WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:03.240 It's time for coffee and company. 2 00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:08.119 Fueled by Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety Holy crap, I. 3 00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:09.720 Don't know who the hell we think when we. 4 00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:13.439 Are get off our show, idiot, the kids are crying 5 00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:14.359 or turn off crying. 6 00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:15.640 A country are screwing it up. 7 00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:18.960 Gold Play Inner Murals, Brother, gold Play Inner Murals. 8 00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:22.079 They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not. 9 00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:25.960 Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here? Are you 10 00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:35.960 kidding me? Now? Here's Nick coffee? 11 00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.759 So during the during the break there, I uh, I 12 00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.399 popped open to uh, to Facebook. And of course I 13 00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:47.359 don't know why I ever do that. Facebook's a useful 14 00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.479 tool when it comes to, you know, keeping up with friends, family, 15 00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:52.079 that kind of stuff. But you know a lot of 16 00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:55.000 times on Facebook, you just you know, it's really just 17 00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.960 turned into nothing but like ads. And I don't know 18 00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:01.439 how DU like this, but I now see when I 19 00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.120 scrolled through Facebook Austin a bunch of groups that I'm 20 00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.519 not a part of. Oh yeah, they like that that. 21 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:10.920 I guess the algorithm thinks that I would like to 22 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:13.480 join in. And and like you, I don't know why there, 23 00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:15.719 I don't know. Facebook's the one place that I feel 24 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:17.680 like the algorithm doesn't quite get me as good as 25 00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.920 you know, the others, especially Instagram and TikTok. But I 26 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:23.719 was a little distracted because it's just something that I 27 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:28.079 can't quite process that this still happens. But apparently at 28 00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:29.959 a middle school here in Louisville. And I don't want 29 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:34.000 to put anybody you know, uh, nothing's happening. And I'm 30 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:35.359 not even gonna say name of the midd school because 31 00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:37.040 I don't know. I don't want anybody freaking out. But 32 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.439 somebody posted a video a picture that said, hey, what's 33 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:41.519 going on at this school? There's a bunch of cars 34 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.799 outside or a bunch of police cars outside school. And 35 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.840 within you know, seconds, they wrote back and said or 36 00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:49.280 minutes they wrote back and said they're leaving. 37 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:49.439 Now. 38 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.319 Looks like everything's okay. But somebody, I guess the comments 39 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:55.480 were spent. And again this is all speculation, but this 40 00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:57.920 has happened. In fact, it happened a few weeks ago, 41 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.319 maybe a month ago or so. And I believe more 42 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.480 high school where like a student did the whole fake 43 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.359 like you know, prank call. I guess that somebody was 44 00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:12.000 shooting up the school, and I don't think there can 45 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:17.280 be many punishments that are too strong when it comes 46 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.800 to making an example of somebody who does that to 47 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:23.840 think that that's funny, because with how often that happens 48 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.960 in society in America, to do that as like a gag, 49 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:33.280 you deserve to be punished substantially. And it really isn't 50 00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:35.080 just about I mean, I think making an example needs 51 00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.039 to happen to where people realize, yeah, if we're gonna 52 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:38.960 get our jokes off, let's not do that. I mean 53 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:43.800 it's a no brainer, but I mean take away just 54 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.800 the example, but like that should be considered like a 55 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.479 crazy level offense to where even though nobody was actually 56 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.520 physically hurt, you know. I mean, it's like somebody who 57 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:57.680 goes into rob a bank that doesn't have a gun, 58 00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.000 but they have put somebody in fear of their life 59 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.439 telling them they have a gun. That's why those people 60 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:05.159 get charged even though they didn't have a weapon. And clearly, 61 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:06.599 you know you can't rob a bank. You're gonna clearly 62 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.159 get in trouble for that. But when you even if 63 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.199 you don't have a weapon, but you you, I mean, 64 00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:14.840 I'm gonna get too you know, sidetracked, We keep talking 65 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.039 about this, but nonetheless like that, I just I don't 66 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.759 know even if you are a teenager, let alone an adult, 67 00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:26.120 and you are, I mean, you're able to understand that 68 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:29.319 what you like, if there becomes an alert that there 69 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.840 is an active shooter at a school where someone's children 70 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.960 go like you are a grade a piece of trash, 71 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.360 And again, I don't think there's many punishments that that 72 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:41.319 that could be too severe for you. But again it's 73 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:45.000 it sounds like everything's okay. And if that ends up 74 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.039 being true and somebody did put in a prank call, 75 00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:48.680 I hope they get caught, and I hope they get 76 00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:53.479 punished in a major way, because I mean there's I mean, 77 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:56.800 that's happened. What they call it, like there's something where 78 00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:00.000 there's like a documentary I watched where it wasn't necessar 79 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:04.000 nearly like that there was like an active Anyways, we'll 80 00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:05.439 move on because I could, I could talk about it 81 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:07.120 for a long time, and I know nobody tunes into 82 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.719 this show to hear that kind of stuff. What is 83 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:10.159 it called? 84 00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:10.439 Though? 85 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.080 Help me out here, Austin on the spot. You don't 86 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.240 even know what I'm talking about. Help me find this word, 87 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.879 because it was you get caught because people are like 88 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.439 addicted to it, like they can't help themselves. They'll have 89 00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:26.079 their location and call in like a bomb threat somewhere. Yeah, 90 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.720 and I'm gonna have to do it. Now, what do 91 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:35.160 What is it referred to to when someone fake calls 92 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:39.920 a bomb threat? Because I bet false flag swatting that's 93 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.360 what it is. Area, I was gonna say squatting, but 94 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.639 it's swatting. Swatting is a fake bomb threat, and look, 95 00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.759 bomb thread is just as scary, right, But like. 96 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:52.759 When you know, I'm glad you found that because I heard, Yes, 97 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:54.959 I remember, that's what people call it. 98 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:57.600 Yeah, so swatting, I mean it is, it is, it 99 00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.800 is clearly and it's it's because sometimes use the swat team. 100 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.160 I guess it says here that you know, making a 101 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.560 fake bomp betters often times referred to as swatting. This 102 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.800 term describes making malicious hoax calls to emergency service, falsely 103 00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.199 reporting a serious crown like a bomb threat, hostage situation, 104 00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:12.240 or murder. The goal is to trigger and over the 105 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:16.360 top police response, potentially including a swat team. So yeah, 106 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:18.600 I mean people who do that really suck at life, 107 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.240 and you know, are awful but I don't know it 108 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:24.399 just guess just because I have a child in school 109 00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:26.519 and I know what that would be as far as 110 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:28.959 fear that something like that's going on, because talk about 111 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:30.879 a helpless feeling. You're at work and there's you know, 112 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:33.800 and this is where it really is. Just I mean, 113 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:36.600 I don't even know the word to use. It's beyond sad, 114 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.839 it's beyond awful. It's just I mean, it leaves you 115 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:43.360 speechless to know that when you hear of a school 116 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:49.759 getting shot up, it's not a surprise anymore. And that's horrific, 117 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.480 Like that is that is terrifying. But that's quite literally 118 00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:54.800 where we are. And I don't have the perfect fix 119 00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:57.360 to it. I'm just you know, I'm just speaking on 120 00:05:57.399 --> 00:05:59.800 it as somebody who realizes, like that's where we are 121 00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.680 in America. Whenever we get you know, whenever you stereotype 122 00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:07.360 or mahen you make fun of other countries for things, 123 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.480 and you know, you play the hits as they say, 124 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:12.680 right like just what's an easy what are we an 125 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.279 easy target for? And this is awful that anybody would 126 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.439 do it. But like I'm not surprised that like in 127 00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:19.519 other countries they make fun of us for school shootings 128 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.079 because they can't quite comprehend how that happens, but it does. Yeah, 129 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:26.240 and also being really fat. We're really fat too. So anyway, 130 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:28.319 sorry to be so serious here as we get the 131 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.720 four o'clock hour rolling, But I just I mean, I'm 132 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.120 sitting here thinking, like, man, I want I'm gonna I'll 133 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:35.839 help them find this person whatever I can do to 134 00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.560 hold somebody accountable for being a real piece of trash. 135 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:40.319 And I'm saying those words because you know there's words 136 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:41.759 I want to use that I can't say, or you 137 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:42.959 know I wouldn't be able to be on the air. 138 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.279 So anyways, it's coffee and company fuel about Thornton's here 139 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.519 on Sports Talk seven ninety. Make sure guys keep taking advantage. 140 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:52.959 Clean them out, Clean out all the Monster Energy drinks 141 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.279 that every Thornton's location has, because they're still letting you 142 00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:57.959 get four of them for seven dollars. You go to 143 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.560 get one of those, just one at most places retail 144 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.600 average price is a little bit under four dollars. Well 145 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.439 you're gonna get four of them for seven, So take 146 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:06.680 advantage at Thornton's and make sure you sign up if 147 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:08.800 you haven't yet to become a member of their Refreshing 148 00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:10.959 Rewards program. All Right, So a lot of talk about 149 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.600 the NFL Draft earlier, still a lot of love out 150 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.319 there for Tyler Shuck, and that has led me to 151 00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.879 just being so anxious to see what happens on Thursday night, 152 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.319 because I mean, I feel like all this love is 153 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:25.079 mostly genuine. It doesn't mean he's certain to be taken 154 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:29.759 really early, but you know, I think given the noise 155 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:33.240 about Shuck for the last I don't know, six weeks 156 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.439 or so, I feel like anything happening can't be considered 157 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:38.439 like a big shock. And I mean that, you know, 158 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:39.800 in like a pot like if he goes in the 159 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.759 top fifteen and he's the third quarterback taken, and there's 160 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:44.639 just a team out there that says, look, we know 161 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.839 we don't need a quarterback right now, but man, we 162 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:48.360 love this guy, and we know assume we're going to 163 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:50.519 need a quarterback maybe in a year or two. We're 164 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:52.120 not going to let this guy slip past us. Like 165 00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:55.839 that's that's something I think that is potentially realistic to happen. 166 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:57.720 So good stuff. We'll get back into the draft later. 167 00:07:57.720 --> 00:07:59.399 In fact, we got all week to talk NFL Draft, 168 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:03.240 and we will certainly do that, but some acquisitions made, 169 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:06.279 if you will. I don't think they've ever been referred 170 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:07.720 to as that in the college level, but that's what 171 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:09.319 it is, right like the transfer portal has given you 172 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.120 free agency and you go sign players and buy them 173 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:13.879 just like you know you do in the NBA in 174 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.560 the NFL. And we'll start with Louisville football because they 175 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.240 landed a commitment over the weekend from Dacari Collins, who 176 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.199 has a lot of experience in the ACC with a 177 00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:26.439 couple of different schools. So he started his career at 178 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:30.519 Clemson and ended up at n c State. Last year 179 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.600 he had fifty five catches, seven hundred and fifty five 180 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.759 yards four touchdowns. In fact, I'm sorry that was his 181 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:40.080 numbers total, not just last year. So he was at 182 00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:43.240 Clemson a year, then n c State, and you know, 183 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:47.679 now he's coming to Louisville. Clearly, Louisville needs some talent receiver, 184 00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:49.360 and I don't mean to say that they're there, but 185 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:51.399 I just think they need they needed one more weapon, 186 00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:54.559 and hopefully this is that guy. I still think we're 187 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:57.639 getting the biggest I mean again, it's hard to say 188 00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.279 that this was the biggest get for Louisville, but kind 189 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.440 of was Colin Lacey coming back was huge and you 190 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:06.320 had to rerecruit him. You had because and by the way, 191 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:10.000 I understood every bit of emotion that came with everybody's 192 00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:12.679 reaction to him deciding to opt out during the season, 193 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:17.200 and I you know, I get it, especially if you're 194 00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:20.279 like Jeff brom like, you know, what are we supposed 195 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:23.039 to do now? But if you had the chance to 196 00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:26.200 take advantage of a situation that is best for you 197 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.200 and your career in your life, a lot of us 198 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:30.559 would do it. And that's what Colin did. He decided 199 00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:34.639 to go ahead and sit, get healthy fully and utilize 200 00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:36.799 a chance to play college football for another season and 201 00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:38.120 of course make a lot of money. And he chose 202 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:40.799 to do that at Louisville. So re recruiting and getting 203 00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:43.679 a guy that you know was going to have a 204 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:45.679 lot of other options that that was a good win. 205 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.960 So he's going to be your your your top playmaker 206 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.279 on offense at receiver, I believe. And then Chris Bell, 207 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:53.360 I mean last year, you know, at times you could 208 00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:55.320 see some immaturity from him, a guy kind of still 209 00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:57.480 when I say immaturity, I just mean, you know, letting 210 00:09:57.480 --> 00:09:59.679 his emotions get the best of him and making some 211 00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:01.279 boneut head it plays. But he's got a lot of 212 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.120 talent and he finished strong. I think he had a 213 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:04.519 breakthrough a year, and I expect him to have a 214 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:08.480 good season this upcoming year. So you know, there's other 215 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:10.159 guys that you know, you feel pretty good about, but 216 00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:13.720 this is a talented kid here, Collins, who's from Atlanta. 217 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:19.519 And I mean, yeah, let's see trying to see how 218 00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:21.519 many touchdowns I feel like. I feel like what I 219 00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:24.000 read over the weekend included more touchdowns than what I'm 220 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.519 seeing here. But you know, he's played again at both 221 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:30.360 Florida State, or not Florida State, but Clemson and at 222 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:34.200 NC State. And I guess most of the right up 223 00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.200 here that I'm referencing, as far as like the accolades 224 00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:37.840 it is, it is from when he was in high school. 225 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:39.919 But you know, I feel like if Jeff Brown thinks 226 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:41.559 this guy is good enough, that's good enough for me. 227 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:44.279 And I mean, I think we've seen that Jeff brom 228 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.519 is able to take guys that maybe wouldn't be stellar 229 00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:50.159 in other offenses and he can make them not only 230 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:53.240 productive and valuable pieces, but you know, make them look 231 00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:54.480 good enough to where they can go and have an 232 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.360 NFL career. I mean, I don't know if the guy's 233 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.399 still with the Bengals, but the what's the guy's name 234 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.919 is his white guy named Charlie who transferred from transferred 235 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.440 from Iowa after not really being a big factor in 236 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.519 the Iowa offense, and then at Jeff with Jeff Brom 237 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:13.360 at Perdue, he was phenomenal and was like an All 238 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:18.279 American Charlie Jones that's his name, and I think he was. 239 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:20.840 He ended up going to the fourth round of the 240 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:23.639 draft by the by the Bengals, and lest I checked, 241 00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:25.720 he's still there. So I've only referenced him just as 242 00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:29.919 he's somebody who at I mean while at Iowa, I 243 00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:32.200 mean he didn't do much and he hit the portal 244 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:36.720 because he probably wanted more opportunity, and sure enough he 245 00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.000 he had a breakout year at Purdue and now he's 246 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.559 still playing in the NFL. So if you are somebody 247 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:43.600 that has yet to really break through, but you believe 248 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:45.879 in your talent, your ability, you're just looking for an 249 00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.120 offense that you could really shine in. I mean that 250 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:52.080 Jeff Brom is that guy. So a good pick up 251 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:53.360 But the reason I wanted to bring this up and 252 00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:54.799 talk about a little bit more than just you know, 253 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.320 sharing the information that you probably already knew that they 254 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:01.320 added this young man is the reporting that times when 255 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.840 it comes to the portal. And I don't know why 256 00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:08.039 I've become a little sensitive this. Maybe it's just because 257 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:10.440 you know, I'm a sensitive fan like a lot of people. Right, 258 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:16.840 but when this news broke, this was let's see when 259 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:21.639 was this. This news came down on Saturday afternoon, and 260 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:25.080 for some reason, I can't seem to find the original. 261 00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:28.480 Uh yeah, So Brad Crawford, who covers I guess, you know, 262 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.000 college football and recruiting for twenty four seven sports in 263 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.679 NBC Sports. I mean, I'm sure I seemed a little 264 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.759 triggered here with my response to him, but it just, 265 00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:42.080 you know, became annoying to me. When announcing that Dacaari 266 00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:44.519 Collins had committed Louisville. Here is how he worded it. 267 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.799 Louisville is spending money in the spring cycle, just got 268 00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:51.159 a commitment from NC state wide receiver toe Dacaarie Collins. 269 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:54.159 So that's not an insult, that's not I mean, that's 270 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:57.639 just sharing news. But I've seen it enough to get 271 00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:01.840 the sense that when Louisville does land certain places, nobody 272 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:03.679 can just acknowledge that, you know, they'd want to play 273 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:05.919 for Louisville had to be had to be a big 274 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.440 spend because you know he's going to Louisville, and you 275 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.039 know that that makes sense with certain situations, but not 276 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.200 this one, because again, I don't even know what this 277 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.600 young man cost, but I would imagine the fact that 278 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:21.200 you know he was available and he's not like, I mean, 279 00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:23.440 I hope this guy's great. Maybe he ends up being 280 00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:25.559 an All American, who knows. But it's not as if 281 00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:27.639 like Louisvill would had to pay an insane amount to 282 00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:30.080 get this guy. I mean, he clearly had some other options, 283 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:32.480 especially those that really know they need a receiver post 284 00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:34.639 spring because of a guy hitting the portal or whatever. 285 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:39.960 But I mean, last I checked, you know money's going 286 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.120 to be a factor. But players, I mean, I feel 287 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:45.200 like you should know this as somebody who covers college football. 288 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:49.639 Offensive players would want to play for Jeff brom Who 289 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:51.279 I mean, I don't know why you mean to me, 290 00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:54.559 that's a no brainer. So the constant insinuation it's not 291 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:57.159 just Louisville but like elsewhere, when you see certain guys 292 00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:00.240 make a decision, well, I mean it's got to be money, 293 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.879 and sometimes that's true. But when are we going to 294 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.679 get to a point to where we just realize that's 295 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:09.919 now a big factor if you want to get players. 296 00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:12.480 We're still we still have some fans out there, and 297 00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:15.120 I guess those that cover the sport college football in 298 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.200 college basketball that they just use that as the crutch. 299 00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:20.879 Well I mean, yeah, just big spend. I mean that's why. 300 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:23.759 I mean, we just want to justify spending. And you 301 00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:25.279 you all had to spend that amount of money because 302 00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:26.480 you could only get him if you spend a lot 303 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:29.080 of money on him. We wouldn't you know, Like the 304 00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:33.519 portal in a way can become the ultimate excuse for 305 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.960 anything for coaches, right like, well, hey, you know we 306 00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:40.279 need money because you know, you want you want to win, 307 00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:41.519 and we got to get money. I mean, we were 308 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:43.000 trying out here, but you guys got to donate more 309 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:45.000 money to the collective because we you know, we need 310 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:47.080 money to get players. It's like if if you stink, 311 00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:50.600 you can just blame it on that. So same thing 312 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:52.840 with like fans, right, well, you know we wanted him 313 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:54.679 but not for that price. It's not your money, but 314 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:58.039 he care you wanted him. And sometimes you really will 315 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.399 get to a point where you'll say, Okay, we were 316 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.200 in on you for one hundred and fifty thousand, but 317 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:05.159 not two hundred and fifty thousand, So best of luck. 318 00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:08.480 And that's just how this works now, Like there's I 319 00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:10.639 do think eventually we'll get to a point where there's 320 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:15.600 so many players that hit the portal annually that it'll 321 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.000 become more of a rarity to see people lose their 322 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.320 mind about not getting a certain guy in the portal, 323 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:23.279 because if you give it a little bit of time, 324 00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:25.600 you know, like a day or two, another player will 325 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:28.279 probably hit the portal and you can go after him. 326 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:30.279 So you know, money's always going to be a factor. 327 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.519 But I just don't I don't know. I'm a little 328 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:36.720 sensitive to well, the only reason and that's not what 329 00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:39.279 this guy said, but there's been enough implying of that 330 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:41.360 that's just been irritating to me that you know, because 331 00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.279 let's be honest, this is a good situation to be in. 332 00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:45.600 I mean, wouldn't you agree. Also when it comes to 333 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:49.200 the coverage of nil both Louisville basketball and football, if 334 00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:52.679 there's any coverage of their nil resources. It's been good. Yeah, 335 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:54.720 people talk about that they have money. There was that 336 00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:57.879 nonsense last year about Penny boone checks not clearing, which 337 00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:59.559 you all remember that had nothing to do with that. 338 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:04.039 I wanted more money, and quite literally, he wasn't deserving 339 00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:06.159 of it, because you know what ended up playing out 340 00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:08.639 was exactly what Jeff prom realized. I got two true 341 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.159 freshmen that are way better than you. I don't need 342 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:13.240 to give you any more money. You're already here. He 343 00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:15.559 decided to take his ball and go home and couldn't 344 00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:17.519 find a home and was the third best running back 345 00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:20.720 at Central Florida year ago. So, like, you know, life 346 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:22.360 comes at your face. That's the only thing I can 347 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:24.799 think of as far as where there was any noise 348 00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:27.440 out there about Louisville in IL basketball or football, and 349 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:29.200 it wasn't positive. For the most part, has been positive, 350 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:31.799 and that's what you want. But the insinuation that like, well, 351 00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:34.080 that's the only reason that that you know, I don't 352 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:35.559 know why that triggers me a little bit. But day 353 00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:40.000 basketball coach not even using that IL last year, Oh god, yeah, 354 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:43.759 I mean that's talk about malpractice, you know, And I 355 00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:46.320 know they're not. I mean, they aren't going to do it, 356 00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:50.440 and they shouldn't. But when I heard that, he left 357 00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:54.320 a lot of money just available and not you like 358 00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:57.639 Kenny Payne used private funding from like his you know, 359 00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:01.480 his his his networking in his basket all people, yeah, 360 00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:03.360 to give him money about players. He didn't use the 361 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:06.640 FAVO two circle like I'm sure they wouldn't do it. 362 00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:08.799 And again, putting this out there makes it sound like 363 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:12.119 I'm saying they should. But is it crazy to think 364 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:13.960 that that could be used against him? Like, hey, man, 365 00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:17.160 like we're not like your your buyout is not going 366 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:19.880 to be paid in full because you didn't actually you know, yeah, 367 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:24.400 we can't. We can't necessarily, you know, hold you accountable 368 00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:26.960 for winning and losing. Because that's crazy that that's the case, 369 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:29.200 that you can be terrible at your job and yet 370 00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:31.839 that's not cause to fire you. Crazy that that's how 371 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:35.039 coaching contracts have always worked out. But anyways, not using 372 00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:37.519 resources we give you to try to do your job, like, 373 00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:39.559 that's a little bit of a different situation. Again, I 374 00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:41.960 don't think you'll ever see any school fight that. But 375 00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:43.680 if Louva fought it, I know they'd have a lot 376 00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:45.359 of support from the fans, that's for sure. All Right, 377 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:47.440 quick break, we'll come back on the other side, kind 378 00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:50.400 of continue the conversation because it sounds like Kentucky's last 379 00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:53.920 piece as their roster is reportedly set for year two 380 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:56.799 with Mark Pope. Apparently it was a big spend and 381 00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:59.400 we'll see if it's worth it. I mean, none of 382 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:01.839 us know. But when it comes to guys that you 383 00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:04.759 won't spend a lot of money on meeting Kentucky, I 384 00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:08.279 was kind of questioning, well, why wouldn't. You're Kentucky, you 385 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:12.240 have the money. But this guy that they added, good player, 386 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:14.880 for sure, but I'm not sure this would be the 387 00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:17.160 one that I would have spent a ton of money on. 388 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.039 But hey, it's not my money. I'd stick with us 389 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:20.079 right here on Sports Talk seven. 390 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:24.680 Ninety Now back to coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's 391 00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:26.599 on Sports Talk seven nine day. 392 00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:32.279 All right, so this was reported by Matt Norlander of 393 00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:37.119 CBS Sports. He put this out earlier today and it 394 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:42.319 says that barring any portal defections, Kentucky has ended its 395 00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:47.640 pursuits of all other portal targets. So they got a 396 00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:52.839 commitment today from Florida. Yes, Florida's national championship six man 397 00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:56.880 Denzel A. Bearding, he decided to commit to Kentucky. And 398 00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:00.519 you know this means not I'm just giving you my 399 00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:02.680 just being honest with you. I'm sure anything I say 400 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:04.880 about Kentucky is going to be viewed by some as 401 00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:07.480
