00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:23.760

7
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:25.359
<v Speaker 2>for the obvious things that you think of when it

8
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:28.079
<v Speaker 2>comes to a gas station convenience store, but also keep

9
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:30.879
<v Speaker 2>them in mind for food. They've got delicious food items.

10
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:33.359

11
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.439

34
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.439
<v Speaker 2>I had on on Monday night was a feeling I

35
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 2>really hadn't had in a long time, and that was

36
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:40.760
<v Speaker 2>watching my Louisville basketball team that I you know, I

37
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:45.719
<v Speaker 2>am a lunatic for If that is a thing, like, hey,

38
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm a lunatic for you, that would probably not be

39
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:50.959
<v Speaker 2>something that people would hear and feel good about. They

40
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.200
<v Speaker 2>might think you're a crazy person, but hey, I know

41
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not the only one that's crazy about the louisvill

42
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 2>basketball program. And it's unhealthy for sure, but it is

43
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:00.760
<v Speaker 2>what it is. When I say, on hell healthy, it's unhealthy.

44
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 2>How much my morale and mood changes whenever things are

45
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.799
<v Speaker 2>going good or bad. And clearly things have been bad

46
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 2>for a while for Louisville basketball.

47
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:09.960
<v Speaker 1>But not anymore.

48
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:14.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean, really, it's been an upward climb since Pat

49
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Kelsey got hired. He did everything I feel like you

50
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 2>can do up until you know you can actually give

51
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 2>results that matter and mean the most, which is winning

52
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.759
<v Speaker 2>and losing, and so far he's one to zero. But

53
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:31.280
<v Speaker 2>the way in which they played, and I mean I

54
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:33.319
<v Speaker 2>wasn't there obviously, I didn't get to go, and when

55
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 2>I do go to games this year, I never can

56
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:36.479
<v Speaker 2>stick around for the whole thing because I got to

57
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:37.919
<v Speaker 2>do the postgame show. But I'll be at plenty of

58
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.479
<v Speaker 2>this year, trust me. But you know, just to see

59
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.800
<v Speaker 2>from my house watching the crowd get into it, and

60
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.080
<v Speaker 2>clearly they were feeding off of how hard this team

61
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.560
<v Speaker 2>was playing. And I went back and watched a little

62
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:52.719
<v Speaker 2>bit of it last night. I put it on the

63
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.479
<v Speaker 2>iPad for Moose. He's all in, baby, he's all in

64
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:58.039
<v Speaker 2>on mean, perfect age for him, perfect age for how

65
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.360
<v Speaker 2>this played out so selfishly for me. Not only is

66
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:03.000
<v Speaker 2>it great that you know, we're out with the old

67
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.800
<v Speaker 2>era in with the new one. But before this year,

68
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Moose wasn't old enough to really understand like if we

69
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 2>were like winning and losing, right, But now he like knows, Hey,

70
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.599
<v Speaker 2>every time there's any game on football, basketball, baseball, anything,

71
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:17.879
<v Speaker 2>if we turn on wrestling or boxing or you have

72
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:21.439
<v Speaker 2>c anything, dad who we like, Dad who we like?

73
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.639
<v Speaker 2>He wants to know which team we're rooting for. And

74
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:26.000
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't have to ask me when it comes to

75
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:28.120
<v Speaker 2>the go cards because he knows that's our team. But

76
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's good now that he's you know, he's

77
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.439
<v Speaker 2>he's he's likely going to see a lot more winning

78
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:37.000
<v Speaker 2>than losing, and that's that's good. But anyways, when it

79
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:41.719
<v Speaker 2>comes to the you know, watching this group on Monday,

80
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I really do believe that they played better

81
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.599
<v Speaker 2>than they've played at any like they put it this way.

82
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:49.919
<v Speaker 2>They played harder. You could tell there was more attention

83
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.800
<v Speaker 2>to detail. The intensity was there, and that's been there

84
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:54.439
<v Speaker 2>every step of the way. And the two exhibitions in

85
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:56.520
<v Speaker 2>the Bahamas and the two exhibition games they played this

86
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:58.800
<v Speaker 2>year just a few weeks ago, like they've played hard

87
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 2>and looked and looked the part and looked like a

88
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:02.919
<v Speaker 2>team that is coached by Pat Kelsey. But it was

89
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.360
<v Speaker 2>a different level on Monday night. And that's great to

90
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:08.479
<v Speaker 2>see because it's a real game and it counts, and

91
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:10.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you were able to jump up quite a

92
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:12.759
<v Speaker 2>bit in the Knpom because you beat a team by

93
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:16.480
<v Speaker 2>forty eight points. And you know, I'm well aware that

94
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.240
<v Speaker 2>they're going to have a different kind of challenge against

95
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee on Saturday. But to go back to those feelings

96
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.160
<v Speaker 2>that we didn't have for a long time, now they're

97
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.240
<v Speaker 2>coming back and they feel better than they probably did

98
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.240
<v Speaker 2>the last time around, because you know what, the last

99
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.079
<v Speaker 2>time around, it was more of a normal thing. It

100
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.920
<v Speaker 2>was more of, you know, a routine type of thing.

101
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 2>We've been in a drought. We are desperate, we are

102
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.920
<v Speaker 2>starving for good vibes when it comes to Louisville basketball,

103
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.680
<v Speaker 2>and Monday was great. But now I'm feeling just the

104
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.079
<v Speaker 2>big game vibe right, like knowing, hey, here we go,

105
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.759
<v Speaker 2>Louisville basketball is about to have a big afternoon at

106
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.560
<v Speaker 2>the Yump Center, taking on a top fifteen team, and

107
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:54.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't know about you, guys, that can only speak

108
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 2>for me. I think they're going to win. I do,

109
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.079
<v Speaker 2>and clearly that just sounds like the most Homerish thing

110
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 2>to say. But if you listen to them even a

111
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.519
<v Speaker 2>little bit, I don't usually do that. Like, you know,

112
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:07.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not afraid to say what I think will happen.

113
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:13.040
<v Speaker 2>But like if I felt like Louisville, you know, was

114
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.360
<v Speaker 2>likely going to lose, but man, they could compete and

115
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.800
<v Speaker 2>maybe they pull off a big upset like I I mean,

116
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I'll be honest with you. And again, you know me

117
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 2>even a little bit. You know I'm often wrong. We

118
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 2>all are. It was easy to you know, it was

119
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.959
<v Speaker 2>easy to be able to predetermine who wins any game.

120
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.279
<v Speaker 2>Then you know we wouldn't play sports because you know,

121
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:32.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess we would, but you could keep

122
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.519
<v Speaker 2>that a secret and make a billion dollars gambling on it.

123
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:36.759
<v Speaker 2>So again, what I'm trying to say is like, if

124
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:39.680
<v Speaker 2>you just look at the personnel on both sides, it's

125
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.199
<v Speaker 2>not a far fetched thing at all. In fact, I

126
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:43.079
<v Speaker 2>am eager to see what the spread is in this game.

127
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee will probably be favored but I don't know. Maybe

128
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm wrong here because Tennessee being ranked preseason number twelve,

129
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it's due to the fact that they

130
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:53.959
<v Speaker 2>have a coach that deserves respect, like he deserves the

131
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.279
<v Speaker 2>benefit of the doubt, because more often than not, Tennessee's good.

132
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:58.680
<v Speaker 2>In the last seven years, Rick Barnes has won more

133
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.800
<v Speaker 2>SEC games than anybody else. So, you know, I get

134
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:06.439
<v Speaker 2>that their preseason ranked, but I think they're the perfect

135
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:09.000
<v Speaker 2>example of a team that's preseason ranked because of where

136
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.240
<v Speaker 2>they were last year and they did decent in the portal,

137
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:14.720
<v Speaker 2>but not to the level that Louisville did. And they

138
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.399
<v Speaker 2>do bring back one guy that I think is clearly

139
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:20.959
<v Speaker 2>worthy of, you know, not only respect, but like he's

140
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.160
<v Speaker 2>a good player, Zekai Zigler. He's been there a long time,

141
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.360
<v Speaker 2>he's been solid. Maybe he ends up being the guy

142
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.240
<v Speaker 2>for them this year. But if that's the case and

143
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.720
<v Speaker 2>he's their best player, which I think he is, I

144
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.959
<v Speaker 2>think that's pretty telling. Not that they're going to be terrible,

145
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.079
<v Speaker 2>but that Louisville maybe they don't have a guy that's

146
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.120
<v Speaker 2>as good as Ziggler, which I think they do. But

147
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.319
<v Speaker 2>let's just say you wanted to play Devil's advocate. Louisville's

148
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:46.399
<v Speaker 2>collection of players I think is substantially better than Tennessee's.

149
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:48.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Tennessee's got guys that have been there for

150
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:52.680
<v Speaker 2>a few years that didn't have much of a role. Well,

151
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:55.519
<v Speaker 2>now they're being expected to play many, you know, major minutes,

152
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.600
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I don't think they're going to be

153
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:00.839
<v Speaker 2>able to produce at a level that you would need

154
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:02.920
<v Speaker 2>to be in order to kind of maintain the top

155
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:07.959
<v Speaker 2>twelve status. And they've got portal guys just like Louisville.

156
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.160
<v Speaker 2>But Louisville's got more of them. And I think you

157
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:13.879
<v Speaker 2>can look at you know, for example, the guy they

158
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:15.600
<v Speaker 2>brought in from North Florida, I forget his name. He

159
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:17.879
<v Speaker 2>was a guy Kentucky wanted. He ended up choosing Tennessee,

160
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:20.480
<v Speaker 2>had a real big break I think Chas laneyar is

161
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.240
<v Speaker 2>his name. He had a big breakout season last year

162
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:23.920
<v Speaker 2>in North Florida, which is one of the lowest level

163
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Division one programs out there. And he may come in

164
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:29.079
<v Speaker 2>and drop forty on us because of you know what

165
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying, But you know, I think his numbers are

166
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:35.480
<v Speaker 2>more of a factor in where he played. I mean

167
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.360
<v Speaker 2>korin Johnson's more talented. Kaoran Johnson is our backup guard.

168
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.839
<v Speaker 2>I know what Terrence Edwards can do. I know Chucky

169
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Hepburn what he can do. Like I just think Louisville's

170
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:46.759
<v Speaker 2>a better team. They got better players.

171
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Now.

172
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.279
<v Speaker 2>Maybe Tennessee is able to keep Louisville from getting into

173
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:52.160
<v Speaker 2>what they want to do right. Maybe they're able to

174
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:56.120
<v Speaker 2>dictate pace and call some frustration on offense. And you

175
00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:58.879
<v Speaker 2>know that wouldn't necessarily be a good recipe for Louisville.

176
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:04.000
<v Speaker 2>But I think they're better. I really do. So we'll

177
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.279
<v Speaker 2>have the postgame show on Saturday as soon as it ends,

178
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:09.519
<v Speaker 2>probably I guess roughly around two o'clock, the louisvill basketball

179
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.519
<v Speaker 2>post game show. No football postgame show, of course, because

180
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:14.360
<v Speaker 2>you know there's no game. But again, it's just nice

181
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:19.560
<v Speaker 2>to see a you know, a big game on the schedule,

182
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:23.399
<v Speaker 2>meaning a good team, and know that you're likely going

183
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:26.800
<v Speaker 2>to be in an atmosphere that's pretty awesome. Twenty two

184
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.720
<v Speaker 2>thousand certainly not. But I think that lower bowl is

185
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.759
<v Speaker 2>going to be full. I think the upper level will

186
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:35.879
<v Speaker 2>have you know, some fans up there. How many, I

187
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:38.440
<v Speaker 2>don't know, but look, if these guys come out and

188
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.200
<v Speaker 2>play hard. It's going to be a really big time

189
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:45.080
<v Speaker 2>atmosphere that we haven't had in a long time, and

190
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:48.600
<v Speaker 2>that can only potentially, I guess, you know, increase Louisville's

191
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.879
<v Speaker 2>chances of winning. So again, I know I sound super confident,

192
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:55.879
<v Speaker 2>and it's not that I'm telling you there's no scenario

193
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.679
<v Speaker 2>that they lose, But I guess I'm just excited to

194
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:02.440
<v Speaker 2>be able to look at this matchup and you know,

195
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:04.720
<v Speaker 2>maybe and maybe I'm maybe you're all laughing at me,

196
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.840
<v Speaker 2>and I'm, you know, in my own world here, just delusional.

197
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:09.759
<v Speaker 2>But like, I don't think looking at these two teams

198
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.320
<v Speaker 2>from a personnel standpoint and thinking Louisville is gonna win

199
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.639
<v Speaker 2>is crazy at all. And if it is crazy to you,

200
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:21.519
<v Speaker 2>it's because you're probably just still thinking of Louisville as

201
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:23.720
<v Speaker 2>a team that's been really down for the last however

202
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:25.840
<v Speaker 2>many years, that hasn't been ranked in the top twenty

203
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:27.080
<v Speaker 2>five since two thousand.

204
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Like that's that's that's where we.

205
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.879
<v Speaker 2>Are, or where we were, I should say, because it's

206
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:38.000
<v Speaker 2>certainly not that now. So it's exciting to be excited.

207
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:40.720
<v Speaker 2>That's the best way to put it, all, right, Fibo

208
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:42.720
<v Speaker 2>two five seven seventy nine hundred is the number. If

209
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:44.120
<v Speaker 2>you guys want to jump in and join us on

210
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:46.200
<v Speaker 2>the phone lines again. Text line FIBO two six five

<v Speaker 2>three zero seven ninety Ellen and Federal Credit Union text line.

212
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to Scott who joins us here on the

213
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.440
<v Speaker 2>phone lines? What's happening, Scott, Ahi near?

214
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:55.360
<v Speaker 3>Howie you doing doing?

215
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay? How are you?

216
00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:58.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing what? I'll thank you.

217
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.879
<v Speaker 4>I want to talk about a couple of things. Things

218
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:07.000
<v Speaker 4>I noticed when Pat Kelsey took over was energy effort

219
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:08.519
<v Speaker 4>and intensity.

220
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.320
<v Speaker 3>And I'm a.

221
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:14.159
<v Speaker 4>Sixty year old man who remembers Jenny Crumb. We had

222
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:22.440
<v Speaker 4>energy effort and intensity under him, under Patino, but when.

223
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:25.080
<v Speaker 3>The former coach.

224
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:29.639
<v Speaker 4>Showed up, it was nothing, no energy, nothing.

225
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:32.120
<v Speaker 3>He was just a lot kind of guy.

226
00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:34.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and Scott, it really you know it, trust me.

227
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:35.919
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't as if I could see it right away

228
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:37.480
<v Speaker 2>and knew that it was going to be as bad.

229
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:38.159
<v Speaker 1>As it actually was.

230
00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:40.639
<v Speaker 2>But the first like real impression that I got from

231
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Kenny Payne coaching Louisville was in that exhibition game that

232
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.360
<v Speaker 2>he lost, and I thought to myself, man, these guys

233
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.399
<v Speaker 2>are a reflection of this guy's energy on the sideline,

234
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.919
<v Speaker 2>and that's not a good thing. Pat Kelsey's high energy,

235
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:55.240
<v Speaker 2>he's a wild man, and these guys play just like that, which.

236
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:58.039
<v Speaker 1>I think is a pretty good recipe, right, And that's just.

237
00:10:58.080 --> 00:10:59.440
<v Speaker 3>You know, my person.

238
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:02.000
<v Speaker 5>You're right. The first thought I had after the first

239
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:05.240
<v Speaker 5>game was this guy's blaw. You know, maybe not a

240
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:07.759
<v Speaker 5>good coach, a good teacher either that it was just

241
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.039
<v Speaker 5>the law. And I just remember Denny Crume. His players

242
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:14.279
<v Speaker 5>played hard for forty minutes, yep.

243
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:20.080
<v Speaker 3>And obviously the same thing for Patino, And for life

244
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:21.159
<v Speaker 3>of me, I cannot remember the.

245
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Guy that oh Chris Mac you know.

246
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:27.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he had high his team's had energy, intensity, effort.

247
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.279
<v Speaker 3>It was all there. But then Payne shows up and

248
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:34.559
<v Speaker 3>we lost that yep. And I, like you, I'm excited

249
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:35.720
<v Speaker 3>for this new energy and.

250
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:40.840
<v Speaker 5>Hopefully a new era for Cardinal basketball.

251
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:42.559
<v Speaker 1>No doubt. Thank you for the call, Scott. I appreciate it. Yeah.

252
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:46.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Pat Kelsey, we all know that he needs

253
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:47.960
<v Speaker 2>to win games here and I think he will, but

254
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:51.600
<v Speaker 2>we'll and we'll learn this one way or the other.

255
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:54.240
<v Speaker 2>But I think you know, if you're struggling now again,

256
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.879
<v Speaker 2>you can't be bad, like you can't be terrible consistently.

257
00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:59.639
<v Speaker 2>But I have a feeling that, like if the guys

258
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:05.039
<v Speaker 2>pulled with the same level of effort and intensity like

259
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:07.559
<v Speaker 2>we saw on Monday Night all year, nobody's gonna be

260
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.240
<v Speaker 2>happy with losses. But I think fans will be able

261
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:11.639
<v Speaker 2>to live with it, you know what I mean. Again,

262
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:14.039
<v Speaker 2>if you've got way more losses than wins, that that

263
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:15.799
<v Speaker 2>that that's a that's a tough.

264
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Thing to see.

265
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:19.200
<v Speaker 2>But again I'm of the belief that that that scenario

266
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:20.840
<v Speaker 2>is not going to play itself out, meaning where they

267
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:22.960
<v Speaker 2>have like a bad record if they play that hard

268
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:27.000
<v Speaker 2>because they've got some talent, and in fact, last year's

269
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:29.080
<v Speaker 2>team in the year before that, even it was a

270
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:33.000
<v Speaker 2>reminder that talent really means nothing if you don't have

271
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:36.720
<v Speaker 2>uh an identity as a team, guys aren't locked in.

272
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.519
<v Speaker 2>There's not clearly a you know, I mean, Louisville was

273
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.200
<v Speaker 2>a very unseerious type of program with Kenny just because

274
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:45.960
<v Speaker 2>everything about it, from top to bottom, the play on

275
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.600
<v Speaker 2>the floor and every other thing outside of the actual

276
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:53.720
<v Speaker 2>game action was just unserious and and and lazy. And

277
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:56.000
<v Speaker 2>you know that's the exact opposite. Now, I mean, Pat

278
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:59.519
<v Speaker 2>Kelsey right now is walking around campus at U of L,

279
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.320
<v Speaker 2>just walking up to students telling them to come to

280
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:05.039
<v Speaker 2>the game, asking them if they're coming to the game.

281
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm in it as a compliment. He's a madman,

282
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.279
<v Speaker 2>but he's the mad man we need basketball sicko as

283
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.360
<v Speaker 2>some are referring to him as. And again, that's probably

284
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:15.200
<v Speaker 2>not something that many would take as a compliment. Right

285
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:17.679
<v Speaker 2>if you call somebody a sicico under any circumstance, I

286
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.039
<v Speaker 2>would assume they'd be insulted. But I think he knows

287
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:23.840
<v Speaker 2>we mean it in a heart, a very you know,

288
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:27.320
<v Speaker 2>wholesome way, like he's our sicco that we needed to

289
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:30.080
<v Speaker 2>come and save us in this. This probably won't be

290
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:32.600
<v Speaker 2>great for a radio show because you know, there's no

291
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:35.279
<v Speaker 2>visual here, but this is the Instagram post that he

292
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.000
<v Speaker 2>just put up on his Instagram. Pat Kelsey just walking

293
00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:40.240
<v Speaker 2>around talking to the student body, trying to make sure

294
00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:42.559
<v Speaker 2>they're well aware of the big game on Saturday.

295
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, are you coming to the game?

296
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:45.080
<v Speaker 5>Of course?

297
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:46.600

<v Speaker 1>You guys going, Sure, that's what I'm talking about.

307

<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, your friend's going, yeah, all of them going.

<v Speaker 1>All my roommates, I mean, roommate, You got.

310
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:24.320
<v Speaker 7>The game Saturday at the Young twelve o'clock Louisville, Tennessee.

311
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:26.879
<v Speaker 1>You a Bengals fan? Can I get a who day?

312
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:33.919
<v Speaker 2>So, first of all, my first reaction when seeing this

313
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:39.320
<v Speaker 2>is awesome. But the second reaction is there's nobody else

314
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:42.000
<v Speaker 2>that has ever coached here that would ever do that,

315
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:47.879
<v Speaker 2>and we need that right now. And I mean, who's

316
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:51.120
<v Speaker 2>the most relatable coach to our fans up to this

317
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:54.200
<v Speaker 2>point or not touch to our fans, but to students,

318
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:57.639
<v Speaker 2>because you know, we're we're kind of like I've never

319
00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:02.960
<v Speaker 2>really Louisville is Louisville basketb is the pro basketball.

320
00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Team in this town.

321
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:04.559
<v Speaker 2>And I know there's a ton of big Kentucky fans

322
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:06.320
<v Speaker 2>in Kentucky's their pro team, but I just mean, like,

323
00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:08.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, in this city, obviously UK doesn't play here.

324
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.679
<v Speaker 2>So like when I my first memories of going to

325
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.759
<v Speaker 2>games at Freedom Hall, like I don't remember seeing anybody

326
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:15.480
<v Speaker 2>who I thought was a college student. I saw people

327
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:17.919
<v Speaker 2>who were wearing sweater vests, and you know, I mean

328
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.519
<v Speaker 2>there was a there was a type, there was a

329
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:23.320
<v Speaker 2>demo right the the you know, when I was a

330
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:27.240
<v Speaker 2>young kid, somebody old enough to be maybe not my grandpa,

331
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:29.679
<v Speaker 2>but like between the age of my dad and my grandpa,

332
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:32.919
<v Speaker 2>they looked like they did well for themselves and man

333
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:37.399
<v Speaker 2>they had most likely the wife with them would likely

334
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:39.799
<v Speaker 2>be wearing a red sweater and they would stand up

335
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.240
<v Speaker 2>and scream and just go all out during Louisville games, Like,

336
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, the people who make this one of the

337
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.240
<v Speaker 2>most profitable basketball programs in the country aren't students. It's

338
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:53.120
<v Speaker 2>it's you know, because again we're not just catering to

339
00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:56.200
<v Speaker 2>students around here. It's it's Louisville's team and both football

340
00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.399
<v Speaker 2>and basketball. Again, there's no NFL, there's no NBA, So

341
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:00.639
<v Speaker 2>you guys get what I'm saying. But I never once

342
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:02.720
<v Speaker 2>really thought about, like if you had a coach who

343
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:09.000
<v Speaker 2>really did make it a priority to engage with the

344
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:11.200
<v Speaker 2>student body. And I don't mean just like, hey, talk

345
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.480
<v Speaker 2>to the student section, because Chris Mack really tried to

346
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:15.039
<v Speaker 2>do that, and I think he did a good job

347
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:16.919
<v Speaker 2>of getting the student section going whenever he was here

348
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:19.720
<v Speaker 2>early on. And then you know, obviously things happen and

349
00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:21.960
<v Speaker 2>they weren't even allowed to come to games and is

350
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:23.919
<v Speaker 2>you know, in one of his last years here. So

351
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:28.799
<v Speaker 2>but but Chris's personality wise is nothing like Pat Kelsey nothing.

352
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:31.279
<v Speaker 1>And look, you can be good in both ways.

353
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying that like Chris is a bad guy,

354
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:35.679
<v Speaker 2>but like the personality is totally different. And he told

355
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:38.240
<v Speaker 2>me that before you know, he became official, that Pat

356
00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:39.960
<v Speaker 2>was going to be the guy like you know, he's energy,

357
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:42.000
<v Speaker 2>and I mean at every turn people have mentioned that.

358
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:44.799
<v Speaker 2>So I think the fans aren't just going to be like, oh,

359
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:47.519
<v Speaker 2>it's cool that the coach is like, you know, he

360
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:51.639
<v Speaker 2>said the students are great and we should come, like

361
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:53.559
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't just a canned statement, It wasn't some pre

362
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:55.600
<v Speaker 2>recorded video. Like I think Pat will be able to

363
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:59.039
<v Speaker 2>connect with them differently than anybody has and that can

364
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:00.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean, first of all, it can only help, but

365
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:02.120
<v Speaker 2>I think it can go a long way, like We've

366
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:05.599
<v Speaker 2>always lacked, you know, a real big student presence. For

367
00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:07.039
<v Speaker 2>the most part, we haven't really needed it. But as

368
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:09.039
<v Speaker 2>you're trying to get things built back up to where

369
00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:13.319
<v Speaker 2>you have big crowds on hand every every game, certainly

370
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:15.279
<v Speaker 2>bigger crowds for the bigger games, but if you want,

371
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:17.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, like, students are the ones. If they're into it, man,

372
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:21.519
<v Speaker 2>and they're engaged, they'll show up on a Monday against Morehead.

373
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Stay what else they got to do?

374
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:22.680
<v Speaker 6>Right?

375
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:26.480
<v Speaker 1>They're they're here away at school. So I don't know.

376
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:29.359
<v Speaker 7>I got another interesting observation, and maybe this will make

377
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:31.599
<v Speaker 7>me sound stupid, but one thing I've noticed with Pat

378
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:35.799
<v Speaker 7>Kelsey is he the only person who constantly refers to

379
00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:38.079
<v Speaker 7>the young center as the young, because I feel like

380
00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:39.359
<v Speaker 7>I've never heard people say that.

381
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:44.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, people have certainly said it, like I don't. I

382
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:46.279
<v Speaker 2>don't refer to it as the young, but I've heard

383
00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:48.359
<v Speaker 2>other people do it. But yes, to your point, he

384
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:51.359
<v Speaker 2>is clearly trying to like make that yeah, yeah, yeah,

385
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:55.319
<v Speaker 2>the young, And you know, I'm trying to think, like

386
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:58.920
<v Speaker 2>I know it's been said, but when I say the young,

387
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:00.920
<v Speaker 2>I think, I you know, you listen to me. Unfortunately,

388
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:02.680
<v Speaker 2>you have to every day because you know, you're my producer.

389
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:05.960
<v Speaker 2>But when I say the um siner, I don't say

390
00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:07.680
<v Speaker 2>the yum do I No, I've never I think I

391
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:09.160
<v Speaker 2>just say I think I just say the YOUM center.

392
00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:11.319
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's where most people usually look.

393
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:14.279
<v Speaker 2>He's trying to, you know, look, if it leads to

394
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:17.319
<v Speaker 2>there being more of an incentive and more of a

395
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:20.119
<v Speaker 2>field to like, hey, we're going it's gonna be awesome

396
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:22.839
<v Speaker 2>the atmosphere of the place them, then I'll embrace it.

397
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:25.759
<v Speaker 2>I'll get it tattooed on my face. I mean probably not,

398
00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:28.000
<v Speaker 2>but like, let's if it works, let's let's keep it rolling.

399
00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:31.880
<v Speaker 2>So I'm i'm, i'm, I'm I'm fired up for Saturday, man,

400
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:34.960
<v Speaker 2>And I'm I'm not just saying it because I feel like,

401
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:37.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, you guys would want me to say it.

402
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:38.720
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I don't think you would care what I

403
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:40.440
<v Speaker 2>say as far as what I think is gonna happen,

404
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:43.640
<v Speaker 2>because again, I'm often wrong, We're all often, we're all

405
00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:46.880
<v Speaker 2>wrong pretty often. But I think they're gonna win and

406
00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:51.079
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be awesome. Figures crossed that that's what actually happens.

407
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:53.680
<v Speaker 2>But regardless, we'll react to it on the post game show,

408
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:55.119
<v Speaker 2>So make sure you know if you're there and you

409
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:57.240
<v Speaker 2>get in your car when you leave, turn us on.

410
00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.480
<v Speaker 2>If you're not there and you're watching at home, papasan

411
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:01.880
<v Speaker 2>as soon as it ends, and we'll react to it.

412
00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:03.519
<v Speaker 2>All right, quick break, we'll come back on the other side.

413
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:05.240
<v Speaker 2>A few things I want to make sure we get

414
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:08.480
<v Speaker 2>to before we run out of time. John Caliperry. He

415
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:11.519
<v Speaker 2>had his debut last night at Arkansas and they won

416
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:15.240
<v Speaker 2>by like fourteen fifteen. But I kind of thought cal

417
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.240
<v Speaker 2>would be re energized and really just you know, a

418
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:21.960
<v Speaker 2>new man kind of reincarnated down there in Fayetteville, and

419
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:25.559
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I was way off because maybe it's

420
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:27.880
<v Speaker 2>just one game. But he sounds like a lunatic in

421
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:30.119
<v Speaker 2>his postgame press conference, like a guy that's just like

422
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:34.880
<v Speaker 2>not really there. We'll let you hear it and we'll

423
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:36.599
<v Speaker 2>get back to the phone calls and the text lines.

424
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:40.200
<v Speaker 2>So stick around right here on Sports Talk seven ninety

425
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:44.319
<v Speaker 2>once again, another day where the company man has really

426
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.759
<v Speaker 2>outdone himself when it comes to his music selection. Well done, John,

427
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:51.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean I take that for granted because I'm sure

428
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:54.480
<v Speaker 2>that's I mean, we need everybody listening. However, they're listening whenever.

429
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:56.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we appreciate you regardless of how you consume

430
00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:59.960
<v Speaker 2>coffee and company. But obviously live listeners are the best.

431
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's what we mean. That's how we're evaluated.

432
00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:08.200
<v Speaker 2>And because you only get the DJ Company Man mix,

433
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:10.920
<v Speaker 2>if you're listening live, like that's got to be boosting

434
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:13.440
<v Speaker 2>the live listens. So that's why they pay you the

435
00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:13.880
<v Speaker 2>big bucks.

436
00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:16.759
<v Speaker 1>Brother. It is well done, Little Brooks and done good stuff.

437
00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:18.480
<v Speaker 1>April twenty six of the Youum Center, by the way

438
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:19.000
<v Speaker 1>at them.

439
00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:22.799
<v Speaker 2>I bet Pat Kelsey will be there. He might be,

440
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:25.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure what his music. I did ask him that.

441
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:28.680
<v Speaker 2>I asked him that question when he was on the

442
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:31.759
<v Speaker 2>show the first time, and it was now that i'm reflecting,

443
00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:36.519
<v Speaker 2>it was kind of a corny question, but I think

444
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:39.519
<v Speaker 2>it was with us having so many music festivals, because

445
00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:41.680
<v Speaker 2>I think one of the things you think of when

446
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:43.400
<v Speaker 2>you think of Louisville, if you're not from here, obviously

447
00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:44.039
<v Speaker 2>think of the Derby.

448
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:45.519
<v Speaker 1>You think of, you.

449
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Know, basketball, Louisville Slugger, that kind of stuff probably KFC.

450
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:53.279
<v Speaker 2>But if you are into music festivals, I would imagine

451
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:55.000
<v Speaker 2>by now you know that we do we do pretty

452
00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:56.400
<v Speaker 2>well when it comes to that kind of stuff. So

453
00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:59.000
<v Speaker 2>I asked him, if you were putting together your own stage,

454
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:01.559
<v Speaker 2>the Pat Kelsey stage one of these music festivals, you

455
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:05.759
<v Speaker 2>could get anybody, anybody you want, which for musicians or

456
00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:07.319
<v Speaker 2>artists would you would you choose?

457
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:10.640
<v Speaker 1>And he chose. I think he said Springsteen.

458
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:16.160
<v Speaker 2>I think he said, I know he said Zach Bryan,

459
00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:18.279
<v Speaker 2>but I'm blanket on who else it was.

460
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:20.079
<v Speaker 7>You think he was there at Bourbon and beyond, you know,

461
00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:21.200
<v Speaker 7>in the VIP section.

462
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:24.759
<v Speaker 2>He was probably watching film or recruiting or something of that.

463
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Although I did hear that he uh, he was supposed

464
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:30.720
<v Speaker 2>to go to Well, he was potentially going to go

465
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:32.920
<v Speaker 2>to Clemson with Josh Hurt. Apparently they ended up having

466
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:37.039
<v Speaker 2>room in in the charter and he decided to stick

467
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:38.799
<v Speaker 2>back because you know, they had their opener just a

468
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:42.960
<v Speaker 2>couple of days away. But he later made he called

469
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:45.039
<v Speaker 2>an audible and he actually went up to I believe

470
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:47.119
<v Speaker 2>it was Indy took his daughter to see Taylor Swift

471
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:50.119
<v Speaker 2>on look at that on Saturday. So I'm not sure

472
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:52.519
<v Speaker 2>if that if Taylor Swift would be in his his

473
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:56.039
<v Speaker 2>uh his on his stage in his music festival. But

474
00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:00.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, a good dad daughter moment. I'm sure I

475
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:03.599
<v Speaker 2>had some friends that took their kids to of their

476
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:07.960
<v Speaker 2>daughters to the Taylor Swift concert and Indie and apparently,

477
00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:10.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean again, I'm sure it's not easy to get tickets,

478
00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:16.839
<v Speaker 2>but I'm surprised when people I know go, like Pat Kelsey,

479
00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:19.000
<v Speaker 2>not as surprised he'd be somebody that could get access.

480
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:19.640
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know.

481
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:21.440
<v Speaker 2>I just feel like she's such a big artist right

482
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:24.519
<v Speaker 2>now that like any ticket going on sale, you're looking

483
00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:26.759
<v Speaker 2>at paying like seven hundred and fifty bucks or something,

484
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:27.880
<v Speaker 2>which sounds crazy.

485
00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:30.359
<v Speaker 1>It is crazy, but like that's that's.

486
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:32.119
<v Speaker 2>What the tickets go for for her concerts a lot

487
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:32.960
<v Speaker 2>of times something like that.

488
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:35.640
<v Speaker 1>And this tour that she's been on is almost over.

489
00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:37.160
<v Speaker 1>It's been going on for us. As I say, it

490
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:39.200
<v Speaker 1>seems never ending. Yes, it's crazy.

491
00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:44.799
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, John Calla Perry last night debuted at Arkansas

492
00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:48.039
<v Speaker 2>in front of nineteen thousand fans. They won and were

493
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:50.880
<v Speaker 2>never really in trouble, But I don't I didn't get

494
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:53.440
<v Speaker 2>the sense that it looked like they played all that well.

495
00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:56.559
<v Speaker 2>Seventy six to seven or seventy six to sixty was

496
00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:58.799
<v Speaker 2>the score. They won the first half by nine, second half,

497
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:02.599
<v Speaker 2>I guess by Actually they're one of the first half

498
00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:05.039
<v Speaker 2>by eleven, second half by by six, so I don't

499
00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:06.480
<v Speaker 2>know if they covered, but either way it's not. It

500
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:07.880
<v Speaker 2>doesn't look like it was a game where they were

501
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:12.279
<v Speaker 2>really you know, it was in doubt. But Cal Perry

502
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:16.519
<v Speaker 2>afterwards he had his press conference and look, Cal for

503
00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:18.759
<v Speaker 2>a long time has been a coach that just and

504
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:20.599
<v Speaker 2>it's one of the things that I think drove Kentucky

505
00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:22.400
<v Speaker 2>fans so crazy after a while. He can do it,

506
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:24.920
<v Speaker 2>he can you know, Cal can be cal and say

507
00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:28.599
<v Speaker 2>the things that he has said during his time in Lexington,

508
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:30.240
<v Speaker 2>and fans will just eat it up if he's winning

509
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:31.599
<v Speaker 2>at a high level. But when you're not winning at

510
00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:36.119
<v Speaker 2>a high level, they become stale pretty quickly. And it

511
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:39.119
<v Speaker 2>became to it started to really fascinate me towards the end.

512
00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Like he would I mean, he would just talk about

513
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:43.640
<v Speaker 2>not being able to like I haven't haven't seen my player.

514
00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:45.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I haven't talked to him, Like when

515
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:46.920
<v Speaker 2>he was asked about an update on a player, like

516
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:50.799
<v Speaker 2>he he's just kind of, you know, kind of lost

517
00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:51.559
<v Speaker 2>his mind a little bit.

518
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:54.359
<v Speaker 1>Uh. But I've looked at that more as.

519
00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Him being stubborn, and really, I mean, at times he

520
00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:03.319
<v Speaker 2>used the line of doing a radio interview whenever everybody

521
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:05.880
<v Speaker 2>wanted to hear from after a bad loss, or showing

522
00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:08.279
<v Speaker 2>up to press conferences and just saying whatever he wanted,

523
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:12.240
<v Speaker 2>an act acting like he didn't really care about the loss.

524
00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:12.880
<v Speaker 1>He did.

525
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:14.960
<v Speaker 2>That I think is arrogance, Like I thought, I think

526
00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:17.839
<v Speaker 2>at times he wanted people to know like, yeah, whatever,

527
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:20.759
<v Speaker 2>like I'm the coach and I don't care that you

528
00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:22.160
<v Speaker 2>want me to play this guy or you want me

529
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:25.400
<v Speaker 2>to play more modern basketball like. It was clearly a stubborn,

530
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:27.440
<v Speaker 2>arrogant kind of thing for him on the way out there,

531
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:29.039
<v Speaker 2>and I thought there was a chance and he might

532
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:32.720
<v Speaker 2>look Maybe this is just a bad observation on my end,

533
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:34.839
<v Speaker 2>but I thought the scenario where he would go to

534
00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:37.599
<v Speaker 2>Arkansas and be really successful is he'd have to get

535
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:42.039
<v Speaker 2>re energized. He'd have to be motivated to win at

536
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:45.359
<v Speaker 2>a high level. And again, I guess what his motivation is,

537
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:48.279
<v Speaker 2>what gives him that motivation, It doesn't really matter. But

538
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:49.880
<v Speaker 2>I would have thought that the best chance would be

539
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:51.640
<v Speaker 2>that he just wants to show first of all, he

540
00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:53.640
<v Speaker 2>wants to go on another deep tournament run without losing

541
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:56.680
<v Speaker 2>the teams like Oakland and Saint Peter's, but also Spike,

542
00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:59.200
<v Speaker 2>he wants to win in spite of Kentucky. He maybe

543
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:03.160
<v Speaker 2>it isn't crazy to think that the driving force for

544
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:06.200
<v Speaker 2>him now is that he wants to win, not only

545
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:08.119
<v Speaker 2>because he's a competitor and he wants to win, but

546
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:10.680
<v Speaker 2>he wants to show Kentucky fans that they should have

547
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:15.799
<v Speaker 2>appreciated him and you know, begged him to stay instead

548
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:17.640
<v Speaker 2>of you know, letting him walk and being happy that

549
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:22.079
<v Speaker 2>he did. But the guy that I'm hearing at SEC

550
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:24.880
<v Speaker 2>basketball media days, the interviews that he's done, and this

551
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:27.240
<v Speaker 2>press conference last night, like I just think he's kind

552
00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:31.000
<v Speaker 2>of I think he's just goofing off. I mean, I

553
00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:34.119
<v Speaker 2>hate to say that, but like this is a montage

554
00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:37.160
<v Speaker 2>somebody put together, and this is you know, context is

555
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:39.160
<v Speaker 2>not going to be there, because this is just a

556
00:25:39.279 --> 00:25:42.799
<v Speaker 2>mix of just random things he blurted out at his

557
00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:46.599
<v Speaker 2>press conference last night that I'm sure Kentucky fans wouldn't

558
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:48.519
<v Speaker 2>be surprised by because you know, they've heard it for

559
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:51.680
<v Speaker 2>a long time. But Arkansas fans heard their first Calipari

560
00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:54.759
<v Speaker 2>postgame press conference last night, and you know they thought

561
00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:56.680
<v Speaker 2>it was funny enough to create all these mixes of

562
00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:59.839
<v Speaker 2>his different random things. He said, because you know it's not.

563
00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:00.960
<v Speaker 1>What you get Cal.

564
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:03.720
<v Speaker 2>And when Rick was here and even Rick still like

565
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:05.599
<v Speaker 2>those guys can get away with things. And I don't

566
00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:08.160
<v Speaker 2>mean like criminal acts, but just like they can say

567
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:11.039
<v Speaker 2>things that we all know is nonsense, not true. They

568
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:14.480
<v Speaker 2>can just blatantly lie and everybody knows it. But it's

569
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:16.960
<v Speaker 2>just all that's Cal being Cal, that's that's Rick being Rick.

570
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:20.960
<v Speaker 2>But here's one minute of John Calli Perry's best moments

571
00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:24.279
<v Speaker 2>from his press conference. According to Corey Stewart, who covers

572
00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:26.839
<v Speaker 2>Arkansas basketball, how about.

573
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:32.160
<v Speaker 6>This thought make a three? It takes me on every

574
00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:35.599
<v Speaker 6>time we make a mistake. No, I don't. CBS is

575
00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:43.559
<v Speaker 6>covering the gamey threes. But because a guy wants, I'm

576
00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:48.680
<v Speaker 6>gonna start this, uh give it to Jimmy, he has

577
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:49.240
<v Speaker 6>to come back.

578
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:49.960
<v Speaker 1>No he doesn't.

579
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:53.799
<v Speaker 6>I have not watched that game too late. I was

580
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:54.279
<v Speaker 6>in bed.

581
00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:59.400
<v Speaker 1>What why would you do that? And as you get

582
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:01.640
<v Speaker 1>older it really.

583
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:12.400
<v Speaker 6>So they called a time out so you have no

584
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:13.880
<v Speaker 6>questions now that.

585
00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:19.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm just waiting for he stopped talking. What gold block

586
00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:20.039
<v Speaker 1>that Ball.

587
00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:25.480
<v Speaker 6>How about that statement, I mean.

588
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:29.200
<v Speaker 2>The visual I mean again, and just for those that

589
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:32.559
<v Speaker 2>just turned on the show and you heard just random

590
00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:35.400
<v Speaker 2>things Cali Perre's yelling again, those are just that's just

591
00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:37.599
<v Speaker 2>there's no context to what he's saying. Those are just

592
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:40.839
<v Speaker 2>all individual things that he just said. That again, sound

593
00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:43.640
<v Speaker 2>pretty normal because I'm used to hearing Cali Perry around here.

594
00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:46.279
<v Speaker 2>But for Arkansas, especially those in the media, that might

595
00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:49.279
<v Speaker 2>have been an experience they weren't really expecting. So maybe

596
00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:51.799
<v Speaker 2>it's it's just him being him. But him being him

597
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:55.160
<v Speaker 2>hadn't worked. Man, he still plays the same way like

598
00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:57.400
<v Speaker 2>he had. You know, he still wanted to play old

599
00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:59.680
<v Speaker 2>school bigs. He doesn't want to space it out.

600
00:27:59.720 --> 00:27:59.880
<v Speaker 1>He does.

601
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:04.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean the fact that he didn't play Dillingham, Shepard

602
00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:08.880
<v Speaker 2>and Reeves last year together. I mean that stupidity, stubbornness,

603
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:11.920
<v Speaker 2>and I mean malpractice. If you're a Kentucky fan, I'm

604
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:14.680
<v Speaker 2>sure is what you're thinking. But I mean, I think

605
00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:17.839
<v Speaker 2>he's going to do the same things he's always done

606
00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:19.920
<v Speaker 2>and expect it to be different, and it won't be.

607
00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:22.880
<v Speaker 2>He won't be terrible at Arkansas, but I just get

608
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:25.440
<v Speaker 2>a feeling that he'll be fine. There, but he won't

609
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:27.839
<v Speaker 2>be as energized because as much as it pains me

610
00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:29.319
<v Speaker 2>to say it, you know it's the truth.

611
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:30.960
<v Speaker 1>So it is what it is.

612
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Like Kentucky's the best job in college basketball, and he

613
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:38.680
<v Speaker 2>had that, didn't really appreciate it, didn't really realize, Hey,

614
00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:42.400
<v Speaker 2>I should make adjustments. I should adapt to the game changing.

615
00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:44.880
<v Speaker 2>I should evolve because I have the best job in

616
00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:47.599
<v Speaker 2>the country, a job that nobody else would would would

617
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:51.640
<v Speaker 2>pay me this much money to do. And instead of like,

618
00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:56.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, buckling down, getting creative again, maybe reinventing yourself

619
00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:58.759
<v Speaker 2>a little bit like Nick Saban did in football, Like

620
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:00.799
<v Speaker 2>he didn't do that. And I don't know if he'll

621
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:03.000
<v Speaker 2>ever regret it, because he doesn't seem like somebody who

622
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:06.400
<v Speaker 2>would ever regret or think he was wrong. He's very stubborn.

623
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:11.559
<v Speaker 2>But I'd say there's a better chance that he ends

624
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:16.079
<v Speaker 2>up kind of just being above average there, and that's

625
00:29:16.119 --> 00:29:19.039
<v Speaker 2>the ceiling, the scenario where they're like really bad. I

626
00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:21.960
<v Speaker 2>doubt it because that would be uncharacteristic of him as

627
00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:23.480
<v Speaker 2>a coach. And he's still going to bring in talent,

628
00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:25.519
<v Speaker 2>Like he's still going to have good players, but I

629
00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:29.079
<v Speaker 2>think they'll continue to have head scratching losses at times

630
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:31.960
<v Speaker 2>because they're mostly built on youth. And I also think

631
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:35.680
<v Speaker 2>that you know, they'll be easy to pick off in

632
00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:37.200
<v Speaker 2>the tournament, depending on the matchup.

633
00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:39.960
<v Speaker 7>I hope there's more of this, by the way, more

634
00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:42.359
<v Speaker 7>of his weird sound bites throughout the season.

635
00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Who do you think has a better chance of making

636
00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:47.519
<v Speaker 2>a Final four in the next five years? John Caliperry

637
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:50.680
<v Speaker 2>misses at Arkansas or Rick Patino at Saint John's.

638
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:54.640
<v Speaker 7>Oh, that's a really I'm gonna say cali Perry just

639
00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:57.759
<v Speaker 7>because he probably has a lot better resources. And yeah,

640
00:29:57.880 --> 00:29:59.799
<v Speaker 7>I don't think, I mean not that Rick Patino can't,

641
00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:00.839
<v Speaker 7>but it wouldn't surprise.

642
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:03.200
<v Speaker 1>It'd be less surprising to say that.

643
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:05.519
<v Speaker 2>I would agree, But I would say, you know, if

644
00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:08.359
<v Speaker 2>I had to guess, do either of them or one

645
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:12.640
<v Speaker 2>of them, like, I would say, it's more unlikely that

646
00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:16.680
<v Speaker 2>either of them make a final for than they do

647
00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:18.880
<v Speaker 2>make a final for in their time there, however long

648
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:19.200
<v Speaker 2>that is.

649
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:22.240
<v Speaker 7>Here's another question, who you think retires first.

650
00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:27.799
<v Speaker 2>Cal Rick is older, and Rick does seem to enjoy

651
00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:30.359
<v Speaker 2>other things in life that he didn't used to seem

652
00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:32.440
<v Speaker 2>to enjoy, Like you know, he's still very much, you know,

653
00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:34.440
<v Speaker 2>a coach, and I don't think he ever wants to

654
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:36.279
<v Speaker 2>just stop doing it, but there may be a point

655
00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:40.640
<v Speaker 2>where Rick, like I could see Rick now It's well

656
00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:43.319
<v Speaker 2>maybe not now, but like I could now see a

657
00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:46.000
<v Speaker 2>side of Rick that makes me believe he would leave

658
00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:49.240
<v Speaker 2>coaching to do broadcasting because he would still be involved

659
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:52.039
<v Speaker 2>in basketball, if that makes sense. And you know, he's

660
00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:53.799
<v Speaker 2>very much a me guy. So him just kind of

661
00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:57.279
<v Speaker 2>fading into retirement. I don't ever see happening, but part

662
00:30:57.279 --> 00:30:59.640
<v Speaker 2>of me says he'll he'll either coach until he's simply

663
00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:02.599
<v Speaker 2>physics can anymore, or he won't. He won't be having

664
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:04.839
<v Speaker 2>fun because he's not winning, and then he just decides

665
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:07.640
<v Speaker 2>to become an announcer broadcaster and anybody would hire him,

666
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:08.559
<v Speaker 2>and I think he'd be good at it, to be

667
00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:10.720
<v Speaker 2>honest with you, I mean, clearly, the man's got away

668
00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:12.960
<v Speaker 2>with words. We've all learned that over the years aroundhim.

669
00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:16.200
<v Speaker 7>I want to Patino, Tom Crean, Playboy play and you

670
00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:19.640
<v Speaker 7>know whatever the color commentary. That probably be really insane,

671
00:31:20.599 --> 00:31:22.440
<v Speaker 7>but uh, it'd be fun to listen to for at

672
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:23.240
<v Speaker 7>least a few minutes.

673
00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:27.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I think rarely the coaches go into

674
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:31.119
<v Speaker 2>the go straight to broadcasting and and you know, seemed

675
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:33.119
<v Speaker 2>Tom Crean is great at it. I don't know why

676
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:35.440
<v Speaker 2>he's not like on the A list for ESPN. Maybe

677
00:31:35.559 --> 00:31:37.880
<v Speaker 2>he's still keeping his options open and wants to make

678
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:39.480
<v Speaker 2>it clear that he will come back and coach if

679
00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:41.000
<v Speaker 2>he was presented a good job.

680
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:42.000
<v Speaker 1>But Krean's great at it.

681
00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Rick would be good as far as the analysis, But

682
00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:47.279
<v Speaker 2>Rick's somebody like like if put it this way, Saban

683
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:50.200
<v Speaker 2>is great when it comes to analysis and talking football

684
00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:53.319
<v Speaker 2>on game day. I think he would need to ramp

685
00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:55.680
<v Speaker 2>up the energy level to be on a broadcast. And

686
00:31:55.720 --> 00:31:57.079
<v Speaker 2>I think you could say the same thing about Rick.

687
00:31:57.200 --> 00:31:59.119
<v Speaker 2>So that makes sense, like you don't need to be animated,

688
00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:03.759
<v Speaker 2>but like you know, you're you're not just just saying

689
00:32:03.880 --> 00:32:04.720
<v Speaker 2>what you're seeing.

690
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:08.319
<v Speaker 1>And and like Bob Knight on, you're like you are,

691
00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:08.960
<v Speaker 1>you're you.

692
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Are, You're delivering like there's Again, that's one of those

693
00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:14.319
<v Speaker 2>things that a lot of people don't realize. It's not

694
00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:16.599
<v Speaker 2>difficult to talk like that. I mean, it's not like,

695
00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:21.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, the the people who think they could just

696
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:23.200
<v Speaker 2>come in and host a three hour show and it

697
00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:26.279
<v Speaker 2>would be cake. Some of them may be right, but

698
00:32:26.599 --> 00:32:30.240
<v Speaker 2>it's really about like delivery, how you say things. I mean,

699
00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:35.759
<v Speaker 2>stretching segments out and whatnot. So again delivery. And look,

700
00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:37.680
<v Speaker 2>they could be coached up on it. I mean maybe

701
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:38.000
<v Speaker 2>they could.

702
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:38.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

703
00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:41.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how coachable coaches are. But like Sabin,

704
00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:43.160
<v Speaker 2>eventually I want to hear him on on a game,

705
00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:44.720
<v Speaker 2>like in a game, because I think he point out

706
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:46.759
<v Speaker 2>things that none of us would know. But one he

707
00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:48.880
<v Speaker 2>probably doesn't want to do that, but again, you got,

708
00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:51.039
<v Speaker 2>you gotta you got. For example, Lou Riddick, he went

709
00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:53.759
<v Speaker 2>from being just an analyst and he's always been great

710
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:55.920
<v Speaker 2>at it, and then he went to being a color guy.

711
00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:59.640
<v Speaker 2>And initially he was providing good analysis, but the broadcast

712
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:02.279
<v Speaker 2>sounded flat because he wasn't used to that. That wasn't

713
00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Typically he would join a show for a segment, not

714
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:08.599
<v Speaker 2>do a game, but this in the last couple of games, specifically,

715
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:10.960
<v Speaker 2>like I think le Ritick's killing it as an announcer.

716
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:13.720
<v Speaker 2>So it takes a little time, but yeah, it could

717
00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:14.119
<v Speaker 2>be good at it.

718
00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Jay Williams games here, he too long. He did a

719
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:17.759
<v Speaker 1>game the other night, did he now?

720
00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:21.079
<v Speaker 2>Jay Williams was on the Gonzaga and they put him

721
00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:23.920
<v Speaker 2>on that Baylor game. Wow, yeah, huge game. Well it's

722
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:26.880
<v Speaker 2>football season, so you know it's a big game for

723
00:33:26.920 --> 00:33:29.440
<v Speaker 2>those who love college hoops. But you know, ESPN's not

724
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:33.039
<v Speaker 2>necessarily prioritizing the product just yet. But yeah, he's he's

725
00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:34.960
<v Speaker 2>he's not the best. Did you see the score of

726
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:35.359
<v Speaker 2>that game.

727
00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:37.599
<v Speaker 1>I know Baylor got spanked.

728
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I think Baylor is still going to

729
00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:42.400
<v Speaker 2>be really good this year, but man, to see the

730
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:47.559
<v Speaker 2>way they lost one oh one to sixty three unbelievable.

731
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:51.400
<v Speaker 2>And I look Baylor, I said before the season started,

732
00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:54.319
<v Speaker 2>I actually think that they're underrated despite being ranked number

733
00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:55.960
<v Speaker 2>eight before they got killed. And maybe I end up

734
00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:57.680
<v Speaker 2>being way wrong. But when it comes to talent, I mean,

735
00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Mark Few, he's got some real good players that team.

736
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:02.759
<v Speaker 2>All right, quick break, we'll come back on the other side.

737
00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:04.480
<v Speaker 2>We haven't let you hear it yet. But there is

738
00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:08.559
<v Speaker 2>a scenario that I can't think of his name, Chris,

739
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:11.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe Chris. I'll get his name Corret because I want

740
00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:13.079
<v Speaker 2>to give him proper credit. He put out something a

741
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:16.079
<v Speaker 2>scenario that is not likely, but it also isn't that

742
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:19.039
<v Speaker 2>crazy to where a Big twelve team could miss the playoff.

743
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:21.800
<v Speaker 2>We'll let him explain it, because again, he did a

744
00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:23.719
<v Speaker 2>pretty good job at it. That's on the other side.

745
00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:25.480
<v Speaker 2>As we wrap this thing up, don't go anywhere. It's

746
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:27.440
<v Speaker 2>coffee and company. Feiel about Thorton's on Sports Talk seven

747
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:33.119
<v Speaker 2>ninety all right, Dennis Texan and says Nick, what would

748
00:34:33.119 --> 00:34:37.199
<v Speaker 2>it say about Kenny Payne if in the second week

749
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:40.039
<v Speaker 2>of the season in his first year, Pat Kelsey has

750
00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:42.400
<v Speaker 2>Louisville ranked in the top twenty five with a top

751
00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:48.079
<v Speaker 2>twelve win. I mean, I would assume if a top

752
00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:51.559
<v Speaker 2>twelve team loses that whoever beat them, if they were,

753
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:54.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, sniffing the rankings, they would probably climb into

754
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:55.880
<v Speaker 2>the top twenty five. I mean, it's so silly, and

755
00:34:57.280 --> 00:34:59.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's tough to know how good anybody is

756
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:02.599
<v Speaker 2>this early in the year, especially in this new world

757
00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:06.000
<v Speaker 2>of the portal. But hell, if they ended up being

758
00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:09.960
<v Speaker 2>ranked after beating Tennessee, I mean I'd be talking about it.

759
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:12.199
<v Speaker 2>I would be happy about it. I mean, it would

760
00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:14.800
<v Speaker 2>be a good early sign, no doubt. But yes, it

761
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:16.480
<v Speaker 2>would say a lot about Kenny. But it would also

762
00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:21.199
<v Speaker 2>say more I think about the ability you have to

763
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:24.400
<v Speaker 2>quickly turn something around in the new world with the

764
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:28.400
<v Speaker 2>portal and nil, and yeah, I think, I mean, they

765
00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:32.079
<v Speaker 2>got some votes preseason, but not a lot. So a

766
00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:34.480
<v Speaker 2>win against the number twelve team I think would probably

767
00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:38.119
<v Speaker 2>will probably jump the jump them up there. But we'll

768
00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:40.199
<v Speaker 2>find out if they win, and again I think they

769
00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:45.440
<v Speaker 2>will all right, real quick, this is a clip from

770
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:47.960
<v Speaker 2>one of the college football podcasts that I listened to,

771
00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:49.280
<v Speaker 2>and I get a couple of them mixed up. But

772
00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:52.400
<v Speaker 2>this is Chris Asel who or Hassle, I'm sorry. He

773
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:55.480
<v Speaker 2>works for CBS Sports, and he laid out a scenario that, again,

774
00:35:55.559 --> 00:35:58.159
<v Speaker 2>it is unlikely, but I don't think it's like troll

775
00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:02.880
<v Speaker 2>clickbait either, because it's not an insane scenario. I mean,

776
00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:06.320
<v Speaker 2>maybe some people view it as insane, but he threw

777
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:08.480
<v Speaker 2>out a situation that could lead to the Big Twelve

778
00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:11.159
<v Speaker 2>getting left out of the College Football Playoff altogether. Again

779
00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:14.159
<v Speaker 2>a long shot, but here's what would need to happen

780
00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:15.400
<v Speaker 2>for that scenario to play out.

781
00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:18.360
<v Speaker 8>Here's another possibility that I don't think anyone's thought about,

782
00:36:18.440 --> 00:36:21.880
<v Speaker 8>and this is a very very unlikely scenario, but there

783
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:26.239
<v Speaker 8>is a scenario where the Big Twelve champion doesn't even

784
00:36:26.280 --> 00:36:30.159
<v Speaker 8>make the College Football Playoff. Here it is Army is

785
00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:32.880
<v Speaker 8>eight to zero, They have Notre Dame on their schedule,

786
00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:35.719
<v Speaker 8>they have Navy on their schedule, and then an American

787
00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:38.800
<v Speaker 8>Conference championship game. If they win every game and they're

788
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:42.559
<v Speaker 8>perfect with a win over Notre Dame on their resume,

789
00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:48.119
<v Speaker 8>Army might be a higher ranked American Conference champion than

790
00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:52.800
<v Speaker 8>Iowa State and Boise could be a higher ranked Mountain

791
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:55.519
<v Speaker 8>West champion than Iowa State. Only the five highest ranked

792
00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:58.440
<v Speaker 8>conference champs are guaranteed a playoff spot, So if you're

793
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:01.159
<v Speaker 8>an Iowa State fan, you should root against Army.

794
00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:02.480
<v Speaker 3>Army.

795
00:37:02.679 --> 00:37:04.440
<v Speaker 8>Look, if Army goes thirteen to zero with a win

796
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:06.719
<v Speaker 8>over Notre Dame, they are going to be in the playoff.

797
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:07.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

798
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:11.760
<v Speaker 2>So BYU is the Big twelve team that right now

799
00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:14.000
<v Speaker 2>clearly is in the driver's seat of that league. So

800
00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:16.760
<v Speaker 2>that wasn't mentioned in that specific clip, but it does

801
00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:18.800
<v Speaker 2>later come up because obviously they would need to lose.

802
00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:22.079
<v Speaker 2>But I think BYU, I mean again, they're in a

803
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:24.519
<v Speaker 2>pretty good spot right now, but I think the committee

804
00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:27.639
<v Speaker 2>basically said with where they're ranked, if they lose there,

805
00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:31.400
<v Speaker 2>they're dropping pretty far because they don't have any opportunities

806
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:33.760
<v Speaker 2>left to get big wins, and any loss that they

807
00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:36.159
<v Speaker 2>could get wouldn't be looked at as like a quality loss.

808
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:39.480
<v Speaker 2>So again it's unlikely, but I kind of want the chaos.

809
00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:43.920
<v Speaker 2>And I mean, how if it comes down to a

810
00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:49.239
<v Speaker 2>scenario where you're really having to choose between two teams,

811
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:52.280
<v Speaker 2>maybe three, and one of them is an undefeated army,

812
00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:56.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, the United States military, Like they're not leaving

813
00:37:56.320 --> 00:37:58.039
<v Speaker 2>them out, not at all. And you know what, the

814
00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:00.639
<v Speaker 2>guy who was just voted president, he has any say

815
00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:02.320
<v Speaker 2>so at that time, I don't think you would given

816
00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:04.800
<v Speaker 2>the timeline, but like, you know, Trump would make a

817
00:38:04.840 --> 00:38:06.199
<v Speaker 2>deal about that, would he not?

818
00:38:06.360 --> 00:38:10.239
<v Speaker 1>Either way? That would be a badass playoff participant in hell, yeah,

819
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:11.480
<v Speaker 1>that would be. It'd be awesome.

820
00:38:11.880 --> 00:38:15.639
<v Speaker 2>Nobod else is awesome sex and Blue Cheo can make

821
00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:19.719
<v Speaker 2>something that's already awesome even better. Blue Cheo is a

822
00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:24.199
<v Speaker 2>unique online service that delivers the same active ingredients as

823
00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:27.599
<v Speaker 2>products like viagran Cialis, but they give it to you

824
00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:31.039
<v Speaker 2>in a chewable tablet and it's a fraction of the cost.

825
00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:33.760
<v Speaker 2>They're made right here in the USA, ship directly to

826
00:38:33.800 --> 00:38:37.960
<v Speaker 2>your door. They not only are locally made here in

827
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:40.239
<v Speaker 2>the United States, but I mean this is a local

828
00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:41.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean not local to us. But I mean it's

829
00:38:41.880 --> 00:38:44.840
<v Speaker 2>American owned company and they've been helping fellas and ladies

830
00:38:44.840 --> 00:38:46.639
<v Speaker 2>for quite some time. And what I mean by that is, look,

831
00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:48.559
<v Speaker 2>if the fellas are taking the Blue Cheo and it's working,

832
00:38:48.639 --> 00:38:52.360
<v Speaker 2>it's enhancing the overall experience. I'd say that's a mutually

833
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:55.800
<v Speaker 2>beneficial thing for everybody. I mean, they now realize that

834
00:38:55.840 --> 00:38:59.480
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to marketing this product, that women know

835
00:38:59.559 --> 00:39:01.719
<v Speaker 2>about it because they know that their man's been taking

836
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:04.559
<v Speaker 2>it and they enjoy it. They see the benefit of

837
00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:08.920
<v Speaker 2>it as well. So again, Blue chewe keep them in mind.

838
00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:11.559
<v Speaker 2>In fact, scratch that, don't just keep in mind, take

839
00:39:11.599 --> 00:39:13.400
<v Speaker 2>advantage of what they're giving you. They're gonna give you

840
00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:16.440
<v Speaker 2>a month free of their product. That's how much they

841
00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:17.920
<v Speaker 2>believe in it. They know you're gonna benefit from it.

842
00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:19.360
<v Speaker 2>They know you're gonna like it and you're gonna come back,

843
00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:20.920
<v Speaker 2>so they're gonna give you a month of it free.
