00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and Company. Fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven ninety.

3
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Holy crap, I don't know who the hell we think

4
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:12.880
<v Speaker 2>when we are get off.

5
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Our show, idiots.

6
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:17.160
<v Speaker 3>The kids are crying to turn off your cultures.

7
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:17.559
<v Speaker 1>Are screwing it up.

8
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:20.800
<v Speaker 3>Gold Play Inner Murals, Brother, gold Play Inner Murals.

9
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not.

10
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:27.879
<v Speaker 1>Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here? Are you

11
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>kidding me? Now? Here's nick coffee?

12
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:43.920
<v Speaker 4>You know?

13
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:45.920
<v Speaker 2>They say you learn something new every day, and I

14
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:47.039
<v Speaker 2>just learned something.

15
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:49.039
<v Speaker 5>I think I learned it the hard way.

16
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 2>John and I were having a conversation before the show started,

17
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:57.039
<v Speaker 2>like we always do, just chit chatting, like like the

18
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Fellas do, right, just the boys chopping it up. And

19
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:04.200
<v Speaker 2>I admitted something to John that I didn't need to

20
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 2>tell him, but I don't know why I did. But

21
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.879
<v Speaker 2>now I'm squirmy, I'm freaking out, So everybody, well shouldn't

22
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:13.239
<v Speaker 2>s everybody? Maybe that's my way of thinking, like it's normal,

23
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:15.319
<v Speaker 2>But at least some people out there have what's called

24
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:20.840
<v Speaker 2>a phobia, and I legitimately have one. I don't tell

25
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:23.680
<v Speaker 2>anybody what it is. Because that's just an invitation for

26
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.280
<v Speaker 2>somebody to like test the levels of like, okay, really

27
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:28.920
<v Speaker 2>because mine's pretty weird. John, I'm gonna hope that you

28
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:30.959
<v Speaker 2>keep that to yourself for the rest of your repeat,

29
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:34.599
<v Speaker 2>for the rest of your life. But wouldn't you agree

30
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:36.560
<v Speaker 2>that's one of those things that like you would think,

31
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:38.560
<v Speaker 2>like wait a second, like not that you'd think I'm lying,

32
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.040
<v Speaker 2>but like you, you probably instantly thought, what has that work?

33
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.640
<v Speaker 3>That's not something that anybody would ever guess. Yeah, you know,

34
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:45.319
<v Speaker 3>is a phobia.

35
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.040
<v Speaker 2>So because of that, people wouldn't believe me. And this

36
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.000
<v Speaker 2>used to be a thing to where like people would

37
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:51.840
<v Speaker 2>mess with me as if like it was funny or

38
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>maybe I was exaggerating it, and I would be like, no,

39
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.159
<v Speaker 2>if you, if you, if that happens, it's not even

40
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.920
<v Speaker 2>going to be something that registers mentally upstairs. It's just

41
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.319
<v Speaker 2>gonna be instincts. I'm gonna punch you, like It's just

42
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:04.519
<v Speaker 2>the way it's gonna be. But anyways, now as we

43
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:06.959
<v Speaker 2>start the show, I said that hadn't thought about it

44
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 2>in a long time, and now I'm kind of bazzing

45
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:10.719
<v Speaker 2>out a little bit.

46
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 5>But it's okay.

47
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:14.439
<v Speaker 2>Once we get rolling here, I'll be I'll be fine,

48
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 2>And I'm just gonna say this, when it comes to phobias,

49
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:20.719
<v Speaker 2>if you ever get bored and you have, you know,

50
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:22.520
<v Speaker 2>some time on your hands, if you will look up

51
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.560
<v Speaker 2>all the different phobias out there, it'll blow your mind.

52
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.680
<v Speaker 2>As far as things that like, people just can't deal

53
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>with that, like you would never be able to understand

54
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.400
<v Speaker 2>why or how. But anyways, let's dive in, shall we.

55
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.439
<v Speaker 2>Coffee and Company. That's us. We are fueled by Thornton's

56
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.879
<v Speaker 2>here on Sports Talk seven to ninety nit Coffee, the

57
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>company man, mister John Alden taking you up until six o'clock.

58
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:45.680
<v Speaker 2>A couple of guests said to join us today, but

59
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:47.319
<v Speaker 2>I hope you guys will join us today as well.

60
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.080
<v Speaker 2>I want to make this show interactive. We usually get

61
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:54.360
<v Speaker 2>rolling with more interaction phone calls, text line as we

62
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 2>get a little later into the week here. But coming

63
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 2>up at three twenty, we'll talk with Kent Spencer from

64
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 2>WHA eleven. Looking forward to catching up with him, getting

65
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.400
<v Speaker 2>his thoughts on mostly you know, the local teams. That's

66
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.800
<v Speaker 2>what we usually pick his brain about. And an hour

67
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.080
<v Speaker 2>later at four to twenty, we'll talk to Brian Edwards

68
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.639
<v Speaker 2>from Vegas Insider get his thoughts on a big weekend

69
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:20.400
<v Speaker 2>of college football and college basketball. John I learned, Yeah

70
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:22.879
<v Speaker 2>I should I should have. I mean, I'm the older

71
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 2>one here, but your wisdom has has helped me at times,

72
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:28.719
<v Speaker 2>and I should have followed your lead when it comes

73
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 2>to betting on college basketball because it's the ultimate guess.

74
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.360
<v Speaker 3>There's literally so much nonsense in the opening few games.

75
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.199
<v Speaker 2>And I literally said that yesterday, like, yeah, you know,

76
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.000
<v Speaker 2>who knows, but I'm still gonna do it. And I

77
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>did it and it wasn't a big deal. I put

78
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:44.439
<v Speaker 2>like ten bucks on on the line last night overall

79
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.560
<v Speaker 2>and didn't come through. But these big numbers out there

80
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:50.719
<v Speaker 2>as far as and it really isn't like crazy numbers.

81
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:52.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, did Indiana cover? I mean they were winning

82
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:54.439
<v Speaker 2>twenty plus the whole time, right, you know.

83
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.919
<v Speaker 3>They won by nineteen, and I believe that the spread

84
00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:58.840
<v Speaker 3>before the tip off was like twenty six and a half.

85
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:00.800
<v Speaker 2>But were they in the twist as far as the

86
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.639
<v Speaker 2>lead for game around that? Yeah, I mean it wasn't

87
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:04.360
<v Speaker 2>like you were worried.

88
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:06.039
<v Speaker 3>There was a point. I mean it was twenty seven

89
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:08.360
<v Speaker 3>to twenty seven in the first half. Indiana played very

90
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 3>sloppy in the first half, but they did, you know,

91
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 3>make up for it.

92
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:13.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I would say if you're if you're

93
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.720
<v Speaker 2>a Louisville and Kentucky fan, you know you all have

94
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean brand new teams. I mean literally, like completely

95
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:24.040
<v Speaker 2>from scratch, both both teams, Louisville and Kentucky with brand

96
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.439
<v Speaker 2>new coaches, which I would think that that would be

97
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 2>like the more difficult ramp up, if you know what

98
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying, Like, once you get playing in real games,

99
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.879
<v Speaker 2>like it may take these guys a little more time

100
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.879
<v Speaker 2>to get it rolling compared to other teams that might

101
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.560
<v Speaker 2>bring back five six guys from last year's team and

102
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:43.439
<v Speaker 2>then maybe they got a couple of freshmen and three

103
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.560
<v Speaker 2>four portal guys, Like I'd say that's probably your most

104
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.800
<v Speaker 2>I'd say that's probably that mixed bag there as far

105
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.199
<v Speaker 2>as how your roster is structured, I'd say that's probably

106
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:54.600
<v Speaker 2>the norm for most. But what went on around here

107
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:56.839
<v Speaker 2>this past offseason wasn't normal, right because you had a

108
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.519
<v Speaker 2>coaching change and you completely built brand new teams. So

109
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.920
<v Speaker 2>for Louisville and Kentucky to cover earlier and again the

110
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.800
<v Speaker 2>competition wasn't great, but you know, you look elsewhere. I

111
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:10.079
<v Speaker 2>mean teams that some are supposed to be like Arkansas,

112
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.879
<v Speaker 2>I mean they were, they were they were never really

113
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.240
<v Speaker 2>able to pull away last night from whoever they played,

114
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:17.399
<v Speaker 2>and they I mean, they didn't look that good. To

115
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.959
<v Speaker 2>be honest with you, I'm not sure that you know,

116
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:22.439
<v Speaker 2>Villanova was expected to be good this year because they

117
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:24.360
<v Speaker 2>still have Kyle Neptune. You see, they lost last night

118
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:25.000
<v Speaker 2>to Columbia.

119
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:25.800
<v Speaker 3>I didn't see that.

120
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:30.279
<v Speaker 2>And then Virginia, I mean they ended up ended up winning,

121
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.079
<v Speaker 2>but you know, not covering against a really bad team.

122
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.839
<v Speaker 2>So back to the whole wagering aspect of it, Like

123
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:39.120
<v Speaker 2>it's just it's impossible to know right now. And yet

124
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.720
<v Speaker 2>I still am am am a you know what it is.

125
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:45.000
<v Speaker 2>It's not like I'm a degenerate gambler. I can't help myself.

126
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:47.839
<v Speaker 2>I just have to betting on college basketball. But you know,

127
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.319
<v Speaker 2>I used to be able to look back at teams.

128
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:51.759
<v Speaker 2>I used to be able to look at these teams

129
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:53.319
<v Speaker 2>that a lot of people don't care about, and I

130
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:55.199
<v Speaker 2>don't really care about them, but I just I follow

131
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.319
<v Speaker 2>college basketball closer than most just because I'm a nerd

132
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.240
<v Speaker 2>for it. But I felt like I would have a

133
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.879
<v Speaker 2>better feel for these mid majors or low majors than

134
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.199
<v Speaker 2>others to where I would say, Okay, yeah they're gonna

135
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:07.920
<v Speaker 2>get beat, but man, they ain't get beat by twenty nine,

136
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:10.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, something like that. And now you go look

137
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.680
<v Speaker 2>at these rosters at the bottom of Division one, mid

138
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.560
<v Speaker 2>level everywhere, you're losing guys like crazy. In fact, those

139
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.000
<v Speaker 2>lower level schools are losing guys more than anybody, it seems,

140
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:25.000
<v Speaker 2>because you know, I mean, there are now guys who

141
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:27.839
<v Speaker 2>will have a career where they played at like Coppin State,

142
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:33.519
<v Speaker 2>Drexel Florida A and m Grambling State, like four schools

143
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:37.399
<v Speaker 2>in four years, and they probably averaged seven points in

144
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:39.600
<v Speaker 2>one of those seasons as a career high. Like that's

145
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:43.560
<v Speaker 2>just like that's what people are doing now. So anyways,

146
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:45.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm happy that college basketball's here, but I'm probably gonna

147
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.920
<v Speaker 2>lay off when it comes to gambling until, you know, well,

148
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:51.800
<v Speaker 2>unless we have good games, like, for example, there's some

149
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:54.079
<v Speaker 2>decent games this weekend. Louisville, Tennessee is one of them.

150
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:55.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I'm gonna bet on it, but

151
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.800
<v Speaker 2>certainly a good game when it comes to early college

152
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:04.160
<v Speaker 2>basketball season and I'm not going to be you know,

153
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:06.399
<v Speaker 2>this is not a negative thing to say, because you know,

154
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:10.639
<v Speaker 2>the vibes are really really strong right now, seemingly all

155
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:14.879
<v Speaker 2>the way around, but obviously when it comes to results

156
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:18.120
<v Speaker 2>that really impact the vibe more than others, it's football

157
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.959
<v Speaker 2>and men's basketball, and obviously men's basketball dominant debut for

158
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.120
<v Speaker 2>Pat Kelsey and then a big game coming up here

159
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:26.920
<v Speaker 2>in a couple of days. And then football, you've got

160
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.839
<v Speaker 2>the first ever win against Clemson and you're in the

161
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.319
<v Speaker 2>top twenty five of the College Football playoff rankings.

162
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:33.319
<v Speaker 5>So things are going well.

163
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:35.720
<v Speaker 2>But I'm you know, I am bummed at the bye

164
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.480
<v Speaker 2>week's here because I want to be able to you know,

165
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:42.639
<v Speaker 2>I want to be able to carry the momentum and

166
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:43.399
<v Speaker 2>not have a week off.

167
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:43.480
<v Speaker 4>Now.

168
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:45.399
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully they carry momentum with them next week as they

169
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:48.560
<v Speaker 2>travel to Stanford to play allows these Stanford team. But

170
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, either way, like this is not good timing

171
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:53.879
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to the bye week, because they got

172
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.680
<v Speaker 2>their breakthrough victory, they finally got over the hump as

173
00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:58.800
<v Speaker 2>for AST playing really good teams and you know, this

174
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.720
<v Speaker 2>time they didn't come up short. But it's all starting

175
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:06.199
<v Speaker 2>to kind of even out because I believed that Louisville

176
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.560
<v Speaker 2>despite their losses, Like I felt like I could say, yeah,

177
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.040
<v Speaker 2>they're a really good team. They've got some pretty good players,

178
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:14.839
<v Speaker 2>like some dudes that I feel like, who knows, when

179
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:16.519
<v Speaker 2>we get to the end of the season, you might

180
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:19.279
<v Speaker 2>start talking about those guys as you know, some of

181
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:22.079
<v Speaker 2>the best you ever had. You know, for one season, right,

182
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:23.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean a lot of guys aren't sticking around three

183
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.560
<v Speaker 2>four years like players used to do back in the day.

184
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:29.800
<v Speaker 2>But you know, you look at what's going on. I mean,

185
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:33.519
<v Speaker 2>you look at I mean Jacorey Brooks. I'm trying to

186
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.000
<v Speaker 2>pull up the numbers here, excuse me. I mean he's

187
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:38.480
<v Speaker 2>already leading the acc and receiving yards and receiving touchdowns,

188
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.000
<v Speaker 2>but he also leads the country in most catches of

189
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.519
<v Speaker 2>twenty or more yards, which is an impressive stat for him.

190
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.559
<v Speaker 2>Also an impressive stat for Tyler Shuck. I mean Tyler

191
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Shuck again. The numbers, the stats really don't really don't

192
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:52.279
<v Speaker 2>show it, but he's having himself a really good season.

193
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:57.840
<v Speaker 2>And Isaac Brown, I mean, he might be one of

194
00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:00.320
<v Speaker 2>the best freshmen in the country. In fact, I think

195
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:02.200
<v Speaker 2>he might be. I think he is, And I think

196
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:04.639
<v Speaker 2>the results will tell you that. I mean, he's been

197
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:07.960
<v Speaker 2>sensational this year and he's only getting better. Like I

198
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.879
<v Speaker 2>keep worrying about him hitting a wall as a freshman,

199
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:13.519
<v Speaker 2>because that happens, and Jeff has said it at least

200
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.720
<v Speaker 2>the last three weeks that they're having to really monitor

201
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:19.399
<v Speaker 2>the usage because he's kind of getting worn down as

202
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:22.399
<v Speaker 2>the game goes on. Because it's so clear he's your

203
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.840
<v Speaker 2>best back and it's not close. In fact, I mean

204
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.159
<v Speaker 2>him and Duke Watson, both true freshmen, are your best

205
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:30.039
<v Speaker 2>running backs, and they're both effective as true freshmen, which

206
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:32.279
<v Speaker 2>I think goes to show you they're not your typical

207
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:36.799
<v Speaker 2>true freshman. But I mean, Isaac Brown is having a

208
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:41.360
<v Speaker 2>really good year. And there's a number I'm gonna make

209
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.799
<v Speaker 2>sure I get it correct, but take away just the

210
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:45.320
<v Speaker 2>whole fact that he's a freshman. If you just look

211
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:47.519
<v Speaker 2>at his numbers, as far as what he's doing per game,

212
00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:52.519
<v Speaker 2>per carry, it's as good as anybody not named Ashton Genty,

213
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:55.919
<v Speaker 2>the Boise State running back. Like, so I bring all

214
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:59.039
<v Speaker 2>this up to say, it's nice to be you know,

215
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:02.000
<v Speaker 2>tab it confirmed, and I guess things could fall apart, right,

216
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:03.759
<v Speaker 2>Like you could go have a bad loss to Stanford,

217
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 2>and we all know that's possible. I don't think it'll happen,

218
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.480
<v Speaker 2>but you know, anything can happen in college football. But

219
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:13.240
<v Speaker 2>as it's starting to kind of shift to where you know,

220
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.159
<v Speaker 2>we're no longer saying like, man, Isaac Brown, this guy.

221
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.720
<v Speaker 5>Is special, Tyler Shucks, wish we had this guy for.

222
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:19.360
<v Speaker 1>More than one year.

223
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Same thing with ja Corey Brooks. Who knows how long

224
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.039
<v Speaker 2>he sticks around. So it kind of felt like for

225
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.799
<v Speaker 2>a while you were going to be potentially looking at

226
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:28.399
<v Speaker 2>a season where it felt like you wasted some really

227
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.559
<v Speaker 2>special talent that isn't going to be around very long.

228
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:33.320
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know how long Isaac's going to be around,

229
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.960
<v Speaker 2>hopefully hopefully for a long time. But Shuck, of course

230
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:38.440
<v Speaker 2>is a seventh year senior, no more eligibility. And then

231
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:42.039
<v Speaker 2>ja Corey Brooks, I think he has another year, but

232
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:45.759
<v Speaker 2>he might go to the NFL. To be honestly, I

233
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:47.519
<v Speaker 2>don't know where he is on the mock drafts, but

234
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:48.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean I wouldn't be shocked at all if he

235
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 2>gets an evaluation that has him deciding to go to

236
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.879
<v Speaker 2>the NFL, because I think he's that talented. And then,

237
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:57.559
<v Speaker 2>of course, Isaac you know, can't go to the NFL yet,

238
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.639
<v Speaker 2>and I do. This is just a real reminder of

239
00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:04.559
<v Speaker 2>where we are and how different things are. When you

240
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.399
<v Speaker 2>see somebody who's a true freshman like Isaac Brown making

241
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:13.720
<v Speaker 2>the impact that he's making. Our fans are aware that

242
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.600
<v Speaker 2>like now, he could mean he might leave right like

243
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.600
<v Speaker 2>he could have a really good finish to the season

244
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:22.720
<v Speaker 2>where you know, let's say his numbers get even better

245
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:25.879
<v Speaker 2>and Louisville wins out and there's momentum and they're talked

246
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.279
<v Speaker 2>about next year, is like a team that really could

247
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:30.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, make the playoff that kind of stuff, if

248
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:32.559
<v Speaker 2>there's that kind of momentum, Like at any moment, like,

249
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.759
<v Speaker 2>guys can just leave. And I hope that he doesn't,

250
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:39.360
<v Speaker 2>but that is that's the downside. I mean, Louisvill's been

251
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:42.519
<v Speaker 2>able to benefit from this more than's then it's hurt them.

252
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:45.120
<v Speaker 2>And I would say this when it comes to the

253
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:49.559
<v Speaker 2>whole Colin Lacy situation and just any other time you

254
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:52.960
<v Speaker 2>feel like, man, this portal thing stinks. I wish guys

255
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:54.639
<v Speaker 2>stuck around for a long time, Like I get it,

256
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:56.879
<v Speaker 2>like we missed the old days. But I would say,

257
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:01.200
<v Speaker 2>right now, Louisville specifically both basketball and footootball. They have

258
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.240
<v Speaker 2>substantially been able to benefit from this new world then

259
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:09.519
<v Speaker 2>the other way around, and that's something I think again

260
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:12.000
<v Speaker 2>you should probably remind yourself of that, just so you don't,

261
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:14.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, because who knows what life would be like

262
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:16.600
<v Speaker 2>for U of L Sports if you didn't have the

263
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:19.360
<v Speaker 2>portal in an il because at that point, you know,

264
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:22.799
<v Speaker 2>you couldn't you couldn't utilize things that you that you're

265
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:25.960
<v Speaker 2>utilizing now to go build a roster, to you know,

266
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:29.559
<v Speaker 2>to fire a coach. Right like if Kinney Payne was

267
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:32.919
<v Speaker 2>never was never able to use a transfer portal to

268
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:37.679
<v Speaker 2>build a roster, he might have been just given no

269
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.720
<v Speaker 2>matter what happens, at least three years or something, maybe four.

270
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:43.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, hard to imagine that they wouldn't have made

271
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:45.759
<v Speaker 2>a move regardless. But like you've been able to benefit

272
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.120
<v Speaker 2>from a Jeff Brohm, I mean, I don't think he

273
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.240
<v Speaker 2>would be. If he's just recruiting straight out of the

274
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.960
<v Speaker 2>high school ranks, maybe he would be able to get

275
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.159
<v Speaker 2>some guys that could, you know, could really over time

276
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:58.559
<v Speaker 2>develop and be really effective high level college football players.

277
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:00.519
<v Speaker 2>But you know, because of the poor he was able

278
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:02.519
<v Speaker 2>to go get Ja Cory Brooks who was at Alabama

279
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.799
<v Speaker 2>catching touchdowns for Nick Saban and then he gets injured,

280
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:07.879
<v Speaker 2>gets passed over because you know what, Alabama's got a

281
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.799
<v Speaker 2>lot of guys like Ja Cory Brooks. So I hear

282
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:14.120
<v Speaker 2>you whenevery. You know, I understand those that miss it

283
00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:17.720
<v Speaker 2>in a major way. But in the now, in the

284
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:20.480
<v Speaker 2>early stages of this new world, Louisville has benefited from

285
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.039
<v Speaker 2>it more than they've suffered from it. But anyways, that's

286
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:25.240
<v Speaker 2>a long winded way of me saying we got to

287
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:27.919
<v Speaker 2>worry about keeping guys around because at any moment, they

288
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:31.200
<v Speaker 2>can leave. And I would say that this week Louisville

289
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:34.320
<v Speaker 2>fans when it comes to talking about Louisville football and

290
00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:37.919
<v Speaker 2>reacting to the Clemson win and still celebrating it knowing

291
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:39.480
<v Speaker 2>that the team's got a week off, I feel like

292
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:42.080
<v Speaker 2>of all the things Louisville football fans have been discussing,

293
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.120
<v Speaker 2>how they can find a way to keep Isaac Brown

294
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:47.639
<v Speaker 2>around is probably up there as far as one of

295
00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:49.360
<v Speaker 2>the most talked about things. And I get it because

296
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:50.960
<v Speaker 2>you know he's special and you don't want to lose him.

297
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:53.600
<v Speaker 2>And there are many programs out there that probably know, Hey,

298
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:56.879
<v Speaker 2>that guy's awesome. We overlooked him. We could probably go

299
00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:59.720
<v Speaker 2>get him. We probably have enough. We know his high

300
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:03.360
<v Speaker 2>school coach or his you know, somebody that's connected to him,

301
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.159
<v Speaker 2>and we know we've got X amount of dollars in

302
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:10.159
<v Speaker 2>an il. So let's let's let him. Let's let it

303
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:12.360
<v Speaker 2>be known, and then you know, you may lose him,

304
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:16.440
<v Speaker 2>like you like, at one point. I don't know when,

305
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:19.840
<v Speaker 2>but at one point will be like college fans will

306
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:23.399
<v Speaker 2>be well aware that it. You know, you never just

307
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:26.799
<v Speaker 2>you should never be surprised if anybody leaves, because it's

308
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.639
<v Speaker 2>just where we are and it's not changing, all right.

309
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:32.840
<v Speaker 2>So again, Kent Spencer gonna join us, coming up here

310
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:34.879
<v Speaker 2>in just a few minutes. Some other things I want

311
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:37.559
<v Speaker 2>to get into today. There's gonna be a live tiger

312
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:40.519
<v Speaker 2>at the LSU Alabama game, and I think that's badass.

313
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Reminds me of that old uh Mike Leach. I mean,

314
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:47.159
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't like a skit or a rant. It was

315
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:49.159
<v Speaker 2>just Mike Leach being Mike Leech at a press conference

316
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.159
<v Speaker 2>kind of kind of what he did, but he broke

317
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:54.679
<v Speaker 2>down like which live mascots would like win, like an

318
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:58.399
<v Speaker 2>ultimate survival kind of thing really, you know, stupid but

319
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:01.440
<v Speaker 2>funny stuff. In my opinion, like LSU can't lose at

320
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.720
<v Speaker 2>home with the real tiger there. I know it's Alabama,

321
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:05.799
<v Speaker 2>but like, didn't I just gearing. Doesn't that mean we

322
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:08.159
<v Speaker 2>have to bet Lsu? John I don't know. I don't

323
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:10.399
<v Speaker 2>like Brian Kelly. I don't even trust him, so I

324
00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:11.879
<v Speaker 2>don't know that I wouldn't make that bet.

325
00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:14.200
<v Speaker 5>But the Tiger come on, Like that's that's the ultimate

326
00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:15.120
<v Speaker 5>intimidation factor.

327
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:17.679
<v Speaker 3>I can see the Tiger getting out and eating Brian Kelly.

328
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:21.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Lsu, I feel like the whole time he's been there,

329
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:23.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, yeah, man, they really are struggling. They've yet

330
00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:25.200
<v Speaker 2>to get it rolling. But like every time I looked,

331
00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:28.039
<v Speaker 2>every time I checked, like ranking standings, that kind of stuff,

332
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:30.039
<v Speaker 2>they're they're in a they're in a pretty good spot,

333
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:34.639
<v Speaker 2>all right. Also something else, uh when it comes Well,

334
00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:36.559
<v Speaker 2>first of all, we haven't talked about it yet, but

335
00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:38.600
<v Speaker 2>there's a really good Thursday night football game tonight between

336
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:40.480
<v Speaker 2>the Ravens and the Bengals. Will certainly talk about that.

337
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.440
<v Speaker 2>But Cali Perry last night, Like, if you're a Kentucky fan,

338
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:47.799
<v Speaker 2>worried that Cali Perry was going to go to Arkansas

339
00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:51.279
<v Speaker 2>and finally adapt to the new world of college basketball

340
00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:53.200
<v Speaker 2>as far as how the game is played, and really,

341
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:57.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, just be energized and hungry to mix it

342
00:15:57.159 --> 00:16:00.600
<v Speaker 2>up and win in spite of you, to to show

343
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:02.960
<v Speaker 2>you that you guys don't know what you missed. You

344
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:05.679
<v Speaker 2>don't know what you lost in him. And I want

345
00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:07.320
<v Speaker 2>that too, because you know, that would be fun for

346
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:09.600
<v Speaker 2>me to see Kentucky fans miss Caliperi and maybe be

347
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:11.240
<v Speaker 2>worried about Mark Pope. I don't know if it plays

348
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.679
<v Speaker 2>out that way, but cal and his press conference last night?

349
00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:15.559
<v Speaker 2>Have you heard of me of this John, I haven't he.

350
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.120
<v Speaker 2>I think he think he's gone insane. Like I don't

351
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:19.960
<v Speaker 2>think he's re energized. I don't think he's focused. I

352
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:22.799
<v Speaker 2>think he's just, you know, losing his mind. To be

353
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:24.679
<v Speaker 2>honest with you, all.

354
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:25.519
<v Speaker 1>Right, stick with us.

00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:53.960
<v Speaker 2>from WHAS eleven, Kent before we dive in here, congratulations,

366
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:58.080
<v Speaker 2>I see thirteen year anniversary for you at WWHS eleven.

367
00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:00.279
<v Speaker 2>Does it feel like you've been at it that long?

368
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:05.039
<v Speaker 4>Here? It does not, And I did not even know

369
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:10.440
<v Speaker 4>until a coworker of mine posted something very nice on

370
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:11.559
<v Speaker 4>social media about it.

371
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's why I brought it up, because what's your secret?

372
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:17.079
<v Speaker 2>You did an age in thirteen years? What are you doing?

373
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:18.319
<v Speaker 2>What I need?

374
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:22.200
<v Speaker 5>I need to know what the secret is? Man, Buddy.

375
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:24.359
<v Speaker 4>I try. I just try to keep the stress light, okay,

376
00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:25.440
<v Speaker 4>try to keep the stress well.

377
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I'd like to do that regardless if

378
00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:30.000
<v Speaker 2>it had an impact on how old I looked.

379
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:32.160
<v Speaker 5>I mean, stress, stress will get you. But you're living

380
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:32.640
<v Speaker 5>good man.

381
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:37.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, thank you, buddy. I appreciate it. And let me

382
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:39.440
<v Speaker 4>tell you something. It's it's thirteen years and it's been

383
00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:40.160
<v Speaker 4>a heck of a run.

384
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:41.200
<v Speaker 5>Good stuff.

385
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I if you'd asked, somebody would have asked me, Hey,

386
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:46.880
<v Speaker 2>how long you think that Kin Spincer's been with WS eleven?

387
00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:48.759
<v Speaker 2>I would have been in the ballpark, but I don't

388
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:50.000
<v Speaker 2>know if I would have I don't know if I

389
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:52.119
<v Speaker 2>would have guessed thirteen, because again, you've looked the same

390
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:52.799
<v Speaker 2>the whole time.

391
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:54.680
<v Speaker 5>It's us. It's pretty impressive.

392
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:57.039
<v Speaker 2>So good stuff, and it was very kind of your

393
00:17:57.079 --> 00:17:59.400
<v Speaker 2>colleague to uh to to put that video together. But

394
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.160
<v Speaker 2>that's that's what I saw earlier today that at the

395
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:05.200
<v Speaker 2>very end it shows literally thirteen pictures side by side,

396
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:07.160
<v Speaker 2>and I've I've never seen anything quite like it. So

397
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:10.480
<v Speaker 2>whatever you're doing, keep it up, man, Good good stuff,

398
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:12.559
<v Speaker 2>all right, before we get to tonight's big game in

399
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:14.480
<v Speaker 2>the NFL, because I certainly want to discuss that both

400
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:19.799
<v Speaker 2>Louisville and Kentucky season debuts earlier dominant wins given all

401
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:23.079
<v Speaker 2>of the you know, all the components here with both sides,

402
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:26.039
<v Speaker 2>because it's a pretty similar situation. New coach really building

403
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:29.039
<v Speaker 2>an entire team from scratch. A lot of these guys

404
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:32.759
<v Speaker 2>had never really played together. But I mean, it's one game,

405
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:35.200
<v Speaker 2>and the competition was inferior. But I think it's safe

406
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:37.319
<v Speaker 2>to say that that so far, maybe they are a

407
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:40.200
<v Speaker 2>little bit ahead of what you would have expected, given

408
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:41.640
<v Speaker 2>you know that it's all brand new.

409
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:46.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, yeah, I would say definitely. They both have passed

410
00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:48.559
<v Speaker 4>every test that's been put in front of them so far.

411
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:53.000
<v Speaker 4>With with Flying Colors. Obviously, for Louisville, business is really

412
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:55.680
<v Speaker 4>going to pick up on Saturday, and then for Kentucky

413
00:18:55.799 --> 00:19:00.319
<v Speaker 4>things will really pick up next week against do But

414
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:04.519
<v Speaker 4>you know, just just kind of starting with with Louisville,

415
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:08.559
<v Speaker 4>to be honest with you, you know, I think all

416
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:11.759
<v Speaker 4>everybody wanted to look at like, what were they going

417
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:16.039
<v Speaker 4>to look at offensively? Because the cards have been kind

418
00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:19.599
<v Speaker 4>of dysfunctional offensively over the past couple of years.

419
00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:22.039
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, no identity probably putting it in.

420
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:25.599
<v Speaker 4>A in a very nice way. But I think, you know,

421
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:27.880
<v Speaker 4>all eyes were like, hey, what what's this thing going

422
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:29.599
<v Speaker 4>to look like? There? I know they want to get

423
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:31.079
<v Speaker 4>up and down. I know they want to put up

424
00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:34.839
<v Speaker 4>a bunch of threes and things of this nature. I've

425
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:37.920
<v Speaker 4>been super impressed by the effort on the defensive end

426
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:40.359
<v Speaker 4>so far from from this team, and the and the

427
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:42.559
<v Speaker 4>makeup that the guys that Pat Kelsey picked up in

428
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:47.200
<v Speaker 4>the transfer portal. We'll see if that continues against somebody

429
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:50.759
<v Speaker 4>like a Tennessee on Saturday. But for me, like that's

430
00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:53.240
<v Speaker 4>been the that's been the area that I've been like, oh,

431
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:55.799
<v Speaker 4>like these guys are these guys get after it, like,

432
00:19:55.839 --> 00:20:01.200
<v Speaker 4>these guys are are playing extremely hard. So so for them,

433
00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:03.759
<v Speaker 4>I think that's the That's the one thing that that

434
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:06.279
<v Speaker 4>I've kind of taken away from the exhibition games in

435
00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:09.680
<v Speaker 4>the one game against Morehead State and then and then

436
00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:13.960
<v Speaker 4>for Kentucky, they're playing a super fun style as well offensively,

437
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:17.880
<v Speaker 4>lab Butler just gets at you defensively. And I think

438
00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:22.279
<v Speaker 4>Amari Williams is an absolute monster. He just like his

439
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:24.880
<v Speaker 4>game against Wright State the other night, like he just

440
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:28.720
<v Speaker 4>like he was just an absolute monster around that realm.

441
00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:32.480
<v Speaker 4>And we'll see, like against a Duke, does that continue

442
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:33.119
<v Speaker 4>to be the case.

443
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:36.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I don't know if if if both coaches

444
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:39.359
<v Speaker 2>here would have preferred to have the schedule kind of

445
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:42.200
<v Speaker 2>play out the way that it has, because obviously, the

446
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Champions Classic for Kentucky is something that they've been doing

447
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:46.440
<v Speaker 2>for a long time and it's a good opportunity to

448
00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:48.240
<v Speaker 2>be weird to back out of it. But you know,

449
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:51.240
<v Speaker 2>both of both both guys are going to have a

450
00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:53.599
<v Speaker 2>really early test to kind of see where their team

451
00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:56.200
<v Speaker 2>stands and maybe both come up short. I wouldn't be

452
00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:58.559
<v Speaker 2>terribly shocked if both win, to be honest with you,

453
00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:02.240
<v Speaker 2>but I mean, what's your what's your gut? Tell you

454
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:04.480
<v Speaker 2>as far as fan reaction, because these guys are on

455
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:06.400
<v Speaker 2>top of the world right now, and I don't think

456
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:09.200
<v Speaker 2>that we should expect anybody to lose their mind. Because again,

457
00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:11.359
<v Speaker 2>if Louisville loses to Tennessee and Kentucky loses to do

458
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:13.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's going to be the expected outcome if

459
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:14.960
<v Speaker 2>you're going off of point spreads and whatnot.

460
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:17.440
<v Speaker 5>But I'm I'm eager.

461
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:19.039
<v Speaker 2>To see sort of like what the reaction is if

462
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:21.319
<v Speaker 2>both teams play well and they come up short. Part

463
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:23.519
<v Speaker 2>of me says that could still be viewed as a

464
00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:25.559
<v Speaker 2>positive and people would still have good, good, you know,

465
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:26.079
<v Speaker 2>good vibes.

466
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:26.960
<v Speaker 5>The morale would be up.

467
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:29.640
<v Speaker 2>But again, we care about college basketball around here a

468
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:31.440
<v Speaker 2>lot more than most and some people just can't help

469
00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:33.119
<v Speaker 2>but lose their mind over any loss.

470
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.720
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna ask you to

471
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.240
<v Speaker 4>hit the rewind button just a little bit to last

472
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:44.400
<v Speaker 4>year and I want to say Kentucky lost a game

473
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:47.160
<v Speaker 4>against Kansas and the Champions Classic with that with that

474
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:51.200
<v Speaker 4>young team last year, and I think everybody like came

475
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:53.960
<v Speaker 4>away from that going, hey, this Kentucky team has a

476
00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:54.920
<v Speaker 4>chance to be pretty good.

477
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:56.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Kansas was number one, that's right.

478
00:21:57.400 --> 00:22:00.279
<v Speaker 4>So they take they take, they take an l But

479
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:03.480
<v Speaker 4>like there was nobody down and out about anything, like

480
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:08.599
<v Speaker 4>if these guys, if both teams really compete and maybe fall,

481
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:11.720
<v Speaker 4>maybe come up a little bit short, like there's that's

482
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:14.079
<v Speaker 4>that's nothing to hang your hat on or or head on,

483
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:17.920
<v Speaker 4>like like I think that they'll both be be okay.

484
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:22.119
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you know, I I honestly think like Louisville

485
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:25.400
<v Speaker 4>has I wouldn't be surprised out of both teams, to

486
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:27.359
<v Speaker 4>be quite honest with you. And I don't know why.

487
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:30.240
<v Speaker 4>This is just a gut feeling. I almost wouldn't be

488
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:34.559
<v Speaker 4>surprised if Louisville beat Tennessee on on Saturday. And I'll

489
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:37.920
<v Speaker 4>tell you why. Number one, I think the energy in

490
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:40.160
<v Speaker 4>the m Center is going to be off the charts.

491
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:42.480
<v Speaker 4>Like the other night, you know, the lower bowl was

492
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:46.519
<v Speaker 4>completely full and then you know they were they were

493
00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:50.519
<v Speaker 4>like some sprinkles you know, up top around. But I

494
00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:52.119
<v Speaker 4>think the energy in the building is going to be

495
00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:54.839
<v Speaker 4>off the charts. I think they're gonna be at home.

496
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:57.240
<v Speaker 4>I think it's gonna it's gonna get them juiced up.

497
00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:02.759
<v Speaker 4>You know, Tennessee, and you know, I haven't seen them

498
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:05.319
<v Speaker 4>play this year, but I do know they have a

499
00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:08.599
<v Speaker 4>lot of new pieces that they're also working with, and

500
00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:11.799
<v Speaker 4>Rick Barnes has a style. In the last couple of years,

501
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:13.920
<v Speaker 4>it felt like they had a lot of the same

502
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:16.640
<v Speaker 4>Maybe they bring in a player or two, but they've

503
00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:19.519
<v Speaker 4>had a lot of the same pieces back and so

504
00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:22.559
<v Speaker 4>you know, that system is kind of in place. I

505
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:25.480
<v Speaker 4>don't know if they're still trying to work it out,

506
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:29.480
<v Speaker 4>because you know, a Rick Barnes coach team is extremely

507
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:32.000
<v Speaker 4>tough defensively and they don't give up a lot of

508
00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:35.240
<v Speaker 4>easy stuff. But I think that they've still may be

509
00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:39.279
<v Speaker 4>working out the kinks a little bit. So honestly, like

510
00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:42.920
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't be shocked if Louisville beat Tennessee on on Saturday.

511
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:44.079
<v Speaker 5>I'm with you. I talked.

512
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:47.200
<v Speaker 2>I talked about that a little bit yesterday because I just,

513
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:49.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, Tennessee. To me, they look like the perfect

514
00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:52.160
<v Speaker 2>example of a team that is ranked where they are

515
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:54.519
<v Speaker 2>based off of a special season. They had a year ago,

516
00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:56.519
<v Speaker 2>and respect for Rick Barnes, who's the most who's the

517
00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:58.720
<v Speaker 2>winningest coach in the SEC in the last seven years,

518
00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:01.000
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not saying like it's it's egregious, but like

519
00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:04.839
<v Speaker 2>their top guy coming back is Ziggler, who has been

520
00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:06.480
<v Speaker 2>there for a while and he's been a productive, really

521
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:09.559
<v Speaker 2>good guard. But you're right elsewhere, they filled their roster

522
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:12.799
<v Speaker 2>with some other transfer portal guys that really aren't probably

523
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:14.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, we'll see obviously it's tough to know, but

524
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:17.319
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't say that they were as highly coveted as

525
00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:19.400
<v Speaker 2>some of the guys that Louisville added, and then the

526
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:21.440
<v Speaker 2>guys that they bring back outside of Ziggiler. You're just

527
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:24.440
<v Speaker 2>expecting that they make a bigger jump. So I'm trying

528
00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:25.680
<v Speaker 2>not to get my hope. So I'm looking at it,

529
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:27.440
<v Speaker 2>of course from a fan standpoint, I know you're not,

530
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:30.720
<v Speaker 2>but like I kind of expect Louisville to beat Tennessee,

531
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:33.519
<v Speaker 2>which just makes me realize I'm a lunatic maybe because

532
00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:36.440
<v Speaker 2>that's I mean, expecting Pat Kelsey to get that kind

533
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:38.599
<v Speaker 2>of a win in his second game, and knowing how

534
00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:40.440
<v Speaker 2>long it's been since Louisville won a game like that.

535
00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:42.319
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy, but you make me feel a little bit

536
00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:44.039
<v Speaker 2>less like a lunatic. So thank you, because I just

537
00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:46.559
<v Speaker 2>think looking at personnel, looking at you know, the two

538
00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:49.519
<v Speaker 2>different styles, like I shouldn't say that I'd be like

539
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:51.400
<v Speaker 2>shocked if they lose, but I kind of feel like

540
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:53.799
<v Speaker 2>if they win, I kind of feel like maybe that's

541
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:54.519
<v Speaker 2>what they were supposed to do.

542
00:24:55.599 --> 00:25:00.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. So and you know that has a sing and

543
00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:02.799
<v Speaker 4>doesn't that feel good? Yeah?

544
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:05.279
<v Speaker 5>Hell yeah, you know what I mean.

545
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:07.920
<v Speaker 4>Like, so I was at I obviously was at the

546
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:10.680
<v Speaker 4>Morehead State game the other the other night. By the way,

547
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:17.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, proud Alma Mater. I expected maybe a little

548
00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:21.240
<v Speaker 4>bit more, and I shouldn't have because you know, Preston

549
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:24.480
<v Speaker 4>Spradling went to JMU, they got a new coach, you know,

550
00:25:24.640 --> 00:25:26.319
<v Speaker 4>like you're just not going to be able to kind

551
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:28.200
<v Speaker 4>of turn the roster over the way that they were

552
00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:32.440
<v Speaker 4>going to be. So they were not as good as

553
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:35.359
<v Speaker 4>I thought they would be. But just being in the

554
00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:38.200
<v Speaker 4>arena and I and I said this the other night

555
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:41.759
<v Speaker 4>on the news, I said, you know, Louisville fans watched

556
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:46.039
<v Speaker 4>that game last night almost in complete enjoyment, Like it was.

557
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:50.119
<v Speaker 4>They were getting rowdy they were having a blast. They

558
00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:52.480
<v Speaker 4>weren't like, you know, in the last couple of years

559
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:55.000
<v Speaker 4>they had some crowds that would would get into it

560
00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:58.319
<v Speaker 4>and get loud, but it was almost like trying to

561
00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:01.920
<v Speaker 4>urge something out of their team that wasn't there, you

562
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:04.279
<v Speaker 4>know what I mean, or like, you know, you're you're

563
00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:08.160
<v Speaker 4>going nuts because they're trying to come back from from

564
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:14.000
<v Speaker 4>app state and you just it's like a nervous loud cheer.

565
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:14.880
<v Speaker 4>Does that make sense?

566
00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:17.720
<v Speaker 5>Like absolutely, Yeah, It's like you're it's like a chore.

567
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:22.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. And I talked to I talked to friends of

568
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:24.000
<v Speaker 4>mine that went to the game the other night and

569
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:26.119
<v Speaker 4>they haven't been to a game in a couple of years,

570
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:30.039
<v Speaker 4>and they were, you know, they were there and they

571
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:33.400
<v Speaker 4>were just having a ball. And I saw another buddy

572
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:35.839
<v Speaker 4>of mine who was there with his son. They were

573
00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:38.720
<v Speaker 4>having a ball, and it was like, man, it's been

574
00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:42.160
<v Speaker 4>a long time since people had this kind of a

575
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:43.240
<v Speaker 4>time in this arena.

576
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:44.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

577
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:47.119
<v Speaker 2>And the one thing that I think will always stick

578
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:51.160
<v Speaker 2>with me this season is you're up fifty points, no exaggeration,

579
00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:54.759
<v Speaker 2>and there's two minutes roughly left and you still I mean,

580
00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Pat Kelsey really doesn't have I mean, he'll empty the

581
00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:59.079
<v Speaker 2>bench with some of the walk ons, but I mean

582
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:00.880
<v Speaker 2>he's going to try to go about ten deep. So

583
00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:03.119
<v Speaker 2>you know you're gonna see guys in late even when

584
00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:05.640
<v Speaker 2>they're up big. But you had a shot clock violation

585
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:07.519
<v Speaker 2>for the Louisville defense. They were still giving that amount

586
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:09.559
<v Speaker 2>of effort up fifty with just a couple of minutes left,

587
00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:11.359
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of the fans that went were still there.

588
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:13.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they were enjoying it so much. As you mentioned,

589
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:14.759
<v Speaker 2>it was just a you know, people kind of got

590
00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:16.720
<v Speaker 2>lost in it and forgot how awesome it is to

591
00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:19.720
<v Speaker 2>just not worry about previous seasons or records or who

592
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:22.000
<v Speaker 2>you're playing, just watching your team play and with that,

593
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:24.319
<v Speaker 2>with that level of effort, and obviously they were playing

594
00:27:24.359 --> 00:27:27.160
<v Speaker 2>really well, but they got a shotlock violation and everybody

595
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:29.200
<v Speaker 2>there was stood up and clapping like it was just like,

596
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:31.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, it just seemed like a like a

597
00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:34.160
<v Speaker 2>moment that you know, wow, like this really is what

598
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:36.640
<v Speaker 2>we will do as fans if, in fact, you give

599
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:38.960
<v Speaker 2>a good product out there and these guys play hard,

600
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:42.640
<v Speaker 2>and that's that's exactly what they did. I'm not going

601
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:44.480
<v Speaker 2>to ask you to like, you know, I guess I

602
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:46.400
<v Speaker 2>am going to ask you all lied what would be

603
00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:49.039
<v Speaker 2>your guess as to what could be done to get

604
00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:51.920
<v Speaker 2>attendance not twenty two thousand, but obviously it's been a

605
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:54.839
<v Speaker 2>big conversation. Games like more Head stayed on a Monday.

606
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:57.519
<v Speaker 2>The fans that were there the lower Bowl was pretty crowded,

607
00:27:57.559 --> 00:27:59.839
<v Speaker 2>and they were they were into it, and I think

608
00:27:59.880 --> 00:28:03.680
<v Speaker 2>they provided a great atmosphere. But is it realistic to

609
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:05.920
<v Speaker 2>expect when you play like I think Louisill could be

610
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:08.799
<v Speaker 2>in a much different situation as far as previous seasons

611
00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:12.079
<v Speaker 2>that weren't nearly as bad and still probably have a

612
00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:15.240
<v Speaker 2>tough time getting a real big crowd for those kind

613
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:17.559
<v Speaker 2>of games. I don't really think that it's it's a problem.

614
00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:20.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, some of it's a product of recency as

615
00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:22.519
<v Speaker 2>far as the struggles that they've had, But I just

616
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:24.279
<v Speaker 2>feel like it's tough to get people to want to

617
00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:25.720
<v Speaker 2>go to a game like that on a on a

618
00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:27.519
<v Speaker 2>Tuesday or a Monday night when you're playing a team

619
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:28.559
<v Speaker 2>and you're favorite about thirty.

620
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:32.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, okay, so let me when I say what I'm

621
00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:35.680
<v Speaker 4>about to say, I understand that I am not criticizing

622
00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:37.920
<v Speaker 4>fans at all, Like it's your money. You do what

623
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:40.480
<v Speaker 4>you want to do, Like I get it right, But

624
00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:43.359
<v Speaker 4>I don't think fans go to games anymore, Like I

625
00:28:43.400 --> 00:28:46.599
<v Speaker 4>think they go to the big games, but I don't,

626
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:50.640
<v Speaker 4>like I think the days of packed houses for directional

627
00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:53.920
<v Speaker 4>school games, I think those days are over.

628
00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:54.640
<v Speaker 5>I agree.

629
00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:59.640
<v Speaker 4>And I just think that, like whether it's ticket prices,

630
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:02.359
<v Speaker 4>whether it's you know, like the whatever the dollar is,

631
00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:05.400
<v Speaker 4>Like you know, I kind of go back some some

632
00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:08.759
<v Speaker 4>of it is like Alabama football, like they don't they

633
00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:11.480
<v Speaker 4>don't get those kind of things for the directional school

634
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:14.720
<v Speaker 4>games earlier in the year, or like lesser SEC teams,

635
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:16.640
<v Speaker 4>like they don't did sellouts anymore.

636
00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:17.319
<v Speaker 2>And so.

637
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:21.799
<v Speaker 4>Kentucky basketball, they don't anymore, you know what I mean,

638
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:24.440
<v Speaker 4>Like they don't, Like Rough's not packed every night like that,

639
00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:28.240
<v Speaker 4>nobody's going games anymore. I mean earlier in the earlier

640
00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:30.359
<v Speaker 4>in the season, like Louisville football was ranked in the

641
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:34.960
<v Speaker 4>top fifteen, the joint was half full for SMU. Like, man,

642
00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:37.640
<v Speaker 4>people just aren't going to games anymore like they used to.

643
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:40.839
<v Speaker 4>It's just you know, whether it's whether it's you know,

644
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:44.200
<v Speaker 4>TVs have gotten really nice and and everybody's streaming and

645
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:47.000
<v Speaker 4>you can now get all the games on TV. You know,

646
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:49.759
<v Speaker 4>whatever the reason is, I just don't. I just don't

647
00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:54.240
<v Speaker 4>think those days are are ever coming back now, you know,

648
00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:57.240
<v Speaker 4>like a game like Saturday, or like when Duke comes

649
00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:59.279
<v Speaker 4>to the KFC Young Center, like, yeah, the joint's going

650
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:02.400
<v Speaker 4>to be packed, But when it comes to the random

651
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:05.799
<v Speaker 4>Monday Wednesday games, like, I just don't think those those

652
00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:06.920
<v Speaker 4>days are ever coming back.

653
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I could not agree more. I think it's it's

654
00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:13.079
<v Speaker 2>honestly kind of a generational thing. I think that the

655
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:17.359
<v Speaker 2>younger adults, you know, people between you know, mid twenties

656
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:21.000
<v Speaker 2>to to around forty, they just don't see the real

657
00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:23.319
<v Speaker 2>incentive to be a season ticket holder, and maybe they

658
00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:25.279
<v Speaker 2>can't afford it. I mean, it's not something that's super cheap.

659
00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:28.039
<v Speaker 2>And there's a lot of talk about lack of attendance

660
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:30.240
<v Speaker 2>because it is important to have, you know, good crowds

661
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:34.319
<v Speaker 2>and whatnot. But sometimes it's really not that something's terribly wrong.

662
00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:37.359
<v Speaker 2>It's just I think society has evolved, and to your point,

663
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:40.279
<v Speaker 2>really everywhere big games people will go to because there

664
00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:43.119
<v Speaker 2>but the directional schools, the ones that you know, you know,

665
00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:45.359
<v Speaker 2>you can just enjoy in the comfort of your home

666
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:47.720
<v Speaker 2>and still cheer like it's it's pretty hard to turn

667
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:50.200
<v Speaker 2>that down for a lot of people. All Right, real quick,

668
00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:52.920
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk about tonight's Bengals Ravens game. Obviously,

669
00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:55.079
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals won three out of four. They've got a

670
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:58.480
<v Speaker 2>little bit of momentum, confidence level. I know you're a

671
00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:00.599
<v Speaker 2>Bengals fan. They got a big challenge, a really good

672
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Thursday night game. But where is Kin Spencer when it

673
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:05.519
<v Speaker 2>comes to confidence level in his Bengals?

674
00:31:05.559 --> 00:31:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Three out of ten?

675
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:13.680
<v Speaker 4>Just just just a three? You know, I think what

676
00:31:13.839 --> 00:31:16.880
<v Speaker 4>is it? T Higgins is out or doubt for or whatever?

677
00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:18.839
<v Speaker 2>I think, you know, yeah, Higgins is out. I think

678
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:21.200
<v Speaker 2>the offensive lineman that'd been banged up is going to play.

679
00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:27.039
<v Speaker 4>Though, Yeah yeah he Orlando Brown, yes is back. You know,

680
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:29.119
<v Speaker 4>obviously the Bengals should have won the game. The first

681
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:31.480
<v Speaker 4>time those two played, that game was in Cincinnati. This

682
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:33.880
<v Speaker 4>game is in Baltimore. Like, it makes it so much

683
00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:37.880
<v Speaker 4>more difficult, you know, to try to beat them there. Uh,

684
00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:39.880
<v Speaker 4>they've gotten a little bit healthier on the on the

685
00:31:39.920 --> 00:31:45.680
<v Speaker 4>defensive front. But I'm just you know, I'm I'm just

686
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:49.960
<v Speaker 4>not a believer in this team this year Baltimore. You know,

687
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:52.799
<v Speaker 4>they added some pieces of free agency. You know, this

688
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.039
<v Speaker 4>is you know, Baltimore, this is clearly like they're going

689
00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:59.240
<v Speaker 4>all in to try to get a Super Bowl this year.

690
00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:02.880
<v Speaker 4>They feel like this is their year. And I think

691
00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:05.680
<v Speaker 4>they feel like, you know, they've made so many whether

692
00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:07.839
<v Speaker 4>it's the off season or whether it's during the season,

693
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:11.759
<v Speaker 4>they've made so many moves in free agency. Like it's

694
00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:14.240
<v Speaker 4>pretty clear they feel like whatever window that they have

695
00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:17.240
<v Speaker 4>is kind of closing. Yeah, they need to make them

696
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:19.720
<v Speaker 4>and they need to make their move now. When teams

697
00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:23.680
<v Speaker 4>do this, that's the desperate that's the desperation that's coming out.

698
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:26.079
<v Speaker 4>And look, they've got a they've got a really good

699
00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:29.759
<v Speaker 4>team with a lot of good pieces, and you know,

700
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:32.279
<v Speaker 4>they lost a couple of weeks ago to the Cleveland Browns.

701
00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:35.039
<v Speaker 4>You know, like they like they need to get this one.

702
00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:38.480
<v Speaker 4>It's not just the Bengals are playing desperate. Baltimore is

703
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:42.599
<v Speaker 4>playing desperate. And so for that reason, like you're gonna

704
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:45.079
<v Speaker 4>have to have all your offensive weapons to give yourself

705
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:49.720
<v Speaker 4>a chance against this defense, against this team. I'm just

706
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:52.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm just not high on the Bengals chances tonight.

707
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:55.279
<v Speaker 2>From what you've seen so far with with the Ravens,

708
00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:58.000
<v Speaker 2>do you feel like the I mean, they've had some

709
00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:00.319
<v Speaker 2>really good seasons. Lamar's played really good football in those

710
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:02.119
<v Speaker 2>seasons where he's won the MVP, but they've not been

711
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:03.880
<v Speaker 2>able to break through and get all the way to

712
00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:05.920
<v Speaker 2>the Super Bowl. Of course, easier said than done, especially

713
00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:08.720
<v Speaker 2>when you're going up against Patrick Mahomes and what the

714
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs have, which certainly seems like a dynasty. But am

715
00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:13.839
<v Speaker 2>I am I. I mean again, anybody can loose to

716
00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:15.920
<v Speaker 2>anybody in the NFL. The Ravens have shown that three

717
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:17.839
<v Speaker 2>times this year, well twice, I mean the loss of

718
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:19.279
<v Speaker 2>the Raid to the Raiders and then of course the

719
00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:20.680
<v Speaker 2>loss of the Browns was not expected.

720
00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:21.880
<v Speaker 5>But I'm with you.

721
00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:23.200
<v Speaker 2>I kind of feel like not to say that if

722
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:24.599
<v Speaker 2>they don't get it done this year, they're never going

723
00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:26.400
<v Speaker 2>to get it done. But like this is like Lamar's

724
00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:28.839
<v Speaker 2>playing better football than he's ever played. Derick Henry is

725
00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:31.000
<v Speaker 2>still dominating as a running back. Like I think that

726
00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:32.799
<v Speaker 2>actually kind of adds some pressure to him a little bit.

727
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:37.400
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I think. So, I mean, look, everybody knows, like

728
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:39.720
<v Speaker 4>when your front office is making these kind of moves,

729
00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:41.359
<v Speaker 4>like those players know.

730
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:42.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Like the.

731
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:45.359
<v Speaker 4>Expectation is to win the whole thing and do it

732
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:49.480
<v Speaker 4>this year. And it's tough. You know. The thing about

733
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:54.119
<v Speaker 4>it is is, you know and less and less Kansas

734
00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:57.599
<v Speaker 4>City goes through like a really hard spot during this season,

735
00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:02.279
<v Speaker 4>like the road's going through Arrowhead. Yeah, and I'm look,

736
00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:04.319
<v Speaker 4>Mahomes doesn't lose an Arrowheads.

737
00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:08.039
<v Speaker 2>He does not not in the postseason.

738
00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:10.480
<v Speaker 4>Hey, let me let me correct that just.

739
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:15.239
<v Speaker 5>For a s one. We know who did it, Old.

740
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:20.480
<v Speaker 4>Joe Shisty got it done, but but he really doesn't.

741
00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:22.840
<v Speaker 4>He doesn't really lose an arrowhead. So but but I

742
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:24.960
<v Speaker 4>think that, yeah, there is pressure to in order to

743
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:30.079
<v Speaker 4>get this done. But like remember last year they got

744
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:33.760
<v Speaker 4>to the playoffs and Baltimore decided to call like all

745
00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:34.480
<v Speaker 4>past plays.

746
00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:37.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, like the abandoned the run, abandon the thing

747
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:38.559
<v Speaker 2>that really got him there.

748
00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:44.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. So like if they're if they're smart, right and

749
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:49.039
<v Speaker 4>they're there, they lean heavily on the run, game on

750
00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:52.280
<v Speaker 4>Derrick Henry, on Lamar's legs and then and then play

751
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:56.079
<v Speaker 4>you know, use that for play action. If that's their formula,

752
00:34:56.559 --> 00:35:00.880
<v Speaker 4>then they can definitely they'll have a chance and Arrowhead

753
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:02.199
<v Speaker 4>in the playoffs.

754
00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Good stuff, as always, can appreciate the time, enjoy the

755
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:09.159
<v Speaker 2>game tonight and whatever you're doing to not age keep

756
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:09.400
<v Speaker 2>it up.

757
00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:12.639
<v Speaker 4>Brother, Hey, let me tell you something. We got the elixir.

758
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:14.599
<v Speaker 5>We're ready to go. Good stuff.

759
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:17.360
<v Speaker 2>That is Kid Spencer from WHS eleven. I always appreciate

760
00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:19.719
<v Speaker 2>him making time for us. Good stuff there, all right?

761
00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of good stuff, how about blue Choo. I mean,

762
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:26.239
<v Speaker 2>if you don't know what Bluechoo is, you should. I'm

763
00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:27.880
<v Speaker 2>surprised that you don't, but I'll tell you what it is.

764
00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:30.199
<v Speaker 2>One thing I know that you know about is sex

765
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:33.559
<v Speaker 2>because sex is pretty popular. People seem to really like

766
00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:35.920
<v Speaker 2>the sex. But what if I told you something that

767
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:38.800
<v Speaker 2>you already like and really enjoy could be even better.

768
00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:40.760
<v Speaker 5>That's where blue Choo comes in.

769
00:35:41.239 --> 00:35:45.840
<v Speaker 2>Blue Choo is not just something that can assist you

770
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:48.440
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to being able to get the job done.

771
00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:53.639
<v Speaker 2>It's also something that can enhance the experience overall. And again,

772
00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:55.880
<v Speaker 2>why wouldn't you want to take something that's already great

773
00:35:55.920 --> 00:35:58.079
<v Speaker 2>and make it even better? Again, Bluechoo can help you

774

<v Speaker 2>It's an online prescription service, so again you don't have

794
00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:51.840
<v Speaker 5>I wasn't ready for that.

795
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:53.880
<v Speaker 3>I could tell it was time. We haven't done aeron tippity.

796
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:55.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I need to be a little more prepared

797
00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:59.280
<v Speaker 2>for this aeron tip And this is some good stuff

798
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:04.239
<v Speaker 2>right here. I've got to be one of maybe I

799
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:08.119
<v Speaker 2>don't know ten people on the planet that considers themselves

800
00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:10.360
<v Speaker 2>like a die hard Aaron Tipping fan. Like I'm sure

801
00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:13.239
<v Speaker 2>he's got fans, but you know, they're probably all old

802
00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:15.440
<v Speaker 2>enough to be my grandpa and don't remember Aaron Tipping

803
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:18.800
<v Speaker 2>because you know, he hasn't been mainstream relevant in a long,

804
00:37:18.840 --> 00:37:21.679
<v Speaker 2>long long time. But I'd put myself up there. I

805
00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:24.840
<v Speaker 2>can probably recite more of his song's word for word

806
00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:27.199
<v Speaker 2>than maybe anybody on the planet, which really isn't something

807
00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:27.800
<v Speaker 2>to brag about.

808
00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:30.159
<v Speaker 3>It's just you know, definitely when it comes to people

809
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:31.199
<v Speaker 3>your age.

810
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:32.039
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, yeah.

811
00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:38.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean I got hooked on blue collar country at

812
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:41.719
<v Speaker 2>a very early age. And I say blue collar country

813
00:37:41.719 --> 00:37:43.760
<v Speaker 2>because a lot of people just say nineties country, which

814
00:37:43.800 --> 00:37:46.960
<v Speaker 2>it technically still is the blue collar country. It's the

815
00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:50.159
<v Speaker 2>guys who, you know, they wouldn't be able to actually

816
00:37:50.199 --> 00:37:52.719
<v Speaker 2>they may because there's some guys who wouldn't necessarily think

817
00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:54.800
<v Speaker 2>have the you know, there was a stretch there where

818
00:37:54.840 --> 00:37:57.800
<v Speaker 2>your image, how you looked mattered way more than what

819
00:37:57.880 --> 00:37:59.519
<v Speaker 2>you sound and how good of an artist you were,

820
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:01.239
<v Speaker 2>but not you know, back in the day, look if

821
00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:04.199
<v Speaker 2>you could if you could get the Honky Tonk hits

822
00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:05.960
<v Speaker 2>roll and then you know, you could be a star

823
00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:10.199
<v Speaker 2>like Mark Chestnut. Aaron Tippin's one of them.

824
00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:13.920
<v Speaker 3>Who else, Tracy Lawrence? Does he fit that category?

825
00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:14.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

826
00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:15.960
<v Speaker 5>But he he had he was a star.

827
00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:18.280
<v Speaker 2>He had a little bit more longevity than these other

828
00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:23.480
<v Speaker 2>guys that I'm mentioning. Okay, Darryl, Darryl Singletary, r ip

829
00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:24.320
<v Speaker 2>he passed away.

830
00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:25.239
<v Speaker 5>Just guys who you.

831
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Know, look like look like your average joe, blue collar

832
00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:30.199
<v Speaker 2>guys that you know had had a good run there.

833
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:34.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh he Clay Walker. I kind of put him in

834
00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:38.719
<v Speaker 2>there a little bit. But yeah, Aaron Tippins, I'm a

835
00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:41.000
<v Speaker 2>big fan. And yes, I'm sure many of you think

836
00:38:41.000 --> 00:38:44.760
<v Speaker 2>that's weird, But if you've listened to this show at

837
00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:46.719
<v Speaker 2>least a little bit, you probably already thought I was weird.

838
00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:47.639
<v Speaker 5>All right.

839
00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:50.639
<v Speaker 2>So tonight big Thursday night football game, and I keep

840
00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:52.760
<v Speaker 2>saying that, thinking, like, man, this is one of the

841
00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:55.360
<v Speaker 2>best Thursday night games we've had in a while. And

842
00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:57.199
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's just because you know, I know that locally,

843
00:38:57.239 --> 00:38:59.760
<v Speaker 2>there's gonna be a lot of interest because of two things. One,

844
00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:02.480
<v Speaker 2>there's a big Bengals fan base, here. In fact, we

845
00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:06.599
<v Speaker 2>are your home for the Cincinnati Bengals, but also Lamar Jackson.

846
00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:08.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's appointment viewing for a lot of people,

847
00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:12.840
<v Speaker 2>but clearly Louisville fans they are. They're taking full advantage

848
00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:14.800
<v Speaker 2>of being able to watch their former Heisman Trophy winner

849
00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:17.519
<v Speaker 2>put together really his best season he's ever had, and

850
00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:21.360
<v Speaker 2>that's pretty impressive considering he's already won the MVP Trophy twice.

851
00:39:21.719 --> 00:39:23.599
<v Speaker 2>But we were talking with Kid Spencer just a moment ago,

852
00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:26.599
<v Speaker 2>and I think Kid is spot on that the window.

853
00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:28.320
<v Speaker 2>It's not to say that if they don't win it

854
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:30.840
<v Speaker 2>this year, they're never going to do it, but I

855
00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:33.920
<v Speaker 2>think that you go ahead and get Derrick Henry, and

856
00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:35.320
<v Speaker 2>you don't know at the time when you do it

857
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:38.360
<v Speaker 2>if he's going to be the same guy, right because

858
00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:41.199
<v Speaker 2>at any moment, man these running backs fall off a cliff.

859
00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:44.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean they can Father Tom will take him out

860
00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:47.800
<v Speaker 2>in no time. But that hasn't happened with Derrick Henry yet.

861
00:39:47.960 --> 00:39:50.119
<v Speaker 2>And you've got your quarterback, Lamar Jackson playing the best

862
00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:51.760
<v Speaker 2>football of his career. I mean, Dereck Henry right now,

863
00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:53.880
<v Speaker 2>think about this. The Titans let him walk. Other teams

864
00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:55.559
<v Speaker 2>didn't want him. The Ravens got him and Derick Henry.

865
00:39:55.599 --> 00:39:59.639
<v Speaker 2>Right now, he ranks first in rushes, first in rushing

866
00:39:59.679 --> 00:40:02.480
<v Speaker 2>yards and rushing touchdowns. He has the longest rush of

867
00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:06.559
<v Speaker 2>the season in the NFL. He has the longest rushing

868
00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:10.400
<v Speaker 2>yards for first downs. He has the longest scrimmage yards.

869
00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:14.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's he's having the best season of his career,

870
00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:16.440
<v Speaker 2>it seems, which is rare for running back at his age.

871
00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:20.480
<v Speaker 2>And then Lamar right now, I mean he's first in

872
00:40:20.519 --> 00:40:27.039
<v Speaker 2>the NFL and passer rating passing yards per attempt, rushing yards.

873
00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:29.400
<v Speaker 5>Of course, that's always going to be something he's elite in.

874
00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:34.320
<v Speaker 2>He's tied for first in the pass and touchdown interception ratio,

875
00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:38.440
<v Speaker 2>tied for second for passing touchdowns. Overall, only one quarterback

876
00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:41.119
<v Speaker 2>has more passing yards than him. I mean, these guys

877
00:40:41.159 --> 00:40:43.639
<v Speaker 2>are having the best seasons.

878
00:40:43.239 --> 00:40:43.880
<v Speaker 5>Of their career.

879
00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:48.800
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I think the Chiefs this year, despite

880
00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:50.880
<v Speaker 2>being unbeaten, and this is the best start they've ever

881
00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:54.360
<v Speaker 2>had in this era. In fact, I think I saw

882
00:40:54.400 --> 00:40:56.280
<v Speaker 2>that it's the best start that they've ever had. I mean,

883
00:40:56.320 --> 00:40:57.840
<v Speaker 2>what are they now eight or eight? No, nine to no,

884
00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:00.119
<v Speaker 2>something like that. So like getting through this in the

885
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:03.480
<v Speaker 2>playoffs is still going to be really, really difficult. But man,

886
00:41:03.480 --> 00:41:05.760
<v Speaker 2>I actually feel like this Chiefs team when I watch him,

887
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:08.639
<v Speaker 2>they seem a little more beatable than maybe they have

888
00:41:08.760 --> 00:41:12.119
<v Speaker 2>in other years. But you know, they could limp in

889
00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:14.000
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs and I'm still gonna need to see them

890
00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:16.199
<v Speaker 2>go down before. I just expect it to happen because

891
00:41:16.199 --> 00:41:19.119
<v Speaker 2>that's how special they have been. And really that Pat

892
00:41:19.119 --> 00:41:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Mahome does in the playoffs, but I just wanted so

893
00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:25.599
<v Speaker 2>badly for Lamar to be able to get over that hump,

894
00:41:26.320 --> 00:41:28.159
<v Speaker 2>and it doesn't. You know, it's not like he needs

895
00:41:28.199 --> 00:41:29.920
<v Speaker 2>to do that in order for people to acknowledge that

896
00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:32.800
<v Speaker 2>he's really, really good. But he's done so much already

897
00:41:32.840 --> 00:41:35.199
<v Speaker 2>as an individual player that like, that's really the only

898
00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:37.400
<v Speaker 2>thing left for him to be. I think crowned is

899
00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:38.599
<v Speaker 2>one of the best to ever do it. And you

900
00:41:38.639 --> 00:41:40.920
<v Speaker 2>could make the claim that he is without the super Bowl,

901
00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:43.079
<v Speaker 2>but man, nobody could deny it if he gets if

902
00:41:43.079 --> 00:41:45.679
<v Speaker 2>he gets a ring. But again, easier said than done.

903
00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:48.320
