WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.799 Alex our White lawyers to Distracted Driver dot Com and 2 00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:05.080 you know, they of course are our postgame show sponsor 3 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:07.040 and we will have the postgame show this evening. But 4 00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:09.400 again big thanks to Alex for having us and hopping on. 5 00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:13.560 Also Eric Benson, it was really cool to hear them, 6 00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:15.560 and you guys heard. You guys heard a lot of 7 00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:18.559 it when it comes to just sort of the background 8 00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:22.640 and how they wanted to help out. And I realized 9 00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:25.239 whenever they were explaining it to me, how I just 10 00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:26.760 took it for granted that you know what, when I 11 00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.879 turned sixteen and I had a driver's license for the 12 00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:33.719 first time, I had a car, my father handed down 13 00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:35.960 one of his older cars to me, and I didn't 14 00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.840 have to worry about when I started working or started 15 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:40.799 my adult life, like what am I going to do 16 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.039 for a vehicle. And there's so many people out there 17 00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.079 that aren't fortunate to have that, including those that are 18 00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.079 in the foster care system that are clearly at a 19 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:51.079 disadvantage than most people. So a really good cause. And 20 00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.359 you know, not to be corny, but I feel like 21 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:59.960 we've never with trust me, I'm not making this political, 22 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.799 but we are clearly very divided right now as a country, 23 00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:05.159 more so than I can ever remember in my lifetime. 24 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.840 So I feel like the sentimental good stories of you know, 25 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:13.760 reminding us that there are a lot of good. There 26 00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:15.400 is a lot of good out there when it comes 27 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.640 to people that are doing kind acts for others. That 28 00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:20.439 hits a little different now than it ever did, just 29 00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:23.200 because again, if you turn on the television, if you 30 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.560 pop open the Texic or the toxic wasteland of social 31 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.959 media that you know, you're reminded more often than you're 32 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:34.280 more often reminded how crazy we are right now at times, 33 00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:36.599 not everybody, but obviously like it's you know, it's it's 34 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:39.560 I'll put it. So, I'm just ready for the selection 35 00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.120 to be over. But what I love hearing is that 36 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:46.799 whenever they do, meaning Eric and Alex explain to other 37 00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.480 you know, partners essentially right, those who can help get 38 00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.079 them a vehicle up and running that maybe needed some 39 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.439 work because it's a little bit older. They're willing to help, 40 00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:57.840 and it sounds like they don't even hesitate to say, yes, 41 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.239 that's a great cause, we'd love to help out like that. 42 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.000 That's again, to go back to what I said a 43 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:06.159 moment ago, those kind of stories are are always worth sharing, 44 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:08.639 and it's always nice to be reminded that there are 45 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.039 good people out there doing good stuff to help others 46 00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:13.319 in need. But it just seems as if it it 47 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.400 it it's needed more now than maybe it's ever been so. 48 00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:19.719 And also they've got Matt Hoffman is as Eric mentioned 49 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:20.919 he was going to pick him. I thinkt gonna pick 50 00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:22.599 hm up from the airport. So yeah, they've got their 51 00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:26.800 big event tomorrow, the the Rad Revival. And if you 52 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:30.719 are somebody like myself who loves the eighties and nineties, 53 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:32.520 then I mean this is this is your event, so 54 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:36.639 uh yeah, it'll be uh tomorrow at Paristown Hall. And 55 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.560 I think I may have figured out a little date 56 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.039 night for me and the wife, which you know, we 57 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.080 don't get enough date nights at least not as much 58 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.400 as we used to. So all right, let's uh, let's 59 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.680 let's dive back in here to uh to to the 60 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.520 football side of things, and we'll have the pregame show 61 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.000 coming up here at six point thirty to get into 62 00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.400 you know, the Boston College matchup specifically. But when it 63 00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.680 comes to the Colin Lacey news, I would say that 64 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:04.840 is you know, his decision is clearly an unpopular one 65 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.280 in the eyes of most people. To be honest with you, 66 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.199 I mean, if you're a Louisville fan, this is certainly 67 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:12.240 not news that you were happy to hear about. I'm sure, 68 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.479 although if I was gonna, if I was forced to 69 00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.680 maybe provide a silver lining as far as a potential 70 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:20.719 positive here, I would say that if he comes back, 71 00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.879 then you know that's a win because this year, like 72 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.400 if you told, if you told, let's let's put it 73 00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:29.560 this way again. I'm not trying to act like anybody 74 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.319 that's upset and just turned off by this new world 75 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.840 of college athletics where players can do what Colin is doing, 76 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:39.400 Like I totally understand it. But if you said to 77 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:43.000 a Louisville fan after the loss to Miami, when you 78 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.840 essentially realize you're two and two in league play at 79 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:47.919 this point and you can still have a good year, 80 00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:49.759 no doubt, like I think they could go beat Clemson 81 00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.000 and if they do, hell yeah. And I've never been 82 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:53.479 somebody that says they've got to go to the AEC 83 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.080 Championship annually for it to be viewed as a as 84 00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.319 a really good season. So if I would have said 85 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.759 after the Miami loss. Look, would you put Colin Lacy 86 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.680 on the shelf if it meant you had him healthy 87 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:06.879 all next year and he gets that year of eligibility. 88 00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:08.840 I don't know how you would answer it, but I 89 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:11.199 would say yes. And it's not because I'm writing off 90 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.199 this year as if it just doesn't matter anymore because 91 00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:15.479 they've lost three games. But he's a really good player, 92 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:18.399 and I think you you know, not to say you'd 93 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:20.879 be just fine without him, because clearly he's a valuable guy. 94 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:23.519 But I think this would have been a lot different. 95 00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:28.079 Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you know. We're learning ourselves how 96 00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.120 we react to this because it's all brand news, So 97 00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.279 I don't know how I would react or how others 98 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:34.759 would have reacted. But if it was a hey, he's 99 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:39.639 still dealing with some nagging pain discomfort from the collarbone 100 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.839 injury and the surgery to where in order of him 101 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:45.879 potentially getting hurt again, he's just gonna get healthy and 102 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.399 utilize the loophole if you will, that he could come 103 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.680 back for an extra year if he doesn't burn the 104 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.199 full year of eligibility. I would have said, yeah, I 105 00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.319 mean that makes sense. Now he still might come back 106 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:01.120 to Louisville. But what he's doing is knowing he's got 107 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:03.959 options and knowing he's got the ability to go put 108 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:08.519 some more money in his pocket. And it's again, I 109 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.000 get both sides of it meeting. I get why fans 110 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.399 are bothered by it and turned off and thinking that, 111 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:17.839 you know, the college sports landscape that they grew to 112 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.680 love is now not what it once was. Like, I 113 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.120 get all that, but I also get it from his perspective. 114 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.439 And what I mean by that is, you know, these 115 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.959 guys are employees now and this has turned into a 116 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.800 lucrative job that you can only do for a few 117 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.120 years for a lot of these athletes. So seeing them 118 00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:42.519 prioritize their own needs and you know, relentlessly pursue the 119 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:48.000 best possible opportunities for themselves and their immediate family, that 120 00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.879 shouldn't be a surprise. It's new. We're not used to it. 121 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:53.360 But if you really think about it from that perspective, 122 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.560 I think you would do the same thing. You know, 123 00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:00.040 because what Colin Lacey's doing is really I think I 124 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:04.519 think with the overwhelming majority of the American workforce would do. 125 00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:10.560 I mean, he's got a chance to extend his career 126 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:14.079 as a college football player and make more money that 127 00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.600 could potentially I don't want to say it could be 128 00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:20.759 life changing money, but I think Colin Lacy rather it's 129 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:24.800 it here, it's at Louisville, his first job, whatever it 130 00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.399 is after football, and I don't know, maybe maybe he 131 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:29.959 does play in the NFL for a few years. Maybe 132 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:31.720 he plays in the NFL for a long time. But 133 00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.519 I would say unless he uses his NFL money and 134 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:39.079 invest it in like a business that's booming, whatever career 135 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:40.879 he would get in after football, Like let's just say 136 00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:42.839 he's a practice squad guy for a couple of years 137 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:45.000 and then he realizes he's going to have to find 138 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.759 a career post football. I'd be willing to bet that 139 00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:49.680 next year, if it's at Louisville or if it's elsewhere, 140 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:52.279 he'll make more money in twenty twenty five playing college 141 00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:54.360 football than he probably will at whatever that job is 142 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:58.920 that he does after football. So like it it is. 143 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:01.560 I don't want to say it's full for him to 144 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.199 not take advantage of it, although I kind of believe that, 145 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:06.160 but again, to say that it's foolish to not quit 146 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:08.040 on your team, like they just sound so off and 147 00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.959 it is so again, it's you know, what I think 148 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:16.079 the NCAA should do here is make some changes to 149 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:20.079 this rule about red shirting. That rule exists for different reasons. 150 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:21.879 And what I mean by that is the reason they 151 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:25.639 started letting you play a fifth year if you only 152 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:28.240 played in it at maximum at the MAXI amount of 153 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.680 four games, like it doesn't count as a year of eligibility. 154 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.600 They did that because guys were on the depth chart 155 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.720 at second a third string for two years at times 156 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:42.839 playing one snap in one game and two three snaps 157 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:47.160 in the second season in different games, and that would 158 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:49.000 be half their college career like that. You know that 159 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:50.560 didn't make any sense. You know, this used to be 160 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:53.879 there used to be a saying for that, and you know, 161 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.319 may rest in peace. He's passed away recently and it's 162 00:07:57.399 --> 00:07:59.560 very sad. But Steve Kragthorpe, like there used to be 163 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.759 a thing where oival fans would say you got crackthorped. 164 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.879 He would burn years of eligibility without even thinking like, hey, 165 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.199 we're terrible, We're going to have three or four wins. 166 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:09.839 Why are you playing, you know as true freshmen on 167 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:12.040 special teams and wasting a year of eligibility. I don't 168 00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:15.800 think the insteadly made that rule change because of Cragthorpe, 169 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:20.079 But it was intended to not burn an entire year 170 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.480 for young guys who got their first taste of action 171 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:25.480 on special teams and then never played again. It's not 172 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:28.160 necessarily meant for guys that are doing what Colin Lacy's doing. 173 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:30.680 But again, right now, as the rule stands, he's taking 174 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:34.200 advantage of it. And again I wish I had answers 175 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.039 to the nil component, And I don't, meaning like I 176 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.360 don't know if he got paid up front, if he's 177 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.120 still owed, much like I don't know the stipulations of 178 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:42.759 his contract. But as I've said the last couple of 179 00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.360 days since this became a big story, there's nothing in 180 00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:47.639 a contract that states that he has to do anything 181 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.360 in regards to playing football. Because they're technical was still 182 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:53.600 not allowed to pay for play. It's probably a contract 183 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:56.679 about marketing appearances. And maybe he sticks around and does 184 00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.559 his marketing appearances till December, viniets the portal and dips 185 00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:01.759 and goes out where Like that's also a real possibility 186 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:05.080 that could play out. All right, we got a break 187 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:08.159 coming up here in just a moment, But I did 188 00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:11.679 not expect this to get as much interaction on social 189 00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:14.399 media as it did. But I posted this earlier today, 190 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:18.200 and yes I did take this idea from a UK 191 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:21.559 account that I don't It's called Rare Rookies and I 192 00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:23.639 only know of this not because I follow Rare Rookies. 193 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:26.799 But KSR was talking about it the other day and 194 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.000 I saw Matt's cliff that he posted on Twitter where 195 00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:34.200 somebody put together a just a graphic that showed the 196 00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:38.039 headshots of all I guess the former Kentucky players that 197 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.840 have transferred that are still playing college basketball today. And 198 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.799 it hit me that for Louisville Man, with the turnover 199 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.840 they've had just in the last few years, there's so 200 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:53.000 many guys that you've probably forgotten about, like you don't 201 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.240 even remember. So I put up all the there's sixteen 202 00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:59.440 guys that I posted that played at u of L 203 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.039 in the last three years that are still playing college basketball. 204 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.279 And again it doesn't have I mean, some of the 205 00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.080 pictures don't have the name of the team. Some do, 206 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.559 but it doesn't have a name, it just has their face. 207 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.600 And there's some guys that I completely forgot about. But 208 00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:17.120 I mean there used to be, like you know, there 209 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:20.360 used to be a back and forth between Louisville fans, 210 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:22.120 and I used to do this with my buddies, like, hey, 211 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:27.559 name the most random and easily forgotten former Louisville basketball 212 00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:29.480 or football player, like a guy that you know, you 213 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:31.480 would never think of until somebody brought it up, like, 214 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.159 oh yeah, that guy was pretty good. That won't be 215 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:38.480 a thing anymore because they'll be endless amounts of guys 216 00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:40.960 who you don't remember at all because they were there 217 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:44.120 a year and transferred like everybody else does now. But 218 00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:47.039 this was a wild run where Louisville, of course, was 219 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:49.480 in a situation from a basketball standpoint that we hope 220 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:51.320 they'll never be in again. We never thought they would be, 221 00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.000 but that's why you've had, Like there's a lot of 222 00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.840 roster turnover now in college sports because of the new rules, 223 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.600 but with Louisville, it's been insane on the basketball side, 224 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.000 just because of the obvious situation where they've you know, 225 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:04.120 they've been they were terrible for a while. But Dre Davis, 226 00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:06.440 I bet there's people listening that did not realize Dre 227 00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:09.440 Davis was still playing college basketball. He's at Old Miss 228 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:14.360 matt Cross, remember that name. He was at Louisville, transferred 229 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:18.279 to actually started his career at Miami, transferred to Louisville. 230 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:20.960 Then he went to UMass to play for Frank Martin. 231 00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:24.039 Now he's a fifth or sixth year guy at SMU. 232 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:29.559 Fabio Vasilli played here for one year for Kenny Payne. 233 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.399 And the conversations about some of these guys, I mean, 234 00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.000 you know, it's another one of those flashbacks to like, Wow, 235 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.679 can you believe we did that? Can you believe we 236 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:41.159 hired Kenny Payne? And then like tried to, you know, 237 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:44.000 act like it wasn't the worst thing ever. I mean again, 238 00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:46.720 I realized pretty quickly, but like we talked ourselves into 239 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:49.919 oh yeah, Fabio Basilly, he's the guy, He's the answer 240 00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:53.559 for Kenny Payne, and clearly that didn't work out. Devin 241 00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:56.399 Ree showed up here, played for a year in Kenny's 242 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.799 first season. Shooter from Mississippi. He's now at Louisiana Tech. 243 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:06.000 Camari Lands remember that guy, and this is crazy Kamary Lands. 244 00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:10.679 He's now at Middle Tennessee State. So he played at 245 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:15.080 four different high schools in high school. He's now played 246 00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.879 three different played for three different schools. In college basketball. 247 00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.759 This guy's played for a new team for seven straight years. 248 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:25.360 I mean that's insane. He was at Arizona State last year. 249 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:29.759 Now now he's at Middle Tennessee State. Roosevelt Wheeler he's 250 00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:32.080 at East Tennessee State. When he transferred from Louisville ended 251 00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:34.679 up at Richmond or a No DCU, and then now 252 00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:39.200 he's at Etsu. Jalen Withers a sixth year senior who's 253 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:41.840 at North Carolina. And then the others are guys that 254 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:44.440 played here recently, like within the last year, so like 255 00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:48.360 Tyler Johnson's at Wake Forest, Caleb Glenn is at FAU 256 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:54.480 Jalen not Jalen, But what is his name? DePaul helped 257 00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:57.320 me out here. He's a local kid. Why can I 258 00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:00.600 not think of his name? JJ Trent, I don't know why, 259 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:04.200 why I completely blanked out like that. And then Dannalo 260 00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:07.720 Danalo Javnovich, like you may don't even know who that is. 261 00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:10.440 He played here last year and he's now at Milwaukee. 262 00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:15.519 And then Curtis Williams, he's now at Georgetown. Good shooter 263 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.440 from last year's team, Trey White is now at Illinois, 264 00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:22.240 his third school in three years. Dennis Evans remember the 265 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:25.279 seven foot ten guy I mean, he wasn't that tall, 266 00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:27.720 but he looked like it. He's now at Grand Canyon. 267 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:34.639 Sky Clark is at UCLA. And then who else was it? 268 00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:38.360 Mike James is at n C State. And then and 269 00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:41.480 then also check this out, Brandon Helly Haffield. I forgot 270 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:43.159 to even put him in this list. He's also at 271 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.039 n C State. Also, Austin helped me out with this earlier. 272 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:49.759 I forgot about Kron Davis. He is now at Louisiana Lafayette. 273 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:51.919 And then this is a name that I would be 274 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.279 shocked if if you're a doallhard little ven you remember 275 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:57.399 this name. But if you're not, and you casually follow you, 276 00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:00.360 you probably don't know who this is. Gabe was Knitzer, 277 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:03.879 So Gabe Wiz Knitzer was here for I think a 278 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:08.440 year or two and he transferred to Ohio and he 279 00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:12.399 decided not to not to use his fifth year, so 280 00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:14.279 he you know, he didn't take advantage of the COVID year. 281 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:18.159 So anyways, hope those guys have a good life and 282 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:19.919 a good career the rest of the way. But man, 283 00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:21.960 it's nice to have a fresh start here for louisvill Hoops. 284 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:23.320 All right, we got to get to our last break, 285 00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:24.960 we'll come back here on the other side, put the 286 00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:28.720 finishing touches on a game day edition of Coffee and Company, 287 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:30.840 fuel by Thornton's coming to you live from Alex R. 288 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.559 Why Lawyers, the offices of Alex R. Wright Lawyers to 289 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:35.879 Distracted Driver dot Com on Sports Talk seven ninety. What 290 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:38.440 a week it's been here with Coffee and Company. I'm 291 00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:40.000 sad that it's coming to an end now, I got 292 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:43.159 to wait till Monday to take in the experience that 293 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:47.320 is Coffee and Company. Nope, you're in luck tonight. In fact, 294 00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:49.840 at six point thirty, we'll get started with the pregame 295 00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:53.120 show kickoffs at seven thirty, and then after the game 296 00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:55.399 comes to an end late tonight, you have an open 297 00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:58.080 invitation and I encourage you all to join me on 298 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:00.879 the postgame show presented by Alex R. Lawyers to Distracted 299 00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.559 Driver dot Com. Certainly appreciate them for having us out 300 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.000 here today. But I'm I'm I'm picking up on the 301 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:10.080 vibes that Alex was was was putting out earlier in 302 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:14.120 regards to just optimistic because I and again I don't 303 00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:16.519 think I've been. I mean i've been I've been critical 304 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:18.720 and I've been uh, I mean, I don't think I've 305 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.120 been overly animated as far as like losing my mind 306 00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:27.399 over you know, I mean me being overly negative. Really 307 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:29.320 wasn't even the Kenny painnair. That was more so just 308 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:32.519 like me acknowledging what was happening. It wasn't even an opinion. 309 00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:34.240 It was just the reality of the situation. And then 310 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:36.600 I would get I would get hot whenever people would 311 00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:38.360 try to like act as if we weren't witnessing what 312 00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:40.279 we were all witnessing. So I say all that to say, like, 313 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:43.960 I'm just I'm just frustrated because I know this team 314 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:46.159 has the ability to be better than the record shows, 315 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:48.679 and I think tonight is the night where it's not 316 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:50.960 going to move the needle nationally. If Louisville beats Boston 317 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:53.519 College by a few touchdowns, because you know that's that 318 00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:55.360 wouldn't be a shock because I think most people view 319 00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:57.399 Louisville as a better team. But if they were able 320 00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:59.120 to win, and I don't mean about three touchdowns, but 321 00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:01.279 if they win and they look good doing it, they 322 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:03.919 play clean, put it all together without you know, a 323 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.480 bunch of mistakes, that could go a long way for 324 00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:08.960 these guys, this team, and it could really put them 325 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:11.080 in a good mental place as they head down the 326 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:13.559 stretch here and you know, the final four games of 327 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:17.440 the season. Crazy, how quickly the season's gone by. All right, Well, 328 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:20.840 we'll take a thirty minute break essentially for the for 329 00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:23.000 the for the for the pregame show that's getting ready 330 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:24.559 to start here at six point thirty. And then again 331 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:27.279 don't forget postgame show will start as soon as it ends, 332 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:29.000 and we will talk to you tonight. This has been 333 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.879 another edition of Coffee and Company, Phil by Thornton's Again. 334 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:34.759 Big thanks to Alex R.
