Speaker 1: It's time for coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2: Holy crap, I don't know who the hell we think
Speaker 2: we are.
Speaker 1: Get off our show, idiot. The kids are playing or
Speaker 1: trail off. The countries are screwing it up. Gold play
Speaker 1: Inner Murals, Brother, gold Play Inner Murals. They're supposed to
Speaker 1: be mature adults, but they're really not. Who's the kid here?
Speaker 3: Who's the kid here?
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Now? Here's Nick coffee?
Speaker 2: All right, let's get the week started here. Coffee and Company.
Speaker 2: That's us. We are fueled about Thornton's here on Sports
Speaker 2: Talk seven ninety. Nick coffee with you. That is me,
Speaker 2: the company man, mister John all on the alongside as
Speaker 2: we take you up until six o'clock as always on
Speaker 2: a Monday. A lot to react to from the weekend,
Speaker 2: but man, I'm dragging a little bit today. Very busy weekend,
Speaker 2: great weekend, overall heavy weekend. Really, I mean just when
Speaker 2: I say heavy, Friday was just a day from hell
Speaker 2: with my vehicle, which we talked about Saturday. Just busy, busy, busy.
Speaker 2: I mean I was out at a four and five
Speaker 2: year old flag football game in the morning, then straight
Speaker 2: to tailgating, then inside and like a lot of you
Speaker 2: not sure I've ever swept that much in my life.
Speaker 2: And I'm not blaming any meteorologists here, because I mean
Speaker 2: everybody said it was supposed to be hot, but like
Speaker 2: I didn't look at the temperature forecast like ahead of
Speaker 2: time or even when I would check my phone and
Speaker 2: be like, damn, is it the hottest day in the
Speaker 2: history of the world today, Like nothing would tell me
Speaker 2: it was hot, but nothing would tell me that, like
Speaker 2: this is next level, but man, it felt like it.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it was. Probably a mixture of
Speaker 2: just very hot temperature and disgusting humidity, but man was
Speaker 2: it was sweaty. And then yesterday, well nobody probably cares
Speaker 2: about this, but yesterday was just a busy day we honored. Well,
Speaker 2: it was my nephew's birthday who passed away a couple
Speaker 2: of years ago, and just a big family day and
Speaker 2: that's just there's I don't know, I feel like today's
Speaker 2: one of those days where I need a day to
Speaker 2: recover from the weekend. But I used to say that,
Speaker 2: and it was just about you know, like being a
Speaker 2: twenty something year old that would just drink too much
Speaker 2: and be an idiot. Now it's just because you know, life,
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes you just need, you know, a day
Speaker 2: to reset because life is just you know, not bad,
Speaker 2: just you know heavy. But I can already tell within
Speaker 2: the first two minutes of the show today this is
Speaker 2: what I needed.
Speaker 3: It's a pick me up.
Speaker 2: That's what this show does to me, and I hope
Speaker 2: it does the same for you guys as well. So
Speaker 2: a lot to get into. And I mentioned just how
Speaker 2: hot it was on Saturday. I mean, I can't imagine
Speaker 2: if you were at the Music Festival Bourbon and beyond.
Speaker 2: I mean, what would you say? And again, I'm such
Speaker 2: a I'm so ignorant to how this works, because I mean,
Speaker 2: I feel like I had a hell of an experience
Speaker 2: when you and I John went to Louder than Life
Speaker 2: last year. We were probably there thirty minutes, maybe.
Speaker 3: Probably about an hour actually.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, because it was before the show, was it
Speaker 2: not we did we leave there and come and do
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 3: Yes, it was like one or two o'clock in the afternoon.
Speaker 2: So like, I wasn't hear that long when it was us.
Speaker 2: But yet I feel like, man, that was it was
Speaker 2: a lot. Now, we did a lot of moving, a
Speaker 2: lot of talking, so we got what we needed and
Speaker 2: it was a great experience. But my point is, if
Speaker 2: you were like, how, what's the average amount of time?
Speaker 2: You would think that somebody who has an all day
Speaker 2: pass would be there? Because there are some that are
Speaker 2: literally going to be there from start to finish, like
Speaker 2: those that camp out.
Speaker 3: It's me, not the campers, but I'm usually there from
Speaker 3: opening of the gates to the end of the show.
Speaker 2: How I mean, I wouldn't imagine that that's that rare.
Speaker 3: No, especially if you're going for just a day or
Speaker 3: two like myself. Now, if you're somebody who's there and
Speaker 3: you're out of town and you've got weekend passes, you
Speaker 3: have the ability to go in and out pretty much
Speaker 3: as you please. So there's no telling what those people do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, the reason I ask is because I mean,
Speaker 2: it was miserable as far as just the heat. It
Speaker 2: was nice that I was doing things I enjoy, like
Speaker 2: watching my son's football team play tailgating and then going
Speaker 2: into the game for the first half. But like my
Speaker 2: point is, I really wasn't outside nearly as long as
Speaker 2: I would imagine the majority of the people who were
Speaker 2: at that event, and they're I mean, the best way
Speaker 2: I could describe it. And if you were out there
Speaker 2: in the heat, then you know, like no matter what,
Speaker 2: if you were just outside, you were just going to
Speaker 2: continuously drip sweat. And I know some people sweat differently,
Speaker 2: like I'm I'm probably like a mid level sweater. I'm
Speaker 2: not somebody who just you know, is all the time
Speaker 2: just dripping sweat. But like, I don't care if you're
Speaker 2: somebody who rarely sweats. You were sweating your ass off
Speaker 2: on Saturday if you were outside, and it just felt
Speaker 2: like one of the I mean I heard people talking
Speaker 2: about it being one of the hottest days ever at
Speaker 2: at Cardinal Stadium for a Louisville game, and I mean
Speaker 2: I would believe that just because I was there, But
Speaker 2: again the numbers would surprise me. Like it wasn't like
Speaker 2: it was over one hundred degrees. It was like ninety one.
Speaker 2: Ninety two I think was the high. But I think
Speaker 2: it was a reminder for us, and we talked about
Speaker 2: it all the time. John. It's that damn humidity that's
Speaker 2: what makes it just so unbearable at times.
Speaker 3: But as of yesterday, we are officially into the season
Speaker 3: of fall. So I guess that means it's all downhill
Speaker 3: from here, hopefully good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So there were a burban and beyond. Two hundred
Speaker 2: and ten thousand people was the total attendance for the
Speaker 2: four day festival. According to the event, sixty thousand of
Speaker 2: those people were there on Saturday, So sixty k alone
Speaker 2: on Saturday. And I'm just curious how many of those
Speaker 2: sixty thousand, I wonder, were there like from start to finish,
Speaker 2: because shout out to you here, I am complaining about
Speaker 2: how the heat was just a pain in the rear
Speaker 2: in But you know, I was at a football game
Speaker 2: for about an hour and a half in the morning
Speaker 2: when it really hadn't got that hot yet. Although it
Speaker 2: was hot early, I knew it was going to be
Speaker 2: a brutal day. And then you know, I get in
Speaker 2: the car, ac run home, grab our cooler, drop my
Speaker 2: daughter off, and then myself and my wife and Moose
Speaker 2: went to the game. We tailgated. We were outside for
Speaker 2: probably I would say, I don't know, an hour and
Speaker 2: a half hour and forty five tailgating, and then we
Speaker 2: went into the game and you know, not indoors, we
Speaker 2: weren't in any kind of a suite by the way
Speaker 2: or anything like that. And then we left it half
Speaker 2: time because I had to get situated for the post
Speaker 2: gum show. So it was miserable for me. But shout
Speaker 2: out to you if you were at Bourbon and Beyond
Speaker 2: all Day, because like, props to you for living. I
Speaker 2: feel like I would have died. I'm not built like
Speaker 2: you people who do the all day music festival. Shout
Speaker 2: out to those guys because like that, I mean, I
Speaker 2: hope you were hydrating.
Speaker 3: I'm just glad that Louder than Life is expecting a
Speaker 3: lot lower temperatures. I mean not significantly like the sixties
Speaker 3: or something like that, but I believe low eighties. But
Speaker 3: there is some chances for rain this weekend, so yeah,
Speaker 3: I saw that there.
Speaker 2: Hopefully that goes away because I feel like like like
Speaker 2: they kind of adopted me into that crew, the Louder
Speaker 2: than Life rock metal, you know, like cosplay kind of thing,
Speaker 2: like that's what that's what we experienced, and I didn't
Speaker 2: know what to expect, and there's a lot to look at.
Speaker 2: I mean, I could have I could have stayed it
Speaker 2: Louder than Life last year from the day that opened
Speaker 2: the gate until the Sunday when they closed it just
Speaker 2: because there's so much to see. But they were all
Speaker 2: so kind, they were so nice. We talked about that,
Speaker 2: just not that long ago. So anyways, it was it
Speaker 2: was a scorcher, and you know, I hope to never
Speaker 2: the rest of the way have a game where it's
Speaker 2: and I'm yeah, you mentioned the falls here. It's getting
Speaker 2: to the end of September, so I would imagine that
Speaker 2: that's probably the last super hot football game we're gonna
Speaker 2: have at Cardinal Stadium. But again, it is Coffee and Company.
Speaker 2: We are feel about Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2: Appreciate you guys hanging out with us here today. I
Speaker 2: am still a blessed Nana as of right now, and
Speaker 2: I still have not heard a single thing since we
Speaker 2: started the show Friday, and I shared the story about
Speaker 2: what happened in my car, and I'm not going to
Speaker 2: get back into it right now, but the first text
Speaker 2: I saw was somebody asking for an update about my vehicle.
Speaker 2: And I am still a blessed Nana, thankfully, but I
Speaker 2: have I have not had any like The dealership has
Speaker 2: been cool as hell. Shout out to them. I don't
Speaker 2: know if I'm allowed to talk about them, but I'm
Speaker 2: gonna make sure I find a way to get approval
Speaker 2: and maybe I can start talking about the dealership on
Speaker 2: this show, and you know, in a consistent way, because
Speaker 2: they've been great and nobody from AutoZone has reached out.
Speaker 2: I've left two messages talk to one person of like corporate,
Speaker 2: and they all took my info and like not nothing,
Speaker 2: not nothing. So it stressed me out, John, I don't
Speaker 2: know if you can tell, but like I'm very I'm
Speaker 2: starting to get worried that I may like not have
Speaker 2: a vehicle for a long time. And even if in fact,
Speaker 2: like AutoZone did, like and they already have, like they've
Speaker 2: already admitted theirs a it's their fault by sending it
Speaker 2: to the dealership and it being built to them to fix, right,
Speaker 2: Like that's you can't dispute that you weren't fault here.
Speaker 2: But like they got lawyers, Like if I tried to say, look,
Speaker 2: my car's ruined, you need to get me a new car,
Speaker 2: like you know how even if I won and I
Speaker 2: came out on the end where they had to in
Speaker 2: fact do exactly that, you know, long that probably take
Speaker 2: in the fact that they haven't offered to get me
Speaker 2: like a rental or anything like that. They're lucky. I'm
Speaker 2: a blessed nana because if not, then I'd be I mean,
Speaker 2: I'd be raising hell, which I probably should be. That's
Speaker 2: what's got me so, you know, worked up about it.
Speaker 2: But we'll get to the car later. But I want
Speaker 2: to say this. Have you ever driven a car that
Speaker 2: is pushed to start? I have, but it was like,
Speaker 2: not my car. Yeah, well so I my car's not
Speaker 2: and my cars are twenty nineteen, like it's new. But
Speaker 2: obviously there's new cars made every year, so I don't
Speaker 2: have push to start. And I keep getting out of
Speaker 2: the vehicle with it running and shutting the door and
Speaker 2: walking away, and then people are like, uh, hey, your
Speaker 2: car's running. So happened this morning when I went to
Speaker 2: the doctor with my daughter. Happened on Friday when I
Speaker 2: first started driving it. So I gotta I guess eventually
Speaker 2: you get used to it. But I've never I've never
Speaker 2: driven a vehicle, you know, other than maybe a rental
Speaker 2: for a day or two that is a push to start,
Speaker 2: and it's convenient, but like routine for me, is always
Speaker 2: like if I've got my if I've got the key
Speaker 2: in my pocket, then we're good because I'm you know,
Speaker 2: but that's not the case to keeping me in your pocket.
Speaker 2: You can walk away. So anyways, let's talk about what
Speaker 2: happened on Saturday. And trust me, there's a lot to
Speaker 2: get into with Louisville football overall, and this week it's
Speaker 2: a huge week. You've got Notre Dame a top fifteen
Speaker 2: I guess top sixteen matchup. You're already in a really
Speaker 2: good spot as it stands right now, and a win
Speaker 2: here would be huge. I don't care what it would
Speaker 2: mean about Notre and their season essentially kind of being
Speaker 2: because again Louisvill is gonna be the last ranked team
Speaker 2: that they're going to play at home, and they I mean,
Speaker 2: if Louisville is even close to the team that a
Speaker 2: lot of people think they are, Notre Dame, this is
Speaker 2: huge for them, Like you're gonna get their best game.
Speaker 2: And I got to tell you, and I don't. I
Speaker 2: don't think louisill was great on Saturday. I'm well aware
Speaker 2: Notre Dame could win. I know that their favorites, but
Speaker 2: this is not even coming from like a cocky standpoint.
Speaker 2: It's just the truth. I'm not worried about Notre Dame.
Speaker 2: They can beat Louis well again, anybody can if little
Speaker 2: didn't come to play well, But I'm not worried about
Speaker 2: Marcus Freeman. I don't think he's that good of a coach.
Speaker 2: And their win at Texas A and m you know,
Speaker 2: to me, it's whatever they lost to Northern Illinois, who,
Speaker 2: by the way, I don't know if anybody paid attention
Speaker 2: to what happened in the MAC. You probably didn't because
Speaker 2: why would you. But Northern Illinois, after beating Notre Dame,
Speaker 2: then lost to Buffalo, who was picked to finish tenth
Speaker 2: out of twelve in that league. I mean they won't
Speaker 2: their quarterback Riley Leonard. That's his name, right, is it? Okay?
Speaker 2: Was he at Duke? Yes, okay, I get him confused, man,
Speaker 2: But anyways, like he's he's not really looked good for them,
Speaker 2: and he's been injured. I mean he has one passing
Speaker 2: touchdown on the season and two interceptions. You know, they
Speaker 2: only put up twenty eight points against Miami Ohio. Again,
Speaker 2: they lost to Northern Olinois on their home field. So
Speaker 2: this isn't to say like, Hey, Louisville's going to go
Speaker 2: in there and beat their ass. I just feel like
Speaker 2: Louisville is capable of playing well and winning and I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna beat Like it's not to me. This isn't
Speaker 2: You're going up to South Bend to pull off the unthinkable.
Speaker 2: You're a higher ranked team than them, so I'm excited
Speaker 2: about that. But anyways, let's get to some quick quick
Speaker 2: hits here on Saturday's game. Like, I know, we do
Speaker 2: a postgame show. I think that's a different audience for
Speaker 2: the most part, and usually when the game just ends,
Speaker 2: you know, it's hard for me to have you know,
Speaker 2: I usually have an idea of where I want to
Speaker 2: go as far as how I want to start the show,
Speaker 2: which direction I want to go in, as far as
Speaker 2: initial takeaways. Then we hear from Coach Brown, we hear
Speaker 2: from callers, and we kind of go from there. So
Speaker 2: you know, I love the postgame show and it's a
Speaker 2: lot of fun and I thank all of you who
Speaker 2: tune in. But usually by Monday, I've got some belated thoughts,
Speaker 2: as they say, and here they are. I'm kind of
Speaker 2: afraid to say it, John, but like I don't think
Speaker 2: they played very well, but they also didn't play like terrible.
Speaker 2: Like put it this way, it was not a clean game,
Speaker 2: and some teams can go ten eleven wins and not
Speaker 2: really be a clean football team. Right. You grind it out,
Speaker 2: you went ugly. You know, you just happen to make
Speaker 2: the right plays at the right time that dictate who
Speaker 2: wins and who loses. So I want to give Georgia
Speaker 2: text him credit because I still think they're good. I
Speaker 2: was consistent last week. I think they've got a good
Speaker 2: football team. I think they've got a good coach. And
Speaker 2: clearly he must be a real fan favorite of the
Speaker 2: a referee favorite, because the way he was granted that
Speaker 2: time out in the third quart, I mean, that was
Speaker 2: insane like that and if that would have been like
Speaker 2: the game changing play, I mean, again, it all worked
Speaker 2: out for Louisville, But like that was I yelled and
Speaker 2: screamed and cursed in a way that like, I haven't
Speaker 2: watching Louisville sports in a long long time. I was
Speaker 2: lifeless with basketball, and then last year it was just
Speaker 2: such a honeymoon season. But I was angry, to my
Speaker 2: surprise as far as how angry I was when the
Speaker 2: refs gave Brent Key that time out after the play,
Speaker 2: after the ball was already snapped. But it also made
Speaker 2: me feel alive John like it was like, oh, this
Speaker 2: is It was a renewed type of energy exactly. And
Speaker 2: that's why I like last week I kept saying, I
Speaker 2: kind of feel like the season hasn't started yet. I
Speaker 2: feel like this opener against Georgia Tech really is the opener,
Speaker 2: and that that moment where I, for the first time
Speaker 2: just completely lost my mind probably didn't look good again.
Speaker 2: My wife was upset at me. I mean not really,
Speaker 2: but like you know, put it this way, Moose heard
Speaker 2: some words he's never heard before. That's what it comes
Speaker 2: down to, and that's not a good look. And he's
Speaker 2: so receptive, Like if he ends up cursing, it's gonna
Speaker 2: either be because he's around people we don't know that
Speaker 2: are dropping f bombs and whatnot, or it's gonna be
Speaker 2: his dad's fault. Like there's no way around that. So
Speaker 2: I just got to be mindful of it. But anyways,
Speaker 2: I respect Georgia Tech, I really do, and teams don't
Speaker 2: play clean against them, even when they beat him like
Speaker 2: Georgia was. Georgia beat him by one score. Last year,
Speaker 2: they never lost consecutive games, and they still haven't under
Speaker 2: Brent Key. So I'm not here to tell you that
Speaker 2: beating Georgia Tech means that Louisville is legitimately a top
Speaker 2: fifteen team. I mean they are right now based off
Speaker 2: the rankings. But like that wasn't like, Okay, now we
Speaker 2: know this team is legitimate, Lealie. I still think they
Speaker 2: can be. I haven't really seen anything that tells me, oh,
Speaker 2: maybe we don't have as good of a team as
Speaker 2: we thought we had. Haven't seen that yet. Now I
Speaker 2: don't like where we are from an injury standpoint, which
Speaker 2: I'll talk about here in just a moment. But you know,
Speaker 2: I give Georgia Tech credit, and I look when Louisville
Speaker 2: was able to take advantage of a really stupid decision
Speaker 2: by Haines King where he threw that ball. Don't know
Speaker 2: what the hell he was thinking. He went full will
Speaker 2: Levice there in the first quarter. And you know, credit
Speaker 2: to Ramonte Pierre and the rest of the defense being
Speaker 2: ready and knowing that that was a live ball and
Speaker 2: they hopped on it scored. That's a defensive touchdown. So
Speaker 2: like some would say, that's luck. But no, like, if
Speaker 2: you stay locked in, you're a good football team, all coached,
Speaker 2: you're well prepared, you're disciplined. You make teams pay for
Speaker 2: doing dumb ass stuff. And that's exactly what you did
Speaker 2: with Haynes King. Those aren't Those aren't plays that happen
Speaker 2: very often in games, right, pretty rare. You know what
Speaker 2: else is rare? A blocked field goal for a touchdown,
Speaker 2: But we got that one too. That's just you know,
Speaker 2: staying locked in and making a big play that can
Speaker 2: flip a game. It's huge, even that your Corey Brooks
Speaker 2: touchdown where he got caught up, they called pass interference
Speaker 2: and then he just spun around ball right where it
Speaker 2: needs to be. That's a score. I mean, that's a
Speaker 2: talented player making a big time play. So I don't
Speaker 2: know if you'd call that luck. That's just having a
Speaker 2: dude that is better than their dude. But it speaks
Speaker 2: to this team. You know, someone say those are flukey
Speaker 2: type things and you can't bank on those things happening
Speaker 2: night in and night out. But if you stay locked
Speaker 2: in and you you know, you play, you put yourself
Speaker 2: in that situation. You just make you know, you make
Speaker 2: people pay and adversity had kicked in. I mean, I
Speaker 2: think they knew that Brent Key was handed a timeout
Speaker 2: that you know, I don't want, I don't want to
Speaker 2: present it as if Louisville's being screwed by the reps.
Speaker 2: But there were a couple of things that, like, even
Speaker 2: though the players are told to lock in and not
Speaker 2: worry about it and just hey, next play, stay focused,
Speaker 2: all that stuff you hear from coaches, like they're humans,
Speaker 2: they know that they just got screwed by a couple
Speaker 2: of calls, and yet they still were locked in and
Speaker 2: made made big plays. So, you know, I think because
Speaker 2: of how some of those scores happen. You look at
Speaker 2: the box score and you wonder how Louisville won, and
Speaker 2: it's because again the specific types of scores. They got,
Speaker 2: a special team's touchdown and a defensive touchdown. Georgia Tech
Speaker 2: had more total yards than Louisville did, four ten to
Speaker 2: three twenty six. Neither team could run the ball, and
Speaker 2: that is a little concerning for me. I mean, you've
Speaker 2: got Maurice Turner who is out doesn't sound I don't,
Speaker 2: I don't. I think Jeff word for Words said not
Speaker 2: optimistic whenever he was talking about Maurice. So you know,
Speaker 2: Cheney played but didn't didn't do a whole lot. And
Speaker 2: you know, I think Louisville's running game was, you know,
Speaker 2: was supposed to be, you know, best case scenario for
Speaker 2: your running backs this year, I think was that you
Speaker 2: clearly don't have a Jawar Jordan and you don't have
Speaker 2: an Isaac Garrindo, but you've got a stable of really
Speaker 2: solid running backs and a young freshman who might eventually
Speaker 2: be a superstar, and that should be good enough. Well,
Speaker 2: now you've got Donald Cheney, who it sounds like it's
Speaker 2: still not one hundred percent, and Maurice Turner's out. So
Speaker 2: the run game, you know, we knew it was not
Speaker 2: going to be what it was last year, and my
Speaker 2: whole thought was that it didn't need to be. And
Speaker 2: sure enough, when the run game wasn't working, they were
Speaker 2: able to air it out. I mean, Tyler Shuck, you know,
Speaker 2: I think we learned about him in that game. Thirteen
Speaker 2: and nineteen, tw hundred and sixty nine yards, two touchdowns.
Speaker 2: I mean, not perfect by any means, but like I
Speaker 2: think we got ourselves a pretty good quarterback that I
Speaker 2: feel confident in. It was surprising usually Jeff. Usually with Jeff,
Speaker 2: I feel like if the running game isn't like I
Speaker 2: just assume that if there's any sign that the running
Speaker 2: game might not be working and you might not be
Speaker 2: able to get things established, that he would happily abandon
Speaker 2: it and say, all right, here we go, let's air
Speaker 2: it out.
Speaker 3: But he didn't do that.
Speaker 2: He was I think he was persistent in trying to
Speaker 2: get the run game established, and he looked despite what
Speaker 2: people think about both Jeff Brahm and even Bobby Petrino,
Speaker 2: like those guys like to light up the scoreboard, but
Speaker 2: what really made them so great offensively was the balance.
Speaker 2: Were all there's such balanced play callers, and Jeff has
Speaker 2: actually become more balanced as he's been a head coach
Speaker 2: for longer. Definitely shifted that direction at Purdue and last year,
Speaker 2: you know, that was just the team he had. You
Speaker 2: were going to be a good team offensively if you
Speaker 2: got the running backs going. So I'm a little worried
Speaker 2: about that. But you know, maybe Maurice Turner comes back healthy,
Speaker 2: and you know, maybe we see Isaac Isaac Brown become
Speaker 2: a phenom sooner rather than later. But yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: to see that You're leading rusher on the day was Cheney,
Speaker 2: who had just twenty three yards. I mean, that's it's
Speaker 2: not great, but hey, you still won, you still were
Speaker 2: able to You're still able to win. And I love
Speaker 2: I mean, ja Corey Brooks, that's a guy that you know. Again,
Speaker 2: four catches, one hundred and twenty five yards a touchdown
Speaker 2: on five targets. I mean twenty eight yards after catch.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's really special. Chris Bell just two catches,
Speaker 2: but both were huge. Jayden Johnson played well and now
Speaker 2: he's out for the year, which is a real bummer.
Speaker 2: You know, when it comes to the tight ends. I
Speaker 2: still think you've got you gotta like what you have
Speaker 2: with with Redmond and Jamari Johnson. So I feel good
Speaker 2: about this team. But I'm also fine with saying that
Speaker 2: they didn't play great. But it doesn't mean, oh I'm
Speaker 2: worried about the trip to Notre Dame. I just think
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech does a good job of uglying things up
Speaker 2: and I still think they're a pretty good team. And
Speaker 2: Louisville won the game by twelve points and cover the spread.
Speaker 2: So now you move on to Notre Dame and it's
Speaker 2: a big week folks like I don't need to tell
Speaker 2: you that. I think you all know. I mean, we
Speaker 2: can make fun of Notre Dame for not being in
Speaker 2: a conference and not really being relevant in a long
Speaker 2: long time. Like I shouldn't say relevant. They are relevant.
Speaker 2: They're always gonna be relevant. Maybe, I mean that was
Speaker 2: the wrong way to word it. They've not legitimately like
Speaker 2: done it. There's not anything on their resume that stands
Speaker 2: out in a long time for their standard that would
Speaker 2: make it, you know, they would make they would give
Speaker 2: them justification to feel the way they feel about themselves,
Speaker 2: if I'm making any sense here, right, Like Notre Dame,
Speaker 2: I mean, you ask their fans, they believe they are
Speaker 2: the premier program in college football, no questions asked. It's
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. It's the Irish Rudy all that, all that
Speaker 2: lame stuff. Right, But they haven't won a national championship
Speaker 2: in how long you have a guest, John, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: look it up here, putting you on the spot here.
Speaker 3: Feel like it's the nineties, is it not.
Speaker 2: Their last national title was the year I was born,
Speaker 2: oh Man in nineteen eighty eight. And look, there's a
Speaker 2: lot of schools Loisville included, that has never won a
Speaker 2: national championship, never even like sniffed it. So it's not
Speaker 2: like to make fun of them, But they're Notre Dame,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like, at some point, can
Speaker 2: you still have the brand value? I mean again, the
Speaker 2: brand value is there, but you know, you gotta wonder
Speaker 2: if twenty years from now they don't win a title,
Speaker 2: that wouldn't they shouldn't be a shocker considering the fact
Speaker 2: that they haven't done it in thirty five, thirty six years,
Speaker 2: But like, well, they still have this same I guess
Speaker 2: image and brand.
Speaker 1: I guess.
Speaker 2: I mean, everybody's got a brand. I guess the because
Speaker 2: I here I am acting like the brand's not as
Speaker 2: valuable as it once was. But you know what, you
Speaker 2: know what speaks to your value and your brand is
Speaker 2: like do people care? And they have it? They have there.
Speaker 2: They have a national fan base that even just if
Speaker 2: it's those people alone watching right, just the Notre Dame
Speaker 2: fans watching on NBC or Peacock, the numbers there still
Speaker 2: make it to where if we're gonna chalk up who
Speaker 2: in fact really moves the needle in college football, like
Speaker 2: they're always going to be there, but it definitely has changed.
Speaker 2: Louisville now is going up to South Bend for the
Speaker 2: third time in ten years. And it's not just because
Speaker 2: you know you've got a good team. It's not just
Speaker 2: because you know you have one up there before. But
Speaker 2: like this is not viewed as oh, like, hey, we
Speaker 2: could play really great and still lose and we're gonna
Speaker 2: build from him. No, you go win the game. I
Speaker 2: don't know my always got so high. Mickey Mouse is here.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, there you go. Thank you. John Gotta sounded
Speaker 2: young man, not even like clearly that was me doing
Speaker 2: a Mickey voice, but like that, I feel like it
Speaker 2: was twenty years ago. So you need is a little magic.
Speaker 2: We don't need the magic Mickey because me can just
Speaker 2: go play good, clean football and leave there with a victory.
Speaker 2: Good stuff, all right, real quick, before we get to
Speaker 2: our first break here injuries, Quincy Riley, you know, one
Speaker 2: of your best players, maybe your best player, depending upon
Speaker 2: you know, NFL draft people, nflgms, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: He is listed as a game time decision, and I
Speaker 2: hope he plays, but I kind of feel like if
Speaker 2: he does play, it's hard to think he's gonna be
Speaker 2: fully healthy, and my gut tells me he won't play.
Speaker 2: I shouldn't even say that, and I already regret it
Speaker 2: after saying it, because I don't want anybody to think
Speaker 2: I've talked. I'm not talking. I've talked to anybody. I
Speaker 2: have no clue. Although his mother on Twitter did act
Speaker 2: like he was going to be okay, which is good,
Speaker 2: but you know what she's supposed to say, right, So
Speaker 2: it's clearly not super serious to where it's like season ending.
Speaker 2: But it just didn't seem like Jeff felt good about
Speaker 2: having him available. And maybe I'm overthinking it, maybe I'm
Speaker 2: worried because obviously you don't have him. That's an issue.
Speaker 2: So that's the biggest one. Jayden Thompson a receiver who
Speaker 2: again was expected to be the guy that stepped in
Speaker 2: in place of Colin Lacey. And he played, I mean
Speaker 2: he played well. I mean so far on the year.
Speaker 2: I mean, let me just pull up his numbers again.
Speaker 2: It's you know, two of your three games were against nobody's,
Speaker 2: but you know he had he's had six. He's got
Speaker 2: six catches on the season, averaging fourteen yards per reception.
Speaker 2: He's got two touchdowns. I mean he was a solid,
Speaker 2: serviceable receiver that you're now You're now you don't have
Speaker 2: him for the year, Colin Lacey. You know, they're still
Speaker 2: saying he's a game time. But I'm gonna look at
Speaker 2: it as if he plays, it's a miracle. I just
Speaker 2: think it. You know, I don't know, maybe they're doing
Speaker 2: the ultra gamesmanship stuff here and that he's good and
Speaker 2: they just don't want people to know. I don't know.
Speaker 2: But you know, without Jayden Thompson, I mean I can't
Speaker 2: sit here and tell you that I'm now worried Louisville
Speaker 2: can't win on Saturday up there in South Bend. But like,
Speaker 2: that's not ideal to lose a guy who was the
Speaker 2: starter because you lost the initial starter on first string
Speaker 2: in Colin Lacey. So yeah, not a not a great
Speaker 2: day when it comes to injuries, But that happens. That's
Speaker 2: part of football. It's part of football. All right, Let's
Speaker 2: get to a quick break. We got a lot to
Speaker 2: get into when it comes to the NFL. Who's good,
Speaker 2: Like I don't know, I know early on there's always
Speaker 2: results that that you know, look a lot different when
Speaker 2: you revisit him. A couple of weeks later. But I'm
Speaker 2: not sure we've ever seen it like this where the
Speaker 2: Raiders win in Baltimore against the Ravens only to then,
Speaker 2: you know, lose to the Panthers, who were I was
Speaker 2: quite sure they weren't gonna win a game all year.
Speaker 2: I mean, Sam Arnold is the best quarterback in the
Speaker 2: NFL right now statistically. What but I told you two
Speaker 2: years ago he'd be out of the league. You would
Speaker 2: not have argued. You would have said, yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2: So it's been crazy in the NFL. So again, we
Speaker 2: are Monday's, you know, the drill. It's a lot of
Speaker 2: reaction and we'll do exactly that the rest of the way.
Speaker 2: So stick with us right here. It's Coffee and Company.
Speaker 2: Feel about Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety. That's right,
Speaker 2: coffee and Company here on a Monday afternoon. Thank you
Speaker 2: guys for hanging out with us here on Sports Talk

Speaker 2: their family of members members in the Refreshment Awards Club,

Speaker 2: keep them in mind.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: So this is a text that came in just a
Speaker 2: moment ago. By the way, if you guys want to
Speaker 2: text the in you can FABO two six five three
Speaker 2: zero seven nineties the number if you would like to.
Speaker 2: If you'd like to text the Llenn Federal Credit Union
Speaker 2: text line. If you want to give us a call,
Speaker 2: you can do that too. Phone lines are open five
Speaker 2: oh two, five to seven one seventy nine hundred. Again
Speaker 2: five oh two, five to seven to one seventy nine hundred.
Speaker 2: The question that somebody asked a moment ago, I'm trying
Speaker 2: to kind of think here on the fly of an answer,
Speaker 2: and I think I think you're right. The question was,
Speaker 2: is it safe to say that Louisville is, without question
Speaker 2: the second biggest matchup this weekend on the college football schedule. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm looking here and I could be missing
Speaker 2: some games, but there's one game that is clearly better
Speaker 2: than any than all of them, and that's Alabama and Georgia.
Speaker 2: I mean that's going to be I mean, that's that's
Speaker 2: a big time game, right. But outside of that, I mean,
Speaker 2: you got some ranked matchups with Oklahoma State and Kansas State,
Speaker 2: you know locally here. I know Kentucky fans are eager
Speaker 2: to see what their team does against ole Miss down
Speaker 2: there in Oxford, and ole Miss is a top top
Speaker 2: six team. But I would say, when you've got number
Speaker 2: fifteen and number sixteen, yeah, I mean, to me, it
Speaker 2: feels like there is one game that really is it
Speaker 2: on its own planet, right, and that's this Alabama Georgia
Speaker 2: game that is set for seven thirty. And I am
Speaker 2: surprised that even though it's in Tuscaloosa, that George is
Speaker 2: only favored by a point and a half. I don't know,
Speaker 2: like has Kaitlin de boor DeBoer debordbor. I barely know her.
Speaker 2: Such a lame dad joke. I'm sorry, but he's getting
Speaker 2: the Saban like he's getting the Sabin bump about with
Speaker 2: some stuff here. And maybe maybe it's because George. Look,
Speaker 2: Georgia fell from number one to number two because they
Speaker 2: lost a close game to Kentucky. But like I still
Speaker 2: think Georgia is without questioning, one of the best, I mean,
Speaker 2: the best team in the country. And they've proven that,
Speaker 2: I think, despite that close call against and they've earned
Speaker 2: the benefit of that out for so long now that
Speaker 2: even though they did drop from number one to number two,
Speaker 2: and everybody was making the obvious observation that, wow, they
Speaker 2: shouldn't have been in that close of a game with
Speaker 2: that Kentucky team. But like, nobody's gonna try with a
Speaker 2: straight face to tell you that they're not as good
Speaker 2: as average, right So, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I the one thing I think Alabama's getting credit for
Speaker 3: is they went to Wisconsin the same week that Georgia
Speaker 3: barely beat Kentucky and beat him forty two to ten.
Speaker 2: Is Wisconsin good?
Speaker 3: They're probably lower than mid this year. Let me ask
Speaker 3: you this consin's not very good, do.
Speaker 2: You think And it's still early, right, he's probably coached
Speaker 2: with fifteen games. Do you think Wisconsin right now? Like
Speaker 2: if you had to ask him as of today, if
Speaker 2: they feel like they are getting what they thought they'd
Speaker 2: get this this early in from Luke Fickle, because.
Speaker 3: I kind of they're very disappointed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, I don't know if they're calling for his head,
Speaker 2: and if they are, they're stupid. But like, yeah, like
Speaker 2: I would have expected him to be somebody that would
Speaker 2: go there and instantly make them a little relevant. And
Speaker 2: they were bad last year and this year. I don't
Speaker 2: you know, they're not ranked, are they not.
Speaker 3: They're two and one and they've lost their starting quarterback.
Speaker 2: Uh oh, that's not good. So yeah, I answer your question.
Speaker 2: This is a big time matchup and as far as viewership,
Speaker 2: it will be. You've got number fifteen, number sixteen Louisville
Speaker 2: and Notre Dame. Just comparatively speaking, as we just laid out,
Speaker 2: it's a big matchup compared to others, but it will
Speaker 2: probably have less viewers than bum ass games that are
Speaker 2: going to be on in the middle of the day
Speaker 2: or even at nude on like ESPN or ESPN two
Speaker 2: or one of the other networks. Because this is a
Speaker 2: Peacock game. For those who don't know, you will have
Speaker 2: to watch this game on Peacock. And I feel like
Speaker 2: this is the first time for Louisville football because we've
Speaker 2: had games before where you have to fire up. I mean, heck,
Speaker 2: when they played when they played Jacksonville State, you could
Speaker 2: only watch that on stream. So yeah, it's I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess we're still at a point where people say
Speaker 2: the game is not even on TV. Well the computer. Yeah,
Speaker 2: But like I think those are people that probably still
Speaker 2: turn on Spectrum News one and see Lachlan McClain's handsome
Speaker 2: face every day and they still have like a box
Speaker 2: and that's to me, that's them, that's TV. And if
Speaker 2: it's not coming from that box that's underneath their you
Speaker 2: know box television and standard definition, then you know, then
Speaker 2: then it's it's streaming somewhere. It's on the computer. To
Speaker 2: get my laptop out, But like technically every game I
Speaker 2: watch is online. You know why, because I'm streaming from
Speaker 2: YouTube TV. I'm a chord cutter. I'm an og. I'm
Speaker 2: one of the earlies or the early. I mean, i've
Speaker 2: been I've been cord free. Is that still? I haven't
Speaker 2: heard anybody mention that in a while, But like I know,
Speaker 2: at the time, are you cord cutter?
Speaker 3: Wordless?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I cut the cord back in twenty seventeen and
Speaker 2: I've been I've been free ever since.
Speaker 1: That night.
Speaker 2: Oh I was yeah, and I was hesitanting. I thought
Speaker 2: to myself, no way, I got to rely on the internet.
Speaker 2: The Internet goes out and I got nothing, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: lose my mind. But you know, my internet works pretty good,
Speaker 2: and just the convenience of getting out my phone at
Speaker 2: any time and watching live TV being able to pause it.
Speaker 2: And it's gone up more than doubles since I first
Speaker 2: signed up, because I was early enough to where I
Speaker 2: was getting it for nineteen ninety nine a month for
Speaker 2: like three months, and then it bumped up to like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, thirty nine thirty nine nine in a month,
Speaker 2: so I got the introductory you know, discount for a
Speaker 2: few months I think it was, and now it is
Speaker 2: a lot more than that, but it's still worth it,
Speaker 2: and it's better than what I was paying for for
Speaker 2: direct TV. So I'm gonna watch on Peacock. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm sure everybody's gonna watch on Peacock, but you know
Speaker 2: they'll be it'll it'll still be viewed as appointment viewing
Speaker 2: for anybody who wants to watch it, which I assume
Speaker 2: is going to be Notedame fans and mobile fans, or
Speaker 2: just somebody who wants to keep up with this game.
Speaker 2: Maybe you bet on it, because if you're just wanting
Speaker 2: to consume a Saturday afternoon of college football on Saturday.
Speaker 2: Even if you're a cord cutter, you still have like
Speaker 2: a dashboard right like where you can you know, not
Speaker 2: really channel surf if you know what I mean, but
Speaker 2: like you can go from channel to channel. Peacock's only
Speaker 2: gonna have one game and it's it's not within your
Speaker 2: streaming app. Actually, I don't know, do you know? I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: You have Hulu Live.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, but you can download all my firestick for
Speaker 3: my TV. We have the Peacock app that we can
Speaker 3: he Okay, well, but does who does Peacock have a
Speaker 3: live No, Peacock is its own set. It's not a channel.
Speaker 3: It's its own separate app. But I know that.
Speaker 2: But Hulu has I have Hulu, but I don't have
Speaker 2: Hulu TV. You have Hulu TV, right right. I guess
Speaker 2: what I'm asking is, do you know if Peacock has
Speaker 2: what Hulu offers to where you can actually watch? I
Speaker 2: don't think they do. Yeah, so you know it'll be
Speaker 2: it'll be appointment viewing. But that's okay, you know. I
Speaker 2: don't bring that up to like, you know, to be negative.
Speaker 2: I'm just I'll do it. Throughout the week remind people
Speaker 2: because I know for a fact there'll be people that
Speaker 2: will where the hell is the game?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: I got a sign up?
Speaker 3: What what?
Speaker 2: And you know, I don't have any sympathy for you
Speaker 2: like this. We've been watching games on the internet for
Speaker 2: a long time where you really were getting at your
Speaker 2: dad's old laptop from his last job and figuring out
Speaker 2: what the hell in HDMI cord was and plugging it in.
Speaker 2: They used to call it ESPN three dot com, not
Speaker 2: watch ESPN. So we've been here before. But where this
Speaker 2: is rare is that you have to have a Peacock membership.
Speaker 2: So like there are people who have no memberships. They
Speaker 2: just turn on their TV and again they got Spectrum News,
Speaker 2: one Weather, on the ones. Lochlan McClain, he's first thing
Speaker 2: you see when you turn it on, and that's not
Speaker 2: a bad thing. That's probably what's keeping Spectrum in business.
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, Lachlan is a legend phenomenal guy.
Speaker 2: Have I gasked him up enough? Love love love Lachlan McLain.
Speaker 2: So like, not only do you have to go find
Speaker 2: it somewhere, you gotta pay for it. And that's where
Speaker 2: I feel like, people will either bitch and complain or
Speaker 2: they'll go somewhere and watch it, or maybe they'll do both.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but just be advised. Three thirty Peacock
Speaker 2: on the Cock. We are making our debut on the
Speaker 2: Cock on Saturday at three thirty, and I hope we
Speaker 2: move to one to zero on the Cock after what
Speaker 2: happened that.
Speaker 3: It's crazy because but it makes sense though, because Louisville
Speaker 3: doesn't have like and the a SEC, I should say,
Speaker 3: it doesn't have any conference affiliation with NBC or Peacock. So
Speaker 3: that's why you haven't seen them on. Yeah, it'll on
Speaker 3: those channel.
Speaker 2: You'll only be on Peacock whenever you have a game
Speaker 2: against Notre Dame and NBC decides they're not gonna air it,
Speaker 2: and there's even gonna be goods to lift up and
Speaker 2: prop up Peacock. This is what they need to do.
Speaker 2: They you know, not to say that you know Louisville. Hey,
Speaker 2: well really this is how we really get people to
Speaker 2: sign up. Notre Dames playing louis and everybody's gonna watch,
Speaker 2: but they'll be like, for example, there's a there were
Speaker 2: a NFL games last.
Speaker 3: Year, there was playoff games yeah, yeah, the way.
Speaker 2: You had to have and that's and that that is
Speaker 2: that's why you invest an insane amount of money to
Speaker 2: get the rights to have that exclusively on your network
Speaker 2: because you know, hey, people could complain it's a lot
Speaker 2: different than people used to watch games twenty years ago.
Speaker 2: But I find I don't know, like if it was
Speaker 2: a billion dollars, obviously wouldn't be able to buy Peacock
Speaker 2: and watch the game. But like something that's so such
Speaker 2: a big important first of all, it's part of what
Speaker 2: I do. It's like, you know, if I couldn't watch the game,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be qualified to do postgame show, right, I
Speaker 2: mean it's so so, but I just I don't know,
Speaker 2: like I'm gonna do what I what I'm gonna do,
Speaker 2: Meaning like they could tell me that I had to
Speaker 2: pay ninety nine dollars to watch this game, and I'd
Speaker 2: probably find a way to make that work. Like that
Speaker 2: wouldn't be ideal, That's not a realistic scenario. So the
Speaker 2: people that are complaining, I still feel like they're going
Speaker 2: to find a way to watch it because you know,
Speaker 2: it's it's part of what we do. We're fans, all right,
Speaker 2: quick break we'll come back on the other side. Keep
Speaker 2: this party rolling along. We got this is how you
Speaker 2: know you're you're getting somewhere. John. We got a text
Speaker 2: that wants to wants me to give you a hard
Speaker 2: time about your Hoosiers, and I'm not doing that. I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna do it, but I'll at least share what
Speaker 2: they had to say, because I'm loving this new life
Speaker 2: you've got as a Hoosier football fan, because Signette's got him,
Speaker 2: He's got them playing goodball. So don't go anywhere. It's
Speaker 2: coffee and company. We are fel about Thorton' right here
Speaker 2: on Sports Talk seven ninety. Love this song, Love this song.
Speaker 3: Good stuff.
Speaker 2: John, speaking of good stuff, Monday night football with two games.
Speaker 2: I wish the NFL did this every Monday. I'm assuming
Speaker 2: those that are in charge of the National Football League,
Speaker 2: you know, the most popular league in all of sports
Speaker 2: here in this country by a long shot. I'm sure
Speaker 2: there's a reason they only have one usually and this
Speaker 2: is a rare thing. Well, they'll do where they will
Speaker 2: do too, but I love it, so take advantage of it.
Speaker 2: Tonight on Underdog Fantasy, I'm just gonna tell you this

Speaker 2: me eight percent profit boost? So you know this is
Speaker 2: what I've got in mind right now. I'm going to
Speaker 2: go higher in receptions for Jamar Chase, higher than six
Speaker 2: and a half because I think he will bounce back.

Speaker 2: I'm going to go over higher. I should say it's
Speaker 2: not over, it's higher, higher than one and a half
Speaker 2: passing touchdowns for Joe Burrow. And then I'm also going
Speaker 2: to go when it comes to the rushing yards for
Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels. Of course, he's the quarterback, the rookie for
Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders. I'm going to go lower than fifty
Speaker 2: and a half. I'm going to trust that the Bengals
Speaker 2: will be able to contain him a little bit. So

Speaker 2: He wanted me to let you know it's all in
Speaker 2: fun and he's just having fun because he's a big
Speaker 2: fan of the company. Man who's not. But Indiana, let
Speaker 2: me pull it up here. So and I don't think
Speaker 2: they did anything wrong, but the Indiana football Twitter account
Speaker 2: puts something out yesterday or Saturday, and it's a picture
Speaker 2: of the one and only Kurt Signetti, who is given
Speaker 2: this Hoosier fan base a shot in the arm like
Speaker 2: they've never received before when it comes to football. And
Speaker 2: like none of them that I've talked to actually think
Speaker 2: that they're like, you know, nobody's had her claim they're
Speaker 2: gonna win the national championship. But they are four and
Speaker 2: oh for the first time ever, like not ever.
Speaker 3: Well, so it's the first time the head coach has
Speaker 3: ever been four and oh in his first year with
Speaker 3: the with the Hoosiers.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I thought that, never mind, that's not I mean,
Speaker 2: that still means as good as you can get four
Speaker 2: and oh. But I thought, like, this is the first
Speaker 2: time they've ever been four and oh, it would be wild.
Speaker 2: But then again, no offense. If Indiana was a school
Speaker 2: that had never started four and oh, Like, you can't
Speaker 2: say that if you knew if there was a trivia
Speaker 2: question of power five schools that have never had a
Speaker 2: four and oh start. It wouldn't be a shocker if
Speaker 2: they were on the list, right of one.
Speaker 3: To choose, maybe Kansas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the first head coach to start four and
Speaker 2: oh Indiana in program history. And then it's got a
Speaker 2: picture of Signetti and says four and oh and it
Speaker 2: says all business, which I got no problem with that.
Speaker 2: Like the honestly, I find it a little I think
Speaker 2: that's being self aware because by saying all business, I
Speaker 2: kind of take it John as if they're saying, yeah,
Speaker 2: we know we're supposed to win a lot of these games.
Speaker 2: We're taking care of businesses, like you're not claiming we're Like,
Speaker 2: So what our texter mentioned and he was just having fun,
Speaker 2: he said, Indiana can't say all business when they do.
Speaker 2: I think I think what he actually said is they
Speaker 2: operate with bad business, backing out of their deal with
Speaker 2: Louisville with just a year's notice. So that's not Signette's fault.
Speaker 2: In fact, who's the a d I keep one to say,
Speaker 2: when's that Glass guy? How long has he been?
Speaker 3: Glass has been gone for a long time. I don't
Speaker 3: know why he retired a few years ago. It was
Speaker 3: right around. It might have been after right after Woodson
Speaker 3: was his name, Todd Glass, bread Glass, spread Glass.
Speaker 2: So I don't know why I keep thinking he's still
Speaker 2: their athletic director. But whoever, whoever it was, it wasn't Signetti.
Speaker 2: So like I think he would have liked to have
Speaker 2: played Louisville and.
Speaker 3: He wouldn't have sha.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll never know what would have happened in
Speaker 2: that game. But like you know, Signetti, he's got it,
Speaker 2: he's got energy about him, as some people say the
Speaker 2: BDE that like it's it spreads baby.
Speaker 3: And can we get a little crazy though I know
Speaker 3: we might have joked about this recently, but like, what
Speaker 3: are the odds that Indian and Louisville meeting the college
Speaker 3: football playoff?
Speaker 2: We can say it right now with both teams undefeated
Speaker 2: on September twenty third, and looking at the rest of
Speaker 2: the schedules for both teams, and it's not as crazy
Speaker 2: as one would would. I mean, it's really not insane.
Speaker 2: It's not probable, highly doubt it, don't think it's gonna happen,
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean from Louisville standpoint, there's no doubt.
Speaker 2: Louiell in my opinion, has a chance to probably get
Speaker 2: have one loss on the year, slip up and lose
Speaker 2: to somebody and still potentially be at least in the
Speaker 2: mix for one of those at large spots. I think
Speaker 2: they lose to Notre Dame, it's still gonna be really,
Speaker 2: really tough. But either way, like, there's nobody on their
Speaker 2: schedule that like I look at now and think, well,
Speaker 2: they just can't beat them. And if they and if
Speaker 2: it is Miami, well you know, maybe Miami's legit and
Speaker 2: that doesn't look at as a bad loss, and maybe
Speaker 2: you get to play them again in Charlotte in the
Speaker 2: AEC championship game. So yeah, like Louisville, I'm not here
Speaker 2: to tell you that they're gonna be in the playoff.
Speaker 2: But like when you look at all the national folks
Speaker 2: that are putting together like their bracketology essentially, which I
Speaker 2: think is kind of cool. You know, some of them
Speaker 2: are mentioning Louisville is like a first full route or
Speaker 2: at least you know somebody that's that's sniffing close to it.
Speaker 2: With Indiana, I've not seen that, But again, who on
Speaker 2: their schedule would you say, like, is is a real concern?
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously the Ohio State is.
Speaker 3: The easy one, and then Michigan they were able to
Speaker 3: take care of USC, which which is odd because then
Speaker 3: them winning that game is crazy. They threw the least
Speaker 3: amounting pass amount of passing yards. Who is this Michigan Okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: against USC since nineteen eighty seven something like that. For
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's for any FBS team or for
Speaker 3: like a power team or whatever, but that's turning the
Speaker 3: turning back the clock several decades.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I I'll be honest with you, that was the
Speaker 2: first time where it really like it took me a
Speaker 2: day later to realize what was a conference game?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so weird.
Speaker 2: I don't know why, Like I don't know why that
Speaker 2: one was the one.
Speaker 3: Because it's so early in the season too. But Indiana
Speaker 3: and UCLA that really didn't feel like a conference But like.
Speaker 2: You know, Tennessee and Oklahoma, that was weird that that
Speaker 2: was an SEC game, right, Like I don't know, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Mean just at Stanford and Syracuse, Florida State in California.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's it's it's crazy. But right now, I mean,
Speaker 2: obviously you all have yet to really be tested, and
Speaker 2: that's not your fault. I would say Maryland is easily
Speaker 2: going to be the biggest test of this joint and
Speaker 2: if you lose, it really depends on how it looks,
Speaker 2: right because like if it's a competitive loss, you're still
Speaker 2: gonna be upset, But like you know, doesn't.
Speaker 3: Mean you take care of business here. That's when you
Speaker 3: can kind of start maybe raising your eyebrows a little bit.
Speaker 2: You need two more wins to match what people said
Speaker 2: a month ago would be viewed as a really good
Speaker 2: start for Signetti. Yeah, so like I don't have any issue,
Speaker 2: not that I would, but like Indiana fan should feel
Speaker 2: really good about where they are. And you know, i'd say,
Speaker 2: right now, Michigan Ohio State are the two schools that
Speaker 2: you would say, like, yeah, those are probably gonna be
Speaker 2: really really, really really tough games. All right, quick break
