Speaker 1: It's time for Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2: Holy crap, I don't know who the hell we think
Speaker 2: when we.
Speaker 1: Are get off our show, idiot. The kids are playing
Speaker 1: or turn at the countries.
Speaker 3: Are screwing it up.
Speaker 1: Gold Play Inner Murals, Brother, gold Play Inner Murals.
Speaker 2: They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not.
Speaker 1: Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here?
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Now? Here's Nick coffee? All right,
Speaker 2: let's get this thing started. Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome in
Speaker 2: to a Thursday edition of Coffee and Company, fueled by
Speaker 2: Thornton's right here on Sports Talk seven ninety. I feel
Speaker 2: like I'm flying blind. I feel like I'm kind of
Speaker 2: naked to start the show, which I'm not, although I
Speaker 2: did just probably give you a mental visual there and
Speaker 2: you're welcome. But my headphones were tangled up. My ear
Speaker 2: Here we go, Here we go? All right, now I
Speaker 2: can hear myself. My headphones got all tangled up. But
Speaker 2: I didn't want to delay the start of the show
Speaker 2: any longer because I'm ready to get this thing started today.
Speaker 2: I'm getting not nervous, I'm not nervous about this Louisville
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech game because you know, I kind of feel
Speaker 2: like when you don't really know exactly I mean. Look,
Speaker 2: I'll say it, my confidence in this game for Louisville
Speaker 2: is really based solely off of me being a Louisville
Speaker 2: fan and me believing in my team and my coach,
Speaker 2: because realistically speaking, we haven't seen Louisville in any way
Speaker 2: be tested, as we've talked about all week and even
Speaker 2: last week, So I don't know if you could be
Speaker 2: nervous when you truly have zero clue like what the
Speaker 2: I mean. I guess you can still be nervous, but
Speaker 2: you know, if Louisville ends up playing a close game
Speaker 2: in losing, I'll be disappointed. But I'm not even sure
Speaker 2: if I would be able to say I'm like stunned
Speaker 2: because Georgia Tech, I think is shown to be a
Speaker 2: pretty good team.
Speaker 3: Louisville.
Speaker 2: I think they are a good team, but I don't
Speaker 2: know that for sure yet, and that's why we got
Speaker 2: to see what happens in this test. I think the
Speaker 2: best way to describe this, John is I'm anxious for
Speaker 2: this game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I felt the exact same way last week
Speaker 1: when Indiana was going to be traveling the UCLA. Obviously
Speaker 1: they had a lot of good, you know, good reaction
Speaker 1: from the first two weeks, but that was the first
Speaker 1: real test for them, like are they maybe not the
Speaker 1: real deal, but are they taking that step forward with
Speaker 1: a new head coach. And now this is Louisville's chance
Speaker 1: to see if they're going to continue to be what
Speaker 1: they hope is a really good season under Jeff Brahmin
Speaker 1: their second year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I've tried my best to not give off,
Speaker 2: not that any of you would really care. I mean,
Speaker 2: I mean, I hope you care of my opinion. That's
Speaker 2: why you listen to the show. Hopefully you find entertainment
Speaker 2: and how wrong I can be at times with my opinion,
Speaker 2: but like, I'm not down on Louisville. I'm not doubting them.
Speaker 2: It's not even like I'm somebody did a good job
Speaker 2: yesterday on the text line sort of you know playing psychologists,
Speaker 2: which hey I need that. I need all the mental
Speaker 2: help I can get psychologist, you know, therapist, whatever, But
Speaker 2: maybe like the reason I keep overdoing it as far
Speaker 2: as like hey, everybody, chill out, I'm not I'm not
Speaker 2: saying I'm not confident. I'm not saying I'm like worried.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's like, actually, maybe that's a tell you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, the deep dewn I am, But I
Speaker 2: won't internally let myself realize that that's the case.
Speaker 1: I think you feel like you shouldn't be worried about this.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, absolutely, that's I mean, that's that and and
Speaker 2: I'm not worried. I just I don't think Georgia Tech's
Speaker 2: a good enough team that they could come in here
Speaker 2: and win if Louisville doesn't play well, you know, And
Speaker 2: I think they will play well, hopefully they play better
Speaker 2: than well. They hopefully they play really good. And it's
Speaker 2: a really nice start to acc action for the Cards.
Speaker 2: But I'm really impressed with Brent Key. I mean I
Speaker 2: have been really since even since last year when he
Speaker 2: got them, you know, heading in the right direction in
Speaker 2: his first season, and in our conversation yesterday with Chad
Speaker 2: Bishop from the Atlanta Journal Constitution, I think even I
Speaker 2: honestly feel like I'm even more impressed with him after
Speaker 2: that just just kind of getting to me. There's some
Speaker 2: similarity with him and Brahm as far as how they
Speaker 2: get their guys ready to play. There's not a whole
Speaker 2: lot of I mean, and I think this is kind
Speaker 2: of the new age for college coaches. You can't really
Speaker 2: be the old school. You know, let me break them down, Like,
Speaker 2: you know, you can be hard on players, you can
Speaker 2: demand a lot out of them, you can challenge them,
Speaker 2: but the days of like being able to just completely
Speaker 2: manipulate them and just you know, trying to think of
Speaker 2: the right way to describe it without acting like you're
Speaker 2: abusing players. But like, guys will just leave now if
Speaker 2: you do that, So you got to be relatable. You've
Speaker 2: got to be genuine. And these players can sense that. Man,
Speaker 2: they can and you used to be able to really
Speaker 2: just lie to them and mislead them and maybe maybe
Speaker 2: show them a side of you that wasn't you for
Speaker 2: ninety percent of the time while you're recruiting them. But
Speaker 2: then when they get to campus, they're stuck with you.
Speaker 2: They're stuck there. They can't leave, they don't want to
Speaker 2: go sit out, they're not you know, they're not making
Speaker 2: any money because it wasn't an IL at that time.
Speaker 2: So you know, like I think there's some similarities there,
Speaker 2: and I think. I mean, and the numbers prove it.
Speaker 2: This team under Brent Key is really good in these spots,
Speaker 2: and there's not a humongous amount of data to run
Speaker 2: with because again, this is Brent Keys. What is this?
Speaker 2: So Georgia Tech's played three games?
Speaker 3: Is that right?
Speaker 2: Four games? Yeah? They've is that right?
Speaker 3: Four?
Speaker 1: They played in week zero and they haven't had a
Speaker 1: bye week. Yeah, that's okay, that's why, that's why it
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. But yes, so they've played four games.
Speaker 1: He coached thirteen last year, so he's seventeen games into
Speaker 1: his tenure as a head coach at Georgia Tech. And
Speaker 1: you know, let me just pull up the numbers here
Speaker 1: to reference. You know, he's he's been really good in
Speaker 1: these spots. Yeah, so he's thirteen and three against the
Speaker 1: spread with ten outright wins as an underdog. So that
Speaker 1: tells you that he's really good at not only covering,
Speaker 1: but he's actually won ten times as an outright underdog
Speaker 1: in acc action. So I mean, that doesn't mean he's
Speaker 1: going to do it this time around. I mean it's
Speaker 1: happened before. He has three games where he didn't win
Speaker 1: and didn't cover. But like he's good at getting his
Speaker 1: team ready for this opportunity to and again because we
Speaker 1: don't know for sure how good Louisville is, and we
Speaker 1: won't know for sure. I mean, louisvill will only have
Speaker 1: played three games after Saturday, so at that point it's
Speaker 1: even still gonna be tough to determine.
Speaker 2: Okay, where is this team. It'll be the first test
Speaker 2: and we'll see how they do. But like, this will
Speaker 2: be a monumental win for Georgia Tech, and I think
Speaker 2: Brent Kee can realistically pitch that to his guys. Going
Speaker 2: in and beating a top twenty team on the road
Speaker 2: would be massive for them. And they already have a
Speaker 2: loss that they probably feel like they shouldn't they shouldn't have.
Speaker 2: They came out flat against QS, which is understandable given
Speaker 2: the fact that they went across the pond to go
Speaker 2: play Florida State in Week zero. A lot of emotion
Speaker 2: involved there with the high that comes with it. They bounce,
Speaker 2: They come back and end up winning a tough game
Speaker 2: against Georgia State, who has an SEC win under their
Speaker 2: belt right now, and that's a ryble for them. So
Speaker 2: then they show up flat to Syracuse and QS puts
Speaker 2: up a bunch of points early in that games give themselves,
Speaker 2: gives themselves a nice leap, but in the second half,
Speaker 2: George Check out played them, outscored them. So I think
Speaker 2: George Check's good. And when I think about that, I
Speaker 2: don't even really think about their win against Florida State.
Speaker 2: I don't, and I know that doesn't look as good
Speaker 2: now as it did when it happened. But like when
Speaker 2: I think of them being good, I think about Brent
Speaker 2: Key being able to get his guys ready to play
Speaker 2: in these kind of games and get some good results
Speaker 2: in fact, winning games as an underdog. But also they
Speaker 2: got some dudes. Man. I mean, I'm not as high
Speaker 2: on Haines King as Tom lougan bill Is, who does
Speaker 2: some work for the ACC network. I mean, he's good.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure I'm ready to say that he's like,
Speaker 2: you know, the second best quarterback in this conference outside
Speaker 2: of cam Ward. But clearly he's good. I mean his numbers.
Speaker 2: Last year, only four quarterbacks had twenty five or more
Speaker 2: touchdowns through the air ten or more touchdowns on the ground.
Speaker 2: And what was the other part of that stat It
Speaker 2: was just in front of me. Where did it go?
Speaker 2: Where are you stat that I was going to use
Speaker 2: to really hype up Haynes King.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So he's one of four quarterbacks that's had at least
Speaker 2: at least twenty five passing touchdowns ten rushing touchdowns and
Speaker 2: the only others that did that. This is what I
Speaker 2: was looking for. The others Jaden Daniels, Caleb Williams, and
Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel. Jamal Harris the running back, I mean, he
Speaker 2: was an All acc selection last year, had over one
Speaker 2: thousand yards. Eric Singleton and Malik Rutherford at receiver. Those
Speaker 2: guys were super productive. I mean Singleton, I mean last
Speaker 2: year he was a first team freshman All American. So
Speaker 2: they got dudes man and defensively they were really bad
Speaker 2: last year and that reared its ugly head for them
Speaker 2: against Syracuse. But they bounced back in the second half
Speaker 2: and played much better. And you got to keep in
Speaker 2: mind the guy that they went out and hired to
Speaker 2: run their defense, Tyler Santucci, it's his first year, is
Speaker 2: the d C at at at Georgia Tech. But he
Speaker 2: comes from a good coaching tree. This is a guy
Speaker 2: who was the d C at Duke for who's the
Speaker 2: guy who left Duke to go to Texas a and
Speaker 2: m Elko. Yeah, he was the d C for Elco,
Speaker 2: which obviously you know that's somebody who runs the defense.
Speaker 2: I mean then Mike Elko is a defensive coach, but
Speaker 2: Santucci's learning under him, and prior to that he was
Speaker 2: he was I think the linebackers coach or maybe the
Speaker 2: secondary coach for Rutgers head coach Shianna, who's really respected
Speaker 2: defensively as as a ball coach. So I think this
Speaker 2: is gonna be a good game. If I had to bet,
Speaker 2: and I'm not gonna bet this game, I would not
Speaker 2: bet Louisville to cover ten and a half. And it's
Speaker 2: not because I'm worried about Louisville. I mean, even if
Speaker 2: I was, it would be it would just be me
Speaker 2: worrying for no reason because while we're we don't know.
Speaker 2: We're gonna find out where this team stands on Saturday.
Speaker 2: But me again, I'm not acting like I'm gonna bet
Speaker 2: against Louisville and bet Georgia Tech to cover here, because
Speaker 2: I wouldn't that. Ever, even if I felt like I
Speaker 2: could make money, I don't know if I could do it,
Speaker 2: but if I was forced to, I would take them
Speaker 2: to cover but it's more out of respect for this
Speaker 2: team than it is Louisville, you know, being not as
Speaker 2: good as the line indicates, and they've been tested, They've
Speaker 2: played some decent teams up to this point and Louisville hasn't.
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean Louisville's not going to be way better
Speaker 2: than them down the line. But in a weird way,
Speaker 2: I feel like September twenty first is actually the opener
Speaker 2: for Louisville. I know that it's not, but it really
Speaker 2: is the first real game. The other two count, but
Speaker 2: they are exhibitions that we get to count as wins
Speaker 2: in the win lost column. So I'm fired up. I'm excited.
Speaker 2: And again it's not nerves. I guess it's just anxiousness.
Speaker 2: The anticipation to kind of see where you stand. That's
Speaker 2: got me fired up. And we're just a couple of
Speaker 2: days away. In fact, we are a little bit under
Speaker 2: forty Iarl, I'm sorry, a little bit over forty eight
Speaker 2: hours away from kicking it off. And just so you know,
Speaker 2: we've got you covered for all your game day coverage,
Speaker 2: we'll have the Louisville Football pregame show hosted by myself
Speaker 2: that'll start at two thirty. It's presented by Pellow Windows
Speaker 2: and Doors of Central Kentucky as well as Jefferson Animal
Speaker 2: Hospital Again two thirty to three thirty. Some good stuff
Speaker 2: I've got planned for that and then kickoffs at three
Speaker 2: thirty and then as soon as the game ends, come
Speaker 2: back right here to Sports Talk seven ninety as we
Speaker 2: react to whatever happens on the Louisville Football postgame show,
Speaker 2: presented by alex Ar White Lawyers, Sue Distracted Driver dot Com.
Speaker 2: So again, just a couple of days away, but hey,
Speaker 2: we're already. It's I mean, the football weekend is starting today.
Speaker 2: We've got football tonight. We've got an NFL game I'm
Speaker 2: excited about, and I'm not excited about, you know, the
Speaker 2: actual game itself, because I really don't have any opinion
Speaker 2: whatsoever in what happens between the Patriots and the Jets.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't care. I'm not a fan of either.
Speaker 2: But I do have some picks that I'll share once again.
Speaker 2: We talked about it yesterday, but you will hear me
Speaker 2: once again. You will hear me. You'll hear me once again,
Speaker 2: share those picks that we're going to do for underdog
Speaker 2: Fantasy and also college football. I mean, I'd be a
Speaker 2: liar if I said I was amped up for the
Speaker 2: South Alabama Appalachian State game tonight. That's the only one
Speaker 2: we get on the college side of things, and I'll
Speaker 2: probably find a way to make some kind of wager here.
Speaker 2: But you know, it's not a great game for Thursday.
Speaker 2: Usually we get some better games on Thursday nights. Although
Speaker 2: South Alabama just a week ago on a Thursday night,
Speaker 2: would they score eighty something points?
Speaker 1: Some sort of record for college football, wasn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they scored more points in an FBS game than
Speaker 2: anybody had in like thirty years. Yeah, like it was
Speaker 2: like since I think since the nineties. Abstate minus seven
Speaker 2: seems like an obvious play here. I feel like South
Speaker 2: Alabama may be getting a little too much credit for
Speaker 2: their performance last week against a team that probably you know,
Speaker 2: doesn't even need to be playing football against FBS teams.
Speaker 2: If you can get beat like that and AB State
Speaker 2: is not, you know what, They're down a little bit
Speaker 2: for who they are. But that place, man, First of all,
Speaker 2: their stadium is unbelievable when it's I mean it's it's smaller,
Speaker 2: of course, but it's in the Mountains Boone, North Carolina,
Speaker 2: and they're gonna be fired up tonight. So I kind
Speaker 2: of love app State minus seven. But I'll come to
Speaker 2: I'll come to some kind of a decision before we
Speaker 2: get to the end of the show today. So before
Speaker 2: we set the table and get you set for the
Speaker 2: rest of the way, I will say, uh, I've not
Speaker 2: been able to stop searching on the Internet, rather it
Speaker 2: be Google, news stations, social media. I mean, this, this
Speaker 2: situation in eastern Kentucky is is insane to me. So
Speaker 2: for those who don't know, they they believe, I mean
Speaker 2: I don't think they have. They haven't confirmed it yet,
Speaker 2: but they believe they have found the body of Joseph Couch.
Speaker 2: In fact, they have, they just haven't been able to
Speaker 2: positively identify him. I guess through like DNA or something
Speaker 2: or and if they have, I'll stay corrected. But we
Speaker 2: all know that's who this is. And the way in
Speaker 2: which it was found is just insane to me. And
Speaker 2: and it it's something out of a movie. It's something
Speaker 2: that you you know, it's something that that you would
Speaker 2: you would see again in a movie. And if you
Speaker 2: were to be writing the story, like you are a scriptwriter,
Speaker 2: or a screenplay. I don't know, if you write movies,
Speaker 2: what do you call John a writer?
Speaker 1: A screenwriter?
Speaker 2: And this is, of course, this is this is not
Speaker 2: based off a true story. It's just something you're putting together.
Speaker 2: And you've got a guy who committed a crazy, heinous,
Speaker 2: awful crime, A lunatic, if you will. I mean, I
Speaker 2: can't diagnose him as that, not I don't have the
Speaker 2: medical chops to do so. But I believe he is uh,
Speaker 2: he's he's clearly a lunatic who you know, tried to
Speaker 2: kill a bunch of people and then ran off into
Speaker 2: the woods, into the wilderness off the interstate, and he's
Speaker 2: been missing nobody, nobody knew where he was for nearly
Speaker 2: two weeks now ten days plus, I guess. And that's
Speaker 2: a scary, scary situation. So I don't want to reset
Speaker 2: the whole thing. But let's just again envision yourself being
Speaker 2: in the room as you're hearing somebody writing out this
Speaker 2: story for a movie, and the cops can't find him.
Speaker 2: There's rewards that are out there, and you're starting to wonder,
Speaker 2: are they ever going to find this guy? Is he
Speaker 2: you know? Is he is he dead somewhere did the
Speaker 2: animals get him, does he have family helping him? And
Speaker 2: then sure enough, they do end up finding his dead
Speaker 2: body in the woods, you know, eaten up by buzzards, decomposed,
Speaker 2: and the cops couldn't get him. You know, They've had
Speaker 2: a lot of resources, but they can't find him. They
Speaker 2: don't know where he is. And in the end, it's
Speaker 2: two random Kentuckians. In fact, let me back up a
Speaker 2: second here, I'm trying to in the end, it's two
Speaker 2: people who own own a hat Field and McCoy Museum
Speaker 2: Adventures business. They do live YouTube stuff, They've got their
Speaker 2: own YouTube show, and they're out there looking for this
Speaker 2: guy themselves and they end up being the ones that
Speaker 2: find him. I mean again, So let's just say you've
Speaker 2: got the story. You now know how he was found,
Speaker 2: who found him, and you're gonna just side which area
Speaker 2: of the country here in the United States this movie
Speaker 2: should be should be portrayed to be in. It's Kentucky
Speaker 2: it is. I mean, this is such a Kentucky story.
Speaker 2: It's crazy. So Fred and Sheila McCoy, who I believe
Speaker 2: live somewhere out in eastern Kentucky. But I don't think
Speaker 2: it's that close to where the body was found. Although
Speaker 2: the body was found very close, it sounds like from
Speaker 2: where this took place. And yet you've got people just
Speaker 2: out live streaming on YouTube for their YouTube channel looking
Speaker 2: in the woods and I'm not even really sure if
Speaker 2: they were looking for the guy, but I mean, just
Speaker 2: absolutely insane. And here is the video as the two
Speaker 2: Kentuckians just out randomly looking for a dead body. I
Speaker 2: guess this is what it sounded like.
Speaker 3: Yes, oh you found him? Oh Mitlanta, I'm coming, Oh
Speaker 3: my Landa, you founding?
Speaker 1: Oh Milanta.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stop it there because there may be a
Speaker 2: curse word that comes in. But then you can see
Speaker 2: on this clip I played, you can see like the
Speaker 2: you know, the outline of his body as far as
Speaker 2: what's left, and he's been eaten up by some kind
Speaker 2: of animal. And I mean, that's got to be him.
Speaker 2: And again, if they have confirmed that he's that that
Speaker 2: it is him, I haven't seen it. I've been in
Speaker 2: on calls the last couple of hours and I haven't
Speaker 2: seen an update. But yeah, how about these two fine
Speaker 2: Kentuckians being the ones who who who found this guy that, Like,
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if law enforcement ever would have found him.
Speaker 2: Maybe they would have, But like I mean, I'll just
Speaker 2: say it, there may be more to it that I
Speaker 2: don't know. I'll admit that it may be unfair of
Speaker 2: me to just say for certain that it's a bad
Speaker 2: look on law enforcement. From what we know, from what
Speaker 2: the public knows right now, this is a terrible look
Speaker 2: on law enforcement, is it not? John? Again, if somebody
Speaker 2: can tell me, wait, well's here's why they couldn't find it,
Speaker 2: and yet these people did. But I can't see a scenario.
Speaker 2: But I'm happy to be corrected if there's something that
Speaker 2: gave these two Kentuckians, Fred and Sheila McCoy who found
Speaker 2: the body in the Daniel Boute National Forest, and they
Speaker 2: claimed that they've been out searching for the last six
Speaker 2: days and it all started as a date night idea.
Speaker 2: That is what they told wkyt oh my, So, how
Speaker 2: is this not a bad look for law enforcement not
Speaker 2: to be able to find if it was really that
Speaker 2: close to the scene where all of this happened. It
Speaker 2: just sounds like it's just a case of the over
Speaker 2: analytical police force that may have just been thinking, okay,
Speaker 2: he could be anywhere now when really it was kind
Speaker 2: of under your nose to begin with.
Speaker 1: I mean, it is crazy.
Speaker 2: That's the first thing that came to mind for me
Speaker 2: is that if he's that close to where all this happened,
Speaker 2: and they've had everything shut down, they've brought in all
Speaker 2: kinds of resources and they couldn't get him, and yet
Speaker 2: these people and I mean, I'm going to assume that
Speaker 2: they will be able to determine that he shot himself
Speaker 2: and killed himself and he's just been sitting out there.
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess there's a scenario where maybe they're
Speaker 2: they just again, I'm trying to give the law enforcement
Speaker 2: folks a benefit of the doubt here, but I don't
Speaker 2: really know how to because I'm thinking, like, maybe, you know,
Speaker 2: it should be more so just the credit to these
Speaker 2: people rather than the law enforcement side of things not
Speaker 2: doing as good of a job. And you know, not
Speaker 2: to take any credit away from maybe nobody would have
Speaker 2: found him other than these two. But the optics of
Speaker 2: this aren't great. And here is here's Fred McCoy after
Speaker 2: this whole thing became big news yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 1: It's important because everybody's been disrupted, of.
Speaker 2: Course, doing that stupid thing again. Let me see if
Speaker 2: I can pull it up here. And all the videos
Speaker 2: that I that I that are are just parts of
Speaker 2: the I mean, I think it's like a twenty five
Speaker 2: to thirty minute YouTube video that that that their episode.
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about their YouTube channel, but apparently
Speaker 2: they do YouTube stuff and this was part of it,
Speaker 2: their their journey, their search.
Speaker 1: But that's crazy though a dayton nin idea. They say
Speaker 1: we haven't. They say we're gonna go find the body
Speaker 1: or try to find the body, and that's their eye.
Speaker 1: I mean, that shows that that's love right there. I
Speaker 1: guess right if you're gonna if you're willing to go
Speaker 1: toe to toe with the wilderness and partaking to run
Speaker 1: to somebody who don't know at the time if he's
Speaker 1: actually dead or alive, that is that's in. That's it's
Speaker 1: it's insane. There's no other way to put it other
Speaker 1: than that.
Speaker 2: I feel like, yeah, and before we let you hear
Speaker 2: this guy himself. The other thing that popped into my head,
Speaker 2: other than like, how in the hell is that these
Speaker 2: people that found him in not law enforcement, was are
Speaker 2: they going to get the reward? Because and this is
Speaker 2: something I got, I kind of went down a rabbit
Speaker 2: hole because I found this to just be you know,
Speaker 2: I found this to just be kind of slimmy. But
Speaker 2: then again, I guess not that surprising in the grand
Speaker 2: scheme of things, if you've got like a big reward
Speaker 2: for apprehending somebody or you know, catching a like if
Speaker 2: you if you if you find something, because they there's
Speaker 2: a reason, they're very specific if you can help lead
Speaker 2: to the arrest of this person, or you can, but
Speaker 2: sometimes it's if you can get like a conviction, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like they can't convict I mean,
Speaker 2: can they convict this guy? He's dead, He didn't he
Speaker 2: won't get a chance for trial, not that he would,
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, so there was apparently some worry
Speaker 2: that they may because he's dead and there's not going
Speaker 2: to be any kind of trial and he's not going
Speaker 2: to be able to be convicted of a crime, that
Speaker 2: they wouldn't be entitled to their money, and I'm thinking
Speaker 2: that's nonsense. And then again then you and then you
Speaker 2: realize that there's actually been some people who did you know,
Speaker 2: do some vigilante work to help law enforcement, and they
Speaker 2: got screwed out of of their of their money. So
Speaker 2: do you know that you have you have a guess
Speaker 2: as far as what they're going to do with this money.
Speaker 1: So they've made a decision they have. I have no
Speaker 1: idea they're going to which they should like. It was good,
Speaker 1: which they should right, they should get every bit of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's important because everybody that same dumb ass thing.
Speaker 1: Is it not the left headphone? Ye?
Speaker 2: So you're hearing it too, Yes, Okay, it's what I thought.
Speaker 2: I just you know, thought, maybe you know. And here's
Speaker 2: what's so stupid. This is the only I could be
Speaker 2: using our terrible setup that we hate, that we never
Speaker 2: want to use, you know, and it wouldn't happen. It's
Speaker 2: just this board. For some reason, it is weird that
Speaker 2: it does that. And everybody you.
Speaker 1: Like, I remember, we try to take the Pat Kelsey
Speaker 1: press conference live, the introductory press conference live from my end,
Speaker 1: and it wouldn't record correctly, would record, but it would
Speaker 1: just do the left headphone thing, similar to what's going
Speaker 1: on with you right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got it. And again, and this is what
Speaker 2: what makes me so frustrated is that this is not
Speaker 2: some crazy piece of sound. It's just I had it readily,
Speaker 2: readily available, only to find out that it won't. And
Speaker 2: here's what's another thing that makes it so stupid is
Speaker 2: that it you know it uh it it will work
Speaker 2: if you're listening on the stream, but if you're listening
Speaker 2: on the radio, it doesn't work like it's it's it's
Speaker 2: so stupid. I don't I don't get it in the podcast. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's so stupid. It will work on the podcast. Yes,
Speaker 2: all right, this this may help us. Yeah, here we go.
Speaker 2: This this will uh, this will make it to where
Speaker 2: you can actually hear it.
Speaker 1: It's here.
Speaker 2: It in its entirety.
Speaker 1: Important because everybody's been disrupted. You have a coward here
Speaker 1: that shot five people out here on a on a
Speaker 1: clift for no reason whatsoever, and uh, this whole community.
Speaker 2: So, I mean, there's more to it, but we need
Speaker 2: to get to a break. Don't go anywhere, keep it
Speaker 2: locked right here. We got a lot to get into today, folks.
Speaker 2: I spend a little more time on that that I
Speaker 2: anticipated because you know, the sound issues. But what a
Speaker 2: wild story. But again, what I want to get to
Speaker 2: here on the other side, more you know, more on
Speaker 2: Louisville football because I'm not gonna call bs, but it
Speaker 2: sounds like Jeff Brohm believes they're gonna have Colin Lacey
Speaker 2: for Notre Dame, which would be huge. I didn't think
Speaker 2: we'd see Colin Lacy at all this year. Also, Mark
Speaker 2: Pope was on KSR this morning. Is they announced they're
Speaker 2: gonna put all of their funds that are brought in,
Speaker 2: all the money the revenue that comes in for their
Speaker 2: Blue White scrimmage is all going to go towards NIL.
Speaker 2: And I'm hopeful Louisville does the same kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: I don't know any I don't know everybody. In fact,
Speaker 2: I don't know any financial situation of any university. But
Speaker 2: like anything these schools can do as an event and
Speaker 2: not take money from it and just put it towards NIL,
Speaker 2: I think that's gonna be pretty common. And I think
Speaker 2: U case done a couple of things here recently that
Speaker 2: I think is a good move when it comes to
Speaker 2: n IL, and I'm hopeful that Louisville can do the
Speaker 2: same thing. Also, we've got another another guy that's out
Speaker 2: here claiming that if his team loses, he's going to
Speaker 2: do something insane. This one's actually even more insane than
Speaker 2: eating was it dog poop.
Speaker 1: From a cup? From a solo cup with a spoon.
Speaker 2: I mean, and that guy never did it. But anyways,
Speaker 2: we're loaded today. Stick with us. It is Coffee and Company.
Speaker 2: We are feel about Thornton's right here on Sports Talk
Speaker 2: seven ninety we got a couple of guys set to
Speaker 2: join us. Today. We'll have our weekly chat with Ken
Speaker 2: Spencer from w h AS eleven coming up here at
Speaker 2: four five, and then at five thirty we'll check in
Speaker 2: with Brian Edwards, a Vegas Insider dot com to get
Speaker 2: you set for another football weekend. We're to be on
Speaker 2: starting today, going on, I guess as we speak, who
Speaker 2: is that?
Speaker 1: Joh that was all sixty with smoking a light? I
Speaker 1: like that sound me too. I don't know a whole
Speaker 1: lot about them.
Speaker 2: Are they are? They well known?
Speaker 1: They are of the newer side. I believe they had
Speaker 1: I believe that song in particular when viral on TikTok
Speaker 1: earlier in this year. Gotcha, they're one of the lower
Speaker 1: tier bands. I guess you could say on today's lineup.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if they are, how low are we
Speaker 2: going here with tier?
Speaker 1: So low tier? I guess I just mean more like
Speaker 1: they're just.
Speaker 2: New Yeah, because I get the sense that like there's
Speaker 2: the majority, not all, but like the majority of people
Speaker 2: that are that are playing any day Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Speaker 2: They probably have people there just for them. Yeah you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like they each have their own contingencies,
Speaker 2: and obviously certain groups are going to have much bigger
Speaker 2: contingencies than the others. But uh yeah, good stuff Bourbon
Speaker 2: to be on. I mean I didn't I didn't hit
Speaker 2: any big traffic or anything on the way in, but
Speaker 2: they've got that have noticed they.
Speaker 1: Got that exit blocked off. Feel like maybe it was
Speaker 1: a coincidence, but it did seem like there's just more
Speaker 1: people on the roads today.
Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll get some kind of some numbers here
Speaker 2: from from the city after the fact that I'm sure
Speaker 2: we can reference last year. But I am anxious to
Speaker 2: see and it'll be really a rough estimation, I would assume,
Speaker 2: but how many people are going to be in Louisville
Speaker 2: over these next four days from all over the world
Speaker 2: just for this event? I mean, I outside of the
Speaker 2: Derby PGH Championship. I would think this has a chance
Speaker 2: to bring in more people than anything else we've had, wouldn't.
Speaker 1: I mean, now, that's fair.
Speaker 2: All right, Let's go to the phone line five O
Speaker 2: two five nine hundred is the number if you want
Speaker 2: to give us a call. You can also text in
Speaker 2: on the Ellen and Federal Credit Union text line five
Speaker 2: O two sixty five three zero seven ninety. Let's go
Speaker 2: to Chris. Chris, you're on Sports Talk seven ninety. What's happening?
Speaker 3: Hey, guy, that's my fifty sixth.
Speaker 2: Through Say that again.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, just I said I turned fifty six to
Speaker 3: this Sunday.
Speaker 2: All right, have you earlier today, sir, and just to
Speaker 2: join the show.
Speaker 3: Getting ready to go out to Trinity High School pick
Speaker 3: up my son from drum practice. But I was just
Speaker 3: stating back to the Louisville thing. I understand, uh, you
Speaker 3: know college football and pro football is this is hard
Speaker 3: to pick. It'd be hard to be a gambler right now.
Speaker 3: But what I will say about the quarterback Tyler, and
Speaker 3: about Brahm and his system, I think we got all
Speaker 3: the pieces. So I'm like you, I'm not as scared,
Speaker 3: but I know at any game, at any time, you
Speaker 3: could have a bad game. But I like the fact
Speaker 3: that this quarterback so far against minimal competition, but he
Speaker 3: don't seem like he's shaking Jake. You know, if it
Speaker 3: makes any sense, Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2: It makes it. Chris, He's got he's got a confidence
Speaker 2: about himself that you can just kind of say, it
Speaker 2: doesn't mean he's gonna make a mistake. But also I
Speaker 2: think like if he does make a mistake, he's probably
Speaker 2: gonna be pretty prone to bounced back from it.
Speaker 3: Right. And I've been watching my son plays D three
Speaker 3: ball for handover. He plays defensive back. We played Butler
Speaker 3: the other day and got blasted. But uh, as far
Speaker 3: as I've been watching quarterbacks, normally, I'm a running back guy,
Speaker 3: and the guys that do good are the guys that
Speaker 3: can make the simple throws. And that simple throw is
Speaker 3: the throw to the running back, whether it's a screen,
Speaker 3: the bubble screen, the outs. And I'm seeing these guys
Speaker 3: that can throw where the wide receiver is going, and
Speaker 3: those make the best type of quarterback. And I like
Speaker 3: this guy because he's making those type of throws. Now
Speaker 3: know we're playing against minor competition, but I'm not looking
Speaker 3: at the competition as much as I'm looking at how
Speaker 3: comfortable he is in the pocket, how comfortable he makes
Speaker 3: his reads. And then our defensive line is good and
Speaker 3: we got a great defensive end with some with some
Speaker 3: good defensive back. So I'm gonna get off here.
Speaker 2: I want to ask you one more question before before
Speaker 2: you run. Is Hanover still one of the most beautiful
Speaker 2: campuses you'll see right there on the ohio?
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness, my son. He had
Speaker 3: his top three offers when he Chris Foran Jr. Was
Speaker 3: coming out of Trinity with Georgetown Hanover and it was
Speaker 3: the top two offers that he had.
Speaker 2: And uh, that cams beautiful.
Speaker 3: Man, It's lovely, It's lovely, good stuff. So shout out
Speaker 3: the handover football we played this weekend. I'm gonna be
Speaker 3: like Batman, I'm gonna leave the Handover game and head
Speaker 3: to the Louisville game.
Speaker 1: So good stuff.
Speaker 3: I want y'all feedback on the quarterback as far as
Speaker 3: you know, how how laid back he is. Sure this
Speaker 3: will be a big test form, but I think that
Speaker 3: he's going to do pretty good. I like the fact
Speaker 3: that he can make all the throws.
Speaker 2: Thanks Chris, I appreciate it. Man. Yeah, Hanover College. Have
Speaker 2: you ever been up there? John?
Speaker 1: I have not.
Speaker 2: It's it's right there in Hannover, Indiana, but it's really
Speaker 2: close to Madison, which Madison is one of the sneaky,
Speaker 2: most beautiful places in the in the area. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's not that far from here, and it is, it
Speaker 2: is beautiful. When I played basketball in high school, I
Speaker 2: was recruited by a lot of schools that were like
Speaker 2: D three, not high level schools or anything like that,
Speaker 2: which it worked out where like, you know, I was
Speaker 2: delusional thinking like I was better than D three as
Speaker 2: far as I could play at a higher level, and
Speaker 2: I got recruited by Nai schools. The firstchool I signed
Speaker 2: with was inn Nai School, and they offer scholarships, whereas
Speaker 2: D three schools don't. They can give you some assistance,
Speaker 2: you can, you know you can, you can get helped out.
Speaker 2: But nonetheless I kind of was a snob, like I
Speaker 2: didn't you know, I didn't. Uh, I'm too good for that,
Speaker 2: which my game much more suited the Division III level. However,
Speaker 2: my grades did not and my financial situation did not,
Speaker 2: so everything all worked out for me. But Hannover was
Speaker 2: the school that I really wish I would have in
Speaker 2: the moment appreciated more because they, I will say, they
Speaker 2: recruited me harder than any school. They came to practices,
Speaker 2: they came to a lot of my games, full staff
Speaker 2: in attendance when we played one of our one of
Speaker 2: our arrivals when I was growing up, and uh, I
Speaker 2: took a visit to the campus and it's beautiful. I
Speaker 2: mean it's just I mean, it's so nice.
Speaker 1: This Woody Harrelson went, Yes, okay, I think I remember
Speaker 1: hearing you say that before.
Speaker 2: So yeah, and that that and I know I've mentioned
Speaker 2: that story before, but that the coolest thing that ever
Speaker 2: happened to me. When I was being recruited by again,
Speaker 2: you know, and you can call it being recruited, but
Speaker 2: like they wanted me to come and play basketball there,
Speaker 2: but like they weren't, I mean they were. There's no
Speaker 2: scholarships the Division three, but there's still great value in
Speaker 2: getting a great education from a place like that. But nonetheless,
Speaker 2: they they sent me a DVD in the mail and
Speaker 2: I remember like not knowing what it would be, so
Speaker 2: sure enough I popped it in and it was it
Speaker 2: was Woody Harrelson, who of course is an alum, went
Speaker 2: to Hanover, did not play did not play basketball there,
Speaker 2: but he was part of their theater group. And you know,
Speaker 2: obviously he's gone on to be super successful, but he
Speaker 2: was a Handover alum, and he, you know, he has
Speaker 2: some people think and I still think of him as
Speaker 2: basketball now because of the story I'm sharing. That's why
Speaker 2: I think of him as a When I think of him,
Speaker 2: I think basketball. But it's also white Man Can't Jump,
Speaker 2: like he's the star from White Man Can't Jump. So
Speaker 2: at some point, you know, it wasn't customized. It was
Speaker 2: he didn't say my name, but he had did some
Speaker 2: video kind of as his character in White Man Can't Jump,
Speaker 2: encouraging you know, kids to come and play Hanover where
Speaker 2: he went to school. So I just thought that was
Speaker 2: really cool. They were creative in a way. And you know,
Speaker 2: even if I wanted to go there, wouldn't have worked
Speaker 2: out because I'm not sure I could have gotten into
Speaker 2: school there academically. But yeah, shout out to Hanover. And
Speaker 2: back to Chris's comments in regards to the quarterback, I
Speaker 2: think Tyler shucked. I mean again, it's all about who
Speaker 2: it's against. I mean, last year, Jack Plumber, you know,
Speaker 2: in fact, Jack Plumber's best game was against Boston College,
Speaker 2: where he looked like he was Peyton Manning out there,
Speaker 2: but you know, he probably looked more comfortable and confident
Speaker 2: and carried himself a little bit differently whenever Louisville's got
Speaker 2: a few scores lead against you know, Murray State or
Speaker 2: whoever else they played in games where they were up big.
Speaker 2: And there's no way to say this without it sounding
Speaker 2: like I'm doubting Tyler Shuck. But we haven't in a
Speaker 2: Louisville uniform really seen him prove anything yet. Doesn't mean
Speaker 2: he's not capable, But from what we can gather right now,
Speaker 2: I just think he's he's got a confidence in himself
Speaker 2: with his arm and the way he's in the huddle
Speaker 2: that I think I feel good about it. And again,
Speaker 2: there really has been no there's been no part of
Speaker 2: his game throughout his career many many years as a
Speaker 2: college quarterback at Oregon at Texas Tech that has ever
Speaker 2: said he's not good enough, like that he doesn't have
Speaker 2: the arm, and then he's just not as good as
Speaker 2: people thought he would be. It's just been injuries and
Speaker 2: he is turnover prone. But even when that was the case,
Speaker 2: when healthy, he could make up for those turnovers because
Speaker 2: he would make plays. So I think they've got a
Speaker 2: good quarterback here, and I'm anxious to see what he
Speaker 2: does against an ABC caliber opponent. But yeah, just look, guys,
Speaker 2: know it man in the huddle. We talked about this
Speaker 2: with Alex Cupper a couple of weeks ago after we
Speaker 2: saw Chuck in action in the first two weeks, like
Speaker 2: you can just when it comes you know, his stats
Speaker 2: look good, but just take the stats away, say you
Speaker 2: want to minimize the stats because of who it was against.
Speaker 2: I can just tell this guy has a good arm
Speaker 2: and he wouldn't be here as our quarterback if Jef
Speaker 2: Broum didn't have the confidence in his arm. But he's
Speaker 2: really sure of himself and he'll take some risk. He's confident,
Speaker 2: and I think if he does make a mistake, he's
Speaker 2: the kind of guy that will bounce back from it. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: with Plumber, it seemed like when he would make a mistake,
Speaker 2: he would turn into five mistakes, almost like he was
Speaker 2: pressing a little bit. Also real quick. I know, we
Speaker 2: got to get to a break. But Chris's comments about
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks that can just make you know, the simple throw.
Speaker 2: That's why guys, I mean, that's why guys like Baker
Speaker 2: Mayfield have have now found success in the NFL. Right,
Speaker 2: he's in a situation where he's got some decent pieces
Speaker 2: and he can make the simple throws. He's got a
Speaker 2: good enough arm, and if you've got good pieces around
Speaker 2: guys like that, you can win. Look at brock Perdy,
Speaker 2: there's been so much over analyzing of like where he
Speaker 2: stands as far as being a really good quarterback, and
Speaker 2: you know, I think it's pretty simple. He's pretty good.
Speaker 2: He's not elite. He's not gonna make throws that like
Speaker 2: nobody else can make, but he can make the simple
Speaker 2: throws and he can do that. He can do that consistently,
Speaker 2: and he's not out there trying to take over a
Speaker 2: game with his arm or force the issue because he
Speaker 2: knows who he is as a quarterback. Same thing with Baker,
Speaker 2: and there's other examples of that too. Guys that have
Speaker 2: a great career and nobody would claim they have the
Speaker 2: best arm. Nobody would claim that they are you know,
Speaker 2: they have the strongest arm, nobody would claim that they
Speaker 2: are the best athletes. But they can make the right
Speaker 2: throws consistently and they don't force the issue sometimes, you know,
Speaker 2: keeping it simple can go a long way. Now, you've
Speaker 2: got to have ability, and I think those guys I
Speaker 2: mentioned do have ability. But I think you know it's
Speaker 2: no it's no secret the quarterback position in the NFL
Speaker 2: is the most overanalyzed position in all of sports because
Speaker 2: it is really important. Nobody would downplay the importance of
Speaker 2: a quarterback. But you know, you don't have to have
Speaker 2: a guy that is viewed as an all time great
Speaker 2: to win at a high level. Now, you probably need
Speaker 2: a guy like Patrick Mahomes. You know, if you're gonna
Speaker 2: if you're gonna put together a dynasty, you probably need
Speaker 2: a guy like Tom Brady if you're gonna have that
Speaker 2: kind of a run like he had in New England.
Speaker 2: But you can still succeed in the NFL and in
Speaker 2: college and really all levels if you've got a quarterback
Speaker 2: that you know is solid, good enough and can be consistent.
Speaker 2: All right, quick break, we'll come back on the other side.
Speaker 2: Wrap up a three o'clock hour, Keep this party rolling along.
Speaker 2: It's coffee and company. We are feel about Thorton's right
Speaker 2: here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Appreciate you bringing down
Speaker 2: the mood here, John.
Speaker 1: I think this is more relaxing than bringing down the
Speaker 1: mood relaxing. Don't you don't like the vibe of the song.
Speaker 2: Now? I mean the music, like the production a little
Speaker 2: more relaxing, but the.
Speaker 1: Little whiny Yeah, who is this? This is Chatham County Line.
Speaker 1: They'll be playing tomorrow Bourbon and Beyond from Raleigh, North Carolina. Okay,
Speaker 1: sorry to bring down the vibes.
Speaker 2: They sound like somebody that I know, but it's not
Speaker 2: I mean, not that I know personally, but just a
Speaker 2: group that I'm that I that I would compare them to,
Speaker 2: but I can't think of who it is. This festival
Speaker 2: has to be one of the most diverse that you'll find,
Speaker 2: right with this many big names.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get a lot of country, a lot of folk,
Speaker 1: sometimes a little bit of pop. You got Bruno Mars
Speaker 1: last year. Can really be all over the yeah this,
Speaker 1: but you really don't have much like urban present, right, No, so,
Speaker 1: but what's weird is that Louder than Life kind of
Speaker 1: throws in a little bit of that urban presence with
Speaker 1: some hip hop acts.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, like Snoop Dogg they or were supposed to
Speaker 2: be Snoop Dogg. This year.
Speaker 1: You got three six Mafia coming to town. Uh, I
Speaker 1: don't have the line up.
Speaker 2: When you saw Jelly Roll, was he a bourbon beyond
Speaker 2: or louder than line?
Speaker 1: It was louder than life. And he did a little
Speaker 1: bit of around, a little bit of both. You did
Speaker 1: a little bit of rap, country and rock and roll
Speaker 1: whenever he performed nice. So for those who who were
Speaker 1: listening to KSR this morning, you you heard the announcement
Speaker 1: from from Mark Pope that the the let's see here
Speaker 1: Big Blue Man. I'm trying to get the specifics, but
Speaker 1: they're gonna make all of their yeah, their collective Club
Speaker 1: Blues Blue.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll just read directly here. It says Club Blues
Speaker 2: Blue White pre season event, which will be a Memorial colisseum.
Speaker 2: We'll have all proceeds from this event go directly to
Speaker 2: the basketball programs nil efforts. So they're gonna make it
Speaker 2: like a fan experience for the fans. Tickets will be
Speaker 2: on sale it looks like tomorrow, and I'm not here
Speaker 2: to promote that people should go buy tickets. I'm not
Speaker 2: even really sure what they cost, but that's what I'm
Speaker 2: looking for because I want to see you know, if
Speaker 2: you if you end up in Memorial. I don't even
Speaker 2: know what that holds Memorial Colisseum, I'm gonna look it
Speaker 2: up because it's clearly not as big as I mean,
Speaker 2: I've been in Memorial, but it's a long long time ago.
Speaker 2: Actually played a basketball game there when I was I think,
Speaker 2: like an eighth grade and I know it's big, you
Speaker 2: know for someone at that age. But uh, I'm not
Speaker 2: even sure how many it holds. But let's say they
Speaker 2: sold eighty percent of it. Yeah, Memorial Coliseum, it holds
Speaker 2: eighty five hundred. Let's just say they sold they and
Speaker 2: they'll sell that out by the way, I mean it's
Speaker 2: with it being that small, they should sell it out.
Speaker 2: So eighty five hundred, you know, let's say tickets or
Speaker 2: I don't know, twenty bucks a pop, twenty five bucks
Speaker 2: a pop, but I have no clue what they're going
Speaker 2: to cost. But like, if all the money from that
Speaker 2: goes towards the basketball teams in il collective, that's huge.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's humongous. And I'll give you a case
Speaker 2: some credit, you know, And there's all kinds of schools
Speaker 2: I think that you could prop up as an example
Speaker 2: of like, hey, that was pretty creative, that was innovative.
Speaker 2: I'm sure other schools will copy and because and Ill
Speaker 2: was important. That's the name of the game. And we've
Speaker 2: all like it's an uncomfortable conversation for some because I
Speaker 2: understand why people would say I'm paying enough, Like, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm not paying anymore. I'm not gonna be the one
Speaker 2: responsible for going and get players. I pay my season
Speaker 2: ticket donation. I pay four season tickets. You know, I
Speaker 2: go to games of other sports, like I give enough money.
Speaker 2: They don't need any more of my money. If you
Speaker 2: have that mindset, totally fine. But I want to be
Speaker 2: I've not seen a school act like you have to
Speaker 2: do this and shame you if you don't. They're just
Speaker 2: letting it be known they need they could use the help.
Speaker 2: And if you want to help, you know, here you
Speaker 2: go and where I'll give Kentucky credit. This isn't a
Speaker 2: season ticket event. The the Blue White event, and they're
Speaker 2: having the event and people are gonna come and maybe,
Speaker 2: you know, what they think it's worth is up to them.
Speaker 2: But if they charge twenty bucks and you paid, you know,
Speaker 2: you paid to go watch this team play an intersquad scrimmage,
Speaker 2: and all that money's going to go towards the collective,
Speaker 2: which again, is a good thing. So I'll give them
Speaker 2: credit for that. So again I get why people are like, yeah,
Speaker 2: they don't need any more of my money. I'm not
Speaker 2: seeing anybody out there saying you have to do it,
Speaker 2: and if you're a bad fan, you know, I mean,
Speaker 2: we're not to the point where any ticket you buy,
Speaker 2: whether it be a season ticket or whatever, they're gonna
Speaker 2: had that fee. The Tennessee thing. Keep in mind, that
Speaker 2: was only for ceas and ticket holders, and those people
Speaker 2: are already very generous, right, So that's why they're doing
Speaker 2: it to the generous people who probably can afford to
Speaker 2: and won't be bothered because they're already extra generous. Anyway,
Speaker 2: if you go to the box office and there's that
Speaker 2: fee for two tickets for you and your kid, that's
Speaker 2: a different story. But nobody's doing that. The one person
Speaker 2: that has in fact kind of shamed fans, it sounded like,
Speaker 2: was that guy the ad for Arkansas we played the
Speaker 2: other day on the show Hunter yerochek Or. He was
Speaker 2: almost like he was running for office and he needed
Speaker 2: your support at the at the box or at the polls.
Speaker 2: But instead he's in telling you to pay one thousand
Speaker 2: dollars a month for NIL which are lockey. Yeah. I
Speaker 2: mean a lot of people can't afford that, So it's
Speaker 2: a good idea. And I don't know if you've was
Speaker 2: going to do the same thing. I don't think they
Speaker 2: have pressure to do the same thing. So I don't
Speaker 2: want it to be to come off that way, but
Speaker 2: well done because again that'll raise a lot of money
Speaker 2: and that matters. Now, that matters in a major way.
Speaker 2: I think NIL for the big schools, it's going to
Speaker 2: get to the point where I actually think there's gonna
