Speaker 1: It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.
Speaker 2: During our first few breaks, I spent my time doing
Speaker 2: some research, trying to get a better feel for what
Speaker 2: I wanted to wager on, not only tonight, but some
Speaker 2: games tomorrow when it comes to college football. But towards
Speaker 2: the last you know, four minutes or so of that break,
Speaker 2: which was a good chunk of that commercial break, I
Speaker 2: was distracted by a different story, this one coming from
Speaker 2: our own backyard. Here WDRB headline. Police looking for person
Speaker 2: who's allegedly been pooping on porches in Old Louisville. You
Speaker 2: know that's got to be Dwight Whitten, right, They're on
Speaker 2: to him, says here. The Little Metro Police Department is
Speaker 2: looking for someone who's accused of repeatedly pooping. Oh, it's
Speaker 2: the same person's porch. The person has allegedly been pooping
Speaker 2: on a porch in Old Louisville. There are at least
Speaker 2: two reports filed from the person who lives in the
Speaker 2: twelve hundred block of South first Street. Another was taken
Speaker 2: by an officer Wednesday. It's unknown at this time with
Speaker 2: the suspect looks like Anyone with information is asked to
Speaker 2: call the department's anonymous crime tip line five O two
Speaker 2: five O'T two five seven four LMPD. So a very
Speaker 2: short story that they clearly know is going to be
Speaker 2: clicked on by a lot of people like me. Not
Speaker 2: often you see that, but yeah, you know, what's the charge?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: Is that indecent exposure?
Speaker 4: Is that you couldn't you might be able to get
Speaker 4: multiple things with that, Like.
Speaker 2: I mean, I know people was passing. What is the
Speaker 2: charge if you poop in public? What could I be
Speaker 2: charged with if I was to poop in public? Quick
Speaker 2: Google search here. I'm not saying anything that it says
Speaker 2: public dedication is a legal goal no matter where you
Speaker 2: do it. It's vandalism charge in certain states.
Speaker 4: That makes sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I could see so.
Speaker 4: So yeah, especially if it's you could use as like graffiti,
Speaker 4: which that would be taken into another level.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't have any enemies, at least not
Speaker 2: that I know of, not from my end. Maybe there
Speaker 2: are people who view me as an enemy. But if
Speaker 2: I had enemies and I wanted to, you know, do
Speaker 2: something to to really stick it to them in a
Speaker 2: way that would never cross my mind. But it's you know,
Speaker 2: it clearly is not something people like to walk out
Speaker 2: of their front door at their home and you know
Speaker 2: see human feces. So like, you know, if it's a
Speaker 2: random attack just because you want to mess with something stranger,
Speaker 2: you know, that's weird. It's weird regardless, but like, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe that is a way to where you can like
Speaker 2: nobody would ever think of it, but that that if
Speaker 2: you want to cause some some some inconvenience to somebody
Speaker 2: that you don't like, pooping on their porch repeatedly, could
Speaker 2: probably do that.
Speaker 4: Right, Imagine if this person had like a ring doorbell
Speaker 4: and you could watch the evidence.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they might and they just they're just
Speaker 2: disguising themselves. Maybe you're also leaving DNA behind, that's true, Like,
Speaker 2: but they wouldn't do that, right, Like, Hey, we think
Speaker 2: it's you, but we don't know for sure. To prove
Speaker 2: your innocence, will you provide a school sample? Like that
Speaker 2: would never happen, right, it might. It's getting really gross.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. You know, there's certain things you never like.
Speaker 2: I always go back to the airport guy. There's no
Speaker 2: more helpless place in the world than being at an airport,
Speaker 2: because you have no clue if you're gonna get off
Speaker 2: the ground on your flight on time, you have no
Speaker 2: mean like and and they're just gonna tell you the
Speaker 2: way it is, and that's what you're gonna do. You're
Speaker 2: just gonna have to deal with it. That's why people
Speaker 2: lose their minds in airports, and they become a version
Speaker 2: of themselves they didn't know existed because they were pushed
Speaker 2: too far. And that's like the guy in Nashville years ago,
Speaker 2: who he got so mad at an airport. What's he
Speaker 2: gonna do? Tell him he's not gonna fly anymore, Like
Speaker 2: you know, you don't. They're not by if you decide
Speaker 2: you're not gonna fly with him anymore. So you know
Speaker 2: what he did, He just got button naked and that
Speaker 2: and that got attention from everybody there to know just
Speaker 2: how upset and how bothered he was.
Speaker 4: You all right, John, No, I just remind it reminds
Speaker 4: me of the Morgan Wall and not impersonator, but the
Speaker 4: guy who looked like Morgan Wall and walking downtown. It
Speaker 4: was button naked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I kind of feel like he got like
Speaker 2: robbed or something.
Speaker 3: He might have been.
Speaker 2: I mean, although he wasn't really walking with a big
Speaker 2: pep in his step, but like to me, it looked
Speaker 2: like he initially it was like somebody who'd escaped from
Speaker 2: somewhere where he'd been stripped naked and like tied up
Speaker 2: or something. I don't know, maybe it was a wild
Speaker 2: I mean, that is sad. I mean, I always advocate
Speaker 2: for people to come enjoy downtown because I believe it
Speaker 2: or not, Like we are downtown every day, and like,
Speaker 2: wouldn't shock me that when we leave here at six
Speaker 2: o'clock on a Friday afternoon, four Street Live is gonna
Speaker 2: be gonna be popping because people who come to Louisville
Speaker 2: and are staying downtown for whatever reason, they come to
Speaker 2: four Street and there's a lot of stuff going on.
Speaker 2: So I always want people to give downtown a shot. Again,
Speaker 2: if you've decided to not come because you are fearful
Speaker 2: of safety and you think it's some boarded up war zone,
Speaker 2: because you know it's not. There's crime in every part
Speaker 2: of the city unfortunately. But then again, you know, every
Speaker 2: now and then, when I'm driving out of here to leave,
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, Okay, maybe I now have a better understanding
Speaker 2: as to why people are so worried about downtown because
Speaker 2: you know, you turn right on any block in downtown,
Speaker 2: you might see somebody taking a dump on the sidewalk,
Speaker 2: and like that's.
Speaker 4: And there's a stench downtown right now. I think it's
Speaker 4: always like a rain, it's pretty nasty, depending on which
Speaker 4: street you're going down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they explain that to us at one point as
Speaker 2: far as the sewers. Yeah, like if we don't get
Speaker 2: a lot of rain gets it gets to stinking pretty
Speaker 2: bad down here, especially when you get close to me.
Speaker 2: You add that kind of a stench mixed in with
Speaker 2: what you get in Butchertown. Yike, Oh, we have a
Speaker 2: pig stink, stink, stinky, very stinky.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: It's Coffee and Company. We are fueled by Thornton's here
Speaker 2: on Sports Talk seven to ninety nit coffee. That's me
Speaker 2: the company man John Aud alongside today as we take
Speaker 2: you up until six o'clock. Show is going to start
Speaker 2: at eleven o'clock tomorrow with myself. It is the Louisville
Speaker 2: Football pregame Show presented by Pellow Windows and Doors of
Speaker 2: Central Kentucky as well as Jefferson Animal Hospital and then
Speaker 2: we'll have postgame show as soon as it ends. So
Speaker 2: we'll be here up until kickoff and then come right
Speaker 2: back as soon as it ends, and we'll react to
Speaker 2: whatever happens. Louisville right now favored about thirty seven points
Speaker 2: in this matchup with Austin p a game that you
Speaker 2: know shouldn't be that close. And I am hoping that
Speaker 2: when they do start dominating this team, which I hope
Speaker 2: they do, the fact that it's new pieces, right, it's
Speaker 2: new players we've never watched before, that will sort of
Speaker 2: minimize the ho hum that I usually have whenever you
Speaker 2: see your team do things like that against inferior competition. Again,
Speaker 2: it's good to see, but what really, And it's just
Speaker 2: everybody's different, right, Like maybe you like watching your teams
Speaker 2: play these games because it's stress free for you and
Speaker 2: you know at the end of the day you're gonna
Speaker 2: win by a lot and that's fine. But where I
Speaker 2: find myself during games like this, thinking like, all right,
Speaker 2: calm down, Nick, don't overreact to anything good or bad.
Speaker 2: Is like, if they don't get a third down conversion
Speaker 2: and they have to pun against a team like this,
Speaker 2: I'm like, I guess the offense really sucks this year.
Speaker 2: Got a pun against this team, And again, that's an
Speaker 2: insane way to look at it, but I'm you know,
Speaker 2: I'm an insane person, I guess. So last year they
Speaker 2: played ten quarterbacks in their game against an FCS opponent
Speaker 2: that was Murray State. I don't know if we'll see
Speaker 2: that tomorrow because I don't think there's ten quarterbacks on
Speaker 2: the roster, but I'm hopeful we see a beat down
Speaker 2: and we get this thing started with, you know, these
Speaker 2: guys having an opportunity to, you know, just get a
Speaker 2: game under their belt against a team that probably won't
Speaker 2: challenge them really at all, and establish some confidence, continue
Speaker 2: to build that continuity. You know, obviously they've played together
Speaker 2: throughout the spring and in fall camp, but now you've
Speaker 2: got a chance to go do it against a real opponent.
Speaker 2: So for me, it may not mean a whole lot
Speaker 2: in regards to where everybody truly stands on the depth chart,
Speaker 2: but you're gonna see a lot of guys playing tomorrow,
Speaker 2: not just because you potentially are gonna be up by
Speaker 2: a bunch, but I think they've got first string guys
Speaker 2: on the depth chart. By the way, Jef brom does
Speaker 2: not release the depth chart, so are like, we'll know
Speaker 2: tomorrow when we see who's out there who in fact
Speaker 2: ended up being the starter at certain positions. And I
Speaker 2: think right now, on both sides of the ball, maybe
Speaker 2: more so on defense, but on both sides of the ball,
Speaker 2: you've got a one in two that really I think
Speaker 2: the staff doesn't seem much of a difference at all.
Speaker 2: They may give the nod to somebody who maybe most
Speaker 2: recently had a better practice, or maybe just as more experienced,
Speaker 2: and yet you know they're gonna let them get out
Speaker 2: there and play. Again, it's against an inferior opponent, but
Speaker 2: you know, it's good to have that depth to by
Speaker 2: the way, but I would say the coaching staff is
Speaker 2: probably looking at this as a chance to say, Okay,
Speaker 2: these guys in practice are pretty are pretty close their
Speaker 2: neck and neck, and we feel good about putting them
Speaker 2: both out there on the field. But let's see if
Speaker 2: that if that remains the case whenever you end up
Speaker 2: playing against a different team. So I also hope that
Speaker 2: they're up big to where you can get real reps
Speaker 2: for Pierce Clarkson. You know, I you never talk about
Speaker 2: the backup quarterback situation until you have to. And usually
Speaker 2: when you have to talk about the backup quarterback situation,
Speaker 2: it's because your guy stinks or there's an injury. I
Speaker 2: would say if one of those two things ends up
Speaker 2: playing out, it's likely going to be an injury for
Speaker 2: Tyler Shuck, which again, just because you've been injured a
Speaker 2: bunch doesn't mean you're going to get injured again. Clearly,
Speaker 2: he has a history of being injury prone. But you
Speaker 2: want to know what you got as a backup, and
Speaker 2: you oftentimes don't get a chance to learn that until
Speaker 2: something bad happens, right because you once you're started to
Speaker 2: be healthy. Because he won the job for a reason,
Speaker 2: he's your best quarterback. So I hope Tyler Shuck plays
Speaker 2: well in the first half to where Louisville's blowing this
Speaker 2: team off the floor or feel I should say, it's
Speaker 2: not basketball and you get Pierce Clarkson in there to play,
Speaker 2: you know, the rest of the game. I know, obviously
Speaker 2: Jeff will put other guys if they're up big, He'll
Speaker 2: play a lot of guys. But I would love for
Speaker 2: this to be a season where Louisville is not in
Speaker 2: super close games to where your starter's got to play
Speaker 2: the whole game because you the game is still within reach.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: I don't want to act like Louisville is such a
Speaker 2: dominant team that they're going to be blowing everybody out.
Speaker 2: But like last year when you played Indiana, no offense
Speaker 2: in Indiana. But given the way that season played out,
Speaker 2: you know, nobody would have been shocked had Louisville had
Speaker 2: especially after the way the first half win. Had Louisville
Speaker 2: been up, you know, thirty five to seven in the
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, you could have put you could have put
Speaker 2: your backup in and you know, kind of seen what
Speaker 2: you had. Now, last year's little different because you're backup.
Speaker 2: At that time, it was either going to be brock Doman, Yeah,
Speaker 2: brock Doman, as well as Evan Conley, who was still there.
Speaker 2: So this year, though, you know, I think it's important
Speaker 2: to get Pierce reps. Now, you can't do that just
Speaker 2: because you know you gotta win. But like last year,
Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, they weren't able to put
Speaker 2: anybody in unless you know it was a designed package
Speaker 2: because they you know, they they for example, they would
Speaker 2: put Evan Conley in there in the red zone because
Speaker 2: he was pretty good at reading it and running in
Speaker 2: for a touchdown. But you know, tomorrow, there's no there's
Speaker 2: gonna be no better opportunity than tomorrow to be up
Speaker 2: big and let Pierce Clarkson just get some real meaningful reps. Now,
Speaker 2: again it's against an FCS team, and if he puts
Speaker 2: up good numbers, that'll encouraging. But again it's you know,
Speaker 2: it's it's Austin p But I really hope that this
Speaker 2: game Jacksonville State next week, and then the worst teams
Speaker 2: you play that are in your conference, like maybe Boston College,
Speaker 2: maybe because you beat the hell out of them last
Speaker 2: year and played your backups. Maybe I don't know, Virginia,
Speaker 2: who's supposed to be the worst team in the league
Speaker 2: according to everybody. Like I hope those are games to
Speaker 2: where when you get to the fourth quarter, you do
Speaker 2: in fact have a big enough lead to where Brock
Speaker 2: not Brock, but Pierce gets legitimate reps to where when
Speaker 2: you do hit the offseason, you could think to yourself, Okay,
Speaker 2: we'll see what's out there in the portal, But we
Speaker 2: really like this guy. He's been here for two years
Speaker 2: learning the offense. He was a highly regarded quarterback. We're
Speaker 2: gonna hand the reins off to him and it's gonna
Speaker 2: be his time. I hope that plays out that way.
Speaker 2: But then again, I think you could do all that.
Speaker 2: But if you as a head coach, and especially one
Speaker 2: like Jeff brom who's very you know, very much known
Speaker 2: for his offensive play calling and he was a quarterback himself,
Speaker 2: they love Pierce, it'll be hard for you not to
Speaker 2: look in the portal and see who's there and potentially
Speaker 2: want to go at somebody, because like, that's just what
Speaker 2: this is now, which, by the way, that gives me
Speaker 2: a chance to bring this up. So a really good
Speaker 2: write up from Ross Dellingser at Yahoo Sports about the
Speaker 2: transfer portal and what it means for quarterbacks. So forty
Speaker 2: three transfer quarterbacks are expected to start among the sixty
Speaker 2: eight Power Conference teams. That's sixty three percent, and it's
Speaker 2: probably the most glaring sign yet of the transient era
Speaker 2: of college football. And I'm reading that directly from his piece,
Speaker 2: and I think he's spot on. So thirty of those
Speaker 2: forty three projected transfer starters are in their first year
Speaker 2: at their new school. So it's not just guys that
Speaker 2: have transferred before. These are guys who are freshly arriving
Speaker 2: at their new school. I mean, it's not surprising anymore,
Speaker 2: but like, think about how weird that would be ten
Speaker 2: years ago. So there are there are actually some first
Speaker 2: year starting quarterbacks at many schools across the country that
Speaker 2: are like teams that are expected to be good this year,
Speaker 2: Like Ohio State they've got the Howard Kidd from Kansas State,
Speaker 2: Oregon's got Dylan Gabriel. Notre Dame they've got Riley Leonard,
Speaker 2: Miami has cam Ward. So like, these are teams that
Speaker 2: are expected to be good and they have quarterbacks that
Speaker 2: are you know, experienced, but not at these schools. So
Speaker 2: you know those And by the way, those four guys
Speaker 2: that has mentioned are believed to be some of the
Speaker 2: highest paid guys in the portal at that position. But
Speaker 2: six of the forty three projected starters this week that
Speaker 2: have transferred half power five power four experience, I guess
Speaker 2: it's power four now at two different schools. And one
Speaker 2: of those is in fact Tyler Shuck. So Max Johnson,
Speaker 2: who by the way, got hurt last night for Carolina.
Speaker 2: It's a guy who has been a starter at Texas
Speaker 2: A and M and at LSU. Shuck as you know,
Speaker 2: has been at Texas Tech and Oregon dj u Galaliley
Speaker 2: at Florida State, both Oregon State and Clemson prior and
Speaker 2: it's just like, I don't know, this is the norm
Speaker 2: for quarterbacks and you know, I mean I do wonder though,
Speaker 2: if this happens for the next two three years and
Speaker 2: the results are pretty like it's not to say that
Speaker 2: you've been Like, for example, Dylan Gabriel's been good everywhere
Speaker 2: he's gone. I don't know why he left Oklahoma to
Speaker 2: go to Oregon, but either way, like that's a guy
Speaker 2: that he could bounce around to a new team every
Speaker 2: year and like you clearly know what you're getting. He's
Speaker 2: really good. But there's some guys and I think Shuck
Speaker 2: may fall into this because his numbers have been impressive. Obviously,
Speaker 2: what stands out about him more than anything is that
Speaker 2: he's just never been able to stay healthy. But Yukola Leiley,
Speaker 2: I mean, he was not good at Oregon State, or
Speaker 2: he was decent at Oregon State, not great at Clemson,
Speaker 2: certainly not for their standard. I mean, he was mid
Speaker 2: at best. And yet because he'd been around a lot,
Speaker 2: you knew who he was. He's a big guy, he
Speaker 2: had a really really big, you know, recruiting prowess coming
Speaker 2: out of high school. Like that led to people to
Speaker 2: just assume, oh, yeah, this makes sense. They're gonna be
Speaker 2: good because they got a guy who's been at Oregon
Speaker 2: State and at Clemson and he was a big time
Speaker 2: five start recruits six years ago. Like why I mean,
Speaker 2: and be fair, Florida State wasn't the only school that
Speaker 2: went after him, Like a lot of schools were interested
Speaker 2: in DJU And I just wonder at some point if
Speaker 2: you continue to see, you know, sixty two percent of
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, sixty three percent of the starting quarterbacks in
Speaker 2: the Power Conferences are transfers for the next few years.
Speaker 2: And more often than not, these guys that transferred in
Speaker 2: they weren't terrible, but like they didn't really they didn't
Speaker 2: really take you to it, Like you didn't use that
Speaker 2: guy from the portal to take to take a step
Speaker 2: further as a program like it is there ever, gonna
Speaker 2: be a point where the coaches just decide, yeah, there's
Speaker 2: a lot of guys out there, but man, they're out
Speaker 2: there for a reason. I'm gonna I'm gonna give my
Speaker 2: young guy a shot because I recruited him for a reason.
Speaker 2: Like for example, for example, if Miller Moss who lit
Speaker 2: Louisville on fire last year in that bowl game, right,
Speaker 2: I mean, he was unbelievable for USC. If Miller Moss
Speaker 2: doesn't ball out in that bowl game the way he did,
Speaker 2: would he be their starting quarterback? Not to say that
Speaker 2: he wouldn't be good enough, but like would Lincoln Riley
Speaker 2: feel like I got to go to the portal because
Speaker 2: I got to go get a guy that I've seen
Speaker 2: at least be pretty good at the Power five level.
Speaker 2: I love Miller Moss, but you know, I've only seen
Speaker 2: him play in high school. It's like, in order to
Speaker 2: be valued in college football as a quarterback, you have
Speaker 2: to go play somewhere and prove it, you know, at
Speaker 2: a previous school. But yet when you actually get that opportunity,
Speaker 2: if every school is looking for their next big quarterback
Speaker 2: to be a transfer, I mean, it's just crazy how
Speaker 2: quickly it has changed substantially to where it is rare
Speaker 2: for you to find a Power conference team that is
Speaker 2: either bringing back a seasoned quarterback who's played many years
Speaker 2: for them or they're just next man up. Right, Hey,
Speaker 2: our guy graduated this guy's been our backup for a
Speaker 2: year or two, and he knows the offense. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's hard to not be enamored by the portal because
Speaker 2: you can go get a player right away and you
Speaker 2: don't have to develop them as much. They've played college
Speaker 2: football for two three years. But I think just a
Speaker 2: quarterback being available on the portal, I don't know why
Speaker 2: there's still that intrigued. I just think it makes these
Speaker 2: guys seem better than they are. I don't know, we'll see.
Speaker 2: I mean, I have no problem with schools relying on
Speaker 2: the portal to go get a good quarterback. I just
Speaker 2: I just wonder if you know, like, for example, Miller
Speaker 2: Moss is actually the best example I can think of
Speaker 2: right now, because that guy, you know, he was behind
Speaker 2: some really good quarterbacks obviously at USC, I mean a
Speaker 2: Heisman Trophy winner last year, Kayler Williams, so you know,
Speaker 2: but again, I feel like had he not really stepped
Speaker 2: up and balled out, that maybe Lincoln Raley would have
Speaker 2: been more inclined to go hit the portal and go
Speaker 2: get one of these transfers. And you know, we'll never know.
Speaker 2: All right, we are gonna have a guest coming up here.
Speaker 2: In about ten minutes or so, we're going to talk
Speaker 2: to doctor Eric McElroy Protri at Physical Therapy, catch up
Speaker 2: with him for our weekly chat. Some of the things
Speaker 2: I want to get into today before we, you know,
Speaker 2: run out of time and get out here for the weekend.
Speaker 2: I do want to talk about something that we've yet
Speaker 2: to really get into, and that is the Yukon to
Speaker 2: the Big Twelve thing. It just sounds awful that you
Speaker 2: would go to the Big Twelve in every sport other
Speaker 2: than football, because that's the report is that if Yukon
Speaker 2: does join the Big Twelve, they'll be they'll be in
Speaker 2: that league for every sport other than football until twenty
Speaker 2: thirty one, when football could then potentially join. I asked
Speaker 2: the same question a lot of other people did, why
Speaker 2: the hell would you do that? Well, as weird as
Speaker 2: it seems, there is a pretty obvious reason that it's
Speaker 2: not that hard to figure out, but yet nobody seems
Speaker 2: to really be bringing it up. So we can take
Speaker 2: a look at that a little bit later on. Also, again,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of games I want to discuss as
Speaker 2: far as what I'm wagering on. And again, as John
Speaker 2: said earlier, you can fadus if you want, you know,
Speaker 2: you do what you want. But you know we're gonna
Speaker 2: we're gonna be confident in our picks today, John.
Speaker 4: We are going to be confident.
Speaker 2: We're gonna believe in the power of positivity.
Speaker 4: I'm here for it.
Speaker 2: I'm going to the text line here which I've neglected
Speaker 2: you guys today. I apologize. Fivebo two six five three
Speaker 2: zero seven ninety is the L and N Federal Credit
Speaker 2: Union text line if you guys want to tech. The
Speaker 2: first text that came in today. As I scrolled down,
Speaker 2: somebody asked me if I'm taller than Pat Kelsey. I
Speaker 2: don't think so, but I don't really know. Can you
Speaker 2: reference the baseball picture? I guess I haven't looked.
Speaker 4: I think you're probably you look if I remember right,
Speaker 4: you're pretty much identical when it comes to height.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean like I when I see him
Speaker 2: next to his players, and I see him next to
Speaker 2: like Mark Pope, who, by the way, is like what
Speaker 2: six ten, six eleven or something like that, I feel
Speaker 2: like if it was me, I would look shorter. But
Speaker 2: I'm five eight. I feel like he's probably about the
Speaker 2: same height, And I don't know why that's a question
Speaker 2: somebody's asking. But yeah, I don't know. I would imagine
Speaker 2: we're probably relatively close in height, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: All right, quick break again, we're going to talk to
Speaker 2: doctor Eric mclroy here on the other side. Get back
Speaker 2: to the text line. Get your set for the weekend.
Speaker 2: Week one of college football. It's here and I don't
Speaker 2: know how. I haven't got to it yet. But I
Speaker 2: had a tough loss last night with that minute so
Speaker 2: at a Carolina game. John and I both did but
Speaker 2: I didn't wager. But it was still a tough loss
Speaker 2: for me to see Colorado win when they shouldn't have.
Speaker 2: And I know I'm not alone, by the way. I'm
Speaker 2: not like just this hater out here on an island
Speaker 2: that's anti Colorado. I could sense it last night. The
Speaker 2: college football world wanted Dion Sanders in Colorado to lose,
Speaker 2: and they didn't, but they also didn't like Look, I
Speaker 2: mean like I could see them once again being the
Speaker 2: same kind of team it going down to the very
Speaker 2: wire to beat a good FCS program. Like I could
Speaker 2: see them being the same exact team as they were
Speaker 2: last year. All right, quick break, We'll come back on
Speaker 2: the other side, keep it rolling along. It's coffee and company.
Speaker 2: I feel about Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety. Coffee
Speaker 2: and company, rolling along here on a Friday afternoon, getting
Speaker 2: you set for the weekend. Appreciate you guys hanging out
Speaker 2: with us on another very hot day here in Kentuckyana.
Speaker 2: And joining us now is doctor Eric macelroy from Pro
Speaker 2: Rehab Physical Therapy. How are you doing, Eric, You staying cool?
Speaker 2: You staying hydrated.
Speaker 3: I'm doing the best I can. Let's put it that way.
Speaker 2: It's tough out there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's pretty hot, and you know, going out to
Speaker 5: kids soccer practices and everything else, and yeah, but you know,
Speaker 5: for the most part, staying up on it.
Speaker 2: I think yesterday was the hottest day in twelve years
Speaker 2: here in Louisville. And it's really just been a brutal week.
Speaker 2: And it's been I mean, if you are involved in
Speaker 2: any way and use sports rather that be you know,
Speaker 2: little league football or soccer, or even you know, middle
Speaker 2: school in high school football, it's been you've been tracking
Speaker 2: the heat index and the temperatures to kind of see
Speaker 2: if you were going to be able to play. And
Speaker 2: I know there's some leagues that have probably even if
Speaker 2: they were able to technically as far as the rule,
Speaker 2: they just decided not to because it's just been so hot.
Speaker 2: What are some tips you know for parents out there
Speaker 2: to like share with their kids, Like, Hey, I know,
Speaker 2: you know, when you're at practice, you're going to be
Speaker 2: chugging water, but it's probably going to go right through you.
Speaker 2: What are some things you would tell, you know, a
Speaker 2: ten year old or an eleven year old youth league
Speaker 2: football player when they got practice, Like some things throughout
Speaker 2: the day at school or maybe even after school they
Speaker 2: could do to be as be hydrated as best they can.
Speaker 2: Obviously drinking water is a big factor, but I know
Speaker 2: there's more too than just that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, Nick, you have kids. It's hard
Speaker 3: with kids too, you know e.
Speaker 5: It's like you constantly have to remind them to drink
Speaker 5: water or drink fluids unless it's something that they shouldn't
Speaker 5: be drinking, you know, SODA's or whatnot. So I think
Speaker 5: that one making sure that they are going to school.
Speaker 3: Most kids nowadays go to.
Speaker 5: School with a water bottle or some you know something,
Speaker 5: and that they're drinking throughout the day. You know, a
Speaker 5: lot one of the things you can do is monitor
Speaker 5: their water bottle, so like, you know, is this the
Speaker 5: water we filled up in the morning before you went
Speaker 5: to school, or is this something you.
Speaker 3: Filled up during the day, And you know, they'll they'll
Speaker 3: tell you, especially if they're old enough to tell you.
Speaker 5: That's important because if it's something they still had in
Speaker 5: the morning, they obviously didn't do a good job of
Speaker 5: drinking their water because they got to stay on top
Speaker 5: of it, especially if they are in sports. So that's
Speaker 5: one of the things. The other thing is, I think,
Speaker 5: you know, kids are pleasers. They're gonna try to please
Speaker 5: their coach, they're gonna try to please their parents, and
Speaker 5: making sure that hey, like, if you don't feel good,
Speaker 5: you need to say something, you know, especially at the
Speaker 5: ages where they don't have a trainer that's monitoring them.
Speaker 3: They don't have a trainer that's following them around.
Speaker 5: Giving them water, so you know, making sure that they're
Speaker 5: being honest and it's okay to be honest and to
Speaker 5: explain them like, you know, if you feel dizzy, if
Speaker 5: you feel nauseous, if you feel lightheaded, if you feel
Speaker 5: you know, whatever it is you feel, you know, make
Speaker 5: sure that you go to your coach and you tell
Speaker 5: them so you can, you know, either sit out or
Speaker 5: make sure that you're getting the water, getting checked out
Speaker 5: so we know that.
Speaker 3: You're not starting to have any heat exhaustion or anything
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 5: So you know, kids are resilient, and I think we
Speaker 5: take that for granted. So I think making sure that
Speaker 5: that they're being honest and open and and that they
Speaker 5: that if they don't feel good, that they can come
Speaker 5: to a coach or come to an adult and make
Speaker 5: sure that they.
Speaker 3: Let them know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I tell you what I think. I think when
Speaker 2: it comes to what you just said, you're speaking exactly
Speaker 2: to me, because you know, my son is four years old.
Speaker 2: He just turned four in June, and he's playing his
Speaker 2: first year of flag football. So he wants to please
Speaker 2: his coach, he wants to make everybody proud, but like
Speaker 2: this is new to him as far as being on
Speaker 2: a team and that kind of an atmosphere, right, and
Speaker 2: it's you know, it's a little league football. The're four
Speaker 2: and five years old. But still you know, they practice,
Speaker 2: you know, they've they've got coaches and it's it's adorable
Speaker 2: to see. But I was watching practice a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks ago and I thought, you know, he looked like
Speaker 2: he was in pain, like something was bothering him. So
Speaker 2: I walked over and I'm like, hey, buddy, okay, and
Speaker 2: he had to go to the bathroom, but he didn't
Speaker 2: want to tell anybody because you know, he's practicing. It's
Speaker 2: like he didn't realize, Hey, it's ok. You can say
Speaker 2: that you have to go to the bathroom, buddy, and
Speaker 2: we'll take you. It's not that big of a deal.
Speaker 2: So yeah, kids want to you know, especially when it's
Speaker 2: new to him. That's what stood out to me is
Speaker 2: that like this is all a brand new experience for him,
Speaker 2: so you know, you can never remind him too much.
Speaker 2: And you know this is probably a little to TMI
Speaker 2: for certain people, but like when it comes to him,
Speaker 2: I say, hey, buddy, try to drink as much liquid
Speaker 2: as you can drink water, because consider it a victory
Speaker 2: when you use the restroom and it's not dark, it's
Speaker 2: it's more so clear. And he tells me, Daddy, Daddy,
Speaker 2: it was it was clear, it wasn't dark, and I'm like, here.
Speaker 3: We go, that's right. And then you know it's great.
Speaker 5: You know the kids that age, you know, my wife
Speaker 5: is you know, speaking a team out but she, you know,
Speaker 5: for a long time, she wanted to see what our kids,
Speaker 5: you know, urine looked like, or what their poop look like.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's important now she's in that world,
Speaker 5: but it's still important.
Speaker 3: That you know, those are things that we're looking at
Speaker 3: because it.
Speaker 5: Does tell us a lot about how they're doing, you know,
Speaker 5: and especially if they're talking about upset stomachs or if
Speaker 5: they're not drinking water.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's extremely important.
Speaker 5: It's not something you want to do, but as a parent,
Speaker 5: there's a lot of stuff like that we have to do.
Speaker 2: So yep, and uh, you know, parenting it's it's the
Speaker 2: best thing that's ever happened to me. But you know,
Speaker 2: I'll admit it, I'm still learning stuff as I go.
Speaker 3: You know. It's it's you know, it's.
Speaker 2: Trial and error. So all right, So louisvill football getting
Speaker 2: started tomorrow. They're gonna be without Colin Lacey, transfer receiver,
Speaker 2: who will probably be out an extended period of time
Speaker 2: due to a collarbone injury. He broke his collar bone.
Speaker 2: He did have surgery last week. Uh, and I guess
Speaker 2: it kind of depends on maybe how severe the break was.
Speaker 2: But what would you say, you know, estimated timeline not
Speaker 2: for him to return, but to where he would be
Speaker 2: going through rehab to kind of you know, start that
Speaker 2: healing process because obviously it's gonna be a while before
Speaker 2: he can actually play. But how long after a surgery
Speaker 2: would you see somebody in this situation start actually going
Speaker 2: through physical therapy to to kind of you know, you know,
Speaker 2: take baby steps to return.
Speaker 3: Pretty soon, especially for clavical fractures.
Speaker 5: So once they have that secure and then the bones
Speaker 5: just gonna heal, we'll start doing things that you know,
Speaker 5: first we're gonna work around it some you know, but
Speaker 5: there's areas we can still work on and we can
Speaker 5: get a shoulder moving a little bit, you know, because
Speaker 5: that joint, the gal humoral joint, you know, they operate together.
Speaker 5: Everything operates together to some level, but you know, they
Speaker 5: also can be if we do it the.
Speaker 3: Right way independent. Uh.
Speaker 5: So, once they've kind of external or internally fixated that bone,
Speaker 5: if they have to, uh, then now we're really you know,
Speaker 5: the bone's trying to heal and at the same time
Speaker 5: we're trying to maintain mobility. Then we start integrating strength
Speaker 5: when the bone can tolerate it, and you know, then
Speaker 5: start building, you know, making sure that whatever level of
Speaker 5: conditioning we can do. You know, we're we're butting up
Speaker 5: to the season, so you know, whatever creative way or
Speaker 5: way we can get him going, so our our gap
Speaker 5: and you know, you know, we're all about closing the gap,
Speaker 5: like how can we close the gap close enough to
Speaker 5: that way it's seamless for him to get back on
Speaker 5: the field versus waiting around too long, you know, you know,
Speaker 5: trying to be ultras conservative where you know, then we
Speaker 5: have a larger gap once we get the green light,
Speaker 5: and now we're having to get him into shape and
Speaker 5: all that stuff. We you know, when you're building the
Speaker 5: end of the season, you'll have time for that. So
Speaker 5: when you're working with athletes, you got to think about,
Speaker 5: all right, yes, we got to protect the bone, We're
Speaker 5: got to protect the healing process.
Speaker 3: What can we do to do that, but also make sure.
Speaker 5: That we're getting him at the point where we're as
Speaker 5: close as we possibly can't be when when we know
Speaker 5: it's time to get him on the field and do
Speaker 5: some you know, catch and ball, you know, running routes,
Speaker 5: taking hits, whatever it may be. That way we're you know,
Speaker 5: we're not missing more time than we really need to be.
Speaker 2: Doctor K mclroy, Proti of Physical Therapy is our guest
Speaker 2: joining us here on a Friday afternoon on Sports Talk
Speaker 2: seven ninety. A pretty awful injury last night in one
Speaker 2: of the college football games North Carolina quarterback Max Johnson
Speaker 2: actually making his debut for the tar Heels. He played
Speaker 2: previously at A and m LSU and was out there
Speaker 2: for the Heels broken leg. Had had successful surgery on
Speaker 2: that broken right leg, according to On three Sports, and
Speaker 2: just something that that that stood out to me in
Speaker 2: this in this in this report was that he will
Speaker 2: be staying up in Minneapolis where he had the surgery,
Speaker 2: for the next few days and then returning to Chapel Hill.
Speaker 2: Does that stand out to you as surprising? Is that
Speaker 2: pretty common to have this kind of surgery, maybe not
Speaker 2: want to get on a plane and fly back. I just,
Speaker 2: you know, usually I feel like these guys, I mean,
Speaker 2: usually guys don't come back from a game coming off
Speaker 2: of a surgery for a broken leg. But I just
Speaker 2: I'm curious if that's because just for comfort or if
Speaker 2: that's like required by the medical staff to say, hey,
Speaker 2: after the surgery, you know you don't need to be traveling.
Speaker 2: You need to be in this hospital bed until you know,
Speaker 2: until we say so.
Speaker 3: So I didn't see this particular.
Speaker 5: Injury, it was pretty bad, tell yeah, and I'm assuming
Speaker 5: it was this tibi ar fibula.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they weren't showing replace, which told me is all
Speaker 2: I needed to know.
Speaker 5: So what that tells me is that area of the body,
Speaker 5: if that's the case, is very susceptible to what's called
Speaker 5: like compartment syndrome and infection. So if you think about
Speaker 5: what happened to Tiger, what you think about what happened
Speaker 5: to Alex Smith, so you know they're susceptible to that.
Speaker 5: So if there's any risk, they're going to keep him
Speaker 5: there to make sure that doesn't happen. Because if anybody
Speaker 5: saw the pictures of what Alex Smith like look like,
Speaker 5: looks like you don't want to go through that, and
Speaker 5: I think that you know, that's kind of where that
Speaker 5: comes from.
Speaker 3: It's it's all dependent on all right, you.
Speaker 5: Know, what's the what are the worst case scenarios for
Speaker 5: this situation and what do we need to do to
Speaker 5: make sure we're outside of that window of that happening
Speaker 5: and in that area of the body, especially if it compounded.
Speaker 5: So if the bone exited the skin, then they're even
Speaker 5: more concerned about that just because it got exposed to
Speaker 5: the external environment. And so even though they went in
Speaker 5: and cleaned all that out, it's still a risk, right,
Speaker 5: it's biology.
Speaker 3: So you know, I think that that's where they're they're
Speaker 3: gonna be.
Speaker 5: Ultra conservative and make sure that they don't create a
Speaker 5: you know, it's it's not like he has anything to do.
Speaker 5: I stay it that way, but like being there, being safe,
Speaker 5: being in that sterile hospital environment where they can monitor
Speaker 5: those things, so they're not creating you know, nothing, no
Speaker 5: secondary issues happened that could be more of a long
Speaker 5: term problem.
Speaker 2: So when that injury happened, obviously his teammates and even
Speaker 2: the other team could tell that was a very serious injury.
Speaker 2: I mean, everybody in the stadium could tell that it
Speaker 2: was that it was it was bad. When it comes
Speaker 2: to trying to get football players to kind of, you know,
Speaker 2: get back focused and try not to think about that,
Speaker 2: I mean, easier said than done. I mean, the human
Speaker 2: element in sports is a very powerful thing, but is
Speaker 2: it mostly like how often would a training staff potentially
Speaker 2: like be involved in that I mean, I assume you're
Speaker 2: you're if you're not the if you're not the trainer
Speaker 2: that's helping the athlete get to the back to get
Speaker 2: checked on and all that kind of stuff. It's just,
Speaker 2: you know, I feel like that that would be a
Speaker 2: very difficult thing to do, to have to kind of
Speaker 2: tell these guys, hey, I know you really care about
Speaker 2: your teammate who seems to be really hurt, but we
Speaker 2: got a game to play. I mean, it's it's kind
Speaker 2: of inhumane, but you know, that's that's kind of part
Speaker 2: of sports. I'm just curious in your in your in
Speaker 2: your experience in the sports side of things. Like I'm
Speaker 2: sure there are teammates who are distraught when they see
Speaker 2: their guy go down. I mean, Kevin Ware that was
Speaker 2: an emotional situation when that happened many many years ago,
Speaker 2: and I just it's one of those things that you
Speaker 2: probably don't think about the emotional side of it until
Speaker 2: you know it's you out there, and a lot of us,
Speaker 2: myself included, have never been in that position where I've
Speaker 2: played sports at that level.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think that it's it's tough, you know,
Speaker 5: I'll be honest, I can speak in a personal experience.
Speaker 5: I was playing in a regional all star game here
Speaker 5: in football in Louisville, and we ran this really dumb.
Speaker 5: I don't know why at the time, cross middle kick return.
Speaker 5: It's an all star game and a kid who had
Speaker 5: committed to Louisville was blindsided a hit and he paralyzed it.
Speaker 3: You know, he ended up passing away several years later.
Speaker 5: But we we we play and I look back and
Speaker 5: I'm like, I have no idea how it's an all
Speaker 5: star game.
Speaker 3: It really didn't matter at that point. But you know,
Speaker 3: the and the guy that hit him, who was a
Speaker 3: very good football player at a Wagner, he quit. He
Speaker 3: could never.
Speaker 2: Play against that would do so much to it.
Speaker 5: Right, And I think that you know, we've seen this
Speaker 5: with the Buffalo Bills player. You know, they actually did
Speaker 5: stop the game, which was probably the right thing to do.
Speaker 3: That's a little different because he had a cardion caress.
Speaker 5: But I do think that you I think that you
Speaker 5: have to kind of reset the mindset of the players
Speaker 5: of like, we do know this is a risk and
Speaker 5: injuries happened.
Speaker 3: We hear it all the time in practice. You hear
Speaker 3: it all the time, and hosting.
Speaker 5: And all that stuff, and and you know it's unfortunate,
Speaker 5: and you also it's up to the staff to say, hey, look,
Speaker 5: he's gonna be fine, he's gonna be all right.
Speaker 3: Now we need to play for him, you know, you.
Speaker 5: Kind of change that, try to bring that to a
Speaker 5: different mindset.
Speaker 3: To get them to refocus and say, all right, let's
Speaker 3: let's take the time we need, but at the same time,
Speaker 3: let's now we have that much more to play for.
Speaker 5: Let's make sure that you know, you know, we're in
Speaker 5: the our heads are in the right place at this
Speaker 5: moment time, because you don't want players also obviously.
Speaker 3: Distracted or are working in fear or anything like that.
Speaker 5: So you know, I think different levels, you know, the
Speaker 5: higher you get it to go. Most of them have
Speaker 5: seen stuff like this happen, unfortunately, and so they're probably
Speaker 5: a little more I hate to call it callous to it,
Speaker 5: but you know it may not impact them as much
Speaker 5: and or they handle it or the way they handle it.
Speaker 5: And then they have sports psychologists there, I mean, they're
Speaker 5: on the field. It's amazing when you look.
Speaker 3: Down at the staff that's out there, who's probably.
Speaker 5: Down there to help kind of you know, talk to
Speaker 5: whoever needs to be talked to to get them in
Speaker 5: the right you know, mindset.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And just throughout this conversation it has actually made
Speaker 2: me realize how important it actually is to see those
Speaker 2: guys give those thumbs up when they're being carted off
Speaker 2: or some type of a sign.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, that could really go a long way now
Speaker 2: that I mean, I've always clearly you want to see
Speaker 2: something like that, But if you're a player and you're
Speaker 2: trying to get back focused, seeing that can help you
Speaker 2: kind of lock back in. And you know that, Not
Speaker 2: that I've ever acted like those things aren't helpful, but
Speaker 2: just in the conversation here, I just realized, Man, if
Speaker 2: it was me out there and I saw my guy
Speaker 2: give the thumbs up, I would it would be easier
Speaker 2: for me to kind of just get back focused and
Speaker 2: you know, try to go win and and compete. All Right,
Speaker 2: one more question for you before we let you go, Eric,
Speaker 2: Let's say, and I've been asking all of our guests
Speaker 2: this question this week as we're getting closer to college
Speaker 2: football season. In fact, it's here tomorrow is the first
Speaker 2: time a lot of people around here are going to
Speaker 2: be tailgating. Hopefully, whether it's not too bad. But if
Speaker 2: doctor Eric McElroy is going to be making an appearance
Speaker 2: at a tailgate and he's got three things he wants
Speaker 2: to make sure are there. What do we need to
Speaker 2: provide to make sure we're accommodating doctor McElroy. Could be food,
Speaker 2: could be beverage, could be something in regards to the atmosphere.
Speaker 2: What is crucial for doctor McElroy.
Speaker 3: Well, I think the first thing.
Speaker 2: Is Okay, I like it.
Speaker 3: I like it, you know, I mean, so I think
Speaker 3: that that's just that's one.
Speaker 5: You know, a cold beer, you know, I just you know,
Speaker 5: I'm not I don't drink as much beer.
Speaker 3: As I used to. If I'm gonna have beverages, it
Speaker 3: just comes with age, I think. But but you know, yeah,
Speaker 3: I think a beer, and then.
Speaker 5: I think just a really good cheese dip, caso dip,
Speaker 5: you know, something about like chips and dip or.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, some salty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, something like that. Just that's what I have to add.
Speaker 2: Good stuff, good stuff. I can't wait football seasons here,
Speaker 2: I know, as a football player yourself. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: best time of the year. It's just I mean, it's
Speaker 2: the vibes are great. But Eric, I appreciate you as
Speaker 2: always making time for us and enjoyed the holiday weekend,
Speaker 2: enjoy the football and we will talk soon, my friend.
Speaker 3: That sounds good. Have a go with Nick.
Speaker 2: Take care. That's doctor Eric McElroy again from Pro Rehabs Therapy.
Speaker 2: Always appreciate him making time for us. And now we
Speaker 2: got to take a quick break. We'll come back and
Speaker 2: wrap up the four o'clock hour. Don't forget though, we're
Speaker 2: taking you up till six o'clock. So hang out right
Speaker 2: here with us on Sports Talk seven ninety. Not a
Speaker 2: lot of time left here in the four o'clock hour.
Speaker 2: And I'm just scrolling through Twitter here and just a
Speaker 2: reminder that like we're so close that like we're getting
Speaker 2: stir crazy here. I think we just want to see
Speaker 2: our teams play. We've exhausted all different ways. You can
Speaker 2: talk about expectations, the new you know, storylines, that kind
Speaker 2: of stuff. And this is from Katz coverage. They cover UK.
Speaker 2: I would assume, but it says here at starting quarterback
Speaker 2: Brock Vandergriff says he doesn't tell the coaches, but he
Speaker 2: struggles to sleep the night before games because he loves
Speaker 2: football so much and like everybody's sharing that, Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I would hope that everybody who plays football at a
Speaker 2: high level loves doing it and is you know, enjoys it.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean as much as we as fans
Speaker 2: are just ready, I think these guys are ready to.
Speaker 2: I mean, they've been practicing against each other for you know,
Speaker 2: the entire offseason, and even if it is an inferior
Speaker 2: opponent tomorrow for louisvilland for Kentucky for that matter, it's
Speaker 2: at least somebody different. And although from a selfish fan
Speaker 2: that I am standpoint, like I want to see my
Speaker 2: team week in and week out play somebody where I
Speaker 2: feel like I'm learning, Are they getting better? What did
Speaker 2: this mean? You know? Is what's to gain here? And
Speaker 2: with tomorrow you have a chance to gain a win,
Speaker 2: and you know, you only play twelve games, so the
Speaker 2: more wins you get, the better, and tomorrow should be
Speaker 2: a win. If not, you got big problems. But it's just,
Speaker 2: you know, it's hard to know what the value is there.
Speaker 2: So my point is this, in the portal era, with
Speaker 2: so many new pieces, I think it's it actually does
Speaker 2: make sense to have the schedule for Louisville set up
Speaker 2: the way that it has where you have Jacksonville State
Speaker 2: next week, and of course this be costin p Those
Speaker 2: are the two worst teams you're going to play all year,
Speaker 2: and it'll give you a chance to work through some things. Maybe.
Speaker 2: I mean, I would hope that they don't have a
Speaker 2: bad performance in either of these games. But let's say
Speaker 2: you know, they don't cover the thirty seven or whatever
Speaker 2: the spread is next week. You know that wouldn't be ideal.
Speaker 2: But I also can't act like all that means we're
Speaker 2: going to be in trouble because again, like you just
Speaker 2: it's these guys can tell themselves they're going out there
Speaker 2: and play in Florida State, but they know they're not,
Speaker 2: you know, and especially when you're up a few scores
Speaker 2: or something, you know, things can kind of slip. But
Speaker 2: i'd rather them be able to have some you know,
Speaker 2: some growing pains as a unit, right because again, although
Speaker 2: these guys are veterans, a lot of them have transferred
Speaker 2: in are quarterbacks like thirty years old. You know, this
Speaker 2: is still new as far as this team. You know,
Speaker 2: they've practiced together, but now it's really a game, and
Speaker 2: I think it's it's a benefit to be able to
Speaker 2: work through some things, make some mistakes, you know, kind
Speaker 2: of cut your teeth a little bit against these kind
Speaker 2: of teams to where you could do that and probably
Speaker 2: still win big. You do it against Georgia Tech. Now,
Speaker 2: maybe it's a different story because as we know, Georgia
Speaker 2: Tech is an acc team, and they right now have
Speaker 2: the biggest upset of the season thus far. And I
Speaker 2: wouldn't be shocked if we get to the end of
Speaker 2: week one and you still say that's the biggest upset.
Speaker 2: I mean, top ten teams don't lose in the first
Speaker 2: week or two very often, because rarely do you see
Speaker 2: top ten teams, you know, play good teams this early
Speaker 2: in the season. But anyways, we got to run quick break.
Speaker 2: We've got the five o'clock hour on a Friday coming
Speaker 2: your way. We'll talk more about the weekend's matchups because
Speaker 2: there's a lot of great games. In fact, the good
Speaker 2: games aren't the ones here locally. But I know that's
Speaker 2: what people care about Louisville, Kentucky.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 2: But we'll finish strong. At least we'll try. I mean,
Speaker 2: we always try. I can't guarantee you what's gonna happen,
Speaker 2: but stick around you'll find out right here on Sports
Speaker 2: Talk seven ninety
