8
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.439
<v Speaker 2>ninety Louisville dot Com busy show. So far today that

9
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:50.840
<v Speaker 2>it's gone by. It's going by really fast, which I

10
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:53.759
<v Speaker 2>think that's a good thing. It's five o'clock. I guess

11
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:55.520
<v Speaker 2>a lot of you guys are off work now, so hey,

12
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.399
<v Speaker 2>that's a good thing. We've got you covered on Saturday

13
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:00.960
<v Speaker 2>for Louisville and Clemson with our game day coverage. The

14
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Louisville Football pregame Show, presented by Pillow Windows and Doors

15
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:07.680
<v Speaker 2>of Central Kentucky and Jefferson Animal Hospital, will start right

16
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.480
<v Speaker 2>about six thirty. Kickoff is at seven thirty, so six

17
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:12.480
<v Speaker 2>thirty we'll get the pregame show started, and then after

18
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.040
<v Speaker 2>the game it'll be another late night and we'll we'll

19
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 2>be reacting to what I hope is a first time thing,

20
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:22.799
<v Speaker 2>meaning Louisville beating Clemson. It's never happened before, and I'm

21
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:24.519
<v Speaker 2>not sure if it be if it would be accurate

22
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 2>to say that, you know, this is the perfect time

23
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>to get it done, but you know, got to start somewhere.

24
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:34.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean, no better time than the next time you

25
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:36.200
<v Speaker 2>get to play on which of course is coming up

26
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.159
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday. So look, I don't want to act like

27
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>they're you know, they're benefiting from like a crazy easy schedule,

28
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:43.799
<v Speaker 2>because I don't really believe that. I mean, they are

29
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:46.959
<v Speaker 2>playing really, really good football and you know their their

30
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.640
<v Speaker 2>game against Georgia ended up being a beat down. But

31
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad Brahms said this earlier this week, and it

32
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.439
<v Speaker 2>doesn't change the score. I mean, they lost to Georgia

33
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:02.159
<v Speaker 2>thirty four to three. That's a beat down by any standards.

34
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 2>And Clemson, you know, they used to be able to

35
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.439
<v Speaker 2>compete with anybody. In losing thirty four to three, I mean,

36
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.039
<v Speaker 2>they've taken a step back, like they're not what they

37
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.000
<v Speaker 2>once were, but they're still good and that game was

38
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.280
<v Speaker 2>actually pretty close until late third quarter. Like I remember

39
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 2>that it never got talked about because it was an

40
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.919
<v Speaker 2>opportunity for everybody to rag on Dabbo because he's an

41
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 2>easy punching bag, and I mean I rag on him too.

42
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean the fact that he won't use the portal,

43
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:29.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, especially knowing that it could, you know, make

44
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 2>his team better, is just insane. It's one of the

45
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.439
<v Speaker 2>most stubborn things I've ever seen play out in sports.

46
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 2>So again, you're not even you. You don't get credit

47
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 2>because the game wasn't as ugly until the very end,

48
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 2>but that is sort of part of the story. So

49
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:47.319
<v Speaker 2>they have you know, they got blown out by Georgia,

50
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.039
<v Speaker 2>although they were competitive for a while. They're playing much

51
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:54.639
<v Speaker 2>better ball right now, and you know, they deserve to

52
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.719
<v Speaker 2>be double digit favorites like they are on Saturday. However,

53
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.520
<v Speaker 2>with that said, it's not like this is a counter

54
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 2>like this is not hey, they're not good because of this,

55
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:06.639
<v Speaker 2>because I think they are a really good team and

56
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:08.840
<v Speaker 2>they're playing really good football. But this is just something

57
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.599
<v Speaker 2>that needs to be added for context here. They have

58
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:15.560
<v Speaker 2>not played a good schedule really at all. Outside of Georgia.

59
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.000
<v Speaker 2>They played Apps State, they played n C State, Stanford,

60
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Florida State, Wake Forest, Virginia, I mean, all lowsy teams

61
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:26.000
<v Speaker 2>to be honest with you. And another thing to keep

62
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 2>in mind is like Virginia, who Louisville beat, is the

63
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.520
<v Speaker 2>only team that has a winning record that Clemson's played.

64
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:37.520
<v Speaker 2>And actually, let me take that back, because now that

65
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Virginia got beat by North Carolina, I'm pretty sure they

66
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:43.639
<v Speaker 2>got beat pretty bad. Clemson doesn't have a win against

67
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:47.039
<v Speaker 2>the team with a winning record. You know, to do

68
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>with that, which you will, But Clemson dominating as far

69
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.719
<v Speaker 2>as the scoreboard, and you know, still having like their

70
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:58.840
<v Speaker 2>brand's clearly taken a hit, right, but they were so

71
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.199
<v Speaker 2>on top that the hit hasn't really made it to

72
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:04.560
<v Speaker 2>where people just look at like you don't look at

73
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Clemson still and think, well, you know, we should win

74
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:08.759
<v Speaker 2>that game. And I'm you know, from Louisville's perspective, that's

75
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:10.759
<v Speaker 2>an obvious thing, considering the fact that you know, Louisvill's

76
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.240
<v Speaker 2>never beat him. But I don't care who you are,

77
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.439
<v Speaker 2>Clemson's on the schedule, you probably feel better about the

78
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.519
<v Speaker 2>game now than you did when they had Deshaun Watson

79
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.639
<v Speaker 2>and Trevor Lawrence and even even the dude that was

80
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:28.439
<v Speaker 2>there in between. Always forget about him. Transferred from Kelly

81
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Bryant who took over after Deshaun Watson. And then, of course,

82
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:36.120
<v Speaker 2>if you remember he ended up transferring, did he transfer

83
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.680
<v Speaker 2>elsewhere after he left? I think he went to Missouri,

84
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.519
<v Speaker 2>But did he transfer to Clemson. I guess that wouldn't

85
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:45.720
<v Speaker 2>make sense because you know, Dabo doesn't utilize the transfer portal.

86
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:49.199
<v Speaker 2>So either way, like that era of Clemson, you clearly

87
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.439
<v Speaker 2>are looking at him differently than than you are now.

88
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:57.639
<v Speaker 2>But there's still a program that anybody in the country

89
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.160
<v Speaker 2>would would realize they need to play well if they

90
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:01.800
<v Speaker 2>want to beat them. And I guess you could say

91
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:05.560
<v Speaker 2>that about a lot of teams, but maybe I'll be

92
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:09.160
<v Speaker 2>proven wrong, but I actually think that you've got them

93
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:14.199
<v Speaker 2>in a pretty good time. I mean, playing teams that

94
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.519
<v Speaker 2>don't have winning records and playing teams that give you

95
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:19.800
<v Speaker 2>a weak strength of schedule when it comes to rankings.

96
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.040
<v Speaker 2>That doesn't mean you're bad. It doesn't have anything to

97
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 2>really do with how good you are, but it does

98
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.759
<v Speaker 2>sort of add a level of I guess, perception to

99
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 2>how you're viewed that maybe I'm getting a little carried

100
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.839
<v Speaker 2>away with. But like Clemson, I think, you know, they're

101
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:39.759
<v Speaker 2>probably as good as Miami, or maybe not quite as

102
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:43.480
<v Speaker 2>good offensively, although okay, club Nick's playing really well. I mean,

103
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 2>I would love to see Clemson and SMU play, and

104
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.279
<v Speaker 2>Clemson in Miami play, but they're not on the schedules

105
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:54.079
<v Speaker 2>this year. They will play Pitt. That's actually the game

106
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.399
<v Speaker 2>two weeks after this one, so that should be another

107
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 2>challenge for Clemson. If this pit team is as legitiate

108
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>they've looked. I mean, they dominated Syracuse, which I don't

109
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:03.959
<v Speaker 2>know if that said more about cuser about Pitt the

110
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:05.759
<v Speaker 2>other night. But again, I'm not trying to tell you that, hey,

111
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:08.920
<v Speaker 2>this team's ripe to get taken down. Clemson's overrated. They're

112
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:17.399
<v Speaker 2>not that good, but they're as beatable now as maybe

113
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:21.839
<v Speaker 2>they've ever been. When Loulves played them. I take that back.

114
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:26.639
<v Speaker 2>I guess the last time you played them was Sadderfield's

115
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:28.680
<v Speaker 2>last year, and you you were right there and you

116
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:32.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, they still had Dju and he's stunk, and

117
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.040
<v Speaker 2>you had him at home. It was that goal line

118
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.160
<v Speaker 2>that you couldn't convert and that really kind of was

119
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.319
<v Speaker 2>the game. So maybe that was the best time to

120
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:40.720
<v Speaker 2>get him if you were going to get them. But

121
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:43.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that that team's that much different than

122
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.160
<v Speaker 2>this Clemson team. And I know it sounds like I'm

123
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:51.399
<v Speaker 2>dogging them, but like I think they've probably been. Like

124
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:53.680
<v Speaker 2>last year, their record was what, let's look it up.

125
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Last year, if you remember, they went to that bowl

126
00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:59.839
<v Speaker 2>game against Kentucky and ended up beating them. I think

127
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.160
<v Speaker 2>was it overtime. Either way, it was a close. It

128
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:04.720
<v Speaker 2>was actually a really fun game to watch. It was

129
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:06.839
<v Speaker 2>a shootout. They beat Kentucky. He wasn't an overtime. It's

130
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.759
<v Speaker 2>thirty eight thirty five. So last year Clemson finished nine

131
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.399
<v Speaker 2>and four overall. And if I'd have told you Clemson

132
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:14.920
<v Speaker 2>finished seven and five overall, I think you would have

133
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.439
<v Speaker 2>believed me because they are so far from what they

134
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.879
<v Speaker 2>once were that the perception is that they're awful and

135
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:22.680
<v Speaker 2>they really never have been, you know what I mean.

136
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Like last year they lost to Duke, they lost to

137
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:30.079
<v Speaker 2>Florida State, they lost to Miami, they lost to NC State.

138
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.199
<v Speaker 2>Those were their losses. Last year, they beat Notre Dame

139
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.160
<v Speaker 2>ranked win, they beat Carolina at the end of November

140
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.439
<v Speaker 2>when they were a ranked team. They beat a South

141
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Carolina team that you know, I guess wasn't very good

142
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.480
<v Speaker 2>now that I think about it. But there other way

143
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:52.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, I mean right now, it is it's not

144
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.079
<v Speaker 2>possible to say that, you know, if they're better this

145
00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:57.759
<v Speaker 2>year than they were a year ago. I think because

146
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.000
<v Speaker 2>they've been playing so well since getting blown out by

147
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.199
<v Speaker 2>g Orgia, that there's this belief that here we go,

148
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:06.240
<v Speaker 2>this Clemson team. Man, everybody doubted Dabbo, but he's got

149
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:07.600
<v Speaker 2>it roll and they look like the best team in

150
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.000
<v Speaker 2>the ACC in the eyes of some like I get

151
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:12.639
<v Speaker 2>why people are saying that, but if you do consider

152
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.600
<v Speaker 2>who they've played, it's just tough to know that for sure.

153
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:20.759
<v Speaker 2>So again, right now, if you look at the current

154
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:26.800
<v Speaker 2>ACC standings, let's see here Louisville as after their win

155
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:29.240
<v Speaker 2>against they moved to three and two in the league

156
00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:33.559
<v Speaker 2>after beating Boston College on Friday, Clemson five and O

157
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Miami five and O SMU four and O Pittsburgh three

158
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:39.639
<v Speaker 2>and oh Virginia Tech has one loss, and then you've

159
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:42.279
<v Speaker 2>got two loss Louisville, and then everybody else has at

160
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.960
<v Speaker 2>least three losses. But when it comes to overall wins

161
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:52.399
<v Speaker 2>and loss records, Clemson has no wins against anybody with

162
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:57.879
<v Speaker 2>a winning record. Now Louisville, they've got one win against

163
00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:03.159
<v Speaker 2>the team with a winning record. That's Georgia Tech. Virginia's

164
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:07.399
<v Speaker 2>four and four. Boston College is four and four. So

165
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.000
<v Speaker 2>there's a part of me that you know, is trying

166
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:15.840
<v Speaker 2>to fight off some confidence in this game because I

167
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:17.360
<v Speaker 2>don't want to be let down, John. But I think

168
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:19.519
<v Speaker 2>you can tell you can tell I'm feeling pretty good

169
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:21.440
<v Speaker 2>about this game, more so than may maybe some would

170
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:21.960
<v Speaker 2>have expected.

171
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I don't blame you. I mean, you mentioned

172
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.720
<v Speaker 3>it already that Clemson is not the Clemson of the

173
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.200
<v Speaker 3>mid twenty tens. Whenever they were going to the College

174
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.879
<v Speaker 3>Football Playoff, it seemed like every year or so. And

175
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:33.600
<v Speaker 3>this is a lot more beatable of a team. And

176
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:36.840
<v Speaker 3>if Louisville really does take the momentum that they got

177
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:40.000
<v Speaker 3>from the Boston College win, I mean, there's no reason

178
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.000
<v Speaker 3>that they can at least be competitive in this game.

179
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and look, that would still suck, but that would

180
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:46.279
<v Speaker 2>also be something that we'd have to and you all

181
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.600
<v Speaker 2>and everybody can do it on their own, meaning you

182
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:50.960
<v Speaker 2>decide how you feel. That's how fans should be fans.

183
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.200
<v Speaker 2>But if they lose and it's a really good game

184
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.000
<v Speaker 2>and it feels like they just came up short because

185
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.279
<v Speaker 2>Clemson at home is a really tough place to win.

186
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:03.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm still to be upset disappointed, but like I would

187
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.320
<v Speaker 2>probably be able to say that, Yeah, like if they

188
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.879
<v Speaker 2>if they get through a full game in Death Valley

189
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.320
<v Speaker 2>without the types of things we've seen at least once,

190
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:15.720
<v Speaker 2>but more often four or five times in many of

191
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:19.519
<v Speaker 2>the games throughout the season, that'll that'll be. I think

192
00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:22.600
<v Speaker 2>you can claim that they did, in fact get better

193
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.960
<v Speaker 2>after the Boston College comeback. Now again that point, results

194
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:29.159
<v Speaker 2>are gonna matter, Like you can't slip up, like if

195
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:31.840
<v Speaker 2>you end up cleaning things up and you stop, you know,

196
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:36.200
<v Speaker 2>with the silly turnovers, snapping the ball over the punter's head,

197
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:39.600
<v Speaker 2>having too many men on the field, having guys run

198
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:42.159
<v Speaker 2>wide open out of a timeout, Like if you eliminate

199
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:45.360
<v Speaker 2>those kind of things, and yet you still lose to Clemson,

200
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.919
<v Speaker 2>Pittsburgh and maybe even Kentucky at the end of the day,

201
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:53.279
<v Speaker 2>you just weren't very good. So I guess so desperately

202
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:54.879
<v Speaker 2>I want to be able to say this Louisville team

203
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:57.159
<v Speaker 2>did get better, clean some things up, and they finished strong,

204
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:00.320
<v Speaker 2>and I'm excited they've got an opportunity to to to

205
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:03.480
<v Speaker 2>really I mean again, I think a win against Clemson

206
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:07.879
<v Speaker 2>would not make anybody forget about the earlier losses, but

207
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:11.080
<v Speaker 2>like it would, it would give us some good vibes

208
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:14.039
<v Speaker 2>that we haven't had in a long long time. I mean,

209
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:17.679
<v Speaker 2>let's be honest. Last year you went ten and two

210
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:20.320
<v Speaker 2>in the regular season, Like what win made you feel good?

211
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame, And that was a great win. You beat them,

212
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:24.080
<v Speaker 2>it was at home, it was a top ten matchup,

213
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.519
<v Speaker 2>but like you'd already beat Notre Dame before, And I

214
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:29.480
<v Speaker 2>feel like not to say that the expectation was there,

215
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:32.440
<v Speaker 2>that everybody assumed Louisville was gonna win and that they

216
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:35.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, they couldn't lose. But I just think beating

217
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.879
<v Speaker 2>Clemson at Clemson, especially knowing like how frustrating it was

218
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.679
<v Speaker 2>to see them miss out on three potential wins all

219
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:47.559
<v Speaker 2>really because mostly them, and in them not being ready

220
00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:49.240
<v Speaker 2>to play or you know whatever you will have however

221
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:51.080
<v Speaker 2>you want to phrase it. I get in troublesometimes because

222
00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:52.799
<v Speaker 2>when you say not ready to play, it triggers people.

223
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:55.240
<v Speaker 2>But like, either way, for whatever reason, not ready to

224
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:57.919
<v Speaker 2>play or maybe just not being focused or whatever it is,

225
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:00.240
<v Speaker 2>they've had some mistakes that just seem to be very

226
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.759
<v Speaker 2>avoidable and that's made it so frustrating. Again, the result

227
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.639
<v Speaker 2>itself is not a killer. Losing to the teams you've

228
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.879
<v Speaker 2>lost to is not something that you got to panic

229
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:14.879
<v Speaker 2>and you know, freak out because maybe you're awful, Like,

230
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:17.320
<v Speaker 2>it's not that. But the things you did within those

231
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:19.799
<v Speaker 2>games is what made it so frustrating. And again, I

232
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.000
<v Speaker 2>know I'm reiterating what I said yesterday on the show,

233
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:28.200
<v Speaker 2>but why not beating Boston College at their place is

234
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:29.919
<v Speaker 2>again what you're supposed to do. In fact, you didn't

235
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:33.080
<v Speaker 2>even cover. But similar to the other games, it's how

236
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.200
<v Speaker 2>it looked and what transpired that really kind of set

237
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:40.720
<v Speaker 2>the tone for fans. Nobody's mad you lost to Notre

238
00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:43.559
<v Speaker 2>Dame at their place as far as the overall result,

239
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:45.720
<v Speaker 2>but it's that you did a lot of stupid stuff

240
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:47.320
<v Speaker 2>that kept you from being able to get a win

241
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:50.399
<v Speaker 2>that would have really had a value. Same thing against

242
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.120
<v Speaker 2>SMU Miami. Not as much, but still yeah. I mean,

243
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.120
<v Speaker 2>you can't commit a special team's penalty that puts you

244
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:00.000
<v Speaker 2>on your own five yard line, three yard line, whatever

245
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:01.639
<v Speaker 2>it was, and then fumble it on the first play

246
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:03.559
<v Speaker 2>and they scoop it and score. Those are things you

247
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:06.639
<v Speaker 2>never want to do. You know, but against Miami, a

248
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:08.559
<v Speaker 2>team that you know you don't want to give free

249
00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:11.240
<v Speaker 2>points to because they can really light it up offensively. Like,

250
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:15.000
<v Speaker 2>it's those things that made it so frustrating. So to

251
00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:17.200
<v Speaker 2>see this team, you know, come from twenty points behind

252
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:21.600
<v Speaker 2>on the road, and not only I talked about this

253
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:23.080
<v Speaker 2>earlier in the show if you guys missed it, but

254
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:25.679
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't just that they battled back to really dominate

255
00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:29.120
<v Speaker 2>that game after getting down twenty to nothing. It was

256
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:32.960
<v Speaker 2>how they were doing it. In the body language they

257
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:36.159
<v Speaker 2>had out there. It's almost like they were bouncing around

258
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of carrying themselves a little bit differently to where

259
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:42.639
<v Speaker 2>they were carrying themselves with confidence that I actually believe

260
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:46.080
<v Speaker 2>if that makes sense, because they've not been I mean,

261
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.440
<v Speaker 2>even that game, like the scores that Boston College had early,

262
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.080
<v Speaker 2>like I don't really feel like they were earned. I

263
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:55.559
<v Speaker 2>mean it was littlevill just either one you know, a

264
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:57.519
<v Speaker 2>chunk play that put them in a great position to

265
00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:04.279
<v Speaker 2>score to where you're defense, you know, gave up one

266
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:05.799
<v Speaker 2>big play and then that lead to them that led

267
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:10.039
<v Speaker 2>to them having an easy opportunity score. So they really

268
00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:11.600
<v Speaker 2>dominated the rest of the way. And again I know

269
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.240
<v Speaker 2>the opponent isn't something to be super you know, impressed

270
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:18.000
<v Speaker 2>with it's it's Boston College. But I'm really hopeful that

271
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:22.759
<v Speaker 2>they they can springboard off of that. Again, it sounds

272
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.399
<v Speaker 2>so weird to say hopefully they were really really capitalized

273
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:27.440
<v Speaker 2>on that win against Boston College when again that's who

274
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:29.399
<v Speaker 2>you're supposed to beat, and it was ugly early on,

275
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:31.519
<v Speaker 2>but the way in which they had to do it,

276
00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, at least I hope it showed them something

277
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.600
<v Speaker 2>about themselves that they can they can carry over to

278
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:41.960
<v Speaker 2>this big game against Clemson. I mean, this is this

279
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:44.039
<v Speaker 2>is crazy. The win probability in that game. I'm glad

280
00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:48.200
<v Speaker 2>somebody sent this in Hey kickoff, ESPN's win probability was

281
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:51.440
<v Speaker 2>seventy to thirty in favor of Louisville when they got

282
00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:55.080
<v Speaker 2>down twenty to nothing. It was ninety percent win probability

283
00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:58.679
<v Speaker 2>for Boston College, ten percent for Louisville, eighteen percent for

284
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:01.759
<v Speaker 2>Louisville whenever it got to twenty seven, seventeen, thirty four

285
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:04.120
<v Speaker 2>percent when it got to twenty seven to twenty four,

286
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:06.919
<v Speaker 2>and then seventy four percent when they were up thirty

287
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:10.639
<v Speaker 2>one to twenty seven. So I mean, when you got

288
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:14.480
<v Speaker 2>down twenty to nothing. I mean I would say nine

289
00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:19.440
<v Speaker 2>out of ten of those situations lead to the team

290
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:22.360
<v Speaker 2>that was down twenty to nothing not only not winning,

291
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:26.399
<v Speaker 2>but not even competing. So yes, maybe I am really

292
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:28.799
<v Speaker 2>building this up for something more than it was. And

293
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:30.919
<v Speaker 2>if so, I get it. Like, if you think that's

294
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:32.840
<v Speaker 2>what I'm doing, I guess you could say I may

295
00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:35.399
<v Speaker 2>be guilty, but we got to start somewhere. Like, I

296
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:37.600
<v Speaker 2>know this team is better than what we've seen at

297
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:39.639
<v Speaker 2>times this year, and maybe it's even a stretch to

298
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:41.360
<v Speaker 2>say that because I think even in games we watch

299
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:44.799
<v Speaker 2>them make these boneheaded mistakes, they still find a way

300
00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:47.200
<v Speaker 2>to put themselves in the game with a chance to win,

301
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:49.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's what it could have should have because again,

302
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:51.320
<v Speaker 2>you win or you lose, that those are the two results.

303
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.720
<v Speaker 2>But again, frustrating is still the word that I think

304
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:00.639
<v Speaker 2>fits best to describe this season because it feels like

305
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:02.799
<v Speaker 2>we're lying when we say, yeah, this team's really good,

306
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:05.720
<v Speaker 2>because again, the record doesn't indicate that. But if you

307
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:07.840
<v Speaker 2>watch them, yeah they make mistakes, and look, if that's

308
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:09.600
<v Speaker 2>what you do consistently, you got to look in the mirror.

309
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:11.879
<v Speaker 2>That's part of your identity. But like if you could

310
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:14.720
<v Speaker 2>just easily clean it up. You go from being a

311
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:19.279
<v Speaker 2>team that you know is sloppy, that hurts themselves, that

312
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:21.399
<v Speaker 2>could lose to anybody with their mistakes, or it's a

313
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:24.399
<v Speaker 2>team that, like, damn, they might mess around and beat anybody. Now,

314
00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:26.919
<v Speaker 2>maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, because again, the good

315
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:29.000
<v Speaker 2>teams they played at this point, they haven't beat them,

316
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:31.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, and they're gonna have another chance to do

317
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:34.720
<v Speaker 2>that on Saturday. And to say they're due to break

318
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:36.519
<v Speaker 2>through and actually beat one of these good teams they

319
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:40.600
<v Speaker 2>play is an understatement. All right, let's take our first break.

320
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:42.159
<v Speaker 2>We'll come back on the other side. A lot more

321
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:45.759
<v Speaker 2>to get into. There's a new position within college sports

322
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:50.440
<v Speaker 2>that is probably gonna be one of the most important

323
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:54.679
<v Speaker 2>positions within a program college football, college basketball. It's the

324
00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:59.039
<v Speaker 2>nil director position, and nobody would doubt the importance of it.

325
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:01.799
<v Speaker 2>But man, it sounds like a thankless job. It better

326
00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:03.759
<v Speaker 2>pay big bucks. But you're starting to see those kind

327
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:06.279
<v Speaker 2>of positions posted, and there was a good read as

328
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:10.920
<v Speaker 2>far as what type of people are qualifying for those jobs,

329
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:13.720
<v Speaker 2>right like what profession careers are they coming from? To

330
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:18.759
<v Speaker 2>kind of service The Nile director also Tony Bennett, he

331
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:23.000
<v Speaker 2>quit and starting to kind of play out to where

332
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:25.279
<v Speaker 2>he knew he had a bad team, and he bailed,

333
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:29.720
<v Speaker 2>And now you got guys leaving Virginia in mid October

334
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:31.960
<v Speaker 2>with I don't know how they'd end up anywhere else,

335
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:35.319
<v Speaker 2>but I'm curious if, like Virginia really sucks this year. Well,

336
00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:38.039
<v Speaker 2>people still say, ah, let's give Tony Bennett the benefit

337
00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:40.960
<v Speaker 2>of the doubt, because he's such a handsome, charming guy,

338
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:44.920
<v Speaker 2>and he'd never he'd never do anything that isn't what's

339
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:48.720
<v Speaker 2>best for Virginia. He'd never, he'd never be selfish and quit,

340
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:51.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, a week before the season starts. But I

341
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:54.400
<v Speaker 2>think that's kind of what he did. So anyways, we'll

342
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:57.640
<v Speaker 2>take a break, come back on the other side, and

343
00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:59.680
<v Speaker 2>maybe talk a little more about a potential upset for

344
00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Mark Hope tonight. I can't say that and make you

345
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:04.480
<v Speaker 2>feel like I believe it, because I don't believe it.

346
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:06.200
<v Speaker 2>But man, if you're get to schedule a Division two

347
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:10.240
<v Speaker 2>team for an exhibition game, don't schedule the defending national champions, man,

348
00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:12.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, or do and give us something to root

349
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:14.319
<v Speaker 2>for on the rival side, But come on, I mean,

350
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:16.880
<v Speaker 2>that's that's asking for it all right, don't go anywhere,

351
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:18.519
<v Speaker 2>keep it locked right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

352
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:23.680
<v Speaker 2>You got about thirty minutes left here on a Tuesday afternoon.

357
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:36.000
<v Speaker 2>not welcome in, but let's read some text on the

358
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:37.960
<v Speaker 2>text line. It's the Ellen and Federal Credit Union text

359

362
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:49.799
<v Speaker 2>dot com. So this is a long text that I

363
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:51.599
<v Speaker 2>really didn't have time to read until we went to break,

364
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:53.880
<v Speaker 2>but I'll try to summarize it. And I think what

365
00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:57.400
<v Speaker 2>this person is saying is a good point that the

366
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:03.359
<v Speaker 2>real issue with NIL will be in everybody's face essentially

367
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:06.000
<v Speaker 2>years years down the line. And you can correct me

368
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:07.599
<v Speaker 2>if I'm not saying what I think you're saying, but

369
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:10.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure what you mean is that by the

370
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:14.720
<v Speaker 2>time that it's the new norm and everybody knows that

371
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:17.599
<v Speaker 2>if you play college athletics at a big time school,

372
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:19.920
<v Speaker 2>it is it is a high paying job for you.

373
00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:24.240
<v Speaker 2>It's going to eliminate the hunger of people that you

374
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:28.960
<v Speaker 2>know are using the opportunity. I mean, I don't. I mean,

375
00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:31.960
<v Speaker 2>some of these guys, I'm sure really are genuine about

376
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.880
<v Speaker 2>the educational component and they do realize they're getting a

377
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:36.880
<v Speaker 2>chance to get a free college education that could really

378
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:38.920
<v Speaker 2>put them in a great place for life after sports.

379
00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:41.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, even if they don't embrace it and you know,

380
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:44.640
<v Speaker 2>really value it in real time, they'll learn later in

381
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:47.200
<v Speaker 2>life that if they got a college degree and they graduated,

382
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:49.880
<v Speaker 2>then then you know, probably something they really aren't going

383
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:51.440
<v Speaker 2>to be thankful for until down the line. Because a

384
00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:54.319
<v Speaker 2>lot of high level athletes, especially those that enter college

385
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:57.039
<v Speaker 2>and those that are early on in their college career,

386
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:00.240
<v Speaker 2>they're thinking pro sports. Now again, that's not reality. How

387
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:01.799
<v Speaker 2>hard it is to be to be like a full

388
00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:04.799
<v Speaker 2>time NFL an NBA player for many many years. Like

389
00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:08.720
<v Speaker 2>the percentage chances of that being the job and how

390
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:11.200
<v Speaker 2>it works out for for these I mean, there's not many.

391
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:13.160
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to do. How you can go overseas and

392
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:15.160
<v Speaker 2>play and that kind of stuff in basketball and football's

393
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:19.480
<v Speaker 2>a little bit different. But even if they are getting

394
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:22.839
<v Speaker 2>a stipend and they're getting maybe even like a rev

395
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:25.720
<v Speaker 2>share and nil didn't exist to where you can get

396
00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:28.119
<v Speaker 2>it now, and it really isn't tied to you know,

397
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:30.839
<v Speaker 2>to playing. It's just you know, it's being dressed up

398
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:37.559
<v Speaker 2>as something different. I think if in fact, it's just

399
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:40.079
<v Speaker 2>a gig and you know your you know your gig

400
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:43.160
<v Speaker 2>and your pay is not based upon performance and it's

401
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:46.599
<v Speaker 2>not really based upon results. Are people still gonna like

402
00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:49.400
<v Speaker 2>give Are we still going to see these college athletes

403
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:53.480
<v Speaker 2>really putting in the kind of work you used to see, right,

404
00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:56.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like if you know your and this sounds awful,

405
00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:58.720
<v Speaker 2>but I'm just gonna be honest with you, like just

406
00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:02.039
<v Speaker 2>thinking out loud. If you know you've got an NIL

407
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:06.839
<v Speaker 2>check that's coming regardless of what happens, and it's you know,

408
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:09.119
<v Speaker 2>not a million dollars, but you know it's it's a

409
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:12.160
<v Speaker 2>good chunk of change, more money than you'd make annually

410
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:15.559
<v Speaker 2>in most any job you would get right out of college.

411
00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:18.440
<v Speaker 2>And you know you're not a pro, like you just know,

412
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:21.039
<v Speaker 2>like there's no scenario you're going to play professionally in

413
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:24.559
<v Speaker 2>the NBA or the NFL. And if you're a basketball player,

414
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.440
<v Speaker 2>you know you don't have any any aspirations to play

415
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:30.000
<v Speaker 2>professionally overseas, maybe because you know what you're gonna do

416
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:33.559
<v Speaker 2>after basketball, you could mail it in and like what changes,

417
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:38.759
<v Speaker 2>Like you know what what's the like, what's what's really

418
00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:45.240
<v Speaker 2>going to impact your livelihood negatively if you don't try

419
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:47.440
<v Speaker 2>your hardest and your team isn't very good because again,

420
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:51.519
<v Speaker 2>it's a job. Like I think players should be allowed

421
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:56.160
<v Speaker 2>to get paid. I don't know the perfect scenario that

422
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:58.279
<v Speaker 2>makes it to where there is still a level of

423
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:03.319
<v Speaker 2>like not amateurism because that's just gone, but like where

424
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:05.240
<v Speaker 2>there is a hunger. And I don't want to act

425
00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:06.759
<v Speaker 2>like the guys now that are getting paid, like none

426
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:08.960
<v Speaker 2>of them try and none of them care, because I

427
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:11.079
<v Speaker 2>just don't believe that's the case. But like I could

428
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.559
<v Speaker 2>see how down the line when college athletics at this

429
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.160
<v Speaker 2>level is more so viewed as a job than anything else.

430
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:21.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, are you gonna be I mean, you get

431
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:24.119
<v Speaker 2>you guy guys walking away from the job because they're

432
00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:29.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna go get another job next year, and that you know,

433
00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:33.400
<v Speaker 2>that's pro sports, Like in the NFL, the NBA, Major

434
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:36.440
<v Speaker 2>League Baseball, NHL, like professional sports as a whole, Like

435
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:39.960
<v Speaker 2>it's these guys' jobs. And you know, I think, what

436
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:44.200
<v Speaker 2>the people who love college sports and don't really get

437
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:47.119
<v Speaker 2>into pro sports and there, I mean, I'm sure there

438
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:48.680
<v Speaker 2>are plenty of them. I don't know how many of

439
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:50.599
<v Speaker 2>those people are out there, but clearly they're there. There

440
00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:56.200
<v Speaker 2>are there are enough everything that they prefer college sports

441
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:59.200
<v Speaker 2>for and don't like the pro sports. Like it's now

442
00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:00.960
<v Speaker 2>gonna be kind of the same thing to where again

443
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:03.640
<v Speaker 2>it's a job now, and that is sad, like because

444
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:05.119
<v Speaker 2>that's going to turn a lot of people off, and

445
00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:08.039
<v Speaker 2>it's just going to be right in your face directly

446
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:11.400
<v Speaker 2>that this is all transactional and that is a sad

447
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:15.680
<v Speaker 2>thing for college sports. And I've now kind of removed

448
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:19.559
<v Speaker 2>myself from paraphrasing what that text said, but like, if

449
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:21.759
<v Speaker 2>that's where you were going, like I get it, you know,

450
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:28.079
<v Speaker 2>but it's not changing. It's just not Like Jeff Walls

451
00:23:28.119 --> 00:23:31.079
<v Speaker 2>said it best, And this was on a press conference

452
00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:33.039
<v Speaker 2>they did before Louis Alive with both with both Pat

453
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:37.359
<v Speaker 2>Kelsey and Jeff Walls. If you know, like you transferred

454
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:40.000
<v Speaker 2>to this school across the country for one more year

455
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:45.920
<v Speaker 2>of eligibility and you know the team's doing all right,

456
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:48.599
<v Speaker 2>but not a legit contender to like make a final

457
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:50.839
<v Speaker 2>four one. And again this is not Walls, but I'm

458
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:52.079
<v Speaker 2>going to get to his quote in a second. But

459
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:55.799
<v Speaker 2>like if you've already been paid, he said, would you

460
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:58.200
<v Speaker 2>come back to work? If you know you've already got

461
00:23:58.240 --> 00:23:59.920
<v Speaker 2>your last check? Would you come back to work? Like

462
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:02.799
<v Speaker 2>you're not breaking the law, Like maybe, but it's just not.

463
00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:05.400
<v Speaker 2>It's not practical in any other walk of life to

464
00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:08.000
<v Speaker 2>where you can have a job and still put in

465
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:10.799
<v Speaker 2>two more weeks or two more months and you've already

466
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:14.119
<v Speaker 2>been paid in full, Like that's not normal. But in NIL,

467
00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:15.680
<v Speaker 2>because of how they have to do it, I'm sure

468
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:19.240
<v Speaker 2>there are some players that get paid everything upfront. I

469
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.559
<v Speaker 2>would think, as we learned throughout the early years of

470
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:24.720
<v Speaker 2>the NIL era that like you shouldn't do that, and

471
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:26.720
<v Speaker 2>I would imagine now most or not, but let's just

472
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:27.359
<v Speaker 2>say they are.

473
00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:29.119
<v Speaker 3>Even if you.

474
00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:32.079
<v Speaker 2>Show up to work, are you really like you're kind

475
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:33.960
<v Speaker 2>of mailing it in right, Like you're probably having fun,

476
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:36.240
<v Speaker 2>but like when adversity hits or your team hits a

477
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:39.279
<v Speaker 2>couple of losses, you're falling back on. Well, hey, at

478
00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:43.279
<v Speaker 2>least I'm still getting paid, you know, I'll still do this,

479
00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:44.920
<v Speaker 2>but like you know, I don't really care because it's

480
00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:49.799
<v Speaker 2>a job now, like nobody does their job. They shouldn't

481
00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:52.480
<v Speaker 2>say nobody because that's not true. Let me back up.

482
00:24:54.599 --> 00:24:57.079
<v Speaker 2>There are certain jobs that people do it because they

483
00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:00.799
<v Speaker 2>love it or they would get different job. That is

484
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:03.400
<v Speaker 2>much like again, like I think there are thankless jobs

485
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.240
<v Speaker 2>right now that are super important and more and more

486
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:09.960
<v Speaker 2>people aren't doing them anymore, and it's scary, Like teachers,

487
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Like being a teacher is really important. We need great teachers,

488
00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:15.039
<v Speaker 2>but a lot of them don't do it, an I mean,

489
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:16.640
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people have walked away from that profession

490
00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:18.720
<v Speaker 2>or there's just not as many that are getting into

491
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:21.759
<v Speaker 2>it now because it's not a high paying job compared

492
00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:24.039
<v Speaker 2>to some other career fields and you gotta put up

493
00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:25.799
<v Speaker 2>a lot of stuff. So those who do it love it,

494
00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:29.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm sure there's other careers like that as well,

495
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:33.480
<v Speaker 2>But it's also because of money, Like you wouldn't do

496
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:35.480
<v Speaker 2>it for free, right, even if you do it and

497
00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:37.799
<v Speaker 2>you love it, and you know, it's not as high

498
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:40.319
<v Speaker 2>paying of a gig that you could probably get elsewhere,

499
00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:42.079
<v Speaker 2>Like you're not gonna do if you're not getting paid,

500
00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:46.279
<v Speaker 2>So like just money being involved in the way it

501
00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:50.920
<v Speaker 2>is now because of nil will have it already has

502
00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:53.599
<v Speaker 2>had a huge change to what college sports used to

503
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:56.519
<v Speaker 2>be in what a lot of people loved about college

504
00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:00.400
<v Speaker 2>sports specifically, and that's sad. I think the product is

505
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:03.319
<v Speaker 2>still at a pretty good place. I mean the transactions

506
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:05.599
<v Speaker 2>that take place again, like Colin Lacy opting out like

507
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:08.079
<v Speaker 2>that sucks for Louisville, but that could be a big

508
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:10.039
<v Speaker 2>deal for another team that gets him if he leaves.

509
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:14.000
<v Speaker 2>And when I tune in on Saturdays and watch college football,

510
00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:16.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure the product's ever been in a better place.

511
00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:19.279
<v Speaker 2>And I feel like that needs to be said more

512
00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:21.440
<v Speaker 2>than it is. And maybe you disagree, but like people

513
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:26.799
<v Speaker 2>are watching college football at a really high level, and

514
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:29.319
<v Speaker 2>I think the action again, the entertainment value that's there

515
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:34.279
<v Speaker 2>is really really good. So I think people are still

516
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:36.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna watch it. It's just, you know, it's a process

517
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:40.279
<v Speaker 2>as we transition from what used to be so different.

518
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:46.119
<v Speaker 2>But if you are somebody that has learned throughout the

519
00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:49.279
<v Speaker 2>last few years that like what you really loved about

520
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:53.640
<v Speaker 2>college sports, what made it something you were really passionate about.

521
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:57.079
<v Speaker 2>It's no more and it's and you know, it's changed

522
00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:58.319
<v Speaker 2>how you view I get it.

523
00:26:58.759 --> 00:26:59.079
<v Speaker 1>I do.

524
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I understand, but either adapt or you know, I guess

525
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:06.400
<v Speaker 2>find something else to be passionate about. I mean, because

526
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:07.160
<v Speaker 2>it's not changing.

527
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:10.559
<v Speaker 3>Let me say this real quick. From my perspective, Indiana

528
00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:13.079
<v Speaker 3>football does not have the season they're having without an

529
00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:14.119
<v Speaker 3>eye on the transfer portal.

530
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Kinny Paine might still be our coach. Yeah, I mean,

531
00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:18.559
<v Speaker 2>to be honest, he might because in that world he

532
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:20.599
<v Speaker 2>would get more time, you know, because.

533
00:27:20.359 --> 00:27:22.599
<v Speaker 3>There's more excuses for that type of stuff.

534
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:25.400
<v Speaker 2>So you know, And and I used to say, well,

535
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:28.359
<v Speaker 2>are you bothered by knowing that a guy out there

536
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:32.119
<v Speaker 2>playing tight end for you is driving a better car

537
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:34.119
<v Speaker 2>than you, Like you need to reevaluate some things on

538
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:35.799
<v Speaker 2>your end if that's what you're bothered by. I used

539
00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:37.480
<v Speaker 2>to have that mindset and I still kind of do. Like,

540
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:41.559
<v Speaker 2>if that's what bothers you, then you know that's just

541
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:45.440
<v Speaker 2>jealousies what that is. But if if it's more so

542
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:48.480
<v Speaker 2>because of the component of it being a job and

543
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:53.319
<v Speaker 2>money involved in that clearly mattering like that that is,

544
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:55.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean that that does make it to where like

545
00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:58.319
<v Speaker 2>you don't get. I mean, I think these guys still do.

546
00:27:58.359 --> 00:28:02.599
<v Speaker 2>A lot of these student athletes do. I just think

547
00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:06.680
<v Speaker 2>it's easier to pull yourself away from getting lost in Hey,

548
00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:09.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna give it everything, man, this is my team,

549
00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:12.920
<v Speaker 2>this is my college career, this is my family. I'm

550
00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:15.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna leave it all on the field. I would never

551
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:17.359
<v Speaker 2>not play because I'll do anything for my team. There

552
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:21.640
<v Speaker 2>are still many athletes out there that they're still programmed

553
00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:24.720
<v Speaker 2>and wired to just that's their mindset. I'm gonna I'm

554
00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:26.799
<v Speaker 2>gonna lay it all out there because that's all I know.

555
00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:31.000
<v Speaker 2>But in ten years time, will that still be the

556
00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:36.359
<v Speaker 2>case or will it be everybody programmed mentally to just

557
00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:39.160
<v Speaker 2>know that this is a job and that's the scary

558
00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:41.200
<v Speaker 2>part of it. And I don't know how you fix that.

559
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:44.759
<v Speaker 2>Because again, the schools being on the hook for paying

560
00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:47.880
<v Speaker 2>the players, that will even things out a little bit.

561
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:51.640
<v Speaker 2>But it's still gonna be at times the wild wild

562
00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:56.319
<v Speaker 2>West when it comes to the nil world. And players

563
00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:59.680
<v Speaker 2>have power and ability now that they'd never have had before.

564
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:03.319
<v Speaker 2>And I don't I mean, I've seen no signs of

565
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:06.000
<v Speaker 2>them losing any privileges. In fact, it seems like anytime

566
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:08.160
<v Speaker 2>there's some big debate about what kids can and can't do,

567
00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:11.559
<v Speaker 2>they get more ability to like do whatever they want. So,

568
00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:15.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, the reason I wanted to talk about that

569
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:17.559
<v Speaker 2>text because it was one that really got me thinking

570
00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:19.200
<v Speaker 2>about it in a way that I hadn't really given

571
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:22.839
<v Speaker 2>much thought to before, which is that when this just

572
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:25.559
<v Speaker 2>has when we get to you know, ten fifteen years

573
00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:28.079
<v Speaker 2>into this, I still think people are going to be

574
00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:30.640
<v Speaker 2>watching college sports, but like maybe we won't be calling

575
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:33.480
<v Speaker 2>at college sports anymore, Like maybe you know, and what

576
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:40.480
<v Speaker 2>made you like years of team I'm trying to find

577
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:43.759
<v Speaker 2>examples of, like, for example, Louisville's championship team, Like the

578
00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:46.079
<v Speaker 2>way that twenty thirteen championship team all came together and

579
00:29:46.119 --> 00:29:48.319
<v Speaker 2>the way that played out in that three four year run,

580
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:50.720
<v Speaker 2>the build up to that season where you knew, hey,

581
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:52.319
<v Speaker 2>if we're going to win a title, it's this year.

582
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.880
<v Speaker 2>That probably doesn't exist anymore. And that's you know, that's

583
00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:59.480
<v Speaker 2>that's sad, but that's just that's just the way of it.

584
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.039
<v Speaker 2>Like you're not going to feel a connection to guys

585
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:07.839
<v Speaker 2>like Russ Smith and Peyton Steve anymore. I mean you can, right,

586
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:10.759
<v Speaker 2>but like they're only here for a year it's or

587
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:12.799
<v Speaker 2>two years even like it's you know, and they can

588
00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:15.920
<v Speaker 2>accomplish something super special. But what made you know some

589
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:18.279
<v Speaker 2>of the more memorable teams for you as a UFL

590
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:20.839
<v Speaker 2>fan or UK fan is probably because they were here

591
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:23.440
<v Speaker 2>a long time and you know it was a ride, right.

592
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.160
<v Speaker 2>You watched some of these guys grow year by year

593
00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:28.200
<v Speaker 2>and then the ultimate payoff was there when they want

594
00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:32.119
<v Speaker 2>championships as seniors. But now when seniors win championships at schools,

595
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:34.039
<v Speaker 2>I'd be willing to bet they didn't start at that school.

596
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:36.200
<v Speaker 2>And that's just that's the new world that we're in.

597
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:42.720
<v Speaker 2>All right. Let's talk about Jefferson Animal Hospital. I'm sure

598
00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:44.920
<v Speaker 2>you've heard of them. They've been around for a long time, folks.

599
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:47.799
<v Speaker 2>Forty four years, that's how long they've been open helping

600
00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:50.279
<v Speaker 2>you when it comes to keeping your pets healthy in

601
00:30:50.359 --> 00:30:52.920
<v Speaker 2>case in case of an emergency, they're there for you. Christmas.

602
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:55.799
<v Speaker 2>It could be Christmas night, you could have something scary happen.

603
00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Don't worry.

604
00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:56.559
<v Speaker 3>They're open.

605
00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:58.400
<v Speaker 2>They're there. They're gonna have a doctor on site to

606
00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:01.039
<v Speaker 2>take care of you. But it didn't have to be

607
00:31:01.079 --> 00:31:04.240
<v Speaker 2>an emergency. It could be you just wanting to get

608
00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:07.880
<v Speaker 2>your pet in front of somebody different, maybe a change

609
00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:10.240
<v Speaker 2>of pace, or maybe you haven't taken your your pet

610
00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:12.000
<v Speaker 2>to get a check up in a long time, and

611
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:14.960
<v Speaker 2>you know you need to. In fact, I'm telling you,

612
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:16.400
<v Speaker 2>if you haven't done that, you should. You need to.

613
00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:18.599
<v Speaker 2>You need to make sure that these pets are healthy,

614
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:20.839
<v Speaker 2>and Jefferson Animal Hospital can help you with exactly that.

615
00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:23.400
<v Speaker 2>So give them a call five O two nine underd Pets,

616
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:26.680
<v Speaker 2>or you can visit them online at Jefferson Vetts dot com.

617
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:28.359
<v Speaker 2>All right, we'll come back on the other side for

618
00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:31.640
<v Speaker 2>a longer segment than we're used to here to wrap

619
00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:34.200
<v Speaker 2>things up. That's by design, because I do want to

620
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:37.359
<v Speaker 2>talk a little more about, you know, this ANIL director position,

621
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:39.480
<v Speaker 2>but I won't. We've already talked a lot about ANIL.

622
00:31:39.559 --> 00:31:41.279
<v Speaker 2>But I also want to get to this Kentucky exhibition

623
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:43.319
<v Speaker 2>game because a couple of people have sent in some

624
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:46.599
<v Speaker 2>like facts about this Minnesota state team, and I'm not

625
00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:48.559
<v Speaker 2>taking the bait, guys. I'm not taking the bait for

626
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:51.640
<v Speaker 2>you to get me excited about this team, like pulling

627
00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:55.720
<v Speaker 2>off an upset against Kentucky. But man, if they did,

628
00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:59.079
<v Speaker 2>I might do a postgame show tonight for that one.

629
00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:01.319
<v Speaker 2>But again, you guys getting my hopes up and it's

630
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:04.279
<v Speaker 2>just not realistic. I need to pump the brakes. They

631
00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:07.759
<v Speaker 2>are the Division two national champions, which I don't know

632
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:09.920
<v Speaker 2>why anybody would schedule them as an exhibition opponent, but

633
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:11.799
<v Speaker 2>Mark Pope did and we'll see what happens tonight. Don't

634
00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:13.400
<v Speaker 2>go anywhere, keep it locked right here on Sports Talk

635
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:18.799
<v Speaker 2>seven ninety. I'm not sure how many professional athletes or

636
00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:23.720
<v Speaker 2>even former professional athletes could post a cryptic tweet or

637
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Instagram story and have millions of people trying to dissect

638
00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:31.960
<v Speaker 2>the hidden message, but Tom Brady's certainly one of those,

639
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:35.240
<v Speaker 2>and apparently within the show he I mean, I don't

640
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:36.680
<v Speaker 2>think he waited for the show to go on the air,

641
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:43.720
<v Speaker 2>but he's posted I guess an Instagram story and everybody's

642
00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:47.160
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure out what he means. In fact, well done.

643
00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Here with the Barstool Sports dot Com, they said cryptic

644
00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:53.319
<v Speaker 2>Tom Brady Instagram post takes over takes over Internet by

645
00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:55.359
<v Speaker 2>a landslide. So I don't know if you guys saw

646
00:32:55.400 --> 00:32:59.160
<v Speaker 2>the news yesterday, but his ex wife, Jaselle Bunchin she

647
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:03.759
<v Speaker 2>is pregnant with the man that she cheated on Tom

648
00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:06.079
<v Speaker 2>Brady with like, I'll be honest with you, whenever I

649
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:08.920
<v Speaker 2>watched the Tom Brady roast, I didn't know that like

650
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:11.160
<v Speaker 2>that was the thing. Like I think I heard somebody

651
00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:13.279
<v Speaker 2>reference it, but I you know, I don't keep up

652
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:16.680
<v Speaker 2>with celebrity relationships stuff as far as what's going on.

653
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:20.200
<v Speaker 2>But there's a reason why when they were roasting tom Brady,

654
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:22.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, again the funniest people on the planet signing

655
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:25.319
<v Speaker 2>up to roast him, where they have no filter. They're

656
00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:27.480
<v Speaker 2>just thinking about being funny. They're not really thinking about

657
00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:29.079
<v Speaker 2>taking it light. It's called a roast. I mean, there's

658
00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:31.559
<v Speaker 2>a reason why they made many references to a jiu

659
00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:37.559
<v Speaker 2>jitsu instructure, you know, sleeping with his wife. So anyways,

660
00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:40.599
<v Speaker 2>that became news yesterday she was spotted, you know, showing

661
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:45.000
<v Speaker 2>that she was pregnant, and Tom Brady posted a picture

662
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:50.079
<v Speaker 2>of Look it's a sunset, I know that, and then

663
00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:54.200
<v Speaker 2>there's some type of like bush or shrubs or something.

664
00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:58.240
<v Speaker 2>But the there's three hearts and it says can the

665
00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:01.240
<v Speaker 2>child within my heart rise above, which is actually a

666
00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:06.839
<v Speaker 2>line from the Landslide song. But I mean he's got

667
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:10.440
<v Speaker 2>to be sad, right, I mean that people don't like

668
00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:12.599
<v Speaker 2>people throw stuff on the Internet and sometimes like, oh,

669
00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:14.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what people took it that way. Most

670
00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:16.639
<v Speaker 2>people who post stuff know what they're doing. Like Tom

671
00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:19.079
<v Speaker 2>Brady is a lot of things. He ain't dumb, Like

672
00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:22.119
<v Speaker 2>he knew that everybody would feel sad for him. And

673
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:26.000
<v Speaker 2>by the way, there's a song attached to that Instagram

674
00:34:26.039 --> 00:34:29.480
<v Speaker 2>story and it is The Chicks the Landslide. So but

675
00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:31.599
<v Speaker 2>that's not a coincidence, right, Like that's got to be

676
00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:33.519
<v Speaker 2>some type of a post that has something to do

677
00:34:33.559 --> 00:34:37.440
<v Speaker 2>with him being emotional because you know, he got divorced

678
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:42.239
<v Speaker 2>and now she's with the dude she was allegedly cheating

679
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:44.639
<v Speaker 2>on him with. I mean, there's no denying that. Like

680
00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:46.719
<v Speaker 2>they're an item now because they're you know, they're having

681
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:50.360
<v Speaker 2>a kid and whatnot. But yeah, just like like Lebron

682
00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:52.039
<v Speaker 2>does this kind of stuff, right, Like not like with

683
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:54.519
<v Speaker 2>the relationship stuff. But like, you know, the reason I

684
00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:55.840
<v Speaker 2>bring it up is not because I give a damn

685
00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:58.199
<v Speaker 2>about Tom Brady or what's going on with his ex wife.

686
00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:03.039
<v Speaker 2>But you know, when I I go through social media, Twitter,

687
00:35:03.119 --> 00:35:05.559
<v Speaker 2>mostly during the show because usually I don't, you know,

688
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:07.719
<v Speaker 2>spend a lot of time surfing the web while I'm

689
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:09.920
<v Speaker 2>on the air. But like, this wasn't something that was

690
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:12.079
<v Speaker 2>on the radar, and now it's like all anybody's talking about.

691
00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:12.880
<v Speaker 2>What did Tom Brady mean?

692
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Is he sad?

693
00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Does this mean that he's Is this actually a reference

694
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:17.800
<v Speaker 2>to him coming out of retirement or something?

695
00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Like?

696
00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:21.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's probably just him being sad and sending

697
00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:25.119
<v Speaker 2>a subliminal message about it on social media, which most

698
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:27.000
<v Speaker 2>of the world does from time to time.

699
00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:29.760
<v Speaker 3>Right, Like, see him making a reference to all of

700
00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:32.599
<v Speaker 3>this this week and during whatever games he ends up

701
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:34.719
<v Speaker 3>covering for the NFL. Maybe that's obvious.

702
00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:38.920
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I don't feel bad for him, But I

703
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:43.960
<v Speaker 2>mean the situation itself like is sad, So I guess

704
00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:46.039
<v Speaker 2>it I am, But like Tom Brady's one of the

705
00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:48.440
<v Speaker 2>people on the planet that like there's not much that

706
00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:50.559
<v Speaker 2>could happen to where I wouldn't or where I would

707
00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:52.519
<v Speaker 2>feel bad for him, because he's got everything right, Like

708
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:54.840
<v Speaker 2>the guy is, he's got it all.

709
00:35:55.400 --> 00:35:58.360
<v Speaker 3>He's not as unlikable as a Lebron James, though I

710
00:35:58.400 --> 00:35:59.960
<v Speaker 3>feel like maybe I'm wrong.

711
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:03.119
<v Speaker 2>No, I agree, Uh, And Lebron is just Bron at

712
00:36:03.199 --> 00:36:05.719
<v Speaker 2>Lebron has no self awareness. That's where and That's That's

713
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:07.840
<v Speaker 2>what I think really hurts him. Like he's not a criminal,

714
00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:11.440
<v Speaker 2>he's not controversial. He is he is at times, I think,

715
00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:14.400
<v Speaker 2>really just trying to talk. You know. I think he

716
00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:16.559
<v Speaker 2>does the political stuff from time to time just for attention.

717
00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Like I don't think he does it because he you know,

718
00:36:18.119 --> 00:36:20.079
<v Speaker 2>is super passionate or cares. But you know what, do

719
00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:23.519
<v Speaker 2>I know? Brady really was unlikable because he was so

720
00:36:23.639 --> 00:36:26.360
<v Speaker 2>good and he was part of a dynasty and there

721
00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:29.599
<v Speaker 2>was allegations of like they cheated and broke rules and whatnot,

722
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:31.719
<v Speaker 2>and you know, but.

723
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:34.840
<v Speaker 3>Like Mahomes now is way more unlikable than Brady ever

724
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:37.800
<v Speaker 3>was as a human being, you think, I think so.

725
00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:40.760
<v Speaker 3>I think Patrick Mahomes embraces being the villain where Tom

726
00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:43.480
<v Speaker 3>Brady likes to look like the good guy even though

727
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:44.440
<v Speaker 3>people just like him.

728
00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:46.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I know what you mean, because Mahomes is

729
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:48.400
<v Speaker 2>certainly a villain in regards to Like, if you're not

730
00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:50.599
<v Speaker 2>a Chiefs fan, you want to see Mahomes lose and

731
00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:52.559
<v Speaker 2>you feel like he gets all the calls by the reps.

732
00:36:53.159 --> 00:36:56.400
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know, like Patrick Mahomes's image is like

733
00:36:56.559 --> 00:36:58.519
<v Speaker 2>squeaky clean, you know what I mean? Like I mean,

734
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:03.960
<v Speaker 2>and honestly, Brady's is other than like if he did

735
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:06.519
<v Speaker 2>in fact, he put to flate Gate in motion, you

736
00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:08.000
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, Like if he's the one who

737
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:11.519
<v Speaker 2>you know sped up, you know that whole thing, and

738
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:14.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, and he cries to the reps a lot,

739
00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:15.960
<v Speaker 2>but like's if that's the worst thing about you as

740
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:17.639
<v Speaker 2>far as your image, then you know, you're just one

741
00:37:17.679 --> 00:37:20.280
<v Speaker 2>of many athletes. I think crying to the reps in

742
00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:22.519
<v Speaker 2>it working is what really makes people hate you. But

743
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:27.400
<v Speaker 2>I think Steph Curry and Mahomes are in the same

744
00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:31.840
<v Speaker 2>ballpark as far as guys that are clearly really really

745
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:34.840
<v Speaker 2>good and you don't like him, but there's not It's

746
00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:37.719
<v Speaker 2>not like Raymond Green is not the star that Curry

747
00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:40.159
<v Speaker 2>or Mahomes or Lebron or Brady is, but like he's

748
00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:42.840
<v Speaker 2>the perfect villain in sports, right, Like he's a dirty player, yes,

749
00:37:42.920 --> 00:37:45.960
<v Speaker 2>and like doesn't hide it with you know, And Curry's

750
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:49.280
<v Speaker 2>not as successful as Mahomes in my opinion, so therefore,

751
00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:49.599
<v Speaker 2>you know.

752
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:53.440
<v Speaker 3>And maybe I'll feel differently after Mahomes is older and yeah,

753
00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:54.920
<v Speaker 3>maybe not the the guy that he is.

754
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:57.119
<v Speaker 2>Right now, I want to be able to look at

755
00:37:57.119 --> 00:37:59.280
<v Speaker 2>a villain in sports and say, yeah, I know why

756
00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:00.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't like him on the field or the corp.

757
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:02.800
<v Speaker 2>But I also want to know that he's a bad guy.

758
00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:05.440
<v Speaker 2>And sometimes as I've grown and realized, you know, these

759
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:07.920
<v Speaker 2>are human beings that sometimes that's a force for me

760
00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:10.360
<v Speaker 2>because they're really not bad guys. But anyways, we're at

761
00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:12.559
<v Speaker 2>a time. Go h Minnesota State
