00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.

3
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:17.280
<v Speaker 2>All right. The five o'clock hour here is gonna be

4
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:19.839
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a rapid fire because there's a

5
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:21.239
<v Speaker 2>lot of things I want to make sure we get

6
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:23.280
<v Speaker 2>to and I'm gonna try not to spend too much

7
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:25.000
<v Speaker 2>time on each of them. I can get a little

8
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:28.120
<v Speaker 2>long winded at times, you know, it happens. But we've

9
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:30.679
<v Speaker 2>had a couple of guests who I appreciate their contribution

10
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:34.079
<v Speaker 2>to the show. Doctor Ben's cup, good stuff, but you know,

11
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:37.200
<v Speaker 2>they cut into the time, and I wouldn't have it

12
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:40.320
<v Speaker 2>any other way. But today's a busy day here for

13
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:42.920
<v Speaker 2>the show, so I guess we'll just dive right in

14
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.520
<v Speaker 2>here when it comes to the biggest story in college

15
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:49.640
<v Speaker 2>football right now, and it's continuing to get worse for UNLV.

16
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:54.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, perception is reality, and maybe there's some fibbing

17
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:57.640
<v Speaker 2>going on, maybe there's some half truth to the situation

18
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:01.719
<v Speaker 2>with the nil not being what these players were told,

19
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:05.359
<v Speaker 2>but I'm sure the public opinion is going to be

20
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:09.079
<v Speaker 2>UNLV recruited players talk big money and they don't have

21
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:13.680
<v Speaker 2>it now and they've got guys leaving their team because

22
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 2>they now can not have wasted a year of eligibility

23
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.000
<v Speaker 2>if they just stop after playing three games. UNLV, by

24
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.599
<v Speaker 2>the way, is a top thirty team if you go

25
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:27.079
<v Speaker 2>off of the eight people in the receiving votes. I mean,

26
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:28.840
<v Speaker 2>they're not ranked, but they are in the top thirty,

27
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:31.879
<v Speaker 2>and they are one of the handful of teams that

28
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:37.200
<v Speaker 2>probably look at the G five spot that's going to

29
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:39.079
<v Speaker 2>get in the playoff and think that they could get it.

30
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:44.400
<v Speaker 2>So it started earlier when their quarterback, who is having

31
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:46.519
<v Speaker 2>a good year, he transferred from Holy Cross. His name

32
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:51.239
<v Speaker 2>is Matthew Sluka. It's Sluka, John, you think that Sluka

33
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 2>or Sluka.

34
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 3>I've been saying Sluca.

35
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:57.599
<v Speaker 2>So I think, okay, So he has decided to transfer

36
00:01:58.079 --> 00:01:59.920
<v Speaker 2>and red shirt. He's going to get a chance to

37
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.359
<v Speaker 2>then go through springball at a new school and play

38
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:04.879
<v Speaker 2>next year because he's only played in three games, and

39
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 2>you can red shred after three games. So here's what

40
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:12.560
<v Speaker 2>we know this is. And I trust the reporting of

41
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 2>of of let me see, yeah, I trust the reporting

42
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.240
<v Speaker 2>of Sure, I got it right, Pete the Thamil. I

43
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:19.960
<v Speaker 2>thought it was McMurphy. But no, it's it's uh, it's

44
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Famil And you know, he lays out exactly what was

45
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:29.080
<v Speaker 2>what was expressed to uh, to the player when he

46
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.960
<v Speaker 2>decided to transfer to NLV. Money was clearly a factor here.

47
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:38.360
<v Speaker 2>So here's the thread. Let's see. Well, I want to

48
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:39.840
<v Speaker 2>make sure I get it right here. Yeah, it says

49
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.599
<v Speaker 2>here that uh, he's an ile representation and this is

50
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:45.960
<v Speaker 2>this is where it's gonna get a little bit, a

51
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:50.759
<v Speaker 2>little bit confusing. But Marcus Cromarty is an agent for

52
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:55.479
<v Speaker 2>Equity Sports and he represents SLUCA in an IL. He's

53
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 2>told ESPN and Pete Damil that he was verbally promised

54
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.319
<v Speaker 2>a minimum of one hundred thousand dollars from a UNLV

55
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.919
<v Speaker 2>assistant coach to transfer there, and none of that money

56
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.520
<v Speaker 2>was paid once he enrolled in school. There was no

57
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:12.240
<v Speaker 2>effort made by UNLV's collective to formalize a contract at

58
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:16.800
<v Speaker 2>that amount. Months after he enrolled, Chromarty made multiple efforts

59
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.479
<v Speaker 2>with the staff and school to address the issue. He said,

60
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.759
<v Speaker 2>the school and collective came back with a contract of

61
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 2>three thousand dollars per month for the next four months,

62
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 2>which of course is eighty eight thousand dollars less than

63
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 2>what Krimarti said UNLV verbally promised him upfront. The only

64
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:37.560
<v Speaker 2>money he's received from UNLV per his agent, is a

65
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:41.879
<v Speaker 2>three thousand dollars relocation stipend because of his move. He

66
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:45.159
<v Speaker 2>says that there was never an ask for more money

67
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.360
<v Speaker 2>after UNLV's hot start, only the initial amount he was

68
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.879
<v Speaker 2>promised to transfer. When that didn't come, he evaluated his options,

69
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 2>decided to play elsewhere next year. And again, the Red

70
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Shirt's going to give him a chance to enroll in

71
00:03:56.439 --> 00:04:00.599
<v Speaker 2>spring elsewhere and play at a different school twenty twenty

72
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.840
<v Speaker 2>five and probably make some real nil money. I mean,

73
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>he's not elite, but look, this is a guy who

74
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:09.719
<v Speaker 2>verbally and again, even if you think, well it's on

75
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:13.000
<v Speaker 2>the kid, he didn't get it in writing. Maybe I

76
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.560
<v Speaker 2>mean yeah, I mean he trusted his agent. His agent,

77
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 2>by the way, is not licensed in Nevada. But it

78
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:19.920
<v Speaker 2>sounds like that's not really what any of this is about.

79
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.839
<v Speaker 2>It's him taking a coach at his word and the

80
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:27.000
<v Speaker 2>coach not being able to pull off what he was

81
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:31.560
<v Speaker 2>throwing out there when trying to recruit this player. So again,

82
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:36.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure this agent and the kid will say they

83
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.040
<v Speaker 2>learned from this experience and they'll they'll always try to

84
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.160
<v Speaker 2>get it in writing ahead of time. But I also

85
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:43.519
<v Speaker 2>would be willing to bet there's a lot of guys

86
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.000
<v Speaker 2>out there on nil deals and they don't have it

87
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.079
<v Speaker 2>in writing, Like not every one of these guys has

88
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 2>an agent. And what's sad is that some of these guys,

89
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.600
<v Speaker 2>this guy, you know, this player included, are trusting agents

90
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:58.079
<v Speaker 2>that don't don't do it the right way. So even

91
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:02.920
<v Speaker 2>if he knows he's at fault, he's still, in my opinion,

92
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.680
<v Speaker 2>is entitled to look out for his best interest. And

93
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.120
<v Speaker 2>he's this. Look, these these are employees. Now that's what

94
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.160
<v Speaker 2>this is. This is this is a job for this guy.

95
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.439
<v Speaker 2>He knows he's not going to the NFL. He's got

96
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:21.160
<v Speaker 2>a chance to make six figures, a damn good entry

97
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 2>level salary for somebody fresh out of college, and who

98
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.639
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't take advantage of that. So now he's not getting

99
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>that money. And even if it's not in writing, I mean,

100
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.240
<v Speaker 2>I do work in a in a field where contracts

101
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.639
<v Speaker 2>are very much a part of it, and I actually

102
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:39.160
<v Speaker 2>hate that, to be honest with you, but you know,

103
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:44.040
<v Speaker 2>it's it's how the game works. You have jobs where

104
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 2>you don't have a contract, right, and if you stop

105
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.199
<v Speaker 2>getting paid what your boss who interviewed you told you

106
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.120
<v Speaker 2>you'd be paid, you know what you do, you stop

107
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:54.759
<v Speaker 2>going to work, right, we all would, So, like, I

108
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.160
<v Speaker 2>don't want to hear any criticism of this kid. In fact,

109
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.959
<v Speaker 2>he's not a kid. He's a grown man. He's twenty two,

110
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.399
<v Speaker 2>probably twenty three actually, and he has a chance because

111
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:09.959
<v Speaker 2>of nil to do a year of college football where

112
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.279
<v Speaker 2>it is a job and he will make money. And

113
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.639
<v Speaker 2>he was promised and assured he'd make this by a coach,

114
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.000
<v Speaker 2>and now it's not happening. So you know what, he's

115
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:22.519
<v Speaker 2>gonna stop going to work. We're not used to viewing

116
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:24.439
<v Speaker 2>it this way, but that's what this is, guys. This

117
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:29.720
<v Speaker 2>is a job now, this is professional sports. So I

118
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>have no issue with what he's doing, even if you

119
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.360
<v Speaker 2>want to claim what an idiot he just trusted this coach.

120
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Well fun he got burned, But he's also gonna do

121
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:42.480
<v Speaker 2>what he needs to do now to correct the situation

122
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:44.800
<v Speaker 2>and not waste a year of eligibility where he was

123
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:47.240
<v Speaker 2>short at eighty eight thousand dollars for what he was

124
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:52.000
<v Speaker 2>told the job would pay him. So there's an update

125
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.800
<v Speaker 2>to the story. He's now the second player from UNLV

126
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:57.759
<v Speaker 2>who transferred in who is doing the exact same thing

127
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:02.680
<v Speaker 2>for allegedly the exact same reasons, and that is their

128
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.199
<v Speaker 2>running back who just transferred in from North Carolina State.

129
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:07.399
<v Speaker 2>And again, these are guys that clearly have been a

130
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:12.120
<v Speaker 2>factor in the success that this team has had thus far.

131
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:14.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm sure this team can still win games.

132
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:18.240
<v Speaker 2>In fact, it sounds like there's another FCS quarterback they

133
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.759
<v Speaker 2>took in the portal that there's some confidence in that

134
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:23.319
<v Speaker 2>maybe they'll be able to kind of pick over they

135
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:27.240
<v Speaker 2>left off. But when it comes to the running game,

136
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:34.240
<v Speaker 2>let's see here the yeah, the running back, Michael Allen,

137
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I remember that name. He transferred in to UNLV from

138
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:42.759
<v Speaker 2>NC State and he's decided to again do the same thing.

139
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.680
<v Speaker 2>He says that. Let me read specifically his tweet here.

140
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:50.560
<v Speaker 2>It says, expectations for opportunities unfortunately were not met, and

141
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:53.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited to continue my football career. And of course

142
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:57.920
<v Speaker 2>he means elsewhere. So if I had to say there's

143
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.319
<v Speaker 2>one person who probably screwed up here, it was the coach,

144
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:04.360
<v Speaker 2>because he was probably just trying to say whatever you

145
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.360
<v Speaker 2>got to say to get a kid to commit, right,

146
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:13.839
<v Speaker 2>And that's that's very common. And let me give you

147
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.279
<v Speaker 2>an example. Like you know, many coaches sell these plays,

148
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:21.319
<v Speaker 2>used to sell these players like role opportunity, and yet

149
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:23.879
<v Speaker 2>when they get there, it's not that because coaches used

150
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:25.040
<v Speaker 2>to be able to do that, and who was gonna

151
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.120
<v Speaker 2>hold them accountable? Well, now, if you're talking in I

152
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:29.319
<v Speaker 2>own money, according to the n DOUAA, you're breaking the rules.

153
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.320
<v Speaker 2>But then again, nobody seems to follow those. And I

154
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:34.480
<v Speaker 2>don't blame him because nobody seems to be in charge,

155
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:36.960
<v Speaker 2>and you know you're gonna do whatever, and just dare

156
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.080
<v Speaker 2>somebody to try to punish you, because if the n

157
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.919
<v Speaker 2>SAA does, they'll probably get sued and lose. So I'm

158
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:44.960
<v Speaker 2>not even really saying the coach is just a slee's

159
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:49.759
<v Speaker 2>ball because these coaches, especially assistants that are recruiters, they

160
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:52.240
<v Speaker 2>come from a world that is not a lot different.

161
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:54.039
<v Speaker 2>It used to be a lot different than it is now.

162
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Meaning you say whatever you've got to say to get

163
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:57.960
<v Speaker 2>this kid to come here. You know, many kids came

164
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:01.360
<v Speaker 2>here for Charlie Strong and even John L. Smith. I

165
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:04.240
<v Speaker 2>canna think of at least four or five that we're told,

166
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:09.480
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, you're the best athlete on your high school team,

167
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:12.120
<v Speaker 2>and damn you're putting a big numbers at quarterback, so

168
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:14.799
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna let you play quarterback. No, they're gonna put

169
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:17.240
<v Speaker 2>you carry. Rhodes had all had a hell of a

170
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:20.480
<v Speaker 2>career in the NFL as a defensive back. Carry Rhodes

171
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.559
<v Speaker 2>was told by John L. Smith, he's gonna play quarterback

172
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:25.840
<v Speaker 2>at Louisville. Not a chance. Marcus Smith was a first

173
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.480
<v Speaker 2>round draft pick for Charlie Strong for the Philadelphia Eagles,

174
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.519
<v Speaker 2>hell of a defensive end. He was sold, oh yeah,

175
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.879
<v Speaker 2>we'll put you a quarterback. So it's shady, but I

176
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:37.679
<v Speaker 2>can just tell you that's how it's always been. But

177
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:40.120
<v Speaker 2>now you enter money, it's a different thing, and these

178
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:42.440
<v Speaker 2>guys have players have the power now where they didn't

179
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:46.559
<v Speaker 2>used to have. Players can absolutely look out for their

180
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:48.080
<v Speaker 2>best interest in a way they didn't used to be

181
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:51.960
<v Speaker 2>able to coach. Is a jerk, all right, portal, have

182
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.559
<v Speaker 2>a nice life. My money's funny. Nope, yep, three games

183
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:00.159
<v Speaker 2>in Now you got to start all over because you

184
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:02.200
<v Speaker 2>didn't take care of me, and I have the ability

185
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:04.639
<v Speaker 2>to go somewhere else to get taken care of. So

186
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, I just I'm a little triggered about people

187
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:10.399
<v Speaker 2>calling this guy quitter. I think what people still have

188
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:12.720
<v Speaker 2>yet to do is realize this is a different world,

189
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:15.679
<v Speaker 2>and you would do the I mean, you'd be it.

190
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:19.559
<v Speaker 2>You'd be a fool to stick around knowing you're not

191
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:23.519
<v Speaker 2>gonna make the money that you that you were told

192
00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:25.200
<v Speaker 2>you were going to make, which is why you went there.

193
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:28.320
<v Speaker 2>And I know, will come on, what about his teammates?

194
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:30.960
<v Speaker 2>What about what about all the work they put and

195
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:35.000
<v Speaker 2>he's abandoning his guys. It's a job. Now. You ever

196
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:38.440
<v Speaker 2>quit a job thinking, oh man, I'm leaving my coworkers

197
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:41.879
<v Speaker 2>out to dry. I mean maybe, but it wouldn't It

198
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't prevent you from looking out for your best interest

199
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.240
<v Speaker 2>in making sure you're taken care of. It's just a

200
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:53.279
<v Speaker 2>different world now, all right, let's see here. We did

201
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:55.200
<v Speaker 2>talk a little bit earlier about the little basketball schedule.

202
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:57.480
<v Speaker 2>For those of you that missed that, I mean, my

203
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:01.759
<v Speaker 2>takeaways are not much different after seeing the full schedule

204
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.399
<v Speaker 2>in its entirety, game by game, other than you throw

205
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Duke in there, like we talked about yesterday. I didn't

206
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:09.440
<v Speaker 2>even mention earlier. I assuming all of you have seen

207
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:13.480
<v Speaker 2>the schedule, but to see that Carolina is one of

208
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:15.399
<v Speaker 2>your first ACC games, I think you might play them.

209
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:17.320
<v Speaker 2>Let me see when when is that game? Is that

210
00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:19.720
<v Speaker 2>at the beginning of January? First? Yeah, I mean like

211
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:26.279
<v Speaker 2>you will get to mid January, and who knows, maybe

212
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:29.120
<v Speaker 2>teams that we don't expect to be good will end

213
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:32.080
<v Speaker 2>up being good. Like maybe that happens, and I'm sure

214
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:35.240
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna lose games in the year twenty twenty five.

215
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Like I don't want to act like once you get

216
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.080
<v Speaker 2>past Carolina on the first it's it's smooth sailing. But

217
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look at it. Just look at the schedule.

218
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:49.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean a front loaded schedule to say the least.

219
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:53.279
<v Speaker 2>And I really the Bahamas trip is going to be

220
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:59.720
<v Speaker 2>so important for them because I think like Ole Miss Duke,

221
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:01.840
<v Speaker 2>those that's two top twenty teams you play, and you

222
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:03.679
<v Speaker 2>play them back to back, and then you got UTEP

223
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:07.279
<v Speaker 2>and then Kentucky all that from December third to December fourteenth,

224
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:14.240
<v Speaker 2>you play Ole Miss Duke in Kentucky. So going two

225
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:17.039
<v Speaker 2>and one there would be I mean, not a miracle,

226
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:20.399
<v Speaker 2>but like I don't know, there's somebody pointed this out

227
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:23.879
<v Speaker 2>earlier and I'm glad you did because it's so true.

228
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:27.799
<v Speaker 2>And I tried to, you know, go off what I

229
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:29.600
<v Speaker 2>saw in the Bahamas and go off what we know

230
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:32.840
<v Speaker 2>about these players that transferred in. But somebody pointed out

231
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:34.399
<v Speaker 2>that when they look at the schedule, it's just another

232
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:37.480
<v Speaker 2>reminder that this is the ultimate This is the ultimate unknown,

233
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:40.600
<v Speaker 2>and it really is. You really never know what you're

234
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna get. Even when teams like Miami brought back a

235
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Final four team in Stunk last year minus one player,

236
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:49.080
<v Speaker 2>no joke, one like one piece was gone from their

237
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:51.039
<v Speaker 2>team that went to the Final four and they fell apart.

238
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:53.960
<v Speaker 2>So you really never know. But man, this is a

239
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:58.360
<v Speaker 2>brand new coaching staff with all new players that they've

240
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.600
<v Speaker 2>never coached before. I shouldn't say that. Rain Smith he

241
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:04.039
<v Speaker 2>played a lot of minutes for for Pat Kelsey for

242
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:07.600
<v Speaker 2>many years, so you know, and there's other guys from Charleston,

243
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:10.080
<v Speaker 2>so it's not brand new. But still overall, like I think,

244
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:12.240
<v Speaker 2>the majority of the guys, I mean, nearly everyone on

245
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.240
<v Speaker 2>the team that's gonna play minutes this year, this is

246
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:15.799
<v Speaker 2>all new to them. Doesn't mean it's not gonna work out.

247
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:17.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm not bringing that up to say we

248
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:19.679
<v Speaker 2>should not have high expectations, but it's just you just

249
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:22.879
<v Speaker 2>don't know what you're gonna get. But that's also you know,

250
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:24.679
<v Speaker 2>the intrigue of the unknown is a real thing in

251
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:27.279
<v Speaker 2>my opinion, and I cannot wait for basketball season to

252
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:31.399
<v Speaker 2>get here, all right, So when it comes to this

253
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame matchup, you know, I think our conversation with

254
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:36.360
<v Speaker 2>Alex Kupper earlier was great. If you guys missed it,

255
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:38.399
<v Speaker 2>make sure you check out the podcast. We'll also have

256
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:41.360
<v Speaker 2>it featured in our pregame show on Saturday afternoon. But

257
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:42.919
<v Speaker 2>you know, I think Cub said it best. If you

258
00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:44.639
<v Speaker 2>look at what Notre Dame has done up to this point,

259
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:47.840
<v Speaker 2>I think you make Riley Leonard beat you, and you

260
00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:51.200
<v Speaker 2>feel pretty good about your ability improving to everyone that

261
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:52.960
<v Speaker 2>he can't do that. I don't want to act like

262
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:55.799
<v Speaker 2>the guy's will bomb and he thinks and you know,

263
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:59.559
<v Speaker 2>set up the karma to have him roll into uh

264
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:03.200
<v Speaker 2>to South Bend on Saturday and light us up. But

265
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:06.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's not. I mean, to me, I've never

266
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:09.120
<v Speaker 2>under like I think Duke being good is just weird.

267
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:11.000
<v Speaker 2>For Duke. That's gonna bring a lot of attention. And

268
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.679
<v Speaker 2>Elko did a good job there, and he was his quarterback.

269
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:17.279
<v Speaker 2>But like I think Duke being good, a lot of

270
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:18.759
<v Speaker 2>people chalk it up, well, hey, they must have a

271
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:21.080
<v Speaker 2>once in a lifetime quarterback for Duke. And look, I'm

272
00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:23.519
<v Speaker 2>not trying to say he's a bad quarterback, but like

273
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.720
<v Speaker 2>he's never really impressed me, and again, impressing me is

274
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:29.799
<v Speaker 2>probably not what he's set out to do. But his

275
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:35.799
<v Speaker 2>numbers right now are eh did that? Did that sound

276
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:37.879
<v Speaker 2>that just came from my body that I'd indicate that

277
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:39.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm unimpressed because that's what I was going for John

278
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:42.039
<v Speaker 2>It did, okay? Just making sure. I mean, he only

279
00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:47.159
<v Speaker 2>has one touchdown pass on the year. Now, I'm looking

280
00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:50.320
<v Speaker 2>at his numbers here as far as game by game,

281
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:55.200
<v Speaker 2>and you know, he's thrown for one hundred and sixty

282
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.799
<v Speaker 2>three yards. That's the most he's thrown in a game.

283
00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:00.000
<v Speaker 2>And that actually came and they're lost in Northern Illinois.

284
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:05.720
<v Speaker 2>He threw a touchdown against Miami Ohio last Saturday. That

285
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:08.679
<v Speaker 2>was his first touchdown of the season. So I mean,

286
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:12.240
<v Speaker 2>he's not statistically doing a whole lot. Now. To be fair,

287
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:14.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if they're really asking him to go

288
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:17.720
<v Speaker 2>out there and use his arm and beat teams just

289
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:20.879
<v Speaker 2>with his ability to make plays as a quarterback. But

290
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.480
<v Speaker 2>it may be because they feel like their strength is

291
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:24.600
<v Speaker 2>going to be in the running game, and they're a

292
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:26.200
<v Speaker 2>top twenty team right now when it comes to rushing

293
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.360
<v Speaker 2>yards per game. Clearly they're going to try to slow

294
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:31.840
<v Speaker 2>this game down run the ball effectively. But I think

295
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:34.600
<v Speaker 2>if you can stop their run, easier said than done.

296
00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:37.200
<v Speaker 2>But if this defense really steps up and shows they

297
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:39.240
<v Speaker 2>are in elite defense like we believe they can be

298
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:42.080
<v Speaker 2>from a personnel standpoint, then it's going to be right

299
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:44.320
<v Speaker 2>of Leonard's job to have to make plays for him,

300
00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:45.840
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know if he's gonna be able to

301
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:47.720
<v Speaker 2>do that. I mean, Texas A and HM they've got

302
00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:51.000
<v Speaker 2>a great defensive coach in Mike Elko, and they always

303
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.080
<v Speaker 2>have talent because they can go buy players just as

304
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:56.200
<v Speaker 2>good as almost anybody. But you know, I feel pretty

305
00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.480
<v Speaker 2>good that Louisville from a defensive standpoint, IWF Quincy Riley

306
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:01.120
<v Speaker 2>can't go. That changes things. But I think Louisville will

307
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:05.879
<v Speaker 2>be able to stuff the run and keep Notre Dame

308
00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:09.159
<v Speaker 2>well below. They're two hundred and thirty eight yards per

309
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:12.759
<v Speaker 2>game on the ground, so I mean Notre Dame's offense.

310
00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:17.960
<v Speaker 2>It's been it's been. I mean they've only scored more

311
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.320
<v Speaker 2>than twenty eight points once in their four games, and

312
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:24.600
<v Speaker 2>that came against Perdue, which should remind I mean that

313
00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:28.559
<v Speaker 2>Purdue must really suck ass. I mean, how bad can

314
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Perdue be?

315
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:31.960
<v Speaker 3>They do suck ass? I mean, I think they're only

316
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:34.159
<v Speaker 3>dogs by like ten points to fast.

317
00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:36.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm fading Purdue, and I had to do it over

318
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:39.919
<v Speaker 2>the weekend and just remind people, like because I still

319
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:43.960
<v Speaker 2>remember like when Jeff, when Jeff turned us down the

320
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:47.919
<v Speaker 2>first time, I genuinely believe it was exactly for the

321
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:50.480
<v Speaker 2>reasons that he said it was. It wasn't money, It

322
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:53.360
<v Speaker 2>wasn't because he thought Purdue was a better opportunity and

323
00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:56.440
<v Speaker 2>a better place for him. He literally just didn't want

324
00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:58.519
<v Speaker 2>to leave those players behind that he brought there. It's

325
00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:00.720
<v Speaker 2>a different world now. Those guys could fin follow him,

326
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:03.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, they could. They could. They could ride down

327
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:06.559
<v Speaker 2>to Louisville from South bed Within. I mean, like you could,

328
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:09.359
<v Speaker 2>you can do that? Like it's a new world. But

329
00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:12.599
<v Speaker 2>I was so bothered by Purdue because I don't understand

330
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:14.359
<v Speaker 2>there's football teams in the Big Ten that have a

331
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:17.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of tradition that you know, may may not have

332
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:20.319
<v Speaker 2>a lot of big time wins and Big Bowl wins

333
00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:23.319
<v Speaker 2>or playoff appearances, and they can claim, well, you know

334
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.920
<v Speaker 2>it's because it's because we playing, you know, we play

335
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:28.839
<v Speaker 2>in the Big Ten. Are you going to do produce?

336
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:31.799
<v Speaker 2>Not one of those teams Purdue has stunk And the

337
00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:36.359
<v Speaker 2>only factor in them not stinking for a brief time

338
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:39.720
<v Speaker 2>was Jeff Brown. Because I don't know if you guys

339
00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:41.799
<v Speaker 2>have seen like they're they're terrible this year, and I just,

340
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:43.400
<v Speaker 2>I just I was just reminded by that. But looking

341
00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:45.440
<v Speaker 2>at what Notre Dame did to them, and they did

342
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:47.079
<v Speaker 2>that at Purdue, didn't they?

343
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I think that. Yeah.

344
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:52.119
<v Speaker 2>That So Danny Hope was there from twenty nine or

345
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:54.799
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and nine to twenty twelve, four seasons. He

346
00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:57.039
<v Speaker 2>was twenty two and twenty seven overall, thirteen to nine

347
00:17:57.079 --> 00:17:59.839
<v Speaker 2>in the Big Ten. Darryl Hazel took over for him

348
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.160
<v Speaker 2>and he was there for four years, twenty thirteen to sixteen.

349
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:04.720
<v Speaker 2>He was nine and thirty three overall, five and twenty

350
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:09.319
<v Speaker 2>five in the Big Ten. Jeff Brohm comes in record again.

351
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:11.400
<v Speaker 2>I used to get so triggered when people would say, well,

352
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:14.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, whoa you heavy he got just hating record,

353
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:17.599
<v Speaker 2>Shatterfield has it whole whoa oh we really going and

354
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:21.240
<v Speaker 2>getting a better coach. We should be banned from Cardinal

355
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:23.519
<v Speaker 2>Stadium for five years minimum for acting as if we

356
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:26.799
<v Speaker 2>were bringing in the same caliber coach whenever we got

357
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.319
<v Speaker 2>Brahm and got rid of Sadderfield's bow ass. I'm sorry,

358
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:32.880
<v Speaker 2>just disgraceful that people would say that kind of stuff.

359
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:35.839
<v Speaker 2>So Jeff not great, but thirty six and thirty four

360
00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:39.640
<v Speaker 2>overall at Purdue, winning record in the Big Ten twenty

361
00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:41.759
<v Speaker 2>six and twenty five took him to the Big Ten

362
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:47.559
<v Speaker 2>Championship game, beat three top three teams at Purdue since

363
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:52.359
<v Speaker 2>he left Ryan Walters five and ten overall, three and

364
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:58.400
<v Speaker 2>six in the Big Ten. So that was a long

365
00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:03.119
<v Speaker 2>winded way of me letting you know that that win

366
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:05.759
<v Speaker 2>that Notre Dame has where they beat the Brakes off Purdue,

367
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.680
<v Speaker 2>it's more likely because Purdue sucks. That's not me telling

368
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:11.720
<v Speaker 2>you Notre Dame stinks. But like, I just don't get

369
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:15.880
<v Speaker 2>why there's not more people willing to say, yeah, I

370
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.519
<v Speaker 2>think louisll wins this one, and maybe they are. I

371
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:21.240
<v Speaker 2>know Louisville fans are saying that. But I was happy

372
00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:23.759
<v Speaker 2>to play this sound for you early, and I'll play

373
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:25.359
<v Speaker 2>really quickly here before we get to a break and

374
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:27.880
<v Speaker 2>come back on the other side and keep the thing

375
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:29.319
<v Speaker 2>rolling along again. I do want to try to get

376
00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:30.680
<v Speaker 2>as much as we can before we get out of here.

377
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:33.440
<v Speaker 2>But this is Rick Neuheisel, who works for CBS covering

378
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.079
<v Speaker 2>college football. This was I guess they're studio set earlier

379
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:39.960
<v Speaker 2>this week looking at this weekend's games on the college

380
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:43.359
<v Speaker 2>football slate, and he thinks the wrong team's favored, the.

381
00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:46.960
<v Speaker 4>Wrong team's favor here, This should be Louisville favored. Jeff

382
00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:49.759
<v Speaker 4>Brahm said it exactly right. If you couldn't get Notre

383
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:52.640
<v Speaker 4>Dame behind and forced Riley Leonard into having the throw.

384
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:54.279
<v Speaker 4>And I was strong just a little bit of goh

385
00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:57.039
<v Speaker 4>saying that he can't throw. He certainly can, but he

386
00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:59.279
<v Speaker 4>is inconsistent missing a.

387
00:19:59.319 --> 00:19:59.759
<v Speaker 2>Lot of weeks.

388
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:02.759
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if it's a boom, a matter of

389
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:05.720
<v Speaker 4>still injured, or what have you. But if they're going

390
00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:08.640
<v Speaker 4>to be that inconsistent with the forward pass, it's incumbent

391
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:11.039
<v Speaker 4>upon Louisville to get a lead. And I think defensively

392
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:13.920
<v Speaker 4>they're good enough and Shuck's good enough for that to happen.

393
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:14.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm taking the.

394
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:18.000
<v Speaker 4>Cardinals tan to be is going to be very important,

395
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:19.640
<v Speaker 4>especially from the Louisville.

396
00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:20.240
<v Speaker 3>Side, because they've got it.

397
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:21.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who this guy is talking.

398
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:23.839
<v Speaker 3>Receivers, it's the number three offense in the ACC.

399
00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:26.759
<v Speaker 5>I think they take down Notre Dame and we don't

400
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:27.960
<v Speaker 5>have to hear a whole lot of weed.

401
00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:32.279
<v Speaker 2>Wow, So two of the I don't know who that

402
00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:32.680
<v Speaker 2>guy is.

403
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:33.000
<v Speaker 1>They don't.

404
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:35.839
<v Speaker 2>He's got beautiful hair and he's got he's a silver fox.

405
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:39.039
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, you know that doesn't mean Louisville is

406
00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:41.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna win. It'll have no impact at all. But these

407
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:44.960
<v Speaker 2>are the CBS guys that are picking the game, not

408
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:46.960
<v Speaker 2>the spread. This is nothing to do with wagering. So

409
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:50.279
<v Speaker 2>if that if you needed some more confidence before you

410
00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:53.720
<v Speaker 2>make the trip trip up to South Bend, Hopefully that helped.

411
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:56.759
<v Speaker 2>All right, quick break, we'll come back on the other side.

412
00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:58.559
<v Speaker 2>It is Coffee and Company and we are fuel about

413
00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:03.839
<v Speaker 2>Thorntons right here on Sports Talk seven ninety. I can't

414
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:06.759
<v Speaker 2>get a read as far as the confidence level for

415
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:10.039
<v Speaker 2>UK fans in this matchup against ole Miss. I mean,

416
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:11.839
<v Speaker 2>ole Miss is a really good team. You got to

417
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:14.079
<v Speaker 2>go play them at their place. But I mean you

418
00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:18.680
<v Speaker 2>did just play Georgia really close, but you were able to,

419
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:22.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, have that game played at the pace and

420
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.200
<v Speaker 2>style that gave you your best chance to win. I

421
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:28.839
<v Speaker 2>think trying to ugly it up and slow down Lane

422
00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Kiffen and his offense is you know, much easier said

423
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:35.920
<v Speaker 2>than done. But uh, Lane Kiffin. You know, I remember

424
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:38.920
<v Speaker 2>when Louisville played Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss in the

425
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:41.279
<v Speaker 2>opener a couple of years ago, and I remember thinking, Wow,

426
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:43.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is this, you know, as a talk

427
00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:45.640
<v Speaker 2>radio host, Like, we're playing a guy who's a character

428
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:47.799
<v Speaker 2>within college football. There's a lot of stories about him

429
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:51.599
<v Speaker 2>over the years, and some of them are funny, but like,

430
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:54.799
<v Speaker 2>he really isn't. He's not somebody that's just got this

431
00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:58.079
<v Speaker 2>big personality. That's just he's not Mike Leech as far

432
00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:00.519
<v Speaker 2>as in front of a microphone. But I think what

433
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:02.960
<v Speaker 2>makes him different is one, he was just so young

434
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:06.480
<v Speaker 2>when he got his start, and you know, it's intriguing

435
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:09.000
<v Speaker 2>to see a guy at this point kind of back

436
00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:14.119
<v Speaker 2>on top. After two failed stints at big schools. He

437
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:16.680
<v Speaker 2>was unsuccessful at Tennessee and left after a year and

438
00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:19.440
<v Speaker 2>left him in trouble, and then he went to USC

439
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:22.599
<v Speaker 2>and that was a little premature in my opinion, but

440
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:24.599
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't great. I don't know if he should have

441
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:27.119
<v Speaker 2>been fired, but then he had to rehab his career

442
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:32.079
<v Speaker 2>right at Alabama. And you know, I can't tell if

443
00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:35.839
<v Speaker 2>they're if they're feud is in fun or they really

444
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:38.519
<v Speaker 2>hate each other, meaning Saban and Kiffin. But I think

445
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:40.640
<v Speaker 2>kiffn you know, he's a guy that just he's going

446
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:44.480
<v Speaker 2>to be direct. He's going to probably say things to

447
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Saban that most wouldn't challenge Saban in a way when

448
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.039
<v Speaker 2>most wouldn't because one, he's who he is, and also

449
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:55.799
<v Speaker 2>you know he's especially on offense, like he's the OC

450
00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:58.000
<v Speaker 2>for Saban. But Saban's got to say so. And if

451
00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:01.599
<v Speaker 2>Saban disagrees, I'm sure Kiffin feels comfortable in saying you're wrong,

452
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:03.319
<v Speaker 2>and that can create a rift. I mean, it is

453
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:08.240
<v Speaker 2>wild that Saban basically sent his ass on after he

454
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:10.240
<v Speaker 2>already had taken a job. It was it was, you know,

455
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:12.920
<v Speaker 2>the belief that he would still be coaching Alabama in

456
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:16.559
<v Speaker 2>the playoff whenever he went to FAU and Saban said no,

457
00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:18.000
<v Speaker 2>So I think that actually speaks to the fact that

458
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:19.920
<v Speaker 2>they didn't get along and didn't work well. But either way,

459
00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:23.559
<v Speaker 2>Lane Kiffin's just really direct. He's really honest, and that's rare.

460
00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:26.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he calls out other coaches, but he's not

461
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:28.880
<v Speaker 2>doing it in like a petty way. He's just direct.

462
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:32.039
<v Speaker 2>His press conferences are actually, you know, there's not a

463
00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:34.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of energy there because I remember being underwhelmed, like

464
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:37.640
<v Speaker 2>We've got the presser before the Louisville match up with

465
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Old Miss and like, Lane Kiffin's kind of boring. But

466
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:45.400
<v Speaker 2>he did something ahead of this matchup that I still

467
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:47.240
<v Speaker 2>it's not like, you know, this isn't something I don't

468
00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:49.440
<v Speaker 2>want to sensationalize it as if like it's it should

469
00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:52.799
<v Speaker 2>be leading the current, you know, newswire in college football,

470
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:55.799
<v Speaker 2>but he called it like it was. They played nobody

471
00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:58.559
<v Speaker 2>yet meeting Ole Miss, and they're going to play Kentucky,

472
00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:00.799
<v Speaker 2>who nobody really knows if they're any good at all

473
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:03.599
<v Speaker 2>or if they're I mean, Tucky's got to be one

474
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:05.200
<v Speaker 2>of the tougher teams to figure out what their results

475
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:07.799
<v Speaker 2>at this point. But I think he knows he can

476
00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:10.319
<v Speaker 2>look at what they did against Georgia and they have

477
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:13.519
<v Speaker 2>played South Carolina, who isn't very good but still an

478
00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:16.319
<v Speaker 2>SEC team and probably better than anybody that Old Missus played.

479
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:19.519
<v Speaker 2>So I just think it's it's nice to hear coaches

480
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:21.279
<v Speaker 2>just say what we all know is the truth, and

481
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:23.680
<v Speaker 2>that's that who they've played at this point has not

482
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:26.559
<v Speaker 2>challenged them in a way that he'd like his team

483
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:29.400
<v Speaker 2>to be challenged as of September twenty fifth.

484
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:33.319
<v Speaker 5>No, I'm realist. I don't think our opponents have really

485
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:37.079
<v Speaker 5>prepared us for the SEC play. What dom I hope

486
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:40.640
<v Speaker 5>is our practice in our fall camp has prepared us

487
00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:44.440
<v Speaker 5>because we play against really good players on both sides

488
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:47.039
<v Speaker 5>of the ball, so defensively we play against really big

489
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:52.559
<v Speaker 5>linemen and seeing the other way around. So schedule not

490
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:58.799
<v Speaker 5>it is what it is, and so I hope that

491
00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:01.839
<v Speaker 5>our practice has because our practices are similar to what

492
00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:02.359
<v Speaker 5>we faced.

493
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:06.599
<v Speaker 2>That's just a real coach, like, that's not disrespect, that's

494
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:12.640
<v Speaker 2>not trying to show up Wake Forest or Middle Tennessee

495
00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:17.839
<v Speaker 2>State and Furman. That's just in Georgia Southern. That's just

496
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:20.960
<v Speaker 2>the coach being honest and saying that their practices have

497
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:24.119
<v Speaker 2>been a bigger test for them than who they've played.

498
00:25:24.119 --> 00:25:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Because Old mis went out and bought a hell of

499
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:28.519
<v Speaker 2>a team and they're in the top ten. Their second

500
00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:32.680
<v Speaker 2>string unit would probably beat everybody they played for both

501
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:35.799
<v Speaker 2>those reasons. They ain't played nobody it's any good, and

502
00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:39.559
<v Speaker 2>they got reserves in depth they could compete. So I

503
00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:43.079
<v Speaker 2>don't know, I just found that to be refreshing. And

504
00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you this. He went on to talk about it,

505
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:46.519
<v Speaker 2>and I don't have this clip in front of it,

506
00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:48.279
<v Speaker 2>but he went on to really kind of gass up

507
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:50.839
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky's personnel and talked about how they've got a lot

508
00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:52.119
<v Speaker 2>of guys on their team that are going to play

509
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:55.720
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL, especially on defense. And I'm thinking, all right,

510
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:58.400
<v Speaker 2>come on, now, you're just now you're just trying to

511
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:01.480
<v Speaker 2>build this Kentucky team up to be something they're not.

512
00:26:01.519 --> 00:26:04.680
<v Speaker 2>And then I thought to myself, he's right. Like if

513
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:06.599
<v Speaker 2>I thought Kentucky had a bunch of bums and they

514
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:08.359
<v Speaker 2>were gonna beat anybody this year, I would tell you

515
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:10.079
<v Speaker 2>that because it would make me happy to say that.

516
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:12.079
<v Speaker 2>But I also can't lie to myself, and I don't

517
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:14.599
<v Speaker 2>want to lie to you. Kentucky has good players, now

518
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:16.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how good. VANDW. Griff is, but you

519
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:19.119
<v Speaker 2>know he's tough. You know, he's good enough I think

520
00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:23.079
<v Speaker 2>for you to have some success against you know, half

521
00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:26.839
<v Speaker 2>your schedule, maybe, But they've got really good guys on defense,

522
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:30.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, on the line, at linebacker, in the secondary.

523
00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Barrian Brown, I mean, he's he's really good.

524
00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:34.799
<v Speaker 4>Dame Key.

525
00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:37.079
<v Speaker 2>It was against a nobody, but he just had a

526
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:39.839
<v Speaker 2>really impressive day, one of the best receiving performances last week.

527
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:41.799
<v Speaker 2>So you know, I don't know if Kentucky fans think

528
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:43.039
<v Speaker 2>about that very much. And I'm not telling you that

529
00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:44.559
<v Speaker 2>you showed you guys can do whatever you want, and

530
00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:46.720
<v Speaker 2>you know I wouldn't. I mean, I can't speak for you.

531
00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:49.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a Kentucky fan, but I would at this

532
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:51.079
<v Speaker 2>point in the season if I was you, if I

533
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:54.400
<v Speaker 2>could put myself in your shoes, I would feel all right.

534
00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:59.319
<v Speaker 2>Tough loss just to Georgia game we could have won.

535
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:04.440
<v Speaker 2>No excuse to lose to South Carolina and certainly an

536
00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:06.359
<v Speaker 2>excuse to lose to them the way you did, because

537
00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:08.039
<v Speaker 2>we know they're not great and we were at home

538
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:11.799
<v Speaker 2>and we have better players in them. So you know,

539
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:14.720
<v Speaker 2>I would be thinking to myself, not only does Stoops

540
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:16.480
<v Speaker 2>need to finish strong here the rest of the season.

541
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:19.599
<v Speaker 2>But like it's not just about because we want to

542
00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:21.559
<v Speaker 2>go to a bowl game. It's because, no, you should

543
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:26.839
<v Speaker 2>you have players that are capable of winning a game

544
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:29.920
<v Speaker 2>you've already lost. And I don't know about beating Ole Miss,

545
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:32.200
<v Speaker 2>but like they've got two games that like if they lose,

546
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:35.720
<v Speaker 2>there's a problem, Like Florida sucks, and Florida's of course

547
00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:38.240
<v Speaker 2>at home when they play them in Gainesville, which makes

548
00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:39.839
<v Speaker 2>it a little more difficult. But you've got Auburn at

549
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:43.359
<v Speaker 2>home and like they suck. Auburn lost to cal Auburn

550
00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:46.559
<v Speaker 2>lost to Arkansas, who nobody thinks is good. So not

551
00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:48.319
<v Speaker 2>to say there's a ton of pressure on stoops, but

552
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:52.480
<v Speaker 2>like there's gonna be some swing games that like, now

553
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:56.200
<v Speaker 2>you got to go win one because you already lost

554
00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:00.200
<v Speaker 2>to South Carolina. You know you've got losses coming the

555
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:05.279
<v Speaker 2>likes of Ole Miss and who else do they have

556
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:10.240
<v Speaker 2>that's that's really really highly ranked? Do they have Alabama? No, Texas? Yeah, Texas,

557
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:12.960
<v Speaker 2>who's number one in the country. So I mean those

558
00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:15.799
<v Speaker 2>with with that already in place, Like, no longer are

559
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:17.599
<v Speaker 2>these swing games. These are games you better go win

560
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:20.400
<v Speaker 2>because now we'd have there's definitive proof. And it's not

561
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:22.440
<v Speaker 2>to say that you know they're the worst team in

562
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:24.559
<v Speaker 2>the in the country, but like Florida and Auburn are

563
00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:26.319
<v Speaker 2>teams that, like you know you should be And if

564
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:31.880
<v Speaker 2>you don't, something bad happened. I'll tell you what. I

565
00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:33.640

614
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:47.160
<v Speaker 2>I've been to birthday parties. No way, I had fun

615
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:49.799
<v Speaker 2>at some of them, especially probably kid birthday PARTI yes,

616
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:52.039
<v Speaker 2>So even if you're not enjoying yourself, this is still

617
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:56.000
<v Speaker 2>a party, whether you say so or not. Stick around.

618
00:30:58.039 --> 00:31:01.480
<v Speaker 2>I think this person on the text line is I

619
00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:05.119
<v Speaker 2>think they are. I think they're mentioning this because they're

620
00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:07.759
<v Speaker 2>going back in time when we learned really what's standing

621
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:10.480
<v Speaker 2>on business meant? When Penny Boone decided to transfer from

622
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:13.119
<v Speaker 2>Louisville but yes, I think you're right this texter says

623
00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:16.160
<v Speaker 2>that Nick is it's safe to say that the two

624
00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:20.160
<v Speaker 2>UNLV players are standing on business. I think that's actually

625
00:31:20.200 --> 00:31:22.279
<v Speaker 2>what's happening here, although the running back has since come

626
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:24.799
<v Speaker 2>out and said this is not about nil, it's about

627
00:31:24.839 --> 00:31:27.160
<v Speaker 2>being misled about opportunities on the field. I didn't get

628
00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:29.400
<v Speaker 2>it down from UNLV. They don't have any money. I

629
00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:32.160
<v Speaker 2>mean I added that last part, but like that's really

630
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:35.839
<v Speaker 2>what it's come down to, because they don't and you know,

631
00:31:35.960 --> 00:31:36.559
<v Speaker 2>you need money.

632
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:39.279
<v Speaker 3>In fact, kind of ironic in the land of you know,

633
00:31:39.400 --> 00:31:41.680
<v Speaker 3>gambling and you know, having money in that type of

634
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:43.960
<v Speaker 3>stuff in Las Vegas. They don't have anything for UNL.

635
00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:46.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna say that for tomorrow because two people have

636
00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:47.880
<v Speaker 2>said the same thing, and I have a theory as

637
00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:51.920
<v Speaker 2>to why they're they're struggling here when it seems as

638
00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:53.839
<v Speaker 2>if they'd be as they'd be an area, they'd be

639
00:31:53.880 --> 00:31:55.720
<v Speaker 2>a market really that would be able to have no

640
00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:59.720
<v Speaker 2>problem get money to go get some players. Now, not

641
00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:01.359
<v Speaker 2>to say they should be competing with the likes of

642
00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:04.680
<v Speaker 2>BAM or anything like that, but yeah, this won't be

643
00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:07.359
<v Speaker 2>the last time this happens. I'm sure and I would

644
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:10.759
<v Speaker 2>assume that after we get further into this new world

645
00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:15.279
<v Speaker 2>that there will be this won't be like shocking news

646
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:20.400
<v Speaker 2>to you anymore. Speaking of money in nil, which was

647
00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:23.279
<v Speaker 2>not a thing forever until what twenty twenty one or

648
00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:26.759
<v Speaker 2>whatnot twenty two maybe Reggie Bush has filed a lawsuit

649
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:31.359
<v Speaker 2>against USC, the NCAA, and the PAC twelve seeking compensation

650
00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:34.960
<v Speaker 2>for the use of his name, image, and likeness during

651
00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:38.400
<v Speaker 2>his college football career, claiming they profited from his fame

652
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:43.519
<v Speaker 2>without compensating him. And you know, if you remember, I

653
00:32:43.599 --> 00:32:45.960
<v Speaker 2>kept asking, hey, why is it? What was the date?

654
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Like if you played from twenty sixteen on, you'll get

655
00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:51.559
<v Speaker 2>I think you're right about this yet I don't remember

656
00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:53.960
<v Speaker 2>the exact timeline, but I kept asking, why would you

657
00:32:54.039 --> 00:32:59.559
<v Speaker 2>be able to why would the settlement include players that

658
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:01.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't get paid in a certain timeline. But then like,

659
00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:03.920
<v Speaker 2>because that's why you've had lawsuits. I mean, if you remember,

660
00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:06.759
<v Speaker 2>you've now got guys who won, who won a championship

661
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:10.119
<v Speaker 2>at Kansas. You got a team that made the championship

662
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:14.400
<v Speaker 2>game with cal and I'm sorry, Kansas title team, North

663
00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:17.359
<v Speaker 2>Carolina State title team from back in the eighties, and

664
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:19.079
<v Speaker 2>a Memphis team that made it all the way to

665
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:23.200
<v Speaker 2>the championship game under Caliperry. They've all collectively filed lawsuits

666
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:25.799
<v Speaker 2>because they want money that the school kept from them

667
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:28.440
<v Speaker 2>that you know, they feel like they should be entitled

668
00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:31.960
<v Speaker 2>to since now it's been proven with the with with

669
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:36.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Congress has said what they did is not allowed.

670
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:40.400
<v Speaker 2>They can they cannot prevent you from making money. And oh,

671
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:43.160
<v Speaker 2>by the way, now you've got a revenue share, you know,

672
00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:49.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, so that's never ending. But with Reggie Bush,

673
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:52.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think this kind of to me, you know,

674
00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:55.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I can't relate because I've never had

675
00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:58.440
<v Speaker 2>any money that he's had, like the amount and never

676
00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:01.039
<v Speaker 2>been in that world. But it kind of feels like

677
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:04.599
<v Speaker 2>he's broke. I don't know, Like if you feel like

678
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:06.559
<v Speaker 2>you were wronged and people made money off you and

679
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:07.960
<v Speaker 2>you want to go get it that, you could be

680
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:10.880
<v Speaker 2>a billionaire and still want to be standing on business Sean.

681
00:34:11.239 --> 00:34:13.639
<v Speaker 2>But when it comes to like, I don't know, like

682
00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:15.960
<v Speaker 2>he won a huge law Here's here's my theory about

683
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Reggie Bush. He won a big lawsuit against the Niners

684
00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:20.559
<v Speaker 2>when he played for I think either the Lions of

685
00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:23.719
<v Speaker 2>the Dolphins because when his career was sort of winding down,

686
00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:27.800
<v Speaker 2>he ended up getting tackled at the Niner Stadium and went,

687
00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:30.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, the play went out of bounds and he

688
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:33.199
<v Speaker 2>fell on concrete and hurt himself and it was an

689
00:34:33.199 --> 00:34:35.639
<v Speaker 2>injury that was that was actually caused by the poor

690
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:38.840
<v Speaker 2>field conditions at that stadium. He won millions of dollars,

691
00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:41.159
<v Speaker 2>so maybe he realized, hey, lawsuits are fun. I can

692
00:34:41.239 --> 00:34:43.360
<v Speaker 2>make a lot of money. Maybe that's what it is.

693
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:47.480
<v Speaker 2>So maybe that I, you know, I don't want to

694
00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:49.639
<v Speaker 2>say he's doing this it means he's poor, because again,

695
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:51.559
<v Speaker 2>if you're you feel like you're entitled to money and

696
00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:53.840
<v Speaker 2>then you know there's wrong with going and getting it.

697
00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:56.639
<v Speaker 2>But you know, some people get so happy, and maybe

698
00:34:56.679 --> 00:34:59.079
<v Speaker 2>Reggie Bush is that guy. All right, let's talk about

699
00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Jefferson Animal Hospit shall we don't forget about their big

700

<v Speaker 2>event coming up. The blood bank that they've got is rare.

701
00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:07.400
<v Speaker 2>You don't see it in a lot of places that

702
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:09.079
<v Speaker 2>do what they do, but they are proud of it,

703
00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:10.760
<v Speaker 2>and that's why they're having this big event to show

<v Speaker 2>cat can be a blood donor just like you can.

707
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:22.159
<v Speaker 2>And it may be something you're thinking, Okay, I didn't

708
00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:23.800
<v Speaker 2>even know this was a thing. Well, they know that,

709
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:26.239
