00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now, here's nit coffee, all.

3
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:28.359
<v Speaker 2>Right, let's get it start at the five o'clock hour

4
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.079
<v Speaker 2>here on a Wednesday afternoon or is it evening? It

5
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:33.119
<v Speaker 2>looks like evening. I know it's dark outside when I

6
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.960
<v Speaker 2>leave here now, which is it? Took a little took

7
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.079
<v Speaker 2>a little while to get used to that. On Monday,

8
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:40.920
<v Speaker 2>I left early so it wasn't dark yet. And then

9
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.479
<v Speaker 2>when I walked out yesterday, I was like, Okay, wow,

10
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.079
<v Speaker 2>is it ten o'clock at night? But no, that's just

11
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:48.759
<v Speaker 2>that's what happens, you know, when you get to this

12
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:49.679
<v Speaker 2>time of the year. And I know a lot of

13
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:53.479
<v Speaker 2>people hate it. I don't mind it really at all,

14
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:55.079
<v Speaker 2>to be honest with you, but I do understand, Hey,

15
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:57.280
<v Speaker 2>there's certain certain times of the year. There's really just

16
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>certain things that can impact somebody's right. Seasonal depression is

17
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:03.799
<v Speaker 2>a real thing. I don't know if it actually goes

18
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:05.959
<v Speaker 2>as far as and I'm sure it does with some

19
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:11.000
<v Speaker 2>but like, depression is a word, and depressed is used lightly,

20
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:13.640
<v Speaker 2>sometimes even in like a joking way, when it probably

21
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:18.079
<v Speaker 2>really shouldn't be. But anyways, it's five o'clock on a

22
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:22.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, can I still say afternoon? I guess I can.

23
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:23.799
<v Speaker 3>It's time of year, I mean you can, but I

24
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.000
<v Speaker 3>think this time of year it would be acceptable to

25
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.040
<v Speaker 3>say it's it's the evening, like you mentioned.

26
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like like right now it's not dark, but it

27
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:32.760
<v Speaker 2>will be and probably you know, it's kind of getting

28
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.760
<v Speaker 2>dark and it gluw me outside. It doesn't doesn't help

29
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:36.159
<v Speaker 2>by the.

30
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 3>Time we get to what is it, December twenty first,

31
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:40.040
<v Speaker 3>is the shortest day of the year. It will be

32
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 3>dark by like four thirty five o'clock.

33
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I I don't know. I feel like if it's

34
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.480
<v Speaker 2>dark outside and you say afternoon, like that's just wrong.

35
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.280
<v Speaker 2>But the time itself to say evening, it seems too early.

36
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.079
<v Speaker 2>And anytime I get myself twisted up here wondering what

37
00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:58.959
<v Speaker 2>would make the most sense, it's actually a reminder that

38
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.040
<v Speaker 2>it really doesn't matter, becase, because wherever you're listening, it

39
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:03.719
<v Speaker 2>probably doesn't matter to you because you probably know what

40
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>the conditions are outside. If you're a podcast listener, you

41
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.080
<v Speaker 2>could be listening to this on Saturday morning as we

42
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:12.039
<v Speaker 2>speak live right now on a Wednesday at five o'clock.

43
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.800
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, it's our third hour. We got one more

44
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.560
<v Speaker 2>to go. We're gonna finish strong. Here again, Coffee and

45
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Company feel by Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven to

46
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 2>ninety the company man, mister John all on alongside today.

47
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 2>My name is Nick Coffee. I hope you knew that.

48
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:26.879
<v Speaker 2>If not, now you do. And I've got something that

49
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.159
<v Speaker 2>you need to know that. I wouldn't be shocked if

50
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 2>you were not aware of this. The sex that you

51
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.240
<v Speaker 2>probably love and enjoy. I mean, sex is pretty universally loved, right.

52
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:40.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure there's some that like it more than others,

53
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>but overall, I'd say since the beginning of time, sex

54
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.120
<v Speaker 2>is pretty popular. It's something people like doing. What if

55
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.879
<v Speaker 2>I told you it could be even better? It can.

56
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.719
<v Speaker 2>That's where blue Chew comes in. Blue Choo is a

57
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.400
<v Speaker 2>unique online service that delivers the same active ingredients as

58
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:59.439
<v Speaker 2>viagra and sialis, but in chewable tablets and add a

59
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:02.400
<v Speaker 2>fraction of the cost. I mean, they're gonna be a

60
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:04.520
<v Speaker 2>lot cheaper. It's gonna it's gonna it's gonna get the

61
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.400
<v Speaker 2>job done for you. And it's not just for people

62
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 2>who need it, right, It's not like, hey, if I

63
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:11.800
<v Speaker 2>don't have Bluetooth, then there's no way I would be

64
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:15.479
<v Speaker 2>able to to, you know, do the deed. But what

65
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Bluechoo can do is it's performance enhancing. It makes it

66
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.240
<v Speaker 2>even better. Again, we're taking something that is already pretty

67
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.159
<v Speaker 2>great or really great and in making it even better.

68
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:26.199
<v Speaker 2>So again, it's an online prescription, so you don't have

69
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:28.919
<v Speaker 2>to go to the doctor. There's no awkward conversations, no

70
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.039
<v Speaker 2>waiting in line at the pharmacy. It ships directly to

71
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.960
<v Speaker 2>your door in a discrete package. And again, if you're

72
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>somebody that doesn't like swallowing pills, no issue. I mean,

73
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:40.479
<v Speaker 2>this is a chewable tablet and they are actually delicious.

74
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.199
<v Speaker 2>They're made right here in the USA, and they they've

75
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.159
<v Speaker 2>made a real impact here over the last few years,

76
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:48.840
<v Speaker 2>which is why they're getting more and more popular. Right,

77
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.240
<v Speaker 2>It's it's not just something that people are thinking that

78
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:53.439
<v Speaker 2>they need in order to to, you know, get the

79
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.120
<v Speaker 2>job done. It's it's more so, hey, let's let's have

80
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.560
<v Speaker 2>a better experience. In fact, I'm sure there are many

81
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.800
<v Speaker 2>women out there that are reminded their partner, hey, make

82
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.759
<v Speaker 2>sure you know you keep a stash or the blue

83
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Choo we need them, so if you haven't tried them,

93
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.560
<v Speaker 2>spent much time at all talking about the election results,

94
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.319
<v Speaker 2>just because you know, that's not really what this is.

95
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.040
<v Speaker 2>But I'll share with you guys what I shared at

96
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.879
<v Speaker 2>the beginning of the show. I was well aware that

97
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 2>I had no clue, I mean, I had no clue,

98
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:43.399
<v Speaker 2>no feel for how it was going to play out,

99
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:45.759
<v Speaker 2>and I knew that regardless of what happens, I can't

100
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 2>control it. So I was more so following along more

101
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.519
<v Speaker 2>than I ever have under any other presidential election, just

102
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.480
<v Speaker 2>because I was interested. It was fascinating for me to

103
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.120
<v Speaker 2>just sit back and observe those that were very very

104
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.360
<v Speaker 2>strong on one side or the other, and each side

105
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I feel like had a lot of confidence, and clearly

106
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:08.639
<v Speaker 2>one was very much correct and the other was very

107
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:12.560
<v Speaker 2>much wrong. And to kind of see it play out

108
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:16.120
<v Speaker 2>late in the evening and following along on social media,

109
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.480
<v Speaker 2>I was going back and forth between both Fox and

110
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:22.160
<v Speaker 2>CNN just to kind of I to me, it was entertaining,

111
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 2>to be honest with you. I mean, it's an important thing,

112
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:25.959
<v Speaker 2>right who the president is, but I was just it

113
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.240
<v Speaker 2>was a fascinating thing for me to see that going

114
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.439
<v Speaker 2>into it. And this is probably a small percentage of

115
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:33.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, the amount of people who actually voted, but

116
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:37.839
<v Speaker 2>those that are that are really loud about their beliefs

117
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.199
<v Speaker 2>and opinions, those that you know, kind of make it

118
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.920
<v Speaker 2>their whole personality at times, regardless if it was on

119
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:45.600
<v Speaker 2>one side or the other. Those were the people that

120
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:50.079
<v Speaker 2>I felt like were very confident. They didn't think there

121
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:52.600
<v Speaker 2>was a scenario that their side wouldn't win. And again,

122
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:55.920
<v Speaker 2>obviously they were wrong. If you were somebody that thought

123
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.519
<v Speaker 2>it would be Kamala Harris and I've heard a lot

124
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:03.120
<v Speaker 2>of different reactions today that I feel like really kind

125
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:07.560
<v Speaker 2>of hit home as to why it happened, and it's

126
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:12.279
<v Speaker 2>probably because we need the reminder that those that are

127
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:16.680
<v Speaker 2>the loudest, those that are using any platform, they can Facebook, Twitter,

128
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:21.199
<v Speaker 2>whatever they matter. Right, that's a person, that's somebody who

129
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.759
<v Speaker 2>can vote. But it's just one person. Now again, there's

130
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.319
<v Speaker 2>way more than just one. But I'm saying the vast

131
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:32.399
<v Speaker 2>majority is not vocal. You don't know in any given moment,

132
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:36.319
<v Speaker 2>like you can't check the pulse of the United States

133
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:39.439
<v Speaker 2>of America and get a good feel on which way

134
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.160
<v Speaker 2>it truly is going to play out. And I think

135
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:47.160
<v Speaker 2>the quiet folks, that those who aren't real you know, opinionated,

136
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.720
<v Speaker 2>or at least you don't hear. I mean, their vote

137
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:53.079
<v Speaker 2>showed sort of where they stand. And I was really

138
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:58.879
<v Speaker 2>surprised to see that the whole campaign from the Democratic side,

139
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.839
<v Speaker 2>at least from what I can could gather. I shouldn't

140
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.079
<v Speaker 2>say the whole campaign, but a real big emphasis. And

141
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I can't even say they're wrong for doing it, but

142
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:07.920
<v Speaker 2>I think there should have been a little more substance

143
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:09.680
<v Speaker 2>to their plan and all that kind of stuff. And

144
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.079
<v Speaker 2>how look, Americans aren't happy with where the country is.

145
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.439
<v Speaker 2>And when you're asked, would you do anything differently? And

146
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:16.680
<v Speaker 2>you say not at all, and then you don't have

147
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:20.600
<v Speaker 2>any real you can't really give a pitch as to

148
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:22.839
<v Speaker 2>how things are going to get better. Like that puts

149
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:24.680
<v Speaker 2>it in the hands of people who are voting based

150
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.720
<v Speaker 2>off of how they are. Like people care about themselves,

151
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.879
<v Speaker 2>not because they're selfish, but because they're looking out for

152
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.399
<v Speaker 2>their own livelihood. They want to they want to vote

153
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.639
<v Speaker 2>somebody in who is going to be best for them.

154
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.199
<v Speaker 2>You know, that's what it's about for a lot of people.

155
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:45.839
<v Speaker 2>But I think the biggest I guess sales pitch from

156
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:49.319
<v Speaker 2>the left side of this was, well, how could you

157
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:51.279
<v Speaker 2>vote for this guy? He's a real ahole. Look at him,

158
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, listen to him, and you know, Trump is

159
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:58.600
<v Speaker 2>clearly a guy who's not nearly as presidential as anybody

160
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:00.959
<v Speaker 2>else that's been in the position. And he would even

161
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:02.839
<v Speaker 2>tell you that that's not an insult, he's just he's

162
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:04.920
<v Speaker 2>different than most of the people who've been in that position.

163
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:08.959
<v Speaker 2>But you know, that wasn't going to be enough for

164
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:12.040
<v Speaker 2>people to say, Okay, all right, oh this guy's terrible. Okay,

165
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:15.079
<v Speaker 2>Like you can't feel like here's what I'm sure some

166
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.839
<v Speaker 2>people have issued with, but it's just the reality a

167
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.079
<v Speaker 2>lot of people don't care about his morals because they

168
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.879
<v Speaker 2>know they're not perfect either, right. They know that there's

169
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:25.680
<v Speaker 2>probably others that have not had things play out the

170
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:28.759
<v Speaker 2>way that Trump has, and I'm sure there are people

171
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:32.240
<v Speaker 2>that have have had nowhere near the baggage that he's

172
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:35.320
<v Speaker 2>had over the years. But my point is, like, I

173
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.759
<v Speaker 2>think what they weaponized against Trump, which is a real

174
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:39.799
<v Speaker 2>issue that clearly a lot of people had a problem with,

175
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.840
<v Speaker 2>and maybe that's why they'd never vote for him, right,

176
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:46.120
<v Speaker 2>But also others aren't as caught up in that. I mean,

177
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.799
<v Speaker 2>they're caught up in the economy and how their life

178
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:54.159
<v Speaker 2>can be potentially better off because this person that's leading

179
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.600
<v Speaker 2>the country is going to do things that impacts them positively.

180
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.720
<v Speaker 2>So I I'm sure there are people that are really

181
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.000
<v Speaker 2>happy today taking victory lapse. Trust me, I know there's

182
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:08.679
<v Speaker 2>many people doing that. I'm sure there are some that

183
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:11.559
<v Speaker 2>are stunned and still can't believe it and don't want

184
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:15.559
<v Speaker 2>to accept it. But it's over. And who am I

185
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:17.399
<v Speaker 2>to give anybody any advice on how to deal with

186
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:20.840
<v Speaker 2>the results of an election, because I'm not qualified or

187
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:23.559
<v Speaker 2>fit to do it. But this is just general advice

188
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.759
<v Speaker 2>that I've been given that I was given long long

189
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:30.720
<v Speaker 2>ago that I still to this day try to or

190
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:34.320
<v Speaker 2>I need to remind myself of And sometimes it's easier

191
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:37.519
<v Speaker 2>said than done. But if you have no control over it,

192
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:43.360
<v Speaker 2>why let it consume any of your energy, any of

193
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:47.080
<v Speaker 2>your time. Like if you have no control again, sometimes

194
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:48.879
<v Speaker 2>it's not easy to just you know, accept it and

195
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:51.840
<v Speaker 2>move on. But like, the better ability you have to

196
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:54.159
<v Speaker 2>do that, the better your life will be as far

197
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:57.559
<v Speaker 2>as happiness, I think, because you won't spend a bunch

198
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:01.039
<v Speaker 2>of time wasted just you know, stressing out and worrying

199
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:03.320
<v Speaker 2>about things that you cannot get like that there's no

200
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:06.080
<v Speaker 2>possibility you can control it. Again, that's easier said than

201
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:08.159
<v Speaker 2>done with certain things. But like as much as we

202
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:10.759
<v Speaker 2>know that the presidential election is a big deal and

203
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:14.240
<v Speaker 2>who is the president is important, this point, it is

204
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:16.039
<v Speaker 2>what it is like, you can't change it.

205
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:19.039
<v Speaker 3>So you know what's great now about this time of year, Nick,

206
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.320
<v Speaker 3>Now that we've fully moved on, or at least we

207
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:23.600
<v Speaker 3>have to this point from the election. Whether you like

208
00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:26.879
<v Speaker 3>it what happened or not, it's basketball season and people

209
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:29.879
<v Speaker 3>around here Louisville and Kentucky can get fully engrossed in that,

210
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:31.960
<v Speaker 3>and if you're upset about the election, don't even worry

211
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:33.720
<v Speaker 3>about it anymore. It's basketball season.

212
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:36.840
<v Speaker 2>Well said. And it's not just an obvious distraction because

213
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:38.639
<v Speaker 2>we love hoops around here, but it's a new era

214
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:42.440
<v Speaker 2>for both sides. Yea, and that adds even more excitement,

215
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:46.639
<v Speaker 2>I think so, well said John. All Right, let's get

216
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:48.840
<v Speaker 2>to the college football playoff rankings. We discussed this earlier

217
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.279
<v Speaker 2>in the show, and also we had a good chat

218
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.679
<v Speaker 2>with Zach Barnetta FootballScoop dot Com, and I didn't have

219
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:59.320
<v Speaker 2>any real big complaint with the way like the top

220
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:01.799
<v Speaker 2>twelve was put together. I think there's one team that

221
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.159
<v Speaker 2>I think has the biggest gripe, and that's BYU. But

222
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:08.519
<v Speaker 2>also they're in a position to where, you know, just

223
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.879
<v Speaker 2>like Indiana, they keep winning, they're in total control, right

224
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.080
<v Speaker 2>they haven't. They haven't slipped up yet. I think the

225
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:20.240
<v Speaker 2>one team that I don't quite think that they belong

226
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:26.799
<v Speaker 2>where they belong, Penn State is probably tied with I

227
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:29.600
<v Speaker 2>don't know BYU. I'm saying not BYU, but Boise Is

228
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Boise I feel like is getting a and I will

229
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:35.799
<v Speaker 2>say this will I will stand corrected. I mentioned that

230
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:38.679
<v Speaker 2>the best thing on the resume for Boise is their

231
00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:42.600
<v Speaker 2>loss to Oregon, which I still think is true because yes,

232
00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:45.320
<v Speaker 2>they beat Washington State, who's ranked twenty first. But I

233
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:49.120
<v Speaker 2>feel like if their best win was Washington State and

234
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:52.200
<v Speaker 2>their loss wasn't to Oregon it was to Penn State,

235
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.360
<v Speaker 2>they wouldn't be sitting at number twelve. Like they're getting

236
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.639
<v Speaker 2>a benefit from the only loss they have being against

237
00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:58.559
<v Speaker 2>a team that the committee says is the best team

238
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:02.240
<v Speaker 2>in the country. So there were some other teams that

239
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:04.679
<v Speaker 2>I didn't understand the ranking because it just but but

240
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.559
<v Speaker 2>they're teams that are outside like the top fifteen to

241
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:09.440
<v Speaker 2>where it really doesn't matter. Like I'm happy they're there

242
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 2>because it makes Louisill look good, But there's really no

243
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:14.360
<v Speaker 2>justification for Clemson being ranked at all. Clemson's played two

244
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:18.320
<v Speaker 2>teams that are like not I mean, two teams that

245
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.440
<v Speaker 2>have a pulse essentially, and they've lost to both of

246
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:22.919
<v Speaker 2>them and it really wasn't close. The other wins they

247
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:25.120
<v Speaker 2>have are against teams that, you know, I don't think

248
00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:30.240
<v Speaker 2>anybody's impressed with. I think their best win is Virginia,

249
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:34.360
<v Speaker 2>which again I think that says a lot Missouri. I

250
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:36.480
<v Speaker 2>mean again, they're twenty four, so I can't say that

251
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:39.279
<v Speaker 2>it's like something we got to be worried about, but

252
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Missouri getting there is because they're in the SEC. I

253
00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:44.559
<v Speaker 2>mean it has to be right, Like Missouri is a

254
00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:46.960
<v Speaker 2>two loss team in the SEC, and I feel like

255
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:50.320
<v Speaker 2>whoever's on the committee would be in fear for being

256
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:53.440
<v Speaker 2>arrested after they left their meeting because they didn't rank

257
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:55.519
<v Speaker 2>a two loss SEC team in the top twenty five.

258
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:59.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's the only reason Missouri against power four schools.

259
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:02.399
<v Speaker 2>They got a six point win over Boston College, who

260
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:07.600
<v Speaker 2>stinks they needed OT to beat Vanderbilt, who's not ranked?

261
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:10.759
<v Speaker 2>Are they ranked at Wait a second, that I missed that.

262
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.679
<v Speaker 2>Who'd you say? Bandy's not ranked right now? Vandi's not ranked.

263
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:15.519
<v Speaker 2>They shouldn't be, but I was just making sure I didn't.

264
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:17.960
<v Speaker 2>I was just looking at the graphic of the of

265
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:19.759
<v Speaker 2>the top twenty five and I thought I saw their logo.

266
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:23.080
<v Speaker 2>So again, they have a six point went over Boston College,

267
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:25.759
<v Speaker 2>they beat Vandy and OT. They lost by thirty one

268
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:30.039
<v Speaker 2>points to A and M, and they needed a comeback

269
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:32.320
<v Speaker 2>to beat a bad Auburn team who just won their

270
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:35.320
<v Speaker 2>first SEC game A couple of weeks ago and they

271
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:38.200
<v Speaker 2>got shut out, lost thirty four to nothing to Alabama.

272
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:41.240
<v Speaker 2>You could make a case Missouri doesn't belong in the

273
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:44.639
<v Speaker 2>top fifty, let alone the top twenty four. Like again,

274
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:47.879
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't matter because it's twenty four, not fourteen or

275
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:51.120
<v Speaker 2>you know higher, but that you can't make any sense

276
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:56.559
<v Speaker 2>of that at all. I mean, it's one thing to say, well, yeah,

277
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:00.759
<v Speaker 2>like Louisville on Like, Louisville has three losses, good teams,

278
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:03.000
<v Speaker 2>which is why Actually, let me back at it. If

279
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Louisville wasn't competitive and only lost each of those three

280
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.360
<v Speaker 2>games to Notre Dame, SMU and Miami by one score,

281
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:11.320
<v Speaker 2>they're not in the They're not they're not even considered.

282
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:14.080
<v Speaker 2>But you know, the resume if you really look at it, Yeah,

283
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.919
<v Speaker 2>there's three losses, but their quality loss is not only

284
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:19.120
<v Speaker 2>because of who they were against, but how you played.

285
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:23.279
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna give Missouri credit for losing by thirty plus

286
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:26.320
<v Speaker 2>points to A and M and Alabama, Like makes no

287
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:30.759
<v Speaker 2>sense at all. Another thing that stood out to me

288
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:35.360
<v Speaker 2>is Boise. You know again, I think they're getting love

289
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:40.240
<v Speaker 2>from the from from and a reason I'm bringing up

290
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:42.519
<v Speaker 2>bois again, it's because it's actually like there's there was

291
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:45.519
<v Speaker 2>some people claiming that Boise should be getting, you know,

292
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:48.799
<v Speaker 2>more love than they are. I saw some people saying

293
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:51.200
<v Speaker 2>that I'm getting a Notre Dame. Well, this is I'm

294
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:53.159
<v Speaker 2>taking I'm re routing here to get back to Notre

295
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Dame because Notre Dame is an interesting team at number

296
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:59.039
<v Speaker 2>ten because they have a glaringly bad loss. In fact,

297
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:01.639
<v Speaker 2>couldn't you the case that there's nobody in the top

298
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:03.799
<v Speaker 2>twenty five that has a loss as bad as Notre Dame.

299
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:07.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I can't imagine there would be, because I

300
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.279
<v Speaker 2>don't even know of any. Like again, there's some teams

301
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:13.440
<v Speaker 2>with losses that are like head scratchers, like Bama losing

302
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:15.559
<v Speaker 2>to Vandy is still a head scratcher. But Notre Dame

303
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:17.200
<v Speaker 2>has the worst loss. But you know what else they have.

304
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:22.600
<v Speaker 2>They have two wins against ranked teams. In fact, let's

305
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:27.000
<v Speaker 2>see do they have because they beat Louisville, who's twenty second.

306
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:30.000
<v Speaker 2>They beat A and M who's number fourteen. So like,

307
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:36.440
<v Speaker 2>if you're like, that's what it was Boise was. I

308
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:38.679
<v Speaker 2>saw somebody making the case that Boise should be ahead

309
00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:41.960
<v Speaker 2>of Notre Dame because the loss was better, which is

310
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:45.919
<v Speaker 2>true Notre Dame's one losses to Northern Illinois Boise's one

311
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.559
<v Speaker 2>losses to number one Oregan, So then you just have

312
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:53.120
<v Speaker 2>to decide, Okay, quality of loss credit to Boise. But

313
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:56.639
<v Speaker 2>Boise's best win is Washington State, whereas Notre Dame has

314
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:01.320
<v Speaker 2>two wins better than that. So that really is just

315
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:07.240
<v Speaker 2>that's honestly a reminder that when it comes to the like,

316
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:09.639
<v Speaker 2>there's no scenario they do this where everybody says, Okay,

317
00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:12.240
<v Speaker 2>they got each each, they got all twenty five spots, right,

318
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:14.679
<v Speaker 2>That's just not possible. So as much as I give

319
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:16.039
<v Speaker 2>them crap and I think they deserve it for some

320
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:18.240
<v Speaker 2>of the things that they some of some of the

321
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:20.679
<v Speaker 2>decisions they make, I mean, they're not going to be perfect.

322
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:23.720
<v Speaker 2>A SIMU is also a team that I feel like

323
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:26.039
<v Speaker 2>you could you could argue that they deserve to be

324
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.200
<v Speaker 2>higher than they are. I mean, they're sitting right outside,

325
00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:34.200
<v Speaker 2>which you know, of of the top twelve, they're at thirteen.

326
00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Their one loss came against a BYU team who nobody's beat,

327
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:40.120
<v Speaker 2>and they lost to them in a very close game.

328
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:43.519
<v Speaker 2>And they have wins against pet who they killed, who's

329
00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:49.759
<v Speaker 2>ranked eighteenth. They beat Louisville at Louisville, and I feel like,

330
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:53.519
<v Speaker 2>do they have They haven't played Clemon, they don't play Clemson.

331
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:58.159
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, I learned last night. I guess more than anything,

332
00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:00.639
<v Speaker 2>I was reminded that I really am in Like I think,

333
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:03.399
<v Speaker 2>like the weekly check ins at the end of the

334
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:05.519
<v Speaker 2>day don't matter because it's all going to play itself out.

335
00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:08.160
<v Speaker 2>You're going to get the final rankings when it actually matters.

336
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:12.160
<v Speaker 2>But I actually enjoy the weekly updates and the resume

337
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:14.279
<v Speaker 2>comparisons that go on. It reminds me a lot of

338
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.799
<v Speaker 2>bracketology in college basketball. So on the Louisville side, they

339
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:21.039
<v Speaker 2>came in at number twenty two, again, the only three

340
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:25.160
<v Speaker 2>loss team in the top twenty five. And I mentioned

341
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:26.519
<v Speaker 2>this throughout the show. I'll mentioned it once more for

342
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:28.200
<v Speaker 2>those just now joining us in the five o'clock hour.

343
00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Louisville had three losses, way earlier than anybody would have expected.

344
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Some didn't expect them to have three losses all year,

345
00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:36.759
<v Speaker 2>but now we know, Hey, those were losses that you

346
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:39.200
<v Speaker 2>still hate, but it's to good teams and you were

347
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:42.240
<v Speaker 2>competitive and you're getting you've been given credit for that.

348
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:46.279
<v Speaker 2>So the win against Boston College I think sparked this

349
00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:48.839
<v Speaker 2>team to go to Clemson beat them for the first

350
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:53.119
<v Speaker 2>time ever. And now if they went out, easier said

351
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:55.279
<v Speaker 2>than done. But if they went out and we now

352
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:57.000
<v Speaker 2>know they can, like it's not I mean, in fact,

353
00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:58.640
<v Speaker 2>every game the rest of the way, you should say

354
00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:00.960
<v Speaker 2>the expectation is to win. You go at Stanford, who's

355
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:02.799
<v Speaker 2>not good. You play pitt at home, and then you

356
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:05.839
<v Speaker 2>play Kentucky, who, Yeah, they've got a great streak going

357
00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:08.400
<v Speaker 2>against you, but they're terrible right now. Not saying they're

358
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:10.000
<v Speaker 2>going to go undefeated the rest of the way, but

359
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:13.079
<v Speaker 2>they certainly should at least that's how I feel right now.

360
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:16.119
<v Speaker 2>So if you end up winning out, you're nine and three,

361
00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:19.039
<v Speaker 2>and that would mean that you're staying in the top

362
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:21.559
<v Speaker 2>twenty five rankings of the playoff, the top twenty five

363
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.039
<v Speaker 2>of the playoff rankings all year. So you win a

364
00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:25.839
<v Speaker 2>bowl game, you get to ten and three to finish

365
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:28.039
<v Speaker 2>the year, you will be you'll have back to back

366
00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:31.920
<v Speaker 2>double digit win seasons for the second time in program history,

367
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:35.000
<v Speaker 2>and you will be able to say that every time

368
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:39.039
<v Speaker 2>there's been an active college football Playoff rankings out there,

369
00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:41.599
<v Speaker 2>you've been ranked under bram Like that would be you'd

370
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:43.839
<v Speaker 2>be able to say two years in, man, this thing's

371
00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:47.920
<v Speaker 2>going really well. You've got momentum, and that's where you

372
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:54.200
<v Speaker 2>that's what you want, right, So it really it's you know,

373
00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:55.839
<v Speaker 2>if they crap the bed when they come off the

374
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.039
<v Speaker 2>bio week, that'll be a real punch to the gut.

375
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:03.039
<v Speaker 2>But there's frustrating seeing them lose out on those big

376
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:05.400
<v Speaker 2>opportunities earlier this year. But all along, I think what

377
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:07.759
<v Speaker 2>made it so frustrating is actually felt like they were

378
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:10.920
<v Speaker 2>good and that, you know, despite the losses. You got

379
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:12.200
<v Speaker 2>to look in the mirror. You lost the game, but

380
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:14.039
<v Speaker 2>like I still felt like they should you know, they

381
00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:16.440
<v Speaker 2>should be a lot better. And now they're playing better,

382
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:19.319
<v Speaker 2>and hey, it's better to I think it's much better

383
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.079
<v Speaker 2>to finish strong than the other way around. We learned

384
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:25.400
<v Speaker 2>that the opposite way last year, right, I mean, great

385
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:28.119
<v Speaker 2>start and then really a terrible finish if you think

386
00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:30.400
<v Speaker 2>about it. All right, quick break, we'll come back on

387
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:32.039
<v Speaker 2>the other side. Keep this thing rolling along. We'll talk

388
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:34.440
<v Speaker 2>some Louis of basketball on the other side. Because if

389
00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:36.160
<v Speaker 2>you were not with us in the four o'clock hour,

390
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:37.720
<v Speaker 2>I may have put my foot in my mouth, but

391
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:39.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't care. If it's being honest with you, I

392
00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:41.680
<v Speaker 2>think a louisvill beats Tennessee because if you just look

393
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:45.160
<v Speaker 2>at each team from a personnel standpoint, I mean, I

394
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:47.000
<v Speaker 2>know they're ranked number twelve in the country, but it's

395
00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.920
<v Speaker 2>because of previous seasons and Rick Barnes. Louisville I think

396
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:53.279
<v Speaker 2>has a better roster, and I think objectively, if you

397
00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:55.359
<v Speaker 2>really considered it, I think a lot of people would agree.

398
00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:57.440
<v Speaker 2>I quick break, don't go anywhere, keep it locked right

399
00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:02.480
<v Speaker 2>here on Sports Talk seven ninety. That's right, Coffee and

400
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:06.799
<v Speaker 2>Company rolling along here on a Well. It was gloomy

401
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:10.559
<v Speaker 2>outside earlier, maybe dark outside now it's five thirty. But man,

402
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:14.079
<v Speaker 2>it's been weird how the last few days it's looked

403
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.160
<v Speaker 2>like fall, but it's it's actually been hot.

404
00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:19.599
<v Speaker 3>Like I think this is one of the warmest early Novembers.

405
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:20.880
<v Speaker 2>We've ever had. Yeah, I think we'll. I think we're

406
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:23.599
<v Speaker 2>supposed to get some cooler temperatures in the coming days,

407
00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:25.960
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I just honestly, I just want some

408
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:29.319
<v Speaker 2>consistency because I committed to pants. All Right, you got

409
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:31.319
<v Speaker 2>cold enough at one point I committed to pants, put

410
00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:35.079
<v Speaker 2>the shorts up. And now I'm wearing pants and on

411
00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:36.640
<v Speaker 2>certain days I'm thinking, you know what, I should have

412
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:37.920
<v Speaker 2>put shorts on. It's warm outside.

413
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:39.519
<v Speaker 3>I mean I thought you took the pants off during

414
00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:40.200
<v Speaker 3>the Clemson game.

415
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:42.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, uh, yeah, I don't wear I don't wear anything

416
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:45.559
<v Speaker 2>during games, nothing at all, And I don't. And you

417
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:47.480
<v Speaker 2>know there's reason I don't turn the webcam on during

418
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:49.440
<v Speaker 2>the postgame show either. I don't want sense. I don't

419
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:51.440
<v Speaker 2>want to traumatize you, but I do, yeah, butt naked,

420
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:54.720
<v Speaker 2>especially after a win like Clemson. I mean, I mean,

421
00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:57.759
<v Speaker 2>it is the sex dungeon down there, that's right, that's right.

422
00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:01.079
<v Speaker 2>So people don't assume I have a real sex done,

423
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:03.680
<v Speaker 2>which if I did, I wouldn't tell you anyway. But

424
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:07.480
<v Speaker 2>I was putting up panels on the wall in my

425
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:11.160
<v Speaker 2>home studio in the basement, and it was like I

426
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:12.880
<v Speaker 2>ended up painting them and they look a lot better now.

427
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:16.519
<v Speaker 2>But it's like a wet black like just a bunch

428
00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:19.200
<v Speaker 2>of tiles on the wall, and it was dark, there

429
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:20.880
<v Speaker 2>was no light, and I popped on the webcam one

430
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:23.079
<v Speaker 2>time and John was like, it looks like a sex dungeon.

431
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:25.319
<v Speaker 2>And that's what we've always referred to it as. So

432
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:28.400
<v Speaker 2>just so you know though, because I'm sure you're curious. No,

433
00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:30.759
<v Speaker 2>no sex goes on down there's strictly business when it

434
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:35.799
<v Speaker 2>comes to the studios with pleasure, exactly, exactly, all right.

435
00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:41.160
<v Speaker 2>So I've been monitoring my phone here just to see

436
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:43.559
<v Speaker 2>if I get a and it's not like I'm expecting

437
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:45.480
<v Speaker 2>a call or I'm going to be distracted, but I

438
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.720
<v Speaker 2>guess I am kind of distracted. So I'm sure I've

439
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:50.799
<v Speaker 2>talked about it once before on the show, but if

440
00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:52.880
<v Speaker 2>you follow me on social media, you've probably seen it

441
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.960
<v Speaker 2>once or twice. My daughter has a baby doll that

442
00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:00.000
<v Speaker 2>is the most realistic doll I've ever seen in my life,

443
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:03.240
<v Speaker 2>more realistic than any Mann Cain I've ever seen, more

444
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:06.000
<v Speaker 2>realistic than like a wax figure. I mean, it's insane

445
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:09.079
<v Speaker 2>how this looks like. I mean, you've got to touch

446
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:12.799
<v Speaker 2>it to feel like you know for sure it's not real,

447
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Like that's how real it looks. And it's been kind

448
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:18.079
<v Speaker 2>of funny at times because you know, like we leave

449
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:19.519
<v Speaker 2>it on the beach when we go out in the water,

450
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:21.880
<v Speaker 2>and it's just a baby that looks real to people

451
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:24.960
<v Speaker 2>laying face down in the sand, and you know, every

452
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.400
<v Speaker 2>now and then we got to run up and tell people, hey, like,

453
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:30.640
<v Speaker 2>it's not real, it's fake. I'll be carrying it in

454
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:32.799
<v Speaker 2>because she left it in the car and she's inside

455
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:35.160
<v Speaker 2>and she wants it, and I'll go out and get it.

456
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:37.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's not real, so I'm not really thinking,

457
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:39.119
<v Speaker 2>but I'll just pick it up and hold it by

458
00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:41.720
<v Speaker 2>its head, and people from afar like, oh my god,

459
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:45.640
<v Speaker 2>what's this guy lunatic doing with a baby, And then

460
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:46.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, I show him like I can't tell you

461
00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:49.960
<v Speaker 2>it like clockwork. If I have this thing in a

462
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:52.839
<v Speaker 2>stroller because I'm helping my daughter with it or I'm

463
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:56.079
<v Speaker 2>holding it, or she's holding it, people will stare because

464
00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:58.799
<v Speaker 2>again she's I mean, she's especially needs child who doesn't

465
00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:00.480
<v Speaker 2>have a whole lot of I mean, she doesn't hold

466
00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:02.839
<v Speaker 2>a lot of infants like her dolls. So people, you know,

467
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:04.880
<v Speaker 2>probably think it's real and they look, oh god, this girl,

468
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:07.759
<v Speaker 2>this little girl's about to drop this baby. So it's

469
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:10.359
<v Speaker 2>not annoying, but it's kind of lost. It's it's kind

470
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:13.200
<v Speaker 2>of lost. Its h you know, I'm now no longer surprised.

471
00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:14.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's funny when people are shocked. But

472
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:17.720
<v Speaker 2>we may have something that you know, I'll just tell

473
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:19.519
<v Speaker 2>you what's happened. And so my daughter left it over

474
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:22.079
<v Speaker 2>the weekend at a family member's house. She went up

475
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:28.160
<v Speaker 2>to see her her step grandparents, and she left it there. Well,

476
00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:30.240
<v Speaker 2>she hasn't even noticed that she doesn't have it yet,

477
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:31.000
<v Speaker 2>which is good for us.

478
00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:32.480
<v Speaker 1>But my.

479
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:37.839
<v Speaker 2>Wife's I guess my in laws step in laws. They're

480
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:40.279
<v Speaker 2>supposed to bring it and drop it off at my

481
00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:44.279
<v Speaker 2>wife's work while she's working, so we have it and

482
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:47.160
<v Speaker 2>they said they dropped it off, but it wasn't there,

483
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:52.440
<v Speaker 2>so we're worried that her grandpa put it in the

484
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.440
<v Speaker 2>wrong car. And imagine getting in your vehicle and seeing

485
00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:59.960
<v Speaker 2>a baby that you don't mean it first glanced. Your

486
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:02.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna think it's real that somebody leave their baby in

487
00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:04.960
<v Speaker 2>my car. It's not making any sound. It may be

488
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:07.839
<v Speaker 2>face down because you know it's a doll. But like,

489
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:10.440
<v Speaker 2>we don't know where he might have left it. And

490
00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:12.920
<v Speaker 2>it's probably been figured out since then. But right before

491
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:14.200
<v Speaker 2>the show today, I was talking to my wife and

492
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:15.960
<v Speaker 2>she was explaining that it was dropped off, but she

493
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:18.839
<v Speaker 2>can't she can't find it. And I'm sitting here thinking like, oh,

494
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:20.599
<v Speaker 2>there's gonna be somebody that works with you that's gonna

495
00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:22.640
<v Speaker 2>walk out to their car and they're gonna call nine

496
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:25.559
<v Speaker 2>on one. They're going to lose their mind. And they

497
00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:27.599
<v Speaker 2>may not if they may be so scared they they

498
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:30.440
<v Speaker 2>don't get close enough or touch it to see if

499
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:33.240
<v Speaker 2>it's real. But it sounds like the crisis is. But

500
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:35.799
<v Speaker 2>imagine that, Like you can't make that up. Like imagine

501
00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:39.440
<v Speaker 2>going out to your car and just same routine, unlocking it,

502
00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:41.480
<v Speaker 2>getting in and then looking to the right in the

503
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:44.559
<v Speaker 2>driver or in the passenger side seat, or looking behind

504
00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:47.359
<v Speaker 2>you and realizing, oh my god, there's a baby and

505
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:49.039
<v Speaker 2>it's scared the crap out of you. I'd say most

506
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:51.440
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't realize it's not real, and then they would wonder

507
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:53.720
<v Speaker 2>who's playing a joke? I mean, why is a baby doll,

508
00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:55.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, in the back of my car. But it

509
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:57.200
<v Speaker 2>sounds like they got it figure it out. But I

510
00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:00.440
<v Speaker 2>was worried that, like my wife was gonna up hitting

511
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:02.680
<v Speaker 2>me up later this afternoon, like, hey, none one one

512
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:06.039
<v Speaker 2>came to work, real big crisis. It was all over

513
00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:09.559
<v Speaker 2>the doll. But like somebody said this to me, and

514
00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:11.039
<v Speaker 2>it's always stuck with me because I think they're right.

515
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:12.759
<v Speaker 2>And I thought today was gonna be the day that

516
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:15.319
<v Speaker 2>thing is so real and she takes it everywhere she goes.

517
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.240
<v Speaker 2>There's gonna be some level of like incident to where

518
00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:23.720
<v Speaker 2>people take action before realizing it's not real, and like

519
00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:25.480
<v Speaker 2>like if we leave it in the car, which sometimes

520
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:27.640
<v Speaker 2>we do, right, somebody's gonna break our window thinking that

521
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:30.240
<v Speaker 2>there's a real like baby left in a vehicle, which

522
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:33.279
<v Speaker 2>is obviously a big no nose. So anyways, and for

523
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:36.480
<v Speaker 2>those wondering where she got it, because we've had people

524
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:38.759
<v Speaker 2>ask it's just an Amazon purchase. It wasn't that expensive.

525
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:42.160
<v Speaker 2>And I've seen, you know, I have a she's an

526
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:44.200
<v Speaker 2>eight year old, so she's had many dolls over the years.

527
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:48.000
<v Speaker 2>This one it's not special in regards to like price,

528
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:51.680
<v Speaker 2>but it looks so real compared to any other doll

529
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:55.240
<v Speaker 2>I've ever seen. It's it's amazing. And I've got pictures

530
00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:59.000
<v Speaker 2>of it on my Twitter, on Facebook and whatnot. And

531
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:01.240
<v Speaker 2>if you're if you don't believe me that it looks

532
00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:03.839
<v Speaker 2>that real and you think I'm I'm I'm be an extra,

533
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:06.319
<v Speaker 2>go to my social media pages and you'll find it

534
00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:09.279
<v Speaker 2>and you'll, I think you'd agree that it is creepy.

535
00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:14.839
<v Speaker 2>How real it looks all right. So earlier within the show,

536
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:17.559
<v Speaker 2>I was talking about Louisville's big game, of course, coming

537
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:21.200
<v Speaker 2>up on Saturday against Tennessee wide out noon, hoping to

538
00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:22.839
<v Speaker 2>see a big crowd there. I think the lower Bowl

539
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:24.640
<v Speaker 2>is going to be full, and I think the upper

540
00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:28.799
<v Speaker 2>level will have people there, but you know, probably not full.

541
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:32.759
<v Speaker 2>But here's the reality. We all want big turnouts, big crowds,

542
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:38.240
<v Speaker 2>but in order for Louisville to have a really good

543
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:40.759
<v Speaker 2>atmosphere to where you truly feel like you've got a

544
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:44.799
<v Speaker 2>rocking environment, where home court advantage is real, is real, valuable,

545
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:47.319
<v Speaker 2>I think all you really need is the Lower Bowl

546
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:49.200
<v Speaker 2>to be full and be into the game. And if

547
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:51.359
<v Speaker 2>this team plays the way they play they played up

548
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:53.400
<v Speaker 2>to this point, you're not gonna win every game you play.

549
00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:56.279
<v Speaker 2>But that's a style and an effort level that fans

550
00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:58.200
<v Speaker 2>will be on their seats for and they'll be loud

551
00:26:58.279 --> 00:27:01.319
<v Speaker 2>like those that are there, they're going to be rowdy

552
00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:04.559
<v Speaker 2>rooting this team on. And again, if you've got the

553
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:07.519
<v Speaker 2>lower Bowl full, that's really all you need for atmosphere.

554
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Now again, you want the upper level to have a

555
00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:11.519
<v Speaker 2>lot of seats filled, and I just it's tough to

556
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:14.640
<v Speaker 2>know if that's gonna happen this year, and if it

557
00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:16.440
<v Speaker 2>was gonna happen, I would say would probably before a

558
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:18.799
<v Speaker 2>game like this one, given the fact that it's against

559
00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:21.039
<v Speaker 2>the number twelve team in the country. But I'm excited

560
00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:24.839
<v Speaker 2>for Saturday. But my excitement is now not just because

561
00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:28.119
<v Speaker 2>of the opportunity, because of the you know, the big

562
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:31.079
<v Speaker 2>game that you have welcoming in a top fifteen team

563
00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:34.480
<v Speaker 2>in Pat Kelcey's second career game as your coach. I'm

564
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:37.920
<v Speaker 2>now confident also because I think loisvel is better and

565
00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:39.880
<v Speaker 2>like this may be the first time that I learned

566
00:27:39.880 --> 00:27:44.640
<v Speaker 2>the hard way that I need to be a little

567
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:49.279
<v Speaker 2>bit more measured in my expectations and belief right. Like,

568
00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:51.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm all in on Pat Kelsey and this team. Not

569
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:53.440
<v Speaker 2>to say that I think they're going to go, you know,

570
00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:57.000
<v Speaker 2>to the Final four or anything like that, but how

571
00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:58.920
<v Speaker 2>can you not be impressed with what you've seen so far.

572
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:02.400
<v Speaker 2>So until I did a little bit of a deep

573
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:05.160
<v Speaker 2>dive into Tennessee and their personnel, I mean, I was

574
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:08.319
<v Speaker 2>expecting Little to compete all along, and I knew that

575
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:12.079
<v Speaker 2>they could win, but I was probably in the mindset of, like, hey,

576
00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:15.039
<v Speaker 2>they'll probably lose a close game here because Tennessee's really good.

577
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:17.480
<v Speaker 2>But if they look good, then you'll feel, you know,

578
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:20.039
<v Speaker 2>you'll feel encouraged the rest of the way because man,

579
00:28:20.079 --> 00:28:22.240
<v Speaker 2>they played a really good team that close, and hey,

580
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:24.240
<v Speaker 2>maybe if they make some more free throws or this

581
00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:26.559
<v Speaker 2>goes that way vice versa, then maybe you win. Like

582
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:29.920
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of where I was until I looked at Tennessee.

583
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:31.559
<v Speaker 2>And maybe I'm wrong. It's tough to know how good

584
00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:34.920
<v Speaker 2>anybody truly is right now, but Tennessee, I think they're

585
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:38.480
<v Speaker 2>the best example of a team right now that is

586
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:40.720
<v Speaker 2>ranked where they are all based off of what they

587
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:43.200
<v Speaker 2>did a year ago. I mean, like nearly all of it.

588
00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:48.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Rick Barnes has proven to be a really

589
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:49.880
<v Speaker 2>good coach. I think he will be a Hall of Famer.

590
00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Last year they made an Elite eight, but that took

591
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:55.839
<v Speaker 2>Dalton Connect, a guy who probably wins National Player of

592
00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:58.319
<v Speaker 2>the Year every other year unless Zachi ed came back

593
00:28:58.319 --> 00:29:04.079
<v Speaker 2>to school. So you know, maybe I'm wrong and they're

594
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:05.920
<v Speaker 2>a really good team. But let me just give you

595
00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:08.680
<v Speaker 2>a little bit about their personnel here. I mean, they're

596
00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:15.519
<v Speaker 2>bringing back Zachai Ziggler, who is probably their best player

597
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:17.319
<v Speaker 2>and look, somebody called me out on it earlier. Maybe

598
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:19.799
<v Speaker 2>you're right, Like, maybe I didn't give him enough credit

599
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:21.640
<v Speaker 2>when I was mentioning that he's, you know, just some

600
00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:23.720
<v Speaker 2>average player. He's been a good player for Tennessee, an

601
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:28.079
<v Speaker 2>impactful guy that his stat line, his points, I should say,

602
00:29:28.319 --> 00:29:30.359
<v Speaker 2>really doesn't speak to his true value out there. He's

603
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:32.680
<v Speaker 2>a really good defensive player. He averaged about seven assists

604
00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:34.559
<v Speaker 2>a game last year, and he's back and he's good.

605
00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:36.440
<v Speaker 2>But I think you could say the same thing about

606
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:39.759
<v Speaker 2>Chucky Hepburn. Chuckie Hepburn. He doesn't have to score a

607
00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:41.160
<v Speaker 2>lot to have an impact in the game. And I'm

608
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:43.559
<v Speaker 2>not saying which one's better than the other because it's

609
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:44.960
<v Speaker 2>tough to say. And I would imagine that a lot

610
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:47.759
<v Speaker 2>of people probably would say that Ziggler's better, like I wouldn't.

611
00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:52.839
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't be shocked. But that's just one guy. I mean,

612
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:56.359
<v Speaker 2>outside of Ziggler, you know, there are other guards. They've

613
00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:02.680
<v Speaker 2>got Jordan Gainey, who transferred in from I think Charlotte

614
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:05.279
<v Speaker 2>was a fine player there but didn't really do a

615
00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:08.799
<v Speaker 2>whole lot after that. They've got another guy who averaged

616
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:11.400
<v Speaker 2>four points a game last year. That's returned, So they

617
00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:14.319
<v Speaker 2>did hit the portal and they got a couple of

618
00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:16.319
<v Speaker 2>good players. And one of the names I didn't mention

619
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:18.039
<v Speaker 2>is because he's not in the box score or he's

620
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:20.400
<v Speaker 2>not played for him, and he was somebody that I

621
00:30:20.440 --> 00:30:22.440
<v Speaker 2>guess was expected to have a pretty big jump. So

622
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:25.960
<v Speaker 2>again I'm gonna lay out why I think Tennessee could

623
00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:28.039
<v Speaker 2>eventually be pretty mid this year. And it wouldn't shock

624
00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:30.799
<v Speaker 2>me one if zigglers their best player, I'd say that

625
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:32.599
<v Speaker 2>there's going to be a pretty big fall from being

626
00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:36.279
<v Speaker 2>an Elite eight team with Dalton connect and then you know,

627
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Ziggler being your best guy, you may not even be

628
00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:40.400
<v Speaker 2>a tournament team. And that doesn't speak to him. It's

629
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:42.720
<v Speaker 2>just that you know he's not that good of a player,

630
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:44.599
<v Speaker 2>just like if you put Chucky Hepburn on certain teams,

631
00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:46.119
<v Speaker 2>he might be impactful, but are they going to be good?

632
00:30:46.119 --> 00:30:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Who knows. So the two transfers they brought, and one

633
00:30:50.240 --> 00:30:53.680
<v Speaker 2>is Chas Lanier who transferred from North Florida who plays

634
00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:56.480
<v Speaker 2>in the lowest one of the lowest leagues in Division one,

635
00:30:56.519 --> 00:30:57.920
<v Speaker 2>and he was good last year, but he played three

636
00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:00.400
<v Speaker 2>years at North Florida prior and never have more than

637
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:02.400
<v Speaker 2>four points a game. He had a breakthrough year last year,

638
00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:04.319
<v Speaker 2>and maybe he got a lot better and was a

639
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:07.519
<v Speaker 2>late bloomer. But you know, maybe he's a guy that is,

640
00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:11.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, solid at best at a place like Tennessee

641
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:14.880
<v Speaker 2>in the SEC. You know, I know his numbers are

642
00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:20.039
<v Speaker 2>better than I guess you could say Koran Johnson, but

643
00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Corran Johnson came off the bench for a PAC twelve team,

644
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:24.839
<v Speaker 2>Like I think, you know, most people, if you're taking

645
00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:28.799
<v Speaker 2>one of those two guys, would probably take Koran. But

646
00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:30.759
<v Speaker 2>if not him, then maybe they would take Arrence Edwards,

647
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:32.920
<v Speaker 2>who again was Sun Belt Player of the Year. Chas

648
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Laneyard again good player, but like Louisville's collection of good

649
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:39.279
<v Speaker 2>players at the in the back court, especially like I

650
00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:42.759
<v Speaker 2>would I think that the Edges to Louisville, not not

651
00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:46.200
<v Speaker 2>not Tennessee. And they brought in a big who transferred

652
00:31:46.279 --> 00:31:51.160
<v Speaker 2>in from I think it's from Charlotte, Yeah, Millichick, and

653
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:53.000
<v Speaker 2>he was a fine player there, had a bunch of

654
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:56.440
<v Speaker 2>double doubles averaged about twelve and eight. And even if

655
00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:00.400
<v Speaker 2>he's the same guy as he was at show Carlotte,

656
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:01.960
<v Speaker 2>like I don't know, if like that, this is a

657
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:04.279
<v Speaker 2>team that might end up being a top twenty five

658
00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:05.559
<v Speaker 2>team when it's all said and done. But I think

659
00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:07.960
<v Speaker 2>having them at number twelve is strictly because you're just

660
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:10.640
<v Speaker 2>slotting them similar to where they were a year ago.

661
00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:12.880
<v Speaker 2>And you do respect Rick Barnes, which I totally understand.

662
00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:16.160
<v Speaker 2>He's a good coach, But I think Louisville, when you

663
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:18.880
<v Speaker 2>look at their you know, I don't think anybody's got

664
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:21.079
<v Speaker 2>an All American caliber player on the team. I don't

665
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:24.279
<v Speaker 2>think anybody's got a surefire NBA guy on their team.

666
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:26.880
<v Speaker 2>So with that said, I think Louisll's got a better

667
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:31.960
<v Speaker 2>collection of players, and I would take them. Like I'm

668
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:35.640
<v Speaker 2>sure there's some of this that's coming from me being

669
00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:37.599
<v Speaker 2>a LOUISLL fan. I'm trying my best to be objective,

670
00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:41.759
<v Speaker 2>but I feel like you could break down the rosters

671
00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:45.759
<v Speaker 2>objectively or get people who are truly objective, and you could.

672
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:47.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it would really be much of a conversation.

673
00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:50.559
<v Speaker 2>I think you'd say, yeah, take Louisvill's team over theirs. Now,

674
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:52.200
<v Speaker 2>they do have one guy who I didn't mention earlier

675
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:56.400
<v Speaker 2>because again, he didn't play in their last two exit

676
00:32:56.759 --> 00:32:59.200
<v Speaker 2>and he played briefly, and he could play like five

677
00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:03.839
<v Speaker 2>minutes against India and then he ended up he ended

678
00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:07.480
<v Speaker 2>up not playing in their game against Gardner Web the

679
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:11.599
<v Speaker 2>other night. He transferred from Hofstra trying to trying to

680
00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:14.359
<v Speaker 2>figure out his name. And it may not be important

681
00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:15.880
<v Speaker 2>because it sounds like he's not playing. He's dealing with

682
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:19.160
<v Speaker 2>some kind of a personal issue. And Rick Barnes said

683
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:22.480
<v Speaker 2>yesterday that it's his time, meaning like he'll be back

684
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:25.599
<v Speaker 2>when he's ready to be back. So again, like, I mean,

685
00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:28.359
<v Speaker 2>maybe this guy is ready to be back on Saturday,

686
00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:31.240
<v Speaker 2>and man Louisville learns who he is really quickly, Like

687
00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:33.079
<v Speaker 2>maybe that happens. I don't know, none of us really

688
00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:35.920
<v Speaker 2>know what's gonna happen, but like that's not something that's

689
00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:37.799
<v Speaker 2>gonna scare me to where I feel like, oh, okay,

690
00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:41.599
<v Speaker 2>well Louisville, you know they play competitively and they keep

691
00:33:41.640 --> 00:33:44.000
<v Speaker 2>it close. That'll still be a positive, like and I

692
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:46.559
<v Speaker 2>guess it probably still can be. But I'm just gonna

693
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:48.079
<v Speaker 2>be honest with you. That's what I'm supposed to do, right,

694
00:33:48.079 --> 00:33:49.839
<v Speaker 2>that's the job. Tell you what I think, share opinions.

695
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:52.400
<v Speaker 2>It's a talk show. I'm not worried about Tennessee. They

696
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:54.359
<v Speaker 2>could beat Louisville. But like, I don't look at them

697
00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:57.519
<v Speaker 2>and think, man, it's gonna be really, really difficult. And

698
00:33:57.559 --> 00:34:00.079
<v Speaker 2>I could be totally wrong. I just happened to you know,

699
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:03.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, I just don't. I don't see how you

700
00:34:03.880 --> 00:34:05.680
<v Speaker 2>could make the case that they're the twelfth best team

701
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:08.719
<v Speaker 2>in the country. And again, here's what nobody says out loud.

702
00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:10.840
<v Speaker 2>It's impossible to know how good any team is in

703
00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:13.519
<v Speaker 2>college basketball before the season starts, let alone. Now with

704
00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:17.199
<v Speaker 2>the portal being what it is, all right, let's talk

705
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:20.159
<v Speaker 2>about Jeffersonnimal Hospital. That is who you need to turn

706
00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:23.480
<v Speaker 2>to when it comes to keeping your pets healthy. Maybe

707
00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:25.519
<v Speaker 2>you haven't had your pet, your dog or cat, to

708
00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:27.840
<v Speaker 2>get a check up in a long long time, and

709
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:29.400
<v Speaker 2>you just don't really think about it because you know

710
00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:31.239
<v Speaker 2>they seem fine to you and you may be right,

711
00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:34.360
<v Speaker 2>or they could have something going on that you want

712
00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:36.760
<v Speaker 2>to get a hold of it pretty early, right, If

713
00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:38.960
<v Speaker 2>it's something that they can be treated, you'd rather find

714
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:40.960
<v Speaker 2>out early rather than later when maybe it's a little

715
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:44.199
<v Speaker 2>too late. So I don't mean to put fear into you,

716
00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:46.719
<v Speaker 2>but you know, pets are family members, right, You want

717
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:48.159
<v Speaker 2>to keep them healthy. You want to keep them safe.

718
00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:50.400
<v Speaker 2>So if you don't have them regularly getting check ups,

719
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:52.880
<v Speaker 2>getting you know, shots and that kind of stuff, you

720
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:54.079
<v Speaker 2>need to have it done. And you need to do

721
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:56.400
<v Speaker 2>it with Jefferson Animal Hospital. Why because of the best

722
00:34:56.400 --> 00:34:58.239
<v Speaker 2>They've been around for forty four years. They've been opened

723
00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:00.880
<v Speaker 2>since nineteen eighty twenty four hours a day, three hundred

724
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:04.679
<v Speaker 2>and sixty five days a year. You don't stick around

725
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:06.960
<v Speaker 2>that long unless you're doing good business taking care of

726
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:09.119
<v Speaker 2>people's pets, and that's exactly what they do. So keep

727
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:11.400
<v Speaker 2>them in mind. BABO two nine hundred pets is the number.

728
00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:12.800
<v Speaker 2>If you want to give them a call. You can

729
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:16.320
<v Speaker 2>also text in BABO two sixty five three, or you

730
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:19.880
<v Speaker 2>can also check out their website at Jefferson Betts dot com.

731
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:22.119
<v Speaker 2>You can text the text line if you'd like, and

732
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:23.760
<v Speaker 2>then I can I can points you in that direction.

733
00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Once I just get to rambling off phone numbers, it

734
00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:28.599
<v Speaker 2>gets confusing, But anyway, shout out to Jefferson anim the

735
00:35:28.639 --> 00:35:30.159
<v Speaker 2>Hospital quick break. We'll come back on the other side.

736
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:35.119
<v Speaker 2>Wrap this thing up. On Sports Talk seven ninety This

737
00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:37.760
<v Speaker 2>text came in earlier and it's it's it's a good question.

738
00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:40.320
<v Speaker 2>I think it's I mean, we'll see, But the question

739
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:42.760
<v Speaker 2>is Nick, when you say Rick Barnes is the type

740
00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:45.199
<v Speaker 2>of coach who also has proven to be really good

741
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:47.840
<v Speaker 2>at dictating pace, that could be an issue for Louisvilleyeah.

742
00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:51.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look, if Louisville is not able to utilize

743
00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:54.719
<v Speaker 2>their strengths, which is, you know, spreading it out a

744
00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:57.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of possessions throughout an entire game and getting good

745
00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:00.760
<v Speaker 2>rhythmic three point shots from a team you know from

746
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:01.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, the majority of the guys that are going

747
00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:04.519
<v Speaker 2>to play, they have the green light. So if you know,

748
00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:06.679
<v Speaker 2>maybe that I mean, I think you're you're onto something

749
00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:08.559
<v Speaker 2>as far as that being a real critical part of

750
00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:11.519
<v Speaker 2>the game that whoever can can get it played more

751
00:36:11.559 --> 00:36:14.239
<v Speaker 2>so at their pace would have the best likelihood of winning.

752
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:16.920
<v Speaker 2>And that's true. But I still think that just from

753
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:19.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, even if the game wasn't played at you know,

754
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:21.920
<v Speaker 2>a track meet pace with a ton of possessions and

755
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:23.679
<v Speaker 2>a ton of good threes from Louisville, which is what

756
00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:25.519
<v Speaker 2>they want, I still think they have the personnel to

757
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:27.119
<v Speaker 2>where they can win. But clearly they're going to be

758
00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:29.239
<v Speaker 2>They're going to be at their best with the highest ceiling.

759
00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:31.159
<v Speaker 2>If they're playing the way Pat Kelsey wants to play,

760
00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:35.639
<v Speaker 2>because that's how he built this roster. All right, fellas sex,

791
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:00.800
<v Speaker 2>He's with us still here. You've not yet bet on

792
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:02.239
<v Speaker 2>any college hoops, right, No.

793
00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:04.760
<v Speaker 3>And kind of you're smart. I'm not to the thing

794
00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:06.360
<v Speaker 3>I did with college truble. I mean, I'm not making

795
00:38:06.360 --> 00:38:08.320
<v Speaker 3>picks this time and not betting them. That was a

796
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:10.039
<v Speaker 3>mistake for the early early game.

797
00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:12.639
<v Speaker 2>You're just looking at the You're looking at the board realizing, yeah,

798
00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:13.920
<v Speaker 2>nobody has so much.

799
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:15.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, yeah, you can kind of bet maybe on

800
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:18.280
<v Speaker 3>the really heavy favorites that are maybe projected to win

801
00:38:18.360 --> 00:38:19.320
<v Speaker 3>the national championship.

802
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:20.039
<v Speaker 2>That type of stuff.

803
00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:22.800
<v Speaker 3>But it's just so hard to predict what's going to

804
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:25.360
<v Speaker 3>happen in so many of these games where you have, like,

805
00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:27.639
<v Speaker 3>for example, Indiana's a twenty six and a half point

806
00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:31.079
<v Speaker 3>favorite against siu E tonight. Will they cover? Maybe they should,

807
00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:32.599
<v Speaker 3>but will they Who knows.

808
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:36.039
<v Speaker 2>I'll probably end up doing something. But like I'm looking

809
00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:40.880
<v Speaker 2>here and I'm saying, Arkansas they get the Caliperry Era

810
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:43.079
<v Speaker 2>started tonight and they're fourteen and a half point favorites

811
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:46.360
<v Speaker 2>over Lipscomb. I'm thinking, well, surely they're gonna cover that.

812
00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:50.360
<v Speaker 2>They're way better in Lipscomb's Lipscomb. But you know, it

813
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:52.760
<v Speaker 2>could be a backdoor cover because I know Arkansas has

814
00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:54.679
<v Speaker 2>had some guys that are dealing with some injury. Same

815
00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:58.519
<v Speaker 2>thing with with Lehigh. They are playing Georgetown, who's been

816
00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:00.559
<v Speaker 2>terrible for a while, but maybe it cool he really

817
00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:04.639
<v Speaker 2>breaks through in his second season. You know what I

818
00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:07.960
<v Speaker 2>have learned to not do as much is I think

819
00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:10.679
<v Speaker 2>because I know, hey, this team's pretty good, Like I'm

820
00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:13.239
<v Speaker 2>familiar with them, that like they're gonna cover a big

821
00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:15.960
<v Speaker 2>number when you know more often than not that hasn't

822
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:18.079
<v Speaker 2>worked out for me. And it's too early to really

823
00:39:18.119 --> 00:39:21.000
<v Speaker 2>know who the teams are that you know have value

824
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:23.679
<v Speaker 2>that maybe the books don't realize. So I'm sure I'll

825
00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:25.480
<v Speaker 2>get into something tonight even if I don't, you know,

826
00:39:25.519 --> 00:39:28.039
<v Speaker 2>win money, I'm gonna bet on college basketball and consume

827
00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:30.000
<v Speaker 2>it because college hoops season's here, and I love it

828
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:32.679
<v Speaker 2>so much. And I love all of you for sticking

829
00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:35.320
<v Speaker 2>with us hanging out today, and I hope you come

830
