00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven to nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.

3
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure it gets much better than this. We

4
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:39.119
<v Speaker 2>are fresh off very exciting NFL opener last night, not

5
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.600
<v Speaker 2>the result I wanted. But if you just take away

6
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.840
<v Speaker 2>a rooting interest, rather it be because you're a fan

7
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:48.560
<v Speaker 2>of Lamar Jackson and the Ravens like myself, maybe you're

8
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:50.799
<v Speaker 2>a Chiefs fan, or maybe you just were rooting for

9
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.200
<v Speaker 2>your wager to hit. You take all that out and

10
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:56.159
<v Speaker 2>you just consider how entertaining the game was in the finish.

11
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean it, it was one of those nights where

12
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>you do think to your subway second, how could the NFL,

13
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:07.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, have this matchup play out the way?

14
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:07.959
<v Speaker 3>You know?

15
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:10.159
<v Speaker 2>You couldn't have scripted it any better as far as

16
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.159
<v Speaker 2>it being down to the wire, to the last second

17
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.799
<v Speaker 2>where Lamar Jackson and is it makes a great play

18
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:20.239
<v Speaker 2>to seemingly tie the game up, only to find out

19
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:23.120
<v Speaker 2>that his receiver had his toe on the line. Michigan

20
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:25.000
<v Speaker 2>was the right call. So a great night last night,

21
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.280
<v Speaker 2>other than, of course, the result, but a good game.

22
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Note nonetheless, we've got NFL tonight on a Friday. Some

23
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.480
<v Speaker 2>other college football games. A loaded slate of games tomorrow,

24
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.040
<v Speaker 2>including Louisville Jacksonville State, which, hey, probably won't be an

25
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.000
<v Speaker 2>exciting game, but it should be another beat down. That's

26
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>what you want. That's all you can hope for in

27
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 2>games like this, and then our first NFL Sunday. Again,

28
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:48.200
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't get much better than this. The only thing

29
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:49.400
<v Speaker 2>that could make this better is if I had a

30
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 2>cold beard in my hand right now. But that's frowned

31
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.719
<v Speaker 2>upon it. You can't drink on the job. Thanks a lot, Biden.

32
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm at Trump. Yeah, Trump would be okay, I'm kidding,

33
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:01.760
<v Speaker 2>I should even as we get this close to the election,

34
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>I shoudn't even joke about anything when it comes to

35
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:03.959
<v Speaker 2>that stuff.

36
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:07.519
<v Speaker 4>Especially people, that's the first thing they hear them they

37
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:08.159
<v Speaker 4>turn on the radio.

38
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:11.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, both sides, by the way have have has shown

39
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.199
<v Speaker 2>you know how gullible they can be, because you know,

40
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:17.800
<v Speaker 2>all it takes is one little joke, me being sarcastic

41
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:19.360
<v Speaker 2>or just you know, making a joke.

42
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 3>And you know those that.

43
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.159
<v Speaker 2>Are radicals, as they say, on the radical left of

44
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.000
<v Speaker 2>the radical right, they'll they'll chime in and you know,

45
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 2>let me have it about how dumb I am when

46
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.039
<v Speaker 2>I was just making a joke, because I do think,

47
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:37.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, especially before Biden stepped down, whenever there was

48
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:42.639
<v Speaker 2>the the debate where you had Biden talk about porn

49
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:44.960
<v Speaker 2>star and the alley Cat, you got the morals of

50
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.400
<v Speaker 2>an alley cat. I mean like that, That's the ultimate

51
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.199
<v Speaker 2>moment in my lifetime that I can think of in

52
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.439
<v Speaker 2>politics where no matter what side you're on, if you're

53
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:58.280
<v Speaker 2>a hardcore Democrat or a hardcore Republican, like you have

54
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.159
<v Speaker 2>to all just look at each other and think, like, mat,

55
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:01.639
<v Speaker 2>are we really is this happening?

56
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:02.280
<v Speaker 3>Is this real?

57
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, I'm fired up five o'clock here on a

58
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.639
<v Speaker 2>Friday afternoon and getting you set for a loaded weekend

59
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.599
<v Speaker 2>that I kind of feel has already started, and we're

60
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna take you up till six o'clock. Let's go back

61
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.919
<v Speaker 2>to last night again. I was on the edge of

62
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.639
<v Speaker 2>my seat watching that game, honestly from start to finish.

63
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.360
<v Speaker 2>And it's just another reminder that because of my love

64
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.319
<v Speaker 2>for Lamar Jackson, I mean, I'm not in love with him.

65
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm a married man, and I'm sure he's

66
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 2>got interest elsewhere, But I am a big Lamar fan

67
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:33.439
<v Speaker 2>want to see him do well, and he's already done

68
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 2>very well in his NFL career, but beating Patrick Mahomes

69
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.240
<v Speaker 2>is something he's only done once. And right now, the

70
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:40.199
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs and Mahomes, they are on top of the NFL.

71
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:42.639
<v Speaker 2>And it would have been so huge for the Ravens

72
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>to start the season off last night with a monumental

73
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.159
<v Speaker 2>victory and they came up short.

74
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:49.800
<v Speaker 3>And I'm not.

75
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:51.599
<v Speaker 2>Blaming it on the officials, because you know, that's what

76
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.199
<v Speaker 2>losers do. Because even though the officiating was I think

77
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 2>one sided at times and really just inexcusable when it

78
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.360
<v Speaker 2>comes to the countless illegal formation penalties that were called.

79
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:04.639
<v Speaker 2>And yet if you go side by side and look

80
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:08.319
<v Speaker 2>at the same thing that the Chiefs are doing, they're

81
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.520
<v Speaker 2>not getting called for it. You know, the assistant coach

82
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:13.599
<v Speaker 2>Steve Spagnolia for the Chiefs being able to call a

83
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.479
<v Speaker 2>time out when you clearly can't do that and you

84
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.279
<v Speaker 2>were supposed to be flagged for doing it, and they

85
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:21.639
<v Speaker 2>didn't call a flag. I mean, that's not why they won.

86
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.319
<v Speaker 2>But like you know, right now, the Chiefs are on top,

87
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:28.879
<v Speaker 2>and I think when you are on a run like

88
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:33.519
<v Speaker 2>this as a franchise, meaning not only the success the

89
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:37.199
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowls, but like everything else going on the face

90
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.040
<v Speaker 2>of the league is Patrick Mahomes. I mean, I mean

91
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 2>he right now is in the midst of a run

92
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.399
<v Speaker 2>that may end up being the best run we've ever

93
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.360
<v Speaker 2>seen from anybody in the NFL at the quarterback position.

94
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.279
<v Speaker 2>And that's including Tom Brady. To be honest with you,

95
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.959
<v Speaker 2>Pat Mahome's still young. You've got Andy Reid, who obviously

96
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.720
<v Speaker 2>is a hell of a coach, Travis Kelcey probably one

97
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.160
<v Speaker 2>of the best tight ends of all time, and yet

98
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.240
<v Speaker 2>he's dating the most famous celebrity on the planet. Like,

99
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.000
<v Speaker 2>right now, the Chiefs are on top, and I think

100
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:09.160
<v Speaker 2>referees probably aren't. I mean, I don't think they're in

101
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.319
<v Speaker 2>the bag for Kansas City. Like I'm gonna try to

102
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:13.360
<v Speaker 2>explain myself as best I can without making it sound

103
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.439
<v Speaker 2>as if I'm truly thinking that refs are cheating for

104
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.639
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City. But you know what refs are their human beings,

105
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.079
<v Speaker 2>and the human element is a powerful thing that is

106
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:23.240
<v Speaker 2>unavoidable in sports. And I just think that they're gonna

107
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:27.120
<v Speaker 2>be less prone to throw certain penalties on the Chiefs

108
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.079
<v Speaker 2>than they would other teams. Not because they're fans of

109
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.600
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs, but like, let's be real, why do you

110
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:35.839
<v Speaker 2>think when you're at home you get a favorable whistle

111
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.360
<v Speaker 2>compared to when you're on the road. Because refs are human,

112
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:41.040
<v Speaker 2>they know they need to call it the right way,

113
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:43.600
<v Speaker 2>but like they're not perfect, they're gonna make mistakes and

114
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 2>their instincts. Again, the human element that I refer to

115
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:48.720
<v Speaker 2>is going to be a powerful thing to where they

116
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:50.800
<v Speaker 2>know that if they make a call against the home

117
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:55.560
<v Speaker 2>team that's questionable, they're gonna get booed off the floor

118
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:57.319
<v Speaker 2>and they're not supposed to care about that, and I'm

119
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:59.759
<v Speaker 2>sure they don't, but again, the human element is a

120
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:01.519
<v Speaker 2>powerful things. So the hell with the reps and the

121
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.319
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City Chiefs? After last night? John pissed off?

122
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.879
<v Speaker 3>Get me fired? No, I just I thought I was

123
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:09.240
<v Speaker 3>over it.

124
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.759
<v Speaker 2>Now we're resetting it, and I just you know, those

125
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:13.759
<v Speaker 2>done illegal formation penalties.

126
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it doesn't seem like it was a bit

127
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.120
<v Speaker 4>overdone after hearing describe it, because it makes it makes

128
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:22.120
<v Speaker 4>sense for it to happen once, maybe twice, but then

129
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.480
<v Speaker 4>to have it be so just kind of out in

130
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:26.920
<v Speaker 4>the open, and then even the announcers reacting the way

131
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:28.800
<v Speaker 4>that they did as often as they did, it doesn't

132
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.319
<v Speaker 4>It does make it seem shady, even if there wasn't

133
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:32.639
<v Speaker 4>anything underlying about it.

134
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:33.560
<v Speaker 3>It's the best way to put it.

135
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Some shady stuff going on with the Kansas City Chiefs

136
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 2>Tonight again a rare NFL Friday night game, but I'm

137
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 2>here for it. I wouldn't be mad if they gave

138
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:43.839
<v Speaker 2>us a Friday night game every week. They're not going

139
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:47.680
<v Speaker 2>to do it, understandably, so, but we've got the Packers

140
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:52.000
<v Speaker 2>and the Eagles should be a competitive game. Right now.

141
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:56.519
<v Speaker 2>It is Philadelphia minus two. It opened up at minus

142
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:57.720
<v Speaker 2>one and a half, so there's not been a whole

143
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.399
<v Speaker 2>lot of movement here. And as far as what people

144
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:04.600
<v Speaker 2>are wagering right now, fifty five percent of the money

145
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:06.279
<v Speaker 2>is on the Eagles to cover.

146
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:08.319
<v Speaker 3>So that's really close.

147
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:10.759
<v Speaker 2>That's as close as I've seen when it comes to

148
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.199
<v Speaker 2>just you know, the money that is being uh, that

149
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.160
<v Speaker 2>is being wagered when it comes to the spread in

150
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.279
<v Speaker 2>this game. As far as money line, UH, sixty two

151
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:19.600
<v Speaker 2>percent of the money's on the Eagles.

152
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

153
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:21.879
<v Speaker 2>And then if you are somebody that likes to do

154
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 2>over unders, the total is set at forty nine and

155
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.399
<v Speaker 2>a half and uh seventy percent of the money has

156
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:30.839
<v Speaker 2>come in on that to go over. I have not

157
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.439
<v Speaker 2>touched an over under yet. Are you you you hit?

158
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:34.560
<v Speaker 2>You did last week, didn't you.

159
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:36.959
<v Speaker 4>I bet on the over in Indiana FIU and that

160
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:38.079
<v Speaker 4>did not hit unfortunately.

161
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:42.959
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yeah, I don't mind. Like it's a it's a

162
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.360
<v Speaker 2>really different betting experience watching a game when you've only

163
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:48.319
<v Speaker 2>touched the total, you know what I mean.

164
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:50.360
<v Speaker 4>I'll say this though, I think I mentioned this to

165
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.279
<v Speaker 4>you before. The under in Iowa games last year. I

166
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:55.560
<v Speaker 4>don't know how much it'll be be good for you

167
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 4>this year, but that was one of my most constant

168
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:01.000
<v Speaker 4>wins last year was those unders and those Iowa football games.

169
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

170
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:04.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you would see how low they could set it,

171
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:06.399
<v Speaker 2>and you would wait till Saturday to see if Iowa

172
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:08.839
<v Speaker 2>can do the unthinkable and actually once again hit it under,

173
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:09.680
<v Speaker 2>and they would.

174
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

175
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:12.240
<v Speaker 3>I want to get to that game later.

176
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:13.639
<v Speaker 2>I know we talked about it a little bit earlier

177
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.439
<v Speaker 2>this week, but the Iowa Iowa State matchup, I feel like,

178
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.920
<v Speaker 2>just when it comes to those that are really into

179
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:20.839
<v Speaker 2>the sports gambling space, I feel like, of all the

180
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:22.959
<v Speaker 2>matchups this weekend, there's a lot of people talking about

181
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:24.199
<v Speaker 2>this one, so we'll get to that a little bit

182
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:26.920
<v Speaker 2>later on. But with Louisville and Jacksonville State tomorrow, the

183
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.920
<v Speaker 2>cards are twenty eight and a half point favorites. We

184
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:32.759
<v Speaker 2>mentioned it earlier, a lot of the money, in fact,

185
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.919
<v Speaker 2>ninety eight percent of the money that has come in

186
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:38.759
<v Speaker 2>on this game, I'm sorry, ninety five percent is on

187
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Louisville to cover as twenty eight and a half point favorites.

188
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.879
<v Speaker 2>This thing's had a lot of movement opened up at

189
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Louisville minus twenty and a half. Now it's Louisville minus

190
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:48.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight and a half, so again, a lot of

191
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:51.639
<v Speaker 2>movement there. No real surprise Louisville was dominant against Austin

192
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:56.720
<v Speaker 2>p and Jacksonville State. You know, they're relatively new to FBS.

193
00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:01.000
<v Speaker 2>They have had two nine win seasons in the Rich

194
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Rod era. And in our conversation we had earlier in

195
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:06.360
<v Speaker 2>the show with one of the beat writers for al

196
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:09.639
<v Speaker 2>dot com who joined us to discuss tomorrow's matchup, and

197
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.600
<v Speaker 2>really not the matchup specifically. We did talk a little

198
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.440
<v Speaker 2>bit about that, but it was more so just about

199
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, Jacksonville State sort of their program rich Rodriguez.

200
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:18.559
<v Speaker 2>The fact that he's there is kind of unusual given

201
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:20.240
<v Speaker 2>where he was twenty years ago when he brought West

202
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Virginia in here as a top five team. But in

203
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:27.840
<v Speaker 2>a conversation with Thomas Ashworth, I didn't feel this, But

204
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.200
<v Speaker 2>I will say when I say feel this, I didn't

205
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:32.039
<v Speaker 2>feel like, oh, maybe I'm overlooking this team. But there's

206
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:33.399
<v Speaker 2>a few people in the text line that have said

207
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:35.960
<v Speaker 2>that they think I'm overlooking this Jacksonville State team a

208
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.279
<v Speaker 2>little bit. And you know, maybe you're right, because I'll

209
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:40.639
<v Speaker 2>be honest with you, I didn't realize they had back

210
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:41.919
<v Speaker 2>to back none win seasons.

211
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:43.480
<v Speaker 3>But again, like I can't.

212
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:45.200
<v Speaker 2>This is where I think I'm a little bit different

213
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:49.039
<v Speaker 2>than other fans, and it's probably an issue of mine.

214
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:50.200
<v Speaker 3>It's probably to a fault.

215
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:55.080
<v Speaker 2>I have real expectations for Lowell, meaning I think they

216
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.480
<v Speaker 2>can compete and potentially find themselves in Charlotte again to

217
00:09:57.519 --> 00:09:59.799
<v Speaker 2>play for the a SEC Championship. I feel better about

218
00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:01.279
<v Speaker 2>that now that I did two weeks ago. And it's

219
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.519
<v Speaker 2>not only because louisll look good against Austin p because

220
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.759
<v Speaker 2>of the rest of the ACC However, you know, like,

221
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:11.519
<v Speaker 2>if I think that Louisville is as good as you know.

222
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:14.759
<v Speaker 3>If Louisville's remotely.

223
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:15.759
<v Speaker 2>Close to the team that I think they can be,

224
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:17.919
<v Speaker 2>and I think that they are, I don't care if

225
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Jacksonville State's won eleven games the last two seasons, Like,

226
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:23.000
<v Speaker 2>you should take care of business and beat this team

227
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:24.519
<v Speaker 2>pretty bad. Are you going to beat him sixty two

228
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:27.039
<v Speaker 2>to nothing? Maybe not, but if you do, I'm not

229
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:30.639
<v Speaker 2>going to be surprised. And somebody on the text line

230
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:32.360
<v Speaker 2>made a point that I hadn't thought of, but I

231
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.080
<v Speaker 2>kind of like where you're going with this. It's that

232
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Jeff browm knows the coach he's going up against is

233
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:42.039
<v Speaker 2>well respected as a football coach. I mean Rich Rod

234
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:45.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, let's be real, Rich Rodriguez was really good.

235
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Like if he never left West Virginia, I mean, he

236
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.080
<v Speaker 2>would have been there for a long long time. And

237
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:52.480
<v Speaker 2>you know that just doesn't happen. Coaches don't stay at

238
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:55.759
<v Speaker 2>college is that long really ever, and especially in the

239
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:58.080
<v Speaker 2>last fifteen twenty years, the shelf life for a coach

240
00:10:58.159 --> 00:10:59.120
<v Speaker 2>is just it's.

241
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:01.200
<v Speaker 3>Just not what it once was. But he's a good coach.

242
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Like everything that's happened with Rich Rod as far as

243
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:07.960
<v Speaker 2>you know how he ended up at Jacksonville State really

244
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.120
<v Speaker 2>has nothing to do with his ability to coach. I mean,

245
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:11.600
<v Speaker 2>he was sensational at West Virginia.

246
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:13.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean he won.

247
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Let's see, he had four straight seasons with ten or

248
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:23.360
<v Speaker 2>more wins, including he won the Sugar Bowl, he won

249
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:27.919
<v Speaker 2>the Gator Bowl. They lost i think in the Fiesta Bowl.

250
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.120
<v Speaker 2>So like he had a hell of a run there

251
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.200
<v Speaker 2>and then at Michigan. Clearly you know that didn't work out,

252
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:38.200
<v Speaker 2>but Michigan at that time had an identity crisis. Michigan

253
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:42.799
<v Speaker 2>went from coach Carr to rich Rod, and he wasn't good.

254
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:44.600
<v Speaker 2>He went three to nine in his first year, then

255
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:46.759
<v Speaker 2>five and seven and then seven and six. But like

256
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:49.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, I think a lot of coaches in that

257
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:51.720
<v Speaker 2>time would have struggled to win at Michigan. I mean, hell,

258
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Michigan struggled to find a competent coach for a while

259
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:57.480
<v Speaker 2>until they got Harball, and even Harball didn't win at

260
00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:00.480
<v Speaker 2>the level they're expected and to until he got Connor's Alliance.

261
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:03.279
<v Speaker 2>So at Arizona, a place that's pretty tough to win,

262
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:06.720
<v Speaker 2>he was good there. I mean forty three and thirty

263
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:09.360
<v Speaker 2>five is not you know, elite but he had a

264
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:12.360
<v Speaker 2>ten win season at Arizona in twenty fourteen when they

265
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:15.399
<v Speaker 2>went to the Vesta Bowl, and he would still be

266
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:17.120
<v Speaker 2>their coach. I don't know if people realize this, but

267
00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:21.840
<v Speaker 2>he had at Arizona. He was He was fired because

268
00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:24.960
<v Speaker 2>he had a former administrative assistant who filed a multimillion

269
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:28.000
<v Speaker 2>dollar lawsuit claiming him of sexually harassing her and creating

270
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:32.559
<v Speaker 2>a hostile work environment for years. An internal investigation by

271
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:37.440
<v Speaker 2>the school conducted that they conducted did confirm I guess

272
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.679
<v Speaker 2>what was alleged. And he was fired in January of

273
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.559
<v Speaker 2>twenty eighteen, and you know, later details came out and

274
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:47.960
<v Speaker 2>it's wild that he had he had an affair, but

275
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.840
<v Speaker 2>he did deny the sexual misconduct allegations. But he had

276
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.039
<v Speaker 2>members of his staff that were and this is what

277
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:56.600
<v Speaker 2>I guess the Arizona universe or the University of Arizona

278
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:00.480
<v Speaker 2>investigation concluded like there was somebody on his I don't

279
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:02.240
<v Speaker 2>know if it was like a wide receivers coach or

280
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:04.639
<v Speaker 2>if it was just like a quality control staffer. But

281
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:08.519
<v Speaker 2>their main job, John was to make sure that the mistress,

282
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:12.559
<v Speaker 2>who by the way, was an administrative assistant within the program,

283
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:15.440
<v Speaker 2>to make sure. The mistress and the wife were never

284
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:17.759
<v Speaker 2>in the same room together. They were never around each other,

285
00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:20.320
<v Speaker 2>never saw because again, the wife's gonna travel with the team,

286
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:21.879
<v Speaker 2>So it's the administrative assistant.

287
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:22.679
<v Speaker 3>She works for the team.

288
00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:26.600
<v Speaker 4>What's a chaotic job. Yeah, I mean, that's imagine and

289
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:28.240
<v Speaker 4>if you screw that up, you might be in some

290
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:32.159
<v Speaker 4>big trouble too, meaning who the person response keeping them

291
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:32.639
<v Speaker 4>out of the room.

292
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:34.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, clearly he didn't do it. He didn't do

293
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:36.519
<v Speaker 3>a good enough job because the affair got out it.

294
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:39.720
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like she probably, you know, realized that she

295
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.759
<v Speaker 2>could potentially cash in on this whole thing. But it's

296
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:45.399
<v Speaker 2>actually not that far off from Bobby. I mean, Bobby

297
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:48.799
<v Speaker 2>was having an affair with the volleyball former volleyball player

298
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.039
<v Speaker 2>at Arkansas, who I think was also working in an

299
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:55.879
<v Speaker 2>administrative role within the athletic department at Arkansas. And you know,

300
00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:56.360
<v Speaker 2>we all know.

301
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.639
<v Speaker 3>How that played out. Those two guys.

302
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.799
<v Speaker 2>Nineteen years ago two there were two top five teams

303
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:06.000
<v Speaker 2>playing each other at Cardinal Stadium, Papa John's Cardinal Stadium

304
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:08.200
<v Speaker 2>back in that day, and again, it was the best

305
00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:11.440
<v Speaker 2>environment I've ever seen for a louisvill football game. And

306
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.919
<v Speaker 2>here we are nineteen years later, Rich Rods bringing Jacksonville

307
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.519
<v Speaker 2>State the game Cocks into Llen N Cardinal Stadium and

308
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:21.279
<v Speaker 2>Bobby Petrino's call and plays at Arkansas as the OC.

309
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:24.559
<v Speaker 2>So both guys probably not at all where they imagined

310
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:27.600
<v Speaker 2>they would be, but you know that happens to a

311
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:29.759
<v Speaker 2>lot of people. But anyways, make sure you guys join

312
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:32.679
<v Speaker 2>us tomorrow. We've got game day coverage for you. The

<v Speaker 2>postgame show. As soon as it ends, we will go

00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.120
<v Speaker 2>live right here taking your calls on the Louisville Football

318
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:49.799
<v Speaker 2>Postgame Show hosted by Yours Truly, presented by Alex R.

319
00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:52.720
<v Speaker 2>White Attorneys, so Distracted Driver dot Com. So who knows

320
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:54.320
<v Speaker 2>what we're going to be reacting to. But the question

321
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.480
<v Speaker 2>I asked Louisville fans earlier was this, what could you

322
00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:01.120
<v Speaker 2>see tomorrow? Rather it be is to tistic a result

323
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:06.360
<v Speaker 2>or just something visually, something your eyeballs witness that makes

324
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:09.000
<v Speaker 2>you feel like not only did Louisville sustain what was

325
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:11.000
<v Speaker 2>accomplished last week? And maybe that's not the right way

326
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:12.639
<v Speaker 2>to describe it, because I'm not really sure it was accomplished.

327
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:13.759
<v Speaker 2>But look, you did what you're supposed to do. You

328
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:17.200
<v Speaker 2>won sixty two to nothing against an FCS team. What

329
00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:19.799
<v Speaker 2>could be done tomorrow against Jacksonville State, a team that's

330
00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:22.440
<v Speaker 2>not FCS, but they're not far from it? What could

331
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:25.120
<v Speaker 2>be done tomorrow to where you feel like, Okay, we

332
00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:27.600
<v Speaker 2>or stayed the same. I'm just as thrilled as I

333
00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:30.720
<v Speaker 2>was last week, or maybe I'm even more so thrilled

334
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:33.759
<v Speaker 2>than I was last week, and we all know again disclaimer,

335
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:35.159
<v Speaker 2>I'll put it on the beginning and I'll put it

336
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:37.279
<v Speaker 2>on the end. Here, we have no clue what any

337
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:39.600
<v Speaker 2>of this is going to mean. You could have beatdowns

338
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:42.080
<v Speaker 2>against teams like this and be terrible, and I know

339
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:44.399
<v Speaker 2>Louisvell's not a terrible team. I'm just saying, like, that's

340
00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:45.960
<v Speaker 2>why I hate these games, because when you do what

341
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.039
<v Speaker 2>you're supposed to do, it's encouraging, but you also can

342
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:51.120
<v Speaker 2>know realistically that it's just tough to really know what

343
00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:54.759
<v Speaker 2>you learned about your team. So the text line has

344
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:56.759
<v Speaker 2>been loaded mostly from early on in the show. But

345
00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:57.879
<v Speaker 2>if you guys want to give us a call, you

346
00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:59.919
<v Speaker 2>can five or two five seven one seventy nine hundred

347
00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:01.679
<v Speaker 2>is the number you can also text in on the

348
00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:03.879
<v Speaker 2>llen N Federal Credit Union text line five O two

349
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.240
<v Speaker 2>six five three zero seven ninety. Some of the texts

350
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:07.799
<v Speaker 2>that came in earlier in the three o'clock iur when

351
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:10.120
<v Speaker 2>I asked this, the first person was just mentioning they

352
00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:13.080
<v Speaker 2>want to see the defense get another shutout. And some

353
00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:15.759
<v Speaker 2>people have called bs on that text that stated Lois

354
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.080
<v Speaker 2>has never had back to back shutouts, But nobody's also

355
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:21.759
<v Speaker 2>given me any proof that that that has happened, that

356
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:24.759
<v Speaker 2>they've had two straight games where they've kept opponents scoreless.

357
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:27.440
<v Speaker 2>It's one of those things where like I just believe

358
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:29.360
<v Speaker 2>it because it sounds like it's really hard to do.

359
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:31.200
<v Speaker 2>But then again, you got to keep in mind back

360
00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:33.480
<v Speaker 2>in the day, not a lot of points were scored

361
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.399
<v Speaker 2>in football. You could you could lose, you know, you

362
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:39.799
<v Speaker 2>could lose three to nothing in football back in the day,

363
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:41.240
<v Speaker 2>and it wouldn't be that big of a shock. So

364
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:42.720
<v Speaker 2>I have no clue if that's true or not, but

365
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:45.679
<v Speaker 2>I will say, if you go two straight weeks and

366
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:48.360
<v Speaker 2>your opponents don't score a point, your defense literally could

367
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:50.000
<v Speaker 2>not have been better, right, I mean that would be

368
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:53.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's that would be sensational. So somebody on

369
00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:55.840
<v Speaker 2>the text line earlier mentioned they want to see Pierce

370
00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:57.679
<v Speaker 2>Clarkson look more comfortable.

371
00:16:58.159 --> 00:16:59.519
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I want to.

372
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Give Pierce clark In a little bit a little bit

373
00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:06.279
<v Speaker 2>of an excuse here. So there's been a lot of

374
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:10.160
<v Speaker 2>talk about Pierce really for the last few months because

375
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:13.400
<v Speaker 2>I think since the spring, Jeff has kind of made

376
00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:16.200
<v Speaker 2>it clear that he's he's the guy that's the backup.

377
00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:18.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's also talked about Harrison Bailey. I think

378
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:19.480
<v Speaker 2>those guys have been kind of neck and neck. But

379
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.119
<v Speaker 2>from what I understand, in games like this, when you're

380
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:24.720
<v Speaker 2>up huge and you're going to your backup, so your

381
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:27.759
<v Speaker 2>quarterback that's a starter can rest, you would like the

382
00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:30.880
<v Speaker 2>bit the reps are going to be more valuable and

383
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:33.200
<v Speaker 2>more beneficial for your program if they go to Pierce Clarkson,

384
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.440
<v Speaker 2>who could potentially take the reins and he needs reps.

385
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:37.359
<v Speaker 2>He's a guy that's not played a whole lot in college.

386
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.440
<v Speaker 2>And then with Harrison Bailey again, hopefully we never find out,

387
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:43.519
<v Speaker 2>but I believe that if Tyler Shutt got hurt in

388
00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:45.920
<v Speaker 2>a real game. As of now, I think they would

389
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.039
<v Speaker 2>go with Harrison Bailey. I could be wrong, but I

390
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:50.559
<v Speaker 2>think they trust him a little bit more because again,

391
00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:52.519
<v Speaker 2>he sees and he's experienced, and he's a former five

392
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:54.920
<v Speaker 2>star quarterback who came back to Louisville, who came to

393
00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:56.480
<v Speaker 2>louis I shouldn't say he came back to Louisville, but

394
00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:59.640
<v Speaker 2>he walked on last year when he transferred in so

395
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:05.400
<v Speaker 2>with peers of all the comments and I guess criticism

396
00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:07.039
<v Speaker 2>that was out there, and I don't want to act

397
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:08.599
<v Speaker 2>as if people were bashing the young man. I mean,

398
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Louisville one's sixty to nothing.

399
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:12.559
<v Speaker 3>But what I.

400
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:14.799
<v Speaker 2>Heard more than anything in regards to Pierce last week

401
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:18.759
<v Speaker 2>was how small he looked. And I don't you know,

402
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:21.599
<v Speaker 2>I've never thought he was a guy that was going

403
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:23.400
<v Speaker 2>to get out there and we'd say to ourselves, Wow,

404
00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:26.920
<v Speaker 2>we've got ourselves a big, a big gunslinger out there.

405
00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:30.079
<v Speaker 3>I mean, he's listed at six ' to one.

406
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.480
<v Speaker 2>That's really not that short, although I will admit I

407
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:36.759
<v Speaker 2>don't know how real that six ' one is because

408
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:39.160
<v Speaker 2>he didn't look six to one to me. But then again,

409
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:43.079
<v Speaker 2>we're comparing him to Tyler Shuck who's six six, So

410
00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:45.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, Pierce didn't look smooth. He did not look

411
00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:49.079
<v Speaker 2>super sure of himself. But here's the excuse that I'm

412
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:50.960
<v Speaker 2>glad Jeff Brahm had mentioned. I think he might have

413
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:52.680
<v Speaker 2>said this at his press conference or maybe he said

414
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:54.960
<v Speaker 2>it on his Coaches show, that you know, this is

415
00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:57.160
<v Speaker 2>the first year they're doing technology in the helmet where

416
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:00.079
<v Speaker 2>you can communicate with your quarterbacks via headset like and

417
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.079
<v Speaker 2>and by the way, did you see the the picture

418
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:06.160
<v Speaker 2>that's gone viral the you know, the equip the staffers

419
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:09.119
<v Speaker 2>who work with equipment for these programs, like the equipment

420
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:12.480
<v Speaker 2>manager and and and the folks that work for them,

421
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:15.759
<v Speaker 2>they're now having to charge helmets. Think about think about

422
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:17.480
<v Speaker 2>how many helmets you've got. You gotta charge your helmet

423
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:19.000
<v Speaker 2>like that's just something you've never had to do before

424
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:20.240
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to equipment management.

425
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:21.279
<v Speaker 3>But anyways, when.

426
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Pierce got in for his first series, those weren't working,

427
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:25.599
<v Speaker 2>so there was some there was not a lot of communicator.

428
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:28.599
<v Speaker 2>They didn't they're talking to peers. They don't know initially

429
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:31.039
<v Speaker 2>that he can't hear them. So when the so there

430
00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:33.759
<v Speaker 2>was there was some miscommunication there that was nobody's fault

431
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:36.279
<v Speaker 2>other than technology, So that might have been why he

432
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:39.720
<v Speaker 2>looked a little bit again unsure of himself. So I'm

433
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:42.200
<v Speaker 2>hopeful that and I think he will get some reps

434
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:44.400
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow and hopefully he looks a little more, a little

435
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:48.319
<v Speaker 2>more smooth, and I I I don't think there's gonna

436
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:51.960
<v Speaker 2>be any I mean, I guess the only scenario where

437
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:55.720
<v Speaker 2>my thoughts on Pierce will change from now until I

438
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:59.519
<v Speaker 2>don't know next year is if, in fact, he does

439
00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:02.480
<v Speaker 2>get a lot of reps this year because Shuck went

440
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:05.880
<v Speaker 2>down and they went to him. Because with Peers, if

441
00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:08.960
<v Speaker 2>he does get valuable snaps and he looks solid, he

442
00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:11.599
<v Speaker 2>looks like he's improving with each opportunity he gets to

443
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:15.359
<v Speaker 2>come in in a big blowout, that'll be encouraging. But

444
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:17.839
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't mean that Jeff won't still look at what

445
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:20.319
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks are going to be in the portal and bring

446
00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:22.880
<v Speaker 2>in somebody who he feels like could be really good here.

447
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:25.519
<v Speaker 2>And it won't even he that won't have anything to

448
00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:28.440
<v Speaker 2>do with Peers. So it's just a it's a new

449
00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:31.839
<v Speaker 2>world now to where if you're a coach, the days

450
00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:34.519
<v Speaker 2>of just knowing you're about to hand the reins off

451
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:36.559
<v Speaker 2>to this guy who's been sitting there for two years.

452
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:40.079
<v Speaker 2>That maybe the way some coaches go about it. However,

453
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:44.640
<v Speaker 2>it may also be, you know, you know, it may

454
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:46.720
<v Speaker 2>also be something that no coaches want to do because

455
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:49.279
<v Speaker 2>they if they can go with somebody they've watched on

456
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:53.640
<v Speaker 2>film who's played real college football for multiple years and

457
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:56.559
<v Speaker 2>they like what that guy brings to the table, it

458
00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:58.839
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't shock me if every coach decides to take that

459
00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:02.799
<v Speaker 2>path rather than just trusting that a kid who only

460
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:05.039
<v Speaker 2>has you know, real high school experience as your full

461
00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:08.079
<v Speaker 2>time starter, Like that's a bigger risk, and sometimes the

462
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:11.279
<v Speaker 2>risk pays off, right Like Miller Moss at USC. He's

463
00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:13.799
<v Speaker 2>a great example. He waited for three years before he

464
00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:17.319
<v Speaker 2>got an opportunity at USC, playing behind Kayleb Williams. And

465
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:18.839
<v Speaker 2>there was another guy they brought in and I think

466
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:20.279
<v Speaker 2>was ahead of him on the depth chart that ended

467
00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:22.559
<v Speaker 2>up transferring to Boise State and he didn't win the

468
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.000
<v Speaker 2>job there either. But Miller Moss, he sat around and waited,

469
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:28.920
<v Speaker 2>and he really showed against Louisville in that Bowl game

470
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:30.960
<v Speaker 2>last year what he can do, and he picked up

471
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:32.880
<v Speaker 2>where he left off with a really good performance against

472
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:35.799
<v Speaker 2>LSU this past weekend. So you know, I don't act

473
00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:39.640
<v Speaker 2>like I'm anti Piercer, acting like he won't be the

474
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:43.799
<v Speaker 2>quarterback of the future. But I just know that even

475
00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:46.720
<v Speaker 2>if he does enough this year in backup mop up

476
00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:50.839
<v Speaker 2>duty that looks encouraging, Jeff will probably still bring in

477
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:52.920
<v Speaker 2>a really good quarterback in the portal if he can

478
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:55.720
<v Speaker 2>do that, and that'll lead to a lot of fans saying, well,

479
00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:58.319
<v Speaker 2>I guess that means he doesn't like Pierce Clarkson because

480
00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:01.440
<v Speaker 2>people did that last year with and I don't think it.

481
00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:02.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't think it's going to be anything to do

482
00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:03.039
<v Speaker 3>with Pierce.

483
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it's just going to be coaches can take

484
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.160
<v Speaker 2>advantage of the portal, and my goodness, Jeff Brahm has

485
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:09.440
<v Speaker 2>shown us that he's going to be a coach that's

486
00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:12.319
<v Speaker 2>gonna utilize it to his strengths. All right, quick break,

487
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:13.720
<v Speaker 2>we'll come back on the other side. Keep this thing

488
00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:14.400
<v Speaker 2>rolling along.

489
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:16.000
<v Speaker 3>Stick with us. It's coffee and company.

490
00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Feel about Thornton's right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

491
00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:23.319
<v Speaker 2>That's right, This is Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's

492
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:25.839
<v Speaker 2>here on Sports Talk seven ninety, about thirty minutes left

493
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:28.079
<v Speaker 2>before we get out of here for the weekend. For

494
00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:32.119
<v Speaker 2>those of you that did miss this story earlier at WDRB,

495
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:34.720
<v Speaker 2>we talked about it in the three o'clock hour, the

496
00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:37.599
<v Speaker 2>porch pooping. It became a big, big story here locally

497
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:41.079
<v Speaker 2>in just not something you typically see. It got so

498
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:44.160
<v Speaker 2>much attention just because of the unusualness here that it

499
00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:47.799
<v Speaker 2>made it all the way to TMZ, Barstool Sports had

500
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:51.680
<v Speaker 2>different write ups about it, and you know, anytime there'd

501
00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:54.079
<v Speaker 2>be an update, and I would think to myself, let

502
00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:56.039
<v Speaker 2>me back up. Anytime there was an update before today,

503
00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.200
<v Speaker 2>I would always think to myself, man, like I have

504
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:02.920
<v Speaker 2>so many questions here, like this doesn't make any sense,

505
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Like what how could this happen? And I thought to myself,

506
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:09.319
<v Speaker 2>maybe there's going to be something that comes out to

507
00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:11.839
<v Speaker 2>where we find out. Okay, well that makes sense. And

508
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:14.759
<v Speaker 2>I thought, you know, maybe it's a publicity stunt. Maybe

509
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:17.240
<v Speaker 2>it is just something that you know, somebody wanted to

510
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:18.759
<v Speaker 2>do to see if they could make it on the

511
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:21.279
<v Speaker 2>local news and keep it rolling along. Like you know,

512
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:23.759
<v Speaker 2>I had no clue, but like there's got to be

513
00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:26.839
<v Speaker 2>some explanation here, and we do now know the explanation

514
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.119
<v Speaker 2>as to what was going on, And honestly, John did

515
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:32.079
<v Speaker 2>a great job I think in the three o'clock hour

516
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:34.920
<v Speaker 2>of kind of laying out that despite this being you know,

517
00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:39.400
<v Speaker 2>not a good thing by any means, but for everybody involved,

518
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:43.599
<v Speaker 2>the explanation here was really best case scenario. I mean,

519
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:45.480
<v Speaker 2>it's unfortunate still, I don't want to paint it as

520
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:48.640
<v Speaker 2>some great thing, but L and PD did announce earlier

521
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:51.880
<v Speaker 2>today that they now have identified who this person is

522
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:55.079
<v Speaker 2>and they won't publicly identify this person and they will

523
00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:57.960
<v Speaker 2>not be charged with any crime because they've now determined

524
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:01.720
<v Speaker 2>that this is an adult male with with autism. And

525
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:04.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, just talking about it earlier, there's some other

526
00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:07.440
<v Speaker 2>folks that have texted in some things they've heard since

527
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:10.880
<v Speaker 2>this became, you know, the update that explains it that

528
00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:14.119
<v Speaker 2>this is somebody that is a special needs person. But

529
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:17.480
<v Speaker 2>some have said this this this young man has high

530
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:21.359
<v Speaker 2>level autism, high level autistic and has had some recent

531
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:25.359
<v Speaker 2>family issues that have kind of thrown him thrown him

532
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:27.880
<v Speaker 2>off a little bit. So hopefully there are people that

533
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:30.519
<v Speaker 2>are compassion here and and you know, this is a

534
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:32.480
<v Speaker 2>struggle for you know, for a lot of folks as

535
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:35.599
<v Speaker 2>somebody who's a father of a special needs child. You know,

536
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:38.880
<v Speaker 2>first thing I thought of when I saw the news

537
00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:42.200
<v Speaker 2>of you know, the explanation, I thought, well, okay, that

538
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:44.759
<v Speaker 2>one that makes sense. This is somebody that is special needs.

539
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:47.960
<v Speaker 2>But also, you know, I love that LMPD just wanted

540
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:51.039
<v Speaker 2>to update people so they know what's going on and

541
00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:53.880
<v Speaker 2>hopefully the story just dies off. You know, I have,

542
00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:57.680
<v Speaker 2>I have, you know, fears of my own as a

543
00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:00.319
<v Speaker 2>father of a special needs child, of you know, bad

544
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:02.640
<v Speaker 2>things like you know, just things that are just hardships

545
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:06.240
<v Speaker 2>you're going to endure that are you know of unavoidable

546
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:10.279
<v Speaker 2>at times. And it's not like hardships and worry for me,

547
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:13.000
<v Speaker 2>it's the worry you have for your for your child,

548
00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:15.960
<v Speaker 2>which is a worry that you know, until you've been there,

549
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:18.200
<v Speaker 2>you really and I don't mean you have to have

550
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:20.559
<v Speaker 2>a child with special needs, but like when you're a parent,

551
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:23.400
<v Speaker 2>the worry you have for your child in general, the

552
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:25.160
<v Speaker 2>love you have for them, you wanting to keep them

553
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:27.519
<v Speaker 2>safe and you know, protect them, like it's it's a

554
00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:30.599
<v Speaker 2>special thing that you really can't understand until you are

555
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:34.000
<v Speaker 2>in that position. So I just had like an awful

556
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:37.920
<v Speaker 2>visual of like they never finding out what was going

557
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:42.200
<v Speaker 2>on here with this special needs autistic man and somebody's

558
00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:44.759
<v Speaker 2>like staging out the house because I think it was

559
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:46.920
<v Speaker 2>quite clear people could figure out where this was going on,

560
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:49.279
<v Speaker 2>and somebody just trying to catch this guy in the

561
00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:51.480
<v Speaker 2>act and get out their phone and get some video

562
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:54.960
<v Speaker 2>and go viral, not knowing that they would be potentially

563
00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:58.160
<v Speaker 2>harassing and making fun of somebody that has special needs.

564
00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:00.720
<v Speaker 2>So again, I you know, not a not a not

565
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:03.000
<v Speaker 2>a good story by any means overall, but I think

566
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:06.559
<v Speaker 2>the update here is one that again to credit John,

567
00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:08.720
<v Speaker 2>I think it's really best case scenario for everybody. I'm

568
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:12.920
<v Speaker 2>sure the homeowners understanding as to what happened, and they're, uh,

569
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:15.119
<v Speaker 2>they're compassionate, and you know, obviously it's not something that

570
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.079
<v Speaker 2>they want somebody defecating on their on their front door,

571
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:20.119
<v Speaker 2>but at least now they they can make some sense

572
00:26:20.119 --> 00:26:22.119
<v Speaker 2>of it and hopefully they have some compassion. Clearly, l

573
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:25.000
<v Speaker 2>MPD is I think doing a good deed by letting

574
00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:28.480
<v Speaker 2>everybody know, so that way it people stop bringing it

575
00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:30.119
<v Speaker 2>up and it can kind of just die off, and

576
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:33.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, the family of this of this man, and

577
00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:36.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, everybody involved can can you know, hopefully get

578
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:39.119
<v Speaker 2>through this and and and you know, deal with whatever

579
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:39.640
<v Speaker 2>they're going.

580
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:43.319
<v Speaker 3>Through because it's tough. It's tough stuff, all right.

581
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Uh real quick, let me talk to you once again

582
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:49.880
<v Speaker 2>about the fine folks my friends over at Jefferson Animal Hospital. Uh,

583
00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:52.880
<v Speaker 2>if you have a pet, it's part of your family.

584
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:53.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean it is.

585
00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:56.279
<v Speaker 2>I I couldn't relate to that growing up because I

586
00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:57.960
<v Speaker 2>I had a dog and he was fine, But like

587
00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:00.599
<v Speaker 2>I didn't, you know, I just did have the close

588
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:02.480
<v Speaker 2>bond with a pet growing up like a lot of

589
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:07.000
<v Speaker 2>people did. I'm married into being a pet parent, if

590
00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:10.279
<v Speaker 2>you will. My wife super close with her dog, who

591
00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:13.200
<v Speaker 2>has since passed away, and that really helped me kind

592
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:15.599
<v Speaker 2>of understand it because he was part of our family.

593
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:17.039
<v Speaker 2>He and I didn't get along a whole lot. But

594
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:20.720
<v Speaker 2>you know what, when I thought about my family after

595
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:22.680
<v Speaker 2>I got married, even after we had kids, I thought

596
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:26.799
<v Speaker 2>about our dog, just because it's life. So you never

597
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:29.359
<v Speaker 2>know when something's gonna happen with your dog, right, Things

598

<v Speaker 2>you if that does happen, it's only one place you

601
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:39.960
<v Speaker 2>need to turn to, and that is the Jefferson Animal Hospital.

602
00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:42.759
<v Speaker 2>They've got the Regional Emergency Center over there on outer

603
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Loop and they've been serving the Louisville community for forty

610
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:06.559
<v Speaker 2>just happen and it can be scary and you might

<v Speaker 2>not know what to do. Well, I'm telling you what

612

<v Speaker 2>Hospital and Regional Emergency Center. So you can schedule an appointment.

614
00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Obviously that's not an emergency situation, but you can schedule

615
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:19.680
<v Speaker 2>an appointment any day or night, or you can walk

00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:25.839
<v Speaker 2>They're very proud of what they do, as they should be.

618
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:28.839
<v Speaker 2>So again, it's Jefferson Animal Hospital. They're open twenty four

619
00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:30.720
<v Speaker 2>hours on outer Loop. You can give him a call

620
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:33.599
<v Speaker 2>five ooh two nine hundred pets or visit Jefferson Vets

621
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:38.839
<v Speaker 2>dot com. All right, Connor Stallions, he's back in the news.

622
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:42.039
<v Speaker 2>He's going to be a head coach this weekend. In fact,

623
00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:44.599
<v Speaker 2>he might be coaching tonight. I would imagine, considering he's

624
00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:47.160
<v Speaker 2>coaching in the high school ranks, that it's probably a

625
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:51.759
<v Speaker 2>high school situation. But he was the defensive coordinator. He

626
00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:55.119
<v Speaker 2>was hired as a decordinator for some school in Detroit. Yeah,

627
00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Detroit Mumford High School. Well, he's now the head coach

628
00:28:58.839 --> 00:29:03.880
<v Speaker 2>at this school because the head coach himself, William McMichael,

629
00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:06.799
<v Speaker 2>has had a stroke and is going to be needing

630
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:08.880
<v Speaker 2>a few weeks off to recover, may not even return

631
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:13.480
<v Speaker 2>this season. So Connor Stallion's the head coach for the

632
00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Detroit Mumford High School. Whatever their mascot is, I'm not sure,

633
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:22.759
<v Speaker 2>but if you're so, he's coaching in Detroit, Michigan. You

634
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:24.559
<v Speaker 2>know one of the In fact, when this story came

635
00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:27.680
<v Speaker 2>out that he'd actually landed a job, it was honestly

636
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:29.400
<v Speaker 2>broke by somebody who got an early look at the

637
00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:31.559
<v Speaker 2>Netflix documentary, because they do that from time to time.

638
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:33.880
<v Speaker 2>It happened to me one time I felt really special.

639
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:38.200
<v Speaker 2>When they did the HBO documentary on the bag Man

640
00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:42.079
<v Speaker 2>what is his name, Christian Dawkins for the whole FBI scandal.

641
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:45.559
<v Speaker 2>The director of that documentary that ended up on HBO

642
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:47.680
<v Speaker 2>reached out to me and gave me access to it

643
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:49.960
<v Speaker 2>and I could interview the director, and I felt so

644
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:52.200
<v Speaker 2>important being able to get an early look at something

645
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:52.759
<v Speaker 2>like that.

646
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:54.400
<v Speaker 3>That PR emails.

647
00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean like, well, but what happens is the PR

648
00:29:57.039 --> 00:29:59.119
<v Speaker 2>folks they want to put this in front of a

649
00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:01.160
<v Speaker 2>market that would be more interested than most. It's a

650
00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:03.759
<v Speaker 2>fascinating story in general, but my goodness, it's about Rick Patino.

651
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:06.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, so Louisville being the market, like it made

652
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:08.400
<v Speaker 2>sense for them to want to want to want to

653
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:11.119
<v Speaker 2>get you know, somebody like myself talking about it, who

654
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:14.640
<v Speaker 2>had an early look at it. So anyways, that's how

655
00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:18.480
<v Speaker 2>the news broke that Connor Stallions was an assistant coach

656
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:20.319
<v Speaker 2>at this high school, because they actually showed footage at

657
00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:22.640
<v Speaker 2>the end of the documentary of him coaching in high school,

658
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:25.720
<v Speaker 2>and the head coach, once he became public, said, yeah,

659
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:28.799
<v Speaker 2>I've got the most hated man in the country on

660
00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:33.279
<v Speaker 2>my sideline running my defense, which probably somewhat of an

661
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:36.319
<v Speaker 2>accurate statement, because Connor Stallions is the guy who was

662
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:38.759
<v Speaker 2>really the main I mean, he was the guy out there,

663
00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:43.000
<v Speaker 2>boots on the ground helping execute a huge, you know

664
00:30:43.119 --> 00:30:46.640
<v Speaker 2>plan scheme to cheat, and that's exactly what they did.

665
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:49.519
<v Speaker 2>He can say whatever he wants, but in Michigan, the guys,

666
00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:52.359
<v Speaker 2>like Michigan fans can't hate him, right, like Michigan, Like

667
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:56.039
<v Speaker 2>if he's coaching against like, let's just say Connor Stallions

668
00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:59.279
<v Speaker 2>takes this team Detroit Mumford High School on the road

669
00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:02.920
<v Speaker 2>next week and he's playing in rural Michigan, somewhere where

670
00:31:02.920 --> 00:31:08.119
<v Speaker 2>that entire town they love the Wolverines, the Blue and Maze.

671
00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:11.319
<v Speaker 2>He's probably getting a standing Oh is he? Note? Come,

672
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:12.200
<v Speaker 2>he ain't getting booed.

673
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:15.359
<v Speaker 4>He didn't get into like East Lansing or Michigan State

674
00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:17.519
<v Speaker 4>territory where you're gonna get into some hostile environment.

675
00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:20.759
<v Speaker 2>By the way, Michigan State looked like the biggest bunch

676
00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:25.759
<v Speaker 2>of bitches in that documentary. I didn't realize this. They

677
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:30.519
<v Speaker 2>they had every play called in last year during that game,

678
00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:34.440
<v Speaker 2>like sent in, they wouldn't do signals and they got

679
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:38.319
<v Speaker 2>killed and still blamed like they acted like they got

680
00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:41.799
<v Speaker 2>killed because Michigan State cheated when you didn't actually even

681
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:43.960
<v Speaker 2>hold up signals for anybody to steal, you actually had

682
00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:45.960
<v Speaker 2>your quarterback run over there. Like they just looked so

683
00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:49.319
<v Speaker 2>weak and so like, I don't know, like I guess

684
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:51.720
<v Speaker 2>what they say in the rivalry world is a little brotherish.

685
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:55.480
<v Speaker 2>But like they got killed and they they're going through

686
00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:57.440
<v Speaker 2>a rough year. They'd already fired what's his name before

687
00:31:57.440 --> 00:31:59.519
<v Speaker 2>the Milton started. And they weren't good last year, were they?

688
00:31:59.640 --> 00:31:59.799
<v Speaker 4>No?

689
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:01.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so, and they're not gonna be good this year,

690
00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:02.119
<v Speaker 3>are they?

691
00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:04.039
<v Speaker 4>I mean, they won't beat fau By.

692
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:05.240
<v Speaker 3>That's right.

693
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:09.759
<v Speaker 2>So Anyways, Connor Stallion's coaching high school football probably tonight,

694
00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:13.200
<v Speaker 2>which uh, you know, probably not what he envisioned he'd

695
00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:17.160
<v Speaker 2>be doing whenever he was given the game ball after

696
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:19.559
<v Speaker 2>some big ten victories for Michigan, because you know, he

697
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:21.799
<v Speaker 2>was the best cheater and he changed things for him.

698
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:25.480
<v Speaker 2>The worst part about it is, even if that didn't

699
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:29.680
<v Speaker 2>have a huge impact on their success, man, the timing

700
00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:33.279
<v Speaker 2>of it is just not ideal. Like they did not

701
00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:36.759
<v Speaker 2>really turn the corner and become elite until he started

702
00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:39.039
<v Speaker 2>really executing. And I think knowing that he got the

703
00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:43.160
<v Speaker 2>game ball, knowing what his role was. Like, that's to me,

704
00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:46.359
<v Speaker 2>that's the most damaging evidence that Harball didn't know what

705
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:47.960
<v Speaker 2>this guy was doing, you know what I mean.

706
00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:52.240
<v Speaker 4>That's that's almost it feels like them admitting not intentionally,

707
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:55.920
<v Speaker 4>that he was instrumental in the wins that they got

708
00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:57.920
<v Speaker 4>or whatever win that you know he got the game

709
00:32:57.960 --> 00:32:59.079
<v Speaker 4>ball for specifically.

710
00:32:59.160 --> 00:32:59.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean.

711
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:03.240
<v Speaker 2>I didn't get I mean I don't. I don't care

712
00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:05.920
<v Speaker 2>enough about Michigan to like get bothered by. I actually

713
00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:10.599
<v Speaker 2>think they were really really good last year, but the

714
00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:16.079
<v Speaker 2>untold producers and directors like like whoever's in charge, because

715
00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:19.200
<v Speaker 2>each each episode probably has different people from a creative

716
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:22.079
<v Speaker 2>standpoint working on it. But their theme lately is just

717
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:24.400
<v Speaker 2>those are pr pieces for the people they profile, which

718
00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:27.000
<v Speaker 2>is really not what a documentary is like. You're not

719
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:30.759
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be having any creative control on a documentary

720
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:33.160
<v Speaker 2>about yourself or your story. It's somebody who wants to

721
00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:35.200
<v Speaker 2>tell your story. But people who do this, you know,

722
00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:38.799
<v Speaker 2>the right way, they understand their credibility in that world

723
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:41.599
<v Speaker 2>relies on being real and honest and not just trying

724
00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:43.480
<v Speaker 2>to tell one side of a story. But I think

725
00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:46.240
<v Speaker 2>Michael Jordan in the last dance docuseries. It kind of

726
00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:47.839
<v Speaker 2>made it to where that was such a big hit,

727
00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:50.960
<v Speaker 2>so well done that I think creatively a lot of

728
00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:53.279
<v Speaker 2>these producers and directors when it comes to documentary stuff,

729
00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:56.079
<v Speaker 2>they're like, yeah, we could, probably, we could probably, you know,

730
00:33:57.079 --> 00:33:59.400
<v Speaker 2>tell one side and not every angle of it and

731
00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:02.039
<v Speaker 2>it might make better story. But I know a lot

732
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:05.480
<v Speaker 2>of people who watched that Connor Stallions thing ended up

733
00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:08.039
<v Speaker 2>not feeling it, probably felt like they wasted their time,

734
00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:09.800
<v Speaker 2>be honest with you. All right, quick break, we'll come

735
00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:11.920
<v Speaker 2>back on the other side. Not a whole lot of

736
00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:13.599
<v Speaker 2>time left before we have to say goodbye, but we

737
00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:14.760
<v Speaker 2>will finish the show.

738
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:15.400
<v Speaker 3>Use the time.

739
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:17.400
<v Speaker 2>We have to talk about some of our picks this weekend,

740
00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:19.400

<v Speaker 2>NFL tonight, I hear you, any thought, any thoughts on

746
00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:38.559
<v Speaker 2>Texas in Michigan Right now it is Texas minus seven.

747
00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:42.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm just going I'm going Texas money line, although I

748
00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:44.239
<v Speaker 2>don't love it. I have no clue what's gonna happen

749
00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:46.320
<v Speaker 2>in this game, but I'm trusting that Texas will be

750
00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:48.320
<v Speaker 2>able to just at least pull off a victory here

751
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:49.119
<v Speaker 2>even if they don't cover.

752
00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:51.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, this will be a good test for one Sharon

753
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:54.000
<v Speaker 4>More in Michigan. I personally think he's gonna end up

754
00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:55.960
<v Speaker 4>being a bum, but I mean, you never know. If

755
00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:58.159
<v Speaker 4>I were betting this game, i'd probably take the Texas

756
00:34:58.199 --> 00:34:59.079
<v Speaker 4>to cover this one.

757
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:01.760
<v Speaker 3>You are are all in on Iowa?

758
00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:05.800
<v Speaker 2>I am correct, yes, so right now it is Iowa

759
00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:08.559
<v Speaker 2>minus three. What did you get it at two and

760
00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:12.920
<v Speaker 2>a half? Okay, so right now, man, the public is

761
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:15.440
<v Speaker 2>on your side. The money as well. Sixty four percent

762
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:18.800
<v Speaker 2>of the money coming in is on the Hawkeys to

763
00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:22.960
<v Speaker 2>cover ninety percent of the money that's come in on

764
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:24.920
<v Speaker 2>the total John is under thirty five.

765
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:26.920
<v Speaker 4>And of course, so I guess we have a small

766
00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:30.039
<v Speaker 4>sample size from the new look Iowa offense, but I

767
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:32.079
<v Speaker 4>happen to think they're gonna do pretty well this year.

768
00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:35.280
<v Speaker 2>We'll see, Yeah, I one game. I'm really looking forward

769
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:37.440
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow night. I'm not gonna watch it from start to finish,

770
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:41.000
<v Speaker 2>but I do like Kansas minus four and a half

771
00:35:41.079 --> 00:35:43.760
<v Speaker 2>against Illinois. I'm a believer in Kansas's not as an

772
00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:46.199
<v Speaker 2>elite team, but I think they'll they'll take care of

773
00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:50.320
<v Speaker 2>business there and then NC State and Tennessee. Right now,

774
00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:53.159
<v Speaker 2>as we speak, it is Tennessee minus nine opened up

775
00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:55.239
<v Speaker 2>at Tennessee minus five and a half.

776
00:35:56.920 --> 00:35:57.719
<v Speaker 3>This is insane.

777
00:35:58.079 --> 00:36:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Ninety five percent of the money is on Tennessee to

778
00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:01.840
<v Speaker 2>cover here, John.

779
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:04.159
<v Speaker 4>I've got I got it at eight and a half, and

780
00:36:03.679 --> 00:36:06.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm very confident in this, as apparently the rest of

781
00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:10.199
<v Speaker 4>the betting world is. But the one thing I have

782
00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:12.039
<v Speaker 4>when it comes to a fear with this game is

783
00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:14.960
<v Speaker 4>the fact that maybe a lot of people, including myself,

784
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:17.599
<v Speaker 4>are just overreacting to Tennessee's big win and then on

785
00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:19.840
<v Speaker 4>top of that the close game that NC State had

786
00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:21.239
<v Speaker 4>with Western Carolina in Week one.

787
00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think if this ends up not hitting and

788
00:36:23.639 --> 00:36:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee doesn't cover or ends up losing, it'll be that

789
00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:28.800
<v Speaker 2>we just overreacted to n C State. But look, I

790
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:32.000
<v Speaker 2>don't think Grayson McCall is going to be a stellar

791
00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:33.760
<v Speaker 2>when he's going up against an SEC team. I know

792
00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee's not typically known for their defense, but this is

793
00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:39.079
<v Speaker 2>a different world for him. Tennessee on their end, their quarterback,

794
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:42.519
<v Speaker 2>he's apparently believed to be one of the next Phenom's

795
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:44.679
<v Speaker 2>a guy that could be, you know, a first pick

796
00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:47.440
<v Speaker 2>overall in the NFL draft when it's whenever he's eligible

797
00:36:47.480 --> 00:36:49.800
<v Speaker 2>to be drafted. So I'll probably tell you on this

798
00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:52.000
<v Speaker 2>one just because I just think Tennessee is that much better.

799
00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:55.920
<v Speaker 2>And then I have to bet on this game. This

800
00:36:56.000 --> 00:37:00.360
<v Speaker 2>is emotionally a wager as well, Like emotion is involved here,

801
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:04.880
<v Speaker 2>but I also believe it. Nebraska minus six and a

802
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:06.719
<v Speaker 2>half against Colorado.

803
00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:07.480
<v Speaker 3>I've got that too good.

804
00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:10.039
<v Speaker 4>I just feel like this is a perfect time to

805
00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:11.920
<v Speaker 4>really put d On back in the call.

806
00:37:11.960 --> 00:37:12.119
<v Speaker 1>Fim.

807
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:13.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, not that he was ever in it, but you know,

808
00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:14.719
<v Speaker 4>in it for the first time.

809
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:17.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean again, I think just because of the flash.

810
00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:19.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, did you see him complaining this week about

811
00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:22.559
<v Speaker 2>he was complaining this week about how his two guys

812
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:25.199
<v Speaker 2>weren't being talked at as the two Heisman favorites. Dude,

813
00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:29.039
<v Speaker 2>you beat an FCS team by five, you bomb, you boom.

814
00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:33.920
<v Speaker 2>But like, if they get housed by Nebraska, maybe that'll

815
00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:36.159
<v Speaker 2>be a sign whenever the people who still like are

816
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:38.039
<v Speaker 2>gonna worship d On Even if he doesn't win, maybe

817
00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:40.800
<v Speaker 2>they'll have an awakening and think, Okay, this guy might

818
00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:43.639
<v Speaker 2>actually not be a great coach or even a remotely

819
00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:47.519
<v Speaker 2>good coach. Anyways, I love it football seasons here, folks.

820
00:37:48.039 --> 00:37:50.239
<v Speaker 2>Enjoy your weekend. Come back right here for us tomorrow
