00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:06.919
<v Speaker 2>Holy crap, I don't know who the hell we think

3
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:07.799
<v Speaker 2>when we are.

4
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:10.119
<v Speaker 3>Gettle off our show, idiot.

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:12.800
<v Speaker 2>The kids are playing or tearl oft and the coaches are.

00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:19.800
<v Speaker 2>They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not.

9
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:21.519
<v Speaker 3>Who's the kid here?

10
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:23.440
<v Speaker 4>Who's the kid here?

11
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:38.759
<v Speaker 3>Are you kidding me? Now? Here's Nick coffee?

12
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.679
<v Speaker 2>All right, good afternoon, Welcome in to a Thursday edition

13
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:49.119
<v Speaker 2>of Coffee and Company, fuel about Thornton's here on Sports

14
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:53.359
<v Speaker 2>Talk seven ninety A cold Thursday. I'm pretty sure winter

15
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 2>has arrived. I mean maybe we will get warmer weather

16
00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:59.759
<v Speaker 2>at some point, like before Christmas, but we're a week

17
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.280
<v Speaker 2>away from Thanksgiving and it is it is cold as

18
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.560
<v Speaker 2>hell outside. I mean, like I knew it was cold,

19
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:09.040
<v Speaker 2>it was going to be colder. I mean I I

20
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:12.640
<v Speaker 2>was trying to to you know, each day I check

21
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:14.159
<v Speaker 2>the weather because I got to figure out, Okay, what

22
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>am I going to put on my kids? Like can

23
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:17.120
<v Speaker 2>they go kind of light? Do we got to put

24
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.120
<v Speaker 2>a hoodie on sometimes, you know, because the moose wants

25
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:23.560
<v Speaker 2>to always wear shorts if you can. And this morning

26
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:24.879
<v Speaker 2>I saw that it was going to be, you know,

27
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.879
<v Speaker 2>in the fifties. In fact, Saturday is also going to

28
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.239
<v Speaker 2>be I think the high is like fifty two, which

29
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 2>is going to be cold by the time that game

30
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.280
<v Speaker 2>kicks off and certainly when it ends. But anyways, I

31
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:39.680
<v Speaker 2>never check like wind chill or anything like that. I mean,

32
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.120
<v Speaker 2>I kind of like in the summer, I just look

33
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.000
<v Speaker 2>at the temperature. I don't really look at the heat index.

34
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.760
<v Speaker 2>But I was out and about running errands today and

35
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.040
<v Speaker 2>I thought to myself, Man, maybe I'm getting soft because

36
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:55.120
<v Speaker 2>it's it feels a lot colder than fifty degrees. Like

37
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:56.920
<v Speaker 2>this is crazy, Like I'm going to be in for

38
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.560
<v Speaker 2>a really really rough winter if I'm already this, you know,

39
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:05.599
<v Speaker 2>miserable with these conditions. And even I think I don't

40
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 2>know if it was around. I think it was around

41
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:09.439
<v Speaker 2>like I don't know, eleven o'clock or something like that,

42
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:12.120
<v Speaker 2>and we had like legitimately, I don't know if it

43
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.400
<v Speaker 2>was snow. I don't know if it was sleet. It

44
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>wasn't rain, it was something and it was melting as

45
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:17.759
<v Speaker 2>soon as it hit my windshield. But like it was

46
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.000
<v Speaker 2>coming down. In fact, now I see we've got a

47
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 2>chance for some snow later this evening, right around the

48
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.479
<v Speaker 2>time the show ends. So anyways, I end up thinking like, man,

49
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.719
<v Speaker 2>this is this is this is awful, and then pull

50
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:30.719
<v Speaker 2>my phone out and see that, like the windshield today

51
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 2>at times was like twenty one degree. So that's why

52
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:35.120
<v Speaker 2>it felt so bad out there. Are you a fan

53
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:37.039
<v Speaker 2>of the cold weather? Austin used to live in Arizona,

54
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 2>so I would imagine you probably hate.

55
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:38.840
<v Speaker 4>The cold weather.

56
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, no, I would well, Ever, since moving here and

57
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.000
<v Speaker 5>finding out what like actual humidity is more or less

58
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.639
<v Speaker 5>sort of hated the summertime. I don't love it when

59
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.680
<v Speaker 5>it's freezing. This is I mean, I guess still freezing,

60
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:54.319
<v Speaker 5>but you know, like frigid ten I don't love that.

61
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:55.520
<v Speaker 4>But I'm fine with the cold.

62
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I want I want snow if I'm gonna if

63
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:02.960
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be really cold outside, and we haven't, I

64
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:06.080
<v Speaker 2>feel like we've had pretty mild winters in the last

65
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:10.439
<v Speaker 2>couple of years as far as like actual snow we have.

66
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:13.719
<v Speaker 2>I feel like there's been at least one big storm

67
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:15.599
<v Speaker 2>that did kind of you know, put school out for

68
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 2>a while in the last two summer and in the

69
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:20.759
<v Speaker 2>last two winters, I think we've had like one big,

70
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 2>one big thing that that did feel like okay winters here.

71
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:26.439
<v Speaker 2>This is because, I mean, who doesn't like when we

72
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.120
<v Speaker 2>get a little snow right Like it's it's it's you know,

73
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 2>it's gross when it melts and all that kind of stuff,

74
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.120
<v Speaker 2>and you don't want anything to keep you from from

75
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:35.120
<v Speaker 2>going where you want to go and all that. But like,

76
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.120
<v Speaker 2>I like the thought of being snowed in, especially around

77
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Christmas time a little earlier than than than I would

78
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:43.800
<v Speaker 2>want it as far as where we are today, but.

79
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.800
<v Speaker 5>It captures the aura of the whole winter time that

80
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:47.599
<v Speaker 5>we're in right now.

81
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:51.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, so again cold today, but uh you know,

82
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 2>you know how that changes here in the in the

83
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Derby City. I'm trying to find a way to shift

84
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.719
<v Speaker 2>some like encouragement for people to not be bothered by

85
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.639
<v Speaker 2>the cold weather arriving and maybe you know, keeping them

86
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 2>from going to the game on Saturday.

87
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.599
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean, even if thought the cold is going

88
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:09.919
<v Speaker 5>to do that, yeah, I mean, as other things probably

89
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:10.599
<v Speaker 5>keeping them from that.

90
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>I think there's a lot of factors. Yeah, I mean,

91
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.000
<v Speaker 2>this has turned into the kind of game where you

92
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:16.800
<v Speaker 2>really and look, you know, I don't want to get

93
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.519
<v Speaker 2>into the whole attendance conversation today, but I do hope

94
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:23.279
<v Speaker 2>that there's a good turnout on Saturday for obvious reasons. One,

95
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:25.040
<v Speaker 2>you always want that, but also it's senior Day, and

96
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.959
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of guys who aren't dudes who came

97
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:29.839
<v Speaker 2>here for their six or seventh year. These are guys

98
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.360
<v Speaker 2>who played here for a long time and were part

99
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 2>of both the end of the Saturnfield era and the

100
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Bram era, and it's their last chance playing in front

101
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:38.920
<v Speaker 2>of a home crowd here at Louisville. So for that

102
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.839
<v Speaker 2>reason specifically, I really hope that there's a lot of

103
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:47.439
<v Speaker 2>people out there. But when it comes to guessing the

104
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:49.480
<v Speaker 2>attendance and like what kind of and I don't mean number,

105
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:51.079
<v Speaker 2>because I would never be good at looking at a

106
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:53.680
<v Speaker 2>crowd in a football stadium more a basketball arena and

107
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:55.720
<v Speaker 2>just telling you the amount you know, roughly the amount

108
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:56.360
<v Speaker 2>of fans that are there.

109
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:56.480
<v Speaker 3>Now.

110
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.639
<v Speaker 2>Again, if you know the actual capacity and it's full

111
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:01.439
<v Speaker 2>or to it, then you could probably guess a little

112
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:07.000
<v Speaker 2>bit better. But anyways, games like Austin p Jacksonville State

113
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.680
<v Speaker 2>in football and in basketball teams like Morehead State and

114
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.199
<v Speaker 2>Bellerman Bellerman maybe not because they are kind of local,

115
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.480
<v Speaker 2>but like Winthrop tomorrow night here in the Young Center.

116
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Those are games where like I don't say it often

117
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:21.720
<v Speaker 2>and it doesn't matter, and i'd love to be wrong,

118
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.639
<v Speaker 2>but like I kind of know, or maybe I should say,

119
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:26.759
<v Speaker 2>I kind of expect to for it to be a

120
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.720
<v Speaker 2>pretty light crowd and even lighter like if the team's

121
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 2>not good or they're really struggling. So yeah, and I

122
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.240
<v Speaker 2>don't say that it's criticism. I think anytime you talk

123
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:40.240
<v Speaker 2>about attendance or lack of people there, it's like you're

124
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:43.079
<v Speaker 2>insulting a fan base. And I get why people see

125
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.720
<v Speaker 2>it that way, but I never mean it like that,

126
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:50.800
<v Speaker 2>because I think games against teams that don't move the needle,

127
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:53.279
<v Speaker 2>that keep people from investing their hard earned money in

128
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.480
<v Speaker 2>giving up their valuable time when they could still watch

129
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.000
<v Speaker 2>it at home or maybe keep up with it doing

130
00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.560
<v Speaker 2>something else. In fact, if you know, if they've got

131
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:01.639
<v Speaker 2>a life. And I don't say if you go to games,

132
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:02.959
<v Speaker 2>you don't have a life, but you know what I mean,

133
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.560
<v Speaker 2>So I get why people don't go to those kind

134
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.040
<v Speaker 2>of games, So it's not criticism, it's just reality. And

135
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.240
<v Speaker 2>if there ever ends up being big crowds for those

136
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:15.279
<v Speaker 2>kind of games, I'm happily wrong. And then there's the

137
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.160
<v Speaker 2>games that are on the complete other side, like when

138
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Louisville plays Tennessee and basketball in November. There's gonna be

139
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:23.560
<v Speaker 2>a good crowd there, especially with the momentum that Pat

140
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:25.879
<v Speaker 2>Kelcey entered the season with. As far as just morale.

141
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, when you play Miami in football like you

142
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.800
<v Speaker 2>did earlier this year, that game sold out, like Louisville does.

143
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Like I know, I have a pretty good feeling when

144
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.279
<v Speaker 2>it comes to the first types of games I mentioned,

145
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:42.319
<v Speaker 2>nobody teams not expected to be, you know, a great challenge.

146
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:44.319
<v Speaker 2>And then on the other side, it may be a

147
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.879
<v Speaker 2>big challenge. You may lose big, but you're playing somebody

148
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.879
<v Speaker 2>big and it matters. Therefore there'll be people there. Where

149
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:52.240
<v Speaker 2>I have no clue as far as what to expect

150
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:53.800
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to attendance is when it falls in

151
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:55.680
<v Speaker 2>the middle, And I kind of think that's where we

152
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:59.319
<v Speaker 2>are with this Pittsburgh game, because had you not lost

153
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.839
<v Speaker 2>to Stanford, I mean, I think you'd be in a

154
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.240
<v Speaker 2>better spot to get people to come to your game.

155
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:08.040
<v Speaker 2>If I'm being honest with you, I don't know. But again,

156
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:10.560
<v Speaker 2>even if you would have beat Stanford, I could still

157
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.240
<v Speaker 2>see the pit game, you know, Pitt not being a

158
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:14.000
<v Speaker 2>great team. There's really not a whole lot you're playing

159
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.079
<v Speaker 2>for at this point. The weather's not going to be great.

160
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.959
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I could see that being a game that

161
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.759
<v Speaker 2>would be you know, who knows no clue what to

162
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:25.480
<v Speaker 2>expect even if you did beat Stanford. But you didn't,

163
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:27.800
<v Speaker 2>and you put together what I believe is the most

164
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 2>embarrassing loss we've probably ever seen from Louisville football as

165
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:33.879
<v Speaker 2>far as how it happened. So then you know, you

166
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.399
<v Speaker 2>consider that which does matter, and then the weather and

167
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:39.000
<v Speaker 2>the opponent, and they're just not really being a whole

168
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:41.839
<v Speaker 2>lot on the line here. I mean, I mean, I'm

169
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:43.279
<v Speaker 2>not telling you it's going to be terrible crowd, but

170
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:44.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't expect it to be a great crowd either

171
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:46.800
<v Speaker 2>it or probably somewhere in the middle. But I would

172
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.399
<v Speaker 2>hope that because it's senior Day, you do end up,

173
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:53.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, hopefully that can be the kicker for you

174
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:55.160
<v Speaker 2>if you are in fact on the edge and you

175
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.800
<v Speaker 2>don't know if you want to go or not. But

176
00:07:57.920 --> 00:07:59.759
<v Speaker 2>I'll be there. I don't know if that's gonna make

177
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:01.560
<v Speaker 2>you want to be there, but I'll be there with

178
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.040
<v Speaker 2>with my with my wife and uh and my my son.

179
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:06.959
<v Speaker 2>I think we're gonna think my nephew and my sister

180
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.360
<v Speaker 2>are gonna go too, so we're gonna go. So it's

181
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna be a whole coffee shop. So you think that

182
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:13.519
<v Speaker 2>you think that incentivized people.

183
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:15.040
<v Speaker 5>To go, now, absolutely, I think I want to go

184
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:16.160
<v Speaker 5>even more now there we go.

185
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Like, well, if any anything to help, because I know

186
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:21.439
<v Speaker 2>people get really really upset if they see empty seats

187
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:23.600
<v Speaker 2>when they go to games. And again that's never I

188
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:27.319
<v Speaker 2>never say that to act like a tendants isn't important,

189
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:29.959
<v Speaker 2>but like it's really not a to me. I think

190
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.519
<v Speaker 2>it's a result of society and just people not doing

191
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:36.120
<v Speaker 2>things the way they used to. We evolve as human beings,

192
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.440
<v Speaker 2>that's more. It's more of that than it is any

193
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.960
<v Speaker 2>anybody's fault. Now, again, there's things you can do to

194
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.399
<v Speaker 2>help it, and that you know, be good. Obviously, you

195
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.759
<v Speaker 2>want to have success. That's that's the most important thing.

196
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:48.039
<v Speaker 2>If you have a good team, there's gonna be more

197
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:49.720
<v Speaker 2>people within your fan base that want to get out

198
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:52.799
<v Speaker 2>and see them. But also you can't schedule teams like

199
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:55.879
<v Speaker 2>Morehead State. And I mean again, I shouldn't say like

200
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:57.399
<v Speaker 2>you can't do it, No you can. I'm just saying

201
00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:59.399
<v Speaker 2>like you can't. You can't have that on the schedule

202
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:01.639
<v Speaker 2>and think that that that alone is going to be

203
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.360
<v Speaker 2>enough for eighteen to nineteen thousand people to go closely

204
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.279
<v Speaker 2>fill up your basketball arena. It's just not the way

205
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.080
<v Speaker 2>it is. Again, it's nobody's fault. It's just again, things change.

206
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:14.480
<v Speaker 5>Now. We know Moose loves the games. How does how

207
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:16.679
<v Speaker 5>does Maya taking games? She a really big fan of it.

208
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:19.600
<v Speaker 5>She's not gone to a game this year. She has

209
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:24.440
<v Speaker 5>been to She's been to a Louisville basketball game, and

210
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:28.200
<v Speaker 5>she has also she's also been to I believe one

211
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:30.879
<v Speaker 5>of the spring games she went to, So you know,

212
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:34.840
<v Speaker 5>she she's probably like a lot of kids where you know,

213
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:37.399
<v Speaker 5>seeing everything is kind of cool and then you know

214
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:39.840
<v Speaker 5>within the within a few minutes and she's ready to go.

215
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.320
<v Speaker 5>So she doesn't get into the action or anything like that.

216
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:45.559
<v Speaker 5>And in fact, no, she went to Louisville live and

217
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.279
<v Speaker 5>she had a good time. But but you know that

218
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:51.120
<v Speaker 5>was like a big that was a big to do, right,

219
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:53.000
<v Speaker 5>like it wasn't a basketball game, it was really an

220
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.360
<v Speaker 5>event where they got the five, they got the pyro out,

221
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:58.559
<v Speaker 5>they've got you know, there's really a performance in a

222
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:00.399
<v Speaker 5>show that it is a basketball game. So there's a

223
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.039
<v Speaker 5>lot of lights going down and yeah, and that kind

224
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:04.000
<v Speaker 5>of got to her a little bit.

225
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:06.120
<v Speaker 2>But that, honestly, I think you see less of that

226
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:08.320
<v Speaker 2>at games than you do at an event like Louisville Live.

227
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.440
<v Speaker 2>So we just know that if it's gonna be a

228
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.600
<v Speaker 2>really really long day, meaning where we're just gonna be

229
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.039
<v Speaker 2>there for a long time. Which look, that's another part

230
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:19.159
<v Speaker 2>of the whole tendance conversation is if you go and

231
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:21.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, make it a thing like you're giving up

232
00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:24.879
<v Speaker 2>like six hours roughly of your time, and that's not

233
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:26.279
<v Speaker 2>easy for a lot of people. So when it comes

234
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.240
<v Speaker 2>to that, we just, you know, we tell Maya we're

235
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:30.200
<v Speaker 2>going and she can go play with her gammy or

236
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:32.679
<v Speaker 2>she can go she can go with a friend or

237
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:35.679
<v Speaker 2>something like that. And she understands Now she's old enough

238
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:37.399
<v Speaker 2>to where she's like, yeah, I kind of feel like

239
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm being left out, but you know what, I don't

240
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:44.639
<v Speaker 2>want to go like survived, Yeah exactly exactly, So all right, Uh,

241
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:46.720
<v Speaker 2>let's uh, let's dive in. Shall We've got a lot

242
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:48.480
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna get into today. We're gonna be talking coming

243
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:50.039
<v Speaker 2>up here at four oh five with the one and

244
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:52.960
<v Speaker 2>only Ken Spencer from w h AS eleven. Looking forward

245
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.240
<v Speaker 2>to chatting with him. Also, we've got our first UH

246
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:59.840
<v Speaker 2>point spread in the Governor's Cup game. I guess welling

247
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:03.320
<v Speaker 2>F one. But it's been in and out as far

248
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.799
<v Speaker 2>as being available on different sports books, and the line

249
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.120
<v Speaker 2>has relatively stayed the same. Louisville is currently favored by

250
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.159
<v Speaker 2>two and a half in that game, in the Governor's

251
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:12.879
<v Speaker 2>Cup Game, So what I want to do? And again,

252
00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:15.039
<v Speaker 2>I know you've got Pittsburgh coming up this weekend. Kentucky's

253
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.120
<v Speaker 2>going to be taken on Texas, but we're getting close enough,

254
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:19.759
<v Speaker 2>and in fact, because of the holidays, we don't even

255
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:21.799
<v Speaker 2>have that many show like it's not a normal week

256
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:26.080
<v Speaker 2>for us on the air. So I've got some updated thoughts,

257
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:29.399
<v Speaker 2>some belated thoughts if you will, on this matchup as

258
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.120
<v Speaker 2>of now, And again I think it's not too early

259
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:32.720
<v Speaker 2>to do it, given the fact that we know who

260
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:36.919
<v Speaker 2>both these teams are right now, and you know, whatever

261
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:40.159
<v Speaker 2>happens between Texas and Kentucky as well as Louisville and

262
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Pitt probably won't have any real impact on that Governor's

263
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:45.399
<v Speaker 2>Cup game unless you know, somebody gets hurt, which, of

264
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.399
<v Speaker 2>course you know could always happen, so we'll get into that. Also,

265
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:54.279
<v Speaker 2>college football playoff rankings. I'm kind of not like I'm

266
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.360
<v Speaker 2>not over it, but it went from like, man, this

267
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.600
<v Speaker 2>is really interesting to sit back and see like all

268
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:03.159
<v Speaker 2>of these different scenarios that could somewhat realistically play out

269
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:06.799
<v Speaker 2>that would really cause chaos, and now it's just like

270
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:08.840
<v Speaker 2>it's I feel like, you know, if you're somebody like

271
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:12.519
<v Speaker 2>myself who does enjoy that, it's just an echo chamber

272
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:14.919
<v Speaker 2>for us, because everybody else is in their own world

273
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.519
<v Speaker 2>just yapping and screaming about the Big ten in the SEC.

274
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:21.080
<v Speaker 2>How could you say that these teams in the Big

275
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.919
<v Speaker 2>ten are remotely good enough to be top six in

276
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.720
<v Speaker 2>the SEC and to be to be fair on the

277
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Big ten side, I'm not really hearing anybody saying that,

278
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:32.879
<v Speaker 2>Like they believe the Big ten is substantially better. They

279
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.679
<v Speaker 2>just want the games to matter, and that's and I

280
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.039
<v Speaker 2>do side with them on that. So we got a

281
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:40.399
<v Speaker 2>loaded show. We'll let you guys, be a part of

282
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:41.919
<v Speaker 2>the show today if you'd like. Five oh two five

283
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:43.879
<v Speaker 2>to seven one seventy nine hundred is the number. If

284
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:45.039
<v Speaker 2>you want to give us a calle. You can also

285
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:47.200
<v Speaker 2>text in on the Ellen and Federal Credit Union text

286
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.960
<v Speaker 2>line at five O two six five three zero seven

287
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:54.000
<v Speaker 2>ninety so. One thing I wanted to uh to to

288
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.200
<v Speaker 2>start with here, and you know, I'm glad we're thirteen

289
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:57.799
<v Speaker 2>ish minutes in now because I don't want it to

290
00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:59.879
<v Speaker 2>seem like, you know, this was so important that we

291
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:02.399
<v Speaker 2>needed to, you know, lead the show with it as

292
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:05.039
<v Speaker 2>some huge topic. But it is something that has been

293
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.720
<v Speaker 2>discussed in the last I don't know month or so,

294
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:12.519
<v Speaker 2>and that's Louisville football high school recruiting. And today Louisville

295
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:16.679
<v Speaker 2>lost another one of their commitments from the twenty twenty

296
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.440
<v Speaker 2>five class. And you know, that's that's something, you know,

297
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.679
<v Speaker 2>that's something you never want to see, right, that's not

298
00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:27.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's not good news, but that had, you know,

299
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:31.039
<v Speaker 2>that piece of news coming out today. And then also

300
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.960
<v Speaker 2>people realizing that Louisville is ranked dead last in the

301
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:36.720
<v Speaker 2>ACC in high school football recruiting for twenty twenty five.

302
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:40.679
<v Speaker 2>And you know Louisville losing the way they did against

303
00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:43.559
<v Speaker 2>Stanford on Saturday, and even before that game, you already

304
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:45.440
<v Speaker 2>kind of felt was that this team had underwhelmed a

305
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:47.960
<v Speaker 2>little bit. Any goodwill that you got from the Clemson

306
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.240
<v Speaker 2>game kind of felt like it went away quickly because

307
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:53.000
<v Speaker 2>the Clemson game gave you the benefit of the doubt.

308
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:55.480
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, we're losing. We've got three losses, which I

309
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:57.080
<v Speaker 2>don't like. But man, they're the good teams. We're still

310
00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:58.320
<v Speaker 2>really good. Look at us, we just went on the

311
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:00.200
<v Speaker 2>road to meet Clemson. Well, then when you lose to

312
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:02.519
<v Speaker 2>Stanford like that, it's kind of out the window. I mean,

313
00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:04.799
<v Speaker 2>you still be Clemson, and that's great, but you're back

314
00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:06.559
<v Speaker 2>to where the fans, I think, view this as a

315
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.120
<v Speaker 2>team that is just really frustrating to watch because they

316
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:11.799
<v Speaker 2>should be better, They should be able to be playing

317
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:13.960
<v Speaker 2>cleaner football this late in the year. So look, all

318
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:17.320
<v Speaker 2>of that is, you know, a bunch of not good stuff, right,

319
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:19.840
<v Speaker 2>But I happen to think that if Uliver would have

320
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:22.799
<v Speaker 2>went out there and won by six touchdowns against Stanford,

321
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:24.840
<v Speaker 2>which they easily could have, if they got their head

322
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:27.639
<v Speaker 2>out of their ass, to be honest with you, and

323
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:29.559
<v Speaker 2>you felt like, okay, wow, Like we may end up

324
00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:31.960
<v Speaker 2>actually being a top fifteen team in the College Football

325
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Playoff when it's all said and done. As far as

326
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:38.360
<v Speaker 2>the rankings, like, I don't think anybody would be really

327
00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:41.159
<v Speaker 2>paying attention to high school football recruiting or even giving

328
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:44.399
<v Speaker 2>much of a care about this kid decommittee, because you know,

329
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:47.559
<v Speaker 2>what happens on Saturdays really is going to dictate how

330
00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:49.919
<v Speaker 2>fans are going to view certain things, if that makes sense,

331
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:53.279
<v Speaker 2>And clearly Saturday was embarrassing. So I feel like the

332
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:55.399
<v Speaker 2>noise in regards to the high school football recruiting for

333
00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Brohm has been louder this week than ever, and

334
00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:04.159
<v Speaker 2>obviously today getting that news, it's not great. So what

335
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:07.639
<v Speaker 2>I want to say is this being ranked dead last

336
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:10.559
<v Speaker 2>in the ACC in high school recruiting is like there's

337
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:12.600
<v Speaker 2>no way to say, oh, that's who cares. I mean,

338
00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:15.639
<v Speaker 2>that's a tough look, even though high school football recruiting

339
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.559
<v Speaker 2>clearly is not as important as it once was. Like

340
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:21.440
<v Speaker 2>you never want to be dead last, I mean in

341
00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:24.000
<v Speaker 2>anything when it comes to me. So you know, that's

342
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:29.399
<v Speaker 2>not a good look. But depending upon how they put

343
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:32.679
<v Speaker 2>these rankings together, it may not be nearly as worrisome

344
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.480
<v Speaker 2>because a lot of times these rankings are based off

345
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:41.480
<v Speaker 2>of quantity more so than quality. And Louisville they don't

346
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.960
<v Speaker 2>even have that many kids committed now, which again isn't good,

347
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:46.000
<v Speaker 2>but like that may be that Like, if you've got

348
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.240
<v Speaker 2>a really small class but the average is like high

349
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:51.519
<v Speaker 2>three star, maybe some somehow low four star, you may

350
00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:55.120
<v Speaker 2>be ranked substantially lower than a class that has a

351
00:15:55.159 --> 00:16:00.360
<v Speaker 2>bunch of mid three stars that you know. I'm not

352
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:02.600
<v Speaker 2>going to tell you that doesn't matter, but like doesn't

353
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:05.679
<v Speaker 2>really tell the whole story. That's what I will say. Also,

354
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:08.799
<v Speaker 2>you have to look at who is decommitting. I mean

355
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:13.759
<v Speaker 2>today it's running back Jalen Brown, who I guess had

356
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:16.320
<v Speaker 2>try to see when he actually did commit because I

357
00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:19.200
<v Speaker 2>feel like he'd been committed for a while. But he's

358
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.519
<v Speaker 2>a running back, and right now Louisville has two freshmen

359
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:24.720
<v Speaker 2>running back that you know, and obviously Isaac Brown's had

360
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:27.000
<v Speaker 2>a monster season, but Duke Watson's been pretty good too.

361
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:29.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he came in and played really well in

362
00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Brown's absence at Stanford, and throughout the year he's been good.

363
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:34.159
<v Speaker 2>Like Louisville, you could make the case, and I'm not

364
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:36.600
<v Speaker 2>saying that like it'll be this way when it's all

365
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:38.919
<v Speaker 2>said and done, like when their careers end, but right now,

366
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:41.000
<v Speaker 2>because these guys are getting real reps as freshmen, you

367
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:44.320
<v Speaker 2>could argue that Louisville easily has the best freshman dual

368
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:48.759
<v Speaker 2>running back to some in Power for. I mean, Isaac

369
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:50.639
<v Speaker 2>Brown is the best freshman running back in the Power for.

370
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:53.039
<v Speaker 2>And I don't think it's because of you know, he's

371
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:54.720
<v Speaker 2>one of few guys that are getting a run because

372
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:56.360
<v Speaker 2>it's rare this day and age to be relied on

373
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:58.679
<v Speaker 2>that much as a true freshman. But both these guys

374
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.679
<v Speaker 2>are So if you're Jay Brown and you're a three

375
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:05.960
<v Speaker 2>star running back, I mean, why would you come here?

376
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:07.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean again, we'd love to have you. I mean

377
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:10.240
<v Speaker 2>obviously Jeff Brom liked him enough you offered him a scholarship,

378
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:12.519
<v Speaker 2>But like makes total sense the kid would would would

379
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:14.559
<v Speaker 2>want to de commit because guys that are just a

380
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:17.200
<v Speaker 2>year ahead of him look as if they've got you know,

381
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:19.119
<v Speaker 2>they stick around at Louisville, that's going to be your

382
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:22.680
<v Speaker 2>backfield for for a long time. So again, that's not

383
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:25.319
<v Speaker 2>good that's not good news. But again, but that's that's

384
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:29.079
<v Speaker 2>that's expected. Like, I don't really know whose fault that is.

385
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:32.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you could save Jeff Brom having two freshmen

386
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:34.559
<v Speaker 2>running back that are here right now that are really good.

387
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:39.279
<v Speaker 2>That's the factor here. So's who you're mad at. Now

388
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:43.240
<v Speaker 2>we'll get into the weeds of it a little bit,

389
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:44.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I know that's not a great tease for

390
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:46.480
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the show, but I do want to

391
00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:48.359
<v Speaker 2>take a look at the twenty four seven sports rankings

392
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:50.359
<v Speaker 2>for high school FRED like to kind of give you

393
00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:53.119
<v Speaker 2>a better explanation as to why Louisville is dead last. Now, again,

394
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:54.920
<v Speaker 2>that's not where you want to be. You should be

395
00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:58.240
<v Speaker 2>better than that. Even if you're taking you know, five, six, seven,

396
00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:02.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know however many commits. You shouldn't be dead last.

397
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:06.119
<v Speaker 2>So we can get into that. But Jeff Brom is

398
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:09.119
<v Speaker 2>going to always rely on the portal, and I feel

399
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:12.079
<v Speaker 2>like he has shown so far even with you know

400
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:16.079
<v Speaker 2>what happened Saturday. If you are an offensive player specifically,

401
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:18.599
<v Speaker 2>or I guess especially, I guess you can be defense too.

402
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:21.240
<v Speaker 2>But like, if you're an offensive guy and you're in

403
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:23.359
<v Speaker 2>the portal, you can look at guys who had one

404
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:25.640
<v Speaker 2>two years left that came to Louisville, and they would

405
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:27.480
<v Speaker 2>probably tell you that was a great decision because I

406
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:30.400
<v Speaker 2>really maximize what I could do in Jeff Brohm's offense,

407
00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:33.720
<v Speaker 2>and I think Jeff just personally really does prefer it

408
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:36.240
<v Speaker 2>this way. All right, quick break, we'll come back on

409
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:38.799
<v Speaker 2>the other side. Keep this thing rolling along. Nick Coffee,

410
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Austin Montgomery, It's coffee and Company. I fell about Thorton's

411
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:45.079
<v Speaker 2>right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

412
00:18:54.960 --> 00:19:00.039
<v Speaker 3>From the Fox Sports studios in Los Angeles. Here's mon.

413
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:09.119
<v Speaker 1>Now back to coffee and Company. Fueled by Thornton's on

414
00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:10.839
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

415
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:16.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm embarrassed to ask this, but this is Limbiscuit right, Yes,

416
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:16.559
<v Speaker 2>it's sure.

417
00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:19.960
<v Speaker 5>No, this is the Undertaker, Fred Durst. Yes, yeah, the

418
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:21.640
<v Speaker 5>red cap, the famous red cap.

419
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:25.160
<v Speaker 2>So the reason I asked, Austin, you'll learn this over

420
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:28.960
<v Speaker 2>time is that. But actually, I feel like most of

421
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:31.440
<v Speaker 2>the stuff you've played, I either know know it or

422
00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:33.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know it, meaning like I don't have to

423
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:36.799
<v Speaker 2>question like I don't you know. But with John he

424
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:39.359
<v Speaker 2>would play music to where I would feel confident, like

425
00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:40.920
<v Speaker 2>I know who this is and this is the name

426
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:42.440
<v Speaker 2>of the song, and I'd be like, way off so

427
00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:44.680
<v Speaker 2>after getting it wrong as many times as I did,

428
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:47.319
<v Speaker 2>I decided to start just asking before assuming. But I

429
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:49.680
<v Speaker 2>knew that I knew that sounded like fred Durst. Apparently

430
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:53.640
<v Speaker 2>they're working on a movie, a biopic of him, like

431
00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:59.160
<v Speaker 2>his his story, which initially I thought to myself, I

432
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:00.960
<v Speaker 2>don't know if that'd be that interesting, But then again,

433
00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:03.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, he's had a pretty first of all, when

434
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:04.880
<v Speaker 2>he was in his heyday that was so long ago,

435
00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:06.680
<v Speaker 2>like you were, you had to be like a little

436
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:07.480
<v Speaker 2>bitty kid, right.

437
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:10.079
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, absolutely, My my parents wouldn't let me listen to

438
00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:15.119
<v Speaker 5>his music. This was the chocolate starfish hot dog flavored water, right.

439
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:17.400
<v Speaker 2>I think it's one of the first CDs that I bought,

440
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:21.839
<v Speaker 2>along with Kid Rock's album Ball with the Ball and

441
00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:24.839
<v Speaker 2>that became a big thing, and then Eminem, one of

442
00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:28.160
<v Speaker 2>his first albums was Those were the first CDs that,

443
00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:30.279
<v Speaker 2>like with my money, that I got for birthday or

444
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.240
<v Speaker 2>for Christmas, that I would have that Actually, yeah, I

445
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:37.960
<v Speaker 2>actually went and purchased it. So, yeah, fred Durst, there

446
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:39.640
<v Speaker 2>are things about him. Obviously, I was so young when

447
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:41.759
<v Speaker 2>he was when he was you know, when Limbiscuit became

448
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:43.759
<v Speaker 2>huge around that time, they were big on t r L.

449
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:48.000
<v Speaker 2>And that's like TRL was was a big thing for

450
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:50.119
<v Speaker 2>me whenever I was younger, but you know, I'm not

451
00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:52.680
<v Speaker 2>plugged into like the you know, the news at that age.

452
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:54.480
<v Speaker 2>But I didn't realize like he was a pretty he

453
00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:56.319
<v Speaker 2>was a pretty big a hole. Like yeah, I mean

454
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:00.960
<v Speaker 2>apparently he is. He's believed to have like intentionally well,

455
00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:03.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, it can happen with the type of show

456
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:06.519
<v Speaker 2>that Woodstock is, but whenever it became like a complete mess.

457
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:09.960
<v Speaker 2>The documentary that was on Netflix about Woodstock made it

458
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.480
<v Speaker 2>seem as if like he he kind of got off

459
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:14.079
<v Speaker 2>to the fact that he was going to be the

460
00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:16.319
<v Speaker 2>one that you know, and again that's not a good thing,

461
00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:17.519
<v Speaker 2>but it's rock and it.

462
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:19.279
<v Speaker 4>Started a riot.

463
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:21.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they were just they were just here about a

464
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:23.400
<v Speaker 5>couple of years ago at Louder than Life, and I

465
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:27.119
<v Speaker 5>think that was fresh off of that, that Woodstock documentary,

466
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:30.200
<v Speaker 5>and I feel like everyone was just even more toned

467
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.200
<v Speaker 5>up just because they were expecting something like that. But

468
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:35.559
<v Speaker 5>they're just not the same band that they once were.

469
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:36.359
<v Speaker 1>Now.

470
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:38.559
<v Speaker 4>I personally thought that they sucked. Well. He he had

471
00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:40.559
<v Speaker 4>like a you had like a white afro.

472
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:42.599
<v Speaker 5>Out there, and at one point he was like he

473
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:45.599
<v Speaker 5>was dissing the people like in the back and then

474
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:47.799
<v Speaker 5>you know they had the screens on the on the

475
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:50.319
<v Speaker 5>on the stage. Yeah, they turned the screens off so

476
00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:51.839
<v Speaker 5>you couldn't see it, and there was.

477
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:53.160
<v Speaker 4>He was just making fun of people.

478
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:55.279
<v Speaker 5>If you don't have the time or the money and

479
00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:57.279
<v Speaker 5>you're all the way back there, then that's your e

480
00:21:57.400 --> 00:21:58.799
<v Speaker 5>F and luck or something like that.

481
00:21:58.839 --> 00:22:01.400
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sitting there like, listen, guy, he was like

482
00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:03.720
<v Speaker 2>going after the production people that were messing something up.

483
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:07.119
<v Speaker 4>I think I don't know, I don't I think he.

484
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:10.839
<v Speaker 5>I think he like strictly told them turn this ass off, okay,

485
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:14.720
<v Speaker 5>and and it was just like everyone with them, gotcha.

486
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:16.920
<v Speaker 2>And then he didn't want people following his show through

487
00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:17.279
<v Speaker 2>the screen.

488
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:18.680
<v Speaker 4>Yes, gotcha dude.

489
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Again. That fits with like he seemed just like an

490
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:23.279
<v Speaker 2>a hole, you know what I mean, Like that's what it.

491
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:24.160
<v Speaker 2>That's what it seemed like.

492
00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:26.880
<v Speaker 5>Just think of him, and I just think of the Undertaker,

493
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:29.440
<v Speaker 5>the American Badass coming out to that.

494
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:31.799
<v Speaker 2>Song and you forgot that was one of his theme songs.

495
00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:33.680
<v Speaker 4>Oh you knew business was about to pick up when

496
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:34.319
<v Speaker 4>that limpbisker.

497
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:36.200
<v Speaker 2>That was a good Undertaker error too.

498
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:40.119
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely, you know he debuted that specific character at the

499
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:42.039
<v Speaker 5>Judgment day that was at Freedom Hall.

500
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:44.599
<v Speaker 2>So when that's why I remember it, Yeah, not because

501
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:46.039
<v Speaker 2>I was there, but like I've seen like that. That's

502
00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:49.200
<v Speaker 2>a big moment in WWE events when he returned as

503
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:51.279
<v Speaker 2>kind of a different, a different version of the Taker

504
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:54.839
<v Speaker 2>and he was more of like a Harley Badass, right, Yeah.

505
00:22:54.839 --> 00:22:56.319
<v Speaker 4>I think it came out chewing a dip.

506
00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:58.559
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and then you could see the Freedom Hall sign

507
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:01.559
<v Speaker 5>in the back as he's gonna go Oak Slam Stephanie mixed, Yeah.

508
00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:04.519
<v Speaker 2>And it is cool to see that whenever you'll, you know,

509
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:07.279
<v Speaker 2>on TikTok or Instagram. For me, I'll be scrolling through

510
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:10.279
<v Speaker 2>reels and TikTok videos and I guess it's just the

511
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:12.400
<v Speaker 2>algorithm's hit to where like I occasionally see a lot

512
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:16.240
<v Speaker 2>of old Attitude era WWE stuff, and there's certain moments

513
00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:18.160
<v Speaker 2>that are that's one of them that are pretty big.

514
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:21.279
<v Speaker 2>They get shared a lot throughout that space of wrestling

515
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:24.839
<v Speaker 2>fans online, but two of them have that same it

516
00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:27.279
<v Speaker 2>actually might actually be the same event, but you see

517
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Freedom Hall right there, and you know it's nostalgic, it

518
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:31.160
<v Speaker 2>really is.

519
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:34.559
<v Speaker 5>And with that moment apparently like there was some sort

520
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:37.839
<v Speaker 5>of production mess up to where people I mean, as

521
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:40.119
<v Speaker 5>they had the vignettes, you know, vignettes when they lead

522
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:42.599
<v Speaker 5>up to like this Superstars coming up, a lot of

523
00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:44.440
<v Speaker 5>people were kind of putting two and two together that

524
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:46.880
<v Speaker 5>this was going to be the Undertaker or well, people

525
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:49.680
<v Speaker 5>heard the motorcycle going for about a couple of minutes,

526
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:52.200
<v Speaker 5>and the Undertaker like missed his cue by like a

527
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:55.759
<v Speaker 5>solid minute. So the finish of that match was completely

528
00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:58.480
<v Speaker 5>hurried up and kind of actually people were actually pissed

529
00:23:58.519 --> 00:24:00.400
<v Speaker 5>about it. But there were a lot of people that

530
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:04.480
<v Speaker 5>heard the motorcycle like minutes before like his vignette hit,

531
00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:06.359
<v Speaker 5>and oh my god, someone's about to come to the ring,

532
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:08.400
<v Speaker 5>and people said that they heard it and he missed

533
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:09.680
<v Speaker 5>a que anyways.

534
00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:09.640
<v Speaker 6>So.

535
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:13.160
<v Speaker 2>You would And for those who don't know, Austin is

536
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:15.720
<v Speaker 2>a big time wrestling guy, that's right. So are you

537
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:19.279
<v Speaker 2>somebody that was as big of a fan of Undertaker

538
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:22.480
<v Speaker 2>as like his when he to me, he's still believed

539
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:24.200
<v Speaker 2>to be like one of the best wrestlers ever, right

540
00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:27.000
<v Speaker 2>of course, Now do you think that's justified? I wouldn't know,

541
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:29.920
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not asking, like you know that is that

542
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:31.640
<v Speaker 2>legit or is that not legit because.

543
00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:33.519
<v Speaker 5>He's not on my Mount Rushmore, but he is. He's

544
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:34.759
<v Speaker 5>one of the top five legends.

545
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:35.000
<v Speaker 6>Ever.

546
00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:37.640
<v Speaker 2>Is it Is it based off like longevity.

547
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:40.079
<v Speaker 4>Longevity and kind of character?

548
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:42.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, because again I think his character's cool, but like

549
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:45.200
<v Speaker 2>to me, it doesn't fit up there with the others

550
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.400
<v Speaker 2>that I that I that I believe and also think

551
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:50.480
<v Speaker 2>are up you know that that are that are put

552
00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:52.319
<v Speaker 2>in that same tier that everybody in wrestling puts him.

553
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:54.119
<v Speaker 2>And again I'm not anti Taker. I think he's great,

554
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:57.119
<v Speaker 2>but I just never understood what make what got him

555
00:24:57.160 --> 00:24:59.680
<v Speaker 2>to be as popular as like that top tier.

556
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:02.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it was just it was longevity, It was a

557
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:06.200
<v Speaker 5>style that he that he worked, and it was also

558
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:09.799
<v Speaker 5>his loyalness to the business, at least lowness to WWEE

559
00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:15.720
<v Speaker 5>because yeah, Netflix series, Oh yeah, he's he's huge, huge

560
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:19.880
<v Speaker 5>Vince McMahon guy, and he's just that. That was actually

561
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:21.799
<v Speaker 5>when he came out with that, He's actually been on

562
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:24.720
<v Speaker 5>record saying he was scared to come out rather than

563
00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:26.960
<v Speaker 5>something than the dead Man. He didn't think that fans

564
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:28.920
<v Speaker 5>would buy it, just because last time he was seen

565
00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:32.359
<v Speaker 5>on television was like a zombie character. So that was

566
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:34.400
<v Speaker 5>a huge leap forward for him to try that, and

567
00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:36.680
<v Speaker 5>he's just kind of grown his character to make sense

568
00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:38.559
<v Speaker 5>in almost every generation that he's been in.

569
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's been huge. And my favorite thing ever on

570
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:43.559
<v Speaker 2>the Internet with the Undertaker is whenever he was doing

571
00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:46.039
<v Speaker 2>cameos for people and this is one of them.

572
00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:50.440
<v Speaker 6>I mean, you should give your mom a big hug

573
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:52.680
<v Speaker 6>and tell it's from the Undertaker.

574
00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Like, that's the best clip I've ever heard in my life.

575
00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Imagine sending like that. I mean, first of all, getting

576
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:02.039
<v Speaker 2>the Undertaker Cami is in him and him in character.

577
00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:04.160
<v Speaker 2>It's just funny to me. I mean not to insult him,

578
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:06.200
<v Speaker 2>but like, that's just funny. But you know, call your

579
00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:08.799
<v Speaker 2>grim that that. I mean, this is it gets no

580
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:09.359
<v Speaker 2>better than this.

581
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:13.640
<v Speaker 6>You should give your mom a big hug and tail

582
00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:14.960
<v Speaker 6>it's from the Undertaker.

583
00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:17.960
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome. I wonder what my mom would do when

584
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:18.759
<v Speaker 2>I gave her a hue, a.

585
00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:21.400
<v Speaker 6>Big hug and tail it's from the Undertaker.

586
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:23.680
<v Speaker 4>Mom. That wasn't for me, that was from the Undertaker.

587
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:24.240
<v Speaker 4>I love it.

588
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:26.119
<v Speaker 2>Good stuff, all right, So let's go to the text line.

589
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Five OO two six five three zero seven ninety is

590
00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:32.160
<v Speaker 2>the number. If you guys want to text in and

591
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:35.440
<v Speaker 2>this text says, Nick, don't you think that if you

592
00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:39.000
<v Speaker 2>are known for just being reliant upon the portal, it'll

593
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:42.160
<v Speaker 2>make it harder for freshmen to commit to you. Yes,

594
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:43.720
<v Speaker 2>and just to reset for those that joined us a

595
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:46.359
<v Speaker 2>little bit late. The Louisville football recruiting rankings have been

596
00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:49.279
<v Speaker 2>discussed and understandably, so I don't want to make it

597
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:51.799
<v Speaker 2>sound as if you know it shouldn't be discussed, but

598
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:55.440
<v Speaker 2>I just I think Louisville struggling this year at times,

599
00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:57.759
<v Speaker 2>and especially coming off the most embarrassing loss I can

600
00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:00.720
<v Speaker 2>think of in Louisville history, You're going to hear more

601
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:02.960
<v Speaker 2>noise in regards to like, hey, what the hell's going

602
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:06.680
<v Speaker 2>on with this class? They keep losing commitments and they're

603
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:12.319
<v Speaker 2>ranked dead last in the ACC. So to answer your question, yeah,

604
00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:15.880
<v Speaker 2>it could potentially make it harder for you to be

605
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:20.640
<v Speaker 2>able to, I guess bring in a big class. But

606
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:22.880
<v Speaker 2>you know what, like if somebody's out there, if there's

607
00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:25.640
<v Speaker 2>coaches out there that are telling recruits, hey, I wouldn't

608
00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:28.440
<v Speaker 2>go to Louisville because Jeff brom he doesn't trust freshman. Freshman,

609
00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:30.519
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't He's going to rely only on the portal.

610
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:32.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean I would I would hope that a coach

611
00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:35.720
<v Speaker 2>would do that. So then when the recruit brings it

612
00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:37.559
<v Speaker 2>up to Jeff Brom, he could point to Isaac Brown

613
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:39.960
<v Speaker 2>and Duke Watson. I mean those are guys that again,

614
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:44.000
<v Speaker 2>there's other running backs on this team that you know

615
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:47.759
<v Speaker 2>are veterans. Now, Maurice Turner getting hurt, I mean I

616
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:50.759
<v Speaker 2>hate that, and Brom probably would have given him the

617
00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:52.240
<v Speaker 2>good run. He was going to be the starter. But

618
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:54.720
<v Speaker 2>at the same point in time, like, I think it's

619
00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:56.880
<v Speaker 2>worked out well because you now you had to rely

620
00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:58.920
<v Speaker 2>on the young guys, probably a little more than you

621
00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:01.640
<v Speaker 2>maybe wanted. Although I always felt like Jeff Brom knew

622
00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:04.799
<v Speaker 2>he had something really special with with Isaac Brown, and

623
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:07.440
<v Speaker 2>he was right. As far as Duke Watson, maybe he's

624
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:10.880
<v Speaker 2>benefited from Maurice Turner getting hurt, but either way, I mean,

625
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Donald Cheney's been he's been, you know, serviceable at times,

626
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:18.480
<v Speaker 2>but like that's a veteran who transferred from Miami, who

627
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:21.279
<v Speaker 2>was pretty productive in his career at Miami, and now

628
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:24.039
<v Speaker 2>he's taken a back seat to one freshman and arguably

629
00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:26.079
<v Speaker 2>too when you consider what Duke Watson has shown as

630
00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:28.559
<v Speaker 2>of late, so you know you're always going to have

631
00:28:28.759 --> 00:28:32.000
<v Speaker 2>negative recruiting against you. And it's and I'm actually glad

632
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:33.599
<v Speaker 2>you brought that up because that is something I hadn't

633
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:35.160
<v Speaker 2>really thought about. That if you are a guy that

634
00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:39.440
<v Speaker 2>really does rely on the portal and it's known, then

635
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:42.920
<v Speaker 2>if you're recruiting some high school kids, you know that

636
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:45.680
<v Speaker 2>can be weaponized against you by their programs. But if

637
00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:47.079
<v Speaker 2>they're going to do that, they can't do it about

638
00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:49.839
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Brom at least not this year because he's I mean,

639
00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:52.759
<v Speaker 2>he's playing freshman if they're good enough to play, and

640
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:55.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure that's what he's going to sell these guys. Yeah,

641
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:56.759
<v Speaker 2>we really we'd love to have you. In fact, you

642
00:28:56.759 --> 00:28:59.200
<v Speaker 2>could mean you're always selling when it comes to recruiting, right,

643
00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:01.720
<v Speaker 2>You could easily and say, oh, yeah, we are going

644
00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:05.119
<v Speaker 2>to rely on the portal because you know, that's our style,

645
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:07.119
<v Speaker 2>that's how we want to do it. We've been successful,

646
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:10.480
<v Speaker 2>it works. But we also recruit a handful of high

647
00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:14.079
<v Speaker 2>school players that we really think are good good enough

648
00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:17.240
<v Speaker 2>to help us, So we're being selective and we want you.

649
00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:19.640
<v Speaker 2>So maybe you could be that next freshman that plays

650
00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:23.079
<v Speaker 2>alongside a team of mostly veterans and really makes a

651
00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:25.839
<v Speaker 2>name for yourself. So again, you can always spin it

652
00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:30.039
<v Speaker 2>a different way. So right now Louisville's class, they've got

653
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:34.079
<v Speaker 2>eleven commitments in the twenty twenty five class. This comes

654
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:37.119
<v Speaker 2>after they got a d commitment earlier today, which we

655
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:39.960
<v Speaker 2>discussed earlier in the show. A running back a freshman,

656
00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:44.119
<v Speaker 2>an incoming freshman in twenty twenty five as a running back, Yeah,

657
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:45.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean I would decommit too. In fact, I would

658
00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:48.640
<v Speaker 2>question the kid if he didn't decommit because of both

659
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:52.759
<v Speaker 2>Isaac Brown and Duke Watson. Now the other de commits.

660
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:56.000
<v Speaker 2>You did lose one of your better defensive commitments. I

661
00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:00.119
<v Speaker 2>think it was to Indiana. He actually visited. I think

662
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:02.440
<v Speaker 2>he visited, did he Yeah, I think when Louisville played

663
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:07.079
<v Speaker 2>Miami instead of visiting like most of the class did

664
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:09.440
<v Speaker 2>that day for the game, he ended up taking a

665
00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:11.920
<v Speaker 2>visit to IU and then he flipped his commitment I

666
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:14.079
<v Speaker 2>believe about a week ago. So again, you know you're

667
00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:16.480
<v Speaker 2>losing a kid to an in home state or an

668
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:18.920
<v Speaker 2>in home program that has a lot of momentum right now,

669
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:21.480
<v Speaker 2>and with in Kurt Signetti. So again I'm not telling

670
00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:24.400
<v Speaker 2>you that like you shouldn't you know, this is a

671
00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:27.039
<v Speaker 2>good thing, but you know, it happens, It really does.

672
00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:30.079
<v Speaker 2>And one thing I wanted to bring up really quickly

673
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:31.920
<v Speaker 2>before we get to our next break, when it comes

674
00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:37.039
<v Speaker 2>to Brahm's philosophy, Like, you know, I think he's going

675
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:39.839
<v Speaker 2>to try to utilize the portal like every other coach,

676
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:42.920
<v Speaker 2>But I also think he's gonna be on the top

677
00:30:43.039 --> 00:30:48.119
<v Speaker 2>end as far as really you know, not worrying about

678
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:50.079
<v Speaker 2>numbers and just saying, hey, if I like what this

679
00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:52.079
<v Speaker 2>kid can do, if I've seen him on tape, if

680
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm familiar with him, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna try

681
00:30:54.920 --> 00:30:56.240
<v Speaker 2>to go get him because he can make us better.

682
00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Like I don't think he's going to so to say,

683
00:30:58.279 --> 00:31:03.400
<v Speaker 2>all right, i'm gonna bring in this class of you know,

684
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:05.720
<v Speaker 2>a handful of players. How I mean, maybe you're gonna

685
00:31:05.720 --> 00:31:07.440
<v Speaker 2>bring in twelve thirteen freshman which will be a really

686
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:08.839
<v Speaker 2>really small class. And by the way, right now they

687
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:11.880
<v Speaker 2>only have eleven and we're going to retain our roster,

688
00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Like he's not going to just base it off of Okay,

689
00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:17.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna take twenty percent, this, thirty percent that, because

690
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:20.079
<v Speaker 2>you just never know, and in fact, I also think

691
00:31:20.119 --> 00:31:22.000
<v Speaker 2>that he is probably you know, I'm sure there are

692
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:25.160
<v Speaker 2>guys that are going to transfer or have already transferred

693
00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:27.559
<v Speaker 2>out that he didn't want to see leave, but he's

694
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:30.319
<v Speaker 2>probably not going to again. This is a lot of

695
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:32.519
<v Speaker 2>coaches say this. I think this is just just personality.

696
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:35.160
<v Speaker 2>He knows that there's really nothing that could be done

697
00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:37.359
<v Speaker 2>about it. So if a kid decides he wants to leave,

698
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:40.799
<v Speaker 2>instead of I think sulking and like feeling like man,

699
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:44.680
<v Speaker 2>this is, you know, in complaining about where college sports

700
00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:46.319
<v Speaker 2>are right now, like a lot of coaches are doing,

701
00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:48.960
<v Speaker 2>He's just gonna go to the portal and go find

702
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:51.519
<v Speaker 2>somebody that maybe is even better than who he lost.

703
00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:55.200
<v Speaker 2>So you know, you're gonna you're gonna have a little

704
00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:57.279
<v Speaker 2>bit of everything. I would I would imagine just like

705
00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:01.440
<v Speaker 2>most schools, you're gonna have some true You're gonna have

706
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:05.319
<v Speaker 2>players that you retained from your roster, and then you're

707
00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:07.519
<v Speaker 2>gonna have guys that left because they hit the portal,

708
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:10.319
<v Speaker 2>or they graduated, or maybe they went to the NFL,

709
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:13.079
<v Speaker 2>and then you go fill those spots with guys from

710
00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:16.920
<v Speaker 2>the portal, and it'll probably be a different number in

711
00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:19.480
<v Speaker 2>each of those three categories. Every year, but I would

712
00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:21.680
<v Speaker 2>always think that, just knowing what I know about Brom,

713
00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:24.839
<v Speaker 2>I think he's probably gonna lean towards that bigger number

714
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:27.440
<v Speaker 2>being new transfers that came in. You know, he was

715
00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:30.319
<v Speaker 2>during the Notre Dame game, I think it was. It

716
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:35.240
<v Speaker 2>was on Peacock and who's the former Austin Helman. Who's

717
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:38.400
<v Speaker 2>the former Cowboys coach that's now no longer a coach,

718
00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:42.960
<v Speaker 2>he's a broadcaster. Oh, Jason Garrett. Jason Garrett. Yeah, So

719
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Jason Garrett was doing color in that game, and he

720
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:47.160
<v Speaker 2>was talking about how Tyler Schuck had gotten off to

721
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:49.160
<v Speaker 2>such a good start, and you know, during a conversation

722
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:51.519
<v Speaker 2>with coach Browm this week, he really taught you know

723
00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:54.359
<v Speaker 2>again he was mentioning the conversation he had with Brom

724
00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:57.160
<v Speaker 2>about Chuck and how much he loves that, he's hungry,

725
00:32:57.160 --> 00:33:01.599
<v Speaker 2>he's experienced, and there was something clearly like it wasn't

726
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:03.279
<v Speaker 2>like he was trying to break news, but it was

727
00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:06.119
<v Speaker 2>just something he brought from the conversation, and he said

728
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:08.319
<v Speaker 2>that Brom told him he loves doing that and he

729
00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:11.240
<v Speaker 2>will continue to do that. So I was kind of,

730
00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:13.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, surprised more people didn't notice that was said,

731
00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:15.720
<v Speaker 2>because you know that would lead you to think, Okay,

732
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:17.440
<v Speaker 2>well it's Pierce Clark's never gonna get to play here.

733
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:18.799
<v Speaker 2>And to be honest with you, I'm not sure if

734
00:33:18.839 --> 00:33:21.960
<v Speaker 2>he is or not. But I think with Jeff, if

735
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:25.400
<v Speaker 2>he sees a quarterback that he knows, you know, can

736
00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:28.559
<v Speaker 2>help and somebody that's experienced, somebody that he really thinks, okay,

737
00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:30.640
<v Speaker 2>imagine what I could do with this guy's arm in

738
00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:32.559
<v Speaker 2>our offense, he's gonna go get him. I don't. And

739
00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:34.680
<v Speaker 2>he may have a guy coming back that you feel

740
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:37.720
<v Speaker 2>good about because he was you know, he's a returning starter,

741
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:41.559
<v Speaker 2>or maybe maybe because you know, maybe because you know

742
00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:44.400
<v Speaker 2>he was the backup and showed showed some really good

743
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:46.440
<v Speaker 2>upside in a game where he played because the other

744
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:48.359
<v Speaker 2>guy was injured. I just think it's gonna be hard

745
00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:50.480
<v Speaker 2>for Brom to not look at the portal every offseason

746
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:52.599
<v Speaker 2>and go get a quarterback if you can, regardless of

747
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:55.400
<v Speaker 2>the situation. All right, quick break, we'll come back here

748
00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:57.880
<v Speaker 2>on the other side. Keep this thing rolling along as

<v Speaker 2>we wrap up at three o'clock hour. Don't go anywhere,

750
00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:03.279
<v Speaker 2>and I mean it, don't move. Stay exactly where you are.

751

754
00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:11.000
<v Speaker 2>no excuse is to not be locked in with us

755
00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:13.280
<v Speaker 2>for the next two hours and change right here on

756

<v Speaker 2>Sports Talk seven ninety.

757
00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:20.679
<v Speaker 1>I'll back to coffee and Company fueled by Thornton's on

758
00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:26.679
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

759
00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:30.519
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get back to it, shall we. Coffee

760
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:33.760
<v Speaker 2>and Company fueled by Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

761
00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:36.920
<v Speaker 2>So I was just a little distracted as we came

762
00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:39.920
<v Speaker 2>back from break there because I was thinking to myself, Okay,

763
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:41.719
<v Speaker 2>Hube Brown, who, by the way, for those who didn't

764
00:34:41.719 --> 00:34:45.800
<v Speaker 2>hear the news, he will be retiring from broadcasting after

765
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:48.760
<v Speaker 2>this upcoming season. And I know a lot of people

766
00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:51.559
<v Speaker 2>don't really listen or I'm sure I don't know if

767
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:53.280
<v Speaker 2>you're listening to the NBA, but I know a lot

768
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:55.119
<v Speaker 2>of people aren't watching it like they once were, which

769
00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:56.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't even think it's worth making it a thing

770
00:34:56.880 --> 00:34:58.719
<v Speaker 2>to discuss on the show. But for those who missed

771
00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:00.599
<v Speaker 2>that news, NB, if you were sure, is down, and

772
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:02.559
<v Speaker 2>it really doesn't surprise me in any way but for

773
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:05.280
<v Speaker 2>those who did not know about Huey Brown, He's he's

774
00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:08.199
<v Speaker 2>been a broadcaster here and there for a long long time.

775
00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:12.199
<v Speaker 2>But I listened. I watch enough NBA to be able

776
00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:14.320
<v Speaker 2>to listen to him, you know, here and there. It's

777
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:15.960
<v Speaker 2>not like I'm tuning in all the time. But like

778
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:20.079
<v Speaker 2>he always stands out as a really, really good analyst,

779
00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:22.320
<v Speaker 2>and that doesn't happen that often. You could be really good,

780
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:24.440
<v Speaker 2>but for it just you know, and it's just my opinion.

781
00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:26.000
<v Speaker 2>But I know, clearly I'm not the only one that

782
00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:28.519
<v Speaker 2>has this opinion that he's damn good. But he's so

783
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:32.039
<v Speaker 2>he's this good and yet he's ninety one years old.

784
00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:34.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean, think about that. It's one thing to be

785
00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:37.320
<v Speaker 2>able to still do that. There are broadcasters in their

786
00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:41.679
<v Speaker 2>seventies late sixties that, like, you hope that they get

787
00:35:41.679 --> 00:35:44.360
<v Speaker 2>out soon because they've fallen off so much. This dude

788
00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:47.639
<v Speaker 2>is in his bag still and he's ninety one years old.

789
00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:53.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's amazing. He's pretty beloved in the NBA,

790
00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:55.199
<v Speaker 2>it seems, because there's a lot of people discussing. I'm

791
00:35:55.239 --> 00:35:56.559
<v Speaker 2>just looking at some of the reaction here from the

792
00:35:56.599 --> 00:36:01.440
<v Speaker 2>report that came out from YAH from ESPN that he's

793
00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:04.360
<v Speaker 2>going to be out after this season and walk away.

794
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:07.280
<v Speaker 2>So I mean, I'm also just jealous, like and I'm

795
00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:09.599
<v Speaker 2>not even talking about like from a broadcaster standpoint, but

796
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:11.800
<v Speaker 2>I would imagine Hughby Brown does this because he loves it.

797
00:36:11.800 --> 00:36:13.519
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't need to do it, but he loves it. He's

798
00:36:13.559 --> 00:36:17.039
<v Speaker 2>a basketball junkie, he was a coach, and now he's

799
00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:19.840
<v Speaker 2>a broadcaster. That's like his extension of still you know,

800
00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:22.760
<v Speaker 2>that's an extension to still be in the game of basketball.

801
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:25.599
<v Speaker 2>So whatever you do, imagine loving it right. And I'm

802
00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:27.679
<v Speaker 2>very fortunate, and I mean this sincerely they'd be able

803
00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:29.079
<v Speaker 2>to do something that I love. But I know a

804
00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:32.079
<v Speaker 2>lot of people don't. You know, that's just life, So

805
00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:33.960
<v Speaker 2>I realize how fortunate I am. So, but if you

806
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:38.599
<v Speaker 2>are somebody like myself, imagine being able and wanting to

807
00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:40.599
<v Speaker 2>do it and still be really good at it until

808
00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:43.800
<v Speaker 2>you're ninety one years old. Like big time jealous of

809
00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Huby Brown. If we could all be that lucky and

810
00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:49.599
<v Speaker 2>he was a I mean again, I remember him coaching

811
00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:51.920
<v Speaker 2>when I was really young. I remember, and they may

812
00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:54.840
<v Speaker 2>still do this, but I don't know if they did

813
00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:56.559
<v Speaker 2>it towards the end of my days of being a

814
00:36:56.599 --> 00:36:59.199
<v Speaker 2>big card collector. But I used to get packs of

815
00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:02.840
<v Speaker 2>basketball cars words when I was a kid, and some

816
00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:04.960
<v Speaker 2>of them would have coaches cards, and I would always

817
00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:06.719
<v Speaker 2>be very underwhelmed, like why would I want to coach

818
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:09.320
<v Speaker 2>his card? And I remember Hube Brown, a young Hubie Brown,

819
00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:12.800
<v Speaker 2>coaching the Atlanta Hawks on one of the cards that

820
00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:14.639
<v Speaker 2>I had, and no offense to him, but I'm pretty

821
00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:16.639
<v Speaker 2>sure I gave it away to somebody who was collecting

822
00:37:16.679 --> 00:37:18.280
<v Speaker 2>coaches cards, and I'm thinking, why would you want to

823
00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:21.239
<v Speaker 2>do that? But he, you know, he's more so known

824
00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:24.360
<v Speaker 2>as a broadcaster, but that's not necessarily just because he's

825
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:29.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, that's not because he's a guy that you know,

826
00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:33.000
<v Speaker 2>was terrible at coaching. So he found his lane in broadcasting.

827
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:35.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean he by the way, he coached the Kentucky

828
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:37.119
<v Speaker 2>Colonels in the mid seventies around here, which they won

829
00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:40.079
<v Speaker 2>the ABA Finals. That team did in nineteen seventy five.

830
00:37:40.760 --> 00:37:43.599
<v Speaker 2>But he coached for the Atlanta Hawks, the New York Knicks,

831
00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:47.239
<v Speaker 2>and then he came back after sixteen years and took

832
00:37:47.239 --> 00:37:51.280
<v Speaker 2>the Memphis Grizzlies jobs. In Memphis Grizzlies job in two

833
00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:57.760
<v Speaker 2>thousand and two. Yeah, So this is somebody that has

834
00:37:57.320 --> 00:38:01.239
<v Speaker 2>an overall record in the NBA that is above five

835
00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:04.079
<v Speaker 2>hundred and he did it many many years. But yet

836
00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I still think he's more so known for broadcasting because

837
00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:08.480
<v Speaker 2>he also did that a long time, but he's also

838
00:38:08.559 --> 00:38:11.559
<v Speaker 2>really good at it. So shout out to ub Brown.

839
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:14.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why. He's one of those guys that,

840
00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:17.960
<v Speaker 2>for some reason when people say hubi or they turned

841
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:20.920
<v Speaker 2>the h into a y u b Yeah.

842
00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:24.000
<v Speaker 4>Ub I always said Hubi.

843
00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:26.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, me too, Like I never see Hubie and say ubi.

844
00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:29.559
<v Speaker 2>But there's some people that like there's other words. It's

845
00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:32.960
<v Speaker 2>like a New York thing. There's certain things Patino said

846
00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:36.000
<v Speaker 2>where I would think, why are you emphasizing a why

847
00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:39.480
<v Speaker 2>there instead of an eight? You know, just just sounded

848
00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:42.079
<v Speaker 2>kind of odd. But anyways, shout out to Hube Brown.

849
00:38:42.199 --> 00:38:44.480
<v Speaker 5>I think of the NBA Finals broadcast when I hear

850
00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:46.239
<v Speaker 5>hub Brown. He's always been good at that.

851
00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:49.800
<v Speaker 2>He's a legend, man, he really is. All right, coming

852
00:38:49.880 --> 00:38:51.159
<v Speaker 2>up here at four or five, we're going to be

853
00:38:51.199 --> 00:38:53.159
<v Speaker 2>chatting with the one and only Ken Spencer from w

854
00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:56.159
<v Speaker 2>h AS eleven. Looking forward to doing that. We do

855
00:38:56.280 --> 00:39:00.920
<v Speaker 2>that each and every week. So this is say this.

856
00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:03.280
<v Speaker 2>This came in earlier on the show whenever I was

857
00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:04.880
<v Speaker 2>talking about one of the first texts that came in

858
00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:06.840
<v Speaker 2>today on the Ellen and Federal Credit Union text line

859
00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:10.519
<v Speaker 2>is a question about selling tickets or giving away tickets,

860
00:39:10.559 --> 00:39:13.000
<v Speaker 2>because we were discussing this being a game for me,

861
00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:15.719
<v Speaker 2>and it's just my opinion. There are certain games where

862
00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:17.360
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, yeah, there's not going to be many

863
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:19.199
<v Speaker 2>people there at all, and I understand why, and then

864
00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:21.039
<v Speaker 2>tho's other games where I'm like, Okay, yeah, this will

865
00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:23.400
<v Speaker 2>this will this will be a big turnout, maybe a sellout,

866
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:25.280
<v Speaker 2>like the Miami game in football. But then there's all

867
00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:26.639
<v Speaker 2>kinds of games that are in the middle to where

868
00:39:26.679 --> 00:39:29.320
<v Speaker 2>it really just depends upon little things like is it

869
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:31.679
<v Speaker 2>competing with the music festival? Is the weather good? Is

870
00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:35.159
<v Speaker 2>the team? You know? Are they playing good despite maybe

871
00:39:35.199 --> 00:39:37.280
<v Speaker 2>playing an opponent you're not worried about. I think that's

872
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:39.199
<v Speaker 2>where this pit game comes in. And I'm worried because

873
00:39:39.599 --> 00:39:42.360
<v Speaker 2>the weather being cald, it being cold, what happened at

874
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:45.119
<v Speaker 2>Stanford last week, Like I worry that we probably will

875
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:47.400
<v Speaker 2>see a crowd to where those who get really bothered

876
00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:50.360
<v Speaker 2>by attendants, they're going to be very bothered. But this

877
00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:55.400
<v Speaker 2>text says, Nick, somebody created a post on a message

878
00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:57.599
<v Speaker 2>board saying, you said on your show that you're not

879
00:39:57.639 --> 00:39:59.760
<v Speaker 2>allowed to give away tickets. I listen every day and

880
00:39:59.800 --> 00:40:04.719
<v Speaker 2>never heard that. Can you confirm so you might listen

881
00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:07.239
<v Speaker 2>every day? And that's awesome and if so, I appreciate it,

882
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:09.679
<v Speaker 2>and it's nice to know that. I'm still occasionally, I guess,

883
00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:12.320
<v Speaker 2>appearing on message boards. I mean usually they say really

884
00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:14.920
<v Speaker 2>mean things about you know, radio people there, and I,

885
00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:16.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, I had to stay away from them because

886
00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:18.760
<v Speaker 2>I didn't, you know, I didn't. I can't can't have

887
00:40:18.760 --> 00:40:21.440
<v Speaker 2>my ego getting too damaged. So if they're you know,

888
00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:23.199
<v Speaker 2>they're still talking about me on there, I guess that's

889
00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:25.920
<v Speaker 2>that's that's a good thing. But anyways, if you listen

890
00:40:25.920 --> 00:40:28.119
<v Speaker 2>every day, great. I did slip it in, but I

891
00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:31.800
<v Speaker 2>don't remember it being like a long form topic and

892
00:40:31.800 --> 00:40:34.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't even remember how it came. Oh yeah, it

893
00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:36.719
<v Speaker 2>was probably when we were talking attendance. And I'm always

894
00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:39.519
<v Speaker 2>trying to, you know, bail out of the conversation whenever

895
00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:42.039
<v Speaker 2>we talk attendants because I don't really think like I mean,

896
00:40:42.280 --> 00:40:44.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it. I mean, you both things can

897
00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:47.119
<v Speaker 2>be true. Yes, you want your your games full every

898
00:40:47.239 --> 00:40:50.519
<v Speaker 2>time you open your doors, but that's just not realistic.

899
00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:55.440
<v Speaker 2>And whenever there are games where the crowd is very light. Again,

900
00:40:55.480 --> 00:40:57.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying that's great, but I just don't. I

901
00:40:57.360 --> 00:40:59.400
<v Speaker 2>don't see it as an issue as an issue that

902
00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:01.880
<v Speaker 2>that means some one did something wrong. I just see

903
00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:03.519
<v Speaker 2>it more so as like, yeah, I get it. It's

904
00:41:03.639 --> 00:41:07.639
<v Speaker 2>it's you know, Popcorn State and it's a Tuesday at

905
00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:10.360
<v Speaker 2>nine or something, or it's you know noon and it's

906
00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:12.679
<v Speaker 2>one hundred degrees outside and you got Murray State in town.

907
00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:15.400
<v Speaker 2>Like I just I get it. But yeah, I mentioned

908
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:19.880
<v Speaker 2>how I tried to give away tickets to Louisville games

909
00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:23.159
<v Speaker 2>and Louisville events and I was told by Lirifield that

910
00:41:23.199 --> 00:41:26.440
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't allowed to. So yeah, I mean it didn't

911
00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:28.119
<v Speaker 2>come up on the show because I was raising Hell, oh,

912
00:41:28.119 --> 00:41:29.599
<v Speaker 2>here's what it is. It was about. It was about

913
00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:32.320
<v Speaker 2>prices of tickets, That's what it was. Because everybody was

914
00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:34.599
<v Speaker 2>trying to get basketball tickets to the Tennessee game. But

915
00:41:34.679 --> 00:41:37.280
<v Speaker 2>even the game like before that against Morehead State, in

916
00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:41.719
<v Speaker 2>the game before that against Small uh yeah, Spalding, you know,

917
00:41:41.840 --> 00:41:44.280
<v Speaker 2>like it was insanely expensive to just go get tickets

918
00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:47.119
<v Speaker 2>on the Universe on the school website. So then I mentioned,

919
00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:48.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, I've I've tried to give away tickets and

920
00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:50.400
<v Speaker 2>they won't let me. So it wasn't you know, but

921
00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:51.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean it to me. I think it's petty and

922
00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:54.679
<v Speaker 2>I think it's silly, but it's the truth. I'm not

923
00:41:55.159 --> 00:41:56.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm not trust me. I'm not bringing it up on

924
00:41:56.559 --> 00:41:58.760
<v Speaker 2>the show to get people like they should really give

925
00:41:58.760 --> 00:42:00.679
<v Speaker 2>away tickets. I mean, I think they should, but you know,

926
00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:03.039
<v Speaker 2>it's their choice. And again, Learfield pays a lot of

927
00:42:03.039 --> 00:42:04.800
<v Speaker 2>money to UL to be able to say, hey, we

928
00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:06.400
<v Speaker 2>own the rights to do that, and you got to

929
00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:09.239
<v Speaker 2>go through us, so more power to them. All right,

930
00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:11.679
<v Speaker 2>quick break again, two more hours left. We're going to

931
00:42:11.679 --> 00:42:13.119
