00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.000
<v Speaker 4>Man, I'm doing good. I'm doing good in fact, but

28
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:35.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm keeping my fingers cross because I would love for

29
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:39.200
<v Speaker 4>it to be this sunny, this kind of temperature this

30
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:40.120
<v Speaker 4>time next week.

31
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:43.239
<v Speaker 2>I mean, who's to say it won't be right. I mean,

32
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.319
<v Speaker 2>this is the kind of year where you really like

33
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.439
<v Speaker 2>you could get really warm for you know, late October,

34
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:50.319
<v Speaker 2>or you could get you could get really cold. I

35
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.000
<v Speaker 2>feel like lately a week, I feel like lately Halloween

36
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.159
<v Speaker 2>has been more on the colder and even rainy side.

37
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:56.879
<v Speaker 2>Maybe my memory's bad, but I feel like we've had

38
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:58.519
<v Speaker 2>some bad luck with with Halloween lately.

39
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.400
<v Speaker 4>And that's why, and that's why I think we could

40
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:03.760
<v Speaker 4>we could really use some good luck.

41
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:05.359
<v Speaker 3>We're do We're do right.

42
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we'll speak it into existence. We will believe in

43
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 2>the power of positivity. All right, Let's I want to

44
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:13.280
<v Speaker 2>start with most recent and then work our way back

45
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.639
<v Speaker 2>so Kentucky last night, first exhibition game of the Mark

46
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 2>Pope era. Obviously they played really well, drained a bunch

47
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.919
<v Speaker 2>of threes. You can tell quite clearly the style of

48
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.800
<v Speaker 2>play Mark Pope is bringing with him to Kentucky. But

49
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.039
<v Speaker 2>I want to get your thoughts on your you know,

50
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.439
<v Speaker 2>obviously you've covered Kentucky for quite a while now, as

51
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:33.080
<v Speaker 2>well as all the other local teams. What was it

52
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:34.919
<v Speaker 2>like to have a new guy there? Cali Perry was

53
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 2>there for a long time, and Cal's got his way

54
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 2>of going about things. What was the experience like from

55
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.280
<v Speaker 2>your perspective, just, you know, covering a game even though

56
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:44.240
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't a real one, but the first, you know,

57
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>the first exhibition of this new era.

58
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:50.759
<v Speaker 4>Well, I wasn't I wasn't at RUP last night, but

59
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:56.000
<v Speaker 4>I will say, you know, just the vibe around both

60
00:02:56.039 --> 00:03:00.199
<v Speaker 4>programs are just so different right now and and some

61
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:06.719
<v Speaker 4>ways there it's pretty refreshing because you know I and

62
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:07.560
<v Speaker 4>just to talk to.

63
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:09.639
<v Speaker 2>I think it's refreshing in every way from my perspective.

64
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.759
<v Speaker 2>That's just me and Buddy.

65
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.719
<v Speaker 4>I don't blame you, but I think with I think

66
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.080
<v Speaker 4>with like Kentucky. You know, Cal had been there, for

67
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.319
<v Speaker 4>fifteen years, and so everything it was almost like rints

68
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.800
<v Speaker 4>repat repeat on everything, and you knew kind of how

69
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.560
<v Speaker 4>exactly everything was going to go and how he was

70
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.240
<v Speaker 4>going to react and all this other stuff. And so

71
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:37.240
<v Speaker 4>you know, he's he's at Arkansas now and Mark Pope's here,

72
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.560
<v Speaker 4>and he's he seems like he's loving it. But also

73
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 4>it's like, Okay, there's a new style, there's new players,

74
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 4>there's you know, you're going through so many things, and

75
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.159
<v Speaker 4>you're watching this coach go through so many things for

76
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:55.039
<v Speaker 4>a first time, and you're constantly learning about little things,

77
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.599
<v Speaker 4>and you know, I think, you know, I was already

78
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.400
<v Speaker 4>in Louisville when I think Poe brought his Utah Valley

79
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.479
<v Speaker 4>State team to Reperena one time. But I wasn't there

80
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.599
<v Speaker 4>that night. I don't remember watching Mark Pope coach coach

81
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:10.280
<v Speaker 4>a game, but I was even on TV or on

82
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 4>the internet last night. I remember just kind of watching

83
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.240
<v Speaker 4>even just kind of trying to Okay, what what is

84
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:19.959
<v Speaker 4>he all about? Excuse me? In these moments, it's just

85
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:24.879
<v Speaker 4>a it's a completely different deal, and so and there

86
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 4>and all of these things are steps in the process.

87
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.279
<v Speaker 4>So like last night was the first exhibition game, and

88
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.000
<v Speaker 4>then there'll be a first one, and then there'll be

89
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.279
<v Speaker 4>some you know, like games against directional schools. But then

90
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.439
<v Speaker 4>you know, and and and it happens for both Louisvood Kentucky.

91
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.399
<v Speaker 4>Not long you start playing big boys, yep, and then

92
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.040
<v Speaker 4>you really get to learn what Pope and Kelsey are

93
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:46.759
<v Speaker 4>all about.

94
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you know, I maybe I'm just naive, but

95
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:54.199
<v Speaker 2>I get the sense that these two guys, both Pope

96
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 2>and Kelsey, are extremely genuine with really just about everything

97
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.040
<v Speaker 2>they say. I mean, obviously they're given answers and saying

98
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 2>things that you would expect a coach to say at

99
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.319
<v Speaker 2>these type of programs, and you know, given what the

100
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:09.560
<v Speaker 2>job is. But like, I think both of these guys

101
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:14.000
<v Speaker 2>are super passionate about where they are and really appreciative

102
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:17.040
<v Speaker 2>of the job they have, and that's refreshing to both

103
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:19.439
<v Speaker 2>of these fan bases. Just to give you an example,

104
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:21.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's intentional, but there were a lot

105
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.040
<v Speaker 2>of things that Cali Perry did, other than losing to

106
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.319
<v Speaker 2>Oakland and Saint Peter's and whatnot, that really seemed to

107
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:29.839
<v Speaker 2>drive that fan base mad. As far as just some

108
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:31.360
<v Speaker 2>of the things he would say just cal Be and

109
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.319
<v Speaker 2>Cal and I think Pope, you know, he goes about

110
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:37.759
<v Speaker 2>it so much differently, and again I don't think it's intentional.

111
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure he's trying to, you know, remind people

112
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 2>that he's different than Cal. But like he's checking all

113
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.279
<v Speaker 2>the boxes. And I think Kentucky fans are experiencing joy

114
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.079
<v Speaker 2>that like they forgot was when it comes to like, hey,

115
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:52.519
<v Speaker 2>our coaches, he likes us, he likes our fan base.

116
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:53.959
<v Speaker 2>He's going to be nice to us. He's not going

117
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:55.560
<v Speaker 2>to talk to us like we're stupid. Oh, he's going

118
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>to take questions from from some of us in the

119
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.399
<v Speaker 2>in the crowd during the postgame radio in you again,

120
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.120
<v Speaker 2>you got to win at these two places, there's no

121
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.360
<v Speaker 2>doubt about it. But I think both fans are really

122
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:07.759
<v Speaker 2>really all in on these guys because again they haven't played,

123
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:09.519
<v Speaker 2>they haven't coached a game yet, and we know that matters.

124
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:11.959
<v Speaker 2>But I think there's some real genuiness with both these guys,

125
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.720
<v Speaker 2>and I think for different reasons, both fan bases really

126
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:15.240
<v Speaker 2>needed that.

127
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:21.519
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, I always think like Cali Perry kind

128
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.759
<v Speaker 4>of lives his life like with a with a chip

129
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.240
<v Speaker 4>on his shoulder from you know, from from whatever. So

130
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.639
<v Speaker 4>I always think he lived his life with a chip

131
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:32.839
<v Speaker 4>on his shoulder, or he lives his life with a

132
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:34.839
<v Speaker 4>chip on his shoulder, and then all of a sudden,

133
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:39.560
<v Speaker 4>like what he doesn't understand is is that way is

134
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:44.000
<v Speaker 4>fine when you're going to final fours, you know, And

135
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.839
<v Speaker 4>it's almost like, you know, he almost like, hey, why

136
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:52.639
<v Speaker 4>would you ever question me on this? You know, Yeah,

137
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:55.920
<v Speaker 4>I'm a Hall of Famer. You can't question anything. And

138
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:58.720
<v Speaker 4>so whether whether that's the media, whether that's the fans,

139
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:02.000
<v Speaker 4>but but guess what, when you're going to final fours,

140
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.000
<v Speaker 4>your fan base will eat out of the palm of

141
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.000
<v Speaker 4>your hand yep. When they don't when you're when you

142
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:10.800
<v Speaker 4>stop going to final fours over a period of time

143
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.360
<v Speaker 4>and it doesn't look like you're headed back there anytime soon,

144
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:17.879
<v Speaker 4>they will bite off your hand. And that's what he

145
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:21.720
<v Speaker 4>and that's what he experienced, Mark Pope. It feels like

146
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:28.040
<v Speaker 4>he is, you know, it almost feels like he from

147
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 4>his time as a player at Kentucky and then being

148
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.800
<v Speaker 4>in the NBA in his experience like he almost feels

149
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:39.399
<v Speaker 4>like he is just lucky to be where he is

150
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:44.000
<v Speaker 4>and he's super appreciative of everything that happens. That's the

151
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.160
<v Speaker 4>vibe that he gets out Pat Kelsey very much, the

152
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:52.000
<v Speaker 4>appreciation vibe definitely is putting out that vibe. Now here's

153
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:53.879
<v Speaker 4>what we're going to learn about both of these guys

154
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:55.879
<v Speaker 4>when it's not going good.

155
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:56.360
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

156
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.199
<v Speaker 2>And that's when it's much to her to predict.

157
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:04.879
<v Speaker 4>And and so like whether you think something is genuine

158
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.199
<v Speaker 4>or whether you think it's you know, fake or this

159
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.480
<v Speaker 4>or this, When it doesn't go good, that's what reveals

160
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.759
<v Speaker 4>true character. And that's what we're gonna find out about

161
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:15.560
<v Speaker 4>both of these guys.

162
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:17.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and it maybe rather early.

163
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:19.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, Kentucky's going to take on this

164
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:22.079
<v Speaker 2>talented duke team in the Champions Classic and look, they

165
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.800
<v Speaker 2>may beat them, you never know, but you know they've

166
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:27.279
<v Speaker 2>got potentially the number one player in America. And then

167
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:30.920
<v Speaker 2>obviously Louisville's got Tennessee in their second regular season games,

168
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.919
<v Speaker 2>so who knows. Maybe both teams find ways to win,

169
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:35.799
<v Speaker 2>but you're right, and again, those aren't those aren't you know,

170
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:38.120
<v Speaker 2>bad losses if you if both teams were to slip up.

171
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:41.600
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, that there's no doubt seeing how fans react

172
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:44.720
<v Speaker 2>and really seeing how coaches handle a potential setback that

173
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:46.919
<v Speaker 2>is viewed by everybody as you know, we shouldn't have

174
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.440
<v Speaker 2>lost that game. We were not playing nearly as good

175
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:51.000
<v Speaker 2>as we should be, and that's gonna happen. It's a

176
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.799
<v Speaker 2>long season, and you're right that we're gonna learn. We're

177
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:55.919
<v Speaker 2>learning things every day about these guys as they're in

178
00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:58.000
<v Speaker 2>their new positions. But that's the one that I'm most

179
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.320
<v Speaker 2>eager to see, is you know, what kind of vibe

180
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:02.840
<v Speaker 2>are we getting from them if maybe there is a

181
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.919
<v Speaker 2>stretch of the season where things aren't going very well.

182
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:08.279
<v Speaker 2>Now let's switch gears here to Louisville football, because things

183
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:12.000
<v Speaker 2>haven't been going very well this season. They've lost three games,

184
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.480
<v Speaker 2>all to good teams. And I still happen to believe

185
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:17.279
<v Speaker 2>that this team actually has some good pieces and they've

186
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:18.960
<v Speaker 2>got a chance to you know, I mean, I think

187
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:21.519
<v Speaker 2>they can win every game left on the schedule.

188
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:22.679
<v Speaker 3>Now will they do it, I don't know.

189
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they've been pretty consistent as far as being

190
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:27.960
<v Speaker 2>a team that does make some crucial mistakes at bad times,

191
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:30.039
<v Speaker 2>and that's why they're sitting at four and three and

192
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:32.080
<v Speaker 2>two and two overall. And now they're going to be

193
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:34.679
<v Speaker 2>without one of their top receivers in Colin Lacey, who

194
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.879
<v Speaker 2>decided to opt out, taking advantage of the red shirt

195
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:40.960
<v Speaker 2>rule where if he played another snap, he would not

196
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.120
<v Speaker 2>have the ability to come back in twenty twenty five

197
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:45.720
<v Speaker 2>because he's opted out now he does. I mean, just

198
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:49.120
<v Speaker 2>your overall thoughts on this decision. I mean, it's not

199
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:51.519
<v Speaker 2>a big surprise in the grand scheme of things because

200
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.399
<v Speaker 2>of where college sports.

201
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:54.200
<v Speaker 3>Is right now.

202
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:56.120
<v Speaker 2>But I think for Louisville fans, at least from what

203
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.120
<v Speaker 2>I can tell when I do what I can as

204
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.799
<v Speaker 2>far as a checking of the poll, this is the

205
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:02.639
<v Speaker 2>first time I think Louisville fans have been hitting the

206
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.120
<v Speaker 2>gut with a guy just you know, taking advantage of

207
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:05.759
<v Speaker 2>this new world.

208
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.039
<v Speaker 5>Oh well, you know what, I wouldn't say it's the

209
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:13.879
<v Speaker 5>first time they've been hitting the gut because remember, like

210
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:17.919
<v Speaker 5>in the spring, Anny Boone.

211
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:22.120
<v Speaker 4>Bounced, bounced, you know what I mean. Like, so, I

212
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:25.080
<v Speaker 4>mean this is that that's that's a that's a harsh reality,

213
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.279
<v Speaker 4>but this is this is also part of it. Look,

214
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:29.240
<v Speaker 4>you know, it's kind of like those things that can

215
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:31.720
<v Speaker 4>you really blame the player, you know, like he's he's

216
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:36.480
<v Speaker 4>taken advantage of his rule because he's trying to either

217
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:40.480
<v Speaker 4>he wants a full season healthy, whether maybe he feels

218
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:43.159
<v Speaker 4>like he's done enough and he could back in the

219
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.440
<v Speaker 4>portal and maybe really get paid somewhere. Like you know,

220
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.759
<v Speaker 4>he's trying to you know, the young man and his

221
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.240
<v Speaker 4>agent or his people or whatever, they're just trying to

222
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:56.960
<v Speaker 4>make the best of their situation. And sometimes it's gonna

223
00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:59.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, the school is gonna to pay the price

224
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:01.919
<v Speaker 4>in this and that's kind of that's kind of where

225
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:04.799
<v Speaker 4>we are now. But for him, he probably sees this as, look,

226
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:08.240
<v Speaker 4>I got one chance, Like the window is small, and

227
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:10.679
<v Speaker 4>so whatever that window looks like, I got to take

228
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:14.000
<v Speaker 4>advantage of it. And so it's you know, especially with

229
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:16.559
<v Speaker 4>Jayden Thompson being out for the year, it's a it's

230
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.919
<v Speaker 4>a really really tough blow to this offense moving forward

231
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:25.440
<v Speaker 4>because remember they lose him, They just lost Jamari Johnson

232
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:27.799
<v Speaker 4>for the year, and he had been their best tied

233
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:28.480
<v Speaker 4>end by far.

234
00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:32.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I think, I mean, I see it from

235
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:34.200
<v Speaker 2>both sides. I see why fans are like, well, wait

236
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:36.480
<v Speaker 2>a second, this guy just doesn't want to play anymore.

237
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:39.840
<v Speaker 2>But it's because this is now a job for these

238
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:42.279
<v Speaker 2>student athletes. I mean, we can still call them that

239
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:44.840
<v Speaker 2>because I guess technically their students as well. But I

240
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:48.720
<v Speaker 2>mean he's utilizing not really a loophole. He's just making

241
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:51.879
<v Speaker 2>the most of the current situation. And I think if

242
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:53.480
<v Speaker 2>he's not an NFL guy, which I'm not sure if

243
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:55.279
<v Speaker 2>he is or not, I mean, he could play another

244
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:58.720
<v Speaker 2>year of college football and potentially put away some nil

245
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:00.399
<v Speaker 2>money that would probably be a lot more more than

246
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.559
<v Speaker 2>whatever his entry level position would be in his first

247
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:05.919
<v Speaker 2>job after football. I mean, who knows how it works

248
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:08.159
<v Speaker 2>out for him, But I just think if people were

249
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:10.679
<v Speaker 2>in that situation, and it's it's hard to relate to

250
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:11.960
<v Speaker 2>these players. I mean a lot of us are a

251
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.480
<v Speaker 2>lot older than them, and this is still relatively new

252
00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:16.440
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to just how things have been for

253
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:17.840
<v Speaker 2>so long in college athletics.

254
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:19.200
<v Speaker 3>But if you're at a job and.

255
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:20.759
<v Speaker 2>You have a chance to do some things that could

256
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.200
<v Speaker 2>potentially benefit you and your career from not only you know,

257
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.639
<v Speaker 2>a successful standpoint, meaning where maybe you go play for

258
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:28.559
<v Speaker 2>a better team, or maybe you put away more money,

259
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:30.320
<v Speaker 2>like I think most of us would do the same thing.

260
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:34.639
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, and look, you know the one thing that

261
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:37.000
<v Speaker 4>I that I see in all of that is is,

262
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, he's got to catch against Notre Dame. He's

263
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:43.200
<v Speaker 4>got the game tape against Miami, the kickoff return, some

264
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:45.360
<v Speaker 4>of the plays that he made as a wide receiver

265
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:50.080
<v Speaker 4>in that game, and he's doing that against a good team.

266
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:52.799
<v Speaker 4>That's a pretty good resume to put on if you

267
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:53.559
<v Speaker 4>go to the portal.

268
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:54.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, right now.

269
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.279
<v Speaker 4>Look, I saw the same thing that everybody saw, Like

270
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.360
<v Speaker 4>the agent, Hey, we're working hard to get a deal

271
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:04.360
<v Speaker 4>to you know, return back. It's a strong possibility of

272
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:07.159
<v Speaker 4>returning back to Louisville in twenty twenty five. Now, let

273
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.000
<v Speaker 4>me ask you, Nick, would you be surprised if he

274
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:10.399
<v Speaker 4>ends up in the portal? Oh?

275
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:12.480
<v Speaker 2>No, I my prediction. I put this out there at

276
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:14.080
<v Speaker 2>three o'clock. I just said, if I had to guess

277
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:16.879
<v Speaker 2>how this plays out, they'll still play nice with Louisville

278
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:19.799
<v Speaker 2>meeting him and his agent, who's probably somebody the same

279
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:25.200
<v Speaker 2>age as him, and they will be available to negotiate

280
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:27.039
<v Speaker 2>with other schools and they'll keep Louisville in mind, and

281
00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:29.759
<v Speaker 2>he'll probably get a big offer from a team that

282
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:32.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe has a you know, has more momentum

283
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:33.480
<v Speaker 2>at that time for the next season. Like I mean,

284
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:35.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm not I wouldn't be stunned if he ends up

285
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.039
<v Speaker 2>back at Louisville. But I think he will absolutely go

286
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:38.679
<v Speaker 2>to the Portal. And my guess is that he'll end

287
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:41.120
<v Speaker 2>up elsewhere next year because he'll probably get a lot

288
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:42.960
<v Speaker 2>of money and it'll probably be a team that at

289
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:45.879
<v Speaker 2>that point maybe has a better outlook on twenty twenty

290
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:48.440
<v Speaker 2>five than Louisville does. Like that, That's that's my guess.

291
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:51.440
<v Speaker 4>Now, now here's the thing. You and I are on

292
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:56.039
<v Speaker 4>the same page. Yeah, yeah, just what just just that

293
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:59.960
<v Speaker 4>that's the that's the nature of the business. And yep,

294
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.399
<v Speaker 4>you know for these coaches, you know, coaching is just

295
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:03.919
<v Speaker 4>half the.

296
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.879
<v Speaker 2>Job, seemingly even less than half at time's man with

297
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:09.840
<v Speaker 2>all with with everything that goes into it.

298
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:14.240
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, I mean that's why, you know, that's why

299
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:16.600
<v Speaker 4>like if you're in a program that could kind of

300
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:18.720
<v Speaker 4>like afford it and you could do it, it's it

301
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:21.200
<v Speaker 4>would be great for these people to have, you know,

302
00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:24.759
<v Speaker 4>like gms, you know, general managers and roles where you

303
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:27.240
<v Speaker 4>don't have to worry about it as much. But you

304
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:31.039
<v Speaker 4>know that's you know, only probably precious few can can

305
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:32.679
<v Speaker 4>probably afford something like that.

306
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's uh again, I get why from like an

307
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:38.879
<v Speaker 2>emotional fan standpoint, like they just think, man.

308
00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:40.360
<v Speaker 3>This sucks. I totally get it.

309
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:43.879
<v Speaker 2>But also I think, you know, eventually, I don't know

310
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:47.360
<v Speaker 2>if it'll be next year, five years from now, it'll

311
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:50.200
<v Speaker 2>be just an everyday thing where you realize guys are too.

312
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:53.039
<v Speaker 2>Now with Colin it is worth mentioning. His injury certainly

313
00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:55.000
<v Speaker 2>is a huge factor here because if he never got injured,

314
00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:57.600
<v Speaker 2>he had played and he wouldn't even have this opportunity.

315
00:14:57.639 --> 00:14:59.440
<v Speaker 2>His injury, which again he came to Louisville, he got

316
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:02.559
<v Speaker 2>hurt that impacted his ability to play a full season

317
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:04.919
<v Speaker 2>in his last year. So his situation is a little

318
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:06.919
<v Speaker 2>unique as far as the timing here, but as far

319
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:09.480
<v Speaker 2>as dudes just realizing, hey, I can go ahead and

320
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:11.600
<v Speaker 2>just stop play and quit, as they say, opt out,

321
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:13.440
<v Speaker 2>whatever you want to call it, and that'll give me

322
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:15.639
<v Speaker 2>a chance to go play elsewhere and have another year.

323
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:17.559
<v Speaker 2>Or even if I don't make as much money as

324
00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:19.799
<v Speaker 2>I made this past year, I can leave now and

325
00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:22.679
<v Speaker 2>have you know, if I don't leave and I keep playing,

326
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:25.200
<v Speaker 2>then I won't have any money. So it's it's a

327
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:27.360
<v Speaker 2>new world, no doubt. Right, Let's go to Kentucky because

328
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:29.279
<v Speaker 2>I feel like we're doing reruns here when we talk

329
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky football camp, because they've had a couple of you know,

330
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:34.919
<v Speaker 2>real disappointing losses. In the last you know, losing to

331
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.919
<v Speaker 2>Vandy at home. I mean, it's not what it usually is,

332
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:40.919
<v Speaker 2>but still it's Vandy. And you know, obviously Kentucky wasn't

333
00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:42.200
<v Speaker 2>as if they went out there and just lost to

334
00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Vandy because Vandy was so talented. And then they go

335
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:46.919
<v Speaker 2>on the road to Florida, a team that you know,

336
00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:48.600
<v Speaker 2>most people assume is going to move on from their

337
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:51.039
<v Speaker 2>coach at some point. They lose that game by four touchdowns.

338
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:53.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean I keep thinking, okay, well, eventually if they

339
00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:56.559
<v Speaker 2>lose one, then it's really gonna be bad for Stoops

340
00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:58.120
<v Speaker 2>and the fan base is going to be as toxic

341
00:15:58.159 --> 00:15:59.720
<v Speaker 2>as ever. But like I kind of feel like there

342
00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:02.039
<v Speaker 2>are there here is they get set to this Auburn matchup.

343
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:07.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. In fact, I would argue that like that that

344
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:12.600
<v Speaker 4>Georgia game and the Old Miss game for them, Like,

345
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:15.759
<v Speaker 4>I don't know where those two games came from, but

346
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:20.039
<v Speaker 4>that's not what this football team is. The outliers, right, Yeah,

347
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:25.320
<v Speaker 4>And so that's what you know, that's what we found out.

348
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:28.799
<v Speaker 4>I think this past Saturday at Florida was those two games.

349
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:34.240
<v Speaker 4>Those were really the outliers. And no, I I think

350
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:37.799
<v Speaker 4>the whole thing is in. I think it's like they

351
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.799
<v Speaker 4>could be staring at a just a massive downfall for

352
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:46.559
<v Speaker 4>the rest of the season. Like I I'll be honest

353
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:48.399
<v Speaker 4>with you, Like as I as I look at their

354
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:50.960
<v Speaker 4>their game this this Saturday against auburne like, I don't

355
00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:53.840
<v Speaker 4>think they win that game. And then I think they

356
00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:56.519
<v Speaker 4>got Murray State coming up in in a few weeks

357
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:59.200
<v Speaker 4>or whatever. You know, that's the that's the game they win,

358
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:01.679
<v Speaker 4>but they may not win another game for the rest

359
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:02.120
<v Speaker 4>of the year.

360
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean they got Tennessee in Texas, which there

361
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:07.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, those are really really good teams. You have

362
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:09.799
<v Speaker 2>to go play, and you're playing poorly and losing to

363
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:12.960
<v Speaker 2>teams like Vandy and Auburn. I mean them winning four

364
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:15.079
<v Speaker 2>or five games is certainly on the table, right.

365
00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:20.200
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, And so you know, I think there's a

366
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:25.000
<v Speaker 4>couple sayings like losing Maxwell Harriston, who is an unbelievable

367
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:27.119
<v Speaker 4>cover corner that's really hurt their defense.

368
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:28.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we'll see him on Saturday.

369
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:31.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they've they've had a couple of injuries in their

370
00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:35.519
<v Speaker 4>secondary that have really hurt them on the back end.

371
00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:38.839
<v Speaker 4>And so I think they're doing a pretty good job

372
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:42.359
<v Speaker 4>against the run up front. But man, if you if

373
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:45.279
<v Speaker 4>you won't have the pieces back there that can that

374
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:50.000
<v Speaker 4>could cover and hold up, man, you're really going to struggle.

375
00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:53.480
<v Speaker 4>And that's what's that's what's happening to them with their

376
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:56.960
<v Speaker 4>defense back there on the secondary. And then look it

377
00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:59.039
<v Speaker 4>come it comes down to this, Like I get it

378
00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:02.160
<v Speaker 4>early in the year, never played, you know, never started

379
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:05.119
<v Speaker 4>college games, never really started an SEC game like that.

380
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:09.839
<v Speaker 4>Stuff's gonna take some time. But Brock Vandergriff struggling, yep,

381
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:12.799
<v Speaker 4>and it does not the pieces around ing, And so

382
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:16.680
<v Speaker 4>it is it. You have to be able to do

383
00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:19.599
<v Speaker 4>the simple things when it comes to throwing and catching.

384
00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:22.400
<v Speaker 4>Like it. You can run the ball and you can

385
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:24.640
<v Speaker 4>be fifty to fifty balanced, but every now and then

386
00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:26.359
<v Speaker 4>you're gonna have to pick up a third and eight.

387
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:29.240
<v Speaker 4>And so when you get the ball as a quarterback,

388
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:32.640
<v Speaker 4>you've got to be able to plant your foot, read

389
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:36.279
<v Speaker 4>a defense step, and throw with confidence. And I just

390
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:39.440
<v Speaker 4>don't if he does it, he does it five to

391
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:42.559
<v Speaker 4>ten percent of the time, and that's just not good. Enough.

392
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:46.720
<v Speaker 4>So I just don't. I just think that they took

393
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:49.839
<v Speaker 4>a stab at a at a highly touted high school

394
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:53.160
<v Speaker 4>quarterback that just never got his chance at Georgia. They

395
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:56.119
<v Speaker 4>thought he would be it. They were hoping because it's

396
00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:59.319
<v Speaker 4>the same formula that they used with like a Will Levis,

397
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:02.920
<v Speaker 4>they hoped they were able to strike lightning twice. It

398
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:04.680
<v Speaker 4>just isn't It just isn't working out.

399
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:10.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I mean, the thought of them going

400
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:13.279
<v Speaker 2>four and eight or five and seven. I mean, again,

401
00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:15.720
<v Speaker 2>as we discussed, it's clearly on the table. But I

402
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:17.279
<v Speaker 2>mean that would be the first time where I think

403
00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:20.480
<v Speaker 2>a Kentucky team under Mark Stoops. You could because they've

404
00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:22.240
<v Speaker 2>had years where they weren't that good, where their wins

405
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:24.039
<v Speaker 2>didn't get them to a bowl game or anything like that.

406
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:25.720
<v Speaker 2>But this would be I think the first time where

407
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:28.759
<v Speaker 2>objectively everybody would have to say they should have been

408
00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:29.440
<v Speaker 2>a lot better.

409
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:29.680
<v Speaker 3>Right.

410
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I know they've had injuries and they do have a

411
00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:33.799
<v Speaker 2>tough schedule, clearly, but like this would be I think,

412
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:36.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, a Stoop season that would be different than

413
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:38.039
<v Speaker 2>than the others that were underwhelming.

414
00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:42.720
<v Speaker 4>Well, and let's be honest, right, like the pieces the

415
00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:46.799
<v Speaker 4>pieces around all of it. It all centered on the quarterback.

416
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:51.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and it's an important position.

417
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:53.079
<v Speaker 4>Pro talked about it a bunch in fall camp, like

418
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:55.359
<v Speaker 4>what's he gonna look? Like, what's he gonna And by

419
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:59.799
<v Speaker 4>the way, he's like his arm talent is like the

420
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.759
<v Speaker 4>reason why some people write poetry, Like he can he's

421
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:07.799
<v Speaker 4>got a cannon. But if you can't read a defense,

422
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:10.200
<v Speaker 4>or you can't make a decision and step and throw

423
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:14.039
<v Speaker 4>with confidence and deliver accurate footballs, then then you're not

424
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:16.720
<v Speaker 4>doing anything. And like on the flip side, right, like

425
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:22.559
<v Speaker 4>Tyler Shuck at Louisville, like nobody really knew he showed flashes,

426
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:25.519
<v Speaker 4>but nobody ever saw it. So Shuck was kind of

427
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:28.880
<v Speaker 4>a question Martin going into this season. And did you

428
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:31.559
<v Speaker 4>see the ball, the twenty one yard touchdown pass that

429
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:33.920
<v Speaker 4>he threw to Jacory Brooks, Like that's putting your foot

430
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:36.240
<v Speaker 4>in the ground and that's that. And by the way,

431
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:38.759
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if you've seen the throw from the zone,

432
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:41.640
<v Speaker 4>like it feels like the ball should have been picked,

433
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:47.319
<v Speaker 4>but he just threaded a needle. He's like, whatever you

434
00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:49.440
<v Speaker 4>need as a quarterback, Shuck has it.

435
00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:53.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that's what unfortunate for Louisville that, you know,

436
00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:55.720
<v Speaker 2>and they could still finish the season strong. We'll see

437
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:57.480
<v Speaker 2>what happens the rest of the way. But I think

438
00:20:57.599 --> 00:20:59.519
<v Speaker 2>I was listening to one of the NFL Draft podcast

439
00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:01.880
<v Speaker 2>earlier this week, and he's not mentioned as somebody they

440
00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:03.680
<v Speaker 2>expect to be, you know, one of the top guys

441
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:06.359
<v Speaker 2>in this draft. But one of the analysts mentioned that

442
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:09.039
<v Speaker 2>he's at Louisville been able to show some things with

443
00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:11.559
<v Speaker 2>his arm that even when he was healthy at other schools,

444
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:15.039
<v Speaker 2>they never saw before. So yeah, that's one position you

445
00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:16.799
<v Speaker 2>don't have to worry about for Louisville as the quarterback.

446
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:20.000
<v Speaker 2>But you know, they've not been able to close out

447
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:21.480
<v Speaker 2>in some of these bigger games. But can't we got

448
00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:24.559
<v Speaker 2>to run. Always appreciate the conversation, my man, fingers crossed.

449
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:26.359
<v Speaker 2>Let's hope we get some good weather a week from today.

450
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:29.400
<v Speaker 4>All right, yes, sir, thank you buddy.

451
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Take care again. That's Kid Spencer from WHAS eleven. Good

452
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:34.960
<v Speaker 2>conversation each and every week with our man Kent quick break.

453
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:37.200
<v Speaker 2>We'll come back on the other side and myself and

454
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:40.319
<v Speaker 2>the company man, we got some games to discuss for

455
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:43.359
<v Speaker 2>this weekend. John's out tomorrow, so we'll talk about well

456
00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:45.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll give him the Florida share his picks. I've got

457
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:47.759
<v Speaker 2>a few, but almost feel bad sharing him. You should

458
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:48.200
<v Speaker 2>fade him.

459
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:51.880
<v Speaker 3>That'll be your best bet.

460
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:57.279
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow we were alive from the Alex Rowhite Lawyers offices

461
00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:00.319
<v Speaker 2>for the show from three to six little road trip,

462
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:02.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, not really. I mean it's not very far

463
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:03.480
<v Speaker 2>at all from here, but you know, taking the show

464
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:05.519
<v Speaker 2>on the road, which should be a lot of fun.

465
00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Austin's going to be out there with me. John is out,

466
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:10.400
<v Speaker 2>but we'll try to carry on without him. Easier said

467
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:12.519
<v Speaker 2>than done, but we're certainly going to give it a shot.

468
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:14.839
<v Speaker 2>And then pregame show will start at six thirty, the

469
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:18.519
<v Speaker 2>Louisville Football Pregame Show presented by Pellow Windows and Doors

470
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:20.880
<v Speaker 2>of Central Kentucky and Jefferson Animal Hospital. And then it'll

471
00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:23.880
<v Speaker 2>be a late night Tomorrow night. Me and my man Carl,

472
00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:28.480
<v Speaker 2>that's right, isn't his name? Carl Blanton in the house

473
00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:31.880
<v Speaker 2>to produce as we react to whatever happens tomorrow night

474
00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:33.599
<v Speaker 2>in Chestnut Hills. So as soon as the game ends,

475
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:35.920
<v Speaker 2>we go live taking your phone calls. Probably a lot

476
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:37.759
<v Speaker 2>of drunk people, which usually is a lot of fun

477
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:40.400
<v Speaker 2>and it's even more fun whenever Louisville wins.

478
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:41.640
<v Speaker 3>So let's hope that that's the case.

479
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:43.440
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to be drunk to listen or call in,

480
00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:45.440
<v Speaker 2>but you know, I can tell you there's probably going

481
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:48.559
<v Speaker 2>to be some folks late at night on a Friday for.

482
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:49.279
<v Speaker 3>One of two reasons.

483
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:53.640
<v Speaker 2>They're drinking, they're paying away, or they're celebrating because Louisville

484
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:56.359
<v Speaker 2>avoided what would be a bad loss to Boston College.

485
00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:59.799
<v Speaker 2>But whatever happens, we'll react. It's the Louisville Football postgame Show,

486
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:04.160
<v Speaker 2>presented by alex Ry Lawyer's suit distracted driver dot Com.

487
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:05.720
<v Speaker 2>All right, so real quick, before we get into some

488
00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:08.799
<v Speaker 2>of our picks, have you seen what's going on with

489
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:13.759
<v Speaker 2>this Kansas and Arkansas charity scrimmage exhibition.

490
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:15.559
<v Speaker 6>I knew that they were having one, but I didn't

491
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:17.839
<v Speaker 6>know they were so maybe controversy that we about to

492
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:18.240
<v Speaker 6>get into it.

493
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:20.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's not I don't know if it's controversy,

494
00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:22.079
<v Speaker 2>but like this is so cow one.

495
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:25.119
<v Speaker 3>His first presser to get set.

496
00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:28.279
<v Speaker 2>For a game, which again this is an exhibition, his

497
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:31.519
<v Speaker 2>first pressure at Arkansas to talk about an upcoming opponent.

498
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:35.599
<v Speaker 2>He sent Kenny Payne. He did see that he nos showed.

499
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:38.559
<v Speaker 2>I swear to God, John, and I don't do that often.

500
00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:42.319
<v Speaker 2>I thought about seeing if that was a zoom presser

501
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:46.519
<v Speaker 2>option and getting on there and asking Kenny Payne about

502
00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:49.480
<v Speaker 2>why sucks so bad at Louisville. I would have gone viral.

503
00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:51.039
<v Speaker 2>I would have looked like an aol to some people,

504
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:52.279
<v Speaker 2>but it also would have been funny.

505
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:53.200
<v Speaker 6>It would have been funny.

506
00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:56.680
<v Speaker 2>But I you know, I guess I'm more mature than

507
00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:59.039
<v Speaker 2>I than I give myself credit for, because I resisted

508
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:03.440
<v Speaker 2>in doing that. But anyways, so, but there's a bunch

509
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:05.200
<v Speaker 2>of injuries, and I guess this thing's going to be

510
00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:08.200
<v Speaker 2>streamed somewhere, like Indiana's playing Tennessee or is it.

511
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:11.160
<v Speaker 6>It's Tennessee and it'll be on SEC Network Plus or whatever.

512
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it'll be a stream and I'm jealous. I wish

513
00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Louisville was playing, you know, an opponent that was believed

514
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:19.359
<v Speaker 2>to be good or expected to be good, just to

515
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:21.920
<v Speaker 2>see where you stand. Again, though, it's not a real game,

516
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:24.359
<v Speaker 2>so if you lose, you're worried that maybe your team's

517
00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:25.720
<v Speaker 2>not as good as you thought they were. And if

518
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:28.160
<v Speaker 2>you win, you don't get any credit for beating a

519
00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:30.279
<v Speaker 2>team that if it was a real game like it

520
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:31.880
<v Speaker 2>would give you a lot of value, you know.

521
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:33.599
<v Speaker 6>What I mean, least you hope it's competitive.

522
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:35.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so Louisville did this a few years ago. In fact,

523
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:38.680
<v Speaker 2>it was Max's best season, that twenty twenty team that

524
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:41.640
<v Speaker 2>ended up being really good. They scrimmaged Ohio State, who

525
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:44.319
<v Speaker 2>was I think borderline top twenty five. Louisville was preseason

526
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:46.839
<v Speaker 2>top ten top five that year, and Ohio State got

527
00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:48.799
<v Speaker 2>them pretty good. But none of us saw box score.

528
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:51.519
<v Speaker 2>None of us saw anything. So it was almost like

529
00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:53.200
<v Speaker 2>you heard about it and you were kind of worried,

530
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:55.640
<v Speaker 2>but you know, without seeing it or even knowing the

531
00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:57.880
<v Speaker 2>final score, you kind of forgot about it. But if

532
00:24:57.920 --> 00:24:59.599
<v Speaker 2>you get to watch it, I mean again, it won't

533
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:02.440
<v Speaker 2>really mean a whole lot. But you know, if you're

534
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:04.400
<v Speaker 2>if you're a diehard fan of your team when it

535
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:06.559
<v Speaker 2>comes to college hoops, and your team has expectations, which

536
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:10.440
<v Speaker 2>obviously Indiana does, I mean Kansas and Arkansas do as well.

537
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:12.640
<v Speaker 6>So it's a chance for Louisville fans to see what

538
00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:13.960
<v Speaker 6>two of your opponents will look like.

539
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:14.480
<v Speaker 3>That's true.

540
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, two teams you're gonna play pretty early, so I

541
00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:19.200
<v Speaker 2>hadn't thought about it that way. But anyways, there's so

542
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:21.160
<v Speaker 2>many guys out for both of these teams that like

543
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:24.480
<v Speaker 2>they're already kind of hinting that it's not going to

544
00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:28.480
<v Speaker 2>be like a real game. So Hunter Dickinson's not going

545
00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:30.880
<v Speaker 2>to play. He hasn't practiced. It sounds like in a

546
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:34.480
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks, uh, Shaquille Moore a transfer to Kansas

547
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:38.000
<v Speaker 2>from Mississippi State, one of their guards, another transfer from Alabama,

548
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:41.279
<v Speaker 2>Ryland Griffin, also a guard, they're going to be out.

549
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:44.880
<v Speaker 2>They're not playing, so you know, Dwan Harris, kJ Adams,

550
00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:48.000
<v Speaker 2>their returning guys are playing. One of their other transfer

551
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:49.759
<v Speaker 2>Zeke Mayo, is going to be playing. But after that,

552
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:51.119
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be a lot of reserves, Like they

553
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:53.119
<v Speaker 2>don't even have a whole lot of bodies. And when

554
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:56.759
<v Speaker 2>it comes to Arkansas, I don't know what kind of

555
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:02.000
<v Speaker 2>injuries they've got going on, but it sounds like, yeah,

556
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:05.599
<v Speaker 2>it says they're gonna be without five players. Some of

557
00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:09.799
<v Speaker 2>it I mean Thiero of course, former Kentucky player Janelle Davis,

558
00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:13.160
<v Speaker 2>one of the top guys in the portal. Also, they're

559
00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:16.079
<v Speaker 2>big guy Adu who transfer from Tennessee. I mean, he's

560
00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:19.440
<v Speaker 2>been limited and has not been in any contact drills

561
00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:21.880
<v Speaker 2>or practices lately, so I mean, to me, it kind

562
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:24.680
<v Speaker 2>of seems like a real waste, but you know whatever,

563
00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:27.839
<v Speaker 2>but Cal implemented a rule here that they're going to

564
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:31.359
<v Speaker 2>play quarters instead of haves and there's actually going to

565
00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:36.319
<v Speaker 2>be some stoppage for practice type situations here for coaches

566
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:39.799
<v Speaker 2>to work on things and show thing. I mean to me,

567
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:43.880
<v Speaker 2>this is Cal doing what Cal does, always wanting to

568
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:46.559
<v Speaker 2>have controlled getting away with things that most wouldn't even

569
00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:49.920
<v Speaker 2>attempt to do, like change this from an actual exhibition

570
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:53.039
<v Speaker 2>scrimmage to we'll play some quarters and maybe let them

571
00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:55.920
<v Speaker 2>play a game a knockout and we'll all yuck it up,

572
00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:57.960
<v Speaker 2>because that's I mean, Cal's.

573
00:26:58.519 --> 00:27:00.559
<v Speaker 3>Cal would probably get killed if everybody was healthy here.

574
00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:03.799
<v Speaker 3>But like then this likes in this a playbook out

575
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:04.160
<v Speaker 3>of Cal's.

576
00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:06.559
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, but I'm sure Kentucky fans are looking from afar

577
00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:08.559
<v Speaker 6>like Okay, I'm glad we're getting away from this guy.

578
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:11.599
<v Speaker 2>And look, I appreciate Kentucky fans who in the now

579
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:13.440
<v Speaker 2>will acknowledge this thing for what it is. And what

580
00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:15.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean by that is like maybe one day there's

581
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:18.240
<v Speaker 2>that Kumba y'a moment with cal and he comes back.

582
00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:21.160
<v Speaker 2>But like right now you can say that you appreciate

583
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:22.839
<v Speaker 2>all that he did and know that it worked out

584
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:26.119
<v Speaker 2>really good for you because he just left. But also

585
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:28.920
<v Speaker 2>to act as if that means you're going to be pulling. No,

586
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:32.400
<v Speaker 2>if this was a real scrimmage, and look it is

587
00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:34.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna be I guess, I mean they're doing quarters. I

588
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:38.200
<v Speaker 2>guess they're keeping score, but like you will clown him

589
00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:41.119
<v Speaker 2>endlessly if they get mopped in this game. And that's okay,

590
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:42.799
<v Speaker 2>that's what this is. He's now the enemy for the

591
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:44.319
<v Speaker 2>time being, and he maybe the enemy long term.

592
00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:44.759
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

593
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:45.559
<v Speaker 4>But like.

594
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:51.359
<v Speaker 2>Mark Pope saying, we we we hope, uh we hope

595
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:55.279
<v Speaker 2>Cayle Pull wins every game with the lessons February first, Uh,

596
00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Like no, Like that's the one time that I heard

597
00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:00.160
<v Speaker 2>Mark Pope and I'm sure he's done it before. Or

598
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:02.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, no, you aren't. Like you can say that,

599
00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:05.079
<v Speaker 2>but that's not playing the hits yet. That's not what

600
00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:07.799
<v Speaker 2>your fans want to hear. Now, they're gonna just assume

601
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:09.960
<v Speaker 2>you're being honest and think that you're great. But like, no,

602
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:13.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean cal left you, and again you're happy left,

603
00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:16.240
<v Speaker 2>but he's he's an ex and you want your ex

604
00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:19.119
<v Speaker 2>to be down bad. Let's be honest here, all right,

605
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:21.200
<v Speaker 2>give me your first pick, actually the first pick, give

606
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:23.400
<v Speaker 2>me be the one you're most confident in this weekend, John.

607
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:25.160
<v Speaker 6>So I've got a couple of different parlays. I won't

608
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:27.279
<v Speaker 6>necessarily give you every little pick, but one thing that

609
00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:30.200
<v Speaker 6>I'm really confident in is Ohio State and minus twenty

610
00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:33.400
<v Speaker 6>five and a half against Nebraska at home. Okay, obviously,

611
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:35.839
<v Speaker 6>you know what happened with Nebraska against Indiana last week,

612
00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:38.880
<v Speaker 6>and I think Ohio State's going to feel some sort

613
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:41.759
<v Speaker 6>of pressure to kind of equal that type of result

614
00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:44.680
<v Speaker 6>against the Nebraska team who may be reeling right now.

615
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:46.799
<v Speaker 6>So that's why I'm pretty confident in so far for

616
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:47.480
<v Speaker 6>my first pick.

617
00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:49.880
<v Speaker 2>My and again, I don't know how confident I am

618
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:52.880
<v Speaker 2>in any of these, if I'm being honest with you.

619
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:59.640
<v Speaker 2>But Oklahoma twenty and a half point dogs to Ole Miss,

620
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:04.319
<v Speaker 2>and Oklahoma just got waxed by South Carolina, and Ole

621
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:07.319
<v Speaker 2>Miss is a better team, but that's too many points.

622
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I know they're a mess. And Britt Venables

623
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:13.799
<v Speaker 2>he needs to start winning or he may not even

624
00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:14.079
<v Speaker 2>be at.

625
00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:15.039
<v Speaker 3>Oklahoma next year.

626
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:19.000
<v Speaker 2>But I look, I mean again, thirty four to three

627
00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:22.519
<v Speaker 2>to Texas, thirty five to nine to South Carolina. But

628
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:25.400
<v Speaker 2>I just don't see them losing this game by three touchdowns.

629
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:27.640
<v Speaker 2>I could see them losing by closer to fourteen or seventeen.

630
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:29.400
<v Speaker 2>And I wouldn't be shocked if they come out and compete,

631
00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:31.839
<v Speaker 2>because you know, I think they are better than what

632
00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:34.480
<v Speaker 2>you've seen up to this point, and Ole Miss I

633
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:36.000
<v Speaker 2>feel like, right now, you got to call it like

634
00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:38.960
<v Speaker 2>it is. They're not terrible, but they're nowhere near a

635
00:29:39.039 --> 00:29:42.400
<v Speaker 2>national championship contender, like everybody said that roster was before

636
00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:45.200
<v Speaker 2>the season started. So again, I won't lie to you

637
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:46.920
<v Speaker 2>and say that I'm like totally confident, but I just

638
00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:48.960
<v Speaker 2>think that's too many points for an Oklahoma team that

639
00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:51.559
<v Speaker 2>still has some pride about them. I would assume they're

640
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:54.599
<v Speaker 2>going to come out and look to compete. So that's

641
00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:56.720
<v Speaker 2>what I'm definitely going to be adding is Oklahoma plus

642
00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:58.519
<v Speaker 2>twenty and a half. I may buy half a point

643
00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:01.079
<v Speaker 2>just to you know, potentially have a push because if

644
00:30:01.079 --> 00:30:03.119
<v Speaker 2>they lose by twenty one, that'd be a tough one

645
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:06.640
<v Speaker 2>to take. But that's one for me that stands out.

646
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:07.039
<v Speaker 3>What about you?

647
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:08.839
<v Speaker 6>Here's another one standing in the Big ten for this one,

648
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:10.759
<v Speaker 6>And this is a team that I feel like, even

649
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:13.680
<v Speaker 6>when they put together good results, they're still getting disrespected

650
00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:15.839
<v Speaker 6>by Vegas. And that's Illinois plus twenty one and a

651
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:17.759
<v Speaker 6>half at Oregon. And I know it's on the road

652
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:20.279
<v Speaker 6>in the West Coast, but Oregon seems to kind of

653
00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:23.000
<v Speaker 6>play down to teams at certain times. And not that

654
00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:25.839
<v Speaker 6>Illinois is a bad team, but they've been competitive against

655
00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:27.960
<v Speaker 6>every team they played and even beaten some of them,

656
00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:31.319
<v Speaker 6>like Michigan, Nebraska. They were competitive against Penn State when

657
00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:33.279
<v Speaker 6>they lost on the road. And I think Illinois will

658
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:35.599
<v Speaker 6>at the very least keep this one within three touchdowns.

659
00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:38.599
<v Speaker 2>I know Alabama fans are losing their mind, but I

660
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:42.240
<v Speaker 2>think they cover seventeen here they're at home. They're better

661
00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:45.880
<v Speaker 2>than Missouri. Missouri was the fakest Top ten team of

662
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:50.519
<v Speaker 2>all time. Like Missouri nearly lost to Boston College. They

663
00:30:50.559 --> 00:30:52.680
<v Speaker 2>really got it again. I mean, you can't control it,

664
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:56.640
<v Speaker 2>but they benefited in a major way from beating a

665
00:30:56.839 --> 00:30:59.039
<v Speaker 2>not legit Ohio State team in a bowl game, and

666
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:01.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean not legit that they didn't have all their

667
00:31:01.200 --> 00:31:04.279
<v Speaker 2>guys play, because Ohio State is the kind of program that, like, no,

668
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:06.440
<v Speaker 2>if we're on the playoff, like all my NFL draft

669
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:08.480
<v Speaker 2>player draft picks are not going to play in that game.

670
00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:11.799
<v Speaker 2>So you know, Missouri, I mean, they barely got by

671
00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:15.559
<v Speaker 2>against Auburn. They did beat you, Mass, but that's you Mass.

672
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:17.480
<v Speaker 2>But then they lost and got their ass kicked by

673
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:20.319
<v Speaker 2>a and m barely beat Vandy, a game they should

674
00:31:20.319 --> 00:31:23.799
<v Speaker 2>have lost. Again, barely beat Boston College. The other games

675
00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:27.880
<v Speaker 2>were against Buffalo and Murray State. So I mean, I'm

676
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:32.079
<v Speaker 2>not buying them in general, and I would take Bama

677
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:35.160
<v Speaker 2>to cover big even if this wasn't the case. But

678
00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:36.799
<v Speaker 2>this makes it to where I can't believe the number

679
00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:41.039
<v Speaker 2>hasn't jumped up more than seventeen because their quarterback, Brady

680
00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:43.079
<v Speaker 2>Cook is not going to play, and then the running

681
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:45.839
<v Speaker 2>back who is their leading rusher also not going to play,

682
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Nate Noel. So I mean, you're without your leading rusher,

683
00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:51.319
<v Speaker 2>without your starting quarterback. Bama is at home. I know

684
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:53.480
<v Speaker 2>they've not. I mean, clearly this is this is this

685
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:56.480
<v Speaker 2>isn't Nick Saban in Alabama. But you know, Bama did

686
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.200
<v Speaker 2>just lose to a good Tennessee team by a touchdown

687
00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:01.839
<v Speaker 2>and they're still just a lot better. I mean, I

688
00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:04.519
<v Speaker 2>think even if Missouri was at full strength, I wouldn't

689
00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:07.400
<v Speaker 2>be shocked if they beat Missouri at home by four touchdowns,

690
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:10.759
<v Speaker 2>because that's just the way I see it. So I

691
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:12.319
<v Speaker 2>want to get on that one quickly because I wouldn't

692
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:14.640
<v Speaker 2>be shocked at that one's closer to twenty. As far

693
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:16.440
<v Speaker 2>as the spread by the time we get to kick off,

694
00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:17.880
<v Speaker 2>are you got one more you want to share?

695
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:20.599
<v Speaker 6>I do. I like the over in Miami FSU which

696
00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:22.279
<v Speaker 6>I believe right now it's at fifty four and a half,

697
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:24.160
<v Speaker 6>and I may be I may start betting the over

698
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:26.240
<v Speaker 6>in every Miami game moving forward if they continue to

699
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:27.599
<v Speaker 6>put up points the way that they do, and I

700
00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:30.119
<v Speaker 6>think that just seems like a very safe play this weekend.

701
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:31.559
<v Speaker 3>What did you say that the total was?

702
00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:33.279
<v Speaker 6>I got it at fifty four and a half.

703
00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:34.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I like that one.

704
00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:36.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm instead of giving you another pick, I'm just gonna

705
00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:39.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna emphasize that this is a good play here

706
00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:42.640
<v Speaker 2>because Miami could could potentially get that on their own.

707
00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:45.799
<v Speaker 2>And then the formula that I'm referencing here at sports

708
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:49.279
<v Speaker 2>Line has has this as a thirty six to twenty

709
00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:52.599
<v Speaker 2>one victory, which would put it at fifty seven. So

710
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:54.359
<v Speaker 2>right now it is at fifty four and a half.

711
00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:56.079
<v Speaker 2>You say that's what you got it at. Yes, Yeah,

712
00:32:56.119 --> 00:32:58.359
<v Speaker 2>So I like that because again, Miami, I mean they're

713
00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:00.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna score, there's no doubt about that.

714
00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:01.640
<v Speaker 3>And you know they may not.

715
00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:05.240
<v Speaker 2>They could give up maybe ten or thirteen to this

716
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:07.720
<v Speaker 2>bad Florida State team, and I would still I would

717
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:09.920
<v Speaker 2>still say, Okay, that's enough, because Miami is going to

718
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:12.319
<v Speaker 2>do their part the formula here. Again, they've got thirty

719
00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:14.759
<v Speaker 2>six points. I think Miami scores in the forties here,

720
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:17.319
<v Speaker 2>just because they've got that kind of momentum. And look,

721
00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:20.519
<v Speaker 2>Florida State, Like I wouldn't be shocked if Florida State

722
00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:23.880
<v Speaker 2>lost this game fifty seven to three. I mean that

723
00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:26.599
<v Speaker 2>would be an insane beat down. But like Florida State

724
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:28.799
<v Speaker 2>is is is they.

725
00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:30.599
<v Speaker 6>Have nothing, nothing that they have to say. That team

726
00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:32.319
<v Speaker 6>has nothing to play for playing.

727
00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:34.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but like again, like this is the kind of

728
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:38.960
<v Speaker 2>situation where you fade teams because of the snowball, right, Like,

729
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:43.000
<v Speaker 2>you get down ten points, you're dead. You get down

730
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:44.920
<v Speaker 2>a touchdown, you might be dead at this point because

731
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:47.200
<v Speaker 2>you can tell yourself, hey, this is you know, one game,

732
00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:49.720
<v Speaker 2>one game season, the next game is is all that matters?

733
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:53.319
<v Speaker 2>The human elements a powerful thing. These guys know they're

734
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:55.680
<v Speaker 2>the biggest embarrassment in college football, and they know they're

735
00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:58.920
<v Speaker 2>the most potentially underwhelming team of all time in college football,

736
00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:00.680
<v Speaker 2>depending on how this season plays out.

737
00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:02.279
<v Speaker 6>So I've got to throw one more out there. That's

738
00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:04.279
<v Speaker 6>my upset pick of the week. We're taking Navy money

739
00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:07.240
<v Speaker 6>line against Notre Dame. Okay, it's happening.

740
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:09.360
<v Speaker 3>I like that. I like that.

741
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:11.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know if I'll take a money line,

742
00:34:11.079 --> 00:34:13.119
<v Speaker 2>but thirteen and a half is too many. I think

743
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:15.599
<v Speaker 2>good stuff, good stuff, right quick pick will come back

744
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:19.880
<v Speaker 2>on the other side and wrap this thing up. I

745
00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:22.400
<v Speaker 2>am jealous of one of our listeners who mentioned they're

746
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:24.960
<v Speaker 2>heading out to the game tomorrow and Boston should be.

747
00:34:25.159 --> 00:34:28.239
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's it's.

748
00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:30.280
<v Speaker 2>Annually, or I guess not annually because you don't play

749
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:33.239
<v Speaker 2>them every year at their place. But I always say

750
00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:35.000
<v Speaker 2>that you should go to one. You should try to

751
00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:36.320
<v Speaker 2>if you can make it work. If you can't make

752
00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:39.280
<v Speaker 2>it work, I totally understand, especially in this economy, and

753
00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:42.280
<v Speaker 2>also the team being good as a factor as well.

754
00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:46.159
<v Speaker 2>But a road trip, one football road trip year is

755
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:48.280
<v Speaker 2>I think worth doing if you can make it happen.

756
00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:51.960
<v Speaker 2>And Louisville has had mostly the same type of destinations,

757
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:54.320
<v Speaker 2>and neutral sites don't really count. I mean they do

758
00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:58.719
<v Speaker 2>what they don't like, I'm not like super anti like

759
00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:01.719
<v Speaker 2>playing a random game against a team in a different city.

760
00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Like I just to me, going on the road and

761
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:07.000
<v Speaker 2>going in an environment where you know, there's you know,

762
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:09.199
<v Speaker 2>it's a real college football home environment. That's what makes

763
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:12.119
<v Speaker 2>it fun. So Boston College would never really check that box,

764
00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:15.000
<v Speaker 2>right because I mean the state, I mean, the facilities

765
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:16.760
<v Speaker 2>are kind of a dump compared to everybody else in

766
00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:19.960
<v Speaker 2>the ACC. They're never usually a team that you're excited

767
00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:22.519
<v Speaker 2>to play because you know it's Boston College. But Boston,

768
00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:25.639
<v Speaker 2>of course is a phenomenal city. So yeah, I'm jealous

769
00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:28.320
<v Speaker 2>that that some fans are going, and I hope that

770
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:30.519
<v Speaker 2>Louisville wins on Friday and then you enjoy the rest

771
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:33.079
<v Speaker 2>of your time there in the in the northeast, all right,

772
00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:37.639
<v Speaker 2>let's talk about Jefferson Animal Hospital. They've been around for

773
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:39.360
<v Speaker 2>a long time, in fact, forty four years since in

774
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:41.480
<v Speaker 2>nineteen eighty they've been open twenty four hours a day,

775
00:35:41.519 --> 00:35:44.320
<v Speaker 2>including all holidays, with a doctor on site every night,

776
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:47.480
<v Speaker 2>including Christmas. That's right, any day or night or shift

777
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Jefferson Animal Hospital. They're dedicated staff. They've got you covered

778
00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:53.280
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to your pets. In case of an emergency,

779
00:35:53.280 --> 00:35:56.679
<v Speaker 2>you can schedule an appoyment for any time, day or night,

780
00:35:56.880 --> 00:36:00.159
<v Speaker 2>walk right in. They'll be happy to see you. They

781
00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:03.880
<v Speaker 2>save lives every day. And that's how you stick around

782
00:36:03.920 --> 00:36:06.159
<v Speaker 2>for forty four years. And I'm sure many of you

783
00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:10.719
<v Speaker 2>have been to Jefferson Animal Hospital before, and this is

784
00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:12.599
<v Speaker 2>kind of a weird partnership. I mean, it's been great,

785
00:36:13.199 --> 00:36:15.519
<v Speaker 2>but it's one of those things that I've had a

786
00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:17.800
<v Speaker 2>few people who I don't know, some people I know

787
00:36:18.639 --> 00:36:21.079
<v Speaker 2>have obviously gone to Jefferson Animal Hospital. I have when

788
00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:24.000
<v Speaker 2>it comes to our dog. But you know, it's one

789
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:25.400
<v Speaker 2>of those things where people like, hey, you know, I

790
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:29.000
<v Speaker 2>heard you mentioning Jeffersonnimal Hospital and they're like, they're awesome,

791
00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:30.679
<v Speaker 2>And then they mentioned of course because they were.

792
00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:31.760
<v Speaker 3>They were there and.

793
00:36:32.159 --> 00:36:34.599
<v Speaker 2>Kind of helped guide them through a very sad time,

794
00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:36.760
<v Speaker 2>which is when you have to at times say goodbye

795
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:39.639
<v Speaker 2>to your pet and and you know it's their time.

796
00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:43.159
<v Speaker 2>But you know, that's a pretty sad and delicate thing

797
00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:46.360
<v Speaker 2>that you'll probably remember forever. And if you had somebody

798
00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:49.320
<v Speaker 2>that helped you throughout that process and made that situation

799
00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:51.199
<v Speaker 2>as best as it could be, even though it's certainly

800
00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:54.039
<v Speaker 2>not a good situation, that's something you remember. So that's

801
00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:56.440
<v Speaker 2>how they've been around for so long and have such

802
00:36:56.440 --> 00:36:58.559
<v Speaker 2>a great reputation. So again, it's Jefferson Animal Hospital. You

803
00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:00.360
<v Speaker 2>can give them a call at BABO two nine hundred

804
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:05.000
<v Speaker 2>pets or visit Jefferson evetts dot com. We're out of time, everybody.

805
00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:06.800
<v Speaker 2>Enjoy your night, John, enjoy your long weekend.

806
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:07.599
<v Speaker 3>My man will do.

807
00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:09.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure when we come back on Monday, we'll still

808
00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:11.519
<v Speaker 2>be talking about an undefeated Indiana team.

809
00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:12.159
<v Speaker 1>I hope, so.

810
00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:15.599
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully, hopefully, when you return, Louisville has not lost to

811
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Boston College. Fingers crossed.

812
00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:18.679
<v Speaker 3>Have a good night, everybody,
