WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:10.640 It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on 2 00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:25.079 Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee. 3 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.280 I just checked during the break there to see if 4 00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:32.240 if I'm still locked out suspended from FanDuel. 5 00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:36.200 Oh yeah, and I am still are I got lifted today. 6 00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:38.200 They lifted me today. 7 00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:40.640 Did they give you any kind of a notice or 8 00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:41.880 did you just log in and it worked? 9 00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:43.640 They gave me. Yeah, they gave they sent me a 10 00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:44.880 notice and said. 11 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:45.479 Like an email. 12 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.560 I guess it was a very long email saying something 13 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.359 like there was a suspicious activity on my account. Make 14 00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:54.679 sure no one is logging into your account or using 15 00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:59.560 your account. Make sure every make sure that every deposit 16 00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:03.240 is coming is going into this has the same name 17 00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.359 as the account that you're depositing from, into the account 18 00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:11.159 that you're depositing to, which, however, I did. I feel 19 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:13.319 like I have a reason to believe why. I think 20 00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:15.519 that that may have happened. A couple months ago. I 21 00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:20.680 got a friend to sign up, and you know, I 22 00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:23.280 kind of cheated the system, if you may, by getting 23 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:25.000 them to sign up, and I use their bonus bets, 24 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.040 and I just said, hey, let me log into your 25 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:28.159 account and let me. 26 00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.000 Do it, So that's why they flagged you, right. 27 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:32.519 I think what happened was is and I don't even 28 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:34.319 know why they let me do it anyway. Is once again, 29 00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:36.799 it sounds like a them problem. I thought at this point, 30 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.519 because I ran out of his bonus money. I thought 31 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:43.120 that I was logged into my account and I had 32 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:46.480 put in like ten dollars or something like that. And 33 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.400 then once again I wasn't even looking at the account. 34 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.359 And then my buddy text me about ten minutes later saying, hey, 35 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:54.760 I thought everything was done. It's just saying it just 36 00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.239 made a deposit into my account, and I'm like, that 37 00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:58.120 sounds weird. 38 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:00.560 So in a weird way they were. 39 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:03.640 They allowed me to deposit something from my bank account 40 00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:06.480 into his. I mean, it's still worked, I still got 41 00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:09.159 the bed on it. But after that, I guess that's. 42 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.479 Like, but that at least makes sense as to why 43 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:13.479 they would, why they would flag it and at least 44 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:15.680 want to look at it. Yes, I still don't understand 45 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.840 why being in Tennessee and then leaving Tennessee and going 46 00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:22.319 to Kentucky and logging in that automatically. 47 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.039 It's the most simple thing ever. There shouldn't even be 48 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:28.800 a discrepancy in that. Yeah, I mean, you're just traveling. 49 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:30.439 And here's the thing. 50 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.080 I believe that they agree and know that, but they're 51 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.000 just they again that My whole complaint is that they 52 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:45.319 don't have the resources to efficiently run this operation for customers. 53 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:49.599 But yet you know they'll they'll have I don't. 54 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:51.240 I mean, I'm sure there are many people in the 55 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:52.960 same situation that I'm in. What I'm trying to say 56 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.680 is like they would there would never be a scenario 57 00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:57.280 where I'm trying to give them money and they won't 58 00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.479 let me right like there. But whenever I have money 59 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.719 in there, you know they're gonna take their sweet ass 60 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:05.120 time to figure out what's going on. And it's it's 61 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:07.759 I know I'm selling such a boomer here, but it's 62 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.919 it's the bots they get me because oh yeah, you 63 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:15.599 can't even say I can't even explain what I what 64 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.000 I need them to do. It's really just to look 65 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.280 at what I submitted, and it just keeps going through 66 00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:22.800 this cycle of them kind of asking and I'm sure 67 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:24.479 this is just how it's like because they need to 68 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.439 buy as much time as possible because they don't have 69 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:29.080 the resources to quickly look over this stuff and get 70 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.400 people back in business to where they can bet. So 71 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.479 it's just set up to where they'll ask you kind 72 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.599 of the same stuff over like three different emails that 73 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:41.400 span an entire week, and it just drives me insane. 74 00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.719 And somebody yesterday mentioned, well you should, you should just 75 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:46.439 sign up for a new account. You can't do that 76 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:48.319 because you got to enter your social the last four 77 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.840 of your social and all that stuff. So you know, 78 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.240 I'm still betting. I mean, I'm using DraftKings, which is fine, 79 00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.240 but you know, a big part for me because I'm 80 00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.159 not doing this to make a living. I'm not doing this, 81 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:01.280 you know, for anything other than just to have fun. 82 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:03.280 But it is always nice to you know, win money. 83 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:07.439 So looking at like what I'm working with when it 84 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:09.680 comes to like the account, it's not like I'm looking 85 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:11.719 at some crazy amount of money, but like that is 86 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:13.680 a big factor and sort of you know the ride, right, 87 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.120 you know what I'm deciding to do, how much money 88 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.439 I'm going to bet on this and that? And I'll 89 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:20.759 look at what's there and then all, okay, not a. 90 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:21.240 Good week, Nick. 91 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:23.519 Maybe we toned it back a little bit, smaller unit 92 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:25.920 sized or maybe less wagers whatever it may be. And 93 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:27.879 because I can't even act says, you know the account 94 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:32.639 that's been active and I've been using for forever. You know, 95 00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.199 it just it's gotta be frustrated. And I don't My 96 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.560 stepdad went through the same thing, but he went through 97 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:42.240 it with DraftKings, and I mean, I'm now going through 98 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.439 what he was telling me about for a law. I 99 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:46.639 mean I'm talking like he didn't get I don't even 100 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:48.800 I think he got back in finally, but I think 101 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.160 it was like five months. She like what now, his 102 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.560 his was a little bit different because his venmo got hacked, 103 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:56.720 like look like not just but in his venmo was 104 00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.319 and his venmo was attached to DraftKings, so they did 105 00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:00.759 see like the weird stuff going on. 106 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:02.240 But it was the same thing that he would like. 107 00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.759 It's it's they're all the same as far as I think, 108 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.319 dealing with this and trying to, I guess get people 109 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:10.879 back in business as quickly as possible. But like the 110 00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:13.839 process just isn't great because he kept having to send in, 111 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.000 you know, pictures of his again, like I had to 112 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:18.759 take a picture of myself. 113 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:19.279 Holding the date. 114 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.240 Yeah, that's you know, crazy, And. 115 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.120 That was Sunday and now it's Thursday and I'm still 116 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:25.920 locked out, and it just makes me very upset. But 117 00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:27.680 whenever they notified you that you're good, was it a 118 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:28.439 text or an email? 119 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.240 What it was an email? That it wasn't I had 120 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:31.600 to find it in my junk folder. 121 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:32.959 Okay, maybe I need to look at that. 122 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:33.920 Yeah, go do that. 123 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:35.759 I need to check that because I need I check 124 00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:37.920 your junk. I need back, I need back in business. 125 00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.120 I'll check my junk. Don't want you worry about that, 126 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:42.319 young man. All right, it's coffee and Company. We are 127 00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:45.120 feel But Thorton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Thanks 128 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.240 for hanging out with us, taking you up until six 129 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.360 o'clock today. The news yesterday, I think it broke like 130 00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:52.199 right after the show, or maybe it did towards the 131 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:53.399 end of the show and I just missed it. But 132 00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.279 Pierce Clarkson, uh, probably one of the higher ranked quarterbacks 133 00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:58.839 to ever commit to Louisville, did in fact decide to 134 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.000 into the transfer portal. I don't think it's a surprise 135 00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:03.759 by any means. I wish the kid nothing but the best, 136 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:05.959 and I don't think anybody did anything wrong. I don't 137 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:08.759 really have any energy one way or the other. I'm 138 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:13.399 not at all like oh bummed, Like man, pe Look, 139 00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:15.399 if you are somebody that's upset that he's leaving because 140 00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:19.000 you like him, that that's normal. But I mean, who 141 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:21.759 you upset at him? Well you should be upset him. 142 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:23.439 He upset at Jeff brom What could he have done 143 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.160 to change this? Like, I mean, I just truly think 144 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.879 this is a this is a good example of this 145 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:32.319 new world. I mean, you know, just just two of 146 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:34.079 the things that came in on the text line yesterday 147 00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:36.560 from from you know those that because some people still 148 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.160 text the text line even more not on the air, 149 00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:40.160 uh And occasionally I'll. 150 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.639 Go back and forth with him. But one person mentioned how. 151 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.079 Best of luck kid never got a fair shot, and 152 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:50.480 then somebody said something along the lines of I really 153 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:54.720 hope Jeff knows what he's doing here, and I don't, like, 154 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:56.480 I don't even know how to respond to that, because 155 00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:59.399 the kid never got a fair shot, Like what would 156 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:00.959 be like what you mean like he's not I mean, 157 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:06.759 I just think this is a product of what you 158 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.199 can now do as a college football coach. And again, 159 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:11.439 I know I sound like a broken record, but if 160 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:15.639 you don't have to name a starting quarterback and rely 161 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.199 on a guy that you've never seen play as a 162 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.720 starter before, has very very you know, very little to 163 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:25.759 no experience, not because they're not good, not because you 164 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.240 know anybody's fault. It's just like it's a new world now. 165 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:34.639 So what was unfair about Pierce's situation? I mean, he 166 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:36.839 got here last year and one thing that I should 167 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.560 mention that I think it's pretty obvious, but he doesn't 168 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.519 fit with what Jeff wants to do. Like it could work, 169 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:47.120 but like when you think of Jeff Brohm's offense really excelling, 170 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:49.959 you think of a certain kind of quarterback and it's 171 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.000 more of a guy that is that is a pocket 172 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.920 guy that has a little bit more size to him. 173 00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.839 And who knows, maybe Pierce ends up lighting it up 174 00:07:57.879 --> 00:07:59.879 and he's a phenomenal quarterback. 175 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:06.319 At wherever he ends up. But if he does, it 176 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:07.480 won't be anybody's fault. 177 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:12.720 It won't because right now, if he decided nope, not 178 00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:13.920 going to go to the portal, going to hand the 179 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.079 reins to Pierce Clarkson, fans would would say, okay, well 180 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:17.600 let's you know, what are you gonna do? You're gonna 181 00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:20.120 support it, But like you would know that it's just 182 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.759 a risk and it may pay off, but it's a 183 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:24.319 risk that you don't have to take whenever you can 184 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.839 go to the portal and grab a guy who you 185 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:30.839 know is as good as Miller Moss. So it's not 186 00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:32.480 about what's fair and what's not. I mean, like, what 187 00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:34.200 do you would what would like? Did you want him 188 00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:36.159 to not play Tyler Shuck this year? Tyler Shuck's one 189 00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:37.399 of the best quarterbacks you've had around here in a 190 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:40.360 long time. I think it's easy to I think it's 191 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:42.639 it's very obvious. He's the best quarterback we've had since 192 00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:46.039 since Lamar. I mean, he was really good. But did 193 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:46.679 you want him to play? 194 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:47.080 Both guys? 195 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.039 Like it makes no sense? And last year is a 196 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.480 true freshman, did you want him to play? I mean, 197 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:57.440 I know Plumber wasn't great, but like last year is 198 00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:00.720 pretty telling. If if Jeff Brown thought that that that 199 00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.799 Pierce was capable of as a true freshman, if he 200 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.840 was capable of doing what Jeff needs his quarterback to do, 201 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.639 lead his offense and all that comes with it. You 202 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:12.840 think if he thought he was ready for that responsibility 203 00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:13.960 and it would make the team better, he would have 204 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:17.480 played him and most coaches wouldn't have because regardless if 205 00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:19.720 you got Jack Plumber or not, because true freshman starting 206 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.320 at power schools is just going to be really really 207 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.240 really rare moving forward. So it's not that, you know, 208 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:29.159 it's not that anybody did anything unfair. And also if 209 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:31.480 there's anything unfair, it's just life that like things changed 210 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:34.279 when he was recruited out of high school. The portal 211 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:38.000 didn't exist the way that it does now. NIL wasn't 212 00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:42.080 what it is now. And for those who say, I 213 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:45.080 hope Jeff knows what he's doing, like me too, But 214 00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:49.279 like if you're insinuating that, you're questioning and he's really 215 00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:52.080 going to have to, I mean, what risk is he 216 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.279 taking here? Like the bigger when you say he knows 217 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:56.240 what he's doing, You're like, wow, that's a risky decision. 218 00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.399 I hope he knows what he's what he's getting into. 219 00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:02.799 H I think that reaction would be very much warranted 220 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:04.519 if he decided not to go get a quarterback and 221 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.120 he just decided to trust a guy who's played twenty 222 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:09.840 snaps in two years or something like that. So I mean, 223 00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:14.559 I'm not even really trying to just go like defending 224 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:21.639 Jeff Brohm relentlessly here. But people unhappy and like upset 225 00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:26.519 about this. Your energy or your I guess your emotion 226 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:30.840 is coming from the fact that things are just different, 227 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:37.039 turning that energy into anger and blaming anybody for the situation. Like, 228 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:38.720 I don't know where you would direct that anger, because 229 00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:41.320 maybe towards NS DOUBA because they didn't have any regulation 230 00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:45.120 in place. They tried to shove this archaic amateurism model 231 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.279 for hundreds of years, seemingly, and now because of that, 232 00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:52.960 they're really really in a bad way because they can't 233 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.759 enforce anything. You take the instab to court and guys 234 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:59.039 can they seem to win every time. So you know, 235 00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:02.039 I'm not happy he's leaving, but I kind of expected it, 236 00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:06.000 and I don't think anybody did anything wrong. Sticking with 237 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:10.000 Looival football, some good news here we've got I have not. 238 00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:13.039 I don't really know where this came from, but I 239 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.480 did see well it's probably one of those message board things, 240 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:17.639 and if I knew where it was coming from, I 241 00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:19.759 would give them credit, because trust me, this is something 242 00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:21.600 I was aware of. But I'm happy to hear it. 243 00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:23.639 That's that Colin Lacey is going to play in the 244 00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.360 Bowl game. Which is great because you know, he was 245 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:28.159 he was healthy enough to play when he decided to 246 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.840 opt out. But obviously he opted out because he wanted 247 00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:32.559 to maintain another year. And in the end, that was 248 00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:36.399 a good decision. Like it was probably still something certain 249 00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:40.480 fans don't like, but like it gave him a chance 250 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:42.960 to play another season, and now you have him for 251 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.440 another year. You were able to still win without him, 252 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:47.639 at least enough. You went eight and four and he 253 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:49.000 would have helped you. But like, I'm not sure you 254 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:51.559 lost any of these games because you didn't have him. So, like, 255 00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.080 that was a decision that you know, was unpopular in 256 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:55.840 the eyes of a lot of people, including Jeff Brohm, 257 00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.720 but it worked out. He's now back for another season 258 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:00.960 and you don't have such a need to go to 259 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:02.919 the portal and find playmakers on offense. You still need 260 00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:04.840 to go get guys in there doing that. But he's 261 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:07.000 I mean, he may be your best offensive player next year. 262 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:09.399 I mean, kind of sounds crazy to say, given we've 263 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.320 got Isaac Brown coming back and Duke Watson and Miller 264 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:14.200 Moss is pretty special. I think Chris Bell is going 265 00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.080 to be really good next year. So you know, that 266 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:17.799 sounds like a stretch. But it wouldn't be a shocker 267 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:20.399 if he is, because when healthy at Louisville, he started 268 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:21.879 to really make some plays, and we know what he 269 00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:25.480 was doing before he got to Louisville and the boat. 270 00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.639 The postseason games don't count, so this won't count towards 271 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:33.399 his you know, red shirt situation, right like this won't 272 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:35.320 count towards a game that would make it to where 273 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:38.399 he wouldn't be able to actually still utilize that red shirt. 274 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:42.399 Now this is not pretending to football, but last night 275 00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:45.759 on the Pat Kelsey Coaches Show, he was asked, of course, 276 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:49.320 about Trey Ouray, and I get the sense that just 277 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:52.759 you know, and he didn't say this directly, but I 278 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.360 feel like he's going to play against North Carolina, which, hey, 279 00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:59.720 you know, you certainly need all the help you can 280 00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:03.200 get against anybody you're playing, given just how tough it's 281 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.519 been for this team with injuries. But I mean that's 282 00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:08.480 the next I mean, I know Carolina is six and 283 00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:11.480 five and they've been competitive against the good teams, but 284 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:13.159 they haven't beat any of them. They don't really have 285 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:15.320 any win. We talked about it yesterday. Carolina is a 286 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:17.120 team that I still think will end up being one 287 00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:18.559 of the best in the ACC. And I still think 288 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:21.000 they're going to make the tournament safely, But like, how 289 00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:23.039 do they get seated if they lose to all these 290 00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:25.440 really good teams and then they don't have any opportunities 291 00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:27.879 to get big wins when they get to ACC play. 292 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:32.600 So just hearing Pat talk about tray Ora, I mean, 293 00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:35.000 you guys know, I was as high on Treira as anybody. 294 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:36.879 Not that I thought he would be your leading scorer 295 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:38.720 or that he would be, you know, this all American 296 00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:41.879 kind of player, but man, he's you know, the one 297 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:44.240 thing that like he could you know that he doesn't 298 00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:46.960 really that you probably can't rely on. Is him just 299 00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:50.200 producing a lot of points for you. But you know, 300 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.399 if he can give you eight to nine a game 301 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:55.399 and he's helping you on the glass, he's playing really 302 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:58.200 good defense. One thing we didn't really get a chance 303 00:13:58.200 --> 00:13:59.840 to see a lot of because he only played two 304 00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:02.320 games before he got hurt. He's a really good passer. 305 00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:06.360 And look in the half court. This team, they they 306 00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:07.960 you know, they're starting to get comfortable. I think you 307 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:10.080 could tell against Kentucky they're starting to kind of find 308 00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:12.919 their rhythm. Each guy individually kind of figuring out where 309 00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:16.399 they fit in this new seven man rotation. But the 310 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:18.159 guy that can distribute make it a little easier for 311 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:19.559 you to get buckets out there because there's not a 312 00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:21.639 lot of creators. But I think he can do that 313 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:24.159 more so for others than himself. Just a really rare player. 314 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.919 So the center he's back to better. And again I 315 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:29.519 still think this Florida State game, by the way is 316 00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:32.440 is is big, not because you've got a whole lot 317 00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:34.320 to gain, but man, I think a loss here would 318 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:35.799 maybe it would be the end of the world. 319 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:38.279 Wouldn't mean you can't make the tournament, but it would. 320 00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:39.759 I think it would take away a lot of the 321 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:42.960 value that I believe they have they have with how 322 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:45.440 they've played against these good teams despite it being losses. 323 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:47.000 I stick around. It's Coffee and Company. 324 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:50.200 Weere Phil about Thorntons right here on Sports Talk seven ninety. 325 00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:54.879 Now back to Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on 326 00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:56.600 Sports Talk seven nine. 327 00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:02.919 Day good here on a Thursday afternoon Coffee and Company. 328 00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:06.279 Fielbey Thornton's on Sports Talk seven to ninety knit coffee 329 00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:10.159 and Austin Montgomery taking you up until six o'clock this afternoon. 330 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:13.919 Let's see here, where do we want to go? This 331 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:16.519 is something that that just it's distracting me, so I'll 332 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:17.679 just share it with you guys, and I do think 333 00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:20.320 it's interesting. So the depth chart has come out for 334 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:22.879 the bowl game for Louisville. So i'd mentioned the quarterback 335 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.840 situation with Louisville, I would assume I would have assumed 336 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:29.480 it was going to be Pierce Clarkson, but he is uh, 337 00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:31.279 and who knows, maybe he was told he wasn't going 338 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:34.200 to start the bowl game because they just feel like, 339 00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:35.759 you know, because Jef's gonna want to win. 340 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:37.080 And that's why. 341 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:39.679 As I see here, Harrison Bailey is listed starter with 342 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:42.879 Deuce Adams as your backup. So you know, I think 343 00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:45.440 it would make I'm looking at this as, hey, you know, 344 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:47.480 I don't really care if Louisville loses. Let's just see 345 00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:49.440 what we got. But that's not how Jeff's gonna approach it. 346 00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:51.759 And I get it. So he's probably hoping to get 347 00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:53.919 do some some reps. But you know, they're going to 348 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.360 try to go win this game because that's that's you know, 349 00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:57.919 that's that's how they're wired. 350 00:15:57.960 --> 00:15:58.679 That's what they should do. 351 00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:02.320 But I'm looking here at Deuce Adams on the depth 352 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:06.080 chart and I'm thinking, okay, backup, makes sense. He's the 353 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.200 only these are the only two scholarship quarterbacks you're gonna have. 354 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:08.720 For the bowl game. 355 00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:11.519 But they listed him at six six two twenty in 356 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.360 a red shirt sophomore. First of all, I'm thinking, wait 357 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:17.720 a second, he's, first of all, not a red shirt 358 00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:19.840 sophomore as a true freshman, and I'm thinking six six 359 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:20.399 to twenty. 360 00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:20.840 Damn. 361 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:24.519 But he's not six six two twenty. He's in fact 362 00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:29.000 much smaller than that. So I'm thinking that's kind of odd. 363 00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:31.679 That's gotta be like a it's gotta be like a typo, right, 364 00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:35.240 And sure enough, I end up looking here. This is 365 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:40.799 a Twitter account called Cardinal Companion, and uh yeah, car 366 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:43.320 cards Companion is the Twitter account a really good observation. 367 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:45.639 I'm giving them credit here because they posted the depth 368 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:49.840 chart and they mention that they have it. They have 369 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:54.679 it backwards, like, and I don't this cannot be some random, 370 00:16:54.759 --> 00:17:01.240 random coincidence. But they listed Deuce atoms year, red shirt sophomore, height, 371 00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:03.600 weight sixty six to twenty. It's a different deuce, but 372 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:06.200 a deuce that's like this to me, I can't make 373 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:09.039 any sense of it, but it's the exact height and 374 00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:12.400 weight of another deuce who is a teammate of Miller Mosses, 375 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:17.079 who is apparently considering Louisville among other schools. And his 376 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:21.240 name is Deuce Robinson and he is a I mean, 377 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:26.319 he's a really really talented player. He's a receiver, and 378 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:29.319 he's I mean that's those are like his exact measurements. 379 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:31.319 Now I don't know if he's a red shirt junior 380 00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:32.920 or not, but like, yeah, so maybe they got that 381 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:35.559 part of it wrong. But anyways, this gives me a 382 00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:37.119 chance to tell you that of all the guys that 383 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:39.000 are visiting, and there's plenty of them, it's tough for 384 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:40.519 me to even keep up with, but this would be 385 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:44.000 this would be a big time get because Robinson was 386 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:46.680 recruited by Louisville coming out of high school, ended up 387 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:50.640 picking USC. And he's also a baseball player too, from 388 00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:55.359 an I understand, So, I mean tough to know if 389 00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:57.720 Louisville's one of the leaders or just one of the 390 00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.480 many schools that's reached out. And that's what's kept me 391 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:02.319 from really like one. 392 00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:02.960 I don't know how. 393 00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:04.839 Entertaining it would be or interesting it would be for 394 00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:08.359 listeners of this radio show. The portal is certainly a 395 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:10.279 big deal, but like it's really tough to keep up with. 396 00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:11.680 And you see a guy. 397 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:14.279 Mention Louisville among ten schools, Like do you want to 398 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.200 spend time learning about a guy that, like in a week, 399 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:20.000 will never hear of again because he ended up elsewhere. 400 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:22.680 It's just so chaotic and it happened so quickly that 401 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:25.559
