00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:10.800
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick coffee.

3
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:27.239
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get it started. It is the five

4
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:30.519
<v Speaker 2>o'clock hour here on a Wednesday afternoon, Coffee and company,

5
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.039
<v Speaker 2>fueled by Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety need coffee.

6
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:36.200
<v Speaker 2>That's me Austin Montgomery alongside today. We got an hour

7
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:37.960
<v Speaker 2>left and we're gonna make the most of it. We've

8
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:40.759
<v Speaker 2>had some fun so far, at least I have. Hopefully

9
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:42.840
<v Speaker 2>you have as well. If not, you know, we'll continue

10
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:44.759
<v Speaker 2>to work on it. And we've got an hour to do.

11
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.000
<v Speaker 2>So let's stop right And we started off talking about

12
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:52.320
<v Speaker 2>the college football playoff. You know it's it should be awesome.

13
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I would hope that the games are really

14
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:56.320
<v Speaker 2>competitive and entertaining. I think you don't really have to.

15
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know. I'm somebody that does wager

16
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.079
<v Speaker 2>on a lot of games, and that adds an element

17
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 2>of I mean excitement, and certainly you can win and

18
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:09.400
<v Speaker 2>there's a great joy there. You know, if you watch

19
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 2>and don't bet, and you don't really care, but you

20
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.680
<v Speaker 2>just enjoy watching the product, just love watching ball. Then

21
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you're gonna enjoy yourself. But I'm just trying

22
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 2>to think of a scenario with a twelve team playoff.

23
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.439
<v Speaker 2>It's not something where we think afterwards like, wow, that

24
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 2>was awesome. We should have done this a long time ago,

25
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.840
<v Speaker 2>expanding the playoff and making it, you know, something like this.

26
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:28.840
<v Speaker 2>And I think it's set up well to where you

27
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:31.319
<v Speaker 2>didn't leave anybody out that can claim that they were

28
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:33.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean they are. They're gonna claim that they were

29
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 2>treated unfairly, like Alabama, Ole, Miss South Carolina, Miami. Maybe

30
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:38.680
<v Speaker 2>they're doing that, but at the end of the day,

31
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:39.959
<v Speaker 2>they got to look at the mirror as far as

32
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:41.319
<v Speaker 2>why they didn't get in, and any of the teams

33
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:43.560
<v Speaker 2>that didn't get in I don't believe would have been

34
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:45.719
<v Speaker 2>able to win a national championship. And we'll never know.

35
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:48.799
<v Speaker 2>But you've got the teams that think that belong there

36
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.599
<v Speaker 2>and some really good matchups and I don't know who

37
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.439
<v Speaker 2>the who the best team is. I mean Oregon US,

38
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:57.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean certainly deserves to be able to, you know,

39
00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:59.200
<v Speaker 2>have that top seed. They didn't lose a game and

40
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.640
<v Speaker 2>they're in the Big Ten, and you know, they're really

41
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.439
<v Speaker 2>building some special with Dan Lanning. But you know, overall,

42
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:07.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I wouldn't be shocked if they if they

43
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.840
<v Speaker 2>lose in the in their first game, just because you know,

44
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:13.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't you know, despite being unbeaten, I think they're

45
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.759
<v Speaker 2>they're beatable. I mean, nobody's done it yet. But like

46
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 2>right now, if you look at the favorite right now

47
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.479
<v Speaker 2>to win the National Championship is in these I'm gonna

48
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.680
<v Speaker 2>see if these Have you looked at the odds here

49
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:29.360
<v Speaker 2>for the title winner Austin And some of this, by

50
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.000
<v Speaker 2>the way, is based off just the draw too, Like

51
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:32.360
<v Speaker 2>it's not just who they think is best. They look

52
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 2>at the path now because you've got you know, twelve teams.

53
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.199
<v Speaker 2>But have you seen who the favorites are?

54
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:40.080
<v Speaker 3>I think when it first came out, it's Georgia, right.

55
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.919
<v Speaker 2>No, so right now it is Georgia. Might might have been,

56
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>but you gotta keep in mind they found out shortly

57
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.560
<v Speaker 2>after the bracket was was was updated or it was unveiled,

58
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:50.520
<v Speaker 2>and they don't have Carson Beck, which actually don't think

59
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:51.919
<v Speaker 2>that that's that big of an issue for them, but

60
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.840
<v Speaker 2>they've now dropped down. But plus three fifty is Oregon,

61
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:56.960
<v Speaker 2>who's the favorite. Then after that it's plus three sixty

62
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.759
<v Speaker 2>with Texas, plus five hundred with Ohio State and plus

63
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:04.199
<v Speaker 2>five hundred with Georgia and then from there, I mean,

64
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.800
<v Speaker 2>the biggest long shot is Boise State and Clemson and

65
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Arizona State all at plus six thousand, SMU plus four thousand,

66
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>and at Indiana plus four thousand. I don't know, like

67
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.360
<v Speaker 2>as far as like what I think would could happen,

68
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:20.599
<v Speaker 2>and yet there'd be some real juice there to make

69
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.800
<v Speaker 2>some money. I really don't know who I would go with. Maybe,

70
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:27.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean I was gonna say Indiana, but that would

71
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 2>just be like a guess because they've only played one

72
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.560
<v Speaker 2>game against a team, and that doesn't mean they're not good,

73
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Like they may get to the end of the thing

74
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:36.840
<v Speaker 2>and be in the championship game, because there's not enough data,

75
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.120
<v Speaker 2>Like there's nothing that says they're not good. It's just

76
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:41.599
<v Speaker 2>impossible to know how good they are. Whenever the teams

77
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.280
<v Speaker 2>that they beat we all know kind of aren't great.

78
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.240
<v Speaker 2>That's not their fault. And I'm pulling for Indiana. We

79
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.000
<v Speaker 2>talked about that earlier. Me and Austin are riding with

80
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 2>our man company, man John, because we want to see

81
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 2>as Hoosiers keep dancing here in this tournament, but it

82
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:55.520
<v Speaker 2>would be such a risk. I don't know, I don't

83
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:57.039
<v Speaker 2>know what I would do, like I would I mean,

84
00:03:57.800 --> 00:03:59.319
<v Speaker 2>I kind of think I would go plus twenty five

85
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.719
<v Speaker 2>hundred Tennessee. I mean, I think they're I don't think

86
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.960
<v Speaker 2>that they are likely to win it by any means,

87
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:09.400
<v Speaker 2>but it plus twenty five hundred, Like, you know, if

88
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.479
<v Speaker 2>they get past Ohio State, I feel like I could

89
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:14.960
<v Speaker 2>claim that they can they can beat anybody. Now, how

90
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 2>State may be a little bit you know, deflated still

91
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:19.759
<v Speaker 2>from what happened to them in their rivalry game. And

92
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.680
<v Speaker 2>I think Ryan Day, the fact that Ryan Day it's

93
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.120
<v Speaker 2>kind of coaching for his job here seemingly it's crazy.

94
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 1>Now.

95
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.199
<v Speaker 2>I know the athletic director has said that regardless of

96
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:32.480
<v Speaker 2>what happens, but I think, you you know, it's just

97
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.240
<v Speaker 2>different Ohio State man like they don't like. And what

98
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 2>really sucked for Ryan Day is that his results overall

99
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.879
<v Speaker 2>are still really good. They're still contending for national championships.

100
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.000
<v Speaker 2>They're losing to the rival, and they lost to him

101
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.040
<v Speaker 2>this year in a year where they really had no

102
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.800
<v Speaker 2>business losing to their rival. But an added element to

103
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Ryan Day's situation is that it's out there that last

104
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.319
<v Speaker 2>year you took a step back and that wasn't acceptable.

105
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:00.800
<v Speaker 2>So what are we going to do. Let's throw all

106
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 2>the money at it, fixing it. Go hire Chip Kelly

107
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:06.439
<v Speaker 2>to call the offense. Go get the best class in

108
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:08.560
<v Speaker 2>the portal. As far as money like to pay the

109
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.120
<v Speaker 2>most probably when it comes to the portal. And of

110
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.000
<v Speaker 2>course you're paying Ryan Day a ton of money too,

111
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.439
<v Speaker 2>so that that's an added element to where people aren't

112
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.959
<v Speaker 2>saying that Ryan Day's a bump. Maybe they think that,

113
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.279
<v Speaker 2>and I don't think he's built for that job, to

114
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:23.920
<v Speaker 2>be honest with you, but it's an it's it's a

115
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.000
<v Speaker 2>it's an added strike for him knowing that he didn't

116
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.480
<v Speaker 2>just you know, fall short and lose to the you know,

117
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.879
<v Speaker 2>lose to Michigan in the last game of the season

118
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:36.399
<v Speaker 2>that kept you from being able to play in the

119
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.480
<v Speaker 2>championship game. And then you didn't just lose in the

120
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.519
<v Speaker 2>first round, but you did it where you didn't really

121
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:44.480
<v Speaker 2>beat anybody worth a damn and you lost in the

122
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.240
<v Speaker 2>first game of the playoff to a team at home,

123
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.279
<v Speaker 2>like and by the way, are they at home or

124
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.120
<v Speaker 2>they is this? That is this that Ohio stated is

125
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:50.480
<v Speaker 2>isn't it.

126
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:52.800
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it's a shoot it so one of the more

127
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.879
<v Speaker 3>intriguing matchups I think, because you got it's probably gonna

128
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:59.000
<v Speaker 3>be cold and miserable, so that'd be interesting.

129
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.279
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know if I belie with what Herbstreet

130
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.560
<v Speaker 2>said whenever the bracket first was unveiled, that Ohio state

131
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.000
<v Speaker 2>right now, just where they are currently as a fan

132
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:09.759
<v Speaker 2>base and where they you know clearly what they feel

133
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.720
<v Speaker 2>about Ryan Day that they could get booed. I mean,

134
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:13.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if they're going to get booed in

135
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.199
<v Speaker 2>their home stadium, but like if it's out of control early,

136
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.879
<v Speaker 2>which I highly doubt, I mean, they may kill Tennessee.

137
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:20.839
<v Speaker 2>You just never know. But and they're the ones that

138
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:23.759
<v Speaker 2>are favored in this game. But I just it sounds

139
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.560
<v Speaker 2>crazy to fire a coach who has such a great

140
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:28.959
<v Speaker 2>record that has not even really had like a down year.

141
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:31.519
<v Speaker 2>Last year they were out of the playoff, and that's

142
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:33.519
<v Speaker 2>a down year for them, but they were still really good.

143
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.720
<v Speaker 2>And this year they've got you know, two losses, and

144
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.120
<v Speaker 2>they're in continent of the playoff, they're hosting the game,

145
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.120
<v Speaker 2>so like all in all, people would die for those

146
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.800
<v Speaker 2>results other places, but not at Ohio State, and not

147
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:48.240
<v Speaker 2>when you know you've given this guy resources to where

148
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.720
<v Speaker 2>you feel like it's just another sign that even with

149
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:54.519
<v Speaker 2>a team that is built with any player you seemingly

150
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:59.000
<v Speaker 2>want because of money, acting head coach, becoming your play

151
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:02.560
<v Speaker 2>caller and hip, Kelly like, I would not be shocked

152
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.279
<v Speaker 2>if he does lose his job despite what the ad

153
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.319
<v Speaker 2>said and despite overall the results of being good, because

154
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:09.360
<v Speaker 2>it's just different. It's just different at Ohio State, all right.

155
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.079
<v Speaker 2>For Louisville, we did talk a little bit earlier about

156
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:13.279
<v Speaker 2>the opt outs for the bowl game, clearly going to

157
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.079
<v Speaker 2>be a little bit of a different team without these guys.

158
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Shuck, Ashton Jealotti to Corey Brooks, and I think

159
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.879
<v Speaker 2>that was that about it. Let's see also a Maury

160
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Huggins Bruce, which you know, not to say that he

161
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.000
<v Speaker 2>won't be missed in some capacity, but obviously you know

162
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 2>there were many games where you didn't really see him

163
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:33.279
<v Speaker 2>get a lot of action to make a big impact.

164
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.160
<v Speaker 2>But the others Tyler Shuck, Jacory Brooks to ash In Jelatti,

165
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.120
<v Speaker 2>those are you know, your three best players? I would

166
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:40.120
<v Speaker 2>say as far as well, I don't know, you got

167
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:41.920
<v Speaker 2>some good guys still playing in the game in the

168
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.839
<v Speaker 2>Bowl game, like Isaac Brown and Duke Watson, and it

169
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.240
<v Speaker 2>sounds like Quincy Riley's going to play. I don't know

170
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:49.800
<v Speaker 2>if that's been confirmed, but he hasn't opted out just yet,

171
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:52.720
<v Speaker 2>so no clue what to expect. But man, I'm eager

172
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:54.600
<v Speaker 2>to see Pierce Clarkson if he's the quarterback. I would

173
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.000
<v Speaker 2>assume that he is. And you know, it's not like

174
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:01.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to be watching and hoping that he shows

175
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:05.120
<v Speaker 2>that we're gonna have like a real quarterback controversy, because

176
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:06.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's the case. I mean, maybe he

177
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:09.639
<v Speaker 2>does play really well and it's encouraging, but Jeff brom

178
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:12.319
<v Speaker 2>didn't go get in the portal and pay I mean

179
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:13.639
<v Speaker 2>not out of his own pocket, but he didn't go

180
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:17.000
<v Speaker 2>pay to get Miller Moss and and and have him

181
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:18.519
<v Speaker 2>like you know, I mean again, you've got to compete,

182
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:19.959
<v Speaker 2>you got to come ready to play. If he's terrible

183
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:21.920
<v Speaker 2>in practice, then maybe there would be something crazy happened.

184
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:25.279
<v Speaker 2>But like I just I want to see what we've

185
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:27.240
<v Speaker 2>got in a backup, and it's just He's we talked

186
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:30.879
<v Speaker 2>about the other day, the quarterback position is the most

187
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.240
<v Speaker 2>impacted position in all of sports when it comes to

188
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:36.639
<v Speaker 2>the portal and inn il because you don't when you

189
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:40.480
<v Speaker 2>don't have to rely on an unproven quarterback as a coach,

190
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:42.720
<v Speaker 2>you know what you're gonna do. Not do that. You're

191
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:46.159
<v Speaker 2>gonna go get somebody that is has has proven to

192
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.320
<v Speaker 2>be able to get to you know, to to win

193
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.320
<v Speaker 2>at a certain level and has experience. And you know

194
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:53.799
<v Speaker 2>when you when you get your first chance to cut

195
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.759
<v Speaker 2>your teeth at a quarterback moving forward, regardless of really

196
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.759
<v Speaker 2>where you are in the recruiting rankings and all that, Like,

197
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:01.279
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it's going to be at a different

198
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:02.960
<v Speaker 2>school than the one you committed to. I just do.

199
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:05.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, not all situations will play it like that,

200
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:07.440
<v Speaker 2>but I wouldn't be shocked if a lot of them do.

201
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.399
<v Speaker 2>Now the quarterback that did come in to you know,

202
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:14.240
<v Speaker 2>hopefully get Louisville in a position to be in the

203
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:16.320
<v Speaker 2>playoff next year. Tough to know because there's a lot

204
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 2>of work to be done when it comes to the portal.

205
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:19.559
<v Speaker 2>But I'd say the quarterback piece is not one that

206
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:21.960
<v Speaker 2>many are worried about. With Miller Moss and he was

207
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:25.240
<v Speaker 2>on Let's see where was this? He joined a Yeah,

208
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:28.600
<v Speaker 2>he was on a I think it's the twenty four

209
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:30.799
<v Speaker 2>to seven Sports maybe maybe one of their shows on

210
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:34.639
<v Speaker 2>their platform, talking about his decision to come and play

211
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 2>for Jeff Brohm. And here is what here's what Miller

212
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Moss had to say.

213
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.519
<v Speaker 4>It would be a tremendous honor to deliver coach brom

214
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.840
<v Speaker 4>his first ACES championships as the head coach of Louisville

215
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:47.840
<v Speaker 4>and then go on to have success down the road.

216
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:49.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean, obviously I've been a part of this for

217
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.639
<v Speaker 4>a little bit now, so I understand that, you know,

218
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:57.440
<v Speaker 4>making predictions or sorry, stating goals in December doesn't doesn't

219
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:58.799
<v Speaker 4>mean to Todd, and there's a lot of work that

220
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.440
<v Speaker 4>goes into that. But I think that'd be awesome and

221
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:02.159
<v Speaker 4>really here.

222
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.919
<v Speaker 2>For the school, the university, you know, So there you go.

223
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:08.399
<v Speaker 2>He wants to bring uh, Jeff bromis first a SEC championship.

224
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:10.159
<v Speaker 2>That would be that would be ideal. That would be great.

225
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:11.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's going to happen, but man,

226
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:14.679
<v Speaker 2>that would be awesome. And uh, speaking of Miller Moss,

227
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:18.360
<v Speaker 2>I I got to start monitoring the text line, well

228
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:20.519
<v Speaker 2>not monitoring, and you guys can send whatever you want

229
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:21.840
<v Speaker 2>in and a lot of you guys do that, and

230
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:24.240
<v Speaker 2>it's a wild place there on the Yellen and Federal

231
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Credit Union text line. But I probably wouldn't have read

232
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:32.480
<v Speaker 2>the text I read about Miller Moss's mother. Oh yeah,

233
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:36.120
<v Speaker 2>I probably wouldn't have read that Mama Moss. And if

234
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:37.559
<v Speaker 2>I would have read it for the first time in

235
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.480
<v Speaker 2>a break, I wouldn't have come back and went to it.

236
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:41.840
<v Speaker 2>But I just kind of was reading it, you know,

237
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:44.960
<v Speaker 2>kind of like Burgundy tellprompter, like just you know, getting

238
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:46.840
<v Speaker 2>myself in trouble kind of going. So when it wasn't

239
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:49.399
<v Speaker 2>wasn't crazy. But if you listened yesterday you know what

240
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:52.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about. And our podcast listeners of course who

241
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.240
<v Speaker 2>listened after the fact, they were pretty active on the

242
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.240
<v Speaker 2>text line. And uh, real big fans of Miller Moss's mother,

243
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:00.399
<v Speaker 2>who seems like a great mother and she's a good

244
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.240
<v Speaker 2>quarterback and what you know that that that was my

245
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:04.840
<v Speaker 2>comment and I and I and I and I do

246
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:07.639
<v Speaker 2>stand by that. But yes, she's she's awesome, and I

247
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.720
<v Speaker 2>and she was going back and forth with UK fans

248
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:12.840
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to the uh, when it comes to

249
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:14.519
<v Speaker 2>the you know, which I don't know if I like

250
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:18.000
<v Speaker 2>that but hey, she's uh, she's willing to get in

251
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.080
<v Speaker 2>the weeds and go back and forth with BBN. I mean,

252
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:23.279
<v Speaker 2>that's that's a good that's a good sign right away

253
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:25.519
<v Speaker 2>that you know she's kind of she's all in and

254
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:26.840
<v Speaker 2>you know she's.

255
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:28.679
<v Speaker 3>She's great, she's DTF down to fan.

256
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Yep, that's right, Yeah, yep, that's that. Yep, you are correct.

257
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:36.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, quick break, we will keep this thing rolling along.

258
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:38.879
<v Speaker 2>I do want to talk a little more Louisville hoops.

259
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:44.519
<v Speaker 2>The continuous nonsense about Vince Merrow being pursued for all

260
00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:47.399
<v Speaker 2>these jobs is still something I find very hilarious and

261
00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:49.639
<v Speaker 2>we need to revisit something we did discuss earlier this

262
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Netflix series that's going to feature the SEC this past season,

263
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.600
<v Speaker 2>and when they were in town to be in bed

264
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:58.519
<v Speaker 2>within the Kentucky program and really give you a behind

265
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.120
<v Speaker 2>the scenes look at what's going on with u K football.

266
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:03.919
<v Speaker 2>It just so happened to be the South Carolina game

267
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:05.759
<v Speaker 2>in the Louisville game, which is going to be great

268
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:08.159
<v Speaker 2>entertainment for Louisville fans, but for Kentucky fans, I'm not

269
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:09.879
<v Speaker 2>even sure if they'll watch it, and I don't blame them,

270
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:11.240
<v Speaker 2>but what I want to get to is sort of

271
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:14.120
<v Speaker 2>the risk that you that you take when you sign

272
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:15.600
<v Speaker 2>up to be a part of this part of the

273
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:18.559
<v Speaker 2>show and give people a peek behind the curtain, not

274
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:20.440
<v Speaker 2>knowing if you're going to be successful or not. So

275
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:22.200
<v Speaker 2>don't go anywhere. Keep it locked right here. It's Coffee

276

<v Speaker 2>All right, So this was this is one of those

288
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.039
<v Speaker 2>good stories this time of year, and hey, it is

289
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.279
<v Speaker 2>the holiday season, and it's always nice to be reminded

290
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.559
<v Speaker 2>at any point, regardless of the holiday season or whatever

291
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:11.440
<v Speaker 2>time of the year it is, it's always nice to

292
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:12.840
<v Speaker 2>be reminded that there are a lot of really good

293
00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:15.320
<v Speaker 2>people out there that do really good things just because

294
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.480
<v Speaker 2>they want to be good people, and that doesn't get

295
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.399
<v Speaker 2>profiled quite as much as you know, and that's not

296
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:23.720
<v Speaker 2>really I mean, that's just life. That's not anybody's fault.

297
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:26.320
<v Speaker 2>But obviously crime is a big part of news coverage

298
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:29.799
<v Speaker 2>and whatnot. But how about this person who is anonymous

299
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:32.559
<v Speaker 2>here in Louisville, Kentucky at the I'm sorry, Southern Indiana

300
00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:36.000
<v Speaker 2>just across the river, the Salvation Army in Southern Indiana

301
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:40.519
<v Speaker 2>received a big time donation from an anonymous person and

302
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:45.840
<v Speaker 2>it is a rare gold nugget and it weighed fifteen

303
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:49.519
<v Speaker 2>point five ounces and apparently that is very valuable. In fact,

304
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:53.960
<v Speaker 2>it's valued at over forty thousand dollarsesh. So they have

305
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:57.559
<v Speaker 2>their annual red Kettle campaign. Somebody came in donated it

306
00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:04.039
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday. And again that's that's insane. I mean, somebody

307
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:08.559
<v Speaker 2>given forty thousand dollars knowing what that's worth and not

308
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:12.759
<v Speaker 2>wanting anybody to know who it was. I mean, like

309
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:14.480
<v Speaker 2>I say this all the time when it comes to

310
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:18.480
<v Speaker 2>people who are generous, no matter what your motive is,

311
00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:22.000
<v Speaker 2>if you are in fact doing a good deed. You're

312
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.200
<v Speaker 2>doing a good deed, and that's a great thing. Meaning

313
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:26.679
<v Speaker 2>I think there's some people who would not be as

314
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:29.960
<v Speaker 2>generous if they didn't have the opportunity to get footage

315
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:31.559
<v Speaker 2>of it and post it on social media so they

316
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.120
<v Speaker 2>can look like a great person. But again, regardless of motive,

317
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:38.679
<v Speaker 2>it's still awesome that they're doing that. And those that

318
00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:41.759
<v Speaker 2>do that but don't want to be don't want anybody

319
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:45.720
<v Speaker 2>to know. I mean, we're talking about somebody who is

320
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:48.159
<v Speaker 2>just a fun I mean I was gonna say, like

321
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.399
<v Speaker 2>the best people you'll find, and I kind of felt

322
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:52.639
<v Speaker 2>like that would have been an exaggeration. But actually, I'm

323
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:55.679
<v Speaker 2>not sure. It is like somebody who just wants to

324
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:58.799
<v Speaker 2>donate something and be generous and they're going to keep

325
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.799
<v Speaker 2>it to themselves, Like that's that's a special person. And

326
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:04.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure that happens a lot more often than you know.

327
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:07.080
<v Speaker 2>There's just this one instance across the river in southern Indiana,

328
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:10.720
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, that's that's amazing. So there are good

329
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:11.759
<v Speaker 2>people out there, believe it or not.

330
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:13.919
<v Speaker 3>See what you can getting into the college football playoffs

331
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:18.200
<v Speaker 3>does to you. It gets these Hoosiers are starting to

332
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:20.120
<v Speaker 3>get grateful. Man, I love to hear about it.

333
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, maybe they put a few other gold nuggets in

334
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:26.279
<v Speaker 2>the nil bucket for mister Signetti, because you know that

335
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:29.159
<v Speaker 2>would That's where I feel like you'd be really generous

336
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:32.320
<v Speaker 2>if you're an Indiana fan. But anyways, the fundraising here,

337
00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:36.080
<v Speaker 2>their goal they were able to. Yeah, the goal, it

338
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:39.080
<v Speaker 2>says here they have a goal throughout the en They're

339
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:40.840
<v Speaker 2>not done yet. Of course, Christmas season's not over, but

340
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:42.440
<v Speaker 2>they had a goal of raising three hundred and seventy

341
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:45.519
<v Speaker 2>eight thousand dollars. And of course this gold nugget, valued

342
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:47.000
<v Speaker 2>it over forty grand is going to go a long

343
00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:50.120
<v Speaker 2>way toward helping them get to those efforts. So good

344
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:52.919
<v Speaker 2>stuff there, good vibes, no doubt. All right, let's not

345
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:54.919
<v Speaker 2>quick break. I don't know why I said that. We

346
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.559
<v Speaker 2>just got back from break. Anyways, this is where I

347
00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:00.039
<v Speaker 2>start to realize there's so many things I want to

348
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:01.679
<v Speaker 2>try to get to it before we run out of time.

349
00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:03.440
<v Speaker 2>And I'm just talking really fast that I'm all over

350
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:05.240
<v Speaker 2>the place. I don't know which way to go. But

351
00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:08.679
<v Speaker 2>let's get to this. This Netflix series that the SEC

352
00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:12.639
<v Speaker 2>was featured in. This this will come out this summer

353
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:15.279
<v Speaker 2>in July. In July of twenty twenty five, and it

354
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:19.320
<v Speaker 2>featured a handful of SEC teams, and they'll feature a

355
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:21.240
<v Speaker 2>handful of SEC teams next season, so it'll be a

356
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:24.759
<v Speaker 2>two part thing. And not every SEC team participated. And

357
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:26.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure. I'm trying to find one of the

358
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:29.039
<v Speaker 2>articles here that I have that tells me, you know,

359
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:31.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't I can't find the information here. Would they

360
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:32.960
<v Speaker 2>have let everybody be on it if they wanted to,

361
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:35.399
<v Speaker 2>or did they ask a certain amount of people and

362
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:37.399
<v Speaker 2>they turn in a certain amount turned it down to

363
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:39.200
<v Speaker 2>where they've been moved on to other schools. I really

364
00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:44.799
<v Speaker 2>don't know. But the schools that decided to participate, Kentucky

365
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:48.240
<v Speaker 2>was one of them. And to know, and again, if

366
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:50.279
<v Speaker 2>you're Kentucky, I think at the time you would say yeah,

367
00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:53.759
<v Speaker 2>because that's just more exposure and you probably believe you

368
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:56.279
<v Speaker 2>were going to have a good season and therefore it

369
00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:58.600
<v Speaker 2>would be you know, a real it would be a

370
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:01.159
<v Speaker 2>win win for you. You know, not only are you having success,

371
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:04.319
<v Speaker 2>but it was part of it was profiled by a

372
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:06.640
<v Speaker 2>crew that's putting a show on Netflix. It's going to

373
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:08.400
<v Speaker 2>be watched by millions and millions of people. I mean,

374
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, momentum is a big factor in college athletics,

375
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:14.200
<v Speaker 2>more so than it's ever been because you know, you

376
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:17.079
<v Speaker 2>can have no momentum and still potentially use your in

377
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:20.839
<v Speaker 2>il and get people to believe in you and hope

378
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:23.680
<v Speaker 2>that your success or your lack of success recently was

379
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:26.799
<v Speaker 2>an outlier, or maybe they believe that you're still a

380
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.079
<v Speaker 2>coach that you know, despite maybe not having success yet,

381
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:30.599
<v Speaker 2>that they're going to believe in you. So you can

382
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.519
<v Speaker 2>you can work around it. But man, if you've got

383
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:36.599
<v Speaker 2>if you've got nil resources and you've got momentum, meaning

384
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:40.440
<v Speaker 2>where like you're having success, you are you know, in

385
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:43.279
<v Speaker 2>the limelight, you got you know, momentum. Again, That's that's

386
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:45.759
<v Speaker 2>why I emphasize that word like that that can really

387
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:47.079
<v Speaker 2>really help you. That's why I think it was so

388
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:50.640
<v Speaker 2>important for Louisville football to finish the season strong where

389
00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:52.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, they ended up winning their last couple of

390
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:55.359
<v Speaker 2>games in impressive fashion and finished eight and four. That

391
00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:57.680
<v Speaker 2>wasn't a special season, but you know, last year, I

392
00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:59.359
<v Speaker 2>don't think they ended with momentum. Right, they played in

393
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:01.039
<v Speaker 2>the AEC champ Game and that was great and they

394
00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:03.160
<v Speaker 2>were they were able to navigate through that, but like

395
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:06.000
<v Speaker 2>it sucked last year having a ten and two regular season,

396
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:09.759
<v Speaker 2>a ten and four regular of ten and four season overall,

397
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:13.319
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Brawn clearly off to a phenomenal start here. I

398
00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:16.000
<v Speaker 2>mean that was awesome, but it didn't feel you didn't

399
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:17.799
<v Speaker 2>have the feeling of it because the momentum was kind

400
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:21.920
<v Speaker 2>of had evaporated just because you've ended the season in

401
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:24.559
<v Speaker 2>terrible fashion. Still was a good year overall, but like

402
00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:27.599
<v Speaker 2>the ending certainly impacted how it felt at the end.

403
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:29.680
<v Speaker 2>And you know, this time around, I think you know,

404
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:31.559
<v Speaker 2>there's clearly some setbacks that they had early on this

405
00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:34.680
<v Speaker 2>year against good teams. The Stanford loss was awful, but man,

406
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:36.359
<v Speaker 2>they finished strong, and I think that can go a

407
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:40.160
<v Speaker 2>long way. So, you know, if you are doing all

408
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:43.000
<v Speaker 2>that and having success and you're featured on this like

409
00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:45.559
<v Speaker 2>for example, South Carolina finished the season really strong too.

410
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:47.680
<v Speaker 2>They came up short and didn't make the playoff, but

411
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:49.279
<v Speaker 2>like they ended up being a really really good team

412
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:50.920
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the day. That's just on the

413
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:53.559
<v Speaker 2>outside looking again of the playoff. Well, if they're featured

414
00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:56.039
<v Speaker 2>on this show, like that's only gonna make them even

415
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:00.480
<v Speaker 2>more attractive, I would say to fans. But most importantly

416
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:03.839
<v Speaker 2>like players that maybe you know, maybe they learned something

417
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:05.839
<v Speaker 2>about the culture at South Carolina that they didn't know

418
00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:07.720
<v Speaker 2>about from this show. Maybe they were like, Okay, I'm

419
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:10.400
<v Speaker 2>seeing a side of Shane Beemer I've never seen before.

420
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:12.200
<v Speaker 2>This guy's awesome. I want to go play for him. So, like,

421
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:14.640
<v Speaker 2>there's no guarantee that you really benefit from it, but

422
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:16.680
<v Speaker 2>you got a better chance of benefitting from being on

423
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:18.799
<v Speaker 2>this show if things are going well, then if things

424
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:21.799
<v Speaker 2>are going poorly and clearly with Kentucky, they're going to

425
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:24.720
<v Speaker 2>be included in this show that comes out this summer.

426
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:28.119
<v Speaker 2>And the two weeks that they were here profiling Kentucky

427
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:30.759
<v Speaker 2>embedded within the program with their film crew talking to

428
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:33.799
<v Speaker 2>players and coaches, I'm sure it was when they played

429
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.039
<v Speaker 2>South Carolina, and it was also the week they played Louisville.

430
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:38.559
<v Speaker 2>And I don't think you could pick two weeks for

431
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky that would be worse to have included in this

432
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:43.559
<v Speaker 2>show than those two weeks. But you know, what are

433
00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:45.960
<v Speaker 2>you gonna do? And I don't know if it'll really

434
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:48.680
<v Speaker 2>impact them at all, because everybody knows. By the time

435
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:50.920
<v Speaker 2>this is out there, everybody's gonna know that they finished

436
00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:53.000
<v Speaker 2>one and seven in the sec but like, maybe there's

437
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:54.839
<v Speaker 2>some behind the scenes stuff that makes it look even

438
00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:57.240
<v Speaker 2>worse than you realized. Maybe you've turned the page and

439
00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:59.279
<v Speaker 2>aren't thrilled with where things are going, but you want

440
00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:01.559
<v Speaker 2>to believe because you you're a fan. And then you

441
00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:03.839
<v Speaker 2>see how you're reminded of how bad it was, and

442
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:06.759
<v Speaker 2>you're like, Okay, why did I get myself hyped up?

443
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Why did I think we were Why did I try

444
00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:11.880
<v Speaker 2>to convince myself things weren't going as poorly as they are,

445
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:14.359
<v Speaker 2>because clearly they are. So you know, if I was

446
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:15.920
<v Speaker 2>a Kentucky fan, I'm not even trying to watch it. It

447
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:18.559
<v Speaker 2>would be cool to kind of see your program, you know,

448
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.000
<v Speaker 2>behind the scenes in like a cinematic production like this

449
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:25.279
<v Speaker 2>with Netflix involved, but I also couldn't see myself like,

450
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:26.920
<v Speaker 2>all right, that's kind of cool, but I don't want

451
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:29.160
<v Speaker 2>to relive these bad moments. These were not good. This

452
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:34.480
<v Speaker 2>was sad. I don't like seeing, you know, Netflix profiling

453
00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:38.319
<v Speaker 2>my team getting embarrassed by their rival in a game

454
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:40.759
<v Speaker 2>that really wasn't even as close as the final score indicated.

455
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:43.680
<v Speaker 2>So if you don't watch it in you're Kentucky fan,

456
00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:46.599
<v Speaker 2>I just want you to know I understand. All right,

457
00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:49.799
<v Speaker 2>so bracketology is really stupid, right, we can agree, can't we?

458
00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:55.640
<v Speaker 2>So the latest bracketology, let me pull it up here

459
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:59.519
<v Speaker 2>from one and only Joe Lenardi, who I do. You

460
00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:02.960
<v Speaker 2>know my beef is not with Lenardi, And I've railed

461
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:04.599
<v Speaker 2>on him for a while because you know, he's not

462
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:07.799
<v Speaker 2>like the best when it comes to predicting the bracket.

463
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:09.720
<v Speaker 2>He has it a couple of good years lately, but overall,

464
00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:11.920
<v Speaker 2>like he's not. Like there are dudes who work a

465
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:14.119
<v Speaker 2>full time job doing a lot of different things that

466
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:17.039
<v Speaker 2>don't have anything to do with basketball or you know, analytics,

467
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:18.839
<v Speaker 2>but yet they do it every year and they are

468
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.759
<v Speaker 2>really good at predicting what the NAA selection Committee's gonna do.

469
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:26.480
<v Speaker 2>And Lenardi, you know, he's not great, but yet because

470
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:28.359
<v Speaker 2>he's the guy that does it on ESPN and most

471
00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:30.319
<v Speaker 2>of the games you watch around ESPN, they shove him

472
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.359
<v Speaker 2>in your face throughout the season and give this false

473
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:35.440
<v Speaker 2>perception that he has to say so and who gets

474
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:37.279
<v Speaker 2>in the tournament. And I'll be honest with you, I

475
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:39.759
<v Speaker 2>would be fine if Leonardi seed to the tournament because,

476
00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:42.319
<v Speaker 2>as I've said, just like the college football playoff committee,

477
00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:45.920
<v Speaker 2>why not have somebody where like this is what they do,

478
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:50.000
<v Speaker 2>this is all they do, having ads and chancellors and

479
00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:54.240
<v Speaker 2>conference commissioners involved. One, there's clearly some type of bias

480
00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:55.799
<v Speaker 2>that you just have to hope that they're not going

481
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:59.680
<v Speaker 2>to have. But also like they got other proba. They

482
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:02.160
<v Speaker 2>gotta things going on to where like they're not watching

483
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:05.359
<v Speaker 2>as much ball as you know a die hard fan

484
00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:06.839
<v Speaker 2>does and not have to said that a dieh herd

485
00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:09.519
<v Speaker 2>fan would be more you know, but more you know,

486
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:13.480
<v Speaker 2>qualified to do it. But these guys have other stuff

487
00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:15.359
<v Speaker 2>going on to where yeah they're great, they're professionals, they've

488
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:18.680
<v Speaker 2>had successful careers, but why not just have Lenardi do it?

489
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Who in fact, like that's all he does. And I

490
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:24.279
<v Speaker 2>think Lenardi's been wrong and he's easy to poke fun

491
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:27.640
<v Speaker 2>of because you know, he just is. But also I

492
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:29.880
<v Speaker 2>don't think anybody would claim that like he's biased like

493
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:33.720
<v Speaker 2>any Here's how you know somebody is not biased. When

494
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:36.000
<v Speaker 2>everybody thinks that that he's out to get their team

495
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:38.119
<v Speaker 2>and he's unfairly seeding them like that, that's that's the

496
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:40.000
<v Speaker 2>proof that yeah, he's not somebody you got to worry

497
00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:43.000
<v Speaker 2>about showing favoritism. He's just gonna call it like it is.

498
00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:47.680
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, I'm not anti Lenardi the guy. It's just

499
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:49.920
<v Speaker 2>annoying for me. It's more ESPN than than it is

500
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:53.160
<v Speaker 2>anything else. That just irritates me. But right now he

501
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:56.640
<v Speaker 2>has Kentucky as a one seed in his bracket, which

502
00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:58.799
<v Speaker 2>doesn't really surprise me. They have two really good wins,

503
00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:02.839
<v Speaker 2>and you know, their resume is gonna be I mean,

504
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:05.359
<v Speaker 2>I put it this way, if they beat Ohio State

505
00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:09.799
<v Speaker 2>this weekend, they're gonna have a really good resume because

506
00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:12.240
<v Speaker 2>even if they do lose many times in the SEC,

507
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:14.240
<v Speaker 2>because of how dominant the SEC has been as a

508
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:16.839
<v Speaker 2>hoops conference, I don't know if that's gonna really impact

509
00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:20.480
<v Speaker 2>their numbers. Right Like, the amount of quad one, Quad

510
00:23:20.519 --> 00:23:22.680
<v Speaker 2>two games in the SEC play this year is gonna

511
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:28.279
<v Speaker 2>be insane. You know, that's that's that's a dangerous thing

512
00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:30.519
<v Speaker 2>if you're you know, if you're a team in that conference.

513
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:33.799
<v Speaker 2>But I look at the ACC, who again had another

514
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:35.960
<v Speaker 2>bad night last night. One of the worst teams, a

515
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:38.039
<v Speaker 2>team that isn't in fact good in the in the

516
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:40.680
<v Speaker 2>SEC is South Carolina. Well, they beat Clemson at home,

517
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:41.880
<v Speaker 2>the team that's supposed to be one of the best

518
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:44.799
<v Speaker 2>teams in your league. North Carolina, they got some talented

519
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:47.480
<v Speaker 2>players and they fought back against Florida, who's unbeaten, but

520
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:51.160
<v Speaker 2>they ended up losing. And Carolina, I mean, Carolina is

521
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:53.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna be an interesting case study because they're about to

522
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:55.599
<v Speaker 2>head into conference play and there's not a lot of

523
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:57.440
<v Speaker 2>great wins out there. I mean, the only win right

524
00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:00.519
<v Speaker 2>now in the ACC that anybody has when it comes

525
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:05.400
<v Speaker 2>to you know, if surefire thing is Duke. I mean,

526
00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Carolina is still a top thirty team in the Ken Palm.

527
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:09.839
<v Speaker 2>But Carolina right now is six and five, and yes,

528
00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:12.960
<v Speaker 2>all their losses have coming against good teams, but they

529
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:16.160
<v Speaker 2>don't really have any wins to speak of. And you know,

530
00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:19.160
<v Speaker 2>they may run through the ACC, but there's not going

531
00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:21.200
<v Speaker 2>to be many good opportunities to get wins in the league.

532
00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:24.720
<v Speaker 2>So like, it's just crazy to envision a scenario where

533
00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Carolina ends up being the second best team maybe in

534
00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:32.160
<v Speaker 2>the ACC, and they end up having a really good record.

535
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:34.880
<v Speaker 2>But in the non conference when they played all the

536
00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:37.119
<v Speaker 2>good teams, they lost, and when they played in the ACC,

537
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:39.799
<v Speaker 2>they lost to Duke and then beat up on all

538
00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:41.240
<v Speaker 2>the teams they were kind of supposed to beat up on.

539
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:42.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that would ever lead to them not

540
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:45.720
<v Speaker 2>making the tournament, But like, where do you see them?

541
00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:50.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean again, they're now six and five with losses

542
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:53.519
<v Speaker 2>to Kansas, Auburn, Michigan State, Alabama in Florida. Give them

543
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:56.160
<v Speaker 2>credit for playing a really challenging schedule, but they've got

544
00:24:56.279 --> 00:24:59.519
<v Speaker 2>this Saturday in the Champions Classic UCLA, who's top fifteen

545
00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:01.880
<v Speaker 2>in the ken Pom. That's kind of like, I mean,

546
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:04.039
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of like it is their last chance to

547
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:06.079
<v Speaker 2>get a win of value in the non conference now

548
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:10.599
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to you know, the ACC. I mean again,

549
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:12.640
<v Speaker 2>the only team that that that you know for sure

550
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:14.720
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna get a lot of value when you play

551
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:17.400
<v Speaker 2>them and beat them is is Duke. Other than that,

552
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:20.079
<v Speaker 2>it's I mean, there's not They're not good wins if

553
00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:21.880
<v Speaker 2>you get them, and if you and if you don't

554
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:23.480
<v Speaker 2>get them and you lose to a team that's you know,

555
00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:26.839
<v Speaker 2>let's say Louisville knocks them off. That's not a terrible loss,

556
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:29.920
<v Speaker 2>but it's certainly not a good one, at least not

557
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:34.880
<v Speaker 2>right now. So currently with Lenardi, I didn't just bring

558
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:39.920
<v Speaker 2>it up to mention that that, you know, the the

559
00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:45.279
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky one seed thing. But Louisville is not in the

560
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:48.079
<v Speaker 2>first four out or the next four out. They're in

561
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:52.359
<v Speaker 2>the second group. So of the like twelve teams on

562
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:54.839
<v Speaker 2>the outside looking in, they're in that mix of twelve,

563
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:57.720
<v Speaker 2>but they're in the late stages according to Lenardi, meaning

564
00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:02.039
<v Speaker 2>I guess nine through twelve. So doesn't that mean you're

565
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:03.759
<v Speaker 2>on the bubble or no? Cause I get I mean

566
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:07.039
<v Speaker 2>technically like you're alive, you're within the bubble. I suppose

567
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:08.440
<v Speaker 2>if we're just gonna base it off of like if

568
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:11.279
<v Speaker 2>this was real, But I also think you'd consider if

569
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:14.720
<v Speaker 2>you are the last four in or the last four buys,

570
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:18.319
<v Speaker 2>you probably also were considered on the bubble. I mean

571
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:20.839
<v Speaker 2>you are, like you're in, but like it. It's bubbleish,

572
00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:24.599
<v Speaker 2>bubbly as they say. So not great to see that

573
00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Louisville's two best wins Indiana and West Virginia. Indiana is

574
00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:31.519
<v Speaker 2>now currently in the first four out and West Virginia

575
00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:33.640
<v Speaker 2>is in the last four buys, meaning they're in right now.

576
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:35.039
<v Speaker 2>But they don't have a whole lot of wiggle rooms.

577
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:36.599
<v Speaker 2>So these are things you got to keep up with.

578
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:39.240
<v Speaker 2>It's not like life or death, and it doesn't guarantee anything.

579
00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:42.519
<v Speaker 2>But you want the teams that beat you to continue

580
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:43.880
<v Speaker 2>to be really good, and you want the teams you

581
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:46.640
<v Speaker 2>beat that could potentially like again, it didn't matter if

582
00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:48.359
<v Speaker 2>U TEP ends up being good because you know it's

583
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:49.759
<v Speaker 2>U TEP. But like if you beat a team in

584
00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:51.200
<v Speaker 2>your conference or you beat a team in the non

585
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:53.839
<v Speaker 2>conference that's from the power level, you want them to

586
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:55.319
<v Speaker 2>do well because it's going to give you a chance

587
00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:59.839
<v Speaker 2>to get a win with more value. So currently Leonardi

588
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:03.559
<v Speaker 2>only he has four ACC teams in, and I'm trying

589
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:06.039
<v Speaker 2>to see hate that he doesn't break it down by seed,

590
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:10.640
<v Speaker 2>but obviously Duke is in safely with a Are they

591
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:13.480
<v Speaker 2>a one seed? Let me see? Now I can't not

592
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:16.359
<v Speaker 2>look because I'm just yeah, Duke is a two seed

593
00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:20.319
<v Speaker 2>and Carolina is a nine seed, and then I guess

594
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:23.200
<v Speaker 2>who would be the other teams in. I mean pitt

595
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:25.799
<v Speaker 2>is a seventh seed, Clemson maybe yeah, Pitt is a

596
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:28.279
<v Speaker 2>seven seed and Clemson is a six seed. But I

597
00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:32.160
<v Speaker 2>think this came out before Clemson lost last night. So anyways,

598
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:36.319
<v Speaker 2>I still think they can get to the tournament, but

599
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:39.640
<v Speaker 2>I just think it's ultimately if they do end up

600
00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:41.839
<v Speaker 2>getting results and like they start beating all the teams

601
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:43.720
<v Speaker 2>they're supposed to beat, and maybe they steal a win

602
00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:46.519
<v Speaker 2>against the team they weren't supposed to win. I think

603
00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:48.279
<v Speaker 2>it if that plays out, it I'm not sure that

604
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:50.000
<v Speaker 2>it will, but if it does, I really think it's

605
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:51.640
<v Speaker 2>just gonna come down to how the committee views the

606
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:54.359
<v Speaker 2>ACC and that's just that's the ultimate coin flip. You

607
00:27:54.359 --> 00:27:56.119
<v Speaker 2>don't know, but I do know is we got one

608
00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:58.359
<v Speaker 2>more segments, so stick around. We'll finish strong here. On

609
00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:00.000
<v Speaker 2>the other side, Coffee and Company feel about the.

610
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:03.559
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Coffee and Company with Nick Coffee on

00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:16.079
<v Speaker 2>Coffee and Company. Really really good stuff. Speaking of good stuff, sex,

615
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:18.119
<v Speaker 2>I think we could all agree sex is pretty good,

616
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:20.160
<v Speaker 2>right it should be. I hope it is. I mean,

617

619
00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:30.359
<v Speaker 2>make it good. And I can't guarantee anything, but I

620
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:32.400
<v Speaker 2>know there's something out there that can enhance the experience

621
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:34.480
<v Speaker 2>and make it better. And that's called blue Shoo. It's

622
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:36.839
<v Speaker 2>got the same active ingredients as viagra and sialis, but

623
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:38.200
<v Speaker 2>you get it at a fraction of the cost and

624
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:41.039
<v Speaker 2>a little blue chewable pill that is delicious and man,

625
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:43.319
<v Speaker 2>it can really it can really have an effect, not

626
00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:44.599
<v Speaker 2>only for those that might need a little bit of

627
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:47.000
<v Speaker 2>an extra bump in the bedroom. And if so, you

647
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:33.880
<v Speaker 2>here before we wrap it up, and I'm just trying

648
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:35.880
<v Speaker 2>to and this is something I'll probably need to like

649
00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:39.039
<v Speaker 2>make a regular part of the show because you know,

650
00:29:39.039 --> 00:29:40.119
<v Speaker 2>and I don't have a whole lot of time to

651
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:42.839
<v Speaker 2>dive into something. Maybe if I tease you with some

652
00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:45.559
<v Speaker 2>things I can you know, have ready tomorrow for the show,

653
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:47.640
<v Speaker 2>that'll make you more excited to tune in and join

654
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:50.599
<v Speaker 2>us on a Thursday. Because the conversation about Travis Hunter,

655
00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:53.279
<v Speaker 2>who won the Heisman Trophy, in which position he's going

656
00:29:53.319 --> 00:29:56.079
<v Speaker 2>to play in the NFL is a real debate because

657
00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:59.400
<v Speaker 2>he's clearly good enough to be an attractive defensive back

658
00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:02.039
<v Speaker 2>and a receiver, but no, no team is going to

659
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:04.319
<v Speaker 2>invest in him as one of those and not and

660
00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:06.279
<v Speaker 2>let him play both like they're gonna they're gonna decide

661
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:09.480
<v Speaker 2>what he's gonna be, and maybe he will want to

662
00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:11.279
<v Speaker 2>do both, but I don't see a scenario where a

663
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:13.839
<v Speaker 2>team will say, no, we want you. And I'm assuming

664
00:30:13.880 --> 00:30:15.759
<v Speaker 2>defensive back is where he'll end U wouldn't you say

665
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:18.880
<v Speaker 2>that Austin, uh, like Travis Hunter, will probably be more

666
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:21.720
<v Speaker 2>attractive in the NFL as a dB than a wide receiver,

667
00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:23.480
<v Speaker 2>right especially.

668
00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:25.359
<v Speaker 3>And so I've heard a lot more that a lot

669
00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:27.680
<v Speaker 3>of people would want him as wide receiver.

670
00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:31.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think, you know, he's such a dynamic playmaker

671
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:33.559
<v Speaker 2>that I could see a scenario where he'd be really

672
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:36.119
<v Speaker 2>really good at both. But but I don't think that's

673
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:38.839
<v Speaker 2>happening the avalue. Yeah, nobody's gonna let him play both.

674
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:42.799
<v Speaker 2>But the average salary of the five highest paid receivers

675
00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:45.240
<v Speaker 2>in the league is thirty two million dollars, which is

676
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:47.960
<v Speaker 2>ten million more than the than the average salary for

677
00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:50.720
<v Speaker 2>the top five cornerbacks. Therefore, you know, it's kind of

678
00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:52.839
<v Speaker 2>like running backs. Adrian Peterson said something long ago that

679
00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:55.880
<v Speaker 2>has always stuck with me, and it's that if he

680
00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:58.720
<v Speaker 2>could have gone back to the moment where it was

681
00:30:58.799 --> 00:31:01.039
<v Speaker 2>clear his future and flo ball was it running back

682
00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:03.880
<v Speaker 2>at that age, you probably have some real ability to

683
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:06.559
<v Speaker 2>where you can probably play defensive back too, right, or

684
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:08.839
<v Speaker 2>maybe you know something else to where you know if

685
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:11.039
<v Speaker 2>you've got the if you're just a gifted athlete with

686
00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:14.440
<v Speaker 2>a lot of upside and potential choosing running back. If

687
00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:16.279
<v Speaker 2>that's really what you're best at and it's going to

688
00:31:16.359 --> 00:31:18.640
<v Speaker 2>get you the most attention, then do that. But if

689
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:21.440
<v Speaker 2>you know you have potential to where you can be

690
00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:25.559
<v Speaker 2>really good at a few different positions, I think you

691
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:28.400
<v Speaker 2>at this point choosing running back would be a foolish move.

692
00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:30.480
<v Speaker 2>And again, not many are this gifted to where they

693
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:33.759
<v Speaker 2>can make that choice. But you know, the future and

694
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:36.759
<v Speaker 2>the money is is way more lucrative for those that

695
00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:38.880
<v Speaker 2>are playing a position other than running back, because that's

696
00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:41.319
<v Speaker 2>just what it's it's what it's turned into. Also something

697
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:44.279
<v Speaker 2>else we'll get tomorrow. Quinners is of course the Texas

698
00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:46.799
<v Speaker 2>quarterback that that's going to be leading Texas in this playoff,

699
00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:50.240
<v Speaker 2>but he doesn't necessarily want to go pro. But yet

700
00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:54.759
<v Speaker 2>Texas apparently wants to. They want to move on and

701
00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:57.160
<v Speaker 2>get the arch Manning era started for obvious reasons, and

702
00:31:57.160 --> 00:31:59.200
<v Speaker 2>that could just lead to some of the one of

703
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:02.319
<v Speaker 2>the wildest things you'll see where like I think even

704
00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:04.319
<v Speaker 2>if quin Ouers does really well in the playoff, like

705
00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:05.960
<v Speaker 2>they want to move on from him, and if he does,

706
00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:07.680
<v Speaker 2>then maybe that means he does go to the NFL.

707
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:10.079
<v Speaker 2>But he's not gonna be one of the first quarterbacks taken.

708
00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:12.839
<v Speaker 2>And like it's just crazy to think that, Like could

709
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:14.519
<v Speaker 2>a team trade for a player, you know what I mean?

710
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:17.079
<v Speaker 2>Like could could you know, could could the NAL package

711
00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:20.039
<v Speaker 2>at one school go to Texas and then Texas sends

712
00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:22.759
<v Speaker 2>the NL package for ers to a different school, Like

713
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:24.400
<v Speaker 2>I doubt that, but I mean I doubt that would

714
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:26.480
<v Speaker 2>ever happen. It sounds insane, but like we're in insane

715
00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:29.079
<v Speaker 2>time right now when it comes to college sports. Anyways,

716
00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:30.279
<v Speaker 2>we got a lot to get tomorrow and I hope

717
00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:32.240
<v Speaker 2>you'll join us and we're gonna call it a day.

718
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Have a good night, everybody, to take care
