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

2
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.

3
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:29.480
<v Speaker 2>It's still raining out there, at least it is where

4
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:31.760
<v Speaker 2>I am. It's not, uh, I mean, it's just been

5
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:37.240
<v Speaker 2>that consistent, occasional heavy, but like never really stopping. I'm

6
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:41.399
<v Speaker 2>often critical of meteorologists when they get it wrong and

7
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:45.479
<v Speaker 2>they're you know, and they really are trying to keep

8
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.359
<v Speaker 2>people safe and do a good job. And most of

9
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:50.479
<v Speaker 2>the time it's all in fun whenever I pick at them.

10
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:52.280
<v Speaker 2>But you know, there are some that I think just

11
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.759
<v Speaker 2>it's their nature. Maybe maybe it's not an intentional thing,

12
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:59.640
<v Speaker 2>it's just their personality and how they express things to

13
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.679
<v Speaker 2>where you know, they they've got you thinking you're gonna

14
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:04.799
<v Speaker 2>need to call everybody you know then you love and

15
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:07.439
<v Speaker 2>tell them goodbye because you know, mother nature is just

16
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.439
<v Speaker 2>gonna take us all out. So, you know, I'm critical

17
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:14.560
<v Speaker 2>of them, and I think at times if they predict

18
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.159
<v Speaker 2>something really really bad, like they project that it's happening

19
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.280
<v Speaker 2>and it doesn't, it's like a good thing, right, because

20
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.879
<v Speaker 2>nobody wants a really terrible, you know, mother nature related

21
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 2>thing to happen. That could you know, hurt some people.

22
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, so the relief of knowing they were wrong

23
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:34.840
<v Speaker 2>actually makes it to where like they're not really at

24
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:36.959
<v Speaker 2>times held accountable in my opinion. So I say all

25
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:40.480
<v Speaker 2>that to say they got it right. I mean, I'm

26
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.560
<v Speaker 2>pretty sure anybody I heard giving us updates on whether

27
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 2>yesterday or even the day before, what they said is

28
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.200
<v Speaker 2>exactly what has happened. It was gonna start raining late

29
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:52.079
<v Speaker 2>late on Thursday, mostly actually Friday morning, and it was

30
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.159
<v Speaker 2>going to rain for a long time and not stop.

31
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 2>And that's where we are right now. It sounds like

32
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.719
<v Speaker 2>the wind has slowed down a little bit. It's still

33
00:01:57.719 --> 00:01:59.599
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people here in Kentucky, Ina without power,

34
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.840
<v Speaker 2>it looks like, but I'd say the worst of it

35
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:05.319
<v Speaker 2>has come and gone at least I hope that's the case, because, uh,

36
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:08.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, flooding is a real worry. And my we

37
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 2>we had a basement flood at the house I'm at

38
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:13.840
<v Speaker 2>right now, which we've been here for I guess two

39
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.639
<v Speaker 2>years now, but we were here maybe I don't know,

40
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 2>a month five weeks before we had the this basement flood.

41
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Had to get new car. It was just a pain

42
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 2>in the ass. So we've had two basements that have

43
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:29.680
<v Speaker 2>flooded on us where we had to get you know,

44
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 2>new carpet and you know that whole mess. So we

45
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.080
<v Speaker 2>are paranoid, my wife more than I because you know,

46
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 2>she's more responsible, she's the adult in the relationship. But

47
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 2>like we worry about that sump pump. The sump pump

48
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:43.280
<v Speaker 2>is if you know, you need it, if it's not operating,

49
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:45.639
<v Speaker 2>if it goes out, if it's if it just you know,

50
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:49.479
<v Speaker 2>can't keep up, then you're screwed. So you know, make

51
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:52.319
<v Speaker 2>sure yours. And I've heard of people who, you know,

52
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>you don't think to go check your sump pump randomly,

53
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:58.879
<v Speaker 2>I mean I don't. I mean maybe during these types

54
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.439
<v Speaker 2>of situations you would, but like they didn't realize that

55
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:03.520
<v Speaker 2>it went out or it was unplugged because they were

56
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.599
<v Speaker 2>moving something around in that utility room. So this is

57
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.159
<v Speaker 2>the time where you need to check on it and

58
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:09.919
<v Speaker 2>make sure it's working because if not, you're gonna be

59
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna be screwed. All right, it's coffee and Company.

60
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:14.759
<v Speaker 2>We are fiel about Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

61
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:16.479
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for hanging out with us as we get you

62
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:19.800
<v Speaker 2>set for the weekend. Louisville Notre Dame, less than twenty

63
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.719
<v Speaker 2>four hours away. The storm, the storms and the weather

64
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.840
<v Speaker 2>overall has impacted Louisville's travel. It sounds like I believe

65
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:27.800
<v Speaker 2>they were expected to take a flight up to South Bend.

66
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.039
<v Speaker 2>That is usually how they travel. There aren't many places

67
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.319
<v Speaker 2>they go via bus. However, they did take the bus

68
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 2>up today to South Bend, and it's an old school

69
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.000
<v Speaker 2>road trip. I would imagine this is the longest bus

70
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.159
<v Speaker 2>ride they've taken as a team in quite some time,

71
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:42.560
<v Speaker 2>and I choose to think of it as a good thing.

72
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, either way, they're gonna have a full night's

73
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.319
<v Speaker 2>rest tonight for the game tomorrow. But maybe there's some

74
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:49.240
<v Speaker 2>more team bonding on a bus than which you'd get

75
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.080
<v Speaker 2>on a plane. I don't know, but I do know

76
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.879
<v Speaker 2>I am confident that Louisville will win tomorrow. I mean

77
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I'm not that guy that's like I'm calling

78
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.800
<v Speaker 2>my shot the cars are taking them down, Like that's

79
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.639
<v Speaker 2>just not really not really my my style. Also, I

80
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.159
<v Speaker 2>don't think any I mean, let me ask you this, John,

81
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:10.439
<v Speaker 2>you're somebody who is now in the business. Do you

82
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.759
<v Speaker 2>think people really care about picks that people make.

83
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.519
<v Speaker 3>I think now so more than ever, people care more

84
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.800
<v Speaker 3>about you know, spreads and over enders and that stuff

85
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.720
<v Speaker 3>because there's money on the line. Back before sports betting

86
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.759
<v Speaker 3>was really all the rage it is now, I feel

87
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:28.519
<v Speaker 3>like it was a lot more common for people to

88
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:30.519
<v Speaker 3>care about just your regular picks.

89
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.639
<v Speaker 4>For Yeah, so for each of the games.

90
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:36.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm a Louisville fan, so like there are games that

91
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.399
<v Speaker 2>I think Louisville can lose, Like there's games where I

92
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:41.639
<v Speaker 2>don't expect Louislle to win. I mean, we just got

93
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:43.279
<v Speaker 2>through with the Kenny Payne are are you kidding me?

94
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:45.879
<v Speaker 2>But like I'm not, let me, let me, let me

95
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.800
<v Speaker 2>tease up, stick with me through two and a half hours,

96
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.040
<v Speaker 2>and then you're gonna get my pick about what's gonna

97
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:53.399
<v Speaker 2>happen in the Louisville game. Like you know, I just don't.

98
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, Like I'm I I'm a fan like

99
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:58.160
<v Speaker 2>anybody else. So I just tune in and watch and

100
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.120
<v Speaker 2>hope for the best. And you know, so I'm just

101
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:02.720
<v Speaker 2>have never really been like what's your pick? Which you know,

102
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:04.439
<v Speaker 2>it's just not my kind of thing now when it

103
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:06.399
<v Speaker 2>comes to picking other games, when it comes to just wagering,

104
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:08.680
<v Speaker 2>I do that just in fun because it is fun,

105
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.120
<v Speaker 2>and uh, you know that has become a big big

106
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.800
<v Speaker 2>It's become a big not just a talking point. But

107
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 2>when when it comes to sports gambling content, I mean

108
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.879
<v Speaker 2>it's very very popular within the you know, the entertainment world.

109
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.879
<v Speaker 2>Although it does it does irritate me. I mean, I

110
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 2>I know what they're doing. They're trying to target people

111
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.959
<v Speaker 2>who they want to start betting on sports that maybe

112
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.240
<v Speaker 2>don't even watch sports that much. But like, why are

113
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.279
<v Speaker 2>there so many like a list celebrities that are the

114
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 2>ones that are endorsing these sports books. I mean again,

115
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.199
<v Speaker 2>they are big, you know, they're they're influen their influencers, right,

116
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:44.839
<v Speaker 2>they're endorsing them. And if you see Jamie Fox or

117
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Hart pop up for a sports book, like it

118
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:50.199
<v Speaker 2>may catch your attention more than some loudmouth sports guy

119
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:52.240
<v Speaker 2>who's you know, a nobody, but he makes a lot

120
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:54.160
<v Speaker 2>of money on gambling. But like, I don't know, I

121
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.879
<v Speaker 2>just feel like that's a wasted Like it is Jamie

122
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.079
<v Speaker 2>Fox really gonna make you download whatever sports book he

123
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker 2>is honking so you can start betting. Like I don't know, again,

124
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:06.720
<v Speaker 2>no hate to Jamie Fox. I'm sure, he's getting paid

125
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:08.600
<v Speaker 2>a lot of money to do it, but like, to me,

126
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:10.920
<v Speaker 2>isn't that I just feel like, John, I get your

127
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:15.639
<v Speaker 2>thoughts on this. That's probably the attempt to get the

128
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.639
<v Speaker 2>people who aren't necessarily there's people who watch sports occasionally,

129
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:22.000
<v Speaker 2>but like if they were gonna do it, they would

130
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:23.639
<v Speaker 2>have already done it. Well, maybe now this a less

131
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:25.720
<v Speaker 2>celebrity talking about it is going to get him interested

132
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.319
<v Speaker 2>because they really like, you know, Kevin Hart and I feel.

133
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.839
<v Speaker 3>Like those Shack they kind of approach it from different

134
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker 3>angles Because Jamie Fox, I feel like he tries to

135
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.319
<v Speaker 3>come off as this real classy dude and maybe he

136
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.600
<v Speaker 3>maybe it's different with his company that he's endorsing. When

137
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.160
<v Speaker 3>Kevin Hart character, Kevin Hart acts like he's the casual

138
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.120
<v Speaker 3>dude eating wings on the couch, getting excited about whoever

139
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:47.439
<v Speaker 3>he's bet on for whatever game it is, look and

140
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:48.360
<v Speaker 3>whatever works.

141
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:51.439
<v Speaker 2>Clearly they keep spending money in their marketing efforts to

142
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:53.800
<v Speaker 2>to you know, with these big celebrities. But it just

143
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:55.399
<v Speaker 2>to me it seems like such a stretch. But I

144
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:57.959
<v Speaker 2>am somebody that would see it that way because it

145
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.399
<v Speaker 2>could be Kevin Hart or Tony Hart or Tony Venetti.

146
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:03.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna bet because that's what I want to do.

147
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:05.079
<v Speaker 2>There's not anybody that's like, it's just that I don't

148
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.040
<v Speaker 2>need you to market to me because I'm already doing it.

149
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.160
<v Speaker 2>So clearly they've got a strategy. I would imagine the

150
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:11.759
<v Speaker 2>person making those decisions within these big corporations that make

151
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.279
<v Speaker 2>billions of dollars, they know what they're doing. But anyways,

152
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:15.720
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying is I think Louisvill's going to win.

153
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:17.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna be the guy that says I'm calling

154
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:19.720
<v Speaker 2>my shot, I'm predicting it. I just think they're a

155
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.399
<v Speaker 2>better football team. I think they're gonna be ready to play.

156
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Their coach, you know, Jeff Bram. You guys heard of him.

157
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.519
<v Speaker 2>He's pretty damn good coach in these games. Specifically a

158
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:30.839
<v Speaker 2>good coach overall, with a lot of success under his belt.

159
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:32.600
<v Speaker 2>But these are the kind of games. He has his

160
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.319
<v Speaker 2>team ready to play, and he's taken advantage of opportunities,

161
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.920
<v Speaker 2>and this is this is still a big opportunity for Louisill.

162
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Trust me, this will absolutely start changing how Louisville is

163
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:46.120
<v Speaker 2>viewed the rest of the way. Now, you gotta avoid

164
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.480
<v Speaker 2>a lost SMU next week, if you can get past

165
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame, I mean, you need to avoid a lost

166
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:52.240
<v Speaker 2>SMU regardless. By the way, louis did open up as

167
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.959
<v Speaker 2>eleven point favorites in that game next Saturday. However, this

168
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:59.000
<v Speaker 2>would put Louisville in a position to where I think

169
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:03.480
<v Speaker 2>it'll be Miami Louisville and then Miami Louisville Clemson in

170
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.319
<v Speaker 2>that order, and then everybody else when it comes to

171
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Speaker 2>the ACC and the thought of getting two ACC teams in,

172
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:11.079
<v Speaker 2>it really kind of depends on how things play the

173
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:13.000
<v Speaker 2>rest of the way out. So if Louisville does lose

174
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.360
<v Speaker 2>to Notre Dame tomorrow, it doesn't eliminate I mean, it's

175
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.160
<v Speaker 2>not even a conference game, so they could still get

176
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:19.639
<v Speaker 2>to the a SEC Championship. If they would we be

177
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:23.000
<v Speaker 2>able to win that, then they're in. But I hate

178
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:25.399
<v Speaker 2>that Notre Dame lost in Norland, Illinois, Like I was

179
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 2>rooting for Norland Illinois to pull off the upset because

180
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:29.839
<v Speaker 2>it was great to see. But if they were undefeated

181
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:31.839
<v Speaker 2>and still look the same, like, let's say they found

182
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.679
<v Speaker 2>a way to drive there and punch one in and

183
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:38.960
<v Speaker 2>avoid that upset loss in Northern Illinois, they'd be viewed different,

184
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.159
<v Speaker 2>like they'd be ranked higher than Louisville. They would be

185
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:43.759
<v Speaker 2>they would probably be an even bigger favorite maybe, So

186
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:46.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, I just want the game to start. I'm

187
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:48.919
<v Speaker 2>ready to see where this team is and where they stand,

188
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:51.360
<v Speaker 2>how they stack up with an opponent like this on

189
00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:56.120
<v Speaker 2>the road. The green that Notre Dame's gonna be wearing, obviously,

190
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:57.519
<v Speaker 2>it's been a big talking point. We talked about that

191
00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:59.120
<v Speaker 2>yesterday with our guest who joined us to kind of

192
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:01.600
<v Speaker 2>preview the matt from that side of it. I think

193
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.399
<v Speaker 2>their green looks really really good, but I've never really

194
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.039
<v Speaker 2>thought about how different it is to what we typically

195
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.960
<v Speaker 2>see with Notre Dame. Like they're usually white, gold or

196
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.039
<v Speaker 2>that dark blue, and the green looks good. But like

197
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I think the visual tomorrow, Louisville wearing all white, which

198
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.879
<v Speaker 2>I love, their all white uniforms, in Notre Dame wearing green,

199
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:21.399
<v Speaker 2>which is something they only wear once a year. Like

200
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.039
<v Speaker 2>it's just gonna be it's just gonna be different than

201
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.399
<v Speaker 2>what you typically see in Notre Dame games. But right now,

202
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Louisville is still a touchdown underdog, and I'm surprised by that.

203
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm trying you know you said it earlier, John,

204
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.080
<v Speaker 2>so I don't feel like such a homer saying it.

205
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:40.519
<v Speaker 2>And we talked yesterday to a guy who knows Notre

206
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Dame as well as anybody. That's Tyler Horka, who's a

207
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:46.000
<v Speaker 2>beat writer for On three Sports covering the Irish. I mean,

208
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:48.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't think anybody's claiming they're gonna get their ass kicked,

209
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.200
<v Speaker 2>or I don't think anybody really feels that way. Maybe

210
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.559
<v Speaker 2>they do, but the spread just doesn't make a lot

211
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:54.320
<v Speaker 2>of sense to me, Like it's one of those spreads

212
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.039
<v Speaker 2>where you got to think, like, you know, what does

213
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Vegas know that we don't? What are what are they

214
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:03.080
<v Speaker 2>anticipating happens that we're not seen because Notre Dame. I mean, yeah,

215
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:04.720
<v Speaker 2>they blew the hell all out of Purdue, but a

216
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:07.039
<v Speaker 2>lot of teams are gonna do that. And you know,

217
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.879
<v Speaker 2>they didn't really like the world on fire against Miami, Ohio.

218
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:12.799
<v Speaker 2>They lost in a little Illinois and yes, I know

219
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Texas Tech at their place is a big win, but

220
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:18.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know.

221
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.279
<v Speaker 3>I think if you remove the brand, yeah either way,

222
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.320
<v Speaker 3>I think if you remove the brand from both teams

223
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:27.240
<v Speaker 3>and you just take the results, even though Louisville would

224
00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:29.720
<v Speaker 3>still be the away team. I think the spread would

225
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:32.360
<v Speaker 3>be a lot closer, maybe not necessarily in favor of

226
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.240
<v Speaker 3>Little maybe closer to like two and a half three

227
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:37.080
<v Speaker 3>something like that, if you remove the Notre Dame brand.

228
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:42.559
<v Speaker 2>And I understand, I totally understand that this is a

229
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:44.440
<v Speaker 2>big game for Notre Dame and there's a lot like

230
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:46.799
<v Speaker 2>this is like they know they've got Like this is

231
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:48.679
<v Speaker 2>not something they're gonna This game isn't going to like

232
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.720
<v Speaker 2>just they're not gonna come out flat, at least they shouldn't, right,

233
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Like it'd be a really bad sign for Marcus Freeman

234
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:55.080
<v Speaker 2>if his team comes out flat in this game where

235
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.320
<v Speaker 2>they've got a chance to pick up a win against

236
00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:00.799
<v Speaker 2>the top fifteen team and not remove that terrible loss

237
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:02.799
<v Speaker 2>on their resume, but to tell people, hey, that was

238
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:04.879
<v Speaker 2>a fluke. We're gonna keep winning and we'll see if

239
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:06.639
<v Speaker 2>we get in Like that's what they that's what they

240
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:08.559
<v Speaker 2>need to do. But it's not as if Notre Dame

241
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:11.279
<v Speaker 2>under Marcus Freeman has a history or any kind of

242
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:14.720
<v Speaker 2>a pattern of like really getting it done when when

243
00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:18.000
<v Speaker 2>when the spotlight's bright and they gotta win because they've

244
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.519
<v Speaker 2>lost to Marshall under him, we all know the NIU

245
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.039
<v Speaker 2>loss is there. He has a loss to Stanford, which

246
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.039
<v Speaker 2>doesn't sound as bad as those other two, but Stanford

247
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:29.559
<v Speaker 2>has been really bad in recent years. You know, they

248
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.320
<v Speaker 2>don't win. They don't mean he has a losing record

249
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.919
<v Speaker 2>at Notre Dame against top twenty five teams. And look,

250
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:38.639
<v Speaker 2>I know that most teams will probably have a losing

251
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:40.679
<v Speaker 2>record in the last few years against ranked teams, because

252
00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:43.440
<v Speaker 2>beating ranked teams is not something that happens very often. However,

253
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:47.279
<v Speaker 2>he's a Notre Dame, so like, it's not as if

254
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:53.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, they can bank on this historic trend of

255
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:56.720
<v Speaker 2>just being a better team than most when look, they're good,

256
00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:59.960
<v Speaker 2>but Louis was prettydamn good team too. And I really,

257
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:03.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, if you'd asked me last week, you know,

258
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:10.159
<v Speaker 2>let's say, immediately following the immediately following Louis's win against

259
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:12.679
<v Speaker 2>Georgia Tech, I don't even know when Notre Dame played

260
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Miam of Ohio. But if you had told me at

261
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:16.399
<v Speaker 2>that point not to ask what the opening line is,

262
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:19.039
<v Speaker 2>but to if you'd ask me what it'll be when

263
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.080
<v Speaker 2>it kicks off, I would have not said seven or

264
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:22.720
<v Speaker 2>seven and a half, and that's where it's at right now,

265
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.919
<v Speaker 2>And it doesn't change anything about how I feel about

266
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:26.320
<v Speaker 2>the game, because I know how this stuff works. But

267
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:30.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, I just I would have expected not all

268
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:32.159
<v Speaker 2>put it this way. It's not like I would have

269
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.600
<v Speaker 2>expected a whole lot more love for Louis because let's

270
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:36.519
<v Speaker 2>be real, they've only played one team that anybody's really

271
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:38.919
<v Speaker 2>heard of, and in that game, yeah, they won and

272
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:40.840
<v Speaker 2>they covered, but it was a different cover than you

273
00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:43.519
<v Speaker 2>typically see. Right, They got some unexpected type of plays.

274
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't mean that they're not deserving of credit for making

275
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.000
<v Speaker 2>those plays, but you don't expect to get a special

276
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.200
<v Speaker 2>team's touchdown and a defensive touchdown in the same game.

277
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:52.679
<v Speaker 2>So it's not about like, hey, why is anybody looking

278
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:54.559
<v Speaker 2>at louisvill look how great they are. It's just like,

279
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what may like what what does anybody

280
00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:59.200
<v Speaker 2>look at Notre Dames? What do they see at Notre

281
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Dame that may makes them feel like they're deserving to

282
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:04.639
<v Speaker 2>being you know, a touchdown favored against the team that

283
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:06.600
<v Speaker 2>beat them last year and in fact bullied them. There

284
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:08.240
<v Speaker 2>was a late touchdown by Notre Dame that made that

285
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.600
<v Speaker 2>thing closer than it actually was, and look beating Texas Tech.

286
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:14.879
<v Speaker 2>I keep saying Texas Tech beating Texas Tech at their

287
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:20.559
<v Speaker 2>place in College Station. You know that's impressive, but also

288
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Texas Like, we have no clue what that A and

289
00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:25.919
<v Speaker 2>M win means for Notre Dame. A and m's played

290
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:31.200
<v Speaker 2>McNee State, a terrible Florida team in Bowling Green that

291
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:36.320
<v Speaker 2>they barely beat since that game, so like, what's more

292
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.480
<v Speaker 2>of a What's what's of a what's a bigger tell

293
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:42.000
<v Speaker 2>with Notre Dame that they lost to NIU or that

294
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:45.639
<v Speaker 2>they beat Texas A and M in College Station? I mean,

295
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:47.720
<v Speaker 2>I think the one that stands out more than the

296
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:50.320
<v Speaker 2>other is the loss to NIU and n IU. Again,

297
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:52.279
<v Speaker 2>it's not just the random loss to a MAC team.

298
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:55.279
<v Speaker 2>NIU turned around lost to a terrible Buffalo team two

299
00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:59.519
<v Speaker 2>weeks later. So tomorrow we've got pregame coverage starting at

300
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:01.879
<v Speaker 2>two thirty. It's the LOISLL Football pregame Show with myself.

301
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:05.120
<v Speaker 2>It'll start again two thirty. It is presented by Pellow

302
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.559
<v Speaker 2>Windows and Doors of Central Kentucky as well as Jefferson

303
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:10.279
<v Speaker 2>Animal Hospital, and right after the game ends, we'll go

304
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:12.559
<v Speaker 2>up until three thirty when kickoff starts, and then as

305
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:14.080
<v Speaker 2>soon as it ends, we go live once again right

306
00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:16.279
<v Speaker 2>here on Sports Talk seven ninety for the Louisville Football

307
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.159
<v Speaker 2>postgame show, hosted by myself. It's presented by Alex R.

308
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:23.120
<v Speaker 2>White Lawyers. So Distracted Driver dot Com will take your

309
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:26.000
<v Speaker 2>calls and react to whatever it is that that happens

310
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.159
<v Speaker 2>between these two teams. Again, I'm confident, but it's a

311
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.879
<v Speaker 2>it's a it's not a confidence of like we're going

312
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:34.399
<v Speaker 2>to shock the world. It's and it feels good to

313
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:37.679
<v Speaker 2>be in this place because I don't feel like I'm

314
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.000
<v Speaker 2>confident that my team's going to go do something that

315
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:43.720
<v Speaker 2>they never do. I just think they're better and Jeff's

316
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:47.919
<v Speaker 2>this is the these this is where he shines. And

317
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.279
<v Speaker 2>I think in a way, Notre Dame, you know, they're

318
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:51.960
<v Speaker 2>the ones that have the pressure, right. I mean, both

319
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.320
<v Speaker 2>teams have a lot to gain by by winning this one,

320
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:56.799
<v Speaker 2>but there's more pressure on Notre Dame because if they lose,

321
00:14:57.320 --> 00:14:58.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they might as well close it up the

322
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:00.240
<v Speaker 2>rest of the season. I mean, there's a there's no

323
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.320
<v Speaker 2>scenario they would get in. And when you are a

324
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.000
<v Speaker 2>not like you don't even have a chance to go

325
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:08.960
<v Speaker 2>to a conference title game randomly and like, if Notre

326
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Dame loses, I'm not literally saying they shouldn't finish their season, right,

327
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:15.919
<v Speaker 2>but like, think about it, John, if Notre Dame loses,

328
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:17.600
<v Speaker 2>everything else is just a waste.

329
00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:19.600
<v Speaker 4>Do you think if because they.

330
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:20.879
<v Speaker 2>Can't rely on upsets in a league and go find

331
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:22.600
<v Speaker 2>a spot in the title game, they don't have a conference,

332
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:23.080
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean?

333
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:25.559
<v Speaker 3>Do you think that if this happens enough times to

334
00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:28.080
<v Speaker 3>Notre Dame over the course of this new twelve team

335
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:32.440
<v Speaker 3>playoff format, it would ever influence them to join a conference.

336
00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:34.960
<v Speaker 2>It would have to be a scenario where they quite

337
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:38.919
<v Speaker 2>literally can say that not being in a league led

338
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:41.519
<v Speaker 2>to it. Like if you lose to Louisville and then

339
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:45.039
<v Speaker 2>Northern Illinois in the month of September, that's not a

340
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:47.159
<v Speaker 2>conference thing's fault, that's you not being good enough, right.

341
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:49.399
<v Speaker 2>But if it ever ends up to where they are

342
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:52.799
<v Speaker 2>truly not able to have that needed data point, I mean,

343
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:54.759
<v Speaker 2>that's how you get in automatically, is to win your league.

344
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:56.679
<v Speaker 2>They don't have a league, so they knew that they

345
00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:58.960
<v Speaker 2>would never be able to get one of those top

346
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:01.919
<v Speaker 2>four spots in a VIBE. But they I mean there

347
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:06.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you can find in really any

348
00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:11.720
<v Speaker 2>sport a situation that's unique like this one with Notre Dame.

349
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.960
<v Speaker 2>They are a national program, whereas in college sports, no

350
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:20.919
<v Speaker 2>program is like totally national. I mean, there are clearly

351
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:24.840
<v Speaker 2>some big time programs like Alabama football or Kentucky basketball

352
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:28.320
<v Speaker 2>or Duke basketball that people just latch onto because they're

353
00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:31.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, they're they just what do they call it,

354
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:34.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, they're they're they just, yeah, they're bandwagon. They

355
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:37.159
<v Speaker 2>like who's good. But Notre Dame has a national fan

356
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:39.200
<v Speaker 2>base because they're the Catholic school, and you know, it's

357
00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:41.679
<v Speaker 2>it's an entire religion and they've got a lot of

358
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:44.600
<v Speaker 2>tradition as well. They did a movie that sucked called

359
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:51.159
<v Speaker 2>Rudy that is terrible. But you know, they don't like,

360
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:54.080
<v Speaker 2>they don't need to join a conference, and if any

361
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:57.679
<v Speaker 2>other school was in their situation, which again they can't,

362
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:01.039
<v Speaker 2>they can't even relate. Like it's just different. Nobody would

363
00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:02.720
<v Speaker 2>join a league unless you had to because NBC is

364
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:04.359
<v Speaker 2>gonna give you that much money and you can go

365
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:06.200
<v Speaker 2>do whatever you want. You don't have to follow a league.

366
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:08.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, you can do whatever you want and you

367
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:11.160
<v Speaker 2>could still make the money that a lot of schools

368
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:12.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, are making in the Big Ten and in

369
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:14.519
<v Speaker 2>the SEC. I mean you looked it up not that

370
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:16.000
<v Speaker 2>long ago. It was very comparable, wasn't it.

371
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they were forty nine or might have been fifty,

372
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:19.839
<v Speaker 3>and then the SEC was right around the same.

373
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:20.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

374
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.559
<v Speaker 2>So I mean it makes no sense for them to

375
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:23.880
<v Speaker 2>join the league. I think it would have to turn

376
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:25.839
<v Speaker 2>out to where they've now had. Okay, we have because

377
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:27.599
<v Speaker 2>another factor. It's not just that like you don't have

378
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:29.599
<v Speaker 2>that chance to win a conference and go do it,

379
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:33.559
<v Speaker 2>but also the you know, you'd have to have really

380
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:36.559
<v Speaker 2>good teams that you felt like truly didn't get a

381
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:40.039
<v Speaker 2>chance to go play for a national championship because the

382
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:42.519
<v Speaker 2>conference championship game wasn't there for you to go get

383
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:46.039
<v Speaker 2>it done. Like this year, if they run the table

384
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:47.880
<v Speaker 2>after lou If let's say they lose to Louisville tomorrow

385
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:49.640
<v Speaker 2>and then they run the table, they'd still have to

386
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:51.039
<v Speaker 2>look in the mirror for not making it. You know,

387
00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:53.599
<v Speaker 2>it wouldn't be a conference thing. But again back to

388
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:56.839
<v Speaker 2>the original point, if they do lose tomorrow, they could

389
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.759
<v Speaker 2>at least if they're in a conference. See some upsets

390
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:02.519
<v Speaker 2>happen to where they'd fall into the title game. I

391
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:04.240
<v Speaker 2>mean Louisville last year, they had a good year. They

392
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:05.720
<v Speaker 2>went seven and one in their league. So it wasn't

393
00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:08.160
<v Speaker 2>as if they just fell into it. But that happened

394
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:11.079
<v Speaker 2>because you know of how the schedule played out. All right,

395
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:12.359
<v Speaker 2>let's get to our first break here in the five

396
00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:14.039
<v Speaker 2>o'clock hour a little bit sooner than we typically do.

397
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Want to try to keep this thing on track as

398
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:18.480
<v Speaker 2>best I can. Every time I open up Facebook, I'm

399
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:21.079
<v Speaker 2>continuing to see people just mad as hell that kids

400
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:23.720
<v Speaker 2>didn't go to school today. People who have no kids,

401
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:26.279
<v Speaker 2>who don't work in the school system, that don't have

402
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:29.519
<v Speaker 2>spouses that work in the school system. Why are you

403
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:31.319
<v Speaker 2>mad that a kid didn't have to go to school today.

404
00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:33.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't get it. A couple of people did text

405
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:35.319
<v Speaker 2>them when we talked about it earlier. I'll share what

406
00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:37.440
<v Speaker 2>they had to say. There's one reason I've heard that

407
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:40.200
<v Speaker 2>I think I can at least you know, I can understand.

408
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:43.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't agree, but like I get it. Also, some

409
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:45.559
<v Speaker 2>other games we want to talk about before we get

410
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:47.599
<v Speaker 2>out of here for the weekend, and who ell, who

411
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:49.279
<v Speaker 2>knows what else we're gonna get into it's a Friday,

412
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:53.359
<v Speaker 2>it's rainy, it's nasty, but hey, it's Friday. That Trump's

413
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:55.359
<v Speaker 2>this nasty weather, all right, quick break, stick with us

414
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:59.839
<v Speaker 2>right here on Sports Talk seven ninety. It's coffee and

415
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:02.720
<v Speaker 2>company Fuelbeth Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety about

416
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:04.400
<v Speaker 2>thirty minutes left before we call it a week and

417
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:06.920
<v Speaker 2>get out of here for the weekend. But I any

418
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:09.640
<v Speaker 2>want to remind you once again to keep Jefferson Animal

419
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Hospital in mind when it comes to your pets. Now,

420
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:14.960
<v Speaker 2>emergencies happened, but you don't really plan for an emergency. Well,

421
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:17.680
<v Speaker 2>I guess you can. You can have a plan for

422
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:20.480
<v Speaker 2>when an emergency happens, but I don't think you're just

423
00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:23.359
<v Speaker 2>sitting around plan. Here we go, here's an emergency situation

424
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:26.519
<v Speaker 2>that we know is going to happen exactly at this time.

425
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:29.960
<v Speaker 2>So here's your plan. Reach out to Jefferson Animal Hospital.

426
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:32.079
<v Speaker 2>If an emergency does happen with your pet. It's a

427
00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:35.400
<v Speaker 2>scary situation. I'm sure. Thankfully, I've never been in that situation,

428
00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:37.319
<v Speaker 2>but I know many have, and a lot of you've

429
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:39.559
<v Speaker 2>probably gone to Jeffersonnimal Hospital because they've been doing this

430
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:42.599
<v Speaker 2>for a long, long time. We're talking forty four years, folks.

431
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:45.240
<v Speaker 2>And when you take care of people's pets for that

432
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:47.279
<v Speaker 2>long and you do a great job and you're passionate

433
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:49.240
<v Speaker 2>about what you do, that's going to lead to you

434
00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:51.640
<v Speaker 2>having a great reputation. And that's exactly the case for

435
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Jefferson Animal Hospital. So they've been again around since nineteen eighty.

436
00:19:55.720 --> 00:20:00.319
<v Speaker 2>They are open twenty four hours day, night, holidays, even Christmas.

437
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:02.440
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna have a doctor on staff for your pet

438
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:05.960
<v Speaker 2>if something happens. So you can get more information at

439
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Jefferson Vets dot com or give them a call at

440
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:10.880
<v Speaker 2>five O two nine hundred pets. It doesn't have to

441
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:13.599
<v Speaker 2>be an emergency. Maybe you just feel like, hey, it's

442

<v Speaker 2>been a while since I had my pet checked out.

443
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.079
<v Speaker 2>I know they probably need some check need a check up,

444
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:20.640
<v Speaker 2>maybe need some vaccinations or whatnot. So give them a

445
00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:23.920

457
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:54.720
<v Speaker 2>dot Com fiboh two nine hundred pets. All right, So

458
00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:57.880
<v Speaker 2>real quick on the Louisville matchup, I mean, I think

459
00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:00.680
<v Speaker 2>it's pretty clear if you're looking at Notre Dame from

460
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:03.519
<v Speaker 2>the louis perspective, what you feel like you really need

461
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:06.400
<v Speaker 2>to emphasize, and that is containing the run game as

462
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:10.119
<v Speaker 2>best as possible. And I don't mean just containing the

463
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:12.079
<v Speaker 2>running backs who can get loose on you. They certainly

464
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:14.240
<v Speaker 2>do that against Texas Tech, but in their top twenty

465
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:17.000
<v Speaker 2>in the country in rushing yards, so that's clearly their

466
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:19.440
<v Speaker 2>identity right now. And it's not just the running backs though.

467
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Riley Leonard, I mean he's not been I think what

468
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:25.240
<v Speaker 2>they thought they were getting at Notre Dame, but he

469
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:28.119
<v Speaker 2>has been effective at making plays with his legs and

470
00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:31.319
<v Speaker 2>Louisville has been prone in the last you know, few games.

471
00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:33.400
<v Speaker 2>They've only played three, act like they've been playing for

472
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:37.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, months now, but twice they've had quarterbacks be

473
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:40.839
<v Speaker 2>able to get loose and make some plays and extend drives.

474
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:43.720
<v Speaker 2>And of the quarterbacks they've played, I wouldn't say Riley

475
00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:45.359
<v Speaker 2>Leonard is as good as Haines King when it comes

476
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:47.119
<v Speaker 2>to that, because Haines King that's really just what he does.

477
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:49.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's again one of four quarterbacks last year

478
00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:52.079
<v Speaker 2>who had twenty five passing touchdowns and ten rushing touchdowns.

479
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:54.680
<v Speaker 2>So that's not Riley Leonard. But he has shown that

480
00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:57.119
<v Speaker 2>he's a big body and he can pick and choose

481
00:21:57.119 --> 00:21:59.000
<v Speaker 2>his spots pretty well as far as when he can

482
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:01.319
<v Speaker 2>make a play, get a first down and extended drive.

483
00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:03.799
<v Speaker 2>So you got to keep that in mind. They've not

484
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:05.559
<v Speaker 2>been great through the air. That's why I think you're

485
00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:08.200
<v Speaker 2>just gonna maybe not just give him all day, right.

486
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:10.200
<v Speaker 2>You want to try to get after him, make him uncomfortable,

487
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:13.480
<v Speaker 2>but you're better off with him in the pocket trying

488
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:15.119
<v Speaker 2>to beat you with his arm. And he's been a

489
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.559
<v Speaker 2>good quarterback throughout his career, but he's just not been

490
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:20.720
<v Speaker 2>consistent and for some reason, it has not clicked yet.

491
00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:23.400
<v Speaker 2>With him at Notre Dame and his receivers, they just

492
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:25.000
<v Speaker 2>have not been I mean they've not been able to

493
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:28.000
<v Speaker 2>get it going through the air. Now, if you're Notre

494
00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Dame and you're looking at Louisville, I don't really know

495
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:33.400
<v Speaker 2>what year conclusion is After three games, it's really one game, right,

496
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:35.839
<v Speaker 2>the first two games you throw them out the window,

497
00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:37.319
<v Speaker 2>to be honest with you. I mean, I'm sure they

498
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:39.400
<v Speaker 2>watch game film and what not to get more familiar,

499
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:42.079
<v Speaker 2>but the results in those games, the numbers in those games.

500
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:45.799
<v Speaker 2>You got a factor in who they played in Georgia Tech.

501
00:22:46.039 --> 00:22:47.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's a good team. I think I don't

502
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:48.599
<v Speaker 2>know how many games are gonna end up with this

503
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:50.720
<v Speaker 2>year as far as wins. But you know, Louisville won.

504
00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:52.960
<v Speaker 2>They covered, they look pretty good, but they didn't. They

505
00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:55.720
<v Speaker 2>didn't play clean football throughout. And I still think a

506
00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:57.279
<v Speaker 2>lot of credit goes to Georgia Tech for that. I

507
00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:59.640
<v Speaker 2>think that's what they do. But if I'm Notre Dame,

508
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:01.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't really know what I would try. I mean,

509
00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:05.319
<v Speaker 2>what I would feel like I could exploit. You know,

510
00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:08.200
<v Speaker 2>maybe it is that they've not done a good job

511
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:10.880
<v Speaker 2>at containing quarterbacks who can take off and make a play,

512
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:13.319
<v Speaker 2>but you got to know that Louisville is going to

513
00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:18.160
<v Speaker 2>make sure that's something that they take away. A lot

514
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:19.960
<v Speaker 2>of people on the text line with me that they

515
00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:23.400
<v Speaker 2>actually think Louisville will lose, but they're surprised that they're

516
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:26.079
<v Speaker 2>touchdown underdogs here to a Notre Dame team that you

517
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:30.079
<v Speaker 2>know has the worst loss of any power for team

518
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:34.799
<v Speaker 2>right now, don't they? I mean NIU, Yeah they're in

519
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:37.079
<v Speaker 2>the MAC. It's not an FCS team, but like NIU

520
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:40.640
<v Speaker 2>is now what two and one? It was great that

521
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:42.799
<v Speaker 2>NAU got ranked for a minute. Were they ranked when

522
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:45.039
<v Speaker 2>they lost to They probably were when they were.

523
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:45.839
<v Speaker 4>But it was fun.

524
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.039
<v Speaker 3>They were also ranked. They had a worse ranking than

525
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:50.160
<v Speaker 3>Notre Dame even though they beat Notre Dame, which doesn't

526
00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:50.880
<v Speaker 3>make any sense.

527
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:52.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the day people, we all know what I mean.

528
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:55.079
<v Speaker 2>It'll never go away, and I'm not advocating that it should,

529
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:57.519
<v Speaker 2>but it really is silly this early in the year

530
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:01.119
<v Speaker 2>to act like we know where anybody truly stands. I mean,

531
00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:04.319
<v Speaker 2>it's always been silly. I think the playoff and again,

532
00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:07.000
<v Speaker 2>the way they do the playoff rankings. It's not just

533
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:08.920
<v Speaker 2>because we know those are the only ones that matter.

534
00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:12.200
<v Speaker 2>But those playoff rankings are done differently than a people

535
00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:16.400
<v Speaker 2>voters do it because they don't factor in just week

536
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:19.160
<v Speaker 2>by week. They factor in like you could lose and

537
00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:21.039
<v Speaker 2>not fall off the number one spot if you've got

538
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:23.799
<v Speaker 2>that good of a resume, because one game doesn't just

539
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:25.839
<v Speaker 2>because you loss doesn't mean that body, you know, your

540
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:28.480
<v Speaker 2>body of work has shifted that much.

541
00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:33.079
<v Speaker 3>So imagine what if they didn't do any rankings until

542
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:35.680
<v Speaker 3>the first unveiling of the college football playoff.

543
00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:38.039
<v Speaker 4>Rankings and it was just random. Now, so when I.

544
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:39.640
<v Speaker 3>Say random, you don't know where you stand and tell

545
00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:40.480
<v Speaker 3>you first.

546
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:41.920
<v Speaker 2>You thought you thought you thought you were looking like

547
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:43.319
<v Speaker 2>a top ten team for sure, maybe you're not even

548
00:24:43.359 --> 00:24:45.039
<v Speaker 2>in the top twenty five. Yeah, I would hate that

549
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:47.200
<v Speaker 2>because we would all just I mean, I would be

550
00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:50.240
<v Speaker 2>desperate to get some level of some reference point to

551
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:53.559
<v Speaker 2>see objectively where where even if I didn't agree with it,

552
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:55.440
<v Speaker 2>I could understand that you know, this is this is

553
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:57.920
<v Speaker 2>thirty people who are you know, objective here, and this

554
00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:00.440
<v Speaker 2>is the way they see it. So I would hate it,

555
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:02.039
<v Speaker 2>But it would be good for college football because it

556
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:04.799
<v Speaker 2>would lead to more people talking about college football internally

557
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:07.279
<v Speaker 2>because we wouldn't have anything to like go off of

558
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:08.480
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, we just be yelling at

559
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:11.359
<v Speaker 2>each other's hands, chaotic. It would be Yeah, I don't

560
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:13.480
<v Speaker 2>want that, but again it would probably be beneficial to

561
00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:15.599
<v Speaker 2>where you know, the more people are talking about it,

562
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:17.039
<v Speaker 2>the more people are into it, the more people are

563
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:20.440
<v Speaker 2>debating about your sport, your product. It's good for that sport.

564
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:27.319
<v Speaker 2>All right, Let's see here when I said earlier that like,

565
00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:31.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand why there's so many people who are

566
00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:36.240
<v Speaker 2>are like their days been impacted somewhat negatively because kids

567
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:38.559
<v Speaker 2>didn't have to go to school today. And I guess

568
00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:41.200
<v Speaker 2>some of the people listening didn't hear the beginning of that,

569
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:43.200
<v Speaker 2>and I'm trying I should clarify it more. I guess

570
00:25:43.720 --> 00:25:46.920
<v Speaker 2>if you have a kid that goes to school, or

571
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:48.640
<v Speaker 2>you're a teacher and you want to go to like,

572
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:52.359
<v Speaker 2>it's totally different, Like it is a total total inconvenience

573
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:55.799
<v Speaker 2>to have a day off of school for your kids

574
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:59.039
<v Speaker 2>because of weather, You got to find childcare, you may

575
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:01.839
<v Speaker 2>not have the ability to work from home. There's all

576
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:05.680
<v Speaker 2>kinds of scenarios. Everybody's situation is different, but like, more

577
00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:08.039
<v Speaker 2>often than not, I'd say it's not ideal for an

578
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:10.599
<v Speaker 2>unexpected off day for a kid who's in school, especially

579
00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:13.079
<v Speaker 2>one that can't watch themselves at home. You know, that

580
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:15.279
<v Speaker 2>isn't like a teenager or something like that. So like

581
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:16.799
<v Speaker 2>the people in the text line that are telling me,

582
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:19.200
<v Speaker 2>like how inconvenience it is for them, they got to

583
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:20.720
<v Speaker 2>take a day off, they got to use a vacation day.

584
00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:22.160
<v Speaker 2>If this happens, like I'm not talking about you, I

585
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:24.480
<v Speaker 2>get it, Like I understand. I don't think anybody's at fault,

586
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:27.119
<v Speaker 2>like I think, you know, at the end of the day,

587
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:29.839
<v Speaker 2>they're looking out for kids safety when they make these decisions.

588
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:32.519
<v Speaker 2>And even if they got it wrong and they didn't

589
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:36.440
<v Speaker 2>really need that day off, they still can claim that.

590
00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:38.799
<v Speaker 2>And I believe, you know, I try to see the

591
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:40.519
<v Speaker 2>best in people. I think when they make these decisions,

592
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:42.880
<v Speaker 2>they are in fact thinking of the safety of kids,

593
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:45.599
<v Speaker 2>which is what they should do. The people I'm talking about,

594
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:49.079
<v Speaker 2>it's those that don't have any This isn't impacting them

595
00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:51.519
<v Speaker 2>at all. They don't have a kid in school, they

596
00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:53.480
<v Speaker 2>don't work for the school system, they don't even have

597
00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:55.319
<v Speaker 2>like a niece or nephew in the school system, or

598
00:26:55.680 --> 00:27:00.599
<v Speaker 2>they've got kids that go to school elsewhere. That aren't. Again,

599
00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:03.039
<v Speaker 2>if you just have the opinion, that's one thing. Everybody

600
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:04.680
<v Speaker 2>can have their opinion. Like if you think it's lame

601
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:07.880
<v Speaker 2>and weak and soft of society this day and age

602
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:09.920
<v Speaker 2>to not have kids go to school because it's windy

603
00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:12.960
<v Speaker 2>and rainy, like you're entitled to your opinion. That's totally different.

604
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:14.880
<v Speaker 2>That's not at all what I'm getting getting at, but

605
00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:18.559
<v Speaker 2>like for somebody to feel the need to continuously like

606
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:22.039
<v Speaker 2>post about it on social media, like why does it

607
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:24.519
<v Speaker 2>bother you that that much? And the reason I say

608
00:27:24.519 --> 00:27:26.559
<v Speaker 2>that much is because we all have things in our

609
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:30.119
<v Speaker 2>mind that we don't think to just get out our

610
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:33.160
<v Speaker 2>phones and start typing away to post on social media.

611
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:35.440
<v Speaker 2>More often than not, when somebody does that and it's

612
00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:37.720
<v Speaker 2>a gripe, it's something that really triggered them more than

613
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:39.880
<v Speaker 2>maybe most things, because they are they they gotta let

614
00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:42.759
<v Speaker 2>I gotta let people know about this. It's insane that

615
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:45.119
<v Speaker 2>these kids are this week and they don't even have

616
00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:47.119
<v Speaker 2>to go out and at the bus stop when it's raining,

617
00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:50.319
<v Speaker 2>and that those are the people that I'm that I'm

618
00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:52.160
<v Speaker 2>referring to, like I just would it's not I mean again,

619
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:54.319
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna do what you're gonna do. I'm not judging

620
00:27:54.319 --> 00:27:56.119
<v Speaker 2>you to say you're a terrible person. I'm just trying

621
00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:58.839
<v Speaker 2>to understand why it bothers you that much. And again,

622
00:27:58.839 --> 00:28:01.400
<v Speaker 2>most people who respond or responding as people who I

623
00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:04.160
<v Speaker 2>understand why would be an inconvenience for you. But one

624
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:07.920
<v Speaker 2>person says that it's all about the taxpayer impact, and

625
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:11.559
<v Speaker 2>that federal public education funding is equivalent of zero point

626
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:14.680
<v Speaker 2>fifty one percent of total taxpayer income. So I think

627
00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:16.559
<v Speaker 2>what you're saying is like, if they're not in school,

628
00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:20.319
<v Speaker 2>like maybe they like your tax dollars are for them

629
00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:23.640
<v Speaker 2>to be going to school, and your money's being wasted

630
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:25.279
<v Speaker 2>if they don't. Is that what you're saying their money like,

631
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:27.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm just trying to understand what that means.

632
00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:30.160
<v Speaker 3>If that's what he's saying, I don't get how the

633
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:33.680
<v Speaker 3>argument makes sense because they make up the day or

634
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:35.839
<v Speaker 3>I mean, and now again, if you're doing intel, it's

635
00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:36.400
<v Speaker 3>a different store.

636
00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:38.119
<v Speaker 2>But if you've got to add days, then you know

637
00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:39.519
<v Speaker 2>it's going to cost more money for.

638
00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:41.400
<v Speaker 3>Storing or to like keep the school open and you know,

639
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:43.400
<v Speaker 3>pay for the businesses and that time stuff.

640
00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:45.680
<v Speaker 2>I think this person did, in fact deliver what I

641
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:47.960
<v Speaker 2>was asking something that at least like again, I'm not

642
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:50.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, and hey, that's the way you see it cool,

643
00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Like I really don't mean but that that is somebody

644
00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:55.920
<v Speaker 2>who at least can bring I think it's a little

645
00:28:55.960 --> 00:28:57.920
<v Speaker 2>much for you to be losing sleep over that and

646
00:28:57.960 --> 00:29:00.920
<v Speaker 2>maybe posted on Facebook and call in Marty Polio the

647
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:04.519
<v Speaker 2>worst names ever. But like that at least is something.

648
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:06.319
<v Speaker 2>I think it's kind of silly, But hey, you have

649
00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:09.759
<v Speaker 2>your opinion. I have mine speaking of Martin Polio. Maybe

650
00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:12.960
<v Speaker 2>nobody's told me otherwise. Maybe it is a coincidence, but

651
00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:15.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it is, considering the fact that this

652
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:17.799
<v Speaker 2>was probably a questionable decision for them to call off

653
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:20.160
<v Speaker 2>school like they did last night because of wind and rain.

654
00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:22.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, to me, it's just about keeping kids safe

655
00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:25.640
<v Speaker 2>and always making sure you're not going to risk it.

656
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:29.039
<v Speaker 2>But the fact that he then decided to announce his

657
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:33.519
<v Speaker 2>retirement today, not effective immediately, but effective as of July,

658
00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's got to be related to this. I mean,

659
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:42.200
<v Speaker 2>I would stand corrected if in fact there's you know,

660
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:44.440
<v Speaker 2>there's other reasons, and I'm sure this isn't the only reason.

661
00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Let's be honest, this guy's taken a beating in the

662
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:50.920
<v Speaker 2>public for the for the JCPS situation in the last

663
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:55.079
<v Speaker 2>few years, the JCPS debacle in recent years, and look,

664
00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:57.880
<v Speaker 2>that's his job. I mean, it's a tough gig. What

665
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:00.400
<v Speaker 2>did Venetti say on Twitter about job?

666
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:03.920
<v Speaker 3>He said, what's worse electrodes to the privates or being

667
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:05.519
<v Speaker 3>the JCPS superintendent?

668
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:08.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean that somebody has what's the voltage?

669
00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:11.680
<v Speaker 2>It's It's one of those jobs that I it's a

670
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:13.799
<v Speaker 2>thankless gig, and it's one of those jobs that I

671
00:30:13.880 --> 00:30:17.279
<v Speaker 2>oftentimes think, like God, like, I'm sure it pays well,

672
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:21.160
<v Speaker 2>and you are working a job that is very important,

673
00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:24.680
<v Speaker 2>helping children, helping a school system that you know is

674
00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:28.079
<v Speaker 2>here to develop children and make an impact on their

675
00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:31.119
<v Speaker 2>lives and everybody's lives. Like it, It's certainly something you

676
00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:32.920
<v Speaker 2>do for a labor of love. But like you can

677
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:35.119
<v Speaker 2>do other things and go home at night knowing you're

678
00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:38.240
<v Speaker 2>helping people that you know, other jobs that don't have

679
00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:40.839
<v Speaker 2>what this comes with, Because I actually think, again, what

680
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:43.000
<v Speaker 2>do I know just an outsider's opinion who doesn't have

681
00:30:43.039 --> 00:30:45.519
<v Speaker 2>a kid in school in JCPS. I'm not an employee

682
00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:49.480
<v Speaker 2>at JACPS. Clearly they've made mistakes. They would tell you that,

683
00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:51.240
<v Speaker 2>but I think some of the issues that go on

684
00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:55.759
<v Speaker 2>at JCPS a route to those issues. The root of

685
00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:59.480
<v Speaker 2>those issues is parents that you know, kids aren't getting

686
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:01.400
<v Speaker 2>good guy to they don't know how to behave anymore,

687
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:06.880
<v Speaker 2>or maybe their kids aren't terribly behaved. But like, and

688
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:08.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm about to do it, John, I'm about to be

689
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:14.599
<v Speaker 2>beck in Marjorie. But if a teacher told my parents

690
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:18.319
<v Speaker 2>I did this or I did that, there wasn't a conversation.

691
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:21.720
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't a well let's get let's get together and

692
00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:24.599
<v Speaker 2>see what happened. I know my Nicholas, he I know

693
00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:27.400
<v Speaker 2>he wouldn't do that. There was no conversation. That's what

694
00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:31.400
<v Speaker 2>because my parents respected that teachers were not going I'm

695
00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:34.319
<v Speaker 2>sure there's teachers that my parents didn't like, but teachers

696
00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:35.880
<v Speaker 2>were gonna get the benefit of doubt when it comes

697
00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:37.599
<v Speaker 2>to their parent And I'm not even saying they always

698
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:40.920
<v Speaker 2>deserve that, but like, there are some parents who refuse

699
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:42.759
<v Speaker 2>to believe that their kids would ever do something wrong.

700
00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:48.119
<v Speaker 2>And like, if your kids are misbehaving, not just you know,

701
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:50.480
<v Speaker 2>your typical misbehaving at school, but I mean like being

702
00:31:50.599 --> 00:31:54.079
<v Speaker 2>badass kids that you know would be in jail if

703
00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:56.519
<v Speaker 2>they were old enough, and that happens a lot. People

704
00:31:56.559 --> 00:31:59.000
<v Speaker 2>don't mean I'm I'm not saying this for shock value.

705
00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:01.440
<v Speaker 2>This is real life stuff here, Like there's some badass

706
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:04.920
<v Speaker 2>kids out there, not just in JCPS everywhere, but like

707
00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:07.200
<v Speaker 2>JCPS is a huge school district. But if they're being

708
00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:09.400
<v Speaker 2>bad ass kids at school and getting in trouble and

709
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:12.440
<v Speaker 2>going home and it's not being related to them that

710
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:18.680
<v Speaker 2>their behavior is unacceptable, teachers can't win, administrators can't win.

711
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:22.519
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know the percentage of parents who operate

712
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:26.240
<v Speaker 2>like that, but clearly there's enough to where there's nothing

713
00:32:26.599 --> 00:32:31.480
<v Speaker 2>school administration can do. In fact, there's something there's some

714
00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:33.759
<v Speaker 2>kids to where I would bet that there's nothing parents

715
00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:34.839
<v Speaker 2>can do, Like some kids are.

716
00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:41.200
<v Speaker 3>Just bad in enabling though all teachers are liberal buffoons

717
00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:43.480
<v Speaker 3>or snowflakes, and that you know, that's the problem with

718
00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:44.160
<v Speaker 3>the school system.

719
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Is jenial what they think. I mean, your wife is

720
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:48.440
<v Speaker 2>a teacher, I don't know if and she's never really

721
00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:53.839
<v Speaker 2>grade trust me. I mean that's not something that I

722
00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:56.200
<v Speaker 2>have have heard, like directly, but I know about it.

723
00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:59.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean I know that exists. I mean liberal snowflakes

724
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:01.359
<v Speaker 2>is what a lot of people probably yelled today when

725
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:03.240
<v Speaker 2>they woke up when they saw that kids weren't going

726
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:03.960
<v Speaker 2>to school right.

727
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:06.480
<v Speaker 3>Like PCPs didn't know the badasses of Bullet County.

728
00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh hell yeah, you should have seen Jerry Dudey. You

729
00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:12.839
<v Speaker 2>think we're liberals in this county, got another thing coming, baby,

730
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:16.319
<v Speaker 2>it's red Kingdom on the on this side. Just so,

731
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:18.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like, I mean, you know, I think people

732
00:33:18.400 --> 00:33:21.319
<v Speaker 2>know where I am politically, if anywhere, but you know,

733
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:26.680
<v Speaker 2>let's be real, a lot of Trump flags uh within

734
00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:29.000
<v Speaker 2>walking distance to where I'm sitting right now. And that's

735
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:30.680
<v Speaker 2>not a bad thing. I'm not saying like that means

736
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:32.559
<v Speaker 2>that like these people are flawed. I'm just saying, like,

737
00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:36.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, a lot more uh a lot more red

738
00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:39.279
<v Speaker 2>over here than blue in uh in in in Bullet County,

739
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:41.240
<v Speaker 2>but not with UKU of L. It's actually the opposite.

740
00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:45.799
<v Speaker 2>Although I will say this, man, I see way more

741
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:48.160
<v Speaker 2>U of L representation in Bullet County than I ever have,

742
00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:52.079
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know if I just wasn't paying attention before,

743
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:53.799
<v Speaker 2>but it's nice to see.

744
00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:56.799
<v Speaker 3>I think I know the movement from you know, people

745
00:33:56.839 --> 00:33:58.359
<v Speaker 3>moving out into Bullet County.

746
00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:01.960
<v Speaker 2>And I would say, I would say that the county

747
00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:05.799
<v Speaker 2>outside of Jefferson that has the most Louisville fans in

748
00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:09.880
<v Speaker 2>the city of Kentucky would probably be Bullet and Oldham.

749
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:12.519
<v Speaker 2>That'd be my guess. And I want to say Bullet

750
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:14.599
<v Speaker 2>would have more, but I don't know enough about Oldham County.

751
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:16.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if they. I mean, I know they

752
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:18.360
<v Speaker 2>have Louisville fans there, and Louivel fans are everywhere. I mean,

753
00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:22.920
<v Speaker 2>and this show. Not to say that, like our biggest

754
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:25.519
<v Speaker 2>listener base is just Rando's out there in different parts

755
00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:27.880
<v Speaker 2>of the state, but like they don't they can't turn

756
00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:31.599
<v Speaker 2>on their radio in Paduka, Kentucky and listen to this.

757
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:33.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they could try. Signal might be that good,

758
00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:35.679
<v Speaker 2>but you know, they they don't get it anywhere else,

759
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:37.159
<v Speaker 2>so they got to they gotta come here to get

760
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:39.079
<v Speaker 2>their fix because they're Louisville fans. So like I hear

761
00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:41.199
<v Speaker 2>from those people because they're like, hey, I'm out here

762
00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:43.599
<v Speaker 2>in you know, such and such county. But it's nice to,

763
00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:46.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, hear U ofl sports and whatnot. So not

764
00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:48.559
<v Speaker 2>to say that there's no Louisville fans anywhere other than

765
00:34:48.599 --> 00:34:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Jefferson County. That's not the case at all. But I

766
00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:53.079
<v Speaker 2>would say the biggest bulk of them outside of Jefferson

767
00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:56.400
<v Speaker 2>County would probably be Bullet or Oldham, and I don't know,

768
00:34:56.400 --> 00:34:58.519
<v Speaker 2>maybe Shelby. I don't know. Shelby I think has a

769
00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:01.079
<v Speaker 2>lot of UK fans. UK fans Avery they're again I'm

770
00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:03.440
<v Speaker 2>not kidding. You could go to Pluto and run into

771
00:35:03.440 --> 00:35:05.159
<v Speaker 2>a UK fan and they'd have a UK shirt on

772
00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:08.639
<v Speaker 2>and you wouldn't even have to approach them. They would

773
00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:10.840
<v Speaker 2>come to you and probably let you know they're a

774
00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:13.960
<v Speaker 2>UK fan, and they might not even know, Like you

775
00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:15.960
<v Speaker 2>could be a different form of life, you could be

776
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:19.400
<v Speaker 2>an alien and they would just not be able to

777
00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:23.119
<v Speaker 2>resist throwing l's down at at you, because that's that's

778
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:25.119
<v Speaker 2>that's their nature. It's what they do. All right, quick

779
00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:26.519
<v Speaker 2>break will come back on the other side. Wrap this

780
00:35:26.519 --> 00:35:28.519
<v Speaker 2>thing up. It's coffee and company. Feel about Thornton's right

781
00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:33.039
<v Speaker 2>here on sport Stalk seven ninety there's no doubt both

782
00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:36.320
<v Speaker 2>fan bases here when it comes to basketball are super

783
00:35:37.159 --> 00:35:40.679
<v Speaker 2>excited for these new eras for different reasons and some

784
00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:42.840
<v Speaker 2>I guess for the same reason just it's fresh, it's new.

785
00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:46.639
<v Speaker 2>I think both guys have really convinced their fans that

786
00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:49.920
<v Speaker 2>they're you know, they're not only you know, worthy of

787
00:35:49.960 --> 00:35:52.880
<v Speaker 2>the job, but they're they're appreciative of it. They you know,

788
00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:56.199
<v Speaker 2>they understand what the gig is. So we've seen that

789
00:35:56.280 --> 00:35:59.679
<v Speaker 2>with the donations that came in with Nil when Pat

790
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Kelsey took over, which helped him go out and build

791
00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:04.079
<v Speaker 2>this big roster. But this Kentucky fan base, we know

792
00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:06.679
<v Speaker 2>they're massive, and Mark Pope's one of their own. But this,

793
00:36:06.760 --> 00:36:09.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Big Blue Madness has fallen off in recent years.

794
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Nobody would tell you otherwise. They sold out tickets for

795
00:36:11.800 --> 00:36:15.000
<v Speaker 2>that in twenty four minutes. Rough Arenas sold out twenty

796
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:18.840
<v Speaker 2>four minutes the entire arena for Big Blue Madness, and

797
00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:22.159
<v Speaker 2>that just speaks to how excited they are for for

798
00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Mark Pope. And I you know, we'll see if he

799
00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:27.719
<v Speaker 2>can if he can win, but uh yeah, I mean

800
00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:30.159
<v Speaker 2>that's it's pretty impressive. I'll give him credit for that,

801
00:36:31.239 --> 00:36:33.920
<v Speaker 2>all right, don't forget tomorrow game day coverage is here.

802
