WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:07.160 It's time for coffee and company. Fueled by Thornton's on 2 00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:09.039 Sports Talk seven nine day. 3 00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:11.240 Holy crap, I don't know who the hell we think 4 00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:13.519 when we are get off our show. 5 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:17.039 Idiots, the kids are crying or turn at the punctures are. 6 00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:17.640 Screwing it up. 7 00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:20.960 Gold Play Inner Murals, Brother, gold Play Inner Murals. 8 00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.079 They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not. 9 00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:27.960 Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here? Are you 10 00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:44.880 kidding me? Now? Here's Nick Coffee? 11 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:51.520 Whoever can take credit for coining the phrase hottest balls outside. 12 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.960 This was the kind of day where that that just happened. 13 00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:58.759 They probably didn't put a lot of thought into it. 14 00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:02.039 They just decided, man, it's hot. It's not as balls 15 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:04.760 out here, because it is. It's disgusting outside, but you 16 00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.280 know what, it's not keeping us away. I mean we're 17 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.239 not outside, we're indoors. In fact, the AC's working working great, 18 00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:14.359 and we were appreciative of our role here where we 19 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:18.879 get to do broadcast inside during these disgusting temperatures we 20 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.760 have going on. And if you're working outside, I'm sorry, 21 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:27.159 I'm sure that's brutal. I hear you get used to it, 22 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:29.760 but days like today. I mean, it's not even safe 23 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.319 to be outside, is it. I mean, they've got a 24 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:35.599 triple digit heat in decks, don't we. Yeah, So let 25 00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:37.159 me ask you this, and I could be I'm gonna 26 00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:39.359 I'm gonna google this while I'm gonna lay it out there, 27 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:41.519 and I'm gonna trust one of the parents who told 28 00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.239 me this yesterday of my son's football practice. But I'm 29 00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:48.280 gonna I'm gonna google it just to make sure it 30 00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:49.959 is correct. If not, I'll find the right number. But 31 00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:51.400 do you have a guess as to what the heat 32 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.359 in decks needs to be for them to not allow 33 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:54.680 you to practice outside? 34 00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:56.879 I would say, you know, if it was up to me, 35 00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.560 i'd say one hundred. But I'm sure it's not that. 36 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.599 Yeah, it's above that. It's one hundred and four. 37 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:10.680 Okay, So I mean, are we there yet? I mean, 38 00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:12.240 what does it say heat in decks is? I mean 39 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:13.759 you said triple it to the thought. Sorry, I'm not 40 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:15.240 putting you on the spot. I thought because you said it, 41 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:15.919 you had it in. 42 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:18.599 Front of you earlier. Yes, it was close to that. Yeah, 43 00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:19.919 but I'll give you the exact number. 44 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:20.439 Just a second. 45 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:27.039 Current heat indcks in Louisville, Kentucky right now is as 46 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:31.479 high as one oh one. Okay, so I mean it's 47 00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.159 getting there, you know, if it's one o two and 48 00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:38.199 yet the limits one oh four. I mean technically you 49 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:41.960 can practice, but who wants to. I mean the kids 50 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.199 are going to be useless out there. I mean they 51 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.080 usually are anyway, No offense to the four and five 52 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.240 year olds that my son plays flag football with. They're 53 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.240 not useless, but you know, I mean the majority of 54 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.080 an hour and a half practice with four and five 55 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:56.879 year olds playing flag football is just trying to get 56 00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:01.400 them to not you know, off or eat grass or 57 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:03.520 lay down or cry. I mean, and it's not because 58 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:05.439 they're bad kids. They're four and five year olds and 59 00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.080 they've been you know, probably in school. You know, that's 60 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:10.000 the thing. They're so young. I think only one or 61 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.400 two kids on my kid's team is in school. The others, 62 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.120 you know, they're in daycare and uh they got sitters 63 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:18.039 or something like that. So you know, anyways, we'll see. 64 00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:21.520 But it's hot outside, and uh that what a tease 65 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:22.400 it was last week? 66 00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.400 Right, this is Mother Nature's revenge this week. I mean she, 67 00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:28.080 I mean, can I say it? She's been she's been 68 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:29.960 a bitch lately. She has been a bitch. I mean 69 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:31.280 to case teases. 70 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.599 Yeah, to give us that last week with football being here, 71 00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:37.680 Week zero was in was there, and then we get 72 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.479 the you know, I had a hoodie on last Wednesday 73 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:43.520 night at my kid's practice because it was or Tuesday. 74 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:45.360 I'm sorry, because it was cool outside when the sun 75 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.039 you know, whenever it's you get to be about seven o'clock. 76 00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:50.800 Last week, it would be sixty nine to seventy degrees, 77 00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:52.479 and you know, with that breeze is hitting, you got 78 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:53.080 to throw a hood on. 79 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:54.360 I mean, you don't have to, but you know. 80 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.240 If it's any consolation, I do think next week we 81 00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:59.879 are going to see a return. Maybe not as no 82 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:01.879 as it was last week, but I do think it's 83 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:03.240 gonna be a little more temperate. 84 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:03.800 Yeah. 85 00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:06.719 Look, when football season gets here, I just everything like 86 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:08.919 life is bet My quality of life's better. I mean, 87 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.039 I'm not kidding, just I view things in life in 88 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.960 a more positive perspective when we've got this time of 89 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.959 the year, football season going on, the NFL starts next week, 90 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:20.959 and then of course basketball starts not long after. We 91 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:25.000 get rolling, and it's just great. But the one downside 92 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.240 is that you just get I think you actually get 93 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.759 more inconsistent weather when you get to like pre fall 94 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:31.560 or early fall. 95 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:33.920 Does it make sense, that's fair because you get excited 96 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:35.360 when you get a couple of weeks like we had 97 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.959 last week whenever it's really nice. But because of where 98 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.199 we live, we typically get some warmer weather for a 99 00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:42.279 couple of weeks here and there like that, like. 100 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:47.560 Late's like early spring, like you know, mid to early April. 101 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.279 That's also kind of an inconsistent time with weather. But 102 00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.079 usually it's it's to the point where you're either going 103 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:56.759 to be kind of chilly or you know, kind of warm. 104 00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.560 Here you could get you know, while it feels amazing 105 00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.920 outside and the humidity is low, or it's like, oh 106 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.480 my god, this is terrible, this is unbearable. So anyways, 107 00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:09.519 if you're outside, stay hydrated. It is funny how whenever 108 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:14.040 you whenever you you know, you are watching local news 109 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.079 or listening to news stations like our own news radio 110 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.040 eight forty whas down the hall, and we get weather 111 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:21.560 like this to where you know, they're probably going to 112 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.519 be potentially canceling practices for some high school teams around 113 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.800 the area. If the temperature gets so bad or the 114 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.680 heat index gets so high. And yet, you know, I'd 115 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:31.720 say the you know, the average demo for the news 116 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:33.519 is not young children, you know what I'm saying, Like 117 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.879 it's the average demo. I would say for the live 118 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:39.600 audience that's watching the nightly news or even like the 119 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.480 six o'clock news, I'm not kidding you. I'd say your 120 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:45.600 average is mid fifties. That's a guess. I could be 121 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:47.720 way wrong. I know young people watch the news, and 122 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:49.040 I do every now and then, but it's not a 123 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:50.839 regular thing for me. The people who make it an 124 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:54.639 appointment to watch the news in the evening or late night, 125 00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.720 it's probably people in their fifties or older. Not to 126 00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.519 say that everybody does, but I'd say that's the bulk 127 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.199 of them. And yet the people who you know are 128 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:06.040 our newscasters, they talk to us like we're five. Make 129 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.480 sure you drink water, hydrate, make sure you you know, 130 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:10.600 take care of and it's just like you know, I'm away, 131 00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:11.360 I'm a grown up. 132 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:11.519 You know. 133 00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.639 I don't like it, but I've gone through this type 134 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:17.680 of heat before. So anyways, welcome in Happy Tuesday. It 135 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:19.800 is coffee and Company and we are fueled by Thornton's 136 00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.279 here on Sports Talk seven ninety take us with you 137 00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:24.560 wherever you're going for the next three hours.

And if you want to be 140 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:31.519 a part of the show today, I don't have any 141 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:33.800 guest schedule. We're gonna be pretty guest heavy for the 142 00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:36.160 next three days, but today, once again, no guests. And 143 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:37.800 when I say guests heavy, I don't mean we're gonna 144 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.199 literally have a guest every segment. But you know, we 145 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.360 do the majority of our check ins with our friends, 146 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.720 our regulars Wednesday through Friday, and we're going to continue 147 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.480 to do that during football season. So again, if you 148 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.240 want to join us on the show, there's options. There's 149 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:53.279 plenty of ways you can contribute and be a part 150 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:55.040 of the show. Your best bet is to hit us 151 00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:57.040 up on the L and N Federal Credit Union text 152 00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.720 line five h two six five three zero seven ninety. 153 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.519 Also give us a call five ho two five seven 154 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:05.399 one seventy nine hundred And if you were on the platform, 155 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:08.240 they now call X. I still call Twitter at the 156 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:13.360 card connect and at Alden On the air, I was 157 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.399 typing your name the other day to somebody and I 158 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:18.759 and I wrote John al Dean, oh digit, And I thought, man, 159 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:21.560 John Alden, you could be a cover guy. You could 160 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:24.879 be a guy who just covers nothing but al Dean hits, 161 00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:26.120 and he's got a lot of them by the way 162 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:28.959 he does. And you could be John Alden instead of Jason. 163 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.040 Most people who mispronounced my last name that they go with, 164 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.759 even though it's not spelled the same way as Jason Aldan. 165 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:37.040 Tell them to try that in a small town they 166 00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:41.040 get it wrong again, they should at Alden on the air. 167 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:43.199 That's how you can find him. He's the company man, 168 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:45.680 mister John Alden. And again, if you didn't know, now 169 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:47.600 you know my name is Nick Coffee, hence the name 170 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:48.560 Coffee and Company. 171 00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:49.800 All Right, So. 172 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:55.120 I love when you open up the season against a 173 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.800 notable opponent and you get a chance to see right 174 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.560 away where your team stands in football. And I didn't 175 00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.160 realize it until we got closer to this season. How 176 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:05.680 rare it is for Louisville football to be opening up 177 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:12.720 with a Saturday game against a non Power five team. 178 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.759 And we can go back and check the archives. It's 179 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.199 not that difficult to do. But like Louisville has either 180 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.399 opened up on a week night against a RANDO team 181 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.000 or on a Sunday because they were playing Kentucky, or 182 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.560 they've had an opener against a legitimate opponent. And I 183 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:32.039 love that, And you know, I kind of got spoiled. Now, 184 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:35.120 as we discussed yesterday, there are some benefits here to 185 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.200 play Austin P and Jacksonville State and your opener because 186 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.399 like a lot of teams, you've got new pieces, right 187 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:43.240 and although a lot of these guys in the portal 188 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.200 that you're bringing in are experienced, they've not all played together. 189 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:46.480 Right. 190 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:49.039 This is you know, you've got a lot of new 191 00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:50.600 pieces that are going to be playing a lot of 192 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.919 reps this year, and they've had spring, they've had fall camp, 193 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.000 but now they're playing against, you know, an actual other 194 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.399 opponent and it's a real game that counts. So it 195 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.519 is beneficial to kind of ease in. And I wouldn't 196 00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:05.960 be shocked if Jeff Brohm takes this approach moving forward. 197 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.879 Don't love it, but I get it. So one of 198 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:14.000 the downsides of your Week one opponent being Austin P 199 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.799 is that it's Austin P. And like I could sit 200 00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:19.840 here and tell you some things about Austin P. But 201 00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:22.320 none of you care. We're not worried about Austin P 202 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:25.360 beating Louisville. We don't care about Austin P. 203 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:25.799 Do we. 204 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.720 I mean, I'm going to bring in a beat writer, because, 205 00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:31.759 believe it or not, Austin P Football does have a 206 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.360 beat writer that covers their team. I don't mean to, 207 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.279 you know, knock the guy because but like you wouldn't 208 00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:40.840 shock me if newspapers, which by the way, are slashing 209 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.799 jobs every day, if they decided, you know what, Austin 210 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.960 p'n we'll post your box scores. 211 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:47.399 Guys. 212 00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:50.080 We don't have the resources because nobody pays for the 213 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.559 newspaper anymore. We know the resources to pay anybody. But 214 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:54.720 we'll post a box score in there. Maybe maybe throw 215 00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.559 a coaches quote in there, will post game right up. 216 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:00.399 Maybe we'll use AI, which I'm not even kidding by 217 00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:02.120 the way. They I mean, I don't know if you 218 00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:06.960 remember last year there was a national service that rolled 219 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:11.519 out AI to provide, you know, very minimal postgame write 220 00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:14.879 ups about games by just looking at box scores. I 221 00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:16.480 don't know how AI works when it comes to that, 222 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.000 but they tried it, and you know, it got published 223 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:20.879 and it was a big embarrassment and they'll probably never 224 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:22.639 try that again. But that's just where we are. So 225 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:24.759 you know, we'll give you what you need to know. 226 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:26.600 But then again, what do you really need to know? 227 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:29.440 It's Austin P. And that's no disrespect to Austin P. 228 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.639 But as we discussed yesterday, you know, they know what's up. 229 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.639 They know what this is. Austin P's getting a big 230 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:40.000 check to come in here and get their ass kicked. 231 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:43.240 They can have the pregame pump up speech in the 232 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.279 locker room. They can talk about others that have shocked 233 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.519 the world. They can utter things like well, you know, 234 00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.159 crazier things have happened, But make no mistake about it. 235 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.159 In the back of their mind, they know what it is. 236 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:56.519 They know what time it is on Saturday at noon. 237 00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:59.200 Bend over and take it, take your check on the 238 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.759 way out. We'll see you later. That's what it is. 239 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.320 So you know, I can't wait to actually get real 240 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:10.320 Louisville football at noon on Saturday at Llen N Cardinal Stadium. 241 00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:12.159 I'm gonna be great. 242 00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:14.279 God, I can't wait to just pound beers at the 243 00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:16.840 tailgate I mean that, but that's you know, I'm not 244 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:19.919 really thinking, man, when I walk out of Cardinal Stadium, 245 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:23.720 it sober up find a place through the postgame show, 246 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:27.320 you know, man, I was. I'm so impressed with the 247 00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:31.399 way Jeff Broms offense really held their own against that 248 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:33.919 Austin p defense. I mean, like, I know that's not 249 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:36.080 realistically what's gonna happen. And when you play other teams, right, 250 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:37.879 like when you got Georgia Tech on the schedule in 251 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:40.279 a few weeks, you know you're gonna get a chance 252 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:41.960 to to you know, learn about your team a little 253 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.120 bit there because of what they did in Ireland knocking 254 00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:46.720 off FSU, pulling off the first big upset of the season. 255 00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:49.120 But that's not like that's just not what this is, 256 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.879 but it's part of it, right, And I don't see 257 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.039 a scenario where and by the way, if you ever 258 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.720 hear any coaches complain, and I don't think you will, 259 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:00.559 and maybe and I can't. I can't really think of 260 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.320 any big storylines or I guess say not storylines, but 261 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.639 like headlines, newsworthy stuff from these FCS programs that come 262 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:09.440 in here to get a check. Like I've not heard 263 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.600 many heard of coaches, you know, complaining about the score 264 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.120 being run up against them, you know what I mean, 265 00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:17.799 Or about somebody doing a pass play on third down 266 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.840 when they're up fifty. You know why, because beggars can't 267 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.600 beat choosers. Baby, you're coming in here and we're going 268 00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:27.799 to decide how this goes. So again I bring that 269 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:30.159 up to say that if they start complaining, you know, 270 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:32.559 all it takes is somebody to you know, realize we 271 00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:35.039 don't need to do this. I mean, we could just 272 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.000 get rid of these games. And who would suffer these schools, 273 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.799 That's it. That's the only people that would suffer from 274 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:46.759 not having these games against FCS teams. So anyways, with 275 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:48.600 all that said, I do have some fast facts for 276 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:50.000 you about Austin P. And I know you've been on 277 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:51.200 the edge of your seat, John to. 278 00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:52.840 Get this, So give me the fast facts. 279 00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:56.600 Austin P's head coach is younger than me. Really now, Yeah, 280 00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:00.480 his name's Austin I'm sorry, Jeff Ferris, not all Ferris. 281 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:02.440 Austin P' is the school, but Jeff Ferris is his name. 282 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:03.919 He's thirty four years old. 283 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.200 I mean, young gun. 284 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.960 Young guy, played at Duke. He's a Duchie. He was 285 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.679 a longtime duke assistant under David Cutcliffe before he retired. 286 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:20.559 And once Cutcliffe retired and they brought in Elko, he moved. 287 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:25.840 Ferris moved to LA to work under Chip Kelly. He 288 00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:29.120 is a Knoxville, Tennessee native, and he replaced a guy 289 00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:32.279 named Scotty Walden. Then go went to school with the Scotty Walden. 290 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:35.960 He was him the band might be the same guy, 291 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.440 North Bullet PEP Band, Austin p head coach. Not a 292 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.960 crazy career path if you think about it. But anyways, 293 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:49.480 this guy, Scotty Walden, he's now been hired at UTEP 294 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:55.480 after four seasons at Austin P So with Ferris, he's 295 00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:59.759 bringing in is an entire new staff. They've got a 296 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.000 they've got an offensive coordinator who was the quarterback coach 297 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:07.720 at Jackson State. That's uh, It's where Dion went right, 298 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:10.799 it was so did he? I wonder if he was 299 00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:13.600 the quarterbacks coach for Dion there. He probably was just 300 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:17.120 there for a year when Dion. You know when Dion moved, 301 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:19.399 because I thought Dion brought his luggage with him. 302 00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:21.600 Louis has Gucci or yes, Louis, Yeah. 303 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:23.919 He's he didn't. He's not with him at Colorado instead, 304 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:24.519 he's at Austin, PE. 305 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:25.320 So he must not be. 306 00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:28.720 Louie was a Gucci or Louis Louis you had it. Yeah, 307 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:32.200 So anyways, Uh, their defensive coordinator is Trip Weaver. 308 00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:34.279 That's a good name. That's a TV character name. Is 309 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.639 it not old Trip Weaver? Trip Weaver? He was up 310 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:39.799 to no good exactly, Trip Weaver. 311 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:43.120 In the family sitcom of the nineties, Trip Weaver is 312 00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:47.080 the neighborhood kid that the dad you know, just doesn't like, 313 00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:50.320 and Trip Weaver just shows up, walks in, like to 314 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.240 his garage when he's working on uh, working on the car. 315 00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:55.440 The dad is and Trip Weaver walks over to his 316 00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:57.919 to his fridge and like tries to steal a beer, 317 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:00.639 and the Dad's like, come on, Trip, I'm right here. 318 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:02.440 You know, like you could see that. You can visualize 319 00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:04.639 the scene playing out right absolutely. And then like at 320 00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:09.919 one point the trip the dad's son, he gets caught 321 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:11.879 with a joint at school. 322 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:13.519 You know what a joint is. I do know what 323 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:14.320 a joint is. 324 00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:15.960 They don't know if they still call it that or nothing. 325 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:17.759 You know, back when my parents were grow don't think 326 00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:19.559 they called it a doobie. We called it a joint. 327 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:21.559 Maybe they got something new out there now they call it. 328 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:24.320 I don't know, but the kid gets caught with a 329 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:26.440 joint and then they later find out that he was 330 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.759 holding it for Trip Weaver. Tell me, that's not an 331 00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:33.480 episode in a family sitcom that came out in nineteen 332 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:34.080 ninety seven. 333 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:37.919 CBS should sign you right now. Exactly every other show 334 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:40.600 on there is the same. Probably they should sign me. 335 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.559 I got all these ideas just running around up here 336 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.080 in this big head of mine. But anyways, Trip Weaver 337 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.759 coached the safeties at East Carolina most recently. They also 338 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.440 have and this is wild the biggest name on the staff, 339 00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.039 according to this write up at the Leaf Chronicle, the 340 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:03.360 newspaper there in Clarksfield, Tennessee. Yeah, George Quarrels is the 341 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:06.320 biggest name on the staff. He's a legendary coach at 342 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:10.240 Maryville High School and he was East Tennessee State's coach 343 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:12.960 in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three. He's not 344 00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:16.200 gonna be coaching the tight ends, so I guess he 345 00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:18.840 was a legendary high school coach. Made the move at 346 00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:21.039 He's to East Tennessee State and now he's on the 347 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:24.879 Austin p staff, So you know, I don't it looks 348 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:28.799 like they've got forty three of their one hundred and 349 00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:31.440 two players on their roster were on their team last 350 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:37.159 year who won the inaugural United Athletic Conference championship. Their 351 00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:42.559 quarterback is h looks like their quarterback he's exhausted his eligibility, 352 00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:45.080 which means he's not he's not back. But a lot 353 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.120 of the other departures, you know, hit via the portal, 354 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:50.120 which that is something I'm I'm curious about, like this, 355 00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:53.240 does this level get gutted by the portal as much 356 00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:59.000 as G five because I feel like it's a rare. 357 00:16:59.080 --> 00:16:59.480 I don't know. 358 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:02.759 Maybe the G five schools get these kids from the 359 00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:06.240 fcs because the really good G five players end up 360 00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:08.400 hitting the portal to go power five. Like maybe that's 361 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:12.119 the food chain here. I don't know, But did you 362 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:14.839 know that they've got a defensive back that is transferred 363 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.039 in John who played for the Hoosiers last year. 364 00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:19.079 Oh give me, give me the name. Who is it? 365 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.480 Saidarius Dass? I do remember Sadarius DAWs. I don't think 366 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:25.240 he played very Are you wearing you Yeah at Austin P. 367 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:27.680 Are you going to be wearing your Sceidarius Doss jersey 368 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:29.240 to the game on Saturday? 369 00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:31.920 Take it up out of the deep depths of the closet. Yeah. 370 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:35.319 So he's from Birmingham, Alabama, and uh doesn't look like 371 00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:40.119 he played much. Actually fifteen starts since in Uh oh wow, 372 00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:45.279 this can't be true, right he is a sixth year 373 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:46.839 he's a seventh year senior. 374 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:50.880 Doesn't surprise me. Yeah, nothing with the eligibility. Yeah, that's crazy. 375 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:52.640 That surprises me anymore. 376 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:55.960 So in twenty three career games in fifteen starts over 377 00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:58.359 six seasons at IU, he's a seventh year guy at 378 00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:02.480 Austin P. Is he the same age as coach? Could 379 00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:08.680 be closed, I mean not far right. So anyways, that's 380 00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:11.359 what you should know about Austin P. And they're coming 381 00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:13.400 here to get a beat down. And uh, you know, 382 00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:15.480 I've already had some people in the text line. Somebody 383 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:17.839 said it within the last five minutes or so. Somebody 384 00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:21.000 said it yesterday when I was talking about this game. Look, 385 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:24.079 I know Austin P won their conference last year. Like 386 00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:26.119 I know Austin P was nine and three. I don't care. 387 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.079 And if you know, and like I understand that if 388 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.519 you're Jeff Bram, you're probably telling your guys these that 389 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:35.839 these this team was successful last year and they bring 390 00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:38.279 back some play. I get it, But like, you can't 391 00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:41.519 claim that you think Louisville football is remotely decent if 392 00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:44.000 you look at this game and feel like you know 393 00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:46.240 we we I mean again, by the way, biggest lie 394 00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:48.920 you ever hear as when it comes to sports and 395 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:53.880 fans about overlooking an opponent. Remember last year when everybody 396 00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:56.240 was told, well, you got hey, Notre Dame's coming up, 397 00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:58.599 we got in C State here, can't overlook them, Yeah 398 00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:00.680 we can. We don't play, We will have no impact 399 00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:03.160 in the game. We can overlook. We can overlook By 400 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:06.680 two years, I could start talking about, you know, when 401 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:08.839
