00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.

3
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:26.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure how many of our listeners are into TikTok,

4
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:30.239
<v Speaker 2>meaning they utilize it or they just use it for entertainment,

5
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:32.159
<v Speaker 2>but it has been a big story in recent weeks,

6
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:35.960
<v Speaker 2>says one of the most popular platforms in the world

7
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:38.759
<v Speaker 2>will no longer be available to us here in the

8
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:44.479
<v Speaker 2>United States. And what I really remember about I guess

9
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:47.840
<v Speaker 2>the realization that TikTok was a huge thing that was

10
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.759
<v Speaker 2>clearly going to be a dominant social media platform was

11
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:55.799
<v Speaker 2>when it passed YouTube for the average time spent on

12
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 2>the average time each experience you have when you open

13
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.079
<v Speaker 2>up the app or with YouTube, it's little differ because

14
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:05.079
<v Speaker 2>you obviously use apps, but you could also use YouTube

15
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:07.879
<v Speaker 2>on computers and whatnot. TikTok, I guess it's the same thing,

16
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:10.959
<v Speaker 2>but it's probably ninety nine point nine percent used on

17
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:13.719
<v Speaker 2>apps or used as an app on somebody's phone. So

18
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 2>when people were spending more time there than YouTube per experience,

19
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's now it doesn't sound as crazy, but

20
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.079
<v Speaker 2>I remember hearing that a few years ago. I'm thinking, Wow,

21
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm not the only one that just sometimes ends up

22
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.840
<v Speaker 2>there and two hours goes by and I'm like, wow,

23
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:30.000
<v Speaker 2>that was a real big waste or was it because

24
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:32.680
<v Speaker 2>I was actually entertained, wasn't productive, Probably should have been

25
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 2>doing something different. But I've gotten lost within TikTok many

26
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 2>many times, and I am going to be sad if

27
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:43.480
<v Speaker 2>in fact we can't utilize it anymore. But for me,

28
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:45.840
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't impact my livelihood. It just is something that

29
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.079
<v Speaker 2>I now do to entertain myself that won't be there

30
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 2>and technically, like you can still do the same kind

31
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:55.640
<v Speaker 2>of thing elsewhere with Instagram reels and even like even

32
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.319
<v Speaker 2>Twitter now or x. If you go to a video

33
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:01.680
<v Speaker 2>and you just leave it playing until the end, it

34
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:04.079
<v Speaker 2>actually just goes to a different video and you scroll

35
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:05.599
<v Speaker 2>through it. It's basically like an I don't know if

36
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.360
<v Speaker 2>the algorithm what makes TikTok so cool is that it

37
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:11.400
<v Speaker 2>quite literally understands what you want to see. Like that's

38
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:15.039
<v Speaker 2>how it keeps you because the algorithm knows you really well.

39
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.319
<v Speaker 2>It's almost as if maybe they've got like some chip

40
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:19.599
<v Speaker 2>planet in your brain or something like that. I say

41
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 2>that jokingly, but it is insane to me, Like I'll

42
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 2>think of a guy I haven't seen on TikTok in

43
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:27.439
<v Speaker 2>a while, and boom, I'm scrolling through and there he is.

44
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:31.199
<v Speaker 2>It's just crazy how that works. So anyways, I bring

45
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:33.479
<v Speaker 2>all this up because apparently both Trump and Biden are

46
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:37.639
<v Speaker 2>looking for ways to keep TikTok around. This is according

47
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:42.439
<v Speaker 2>to this is from Washington Post. It says President elect

48
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.159
<v Speaker 2>Trump is reportedly considering an executive order that would save

49
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.719
<v Speaker 2>TikTok from a ban or sale. The Washington Post reports

50
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 2>the order would suspend enforcement of the TikTok ban or

51
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 2>sale low or sale law for sixty to ninety days.

52
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:58.280
<v Speaker 2>So again, that was what I was thinking was best

53
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 2>case scenario, that they're just gonna keep kicking it down

54
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:05.599
<v Speaker 2>the road to see if they can figure something out.

55
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:08.240
<v Speaker 2>But I guess they've kind of already done that. I

56
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 2>feel like, I mean, this is it's been out there

57
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:12.879
<v Speaker 2>that we may lose TikTok in America for at least

58
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.240
<v Speaker 2>a year, I feel like, but I feel like some

59
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:17.120
<v Speaker 2>days the day unless they get this done.

60
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.719
<v Speaker 3>I feel like this also was a thing like during

61
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 3>Trump's last year, like in twenty twenty. As we're heading

62
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.280
<v Speaker 3>into twenty twenty one, that that was something he also

63
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:28.360
<v Speaker 3>wanted to ban. So I feel like that it's always

64
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 3>kind of been polluted out into the air, but the

65
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:35.080
<v Speaker 3>actual action just happened just you know, of them trying

66
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.639
<v Speaker 3>to facilitate and go through with it. Was just here

67
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Speaker 3>recently in the last year, but I remember that being

68
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:42.360
<v Speaker 3>a talking point during Trump's first presidency.

69
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, social media is really at a weird place right

70
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:48.240
<v Speaker 2>now because it's clearly still always going to be a

71
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.759
<v Speaker 2>big thing. But I don't know which platform is really

72
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:56.520
<v Speaker 2>in a good place. Like X is just a humongous

73
00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:01.319
<v Speaker 2>world of trolls and misinformation, but you know, entertaining and

74
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.840
<v Speaker 2>people star Boss Yeah, yeah, and that for a social

75
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.800
<v Speaker 2>media platform to be such a player in the game,

76
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 2>if you know what I'm saying, Like clearly it's one

77
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.319
<v Speaker 2>of the bigger ones out there, Twitter and X It's

78
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.240
<v Speaker 2>it's owned by Elon Musk. No platform has ever had

79
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.560
<v Speaker 2>this big of an issue with that, like the bot stuff,

80
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:19.959
<v Speaker 2>Like they have no way, Like people are able to

81
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.040
<v Speaker 2>create fake profiles in the masses in a way that

82
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.000
<v Speaker 2>that I've never seen anywhere else. I mean, it happens

83
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:27.720
<v Speaker 2>on Facebook, it happens everywhere, to be honest with you.

84
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:30.879
<v Speaker 2>But but with X it's been it's been worse than

85
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.279
<v Speaker 2>it's it's worse than I've ever seen anywhere. And then

86
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Facebook is awful right now, like Facebook and Instagram is

87
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.759
<v Speaker 2>just nothing, but it's something that ads like. You don't

88
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.040
<v Speaker 2>see any of the stuff you want to follow into me.

89
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.399
<v Speaker 2>The algorithm is not it's not all that legit. So

90
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.480
<v Speaker 2>TikTok I feel like is thriving. But again we may

91
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.680
<v Speaker 2>not have it after Sunday. So there you go. All right,

92
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:54.759
<v Speaker 2>it's coffee and company, five o'clock hour here on a

93
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.759
<v Speaker 2>Thursday afternoon. Appreciate you hanging out with us. Two hours

94
00:04:57.759 --> 00:04:59.240
<v Speaker 2>in the books. We've got one more to go, and

95
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.279
<v Speaker 2>I hope to finished strong as you could expect. We're

96
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.199
<v Speaker 2>still talking about how fun at least I am. I mean,

97
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:08.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure others are an agreement, but Louislle basketball this year, man,

98
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:10.680
<v Speaker 2>it's been a fun ride so far. And there are

99
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.800
<v Speaker 2>more and more signs that this team isn't just doing

100
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.959
<v Speaker 2>better than where we were the previous few seasons. They're

101
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.720
<v Speaker 2>not just you know, taking advantage of a down acc

102
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they are doing those things, but I think

103
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:27.120
<v Speaker 2>they're good. I think the way they're playing right now. Defensively,

104
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.839
<v Speaker 2>the consistency they have with the production again, different leading

105
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:34.720
<v Speaker 2>scorers at a high clip every night. I mean they

106
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:38.920
<v Speaker 2>are really really in a groove. And then when you

107
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.480
<v Speaker 2>have nights like Tuesday at Syracuse where you shoot the

108
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.040
<v Speaker 2>hell out of the ball, I mean that's when you're

109
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.920
<v Speaker 2>really dangerous when you get chucki Hebberg going what six

110
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.240
<v Speaker 2>of nine from three, I mean, an insane stat line.

111
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:55.879
<v Speaker 2>So I think this team is really really starting to

112
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.480
<v Speaker 2>show that they're not just making the most out of

113
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.040
<v Speaker 2>what they have. They got a chance to maybe get

114
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:04.160
<v Speaker 2>a decent seat and maybe win a few games in

115
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Speaker 2>this thing. I mean, you never know, right things could

116
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:08.720
<v Speaker 2>change and maybe they have a phenomenal finish and we

117
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:10.959
<v Speaker 2>get to the tournament and we realize, man, the ACC

118
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.920
<v Speaker 2>being weak really hurt us. Who knows, But all I

119
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.439
<v Speaker 2>know is I'm enjoying it as of right now. And

120
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.279
<v Speaker 2>some numbers I mentioned earlier that just kind of highlight

121
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.759
<v Speaker 2>how how well this group's playing right now. Rain Smith

122
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:26.920
<v Speaker 2>currently leads all Power five players in total three point

123
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 2>field goals made and three point field goals made per game.

124
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.040
<v Speaker 2>He's made sixty I'm sorry, sixty five to three pointers.

125
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.639
<v Speaker 2>So he's making three point six per game and shooting

126
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.759
<v Speaker 2>thirty nine percent. James Scott, he doesn't score whole lot

127
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:41.720
<v Speaker 2>of points, but when he does, how do they come? Dunks?

128
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.399
<v Speaker 2>He dunks the ball and he currently is sixth in

129
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:48.720
<v Speaker 2>the country in overall dunks as far as total and

130
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:52.759
<v Speaker 2>dunks per game. And as we referenced earlier, rain Smith

131
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:55.879
<v Speaker 2>right now would break Taekwon Dean's record for three point

132
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.319
<v Speaker 2>field goals made per game in a season if its

133
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.600
<v Speaker 2>season ended today. Going to be to maintain that that

134
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:04.199
<v Speaker 2>that number for rain Smith, but wouldn't be shocked if

135
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:08.600
<v Speaker 2>he does. Also James Scott, he won't break Montrez Harrol's

136
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:10.560
<v Speaker 2>record because I'm not sure anybody will, but as of

137
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:14.879
<v Speaker 2>right now, his dunks per game average would be third

138
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.480
<v Speaker 2>in school history. So again, those aren't things that like

139
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:19.839
<v Speaker 2>mean a whole lot as far as this team and

140
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:22.240
<v Speaker 2>how good they are. But we know Louisvill's had some

141
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:24.279
<v Speaker 2>really good players on some really good teams that have

142
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.240
<v Speaker 2>done some awesome things. There's some guys right now and

143
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:31.000
<v Speaker 2>play that are that are right there with them, and

144
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:33.600
<v Speaker 2>I know those teams that little you know a lot

145
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.279
<v Speaker 2>of those guys played on some great teams, but and

146
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:37.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how great this Louisville team is. What

147
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:40.920
<v Speaker 2>I do know is that as of right now, they've

148
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:44.079
<v Speaker 2>played a really tough schedule, right, the non conference portion

149
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:48.319
<v Speaker 2>of the schedule was loaded, And even if the ACC

150
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:51.439
<v Speaker 2>is down, which it is, you've played the toughest teams

151
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.399
<v Speaker 2>in the league already. So like, as of now, you've

152
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:55.720
<v Speaker 2>played a pretty damn tough schedule compared to everybody else.

153
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.279
<v Speaker 2>Now it'll get it'll get lighter throughout the rest of

154
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.079
<v Speaker 2>the season. Which again, that's that's that's what makes this

155
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:07.279
<v Speaker 2>whole thing awesome, meaning like they should continue to keep winning,

156
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.319
<v Speaker 2>and that's gonna be a lot of fun, a whole

157
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.439
<v Speaker 2>lot of fun. All Right, we'll get to the phone

158
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:14.399
<v Speaker 2>lines coming up here in just one second. I certainly

159
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.079
<v Speaker 2>want to make sure we discuss this Bill Belichick situation

160
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.079
<v Speaker 2>where maybe maybe he doesn't want to go to the

161
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:23.079
<v Speaker 2>college level. He didn't sign a contract. Obviously, there's some

162
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:25.920
<v Speaker 2>jobs open, one big job open the Dallas Cowboys, So

163
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:30.720
<v Speaker 2>I would not be shocked at all if this ends

164
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:32.480
<v Speaker 2>up falling apart, because I'll go back to the day

165
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:36.879
<v Speaker 2>that Belichick decided to pursue the Carolina job, and he

166
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:39.600
<v Speaker 2>got hired. This just doesn't make any sense to me,

167
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Like I'll believe it when I see it. Even when

168
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:44.279
<v Speaker 2>it was reported he was at a press conference it

169
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:47.240
<v Speaker 2>was official. I still find it unbelievable that he's going

170
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:51.279
<v Speaker 2>to coach college football, where the game is clearly a

171
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:56.000
<v Speaker 2>lot different now than it's ever been. And I just

172
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:59.879
<v Speaker 2>feel like Belichick's style of coaching in every way is

173
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.799
<v Speaker 2>such a non fit right now with the NFL and

174
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:04.879
<v Speaker 2>in college. I mean, he's not going to be able

175
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:07.639
<v Speaker 2>to just be a grouchy boss and yell at people

176
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.919
<v Speaker 2>and be miserable like that. That won't work anymore. But

177
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:14.200
<v Speaker 2>as of now, he's still the coach at Carolina, I

178
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.799
<v Speaker 2>guess technically, but again, he doesn't have a contract. It's

179
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.879
<v Speaker 2>it's odd, all right, Babo. Two five is the number

180
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:22.679
<v Speaker 2>if you want to give us a call, and we

181
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:25.120
<v Speaker 2>will now welcome in Steve. Steve, how are we doing?

182
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:26.360
<v Speaker 4>Good?

183
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:26.840
<v Speaker 5>Afternoon?

184
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:27.080
<v Speaker 4>Nick?

185
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:27.720
<v Speaker 5>How are you today?

186
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:27.960
<v Speaker 4>Good?

187
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:28.200
<v Speaker 6>Well?

188
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:31.639
<v Speaker 5>Listen a couple of quick points. I think that Bill

189
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:34.159
<v Speaker 5>Belichick won't go to the Cowboys. I just think he

190
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:37.559
<v Speaker 5>and Jerry Jones would probably last about fifteen minutes together.

191
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:40.480
<v Speaker 4>You're probably right, but I don't know a lot you

192
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:40.840
<v Speaker 4>go there.

193
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:45.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, my main reason for calling is to ask you,

194
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:49.320
<v Speaker 5>since you have your fingers on the pulse of Louisville

195
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:54.240
<v Speaker 5>the football team, why do you think Jeff bram has

196
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:57.559
<v Speaker 5>decided Apparently I could be wrong, but decided to keep

197
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:02.360
<v Speaker 5>Ron English. It's question given the last couple of games

198
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:04.600
<v Speaker 5>of the season and the amount of points and yarready

199
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:09.159
<v Speaker 5>that Washington State dropped on them, I just what is

200
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.879
<v Speaker 5>your what are your thoughts on that situation?

201
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Steve, I'll say this, I think Jeff is taking

202
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:19.000
<v Speaker 2>a big risk here because you've seen it play out

203
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:23.559
<v Speaker 2>in two seasons where the defense one just wasn't consistent

204
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:25.000
<v Speaker 2>in the first year and this year they were a

205
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:28.240
<v Speaker 2>big problem. They were a liability. And I've Ron English

206
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:32.159
<v Speaker 2>hasn't done enough good to where you feel like there's

207
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.600
<v Speaker 2>a really high ceiling there. And I can't prove this,

208
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:36.399
<v Speaker 2>It's just my opinion. I believe that when the def

209
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:38.000
<v Speaker 2>the players are always going to be held accountable to

210
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:39.159
<v Speaker 2>an extent, but I feel like some of the big

211
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.480
<v Speaker 2>issues Lowell's defense has had in the last couple of years,

212
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:43.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's been because they didn't have players

213
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:45.039
<v Speaker 2>that were good enough. I think it's because of how

214
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:47.519
<v Speaker 2>they were led, maybe a bad strategy, bad game plan,

215
00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:50.799
<v Speaker 2>miscommunication just I mean, heck, there's been mass confusion out there,

216
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:53.559
<v Speaker 2>so the defense as a whole. The numbers like they've

217
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:56.519
<v Speaker 2>they're not great, but it's not a number that would

218
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:58.399
<v Speaker 2>be like a fireable offense. And a lot of times

219
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:00.519
<v Speaker 2>when you win ten games and then you win nine,

220
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:03.440
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't expect to be making changes at the coordinator position.

221
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.200
<v Speaker 2>But I worry that next year's offense is going to

222
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.480
<v Speaker 2>be so good, but we're gonna find out that they

223
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:12.159
<v Speaker 2>got to score forty two or more because the defense

224
00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:15.600
<v Speaker 2>may just again they're just inconsistent. They've had games where

225
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:16.799
<v Speaker 2>they do come out ready to play and they do

226
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:18.879
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good job, but then you see just the

227
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:21.799
<v Speaker 2>exact opposite the next week, which again it's always going

228
00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:23.080
<v Speaker 2>to be on the players to an extent, but when

229
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:26.519
<v Speaker 2>you have that kind of inconsistent inconsistency, I think that's

230
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.759
<v Speaker 2>the coach. I just I don't know what Jeff would

231
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.159
<v Speaker 2>lose by getting rid of Ron English. You could certainly

232
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.399
<v Speaker 2>do worse, but I don't know if you feel good

233
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:35.639
<v Speaker 2>about the ceiling with him leading you on defense. I

234
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.679
<v Speaker 2>think louis has had some good defensive players the last

235
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:40.240
<v Speaker 2>couple of years and we just haven't got the results

236
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:41.000
<v Speaker 2>that you would expect.

237
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.159
<v Speaker 5>Right, Okay, Nick, I appreciate it.

238
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:44.799
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much.

239
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.279
<v Speaker 2>Take care of Steve. Yeah, I mean, I don't want

240
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:51.000
<v Speaker 2>to pick on Ron English, but I just I mean,

241
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:57.360
<v Speaker 2>it's not even about he's got to go because of

242
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:03.320
<v Speaker 2>one specific stat, one specific game, one specific moment. It's

243
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:06.399
<v Speaker 2>just I think in two years time, and Jeff worked

244
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:08.399
<v Speaker 2>with him ye for years at Purdue as well. I

245
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:09.639
<v Speaker 2>don't know how. I think it might have been two

246
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:14.919
<v Speaker 2>years that he worked with him there, and we've discussed

247
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:18.919
<v Speaker 2>around English as his resume here. I mean, he was

248
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:23.679
<v Speaker 2>a DC at Michigan for two years, became a big name,

249
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:27.080
<v Speaker 2>came to Louisville for one year with Cragthorpe, then he

250
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:29.559
<v Speaker 2>became a head coach, was at Eastern Michigan for a while,

251
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.960
<v Speaker 2>in fact, five years, and he was awful. One of

252
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:36.559
<v Speaker 2>the worst records you'll see for a coach who coached

253
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:40.200
<v Speaker 2>five years of FBS football. He was eleven and forty six,

254
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:44.039
<v Speaker 2>seven and thirty in league play. So he actually had

255
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:46.440
<v Speaker 2>some issues on his way out as far as some

256
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:51.399
<v Speaker 2>allegations about, you know, not being nice to players or whatnot.

257
00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:54.519
<v Speaker 2>So he ended up not coaching for a little while.

258
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:56.600
<v Speaker 2>In fact, he didn't coach for looks like three years,

259
00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:58.679
<v Speaker 2>and then he became a d C at San Jose

260
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.879
<v Speaker 2>State for a year, Mississippi State as the safety's coach,

261
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:04.759
<v Speaker 2>Florida's the safety's coach for a few years. So I

262
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:08.240
<v Speaker 2>mean since his Michigan, since Eastern Michigan when he was

263
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.440
<v Speaker 2>a head coach. I mean, he didn't have any great jobs,

264
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.799
<v Speaker 2>and you know, he went from DC to position coach

265
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:15.639
<v Speaker 2>and then he kept moving around, which is not always

266
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:17.600
<v Speaker 2>a great Usually those are guys that are really big

267
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:20.159
<v Speaker 2>recruiters for you that do that. So he ends up

268
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:23.120
<v Speaker 2>being the co DC and defensive backs coach for Jeff

269
00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:26.440
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty one. So in twenty twenty one and

270
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:30.320
<v Speaker 2>then in twenty twenty two, their defense improved, so Jeff said, Okay,

271
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:33.879
<v Speaker 2>this is working, he's got he's got it rolling. Let's

272
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:36.360
<v Speaker 2>bring him with me to Louisville. And the beginning of

273
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:39.080
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three, they were really good defensively, right that

274
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:40.759
<v Speaker 2>it was a team that was that was where they

275
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:44.559
<v Speaker 2>were mostly due to defense rather than offense and then

276
00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:47.720
<v Speaker 2>it kind of fell apart and then this year they

277
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:51.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean it just like you can make mistakes, you

278
00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:53.159
<v Speaker 2>can a coach can have a bad day and a

279
00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:56.759
<v Speaker 2>bad game plan and not expect to lose his job.

280
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Like they're not perfect. But I just think it's such

281
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.039
<v Speaker 2>a risk because again, you should feel pretty good about

282
00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:08.840
<v Speaker 2>your offense being able to score points next year, and

283
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.320
<v Speaker 2>you know that your defense shouldn't have to, you know,

284
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:14.519
<v Speaker 2>be the steel curtain out there, right, But I think

285
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:18.320
<v Speaker 2>the inconsistency and at times when they're bad, like it

286
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.799
<v Speaker 2>just it really is bad. I mean that Stanford game.

287
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:23.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I know Miami was a high powered offense,

288
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:25.399
<v Speaker 2>so maybe that's not a good example, but like there

289
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:28.039
<v Speaker 2>were there was arm tackling going on against SMU. They

290
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.639
<v Speaker 2>just had a terrible game plan and then then made

291
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:35.240
<v Speaker 2>some adjustments. But you know, even then you still had

292
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:38.320
<v Speaker 2>mass confusion, too many guys on the field. So it's

293
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:39.960
<v Speaker 2>kind of tricky because I don't think you could just

294
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:43.240
<v Speaker 2>look at numbers and data and results and say, oh yeah,

295
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.320
<v Speaker 2>no brainer, they should move on from him. I just

296
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.720
<v Speaker 2>think you kind of know what you have and continuing

297
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:50.759
<v Speaker 2>to keep it around. Again, this is I think this

298
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:52.000
<v Speaker 2>is one of the first things I said on the

299
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.519
<v Speaker 2>postgame show once they ended up surviving that game against

300
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:57.879
<v Speaker 2>Washington and the Sun Bowl, is that if we find

301
00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:01.000
<v Speaker 2>ourselves in a situation next year just like that where

302
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.600
<v Speaker 2>we're thinking, oh my goodness, what is happening. The defense

303
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:05.600
<v Speaker 2>is crumbling, We're gonna lose this, We're gonna blow it.

304
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.840
<v Speaker 2>If that same situation is there again next year, I

305
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:14.919
<v Speaker 2>kind of feel like all fans will take their frustration

306
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:20.159
<v Speaker 2>and anger out on Brahm and not run English because

307
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:21.799
<v Speaker 2>like we kind of know that's what he does. That's

308
00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:23.759
<v Speaker 2>we kind of know who he is. And yet Jeff

309
00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:27.039
<v Speaker 2>still keeps him around, so you know, Jeff trusts him,

310
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:31.799
<v Speaker 2>and I hope it works out. But I'm not super

311
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:34.279
<v Speaker 2>confident that the defense next year will be you know,

312
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:37.000
<v Speaker 2>good enough, I mean good enough. And look, they don't

313
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.399
<v Speaker 2>have to be great. They just need to be reliable

314
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:43.720
<v Speaker 2>and they need to be consistent. And I think that's

315
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:47.919
<v Speaker 2>that's that's the two areas where I worry the most.

316

321
00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:06.000
<v Speaker 2>think about Mayor Greenberg showing up and sitting behind the

322
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:09.080
<v Speaker 2>UK bench at Rupp Arena. He's the mayor of Louisville,

323
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:15.639
<v Speaker 2>not Lexington. I did see that. Uh in fact, some

324
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:17.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if somebody was trying to do a

325
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:21.799
<v Speaker 2>I gotcha moment. But and by the way, Craig is

326
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:24.639
<v Speaker 2>Craig Kreg Greenberg is a big Louisville fan. He's he's

327
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:27.879
<v Speaker 2>uel alum. He loves the cards and I can tell

328
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:31.559
<v Speaker 2>you that firsthand. And and why he was at the

329
00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:32.759
<v Speaker 2>UK game, man, I don't know.

330
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:34.559
<v Speaker 6>Nor fellow co star on Netflix.

331
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:36.919
<v Speaker 2>That's right, that's right. Yeah, we had a big We're

332
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:39.679
<v Speaker 2>big big featured very much so in that uh that

333
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Netflix special. But somebody posted a picture like somebody took

334
00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:46.399
<v Speaker 2>a picture of their TV during the A and M

335
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:51.039
<v Speaker 2>and Kentucky game and you can see, uh, Mayor Greenberg

336
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:53.159
<v Speaker 2>and his lovely wife Rachel right there behind the bench

337
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:55.480
<v Speaker 2>watching the game. And I don't know, I didn't see

338
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.279
<v Speaker 2>on his social media if he was promoting that he

339
00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:59.080
<v Speaker 2>was there, would certainly make sense that he would not,

340
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:00.919
<v Speaker 2>but I don't know that he was also trying to

341
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:05.799
<v Speaker 2>hide it. But somebody shared it and he he shared there.

342
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:08.000
<v Speaker 2>He shared their tweet kind of I guess, you know,

343
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:09.759
<v Speaker 2>calling him out that he was there and said one

344
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:14.240
<v Speaker 2>night only and then hashtag go cards. So look this

345
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.359
<v Speaker 2>UF people are really bothered by this. I can't say

346
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:19.240
<v Speaker 2>that I'm like totally shocked because we care about this

347
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:21.519
<v Speaker 2>kind of stuff. We're sick os when it comes to

348
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:24.599
<v Speaker 2>the rivalry, right and there's kind of a rivalry with

349
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:26.400
<v Speaker 2>the city of Louisville and the rest of the state

350
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:28.599
<v Speaker 2>is they're not I've never really been able to relate

351
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:30.480
<v Speaker 2>to that because I actually I'm a weirdo. I love the

352
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:34.039
<v Speaker 2>state of Kentucky. That's where my's my heritage, It's where

353
00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:36.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm from. I think there's I mean, I know, we

354
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:39.079
<v Speaker 2>get a bad rap for you know, good reason at

355
00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:41.119
<v Speaker 2>times as far as a reputation, but man, this state

356
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:43.400
<v Speaker 2>is special. I love it. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

357
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:46.359
<v Speaker 2>But you know, when it comes to UK, no, I'm out.

358
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:48.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm a Louisville fan and I live in Louisville. My

359
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:50.359
<v Speaker 2>address has been Louisville for you know, the majority of

360
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:52.839
<v Speaker 2>my life, so I don't. For me, it's just about

361
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:54.680
<v Speaker 2>like UK because of the rivalry and sports, but for

362
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:58.559
<v Speaker 2>others it's not right. Like you know, there are there

363
00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:03.200
<v Speaker 2>were certain cities that were part of some kind of

364
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:07.279
<v Speaker 2>a study. This was years ago, but it didn't shock me. There,

365
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:12.720
<v Speaker 2>like Louisville had many people, like the percentage of people

366
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:15.279
<v Speaker 2>that live in Louisville, that if they could, they would

367
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:17.680
<v Speaker 2>remove Louisville from the state of Kentucky and put it

368
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:20.200
<v Speaker 2>in a different state or have it be its own state,

369
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:22.440
<v Speaker 2>because that's how much they don't like the state of Kentucky.

370
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:25.160
<v Speaker 2>So and I don't know if it was like a

371
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:27.960
<v Speaker 2>two way street in both, but it was an interesting

372
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:29.759
<v Speaker 2>read from a few years back. And I also didn't

373
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:33.240
<v Speaker 2>realize that the state of Illinois so badly does not

374
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:36.240
<v Speaker 2>want to claim Chicago in any way. I don't really

375
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:38.400
<v Speaker 2>know why, other than maybe you know. I mean, I'm

376
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:41.279
<v Speaker 2>sure there's a variety of reasons for that, but yeah,

377
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I get it. The rivalry is are real thing. So

378
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:47.519
<v Speaker 2>if you are bothered by that, I'm not at all

379
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:50.200
<v Speaker 2>can't relate, but I guess I can't say that I'm surprised,

380
00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:52.640
<v Speaker 2>But you also have to keep in mind, he's the mayor,

381
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.559
<v Speaker 2>he's a politician. He absolutely is a big time Louisville fan,

382
00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:00.839
<v Speaker 2>went to school there. I mean, he's he is Louisville

383
00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:03.440
<v Speaker 2>all the way. What do they say, he's black and

384
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.720
<v Speaker 2>red till he's dead. Mayor Greenberg is, but he also

385
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:11.240
<v Speaker 2>is the mayor of a city that has a ton

386
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:14.880
<v Speaker 2>of Kentucky fans. I mean, I don't know what the

387
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:17.559
<v Speaker 2>actual breakdown is. We'll never know for sure. There was

388
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:19.559
<v Speaker 2>a study done many many, many years ago. I think

389
00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:23.480
<v Speaker 2>it was like Courier Journal Eric Crawford days there, because

390
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:25.119
<v Speaker 2>I believe he's the one who. I don't know if

391
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:28.519
<v Speaker 2>it was a very popular article, column, whatever, it was,

392
00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:30.880
<v Speaker 2>just because it gave us some kind of a reference

393
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:33.240
<v Speaker 2>point of what the percentage is as far as people

394
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.279
<v Speaker 2>in Louisville, Kentucky fans are Louisville fans, and at the

395
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:38.839
<v Speaker 2>time it was slightly Louisville I believe, which I could

396
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:42.839
<v Speaker 2>believe that, but I think Louisville fans, not all of them,

397
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:46.079
<v Speaker 2>but some of them, they don't. They refuse to believe

398
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:48.000
<v Speaker 2>that there are as many Kentucky fans in Louisville as there is.

399
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.200
<v Speaker 2>They're everywhere man, Like there's a gazillion of them seemingly

400
00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:53.799
<v Speaker 2>across the planet, and there's a lot of them here.

401
00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:56.079
<v Speaker 2>And again I always say, that's why this rivalry is

402
00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:00.400
<v Speaker 2>so great here in Louisville. So because of that, like,

403
00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.119
<v Speaker 2>he can't be anti UK in Louisville because again, the

404
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:05.559
<v Speaker 2>city of Louisville likes he's gonna have to be pro

405
00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:07.720
<v Speaker 2>cars over the Cats, and he does that, and it's

406
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:12.640
<v Speaker 2>clearly his view. But even if he hated Kentucky, he

407
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:16.079
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't he wouldn't be wise to say that, because you know,

408
00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:21.279
<v Speaker 2>he's a politician. That's you know. So it works, all right,

409
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:22.640
<v Speaker 2>quick break, we'll come back on the other side. I

410
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:24.640
<v Speaker 2>get to more of your phone calls and texts as

411
00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:27.200
<v Speaker 2>we keep this thing rolling along. It's coffee and company feel.

412
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:28.599
<v Speaker 2>But Thornton's on Sports Talk seven.

413
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:32.319
<v Speaker 1>Ninety now back to coffee and Company fueled by Thornton's

414
00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:34.440
<v Speaker 1>on Sports Talk seven nine day.

415
00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:39.240
<v Speaker 2>So Bill Belichick, as we now know it, did not

416
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:41.680
<v Speaker 2>sign a contractor has not sign a contract yet at

417
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:45.119
<v Speaker 2>North Carolina despite accepting the job a few weeks ago.

418
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:49.559
<v Speaker 2>And it sounds like this is not uncommon in college.

419
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:52.599
<v Speaker 2>But I don't I mean, is that true? Not signing

420
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:55.680
<v Speaker 2>a contract. But it says here, this is from CBS Sports,

421
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:58.440
<v Speaker 2>that this issue does introduce a great area as to

422
00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:00.640
<v Speaker 2>how much, if any, of the ten million buy out

423
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:03.160
<v Speaker 2>would be paid if he does leave for the NFL.

424
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:06.559
<v Speaker 2>So this could just be a strategic move on Bill's

425
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:08.920
<v Speaker 2>part that says, look, I'm if I do get an

426
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:12.240
<v Speaker 2>offer from the NFL, I didn't sign anything, so therefore

427
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:16.200
<v Speaker 2>I can just go without anything in writing. They I mean,

428
00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:20.960
<v Speaker 2>but but isn't that the agreement of employment? Like you

429
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:24.839
<v Speaker 2>you agree that you're gonna be our coach, and here's

430
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:26.720
<v Speaker 2>what we're gonna pay you. And then there's also a

431
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:28.799
<v Speaker 2>lot of things within the deal that are part of

432
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:30.839
<v Speaker 2>the arrangement in the situation, and one of those is

433
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.200
<v Speaker 2>that you have to pay ten million dollars if you leave,

434
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:36.000
<v Speaker 2>because that's that's the job we're gonna pay you. We're

435
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:39.039
<v Speaker 2>covering our ass a little bit here by making sure

436
00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:41.319
<v Speaker 2>we'll get ten million from somebody if you bolt on us.

437
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:43.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, So what is this. I'm just taking his word

438
00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:44.079
<v Speaker 6>for it.

439
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:47.680
<v Speaker 2>I guess. I mean, but like he's like that that's

440
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:50.759
<v Speaker 2>not a mistake, you know what I mean, Like, that's not, oh, well,

441
00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:53.640
<v Speaker 2>forgot to sign it. Like there's clearly he's like Bill

442
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Belichick is doing this to leave an option open for him.

443
00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:58.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure there's no other reason why he wouldn't sign it.

444
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:01.759
<v Speaker 2>But two things are going to happen. He'll sign it

445
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:07.759
<v Speaker 2>or they'll probably force the issue. And if he doesn't

446
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:09.519
<v Speaker 2>sign it, like maybe maybe he isn't going to be

447
00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:11.880
<v Speaker 2>their coach because they're they're idiots if they let this

448
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:16.799
<v Speaker 2>ride right like you, I mean, because he could I

449
00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:19.119
<v Speaker 2>mean technically, right now, he could leave and nobody pay

450
00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:22.480
<v Speaker 2>anything and next year maybe he has one really good

451
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:24.440
<v Speaker 2>season at North Carolina. Although I don't know when you

452
00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:27.480
<v Speaker 2>when you, But again, maybe that's why you put that

453
00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:32.160
<v Speaker 2>ten million dollar buyout in there, because you realize, man,

454
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:34.880
<v Speaker 2>this guy may not even be here that long. He's eighty.

455
00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:37.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's not that old, but he's old, and

456
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.079
<v Speaker 2>he may just be using us to get another opportunity

457
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:45.359
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL. Well, we'll bring him on knowing all

458
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:48.480
<v Speaker 2>those things, but with some protection here a ten million

459
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:51.759
<v Speaker 2>dollar buyout. But if he hadn't signed it, then, I mean,

460
00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I guess there's really nothing set in stone. Like I

461
00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:56.200
<v Speaker 2>think they were stupid for hiring him anyway, to be

462
00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:01.960
<v Speaker 2>honest with you, but they decided to do it, and

463
00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:05.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't see a scenario where this is like a

464
00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:08.039
<v Speaker 2>good thing, like long term. But I've been wrong many

465
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:10.759
<v Speaker 2>times before. Maybe I'll be wrong about that. All right,

466
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Before we get to the phone lines, I have to

467
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:14.279
<v Speaker 2>share with you one of my one of my favorite

468
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:16.680
<v Speaker 2>moments so far in the college basketball season that I'm

469
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:18.960
<v Speaker 2>sure none of you were aware of or care about.

470
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:22.359
<v Speaker 2>But this is hilarious to me. This is one of

471
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:25.559
<v Speaker 2>those things that just makes college sports different and fun.

472
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:31.240
<v Speaker 2>So Maine the Main the Main Bears. I think it's

473
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:33.079
<v Speaker 2>the main Block. There's the Main Black Bears. I think

474
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:34.960
<v Speaker 2>that's the name of their mascot. They are a Division

475
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:36.759
<v Speaker 2>I school. I think they're in like the Northeast Concert

476
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:40.079
<v Speaker 2>in North Northeast Conference. But uh, they played a game

477
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:43.480
<v Speaker 2>today against in j I T. Austin. Putting you on

478
00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:45.039
<v Speaker 2>the spot, can you tell me the name of the

479
00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:47.839
<v Speaker 2>school that is in j I T. What does it

480
00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:48.279
<v Speaker 2>stand for?

481
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:51.960
<v Speaker 6>Let me guess, New Jersey Instrument of Technology.

482
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:54.319
<v Speaker 2>Institution of Technology. Yes, and you got it? Oh, good job,

483
00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:57.319
<v Speaker 2>got it. It sounds the top of this dome right now,

484
00:23:57.359 --> 00:23:59.640
<v Speaker 2>what's the what's the movie with Justin Long where they

485
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:02.319
<v Speaker 2>make up college. It's like when Jonah Hill first becomes

486
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:05.920
<v Speaker 2>is it called accepted? I think it's called accepted?

487
00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:07.960
<v Speaker 6>I think so, yeah, the fake college.

488
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:10.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the fake college. That sounds like like I don't

489
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:12.559
<v Speaker 2>know what it was called. I'm gonna look it up.

490
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:15.279
<v Speaker 2>Accepted name, accepted college name? Movie?

491
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:15.880
<v Speaker 6>What was it?

492
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:18.920
<v Speaker 2>What was it called? It was the South Harriman Institute

493
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:20.960
<v Speaker 2>of Technology. So this is the uh, this is the

494
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:23.160
<v Speaker 2>New Jersey instrode Technology, which is again a real school.

495
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:27.599
<v Speaker 2>So they played a college basketball game today, like already

496
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:30.720
<v Speaker 2>it's over, So I'm sure this is part of like

497
00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:33.720
<v Speaker 2>the way they have to hustle to keep the lights

498
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:35.400
<v Speaker 2>on at a place like that. But what they did

499
00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:38.640
<v Speaker 2>is they had a bring the kids to the game

500
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:42.559
<v Speaker 2>like field trip. So these two teams played Maine and

501
00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:46.039
<v Speaker 2>n J played earlier today and a really close game,

502
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:52.119
<v Speaker 2>and the only people that were there were school kids.

503
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:55.079
<v Speaker 2>Different schools brought buses, so it was a field trip

504
00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:57.519
<v Speaker 2>for the local schools. And honestly, it's not a terrible

505
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:01.039
<v Speaker 2>idea if I'm being honest, because I mean, minor league

506
00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:03.440
<v Speaker 2>teams do stuff like this all the time. The low

507
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:05.720
<v Speaker 2>level colleges that need people to show up to their

508
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:08.079
<v Speaker 2>games and buy tickets, Like you got to get creative,

509
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:11.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean in a major way. So they might have,

510
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:14.279
<v Speaker 2>in all honesty, had one of their bigger crowds just

511
00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:16.400
<v Speaker 2>because there's a bunch of kids there. I mean, how

512
00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:18.119
<v Speaker 2>many people you think are showing up to a main

513
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.160
<v Speaker 2>NJ game on a random Wednesday night. Probably not many,

514
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:25.319
<v Speaker 2>but there's a bunch of busses full of kids. So

515
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:28.200
<v Speaker 2>I bring this up because of this. It was a

516
00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:31.160
<v Speaker 2>big time, big time finish here. This is the This

517
00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:32.920
<v Speaker 2>is the last play, or at least one of the

518
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:35.720
<v Speaker 2>last plays. Never the backboard five o'clock open for three

519
00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:36.640
<v Speaker 2>on the rebound, got it?

520
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:42.559
<v Speaker 6>And that's Lopez unless you have the shush to the crowd.

521
00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:44.759
<v Speaker 2>So the reason I bring this up is because the

522
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:47.599
<v Speaker 2>guy calling the game is not there. He's calling it

523
00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:50.079
<v Speaker 2>from zoom, which isn't that uncommon anymore in broadcasting, But

524
00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:52.799
<v Speaker 2>like they don't even they don't even like hide that anymore,

525
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Like ESPN. This is on ESPN Plus, they just got

526
00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:58.799
<v Speaker 2>like a webcam up with a score bug and there's

527
00:25:58.839 --> 00:26:01.720
<v Speaker 2>this guy in the corner on a camera like not

528
00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:03.759
<v Speaker 2>in the shot, but like he's on his think of

529
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:05.799
<v Speaker 2>a zoom window. When you're on a zoom call. That's

530
00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:08.119
<v Speaker 2>how they're calling the game. That's the level we're talking about.

531
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:11.400
<v Speaker 2>But think about what he just said there. He just

532
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:14.960
<v Speaker 2>shushed the crowd. Yes, mains aj Lopez hit a big

533
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:18.200
<v Speaker 2>three to beat in j I T and then shush

534
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:23.000
<v Speaker 2>the entire crowd made up entirely of school children on

535
00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:23.839
<v Speaker 2>a field trip.

536
00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:29.160
<v Speaker 3>Fantam just talking a bunch of eight year olds.

537
00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:33.440
<v Speaker 6>Hope give to the crowd.

538
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:44.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's great, isn't it. That's fantastic, And there's

539
00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:47.640
<v Speaker 2>no scenario a minute left into the game that he

540
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:52.720
<v Speaker 2>didn't realize that that everybody they're watching is a young child,

541
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Like I kind of love it.

542
00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Man.

543
00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:57.240
<v Speaker 2>You show up, you show up in my domain where

544
00:26:57.319 --> 00:26:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I go to work. This is what you're gonna get.

545
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:02.559
<v Speaker 3>Just to think it's probably like a bunch of Fortnite

546
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:05.279
<v Speaker 3>robots playing kids that are just like trolling you.

547
00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:07.279
<v Speaker 6>And he's just like so bent up about it.

548
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:09.599
<v Speaker 2>He's got to, yeah, call their mom and tell him

549
00:27:09.640 --> 00:27:11.119
<v Speaker 2>to come pick him up if they need to go home,

550
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:13.720
<v Speaker 2>because because this is this is what we do here

551
00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:18.880
<v Speaker 2>at at Maine. Actually Maine went into n J I

552
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:21.480
<v Speaker 2>t I wouldn't expect a kind of energy from Maine.

553
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:23.720
<v Speaker 2>When I think Maine, I think Cooper flag now and

554
00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:28.279
<v Speaker 2>I think cold and happy people. I don't know, Maine

555
00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:30.079
<v Speaker 2>seems like a nice state. I feel like people would

556
00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:30.599
<v Speaker 2>be nice for May.

557
00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:33.599
<v Speaker 3>Maybe I'm a very forgotten state. Not trying to jab

558
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:36.359
<v Speaker 3>at anyone from Maine, but it's like it's I answered

559
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:38.319
<v Speaker 3>a there is like a trivia question when I went

560
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:41.079
<v Speaker 3>to trivia last week and the answer was Maine. And

561
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:44.880
<v Speaker 3>I just thought of literally every other Northeast state, but like,

562
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:46.359
<v Speaker 3>I just miss Maine.

563
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:51.279
<v Speaker 2>What do you think are the most like obscure states? Maine's,

564
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Maine's certainly up there, just because it's literally up there

565
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:54.119
<v Speaker 2>on its.

566
00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:57.759
<v Speaker 3>Own, and Maryland maybe because that's right around like New

567
00:27:57.839 --> 00:27:59.480
<v Speaker 3>York and like Rhode Island.

568
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:00.920
<v Speaker 6>It's like now a place that you really.

569
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:04.400
<v Speaker 2>See see those like Vermont, Rhode Island, those real small states.

570
00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Vermont certainly very like Vermont's one you'll just forget, like

571
00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:10.240
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, Like if you're listing them

572
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:13.160
<v Speaker 2>all and you're and you're missing a few, and you

573
00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:15.200
<v Speaker 2>got a reference and figure out which ones you can't

574
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:15.519
<v Speaker 2>think of?

575
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:15.960
<v Speaker 6>Vermont.

576
00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Vermont's probably in there. Yeah, any any any state that

577
00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:25.200
<v Speaker 2>has two versions of it, you easily remember, like North Dakota,

578
00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:28.759
<v Speaker 2>South Dakota, North Carolina, South Carolina, Delaware, it's like a,

579
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:33.400
<v Speaker 2>yeah's honestly, Delaware may be Delaware is ahead of A

580
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:36.640
<v Speaker 2>is ahead of Vermont. Really, I would say so, because

581
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:39.200
<v Speaker 2>because Delaware I can't think of. I cannot tell you

582
00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:41.720
<v Speaker 2>a single thing about And maybe that maybe just because

583
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:44.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm a dumb ass, but like, who knows anything about Delaware?

584
00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:47.559
<v Speaker 2>I know I don't, And I think when you're a

585
00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:49.839
<v Speaker 2>smaller state, which I'm not even sure how small Delaware is,

586
00:28:50.359 --> 00:28:54.759
<v Speaker 2>but like those small states are easy to forget. I

587
00:28:54.839 --> 00:28:57.119
<v Speaker 2>don't think you know, people spend a whole lot of

588
00:28:57.160 --> 00:28:59.920
<v Speaker 2>time traveling to the Dakotas or to like why Own,

589
00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:03.720
<v Speaker 2>But like those states are those states are humongous as

590
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:07.119
<v Speaker 2>far as size. So therefore, you know, you know that

591
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:09.200
<v Speaker 2>that little area where all the small states on the

592
00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:12.400
<v Speaker 2>northeast are like, it's it's very easy to forget those places.

593
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:13.960
<v Speaker 2>But I'm sure they're beautiful. I'm sure they are.

594
00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:17.160
<v Speaker 3>I was driving through Philadelphia last year when me and

595
00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:19.440
<v Speaker 3>Billy went to WrestleMania, and I guess it's a little

596
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:24.000
<v Speaker 3>bit north of Philadelphia. But you see like Delaware like whatever,

597
00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:27.039
<v Speaker 3>thousand whatever, one hundred miles away like in the next exit,

598
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:30.000
<v Speaker 3>and it just it just occurred to me, Delaware forgot

599
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:30.319
<v Speaker 3>that that.

600
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:30.880
<v Speaker 6>Was a state.

601
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm not that literally is exactly what just happened

602
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:36.400
<v Speaker 2>with you when you mentioned Delaware. I'm like, oh, wait

603
00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:39.440
<v Speaker 2>a second, is that that is a state? Right? Like

604
00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:41.839
<v Speaker 2>I forgot it existed? But yes, it is in fact

605
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:42.240
<v Speaker 2>the state?

606
00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:42.640
<v Speaker 4>All right?

607
00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:44.559
<v Speaker 2>Five two if I have seven one seventy nine hundred

608
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:45.720
<v Speaker 2>is the number if you want to jump in and

609
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:47.559
<v Speaker 2>give us a phone call, and we will go back

610
00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:49.920
<v Speaker 2>to the phone lines now and welcome in AC. How

611
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:50.440
<v Speaker 2>are you AC?

612
00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:53.519
<v Speaker 4>I'm good, I'm thinking so much for my call.

613
00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:55.279
<v Speaker 2>What's happening?

614
00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:58.480
<v Speaker 4>Yes? I want to talk about a label Cardinals, because

615
00:29:58.440 --> 00:30:00.759
<v Speaker 4>you talked about probably like twenty min twenty five minutes

616
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:03.279
<v Speaker 4>talk about the Cardinals football. Can I chime on? Can

617
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:06.680
<v Speaker 4>I chime in? Okay, here's the thing about your Cardinals,

618
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:10.039
<v Speaker 4>including Kentucky Walcott. How embarrassing. I need to talk about

619
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:13.160
<v Speaker 4>the bad defense? How embarrassing? This is what I found.

620
00:30:13.559 --> 00:30:17.279
<v Speaker 4>It's so embarrassing. SMU went to the playoffs then you

621
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:20.200
<v Speaker 4>had Arizona State. Matter of fact, these are the two

622
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:24.400
<v Speaker 4>teams who make their debut that on their respective conference.

623
00:30:24.759 --> 00:30:28.240
<v Speaker 4>How embarrassing that Louisville did not even make it? But

624
00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:31.680
<v Speaker 4>check this out. How embarrassing is that Indiana Hoosiers they

625
00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:34.640
<v Speaker 4>made it to the playoffs, but Kentucky and Louisville they

626
00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:37.759
<v Speaker 4>never did. So I think you know how people talk

627
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:42.599
<v Speaker 4>about Ryo. People should scrutinize Ryan Day, what's his name,

628
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:45.680
<v Speaker 4>Kirby Smart, the big time coaches. I think you should

629
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:49.200
<v Speaker 4>put Jeff brim and what's his name? Stoops in that

630
00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:53.759
<v Speaker 4>category too. You get millions of dollars and you cannot produce.

631
00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:57.960
<v Speaker 4>And now it's not fourteen playoffs, it's twelve teen playoffs.

632
00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:00.480
<v Speaker 4>So sure I'll get them at press this he's done.

633
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:02.079
<v Speaker 4>What's your excuse me?

634
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:05.519
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for the call, AC. I appreciate a lot,

635
00:31:05.559 --> 00:31:11.200
<v Speaker 2>A lot to unpack there, my man. I really don't

636
00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:15.759
<v Speaker 2>know where where we were going there. I know SMU

637
00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:18.599
<v Speaker 2>making it to the So is it embarrassing? Who is

638
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:21.240
<v Speaker 2>it embarrassing for that SMU made it? I guess Louisville

639
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:26.519
<v Speaker 2>in Arizona State. That I a lot to unpack there,

640
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:31.039
<v Speaker 2>But uh yeah, I would say Jeff Brohm's going to

641
00:31:31.079 --> 00:31:33.599
<v Speaker 2>get a pass from fans for not making the playoff

642
00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:38.119
<v Speaker 2>in his second season as the coach, but maybe I'm wrong.

643
00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:41.279
<v Speaker 3>Also got a text from our guy in sales, Joe.

644
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:43.519
<v Speaker 3>He said, Vermont is the home of Ben and Jerry's.

645
00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:44.799
<v Speaker 2>Shout out Ben and Jerry.

646
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:46.319
<v Speaker 6>If you like ice cream, there you go.

647
00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I wouldn't have remembered that, but now that Joe

648
00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:54.039
<v Speaker 2>has informed us, I'm that's when That'll be the one

649
00:31:54.079 --> 00:31:55.759
<v Speaker 2>thing I think of when I think of Vermont now

650
00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:58.799
<v Speaker 2>is they got Ben and Jerry's. In fact, our man,

651
00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:02.720
<v Speaker 2>the company man, John Olden, he recently went on vacation,

652
00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:04.200
<v Speaker 2>I guess towards the end of the summer, and I

653
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:06.240
<v Speaker 2>think he might have went to Vermont.

654
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:08.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm pretty sure it was because he's doing the thing

655
00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:11.319
<v Speaker 3>with his wife where they go to a random place everything,

656
00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:14.319
<v Speaker 3>and that's awesome. Yeah, I think that's a great idea.

657
00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:16.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what it is about a road trip

658
00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:19.440
<v Speaker 2>where I don't know where I'm going that makes it

659
00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:22.119
<v Speaker 2>a lot of fun. Like there's certain places cities that

660
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:24.680
<v Speaker 2>obviously I love and I go to as much as

661
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:26.240
<v Speaker 2>I can because I enjoy them, and I know what

662
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:30.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting into. I've been there before. But the spontaneousness

663
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:35.079
<v Speaker 2>of hitting the road and ending up in a place

664
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:36.839
<v Speaker 2>you didn't expect you to be because you just kind

665
00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:38.640
<v Speaker 2>of stopped for the night and you ended up having

666
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:41.319
<v Speaker 2>fun or just going to a play shoot you didn't

667
00:32:41.319 --> 00:32:44.359
<v Speaker 2>have any expectation for. So I'll give you an example this.

668
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:48.079
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing I can sell you on why this place

669
00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:49.880
<v Speaker 2>is great, and I'm not really sure that it is.

670
00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:52.640
<v Speaker 2>But when LOUISLL played in the NAA Tournament the last time,

671
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:56.599
<v Speaker 2>which was in twenty nineteen, Yeah, twenty nineteen, they were

672
00:32:56.599 --> 00:32:59.640
<v Speaker 2>in the first round matchup against Minnesota, and the game

673
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:03.200
<v Speaker 2>was played in Des Moines, Iowa. And I'd never I

674
00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:05.880
<v Speaker 2>knew nothing about Iowa, knew nothing about Des Moines, Iowa.

675
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:08.400
<v Speaker 2>I had no expectation. I guess, if anything, maybe low

676
00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:10.640
<v Speaker 2>expectation because I'm just thinking, like I have no clue

677
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:12.240
<v Speaker 2>what to expect. It can't be that great because I

678
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:14.160
<v Speaker 2>don't hear a lot of people saying they're going to Iowa.

679
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:17.480
<v Speaker 2>But I made the trip, and I think because the

680
00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:20.039
<v Speaker 2>bar was low and I had no clue what to expect,

681
00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Like I ended up exploring, having some fun, pretty good

682
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:26.759
<v Speaker 2>bar scene there, so you know, don't want to mislead

683
00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:30.279
<v Speaker 2>you like I'm some crazy partier that's just stopping anywhere

684
00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:33.000
<v Speaker 2>and taking over a town. But there is something awesome,

685
00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:35.319
<v Speaker 2>like what I wanted to do when I turned thirty

686
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:37.400
<v Speaker 2>and I'm only thirty seven this summer. We talked about

687
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:39.039
<v Speaker 2>this a lot on the show at the time, which

688
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:40.759
<v Speaker 2>is crazy to think it's been that long, But on

689
00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:44.559
<v Speaker 2>my thirtieth birthday, I wanted to rent a car and

690
00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:48.079
<v Speaker 2>drive across the country and then fly back and just

691
00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:52.079
<v Speaker 2>not really have a whole lot of planning, right like

692
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:53.799
<v Speaker 2>I'll know in the vicinity of where I want to

693
00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:55.799
<v Speaker 2>get to one day, stop in this city, stop in

694
00:33:55.839 --> 00:33:57.359
<v Speaker 2>that place. But I just wanted to go on a

695
00:33:57.359 --> 00:33:59.880
<v Speaker 2>long road trip that lasted many many days as I

696
00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:03.640
<v Speaker 2>trek across the country and at that time, like I

697
00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:07.200
<v Speaker 2>would have never done it by myself ever, and my wife,

698
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:10.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, she's she's great, but she she kind of

699
00:34:11.159 --> 00:34:13.039
<v Speaker 2>she kind of talked me out of doing it and

700
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:14.920
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't do it with me and then told me that

701
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:16.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, it wouldn't be safe for me to do it,

702
00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:18.760
<v Speaker 2>and then she just booked us a trip somewhere else

703
00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:21.880
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, oh, okay, well that's fine. But now

704
00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:25.119
<v Speaker 2>that I'm older, when I turn forty, if I haven't

705
00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:27.119
<v Speaker 2>done it yet, I'm gonna do it then. And she's

706
00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:29.280
<v Speaker 2>either with me or she's not. And we're gonna hit

707
00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:31.239
<v Speaker 2>the road and we're gonna have We're gonna and who knows,

708
00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:34.039
<v Speaker 2>maybe I go north John or or Austin. Maybe I

709
00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:36.800
<v Speaker 2>go north and lay my hat in Vermont or Delaware.

710
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, maybe that's maybe that's where I end up

711
00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:41.400
<v Speaker 2>somewhere like that could be. Maybe maybe I hid all

712
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:42.280
<v Speaker 2>the way up to Maine.

713
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:43.000
<v Speaker 6>All that.

714
00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:45.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's technically the mains the head of the

715
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:47.280
<v Speaker 3>United States, right when you think of.

716
00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, the most northern part for sure. Yeah, there

717
00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:50.360
<v Speaker 2>you go. Good stuff.

718
00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:50.960
<v Speaker 6>That's pretty cool.

719
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:52.800
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's take our last break. We'll come back

720
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:55.119
<v Speaker 2>here on the other side and we will finish strong.

721
00:34:55.360 --> 00:34:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Certainly some more to get into, including some high school

722
00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:01.039
<v Speaker 2>sports news, which we rarely talk about. But there's some

723
00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:03.400
<v Speaker 2>teams here locally that are going to be switching districts,

724
00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:07.360
<v Speaker 2>which reminds me that they changed that stuff all the time,

725
00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:10.760
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know why. Also, there was apparently some

726
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:14.360
<v Speaker 2>meeting today in Lexington, which with the KHSAA Julian tack

727
00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:17.679
<v Speaker 2>At the Commissioner. He talked about the transfer issue that

728
00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:20.159
<v Speaker 2>is going on in high school. Yes, it's an issue.

729
00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:23.320
<v Speaker 2>There's not a portal, but transferring is an issue in

730
00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:25.719
<v Speaker 2>the high school levels as well, and it's mostly due

731
00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:29.039
<v Speaker 2>to athletics. And I mean, I know people don't like it,

732
00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:32.400
<v Speaker 2>but kids should be able to go if kids should

733
00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:35.079
<v Speaker 2>be able to move and play wherever they want their kids.

734
00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:37.719
<v Speaker 2>Quick break it's Coffee and Company fuel about Thornt's on

735
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Sports Talk seven.

736
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:47.599
<v Speaker 1>Ninety Now back to coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's

737

<v Speaker 1>on Sports Talk seven nine day.

738
00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:58.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't find myself oftentimes being desperate to play devil's

739
00:35:58.639 --> 00:36:00.800
<v Speaker 2>advocate and go against the grain, but I do feel

740
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:02.639
<v Speaker 2>like this is one of those things that I am

741
00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:06.199
<v Speaker 2>I am in the minority on when it comes to transfer,

742
00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:08.519
<v Speaker 2>not just for college kids but high school kids too.

743
00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:14.119
<v Speaker 2>So the portal is clearly it's chaotic, and you you know,

744
00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:17.480
<v Speaker 2>they should have a little bit more regulation as far

745
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:20.039
<v Speaker 2>as what it is like you shouldn't be able to

746
00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:24.039
<v Speaker 2>transfer mid season, like there should be more rules, but

747
00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:28.679
<v Speaker 2>the overall ability to be able to decide where you

748
00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:30.760
<v Speaker 2>want to play, you should be able to do that

749
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:34.039
<v Speaker 2>and not be penalized by losing a year of eligibility

750
00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:37.000
<v Speaker 2>and sitting out or really sitting out at all. Like

751
00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:42.440
<v Speaker 2>that shouldn't be a thing because these are students right now. Again,

752
00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:44.159
<v Speaker 2>it's all going to change, and it already has. But

753
00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:46.239
<v Speaker 2>I mean, technically, even whenever they're going to be getting

754
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:49.679
<v Speaker 2>rev share, which they start next year, college athletes will

755
00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:52.039
<v Speaker 2>share revenue with the university they play for, they're still

756
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:55.119
<v Speaker 2>not going to be considered employees. But what I'm getting

757
00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:58.599
<v Speaker 2>at is if Johnny and the Band or Bobby in

758
00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:02.519
<v Speaker 2>the Debate Club wanted to switch schools, you think they're

759
00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:07.400
<v Speaker 2>gonna make them sit out. No, the reason that that rules,

760
00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:12.000
<v Speaker 2>those rules have ever existed is because of competition. But

761
00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:16.559
<v Speaker 2>it should be consistent, Like there's why because a team

762
00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:19.039
<v Speaker 2>may lose their best player, you shouldn't be able to

763
00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:21.840
<v Speaker 2>go play elsewhere. Like it just doesn't make any sense,

764
00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:24.599
<v Speaker 2>but it's always been that way, Like people are real

765
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:26.920
<v Speaker 2>adamant about. There's so many Like the reason I'm bringing

766
00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:29.679
<v Speaker 2>this up is because today Julian Tack at the KHSAA

767
00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:34.559
<v Speaker 2>Commissioner and you mentioned there where a total of Yeah,

768
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:37.679
<v Speaker 2>KJSA Commissioner Julian Attacket. This is from Jason Franks of

769
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:39.440
<v Speaker 2>the Courier Journal. He says the Julian Tacking says the

770
00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:41.519
<v Speaker 2>number of transfers are up over last year, with eight

771
00:37:41.599 --> 00:37:45.239
<v Speaker 2>hundred and twenty seven transfers processed already during this school year,

772
00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:48.920
<v Speaker 2>which of course is just midway through, so not a surprise.

773
00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:51.360
<v Speaker 2>But a lot of it is because of athletics. And

774
00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:54.320
<v Speaker 2>you shouldn't be able to go to school at a

775
00:37:54.360 --> 00:37:57.079
<v Speaker 2>place where you don't live, like that's illegal actually, But

776
00:37:57.159 --> 00:38:01.760
<v Speaker 2>if your parents move and you you move to play

777
00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:03.519
<v Speaker 2>at a school because you just simply want to go

778
00:38:03.519 --> 00:38:06.119
<v Speaker 2>there and play basketball, they should not tell you that

779
00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:08.880
<v Speaker 2>you have to sit out. And there's other I mean,

780
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:12.599
<v Speaker 2>and what's happened with KHS Double A over the years

781
00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:15.000
<v Speaker 2>is what's happening with the NABA Now. I know a

782
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:19.559
<v Speaker 2>lot of kids that have been able to just hire

783
00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:22.199
<v Speaker 2>a lawyer in the Nuba caves and let the or

784
00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:24.000
<v Speaker 2>in the KHS DOUBLEA caves and lets them do whatever

785
00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:25.360
<v Speaker 2>they're trying to do because they know they don't have

786
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:27.840
<v Speaker 2>a legal right to tell them that they can't do that.

787
00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:31.320
<v Speaker 2>So just like you know, there's some similarities there, so

788
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:35.519
<v Speaker 2>it is, you know, prop like kids who transfer in

789
00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:38.320
<v Speaker 2>high school. I'd say there's a not all of them,

790
00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:41.679
<v Speaker 2>but I'd say it's more likely that in high school

791
00:38:41.719 --> 00:38:44.960
<v Speaker 2>you're transferring because you're having a hard time realizing that

792
00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:47.079
<v Speaker 2>you're not as good as you thought you'd be, or

793
00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:49.480
<v Speaker 2>that you know you're not your parents you know aren't

794
00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:51.800
<v Speaker 2>aren't aware that you're not a star, and you're transferring

795
00:38:51.800 --> 00:38:53.679
<v Speaker 2>because you're not getting enough playing time and you're coming

796
00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:56.119
<v Speaker 2>off the bench or something like that. That clearly happens

797
00:38:56.119 --> 00:38:58.559
<v Speaker 2>in the college level as well, but I'm sure some

798
00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:00.559
<v Speaker 2>transfers from the high school r for doing it to

799
00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:02.239
<v Speaker 2>because they want to play for a better program. But

800
00:39:03.320 --> 00:39:05.440
<v Speaker 2>I think now you probably see a ton of transfers

801
00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:08.119
<v Speaker 2>because mommy and daddy think that the coach is picking

802
00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:10.719
<v Speaker 2>on him by not having them in the starting line

803
00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:12.760
<v Speaker 2>or something like that, or not being the starting quarterback.

804
00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:15.000
<v Speaker 2>So it's probably something that in the end it's going

805
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:17.280
<v Speaker 2>to be a regret later in life. But it still

806
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:21.639
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean people shouldn't be able to do it. But yeah,

807
00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:25.159
<v Speaker 2>it's become a real thing to where you've got even

808
00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:29.239
<v Speaker 2>in Louisville here, I know there are high school kids

809
00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:31.760
<v Speaker 2>that are notable because they are some of the better

810
00:39:31.800 --> 00:39:33.639
<v Speaker 2>players in the city of Louisville and obviously have some

811
00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:36.119
<v Speaker 2>college interest. And you know, it's not uncommon to know

812
00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:39.559
<v Speaker 2>of a guy that played and had a really good year,

813
00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:42.559
<v Speaker 2>a really good career high school wise in this area

814
00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:44.199
<v Speaker 2>and he played for two or three different schools. I mean,

815
00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:47.159
<v Speaker 2>that's not super common, but it's also not that uncommon

816
00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:51.079
<v Speaker 2>anymore either where you went to school Austin and Arizona,

817
00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:54.679
<v Speaker 2>did they like what was your like? Were you all like,

818
00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:56.719
<v Speaker 2>was it one school in the county? Were you part

819
00:39:56.719 --> 00:39:58.920
<v Speaker 2>of a big school system? I guess you could call

820
00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:00.880
<v Speaker 2>it a big school as to an.

821
00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:04.280
<v Speaker 3>Extent the TUSD Tuson Unified School disc gotcha.

822
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:08.880
<v Speaker 2>So the reason ask is because they're reshuffling the districts,

823
00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:11.159
<v Speaker 2>like some schools are moving from one district to another.

824
00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:15.400
<v Speaker 2>They're remapping it, I guess. And it's got a local

825
00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:18.559
<v Speaker 2>tie to me here because the twenty third district now

826
00:40:18.599 --> 00:40:23.119
<v Speaker 2>includes Bullet Central, North, Bullet Southern, and more, which is

827
00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:26.239
<v Speaker 2>that that's the district North Bullets and but they've added

828
00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:29.039
<v Speaker 2>Bullet East and now evangel is going to the twenty

829
00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:33.519
<v Speaker 2>fourth district, which is Dubois Academy, evangel Christian Fern Creek, Jaytown, Mercy,

830
00:40:33.519 --> 00:40:36.960
<v Speaker 2>and Whitfield Academy. So I'm sure nobody cares or thinks

831
00:40:36.960 --> 00:40:39.639
<v Speaker 2>about this at all, But for years I think it

832
00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:43.000
<v Speaker 2>might have been right after I graduated high school, not

833
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:45.199
<v Speaker 2>all the Bullet County schools have been in the same district,

834
00:40:45.239 --> 00:40:47.599
<v Speaker 2>which makes no sense at all. Like, again, you probably

835
00:40:47.639 --> 00:40:49.679
<v Speaker 2>don't aren't real familiar with the area out there, but

836
00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:53.480
<v Speaker 2>there can't be many many schools out there that are

837
00:40:54.159 --> 00:40:57.199
<v Speaker 2>sharing a county but not in the same district. And

838
00:40:57.239 --> 00:40:58.679
<v Speaker 2>they've never really known what to do with the Bullet

839
00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:01.079
<v Speaker 2>County schools. Are they Louisville? Are they fifth region? They

840
00:41:01.079 --> 00:41:04.360
<v Speaker 2>were eighth region for a long time. But I think

841
00:41:04.360 --> 00:41:06.599
<v Speaker 2>it makes more sense to have all the county schools

842
00:41:06.760 --> 00:41:08.480
<v Speaker 2>in the UH in the same district. And now they're

843
00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:10.199
<v Speaker 2>doing it once again. I feel like these schools have

844
00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:12.320
<v Speaker 2>moved around a ton. All right, we're out of time.

845
00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:13.679
<v Speaker 2>Talk to you tomorrow.

846
00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:19.199
<v Speaker 6>Mm hmmmm mmmmmmmmmmm.
