just and we could have done hours of footage
Speaker 2: there and made you know, an eighteen minute video. So
Speaker 2: when I say I got to figure out like the
Speaker 2: identity of it, like I don't really I I don't
Speaker 2: want to make it to where like, hey, every single
Speaker 2: chance I get for a Louisville basketball event or a
Speaker 2: football event or an event like Louder than Life or
Speaker 2: the State Fair, I right now it's just kind of, Hey,
Speaker 2: if I can make one happen, I'm going to and
Speaker 2: I'm going to try my best to continue to make
Speaker 2: them worthwhile for people to watch and that's that's kind
Speaker 2: of where we are. But yes, so far this year
Speaker 2: there hasn't been one. And I struggled at times when
Speaker 2: I would, when I would try to do something just
Speaker 2: because like for example, basketball was just a no go.
Speaker 3: It just was there was there was no way to
Speaker 3: do one. Last year, was it? Did you go with
Speaker 3: me last year?
Speaker 5: I did for a few of them, Yes, But do
Speaker 5: you remember no for basketball? Yeah, for basketball. So for
Speaker 5: whenever I first started working with you, and it was
Speaker 5: the first time of Kenny Payne, you did.
Speaker 2: A few you didn't, yes, because nobody because nobody knew
Speaker 2: how awful it was going to be. But the ones
Speaker 2: you tried, like last year, I went to two louisll
Speaker 2: basketball games. I thought you were with me on the
Speaker 2: line a bit, and I never put anything together because,
Speaker 2: like it was, there was no way to make that
Speaker 2: entertaining at all. It would just be sad. And I've
Speaker 2: gotta I gotta be careful. I don't like I like
Speaker 2: to laugh, to not cry at times about things in life.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't. I don't. I'm not.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't do that to to louisvill basketball because as
Speaker 2: much as I care like it's not.
Speaker 3: It's not.
Speaker 2: It doesn't impact my livelihood in that way. But my
Speaker 2: point is this, I don't want to piss people off
Speaker 2: who think I'm literally making fun of Louisville basketball to
Speaker 2: be mean, you know what I mean. So like that
Speaker 2: was really the only way that would have worked out
Speaker 2: last year was to just completely lean in and go
Speaker 2: and make fun of how bad the team was. And
Speaker 2: that's not fun for anybody, and that's really sad overall.
Speaker 2: Like the first year it was new, and we didn't
Speaker 2: do many vibe checks after like the first five six
Speaker 2: home games because it was the same thing. We did
Speaker 2: one on the last game, one of the last games.
Speaker 2: It was like Virginia Tech. So I bet people ask
Speaker 2: me about, like why I don't do it anymore, And
Speaker 2: it's not that I don't do it anymore, it's just
Speaker 2: I haven't done one in a while because there really
Speaker 2: hasn't been an opportunity to do one. And I went
Speaker 2: to games last year for football at least one, and
Speaker 2: it was just like, actually, know, there were two where
Speaker 2: it was hard, like it was hard for me to
Speaker 2: put something together that I thought would match or even
Speaker 2: be close to what we've done in the ones that
Speaker 2: do really well as far as viewership and feedback, if
Speaker 2: that makes any sense at all.
Speaker 3: So, like, I don't want to put out half assed anything.
Speaker 2: So I've done vibe checks places and never released it
Speaker 2: because I thought it's stunk and it's not that like
Speaker 2: it would be an embarrassment and people would say, man,
Speaker 2: this was terrible. But we got off to a good
Speaker 2: start with them. I feel like because one it, I mean,
Speaker 2: there's nobody else that I know of doing that kind
Speaker 2: of content in this space of you know, U of
Speaker 2: l athletics, and you know, I just I gave it
Speaker 2: a shot. I tried to see if it would work,
Speaker 2: and you know, I mean it also helped me as
Speaker 2: far as visibility, not that that's like a you know,
Speaker 2: a great thing, because I'm not. I'm not great to
Speaker 2: look at, but I work in a you know, my
Speaker 2: livelihood is this radio show and this this company I
Speaker 2: work for. But it's all I mean, it's it's all audio.
Speaker 2: It's not visual. But I feel like there's it's not
Speaker 2: a coincidence that in the last year and a half
Speaker 2: two years, I've had way more people at least recognize me,
Speaker 2: and it's because they've seen me other than just hear
Speaker 2: me because they watched they what I mean, I had
Speaker 2: some of those videos that did like sixty thousand views,
Speaker 2: which maybe that doesn't sound impressive to people, and maybe
Speaker 2: it's not impressive, but for me, I mean, that's a
Speaker 2: big deal for me.
Speaker 3: Again, that's not to brag, trust me.
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's people doing bigger numbers in a variety
Speaker 2: of things, but like for me, that was like that
Speaker 2: was you know, that was that was that was a
Speaker 2: sign that, hey, I've got something here. But I'm also
Speaker 2: not going to sacrifice time with my family, you know,
Speaker 2: and I don't. It's not like it It's not like
Speaker 2: I'm stressing out, like, oh man, here I am watching
Speaker 2: my son plays first football game, but I should be
Speaker 2: asking drunk people tailgating what the think's going to happen? Like,
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's it's it's not something I'm battling with.
Speaker 2: It's just, you know, I hope to do many of
Speaker 2: them in the next year, and I hope they're up
Speaker 2: to the standard that we've set with them. But when
Speaker 2: I say I don't know what the identity is, like,
Speaker 2: I don't. It's not a series that you can just
Speaker 2: expect there to be a vibe check video.
Speaker 3: Every single week.
Speaker 2: Is it's going to depend upon like what I'm able
Speaker 2: to do, and I can't do it by myself. I
Speaker 2: have to have somebody, you know, that's available to run
Speaker 2: the camera, that really knows, you know, what this is.
Speaker 2: And I've had two people, John's one of them that
Speaker 2: have been perfect for it because they get it, they
Speaker 2: know what I'm doing and they're usually available when I
Speaker 2: need And there hasn't been one that I haven't been
Speaker 2: able to do because I couldn't get somebody. But I
Speaker 2: just you know, it's not like it's it's just not
Speaker 2: as easy cause again you see a two and a
Speaker 2: half minute clip, maybe sometimes it's less than that, and
Speaker 2: really at times that could take two and a half
Speaker 2: three hours of time, which isn't like you know, manual
Speaker 2: labor where I'm out there working my tail off.
Speaker 5: But like most of the clips that you have with people,
Speaker 5: like they see a couple seconds of it, you usually.
Speaker 3: Talk to for usually a minute or two.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: And I also try my best not to deceive people
Speaker 2: to where I will let them know as best I
Speaker 2: can sort of like what I'm doing, and I kind
Speaker 2: of stopped towards the end, and nobody's given me any
Speaker 2: grief about it just yet, and hopefully hopefully they don't.
Speaker 2: But you know, I've interviewed people for two three minutes
Speaker 2: and I'm like, all right, you said some thoughtful stuff
Speaker 2: and talk sports, but like, I'm only going to use
Speaker 2: the I'm only going to use the clip whenever I
Speaker 2: called you out for wearing a shirt that said, you know,
Speaker 2: I'd rather be at Wrigley, And I'm like, hey, why
Speaker 2: would you say that? You're here at the Kentucky State Fair?
Speaker 2: What's wrong with the State Fair? You'd rather be at Wriggly, Like,
Speaker 2: what's the issue?
Speaker 3: Like that was.
Speaker 2: Probably a three minute conversation, but there was seven minutes
Speaker 2: of footage shown, And by using that, I don't feel
Speaker 2: like I'm miss leading people. But I don't know, like
Speaker 2: I've never had anybody tell me you better not use that,
Speaker 2: or you know, I better get you know, the full conversation,
Speaker 2: better be there because some of the stuff is, you know,
Speaker 2: kind of out of context. I like the dude you
Speaker 2: met the head gout along with oh yeah a lot
Speaker 2: than life guard. You had a different, different accent, Oh
Speaker 2: you saw the pop whenever he and I both realized
Speaker 2: we're gout brothers.
Speaker 5: He was from he was from England. Do you remember
Speaker 5: I remember him having either that or Australian accent something.
Speaker 2: It's like which walk you walk with the limp man,
Speaker 2: you know, okay? And he was like, yeah, it's okay,
Speaker 2: a little bit of authoritis. And I'm like, oh, hey,
Speaker 2: I've been there, man, I got gout. He goes, that's
Speaker 2: what it is, it's gout and I'm like, we're out brothers. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And I hope I eased his pain that he was
Speaker 2: going through with gout there. But I actually watched somebody
Speaker 2: sent me the Louder than Life vibe check over the
Speaker 2: weekend asking if i'd be back, and I don't know
Speaker 2: if I am or not. I'll just be honest with you.
Speaker 2: That just specifically depends on if I Heeart's going to
Speaker 2: give me a pass and they don't. They're not required to,
Speaker 2: they don't need to. If there's one available, I would
Speaker 2: take it and use it. Same thing with John, like
Speaker 2: they don't owe me tickets or anything like that, and
Speaker 2: I'm not certainly gonna buy them because I don't have
Speaker 2: any interest in going to any of the actual you know,
Speaker 2: the show part of it, it would really just be for content.
Speaker 2: But I watched it for the first time all the
Speaker 2: way through, for the first time in a long time.
Speaker 2: And I don't know if we'll ever top that one.
Speaker 3: It'll be tough. Yeah, I mean, and the butthole guy,
Speaker 3: which we do talk a lot of butthole stuff here. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean the girl who just had just something covering
Speaker 3: her nipples, yep, and she talked about the things going
Speaker 3: on in the campground. Oh my god. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But also, and I mean this sincerely, the nicest people
Speaker 2: I've ever collectively interviewed at an event, a game, whatever.
Speaker 2: Were those people. They were so welcoming, they were nice.
Speaker 2: They were I mean, it was not a single person
Speaker 2: was red. Yeah, they were very very I mean I
Speaker 2: asked a guy what stage Creed was on. Creed wasn't there, obviously,
Speaker 2: and he pulled out his phone trying to help me out.
Speaker 2: He wanted to help me find where Creed was even
Speaker 2: though they weren't there, like, you know, and I felt
Speaker 2: bad about that one, because, you know, he's just a
Speaker 2: guy trying to be an eye. I mean, he's trying
Speaker 2: to be a nice guy and he he Yeah, So anyway,
Speaker 2: shout out to h to Louder than Life. It was
Speaker 2: a great event. And to answer your question, we'll do
Speaker 2: some uh and you know, hopefully they're good. And I'd
Speaker 2: be lying to you if I said I was going
Speaker 2: to be doing one for the game Saturday, because it's
Speaker 2: just I mean, I have my family with me, and
Speaker 2: my wife would never give me any grief about anything
Speaker 2: when it comes to that kind of stuff because she's
Speaker 2: so supportive of me and always has been. But like
Speaker 2: I just i'd have a hard time being at a
Speaker 2: game with my kids as their tailgating and I'm like, hey,
Speaker 2: I'll be back in an hour and a half.
Speaker 3: I got to go.
Speaker 2: You know, it'd be different again. And this is something
Speaker 2: I probably should have led with. I don't get paid
Speaker 2: to do that, Like there's chances to monetize. I've had
Speaker 2: some brands that were very much interested in like figuring
Speaker 2: out how they could help, and it just hadn't It
Speaker 2: hadn't worked out just yet. I mean, I'm hopeful that
Speaker 2: eventually that does work out. That's when I really realized
Speaker 2: I might have something cool here. Is that like it
Speaker 2: was doing pretty good numb on the internet and people
Speaker 2: found it to be funny to where they're like, do
Speaker 2: you have any sponsors? Like, Hey, we're having this festival,
Speaker 2: would you want to come? And I'm to the point
Speaker 2: now where I don't need to do it for content.
Speaker 2: I can find stuff to do, but I also want
Speaker 2: to make it worth my while. So I've never made
Speaker 2: a dime off doing those and they're fun. I'll continue
Speaker 2: to do them whenever I can. And it's you know,
Speaker 2: it's convenient. It's like I'm asking people to pay up
Speaker 2: or anything like that. But that's another factor, is like
Speaker 2: when I tell you I'm not going to like leave
Speaker 2: my family to go do it while we're tailgating for
Speaker 2: the Louisville game, It's not like I'm not going to
Speaker 2: go do my job. But as like Ihard has nothing
Speaker 2: to do with that. I used to be worried that
Speaker 2: they would be bothered by me doing that, just because
Speaker 2: you know, there's been some.
Speaker 3: Pretty i mean, the lot of them.
Speaker 2: Life one speaks for itself as far as what was
Speaker 2: witnessed there, but they they actually, you know, my bosses
Speaker 2: have been supportive of that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: So all right, let's get to a quick break.
Speaker 2: We'll come back on the other side and we won't
Speaker 2: have much time, but I will let you hear Arkansas
Speaker 2: athletic director encourage his fans to pony up in a
Speaker 2: much more politically correct way than Mark Stoops did. But
Speaker 2: like I think, fans, man, I know there's this expectation
Speaker 2: at all. They're not going to do that. Fans are
Speaker 2: already paying enough. I think these athletic directors know you'll
Speaker 2: pay whatever you can because you love the Hogs that much,
Speaker 2: you love the cards that much, the balls, the cats.
Speaker 2: All right, quick break, don't go anwhere, keep a locked
Speaker 2: right here on Sports Talk seven ninety So. I'm sure
Speaker 2: Tennessee will not be the only school that will add
Speaker 2: some type of attacks to season tickets that will go
Speaker 2: towards the bill they're going to have that they've never
Speaker 2: had before, which is twenty two million that major schools.
Speaker 3: Will be allowed.
Speaker 2: I hate that word because it's so misleading to the
Speaker 2: whole situation. If you want to continue to compete at
Speaker 2: a high level, you're not just allowed. You need to
Speaker 2: pay top dollar among all of your student athletes or
Speaker 2: you'll get left behind. So they're calling it a talent fee,
Speaker 2: I think, or a let's see what got it that's
Speaker 2: what it's called talent fee. And you know they won't
Speaker 2: be alone. And I'm not even sure if their fans
Speaker 2: are upset. I mean would assume if you've got the
Speaker 2: means to pay for season tickets, and everybody's financial situation
Speaker 2: is certainly different, nobody wants to be paying more. But
Speaker 2: I just some of the belief that fans will pay
Speaker 2: for this, like they will support their university and not
Speaker 2: really question if they need their support. And what I
Speaker 2: mean by that is they're asking you for your support,
Speaker 2: so therefore that insinuates they need it. But there'll be
Speaker 2: some people that'll say, yeah.
Speaker 3: I'm not doing that.
Speaker 2: I give you enough money as it is now, thanks,
Speaker 2: and some people who just turned off by all the
Speaker 2: money they've invested in being season ticket holders and everything
Speaker 2: that comes with it, right, and some of it doesn't
Speaker 2: go Like if you're traveling and paying a lot of
Speaker 2: money to go to a game or a bowl game
Speaker 2: or a tournament, like you realize a lot of that
Speaker 2: didn't go to the school. That's just you paying to
Speaker 2: get there. But it's still support that I'm sure the
Speaker 2: school appreciates, but it's not money that goes directly to them.
Speaker 2: So yesterday at the I think Little Rock Touchdown Club,
Speaker 2: I think is what it's called. The athletic director Hunter Iyraicek,
Speaker 2: who's the ideat art K and Saul he was I'll
Speaker 2: just let you hear it. I was gonna say he
Speaker 2: was pleading for Arkansas fans to step up. But again,
Speaker 2: I'll let you hear for yourself, and you decide what
Speaker 2: he's doing here.
Speaker 6: By loves it. Old Missus in the top five right, No,
Speaker 6: we hate it.
Speaker 4: We hate it.
Speaker 6: Old miss is about five thousand members in their football collective,
Speaker 6: five thousand.
Speaker 4: We have about a thousand in our football collective. Right now.
Speaker 4: They have five thousand members, we have a thousand.
Speaker 6: If we're gonna catch up like it's I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 6: gonna make it so easy for you. If we could
Speaker 6: get ten thousand households across the state of Arkansas to
Speaker 6: give one hundred dollars a month, ten thousand households to
Speaker 6: give one hundred dollars a month all year long, we
Speaker 6: would be in the nil game from a football perspective.
Speaker 4: It's that simple. But we can't. We can't say.
Speaker 6: The Tysons, the Waltons, the Stevens, the hunts Hey, they'll
Speaker 6: take care of it, because they're not.
Speaker 4: They're not.
Speaker 6: They are so incredibly generous and they have done so
Speaker 6: much for our program. But if we're really going to
Speaker 6: get a handle on this nil remain competitive, we need
Speaker 6: to rally people across the state, and we really got
Speaker 6: to take some pride in the Razorbacks.
Speaker 2: So listening to that, listening to that for the third
Speaker 2: time in the last couple of days, or really in
Speaker 2: the last day, I feel even different now, like that
Speaker 2: that is like it's almost kind of very delicately kind
Speaker 2: of shaming. If you want to show some pride in
Speaker 2: the Razorbacks, then this is what we need you to
Speaker 2: do to pay one hundred dollars a month, which was
Speaker 2: a month. You know, it's it's it gets all relative
Speaker 2: as far as what that amount of money truly is
Speaker 2: to to each individual. But Reddit college Football, the Reddit
Speaker 2: college Football twitter account says that Hunter Yerochek's career earnings
Speaker 2: are eight point seven million, and the average median house
Speaker 2: of income is fifty four grand, and seventy percent of
Speaker 2: the state lives in poverty, which is the seventh highest.
Speaker 2: I mean, like it, it just doesn't look good. And
Speaker 2: if you talk about all the money you got from
Speaker 2: the Waltons, which is Walmart and the Chicken guy Tyson.
Speaker 2: I mean, like, if they're paying all the money for
Speaker 2: you to go get John Calipari, right, what's the money
Speaker 2: you're getting from the billions that is shared among sec
Speaker 2: for TV contracts? Like, it's just I don't know.
