A lot to react to from the weekend, 17 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.479 but man, I'm dragging a little bit today. Very busy weekend, 18 00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:07.640 great weekend, overall heavy weekend. Really, I mean just when 19 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.959 I say heavy, Friday was just a day from hell 20 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.519 with my vehicle, which we talked about Saturday. Just busy, busy, busy. 21 00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:16.560 I mean I was out at a four and five 22 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.480 year old flag football game in the morning, then straight 23 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.799 to tailgating, then inside and like a lot of you 24 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.439 not sure I've ever swept that much in my life. 25 00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:28.159 And I'm not blaming any meteorologists here, because I mean 26 00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.239 everybody said it was supposed to be hot, but like 27 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:35.040 I didn't look at the temperature forecast like ahead of 28 00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:37.040 time or even when I would check my phone and 29 00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.599 be like, damn, is it the hottest day in the 30 00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.439 history of the world today, Like nothing would tell me 31 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.040 it was hot, but nothing would tell me that, like 32 00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:46.599 this is next level, but man, it felt like it. 33 00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:48.560 I don't know what it was. Probably a mixture of 34 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.680 just very hot temperature and disgusting humidity, but man was 35 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.599 it was sweaty. And then yesterday, well nobody probably cares 36 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.159 about this, but yesterday was just a busy day we honored. Well, 37 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.239 it was my nephew's birthday who passed away a couple 38 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:05.159 of years ago, and just a big family day and 39 00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.079 that's just there's I don't know, I feel like today's 40 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.120 one of those days where I need a day to 41 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.439 recover from the weekend. But I used to say that, 42 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:14.479 and it was just about you know, like being a 43 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.840 twenty something year old that would just drink too much 44 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.639 and be an idiot. Now it's just because you know, life, 45 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:21.879 you know, sometimes you just need, you know, a day 46 00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:25.039 to reset because life is just you know, not bad, 47 00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:28.960 just you know heavy. But I can already tell within 48 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:30.879 the first two minutes of the show today this is 49 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:31.280 what I needed. 50 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:32.080 It's a pick me up. 51 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:34.319 That's what this show does to me, and I hope 52 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:36.280 it does the same for you guys as well. So 53 00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.639 a lot to get into. And I mentioned just how 54 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.840 hot it was on Saturday. I mean, I can't imagine 55 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.560 if you were at the Music Festival Bourbon and beyond. 56 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:48.960 I mean, what would you say? And again, I'm such 57 00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:52.639 a I'm so ignorant to how this works, because I mean, 58 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:54.639 I feel like I had a hell of an experience 59 00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:56.840 when you and I John went to Louder than Life 60 00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:59.960 last year. We were probably there thirty minutes, maybe. 61 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:01.439 Probably about an hour actually. 62 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:02.759 Yeah, okay, because it was before the show, was it 63 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:04.879 not we did we leave there and come and do 64 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:05.280 the show. 65 00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.199 Yes, it was like one or two o'clock in the afternoon. 66 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.319 So like, I wasn't hear that long when it was us. 67 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:12.439 But yet I feel like, man, that was it was 68 00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.199 a lot. Now, we did a lot of moving, a 69 00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:15.840 lot of talking, so we got what we needed and 70 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.560 it was a great experience. But my point is, if 71 00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.000 you were like, how, what's the average amount of time? 72 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.639 You would think that somebody who has an all day 73 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.879 pass would be there? Because there are some that are 74 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:27.960 literally going to be there from start to finish, like 75 00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:28.719 those that camp out. 76 00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:30.759 It's me, not the campers, but I'm usually there from 77 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:33.360 opening of the gates to the end of the show. 78 00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:36.159 How I mean, I wouldn't imagine that that's that rare. 79 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:38.719 No, especially if you're going for just a day or 80 00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:41.080 two like myself. Now, if you're somebody who's there and 81 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.639 you're out of town and you've got weekend passes, you 82 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.360 have the ability to go in and out pretty much 83 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:48.759 as you please. So there's no telling what those people do. 84 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.639 Yeah, I mean, the reason I ask is because I mean, 85 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.400 it was miserable as far as just the heat. It 86 00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:57.120 was nice that I was doing things I enjoy, like 87 00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.560 watching my son's football team play tailgating and then going 88 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.599 into the game for the first half. But like my 89 00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:06.599 point is, I really wasn't outside nearly as long as 90 00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.400 I would imagine the majority of the people who were 91 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.199 at that event, and they're I mean, the best way 92 00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:14.879 I could describe it. And if you were out there 93 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.040 in the heat, then you know, like no matter what, 94 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.680 if you were just outside, you were just going to 95 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:23.240 continuously drip sweat. And I know some people sweat differently, 96 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.160 like I'm I'm probably like a mid level sweater. I'm 97 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:27.800 not somebody who just you know, is all the time 98 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.240 just dripping sweat. But like, I don't care if you're 99 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.480 somebody who rarely sweats. You were sweating your ass off 100 00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:35.959 on Saturday if you were outside, and it just felt 101 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:37.680 like one of the I mean I heard people talking 102 00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:40.759 about it being one of the hottest days ever at 103 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.319 at Cardinal Stadium for a Louisville game, and I mean 104 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.879 I would believe that just because I was there, But 105 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.040 again the numbers would surprise me. Like it wasn't like 106 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.839 it was over one hundred degrees. It was like ninety one. 107 00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:54.279 Ninety two I think was the high. But I think 108 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:55.759 it was a reminder for us, and we talked about 109 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.160 it all the time. John. It's that damn humidity that's 110 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.639 what makes it just so unbearable at times. 111 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.600 But as of yesterday, we are officially into the season 112 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:05.519 of fall. So I guess that means it's all downhill 113 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:06.800 from here, hopefully good. 114 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:11.639 Yeah, So there were a burban and beyond. Two hundred 115 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:15.120 and ten thousand people was the total attendance for the 116 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.560 four day festival. According to the event, sixty thousand of 117 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.079 those people were there on Saturday, So sixty k alone 118 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:26.120 on Saturday. And I'm just curious how many of those 119 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.439 sixty thousand, I wonder, were there like from start to finish, 120 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.920 because shout out to you here, I am complaining about 121 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:33.319 how the heat was just a pain in the rear 122 00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:34.959 in But you know, I was at a football game 123 00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:36.199 for about an hour and a half in the morning 124 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.040 when it really hadn't got that hot yet. Although it 125 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:39.360 was hot early, I knew it was going to be 126 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.079 a brutal day. And then you know, I get in 127 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.160 the car, ac run home, grab our cooler, drop my 128 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.240 daughter off, and then myself and my wife and Moose 129 00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:50.480 went to the game. We tailgated. We were outside for 130 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.160 probably I would say, I don't know, an hour and 131 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.000 a half hour and forty five tailgating, and then we 132 00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:58.560 went into the game and you know, not indoors, we 133 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.000 weren't in any kind of a suite by the way 134 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.240 or anything like that. And then we left it half 135 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:03.639 time because I had to get situated for the post 136 00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:05.600 gum show. So it was miserable for me. But shout 137 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:06.959 out to you if you were at Bourbon and Beyond 138 00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:09.639 all Day, because like, props to you for living. I 139 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:11.480 feel like I would have died. I'm not built like 140 00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.959 you people who do the all day music festival. Shout 141 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:15.879 out to those guys because like that, I mean, I 142 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:16.800 hope you were hydrating. 143 00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.600 I'm just glad that Louder than Life is expecting a 144 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.199 lot lower temperatures. I mean not significantly like the sixties 145 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:24.480 or something like that, but I believe low eighties. But 146 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:26.959 there is some chances for rain this weekend, so yeah, 147 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:27.600 I saw that there. 148 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:32.360 Hopefully that goes away because I feel like like like 149 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:34.560 they kind of adopted me into that crew, the Louder 150 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:38.600 than Life rock metal, you know, like cosplay kind of thing, 151 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:40.759 like that's what that's what we experienced, and I didn't 152 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.560 know what to expect, and there's a lot to look at. 153 00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:44.279 I mean, I could have I could have stayed it 154 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.399 Louder than Life last year from the day that opened 155 00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:49.839 the gate until the Sunday when they closed it just 156 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:51.720 because there's so much to see. But they were all 157 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:53.759 so kind, they were so nice. We talked about that, 158 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:57.360 just not that long ago. So anyways, it was it 159 00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:02.759 was a scorcher, and you know, I hope to never 160 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:04.399 the rest of the way have a game where it's 161 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:06.720 and I'm yeah, you mentioned the falls here. It's getting 162 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.360 to the end of September, so I would imagine that 163 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.600 that's probably the last super hot football game we're gonna 164 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.199 have at Cardinal Stadium. But again, it is Coffee and Company. 165 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:16.560 We are feel about Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety. 166 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.879 Appreciate you guys hanging out with us here today. I 167 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:23.399 am still a blessed Nana as of right now, and 168 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:25.480 I still have not heard a single thing since we 169 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:27.600 started the show Friday, and I shared the story about 170 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:29.240 what happened in my car, and I'm not going to 171 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:32.480 get back into it right now, but the first text 172 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.800 I saw was somebody asking for an update about my vehicle. 173 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:38.680 And I am still a blessed Nana, thankfully, but I 174 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:42.079 have I have not had any like The dealership has 175 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:43.720 been cool as hell. Shout out to them. I don't 176 00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:45.040 know if I'm allowed to talk about them, but I'm 177 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.480 gonna make sure I find a way to get approval 178 00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:49.839 and maybe I can start talking about the dealership on 179 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:52.920 this show, and you know, in a consistent way, because 180 00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:56.399 they've been great and nobody from AutoZone has reached out. 181 00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.399 I've left two messages talk to one person of like corporate, 182 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.560 and they all took my info and like not nothing, 183 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:06.519 not nothing. So it stressed me out, John, I don't 184 00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:08.639 know if you can tell, but like I'm very I'm 185 00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:10.800 starting to get worried that I may like not have 186 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:16.600 a vehicle for a long time. And even if in fact, 187 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:19.360 like AutoZone did, like and they already have, like they've 188 00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:23.639 already admitted theirs a it's their fault by sending it 189 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.920 to the dealership and it being built to them to fix, right, 190 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.240 Like that's you can't dispute that you weren't fault here. 191 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:31.519 But like they got lawyers, Like if I tried to say, look, 192 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:33.480 my car's ruined, you need to get me a new car, 193 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:35.919 like you know how even if I won and I 194 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:38.399 came out on the end where they had to in 195 00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:40.639 fact do exactly that, you know, long that probably take 196 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:42.360 in the fact that they haven't offered to get me 197 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.440 like a rental or anything like that. They're lucky. I'm 198 00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.799 a blessed nana because if not, then I'd be I mean, 199 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:48.559 I'd be raising hell, which I probably should be. That's 200 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.440 what's got me so, you know, worked up about it. 201 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:51.840 But we'll get to the car later. But I want 202 00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:54.360 to say this. Have you ever driven a car that 203 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:57.919 is pushed to start? I have, but it was like, 204 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:00.720 not my car. Yeah, well so I my car's not 205 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.759 and my cars are twenty nineteen, like it's new. But 206 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:06.960 obviously there's new cars made every year, so I don't 207 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:09.799 have push to start. And I keep getting out of 208 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:13.279 the vehicle with it running and shutting the door and 209 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.519 walking away, and then people are like, uh, hey, your 210 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.799 car's running. So happened this morning when I went to 211 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:21.440 the doctor with my daughter. Happened on Friday when I 212 00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:23.879 first started driving it. So I gotta I guess eventually 213 00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:25.679 you get used to it. But I've never I've never 214 00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:28.519 driven a vehicle, you know, other than maybe a rental 215 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:30.320 for a day or two that is a push to start, 216 00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:33.679 and it's convenient, but like routine for me, is always 217 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:35.399 like if I've got my if I've got the key 218 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.399 in my pocket, then we're good because I'm you know, 219 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.200 but that's not the case to keeping me in your pocket. 220 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.679 You can walk away. So anyways, let's talk about what 221 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.320 happened on Saturday. And trust me, there's a lot to 222 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:48.559 get into with Louisville football overall, and this week it's 223 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:50.919 a huge week. You've got Notre Dame a top fifteen 224 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:53.559 I guess top sixteen matchup. You're already in a really 225 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:56.200 good spot as it stands right now, and a win 226 00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.720 here would be huge. I don't care what it would 227 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:03.919 mean about Notre and their season essentially kind of being 228 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:05.919 because again Louisvill is gonna be the last ranked team 229 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:09.000 that they're going to play at home, and they I mean, 230 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:10.879 if Louisville is even close to the team that a 231 00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:13.759 lot of people think they are, Notre Dame, this is 232 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:15.720 huge for them, Like you're gonna get their best game. 233 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.000 And I got to tell you, and I don't. I 234 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:21.960 don't think louisill was great on Saturday. I'm well aware 235 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.759 Notre Dame could win. I know that their favorites, but 236 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:27.159 this is not even coming from like a cocky standpoint. 237 00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:29.279 It's just the truth. I'm not worried about Notre Dame. 238 00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:30.960 They can beat Louis well again, anybody can if little 239 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.120 didn't come to play well, But I'm not worried about 240 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.039 Marcus Freeman. I don't think he's that good of a coach. 241 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:39.000 And their win at Texas A and m you know, 242 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:42.039 to me, it's whatever they lost to Northern Illinois, who, 243 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:43.960 by the way, I don't know if anybody paid attention 244 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:45.759 to what happened in the MAC. You probably didn't because 245 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.399 why would you. But Northern Illinois, after beating Notre Dame, 246 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:50.639 then lost to Buffalo, who was picked to finish tenth 247 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:55.360 out of twelve in that league. I mean they won't 248 00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:59.919 their quarterback Riley Leonard. That's his name, right, is it? Okay? 249 00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.039 Was he at Duke? Yes, okay, I get him confused, man, 250 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:06.200 But anyways, like he's he's not really looked good for them, 251 00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:08.600 and he's been injured. I mean he has one passing 252 00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:11.519 touchdown on the season and two interceptions. You know, they 253 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:14.240 only put up twenty eight points against Miami Ohio. Again, 254 00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:16.440 they lost to Northern Olinois on their home field. So 255 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.519 this isn't to say like, Hey, Louisville's going to go 256 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.279 in there and beat their ass. I just feel like 257 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.759 Louisville is capable of playing well and winning and I'm 258 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:24.639 not gonna beat Like it's not to me. This isn't 259 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:27.080 You're going up to South Bend to pull off the unthinkable. 260 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:30.200 You're a higher ranked team than them, so I'm excited 261 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.080 about that. But anyways, let's get to some quick quick 262 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.399 hits here on Saturday's game. Like, I know, we do 263 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.960 a postgame show. I think that's a different audience for 264 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:40.759 the most part, and usually when the game just ends, 265 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:42.240 you know, it's hard for me to have you know, 266 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:43.600 I usually have an idea of where I want to 267 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:44.919 go as far as how I want to start the show, 268 00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:46.799 which direction I want to go in, as far as 269 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:49.639 initial takeaways. Then we hear from Coach Brown, we hear 270 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:51.440 from callers, and we kind of go from there. So 271 00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:53.440 you know, I love the postgame show and it's a 272 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:54.639 lot of fun and I thank all of you who 273 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.000 tune in. But usually by Monday, I've got some belated thoughts, 274 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:03.919 as they say, and here they are. I'm kind of 275 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:06.879 afraid to say it, John, but like I don't think 276 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:10.159 they played very well, but they also didn't play like terrible. 277 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:13.039 Like put it this way, it was not a clean game, 278 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.120 and some teams can go ten eleven wins and not 279 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.440 really be a clean football team. Right. You grind it out, 280 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:22.759 you went ugly. You know, you just happen to make 281 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:24.840 the right plays at the right time that dictate who 282 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:27.399 wins and who loses. So I want to give Georgia 283 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:29.240 text him credit because I still think they're good. I 284 00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:31.519 was consistent last week. I think they've got a good 285 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:33.600 football team. I think they've got a good coach. And 286 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:36.200 clearly he must be a real fan favorite of the 287 00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:39.279 a referee favorite, because the way he was granted that 288 00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.360 time out in the third quart, I mean, that was 289 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:43.799 insane like that and if that would have been like 290 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.360 the game changing play, I mean, again, it all worked 291 00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:50.840 out for Louisville, But like that was I yelled and 292 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:53.440 screamed and cursed in a way that like, I haven't 293 00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:55.799 watching Louisville sports in a long long time. I was 294 00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:58.360 lifeless with basketball, and then last year it was just 295 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:02.799 such a honeymoon season. But I was angry, to my 296 00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:05.120 surprise as far as how angry I was when the 297 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:08.879 refs gave Brent Key that time out after the play, 298 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:11.559 after the ball was already snapped. But it also made 299 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:14.240 me feel alive John like it was like, oh, this 300 00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:17.200 is It was a renewed type of energy exactly. And 301 00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:19.360 that's why I like last week I kept saying, I 302 00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:21.159 kind of feel like the season hasn't started yet. I 303 00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:23.840 feel like this opener against Georgia Tech really is the opener, 304 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:26.120 and that that moment where I, for the first time 305 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:29.200 just completely lost my mind probably didn't look good again. 306 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:32.080 My wife was upset at me. I mean not really, 307 00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:34.480 but like you know, put it this way, Moose heard 308 00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:36.200 some words he's never heard before. That's what it comes 309 00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:38.039 down to, and that's not a good look. And he's 310 00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:43.159 so receptive, Like if he ends up cursing, it's gonna 311 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.200 either be because he's around people we don't know that 312 00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:47.519 are dropping f bombs and whatnot, or it's gonna be 313 00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:49.200 his dad's fault. Like there's no way around that. So 314 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:50.759 I just got to be mindful of it. But anyways, 315 00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:54.519 I respect Georgia Tech, I really do, and teams don't 316 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:56.679 play clean against them, even when they beat him like 317 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:59.960 Georgia was. Georgia beat him by one score. Last year, 318 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:04.480 they never lost consecutive games, and they still haven't under 319 00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:05.759 Brent Key. So I'm not here to tell you that 320 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:09.679 beating Georgia Tech means that Louisville is legitimately a top 321 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:11.799 fifteen team. I mean they are right now based off 322 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:14.799 the rankings. But like that wasn't like, Okay, now we 323 00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:17.399 know this team is legitimate, Lealie. I still think they 324 00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:21.639 can be. I haven't really seen anything that tells me, oh, 325 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:23.879 maybe we don't have as good of a team as 326 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:27.200 we thought we had. Haven't seen that yet. Now I 327 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:29.559 don't like where we are from an injury standpoint, which 328 00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:31.559 I'll talk about here in just a moment. But you know, 329 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:34.960 I give Georgia Tech credit, and I look when Louisville 330 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.799 was able to take advantage of a really stupid decision 331 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:42.360 by Haines King where he threw that ball. Don't know 332 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:43.759 what the hell he was thinking. He went full will 333 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:47.080 Levice there in the first quarter. And you know, credit 334 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:49.639 to Ramonte Pierre and the rest of the defense being 335 00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:51.679 ready and knowing that that was a live ball and 336 00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:55.879 they hopped on it scored. That's a defensive touchdown. So 337 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:57.799 like some would say, that's luck. But no, like, if 338 00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:00.559 you stay locked in, you're a good football team, all coached, 339 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:04.840 you're well prepared, you're disciplined. You make teams pay for 340 00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:07.240 doing dumb ass stuff. And that's exactly what you did 341 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:12.519 with Haynes King. Those aren't Those aren't plays that happen 342 00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:15.360 very often in games, right, pretty rare. You know what 343 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.639 else is rare? A blocked field goal for a touchdown, 344 00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:22.120 But we got that one too. That's just you know, 345 00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:25.200 staying locked in and making a big play that can 346 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:28.919 flip a game. It's huge, even that your Corey Brooks 347 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.480 touchdown where he got caught up, they called pass interference 348 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:34.559 and then he just spun around ball right where it 349 00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:36.840 needs to be. That's a score. I mean, that's a 350 00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:39.279 talented player making a big time play. So I don't 351 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:40.759 know if you'd call that luck. That's just having a 352 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:45.000 dude that is better than their dude. But it speaks 353 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:47.120 to this team. You know, someone say those are flukey 354 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:49.639 type things and you can't bank on those things happening 355 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.360 night in and night out. But if you stay locked 356 00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.159 in and you you know, you play, you put yourself 357 00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:57.759 in that situation. You just make you know, you make 358 00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:00.840 people pay and adversity had kicked in. I mean, I 359 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.960 think they knew that Brent Key was handed a timeout 360 00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:05.399 that you know, I don't want, I don't want to 361 00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:07.559 present it as if Louisville's being screwed by the reps. 362 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:09.279 But there were a couple of things that, like, even 363 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:10.919 though the players are told to lock in and not 364 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:13.559 worry about it and just hey, next play, stay focused, 365 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:16.960 all that stuff you hear from coaches, like they're humans, 366 00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:18.679 they know that they just got screwed by a couple 367 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:20.919 of calls, and yet they still were locked in and 368 00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:24.600 made made big plays. So, you know, I think because 369 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:26.320 of how some of those scores happen. You look at 370 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.480 the box score and you wonder how Louisville won, and 371 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.960 it's because again the specific types of scores. They got, 372 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:37.120 a special team's touchdown and a defensive touchdown. Georgia Tech 373 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:39.120 had more total yards than Louisville did, four ten to 374 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:41.840 three twenty six. Neither team could run the ball, and 375 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.200 that is a little concerning for me. I mean, you've 376 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:48.600 got Maurice Turner who is out doesn't sound I don't, 377 00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:52.399 I don't. I think Jeff word for Words said not 378 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:57.600 optimistic whenever he was talking about Maurice. So you know, 379 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:02.519 Cheney played but didn't didn't do a whole lot. And 380 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.880 you know, I think Louisville's running game was, you know, 381 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:11.039 was supposed to be, you know, best case scenario for 382 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:13.119 your running backs this year, I think was that you 383 00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:15.440 clearly don't have a Jawar Jordan and you don't have 384 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:20.200 an Isaac Garrindo, but you've got a stable of really 385 00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:23.119 solid running backs and a young freshman who might eventually 386 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:25.400 be a superstar, and that should be good enough. Well, 387 00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:27.119 now you've got Donald Cheney, who it sounds like it's 388 00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:29.680 still not one hundred percent, and Maurice Turner's out. So 389 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:32.359 the run game, you know, we knew it was not 390 00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:33.799 going to be what it was last year, and my 391 00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:35.319 whole thought was that it didn't need to be. And 392 00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:37.640 sure enough, when the run game wasn't working, they were 393 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:40.359 able to air it out. I mean, Tyler Shuck, you know, 394 00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:43.720 I think we learned about him in that game. Thirteen 395 00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:46.160 and nineteen, tw hundred and sixty nine yards, two touchdowns. 396 00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:49.200 I mean, not perfect by any means, but like I 397 00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:51.240 think we got ourselves a pretty good quarterback that I 398 00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:57.160 feel confident in. It was surprising usually Jeff. Usually with Jeff, 399 00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:01.559 I feel like if the running game isn't like I 400 00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:05.240 just assume that if there's any sign that the running 401 00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:07.839
