1
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:12.439
<v Speaker 1>It's time for Coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:29.559
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven to nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.

3
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:35.719
<v Speaker 2>As we discussed, once we get to the actual college

4
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:39.920
<v Speaker 2>basketball season, which is a long way away considering the

5
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.039
<v Speaker 2>most recent season just ended a little bit over a

6
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.439
<v Speaker 2>week ago, like, once we get there, we won't talk

7
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 2>about these silly way too early, ridiculously early. I mean,

8
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.240
<v Speaker 2>are they even considered off season rankings? Again, we talked

9
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:58.280
<v Speaker 2>about them right after the National Championship game, because again,

10
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:02.039
<v Speaker 2>we love college basketball more than any this market for sure,

11
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:03.520
<v Speaker 2>So if there is somebody that's going to make at

12
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:05.400
<v Speaker 2>least something of it, it would be us. But I

13
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:07.920
<v Speaker 2>talked about it because I feel like it just will

14
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:10.280
<v Speaker 2>really remind you, and it's nice to be reminded at

15
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.760
<v Speaker 2>all times that, man, we were dead for a little while,

16
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:14.560
<v Speaker 2>but man we got some real momentum right now with

17
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Pat Kelcey. So again I'm always going to feel the

18
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:19.000
<v Speaker 2>need to throw the disclaimer on there that like, this

19
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.760
<v Speaker 2>doesn't prove anything, it doesn't mean anything, and we won't

20
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.680
<v Speaker 2>even probably remember where Louisville or Kentucky are ranked in

21
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.200
<v Speaker 2>these college basketball rankings for the next season. Whenever we're

22
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.040
<v Speaker 2>sitting here in mid April. But Louisville there's been a

23
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 2>little bit of an adjustment. I think they were at

24
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:41.239
<v Speaker 2>number three initially in Jeff Borzello's top twenty five rankings

25
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.760
<v Speaker 2>for ESPN. They've now moved to four. And it's not

26
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.319
<v Speaker 2>because of any you know, it's not because of anything

27
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:50.599
<v Speaker 2>that's changed with Louisville. It's just because other teams have

28
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.159
<v Speaker 2>made some additions. And I don't even know who it was,

29
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 2>but one team has jumped ahead of Louislle. I can't

30
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.599
<v Speaker 2>think of which one was it was, actually, yeah, it.

31
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.959
<v Speaker 3>Was Texas Tech. They got back JT.

32
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Toppin, which was a big deal, and then there was

33
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.879
<v Speaker 2>another player they added via transfer that I guess bumped

34
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.560
<v Speaker 2>them ahead of Louisville. So yeah, in fact, Texas Tech

35
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:12.400
<v Speaker 2>went from twenty two to number three, so they did

36
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:16.520
<v Speaker 2>some real work in the portal and elsewhere. Actually, let's

37
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.919
<v Speaker 2>just run through this really quickly. I know again, these

38
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.800
<v Speaker 2>aren't These are probably going to change from now until

39
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:23.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't know next week, because obviously there's still players

40
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.439
<v Speaker 2>going in the portal that will end up with good

41
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.759
<v Speaker 2>teams and certainly give them a better outlook for next year,

42
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.280
<v Speaker 2>so these will probably these will probably change weekly, but

43
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:36.960
<v Speaker 2>right now, Houston is still sitting at number one in

44
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 2>ESPN's rankings. They bring back a lot from this past season,

45
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:43.520
<v Speaker 2>and obviously they brought in some good transfers as well.

46
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Papa Isaacs at Creighton. That's their big addition. So Houston

47
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:52.879
<v Speaker 2>number one, purduees at number two, and it's really I mean,

48
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.879
<v Speaker 2>purduees bringing back the same team and adding a transfer

49
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 2>from South Dakota State. And yeah, they were good last year,

50
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:03.680
<v Speaker 2>they made the Sweet sixteen, But I mean, I feel

51
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:07.039
<v Speaker 2>like when Purdue is not really doing anything to get

52
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.400
<v Speaker 2>better as far as additions, and everybody else is making,

53
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, making moves to seemingly get.

54
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:14.120
<v Speaker 3>Better from a year ago.

55
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Like you know, I'm not saying Purdue is trash, but

56
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 2>when everybody else is making moves to get better and

57
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:24.159
<v Speaker 2>they're bringing back really the same team that you know

58
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.599
<v Speaker 2>wasn't elite, I don't know, putting them number two seems

59
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:28.080
<v Speaker 2>a little off to me, But then again, Matt Painter's

60
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:28.479
<v Speaker 2>just different.

61
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 4>Right.

62
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:32.719
<v Speaker 2>Whenever we looked at all the Sweet sixteen matchups, Purdue

63
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.599
<v Speaker 2>was the only team that had their five starters in

64
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.800
<v Speaker 2>the Sweet sixteen that every single starter started.

65
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:39.960
<v Speaker 3>Their career at Purdue and was still there.

66
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:42.960
<v Speaker 2>So as mentioned, Texas Tech number three, Louisville number four,

67
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 2>Yukon number five BYU. They've jumped up to number six

68
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.280
<v Speaker 2>here because not only do they have some momentum coming

69
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:53.159
<v Speaker 2>off of last year, they also have the number one

70
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:57.280
<v Speaker 2>player in America AJ deband Stup. And then they also

71
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:01.960
<v Speaker 2>bring in rob Wright, Robert Wright, the third I should say,

72
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.039
<v Speaker 2>from Baylor, who is one of their better players last year,

73
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:05.280
<v Speaker 2>which we need to get to Baylor coming up in

74
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 2>a moment.

75
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 3>Promise we will.

76
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.719
<v Speaker 2>But Michigan's at number seven, Cali Perry and Arkansas at

77
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:13.240
<v Speaker 2>number eight, Kentucky at number nine, and then Duke at

78
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.519
<v Speaker 2>number at number ten, So there you have it, and

79
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 2>then Auburn's at number eleven. But with Baker Mazara now

80
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.240
<v Speaker 2>in the portal, may maybe they drop off. And if

81
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:27.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, if for some reason these signs that people

82
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:29.600
<v Speaker 2>are you know, or I guess the dots that people

83
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 2>are trying to connect as far as the timing here

84
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 2>with Baker Mazara going to the portal, with that, if

85
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:36.399
<v Speaker 2>he did end up popping for Louisville, which I'm not

86
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:38.759
<v Speaker 2>saying he will again. That's all that is is. I mean,

87
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.360
<v Speaker 2>it's probably even not even fair to call it speculation,

88
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:43.879
<v Speaker 2>because I think even speculating on it is a real

89
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:45.879
<v Speaker 2>force at this point. And for those who missed it

90
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.800
<v Speaker 2>in the first hour and maybe aren't paying attention to it.

91
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:52.079
<v Speaker 2>Chad Baker Mazzara the twenty six year old, and I'm

92
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:54.040
<v Speaker 2>not exaggerating at this time. He's twenty six years old.

93
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:56.399
<v Speaker 2>He is coming back to college somehow for another year

94
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:58.720
<v Speaker 2>of eligibility. He had signed some kind of agreement with

95
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Auburn as far as nil, but then a week later

96
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:03.920
<v Speaker 2>he's decided to enter the portal. And he was in

97
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:07.839
<v Speaker 2>the Dominican Republic last week with Caseon Pryor vacationing. And

98
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:11.279
<v Speaker 2>those two guys were teammates at their junior college level.

99
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:17.040
<v Speaker 2>So the the speculation here is essentially, well, he was

100
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:18.560
<v Speaker 2>all in an Auburn and then he goes on vacation

101
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:20.920
<v Speaker 2>with his former juco teammate who seemingly is coming back

102
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.399
<v Speaker 2>to Louisville. Louisville doesn't look to be in great shape

103
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:24.680
<v Speaker 2>really at all for Nate a Mint.

104
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Maybe this guy takes that spot. No clue if that's

105
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:27.920
<v Speaker 3>what happens.

106
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:31.319
<v Speaker 2>But if it does, that'll probably bump up Louisville, no joke,

107
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.040
<v Speaker 2>to probably number I mean, I think it would probably

108
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.000
<v Speaker 2>put him ahead of Texas Tech, and it should put

109
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:37.839
<v Speaker 2>him ahead of Purdue. I mean again, and I'm not

110
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:39.759
<v Speaker 2>saying I think Louisville will be the second best team

111
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:41.480
<v Speaker 2>in the country if that's the case. I'm just saying,

112
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:43.680
<v Speaker 2>if we're going off of how Jeff Borzelo at ESPN

113
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.759
<v Speaker 2>has these rankings put together, now, I would just say

114
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.959
<v Speaker 2>that would be a huge addition and Louisville would bump up.

115
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, it is Coffee and Company. We are phil

116
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.439
<v Speaker 2>about Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Big shout

117
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:57.079
<v Speaker 2>out to the louisvill Bats. Got a win today that

118
00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.439
<v Speaker 2>led us to getting a little bit of a later start,

119
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.279
<v Speaker 2>which is okay. I mean the Bats lost the first

120
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.560
<v Speaker 2>two up in Columbus and then got the win today.

121
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:09.560
<v Speaker 2>So we're carrying some positive vibes as we roll along here.

122
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:11.319
<v Speaker 2>And if you want to take us with you wherever

123

126
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:17.439
<v Speaker 4>All right.

127
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:19.439
<v Speaker 3>So I mentioned.

128
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:24.160
<v Speaker 2>The regret that I would imagine Scott Drew has to have.

129
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:26.079
<v Speaker 2>I talked about that towards the end of the three

130
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:30.439
<v Speaker 2>o'clock hour, and I just really, you know, everybody's different.

131
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:36.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was in looking back the times that

132
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Scott Drew did turn down other jobs to stay at Baylor,

133
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.759
<v Speaker 2>like that alone is telling and you kind of feel

134
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:49.519
<v Speaker 2>like last year when he turned down both Kentucky and Louisville.

135
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:52.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's ultimately like him saying I'm content with

136
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:57.240
<v Speaker 2>staying at Baylor forever because that was the time to strike.

137
00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:59.399
<v Speaker 2>I also, I don't think he was ever off for

138
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.199
<v Speaker 2>the job, but he wanted Indiana at one point. I mean,

139
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.519
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Goodman said as much, and Indiana apparently was a

140
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.279
<v Speaker 2>job that Goodman at some point thought that Drew would take.

141
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:13.920
<v Speaker 2>But he ended up getting two big opportunities to leave Baylor.

142
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:15.920
<v Speaker 2>And I thought timing was good for him last year

143
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.360
<v Speaker 2>because he'd won a champion national Titland twenty twenty one

144
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.399
<v Speaker 2>and the likelihood of doing that again at Baylor is

145
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 2>almost impossible. And you also have to keep in mind

146
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:28.639
<v Speaker 2>he did that in a year where college basketball, like

147
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:30.639
<v Speaker 2>everything in the world was weird because we were trying

148
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:32.879
<v Speaker 2>to get back to normal life when a pandemic hit.

149
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:38.879
<v Speaker 2>So he turned down both those jobs, stayed at Baylor,

150
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:41.600
<v Speaker 2>and he had a really I mean, I remember gassing

151
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:43.959
<v Speaker 2>up this Baylor roster because they brought back some good

152
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.680
<v Speaker 2>players and then they brought in Nord Shadowmere, who of

153
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:51.839
<v Speaker 2>course was a Final four player at Miami previously, Jeremy

154
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Roach from Duke, not to mention VJ. Edgecombe the best

155
00:07:55.480 --> 00:08:01.279
<v Speaker 2>freshman in the country outside of Cooper Flag Rob Wright.

156
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:05.519
<v Speaker 2>The third Langston Love is transferred in from I'm sorry

157
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Langston Love. I think was a was a returning player.

158
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:10.439
<v Speaker 2>So again I thought baylorud be really good this year.

159
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:12.439
<v Speaker 2>They barely got in the tournament as an eight or

160
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:14.639
<v Speaker 2>nine seed. The only win they had we're talking about

161
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.120
<v Speaker 2>was a buzzer beater when they beat Rick Patino in

162
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Saint John's in November. And I think when it comes

163
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.720
<v Speaker 2>to like, they weren't terrible, but when it comes to

164
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:26.160
<v Speaker 2>teams that just from a personnel standpoint, should have been

165
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:27.879
<v Speaker 2>a lot better. To me, I don't think there's a

166
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:30.519
<v Speaker 2>team that would be higher on that list than Baylor.

167
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:34.440
<v Speaker 2>So I don't bring this up to say that his season.

168
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.120
<v Speaker 2>That was a dud, losing the duke in the second round,

169
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:39.080
<v Speaker 2>like that's the reason he has regret. But as it

170
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.279
<v Speaker 2>stands right now on April seventeenth, Scott Drew is in

171
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.600
<v Speaker 2>the same position that Pat Kelcey and Mark Pope were

172
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:47.919
<v Speaker 2>in last year, where he does not have a single

173
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:53.000
<v Speaker 2>player on his team, not a one. And yeah, that

174
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:56.759
<v Speaker 2>at times can be a good mon I don't think

175
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:58.840
<v Speaker 2>I think that's ever a good thing. Sometimes there's an

176
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:03.639
<v Speaker 2>obvious explanation like Louisville, Kentucky situation last year, but you

177
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.519
<v Speaker 2>got to go buy all new players and Baylor, I

178
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:10.720
<v Speaker 2>mean that's always why everybody thought he'd leave Baylor, because yes, Baylor,

179
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:14.240
<v Speaker 2>they got some Texas Oil money, but like it's Waco, Texas,

180
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Like they don't have a resources. They just built a

181
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 2>brand new arena and I think it seats like seven

182
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:22.559
<v Speaker 2>thousand people. So the likelihood of Baylor having the kind

183
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.039
<v Speaker 2>of resources needed to bounce back with a completely new

184
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:29.240
<v Speaker 2>team and be competitive at the top of the Big Twelve,

185
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:34.159
<v Speaker 2>I think it's insanely, insanely unrealistic. So to know that

186
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:36.120
<v Speaker 2>like next year they're probably going to have like a

187
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:37.080
<v Speaker 2>rebuilding year.

188
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:39.080
<v Speaker 3>If that's even a thing anymore.

189
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.080
<v Speaker 2>Like I just had a hard time thinking that Scott

190
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:44.799
<v Speaker 2>Drew will not look back and think like, man, I

191
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:49.919
<v Speaker 2>made a mistake. Timing was there and I didn't take advantage,

192
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:51.440
<v Speaker 2>and he would have been a better fit, I think,

193
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:52.639
<v Speaker 2>at Kentucky than Louisville.

194
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:54.559
<v Speaker 3>And I never really thought Louisville one.

195
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:56.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he would have taken the Louisville job,

196
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.720
<v Speaker 2>And I think what happened is just my opinion on it.

197
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:01.159
<v Speaker 3>I think Louisville wanted it to.

198
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Be seen as in the early stages of the process

199
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:08.639
<v Speaker 2>that they were going to swing big and see what happens.

200
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:11.120
<v Speaker 2>They never actually offered him the job, and maybe because

201
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.519
<v Speaker 2>they knew right away he would never come here, and

202
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:15.039
<v Speaker 2>they knew what it would cost, or they knew what

203
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.120
<v Speaker 2>it would cost to get him, and if you paid

204
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.000
<v Speaker 2>him what he would need as far as a base

205
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:21.679
<v Speaker 2>salary to come from Baylor, Like he had no buyout,

206
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:24.080
<v Speaker 2>which is wild, but he was going to need a big,

207
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.120
<v Speaker 2>big paycheck in order to come to Louisville or Kentucky

208
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:29.960
<v Speaker 2>for that matter, at Baylor where he just won a

209
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:34.639
<v Speaker 2>national championship, and really it's his program. So I think

210
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:37.639
<v Speaker 2>UFL was smart and realized we can get somebody for

211
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:39.519
<v Speaker 2>a fraction of what it would cost to get him,

212
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:41.759
<v Speaker 2>and money that we have around, we can let that

213
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.240
<v Speaker 2>new coach wherever we hire. It was Pat Kelsey. He

214
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:46.039
<v Speaker 2>can use that money and go go get players. And

215
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.399
<v Speaker 2>he did and it worked. But I don't know. I

216
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.159
<v Speaker 2>don't think he's a phony, like I think he is

217
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.240
<v Speaker 2>a man of faith, and I don't think that he

218
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:55.759
<v Speaker 2>does that just to look like a good guy. I

219
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:57.919
<v Speaker 2>think that's genuinely who he is. I think he's been

220
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:00.559
<v Speaker 2>in this industry long enough to where if he was

221
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:03.720
<v Speaker 2>a phony, and you know, he just talked about God

222
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:05.960
<v Speaker 2>and his faith and his family just to sound like

223
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:07.639
<v Speaker 2>he was a nice guy, I think people would know that.

224
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.600
<v Speaker 2>But it does appear that his family was a big

225
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:13.919
<v Speaker 2>factor and they didn't want to leave Waco. That's where

226
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:15.960
<v Speaker 2>his kids grew up. Again, he's a made man there,

227
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:22.879
<v Speaker 2>but he lost to everybody. And I just don't like, yeah,

228
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:25.320
<v Speaker 2>they'll they can like maybe in a few years they're

229
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:28.919
<v Speaker 2>really good again. But Baylor and really Scott drew as

230
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:31.240
<v Speaker 2>a coach, like not many can say they have a

231
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:34.360
<v Speaker 2>national title right now. But Scott, who's done this long

232
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:38.159
<v Speaker 2>time to where way more seasons of him being a

233
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:43.000
<v Speaker 2>head coach at Baylor are forgettable or you know, frankly

234
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:47.039
<v Speaker 2>not good than seasons like he had in twenty and nineteen,

235
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:51.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty and twenty one. And trust me, it wasn't as

236
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.159
<v Speaker 2>if Louisville could get Scott Drew. I would have said, no,

237
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.440
<v Speaker 2>don't do it. But I remember, like, yeah, he's a

238
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:58.360
<v Speaker 2>good coach. And men, if you can go hire a

239
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:00.879
<v Speaker 2>sitting coach that's got a title on his res you'd

240
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:04.519
<v Speaker 2>be foolish not to do it. But some of these coaches, man,

241
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:07.240
<v Speaker 2>they tell you who they are, that with you know,

242
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:12.679
<v Speaker 2>eighteen years, and then they do something successful and it's

243
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:15.759
<v Speaker 2>worth praise, like it happened, Like it's not like it

244
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:18.840
<v Speaker 2>doesn't count, but it's an outlier in a major way.

245
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:19.279
<v Speaker 3>And I know it.

246
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:21.679
<v Speaker 2>He inherited a Baylor was a mess and it was

247
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:24.600
<v Speaker 2>viewed as the biggest rebuild ever because of I mean

248
00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:28.759
<v Speaker 2>quite literally, they had a player kill another player and

249
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:30.360
<v Speaker 2>like a coach try to cover it up like that

250
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.120
<v Speaker 2>really happened. By the way, really good documentary on that

251
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.080
<v Speaker 2>whole thing on Showtime, if you guys ever want to

252
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:35.600
<v Speaker 2>check it out.

253
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:37.960
<v Speaker 3>It is I think everybody knows.

254
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.919
<v Speaker 2>The story, but the documentary shares like every little detail

255
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:46.240
<v Speaker 2>about the investigation and the unanswered questions that still remain,

256
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.240
<v Speaker 2>and like the fact that Dave Bliss didn't end up

257
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:53.279
<v Speaker 2>in pre I mean, it's it's wild. But anyways, Scott Drew,

258
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:57.759
<v Speaker 2>let's just take out his first you know, his first

259
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:01.360
<v Speaker 2>five six years. Clearly they were rebuilding in a major

260
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:02.919
<v Speaker 2>way when that really was a thing. You didn't have

261
00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:04.559
<v Speaker 2>the poorly, he didn't have nil, so you had to

262
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Really it was gonna take some time. But he went

263
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.279
<v Speaker 2>to the tournament for the first time in two thousand

264
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:15.600
<v Speaker 2>and eight and then NIT. Then he made the Elite

265
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:19.720
<v Speaker 2>eight in twenty ten, no postseason in twenty eleven, another

266
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Elite eight in twenty twelve, NIT in thirteen, Sweet sixteen,

267
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:28.000
<v Speaker 2>and fourteen Round of sixty four. Two straight years Sweet

268
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:32.519
<v Speaker 2>sixteen and twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen. N twenty nineteen,

269
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:36.000
<v Speaker 2>he won one game in the tournament in went twenty

270
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:39.039
<v Speaker 2>and fourteen overall, and then they were really really good,

271
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Like they might no joke, they might have gone back

272
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:46.919
<v Speaker 2>to back had had the tournament taken place in twenty twenty.

273
00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:49.360
<v Speaker 2>They were twenty six and four. It was them dating,

274
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:52.559
<v Speaker 2>and it was a weird year and it's a forgetable

275
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:55.320
<v Speaker 2>year because all of a sudden it just ended, and

276
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:56.919
<v Speaker 2>all of our tension was on, like are we all

277
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:01.639
<v Speaker 2>going to die? What's this coronavirus? But there were teams

278
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:04.120
<v Speaker 2>that might have actually like we might have had our

279
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:08.840
<v Speaker 2>first random title winner because Dayton was loaded with Obi

280
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.440
<v Speaker 2>toppin San Diego State was really good too, if you

281
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.279
<v Speaker 2>remember Florida State Leonard Hamilton, that was his best team

282
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:16.759
<v Speaker 2>among the many good teams he had, and like they

283
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.360
<v Speaker 2>never it just ended. So that was when it really

284
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:25.679
<v Speaker 2>got on a run. But since I mean since winning

285
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:29.840
<v Speaker 2>a national championship, he's not made it past the round

286
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:32.200
<v Speaker 2>of thirty two, which again that doesn't mean he sucks,

287
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:35.000
<v Speaker 2>but for Kentucky and Louisville to really fully pursue him,

288
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:38.559
<v Speaker 2>I think more than anything that speak clearly Kentucky was

289
00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:41.840
<v Speaker 2>looking for an experienced coach. Initially they wanted both Hurley

290
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:46.159
<v Speaker 2>and obviously Scott Drew. And when it comes to like

291
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:48.480
<v Speaker 2>guys that have that on their resume, they've done it

292
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:50.720
<v Speaker 2>a long time, They've they've made at least one or

293
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.279
<v Speaker 2>two big runs in the tournament. Like the dudes who

294
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:57.799
<v Speaker 2>really made a mark on the sport for decades, not

295
00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:00.679
<v Speaker 2>many of them are still doing this. Like Scott Drew

296
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:03.120
<v Speaker 2>was the guy that you'd think, well, he just won

297
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:05.399
<v Speaker 2>a title a few years ago, why would he ever leave? Well,

298
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:08.600
<v Speaker 2>he's a Baylor, That's why. And I would say to

299
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:11.759
<v Speaker 2>Scott Drew, now, dude, that's why you leave Baylor whenever

300
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:13.440
<v Speaker 2>the opportunity to go to a place like Louis Wi,

301
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky comes up, because you're a Baylor and like the

302
00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:20.559
<v Speaker 2>likelihood of you sustaining the level of success you had

303
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:23.639
<v Speaker 2>was just not realistic. And maybe he's content with that.

304
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:27.240
<v Speaker 2>But now he's got to start completely over because VJ.

305
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Edgecomb's going to the NBA, Omir, Jeremy Roach, Jay Nunn,

306
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:34.879
<v Speaker 2>all those guys are out of eligibility finally, and then

307
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:38.919
<v Speaker 2>they've got four guys that are in the portal currently,

308
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:43.279
<v Speaker 2>Rob Wright, who was another big time freshman with VJ. Edgecomb,

309
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:45.120
<v Speaker 2>he's left. He's gone to BYU. He's going to make

310
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:48.240
<v Speaker 2>over a million. And then Langston Love transferred to Georgetown

311
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:52.679
<v Speaker 2>to play Fred Cooley. So, I mean, I know rosters

312
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:57.000
<v Speaker 2>are turning over like crazy this day and age, but

313
00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:00.799
<v Speaker 2>I do think if you really consider Baylor and their situation,

314
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:04.320
<v Speaker 2>their head coach, this is a to me, it's if

315
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:05.879
<v Speaker 2>I was a Baylor fan, this would be an all like,

316
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:08.759
<v Speaker 2>this wouldn't be okay, everybody's gone, We're good now, we'll

317
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.600
<v Speaker 2>just start over. Like I think, it's an alarming sign

318
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:14.759
<v Speaker 2>that you know, and really, more than anything, it's just

319
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.559
<v Speaker 2>proof that like Baylor was not sustainable, and that's not

320
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Scott Drew's fold necessarily, but like Baylor being you know,

321
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:25.799
<v Speaker 2>a top tier program in this new world, it can

322
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:29.960
<v Speaker 2>happen every now and then, but like not consistently. All right,

323
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:32.360
<v Speaker 2>let's see, we got to get to a break coming

324
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:33.399
<v Speaker 2>up here in just a moment. But I do want

325
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:34.639
<v Speaker 2>to tell you guys about my friends over at the

326
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Louisvill Men's Clinic. I how about the Louisville Men's Clinic

327
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:43.519
<v Speaker 2>helping gentlemen like yourself with a variety of treatments when

328
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:46.120
<v Speaker 2>it comes to just be it a happier and healthier dude.

329
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:49.399
<v Speaker 2>They can help you with a rectile dysfunction, and they

330
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:52.320
<v Speaker 2>have an intimacy guarantee. If you don't perform, you don't pay.

331
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:55.559
<v Speaker 2>There's no better way for a company to let you

332
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:57.759
<v Speaker 2>know they trust and they believe in what they're doing,

333
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:01.120
<v Speaker 2>than by telling you that if you don't get the

334
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:05.440
<v Speaker 2>result that you need, you won't you won't pay, like

335
00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:08.960
<v Speaker 2>you can get your money back. And this is not

336
00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:10.960
<v Speaker 2>part of something they you know, want me to say,

337
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:13.519
<v Speaker 2>or maybe I don't think they mind me saying or

338
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:18.200
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't say it, but like that's a when we

339
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:21.839
<v Speaker 2>consider what they're telling you as far as like if

340
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:25.039
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't work, come back. I pretty like they know

341
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:27.359
<v Speaker 2>that you can't, like they can't prove it. Like if

342
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:30.160
<v Speaker 2>you went back to them and said, yeah, I want

343
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:32.519
<v Speaker 2>my money back because I couldn't perform after you gave

344
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:34.039
<v Speaker 2>me treatment, what are they gonna do?

345
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:34.960
<v Speaker 3>Ask for proof.

346
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:39.119
<v Speaker 2>That's how much they believe that you will have the

347
00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:41.400
<v Speaker 2>ability to perform, and they also, I guess, think you're

348
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:44.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna perform, perform pretty well and you're gonna be appreciative

349
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:46.480
<v Speaker 2>of the service that they provided. So there's no way

350
00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:48.880
<v Speaker 2>you're coming back to say, hey, I couldn't couldn't get

351
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:51.960
<v Speaker 2>it done. So again, I'm sure there are other businesses

352
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:53.640
<v Speaker 2>that do that too. Hey, if you don't trust me,

353
00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:54.759
<v Speaker 2>money back guarantee.

354
00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:55.279
<v Speaker 3>If you don't like it.

355
00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.079
<v Speaker 2>We know you're gonna like it. Well, this is we're

356
00:17:57.079 --> 00:17:59.759
<v Speaker 2>talking about sex, folks. I mean, they can't. There's no

357
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.640
<v Speaker 2>way for you to prove that you didn't get it done,

358
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:06.680
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. So just another reason why

359
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:12.920
<v Speaker 2>you should trust them, and they trust in themselves that

360
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:15.079
<v Speaker 2>much to where they don't worry at all about you

361
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:17.359
<v Speaker 2>not being able to truly benefit from what they provide.

362
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:20.359
<v Speaker 2>When it comes to rectilasfunction, low testosterone. They can help

363
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:23.680
<v Speaker 2>you with that, hair restoration, weight loss therapy, a lot

364
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:27.119
<v Speaker 2>of different ways they can help you, gentlemen, and you

365
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:28.519
<v Speaker 2>don't know until you give them a call and go

366
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:30.920
<v Speaker 2>talk to them. Right Like, I try my best to

367
00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:36.240
<v Speaker 2>really emphasize that you may just assume that everything's great,

368
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:38.720
<v Speaker 2>and you know, maybe you don't feel like you did

369
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:41.799
<v Speaker 2>seven eight years ago, and that's not alarming to you

370
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:45.000
<v Speaker 2>because you realize, you know, instead of being thirty seven,

371
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:47.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm forty four. And yeah, there is a difference in that,

372
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:51.720
<v Speaker 2>but you could be feeling like you could be feeling

373
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:53.680
<v Speaker 2>like you're sixty six, but you just think that it's

374
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:56.039
<v Speaker 2>feeling like forty four because that's just what you just assume.

375
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:57.720
<v Speaker 3>It's part of being old. No, that was me.

376
00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:02.799
<v Speaker 2>I felt like aged rapidly in about a four or

377
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:04.960
<v Speaker 2>five year stretch, and I just assume, well, hey, that's life.

378
00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:08.480
<v Speaker 2>And then sure enough I started to hear the messaging

379
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:10.160
<v Speaker 2>from the Louis of Men's Clinic as far as what

380
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:13.000
<v Speaker 2>they can do for folks, and I'm like, you know what,

381
00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:16.559
<v Speaker 2>maybe maybe I do have low testoster like, maybe that's

382
00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:19.079
<v Speaker 2>why I'm lethargic. Maybe that's why I no longer get

383
00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:21.599
<v Speaker 2>the same results in the gym. And then of course

384
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:23.880
<v Speaker 2>they made it clear, yes, listen, if you are in

385
00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:26.359
<v Speaker 2>your thirties, you're not an old man, but you start

386
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:29.680
<v Speaker 2>to lose testosterone development year by year, and that matters.

387
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:34.400
<v Speaker 2>So I now no longer have low TEE and I

388
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:36.960
<v Speaker 2>feel younger in the last year and a half than

389
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:39.240
<v Speaker 2>I did for a really good stretch of my early

390
00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:42.440
<v Speaker 2>mid thirties. And it's all thanks to Louis Men's Clinics.

391
00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:44.240
<v Speaker 2>So check them out online LOUISVI Men's Clinic dot com.

392
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Give them a call FABO two four four four four thousand.

393
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:49.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, on the other side, we'll talk a little

394
00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.279
<v Speaker 2>bit about well, let's like talk some college football. There's

395
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:53.559
<v Speaker 2>a few different things I want to get to when

396
00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:55.960
<v Speaker 2>it comes to college football. One, the new rule that

397
00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:57.839
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be in place to try to combat

398
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:02.079
<v Speaker 2>the fake injuries that are clearly happening as a strategic move,

399
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:04.119
<v Speaker 2>I think this is the best thing you can do

400
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:07.400
<v Speaker 2>as far as really holding people accountable. And you know,

401
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:11.759
<v Speaker 2>it's not really a it's not really a I mean

402
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:14.279
<v Speaker 2>it's basically, look, if you're really hurt, we'll know, and

403
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:16.720
<v Speaker 2>if you're not, we'll know as well, and you'll get

404
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:17.400
<v Speaker 2>you'll get a penalty.

405
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:17.960
<v Speaker 3>So we'll get to that.

406
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:21.799
<v Speaker 2>Also, I think there's a little bit of a hypocrisy

407
00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:26.400
<v Speaker 2>here with Mark Stoops as far as a roster edition

408
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:28.960
<v Speaker 2>that Kentucky's made. We'll talk about it next right here

409
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:30.119
<v Speaker 2>on Sports Talk seven ninety.

410
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:34.559
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

411
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

412
00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:43.440
<v Speaker 2>That's right, Coffee and Company rolling along here on a

413
00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:50.119
<v Speaker 2>Thursday afternoon. I mean, I wasn't going to bring this up,

414
00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:52.279
<v Speaker 2>but because I had to hesitate there to tell you

415
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:54.039
<v Speaker 2>what day it is, which I'm sure you knew that

416
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:57.640
<v Speaker 2>it is Thursday, but I did not because I had

417
00:20:58.039 --> 00:21:01.519
<v Speaker 2>the ultimate like punch to the gut as far as morale,

418
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:03.880
<v Speaker 2>because for some I don't know how I did it,

419
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:05.720
<v Speaker 2>but somehow I woke up this morning. It was like

420
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:09.559
<v Speaker 2>three forty five, and uh, I didn't wake up to

421
00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:11.000
<v Speaker 2>start the day. I wake up, woke up because I

422
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:13.519
<v Speaker 2>had to use the restroom, and I go back to bed,

423
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:17.039
<v Speaker 2>get my phone out, lay back in bed, and for

424
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:19.519
<v Speaker 2>whatever reason, I just thought it was Friday.

425
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:20.839
<v Speaker 3>I got up.

426
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:23.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, So I got up, got the kids dressed

427
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:27.839
<v Speaker 2>for school in daycare, I hit the road and come

428
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:30.920
<v Speaker 2>back to the crib. Got some stuff I need to

429
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:33.480
<v Speaker 2>do before I head out and venture into the office.

430
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.759
<v Speaker 2>And it was probably about eleven fifteen on Interstate sixty

431
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.640
<v Speaker 2>five when it hit me it's Thursday, not Friday, Son.

432
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:41.960
<v Speaker 5>Of a bitch.

433
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:45.559
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, I mean, just to be robbed of that

434
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:48.720
<v Speaker 2>of that feeling because Friday's Friday is a vibe.

435
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:49.599
<v Speaker 4>Oh dude, there's nothing on.

436
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:51.079
<v Speaker 3>I mean, come on now, Friday.

437
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:54.160
<v Speaker 4>Oh man, I just feel bad for your Yeah, I look.

438
00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:56.920
<v Speaker 2>He again, you know I'm not I'm bringing it up

439
00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:00.400
<v Speaker 2>for sympathy, But again, what do they say? Uh? God

440
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:03.200
<v Speaker 2>gives his toughest battles to his toughest soldiers, right, you

441
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:04.960
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, Like a lot of people wouldn't

442
00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:06.640
<v Speaker 2>be able to handle that like I am.

443
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:07.160
<v Speaker 3>But I mean I.

444
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:09.279
<v Speaker 5>Could just see that extra pep in your step. You're

445

<v Speaker 5>getting the kids ready, you're ready to start the day,

<v Speaker 5>you have your daily Thornton's trip, You're driving on.

447
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:16.200
<v Speaker 2>In oh I stopped at Thornton's left, I walked out

448
00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:18.680
<v Speaker 2>of Thornton's. I bet everybody saw me and said, look

449
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:21.160
<v Speaker 2>at that smirk. That guy thinks it's Friday. That guy

450
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:23.200
<v Speaker 2>thinks it's Friday. Do we have to tell him?

451
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:26.200
<v Speaker 5>Well, as long as you didn't tell anyone that you

452
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:27.480
<v Speaker 5>ran into have a good weekend.

453
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it was deflating, is what it was.

454
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:33.359
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I keep trucking along. You know, nothing

455
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:36.599
<v Speaker 2>could keep me down because Thursday's kind of the new Friday, right.

456
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:39.119
<v Speaker 4>I mean absolutely, it's pre Friday's right day.

457
00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:42.680
<v Speaker 5>I've been loving in my short years as being in

458
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:46.279
<v Speaker 5>thirties that I love when it's weekend time and like

459
00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:48.559
<v Speaker 5>I'm at a store or I'm just passing by somebody

460
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:50.920
<v Speaker 5>or just having a brief interaction telling them to have

461
00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:54.279
<v Speaker 5>a good weekend, because like it's the start of the weekend,

462
00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:56.839
<v Speaker 5>you know, like it's Friday. The vibes are high. You

463
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:01.640
<v Speaker 5>probably just made someone's day by saying it. So like everybody, everybody,

464
00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:05.279
<v Speaker 5>as bad as humanity can be all the time, we

465
00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:07.559
<v Speaker 5>are all united on a Friday.

466
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, And I know there are some people who their

467
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:13.599
<v Speaker 2>schedule is weird and it's just whatever they got to

468
00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:15.279
<v Speaker 2>do to make ends meet. Right, Maybe their job makes

469
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:16.640
<v Speaker 2>it to where the days that they're off or not

470
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:19.519
<v Speaker 2>a Friday, Saturday. Maybe it's like a Monday, Tuesday or whatever.

471
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:21.519
<v Speaker 2>I know, there's some folks that have worked at ups

472
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:23.279
<v Speaker 2>for a long time. A couple of my friends that me,

473
00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:27.000
<v Speaker 2>they they did you have that schedule? No, do you

474
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:28.839
<v Speaker 2>know what schedule I'm talking about? To where like Monday

475
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:31.640
<v Speaker 2>was part of their weekend. Yeah, like Sunday through Thursday

476
00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:33.599
<v Speaker 2>or No, I never had a work so I was.

477
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:35.759
<v Speaker 2>I was fortunate to be Monday through So you know what,

478
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:38.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you make the most of it. But I

479
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:40.799
<v Speaker 2>think you'd be lying to me if you told me like, yeah,

480
00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:42.880
<v Speaker 2>I prefer it this way. No, you don't, because when

481
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:46.920
<v Speaker 2>everybody's collectively off, it's it's you know, it's your downtime,

482
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:50.079
<v Speaker 2>it's it's yeah. And look, the song is a hit,

483
00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:53.240
<v Speaker 2>and it's a cliche for sure. By now, But it's

484
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:57.480
<v Speaker 2>also absolutely freaking true. Everybody's working for the weekend. That's right,

485
00:23:57.720 --> 00:24:00.720
<v Speaker 2>that's what you're building up for, you know. So I

486
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:01.559
<v Speaker 2>thought it was Friday.

487
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:01.960
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't.

488
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:04.559
<v Speaker 2>But you know what that means, like the joy because again,

489
00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:06.319
<v Speaker 2>Friday is the best day of the week, which I've

490
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:09.599
<v Speaker 2>always found that kind of like, I can't fight it.

491
00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:10.839
<v Speaker 3>Friday is my favorite day.

492
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:13.559
<v Speaker 2>But it's also a work day, but it kind of

493
00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:15.880
<v Speaker 2>doesn't feel like it, you know what I mean, like Saturday, Sunday.

494
00:24:16.279 --> 00:24:18.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, sometimes I have to do like sometimes we

495
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:21.079
<v Speaker 2>work games and stuff, but again I'm very lucky to

496
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:22.799
<v Speaker 2>wear what I do truly doesn't.

497
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:24.039
<v Speaker 3>Feel like a job like work.

498
00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:28.880
<v Speaker 2>But overall, the fact that Friday is still a regular

499
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:31.519
<v Speaker 2>work day for just about everybody, and yet it feels

500
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:34.359
<v Speaker 2>as good as any is any day of the weekend,

501
00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:36.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, at least for me, and I know I'm

502
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:38.559
<v Speaker 2>not alone. Like that just speaks to how special Friday is.

503
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:41.680
<v Speaker 2>So what's going to be great tomorrow is that at

504
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:44.119
<v Speaker 2>least for you know, five six hours, I was, I was,

505
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:46.559
<v Speaker 2>I was, I was in delusional thinking it was Friday.

506
00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:48.079
<v Speaker 3>But then tomorrow it's really gonna be Friday, and it's

507
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:48.519
<v Speaker 3>gonna be great.

508
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:50.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you get to have to fill in two days

509
00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:51.000
<v Speaker 4>in a row. That's awesome.

510
00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:52.680
<v Speaker 2>And we get out of here early because the bats

511
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:56.400
<v Speaker 2>come on at So I mean, it's all it's all

512
00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:56.920
<v Speaker 2>working out.

513
00:24:56.920 --> 00:24:58.720
<v Speaker 3>It's all working out for us, all right.

514
00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:03.079
<v Speaker 2>So the faking a cramp or faking an injury in

515
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:05.799
<v Speaker 2>college football, I feel like it's been a thing for

516
00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:10.880
<v Speaker 2>like ever, I really do, And it became such an

517
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:13.039
<v Speaker 2>obvious thing that like, I don't think many people were

518
00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:14.440
<v Speaker 2>that bent out of shape about it because it just

519
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:16.680
<v Speaker 2>became part of the sport that you know, hey, if

520
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:21.039
<v Speaker 2>you want to slow a team down, fall down. And overall,

521
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:21.680
<v Speaker 2>I think.

522
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:23.920
<v Speaker 3>There's a level of like, that's really that that's low class.

523
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:25.440
<v Speaker 3>How could you fake? How could you act like you're

524
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:26.079
<v Speaker 3>hurt when you're not.

525
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:27.960
<v Speaker 2>That's because in a way, it is kind of like

526
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:30.000
<v Speaker 2>an awful thing to do, especially if you know you've

527
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:32.400
<v Speaker 2>got people out there running to help you that are worried,

528
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:34.079
<v Speaker 2>and like, you know, you're just doing it.

529
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:35.240
<v Speaker 3>Because your coach told you to fall.

530
00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:37.519
<v Speaker 2>And there have been some examples of like there's no

531
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:39.920
<v Speaker 2>way anybody could ever like you can't prove it, But

532
00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:43.319
<v Speaker 2>there have been some real visual evidence that shows like

533
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:46.319
<v Speaker 2>you're not like you clearly looked over to the sideline

534
00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:49.160
<v Speaker 2>your you know, linebacker coach told you to, you know,

535
00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:52.200
<v Speaker 2>act like you were dying, and sure enough they showed

536
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:54.839
<v Speaker 2>the replay. After looking at your coach on the sideline,

537
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:56.680
<v Speaker 2>you would have thought there was a sniper in the

538
00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:58.960
<v Speaker 2>nosebleed section that just took you out because you're falling,

539
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:02.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, because you fell down. So it became a real,

540
00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:07.440
<v Speaker 2>you know issue where people were just bitching about it,

541
00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:09.839
<v Speaker 2>and maybe I'm sure still people still were and are,

542
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:12.400
<v Speaker 2>but I just think it literally became part of college

543
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:16.880
<v Speaker 2>football and that's not a good thing. So thankfully they

544
00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:21.599
<v Speaker 2>are doing something to hold you accountable if you, you know,

545
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:24.640
<v Speaker 2>take advantage of literally knowing that if you were a

546
00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:26.920
<v Speaker 2>hurt player out here playing a physical game, yeah we're

547
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:28.920
<v Speaker 2>going to stop the game because we're worried about your health.

548
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:30.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean, the more I think.

549
00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:32.160
<v Speaker 2>About it, it just became so acceptable. But it is

550
00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:34.359
<v Speaker 2>really a blame thing to do in all aspects. I know,

551
00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:36.160
<v Speaker 2>I maybe sound like a you know, an old man,

552
00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:38.680
<v Speaker 2>get off my lawn kind of stuff, but anyways, here's

553
00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:42.759
<v Speaker 2>here's what's here is the new rule to combat these

554
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:47.400
<v Speaker 2>fake injuries that the NSABA announced. If medical personnel are

555
00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:50.640
<v Speaker 2>forced to enter the field of play to evaluate an

556
00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:54.519
<v Speaker 2>injured player after the ball is spotted by the officiating crew,

557
00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:58.960
<v Speaker 2>the player's team will be charged to time out. If

558
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:02.000
<v Speaker 2>that team doesn't have any remaining timeouts, a five yard

559
00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:05.240
<v Speaker 2>delay of game penalty is going to be assessed. I

560
00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:08.680
<v Speaker 2>think this holds you accountable. And let's be real, in

561
00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:12.920
<v Speaker 2>certain situations, depending upon where you are in the game,

562
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:18.359
<v Speaker 2>maybe you realize we're really vulnerable right now. We will

563
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:20.400
<v Speaker 2>we will, we'll burn a time out because we'll we

564
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:22.839
<v Speaker 2>got to stop them, meaning they're they're going. Because it

565
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:24.839
<v Speaker 2>really comes down to just trying to slow a team down.

566
00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:28.079
<v Speaker 2>That's that's what it is. That that that became, and

567
00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:30.680
<v Speaker 2>really it becomes such it becomes such a component to

568
00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:33.960
<v Speaker 2>college football gamesmanship and competitiveness that if you're a head

569
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:36.160
<v Speaker 2>coach not utilizing that to slow a team down, you're

570
00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:39.559
<v Speaker 2>kind of not doing your job. So this this won't

571
00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:42.480
<v Speaker 2>eliminate it all together. There still will be it occasionally.

572
00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:45.559
<v Speaker 2>I think a coach that will say, we'll live with

573
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:48.200
<v Speaker 2>the five yard delay a game because we just we

574
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:49.160
<v Speaker 2>we got to slow them down.

575
00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:52.519
<v Speaker 3>So I think this is good news.

576
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:55.240
<v Speaker 2>And I really think this is not like because because

577
00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:58.440
<v Speaker 2>the NCAA is kind of in a tough spot that

578
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:03.799
<v Speaker 2>they mean, you don't know for sure if anybody's faking.

579
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:07.079
<v Speaker 2>You have a good idea, but like you really don't know,

580
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:11.200
<v Speaker 2>and it'd be terrible to, like, you know, implement something

581
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:14.240
<v Speaker 2>like Nope, get up, we know you're faking it, and

582
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:16.480
<v Speaker 2>then like they try to walk off and you realize, no,

583
00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:16.920
<v Speaker 2>they're really hurt.

584
00:28:16.920 --> 00:28:18.240
<v Speaker 3>You got to get them out of their an ambulance.

585
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:20.680
<v Speaker 3>So I think it's a good move. I really do.

586
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:25.319
<v Speaker 2>And when it comes to sports, that sticking with college

587
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:27.079
<v Speaker 2>FOOTBA here, when it comes to sports that I really

588
00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:34.759
<v Speaker 2>love college basketball, clearly, NFL, college football, really in no

589
00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:37.200
<v Speaker 2>particular order. I mean, I have more of a passion

590
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:40.119
<v Speaker 2>for college basketball, and it's something I really nerd out

591
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:41.240
<v Speaker 2>on more than anything else.

592
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:42.480
<v Speaker 3>But I love all three of those.

593
00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:45.759
<v Speaker 2>And when I think of sports and everything that comes

594
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:48.519
<v Speaker 2>with it that I enjoy, it's those three NFL, college football,

595
00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:51.519
<v Speaker 2>college basketball, and then the occasional NBA, I guess or

596
00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:55.720
<v Speaker 2>maybe in a different life, so with that college football

597
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:59.359
<v Speaker 2>it had the way it is such a such a

598
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:03.880
<v Speaker 2>thing within the culture in certain areas of America, specifically

599
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:06.680
<v Speaker 2>the South, like it's it's a special like college football

600
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:10.279
<v Speaker 2>has given us some stories that are so wild but

601
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:12.799
<v Speaker 2>great that like no other sport could give us, and

602
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:15.240
<v Speaker 2>I think this is one of them. So obviously the

603
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.079
<v Speaker 2>biggest news in the last week in college football has

604
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:20.440
<v Speaker 2>been Nico say it Austin.

605
00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:21.400
<v Speaker 3>What's his name?

606
00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:30.400
<v Speaker 5>Nico Yama, Lama Yama, Nico Yama Layava.

607
00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:31.480
<v Speaker 4>Yama, Layava.

608
00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:34.880
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I got it here. That is a yah, okay yah.

609
00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:40.119
<v Speaker 2>So his whole holdout that of course led to uh,

610
00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:43.720
<v Speaker 2>led to him basically being booted. I mean, I don't

611
00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:46.000
<v Speaker 2>know if and by the way, how I do love

612
00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the the insane spend zone here like there's

613
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:53.720
<v Speaker 2>no way, like let me let me back up, I'm

614
00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:55.400
<v Speaker 2>spending my wheels here, not making any sense because I

615
00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:58.920
<v Speaker 2>didn't really, I mean, I'm speechless because it just the

616
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:03.319
<v Speaker 2>gall from the Nico family to act like this wasn't

617
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:07.319
<v Speaker 2>about money is insulting to society that you would think

618
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:13.680
<v Speaker 2>anybody would believe your nonsense. So there's no way that

619
00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:19.839
<v Speaker 2>Nico's dad thinks that anybody believes their side of This

620
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:22.519
<v Speaker 2>is the actual situation and the way it went down

621
00:30:24.519 --> 00:30:25.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they want you to think that it wasn't

622
00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:29.319
<v Speaker 2>about the money. It was the offense, or it was

623
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:31.920
<v Speaker 2>the personnel, but definitely not the money. Definitely one of

624
00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:34.640
<v Speaker 2>those two had nothing to do with money. Like I

625
00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:37.559
<v Speaker 2>think that makes them look as bad as anything. Like

626
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:39.119
<v Speaker 2>just say it was about money and you, I mean,

627
00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:40.319
<v Speaker 2>you didn't even have to come out and say you

628
00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:42.400
<v Speaker 2>played your hand wrong in man, you screwed your son,

629
00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:47.720
<v Speaker 2>but like to double down as if it wasn't about money,

630
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:51.720
<v Speaker 2>while last week trying to make you know, trying to

631
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:54.240
<v Speaker 2>ruin the career of a young reporter who actually was

632
00:30:54.359 --> 00:30:57.720
<v Speaker 2>right and stuck to their guns. And I don't know

633
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:00.319
<v Speaker 2>much about Pete Nako's he's at on three Sports, and

634
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:01.480
<v Speaker 2>I think he's like twelve years old.

635
00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:01.759
<v Speaker 4>I'm not.

636
00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I doubt he's that young, But like, have

637
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:07.359
<v Speaker 2>you ever seen this guy Austin, Look up, Look up

638
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Pete Nakos. He's on three sports is and he does

639
00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:13.440
<v Speaker 2>good works. He's the on three Sports transfer portal guy

640
00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:15.240
<v Speaker 2>for both college basketball and college football.

641
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:17.759
<v Speaker 3>But he's a young young man.

642
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:19.640
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, I think he looks like he's like

643
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:21.920
<v Speaker 2>if you told me he was thirteen, I would believe it.

644
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:24.000
<v Speaker 3>Let me know when you find him.

645
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:27.160
<v Speaker 2>But anyways, he reported on it stuck to his guns

646
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:30.240
<v Speaker 2>and I do a great move by who is it?

647
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:30.559
<v Speaker 3>Shannon?

648
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:31.799
<v Speaker 2>I can't think of the guy's name, and it's really

649
00:31:31.799 --> 00:31:34.440
<v Speaker 2>not important, but I just like when you know, people

650
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:37.640
<v Speaker 2>take advantage of good opportunities when it comes to a

651
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:40.720
<v Speaker 2>PR bump. And Shannon Terry is the owner of on

652
00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:43.119
<v Speaker 2>three Sports and he did a public like, you know,

653
00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:46.200
<v Speaker 2>gave a contract extension and a raise to young Pete

654
00:31:46.279 --> 00:31:47.599
<v Speaker 2>Nacos and you know.

655
00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:48.960
<v Speaker 3>They had video footage of it.

656
00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:51.119
<v Speaker 2>And it's because look, this guy got called out by

657
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Nico's dad that he was lying, and he was calling

658
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:56.240
<v Speaker 2>him names like being really childish and just vile. I

659
00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:58.440
<v Speaker 2>mean with some of the things he called. This young

660
00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:01.279
<v Speaker 2>reporter looks very young. I told you he's thirteen.

661
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:04.000
<v Speaker 5>You believe you, right, yeah, absolutely, yeah, So he looks

662
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.559
<v Speaker 5>like someone's taken their son to take your kids' school day.

663
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:09.440
<v Speaker 2>And to be fair to this guy, I mean here

664
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:11.680
<v Speaker 2>I am like talking about how you know, I don't.

665
00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:13.599
<v Speaker 3>I can't believe he's even old enough to have this job.

666
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:19.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure he gets, you know, taken less serious than

667
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:21.440
<v Speaker 2>others because of his age. That was me when I'm

668
00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:23.440
<v Speaker 2>not that way now, but when I first started, I

669
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:26.079
<v Speaker 2>mean I remember people telling me like, yeah, like I

670
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:29.559
<v Speaker 2>like sports radio, but you're twenty six, how can we relate?

671
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:31.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm fifty five. I don't want to listen to you.

672
00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:33.319
<v Speaker 2>And I get it, you know what I mean Like that,

673
00:32:33.440 --> 00:32:35.880
<v Speaker 2>So shout out to that guy, and shout out to

674
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:39.400
<v Speaker 2>on three for recognizing that he broke the biggest story

675
00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:41.599
<v Speaker 2>that we've had in the off season of college football

676
00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:44.039
<v Speaker 2>so far, and by the way, the first ever time

677
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:46.000
<v Speaker 2>this has happened where a guy held out for more

678
00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:49.720
<v Speaker 2>money as a college football player in the school after

679
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:53.359
<v Speaker 2>making the college football Playoff with said quarterback, they were

680
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:56.880
<v Speaker 2>forced to cut ties. So anyways, back to Nico. Clearly,

681
00:32:56.920 --> 00:33:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee has a humongous fan based big following to see

682
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:04.400
<v Speaker 2>being good is always the reminder that they're massive. They

683
00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:07.039
<v Speaker 2>have a huge fan base, they care so much. They

684
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:09.079
<v Speaker 2>just haven't quite been as good. I mean, they haven't

685
00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:11.160
<v Speaker 2>been good in a long time in football until Josh

686
00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Heibel got there, and in basketball they've never even made

687
00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:16.599
<v Speaker 2>a Final four. But like when they're good, they have

688
00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:19.480
<v Speaker 2>sold out stadiums, like they have a huge fan base

689
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:21.480
<v Speaker 2>that cares. In fact, they won the national championship in

690
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:23.680
<v Speaker 2>baseball last year College World Series, and that was a

691
00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:26.240
<v Speaker 2>reminder of how much Knoxville I mean, and really just

692
00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:28.680
<v Speaker 2>the state of Tennessee. Like they're an army, a big army.

693
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:31.039
<v Speaker 2>So this is the story that I just think. It's

694
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:33.119
<v Speaker 2>one of the examples of what I cut college football.

695
00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:38.200
<v Speaker 2>It's just different and it's special. There was apparently a

696
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:42.440
<v Speaker 2>let make sure I get this this gentleman's title correct,

697
00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:48.240
<v Speaker 2>because what a guy. So according to w VLT, a

698
00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:52.319
<v Speaker 2>CBS affiliate in Knoxville, there's a pastor named Josh Sullivan

699
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:56.119
<v Speaker 2>from East Tennessee who was rescued from a kidnapping in

700
00:33:56.200 --> 00:33:59.559
<v Speaker 2>South Africa during a shootout on Tuesday night.

701
00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:01.240
<v Speaker 3>Scary situation, right.

702
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:04.359
<v Speaker 2>One of the first reports heard from South Africa after

703
00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:08.400
<v Speaker 2>he was rescued that he was still very upset over

704
00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:14.119
<v Speaker 2>the Nico situation. A pastor from Tennessee kidnapped in South

705
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Africa during a shootout and when rescued, instead of you know,

706
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:23.800
<v Speaker 2>reflection about life, he's still thinking about Nico holding out

707
00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:27.119
<v Speaker 2>for money and leaving, which I didn't realize that Nico was.

708
00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:28.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, anytime you have a quarterback and you're good.

709
00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Fans are gonna love him, but he's apparently a fan favorite,

710
00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:33.719
<v Speaker 2>like not only because he was good, but like he

711
00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:37.280
<v Speaker 2>seemed to really like appreciate Knoxville. Think about like the

712
00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:40.119
<v Speaker 2>way Louisville players this year. You could tell they were

713
00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:41.440
<v Speaker 2>able to pick up on the fact that they were

714
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:43.920
<v Speaker 2>bringing us back to life and they fed off that. Well,

715
00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:46.880
<v Speaker 2>this guy was was beloved and then you know, Dad

716
00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:49.320
<v Speaker 2>wanted more money and Night's gone. But is that not

717
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:51.960
<v Speaker 2>like a testament to like it's just different. Man, Like

718
00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:55.400
<v Speaker 2>I make fun of the sec at times for this saying,

719
00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:58.760
<v Speaker 2>but it's also true. It means more to them because

720
00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:02.800
<v Speaker 2>it's their life. Literally, I mean, it's this guy almost

721
00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:04.960
<v Speaker 2>lost his life and instead of just realizing, hey, I

722
00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:06.599
<v Speaker 2>got a lot to be thankful for, like you know,

723
00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:10.159
<v Speaker 2>my family, my faith, my church that I'm a pastor

724
00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:13.679
<v Speaker 2>of guys just thinking about Nico, man, just thinking about

725
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:14.679
<v Speaker 2>Nico and how he got away.

726
00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:17.159
<v Speaker 4>It's a movement. I mean, isn't that.

727
00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:19.719
<v Speaker 2>You can't make this stuff up or we gotta get

728
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:20.800

00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:09.840
<v Speaker 4>Don't forget.

744
00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:11.840
<v Speaker 2>You can also listen to anything that you might have missed.

745
00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:15.760
<v Speaker 2>The podcast is usually up in full by the time

746
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:18.880
<v Speaker 2>the show ends because the travel Chief he's up there

747
00:36:18.920 --> 00:36:21.000
<v Speaker 2>slicing the audio throughout the show to where we got

748
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:24.079
<v Speaker 2>hour one, hour two usually up before the show ends.

749
00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:26.239
<v Speaker 4>So that's right, hour ones uploaded. Now there you go.

750
00:36:26.480 --> 00:36:29.199
<v Speaker 2>There you go, So little time left here before we

751
00:36:29.239 --> 00:36:31.880
<v Speaker 2>get to five o'clock. So one of the things I

752
00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:34.000
<v Speaker 2>wanted to and we are a little bit a little

753
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:36.239
<v Speaker 2>bit of a shorter show today because of the Bats game,

754
00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:37.920
<v Speaker 2>and again, congrats to the Bats. They got they got

755
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:40.840
<v Speaker 2>the dub, and obviously you know they needed it, they'd

756
00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:43.760
<v Speaker 2>lost the first two. So we got some good energy today.

757
00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Nothing better than starting a show when you're delayed because

758
00:36:47.480 --> 00:36:49.480
<v Speaker 2>of a game and you know that the team won.

759
00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:52.039
<v Speaker 2>It feels like we're winners too. We're taking We're gonna

760
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:54.320
<v Speaker 2>steal some of that success from the from the Bats

761
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:56.960
<v Speaker 2>today and I hope that they don't mind. But I

762
00:36:57.000 --> 00:37:00.599
<v Speaker 2>cannot be the only one that saw early here today.

763
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:04.679
<v Speaker 2>I guess more so this morning before noon, about eight

764
00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:09.119
<v Speaker 2>different national outlets all posting a picture of someone with

765
00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:14.719
<v Speaker 2>breaking news, and the picture of the person was somebody

766
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:19.599
<v Speaker 2>who looks to be, you know, very old, elderly, And

767
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:22.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm happy that this wasn't what I thought it was.

768
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:25.519
<v Speaker 2>But before reading exactly what the news was, I thought

769
00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:29.159
<v Speaker 2>they were telling us that Lee Corso was dead. I mean,

770
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:31.159
<v Speaker 2>I think, can we say that without like it? I'm

771
00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:34.320
<v Speaker 2>not making a joke, but like when you see somebody

772
00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:39.360
<v Speaker 2>of that age that you know, I mean, like that's

773
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:40.239
<v Speaker 2>not insensitive, is it?

774
00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:41.119
<v Speaker 1>No?

775
00:37:41.239 --> 00:37:43.719
<v Speaker 5>I mean I mean because I understood the context, because

776
00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:46.519
<v Speaker 5>I saw it come in during lifetime. But even though

777
00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:49.679
<v Speaker 5>had knowing that, while I was still scrolling, I was

778
00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:51.800
<v Speaker 5>still seeing the same pictures that you were speaking of,

779
00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:53.639
<v Speaker 5>and I'm and I just had to keep looking at it.

780
00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:55.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, wait a minute, that does say retired.

781
00:37:55.719 --> 00:37:57.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so, and that's what did it.

782
00:37:57.199 --> 00:38:00.480
<v Speaker 2>I just whenever I go to the for you section

783
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:02.239
<v Speaker 2>of Twitter, and I haven't been on Twitter in a

784
00:38:02.239 --> 00:38:05.599
<v Speaker 2>couple of hours, the algorithm does no sort of like

785
00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:08.800
<v Speaker 2>I majority of what I follow and try to keep

786
00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:12.000
<v Speaker 2>up with and engage, I didn't really engage with the content,

787
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:13.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't think because if I don't know, I guess

788
00:38:13.679 --> 00:38:16.400
<v Speaker 2>if you like it, like you hit that heart, that's

789
00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:18.599
<v Speaker 2>considered engagement. And I guess because I like a lot

790
00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:21.199
<v Speaker 2>of those things, and then I reference my likes within

791
00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:23.719
<v Speaker 2>Twitter to really prepare for the show. I guess That's

792
00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:26.199
<v Speaker 2>why when I go to the for you, I typically

793
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:28.840
<v Speaker 2>get things that are in fact for me that I'm

794
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:31.800
<v Speaker 2>interested in. But I'm just thinking, oh, like, it wasn't

795
00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:33.519
<v Speaker 2>as if I thought for a minute he was dead,

796
00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:36.840
<v Speaker 2>but like, it's the first five tweets I see that

797
00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:41.800
<v Speaker 2>all came in from like on three sports, CBS, ESPN,

798
00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:44.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean all the big the big brands breaking this

799
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:47.639
<v Speaker 2>news and then it was and I'll give them credit

800
00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:51.719
<v Speaker 2>because they helped me quickly, you know, eliminate the sadness

801
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:53.840
<v Speaker 2>that would have set in because the ON three graphic

802
00:38:54.239 --> 00:38:59.159
<v Speaker 2>shows the Brutus the Buckeye hugging Corso, and then in

803
00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:01.960
<v Speaker 2>the graphic they have a green tent at the bottom

804
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:06.119
<v Speaker 2>that says retired. It it is said dead, you know, which

805
00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:08.800
<v Speaker 2>they probably wouldn't have done that, but if you've seen

806
00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:10.480
<v Speaker 2>some of the like ON three is kind of the

807
00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:14.000
<v Speaker 2>lame of the of the well. I shouldn't say lame,

808
00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:15.719
<v Speaker 2>but like because there's some guys I know that work

809
00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:18.320
<v Speaker 2>there and they do good job, but like I don't know,

810
00:39:19.079 --> 00:39:23.119
<v Speaker 2>they are probably not yet viewed to have the same

811
00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:24.280
<v Speaker 2>level of like like the.

812
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:28.039
<v Speaker 4>Immate Younger Brothers. They're aw wrong perfect.

813
00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:31.519
<v Speaker 2>They're aw perfect wrestling because they clearly have good resources

814
00:39:31.559 --> 00:39:35.000
<v Speaker 2>and they have some good people, but like they try

815
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:38.559
<v Speaker 2>to they have they have a database of nil evaluator.

816
00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:40.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, I don't care what numbers you're crunching or

817
00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:43.400
<v Speaker 2>what formerly you have. That's a waste of everybody's time.

818
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:46.280
<v Speaker 2>There's no way you were able to determine every athlete's

819
00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:48.320
<v Speaker 2>worth in nil, like you don't know that because I

820
00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:49.679
<v Speaker 2>could just go ahead and say, well, I got five

821
00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:51.480
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand I'm gonna give to this player. You're wrong,

822
00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:55.119
<v Speaker 2>Like it's just to me, it's a desperation as far

823
00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:57.960
<v Speaker 2>as a force to try to like know that we have,

824
00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:02.199
<v Speaker 2>like anybody trying to claim that they have the ability

825
00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:04.199
<v Speaker 2>to determine certain things like that. I mean, it's just

826
00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:07.000
<v Speaker 2>it's it's almost insulting. But again, no offense to them.

827
00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:09.039
<v Speaker 2>It's just they're trying to make their mark, right. They're

828
00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:13.280
<v Speaker 2>not twenty four seven Sports, they're not ESPN, and you

829
00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:16.199
<v Speaker 2>know they're they're the new guy. And as we talked

830
00:40:16.239 --> 00:40:18.679
<v Speaker 2>about earlier, they've got the guy who looks like he's thirteen,

831
00:40:18.679 --> 00:40:20.159
<v Speaker 2>but he's doing good work, so shout out to him.

832
00:40:20.159 --> 00:40:23.400
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, of course, always going to retire after thirty

833
00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:28.760
<v Speaker 2>eight seasons, and obviously he is the first person I

834
00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:31.760
<v Speaker 2>really think of when I think of game Day, and

835
00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:36.719
<v Speaker 2>I really really love that he's going out like on

836
00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:40.880
<v Speaker 2>his own, and he had the perfect role I think

837
00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:43.159
<v Speaker 2>for the last however many years he's been, you know,

838
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:47.519
<v Speaker 2>kind of just doing that because like Dick fi tell

839
00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:51.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, he's clearly had really rough struggles with with

840
00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:54.079
<v Speaker 2>help and cancer, and you know, it's just been a

841
00:40:54.119 --> 00:40:57.280
<v Speaker 2>really consistent battle for him for for a long time.

842
00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:00.840
<v Speaker 2>And I just think it would be such an obvious

843
00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:04.239
<v Speaker 2>move for Dick Vytell to not be broadcasting games to

844
00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:06.079
<v Speaker 2>where it would take a lot out of his is

845
00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:08.519
<v Speaker 2>probably take a lot out of him over overall, but

846
00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:10.920
<v Speaker 2>like he should be game day he should be the

847
00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:13.800
<v Speaker 2>game day guy. Because this is gonna sound like I'm

848
00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:17.000
<v Speaker 2>insulting Dicky V and I'm not. He he's like the

849
00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:20.760
<v Speaker 2>mascot of college basketball. He's the cheerleader of college basketball.

850
00:41:20.760 --> 00:41:22.039
<v Speaker 2>And I know that sounds like I'm be littling him,

851
00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:25.119
<v Speaker 2>but I'm not like he when people who don't maybe

852
00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:27.320
<v Speaker 2>not as much now because you know, he was away

853
00:41:27.360 --> 00:41:30.039
<v Speaker 2>for years and he's so much older now, But when

854
00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:32.280
<v Speaker 2>you weren't into college basketball in the nineties of the

855
00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:34.679
<v Speaker 2>two thousands like we are around here, when you think

856
00:41:34.679 --> 00:41:36.800
<v Speaker 2>of college basketball, one of the first people that comes

857
00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:38.519
<v Speaker 2>to mind for you might have been Dick by Tell

858
00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:39.320
<v Speaker 2>because he.

859
00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:40.480
<v Speaker 3>Yo about the baby.

860
00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:43.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, like that's just you know, it was,

861
00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:46.639
<v Speaker 2>and it's annoying to some people, but like he helped

862
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:50.559
<v Speaker 2>spread the you know, spread college basketball around the people.

863
00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:53.320
<v Speaker 2>So I just think hearing him on a game makes

864
00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:56.639
<v Speaker 2>me sad actually, because it's such a force. Now again,

865
00:41:57.280 --> 00:41:59.360
<v Speaker 2>he's done enough for the sport and for ESPN that

866
00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:00.679
<v Speaker 2>if that's what he wants to do and they want

867
00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:02.679
<v Speaker 2>to honor that, good on them, because not a lot

868
00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:05.639
<v Speaker 2>of people get that courtesy. But anyways, shout out to

869
00:42:05.679 --> 00:42:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Lee Corso. We're going to retire after this year. And

870
00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:10.159
<v Speaker 2>I oftentimes forget he coached Louisville. It was long before

871
00:42:10.199 --> 00:42:11.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, I was alive.

872
00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:15.599
<v Speaker 3>But did you know that Austin Lee Corso was Louisvill's

873
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:16.400
<v Speaker 3>coach at one point?

874
00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:19.599
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I feel like coach Tom Jackson, I think at

875
00:42:19.599 --> 00:42:20.960
<v Speaker 2>that time, Humble.

876
00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:22.719
<v Speaker 4>Bragg, I feel like I've known that for a long time.

877
00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:25.199
<v Speaker 2>I think that you as somebody who didn't grow up

878
00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:27.000
<v Speaker 2>in Louisville, but obviously you've always been a Louisville fan,

879
00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:29.239
<v Speaker 2>like that would be something that really, like, you know,

880
00:42:29.239 --> 00:42:31.679
<v Speaker 2>when you're telling people in Arizona about Louisville, Oh yeah,

881
00:42:31.719 --> 00:42:34.159
<v Speaker 2>Lee Corso used to coaches like that's worth bringing.

882
00:42:33.960 --> 00:42:36.400
<v Speaker 4>Up, right, Absolutely, I had that in the chamber.

883
00:42:36.519 --> 00:42:37.519
<v Speaker 3>He was good too, by the way.

884
00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:41.840
<v Speaker 2>He went twenty eight and eleven overall from nineteen sixty

885
00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:43.840
<v Speaker 2>nine to nineteen seventy two. So when you think about

886
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Louisville football, maybe not being on the matt nationally, but

887
00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:50.639
<v Speaker 2>at least, you know, getting some sustainable success in in

888
00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:53.559
<v Speaker 2>the late sixties early seventies in the Missouri Valley Conference.

889
00:42:54.199 --> 00:42:56.159
<v Speaker 2>The man Lee Corso was a part of that.

890
00:42:56.360 --> 00:43:01.320
<v Speaker 5>Wasn't during Durham during Lamar's Heisman year when we had

891
00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:03.920
<v Speaker 5>that game against Florida State, and I remember that being

892
00:43:03.960 --> 00:43:06.760
<v Speaker 5>a big thing was seeing, ah, who's what what what

893
00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:09.119
<v Speaker 5>mascot had? Is Lee Corso gonna put on? Because he

894
00:43:09.119 --> 00:43:11.639
<v Speaker 5>had the ties of Florida State. Oh yeah, So I

895
00:43:11.679 --> 00:43:13.920
<v Speaker 5>remember that being like, dude, he he.

896
00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:17.079
<v Speaker 3>Was sitting up there. I'm not kidding you. I have goosebumps.

897
00:43:17.800 --> 00:43:18.719
<v Speaker 3>He was sitting up.

898
00:43:18.599 --> 00:43:24.960
<v Speaker 2>There and Layla Ali was up there as the celebrity guest,

899
00:43:25.159 --> 00:43:27.320
<v Speaker 2>and you were right. I think there's a lot of

900
00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:29.280
<v Speaker 2>people thinking he was going to go Florida State because

901
00:43:29.320 --> 00:43:31.079
<v Speaker 2>of his affiliation there in some capacity.

902
00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:32.159
<v Speaker 3>I think he went to school there.

903
00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:34.719
<v Speaker 2>But he put the cardinal bird head on and like

904
00:43:35.639 --> 00:43:37.840
<v Speaker 2>they ran on the field, they kicked that thing off

905
00:43:38.039 --> 00:43:39.920
<v Speaker 2>and we all know what happened that was such a

906
00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:43.000
<v Speaker 2>such a day, such a such a special.

907
00:43:42.679 --> 00:43:44.519
<v Speaker 5>That literally happened in the span of like a couple

908
00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:46.719
<v Speaker 5>of minutes. Once once you put that mascot head on,

909
00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:47.800
<v Speaker 5>then there was kick off.

910
00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:49.679
<v Speaker 2>And I didn't I didn't predict that they would win

911
00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:52.599
<v Speaker 2>the way that they did, but everything about the lead

912
00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:55.440
<v Speaker 2>up to that, and then in the moment once they

913
00:43:55.480 --> 00:43:58.320
<v Speaker 2>started kicking their ass, I think we all were like, yeah,

914
00:43:58.360 --> 00:43:59.679
<v Speaker 2>we knew this was gonna have you you know what

915
00:43:59.679 --> 00:44:01.679
<v Speaker 2>I means. Easy to say that when it's happening. But

916
00:44:01.719 --> 00:44:06.679
<v Speaker 2>like the Lamar and the Heisman that year, it was

917
00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:10.559
<v Speaker 2>the perfect storm because he he ended the season the

918
00:44:10.599 --> 00:44:14.239
<v Speaker 2>year before, putting up numbers that nobody else had in

919
00:44:14.320 --> 00:44:18.719
<v Speaker 2>the Music City Bowl against against Texas A and M,

920
00:44:18.840 --> 00:44:21.760
<v Speaker 2>and they were good, Yeah exactly, and that was like, Okay,

921
00:44:21.760 --> 00:44:23.679
<v Speaker 2>this guy's crazy. Well then they play on a Thursday

922
00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:26.679
<v Speaker 2>night to open up his sophomore season. He has eight touchdowns.

923
00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Then they go on the road to Syracuse and I

924
00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:31.440
<v Speaker 2>was fortunate to be there. That's where he had that

925
00:44:31.440 --> 00:44:33.719
<v Speaker 2>That's where and again this was a benefit. It was

926
00:44:33.760 --> 00:44:36.119
<v Speaker 2>a Friday night, no competition as far as what other

927
00:44:36.159 --> 00:44:38.559
<v Speaker 2>games you're going to watch, and he lit up Syracuse

928
00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:41.519
<v Speaker 2>and did what he's now done ever since. But like

929
00:44:41.760 --> 00:44:45.239
<v Speaker 2>I remember, there was like Robert Griffin, third, Mike Vick,

930
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:49.119
<v Speaker 2>like it was appointment viewing. Everybody, get to your TV

931
00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:52.519
<v Speaker 2>and watch what this guy's doing. It's insane. And then

932
00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:54.639
<v Speaker 2>that was the lead up. You got Florida State coming

933
00:44:54.679 --> 00:44:57.239
<v Speaker 2>to town the next week. He won the Heisman then,

934
00:44:57.559 --> 00:45:00.280
<v Speaker 2>and there was never gonna be anybody in that they

935
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:02.000
<v Speaker 2>could do enough to take it from him, because in

936
00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:04.199
<v Speaker 2>the end, you know, they didn't finish the season strong.

937
00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:06.440
<v Speaker 2>But whenever you saw the voting, like he won that

938
00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:09.159
<v Speaker 2>by a landslide, and it was you know, Clemson wanted

939
00:45:09.159 --> 00:45:11.679
<v Speaker 2>it to be Deshon and they just wanted it because

940
00:45:11.679 --> 00:45:15.400
<v Speaker 2>Clemson actually had a better season. Lamar was clearly way

941
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:18.559
<v Speaker 2>better than Deshon and still is. It's proven out to

942
00:45:18.559 --> 00:45:20.960
<v Speaker 2>be the case. So all right, we were up against it.

943
00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:22.880
<v Speaker 2>In fact, we're eight five h two here, as we

944
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:25.960
<v Speaker 2>get our last break in, we'll come back not a

945
00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:29.199
<v Speaker 2>full hour, but you know, I'm sorry. We'll make the

946
00:45:29.239 --> 00:45:30.480
<v Speaker 2>most of what we have, so stick with us right

947
00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:35.039
<v Speaker 2>here on Sports Talk seven ninety
